Sunday sales, Blue Creek development discussed By Mitch Sneed Record Editor

A potential new residential development that will include some commercial space in the Blue Creek area was introduced to the Tallapoosa County Board of Commissioners Tuesday. In addition to the news of planned “affordable lake homes,” the commissioners also got a status report on the steps required to make Sunday alcohol sales possible in the county at the regular October meeting which was pushed back a day due to Columbus Day.

County commissioners also vote to give free space to ABC officers Jody Bear and Ray Roten of Cypress Development addressed the commission about their plans to build “smaller, cabin-type, permanent units with high-end landscaping.” The homes, as well as some commercial lots, will be situated on the northeast side of the Blue Creek Bridge. The preliminary plat called the development The Harbor at Blue Creek. The homes will be one-bedroom units that Bear said would offer “affordable

lake living.” Work could begin on the site within the next two months, Roten said. “It sounds good to me,” Commissioner Emma Jean Thweatt said. “It sounds like they’ve done their preliminary work and it’s not going to cost us anything.” County Attorney Thomas Radney said he has studied the commissioners options for exploring Sunday alcohol sales. He said that it would first be up to the commissioners to pass a resolution

AG issues statement on Dadeville gun law complaints By Mitch Sneed Outlook Editor

The Alabama Attorney General’s office investigated two complaints concerning possible unlawful prohibitions of firearms by a school and two public parks in Dadeville. Thursday Attorney General Luther Strange released information of his findings, saying Councill Middle School had the right under state law to ban guns, while McKelvey Park and Creation Plantation Park failed to comply with state law by erecting signs banning firearms. In the case of signage at the parks banning firearms, a call to the city attorney appeared to address the problem. “After the Attorney General communicated with the city attorney, the City of Dadeville removed the signs prohibiting weapons from both parks,” according to a released statement. “Because the signs are removed, the Attorney General will not file suit.” See GUNS, Page A7

The Dadeville City Council changed the time for this year’s Trick or Treat. “I think for safety reasons, we need to wait till 6 p.m. to start trick or treat,” Dadeville Police Chief David Barbour explained to the council. “That way it will allow for those that want to get away from town before things start to do so.” The council voted to move the start time to 6 p.m. and keep the end at 8 p.m. for Friday Oct. 30. “It has always been two hours for as long as I can remember,” Council member Frank Goodman said. Building Inspector Michael Richardson brought to the council’s attention the need to create a board of adjustment along with planning and zoning, as currently, when he denies a building permit or planning and zoning denies something there is little that can be done to appeal except through the courts.

Wind Creek set for this weekend’s Fall Festival By Corey Arwood Record Staff Writer

The annual fall carnival at Wind Creek State Park is coming up and will include two days of Halloweenthemed activities for all ages. This is the 10th year of the festival at the park and according to park officials there will be enough new activities and entertainment to make this carnival stand out significantly from last year’s. To kick off the festivities on Friday, Oct. 16., there will be a pumpkin carving contest from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m., followed by an outdoor movie shown at 7 p.m. The next day a 5K fun-run starting at 9:30 a.m. will precede the carnival event set to begin at 12:30 p.m. With games, activities and prizes, Gerald Martin, Wind Creek officer and park manager, said it is the main attraction and heart of the fall festival. New to the festival this year, the “March of Monsters” costume parade will begin at 4:30 p.m. in the campground playground. From 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. there will be campsite trick-or-treating. To conclude the two-day’s worth of festivities Martin said that at 7 p.m. a haunted hayride will take passengers through the park to see all manner of monsters, ghosts and

ghouls alurk. “It’s our way of giving back and showing appreciation to campers and customers,” Martin said. The event has grown exponentially over its 10 years, according to Martin. This is his 17th year at the park and ninth time coordinating the fall carnival. Initially the event’s humble beginnings saw a turnout of around 60 visitors and took park staff only about an hour to construct, Martin said. Now it is a massive undertaking on the part of the staff and volunteers, taking about a week and a half to construct, with a turnout last year of approximately two-thousand,

according to Martin. He said it is also a fun time of year time for staff and the park’s volunteer base and that without their support the festival would not possible. There will be a big difference in this year’s festival compared to last year’s, Martin said. Along with the “March of Monsters,” he said there will be new scenes in the hayride, different games and props for the carnival. The event is free to the campers. Otherwise, there will be an entrance fee of $4 for adults and $1 for children and seniors. Pets are allowed as long as they are on a six-foot leash.

