Recipients honored at Awards Ceremony held Tuesday, May 18.
ALEA announces Lifesaving Awards STAFF REPORT TPI Staff The Alabama Law Enforcement Agency’s (ALEA) Secretary Hal Taylor announced the recipients of the agency’s Lifesaving Award and Certificate of Recognition for outstanding professionalism and skills displayed through heroic acts that saved the life of another as well as preserving public safety, while simultaneously upholding ALEA’s proud tradition of selfless service. Secretary Taylor presented the awards on Tuesday, May 18, to four ALEA Troopers within the Highway Patrol Division and one ALEA Corporal assigned to the Protective Services Division during a ceremony held at ALEA Headquarters, where both family and colleagues were in attendance. The event highlighted the remarkable stories detailed by ALEA’s Department of Public Safety (DPS) Director, Colonel Jimmy Helms and Protective Services Division Chief Stephen Tidwell. ALEA Secretary Hal Taylor said, “We are honored to be able to recognize these heroic and selfless individuals who, without fail, displayed the highest level of dedicated public service. Whether they are on or off duty, these individuals continuously look for opportunities to serve and answer the call. In moments of distress and dire need they went above and beyond to keep citizens safe.” Senior Troopers Tracy Steele, Ashley Fetter, Carter Allen and Cpl. James Phillips all received the Lifesaving Award because of their quick thinking and decision-making in separate incidents that resulted in the preservation of four lives. On Tuesday, March 8, 2022, Sr. Trooper Tracy Steele of the Jacksonville Highway Patrol Post was on duty when he stopped momentarily at a gas station and was approached by a woman choking and motioning for help. Trooper Steele quickly rendered aid to the citizen, successfully dislodging the food. He remained with her for a while after ensuring no further medical attention was required. The citizen later contacted Trooper Steele’s supervisor and described the incident while explaining she was diagnosed with autism which frequently causes her to suffer from anxiety attacks, and it is what ultimately led to her choking that day. In November of 2021, Sr. Trooper Ashley Fetter was the first to arrive on scene of a two-vehicle crash in Jackson County. Upon approaching one of the vehicles involved in the crash, Sr. Trooper Fetter noticed that the driver was unresponsive and locked inside the vehicle. Sr. Trooper Fetter gained entry through the window on the passenger side and quickly recognized the signs and symptoms of a drug overdose. He then administered Narcan, which is used to reverse the effects of an opioid overdose. In November of 2021, Sr. Trooper Carter Allen observed a vehicle speeding and activated his lights and siren to initiate a traffic stop. The suspect failed to yield and attempted to elude Trooper Allen. After a 10-mile pursuit, the suspect lost control of his vehicle and struck a tree. Moments after the crash, smoke began to billow from underneath and inside the vehicle with large flames surrounding the front. Trooper Allen immediately shouted for the suspect to exit his vehicle, but the man was unable to because the door was jammed from the crash. Trooper Allen then ran to his own vehicle to retrieve his fire extinguisher. Without hesitation and disregard for his own personal safety, Trooper See AWARDS, Page A6

