Football fun for all This time of year is so exciting for so many people. Every Friday local teams battle for wins and bragging rights. And, this season has not disappointed. We have seen so many great games so far this season that we felt it necessary to deliver an update in the pages of Lake Wedowee Life. We have seen teams compete to the best of their abilities as well as rise to the challenges adversity has brought their way. Clay County and Lineville battled for bragging rights in the last ever Clay Bowl and thousands were on hand to witness one of the hardest fought games of the series. I had the pleasure to work the game and all I can say is WOW! The stadium was electrified with the energy from both sides of the field from the bands and cheerleaders to the diehard fans that were there hours before kickoff. It was a hard fought battle that as an outsider you hated to see either team lose. The underlying tone of the game could be felt throughout as well. As the final seconds counted down, you could feel that it was not just the end of the game, it was so much more. As the buzzer sounded, not only was the game over but so was the rivalry. Next year, the teams will join as one to play as the Central High School Volunteers of Clay County. It will be different and strange at first, but new rivalries will be born and new traditions will be made. Because in Clay County, tradition NEVER dies‌ I would also like to thank the wonderful photographers that helped make the Friday Night Life update possible.

Creative Crafting Spooky Crafts
By Amanda Causey
Halloween is one of my favorite times of year. I love creating crafts and spooky things to decorate my son’s room. I have put together three of my favorites and will give brief instructions on making each of them. To view each of these crafts in their entirety, please visit www.LakeWedoweeLife.net and look for Creative Crafting. Enjoy making these spooky crafts with your family or friends and if you have a photo you would like to submit of your creative crafting please send to info@lakewedoweelife.com and we will share it online!
Mice Infested Pumpkin This craft is pretty simple and can be done with out too much instruction. One tip I will point out is to always carve your pumpkins by cutting a hole in the bottom rather than the top. It gives it more balance and prevents the top from falling in if you light it from the inside.
Googly Eyed Frame
The Raven
Get a cheap photo frame or one you have laying around the house. Spray paint it black, and let it dry. Use an adhesive (glue, modge podge, etc) to cover the frame. Apply your googly eye varieties to the adhesive. Decorate as desired and insert a spooky photo or create one with stamps/stickers etc.
The dollar store has black crows for Halloween every year. I buy up all of them I can find for fun projects like this. Get a small wooden plaque and paint it black. Decapitate (sounds so gross) your crow/raven and glue him (or her) to the plaque. I printed ’nevermore’ onto paper from an old book and made a “name- plate.”

