Each law enforcement leader present said they were excited to be a part of the project. Robinson said the 15-yearlong working relationship between the three law enforcement leaders made them “uniquely situated to be the perfect group FOR this.” NetOps Consulting International in Montgomery is “the exclusive distributor” for Nexx360, Lee Maurer of NetOps said. Robinson said video footage from these improved body cameras would provide a better view and “the full context” of what happened at a scene to future Grand Jury groups. Robinson is also hopeful to expand the use of the system to other law enforcement agencies in the circuit including the Elmore County Sheriff’s Office.

OUR VIEW: Why your vote matters E

very election cycle some people say the strangest thing: “My vote doesn’t matter.” When we have the freedom to participate in the choice of our leaders, why would we not vote? Do we care that little for what happens in our communities? Right now, the race for Senate District 27 is down to four votes. Voters in Lee, Russell and Tallapoosa counties cast 16,730 votes in the Republican primary and political newcomer Jay Hovey leads incumbent Tom Whatley by four votes. It’s the closest election on this scale according to Alabama Secretary of State John Merrill. And there are possibly votes still out. In Tallapoosa County 15 provisional ballots were cast county wide but not every voter in Tallapoosa County could have cast a vote for Hovey or Whatley. Some voters cast ballots for Democrat Party races and would be unable to cast a vote in the Hovey, Whatley Republican race. Some Tallapoosa County voters are not in the district to vote in the race. Some

in Tallapoosa County who voted in the Senate District 27 race in 2018 were not able to vote this year because of redistricting approved by the Alabama legislature in the last year. From the River Bridge into Alexander City and west towards Wind Creek State Park was once in District 27 and represented by Whatley in the senate. It is now represented by Clyde Chambliss of senate District 30. Fewer than 85 provisional ballots were cast across the three counties. The provisional votes will be certified by the county board of elections and added to the totals from Tuesday’s election. Not all provisional ballots will be certified and added to the total. Traditionally in Tallapoosa County fewer than 30 percent of provisional ballots are certified. Reasons vary from a voter not living in the district to not registering to vote in time. Whatley carried Tallapoosa County with nearly 70 percent of the votes cast at 3,540 votes to 1,555. And Russell County with 81.35 percent of the vote at 881 votes to 202. The race was decided

in Lee County where 63.07 percent of the ballots were cast in the race. Hovey topped Whately 6,610 votes to 3,942. If neither candidate foots the bill for a recount and the provisional ballots tie the score up, it could all come down to a coin toss. Alabama law provides that in the event of a tie in an election, a game of chance decides the winner. The most recent example of that was when a coin toss decided the winner in the sheriff race in Clay County in 2018. A coin toss decided who would lead law enforcement in an entire county. Perhaps the person in senate seat doesn’t matter to you. Perhaps you do not care where your tax dollars are spent. Perhaps you were fine with either candidate, but because you didn’t vote, now the race could come down to a game of chance. We’d rather have a say about who is in power instead of gambling for elected officials. The process of canvassing votes was set for Tuesday, May 31. The results of that process were unknown at the time of publication.

TV still drives the vote

fter the 1960 Kennedy vs. Nixon classic presidential contest, television became the medium for political campaigns. TV became the new campaign strategy in Alabama in 1962. George Wallace, Big Jim Folsom, and Ryan DeGraffenried used TV that year for the first time. Unfortunately for Big Jim Folsom, his use of TV was the demise of his storied political career. His appearance on a live 30 minute paid television show was one of the most colorful stories in Alabama politics. He came on TV drunk as Cooter Brown. That’s a story for another day. Wallace and Folsom were used to campaigning one-on-one and asking folks for their vote. They stumped and had rallies in every county and hamlet in the state. However, in the end, they succumbed to the politics of TV. It has not changed but become more pronounced over the last 60 years. This 2022 campaign for our open senate seat is nothing more than a TV show. TV has become such an integral part of getting elected to a U.S. Senate Seat that it appears that what you do now is just raise money or if you have a lot of your own money, spend your own money and buy and design effective TV ads. The day of actually campaigning appears to be over. The only candidate who made an effort to campaign in every county, shake hands and meet folks was Katie Britt. By the way, she is

