Haunted house raises funds for local children By AMALIA KORTRIGHT Bureau Chief
While Halloween can be a scary time for some, the idea of children going without presents during the holidays is a lot scarier for a local motorcycle group. Last Friday and Saturday, the Nasty Feet Riding Club held its third annual haunted house event to raise money for the Brantwood Children’s Home in Montgomery. “We’re all very fortunate to have our families,” member Wes Abrams said. “We’re so blessed, and we wanted to pass those blessings on.” According to Abrams, members Thomas “PopPop” and Pinky Burnett were instrumental in organizing the event and donated their barn to be used as the haunted house. “Our club owes (the Burnetts) a lot of appreciation,” Abrams said. “They went above and beyond.” Abrams said planning for the event began in July, and See HAUNTED • Page A2

The Wetumpka Police Department promoted several officers during a Thursday ceremony at city hall. Chief Greg Benton said the eight officers who were promoted or recognized had to go through a testing procedure before they moved up in the ranks. “That means that they studied quite a bit and did well on the test,” Benton said. “They wanted to be something more than they were. I’m very happy for them.” Through the promotions, Benton said the department has been able to fill several vacant positions. “We had a lot of police officers, but not many ranks. This filled in those gaps where supervisors needed to be,” Benton said. “We only had one lieutenant in the whole department, and he ran all the patrol, which was 20 people. We promoted

the club began working on gathering materials and renovating the barn in August. Many members or friends of members provided props and decorations and volunteered as actors. Dozens of people attended, and Abrams said they were able to raise several hundred dollars. Abrams said previous events hosted by the Nasty Feet Riding Club have benefitted local families in need. This year, Abrams said the club chose to donate the proceeds to Brantwood because of their personal connection to the home. “We have some friends that have benefitted from donations to Brantwood when they were children,” Abrams said. While he is unsure whether they will be buying toys or shoes and clothes for the children, Abrams said they will receive more than just school supplies and toiletries. “We’re going to get the kids something they’ll really appreciate, not just the pencils and paper they usually get,” Abrams said.
While domestic violence is not as prevalent in Wetumpka as in other places, police chief Greg Benton said one incident is too many. “I don’t really notice that many domestic violence cases, but just because it’s not reported doesn’t mean it doesn’t happen,” Benton said. “It’s something that goes unreported a lot, because they’re afraid to call law enforcement.” According to Benton, domestic violence is not just physical abuse. Sometimes, Benton said verbal, psychological, financial and sexual abuse come into play. Oftentimes, Benton and assistant chief Ed Reeves said they have seen how domestic violence can be cyclical. “We can put someone in jail, get them treatment and offer them all these resources, and they still go right back,” Reeves said. “One month later, we’re back at the same house answering the same call.” Earlier this month, Wetumpka police answered a call about a domestic violence incident that turned into a homicide, the worst possible outcome of domestic violence. “Usually, this is an ongoing problem that has occurred over months and years,” Benton said. “One spouse or the other lives in fear. They’re fearful of calling the police and they’re fearful to leave.” When police receive a domestic violence call, Benton said they are mandated to make an arrest if there is evidence of a struggle and they have identified an aggressor. While there aren’t any domestic violence shelters in Elmore County, Benton said police typically refer survivors to the Family

Sunshine Center in Montgomery. “You don’t need to live in fear, because there are places that can help, and we will be glad to assist in any way we can,” Benton said Reeves encouraged friends and family members who believe someone may be in an abusive situation to stay alert and intervene if necessary. “It’s important for family members to pay attention. Nine times out of 10, (the victims) are scared. They don’t want to ask anybody for help, because they’re scared of what (their abuser) will do to them,” Reeves said. “A family member can determine how they act or maybe tell if something’s not quite right. If we don’t know the person and we’re not around them every day, we can’t recognize it. But a family member could.”

Inaugural Artist Market set for Nov. 17 By AMALIA KORTRIGHT Bureau Chief
Submitted / The Herald
The 26th annual Alabama Frontier Days will portray the daily lives of the state’s early settlers through reenactments and demonstrations.
Frontier Days returning to Fort Toulouse visitors will have the opportunity to learn about the daily lives of some of Alabama’s earliest settlers through reenactments, demonstrations and live entertainment. “This snapshot of frontier life includes Creek Indians, French soldiers and their families, British traders who lived among the Creeks and American soldiers who fought in Andrew Jackson’s army during the Creek war,” Jensen said. “Additionally, there will be a cannon demonstration and period entertainment.” Jensen said the program was initially started by staff 23 years ago for schoolchildren as part of an initiative

The annual Alabama Frontier Days are slated for Nov. 7 through Nov. 10 between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. at Fort Toulouse - Fort Jackson Park. According to park director Ove Jensen, Frontier Days is one of the state’s most prominent interactive history events. “Frontier Days bring history to life and helps us connect to our state’s past,” Jensen said. “Visitors see the south as it transitioned from Creek Indian lands to military forts and civilian homesteads from 1700 to 1820.” Throughout the event, Jensen said

by the Alabama Historical Commission. Since then, Jensen said it has grown exponentially. “Over the years, the event has gained popularity with a broader audience,” Jensen said. “Each year, volunteers, demonstrators and school groups come from all over the state and region to experience one of the largest and most authentic living history events in Alabama.” Admission is $8 for adults, $7 for children 6 and older and free for children under 6. More information about Alabama Frontier Days can be found online at the “Fort Toulouse Fort Jackson Park” Facebook page.
The Kelly Fitzpatrick Memorial Gallery is gearing up to host its inaugural Artist Market on the first floor of the Wetumpka Administration Building Nov. 17. According to the Kelly’s president, Carol Hickman, “top quality” items will be sold by almost 20 local artists. “Each artist will have a lot of different things. We’ve got someone who crochets and knits, we’ve got someone who’s a quilter, lots of jewelry and lots of artists with canvases,” Hickman said. “We asked our artists to do what they do.” Because of when the Artist Market is scheduled, Hickman said it would be the perfect opportunity for community members to shop for Christmas gifts. The market is open to everyone, Hickman said “All of it will be good art,” Hickman said. “We want to have lower, medium and higher priced items for everybody. Not everybody can afford a $1,000 painting, but some can.” Additionally, Hickman said art made from wooden boards recovered from the former Little Sam’s Cafe location, which is currently undergoing renovations to make way for the opening of the Coosa Cleaver. “It was an iconic restaurant in Wetumpka for years and years,” Hickman said. Because the Artist Market is a fundraiser, Hickman said a percentage of every items sold will benefit the Kelly. While they do not have a set fundraising goal, Hickman said she hopes the event attracts as many people as possible. “We hope we have hundreds and hundreds of people,” Hickman said. “But with this being the first time, we’re not sure what to expect.”

