Average gasoline prices in Alabama have fallen 4.6 cents per gallon in the last week, averaging $4.57 per gallon Monday, according to GasBuddy’s survey of 3,348 stations in Alabama. Prices in Alabama are 27.1 cents per gallon higher than a month ago and stand $1.78 per gallon higher than a year ago. The price of diesel has risen 2.6 cents nationally in the past week and stands at $5.80 per gallon.

boat drivers, cook and serve, just whatever is needed. It’s a phenomenal partnership between all the firefighter groups here from across the state. They are really engaged with the campers here.” Roberson said some of the campers will return to Camp Conquest after they turn 17 to serve as counselors. Camp Conquest co-director Rodger Cofer said the firefighters sometimes see the children in tragic situations but the camp helps both the firefighter and the camper.
“It gives the kids a chance to interact with firefighters,” Cofer said. “We have had kids here who were saved by some of these firefighters.” Camp Conquest said the firefighters are not in turnout gear and the children are not in danger. Camp Conquest is a chance for everyone to have fun. “We have the color games,” Roberson said. “We have boating and tubing. They love canoeing, fishing, basketball and putt putt. Here at Children’s Harbor they have everything. It is a fantastic facility.” Cofer said there was little classroom time though it was fun.
“This year our theme has been ‘Out of this World’ based on science and planets,” Cofer said. “They have done science projects based on it.” Cofer said Camp Conquest reached out to boaters around Lake Martin this year to help with access to boats due to higher gas prices. It was the volunteers who provided another lesson for everyone at Camp Conquest. “The outpouring of support was unbelievable,” Cofer said. “Unfortunately with the storm Tuesday we had some boat damage and even sunk a boat. The volunteers turned it around, where we felt so bad for them, they have been great.”

Do campaign ads pander? D uring the waning days of the campaigns for Governor and U.S. Senator, I received an inordinate amount of correspondence lamenting the outrageous, demagogic, disingenuous, negative ads, especially on television. The frustration can best be summed up by a thoughtful writer’s comments, “Steve, it is sad with all the issues we need to face in Alabama (health, education, infrastructure) we continue to dumb down our elections. I found the Kay Ivey ads revolting and racist.” The writer went on to say that he was a Democrat, and he knew a Democrat could not win in Alabama and the best they could get is 40 percent. My response was, “Negative and dumbed down, overt racist ads work. If they didn’t, then these media gurus would not use them.” Over 65 percent of the ads used were negative, over the top ads that only had a scintilla of truth. Why, again? Because they work. I also told this reader that this vicious, atrocious simpleton advertising is not limited to just Alabama. We are a right wing conservative Republican state and only conservative Republicans vote in a Republican Primary. This reader stated he is a Democrat. He probably did not plan to vote in the Republican Primary. Therefore, the ads were not designed to appease or attract him or his vote. Ads are designed to pander to right wing, conservative Alabamians. Therefore, it is pretty clear that ads are going to depict their candidate as being against abortion, illegal immigrants and for having, owning, and shooting guns. The media gurus are obviously going to say that someone’s Republican opponent is for killing babies, letting Mexicans cross the border illegally and being against the Second Amendment. Furthermore, allow me to take up for the Republican electorate of Alabama,

who have consumed these ads. We are a red right wing Republican state. If you think these media gurus or hired guns, as I like to call them, are not moving to a left-wing liberal state and doing the same thing to the left wing voters of California and New York, you are mistaken. If you were to see the television ads in a California Democratic Primary, these hired guns would be revealing to the left wing, liberal base ads that show their candidates advocating that the governor should perform free abortions on demand during the third trimester on the Capitol steps, and every county in California should be made to open and fund transgender schools. The hired guns would further have a picture of their gubernatorial candidate holding a welcome sign and personally embracing all illegal immigrants crossing the border and gifting them a social security card, welfare check and voucher to any school in the Golden State, and of course giving them a democratic voting application regardless of whether they could read, write or speak English. Their gubernatorial candidate would follow up with a statement saying, “We as democrats do not care what this costs us because we do not believe in a balanced budget.” Then they would have their gubernatorial candidate erecting signs all over the state instructing all gun owners to turn over their guns, immediately, because the Second Amendment does not apply in California.
In short, we are a very diverse and very partisan nation. There is a lot of difference in political and social philosophy between California and Alabama. California is definitely a liberal Democratic state and Alabama is definitely a conservative Republican state. The same hired gun political ad gurus travel from Alabama to California. They do not dwell on philosophy. They are hired to win elections. They design their ads to appeal to the base of the conservative Republican Party in Alabama and they design ads to pander to the left wing, liberal Democratic base in California. As far as our Alabama GOP Primary, in defense of Kay Ivey, she was going to win reelection regardless of what her eight opponents did or how much they spent. She would have gotten 60 percent if there had not been $16 million of mostly untruthful negative ads thrown at her. She did not go negative against the eight novices that attacked her. Folks, Kay Ivey, ain’t anymore for abortions on demand than Mother Teresa. In closing, negative ads work. It they didn’t work they would not use them. You always have and probably always will see negative ads. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist in Huntsville to understand that if you are trying to win a Republican Primary in Alabama, you pander to the conservative base voter. So, you ask, “Do campaign ads pander?” The answer is “Duh, yes.” See you next week. Steve Flowers is Alabama’s leading political columnist. His column appears in over 60 Alabama newspapers.

