Council ok’s deal for downtown project

By COREY ARWOOD Staff Writer

The City Council met in a special noon session Tuesday to authorize the mayor’s agreement with a Montgomerybased architecture and engineering firm for its services on another aspect of the downtown redevelopment project.

The council voted to authorize Mayor Jerry Willis to execute an agreement with Goodwyn, Mills & Cawood for prelimi-

nary engineering on the project.

City Planner David Robison described it as a new phase of the city’s redevelopment plans for the downtown streetscapes.

Mayor Jerry Willis said it was the third and final phase of the project.

Efforts were made early in the meeting to define just what was being accomplished through the vote on the agenda item.

City Attorney Regina Edwards said

for Willis to approve the contract the council had to authorize him to sign the agreement.

“The project has been approved but not this specific contract with the engineers,” said Edwards.

Council Member Percy Gill asked how much the project would cost.

David Robison said it would total $210,600, however the city would pay $42,120 resulting from a Federal Aid Transport grant.

Flags and approximately 30 showed up in the lot behind the city’s administration building for the entertainment provided by local disc jockey Shawn Singleton.

That crowd had grown to roughly 40 by the time 2017 arrived with Wetumpka’s one-of-akind meteor and an accompanying fireworks show.

At the POW/MIA event, retired Master

Richard Dennis was sworn in as the new Elmore County superintendent of education Tuesday morning at the Elmore County Board of Education building.

District Judge Patrick Pinkston administered the oath to Dennis, Dennis who rested his hand on a bible held by his wife, Leslie. The bible used in the ceremony belonged to Dennis’ grandmother, Lois Dennis, and was given to her by Dennis’ grandfather, Hardie, in 1940.

“It meant a lot to me to have my wife there and to use that bible,” Dennis said.

Soon after the ceremony, the new superintendent hit the road, headed first to Wetumpka to meet with administrators of the Child Nutrition Program.

“The show must go on.”

The City of Wetumpka took that old show-business adage to heart on Saturday night, moving forward with its schedule of New Year’s Eve events, despite temperatures in the 40s and a steady, if light, rain.

Wetumpka Pops offers music, fellowship to members Perhaps one of the best-kept secrets among Wetumpka’s performing arts opportunities is the Wetumpka Pops.

And the informal orchestra-for-all-ages is looking for more members, regardless of their musical experience.

“We currently have about 20 people in the group and we take people from anywhere in Elmore County,” said Anthony Vittore, director of the Pops and also the band director at Eclectic’s Elmore County High School. “I have some students from my high school band, seventh-graders and eighth-graders and seniors. We range from seventh-graders all the way up to 80 years old.

“It’s a great time. We meet every Thursday from 7 to 8:30 p.m. at the Wetumpka administration building.”

“This project will consist of a preliminary corridor and planning stage and that will be looking at South Main Street from East Bridge all the way south to U.S. 231,” said Robison.

However Gill’s concern was centered on the manner in which the architecture firm was chosen, and whether there was an option to choose from others in a bid process.

The Wetumpka Depot Players will hold their second session of after-school programs for children in grades 2-8 beginning Jan. 10.

Fancy Fridays, which will introduce kids to the basics of theatre using lessons based on the popular Fancy Nancy books, and Boomer Train, which will use Legos and

Minecraft to introduce participants to set design, are attempts by the Players to cultivate interest in theatre among children and work toward growing theatre talent in the area.

Gill asked if GMC had been paid for the first phases and Robison said they had.

Gill also asked whether it was the last chance for any other firm to be bid on, to which Robison also replied that it was for that particular project.

“robust public involvement” opportunities as there had been in the past with GMC’s plans.

He said the construction component would be open to bid later.

Gill talked about his inquiries into the way the firm was chosen after the meeting.

“My concern, it seems like there’s been a historical relationship between this mayor and Goodwyn, Mills and Cawood and so I was wanting to know why is the contract not opened up for other firms to bid on those contracts,” said Gill. “When it’s a company that they want to give the contract to it falls under professional services. When it’s other opportunities they would generally open up the bids for everybody to compete.”

The council also voted to move their next meeting to Tuesday, Jan. 17, at 5 p.m.

Pops

continued from page 1

According to Pops original member Lynda Powell, the Pops was founded shortly after she and the group’s first director, John Paul Jones, were approached by Wetumpka Mayor Jerry Willis when Powell and Jones were members of the Prattville Pops.

“I was a member of the Prattville Pops and (Jones) was director of the Prattville Pops and we did a concert at the Doster Center,” Powell said.

“Mayor (Jerry) Willis happened to be there. I think it was a Veteran’s Day thing. Mayor Willis talked to John Paul and to me and found out I was from Wetumpka and wanted to have a meeting with a few people that were interested in starting a band here. So we started with 12 members in February 2010.”

Powell said that Willis helped the group by refurbishing a second-floor meeting room in the administration building, used during non-rehearsal times for art exhibitions and other events, as a band room.

Since then the band has grown to what Powell says are “20-25 faithful members. We have others that float in and out over the years.”

