Veteran’s day lineup announced By CARMEN RODGERS BUREAU CHIEF Coordinators with the 2021 Veterans Day programs for Wetumpka have announced this year’s lineup. Veteran’s Day tributes will begin at 9 a.m. when Wetumpka Fire Department will park the ladder truck in front of Trinity Episcopal Church, at 5375 US Hwy 231 S., displaying a very large United States Flag over Hwy 231 throughout the day. Beginning at 11 a.m. VFW Post 4572 Auxiliary and Pack 50 will hold their annual dedication by placing US Flags on the graves of service members with a

recognition program at Pineview Cemetery on US Hwy 111. Starting at noon, VFW Post 4572 will host a lunch at the post, which is located at 100 Otter Track Road. Beginning at 1:30 p.m. Boy Scouts Troop 50 will assemble at Trinity Episcopal Church to prepare for the Veterans Day program. At 2 p.m. there will be a program to present flags where SFC Leon R. Brasington will be recognized with the presentation of an American Flag this year. SFC Brasington resides in Wetumpka, with his wife Jan. SFC Brasington served in the US Army as a UH-1 Huey

helicopter crew chief during the Vietnam War and returned to serve in the Alabama Army National Guard in his beloved unit the 1133rd Medical Company (AA). He also served in an OH-6 and OH -58 A/C Target Acquisition and Reconnaissance (TARC) unit. He retired from the Alabama National Guard. Today he still gives of himself weekly by riding in the Patriot Guard to honor service members during funeral details. Boatswain’s Mate First Class (BM1) William F.

and Rescue from Coast Guard Base in Mobile. In 1975, he taught Aids to Navigation at the School in Yorktown, VA. Cody’s wife Lin will be presented with an Alabama Flag, which was once flown over the Alabama State Capital. Cody began as a riverboat captain on the Mississippi River and then later joined the US Coast Guard. He was related to Buffalo Bill Cody of the Wild West Show. His great-grandfather’s brother was Buffalo Bill Cody. His family had numerous family members who served in several branches and today his grandson is assigned to the Alabama Army National Guard in Montgomery.

Final Art Walk of 2021 set for Nov. 5 By CARMEN RODGERS BUREAU CHIEF The final Art Walk of 2021 is set for this Friday, Nov. 5 from 4-8 p.m. in downtown Wetumpka’s art and entertainment district. The first Art Walk was held in April. It has quickly become a popular local event. The Art Walk is a collaboration of handpicked talented artists who will come together to create a unique art show and sale in the heart of downtown Wetumpka. Don Sawyer, a seasoned artist with deep ties to the Wetumpka community, is the brainchild behind the Art Walk and his hope is that this will become a destination for Wetumpka residents as well as tourists from around the region. The Art Walk will encompass an eclectic array of artistic media, and, perhaps, some arts for the ears. This event is free to the public. To raise funds, coordinators will be raffling off select pieces of artwork to those who attend the Art Walk.

With Thanksgiving and the holidays approaching, the American Red Cross urges donors to continue to make and keep appointments now and in the weeks ahead to help overcome the ongoing emergency blood and platelet shortage that has significantly impacted the nation’s blood supply. In fact, the current blood supply is the lowest the Red Cross has seen this time of year in more than a decade. Since declaring an emergency need for donors last month, thousands of people have come to Red Cross blood drives across the country to roll up a sleeve and help patients who are counting on lifesaving transfusions. The Red Cross is incredibly grateful for the kindness and generosity of these blood and platelet donors, but hospital demand remains strong. At least 10,000 more donations are needed each week in the coming weeks to meet patient needs – ahead of the upcoming holiday season, which always presents seasonal challenges to blood collection. In honor of the new se-

ries, I Know What You Did Last Summer, those who give blood between Monday, Nov. 1, and Friday, Nov. 12, will automatically be entered to win a trip for two to Hawaii, courtesy of Amazon Prime Video. The trip will transport you to where the series was filmed and includes round-trip airfare for two, hotel accommodations for nine nights, meals, $1,000 gift card for expenses and ontrip transportation with tour stops from Honolulu to Maui. Plus, those who come to donate Nov. 1-23 will receive a $10 Amazon.com Gift Card by email, thanks to Amazon.

Each Red Cross blood drive and donation center follows the highest standards of safety and infection control, and additional precautions – including face masks for donors and staff, regardless of vaccination status – have been implemented to help protect the health of all those in attendance. Donors are asked to schedule an appointment prior to arriving at the drive. Donors are urged to schedule an appointment now by using the Red Cross Blood Donor App, visiting RedCrossBlood. org or calling 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-7332767).

