Board puts Crayton on paid leave Action taken after arrest on sex charges By David Granger Record Staff Writer
At a specially called meeting, the Tallapoosa County School Board voted unanimously Thursday morning to place a longtime Tallapoosa County Schools employee on administrative leave with pay after allegations that he had sex with a student.

It’s a heroes welcome as Dadeville’s Summer Reading Program wraps up By Cliff Williams Record Staff Writer
It’s a bird! It’s a plane! It’s Superman! That famous comic strip and movie line could be heard in Dadeville this week as the Dadeville Public Library closed out its summer reading program called “Every Hero has a Story” with a Super Hero Costume Party. “We have had a pretty good turn out this summer,” Dadeville Public Library Director Abbi Mangarelli said. “We have had five programs with good attendance.” Tuesday’s costume party had four spe-
cial guests who took time off from work to visit the children in attendance. Superman’s friend Branden Fuller was there as was Batman’s friend Ryan Wesson, Spiderman’s friend Justin Crenshaw and Thor’s friend Cody Parker. “They all took half-days off from work to do this,” Fuller’s mom Teri Fuller said. Spiderman even had a small version of himself at the program. Aidan Fuller, 4, who came dressed as Spiderman started to climb up on the table to get close to the heroes as they signed autographs.

Teenagers have been spending summers on Lake Martin for decades creating memories and overcoming fears. From boating, fishing and tubing to zip lining, hanging out and canoeing to the dance on the last night of camp. One such camp on the lake is no different – Camp ASCCA. Alabama’s Special Camp for Children and Adults has been around since 1976 serving children and adults with disabilities. Touring Camp ASCCA one quickly notices that the camp is no different than any other summer camp. The
thing that is different is the number of wheels. If you are walking, you might find yourself in the minority as everyone travels by at least four wheels. Children flying through the air, grinning and laughing along the way on the zip line having just conquered a fear of heights and leaving the comfort of a wheelchair behind with the help of counselors and camp staff. One such camp staffer is Alexander City native Katie Martin who is working her first summer this year at Camp Cliff Williams / The Record ASCCA. Callie Miller of Hartselle dances with a camper at the prom “I have been knowing that Camp where even a prom king and queen were crowned. The ASCCA was here for a long time,” camp has been serving children with disabilities since 1976. See CAMP, Page A8

Storms trap park ranger, leaves others without power and trees down By Mitch Sneed Record Editor
A Wind Creek State Park ranger is counting his blessings after Tuesday evening storms trapped him in his SUV beneath a downed utility pole and live power lines. The National Weather Service issued an alert, but not a warning at 6:23 p.m. and the lightning, high winds and torrential rains rolled into Alexander City at about 7:10 p.m. The ranger, whose name was not released Tuesday, was responding to a call of a possible tree obstructing the roadway, planning to block to road to help warn motorists when a pole went down across his patrol unit as it traveled on County Road 128 near Wind Creek. He remained calm in radio transmissions as he described his situation. “There are trees down and a pole and there are live wires on top of my unit,” the ranger told dispatchers. “It has the road blocked in both directions, so I don’t know the best way to tell you how to get here.” Fire units, utility crews and officers were dispatched, but ran into issues getting to the officer from Coven Abbett. They were forced to use Highway 63 to get to Highway 128 after encountering multiple trees obstructing the roadway. Tallapoosa County Commissioner Steve Robinson mobilized his highway crew. He said that in addition to county workers and utility crews from the city and Alabama Power, the Alexander City Recuse Squad and others all were working in the area to help. Every law enforcement agency was also called on to direct traffic and help clear roads when possible. “With the ranger, what happened was a very large pine tree fell across lines and as the weight stretched and stretched the lines – the pole finally gave way and it came down across his vehicle,” Robinson said. “The power company was able to de-energize the lines so people they could get him free.” In addition to the issues on Highway 128 and Coven Abbett, trees were reported down on Brick Plant Road, Elkahatchee Road and in two locations on Newman Road. In two of those cases, power lines were also damaged. Power outages were reported in pockets in several, including along the Highway 63 corridor. Dollar General as well as

homes all around Wind Creek and on Coven Abbett were dark for hours Tuesday evening. At Wind Creek State Park, a truck and a camper were damaged as a tree toppled on top of them. Others said Tuesday night that they saw some damage, but most had scrambled to get to bathhouses and vehicles before the worst of the storm hit. Scanner traffic indicated that there were multiple trees down on park property. No injuries were immediately reported from the park. A county excavator was brought in to help move trees in and around Wind Creek. While county officials and utility workers scrambled to get crews in place and the issues cleared, officers reported that countless residents helped clear trees. Several individuals showed up with chain saws and worked by the light of headlights to get trees out of the roadway. “It has been an unbelievable cooperative effort,” Robinson said.
“It’s bad, but you had an awful lot of people out here doing a lot of work to try to get things back to normal.” The National Weather Service did not indicate any tornado sightings, but instead said straightline wind gusts reached upwards of 40 mph. Power was fully restored by daylight.

