Archer suspended for six months Inappropriate messages incident cited in Judicial Inquiry Commission complaint

By MITCH SNEED Editor

Tallapoosa County Probate Court Judge Leon Archer will serve a six-month suspension without pay as a result of a Jan. 30 Alexander City Outlook story that revealed that the judge had exchanged sexually explicit message with a woman who was half his age that had previously had a case before him. Archer reached an agreement with the Alabama

Judicial Inquiry Commission Wednesday following an investigation launched after The Outlook’s story reached members of the commission. According to Archer’s attorney Randy Haynes of Alexander City, the suspension is effective immediately and is expected to be approved by the Alabama Court of Judiciary Monday, the same day that it begins proceedings against Chief Justice Roy Moore. “Judge Archer made some bad mistakes with a

person who admitted to having her own reasons to discredit him,” Haynes said. “He has admitted his poor judgment from the outset. Two things people should know – the JIC has agreed that Judge Archer cooperated fully and honestly with the Commission. Secondly, his communication with the woman was not carried out during the performance of his official duties nor while she had any matter before the Probate Court. He admitted he was wrong, and he definitely See ARCHER • Page 5

ALDOT: Traffic light changes likely to stay By CLIFF WILLIAMS Staff Writer

Changes to the traffics lights and traffic patterns in Dadeville are likely here to stay. Alabama Department of Transportation officials say the changes should be more efficient for drivers. “Traffic flow should move more freely with this move,” ALDOT’s Mike Corley said. “The lights were not functioning properly.” The change happened last week after the light at the intersection of Highway 49 and Lafayette Street could not be repaired. Temporarily, the intersection was changed to a four-way stop while the City of Dadeville decided if it could fund the $60,000 to change out the lights. “The old lights were without detection,” ALDOT’s Holly McCain said. “Meaning they could not sense when a car approached the intersection. The lights were on a timer and that is not efficient.” The city council decided it could not afford to change the lights and to go with ALDOT’s proposal – make Highway 49 a pass through roadway with side streets having See TRAFFIC • Page 5

WELCOME BACK Windle ‘very pleased’ with county’s first school day

An initiative by the Tallapoosa County Narcotics Task Force that spanned six months has put 13 people behind bars, took enough marijuana off the streets to make an entire town’s eyes red and resulted in the confiscation of so many weapons that everyone in Tallapoosa County should breath a little easier.

Let’s all work to make this a safe school year

chools are back in session in Tallapoosa County and school officials say the new school year is off to a good start. It goes without saying, but when school is in session that means traffic in and around school zones, plus children getting on and off buses in our neighborhoods. With that in mind, we ask you all to remember to slow down and watch out for children who may not be watching out for you. State law says you must stop for a school bus that is stopped with its red lights flashing whether it is on your side of the road or not. These buses usually have a stop-sign arm on them, but you might not see it. Likewise, you might not see the children that step off these buses and run to nearby houses or people waiting for them. AAA urges drivers to be aware of children and extra cautious when backing out of driveways and parking spots in school zones and neighborhoods, especially in the morning and afternoon. Slow down. Obey the reduced speed limit in school zones. A pedestrian is nearly two-thirds less likely to be killed when struck by a vehicle traveling at 20 mph compared to a pedestrian struck by a vehicle traveling 30 mph. Eliminate distractions. Sometimes kids dart into the road unexpectedly. Taking your eyes off the road for just two seconds doubles the chance of crashing. Store cellphones out of reach — no texting, calling or emailing while driving. Come to a complete stop. More than one-third of drivers roll through stop signs in school zones or neighborhoods. Always come to a complete stop and check for children on sidewalks and in crosswalks. Plan for extra time. With school in session, there are more children walking and riding bicycles on streets and sidewalks. Drive slowly and choose alternate routes to avoid school zones if possible. Let’s make this a safe school year.

