The Wetumpka City Council Monday night authorized the expenditures for the immediate repair of a leak in the roof of the Wetumpka Police Department. Last week, Mayor Jerry Willis said a “tremendous” amount of water leaked into the station’s investigative and evidence departments during a heavy rain. According to Director of Public Works Tex Grier, the city received proposals from three different construction companies, which covers the repair of the station’s roof and the addition of storm gutters on the back of the building.

The Wetumpka Area Chamber of Commerce hosted its second annual Drawdown and Silent Auction at the Wind Creek Hotel and Casino Entertainment Center on Sept. 11. Executive director Gerry Purcell said the drawdown portion of the event gave guests a chance to win thousands of dollars, while

the silent auction provided guests with the opportunity to find great deals on quality merchandise. “It’s a good event to raise money and have fun at the same time, and somebody’s going to win about $4,000 to 5,000 tonight,” Purcell said at the beginning of the event.

arrested on Feb. 26, 2017 and charged with two counts of traveling to meet a child for sex, one count of sodomy in the second degree and two counts of rape in the second degree. Traveling to meet a child for sex is a Class A felony, and second-degree sodomy and second-degree rape are Class B felonies. According to court documents, Barnes traveled from his home to meet an unnamed victim “for the purpose of engaging in any unlawful sex act with a child,” and engaged in sexual intercourse with a juvenile younger than 16. Court documents did not indicate when the offenses occurred or the number of victims involved. Barnes pleaded guilty to the charges in February, and Griffin ordered that Barnes undergo a mental examination by a certified forensic examiner appointed by the Alabama Department of Mental Health. Court documents stated that Barnes’ sentencing was postponed until the results of the test. Barnes’ attorney filed a motion to seal his sentencing memorandum “because it contains health records and other matters which should not be public domain.” The motion was granted.

Heywood Randall Brown BROWN, Heywood Randall, know to his friends as “Randy” passed away on Thursday, September 13, 2018 at the age of 68. Randy, a retired cosmetologist and avid gardener, will be forever remembered by his friends and family. He is survived by his sisters, Joan Brown, Patsy Weaver (and husband Dan), and Elaine Bruner.

election, Fain said 51 out of the organization’s 97 members cast ballots. Cheryll Fochtmann, Phyllis Kennedy, Vanessa Lynch Royal and Belyn Richardson were all elected, and they will begin their three-year terms Oct. 1. Of the four who were elected, Fain said Richardson is the only veteran member of the board. Her term expired, but she was re-elected. “We’re really looking forward to working with these individuals,” Fain said. “I think all

of them have an interest in the community and have shown an interest in the revitalization of downtown Wetumpka.” Additionally, Main Street Wetumpka recognized outgoing board member Natacha Graham, who he said will still serve in a volunteer capacity. Fain thanked Graham for her dedication to the organization and efforts in organizing local events. “She was instrumental, especially in helping us with our first Coosapalooza (Brewfest), and so forth,” Fain said.

Council L&L Roofing was chosen to receive the project at a bid of $80,100. Grier suggested the city add $4,000 to cover cost overruns. Weather permitting, Grier said repairs should begin immediately. Council members also voted in favor of amending items in its personnel policy, which will apply to all city departments. Currently, Benton said the policies and procedures manual forbids employees who have received a written warning within the past year or have been placed on disciplinary suspension within the past two years to apply for a vacant position in the city. He asked the stipulation barring employees who have a written warning be removed, and the two-year period for employees who have been placed on disciplinary suspension be reduced to one year. Benton also requested a schedule

for disciplinary action be placed in the manual to guide department supervisors through the disciplinary process. Benton said he saw a need for the rule change after two police officers went out to eat with another officer and were suspended for five days. Benton said this was in violation of a police memorandum seeking to avoid the appearance of having too many officers gathered in one place. “(They were) two very good employees, who otherwise would have been promoted. They were not able to be promoted,” Benton said. In other business, the council: • Declared several vehicles as surplus, to be sold at an auction in midOctober. •Authorized Willis to renew an agreement between the city and Revenue Discovery Services for business license discovery and recovery.

Arnett, Muldrow and Associates President Tripp Muldrow explains the different facets of the city that went into the logos and slogans of Main Street Wetumpka and the downtown area.

Branding was given by Arnett, Muldrow and Associates president Tripp Muldrow. Muldrow said the branding and the new slogans will demonstrate unity among the city’s different entities and instill pride in the downtown area. The slogan for the downtown area is “Love This Place,” and the slogan for Main Street Wetumpka is “We Can Together.” Muldrow said the Main Street Wetumpka slogan is a play on words inspired by the first two letters of the city’s name. He said the logos feature the Bibb Graves Bridge and the buildings downtown, and the colors represent the Coosa River and the city’s landscape.

“This is something that really helps identify who we are,” Main Street Wetumpka president Dennis Fain said. Stubbs and Fain said the branding was designed to highlight the city’s three main assets: arts, recreation and history. “They present it in a very vibrant, communicative way,” Fain said. “Essentially, we’re a treasure trove of these things. It’s something that some would pay good money to replicate, but they can’t, so we want to capitalize on these things,” Stubbs said. “We are a special place, and we’re going to look like a special place, sooner rather than later.”

More than 200 people attended the Wetumpka Chamber’s second annual Drawdown and Silent Auction and purchased tickets for a chance to win thousands of dollars.

Drawdown

Jonathan Yarboro, Joy Brown, Beth Roberts and Marcia Weber. Young said she was pleasantly surprised by the winners’ unanimous decision to divide the money. “That is just unheard of. I was shocked,” Young said. “That just goes to show you how nice people are in Wetumpka.” According to Purcell, the funds from the event will go toward continuing the operations of the Innovation Center building in downtown Wetumpka, which provides office space for fledgling entrepreneurs and is run by the chamber. “Right now, we are almost 100 percent occupied, with the exception of one space,” Purcell said. Purcell said this was the first year to have the event at Wind Creek, which enabled the chamber to capacitate more guests. “We have already surpassed last year’s attendance and the items for sale (in the auction) as well,” Purcell said. “What a great venue we’re in. We’re very grateful to Wind Creek’s hospitality for opening this place up for us.” Purcell said he was also grateful for the chamber’s staff and ambassadors for their help in hosting a successful event. “This is a very well-organized event,” Purcell said. “There is lots of effort, lots of help and lots of ambassadors working to help us get this done. It took many, many hands to get this done.”

