Chamber holds luncheon

welcoming members By Cliff Williams Staff Writer

Members of the Wetumpka Chamber of Commerce attend the chamber’s “A Taste of Our Home Town” luncheon.

The Wetumpka Chamber of Commerce held its annual luncheon to install new officers and board members for the first time in a while Thursday. The COVID-19 pandemic put a hamper on gatherings but the chamber celebrated the successes of business in Wetumpka. “We haven’t been able to do this for the last couple years,” chairperson Clay McConnell said. “Your attendance is an indication people want to get back together and have these opportunities to see each

The Third Friday Art Walk hosted by Main Street Wetumpka was another success. Hundreds of people wandered downtown Wetumpka to visit with artists. Even some of those going to the Elmore County High School prom stopped in to look around and take photographs.

Last week was National Animal Control Officer’s Week but also National Dog Bite Prevention Week® and they sadly do go hand in hand since Animal Control Officers spend a fair amount of their time responding to dog bite situations. PREVENTING dog bites is the goal as no one wants to see a child or adult injured, notwithstanding all of the medical, financial and legal issues that may also arise. Dogs bite for a variety of reasons, but most commonly as a reaction to something. A dog may bite to defend itself or its territory to include its puppies, toys, food or treats, or because it is scared, feels threatened, or has been startled. Dogs might bite because they are sick or sore due to injury or illness and might want to be left alone. Some dogs nip and bite during play which is one reason wrestling or playing tug-of-war with your dog is not advised. So what can you do to prevent dog bites? Socialize your dog – this will help your dog be more at ease, and less reactive when confronted with new situations, people and activities. Be a responsible pet owner by first selecting a dog that is right for your family and living situation so that it can get the exercise and mental stimulation it needs. Leash train your dog for its safety. Having it spayed or neutered can go a long way to reducing conflicts with other dogs that might endanger others. Ensure your dog is healthy through routine Veterinary

visits so an issue can be diagnosed before your dog is in pain or distress and becomes reactive. Understand your breed! Some breeds are very social with people and other animals where others are protective or guarded in their interactions. Don’t try to make a shy or overly protective dog be a social butterfly it was never meant to be. Educate yourself and your children about how to reduce risk by avoiding risky situations: • If the dog is not with its owner • If the dog is with its owner but the owner does not give permission to pet the dog • If the dog is on the other side of a fence—don’t reach through or over a fence to pet a dog • If a dog is sleeping or eating • If a dog is sick or injured • If a dog is resting with her puppies or seems very protective of her puppies and anxious about your presence • If a dog is playing with a toy • If a dog is growling or barking • If a dog appears to be hiding or seeking time alone • If the dog is clearly indicating to leave it alone And if you get a new dog, don’t rush everything – bring it home and let it explore, meet people and decompress on the DOG’s schedule – not yours. Definitely give your new puppy/dog time to get to know you, your family and home before subjecting it to the big scary world of dog parks, pet stores & public events. Sadly dog bites do happen, and, if so, please seek medical attention and report to local authorities for everyone’s safety.

Coosa County parent taken into custody after terrorist threats By CLIFF WILLIAMS Staff Writer Coosa County schools went into a “soft lockdown” as authorities took precautionary measures. Coosa County Sheriff Michael Howell said a parent made threats to forcibly take his children from school and cause bodily harm to several individuals. Howell said the sheriff’s department and officials with the Coosa County Board of Education cooperated on the in-

cident. “Due to the nature of this threat, I and Superintendent David Stover felt it necessary to eliminate the possibility of any threat and take all precauCHAPMAN tions necessary,” Howell said. “School was ended early today in order to keep all of our students

Who is Mike Durant?

