Changing the status quo

By CLIFF WILLIAMS Staff Writer Lew Burdette is tired of seeing Alabama at the bottom of so many categories — like education, healthcare and prisons.

Burdette believes change is

hampered by political corruption with “unlimited campaign contributions” keeping many in power for decades. Instead of hoping Montgomery politicians will change their ways from afar, Burdette wants to bring change to Montgomery’s political landscape

through the office of governor of Alabama.

“We have a great state; we have great people,” Burdette said.

“Why are we at the bottom? I truly feel like its lifetime politicians that keep us at the bottom and never move this state forward. It is just the status

quo and I want to see things change.

People all across this state tell me they want to see change.”

Burdette believes change in Montgomery starts with the governor having an active role.

“I think the governor has to provide leadership,” Burdette

Sewell award winners share love of math, diamonds and God

By CLIFF WILLIAMS Staff Writer Some can not see how someone can excel at both academics and athletics.

But Michael Austin Forney of Holtville High School and Belle Haynes of Tallassee High School, this year’s Joe Sewell Memorial Overall Award winners, can’t see it any other way.

“My heart was beating so fast,” Forney said just moments after being named the winner. “I knew the challenge I was up against.

There are so many great people that had the opportunity to win that award. It was by sheer luck I got it. I did work hard through high school. It was a great opportunity to just be here.”

Haynes said she was emotional at being named an overall winner.

“You work so hard to get to this point in the classroom, on the field and in your life, chirstian life and spiritual life,” Haynes said. “It’s really honorable. I’m really excited for this because it is going to help pay for college. It’s less

money my parents have to spend.”

The work on and off the field has been going on for years for both. Forney has always played on the baseball diamond.

“Growing up, it’s all I did,” Forney said. “I started at 4 years old and haven’t stopped since. I love being on the field, being out there with the guys. The mental challenge it brings, the physical challenge, it’s such a great sport.

Humane Society of Elmore County News – 9 May ‘22

By REA CORD Executive Director There will be much more to follow when we have the final tally, but huge thanks to everyone who made the Derby Party at The Thirsty Turtle in Millbrook such a huge success! Can’t wait to share the grand total and list of all who made it possible!

Saturday, 14 May is National Animal Disaster Preparedness Day to remind us to include our pets in all of our disaster planning. And while most of us tend to think of events like a hurricane, tornado or flood in regard to a disaster, a house fire, major water damage inside a home, or grass fire on a farm can all be disastrous for that family. Planning ahead for your pets will help you and your pets get through the crisis until things can get back to normal. The first step in planning is to find a safe place to stay - friend, family member, emergency shelter run by a local organization (not all accept pets or may limit species) or even a pet friendly hotel outside of the affected area. Most Humane/Animal Shelters in our area are unable to ‘board’ pets for families since we are full all the time. And, in the case of incoming large weather events in our area, local animal shelters tend to see a significant increase in intake right before hurri-

canes and holidays further impacting our available space.

1 - The first step is to HAVE A PLAN! Stay informed! Establish a safe space for your pets, have a plan with a neighbor or close friend to help if you’re not home. Make sure they know where your pet’s emergency supplies are. Have a copy of their shot records, important phone numbers like local Animal Control, Police, local boarding and Veterinarians. Plan an escape route, it might have to be by foot! Then practice with your family and pets.

2 - As part of making that PLAN above, and long before – Have your pets Rabies tags ON their collars and their collars on them, get your pet microchipped and ensure your information is up to date with the microchip company (hint – put your pet’s microchip number in your phone as well as photos of your pet). Make sure your pets are crate trained, just in case they have to be crated at a Boarding Facility, Vet, hotel or friend/family’s home.

Also teach them to walk on a leash without freaking out as they may have to be walked for potty breaks at their temporary location. Practice traveling with them so they are ok in cars.

If they have separation anxiety make sure you discuss this with your veterinarian, they can often assist with

calming pills that you can add to their emergency pack.

3 - Have a dedicated pet emergency pack ready! Items should include, but not limited to: crate(s), food, pet friendly first aid kit, bowls for food and water, a slip lead so you can get your pets out quickly, medications (recommended 5 day minimum), flashlight in case you have to evacuate at night, toys/favorite bedding can help calm a scared pet, cat litter box/litter, treats.

4 – Make sure family, friends, neighbors know about your pets – give them a written sheet of paper with your pet’s species, breeds, ages, descriptions so that if you are gone, or they are caretaking and disaster happens they will have a reference to account for your pets. Of course, if you have one or more of your pets with you, make sure they know that so won’t be in a panic looking for a pet that is safe with you.

We hope you never need to put your disaster pan into use, but it will give you peace of mind knowing that you have done everything you can to be prepared to keep your pets safe.

