CARMEN RODGERS | THE HERALD

Wetumpka High School held a homecoming parade on Thursday ahead of their homecoming game against Chilton County last week. The Indians won the contest 21-7.

The 2nd annual Scramble for Breast Cancer was held Saturday, Oct. 9, at the Sports Complex in Wetumpka. During this Joy to Life Foundation fundraiser, participants scrambled to pick up the pink and white balls that were dropped from the Chambers County Sheriff’s Department helicopter. The winning balls were stamped with a pink breast cancer ribbon. Event sponsors donated thousands in cash and prizes for the fundraiser. The event was presented by Elmore CommuSee SCRAMBLE, Page A3

River Rose opens on Company Street

By CARMEN RODGERS Bureau Chief River Rose is now open in downtown Wetumpka.

Before making the move to Wetumpka, Sharon Wilson owned Rose of Sharon in Montgomery, but she and her husband Richard decided to swap the big city life for a more peaceful small-town setting.

“We moved here to retire,” Wilson said.

With help from friends, the business name also changed.

“We decided to change the name since we are now by the river,” Wilson said.

Wilson said she happy to have open a business in Wetumpka “I feel like this is smalltown USA, and I feel like I have moved back to America,” Wilson said. “The small-town values and morals. You don’t have the crime and the big city

The Wilsons moved to the Santuck area about four years ago and were driving 45 minutes twice a day to commute to Montgomery and back.

STAFF REPORT TPI Staff On Monday, Oct.18, in early celebration of World Polio Day, Rotary Districts in Alabama, Mississippi, Missouri, and Tennessee are partnering with Dunkin Donuts to host a fundraising event for End Polio Now! Through generous matching funds from Rotary Districts and the Gates Foundation each $2.50 donation becomes a total donation of $187.50 to help eradicate polio.

In the first 3 years, The Purple Pinkie Donut Project has generated more than $2,000,000 in donations to End Polio Now! The campaign’s goal is to raise another million this year.

In countries where the threat of polio remains high, every child under age 5 receives polio vaccine by mouth

twice per year during events called “National Immunizations Days”.

When vaccinating millions of children in a short period of tie it is possible to document which child has received the vaccine, so every child vaccinated has the little finger, or the pinkie finger, nail of their left hand painted purple with marker that doesn’t wash off for about a month.

Local communities recognize that children with “purple pinkies” will never get polio, which is cause for great celebration.

Over time the “Purple Pinkie” has become an international symbol of a polio free world.

Pre-order 10-count boxes of Purple Pinkie Donuts at www.purplepinkiedonuts.org Bulk orders can be placed through local Rotary clubs.

Muskogee Technology named top manufacturer in Alabama STAFF REPORT TPI Staff The Business Council of Alabama (BCA) in partnership with the Alabama Technology Institute (ATN) named Muskogee Technology (MT), a business owned by the Poarch Band of Creek Indians, 2021 Small Manufacturer of the Year. The Alabama Manufacturer of the Year Awards program recognizes the state’s top manufacturers.

Recipients were chosen by an independent panel of judges for their excellence in leadership, performance, profitability, and workforce relations.

“I want to congratulate Muskogee Technology’s CEO Wes Woodruff and the team at MT for their great work. The Tribe is always looking for ways to provide jobs to hard-

working Alabamians and MT is a great example of that,” Chairwoman and CEO for the Poarch Band of Creek Indians Stephanie A. Bryan said Muskogee Technology President/CEO Westly L. Woodruff stated, “We are extremely excited to be recognized by BCA for our hard work and dedication to Alabamians. MT is humbled by this recognition and attribute the award to our individual and collective dedication to excellence, fortitude, and perseverance throughout such a difficult time in our history while battling the COVID-19 pandemic.

We look forward to a safe and productive 2022, within and for the State of Alabama’s manufacturing sector.”

MT is an entity of the Poarch Band of Creek

Indians (PBCI) and a subsidiary of Creek Indian Enterprises Development Authority (CIEDA). MT employs over 75 people in Atmore. During the COVID-19 pandemic, they pivoted their business operations to producing Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) upon discovering a shortage in Alabama and surrounding State.

Muskogee Technology (MT) is owned by the Creek Indian Enterprises Development Authority (CIEDA), the economic development arm of the Poarch Band of Creek Indians (PCI.). MT provides a variety of services to meet the needs of the aerospace, defense, heavy machinery, wind energy, and oil and gas industries.

PCI is the only federally recognized tribe in Alabama.

Three in Bloom celebrates with ribbon cutting

By CARMEN RODGERS Bureau Chief Three in Bloom celebrated the move to 129 B Company Street in the downtown area Thursday with a ribbon-cutting. Owner Kandice Cox first started selling merchandise online. But as time went on, she knew a brick-and-mortar location was needed.

“It grew a lot quicker than I thought it would,” she said. “It’s always been a dream of mine and we just jumped into it.”

When HGTV’s Hometown Takeover aired, Cox said she knew the national exposure would make Wetumpka a tourist destination.

“Once HGTV came in and we saw how big that was, I knew we had to come here,” she said. “We have to snag something.”

Cox found exactly what she was seeking in a retail space on Company Street.