Small Town Life
My Haunted House Story.... As a child and teenager I grew up with the daughter of a well-known family in Roanoke, Alabama. The family was very well thought of and loved. The mother was always a familiar face at school. She was the “go to” mom for helping with school activities, planning a girl scout retreat, chaperoning a band trip, etc. Very visible and vocal about how she thought things should be handled. You might say a little “controlling”. Now 35 years later, I am contacted by the daughter to sell the family home. Her mother had passed away several years ago and her father had died in the last 2 years The house had been vacant for some time due to the Father being in assisted living and the nursing home. The house definitely needed some updating but was in good general condition in a great neighborhood. I found a buyer
very quickly for the home. The buyers were not from Roanoke but had been transferred to the area due to a new job. After about three months after closing I went to visit with the new owners. They had painted almost all the interior walls, installed new carpet and vinyl, updated the kitchen and made other needed repairs. The house was restored back to a warm and inviting home. As I visited with the new owners they started telling me about some very interesting experiences they had encountered in the house. One of the first things they told me was they found money hidden in a strange place in house. We talked about the money and how strange it was that the family did not find it when they cleaned out the house. As we talked, the wife started getting very anxious and then told me about seeing a ghost in the kitchen. I asked her to describe the ghost.
Her description was very detailed. She clearly described my friend's mother. It got even more bizarre as the husband told about when they first moved into the house and how the phone would ring constantly but when they answered no one would be on the line. He said they attempted to call the number back that showed on Caller ID but when they called they would get a recording stating the number was no longer in service. Someone suggested to “Google” the Caller ID number. Guess what... The phone number previously belonged to my friend's family. The couple said they were not afraid and did not feel threatened in any way. The strange occurrences stopped after the remodeling was completed. It was as though the previous owners just wanted to know their home was in good hands.
Face Your Fears for a Good Cause Now is the time of year to look over your shoulder a little more than usual because you never know what might be lurking in the dark. That is especially true at the Haunted Chicken House located at 7522 Highway 431. For seven seasons the Hollis Volunteer Fire Department has spent every weekend in October terrifying visitors who dare to enter and this year will be no exception.
News to Know by Kelly Caldwell “We have changed everything this year,” Chicken Dan (Hopkins) said. “We are really excited about scaring people in new ways. Of course all of our friends like Jason, Michael, Freddy and Chucky will be there along with some new friends and experiences aimed and scaring the fool out of most anyone.” The entry fee to the Haunted Chicken House is $15 this season which includes 400 feet of chicken house rooms to scare and torment the people who dare to enter.
16 Lake Wedowee Life
“Over the years we have had these Billy Bad Boys that say that the chicken house didn't scare them,” Chicken Dan said. “Well this year, we have their number. We have a new feature called the 'excream room' aimed at them...” There is an additional charge to enter this room and a waiver must be signed by those who dare. “In this room anything goes,” Chicken Dan said. “We have critters and other toys aimed and scaring anyone especially considering you are tied to a table and blind-folded.” Each person that dares to experience the “excream room” will be given an air horn to blow when they have had enough. If they survive, the person will be given a discount on admission to the Haunted Chicken House. Along with the chicken house the volunteer fire department also does a haunted hayride. “When we first started this in 2003, I had never been to a haunted house or really watched horror movies. I didn't think there was much to them,” Chicken Dan said. There had been a haunted house attraction on County Road 2 before the chicken house and when it burned, a group of volunteers here came up with the idea of the fire department putting on a haunted house. “We were hurting for money at the volunteer fire department and the guys who suggested we do a haunted house were looking for a location,” Chicken Dan said. “I had an empty chicken house and that's how we got started. But, I said if we were going to do it, we were going to advertise and do it right. “Most of the fundraisers we
have around here are considered a success if you raise $1,500 or so. That first year we took in $11,000. We spent four or five on advertising but we knew we were on to something.” Since it opened, the Haunted Chicken House has raised more than $400,000 and scared thousands of people, but all of that is not profit. “We have a $65,000 operating budget,” Chicken Dan said. “We constantly upgrade the chicken house and there are only about two weekends a year that I am not up here working on it. It
takes a lot of work and volunteers to pull this off, and it’s one of the best attractions in Alabama and even the Southeast.” Chicken Dan and the ghouls and goblins hope to terrify more than 10,000 people this season which begins Sept. 30 and will continue every Friday and Saturday during the month of October. Operating hours are from 7 pm to midnight Friday and Saturday nights. The house will also be open October 30 for “Church Night” and will close on Oct. 31.

Clay Bowl ends wit
It is quite possible every inhabitant of Clay County found their way into Horn-White Stadium on Sept. 23. With the bright green of the fresh grass as the only color of neutrality, the sea of blue and red, which had converged on Ashland would have the stadium rocking long before kick off. The Panthers seemingly dominated the field in size and talent coming into the match. However, what Lineville lacked in size or quantity, they made up for with deafening cheers from its crowd, and a burning desire from the players. After a commemorative coin toss from former Governor and former Clay County football player Bob Riley, Jaylan Ack-
les would lead his Clay County Pan- return, and it was recovered by a thers and both crowds into an uproar pouncing Devin Gaddis of Clay for the last, first kickoff of the Clay County. Bowl. On the very next play, running back Travis Smith would keep his head low and bust through the seams of the Lineville defense for a touchStory by Steve Haslam down. Clay County would then conPhotos by Kelly Caldwell vert the PAT, which would make the score 7-0 for the Panthers.

