Taylor Hicks to headline 32nd Annual Jazz Fest

By KAITLIN FLEMING Managing Editor Platinum recording artist and American Idol winner Taylor Hicks will return to the Lake Martin Amphitheater on Saturday, June 11 for the final night of Jazz Fest.

Hicks expressed his excitement about returning to Jazz Fest and said the venue is

unique.

“To play on the lake… it’s awesome,” said Hicks. “It’s a super neat venue. Such a great layout, too.”

Hicks is no stranger to Lake Martin or the surrounding area.

“I basically grew up on Lake Martin,” said Hicks. “Jazz Fest is my favorite show to do. To be able to come back and headline a show at The Amphithe-

ater is great. I love the people around the lake. It’s such a great lake.”

Jazz Fest, a two-night music festival that is free to the public, is one of the largest free outdoor concerts in the state.

The first night is held at Strand Park in Alexander City. Friday night will see the likes of Hot 8 Brass Band and The Talismen.

Hicks is set to perform Sat-

urday night and concert-goers can expect to hear the same jazzy-blues Hicks is known for.

He will treat listeners to some of his songs and some other hits, as well.

Joining Hicks on the stage Saturday night will be Joslyn & The Sweet Compression and Tristen Gressett. The event kicks off at 6 p.m. Hicks said he’ll also be signing merchan-

dise after the show.

Hicks is excited about more than just the concert, however.

He hopes to spend some time on Lake Martin.

“I built in some time to visit some friends on the lake and get on a boat and just go,” said Hicks.

Whatley withdraws ballot recount, contest continues

By CLIFF WILLIAMS Staff Writer There will be no recount of the Tallapoosa County Rocky Creek polling location for the Tom Whatley for State Senate Campaign. But the contesting of the results of the election where political newcomer Jay Hovey leads three-term incumbent Whatley by one vote for State Senate District 27 continues.

Whatley’s campaign informed the Tallapoosa County Republican Party of the request earlier this week.

“The Whatley campaign withdrew the recount request Tuesday,” county chair Terry Martin said. “There are no other issues for the Tallapoosa County Republican Party to take up regarding the May primary.”

Tallapoosa County Probate Judge Tal East was prepared to recount the one precinct Thursday and had poll workers on standby to tally up the votes from Rocky Creek again.

“As far as I am concerned, the request by the Whatley campaign and the Tallapoosa County Republican Party to withdraw their requests for a recount of the Rocky Creek Baptist Church precinct concludes the matter,” East said. “We received no other recount requests prior to the statutory deadline. Any further comment would need to come from the campaigns involved.”

The Hovey and Whatley campaigns have been quiet on the matter since the count of provisional votes narrowed Hovey’s margin of victory from four to one. Whatley’s father Charles was one of at least two voters in Senate District 27 to file a contest with the Alabama Republican Party.

“I contest the nomination of Mr. Hovey based upon the casting of illegal votes in his favor and the rejection of legal votes in favor of Tom Whatley,” Charles Whatley said in a letter to the party. “The number of which would be sufficient to rightfully change the vote totals in favor of naming Tom Whatley as the nominee for the party.”

Charles Whatley attached an affidavit stating grounds for contesting the outcome. Whatley stated there was “malconduct on behalf of the inspector, canvassing board and/or others involved in the See RECOUNT, Page A2

a youth intern program to teach skills to youth who can then help to sustain their family.

“Hopefully, I can train people how to open-up their own business and so we can raise money for start-ups for people that don’t have the money to start a business. I want to do that because we have a lot of skills here in our town, but it is a hidden skill that no one really talks about,” she said.

Finley became inspired to launch the non-profit organization while as a missionary.

“I was doing missionary work, and I saw a need where people wanted to use their skills to earn money so I started working with those people to bring vendors together as well as business and non-business people to use their skills,” Finley said.

Finley sought to utilize that expertise to invest in local businesses and entrepreneurs after returning home. The Camp Hill-native also took inspiration from her father, a farmer, who frequently sold produce at marketplaces like the one Finley has created.