drawdown tickets were sold, which is double the amount of last year’s event, and more than 100 items were bid on in the auction. According to Purcell, the Drawdown and Silent Auction is the chamber’s primary annual fundraiser. Purcell said the chamber set a goal to surpass last year’s total $15,000 total, and were successful. The fundraiser earned the chamber more than $16,000. Throughout the evening, the guests were eliminated until six stood the chance of winning $4,650. Instead of choosing to eliminate any more tickets, the winners elected to split the prize money, walking away with $775 each. “I don’t know if this has ever happened in the history of a drawdown,” Purcell said. One of the winners, Lenora Crowe, said she would rather share than leave with nothing after getting so close. “I’ve been at these things where someone’s like, ‘I’m going to the end,’ and their number is always the next to be called,” Crowe said. “It’s like bad karma or something.” Another winner, Ed Dykes, said he was happy to have gotten that far in the elimination process and also didn’t want to push his luck. “It feels pretty good. I’ve been to this before, and I’ve won money at both drawdowns,” Dykes said. “Something is better than nothing. We were all lucky enough to make it to the final round, so why get greedy?” The four other winners include

After 9/11, how unified are we? “D o you know where the director of student engagement is?” the man dressed as a hospital worker asked me on our campus. “We’d like to do a blood drive later this month.” As I walked him over to the office, I remarked, “We must be your smallest blood drive of the southeast.” He shook his head. “Actually, LaGrange College is one of our best places to have blood drives. You have three times as many blood donors as bigger universities.” “Per capita?” I inquired. He replied, “No, that’s in overall numbers.” After 9/11, our nation’s blood banks were overwhelmed by blood donors, each hoping to help our nation recover in some small way. Donations poured in. But was that a different time? Do we still see ourselves as linked by a common fate? Matt Baretto, Lorrie FrasureYokely, Edward Vargas and Janelle Wong wondered the same thing. Right after the 2016 election, they surveyed what percentage of Americans see themselves as having a “linked fate” that “affects us all.” Whatever post-9/11 spirit we had then may not be as strong as it once was. It was reassuring to see a little more than 60 percent agreed we do

JOHN TURES Columnist

have a common fate, with AfricanAmericans most likely to agree with the statement, followed by whites, Asian-Americans and Hispanics. But that’s still almost 40 percent who disagree, who see it as everyone for him or herself. Among those who agree with the statement “a lot,” again African-Americans led, followed by Hispanics, whites and Asian-Americans. Only about 30 percent of Americans see such unity as a big priority. At our church, our pastor and youth ministers organized a “Blessings in a Bookbag” where our church kids would pack meals for needy students to have a meal or two over the weekend. Turnout wasn’t too bad on a late Sunday afternoon, where kids gave up watching the NFL or playing video games to help students they’ll probably never meet. Do the kids “get it” in a way some adults might have forgotten? It was encouraging to attend the Auburn University football game last Saturday. The students and fans generally treated the visiting

Alabama State University fans pretty well, even cheering the ASU band with the same intensity as a “War Eagle” battle cry after each Auburn Tiger touchdown (that band was really that good!). But students told me a fraternity mocked ASU’s graduation rate in a classless pregame display. Moreover, as we debate the response to Hurricane Maria, I heard at a different school, some kids were claiming we shouldn’t help Puerto Rico because “they aren’t really Americans.” Not only is the statement false, but shouldn’t we be our brother’s keeper even if they weren’t Americans? Nearly 150 students packed into our presentation, discussion and prayers on 9/11 this year, in a room with seating for only 75. One student who spoke was moved to tears, saying how happy her dad in the armed forces would be if he could see the turnout and hear the students speak. I pray we don’t need another 9/11 tragedy to regain that spirit of unity, and to understand we share that common fate, no matter our race or ethnicity. John A.

Trump is right to protect Americans from ICC

hould an unaccountable United Nations court, created by a treaty to which the United States is not a signatory, and the Senate has not ratified, be allowed to investigate, try and imprison American citizens? Unfortunately, this is no longer a theoretical question. In November, the chief prosecutor of the International Criminal Court (ICC) at The Hague, Fatou Bensouda, announced she was seeking a formal investigation into alleged war crimes committed by U.S. military forces and CIA officers in Afghanistan. Bensouda — a Gambian lawyer who is answerable to no government or institution — claims unbridled power to investigate, charge and prosecute American citizens, no matter what the U.S. government says. A pretrial chamber of the court, made up of judges from Hungary, France and Benin, reportedly will approve her request in the coming days. Who gave these foreign magistrates the right to try U.S. citizens, whose government never assented to the court’s jurisdiction through our own democratic institutions? No one. And, yet, they are preparing to exercise this supranational power for the first time. That will not happen if the Trump administration has anything to say about it. In a speech this week to the Federalist Society, national security adviser John Bolton delivered a stark warning to the ICC: “If the court comes after us ... this administration will fight back to protect American constitutionalism, our sovereignty, and our citizens. No committee of foreign nations will tell us how to govern ourselves and defend our freedom.” Should the court act against U.S. citizens, Bolton said, the United States will bar ICC judges and prosecutors from entering the country, sanction

MARC THIESSEN Columnist their funds in the U.S. financial system and prosecute them in the American criminal-justice system. I know something about the ICC, because I was present at its creation. In 1998, as a staff member for the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, I attended the Rome conference where the treaty was negotiated. The committee’s chairman, Sen. Jesse Helms (R-N.C.) warned, unless checks were placed on the ICC prosecutor’s unfettered discretion to prosecute U.S. citizens — including a U.N. Security Council “screen” that would permit the United States to veto cases going forward — the Rome treaty would be “dead on arrival” in the Senate. When those protections were rejected, Helms introduced the “American Servicemembers’ Protection Act” to bar U.S. cooperation with the ICC and to punish the court for any efforts to prosecute Americans. The measure was approved in 2002 by a bipartisan 75-to-19 vote. So not only has the Senate not ratified the ICC treaty, it has explicitly authorized the president to use “all means necessary” — including military force ‚ to shield American citizens from ICC prosecution. We were told back then all of this was unnecessary, and the idea a rogue ICC prosecutor would ever go after Americans was ridiculous. The court would focus on grievous human-rights abuses by the world’s tyrants, not on democracies with robust and transparent legal systems capable of policing their own citizens. That was a lie. Not only is the ICC threatening

Americans, it has our democratic ally, Israel, in its crosshairs. In 2015, Bensouda opened a preliminary investigation of Israel for actions defending itself against Palestinian terrorist attacks in the West Bank and Gaza — despite the fact the court has no jurisdiction because Israel is not a party to the treaty, and because Palestinian territories cannot be a “state party” to the treaty considering they are not a “state.” In May, the Palestinian Authority’s foreign minister, Riyad al-Maliki, traveled to The Hague to hand over a criminal referral against Israel and to urge the court to indict and prosecute Israeli officials. The ICC is not just a threat to U.S. citizens and our democratic allies — it is a hindrance to democratic change. Since the end of the Cold War, almost every peaceful transition from dictatorship to democracy has involved some form of amnesty. The existence of the ICC makes it more difficult to convince dictators to step down, because the option of safety in exile has effectively been eliminated. Without a credible guarantee they will remain unmolested abroad, dictators may well decide they are better off holed up in their palaces. The lesson to tyrants such as Venezuela’s Nicols Maduro, Nicaragua’s Daniel Ortega, or Iran’s ayatollahs is clear: If the people rise up, it is safer to fire on the crowds than to flee. By taking on the ICC, the Trump administration is not just protecting U.S. citizens and American sovereignty — it is striking a blow for democracy across the world.

