LETTER FROM THE MAYOR
Welcome to Dadeville! Home of the Tallapoosa County seat and the geographic center of Tallapoosa County.
More than that, Dadeville is a city of opportunities – a great place to raise a family, start a business and spend your retirement years.
Business is good in Dadeville. In fact, construction starts now are better than they have been in the last 15 years. Not a week goes by that, along with the Lake Martin Area Economic Development Alliance, we aren’t talking with someone about bringing business and industry to the Dadeville area. We look forward to more growth in the next few years.
Several buildings all around our renovated and revitalized downtown square have been sold or are in the process of being renovated to benefit the community. In addition, several new businesses have opened around the square, including clothing boutiques, specialty shops and a performing arts center, and several other businesses are coming soon. The Funky Goat and Mr. Gatti’s Pizza opened last year.
Store owners are taking pride in their storefronts and are excited to enhance the downtown area. People are flocking to the area to shop and dine every day, and to visit the city’s first mural – an Everything’s Art project on The Funky Goat building on the courthouse square. I encourage everyone to visit this mural of very special butterflies for a picture or just to reflect on what they mean to you. Dadeville and the surrounding areas have countless offerings for the
community.
The lake traffic keeps right on coming, all through football season, as we are conveniently located near Auburn University.
More than 25,000 people come through our fine city on home-game weekends, stopping in our restaurants, grocery stores and gas stations.
Our community is our churches, schools, healthcare and people. We pride ourselves on giving back to residents through fellowship, fundraisers and increasing business opportunities. After the tragic event of April 15, 2023, our love for our community was never more apparent when our city, neighbors and friends came together in thought, prayer and support to give back to those affected by the senseless tragedy. We were affected deeply and will be forever changed, but we will not allow this one tragic event to define Dadeville because we are and always will be Dadeville Strong.
As your mayor, I am pleased to welcome you home, and I invite you to stop in at Dadeville City Hall to say hello. My door is always open, and I look forward to speaking with and meeting each of you.
Jimmy “Frank” Goodman Mayor, City of Dadeville

Aesthetics and safety drove the latest improvement project at the nonprofit Dadeville Performing Arts Center on the courthouse square, as a landscaped patio and wide sidewalk were completed at the back of the building early this month.
Broadnax Street, at the front of the building, is a heavily traveled state highway, especially in downtown Dadeville as residents conduct business at the courthouse across the street from DPAC.
“There is a lot of traffic at the front of the building, and that made it difficult to drop children off for classes and pick them up,” Walls said.
The solution also addressed an erosion problem along the back of the building on Bryan Street. The steep hillside of red clay was developing deep ruts from water runoff, making it near impossible to arrange deliveries off the busy main road.
“We had been planning the project for about a year,” Walls said. “We worked with the other businesses on the block – Mr. Payne at Payne’s Furniture, Elaby’s and Dwayne Britton who owns Miller’s on Broadnax.”
Creative Habitats designed an expanded patio below DPAC’s back deck and a curving sidewalk that is wide enough and strong enough to carry the weight of a vehicle. Gary Ingram Grading and Paving donated fill dirt for the project, which helped to keep the cost of the improvements under $15,000, Walls said. Additional donations also made the project possible.
Caterers and suppliers now can drive up the hill to transfer food and supplies, and parents can pull through Bryan Street to drop off and pick up their children in a less stressed situation.
Drainage from the flat roofs of the buildings is directed to water the trees in the area.
“With this, we have a nice drop-off spot for children at the back of the building. Parking is scarce around the square. And it’s safer,” Walls said.
Up lighting soon will be added for security after dark and to complete the ambiance of the improvements.
“I had a meeting at Pennington Park down the hill the other day, and the walk back to the building was not as strenuous. It was very pleasant,” Walls said.
Next on the list of improvement wishes at DPAC will be lights for the canopy at the center’s front door and lighting the center’s sign.
The building was constructed in 1924 by G.A. Veazy, an outstanding young merchant. Throughout its history, the building has served the community as a hardware store, a billiard parlor and a movie theater.
“I heard it was once a handball court,” Walls said. “It had been The Red Door, which was arts and crafts and wine. And for a while it was a print shop.”
As the DPAC Board of Directors continues to make improvements and draw performers for music, readings and live theater, the building serves the community as a venue for the arts and entertainment. And now, as the surroundings are more pleasant, it’s also safer and easier to use the facility.
Dadeville Kiwanis
STORY BY SAMUEL HIGGS
The Dadeville Lake Martin Chapter of Kiwanis International celebrated its 90th year this past summer by awarding $26,000 in scholarships to local students. The international nonprofit service club has operated since its inception in 1915, helping kids not just within communities of their own but communities across the world. In 1934, the Dadeville area created its own branch of Kiwanis.
Until 1987, Kiwanis allowed only men as members, but since then, things have changed, Today, 26 percent of current members are women. On Kiwanis’ 100th anniversary, Sue Petrisin was installed as the Kiwanis International president after having served as the first female vice president as well.
