Unclear state law may
affect some positions
BY RACHEL BROWN
rachelbrown@daltoncitizen.com
A new state law prohibits
school board members and superintendents
from having immediate
family members in high ranking
positions, but it’s unclear how the
law will affect at least two local
situations.
In the Whitfield County school
system, superintendent Katie

SPRING PLACE — Under the
unyielding Georgia sun, 10
cyclists of Cherokee descent
began a23-day, 900-mile quest to
retrace the brutal path their ancestors
made in the late 1830s — The
Trail of Tears.
The group of nine men and one
woman departed New Echota, the
original Cherokee nation capital,
Saturday morning on the
Brochu’s husband Lloyd is the
principal of Crossroads Academy,
where he has been for three years.
In Dalton Public Schools, board
member Mark Orr’s wife Laura
was promoted recently to a system-wide
position as Title 1director
after serving for 23 years as an
elementary school principal.
House Bill 251, which goes into
effect July 1, prevents superintendents
from serving if they have an
“Remember the Removal” ride,
pedaling 17 miles north to the
Chief Vann House outside of
Chatsworth to rest their legs during
alunch break. The Vann House
and its sprawling plantation was
built by James Vann, a noted
Cherokee leader and businessman.
The group will finish their route
on July 15 in Tahlequah, Okla., the
seat of tribal government for the
immediate family
member who
is a principal,
assistant principal
or system
administrator in
the same school
district. The
same rules apply
to school board
members.

Immediate family members are
defined as the person’s “spouse,
child, sibling, or parent, or the
spouse of achild, sibling, or parent.”
The law states the changes
won’t “affect the employment of
any person who is employed by a
local school system on or before
July 1, 2009, or who is employed
by alocal school system when an
immediate family member
becomes the superintendent for
that school system.”
What’s unclear to some
observers is whether contracts for
people in those situations can be
renewed after July 1.

Angela Palm said the organization’s
attorneys believe an argument
can be made that employees
BY JAKE COYLE
AP Entertainment Writer
It was the last day of shooting for aPepsi commercial at
the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles in 1984, and the only
hiccup had been an
argument between
Michael Jackson and an
ad executive over
whether the young
superstar would take off
his sunglasses.
“Then,”asthe executive
later wrote, “we set
his hair on fire.”
Jackson was
descending a staircase
in an extravagant,
pyrotechnic opening
sequence, dancing to
“Billie Jean,” when a
spark landed on his
head. Jackson cried out.
People nearby leapt on
him to put out the fire,
but Jackson was hospitalized
for days with a
burned scalp.
Thus began athread
of pain that ran through
aremarkable career —
and made painkillers all
too accessible.
Because of accidents,
frequent plastic surgery
and the sheer intensity of his dancing,
physical agony was the unshakable problem
with being Michael Jackson.
Medical examiners in Los Angeles are
perhaps weeks away from determining an
official cause of death, but officials did
say Friday that tests showed Jackson was
taking prescription medication.

Pastor welcomes guns,
their owners tochurch
LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP)
— Forone day,atleast, it was
OK to pack heat in church.
More than 200 people
answered gun-toting Pastor
KenPagano’scall to celebrate
the Second Amendment at
New Bethel Church in
Louisville on Saturday. There
wasjust one rule for the several
dozen who brought their
guns along: No bullets.
“We are wanting to send a
message that there are legal,
civil, intelligent and law-abiding
citizens who also own
guns,” Pagano said during the
90-minute event, which was
open to the public. “If it were
not for adeep-seated belief in
the right to bear arms, this
country would not be here
today,” he told the crowd,
drawing hearty applause and
exclamations of “Amen!”
The “Open Carry
Celebration” included ahandgun
raffle, patriotic music and
TODAY’S CITIZEN
screening of gun safety
videos. Some gun owners carried
old-fashioned six-shooters
in leather holsters, while
others packed modern policestyle
firearms. Kentucky
allows residents to openly
carry guns in public with
some restrictions.
“I just believe in the right
to protect ourselves,” said Liz
Boyer, who had abright pink
Glock in ablack holster at her
side. The 41-year-old isn’t a
member of the church but
teaches aclass on gun safety
for women at alocal range.
BrittanyRogers, 23, feared
guns as achild. But her fiance
encouraged her to go sport
shooting with him about a
year ago, and she said she has
been hooked ever since. On
Saturday,she brought her tiny
Kel-Tec P-32 to church.
“It was a fear of the
unknown,” Rogers said, “but
nowIlove it.”

Pagano’s Protestant
church, which attracts up to
150 people to Sunday services
in a conservative neighborhood
of southwest Louisville,
belongs to the Assemblies of
God. He thought up the event
after some church members
expressed concern about the
Obama administration’s
views on gun control, though
the president hasn’t moved to
put newrestrictions on ownership.
Across town, acoalition of
peace and church groups concerned
about Pagano’s appeal
to gun owners staged their
owngun-free event.
“I think when people first
learned about this invitation to
wear guns to church, many
people were deeply troubled,”
said Terry Taylor, one of the
organizers. “The idea of wearing
guns to churches or any
sacred space I think many
people find deeply troubling.”
No insurance
Here is the reason why
health-care reformers want to
mandate that people buy coverage:
The Agency for
Healthcare Research and
Quality reports that, in 2006, 5
million Americans aged 19-23
had no health insurance, more
than 80 percent were working
at least part time and 30 percent
said they did not think
health insurance wasworth the
cost.
And yes, young men were
nearly twice as likely as young
women to go without health
coverage for the entire year.

