Gas prices rise over 24 cents in one week STAFF REPORT TPI Staff Average gasoline prices in Alabama have risen 24.8 cents per gallon in the last week, averaging $4.53 per gallon Monday, according to GasBuddy’s survey of 3,348 stations in Alabama. Prices in Alabama are 55.4 cents per gallon higher than a month ago and stand $1.72 per gallon higher than a year ago. The price of diesel has risen 11.5 cents nationally in the past week and stands at $5.62 per gallon. According to GasBuddy price reports, the cheapest station in Alabama was priced at $4.07 per gallon yesterday while the most expensive was $5.49 per gallon, a difference of $1.42 per gallon. The lowest price in the state yesterday was $4.07 per gallon while the highest was $5.49 per gallon, a difference of $1.42 per gallon. The national average price of gasoline has risen 26.0 cents per gallon in the last week, averaging $4.85 per gallon today. The national average is up 56.0 cents per gallon from a month ago and stands $1.81 per gallon higher than a year ago, according to GasBuddy data compiled from more than 11 million weekly price reports covering over 150,000 gas stations across the country. Historical gasoline prices in Ala-

bama and the national average going back ten years: June 6, 2021: $2.80 per gallon (U.S. Average: $3.04 per gallon) June 6, 2020: $1.71 per gallon (U.S. Average: $2.02 per gallon) June 6, 2019: $2.37 per gallon (U.S. Average: $2.77 per gallon) June 6, 2018: $2.63 per gallon (U.S. Average: $2.94 per gallon) June 6, 2017: $2.07 per gallon (U.S. Average: $2.36 per gallon) June 6, 2016: $2.16 per gallon (U.S. Average: $2.36 per gallon) June 6, 2015: $2.54 per gallon (U.S. Average: $2.76 per gallon) June 6, 2014: $3.43 per gallon (U.S. Average: $3.66 per gallon) June 6, 2013: $3.23 per gallon (U.S. Average: $3.63 per gallon) June 6, 2012: $3.24 per gallon (U.S. Average: $3.56 per gallon) Neighboring areas and their current gas prices: Birmingham- $4.51 per gallon, up 24.0 cents per gallon from last week’s $4.27 per gallon. Montgomery- $4.54 per gallon, up 24.8 cents per gallon from last week’s $4.29 per gallon. Huntsville- $4.53 per gallon, up 26.8 cents per gallon from last week’s $4.26 per gallon. “After a blistering week of gas prices jumping in nearly every town,

city, state and area possible, more bad news is on the horizon. It now appears not if, but when, we’ll hit that psychologically critical $5 national average,” said Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy. “Gasoline inventories continue to decline even with demand softening due to high prices, a culmination of less refining capacity than we had prior to Covid and strong consumption, a situation that doesn’t look to improve drastically anytime soon. Nine states have average gas prices that stand beyond the $5 per gallon mark, with more set to join in the days and weeks ahead. In addition, diesel prices also stand at a record high, a second gut-punch to consumers which pushes prices of most goods higher.” GasBuddy is a voice for gas prices and a source for station-level data spanning nearly two decades. Unlike AAA’s once daily survey and the Lundberg Survey, updated once every two weeks based on a small fraction of U.S. gasoline stations, GasBuddy’s survey updates 288 times every day from the most diverse list of sources covering nearly 150,000 stations nationwide, the most comprehensive and up-to-date in the country.

Humane Society of Elmore County News – 6 June ‘22 By REA CORD Executive Director “Free to a good home” is a sadly common refrain this time of year as pet owners need homes for yet more unnecessary and unwanted litters of kittens or puppies, or adult pets they choose to no longer keep in their lives. What these owners need to know is that ‘free’ pets are less likely to ever be taken to a veterinarian for basic immunizations and checkups, let alone and illness or injury, and even less likely to be spayed or neutered eventually leading to even more unwanted puppies and kittens. Free pets are also more likely to be neglected and/or discarded because "there are plenty more where that one came from!" We can say from our intake statistics that easily 90% of owner surrendered pets were obtained “free” and the vast majority of those have had little to no Vet care of any kind. And sadly not all people who get these free pets have the best intentions no matter how nice they may seem at the one short meeting. For some, these puppies or kittens are just summer ‘toys’ for the kids/ grandkids and will be discarded at the end of the summer. Some people’s pets simply don’t last very long so they just go and get another freebie. Some may get them to ‘flip’ them for a few bucks to anyone