eorgia’s primary election was a success, reporting record turnout. Some of the supporters of losing candidates and those politicians forced into a runoff have complained that Democrats got to vote in the GOP Primary, and have alleged this accounted for the dismal performance of several of Trump’s endorsed candidates. But simple arithmetic will show this is not the case. Governor Brian Kemp cruised to renomination against former Senator David Perdue with more than 70 percent of the vote. Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, Attorney General Chris Carr, Insurance Commissioner John King, and State School Superintendent Richard Woods also won renomination handily (more than 50 percent +1) without needing a runoff, even though Donald Trump endorsed a rival slate, and even heavily criticized several of these candidates on many occasions. Some were bitterly disappointed. One columnist claimed “Nobody in any election in America gets 74 percent of the votes. Ever. It doesn’t happen. Obvious fraud” even though a number of Trump-endorsed candidates have done so. Such arguments unsuccessfully explain how Trump-endorsed state legislator Burt Jones defeated fellow state legislator Butch Miller without needing a runoff, or how Trump-endorsed Herschel Walker got 68.2 percent of
JOHN TURES Columnist the votes, if some anti-Trump algorithm was deployed. How did Marjorie Taylor Greene get 70 percent of the vote against several opposing candidates with such an algorithm? The columnist also called Insurance Commissioner John King “a nobody,” despite his law enforcement and military record. I interviewed him at a Senator Kelly Loeffler event, and was very impressed. I can see why he won by a wide margin. Ditto Attorney General Chris Carr. But the conspiracy theories persist. After all, a Trump-endorsed candidate could never lose without some sort of nefarious excuse. The latest accusation is that Democrats crossed over and voted against Trump candidates in the Georgia primary. There are claims that 37,000 Democrats crossed party lines, or at least 37,000 voters who voted in the Georgia Democratic Party primary in 2020 voted in the 2022 GA Republican primary according to the Associated Press. Now 37,000 voters sound like a lot, until you realize it’s less than the 41,109 votes Kandiss Taylor received in the GOP guber-
natorial primary, or 3.4 percent of the vote. Brian Kemp earned 885,551 votes in the Georgia Governor primary. We also don’t know how these 37,000 voted. Are they now Republicans, angry about inflation? It’s possible. Do we know exactly how these all 37,000 voters voted? Of course not. We’re thankfully not an authoritarian state and still have the secret ballot, though these critics claim to magically know. We also know the trend is that Democrats are actually supporting extremist Republicans in a number of races, knowing they’ll be less electable in Fall contests. In reality, many Republicans who were criticized by Trump won in Georgia. Some of Trump’s endorsed candidates won, even by wide margins. Democrats didn’t provide the decisive margin of victory for candidates, because we don’t know that (a) these are still Democrats, or even (b) how they voted, given that Democrats are backing some of these candidates who appeal to MAGA. And (c) their percentage was actually quite tiny, less than four percent of the vote. This is a far more plausible explanation than some of the conspiracy theories. John A.