any of you have asked the question, “Have you ever seen anyone simply run a media only campaign and avoid campaigning like Mike Durant has done in this year’s U.S. Senate campaign.” Surprisingly my answer for many of you is, “yes, I have.” Ironically, the man that Richard Shelby beat for this U.S. Senate seat 36 years ago, Jeremiah Denton, was almost a carbon copy of Mike Durant. Denton was a POW/national war hero of the Vietnam era. Like Durant, Denton had very distant ties to and knowledge of Alabama. They were both National War/POW celebrities who wanted to be a United States Senator from whichever state was convenient. Alabama had an open seat for the Senate in 1980. Denton called Mobile home but had not lived there since he was a boy. His father was a Naval officer and Jeremiah followed suit and went to the Naval Academy and became a navy officer and rose to the rank of Rear Admiral. When the race began, Denton was basically living in the Washington D.C. area. Alabama had not had a Republican senator since Reconstruction over 100 years earlier. The Republicans recruited Denton to break the barrier. Denton really did no personal campaigning in Alabama. He was a short-tempered military man whose personality had been even more exacerbated by seven years and seven months of captivity by barbaric Vietnamese. Denton was swept into office in 1980 in the Ronald Reagan Republican landslide. He never aspired to go into politics. He only wanted to be a good soldier. After his release from captivity, he came back to a hero’s welcome. Denton became Alabama’s first Republican and Catholic Senator and never really

STEVE FLOWERS Columnist campaigned. Denton became Alabama’s least effective and insignificant senator in our state’s history. He only served one six-year term, 19801986. During that one term, he never came to Alabama, never returned a phone call, and never responded to any letters. He began his career by announcing he was a United States Senator and not the Junior Senator from Alabama. He said his role was bigger than just taking care of mundane, senatorial duties and “kissing babies’ butts.” Thus, he immediately forewarned Alabamian’s that for the next six years, we would only have one U.S. Senator – the country would be blessed with our other senate seat. Mike Durant is amazingly similar, almost a clone to Jeremiah Benton. Unlike Denton who was born in Mobile, Durant was born and spent his entire formulative years in New Hampshire. Like Denton, Durant’s father was a military man. Mike Durant followed his father. As is well known, Durant was shot down and captured and made a prisoner of war for 11 days. Durant’s life is really a mystery after that point. He calls Huntsville his home and he has had a military defense company in Huntsville, which made him very wealthy through federal defense dollars. Durant’s being an Alabamian or Huntsvillian has come into question. Nobody seems to know him in Huntsville, much less the rest of the state. Speculation is that he lives

in Maryland, and he also has a very expensive home in Colorado. If he were to be elected to Alabama’s Senate Seat, he would probably go home to Maryland. Durant would not only be a phantom senate candidate, but he would also be our phantom senator. Durant has only voted in a Republican primary in Alabama one time in his life and that was in 2008. That means one of three things about him: (1) he is not a Republican, (2) he is not an Alabamian, or (3) he is not a Republican or an Alabamian. The only thing we do know about Durant is that he was born and raised in New Hampshire. Where I come from in Alabama, that would make him what we call a carpetbagger. A carpetbagger, who refuses to meet or ask any Alabamians for their vote. The only thing we know about him is that he can fly around in a helicopter and he can afford to buy a lot of television ads. Guess he thinks we are dumb enough to fall for that pig in a poke or he might find that after a while we will wake up and realize that Emperor has no clothes. Durant makes no pretense about the fact that he will not personally campaign in Alabama or even do interviews. You can bet your bottom dollar that wherever you live in Alabama, Durant has not been to your town or city and probably could not even tell you where it is located. You can rest assured that he does not know the difference between the Wiregrass and Sand Mountain. See you next week. Steve Flowers is Alabama’s leading political columnist.

labama has lots of money. The general fund budget and education trust fund budget saw investments of almost $11 billion in spending for 2023. Since we have it, why not spend it is the mentality. And that’s what has been planned - including pay raises for state employees and educators. There were a number of tax-relief measures handed out, and who doesn’t love tax relief, especially with the recent annual passing and pain of April 15. The Alabama Small Business Relief and Revitalization Act was passed, and it’s self-explanatory. (These are cliffs notes, remember – not the details.) There was also the repeal of the business privilege tax, which cuts that $100 minimum payment in half starting in 2023. Thank you, Sen. Tom Butler. And thanks to Lt. Gov. Will