Dinner on the ground This originally appeared in the TALLASSEE TRIBUNE in December 2012.

t’s been many years ago now, but once upon a time, I taught at Zion Chapel High School in Jack, Alabama. We had a great 1A (now 2A) school. As I look back on those years, the only adjective I can use to describe the place is “sweet”. While the band director job had been notoriously unstable, the faculty was filled with veteran teachers, many of whom had spent their entire careers there. One of my co-workers once said, “we’re closer than family,” but added with a warning, “and that’s sometimes too close.” This proved to be true, as there were a couple of teachers I’d heard were once best friends. They did everything together. But somewhere along the way, some marriages broke up and some harsh words were spoken, and for about two decades these ladies had been on opposite ends of the faculty spectrum, with pro- and con- camps on both sides. Enter L. Wayne Vickers – now

MICHAEL BIRD Columnist Superintendent of Alabaster City Schools in Shelby County. Dr. Vickers had been in the State Department of Education in Kentucky before coming to Jack, but he immediately identified our school’s strengths and weaknesses and set us on a new path. For Christmas his first year, he announced that we would be having dinner on the ground, church style, at the home of our secretary/bookkeeper. The faculty grumbled aloud at the meeting, as Dr. Vickers explained that if we wanted to be paid, we had to bring a potluck dish and dine with the faculty. After a short meeting and the dinner, we’d be paid and we could go. As that school dismissal day approached, excitement gathered

as some of our staff left to prepare dining tables in our secretary’s garage. When the students were gone and the faculty made its way to her house, it was quiet at first. The home economics teacher, whose recently deceased husband had been a pastor, found the piano right away. A hymnal was opened. The ag teacher (sadly, since then, also deceased) turned to a page in the hymnal. Soon, these two were harmonizing on some old gospel songs. Before long, the whole faculty was gathered around the piano singing hymns together. I even saw those old frenemies swaying back and forth as they lifted their voices in song. Something changed that day for our school and for our teachers. The food and the music brought us together. Dr. Vickers knew it would work. And I don’t know if he remembers setting up that gathering, but I am thankful for experiences like these that only come from working with great people. Michael Bird is a music teacher for Tallassee City Schools.

Unseen friends

ake the interstate exit and follow the pavement to the rural route. Go past the fields of autumnal cotton, past the lopsided trailer homes sitting in fields of blond stubble, past the abandoned filling station, and soon you will find the little town. You’ll see the hi-welcome-to-ourcity-sign, covered with smatterings of tin badges for the Lion’s Club, Kiwanis, Rotary, and the all-you-can-eat catfish joint. You’ll see the feed and seed, the vacant downtown storefronts Walmart killed, and finally you’ll see the little white dog trot house. Well, at least it used to be white. Today it’s more mildew colored. In the overgrown yard are the remains of ancient outdoor Playskool toys that predate the Carter administration, and the bones of a rusted swing set that went to be with Jesus a long time ago. Elderly Martha was standing on her porch waiting for me when I pulled up. Martha is not her real name, but it will have to do. She speaks with an accent that’s thicker than pancake batter. She raised her family here. She retired here. “I used to work at mill,” she told me. “I was the nurse lady who bandaged people who got hurt.” She poured two mugs of coffee. Weak coffee. The brew was the color of iced tea. It was the kind of coffee many old-timers often drink. I once asked an elderly guy why old people made their coffee so weak. The returning answer was: “So we can drink it all day long.” Case closed. The woman sat at her kitchen table, staring into her mug of brown water, and told the inexperienced writer across from her the story that brought him here. Her story took place in the winter. She remembers it vividly. The tree branches were naked, the sun was setting. She was leaving the mill after

a very long workday. “My mama lived with us at the time,” she said. “Mama was dying, me and my sister was taking care of her, swapping shifts.” The woman pointed to the back bedroom. The room was now filled with mile-high stacks of old newspapers and empty glass bottles. The word “hoarder” came to mind. “Mama lived right back there,” she said. That evening, long ago, Martha had a little free time after work. Her sister was caring for her mother that day, so Martha headed for the nearest big-city mall to return a new dress she bought. She’d purchased the dress to wear at a friend’s wedding, but it was too small. “I always did have big hips,” Martha added. She was driving on a vacant highway, listening to the radio, when she saw a young girl walking on the shoulder. The girl was barefoot. Call it the mother in her; call it the unquenchable Methodist instinct, Martha pulled over. The young woman was dressed in a ragged floral print dress and looked as though she’d fallen on hard times. Martha knew all about hard times. “I asked if she needed a ride.” The girl hopped in. Soon, they were driving through cotton fields and rows of soybeans when the young woman looked at Martha and, without preamble, said in a monotone voice: “You’d better get home, Martha.” Martha just looked at her. “Your mother,” the girl went on, “she doesn’t have long. You’d better get home soon.” Martha stared at her young passenger and almost slammed the brakes. There was something in the way the young woman said these words. Something in her voice. In a few moments, the girl pointed through the windshield and asked to be let out.