While the band does perform publically at least three times a year (a spring concert, a July 4 concert and a Christmas concert), Vittore says the main rea-

son the Pops gets together is “to play music and have fun.”

“We’re all there for one reason and that’s to have a great time and play music,” Vittore said. ”We’re not there to be the best player there. We’re not there to be the first chairs.

We’re there to have a good time and it’s really that way. I’ve told other folks in the group, the minute we stop having a good time, I’m not going to be back. It becomes work then and we all have work already. This a chance for us to kind of relax and take a break from work.”

In the case of the younger high school band members who lend their time to the Pops, Vittore sees it as an unmatchable teaching tool.

“For me, I love it for a teaching tool for these kids because they get to sit in a section with someone that’s probably been playing for 25, 35, 45 years,” said Vittore. “You can’t get any better than that.”

Currently, there are no members of the Wetumpka High School band playing with the Pops, Vittore said, although they are certainly welcome.

“We don’t have any band kids from Wetumpka and I’m really not sure why,” Vittore said. “It’s an excellent learning opportunity.”

“We’ll take anybody,” Vittore said. “If they play an instru-

ment, we would love to have them. We want to spread the joy. If you were ever a musician in your life, it doesn’t really go away. I know people that think, ‘Oh, I haven’t played in years.

I can’t do it.’ And they find that once they actually come to a rehearsal, they remember more than they ever thought they would remember.”

Superintendent the county,” Dennis said. “Eclectic first, then Redland, Wetumpka, Holtville and Millbrook.”

Dennis said that, after visiting all of the county’s schools, his first task would be an assessment of where the system stands through meetings with department heads and administrators.

“This week, I’ll meet with the different department heads, get their feedback and an overview of each of those departments,” Dennis said. “Next week, I’ll be looking at our administrators. I’ll be meeting with principals most of next week.”

School band and the U.S. Air Force Band, is an example. She said that she went 25 years without playing before joining the Prattville Pops.

The next Pops concert, Vittore said, is planned for the spring.

“For this one, we’ll probably play more traditional music, some old standards,” he said.

“We may try to pull out a couple of new pieces of music for the

crowd so that they get a taste of what we’re going through now.”

Meanwhile, Vittore, who himself plays saxophone for the Pops, is hopeful that more musicians will come and join the fun.

“Just come to one of our rehearsals and see,” he said.

“I guarantee they’ll enjoy the experience.”

continued from page 1

Asked about any learning curve he may face as superintendent, Dennis cited his years as principal at large high schools.

“This is my 28th year in education,” Dennis said. “I’ve been a high school principal for 21 of those years. A lot of what you run into, I’ve experienced, whether it’s with students, personnel, transportation, child nutrition – I’ve experienced all of that. I’ve got quite a bit of experience under my belt.”

Dennis takes over the position of superintendent from Dr. Andre Harrison, who had served as

superintendent since being selected by the board to replace Dr. Jeff Langham in December 2014.

Langham resigned to accept an appointment to the state Board of Education.

Dennis and Harrison faced off in the November general election and Dennis, a Republican, defeated the incumbent by garnering 60 percent of the vote. Harrison ran as an independent after his name was removed from the Republican ballot for failure to file election paperwork.

wo-thousand sixteen was a wild and wacky year.

The Chicago Cubs won the World Series.

Donald Trump won the presidency.

The world shook on its axis.

Now, we begin another year that has the promise of wackiness in its own right.

Our president-elect can’t seem to kick his tweeting habit. The Los Angeles Raiders are in the National Football League playoffs. Who knows what might eventually happen with our church-going, philandering Dr. Governor?

With so many surprises in our world of late, I have taken it upon myself to get out the old crystal ball, dust it off and take a swing at a few predictions for this brand new year. I make no claim that any degree of sanity went into these predictions. But, then again,

Could 2017 out-wack 2016?

doesn’t it sometimes seem like our world’s gone insane?

First, the Alabama Crimson Tide, despite the questionable dietary habits of its new offensive coordinator, Steve Sarkisian, will win yet another national college football title (You can’t believe how much it pains me, a lifelong Auburn man, to write that!). Dabo (Who names their kid “Dabo”? I mean, really?) Swinney’s Clemson charges just don’t have enough manhood to handle the stout Crimson Tide. Alabama wins the title by three touchdowns.

(A side note: Sarkisian will manage to keep his digits away from his nostrils after a pre-game “pep talk” from Saban.)

Anyway, I expect another 8-4 or 9-3 year from the Tigers in 2017.

But enough of the frivolity of sports. What everyone will be watching worldwide in 2017 is the American political scene and, in particular, the presidency of The Donald. There are sooo many questions out there surrounding his tenure.

Can he kick the Twitter habit and, if not, can he at least stay somewhat more statesmanlike in his tweets?

Will he satisfactorily divorce himself from his business interests while

president and, if he can’t or won’t, what can or will Congress or anyone in a position of power do about it?

Will he repeal and replace Obamacare or will he end up attempting to fix it instead?

Will he build the wall?

Will Mexico pay for it?

Will Melania finally convince him that his haircut is awful and to see a stylist?

