Goodman, Smith head to mayoral runoff

Unknown results in election Provisional ballots key in Jackson’s Gap By CLIFF WILLIAMS Staff Writer

One vote really does count. After all the votes have been tabulated from Tuesday’s municipal election, Jackson’s Gap voters are still unsure if incumbent mayor Jeff Walker has been reelected or if their will be a runoff between Walker and Kim Henderson. Some of the confusion stems from votes posted outside the polling place in the basement of the Jackson’s Gap Town Hall that showed the totals without the absentee counts and the provisional ballots still outstanding. “That posting is handled by the poll inspector,” Jackson’s Gap City Clerk Kathleen Thomas said. “It did not show the absentee ballots or the provisional ballots cast.” Walker received 83 votes at the polls and nine by absentee giving Walker 92 total votes and Henderson received 47 votes at the polls and none by absentee according to See JACKSON • Page 3

Council Districts 2, 3 and 4 also headed to runoffs

Sunday alcohol sales can begin right away after Tuesday’s vote By MITCH SNEED Editor

Dadeville, Alexander City and New Site will all have Sunday alcohol sales in the near future. Tuesday in municipal elections, voters in all three of those towns gave Sunday sales a thumbs up and according to officials with the Alabama League of Municipalities, the new Sunday sales hours can begin right away. Dadeville voters overwhelmingly voted for Sunday alcohol sales. The final count showed 532 voters cast ballots for the measure while 254 were against it. In a previous Dadeville City Council

meeting, it was suggested that the city pass it so that people who only shop on Sunday might keep their purchases in town. Council members said they were glad to let the people decide the question. “We need to develop new revenues to keep providing the services that we provide,” Dadeville City Council member Randy Foster said when the resolution was put on the ballot. “But at the same time, I don’t want to ram it down someone’s throat. Letting the people decide is the right thing.” In Alexander City, the measure passed by a very wide margin. Sixty-two percent See ALCOHOL • Page 5

Dadeville will have to wait a few more weeks to see who the new mayor will be to follow a retiring Joe Smith. It is a near dead heat between current council member Frank Goodman and former council member Wayne Smith. Smith garnered 315 votes to Goodman’s 314 in Tuesday’s municipal election where 823 ballots were cast, 23 of which were absentee. Goodman was a little surprised at the results. “I knew there would be a runoff,” Goodman said Tuesday night. “I am a little surprised to have made it through.” Goodman will take it, though, and has a plan for the runoff. “I see a lot of people came out to vote,” Goodman said. “I have got to get out and work real hard the next few weeks. I just want to bring Dadeville up so we have places to eat, places to work and places to relax so our young people have something to do. “It will be a struggle. It will take some time but with God, we can do it.” Smith was thankful for the support he was See ELECTION • Page 3

Tallapoosa County’s preliminary, seasonally adjusted unemployment rate fell from 6 percent in June to 5.7 percent in July, according to the latest data released Friday by the Alabama Department of Labor and the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The county’s unemployment rate was identical to Alabama’s statewide rate for both months and is almost a full percentage point down from last July’s county rate of 6.6 percent. “The unemployment numbers for the state continue to show growth in See UNEMPLOYMENT • Page 5

Milton McGregor announced last week that he would be reopening his gambling facility Sept. 13.

VictoryLand is looking to hire more than 200 employees in preparation for its reopening on Sept. 13. The reopening was announced on Sunday in a release from VictoryLand’s owner, Milton McGregor. According to the release, McGregor said he expects to hire those 200 individuals from “Tuskegee and the surrounding seven-county area” prior to what the release termed a “soft launch” on Sept. 13 and that several hundred more would be hired in the coming months. According to Cameron Dizarr at VictoryLand, applicants should go to the VictoryLand home page at victoryland.

shown. “I feel pretty good and thankful that the voters of Dadeville have enough confidence to put me in the runoff,� Smith said. “I appreciate the confidence and support the voters showed me. I also want to thank all three of the other candidates for running a good, clean campaign.� Goodman and Smith were also challenged by incumbent council member Mickey Tarpley and former mayor Mike Ingram. Dadeville voters overwhelming passed Sunday alcohol sales by a two to one margin. Goodman is giving up his spot on the city council in District 3 to run for mayor but political new comers Teneeshia Goodman-Johnson and Kevin Hall will face each other in the runoff for that spot. The remaining Dadeville council incumbents, Stephanie Kelley and Billy Monroe, were not so lucky in seeking reelection. Kelley was defeated by Betty J. Adams in District 1 who won with 82 votes to Kelley’s 21 votes. District 2 will see a runoff between Brownie Caldwell and Harold Gamble. District 4 will see a runoff between Troy Davis and Roy Mathis. District 5 will be represented by former Tallapoosa County Board of Education member H.A. “Dick�

