Franklin said investigators with the Elmore County Sheriff’s Office have the alleged victim’s phone. Authorities collected Wilson’s phone as well. “You could see a conversation between the two,” Franklin said. “Mr. Wilson is going to contend someone had the security code to his phone and he was not responsible.

vet, knowledgeable horse people at farm stores, horse stables, horse events, County Extension Office & even your local humane shelter. Has a veterinarian checked the horse’s teeth? As equines age they can develop very sharp points on the outer edges of their teeth that can cause them pain and problems chewing properly. Digestion starts in the mouth and improperly chewed food will not digest as well. A veterinarian can ‘float’ your horse’s teeth to get rid of the sharp points. Floating can be done on the farm and for many older equines should be done at least once per year and can make an amazing improvement in their physical condition. It is important that your horse be fed the appropriate feed for its needs. Some equines may do fine just grass and hay, while others will need supplemented with grain. But all feeds are not created equal – an “easy keeper’ horse might do fine on a standard maintenance grain while an older or health impacted horse might need a Senior or special

And one caution – if you see a horse in bad shape, do NOT go buy a bag of sweet feed/ grain and dump it over the fence, go to the farmer’s market for a pile of vegetables, or dump your grass yard clippings as your good intentions could kill a horse. Overfeeding or improperly feeding even a healthy horse can be deadly! If you suspect a horse is being neglected or treated cruelly contact the Elmore County Sheriff Department at 334-567-5227 so their Animal Control Officer (ACO) can investigate.

t was a close game, and my son’s Little League baseball team “The Hot Rods” was holding on to a narrow lead out in the field. An opposing batter rapped a ball to shortstop and ran to first, just barely beating the throw. But as the runner’s foot hit the bag, her helmet flew off, and we could see her pigtails flying. Everyone froze, and the opposing coach on the mound looked at me in shock. As my son’s team coach, I could have called a forfeit, and put a much needed “W” in our column. Instead, I made the sign for “safe” at first. The coach gasped out an apology. “She wanted to play, and they don’t have a softball league yet.” Well, our team hung on and prevailed, giving The Hot Rods a winning record by the narrowest of margins.

The game-changer turns 100

he oft-overused description of “game changer” is applied to a lot of people in a variety of situations, but this past week a television icon celebrated his 100th birthday. He is still considered to be the most influential TV producer of all time. Norman Lear’s name is synonymous with another term – “groundbreaking.” Lear’s early life could not have foretold what kind of influence he would have on the entertainment world. The son of Ukrainian-Russian parents, Lear and his sister were raised by their mother, as the father had gone to prison when Lear was only nine years old. After high school graduation, Norman attended college for a time, but enlisted in the U.S. Army Air Forces after World War II broke out. He served in the European theater and flew 52 combat missions over Germany. Following the war, Lear began a career in public relations. Though he had grown up in Connecticut and Massachusetts, he decided to settle in California, where he knew a first cousin in Los Angeles whose husband was a comedy writer. Lear sold family photos and home furnishings door-to-door while also working on some comedy sketches with his relative, Ed Simmons. Simmons and Lear were hired to write for the comedy team of Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis, and became the writers of their show, The Colgate Comedy Hour, for three years. Later, Lear wrote for series starring Celeste Holm, Martha Raye, Tennessee Ernie Ford, and Henry Fonda. By the early 1970s, Lear had also written and directed a couple of films including the dark comedy “Cold Turkey,” starring Dick Van Dyke. He had another pet project, however, that totally went against all the writing and producing he had been doing since he arrived in L.A. – a situation comedy that would in some ways be a throwback to the early days of television, while moving the medium into territory

It’s Back to School Time! In the next few weeks, lots of kids will once again begin school following their Summer break. Some students will be returning to the same school they attended last year, and some will be starting at new schools. Many people are excited to begin a new school year, but oftentimes some people can be very nervous about going back. Whether you are in Elementary School, Middle School, High School, or even College, remember to be kind to those who seem a little bit anxious. There are many types of school settings and classrooms that are used for learning. Some of us go to traditional classrooms in school buildings. Others may be taught at home by a parent or family member. This is called homeschool. Others attend school online, or virtually, where their lessons are taught by their teachers on the computer. No matter which type of classroom you will be attending this fall, there are a few things that can help you be successful in your studies. Set an alarm for school and wake up with plenty of time to get ready. Get your favorite outfit ready the night before. Be sure to give yourself plenty of time to eat a healthy breakfast before beginning school. During school, never participate in bullying; be kind; and listen to your teachers. It is important to remember that all the people with whom we attend school deserve respect! Have a great school year!