These are just a few of the Trump-related storylines we have to look forward to. I wish him well. Heck, he’s my president as much as he is anyone else’s.

And then there’s our state political scene where our junior senator is the attorney general nominee, our governor has been mortally wounded politically by a sex scandal he contends wasn’t sexual and our legislature can’t seem to get out of its own way and solve our never-end-

ing funding crisis, choosing to continue to kick the can down the road instead.

Sen. Jefferson Beauregard Sessions’ confirmation as U.S. attorney general is inevitable, but it won’t be without some harkening back to the hearings on his failed confirmation as U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Alabama. At that time, testimony from Thomas Figures of racist statements by Sessions derailed his confirmation.

You can bet we’ll be reminded of those statements this time around.

With Sessions safely ensconced in the Trump administration, Luther Strange won’t accept an appointment to his Senate seat by hobbled Gov. Robert Bentley, but he’s running when it becomes permanently open. And the state’s attorney general will likely win.

As far as Bentley him-

self, he has become all but irrelevant and is simply a lame duck until we elect his replacement in 2018. With potential candidates believing that his appointment as Sessions’ replacement is the kiss of death, he could be left with an appointment akin to businessman Tim James.

Bentley’s sway in the 2017 session of the legislature? Zilch!

And here’s hoping that, finally, our state legislature chooses to make some tough decisions and finds a way to pick up that fiscal can they’ve been kicking and stick it in their collective pocket.

I can’t say that I expect that to happen.

Then again, I didn’t expect a year like 2016, either.

A noble mission: striving for perfection

N

o one’s life is perfect — or is it? What is a perfect life? What is perfection? To me, it’s all relative.

For some, a perfect meal is a 12-ounce medium rare ribeye with a baked potato and grilled asparagus. For others, it’s a can of Vienna sausages, an RC Cola and a Moon Pie. There’s nothing wrong with either. The steak sounds perfect to me, but I’m quite certain that I have a relative who’d fight you over that can of Viennas. He keeps a can of emergency Viennas in his truck, because he just never knows when the mood is going to strike. He’d likely take exception to my definition of perfect.

Anyone who has known me for any period of time knows that my life has never been easy, and that’s okay. For the most part, I wouldn’t change a thing. I like where I’ve been, I like where I am, and I like where I’m headed. Most of us have daily struggles, but we never quit trying to make things better. Some people have the mentality that they are where they are and that’s where they’ll always be, no matter how bad their life is.

They “embrace the suck” as we say in the Army. It’s a victim mentality ranging from socioeconomic status to physical and mental health and wellness.

While my life has never been easy, with few excep-

tions, it’s always been good. In many ways it has been perfect: perfect for me. Like I said, it’s all relative. But there are moments and days that are better than others. I refer to them as perfect moments. That’s a groundbreaking term, I know, but I’m a simple guy.

I was in Montana at a country store just outside Glacier National Park. It was a beautiful day at the end of May. The skies were blue and the glaciers capped with snow. I stood at the end of that old wooden porch drinking my Moose Drool brown ale and taking in the majestic beauty of it all. It was breathtaking.

It was also my birthday. It was perfect.

We can’t be in Montana every day, but we can still see the majestic beauty, the perfection, before our eyes each day. God shows us His perfection all day every day; it’s up to us to see it.

In 2017, my goal is to strive for perfection. Will I reach that goal? Of course, I will, because the goal isn’t perfection; it’s striving for perfection. It’s doing the best I can each day with what I have.

I’d struggled through so much in my life that there was a long running joke between my best friend and I that this year—fill in the year—was going to be my year. It took a long time for that to happen, but I never quit striving for “my year.” That year finally came in 2009 when I went overseas to entertain troops for the first time, had major dental work completed, moved back to Opelika, bought my first home, and bought a new car.

But as great as 2009 was, it wasn’t without its setbacks.

The whole year had been pretty darn close to perfect, and then November rolled around and struck me with a bad case of the shingles. Technically, I think it’s just “shingles,” but without the “the” it sounds joyful, and there is nothing joyful about the shingles. I think it was just God’s way of keeping me grounded, which it did for about three weeks.

There are going to be setbacks. It may not be your year and it may not be mine, but the only ones preventing us from at least striving for perfection in 2017 is you and me, and I don’t plan on it being me.

T

There is still time for the real gift of Christmas

he presents are opened, meals and goodies eaten, trees taken down, ornaments and decorations put away, excitement faded.

For most people, Christmas is over, all done.

The same is true in most Churches – no mention of Christmas, except maybe, “Thanks” to those who did extra work over the holidays.

If Christmas is indeed over for another year, what does that mean?

It could mean that another year wishing our lives could be different has passed.

It could mean that another year of spending too much, or doing too much, has passed.

It could mean that anoth-

er year of remembering and longing for what we remembered and felt as a child at Christmas, has passed.

But, it could mean that we found something we lost many years ago, a sense of wonder, joy, excitement, awe.

It could mean realizing for the first time in years, or maybe for the first time in our lives that we are loved – by God, by others, even by ourselves.

Or, it could mean nothing at all.

