Mayor: new jobs, industry coming to Dadeville By CLIFF WILLIAMS Staff Writer
Dadeville Mayor Wayne Smith shared some good news of possible businesses and industry coming to the City of Dadeville. “We are close to breaking ground on a revised truck stop and 40 room hotel,” Smith told the Dadeville Kiwanis Club last Thursday afternoon. “We feel a major restaurant will soon be piggy backing on it too. Something like Waffle House or a Huddle House.” Smith explained the city is looking at a new tax to help bolster revenues for the town. “We are in the process of putting in a lodging tax before the hotel goes in,” Smith said. “It will provide extra monies for the budget.” He explained with Dadeville being close to several attractions, the lodging tax could prove fruitful. “We have Auburn football, bass tournaments on the lake and families looking to stay near family, I think the hotel will do well,” Smith said. “Maybe a hotel will turn day visits into two, three day visits.” Smith said he was also talking to Alabama Power about creating a campground somewhere between DARE Park and Smith Mountain with sites from primitive up to fully improved. Currently the closest campground is Wind Creek State Park. Smith did not stop the See JOBS • Page A5

It might appear as if Gary Ingram Paving has left the Highway 280 paving project almost complete, but that is not the case. Crews are having to wait to complete the project. “We are up to a point of having to wait several weeks for a curing period,” Gary Ingram Paving’s Jeff Harte said. “We have to wait for that before we apply a final special layer of asphalt in certain areas.” Harte said the paving will be See PAVING • Page A8
Clate McDaniel sits stoically, showing little emotion as the jury delivers a guilty verdict in his murder trial Friday at the Tallapoosa County Courthouse in Dadeville. McDaniel will be sentenced on July 29 and, under Alabama law, faces at least 20 years and no more than 99 years, or the potential of a life sentence.

Jury finds McDaniel murdered Norman Crayton in 2016 By MITCH SNEED Editor
A Tallapoosa County jury took just 50 minutes to find Clate McDaniel guilty of murder. After more than two years of legal wrangling, four full days of testimony and evidence, a 12-person panel, made up of seven women and five men where seven were white and five were black, found that evidence showed beyond a reasonable doubt that McDaniel murdered Norman Crayton in a green field off Barron’s Bridge Road on Jan. 17, 2016. When the verdict was read, McDaniel, who was dressed in a lightcolored, long-sleeved button-down and khaki pants, sat next to his attorney Davis Whittelsey. His expression never changed as he looked into the See MCDANIEL • Page A5

Shooting
continued from page A1
Barbara Buttles, 75. Tallassee Police Chief Matthew Higgins said the incident appeared to be domestic in nature. Court records show that the man had been served with a protective order on Monday and ordered out of the couple’s home and to not have any contact with Tresea Miller or their adult son. “It does appear that two of the victims were husband and wife or estranged husband and wife,” Higgins said early Tuesday. TPD’s preliminary investigation “determined that there was a previous history of domestic
incidents between the family members.” According to court records, Fifth Judicial Circuit Court Judge Tom Young signed a protective order Tuesday morning prior to the incident for Tresea Miller in what apparently was the beginning of her filing for a divorce from her husband, Harold. Two vehicles were involved in the incident, Higgins said. Harold Miller was driving one vehicle and the women were in the other. Miller apparently rammed the women’s car with his, shot the women and then turned the gun on himself.
Both of the women were pronounced dead at the scene inside one of the vehicles, a white Nissan SUV which had taken nine gunshots to or through the windshield. The women died from multiple gunshots, according to the press release. Harold Miller’s body was found lying in the parking lot. His wound was self-inflicted, Higgins said. The TPD received a call about the incident at 10:15 a.m. “We heard him empty (the gun) out, there was a pause and then we heard one more,” said a neighbor, who lives diagonally across Gilmer
Avenue from the Walmart. “I heard ‘em shooting and I thought they might have been shooting a snake and caused a wreck or something.” Higgins said there was never any danger inside Walmart and the entire incident took place outside the store some distance away from the entrance. Higgins said TPD officers responded within five minutes of receiving the call. He said the Elmore County Sheriff’s Office and the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency were assisting at the scene. The Federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms is also
involved in the investigation, looking into the gun and spent cartridges found at the scene. Court records show that the Millers had been married 43 years, but Tresea Miller’s affidavit for a protective order said that she had been verbally abused for decades and was recently beaten and bruised by her husband. The document also claimed that Harold Miller threatened to kill their 23-year-old son with a hammer. Harold Miller was ordered to not come within 1,000 feet of his wife or son and had a court hearing set for July 18 in Dadeville.
Abuse first thing Tuesday, was electronically filed with the court’s clerk a mere nine minutes before Tallassee police received the first report of the shooting in the Walmart parking lot. Young could not speak to the specifics of the Miller case Wednesday morning, but commented generally on what he and other judges realize about protection orders. “When it gets to the point where someone feels they have no other choice but to seek a protective order, obviously, there are some very serious issues,” Young said. “You consider the facts as they are laid out and you make the decision. When you issue a protective order, you hope those involved will take that action as a warning and realize it’s time to back off and calm down to avoid bigger problems. Unfortunately, you never know when it may be the last straw and sets someone off.” On Tuesday morning, Harold Miller rammed his wife’s car in which his mother-in-law, Barbara Buttles, was also a passenger with his vehicle in the parking lot of the Tallassee Walmart. He then got out of his vehicle and shot at least nine times through the windshield of the car containing the two women, killing both. Harold Miller then shot himself dead next to the vehicle containing his dead wife and mother-in-law. Tallassee Police Chief
continued from page A1
Matthew Higgins said in a news release his department got the first call of the Tuesday shooting at Walmart at 10:15 a.m. The protection order against Harold Miller was electronically filed in the Circuit Court of Tallapoosa County at 10:06 a.m. Tuesday but the Tallapoosa County Sheriff’s Department had not yet received a copy of the order to serve to Harold Miller before the shooting. Tresea Miller filled out paperwork requesting the order on Monday. She was also in the process of filing for divorce. The order enjoined Harold Miller from coming within 1,000 feet of Tresea Miller’s
residence in Notasulga and from contacting, stalking or harassing her. In her petition for the order, Tresea Miller said she suffered abuse from her husband at their residence in the eastern portion of Tallassee in Tallapoosa County, where they had a home on Coon Creek Landing Road. Tresea Miller wrote “May 27, 2018. Jumped on top of me because I had his phone. Bent my fingers. He bruised my legs and arms. Verbal abuse for 43 years. Threatened to kill my imaginary boyfriends. He threatened to kill my son with a hammer. He loses his temper quickly,