Tech Center cuts ribbon on electronics and automation program By Corey Arwood

COOL DOWN WITH GOURMET OVERALL POPS

Record Staff Writer

A ribbon cutting ceremony was held at Camp Hill’s Edward Bell Career Technical Center for new programs that school officials say will give students a competitive edge straight out of high school at higher wages in area jobs. Both new and upgraded programs offered at the center were showcased at Tuesday’s open house ceremony, but the ribbon cutting earlier that day was focused on the installment of the school’s Industrial Electronics and Automation Program. A member of the Alabama State Board of Education, Ella Bell, district 5 representative, was selected to perform the ribbon cutting. Also present at the ceremony were Representative Mark Tuggle, and Joseph Windle, superintendent of the Tallapoosa County Board of Education, along with several of Bell’s family members. After the ceremony a who’s-who of local leaders were guided by Gerry Moses, director of career and technical education for Tallapoosa County Schools, on a tour of the facilities, where they viewed several students in action at the new equipment. The program was the result of about two years planning and a

state grant of $350,000, and Moses said that in total there is now about $400,000 worth of industrial maintenance equipment for students to train on. Through Moses’ state proposal of the school’s desired program and how it would meet business and industry needs, Camp Hill was chosen to receive the funds over its competition in other areas throughout the state. It is available to EBH juniors and seniors and according to Moses, after two years in the program stu-

dents should be able to graduate prepared for high-paying jobs in the area. Moses said that there is a demanding market for local jobs in industrial maintenance, robotics, or anything tied to the automotive industry and that EBCTC’s new program and equipment mirrors the machinery at use in those industries. The equipment was installed over the summer and Moses said that so far into its first year he has seen a strong reception among the students in the program.

It’s time to allow VictoryLand to reopen

wo weeks ago, Montgomery Circuit Judge William Shashy ruled that the state must return 1,615 electronic bingo machines and $263,000 seized from Milton McGregor’s VictoryLand Casino in 2013 within 45 days. Conventional wisdom would be that the door would be open for the Shorter-based operation to reopen. While VictoryLand is gearing up and taking applications, Attorney General Luther Strange has filed an intent to appeal. Is that what the people of Alabama want? Not hardly. While Strange still maintains that electronic bingo is illegal in Alabama, similar operations in Montgomery, Wetumpka and Greene County still operate. Proponents disagree with Strange, saying no one has ever been prosecuted for breaking the law for allowing electronic bingo. What it boils down to is that VictoryLand does’t appear to have been treated fairly, according to judge Shashy. In June, Shashy dismissed the State of Alabama’s civil forfeiture case against VictoryLand. “While electronic bingo operations at VictoryLand remain shuttered, today, both Tribal and non-Tribal facilities within the State of Alabama continue to operate the same type of electronic bingo game,” the ruling stated. “The State could not and did not offer any substantive reason why it permitted this state of affairs to continue at other facilities, while taking its present stance against the same operations at VictoryLand. The propriety of the State of Alabama electing to currently pursue action against only one facility is of great concern. It is apparent at the present time that the State of Alabama is cherrypicking which facilities should remain open or closed. This court refuses to be used as an instrument to perpetuate unfair treatment.” When VictoryLand closed nearly 2,500 people lost their jobs and Macon County lost a business that had supplied upwards of $300 million to the local economy over the length of time it was open. Through long and protracted battles with McGregor and VictoryLand and others, as well as battles with the Poarch Creek Indians, our state has spent millions, seemingly going from court to court desperately looking for a win. These battles cost money and, quite frankly, are a waste of the court’s time. If electronic bingo is legal in Alabama, as the constitution seems to indicate, then it’s time to allow VictoryLand to reopen. Let’s put people back to work and tax the stew out of the place and allow the state to make some money, too. Maybe then we can reopen the drivers’ license offices and get this state back to where it needs to be.

Editorial Our Remembering a life with words from the heart Mission

’m often thankful that I’m a member of the Episcopal Church. I’m what they call a “cradle Episcopalian,” which means I was born into the church, I was baptized, confirmed, married in the church and someday I’ll be buried with the liturgy of the dead in the Episcopal Church. I’m not a cradle Tallapoosa Countian – I moved here in 1989 and there are still some folks that I’m trying to impress so I can get “full hometown status.” But I am a cradle Episcopalian, which gets me at least one gold star and a measure of clout in some circles. One of the times I’m most grateful of my church heritage is during an Episcopal funeral. And even though I’ve been an Episcopalian all my life, I think I can say “The Episcopal Church gets funerals right” with some confidence. I thought that several times Thursday, when St. James’ Episcopal Church packed into our sanctuary – standing room only – for Charlene Bates’ funeral. Charlene was a long-time member of our church. I don’t know if she was a cradle Episcopalian, but I know she was attending St. James’ before I came to town. Charlene taught 37 years in the Alexander City School system, and she was an important figure for generations of Alexander City residents. Charlene and her children Megann and Andrew lived on Dobbs Road; our first house