New ECTC programs receive $19,000 donation By AMALIA KORTRIGHT Bureau Chief

A $19,000 contribution from Rep. Mike Holmes came as a welcome surprise to the Elmore County Technical Center on Sept. 4, according to Director Jimmy Hull. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were not expecting it. I think (Superintendent Richard) Dennis contacted me that morning and said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got this going on, and the moneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to come to you,â&#x20AC;? Hull said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a great surprise, and we are much appreciative.â&#x20AC;? Hull said they received the funds on Sept. 4, and they will go toward the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s two newest programs, HVAC and aviation, which started at the beginning of the academic year. Currently, he said roughly 25 students are enrolled in each program. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Both of those programs have expensive startups, as far as equipment that we need for the kids to be able to use,â&#x20AC;? Hull said. Hull described the equipment the ECTC plans to buy as â&#x20AC;&#x153;once-in-along-period-of-time kind of purchases that will give students real-world experience. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to have is equipment that the students can use to train in as authentic as possible, real world, real job type experiences,â&#x20AC;? Hull said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If they do decide to pursue these programs as careers, they will come in with some background, some experience and some idea of what

State Rep. Mike Holmes presents a $19,000 check to Elmore County Superintendent Richard Dennis and Career Technical Director Jimmy Hull. According to Hull, the money will go toward purchasing equipment for the Elmore County Technical Centerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recently-established HVAC and aviation programs.

theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re supposed to do.â&#x20AC;? For the HVAC program, Hull said they plan to purchase air conditioning units that can be programmed by instructors to have faults in them. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The student has to walk through steps to identify where the fault is and why is the unit not working,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are procedures that they have to go through, and (the instructor) can change it up and make it different every time.â&#x20AC;? For the aviation program, Hull said some of the donation money may go toward buying simulation equipment and aircraft parts that students can work on.

Hull thanked Holmes for the donation, as well his ongoing efforts to promote career technical education in the county and throughout the state. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mr. Holmes has always been very supportive of our programs here at the technical center, and has helped us in our growth over the last few years,â&#x20AC;? Hull said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s donated his time, and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been able to take students out to him during career tech month to visit with him and talk about issues, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s donated flags to us, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s donated money to us. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always been a great supporter of technical education in the county, and really, all the schools in general.â&#x20AC;?

Bass

A Deatsville man was recently jailed on charges of rape in the second degree and sodomy in the second degree. Trederious Rayshod Henderson, 18, who lists an address on Wesley Drive, was arrested by the Millbrook Police on Aug. 29. According to police, Henderson allegedly had sexual relations with a juvenile under the age of 16, which is the state of Alabamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s legal age of consent. Out of respect for the victim, Millbrook Police Chief P.K. Johnson did not Henderson provide additional details. Both second degree rape and second degree sodomy are Class B felonies, which can be penalized by up to 20 years in prison and a maximum fine of $30,000. Henderson was booked into the Elmore County Jail on bonds totaling $10,000. He was released on bail during the day of his arrest. His case was assigned to Elmore County District Court Judge Glenn Goggans.

Upon discovering that the Urgent Care had closed early, she left to return home, but never made it. Cochran said Merrittâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s death was 100 percent preventable. He said Bass had been driving at almost 100 mph in response to a call from a gas station on Redland Road about an intoxicated driver, which was not an emergency situation. While Cochran said he respects police officers, he urged the jury to not allow Bassâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; former position as a police officer affect their judgment. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Just because heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a police officer, it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t put him above the law,â&#x20AC;?

Cochran said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Even if theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing their job and responding to a call, they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get to drive recklessly.â&#x20AC;? Bassâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; defense attorney, W. Kendrick James, said Merrittâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s death was a tragedy, but not a crime, and encouraged jurors to not let their sympathies for Merrittâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family cloud their judgment. James urged jurors to consider Bassâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; family when reaching a verdict, and described him as a son, husband, father and brother. At the time of the wreck, James said Bass had no intentions of causing harm. James said Bass had been trying to prevent traffic accidents caused by an intoxicated driver, which he referred to as â&#x20AC;&#x153;a cruel twist of fate.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;He wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t going out to lunch with

James asked that jurors hold the prosecutionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;feet to the fire,â&#x20AC;? to prove each statement, and said he expects that the evidence will prove that Bass is innocent. State Trooper Mary Ann Church, who had been working as a traffic homicide investigator and a highway patrol officer at the time, said the Bassâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; cruiser hit the driversâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; side of Merrittâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s car, causing it to go airborne and spin. After Merrittâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s car landed, Church said Bassâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; cruiser hit the passengersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; side. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was such an impact that the

Ghostly activity investigated at chamber, Lancaster Hotel stairs. She also said the Lancaster Hotel served as a brothel. Millbrook resident Amanda Haynes, who came with her boyfriend, said she has always had a fascination with the paranormal. Haynes said she was especially interested in the Lancaster Hotel. “I’ve never actually been on an investigation, myself, so when I saw on Facebook they were doing it, I was absolutely in,” Haynes said. “I had a great time, and I experienced things that I never had before.” Harper said she was pleased by the high turnout at the investigation, which she said indicated an interest in the paranormal among the community. “It’s encouraging, knowing that people are interested in learning more about the paranormal,” Harper said. “Even though everything that happens doesn’t have a paranormal reason, it’s fun to explore.” According to Young, the investigation was a precursor to the chamber’s third annual Haunted History Tours, which are slated for Oct. 24 through 27. Because more people had expressed interest in the open investigation than they were able to accommodate, Young said she expects that this year’s tours will be especially popular. “We had 250 people that said that they wanted to come to this, but couldn’t because we limited it to 20 people, so I have a feeling Haunted History is going to be through the roof,” Young said. “We should have five tour guides that can take at least 30 people.”