If our response to what does it mean that Christmas is over is nothing, then the thing to remember is that it’s not over – Christmas is not over.

While everyone else has

lives.

It’s just that during Christmas, we’re especially attuned to the possibility of God born in our lives, being reminded by the gifts we give and get, of the gift God gave to the world in the birth of Jesus.

Perhaps we’re thinking about God coming into our lives, perhaps we’re seeking it, perhaps we’re wishing for it.

If so, rejoice! Give thanks!

Even if Jesus hasn’t been born in our lives yet, there is still time!

Rev. Henderson is a rector for Trinity Episcopal Church in Wetumpka.

That means we have two more days of Christmas.

Two more days to contemplate the mystery and the miracle.

Two more days to hope for the real Christmas gift, the presence of God in our lives.

Two more days to believe it can happen this year, that Jesus can be born in our hearts, just as he was born in a stable.

Two more days, because it’s not over. Christmas, with all its promise and possibilities is not over ‘til it’s over, on Epiphany.

There is still time.

In reality, we have the rest of our lives to receive the gift of God being born in our

seemingly put Christmas away for another year, Christmas isn’t over for denominations who follow the Church Year. For them, Christmas begins on Christmas Day and lasts twelve days, until Epiphany, when we celebrate and remember the coming of the wise men and through them, Jesus manifested to us Gentiles.

Eclectic Faith

Our expressions of love reflect our experience in worship

S

top for a moment and ponder with me; what does Spirit-filled worship look like among Christians? I began mulling this over after reading Jesus’ comments to a certain Samaritan woman at Jacob’s well. Can you recall what He told her about worship? “…a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks. God is spirit and his worshipers must worship in spirit and in truth.” (John 14:23-24 NIV) It might seem odd at first to think of the Mighty God searching for worshipers.

Even so, Jesus tells us that our Father seeks all true worshipers long before we

ever begin seeking Him. Now consider this - what sort of atmosphere is it that our Lord is looking to find during our Sabbath gatherings? Here’s how one wise friend replied to my question: “Rob, for that to happen, people must be hungry for God.” Ah, that’s it, an obvious “holy hunger” for the undeniable presence of the Holy One among us!

(The experience of Cleopas and his companion springs to mind! Luke 23:13-32) Let’s suppose that a mysterious traveler does show up one Sunday morning. How might our guest describe us?

Would our menu of musical preferences make the greatest impression? Are we primarily identified by our forms and habits, or perhaps, by

the particular way that we serve up the bread and wine during the Lord’s Supper?

Honestly, all of these things, while somewhat important, amount to theological wallpaper. Shouldn’t these things blend into an orderly and well coordinated background for worship instead of defining it?

What intangible aspect will provoke a seeker or pilgrim to skip over the wallpaper entirely when describing our worship of God? There’s

one thing alone. Only a holy encounter with God in our midst will produce a vivid and biblical picture of vital Christian worship.

Friends, I am convinced that the Holy Spirit brings life to every Christian worship tradition when we permit Him to do so. Spiritual awakening results whenever we place our greatest emphasis on our congregational (shared) relationship with God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Our deepest desire must be to know more fully the One whom we worship. The methods of how we worship mustn’t become a distraction. Rather, the “how to’s” must enrich our ability to express love to Him through praise, thanksgiving, sacrifice, and testimony.

Perhaps the most remarkable evidence that our worship gatherings are authentically “Spirit-filled” is revealed after we scatter out during the week. How does our experience in worship impact our actions between Sundays? Ultimately, it is through our expressions of love. Wherever the Spirit of the Lord is, there you will find love in abundance.

When our love for Jesus Christ finds expression through worship, we begin not only loving our brothers and sisters in the faith, but also expressing mercy-filled love beyond our church walls.

PUZZLES & HOROSCOPE ARIES (March 21-April 19) You might have a diÉ&#x2030;cult time in the morning believing that you are going to be a spitĂ&#x201E;re in the evening. A misunderstanding could emerge from out of nowhere. You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be too careful when making sure that everyone is on the same page. Tonight: Whatever knocks your socks oÉ&#x2C6;!

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Use the morning to the max, especially when dealing with an important individual. Keep conversations on a one-on-one level. You might see some confusion arise around a money agreement you have with a partner. Keep talks low-key.

Tonight: Not to be found!

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll take on a leadership role within a key group, and as a result, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll emphasize the importance of getting othersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; support in a meeting. Once you give more power to the group, you will gain a lot more of their support. Tonight: Choose your words with care.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) Kick back in the morning, and consider where others are coming from. Later on, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll discover who is supportive and who is just pretending to be there for you. Though some of what you hear could be muddled, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll eventually get the truth. Tonight: A force to be dealt with.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feel inhibited by a situation -- you will be able to work right through it.

Identify with the various people involved.

Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hesitate to ask for more of what you want and/or need. You will get it once everyone is on the same page.

Tonight: Try out an oÉ&#x2C6;beat idea.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) One-on-one relating takes you to a new level of understanding. As a result, new possibilities emerge and allow more give-and-take. Understand how a misunderstanding could have happened.