for any reason. And there are other, hopefully rare, but real and far worse fates as well that we will just not go into here but suffice that the solution to all of this is to NOT let your pet have yet another unneeded litter or to do your homework before taking on a pet so you don’t have any need to rehome it. So what should you do if you need to re-home your pet? If your pet came from a responsible breeder, call them to see if they can take it back or assist with placement as a truly responsible breeder will be there for the animal they produced. You should consider charging a fee that will not only ‘value’ your pet but discourage resale of pets to others. Spay or neuter your pet BEFORE rehoming it to avoid attracting backyard breeders or puppy mill operators. Interview potential new owners by asking for their identification, phone number, previous pet experience, their current pets and children in the household, how the pet will be contained, and their veterinarian's name as a reference. Keep their contact info, call their veterinarian for a reference and if at all possible, visit their home to see how and where your pet will live before your release it to the new owner. For the puppies or kittens, or if you cannot afford to have your pet spayed or neutered, ask the new owner to pledge that they will

have the puppy/kitten fixed by the time it is six months old and the adult immediately. If a potential adopter isn’t willing to give you their information or let you visit their home our advice is to politely send them away empty handed. You owe it to your pet to take the time and effort to make sure it goes to a good home. If time is critical or you are simply not willing to screen potential owners, then please take your pet to a reputable public or private shelter rather than give it away free to someone you know nothing about. Each county in our tri-county area has an open-admission shelter and while none of us can guarantee placement due to overwhelming numbers, we will do our utmost to find adoptable pets loving and lifetime homes. We work to screen & educate adopters to make sure they are appropriate and ready to take on a new pet and our adoption fees cover immunizations, de-worming, microchip (includes the registration) and the mandatory spay or neuter. AND, if you take home a new Shelter Pet and it does not work out for most any reason, all of us will take our adopted pet back. We actually have it in our Adoption Contract language, and we do that to protect our pet. We committed to it once, so once back with us will do so again.

Very impressive victory for Governor Ivey

ur popular high steppin’ pistol tottin’ Governor Kay Ivey won a very impressive reelection victory for Governor on May 24. Ivey turned back eight GOP primary challengers to win the Republican gubernatorial nomination without a runoff. She garnered an amazing 54 percent of the vote and carried every county in Alabama. That is a feat not often accomplished, especially considering she had eight folks running against her. However, her popularity is probably the reason she had no serious thoroughbreds challenge her in the gubernatorial derby. Any knowledgeable political pro could look at the odds of defeating one of the most popular incumbent governors in the nation with plenty of campaign resources and walk away from that uphill battle. After all she had beaten a more impressive field in 2018, which included Huntsville Mayor Tommy Battle, without the need for a runoff. Six of her male opponents were “also ran” unknown and still unknown candidates. The seventh male in the race, Tim James, whose claim to fame is that his daddy was governor, is becoming a perennial candidate. He

combined on negative ads, and I might add disingenuous ads against Governor STEVE Ivey, is even more of a testament of FLOWERS how popular and resilient Ivey remains. I said from the get-go that Ivey Columnist would win without a runoff and felt that way to the end. I have to admit that the night of the election when it appeared that the turnout was going to has run three times and finished third be lighter than expected, I wondered three times. He got a respectable 15 privately if she might dip below 50 percent, but he spent $5.7 million to percent. However, she outperformed get that amount. If he tries again, he and got about 54 percent. will be considered in the Shorty Price Kay and her team ran a flawless category. campaign. Her TV ads were folksy The only female in the race was first and effective. She did not take time candidate, Lindy Blanchard. She anything for granted. She never said a finished second to Kay Ivey with 18 bad word about any of her opponents. percent. Therefore, the two females In fact, she never acknowledged running for governor finished first and them or called their name. Even in second. However, there is a world of her victory speech, she said we have difference in getting 54 percent and got to keep running hard against our 18 percent. Lindy is a nice lady. If Democratic opponent. Even though you meet her, you cannot help but like winning a statewide gubernatorial her. She spent an amazing $11 million race as a Democrat is extremely of her own money. That equates into unlikely. Winning the GOP primary about $100 per vote. That may be for governor in the Heart of Dixie is a new record. That should tell her tantamount to election. that she just might not be cut out for Kay Ivey’s 2022 reelection victory politics. She nor Tim James never got is almost as remarkable as her mentor any traction or resonated. and idol and our only other female The fact that Blanchard and James governor, Lurleen Wallace’s 1966 spent most of their $16 million landslide victory.