Now that she has a storefront, she is filling it with in-demand fashion pieces.

“Pretty much anything to do with women’s clothing,” Cox said. “Accessories, jewelry bags, belts. Hats, shoes, candles, backpacks, and women’s clothes, casual to really fancy.”

The apparel and accessories at Three in Bloom are fashion-forward

“Very high-quality brands,” Cox said.

In addition to unique fashion pieces, shoppers can find merchandise from Lake Jordan Candle Company inside Three in Bloom, as well as shirts featuring artwork created by local artist Honie Maddaloni.

“We will carry some of her paintings as well,” Cox said.

According to Cox, it is her passion for style that sets her boutique apart from others.

“My brand, my style. I know that I have something different,” Cox said.

“It’s the style.”

As a new business owner in downtown Wetumpka, Cox said she is looking forward to what the future holds for her at this new business.

“I am thankful for this opportunity.

I wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for the people who have supported me, and shop with me,” she said. “I look forward to being here for a while, giving back, growing with people, knowing people, networking,” she said.

Cox has a message for those who have not been to the new boutique on Company Street: “Come and shop,” she said. “Come enjoy downtown.”

Three in Bloom Boutique is open Monday-Saturday 10 a.m-5 p.m. and is closed on Sunday.

It’s time to leave the nest T

here are times in our lives when we need a change. That is where I am at right now.

Sometimes, being a small-town reporter can be more difficult than being a national news reporter.

Here’s why. In a small town, like Tallassee, everyone knows each other, and if you don’t know someone you probably know of them. That’s just small-town life.

When there is division in a small town, people are expected to take a side. That’s not who I am. As a reporter, I cannot take a side. The art of remaining unbiased is essential to great reporting and sometimes that is done best with a set of fresh eyes.

With all this said, you will see a new reporter in town. For a while anyway.

I am heading over to Wetumpka to

CARMEN RODGERS Bureau Chief help out at The Herald for the time being. I am looking forward to this move.

I started my first “real” job in journalism right here at the Tallassee Tribune. Since 2016, this newspaper has been my baby. I dedicated myself to it, tended to it, and watched it grow and flourish.

I was born in Tallassee way back when the hospital had a labor and delivery ward, and though I did not spend all of my childhood in Tallassee, I could not have picked a better

place than here to work. It was like coming home.

Tallassee always will be home.

This is not goodbye. This is only until you see me again, which will be often and probably sooner than later.

It feels as though I am leaving the nest, and maybe I am. But it was the Tallassee community that gave me the courage to take such a step. When I started working here, this community welcomed me back with open arms. You all taught me so much. I learned things about my own family that I didn’t know. I have gained so much thanks to this community and for that, I will be forever grateful.

What does the future hold? I am not certain, but I do know one thing: only time will tell.

Prison issue tackled, new prisons on the way

T

he problem of overcrowded prisons is a dilemma that has been facing Alabama for close to a decade. It was not something that Kay Ivey created.

She simply inherited the situation and the chickens have some home to roost during her tenure. To her credit, she did not hide from the issue. She has tackled it head on and with gusto and resolve. She and the legislature were and are under the gun because the U.S. Justice Department is breathing down their necks to resolve the inequities and unconstitutional conditions in our prisons.

When you get into a scenario where the Justice Department adamantly demands some concrete resolutions, you have to act.

Otherwise, they will take over the state’s prison system, mandate the resolutions, and hand you the bill.

Just ask California. The Justice Department is not only building new prisons at the Golden State’s expense, but also releasing a good many of their prisoners. The bottom line is if the Justice Department will mandate and take over the California Prison System, you can bet your bottom dollar that they will do the same to Alabama.

We have been down this path before. Years ago in the 1960s during all the segregation and civil rights wars raging in the Heart of Dixie, the federal courts took over Alabama’s prison system. Governor George Wallace and Justice Frank Johnson were law school classmates and friends. Johnson was married to his lovely wife, Ruth Jenkins while in law school.

Ruth was an excellent cook, and they would have George over for dinner. Their friendship ended

STEVE FLOWERS Columnist when they clashed over civil rights and integration. Johnson handed down most of the rulings that integrated schools and other institutions throughout the state, while Wallace lambasted Johnson daily as a scalawaging, carpet bagging, integrating liberal.

Wallace won the demagogic battle and rode it to being governor for eternity. However, Johnson and the federal courts won the war.

Judge Johnson took over the state prisons and the bill was so costly that it took the State of Alabama 25 years to dig out of the financial hole.

Kay Ivey is old enough to remember this disastrous solution for Alabama. That is probably why she took the bull by the horns and declared boldly in her State of the State address over two years ago that this is an Alabama problem and we need to find an Alabama solution.

Governor Kay Ivey and probably more importantly the state legislature has worked to resolve this imminent and pressing problem.

This current Special Session called

by Governor Ivey to address the need for new prisons will more than likely resolve the issue for at least the next 25 to 30 years.

The legislative leadership and governor have worked prudently and harmoniously to implement a solution to this prison overcrowding issue. This joint success

follows months of negotiations between Ivey and legislative leaders in determining the scope and scale of the project. The two General Fund Budget Chairmen, Representative Steve Clouse and Senator Greg Albritton deserve a lot of credit and accolades for orchestrating the pieces of the puzzle.