Jackson

Harrelson. Jackson’s Gap might not have a runoff as incumbent mayor Jeff Walker collected more votes than anybody else. “They told me I got it by 1-2 votes. It was really close. They said that I got right over 50 percent,� Walker said. “I’m excited, real excited about moving Jacksons Gap forward. More than anything, I’m relieved. It has been a really tough campaign these last couple of weeks.� Incumbent council member Janice Glaze was defeated by Carl Pritchard 96 to 76. Camp Hill saw four candidates running for mayor and two will be in the Oct. 4 runoff. Jeff Bandy will face Ezell Woodyard Smith. “We will just have to hit it real hard for the next few weeks,� Smith said Tuesday night. “I hope that we can pull this off.� In the council race in Camp Hill, Linda Caldwell defeated William Rucker, Jr. for Place 1 261 to 147, Duane Blackwell defeated incumbent Anthony Pogue 222 to 190 and Clifford Wilkerson defeated Heidi Carroll for Place 5 295 to 110. Dean Bonner and incumbent Sylvia Spratling were unopposed. New Site will have a new mayor. Phil Blasingame defeated incumbent Curtis Mims Tuesday, grabbing 225 votes to 146 for Mims.

vote totals. Walker did have the most votes but, 184 votes were cast in the race giving Walker 50 percent of the total, not the required 50 percent plus 1 to win the election without a runoff. And that is where the provisional ballots come into play. According to the Alabama Secretary of State office handout, provisional ballots can be cast when a voter’s name is not on the voter list, the voter’s name was marked off the list because they applied for an absentee ballot, the voter did not provide photo identification as required by law or the voter’s right to vote is being challenged by an inspector. “Walker had three provisional cast and Mike Crouch had 1,� Thomas said. Thomas explained that the decision is not in the hands of the town as to which provisional ballots will count. “That decision is up to the Board of Registrars,� Thomas said. Wednesday morning the

Tallapoosa County Board of Registrars had not yet received the election information and ballots from the Jackson’s Gap polling place. “We have not received anything yet from Jackson’s Gap,� said Kristi Pinyan of the Tallapoosa County Board of Registrars. If the provisional ballot cast for Mike Crouch is certified, then Walker would need two of the other three to be certified to win without a runoff. If the provisional ballot cast for Mike Crouch is not certified, then Walker only needs one of the other three to be certified to win without a runoff. Pinyan briefly explained the process of certifying provisional ballots and how long it should take. “We take a look and then decide if there was an accident that caused the voter not to be on the voters list,� Pinyan said. “Depending on when we get them, it could take us a day or two to certify them.�

Blasingame, the CFO for Tallapoosa County Schools, was running his first race for public office. In Place 1, Mickey Carter also survived a challenge from Larry Wilson. Carter finished with 225 votes to 142 for Wilson. Sunday alcohol sales also passed in New Site by a narrow margin. The vote was 183 yes to 172 no votes. David Granger and Mitch Sneed contributed to this report.

WHAT IN THE WORLD IS AN ARTHROPOD?

An arthropod is an animal that has a hard, outer shell called an exoskeleton. Underneath this shell is a soft body. The exoskeleton gives it support, much like a skeleton does for mammals. Arthropods are the largest group of animals in all of the animal kingdom; they make up approximately 84 percent of all known animals. With over a million different types, there are more species of arthropods on the planet than all the other animal species combined! They are found in all habitats. Because there are so many arthropods, it is hard to classify WKHP 7KH PDLQ FODVVL¿FDWLRQV DUH 3URWR]RD ÀDWZRUPV DQQHOLG ZRUPV HFKLQRGHUPV FRHOenterates, mollusks, arachnids, insects, myriapods, and crustaceans. Arthropods are invertebrate animals--they do not have a backbone. Their hard exoskeleton is made of a material called chitin. As they they y grow, g y shed their exoskeleton and create e a new one because it is a hard material that does oes not grow. They are usu-ally small animals and are cold-blooded. Most of them lay eggs. Arthropods eat a variety off different things.