KENNETH BOONE Publisher

was on Lavista Road, so we shared a church and a neighborhood. Megann was one of the baby-sitters who looked after our children. Our families grew up together, but as all families do, we moved, our children got older and left Alexander City and we hadn’t spent much time outside of the church with Charlene and her family in recent years. If you ask me, a good funeral has a number of characteristics. It’s meaningful, poignant, sad and joyful. It’s a time for mourning, a time to comfort each other, to renew friendships and share love, a time to celebrate a life on this Earth and a time to be thankful for resurrection. Charlene’s funeral was all that and more. I cried. I laughed. I felt my heart swell in my chest. And the Episcopal liturgy provided a time for all that. Bobby Boone and the St. James Choir and soloist Carolyn Walsh did a beautiful job with the music, from traditional hymns like Amazing Grace and Lift High The Cross to more modern praise music like Seek Ye First and Alleluia Medley, which includes some of the verses we all learned as tiny children: “Jesus loves me, this I know …”

David Cain, Charlene’s son-in-law, did a superb job reflecting on her life on behalf of the family. He told funny, insightful, heart-warming stories about first meeting his mother-in-law by escorting her to a wedding where Megann was a bridesmaid. He said they “cut the rug” during the reception; when Megann asked Charlene how she liked her boyfriend, Charlene said, “It was love at first sight.” It’s not often that a relative’s comments at a funeral get an ovation, but David Cain got a well-deserved round of applause Thursday at St. James’ Episcopal Church. After I had communion at the altar, I walked over and hugged Megann, who was sitting on the front pew. It was a long, memorable hug. And I whispered in her ear, “It’s a good day.” I don’t know why I said it. It wasn’t planned. And when I got back to my pew, I briefly thought that might not be an appropriate thing to say to a loving daughter during her mother’s funeral. But the more I considered it, the more I realized it was exactly the right thing to say. It was from the heart and it paid tribute to her husband’s wonderful comments, to the scores of people who came to say goodbye to their friend and teacher, to the end of Charlene’s suffering from cancer and to the next phase of her existence. It was a good day indeed. Boone is publisher of The Outook.

The best, worst flight ever

ast week, I flew nonstop from Atlanta to Korea to entertain the troops. The flight itself was 15 hours, so I spent close to 16 hours on the plane. It’s the longest flight I’ve ever been on. It was the best worst flight ever. The night before my flight, I found myself at a local urgent care. To keep this article out of the “too much information” category, I wasn’t feeling well and didn’t want to not feel well at 38,000 feet for any period of time, much less 15 hours. Fortunately, I felt much better later that night after taking the prescribed medication. The next morning, I felt like a million bucks. I felt great. Apparently the meds and the recommended BRAT diet consisting of Bananas, Rice, Applesauce, and Toast worked. Normally, my BRAT diet is more like Beer, Ribs, And Tacos. I was wearing my Auburn attire when I went to check in at the airport. “Roll Tide,” yelled the lady from behind the counter. From there, my day only got worse as the nausea resurfaced. I felt that I needed something light in my stomach, so I ordered a bowl of wonton soup. As I sat down to eat, the nausea intensified. Moreover, the soup was too hot to eat, so I put it back in

the bag and went to my gate. By now, I was feeling miserable and was on the verge on leaving the airport. To make matters worse, I was assigned a middle seat. I blame that on the Bama fan. The thought of sitting in a middle seat and being sick for 15 hours almost made me leave the airport, even after boarding the plane. I nodded and smiled as a sweet little Korean lady sat next me. After telling me that she didn’t speak English, I patted her on the arm and smiled. Secretly, I was ecstatic to hear this. I was miserable and didn’t feel like talking to anyone. Not too long into the flight, I broke out my soup. Two minutes later, the flight attendant walked by and told me I was not allowed to have my own food in the cabin. That was another bummer. Lunch was served shortly thereafter. It was good and even came with a serving of rice. The only problem is that I was in the middle seat and looked like a Tyrannosaurus rex trying to eat without elbowing my neighbors.

Shortly before landing, I began to feel better, although I got very little sleep. The flight was smooth and uneventful. My stomach was grateful. The passengers were incredibly quiet and cordial, while the crew was very nice and helpful. The window seat was occupied by a man that didn’t get out of his seat one time for the duration of the trip. I just don’t know how he did it. I got up a half dozen times. The old lady was really sweet. We patted each other on the arm and smiled often. This was a universal language of love and respect in my mind. Once I arrived in Korea, I was fine, albeit tired. The old lady even gave me a hug before we parted ways. We had our first show the next night, which was a phenomenal show in every way. It made the trials and tribulations of the trip more than worthwhile, and we have nine shows left. Sometimes life is unpleasant, but it’s usually just temporary. Hang in there. The destination is often worth the struggle of the journey. Jody Fuller is a comic, speaker, writer and soldier with three tours of duty in Iraq. He is also a lifetime stutterer.

