Meet and greet held for Main Street Wetumpka’s new director By BRIANA WILSON Bureau Chief
Haley Greene is seamlessly settling into her new role as Main Street Wetumpka’s new executive director just fine. Since Greene joined Main Street Wetumpka on July 1, she’s been busy learning the lay of the land and already has plans in place to make
improvements in downtown Wetumpka. Main Street Wetumpka hosted a welcome reception for Greene on Thursday, July 8, at the Jeanette Barrett Civic Room to give residents a chance to meet and get to know her. Since starting the position, Greene has been busy completing Main Street Alabama’s training program
for new directors. She’s engulfed in learning how to use the Main Street software and in learning about the businesses in the area. But she’s also finding time to get started on a project at the Tourist Trap. Greene said the organization plans to add outside lighting to the sitting area at the Tourist Trap to encourage people
to sit and hang out there in the evenings. Greene said she’s also trying to get online sales started and has been brainstorming new merchandise ideas with Kiera Champion, Main Street Wetumpka’s special projects coordinator. Items such as coffee mugs and dog bandanas could be coming soon. Profits from the Tourist
Trap are funneled back into the small business to restock merchandise and to keep the facility in good shape. “I love this place,” Greene said. “I’ve met so many awesome, friendly and kind-hearted people since I’ve been here. I’m excited to continue meeting See DIRECTOR • Page A3
Local influencer needs help of community for nomination By BRIANA WILSON Bureau Chief
Slapout resident Jenna Smith is vying to become a candidate for the American Influencers Awards. The American Influencer Association was established in 2016 to recognize well known and emerging influencers on social media, and the first American Influencer Awards show took place in 2017. In 2021, after success with beauty categories, the American Influencer Awards expanded to also include fashion, fitness and lifestyle categories. Nominees and winners are selected through a public nomination and voting process and reviewed by an advisory board. Smith is asking for nominations in the Emerging Lifestyle Influencer and Emerging Fashion Influencer categories, and she needs as many people as possible to cast their votes for her. Smith started her Instagram page in 2019 under handle of Lady. serendipity21 and it has quickly grown to have more than 29,000 followers. Her page focuses on showcasing her community and southern fashion. “Through my page, I want people to see that even though we’re from a small town and we may be moms, we still have access to fashion and we have style,” Smith said.

Inaugural Coosa River Art Expo a success By BRIANA WILSON Bureau Chief
T
he Inaugural Coosa River Art Expo was a success on Friday, July 9, as artists and creatives gathered at the Wetumpka River Walk to showcase their artwork. Founder and organizer Rhonda
Sims said the event served as an opportunity for artists in the region to sell and showcase their work, and even to demonstrate how they create their artwork. Sims said she was initially looking for a way to showcase her own art and the Coosa River Art Expo emerged from that. The event included several
different types of art including paintings, woodwork, jewelry making, photography, live music and homemade baked goods, jams and jellies. About 30 vendors participated in the event, including the Wharf Casual Seafood’s food truck, Anne’s Candy and Ice Cream Truck and Mr. V’s Gumbo. Musical guests include singer See EXPO • Page A3

The dog that won the first-place prize was rescue dog, although the judges didn’t know that at the time. The event is expected to become an annual fundraiser for the shelter.