SEAN DIETRICH Columnist Martha pulled onto the shoulder. The young woman spoke for the final time. “Go home to your mother. She needs you.” Martha’s skin became gooseflesh. She aimed her car toward home and when she pulled into her driveway she was greeted by her sister who was standing in the front yard, waving her hands in the glow of the high beams. “Mama can’t breathe,” shouted her sister. “I think it’s happening. I think she’s dying.” Martha raced inside, jogging past the lopsided swingset and faded Playskool toys. And the night that followed was a long one. It was an evening spent sitting in a chair, perched beside her mother’s bed. Her mother was gone by morning. Martha believes she would have missed her mother’s final few moments of consciousness had it not been for that strange girl. “I never saw that girl before,” Martha told me, topping off my translucent coffee. “I asked ever’body about her, but ain’t nobody believe me. That’s why I don’t tell nobody this story no more, ‘cause they all look at me like I’m crazy. But you don’t think I’m crazy, do you?” I smiled at her. Crazy, no. A chronic hoarder, most certainly. After our interview, I drove out of town, past the feed and seed, past the abandoned storefronts, the oneroom insurance office buildings, past the quintessential American water tower. And I tried to envision a young woman walking barefoot along the highway. I could swear I almost saw her. But then again, that might just be the coffee talking.

Annual cleanup coming this weekend By CLIFF WILLIAMS Staff Writer One week remains until the annual Renew Our Rivers cleanup on Lake Martin but John Thompson is already at work. While Thompson and a small group of volunteers with the Lake Martin Resource Association (LMRA) are doing what they can to make next week’s cleanup on the shoreline of Lake Martin as easy as possible, tut took a break to clean up the scenic stop on Hillabee Creek at Highway 22 yet again. “Alabama Power is going to close it this time,” Thompson said. “I talked to them Tuesday. They said, ‘If you are going to clean it, you better do it now.’” Last August volunteers cleaned up the spot, a favorite of those who don’t have lakefront property. LMRA volunteer Barbara Sokol was one of the volunteers along with her children and grandchildren. It’s a spot familiar to the Alexander City resident. “I brought my kids out here,” Sokol said. “When they got bigger we would float.” Sokol said people take access to spots such as Hilliabee for granted. “I was around when Rus-

sell started to develop,” Sokol said. “People were so worried they wouldn’t have access to the lake. The city and county made the different boats and other access points. This is a whole generation that hasn’t taken care of this. They just assume they will always have access but property owners can only take so much of this litter before they do something. The area was spotless 14 months ago. This week the volunteers removed almost as much litter as before plus a couch and damaged boat. Thompson said the volunteers got to the litter just in time. “I’m thinking [Alabama Power] will come in here in the next day or two and berm it off,” Thompson said. “It was bad. It was as bad as I have

ever seen it.” Thompson said it is shame a few people who are littering are messing up everybody’s access to the water. “What a beautiful scenic area that is within easy reach, yet this is going on,” Thompson said. “I think there is a lot going on down here and people just aren’t picking up after themselves.” Access to Hillabee Creek at Highway 22 may now be closed but if behaviors don’t change, access may change to other access points to the water. “They might start blocking off more and more if people don’t clean up after themselves,” Thompson said. “It’s a shame. Property owners, in this case Alabama Power, are

letting the public have access but the public is leaving behind all this trash.” Through the original permitting of Lake Martin, Alabama Power owns much of the shoreline property surrounding Lake Martin. In the past, the company has allowed public access to the water but has started limiting or closing access when the public damages or doesn’t clean up the property. After cleaning up Hillabee, the volunteers return to planning to remove litter from the shores of Lake Martin for the annual cleanup. For more than 10 years LMRA has been leading the charge on Lake Martin with Alabama Power’s Renew Our Rivers with an annual cleanup as the water is drawn down. The lower water provides easier access to litter and trash sometimes washed into the lake and against the nearly 800 miles of shoreline to be picked up. Some litter pick up has already occurred such as at Hillabee Creek, but on Nov. 5 and 6 everyone will have a chance to help cleanup the area around Lake Martin.

Thanksgiving is a lot closer than you think and if you are a pet owner with travel plans, we certainly hope you have made arrangements for your pet’s care as most kennels and veterinarians are likely booking up fast. We bring this up as we take far too many reports after holidays of missing pets while someone else was supposed to be caring for it. In many instances the owner was never even told and only found out upon their return. When you are entrusting your pet’s care to someone else, please make sure they not only care about your pet, but that they are reliable and can reach you in the event of an emergency. So how can you best prepare if you are leaving your pets to the care of a family member, friend or sitter at home. To help keep your pet safe at home with a pet sitter, leave printed instructions for your pet’s care and emergency contact info for you or someone else if you will be out of contact. Ensure your pet sitter knows how to contact your Veterinarian and that you have worked out any potential emergency veterinary payment is-

sues with your pet sitter or your Vet. Giving some written instructions as to lifesaving extent and credit card limits to your Veterinarian can also help immensely in the event time is critical and you cannot be reached. Having a rabies tag, custom ID Tag (we can make those at our shelter in a few minutes) or microchip (make you’re your contact info is up-to-date with the microchip registry) can get your pet reunited quickly and having a good photo of your pet(s) on your phone greatly help if you need to post about a lost pet or show people proof that a found pet is yours. Make sure gates are LOCKED as better for your pet sitter to have a bit of inconvenience going through the house or garage than not securely closing a gate. And do some ‘pet proofing’ of your house and yard for those things that may get a bored pet into trouble. Of course, make sure you have plenty of pet food on hand and put extra, large water containers full of water inside and outside your house ‘just in case.’ If your pet is on any medications, make sure to have enough on hand so they don’t run out in the middle of your vacation or ‘beyond’ as never know when a flight delay, or car trouble, or illness