can keep their same jobs.
“But there is still that
question,” she added. “I’m
not sure what the legislative
intent was there.”
State Sen. Don Thomas,
who voted for the bill, said
he also isn’t sure. He said
the issue never arose during
debates he heard. Thomas
said he knows of no problems
from the Brochus or
Orrs holding top positions in
the same school system, but
that he voted for the bill
because he believes there is
the potential for problems.
“I would imagine that for
contracts that were already
in existence it would be difficult
to not renew those
contracts,” hesaid.
Katie Brochu said the
school system’s attorneys
are looking into the matter.
Lloyd Brochu’sdirect supervisor
is assistant superintendent
Dusty Brown, she
said. She said she never
directly supervises her husband
and does not see the
relationship as aconflict.
Crossroads Academy is
an alternative school jointly
run by the Whitfield school
system and Dalton Public
Schools. Lloyd Brochu’s
salary is paid by the county
school system.
Laura Orr said she and
her husband haven’t had to
deal with conflicts of interest
related to their positions.
She was aneducator several
years before her husband
waselected, and she said she
and her husband don’t discuss
school system policy
very much.
“I don’t think I would
talk to him any differently
than Iwould talk with anybody
else,” she added.
“Most of the time we just try
to not talk about things like
that.”
RIF fairness
Fred Gould, director of
the local chapter of the
Georgia Association of
Educators, said nepotism
has been an issue in school
systems everywhere for a
long time, but isoften difficult
to prove. Gould said he
fields complaints about decisions
“that seem to favor
family members of board
members.”
At a time when many
Georgia schools are slashing
jobs, family members of
several local school board
Whitfield County Schools
members have still found
work.

from next year’s payroll. It’s
part of an overall effort to
eliminate 34.5 teaching
positions because of state
funding cuts and an increase
in class sizes.
In afew cases, teachers
with no experience were
hired for the upcoming year
while veterans with more
than 25 years’ experience
were let go. Superintendent
Brochu said the deciding
factors often are certification,
expertise and effectiveness
rather than years of
service and level ofeducation.
Under the school system’s
reduction in force
(RIF) policy adopted in
March, principals recommend
their staffselections to
the superintendent, the
superintendent makes recommendations
to the board
of education, and the board
members make the final
decisions. Dalton’s school
board has asimilar policy.
Emily Tarter, a 30-year
teacher who was most
recently employed at the
Whitfield Career Academy,
said it was asurprise when
her contract was not
renewed for next year
because of the reduction in
force. Principal Phillip
Brown said Tarter’s job was
eliminated because the
school cut the drafting program
she taught due to low
interest.
“It’s supposed to be pretty
much because ofbudget
problems from my understanding,”
Tarter said. “Is
that true or not? I don’t
know ... When there are
budget problems and economic
problems, everyone
has to bite the bullet.”
Of the five Whitfield
board members, three have
immediate family members
employed in the school system
as teachers or paraprofessionals.
All except Jerry
Nealey’s daughter-in-law,
Laura, were hired for the
first time before the board
members were elected.
Dalton board of education
member Tulley Johnson
said he’s never been questioned
about the fact his wife
teaches in the school district
for which he sets policy. He
has served nine years, and
his wife has taught 31 years.
Many board members during
his three terms have had
family members who are
school employees, he said.
“We just don’t look at
whether it’s your aunt or
uncle or niece or cousin,” he
said. “That’s not important.
We think about the vision of
the school district and how
the person will (best serve
the students).”
Board member
relationships
Palm said alaw passed in
2000 requires board members
to abstain from voting
on the employment of
immediate family members.
Laura Nealey has taught
in the school system for nine
years while Jerry Nealey has
been on the school board for
16 years. He said he believes
the system works well in
preventing favoritism from
being shown to board members’
or administrators’ relatives
since board members
must abstain from voting.

Amanda Thomas has

one of their children,
according to her husband.
John Thomas has served on

“Is that unethical that she
has a job with the school

he said. “I knowshe’sa

Balancing act
There’s nothing inherently
wrong with administrators
or school board members
having family members
in the same school district,
Palm said.
“For instance, do we find
it odd if medicine runs in
the family? Do we find it
odd if law runs in the family?”
she said. “Those professions
tend to run
throughout families, so it’s
not uncommon to have educators
whose children want
to be educators.”
The flip side to the new
law isthat it could discourage
some talent from staying
in the community, Palm
said. Many educators want
to live and work where they
grew upsothey can be near
family, she said.
“If someone wants to be
a teacher, but they know
theywould neverbeallowed
to rise to aleadership position
because, for instance,
their parent or in-law is a
superintendent there, are
they going to come back?”
she said. “So you’re losing a
talent pool potential with
this.”
Tunnel Hill resident
Shelia Harrington, who has
elementary age grandchildren
in the Whitfield system,
said she doesn’t see aproblem
with having superintendents
or board members
with relatives inthe system.
“I think that people
should be able to work even
if they are related,” she said.
Dalton resident Tony
Rainey said there is apotential
for aconflict of interest.
“But most of the time
when you’ve got people in
the same job or system,
they’re not really around
each other that much anyway,”
headded.
The new law doesn’t
address all situations involving
family members, only
those in high ranking positions.
Gould said he’s seen
situations where the community
believed favoritism
was being shown at lower
levels. The only way tostop
nepotism is to establish and
document a pattern of
favoritism and then speak
out against it, he said.
“The question becomes,
‘How willing are people to
pursue it?’” he said.

Dark days
for liberty
The U.S. House of Representatives, at the urging
of President Barack Obama and speaker Nancy
Pelosi, passed the so-called “cap and trade” energy
policy onFriday. With aminimum of study and
debate, the Democratic majority OK’d amassive
piece of legislation which has the potential to
greatly retard the U.S. economy and raise the cost
of energy for averageAmericans.
The legislation itself is bad. But the haste with
which the Democrats moved toapprove it is even
more worrisome.
Politics, instead of good policy making, triumphed.
Will the same script be used when it comes to
heath care legislation?
President Obama is reveling in the power that
comes with his majorities in the House and Senate.
What’s more, he is using that power to successfully
ram through highly important legislation.
Health care, however, promises tobeatougher
nut to crack for Democrats.
There is more built-in cynicism about the government’s
role in health care, both in Congress and
the general population. Also, opposition to the
majority party’splans is better organized and funded.
We are very concerned that the American health
care system is facing atakeoverbythe federal government.
That is the aim of many Democrats,
though they make arguments to the contrary, and
based on the brutally effective way inwhich they
movedtomake“cap and trade” into law, we do not
believe our concern is ill-founded.
These are grim days for American citizens who
believe in limited government, free enterprise and
individual liberty.