I
I love my state
had to go to town one day last week to run some errands. Before heading back, Lucy asked me to stop by and pick her up a hippy pizza. Seriously, if it’s not loaded with sausage, pepperoni, and cheese – lots of cheese – it’s a hippy pizza in my book. I had leftover BBQ from a gig the night before. That gig was for the “Dream Team” celebration at Journey Church in Eva, Alabama. Yep, Eva, Alabama. That’s when you know you’ve made it in this business. Eva is a wonderful little community north of Birmingham. I really had a great time and was blessed to be with such a devoted group of people. They asked if I wanted to take home a plate. Of course, I did. It was a no-brainer. They actually prepared three full to-go boxes for me. One was filled with smoked chicken and the other two were jampacked with mac-n-cheese and baked beans. It was so much that I’m still eating on it. Oh, there was a fourth box, too. Cupcakes. They are gone. All of them. There are so many neat little communities all over our great state similar to Eva. On the surface, many of them are just a church or two, a four-way stop and a Dollar General, but they are so much more. They are quaint, tight-knit communities with a love for life, the land and for the Lord. I’ve been fortunate to go run my mouth in a lot of them. I love our state, which is why it was such an honor to be selected by Alabama Magazine as one of the “top
JODY FULLER Columnist 40 men and women over the age of 40 whose lives and careers are characterized by great levels of giving and achievement.” For me to have been chosen, they likely only had about thirty some-odd submissions, but the list was quite impressive. Nick Saban even made it. While waiting on my pizza, I decided to walk around Winn-Dixie with Abigail in my arms. I like to show her off when I can. She’s my baby and I’m super proud of her. I used to go to Winn-Dixie twice a day. We lived rather close. It seemed that I saw Mrs. Buda, my fourth-grade teacher, just about every time I went. I wondered if I’d see her. She always comments on Abby’s pictures on Facebook. While roaming the store, I figured I’d check the magazine rack to see if the November/ December issue of Alabama Magazine had hit the shelves. Much to my delight, it had. I quickly turned the pages to see my ugly mug amongst Lieutenant General Anthony Cotton of Maxwell AFB and country music singer Sarah Evans. I picked it up and showed it to a friend I saw in the store. I was excited. I wanted to show it off, so I bought it. The cashier stuck it in a bag. I then proceeded over to pick up the hippy pizza.
After paying for the Florentine pizza, I walked out the door and quickly realized I’d misplaced my all-important magazine. What in the world did I do with it. I looked on the ground, but it was nowhere to be found. I went back inside. I assumed it was laying on the counter, but it was not. The pizza girl said she hadn’t seen a magazine. Had I lost my mind? If you know me personally, don’t answer that. Like my homework in Mrs. Buda’s class, it was nowhere to be found. Did the dog eat it? Where the heck was it? I walked out the door and turned back around to think. When I did, I saw my reflection in the window, as well as the bag with the magazine that was around my right wrist on the arm in which I was holding Abigail. That was embarrassing, but at least I had my magazine in hand – or, in this case, on hand. Go out and pick up that magazine. We have some many talented people in our state and most of them are people like me – just normal people that most have never heard of just doing the best they can to make a difference. Oh, and if you’re wondering, yes, we did see Mrs. Buda. I love that lady. Jody Fuller is from Opelika. He is a comic, speaker, writer and soldier with three tours of duty in Iraq.

Letters to the Editor
Reader: Voters need to vote ‘no’ on referendum Dear Editor, The November election ballot in Elmore County will contain a Special Referendum Election relating to the Limited Self Governance Act. This act was first approved by voters in 2014 by a narrow margin. It is now again on the ballot in an effort by the Elmore County Commission to repeal it. Voters who do not wish to repeal the act
should vote NO. Although the act became effective in 2014, nothing was ever done with it. In plain English, the act would grant the commission powers to deal with nuisances in the unincorporated portions of Elmore County such as residential properties overgrown with weeds, junk vehicles, abandoned structures and litter. Animal problems are the responsibility of the animal control officer who works
through the Elmore County Sheriff’s Department. We need the commission to retain these powers. Unsightly properties not only paint an ugly picture of our county, but also lower the marketability of surrounding properties. It is in the best interest of Elmore County residents to vote NO on this referendum. John Hazel Deatsville
Where does Roby stand on cutting debt? Dear Editor, In December 2017, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell led Republicans to pass a tax cut for the rich that’s projected to add more than $1 trillion to the national debt over a decade. At the time, McConnell stated, “I not only don’t think it will increase the deficit, I think it will be beyond revenue-neutral.” Rep. Martha Roby is on record supporting the tax cut, stating in her weekly column on Dec. 28, 2017, “I was proud to support the final product and vote alongside my colleagues to send the Tax Cuts
and Jobs Act to the President’s desk.” But now McConnell is blaming bipartisan unwillingness to cut Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security programs for rising federal deficits and debt, not the GOP tax cut. In a recent interview, when asked about the deficits and debt he claimed “It’s disappointing, but it’s not a Republican problem.” McConnell, who didn’t care about bipartisan support for his tax cut, now wants Democrats to support cuts to these middle class entitlement programs that our seniors have earned.
Have Republican voters bothered to ask Rep. Roby where she now stands on cuts to these programs? At one time, for example, she was on the record in opposing cuts to Social Security benefits or raising the retirement age. Does she now stand with McConnell and support such changes to these programs? Or have you simply put your heads in the sand (again) blindly swallowing the Republican Party line and voting against your own self-interests? Michael E. Waters Elmore

Market, butcher shop coming to Wetumpka By AMALIA KORTRIGHT Bureau Chief
A family of local farmers recently announced the location of a new market and butcher shop, which is set to open in Wetumpka’s downtown area early next year. According to Chris George, who is starting George’s River Market and Butchery with his family, all of the meat and produce sold in the market will come from the George Family Farm, which is located in Eclectic. “We have about 400 acres, and we produce livestock, we produce vegetables and we direct-market everything to our end-user customers,� George said. “There’s nothing like this in the area, where you can come in and get a fresh steak and tell us how you want it cut. We’ll be able to tailor everything directly to the customer.� George described George’s River Market as a “true family run business,� and said many of his family members will have a hand in its operation. George said they had looked at several cities to start the business before narrowing the list down to Wetumpka and Alexander City. George cited the market’s close proximity to the Coosa River and the

community’s helpfulness as two of the reasons he chose Wetumpka. “With a view like this, why would you not come to Wetumpka?� George said. “The city was eager to have us.
They worked with us, and we found a building owner that was willing to do everything that we required. It just all fell together.� Through his experience with the
farm, George said he is confident that George’s River Market will bring in people from out of town. “We want to make this a destination place, where we draw customers from Millbrook, Prattville, Montgomery,� George said. “Right now, we have customers that travel all the way from Birmingham twice a month to come to our store in Eclectic.� Main Street Wetumpka president Dennis Fain said the addition of the market, along with other businesses that are opening in the area, mark the beginning of “exciting times� for the city. “Everything that is happening in downtown Wetumpka is bringing the quality-of-life type experiences that we’ve been looking for to better our community,� Fain said. “I think it’s going to do exceptionally well.� Elmore County Commission chair and downtown area business owner Troy Stubbs said he was delighted to see more businesses taking a chance on the community. “It is an opportunity, but it also takes a lot of hard work, dedication and community support,� Stubbs said. “When you’re willing to take that chance and you see the camaraderie that comes from the city, it really makes it all worth it.�

