Police continue investigation, man no longer suspected By Jake Arthur Chief Videographer Police are still investigating the fatal shooting in the Wetumpka Walmart parking lot on Jan. 20. Police were dispatched to the parking lot around 10:45 p.m. for a “shots fired” call. Once there, they found Centell Winston, 42 of Tallassee, dead of a gunshot wound in the driver seat of his vehicle. According to Wetumpka police chief Greg Benton, this was not a random shooting. “This was not random, not a random act,” said Benton. “We believe the victim and the perpetrator knew each other.” This is the first homicide in Wetumpka in over three years. The last homicide in the city took place in 2018. “It’s not a good way to start out the new year,” said Benton. Benton didn’t want to speculate on the

cision. Edwards walked out with the board and announced the plan. “Guys, we have come to a mutual agreement,” Edwards told the parents and players gathered outside. “We are going to play ball.” The short announcement was met with cheers by everyone. Before the announcement, players and parents were concerned their season was being cut short just as 121 teams of the six city USAAA region were about to start a tournament Monday. The Wetumpka City Council held a special called meeting Friday where the agenda said it was set to take up potential litigation about agreements. It was a meeting where the council voted to close the fields until an agreement could be worked out. An hour and half after the council meeting started, the league received an email stating the fields on the Coosa River Parkway would be locked. The message set a firestorm into motion. Many parents took to social media and the city too. Soon the emergency Sunday afternoon meeting was set and plans of a protest at city hall came about. “There are [two] scheduled protests against the City of Wetumpka pertaining to the youth baseball and softball complex,” Volunteer coach Carl Grier wrote in an Elmore County Facebook page. “The second protest, if nothing comes of the meeting [Sunday], is tomorrow at the youth league complex… Almost all teams that are supposed to play Monday and Tuesday at the complex, will be out there in full uniform, ready to play and protest if we can’t get in.” Before the meeting started, youth, parents and supporters gathered at city hall. As the meeting started, some players took to the

lawn to toss a ball around. “It’s not fair,” 10-year-old Eason Clark said. “I can’t believe they are closing down the fields.” Chaise Crownover, 10, missed last season due to an injury. He too joined the protests. “I just want to play,” Crownover said. Players soon began to peer through windows of city hall just feet away from the meeting. Soon chants of “Let us play” came from the children in the ball uniforms. League officials came out to quiet the crowd four times saying they couldn’t hear the conversation inside. The protest went to the sidewalk in front of city hall. Players shouting “Let us Play” and holding signs garnering waves and the blaring of horns from those driving by. Grier encouraged the children to back up, but did say their voices would continue to be heard. “I thank every person for coming out here today,” Grier said. “We are going to continue to be out here. We are going to continue to be loud. Our voices will be heard. They will not be locking our children out.” Arguments played out on social media over the weekend and pointed out the city readily handed off the league to volunteers several years ago as it was losing money. Some argued the city wanted it back because it was turning a profit thanks to the work of the volunteers.

care is a growing area in our county.” In addition to the commission meeting, students got to tour the historic Elmore County Courthouse getting the chance to register to vote, visit with other county officials, visit with the two food pantries of Elmore County, visit with the Family Sunshine Center and the Butterfly Bridge. Students also got to see a demonstration of the Elmore County Tactical team.

FISCAL YEAR 2023 BUDGET

Elmore chief operations officer Richie Beyer said the process for the next budget is well under way.

The City of Wetumpka responded on its Facebook stating it did not want the league’s money but if there were excess funds, they should go toward the ballfields. The city’s post said it had been working for months to reach an agreement with the league. The Friday notice said the city wouldn’t open the fields again until it had signed agreements, financial disclosures including bank statements, and monthly treasury reports for the last 24 months. Details of Sunday’s mutual agreement are unknown. The next meeting of the Wetumpka City

“There are a few weeks left for department heads to make their submission,” Beyer said. “We are still in the process of getting the budget hearings set up for the early part of June.”

VACATING PROPERTY

The commission opened and closed a public hearing with no one speaking for or against the county vacating an unnamed road off of Shadow Wood Lane. The road was drawn into the plat of an old subdivision and never built. The commission approved the measure.

