No arrests in American Legion shooting

By CLIFF WILLIAMS Staff Writer

Law enforcement are still seeking the people they have identified as suspects in a Dadeville shooting that left five injured. “We have not made an arrest yet,” Dadeville Police Chief David Barbour said Tuesday. According to Chief Barbour, officers were called to the American Legion Hall on East Columbus Street in Dadeville at 12:29 a.m. Sunday, Aug. 28 on a report of shots fired and individuals injured. The hall had

Holiday weekend on Lake Martin a safe one By MITCH SNEED Editor

What is widely recognized as the last big weekend of the summer season on Lake Martin was a relatively calm one according the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency’s Marine Patrol Division. According to Marine Patrol Division Lt. Mark Fuller said that traffic on the water over the long Labor Day weekend was lighter than expected, particularly on Friday and Saturday. “Traffic was relatively light on Friday and Saturday due to schools being back in session and football season being under way,” Fuller said. “Sunday was moderately busy as was Monday.” Lighter traffic and high visibility also played a role in reducing the number of incidents encountered by law enforcement of the water.

been rented to individuals for a birthday, Barbour said. Upon arrival officers identified five people who had been injured in the shooting. One victim was taken by LifeFlight to Baptist South in Montgomery. That man was hospitalized for more than a week, but nothing new was known on his condition. The other four victims received non-life-threatening injuries, according to Barbour, and as of Monday had been released from area hospitals. Two had been taken to East Alabama Medical Center, one to Lake Martin Community Hospital and a fourth was treated

at Russell Medical Center in Alexander City. Barbour said two suspects have been developed in this case, but did not release names, but did say that warrants have been obtained. Barbour said that officers from the Tallapoosa County Sheriff’s Department, Camp Hill Police Department and the Jacksons Gap Police Department offered assistance in the case. Barbour said the investigation was ongoing and investigators are following leads and closing in

Things are looking up for Tallapoosa County Schools’ finances thanks to an increase of funding in all areas as the Tallapoosa County Board of Education works on its next budget. “This is one of the best budgets I can ever remember,” Tallapoosa County Board of Education Chief Financial Officer Phil Blasingame said. “This is the best that we have had since at least 2008. It should hold next year, most likely with level funding.” Last year at this time, the system was struggling with declining revenue from the state and were not yet collecting the new 1-cent sales tax. Both federal and state funding is increasing, especially for transportation. An increase of $160,000 for transportation from the state means less local money will be needed to transport students. “We have been putting $200,000 to $250,000 a year of local funds into transportation,” Tommy Thweatt said. “That will free up some local funds.” There is also an increase of $570,000 in federal funds. The board is looking at a budget with total revenues of $28,887,081 with $15,486,276 coming from the state, $3,215,641 from the federal government

Page piles up pushups to shine light on veteran suicide By MITCH SNEED Editor

Mitch Sneed / The Record

Above, Jess Page, right, leads members of the Alexander City Police Department through the #22KILL Challenge Thursday morning to help raise awareness for veteran suicide.

Starting Friday:

Greater – PG Don’t Breathe – R Ben-Hur 3D – PG-13

To say that Alexander City’s Jess Page is pushing hard to raise awareness for veteran suicide prevention would be an understatement. Page, who is the minister at Good News Baptist Church in Jacksons Gap, is working on completing #22KILL Challenge, a nationwide movement that asks people to do pushups in honor of veterans and to raise awareness for the growing problem of suicide from those who have served our country. The national movement began in 2013 after the Veterans Administration released stats that showed that an average of 22

veterans commit suicide every day. “My daughter challenged me to do it and at first I didn’t even know if I could still do 22 pushups, let alone do 22 for 22 days in a row,” Page said. “The more I read about it and how it was helping raise awareness to the problem of suicide among our veterans, I knew I had to give it a try. “I’m 70 years old and weigh more than 200 pounds. It wasn’t easy for me I can tell you that, but so far so good. But you would be surprised how many people, even young people, that can’t do it.” Page’s quest has taken him to different locations where he has called on others to join him. He dropped and did 22 at Walmart with See PUSH • Page A 3