Obituaries Emily Ann Cole January 8, 1937 – July 6, 2021 Emily Ann Cole passed away peacefully at her home on Lake Jordan July 6, 2021. She graduated from Jones Valley High School in the class of 1955. She married her husband, Bill Cole in 1962. While an Air Force wife for 15 years, her major move during her husband’s military career was from Prattville, AL to Slapout/ Holtville, AL. While raising her three children was her true occupation, she worked for the Wetumpka Police Department, beginning as the night dispatcher, then becoming the administrative assistant to the Chief of Police. She retired from that career in 1998 after 22 years of service. Emily loved music and loved to sing. She sang in the Jones Valley High School Glee Club, the Birmingham Civic Opera, and passed the love of music to her family, serving as a band mother for each of her children and sharing her gift of sewing band and majorette uniforms. She, along with her dear friend Dianne Lewis, led girl scout packs through many adventures like camping out, building buddy burners, and cooking meals in cardboard ovens. Emily also had a beautiful, self-taught artistic talent. She loved giving her art to others, through painted chests, toyboxes, rocking
chairs and through her sharing her talent with the “Chalk Talk” group at her church. Many of her treasured moments were spending time with her sisters on camping trips to Wind Creek State Park and on beach trips to Panama City Beach. Emily was preceded in death by her mother, Mildred Horton, her father, Willis Ford Langston, her husband, William “Bill” Cole, and her sister, Sue Bailey. Survivors include her sister Cathy Satterlee, her son Douglass “Lynn” Cole, her daughter Christy Cole Sellers and her husband Greg Sellers, her son David Cole and his wife Brandy Cole, her grandson Dawson Sellers and his wife Brice Sellers, and her grandson Parker Sellers, granddaughters Makenzie Tucker and her husband Brantley Tucker, Morgan Cleveland, Madi Grace Cleveland, great-grandchildren Eden Tucker and Wesley Cleveland. Funeral services will be held 2:00 p.m., Saturday, July 10, 2021 at Cain’s Chapel United Methodist Church, with Reverends Susan Beeson and Gary Stringfellow officiating. Visitation beginning at the church immediately prior at 1:00 p.m. Interment will follow at Pineview Memorial Cemetery in Wetumpka, AL. While Emily enjoyed beautiful arrangements of flowers during her life, she loved, supported and received much support from her church family at Cain’s Chapel United Methodist Church. Memorial contributions may be made in her memory to Cain’s Chapel United Methodist Church. Online Guest Book available at www.gassettfuneralhome.net

Jenna Smith is hoping to be a candidate for an American Influencer Award.
continued from Page A1
Smith said she was shocked when her page started gaining thousands of followers. “I had no intentions of it growing to this point – I took it lightly at first,” she said. “I was completely shocked when it really started to take off. Companies started reaching out to me to take photos in clothes and it just really grew.” In the short time that Smith has been active on Instagram, she has worked with brands such as Fashion Nova, Forever 21, and corsetry companies Timeless Trends Corsets and True Corset. She’s also used her influence to promote local businesses like The Coosa Belle Boutique and The Yellow Daffodil. Now, being a social media influencer has become her full-time job. “I want to make sure that I’m using whatever influence I have to bring attention back to Elmore County,” she said. “I want people to see what a beautiful place we live in Just recently, she started using her platform to spread positivity through the I Love You Movement, which encourages acts of kindness. Smith has partnered with the California-based organization to acquire some of their T-shirts, Crayola for several boxes of their Colors of the World crayons and the Wetumpka Fire Department donated coloring books. She’s been passing out the coloring books and crayons to local children and inviting them to take pictures while wearing the “I Love You” T-shirts. The nomination period for the American Influencer Awards closes in three days, and Smith is urging residents to go online to Aiaawards. com/ and nominate her in the Emerging Lifestyle Influencer and Emerging Fashion Influencer categories. Residents can vote by clicking on the 2021 Awards Nominations. Select the Vote in Fashion tab for the Emerging Fashion Influencer category and the Vote in Lifestyle tab for the Emerging Lifestyle Influencer category. When the nomination period ends, the association will take into consideration the amount of votes each influencer received. However, the decision on who the finalists will be in each category will be up to the American Influencer Association. Be sure to follow Smith on Instagram @Lady. serendipity21.

Christmas in July
I
t is summertime in Alabama. The dog-days-of-summer. It’s hot and humid. Mostly humid. The air feels thick. It’s usually about this time of year that I start thinking about cooler months. That’s right, less than a month into summer and I have pumpkins, apple cider, and the upcoming holidays on my mind. I think it’s because we are halfway into the year and the holidays will be here before we know it. I have already bought a few Christmas gifts. Walmart typically starts toys clearance sales around this time of year. So, to avoid going broke in November and December, I buy what I find on sale ahead of time. Buying gifts ahead of time really does save money. The holidays can be a financial struggle. Especially if you’re on a budget. And with prices constantly climbing due to inflation, hyperinflation, who knows what costs will be five or six months down the road?
CARMEN RODGERS Bureau Chief I like to be ready. I like to buy gifts. I also like to shop. It all works out well. By the time the holiday season rolls around, I am prepared. Not only does this save money in the long run, it also makes the holidays a little less stressful. I have a lot of nieces and nephews, 12 to be exact. The oldest is 14 years old and the youngest is 2 years old. I like to buy something that I know they want or need. Running around trying to find something for everyone can be super stressful, especially if I try to cram it all in during the weeks before Christmas. So, when I see something that I know one of them will like, I buy it if I can. Now, while all this makes perfect sense to me, it equates to total ridiculousness to my
husband. For him, Christmas comes in December, and December alone. Each year, about three days before Christmas, he does all of his shopping in one afternoon. So, when I bring home a Christmas gift for someone in July, he just shakes his head at me. Each year, I try to rush into the holiday season. I always want to put the Christmas Tree up before Thanksgiving. But I wait until after Turkey Day because that’s tradition in the Rodgers house. That, and I can’t get to it by myself because I am too short, so I wait. I know I am daydreaming. It’s 90-plus degrees outside. Who has Christmas on their mind right now? Well, a lot of people. Just tune into the Hallmark channel. Christmas in July 2021 kicked off Sunday with “12 Gifts of Christmas.” The network will continue to air Christmas movies until July 31. By then, we will be only three months and 25 days away from Christmas in December!