Council is scheduled for Monday, May 2. Grier and others questioned the timing of the lockout as the season was still under way. “I don’t care who’s at fault over this,” Grier said. “The board and city council can hash this out at the end of the season when kids are not playing. They are taking these kids and punishing them. It’s not fair.” Following Sunday’s announcement everyone was just happy the kids will be able to return to the fields. “I get to coach my son again,” Grier said. “He gets to play a game he and many others love.”

Anticipating 2022 election issues

very two years American citizens and others on certain lists get to vote at least once for representatives who promise to support their views in Washington. As usual the number one issue for voters is the economy. Inflation aka the Consumer Price Index grew 8.5 percent annual rate in March, the highest since December 1981. To put that rate into context, the CPI rate has hovered between 0.7 percent from 2012 to 1.4 percent in 2020. In 2021, the CPI jumped to seven percent before climbing steadily the past few months to 8.5 percent At the end of 2020 the U.S. was energy independent, and the average annual price of gas was $2.24 compared with $3.13 at the end of 2021. This year, according to the USDA, beef and veal will increase 16.2 percent pork 14 percent, poultry 12.5 percent, fish and seafood 10.4 percent and eggs 11.4 percent. Food prices around the world are escalating even higher with the UN reporting a record high in February of 20.7 percent increase year-on-year. Other issues that will draw voters to the polls in November include (in no particular order) our southern border and immigration, education, abortion, COVID-19 mandates, climate change and international relations. The Biden administration and

DANIEL GARDNER

Columnist

mainstream news outlets have essentially downplayed the southern border crisis despite unprecedented numbers. Border officials caught 221,303 illegal border crossers last month, the highest number in 22 years and 33 percent more than in February. The U.S. is set to record more than two million encounters this fiscal year, and that’s not counting 300,000 “got-aways” reported by border officials since October. Many of the “got-aways” escaped with hundreds of pounds of Fentanyl, compounding the 55 percent increase of seizures last year. Fentanyl has become the number one killer of 18–45-year-olds in the U.S. Of course, K-12 education has become a hotter issue in the age of COVID-19. Parents who stayed home got to see some of their children’s classes online. They also began diving into textbooks and other curricula that raised concerns about age-appropriate topics. Critical Race Theory (CRT) and a push to teach K-3 age students specifics about gender including the how to’s of transi-

tioning from one’s biological gender to “another” gender raised alarms. Parents’ concerns about CRT likely led to a stunning victory in Virginia’s governor’s race. The Democrat candidate, Terry McAuliffe, took his stand with K-12 teachers against parents having a say in what their children were being taught in school. The parents won. Abortion has been a perennial issue since Roe v. Wade, and it has become a much more contentious issue in connection with Supreme Court appointments. The Court has already heard oral arguments in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health, Mississippi’s challenge to Roe v. Wade, and the justices will likely decide the case next spring. No new Supreme Court appointments are expected before 2024 elections. COVID-19 mandates and climate change are issues for hardcore believers in the power of big government. Woke and naive voters will continue to follow the mesmerizing piper. And that leaves those nuisance relationships across the pond. The Easter Bunny’s ability to redirect reporters’ questions about Afghanistan as well as Russia, Ukraine, China, Iran, North Korea and the Middle East must surely have reduced tensions “over there” as well as here at home.

Alabamian helped work White House egg roll By BETH CHAPMAN Alabama’s Caleb Hicks was invited to the White House earlier this month to participate in the President’s annual Easter Egg Roll. Hicks was not just invited to participate but was given a leadership role (no pun intended) in helping manage the egg hunt section of this event. He and his fiancé, Katie Phillips, both worked the event and reported it was not only fun, but the opportunity of a lifetime. But it was more than fun for Hicks; it was work. Hicks is the communications and membership director of the Alabama Egg and Poultry Association, which is responsible for, among other things, promoting Alabama’s billion-dollar poultry and egg industry. The American Egg Board, which

manages promotions for the egg industry in the U.S., invited about a dozen people from across the country, and due to his job, Hicks was one of them. You may be familiar with the board via its well-known “Incredible Edible Egg” campaign. The White House Easter Egg Roll has been an annual event since 1878 when Rutherford B. Hayes was president. It has been held most years since then, except for inclement weather, war times and the past two years due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Approximately 30,000 people attended the event this year. They were selected through a national lottery. American farmers donated 100,000 eggs to the event and to the Maryland Food Bank. Americans decorate and eat approximately 3 billion eggs during the Easter season.