It’s time to make a new DHR building happen
I
t’s no secret that many of the public buildings that serve our county are getting a little long in the tooth. The courthouse was built in 1960, long before any of today’s technological needs were on the drawing board. In city halls and other agency offices, business is often done in facilities that were not designed for the purpose they now serve. When it comes to the Tallapoosa County offices of the Department of Human Services at 353 N. Broadnax Street in Dadeville, that situation is especially apparent. The building houses twice the number of people it was designed for and the offices are tiny and cramped, making it nearly impossible for the work they do to be conducted with the privacy it deserves. None of that is breaking news. Monday, Alabama DHR Commissioner for Administrative Services Joel Marsh made a plea to the Tallapoosa County Board of Commissioners for a new DHR building. “The current building is just not meeting our needs anymore,” Marsh said. “It’s simply too small and without some extensive renovations, we don’t think it could be something that we could continue to use long-term.” Instead of just standing there with his hand out, Marsh offered a solution that makes sense. Marsh said that all the commissioners would have to do is supply a site and establish an authority to manage the property. He said the agency would actually pay for the building with its monthly lease payment. In 35 other counties, county commissioners have set up public building authorities, then secure bonds using the state’s credit rating. The county would actually own the building, but would lease the building back to DHR and the rent paid by the agency would repay the bonds. It’s a win-win. The agency gets a new facility, the county is not saddled with debt and the people of the county get a facility that better serves their needs. We urge the commissioners to move quickly to make this happen. It makes too much sense not to do this. One other suggestion: While working to find a site, why not secure enough property for future centralized expansion for social services agencies? It’s always better to think ahead than be left behind.
Editorial A weight loss miracle? No, calories and exercise
T
his morning I hit a landmark, the halfway point to my weight-loss goal, when the scale said I am 20 pounds lighter than when I started. Being a Type A, goaloriented kind of guy, it made my day. Granted it was after a 3-mile run, so a pound or two may have been sweated out instead of burned. I really don’t care. I got on the scale and it showed I was 20 pounds lighter. That’s worth a little celebration. But that’s not why I’m writing. I’m writing because I want to tell everybody who’s trying to lose weight that simply paying attention to what you eat and how much you exercise – counting calories if you will – works, that you can do it too and it doesn’t cost anything. I’d like to share a few insights and first person experiences that may help folks get over the hump. First, it really is like getting over a hump. A better analogy might be pushing a car. It’s difficult at first, but once you get rolling, it’s much easier. The scientific fact is that if you burn more calories than you take in, you will lose weight. I’m using the Lose It app for an iPhone, and I put in my current weight, my goal weight, and let the software know that I’d like to be on a caloric plan to lose two pounds a week. In my case, 1,942 calories a day will do the trick. Sound easy? Well, sort of. There were times when I’ve been really tired, when I was really hungry, when I was really sleepy
KENNETH BOONE Publisher
in mid day. Most of that happened the first couple of weeks I started losing weight. Now it is much easier, I don’t feel as hungry, or as tired or as sleepy. I’m getting used to it. The take-home here is that when you first start losing weigh it seems really hard and there is great temptation to throw in the towel. Don’t. It will get easier. Just hang in there. Second insight: If you’re really hungry at night, drink some water and get in bed and sleep through it. When you wake up, it’s another day. For some reason I’m never as hungry in the morning as I was the night before. Third insight: Sometimes it’s OK to go over budget. I’ve been to parties, a high school reunion weekend, family celebrations, holiday grillfests and many other events and I go over my daily calorie budget routinely, at least once a week. The rest of the week I say slightly under, and at week’s end I’m at or below my goal. No sweat. Fourth insight: I learned that I can eat whatever I want to early in the day as long as I tailor my evening meal to hit the budget. Cheeseburger and fries for lunch. Sure. But that might mean a salad with red vinegar for dressing after dark. Or it means I can spend 30 minutes running and have
a couple of beers and some homemade bread and butter with that salad. What you eat is important for health, but for weight loss only, it’s much more about how many calories you eat. That said, I think eating healthy food most of the time is really smart, especially when you’re not eating enough to maintain your weight. Fifth insight: I’ve found that if I eat a salad or a vegetable plate for one meal, I can hit my goal and never be hungry as long as I drink water or unsweet tea. Be careful with soft drinks and alcohol. Calorie-wise, a Coke or a gin and tonic equals about 10 minutes at a brisk run. You know how much you like to run and how much you like to drink, so do the exercise, or at least do the math, before you raise a glass. Did I mention I ran three miles this morning? The fact is losing weight by relying on feelings or guestimations or some weird fad diet just will not work. However, a medically sound, scientific plan where you pay attention to how many calories you eat and how many calories you “exercise away” will definitely work as long as you are dedicated to following the plan. I’ve heard that for years and always thought, “Yeah, yeah, that’s for other folks.” Well, it turns out that’s for me. I saw the proof this morning. And I couldn’t be happier about the good news from my bathroom scale. Boone is publisher of The Outlook.