Try to be as clear as possible today.

Tonight: Togetherness is the theme.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Defer to others, and understand where they are coming from. You will discover that people are only too happy to express their thoughts. You might even be sorry that you asked for opinions. Calls, emails and subsequent conversations could overwhelm you. Tonight: Hang out.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll actively pursue a goal. You know where you are going, but others could be reactive. You also arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t likely to be in the mood to discuss your ideas or plans.

A loved one who is observing you might not be sure how to react. Tonight: Get some extra R and R. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Your playful nature emerges when dealing with a child. You might feel as if you are revived and feeling better than you have in quite a while. You seem to be especially verbal. Understand that confusion on the homefront is likely.

Tonight: Get into the moment.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Make calls early in the day. You could wonder what is too much and what is too little to give in a key relationship.

Discussions might be emotional. If you feel guilty, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll know that you need to give more. If you feel resentful, give less.

Tonight: Happily head home.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You might be unusually busy and determined to get past a problem. You understand much more than you seem to let on. Sometimes you frustrate others, as you seem impervious to their feedback. Know what you want and why, but remain sensitive. Tonight: Hang out late.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) A boss or higher-up could make a demand that you will need to respond to. Confusion is likely, as you might not be hearing the whole story. Try not to make assumptions. Ask questions, and do more research. Tonight: Treat a loved one to a budget-friendly dinner.

Sgt. Keith Womack shared just a few words, choosing to be brief due to the weather. The veteran, who was stationed in Qatar and the United Arab Emirates during Afghanistan and in Italy during Kosovo, spoke about sacrifice, both from soldiers and their families. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The next time you see a veteran and want to thank him for his service, if his spouse is with him, thank her for hers, too,â&#x20AC;? Womack said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The families of our servicemen make a lot of sacrifices, too.â&#x20AC;?

The entertainment began at 9:30. Singleton played a mixture of hits from the 70s through today as the crowd mostly just milled about, sipping on hot chocolate that was available from Boy Scout Troop 50 and anticipating the stroke of the New Year.

Gardner Perdue, who coordinated the celebration for the city, said it was necessary to go forward with the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plan, particularly the fireworks display. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The city only has a six-month window in which they can use the fireworks and thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not another fireworks occasion until July,â&#x20AC;? Perdue said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not used tonight, the city loses a quarter of the cost.â&#x20AC;?

So the show went on â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and was enjoyed by the few that were in attendance. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I hate that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s raining and I hate that more people arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t here,â&#x20AC;? Perdue said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We usually have about 2,000-3,000 folks. But we canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do anything about the weather.â&#x20AC;?

After-school

executive director. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re just looking to increase our presence for after-school activities that we can use to enhance activities here at the theatre and start growing our own talent.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our programs will be diverse this winter session.

We are offering Fancy Fridays with a curriculum based on the incredibly popular Fancy Nancy books as well the Boomer Train workshop that features designing with Legos and Minecraft. Creating programs based on these popular trends will assure students will have fun while learning.â&#x20AC;?

Fancy Fridays will cover the basics of Theatre 101 for children in grades 2-5. Classes will be 4-5 p.m. beginning Friday, Jan. 13, and ending Friday, Feb. 17.

Cost is $200 and tuition may be paid in two installments.

The Boomer Train program will accept students who enjoy Legos and Minecraft and will focus on building miniature models. Children in grades 4- 8 may enroll in the Boomer Train winter program that will run for six sessions on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons in January (Jan. 10, 13, 17, 19, 24 and 26) from 5-6 p.m.

Cost is $150 and tuition for Boomer Train also may be paid in two installments.

In the Fancy Nancy classes, â&#x20AC;&#x153;weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll use different books to generate different theatre-related activities, everything from doing different scenes from the books to different costume ideas appropriate for the Fancy Nancy characters,â&#x20AC;? Meanor said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s theatre thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s inspired by Fancy Nancy.â&#x20AC;?

Boomer Train is â&#x20AC;&#x153;for students who enjoy building

with Legos and playing the (Minecraft) game,â&#x20AC;? Meanor said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more of a creative outlet in that way for design. What they plan to do is read different scripts or stories and then they can actually design a set thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s appropriate for the story that theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re reading.â&#x20AC;?

This is the Depotâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second-ever session of afterschool activities, Meanor said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had our very first session this past fall and had about 10 students enrolled in that,â&#x20AC;? Meanor said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is our winter session. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll do a spring session and then weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to gear up for our summer activities, which are going to be a series of three week-long programs in June.â&#x20AC;?

Participation in the Depot Playersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; after-school and summer programs may hold benefits beyond the arts.

Depot Board president Jeff Langham says children who participate in the arts also perform well in the classroom. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are excited to provide opportunities for students to learn and grow,â&#x20AC;? Langham said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Students who participate in the arts not only develop theatre skills but they are given the tools to learn to be a good team player as well as grow in self-confidence. Enhanced classroom performance in reading is an additional benefit for students who develop theatre skills.â&#x20AC;?

