Price pleads guilty to shooting man By CLIFF WILLIAMS Staff Writer

Family members of Elbert Clyde Wilson gathered in the courtroom of Judge Tom Young to hear Franklin Nathan Price Jr. plead guilty to Wilson’s murder. Price pleaded guilty to reckless murder and was

sentenced to 30 years in prison. As part of the plea, Price will have to pay a yet to be determined restitution, something he mentioned to Wilson’s family in the courtroom. “There is one thing I would like to say,” Price said as he turned to face the victim’s family. “Restitution,

Local officials celebrate New Site playground

By DONALD CAMPBELL Staff Writer

The lunchroom at Alexander City Middle School was full of happy conversation Tuesday as the school celebrated Grandparents Day, allowing grandparents the chance to come in and enjoy lunchtime with their grandchildren. “We did this last year too,” ACMS principal Tracie Blakely said. “This gives our students’ grandparents the chance to come out, get involved in the school and spend some time with their grandchildren.” Blakely credited her background at the elementary education level as being a key reason she has ideas for holding events like this. During Tuesday’s celebration of grandparents, Blakely said there were some who focused on eating lunch with their grandchildren, but there were also a number of grandparents who wanted to make the most of the period. “Some have gone and sat in on their grandkid’s classrooms and some have gone with them to look at the library,” Blakely said. “They really get a kick out of it. One grandparent told me this was the first time she had been back on this campus in 20 years.” As grandparents and grandchildren enjoyed their lunchtime together, several of those

A set of playground equipment was officially installed next to the pavilion behind New Site Town Hall in early January, giving locals a place they can bring their children on weekend afternoons. Tuesday afternoon, New Site Mayor Phil Blasingame, town councilmen Billy Daniel and Michael East, state Rep. Mark Tuggle, state Sen. Tom Whatley and representatives from the Coosa Valley Resource Conservation and Development Council gathered at the playground to celebrate the completion of the project, while the RC&D also presented the town with a $10,000 check, grant money the town used to purchase and install the playground. “We’re proud of our community out here,” Blasingame said. “We applied for the grant and wanted to put this playground in. Billy (Daniel) took this on as his personal project.

Political newcomer wants to bring broader thinking to 3rd district By CLIFF WILLIAMS Staff Writer

Mallory Hagan is a newcomer to politics but is not new to being under the public eye as a former Miss America. An Opelika native with family from Alexander City, Hagan is seeking the Alabama Third Congressional District seat, running as a Democrat. Republican Mike Rogers currently serves the third district in Washington, D.C, something he has done since being elected to the House of Representatives in 2002. Hagan believes her life experiences would serve her well in Congress in making decisions not just for residents in the third district, but across the U.S. “I think having a well-rounded view of our country is important when seeking to represent people of any district,” Hagan said. “As a representative of the Third District I would be voting on things for Alabama, but also making decisions that impact all of the country. “The travels I had as Miss America advocating

DEAR ABBY: I found out a month ago that my wife and my best friend had a relationship 40 years ago when we were in our 20s. My friend hinted about it, so I asked him point blank and he confessed. Obviously, if you can’t trust someone, he’s not your friend. My question is, should I ask my wife to tell me what went on or just sweep it under the rug and move forward? Not a day goes by that I don’t wonder what happened to make her stray, or how long the affair went on under my nose. I tried talking to her about it right after I found out, but she started crying, which is one of my weaknesses. I don’t like making folks upset, so I took the blame because I wasn’t a very good husband. We married very young, and I wasn’t ready. So, what do I do? -- HURT AND ANGRY DEAR H AND A: I would love to know your “friend’s” motivation for hinting so broadly that he’d had an affair with

He pays for the dog’s food and vaccinations. Last week my boyfriend accidentally slammed the door on the cat’s tail.

and I am at a loss. I feel it’s extremely inappropriate for her to share detailed information with me in the workplace. I’m also afraid the guys will hear her and take me less seriously as a professional and equal. I have tried politely changing the subject, ignoring her or avoiding her, but nothing seems to work. I don’t want to embarrass her by telling her flat out to not discuss her sex life with me, but I’m not sure what else I can do. What would you suggest? -COVERING MY EARS DEAR COVERING: What the woman is doing can be considered sexual harassment, and in most sizable businesses -- yours appears to be one -- there are policies in place to protect employees. I suggest you tell her that hearing about her sexual escapades makes you uncomfortable and to please stop. And if she doesn’t, discuss it with either human resources or your employer.