might change your ‘getting home’ plans. In the event your pet escapes while you are gone, impress on your pet sitter the importance of reporting the missing pet immediately! If here in Elmore County call us at 334-5673377, email us at hselco@bellsouth. net and post pics of your lost pet to “Lost & Found PETS in Elmore County Alabama and any number of Lost & Found Pet Facebook pages for our tri-county area. Make sure to post a phone number in your post as it is very frustrating to have a lost or found pet and get no response to your Facebook post. Many a lost pet has been brought to our shelter the same day it got out, yet the owner waited days or more to ever contact us. Nothing we love doing more than reuniting lost pets with their owners. Taking extra care to find a reliable pet sitter and seeing to the details noted above will not only help keep your pet safe at home while you are gone but will help you relax a bit more since you won’t be worried about your beloved pet(s). “Each of us can only do the best we can for as many as we can and that will never be good enough for those of us who care!”

Six arrested, accused of involvement in trafficking of fighting animals STAFF REPORT A federal grand jury returned a 23-count indictment charging Brent Easterling, William Easterling, and five other family members based in Verbena, with conspiracy to violate the federal animal fighting law, including operating fighting operators, possessing fighting animals, and trafficking in cockfighting implements. The 30-page indictment builds on pleadings before the U.S. District Court from the summer when federal authorities searched the property and ordered the Easterlings not to move animals from their property, because of their strong suspicion of involvement in illegal animal fighting ventures. The United States identified fighting pits nearby their two gamefowl farms. The arrests come just two weeks after the U.S. Supreme Court denied a writ of certiorari from political leaders in Puerto Rico seeking relief from a federal law that bans cockfighting there and in every other part of the United States. The U.S. courts have consistently upheld the federal law against animal fighting. In early June, Animal Wellness Action and AWF released a detailed report identifying Brent Easterling as a major

trafficker in fighting animals and implements. The groups presented extensive evidence to the United States about his involvement and shared a dossier on him with the U.S. Attorney for the Middle District of Alabama and with other federal law enforcement officials. “The arrests today by federal authorities send an unmistakable signal to every major cockfighting operator that there is no more business as usual when it comes to involvement in the barbaric practice of cockfighting,” said Wayne Pacelle, president of Animal Wellness Action. “The Easterlings have been known to us for a long time as cockfighting traffickers, but also are part of a far larger network of animal fighters in Alabama and throughout the United States that have made America the breeding ground for the global cockfighting industry. While some are destined for fighting pits in the U.S., hundreds of thousands of birds move from cockfighting farms here to dozens of nations throughout the world.” That June 2020 report also noted that several Alabamians illegally shipped fighting birds to Guam. The three biggest Alabama shippers to Guam come from the same tiny town of Nau-

Sports Gin Opry set for Nov. 6 By CARMEN RODGERS BUREAU CHIEF Are you looking for something fun to do on a Saturday evening? If so, a group of local musicians may have exactly what you are looking for at the Sports Gin Opry. This night of entertainment will be held at the Sports Gin, located at 1851 Indian Trail, just off Burnt Mill Road, on Nov. 6 from 6-9:30 p.m. This event will feature country gospel and oldtime rock-n-roll. The Sports Gin is a large space with plenty of room for dancing. However, if you need seating, coordinators ask that you bring your chair to this event. “It will be bring your own chair,” event coordinator David Stough said. Stough was one of the original performers at the Red Hill Community Center Friday Night Music Series nearly 20 years ago and he is hopeful that the Sports Gin Opry will become another weekend tradition similar to that. “We just want to give people in Tallassee something fun to do on a Saturday evening,” Stough said. This event is a calling all musician style night of

entertainment, according to Stough, “Anybody that comes can join in,” he said. All outlets of musical talent are encouraged to attend. “People that play by ear, they can join in. If you just want to come and you don’t play an instrument, but let’s say you sing and you want to sing a song. I can assure you that the musicians will be able to play it because most of these musicians are real, real, good. They can play just about anything that anyone wants to hear.” There will also be dancing. “We plan on doing some line dancing, and things like that,” Stough said. “If you feel like dancing, dance.” This is a free event. Donations are welcome. There will not be any refreshments offered at this event. The Sports Gin Opry aims to become a routine Saturday night event in Tallassee that will draw people from surrounding areas. “We want to do this every month,” Stough said. “And we will have different people. We might have some people from Montgomery, Alex City, Auburn, and places like that.”