don’t think that I can make it.’ And he couldn’t make it because we had dirt roads. And the operator said, ‘Oh, you can make it if you just go up by so and so.’” The village featured twoand three-bedroom houses. Families without children or with a single child lived in the two-bedrooms. Families with two or more children lived in the three-bedrooms. Cole was born in one of the two-bedroom village homes in 1936 and lived there through World War II until she left for college (Jacksonville State) in 1952. “My father, when had and my mother married, he was at Upper Tallassee, which is what we called Yates Dam,” Cole said. “He went into work one day and the superintendent told him, ‘You are to report to Martin Dam Monday morning.’ And my Daddy said, ‘I’m not going.’ The superintendent said, ‘You don’t understand. You’ll go or you don’t have a job.’ So he said, ‘I’ll go, but I’ll stay only until I can opt out,’ which would have been six months. He stayed 42 years.” During the Cole family’s time in the village, Martin Dam was probably at its pinnacle as a power supplier for the eastern coast of the United States. The fact the dam was so important to the country’s electrical supply, didn’t necessarily bode well for the people of the village during the war years, Cole said. “When I was 5 (1941), we were told one day that we were to gather down at the dam,” Cole said. “So all 28 families did. They turned on the lights – the streetlights, the lights on the dam and the lights on the substation – and then they immediately flickered them off. Everything went dark. “We were told that a war submarine had been spotted off the coast in the Atlantic and, as a result, Martin Dam, being the flagship of the

power company, would be dark from that point on, to the end of the war. So, we all had to walk home in the dark. We were issued black shades. You had to put the shades on your windows. You could not open your windows in the summertime until every light was out. No light could shine.” Cole said Martin Dam’s wartime “problem” began to become clearer after the dam’s superintendent’s son, Bobby Dawkins, was killed over Germany. “That sort of set the stage for us to begin to understand that we had a problem,” Cole said. “And why did Martin Dam have a problem? Martin Dam, if you can believe it, was the beginning of the electricity that went up the east coast. When that submarine was spotted, we were told that we were number seven, that if Germany had come over and bombed the United States, Martin Dam would have been the seventh target. Because, if Martin Dam had been knocked out, there would have been no electricity up the east coast for a period of time.” The dam’s importance to the country was such that Thomas Martin, the dam’s namesake and a frequent visitor to the village under any circumstances, began to visit even more frequently to meet the admirals and generals and other high-ranking military officials who would periodically check on those military permanently stationed at the dam. “When we were in this mode of being guarded, we had a company of men stationed at Martin Dam,” Cole said. “The old hospital from when the dam was being built had been converted into barracks. There were some men in the dam, some in village, some out and around the woods surrounding the dam. And the generals and admirals would come by seaplane to visit the men and visit Mr. Martin.”

The Dadeville Record

Cole, having spent her childhood in the village that he was responsible for, clearly developed a love for Martin. “Mr. Martin was a buddy, he was a friend,” Cole said. “He was somebody that we had all the respect in the world for and we loved him. The other dams had villages and had basically the same things that we did, but they didn’t have Mr. Martin.” “When I was 8, Mr. Martin was sitting around one day with the children on the floor telling stories. He told us that he would guarantee us that we would all always have a job. I raised my hand and said, ‘But I don’t want to work at the power company. I want to be a teacher, but I always want to live at Martin Dam.’ He told me, ‘I can’t promise you that you will always be able to live at Martin Dam, but I can promise you that you can always have access.’” Martin wrote Cole a letter to that effect. It’s a letter she still has and still uses. “When I get ready to go to the village, all I have to do is make a call,” Cole said.

Fishing fish of the day as was FBC Dadeville Pastor Gary Wiggins who was helping her reel it in. “The Lord blessed us so that we can bless others,” Wiggins said. “We have this piece of property to use for more than just ourselves.” Wednesday morning about 20 special needs students at Dadeville travelled to the property for a little outdoor fun. “Bro. Gary approached us about a fishing-with-kids day,” Dadeville Elementary School Principal Chad McKelvey said. “Our kids have been excited. I went to their classrooms this morning before we boarded the bus. They were just jumping up and down with excitement.” FBC Music Minister Curt Mize kidded one church member. “I am going to have to turn you in for encouraging kissing with the kids,” Mize told Jim Clark. “Well, you have to kiss your first fish,” Clark said. “That is the

reason you catch more.” And more fish they did catch. McCormick quickly caught her second fish, again with the help of Wiggins. Holland Eaton was joined on the field trip by her parents Heather and Michael Eaton. Holland soon reeled in her first fish too. “We love the outdoors,” Heather said. “She (Holland) loves the outdoors. For them to do

this is just awesome.” The church hopes to be able to something similar for the middle school and high school special needs students in the spring. “We will work on trying to make it happen for the middle school and high school,” Wiggins said. “It has been a great day for the kids,” McKelvey said. “And they get to go home with a fishing rod and reel.”

