City files appeal in utility suit
By AMALIA KORTRIGHT Bureau Chief
The city of Wetumpka recently filed an appeal with the Alabama Supreme Court concerning the dismissal of Alabama Power Company from a suit filed by the city against it, Bellsouth Telecommunications LLC and Charter Communications, Inc. The suit sought to have the three utility companies fund the relocation of utility poles in certain parts of the city in
the relocation of the poles would affect Alabama Power’s rates, which are exclusively under the domain of the Alabama Public Service Commission. Jordan said they have received notice of the appeal, and are currently working to finalize a reply before the end of October. Jordan said they support the circuit court’s decision. “We do agree with the ruling at the circuit court level that dismissed Alabama Power based on a lack of jurisdiction,” Jordan said.
of overhead wires and poles. “The legislature and the constitution of the state of Alabama basically placed in cities the authority to manage their internal affairs,” Robison said. “One of those affairs is how people are going to use our streets and our rights of way.” Shortly after the appeal was filed, the Alabama League of Municipalities and the city of Orange Beach filed briefs in Wetumpka’s favor. Alabama Power public information representative Mike Jordan said funding
accordance with a 2017 city ordinance. In May, Elmore County Circuit Judge Ben Fuller dismissed Alabama Power from the suit. “We’re basically saying that we think that was the wrong decision,” Wetumpka City Planning and Program Director David Robison said. “We want the supreme court to overturn that order, and rule on the jurisdiction.” Because the city is a police jurisdiction and a highway authority, Robison said they have the right to regulate the location

By AMALIA KORTRIGHT Bureau Chief
The Elmore County Commission unanimously voted to establish three bank accounts for funds that go toward feeding jail inmates and state prisoners in the county. According to Commission chair Troy Stubbs, the account will be opened with Primesouth Bank, and Elmore County Sheriff Bill Franklin will be authorized to oversee the funds. “The governor basically wants to make sure that money is not mingling with any other money, so when the state wants to come and audit, it’s very clear,” Stubbs said. During the commission’s work session, prior to the meeting, the item was added to the agenda at See INMATES • Page A2

Pink Carpet Gala raises funds, honors breast cancer survivors By AMALIA KORTRIGHT Bureau Chief
Dozens of people dressed up for a good cause during Breast and Body Health Inc.’s inaugural Pink Carpet Gala at the Wetumpka Civic Center Saturday. According to Breast and Body Health, Inc. program director Natacha Graham, proceeds from the event will go toward covering the medical and personal expenses of cancer patients, primarily those
fighting breast cancer, who are undergoing chemotherapy and other types of treatments. “One drug treatment is about $25,000, and it can go up to about $45,000, depending on if they need another drug. We have had ladies who decided to die because they couldn’t afford the drug and they didn’t want to put that financial burden on their families. It happens more often than you would think,” Graham said. “While they’re going See GALA • Page A2

It’s costly, and sometimes they can’t afford it, and that’s what we’re here to do.� During the event, WSFA’s Tonya Terry served as the master of ceremonies and Sheyenn Webb-Christburg, known as the “smallest freedom fighter,� was the keynote speaker. A silent auction was also held, and live entertainment was provided by Barbara Blanks. During her presentation, Christburg recounted her experiences as a caregiver to her father while he dealt with cancer and encouraged the audience to keep their faith in God, even during hard times. “Life is a conglomeration of ups and downs, twists and turns, challenges and changes, in which any of us will never, ever be subtracted from. If it ain’t one thing, it’s another,� Christburg said. “But what will always matter is how we respond to our challenges.� Graham, whose mother is the director and founder of Breast and Body Health, Inc. and a four-time breast cancer survivor, said the gala also served to honor anyone who has been affected by breast cancer. “We want to recognize those women who are here, but we also want to recognize those women who can’t be here because they can’t afford it, because they’re

use of solar energy. According to Oscillation Transia founder and director Jess Giacobbe, the goal of the film festival is to educate people on about solar energy, introduce people to films they might not have seen otherwise and create a fun, community event. Nine international short films will be featured about 6:30 p.m. Giacobbe said the majority of them are independent documentaries or experimental short films. “All of the films have to do with the themes of travel, nature and movement,� Giacobbe said. At 4:30 p.m., Giacobbe said they will be hosting a workshop on the value of solar energy and how to incorporate it into everyday life. “We want to offer people the knowledge about how you can do this yourself,� Giacobbe said. According to
Giacobbe, this is the second year they’ve hosted the film festival in Millbrook. She said Millbrook is the 13th stop in their tour throughout the United States. Giacobbe said she specifically wanted to have the film festival at Spectre because of her love of Tim Burton films. “We started in Brooklyn, made our way to the west coast and now we’re coming to the south,� Giacobbe said. “Last year’s event was the most successful event we had, so we had to go back to Alabama.� Giacobbe said the event is free to the public. While they had to limit entry to about 150 people last year, she said this year’s film festival is open to everyone. “Last year, we actually had to turn people away, which won’t happen this year,� Giacobbe said. “We really appreciated the positive response from everyone we spoke to there.�

Bass was initially arrested and charged with manslaughter, a Class B felony, in July 2017. However, the state offered the jury the option to convict Bass of criminally negligent homicide, a Class A misdemeanor, which they ultimately did. Before the collision, Bass had received a call about a driver passed out in a vehicle in front of a pump at a local gas station. Sibley Reynolds compared the situation

‘Painting from the heart:’ Local artists gearing up for exhibit By AMALIA KORTRIGHT Bureau Chief
A well-known pair of Wetumpka artists have spent the past 18 months getting ready for their next exhibit at a major Alabama gallery. According to Steve and Deb Garst, they spent hours on 99 paintings that will be featured in the exhibit, which is being held at the Jemison Carnegie Heritage Hall Museum in Talladega. The Garsts said all of the paintings were created in the studio behind their house. Deb Garst said an additional painting she had sold to a local church was loaned to her for use in the gallery. “We put our lives on hold for over a year now, just to concentrate on creating,” Steve Garst said. “We get up in the morning and go to work in the studio, just like everybody else.” Heritage Hall curator and director Valerie White said they will be both the first Wetumpka artists and the first married couple to be featured at the museum in years. “Their styles are very diverse, so we’re going to have the best of both worlds,” White said. “It’s going to be very interesting to see both Steve and Deb’s art, as well as the art they’ve done together.” Deb Garst said they’re excited to be representing Elmore County. According to Deb Garst, she and her husband were invited by Heritage Hall to do the exhibit after she became involved in a show for the Alabama Watercolor Society. “I was juried in, and won one of the awards,” Deb Garst said. “When we went to pick up my painting, the gallery director came to us and said, ‘Would
you be interested in doing a two-person show? We’ve never had anybody from your area do a show here.’ Of course, we’ve jumped on it.” The gallery’s opening reception will be held on Oct. 27, and it will be open until Nov. 23. Steve Garst said the exhibit is dedicated to his high school art teacher Bobby Carr. Because of Carr, Steve Garst said he was able to meet his wife. “We actually met an at an (Elmore County) Art Guild meeting. I was living alone in Montgomery forever, and my friend Bobby Carr said, ‘You’ve got to get out of the house,’” Steve Garst said. “He has touched so many lives. He’s an amazing guy, and we just celebrated his 90th birthday this summer. He’s the guest of honor.” Submitted / The Herald While they’re typically involved competitions and craft festivals, the Steve Garst’s painting, ‘Tuscan Passion,’ will be one of the 99 works painted by him and Deb Garsts said they’ve discovered hosting Garst for their exhibition. The gallery’s opening reception will be held on Oct. 27, and it will an exhibit requires a different level of remain open until Nov. 23. self-expression. “When you’re painting for something like this, you go within yourself, and you connect with the thoughts and idea and things that have shaped your life since you were a child, and you bring those to the surface,” Steve Garst said. “You’re not painting to please someone, you’re painting to show everybody out there what you’ve got and what you’re about.” “You’re painting from the heart,” Deb Garst added. The Garsts said they have received a lot of support from local art groups, including the art guild, the Dixie Art Colony Foundation and the Kelly Fitzpatrick Memorial Gallery. “It’s just been a community effort, to tell you the truth,” Steve Garst said.