Because of her love for animals, especially dogs, White said she plans to use her title as Miss Christmas on the Coosa to raise funds for the Humane Society of Elmore County. “I’m taking up blankets, food and toys,� White said. “I’ve always had a passion for dogs, I love helping and I’ve volunteered at the humane society before. My grandmother adopted her dog from the humane society, so it’s just a big part of our lives.� White said she was glad to have met reigning Miss Alabama Callie Walker, who

served as the pageant’s emcee. “Getting to meet her and spend time with her after the pageant was really special,� White said. The Miss Christmas on the Coosa pageant contestants were divided into five different divisions based on their ages. Erika Renae Broadway was named the winner of the Teen Miss division, Lillian Gober was named the Junior Miss division winner, Baylie Kate Barrett took the crown in the Little Miss division and Kamdyn Grace Varner won the Petite Miss Division. While she had placed in the younger divisions, White said this was her first time to both win and compete in the Miss division. White said she was especially excited to get to know the winners of all the younger divisions, who she referred to as her “sister queens.� “Three of them are from Holtville this year,� White said. “It’s going to be fun to grow closer to them and form a special bond as sister queens this year.�

Halloween adoption special going on today By REA CORD HSEC Executive Director
I
f you are looking for that special dog, come see us today from 10 a.m. until 5 p.m. to take advantage of our “Pumpkin Patch Dog Adoption Special.” What’s that you say? When you find your approved doggy match in our shelter, we will have a board for you to pull off one “pumpkin.” Under each pumpkin will be your chance for a possible no-cost adoption, 50 percent off our normal dog adoption fee, 25 percent off, a special surprise or a customized engraved pet ID tag. Just ask Snow White or one of our seven shelter dwarfs staff to assist you find just the right pet. For those celebrating Halloween please be aware that candy and people in costumes may pose special risks for our pets. Candy may be tough on our waistlines but can sadly be deadly for our pets. Chocolate and the artificial sweetener xylitol found in many candies can be toxic to pets, not to mention the danger from swallowed candy wrappers and lollipop sticks. Please keep all candies safely out of reach of your pets and don’t leave pets unattended with a big bowl of candy at the front door. Also please make sure your children are aware that their Halloween Candy should not be shared with pets. Perhaps make a special ‘pet candy bowl’ with small doggy or kitty treats that your children can safely share with them they have their own “treats.” Glow sticks and rings may help our children be seen better while out having fun but are something that should be kept safe from our pets. While the contents of most glowsticks are non-toxic, they do have a very bitter taste so best to just keep glow sticks out of the reach of curious dogs and cats.
What about costumes? What you may think is cute might be quite stressful to your pet. If you do dress up your pet, make sure the costume doesn’t constrict its movement, hearing or breathing. Never leave a pet wearing a costume unattended and also check to make sure there are no dangling pieces that your pet could get caught in or chew on. And if your pet seems distressed then please don’t force your pet to stay in a costume. If you are having a party, probably best to keep your pets in a separate room so they won’t become scared or even protective when they see humans in odd and scary costumes. This will also help protect them from being fed inappropriate food, treats and candy by kind, but uninformed party guests. Please also keep your pets in another room or part of the house if you are opening your door for trick-or-treaters! It would be easy for a pet to escape and we certainly don’t want a pet to be freaked out by scores of children in all manner of costumes resulting in either a lost pet or, worse, a bite. And make sure pets and ‘candle lit’ Halloween decorations are not left alone to help prevent an accidental fire! Only two weeks until The Fire and Fur Festival, starting Nov. 10 at Mad Tatter Tattoo Studio, located at 10073 Holtville Road in Deatsville. This is a 24-hour tattoo event starting at 10a.m. on Nov. 10 (through 10 a.m. on Nov. 11) to not only hopefully set a state record for most tattoos in 24 hours, but they are splitting the proceeds between the Slapout Fire Department and Humane Society of Elmore County. You will have a choice of three specific black ink tattoos (American Flag, Paw Print, Skull) for $20 each. There’s going to be a lot more than just tattooing going on, with food, entertainment and more. See you in Slapout in a couple of weeks!

Pet of the Week – Dee
D
ee is a very sweet 2-anda-half year old kitty. We have no idea why she has been with us since March as she is super loving and playful, craves attention, is good with other cats, dogs, children and is just a sweet laidback kitty in search of a safe and loving forever home. Shelter adoption fees
are $50 for cats under 1 year old. Cats over 1 year old can be adopted by approved adopters for a fee of their choosing and $100 for dogs. This adoption fee completely covers the mandatory spay or neuter, basic immunizations, de-worming, microchip, heartworm check for dogs, rabies vaccination if old enough, free health exam with a participating veterinarian.
To meet Dee and the other pets at the shelter, visit 255 Central Plank Road in Wetumpka.

The shelter is open for adoptions from Monday through Friday between 10 a.m. and 5 p.m. and on Saturday between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m.
Wetumpka woman crowned Miss ASU By AMALIA KORTRIGHT Bureau Chief
Wetumpka resident Arianna Thompson was officially crowned as the 2018-2019 Miss Alabama State University during a coronation ceremony on the evening of Oct. 20. “We are incredibly proud of Arianna,” ASU Student Affairs vice president Davida Haywood said. “She’s a hometown girl at one of the best universities in the state.” For Thompson, who is currently a senior, winning the title of Miss ASU has been a longtime goal. When her name was announced during the Miss ASU pageant earlier this year, Thompson said the news came as a surprise. “My heart was beating really fast. I was nervous, but I was confident,” Thompson said. “The first thing I did was start crying. I’ve desired this since I was a senior in high school.” Thompson said her platform, Power Revealed In Dedication to Education, aims to emphasize the importance of education in the community. “I come from a family of educators, which is why education is the focus of my platform,” Thompson said. “Education is vital to one’s platform, and without it, we wouldn’t be where we are today.” Through PRIDE, Thompson said she has established the Big Hornet/Little Hornet program, in which upperclassmen “adopt” freshmen and transfer students and act as mentors. Thompson said she is also working on implementing the Hornet Community Connection program in the spring, which will provide tutoring to students in the Montgomery Public School system. “Everything I plan on doing is to support education,” Thompson said. Haywood described Thompson as one of ASU’s “favorite cheerleaders.” Thompson is a graphic design major, a member of the university’s student art organization and a student orientation services

leader. Thompson is slated to graduate in May, and plans to pursue a master’s degree in business administration. “She encompasses grace, poise and a dedication to education,” Haywood said. “Even when her reign is up, we know she’s going to go on to do wonderful things.”