So much owed...
The Stuka dive bombers
that attacked England in the
summer of 1940 didn’t have
the Jericho Trumpets (sirens)
which had terrified thousands
of continental
Europeans in the earliest
days of the German
blitzkrieg.
But the Stukas did have
500-pound bombs with
which their crews expected
to blast England to its knees
and quickly end the conflict
which later grew into World
WarII.
Today many people
assume that the outcome of
the 1939-1945 war was a
given, that no matter what
the cost, the Allies were destined
to win. And in the
United States we have an
unfortunate tendency to
diminish the role played by
our allies.
But at the end of the war,
no nation stood taller than
Winston Churchill’s
England. And England’s
finest hourly truly came in
the summer months of 1940.
Let me set the scene.
The continent was controlled
by Germany. The
Allies had expected to hold
the line in France, much as
they had in World War I,
while mobilizing their forces
as rapidly as possible.
But the inventive German
offensive, coupled with a
collapse in will of the French
government, led to a rapid
and stunning victory that
chased England completely
off the continent. The defeat
shocked the fledgling
Churchill government and
brought about the very real
prospect of aGerman invasion
of the British Isles.
At first Hitler proceeded
cautiously, apparently in
hopes that the British would
return to the bargaining
table. But as it became
increasingly evident that the
Churchill government would
carry on the war, Hitler made
the decision to unleash his
vaunted Luftwaffe.
Hitler and Luftwaffe boss
Herman Goering devised a

Really, there should be atemplate for
politicians who hold press conferences to
confess to sexual dalliances.
We’ve run the gamut from former
President Clinton’s defiant “I-did-nothave-sex-with-that-woman”
mantra in
the Roosevelt Room of the White House
and belabored parsing of “it depends on
what the meaning of the word ‘is’ is” to
South Carolina Republican Gov. Mark
Sanford’s weird “I-spent-the-last-fivedays-of-my-life-crying-in-Argentina”
confession in the Columbia state capitol.
As apeople bound together by cable
TV shows and tabloid headlines, we’ve
had so much experience watching these
dreadful confessional performances that
they have become anational, bipartisan
ritual. We should set standards, to wit:
■ Do not bring the injured spouse.
There was national relief that Sanford
at least did not drag his wife along with
him as he apologized to everyone he’d
ever met or who ever set foot in achurch
for eight minutes before admitting he’d
been cheating on his wife. Who can forget
the national agony ofwatching the
wife of James McGreevey, then the
Democratic governor of New Jersey,
standing beside him as he told his state
that he was gay and detailed his affair
with amale aide? To preserve some semblance
of dignity, the dutiful spouse
should remain dutifully out of the picture.
■ Do not go into convoluted explanations.
Idaho Republican Sen. Larry Craig’s
explanation that he has a“wide stance”

plan to
destroy
British air
defenses,
thus giving
t h e
Germans
control of
the skies
and clearing
the way
for acrosschannel
invasion.
Hitler
a n d
Goering were right to launch
their air offensive, but
among their later errors of
judgment was one huge mistake
— they underestimated
their foe’s willingness and
ability to fight.
The ill-prepared British
Army had been beaten
soundly in France and was
last seen desperately fleeing
the continent at Dunkirk.
But the Royal Air Force
was another matter.
The RAF fighter pilots
who took to the skies to battle
the Germans were abrave
crowd. What’s more, they
were well organized and
well led. They knew the crucial
importance of their task
and rose to the occasion in
the best tradition of the
English fighting man.
“England expects that
every man will do his duty,”
Admiral Nelson said at the
Battle of Trafalgar in 1805.
England asked the same
of its flyboys in 1940 and
was not disappointed.
It didn’thurt that the Brits
benefited enormously from
two technological advantages.
First, the world’s first
early warning radar system
installed all along the coast,
though far from perfected,
gave the British ahuge tactical
boost. Roughly speaking,
they knew where and when
the German planes would
arrive over British soil.
Second, in the
Supermarine Spitfire and the
Hawker Hurricane the Brits
had two lethal fighter
planes.
Yet the advantage that
mattered most to RAF,
according to the fine book
“With Wings Like Eagles”
by Michael Korda, was the
leadership of Air Chief
Marshall Hugh Dowding,
who did amasterful job of
building up the nation’s air
defenses in the face of fierce
internalpolitics in the British
High Command.
The eccentric Dowding
was a“my way orthe highway”
leader, utterly convinced
that his theories on
fighting the Germans were
the only option for successful
defense.
While this attitude eventually
ended his career in the
service, at the time he was
needed most — in those
bloody, frightful days of the
German Blitz — Dowding’s
leadership and tactics proved
invaluable.
Time and again the
Luftwaffe leadership convinced
itself that the RAF
was spent, but each time the
Brits fought back ferociously.
And it was not just pilots
in the air.Thousands of military
personnel and civilian
volunteers — men and
women — worked diligently
and often heroically in completing
the thousand tasks
which stitched together led
to an improbable and
astounding victory.
Due to those efforts, there
was noinvasion of England.
Hitler shelved his plans and
fatefully turned his attention
to the Russian Bear.
Though still early in the
war, Churchill sensed the
historic importance of what
the RAF had accomplished.
“Never in the field of
human conflict was somuch
owed by so many tosofew,”
the British leader said.
Sixty-nine years later, on
a beautiful summer day in
Dalton, Ga., USA, those fine
words still ring gloriously
true.
Really. And Sanford’s
explanation that he
had had avery close
friendship with a
woman trying to save
her marriage in
Argentina for years
before it became a
romance was too tortured
for comfort.