Most honest president in history?
D
onald Trump may be remembered as the most honest president in modern American history. Don’t get me wrong, Trump lies all the time. He said he “enacted the biggest tax cuts and reforms in American history” (actually they are the eighth largest) and “our economy is the strongest it’s ever been in the history of our country” (which may one day be true, but not yet). In part, it’s a New York thing — everything is the biggest and the best. But when it comes to the real barometer of presidential truthfulness — keeping his promises — Trump is a paragon of honesty. For better or worse, since taking office Trump has done exactly what he promised he would do. Trump kept his promise to move the U.S. Embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, something his three immediate predecessors also promised yet failed to do. He promised to “crush and destroy ISIS,” and two years later he is on the verge of eliminating the Islamic State’s physical caliphate. He promised to impose a travel ban on countries that he saw as posing a terrorist threat, and after several false starts the final version of his ban was upheld by the Supreme Court. He promised to punish Syria if it used chemical weapons on its people, and, unlike his immediate predecessor, he followed through — not once but twice. Trump pledged to nominate Supreme Court justices “in the mold of Justice [Antonin] Scalia,” and now Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh sit on the high court. Trump also pledged to fill the federal appellate courts with young, conservative judges, and so far the Senate has confirmed 29 — more than any recent president at this point in his administration. Trump vowed to pass historic tax reforms, and signed the first major overhaul of the tax code
MARC THIESSEN Columnist in three decades. He vowed an unprecedented regulatory rollback, with a strict policy to eliminate two existing regulations for every new regulation. In his first year, he achieved $8.1 billion in lifetime regulatory savings and is on track to achieve an additional $9.8 billion this year. During the campaign, he told African American voters, “What do you have to lose? ... I will straighten it out. I’ll bring jobs back. We’ll bring spirit back.” On his watch, African American unemployment reached the lowest level ever recorded, and his tax reform included a little-noticed provision creating “Opportunity Zones” to try to revitalize struggling towns and inner-city communities. Trump promised to cancel President Barack Obama’s Clean Power Plan, withdraw from the Paris climate accord, approve the Keystone XL and Dakota Access pipelines, and open the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge to exploration. He fulfilled all of those pledges. On trade, he kept his promise to withdraw from the Trans-Pacific Partnership and impose tariffs on steel and aluminum. He also committed to renegotiating NAFTA and the U.S.-Korea Free Trade Agreement — and recently signed new deals with Mexico, Canada and South Korea. He committed to imposing tariffs on China to force it to open its markets and stop its theft of intellectual property — and is following through on that pledge. Whatever one thinks of Trump’s trade policies, he is doing exactly what he said. The president pledged historic
increases in defense spending, and delivered. He pledged to bring back manufacturing jobs, and manufacturing jobs are growing at the fastest pace in more than two decades. He pledged to sign “Right to Try” legislation to give dying Americans access to experimental treatments, and did. He pledged to take on the opioid epidemic, and will soon sign a sweeping bipartisan opioids package into law. Where Trump has failed to keep promises, such as building the wall or repealing Obamacare, it has not been for a lack of trying. Only in a few rare instances has he backtracked on a campaign pledge — such as when he admitted that he was wrong to promise a complete withdrawal of U.S. forces from Afghanistan and reversed course. I’m glad he did. But whether one agrees or disagrees is not the point. When Trump says he will do something, you can take it to the bank. Yes, he takes liberties with the truth. But unlike his predecessor, he did not pass his signature legislative achievement on the basis of a lie (“If you like your health care plan, you can keep it”) — which is clearly worse than falsely bragging that your tax cut is the biggest ever. The fact is, in his first two years, Trump has compiled a remarkable record of presidential promise-keeping. He’d probably say it’s the best in history — which may or may not end up being true. It’s too soon to tell. Marc A. Thiessen writes a twice-weekly column for The Post on foreign and domestic policy and contributes to the PostPartisan blog.

Letters to the Editor
Don’t get shut out on election day Dear Editor, In the Georgia governor’s race 53,000 new voter registration applications are “on hold” in the office of Georgia’s white secretary of state Brian Kemp who is running for governor against the progressive African American former state representative Stacey Abrams. Seventy percent of the registrations now on hold are from black voters and they have not been informed that their applications are on hold. This should serve as a wakeup call for voters everywhere. Your vote is your voice and this is another example of how
Republican controlled legislatures in some states have decided that certain voices must not be heard. Those voices include African Americans, Hispanics and other people of color; low-income workers and young people (especially the college educated). Election roadblocks and outright voter suppression came in many forms. In addition to implementing photo ID requirements, early voting and church sponsored initiatives such as “Souls to the Polls” have been targeted in some states because they tend to benefit low-income workers and people of color. Furthermore, attempts have been made to intentionally reduce
the number of polling places in low-income or minority areas and in some states college students are not allowed to register using their school address or their student IDs are no longer accepted. The deadline to register in Alabama is Oct. 22, and I encourage all citizens to be proactive regarding their voting rights. You can check your registration status online at Sos.alabama.gov/alabama-votes or contact the Elmore County Board of Registrars at 334567-1150 if you have questions. Michael E. Waters Elmore
Reader says wake up to what is happening to us Dear Editor, People are getting too big for themselves. They think they are much better than anybody else, but they are very wrong. We need to stop and think of how we would feel if someone was really mean to us for no reason at all. I am going to give some great scriptures to read for everybody’s own good. Read Luke 18: 9, 11 and 12. Also read Romans 2: 1 through 3. It upsets me a lot when all you can hear is so-and-so did this or that. We are not to go around
repeating what we hear that is bad. Make sure what you hear is true. We are not to go around talking about other people unless it’s something good. Look around at all the murders we are having today, on account of people not caring for other people. My husband and I were at the boat landing. We were feeding the ducks and geese. We had six or eight small children come where we were, and one of the little boys asked, “May I have some bread? Thank you.” They would say thank you and give the others some of the bread. Those were the most precious children I have seen in a
long time. People need to get back to real life with teaching our children. Most children don’t know anything but their old (iPads) and things to play all these crazy games of shooting and murdering. Someone gave me a boat full of crazy games and movies, but I wouldn’t give them to my great-grandchildren. I didn’t like the look of them. Our children, down to our great-grandchildren, are not going to know how to do anything for themselves. Betty Wesson Wetumpka

Millbrook officer accused of relationship with SEHS student By AMALIA KORTRIGHT Bureau Chief
A Millbrook police officer recently resigned after allegations surfaced about an inappropriate relationship between him and an 18-year-old Stanhope Elmore High School student. According to police chief P.K. Johnson, an internal investigation had already been conducted by the department. When the MPD followed up on the allegations, Johnson said the officer immediately resigned. Johnson said a second officer reported to the department’s patrol division commander that the officer, who had been working an off-duty security job at the high school, was seen talking to the student multiple times. Johnson said the officer and the student had been spotted talking in isolated areas of the school’s parking lot, which had aroused suspicions among school employees. According to Johnson, the officer said the student confided in him about an abusive relationship when he was initially questioned. The officer was instructed to refer the student to the counselor and forbidden from working off-duty at the school. “Police and school officials were confident that the issue had been resolved,” Johnson said. Johnson said the investigation was later reopened when police received more evidence indicating an inappropriate relationship. Johnson said Millbrook officers are expected to behave professionally at all times. If the allegations are true, Johnson said the officer failed to uphold the department’s standards of conduct. “I am disgusted by these allegations, and I will not tolerate this type of behavior from our officers,” Johnson said. “Law enforcement is a public trust, and we must hold ourselves to the highest of standards.” Johnson also commended the second officer for reporting the situation to the patrol commander. “Because of his attentiveness, (the) situation has been resolved to this point,” Johnson said. As of Wednesday, Johnson said no criminal charges had been filed against the officer. Although the relationship is in violation of the Code of Alabama, Johnson said the student’s parents do not wish to pursue prosecution.