When bad golf is good

ast week, I played in the Steve Bartkowski – Will Herring Youth for Christ Golf Tournament at the Auburn University Club. To put it mildly, my golf game is lacking. I am to golf what Hillary Clinton is to honesty, to what Donald Trump is to humility, and what Nick Saban is to height. I’m not very good, but I do enjoy playing. So many lessons can be learned on the links. When the young lady at registration asked what my handicap was, I replied with, “Well, I stutter.” Stuttering during a round of golf poses its own set of unique challenges. For example, I sometimes have trouble getting out F-words. Hey, it’s not what you’re thinking. When I accidentally hit a ball in the direction of other people, I have trouble yelling the word “fore.” By the time I get it out, the damage has been done. When I was a kid, Steve Bartkowski was my favorite quarterback. I loved Joe Montana and Dan Marino, but since he played for the Atlanta Falcons, he was my favorite. The Falcons weren’t very good, but they were our closest team, and they had running back William Andrews from Auburn. So, just imagine how thrilled I was to be placed

JODY FULLER Guest Columnist

on the team with him. Rounding out our foursome in the scramble was Will Herring and Dixon Tharin. Will is an Opelika boy who had a great career at Auburn, followed by a solid seven or so years in the NFL. Tharin is a new friend, and we hit it off very well. He saved us a few times, granted he got to hit from the “old man” tee box. I’m just ribbing him. He played more consistent than any of us. We had a great time but didn’t play very well. I played worse than I usually play, which is saying a lot. Steve didn’t play very well, per his standards. The man has hit 13 holes in one for crying out loud. It sometimes take me 13 shots on one hole. When people are around me for any length of time, they start to stutter. Perhaps my golf game rubbed off on him a bit, too. There are times during the course of a round of 18 when I hit an amazing shot, which is all it takes for me to want to come back and play again. We had played 13 or 14 holes and I still had yet to hit

that shot. I was feeling down, because I wasn’t helping my team. At one point, the ball was over on the fringe. It wasn’t buried very deep, but it was not the kind of shot I ever excelled at. The other guys had gone before me without a lot of success, so it was up to me. I looked up at Will and very honestly said, “Man, I don’t know why I’m even attempting this shot." I did anyway. I swung away, and it was my shot—my shot of the day. It was high and long and sailed through the air beautifully, landing just a few feet from the cup. We may have used my ball one other time, but that was the shot, and it almost never happened, because I doubted myself. If we don’t believe in ourselves, then how can we expect others to? Lesson learned. It was a great day in every way, but most of all, because it gave back to East Alabama Youth for Christ, which gives back so much to our community and its future.

A rundown of the state's soap opera political scene

ow that the national conventions are over and we have had a glimpse of what to expect in the upcoming fall presidential contest, let us turn our attention back to our good ole state politics. Even though we do not have any good state races this year, it does not mean that we have not had our share of political happenings. We have been so active that we have garnered national publicity. Let us reminisce and get you caught up on our soap opera, As the World Turns in Alabama Politics. As the year began we knew that the Mike Hubbard corruption trial would finally unfold. It ended in a convincing conviction and the removal of the once powerful speaker from office and legislative leadership. We all knew of good old Robert Bentley’s illicit relationship with his political advisor Rebekah Caldwell Mason but it seemed that it had maybe settled down. However, his fired former friend, Spencer Collier, came after Bentley and his girlfriend with a vengeance. There is an old saying that hell hath no fury like a woman scorned. Well you can add another adage that could be applied to best male friends scorned. Bentley and Collier were best buddies while in the legislature. Most of Bentley’s cabinet has come from guys that served with him in the House of Representatives. Spencer Collier was a State Trooper by profession. He cherished the post of heading ALEA. Therefore, when Bentley fired him he turned on his doctor/governor buddy. He has filed suit and spilled the beans on all of the sordid details of Bentley’s

