The house where Smith was found dead
Smith found dead in home,
two suspects now in custody
By Alton Mitchell
A LaFayette man was
found dead in his home on
Thursday, making him the
first homicide victim in
LaFayette for the year
2016. Authorities have
quickly identified a suspect
in the death of 52-year-old
John Keith Smith and that
suspect and an accomplice
have now been taken into
custody.
On Thursday afternoon
LaFayette police responded
to a home located on Alabama Avenue West. Shortly
before police officers were
dispatched to the home a
relative of John Keith
Smith arrived at the home
and discovered Smith’s
body lying on the floor of
his home.
Investigators quickly
learned that the victim’s automobile was also missing
from the Alabama Avenue
residence. That vehicle was
identified as a silver
Hyundai. LaFayette police
Casey Smith
Amber Hancock
placed a call to regional law
enforcement agencies to be
on the lookout for the vehicle and it was located a
short time later by officers
in Auburn, Alabama.
Auburn officers were
able to detain the driver of
the vehicle, that driver was
identified as Casey Smith.
In addition to Smith
Auburn police also located
a female passenger in the
vehicle. That passenger has
been identified as Amber
Hancock, she is believed to
be the girlfriend of Casey
Smith. Auburn police were
able to arrest duo on
charges of giving false information to a police officer.
Casey Smith is describe as the 30-year-old
nephew of the victim, John
Keith Smith. Investigators
believe that the motive behind the homicide was robbery and burglary. However
charges have been upgraded
in
Chambers
County to include capital
murder for the death of
John K. Smith.
Initially following the
traffic stop in Auburn
Casey Smith and Amber
Hancock were being detained in the Lee County
Detention Center in Opelika, however jail population records indicate that
the pair has been transported to the Chambers
County Detention Center in
LaFayette and are now
being housed at that facility.
The Alabama State
Bureau of Investigation
took the role of lead investigator in the homicide of
John Kieth Smith, who was
also commonly known as
“coach”. The local grandfather who was known to
have hobbies that included
watching NASCAR races
and proudly proclaiming
“roll tide” was laid to rest
on Tuesday March 8th,
2016 at Hillcrest Cemetery
in Lanett.
Missing car key to nabbing suspects
By Alton Mitchell
The popular television
show on A&E called The
First 48 follows real life police investigators in major
cities across the nation as
they pursue clues and attempt to solve homicides
with a 2 day time frame.
Investigators on the show
do not always get their suspect in the allotted time
frame. However if the
LaFayette Police Department was on the show it
could be a poster child for
other investigators on how
to quickly identify and capture suspects in the 48 hour
time line.
In the past seven
months LaFayette investigators have found themselves at the center of two
homicide investigations.
Homicides are not a common thing in the LaFayette
area and normally average
one or less per year. However in less than a seven
month period two have
shown themselves in the
neighborhoods
of
LaFayette. Yet unlike many
other cities the LaFayette
area can proudly say that it
has a 100% closure rate on
recent homicides.
LaFayette police were
faced with their first homicide on Monday August
9th, 2015 when officers responded to a home on Martin Luther King Drive in the
early morning hours. Upon
arrival officers discovered a
20-year-old man suffering
from gunshot wounds. That
young man was identified
as LaMarcus D. Hardnett.
Mr. Hardnett was still alive
when officers arrived but in
a grave situation as his condition was deteriorating.
In need of immediate
medical attention Mr. Hardnett was airlifted to a hospital in Columbus, Georgia
for treatment of his injuries.
The following day the
young man who had graduated from LaFayette High
School just a little over a
year before lost the battle
he faced against his injuries
and passed away.
While Mr. Hardnett lay
in a hospital room fighting
for his life investigators in
LaFayette were already on
the case and building a case
against the alleged shooter.
Before responding officers
ended their shift they had a
suspect in custody. Santavius Quamez Core of
Opelika was named as a
suspect and apprehended
by LaFayette officers only
a short time after the shooting. He was arrested and
booked into the Chambers
County Jail on murder
charges.
On last Thursday
LaFayette officers were
again faced with a homicide. Officers were called to
a home on Alabama Avenue
West where the body of the
52-year-old homeowner
John Keith Smith was
found lying on the floor of
the home. Police and investigators quickly began to
gather evidence and piece
together what could have
happened. Officers were
quickly able to come up
with a crucial piece of the
puzzle as they discovered
that the victim’s automobile
was missing. Officers
placed a BOLO on the vehicle of Mr. Smith to area
departments.
The missing vehicle
was located quickly near
Stonewall Road in Auburn,
Alabama. A suspect and
passenger were quickly arrested and transported to
the Lee County Detention
facility in Opelika. Since
then the suspects who was
the nephew of the victim
identified as Casey Smith
and his girlfriend Amber
Hancock have been returned to the Chambers
County Detention Facility
and over the weekend had
their charges upgraded to
Continued on 2A
By Alton Mitchell
The campaign signs
that have greeted motorist
and pedestrians on Chambers County street corners and billboards are
slowly beginning to vanish. Last Tuesday’s Super
Tuesday’s results are in
and many of the local
races have been decided.
The biggest race of
the day was the presidential primary for both democratic and republican
races in the state. The
winner of each matched
the trends nationally. Alabama Democratic victor
proved to be Hilary Clinton who seized 78% of
the votes in Alabama. Republican voters selected
Donald Trump who held
43% of Alabama’s votes
to make him the victor of
the Republican primary
ticket.
Other races had more
of an effect locally on
Chambers County those
included those for Public
Service
Commission
President in which Twinkle Cavanaugh emerged
victorious taking 63%
over Terry Dunn.
One of the biggest
local races involved the
seat for the United States
House for District 3. The
highly publicized race
was
between
Mike
Rogers
and
Larry
DiChiara as GOP primary
candidates.
Rogers
emerged victorious taking
76% of the vote over
DiChiara. The democratic
ticket in the race was uncontested and Jesse Smith
won by default.
The U.S. Senate race
in Alabama was also a
close one for democrats
as Ron Crumpton squared
off against Charles Nana.
Crumpton emerged victorious taking 56% of the
vote over Nana. The Republican ticket was a lot
more decorated supporting five candidates in
which Richard Shelby
emerged victorious.
The race for the District Attorney of Chambers County also proved
to be a very interesting
race in the local area. Valley attorney Bill Harris
won the Republican nomination for district attorney of the Fifth Judicial
District. Harris easily
won with nearly 70% of
the vote beating out
Damon Lewis.
The battle lines were
also drawn during the
election for the district 2
seat of the Chambers
County Commission. In
that race Douglas E.
Jones beat out Jimbo
Brown for the District
two seat. In the November election there is no
opposition to run against
Jones so he will be the
new commissioner.
The primary results
are now in and the signs
are coming down only to
make room for new signs
to take their place as the
November election approaches for the final decision on voting in
Chambers County and the
nation.
Lanett basketball
captures state title
By Staff Reports
@lsunnews
The Lanett Panthers
are the 2016 AHSAA
Class 2A state champions
following their 73-48 victory over St. Luke’s Episcopal on Friday night in
Birmingham. The Panthers got out of the gate
fast before allowing a late
first half run by St. Luke’s
that led to a seven-point
halftime lead.
The Panther defense
would take over during
the third quarter, only allowing three points in the
period. Lanett outscored
their opponent 25-3 during that span to take a 5627 advantage going into
the fourth quarter. Senior
guard Tavaris Geiger
scored nine of those
points en route to his 22
point MVP performance.
Freshman guard Tye Truitt scored 21 points in the
win and sophomore forward Anquavious Pollard
added another doubledouble with 14 points and
12 rebounds.
Lanett lead would be-
come as large as 34 points
late in the final quarter.
“We were focused,
we were ready, we were
inspired and we were determined,” said Lanett
coach Richard Carter by
phone on Monday morning. The realization sinking in that he was the
coach of the best 2A team
in the state of Alabama.
“It really feels good to be
state champions,” he said,
the only thing about it
now is I have to begin to
plan for next season.”
Geiger, Truitt and
Pollard were named to the
All-Tournament
team
along with St. Luke’s
Caleb Haynes, Preston
Hunter and sophomore
guard Mark Wilcox Jr.,
who scored a game high
25 points to go along with
12 rebounds.
Geiger,
Christion
Goss, Zach Mosley and
Savion Ware are the
team’s only seniors. The
Panthers finished the
2015-16 season with a
record of 27-6 and went
undefeated in region play.