Haunted History Tours give ghostly glimpse into Wetumpka’s past By AMALIA KORTRIGHT Bureau Chief
The latter half of last week was filled with local history and lore for the Wetumpka Area Chamber of Commerce, who hosted the third annual Haunted History Tours each evening from Oct. 24-27. During the tours, visitors from all over the river region were guided around the city’s downtown area to learn about the history behind a number of historical buildings and hear about the ghostly legends associated with them. Over the past three years, chamber associate director and River Region Paranormal member Jamie Young said they have worked to maintain a balance between highlighting both the historical and paranormal aspects of the area. “Some folks who will come on these tours are very interested in the history aspect of it. They want to see all of those behind-the-scenes basements, third floors and things that are not open to the public,” Young said. “There are some folks who want to hear about the haunted part, and they want to hear all the stories from the business owners themselves and be able to experience something.” After the tours concluded, visitors had the opportunity to participate in a paranormal investigation of the chamber of commerce building, located on East Bridge Street. According to Young, the chamber’s building is widely known as the city’s most haunted building. Young said the 2018 tours brought back “rave reviews,” and prompted many people to buy an additional ticket for the investigations. “How we tell if we’ve done a really good job is when some of those folks turn their regular tour into an extended tour because they’re so excited about the paranormal activity,” Young said. Young said this year’s tours attracted hundreds of people from the Montgomery metro area. Additionally, Young said this is the highest amount of money that the chamber has raised through the tours. While the previous tours have been geared for those ages 12 and up, Young said she feels they have expanded to the point to where they’re considering incorporating more activities in the future. “We don’t have anything for folks with smaller children,” Young said. “We were thinking of maybe having an outdoor block party for them to have a different event to go with (the tours).” Millbrook resident Michael Bailey,
who went on the tours with his wife, Amanda, said this was their second year to participate and first time to take part in the investigations. “We’d never done anything like that before,” Bailey said. “We had some flashlights go off and on (by themselves), so that was kind of weird.” Wetumpka resident Torii Chism said she and her family wanted to go on a tour for several years, and were glad they finally had the chance. While touring the chamber of commerce building, Chism said she was surprised to have possibly had her own ghostly encounter. “While I was standing in a doorway, I felt like something put pressure on my chest,” Chism said. “I don’t know if something went through me, but I felt this deep pressure and I kind of got a chill in my hands.” Chism also said learning about her city’s history was an eye-opening experience. “I’ve lived here for a little more than 10 years. I knew Wetumpka had a deep, rich history, but I was not expecting all of this,” Chism said. “Wetumpka has always been a great city, and having a much more profound history lesson about it, I kind of want to explore it a little more.”

POSTSEASON ON THE HORIZON Playoff picture clears as regular season wraps up By CALEB TURRENTINE Sports Writer
This is the final week of the regular season for AHSAA football teams but almost all the 208 playoff spots have been decided. The postseason begins Nov. 2 and three schools across Elmore County are preparing to make a run at a state championship. Wetumpka clinched the Class 6A Region 3 title two weeks ago and will have a bye week before entering the postseason. The Indians are 8-2 this season but have not been given the easiest draw to start the playoff. Region 3 is matched up with Region 1 in the first round of the postseason. Wetumpka avoided an early meeting with No. 3 Saraland, No. 2 Spanish Fort and St. Paul’s but Region 1 may be the deepest in the state. Two teams are still battling for the fourth seed in the region and the right to travel to Hohenberg Field for the first round. Wetumpka’s first round opponent will be the winner of this week’s game between Daphne
and Blount. Blount took Saraland to overtime last week while Daphne was within one possession against each of the region’s top three teams. Stanhope Elmore finished with the same region record as Wetumpka and won in the head-to-head battle earlier this month. However, the Mustangs were on the short end of the three-way tiebreaker and will now have to face one of the state’s top teams in the first round of the playoffs. Stanhope coach Brian Bradford said he and his coaching staff will be on hand this Friday night when Saraland and Spanish Fort play for their region title. The Mustangs will travel to south Alabama to face the loser of that game next week for the postseason opener. Holtville found itself as one of the benefactors of a chaotic Class 4A Region 4 this season. The Bulldogs grabbed the third seed after coming out on top of a three-way due to their win over Lincoln. Now, Holtville will have to hit the road for its first postseason See PLAYOFFS • Page B4

Mustangs focus on strong season after mediocre finish
Holtville outmatched at first regional since 2011

Stanhope Elmore entered the postseason with a 13-4 record and had high hopes of making a run in the super regionals this year. However, the Mustangs were forced to deal with a late change to the roster and the team could not recover on the court. After falling in the area tournament at home, Stanhope Elmore’s season ended with a three-set loss to Northridge on Thursday in the first round of super regionals. Stanhope coach Virginia Barber said she wants her team to stay focused on the positive aspects of the season instead of the disappointment at the end. “They’ve done stuff that no other team has done at Stanhope Elmore so I hope we can continue that,” Barber said. “We just have to push through adversity a little bit better than we have this year.” The Mustangs held a 6-4 lead in the first set of Thursday’s match but Northridge scored the next 11 points to take control. Northridge won the set 25-13 and carried the momentum into the second set. The Jaguars never trailed in the final two sets and allowed just 21 total points to the Mustangs. Despite the loss, the players felt the experience of postseason play was worth it. “It was fun,” Stanhope freshman Kelbi Johnson said. “We kept talking about finding a way to have fun, win or lose, and I did. It was a good experience. I learned See FINISH • Page B4
Holtville made an appearance at the state super regionals for the first time since 2011 but its time in Montgomery was short lived. The Bulldogs fell to American Christian in three sets and ended their season with an 11-12 record. The Patriots dominated each set, winning 25-10, 25-10, 25-6. “At this level, everyone is good,” Holtville coach Alison Franklin said. “There is no easy team and we knew that we would have to work for every point. But these girls were excited about the day and about being here.” Franklin said the team was just focused on the excitement of playing on a bigger stage. None of the players on the roster had played at the Multiplex at Cramton Bowl before Friday’s match so the Bulldogs made sure to prepare for the atmosphere. “We practiced with stadium noise this week,” Franklin said. “Because these girls have never been in this environment. It was important for them to understand the sounds and the whistles. It’s loud but I don’t think that was a factor for us today. It’s fun when you make it to this level, you see a lot of good volleyball here.” Holtville quickly fell behind the Patriots and trailed 17-5 in the opening set. Franklin called a timeout to calm her players down and make sure they continued to enjoy the moment. “I told them you’ve got to go out and play volleyball the way you know how,” Franklin said. “You can only control your side See REGIONAL • Page B4