Ainsworth and the Alabama Military Stability Commission, Alabama now leads the nation in military-friendly states with our new legislative package of bills that were passed – six in all. Then broadband funding was expanded and provides tons of money for investing in its future across the state, which is long overdue. Thank you again, Sen. Clay Scofield and Rep. Randall Shedd. Election integrity was addressed during the session with a bill that specifically stops private companies from funding election-related activities. Thank you, Rep. Wes Allen, who is a former probate judge. Constitutional Carry was passed, and law-abiding handgun owners no longer have to purchase a pistol permit in Alabama. Some will say that’s good, and some will say that’s bad. Just remember, reciprocal states will still require a state-issued permit when you travel.

Which bathroom children in public schools should use was up for debate – go figure. It was decided that students should use the bathroom that coincides with the gender to which they were born. There were other controversial bills that dealt with puberty-blockers, too. Goodbye to the 21 legislators who will leave us this year, as this is their last regular session of the Legislature. Many are retiring, others are seeking different offices, but they are all to be commended for their years of service. Best of luck and thank you to Senators Jim McClendon, Del Marsh, Priscilla Dunn, Malika Sanders-Fortier, and Jimmy Holley; plus Representatives Lynn Greer, Mike Ball, Allen Farley, Howard Sanderford, Mac McCutcheon, Kerry Rich, Mike Holmes, K.L. Brown, Louise Alexander, Merika Coleman, Rodney Sullivan, Rich Wingo, Wes Allen, Mike Jones, Steve McMillan and Victor Gaston.

ALL ABOUT FROGS!

FROGGY WORD FIND

Frogs are vertebrate animals (meaning they have a backbone) called amphibians. An amphibian is an animal that lives in the water during one phase of its life and on land during another. Frogs and toads belong to the same family. A frog is smaller, has smooth skin, and lives in the water. Toads are larger, have bumpy skin and live mainly on land. Frogs are found in all parts of the World, except Antarctica. They live in many different types of environments, such as water, trees, and burrows. There are many varieties of colors of frog skin. Some frogs have poisonous venom in their skin; these are usually brightly colored frogs. The male in most frog species is smaller than the female. The largest frog on Earth is the African Goliath frog which weighs in at around seven pounds and is over a foot in length. The smallest frog known today was discovered in Cuba in 1996. It is commonly referred to as the Monte Iberia Eleuth and measures to be only 8.5 millimeters long! Adult frogs go through a process called spawning where females lay their eggs, and a male fertilizes them once they are in the water. When the eggs hatch, the frogs begin their life in the water as a tadpole. A tad¬pole looks similar to a fish, but it is actually a baby frog. A tadpole only has a body, mouth, tail, and gills. As the tadpole gets older, it develops its body, tongue, and legs, and its tail falls off. When this process of metamorphosis is complete (after about 16 weeks), the tadpole leaves the water as a fully grown frog. Frogs are carnivores which means they eat meat, mainly insects, worms and sometimes other frogs. Fully grown frogs do not have to drink water in order to survive; they can absorb it through their skin.

Wetumpka man free after pleading guilty to sex crime By CLIFF WILLIAMS Staff Writer Following an indictment for second-degree rape in June 2021, Torando Hunt pleaded guilty to sexual misconduct last week. As part of the plea, Hunt, 23, of Wetumpka will have to register as a sex offender. Hunt had a 12 month jail sentence suspended in lieu of 24 months of unsupervised probation,

but that doesn’t preclude Hunt’s regular check-ins with law enforcement because of his sex offender status. An Elmore County Grand Jury indicted Hunt on the Class B felony second-degree rape. He was arrested in July 2021 and released on a $40,000 bond. The Code of Alabama defines second-degree rape as a suspect being 16 or older and engaging in sexual intercourse with someone betwen

the ages of 12 and 16 and the suspect being at least two years older than the victim. Second-degree rape is also considered as sexual intercourse where someone is incapable of consent. If Hunt was found guilty of second-degree rape he could have been sentenced to between two and 20 years in prison. Sexual misconduct is a Class A misdemeanor.