River Region Paranormal and Redland Paranormal teamed up to host an open paranormal investigation of the Wetumpka Area Chamber of Commerce building and the now-vacant Lancaster Hotel. River Region Paranormal member and Wetumpka chamber associate director Jamie Young said the investigation was engaging and interesting. “I think it went really, really well, as far as interaction with the crowd and everybody partaking,” Young said. During the investigation, visitors split into three groups to tour the two buildings. Several different types of equipment were set up, including flashlights that seemed to frequently turn on and off by themselves. Young said the flashlights had not been tampered with. “That was completely spirit-related,” Young said. “Usually, that happens all the time at the chamber. Tonight was pretty quiet, and I think it was because of storm activity, but the Lancaster picked up and we had a lot of activity there.” Redland Paranormal member Bridgette Harper said her group saw a heavy amount of ghostly activity throughout the night. “The really cool thing is that people on the investigation could feel the difference in the interactions from the Lancaster and the chamber,” Harper

said. “It was like a different energy.” Harper said the other groups had moderate and low levels of activity, which she believes is because of the size and energy of each group. “Our group interacted well, and we were talking and laughing quite a bit,” Harper said. “What we found was, at the beginning, we didn’t have a whole lot of activity. But as we just sat and talked and laughed, K2 (electromagnetic frequency meters) and flashlights would

begin going off, almost like they were engaged in the everyday life stories we were sharing.” Young said the chamber’s building was originally built as the Bank of Wetumpka, and is believed to be frequented by the spirits of the first bank president and a little girl who is believed to be his daughter. At the Lancaster Hotel, Young said a bride broke her neck and died after she tripped over her veil and fell down the

Assisted Living Week celebrates Gardens of Wetumpka residents By AMALIA KORTRIGHT Bureau Chief

Last week held an abundance of activities for residents of Gardens of Wetumpka, who celebrated National Assisted Living Week. Gardens of Wetumpka administrator Patsy McGough said the theme of this year’s Assisted Living Week was “Capture the Moment,” which served as a reminder to appreciate the good times and count blessings. She also said Assisted Living Week celebrates the senior citizens who have found a permanent home for the rest of their lives. “It’s a place where they can socialize, do activities, keep their minds very strong and enjoy their lives, dayto-day, moment-tomoment,” McGough said. “So many of us think about the days, but for them, just the happy moments are so joyful and so precious, and they remember that.” Throughout the week, McGough said Gardens of Wetumpka held Grandparents Day, an award ceremony, a worship service, a grape juice and cheese social, a tea party, a

car show and Family Day. McGough said the assisted living facility saw many visitors throughout the week, and many of the activities involved the community’s help. “We’ve had great support from our neighbors here in the community. Families are always wonderful, and we always have great support from them,” McGough said. “Everybody’s had a lot of fun.” Resident Nita Royall described the week as busy, but said she enjoyed it. “We’ve played. We’ve worked. We’ve done about everything.

We tried to get our rooms looking nice in case everybody showed up,” she said. “This is a wonderful place.” As a self-described “porch sitter,” Royall said she appreciated many of the activities allowed her to sit outside and make new friends. “My favorite activity was sitting on the porch, greeting the visitors. I love meeting new people,” Royall said. “The weather’s been nice.” On Friday, Wetumpka Mayor Jerry Willis presented a proclamation to honor the residents for their knowledge, experience

and past contributions. “You people are the ones that have laid the groundwork and set the wheels in place for the ones like me and the ones younger than me that are coming along today,” Willis said. “It’s because of you that we are able to do the things that we do in our country and in our city today.” The proclamation said the residents are a vital part of the city’s “rich” history and their involvement in the community “deepens” the city’s identity. It also urged community members to volunteer and visit local assisted living facilities.

A Millbrook man was arrested Tuesday after he allegedly raped an underage victim. Le’Joe Reese, 39, who lists an address on Brookwood Drive, was arrested by the Elmore County Sheriff’s Office and charged with rape in the first degree. According to deputies, Reese allegedly “forcibly” raped a juvenile under the age of 16, which resulted in the victim becoming pregnant. Investigator Chris Ogden said an investigation was launched in May, during the victim’s Reese pregnancy. Once the victim’s child was born, he said a DNA comparison indicated that Reese is the child’s biological father. First-degree rape is a Class A felony. Reese could serve a maximum sentence of life in prison and owe up to $60,000 in fines if convicted. As of Thursday, Reese remained in the Elmore County Jail on a $15,000 bond. His case was assigned to Elmore County District Court Judge Glenn Goggans.

THE WETUMPKA HERALD

Not one

encourage people to read their Bible every day, asking God to incline their hearts and open their eyes to see wonderful things in God’s word. But I must admit that some of the daily readings are more interesting and inspiring than others. Do you find this to be true for you, too? For example, a couple of months ago I was reading in the second half of Joshua. Now the first half of Joshua is exciting— Joshua becomes Israel’s new leader; they cross the Jordan on dry ground. The walls of Jericho fall. Then the cities of Canaan fall one by one as God gives them victory over their enemies in battle after battle. But in the second half, the stories of conflict and conquest are replaced by an account of the divisions of the land among the tribes and clans. I understand how the material was relevant and important to those people receiving their allotment of the promised land. I see why it mattered to their descendants. But reading about

it today is like reading legal property descriptions, titles and deeds in the musty old record books in the basement of the county courthouse. It’s important information, but it’s not very interesting. It’s not our property, and it was a long time ago. Am I the only one whose mind could wander while reading those descriptions? I admit my mind wandered as I sipped my early morning coffee and let the words roll past my eyes without much mental connection. Then after all the cities and pasture-lands and allotments and hard to pronounce names of faraway places and people, the light came on when I came to this: “Thus the Lord gave to Israel all the land that he swore to give to their fathers. And they took possession of it, and they settled there. And the Lord gave them rest on every side just as he had sworn to their fathers. Not one of all their enemies had withstood them, for the Lord had given all

MIKE MCELROY East Tallassee Church of Christ their enemies into their hands. Not one word of all the good promises that the Lord had made to the house of Israel had failed; all came to pass” (Joshua 20:4345). Centuries had passed since God promised their ancestor Abraham that he would do this. Decades had passed since God brought their parents out of Egypt. But the Lord finally brought Israel into the land of Canaan. He gave it to them, and gave them rest in it, just as he had promised. But the part that really caught my eye was the double “not one.” Did you notice it? “Not one of all their enemies had withstood them... Not one word of all the good promises...failed.”

“Not one” enemy had prevailed against the Israelites. They had encountered many enemies as they moved into and conquered the land. Joshua chapter 12 names 31 Canaanite kings who were defeated. There were no exceptions to what God said would happen. “Not one” word of all God’s promises failed. Joshua led Israel during a time of transition and new experiences for the people. Their parents were the Exodus generation, slaves delivered from Egypt by God’s power. With the exception of Joshua and Caleb, everyone in the group that entered Canaan had either been very young at the time of the Exodus, or had been born in the wilderness in the past 40 years. Now they were settling down to live free in their own land, no longer slaves, no longer wanderers. Whatever God promised came to pass. God’s word was sure and accurate, from the big picture to the specific details. The Israelites

had the best possible guarantee of success—promises made by a God who cannot lie. When God said it, it happened. What’s the lesson for us? Passing time, scary enemies and challenging new situations have no effect on God’s word. He is outside of time and bigger than any threat his people face. In a changing world, God’s people can trust his sure promises. Do you sometimes doubt God’s promises? Which ones, and why? Do you trust the promise of forgiveness in Christ? Do you believe that he will never leave you or forsake you? Do you rest assured that he will provide for your needs? Remember, not one enemy withstood. Not one word failed. Trust him. As Paul reminded us about Jesus, “All the promises of God find their ‘Yes’ in him” (2 Corinthians 1:20). Mike McElroy is a regular faith columnist for Tallapoosa Publishers.