t takes money, moxie and muscle to defeat an incumbent. If you run against one, you’d better beat them. It happens fewer times than not, but here are eight exceptions to that rule. Susan Dubose defeated Rep. Dickie Drake in House District 45 which encompasses portions of Jefferson and Shelby counties. Dubose is a former banker and is active in multiple Republican organizations in Shelby County. She will be the first Hoover resident to win a seat in the Alabama Legislature until Mike Shaw wins House District 47 and he will join her. Jerry Starnes defeated Rep. Will Dismukes in House District 88 in Autauga and Elmore counties. Starnes is Prattville City Council president. He works for the State Board of Pardons and Paroles and serves as a Lt. Col. in the Army National Guard. Jennifer Fidler defeated Rep. Joe Faust in House District 94 which

is in Baldwin County. Fidler is a businessowner and a seventhgeneration Baldwin Countian. She has served the county both personally and professionally over the years in numerous ways. Mike Kirkland defeated Rep. Tommy Hanes in House District 23 which is in Dekalb and Jackson counties. Kirkland worked for Vulcan Materials for over 30 years in various roles. He has been active in multiple civic and charitable organizations in his district. Ernie Yarbrough defeated Rep. Proncey Robertson in House District 7, which is in portions of Franklin, Lawrence, Morgan and Winston counties. Yarbrough is a selfemployed electrical engineer. He and his wife also own a health and wellness business. Curtis Travis defeated Rep. Ralph Howard in House District 72, which is in parts of Bibb, Greene, Hale, Marengo and Perry counties. Travis is an assistant pastor, builder, retired

field representative and manager. He has served on numerous boards and commissions in his community. Former Rep. Mack Butler defeated Rep. Gil Isbell who represents House District 28, which is in Etowah County. Butler is an electrical contractor and develops, owns and manages real estate investments. Jay Hovey defeated Sen. Tom Whatley in Senate District 27, which encompasses Lee, Russell and Tallapoosa counties. Hovey is a banker in Lee County and an Auburn City councilman. He participates in multiple civic and charitable organizations in his community. These are the eight newcomers who have defeated incumbents and will be joining the Legislature in 2023. They’re hard-working and determined folks. Again, it’s hard to beat an incumbent. It takes lots of money, moxie and muscle. These folks have flexed all three to show they have what it takes to win. Congratulations to them all.

Guns and gun safety Where is America today? We are known as the country with the most gun murders in the world. We kill our own children to the point that they have to get specialists in face reconstruction to identify a child. We kill our elderly in grocery stores because they have a different skin color, kill children in schools, and kill people at concerts. It makes you really proud, doesn’t it? Does it make you feel like a patriotic American?

Well, it does not do anything except make me ashamed of America! We are a masochistic society now…. There are lots of men (and some women) carrying guns now out in the open. Sounds like we are back in the 1700’s, doesn’t it? Are we trying to be a military government? Is that America now? That is what Putin does. Are we no better than that?

person? Some of the killers were mentally ill but no one knew it. Why not leave military guns to the military? And, what is the problem with registering all guns? I’ve been told you cannot register the guns in the hands of bad people and that is true; but at least we would know who is an honest gun- toting individual. I have heard over and over….it isn’t the guns that kill…it is the person handling the gun. Well, if we don’t have guns available for them to shoot us with; how will they shoot it? Judy Palfrey

brings the purchase price of the three new trucks down to just $64,542. “We actually got more money on these vehicles — trading them in — than what we paid for them,” said Willis. “That allows us to come in and add these three new vehicles.” POLICE ACCOMMODATIONS In the work session prior to the formal meeting Monday night, seven members of the Wetumpka Police Department were awarded accommodations for their service to the department through several different “life-saving” or “heroic” actions. “Law enforcement is not an easy job,” said Benton. “But I want to present to you some of the finest men and women of the Wetumpka Police Department.” Benton then asked officers to come forward to be recognized for their actions. Sergeant Barfoot and Corporal Hornsby (Hornsby was absent from the meeting) were honored for their work on the homicide in the Walmart parking lot on January 20, 2022. Benton commended them for their hard work and diligence to solve the murder. Officer Crumpton and Officer Harden were honored for their “life-saving heroism” when confronted with a gunshot victim. They treated the victim while waiting for assistance. Corporal McCoy was honored for “courageous and life-saving” actions he took while off-duty. While shopping at Sam’s Club in Montgomery, McCoy apprehended a shooter and held them at gunpoint until local police could arrive.