“My father would be proud of his children for continuing to carry on his legacy. We didn’t want it to die, the gift he gave us and we have put it to use where we can.”

In fact, many of the businesses Finley has

assisted so far include local farmers, which she is also doing a measure to address hunger and food insecurity in the area.

“I want them to be able to sell their products and make an income for their families and ensure that it is sustainable,” she said.

Overall, Finley said she feels optimistic about the new marketplace, and hopes to expand the amount of vendors in the future as well as continue to support youth programs through her nonprofit.

Political money, moxie and muscle

By BETH CHAPMAN

I

t takes money, moxie and muscle to defeat an incumbent. If you run against one, you’d better beat them. It happens fewer times than not, but here are eight exceptions to that rule.

Susan Dubose defeated Rep. Dickie Drake in House District 45 which encompasses portions of Jefferson and Shelby counties. She will be the first Hoover resident to win a seat in the Alabama Legislature until Mike Shaw wins House District 47 and he will join her.

Jerry Starnes defeated Rep. Will Dismukes in House District 88 in Autauga and Elmore counties. Starnes is Prattville City Council president. He works for the State Board of Pardons and Paroles and serves as a Lt. Col. in the Army National Guard.

Jennifer Fidler defeated Rep. Joe Faust in House District 94 which is in Baldwin County.

Fidler is a business owner and a seventhgeneration Baldwin Countian. She has served the county over the years in numerous ways.

Mike Kirkland defeated Rep. Tommy Hanes in House District 23 which is in Dekalb and Jackson counties. Kirkland worked for Vulcan Materials for over 30 years in various roles.

Ernie Yarbrough defeated Rep. Proncey Robertson in House District 7, which is in portions of Franklin, Lawrence, Morgan and Winston counties. Yarbrough is a selfemployed electrical engineer.

Curtis Travis defeated Rep. Ralph Howard in House District 72, which is in parts of Bibb, Greene, Hale, Marengo and Perry counties.

Travis is an assistant pastor, builder, retired field representative and manager.

Former Rep. Mack Butler defeated Rep. Gil Isbell who represents House District 28, which is in Etowah County. Butler is an electrical contractor and develops, owns and manages real estate investments.

Jay Hovey defeated Sen. Tom Whatley in Senate District 27, which encompasses Lee, Russell and Tallapoosa counties. Hovey is a banker in Lee County and an Auburn City councilman.

These are the eight newcomers who have defeated incumbents and will be joining the Legislature in 2023. They’re hard-working and determined folks. Again, it’s hard to beat an incumbent. It takes lots of money, moxie and muscle. These folks have flexed all three to show they have what it takes to win.

Congratulations to them all.

Very impressive victory for Governor Ivey

O

ur popular high steppin’ pistol tottin’ Governor Kay Ivey won a very impressive reelection victory for Governor on May 24.

Ivey turned back eight GOP primary challengers to win the Republican gubernatorial nomination without a runoff.

She garnered an amazing 54 percent of the vote and carried every county in Alabama. That is a feat not often accomplished, especially considering she had eight folks running against her.

However, her popularity is probably the reason she had no serious thoroughbreds challenge her in the gubernatorial derby.

Any knowledgeable political pro could look at the odds of defeating one of the most popular incumbent governors in the nation with plenty of campaign resources and walk away from that uphill battle.

After all she had beaten a more impressive field in 2018, which included Huntsville Mayor Tommy Battle, without the need for a runoff.

Six of her male opponents were “also ran” unknown and still unknown candidates. The seventh male in the race, Tim James, whose claim to fame is that his daddy was governor, is becoming a perennial candidate. He has run three times and finished third three times. He got a respectable 15 percent, but he spent $5.7 million to get that amount.

If he tries again, he will be considered in the Shorty Price category.

The only female in the race was first time candidate, Lindy Blanchard. She finished second to Kay Ivey with 18 percent. Therefore, the two females running for governor finished first and second.

However, there is a world of difference in getting 54 percent and 18 percent. Lindy is a nice lady. If you meet her,

Letter to the Editor

Guns and gun safety Where is America today?