The Bucks have scored only 25 points this season and have been shut out twice in the last three weeks. Jaylon Dixon and Dolphus Harris are the only two players with touchdowns for Buckhorn this season. “They’re a flexbone and ballcontrol type of offense which we don’t see a lot so it concerns us a little bit,” Perry said. “To see something out of the ordinary like this, it’ll be an adjustment for our defense.” A big reason points come at a premium in Buckhorn’s games is See INDIANS • Page B3

By GRIFFIN PRITCHARD For The Herald

Behind big hitters Alissa Evans and Taylor Roland, the Stanhope Elmore Mustangs picked up an early area victory over the homestanding Wetumpka Indians last Tuesday night. The Mustangs jumped out to a 2-0 lead with a 25-14 victory in the first game and then a 25-17 victory in Game 2. The Tribe rallied back to pick up a 26-24 win in the third game then threatened in the fourth before a net violation against the Indians ended the match, 26-24. “One of our goals this year has been to win area, so we came in tonight with that mindset,” Mustang coach Virginia Barber said. “We had some iffy times, but the girls played well together.” Roland led the Mustangs with 26 assists, 12 digs and was a perfect 17-for17 on serves. Evans scored on 11 kills. Lotte Preusser and McKayla Wilson had a combined 20 digs that either led to eventual points or kept volleys alive. Caroline Tyler led the Tribe with six aces and 30 assists. “I think we made a lot of minor mistakes that can be corrected,” Wetumpka coach Margo Thomas said. “I think we played with confidence, but it’s just the small things we need to work on, consistency.” In the first game of the best-of-five area showdown, the Mustangs jumped ahead 10-4 then 17-7. Ryleigh Hamm, who had eight kills over the four games, tapped a return just over the net and to the floor to stymie an 11-point Mustangs rally. Preusser scored on the next serve to bring the point back to the Millbrook side. Stanhope Elmore pushed ahead by 10 points en route to the 25-14 victory. The two teams battled to a 7-7 tie to start the second game. The Mustangs went on a 5-0 run to take a 12-7 lead that was interrupted by an errant serve into the net. Avery Jones scored on a cross-court kill to bring the serve back to the Wetumpka side of the court. The momentum, however, was short lived and the Mustangs went back on the offensive outscoring their rivals 12-7 for the win. The Indians battled back in Game 3. “I think they made some adjustments,” Barber said. “I don’t think our game changed.” Thomas answered: “I wouldn’t say that we made adjustments, we just did the same thing we’d been doing just played better defense and started communicating better. We started getting to our spots faster.” In the fourth game, the Indians and Mustangs played to a tie again. Wetumpka pushed ahead 24-23. “We had to make more adjustments,” Barber said. Stanhope Elmore answered 24-24 then pushed ahead 25-24 after an errant serve. The game ended on a net violation giving the Mustangs the 26-24 victory. Yennifer Gomez added a quartet of kills and Erin Douglas posted four assists in the loss. With a return trip in Millbrook on the schedule and matches against Selma (the third team in Class 6A Area 5) on the horizon, both Barber and Thomas feel good See AREA • Page B3

Panthers look to extend streak against Holtville By CALEB TURRENTINE Sports Writer

Elmore County and Holtville will renew their cross-county rivalry Friday night when the Bulldogs visit Burt-Haynie Field. Both teams are sitting with a 2-1 overall record and a 1-1 record in Class 4A Region 4. Elmore County has won seven straight games against Holtville and 16 of the last 18 meetings. Last season, the Panthers got 256 yards and four touchdowns from DJ Patrick in a 30-28 victory. Patrick scored two touchdowns in the fourth quarter for the win. “We were close last year to breaking that streak against Elmore County but we didn’t make enough plays at the end

got a big performance from backup quarterback Braxton Buck in the victory. Buck will be expected to get the start again this week with Drake Baker’s status still unknown due to an elbow injury. Franklin said there is a lot of excitement around the program right now despite the injury. “Our fans are excited because they have not gotten to see that much over the last few years,” Franklin said. “I think our guys fed off of that. That was just an overall positive thing for our program moving forward.” Even with the excitement, the Bulldogs will have to find a way to break the streak against their rivals.

Mustangs finish home stand against Shades Valley

CALEB TURRENTINE Sports Writer

By CALEB TURRENTINE Sports Writer

Are we witnessing Nick Saban’s best team in Alabama?

fter three weeks of college football, overreactions are flying in every direction for every school. Is Ed Orgeron actually a genius? Was Baker Mayfield even that good or can anyone play quarterback at Oklahoma? And will anyone even challenge Alabama this season? These types of things are questioned during September of every season. And while most of them are proven to be a little crazy before the end of the season, what if some them are real? What if this Alabama team is actually unstoppable? The Crimson Tide are off to a historic start. This season’s squad is the first team in the history of the SEC to score at least 50 points in each of its first three games. It has an average margin of victory of 47.3 points per game and that’s against one ACC opponent, one Sun Belt opponent and one SEC opponent. That is likely not going to hold up but the number is well on its way to topping the record for a Nick Saban team. A 27.8-point margin of victory record was set by the 2012 Crimson Tide. Alabama has seemingly found a cheat code for its offense with Tua Tagovailoa. The sophomore is one of the favorites for this year’s Heisman Trophy and has been nearly perfect to start the season. His 72 percent pass accuracy is already the highest for any Alabama quarterback with at least 50 pass attempts in a single season. He has had the help of a receiving core led by Jerry Jeudy. He already has six receiving touchdowns, which is the most by an Alabama receiver in the first three games of the season. In fact, during Amari Cooper’s recordsetting, 16-touchdown season, he never had a three-game span with six receiving touchdowns. With the success of the air attack, the Tide have not had to rely on their rushing attack as much but that does not mean the backs are slacking off. Leading rushers Najee Harris and Damien Harris have combined to average 7.1 yards per carry. Their average is currently higher than Saban’s best backfield duo of T.J. Yeldon and Kenyan Drake, who averaged 6.5 yards per carry in 2013. Defensively, the Crimson Tide have forced two turnovers per game. That ranks second among Saban-coached teams in Tuscaloosa, just behind the 2.2 per game that the 2009 team forced. And that squad was Saban’s only undefeated team in his coaching career.