calls me and our son filthy names. We never know what will set him off.” Tresea Miller also said in her petition her estranged husband insinuated he would set fire to their home and would “not move out of the family home so I can clean it.” Tallapoosa County Sheriff Jimmy Abbett said
Wednesday his office was familiar with the Millers. “We’ve had several calls with complaints regarding (the Millers) that were domestic in nature,” Abbett said. “I don’t know exactly how many, but several. That’s about all I can say since the investigation is ongoing.”
After checking records, Abbett said they had been called to the Millers’ home three times dating back to 2017. Buttles is also mentioned in Tresea Miller’s petition for the protection order as someone who needed protection from Harold Phillip Miller, as is the Millers’ 23-year-old son, Justin.

Call for a change in immigration policy
T
hey are stepping across a line drawn in the sand, men ordered this way, women another and yet children another. If a family enters the United States from Mexico without permission, immigration officials should not separate minor children from their parents. To do so – to detain adults in one facility and send kids to a shelter, maybe in a different state – is cruel and unnecessary. Yet it’s happening. This editorial is not to say we should ignore those who come to this country illegally. The laws of this country should be enforced and if someone wants to come to this country, they should follow the legal avenues to do so. If they break the law, they should go or be prosecuted. By this side-effect of zero tolerance – the practice of separating children from their families as they cross the border – is drawing outrage and is just plain wrong. Just this week we learned of 1,500 boys housed at an old Walmart in Texas while their parents are elsewhere wondering if they will ever be reunited. Children are alone and their parents are miles, maybe even states, away. This spring, the White House made it a priority that everyone caught crossing the border illegally be prosecuted. All right, they have broken the law. Our system says children cannot accompany parents to jail and that is where the system is flawed. Is this the administration’s idea of stopping illegal border crossings? Why was there a need to change the way these instances were handled that dated back to the Bush administration? Is it going to be a bargaining chip for getting something else the administration wants? How many children have been separated from their parents? Why not figure out a way to at least house children with their mothers? The Catholic church has called the practice out. The United Nations has taken notice. The American Psychological Association has warned against it and nothing has changed. Even President Trump’s wife has spoken out against the practice, saying the U.S. needs to “govern with heart.” It seems we are treating the symptom rather than the disease. The president blames the Democrats: “Why don’t the Democrats give us the votes to fix the world’s worst immigration laws?” Did he forget the House and Senate have a Republican majority? Instead of spending millions and millions to house illegal immigrants, we suggest beefing up security at the border. Trump campaigned on building a wall and the American public was all for it. The President’s party does control Congress, getting it passed shouldn’t be a problem. Surely those we trusted with our vote can do better. Call for a change. Contact U.S. Rep. Mike Rogers at his Opelika office at 334-745-6221. Contact Sen. Richard Shelby at his Washington D.C. office at 202-224-5744. Contact Sen. Doug Jones at his Washington D.C. office at 202-224-4124. Let them know that you what you think will fix the problem and this inhumane practice.

An issue conservatives and liberals agree on Our Mission
W
ithin the United States, there’s been little discussion on any topic other than what we should do with children of parents who have been seeking amnesty in the United States. And conservatives are increasingly joining liberals in opposing the decision to isolate the kids of parents seeking amnesty in the United States. A Quinnipiac University poll taken on June 14-17, 2018 finds that two-thirds of Americans oppose this new policy of prosecuting parents immediately, separating children from their parents, and locking them in detention facilities. While 91 percent of Democrats and 68 percent of Independents oppose this measure, Republicans are a little more evenly split, with just a little more than half supporting the president’s policy. GOP voters are the most likely to be “unsure,” however, and they should hear what their leaders are saying about the policy. Conservative talk show host Hugh Hewitt is the latest to break with the Trump Administration on this issue, joining evangelical leader Samuel Rodriguez, according to the Christian Broadcast Network. Conservative Weekly Standard Editor Bill Kristol joined in the criticism of the policy, as did Jeb Bush and Laura Bush. And Conservative speaker Ben Shapiro said “Congress can fix this separation policy easily. All they have to do is pass a law clarifying that those held for asylum