THE DAILY CITIZEN
TODAY IN HISTORY
Today is Sunday, June
28, the 179th day of 2009.
There are 186 days left in
the year.
Highlights in History:
On June 28, 1919, the
Treaty of Versailles was
signed in France, ending
World War I. In
Independence, Mo., future
president Harry S. Truman
married Elizabeth Virginia
Wallace.
On this date:
In 1491, England’s King
Henry VIII was born at
Greenwich.
In 1778, the
Revolutionary War Battle
of Monmouth took place in
New Jersey; it was from
this battle that the legend of
“Molly Pitcher” arose.
In 1838, Britain’sQueen
Victoria was crowned in
Westminster Abbey.
In 1914, Archduke
Franz Ferdinand of Austria
and his wife, Sophie, were
assassinated in Sarajevo by
a Serb nationalist — the
event which sparked World
WarI.
In 1939, Pan American
Airways began regular
trans-Atlantic air service
with aflight that departed
New York for Marseilles,
France.
In 1950, North Korean
forces captured Seoul, the
capital of South Korea.
Ten years ago:
Announcing even bigger
projected budget surpluses,
President Bill Clinton said
the government could drastically
reduce the national
debt while still buttressing
Social Security and
Medicare.
Five years ago: The
U.S.-led coalition transferred
sovereignty to the
interim Iraqi government
two days ahead of schedule.
The Supreme Court
ruled that the waronterrorism
did not give the government
a “blank check” to
hold aU.S. citizen and foreign-born
terror suspects in
legal limbo.
One year ago:
Presidential rivals John
McCain and Barack Obama
vied for the support of
Hispanics in separate
appearances before the
National Association of
Latino Elected and
Appointed Officials conference
in Washington, with

The governor’s
mansion, the White
House, the state capitol building, the
steps of the Capitol — all have been
stages for unseemly, tearful confessions
of unfaithfulness. Enough. Either have a
press aide issue astatementorrent ahotel
ballroom if you are going to take questions.
■ If you’re going to resign, do it right
away.
The bathos of the politician clinging
frantically to ajob for which he/she is no
longer suited is grim. If you’ve broken
the law orbetrayed the trust of your constituents
and staff (such as being AWOL
for six days or, inthe case of Florida
Republican Mark Foley sending risque
messages to underage male congressional
pages), get it over with and resign.
Dragging it out for days or even weeks
should not be an option.
■ Do not showcase hypocrisy.
Sen. Robert Ensign, R-Nev., who
recently admitted tohaving anine-month
affair with acampaign staffer, Sanford,
Craig and Foley all voted to impeach
Clinton over the Monica Lewinsky scandal.
All tried to hang on to their jobs after
being caught. Sen. David Vitter, R-La., a
defender of traditional marriage while a
client of aprominent D.C. prostitute, is
running for reelection despite having
called on Clinton to resign. In addition,
Foley was chairman of aHouse committee
on exploited children. Craig is an outspoken
critic of homosexuality. Ensign is
afamily-values politician.
■ Do not blame the media.
Craig, with his wife by his side as he
insisted he was not gay although he had
pleaded guilty to soliciting sexinapublic
bathroom, said he was the victim of a
“witch hunt” by the Idaho Statesman.
Although Sanford’s local paper sat for
months on amorous e-mails he wrote his
mistress, he implied that he had to have
the press conference because he’d been
caught returning from Argentina over
Father’s Day weekend in the Atlanta airport
by areporter.
■ Arrogance and pleading for forgiveness
should not go hand in hand.
Democrat Eliot Spitzer, former New
York governor, held hands with his wife
during his press conference admitting
that he had been caught on afederal wiretap
arranging to meet ahigh-priced prostitute
at aWashington hotel. He called the
incident a “private matter” and apologized
to his family and the people of New
York. When areporter asked if he would
resign, he slammed the door. Later, he
resigned.

Cherokee Nation.
“No one in my family has
been to these sites since the
removal,”said Wyatt Collins,
a20-year-old college student
from Chelsea, Okla. “I like
learning about my culture
and knowing my Native
American roots, along with
German and Irish. Ialso reenact,
so I’m kind of living
this. They (his Cherokee
ancestors) did it during the
winter and we’re doing it in
the summer,but it’sthe same
amount of miles. It’s tough.
It’s agood learning experience.”
The Trail of Tears took
place during the winter
months of 1838 through
1839. Some 16,000
Cherokees were forced by
the U.S. government to leave
their homes, farms and communities.
They were held in
federal stockades until deep
winter, then moved through
territories that are now
Arkansas, Illinois, Kentucky,
Missouri and Tennessee. It’s
estimated more than 4,000
Cherokees died on the trek.
The riders planned to
wrap up the first leg ofthe
trip by spending the night in
Red Clay,which wasthe seat
of Cherokee government
from 1832 until 1838. The
journey also commemorates
the first “Remember the
Removal” bicycle ride 25
years ago that young
Cherokees took from
Cherokee, N.C., to
Tahlequah, Okla.
On the way tothe final
destination of Tahlequah, the
group will travel between 40
miles and 70 miles each day.
To deal with the heat, they
take breaks about every 20
minutes and have stops built
in to see historic sites along
the way, such as the Vann
House. Collins said the
Georgia heat in the low-90s
is actually cooler than back
home in Oklahoma, where
temperatures are above 100
NEW YORK (AP) —
Police shot and wounded an
armed man during abrazen

plains of Oklahoma so all of
these hills are asight to see.”
Dodging tractor trailers
on two-lane roads proved to
be challenging on the first
day, riders said. And there
have been some bumps
already. The youngest
cyclist, 16-year-old Jonny
Christie, crashed on the way
to the Vann House. Outside
of ascratch on his chin —
and perhaps a little bit of
embarrassment — he was