Natacha Graham, the owner of B and B’s Health Boutique, and Latoya King, the owner of King Bridal and Formal Boutique, celebrate the relocation of their businesses with city officials and the Wetumpka Area Chamber of Commerce.
First joint ribbon cutting held in the city By AMALIA KORTRIGHT Bureau Chief
T
he Wetumpka Area Chamber of Commerce held its inaugural joint ribbon cutting Friday to celebrate the relocation of two local businesses in the city’s downtown area. B and B’s Health Boutique, which was originally located at 100 Court St., recently moved to the space in the building next door. Taking B and B’s place is King Bridal and Formal Boutique, which moved from its previous location on South Main Street. “These two businesses are unique in that they have already opened their businesses in Wetumpka, and this ribbon cutting is the result of growth. They’re doing well, and they’re moving to better locations,” chamber director Gerry Purcell said. “We’ve done ribbon cuttings on both of these businesses in the last two years.” According to Purcell, the
chamber considered hosting two separate ribbon cutting events for each business. However, he said the owners opted to host them together. “These two business owners are close friends, but they’re also very close business peers. They challenge each other constantly, and you see things like the work they’re doing with the nonprofit at B and B’s and the bridal gala events that King Bridal has brought to the city,” Purcell said. “It’s new stuff attracting new people.” As good friends and fellow business owners, B and B’s owner Natacha Graham said she looks forward to working closely with King Bridal and Formal owner Latoya King and seeing how their businesses complement each other. “She does the gowns and we provide the undergarments that go under the gowns,” Graham said. “For us it works being side by side. We’re great friends anyway, so we help each other when we need it.” Graham opened B and B’s about two years ago, and moved

in order to expand it. King Bridal and Formal initially opened four years ago in Phenix City before moving her business to Wetumpka about a year and a half ago. King made the decision to move King Bridal and Formal downtown after noticing the rate at which it was growing. “I like everything that downtown has, as far as the new developments that are about to take place,” King said. “I’m glad to be downtown and I’m excited.” In the future, King said she and Graham are planning to team up to contribute to that progress by helping bring in more businesses. Mayor Jerry Willis said the “grand re-opening” is a sign of Wetumpka’s growth, and he is glad to lend support on behalf of the city. “It’s just a good day that we’ve filled up two more buildings in downtown Wetumpka,” Willis said. “We needed to do this, and we need to support our businesses. The city’s just happy to be a part of it.”
City seeks grant for airport improvements By AMALIA KORTRIGHT Bureau Chief

Schaefer Engineering, said they are looking to expand the airport to the south side of the property it stands on and build a concrete apron that can capacitate helicopter landings if needed. According to Stump, the grant is $500,000, 90 percent of which is reimbursable through federal funds. The remaining 10 percent, which amounts of $50,000, will be evenly split between the Alabama Department of Transportation and the city. Each year, Stump said the airport is entitled to $150,000 from the FAA. However, Stump said they are looking to receive three years’ worth of those funds upfront. “We really need three years worth of entitlement funds to do what’s needed. If we try to break it down to pieces, it’s just going to cost extra money,” Stump said. In other business, the council voted to: Make a payment of $17,190 in monthly increments to Retirement Systems of Alabama for city employees. Rent a lift for the installation of holiday decorations throughout the city. Declare a 2003 Chevrolet Impala, a shop built utility trailer, and miscellaneous scrap street signs as surplus items.

HOW DO BATTERIES WORK?
A battery is a device that converts chemical energy into electric energy. The electrical battery was invented in Italy in 1800 by Alessandro Volta. A battery, also known as a cell, is composed of a few simple components. Each cell has two conductors called electrodes which are usually made up of metals. Each battery has a positive (cathode) and negative (anode) electrode. Batteries also contain another component called an electrolyte. The electrolyte is usually a liquid, gel, or paste, which contains the electrons. The cathode attracts electrons while the anode pushes them away, thus creating the electrical current. The ends of a battery are called terminals. Often times, several batteries are used together to increase the current or voltage. Voltage is a unit of measurement that represents how much elecWULFLW\ VRPHWKLQJ PD\ FUHDWH 7KH WHUP ZDV QDPHG DIWHU 0U 9ROWD 7RGD\ WKHUH DUH PDQ\ GLႇHUHQW VKDSHV DQG VL]HV WR EDWWHULHV LQ RUGHU IRU WKHP WR ¿W LQWR PDQ\ REMHFWV $ FRPPRQ KRXVHKROG EDWWHU\ VXFK DV RQH WKDW LV XVHG LQ D ÀDVKOLJKW LV FDOOHG D SULPDU\ EDWWHU\ $ SULPDU\ EDWWHU\ LV RQH WKDW cannot be recharged once it has been depleted of energy. More and more people are now buying rechargeable household batteries to conserve the Earth’s resources. Rechargeable batteries, which also include cell phone and car batteries, are called secondary batteries. A secondary battery is one that can be recharged with an electric current, for example, a power outlet.

WHICH ROBOT GETS CHARGED?
Step One: Take the copper wires and cut 3 pieces about 10 inches in length. With the 1st wire, wrap about 2 inches of wire around it. With the 2nd wire, do the same to a paper clip. With the 3rd wire, wrap about 2 inches around the last penny and at the other end, wrap another 2 inches around the last paperclip. Step Two: Take the 2 lemons and gently roll them around to loosen the pulp. (Be sure not to break the skin.) Have a grownup cut 2 small slits into the top of each lemon, large HQRXJK IRU WKH SHQQLHV DQG SDSHU FOLSV WR ÂżW LQWR Step Three: In the 1st lemon, place the penny attached to a wire in the left hole. In the 2nd lemon, place the paper clip attached to a wire in the right hole. Then take the last wire and place the paper clip into the right hole in the 1st lemon and the penny end in the last hole in the 2nd lemon. See the diagram to the left. Step Four: Take the loose ends of the wires and attach them to the light. Step Five: Once the wires are attached, a chemical reaction will occur and a few seconds later the lightbulb will become lit. If nothing happens, be sure that the loose wires are attached to the proper sides of the lightbulb. *This experiment can be used with potatoes, oranges, or limes, as well. If you do not have an LED lightbulb, a small digital clock will also work. Some lightbulbs may require more than two lemons.