The story of the great Charles Henderson
S
ince I hail from Troy, Alabama, allow me to share with you the story of our only governor. Charles Henderson was not only the 35th Governor of Alabama, but he may also be one of the most profound philanthropists in Alabama history. He is unquestionably the greatest philanthropist to grace Pike County. Soon after Alabama’s 1901 Constitution was enacted, a pattern of electing well-heeled governors began. From 1910-1946 Alabama elected what we referred to as bourbon governors. They were usually successful businessmen who looked at the job as a civic role for four years. The big mules of Birmingham and the big planters of the Black Belt would meet in a board room and anoint their candidate, who they would privately back financially. There would be no other business candidate. These big mules would team up with the probate judges who were the power brokers and usually could dictate who carried each county. Charles Henderson epitomized the governors of this bourbon era. He was governor from 1915-1919. Henderson is generally regarded as Alabama’s wealthiest governor. In fact, it was said that while he was governor, he was also the richest man in Alabama. At age 44 he founded and owned the Troy Bank and Trust Company in Troy. Additionally, he owned a myriad of banks all over Alabama including the largest bank in Huntsville. He also owned or co-owned every major business in Troy. Charles Henderson was born in 1860 in Pike County. His father owned a mercantile business and died when Charles was 16. By 17,
STEVE FLOWERS Columnistt Charles Henderson was running his father’s business and by 20 had turned it into the largest wholesale grocery company in Southeast Alabama. By the age of 27, he had formed his own railroad company, established the Troy Normal School which later became Troy State University and now Troy University, and started the Standard Chemical Company. By the way, he was elected the Mayor of Troy at age 26. He resigned as Mayor of Troy in 1906 after being appointed President of the Alabama Railroad Commission, which not only regulated railroads but utilities also. It is now known as the Public Service Commission. During this era, he brought telephone and electricity to Troy. He owned both entities. He also owned the Pea River Utility Company. At 54, Charles Henderson was elected Alabama’s 35th Governor. He is known in history as Alabama’s Business Governor. When he took office, the state was broke. When he left in 1919, the state coffers were flush, which was apropos for the state’s “Business Governor.” Charles Henderson’s greatest legacy is not as governor, but as the most altruistic philanthropist in Pike County’s history. Henderson left a will that set up trusts before they were common. He set up a trust foundation with his vast wealth that is simply remarkable. He and his wife, Laura, were
childless. He took care of her financially. However, he also took care of the children of Pike County. He understood the power of compound interest. He left a corpus of money in trust with the directions that it should be left alone to compound for 20-years. At that time, the money was to be used to build schools for Pike County. The interest off of his trust built every school in Pike County. The high school I graduated from was appropriately named Charles Henderson High School. His will called for the interest of his trust to go to medical care for Pike County children after it had built all the schools. In 1979 the Charles Henderson Child Health Center was built in Troy. It is a state-of-the-art health clinic that allures the best pediatricians and pediatric dentists from throughout the country. Every child in Pike County can receive medical and dental care equal to that seen by children in Manhattan, free of charge, thanks to Governor Charles Henderson. Governor Henderson died on January 7, 1937 at age 77 from a stroke caused by influenza. He was buried in Oakwood Cemetery in Troy. An eternal flame illuminates his grave 24 hours a day. Appropriately, it is furnished by the City of Troy utilities which he founded. Charles Henderson was indeed a remarkable man. See you next week.