voo, Ala. One of the three shippers, Jerry Adkins of Slick Lizard Farms, told a Filipino television broadcaster that he sells 6,000 birds a year. With some birds fetching as much as $200 each, that could generate millions in gross sales. For Adkins and his son, Guam has been, but a minor market compared to Mexico, where they sold 700 birds to a single purchaser in just one year. Brent Easterling was not, according to our records, shipping birds to Guam, but he was moving them to Mexico, the Philippines, and to other states, including New Mexico. Brent Easterling’s L&L Game Farm Facebook page had frequent posts and boasts about his cockfighting activities, as did his personal page. Swiftcreek Game farm is the farm frequented by Brent Easterling’s brothers Billy and Bobby and Billy’s son Tyler. AWA presented information to federal authorities revealing Mr. Easterling being interviewed by the Philippines-based cockfighting channel BNTV. That video has since been removed but we obtained a copy before the purging of the content. AWA also obtained BNTV videos where 10 other cockfighters in Alabama extol the prowess of their birds. According to AWA’s

investigation, the Easterling family members have used the U.S Postal Service for shipment of fighting birds and, in some cases, fighting implements. “If law enforcement is going to shut down illegal cockfighting in my home state of Alabama, that work can only be by the Dept. of Justice because cockfighting is effectively decriminalized in the Yellowhammer State,” noted Marty Irby, executive director of Animal Wellness Action and a native of Mobile. “While dogfighting is a felony in Alabama, cockfighting warrants less in the way of penalties than a parking ticket, and the law hasn’t been updated since the 1800s. The action of the United States in saying that it will not tolerate animal fighting

operations will reverberate from Mobile and Huntsville.” Under current federal law, it is a crime to knowingly sponsor or exhibit an animal in a fighting venture; knowingly attend an animal-fighting venture, or knowingly cause an individual who has not reached the age of 16 to attend an animal-fighting venture; knowingly buy, sell, possess, train, transport, deliver, or receive any animal for purposes of having the animal participate in an animal-fighting venture; knowingly use the mail service of the U.S. Postal Service, or any “written, wire, radio televisions or other form of communications in, or using a facility of, interstate commerce,” to advertise an animal for use in an animal fighting

venture, or to advertise a knife, gaff, or other sharp instrument designed to be attached to the leg of a bird for us in an animal fighting venture, or to promote or in any other manner further an animal fighting venture except as performed outside the U.S.; knowingly sell, buy, transport, or deliver in interstate or foreign commerce “a knife, a gaff, or any other sharp instrument” designed or intended to be attached to the leg of a bird for us in an animal-fighting venture. Penalties for each violation of any one of these provisions allows for a maximum of 5 years in prison and a $250,000 fine for perpetrators, except for an adult attending an animal fighting venture. Penalties for an adult in attendance are 1 year in prison and a $5,000 fine.

THREE-PEAT Edgewood Academy wins state championship over Chambers

By DALTON MIDDLETON Sports Editor For the third consecutive season, the Edgewood Academy volleyball team has won the state championship. Edgewood Academy beat Chambers Academy 3-2 (24-26, 25-15, 22-15, 25-12, 15-7) in a thrilling AISA Class AA state championship Thursday afternoon at the Cramton Bowl Multiplex in Montgomery. Edgewood Academy came back from down 2-1 in the match to stun the Lady Rebels. It is the third consecutive state championship for Edgewood Academy and the second consecutive for head coach David DeLozier. “What I’ve preached to these girls all year is just to take it one point at a time,” DeLozier said. “It doesn’t matter who we’re playing and if they’re really good or having a good day. If we can steady ourselves and play our game and our standard, then I like our chances. I’m proud of the way we found a way to win.” The two teams traded the first two

sets, with Chambers winning the first set 26-24 and Edgewood Academy winning the second 25-15. Edgewood looked to carry that momentum into the third set and led 20-12 midway through before Chambers called a timeout and grabbed momentum. Using an 8-0 run out of the timeout to spark the comeback, Chambers Academy finished the third set on a 13-2 run to take a commanding 2-1 lead over Edgewood and put the Wildcats’ backs against the wall. Despite being on the brink of elimination, DeLozier’s team didn’t falter and steamrolled in the fourth set to tie the match, 2-2. The Wildcats won the fourth set 25-12 after blowing the eight-point lead in the third set. “People talk about phrases being cliche, but I really do mean it when I say take it one point at a time,” DeLozier said. “Winning by eight or losing by five, it’s still 0-0 and you play that point and win that point. I really like that mentality. As we showed, it can get away from us or See THREE-PEAT, Page B2

EA volleyball team is in the midst of a dynasty

hen you think about big sports dynasties, what are the first teams that come to mind? Obviously the Alabama football team, both under Bear Bryant and under Nick Saban, especially since 2009. But maybe also the New York Yankees from 1996 to the early 2000s. Or you think about Kobe Bryant’s Lakers or Michael Jordan’s Bulls. See DYNASTY, Page B2

Wetumpka quarterback Nate Rogers is expected to play this Friday night in the first round of the AHSAA Class 6A playoffs. Rogers missed Wetumpka’s final regular-season game due to injury.