Stanhope Elmore will play at home for the fourth consecutive week when it hosts Shades Valley for the school’s homecoming Friday night. The Mustangs are coming off backto-back region victories at home and coach Brian Bradford said the environment has helped the buzz around the program. “Everything has a lot of excitement right now,” Bradford said. “We’re starting to get our confidence back so there’s just a lot of good energy around the team and around the community.” The Mustangs are now 3-1, which is the team’s best start since 2012. Bradford said it’s a much better feeling than last season’s 0-3 start but the team is not satisfied with its early success. “This is a good start but we want to go further,” Bradford said. Stanhope’s success has started on the defensive side of the ball this season. The Mustangs have allowed 11.3 points per game this season, which would be the program’s lowest mark for a season since 1993. Shades Valley (1-2) will enter Friday night’s game averaging 16.3 points per game this season. However, the Mounties are coming off of a 35-18 win at Huffman behind a 403-yard rushing performance. Stanhope’s

defense will have to rise to the challenge and Bradford thinks his players are in a good spot to be ready for it. “They’re playing good, sound defense right now and they’re playing aggressive,” Bradford said. “They’re taking control of the game and taking a lot of pressure off the offense.” Shades Valley lost its first two games of the season to Jackson-Olin and Pinson Valley, two of the top-ranked teams in Class 6A. The Mounties fell behind early in both games and could not use their rushing attack to erase the deficits.

Bradford said Shades Valley is a better team than its record indicates but its success is directly related to the rushing attack. “They’re a very athletic football team,” Bradford said. “Last week, they went back to running the football and they’re a much better team when they’re running the ball.” Antonio Williams rushed for 281 yards and three touchdowns in the win over Huffman. Quarterback Isaac Sims added 77 yards on the ground to go along with 48 yards and a touchdown in the passing

The BFL is expecting up to 400 boaters and co-anglers to compete for the top cash prizes. The reward for first place in the professional category is $11,000 while the prize for winning the co-angler division is $4,500. Local anglers Johnathan Stuckey (Tallassee), Jason Nixon (Wetumpka) and Dusty Robinson (Eclectic) are in the mix to take over the top spot for the Bama Division this season. The event will begin 6:30 a.m. Saturday at Bonners Point Ramp with weigh-ins beginning at the same location at 2:30 p.m. each day.

game. Sims also had a 7-yard touchdown reception. The Mustangs will hope to take an early lead over the visitors to force them out of the rushing attack. “It’s important to get teams outside of what they do so we want to do that every game,” Bradford said. Stanhope Elmore has allowed 100 rushing yards just once this season, giving up 101 yards on the ground during the 19-16 loss to Prattville. If the Mustangs can keep the visiting rushers below the century mark, it will be a big step toward earning a win.

At Saturday’s Spain Park Cross Country Classic, Cory Anthony finished second out of 294 runners in the boys varsity 5K race. The Wetumpka senior ran the Veterans Park course in 17:17.69, finishing 20 seconds behind Spain Park’s Jacob Warner. Wetumpka’s Brennan Worrell added another top-50 finish to his season, clocking in at 19:49.85 and finishing 46th overall. Jackson Walden and Isaac Stubbs also finished in the top 100. As a team, Wetumpka had an average running time of 19:57 and finished ninth out of 33 teams. Stanhope Elmore was led by Freddy Patton, who ran the course in 18:56.54 and finished 28th overall. Tajairus Brown, Keegan Rafferty and Sean Rattan also had top-100 finishes for the Mustangs. The team finished 11th with an average course time of 20:28. The Wetumpka girls teams had its best showing of the season. Hannah Bunn-Munck finished 46th with a time of 25:12.00. Sophia Rawls and Ella Watson,

both of whom are in the seventh grade, finished with times under 26 minutes. The team was ninth of 22 total teams and had an average time of 26:02.

VOLLEYBALL Edgewood beats top-ranked Knights in road showdown

The Edgewood volleyball team extended its winning streak with a road victory against No. 1 Macon East last week. The Wildcats finished the match in four sets behind a huge performance from Avery Roberts. Edgewood, which is currently ranked No. 2 in AISA, defeated the Knights 25-20, 21-25, 25-12, 25-23. Roberts led the team with 13 kills and seven blocks while connecting on all seven service attempts along with one ace. CJ Weldon finished with four aces and had a perfect percentage on 22 service attempts. Madison White led the team with 53 assists in the match while Katie Roberts had a team-high 10 blocks. Edgewood (13-1) continued its strong week with dominant performances against Success Unlimited and Fort Dale Academy.

Rivalry knows his team is up against the odds but Holtville has embraced the role. “We’re going to be the underdog because that’s the way things are,” Franklin said. “People don’t believe things are changing. There are a lot of doubters that don’t think this team is improved.” Elmore County is coming off its first loss of the season, falling at Talladega 47-21. Patrick still found the end zone for his eighth touchdown of the season. He is averaging 173.3 rushing yards per game this season and 9.6 yards per carry. “He was the difference in the ballgame last year. They had other guys in other roles but I think he was the deciding factor,” Franklin said. “You’re probably not going to stop him but we get to the football really well. We get to it with an authority that’s a little different

than last year. He’s too good of a player to stop him but maybe we can slow him down.” The Panthers will return home, where they defeated Leeds two weeks ago. The team has won three of its last four games in Eclectic. “Being back home is great but this week, we’re looking for effort,” Elmore County coach Jordan Cantrell said. “We’ve got to have more effort in all phases of the game. That’s what we’re pushing this week.” Elmore County is looking to break its own streak as it closes in on the program’s first playoff appearance since 2011. “Our team has put in a lot of good work to this point but we still have a lot of work to do,” Cantrell said. “We’re proud of how the guys have responded but we have to keep working and not be complacent.”

Indians

because of the style of offense. The Bucks will look to control the time of possession while rushing on a majority of their plays. Wetumpka (4-0) has a short week to prepare for the different offense and that’s what could concern the coaches. “With an option offense, you have to play assignment defense so there’s a high risk defensively,” Perry said. “If one player fails to get their assignment, then it can be a big play.” The Bucks play aggressively on the defensive side of the ball, not allowing more than 21 points in a game. They have allowed just 17.3 ppg this season. Perry said Buckhorn will often use blitzes so the offensive line will be a key for the success of the offense. “We need to keep trying to execute our offense at a high level,” Perry said. “We have to eliminate a lot of penalties when we’re hurting ourselves at crucial times. We need to be a little bit more consistent to finish off drives. Our goal is to get points on every possession.” Wetumpka’s offense has been a strength again this season behind the play of quarterback Tyquan Rawls. The Indians have scored at least 30 points in every game this season, averaging 36.5 ppg. The rushing attack may help slow down some of the blitzes from the Bucks which will open up situations for Rawls to find his receivers for deep passes.