WASHINGTON (AP) —
Hailing the House, President
Barack Obama put pressure
on senators Saturday to follow
its lead and pass legislation
to limit greenhouse gas
emissions, helping usher the
U.S. into anew age of energy
efficiency.
“Now my call to every
senator, aswell as to every
American, is this:Wecannot
be afraid of the future. And
we must not be prisoners of
the past,” the president said
in his weekly radio and
Internet address. “Don’t
believe the misinformation
out there that suggests there
is somehow acontradiction
between investing in clean
energy and economic
growth. It’s just not true.”
The legislation, which the
House narrowly approved
Friday night, would place the
first national limits on emissions
of greenhouse gases
from major sources — such
as power plants, factories
and oil refineries — to
reduce the gases linked to
global climate change. It
would also start moving the
U.S. away from fossil fuels
and toward cleaner power
sources, such as geothermal,
wind, solar and more nuclear
generators.
The potential impact on
people’s daily lives isgreat.
If the proposal, which faces
an uncertain fate in the
Senate, were to become law,
it could make itmore expensive
for people to heat, cool
and light their homes; mean
more smaller, fuel efficient
and hybrid electric cars; and
create more “green” jobs, or
environmentally friendly
ones. Windmills and solar
panels might replace smokestacks.
The complex bill, would
require the U.S. to reduce
carbon dioxide and other
greenhouse gas emissions by
17 percent from 2005 levels
by 2020 and by 83 percent
by midcentury.
Opponents complain
about the costs and say some
industries will simply move
their operations and jobs out
of the U.S. to countries that
don’tcontrol greenhouse-gas
emissions.
House Democratic leaders
said the bill helped
accomplish one of Obama’s
campaign promises and
would makethe U.S. aleader
in international efforts to
address climate change when
negotiations take place in
Denmark this year.
“We passed transformational
legislation, which will
take usinto the future,” said
House Speaker Nancy
Pelosi, D-Calif., after the
219-212 vote.
Success will be tougher in
the Senate. Majority Leader
Harry Reid says he wants to
take upthe legislation by the
fall. Sixty votes will be needed
to overcome any
Republican filibuster.

Georgia artist Margaret Morrison poses in front of
her recent work “Cupcakes” which was exhibited at
the Woodward Gallery show “Larger than Life” in
NewYork City.
Morrison to judge
Festival 2009
SUBMITTED BY THE
CREATIVE ARTS GUILD
Margaret Morrison,
acclaimed artist and arts educator,
has been selected as
the judge for the Creative
Arts Guild’s Festival 2009
juried exhibit and artist market.
“We are simply thrilled to
have an artist of Margaret
Morrison’s caliber as our
judge this year,” said Terry
Tomasello, executive director
of the Creative Arts
Guild. “Her recent exhibit in
New York City received
national media attention and
pieces were sold to several
international collectors.”
Morrison currently serves
as senior lecturer at the
University of Georgia’s
Lamar Dodd School of Art,
where she has taught since
2001. She has previously
taught at the University of
Utah, the University of Texas
and West Virginia University.
She earned her bachelor’s in
fine arts and master’s infine
arts at the University of
Utah.
Her 2009 show at the
Woodward Gallery
(www.woodwardgallery.net)
in New York, “Larger Than
Life,” attracted national
attention for its oversized
images of comfort foods.
The work was hailed as a
strong artistic response to the
most basic sources of comfort
during a time of economic
recession. Galleries
have presented more than 25
solo exhibitions of
Morrison’s works, and she
has participated in more than
30 group exhibitions around
the country.
“I am fascinated by the
strength of Morrison’s technique
and her ability to reenergize
the still life genre
by giving it atotally contemporary
spin,” said Robert
Webb, chair of the 2009
Festival indoor exhibit. “Her
work enjoys such broad
appeal because of the vibrancy
of her colors and the
incredibly realistic detail of
her subject matter.”
Morrison’s work has been
featured or reviewed in The
NewYork Times, ARTNews,
Smithsonian Magazine, Art
&Antiques, New York Arts,
Oxford American, Soho
Journal, NewYork Press,Art
Now Gallery Guide, Georgia
Review, ArtSpeak and NY
Arts.
Artists’ work is still being
accepted for the Festival
2009 indoor showand for the
open air artist market.
Applications can be found at
www.creativeartsguild.org
and digital images may be
submitted in lieu of slides.
“Wehavebeen very excited
to see several new entries
for this year’s indoor show,”
said Webb. “I was also
delighted to see some local
artists submitting work for
the first time. That’s just a
testament to the talent in our
area.”
Artists
from
Pennsylvania, Michigan,
Wisconsin, NewJersey, Ohio
and Texas have already submitted
entries, and
Tomasello believes that the
show’s reputation is attracting
abroader range of artists.
“We’re seeing a significant
interest from new
artists,” said Tomasello. “I
think that this year’sdecision
to have realistic work (landscape,
still life, figurative)
has added focus to the show,
and it clearly has brought us
new attention. The work is
really strong, too, and that’s
always gratifying. We want
to offer this community the
best possible artwork.”

Raleigh News and Observer
Te nagging, sagging
economy has intruded in one
more place: America’s bedroom.
Some couples are so
scared of conceiving abankbreaking
baby that they’re
taking extra birth control.
Others have declared an outright
moratorium on getting
pregnant and are taking
extreme measures to make
sure one doesn’t slip past.
Those still eager to get pregnant
are rushing to fertility
clinics to take advantage of
health insurance in case they
lose it during alayoff.
“It’s the season for family
planning,” said Paige
Johnson of Planned
Parenthood of Central North
Carolina. “Our patients are
adamant about not getting
pregnant. They are so concerned,
they are doubling up
on birth control.”
If history is aguide, the
nation will likely see adrop
in babies born in the coming
years. Tragedy and war
breed baby booms; an economic
hardship tends to
cause a bust. The Great
Depression in the 1930s
brought asteep drop; women
went from having an average
of three children to two.
Each of the last four recessions
brought dips in the
number of women delivering
achild.
For many families, this is
wartime, with deployments
to Iraq and Afghanistan,
punctuated by the typical
homecoming nesting rituals.
For most, though, this is a
time of acute economic
stress.
It’s too soon to tell
whether we’re in for ababy
bust. Newborns arriving now
were conceived around
October, inthe heart of the
season when the federal government
began acknowledging
that the United States
was inarecession.
In such private affairs of
sex and birth control, evidence
can be hard to come
by. Some signs, however, are
cropping up in pharmacy
aisles and in the privacy of
doctors’ offices.
Condom sales have
jumped. Nationally, 6.4 percent
more condoms were
sold in the first three months
of the year compared with
the same period in 2008,
according to a report by
Nielsen Co., which tracks
consumer spending.
Analysts link two factors:
Families are opting for
cheaper birth control and
couples are being extra careful,
doubling up on protection.
All agree it’s asign that
America’s libido is alive and
well in these trying times.
Those craving sex seem
to be putting up all the barriers
to conception.
In Durham and Chapel
Hill, N.C., for example,
Planned Parenthood clinics
have noticed asharp increase
in requests for the morningafter
pill, an emergency contraceptive
that can prevent
Sunday, June 28, 2009 7A
Economy giving birth to baby bust?
pregnancy iftaken within 72
hours after intercourse. The
Durham clinic has dispensed
591 pills this year, a22percent
increase. The Chapel
Hill clinic has given out
1,105 pills, ajump of 12 percent.
Planned Parenthood’s
Johnson said that, by and
large, these are not “oops”
situations, wrought with
regret and confusion after
unprotected intercourse.
These patients, Planned
Parenthood has observed,
already use another form of
birth control.
“They have this sense of
urgency,” Johnson said.
“They are very committed to
not getting pregnant. They
are backing up another
means of birth control.”