Don’t wait until the last minute to prepare as things can get chaotic when bad weather hits, or you are trying to help others near you who have not taken the time to plan. We want all families AND their pets to be as safe as possible during any disaster.

The source of hateful division

hat an odd intersection of emotions. This past Sunday many celebrated Mother’s Day at church while others protested at the same churches in favor of mothers’ rights to abort their children. Imagine the emotions of mothers who had chosen to abort their children interacting with mothers who had chosen to carry their children to birth. If emotions were not high enough, imagine how the thoughts of church influenced all these mothers.

Apparently, there are no sources inside the government or health organizations who can provide an accurate list of those who have survived abortions. According to their website, “The Abortion Survivors Network (ASN) is the only advocacy and support group for abortion survivors and their families world-wide.” Their motto, “More than a choice,” humanizes those who have survived being treated as nothing more than a mass of unwanted cells, and helps each survivor understand his or her worth and value as a fellow human being, i.e., as a real person.

Of all the issues Americans face, abortion - a literal life or death choice over our most innocent children - delineates the beliefs, attitudes, and values of those who debate the issue. For one side, it’s a

DANIEL GARDNER Columnist matter of a personal right. For the other side, it’s a matter of protecting an innocent life.

How will the Supreme Court rule in “Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health,” the case many have labeled as potentially overturning Roe v. Wade? The Court’s ruling is expected in June, but the recent leak of a February draft has outraged those who support abortion. Many have protested in front of justices’ homes and threatened violence if justices rule in favor of Dobbs. The leak of that February draft should raise more ire than the text of the draft document since the case has not technically been decided. Who leaked it and why did they leak it?

Was the leak for political reasons?

The leak shouts about the beliefs, attitudes, and values of those responsible for the leak.

Cases in which the Supreme Court overturns a decision made by the Court itself are rare but not unprecedented, and predictably those who supported the case that was overturned were disappointed. Some

of the more famous cases overturning “established law” include Brown v. Board of Education; Miranda v.

Arizona; and Obergefell v. Hodges.

“The Constitution Annotated” estimates the Court has overruled its own precedents 232 times since 1810.

Those who argue Roe v. Wade cannot be overturned are ignorant of American jurisprudence at best. Roe v. Wade has become a cornerstone of Democrats, many of whom support abortion as late as up to birth.

Americans have been divided over abortion since the Court ruled on Roe v. Wade in 1973 and will likely remain bitterly divided regardless of the ruling in Dobbs v.

Jackson Women’s Health. Justices Brett Kavanaugh and Amy Coney Barrett and their families, including their children, were threatened with many forms of violence during their confirmation hearings by those who support abortion. On the other hand, Ketanji Brown Jackson, the latest confirmed Justice of the Court, sailed through her hearings relatively unscathed by Washington’s standards.

The ruling on Dobbs will likely unleash a lot of hate, anger and violence across America, even against churches. Will protests reveal the source of this hate, anger, and violence?

Letter to the Editor

America is off track There is a very popular OLD song, and the lyrics go something like this: Life is like a mountain railroad, with an engineer that’s brave We must make this run successful, from the cradle to the grave Watch the curves, the fills, the tunnels; never falter, never quail Always mindful of obstructions, do your duty, never fail Keep your hand upon the throttle, and your eyes upon the rail!

Our country was started as this train. But, by now, we are way off track, and have derailed. Men want to become women, women want to become men. Teachers, and parents want to open this philosophy up to their children, and if necessary, take

the unmerciful actions (chemical castration, or genital mutilations) to complete the modification. Work to completely and immediately wreck our economy that has sustained us for the past 246yrs, and even think they’re Gods who can control our natural environments (climate).

When a train derails, immediate action is beginning to “clear the tracks” and get the train back on the rail. This knowledge is completely foreign to our government leaders, particularly our Congress. The first mission in a derailment is prevention of further accidents, additional damages and injuries.

The emergency dispatch centers may have strategies and emergency response guides prepared for various kinds of train derailments.

American’s current government and Congress is totally lost. In case someone is trapped under the vehicle, various kinds of extrication tools can be used to rescue the trapped (American Public). It is also possible to drive the train backwards, to get Back on Track.

Duhhhh!! Because of the necessity to get all trains running again on these tracks, action must be immediate and successful. One cannot wait until a new engineer is elected, and train operating crews arrive to take instantaneous actions.

If this train wreck is not corrected, then the entire railroad (America) will vanish, “Off the Tracks”.

Senate race down to the wire T he GOP Primary is less than two weeks away on May 24. It has been an interesting and expensive race to fill the seat of our venerable and powerful senior Senator Richard Shelby.

There are three major primary contestants. Katie Britt, Mike Durant, and Mo Brooks are the horses or as some might say combatants given the nature of the prevalence of negative advertising. Two of these three gladiators will be the recipient of the most votes on that momentous day and will face off in a runoff set for six weeks later on June 21. The winner of that June 21 runoff will be our next U.S. Senator.