Children’s Hospital recognized as the best BY BETH CHAPMAN
T
he one word we in Alabama want and need to hear when a child needs serious medical attention is “Children’s.” At Children’s Hospital of Alabama, we know a child will receive the absolute best healthcare and most up-to-date medical treatment available. U.S. News & World Report has again recognized that fact and named Children’s Hospital of Alabama in a three-way tie for the best pediatric hospital in the southeast. Children’s tied with Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta and Monroe Carell, Jr. Children’s Hospital of Vanderbilt. This is the 13th consecutive year Children’s of Alabama has participated in the U.S. News & World Report rankings program, and it is the 13th consecutive year it has been included in the rankings among the best children’s hospitals in the
Southeast. This comes as no surprise to any of us who have ever taken a child there for medical care and received world-class treatment and first-class care. When I worked for the Cystic Fibrosis (CF) Foundation for 10 years, all the children we worked with were patients at Children’s. There’s no question these young patients received some of the best healthcare care in the world. As I travelled to conferences across the country, it was Children’s Hospital of Alabama that scientists referenced for its ground-breaking research and state-ofthe-art treatment centers – not just for CF, but for multiple illnesses and diagnosis. Children’s Hospital of Alabama scored in the top 50 nationally on all 10 of the following services which are considered in the ranking: cancer; cardiology and heart surgery; diabetes and endocrinology; gastroenterology and gastrointestinal surgery; neonatology;
nephrology; neurology and neurosurgery; orthopedics; pulmonology; and urology. Children’s is a clinical and educational arm of the UAB School of Medicine. The hospital has provided specialized care for children via inpatient and outpatient medical services since 1911 throughout central Alabama. Children’s Hospital of Alabama is a private, non-profit 501 (c) (3) medical center. It is the teaching hospital for UAB Medical School’s pediatric medicine, surgery, psychiatry, research and residency programs. The medical staff consists of Children’s full-time physicians, faculty members of UAB and private practicing physicians in the community. I hope you never have a sick or injured child, but if you do and you hear a doctor say, “Go to Children’s,” just go there. You’ll be glad you did because your child will get the best medical care available – right here in Alabama.

Gilbert is a two-year-old male Pit mix, 65 lbs, high energy but also a huge love bug! He came to us last August with a horribly imbedded collar and heartworm positive. With the help of a local Veterinarian, he fully recovered and makes us laugh every day with his antics. Gilbert is a giant lap dog, sits for treats, lives for a belly rub, loves to be brushed and loved on. He loves rope toys, chasing a ball (but not bringing it back) and is even happy getting a bath! He is an active boy that deserves a better remainder of his life than whatever his previous life was. He is great with female dogs (no male dog partners please) and cats!

Did you know that June is National Camping Month? June is a great time of the year to go camping. Many people like to take vacations where they spend time in the great outdoors. It is a way to turn off the television and electronics and spend time with nature. Campers usually choose to sleep in a tent or RV, but some campers choose to just sleep under the stars. The father of modern camping was Thomas Hiram Holding. He began camping as a boy in the 1850’s and started the Camping Club of Great Britain and Ireland in 1907, a club that is still active today. There are many campgrounds throughout the United States, for both public and private use. Many of these campgrounds have outdoor electrical outlets, hot showers, restrooms, and laundry facilities. Backpacking is another type of camping. Backpackers travel on foot carrying all of their provisions in a backpack. These packs can sometimes weigh up to 50 pounds, so it is important that they plan carefully. For this reason, they need special equipment that is both durable and lightweight. A typical camping backpack is designed to attach to a metal frame that helps to distribute the weight evenly. Campfires are used when camping to cook food, provide light at night, keep animals away, and provide warmth during cool nights. It’s important to always make sure they are put out properly to avoid forest fires. Roasting marshmallows, telling stories, and singing songs are common around the campfire. Camping is fun, but many safety rules should be followed. Never camp alone or without an adult. Make sure you use sunscreen when outdoors. Drink plenty of water. Keep food waste properly sealed so that you do not attract wild animals, such as racoons or bears. Do not camp during bad weather; always find shelter. Make sure you have the proper equipment before going on your camping trip!

the story, visiting Kansas many times along with his Alabama friend, Nelle Harper Lee (who published “To Kill A Mockingbird” in 1960). “In Cold Blood” was published in 1966. Capote called it a “nonfiction novel.” It became the second best-selling truecrime book in history behind “Helter Skelter” chronicling the life and times of Charles Manson. The tragedy of “In Cold Blood” continued with the decline of Capote. He never wrote another novel and died after many years of drug use and alcoholism. The Valley View Cemetery in Garden City is beautiful and well-maintained, though
I expected the Clutter burial site would be more ornate. Instead, there are three simple headstones as one might see in any community cemetery. I have conducted almost 400 funerals over the years. I try as all pastors do to offer comfort to broken families. We read about the resurrection of Christ and his promise that “Because I live, you shall live also” (John 14:19). But a Christian funeral is also a time to challenge the living about a day that is sure to come. As I often say, “There’s a red letter day on God’s calendar as far as you’re concerned. This is the day you will step into eternity and give account to the God
who gave you life.” Our deaths may not be as notable as the Clutters, but death is certain. I remember as a boy often seeing crosses alongside the Alabama highways with the words, “Prepare to meet God.” I later learned this is a word from the ancient prophet Amos. Though hundreds of years old, this exhortation is yet timely. Today is, indeed, a day of preparation to meet God. “Reflections” is a weekly faith column written by Michael J.