Letter to the Editor
Elected officials should stop immigration separation Dear Editor, I would like to share with you this open letter to some of our elected officials. Dear Gov. Kay Ivey, Sen. Richard Shelby, Rep. Mike Rogers: All of us should be ashamed of ourselves treating immigrant children in such an inhumane way. Myself, for not speaking out enough to politicians that can do something to stop this horrendous act! This is an act of Donald Trump’s and Jeff Sessions’ making and totally illegal. Don’t say it was Obama’s because it wasn’t. He did send people back but he did NOT take children away from their parents. I am so disappointed in all of you that are supporting this racist president and racist attorney general. Totally disgusting on all of our parts for allowing these immoral acts to happen and continue to happen. Gov. Ivey, if you have troops down there helping take children away from their parents, I do hope you will have the guts to stop this immediately. Listen to those tapes …really listen. The Statue of Liberty states to send the tired, poor and huddled masses that are yearning to be free.
Hitler took children from their parents in Germany; are we another regime that does horrendous acts? These immigrants are running away from terrible conditions such as rape and murder and Sessions wants them to leave the children! The women are trying to do this legally but the border patrol is stopping them and turning them back. The children are placed in tents in 100-degree temperature. Do you want to try to sit in a tent with those temperatures? Would you want your child torn from your arms when you are trying to save them from a terrible fate? None of you are Native Americans, are you? So why do you think they are so different from your ancestors? Why don’t you care? I guess one of the things that infuriates me the most is this: Trump and Sessions are trying to quote the Bible. They will burn in Hell for this atrocious act. How can they call themselves Christians? How can they sleep at night when these children are crying for their mommy and daddy? This act is so morally wrong. Where is your empathy? Do Republicans even have that anymore? I can see the
president hasn’t any, but what about you? Is money this important that you cannot even stand up to a racist or are you one also? Hopefully you will listen to the tapes and learn from a constituent that votes religiously. Judy Palfrey Dadeville

gallery where some family members were in tears, including his mother. Some of the Crayton family also sobbed silently, while some hugged each other. Judge Tom Young polled the jury, then told McDaniel that he would be sentenced on June 29 at the Tallapoosa County Courthouse in Dadeville. Under Alabama law, since the crime involved a gun, McDaniel faces sentence of at least 20 years and no more than 99 years, or the potential of a life sentence. McDaniel, who appeared on the History Channel reality series “Bamazon� in 2012, was remanded to custody and led out of the courtroom. After meeting with the Crayton family, District Attorney Jeremy Duerr thanked Assistant District Attorneys Michael Weldon and Robbie Trease, all those who played a role in the investigation from the Tallapoosa County Sheriff’s Office, those who testified and most of all the jury. “I would like to thank the jury,� Duerr said. “They had a tough, tough job, but they sat here for five days and they listened very carefully to the evidence and I think they saw past his wild, crazy story that nobody outside his best friends, people who work for his family or people who they paid to testify could corroborate. “They saw through all that,
blaming investigators and us. They saw through it and gave that family justice.� Crayton’s brother Darryll Young said following the verdict that there was a sense of relief. “It’s been a long time and we wondered if we would ever see this day,� Darryll Young said. “I’m thankful for all the hard work by the lawyers and the people who investigated. I thank the jury. Now he can rest.� There was no dispute that McDaniel shot Crayton multiple times, but the jury had to determine whether the shooting was justified under the letter of the law. In his closing argument, Whittelsey was critical of investigators and prosecutors in the case for not “seeking the truth� and called Crayton’s death “justifiable homicide.� “If you believe the Tallapoosa County Sheriff’s Office and the district attorney investigated this case to find the truth — that is beyond belief,� Whittelsey told the jury in his closing. “They set out on an investigation to convict Clate McDaniel of murder.� Whittelsey was critical of why investigators didn’t interview more people who were at people at Col. Tom’s and why only “selective evidence� was presented. Whittelsey said Crayton’s
“violent and tumultuous� past along with the testimony of McDaniel and others should prove this was nothing but selfdefense. “If Norman wasn’t deceased, Clate would be,� Whittelsey said, later adding, “This was not murder. It’s not manslaughter. It was justifiable homicide.� Whittelsey said McDaniel may have been guilty of one thing. “If he’s guilty of anything, he’s guilty of freaking out after the fact in the way he treated Norman afterwards,� Whittelsey said. Duerr did the final closing for the state, after Trease had laid the legal groundwork to show why McDaniel’s actions fit the charge of murder. He said even if the events happened the way McDaniel said, that because he was trespassing, he had the obligation to retreat. “He had many opportunities not to kill Norman Crayton and he didn’t take a single one of them,� Trease said. “He could have driven off when they were at the office. He could have let Norman get out of the truck instead of flooring it. He could have ran into the woods if he was really that scared of the Big Bad Wolf as they would have you believe that Norman Crayton was. “He admitted to killing Norman and he didn’t have to.�
Jobs
In his closing, Duerr suggested McDaniel was mad at Norman because he had given him a job, worked him that day, bought him two meals and took him to his bar, set up a tab and then Norman embarrassed him by hitting on a white woman he had been dating. Then when they got back to McDaniel’s place of business, Crayton asked the woman to take him home to the Gap in front of McDaniel, who had control of the gun at that point. “That’s when he said to himself ‘Oh hell no,’â€? Duerr theorized. “He told (the woman) to ‘go on. I got this.’ That’s when he decided that he would take care of this himself.â€? Duerr asked the jury if McDaniel’s story or his actions added up to self-defense. He asked why a man who had killed someone in self-defense would drag the body to hide what he had done, set the victim on fire and would get more emotional about his dog dying on the stand than he did about killing a man. “Who gets his fiancĂŠe to pay off four witnesses to get them to testify for you?â€? Duerr asked. “A guilty person does that. Clate McDaniel did that. ‌Give this family some peace and show them that Norman’s life was worth more than the $80 that was spent trying to cover it up.â€? Whittelsey objected and