for children’s hospitals and child advocacy centers are valuable. I have visited small towns in Iowa, small towns in Alaska as well as the big cities. I think those diverse experiences allow me to come to the table with a greater understanding of what it means to be an American across the country. Decisions made in Washington will not only impact people in Alabama but people in Arizona and Wyoming too.” Hagan believes to improve the third district and Alabama, a broader view is needed to come up with solutions to issues and it is more than just leaders in Washington that are needed. “Essentially we stay in the bottom five in healthcare, education, government transparency and infrastructure,” Hagan explained. “Our education system in many ways depends on sales tax. In small towns, that don’t have a small business open or industry coming, our schools suffer from lack of funding. What company wants to come to a place that doesn’t have the best schools or have access to a good workforce? Healthcare plays a role in recruitment as well. So does the culture of state. “We are not doing a lot to encourage companies to come to our state. We have a lot of work to do and a lot of it is intertwined. I think it important for people in this state realize is this state has been run by the same party for years and they are the reason we are in this predicament. I think it is important for people to pay attention to their local leaders, who they elect to the statehouse who can help with this.” Hagan sees healthcare as a major issue for the third district and believes

Medicaid expansion is the first step to help but if the governor’s office fails to sign on, she has a plan. “We all saw layoffs at Russell Medical and the closing of the hospital in Jacksonville,” Hagan said. “What I am concerned with are those living in our rural areas having access to healthcare. Should we not have Medicaid expansion in our state, the thing I will fight for is federal grant monies and funding for things like rural birthing centers, tele-medicine and rural emergency clinics to bridge the gap.” Hagan said this would be a temporary solution until a more permanent fix can be made, but hopes the voters in Alabama will see the need for expansion. “I hope people see how this has negatively impacted the state and want to make a change,” she said. Hagan believes education needs to help with the stigma associated for not getting a college degree. “I think we need to marry the industry we do have in the state to our schools,” she said. “We need to de-stigmatize certificate training. There are lots of opportunities for our young people to graduate high school with a certificate in a vocation. “With 57,000 jobs in manufacturing here, we should be pushing people to those jobs. Because we have stigmatized trades, we have pushed children away from those career paths when we need those people. When they graduate, get a job and stay in that lane or use that job to fund higher education if they desire to.” Hagan does see some good things the third district and Alabama can capitalize on with its diversity in geography and history.

Plea

“One of the things I think needs attention in the third district is the preservation of history,” Hagan explained. “I think about Tuskegee and its history. It needs preserving and I think amplifying. It would be great for tourism. I would like for representatives in the state to look at the good things and what they have to offer.” And Hagan sees some issues the third district has too. “Our state has so much to offer by way of its geography, beauty, agriculture,” Hagan said. “We have PCB runoffs in Anniston causing rare forms of cancer. We have problems from turning the other way when environmental controls are breached. We don’t think about how long it can have an impact. PCB runoff can impact generations. I really wish people would talk about this planet we live on and how we can preserve it for our kids, their kids and their kids.” What Hagan lacks in experience in the political arena, Hagan feels she can still be a great servant for the third district. “I think one of the great things about leadership is you have to humble yourself when you don’t know something,” Hagan said. “One of the things I have said from the beginning is, I’m not a policy expert. I am not a foreign policy expert, but I don’t mind asking questions and looking at all sides before coming to a conclusion.” But Hagan has a plan for educating herself on issues she has little knowledge on. “To come up to speed, I would humble myself by surrounding myself with people who know more than I do on those things, helping come up with decisions in

pickup stop right there in the road and shoot that man,” Price said in April of 2016. “I heard the pop, just one time. The man fell back and the lawnmower cut off and I said ‘What the hell.’ I couldn’t believe what I saw.” Tuesday in court, Price recalled the event. “I remember firing the rifle,” Price said. “I was totally intoxicated.” Hall said the rifle was found using a search warrant in the woods behind Price’s residence. According to Hall, in 2016, Price offered a statement, “He discharged the weapon. His story was he was shooting at a rabbit and it must have ricochet.” Hall said the bullet recovered from Wilson was not deformed.