Parents may enroll their students in the programs, known collectively as Depot Days Youth Theatre Academy, by emailing Meanor at kmeanor@wetumpkadepot.com or calling 334-868-1440.

STATE FINALS PREVIEW

Andrews bests Holley for Barry Mask heavyweight title

By CORY DIAZ Sports Editor

When Stanhope Elmore’s Jake Andrews and Wetumpka’s Trent Holley both glance across the circle in midFebruary, both expect to see a very familiar site: each other.

In the first meeting this season between the two heavyweights in the 287-pound championship match Thursday at the annual Barry Mask Invitational at Wetumpka High School, Andrews got the better of Holley in a 9-4 decision. But if things go the way the pair predicts, they won’t just wrestle for the Barry Mask title, but for the Class 6A heavyweight state championship at the Von Braun Center in Huntsville, Saturday Feb. 18.

“You definitely have got to give respect to Trent right there,” Andrews said. “A really

good guy, wrestler, a really good friend of mine. It was fun, but it’ll be an exciting match in the future especially in February.”

Disappointed after the match, Holley said he and Andrews wrestled a good match, but he’s looking forward to the next one.

“Not on my game, not thinking right, not in my head,” Holley, who won the Barry Mask title at 220 last season, said.

“I didn’t wrestle like I know I can. Didn’t shoot the shots I know I can and have the technique I know I need. Just didn’t wrestle like myself.

“Good wrestler, both of us are good wrestlers.

It was a good match.

Both of us – we talked about it – are a little out of shape, you know, the beginning of the season, we’re still getting our wind underneath us. I can’t wait to see him again.”

Despite winning the first match, Andrews

doesn’t feel like he’s got the upperhand over Holley.

“It gives me a little bit of confidence, but you don’t want to have too much. In February, the state finals is everything,” Andrews said. “Bracket busters up-and-down, everybody can do anything to anyone. Really, there’s no upperhand at all. He can go out there and tech me in February. You never know.”

While he lost the first match against Andrews, Holley believes it’ll help him later.

“It let’s me know where I’m at as a wrestler. I haven’t really Photos By Cory Diaz / The Herald been challenged all Stanhope Elmore junior Jake Andrews, top, pulls Wetumpka senior Trent Holley’s arm in during their season until now, and it heavyweight championship bout Thursday at the annual Barry Mask Invitational at Wetumpka High showed,” Holley said.

Dawgs win first tourney championship in nearly 20 years

By CORY DIAZ Sports Editor

Holtville has already filled this basketball season with accomplishments the program hasn’t achieved in quite some time.

When the Bulldogs won the Munford Christmas Tournament on Dec. 23, defeating Gaston, 61-58, for the title, they turned another page on their program reinvention by winning their first tournament of any kind in nearly two decades.

“I think the guys now are starting to believe,” HHS boys basketball coach Cortes Mitchell said. “That’s a good thing to get everyone on the same page, to start to believe to win. They come out to practice, work hard every day and now we’re reaping the benefits.”

Holtville has won 7 games this season, the most it’s had in Mitchell’s nine-year stint as head coach. Senior point guard Brant Evans leads a mixed group of experience and youth, including freshman forward Dre Baker, sophomore Dajon Reeves and fellow senior Shane Chambers.

“I told the guys, we have all the potential in the world. Hard work beats talent when talent doesn’t work hard and I think the guys are starting to buy in,” Mitchell said. “They come to practice with a good attitude and

it’s showing on the court right now. We’ve finished the first half of the season 7-7 and we’re excited for what’s coming in the second half of the season.”

To open the Munford tourney, HHS beat the host-Lions, 61-55, where Baker contributed a double-double with 16 points and 10 rebounds.

Evans chipped a game-high 19 points and eight assists and Chambers scored 17.

The Dawgs opened up a 12-point halftime advantage in the championship contest, but Gaston closed to within three before Evans put the game away with clutch free throws. Evans and Baker each had 17 points, while Reeves added 12 points and six boards.

Mitchell said the team winning its first tournament will give it that confidence boost it’ll need going into the remainder of the year.

“It gives us tremendous motivation. We knew the guys had that in them, it’s just getting them to work hard and believe,” the coach said. “We had goals set at the beginning of the season and we’re not far from reaching some of our goals, but there’s more basketball left.

“The guys are excited about what’s going on and we’ve been playing pretty good basketball lately. We need to continue it the rest of the season, take care of the small things and hopefully reap the benefits at the end of the game.”

WMS girls win Eclectic Christmas tourney

By CORY DIAZ Sports Editor

Submitted / The Herald

The Wetumpka Middle School girls basketball team poses with their plaque after winning the Eclectic Middle School Christmas Tournament Dec. 17.

The Wetumpka Middle School girls basketball team handled the field to win the Eclectic Middle School Christmas Tournament Dec. 17, downing Pike Road for the championship.

Setting the tone with stout defense, the Lady Indians trounced Southside (Tallassee) Middle, 40-2, in the first round to advance to the final.

Cederia Dennis led her team with 10 points against Southside, while Shavonna Lucas provided the defensive energy with 7 steals. Angel Knight and Katlin Swindle pitched in 8 points each.