Humane Society of Elmore County News – 23 May ‘22 BY REA CORD Executive Director Next Monday, 30 May, is Memorial Day and beside being a day off for many (Shelter will be closed), we do hope everyone will take some time today to pause and reflect on the true reason for this special day. So many brave men and women have given their lives for our freedom so please take time to reflect on the sacrifices they made for all of us. Memorial Day also signifies the start of summer and time spent on the water of which Alabama is blessed with her many lakes, rivers and even the Gulf. Many families take their dogs along for fun on the water (not too many take kitties), and we implore you to plan for your dog’s safety just like your own. Dogs on boats presents some new challenges if you have never dealt with that as some will love it and some will be scared to death. So, if your dog has never been on a boat, waiting until the busy Memorial Day weekend might not be the best idea. While your boat is home on its trailer or tied up at the dock, perhaps put your dog on the boat to explore it a few days before
your outing. If you can run the boat motor to let your dog get used to that sound that might also help your dog learn it won’t hurt him/her. Just like you, your dog needs its own personal flotation device (PFD) which it should wear while aboard. You can find PFD’s for pets in area pet, sport and outdoor stores and on many on-line stores as well – make sure to get the correct size for your dog to ensure your dog’s safety. Do a bit of research, as well, as a poorly designed PFD can be worse than none at all. One feature to look for is a good ‘handle’ on the top of the PFD as getting a dog out of the water and into the boat can be challenging enough and a sturdy handle can make all the difference in lifting a dog out of the water. We have had dogs rescued from the middle of Lake Martin brought to our shelter and never reclaimed. When in a body of water as large as Lake Martin, if a dog falls overboard and is not noticed it might not be able to make it to shore before tiring out. Like getting used to the boat, let your dog get used to its PFD before heading out on the water. Make sure to carefully supervise your dog and have a plan in mind
for how you would retrieve your dog from the water (especially a larger dog) should you need to get him back into your boat. Give your dog a shady, secure spot to rest, and pack a dog first aid kit in the event of hazards from fishing gear and walking around unfamiliar shores. One last caution might be to not feed your dog too much before going out in case it is susceptible to motion sickness – smaller snacks might work better than a big breakfast. Our dogs can get motion sickness just like we can so perhaps talk to your Vet for advice on what you can give your dog in the event it is exhibiting signs of sea sickness. Please also keep in mind that, just like people, not all dogs will enjoy being out on a boat all day, so, if you have one like that, let it chill at home in the air-conditioning. Preparing for your pet’s safety at all times is important, but just in case it might be a good idea to know where the closest Emergency Vet Clinic is to your location. We hope you will have no need of an Emergency Vet visit but knowing where to go could save a lot of time and

Her name is Brenda Gantt, and she’s as real and as sweet as the homemade buttered biscuits she bakes.

We miss Shorty Price
T
he governor’s races of bygone years were a lot more fun and colorful than todays. We would have 10 to 15 candidates. There would be three or four favorites, but we would have 10 others that would make an effort to crisscross the state and have fun and cut up a little bit to garner publicity. The “also rans” could not afford the expensive country music stars from Nashville like the George Wallace, Big Jim Folsom, Jimmy Faulkner frontrunners could to draw a crowd. This year’s gubernatorial race has not been interesting because a popular incumbent governor was running for reelection. Although Kay Ivey did attract eight opponents. However, only two, Lindy Blanchard and Tim James really mounted a campaign. The six others seem to not do anything, and nobody really knew who they were. The six no name candidates were Stacy Lee George, Dean Young, Dean Odle, Donald Trent Jones, Dave Thomas, and Lew Burdette. When Burdette qualified, he looked like he had the potential to be a viable candidate but he seemed to never get out of the gate. If he was running a getting acquainted race, it was unsuccessful. He would probably have as much name identification as a baseball player from the 1960s, who had the same name. As a boy, I had a baseball card of Lou Burdette, who was a pretty good pitcher for the old Milwaukee Braves. Donald Trent Jones probably was hoping that folks would think he was the golf course developer for our famous state links. Dave Thomas was maybe hoping that voters would think he was the Wendy’s hamburgers founder.
Today, what we need in the “also ran” category or what I call “run for the fun of it” candidates is another Shorty Price. Most of you do not remember Shorty Price. Ole Shorty was the King of run for the fun of it candidates. He ran for governor every time and really didn’t care how many votes he got. He just ran for the fun of it and boy was he fun to watch and visit with. He brought new meaning to the word colorful. Shorty was a native of Barbour County, which by the way is George Wallace’s home county. In fact, Wallace and Shorty grew up together as contemporaries around Clio. Shorty would campaign vehemently and viciously against George Wallace, his nemesis, probably because he was jealous of Wallace’s success as a politician. By the way, Barbour County is called the “Home of Governors” because it has had more governors than any other county in our state’s history. Shorty was maybe the most colorful political clown to ever appear on the Alabama political stage. He not only ran for governor every time, he also ran for numerous offices every time there was an election. That is how he would make his living. He would travel from town-to-town, mostly in southeast Alabama and panhandle for contributions and soon after collecting the few dollars that folks would give him, he would convert his campaign contributions into a purchase of a Budweiser beer. In fact, one of his campaign slogans was “Smoke Tampa Nugget cigars, drink Budweiser beer and vote for Shorty Price.” In one of Shorty’s campaigns for governor, his campaign speech contained this line, “If elected gov-
STEVE FLOWERS Columnist ernor, I will reduce the governor’s tenure from four years to two years. If you can’t steal enough to last you the rest of your life in two years, you ain’t got enough sense to have the office in the first place.” Shorty would use recycled campaign signs to save money. He would just change the name of the office he was running for that year. Ole Shorty usually got about two percent of the vote and usually finished last. He was really kind of proud of his usual last place finish. Indeed, one time the venerable political columnist, Bob Ingram, mistakenly stated that Shorty finished 13th out of 14th in a particular governor’s race. Shorty blasted Ingram and said, “That’s a blasphemous lie, I finished 14th out of 14.” As stated, Shorty hated George Wallace. One year he was one of many candidates running against Wallace. Shorty coined the slogan, “Shorty, Shorty he’s our man, George Wallace belongs in a garbage can.” None of these six “also ran” gubernatorial candidates were nearly as good as Shorty. I bet if Shorty were still alive and running today, he would have beaten all six of them. I wish ole Shorty were alive and running in this governor’s race. This governor’s race would have been a lot more fun to watch. See you next week. Steve Flowers is Alabama’s leading political columnist. His weekly column appears in over 60 Alabama newspapers. He served 16 years in the state legislature. Steve may be reached at www.steveflowers.us.