“The bullet taken from Mr. Wilson’s body was intact,” Hall said. “It was not mangled, consistent with being fired in a straight line of travel from the end of a barrel to the body. There were no ricochet marks or anything like that. It was completely intact.” Price had two burglary charges dismissed, though he did pay restitution in the amount of $2081 to settle them. Mitch Gavin was appointed to represent Price in the murder and burglary cases. The Wilson estate had previously filed a wrongful death suit against Price using attorney Greg Varner. According to court records, Price currently has no representation in the civil case.

lexander City Middle School held a special celebration for students’ grandparents Tuesday, welcoming them to the school for the chance to eat lunch with their grandchildren and enjoy some time together. ACMS principal Tracie Blakely said she believed this would be a great way for not only the students and their grandparents get to spend some time together, but would also help bring greater involvement into the school, as grandparents were welcome to see their grandchildren’s classroom and see what the average day at ACMS is like. A number of grandparents came out to the school during lunch period, watching their grandchildren in action, taking a look at the library and then enjoying a school meal together. The laughter and multitude of conversations echoing throughout the lunchroom said it all. Having the chance to spend a few minutes together and make memories, even while the students were at school, was an experience worth having for all involved. Blakely said there students who were asking her if they could stay in the lunchroom just a little bit longer, spending just a few more minutes with their grandparents before having to return to class. It means a lot the administration allowed students to do this and be with their grandparents that much longer. There are some who may think this was a fairly simple event, but as one grandparent said, this lunch period together is something the grandparents and grandchildren alike can share and put in their memory box. We want to take a moment and applaud the faculty and staff at ACMS for making this event possible, giving everyone involved the chance to enjoy some quality time together during the school day. We also hope the students and their grandparents were able to make special memories together Tuesday, even over something as simple as eating lunch.

Daily Poll Tuesday’s question: Have you been to a college football game this year?

Supreme Court rules states can collect sales tax

he State of Alabama’s fiscal year begins next week on Oct. 1. Our state’s finances are not the best in the world. However, they got a boost from the U.S. Supreme Court earlier this year. The high tribunal ruled that states can collect sales tax on internet sales. This was one of the most inequitable scenarios I have ever seen. If you went to the corner hardware store or Lowe’s or Walmart to buy a hammer and paint, you paid sales tax. However, if you bought these same items online you did not. That is not fair to the store or the state. What is even more unfair is if your wife went down to the local dress shop and tried on an expensive dress she liked and then came home and bought it online. How fair is that to the store, the clerk at the store or the state? Finally and thankfully, the Supreme Court clarified this inequality that had persisted for decades, since the inception of the internet. Alabama had already gotten ahead of the curve in regards to collecting online sales tax. Through the wise stewardship of House Ways and Means Chairman, Steve Clouse, R-Ozark, we had joined 19 other states in passing legislation that companies were to voluntarily pay the online sales tax. The legislation passed in 2015 was entitled the Simplified Sellers Use Tax. It gave companies permission to collect sales tax to be remitted to the state voluntarily in exchange for locking in a fixed rate of 8-percent no matter where in the state an online item was sold. As you know, the sales

STEVE FLOWERS Columnist tax rate deviates throughout each city and locale. In Alabama’s case, the money collected under our SSUT Act was divided 50/50 between the state and cities and counties. The city’s and county’s half is disbursed based on population. The state’s half is divided 75-percent to the General Fund and 25 percent to the Education Fund. Chairman Clouse estimates that the state will reap an additional $18-20 million from the Supreme Court decision. The Supreme Court’s 5-to-4 ruling overruled decades of old decisions that had cost the state billions of dollars over the years. The cases the Court overturned said that if a business was shipping an online customer’s purchase to a state where the business did not have a physical presence like a store, warehouse, or office, the business did not have to collect sales tax and remit to the state. Over the decades this has been referred to as the Physical Presence Rule. Retiring Justice Anthony Kennedy wrote the majority opinion. He said, “Every year the Physical Presence Rule becomes further removed from economic reality and results in significant revenue losses to the state.” Retail trade groups praised the ruling saying that it levels the playing field for local and online businesses. President

Trump praised the decision via Twitter. The President hailed the Supreme Court opinion as a “Big victory for fairness and for our country.” Speaking of President Trump and the Supreme Court, it is said and it is very true that the greatest legacy a U.S. President can record is an appointment to the U.S. Supreme Court. Trump has had two in the first two years. Regardless of what transpires in the next two years of Trump’s reign, from conservative Americans viewpoint, this presidency has been a success. The nominations of Neil Gorsuch last year and Brett Kavanaugh this year were big. Both men are in their early 50s and will make a powerful impact on public policy and law in America for decades. Long after Trump is gone, his legacy as a stalwart, conservative President will live on through Kavanaugh and Gorsuch. Both are also men of character with impeccable credentials. They are strict Constitutional constructionists and adherents. Their intellectual prowess will be indelibly inscribed into the Law of the Land for generations. As former President Barack Obama said, the night that Hillary Clinton lost to Donald Trump, “Elections have consequences.” See you next week. Steve Flowers is Alabama’s leading political columnist.