held.” Commission Chairman Steve Robinson said he would talk with Rep. Mark Tuggle and gauge his preferences and report back to Radney so a resolution can be crafted, possibly in time for the November meeting. After all the state closures of drivers license offices in Tallapoosa County, as well as the planned closure of Alexander City Alabama National Guard Armory, the state has now asked the county to allow Alcohol Beverage Control Board officers to use space at the Courthouse Annex rent free. In the past, the state paid $400 for the space. The commissioners voted 5-0 to donate the space to the state for one year, meaning $4,800 in lost revenue. The commissioners also: • Voted 5-0 to approve the transfer of leave for two separate employees. • Voted 5-0 to approve two contracts for beds at the Lee County Youth Detention Center, one that will be funded by the state’s Department of Youth Services and a second that will be funded by the county. The allocation of funds is budgeted and is an annual expense. • Voted 5-0 to approve an agreement between Tallapoosa County 9-1-1 and the Revenue Commissioners Office that will allow them to share GIS data. Revenue Commissioner Eva Middlebrooks said the agreement will allow her office to get the most current mapping data available and help fix several issues including getting correct addresses that have changed over time. • Voted 5-0 to approve a request of $500 per month or $6,000 per year to help fund an outside consultant that will be used to gather data by the Lake Martin Area Economic Development Alliance. The consultant will be Victoria Horton, a senior director with Altus Group who leads the firm’s national site selection and incentives practice. • Voted 5-0 to approve the appointment of Vickie Florin to an at-large seat on the board of the Lake Martin Area Economic Development Alliance. • Voted 5-0 to approve changes to the retiree health insurance plan. • Voted 5-0 to approve a job description for a newly created position which merges two positions. The job will be called a map room supervisor and will be a grade 12 position. • Announced that the courthouse will be closed on Nov. 11 in observance of Veterans’ Day.

Guns Dadeville City Clerk Mike Gardner confirmed the action Thursday. “Chief David Barbour is handling the removal of the signs,” Gardner said. Regarding a complaint received about signs prohibiting guns at Councill Middle School, Strange’s office announced that the Tallapoosa County Board of Education was within its legal rights. “The Attorney General’s Office reviewed a complaint that Councill Middle School, also in Dadeville, was in violation of Alabama law by posting signs prohibiting weapons,” the release stated. “Because the Tallapoosa County Board of Education has authority under Ala. Code § 16-124.1 to prohibit weapons, the Attorney General will not file suit.” The AG’s office also investigated a complaint from Brantley School in Crenshaw County. “The Attorney General’s Office reviewed a complaint that Brantley School was in violation of Alabama law by posting signs prohibiting firearms, and suspending petitioner from school functions and property for violating the no firearms policy. Because the Crenshaw County Board of Education has authority under Ala.

The Dadeville Record

Council The council after discussion with town attorney Robin Reynolds decided not sign a letter for an insurance company that insures First Baptist Church of Dadeville that wanted the city to allow the church to close a portion of a street between the church and a playground when the playground was in use. The council is going to allow the public works department to paint a crosswalk and install pedestrian warning signs near the cross walk. C o u n c i l m a n Goodman commended city workers and first responders for their efforts in helping with clearing the streets and working on water problems over the weekend. Nothing was discussed about the possible ordinance on sagging pants. The Dadeville City Council also: • heard about storm drain issues on East South Street. • scheduled a meeting with the county and DHR to see what needs to be done for easements to get to the property the city of Dadeville is trying to transfer to the county for the new DHR building. • heard from Chief Barbour that he has found a replacement for a police officer who left. • heard from Chief Barbour about his purchase of ammunition for the department. • heard from library director Abbi Mangarelli about the

WIN OR GO HOME

Lady Tigers head to ECHS for area tournament Tigers, Panthers meet with playoff spot at stake By Robert Hudson

By Robert Hudson

Record Sports Editor

The Dadeville Lady Tigers volleyball team will look to keep their season going when it enters its area tournament on Tuesday. Dadeville (7-6) will travel to Elmore County High School on Tuesday for the Class 4-Area 5 volleyball tournament. The top two finishers in the three-team area that also includes ECHS and Holtville will move on to Montgomery for the regional tournament. Dadeville will open up with Holtville at 5 p.m. on Tuesday. “We’ve got an uphill battle because we’re third in the area,” said DHS volleyball Coach Magan Ford. “So, we’re having to play Holtville at 5 p.m. on Tuesday. Then, we have to beat them to make it to regionals. We have the ability, it’s just that we have to stay consistent instead of being the rollercoaster team we’ve been all year.” Ford said the Lady Tigers have displayed great potential during their wins, but will have to become more consistent to continue the season on to Montgomery. “Our seven wins have been amazing and we’ve looked like we’re unstoppable when we’ve got it all together,” Ford said. “But we have the problem of not being able to stop the bleeding when things don’t go our way. They’re kind of weak in that aspect, so we have to have a few girls step up and stop the bleeding so we can have success consistently.” Ford said a pair of seniors has led the way for the Lady Tigers on the court this season so far. “Hallie Cox and De’Shana Johnson have been excellent seniors for us,” Ford said. “Each has averaged about 10 and 12 kills a game for us, so they’re doing a great job.” And with this being Ford’s first season at the helm, she said she has been proud of the girls and how they have taken on the new program. “The girls have done an amazing job at buying into what we’re selling,” Ford said. “We completely changed their rotation on the court, so they’ve had to learn an entirely new rotation. They’ve done an amazing job with that, and their attitudes have stayed positive through the entire thing. As a whole, for our first season in this new program, it’s been pretty good. I’m proud of them.”