Ivey and legislators knew that the gravity of the situation required the governor calling a Special Session.

The solution will be to build two new men’s prisons with at least 4,000 beds, one in Elmore County and one in Escambia County, in addition to a new 1,000-bed women’s correctional facility in Elmore County. The new Elmore men’s facility will provide enhanced medical and mental health, substance abuse and educational programming as suggested by the Justice Department.

The two new men’s prisons will cost an estimated $1.2 billion and the women’s prison and renovations of existing prisons will cost between $600 to $700 million. The prisons will be paid for by a $785 million bond issue. The salvation for the plan was the state receiving $400 million from the federal American Recovery Plan ACT (“ARPA”), which was like manna from heaven.

The heroes for their area and constituents were Senator Greg Albritton of Escambia and Senator Clyde Chambliss of Elmore, who won the new prisons for their people. These prisons are an economic bonanza for Elmore and Escambia. Chambliss got two.

Hopefully, this will resolve this issue for at least a few decades.

We will see.

See you next week.

ELECTRIC CARS

EV WORD FIND

Electric cars are vehicles that run on battery power, as opposed to gasoline. Sometimes called EV’s, electric cars are becoming more common today to reduce fossil fuel emissions and help the environment. Some electric cars are called hybrids—they run on electric power or can be switched to gas power. EV’s do not require fuel, but instead they are charged with electricity by being plugged into an outlet. Most people probably think of electric vehicles as a very modern invention, but they were actually first used in the late 1800’s! In 1890, a chemist from Des Moines, Iowa, by the name of William Morrison created the first electric vehicle. It could carry six people and went 14 miles per hour. By 1900, electric vehicles were more popular than gas-powered cars. New York City had 60 electric taxis. Many people preferred electric cars, as they were easier to drive than gas-powered cars, they did not create exhaust that smelled, and they were much quieter than the alternative. Because the roads in the early 1900’s were not well-paved and did not work well for cars past the cities, the small range that an electric car had was not a problem. As cities and road systems grew, the need for cars that went further grew and by the 1930’s, EV’s were no longer used. In the 1960’s, interest in electric cars began to grow again. In 1976, Congress passed Wetumpka the Electric and Hybrid Vehicle Research, Development, and Demonstration Act Pagethe United States Energy Department to research new technology whichKidz supported for electric vehicles. In 1990, the Clean Air Act further pushed companies to develop electric car technology. Today, the interest in EV’s has grown exponentially. Some popular electric cars are the Toyota Prius, Honda Insight, and the Nissan Leaf. Tesla is a manufacturer that produces only electric vehicles. In order to help the environment, many other automakers are creating their own line of EV’s. Better charging technology and further range have made electric cars here to stay.

Support our Humane Societies at the Alabama National Fair

By REA CORD HSEC Executive Director You have one more opportunity to have fun at the Alabama National Fair and support the three area Animal Shelters on Friday, Oct. 15 where you can get halfprice admission for only $5 (regular admission is $10) if you bring a donation of dry or canned pet food, pet toys, blankets or towels with you. These donations will be shared by the three area shelters – Humane Society of Elmore County, Prattville-Autauga Humane Society and Montgomery Humane Society. Please thank the Kiwanis Club of Montgomery members and Alabama National Fair for thinking of the area Animal Shelters like this and for their hard work

making the Alabama National Fair such success As a non-profit organization there are two groups of people critical to our success – donors and volunteers. We are truly blessed with a huge support base and are humbled by the support we receive on a daily basis in terms of financial support; donations of food, cleaning supplies, pet supplies, bedding to the Shelter and all the donations to our Thrift Store. And while donations are absolutely critical, we also do our part and work very hard as a Society at our own fund-raising through multiple venues, the most important being our Tail’s End Thrift Store.

Our store is actually a quite large and very labor-intensive operation that is run 100% by Volunteers. Besides being

open for shopping three days a week (Thu, Fri & Sat 9-3) there is plenty of work to be done on other days sorting, pricing and moving donations so this means there are Volunteer opportunities throughout the week. As with any organization Volunteers come and go, so we are always on the lookout for more to help spread the workload. If you can carve out a few hours perhaps one day/week to come help on a weekly basis we would love for you to stop by. The Thrift Store is a great place to help and the Volunteers there are truly a tight-knit Volunteer Family! If you are interested but want more info, just email the shelter at hselco@bellsouth. net or send a Facebook message to the Shelter (Humane Society of Elmore County),

or the Thrift Store has its own Facebook page: Tail’s End Thrift Store for the Humane Society of Elmore County.

Volunteering in our Thrift Store is helping our animals as all of the proceeds from sales there come straight to our shelter to help our funding and our work caring for 300+ animals every day.

And you can always come over for a break from the Thrift Store to visit our pets and see how your efforts are making a positive difference.

For everyone who donates and shops at our Thrift Store, please also thank our Volunteers for their endless hard work on behalf of all the pets we want to help now and long into the future.