“We have a lot going on up here. However, if it had not been for your grant, we could not have done this. We wanted to do this, but it wasn’t in the budget for this year without the grant.” Blasingame said Tuggle and Whatley were instrumental in backing the grant application, while also thanking Terry Martin, who is also part of the RC&D, in making sure he knew grants for projects like this were out there. Council executive director Heidi Richards said the Coosa Valley council is one of nine councils throughout the state helping with projects like the New Site playground. While the councils have a number of differences, they also have Donald Campbell / The Outlook a number of similarities in New Site Mayor Phil Blasingame, town councilmen Billy Daniel and Michael East, state representative Mark Tuggle, state trying to help communities senator Tom Whatley and representatives from the Coosa Valley Resource Conservation and Development Council move forward. Along with celebrate the effort which made the playground behind New Site Town Hall possible. The RC&D also presented the town the playground, the group has helped boost agriculture with a $10,000 check, grant money the town used to purchase the equipment with.

awareness in Tallapoosa County and improving outdoor classrooms for local schools during the past fiscal year. “We try to be wise stewards of your money,” Richards said. Whatley and Tuggle both expressed how good it was to see everyone working together to bring plans and ideas like this to fruition. “You always find a way to make it work,” Whatley said. Tuggle added, “The RC&D has been really good about this. I’d do anything for Tallpoosa County.” Along with the playground, Tuggle said he was excited to see New Site making progress on bringing a health clinic and pharmacy to town. “The clinic and pharmacy is a landmark thing for us,” Blasingame said.

The Wetumpka Herald

PUZZLES & HOROSCOPE ARIES (March 21-April 19) You could be wavering over an issue about which you undoubtedly think you are right. You push in various areas of your life. Take care of a problem; do not backpedal -- just resolve it. Continue in this way until you know what to do. Tonight: Full of energy and optimism. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) A diÉ&#x2030;cult person or situation might cause you to wonder. You could be unsure about the best way to handle this matter. If you have questions, go within yourself to Ă&#x201E;nd answers. Understand that you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always second-guess others. Tonight: Get some extra R and R. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You naturally zero in on your priorities. Deciding to head in a diÉ&#x2C6;erent direction would be diÉ&#x2030;cult. No matter how well you know a loved one, he or she still is capable of surprising you. Clearly, you need to make the Ă&#x201E;rst move. What is stopping you? Tonight: Think before you leap. CANCER (June 21-July 22) No matter which way you turn, you feel pressured. Others want to listen to what you are thinking. You need to let a partner know that you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t continue spending as you have been. Understand your priorities. Be careful with a controlling person. Tonight: Do your thing. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Defer to someone who appears to have a greater understanding of what is going on. You might want to jump right over this personâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s need for control. If you stay out of the way of others, you will be able to do what you want. Tonight: Reach out to a loved one who has news to share. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) When handling a money issue with a partner, look at the big picture. This person might be so into the here and now that he or she cannot see past the obvious. A child could throw a tantrum because he or she feels as if he or she is not getting enough attention. Tonight: Be a duo.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You might not be in the middle of all the action, yet you still feel the need to detach. The odd thing is that all of the activity could still be around you. If you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get the answers that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re seeking, do not be depressed. You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t Ă&#x201E;ght city hall. Tonight: Go with the Ă&#x2026;ow. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Passions run high. Because others seem preoccupied and not particularly helpful, you might have diÉ&#x2030;culty handling a personal matter. Know what is going on around you. If you can, defer to others by any means -- the waiting game will pay oÉ&#x2C6;. Tonight: Maintain a low proĂ&#x201E;le. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Connect, talk and research. You have most of the day to come to a conclusion. A friend could be very diÉ&#x2030;cult and touchy. Be smart. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t try to push this person just to get positive feedback. Leave him or her alone. Trust your judgment. Tonight: Assume the lead. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Without intending to, you could be raining on someone elseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s parade. However, if you proceed as you always have, you will Ă&#x201E;nd out soon enough who this person is. Be more aware of the power that you wield and how others react to it. Tonight: Be more direct and forthcoming. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Reach out to someone at a distance, or be ready to dig in and do a lot of research. This person serves as a mentor for you. Remain optimistic and forthright when dealing with an unusual new topic. Make plans to take a vacation soon. Tonight: Relax at home. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You know what you want, and you know where you are heading. A meeting could be provocative, causing your feelings to emerge. You need to stay focused on what you want from a situation. Avoid a person who often gets involved in a power play. Tonight: Out with friends.