th defensive battle Panther defense, led by stops from Hunter Nelson and Jaylan Ackles would then hold the Aggie offense to a 3rd and 20. It would all be for naught though, as Tyrone Cosby would take a pass and break three tackles for a 20-yard gain. It seemed the Aggies were destined to score after bringing the ball to the five-yard line. However, the Panthers would make a show of stops, culminating in a touchdownsaving interception from Anthony Wood. With their backs against the wall, the Aggies would make a huge pass play to Curtis Hunter for a 25-yard gain. The chunk of yards would rile up the anxious visiting crowd and
seemingly wipe the fatigue from their players’ faces. The next play would be a completed pass to Demetrius Lindsay for 15 yards. The drive would continue with a 10-yard run from Curtis Hunter, and would culminate with a touchdown run from Demetrius Lindsay. The point after attempt would be no good, making the score 7-6 with a few minutes to play in the final quarter. On the ensuing kickoff return, receiver Shawncey Simmons fumbled the ball and it was recovered by Aggies’ Daniel Henry. Coach Giddens’ crew would recover the ball less than 30 yards from the end zone, but their field goal attempt was blocked. With under two minutes to play, and an-
other punt from the Panthers, the Aggies would have one final shot to win the game. An interception from Jamari Staples however, would seal the deal, and the Panthers would leave the last Clay Bowl as the victors. It was a tale of two teams. The Panthers dominated on the ground, while the Aggies were calculating through the air; while both teams’ defenses showed signs of stopping any team of any size.

Does Wedowee have a Sasquatch? We’ve all heard the stories of strange sightings of one type or another that different people have claimed to have seen around Wedowee. I guess the one I’ve heard the most is of someone seeing alligators in the Wedowee creek. Along with that, I’ve been told of giant catfish, albino deer, two headed chickens and I‘m sure several others that I can’t think of right now. But none are more bizarre than the most recent claim that we have a beast living among us. Although the description doesn’t exactly match that of the mythical Sasquatch, there are definite similarities. A small anonymous group has started a discrete campaign to find out the truth about these bold and outlandish claims. They call their group “Sightings.” Although I was not allowed within their inner circle, I was able to talk to a couple whose identities I was forbidden to reveal. The reason for this is because, unlike the Sasquatch, this beast is believed to be sentient and intelligent and they fear it would lash out at them should their names be told. Sightings has alleged photographic evidence of the beast, who they think has been living among us for many years. They say that at a quick glance, most would probably mistake it as human so some of you may have seen it without knowing. But upon closer examination, he is far from it. I was allowed to see a couple of these photographs and was admittedly quite disturbed. So far, no one has been able to get a full encapsulating photo because of the size of the creature and his ability to disguise himself. One picture I was shown looked like he was driving a
truck and in another, he was partially clothed! If we do have a monster in our
Charley’s Treasures by Charley Norton midst, he is a smart one. Sightings feels like the creature does not want us to know it exists and they think it has the intelligence to retaliate if he felt this secret should get out. I have my doubts about all of this but I would be lying if I told you I wasn’t a little nervous just talking about it to you right now. But if we are in danger and actually do have a wild beast living here in close proximity to our families and loved ones, someone needs to say something so I am just going to share what I know about the creature and let you decide for yourself if this is for real or not. Most of the sightings have it placed more on the west end of town between Wedowee and Lineville, but there has been a few as far as Woodland. Its torso is flesh tone and doesn’t have as much hair as the Sasquatch and for reasons unknown, Sightings has noticed that it is seen more in the Fall of the year than any other time. They theorize
that it may be because it hunts and gathers more during this time of year to stock pile what it needs to survive the Winter. If it does actually have the ability to drive, than it has the ability to hunt a larger area and that concerns them. This means the threat isn’t just for the poor souls in Wedowee, but for all of the adjoining cities and towns. As of yet, there haven’t been any known reports of attacks by this creature, but there have been several that say they were threatened. However, there is no evidence to support these claims. My advice to anyone who finds themselves in close proximity to whatever this is, is to do what I’d do. And that is to run! “Sightings” has asked me not to write about this for fear of my own safety but if I did, to ask that anyone who may get close enough to safely take a picture of it, to send it to them for analysis. You can email the pictures to the editor of Lake Wedowee Life at news@lakewedoweelife.com . “Sightings” is also looking into several reports of a large water creature seen near Tranquility Point. Large waves in otherwise still water have been seen in this area along with unusual bird and shad activity. Any information or witnesses to this phenomena are asked to contact them through the above supplied email. Their information would be greatly appreciated and identities withheld.