Winning the GOP Primary is tantamount to election for a statewide office in the Heart of Dixie, especially for a U.S. Senate Race.

This race will probably wind up being the most expensive race in Alabama political history, especially when you add up the third party expenditures. In modern day national politics, a candidate’s individual war chest is not the telling story. We live in a world of third party political action committees (PACs).

These third party PACs, based out of Washington, have spent more on their preferred candidate than has been spent directly by the candidates’ campaigns.

These PACs are not supposed to coordinate with their preferred candidate, but they do. They share all information and polling, and script their attack ads based on what they think you want to hear. These innocuous PACs have the meanest hired guns, who relish negative ads and seek to destroy their opposition.

Why? Because negative ads work.

The other political adage that has never changed is that money is the mother’s milk of politics. These three candidates possess or have received plenty of campaign resources, mostly from out of state. Allow me to summarize the top three U.S. Senate candidates, as well as their benefactors, their positions and potential.

Mo Brooks is backed by the Club for Growth.

This group of very rich folks want less government and free trade with China.

They and Mo Brooks are made for each other. They have been tied to the hip during Mo’s entire 11-year career in Congress. They want a senator who will have total disregard for their state or district and have total allegiance to their laissez-faire pro-China trade agenda. That is why Mo has voted against the needs of his district and Alabama. He has actually voted against agriculture and military defense spending, which are the mainstays of Alabama.

Mo has dropped dramatically in the polls since the race began this time last year. He will now probably

Columnist

finish a distant third. When the race first began and it looked like Brooks might be a player, the popular, wise and witty Republican Senator from Louisiana, John Kennedy, quipped, “A senate seat is a terrible thing to waste.” The runoff will probably be a Mike Durant and Katie Britt contest.

Mike Durant has been the wild card in this race, who nobody saw coming but he is a perfect prototype for winning an open U.S. Senate Seat, especially in a pro-military state like Alabama.

Durant is a war hero, a POW, and started his own military defense business.

He has spent some of his own money, but has been extensively backed by a national liberal group called the “More Perfect Union PAC.” The founder and major benefactor, Jake Harriman, is striving to elect more moderates, including Democrats and Republicans. This PAC wants “Republicans in Name Only” (RINOs).

Therefore, RINO probably is the more accurate description of Durant.

Durant is a phantom candidate, who has run primarily a media campaign revealing he was shot down as a helicopter pilot over 40 years ago.

If the term carpetbagger ever applied in modern day Alabama politics, it applies to Durant. He has barely campaigned in Alabama and he probably knows very few Alabamians. He hails from New Hampshire, but prefers his palatial home in Colorado.

A vote for Durant is like a pig in a poke, you do not know what you will be getting. However, you would be getting a person who decided he wanted to be a United States Senator, but does not care what state you put behind his name: New Hampshire, Colorado or Alabama.

With Durant running a slick television only campaign and not discussing issues, nobody knows where he stands on important issues. The one group that is extremely skeptical and apprehensive of him are the second amendment gun owning NRA members of our state.

Katie Britt is the mainstream conservative, pro-business candidate that understands Alabama and our needs. Most of her campaign contributions have come from Alabamians. In fact, she is the only real Alabamian in the race.

High Praise for Low Unemployment

By BETH CHAPMAN

J

ust about everyone who wants a job in most parts of Alabama should have one by now with unemployment at 2.9 percent.

That low rate is tied for the alltime low in our state’s history. The latest numbers show an improvement over the 3.0 percent rate in February and 3.7 percent in March of this year.

For the most part, Alabamians have never had a problem wanting to work. We have an innate work ethic and, as a whole, we take a great deal of pride in the work we do. That’s of course not everyone everywhere, but that is the spirit of the average Alabamian I believe.

Things are on an upswing and attribute it to whomever and whatever you’d like, it’s a great thing for our state, our citizens and our economy.

While the March rate represents 65,485 unemployed people, that’s

the lowest number recorded in our state’s history. That number is down by 8,663 in February and an astounding 82,443 in that same time in 2021 – six months before the beginning of the COVIC-19 pandemic.

The number of people employed rose by 36,734 over the year to 2,204,978, and there have been 40,000 jobs gained since last year.

According to the Alabama Department of Labor, the civilian labor force increased by 9,901 to 2,270,463 over the month.

The number of people employed increased by 36,734 over the year to 2,204,978.

Alabama has seen excellent job growth with more than 40,000 new jobs since last year.

Since last month, the greatest gains were seen in construction with 2,200 jobs; leisure and hospitality with 2,200; and the government sector with 2,500.