In a recent sit down
LaFayette Police Chief
Benjamin Hill explained
that crime can happen anywhere and LaFayette is not
a place that commonly sees
a lot of homicides or violent
crime, but when it does the
LaFayette Police Department is here to help. The
words expressed by Chief
Hill have been demonstrated twice in the past several months as the murder
rate in LaFayette does not
carry an unsolved statistic
with it.
While the closest the
First 48 may make it to
LaFayette is Atlanta or
Birmingham there is still a
First 48 that is occurring on
a very rare basis in the
LaFayette area. LaFayette
Police and investigators
have answered the call and
step up to achieve the best
outcomes to offer families
of victims some type of closure in homicide situations
in the city.
What does the President earn
By Paul Richardson
If you’ve ever wondered, it’s $400,000 per
year, paid to him in a
monthly installments. Plus
he has an annual expense
account of $50,000 per
year to spend as he sees
fit. And if that isn’t
enough, everything else he
needs, wants, and desires
is absolutely free, furnished at tax payer’s expense.
Don’t confuse salary
with
income.
While
Obama’s
salary
was
$400,000, his income was
$790,000.
At the end of his term,
Obama will retire with an
annual
pension
of
$200,000, health care,
paid travel, an office, and
lifetime Secret Service
protection for his entire
family.
The very first President, George Washington,
received $25,000 per year.
Not much by today’s standards, but by monetary
comparison, that equals to
$600,000
in
today’s
money.
Keep Smilin
Profiling Carolyn Wheeler
By Charlotte Blasingame
As you drive through
our quaint town I am sure
you will notice the different
Venues in each storefront,
which you can attribute the
look to our Keep SMILIN
profile this week.
Most of you probably
know her as she has spent
may tireless days working
on the presentation of our
image to tourist and visitors
to our city, Carolyn
Wheeler
moved
to
LaFayette in 1951 when her
grandfather accepted a job
as Principle of LaFayette
High School.
Living in the country
with their parents did not
seem to be the proper thing
to do for her and her sister
so in agreement with their
parents they moved with
their grandparents to
LaFayette to experience the
city life. After graduation
from high school Carolyn
attended and graduated
from Auburn University ,
going on to teach school for
25 years in Alexander City
Alabama, served as Administrator of an Assisted Living Home, and also
Managing an Antique store
she decided to give up on
starting a new career.
With that being said
after retiring she returned
home yearning to improve
the
way
downtown
LaFayette looked. Working
downtown was like stepping back in time states
Mrs. Wheeler. In 2009 she
spoke to the Rotary Club
expressing a desire to present a better image of the
Chambers County Seat. She
states the purpose of the
project was to clean, paint,
and do minor repairs, and
creating display windows
in unoccupied buildings
around the square while
maintaining the historical
character of the facilities.
Helping create this
image included as many as
100 volunteers on a designated work day around our
town, which she added she
was very grateful for everyone who participated.
Credit is also due to her
seven committee members..which this project
could have never been
completed without their
help!
During his tenure as
Governor, Bob Riley presented the LaFayette Group
Storefront Project with a
Certificate of Recognition
commemorating
their
group effort on this endeavor .