STEVE FLOWERS Guest Columnist

affair. It does not appear to me that Collier has much of a case. Cabinet members serve at the pleasure of the governor and the governor can remove them for any reason. It is not a bureaucratic merit system position. Regardless, the damage has been done to Bentley and Mason. Our homespun, pious governor has been relegated to a national punchline. He continues to be fodder for late night talk shows and cartoonists. He has rendered himself totally irrelevant. Therefore, his legacy will more than likely be the salacious tapes that Collier released. We probably have not heard the last of this story. All of the media hype has spurred the interest of federal investigators. The third saga of the year has been the removal of Chief Justice Roy Moore from his high tribunal office by the State Judicial Inquiry Commission. This commission has set a hearing for next week, Aug. 8, to decide the fate of our renowned religious judge. This vague Judicial Inquiry Commission brought six charges of misconduct against Moore, which triggered his automatic suspension on May 6. The charges stemmed from Moore’s Jan. 6 order telling probate judges they had a ministerial duty not to issue same sex marriage licenses. This came after the U.S. Supreme Court had ruled such bans were unconstitutional. The Commission said

that Moore’s directive placed all 68 probate judges in an untenable position and forced them to violate the state’s cannon of ethics. Moore contends that his marriage order was simply advice and they did not have to follow his advice. Most of them did ignore him. They had sense enough to know that the U.S. Supreme Court’s opinion trumps a state court judge’s opinion. Moore also argues that the Commission has no power over administrative orders. I tend to concur with Moore. It appears to me that this group has overstepped their bounds. My perception of this group’s mission is to police true misconduct by judges like egregious acts of illegality and immorality. Moore has not done anything illegal or immoral, he just simply has a different opinion than the U.S. Supreme Court on the issue of gay marriage. His opinion is also the same as the vast majority of Alabamians. This group ousted Moore over complaints brought by the Southern Poverty Law Center and ACLU. Folks, in the Heart of Dixie, you could not find two better boogeymen to run against. Moore has got the ACLU, SPLC and the liberal same sex marriage-mandating U.S. Supreme Court to run against for governor. George Wallace would have loved that scenario.

Drugs

continued from page 1

Alexander City SRG Team, Tallassee Police Department, Alexander City Housing Authority, Notasulga Police Department and Tallapoosa County Sheriff’s Department executed two search warrants in the Camp Hill area Tuesday. In those two raids, the Task Force seized approximately 10 grams of crack, 16 grams of marijuana, a 9mm pistol and a 2002 Chevy Impala and took five suspects into custody. Tuesday’s arrests were the result of other arrests including a July 18 arrest that took in more than 20 pounds of marijuana. “The arrests we are announcing today come due to a lot of work including controlled buys, surveillance and information obtained in a series of other arrests,” said Sgt. Fred White of the Tallapoosa County Narcotics Task Force. “The largest seizure came on July 18 when we were able to act on some information and confiscate 22 pounds of marijuana from two subjects in a traffic stop on Highway 280 near Camp Hill.” Those two suspects were 39-year-old Byron Keith Greathouse of Opelika and Decondra Crawley, 35, of Tallassee. White said officers saw bricks of marijuana laying on the back seat of the vehicle in plain sight. Greathouse and Crawley were charged with trafficking in marijuana, tampering with evidence, attempt to elude and obstruction of governmental operations.

More than $12,000 in cash and multiple weapons were seized, including several assault rifles. Subsequent July arrests included: • Kilpatrick McKinney, 33, of Alexander City on charges of possession of controlled substance, possession of marijuana first degree, certain persons forbidden to possess a firearm and possession of drug paraphernalia. • Nicholas Leonard, 29, of Camp Hill on charges of trafficking in hydrocodone. • Jeffery Smith, 36, of Alexander City on charges of possession of marijuana first degree, certain persons forbidden to possess a firearm and possession of drug paraphernalia. • Calvin King, 31, of Jacksons Gap, on charges of possession of controlled substance, possession of marijuana first degree and possession of drug paraphernalia. • Vanessa Crayton, 40, of Jacksons Gap on charges of possession of controlled substance, possession of marijuana first degree and possession of drug paraphernalia. • Franklin Scott Glass, 34, of Tallassee on charges of distribution of a controlled substance, terroristic threat, possession of controlled substance, possession of marijuana second degree and possession of drug paraphernalia. Arrested Tuesday were:

Archer made mistakes, but it had nothing to do with carrying out any official duties.” Archer said Wednesday that rather than fighting the allegations, he admitted his mistake and was ready to take his punishment and move forward. “I take full responsibility for my actions and I have never waivered on that,” Archer said. “I know it sounds harsh, but I am ready to get this behind me. This has been rough on my family, my wife and it was no piece of cake for me either. “I have been upfront and honest throughout the process and cooperated with them fully. All I can do now is ask for forgiveness. I was there and thought I was talking with a friend and she threw the bait out there and I took it.” The online conversations between Archer and the 37-yearold woman began in early January and escalated from friendly banter to sexually suggestive requests in a matter of days, according to time stamps on the messages. The messages from Archer’s Facebook

continued from page 1

account, which features his official probate court judge portrait. One message even includes the offer of money if the woman were to meet with him. The language in some of the message is so explicit that they can’t be printed in a newspaper and many of those suggestive passages were redacted in the complaint. In messages from Archer’s account, the judge’s personal cell phone number was sent to the woman and in some conversations he asked her to call him at his office. Those requests came during business hours at the Tallapoosa County Probate Office. A picture of Archer, dressed in a T-shirt, is also included in one messenger exchange. A photo of a man nude below the waist was also sent to the woman from Archer’s cell phone number. The background in the picture closely resembles the bathroom tile in the Tallapoosa County Courthouse. The above facts were reported by The Outlook and were cited in the JIC complaint that was released late Wednesday.

The JIC complaint alleges that “Judge Archer ’s conduct described in this complaint demonstrates: a failure to uphold the high standards of conduct required of judges so that the integrity and independence of the judiciary may be preserved, a failure to avoid impropriety and the appearance of impropriety in all his activities, a failure to at all times maintain the decorum and temperance benefitting his office, and a failure to avoid conduct prejudicial to the administration of justice that brings the judicial office into disrepute.” The complaint further alleges that Archer violated the provisions of the Alabama Canons of Judicial Ethics including: • Canon 1 - A judge should observe high standards of conduct so that the integrity and independence of the judiciary may be preserved. • Canon 2 - A judge should avoid impropriety and the appearance of impropriety in all his activities. • Canon 2A – A judge should conduct himself

I was really concerned about the feeding at Dadeville High School with us adding another 200 or so students, but it went just as planned.” In April, the Tallapoosa County Board of Education voted to close Dadeville’s Councill Middle School, moving sixth grade classes to Dadeville Elementary School and seventh- and eighth-grade classes to

at all times in a manner that promotes public confidence in the integrity and impartiality of the judiciary. • Canon 2B - A judge should at all times maintain the decorum and temperance befitting his office and should avoid conduct prejudicial to the administration of justice which brings the judicial office into disrepute. Archer was first elected on Nov. 6, 2012 to serve a six-year term as probate court judge. Archer previously served as a county commissioner in Shelby and Tallapoosa counties. Archer said he has confidence in his staff and that regular business will be handled professionally in his absence. The office has vital roles in elections, tag and license renewal and other legal filings dealing with competency and marriages. Judge Tom Young will superintend the legal matters until a replacement is named by presiding Judge Steve Perryman when and if it becomes official.