Wetumpka’s Ryleigh Hamm (17) hits the ball against Hillcrest during Thursday’s super regional matchup in Montgomery.
VOLLEYBALL ENDS Wetumpka finishes season at super regional tourney By CALEB TURRENTINE Sports Writer
After winning its second consecutive area championship, Wetumpka advanced to the super regional tournament in Montgomery but the team was forced into a first-round matchup with No. 10 Hillcrest-Tuscaloosa on Thursday. Wetumpka lost the match in straight sets, finishing the season with a 7-15 overall record. Despite the losing record and postseason exit, Wetumpka coach Margo Thomas said her message to the team was about the success it had this season. “They fought all the way until the end,” Thomas said. “We made some mistakes today but we were in it. We were neck and neck but they just made a few less mistakes. I was proud of them though because we fought until the very end.” Wetumpka held a 17-14 lead in the opening set after the fourth kill of the set by Ryleigh Hamm forced Hillcrest to take a timeout.
Hamm finished with six kills in the match to go along with four aces and two digs. “Adrenaline is a big part of it for sure but I just want to make my team proud,” Hamm said of her good start. “In my head, I want to be there for my team and let them know that I’m there for them.” Despite the fast start for Wetumpka, the Patriots responded with nine consecutive points and finished off the opening set by a score of 25-18. Hillcrest came out on fire in the second set as well, leading by as many as six points before Wetumpka began cutting into the deficit. Wetumpka scored 10 of 12 points to take an 18-15 lead, forcing Hillcrest into another timeout. Wetumpka stayed in front and had a chance to win the set after taking a 24-20 lead. “They really wanted it,” Thomas said. “They had a goal to win and make it to the next round. They didn’t get down on themselves and kept fighting. I was really pleased with that. They learned how to work together as a team.” See VOLLEYBALL • Page B4
Wetumpka looks to use off week for extra boost before playoffs By CALEB TURRENTINE Sports Writer

Wetumpka wrapped up its regular season last week with a loss at Muscle Shoals. Wetumpka will now turn its focus to the postseason as it waits to see who will be the first playoff opponent in what the Indians will hope to be a repeat trip to the state championship game. Wetumpka coach Tim Perry said last week’s loss could serve as a wakeup call to
the team before the playoffs begin. “We were disappointed of our performance,” Perry said. “I think it did (wake us up) but I have no doubt that our guys will respond in a positive way.” Wetumpka believes that response will begin in practice this week during its off week. The team scheduled only three practices this week but Perry said it was going to be shortened practices
with limited contact as the Indians focus on correcting some of the smaller mistakes from the season. “The whole purpose of having the open week is to give them some time off and to get away from contact,” Perry said. “We have to let them get their battery recharged and get ready for the playoffs.” Wetumpka will await the winner of this week’s game between Blount and Daphne See INDIANS • Page B2

Rams need to pass bye week to have undefeated season
E
very once in a while, an NFL team looks so good after a few games, people begin to look down the schedule to see how long an undefeated season can actually last. We may never see another team run the table in the regular season en route to a Super Bowl title. But that does not stop us from the speculation. And this year, that team is the Los Angeles Rams. The Rams currently sit 8-0, halfway to the perfect regular season mark. There are a handful of teams left on the schedule which could easily steal a win from Los Angeles but I’m here to tell you why this team may be the team to pull off the unthinkable. Last week, the Rams hosted the Packers in a game that felt like a home game for Green Bay. The Packers battled and held a fourth quarter lead before giving up a field goal with just over two minutes to go. Los Angeles took a 29-27 lead and, in most games, you would feel pretty comfortable with that. Unfortunately for the Rams, Aaron Rodgers was on the other sideline. Sometimes, I think Rodgers was just built in a factory and specifically made for fourth-quarter comebacks. He led the Packers back from down 17 points to the Bears in the opening game of the season in what might have been my favorite Sunday Night Football game of all time. So, what happened on Sunday? How did the Rams hang on to win? Rodgers never got the ball back. The Rams, and possibly fate, intervened and forced a fumble on the kickoff following Greg Zeurlein’s game-winning field goal. There was another chance for Rodgers to return to the field but instead of running the ball into an open end zone, LA’s Todd Gurley fell down inside the 10-yard line to let the final seconds tick away. If the Rams were going to lose a game this season, Sunday was the perfect time for it to happen. Los Angeles will now look at its eight remaining games thinking it already survived the impossible. What could possibly stop it now? And before I get too carried away with the return of the Greatest Show on Turf, I will say this: I do not think the Rams are going 19-0 this season. At least I am not willing to admit I think that. Yet. The Rams have a brutal schedule over the next few weeks and you could easily find not only one loss, but three to four losses remaining on the schedule. So now I have to put my money where mouth is and make a real prediction. Los Angeles plays New Orleans, Seattle and Kansas City over the next three weeks. If the Rams are still undefeated after their meeting with the Chiefs, they will not lose this season. If the Rams enter their bye week at 11-0, they will finish the season 19-0. So, jump on the bandwagon early because there is plenty of space. Seriously, it was embarrassing to hear the noise Packers fans were making in the (temporary) Los Angeles stadium Sunday.

Mustangs wrap up with ranked foe By CALEB TURRENTINE Sports Writer
Stanhope Elmore welcomed an open date on its schedule last week after its 59-21 loss to Opelika. After losing the region championship in the final week of region play, the Mustangs look to bounce back this week before the postseason begins. However, that task will be easier said than done. Stanhope will get on the bus Thursday to travel to No. 6 Greenville. The Tigers won Class 5A Region 2 and are coming off a 36-13 victory over CarrollOzark last week. They are currently on a seven-game winning streak and will be looking to secure their first nine-win season since 2015. Stanhope has played just one team from a smaller classification this season, defeating Chilton County 46-14 in the season opener, but Greenville will bring a much bigger challenge to the table. The Tigers have three wins over ranked teams this season, including a victory in Week 1 over defending 4A state champion HillcrestEvergreen and a 40-21 win at Tallassee. Stanhope will need to find a way to slow down Greenville’s dynamic offense. The Tigers have averaged 35.8 points per game this season, the program’s highest mark since 2009. Greenville also sports

an improved defense, one which has not allowed more than 20 points since Week 3. Stanhope had thrived off the strength of its defense early in the season but the unit has showed some fatigue down the stretch. After allowing 11.3 points per game in the first four weeks of the season, the Mustang defense has allowed 31.2 points per game over the last five games. SEHS is 2-3 during that stretch.
Stanhope coach Brian Bradford said he thinks the bye week could have had a positive impact on the defensive group as the players look to get reenergized before the playoffs. The Mustangs will begin postseason play next week and will hit the road to face the region runner-up of Class 6A Region 1. A battle awaits Stanhope but the Mustangs are no stranger to a matchup
with a top-ranked team. Stanhope believes this game against Greenville at the end of the season can be a good test prior to the postseason. With this week’s game on a Thursday night, Bradford said he and his coaching staff will likely be making the trip to Saraland to watch the No. 3 Spartans host No. 2 Spanish Fort. The Mustangs will travel to the loser of that game next week for the first round of the playoffs.
Holtville using Senior Night to prep for playoffs By CALEB TURRENTINE Sports Writer
Holtville clinched its first playoff spot since 2010 last week and it will look to prepare for its postseason matchup with Montgomery Catholic. However, the Bulldogs have to wrap up regular season play this week as they host a winless Marbury team for Senior Night at Boykin Field. “It’s a rivalry game,” Holtville coach Jason Franklin said. “We haven’t beaten them in the last few chances. Our big focal point is we’ve been breaking some streaks this year so let’s keep breaking them.” Friday night will mark the 70th meeting between Marbury and Holtville. Holtville leads the all-time series 41-24-4 but Marbury has won the last six meetings, including a 31-21 victory in 2017. As Holtville prepares for a postseason game, the Bulldogs could have one eye on its playoff opponent. Franklin admitted the team will use the extra time to prepare for the playoffs but he knows the players will be focused on the task at hand Friday. “The coaching staff has started watching some film and breaking down Catholic this week but our primary focus is on Marbury,” Franklin said. “They’re going to bring in a gritty squad that doesn’t want us to break the losing streak to them.” Marbury has struggled this season and has lost 12 consecutive games since Week 9 last year. Marbury has been outscored by 23.7 points per game this season and has allowed 28 points or more in each of the last seven weeks. “They’re going to bring a lot of pressure defensively,” Franklin said. “They’ll blitz a lot from different locations so we’ll have to be on our