Alabama is short 157
million
dollars
($157,000,000) to fund
Medicaid. Some legislators
think that a state sponsored
lottery would help generate
enough funds to cover this
short fall. This is especially
an issue since many of the
Alabama residents are buying lottery tickets in the
surrounding states.
Alabama already has
the Indian casinos that operate in Alabama who are
exempt from state laws
prohibiting gambling. According to one of the Alabama Senators, the Indian
Casinos do not fund any of
the State Of Alabama fiscal
needs. Of course they pay
ad valorem taxes and employee taxes just as any
other businesses do, but
pay no percentage of earnings as the surrounding
states’ games-of-chance are
subject to. The same is to
be said for Victory Land. It
provided good employment
opportunities for locals and
paid business taxes. However, they were not subject
to pay a percentage of the
gambling receipts to the
State.
I tell you what, I will
report to you later about the
Georgia Lottery. Meantime, I need to check in
with Trump to get all the
facts related to gambling.
He knows more about the
odds of gambling than all
the other wanna-bees.
Wanna Bet
By Bill Frazer
Wanna bet? It is a hot
topic in Alabama. And sure
as “a gun is iron” , the legislature is going to let the
voters decide if they want
to gamble.
It is common knowledge that Alabama citizens
are flocking to border states
to place their bets. Geneva
County State Representative said a constituent spent
a few minutes counting
cars with Alabama tags
funneling into a lottery
sales store across the state
line into Florida. During
the Powerball jackpot he
counted 31 cars with Alabama license plates parked
in the lottery store parking
lot as he went in to the
store. It is not only Florida,
but if you enter out Alabama into Georgia you will
note that most of the lottery
ticket buyers are Alabama
residents. This is true in all
the surrounding states as
gamblers flock into Tennessee and Mississippi as
well.
The Alabama legislature has a majority of Republicans who represent
the evangelicals. Gambling
(and that’s what the lottery
is) is not considered by
many Christians to be sinful. However, the Bible
does mention “casting lots'
for Jesus's clothes while he
was hanging on the Cross.
No question about it, if you
are risking assets that your
family could use purchasing needed items, it is a sin.
And there in is the problem, a high percentage of
welfare recipients are
spending
discretionary
funds on the lottery. The
people who struggle are
hoping for a windfall when
buying lottery tickets yet
the odds are 7-1 that they
will lose.
The gambling issue
has been a controversial
issue ever since the country
was settled. In early years
my extended family played
Bolieta which was an illegal lottery. Bolieta was a
scam where an agent would
go door to door selling tickets and arrange that periodically
one
of
the
participants would pass the
word around that they had
won a huge cash prize.
When we took cotton to the
gin in my youth, I would
always try to have a nickel
to go over to Wilson's gen-
eral store to buy a coke and
a dime to try to win on the
punch board. I assumed the
punch board was legal or it
would not be used publicly.
It became enticing as I
would hear from friends
that Joe Doe had won a big
prize on the punch board.
My wife always participates in the Publishing
Clearance House offers
(which I consider a scam).
Often you see advertisements on the tube showing
this family opening the
door to a representative
telling them that they have
won $7,000 per week for
the rest of their life. I do not
consider that to be sinful as
she is carrying out her wish
to be able to provide to a lot
of needed charity requests
that she receives in the mail