Dadeville High School. “I want to thank our principals at Dadeville, our assistant principals, our counselors and our technology people in particular for the work they did in our facilities in Dadeville with the move from Councill,” Windle said. “The maintenance crews, too. They did a tremendous job with the move and getting the facilities ready. They were all completely ready today.” Dadeville Elementary also has a new principal with Chris Dark replacing Chad McKelvey, who is now principal at the Edward

Traffic stop signs. The change has created confusion for some drivers unsure what to do after decades of using the traffic light. ALDOT’s decision is based on already established criteria and a traffic study. “We conducted a traffic study in March with school in session,” McCain said. “Traffic did not meet the standards to install a four way stop.” Corley defended the move. “It is signed properly,” Corley said of the installed signs. “Highway 49 should be the free flowing roadway.” Officials said they would re-evaluate the change as Lafayette Street is paved and the courthouse square renovation project goes through engineering but changes are doubtful. “It depends on if traffic changes,” Corley said. “Chances are, it will stay the way it is.”

Bell Technical Center in Camp Hill. Fred Ford is the new director of career tech programs at Edward Bell, where Windle said 182 students were enrolled as of yesterday after ending last year with 141. Windle also said there were more kindergartners registered at Dadeville Elementary than in the last four years – 101 as of Tuesday. “That’s about what kindergarten enrollment used to be before the 2010, 2011 and 2012 classes that dropped to the 85-95 range,” Windle said. Windle also said an

additional kindergarten teacher was needed in Reeltown, which had classes of 25, 24 and 22 students today. “Those numbers need to be below 20,” Windle said. Windle had little information about the new Tallapoosa County Virtual Academy since students who have applied still must be approved for enrollment by a three-person committee. Numbers on the virtual academy are expected Friday, he said.

• Eric “Ironhead” Black, 39, of Camp Hill on 20 counts of unlawful distribution of a controlled substance, certain persons forbidden to possess firearm, two counts of possession of controlled substance, possession of marijuana first degree and possession of drug paraphernalia. • Kenyetta Beavers, 39, of Camp Hill on 10 counts of unlawful distribution of a controlled substance and six counts of conspiracy to commit controlled substance crime, two counts of possession of controlled substance, possession of marijuana first degree, certain persons forbidden to possess firearm, and possession of drug paraphernalia. • Tyneshia Beavers, 19, of Camp Hill on two counts of possession of controlled substance, possession of marijuana first degree and possession of drug paraphernalia. • Eva Mae Ford, 64, of Camp Hill on four counts of unlawful distribution of a controlled substance, possession of controlled substance, possession of marijuana first degree and possession of drug paraphernalia. • Justavious Williams, 24, of Dadeville on two counts of possession of controlled substance, possession of marijuana first degree, and possession of drug paraphernalia.

“They are not able to keep up with inputting stuff in the new system,” Heard said. “With the shortened work hours they just cannot get it done.” The council unanimously approved the move but still put in the requirement of no overtime except in case of an emergency. The move was not done without some discussion. “I thought we cut them back to 32 hours because we did not have the money,” Council member Will York said. “My question is, do we have the money to put them back to 40 hours? We are not even looking to see if we have the money to do it.” Mayor Danny Evans gave some insight into what the town’s finances are and so did discussion about the town’s expenses and income. “We are about $93,000 in the red,” Evans said. Discussion between staff and council revealed that in the month of July the town was paying out nearly $63,000 and only took in $53,000. The council also discussed the importance of completing the input of information in the recently installed municipal QuickBooks so that audits can be completed. Town attorney Charles Gillenwaters had spoken with representatives from Auburn