Water runoff requests spark debate at commission work session By AMALIA KORTRIGHT Bureau Chief
Amalia Kortright / The Herald
Wetumpka resident Judy Robertson debates with commission chair Troy Stubbs about water runoff coming from county roads onto her property.
A Wetumpka woman made several requests of the Elmore County Commission concerning water runoff onto her property during an Oct. 9 work session. Judy Robertson, who resides on Pine Forest Drive, said her property has “suffered severely,” due to water runoff from her street and Jasmine Hill Road. Over the course of eight years, Elmore County Commission chair Troy Stubbs said they have been approached by Robertson multiple times
Wetumpka welcomes new children’s librarian
New children’s librarian Cathy Saylor took the position in late September. Since then, she has started book clubs for homeschooled students and is working on the library’s next summer reading program for kids.
By AMALIA KORTRIGHT Bureau Chief
The Wetumpka Public Library’s new children’s librarian Cathy Saylor said she’s learned something new each day since taking over after the retirement of Myrna Hays. “There was always a part of me that felt like it would be an amazing job to have,” Saylor said, describing the position as her dream job. “Everything is so fun.” As the children’s librarian, Saylor said her primary focus is to plan and manage children’s activities and events, including the weekly preschool story times, book clubs for homeschooled students and the summer reading program. In the future,
concerning the issue. During the work session, Robertson asked the commission to revise the drainage route on Jasmine Hill Road, open two driveway culverts on Pine Forest Drive, open one culvert at her driveway, ensure ditches are at the proper levels, remove the wire caging in front of her residence, remove a man-made “land disturbance” in a ditch in front of her residence and open a driveway culvert on Bush Hill Drive. Commission chair Troy Stubbs said they will continue to provide maintenance to all

Saylor said she hopes to incorporate local musicians and artists into the preschool story time. Saylor said the first program she’s overseen, the homeschool book clubs, have been successful so far. Currently, Saylor said she is also starting to plan the next summer reading program, which is centered around Alabama’s bicentennial. Because she handles a wide range of age groups
and reading levels, Saylor said she tries to meet them where they are. “The little kids are fun and curious. It’s fun to see the emerging readers grow from picture books to chapter books and then beyond,” Saylor said. “With the older readers, I enjoy that they’re reading chapter books and literature. I’m interested to talk with them about what they’re reading.” Prior to taking the position, Saylor worked at the library part-time for two years. Saylor also had the opportunity to help Hays with the last two summer reading programs. “I sort of got my feet wet by assisting Myrna for the last two summers,” Saylor said. Because she loves to travel, Saylor said she
views books as a way to explore different places. Saylor said she has had a lifelong love of the library since she was a child, and wants to share that with other children. “The library was home for me as a kid. My dad used to always say, ‘Books are your friends, take care of them,’ and that stuck with me,” Saylor said. “I hope I can help them find as much enjoyment of the library as I did.” Right now, Saylor said she is working to form lasting relationships with the children who come into the library and enjoys getting to know them. “I look forward to seeing them grow through the years, and develop as readers,” Saylor said.

county roadways. However, Stubbs said the commission does not perform maintenance on private property, and is unable to fulfill some of Robertson’s requests. In 2012, Donan Engineering, a third-party engineering firm, was brought in to evaluate the situation, and determined that the water runoff from the two roads did not directly cause the issues on Robertson’s property. Since 2012, Robertson said there have been numerous changes made concerning nearby county roadways, including three reworked intersections.
Depot Players taking the ‘The Diviners’ to competition By AMALIA KORTRIGHT Bureau Chief
Rehearsals are underway for the Wetumpka Depot Players production of “The Diviners,” which will take the stage Oct. 25. According to the play’s director, Kim Mason, the show is being produced in addition to the Depot’s regular season and will be used as the Depot’s competition piece in the Alabama Conference of Theater’s ACTFest in November. “The Diviners” is set in 1920’s Indiana, shortly before the beginning of the Great Depression, and tells the story of an unlikely friendship that blossoms between a mentally challenged young man and a disillusioned preacher. Mason said she “fell in love” with the “The Diviners” about two decades ago, when she had the opportunity to perform in the play in college. “I’d talked to (theater director) Kristy (Meanor) about it for years, and told her this is a project I wanted to do,” Mason said. “The characters made me fall in love with it, and the writing is just so lovely. I’ve never forgotten about the show.” In the past, Mason said the Depot has gone to numerous competitions in the past, all of which have been valuable learning experiences. “We just learn so much when we go. We get to see other theater companies,” Mason said. “The really important part is that we get to hear the adjudication. They tell us what was good about the show, what can be improved about the show and things for us to think about.” On numerous occasions, Mason said the Depot has won awards at competitions, even going as far as a national stage one year. Hopefully, Mason said they’ll do the same this year. “We’re pretty sure there’s some stiff competition, but we have high hopes,” Mason said. “If not, we’ll have produced something lovely and we’ll have learned quite a few things.” At 6:30 p.m. Oct. 25, the Kelly Fitzpatrick Memorial Gallery will host a private screening of “The Diviners,” along with a silent auction and a reception, as a fundraiser. Tickets cost $25, and can be purchased by calling The Kelly’s president, Carol Hickman, at 334-3915090. Additional performances will be held at 7:30 p.m. on Oct. 26 and at 2 p.m. on Oct. 28. Mason said tickets from these performances will help the Depot cover competition costs. “It’s important to support your local community theater, but it’s also to give us some good practice and to have a really good audience before we go off to competition,” Mason said.

Date reset for Holton trial By AMALIA KORTRIGHT Bureau Chief
The trial date of an Elmore County teenager who was indicted for the 2016 slaying of his father has been rescheduled for the third time. The trial of Jesse Madison Holton, 19, who currently lists an address on Highway 231 in Titus is set to begin at 8:30 a.m. on Oct. 22 under presiding judge Sibley Reynolds. Madison Holton’s trial was initially scheduled for March, and then reset for June. Madison Holton was initially arrested and charged with two counts of
murder by the Elmore County Sheriff’s office on Sept. 12, 2016, the day after he was said to have fatally shot his parents, Jesse Michael Holton and April Owenby Holton. At the time of his arrest, Holton listed an address on Lindsey Road in Eclectic. Michael Holton served as the mayor of Eclectic for two years, and stepped down from his position in 2014, citing family issues. At the time of the murders, April Holton had filed for divorce about a month earlier. Madison Holton was later indicted for the murder of his father, but an Elmore County grand jury dismissed his
charge for the murder of his mother. Elmore County Sheriff Bill Franklin said the ECSO received a call from Michael Holton at about 4 p.m. on Sept. 11, 2016, telling deputies that Madison Holton had thrown a party and “trashed” their house. Franklin said deputies arrived to find Michael Holton on the front yard and Madison Holton handcuffed on the couch inside, and discovered drug paraphernalia during a search of the house. Franklin said deputies received a call less than 30 minutes later, after Madison Holton went to a neighbor and
called police to return to the house. When authorities arrived at the Holton residence again, both of Madison Holton’s parents had been shot in the head. Michael Holton was found dead, and April Holton later died from her injuries in a Montgomery hospital. In earlier editions of The Herald, some of Madison Holton’s maternal relatives have maintained his innocence. April Holton’s brother and father, Michael Evans and Charles Owenby, have publicly stated that April Holton’s death was the result of a murdersuicide, in which Michael Holton shot his wife and then himself.
‘Bigger and bigger every year’ Alabama Cotton Festival in Eclectic draws thousands By AMALIA KORTRIGHT Bureau Chief
The 26th annual Alabama Cotton Festival attracted a record number of visitors and residents alike to the town of Eclectic on Saturday. Mayor Gary Davenport estimated that between 7,000 and 8,000 people flocked to Eclectic’s downtown area, making the turnout roughly seven times Eclectic’s population of 1,100. According to Davenport, the Cotton Festival is held each year to commemorate the town’s roots in the cotton industry. “That’s basically what built this town. We had cotton gins here and we had a train track run through here, where cotton came in and cotton came out,” Davenport said. “We do this to recognize everything that cotton did for this town.” For many, town council member Carmen Winslett said, the festival served as a social event. “I like seeing people come out and enjoy themselves and seeing people that they might not have seen in the last couple of months,” Winslett said. “It’s a fun thing to do in a small town that doesn’t see a lot of excitement.” The Cotton Festival featured live music, an antique car show, an art and photography contest, the Sweet Treats baking contest, the Cotton Run 5K, the 1-mile fun run, a dog show, a Kids Zone, the second annual Chicken Race and the annual Alabama Cotton Queen pageant. The 2018 Cotton Queen, Dallas Daughtry, is a senior at Goshen High School near Troy. Daughtry said her family is from Eclectic, and she’s excited to represent the town in the coming year. “My family has actually lived here since Eclectic was started. It’s kind of like a second home,” Daughtry said. The Cotton Festival concluded with a veteran art showcase, which was organized by Stanhope-Elmore High School art teacher Mindy Buckley. “We invited veterans to come to the school and paint with the high school students. (The veterans) chose the subject matter, so some of them are military themes, others are just whatever their personal preferences are,” Buckley said. “The veterans get the paintings back as a ‘thank you’ for their service.” Davenport said each of the activities are tailored to the requests of the festival-goers. “We basically talked to the citizens and talked to our visitors who come out on Cotton Festival day and asked them what they enjoy. This year, we’ve got phone calls when we started planning it. We have a meeting usually two or three months after the Cotton Festival to figure out what worked and what didn’t work and to get public input,” Davenport said. “This year, the things we have here are the things that the citizens said they wanted.” Assistant Town Clerk Elizabeth Geer said the festival also saw a record number of vendors from throughout the river region. “Some of them have been here for 26 years, and some have been here for 10 years, but we have a bunch of different ones that have not been here,” Geer said. Towards the end of the event, Geer said she had heard nothing but positive feedback from visitors. While Eclectic is a small town, Geer said the festival was proof of how much they can accomplish. “I’m on cloud nine right now,” Geer said. As far as she can remember, town council member Linda Reed said the weather has always been fair during the Cotton Festival. “We’ve never had rain. I don’t ever