Mikes’s Musings
Turning 50 can be a blast
By Mike Wilcox, Publisher
Yesterday my wife
ushered in the half-century
mark. She’s now the big 50,
and frankly, if there is a
birthday that we all cringe
at, it is this one. To her
credit she has taken it quite
well. From a guy, however,
who has been there and
several years past, I provide
a few reasons why turning
50 isn’t all that bad.
1. At 50, you can get
out of a lot of unpleasant
stuff by simply saying you
are now too old. I know I
have certainly used it to my
advantage. When someone
asks me to go to a Five Finger Death Punch concert, I
simply say I’m not going to
embarrass myself by being
the oldest person there. Or
when I’m asked to go ziplining across the Grand
Canyon I evoke my age
every time. It works, that is
unless you are responding
to someone older than you.
2. At 50, you start
receiving all kinds of mail
from the AARP. If you join
you can enjoy all kinds of
sweet senior citizen discounts. As for myself, I refuse to join. I can’t bring
myself to think others
would consider me a senior
citizen.
3. At 50 you sud-
denly become a fountain of
wisdom. Younger people
just assume since you have
lived so long- and have actually avoided living in a
box under a Florida overpass, that you must have
valuable insights about living in this complex world.
50 is the perfect age to
spout the sage advice your
parents once gave you,
even though you totally ignored it. Don’t ever admit
to actually any of the things
you advise against. Remember what happened in
Vegas, stays in Vegas.
4. At 50 you become
a lot more confident in your
views and opinions. Some
call it “set in your ways”,
but I prefer the word “confidence.” I know as a
younger adult, I had difficulty making up my mind
or stating my viewpoint because I didn’t want to offend anyone. Now it’s
totally different. I don’t really care that I’m set in my
ways. And at 50, you can’t
get away with it.
5. At 50 you can buy
random and useless stuff,
because you already have
accumulated most of life’s
necessities. House, cars,
children’s education, etc.
are usually purchased after
of busting your butt, so
now you are free to roam
Amazon or Ebay, and buy
crap you can’t believe you
have lived so many years
without.
6. At 50 you have
earned the right to “stop
sweating the small stuff.”
Making dinner, doing laundry, grocery shopping or
wearing proper clothing
shouldn’t be a cause for
angst anymore. That’s why
hot pockets, pizza delivery
and big sweatshirts were invented.
7. At 50 you’re preconceived notions about
aging are tossed out the
window. We hear often that
70 is the new 50, well at 50
we start to believe that. No
one, in this day and age can
tell you when to retire, or
when you have to sell your
house and downsize. Just
saying I never plan to retire
and just bought a new
house. It’s all about how
you think, and I feel at age
50 life is just getting
started.
All in all I’ve found 50
to be pretty cool. Yes, I now
need to have my reading
glasses handy at all times,
but overall, life can be so
much fun when you get
older.
Tax payer money wasted
By Paul Richardson
President Obama’s
$757 billion economic
stimulus program was introduced in 2009 as a way
to jump-start the U.S.
economy by injecting tax
dollars that would stimulate new jobs and growth,
especially through spending on new infrastructure
like roads and bridges.
But hundreds of millions of dollars spent in
the program went instead
to elderly Filipinos, much
of it virtually guaranteed
never to make its way
back to the U.S. economy.
Tucked away in the
stimulus was a secret provision to pay $9,000 each
to residents of the Philippines who fought alongside the U.S. in World War
II. Those who had become
U.S. citizens since the war
got $15,000.
The stimulus payments, called Filipino Veterans
Equity
Compensation, started in
April 2009. More than
$225 million has since
been paid to more than
18,000 Filipino vets.
All the while our Vets
go without medical treatment, thousands of our
citizens sleep on the
streets and go hungry, or
eat from trash dumpsters,
thousands of our children
go to sleep hungry each
night as the nation keeps
going deeper and deeper
in debt.
And the reason for the
massive debt………?
During the same period (from 2009) our government has provided
direct cash aid to ....
Hamas- $351 M (M for
million)
Egypt- $397 M,
Mexico- $622 M,
Russia- $380 M,
Jordan- $463 M,
Kenya- $816 M,
Sudan- $870 M,
Nigeria- $456 M,
Uganda- $451 M,
Congo- $359 M,
Ethiopia- $981 M,
South Africa- $566 M,
Senegal- $698 M,
Mozambique- $404 M,
Zambia- $331 M,
Kazakhstan- $304 M,
Tanzania- $554 M,
Iraq- $1.08 B, (B for billion)
Pakistan- $2 B,
Haiti- $1.4 B,
All this money and
they still hate use, but it
doesn’t stop them from
asking for more!
Remember the fund
raising event for the earthquake victims in Haiti on
12 TV Stations?
Ships and planes lining up with food, water,
tents, clothes, bedding,
doctors and medical supplies, and money. And the
idiots were still not satisfied. They had the gall to
say no one helps as they
hold out their hands for
more.
Just Imagine if our
own government gave
'US' the same support they
continue to give to foreign
countries. Sad isn’t it?