Hicks is quick to point out that Alabama does its part in the production of all things eggs and poultry. Alabama’s egg and poultry industry has an annual economic impact of $15 billion in our state. We rank second nationally in broiler production. Poultry is one of the largest industries in the state and makes up one-eighth of Alabama’s economy. It is responsible for 86,000 jobs and produces over 1billion birds each year. Out of the 1.7 million table egg laying hens, 500 million eggs are produced. That’s a whole lot of eggs. Thank you to Hicks for representing our state and one of its largest industries at the biggest egg hunt of them all at the biggest house of them all. Keep Alabama relevant. Eat more poultry and eggs.

Letter to the Editor

It was taxes, not slavery, said Abraham Lincoln

pril is Confederate History Month as proclaimed by the governor and Alabama Board of Education. Monday, April 25, is Confederate Memorial Day Holiday. If Russia’s invasion succeeds, the children in Ukraine will be taught Russia’s version of the war and not Ukraine’s. The same happened to the Confederate States of America, whose true version of Lincoln’s Tax War is suppressed by the Wall Street billionaires, who own most of the media and government. Over 150 years after Lincoln declared a war over taxes only and

not slavery, at all, these billionaires continue to divide Black and White Christians with their lie about a “war over slavery.” Divide and conquer is how they control the people of this world. Nevertheless, Christians believe that “Love rejoices with the Truth.” (1 Corinthians 13: 6) March 4, 1861, Lincoln declared in his first inaugural address: “I have no purpose to interfere with the institution of slavery in the States where it exists, and I have no inclination to do so.” (Par. 4) “The power confided to me will be used to collect the duties (tariffs) and

import taxes; but beyond what may be necessary for these objects, there will be no invasion.” (Par. 21) There is no proof of Lincoln (the only person to declare war) stating his war was over slavery, not even in his fake “Emancipation Proclamation.” Lincoln’s proclamations exempted a million slaves under his control from being freed, including General U.S. Grant’s four slaves. Slavery was not abolished, just the name changed to “Sharecropper.” Roger K. Broxton President of Confederate Heritage Fund

Hot Air Balloons

A hot air balloon is a flying device that uses hot air to stay afloat. They were invented by two brothers, Joseph and Etienne Montgolfier. The first successful flight was in Paris on September 19, 1783. Hot air balloons have two major parts--the envelope and the basket. The envelope is the balloon filled with hot air which provides the lifting required for flying. The basket is attached to the bottom of the balloon and is usually large enough to fit a, there are balloons designed to hold around 20-25 people. The hot air balloon works by filling the envelope with hot propane gas. Often times when you see a hot air balloon, you can see the flame that is produced when filling the envelope with more gas. The difference between the hot air inside the balloon and the cool air outside of the balloon is what creates the buoyancy that lifts it off the ground. The heat inside the balloon can range from anywhere between 250 to 450 degrees Fahrenheit. Hot air balloons, compared with modern methods of transportation, are very slow. They are also not as accurate when it comes to steering, but their direction can be influenced by the pilot, although they are moved through the sky largely by the wind. Because passengers of a hot air balloon are outside in high altitudes, it is a very smooth ride. The wind does not affect an individual person; instead, it moves the entire balloon. For this reason, only gusts of wind are generally felt, making for a smooth, peaceful ride.Wetumpka

Saturdays with Sawyer By CLIFF WILLIAMS Staff Writer Don Sawyer’s artwork is scattered throughout downtown Wetumpka. If someone walks in a business on Company Street, chances are fish created by Sawyer can be found. Sawyer can frequently be found moving his painting studio to the sidewalk accompanied by music for all to see and here. Sawyer is expanding on his giving to downtown by creating Saturdays with Sawyer. The first of many was last Saturday morn-

ing where eight artists lined the east side of Company Street joining Sawyer in one of his sidewalk studio sessions. “I thought it would be fun to have more than just me out here,” Sawyer said. “These are all my friends and I asked them to come out with me.” Sawyer works mainly with acrylics, but Saturday, Sawyer’s friends were working with oil, pencil and pastels too. Sawyer hopes the weekly painting studio “Saturdays with Sawyer” will grow. “Maybe we can have this side lined all the way down,” Sawyer said. “Then we can get the other side filled too.”