University’s Center for Governmental Studies who had recommendations for the town. “They recommend we get the audits done as soon as possible,” Gillenwaters said. Gillenwaters also told the council that the group recommends establishing a budget and working with the IRS to reduce the amount owed by filling out a form for monies paid that have not been applied. The Camp Hill Town Council also: • approved payment of bills according to priority. • approved a gas certification class to occur this Saturday. • were reminded of a conference call with ADEM and the Attorney General’s office on the ligation involving the sewer system. • requested a business owner get her state liquor license before coming to them for a lounge license. • approved a proposal for Alabama Power to be able to use the airport property as a staging area in times of emergency. • approved a tent revival in the park. • approved minutes from the last meeting. The next meeting of the Camp Hill Town Council will be August 16 at 6 p.m

owned by the Renfroe family under one name. In addition to renaming, Renfroe’s Market will be rebranding each store with new interior decor and signage as well as new exterior signage featuring a new logo. “We have always strived to make our stores as customer service-oriented as possible.” said Robert Renfroe, founder of Renfroe’s Market. “We treat our customers with personal service in a family atmosphere and they have responded to those principles. Therefore, we feel that all of our stores should bear our family name with that idea in mind.” The Renfroe family took ownership of their first store on McGehee Road in Montgomery in 1997. In 2008, they expanded to a second location in Dadeville. In 2014, they opened their largest location at Chantilly Corners in Montgomery. “We are extremely proud of the locations we operate

and the ties they have to the communities in which they serve. We want people to know that although there will be a new name on the building, each store will continue to be owned and operated by the same family with the same core values that our customers have grown accustomed to over the past 19 years,” said Rob Renfroe, son of Robert Renfroe. After the name change, Renfroe’s Market is planning to roll out a number of new services for their customers making Renfroe’s a destination for shoppers looking for a cutting-edge shopping experience. “Growth has always been one of our goals, but never at the cost of quality and service. We are now in a position to offer not only quality and service but to grow our business in a digital space. The new name is just the beginning of more exciting changes in our future such as e-commerce and mobile shopping,” said Rob Renfroe.

y the time you read this, I shall be a resident of East Alabama Medical Center in Opelika, having had my right knee replaced on Tuesday, Aug. 2. Let’s hope the surgery was a big success – but keep me in your prayers anyway. I shall remain in the hospital, living in their rehab center for a while (maybe one or two weeks?). Therefore I shall miss writing a column for a week or two. Bear with me. Front Porch TV News: As stated last week, Kenny Dean, television host of “The Front Porch” is back!

BETTY HAYES Community Columnist

call Betsy at 256-8253985. RED RIDGE UMC: Join the folks Red Ridge Sunday at 8:30 a.m. Sunday School, 9:30 regular worship service. Pastor Paul Messer has returned from vacation and his sermon this Sunday is titled “ I’m Tired of BarB-Q, “Isaiah 1:1, 10-20. The leaders were carefully making the traditional sacrifices and offerings at holy celebrations, but they were still unfaithful to God in their hearts. Gifts and sacrifices mean nothing to God when they come from someone with a corrupt heart. God wants us to love him, trust him and turn from our sin; so he will be pleased with our “sacrifices” of time, money or services.” Choir anthem will be “This One Table.” The choir is starting a new year. If you play an instrument or can contribute to the audio or visual aspects or worship, consider joining. Audio people are particularly needed. Volunteers will meet with the girls at the Girl’s Ranch to assess any tutoring needed Tuesday, August 9th, as this is the beginning of the new school year. Men’s Bible study meets Wednesday at 7:30 a.m. Women’s bible study is not meeting at this time. Red Ridge is located at 8091 County Road 34, Dadeville, 256-825-9820, redridgeumc.org First Presbyterian News: This past Sunday