the only real Alabamian in the race. Katie Britt’s grassroots campaign organization is what propelled her to an incredible commanding lead heading into the June 21 runoff. It looked for a while in our U.S. Senate race that a real outsider, Mike Durant, would be in the June 21 runoff with Katie Britt. However, the original frontrunner, Mo Brooks, clawed back to claim second place. As a lifelong follower of Alabama politics, I long for and yearn for the day when state candidates actually get out and met and talked with Alabamians one on one. Not to sound too provincial or old fashioned, I believe that a person who wants to be Alabama’s U. S. Senator ought to really know Alabama and the people of the state. They ought to at least know what’s important to folks in our state from Mobile to Scottsboro and Dothan to Tuscaloosa. They ought to know the intricacies and nuances of places and what industries and federal dollars mean to their locales. They need to know how important military dollars are to Huntsville, Montgomery and the Wiregrass and also how much agriculture means to rural Alabama. In short, they should know some folks in Alabama if they are going to be their U.S. Senator. With Katie Britt in the runoff, she has truly campaigned and not just been a phantom TV candidate who flew in from New Hampshire or Colorado and tried to buy our Senate Seat and run as a celebrity POW hero.

STEVE FLOWERS

If we want to elect someone to our U.S. Senate Seat who is a celebrity and knows nothing about how to be a U.S. Senator for Alabama, then we have some folks that are qualified and are real celebrities and real Alabamians. We have two who come to mind who are a lot more famous and would be better. They are real Alabamians. Allow me to suggest Lionel Richie and Randy Owen. Lionel Ritchie was born and raised in Tuskegee and spent the first 25 to 30 years of his life in Macon County before he became world famous. Randy Owen, the legendary lead singer, and founder of the band Alabama has never left his home in Alabama. He is Alabama born and bred. He still lives in DeKalb County, where he was born. He walks his land and takes care of his prized black angus cattle every day. These two guys are real, sure enough Alabama celebrities and would make a lot better Senator for Alabama than some semiAlabamian. 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.

The Red Cross Society

The Red Cross is a worldwide relief organization that assists people in times of need after natural disasters, wars, and other emergencies. In some Countries, the organization is called the Red Crescent Society; the name was officially used in 1876 in the Ottoman Empire after it was ordered to place a red crescent on vehicles to be identified as ambulances. Today, the Red Cross is recognized around the World as a neutral organization and is often allowed into Countries holding prisoners of war, or refugee camps, to administer First Aid and other humanitarian needs to prisoners, as well as relocating and aiding people after conflicts. The history of the Red Cross dates back as far as 1859 when a Swiss man by the name of Jean-Henri Dunant witnessed the aftermath of the Battle of Solferino in Italy. Seeing a need for help, Dunant led a group of volunteers to administer aid to the thousands wounded. Dunant initiated the first Red Cross committee in Geneva, Switzerland, to establish a Red Cross. It was here that the Geneva Convention was written, and the Red Cross was born. In 1869, an American Civil War nurse by the name of Clara Barton visited Switzerland and learned of the Red Cross movement. Barton was so impressed with the society that she came back to the United States and founded the American Red Cross in 1881. She served as the organization’s president for 23 years, until 1904. In 1900, the American Red Cross received a congressional charter by the U.S. Congress. Today, Wetumpka the American Red Cross, as with all national societies, creates programs based on Kidz Page the needs of its citizens. Blood drives and donations are a major part of their work, as are classes to teach individuals first aid, nursing, CPR, swimming lessons, and babysitting. They collect donations and distribute goods in times of disaster, both in the United States and Countries abroad.

Two sides of the hedge people out or in by restricting access to one side or the other of I remember a line from a the space it traverses. violent and disturbing movie The word “hedge” is used in I saw years ago (back when both the restrictive and protective I sometimes watched movies senses in the Old Testament book like that). A man with a mental of Job. Consider Job’s words: disability had been hired to build a “Why is light given to a man fence. The homeowners watched whose way is hidden, whom him as he stood and held a board, God has hedged in?” (Job 3:23). turning it one way, then another And “He has walled up my way, as he thought intently about some so that I cannot pass, and he has aspect of the construction. He set darkness upon my paths” finally came to the owners and (Job 19:8). Job felt and saw the asked, “Is this fence being built to restrictive side. He has suffered keep people out, or to keep people so much, lost so much! He did in?” not know the divine purpose We all have our own behind the misery God had challenges, but most of us would allowed Satan to pour out on him. understand that the same proper He felt trapped, blocked from fence would do either of the jobs where he wanted to go and be. the fellow had in mind. A fence But Satan saw the protective (or a hedge) is a barrier. It keeps side of the hedge. He said that BY MIKE MCELROY