Our Humane Society’s Annual Meeting is coming up on Tue, 19 October, 6 pm,

Wetumpka Civic Center, 410 S. Main St, Wetumpka, AL 36092. We will be reviewing our accomplishments in the past year, voting for our Executive Board members, and looking ahead to 2022. Hope to see you there!

For our supporters who work for the Alabama State Government and want to donate financially, no better way than through the 2021 Alabama State Combined Campaign (SCC) and our Agency Code is 106803. The SCC is critical to Alabama non-profits and helps make donating to deserving charities easy either one time or via monthly payroll deduction. We want to thank all who so generously donate to help not only our shelter, but non-profit agencies everywhere.

Alabama gas prices have risen 10.9 cents per gallon in the past week, averaging $2.98/g today, according to GasBuddy’s daily survey of 3,348 stations in Alabama. Gas prices in Alabama are 14.7 cents per gallon higher than a month ago and stand $1.09/g higher than a year ago.

According to GasBuddy price reports, the cheapest station in Alabama is priced at $2.42/g today while the most expensive is $3.49/g, a difference of $1.07/g. The lowest price in the state today is $2.42/g while the highest is $3.49/g, a difference of $1.07/g.

The national average price of gasoline has risen 5.2 cents per gallon in the last week, averaging $3.25/g today.

The national average is up 7.5 cents per gallon from a month ago and stands $1.08/g higher than a year ago.

Neighboring areas and their current gas prices: Birmingham- $2.95/g, up 11.4 cents per gallon from last week’s $2.83/g.

Montgomery- $3.07/g, up 14.9 cents per gallon from last week’s $2.92/g.

Huntsville- $2.95/g, up 9.6 cents per gallon from last week’s $2.85/g.

“Last week saw oil prices advance to their highest in seven years, with a barrel of West Texas Intermediate crude oil surpassing the critical $80 per barrel level. The nation’s gas prices were also pushed to their highest since 2014, all on OPEC’s decision not to raise production more than it already agreed to in July,” said Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis for GasBuddy. “The OPEC decision caused an immediate reaction in oil prices, and amidst what is turning into a global energy crunch, motorists are now spending over $400 million more on gasoline every single day than they were just a year ago.

The problems continue to relate to a surge in demand as the global economy recovers, combined with deep cuts to production from early in the pandemic. If Americans can’t slow their appetite for fuels, we’ve got no place for prices to go but up.”

Historical gasoline prices in Alabama and the national average going back ten years: October 11, 2020: $1.89/g (U.S. Average: $2.16/g) October 11, 2019: $2.29/g (U.S. Average: $2.64/g) October 11, 2018: $2.63/g (U.S. Average: $2.90/g) October 11, 2017: $2.28/g (U.S. Average: $2.47/g) October 11, 2016: $2.10/g (U.S. Average: $2.25/g) October 11, 2015: $2.03/g (U.S. Average: $2.31/g) October 11, 2014: $3.02/g (U.S. Average: $3.21/g) October 11, 2013: $3.17/g (U.S. Average: $3.33/g) October 11, 2012: $3.56/g (U.S. Average: $3.81/g) October 11, 2011: $3.25/g (U.S. Average: $3.39/g) 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 transactions at 100,000 stations and the Lundberg Survey, updated once every two weeks based on 7,000 gas 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.

Color the Town Pink Walk raises awareness for breast cancer

By CARMEN RODGERS Bureau Chief The City of Wetumpka along with the Joy to Life Foundation held the annual Color the Town Pink Walk on Thursday, Oct. 7.

Participants gathered at the Wetumpka Civic Center, 410 S. Main Street, at noon on Thursday for the walk.

According to event coordinator Valencia Johnson, about 40 people participated in the walk and balloon release.

“It was great,” Johnson. “The weather was good. Everything went as planned.”

Before the walk began, attendees had

the opportunity to meet and hear from members of the Joy to Life Foundation and a special guest.

The group walked along the Riverwalk to Gold Star Park where they released pink balloons in honor of breast cancer survivors and in remembrance of those who lost their lives to the disease.

The guest speaker was Heather Delauder who shared her personal story about breast cancer with those in attendance.

“We all know someone who has been affected by breast cancer. We hold this walk to bring awareness in our community and to let people know that we are here to help. We think it’s

important to bring awareness and let the citizens of Wetumpka know that they are not alone. They can always reach out to us and we can help them in the best way we see possible,” Johnson said.

Winn Dixie provided refreshments for the Color the Town Pink Walk.

Founded in 2001, the Joy to Life Foundation is a nonprofit that provides free mammograms and other breast cancer screenings to medically underserved women in Alabama. The organization also provides grants, builds and supports breast cancer awareness statewide and promotes overall health, well-being and education in Alabama.

Comic shop opens during pandemic

By CLIFF WILLIAMS Staff Writer Anybody into comics knows Steve Rogers is a veteran from WWII and Captain America in comic books.

But Steve Rogers, a veteran of Afghanistan, Bosnia and Iraq, has been operating Dreamcatcher Comics and Collectables as a storefront for almost four months in downtown Tallassee.

Rogers loves his comics, keeping up with all the villains, superheroes and more, but opening a comic bookstore wasn’t on his radar. Then the COVID-19 pandemic hit.