How do you see yourself? F

or by the grace given to me I say to everyone among you not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think with sober judgment, each according to the measure of faith that God has assigned” (Romans 12:3). When you look in a mirror or see a picture of yourself, do you like what you see? Most of us don’t. We see all the flaws. When you talk to yourself about yourself, do you say derogatory things? Most of us do; we chip a little more of our confidence away with each unwholesome repetition. Do you feel it necessary to deflect every compliment? Friend: “You look very nice

MIKE McElroy Columnist today.” You: “Oh, you better have your eyes examined.” Friend: “I like that dress.” You: “This old rag? It’s horrible! Look--here’s a spot where I spilled coffee on myself this morning. I’m so clumsy!” Sincere church member: “That was such a good sermon!” Preacher: “Well, no, it wasn’t, but it’s very kind of you to say so.” While most of us are quite familiar with this behavior because we do it a lot, I can think of two kinds of people

who are unable to identify with that description. The first person who doesn’t talk and behave like this is arrogant. A man puffed up with pride may like every photo of himself, agree with every compliment and wonder why more people can’t appreciate his superior intelligence and skill. Our distaste for that sort of arrogance may drive us to a false modesty. Even if we really would like to look better or believe something good about ourselves, we can’t let anyone think we feel that way. So, we recite our self-deprecating litany of faults and flaws. The other person who doesn’t wallow in how unattractive or inadequate

he is has learned to find his or her significance and worth in God. They see their abilities as gifts from him. They do not deny that they have good qualities, but they give God the glory for them. This genuine humility is so beautiful. It’s how Paul described himself: “Such is the confidence that we have through Christ toward God. Not that we are sufficient in ourselves to claim anything as coming from us, but our sufficiency is from God,” (2 Corinthians 3:4-5). You are of great worth to God! He loves you so much that he gave his Son for you! You possess Godgiven abilities and gifts! It’s when we feel sorry for ourselves or when we look

for the good in ourselves apart from him that we slip into that hyper-critical, bitter negative self-talk. Are you going to believe what you tell yourself or what God tells you? Thinking soberly about all this will allow us to say with Paul, “But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace toward me was not in vain. On the contrary, I worked harder than any of them, though it was not I, but the grace of God that is with me” (1 Corinthians 15:10). When we learn to see false modesty for the hypocritical, self-centered thing that it really is, and find our true worth and significance in God’s grace toward us, we can see ourselves in a better light.

Tallassee senior Abbie Davis, who recently committed to Coastal Alabama South, hits a ball last season.

And the 2022-2023 sports season officially begins

t’s finally back. After just a very, very short few months of sports slowing down, the 2022-2023 sports season has officially started in Elmore County. As of Monday morning, August 1, football, volleyball and cross country teams across the state are allowed to begin practicing. All six high school football teams will have their players out in the heat, trying to prepare for the football season that begins in less than three weeks. Thankfully for them, volleyball players practice inside. But nonetheless, they’re back at it. Both football and volleyball begin varsity games on Thursday, August 18. The next three weeks will fly by. I’ve been zoned in on the start of football season the last two weeks. We, at the Herald, Tribune and Outlook, have been putting together our preseason Gridiron Guide. I completed all 15 pieces of content for it on Sunday afternoon.

DALTON MIDDLETON Sports Editor This year’s Gridiron Guide wasn’t quite as tough as last season’s. I didn’t know much about the teams last year, and I got tasked with doing the magazine about two weeks after starting the job. But after a full season and off season of watching the teams and talking to coaches, I actually knew a lot of the players and what was going to be the key themes on each team. That helps out. Knowing the teams also allowed me to add a new story into the magazine. I decided to do an individual player feature on one of the top players in the county. I wrote it on Wetumpka linebacker Justin Crumbaugh, and I really enjoyed the talk

Talk is cheap, but that’s why I’m buying

he general consensus regarding Bryan Harsin’s demeanor and what he had to say at Media Days was overwhelmingly positive. That opinion didn’t just come from Auburn fans, but a wide variety of pundits around the Southeast. Harsin was clearly more comfortable and much more personable in his sophomore season. One simple way that manifested itself was literally in the way he responded to questions. In 2021, his opening statement was nearly 15 minutes long. The SEC only schedules 30 minutes for the opening statement and ques-

tions. This year, the opening statement was less than six minutes. Harsin also had a penchant for answering a simple question with a five or six minute response which significantly limits the number of questions he had to take. This year, his answers were succinct, concise and to the point. They were still plumped up with a lot of coach speak, but that’s true of every HC in college football. Well, except for maybe Mike Leach. The point is, Bryan Harsin is legitimately growing into the job. He has apparently learned from a difficult first year and made

some tangible adjustments. That was something Gus Malzahn was never able to do in eight years. That certainly doesn’t guarantee anything moving forward, but I definitely see it as a positive sign. Tank Bigsby, Derick Hall and John Shenker all represented Auburn extremely well and all spoke about a common theme. They all talked about the turmoil regarding Coach Harsin during the off-season and how it has galvanized the team. Hall has been an ardent supporter of Bryan Harsin from the beginning and was rather candid

