explained the scholarship is available for those majoring in art and planning a career in art. Fain said Davis fit the bill being interested in advancing her love of anime and wanting to eventually open an animation studio. “She really wants to pursue an art degree and get her masters,” Fain said. “I think she will be really successful.” Fain said the scholarship committee looks at transcripts, ACT and SAT scores, reference letters and a portfolio. “When I think about a portfolio, I think about someone opening a case and handing me pictures,” Fain said. “I learned they take pictures and email
them to me or send them to me on whatever. I have learned a lot about that.” Fain said the application requests answers several questions including something the applicant has overcome. Fain said she was impressed with what Davis went through during the COVID19 pandemic. Fain said Davis was sent home to quarantine after coming into contact with a positive case. Davis’ mother was deployed so she stayed with her grandmother. “There was only one working computer which was her grandmother’s,” Fain said. “She said, ‘I could not risk exposing my grandmother. She is frail and has a walker. I couldn’t take the risk.’” Much of the school work was missed as Davis didn’t

County. “We work with a lot of the foster kids,” Smith said. “Most of them are on Medicaid. Wetumpka Pediatrics is a licensed rural health clinic. They take primarily Medicaid. We see about 85 percent of the kids in foster care in Elmore County.” Smith said Ivy Creek works closely with the Elmore County Department of Human Resources and understands the need when children are removed quickly from a home for their protection. Smith believes the suitcases will help children caught in those situations realize they are loved. “They come in having their few things in torn up bags, some are smoke-ridden,” Smith said. “It’s so they would have something nice to put their things in when they go to a foster home.” Originally Smith said the goal was to collect 100 suitcases themed for children with Batman, Superman, princesses and nice, simple suitcases for teenagers, all with wheels. “We want them to be age-appropriate,” Smith

[Davis] said, ‘I did every extra credit assignment I could manage. I made up every test, evey project and worksheet I could and finished upcoming assignments at the same time. My grades improved. I ended the year with the highest comeback grade in the junior class.’” Davis would go on to get an invitation to the National Honor Society according to Fain. And Fain believes Davis was the correct selection for the Sylvia McConnell Memorial Scholarship. “She is just a great kid, hard worker,” Fain said. “I think she is very deserving.”
said. “It seemed like a huge goal to start with but I think we will pass it. They will be put in storage at DHR so they will be there when the kids come into foster care.” Smith said Ivy Creek is accepting the donation of new suitcases at the Elmore County Hospital in the marketing department where a form will need to be filled out. From there the suitcases will be transported to the Elmore County DHR where children will be allowed to pick out a new case upon entering the foster system. While the public is helping with donations, Smith said the departments of Ivy Creek are working on donations as well. Smith said they want to complete the project by the end of August. The Caring Cases is not the only project Ivy Creek has for the children in foster care. The hospital has Ivy’s Closet where a foster parent with a new foster child can pick out clothing free of charge. “We also adopt the children in foster care for Christmas,” Smith said. “More recently we raised money to get each foster parent in Elmore County a $30 gas card.”

Folmar Art Gallery, located at 1018 Madison Avenue, Montgomery, Alabama, will open on July 1 and close on July 28. A reception will be held on Thursday, July 7, from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. The exhibit is open to all artists 18 and older who are members of the Elmore County Art Guild. Participants may join at the time of take-in. Take-in will be Thursday, June 30, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Guild membership is $35 per calendar year or $45 for couples. Original artwork completed by the artist will be accepted. Copies of other’s artwork will not be accepted. Artwork must not have been shown in previous ECAG exhibitions. Up to four pieces of artwork will be accepted. Take-down of art will take place on Thursday, July 28, 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. The Arts Council of Montgomery will collect a 25 percent commission plus 10 percent sales tax on the sale of all artwork sold.

The good news is we could also see a third straight week of decline,” said Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy. “While prices will be at their highest July 4th level ever, they’ll have fallen close to 20 cents since our peak in early June. Motorists should be wary that while the decline could continue for the week ahead, any sudden jolts to supply could quickly cause a turnaround, and risk remains that when the peak of hurricane season arrives, we could see a super spike at the pump.” GasBuddy is a voice for gas prices and the only 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.