Happy Memorial Day! Memorial Day occurs every year in the United States on the last Monday in May. This holiday is set aside to remember all U.S. soldiers who died in service to our Country in any war or conflict. Memorial Day is a Federal Holiday which means that it is celebrated across the Country in all states. Traditionally, the U.S. flag is flown at half-staff until Noon on this holiday. After the American Civil War, many cities around the United States began setting aside days of observance for their Veterans who died in battle. These days were largely celebrated by decorating the graves of soldiers; as a result, it was originally called Decoration Day. Although the exact origins of Memorial Day are unknown, it is believed that the first true celebration of the holiday occurred in Waterloo, New York, in 1866. In 1868, General John A. Logan declared the holiday to be a time to give tribute to fallen comrades. The original Decoration Day was only meant to be a tribute to Civil War veterans, but after the end of WWII, the holiday was modified to commemorate the lost lives of all American soldiers in all wars. The holiday was widely celebrated after this time, and Congress declared in 1971 that the Memorial Day Holiday would be celebrated the last Monday of every May. This year Memorial Day is on Monday May 30, 2022.

forearm, and cutting his tendons, nerves and arteries. Knowing that the responding ambulance was 45 minutes away in Eufauala, Cpl. Phillips responded to the scene in his personal vehicle and observed a citizen who had lost a great amount of blood and was beginning to lose consciousness. Cpl. Phillips applied a tourniquet and held pressure on the wound with combat gauze until a Barbour County Deputy arrived. Together, they loaded the citizen into the deputy’s vehicle and Cpl. Phillips continued to apply pressure until they met the paramedics in Clio. The citizen’s sister, who is a dispatcher with Houston County, is convinced her brother would not be alive today if it were not for the quick thinking and assistance of an
off-duty ALEA Trooper. In addition to the Lifesaving Awards, ALEA Trooper Logan Kenimer received a Certificate of Recognition for his diligence to patrol and devotion to public safety. In June of 2021, ALEA Dispatch received a B.O.L.O for a vehicle traveling through Decatur occupied by a suspect with warrants for Enticing a Child. The B.O.L.O also stated that a 7-year-old juvenile was occupying the same vehicle. Thanks to the assistance of ALEA Dispatch, Trooper Kenimer was able to quickly locate the vehicle and apprehend the suspect, while simultaneously contacting the appropriate officials through the Department of Human Resources to safely return the child back to her mother.

If you are going to be operating a boat or think you are going to be operating a boat, just stay away from the alcohol.” While a boat is underway, all persons in the boat must be inside the gunwale. “If you are riding in
a boat, once the vessel is in motion, everyone’s hips should be inside and below the gunwale,” Walker said. “There is no riding on the gunwale or bow. There is no riding on the back vessels even though they may have the seats and beds back there.” Walker said children under the age of eight are required to wear a Coast Guard approved life vest at all times on a boat. Walker said boat operators should be familiar with the safety equipment that is required to be on board and share it with others. “Whoever the boat owner or operator is needs to make sure everyone knows where a fire extinguisher is and knows where the Type IV throwable is and especially knows where their life jacket is going to be,” Walker said. “That way in