WMS turned the intensity up a notch in the title game versus Pike Road, creating multiple turnovers with a press. Lucas converted eight steals into a team-high 18 points.

Morgan Causey and Takizia Johnson finished the contest with six blocks each, while Johnson added six points on offense. Swindle had six points.

Dennis scored 12 points, en route to Wetumpka ending the season at 8-3 and being named the Tournament MVP. Causey and Lucas were also

named to the All-Tourney team.

“The girls played their hearts out on defense both games,” WMS girls basketball coach Donnie Adams said. “They pressed and hustled the entire game. They created a lot of free baskets and got into a really good rhythm for the entire tournament.

We controlled the inside with huge blocks and then we beat them down the court for a bunch of free lay ups.

“Super proud of my girls, they beat a really good team today and actually dominated the game.

The saved their best game for the last game of the year.”

The Wetumpka Middle School boys team came up short to Martin (Selma) Middle, 41-34, in the Eclectic Middle School Christmas Tournament championship game on the boys side.

WMS won its first two games against Eclectic, 58-30, and Southside, 43-23. Averaging 50.5 points in their first two games, the Indians couldn’t duplicate their offensive success in the title game.

Avery Thomas scored 10 points against EMS, while Brandon Bowman and Kamaree Murphy both totaled 12 points to lead Wetumpka versus Southside.

Demolitoin of old parsonage to make space for parking

By COREY ARWOOD Staff Writer

Changes are on the way for Eclectic and the town hall area as it prepares for the demolition of the old Methodist parsonage to make way for parking lot access to businesses and government buildings

downtown.

Monthly meetings regularly fill up the parking lot of the Town Hall, municipal court and police department buildings, regardless of the agenda.

But the plan to create dozens more parking spaces for access to town administration buildings and for

visitors to local businesses is almost ready to go from the planning phase to construction.

Mayor Gary Davenport said it has been about a yearand-a-half in the making.

“It’s going to be a town parking lot for the town hall area, for the stores in the downtown area and for

the court systems,” said Davenport.

“It’ll give the capacity of parking approximately another 60 vehicles.”

He said town officials knew that extra parking was needed and, through the donation of the property, See PARSONAGE • Page B3

Girl Scout cookies arrive with new flavor STAFF REPORT TPI Staff

The annual Girl Scouts cookie sale is coming soon.

In fact, Girl Scout cookies for the River Region area will be arriving in Montgomery by tractor-trailer trucks on Friday.

With this year’s sale, Girl Scouts of Southern Alabama (GSSA) is introducing a new cookie to its lineup starting Dec. 26, where it will join classics like Thin Mints®, Caramel deLites, and Shortbread.

The new cookie will offer a s’mores-inspired crispy graham cookie double-dipped in a crème icing and enrobed in a chocolaty coating. This take on the time-honored campfire treat was developed in response to popular consumer trends. It is vegan and free of artificial colors, preservatives and partially hydrogenated oils.

The last new Girl Scout cookies, including the gluten-free Trios, were introduced in 2015. ”We cannot wait to introduce our loyal cookie customers to this new Girl Scout S’mores™ cookie,” said Karlyn Edmonds, chief executive officer of GSSA . “The S’more has strong ties to our organization’s history and this cookie brings a new and delicious way for consumers to support girls and the fun adventures that them help them develop leadership skills See GIRL SCOUT • Page B3

als in the area to the National Weather Service, approximately five inches of rain fell in the Central community over the two days. Statewide, Anniston (2.39 inches), Montgomery (4.21 inches) and Tuscaloosa (2.88 inches) all set records for Jan. 2 rainfall.

But Eric Jones, director of Elmore County’s Emergency Management Agency, said the county was spared any significant problems.

“We had a number of isolated reports of flash flooding across the county, from Millbrook to Tallassee,” said Jones. “We had just a few reports of trees down, one that fell on a house in the Millbrook area. And we had water backing up near storm drains in Wetumpka on Bridge Street and behind the Toulouse Shopping Center, where Winn-Dixie, the antique mall and Adams Drugs are.”

According to Wetumpka Fire Department

The addition of a 911-hotline phone is set for the Eclectic Police Department as a result of the recent dispatch switch from the EPD headquarters to Elmore County emergency administrative facilities.

More than a month has passed since Eclectic’s emergency dispatch moved and town officials have reported few problems with the change.

However, Mayor Gary Davenport announced at the last town council meeting the county would install the phone at the EPD facility.

He said it would act as an added precaution for those that need emergency assistance after hours at the EPD. However, Davenport stressed that a timeframe had not been made for the installment, and the county was making its plans.

“What’s happening is the Elmore County 911 is requiring that that phone be there so that if somebody walks into dispatch after hours then, in addition to having a sign saying ‘dial 911,’ there will be a phone where if they do not have a cell phone they can just pick it up and talk to them,” said Davenport.

He said that so far there had not been any complaints or concerns from residents regarding the move, which was made around mid November.

Elmore County Sheriff’s Officials described it as a trend occurring both locally and throughout the state.