he 1970 Governor’s Race between George Wallace and Albert Brewer overshadowed every other political race in the state that year. However, one of Alabama’s legendary political figures burst on the scene in 1970, when Bill Baxley was elected Attorney General of Alabama. The Attorney General’s race was below the radar screen of the titanic war waged by Brewer and Wallace. Bill Baxley’s victory was a major upset. Baxley was a 28-year-old district attorney from the Wiregrass. He beat a veteran Attorney General MacDonald Gallion in a close race. Baxley became the youngest Attorney General in the nation when he was sworn in at the January Inauguration. He had just turned 29. His historic rise at such a young age made him fodder for national publications like Time Magazine, who featured him as one of the brightest rising stars in the nation. His brilliance gave new meaning to the word prodigy. It was not immediately apparent to the voters of Alabama that they had elected a true progressive liberal as their Attorney General. They soon did when Baxley began aggressively attacking the Big Mules in Birmingham and throughout the state and consistently fought for the downtrodden in the state. He sued every Big Mule in sight, including U.S. Steel, for pollution and other environmental concerns during his 20-year career in state politics. Baxley never deviated or backed down from his progressive Democratic ideology, even when it might have been politically expedient to do so. He could not be bought. He was his own man and a true Alabama political statesman. When Baxley won the 1970 Attorney General’s race over MacDonald Gallion, he openly and unashamedly courted liberals, labor and blacks to win

Republicans no longer need to fear Trump
T
rump’s hold of the party has significantly declined. His prior claims of a strong endorsement record are highly inflated. Members of the GOP who stopped his coup attempt are testifying rather convincingly before Congress. Candidates who stand up to him win more often. And he’s slipping to second place in primary polls. When Trump burst on to the scene, he caught the old guard of Jeb Bush Republicans napping. In the crowded primary, he could win 33% of the vote, and get all of the delegates against some underwhelming competition. Ever since then, he’s sought hegemony over the Republican Party. Most were scared to cross him; those who did saw their careers end. Not so today, especially after the January 6 insurrection. Members of the GOP are now standing up to Trump. That’s perhaps why Trump’s endorsement record is so important to him, as it provides the illusion of control. Back in 2020, when he bragged that his endorsement record was “88-2,” I did a little digging. It turned out that in many cases, the person he endorsed ran unopposed or faced a littleknown or lightly-funded opponent. When Trump’s pick faced a real

The Department will engage in a separate rulemaking to address Title IX’s application to athletics. The Department’s comprehensive review of its Title IX regulations began in March 2021, as directed by Executive Order 14021 – Guaranteeing an Educational Environment Free From Discrimination on the Basis of Sex, Including Sexual Orientation or Gender Identity. The U.S. Department of Education has sought public input throughout that process.
Pets of the Week – Bayou, Boudreaux, Cajun & Crawfish
Over the last year, it has heard from a wide variety of stakeholders, including students, parents, and educators in elementary, secondary, and postsecondary schools, state government representatives, advocates, lawyers, researchers, and other stakeholders through the Title IX nationwide virtual public hearing in June 2021 convened by the Office for Civil Rights (OCR) and in numerous listening sessions and meetings. This input, together with careful review of federal case law and OCR’s enforcement work under Title IX, highlighted the need to revise the current regulations to protect more fully against sex discrimination in all education programs and activities receiving federal financial assistance. “The proposed regulations reflect the department’s commitment to give full effect to Title IX, ensuring that no person experiences sex discrimination in education,
and that school procedures for addressing complaints of sex discrimination, including sexual violence and other forms of sex-based harassment, are clear, effective, and fair to all involved,” said Catherine E. Lhamon,
Assistant Secretary for Civil Rights. The department’s proposed Title IX regulations will be open for public comment for 60 days from the date of publication in the Federal Register.

JulY 4 Word Find
Independence Day is celebrated in the United States each year on July 4; as a result, the holiday is called the Fourth of July. Most Americans have a holiday from work or school. Fireworks are set off in many towns and cities to mark the occasion, and parties and picnics are common. On July 4, 1776, the Founding Fathers of the United States of America signed the Declaration of Independence declaring that the 13 colonies were an independent nation free from control by the British Government. These 13 original colonies (which are now states) were Virginia, New Jersey, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, New York, Maryland, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Delaware, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia. The colonists wanted freedom from laws passed by the English Government which they felt were unfair, especially tax laws. Revolting against a tax on tea, a group of colonists known as the “Sons of Liberty” disguised themselves as Native Americans and threw around 350 crates of tea from three British East India Company ships into Boston Harbor in December 1773. This act is known as the Boston Tea Party. The British Government responded to the revolt by passing laws that increased royal control. The colonies rallied together, and a colonial committee decided to convene the First Continental Congress in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in September 1774. The first Congress demanded that Britain repeal all of the unfair laws they had passed since 1763, and they called for a colonial boycott of British goods. The Revolutionary War began on April 19, 1775, and ended in victory for the United States with the Peace of Paris Treaty which was signed on September 3, 1783.