The Kiwanis motto, “Serving kids around the world,” is evident in its actions. Each year, Kiwanis sponsors nearly 150,000 service projects, more than 18.5 million hours in community service, and the club has raised more than $100 million. Throughout its time it has been involved in projects like the elimination of iodine deficiency disorder (IDD) and started the Eliminate Project dedicated to wiping out maternal and neonatal tetanus. The numbers from 2023 currently sit at over 450,000 members worldwide, 7.7 million service hours and more than $1.1 million granted by Kiwanis Children’s’ Fund.
The main goal for any Kiwanis club is to help children through many different avenues: nutrition, education, literacy and youth development. The Dadeville Lake Martin Club is no different with much of what they do benefiting the children in the community.
Phil Evers joined in 1977 and is quickly approaching his 50th year as a member. He reminisced on some of the things he did when he first joined the Kiwanis Club.
“In those days, our fundraising projects were an annual rodeo, selling bags of peanuts in the fall and fruitcake on Christmas,” Evers wrote. “Over the years, all of those events went away. I think we were already doing Pancake Day when I joined. We are still doing Pancake Day. We took up tickets at Dadeville High School football games for many years.”
Along with Evers, Tony Johnson is another club member who has been with the Dadeville
Lake Martin Kiwanis for a while. This year is Johnson’s 50th year, and he is on track to reach the qualifications for a 50-year pin that is awarded to long standing members.
During the 90th anniversary of the Dadeville Lake Martin Kiwanis, current secretary Brenda Floyd commended Johnson Evers for being the foundation of Kiwanis in Dadeville. Floyd also mentioned former Lake Martin Dadeville-Area Chamber of Commerce President Peggy Bullard as another seasoned member.
The Dadeville Lake Martin club was one of the only clubs in Alabama to welcome Key Club members to every meeting. Students from Dadeville High School are frequent attendees to the meetings held every Thursday.
In addition to the outreach done both worldwide and locally, Kiwanis provides scholarships and grants to high school students. For Key Club members, like those from Dadeville that attend the weekly meeting, there are two scholarships available — The Kiwanis Children’s Fund Scholarship and Linda Canaday Memorial Scholarship, each of which will be awarded a minimum amount of $2,300.
Circle K International scholarships like the John E. Mayfield Circle K Scholarship and the Circle K International Past Presidents’ Scholarship are also available for those who meet the qualifications.
During the 2024 fiscal year, the Dadeville Lake Martin Kiwanis Club has given out $26,000 to local scholarships and organizations.
There will also be similar events like those held in years past, like Girls Ranch Day, where the club will visit the ranch to have a picnic and play games. Another will include a Christmas party and another for the cadets at Southern Prep Academy.
“Every December, we have a Christmas party for the Girls Ranch and also for Lyman Ward, now known as Southern Prep,” Evers wrote. “We give them each a gift and a dinner. Probably our most expensive projects were Creation Plantation at $75,000 and the rebuilding of the tennis courts.”
The Dadeville Lake Martin Kiwanis Club has done much throughout its 90 years of operation, and they certainly aren’t done yet. The group will continue to help out the community and provide children with scholarship opportunities to attend college.
“I think this is something that our community will be proud of and can benefit from.”

With land cleared and pre-construction grading in process, the first structure could be up and running with a year at Tallapoosa County’s agritourism center, said district 2 Commissioner Steve Robinson.
In July 2023, the Tallapoosa County Commission approved the construction of an agricultural facility on U.S. Route 280 in Jackson’s Gap. The project is now in its first phase of development, with nearly a year of development under the county’s belt. The project was spearheaded by the Tallapoosa County Commission to provide a space for agricultural educational activities and sporting events. Robinson said a 300-foot by 200-foot building will be constructed on the county’s 42-acre site. Initially, the building will have an open-air design to it, with the ability to enclose it if necessary.
“Initially, we talked to other people that have similar facilities,” Robinson said. “We did site visits to two other locations that have comparable buildings to this.”
The facility will have an arena with bleachers to accommodate up to 1,000 people. The bleachers will have removable railings and gates. Robinson said
the initial activities held at the facility could include rodeos, school events and animal showings. With roughly 2,000 students in the Tallapoosa County Extension 4-H program, the facility will provide a space for many of their activities and competitions.
“The Benjamin Russell High School FFA has a rodeo every year,” Robinson said. “It’s one of their big fundraisers. So, we’re hoping that we’ll have the arena ready by next August for them.”
Although the project has been in process for just under a year, it had been discussed for years prior.
“I’ve been working on this for a couple years now, too, with the help of the FFA, Shane Harris at Extension and some other folks,” District 3 Commissioner John McKelvey said. “We’ve invested in the property. The goal is to have our covered arena where we can have everything from a farmer’s market to a rodeo to a dog or pig show.”
In addition to an outdoor arena, the site will include a large parking lot for those attending events. There also will be trailer parking available for anyone traveling on rodeo circuits or bringing animals on

trailers for shows.
One phase of the development will offer a classroom that could accommodate roughly 400 people. McKelvey said this building will include a convention center for large groups, as well as an outdoor grilling area.