What does it take tosave
money onyour homeowners
insurance at a time when
every penny counts?
The first thing we usually
say is raise your deductible
because the more risk one
shares with the
insurer, the less the
cost of coverage.
However, there are
manyother ways to
work with your
insurer to decrease
your risk and save
money.
One of the most
effective is to not
only have a functioning
burglar
alarm system butto
make sure the system
includes
smoke detectors to quickly
detect fires. Just adding
smoke detectors in your
home can qualify for a5percent
discount or more.
Agood alarm system can
save lives and most likely
qualifies your home for a
discount from your homeowners
insurer. If you can
spend money tosave money,
more sophisticated systems
including fire sprinklers can
bring a15to20percent discount,
but before buying
high-end systems, check
with your insurer to know
exactly what discounts
would apply and how much
can be saved.
Another possible discount
to reduce your annual cost is
to stay with your insurer for
at least three to five years.
Additionally, if you have
multiple policies with the
same insurer like auto and
homeowners, life or umbrella
liability, you could save
between 5and 15 percent.
Here’s one that is becoming
more important as the
population ages. Those who
retire or are close to retirement
age can enjoy yet
another benefit. For retired
homeowners 55 or older,
check with your insurance
agent about adiscount of up
to 10 percent from some
insurers.
Amajor step to obtaining
the lowest cost of homeowners
insurance is to talk with
your agent or company and
make sure that you are
receiving as many discounts
INSIDE INSURANCE
Tips to save money on
homeowners insurance

Colmans
as your insurer has to offer.
That is one reason why
homeowners are encouraged
to talk with their agent or
company annually oratleast
every two years. Keep in
mind it is the homeowner’s
responsibility to
keep up with the
various coverages,
available discounts
and options. This is
the heart of being an
informed consumer.
Here are a few
reasons why:
■ Review your
coverage to make
sure your coverage
is adequate. Keep in
mind that damage to
your home typically
requires demolition
and then reconstruction. You
are not insuring your land,
but the home that is on your
land. Building costs are key
rather than so-called market
value.
■ Make sure to have an
accurate home inventory so
you can account for the cost
of your personal property.
We buy items and often sell
some of our belongings at
garage sales. Only insure
those items that you own.
This is another good reason
to keep in contact with your
agent or insurer. See the free
“Home Inventory” link at
www.giis.org.
■ Make sure you have
adequate liability coverage
should someone become
injured on your property,ora
pet bites someone.
■ In hurricane-prone
areas, you may receive additional
discounts for wind
resistant windows or retrofitting
projects to help your
home withstand high winds.
Check with your insurer to
find out what improvement
projects qualify for discounts.
The more you knowabout
your homeowners insurance,
and what it does and does not
cover, the better off you are
and you can save money in
the process.

Chicago cops from 1968
convention hold reunion
CHICAGO (AP) — There
wasnotear gasanywhere, and
some of those who showed up
for a reunion of Chicago
Police officers who worked
during the 1968 Democratic
National Convention hung up
their badges — and their billy
clubs — along time ago.
But if this looked likejust a
gathering of retirees who
came to knock back a few
drinks and swap stories Friday
night — “I wasjust looking to
see who’s still alive,” joked
retired patrolman Jeff Norris
— it was much more than
that.
Between men who almost
spit out words like “scum” to
describe demonstrators who
descended on the city 41 years
ago to the small crowd of protesters
across the street, it was
clear the days when the streets
became a battlefield remain
one of the most divisive chapters
in Chicago history.
From the former cops
came recollections, one after
another, about what the cameras
didn’t capture, what the
world didn’t see on television
along with the images of
police wading into crowds of
protesters, knocking them
down and bloodying them
with flailing billy clubs.
They told of bags of urine
and feces, and bricks that
were thrown at them, the
heavy glass ashtrays dropped
on them from hotel windows
high above, the nail-spiked
rubber balls left behind their
car tires and sometimes
thrown at them.
And they dismissed any
talk of a“police riot,” asa
commission famously called
the scene, speaking with pride
about how they conducted
themselves.
“We were doing what we
were supposed to do,” said
John Murray, a 62-year-old
retired detective. “No
regrets.”
It wasabsolute chaos, they
said, but they did not lose
control even when faced with
situations they never thought
they’d ever see.
Like the woman disguised
as a nun who punched Joe
Mescall when the young
patrolman wouldn’t let her
into the Conrad Hilton Hotel
where he was stationed.
Mescall laughed when he
told of responding with a
punch that was hard enough
that she “landed on her keister
right on Michigan
Avenue,” but he turned serious
when he said that neither
he nor anyofhis fellow“coppers”
pulled their guns.
“Not one shot was fired,”
he said, asentiment echoed
several times.
On the other side of the
street, protesters say all this
talk about doing their job and
putting the blame for the rioting
on the demonstrators
amounts to a whitewash of
history.