I believe in signs
By Jody Fuller
I’d struggled mentally,
physically, and emotionally
for quite some time when in
early December I finally
swallowed my pride and
went to the VA in Tuskegee.
When I returned from my
last deployment five years
ago, I went to the VA in
Birmingham and had a negative experience with my
doctor on my initial visit
and never returned. My experience in Tuskegee was
very different from the
start.
The enrollment clerk
was very pleasant, and, as
mentioned in an earlier article, the first available appointment just happened to
be the very last slot on
Christmas Eve. I truly believe that was a gift from
God. That was a sign.
I really liked my doctor. When I walked into his
office, the first words out of
his mouth were “War
Eagle.” I was wearing an
Auburn jacket. Our relationship was off to a great
start. He’d spent 10 years as
a flight surgeon in the Air
Force. Whether I told him
about my migraines, my
sleep issues, or my allergic
reactions to Bama fans, he
was there to help me. Unlike the guy in Birmingham, he actually cared.
His name was Dr. Canfield, and he would have
been my primary care
physician from that point
on, but he was getting
ready to retire from the VA.
As far as I know, that was
his last day of work. Perhaps it wasn’t, but it was
the last time I saw him. I’m
just glad I got into the system with him. That was a
sign of good things to
come. He told me he was
opening a private practice
in Auburn. I wish I’d gotten
his number.
Two months later, after
years of procrastination, I
visited the Veterans Service
Office at the Lee County
Courthouse. If I was just
looking for a check, I
would have been there
years earlier, but after all
my years of service including three tours in Iraq, it
was time. The aches and
pains, mental and physical,
were almost too much to
bear at times. Some of my
peers had begged and
pleaded for me to go. I had
a great meeting with the
veterans service officer and
had actually met him years
ago before he held this po-
sition. That, too, was a
good sign.
Later, I drove through
downtown Opelika and
stopped at Dorris Sign Co.
to talk to my friend LaGina
about having T-shirts made.
I believe in figurative signs,
but they believe in literal
signs. It’s what they do, and
they do a great job. We
looked at different colors
and different styles, and
then she pointed at one
hanging on the far end of
the wall.
I walked down to take
a look. It was a nice T-shirt,
but that’s not what caught
my attention. I looked
down on the table in front
of me. It was a sign—literally and figuratively. It was
the only sign there, and it
could have been made any
day in the past or any day in
the future. In fact, I don’t
know when it was made.
The only thing I know is
that I didn’t have to stop
that day and he could’ve
used any sign company in
the area. The sign was for
Dr. Canfield. It also had his

Recently, Chattahoochee Humane Society visited Fairfax Elementary School kindergarten classes and showed the students
how to lift their knee to a dogs chest to keep it from jumping
on them. Use your big voice and say 'no' when you gently
push the dog away with your knee. Done consistently, this will
teach your dog that it's bad manners to jump on people, and
will train them to stop this bad behavior. For help with your
pet's behavior issues, call CHS today, (334) 756-9377.