There are still two region games left in the season, but Friday will be a win-or-go-home situation in Dadeville. The Dadeville Tigers (3-4, 2-2 in Class 4A-Region 3) will host the Elmore County Panthers (4-3, 2-2 in Class 4A-Region 3) on Friday at 7 p.m. With both teams currently tied for the fourth and final playoff spot in the region, Dadeville Coach Richard White said there is little room for error. “The winner of this game goes to playoffs. The loser of this game is probably going to be at home,” White said. “We still have a region game with Handley after this one where we’d have to win if we lose this one. But even then, Elmore County would likely win the tiebreaker. The most important thing is this game right here.” Both teams are trying to recover from region losses: Dadeville, a 59-0 road loss to top-ten ranked Leeds, and Elmore County a 35-7 home loss to Handley. For Dadeville, Friday’s loss was the third-straight defeat. Despite that fact, White said the Tigers have been staying positive and working in new players to adjust to some injuries that have plagued them during the run of losses. “They’ve been fine. We’ve had a run of bad luck with injuries here, but that happens with football teams,” White said. “Some other kids have just got to step up and step in. You can’t get so simple in what you do that you’re vanilla in everything. What we do has never been complicated, but we’ve got a couple new guys in there that are getting used to moving around.” Elmore County will bring a

spread attack with a lot of mobility under center to Friday’s game. White said the Tigers have been working on containing the quarterback and controlling the edges all week in practices. “We’ve just got to contain the quarterback. We’ve got to keep him in the pocket,” White said. “And when he does roll out, we’ve got to force pressure from the outside. Our secondary has to be in the right places. That’s what we’ve been doing here today (Wednesday practice). At times we do it right, at times we don’t. It’s like we get lost a couple times, but the main thing is keeping them contained and not letting them get on the edge.” And while the offense has

struggled for Dadeville as of late, White said he is confident that if the Tigers establish the run and played solid defense the Tigers could walk away with the win. “We’ve got to play good defense. That’s going to be the key,” White said. “Offensively, we’re still struggling at times, but we have to move the ball as well. If we have to throw short passes, that’s what we’re going to do. But I’m hoping our running game will get going where we can run some clock and score a few touchdowns. Then, if we play good enough defense, I feel like we can win. But if our defense is getting knocked off the football and our offense is sputtering, it’s going to be a long night.”

Tigers fall to Leeds in region contest By Drew Champlin AL.com

LEEDS – Tre Nation ran for 135 yards and three touchdowns, setting a Leeds school record for career rushing yards as the Green Wave crushed visiting Dadeville 59-0. Nation, who had no idea he was close to the record until he was informed, needed 124 to surpass Robert Williams, who had 6,126 coming in. He was recognized in the third quarter Kenneth Boone / The Record after breaking the record. He scored on touchdowns of Dadeville’s Josh Crayton breaks up the field during Friday night’s 59-0 18, 33 and 2 yards. road loss to Leeds. Friday’s loss was the third straight for Dadeville. “It was a great win,” Nation

said. “The team came out here and executed plays. The line blocked a real good game.” This was Leeds’ fifth straight win since starting out 1-2, and Dadeville’s third straight loss after losing star quarterback Shawn Jennings to a knee injury on Sept. 25. “I thought we played well,” Leeds coach Keith Etheredge said. “We took care of the football and that was big. We caused some turnovers and I think that hurt them. It made it look worse than it probably was.” Tadarryl Marshall had a 5-yard touchdown run and

threw a 38-yard touchdown pass to Toren Pollard. Pollard scored on a 9-yard run. Leeds got two defensive touchdowns within 24 seconds of each other late in the first half to take a 49-0 lead into the break. Koi Freeman had an 18-yard interception return and Arthur Patton scored on a 15-yard fumble return. The fumble was caused by Josephus Smith. Morgan Coston kicked eight extra points and hit a 35-yard field goal for Leeds. Leeds is at Childersburg next week while Dadeville hosts Elmore County.

Rebels blast Woodland for homecoming, region victory By David Granger Record Staff Writer

REELTOWN – With all the old grads in town for homecoming, Reeltown head coach Jackie O’Neal turned to an offensive youth movement to help lift the Rebels to a 31-6 Class 2A-Region 5 win over the Woodland Bobcats here at NixWebster-O’Neal Stadium on Friday night. Freshman quarterback Joseph Davis completed 11-of-14 passes for 195 yards and a touchdown and freshman running back Tray Hughley carried 18 times for 81 yards and two touchdowns to lead Reeltown (4-3 and 2-2 in the region) past the Bobcats (1-6 and 0-4 in the region). O’Neal said the move to the freshmen to lead the offensive attack was in part due to injuries, but was also intended as a wake-up call to some of his upperclassmen. “Injuries necessitated some of it,” O’Neal said. “Some of it, we just had to get a little jumpstart. We got more out of those guys than we’ve been getting out of the older guys. Sometimes you have to do some things to shake it up a little and get people to understand that if they don’t perform like they’re capable of performing,