Have you ever spoken wind words? “Do you think that you can reprove words when the speech of a despairing man is wind?” - Job 6:26

he said, because “the speech or a despairing man is wind.” Have you ever said anything you later regretted? Is there a man or woman who has ob was in agony. He had lost never experienced regret about his children, his health, all his something they said? If such possessions and the respect a person exists, I suspect that of the people around him. He they are more likely insensitive did not know why the calamities about how their words affect had come to him and had to others rather than all that good defend himself from the callous at controlling their tongue. We accusations of his friends who all know the sad truth of James assumed he had done something 3:2 about the tongue: “for we horrible to have such things all stumble in many ways.” We happen to him. may sometimes say the wrong In his misery, Job protested thing through carelessness or his innocence, denied his friends’ insensitivity, but I know how easy accusations and cried out to God it is to say the wrong thing when for vindication or an explanation. I’m upset. Don’t you? He wasn’t making a precise Some old friends of mine theological argument when he who’ve been married many said what he did about God; he years used to debate about what was expressing his pain. Job was said when they quarreled. pleaded with his friends not to be The man said he didn’t mean so harsh in their judgment of what everything he said when he was

upset. The woman contended that he meant exactly what he said when he was angry, and that anger took away the restraint that usually governed his speech. I’ve thought a lot about that, and I think I agree with the man in this case. Job is not the only person who in bitter emotion said things we might call “wind words”— things we don’t really believe or mean. When anger, frustration or fear colors our words, it’s easy to say hurtful, wrong things that we later regret. This happens in marriages, families, church families and friendships. It happens at home and at work. When you and I say such things, we should realize our need to grow in self-control and surrender our tongues to the lordship of Jesus. When we hear others talk like this, we need to take Solomon’s advice to ignore

some of the things we hear people say: “Do not take to heart all the things that people say, lest you hear your servant cursing you. Your heart knows that many times you have yourself cursed others” (Ecclesiastes 7:21-22). Why must we take every word those others say so seriously? Don’t we remember saying things we didn’t mean and shouldn’t have said ourselves? If we follow the “Golden Rule” and treat other people the way we want to be treated (Matthew 7:12), we will make allowance for frustrating circumstances and not be so harsh and judgmental about what is said in emotional reactions. This principle would “take the edge off” so many interpersonal conflicts and relieve so much of the anxiety that robs relationships of joy. Husbands and wives should be kind and gentle with one another. But when one or

both are upset, it would be good to remember this idea. Parents and kids will have some lively discussions as imperfect dads and moms raise imperfect kids. Along the way to maturity, there will surely be sometimes when all parties involved need to remember this. Boyfriends and girlfriends, neighbors and kinfolks—everybody needs this lesson. Let’s resolve to speak with love and care. But when emotions drive us to say things we shouldn’t, let’s hope the people around us will consider that some of those words are just “wind words.” And let’s remember to show the same consideration when people say things they shouldn’t to or about us.

Holtville baseball sets single-season win record with playoff sweep By DALTON MIDDLETON Sports Editor

CLIFF WILLIAMS / THE HERALD

Holtville’s Sam Silas attempts to tag a Rehobeth base runner out in the team’s first round playoff series.

Two dominant performances from its top two pitchers led Holtville not only to the second round of the playoffs on Friday, but also the most single-season wins in school history. Holtville swept Rehobeth, 5-4 and 4-0, in the first round of the AHSAA Class 5A playoffs. The Bulldogs are now 28-5, good for the most wins in school history in a single season. The Bulldogs also

advance to the second round of the playoffs next week and will host Demopolis. “It was big for us,” Holtville coach Scott Tubbs said of breaking the school record. “I think in the history of the school, the most wins are 27. This win puts us at 28. That’s so big for these kids to be able to knock off a number like that. That’s not our ultimate goal though. Our ultimate goal is to keep winning and keep playing. But yeah, it’s pretty nice for them to be able to accomplish that.” Holtville’s Tanner Potts pitched a com-

plete game win in Game 1 of the series to take the 1-0 lead, then the Bulldogs’ ace took the mound in Game 2. Wilson tossed 6 1/3 innings of two-hit baseball to shut out Rehobeth. Wilson struck out nine batters in his performance. To end the first inning, Wilson went down on the mound with cramps, but toughed out the pain and went on to pitch 5+ more innings. Wilson allowed multiple hitters to See RECORD, Page B2