That way if the operator leaves the area to operate the boat, the boat stops and doesn’t continue on. Walker also suggests new boating operators take a break during the heavy traffic of Memorial Day weekend. “If you are new at boating and operating a boat, going out on a holiday weekend is not the best of times to learn how to drive a boat,” Walker said. “Probably best to wait until after the holiday, once traffic is down.” Those aren’t the only suggestions Walker has. “With the amount of

Ingram State holds first commencement since COVID-19 STAFF REPORT TPI Staff Ingram State Technical College (ISTC) hosts the first commencement ceremonies in two years by celebrating the accomplishments of 214 students who received their technical certificate of completion, GED, or high school diploma since the onset of the pandemic. Ingram State held commencement ceremonies at Bibb Correctional Facility (Brent, Alabama) on May 10, Donaldson Correctional Facility (Bessemer, Alabama) on May 12,
and two ceremonies at the Staton Instructional Service Center (Elmore, Alabama) on May 17 and 19. Individuals recognized included male and female graduates from 18 of the college’s career technical programs. Alabama Department of Corrections Commissioner John Hamm was featured as the commencement speaker for the male graduation ceremony held on Thursday. Commissioner Hamm spoke to the graduates about how the technical training they receive at Ingram creates opportu-
nities for success in the Alabama workforce. “Alabama needs qualified workers who can meet the demands of today’s workforce,” said Commissioner Hamm. “The skills and tools you have developed over the last few years at Ingram State Technical College have given you a greater opportunity to be successful once you leave the Department of Corrections. With your certifications and technical training you have the opportunity to join the Alabama workforce the day you are released as a

Dr. Williams spoke about the importance of education and the impact their decision to change will have on their lives.
CON-GRAD-ULATIONS!
“Today’s graduates have made it as a result of months and years of hard work, perseverance, and dedication,” said Williams. “The fact that you are here this morning, at this pivotal benchmark of growth, is a testament to the strength that defines each of you to leave the bitterness and past behind you.” “With the skills they have learned, these grad-
uates are prepared to become a viable part of the Alabama workforce,” said President Annette Funderburk. “Ingram is focused on training students in high-wage high-demand jobs that best benefit the students’ success upon release.” Graduation is a pivotal point in the prison to workforce pipeline where students receive a quality education, gain handson experience through on-the-job training, transition to full-time in-field employment through the ADOC work release program, and are released with the tools and skills needed to join the Alabama workforce. Ingram State Technical College is a fully accredited member of the Alabama Community College System serving incarcerated students exclusively. The College offers training in 18 career and technical programs.

Grumbling at grace By MIKE MCELROY “Am I not allowed to do what I choose with what belongs to me? Or do you begrudge my generosity?” Matthew 20:15 7KH GHZ ZDV VWLOO RQ WKH grass when the boss agreed on a wage with the first laborers hired to work that day. When he hired more workers at mid-morning, lunchtime and mid-afternoon, he promised to pay them fairly at the end of the day. As the sun was sinking toward the horizon, he found some unemployed laborers and called them to work the last hour of the day. At quitting time, he instruct-
ed his foreman to pay everyone. When the first hires saw that the last ones called to work got the same pay they received, they wanted to renegotiate the FRQWUDFW 7KH\ WKRXJKW LW ZDV unfair, and they grumbled about it. But the owner denied their charge of unfairness, reminded them of their agreement and sent them away with an unanswerable argument. He said, ³7DNH ZKDW EHORQJV WR \RX DQG go. I choose to give to this last worker as I give to you. Am I not allowed to do what I choose with what belongs to me? Or do you begrudge my generosity?” Have you ever thought about Jesus’ story of the workers in the vineyard and sympathized

for a contract wage. We’re saved by grace. We are the eleventh hour hires! We are the prodigals! But our tendency to be self-righteous makes us choose a part in the drama that we’re not qualified to play.