then they’re not going to be on the field. “It was probably a fifty-fifty thing. We had a lot of injuries. I was able to hold my running back (Cody Martin) out. He probably played about six plays the whole game. He was kind of hampered a little. We need to get back full speed because it’s not going to get any easier. We’ve got Randolph County next week and the week after that we’ve got Lanett.” Early on it looked like it could be a long night for the Rebels as Woodland penetrated to the Reeltown 7 in 13 plays on its first possession. But Ra Jerrian Wright’s sack of Bobcat quarterback Clayton Gay eight yards behind the line of scrimmage on fourth-and-goal forced Woodland to turn the ball over on downs at the Rebels’ 15. The Rebels responded with an 11-play 85-yard scoring drive with all but three yards accounted for by the running and passing of Hughley and Davis. Hughley scored the touchdown on a 14-yard scamper around left end and Kiyaski Taylor’s extra point gave Reeltown a 7-0 lead with 1:31 left in the first quarter. Reeltown’s second score was set up by one of three bad exchanges on the night between Gay and his running backs,

the Rebels recovering all three resulting fumbles. Randy Woodyard fell on the first one for Reeltown at the Woodland 47. The Rebels possessed the ball for 11 plays, but finally were forced to settle for a 23-yard Taylor field goal and a 10-0 lead with 2:55 left in the half. After Clayton Gay and running back Axson Gay suffered yet another bad exchange at the Reeltown 33, Zac Thomas made the recovery for the Rebels, setting up another home team score. Five plays later, Davis hit Markez McCullough with a 20-yard scoring strike with 11 seconds left in the half. Taylor’s kick was again good and Reeltown took a 17-0 lead to intermission. O’Neal said Davis’ youthful inability to understand the magnitude of his role may have been his chief asset on the night. “He played real well tonight,” O’Neal said. “But when you’re a young kid and you’re back there sometimes you don’t even know the magnitude of the ballgame. You just get out there and play and that’s what he was doing. Of course, he’s got a lot of ability and I think he’s going to make a great quarterback down the road.” Woodland’s Gay, on the other hand, didn’t have such good luck. After the

Bobcats had mounted a drive to the Reeltown 30 on their first third-quarter possession, his pass was plucked from the air by the Rebels’ Takoreyon Edwards and returned 90 yards to increase the Reeltown lead to 24-0 after Taylor’s PAT. Woodland head coach Randy Boyd was clearly frustrated with his team’s tendency to turn the ball over in the game. “We shot ourselves in the foot,” said Boyd. “When you do that and you play a good, disciplined football team, you’re not going to recover. Before the game I told them that if we didn’t win the turnover battle, we weren’t going to win the football game. And we lost both the turnover battle and the game.” Reeltown saved its best drive for last, putting together a 79-yard march on 13 plays at the beginning of the game’s final period. The key play was a fourth-and-24 pass from Davis to McCullough from the Woodland 42 to the Bobcats’ 7. Two plays later, Hughley went four yards up the middle of the Woodland defense to cap the night’s scoring. Reeltown travels to Wedowee next Friday night to play region foe Randolph County (6-0 and 3-0 in region play entering Friday night’s contest at LaFayette).

The Dadeville Record

Community says goodbye for now as 214th deploys for third time in war on terror By Cliff Williams Record Staff Writer

The Alabama National Guard 214th held a deployment ceremony Saturday to reassure families friends and soldiers that their service does not go unnoticed and local authorities want the governor to understand these soldiers are fighting for them too while they deploy for the third time in the war on terror. National Guard Command Sergeant Major Eddie Pike knows the sacrifices that the families make. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Families, I know how hard it is to see your soldier go,â&#x20AC;? Pike said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have one in that group, but I also know how proud you are of your soldier. I know you are proud of what the soldier represents freedom.â&#x20AC;? Pike and the 214thâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s commanding officer Capt. Edwin Eiswerth told the families gathered to see off the unitâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s approximately 140 soldiers that there is no need to worry. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I appreciate the sacrifices you are making,â&#x20AC;? Eiswerth said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To the family, relatives and friends, you are making sacrifices as well. We will keep a good eye on your soldier. We have met all of our training requirements. We are going to Bliss and we are going to succeed there too as well.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;You are well-trained,â&#x20AC;? Pike said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You are well-lead, you are ready for this most important mission.â&#x20AC;? Pike went on to explain that this is not new to the 214th. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is not new to you,â&#x20AC;? Pike explained. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is your third deployment in the war on terror.â&#x20AC;?