Corporal Calhoun and Sergeant Spraggins were honored for “life-saving heroism” when they were faced with a gunshot victim. They quickly treated the victim, applied a tourniquet to their wounded leg and “possibly saved the life of the victim.” After presenting the accommodations, Benton told the group it was all a “job well done” and Willis thanked the individuals for their service. There was then a standing ovation to honor them. In other business, the Wetumpka City Council: • Heard a report from the auditor. • Approved the minutes of the council meeting held May 16, 2022. • Approved Ordinance 2022-3, an ordinance to amend the code of ordinances of the City of Wetumpka, Chapter 62, solid waste. • Approved a pay scale by changing A01 with the beginning rate of $11.85 and add A02 with the beginning rate of $12.39. • Granted permission to transfer one Berretta APX handgun to Sergeant Clarence Reed. • Tabled a discussion on tourism marketing proposal at a cost of $2,500 per month. • Added to the agenda and then approved the purchase of a new air condition unit for a concessions stand for the amount of $5,400 from Jones Heating and Air in Wetumpka.

Blood donors have chance to win VIP trip to Graceland Protect with 3! STAFF REPORT TPI Staff

✔ Tdap ✔ HPV ✔ MCV4

Each year on June 14, the American Red Cross joins blood collection organizations around the world to celebrate World Blood Donor Day, which recognizes the importance of a safe and stable blood supply and the donors who make it possible. Nearly 2.5 million people volunteer to give lifesaving blood and platelets every year with the Red Cross. Eligible donors are encouraged to be part of something big by making an appointment to give blood or platelets this month. Blood donations decline in late spring and early summer — especially during holiday weeks, like Memorial Day and Independence Day — but the need for blood and platelet transfusions doesn’t take a summer break. Generous blood and platelet donors are critically important in ensuring lifesaving care is available the moment patients need it. To schedule an appointment to donate, download the Red Cross Blood Donor App, visit RedCrossBlood. org or call 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-7332767). As a thank-you for helping, in honor of the new Baz Luhrmann film, Elvis, all who come to give in the month of June will be automatically entered for a chance to win a VIP trip to Graceland for two, including round-trip airfare to Memphis, plus a three-night stay at The Guest House and Elvis Entourage VIP tour, courtesy of Graceland, a custom-wrapped Gibson Epiphone guitar and more. Additionally, those who come to donate June 1-30 will also receive a $5 e-gift card to a merchant of choice.

The American Red Cross is joining in the celebration of World Blood Donor Day and is requesting blood donations.

Montgomery, from 12 – 6 p.m. HEALTH INSIGHTS FOR DONORS At a time when health information has never been more important, the Red Cross is screening all blood, platelet and plasma donations from self-identified African American donors for the sickle cell trait. This additional screening will provide Black donors with an additional health insight and help the Red Cross identify compatible blood types more quickly to help patients with sickle cell disease. Blood transfusion is an essential treatment for those with sickle cell disease, and blood donations from individuals of the same race, ethnicity and blood type have a unique ability to help patients fighting sickle cell disease. Donors can expect to receive sickle cell trait screening results, if applicable, within one to two weeks through the Red Cross Blood Donor App and the online donor portal at RedCrossBlood. org. BLOOD DRIVE SAFETY The Red Cross follows a high standard of safety and infection control. The Red Cross will continue to socially distance wherever possible at blood drives, donation centers and facilities. While donors are no longer required to wear a face mask, individuals may choose to continue to wear a mask for any reason. The Red Cross will also adhere to more stringent face mask requirements per state and/or local guidance, or

at the request of blood drive sponsors. Donors are asked to schedule an appointment prior to arriving at a drive. HOW TO DONATE BLOOD Simply download the American Red Cross Blood Donor App, visit RedCrossBlood.org, call 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767) or enable the Blood Donor Skill on any Alexa Echo device to make an appointment or for more information. All blood types are needed to ensure a reliable supply for patients. A blood donor card or driver’s license or two other forms of identification are required at check-in. Individuals who are 17 years of age in most states (16 with parental consent where allowed by state law), weigh at least 110 pounds and are in generally good health may be eligible to donate blood. High school students and other donors 18 years of age and younger also have to meet certain height and weight requirements. Blood and platelet donors can save time at their next donation by using RapidPass to complete their pre-donation reading and health history questionnaire online, on the day of their donation, before arriving at the blood drive.