Warhawks named third seed in NCAA DII finals STAFF REPORT The third-ranked Auburn University at Montgomery softball team has been named the third seed in Bracket 2 in the upcoming NCAA DII Finals in Denver. It is the first time AUM has reached the finals since joining the NCAA ranks. AUM is coming off thrilling NCAA postseason victories. The Warhawks advanced to the NCAA South Super Region-
al after going 3-1 in their first taste of NCAA tournament action in 2022. AUM defeated Tuskegee, Nova Southeastern, and Alabama Huntsville to set up a date with Valdosta State in the super regional. After dropping the first game of a best-of-three series, the Warhawks needed to beat the Blazers twice in one day to advance to the NCAA Finals. AUM was able to hang on late in game two of the series to set up a winner-take-all third
game. With a 2-0 lead in the bottom of the seventh, sophomore Brinkley Yevak from Georgia completed her complete-game gem to send AUM to the Finals for the first time in program history. The Warhawks join UT Tyler, Adelphi, Southern Indiana, Rogers State, Seton Hill, North Georgia, and Cal State Dominguez Hills as the eight participants in the NCAA Finals. See WARHAWKS, Page B2

DALTON MIDDLETON: A simple question with a tough answer A few weeks ago, I was covering a baseball game when I got asked what should’ve been a pretty simple question. Standing in the dugout taking photos, I was asked ‘Are you biased towards our team?’ The simple answer is no, and no should always be the answer from a journalist. It’s our job to be unbiased, and we are never supposed to show favoritism to our teams. But it’s not really such a simple answer. What I told the kid was ‘I wouldn’t say I’m biased towards you guys, but I would always much rather write a winning game story than a losing game story.’ I thought that answered the question pretty well, and it was the honest truth. I don’t necessarily root for any of the schools I cover in Elmore County. I’m not from here and I have no ties to any of the schools here. I don’t feel like I show favoritism, and I try not to wear any school’s colors while I cover their games. Like a kid said to me the other day, ‘I feel like you just have a rainbow assortment of t-shirts in your car to change into.’ It made me laugh, but he wasn’t far off. I have a bunch of different color shirts in my closet, and I try to see what color each team is before I pick a shirt and go to a game. But when it comes down to it, I don’t think it’s 100% possible to be completely unbiased. As you cover teams
more and more, you get to know the coaches and players, and you start talking to those people more often. That was never something I had to worry about very much in Mississippi. That newspaper I had covered roughly 60 high schools, and there were only two of us on staff who split high school coverage. We’d cover some teams more often than others, and I’d get to know those coaches and players better, but there were some teams would only get one or two games covered in a year. That’s just a part of it when you are trying to cover so many teams. You mostly just talk with coaches and players in a complete work setting. That’s not the case here in Elmore County. I am tasked with covering only six schools - Edgewood Academy, Elmore County, Holtville, Tallassee, Stanhope Elmore and Wetumpka. With only the six schools here, I am able to go see the schools and the teams way more often than I could before. So I get used to covering the players, and I get to talking with them and recognizing the faces more often. It’s not always just work interviews. You actually talk to the coaches and players about life, your relationships, and where you came from. You meet with parents and start talking to them. You See QUESTION, Page B2

The Holtville baseball team fell just short of its state championship run last week. The Bulldogs lost the series to Russellville, 2-1.
Holtville baseball falls in Game 3 of Class 5A championship By DALTON MIDDLETON Sports Editor Holtville’s quest for a state championship came up just short. Holtville fell to Russellville, 12-2, in Game 3 of the AHSAA Class 5A state championship at Jim Case Stadium at Jacksonville State University last week. The Bulldogs (35-7) lost the series, 2-1, and finished the year runner-up. Holtville won Game 2, 3-2, earlier in the day to force the decisive Game 3. Russellville won Game 1, 2-0. “Tough day,” Holtville coach Scott Tubbs said. “We played well early and a couple of innings got us. We just couldn’t recover from it. You tip your hat to a good team like Russellville. They’re the reason we got put into a bad situation.” Holtville took an early lead in the decisive Game 3, after Tanner Potts singled in Todd Wilson in the top of the first inning to give the Bulldogs a 1-0 lead. In the top of the fourth, Holtville added another run on a RBI single from senior Dalton Yarroch. That was the last lead that Holtville saw as Russellville scored four runs in
the bottom of the fourth inning to take its final lead of the game. The Golden Tigers started the inning by putting two runners on base with one out, then the scoring got started. Andrew Hatton and Casen Heaps each hit RBI singles to tie the game, 2-2, then back-to-back fielder’s choices ended in plays at the plate and Russellville scored on both of them to take a 4-2 lead. Holtville was able to get out of the jam and keep the score at 4-2 until the six, but the wheels quickly fell off. Russellville scored eight runs in the sixth inning to complete the walk-off via run-rule on four hits. The Golden Tigers loaded the bases without recording a hit, then Canyon Pace hit two in with an RBI single. Reed Hill followed that with another two-run single, then an RBI groundout made the score 9-2. Brayden Spurgeon then hit a single to left field which resulted in an inside-the-park home run after a fielding error to make it 12-2. After another error and walk, Banks Langston ended the game with a walk off single. See HOLTVILLE, Page B2