“There will be opportunities for learning and education related to everything ag,” Robinson said.
While the facility will offer area residents the opportunity to experience popular activities on a local scale, one of the main goals for this project is to increase tourism in Tallapoosa County.
“Our goal is to use those lodging fees we collect from the people we have coming in for tourism,” McKelvey said. “We’re going to use part of those funds for this facility because it will be a tourist attraction.”
Robinson said the commission collectively agreed that this facility would not only provide a new facility for hundreds of people in the county, but also, it will serve as a return on investment for the county.
The facility will open to the public after phase one of construction is complete. While it will first serve as an open-air facility, there is potential to add onto it.
The facility will have an arena with bleachers to accommodate up to 1,000 people
Additionally, the county also owns 57 acres across U.S. Route 280 from the initial building site, so expansion of the project could be accomplished if the opportunity presents itself.
“We can just continue to add things we feel the community would benefit from, as well as things surrounding counties can benefit from,” Robinson said. “We had a vision, if you will, to do some things that residents of our county go to other places to spend money to do. So, we wanted to take advantage. From a tourism perspective, it made sense. From a county revenue perspective, it makes sense just to have things in our own community we can use.”
The center has the potential to provide safety measures for the community. The building also could serve as a shelter in the event of a natural disaster.
Robinson believes the ag center will bring many opportunities to the area, from both within and outside of the county.
“I think this is something that our community will be proud of and can benefit from,” Robinson said.
Crime Stoppers awards local police officers
DSTORY BY & PHOTOS BY ABIGAIL MURPHY

Department is here to serve and protect, but the night of April 15, 2023, required the department to do that and more.
April 15 was the night of a mass shooting in downtown Dadeville with 32 injuries and four deaths. Due to the quick and attentive response of the department, Central Alabama Crime Stoppers awarded Sergeant Nathan White with the Officer of the Year Award.
At 10:34 p.m. that night, White and Jessica Mace, his partner at the time, arrived on the scene, just 40 seconds after hearing ‘shots fired’ over the radio transmission.
White said there was a crowd of people, as the scene was originally a 16-year-old’s birthday party. White and Mace were on their own for the first eight minutes as they established the scene and waited for backup. White continued to work until 6 a.m. that morning.
“If you had asked me, I thought I would have seen and done just about everything, but that was different,” White said. “It was unlike anything I’d ever seen or been through. I’ve spent five years on patrol, another 10 in
investigation. I did SWAT for four years, and I have been in some dangerous situations. I have been down range; I have had people try and stab me, but none of that compared to what that night was.”
White said the hardest part of police work is anything involving children. While he has experience in child investigations, he said that night hurt 100 times more.
Receiving the Officer of the Year award, White said he is honored, but he wishes that night had never happened, not so much for him — but for the victims.
White wasn’t the only one Central Alabama Crime Stoppers recognized for their efforts during the night of April 15. Police Chief Jonathan Floyd was awarded the Crime Stoppers Community Relations Officer of the Year.
As soon as Floyd got the call about the shooting that night, he started putting people into place with officers at the scene, at Lake Martin Community Hospital and at Russell Medical. Floyd said that first night the focus was on the victims and identifying the shooters. Neighboring agencies also came in to support the Dadeville Police Department.
“We don't do this for recognition; we don't do this for accolades or awards. We do this so we can serve our community and take care of our victims.”
~ Sheriff Jimmy Abbett
“This is not about me,” Floyd said of winning the award. “I had a conversation with Tallapoosa County Sheriff Jimmy Abbett, who received the same award, and he said it best, ‘This is about the victims.’ We don’t do this for recognition; we don’t do this for accolades or awards. We do this, so we can serve our community and take care of our victims. When Crime Stoppers presented the award, it made me feel very humble, very appreciative and caught off guard. I just don’t think I’m more deserving than anybody else.”
The investigation from the night of April 15 wrapped up in less than a week with six arrests made. Over the past year and a half since the tragedy, the six suspects have been awaiting trial with two to be tried as juveniles. Floyd said he hopes the community continues to find healing.
“Try to get life as close to normal as we can,” Floyd said, looking to the future. “Because part of the healing process is living. We want to be able to do that, move forward and have the quality of life people deserve. For our victims, our victim families, normal won’t exist the way it did prior to April 15, 2023, but however my hope, my prayers for them are to get as close to normal as they possibly can. Because they are the ones who deserve the best life.”

Crape Myrtles that were previously downtown around the square have been given new life in different locations around Dadeville
New Life for Beloved Crape Myrtles
Beautification Board's last minute move saves flowering shrubs
STORY & PHOTO BY BETSY ILER
The beautiful square that now glimmers with holiday lights and white trees at Christmas once dripped with the traditional Southern charm of brilliant crape myrtles in dedicated planters. The crape myrtle containers graced every corner around the square, as well as sidewalk sections around the square’s four blocks. Each planter was fixed with a small metal marker identifying clubs, businesses or individuals that donated to the landscaping project in the mid-1990s. So established were these trees that no one seems to know when or why they originally were planted.