Humane Society of Elmore County News
Thank you to our gracious supporters By REA CORD HSEC Executive Director
We are a lucky shelter indeed! Elizabeth Barber, the clinic manager at Montgomery’s Blue Ridge Animal Clinic held her sixth annual ‘Yappy Barkday Pawty’ Fundraiser to celebrate a very special doggy birthday. Her dog Phoenix was adopted from our shelter and is a most loved and very special dog indeed. With each succeeding year this event has grown, and because of Elizabeth’s efforts and the support of Dr. Busby and everyone at Blue Ridge Animal Clinic, we are thrilled to announce that this year’s event raised just short of $10,000 and a huge truckload of food and supplies to help our pets. So thank you to everyone who donated and stopped by to help make this a
huge success. And please make sure to thank everyone at Blue Ridge Animal Clinic and most especially Elizabeth and Phoenix for helping our shelter like this. We also want to thank Brett Fuller at The Furry Kid, Main Street Wetumpka, and Andrea Peele with The Market Shoppes for coming up with the most awesome and first ever, Pooches on the Coosa event that was held on June 11 in downtown Wetumpka. If you missed it you will definitely want to look out for this event next year as it was a blast seeing all the dogs dressed up in their evening, beach and other fancy finery. And there are also many talented pooches in our area as they showed off some most spectacular tricks to the large crowd of petloving people and their very loved and spoiled
pooches! Tonya Terry lent her voice as the Master of Ceremonies and everyone simply had a grand time with their dogs, winning prizes and raising money that is benefitting our shelter pets. Because of a lot of hard work by Brett, Andrea and a host of other people, they raised almost $900 for our shelter on this very first go around. We know this event is going to grow and grow and we look forward to the fun again next year. And make sure to mark your calendar and join us for another fun dogoriented event Bark in the Park 2021 on Sunday, Sept. 19, from 1-5 p.m. at Ft. Toulouse. If you are a vendor and would like to join in on the fun, just send an email to hselco@ bellsouth.net for more information. We will get more info posted on our website shortly.
Pet of the Week – Baxter Baxter is an 8-year-old male Lab that weighs about 50 pounds. He is a very laid back, sweet boy. Baxter is good on a leash, great with other dogs and cats, and best with older children. He is actually the perfect bigger dog if you want a low-key boy who just wants to hang out and watch TV with you. Adoption fees are $100 for dogs and $50 for cats under 1-year-old. Cats over 1-year-old can be adopted by approved adopters for a fee of their choosing. This adoption fee completely covers the mandatory spay or neuter, basic immunizations, de-worming, microchip, heartworm check for dogs, rabies vaccination if old enough and a free health exam with your participating veterinarian. If you are interested in meeting Holly or any of the pets at the humane society, send an email to hselco@bellsouth.net to get an adoption application. Once that is cleared, an appointment will be set up. Walk-in adoptions are not allowed at this time. The shelter is located at 255 Central Plank Road in Wetumpka, the phone number is 334-567-3377, and the website is www.elmorehumane.org.

THE WETUMPKA HERALD

Running life’s greatest race
remember vividly my flight into Nome, Alaska. After flying from Mobile to Chicago, I had enjoyed a pleasant Delta ride into Anchorage. There I was surprised to learn that the flight into Nome was being delayed by weather conditions. Three hours passed as we waited impatiently. Finally, we heard this announcement: “Folks, we are ready to board your flight. We are going to try to make it into Nome, though if the weather gets worse, the pilot may have to bring you back to Anchorage.” The word “try” made me more than a little nervous. But nervousness soon turned to fear when, after what seemed a short flight, the pilot asked us to fasten our seat belts
and said, “We are going to try to land in Nome.” There was that word “try” again. Snow was all I could see out of my window seat so it was obvious we were landing in the midst of a snowstorm. In a moment like that, if you have never prayed a prayer in your life, you will then, and I was praying hard for a safe landing. About the time we should have felt the wheels touching down on the runway, the pilot gunned the engines and aborted the landing. Quietly, he announced that he would fly around a bit and then “try” another landing. All on board were applauding when the second attempt proved successful. I have never been more thankful to feel the wheels touch the runway. I was in Nome for a
WALTER ALBRITTON Columnistt preaching mission sponsored by all 10 churches in the small town. It was a unique experience. I enjoyed a meal in the home of a gracious Eskimo family, got to ride on a dog sled, and discovered what it was like to be broad daylight at 10 p.m. And it was there that I learned about the Iditarod Dog Sled Race, which begins in Anchorage and ends in Nome. The Iditarod occurs every March as the Mushers, dogsled drivers, use teams of dogs to pull their sleds a 1,000 miles
while competing for money and other prizes. The race takes eight to 14 days to complete, with dogs being forced to run about a hundred miles a day. Many people are rightly concerned about the cruelty suffered by the dogs. Since the first race in 1973, more than 150 dogs have died during the Iditarod. What interests me is the way young adults are willing to accept the challenge of running a team of dogs in this race and other races like it. The race is run in bitterly cold wind and snowstorms and on dangerous ice, in temperatures as low as 60 degrees below zero. Already, some 50 young men and women have signed up to compete in the 2022 Iditarod scheduled to begin on March 5. Though some young adults are unwilling to work these days, there are thousands of others across the world who
are dedicated to winning races like the Iditarod and the Olympics. They are willing to make great sacrifices in order to win money or a gold medal. These young adults remind us that youth love a challenge; that should inspire us who are followers of Christ to work more earnestly to recruit our youth for the greater challenge of serving Christ. We must continue to urge our youth to get connected to Jesus and join with us in running life’s greatest race, the race that requires our all in order to share our Lord’s mission to bring all people into the Kingdom. So, as long as I have breath left, I plan to use it to challenge young people to accept the challenge to live for Jesus by loving God and loving our neighbors to the end that all people, and dogs as well, may live in a world of peace, justice and kindness.