All-Elmore County
Baseball Team
By DALTON MIDDLETON Sports Editor The 2022 baseball season has come to an end in Elmore County, and plenty of success and milestones were seen this season. 12 players were selected to be on the All-County first team, while 12 were added to the second team. The remaining players were added as honorable mentions. The team is headlined by Player of the Year Todd Wilson, who excelled both on the mound and at the plate as he helped lead Holtville to the Class 5A state championship. The Elmore County Coach of the Year is Holtville’s Scott Tubbs. Tubbs, winning the award for the second-consecutive season, had to lead Holtville through multiple injuries to a Class 5A state championship appearance. It was Holtville’s first state championship appearance since 1983. The teams, in alphabetical order, are as follows: FIRST TEAM Ty Brooks, Wetumpka INF Brooks, who is committed to South Alabama, is one of the flashiest players not only in the county, but in the entire state. He hit .416 this season with 32 hits, five doubles, five triples, 22 RBIs, 42 runs scored and 12 stolen bases. Sean Darnell, Elmore County INF/P For the second straight season, Darnell lit up opposing pitchers at the plate. Elmore County’s star two-way player ended up hitting .450 with 36 hits, 15 doubles, one triple, 27 RBIs, 35 runs scored and 22 stolen bases while only striking out five times. On the mound, he was 7-2 with a 2.56 ERA and 53 strikeouts. Evan Duncan, Stanhope Elmore OF/P Duncan, the biggest player in the county standing at 6-foot-6, jumped onto the scene this year. The outfielder hit .436 with 48 hits, eight doubles, seven home runs and 32 RBIs. On the mound, he served as the Mustangs’ closer and went 8-0 with two saves, a 1.73 ERA and 41 strikeouts in 32 innings. Kyle Morrison, Wetumpka INF/P Morrison, a Troy signee, entered the season as one of the best power hitters in the county, and he showed multiple times this season by hitting .402 with 38 hits, 10 doubles, four home runs, 30 RBIs and 44 runs scored. Batting in the leadoff, he was pitched around many times and walked 28 times. Tanner Potts, Holtville INF/P Potts, one of the slickest fielding third basemen in the state, had a stellar season for Holtville both on the mound and at the plate. He finished the year with a .406 average with 52 hits, 12 doubles, one home run and 47 RBIs. On the mound, he finished with a 9-2 record and a 2.30 ERA. Jaxon Shineflew, Wetumpka P/INF Shineflew, who is also committed to South Alabama, was lights out on the mound this season. The junior left-hander had a 7-1 record with a 1.02 earned run average. In 46.1 innings pitched, he allowed only eight earned runs on 28 hits and 16 walks. He struck out 79 batters. Sam Silas, Holtville INF Silas, a Jacksonville State commit, held down shortstop and was one of the key pieces of Holtville’s lineup. He ended the season with a .401 average with a team-high 55 hits, five triples, one home run, 40 RBIs, 49 runs scored and 30 stolen bases. Garritt Terrell, Wetumpka C Terrell had one of the best seasons of any player in Elmore County this season. The Indians’ catcher led Wetumpka in batting with a .425 average with 31 hits, nine doubles, one home run and 28 RBIs. He showed a veteran approach at the plate with 20 walks and only six strikeouts. Colton Walls, Stanhope Elmore INF/P Walls, a Troy commit in both baseball and football, was another one of the top two-way starts around the county. On the mound, Walls finished with a 1.33 ERA, lowest on the Mustangs, with 48 strikeouts in 42 innings. At the plate, he .360 with 40 hits, nine doubles, seven home runs and 29 RBIs. Chase Williams, Stanhope Elmore OF/UTIL There isn’t a baseball player in the county as fast as Williams, who plays seemingly every position for the Mustangs. This year, Williams led all hitters with a .475 batting average and had 58 hits, 11 doubles, three triples and 19 RBIs. He scored 46 runs and had 28 stolen bases. See BASEBALL TEAM, Page B2