A golden trip to old-school Las Vegas
T
wo weeks ago, I stayed at the Golden Cherry motel in Opelika. Two nights this week, I stayed at the Golden Nugget Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas. At the moment, life is golden. I’ve been to Vegas several times over the past few years and have always stayed on the strip. I only ventured over to Old Vegas a time or two for quick visits. The Golden Nugget is not located on the strip and is my kind of place. It’s more laid back and not as crowded. The crowds are a bit older, too. While waiting in line at the buffet, I felt as if I was standing in line at an open casting call for a remake of Cocoon. I suppose I was auditioning for Steve Guttenberg’s character. Most of the old men wore long white socks with their tennis shoes. I’ve been known to do that. I’ve always thought I was born about 50 years too late. The ladies were precious. In fact, they were golden. I’m fairly certain they were all named either Dorothy, Rose, Blanche, or Sophia. Thank you for being a friend. I met many interesting people on this trip. While wearing an Auburn shirt, I passed a Texas A&M Aggie

fan who said “War Eagle!” I promptly replied with “Gig ‘em!” Please, don’t tell anyone. What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas. Another gentleman told me he was a retired dealer. I was thinking he meant a drug dealer. I appreciated his honesty. It turns out that he was a retired card dealer who specialized in high stakes Baccarat at Caesar’s Palace. He shared many intriguing stories of his encounters with folks ranging from Frank Sinatra to Charles Barkley. War Eagle! I’m not a gambler. I usually spend $20 or so on slots just for fun, but this trip was all business. I performed with my pals The GIs of Comedy for a military group called the Non-Commissioned Officer Association, better known as NCOA. The NCOA was established in 1960 to enhance and maintain the quality of life for noncommissioned and petty officers in all branches of the Armed Forces, National Guard, and Reserves. The headliner for the
event was legendary comedian Louie Anderson. In my opinion, he is one of the greatest comedians of all time. He was one of Johnny Carson’s favorites and has been a headliner in Vegas for decades. To make things even better, Louie was one heck of a nice guy. Speaking of golden, we had the honor of being on stage with him as the NCOA presented a check for $30,000 to Snowball Express, a charity for children of fallen heroes who have paid the ultimate sacrifice since 9/11. I’ve done a lot of work with the GIs over the years. We performed at 12 military installations all over the U.S. back in 2012. In 2013, we performed for the George H. W. Bush Library in Texas. Last year, we went overseas to perform for troops in some fairly dangerous and hostile places. Speaking of dangerous and hostile, in August, I have a show with them in Tuscaloosa. Being an Auburn man, that terrifies me. Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers. Jody Fuller is a comic, speaker, writer and soldier with three tours of duty in Iraq.

Commissioners small and without some extensive renovations, we don’t think it could be something that we could continue to use long-term.” Marsh outlines a process that would allow for a new building to be constructed, without it costing the county anything. In other locations, county commissioners have set up public building authorities, then secure bonds using the state’s credit rating. The county would actually own the building, but would lease the building back to DHR and the rent paid by the agency would repay the bonds. “Yes, the county would own the building, but we would pay for it through the lease payments. That money would satisfy the bonds,” Marsh said. “We would be responsible for all maintenance. The only requirement would be that the county would supply the land. In most cases it is between three to four acres. Other than that, there would be no cost to the county. The other catch is that we need to move forward relatively quickly.” Marsh said the same method has been used in about 35 counties to replace aging facilities. He said that ideally the site would be centrally located. T a l l a p o o s a County Board of Commissioners Chairman T.C, Coley said a resolution would be drawn up and possible parcels would be identified. “We have another meeting in three weeks and we could take it up

then,” Coley said. “I know there is a need and it sounds like this is a method that makes sense. WE do what we have to do on our end and then hopefully take some action at our next meeting.” In another key move, the commissioners voted 4-0 to approve a job description for a community corrections director. The job would pay between $33,000 and $46,000 and the person would be responsible for initiating and handling the day-to-day operations of the new state-mandated community corrections program. The approval means that the job could be posted and the search begin by the week’s end. In other action, the commissioners: Voted 4-0 to name Alexander City Deputy Police Chief Jay Turner to the 9-1-1 board. Voted 4-0 to vacate a portion of Gilmore Road.