Cadillac Williams to headline Elmore County Auburn Club kickoff banquet By ANDY ANDERS Regional Sports Director
Cadillac Williams will be driving out to Wetumpka to benefit Elmore County’s future Auburn students. The Elmore County Auburn Club, which provides scholarships for Elmore County high school graduates attending Auburn University, is hosting its 2021 Kickoff Banquet July 20 at the Wetumpka Civic Center. All proceeds will go toward scholarships. “Our main goal with the kickoff banquet is to raise
funds for our scholarships,” Elmore County Auburn Club secretary Pam Martin said. “We have an endowment set up with the Williams Auburn Alumni Association that automatically gives one student a scholarship. We like to give more than just that one student a scholarship.” Williams, Auburn’s second all-time leading rusher and current running backs coach, will be the event’s featured
speaker. He’ll share the latest news and updates from behind the scenes at the Tigers’ program, and will be available for photographs and autographs before dinner at the banquet. Scholarship recipients from the class of 2021 in Elmore County will also be recognized at the banquet July 20. The Elmore County Auburn Club provides a $1,500 scholarship every year to an Elmore County student attending the school from Auburn Alumni Association’s endowment. Additional $1,000 scholarships are distributed as
the organization raises more funds to give to more students in Elmore County. “The more scholarships we can give, the more students we can help attend Auburn University,” Martin said. The Auburn Alumni Association selects the scholarship recipients, while the Elmore County Auburn Club handles the funds. Martin advised future Auburn students in the county interested in receiving a scholarship to speak with their school guidance counselors about the opportunity so those counselors
can work with the Alumni Association. Students from all six high schools, public and private, in the Elmore County area are eligible. The event will be held at the Wetumpka Civic Center, 410 South Main Street in Wetumpka. Tickets are $30 each for the first member of each household and $25 for each additional member. Social hour with photo opportunities with Williams and a silent auction on select sports-related items begins at 6 p.m. with a barbecue dinner to follow at 6:30 p.m.
Wetumpka Youth League carries spring momentum into fall league By DALTON MIDDLETON Sports Editor
Just one year after COVID-19 ended the spring season after only one day of games, the Wetumpka Youth Baseball and Softball League wrapped up its most successful seasons of all time. The Wetumpka Youth All-Star teams finished their summer seasons this past weekend with the 9U All-Star baseball team placing second in the BPA Recreational League Tournament of Champions. The 7U and 10U teams also participated in the tournament and each finished in third place. The WYBSL had multiple top tournament finishes this summer. In the regional tournament, the 10U team was named the regional tournament champions while the 7U and 12U teams each came in 2nd place. The 10U championship was the first regional championship in any age group in Wetumpka youth history, at least as far back as league commissioner Matt Fallin has records for. “This was the first time we’ve ever made this good of a showing in any tournament, so we’re extremely pleased with how the All-Stars season turned out,” Fallin said. “Everyone who participated had a phenomenal time.” It wasn’t just the championships, however, that made the season as successful as it was. Fallin said over 580 players from ages 5-18 participated in the league this summer. Those players were split up between five softball teams (6U, 8U, 10U, 12U and 18U) and six baseball teams (6U, 7U, 8U, 9U, 10U, and 12U.) This was the first season that Wetumpka has had a 7U and 9U All-Star baseball team, and that was due simply to the amount of players who signed up this year. There was also the Babe Ruth league this summer, which is for boys ages 13-18. With over 85 participants and 8 teams, it was the largest Babe Ruth summer in WYBSL history. “I think the bottom line is that everyone was ready to get out of the house and get out and do something,” Fallin said. “It was just so freeing to be able to get out there and play ball and not have to worry about masks and all the restrictions.” Due to the high number of participants, the WYBSL was also able to raise a lot of money for future endeavors. The league hosted a preseason fundraiser tournament that raised $8,000 dollars, along with mid-season tournaments and two different All-Star softball tournaments. The tournaments were not fundraisers, but helped raise money mostly though concessions. Fallin and the WYBSL’s 13-member volunteer board helped staff the concession stand. See YOUTH • Page B6