2022 ELMORE COUNTY BASEBALL
COACH OF THE YEAR:
TUBBS LEADS HOLTVILLE TO CLASS 5A TITLE GAME By DALTON MIDDLETON Sports Editor
S
cott Tubbs knew his Holtville baseball team was going to be good in 2022, but he didn’t foresee his team having to overcome so many injuries during the process. Holtville reached the AHSAA Class 5A quarterfinals in 2021, and the Bulldogs had high expectations entering the 2022 campaign as they returned eight of their nine position players and a plethora of pitchers. But then Randy Davis, one of the top pitchers for Holtville, went down with an arm injury and
couldn’t pitch at all during this season. Then Mikey Forney, who played catcher and outfield, also went down with an injury to his throwing arm that forced him to hunker down at first base and play designated hitter. Then to top it all off, Todd Wilson, the team’s ace, dealt with tendonitis during the entire season. But despite the injuries, Tubbs put together the best lineup he thought possible, and he led Holtville to the AHSAA Class 5A state championship series and the most wins in a single-season in school history. It was the first state championship appearance for the Bulldogs since
1983. For that reason, Tubbs has been named the 2022 Elmore County Baseball Coach of the Year. “This was a very fun year and very stressful, all at the same time,” Tubbs said. “We never got to play the guys the way we thought we would get to, but it felt like the kids really responded well to everything we tried to get them to do. But they fought and they had a chance there at the end. I was proud of what we were able to do. Obviously you want to win it, but at the end of the day, we just came up short. They did everything that they could humanly do to overcome those injuries.”
Holtville finished the season with a 35-7 overall record and state-runner up. Their 35 wins set a new single-season school record for wins. But it wasn’t always pretty during the year. The Bulldogs started the season with a 13-1 record, with their only two loss coming to a very talented Stanhope Elmore team. Then the team fell into their only small slump of the season. In four games from March 17 to March 24, the Bulldogs went 1-3 and were outscored 26-10 in the three losses. They were able to bounce back and See TUBBS, Page B2
2022 Elmore County Baseball Player of the Year: Holtville’s Wilson goes out a winner By DALTON MIDDLETON Sports Editor Todd Wilson has always pitched at an elite level, but the Holtville ace knew he needed to improve at hitting if he was going to have a successful senior season. Entering Wilson’s senior campaign, his best hitting season was his junior season when he finished with a .233 batting average with 28 hits and 13 RBIs. So Wilson sat down with assistant coach Chase Thornton, and they figured out that Wilson struggled the most with hitting outside pitches. The two set up a tee three inches off the plate, and they worked on hitting them for countless hours over a few weeks. After some improvement, he started hitting outside pitches from the pitching machine. They also worked on Wilson’s mindset at the plate. He said he used to just go up and try to hit a fastball, but he and Thornton talked through what pitches to expect in what count, and that helped him the most. Following the work he put in during the offseason, Wilson had an impressive season batting in the lead-

and his dominance on the mound, Wilson is the 2022 Elmore County Baseball Player of the Year. “I felt that if we were going to get where we wanted to be this season, which was the state championship, I needed to be able to hit too,” Wilson See WILSON, Page B2

said. “I feel like coach Thornton really helped me this summer with all the time we put in working on hitting. I really feel like that’s where I made my biggest strides this year.” Wilson had one of the county’s best pitching seasons during his junior season in 2021 when he finished the year with an 11-1 record and 2.14 ERA. And while he did improve the most at the plate, he also improved on the mound while also fighting tendinitis all season. In four less innings of work this season, Wilson struck out 10 more batters than he did last season, and he allowed six less earned runs. His only loss of the season came in February to Stanhope Elmore, and he earned the win in six of his 14 starts. The Bulldogs won 11 of his 14 starts, but he earned an no decision in seven games. He was consistent for the entire year, and pitched over five innings in 10 starts this season. He allowed over two earned runs only twice the entire year, and he struck out