that followed, Jesus asked the disciples why they were afraid, and why they had no faith. The disciples were even more terrified by Jesus’ power to control the wind and sea. (See Mark 4:35-41.) On another occasion, Jesus was in Bethany at the home of Mary, Martha and Lazarus. That story is in Luke 10:3842. Mary sat at Jesus’ feet and listened to his teaching. But Martha was distracted with the task of serving. She came to Jesus and asked, “Lord, do you not care that my sister has left me to serve alone? Tell her to help me.” Jesus acknowledged Martha’s anxiety, but said Mary had made a better choice when she sat down to listen to him. Are we ever like those ancient disciples? They

believed in Jesus. They trusted him. They followed him when it was not a popular or safe thing to do. But when overwhelming trouble came, they wondered out loud, expressing some doubt about Jesus’ care for them. How about us? Do we ever through fear or flawed vision question the Lord’s interest in us? When circumstances discourage us, do we dare doubt his concern? These people were eyewitnesses of Jesus’ great power and compassion. But when they were scared or their feelings were hurt, they questioned the Lord’s care for them. We are not “eyewitnesses of his majesty,” as Peter described the disciples’ experience in 2 Peter 1:16. We are among those blessed ones
“who have not seen and yet have believed” (John 20:29). But we trust that our High Priest can “sympathize with our weaknesses” (Hebrews 4:15). We rejoice in this invitation: “casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you” (1 Peter 5:7). In deep trouble, it’s not unusual to feel like David did when he said, “No one cares for my soul” (Psalm 142:4). But let’s strive to never accuse the One who died that we might live of not caring about us. Don’t you know the memory of “I am with you always” must have encouraged the apostles? The same Lord has promised us, “I will never leave you nor forsake you” (Hebrews 13:5). You can trust Jesus. He does care.

Former Wetumpka baseball star Seth Johnson transfers to Harding University By DALTON MIDDLETON Sports Editor A former Wetumpka baseball star is changing college baseball teams. Seth Johnson, a former Wetumpka standout and the 2019 Elmore County Baseball Player of the Year, is transferring from Troy University to play baseball at Harding University in Arkansas.
Johnson signed with Troy out of high school when he graduated in the spring of 2020. At Troy, the 6-foot-6 outfielder found success in limited action. In 88 at bats spanning across 38 games in two years, Johnson hit .239 with five doubles, one triple, two home runs and 10 RBIs. At Wetumpka, Johnson was a three-sport athlete in
baseball, football and basketball. He had a stellar career in baseball, earning numerous honors for his play. During his 2019 season when he won the Elmore County Player of the Year, Johnson hit .460 with eight home runs and 26 doubles. His 26 doubles ranked him ninth in AHSAA history for doubles in a season. While he shined in the
lineup, he also shined on the mound. He was the Indians’ No. 1 on the mound and finished the season with an 8-3 record and 61 strikeouts in 54 2/3 innings. Johnson then returned for his senior season but it was cut short due to COVID-19. Despite the short season, Johnson hit .394 with a .574 on base percentage and two home runs.
Now with the move to Harding University, Johnson looks to make an instant impact with the Bison. Harding, which is a NCAA Division II school that participates in the Great American Conference, had a successful season in 2022. The Bison went 32-19 with a 21-12 conference record, See JOHNSON, Page B2