Remove and let cool. Melt chocolate in microwave beginning at 1 minute, stop and stir; then 30 seconds at a time until melted. Add a few peanuts at a time to melted chocolate and mix well. Using 2 spoons fill one with mixture and rake onto wax paper with the other. Keep melting chocolate until you've used all the peanuts. (I like to use food processor and chop peanuts just a little. )

Catching the big one on Lake Wedowee Since the lake was impounded, there have been many years of anglers witnessing the “ups and downs” of a new impoundment, as it slowly aged. Today, the numbers of largemouth bass caught, those exceeding 10 pounds, has decreased. Often, you will hear of an angler catching one over that weight. Maybe even a 13-14 pounder. But it has been years since any angler has stared down at a Lake Wedowee monster bass, lying in the bottom of a boat, weighing in that 15-16 pound category. So, the question now pondered by all is, ”what has happened to all those really big, trophy-sized largemouth bass, those weighing in the fifteen pound plus weight category? They are still there! No, not the same bass of yesteryear, for only a few very big bass live past 20 years of age. But their offspring, are now again huge, largemouth bass. Lake Wedowee is one of the best lakes in Alabama for targeting big, largemouth bass during the fall, winter and spring season, “trophy bass fishing” as they say. Hopeful anglers know that a young lake or a newly impounded lake, like Lake Wedowee, always has a sudden reoccurrence of some very excellent bass fishing that takes place about every five to six years. Today, with Lake Wedowee now
nearly 30 years of age you could assume -- all bass anglers agree -- we are due again for a real chance at some lucky angler landing a possible, new state record largemouth bass! Although these really big bass seem to be rather scarce during the summer months, these are very catchable bass from the fall season, on into the winter season, and all throughout the early spring season. These are really big largemouth bass that are susceptible to a whole range of lures, when fished in all depths on Lake Wedowee.
Hooked on Lake Wedowee by Reed Montgomery Choosing the correct lure; fishing it in the right manner, in the right depth of water; and fishing in all the right places is the recipe for success this fall/winter season on Lake Wedowee. Many variables will determine your lure choice and help improve the outcome of your fishing success. Rigging several rods with various types of lures, those that cover the top, middle and bottom water column, will help anglers determine where the most catchable big bass are holding on each outing.
So here’s some suggestions for anglers that are planning on fishing Lake Wedowee this fall and early winter seasons! Topwater Lures - It’s a sure bet if an angler starts out the day throwing a topwater lure (on any day) during this fall season on Lake Wedowee, he or she may connect with the day’s biggest bass. With the lake currently down for winter pool and no weeds in sight throughout all of Lake Wedowee, you can possibly eliminate lures that are normally chosen for their weed less qualities. Wood cover is very evident and found lake wide. With some very visible standing timber, brush piles, stick ups and stumps, all left here during impoundment with some still standing today. With the lake normally down any where from 515 feet during the fall and winter seasons, at times it looks like you are fishing in a forest! When casting your lures among all of this lure-grabbing wood cover, practice and use precise casts. These types of topwater lures should be accurately fished with precise casts during this fall and winter period, to avoid frustration with hang-ups or possibly losing precious lures. When the lake is down it exposes a lot of previously submerged wood and rock cover. Topwater lures, when fished away from the banks
out in open water areas, get strikes from suspended bass holding out over deeper water. These can be schools of spotted bass as well that have grown to trophy-size bass over the past 25 years. Keep a big, heavy topwater lure (like a zara super spook featuring 3 treble hooks), rigged and ready, . LURES FOR FISHING IN THE MIDDLE WATER COLUMN These lure choices are as many to select from, as when choosing a topwater lure. But these lure choices work anytime. Like spinnerbaits. Choosing your spinnerbaits depends on water clarity. During the fall season heavy rains may muddy up the lake’s headwaters, and the incoming feeder creeks can show stained to muddy conditions. . As most anglers know when faced with this situation this is the time to fish with heavier 1/2 to 3/4 of an ounce spinnerbaits or find clearer water. Choosing model spinnerbaits that show brighter colors, both on the spinnerbaits skirt and its added trailer are best when confronted with these adverse conditions. Spinnerbaits sporting big, oversized blades are a must in stained water conditions, so bring along plenty of blade choices. Spinnerbaits can be retrieved right through standing timber without hanging. Spinnerbaits can also be slow rolled or dropped among Lake Wedowee’s standing timber.