good news there. “At the Bill Thweatt Industrial Park, two businesses are looking to locate there,� Smith said. “One is good and would have about 100 jobs, the other is great with about 400 jobs paying an average of about $42,000.� Smith said he could not reveal too much about the possible industries but said they are trying to work a deal. “We are going after it hard,� Smith said. “We are looking at abatements and such.� Smith did say the abatements would not affect funding for education. Smith said he is proud of the accomplishments so far in his term as mayor.
“We are approaching two years,� he said. “We had some goals when we started. I have learned a lot. If you are going to do something, it takes twice as long and twice the money due to the rules, fees and regulations.� Smith said other things are coming soon to Dadeville. Autozone is opening soon, paving on 280 should be completed soon and Alabama Power is helping with street lights. “We will have LED lights throughout the city,� Smith said. “They will be changing them out. They are new, brighter and will last longer.� He also talked about the new traffic lights. “The state turned over

maintenance for lights to cities about seven or eight years ago,� Smith said. “The state has put up new traffic lights on 280 and that should help with maintenance.� Smith does not take credit for the success. “I am not very smart,� he said. “I have surrounded myself with people that know better than me.� Smith and his team are not finished yet and will ask everyone and anyone to join the program. “If you ask someone, they are only going to say yes or no,� Smith said. “They are not going to bite. We are not done yet. We are not taking a break. “Let’s all be a part of the solution.�

moved for a mistrial, but Young overruled the objection, denied the motion and then read the charge to the jury and sent them in to decide McDaniel’s fate. The trial’s final day and verdict came a day after McDaniel had taken the stand in his own defense and a prosecution rebuttal witness seemed to indicate four Chambers County inmates who testified about Crayton’s character, had received payments in their jail accounts from McDaniel’s fiancĂŠe Erica Sweet. Thursday McDaniel was questioned by Whittelsey and explained the parts of that night he remembered vividly, but said he couldn’t remember some things after firing the shots that killed Crayton, like setting Crayton on fire and dragging his body 80 feet. “I told him to stop,â€? McDaniel said from the stand. “‘Stop, Norman, stop!’ But he kept coming. I fired a warning shot into the ground and then another one into the woods as I was moving away. By that time, he was right on top of me. I stepped back and fired at him and that didn’t stop him so I fired a shot again and then again. ... then he fell to the ground. “I can’t explain it. I mean, he was coming at me full speed, right there on me, I didn’t know what else I could do.â€?

Connect-The-Dots
The Summer season begins each year around June 21. The word “Summer” is derived from the Old Norse word sumar. Summer is the warmest of the four seasons because the Northern Hemisphere is closest to the Sun. The Southern Hemisphere experiences its Winter at this time, since it is furthest from the Sun. The start of Summer coincides with a phenomenon called the Summer Solstice. A solstice is the longest day of the year in a particular hemisphere, or the day on which we experience the most sunlight. Summer in the United States lasts until around the end of September. Hot weather allows us to participate in outdoor water sports; children have a vacation from school; and many families go on vacation. Picnics are popular, as well as certain foods and drinks, like watermelon and lemonade. During the Summer, many plants and crops, such as citrus fruits, are ready for harvest. Summer is a cheerful time with many fun things to do. When enjoying outdoor activities, always remember to drink plenty of water and wear sunscreen. Never swim without an adult, and practice summer safety!

Assistant Attorneys General Kenneth Gibbs and Katie Langer speak to members of the audience during their presentation to area law enforcement officials teaching them how to be a more effective witness if called to the stand during trial at CACC’s Betty Carol Graham Technology Center on Tuesday.
Training Attorney General Steve Marshall which was held at the Betty Carol Graham Technology Center on the campus of Central Alabama Community College. Assistant Attorneys General Chris Moore, Kenneth Gibbs and Katie Langer were the presenters. The local stop was one in a series of similar sessions being held all across the state. “About a year ago the AG’s office saw the need for a training like this,” Moore said. “So we began last year with a series on crime scene preservation and collection and the handling of evidence. We did about eight of those last year and this year we talked to law enforcement leaders and they saw a need to help officers be more effective in court. This is the second of these sessions that we’ve done and we feel like it is being well received and they are really getting a lot out of it.” Gibbs said that often times in busy judicial circuits and the new sentencing guidelines that are now in place, more cases are being settled

before they go to court. That makes appearances by investigators and field officers less frequent, Gibbs said. “We live for trials, but the truth is they are less frequent than in the past,” Gibbs, who was once a prosecutor here in the Fifth Judicial Circuit, said. “It’s just like with anything else, the less you do something, the rustier you are when the occasion arises where you are called on to testify. The aim is to be a refresher course for those who may not have been on the stand in a while and help those who may have never testified in anything more than, say, traffic court to be aware of what to expect, how to be a good witness and some of the dos and don’ts.” Langer said that much of what was covered were just basics, but in an age where technology is changing things every day, it never hurts to drive the important courtroom practices home. “The first thing we tell them is the importance of keeping good notes, being prepared before you take the stand, knowing you can refer to notes on the stand and most importantly, to tell the truth,” Langer said. “Those sound like little things, but they are really the cornerstones of law enforcement testimony.” Gibbs said another area that many eager officers forget in the heat of the moment is to limit their answers. “When you haven’t testified very often, it’s natural to be eager to tell everything fact and piece of information you know,” Gibbs said. “But we stress to listen carefully to the questions and just give the simple answer to what you are asked. A prosecutor has a plan and a line of questions to get to the points he is trying to make in a case. So, you want to be truthful, accurate and brief with the answers. If you don’t recall for sure, you say you don’t recall or don’t know. It’s hard for a defense attorney to argue with that.” Moore said that some of the questions they get in these sessions are about technology and how to handle testimony when body camera video exists. “Again, it goes back to telling the truth and being prepared,” Moore said. “Know exactly what’s on the video and be prepared to talk about what is shown.” Tallapoosa County Sheriff’s Department Chief Deputy David McMichael hosted the training which was offered free of charge to certified law enforcement officers and said it was very informative. “It’s a great opportunity to get this kind of quality training right here in our backyard at no cost,” McMichael said. “With so many agencies facing tight budgets, we jumped at the chance to take advantage of this and get as many people here as possible.”