Thanks for making it a safe holiday weekend

ar too often the news following a holiday weekend is dominated by tragedy. Headlines often include reports of death on area highways as well as on the water after people lost their lives at a time that is supposed to be reserved for celebration. It appears that this year’s long Labor Day holiday period, which ended on Sept. 5, was one that will be remembered as a safe one in our area. There were no traffic fatalities and no deaths on the water reported here in Tallapoosa County over the holiday weekend, officials say. At a time when pre-holiday predictions are made and traffic on area roads and local waterways are at an all-time high, this year’s clean slate deserves recognition. There are several factors that contribute to such a safe weekend. Saturday football may have led to reduced traffic on the lake, while some local officials say an increased law enforcement presence on area roadways was another factor. Certainly another key was people used common sense when getting behind the wheel of their vehicle or watercraft. A check with local law enforcement officials shows that there were only five arrests for driving under the influence in the county. On the water, ALEA’s Marine Unit said there were just four arrests and no accidents on Lake Martin on what is widely recognized as one of the busiest weekends of the summer. Media reports and public service announcements are constants before the holiday period, reminding folks that seatbelt use and not texting while driving while on the roads and slowing down and wearing flotation devices on the water can help save lives. The reason behind those great numbers isn’t as important as the results. Congratulations Tallapoosa County for making it a safe holiday weekend.

Editorial Great to be alive and living in our area Our Mission

make no secret of how much I love living in Alexander City and the Lake Martin community. I have fallen in love with this place and the people who call the area home. From the job I do to the scenery I see every day to the cast of characters I meet every day, some days I feel like I have died and gone to heaven. I guess that feeling has intensified recently after what doctors called a close call. Some of you may have heard, but I got a firsthand look at the power of Mother Nature and just let me tell you, she is one bad woman. Exactly a month ago, I had been out cutting grass trying to beat a rain shower and get it all done before meeting friends for dinner. With the John Deere in high gear, I managed to get it done before the rain started with 20 minutes to spare before I was supposed to head out. I stood in my bedroom and shelled out of my sweatsoaked, grass covered clothes and was butt naked and ready to hit the shower. I flung open the bathroom door and as I put one foot on the bathroom tile, a blinding light flashed through the bathroom window and a pop and rumble put a ringing in my ears and shook the floor underneath me. My knees buckled and the next thing I knew I was flat on my back, unable to talk, move or feel my fingers or toes. The floor under me was wet and I didn’t know why. It took a minute or so for me to realize that I could move. Slowly I wiggled my fingers and toes and the white spot that was keeping me from seeing started to fade. I rolled over and sat up. That’s when I realized what had happened. Lightning had flashed through the open window and sent a charge to a power strip that radiated through me. I lost all bladder control and doctors have since told me that the shock made me lose all muscle control and touched off all sorts of stuff

in my organs. But in typical Sneed fashion, I figured no blood, no foul. I got up, took a shower and figured I was lucky. Then it was off to dinner I went. But over the next few days, I worked 45 hours getting the football section done and I tried to ignore the signs my body was sending me. My left arm ached and acted like it was asleep and there were times when my heart would race like it was beating out of my chest. Then I got to where I couldn’t stay out of the bathroom and thought I was trying to pass a kidney stone. Thursday morning I knew something wasn’t right and I figured I might need to see someone with some letters behind their name to check me out. Dr. Robert Edwards was booked solid, but they told me I could be seen at Health Partners Goodwater right away so off I went. After a urinalysis that looked like a science experiment and an EKG that looked like the Richter tape after a 9.2 earthquake, I got the word. “You need to go to the hospital, and we will call an ambulance,” Tammy Coker, the physcian’s assistant there, said. She threw out some health conditions with “sis” and “opathy” on the end, but at that point I saw lips moving, but I wasn’t understanding much. Remember, I’m a Sneed. “I’m not leaving my car here and I can be there before the ambulance gets here,” I told them. I got there and they got me back pretty quick. Dr. Roger Eiland ordered all sorts of tests, X-rays and started me on fluids and some awesome IV drugs.

He broke it down in language that this old South Georgia redneck could understand. “You are lucky to be alive,” he said. “You are going to have to take it easy for awhile and take some pretty strong drugs, but I think we can get you back to normal.” Me normal? That would be a change. But he was right. It’s taken a few weeks, but I feel about like my old self. No, not normal, but like I did before. Just some tingling and pain in my arm, but well enough to cheer for my Georgia Bulldogs and soak up a great Labor Day weekend in my adopted hometown. I mean the little things seem to be even better than ever. To see the crowd at the Equality Fire Department and Pauley Perrette straight from Hollywood beaming with pride over the firehouse that means so much to her Dad and the people in her hometown almost brought tears to my eyes. She spent hours making sure she had visited with everyone. Then there was the feeling of pride as the 24th returned Alexander City. If you don’t get misty when you see a little girl jump into the arms of her father who had been gone for almost a year, then maybe you need an EKG. The sunset from the hill of the Lake Martin Amphitheater was just a little redder and lasted longer than I can ever recall. The music from Rexton Lee, the Bank Walkers, the Bama Gamblers and the Vegabonds was so pure I could feel it inside. The lake had never been so blue and the sand on Big Beach had never felt so good between my toes. I can still taste those boiled peanuts from Peanut Point. I’m rambling. Maybe it was the lightning, but it’s great to be alive and living in Tallapoosa County on a Labor Day weekend. Sneed is the editor of The Record.