“If you would have asked me about opening a comic store two years ago I would have laughed at you,” Rogers said. “Everyone rediscovered their childhood during the pandemic. We all went to our computers looking for things to do. Collectors in general started looking, ‘I wonder how Beanie Babies are doing?’ People started buying back their childhood.

“I was also watching. I bought a tape for $5 and yesterday it was $3 and tomorrow it was $10. I started buying a few things I wouldn’t ordinarily buy.”

Rogers saw an opportunity and took a risk opening a store during a pandemic selling of all things comic books in downtown Tallassee.

“I started looking into more and said this is a viable option,” Rogers said. “If you have been in quarantine and something opens in your backyard, you are going to go.”

Rogers opened Dreamcatcher Comics and Collectables for the June sidewalk

CLIFF WILLIAMS | THE HERALD

Customers look over the most recent comics to be delivered to Dreamcatcher Comics and Collectables in Tallassee.

prematurely as his store wasn’t quite ready.

“We were going to be the only business not open,” Rogers said. “We had vendors on either side of us.

We opened up not expecting many folks in a place that looked nothing like it does now. There were very few new comics. I was nervous. I have spent time in Afghanistan, Bosnia, Iraq, I was more nervous here on opening day than there.”

The customers have arrived and Rogers hasn’t taken a day off since.

“It went well,” Rogers said. “A lot of good stuff was said on social media and it has continued every single day.”

Some of Rogers’ customers had traveled to Montgomery and other cities to buy comics. Some customers are getting back into comics after leaving for a few years because there was nowhere local to buy them. It is those customers that keep Rogers motivated to stay a viable business.

“When we opened up some customers started collecting again and we helped them get stuff they missed,” Rogers said. “If we closed, that affects him, they would have to go back to Mont-

gomery.”

The comic books are not the cheaply print newsprint issues of the 60s, 70s and 80s. Now comics have new story lines, some tied to movies and television shows.

Most have the stories inside but publishers have figured out variant covers trigger more sales.

“We do have a lot more variants than when we first opened,” Rogers said.

“Someone might not buy Spiderman but there may be an artist they follow and will want that cover. By offering more covers, people may want more.”

The weekly shipment of comics has created a feeding frenzy only superheroes, villains and comics can quell.

Rogers chums the water on social media previewing on Tuesdays soon to be stocked comic books.

“For some of these guys, it’s the night before Christmas,” Rogers said. “I used to put out photos of comics the day they are available but have started doing it the night before. We get phone calls, emails and texts wanting this one or that, I’ll ask ‘is that all?’ A few minutes later comes the text wanting something else.”

Rogers figured out there

River Region

was a need to expand his offerings in the first four months. Quickly Rogers assembled an anime/manga room.

“I got tired of watching money walking out the door,” Rogers said. “Nowhere in Alabama is there an Anime/manga store.

Most stuff is at book stores.

Traditionally about one shelf and that is it. Comic stores traditionally don’t carry a lot of it.”

Those customers were buying online. Those customers now come to Rogers’ shop for more than just a book or movie.

“We had Demon Slayer chopsticks,” Rogers said.

“They sold by the end of the day. We have anime/ manga facemasks, backpacks, tshirts, as long as it is connected to their favorite anime/manga, they buy it.

That is why we got involved.

They had nowhere to go. We had room here. If it works, great. It has worked into our favor.”

Rogers has expanded to include tabletop games such as Magic and Dungeons and Dragons (D&D).

“These guys have to drive to Montgomery,” Rogers said. “Some are married and their wives are are not letting five or six or their buddies come over to 3 or 4 in the morning to play.”

Now Rogers has tables set up in the back for games on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays.

With space starting to be at a premium in Dreamcatcher Comics and Collectables, Rogers has a plan for expansion but not necessarily with comics or anime/manga.

There is a vacant space next door but Rogers isn’t ready to take it on just yet.

“We are going to keep go-

ing here until we are bursting at the seams,” Rogers said.

“As much as I would like to do it right now, as much as they would like us to do it right now, I can’t rely on 9 to 10 people to open it up, plus you open up another can of worms.”

Customers have already started to congregate at Rogers’ shop. One customer referred to the comics as his drug and enjoying meeting others into comics and more.

And Rogers is fine with the customers learning more about each other.

“There have been times when customers finish paying and go to the table and discuss stuff,” Rogers said.

“The running joke is this is Tallassee’s bar. I’m waiting for the first phone call from

a wife asking if her husband is here — hold on, it has already happened.”

It’s still a new business and Rogers understands it has to make a profit to stay open but he isn’t trying to gouge either. It’s more about the new friends he’s made and even hosted a birthday party for in his first months.

“We are still kind of hand to mouth, it’s a brand new business,” Rogers said. “Closing, you let a lot of people down. Unlike Walmart and some other stores, you do build a rapport with your customer. If this were to close tomorrow, I wouldn’t like the fact we failed in business but I would be more hurt because I have customers I feel I would have let down.”