remember being rained out,” Reed said. “We’re blessed. We had all these storms this week with two inches of rain, and then the weekend turned out to be beautiful.” Davenport said the Cotton Festival was made possible through the efforts of many volunteers, who he expressed his gratitude to. “People worked hard on this. It takes about six to eight months to plan and
put this together,” Davenport said. “If anybody’s interested in helping out next year, they just need to call town hall, and we’ll put them to work.” Tracy and Darrell Darnell, who recently moved to Eclectic, said their first Cotton Festival was an interesting experience. “Someone told me it would be nice to come to come to the Cotton Festival if you wanted something to do,” Tracy Darnell said. “This is the
most people we’ve seen in Eclectic since we’ve been here.” “It looks good, seeing the town together,” Darrell Darnell added. Longtime Eclectic resident Maggie Rowe said the festival is a yearly tradition for her and her family. “I’ve been coming literally since I was born. I was Cotton Queen when I was 5 years old,” Rowe said. “It just gets bigger and bigger every year.”

A LOT ON THE LINE
Regions set up for dramatic final week By CALEB TURRENTINE Sports Writer
As the regular season comes to an end, several regions around the state are far from settled with just one week to go in region play. In Class 6A Region 3, three teams can still win the region title as two other teams will play for the final playoff spot. Stanhope Elmore is the only remaining undefeated team in the region and the only team which controls its own destiny in the region but the Mustangs travel to Opelika this Friday. The Bulldogs will also be playing for a chance at the region title but will likely need outside help. Wetumpka, who was the top-ranked team in 6A for six weeks, will need Opelika to beat Stanhope to have a chance at its second consecutive region championship. First, the Indians will have to get a win at Selma. If Wetumpka falls Friday night, the winner of the Opelika-Stanhope Elmore game will be the region champion. If Opelika pulls off the win against Stanhope and Wetumpka defeats Selma, the region would have a three-way tie on top which could not be broken by the head-to-head tiebreaker. Because all three teams have beaten the same teams in region, it would come down to wins against non-region teams. However, since Opelika will finish the regular season with just four total non-region games and nine total games, those tiebreakers will not apply. If it finishes in the three-way tie, this region will come down to “Tie-Breaking Procedure n” which state the team whose defeated opponents have the most victories. Because of the non-region struggles of Opelika and Stanhope, Wetumpka would walk away with the region title. Once the top spot is determined, the Nos. 2 and 3 seeds will be separated by the head-to-head See REGION • Page B4

Mustangs battle with Opelika for chance at region title By CALEB TURRENTINE Sports Writer
Stanhope Elmore was projected to be fighting for a playoff spot in the final week of region play this season. Instead, the Mustangs enter their game against Opelika as the Class 6A Region 3 leaders and have a chance to close out their first region championship since 2004. “Everybody is fired up and ready to go,” Stanhope coach Brian
Bradford. “This was one of our goals so everyone is just ready to get to Friday.” The Mustangs (5-3, 4-0) have had a roller coaster of a season but they have managed to stay unbeaten in region play. Stanhope has used strong defensive performances to carry it this far, allowing 15 points per game against region opponents. Opelika (3-4, 3-1) has also shaken off its non-region losses to put itself in contention for the region title.
The Bulldogs have the best scoring defense in the region, allowing 12.3 points per game during region play. Even with a struggling overall record, Bradford said Opelika cannot disguise how good of a team it is. “Everyone knows Opelika,” Bradford said. “They’re one of the best teams in the state every year. They’ve got it going now so they’re going to be tough for anyone to play. No one even cares about the record See MUSTANGS • Page B4
Indians prep for playoffs with final region game By CALEB TURRENTINE Sports Writer
Although Wetumpka can still reign supreme in Class 6A Region 3, it doesn’t control its own fate as the region title will be decided in Opelika. So the Indians are keeping their focus on this week’s game against Selma, where a victory would ensure a home playoff game. “We want to approach this game like it is a playoff game,” Wetumpka coach Tim Perry said. “We want to get in the mindset of having to go on the road to play a playoff game. We didn’t want to just approach this as a region game but also as a playoff game. So, we want to take that mentality to it so it carries a little bit more weight.” Wetumpka still has a chance to finish the season as region champions but it will need Opelika to defeat Stanhope
“The best thing we can do for ourselves is to take care of business on Friday and give ourselves the opportunity to put ourselves in the region championship race.” — Tim Perry Wetumpka football coach Elmore this week. However, Perry said the team wants to keep its eyes on Selma on Friday night before worrying about another game. “The best thing we can do for ourselves is to take care of business on Friday and give ourselves the opportunity to put ourselves in the region
championship race,” Perry said. “Then let whatever happens happen.” Selma enters Friday night’s game winless in region play and on a six-game losing streak. After opening the season with a 40-point victory, the Saints were brought down by a 66-6 loss at Opelika See INDIANS • Page B4

Despite a lot of basketball players still competing in football, several area teams began practices on Monday.
Monday marked the official start of the season for winter sports and that meant some players made their way to the basketball court for the first practice of the year. However, with at least a month to go before games begin, some teams had to deal with missing players as fall sports wrap up and had to delay the start of practice. “The good part about it is everyone having to wait,” Stanhope Elmore coach Terry Hardy said. “It was still just good to get in and get started.” The Mustangs had only three of their 10 varsity players at the first practice. Hardy said the practice was mostly for the See HOOPS • Page B3

Wetumpka has seen numerous players make key contributions during its 7-1 start to the season. Senior Kamyron Jackson has been one of the forces on a star-studded defense for Wetumpka. “It’s a great feeling knowing there’s someone there to have your back,” Jackson said. “Knowing I have teammates that push me even when I’m tired and that can make the play when I can’t.” Jackson is in his third year on the varsity team and his second season starting as the defensive tackle.