VALLEY IN FIRST ROUND By DALTON MIDDLETON Sports Editor The Wetumpka baseball faced a big threat in the first round of the playoffs, but the Indians stepped up to the challenge and delivered in a big way. Wetumpka swept Valley, 12-1 and 10-0, in the first round of the AHSAA Class 6A playoff matchup. The Indians advance to the second round and will travel to face Hueytown next week. Wetumpka, which was the No. 1 seed out of Area 5 and hosting, had to face a big left-handed threat in Valley’s

Jackson Sanders. Sanders is the topranked sophomore in the entire country and committed to play at Auburn University. That didn’t matter, though, as Wetumpka chased Sanders after three innings and five runs. The Indians made Sanders pitch 77 pitches in three innings while twice and going through the lineup twice. “They performed really well tonight,” Wetumpka coach Michael Dismukes said. “We were very patient at the plate and we didn’t swing at many See WETUMPKA, Page B2 CLIFF WILLIAMS / THE HERALD

Wetumpka’s Jaxon Shineflew pitches against Valley in the first round of the playoffs.

Wetumpka sophomore Mya Holt may be one of the best pitchers across the entire state of Alabama, but she’s making herself known with the bat in her hands as well. Holt, Wetumpka’s ace in the circle, has set the new single-season school record for home runs. Holt currently has 15 home runs this year, breaking the previous school record of 13 home runs. Her 15 home runs ranks her at 12th in the country in long balls and second in the state of Alabama. Along with her home runs, Holt is also hitting .473 with 14 doubles, one triple and 72 RBIs. She is third in the country with RBIs this season. “Mya has brought so much to the plate,” Wetumpka coach Daryl Otwell said. “She’s been on a tear the last couple of weeks and is seeing the ball so well. She had a really good offseason and got a lot stronger. One of the biggest things we’ve noticed from her this year is pitch selection. We’re very proud of her and what she’s doing for the team. She’s been a main contributor to her success.” Holt already led the Lady Indians in home runs, but she really solidified her position at top over the last few weeks. She had seven home runs when she entered the month of April, and then she went on a tear at the plate. She has hit eight home runs in her last 12 games. During that 12-game stretch, she is 19 of 33 at the plate (.575 BA) and has See HOME RUN, Page B2

Edgewood Academy baseball sweeps Lakeside in first round By DALTON MIDDLETON Sports Editor The Edgewood Academy baseball team put together its best two-game performance of the season on Friday afternoon. Edgewood Academy swept Lakeside School, 9-4 and 12-0, in the first round of the AISA Class AA baseball playoffs. The Wildcats advance to the second round of the playoffs next week and will visit Wilcox Academy. The Wildcats knocked around 17 hits during the two games while Bradley Boone pitched six innings of two-run baseball in Game 1 and Walker Hall threw a three-inning no-hitter in Game 2.

“It’s good to see the team put a full two games together,” Edgewood Academy coach Justin Jones said. “It’s been a rocky, up-and-down season, so it’s good to see them put two good games together.” Boone took the mound for Game 1 and proved why he was the Wildcats’ Game 1 starter. Edgewood’s ace allowed only two runs in 6+ innings, both of which came in the seventh inning. He allowed only four hits and walked two batters in the game while striking out 10 batters. He struck out two or more batters in the first three innings, including three strikeouts in the third inning. He earned the win and exited the

game up 9-0 in the seventh. “When Bradley takes the rubber, you know what you’re going to get,” Jones said. “He’s going to compete even if he doesn’t have his stuff and keep you in the game. That’s why he’s one of our go-to pitchers. You know what you’re going to get day in and day out. He has that mentality as a pitcher that he will toe the rubber and command the game.” Hall toed the rubber in Game 2, and he threw a no-hitter against the visiting Lakeside School. Edgewood won the game, 12-0, in the third inning via mercy rule. Hall allowed two hitters to reach See EDGEWOOD, Page B2