Madolyn Daniel wins Big Fish award
4
While there were a lot of changes around the area under the new AHSAA classification structure, one of the biggest differences will be Dadeville dropping down to Class 3A. For four years now, the Tigers have competed in Class 4A and for the past two years, they have been the smallest school in the entire classification. Moreover, they’ve been grouped with some of the toughest teams in the area. Class
5
Dadeville’s fishing team had quite the season, making it to the Alabama Student Angler Bass Fishing Association state championship this year. But there was no better moment for the Tigers than when Madolyn Daniel won the Big Fish award on Lake Martin
in early March. The Big Fish award is given to the individual who bags the largest fish out of any one in the tournament. More than 350 student anglers competed, and Daniel took home the prize by bringing in a fish that weighed in at 5.19 pounds.
More impressive than winning that tournament, Daniel’s fish was actually bigger than the Big Bass award presented at the Bassmaster Elite Series tournament. That fish was bagged by winner Takahiro Omori and weighed in at just 4 pounds, 14 ounces.
Tigers drop from Class 4A to Class 3A 4A Region 3 was dubbed the “District of Doom” by many with the likes of Handley, Tallassee, Leeds, Munford and even Childersburg playing football against the Tigers. In other sports, Dadeville had to deal with teams like Tallassee, Holtville and Elmore County, all of which proved talented in basketball, softball, baseball and volleyball. Now, Dadeville will have a much different set of competitors. In football, the Tigers may not have it much easier with a slew of private teams in Class 3A Region 3.
The region will include Beulah, Bullock County, Pike Road, Prattville Christian, Saint James, Soutside Selma and Montgomery Academy. “Well, I’m glad we dropped down, but we’ve still been thrown into the fire with all these private schools, so I don’t know if it’s any better,” Dadeville football coach Richard White said of the reclassification. As for the other sports, competing against the likes of B.B. Comer, Beulah and Randolph County will certainly be different than playing with regular playoff contenders.

Glenn has 2 straight 300-yard outings A lot of eyes were on Qua Tucker when Dadeville’s football season started last year. Although Tucker delivered a decent season, he wasn’t quite as dominating as expected. But that wasn’t his fault — it was his teammate, Kadore Glenn, who exploded onto the scene and took some of the responsibility off Tucker’s shoulders. Glenn came alive in the Tigers’ 48-26 beatdown of Holtville. Glenn amassed a staggering 307 yards on just 21 carries to go along with three touchdowns. “I feel like I was just being patient,” Glenn said at the time. “I have good vision, and Coach always tells me to be patient and the holes
Tal Bullard steals a pair of victories
It’s no secret Dadeville and Reeltown are rivals in all sports, so when the teams met on the baseball field, it shouldn’t have been a surprise it came down to the wire. In the top of the eighth inning of a tied ball game, Dadeville had two outs to its name but speedster Tal Bullard was on third base. Bullard wanted to use that quickness to his advantage, so on the second pitch of Slade McCullers’ at-bat, Bullard was off to the races, stealing home for the go-ahead run in an eventual 6-5 victory. “(Coach Kyle Caldwell) looked at the pitch before and asked what do I think?” Bullard said after the game. “I wanted to watch one pitch and I saw that (Reeltown’s pitcher) was pretty
slow, so I wanted to take it. I’ve done it once or twice in practice, but it was just a chance we had to take.” It wasn’t the only time this season Bullard literally stole a victory. In the bottom of the seventh inning against Valley, Bullard played hero again. The Tigers went into the frame down a run, but Bullard doubled in the tying run, advanced to third on a passed ball then stole home for the walk-off victory. “Tal is really fast,” Caldwell said against the Reeltown win. “So I just told him to get as much as he could on his regular lead. We were going to see his first pitch and try to time it up and go on the second pitch. I told my batter to get in the very back of the box and let Tal in.”
will open. I just kept doing that, and the holes kept opening, so I kept hitting them.” Glenn’s success wasn’t short-lived, though. One week later, Glenn busted out another 300-yard game, this time with four touchdowns, against Valley. “(Former offensive coordinator Kyle Caldwell) calls them Thunder and Lightning,” White said. “You put Lightning back there, that’s Qua, then you put Thunder back there, that’s Kadore. It doesn’t give defenses a break when you swap one of them for the other. You’ve got more speed in one than the other, but you’ve got more power in one than the other, so it’s a combination of the two.”
Tucker wins 4 gold medals at state
1
Last season, Qua Tucker brought three gold medals home from the AHSAA Class 4A Track and Field championships, and it didn’t seem likely he could do much better. Until this season, that is. Tucker absolutely dominated all four of his events, capturing first place in
every single one to bring home four golds this year. “It was just an awesome display of speed and athleticism,” Dadeville track coach Chris Hand said. “The hurdles are his best events, and he just dominated in both of those, but in the 100 and 200, he had to work and drive to win those. I think people knew what a special runner he was going in, but if they didn’t, they do now. It was a treat to watch him and we sure are going to miss him.”
Tucker won the 100 in 10.63 seconds and the 200 in 21.80. In the 110 hurdles and 300 hurdles, he clocked in at 14.12 and 39.39, respectively. The 200 was his closest race; Tucker edged out Madison Academy’s Evan Brooks by just six-hundredths of a second. He won the 100 by more than two-tenths of a second. He was unstoppable in the hurdles, winning the 110 hurdles by more than a second and the 300 hurdles by a half second.