After Eli Manning and the New York Giants were absolutely demolished by a Philadelphia Eagles team that isn’t exactly looking like the defending Super Bowl champions, the question of when the Giants will part ways will Manning has become the fodder of talking heads and columnists all over. So, I’ll take my stab at it. I’m a big Eli Manning fan, to be honest. Having to come after brother Peyton Manning and live up to the hype of father Archie Manning, nothing about Eli’s path to success was easy. While people say opportunities are given to those with connections — and yes, that is true — in Eli’s case, he had to know he was getting into a lifetime of, “But is he as good as Peyton?” It’s really hard to compare the Manning brothers. Eli has won two Super Bowls while it took Peyton his whole career to match that total, but Peyton was named the league’s MVP an incredible five times — more than any player in the history of the NFL — and Eli never earned the honor. Statistically, it’s difficult to compare because Peyton played from 1998 to 2015, while Eli has been playing since only 2004, so his big brother has a few years on Eli. But Peyton does lead in career completion percentage, passing yards and touchdowns, rushing yards and touchdowns, according to Sports Reference. Eli does have fewer interceptions, but not by much considering the number of years they’ve both played. Either way, regardless of how Eli compares to Peyton, he’s still a fine quarterback. He’s been a staple for the Giants for years, led them to a pair of Super Bowls and has been a fantasy football players’ dream. Confession: The only reason the Eli Manning debate interests me is because Drew Brees was on a bye so I had to use Eli as my starter Thursday night and already my prospects for winning this week are not looking good. Eli finished with 10.24 points on Yahoo. For a fantasy football quarterback, that’s embarrassing. I have kickers who do better than that. Anyway, back to the point. Eli Manning has done wonders for the Giants. He started in 210 consecutive regular season games up until last season, and no matter what you say about a player, if he’s getting more than 13 years worth of starts, he’s doing something right. Back before the 2017 season, Eli said he planned to play until he was 40. That gave him four more years in a Giants uniform. New York must have believed in him, as it extended his contract until 2019. But with Manning’s dismal start to the year, it’s time for the Giants to part ways. Not only is New York 1-5 to start the season, but Manning’s numbers speak for themselves. He’s hit the 300 passing yard mark only once this season, and he’s thrown four interceptions compared to just six touchdowns. His completion percentage has gotten progressively and exponentially worse since the Giants’ game against Houston — their only win of the year. Now, this is not to say it’s all Manning’s fault. The Giants were smart in drafting Saquon Barkley in the spring rather than a quarterback because even a young, spry QB wouldn’t be able to do much behind New York’s offensive line. The Giants defense is also giving up a ridiculous amount of points. But in the NFL, when your team isn’t successful, you’re usually looking at getting rid of your coach or your quarterback. As Pat Shurmur is in his first year, it makes sense to give him a little time. But with the fine crop of quarterbacks that’ll be ready for next year’s draft, it’s time for the Giants to start planning their exit strategy from the Eli Manning era.

Bulldogs return home with playoff hopes By CALEB TURRENTINE Sports Writer
After last week’s loss to Leeds, Holtville found itself in a must-win position this week. The Bulldogs return to Boykin Field on Friday night to face Talladega and need a victory to remain in the hunt for a playoff position. “If you’re ever going to get over the hump, this is the time,” Holtville coach Jason Franklin said. “We missed a great opportunity the other night and now you have to come back refocused and take care of business this week to give yourself of shot.” Holtville (4-3, 2-3 Class 4A Region 4) can help cause chaos in the region with a victory on Friday. The win would set up a handful of potential ties with team’s sitting at .500 in region play. However, Franklin said the Bulldogs cannot take the time to worry about what is happening everywhere else now. “We have to focus on what we can do this week and control what we can control,” Franklin said. The Bulldogs return home this week where they are 3-0 this season, including a victory over region leader Lincoln. Holtville has outscored its opponents by 15 points per game at Boykin Field. “Our home crowd has been great,” Franklin said. “We’ve been good at home. I don’t know if they have ever finished undefeated at home but they can push forward

to that and keep that streak going at home. So that’s big for us.” Talladega (4-3, 3-1) is just one of two teams in the region with a road win in region play this season. The Tigers are coming off a bye week after defeating Leeds 50-7 the prior week. In the team’s three region victories, Talladega has averaged 46 points per game. In the win over Leeds, quarterback Nigel Scales threw for 144 yards and four touchdowns. JQ Wilson has
Holtville’s defense has shut out two offenses this season but the team’s success rides on the offense. Franklin said the team wants to throw the ball but if the rushing attack has success, that will be the offensive focus for the night. “We want to go fast and we want to run a lot of plays but we want them to be quality plays,” Franklin said. “We want to tire them out and make them run to cover the whole field. Whatever is working, that’s what we’re going to do.”
three of those touchdowns and added an interception for a touchdown on the defensive side of the ball. Michael McGregor had a receiving touchdown and a rushing touchdown in the victory. Holtville quarterback Braxton Buck will lead the offense in a game which is expected to be a shootout. In four wins this season, the Bulldogs have scored 33.8 points per game. However, in the team’s losses, Holtville has averaged only 21 points per game.

“I was just trying to make a big play right off the bat,” Levett said. “Coach wanted us to start off quick.” Levett finished the game with 22 total offensive plays recorded: 11 pass attempts and 11 rush attempts. On those 22 plays, the Tigers averaged 17.3 yards. Levett’s big play ability and consistent play have helped Tallassee find an offensive rhythm this season. Battles, a 22-year coaching veteran, said players with Levett’s skill and mindset make things easier on the coaches. Battles compared Levett to Zac Stacy, a former player of Battles at Bibb County, who went on to play for the St. Louis Rams in the NFL. “(Stacy) could do everything,” Battles said. “Kalvin is a lot like him because he can do so much. He’s just one of those athletes that doesn’t come around often.” Levett said having big performances is a great feeling but he is looking for more improvement as the regular season ends. “I just want to continue to get better,” Levett said. “Teams are going to get harder in the playoffs so we have to be ready.”

NATION’S NO. 1:
Edgewood volleyball earns national honor as postseason gets closer
By CALEB TURRENTINE Sports Writer
Postseason volleyball is just around the corner and Edgewood looks to be the favorite to win the AISAAA state championship. The Wildcats are 21-0 this season and have not dropped a set since a match with Macon-East on Sept. 11. After the team’s winning streak reached 12 games to start the season, the National Athletic Association of Private Schools ranked the Wildcats No. 1 in the country. “It’s great for the girls and nice to be recognized for what you’ve accomplished,” Edgewood coach Sellers Dubberley said. Dubberley admitted it can make things tougher to finish out the season but he believes his team will not get complacent. He said he will be the first one to celebrate the recognition if the Wildcats hold on to the top spot when the season ends but until then, the team should focus on the matches remaining in the season. “Sometimes it’s harder to play with that target on your back,” Dubberley said. “No one will lie down for you. There are already a lot of teams that want to beat our team and that’s just going to

to a third consecutive state championship is still unclear but Dubberley said Edgewood is feeling confident no matter who it has to play. “As long as we’re playing our best volleyball, it doesn’t matter,” Dubberley said. “You just have to beat whoever is in
front of you.” Some of Edgewood’s toughest opponents will likely be standing in the way of its postseason run. Glenwood and Lee-Scott are two of the three teams which have taken a set against Edgewood this season. Both of those teams could face
Edgewood in the postseason. “Those are teams that could absolutely beat us at any given time,” Dubberley said. “They are very talented and really well-coached. Any one of them would give us a great game.” Dubberley also mentioned Macon-East and Northside as teams which could meet the Wildcats in the final. MaconEast defeated Edgewood in a single set match during a preseason tournament and was the last team to take a set in a match against the Wildcats. The Wildcats are focusing on consistency at this point in the season, according to Dubberley. He said the week leading up to the postseason will be about finding a balance between resting starters and staying mentally and physically sharp. Dubberley has been impressed with his team but he still believes there is improvement to be made. “It says a lot that we haven’t played our best volleyball yet,” Dubberley said. “I know we haven’t played our best but we’ve still been able to beat really great teams.” Edgewood will host the region tournament next week with the final four teams remaining advancing to the Elite 8 Tournament on Oct. 29.