But five years ago, most of the planters were demolished in the name of progress. They were replaced with wide sidewalks, pedestrianfriendly ramps and wrought iron railings in the face of a highway renovation that offers more exposure for downtown businesses and safety for pedestrians. The renovation has given new life to the traditional Southern courthouse square, and new businesses and restaurants have sprung up to invite passersby to stop, shop and dine. The Dadeville Beautification Board turns that new square into a holiday wonderland that draws even more people downtown throughout the Christmas season.
But the charm and beauty of the brilliant pink blooms that once brightened the square was not lost in the wake of progress; instead, it simply moved to other roadsides in and around Dadeville.
“When the transportation department drew up the plans to redo the square, the crape myrtles that had been planted there a long time ago had to go,” said DBB’s Jerry McGukin. “The contractor said they were told to dispose of them.”
“I was determined not to just let them put
them in the landfill,” said Wayne Smith, a beautification board member who was mayor at the time.
“We wanted to salvage them, if possible,” McGukin said. “The contractor said they would help us, but they couldn’t spend a lot of time digging the trees out. We got about 15 or 20 of the trees and moved them to other places in town.”
Rayford Farrington, another beautification board member at the time, planted a row of them along the roadside entering town from South Street.
“He put them under irrigation. That saved them. He maybe lost one plant there, but the others are still doing well,” McGukin said. “Kurt Pfitzner had just bought the city block on Spring Street, and he was developing the park. We moved some of them there. He did a good job watering them, and all but one survived. There were two or three moved to the hospital.
“Mind you, this was done with very little preparation at the hottest time in July. It’s a miracle any of them survived.”
Only two of the original planters and crape myrtles remain on the square – one on the corner at Payne Furniture and one outside the renovated Miller’s on Broadnax. A few other trees landed here or there about town where they became such fixtures that no one remembers where they came from or when they were planted.
While it might have been a sad day to lose summer’s glorious show of color when the traditional Southern landscaping was removed, the brilliant blooms still grace roadsides, park edges and corners about town, adding a touch of sweet summer charm wherever they grow.
TIGER TEAMS PRIMED FOR FUTURE SUCCESS
STORY BY HENRY ZIMMER
PHOTOS BY SAMUEL HIGGS & CLIFF WILLIAMS
Dadeville's Jay Burns (5) attempts a pass against Glenwood
The summer of 2024 was the summer of Dadeville High School athletics. Since Chad McKelvey took over as the school’s athletic director and football coach, the entire school has seen tremendous growth and achievement, even before the school year began. From teams getting into the new gym and new-look teams, the Tigers were primed for a tremendous 2024-25 sporting season.
FOOTBALL
As the Tiger football team looks to make its fifth straight run to the playoffs, Coach McKelvey has been hard at work revamping the program. McKelvey took on local leadership consultant David Jones to help start a leadership program within the team. Jones has begun a weekly leadership course to help diversify the athletes beyond the playing field. The coaching staff has also seen former Dadeville players join, like Matt Harrison and Freddy Ford. Also, Dadeville will be rolling out new electronic review equipment on the sidelines. The school has begun the process of further leveling the field as well.
The coaching staff has installed televisions around the facilities to display messages of encouragement and to reinforce how important the players are. New weights, cable machines and weight sleds for the field were added to give the Tigers more opportunity to be at their best.
Down the line, McKelvey wants to acquire new helmets and upgraded uniforms. Guardian caps, or the protective shells teams use on top of helmets during practice, are also something the coaching staff wants to purchase to prevent concussions. The upgrades will be done as the school and county can afford them. As soon as football season ends, the stadium will be getting a drainage upgrade to prevent flooding on the home sideline and stands.
Dadeville will face a tough schedule in 2024, facing off against only one team that didn’t make the playoffs the previous year with a combined overall record of 90-29. The team will return a handful of key starters, and under the leadership of McKelvey, things look incredibly bright for Dadeville football.
BASKETBALL
Both girls and boys basketball teams played in play dates all over the state during the summer, ramping up for the winter season. Neither team made the playoffs last year, but they are looking to install new systems within their relatively young teams for future success.
The boys’ squad will see Jay Burns and Brandez Eason return to the court after injuries kept them out last year. Sophomore Davis McKelvey has gained a good bit of muscle mass, according to Coach Jessie Foster, and looks to be a key feature down low for the team. Sophomore Corde Jefferson is being asked to be a defensive guy while senior Ky Moss has
improved around the glass from last year to now.
As for the girls, Coach Brownie Caldwell is entering her second season at the helm. Wins were hard to come by in Caldwell’s first season, and she has used the summer to turn that around.
The girls competed in play dates at Horseshoe Bend, Reeltown and Loachapoka but are still trying to solidify their roster. Caldwell is looking for a consistent guard or two to run the offense and is going to rely on some freshmen to play big minutes due to lack of overall size with the team.