Wetumpka heads south to face tough Saraland team in first round By DALTON MIDDLETON Sports Editor The Wetumpka football team is coming off its bye week, and now the Indians are entering the first round of the playoffs at full health. Wetumpka (5-5) is the No. 4 seed out of Region 3 in the AHSAA Class 6A playoffs, and they travel to Region 1’s No. 1 seed in Saraland (8-2) on Friday at 7 p.m. Saraland plays at Spartans Stadium at 401 Baldwin Street, Saraland AL, 36571. Wetumpka clinched its playoff berth two weeks ago in its regular-season finale against Stanhope Elmore, an 8-7 win. In that game, Wetumpka was without starting quarterback Nate Rogers due to an injury. In his place, receiver Dorian Jackson started the game after two days of practice, but he went down with an injury as well. Freshman Tyler Johnson came in and threw the game-winning touchdown pass in the fourth quarter. But after last week’s bye week, Rogers is back healthy and ready to play in the first round. “Dorian did such a great job to step up and play in a tough situation,” Wetumpka coach Tim Perry said. “We are super proud of him for that. But obviously, having the starter back, especially at quarterback, makes everything run. Obviously Nate is the one who has gotten the majority of the reps, so having him back lets us get back to our regular offense and now we don’t have to hold anything back in the playbook.” Rogers and company will go up against a Saraland defense that is allowing only 16.3 points per game this season. Saraland, which hasn’t lost since Week 2, has See WETUMPKA, Page B2

Alabama State fires head football coach Donald Hill-Eley By DALTON MIDDLETON Sports Editor The Alabama State University football team announced on Monday morning that Donald Hill-Eley will no longer serve as the university’s head football coach. Eley has been the head coach at Alabama State for the last four-plus seasons and has compiled a 20-21 record across that time. The announcement comes just two days after a 42-28 loss to rival Alabama A&M on Saturday. “We want to thank coach Eley for his seven years of service and commitment to Alabama State and wish him the best in the future,” ASU Director of Intercollegiate Athletics Dr. Jason Cable said in a press release. Eley served as the tight ends and special teams coach early in his ASU

coaching career, but was promoted to head coach midway through 2017 after an 0-5 start to the season. As the interim head coach in 2017, he led the Hornets to a 5-1 record over the final six games to end the year. He was promoted to head coach, and has gone 15-20 since then. He led the Hornets to a 4-7 record in 2018, 5-6 record in 2019, and a 3-3 in the COVID-19 shortened 2020 season. This year, Alabama State is 3-4 with a 2-3 record in the SWAC. The Hornets have currently lost two straight to Jackson State and Alabama A&M. Current defensive coordinator Travis Pearson will serve as the interim head coach for the remainder of the season, beginning with this weekend’s upcoming road game with Prairie View A&M.

DYNASTY Continued from B1

There are plenty of options in national sports. But take it down to the local scene. Hoover football comes to mind with its nine championships in 15 years from 2003-2017. The Edgewood Academy football team comes to mind from 20102013. Now take it down to the sport of volleyball. Bayside Academy obviously is the first team to pop in my head. They’ve won 20 consecutive state championships since 2002. Quite honestly, that’s probably one of the most dominant ones I’ve ever heard of. But now let’s get to my point. There’s a sports dynasty going on right here in your own backyard, and I feel like not enough people are talking about it. That dynasty is Edgewood Academy volleyball. This was obviously my first season covering Edgewood Academy since I just moved here this summer, but it was extremely clear from the very beginning of the year just how dominant Edgewood was compared to its opponents. That continued over the course of the year, and was more evident than ever in the state tournament last week when Edgewood beat both its quarterfinals opponent and semifinals opponent 3-0. Edgewood went on to win the state championship Thursday, beating Chambers 3-2 in a thriller in the finals. And be-

we can get on a steamroll and cruise. We have to maintain our standard and stay consistent and I’m proud of the way we found that late in the match.” Karlee Mainor started the set with back-to-back kills, and after going back and forth, Lindsey Brown put the Wildcats up for good with consecutive service aces that put Edgewood up 12-7. Edgewood pushed its lead to 16-7, then used a 6-0 run late to finish off the set 25-12, setting up a decisive fifth set. “We all decided we needed to work together as a team,” Brown said of the fourth set. “I got on to

fore you say “One dominant year doesn’t make a dynasty,” look at what Edgewood has done in the last few years. The Wildcats have won three consecutive state championships and five out of the last six. They played for all six, but lost the championship in 2018. Let’s take a quick look at them. In 2016, Edgewood beat Cornerstone Christian in the AISA-A championship. Then they beat Autauga Academy in 2017, and lost to Macon-East Academy in 2018. Edgewood beat Glenwood in 2019, Chambers in 2020, and Chambers again this year. The Wildcats also did that under the helm of three different head coaches. Sellers Dubberley led the Wildcats for three years in 2016, 2017 and 2018, winning two of three years. Then came Hannah Josey, who led the Wildcats to a title in her lone season in 2019. David DeLozier took over before the 2020 season, and the championship standard has not changed as he’s won state in both of his seasons. I asked DeLozier if Edgewood Academy was a dynasty after the state championship win last week, and he wouldn’t say they were. Here is what he said, though. “I’ll leave that for other people to decide,” DeLozier said about whether it’s a dynasty. “I’m proud of the way my girls work and I’m proud of the culture that I’ve created at Edgewood. I think it says something about our team and our culture that we aren’t the biggest school and don’t have the biggest girls or best athletes, but we work hard as a team and