Shelby County had the lowest

unemployment rate in the state with 1.7 percent. Cullman had 1.8 percent; and Limestone, Marshall and Morgan counties all followed with 1.9 percent.

Counties with the highest unemployment rates are Wilcox County with 8.8 percent; Lowndes with 6.5 percent; and Perry with 6.3 percent.

Major cities with the lowest unemployment rates are: Alabaster and Vestavia Hills at 1.4 perent; Homewood at 1.5 percent; and Hoover and Trussville at 1.6 percent.

Major cities with the highest unemployment rates are: Selma at 6.9 percent; Prichard at 5.0 percent; and Anniston at 4.7 percent.

While high gas prices approaching inflation and taxes might be fodder for political speeches, you won’t hear anyone talking about unemployment.

There’s only high praise for low unemployment in Alabama.

“I didn’t play football until I was about 10 or 11 years old. The first day for football, I was like six years old. The coach made me run like crazy. I said it was not for me.”

Forney did make it to the football field again.

“I got to middle school and all my friends were doing it so I did it,” Forney said.

Haynes plays on a different diamond from Forney, but softball isn’t the only sport Haynes plays.

She’s on Tallassee’s volleyball and track and field teams too.

“I’m mostly connected to softball, mostly because this is my 14th year playing,” Haynes said. “It has been part of my life for so long. It’s going to be weird not having it next year.

“I have the most fun with volleyball. I only started playing it six years ago. I find it fun. I think it’s new and exciting. Our school offered it and I needed something to do in the fall. My friends liked it and tried it out. I really enjoyed it and loved it.”

Haynes’ lack of height doesn’t stop her from competing in volleyball.

“They pick at me,” Haynes said. “I’m the libero. It’s usually the shortest person on the team. They always joke I will never step foot on the front row to spike or anything.”

Both excel in the classroom with favorite subjects of math and science.

“I have always excelled in those and helped my friends with tutoring,” Forney said. “It’s just where my heart has always been.”

Haynes added, “Math has always been easy for me. I don’t have to work as hard as I do in other subjects.”

Haynes said she has worked her entire life and not just for academic or athletic success or to become the Sewell Award recipient.

“It starts in elementary school with dedication in the classroom, sports and how you treat other people and being able to spread the word and guide others to Christ,” Haynes said.

The Joe Sewell Memorial Foundation recognized Forney with a ninth grade certificate four years ago.

“I watched all the seniors walk by and was like wow that could be one

last several years related to a back to school sales tax holiday.

County administrator Blake Beck said he called the Alexander City Board of Education and the Tallapoosa County Board of Education as the commission has done for the last decade asking their preference about the sales tax holiday.

“They both indicated they didn’t want to participate,” Beck said.

The commission voted against a sales tax holiday.

The Tallapoosa County Commission also: • Approved minutes of the April 11 meeting.

• Approved warrants and purchase orders.

day,” Forney said. “I just need to work hard and do everything I’m supposed to do. Everyday in school I pushed myself to make the best grades I could, to be the best athlete I could, to work out hard, do everything I could to the best of my ability. God puts me where He wants to put me.”

Forney said he appreciates the process applicants go through for the Sewell award.

“It’s just been a blessing through all the interviews,” Forney said. “It’s been a privilege talking to everyone and learning skills, it has just been an amazing experience.”

Both Forney and Haynes already have roadmaps for the future.

“I plan to attend Auburn University and major in mechanical or chemical engineering, I haven’t really decided yet,” Forney said. “My plans are to walk on for football or baseball, wherever God may lead me and just be an active member in the community for God.” Haynes will be yelling “Roll Tide” instead.

“I plan to go to the University of Alabama,” Haynes said. “I have full tuition paid for which is great. I want to major in biology or chemistry and then I want to go to graduate school at UAB, dental school. My main goal is to have my own orthodontics practice. There will be many years of school but I think I can do it.”

There were 25 seniors from across Elmore County nominated for the 2022 Joe Sewell Memorial Award.

Eight seniors were selected as category winners.

The Boys Leadership Award went to Avery Thomas of Wetumpka High School. The Girls Leadership Award went to Madison McElrath of Stanhope Elmore High School. The Boys Academic Award went to Nathan Golden of New Life Christian Academy. The Girls Academic Award went to Maggie Thames of Elmore County High School. The Boys Athletic Award went to Cooper Mann of Holtville High School. The Girls Athletic Award went to Chloe Baynes of Tallassee High School. The Boys Church and Community Award went to Colton Jones of Edgewood Academy. The Girls Church and Community Award went to Mackenzie Foshee of Stanhope Elmore High School.

• Approved FMLA leave for an employee.

• Entered an executive session to discuss economic development for 45 minutes and upon return approved applying for an Alabama Department of Economic and Consumer Affairs (ADECA) grant.