was the 11th Sunday after Pentecost, and it was a most enjoyable service. Rev. Ben Arellano’s scriptures were from Hosea 11, Psalm 107 and Luke 12. His sermon’s title was “How to Get Rich!” He was quite proud of his sermon’s title, from a song by Teddy in 1954. Remember the musical “Fiddler on the Roof”? In the words of this song, Rev. Arellano found his sermon’s message. In the 1987 film, “Wall Street”, the main character proclaimed “greed is good!” You’re not naïve enough to believe we’re living in a democracy are you? If you watch TV commercials, you see an opportunity for buying many different products, and if you don’t have them, you need them! Rev. Arellano also said he really enjoyed working at “Loaves & Fishes” recently. It was a holy and humbling experience for him to be able to bless the folks as they leave with their gifts from our community. “Love your neighbor as yourself!” Come visit us! Rev. Ben Arellano will make you feel welcome. First United Methodist Church News: On Aug. 27, we are having a “Heading for High Places” Retreat, for our entire membership, families or individuals, from preschoolers to seniors. Online registration is available at http://www. dadevillefumc.org/prayer retreat, or turn your money into the church office to Barbara Cunningham. Cost is only $10 per person, which includes lunch and dinner. Please come visit us at DFUMC. Rev. William

Brown will make you feel welcome. THOUGHT FOR TODAY: Doing nothing is the most tiresome job in the world, because you can’t stop and rest!

DHS confirms staff addition Richardson takes over Tigers defensive coordinator spot By CATHY HIGGINS Sports Editor

Dadeville High School head football coach Richard White confirmed Wednesday the addition of George Richardson to his coaching staff as defensive coordinator. Richardson comes to the Tigers from Noxubee County, Mississippi, where he served in the same position for the winner of three of the last four Mississippi High School Activities Association Class 4A state football titles. White pointed out that Richardson will help galvanize

the Tigers’ mission on the football field. “Here at Dadeville, we are accustomed to winning,” the head coach said. White also believes Richardson brings a fresh approach to the Tigers’ defense. “He brings a different look to things,” he said. One of Richardson’s approaches is to make sure the defensive linemen pay extremely close attention to every little detail on the field. “It’s the little things that will

get you beat,” White said. The head coach added his appreciation for Richardson’s meticulous methodology. “He’s very organized and I like that,” White said. School officials began efforts earlier this year to officially bring Richardson on staff at DHS. Meanwhile, the defensive coordinator got started with the Tigers. “He helped us out in the spring,” White said. Richardson was confirmed

as a new DHS employee to be working in special education during last week’s Tallapoosa County Board of Education meeting. “He was just hired,” White said. White pointed out that this is actually a return trip to Dadeville for Richardson. “He’s been here before,” the head coach said. “He was assistant coach.” Richardson then went to coach in California before heading to Mississippi. Now he plans to settle in Dadeville. “He married a Dadeville girl,” White said.

QB MARGARIUS BUCHANAN MAKES IT COUNT Tigers quarterback makes the most of time on the gridiron By CATHY HIGGINS Sports Editor

Dadeville High School senior Margarius Buchanan is set to be an integral ingredient in the Tigers’ recipe for success on the gridiron this fall. After all, his exploits over the last two seasons earned him the Player of the Game Award 13 times, with all except two presented in 2015. “He’s a versatile athlete,” said DHS head football coach Richard White. Thanks to that versatility, Buchanan, who wears the No. 1 jersey, knows just how to rack up points for the Tigers. In his varsity career he has scored a total of 213 points over 30 games, 177 of which were last year. The key to Buchanan’s success doesn’t lie in knocking heads. Instead, it’s in his ability to gain ground on the field. “He’s more of a runner,” White said. Thanks to Buchanan’s ability to move the ball, in 2015 he had 23 rushing touchdowns. Receiving three, he also had 7 conversions. Buchanan also had an average of 118.3 rushing yards per game in 2015. Three of Buchanan’s touchdowns in 2015 resulted from his nine receptions of the season. But the quarterback has proven moving the ball can also mean making passes count. He completed 78 passes in 2015 with 1,399 passing yards for the entire season and an average of 107.6 yards per game. He also ended the season with nine passing touchdowns under his belt. On defense Buchanan also intercepted the ball four times last fall. But the athlete’s fancy footwork doesn’t end there. Last year alone Buchanan attempted 13 field goal kicks and converted 7 for the Tigers. By the time the season was done, he had kicked off 12 times in 13 games, sending the ball a total of 449 yards and averaging 37.4 yards per kickoff and reaching a long of 45. Buchanan did stumble a little last year, emphasis on little, as he had five offensive fumbles and lost two of those. Nonetheless Buchanan dominated as quarterback. But he was also the