them because we were all saying how we didn’t have energy the whole time or have the mindset that we wanted to win. At that moment of time, their crowd was loud. We ended up staying on our team and on our side, and we ended up succeeding.” In the decisive fifth set, Chambers jumped out to a quick 3-0 lead after a kill and two Edgewood hits into the net. But once again, the Wildcats fought back and took the lead, 5-3, and never gave it back up. Avery White got the scoring started with a kill, and Mainor followed up with two kills to put Edgewood up 6-4. After a bad Chambers hit and a block from Mainor, Edgewood led 8-4. Later in the set, up 9-6,

we find a way when it matters most.” While he wouldn’t say it, I will. Edgewood is a dynasty, and I don’t think it ends anytime soon. They’ve continued this run over six years with three different coaches, and they could have very easily taken a step back this year. They lost five seniors from last year, and basically came in with a very new team outside of some returning pieces. Instead of sitting back and rebuilding, they reloaded, and now they can continue that run next season. Edgewood is only losing two seniors this year: Emma Weldon and Molly Snow. Snow did not play very much, and this was her only year she’s ever played volleyball. Weldon, however, will be a big loss. She was one of the area’s best setters and was named to the All-Tournament team last week because of her performance. When you look at who returns next year, a few names stand out. Lindsey Brown headlines the returners, but there’s a lot of talent coming back. Karlee Mainor and Madison Martin will continue to be forces at the net, while Avery White, Jaylyn Strength and Brown all played huge parts this year. When I look at all the players returning, the ones I named and even the ones I didn’t, I feel bad for opposing teams. This Edgewood team is stacked with very talented players and a great coach, and this dynasty is nowhere close to ending.

Edgewood scored five consecutive points to get to match point. Madison Martin had two kills, Brown added a kill, and Jaylyn Strength had back-to-back aces to put Edgewood up 14-7. With the game on match point, two timeouts were called consecutively and DeLozier took the chance to honor his two seniors, Emma Weldon and Molly Snow. Both players stepped onto the court while the rest of the team stepped off, and the team, parents and student section alike all cheered for their seniors. Only needing one point to clinch the state championship, both seniors stayed on the court as play resumed. On the first play following the

two timeouts, Martin hit a kill straight into the court on the Chambers side to give Edgewood the 15-7 fifth-set win and the 3-2 championship victory. “That was a really tough game, and I think this team is something special,” Weldon said. “This is my last game ever, so it’s rough, but it was really, really fun.

allowed only 45 points across its last six games and has shutout two opponents. During that stretch, Saraland has held four teams to a touchdown or less and has outscored its opponents by an average of 34 points per game. Saraland shut out Citronelle 49-0 in its last game on Oct. 22. The Spartans also had an open week last week to prepare for the playoffs. “It’s obvious after watching on film why they’re having the success they’re having,” Perry said. “From a defensive standpoint, they have a lot of team speed. Their secondary plays a lot of man coverage, and you understand why with the athleticism they have back there. In the box, they’re fast and get to the ball and get off blocks fast.” As good as the Saraland defense has been, the offense has been just as good if not better. Saraland’s offense averages only 33 ppg this year, but that’s mostly due to only scoring 14 combined points in the two losses to start the season. Since then, Saraland has scored over 28 points in every game and went on a tear in October. In its four games that month, Saraland scored over 41 points in three consecutive games and averaged 42 ppg. The Spartans offense is led by quarterback Gabe Reynolds, who has only thrown seven interceptions this year. Only three of those came in October. The Spartans spread the ball out well, and they have four receivers who average over three catches per game. Their best receiver, 6-foot-3 senior Jarel Williams, has 525 yards this year with a team-high seven touchdowns. In the running game, sophomore Santae McWilliams Jr. leads the attack with 114 carries for 632 yards and four touchdowns, an average of 5.5 yards per carry. Sophomore DaArrius Washington adds three touchdowns to the run game. “You can’t focus on one specific player,” Perry said. “They have some outstanding skill players and their quarterback, despite being only a sophomore, does a great job running the offense. He doesn’t turn the ball over often. They line up in a ton of different formations, so it’s tough on a defense to try and make sure we are in the right spots.”