Elmore County softball sees season end in state tournament “It was just one of those days where we didn’t have enough good at-bats to put any runs on the board,” head The Elmore County softball team coach Mark Segrest said. “We did saw its very successful season come to face two really good pitchers.

O’Brien allowed only four runs in her complete game on nine hits, a lot of which came in the seventh inning for Rehobeth. Elmore County only trailed 2-0 going into the final frame. O’Brien threw 26 first pitch strikes in the game and struck out eight Rehoboth hitters. Culpepper also pitched a complete game, and she had a shutout brewing through six innings. Tied 0-0 heading into the seventh, she allowed six runs against West Point. She struck out three batters in the game. “I was really pleased with our pitchers,” Segrest said. “They both gave us a chance to win. I think they each had one bad inning in both games. But neither one has thrown a ton of innings all year. They were forced into this situation. Again, I don’t think they could have done any better and the future is bright with them in the circle.” The two losses end the high school careers for Elmore County’s four seniors - outfielder Emma Brown, third baseman Madelyn Becker, first baseman MacKenzie Smith and pitcher Aubrey Allen. Since Segrest took over the program before this classes’ sophomore season, Elmore County has gone 96-32-1 and has had a winning record all three seasons, including the COVID-19 shortened 2020 season. The Lady Panthers went 16-3, 43-15 and 37-141 the last three seasons following a 12-13 overall record their freshman season before Segrest joined. They also won their area championship each of the last two seasons and went to the state tournament both years. “These seniors did a phenomenal job bringing this program back,” Segrest said. “They’ve won almost 100 games in a little over two years. When you come in and want a good program, everybody has to buy in. Those girls have done a great job the last three years and it has really helped the younger players buy in as well. They’re the reason Elmore County softball is on the map.”

Holtville’s Todd Wilson pitched a complete game win in Game 2 of the 5A championship series.
HOLTVILLE Continued from B1
“In a tight situation, a big hit here and there can break one open,” Tubbs said of Russellville blowing the game open. “We tried to make some plays and I thought we did a pretty good job, we just made a few mistakes. They’re a good enough team where when you make a mistake, they can
capitalize on it. I thought they did a fine job of that and we couldn’t recover. In terms of the wheels falling off, that’s baseball. I wish we could stop it.” Holtville won Game 2 earlier in the day, 3-2, with a complete game effort from Todd Wilson on the mound. Wilson allowed only two runs, both in the fourth inning, an allowed only five hits. He struck out two batters and threw 98 pitches.

The eight teams are split up into two four-team brackets, and the winner of the respective double elimination-style brackets will meet in a best-of-three series to determine the national champion.

become friends on social media and stuff like that. Obviously I’m not around the players, coaches and parents that often, because I have multiple teams from each of the six schools to cover, but I’m around enough to get to know most of them on a first-name and friendly basis throughout the year. And as I get to know them more, it sucks seeing them lose or seeing
Down 2-1 in the fifth, Holtville bounced back with two runs of their own. Yarroch singled to start the rally, and Wilson walked to put two on with one out. Sam Silas then singled in a run to tie the game, 2-2, then later came around to score on a wild pitch for the gamewinning run. Wilson then retired six of the last seven, only allowing a two-out single in the seventh, to finish