win three in a row following, but then started area play with a bad loss. At home against Marbury in the area opener, Holtville lost in extra innings, 3-1. In that game, however, Todd Wilson struck out a career-high 17 batters. It didn’t matter though, because Holtville only had four hits in the game. Following that loss, Holtville didn’t lose another game until the state cham-
10 or more batters six times this year. “It’s crazy how consistent he was,” head coach Scott Tubbs said of Wilson. “This year, he kept rolling from what he did last year. Every opportunity he came in to pitch, he’d pretty much win. He lost one early in the season, and that was his only bad outing. He didn’t have all of his best stuff sometimes this year, but his ‘not best stuff’ is still good enough to win. That’s where he’s at. Even when his stuff isn’t great, it’s still good enough. That’s because of the way he competes.” Holtville’s last loss in a game with Wilson on the mound came on March 29, when the Bulldogs hosted Marbury in the area opener. Marbury beat Holtville, 3-1, but Wilson pitched arguably the best game of his career. He pitched a full seven innings and allowed only one run on five hits, and he struck out a career-high 17 batters. He was pulled due to pitch count, then the team lost in extra innings. Following that game, Wilson was nearly lights out. He pitched in two games in the area series against Elmore County, closing out Game 1 and then pitching eight innings in a win in Game 2. He then pitched five straight wins in the playoffs.
pionship series. The Bulldogs ended the regular season on a nine-game win streak, then they swept Rehobeth, Demopolis, UMS-Wright and Headland in the playoffs. “I think a lot of kids were stressed out because of some of the injuries,” Tubbs said of the rough stretch. “A lot of the kids were frustrated because we weren’t playing super well during that stretch. I think all of that was going on, and we just had to weather the storm a little bit. It finally clicked after that first Marbury game. We lost that one, and we used that
He allowed no earned runs against Rehobeth, one against Demopolis and UMS-Wright an, and then allowed zero earned runs against Headland in a complete game in the semifinals. In the state championship series, Wilson took the mound in Game 2 with Holtville down in the series, 1-0. Wilson pitched a complete game and allowed only two runs on five hits to tie the series, 1-1. He got it done offensively in the championship series as well as he went 4-7 with two walks and one RBI. The Bulldogs came up just short in the championship, but Wilson finished his high school career on top. He had 83 hits, 55 stolen bases and drove in 55 runs over the last two seasons at the leadoff spot, and he went 17-2 on the mound with a 1.91 ERA on the mound. He allowed only 42 earned runs in 153.2 innings and struck out 205 batters. “Todd was our leader,” Tubbs said. “Obviously, we don’t do anything that we’ve done over the last two years without him. That’s how important he was to our program. We needed a guy like him that would run everything and wasn’t afraid to take the bull by the horns and be a leader.”
as like ‘Guys, really? We have to be better than that.’ Two days later, we came out on fire and scored 20 runs and we just never looked back.” The state championship series didn’t turn out the way the Bulldogs wanted, but they had a chance until the end. Russellville beat Holtville in the bestof-three series, 2-1, after a late inning offensive explosion in Game 3. The state championship loss doesn’t define this Holtville squad and senior class. The Bulldogs won 62 games across the last two seasons and won six
playoff series during that stretch. They’ve won the area championship during both seasons with Tubbs as head coach. “This program has always had talented kids,” Tubbs said. “We have some really good baseball players. It’s not a me thing. It’s a kid thing. We have good talent and we have good kids. We have enough of those good kids that hold each other accountable. This group worked as a whole instead of a bunch of individuals. And as a group, they’re really good.”