Elmore County names Kyle Caldwell head football coach, athletic director By DALTON MIDDLETON Sports Editor Elmore County high school has found its new head football coach. The Elmore County Board of Education voted to approve the hiring of Kyle Caldwell as the Panthers’ new head football coach and athletic director. He will replace Jordan Cantrell, who parted ways with the school after four seasons with the team. This will be Caldwell’s first head coaching job. He is taking over an Elmore County job that went 0-10 in 2021. The Panthers have not made the postseason since the 2011 football season and have only won four games in the past three seasons. “I’m excited about the opportunity,” Caldwell said. “I’m thankful that they took a chance on me. It shows a lot about their trust in me. I have to deliver that trust back into the kids so they can trust me and the plan I have for them. I’m excited about the opportunity. They have a lot of great kids here. You want to

be at a place with great kids. They’re going to work extremely hard, and you can’t ask anything else from kids.” Caldwell has seven years of coaching experience leading up to the hire. He spent his first year out of college at Horseshoe Bend, where he served as an assistant football coach and head junior varsity baseball coach. Following that one-year stint, he returned to his alma mater Dadeville. He spent two years at Dadeville as the offensive coordinator of the Tigers and head baseball coach. In 2018, he resigned from that post and was hired as offensive coordinator for the AHSAA Class 6A Chelsea Hornets. He has spent the last four seasons leading the Chelsea offense and helped the Hornets to a 17-26 record during that span. Caldwell’s offenses at Chelsea saw success. In 2018, his offense scored only 18.2 points per game, but improved heavily after that year. His offense averaged 28.2 points per game in 2019, 21.8 ppg in 2020 and 25 ppg in 2021.

“Coach Dustin Goodwin at Chelsea and Coach Zeb Ellison, now at Shelby County, mentored me a lot and gave me a lot of responsibility,” Caldwell said. “I can’t thank them two enough for what they did for me as a young assistant coach. They took me under their wing and showed me how to do things, not so much about the Xs and Os, but also about being a head coach.” Caldwell has showcased his offensive mind as a coach, but also as a player. In his prep days at Dadeville, he passed for nearly 6,000 yards during his twoyear starting career. He threw 45 touchdown passes and led the Tigers to a 22-3 record as he was named All-State for his efforts in 2011. After graduating, he signed a scholarship with the University of West Alabama and was quickly named the Gulf South Conference Offensive Freshman of the Year after playing in 10 games. Not to be outdone, he was named the GSC Offensive Player of the Year after a stellar junior season and the GSC Co-Offensive Player of the Year after

Kyle Caldwell was introduced as the new head football coach at Elmore County at Tuesday’s Elmore County Board of Education meeting.

his senior year. He became the first UWA player in school history to eclipse 9,000-career total yards. He finished his UWA career as the school’s all-time leader in total offense (9,090 yards), passing yards (7,731), and touchdown passes (72). “Elmore County has a lot of skill players and my job is to get these kids out to play football,”

Caldwell said. “The roster numbers are low and they have to understand why is football important and why it’s important at Elmore County. If I can preach that to them and we get the numbers back up the way they need to be, and we’ll be able to compete and hopefully win some games we aren’t supposed to and win the ones we should. It all starts with the kids.”

Stanhope Elmore’s Haynes, Williams sign to play college basketball By DALTON MIDDLETON Sports Editor Two of the area’s best high school basketball players are headed to the college level. Stanhope Elmore’s Jacey Haynes and Dylon Williams each signed their respective National Letters of Intent on Wednesday afternoon. Haynes signed her NLI with the Bishop State Community College women’s program, while Williams signed with the Southern Union State Community College men’s program. Haynes, the 2022 Elmore County Player of the Year, has been committed to Bishop State for a few months now. The 6-foot-3 center dominated high school teams en route to averaging 16.5 points, 15.7 rebounds and 8.3 blocks per game

base via error, but nothing else. He walked none and allowed no hits as he struck out seven hitters in three innings. “Walker Hall threw all three innings and threw a really good game,” Jones said. “He filled it up and threw multiple pitches for strikes. He really kept them off balanced the whole time.” Edgewood’s offense was all over any pitch-

Haynes said right after she met her, she “fell in love” with the person and the coach that Harris is. She said she felt comfortable giving Harris two years of her life and her basketball career.

er who took the mound for Lakeside during their nine innings of offense. The Wildcats had 17 hits, including four from first baseman Wes Reeves during the two games. Brock Hitt added three hits, while multiple batters had two hits during the series. “I enjoyed the way we swung it,” Jones said. “We’ve been on it all year and knew we could swing it. IT’s just about getting hot at the right time. Today showed how hard they’ve worked.”