Can a 31-point win truly be disappointing?

Wednesday, September 26, 2018

SERVING ACES

he Auburn Tigers were a 30-point favorite over the Arkansas Razorbacks in last Saturday’s matchup, according to the “wise guys” in Vegas. To be perfectly honest, that said as much about the Hogs and their incompetence as it did about the Tigers and their presumed dominance. Well, lo and behold, Auburn wins by 31 points with a final score of 34-3. Apparently, those guys know what they’re talking about. The Tigers blocked two punts and ran a kickoff back for a touchdown. The defense got significant and consistent pressure on the Arkansas quarterback all night and gave up only three points to an SEC West opponent. It sounds like a pretty great night at Jordan Hare Stadium. In fact, I can’t even remember a 30-point win over a conference foe that wasn’t exhilarating and extremely encouraging. That is, until now. Of course I’m glad Auburn won the game. I’m thrilled the Tigers’ special teams have made incredible progress this season. I thought the defense played well especially on third down. All that is wonderful, but unfortunately the Auburn offense played the part of a torrential rainstorm on the proverbial parade. Somehow, I left the stadium feeling far worse about Auburn’s trajectory than I did when I arrived. That’s not easy to do after a 30-point victory. Quarterback Jarrett Stidham continues to look anything like the confident gunslinger who led the charge to defeat Georgia and Alabama a season ago. The offensive line clearly has issues and is doing very little to help Stidham regain his previous form. Does Stidham not have enough time to throw? Is he holding onto the ball too long? Are the receivers not getting open? I don’t study the film, but chances are it’s a little bit of everything. The most disturbing aspect of Auburn’s performance on Saturday to me was the paltry 91 rushing yards. The Tigers had 147 yards rushing against Washington. They had 130 yards rushing against LSU. Now, 91 yards rushing against Arkansas. I’m not a mathematician, but those number appear to be trending in the wrong direction. The offense has struggled at times over the last five years especially early in the season. However, the one mainstay that Auburn could always count on was the running game. Gus Malzahn has never fielded a team that averaged (at season’s end) fewer than 196 yards rushing per game. That was the woeful 2015 squad. The next lowest average was last year at 218 rushing yards per game. It’s also gravely concerning that Auburn is struggling mightily in the third and short situations. By my count, the Tigers have encountered a third and two or less 14 times in their first four games. They have converted only eight on those opportunities which is 57.1 percent of the time. Again, by my count, the Tigers have gone for it on fourth and one a single time in each of the four games played. They have converted only one of those opportunities, which is obviously 25 percent. That is a horrendous and very telling statistic. If the No. 10 team in the country cannot line up and consistently get 1 yard (even if the opponent knows the play), it is not the No. 10 team in the country. Auburn has another week to figure it out and I most certainly believe it can be figured out. I just hope those doing the figuring can put two and two together.

Wildcats use strong serves to finish off Wetumpka By CALEB TURRENTINE Sports Writer

Benjamin Russell got a hard battle from Wetumpka but the Wildcats did what they had to do to earn the road victory Tuesday night. Benjamin Russell improved to 4-6 on the season with the 25-23, 25-15, 26-24 victory. “I’m so proud of my

girls,” Benjamin Russell coach Magan Ford said. “They’ve been working hard on staying consistent so to come in here and win in three sets shows a lot of their maturity.” The Wildcats dominated the match from behind the service line, finishing with more aces than service faults in the match. The team connected on 58 of its

62 service attempts and had five different players record one ace. “At the beginning of the season, I said we pride ourselves in our serves,” Ford said. “So tonight shows that when we’re keeping our serves, we’re a competitive team. It proves the point that we have to focus on every serve.” Makenzie Davis was the

star of the service show for the Wildcats. Davis finished the first and third sets at the service line. She was 20-for-20 on her attempted serves and was one of the team’s leading setters on the night. In the opening set, the two teams battled closely as the largest lead swelled to only four points for either side. See WILDCATS • Page 12