Wetumpka volleyball looks to continue success with inexperienced group By DALTON MIDDLETON Sports Editor
After losing four seniors to graduation last season, head coach DeAnna Smith and the Wetumpka volleyball team is spending the summer working on team cohesion and finding suitable replacements. The Indians, which came up just one game short of making the state tournament last season, spent the last week in Foley at an ACE volleyball camp hosted by the University of West Florida. The camp helped teach some of the inexperienced Wetumpka players, and now Smith will spend time post-camp getting her team serious about positions and rotations before the season starts in August. “We’re a very young team,” Smith said. “We lost four seniors last year. We have a lot of young girls. I have some eighth graders and ninth graders on the varsity squad, so we are going to be in the famous rebuilding year I think.” The Indians didn’t lose as many players as other teams across the state did, but all four seniors from last year’s squad were starters. And two of them were All-Elmore County players.
Yennifer Gomez and Morgan Causey, the 2020 Elmore County Player of the Year, are both gone, and both presented a huge presence at the net for the Indians last year. Gomez led Wetumpka with 221 kills while also playing great defense with 570 digs on the year. Causey was right behind her in the middle of the court and had 206 kills and a team-high 84 blocks. Smith isn’t naive, and she knows some of the natural athleticism and production from last year’s seniors cannot be coached, but she is hoping her team will build depth across all players to help spread that production. Two of those players that will step in on the offensive side are junior hitters Khloe Harris and Madison Milton. “You have to put in a lot of work in the summer and in the gym and hope it pays off,” Smith said. “You just hope the kids have the determination to put in the work and achieve that.” And while the Indians lost four seniors, there are plenty of returning players who helped spark the team to a 15-10 record and their fourth-straight Area championship last year. Senior Erin Douglass is one of those players. The starting libero anchored the Wetumpka defense for the second
straight year and had 1,021 digs and 43 aces last season. She was named to the All-County team and will help the inexperienced Indians by always getting a solid first touch, Smith said. Douglass impressed at the ACE camp last week, and was given an award for her efforts. “It’s crucial,” Smith said of getting a player like Douglass back. “You need those players who have been in those tough situations and you need those players who can be a mentor to the players coming up and also know what it means to be a part of a successful program.” The Wetumpka team sets many goals before the season, and winning the Area championship is always one of those goals. And with just over a month until the Indians’ season opener against Houston Academy on August 19, Smith and her team will continue getting in shape and learning the game in order to keep that championship streak alive. “I have enough girls who are coming back from last year who are not about to try and drop that ball,” Smith said. “That would be the ultimate defeat. You just hope all the work that you’re putting in is going to make that be actualized.”
Way-too-early predicitons for the SEC West
M
aking prognostications before fall practice has even begun is a bit of a risky proposition. There are always some young players who mature greatly during the offseason and make a surprising jump up the depth chart. Unfortunately, there are also the inevitable injuries that sideline a few players during the preseason. Nevertheless, I’m climbing out on the proverbial limb and throwing down the gauntlet. Here’s how I see the Western Division order of finish in 2021. 1. Texas A&M (11-1; 7-1) – Jimbo Fisher has been loading up on talent for the past several years and the Aggies return nine starters to the No. 1 defense in the SEC in 2020. A&M gets
ANDY GRAHAM Columnistt Alabama at home in week 6. If they’re ever going to rise up and win the West, this is the year it will happen. 2. Alabama (11-1; 7-1) – The Tide have been the safest bet in all of sports over the last decade. They’ll be at the top again in 2021 and undoubtedly be in the playoff whether they win the SEC or not. The defense should be nasty and Bryce Young could very well be the
next great QB to come along, but the offense only returns three starters and the supporting cast isn’t as star-studded as the last few years. 3. Auburn (8-4; 4-4) – As usual, the Tigers are a bit of an enigma. No one really knows what to expect from Bryan Harsin and the new staff. Will Bo Nix take a big step forward? Will the offensive line be significantly better? Where do all the transfers fit in? Everyone has their opinions, but no one will really know until September. I believe there’s a logjam in the middle of the West. Auburn, Ole Miss and LSU beat each other and finish with the same record. See GRAHAM • Page B6