ing of VictoryLand. We are excited for our citizens who have stood behind us through thick and thin and so many others who have worked night and day to get the facility ready.” In recent weeks, Brunson and Jones have been involved in determining that the electronic bingo machines that will be in operation meet all regulations and all other guidelines. Brunson said he and Jones have had the machines reviewed by independent experts and that the machines are in compliance and will offer customers games that will compete well against Poarch Indian facilities in the area. According to McGregor and Ford the facility will offer more than 500 electronic bingo machines. Also open at the soft launch will be food and beverage areas of the facility with new expansions expected in the future. “We will grow as our customer base allows it,” McGregor said. “Our goal is to get open, build our business back to where it was before it was illegally closed, and then begin to reopen all areas previously open like our hotel and four-star restaurant.” The reopening will mark VictoryLand’s re-emergence from a troubled past. In January 2010, McGregor stopped a raid on VictoryLand after obtaining a restraining order. Later that year, in August, VictoryLand voluntarily surrendered its liquor license and closed its doors to prevent a raid by the administration of former Gov. Bob Riley, who effectively managed to close every major non-

Indian casino in the state through his Task Force on Illegal Gambling. In 2011, Gambling machine manufacturers removed their machines from VictoryLand in 2011. But the casino reopened in December 2012 with electronic bingo machines that VictoryLand said were legal. State law enforcement agents disagreed. Law enforcement agents from the Alabama attorney general’s office and the Alabama Department of Public Safety (now ALEA) served a search warrant at VictoryLand in August 2013. According to the AG’s office the action was taken in response to illegal gambling operations. On June 25, 2015, Judge William Shashy dismissed the civil forfeiture case against VictoryLand brought after the Alabama Attorney General Luther Strange’s office executed the August 2013 search warrant, seizing $263,105.81 in cash and 1,615 gaming machines. Judge Shashy said, “The state could not and did not offer any substantive reason why it permitted this state of affairs to continue at other facilities, while taking its present stance against the same operations at Victoryland … The propriety of the State of Alabama electing to currently pursue action against only one facility is of great concern. It is apparent at the present time that the State of Alabama is cherrypicking which facilities should remain open or closed. This Court refuses to be used an instrument to perpetuate unfair treatment.”

2016 BATTLE OF HIGHWAY 49

Dadeville hosts Reeltown tonight By CATHY HIGGINS Sports Editor

The Battle of Highway 49 reignites tonight as Dadeville hosts Reeltown for the biggest rivalry game in Tallapoosa County. The Tigers won last year’s installment of the decades-old high school football feud by a score of 40-13 at Reeltown’s Nix-Webster-O’Neal Stadium. With that, Dadeville leads the rivalry series 30-15 all-time after the school’s name changed from Tallapoosa County High School. This time the teams face off at Tiger Stadium with a lot to prove since both Dadeville and Reeltown opened the season last week with losses. According to Dadeville head football coach Richard White, both teams always give the matchup their all. White “It is a rivalry game and it’s always a hard-fought game,” he said. However, Reeltown head coach Matt Johnson chooses to downplay the rivalry. “A lot of people Johnson put a lot of stock in that,” he said. “It is a big game for us because it’s our next game.” Alabama High School Historical Football Society predictions give Dadeville a 70 percent chance of beating Reeltown tonight by a score of 35-15. However, White isn’t taking anything for granted. “They’re going to fight and scrap and play hard,” he said, “and we’re going to fight and scrap and play hard.” The Tigers come into their first home game of the season on the heels of last week’s 44-29 loss to LaFayette. That defeat will influence Dadeville’s approach to tonight’s game against the Rebels. “We can’t turn the ball over five times and get 17 or 18 penalties and win a game,” White said. “We just can’t do that.” The coach’s feelings about last week’s penalties were mixed. “Some of them were silly and some of them we deserved, like holding on the offensive line,” White said. Another lesson Dadeville learned at LaFayette is their need to do a better job of containing the quarterback. “We played a good team and they had a good quarterback,” White said. “You can’t let one person beat you and that’s what we did.” Friday’s loss to the Bulldogs also showed White the need to improve the Tigers’ defense by tonight. “Our tackling was poor last week,” he said. After assessing needed improvements, the Tigers come into tonight’s game with a touch of humility and a fresh perspective. “They came back this week with a positive attitude,” White said. This is the Rebels’ first away game after losing 25-6 to Notasulga a week ago. It’s a loss Johnson used to evaluate adjustments. “As always, we just look to get better every day,” Johnson said. The Rebels haven’t deviated very much from their game plan when preparing for tonight’s game. “We’re going to do what we do,” Johnson said. “We’ve got to run the football, we’ve got to play our defense and we’ve got to play our special teams.” But some adjustments could be made closer to kick off. “We’ve got some bumps and bruises and we’ll have to evaluate come game time,” Johnson said. Kick off of tonight’s Battle of Highway 49 is at 7 p.m.