Bill Clark, the head football coach at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, announced his retirement on Friday morning. It is effective August 1, 2022. Clark, a native of Anniston, Alabama, has been on the UAB coaching staff for eight seasons and has been the head coach for the last six years. Clark, who turns 54 this week, led the Blazers to a 49-26 overall record in six seasons while also leading the team to two Conference USA championships and two bowl game victories, the first two in program history. Clark earned many accolades as the head coach of the Blazers. He was named the Eddie Robinson National Coach of the Year in 2018 after leading UAB to an 11-3 overall record and the program’s first Conference USA Championship and bowl game victory. He also earned the 2017 Conference USA Coach of the Year and the 2017 and 2018 CBS Sports National Coach of the Year. He helped UAB win three-straight Conference USA West Division titles from 2018-2020. Clark isn’t just known for his coaching at UAB. Before he took over in Birmingham, he spent stints at Jacksonville State, South Alabama and Prattville high school. Prior to taking over at UAB, he was the head coach of Jacksonville State, his alma mater. He led the Gamecocks to an 11-4 record in 2013, their most victories since 1992. That number set an Ohio Valley Conference record for the most wins by a first-year head coach. His Gamecocks won two postseason games, the first-two postseason wins in school history as they finished the season ranked No. 10 in the final FCS rankings. Before Jacksonville State, Clark was South Alabama’s defensive coordinator for five seasons. Before that, however, he made Prattville high school into a powerhouse high school football team. He was head coach of the Prattville Lions from 1999 to 2007, and he led the team to a whopping 106-11 overall record and two state championships in that time. Clark never had more than three losses in any of his seasons at Prattville, and he had one or less in six of his last seven seasons. His last two high school teams in 2006 and 2007 each went 15-0 and won the AHSAA Class 6A state championship. He did not lost a regular season game in any of his last five seasons as head coach. He earned multiple Coach of the Year accolades during his last few seasons at Prattville.
No. 14 Auburn’s season ends with College World Series loss to Arkansas By JEFF SHEARER Auburn Athletics
GRAYSON BELANGER | AUBURN ATHLETICS
Auburn’s season came to an end after two losses to Arkansas and Ole Miss in the College World Series in Omaha, Nebraska.The Tigers finished the year 43-22.
Picked to finish seventh in the SEC West, the 2022 Auburn Tigers finished tied for fifth nationally, ending their season at the College World Series Tuesday with an 11-1 loss to Arkansas at Charles Schwab Field. “I didn’t want this ride to end,” Auburn coach Butch Thompson said. “Hopefully we’ve stair-stepped this program to keep fighting and having a feeling that the best is yet to come.” Bobby Peirce led off the bottom of the seventh with his 10th home run of the season for Auburn’s only run. Peirce, the Tigers’ right fielder, also delivered Auburn’s defensive highlight in the eighth throwing out a runner trying to advance from first to third on a single. See AUBURN, Page B2

as I can break.” Weighall suffers from an inherited neuromuscular disorder called Myotonia congenita. Myotonia congenita affects the muscles used for movement and can
be characterized by the inability of muscles to quickly relax after a voluntary contraction. Both Grant and his brother, Logan, have the disorder and both are on the Wetumpka football team while Grant is on the Track and Field team as well. The Weighalls have spent some time with some neurologists who diagnosed him with it, and the family decided to go the Paralympics route to see if Grant
could compete against other athletes with challenges like his. “This is just the start,” Weighall said. “I think I’m coming a long way from here. I’m really excited for what awaits for me. It’s amazing. I can’t really explain in words how amazing this is. The people who got me here and my coaches and the people who put on this celebration for me is just a blessing.”

earning them the No. 3 seed following the regulars season. They went 1-2 in the GAC conference tournament. Harding University is led by head coach Patrick McGaha, who is in his 17th year as the head coach at Harding. He has a 440355 overall record and has led the Bison to 10 conference tournament appearances and one NCAA Tournament appearance. He is the longest tenured coach in the GAC.
AUBURN
Continued from B1
Arkansas, which outhit Auburn 16-4, grabbed a 1-0 lead in the top of the first after a leadoff double and an RBI single from the Razorbacks’ first two batters. Auburn starter Mason Barnett (3-3) struck out four batters in the first two innings but ran into trouble in the third when a ball lost in the sun in left field gave the Razorbacks a baserunner and an extra out. Arkansas capitalized to take a 4-0 lead on Chris Lanzilli’s RBI single and Robert Moore’s two-run double, ending Barnett’s outing. John Armstrong recorded the final out of the third but struggled in the fourth, allowing
a two-run double to Michael Turner and Lanzilli’s two-run homer that put Arkansas on top 8-0, with seven of those runs coming with two outs. Auburn hitters struggled against Arkansas starter Will McEntire, who faced the minimum through three innings, striking out six consecutive Tigers in the process. McEntire (2-2) struck out nine in seven innings, allowing one run on three hits. “Down the stretch we had to tip our hat to too many starting pitchers,” Thompson said. “They just kept putting the ball in play and good things happened while we were still trying to put the bat on the ball.” Sonny DiChiara’s fourth-inning single represented Auburn’s first hit, but the Tigers were unable to mount
their 23rd comeback win of the season. The SEC Co-Player of the Year recorded two of Auburn’s four hits, finishing the season with a .383 batting average. Senior Carson Skipper relieved Armstrong in the fourth and retired the first six Razorbacks he faced before back-to-back two-out hits in the sixth extended the Arkansas lead to 9-0. “It’s an incredible feeling to come to a place of such joy and happiness to the whole college baseball world more than one time,” said Skipper, a freshman on Auburn’s 2019 CWS team. “All that stems from Coach Thompson; great leader, great man, along with all of the other coaches and staff members. Everybody from top to bottom has made such an impact on
me.” The Razorbacks added two more runs in the ninth. Arkansas scored 10 of its 11 runs with two outs. Chase Isbell, Chase Allsup, Carson Swilling and Brooks Fuller finished the game for the Tigers. Auburn pitchers struck out 13, reaching double digits in all three games at the 2022 CWS. Arkansas (45-20) advances to play Ole Miss Wednesday, needing to beat the Rebels twice to reach the championship series. Four of the last five teams competing in Omaha hailed from the SEC West. Auburn (43-22) concludes a memorable season that saw the Tigers post a winning SEC record (16-13), host an NCAA regional for the first time since 2010, win a regional at
home for the first time since 1999, win the Corvallis Super Regional, and win a College World Series game for the first time in 25 years. “You can look at pen to paper from the time we’ve been here to this second and see some growth,” said Thompson, completing his seventh season on the Plains. “I absolutely think we are on the cusp of doing amazing things consistently. That’ll be the driving force, trying to leave this program in a better place. “It was a great experience for every one of us. We found a ton of positives out of this season. Our people stepped up to the plate for this team before we ever played a game and I’ll never forget that. I thought we returned the favor at the end of the postseason.”