• Approved participation in an IAC Joint Bid program to allow better pricing on items used by the county such as pipe.

• Reminded the courthouses of Tallapoosa County would be closed May 30 in observance of Memorial Day and June 6 in observance of Jefferson Davis’ birthday.

Commissioner T.C. Coley was absent from the meeting.

The next meeting of the Tallapoosa County Commission is scheduled for 9 a.m. Monday, June 13.

for Burdette. It’s the foundation for improving the state and seeing Alabama’s residents get better paying jobs.

“With better education, we will have better jobs, that is the key,” Burdette said. “We have to bring in better, higher paying jobs for the rural areas.”

Burdette said Birmingham, Huntsville and Mobile are getting jobs but work must be done to spread the wealth.

“We have got to have them in the rural areas too,” Burdette said. “What holds us back in bringing in jobs in these rural areas is education. Nobody wants to locate there.”

Burdette said examples of how to improve education are everywhere.

“We have a great template in Florida,” Burdette

said. “The first thing DeSantis did was take out common core.

“We got to have real school choice where parents really have a choice,” Burdette said. “It doesn’t work everywhere. It doesn’t work in rural areas, in places parents can’t drive to the next county over to a different school system.

But there are alot of areas in Alabama where school choice can work.”

Burdette’s idea of school choice would have funding follow the student, even

homeschoolers.

“A child’s zip code shouldn’t determine a child’s future,” Burdette said. “We have a child education savings account that goes only to the child and not the parents. They have already tried that. It has to go to the child and classroom education. Let the parents have a choice.”

Career technical programs and Alabama’s Community College System are high on the list for making a change in

Alabama.

“Without better education, we can’t have better paying jobs,” Burdette said. “Career tech, I think that is the future for education. We have 26 wonderful community colleges.

We need dual enrollment in every high school. We need to be funding dual enrollment.”

Burdette has been a part of King’s Home for nearly two decades and has seen the success of those trade programs.

“At King’s Home, some of our kids are getting welding certifications in high school,” Burdettee said. “As soon as they graduate high school, they are getting jobs making $20 per hour.

They are in an apprenticeship program and go to a junior college...”

Burdette said dual enrollment programs should also be available to those students seeking to go to four year schools too.

Do not rebel against the Lord nly do not rebel against the Lord.

And do not fear the people of the land, for they are bread for us. Their protection is removed from them, and the Lord is with us; do not fear them.” - Numbers 14:9 They had waited more than a month. Anticipation built as the days passed. Would the spies return? What kind of report would they bring? When the twelve men who had been sent into Canaan did come back, the report was “good news, bad news.” The land was good; the fruit was plentiful.

They brought samples. Then came the “however” moment: the people are strong; their walled cities are big. Some tall people over there made us look and feel like grasshoppers. We can’t win.

Israel’s short existence as

a nation, born out of slavery by the Exodus, had already been marked by some great heights and tragic lows. The people’s rebellion when the spies brought back their frightening report was the lowest moment yet. They believed the ten spies’ negative assessment of their hopeless situation, forgetting (or disbelieving) God’s promises.

Joshua and Caleb tried to get the balking people back in line with God’s plan. All the weeping about their wives and children being in danger was nothing more than a mask to hide fear. So, Joshua and Caleb assured them that they had nothing to fear. They acknowledged the presence of the Canaanites but encouraged the Israelites with reminders of God’s presence. But their speech was more than just a positive thinking rally. They also warned their comrades not

to rebel against God. But it was too late. Unbelief had embraced the bad report and would not let it go. God was on the verge of destroying them then and there, but Moses interceded for them and pleaded with God to forgive them again. God relented but swore that the unbelievers would die in the wilderness.

Their rebellion was not without consequence — they would not conquer or enter the promised land. After Moses announced God’s decision, they cried and said they were ready to go and fight. But they were out of sync with God. When he said, “Go,” they wanted to stay.

When he said, “You’re not going,” they tried to go without him, and suffered a disastrous defeat.

Centuries later, Paul described the stories of Israel’s faithless failure like this: “Now these things happened to them

as an example, but they were written down for our instruction, on whom the end of the ages has come” (1 Corinthians 10:11). He said the things that were written were “for our instruction” (Romans 15:4).

What can we learn from this sad account of failure?

Let’s remember that the majority is not the authority.

A big crowd is not always right and is very often wrong.

We Americans embrace the principle of majority rule. But Numbers 14 reminds us that a majority that does not respect God’s will and purpose is doomed.

Let’s also learn that repentance is more than crying big tears; it’s also opening our ears. Repentance that mourns over past failure but still lacks the resolve to submit to God is not real repentance at all.