Quality is something that means a great deal to Bedele and Doug Clark, the owners of Clark Interiors in Lanett. Quality is the foundation of their business and, in fact, it’s why they opened Clark Interiors in the first place.
For years, the Clarks worked in the fu
urniture business. Some of their experiences included working with chains that sold cheaper
products. For the Clarks, the problems that accompanied these products far outweighed the financial benefits.
So they made a big decision in 1989. They decided to “risk it all,” and open their own store. Clark Interiors was born.
Now, 27 years later, Clark Interiors is thriving off that vision of quality that led Bedele and Doug to open the business.

LaFayette High School quarterback
JaTarvious Whitlow starts recruiting visits

Orleans) and LouisianaLafayette. The University
of Iowa has shown interest in regards to track and
field as well as football
and local Troy University
has expressed interest in
both football and basketball.
This is just the beginning of what will be an interesting
time
for
Whitlow’s parents Pamela
Whitlow Holloway and
Terrence Holloway, who
consider all the attention
her son has been receiving
to be “a blessing.”
The family got a
chance to meet with the
coaches and get a tour of
not only the UAB campus
but the spot where the university is supposed to
build a new facility. Whitlow’s father Terrence Holloway was impressed, “I

Saturday. The first-team
All-State selection is starting his Spring recruiting
season with a bang. He
and his family have already visited the University of Alabama and this
past weekend they took a
trip down to Birmingham
to see what the University
of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) has to (unofficially) offer.

Alabama-Birmingham’s best chance at what
most likely will be one of
the state’s top prospects
will be if they are fine
with Whitlow playing
both basketball and football as a freshman. With
visits to bigger, more established programs coming up later this month
and next, a lot of schools
will have to show their
cards early if they want to
stay in contention for
Whitlow’s services.
UAB’s 2017 class is
going to be the foundation
and with the new facilities
being built, this is a very
interesting opportunity,”
said Terrence Holloway.
“Today was a good experience but we have a few
more to go.”
think it’s a great opportunity for him, the coaches
seem close, like family.”
Mom, Pamela Whitlow
Holloway agrees, “I like
it, it’s a good school.”
UAB has much more
to offer Whitlow than just
an opportunity to play Division 1 football however.
“I like how the coaches
stressed academics,” said
Terrence Holloway. “They
talked about all of the tutoring opportunities Boobie could take advantage
of as a freshman.” And
what does Whitlow think.
“[UAB] has a good football program, the campus
and the academics are
good too,” he said by
phone Saturday night.
“The coaches were debating if I was going to play
on both sides of the ball if
I can there.”

Bulldogs going through
early season struggles
The LaFayette Bulldogs
baseball team has gotten off
to a rough start this season,
losing all of their three
games this season -twice to
Valley and at Wadley- but
are making strides according
to their coach. “I see a lot of
positives with the kids and
we may not have had success as far as wins [thus far]
but we’re adding pieces to
the puzzle,” says head coach
Michael Pattillo who also
coaches on James Lucas’
football staff at LaFayette
High.
Pattillo has seen steady
improvement at the plate and
in particular in the field. “In
the Wadley game I saw a lot
of improvement,” he said by
phone on Sunday afternoon.
“We put the ball in play and
made plays we were sup-
posed to make in the infield
and outfield. We even turned
a double-play.”
The Bulldogs have five
middle schoolers and four
freshmen on the roster this
season. Help is on the way
though, r egular contributors
and seniors Quentin Ray, a
Union College (Ky.) football
signee and LaCharles Turner
are back on the team after
the conclusion of basketball
season. Ray, third base, and
Turner, catcher, will both be
on the active roster for the
entirety of the regular season.
“One thing I have this
season that we may not have
had in past seasons are kids
that want to play and want to
win,” said Pattillo. The addition of Ray and Turner have
also ratcheted up the battles
for playing time with
younger players. “The
younger kids are responding
in practice and raising the
competition level,” says Pattillo.
The Bulldogs hosted regional foe Beulah on Tuesday, March 8 and play
Reeltown at home on
Wednesday, March 16. Before traveling to Horseshoe
Bend on March 17 to start a
home-and-home with the
Generals. Horseshoe Bend
will play at LaFayette on
Wednesday, March 23.
Baseball seasons are
marathons and coach Pattillo
knows it. “Our kids can tell
they’re getting better, we are
getting a chance [this season] to play a lot of young
players and it will benefit the
program down the road,”
said Pattillo. Pictured Left :