PUZZLES & HOROSCOPE ARIES (March 21-April 19) Work to get better organized today, but expect an interruption. Perhaps this interruption will lead to unexpected solutions or new ways of doing something. You might even introduce reforms to your job. Tonight: Potential confusion about health. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You want to have fun today! (Parents take note that this is a mildly accident-prone day for your kids, especially in the morning. So be vigilant.) The arts, sports and social occasions will Åourish today, but perhaps with a new spin on something. Tonight: Romance might disappoint. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) This has been a high-energy week; nevertheless, today you want to cocoon at home. You might have a serious heartto-heart talk with a female family member. Possibly, your home routine will change in the morning. A small appliance or a minor breakage might need attention. Eek. Tonight: Be forgiving and patient. CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22) Pay attention to everything you say and do, because this is a mildly accident-prone day for you. (Nothing has to happen if you are mindful.) Meanwhile, you might meet new people, see new places and dream up clever, bright new ideas. Tonight: Don’t believe everything you hear. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You are high-energy with Mars in your sign, even though you prefer to keep a low proÄle. Today, earnings, possessions and cash Åow might be your focus. Keep your eyes open, because something (especially this morning) might go awry. Guard against loss! Tonight: Double-check your Änances. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Today the Moon is in your sign, which is why you might be more emotional than usual. However, the good news is that when the Moon is in your sign (for two days every month), you are a bit luckier! Why not test this? Ask for what you want. Tonight: Confused communications. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
You are high-viz. People notice you, and they admire you right now. However, today you will prefer to take a backseat and hide if you can. Nevertheless, something might make you a bit uncomfortable or restless. Tonight: Double-check everything. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Today you will meet someone unusual, or someone you already know will do something you least expect. Whatever the case, it’s an unpredictable day. Fortunately, you look good to others because fair Venus is at high noon in your chart and you want adventure! Tonight: A friend might disappoint. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) There’s a strong likelihood that personal details about your private life are made public today. You are noticed and people are talking about you. Meanwhile, if you had your druthers, you would travel and get out of town because you need a change of scenery. Tonight: Be clear when talking to others. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Controversial subjects might create a kerfuɊe this morning. Or perhaps it’s something in the news. Instead, focus on beneÄting from the wealth of others, including Änancial institutions. This is a good day to ask for a loan or mortgage. A conversation with a partner could be important. Tonight: Verify your facts. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Continue to focus on your job and getting better organized, because this is a high priority for you now. Likewise, you might want to do something to improve your health. Partnerships are also important, because both Venus and Mars are opposite your sign. Tonight: Check Änancial data. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Today the Moon is opposite your sign, which means you have to go more than halfway when dealing with others. This is no biggie. It simply means you need to be cooperative. Meanwhile, be friendly and enjoy good times! Tonight: Be realistic in your expectations.

The Wetumpka Youth Baseball and Softball League is working to carry a strong spring over into fall.