“This is a really important part of my life right now,” Haynes said of signing. “I honestly didn’t know if I would get to this point with how the last two years have gone with injuries. I’m grateful and blessed for this accomplishment and to have the chance to play.” Haynes was as dominant of any player at the high school ranks as anyone in the state

balls. We had some competitive atbats early and got on base and did some damage. We put pressure on them on the base paths. Once we got the lead, we put some good swings together in both games.” Sanders got an early 1-0 lead in the first inning after an error plated an unearned run off Jaxon Shineflew. His lead didn’t last long, however, after shortstop Ty Brooks walked and stole both second and third base. He came around to score on a wild pitch and tied the game, 1-1. The game stayed tied until the

RECORD

32 RBIs, almost one RBI per at-bat during that stretch. She has also only struck out twice during the last 12 games. That is not much different than before, however, as she only has 12 strikeouts during the entire 42game season. “Last year, she swung the bat really well for us too, and we felt at times as a young hitter that she was trying to do too much sometimes,” Otwell said. “One of the big things we’ve seen from her this year and especially the last few weeks is that she’s swung at better pitches and when she gets that good pitch, she’s not missing it. She isn’t fouling pitches. She’s barreling them up and she’s a lot stronger than she was and the ball is jumping off her bat.” While the ball is jumping off her barrel at the plate, it’s not jumping off of hitter’s bats while she is pitching. As dominant as she has been at the plate, she’s just as dominant in the circle. Holt currently has a 20-5 overall record in 144 innings pitched as the Lady Indians’ main pitcher. Even more impressive is her 0.97 earned run average as she’s allowed only 20 earned runs across the entire season. She has 125 strikeouts and has walked only 32 batters.

reach scoring position in the fourth, fifth and sixth innings, but he never faltered and got out of the jam each time. He struck out backto-back batters in the fourth with two on base, then ended a bases-loaded jam with a strikeout in the fifth inning. Kason Shaffer came in and pitched the final 2/3 of the seventh inning and secured the shutout and series sweep. He retired his only two batters faced on a strikeout and a groundout to second base. “They both were very consistent tonight and threw to contact,” Tubbs said of his pitching. “They gave our defense a chance to play

of Alabama. Stanhope Elmore coach Kelvin Stokes called her a walking double-double, and she could almost be described as a walking triple-double. She recorded four triple-doubles during her senior season, all of which came with points, rebounds and blocks. She hopes to continue that dominant play at an even higher level in Mobile the next two seasons. “I honestly feel like I’m going to show everybody what I haven’t showed them so far,” Haynes said. “I honestly feel like I didn’t play up to my potential this year. Once I hit college, I’m going to be able to show everyone what I can do.” Williams also had one of the best seasons of any player in the area. The senior forward aver-

aged 16.7 points, 12.3 rebounds and 1.2 blocks per game during his senior campaign, earning him firstteam All-Elmore county honors. He committed to Southern Union after falling in love with the campus and seeing the success the team has had the last few years. “This was one of my goals,” Williams said of signing. “I’ve always wanted to continue my career. I can start at junior college, then go Division I, then go to the NBA hopefully. I love their basketball team and how they play. They get out and go and are a running team. I like running and passing and getting open looks. They’re a really good fit for me.” That fits his play style perfectly. The 6-foot-3 senior has the ability to get inside and dominant in the paint,

third inning when Ty once again got on base with one out by reaching on an error. He came around to score on an RBI double by Doug Johnson, who then scored on a wild pitch. Noah Jones singled and came around to score on a wild pitch, while Davis Wells scored on an RBI double by Dorian Jackson. The Indians sent all nine batters to the plate in the bottom of the third inning and took a commanding 5-1 lead. “We just wanted to make him throw strikes and didn’t want to swing at stuff out of the zone. We made it where every out was critical and we didn’t give them any easy outs. We were consistent and we’ve done that all year. The guys

were really focused and definitely played well.” After chasing Sanders, Wetumpka’s offense had no issues against any other Valley pitchers. The Indians scored 17 runs in the next eight innings, while Shineflew and Johnson pitched lights out the rest of the way. Shine flew pitched a complete game in Game 1, striking out eight batters in the process. He allowed only two hits. Not to be outdone, Johnson took the mound in Game 2 and dominated the Valley lineup. Johnson allowed only one hit, an infield single, while pitching six complete innings and earning the win and the sweep.