We are known as the country with the most gun murders in the world. We kill our own children to the point that they have to get specialists in face reconstruction to identify a child. We kill our elderly in grocery stores because they have a different skin color, kill children in schools, and kill people at concerts. It makes you really proud, doesn’t it? Does it make you feel like a patriotic American?

Well, it does not do anything except make me

ashamed of America! We are a masochistic society now…. There are lots of men (and some women) carrying guns now out in the open.

Sounds like we are back in the 1700’s, doesn’t it? Are we trying to be a military government? Is that America now? That is what Putin does. Are we no better than that?

Do we really need military style weapons in the hands of the average person?

Some of the killers were mentally ill but no one knew it. Why not leave military

guns to the military? And, what is the problem with registering all guns? I’ve been told you cannot register the guns in the hands of bad people and that is true; but at least we would know who is an honest gun- toting individual. I have heard over and over….it isn’t the guns that kill…it is the person handling the gun. Well, if we don’t have guns available for them to shoot us with; how will they shoot it?

Summer is one of the four seasons and the time of year that the weather turns hot, and the Sun shines for many hours a day! The first official day of the Summer season is June 21. The word “summer” is derived from an Old Norse word, sumar. Summer is the warmest of the four seasons because it is at this time DR Hemisphere KIDZ that the Northern Hemisphere is closest to the Sun. The Southern experiences its Winter at this time since it is farthest from the Sun. The start of Summer coincides with a phenomenon called the Summer Solstice. A solstice is the longest day of the year in a particular hemisphere, or the day on which we experience the most sunlight. Our Summer in the United States lasts until around the end of September. For many people, Summer is their favorite time of the year. During the Summer in the United States, kids are on break from school.

This is a time when they are able to play warm-weather sports, swim, and spend time on vacation with their families. Picnics are popular, as well as certain foods and drinks like watermelon and lemonade. During the Summer, many plants and crops, such as citrus fruits, are ready for harvest. These are just a few things that make Summer so enjoyable.

Over the past ten days, I have attended funerals of two dear friends. Both individuals professed to be Christians, and both certainly lived out their Christian faith. One thing in common at both services was the singing or the playing of “Amazing Grace.” John Newton, the one who penned the words to one of the most widely sung hymns, is still a favorite in our churches today.

Modern day music has changed the melody, but the words have stood the test of time.

In Olney, England, a granite tombstone stands in a small cemetery of a parish churchyard where Mr. Newton is buried. The inscription reads, “John Newton, clerk, once an infidel and Libertine, a servant of slavers in Africa, was, by the rich mercy of Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, preserved, restored, pardoned, and appointed to preach the Faith he has long labored to destroy.”

John Newton lived a cruel life as he became a captain of a slave ship. He would collect black slaves from the West African coast and sell them to plantations in the West Indies and America.

Mr. Newton was involved in a particularly stormy voyage, and it appeared that all would be lost. He began reading “Imitation of Christ” by Thomas Kempis, (the book is still printed today and has become a religious classic). The message in the book planted the seeds for the conversion Jackie Wilbourn, member of Bethel Baptist and acceptance of Jesus Christ as his Lord and Church, Chaplain with Alabama Baptist Disaster Savior. Although over the next several years Relief Team.

he continued to transport slaves, he sought to improve conditions for the slaves and even held public worship services. Eventually, he felt the calling of God to give up this inhumane treatment of others and became a very strong and effective crusader against slavery!

When Newton began preaching, he could not find enough available hymns for his purpose and he and his friend William Cowper began writing hymns and soon their combined efforts produced the famous Olney Hymns hymnal. Interestingly there were 379 hymns written, sixty-seven by Cowper and the remainder by Newton. The purpose of the hymnal, according to Newton’s Preface, was “a desire to promote the faith and comfort of sincere Christians.” One of Mr. Cowper lasting works included “There is a Fountain.”

“For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God; not of works; lest any man should boast”, (Ephesians 2:8-9). It was God’s grace that saved a wretch like me, and it was grace that appeared when I first believed. It is that amazing grace that will take me to Heaven one day and even after I have been there ten thousand years, I will continue to sing God’s praises. Have you accepted God’s amazing grace?