Holtville, Tallassee clash in region showdown

By DALTON MIDDLETON Sports Editor

W JAKE ARTHUR | THE TRIBUNE

Friday’s game will break a tie between Holtville and Tallassee for second place in the region.

hen the Tallassee and Holtville football teams meet on the gridiron this Friday night, playoff seeding implications are imminent.

Holtville hosts Tallassee this Friday at 7 p.m. in a Class 5A, Region 4 matchup.

Both teams are sitting at 3-1 in region play and both have already clinched a

Tournament to determine playoff berth

playoff berth.

The two teams are in a three-way tie for second place in the division. Both of them, along with Sylacauga, are 3-1 in region play while Central-Clay County has already won the region championship with a 5-0 region record.

The winner of Holtville and Tallassee will have a chance to host a home playoff game, while the loser will likely hit the road in the first round in a few weeks.

“Last year, this was the point of the season when COVID hit and we were forced to forfeit against Talladega and Holtville,” Tallassee coach Mike Battles said. “That forced us out of the playoffs.

Now we are in the playoffs and every game we win from here on out gets us a better seeding. It’s a big game.”

Short-handed Wetumpka spoils Stanhope’s Senior Night

Stanhope, Benjamin Russell volleyball among competitors

By DALTON MIDDLETON Sports Editor As volleyball teams across the state prepare for area volleyball tournaments this week, Stanhope Elmore and head coach Flavia Freeney are fighting for a playoff spot.

Stanhope enters the Class 6A, Area 5 tournament, hosted at Wetumpka, as the No. 3 seed. The Lady Mustangs will face No. 2 seed Benjamin Russell at 4:30 p.m. with a playoff berth on the line.

The winner of the game will punch their ticket to the playoffs and face No. 1 seed Wetumpka at 6 p.m., while the loser is eliminated from the tournament and their season is over.

“We played a heck of a game against Ben Russell a few weeks ago, and I really feel that every match we’ve played this year we’ve gotten better,” Freeney said. “It’s been amazing. We had a late start, but these girls have gotten so much better. I really feel like we have a good shot at winning.”

Stanhope went 0-4 in area play this year, but the Lady Panthers were not an easy win for opponents Wetumpka and Ben Russell.

In the two matches between Ben Russell and Stanhope, Ben Russell went 2-0.

But neither match was a sweep, and Ben Russell ended up winning both of them 3-1. Freeney said both times they’ve played, she’s seen her team start playing the way Ben Russell wanted to play, and that put them in a hole early.

Since the last game against Ben

By DALTON MIDDLETON Sports Editor The Wetumpka volleyball team was without its starting senior libero last Thursday, but that didn’t stop the Lady Indians from playing spoiler to Stanhope Elmore’s Senior Night.

Wetumpka beat Stanhope, 3-0 (26-24, 25-19, 2519) in each of the team’s last regular season game.

The next game for each team will come on Thursday in the area tournament at Wetumpka.

Senior Erin Douglass, one of Wetumpka’s best players and starting libero, was not in attendance for the win due to personal reasons. In her place, head coach DeAnna Smith started eighth grader Ashlynn Turner, and the Lady Indians rallied around the youngster.

“We were able to pull that one out,” Smith said.

“The fact that we had to throw in an eighth grader at starting libero for the first time ever and in an area game on their senior night with lots of emotions, I’m proud of the way we stepped up and played. It shows we are able to fight. Even with adversity, they aren’t going to quit on each other and that’s important.”

It was a total team effort for Wetumpka.

The Lady Indians were led by outside hitter Khloe Harris, like usual, but the rest of the team stepped up when needed time after time. Harris finished the three-set match with a team-high 15 kills and 3 service aces.

Alongside her, junior Julie Boshell had six kills and five aces, senior Leah Richardson had five kills and one ace, sophomore Star Angier had four kills, and junior Madison Milton had six kills and two aces.

“I was proud of it. We can’t be a one-trick pony so the fact that the setters were able to set the ball around and it seemed like every single hitter stepped up. I was really, really pleased with it. Khloe is a baller. She’s a gamer and has good vision. She has a love for the game and won’t ever go out without a fight.”

While Wetumpka won the match, 3-0, Stanhope

Stanhope Elmore football hosting undefeated Helena in region matchup

By DALTON MIDDLETON Sports Editor Coming off its mid-season open week, the Stanhope Elmore football team and head coach Brian Bradford face their toughest test of the year this Friday.

Stanhope will play host to undefeated Helena in a Class 6A, Region 3 matchup. The Huskies are 8-0 this year with a 5-0 record in region play. They have already clinched the region championship.

Stanhope is 4-3 this season with a 2-2 record in region play. The Mustangs are currently in a three-way tie with both Calera and Wetumpka for third place in the region.

Stanhope lost to Calera two weeks ago 20-3, but had its bye week last week to regroup after the loss.

“Our bye week was good. It’s always good to have a bye week in the middle of the season,” Bradford said.

“It just helps get everyone rested and helps get some of the hurt guys a little bit healthier. Lets all the bumps and bruises get healed up.”

Helena, led by head coach Richie Busby in his fourth season, is one of only three undefeated teams left in Class 6A this season, joining Hartselle and Clay-Chalkville. The Huskies have flexed their muscles on both sides of the ball this year.