Reader thanks Langley Funeral Home Dear Editor, Words cannot express our gratitude to Randy Anderson, Kasey Smith Ray and the staff at Langley Funeral Home during the loss of our infant grandson. Their professionalism,

respect and compassion went well beyond what one would expect. Thank you David and Kathy Williams Dadeville

Reader: ‘Oh, we hypocrites’ Dear Editor, This is my opinion. Guess, the city and county are pleased as the Sunday Alcohol Sales passed. You know, I really wonder just how it passes? Seems as if just the folks who do the drinking were the only ones voting for the Sunday Sales, then surely it would/could not of passed. For would not believed there would have been that many to of voted Yes? Well, since it passed (my opinion) must have been a

good many Christians voting for it. Do people not realize when we go against Gods will, then He will have His way with the. Oh, businesses, may not boom they may go the complete opposite way. Down… We just can’t go against His will. If folks can’t make a go in six days, then the seventh day sure wont help. We have got to give one day to God or take the consequences. He will have His way, can we not see this?

Took Him six days to make everything and on the seventh day He rested and this is what He wants mankind to do, Honor Him on the seventh. If we don’t the cost is going to b high. Time is sure drawing closer, do we not care? Don’t think it would hurt anyone of us to read Isaiah Ch. 59 and Matthew Chs. 23 and 24, may wake some of us up I pray. May God bless all.

Above, one of the entries from the 2015 art and photography contest held by Lake Martin Living magazine. Entries are now being accepted for this year’s contest through Sept. 23.

Lake Martin Living accepting entries for 2016 Art and Photography Contest By LONNA UPTON Staff Writer

Lake Martin Living magazine is accepting entries for the 2016 Annual Art and Photography contest. Entries will be anonymously judged on creativity, skill, and how well the subject matter captures the essence of life in our region of East Alabama. Each artist may submit up to three pieces of art. Each piece may be in a different medium, or they may all be the same, as long as they are ready to hang. Artists should bring their works to the magazine office at 548 Cherokee Rd. in Alexander City by 5 p.m. on Sept. 23. There is no entry fee, but each piece should have the artist’s name, address and telephone number written clearly on the back, along with the name of the piece.

The first place winner will have his or her artwork featured as the cover of the October issue of Lake Martin Living magazine. Every entrant will have at least one piece featured in a special gallery section inside the issue. Entries will be showcased on the walls of Gallery 128/Emporium Wine at 128 Calhoun St. in downtown Alexander City during the month of October. The public can stop by to view the entries and cast their votes for the People’s Choice award from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesdays through Fridays and from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturdays. Artists are asked to receive their artwork from Gallery 128 in early November. For more information, email editor@ lakemartinmagazine.com or call Lonna Upton at 256234-4281.

School and local revenues of $10,185,164. Those local revenues include the 2 percent sales tax. If the projections are correct on sales tax, the Tallapoosa County Board of Education will have required one month’s reserve operating expense by February. “We are ahead of schedule for that,” Blasingame said. “We are about $450,000 over budget on sales tax for the year.” Tallapoosa County Board of Education Superintendent Joe Windle told the board that plans should be made to go to the county commissioners to get a property tax on the ballot as was the agreement when the Tallapoosa County

continued from page 1

Commission passed the new sales tax a year ago. “We should do it next year and not wait until the third year,” Windle said. “We will work with the commission to see if they want to do it in a special election, the June primaries or the November general election.” Windle also wanted to thank the three county commissioners who voted for the sales tax. Those commissioners were T.C. Coley, Emma Jean Threatt and George Carleton. “We should never forget them,” Windle said. “We should get out and help them as they run for reelection.” Board Chairman Martin Johnson agreed. “We owe a lot to

those commissioners,” Johnson said. When the board reaches that reserve, several projects are in the works already – new visitor bleachers at Dadeville High School, new air conditioning in the kitchen at Horseshoe Bend School and new lights for the football field at Reeltown. Once those projects are completed, Windle said those revenues would be leveraged to generate a bond for larger projects like renovating the gym at Dadeville High School and building a new band room and gym at Reeltown. Money for much needed technology will come from grants. “We can E-rate dol-

lars for technology,” Windle explained. “The government will provide 80 percent if we will put up 20 percent.” Things are also looking up for expenditures as they trail revenue by more than $600,000. The next budget hearing is Monday, Sept. 12 at 4 p.m. with a regularly scheduled meeting to follow at 5 p.m.