opposing team QB’s nightmare while on defense. Throughout his 30-game varsity career, the cornerback has made a dozen solo defensive tackles and 29 assists for a career average of 1.4 tackles per game. As the 2016 football season is just weeks away, White intends for Buchanan to once again get hold of the ball and move it down the field. “He’s going to tuck it and run,” White said. “That’s any quarterback’s dream,” Buchanan said.

While the senior does plan to make his time on the field count, he stresses that the unity of the team is what will make the Tigers a success this fall. “We’re all going to go out there and work hard,” Buchanan said. “We’re brothers too. We’re all really the same and want to win ball games. The ultimate goal is to win.” The chance to do that this fall is what Buchanan most looks forward to. “I’m excited about this upcoming season,” he said.

Dadeville High Tigers football practice gets underway By CATHY HIGGINS Sports Editor

While students in Dadeville headed back to class Wednesday, football practice officially began at the first of the week. Beginning Monday, the Tigers practice at 5 p.m. each day. The Tigers’ rivals are also gearing up for the season. The Reeltown High Rebels started football practice this week, with sessions held 4-5:30 p.m. every Monday through Wednesday. “Once we get into the thick of things with school, we’ll practice every day from 4-6 p.m.,” Rebels head football coach Matt Johnson said. But the rest of Tallapoosa County schools aren’t resting on their laurels. At Horseshoe Bend, this week will have a varied schedule. The Generals’ first practice of the week is bright and early, set for 6:30-8:30 a.m. Then Tuesday’s practice starts at 3:30 p.m.

“We start school after that,” Horseshoe Bend head football coach Jason Franklin said. Once school starts, the Generals practice after school for about two hours. At Central Coosa High, practice will start at 4 p.m. every day beginning Monday. The only school not starting football practice Monday is Lyman Ward. Under the leadership of new head coach Keith Elliott, the team will practice each day 4-5:30 p.m. beginning Aug. 22. Although Alexander City students don’t head back to class until Aug. 8, the Benjamin Russell High Wildcats start hitting the field for practice Monday afternoon. “We’re going 4 o’clock every evening this week except Thursday when we start at 3:15 p.m.,” Wildcats head football coach Danny Horn said. “Once we’re in school, we’ll start practice after school at 3:30.”

The team’s practices will be gradual, starting off in shorts and helmets and working their way up to full gear. “Friday they’ll be in full pads,” Horn said. Although practice just started, area football programs have spent the summer conditioning for the upcoming season. However, with daytime temperatures sometimes soaring into the triple digits, coaches have had to keep hydration a high priority. “You’ve got to educate your kids,” Horn said. “They can’t wait until they get to conditioning to hydrate.” Franklin agrees. “You’ve got to start that 24 hours beforehand,” he said. “You’re going to lose a lot of fluids during practice so you’ve got to be hydrated before you get on the field.” The coaches are trained to keep watch on the athletes’ health and to make sure they continue to drink fluids while on

the field. “We take plenty of water breaks,” Franklin said. At BRHS, that also includes putting the athletes on the scale. “We weigh our linemen,” Horn said. “You can lose 7-8 pounds in one practice.” At Reeltown that precaution includes having certified trainer Chad Abrams keep a close watch on the athletes’ condition. “He observes our kids every day,” Johnson said. The Rebels also limited conditioning to three days a week after 5 p.m. “We have a lot of kids that work,” Johnson said. “We also wanted to give our kids time just to be kids.” During summer conditioning Central Coosa used the clock to overcome the heat. “We came in early in the morning,” Central Coosa head football coach Barry Simmons said. “The heat wasn’t bothering us as much early in the day.”