Martin said. “I first came out here while with the Camp Fire Girls. We would come out here for the weekend doing the same activities the campers today are doing. We would ride the horses and the zip lines.” Martin did not return to Camp ASCCA until a trip with the Auburn University Engineering Ambassadors. “We did a team building retreat here for the Engineering Ambassadors here,” Martin said. “I was talking with activities director Amber Cotney about how dealing with campers on a day-today basis has totally changed her life. I saw her eyes light up and knew I had to get involved.” Martin said she already has some lifelong memories despite her relatively short time at Camp ASCCA. “Been great work-

ing on the zip line,” Martin said. “I love watching campers conquer their fears. At first saying ‘no, no I can’t do this.’ Then seeing how happy they are as they go down that line.” James Kelley who
Kelley has his own special memory from camp. “Last year we got to help a young man who had been in a motorcycle accident that was paralyzed,” Kelley said. “We took him tubing for the first
time since the accident. Afterwards, his wife came to us and thanked us. ‘Thank you for making him feel like a man again.’ It got me worked up. That was a defining moment in my life.” Kelley, despite about to graduate in December with a degree in marketing from Alabama sees a future in summer camps for himself. “I just love camp,” Kelley said. “I will have to find a way to make marketing and camp work.” This past week was teen week and sports camp at Camp ASCCA and Jared Rehm, an adaptive sports specialist with Auburn University Office of Accessibility has been helping out. “It has been a really good collaboration,” Rehm said. “We started coming out for the day about six years ago
and this is the second year we have been here for the whole week.” “We have been doing sports camps for year,” Camp ASCCA’s Dana Rickman said. “They have really helped us grow sports camp.” Sports camp mixes children with disabilities with children ‘normal’ children so that both can learn from one another. Wednesday the group tackled hand bikes, essentially multispeed tricycles power with the user’s arms. “It is harder to maneuver than my chair,” Montgomery’s Ricky Trebar said. “But it is a better work out and more fun.” Kassidi Higgs is a teen without any disabilities, but said the experience has been educational. “It is a whole different perspective,” Higgs said. “It’s still fun.”

act or deviant sexual intercourse with a student under the age of 19 and one count of a school employee having sexual contact with a student under the age of 19. He was booked into the Tallapoosa County Jail with bond set at $30,000. Crayton posted bond and was released. According to court records, Crayton’s case has been assigned to Judge Kim Taylor and a first court call is scheduled for Sept. 10 at 9 a.m. No attorney has filed an appearance notification with the court. The discussion that preceded the board’s vote Thursday morning centered on the wording in the Code of Alabama (Statute 13A-6-83) which says the board “may” place an employee in Crayton’s position on administrative leave with pay “while the charge is adjudicated.” Board vice chairman Randy Anderson inquired whether that wording meant the board was “required” to continue to pay Crayton. “Without getting into any parsing of the word ‘may,’ I think the legislative intent here was to give the employer the option to take the employee out of the system (while charges are still pending),” said board attorney Mark Allen Treadwell. “Why would we want to do anything more than (place Crayton on leave without pay)?” asked board member Michael Carter. “He hasn’t been convicted of anything.” Anderson responded he was preparing to “answer questions from constituents.” Treadwell advised the board that he felt placing Crayton on leave without pay was appropriate. “With the level of information that law enforce-
ment has provided to the superintendent up to this point – which is basically very little, if any – I think this is the right thing to do,” Treadwell said. Tallapoosa County Schools Superintendent Joe Windle said Monday that the school system reported the allegations as soon as they became aware and turned the investigation over to the sheriff’s department. According to Tallapoosa County Sheriff Jimmy Abbett, the investigation is ongoing. Windle said that Crayton was a non-certified aide who had been with the school system for more than a decade. He had worked at Horseshoe Bend, but last year was assigned to Dadeville High School. He worked in adaptive physical education at the high school, Dadeville Elementary and Councill Middle School. Windle said Crayton also worked with the coaching staff for the football team at Dadeville High School. “It’s a sad day all around,” Windle said. “You think that because you are smaller and more rural that this kind of thing can’t happen here. So many of our staff are people that we have known all our lives. But these days, no system is immune. Now, we will allow the legal process to dictate our action.” While school or law enforcement officials would not comment on any specifics of the investigation, the possibility of inappropriate behavior was discovered when a parent viewed a communication said to be from Crayton and intended for the student. Because of the nature of the communication, the parent reported it immediately to school officials.
The two charges are part of new state laws that deal with inappropriate conduct by school employees. Statute 13A-6-81, which reads “School employee engaging in a sex act or deviant sexual intercourse with a student under the age of 19 years” is a Class B felony. The code gives a graphic legal definition of “deviant sexual intercourse,” but it was inappropriate for publication here. Statute 13A-6-82, school employee having sexual contact with a student under the age of 19 years, says that “sexual contact means any touching of the sexual or other intimate parts of a student, done for the purpose of gratifying the sexual desire of either party. The term includes soliciting or harassing a student to perform a sex act.”
The crime is a Class A misdemeanor. According to court records, the case has been assigned to Judge Kim Taylor and a first court call is listed as Sept. 10 at 9 a.m. No attorney has filed an appearance notification with the court.