Wildcats face Autauga in region showdown By CALEB TURRENTINE Sports Writer
After starting 4-0 in region play, Edgewood has put itself in position to play for an AA Region 1 title this week. Unfortunately for the Wildcats, the state’s top-ranked team stands in the way Thursday night. No. 1 Autauga is currently on
a six-game winning streak and will be looking to win its third straight region championship. “It’ll be a short week and we have a huge task ahead of us,” Edgewood coach Darryl Free said. “They’re an extremely talented team. We need to go out, get as good as we can this week and go out to play Thursday night and see
what happens.” Edgewood (6-2, 4-0) is coming off a quality win against Lakeside but Autauga is playing on a level the Wildcats have not seen this season. Despite what is at stake, Free said the team has not been focused on just winning the region title this week. See EDGEWOOD • Page B10
Hoops freshmen and junior varsity players as the team worked on fundamentals. Hardy said the team focused on things like running and ball handling to get into basketball shape. Stanhope’s football team is looking for a deep run in the playoffs but the basketball will not get started with games until a tournament in late November. Hardy said the Mustangs will continue to focus on the fundamentals and communication before implementing game plan when the whole team is available. Holtville is dealing with the same issues as only three varsity basketball players are not also on the football team. Coach Michael Collins used Monday for tryouts for new students which was mostly freshmen. Collins said the Bulldogs use the first weeks of practice to work toward the future as they can focus on some of the younger players.

finalized, Collins said the coaches have to break down the roster to see what they can do with what they have. Tallassee had both teams return to the court to start the season. And even with the missing players, the excitement has started to build. “There’s a lot of excitement coming off the area championship,” Tallassee coach Keiven Mixson said. “It makes it tough having to prepare for the first six or eight games
without the football players but I think it makes you better.” The Tigers won eight of their final nine games last season and finished 14-12 before losing just three seniors from last year’s squad. However, Tallassee was missing three players who will be with the football team until the end of the season. Mixson said the team is focusing on fundamentals as the Tigers start their practice shorthanded. Tallassee still
had 11 players at its first practice as the team works through defense and fast break drills before starting to put in the game plan and set plays. The Tallassee girls team had to deal with some missing players of its own but new coach Terrel Brown said it was important to get out for practice. “It was great to finally have the team out on the court,” Brown said. “We had nine girls at the first practice and three more playing volleyball.” Brown said he uses the first week of practice to work on fundamentals and conditioning to get the team into game shape. The Tigers are expected to play a fast pace game which includes a full-court press and Brown said they’re going to need every girl on the roster. The Tigers begin the season with a road trip to Auburn and Brown said the team is already showing excitement for the challenge. “What a way to welcome me back to coaching,” Brown said. “But the girls have shown no fear and that gets me excited to coach a team that is not afraid.”

make sure he and his teammates leave a mark at Wetumpka during his final season. “This is the last time we’ll play together,” Jackson said. “So, we have to do everything you can to make it better.” Jackson is a part of a strong defensive line which includes Ole Miss commit P.J. Lucas and JaCorey Murphy. Jackson said the strongest part of his game this season is stopping the run. In eight games this season, Jackson has 18 total tackles and 8.5 tackles for a loss. His biggest game of the season came against Buckhorn’s triple option offense when Jackson finished with 4.5 tackles including 2.5 for a loss and one sack. On the offensive side of the ball, Jackson takes on the opposite role. He enters in Wetumpka’s heavy set and is used as one of the lead blockers for the rushing attack. He has been used as a blocker on four rushing touchdowns this season. “If we need that 1 yard, we’re getting it,” Jackson said. “It’s unstoppable.” Jackson said he wants to continue his football career but is still waiting for collegiate offers. He’s focusing on showing more effort on the field while trying to raise his testing scores. If he is can raise his ACT score, Jackson said he would want to walk on at Auburn to play football.

because it’s Opelika and everyone knows that.” The Bulldogs have had consistent success on the offensive side of the ball as well. They lead the region with 153 total points in region play, scoring at least 28 points in all four region games. Running back Brantan Barnett leads the way for Opelika’s offense. Barnett has rushed for at least 100 yards in six of the team’s seven games and 11 touchdowns this season. Stanhope’s defense will focus in on slowing Barnett down but Bradford knows that is easier said than done. “We’ve done a pretty good job every week of doing that but he’s a great player,” Bradford said. “We have to use the same approach we did against the Wetumpka quarterback which was about limiting the big plays and keep him contained as long as we can. He’s going to be one of the better guys we’ve faced though so it’s going to be tough.” Stanhope will need a lot of help from its defense in order to keep up with Opelika’s offense. The Mustangs have surpassed 30 points in each of the last two games but it came with the help of three defensive touchdowns. Bradford said the offense is still capable of putting up points when its playing at its best. “Just have to do what we do and eliminate the mistakes,” Bradford said. “The better we execute, the

With a playoff spot already secured, Bradford said Stanhope is focused on finding ways to improve before the postseason begins. “We just want to focus on ourselves,” Bradford said. “We don’t really care what everyone else does, we just have to eliminate mistakes and get better at fundamentals every week.”

and the team appears to have never fully recovered from the defeat. In the last five weeks, Selma has five losses by an average of 10.6 points per game. The Saints have given up 26.2 points per game in that span, allowing 20 points or more in every game. Despite the team’s struggles, Perry said this week will be a challenging week for Wetumpka. Selma coach Chris Raymond spent four years on Perry’s staff at Wetumpka before taking the job at Selma. “We know he knows how to prepare a team to win,” Perry said. “We know we have to play a complete game to have a chance to win.” Selma’s biggest strength may come in the trenches, where it has eight linemen weighing 250 pounds or more. “They’re offensive and defensive line may be the biggest we have faced this season based on physical size,” Perry said. “They have great team speed and tremendous athleticism. So, with that size and speed, the present a challenge. Wetumpka will look to bounce back on the offensive side of the football this week. After averaging 36.5 points per game in the first four games of the season, Wetumpka has been held under 30 points in three of the last four weeks. “We need to get back to where we were consistently,” Perry said. “I think a

lot of that has to do with teams giving us different looks. We just have to be more consistent on finishing drives. We’ve stopped ourselves with mistakes and penalties so we have to correct that to get back to get more consistent offensively.”
Perry said he has been impressed with the improvements on the defensive side of the football. Wetumpka has allowed only seven offensive touchdowns over the last four weeks, lowering its defensive scoring average to 18 points per game this season.