Holtville’s Drey Barrett slides into third safely. He hit a three-run triple to lead Holtville past Rehobeth in Game 2.

and they just weren’t doing too much. We’re throwing more than one pitch for a strike and we made them swing at pitches we wanted them to swing at. When they do that, they aren’t going to barrel many up. I was pretty please out of Tanner and Todd. They were both big time efforts on the mound.”

and that showed with his rebounds numbers this past year. But he isn’t limited to inside the paint. Williams was one of the best shooters in the county and the state this year, and he kept defenses honest with his abilities. The way he shoots helps the team not only at the free throw line, but also can open up opportunities for other players because someone has to guard him at all times. He will be able to play however he wants at the next level, as he is signing as a hybrid forward and guard, mostly playing the 2 and 3 positions. “I think my shooting will help a lot at the next level,” Williams said. “That and playing fundamental basketball. If there’s an important shot that needs to be hit, I’m the guy to go to.”

The offense wasn’t the usual Holtville offense, but Tubbs’ lineup came through when he needed them to. In Game 1, tied 4-4 in the sixth inning, Wilson doubled with one out to give the Bulldogs a base runner. After taking third base on a passed ball, Sam Silas singled in the game-winning

run. In Game 2, the two teams were tied 0-0 in the top of the third inning when Drey Barrett had the biggest atbat of the night. With two on and one out, Barrett hit a triple into the right-center gap. As he slid into third base, a Rehobeth errant throw landed in the dugout so Barrett was awarded home. That put Holtville up, 3-0, and that was all the offense Wilson and company needed on the mound. “In that second game, Drey came up with a big time hit and scored three runs there,” Tubbs said. “That gave us an early 3-0 lead and with Todd cruising like he was, a three-run lead was pretty safe. Once we got that, I was pretty confident we were going to finish.”

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.

Vol. 31, No. 17

New trash service to start May 30 for many in Elmore County By CLIFF WILLIAMS Staff Writer Arrow Disposal Service will soon provide curbside garbage collection to Elmore County residents formally provided by Waste Management. “Arrow will be taking over the collection of garbage in the unincorporated areas of Elmore County, in Wetumpka, Elmore, Eclectic and Deatsville,” Arrow said in a release. “Arrow’s service area does not include customers inside the city limits of Tallassee, Millbrook, Prattville or Coosada.” Tallassee, Millbrook, Prattville and Coosada will remain with Waste Management.

The Elmore County Commission recently sought new bids for trash collection and Arrow was the lowest successful bidder at $23.87 per month. Extra containers are available for an additional $15 per month. The transition is already beginning for many customers. “If you are a current Waste Management customer receiving garbage collection in Elmore County, you do not need to enroll in service,” Arrow said. “Your service information will be automatically transferred to Arrow and a new container will be delivered to your home during the month of May.” Arrow said if a resident is not

an active Waste Management customer and would like to sign up for new service, they can call Arrow toll free at 1-866-440-3983 or visit the company’s website at www.arrowdisposal.net. Arrow said all its customers would receive new 95-gallon containers during the month of May. “The new containers will be blue with gray lids,” Arrow said. “Please be patient as we work to deliver all customers a new cart. If you are an active customer and have not received an ADSI container by May 27, please contact our customer service department.” Arrow said it will begin collect-

ing garbage from the new blue carts on Monday, May 30. “A decal will be placed on the lid of your cart that indicates your collection day,” Arrow said. “Arrow will run our regular scheduled routes during this week, including on Memorial Day.” Waste Management will continue to collect garbage from old containers through Friday, May 27. “Please leave your old cart by the road during the last week of May so that it can be removed by Waste Management,” Arrow said. Arrow said the first bills will arrive in the mail in late May for the upcoming quarter (June, July and August). “If you have not received an in-

voice by June 1, please contact customer service to ensure that we have your correct information on file,” Arrow said. “You may pay your bill by check, credit card or through Arrow’s website. The bill will contain instructions for customers who wish to pay online or establish automatic payments. No prior banking information or bank authorizations will be transferred from Waste Management to Arrow.” Arrow’s customer service department can be contacted by calling 1-866-440-3983 8 a.m to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. Additional information may be found on Arrow’s website at www.arrowdisposal.net.