PLAYING ON THE BIG STAGE
Dadeville native Caldwell joins Dadeville’s Tolbert to represent Alabama in MLB’s RBI World Series Horseshoe Bend By Robert Hudson
By Robert Hudson Record Sports Editor
Record Sports Editor
A local high school softball player will be heading to the Lone Star State early next month. Dadeville High School rising senior shortstop and River Region RBI of Alabama team member Kristen Tolbert will head to Dallas Aug. 3-9 for Major League Baseball’s RBI World Series after winning the Southeast Regional Tournament this past weekend in Chattanooga, Tennessee. The MLB RBI (Reviving Baseball in Inner Cities) Program aims to get players in the inner cities and urban areas back into the games of baseball and softball and provides development and exposure, as the World Series will be broadcast nationally on the ESPN family of networks. “This is Kristen’s first year with the River Region Softball team. She pitches and plays shortstop, and hits in the number four slot. She has been very productive for us here,” said Krystle WilsonLawson, Tolbert’s pitching coach and head coach of the River Region team. “She’s a great leader, hard working and plays with a tremendous amount of heart. I know that Kristen is one of those athletes that is always trying to get better. We are very fortunate to have her in our program.” During the Southeast Regional Tournament, Tolbert had a .600 batting average, a .750 on-base percentage and nine RBI. The River Region team won its first game 10-3 against Tampa, won its second game 10-4 over Miami, tied its third game 9-9 against Chattanooga before winning the championship 7-6 against Chattanooga. Tolbert said it has been a great experience to improve her game and meet new friends. “It was a good experience and exciting. I’m just learning from my errors and how to keep myself up and keep playing,” Tolbert said. “It’s been good. I’m making new
A Dadeville native is returning home to Tallapoosa County to begin his coaching career. Former Dadeville High School standout and University of West Alabama quarterback Kyle Caldwell has joined the Horseshoe Bend School varsity football coaching staff for the 2015 season. Caldwell said it is a great feeling to return home and start a new chapter in his life. “It’s just good being able to be close to family and being close to teams that you’re pretty familiar with,” Caldwell said. “It’s not that much of a challenge making the Caldwell adjustment, but it’s a challenge because it is something new.” Caldwell shined at the collegiate level as quarterback of West Alabama. He was named 2014 Gulf South Conference Co-Player of the Year after finishing the season with 2,427 yards passing with a 60.2 completion percentage and 21 touchdowns. Caldwell also ran for 468 yards on 105 carries, averaging 4.5 yards-percarry and scoring five touchdowns. Caldwell’s accolades also include being a four-time member of the GSC Academic Honor Roll, winning the 2011 GSC Freshman Offensive Player of the Year and being named GSC Offensive Player of the Year in 2013. He is also UWA’s alltime leader in total offense (9,090 yards), yards passing (7,731 yards) and touchdowns (72). He said he hopes to bring his experience to Horseshoe Bend in helping develop the team’s quarterbacks. “I’m going to be helping out with the offense and working with the quarterbacks, mostly,” Caldwell said. “I think I can teach them more about playing the game, how to read a defense or just how sometimes it’s not about specific plays, it’s about which player is playing the best that night. I think I can kind of provide some motivation here and there.” Caldwell added he’s excited about the new opportunity. “It’s been going fine and it’s been an easy transition,” Caldwell said. “I’m just excited for new opportunities.”