their seasons come to an end. So there are times when I catch myself rooting for one of my teams to win. Not necessarily when they play against each other, but maybe playing other schools not in the coverage area. I caught myself slightly rooting for our teams this past week. I drove to Oxford last week and covered the Elmore County softball team and the Holtville baseball team play in the state tournament/state championship. Both teams ended their
the complete game. “He’s our guy,” Tubbs said of Wilson. “He did exactly what he does. He got us to Game 3. He did his part and I wish we could’ve capitalized for him, and Drey, and everyone else who has worked so hard all year. I think every pitch he had was working. He does a good job of keeping guys off balanced. I thought he had three pitches working.”
Brown and Faith Wheat, along with Tallassee’s Lexi Love, are all part of the team. They are all freshmen. Wheat, an outfielder, is currently third on the team in batting average. She is hitting .330 with 38 hits, three triples, one double, one home run and has scored 27 runs this year. Love is hitting .259 with one home run, two doubles and 10 RBIs. She has scored 14 runs. Brown is hitting .167 in limited action this year, with only 24 at bats. She has hit one home run and has 4 RBIs on the year.
season in heartbreak, however, and it sucked having to talk to those kids and coaches and take pictures of them while they cry. I watched the majority of the Holtville baseball team cry their eyes out after their Game 3 loss to Russellville, and I watched the Elmore County seniors sob after their careers came to an end in the state tournament. You can still get some really good stories from losing games, but it’s always so much nicer writing a winning game story. Interviews are not
fun after losses, especially a game of that magnitude. You have to be careful with what you ask, and you have to ask around the emotions and tears. It’s not a necessarily hard thing to do, but it’s just easier doing a winning game story. And people are always more talkative after a win. So yeah. I am unbiased. But there are times that I find myself rooting for the teams I cover to win a game. I will always rather talk with someone smiling and happy rather than crying and sad.

PUZZLES & HOROSCOPE ARIES (March 21-April 19) Today you might resurrect some ideas that you had before about making money. Now they have greater appeal to you, or you see they are actually doable. Because you’re in a resourceful frame of mind, you also might see new uses for something you already own. Clever! Tonight: Have patience. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You might be obsessed about something today. It could be about discovering a secret about someone else or about what’s going on behind the scenes. You might want to dig deeper into your own inner world to determine what really motivates you. Ah, yes. “Know thyself.” (At least name and address.) Tonight: Do research. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Because your ability to research anything is fabulous today, you will love to persevere in whatever you do, especially if you can learn something new. You will leave no stone unturned. This determination will pay off by yielding results and possibly even secrets. (“Lions and tigers and bears, oh my!”) Tonight: Be friendly. CANCER (June 21-July 22) You might encounter someone powerful today. This could be a friend or a member of a group to which you belong. Or perhaps you are the one who is obsessed about a particular idea. Well, maybe it’s worth reconsideration. Tonight: You are noticed. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) A conversation with a parent or a boss (especially someone from your past) will be intense today because both parties want to express their views. Because Mercury is retrograde, this is an excellent time to wrap up old business and see the merits of something that might have been overlooked in the past. Tonight: Explore ideas. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Steer clear of controversial subjects like race, religion and politics, because people are intense, even volatile, in their views today! They will likely not hear you because there are none so deaf as those who are wearing headphones. Tread lightly. Tonight: Check banking details.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You can get to the bottom of something regarding shared property, inheritances or possible secrets from the past. You might discover the truth about how much someone else owns or earns. This is an excellent day to nish matters related to taxes and debt. Tonight: Be cooperative. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) A close friend or partner will have strong views today. Meanwhile, you’re not exactly a wilting wallower yourself. Expect lively discussions to take place where each party is convinced that they are right. (Hey, remember that it’s always possible to learn something new.) Tonight: Get organized. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You will accomplish a lot at work or in your job today, because you are focused, persistent and persevering. You will get the most done if you tackle old business or something that was unnished, because the energy of Mercury retrograde will help you. Tonight: Play! CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Romantic clashes with old ames or ex-lovers are likely today, because people are opinionated and entrenched in their views. This same inuence can show up in sports encounters as well as anything to do with your kids or children’s activities. Keep it light. Tonight: Relax. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Family discussions will be intense today because everyone has their own ideas about something, and they’re going to stick to their views. Nevertheless, this same intense energy can be channeled into getting things done at home, especially tackling home repairs. Try it. Tonight: PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You might meet someone today who has a great effect upon your mind. They might teach you something, because today you can certainly learn something new, especially about the past. You might hear from a neighbor or sibling you haven’t seen in a while. (“Natasha!” “Boris!”) Tonight: A possible visit from a guest.