WILDCATS MEET NEW

FOOTBALL COACH CLIFF WILLIAMS | THE RECORD

Members of the Benjamin Russell Football team took to the weight room Monday.

By CLIFF WILLIAMS Staff Writer

B

enjamin Russell head football coach Smitty Grider has hit the ground running.

With little time before the Wildcats first game against Sylacauga in August, Grider laid the groundwork of what he expects from his new team.

“I will be on you about your effort and attitude because you can control those,” Grider told the Wildcats Monday morning. “Focus on what you can control. Control your attitude, effort and being here. We have a lot of work ahead of us.”

Grider said it will be tough but wants the help of the seniors to rebuild the Wildcat program, but the senior leadership can’t wait to step up.

“It’s time for you to lead this program,” Grider told the seniors. “Wherever we go, it's going to be dependent on you.

You win more games in June, July and August than you do in September and October.

What we do this summer is going to determine what kind of football team we are.”

The new Wildcat coach challenged the Ben Russell seniors to step up.

“Seniors, you are going to

lay the foundation,” Grider said. “Everything that happens from this day forward, you guys will be the foundation.

What you want this program to be known for is dependent on you.”

Grider has coached many players who have gone on to be successful in college like Louisville quarterback Malik Cunningham or from Nebraska defensive back Cam Taylor who was just drafted in the second round of the NFL Draft by the Cincinnati Bengals. But Grider said, what those players became wasn’t dependent on him.

“We are going to do everything we can to put you in a position to be successful,” Grider said. “I have been fortunate to be at some really good places, coached some really great players. Players make the team. What we become and are going to be is dependent on what you are willing to put into it. I’ve been successful at a lot of places and it's because the players bought into what we were doing.”

Grider said he understands some players are worried about playing for their third coach in three years, but he has no plans for Ben Russell being a temporary stop for him.

“That is not a fun situation,” Grider said. “I’m excited to be here. I’m making the commitment to you seniors and underclassmen that I’m here. I have no desire to go anywhere else.”

Grider wrestled in the eighth grade competing with the Georgia Washington

Wildcats out of Montgomery — even wrestling in the Benjamin Russell Gym. “I started my career as a Wildcat and will finish my career as a Wildcat.” Grider said.

Grider said he isn’t worried about the past of who did or didn’t do what.

“Whatever happened last year was last year,” Grider said. “We are going to put that behind us and move forward. We are not going to talk much about it other than when we are going to play somebody, we will look at film from last year. What matters to me is what happens starting today — right now. We are going to be successful. If I have to drag you, we are going to be successful.

Losing is no fun. You work too hard not to win. If you are ready to win, then come ready to work hard. Friday nights in the stadium with a big crowd, everybody cheering for you to be successful.

That is what we are working toward, but it's going to take a lot of hard work.”

Grider said much work has to be done before the Wildcats face Sylacauga and Coach Rob Carter — someone Grider is very familiar with.

“Coach Carter at Sylacauga was my offensive coordinator at Beauregard,” Grider said.

“We are not going to lose to Sylacauga. I beat Sylacauga when I was at Coosa. I’m not going to lose to them at Benjamin Russell. Everything we are doing from now until then, we are going to focus on beating them.”

CLIFF WILLIAMS | THE RECORD

New Benjamin Russell football coach Smitty Grider speaks to members of the Wildcat football team Monday morning.

Fisher and Saban feud funny, but serious U nless you live on the moon or somewhere beneath the mantle deep within the earth's core, you heard about the war of words between Nick Saban and Jimbo Fisher a couple of weeks ago. Saban accused Texas A&M of "buying" its entire recruiting class, which happened to be the No. 1 class in the country. Fisher called Saban a narcissist, among other things, and defended his integrity to the hilt. To be perfectly honest, I found it endlessly entertaining to see Saint Nick with a little egg on his face and to hear Jimbo blast his former mentor while ultimately come off looking like someone who needs to be on medication. At the SEC Spring Meetings in Florida last week,

ANDY GRAHAM Columnist

Saban practiced a little revisionist history by saying he technically didn't say anybody did anything wrong. However, he did say that Alabama did things the "right" way this past year implying that the Aggies did things the "wrong" way. Regardless, both parties are apparently moving on and this feud has sadly been put to bed at least for now.