The Dadeville Record
Games to Watch
Reeltown should contend for region LaFayette edged out Reeltown for the No. 2 spot in the region last year and the right to host a first-round playoff game. The Rebels lost last year’s game, 21-7, but felt they could’ve beaten the Bulldogs and changed their postseason fate. Reeltown scored the first touchdown and went into the halftime break tied 7-7 before once again letting thing the game slip from its grasp. Also, this will be Reeltown’s first home game of the season. Although this is the Rebels’ fifth game of the year, they start the season on a four-game road trip so they won’t be in front of their home crowd until Sept. 21. But this marks the start of four straight home games. Due to the relatively weak nature of Region 4, this game could also decide quite a lot down the line despite it being just the midway point of the region schedule.
Editor’s Note: Throughout the summer, The Record will be exploring the top three games to watch for each area football team, followed by a series about the top players to watch in the area. By LIZI ARBOGAST Sports Editor With a slew of strong skill players returning and only six seniors having graduated from last year’s squad, Reeltown should be the team to watch in Tallapoosa County. The Rebels went the furthest in the playoffs last season and have gotten steadily better each year under Matt Johnson, who enters his third season as the Rebel coach. Especially due to defending state champion Lanett dropping down to Class 1A, Reeltown has a good shot at contending for the Class 2A Region 4 title but it’s not going to be an easy road.
Week 6: Thorsby Rebels
Week 1: Dadeville Tigers
As always, the Battle of Route 49 is a game to watch for both the Rebels and the Tigers. One of the biggest rivalries in the area, this series dates back to 1935 and has been played every year since 1972. Dadeville leads the series 37-15 and has won the past three seasons in a row, but it could be the Rebels’ turn this season. Not only is Dadeville expected to go through a bit of a rebuilding year after the graduation of offensive powerhouses Qua Tucker and Kadore Glenn, but Reeltown should also be coming into this game on a high note after playing Bullock County, which was 2-8 last year, in Week 1. Reeltown will also be playing with a fire, as it looks to avenge last year’s loss to Dadeville. The Rebels led 10-0 at halftime before

watching their lead slip away in a 14-10 defeat at the hands of the Tigers.
Week 4: LaFayette Bulldogs
This game will be a big one for a couple reasons.
Thorsby is a newcomer to Class 2A Region 4 and should prove to be one of Reeltown’s tougher tests of the season. The Rebels of Thorsby are coming off one of their best seasons in school history. They won eight games last season to set a school record and went 7-2 in the regular season before falling to Goshen in the second round of the postseason. Reeltown has dominated Thorsby in the four-game series. The Rebels have never lost to Thorsby and have outscored it 171-28, but it’s important to note the last time these teams met was 2003. Like the LaFayette game, this should also help clear out the playoff picture with only two region games remaining for each team after Week 6. Reeltown faces Central Coosa and Vincent in its final two region games of the year.

Honorable mentions for Dadeville’s 2017-18 sports year By LIZI ARBOGAST Sports Editor
During every school year, there are tons of top moments and storylines to choose from. Although the following didn’t make the top five for the Dadeville Tigers, they’re still worth mentioning.
Boys basketball team starts 5-0
For the first few weeks of the season, it seemed like Dadeville’s boys basketball team was unbeatable. Not only did the Tigers win their first five games of the year, only one of them was by fewer than nine points, and they
absolutely dominated in three of the five. Dadeville started off the season with a 79-50 crushing of Holtville and defeated Alabama Christian, 79-55, in its second game of the year. Dadeville was put to the test against Tallassee, but still escaped with a 51-50 win. It then put a beating on Elmore County, 61-45, before taking down rival Reeltown, 55-46. After the holiday break, Dadeville finally met its match, as the Rebels avenged the previous loss and handed the Tigers their first defeat, 70-56.
Dadeville receives grant to resurface track
The Tigers have been quite
successful in track and field over the years, and Dadeville High School has been hoping to resurface its track for some time. That dream started to become a reality when, in November, Tallapoosa County received a grant to resurface the quarter-mile long diverse-use track. “It’s really awesome; it’s beyond words,” Dadeville principal and track coach Chris Hand said. “It’s something that has been dreamed about since I started back in 2000 when we started the track team. It’s hard to put into words.” Not only will the new track help the student-athletes at Dadeville, but it will also be open for community use.
Anfernee Jennings works into Alabama rotation Since his graduation from Dadeville in 2015, Anfernee Jennings has been working his way up the ranks at the University of Alabama. This year, he gave hometown fans something to cheer about as he became a regular in the linebacker rotation. Jennings played in 11 games this year, recording 20 solo tackles and 21 assisted for a total of 41. He also had six tackles for a loss, which totaled 21 yards, and earned a sack. Jennings also recorded two pass breakouts, four quarterback hurries and a pair of forced fumbles.
Tournament teaches slalom to youngsters By LIZI ARBOGAST Sports Editor
When Kate White was just 7 years old, she began her water ski slalom tournament career right here on Lake Martin. She won first place in the lake’s championship, and from there, she was hooked. Fast forward eight years, and White’s journey has come full circle as she returned to Lake Martin on Saturday to be an instructor at that very same slalom championship. “Russell Marines has sponsored me and helped me out a lot with (slalom),” White said. “They were telling me about this clinic, which I first started at many years ago, so of course I said, ‘Yes, I will come help out with this.’” White and Peyton Phillips, who grew up on Lake Martin and now competes for the University of Alabama, conducted a clinic Friday afternoon then the event let the youngsters get on the water for a tournament championship Saturday morning. “It’s very fun,” White said. “And it helps younger kids that haven’t had tournament experience and that stress, it helps them not be stressed. They can come out here and get used to the tournament environment, but they get to have fun and have a stress-free day while they’re at it.” More than 15 skiers of all different ages came from around the state to participate in the weekend clinic and tournament. “We had people from all walks of life and all ages, and everybody had a blast,” River North Marina manager Doug Hamrick said. “From a Russell Lands standpoint, we’re always doing something to promote Lake Martin, and this brings people out to the lake. There were several boats out here watching this morning, so it was good to see the interest.” Awards were given in four different