Local anglers shine in tourney at Lake Jordan By CALEB TURRENTINE Sports Writer

The FLW Bass Fishing League hosted a weekend tournament at Lake Jordan for 118 boaters and co-anglers. With the lake water being drawn down the week of the tournament, expectations of the anglers were not high. However, tournament director Robert Evans said the weekend was still a success. “With the draw down going on, no one was really looking forward to it that much,” Evans said. “But overall, the lake fished phenomenal for this time of the year. We had a 17-pound bag come in on day one. The lake produced really well for this time of year.” Entering the weekend, the BFL points leader in the Bama division See ANGLERS • Page 12

Benjamin Russell’s Bailey Underwood (18) waits for a pass from Baylee Adkins (33) during a volleyball match against Wetumpka on Tuesday.

Wildcats Wetumpka took a 23-20 lead but a hitting error forced it to give the serve back to the Wildcats. Davis took control, leading Benjamin Russell to five consecutive points and a win in the first set. Things were a bit easier in the second set for the Wildcats. Davis was again in the center, serving for six straight points to build the lead to 21-12 before her team finished off the set. With Benjamin Russell leading the final set 24-18, it appeared the Wildcats were going to cross the finish line with a bit of ease. However, Wetumpka had plans of its own, scoring six straight points to swing the momentum and tie the third set up. “The big thing was learning how to win,” Ford said. “These girls are so young that they have to learn to stay calm throughout a win and finish a win. It was a huge deal to not let it get to a fourth set.” After an unforced error gave the Wildcats the lead again, Davis, who was on the bench during the run, returned to the court to serve. Without any surprise,

her service led to a point for the Wildcats as Benjamin Russell survived the late comeback attempt. “When we rotated around, we were down to two subs but I knew I had to get McKenzie behind the line to serve,” Ford said. “I’ll put her back there for any situation there could be.” Six different players recorded a kill for the Wildcats. Brooklyn Edwards led the team with seven kills and Timira Lawson added six of her own. “We’ve been struggling with confidence, going up and down with wins and losses,” BRHS libero Baylee Adkins said. “But I think it was important that we came out here and handled our business in three sets.” Benjamin Russell will look to continue this momentum when the team travels to Opelika as area play continues this week. The Wildcats already beat the Bulldogs once this season. “We’ve improved in a lot of areas but the biggest thing is consistency for us,” Ford said. “Now we have to take it to our area match on Thursday to Opelika and not just leave it here.”

was Josh Stracner from Vandiver. Stracner continued his stronghold on the top, finishing with 10 fish weighing 30 pounds, 8 ounces. His total weighed in 2 pounds heavier than second place to take home the $4,110 of prize money. Dusty Robinson of Eclectic finished fourth in the tournament, securing his spot in next month’s regional championship tournament in Florida. Robinson earned $959 during the weekend after weighing in his 10 fish at 27-3. “Overall, if you go to someone’s local lake, they’re going to perform a little bit better than someone who is from out of town,” Evans said. Robinson was not the only local angler to have a strong performance at Jordan. Shaye Baker, of Reeltown, finished just one ounce shy of Robinson’s mark for the tournament. He finished with five fish weighing 13-9 on both Saturday and Sunday. Baker said he has fished on the lake several times but this was a unique perspective. “With the water being down four feet because of the draw down, it was neat to fish in kind of a new lake with a different point of view than normal,” Baker said. Erick Sommers of Deatsville joined the local party as well. Sommers caught 10 fish totaling 25-12 across the two-

day tournament. He finished sixth, winning $754 in his first tournament of the season. “I enjoy fishing this lake,” Sommers said. “There was pretty stiff competition in this trail so overall I’m pleased with my finish. Sixth against these guys, I’ll take it.” Sommers said he feels like any advantage locals would have had was taken away with the water levels down. He said there was not enough time to get used to the lake before the tournament began. “It would have been if they had not just pulled the water down,” Sommers said. “So everyone was on a pretty level playing field, there was no home town advantage or anything like that.” Jason Nixon of Wetumpka did not make the cut after Saturday, finishing 41st in the boater division. However, he currently sits in ninth place in the Bama Division and will qualify for the regional tournament in Florida. After the successful weekend, Evans said the BFL looks forward to returning to Wetumpka for a future tournament. The biggest reason may be the lake’s fill of the Coosa River spotted bass. “That fish is unique in itself,” Evans said. “I don’t know of anywhere else in the country that you can consistently catch 4- or 5-pound spotted bass. That makes Lake Jordan unique.”