HOMECOMING HEARTBREAK

Cliff Williams / The Record

Dadeville’s Margarius Buchanan cuts back behind blocking in the Tigers game with Munford.

Dadeville falls to Munford despite first half success in homecoming game By CATHY HIGGINS Sports Editor

What started out as a night of homecoming dreams for Dadeville Fwriday night ended with heartache as the Tigers lost to Munford by a score of 35-24. It really was a tale of two halves with Tigers starting quarterback Margarius Buchanan paving the way for Dadeville to have cause for celebration. After all, he scored all three of Dadeville’s touchdowns rushed 127 yards, with 107 of those in the first half. He also successfully passed the ball a total of 41 yards Friday.

Dadeville set the stage for a great home game when Buchanan rushed the ball for a touchdown from the 5-yard line to during the Tigers’ second down with 6:15 left in the first quarter. With this Dadeville was the first to put points on the board, bringing the score to 6-0 almost halfway through the first quarter. But Munford soon showed they came to play as Lions wide receiver LaRaie Ball caught a 36-yard pass at the goal line sent from quarterback Avery Harris for a touchdown with 5:13 left in the first. This tied the game at 6-6. But with Munford’s good kick for the

extra point, the Lions edged past the Tigers with a score of 7-6. Dadeville came back in the second quarter. In the Tigers’ first down at Munford’s 19-yard line Buchanan rushed for a touchdown with 9:46 left in the quarter. With this Dadeville came back on top with the score at 12-7. The Tigers increased that lead before the half was over. With 1:18 left in the second quarter, Buchanan rushed the ball 45 yards for his third touchdown of the night. With that he brought the score to 18-7 for the remainder of the half. Dadeville’s homecoming

dreams began to shatter as the second half got underway. Once the Tigers turned over possession, Munford moved the ball down the field and set themselves up to be the first to score in the third quarter. In a second down from the 6-yard line Harris rushed for a touchdown, bringing the score to 18-14 in favor of Dadeville with 7:27 left in the third. It wasn’t long before the Lions leaped over Dadeville. With the Tigers facing fourth down and 13 yards to go from their own 24-yard line, Munford running back Carson Smith intercepted the ball at the 43-yard line and returned it

Rebels get first win of Johnson era BY MITCH SNEED Editor

WOODLAND – The Reeltown Rebels ended two weeks of frustration, taking advantage of mistakes and finally getting its offense on track in a 42-6 win here Friday night. It was the first win of the Matt Johnson era at Reeltown, and the Rebels did it using a formula that has been their trademark for decades – ground and pound offense and swarming defense that often had 11 white helmets battering Bobcat ball carriers. “You know, that is exactly what we needed,” Johnson said. “We’ve had two pretty rough weeks. To get a win and get our confidence up will go a long way.” On a night that was wet and sloppy, Johnson said the Rebels “just got back to doing what we do and what Reeltown has always done.” Freshman running back Trakevon Hughley ran for 105 yards on 15 carries and scored tree touchdowns to pace the Rebels. The game was out of hand in the first half as Hughley ran for touchdowns of 16 and 10 yards in the first quarter and quarterback Jamon Matthews hit freshman wideout Eric Shaw for touchdowns of 23 and 9 yards in the second quarter. The Rebels had built a 28-0 lead at the half and cruised to a win as a steady rain slowed both teams in the second half. Hughley added a 25-yard scoring run in the third quarter and a John Derrick Hammonds kick gave the Rebels a 35-0 cushion after their first possession of the second half. Woodland’s lone score came midway through the third quarter

for a touchdown with 5:46 left in the third quarter. The TD put Munford up 12-18 after the PAT. As the fourth quarter got under way, it looked like Dadeville might rally. In the second play of the quarter, Buchanan passed the ball to wide receiver Devin Johnson at the Tigers’ own 3-yard line. Johnson then rambled an amazing 97 yards for a touchdown, bringing the score to 24-21 in favor of Dadeville with 11:42 left in the game. Munford reclaimed the lead when Lions defensive end Tacorrie Russell rushed the ball for a touchdown from the 24-yard line.