All About Geese Goose word find

November 3, 2021• Page B3

A goose is a type of bird called a waterfowl. Geese (more than one goose) are migratory birds that fly south to warmer weather in Winter. A male goose is called a gander; baby geese are called goslings; and a group of geese are called a gaggle. The most common type of goose found in the United States is the Canada Goose, although there are many other types. Geese live mainly in North America, although some have been introduced in Europe. Geese migrate to warmer climates in Winter. It is easy to spot a flock of geese flying in their V-formation. Geese use this formation to fly faster; the formation allows them to ride on air currents created by the tips of their wings. When the lead goose gets tired, they switch places. They can travel up to 1,500 miles a day if they are assisted by a strong tailwind. Geese are extremely loyal to their gaggle, and they mate for life which means they will only have young with one other bird. When one of the birds gets sick or injured, some of the geese will stay with them until they are better, and they are known to become depressed when their mate dies. They are very social animals, and it is fun to watch them interact within their flock. Geese live in areas with water and have beaks with serrated edges that they use to eat grasses from underneath the surface of the water. These birds were first domesticated over 3,000 years ago in Ancient Egypt. The average goose lives approximately 15-25 years and sometimes even longer in captivity. They are known for their excellent eyesight and can see things from very far away. Once a year they molt or lose all their feathers. During this time, they are unable to fly. They stay very close to the water for about a month while their new feathers grow in. They are known for their loud honking noise that they use to communicate with other members of their flock. The expression “to take a gander” is a reference to the way that geese walk around with their necks stretched out, looking around.

My spouse’s current mailing address is 62] Georgia Hwy 26, Cusseta, GA 31815. I have lived in Alabama for more than six months and I am over the age of nineteen years. My spouse, Deirdre Wilson, is over the age of nineteen years and she has been a resident of the State of Alabama for more than six months. We were married in Russell County, Alabama on October 15, 2002, and we have not lived in a marital state since April 2015. There were no children born of this marriage; wife is not pregnant. The separation and this action are based on the existence of a complete incompatibility of temperament having developed between us. Our goals, life styles, and expectations have become so different that we can no longer tolerate our marital relationship. We have grown further and further apart. This incompatibility is irreconcilable and irremediable and as a result there has been an irretrievable breakdown of the marriage. Any further attempt at reconciliation is impractical and would not be in the best interest of either party. SIGNED AND SWORN on this the 14th day of Oct., 2021.

Gas prices rise seven cents in a week across the state STAFF REPORT Alabama gas prices have risen 0.7 cents per gallon in the past week, averaging $3.19 a gallon on Monday, according to GasBuddy’s daily survey of 3,348 stations in Alabama. Gas prices in Alabama are 33.3 cents per gallon higher than a month ago and stand $1.35 per gallon higher than a year ago. According to GasBuddy price reports, the cheapest station in Alabama is priced at $2.97per gallon today while the most expensive is $3.69 a gallon, a difference of 72 cents per gallon. The national average price of gasoline has risen 0.6 cents per gallon in the last week, averaging $3.38 per gallon today. The national average is up 19.5 cents per gallon from a month ago and stands $1.26 per gallon higher than a year ago. “The jump in gas prices that started nearly a month ago is finally running out of steam for the time being, as oil prices have stabilized. Yet, some areas of California are still at or near all-time record highs for prices,” said Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis for GasBuddy. “While California’s high prices will not become a nationwide norm, prices there will likely remain elevated due to refinery issues amidst the surge of rain and other refinery kinks.

For most motorists, gas prices are likely to greatly slow their recent ascent, and we could even see some small declines in the week ahead. OPEC is planning to meet next week, and while it doesn’t seem likely there will be any boost in oil output, its meeting and comments could easily drive the market up or down. The

odds remain high that gas prices will remain near today’s elevated levels going into the holidays, barring additional OPEC supply.” GasBuddy is the authoritative voice for gas prices and the only source for station-level data spanning nearly two decades. Unlike AAA’s once daily survey covering credit card

The power to keep moving forward when life is difficult

lthough a brilliant man, E. Stanley Jones used simple word pictures to explain the Christian life. In his popular devotional book, Victorious Living, he described three kinds of Christians: the rowboat type, the sailboat type and the steamboat type. As I reviewed his descriptions, it occurred to me that in my Christian journey I have been each one of the three types. Early on, I was a rowboat disciple, struggling to imitate Christ in my own strength. Jones describes the rowboat Christian as “humanistic,

WALTER ALBRITTON Columnist self-dependent, trying to get along with one’s own resources.” Because their resources are limited, rowboat disciples struggle to grow in grace. That is an apt description of my life as a young Christian. Sailboat disciples are dependent on others and on their circumstances, or as Jones says,

they depend on “the winds.” They make progress only when the winds are with them; if people are constantly affirming them and encouraging them, they move forward. But if people stop patting them on the back, they are dead in the water. Yes, I must admit, there were days like that for me. The need, of course, is to become a steamboat Christian, a disciple with inner power to live a holy life that pleases God. With power on the inside, one can move forward with or without the winds. Though a helping wind is always welcome, and the affirmation of

others makes a difference, the steamboat disciple’s primary source of power is the indwelling Christ. For me this discovery was like moving from imitation to incarnation. I moved from struggling to peace when I stopped trying with clenched fists to imitate Christ and invited Christ to make His home in my heart. Embracing the truth of “Christ in me” changed everything. I began finding the power to move on even in the most difficult times. So my own experience confirms Jones’ observation: “This power to go on when life is