The Huskies have three games this year where their offense has scored

40+ points, and they’re averaging 36.4 points per game this year. They have scored 30+ in all but two games this year, and their lowest scoring game came in a 20-10 win over Wetumpka to begin region play.

On the defensive side of the ball, it has been an up-and-down season for the Huskies. They have two shutouts this year, one in the opener and one against Benjamin Russell, but they have also allowed 34 points or more in three of their last four games.

The Huskies are allowing 19.8 points per game on the season, but are allowing 32.5 ppg during the last month. One of those games was a

48-40 win over Chilton County, a team Stanhope beat 34-13.

“Helena is really, really good of course,” Bradford said. “They’re really big and physical and play hard. They don’t make mistakes and are very well coached. It’s going to be a very tough challenge for us, but I feel like we are up to it. We will have to play a mistake-free game to compete with them.”

Stanhope’s offense will have some chances to score, and the Mustangs must play better on that side of the ball in order to win the game.

In Stanhope’s last game, the Mustangs were held without a touchdown for the second time this year.

Calera beat Stanhope 20-3 on Oct. 1. It was the worst offensive output this year since the Week 2 loss to Prattville.

In the other five games outside of Calera and Prattville, Stanhope is averaging 30 points per game on offense. The

Mustangs’ offense begins with running back Antonio Trone, but first-year quarterback Jacob Bryant and receiver Jackson Thomas have continued to improve their chemistry this year.

“We just have to finish drives this week.

We moved the ball very well against Calera, we just didn’t finish drives.

We had a 14-play drive where we didn’t score.

We moved the ball and had over 40 plays in that first half, but we only had three points. We have to finish our drives and

have to improve on it this week.”

Despite the loss, Stanhope’s defense has continued to play at a high level this year. The Mustangs are allowing only 16.6 points per game, and they have not allowed over 29 points in a game all season.

They have not allowed over 20 points in a region game this year, and have allowed exactly 20 in three division games.

They’ll certainly be tested this week as they try to keep their postseason hopes alive.

loss of the season to Clay-Central, but the Bulldogs have a 5-2 record on the year. Holtville won its first game of the season via forfeit, and after losing to West Blocton in a non-region game, reeled off four wins in a row.

The Bulldogs have been solid in all three phases of the game this year, but their defense has stepped up week after week. Holtville allows only 20.9 points per game this year and allowed only 16 ppg during their four-game win streak before last week.

The Bulldogs are led by linebacker Mikey Forney, who has 81 tackles already this year. That is good for 7th best in the state of Alabama. On the defensive line is Cooper Mann, who has 7 sacks and 30 tackles this year.

Battles has been impressed with Holtville’s defense on film and said the Bulldogs don’t miss assignments very much and can cause mismatches with how physical they play.

“They play really hard and they are always where they’re supposed to be,” Battles said. “We are going to have to go out and actually block them, cause they’re not going to get out of our way. They’re very physical and we know what we’re getting into.

They’re a blue-collar team and they’re always going to be where they need to be. You aren’t faking or fooling them on defense.”

To match Holtville’s defense,

did not go down without a fight.

The two teams went back and forth for much of the first set. Wetumpka led 20-15 and 24-21, but Stanhope battled back with two blocks to tie it at 24. After a Richardson kill, Stanhope hit the ball into the net and Wetumpka took a 1-0 lead.

The Lady Indians controlled momentum from that point on. Wetumpka led by more than five points much of the second set, and got to set point with a 24-14 lead.

Stanhope, however, fought back once again with five consecutive points, but could

Jalyn Daniels races for the end zone against Elmore County earlier this season.

Tallassee’s sports an extremely dangerous and dynamic offense. Led by the speedy Jalyn Daniels at running back, the Tigers are averaging 33 ppg and are two or three plays away from being undefeated at this point of the year.

Tallassee (4-2) has two losses by a combined six points; one came on a Hail Mary pass as time expired.

Tallassee’s offense, which can line up in multiple formations including a wildcat with Daniels at quarterback instead of Tyler Ellis, has scored over 33 points in five of their six games.

In region play so far, the Tigers are averaging 38 ppg.

“Their offense runs through Jalyn, either in their single-wing wildcat stuff they do or even running their jets and their normal run game,” Holtville coach Jason Franklin said. “Jalyn is a really, really good ballplayer and a tough kid. You have to account for him to stop, but the Ellis kid has

not get it any closer than 2419 before Wetumpka took a 2-0 lead.

“They fought really hard tonight,” Stanhope coach Flavia Freeney said. “Our girls are tremendous. They are really the most amazing group of ladies and they have that resiliency.

They support each other so much and I’ve always been amazed at this group of girls.

They pick each other up and support each other.”

Much like the second set, Wetumpka controlled the third set as well. The Lady Indians held a 14-12 lead midway through, but went on a 7-0 run to stretch their lead out to 21-12.

Up 22-14 just a few points later, Stanhope fought

done a really good job throwing the ball and running the offense, and he’s mobile. They have plenty of kids you have to prepare for.”

As good as Daniels and the Tallassee offense has been, the Tallassee defense has played just as well. The Tigers have allowed only 17 combined points in their last three games, and they shut out an opponent last week for the first time since 2018.