friends.” Wilson-Lawson, a Holtville graduate with spots on the Alabama High School Athletic Association records list as a pitcher, said she has been proud to be a coach for the team. “This opportunity to coach these amazing young women and represent my state is one of a lifetime,” Wilson-Lawson
said. “Hard work, dedication, and persistence from this team took them from Chattanooga, where they won a regional championship, to Dallas where they will be given yet another opportunity to showcase their talents on ESPN.” Tolbert said she is thankful for the opportunity to be a part of the River Region team. “Just being able to go to
the World Series is exciting. I just never knew I’d be able to. I want to thank my pitching coach (Wilson-Lawson) and the RBI team for picking me to be on the team,” Tolbert said. “I want to thank my parents for taking me back and forth. I also want to thank my sponsors that are helping me be able to go compete in this World Series.”
Local coaches ready to adapt to new practice rules By Robert Hudson Record Sports Editor
The first practice of the 2015 high school football season is officially less than two weeks away, as local coaches are preparing to install their strategy for the new year while also adapting to new rules. This past spring the Alabama High School Athletic Association Central Board adopted new safety guidelines to limit fullspeed contact practices. Horseshoe Bend Coach Jason Franklin said the biggest question is what does and does not constitute contact during the course of a practice. “That second week (of practice), you have to manage your 120 minutes a week for the week of preseason as far as contact,” Franklin said. “We’ll know on Thursday as far as what they’re looking for out of that, what they’re counting as the 120 minutes and what is classified as contact. That’s what we’re uncertain of right now. If you’re doing a drill and you’re just kind of hitting up against each other, is that contact? Or will it be 11-on-11 where players are taking each other to the ground? That’s what I think most coaches are unsure of right now is how that’s going to play out. We’ll learn more Thursday at the rules meeting.” That meeting will be the AHSAA rules clinic in Montgomery. According to the new guidelines, the first two days of fall practice will be in shorts and helmets, followed by shoulder pads and helmets on the third day not to exceed 90 minutes. On the fourth day, shoulder pads and helmets are to be used with the practice not exceeding 120 minutes. On the fifth practice day, one fullspeed contact practice, not to exceed 90 minutes of full-speed contact is allowed.
Week two would allow alternating days of full-speed contact practice, not to exceed a combined total of 120 minutes of full-speed contact practice per week. In addition, one intra-squad scrimmage would be allowed in week two. Beginning week 3, alternating days of fullspeed contact practice, not to exceed a combined total of 120 minutes of full-speed contact practice per week, will be permitted. One interscholastic scrimmage or contest will be allowed in week three, while 90 minutes of full-speed contact practice is permitted week four through the end of the season. Dadeville Coach Richard White said the new rules will not have much effect on the Tigers, as Dadeville has limited the amount of contact in practices since switching to a spread offense. “It’s not going to affect us as much because we’ve practically been doing that anyway. I feel like you don’t need to hit every day in practice,” White said. “There are certainly some things you need to work on like tackling, but it’s mainly a mindset with your kids when it comes to that. In my book, you go out there and beat each other up for an hour or an hour and a half, you’re not accomplishing much. There are some times where you need to scrimmage to see where you are and those type things, but I think you can get what you need to get done in full pads in a 15-20 minute period depending on what you’re trying to do.” As for both programs, coaches said the first week of fall practices will not be much different from years past, with the fundamentals of their respective schemes taking center stage. “We’ve already started working schemewise and on our practice schedule and things like that, as far as looking at what

we’ll be able to do every week with contact time-wise,” Franklin said. “The first week is pretty much mostly in just helmets anyway, so you don’t have to worry about contact as much until the end of the week when you usually put on the pads.” “The main thing we look to do is go in and work on fundamentals and make sure they understand what techniques we do,” White said. “Then we’ll start implementing our base defense, offense and kicking game.” White said one thing that coaches will be more keenly aware of during the first week is making sure players do not overheat. “You’re going to have to get acclimated to the heat, that’s the main thing. It’s going
to be hot when you start putting on helmets and shoulder pads, you’re going to have to keep an eye on your kids and make sure they don’t overheat,” White said. “There may come a couple of times where when we get full pads on we’ll do what we need to do for 30 or 40 minutes then let them take their shoulder pads off to cool their body down.” And once teams do officially suit up in full pads, Franklin said coaches will be ready to carry out the purpose of those new practice guidelines: making the game safer for everyone. “We’ll adapt,” Franklin said. “We’re all just trying to make this game safer and make sure it will last for a long time.”