God had insulated Job from difficulty and doubted that Job’s loyalty to God would last if he had to suffer. “Have you not put a hedge around him and his house and all that he has on every side? You have blessed the work of his hands, and his possessions have increased in the land. But stretch out your hand and touch all that he has, and he will curse you to your face” (Job 1:10-11). Satan was wrong about Job. But his words still illustrate the other purpose of a barrier. He saw God’s hedge around Job as protection. Really, both senses are in both pictures, aren’t they? The chainlink fence around the playground protects the children inside and restricts them from the busy street nearby. The fence around the prison, topped with razor

wire, restrains the inmates from running away and protects the nearby public from the prisoners who might harm them if they escaped. The guardrails along the road restrict our vehicles from leaving the highway and protect us from going over a cliff or into oncoming traffic. I wonder if we sometimes misunderstand the very similar purpose of God’s restraining commandments. God’s laws are expressions of his character and nature, and they are given for our own good (Deuteronomy 10:13). It is true that God restricts us from certain behaviors (most famously, the “You shall nots” of the 10 Commandments). But it’s also true that “no good thing does he withhold from those who walk

uprightly” (Psalm 84:11). So, God’s restriction is benevolent, not punitive. The Lord erects barriers to protect (not deprive) his children. Do we trust God enough to see the graciousness of his will, regardless of whether it is protecting or restricting us? When we’re pressing against the hedge of restraint because our flesh wants what’s on the other side, it is his grace in the sharp prickly thorns that hold us back. And when we find calm peace in the face of danger or uncertainty, the peace of God that guards our hearts and minds is also an expression of his grace. May our gracious Father grant us wisdom and spiritual maturity to give thanks for both his restriction and protection!

Wetumpka football wraps up spring practice, looks towards summer workouts By DALTON MIDDLETON Sports Editor First-year head coach Bear Woods knew exactly what he wanted to see out of his Wetumpka football team during spring practice, and he said that’s exactly what he got. Woods, entering his first year as the head coach of the Indians after being hired on January 14, just wrapped up his first spring with the team. The Indians did not participate in a spring game against another team, but instead spent their entire spring season practicing before wrapping up the spring with their Black and Gold scrimmage last Friday afternoon. When Woods and the Indians started spring practice, he wanted to change the mentality and the identity of the Wetumpka football team. So he set out to make giving effort and competing a huge emphasis. Woods says giving effort has to be who someone is. It has to be their identity, and be something that a player or coach doesn’t even think about but still does. And he felt like by the end of

spring, his team got to that point. “I really liked the team’s willingness to compete,” Woods said. “That was a big thing for me this spring. I talked about the way we approach competition and the effort needed to be a competitive team and a championshipcaliber team. It all starts with effort, and I was impressed with how they accepted that challenge and worked at it.” One of the biggest things that Woods told the guys, and continues to tell

his team, is that they’re all ageless and nameless when they step onto the practice field. Every position on the team was wide open with Woods coming in, and he said he was impressed with how his team fought for each position. He told the team that everyone is being evaluated as they’ll all get an opportunity, no matter if they were a brand new eighth grader or a threeyear senior starter.

CLIFF WILLIAMS | THE HERALD

Wetumpka quarterback Nate Rogers returns for his junior season in the fall of 2022. He helped lead the Indians to a playoff appearance last season.

DALTON MIDDLETON: My sports highlights from Year 1 on the job My first school year in Elmore County has come to an end, and that means that my seventh year covering high school sports has also come to an end. It’s been an eventful seven years, and it seems like every year, I see something that I have never seen before. You see some great games when you cover as many games as we do year in and year out, and this year was no different. When the athletic school year ended last week with spring football games and Holtville baseball losing in the state championship, I started to look back and try to remember some of the highlights from games I covered this year. Here are some of the best things I covered this year. In my first football game of the year, Jalyn Daniels absolutely lit up Reeltown in the two team’s season opener. Daniels, playing as a wildcat quarterback due to COVID across the team, rushed for 314 yards and three touchdowns. That was just the start for Daniels, who went on to finish as my Offensive Player of the Year after a great season. A few other football things that stuck out to me was Wetumpka’s buzzer-beating win over Tallassee in Week 2. On the last play of the game, sophomore QB Nate Rogers found junior receiver Jamarion Thrasher for a 40-yard game-winning touchdown to win, 14-12. Wetumpka also had another game-winning touchdown pass later in the season, when freshman Tyler Johnson threw a 20-yard touchdown pass late in