categories. Winning the girls race was Emma Nikolic, and Jake White took first in the boys race. Barb Kazmierczak won the women’s event, and Tim White captured the title in the men’s event. But more important than the tournament itself was Phillips’ and Kate White’s teaching of water ski slalom to the youngsters. “I love teaching kids,” Phillips said. “They’re willing to listen and they want to put it in practice. The smile on their face whenever they figure it out and get a (personal best), that’s my favorite part.” White said, “It’s very important to me because you want to see the sport grow and these kids are the ones that are going to do it. When you’re coaching them and helping them
and seeing them have so much fun, it means so much to you because you’re like, ‘That was me when I was younger.’ Seeing them enjoy it means everything.” Although water ski slalom comes with its challenges and dangers, White knows how to work well with the youngsters being that she was once in their shoes. “Sometimes they do get scared, but you just have to comfort them and usually they’re right up and back to normal,” she said. “I’ve been through it, so I know what to say. If you have the right teacher and the right boat driver, you’re up. There are small, little things getting through the course that can be difficult when you’re getting started, but once you get the hang of it, you’re just going.”

Get kids moving during summer
W
ith summer comes heat, and with heat comes a sense of wanting to be lazy. Getting out in the sweltering heat during these dog days of summer can be a challenge for anyone. Even though I’ve been in Alabama for a year, I still am getting used to this humid heat, the kind of heat where as soon as you step out your door, you’re sweaty. It seems so much easier to just stay indoors. But part of being a good athlete, or just a healthy individual in general, is not always doing what’s easy. Look at these football players, most of whom have taken to summer workouts and are busting their butts despite temperatures pushing three digits. I’m sure they’re not saying, “This is easy.” But they are definitely saying, “This is what we have to do to be our best selves come the fall.” With football season starting a week earlier and official practice kicking off the first week of August, this is going to be good preparation because it’s not going to be much cooler come Week 1. But the thing about football players — as well as volleyball players and athletes training for the upcoming cross country season — is they’re practically required to participate in summer workouts. Younger kids and those who aren’t athletes don’t have to beat the heat; they can just stay inside. I would urge parents, though, to be careful about letting that happen. I’ve been doing a lot of studying about exercising and being a healthier individual with my goal of running a 5K by the end of the year still in mind. Although I’m still considered young, it’s amazing how much slower your metabolism is as you age, and what’s even more incredible is how much harder it is to get outside and get moving as the years go by. It’s like learning a new language. It’s proven the younger you are when you learn a language, the easier it is. That’s how it is with any habit or skill — the younger it’s drilled into your head, the more likely you are to keep it going throughout your life. That’s why it’s so important for parents to instill a healthy lifestyle into their children. Instead of allowing your kids to sit at home and watch TV or play video games all day, have them do something active. Tell them to go outside and play basketball at the park or even host a game of tag with other kids in the neighborhood. This teaches them at a young age the importance of staying active. And the good news is, there’s plenty of opportunities for young people in the community. Bridge Builders is football focused, but is an inexpensive chance for kids to learn from some of the best players in our area. If that’s not your style, head out to Dadeville every Monday and Tuesday night for the third annual sports camp, which has integrated plenty of different sports and, best of all, it’s free. Even just taking your kids to the pool for a day, or having them go with an older sibling, is better than them staying cooped up all day. Believe me, I know it’s not easy, especially when that sun is beating down and your air conditioning is calling, but life isn’t always easy, and it’s best to learn that before it’s too late.

12th annual rodeo a huge success for Boys & Girls Club By DONALD CAMPBELL Staff Writer
The arena at the Alexander City Sportplex was a busy place over the weekend as the 12th annual Lake Martin Area Rodeo to benefit the Boys & Girls Club of the Lake Martin Area was in town. “It was a great rodeo this year,” Boys & Girls Club Executive Director Melissa Reynolds said. “There was a very good atmosphere. The attendance was much larger than it was last year. We estimated that we had over 1,500 people in attendance.” There were plenty of exciting events on display for the audience, including calf roping, barrel racing and bareback riding. There were also activities for the entire family, such as a children’s area, a rock climbing wall, a petting zoo, a boot shuffle and much more. A handful of vendors were available with food and other items like jewelry. “We added more events for the kids at this year’s rodeo, including a greased pig chase,” Reynolds said. “Saturday night, we featured local singer Tyler Meadows from New Site.” With the success of these new events, including having around 10 children each night chasing after the greased pig, Reynolds said they would continue to remain a part of the rodeo program. “Everyone said they were having a good time and couldn’t wait for next year’s event,” she said. “I didn’t hear a single complaint at all over the weekend.” As the Lake Martin Area Rodeo is an event sanctioned by the National Cowboy Pro Rodeo Association, the nearly 50 competitors involved in this past weekend’s rodeo had the chance to gain ground in the association standings in order to reach the NCPRA finals held at the end of November in Huntsville. Some of the winners will also be heading to Oklahoma in the near future to take part in a national rodeo contest, according to Reynolds. Along with the entertainment provided, the rodeo also served as a fundraiser for the Boys & Girls Club. During the 2018 event, Reynolds said more money than ever before had come in for the organization. “We received $22,784 from the rodeo,” she said. “This was a really good return. It was the best ever return we have gotten.” All in all, the 12th annual Lake Martin Area Rodeo was a big success for the local Boys & Girls Club, raising valuable funds for the organization while also providing entertainment for the entire family. “We are very pleased with how it turned out,” Reynolds said. “It’s a lot of work, but it’s well worth it to see the smiles on everyone’s faces.”