game this week with blitz pickup and blocking assignments.” Holtville will be honoring 16 seniors on the football team Friday night with four key wide receivers leading the way. Drew Nobles and Dajon Reeves have combined for 1,101 yards and 11 touchdowns through the air this season. Twin brothers JaDarius and JaDerrick Carter will also be celebrating their final game at Boykin Field. JaDarius has improved as a receiver this season, catching 19 passes for 307 yards, while JaDerrick has moved into a role in the backfield. Franklin said it is important to find reps for the senior players this week but there will be a balance in trying to keep key players healthy. At the end of the day, Franklin said he knows See BULLDOGS • Page B4

as the two teams battle for the fourth seed in Class 6A Region 1. Perry said there is a good chance he and his coaching staff will make the trip to scout the two teams in person but he admitted the team has already begun preparation for either team. “We’re going to try to be as prepared as we can,” Perry said. “We’ve already started gathering information on those two teams.” Despite the head start on the postseason, Wetumpka will still focus on figuring out its own flaws this week. Wetumpka has struggled in the first half of games this season and it finally doomed the team during the loss to Muscle Shoals. Wetumpka shut out the Trojans in the second half but could not come back from a 24-0 deficit. “We just need to get off to a better
start on both sides of the ball,” Perry said. “We’re capable of doing that but we have to stay sharp fundamentally and that’s where the game can be won or lost — doing the basic things well.” This marks the third consecutive season in which Wetumpka has a bye week before the playoffs begin. Last season, it reenergized the team and helped lift the team into the state championship game. Perry said the bye week comes at the perfect time again this season. “That’s why we’ve done it for the last couple of years,” Perry said. “We feel like it’s a good time to have a bye week. As a coaching staff, it gives you some time to make some changes if you need to. You don’t have the pressure of getting ready for a game this week so you can work on yourself.”

Wildcats host Clarke Prep in playoffs
Elmore County Player of the Week
By CALEB TURRENTINE Sports Writer
Edgewood Academy will be playing in its first postseason game since 2015 when it hosts Clarke Prep on Friday night. The Wildcats are one of the biggest surprises in AISA this season but coach Darryl Free said the team is looking further than just a one-and-done playoff appearance. “It’s a big objective and goal taken care of but we can’t sit here and be satisfied with what happened,” Free said. “We still have some other goals ahead of us. We have an opportunity to make it to the second round but in order to do that we have to play a very good Clarke Prep team.” Edgewood (7-3) is coming off a 35-14 win over Success Unlimited last week. The Wildcats have won three of their last four games but bouncing back from the 61-3 loss to Autauga was a needed step for the players. “Going into the playoffs, you’d like to go in off a win especially after what we went through at Autauga,” Free said. “It was really good to watch our guys bounce back, maybe not so much physically but mentally. To bounce back and play good football was really good to see.” Clarke Prep (4-7) is entering the postseason on a different note. The Gators have lost two consecutive games since clinching a postseason berth with a win

against Lowndes Academy. This will be the ninth straight season with a playoff appearance for the Gators. Clarke Prep has scored 23.3 points per game this season under firstyear coach Jimmy Hicks. However, in the team’s four wins, that number shoots up to 43 points per game. “They’re very hard to defend,” Free said. “They pass the ball a lot and take a lot of shots down the field. We’ve got to be prepared and be disciplined to have a chance to succeed.” Free compared Clarke
Prep’s play to the play of Lakeside, which Edgewood defeated 31-7 earlier this month. The Gator offense is pass-heavy and likes to use several players in its attack. “They look a lot like Lakeside in what they do and how they spread the field,” Free said. “We hope we can use that game as something to look back on and use some of that to get ready. But at the end of the day, it’s going to be a unique challenge.” Edgewood and Clarke Prep did not have any common opponents during
the regular season, which is rare to see in AISA. However, Edgewood’s non-region schedule was stacked with AISA-AAA schools while Clarke Prep’s was heavy with A schools. The Wildcats hope their play against bigger schools will help them now that the postseason is here. “My hope is that with a 3A heavy schedule, we can reap the benefits of that now,” Free said. “And not only a 3A heavy schedule but the last three games we’ve played has been against very good and athletic opponents.”