Of course, just because we were spared fisticuffs between an out of shape 56-year-old and a septuagenarian (which I would

actually pay money to see), it doesn't mean the argument wasn't valid. Saban was simply amplifying the frustration that has overwhelmed college football since NIL legislation was turned loose on the sport like a plague. I believe in the American capitalistic system. I have no problem with any person being given the opportunity to cash in on their ability and talent. Unfortunately, it's not that simple. College football is unique. It doesn't operate under the same principles as traditional economics in all areas.

For instance, it's actually still illegal to pay a college athlete to play college athletics. The idea behind NIL was merely to allow athletes to profit from the great

success and celebrity that comes with being on TV and winning football games. However, it took about five minutes for NIL to be inextricably intertwined with recruiting. Which is still supposed to be illegal, by the way. There's cheese in my refrigerator older than this legislation, but it's already come down to "buying" recruiting classes. I don't know for a fact what kind of deals Texas A&M set up for their players.

Neither does anyone else despite them reporting that "sources" said they shelled out somewhere in the neighborhood of $30 million. Ohio State head coach Ryan Day told his boosters just the other day that it was going to take $12 million (presumably a year) to maintain their roster. This is not giving kids

an opportunity to profit from their success. This is recruiting to the highest bidder. Apparently, no one is even pretending anymore.

I don't have the answers, but I do agree with Saban wholeheartedly that the system as it stands is unsustainable. If college football continues racing down the road it's on at breakneck speed, I see no other alternative but the professionalization of the sport.

That means salaries, unions, agents and the death of a sport I used to love. Don't get me wrong, it will continue on and probably be more successful than ever. Millions of fans will continue to love it and a new generation won't even know the difference. Unfortunately for relics like me, it'll just never be the same.

awaited surprise was finally unveiled, with the dozen or more girls being greeted by the community, including members of the Dadeville police.

Tolbert, a Dadeville-native, described the trip as a way to give back to her community and provide local children with additional opportunities.

“I didn’t have this opportunity so I am making it my business to do these types of things for the kids here because there’s so much talent here with these kids,” she said.

Tolbert is a 2016 Dadeville High School graduate and danced on a team at Auburn University at Montgomery (AUM) before returning to Dadeville last year to start her own dance studio.

The dance studio will begin conducting fundraisers and accepting sponsorships and donations to help with the upcoming trip expenses and costs.

Dye Pirates hosts summer-themed treasure hunt

By WILLIAM MARLOW Multimedia Reporter Lake Martin residents should have a keen eye the next few weeks as the store Dye Pirates in Dadeville have hidden a slew of monetary prizes across the Lake Martin area as part of a summerthemed treasure hunt.

Store owner John Vandenbrook explained that he created the event known as “Pirate’s Booty” as a fun seasonal activity for the Lake Martin community as well as a way to attract business to the CBD-product store.

“We are just wanting people to enjoy the lake, and I thought it would be just fun for

everybody and cheaper than putting up a billboard to try to get people to come to my store,” Vandenbrook said.

Dye Pirates debuted in Dadeville in 2018 as the only Physicians CBD Council-certified store east of Colorado.

Some of Dye Pirates’ most popular products include CBD oil and pain relief cream, pet products, suckers and gummies.

Vandenbrook hopes that his community event is more than just wholesome fun, but actively champions philanthropic causes throughout the community.

In 2020, during the height of the COVID19 pandemic, Vanden-

brook and his family sowed personal protection masks and donated them to area residents in need.

Vandenbrook is also a member of the nonprofit Grateful Heads, which tie-dyes bandanas to distribute to cancer patients. Once a year, a group of 28 members, some international, meet in Virginia for five days to create these bandanas, which are then delivered to hospitals across the world.

“A lot of people end up losing their hair with cancer so we’d thought we would just give back, and bring a little bit of color into a dark place,” he said.