And let’s understand that the ugly fruit of grumbling

grows from the bitter root of unbelief. When we as God’s people grumble and complain, we need to remember that the real source of our discontent is doubting the covenant faithfulness of God. God said he had given them the land before the spies even went in (Numbers 13:1). But the people believed the scary report more than they believed God. If we trust God keeps his word, we do not have to be afraid in our circumstances or murmur about them.

When we trust God, we will obey him.

You and I will be blessed if we learn and remember that God is right no matter who says otherwise that real repentance is far more than just being sorry for what has happened to us, and grumbling betrays a lack of trust in the Lord. Which of these lessons from history do you need most in your life today?

Tallassee softball enters regional tournament as No. 2 seed

By DALTON MIDDLETON Sports Editor The Tallassee softball team had a minor setback in the first round of the AHSAA Class 5A, Area 5 tournament last week, but that didn’t stop the Lady Tigers from clinching a regional berth.

Tallassee finished as the No. 2 seed in the Area 5 tournament last week, losing to Brewbaker Tech 20-19 in the area championship. The Tigers lost to Pike

Road, 4-2, in the opening game of the tournament.

Tallassee now enters the regional tournament with a 19-13 overall record and will face Area 7 winner Demopolis (17-15-1) in the first round of the regional tournament on Wednesday at 9 a.m.

The winner will face the winner of Holtville and Shelby County, while the losers of each game will face each other in an elimination game.

Elmore County softball claims area championship with sweep of Holtville

By DALTON MIDDLETON Sports Editor Much like it did in the regular season, the Elmore County softball team crushed through the AHSAA Class 5A, Area 6 softball tournament this week.

Elmore County won the Area 6 championship, going 3-0 during the tournament in convincing fashion.

The Lady Panthers beat Jemison, 11-1, in the opener, before beating Holtville 14-0 in the second round and then 13-0 in the championship.

With the championship win, Elmore County enters the Class 5A

regional bracket as a No. 1 seed and will face Central of Clay County, Area 8’s No. 2 seed, on Wednesday at 9 a.m.

Elmore County enters the regional tournament with a 34-12-1 overall record and they’ve won six of their last seven games, with the only loss coming by two runs to Wetumpka.

“I was really proud of the girls,” head coach Mark Segrest said. “The first step in trying to achieve our goal is getting to regionals, and we were able to achieve that. I would say that for the last two weeks, I’ve been really pleased with their effort

and intensity. The hope is to be playing your best ball towards the end of the year, and at least right now I feel like we’re doing that.”

The Lady Panthers are certainly playing their best ball of the season in the pitcher’s circle. Aubrey Allen is as consistent as she ever is, as she has a 1.04 ERA in 236 innings this season.

Allen pitched in both of the wins over Holtville, but she wasn’t the team’s only pitcher to impress during the tournament. Junior Hailey O’Brien pitched twice and See ELMORE, Page B2

Wetumpka softball claims area championship, readies for regional play

By DALTON MIDDLETON Sports Editor The Wetumpka softball team had no issue punching its ticket to the regional tournament as they easily swept through the AHSAA Class 6A, Area 5 tournament.

Wetumpka claimed the Area 5 tournament on Thursday night, beating Benjamin Russell in the championship, 10-4. The Lady Indians went 2-0 in the tournament after earning a first-round bye, and beat Benjamin Russell in the second round on Wednesday, 9-1.

Those two wins were the only wins that Wetumpka needed to claim the area championship.

Now, the Lady Indians turn their sights to regional play, where they face Area 7 runner-up Brookwood in the first round on Tuesday at 11 a.m.

“I thought we showed up ready to go and played with great energy,” head coach Daryl Otwell said.

“I didn’t think we played our best, but I thought they competed very well.

They had a lot of energy and ran the bases well and did a lot of good stuff.”

The Lady Indians got two really good pitching performances from their staff in the tournament.

Sophomore ace Mya Holt started both games, and she threw a complete game in Game 1 with strikeouts.

The only run she gave

up was unearned as it came around to score on a throwing error.

Holt started in Game 2, but only pitched three innings. Ella Watson came in and pitched three innings, while Ashley Burgess came in and pitched the final inning of the game. The three combined allowed only five runs in the two games, “Mya looked good in Game 1,” Otwell said.

“She had a great performance. We got a little bit of work from all three of our pitchers on Thursday so that was good. We treated it kind of like a bullpen day and got everyone some work and hopefully they’re sharp and crisp on Tuesday.”

Wetumpka enters the regional tournament with a 39-9 overall record and the Lady Indians have been playing some of their best softball as of

She currently has a 2.03 ERA in over 100 innings pitched. Along with O’Brien, seventh grader Lalah Culpepper has been consistent in her pitching performances.

She came in and pitched in relief twice this week.

She has a 3.08 ERA in five appearances this season.