continued from Page B1
The amount of fans and players at the ballpark, along with the concession stands now allowing debit/credit cards, allowed the WYBSL to make more money in 2 1/2 months this summer than the league had ever made in a calendar year, Fallin said. “We volunteer our time, 40-50 hours a week and put our hearts, souls and minds in everything we do to make this the best possible league that these kids and parents have seen in their lifetime,” Fallin said. “We work as a team together. We have amazing coaches and amazing board members, and that’s what makes us great and stand apart from the rest.” All the money that was made goes right back into the league and the Wetumpka Sports Complex. The league was able to put
money into improving the fields and batting cages, nearly fully fund the All-Star teams outside of a $25 joining fee, and is able to host the fall-ball league completely free of charge for anyone who wants to join. The fall league opened its registration on Sunday, completely free outside of a $10 shirt payment due before the first game, and registration will remain open until August 22. Softball will feature players from ages 6-18, while baseball will feature players from ages 6-12. Parents can register online at www.wetumpkayouthleague. com or can visit the Wetumpka Youth Baseball & Softball League Facebook page. Last season’s fall league had
350 participants, which was the largest in league history. But within eight hours of opening the free registration on Sunday night, the league had over 115 participants registered. As long as Fallin can get enough coaches to coach teams, there will be an unlimited amount of players allowed this fall. And with the amount of participants that registered within the first eight hours, Fallin believes they are going to crush last year’s record-setting amount of players. “Everyone is wanting to play fall ball in Wetumpka because we had a phenomenal spring,” Fallin said. “They came to our park and loved our complex and how we did things. We’re one of the only ones who do fall ball and we’re open to anyone and everyone.”

3. Ole Miss (8-4; 4-4) – Lane Kiffin has proven that he can put an offense on the field that churns out yards and scored a lot of points. He has yet to prove in Oxford that he can field an even remotely competent defense. The Rebels have 17 starters coming back off a team that played toe to toe with Alabama for four quarters. If QB Matt Corral plays with a little more consistency, he’ll be the class of the league. 3. LSU (8-4; 4-4) – Coach O has been caught up in some unseemly lawsuits during the offseason. The Tigers have lost some key players off last year’s team and they followed up a national championship season with a 5-5 record. Having said all that, it wouldn’t surprise me to see the Bayou Bengals bounce back in 2021, but I think mediocrity is a safer bet. 6. Miss State (5-7; 2-6) – Mike Leach and his Air Raid offense burst onto the scene last season hammering LSU in Baton Rouge to open the season. Of course, it was pretty much downhill after that. The Bulldogs return 16 starters from last year, but it remains to be seen if everyone has bought into the system. 7. Arkansas (4-8; 1-7) – I believe everyone was in agreement last season that Sam Pitman did an incredible job in Fayetteville. The record was only 3-7, but the Hogs looked completely revitalized and didn’t resemble in the least the hapless squad from the previous regime. Unfortunately, they are facing, by most accounts, the most difficult schedule in the country.

BAND CAMP

The band learned and practiced the field show prior to incorporating their instruments. There were a variety of instruments on display from flutes to xylophones while the flag corps also got practice in.
ECHS band preparing hair-raising halftime show By BRIANA WILSON Wetumpka Bureau Chief
A dedicated group of 120 Maroon Machine Marching Band members trekked ankle-deep in mud as they strived to perfect the field show that hundreds will soon see. Recent rains muddied the band’s practice field, but instead of complaining about their shoes and socks being completely covered in mud, they cheered in excitement because they were all having fun while working hard. For one week, July 12-16 from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. each day, the students learned the music and drills for the
upcoming field show. But in addition to that, Elmore County High School band director Anthony Vittore said the students were also learning important life skills. “They’re learning how to endure and how to adapt and overcome,” Vittore said. “We got thrown a curve ball with the rain and we’re having to cope with the current field condition. This is one of the most dedicated groups that I’ve have the pleasure of teaching.” Vittore said this year’s halftime show, titled Sandman’s Revenge, will be nightmarish. The show will begin with Metallica’s “Enter Sandman,” followed by “The Sound of Silence” by Disturbed.

There will be a drum feature before the show ends with “Bring Me To Life” by Evanescence. Vittore said the show will feature a special performance, props and special effects that you’ll have to attend a show to see. While this year’s field show is befitting given the several challenges students and teachers have overcome since the onset of the global pandemic, Vittore said Sandman’s Revenge was supposed to be the field show for last school year, but it had to be pushed back. Vittore mentioned that this year’s band camp staff includes several Maroon Machine alumni.
“We’re very blessed to have great leaders in our camp staff to help us out,” he said. Band camp staff members and sponsors include: -Megan Davis: flute sponsor -Dallas Hammond: clarinets and drum majors instructor -Tayler Taunton: dance team instructor -Jarrett Sims: drumline instructor -Karrie Nedervelt: percussion instructor -Jason Hammond: low brass instructor -Shad Steptoe: trumpets instructor Rachel Beth Lindley: majorettes sponsor Jean Czerpak: colorguard sponsor