Wetumpka police were said to have been interested in switching their dispatch

Winter nipping at rain’s heels in forecast

By DAVID GRANGER Managing Editor

After three consecutive days of rainfall – including some that broke records in the state – is a wintry event next on Elmore County’s weather agenda?

National Weather Service meteorologists are saying that confidence in a weekend wintry event for the area is increasing, although the weekend is too far out to talk with any specifics about types of precipitation, amounts and locations.

“Elmore County could definitely be in play for a significant winter event for Friday night into early Saturday morning,” said Gary Goggins, a meteorologist with the Birmingham office of the NWS. As for the rain event of Saturday through Monday, Goggins said that “generally speaking, we’ve seen reports of between five and seven inches of rain across Elmore County (Sunday and Monday).”

Dispatch to the county facilities for some time, but recently announced they would make the effort in earnest around the beginning of the new year.

Shortly after the move to the county, EPD Chief Robert Head said it would have happened regardless, due to newly implemented state mandates.

Eclectic’s plan holds office personnel at the EPD until roughly 4 p.m. to handle calls to the station’s direct-line, however, afterward, they would be forwarded to the county dispatchers.

Davenport said the phone, whenever it is installed at the EPD, would be

continued from page 1

for use after that time.

“If they come in after those hours we will have what I call a red-line over there, a 911 hotline,” Davenport said.

Shortly after the move was made, Head said he had noticed little difference in their operation.

Going into the transition Sheriff Bill Franklin said he anticipated an occasional glitch.

However Davenport said so far things have been going well with the county delegating the town’s emergency calls, minus what he called a few administrative adjustments.

Weather Administrative Capt. Andrew McCullers, a home at 435 River Oaks Drive in Wetumpka was hit by lightning at about 3 p.m. Monday afternoon. McCullers said there was no fire or damage to the structure, except for electrical damage. The house was occupied at the time, but there were

“Everything’s been working pretty well,” Davenport said. “We’ve had a few hiccups here and there, which is normal when you’ve got shared territories. Nothing serious to think about.”

And Davenport said despite what he called a few odds and ends the transition had been made.

“The move is complete. We have some odds and ends that we gotta finish up,” Davenport said. “We have completely shutdown the dispatch area. The fire, ambulance and police are all being dispatched out of Wetumpka.”

no injuries.

Jones said that, should the winter weather come to the area this weekend, the timing is good to prevent injury or loss of life.

“It’s on a weekend, so people can just stay at home,” Jones said. “My advice would be to continue to watch

Parsonage they found a way to construct it.

Davenport said the original owners intended the property to be sold to and used by the town and it was always the plan of town officials to use the area for the construction of the extra parking space.

“The owners requested it be sold to the town,” said Davenport. “We bought it because we knew we needed parking.”

At the last town council meeting Davenport spoke about the money raised from selling the scrap of surplus town equipment and the materials from the old church parsonage that was donated to the town.

Sitting adjacent to town hall, the building soon will be leveled to construct the parking lot.

He said they raised about $1,800 from the auction, which included some town vehicles and interior materials scrapped from the parsonage.

“Once that is cleaned, out we’ve sold the awnings, we’ve sold the paneling, the windows, the doors, the cabinets – anything that anybody would pay for, we sold out of that house next door.”

He said it was sold down to the wood, wiring, windows, cabinets, doors, and air-conditioning unit.

“We stripped it out,” Davenport said.

The house is still standing while the interior is being dismantled by those who purchased the material at auction.

However Davenport said they had until the first week of

the forecast and if they continue to mention snow or ice, get your provisions on Thursday and Friday. Then when the weekend and the weather get here, stay off the road, if possible. Stay at home.”

through Girl Scouts.”

The Girl Scout Cookie Program is the nation’s largest girl-led business and the leading financial literacy program for girls. Designed for girls in grades K-12, it is a key element of the Girl Scout leadership experience. When you buy cookies from a Girl Scout, you are investing in more than a box of treats – you are supporting a girl’s future and the future leadership of our country.

Through the Girl Scout Cookie Program, girls learn five essential life skills: goal setting, decision-making, money management, people skills, and business ethics. The Girl Scout Cookie Program powers Take-Action Projects that benefit the local community, girl programs – which include science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) activities – educational trips that the troops go on together, and much more!

Those who would like to visit a nearby cookie booth can find their favorite cookies being sold at booth sales beginning Friday, Jan. 20, when troops will set up in front of local businesses and shopping centers across the area. A cookie booth locator app can be downloaded for the iPhone and Android devices.

The 2017 Girl Scout cookie sale ends on Sunday, March 5.

He said the town had made arrangements with a company to use one of its bulldozers some time this month to demolish the remainder of the structure.

The projected completion of the project is expected to be some time in February.

“We’ve been working on it for about 18 months with that original plan,” Davenport said.

He said there were some aspects of other projects that had slowed progress on the construction of the parking spaces.

One such obstacle, Davenport said, was the connection of a portion of Town Hall to the sewer system from a septic tank.

The other, he said, came by way of plans for the construction of a drive around the administrative buildings and the building-up of the land behind Town Hall.