PUZZLES & HOROSCOPE ARIES (March 21-April 19) Pay attention to everything you say and do today to avoid accidents at home. Possibly, these accidents are verbal. You might blurt out something that you later regret. Meanwhile, small appliances might break down or a minor breakage might occur. Be mindful. Tonight: Focus on home and family. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) This is denitely an accident-prone day for your sign, which means you have to keep your eyes open. Pay attention to everything you say and do, especially when walking, jogging or driving. On the upside, you will have some novel, original ideas. Tonight: You have something to say. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Keep an eye on your money scene today, because something unexpected could impact your nances. It could be minor; it could be major. You might nd money; you might lose money. Be smart and protect your possessions against loss, theft or damage. Tonight: Ponder your values. What really matters? CANCER (June 21-July 22) Today the Moon is in your sign dancing with Uranus. This will stir up feelings of independence and self-reliance within you. There will be lots of energy in the air, and you will be inclined to act on your impulses. New ideas, new situations and new faces are likely. Tonight: Go after what you want. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) This is a restless day for you because the Moon is hiding in your chart, while at the same time, being stimulated by electric Uranus! This is why you might feel mildly anxious about something and not know why. Don’t worry about this, because it’s temporary. It will be gone in 24 hours. Tonight: Seek out solitude. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) This is a classic day to make a new friend or meet someone in a group situation. This new encounter might be exciting and stimulating, because very likely, the person you meet will be different in some way. In fact, it is this very difference that attracts you. Tonight: Reassuring encounters with others.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You might be surprised by a boss, parent or someone in a position of authority today. (Busted!) On the upside, positive news might come your way from on high. Opportunities related to higher education, the law, medicine, the media and publishing are blessed right now. Tonight: You are admired. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Travel plans are completely unpredictable today. You might suddenly have to travel or, alternatively, planned travel might be interrupted or canceled. You might meet someone today who is unusual. Perhaps you will learn something new from them. Tonight: Explore! SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Keep an eye on issues related to shared property, banking, taxes, debt and inheritances, because something unexpected could impact these areas. When it comes to money or shared wealth, it’s wise to know what’s happening. A stitch in time and all that. Tonight: Check your assets. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Today someone close to you, perhaps a partner, spouse or friend, might throw a curveball your way. Something unexpected will happen. They might make an unusual suggestion or demand, or perhaps they will do something that surprises you. Possibly, you will meet someone new who is “different.” Tonight: Listen. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Your work routine will be interrupted today -- almost certainly. Equipment breakdowns, computer snafus, mixed-up messages, staff shortages and power outages are just some things that might surprise you. Perhaps someone has unusual news. (Check on your pet.) Tonight: Work. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Parents should take note that this is an accident-prone day for your kids, so be extra vigilant. Social plans might suddenly change. Ditto for sports events. For example, you might receive a surprise invitation or, by contrast, social plans might suddenly be canceled. Romance also might hold some unexpected surprises. Tonight: Play!