Why do we do what we do?

t was unique in the history of telephone calls. She asked the ministry assistant if she could talk with the pastor and we connected. “I won’t give my name,” she said, so I conversed with this unknown person for some time. She explained she was married to an area pastor, and her husband thought he and she ought to be blameless in every regard. No argument from me. Then she further explained how her church received offerings. “At the end of the service, a deacon reads the envelopes or checks and tells how much

everybody gave,” she said. “My husband gives more than we can afford because he knows we have to be exemplary. What should I do?” Well, only one of many times I filibustered while trying to think of a rational response. Granted, it was unusual to talk with anyone who felt they gave too much to the Lord’s work. In fact, I’d never heard this before. Nor had I heard of a church following this procedure. I thought this would happen in our church only once! Jesus had much to say about religious people who

“practiced their piety before men” (Matthew 6). He spoke of three spiritual pursuits. The first is “alms,” or as we would say, charitable giving. This is the origin of the famous saying, “Let not your right hand know what the left is doing.” The point is we give to God’s glory, not for our own. Then Jesus spoke of public prayers and fasting. Both praying and fasting are good but should be done to draw us closer to God, not to win praise from others. Back to the caller, I told her that I didn’t see any value in the way her church announced

Tallassee’s Hammonds steps down as head baseball coach By DALTON MIDDLETON Sports Editor After just one season of leading the program, Tallassee head baseball coach Kyle Hammonds has announced he is stepping down from the team. The news came following a 4-1 loss to area opponent Beauregard that ended Tallassee’s season short of the post-

season. The Tigers went 4-24 with a 2-6 record in area play in Hammonds’ one-year stint leading the team. The Tigers missed the playoffs for the fourth consecutive season. “I would like to thank everyone for allowing me the opportunity to coach Tallassee baseball,” Hammonds released in a statement to the Tribune. “I wish Tallassee success and

prosperity in the future.” Hammonds was hired one year ago, on April 20, 2021, to replace longtime coach Adam Clayton. Clayton coached the Tigers from 2009 to 2021. Before taking the job at Tallassee, Hammonds coached at Oak Grove and led his teams to a 218-155 overall record in 13 seasons to become the winningest coach in program history.

I can’t complain. I think we’re in Holtville, the AHSAA Class a pretty good spot right now.” By DALTON MIDDLETON Sports Editor

5A, Area 6 champions, will host Rehobeth, the No. 2 seed out of Area 3, on Friday night in the first round of the playoffs. Friday’s doubleheader is set for 4:30 and 7 p.m., with Game 3 being played on Saturday if necessary. The Bulldogs are hitting their stride at the right time, having won nine consecutive games and 12 of their last 13. Holtville’s last loss came on March 29 in an area loss to Marbury. Since then, Holtville has outscored its last nine opponents by 71 runs. “I think we’re playing pret-

The Stanhope Elmore baseball team has already faced Opelika twice this season, but neither of those games are as big as this week’s playoff matchup. Stanhope Elmore, the No. 2 seed out of AHSAA Class 6A, Area 5, travels to Opelika, Area 4’s No. 1 seed, for the first round of the playoffs. The two teams will play a doubleheader at Opelika on Friday afternoon. If Game 3 is needed, it will be played on Saturday. Opelika enters the game with a 25-6 overall record and a perfect 8-0 record in area play. The Bulldogs have won 19 of their last 20 games, with the lone loss during that stretch coming by the hands of Benjamin Russell. It has been over a month since Opelika has lost a game. “They’re a really good, senior-heavy team,” Stanhope coach Kaleb Shuman said. “We have seen them twice and unfortunately lost to them both times by one. At the end of the day, they’re a really solid team. They have 10 seniors and teams with a bunch of seniors don’t quit. They keep going. They’re all returning starters. They keep pressing you. You can’t put a team like that away.” The first two games between the two teams did not go Stanhope’s way. The Mustangs lost the first game with Opelika on February 19, 10-9. They met again on March 23, with Opelika winning 1-0 in nine innings. In the 10-9 loss, Stanhope led by as many as five See STANHOPE, Page B2

They’re eliminating some of those mistakes that we were making early in the year and we’re playing pretty good. I can’t complain. I think we’re in a pretty good spot right now.”