GAME NIGHT PREVIEW

Tigers seek redemption By CATHY HIGGINS and MITCH SNEED Staff Writers

Mitch Sneed / The Record

Reeltown quarterback Jamon Matthews, left, turns the corner for a long first-quarter run in the Rebels win at Woodland Friday night.

after a bad snap on a punt set the Bobcats up at the Reeltown 19. On the first play, Steven Robertson rambled around left end for a touchdown with 5:05 left in the third period. Reeltown went to its bench the rest of the way and six different players ran the ball. Cameron Faison added the Rebels final score, scoring on a 1-yard run with 5:16 to play and another PAT by Hammonds gave Reeltown a 36-point lead at 42-6. Reeltown ran the ball 41 times for 276 yards and three four rushing touchdowns. Matthews and the Rebels were 5-of-9 passing for 62 yards and the two scores to Shaw. The defense was also impressive. With the help of several mistakes by the Bobcats, the Rebels held Woodland in check virtually all night. Woodland finished the night

with minus-2 yards total offense. Johnson said he saw signs all week that this week could be different. “This week’s practices were the most physical we’ve had and I felt like that despite the last two week’s they had a different feel about them,” Johnson said. “That’s why I was excited to get to Friday night this week. We’ve had some injuries and tonight the weather kept us from doing some of the things we wanted to do. But we adjusted and I’m proud of the way the guys fought and stayed after it.” There were still some issues for the Rebels, including four fumbles and two interceptions and 85 yards in penalties. “There are still some things we have to clean up,” Johnson said. “But to get a win on the road after the last two weeks, we will take it ago right back to work to get better.”

This brought the score to 27-24 in favor of Munford with 5:09 left in the game. That jumped to 28-24 with Munford’s kick for the extra point. With rain coming down and Dadeville failing to hold on to the ball, Munford took advantage of only increasing their lead. With under two minutes left in the came, Russell rushed the ball nine yards for a touchdown, bringing the score to 34-24 with 1:52 left in the game. With the extra kick, this brought the final score to 35-24 in favor of Munford. The loss brings Dadeville’s season record to 1-2.

With last week’s homecoming game loss to Munford, the Tigers go into their third home game of the season with a 2016 record of 1-2 overall and 0-1 for the region. Dadeville’s 35-24 loss in their first region game of 2016 really came down to the second half. “We made too many mistakes,” Dadeville head football coach Richard White said immediately after the game. Dadeville’s most stark mistakes showed when rain began coming down heavily on Tiger Stadium in the fourth quarter and the Tigers failed to adapt to a wet playing field like Munford did. “We can’t handle wet footballs,” White said. “We can’t overcome diversity when we needed to. That’s the bottom line.” This week’s forecast calls for Dadeville facing an undefeated Leeds at home for its second region game of the season. According to White, the Tigers need to address

their mistakes on the field before devising a game plan against the Green Wave, which is ranked No. 3 for the 4A region by the Alabama Sports Writers Association. “We’ve got to overcome all this mess we got tonight,” White said. Kickoff is 7 p.m. Friday at Tiger Stadium.

Reeltown readies for rival game against Horseshoe Bend

Last week Reeltown hit more than one milestone with its 42-6 win over Woodland. It was the Rebels’ first win of the season, bringing their record to 1-2 overall and 1-0 for the region for 2016. It was also the team’s inaugural victory under head football coach Matt Johnson. With last week’s win under their belt, the Rebels head back home for Friday’s rivalry game against Horseshoe Bend. Following last week’s win over Woodland, Johnson took a minute to enjoy the win. But it didn’t take him long to start to focus on this week’s matchup with the Generals. See GAME • Page B2

GAME “I know they struggled some the last couple of years, but they are a pretty good football team,” he said. “They do a good job running the football and we will have to have the same kind of effort from out defense if we hope to

stop them.” Last week the Rebels’ defense held Woodland to minus-2 yards of total offense and allowed just one score late in the game. Horseshoe Bend fell to Lanett Friday, in a game that was marred

by an altercation following the loss that brought the Generals to a season record of 1-1 overall and 0-1 for the region. News broke Tuesday that Horseshoe Bend head coach Jason Franklin and one unidentified player

will be suspended for one game. It wasn’t clear whether that suspension would come this week. Either way, Johnson said the Rebels need to get back to work and concentrate on getting better and fixing some of the nag-

ging issues that plagued them, even in Friday’s win over Woodland. Reducing penalties and holding on to the football will be a focus for the Rebels this week. “There are still some things we have to clean

up,” Johnson said. “But to get a win on the road after the last two weeks, we will take it ago right back to work to get better.” Kickoff is 7 p.m. at N i x - We b s t e r - O ’ N e a l Stadium.