Area political leaders talk special session Steve Flowers releases memoir, “Of Goats and Governors�
Pundit Flowers, Sen. Brewbaker discuss Capital Hill events By Griffin Pritchard The Tallassee Tribune
With the clock ticking, Gov. Robert Bentley ordered a special session July 14. The state’s Republican-led legislature gathered and then immediately called a recess. “By doing that, they have made the governor pretty much irrelevant in the process,� former legislator and current political pundit, Steve Flowers said Monday morning in a conversation with The Tribune. “It tells me the Legislature has gotten independent.� The special session was called after the original session ended with budget questions unanswered and the state facing a major economic shortfall. “I think moving the call up made an agreement hard to reach,� Sen. Dick Brewbaker said Monday afternoon. “We are coming back with only six calendar days left. Anybody that’s bound and determined to filibuster can kill the session. I’m sure, God willing, we’ll come up with something
to vote for, it’s just that solution has eluded so far.� Originally, Bentley laid out a tax plan looking to add $541 million to the state’s Steve Flowers empty coffers. In new proposals, he is seeking tax revenue just over $310 million. “If (the legislature) passes anything Bentley has asked for, it would be by accident,� Flowers said. “There are three factions within the Senate. If you take out the Democrats, the Republicans are divided eight, eight and eight. They are dividing into philosophical groups and it may be indicative of the climate within the state. But, they have left the governor out of the mix. Right now, his only action during this whole process was calling (the special section).� Brewbaker’s opinion differs. “The (political climate) is the same as it always was,�
Brewbaker said. “You have the legislators trying to represent their constituents the best they can. Somebody is going to have to pay the tax and whomever they are is not going to like it. If we can’t get this settled in six days, then I see the governor calling another special session. There’s nothing else we can do.� According to Brewbaker, options are around: “transferring part of the tax to the General Fund, that will probably happen and a lot of people are talking about a raise in the cigarette tax. Those are the two things that have gotten the most action so far.� And then there is the elephant in the room – the gambling issue. “Part of the problem we’ve got is gaming and other similar issues muddying the water,� Brewbaker said. “It’s not going to help us in the short run. We don’t need short-run money. We are all going to meet again this week and we are trying to find an agreement. Hopefully we will.�
Staff Report The Record
Few states have as fascinating a political history as Alabama, especially in the post-World War II era. Moving onto and off the state’s electoral stage during this time period of remarkable transformation have been some of the most interesting figures in 20th-century American government and politics. Now, the backstage intrigue of Alabama politics receives a lively treatment in Of Goats and Governors, the high-spirited new memoir by former Alabama Representative Steve Flowers. Steve Flowers is Alabama’s most watched and read political columnist and commentator. His column on Alabama politics appears weekly in 66 Alabama newspapers. In addition to his famous column, he serves as the political analyst for the University of Alabama radio and television network. His weekly radio commentary for the University is listened to statewide on Alabama Public Radio. He is also the political analyst for WAKA/the Alabama news network in Montgomery. Steve has been an up close
observer and participant in Alabama politics for more than 50 years. He is considered the utmost authority on Alabama politics. Steve served in the Alabama House of Representatives from 1982-1998. During his 16 year tenure he recorded a perfect attendance record. His House colleagues honored him as Outstanding Freshman member in 1982, Most Ethical member in 1988, and Most Outstanding member in 1992. “Steve Flowers’ ability to dive deep into Alabama’s colorful political history makes Of Goats and Governors a must read.� - U.S. Senator Richard Shelby “Of Goats & Governor offers a peephole through which readers can look back at three exuberant generations of Alabama politics.� – Dr. Edwin Bridges, Director Emeritus, Alabama Department of Archives and History There could be no better guide to this colorful history than Steve Flowers. Former Alabama Attorney General and Lieutenant Governor Bill Baxley says, “Steve Flowers has become our state’s leading political columnist and commentator. Of Goats and Governors is delightful.�
Creek Indians appealing to public on their offer to bail out state By David Granger Record Staff Writer
Do the right thing. No, it’s not a Spike Lee Joint. It’s the message of the new commercial and recent full-page newspaper ad from the Poarch Band of Creek Indians urging citizens to contact Gov. Robert Bentley and their legislators and voice their support for the Poarch Band’s offer of $250 million to fix the state’s general fund crisis in exchange for table games and gaming exclusivity in Alabama. “Our state is in an economic crisis,� said Robert McGhee, the treasurer and governmental relations adviser for the Poarch Band. “Our tribe is willing and able to help solve the immediate deficit and help protect jobs and essential services that Alabama families depend on. We are hopeful that the governor and the state will partner with us for the common good of Alabamians.� In its efforts to move Alabamians and legislators to support a compact between the Poarch Band and the state, the tribe has
purchased air time in all major Alabama markets for a one-minute commercial and the full-page newspaper advertisements in approximately 75 newspapers in the state. The television ad features individuals from all walks of life bemoaning the state’s general-fund crisis and lauding the Poarch Creeks’ acumen with the operation of gaming facilities. At the end of the spot, the viewer is urged to contact the governor and his or her legislators in support of the compact. In the Montgomery area, the ad’s placement includes spots during local evening and late-night newscasts. The Alabama Press Association estimates that the Poarch Band’s two early-July newspaper buys for its full-page ad each enabled delivery of the ad to more than 700,000 homes with an estimated readership of well over one million Alabamians. Talk about a compact between the state and the Poarch Band initially surfaced during the 2014 gubernatorial campaign.

After Bentleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Democratic rival Parker Griffith supported the idea, Bentley told a Birmingham radio host it would be among the options for solving the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s general fund crisis that he would consider. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When I get all the recommendations ... which will include a lottery, which will include a compact with the Poarch Creek Indians, when I get the recommendations, we will look at everything and that will be one of the things we will look at,â&#x20AC;? Bentley said of a potential compact at the time. Most recently, however, Bentleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s proclamation calling for the special legislative session â&#x20AC;&#x201C; which began Monday only to see the Legislature adjourn until Aug. 3 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; stated: â&#x20AC;&#x153;All legislation regarding gambling or games of chance commonly played at casinos or gambling facilities is expressly excluded from this call and shall require a two-thirds vote for consideration throughout the duration of this extraordinary session of the Legislature.â&#x20AC;?

ready. The tribe is said to have generated as much as $600 million in revenues in 2012, according to its annual report, with its PCI Gaming claiming net earnings of $322 million the same year. The tribeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Wind Creek casino/hotel complex in Atmore was completed in 2009. Wind Creek Wetumpka, featuring four restaurants and shopping, saw the casino completed in 2013 and the 20-story hotel open last year. Finally, the tribeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s soon-to-be five-story Montgomery complex, which is undergoing a $65 million expansion, is set for completion early next year. The Poarch Band is also building a hotel near the Redstone gateway in Huntsville and has rights to build another. It has acquired interest in a group of Florida hotels in tourist destinations like Pensacola, Fort Walton Beach and the Orlando area. Finally, it provided seed money for the development of Blue Collar Country, a huge entertainment venue planned for Foley. PUBLIC NOTICES

Alabama had its share of July 4th political fireworks
T
he week leading up to the Fourth of July had a lot of fireworks. In fact, my guess is that when we look back at the year 2015, we will look to that week as the most momentous of the year. It was like bang, bang, bang. The declaration by the Supreme Court that same sex marriage is the law of the land may be one of the most monumental court decisions in decades and unquestionably the landmark ruling by the high tribunal this year. The same week we saw a settlement of the BP case. It was expected and predicted that this verdict would not come down until late 2016 or early 2017. It will be a boon to Alabama’s general fund, but not a panacea. Also, the same week Gov. Robert Bentley took down all the confederate flags around the Capitol. This decision may not play well with some arch conservatives around the state, but they cannot retaliate against Bentley. He cannot run again anyway. He did it because he thought it was in the best interest of the state. Gov. Bentley said removing four confederate flags from around the Capitol was “the right thing to do.” He continued, “It’s important that we present an image in Alabama that things are different today than they were in 1963.” Bentley, who has hung his hat on luring new industry into the state during his time as governor, believed that the confederate flag issue could be a deterrent to potential industrial recruitment. He said he wanted to head off controversy about

the flags that might distract from our image and put us in an unfavorable light with corporations around the nation or globe. Hours after the flags came down, Bentley announced that Google plans to convert an old coal-burning power plant in rural Jackson County near Huntsville into a $600 million data center. Ironically, Bentley’s decisive move to remove the flags may be looked on in future years as one of his legacies as governor. The BP settlement the week of the Fourth of July will go down as a legacy for Alabama. We will reap $55 million a year into our general fund over the next 18 years. The total settlement will be $2.3 billion for our state. About $1.3 billion will go to environmental restoration along Alabama’s coastal area and $1 billion will go to the state for economic damages. Although most of the economic loss came in the area of income and sales taxes that would generally go to the Education Trust Fund, legislators have passed legislation to earmark the money to the general fund. The $1 billion will be paid out over 18 years, which will come to about $55 million per year. It has been five years since the explosion at an off shore well and subsequent oil spill that killed 11 men and devastated the economy of the Gulf Coast. Alabama was one of five states affected by the BP trag-

edy. A total settlement of $18.7 billion will be paid out to all of the five states. Attorney General Luther Strange did a yeoman’s job on the settlement. He headed the entire legal legwork. By foregoing outside legal counsel, he saved the state millions. Other states, like Louisiana, spent over $10 million on outside counsel. The presiding judge, U.S. District Judge Carl Barbier, early on made Strange the lead counsel on the case. Attorney General Strange and Gov. Bentley held a joint press conference announcing the historic settlement. Strange said, “I think Alabama has received the very best settlement possible. I think it will benefit future generations of Alabamians.” Gov. Bentley said emphatically and repeatedly that the BP settlement will not solve Alabama’s general fund shortfall. “This will not solve the problem,” Bentley said, “Does it help some? Yes, absolutely.” When

asked if the new money might give lawmakers the excuse to avoid raising taxes or seeking solutions, Bentley said it should not. He emphasized that the BP windfall is not the golden parachute that legislators are hoping for. “There is a $400 million gap in the general fund so $55 million would only be 12 percent of that amount and it may not even start this year,” Bentley said. He continued, “I’m always afraid that anyone can make the excuse to take some one-time money given in one-time fashion and not solve the real problems of our state.” A Special Session was called last week even with the BP windfall.