While Holtville is hitting its stride, Rehobeth has been on a slow stretch. The Rebels are 15-9 on the season and finished area play 2-2, losing two to area winner Headland. They’ve lost six of their last eight games, with it’s only two wins during that stretch coming See HOLTVILLE, Page B2 DALTON MIDDLETON | THE HERALD

The AHSAA’s Central Board of Control voted and approved changes to the sports of baseball, softball, soccer, football and bowling, beginning in the 20222023 school year. For baseball, schools will

change from competing in area play to region play with the top four teams advancing to the state playoffs. Currently, schools compete in area play with the top two teams advancing to the post-season. For softball, softball teams will also switch from area play to region play. The top four teams in the region standings will advance to the Softball Regional Tournament. Currently, softball teams play area tournaments at the end of

the season with the winner and runner-up advancing to the Regional Tourney. Soccer will also make the switch to regions, with the top four teams in each region advancing to the state playoffs. Currently, two teams from each area advance to the playoffs. Bowling made some changes to how their regular season matches are played. Instead of playing a best-of-seven baker match like teams did this year, bowling will move to one tra-

ditional round and three baker rounds beginning next season. Football had the smallest change that was approved. Based on NFHS recommendation, team boxes on the sidelines will now extend down to the 20-yard line. In the 2021 season, team boxes ended at the 25yard line. The biggest vote on the agenda was the approval of Pike Liberal Arts of Troy for membership to the AHSAA. Pike Liberal Arts has been competing in AISA.

With the move, Pike Liberal Arts will be eligible to compete for a state championship in every sport except for football. The football team will have to wait until the 2024-2025 school year to be able to compete for a state championship. That was due to the timing of the school’s application. The Pike football team has won back-to-back AISA AAA football championships as well as the basketball team, which has won two straight championships.

Reeltown baseball hitting its stride entering postseason By DALTON MIDDLETON Sports Editor The Reeltown baseball team has seen its fair share of troubles this season, but the Rebels are playing their best baseball of the year entering the postseason. Reeltown, the AHSAA Class 3A, Area 7 champions, will host Area 1 runner-up Cottage Hill Christian in the first round of the playoffs on Friday afternoon. Game 1 will begin at 5 p.m. on Friday with Game 2 following directly afterwards. If needed, Game 3 will be played on Saturday at Reeltown at 12 p.m. Reeltown, which enters the playoffs with a 9-14 overall record, has really turned its season around ANDY ANDERS | THE HERALD following a rough stretch Reeltown senior Gabe Bryant taps his helmet with a pair of teammates after blasting a two-run home run. Bryant leads the Rebels into a in March.

against Montgomery and Dothan. Despite the stretch, the Rebels have shown they can compete with solid teams this year. They’re allowing less than four runs per game, and their lineup is producing roughly seven runs per game. Even during their losing stretch, they’re still scoring runs. They’ve scored 51 runs over the last eight games, averaging just over six runs per game during the 2-6 stretch. “I think they have one or two pretty good arms on the mound, and that’s going to be the biggest thing,” Tubbs said. “They have a lefty that’s pretty good. After that, I think they have some guys who can swing the bat real well. I’ve been told they’re pretty scrappy and put some pressure on you.” Holtville has the talent on the mound to combat a talented lineup. Senior southpaw Todd Wilson will start Game 1, much like he has all season. Wilson has only a 2-1 record in nine appearances this year, but he

was kind of the story of the game. We gave them a lot of runs. Hopefully, this time around, we’ll do a little bit better of a job defensively and at the plate. They’re a pretty good team.” When the two teams take the field on Friday, Reeltown will run their best arm out there on the mound Gabe Bryant. Bryant has had an extremely successful season, but he isn’t the only pitcher on the Rebels’ staff. Chambers says the strength of this Reeltown team is the depth of their pitching staff that includes not only Bryant, but Jacob Hornsby, Colin Carleton, Seth Hill and others. Any of those guys can step onto the mound and fill up meaningful innings, and he’s confident in other pitchers who maybe haven’t pitched as many innings as those guys. “We’ve got guys who probably haven’t thrown as many innings as they should have, just based off how much depth we do have,” Chambers said. “Going into a three-game series, I feel like thats one of our strongpoints.”