don’t display the covenant, and it’s true some church members, like the lady I met, don’t practice it. The idea is that we should belong to local churches in order to be involved in their ministries in local communities. My mother-in-law listens to gospel music produced by a Southern preacher and played on his cable channel. I watched one day and heard him read the names of new church members, many of whom were from other states. This is an interesting phenomenon. I assume they worship through cyberspace and mail offerings, but again the question is how do they participate in their church’s ministry in the local

community? I’ve seen similar situations in some of the rural churches in our state who include members on their rolls from other places. These grew up in those churches but decided not to move their memberships—this would be almost like abandoning their culture, I’ve heard it said. Sometimes these faraway folk return for the annual homecoming service, and, of course, everyone is happy to see them. But the basic question remains: how do they participate in their church’s ministry in the local community. I know we can’t be rigid about how far is too far. I’ve known people who’ve driven

across their cities to attend churches on the other side of town. And I’ve heard it said, “It’s not the church nearest; it’s the church dearest.” But the basic premise of church membership remains that not only are we called to support our churches financially, but also to help them make a difference for God in local communities. As Jesus said, the work begins in our own “Jerusalem” (Acts 1:8). “Reflections” is a weekly faith column written by Michael J. Brooks, pastor of the Siluria Baptist Church, Alabaster, Alabama.

eight years and wanted the chance to grow, so that has me really ready to start. I know Holtville has a good tradition in basketball and kids there love the sport. They are giving me the chance to get here and build something, so I jumped on the opportunity.” Myrthil is excited to join the Holtville basketball program, which he said has a tradition-rich program with previous success. Holtville has one state title in basketball,

winning the AHSAA Class 3A state championship in 1996. The Bulldogs found success last year, but missed the playoffs with a 12-12 overall record and a 2-6 record in Class 5A, Area 6. All five of Holtville’s starters were seniors last year, and their main six-man rotation were all seniors. Not many underclassmen got a lot of playing time, so Myrthil is excited to be able to come in and implement a new system

without having to completely uproot the whole program. “I’m opening up the team for everyone,” Myrthil said. “Nothing is set in stone.

Six county players named to AHSAA North-South All-Star Games By DALTON MIDDLETON Sports Editor

ix baseball and softball players from around Elmore County have been selected to play in the 2022 AHSAA North-South All-Star games. Brandon Dean, the Director of the Alabama High School Athletic Directors and Coaches Association (AHSADCA), announced the rosters for the two games on Tuesday. The All-Star games consist of 2023 rising seniors and were chosen by a special coaches committee from nominations from AHSAA member school coaches. The AHSAA Summer Conference and All-Star Week will be July 18-22 in Montgomery. In baseball, both the North and South teams will consist of 18 players from across the state. On the South team, four rising seniors from Elmore County made the cut. Wetumpka shortstop Ty Brooks and pitcher Jaxon Shineflew are on the team, while Holtville shortstop Sam Silas and Stanhope Elmore shortstop and pitcher

With summer in full effect now since it’s June, sports have slowed down. They’re still happening, but at a much slower pace. In the meantime, I’ve been trying to work on the All-County teams for baseball and softball for both Elmore County and Tallapoosa County, since we are still down a sports writer there. Looking back at this past season, for all the teams, is fun and worthwhile doing to honor the kids that are deserving of honors and awards. But as much as I enjoy looking back, I also really enjoy looking ahead and thinking about what can happen here in the near future. So I’ve been looking towards football season, and I think it’s going to be a fun one around the county. Four of the six area teams from last year made the playoffs. Elmore County and Stanhope Elmore missed the postseason, while every other team was eliminated in the first round. This year, I think every single team in the area has a chance to make the postseason. Do I think a state champion will be crowned in the county? Ehh, probably not. But who knows. Anything can happen between now and December. Prove me wrong, teams. One of the things that I think will lead to a good year is the amount of good starting quarterbacks returning this year. Obviously, it takes more than just a quarterback to make a team good, but every single team in the county returns its starting quarterback. Those guys are Wetumpka junior Nate Rogers, Stanhope Elmore junior Jacob Bryant, Edge-