ANDY GRAHAM Columnist about the fractured nature of the team a season ago. Bigsby and Shenker both echoed his statements about the lack of “buy-in” from some teammates. They also made it clear that those individuals are no longer with the team. It is now one locker room of a singular focus. Bryan Harsin called Tank Bigsby the most improved player on the team as far as leadership is concerned. Bigsby had some moments of obvious frustration last year, but

appears ready to give his all in one final season on the Plains. I love the fact that everyone is working harder and is more focused. It makes me wonder what last year’s team could’ve accomplished if they had actually been on the same page. They were 6-2 and ranked No. 13 in the country before the season fell apart. This is the talking season and that’s what Media Days is all about. Everything that Coach Harsin talked about sounds really good to me. Everything the players talked about sounds really good to me.

He’s had previous success at the Loretta Lynn Ranch when he finished 4th overall when he was six. Following this year’s championships, Holbrook will retire his 2022 Husqvarna 65cc bike and will begin riding full time on a Factor Suzuki 85cc. Holbrook also has many

program. Davis played a big role with the Tigers this year as a corner outfielder, and she knows she has the skills to play in the outfield at the next level. Not only does she have the skills to play at the next level, but she has the work ethic. “I feel like I have a really good work ethic and can really bring that to college,” Davis said. “I don’t really complain a lot and I try to encourage others to be the best that they can be. I love to work out and I think I bring that to the table.” The Sun Chiefs have had a very successful program under Radwitch. They have won at least 30 games in every season under Radwitch since 2016, and they’ve won a combined 213 games since 2016. The only season they didn’t win 30 games during that span was during the COVID-19 shortened 2020 season when they finished 16-6. Two years ago, they went 34-19 and won the Southern Division Championship. Last season, they went 43-15 overall with a 24-4 conference record. Their 43 wins tied the single-season record for wins in a season. “They’re a really, really good program,” Davis said. “It starts with how good their workout program is and they really get you in shape down there. I’m really excited for that and I’m just excited to be there.”

I had with him and Wetumpka coach Bear Woods about him. So all-in-all, the magazine will have previews, information blocks, rosters, and schedules on each team. It will also have a themed cover story, which is focused on the area quarterbacks.

Every team returns their starting quarterback this year, so I wrote about them. Other than that, there’s a preseason all-county team. I tried to pick some of the top players in the area and put them on there. If you or your kid aren’t on there, I’m sorry. Prove me wrong. I love to see the kids in the county flourish. So yeah, I’m all in on

football season right now. But that doesn’t mean I’m not giving volleyball some love. I have decided to try and do a full volleyball preview section. That will include, tentatively, each team’s schedule along with a preview on the team and some type of feature story. That could be on an individual player or just something interesting. After talking with the folks above my pay grade, I think we have decided to spread it out across three weeks due to doing a few stories on each team. So expect to see our volleyball preview section starting next Wednesday, August 10. It will feature two of the six teams in the county. Then two more will

come out on August 17, then two more on August 24. I’ll spend the next few weeks going to football, but now also volleyball practices, to try and bring everyone some solid preseason content. Hopefully all the content works out to be as special towards each team as we think it can be, but nonetheless, I’m excited for the seasons to be beginning over the next few weeks. I’m ready for another year of really, really good sports seasons in Elmore County. Heck, go ahead and bring on some more state championships. We had two teams win one and three play in them during my first year, so I’ve been spoiled. I want to see some more.

get between the lines. I think we’ll find out pretty quickly if everyone is really pulling in the same direction. Penn State, Missouri and LSU in weeks three, four and five will truly test the Tigers’ resolve. In the end, Bryan Harsin’s future as the head coach at Auburn won’t be decided on whether or not he’s personable. It all comes down to wins and losses. The more wins he puts on the ledger, the better recruiting will be and the more personable he’ll magically become.