office, The Kaiser Family Foundation released a study in March that reviewed numerous studies on the cost and healthcare effects on states that expanded Medicaid programs. The study generally found healthcare coverage increases with fewer uninsured residents. Jones said preliminary numbers show no increase in state spending for Medicaid. But so far, there was less data on a significant issue – expected growing state costs when federal reimbursements shrunk from 100 percent down to 90 percent. Jones said that should come soon. Jones is also co-sponsoring a bill from U.S. Sen. Tim Kaine, D-Va., that would give states that expand their Medicaid programs three years of full federal funding just like back in 2014. Jones’ office described the bill in a news release. “This means that a state like Alabama
would receive the same funding deal from the federal government if it expanded Medicaid today as a state that took the deal before 2014,” the release states. “Under current law, states that expand Medicaid after 2014 receive lower federal matching rates.” State officials have opposed expansion of Medicaid, so getting a reversal of that stance would have to happen first. State lawmakers have used reduced federal aid over time and an expected increased cost to the state as their reason for failure to expand the program. Jones says seeing the numbers may help change the opinion of lawmakers and the public. He has seen that start to happen in other states already. “While the final decision still rests with leaders in the state, I’ll continue to advocate for expansion,” Jones said. “It’s a smart thing to do for our state budget, but it’s also just the right and moral thing to do for Alabamians.”

Judge Steve Perryman denied the hardship, so, technically the suit was never filed in 2016. “The 2016 filing was never recognized

I will issue a ruling at the first of next week.”

Gov. Ivey, Maddox speak out against Trump’s auto tariff plan By MITCH SNEED Editor
Monday Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey joined the chorus of highranking elected officials who are calling on President Donald Trump to reconsider his stance on a proposed 25-percent tariff on imported cars, trucks and auto parts. Alabama Department of Labor statistics show that an estimated 40,000 Ivey people in Alabama were employed in the automotive industry last year, many working in parts suppliers that are scattered all over the state, including several here in Tallapoosa County. Those jobs, when combined with those at plants that assemble Hyundai, Mercedes-Benz, Toyota and Kia vehicles, the state’s autorelated exports last year alone reached $10.9 billion, according to a release from Ivey’s office. Ivey pointed out that the auto industry accounted for a major portion of the state’s $21.7 billion export total.
“Alabama has a rich history as a leader in manufacturing, a legacy which continues in large part, through our five automotive original equipment manufacturers and our over 200 supporting suppliers that have helped establish ‘Made in Alabama’ as an internationally-respected brand,” Ivey said in a released statement. “Last year proved to be a banner year for auto industry growth in Alabama, with nearly $3 billion in automotiverelated investments. Before the recent announcement of a new Mazda-Toyota plant, and other automotive-related growth, more than 57,000 Alabamians were already employed by our auto manufacturing sector, a number which is expected to increase. However, this growth could be stymied if tariffs are imposed on the goods we export around the world.” Earlier this month, Alabama U.S. Sen. Doug Jones said that with so many vehicles being made here, it may appear that the tariff would not have that much an impact. But Jones pointed out that while vehicles are assembled here, many of the parts come from overseas and that would mean added expenses to the company that
would be passed on to the consumers. When Trump announced the proposed tariff on June 4, he called it a national security issue. Jones said that was hard to believe. Jones admitted that he been reluctant to be critical of the administration, but in this case, he said “the sense I’m getting is one of bewilderment.” He said this move is in direct contrast to the president’s stated mission to support the growth of manufacturing. Ivey, a Republican like Trump, said the damage could be heavy to Alabama. “Import tariffs, and any retaliatory tariffs on American made goods, will harm Alabama, the companies that have invested billions of dollars in our state, and the thousands of households which are dependent upon those companies for a good-paying job,” Ivey said. “I strongly oppose any efforts that may harm those companies that employ thousands of Alabamians and contribute billions to our economy. “I am committed to protecting Alabama jobs and consumers, the world over, who are proud to purchase products made in Alabama.”

No one stands to lose more than the Tuscaloosa area where Mercedes has a massive plant. Ivey’s gubernatorial opponent and Tuscaloosa Mayor Walt Maddox said President Trump intention and policy don’t mesh. “While I certainly understand the president’s perspective and his desire to protect American industry, I think there has to be a pathway where American products can be protected without causing a crippling impact like our state would suffer if these tariffs are put in place,” Maddox said. “We have worked hard, not only in Tuscaloosa, but all across this state to rebuild an economy that was devastated with the loss of textile jobs and what this would cost our state jobs, just like the ones that more than 40,000 Alabamians enjoy now in assembly plants and parts suppliers now. “The president needs to see the faces behind those jobs. These are people who are providing for their families and paying their mortgages through jobs at places like Mercedes and others all across he state. I hope he would consider them rather than imposing tariffs that would have an impact that is opposite to what he had in mind.”