Battles said his team is communicating more and no longer giving up the big plays they were early in the year, and that’s exactly what Franklin has seen on film so far.

“They’ve been playing well and they’re getting pressure from their down three,” Franklin said. “Their linebackers are playing well and they don’t give up big plays. They keep everything in front and give you a few different looks, so you have to prepare from anything from a 3-man front to a 6-man front.”

back with five straight points, four of which came on Saiban Chappell service aces.

After cutting it to 22-19, Wetumpka scored three straight to claim the 3-0 win.

The loss was probably the last home game for eight Stanhope seniors. Before the game, Campbell, Kennedy Rudolph, Rylie Grimes, Kelbi Johnson, MacKenzie Foshee, Anna Wilson, Marissa Stephens and Jerrica Word were honored in a very emotional Senior Night festivities.

This was Freeney’s first year coaching volleyball for Stanhope, but she’s been around this group of seniors for the last few years and came to tears trying to de-

Russell on Sept. 28, Freeney’s team has improved and she hopes to prove that on Thursday afternoon.

“I think we just have to be settled,” Freeney said. “We have to settle down and play our game. It seems like when we go against heavy hitters like Wetumpka or Ben Russell, we start playing their game and having to catch up. We just have to play our game.”

The winner goes on to face No. 1 seed Wetumpka in the championship, and the Lady Indians are in an interesting position right now.

Because of the area only being a threeteam area, Wetumpka has already clinched a playoff spot by earning the No. 1 seed in the tournament. The Lady Indians are 22-15 this year and have swept through the area.

They beat Stanhope 3-0 in both matches this year and beat Ben Russell 3-0 and 3-1 in their two area matchups. They played a third time, in the Elmore County Block Party Tournament, where Wetumpka won 2-1.

Wetumpka, however, may be without one of its best players this week. Starting senior libero Erin Douglass missed last week’s game against Stanhope Elmore due to personal reasons, and her timetable for

scribe what this class meant to her.

“This is just such an amazing group of ladies,” Freeney said while tearing up. “They have my heart.”

The two teams will hit the volleyball court again on Thursday for the area tournament held at Wetumpka high school.

No. 3 seed Stanhope and No. 2 seed Benjamin Russell will play at 4:30 p.m. on Thursday in the first round.

The winner of that game will not only go on to face Wetumpka in the area championship, but will also punch its ticket to the playoffs.

Due to being the No. 1 seed in only a three-team area, Wetumpka has already clinched a playoff berth.

return is currently unknown.

Douglass is an All-County player from a year ago, and if she is out again, eighth grader Ashlynn Turner will step in like she did last week and play the libero position.

“We will see how practice goes this week and we are going to see what we can do about our lineup,” Wetumpka coach DeAnna Smith said.

In Class 5A, Area 6, the Elmore County Lady Panthers are looking to win their 12th consecutive area tournament. The Lady Panthers (16-7, 5-1) have hosted the area tournament 12 consecutive years, and they earned the No. 1 seed again this season.

Elmore County will play No. 4 Holtville, who went winless in area play, in the first round of the tournament on Thursday at 3:30 p.m.

Following that game, No. 2 seed Jemison and No. 3 Marbury will play in the semifinals. The two teams that advance out of the semifinals will play in the championship and advance to the playoffs.

Elmore County beat Holtville twice already this season, both times in a 3-0 sweep. The Lady Panthers only lost one area game all year, a 3-2 loss to Jemison.

The two teams split on the year.

In Class 5A, Area 5, Tallassee will try to punch their ticket to the playoffs. The area tournament is held at Brewbaker Tech, and the No. 3 seed Lady Tigers will face No. 2 seed Pike Road at 3 p.m. for a chance to advance in the bracket.

The Red Hill Preservation Association is inviting former alumni and descendants to a reunion Oct. 17.

Red Hill School reunion set for Oct. 17

By CARMEN RODGERS Bureau Chief The Red Hill Historical Preservation Association is looking forward to sponsoring a reunion at the old Red Hill School, Sunday, Oct. 17, from 1-4 p.m.

“We invite any former alumni of the old school, community members, anyone interested in the old Red Hill School to come and join in the fun and delicious food catered by Debra Roberson,” Castleberry said.

According to Castleberry, relatives of those who attended the Red Hill School are already planning to attend the reunion.

“We are expecting descendants of the Kennedy and Griffith families from Texas, Arizona and South Carolina to be there,” she said.

The Red Hill Schoolhouse has a deep history in the area. Over the years hundreds of students graduated from the K-12

school.

Alabama Power employees created a village that became the Red Hill community during the construction of Martin Dam; the first Red Hill School opened in 1913.

It was a wooden structure that served the community until 1927 when a new brick schoolhouse was constructed. It served the community until 1966. Today efforts are ongoing to restore the building.

Fundraisers like last month’s Spaghetti Dinner help fund restorations to the historic school building. The Spaghetti Dinner raised nearly $2000. Organizers served more than 160 plates.

“We are grateful for the many businesses and individuals who helped,” Castleberry said. “This will be a big help to the RHHPA with maintenance of the old school.”