Area high school students took part in a STEM camp at Central Alabama Community College this week getting their hands on drones and more.
LEARNING ON THE FLY By CLIFF WILLIAMS Staff Writer It sounded like a swarm of bees inside the Betty Carol Graham Technology Center as some high school students were watching and some running. But instead of getting stung by bees, students were stung by the excitement of Central Alabama Community College’s STEM Camp while flying drones. “It’s trying to generate interest in STEM and the career opportunities there,” CACC’s Michael Mann said. Some of the students have drones at home, but Mann said the drones students were flying in the STEM camp were a little different. “Ours are newer and they are interested in flying them,” Mann said. “They see you can make a living off them.” CACC held the camp at its three main campuses in Alexander City, Prattville and Childersburg to give everyone a chance to see what careers are out there. “They’ve heard from the Alabama Department of Conservation about how they use drones in forests,” Mann said. “The Tallapoosa County Sheriff’s Department spoke to them about how they use them in investigations.” Mann said the students picked up the necessary skills to fly the small drones inside. “The right hand controls direction — forward, reverse, right and left as long as the drone is going away from you,” Mann said. “The left joystick controls up, down and rotation. It’s jerky to start with but they smooth it out by the end of the day. The idea is flying it in a circle.” Quickly the students smoothed out the drones’ flight and were practicing landing on tables. The mere mention of an app for a phone had the students figuring that out too. “These girls were the first to do it,” Mann said. “[Zoey Fields] has her own phone connected to the controller and she can see what the drone sees. She can record. They are doing real time video and photos now.” Mann said the girls showed the guys how to use the app to see what the drones see. It gave the students a chance to see if the drone could keep up with students trying to outrun it. When Fields was at the controls, she rarely looked up as she was concentrating on the screen of her phone and what the drone was seeing. Fields even flew the drone up to a table where she was seated to take a photo of her, Jada Simmons and Katey Tucker. “This is fun,” Fields said. “My drone at home is similar. I don’t use it because it needs an update and I haven’t figured out how to.” Fields may not have her personal drone figured out yet, but Mann said he is constantly learning from the younger students. “I wished they were around when I was learning,” Mann said. “I was amazed at the speed they were able to do this. It’s not the first time they have downloaded software.” But the week is not spent just flying drones. The drones help cover electronics as does the robotics lab. There is also manufacturing, machining and welding. “They do a half a day in one discipline, then a half a day in another and so on,” Mann said. Mann said the camp will generate the interest for the students to now start studying the science, technology, engineering and math behind the labs from the week like flying the drones. “We want them to see what some of the possibilities are,” Mann said. “When the students see what can be done, they see the reason behind the classes. We want to see more students involved in STEM careers.”

Children and adults participate in the Eclectic Public Library’s Summer Reading Program at the Eclectic Warehouse.The month-long program is designed to encourage students to continue reading and learning during the summer break from school.
Eclectic summer reading program splashes off for week two By LARRY ROBINSON Staff writer Dive into a hardback to explore an ocean of possibilities with the return of the Eclectic summer reading program held weekly at the Eclectic Warehouse directly across the street from the Eclectic Public Library on Main Street. The annual community program pushes kids in the area ages five to 13 to step outside the comfort of their summer and immerse themselves into another reality by cracking open a book and continue learning while school is out of session. Each week, the reading program hosts a guest speaker to teach the kids an important life lesson that they will use as they continue to learn and grow.
Betty Coker, librarian at Eclectic Public Library and host of the reading program, hopes that the kids will take time away from their devices and will instead try to learn more about their community and begin a love for reading. A love that Coker has had for many years. “If you want to lead, you got to read,” Coker said. “All my friends are playing cards and at the movie today, and I think this is more important.” The June 14 meeting landed directly on National Flag Day, with kids getting the opportunity to wave around American flags while singing favorite patriotic tunes of God Bless America and You’re a Grand Old Flag. Coker’s weekly ukulele students make a surprise appearance to play the background strings for the songs as the kids harmonized
along. “We’re preserving history for the next generation by having Flag Day and a love for patriotism,” Coker said. The speaker for June 14 was a former water patrolman and a previous student of Coker’s when she was a teacher, Chad Middlebrooks, who taught children how important life jackets are and how to help save a person who is going under water with the threestep reach, throw and go technique. Middlebrooks had the children run a two-line relay race where they would reach, throw and go to help bolster the lesson in their memories with a fun and physically engaging activity. Streaking by with loose lifejackets and grins stretched across their faces, the children Middlebrooks
taught showed that learning and having some fun at the same time was a success. The kids then got to make their own bracelets with beads and wire to mimic pearls from a clam, even being handed folded plates with blue or pink paint to imitate the look of a live clam. “Kids these days spend too much time on their screen, on their phones, on their video games and they need to get out and be kids like I was a kid,” said Michele Autry, with her son at her side. “Go out and do things and get in books, as Ms. Coker said, if you don’t read you don’t lead, and we’re building up leaders for tomorrow. I want to give them all the opportunities and tools to be great citizens for tomorrow.” With their new accessories
on their wrists, snack time was the final mission as gummies, crackers and Capri Suns were on the menu for the kids as they finished their art projects and the program began to wind down. Kids then had the chance to take home any books for free that they may be interested in, with books separated by age groups for different reading levels, along with a flag to celebrate Flag Day. The reading program has only one week left for the 2022 summer on June 28 at 2 p.m. in the Eclectic Warehouse. The kids got a visit from the Elmore County High School fishing team last week. Any questions should be directed to the Eclectic Public Library at 334-6394727.