wood Academy senior Austin Champion, Holtville senior Tanner Potts, Tallassee senior Tyler Ellis, and Elmore County senior Payton Stephenson. All six guys had successful seasons last year, and all of them are entering at least their second year as a starter. Some more than that, as Stephenson is going into this third year as the Panthers’ starter and Ellis will be starting for his fourth year. Along with those starting quarterbacks are some dynamic playmakers coming back. At Stanhope Elmore, Jackson Thomas returns after a great junior year. The Mustangs lost Antoino Trone, their workhorse running back, but the passing game looks to be much improved. Bryant and Thomas will be a fun connection. At Wetumpka, Dorion Jackson will be catching passes from Rogers again, and the two had a really good connection last year. I may get an early glimpse at that this summer as the Indians start 7-on-7s this week. Potts has a few weapons to throw to. Weston Tubbs is coming back from an injury, and Erik Adkins is a huge deep threat for the Bulldogs. Stephenson will have one of the top receivers in the state to throw to in Jabari Murphy. Murphy has played a variety of roles so far in his young career, and he makes plays at all of them. Enough about the players. One of the most interesting aspects of this upcoming year is the new coaches. We have two new coaches in the county this year with Wetumpka hiring Bear Woods and See FOOTBALL, Page B3

Zach Stevens round out the team. All four players had stellar junior seasons this past year. Brooks, a South Alabama commit, hit .416 this past season with 32 hits, 22 RBIs, 23 walks, five doubles, five triples, 12 stolen bases and 42 runs scored. He

only struck out eight times all season. Shineflew, the Indians’ ace and also a South Alabama commit, went 7-1 on the year with a 1.02 ERA and allowed only eight earned runs the entire year. He struck out 79 batters in See ALL-STAR, Page B3 JAKE ARTHUR | THE HERALD

not a bad thing. We will be able to see them adapt and flourish in what we’re going to be doing.” Myrthil isn’t entering with an exact idea of an offensive scheme he wants to run with the team. He’s a veteran coach, and he knows as well as anyone that a high school coach has to adapt to the players he has on the team. He knows his team will be limited to who walks the hallways at Holtville, so that’s what he has to work with and adapt his team to. Skill sets and talents change, but one thing does not change. That is playing strong defense. “One thing we will do is strive to play tough defense,” Myrthil said. “Offensively, it will depend on our skill sets and talent of the players we have. The one consistency you will see, however, is us playing defense for 90 feet. We will play defense.” At Marengo, Myrthil served as the head basketball, track and field, football, and athletic director. He’s also coached baseball in the past, so one of the things he is most excited about is being able to focus on only basketball

and track at Holtville. He said it was “refreshing” and it gives him the chance to work more thoroughly with the kids on his teams. This gives him the opportunity to try and perfect the basketball program, and it makes him available to basketball players from the start. However, he is not ready to give up the pigskin just yet. He has had plenty of success as a head football coach during his career, and he and Franklin have already met and had plenty of talks about how each like to coach football. He said he is at Franklin’s disposal as an assistant on the football team, and will help in whatever capacity that Franklin wants. In the meantime, Myrthil is still making his drive from Marengo to Slapout every day to try and get his players ready for next season. He was not able to hold a tryout as school has already ended, but he is able to begin workouts with the players he currently has. He began workouts on Monday afternoon, mostly weightlifting and cardio. When school begins in the fall, he will hold tryouts to get more players on the team.