Tyler Abernathy does little things for Edgewood By CALEB TURRENTINE Sports Writer
Tyler Abernathy was the only senior to take the field for Edgewood during its 35-14 win at Success Unlimited on Thursday night. The Wildcats needed to come from behind for the victory and Abernathy was the key for Edgewood to get back on the winning track. “Tyler played a great game,” Edgewood coach Darryl Free said. “He was all over the field on offense and defense. He not only ran the ball for us but he laid a lot of key blocks that opened it up for Kolby (Potts) and a lot of that is behind the scenes. He takes his role very seriously as a leader.” Edgewood trailed 8-7 at the end of the first quarter and the game was tied at 14 after the two teams traded touchdowns in the second quarter. Success Unlimited had a chance to take the lead and drove the ball inside Wildcat territory with under three minutes to go in the half. On a first down play from Edgewood’s 30-yard line, Abernathy intercepted a pass from Jamari Smith. The Wildcats capitalized and scored six plays later to take a 21-14 lead into the break. Abernathy continued his strong defensive game in the second half and finished with 4.5 tackles, including one for a loss. He is the Elmore County Player of the Week. On the offensive side of the ball, Abernathy was often used as the lead blocker in the rushing attack. Potts was the workhorse, rushing for 163 yards and two touchdowns but Abernathy was rewarded for his efforts in the fourth quarter. Abernathy capped off the scoring with a 2-yard touchdown rush with 9:06 to go in the game. He finished with 33 yards on seven rush attempts. “Anytime we have an opportunity to get Tyler a carry for a possible touchdown, we take that because of all the things he does for our team that nobody sees,” Free said. “We want him to get some of that notoriety and glory.” During the drive, Success Unlimited was called for four unsportsmanlike conduct penalties. As one of two seniors on the roster, Abernathy is looked at See ABERNATHY • Page B4
Edgewood advances to Final Weekend Football Forecast Four with win over Tuscaloosa By CALEB TURRENTINE Sports Writer
Edgewood showed why it is the top-ranked team in the state with Monday’s straight set victory over Tuscaloosa Academy in the Elite 8. The Wildcats had 14 aces and had six different players record a kill in the victory. Edgewood coach Sellers Dubberley was pleased with the victory but said the team still has room for improvement. “We’ve got a lot to work on still,” Dubberley said. “Whoever we play on Thursday is going to have a lot going for them. We’ve had a lot to clean up all year. You can’t look at it by how bad we beat them or what the scores were; I look at it as what we’re doing right and wrong.” The Wildcats jumped out to a quick lead in the first set, scoring eight of the first ten points. Avery Roberts had three kills and two aces in the opening set as Edgewood finished it off, 25-6. Tuscaloosa bounced back in the second set, showing more resistance against the Wildcat
attack. The Knights led 6-4 after taking a point on a long rally but Edgewood quickly erased the deficit. With Lindsey Brown serving, the Wildcats reeled off 11 consecutive points to secure the lead. Katie Roberts and Sydney Brown each had two kills during the run. “You hope that the server can find a rhythm and keep the momentum going,” Dubberley said. “Once the server finds that rhythm, it seems like every hit is an error. A missed serve and all of our momentum is just gone, so that’s always the goal.” Sydney Brown added another kill to finish off the set, giving the Wildcats a 25-13 win in the second. Madison White finished with 14 assists in the set. Tuscaloosa took another lead to begin the third set, scoring five of the first eight points. Three of those points came on errors from the Wildcats while the other two were from net violations on Edgewood. “We have to start fast,” See EDGEWOOD • Page B4

Bulldogs what the night will mean to the players and their families. “You hate to see those guys go,” Franklin said. “Senior Night is just an
Abernathy to be a leader in those situations. Abernathy said the bond between him and his teammates help keep everyone calm during those situations. “We’ve preached mental toughness all year and he’s bought into that,” Free said. “That was a spot where we needed that mental toughness and he was a leader, telling the guys, ‘Hey, don’t respond and just stay level headed,’ so it’s great to have him out there for that.”

emotional night. This could be the last home game these guys ever play here. You want to go out on a high note. It’s just a bittersweet moment.”
continued from page B3
Despite not racking up his biggest stat line of the season, Thursday night may have been Abernathy’s biggest effect on a game this season. “From a coach’s standpoint, we see those intangibles that he brings and how important he is so we see it on a day to day basis,” Free said. “He’s part of what makes the engine go. Without him, it would look completely different.”

game since 2010. The Bulldogs will be matched up with one of the two regions which has two teams ranked in the top ten. Holtville avoided a region champion but will still face a Montgomery
Catholic team which is 7-3 on the season and has just one loss in 4A play. The AISA playoffs have also arrived, with eight teams remaining in each classification. Edgewood
begins its road to Troy this week when it hosts Clarke Prep in the first round of the playoff. The winner of that game will advance and likely travel to No. 5 Escambia for the semifinals.

Dubberley said. “Whoever we’re playing on Thursday, we may not have the luxury of starting slow and being able to come back. We are a fairly slow starting team and I think the girls sometimes assume they’ll have time to come back but that’s not always the case.” Edgewood erased Tuscaloosa’s early lead and used two separate 8-0 runs to finish off the match. Katie Roberts and Haylee Brown each had three kills during the set. Edgewood now advances to the Final Four, which will be held at the Multiplex at Cramton Bowl on Thursday. The Wildcats will be matched up against Glenwood in the first match and the winner will secure a spot in the AISA-AA championship game. Edgewood will be the favorites entering the day but the Wildcats know there will be a target on their backs. “We’ve got some weaknesses that we have to iron out over the next two days and that’s not a lot of time,” Dubberley said. “We have to figure out what the most important things are and what we can fix before Thursday.”

more about volleyball and how to talk to people. It’s just everyone has to work as a team.” Johnson was a late addition to the varsity roster this season, replacing the team’s main setter. She finished with six assists to go with five digs in the match against Northridge. Barber said it was important to get the experience for some of the younger players because she expects the team to be back next season. She said the atmosphere of the Multiplex at Cramton Bowl is a challenge in itself. “We had four returners from last season so this whole team is new to this,” Barber said. “It’s chaotic in here. It’s loud and we’re not used to that. So just the experience of it and that’s what I told them.” Stanhope will lose six of its players from this season’s roster. Lotte Preusser, who will return to Germany at the end of the school year, finished her final match with a team-high six kills. Seniors Gabbi Taylor and Alisson Evans combined for three kills and a block in their final match with the Mustangs. Both players have been with Barber since their freshman year at Stanhope. “Just seeing them grow up is what it’s all about,” Barber said. “It’s more about life than volleyball anyway.
Brian Tannehill / For The Herald
Stanhope’s McKayla WIlson (10) returns a serve against Northridge during the super regional tournament on Thursday.
We’re going to miss them. Losing six really good players is going to be tough but these younger girls have experienced it now so hopefully we’ll be back next year.” Stanhope will look back on this year as a successful season. Barber said she hopes this can be a turning
point for the program. “They’re starting to learn that we’re competitive,” Barber said. “Before, they were OK with being mediocre and I’m not OK with being mediocre. I demand (to be better) and I think they’re starting to learn that and it’s changing the whole culture.”
Regional and we did the best we could today.” Brooke Cooper and Kaylyn Dismukes were the only two Bulldogs to record a kill during the match but Holtville’s defense was often called on. Alexus Hindman and Zoe Lowe each had four

digs while Denisha Reeves had a team-high three blocks. Reeves, Dismukes and Lowe are all seniors, along with Cyndi Thornton and Victoria Miller. Those five players saw their high school volleyball careers come to an end Friday but
Franklin said their legacy will leave an impact on the program. She said the senior class always wanted to be better and to change the culture around the Holtville volleyball program. “That is huge to me and huge to the school,”

Wetumpka’s Morgan Causey (3) hits the ball past a pair of Hillcrest-Evergreen blockers on Thursday.
Franklin said. “They’ve set the bar now. This team went to super regionals and that means next year’s team will want to do the same or better. It’s huge for them to work as hard as they did and do something that has not been done in a long time.”
Hillcrest scored the next six points to take the second set before finishing off the match with a 25-17 win in the third. After the match, Wetumpka’s players wanted to stay focused on the positives from their season. “Hillcrest was just a great team,” Wetumpka senior Caroline Tyler said. “The improvement we’ve made from the beginning of the season to the end of the season really is amazing. I’m really proud of my team. “We pulled together the last couple of weeks but it was a hard loss. This is my senior year and we wanted the win but we played hard.” After losing eight seniors from last year’s roster, Wetumpka dealt with injuries and absent players throughout
the season. However, things came together just in time for the area tournament and the players are hoping it can help the program moving forward. “I’m just super proud of our team for pulling together,” Tyler said. “And since we have such a young team, the next couple of years, they’re going to be so good. I’m definitely going to be back to watch them.” Next season, Wetumpka will return 10 players who played in the match against Hillcrest. Thomas said she is pleased with where the program is right now. “We just tell them to keep their heads up and be ready for next year,” Thomas said. “We’ve got a very young team and only losing three seniors. We have a lot of room for growth.”