Dadeville’s Phillip Russell causes Lafayette quarterback Jatarvious Whitlow to fumble Friday night. Whitlow proved to be a weapon against the Tigers turning busted plays into huge gains. The Tigers lost to the Bulldogs 44-29 in game that ended with a lightning strike with under two minutes to go.

Lightning, busted plays stop Dadeville in loss to Lafayette By CATHY HIGGINS Sports Editor

A season opening battle of black and gold ended with the Dadeville High Tigers losing to the LaFayette High Bulldogs by a score of 44-29 at Bulldog Stadium Friday night. LaFayette was the first to put points on the scoreboard when Bulldogs No. 7 Jatarvious Whitlow scored the touchdown with 9:06 left in the first quarter for a score of 6-0. An attempted extra kick was no good, leaving the score standing. Dadeville met the challenge when Tigers wide receiver Jalen Sullivan made a touchdown with 1:26 remaining in the first quarter. However, the Bulldogs’ My’Kale Trammell made another touchdown with less than 2 seconds left in the first. LaFayette followed that up with a 2-point conver-

sion, ending the first quarter with a score of 14-6. The Bulldogs continued to bark in the second quarter as LaFayette wide receiver Jamarquez Boston-Gaines caught a 57-yard pass for a touchdown with 9 minutes left in the quarter for a score of 20-6. Dadeville continued to fight as quarterback Margarius Buchanan made a touchdown with 4:07 left in the first half. Dadeville was still determined to make every second count. As the clock ran out on the first half, Tigers wide receiver Corbin Holston returned an interception and ran 80 yard, for a touchdown with just 3 seconds left in the second quarter. With this, the Tigers shortened the gap for a score of 20-14 at the half. Dadeville opened the second half with determination as Margarius Buchanan made his second touchdown

of the night at 3:48 left in the third quarter for a score of 20-20. Kadore Glenn’s kick for the extra point was good, pulling the Tigers ahead with a score of 21-20. Dadeville’s lead was shortlived as Bulldogs’ Whitlow rushed long for a touchdown bringing the score to 26-21 with 3:05 left in the third quarter. LaFayette widened its lead in the final quarter when the Bulldogs scored another touchdown, bringing the score to 32-21 with 9:24 left in the game. The Bulldogs maintained that momentum as Bulldogs wide receiver Shabasken Holloway rushed for a touchdown from the 11-yard line with 6:24 left in the game, raising LaFayette’s lead over the Tigers to 38-21. A sudden rain coming with 5:06 left in the game cleared the stadium of all but a few spectators. But it

didn’t dampen Dadeville’s effort as Buchanan rushed for his third touchdown of the night with 4:49 left in the fourth quarter, bringing the score to 38-27. Dadeville shortened the gap by making the extra 2 points, bringing the score to 38-29. However, LaFayette expanded the breach once again when the Bulldogs’ Whitlow made the winning touchdown with 4 minutes left in the game for a score of 44-29. This was the final score as a lightning strike knocked out the stadium lights and halted further play with 1:16 left in the game. Tonight’s defeat starts off Dadeville’s regular season with a record of 0-1 with nine games left to play. The Tigers next host their first home game against Reeltown tonight, a rivalry match that kicks off at 7 p.m.

Reeltown Rebels fall to rival Notasulga in season opener By CATHY HIGGINS Sports Editor

Reeltown’s season opener on its home turf against Notasulga ended in defeat last Thursday night. The Rebels fell to the Blue Devils at NixWebster-O’Neal Stadium by a score of 25-6. In this reignited rivalry game, Notasulga threw down the gauntlet right from the start when Blue Devils’ No. 13 running back Gary “C.J.” Cook scored a touchdown at 10:01 left in the first quarter adding six points to the board. By making the extra point attempt good, the Blue Devils brought the score to 7-0. Notasulga continued to widen its lead over a scoreless Reeltown in the first quarter when No. 30 running back Michael Flourney scored a touchdown with 4:05 left in the quarter, bringing the Blue Devils’ lead to 13-0. Reeltown finally made a little headway in the second quarter when J.J. Matthews’ pass to Cade Giddens resulted in a touchdown for the Rebels at 11:51 left in the quarter. The Rebels’ unsuccessful try for the extra point left the score at 13-6 for the remainder of the first half. The 13-6 score stood throughout the third quarter as neither team made any headway. But just seconds into the fourth quarter, Notasulga grabbed at the chance to extend its lead. It was the Blue Devils’ third down and four yards to go that Cliff Williams / The Record a pass by Notasulga’s Tradarius Ezell to Cornelius Hunt was completed for a Reeltown’s Eric Shaw is unable to trip up Notasulga’s CJ Cook last week in the Rebels’ season opener. touchdown at 11:19 left in the fourth.