In an effort to gain more playing time and more burn as a group, Caldwell is going to enlist the help of Dadeville’s younger boys’ basketball teams to give her squad more energy competition through the offseason.
Earlier this summer, the AHSAA approved the use of shot clocks in select games. Those games include any non-area regular season game and only if both coaches and schools agree to do so.
VOLLEYBALL
Dadeville volleyball will have a new coach this year, as the school hired Beverly Barron to lead the team. Already, Barron has been hard at work with her squad.
In the middle of July, Barron hosted a youth camp featuring former college coaches. Barron will also be teaching science at the high school.
The volleyball team has taken full advantage of the new gym and began competition early in the school year.
As for expectations, Barron used the summer to build a solid framework of basic skills before fans packed the gym for the team’s first game.
“We are a little young, so what I hope everyone sees is good, basic skills,” Barron said. “When the community comes out, they are going to see our girls playing solid volleyball. We may not win every time, but we will give it a solid effort every time.”
CHEERLEADING
Coach Deanna Jennings also was hard at work with her team this summer, and it paid off at UCA camp. The Tigers took first place overall with a superior performance in Camp Dance. Competing in the large varsity division against four other schools, Dadeville was crowned the best of the group. It was the first time in at least three years the team was able to take the top spot.
Individually, Jennings herself and Ava Sanders both left with Pin It Forward awards, given to those who best exemplify team spirit and an upbeat attitude through the camp’s duration.
Claire Smith and Quaniya Morgan, both seniors, joined Katie Holley as All-American honorees.
The unit also attended Camp Premier Spirit Academy in Auburn to expand their overall portfolio before football season started.
“Cheerleaders put way more into the offseason than people realize,” Jennings said. “They have built some good individual and squad skills.”

When tragedy strikes, the only thing to do is to come together.
“People see it as they drive into town, they see it as they leave town, and we want the people that come into our community to see and know, especially these families, that they’ve not been forgotten. We still suffer with them, and we still feel their pain,” said Elaine Forbus, co-chair of the Dadeville Beautification Board, which is coordinating the development of a Memorial Garden at Keebler Park for those affected by 2023’s mass shooting.
The April 15, 2023, shooting resulted in four deaths and 32 people injured, many of the victims were teenagers or young adults. During the aftermath, community members raised funds to aid affected families, held prayer vigils, created care baskets and overall leaned on one another through the storm.
As the recovery process continued, one very important
question emerged: What could be done to ensure this tragedy would never be forgotten?
On April 15 one year after the tragedy, a memorial garden was dedicated to the lives lost and those injured or affected in any way. The garden was established at Keebler Park, and it’s the first thing anyone sees as they enter the park.
While the memorial garden was created through the Dadeville Beautification Board and community partners, Pediatric Associates’ Dr. Eric Tyler initiated the idea. Tyler wanted to help spearhead a memorial garden that could also be a place for reflection, meditation or prayer as the community continued to recover.
Through the help of Dadeville resident Rhonda Ogletree and Pennington Park owner Kurt Pfitzner, Tyler got in contact with the beautification board, and the board knew the perfect place for the garden would be Keebler Park.
Students helped plant trees as part of the memorial garden
The Dadeville Beautification Board is a collection of private citizens who are dedicated to improving and maintaining the aesthetic beauty of the city. Though funded by donations and grant monies, the board works with City officials to plan projects, and board members do most of the hands on work. Board members already had a section of the park they were improving with landscaping. At the time, the board was also creating a handprint wall with memorabilia bricks from the old Creation Plantation playground that was taken down a few years ago due to aging.
Along with the wall, the beautification board was planning to create a walkway with trees aligning the path. But after talking with Tyler, the board realized they could do something more.
“It’s a treasure to have something coming into our community, if you’re coming in from state Route 49 South, to welcome you — a memorial garden to honor those and to memorialize those that were injured or killed,” Forbus said. “It shows people that our community has a heart.”
And many players in the community helped make the garden possible. Roughly 30 Dadeville High School students helped to plant trees around the garden. Tyler made a significant donation, and Lake Martin Area Association of Realtors also supported the project financially.
With the help of the city council, the City of Dadeville agreed to purchase an obelisk monument, which will be made of black granite and inlaid with gold in honor of Dadeville High School’s colors. The monument is under construction, but a temporary obelisk has been placed at the park for the time being.
health initiatives. But after the shooting, healing was about more than just the trials from the pandemic.
Co-chair of the Dadeville Beautification Board Mickey Forbus, along with his employees at Forbus Custom Pools, did a majority of the concrete work for the path. Through Mickey’s connections, SiteMix Concrete also donated the concrete for the project.
Within the concrete work itself there is imagery. The circle around the monument represents the circle of life, which is divided into four sections in memory of the four deaths. Then, the walkway is divided into 32 sections in honor of the 32 injured.
“Our mission is to make our community a more beautiful and loving place in which to live, and that’s added beauty to our community,” Forbus said of the memorial garden. “The park is an asset for our community, and I hope that people will keep the park looking nice. We need to take ownership of it and help keep it an outstanding place to visit.”