I started covering
LaFayette High School
football in August of 2015
and from the very beginning
of my time as a sports reporter, now Sports Editor, at
the The LaFayette Sun there
has been a steady stream of
community, let’s just call it
“verbal contributions”. If I
write a story about a particular Bulldogs players, or in
one case a particular fan, I
get Facebook and Twitter
feedback on how there
needs to be more written
about another player or
other fans. Damned if I do,
damned if I don’t.
“Dear Mr. Suggs, why
don’t you write more about
Chambers Academy?,” said
one email. “I understand
that you’re new around
here, but why don’t you
write more about Lanett
football?,” said another letter. Just last week I received
notification via Facebook
regarding my story on the
Story family and on a separate story I wrote on Lanett
High School state AHSAA
2A state championship
coach Richard Carter. The
commenter’s complaint:
Why so much newspaper
attention on Lanett folks?
My answer to that: People
are people and if their stories interest me and I feel
like they will be inspiring to
The LaFayette Sun readership -some of whom live in
Lanett (Gasp?)- then I’m
going to write those stories.
My job is to document
the happenings of the ath-
letes, their coaches and their
families within CHAMBERS COUNTY. With the
help of Advertising Director
and sometime photographer
Brooke Colley, I will try to
make our sports section and
Twitter feed (FOLLOW
@lsunnews) your go-to
place for all things city of
LaFayette and Chambers
County sports. Let’s use this
week’s section for example;
there is a story on LaFayette
High School quarterback
JaTarvious Whitlow, stories
on LaFayette High School
baseball and Chambers
Academy baseball and softball
Hang in there with me
Chambers Academy, bear
with me LHS, stick with me
Chambers County. I love
what
I do and try to bring that
passion to the Sun’s sports
section every week. I’m
going to make a better effort
of being in town more often
-at baseball games and at
track meets- and hope to be
able to sit with you and talk
about what you like most
about the paper and what
you think stinks (hopefully
nothing). Newspapers are a
huge part of my life and my
ultimate goal is to make the
LaFayette Sun a bigger part
of yours as well.
Follow me on Twitter
at @suggswriter and the
Sun at @lsunnews and on
Facebook. Let’s get this
conversation started again.
Hopefully you’ll be nicer
this time around.

Area Devotional Guide
Sweet Spring
By Roger Campbell
I’ve been meeting many people who are experiencing winter burnout (or freeze out). Even the south has had a winter to remember, featuring killer storms
that have just kept coming. Now it’s time to look past wintry blasts to sweet spring, the season of new life; the gentle time of the year, the season of love,
Good Friday and Easter.
Flowers and colorful blossoms are about to break forth in all their splendor, speaking of God’s love of beauty and His provision of these for us all.
But what if this breathtaking display that bursts forth every year during the delightful season called spring went unappreciated because we lacked the ability to take it in? What if our reception of these wonders was only in black and white?
Not a chance!
The Creator’s plan is complete, providing both natural beauty and the human capacity to enjoy and appreciate it. We can also learn from it.
Jesus urged those who were worried about financial problems to consider the beauty given to lilies in spite of their lack of labor (Matthew 6:26-27), teaching them to trust rather than tremble during tough times.
Then there is Solomon’s enduring poetic description of spring: “For, lo, the winter is past, the rain (or snow) is over and gone, the flowers appear on the
earth; the time of the singing of the birds is come, and the voice of the turtledove is heard in the land” (Song of Solomon 2;11-12).
The first day of spring is always special to me. I start the countdown at the beginning of each New Year and have generally reported the number of days
until spring to my congregations each week until it arrived. I once received a letter from a family of former members asking how many days remained until
spring.
Spring declares death can only win for a season and that life is always waiting in the wings to take the stage, so I keep trying to spread the good news.
“There are only a few more days until spring,” I tell people I meet. And you should see the looks I get.
“That’s only on the calendar,” some say, wondering how I can be so upbeat about the arrival of spring before the weather is spring like.
My reply is simple: when we enjoy the anticipation of spring, we’ll feel the balmy breezes and breathe in the aroma of flowers before they bloom.
Expectation enhances experience.
Dwight L. Moody, the nineteenth century’s most famous evangelist said, “After December 31st, winter’s back is broken.” At the end of every year, this
man of faith saw spring hurrying on its way to arrive on time: beautiful, life announcing, spring.
A moving line of composer John W. Peterson’s song “I BELIEVE IN MIRACLES” must have been inspired by his delight in the Designer’s spring extravaganza:
“I’ve seen the lily push its way up through the stubborn sod;
I believe in miracles for I believe in God.” I do too. How about you?