leads the team in innings pitched and has a 2.33 ERA. He’s not the only threat on the mound, however. Tanner Potts (5-1, 3.42 ERA) and Drey Barrett (4-0, 2.31 ERA) are also starters who can make a lineup look silly, while Kason Shaffer has come out of the bullpen and pitched well as of late. The team also pitched last year’s ace, Randy Davis, for the first time last week against Jemison. He only pitched 1.2 innings for his first outing of the season, but he could see innings if needed. Tubbs said Davis is not the guy they’re looking to throw right now, but he could step on the mound if the opportunity presented itself. With or without him, he feels confident in his pitching staff. “Every one of those four or five guys can get the job done,” Tubbs said. “It’s just if we’re playing good defense. I am pretty confident in our pitching going in as long as we pitch to contact. I think we’ll be ok. We get in trouble when we try to do too much. When we try to overthrow or strike guys out. As long as we let the guys let behind us play, we’re usually in good shape.”

STANHOPE Continued from B1

runs, and led 7-2 and 9-4 at two different times. But the Bulldogs never quit fighting, and ended up hitting a grand slam in the bottom of the sixth inning to tie it. They then walked off the game in the bottom of the seventh. In the rematch, Stanhope ace Colin Woodham pitched the game of his life, allowing only two hits in eight innings of work. Despite his performance, Opelika still won by scoring in the top of the ninth inning. Woodham will get his chance again to earn the win when he takes the mound on Friday in Game 1. When he does, Shuman knows his team will have to give the southpaw some run support. “The biggest thing when Colin is on the mound is that we have to find a way to score some runs for him,”

DALTON MIDDLETON | THE HERALD

Stanhope Elmore’s Colin Woodham pitches against Wetumpka. Woodham, the Mustangs’ ace, will start Game 1 on the mound against Opelika this week.

Shuman said. “He gives us that game every single time he steps on the mound. He gives us the chance to win. I know it probably sounds cliche, but he’s one of those guys where we just need to score three runs. If we score three runs with him on the mound, we will win pretty much every time.” Scoring runs against Opelika is a feat within itself. The Bulldogs have an impressive pitching staff, and

have allowed five runs or more in only 10 of their 31 games this season. On the other hand of that stat, they have held their opponents to one run or less in 10 games. Stanhope’s offense has been hit or miss this season, scoring 10 runs or more only eight times. They’ve been held to two runs or less in six games, including backto-back games against Benjamin Russell last week.

PUZZLES & HOROSCOPE ARIES (March 21-April 19) Later in the day, despite the Moon Alert, this is still a productive time for you. You can get a lot of work done, and whatever you do will likely impress bosses, parents, teachers and VIPs. Nevertheless, avoid important decisions during the Moon Alert. Tonight: Rest. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) This is a strong time for you, because the Sun is in Taurus and the other planets are supportive, which gives you a tremendous boost of energy! Work to get a lot done, even though it’s wise to avoid important decisions and shopping during the Moon Alert. Tonight: Catch up. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Continue to work behind the scenes and keep a low prole, because this will feel best for you. Nevertheless, your ambition will compel you to work and achieve your aims, especially late in the day and into the evening. By bedtime, you’ll think, “I did a lot.” Tonight: Satisfaction. CANCER (June 21-July 22) Enjoy this popular time, especially conversations with younger people. Continue to explore avenues in publishing, the media, medicine, the law and higher education or taking courses or learning something new. Tonight: Learn something new. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Keep your eyes open, because gifts, goodies and favors from others can come your way. (This is not surprising, because you are a generous sign, and what goes around comes around.) Meanwhile, you easily impress others. Keep this in mind if you need permission or approval. Tonight: Get prepared. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You might be able to solicit the help of someone else to get something done today. Admittedly, with Mars opposite your sign, you might nd someone a bit annoying. Fortunately, Venus opposite your sign will help soften this. Tonight: Stay steady. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