Prior to the April 15 shooting, the Equal Neighborhoods Initiative was working in Keebler Park on the project’s healing zone. Originally, the ENI grant was about healing from the COVID-19 pandemic by providing funding for underserved cities to invest in
“Our city is still healing from the tragedy of the April 15 shooting,” said ENI Community Liaison and Council Member Teneeshia Johnson. “We are reminded everyday of all the lives that were lost and the lives that were disrupted. We need something to permanently honor them.”
With the Dadeville Beautification Board overseeing the memorial garden, ENI is also adding a bike rack, a raised garden with flowers, exercise equipment, benches, picnic tables around the walking trail and making these additions ADA compliant. While all these initiatives generate health both physically and mentally, the memorial garden is about reflection.
“I think people see us in a different light now and that we see each other in a different light now, honestly,” Johnson said. “Because no matter how different we are — race, religion, it doesn’t matter. At the end of the day, we all value precious lives. That was an event we did not see coming. We didn’t know how it was going to be handled, but I think the people of Dadeville handled it in a way that, at this point, I wouldn’t want to live anywhere else.”

Dadeville native Eric McKinley opened Lake Martin Grocery just outside the StillWaters main gate on state Route 49 over the summer to provide quality groceries to residents and visitors around the lake.
“I just really felt like it was needed,” McKinley said. “I feel like this side of the lake is really starting to explode.”
McKinley aims to provide those in the Lake Martin area with a huge selection of produce, meat and common groceries found in most households. He sources store products through the same warehouse as Piggly Wiggly, but he also works with multiple vendors to provide a wide selection of options for patrons. With this being McKinley’s first experience owning and operating a grocery store, he attributes its precipitous success to those he works with.
“We probably have 15 or more different vendors we buy from,” McKinley said. “Piggly Wiggly, the vendors, everybody’s been so phenomenal by just trying to coach me through the process.”
Since opening in early July, Lake Martin Grocery has received positive recognition from its shoppers. While the wide selection of goods, combined with reputable customer service, deems the grocery store a quality retailer, many compliments have regarded the meat and produce choices.
“We’ve got a great team in those areas,” McKinley said. “Our butcher and his team will cut steaks to choice. Our produce manager has been phenomenal. He’s handled all the produce. He knows exactly what to buy, where we need to buy it and so on and so forth. I just rely on him.”
Lake Martin Grocery has a wide range of fresh,

clean produce found on the right side of the store after entering the building. In the back, a huge selection of various meats and cuts is available for purchase.
“Our butchers, Josh Stroud, Montavious Allen and Wes Partridge are just phenomenal at what they do,” McKinley said. “We’re buying top-of-the-line meat, so we get certified Angus, and everything we’ve got is high quality.”
Now that state Route 49 has a full-service a grocery store, Lake Martin vacationers no longer have to make a day trip to purchase groceries for a weekend at the lake. Lake Martin Grocery is right down the road from Lake Martin neighborhoods and communities and provides plenty to fill a lake house pantry. Lake Martin vacationers and locals alike have proved this through their positive feedback since the
store opened.
“We’ve had tremendous support from the public,” McKinley said. “I think we’re just overwhelmed with the support. We tried to deliver a great product at a fair price. I’m thankful to be able to provide this kind of service to the community, and the community’s support has just been unbelievable. We’ve got nothing but positive comments everywhere we look.”
The store is open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Thursday. On Fridays and Saturdays, the store is open from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m.
The store offers quality brands, groceries and other products

New on the Square
STORY BY MELODY RATHEL PHOTOS BY ABIGAIL MURPHY
If you’ve spent time in Dadeville, you’ve more than likely heard the saying, “Dadeville is booming.” One indication of that boom is the influx of small business owners who have opened stores in downtown Dadeville.
Just a half-mile off state Route 280 is an epicenter where history and modernism harmoniously thrive through oneof-a-kind retail, dining, arts and entertainment venues. From Tallapoosa Nutrition serving healthy and energizing beverages to the Dadeville Performing Arts Center hosting a wide variety of events, as well as dining venues, boutiques, furniture and more, there is something for everyone to love.
So, what’s new in downtown Dadeville?
MILLER’S ON BROADNAX
One of the newest establishments on the square is also one of the most historic. In its past, the brick building on the corner of East Columbus and North Broadnax streets was home to the Miller Hotel. After closing in the 1950s, the hotel is making a comeback. Through the renovation project, building owner Dwayne Britton pays homage to one of the city’s most influential families — the Millers. The family played a huge role in Dadeville’s development and is credited with the location choice for Martin Dam. The original hotel was built by Nora Miller, and Britton’s plan revives the vibe with a top-floor luxurious bed-andbreakfast rendition of hospitality on Dadeville’s square. Although the bed-and-breakfast style hotel is still in the
Miller's
development process, Britton partnered with Dennis Kirkland to bring a unique restaurant to the building as well. Kirkland was the owner of Fusion Grill, a popular local restaurant known for its unique and delicious flavor combinations. Kirkland closed Fusion Grill to operate Miller’s on Broadnax, the restaurant now serving on the first floor of the building.