Troy University’s John M. Long School of Music cuts the ribbon on a new mix room and announced a new MBA in Music Industry program with the Sorrell College of Business.Taking part in the announcement is, from left, Sorrell College Dean Dr. Judson Edwards, former dean of the College of Communication and Fine Arts Dr. Larry Blocher, interim Long School Director Dr. HuiTing Yang, Music Industry Coordinator Robert W. Smith, (back from left) Music Industry professor Eric Ward, CCFA Dean Mike Thrasher, and MBA student Chris Vrenna, a member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

MBA in Music Industry degree launched at TROY Staff Report TPI Staff Troy University’s Sorrell College of Business has teamed with the John M. Long School of Music in the College of Communication and Fine Arts to offer a groundbreaking program for students and working professionals in the music and entertainment industries. The Master of Business Administration in Music Industry is one of a select few AACSB accredited programs that blends 18 semester credit hours in business fields with 18 hours in music industry. Registration is under way for the first cohort and classes begin in August. “In addition to foundation and development courses in business, the MBA student has the opportunity to focus in multiple areas of the music industry including audio production, film scoring, music publishing, concert production and composition/arranging among others,” said Robert W. Smith, director of the Music Industry Program within the John M. Long School of Music. “The program is rich with content in a unique academic environment that fosters and promotes the connection between musical artist and audience in all artistic and business settings,” he said. Offered in the University’s new Flex format, students will have the option to attend classes in person, live online or recorded online – or a combination of all methods. On the business side, students will take classes in economics, finance, management, marketing and quantitative methods.

“Students will be qualified to work in all aspects of the music industry, from business operations to production and performance,” said Dr. William Neese, director of the MBA program in Sorrell College. In addition, to teachers of music industry, the MBA will be considered a terminal degree, meaning no higher degree is offered. “The Master of Business Administration focused on Music Industry is the next step in Troy University’s commitment to the quality education and preparation of our students for a lifetime of success,” Smith said. Smith and others in the Long School began the undergraduate music industry program nearly 20 years ago, and alumni of the program are actively engaged in the music and entertainment industry, estimated to be a $26 billion sector. TROY’s music industry program has stayed on the leading edge of the business, as well. A new mix room has been added that allows students to train in a “production facility of the future,” allowing production of songs and compositions by artists networked from various remote locations. “We are preparing our students for productive careers in the present and in the future,” Smith added. “Whenever and wherever humans have existed, music and entertainment have been a part of our daily lives. Through music, media and entrepreneurship, the Troy University MBA graduate will help mold and shape the future of this industry.”

PUZZLES & HOROSCOPE ARIES (March 21-April 19) A discussion with someone older or more experienced might help you today. Note: Whatever happens, you will have to go more than halfway when dealing with this person. Keep your ears open, because this person can help you in a practical way. Tonight: Patience. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You can accomplish a lot today because you’re willing to work hard. In fact, you will put up with discomfort and diﬃculty to persevere at what you want to achieve. Basically, you want to get the job done. This same self-denying attitude can apply to improving your health. Tonight: Respect your health. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Today you have a sober, realistic attitude when it comes to your kids, a social occasion or perhaps something to do with sports events. You want everything to unfold realistically and in a practical, doable fashion. No pie-inthe-sky stuﬀ -- not today. Just get it done. Tonight: Have patience with kids. CANCER (June 21-July 22) Today the past has a strong attraction for you, which is why you might reminisce about childhood experiences or earlier family events. You will prefer to stay at home and be comforted by the familiarity of your daily surroundings. Tonight: Keep the peace. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Today discussions with others will be about serious, practical matters. You won’t be inclined to talk about your feelings; however, if you have a problem, you might seek out the advice of someone older or more experienced. You want commonsense answers today. Tonight: Avoid arguments. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) If you deal with nancial matters today or practical issues regarding your possessions, you will likely make good progress, because you want to deal with doable issues. Your approach will be commonsense and logical, which is why you’ll get a lot done. Tonight: Busy discussions. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Today the Moon is in your sign dancing with stern Saturn. This promotes a more sober and realistic perspective of things from your point of view. It also gives you the ability to put up with adversity and strain, because you have the patience to deal with whatever you want to accomplish. Tonight: Listen. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Research will go well today because you are focused and not in a frivolous frame of mind. You will stick with your original intent to nd information or solve problems, even if you have to undergo some discomfort to do so. This is why you will get results. Tonight: Secrets are revealed. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) A conversation with someone older or more experienced might benet you today. This is why this is a good day to seek out an older person whose wisdom you respect and who might oﬀer you emotional support and practical suggestions. Tonight: Have patience with friends. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Discussions with bosses, parents and perhaps the police will be sober but hopefully practical and worthwhile today. In fact, people are willing to put up with discomfort today because they have the patience and perseverance to wait for the results they want. Tonight: Avoid power struggles. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) If you are studying something today, you will achieve a lot because you are focused and will continue studying until you have achieved what you want to learn. Others might use this same patient perseverance to deal with complicated travel plans, legal matters or medical issues. Tonight: Money squabbles? PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You will do well in discussions about shared property, inheritances, taxes or debt, because you’re willing to persevere and do your homework. You’re not going to quit at the rst boring annoyance. Perseverance and patience will bring you the results you want. Tonight: Accept what is.

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. 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.