Families are not the only ones to miss the soldiers of the 214th while they are deployed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have three officers that will be deployed with them,â&#x20AC;? Alexander City Police Chief Willie Robinson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It will be tough. We are having to move some people around to make sure things get covered.â&#x20AC;? The Alexander City Police Department is not the only local agency to have soldiers deployed with the 214th as the Dadeville Police Department has a full-time and reserve officer and the Alexander City Fire Department is losing two people to the deployment. With the 214th deploying to Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, in support of Operation Enduring Freedom, local authorities want the state to rethink placing the Alexander City armory, home of the 214th on the Armory closing list. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The 214th has always made us proud,â&#x20AC;? Alexander City mayor Charles Shaw said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are proud of our soldiers. I am proud to say that the 214th is from Alexander City.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have a fight here at home that we as a community need to stand together and fight for these soldiers,â&#x20AC;? Talllapoosa County commissioner John McKelvey said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The house that they built and represent here in Alexander City is on the list to be closed. I would like to make a request of the governor and this state to look at this situation and think about the impact that it will leave on our friends and families. Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not kick our soldiers our their house while they are fighting so you can keep yours.â&#x20AC;?

Ben Arellano’s sermon was great, with scriptures from the books of Job 23 & Mark 10. Sermon was titled “Questions, questions, questions!” Have you ever noticed that Jesus rarely gave a direct answer to a question? It is true that he answered questions with more questions. Jesus was a Master Teacher. He taught in parables, which made us think more deeply. Come to the First Presbyterian Church & Rev. Ben Arellano will make you welcome. THOUGHT FOR TODAY: I miss being able to slam my phone down when I hang up on somebody!! Violently pressing “End Call” just doesn’t do it for me! Damn technology.

The Dadeville Record

If Shelby retired, who would run?

any of you liked last week’s column detailing our Senior Senator Richard Shelby’s ascent to the U.S. Senate in 1986. Sen. Shelby has represented us in the U.S. Senate admirably for close to three decades now. He has no plans to retire any time soon. Shelby will tell you straight away that he is running for reelection to his 6th six-year term in 2016. Shelby turned 80 last May but he looks 65 and is in good health. He loves being a U.S. Senator and will be easily reelected if indeed he runs again in 2016. However, what if Shelby changed his mind and retired in 2016? The big question mark in Alabama politics is who all would run to succeed Shelby. The answer is everybody and their brother. United States Senate seats do not open up every day. Therefore everybody who is in political office plus everybody who ever won a 4H speaking contest would enter the fray. Who would be the favorite to follow Shelby and try to fill those big shoes? If history is any indication the usual route to an open senate seat over the years and throughout the country is to buy the seat. Those seats are bought by wealthy individuals. The U.S. Senate is often referred to as a millionaire’s club. It costs a lot to run statewide for an open senate seat and lobbyists and special interests groups spend most of their campaign largesse on protecting a known quantity of proven friendly incumbents. A cursory look around the senate will reveal the names of very wealthy

STEVE FLOWERS Columnist

individuals, some who own professional sports teams, a Rockefeller and even movie stars. This scenario could very well play out in Alabama. We love our college football so much you could very well see a famous former Alabama or Auburn football star emerge. For example, Bart Starr in his prime would have been a formidable senate candidate. What if Nick Saban decided he wanted to go to the U.S. Senate? It appears that being from Tuscaloosa is a prerequisite to being elected to high political office these days. What about our current political officeholders? First on most lists is Alabama Attorney General Luther Strange. It is no secret among Big Luther’s friends that his ultimate ambition is to run for the U.S. Senate. He spent the first 20 years of his career in Washington as a corporate lobbyist. He would like to return as a U.S. Senator. The congressional ranks would also be an evident spawning pool for U.S. Senate candidates. However, I recall in my younger years I worked for Congressman Bill Dickinson. Bill served 28 years in Congress and I would periodically ask him if he would ever run for the senate. He would reply, “Steverino, the political graveyard is full of congressman who have tried to move to the Senate.” You see, congressmen

run every two years and if they pull the trigger and gamble on a Senate race they lose their congressional seat. One who would probably take that plunge is newly elected congressman, Bradley Byrne. Bradley has probably looked around his environment as a freshman 60-year-old congressman and realized his limitations in the U.S. House. He would be a formidable candidate for the Senate in 2016. He has run a strong race for governor and built significant statewide name identification. He is attractive and a proven fundraiser and campaigner. Congressman Robert Aderholt would be expected to look seriously at an open Senate seat. He is young and has close to 20 years seniority built up in congress. It is because of his seniority that he may give pause to taking the risk. He has a lot to lose in congressional power. PSC President Twinkle Cavanaugh is also young and would have to consider a once in a lifetime opportunity to go to the U.S. Senate. Even though he is in his late 60’s, former Governor Bob Riley might make the race. Even though he looks older than his 73 years, Governor Robert Bentley may be spryer than he appears. He could make the plunge. After all, he is from Tuscaloosa. See you next week. Steve Flowers is Alabama’s leading political columnist. His weekly column appears in over 60 Alabama newspapers. He served 16 years in the state legislature. Steve may be reached at www. steveflowers.us.