FOOTBALL Continued from B1

Elmore County hiring Kyle Caldwell. Woods is replacing Tim Perry, who has been with the Indians for 10 years and led them to nine consecutive playoff appearances and a state championship appearance back in 2017. Heck of a decade for them. Change is a good thing, sometimes, and Wetumpka is hoping Woods brings some new energy to the field. Coming out of playing in the Canadian Football League, Woods knows what it takes to play at the highest level possible and is going to demand that from his guys. Over in Eclectic, Caldwell will have a tough job of turning the Panthers’ program around. Elmore County hasn’t reached the playoffs since 2011, and they’ve won only four games in the last three seasons. They went 0-10 last season. Caldwell looks to be a good fit with the team, and the most important part to finding any success this year is to get some more players on the roster. Elmore County had a tiny roster compared to

ALL STARS

Continued from B1

46.1 innings and allowed 28 hits and 16 walks. Silas, who is committed to Jacksonville State, hit .401 this season with 55 hits, nine doubles, five triples, one home run, 40 RBIs, 49 runs scored, and 30 stolen bases. He helped lead Holtville to a state championship appearance in Class 5A. Stevens, also committed to South Alabama, was one of the top two-way players in the county. On the mound, he had a 2.74 ERA with 85 strikeouts in 59 innings. He averaged 10.1 strikeouts per seven innings. At the plate, he hit .330 with 37 hits, 12 doubles, two home runs, 21 RBIs, 31 runs scored and 16 stolen bases. “This is an outstanding group of baseball standouts and coaches from our member schools,” said Dean. “We are proud to announce these teams and look forward to watching them in the All-Star competition set for the All-Star

other Class 5A teams last season, and many players never left the field. That’s tough in any classification, but especially 5A. Caldwell and Woods are both going to do well at their respective schools, and maybe we’ll start to see that success come as early as 2022. Both teams will face some new area opponents as regions have switched this year. Wetumpka’s region opponents are Park Crossing, Russell County, Stanhope Elmore, Carver Montgomery, Sidney Lanier and defending 5A champion Pike Road. Obviously that’s the same region for Stanhope. Class 5A, Region 4 will consist of Elmore County, Sylacauga, Central of Clay County, Tallassee, Beauregard and Valley. Honestly a pretty tough region. Holtville leaves that region and joins Region 3 and will play Demopolis, Jemison, Marbury, Selma and Shelby County. With those new regions, it looks like I’ll get to see rivalries continue to take place, but I’ll get to see some new teams that I haven’t covered in the past. Looks like it’ll be a fun fall.

Sports Week this summer.” In the softball All-Star game, two players from Elmore County were selected for the South roster, while Elmore County coach Mark Segrest will be one of the two coaches on the South team. Segrest has led Elmore County to back-to-back state tournament appearances and nearly 100 wins in the three seasons he has been head coach for the Lady Panthers. He will coach his daughter, Anna Catherine Segrest, in the All-Star game. Segrest, a middle-infielder for the Lady Panthers, is joined by Wetumpka shortstop Ashlynn Campbell on the roster. Segrest, in 52 games this year, hit .420 with 73 hits, 53 RBIs, 21 doubles, six triples, three home runs and 51 runs scored this year. Segrest also led the team in stolen bases, going 19 for 19 on the year. Campbell, a Purdue commit, hit .537 with a team-high 86 hits, eight doubles, 10 triples, one home run, 22 RBIs, 75 runs scored, and a whopping 55 stolen bases.

Plus, with the Sun in your sign, things will tend to go your way and people are likely to help you. Tonight: Socialize. CANCER (June 21-July 22) You will be powerful today when talking to others, especially friends and groups, or in meetings or classes.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Today, especially this morning, is a strong time for you to speak to bosses, parents and authority gures about what you want, because they will listen to you. Admittedly, they, too, will be very direct in their communications. You might see ways to improve your job or your health. Tonight: Study and learn. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Today begins with the Moon in your sign dancing powerfully with Mercury and Pluto. Even after the Moon changes signs, you will still be in the zone to make things happen, especially nancially or regarding making travel plans and studying. It’s a good day to get

things done! Tonight: Money ideas? LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Today you have some excellent ideas about how to use the resources of others, including the government, banks or your partner’s assets, to make improvements at home or in your personal life.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Expect to have dynamic conversations with others today -- your friends, partners, spouses and even members of the general public. You will express yourself forcefully, and so will they. Hopefully, this will be in the interests of getting things done. Tonight: Enjoy privacy. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) This is a good day to focus on how to improve your job, your health or even how you take care of your pet. Look for ways to do things better, because, let’s face it, there is no end to “better.” There is always room for improvement. Tonight: Schmooze! CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Today you are in an exploratory frame of mind. You want to test new ideas and discover new ways of thinking. Later in the day, you might nd yourself in the public eye more than usual. Perhaps people know certain details about your private life. Tonight: You are noticed. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Family discussions and plans for home repairs will be successful today. The support and resources that you need will be there. And later in the day, you might try a new approach to something -- perhaps a diﬀerent way of doing things. Tonight: Explore! PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) This is a busy, productive day for you. Short trips, errands and appointments will ow smoothly. Admittedly, during the Moon Alert, you might encounter a few speed bumps or delays. Nevertheless, you will be very convincing when talking to others today. Tonight: Check your nances.