The eatery is open and in full operation. It seats roughly 90 people and serves local favorites from Fusion Grill. Visitors can find menu items unique to the restaurant such as the Que Fries, the Blackberry Boondoggle, a variety of burgers, sandwiches and salads and several one-of-a-kind food options. In addition to their special entrees, many of the eatery’s sauces and jams are made in-house. Their homemade pimento cheese has been a local favorite at both Fusion and Miller’s.
While the restaurant has been open for several months, construction continues on the hotel.
SELF CARE AT THE SQUARE
Right behind Miller’s is the new Self Care at the Square, a salon catering to the importance of self-love. Amanda Sherum, a Dadeville native, opened this salon to spread positivity in her community while providing pampering services like massages, facials and nail and hair services. Ultimately, Sherum’s goal is to spread the importance of loving oneself, and she does so through sharing her love for cosmetology.
“I graduated from Dadeville High School in 1995,” Sherum said. “Returning to my hometown to participate in the economic growth and restoration of the community was an easy choice.”
Since returning to her hometown, she has been overwhelmed by the support from her lifelong friends. Developing relationships with all her clients has been the best part of having Self Care at the Square, she said.
THE GRAND BAKERY
If you leave Miller’s with an inclination for dessert, check out The Grand Bakery next door. Inside, a plethora of handcrafted treats are available. From cupcakes to brownies, pound cake, cheesecake and more, the bakery has sweets for every palate. The Grand Bakery is the dream of owner Taylor Nobles, who has wanted to open a bakery in a downtown area since she was 13 years old.
Nobles hails from Newnan, Georgia, where she did open a bakery, but when her parents moved to Lake Martin in 2020, she discovered Dadeville and admired the downtown area. Nobles and her husband moved to Dadeville shortly after her parents, and the rest fell into place seamlessly. A building space downtown became available, and her mother was able to sign a contract for a business.
“It just all fell in our lap,” Nobles said. “It was like God said, ‘Here you go.’”
Some fan favorite desserts from the bakery are its

sourdough cinnamon rolls, butter pecan cookies and cookie sandwiches. Since October of last year, the bakery has been serving homestyle, Southern desserts in downtown Dadeville.
SWEET MAGNOLIA’S SALON AND SPA
The gift shop and boutique, Flutterflies, opened in Dadeville nearly two years ago. Since its beginnings in March 2023, the gift shop and boutique has thrived. But Flutterflies recently relocated to a building down the block on Tallassee Street, next to the Tallapoosa County Bank. Doing so provided room to add a completely new business to the quaint little shop.
Sweet Magnolia’s is a salon and spa located inside Flutterflies. Relocating, combined with milestones in Flutterflies owner Amy Koon’s family, allowed Koon’s daughter, Malorie, to open the spa. Malorie recently graduated from massage therapy school and was anxious to put her newly acquired talents to use. At the same time, family friend Zoe Watkins graduated from cosmetology school. With two new forces now available, Koon decided a salon and spa would mesh perfectly with Flutterflies.
Sweet Magnolia’s offers multiple nail and hair services, waxing, lashes, facials, massages and more.
CAMELLIA CAFE
The early riser can find a niche at the Camellia Café, another new venue on the square. Named after the Alabama
State flower, the Camellia, the restaurant specializes in breakfast and lunch. From 7 a.m. to 11 a.m. Wednesday through Monday, the Camellia Cafe serves Southern style breakfast with a twist. From homestyle quiches to customizable omelets, all early morning preferences are met. From 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., the restaurant serves burgers, etouffees, sandwiches and more. For a full dining experience, desserts are offered to complete any meal. The restaurant is open every day except Tuesday. The Camellia Cafe opens at 12 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday.
This establishment was brought downtown by a long-term Dadeville local. Jeremy Whaley, an assistant professor of retail, hospitality and tourism management, opened the restaurant with a goal of growing a small restaurant into a multi-unit operation.
Whether you’re a lifelong Dadeville resident, or just stopping in for a weekend, spend your next early morning at the Camellia Cafe. The restaurant is located at 105 West Columbus Street in Dadeville.

Pennington Park Celebrates Community
Some 2,100

flags
in Pennington Park to commemorate our nation's fallen soldiers
One of the city’s favorite places is Pennington Park, and a favorite time of year to be there is Memorial Day weekend. Pennington Park is the private property of Col. (ret.) Kurt Pfitzner and his wife, Leigh. The Pfitzners purchased the last undeveloped block in Dadeville’s downtown when they retired at Lake Martin, and they have turned it into a park for the community. They host art shows, farmers markets, Santa Claus visits and other events throughout the year, but one of their biggest endeavors is the planting of some 2,100 flags to commemorate our nation’s fallen soldiers. Every year, they add something new to the display. In May of 2025, that something will be a horse.
Not a real horse, but an ethereal horse – almost a shadow of a horse. Shaped with chicken wire, the horse will be part of a six-piece set that also includes an officer saluting an infantryman, a nurse, a Navy man and a soldier.