1.2 million voted
1.2 million people
showed up to vote in Alabama for the SEC Primary.
That's the biggest number
the state has ever seen in a
presidential primary.
Secretary of State John
Merrill believes the presidential candidates, and their
stops in Alabama, went a
long way to getting more
people to the polls.
“We would attribute it
to the SEC Primary,” Merrill Says. “We attribute it to
the enthusiasm that our people demonstrated as the
presidential
candidates
came to our state, as they
interacted with our people.
When all of the lead candidates had multiple visits to
Alabama, interacting with
our people on a personal
level, making sure that they
got to know them, understanding their philosophies
and ensuring that they
would participate.”
Storms delayed the reporting of some numbers
from Hale, Tallapoosa, and
Macon Counties.
Merrill says the numbers were counted before
election workers went home
Tuesday night, but were unable to be uploaded to this
website.

an arraignment. At the arraignment the accused entered a not guilty pleas
before Circuit Judge Tom F.
Young Jr. Gray is accused
of the murder of a young
Georgia woman who was
found in a Valley creek in
July dead after going missing for several days before.
Last month a grand jury indicted Gray for the murder
of Renee Eldridge. Renee
Eldridge was a young
woman from Columbus, Ga
who went missing early on
July 5th from a home in
Columbus. On July 7th her
body was discovered in Osanippa Creek in Valley. The
cause of death was later discovered to be blunt force
trauma. Gray was arrested
on July 11th after a chase by
several agencies for several
Services office in Birmingham visited the area on that
day to see if they could see
any evidence that would
support the theory that a
tornado had touched down
in the area.
Officials with the
NWS searched an area
north of Opelika and South
of LaFayette near Oak
Bowery Road and the
Robert Trent Jones Golf
Course the trail of damaged
extended to an area near
Andrews Road in Lee
County.
Officials from the
NWS did see enough signs
to support their theory and
announced that a small tornado with a rank of an EF0 had touched down in that
area. The EF-0 rating
means that winds with the
tornado reached speeds up
to 70 mph. luckily with the
storm there was no major
damage in the area and no
injuries most of the damage
was confined to downed
trees and limbs and some
scattered debris in the area.
Springtime is right
around the corner and in the
spring months tornadoes become more numerous with
strong style storm cells in
this region of the country. In
addition to the tornado near
the Lee-Chambers County
line two other tornadoes
touched down that day in Alabama one was an EF-2 in
Jefferson County and also an
EF-0 in Talladega County.
No injuries have been reported with any of the Alabama tornadoes last week.

Chambers County Extension News
By Ken McMillan-Chambers County Extension Coordinator
Get moving more!!!!!
In our busy lifestyles
of work, family, and other
responsibilities it seems
hard to find the time for
physical activity. According to Regional Extension
Agent Sheree Taylor, science-based research indicates there are numerous
benefits of physical activity
for any age, size, or gender.
Just because you don’t
want to lose weight doesn’t
mean you don’t need to get
moving! Here are some
benefits of moving more:
•Increase your chances
of living longer
•Feel better about
yourself
•Decrease
your
chances of becoming depressed
•Sleep well at night
•Move around more
easily
•Have stronger muscles and bones
•Stay at or get to a
healthy weight
•Decrease risk of Heart
Disease, stroke, & diabetes
Even if you only receive one of these great
benefits… your life can improve! More than likely,
you can receive several of
these benefits… from the
same physical activity effort.
We must use all of our
time wisely in order to incorporate the needed 30
minutes a day (for adults)
and 60 min of play (for
youth). Here’s one way to
make this actually happen:
While your kids are at
sports practice, walk
around the field or the parking lot, take 10 or 15 min-
utes of your lunch break to
walk around the facility, &
walk your neighborhood
with your family after dinner. Start small and increase your time and
distance each week, or as
tolerated. You want moderate/vigorous activity. Moderate activity is when you
can talk while doing the activity, but you can’t sing!
Vigorous activity is when
you can only say a few
words without stopping to
catch your breath. We
should make 10,000 steps a
day. You can download
many free apps to your
smart devices; use them to
see how many steps you’re
taking each day! Make realistic goals for yourself;
music is always a plus to
help you to get moving
more.