It’s Time To Trick Or Treat!
Every year on October 31, children of all ages enjoy Halloween. This fun holiday occurs each year in the United States and is a fun day for many people. Adults and kids dress up in costumes, and children often go door-to-door in their neighborhoods in the evenings to receive candies and treats after saying “Trick or Treat!â€? Today, the most important thing to remember when “Trick or Treatingâ€? is safety. Many kids no longer go door-to-door. Instead, they attend “Trick or Treatingâ€? events at places such as malls, churches, and community centers. When going out, be sure to always have a large group of people with you at all times, and remember to include an adult. Wear costumes that are EULJKW LQ FRORU DQG XVH D UHĂ€HFWRU LI \RX DUH ZDONLQJ LQ WKH GDUN $IWHU WKH IXQ DQG EHIRUH \RX HQMR\ your treats, have a trusted adult verify that your candy is safe to eat.

PUZZLES & HOROSCOPE ARIES (March 21-April 19) Think big, and don’t negate any possibilities. Halloween mischief might run through your day. Someone makes you rethink your connection, and he or she seems to know no limits to his or her pushing. Give yourself some time before you Änalize any decisions. Tonight: All smiles. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You might Änd yourself fussing over some issues that you thought were settled quite a while ago. As you might be upset, you could act unpredictably and shock others. Do you really want to shake up the status quo? Perhaps waiting a day would be smart. Tonight: Happy at home. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You are building an even closer connection with a friend or neighbor. Perhaps you have decided to handle Halloween together or approach the night’s happenings as a team. In any case, you will feel closer to each other than you have in a while. Tonight: Let it all hang out. CANCER (June 21-July 22) Your sensitive side could emerge at the last minute. You might need to run off and pick up some more Halloween goodies before elves and witches drop in on you. You could be content as well as amused with the imaginative nature of the day. Tonight: Share your treats! LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You love to get lots of attention. If you are involved in Halloween happenings, no matter what your role, you will do what you do well. A boss or someone you look up to becomes most unpredictable. Listen to what is being shared more openly. Tonight: Let the good times roll. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Decide how much is too much. Your sense of humor emerges when taking a look around. You appreciate the efforts that others make to be in sync with the holiday spirit. Embrace trick-or-treaters and/or the various types of get-togethers that pop up. Tonight: Enjoy the night!
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You enjoy others in general. You also could be quite Ă…attered, as someone might turn up as your secret admirer. People notice your upbeat and festive spirit, and will want to be closer to you. As a result, you will delight in the moment. Tonight: Be where the crowds are. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) The mystery of someone’s costume intrigues you. Actually, much about this person intrigues you. You believe you might know who this secretive and well-costumed person is, so be ready to reveal your guess when asked. Tonight: Cupid’s arrow might head your way. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Reach out to a friend or loved one whom you don’t often get to see. The conversations between you always reĂ…ect where each of you is coming from. They’re also typically amusing. Give in to impulsiveness, and make plans to get together soon. Tonight: Let the party begin. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.19) Defer to someone you care about. You might not be ready for everything that is happening. Still, you will make an adjustment and proceed down the right path. You will Ă„nd that a loved one acts more unpredictably than usual. Tonight: Go with a close friend’s offer. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Others are unusually demonstrative and caring. How you handle a personal matter could radically change because of someone else’s perception of you. You can openly ask for help and expect to receive it. Two heads work better than one. Tonight: Say “yesâ€? to an invitation. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Pace yourself, as it appears that many people are seeking you out for advice and feedback. You might be Ă…attered by all the attention and respect. Know that you deserve it. Still, at times you could feel overwhelmed and out of control. Tonight: Surprises seem to surround you.

Alabama Historical Commission receives ADECA grant STAFF REPORT TPI Staff
The Alabama Historical Commission is set to receive a $400,000 grant made available to the state from the Federal Highway Administrationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Recreational Trails Program. In Alabama, this program is overseen by the Alabama Department of Economic and Community Affairs. This grant will be used to build a multi-use concrete trail, develop an equestrian trail and construct additional restrooms at Old Cahawba, a historic property of the Alabama Historical Commission. Located at the confluence of the Alabama and Cahaba rivers, Old Cahawba served as the capital of Alabama from 1819 to 1826. â&#x20AC;&#x153;No place exemplifies the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bicentennial more than Old Cahawba, Alabamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first state capital,â&#x20AC;? Alabama Historical Commission Executive Director Lisa D. Jones said in a prepared statement. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The AHC is committed to make a number of improvements at the park in conjunction with the bicentennial celebration, such as the widening and creation of pedestrian trails. There will also be a new equine trail as well as parking lot improvements. A newly erected ghost structure pavilion will replicate the first Alabama State House and be used as a trailhead.â&#x20AC;? AHC Chairman Walter D. Givhan said in a release, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m excited about these proposed projects, which align directly with AHCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s goals for Old Cahawba. The improvements will enhance the parkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ability to educate visitors about its history, while maintaining its character. The enhancements will further the parkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s preservation efforts by providing dedicated trails and parking for visitors. Additional projects, such as interpretive signage and defining the cultural landscape will provide a better visitor experience. Overall, the

Old Cahawba lies at the confluence of the Alabama and Cahaba Rivers, and from 1819 to 1826 it served as Alabamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first capital. Today, the Alabama Historical Commission owns and operates this significant archaeological site.
improvements will allow the AHC and Old Cahawba to preserve, protect and interpret the history of this wonderful site.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is such good news,â&#x20AC;? Old Cahawba Site Director Linda Derry said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think of a better way to mark the bicentennial of Alabamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first state capital than to build something of lasting value here. Also, receiving this grant will allow us to better serve our visitors and to widen the appeal of this very special place. My first thought, upon hearing about the grant award, was how grateful I
VS.
am to the many people, organizations and local businesses that wrote letters of support. Reading those letters was a joyful experience. I hope everyone realizes how much we appreciate their support.â&#x20AC;? The ghost structure trailhead will give the parkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s staff a central point on which to focus their educational programming. The addition of an equine trail will also provide a new experience for visitors. Horseback riding is popular in the Black Belt region. By providing ample parking for horse trailers, Cahawba can
accommodate these groups. The site is also popular among cyclists. Providing additional trails will encourage the growth of this activity. There are no public facilities comparable to the site within 30 miles. The combination of historical education and recreation make Old Cahawba a unique treasure. In addition to the opportunities created for the park, these efforts support countywide tourism. Travel and outdoor recreation accounts for a significant portion of economic revitalization in Dallas County.