Vol. 31, No. 23

Taylor Hicks to headline 32nd Annual Jazz Fest By KAITLIN FLEMING Managing Editor Platinum recording artist and American Idol winner Taylor Hicks will return to the Lake Martin Amphitheater on Saturday, June 11 for the final night of Jazz Fest. Hicks expressed his excitement about returning to Jazz Fest and said the venue is unique. “To play on the lake… it’s awesome,” said Hicks. “It’s a super neat venue. Such a great layout, too.” Hicks is no stranger to Lake Martin or the surrounding area. “I basically grew up on Lake Martin,” said Hicks. “Jazz Fest is my favorite show to do. To be able to come back and headline a show at The Amphitheater is great. I love the people around the lake. It’s such a great lake.” Jazz Fest, a two-night music festival that is free to the public, is one of the largest free outdoor concerts in the state. The first night is held at Strand Park in Alexander City. Friday night will see the likes of Hot 8 Brass Band and The Talismen. Hicks is set to perform in Eclectic Saturday night and concert-goers can expect to hear the same jazzy-blues Hicks is known for. He will treat listeners to some of his songs and some other hits, as well. Joining Hicks on the stage Saturday night will be Joslyn & The Sweet Compression and Tristen Gressett. The event kicks off at 6 p.m. Hicks said he’ll also be signing merchandise after the show. Hicks is excited about more than just the concert, however. He hopes to spend some time on Lake Martin. “I built in some time to visit some friends on the lake

Platinum recording artist and American Idol winner Taylor Hicks will return to the Lake Martin Amphitheater on Saturday, June 11 for the final night of Jazz Fest.

and get on a boat and just go,” said Hicks. Hicks has been busy after his 2006 win on American Idol. Hicks signed a recording contract with 19 Recordings Limited/Arista Records, managed by American Idol creator Simon Fuller, in May 2006 and then debuted his single “Do I Make You Proud” on the number one spot on the Billboard Hot 100 and was subsequently certified gold by the RIAA. Studio recording sessions for the self-titled Taylor Hicks album ran in Calabasas, California between October and November 2006. The album was released on December 12, 2006 and debuted at the number two spot on the

Billboard 200 charts. It was certified as a platinum album by the RIAA on January 17, 2007. Hicks embarked on a three-month promotional tour for his album that started on February 21 in Jacksonville, Florida, and ended in Seattle, Washington on May 12. In 2008, Hicks joined the cast of the Broadway musical Grease in the Brooks Atkinson Theatre. He played the role of “Teen Angel”. Once his 18-month tour in the traveling Broadway show Grease ended, Hicks performed in over 20 live shows. In 2009 Hicks released his second album, The Distance, on his own label, Modern Whomp Records, on March 10, 2009. The first single, “What’s Right Is Right”

reached number 24 on Hot Adult Contemporary Tracks. In May 2009, Taylor Hicks made Forbes’ “Top Ten earning American Idol stars” list, coming in at number 10, with over $300,000 earned from album sales and from his role as “Teen Angel” in the national tour of Grease. In May 2011, Taylor Hicks opened ORE Drink and Dine restaurant in Birmingham, Alabama. ORE Drink and Dine re-opened as Saw’s Juke Joint, a barbecue and live music bar, on October 30, 2012. In September 2017, Taylor Hicks premiered his song, “Six Strings and Diamond Rings” with Billboard Music, his first musical release since 2009.

Hicks also had a three-season stint as host for State Plate on the INSP channel from 2016-2018. State Plate featured iconic dishes and ingredients from each state in the United States. Hicks’ latest song debut in 2017 had fans excited for another album. Hicks wouldn’t say exactly when the new album would debut — although it will be in 2022 — but he said it would be “soon.” “Actually, I’d say sooner than soon,” said Hicks. Hicks is recording the album at Zac Brown’s Southern Ground recording studio in Nashville, Tennessee. Once the album is released, Hicks will hit the road for an “extensive” tour.