For this community project, Vandenbrook

Wooden frames were spotted being pulled up earlier this week at the restaurant’s location, along with construction crews and equipment

Construction gets underway at Wharf Casual Seafood

By WILLIAM MARLOW Multimedia Reporter Construction began earlier this week on a new seafood restaurant coming to Alexander City this fall.

Wharf Casual Seafood, a fast-casual seafood-chain, is planning its ninth location for Alexander City, set for along U.S. Highway 280. The location sits between Regions

Bank and what’s soon to become a Sonic.

The restaurant chain spans three states, including Florida, Alabama and Georgia, and opened its first freestanding restaurant in Wetumpka last September. The company, however, began to expand into Alexander City in February.

The company had initially been waiting on its ALDOT permit

as the last hurdle before construction could begin.

However, that seems to have been approved as wooden frames were spotted being pulled up at the restaurant’s location, along with construction crews and equipment such as bulldozers.

A grand opening is set for in the fall, but a definitive debut is slated for sometime by 2023.

Tallapoosa County inmate dies STAFF REPORT TPI STAFF Tallapoosa County Sheriff Jimmy Abbett said an inmate in the Tallapoosa County Jail died Monday following a medical issue on Saturday.

“The inmate was transported [Saturday] to Lake Martin Hospital and later transported to East Alabama Medical Hospital in Opelika,”

Abbett said in a release. “On Monday, June 6, the inmate passed away at the East Alabama Medical [Hospital.]”

Abbett did not release the name of the inmate and said the Tallapoosa County Sheriff’s Department has requested the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency State Bureau of Investigation to conduct an investigation into the death.

The Dadeville Record

JAZZ FEST

Continued from A1

2006 win on American Idol.

Hicks signed a recording contract with 19 Recordings Limited/Arista Records, managed by American Idol creator Simon Fuller, in May 2006 and then debuted his single “Do I Make You Proud” on the number one spot on the Billboard Hot 100 and was subsequently certified gold by the RIAA. Studio recording sessions for the self-titled Taylor Hicks album ran in Calabasas, California between October and November 2006. The album was released on December 12, 2006 and debuted at the number two spot on the Billboard 200 charts. It was certified as a platinum album by the RIAA on January 17, 2007.

Hicks embarked on a three-month promotional tour for his album that started on February 21 in Jacksonville, Florida, and ended in Seattle, Washington on May 12.

In 2008, Hicks joined the cast of the Broadway musical Grease in the Brooks Atkinson Theatre. He played the role of “Teen Angel”. Once his 18-month tour in the traveling Broadway show Grease ended, Hicks performed in over 20 live shows.

In 2009 Hicks released his second album, The Distance, on his own label, Modern Whomp Records, on March 10, 2009. The first single, “What’s Right Is SUBMITTED | THE RECORD Right” reached number 24 on Hot Adult Contemporary Platinum recording artist and American Idol winner Taylor Hicks will return to the Lake Martin Amphitheater on Saturday, June 11 for the final night of Tracks.

Jazz Fest.

In May 2009, Taylor Hicks made Forbes’ “Top Ten earning American Idol stars” list, coming in at number 10, with over $300,000 earned from album sales and from his role as “Teen Angel” in the national tour of Grease.

In May 2011, Taylor Hicks opened ORE Drink and Dine restaurant in Birmingham, Alabama. ORE Drink and Dine re-opened as Saw’s Juke Joint, a barbecue and live music bar, on October 30, 2012.

In September 2017, Taylor Hicks premiered his song, “Six Strings and Diamond Rings” with Billboard Music, his first musical release since 2009.

Hicks also had a three-season stint as host for State Plate on the INSP channel from 2016-2018. State Plate featured iconic dishes and ingredients from each state in the United States.

Hicks’ latest song debut in 2017 had fans excited for another album. Hicks wouldn’t say exactly when the new album would debut — although it will be in 2022 — but he said it would be “soon.”

“Actually, I’d say sooner than soon,” said Hicks.

Hicks is recording the album at Zac Brown’s Southern Ground recording studio in Nashville, Tennessee.

Once the album is released, Hicks will hit the road for an “extensive” tour.