something different today, to play for somebody and they did. They know the meaning behind this.” Both Carrie Ward and Trina Stephens, who both have daughters on the junior high volleyball team, were on hand to receive a bouquet of flowers and recognition from a full crowd at the Stanhope Elmore gym. Yvette Johnson was also honored but couldn’t attend. After the three were recognized on the court, the PA announcer allowed time for a moment of silence for all other friends and relatives who had died from cancer. Both teams were pink on their uniforms while Stanhope wore jerseys with “Together We Are Stronger” written on the front. Donations were accepted at a table at the front of the gym. According to Barber, the game raised $337, which would be split between the three families. “We do a pink out game with Tallassee in October,” Barber said. “So, when we found out we had all of this going on, we asked if they would help us out this year on our end.” After the pre-match events, there was still volleyball to be played and Stanhope got off to a quick start. The Mustangs took the first set 25-17

without ever trailing. Tallassee responded with a dominant performance in the second set. After rallies resulted in several lead changes, the visitors held a 12-10 lead on a kill by Lexi Love. The Tigers used a 14-4 run to finish the set and force a decisive third set. After falling behind 6-5 in the final set, the Mustangs scored seven consecutive points, including two kills from Gabbi Taylor. Stanhope Elmore finished off the match, winning the set 15-10. “I was just out there trying to keep my team up out there,” Taylor said, “trying to keep the energy going so we could win as a team.” The match was the first of three matches for Stanhope during homecoming week. The Mustangs improved to 5-1 on the season with the victory. “It’s a busy week with homecoming activities and different things going on,” Barber said. “So, we just have to stay focused when we get on the court.” Lotte Preusser led the Mustangs with 11 kills, including two in the final set. White was the team’s leading server, connecting on all 17 service attempts.

Alisson Evans led the team with four blocks to go along with four kills. The loss dropped Tallassee to 2-2 on the season. Jordan Walters finished with a team-high five kills and had two aces for the Tigers.

Edgewood

recognition but said playing against the bigger teams has helped them. “If we were to beat Macon-East, that would solidify a winning record against the AAA schools and that’d be huge for our guys and for the program,” Free said. Edgewood can also clinch a winning record at home for the regular season with a win. The Wildcats would improve to 3-1 at Edgewood Stadium and while every team likes playing at home, they have their goals set elsewhere. “From the outside looking in, that’s big to a lot of people, probably more for the fan base than it is for the team,” Free said. “We don’t try to get carried away with milestones along the way. It would

be great, absolutely, but I would not put that as a priority on our list.” Macon-East (3-1) is coming off a 10-8 loss to Pike Liberal Arts. Brock Taunton led the Knights with 114 yards of offense and scored the team’s only touchdown. “They’re a very talented team,” Free said. “They are more of a passing team and using the read option. They’re great at what they do because they’re verywell coached.” The Knights run an offensive scheme using run-pass option plays and led by quarterback Tucker Neven. In the team’s last win, Neven passed for 289 yards and four touchdowns. Edgewood has yet to face the style of offense so far this

season. “It’s different and it makes it an extra challenge since we’re coming into a short week,” Free said. “We have one less day to get ready for it. It’s going to be a huge challenge to revamp what we do defensively and maybe change some personnel to accommodate what they like to do.” The Wildcats will look to establish its rushing attack and it starts up front. Free said he is ready to see how his offensive line will do against the Knights. “We’re looking forward to the battle in the trenches,” Free said. “That battle will help determine the outcome of the game.”

Turrentine It does not matter which of Saban’s teams is the best but there is still one thing Alabama hasn’t reached during his 12-year tenure: a 15-0 season. Since the College Football Playoff was introduced, an extra game was added for a team to win a national championship. Alabama has gone 14-1 in both seasons

when it won the playoff. No NCAA FBS Division I-A team has ever gone 15-0 in the history of college football. As with every season, Alabama will likely find its biggest challenges in November with games against LSU and Auburn. Those are two defenses that could provide enough problems with their pass

rush to disrupt this terrifying offense. However, with the start the Crimson Tide have had, it would not be crazy to think this is the year we see history being made. Almost every aspect of this team appears to be setting a new record for the Saban era. Last week, Alabama posted a 62-7 win in a

Buck efficient, running the offense well and making some big throws when we needed it. I couldn’t have been prouder of the way he played that night.” Buck’s performance led the Bulldogs to their Buck first region win since 2013, ending a 29-game losing streak against region foes. Buck said he always has nerves before a football game but his teammates helped keep him calm before the game began. Buck said it did not take long to find some confidence once he hit the field. The sophomore connected with Drew Nobles for a 65-yard pass down the home sideline early in the game. Buck said seeing the crowd fired up helped him perform the way he did. “We have a really great fanbase and

stadium that had given Saban teams of the past plenty of troubles. There is something different about this year’s team. If you’re an Alabama fan, enjoy it. If you’re not, maybe you should start watching some baseball instead. Caleb Turrentine is a sports writer for The Herald.

they just kept encouraging me,” Buck said. “And it’s a good feeling when you have teammates catching the passes to help you out.” Nobles was one of four receivers to catch a touchdown pass from Buck. JaDarius Carter and JaDerrick Carter each had one while Peyton Cox added a 21-yard score. “He made some good throws and his teammates were making the catches for him and that was huge,” Franklin said. “The other team was trying to bring pressure but Braxton was able to put the ball where his guys can catch it and they did. He made some plays early and the confidence level was high. They trusted him.” Buck has seen playing time in every game this season but the game against Childersburg was his first career start for varsity. This season, Buck has completed 62.5 percent of his passes for

299 yards with six touchdowns and zero interceptions. The Bulldogs had not scored 35 points in a region game since their 2011 win over Childersburg. Buck said the team played well as a whole, giving credit to the offensive line and the coaching staff as well. However, Franklin knew Buck was at the center of that offensive success. “He led our team and had great poise all night,” Franklin said. “I never saw him get rattled. We were able to move the ball well and put some points on the board.” With Baker’s status still being unknown, the Bulldogs continue to prepare Buck for more playing time. Holtville travels to Elmore County this week in attempt to end a seven-game losing streak in the rivalry. And if Buck’s first start was any indication, he’s ready to start a new chapter for Holtville football.

about where their squads are heading into the second half of the season. “I think it’s going to take consistency - a lot of practice and repetition,” said Thomas. “We’ve got the personnel we need to be successful, we just need to communicate better and focus on improving the little things.” Barber - who had her squad doing cross fit burpees after Tuesday’s match for the number of times they miscommunicated on the floor has set the bar high going forward. “This is when it gets exciting,” said Barber. “I think we are starting to play together. I tell them all the time that everybody has a role. [Tuesday night] every one played a role, by staying up. But that’s what the focus is: Team.”