Crank baits would be a good second choice lure, if I had to cover the middle water column where a lot of big bass just suspend during the fall and early winter period. These lures fool a lot of big bass into striking, usually out of instinct and they intrigue some big bass to hit as well, often when they ignore other types of lures. Experiment and try all types of crank baits. Even lip designs of a round lip, square lip or coffinshaped lip can be preferred by these big largemouth bass, on any given trip The same goes for lipless lures, crank baits that sink, and they can be fished at all depths. I've seen these types of lures all work very well on Lake Wedowee’s schooling bass. They are exceptional lures for big bass that are suspended in Lake Wedowee’s many miles of standing timber. There are times when these big bass may prefer small to large size meals, so bring along plenty of 1/4 to 3/4 ounce lipless type lures. LURES FISHED ON OR NEAR BOTTOM Boy, how long of a list would this be? When choosing lures that you generally drag along the lake’s bottom this fall season, there are many lure choices, lure colors and various lure shapes, sizes and actions these bass may prefer. Knowing the water clarity, water depth, the time of year you are fish-
ing and the type of cover being fished, should help you determine your lure choice. Plastic Worms - These slithering creatures have fooled a lot of big Lake Wedowee bass over the last 30 years. Small worms work very well, especially in clear water situations or when following a cold front, when bass are more picky. Even small, four-inch finesse worms, fished on light tackle outfits have fooled some big bass into striking on Lake Wedowee. Problem is, many of these huge, tackletesting bass are not always landed with the use of light tackle outfits The timber, rocks and lake’s rough bottom can damage your line, nicking it, and thus causing a big, strong bass to easily break it. Again, leaving you with old tale of, “the one that got away So heavier tackle outfits are recommended! Big worms fool the bigger bass. Worms in lengths of 10-12 inches, fished on a 4/0 to 6/0 hook with a 1/4 ounce to 1/2 ounce Texas rigged sinker, have fooled a lot of trophy-sized bass on Lake Wedowee during past fall and winter seasons. They still work today. See my website: www.fishingalabama.com for more info. Thanks and Good Fishin'

Andy Petty—”1978's Halloween. The night He came home! Is it possible to terrify someone just by the score of the film alone? John Carpenter is the Clint Eastwood of horror films. What's truly awesome about this film is it's ode to the classic horror films from the past. No gory blood and carnage, just simply a knife and sound effects and the rest is left to the imagination. Michael Myers has become a household name and one we all fear.” Morgan Volz -”Halloween the original because it actually give(s) you that uneasy feeling like you (are) trapped in the movie and you cannot get out.”
2. Scream
Charmaine Slaney - “Scream is scary because, when you least expect it he pops up and the killer is not the person you would ever expect and poor Sidney goes through hell thinking it was her boyfriend who she trusted then he is cleared but for some reason he is always there when the killer is it keeps you glued to the t.v from beginning to end.”