This is a fortunate day in terms of accomplishing what you want to get done. Don’t worry if you get a late start, because it will be later in the day when you get industrious! Look for ways to improve your job. Avoid important decisions during the Moon Alert. Tonight: Relax. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) This is a strong day for those of you who work with children, the arts or anything that is sports related. It will be a productive day if you work in the entertainment world or the hospitality industry, because you can make things happen. Nevertheless, avoid important decisions during the Moon Alert. Tonight: Talk to a friend. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You will get a lot done today related to home, family and your personal life. This will include renovating, redecorating and making improvements at home. Fortunately, you’re determined to be eﬃcient and eﬀective. This is a powerful combo for accomplishment. Tonight: Finish something. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Once the Moon enters your sign today, you will be a dynamo! This means you will have energy to work, and you will have the energy to socialize for the next few days. Oh yeah, burning the candle at both ends! Tonight: Keep working. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You’re busy with issues at home, family discussions and possible home repairs; in addition to which, you’re focused on earnings, cash ow and major expenditures. Lots of spinning plates in the air! Be smart and heed the restrictions of today’s Moon Alert. Tonight: Relax. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You’ve got lots of energy with ery Mars in your sign. This can make you bossy; however, with fair Venus in your sign as well, you will sweet-talk your way in and out of anything. This is a busy day with high-powered conversations. Agree to nothing important during the Moon Alert. Tonight: Important conversation.

Vol. 31, No. 16

Eclectic pharmacy burglarized, police seeking suspect STAFF REPORT The Eclectic Police Department is seeking the public’s help to find a suspected thief. Law enforcement was dispatched Monday morning to an Eclectic business to investigate a burglary and theft. “The Eclectic Family Pharmacy was burglarized by what appeared to be an unknown male suspect,” CrimeStoppers said in a release.

“The suspect stole assorted medicines from the pharmacy totaling an undisclosed amount. The suspect was described as wearing red pants, a black hoodie over his head, a white face cover, white gloves and blue shoes.” CrimeStoppers distributed an image captured from cameras inside the business of the alleged suspect in the hopes the public can assist in identifying the person they believe is responsible for the theft.

Anyone with information regarding the identity of this suspect or his whereabouts is asked to call police or CrimeStoppers using its 24-hour tip line at 215STOP (7867) or 1-833-AL1-STOP or download the P3-tips app. If anyone gives a tip, they are asked to make sure they receive a tip ID and password in order to dialog with Investigators in case there is a follow-up question. A tip may lead to a cash reward.

Donations sought for county disaster relief fund By CLIFF WILLIAMS Staff Writer The Elmore County Disaster Relief Fund was originally created following the April 2011 tornadoes to assist those with damage following the catastrophic storms. According to Judge Glenn Goggans the fund has assisted families multiple times since

then. “We have helped many people right here in Elmore County,” Goggans said. “We have distributed $460,000 since 2011 and with no cost to the non-profit.” Goggans said those who oversee the fund like himself, Michael Morgan and Elmore County EMA director Keith Barnett want to help those

whose Elmore County homes were damaged April 5. “We are wanting to help where we can,” Goggans said. “But with storms over the last few years, our funds are a little short. We are hoping everyone can help out again and we can do something for these people.” Goggans said there are no administrative costs involved with the fund. Barnett helps in

determining if the need is real and the rest of the committee listens and ultimately votes. “It’s usually only $1,000 or $2,000,” Goggans said. “It goes to help with immediate needs.” Goggans said the Elmore County Disaster Relief Fund has an account at First Community Bank of Central Alabama and donations can be

made there. The fund also works with the Central Alabama Community Foundation (CACF) and donations can be made online at cacfinfo.org and donated to the Elmore County Disaster Relief Fund. Those seeking help from the fund can email disasterrelief@ elmoreco.org or by mailing the application to PO Box 1060, Wetumpka, AL 36092.