Students who love the outdoors and plan to continue their education after graduation will have a new option for a college degree rooted in the outdoors at Auburn University in 2019. The undergraduate degree will be in Wildlife Enterprise Management with training in wildlife sciences, business and hospitality. Auburn professors Steve Ditchkoff and Mark Smith collaborated on developing the major in an effort to fill a need in the outdoors community that doesn’t require a wildlife biologist degree. Heather Crozier, Director of Development at the Auburn School of Forestry and Wildlife Sciences unveiled the program to outdoor writers recently at the Southeastern Outdoor Press Association Conference in Florence, S.C. Outdoor recreation generates about a $14 billion impact on the Alabama economy and about $887 billion nationwide. Outdoors-related businesses and companies support 135,000 jobs in Alabama. “Our faculty did some surveys, and they found that in a 250-mile radius of Auburn that there are 1,000 businesses that are wildlife enterprise-related,” Crozier said. “This major will give us a unique skillset for that industry. The students will also get a minor in business so they will understand basic business principals.”
Submitted / Auburn Deer Lab
Auburn University’s Deer Lab studies white-tailed deer genetics and physiology.
Crozier said the new degree program will utilize the facilities connected to Auburn. The Deer Lab is a 400-plus-acre facility near Auburn at Camp Hill where researchers study the genetics and physiology of white-tailed deer. The Solon Dixon Forestry Education Center near Andalusia gives students hands-on instruction in forestry, wildlife and natural resources management. The Kreher Preserve and Nature Center on the outskirts of Auburn provides an outdoors venue for a variety of nature programs. Crozier said only one other college, Kansas State, offers a similar degree with about 100 students in that program annually. “When our students graduate with a Wildlife Enterprise Management degree, we hope they will apply the principles of wildlife enterprise, understand and
apply the ecological principles in conservation biology and eco-tourism and be a wellrounded student in hospitality and understand customer service in food and beverage production and lodging,” Crozier said. “They will have the skillset to be able to run a business as well as be able to effectively market and advertise the wildlife- and outdoor-based enterprise.” This curriculum will have a wildlife core with about 60 percent of the courses in wildlife sciences and about 40 percent in business and hospitality. “Most of our students who go to work for fish and wildlife departments are wildlife sciences majors and end up being wildlife biologists,” Crozier said. “The students in the new program will not be wildlife biologists.” Crozier said the graduates
in the new degree can pursue jobs at hunting lodges, shooting facilities, fishing resorts as well as guide services and outdoor sport/ adventure promotions. “Dr. Ditchkoff and Dr. Smith were talking with people in the industry, and they kept hearing, ‘We need students who understand business, who understand customer expectations and who know about wildlife,’” she said. “What they learned was several of the outfitters they talked to were going to colleges and universities and recruiting wildlife students and teaching them about hospitality and business. Or, they were recruiting hospitality and business students and teaching them about wildlife. The industry said it would really be nice if you could develop this specific product. We feel like there is a market for it.” Pam Swanner of Alabama Black Belt Adventures agrees wholeheartedly. “The Black Belt region has a rich history in the traditions of hunting and fishing,” Swanner said. “It’s a natural fit that Auburn would create a unique degree program to provide a skilled workforce trained in land management, business and hospitality. At Auburn’s back door are more than 50 outfitters that can provide opportunities for student internships. “Alabama Black Belt Adventures is partnering with AU’s School of Forestry and Wildlife Sciences to assist in organizing internship placement in the Black Belt region. We’re also introducing the faculty to
the industry’s many product companies and other organizations that have an interest in supporting such a worthwhile program with scholarship funds to ensure a prosperous future for our industry.” Crozier said if you venture outside that 250-mile radius, the possibilities become considerably greater. She said 40 students currently enrolled at Auburn are waiting to pursue the new degree, and she expects the program will eventually graduate between 100 and 150 annually. “Just think about international,” she said. “It’s amazing how many opportunities are out there. We expect these students to not only go to work for hunting lodges, fishing lodges and shooting facilities, but also do safaris in Africa, outdoor adventures anywhere in the world or become representatives for outdoors companies. This is an extremely broad major that does not limit our students to a specific area. “We’re expecting the demand for this major to blossom and really increase.” Crozier said an internship is not a part of the curriculum, but it is highly suggested so the students who go into this major will get some industry experience. “Dr. Ditchkoff and Dr. Smith are putting together a list of industry contacts who are looking for interns,” she said. “It will be up to the student to go find their internship. If we have a company or business that wants to interview students, we will provide a place to do that and line the students up to interview.”

Reaching more than 22,000 households in Tallapoosa and Elmore counties The Dadeville Record
PUZZLES & HOROSCOPE ARIES (March 21-April 19) You seem to go where the unexpected occurs. Use caution with any Ă„nancial decisions. Do not overthink an oɈer at the moment. You might need to lessen your load rather than take on more responsibilities. Consider this possibility, and you’ll begin to mellow out. Tonight: Out late. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Your determination could be met by someone else’s stubbornness. It might be easier and more eɉcient to go along with this person’s wishes, unless you Ă„nd his or her ideas impossible. Your response is likely to surprise many people. Tonight: Could go until the wee hours. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Reach out to someone who helps you see the big picture. You could be taken aback by what you see when you let go of being right. Armed with more understanding, you can Ă„nd a midpoint of agreement between yourself and others. Tonight: Make it OK to be self-indulgent. CANCER (June 21-July 22) Come to an agreement with others. You will see a situation much diɈerently if you can walk away from your position. A meeting could surprise you with its agenda. The topic might not feel as on-target as you might like. Flow with the moment. Tonight: Make time for a friend. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You could feel as if you are being pulled in diɈerent directions. You might Ă„nd that you enjoy yourself more and become less and less invested in what you see as problems. Consider being less available to diɉcult people. Tonight: Accept an appealing invitation to a party. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Reach out to a loved one at a distance who understands you well. This person’s comments could open you up to another perspective. Caring evolves as others witness your attempt to understand where they are coming from. Open up to a possible change. Tonight: Exercise Ă„rst. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
You could be confused by someone with whom you felt you had a steady agreement. Suddenly uproar occurs. You can do very little to return to what was, nor should you want to. Release what is frivolous or unneeded, and proceed. Tonight: Time for some fun and games. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You might Ă„nd that a friend suddenly becomes unstable. Do not wonder what is needed. Let go, and allow this person to be who he or she is. Sometimes everyone needs to break free of constraints -- self-imposed or otherwise. Express understanding. Tonight: Head home early. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Open up to a new idea that could invigorate your life and make it much more exciting. At Ă„rst this possibility could shake you up. The more you think about it, the more enthusiastic you become. Do not push another person away. Tonight: Invite a favorite person to join you. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) A child or new friend topples your sense of well-being with his or her unpredictability. Rather than react, take a hard look at what is occurring and let go of the unneeded. Sometimes diɉculties stem from too much to do and from being overwhelmed. Tonight: Pay bills Ă„rst. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You feel diɈerently than you have in a while. A shake-up, while upsetting, frees you up to do what you really want. If you are not sure of your true desires, take some time to re-evaluate. Encourage simpliĂ„cation. Tonight: Surround yourself with people you value and trust. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You make an eɈort by reaching out to others. Though everyone might not respond, you could hear news that is likely to shock you. Relax and allow the situation to unfold naturally; soon you will realize what is motivating or triggering it. Tonight: Get a good night’s sleep.

Win or lose, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve accomplished a lot of our goals and we still have a lot of things ahead of us.â&#x20AC;? Autauga (6-1, 4-0) is looking for its third consecutive trip to the state title game. This is the programâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second year under coach Bobby Carr, who led Edgewood to six straight state championships before leaving after the 2015 season. In the latest national rankings by the National Athletic Association of Private Schools, Autauga is ranked No. 1 in the country entering this week. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bobby has done a great job over there,â&#x20AC;? Free said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great football coach and heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s continued to have success. But to me, it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t add anything to the game, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just something that happens in high school football.

This season, Autauga has outscored its opponents by 34.6 points per game. The teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only loss was a 16-6 defeat to North Florida Christian in the second week of the season. In Autaugaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s four region wins, the Generals have allowed only seven total points, outscoring their opponents by 51 points per game. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The first thing that jumps off the film is they have skill at every position,â&#x20AC;?

The senior has completed 67.5 percent of his passes this season and has thrown for 1,756 yards and 26 touchdowns to nine different receivers. Carr is also the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s third leading rusher with 309 yards and three touchdowns. Wide receiver Kendrick Rogers, who has offers from Troy and South Alabama, has 24 catches for 693 yards and eight touchdowns.

Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not going to change up what weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve done because weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had success with it.â&#x20AC;? No matter what happens in Thursday nightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game, Edgewood will be one of the final eight AISAAA teams remaining this season and the Wildcats will get at least one home postseason game. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to continue to focus on us in practice and try to tighten up some areas that we feel like can get better at,â&#x20AC;?