“Our pitching did great as you can see from the scores,” Segrest said. “Our pitching was outstanding all tournament and we only gave up a handful of hits and one run. Any time your pitchers are that effective, it gives you a great chance to win.”

The pitching has been there all year, and now they’ll get tested by Central of Clay County on Wednesday at 9 a.m.

late. They’ve won 12 of their last 13 games with their last loss combing against Chilton County on April 25.

Their last loss before then was on April 8.

During that stretch, Wetumpka has turned in some impressive outings by run-ruling Tallassee and Calera and beating Beulah, Hewitt-Trussville and Elmore County.

“We’ve really turned it on over the past month,” Otwell said. “Going into the regionals, you CLIFF WILLIAMS | THE TRIBUNE have some really good Wetumpka pitcher Mya Holt picked up two wins as the Lady Indians clinched the AHSAA Class teams like Helena and 6A, Area 5 championship last week.

and finished runner up in its area tournament. The Volunteers lost in their area championship to Shelby County, 26-2.

Despite the big loss, Segrest knows it will be no easy feat awaiting his team in the first round on Wednesday.

“We go in with the mindset that if you make it to there regional tournament, you’re certainly capable,” Segrest said. “I expect them to field a pretty good team and we will certainly have to be ready to play to advance.

We are going to have to put some runs on the board and be more consistent at the plate. If we do, I think we can compete with anyone in the tournament.”

“They got a new coaching staff this year and they have that program headed in the right direction. They have some good talent there and they have the Reed Jordan kid who is a challenge. They’re going to be very good and have a couple arms. It’s going to be a tough test for us for sure.”

Why you need dental insurance in retirement.

Many Americans are fortunate to have dental coverage for their entire working life, through employer-provided benefits. When those benefits end with retirement, paying dental bills out-of-pocket can come as a shock, leading people to put off or even go without care.

Simply put — without dental insurance, there may be an important gap in your healthcare coverage.

When you’re comparing plans... f Look for coverage that helps pay for major services. Some plans may limit the number of procedures — or pay for preventive care only.

Public Notices

f Look for coverage with no deductibles.

Some plans may require you to pay hundreds out of pocket before benefits are paid. f Shop for coverage with no annual maximum on cash benefits. Some plans have annual maximums of $1,000.

Medicare doesn’t pay for dental care.1

Previous dental work can wear out.

That’s right. As good as Medicare is, it was never meant to cover everything. That means if you want protection, you need to purchase individual insurance.

Even if you’ve had quality dental work in the past, you shouldn’t take your dental health for granted. In fact, your odds of having a dental problem only go up as you age.2

Early detection can prevent small problems from becoming expensive ones.

Treatment is expensive — especially the services people over 50 often need.

The best way to prevent large dental bills is preventive care. The American Dental Association recommends checkups twice a year.

Consider these national average costs of treatment ... $217 for a checkup ... $189 for a filling ... $1,219 for a crown.3 Unexpected bills like this can be a real burden, especially if you’re on a fixed income.

Graduation is when a student completes a school program, such as high school. It is also sometimes used to refer to the passing from one grade level to the next. Each year, students gather for their commencement ceremonies, or graduation. Preschool children often have a miniature graduation ceremony, marking their passing to Kindergarten. High school students who have completed all school requirements receive their high school diplomas at graduation, and college and university students of all ages receive degrees each year at commencement ceremonies. To complete a course of study is considered a great achievement. Parties with families and friends are often held in the graduate’s honor. At the ceremony, traditional dress of a cap and gown is worn by the candidates for commencement. Once they have received their degree from a school official, they traditionally move the tassel on their cap, or mortarboard, from the right side to the left side, symbolizing their passing from a candidate for graduation to an actual graduate. This is often referred to as the “turning of the tassel.”

NOW HIRING IN ELMORE COUNTY Staff report TPI Staff

B Gross Out Camp heading to Elmore County Staff report TPI Staff Slimy salamanders, slugs, bugs, crawdads and roly polies are all being found this summer as campers explore their world at Gross Out Camp through hands-on field biology.

In this award-winning science camp, campers from first through fourth grades learn about plants, trees, animals and chemistry.

“Gross Out Camp is a grand adventure for children.

Nothing is more fun than learning when you are free to study what you find. Gross Out Camp is designed to engage children in the Great Outdoors, where they develop life skills along with scientific knowledge and critical thinking,” said Verna Gates, founder and executive director, in a press release about the camp.

The camp combines science experiments, exploring, journaling and nature-inspired arts and crafts to address a variety of learning styles.

Activities include Meet-aTree (scientific observation), Build-a-Beast (scientific method), and making slime (chemistry).

The camp runs from June

13-17 at Gold Star Park from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. with before and after care available from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Each camp consists of 20 campers taught by an expert in outdoor education. The cost is $250 for the week, and scholarships are provided by a local donor.