Ben’s sermon was titled “Disciples Take Faith Seriously” with scripture readings from Jeremiah 18; Psalm 139; Philemon 1; and Luke 14. Jesus deserves our full love. Disciples take faith seriously. Have you ever wanted to cry out to God: “if this is the way you treat your friends, no wonder you don’t have many!” That comment came from Mother Theresa as she was traveling and got stuck in the mud! She was truly a first responder, and a symbol of unselfishness. How many of us want to be a disciple of Christ? We are told that we must FIRST sell all of our earthly possessions! Do we deserve God’s Grace? Red Ridge Methodist Church News: Rev. Messer’s sermon this Sunday is titled “Why

A REFUGE FOR THE HOMELESS

Jeff Sessions’ support of Donald Trump could pay off T

hroughout this year’s prodigious presidential selection process our junior senator, Jeff Sessions, has been at the forefront. He has become the darling of the extreme right throughout the country. He is and has been one of the most conservative members of the U.S. Senate for close to two decades now. Throughout his entire tenure in the Senate, he has been consistently ranked as one of the five most conservative members of this august body. It is because of Sessions staunch conservatism that he is probably the most popular major political figure in Alabama. He adroitly reflects the philosophy and values of arguably the most conservative state in America. His support and endorsement was sought by all of the GOP presidential contenders. His hardline approach on the immigration issue put him in line early with Donald Trump. Even still during the GOP presidential debates the other

STEVE FLOWERS Columnist

candidates, especially Ted Cruz, would imply that Sessions liked him. He was identified early on as being supportive of Donald Trump. Although he never officially endorsed Trump, he appeared at Trump’s campaign rallies in Mobile and Huntsville with a Trump hat on. Sessions showed a wise and shrewd side by knowing that Alabamians have always resented one politician endorsing or getting involved in a race other than their own. Novice politicians of recent years, like Bob Riley and Robert Bentley, would arrogantly endorse people who systematically lost because of their endorsement. They lacked the knowledge of Alabama political history that Alabamians resent this interference. George Wallace

in the prime of his political popularity would occasionally endorse someone and they always lost. Wallace eventually quit doing it. A good example would be that during this year’s Alabama Republican Primary, Sessions subtly sided with Trump and he got over 60 percent of the vote in Alabama and Bentley endorsed Ohio Governor John Kasich and he got less than 4 percent of the vote in the state. Sessions is a consistent guest on the conservative news network, Fox. He is adored nationwide by the country’s conservative base. He epitomizes the gold standard of conservatism on social and fiscal policy. He is even more respected and trusted by the right because they can tell that his heart is in it and he does not harbor aspirations to be president. Sessions has become Trump’s go to guy in the U.S. Senate. Sessions held a meeting early on to get Trump acquainted with his Republican

Senate colleagues. Trump would probably have liked for Sessions to have been his vice presidential running mate. However, Sessions would not have brought anything to the table in the Electoral College process. The hardcore right wing is already in Trump’s corner and, like I always say, Alabama would vote for the Republican nominee if he was named Donald Duck, especially given how far left the Democratic Party has drifted under the leadership of Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. Jefferson Beauregard Sessions, III was born in Wilcox County but has called Mobile home his entire adult life. He is a true blue lifetime arch conservative Republican. He was a young Republican leader while a college student at Huntingdon College. He campaigned for Goldwater. He served as a Republican U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Alabama for twelve years. Sessions was elected Attorney General of Alabama

in 1994. He was elected to the U.S. Senate two years later in 1996. Therefore, Sessions has been representing us in the U.S. Senate for 20 years. He will be 70 years old on Christmas Eve. If Donald Trump were to be elected president, he would probably offer Sessions a cabinet post as either Secretary of State or Secretary of Homeland Security or maybe even a seat on the U.S. Supreme Court. People who know Sessions well believe that he would leave the Senate for one of these posts. If that were to occur, his successor would be appointed by the governor. It would be a plum appointment. We will see. 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.