“I don’t just want to go to state but I want to make history,” Loftin said. “Go undefeated, put up the most yards, the most points, the most rushing yards. I want to be able to write our legacy here.” Loftin is in his third Loftin season as a starting member of the offensive line for Wetumpka. After an injury cut his sophomore season short, Loftin returned stronger and has started at left tackle for the last two seasons. Wetumpka has averaged 39.9 points per game since the start of the 2017 season. Most of the team’s offense has come through the rushing attack. Kavosiey Smoke, who is now at Kentucky, rushed for 1,508 yards and 28 touchdowns during Loftin’s first full season as a starter. This year, Wetumpka has rushed for 1,295 yards and 14 touchdowns as a team in just four games. “He’s a big reason why we have had the high number of rushing yards that we have had going back to his sophomore year,” Wetumpka coach Tim Perry said. “He has a high football IQ with quick hands and quick feet that helps his ability to block.” Loftin said run blocking is his favorite aspect of the game. Wetumpka often likes to run behind the left side of the offensive line with Loftin and fellow senior Cody Tucker leading the way. Loftin said confidence of the coaching staff helps push him to be better. “That’s the best part of what we do,” Loftin said. “We get out front so our backs can bust through or our quarterback can take off. It’s a great feeling.” The rushing attack has gotten plenty of help from quarterbacks JD Martin and Tyquan Rawls over the last two years. Loftin said they have taken the pressure off of the offensive linemen, specifically in the pass blocking. “It’s nice when you have a quarterback that’s elusive enough to make something out of nothing if you let a guy through,” Loftin said. “I always knew what to do for JD, we had a connection. I haven’t mastered it with Tyquan yet but we’ll get there eventually.” Before the season began, Loftin was named as one of six captains for the team. The senior said it was his No. 1 individual goal for the year so it meant a lot to see his teammates select him. “That has been the best part of my senior season so far,” Loftin said. “It’s amazing what we have been able to do and it’s good to know my guys were looking up to me and believing in what I was trying to tell them.” Loftin was called on to use his new leadership role early in the season. Martin went down with an injury and Rawls had to step into a spot with high expectations just days before the first game of the season. Loftin said he talked to Rawls the morning of the season opener and told the new quarterback it was okay to be nervous and the offensive line would make sure to have his back if anything went wrong. “I talked to him a lot to take some of the pressure off and let him know that we’re going to take care of him,” Loftin said. Perry said the senior has always been a good teammate and is well-known throughout the school and community. “He has a very outgoing personality,” Perry said. “He’s engaging and makes friends everywhere. He has a great work ethic and is just a great leader. He’s even well respected by all the teachers and faculty.” Loftin is still unsure about his football career after high school but Perry said he has the capability at the next level. Loftin said he wants to play in college but is waiting on the opportunity to present itself. Until it does, Loftin said he will play his hardest and push himself to find an offer at a Division I program. “I have the type of mindset that if you put me anywhere, I’m going to shine, no matter what the circumstances are,” Loftin said.

Smith

rushed for 70 yards and two touchdowns in Troy’s 24-19 win at Nebraska last weekend. Smith’s 26-yard touchdown run with 6:45 to go in the game was the difference for the Trojans. It was the first two-score game of Smith’s collegiate career. The former Stanhope Elmore star is up to four rushing touchdowns on the season, scoring at least once in Troy’s first three games. Smith has helped Troy to a 2-1 record this season. The team will travel to Louisiana Monroe this weekend to begin conference play.

Postcard exhibit features local and state history

Bark in the Park draws hundreds of dogs, pet owners

By AMALIA KORTRIGHT Bureau Chief

The Wade Hall Traveling Postcard Exhibition is currently on display at the Wetumpka Public Library. Library Director Susan Hayes said the exhibition consists of about 5,000 postcards from throughout Alabama, collected by deltiologist and Troy University alumnus Wade Hall. Hayes said many of the postcards concentrate on significant state buildings and landmarks. The 5,000 Alabama postcards are some of about 25,000 cards Hall collected across the United States during his life. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He would go around to different antique shops. He got to expect that, if they got some old postcards, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d give him a call,â&#x20AC;? Hayes said. On Sept. 11, the exhibitionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s primary researcher, Ruth Elder, gave a presentation to nearly a dozen people in the city hall council chambers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There was a lot going on last night, but the important thing is that everybody enjoyed the presentation,â&#x20AC;? Hayes said. The presentation focused on how Hall collected the postcards, the creation of the exhibition and the stories behind the landmarks featured in the postcards. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So what do you do when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got 25,000 postcards and you want to share them with the community? Ruth Elder and a committee came up with the idea of narrowing down to just Alabama,â&#x20AC;? Hayes said. Hayes described Edlerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s presentation as interesting and educational and said it lasted about an hour and a half because those who attended had so many questions. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She gave us a little bit of history of

The Humane Society of Elmore County held its 13th annual Bark in the Park celebration at Fort Toulouse Sunday afternoon. Humane society executive director Rea Cord said Bark in the Park was a celebration of the love between a dog and his or her owner. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re here to celebrate that bond that we all have with the pets that we think so much of,â&#x20AC;? Cord said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Many of these pets are adopted, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always neat, or theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re adopted from other groups or other shelters, or they come from somewhere else. As long as they love them, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all we care about it. The event featured a â&#x20AC;&#x153;Blessing of the Pets,â&#x20AC;? by Rev. Bob Henderson from Trinity Episcopal Church, a â&#x20AC;&#x153;Pup Parade,â&#x20AC;? several dog contests and a variety of vendors. Cord said visitors also had the opportunity to adopt a dog or have their pets microchipped. Cord said Bark in the Park typically has a high number of attendees, and 500-700 people turned out for this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s event. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are lots of familiar faces, but we love the new faces, too. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just always a good event,â&#x20AC;? Cord said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think a lot of people look forward to it every

Wetumpka, and even said some things that I had never heard of. It was a (really) informal gathering,â&#x20AC;? Hayes said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She talked about the state penitentiary because thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the one postcard that has a Wetumpka building. I think it was the first state penitentiary in the nation.â&#x20AC;? According to Hayes, the postcards will be featured on six banners at the library until the end of the month, and anyone is welcome to come and look at them. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And along with these six (banners), are two banners that basically say who Wade Hall was and a little bit about the project,â&#x20AC;? Hayes said. She also encouraged anyone who couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make it to the presentation or find the time to stop by the library to look at the postcards online at Trojan.troy.edu/library.

year. For a large chunk of folks at this event, they come every year. They put it on their calendar and they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t miss it, because they thoroughly enjoy bringing their dogs out. Or they just come out to see all the dogs.â&#x20AC;? Andalusia resident Alicia Vines said she and her dog Ellie traveled more than an hour to attend Bark in the Park. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Anything I hear of that we can do together, we do it,â&#x20AC;? Vines said. Vines said she admired her surroundings at Fort Toulouse. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I liked the atmosphere, with the river and the trees and the moss,â&#x20AC;? Vines said. She said she enjoyed showing off Ellie in the Pup Parade, where Ellie received lots of compliments on her fluffy, white fur. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She always does,â&#x20AC;? Vines said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And kids always want to pet her.â&#x20AC;? Redland Elementary School third-grader Gracie Garrison said she was â&#x20AC;&#x153;forcedâ&#x20AC;? to go by her mom, but ended up having a great time. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We adopted a dog today,â&#x20AC;? Gracie said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been so much fun that I want to scream.â&#x20AC;? The dog was named Milo by the shelter, but she said they planned to rename him once they got home. She also said she enjoyed eating ice cream before lunch at the event.