“We have never turned a child away because they couldn’t pay. We make a way,” said Gates.

In 2021, Fresh Air Family awarded more than $30,000 in scholarships to children whose families could not afford the camp.

Founded in 2006, Fresh Air Family has served thousands of children and families in camps, weekend adventures and school field trips.

Fresh Air Family guarantees tired, dirty children. Fresh Air Family is dedicated to environmental and scientific education, outdoor exploration, and an appreciation of the beautiful and biologically diverse state of Alabama.

PUZZLES & HOROSCOPE ARIES (March 21-April 19) You’re focused on money and possessions. This is a good thing, because although one doesn’t need to be obsessed about money and possessions, on the other hand, you cannot ignore this reality. Take stock.

What are your assets? What do you own? Tonight: Avoid decisions.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Right now, the Sun is in your sign, which is a marvelous opportunity that comes once a year and lasts for four weeks. This boosts your energy and improves your luck. It’s the perfect time to go after what you want. Use this opportunity to your advantage! Tonight: Socialize!

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) If that little voice on your shoulder tells you to lie low and take things easy today, listen to it. You have been ambitious. You also have been friendly with others. Right now, you need to take a breather and pull your act together before you take it on the road. Tonight: Cocoon.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) This is an excellent day to think about your long-term goals. Goals can be invaluable. They give you a clearer focus on what’s important.

They make future decision-making easier. They give you better control over your future and how it unfolds.

And they give you a sense of purpose. Tonight: Fun discussions.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You are still basking in the flattering light of the Sun at the top of your chart. Since this happens only once a year, make the most of it! Bosses, parents and VIPs are impressed with you even if you don’t do anything special. Use this! Tonight: Don’t shop.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You want to get outta Dodge. You need a change of scenery! You want a chance to explore new places, meet new faces and learn new ideas.

Therefore, shake things up a little!

Go someplace you’ve never been before. Ideas? Tonight: Enjoy!

classifieds@alexcityoutlook.com public.notices@alexcityoutlook.com

Reaching more than 22,000 households in Tallapoosa and Elmore counties

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You are private about your finances.

Many are. (People will discuss their sex life before their salary.) Stay in touch with important paperwork related to taxes, debt, insurance issues and shared property. Don’t put these papers in a neat pile and forget about them. Tonight: Relax.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) This is a fortunate time, because with the Sun opposite your sign, you have more objectivity to observe your closest relationships. This objectivity will allow you to see how to improve these relationships. Note: Focus on what you can do, not the other person. Tonight: Be friendly.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You’re gung-ho to accomplish a lot, because you have focus, motivation and the energy to follow through on your ideas. This is because the Sun is helping you work hard and get better organized. Use this gift and act on it. What more could you want?

Tonight: Don’t volunteer.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Everything to do with the arts, playful times with children, social outings and sports events will appeal to you now. You often bury yourself in your work because you have a strong sense of responsibility. Today, however, is an excellent time to play.

Make plans with a friend. Tonight: Explore ideas!

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Some of you are focused more than usual on a parent, perhaps taking care of them or being more involved in their life. Others are happy to cocoon at home today to hide or regenerate because it feels good.

(Include some fav snacks.) Tonight: Postpone decisions.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Errands, appointments, short trips plus reading and studying are some reasons you’re busy! Accept the fact that your pace has accelerated with these increased demands on your time. Get cracking! Tonight: Listen.

Why you need dental insurance in retirement.

Many Americans are fortunate to have dental coverage for their entire working life, through employer-provided benefits. When those benefits end with retirement, paying dental bills out-of-pocket can come as a shock, leading people to put off or even go without care.

Simply put — without dental insurance, there may be an important gap in your healthcare coverage.

When you’re comparing plans... f Look for coverage that helps pay for major services. Some plans may limit the number of procedures — or pay for preventive care only.

Public Notices

f Look for coverage with no deductibles.

Some plans may require you to pay hundreds out of pocket before benefits are paid. f Shop for coverage with no annual maximum on cash benefits. Some plans have annual maximums of $1,000.

Medicare doesn’t pay for dental care.1

Previous dental work can wear out.

That’s right. As good as Medicare is, it was never meant to cover everything. That means if you want protection, you need to purchase individual insurance.

Even if you’ve had quality dental work in the past, you shouldn’t take your dental health for granted. In fact, your odds of having a dental problem only go up as you age.2

Early detection can prevent small problems from becoming expensive ones.

Treatment is expensive — especially the services people over 50 often need.

The best way to prevent large dental bills is preventive care. The American Dental Association recommends checkups twice a year.

Consider these national average costs of treatment ... $217 for a checkup ... $189 for a filling ... $1,219 for a crown.3 Unexpected bills like this can be a real burden, especially if you’re on a fixed income.