“And I finally broke the code on the horse,” Pfitzner said. “I wanted to have the horse in the display last year, but I didn’t get it done in time. I figured out how to do it, now, and we’ll add that next year.”
Pfitzner created the wire statues with the idea that they would be transparent. Mere ghostly shadows of the men and women who have served their country through the generations.
“The realism is in the generic image,” Pfitzner explained. “The transparency is meant to evoke emotion, to represent those who have gone before us. When you have those images of the soldiers from the past guarding their fellow men and women in arms, it evokes a sense of pride, remembrance and respect, whether or not they died in battle.”
The display also includes markers with the names, ranks and branches of service of veterans with local connections. The flags are arranged to outline a cross with a tall flagpole and a large U.S. flag at the crossbeams’ center. Two wreaths also are displayed.
As the time draws near for the flags to be planted, the Pfitzners put out an allpoints bulletin for volunteers. Veterans, teachers, students, beautification board members and many others respond, turning out for the privilege of honoring our country’s service men and women by spending a few hours erecting this memorial.
At Christmas, the Pfitzners invite businesses and individuals to decorate trees on the park lawn, and local residents wander along a winding path to view these greetings in the park. A special mailbox appears at the park, and every letter to Santa that is left in the mailbox is answered personally by the Jolly Old Elf himself. Not only that, but Santa also makes the trip south to spend a day or two in the park’s gazebo, visiting with children, having pictures taken and hearing about their Christmas dreams. Like the flag display, the Christmas event grows each year.
The park hops all summer long, too, with special events, birthday parties, cancer walks and other gatherings. Pennington Park has even hosted a wedding or two in its service to the community.
“We’re just happy to let people use the park with permission. Activities must be approved in advance,” Pfitzner said. “But its purpose is to bring the community together, to share, to have fun, to celebrate Dadeville.”

TALLAPOOSA COUNTY SCHOOLS SUPERINTENDENT
STORY BY ABIGAIL MURPHY
PHOTO BY EDWARD TAYLOR
Afamiliar face has stepped in as interim superintendent of Tallapoosa County Schools.
Casey Davis is now leading the school district he was once a product of — being an alumnus of Dadeville High School. Nearly 28 years of Davis’ career in education has been spent serving Tallapoosa County Schools.
Davis attended two years at Central Alabama Community College before transferring to Auburn University at Montgomery to complete his education degree. He started as a high school teacher at Dadeville, where he received several opportunities that led him to become interested in administration.
“During that time, I taught computer and technology application, which was new to the field of education at that point in the mid to late ’90s. I completed my administrative certification, and I was hired as the alternative school administrator for the district,” Davis said.
A couple of years later, he went on to be the assistant principal at Horseshoe Bend School; and then, he took over as principal of HBS in 2008. Davis moved into the central office as director of curriculum and instruction in 2015. He transitioned into director of student services, public relations and safety. He became deputy superintendent in 2020.
Now as interim superintendent, Davis said his work has shifted to building up his team to take on his former roles; however, the transition has been made easier with the great team at the district’s central office.
“As deputy superintendent, I served as director of operations — that person who had their thumb on the heartbeat of everything that was going on. I do those things as superintendent, but I do it a little bit more hands-free on that part of it. I still know what’s going on, but I’m not as involved in the day-to-day operations because there are other responsibilities that are required of a superintendent,” Davis said.
Many of his new responsibilities align with bigpicture thinking about the school district. Having worked alongside former superintendents Ray Porter and Joseph Windle, Davis said he hopes to continue
to be transparent about what the school district and board are doing.
“We want to be good stewards of the financial resources and of the facilities that we have been given here in Tallapoosa County. During Mr. Porter’s administration, he had the opportunity to build and improve many of our facilities here, and by no means are we 100 percent complete on that. So, I definitely want to continue the improvement of our physical plans and our facilities on that and our infrastructures to provide that 21st century learning environment for our students and for our staff while making sure they are in safe environments,” Davis said.
Davis’ overall vision for the Tallapoosa County Schools is to leave it better than he found it, but that includes objectives such as continuing to improve facilities, continuing to improve academics, from credentialing to graduation rates, and to see a steady increase in student enrollment.
Davis said the district has already seen some success with its re-accreditation through Cognia, formerly known as Southern Association of Colleges and Schools or SACS.
“I think the most important thing we can remember is that the Tallapoosa County education system is not one person: It’s not one person’s vision. It’s important who we have on our board. It’s important who we have in our classrooms, and it’s important we all work together as a team. Our parents are our greatest resource, and that’s one thing I stress to all our teachers and principals: Communicate with your parents. Communicate with your stakeholders because this is their school system. We are just the stewards of it for a short time, and for that short time, we have the awesome responsibility to build and leave it better than the way they found it.”
Outside of work, Davis enjoys spending time with the communities in Tallapoosa County, spending time with his family, spending time in nature, going to live theater and traveling.
Casey Davis has worked with the school district for the past 27 years and was previously the principal at Horseshoe Bend