the fourth quarter to give Wetumpka a 8-7 win over Stanhope Elmore and put the Indians in the playoffs. Last but not least, Reeltown’s Gabe Bryant and Marcus Haynes put on a show against Holtville. The two connected on five catches for 227 yards and four touchdowns in the win. In volleyball, one of the best matches I saw all year was when Elmore County beat Wetumpka in the Panthers’ Block Party tournament, 2-1. Watching Khloe Harris and Coranda Lozada face each other had no lack of fireworks. Also in volleyball, Edgewood Academy completely dominated their schedule and won their third-consecutive state championship. Winning a championship is always exciting to watch. Speaking of the Edgewood Academy girls, they also won the basketball state championship, the first in school history. What a year for them. Lindsey Brown went off time and time again, and Edgewood was easily the best team in AISA AA. Stanhope Elmore basketball player Jacey Haynes recorded one of the most impressive games I’ve ever seen with 14 points, 21 rebounds and 13 blocks. She recorded triple double after triple double en route to winning Player of the Year. Team-wise, both Elmore County teams won the county tournament for the first time ever in the same year, and the Holtville girls set a school record for single-season wins. Tallassee sophomore Macey Stewart won two See HIGHLIGHTS, Page B3

state championships in swimming, and Edgewood Academy’s Jake Allison won the powerlifting state championship. In baseball, I watched Kyle Morrison hit two home runs against Tallassee, one being one of the longest home runs I’ve ever seen, while the Indians threw a combined no-hitter the same night. Holtville put on a run for the ages at the end of the season, breaking their single-season win record while reaching the state

TheWetumpkaHerald.com championship. En route, the Bulldogs saw some dominant performances. Todd Wilson struck out 17 batters against Marbury, then he threw a no-hitter. Drey Barrett also threw a no-hitter for Holtville this year. Stanhope Elmore and Wetumpka had an exciting baseball series, with the Mustangs taking 2 of 3 from the Indians. The Mustangs also put together a good playoff run, making the quarterfinals for the first time since 2006. In the second round, Evan Duncan had a series for the ages. He went 5-6 with two home runs and eight RBIs and had the

Justin Lee Clanton is wanted by the Eclectic Police Department in connection with a forgery case.

ALEA reminds citizens of CodeRED in observance of National Missing Children’s Day STAFF REPORT TPI Staff In observance of National Missing Children’s Day, the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency (ALEA) reminded all citizens of the CodeRED system while highlighting the crucial role the public plays when assisting law enforcement in the search for missing children when time is of the essence. On May 25, 1983, President Ronald Reagan proclaimed the first National Missing Children’s Day in memory of Etan Patz, a 6-year-old boy who disappeared from a New

York City street corner on May 25, 1979. Each year, the Department of Justice commemorates Missing Children’s Day by honoring the heroic and exemplary efforts of agencies, organizations, and individuals across the nation who work to protect children. The Alabama Fusion Center (AFC), a unit within ALEA’s State Bureau of Investigation, is responsible for issuing Amber Alerts, Emergency Missing Child Alerts, Blue Alerts and Missing and Endangered Person Alerts throughout the state. The Alabama Center for Missing and Exploited Children is organizationally structured

within the AFC and serves as a liaison between citizens, private organizations, and law enforcement officials regarding missing and exploited children and adults. “As a parent, losing a child is unimaginable, and ambiguous loss is difficult to explain to those who have not experienced it. As law enforcement, we fully understand that time is of the essence when searching for a missing child. Our goal is to bring home safely every child that goes missing, however, the public’s assistance is crucial as everyone can be an extra pair of eyes and ears for officers in their local communities,” said ALEA Secretary Hal Taylor.

“Last year on May 25, the Agency launched a new stateof-the-art system known as CodeRED to issue missing person alerts which quickly deliver essential information to citizens throughout Alabama. In an effort to highlight this valuable resource, we encourage all Alabamians to consider enrolling in CodeRED if you have not already done so. This system is a vital tool which allows everyone to be vigilant and stay informed once a missing person alert has been issued.” “Our Fusion Center has worked diligently to provide citizens with a system that can easily be accessed and offers a variety of methods

to deliver time-sensitive information based on the subscriber’s preference,” AFC Director Jay Moseley said. “In the event that your child or loved one goes missing, we encourage you to notify your local law enforcement department immediately. There is no criteria in any alert that requires a person to be missing for a certain amount of time.” Citizens can enroll in the CodeRED system here, or by texting “ALalerts” to 99411 from any mobile device. Citizens will then receive an immediate response containing the Community Notification Enrollment (CNE) link for the state.