Video gaming takes hit in recession
BY BRIAN BETHEL
Scripps Howard News
Video games still have
plenty of extra lives to
spend, analysts who watch
the industry say.
But video gaming, long
considered to be at least
somewhat recession-proof,
has suffered declining sales
in recent months, with
May’soverall sales down 23
percent compared with the
same time last year.
“The video games industry
continues to struggle
with difficult comparisons to
last year, and this is the first
month that industry sales
have dipped below$1billion
since August 2007,” said
Anita Frazier,avideo games
industry analyst for the NPD
Group, which tracks video
games and other industries.
Part of the blame may
rest squarely on the current
selection of titles, which has
failed to produce a highly
anticipated hit such as last

whether there are

“There is very little that
can be considered recessionproof,
particularly when it

as video games,
he said.
Recessions are characterized
by job loss, a rising
unemployment rate and,
importantly, acontraction in
spending by business and
households, Ingham said.
“In terms of discretionary
spending, there is
frankly very little that could
be considered off-limits,”he
said. “So, arecession, and
in particular a relatively

to affect spending on a

which includes music, videos
and games, Frazier said in a
recent news release examining
gaming’s popularity versus

“While a portion of that

Canteen uncorks 1860s history
BY JENNIFER BRETT
The Atlanta Journal-
Constitution
MARIETTA — One of
the Confederacy’slast battlefield
triumphs was over. All
around Kennesaw Mountain,
weary young men in butternut
had held off Sherman’s
better armed soldiers before
the Union’s march on to
Atlanta. Now, at CSA Gen.
Joseph Johnston’s command
near the signal post tree, the
men were tearing up floorboards
to build coffins. In the
din, no one noticed acanteen
that went missing ...
Maybe that’s what happened.
Or did it go something
like this?
The warhad been overfor
five years. The former soldier,looking
to feed his family,
hired on to help rebuild
the house by the old signal
post tree, one of many that
Sherman had burned as his
soldiers left Kennesaw
Mountain. The site of
Johnston’s former headquarters
was the first Marietta
home rebuilt after the war.
The vet was so glad to have
work, he didn’t remember
setting his canteen down
We may never know how
it got there, but aCivil War
era canteen was discovered
the other day by the presentday
owner of Marietta’s historic
McDonald-Lawrence-
Sessions House, a Gothic
Revival style dwelling several
prominent families have
called home over the years.
It’s onthe market, and with
the floor in an upstairs bedroom
sagging like a soup
bowl, Harry Norman agent
Johnny Sinclair suggested
that client Mark Kirk consider
repairs. The 139-year-old
heart pine boards were
wrenched up to reveal an
object about the size and
color of awood turtle.
“I didn’t make the connection
to the Civil Warright
away,” Kirk said.
Kirk’s carpenter, Sonny
Mordt, did. His father, Gene
Mordt, is ahistory buff, and
after the elder Mordt
declared it aCivil Warrelic,
Kirk consulted Marietta
Museum of History director
Dan Cox to be sure.
“I don’t think I’ve seen
one like that in many, many
years,” Cox said. “Usually
when you find them, they’re
in terrible shape.”
Fabric covering the tin
drum is in good condition on
one side but water-damaged
on the other.The cork is long
gone, making for another
tantalizing discovery.
Someone made asubstitute
by rolling up a length of
paper or newsprint. Kirk
would like tofind an expert
who could restore the paper,
in hopes of reading any writing
it might contain.
“My theory is you had a
Confederate veteran working
as a carpenter and set it
down,”said Kirk, who hasn’t
decided whether to donate
the item to a museum, or
hold on to it.

No garbage, recycling pickup Friday
In observance of the Fourth of July, the
city of Dalton Public Works Department will
be closed on Friday, July 3. Friday’s garbage
and recycling will be picked up on Thursday,
July 2.
Monday through Thursday’s garbage and
recycling will be picked up on the regularly
scheduled days.
Cox took another stab at
how it came to rest in the
second floor of the home,
completed in 1878 to replace
the one burned by Sherman’s
army and last restored in
1977.
“It’s entirely possible that
soldiers ripped the original
floorboards from the floor to
use for coffins,” Cox said.
“Your mind goes nuts over
stuff like this. We’ll never

really know. That’sthe fun of
it.”
Cox, whose museum
includes anumber of Civil
Warartifacts, would be glad
to welcome another addition,
but knows it’s ingood hands
for now.
“I knowit’ll be well cared
for,” he said. “I’m glad
(Kirk) found it rather than
have someone else find it
and sell it. Ijust hate it when
people sell our history.”
The house is listed at
$449,000 and needs at least
$100,000 in restoration, Kirk
said. Its historic appeal
extends beyond the find its
floorboards concealed; the
original antebellum kitchen
is accessible through acrawl
space under the house and up
in the dusty attic are an old
trunk, some children’s furniture
and aweathered farmhouse
table. The massive old
tree that served as the signal
post, felled when Whitlock
Avenue was widened years
ago, had been full of minie
balls — spent ammunition,
Cox said. The home’s
grounds likely contain other
bits of history. (Warning,
treasure seekers: the house
has an alarm system, is regularly
monitored and spotlights
flood the property).
For Kirk, the discovery
was a timely one, as his
family just observed the
145th anniversary of Gen.
Leonidas Polk’s death.
Kirk’s ancestors hosted
Polk in the days before his
fatal encounter with a
Union cannonball on June
14, 1864.
But that’s another story.

Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
If you knew that plate of
french fries had awhopping
600 calories, would you try
to share them? Health
experts think so, and the
government is starting to listen.
Since 1990, when the
Nutrition Education and
Labeling Act required nutrition
labels on packaged
foods, people have been
advocating for extending the
law tochain restaurants. The
Menu Education and
Labeling Act, which waslast
introduced in 2006, is back
before Congress. The current
version of the bill would
require that chain restaurants
with more than 20
locations nationwide post
the calorie content of food
where it might actually
make a difference — right
on the menu.
The Center for Science in
the Public Interest, a consumer
watchdog group in
Washington, believes that
eating out is amajor contributor
to the obesity epidemic,
citing data that Americans
consume about a third of
their calories outside the
home. According to the
Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention, two-thirds
of American adults and a
third of American children
are now overweight or
obese.
Madelyn Fernstrom, a
nutritionist and weight-management
expert at the
University of Pittsburgh
Medical Center,supports the
measure, because she
believes it will help many
people makehealthier choices.
“Abundant studies show
that professionals and regular
people are not good estimators
of calories,” she said.
“Even professionals can’t
because we don’t know
about alot of the hidden fat
or sugar in food.”
Fernstrom pointed out
that a lot of times our
instincts about what’s
healthier are wrong. For
example, when choosing
between amultigrain bagel
and a glazed doughnut at
Dunkin’ Donuts, most people
would pick the bagel as
the healthier choice. But it
actually has 400 calories
compared with the doughnut’s
220, and they both
have an equal number of
calories from fat.
The MEAL act has been
folded into the health-care
bill, so it’s not clear whether
July 4, 2009
it will pass in the
near future. But it’s a
sign that public opinion
is turning in favor
of these types of
laws.
NewYork City has
implemented asimilar
law and studies
demonstrate that consumers
believe it has
a positive effect on
their choices.
Massachusetts,
California and most
recently Oregon have
passed laws that will
go into effect in the
next couple of years.
This year, more than
a dozen new states
introduced versions
of the law.
Even the National
Restaurant Association supports
this version of the act,
thanks to acompromise that
allows eateries to post only
calorie information on the
menu, with other nutritional
information such as carbohydrates
and sodium available
upon request.
Some restaurants, however,
don’t support any version
that includes mandatory
labeling. At the King’s
Family Restaurant chain, for
instance, Chris Whalen, vice
president of finance,
believes that the law will
place an undue burden on
smaller chains, where much
of the food is made from
scratch.
“Most reputable restaurants
already have their
nutrition information printed
and available in their restaurants
for customers to view.
The act would ... increase
menu prices and hurt creativity,
since the cost of one
ingredient change means
printing anew menu page or
eventually costly legalbills.”
King’s makes nutritional
information available in
pamphlets at every location
but not on the companyWeb
site.
Fernstrom, however,
doesn’t think pamphlets are
enough. “It’s setting the bar
too high,” she explained,
“This is for people who are
busy, onthe run, who need
an immediate prompt, right
when they order.”

If Menu Education act passed,
we could make healthier choices
The Web address for the
calculator is:
www.eatnpark.com/nutritional_info.asp.
The law will most
likely have provisions
to protect restaurants
from frivolous lawsuits
concerning calorie
counts that aren’t 100
percent accurate. These
types of provisions
would be especially
important at the Eat’n
Park chain, where use
of local produce means
more variability.
“We’ve been watching
this pretty carefully,”
said Kevin
O’Connell, senior vice
president of marketing
for the Eat’n Park hospitality
group. But the
chain isn’t overly concerned.
“Overall we offer more
nutritional information than
almost any chain out there.
We have the nutritional
information for healthier
items on the back of the
menu. We’ve always offered
a nutritional brochure both
in stores and online,” he
said.
O’Connell pointed out
that anew feature of Eat’n
Park’s Web site is a meal
calculator, which allows
users to add menu items
together to see the total
nutritional information, and
even to modify menu items
to see what effect it would
have on the nutritional content
— removing the mayonnaise
from asandwich, for
example.

Looking for

and
Exceptional
Value?
ST. SIMONS ISLAND
— One of the biggest threats
following alarge-scale disaster
— whether natural or
human — is acommunications
breakdown.
If that happens, telephone
lines and cell phones could
become inoperable and so
could satellite phones, due to
their circuits being overloaded.
Charlie Wolverton, a
member of the Glynn
Amateur Radio Association
and director of safety and
security at Southeast
Georgia Health System, says
should that happen, ham
radio operators will be all
that’s left.
When trouble is brewing,
amateur radio operators are
among the first to respond
and coordinate with emergency
management and
relief personnel, he said.
It’s tothat end that this
week, Amateur Radio Week
is being capped off Saturday
and Sunday by the Amateur
Radio Relay League’s annual
Field Day.
More than 30,000 amateur
radio operators in North
America will join forces and
demonstrate their skills and
exhibit their equipment this
weekend. Using only emergency
power supplies such
as generators, operators will
set up stations in parks,
schools and backyards in the
United States and Canada.
In Glynn County, members
of the association will
set up at the Old Coast
Guard Station Maritime
Museum at East Beach on St.
Simons Island. The event
will simulate a set-up that
might be used should adisaster
occur.
This is the second year
the Coastal Georgia
Historical Society, which
operates the museum, has
hosted the event, which association
members say is fun
and educational.
Visitors to the event,
which will start at 2 p.m.
Saturday and end 2 p.m.
Sunday, will get to watch
operators use the newest digital
and satellite capabilities,
voice communications and
Morse code.
Jeff Cole, an association
member, said Field Day provides
the group an opportunity
to hone its communication
skills.
“It givesusthe opportunity
to communicate with
other amateur ratio operators
in afield setting as opposed
to the comfort of our own
homes,” Cole said.
Jeff Lackey, another association
member, said that
during Hurricane Katrina in
2005, amateur radio operators
provided a vital link
between the affected areas
and the outside world
because all other means of
communication were inoperable.
“We can jury rig something
on the spot,” Lackey
said of the members’ ability
to set up acommunications
center anywhere because
amateur radio operators
bring their infrastructure
with them.
Cole said the group’s
relationship with the Glynn
County Emergency
Management Agency has
grown and that it has agood
relationship with the
American Red Cross, as
well.
Like many organizations,
the association is looking for
new members. Members can
help people get started,
including helping them
secure the required license
from the Federal
Communications
Commission.
Clay Smith, another chapter
member, encourages people
to come to Field Day and
take alook.
“We’ll be making contact
with operators all over the
country,” Smith said. “And
people will be able to come
down and send and accept
real messages.”
Field Day is also acompetition
for association
members and all amateur
radio operators throughout
the rest of the U.S. and
Canada, with points being
awarded for numbers of contacts
made during the course
of the event.
“We try to set up with as

states and provinces as we
can,” Lackey said, adding
that although Field Day is
limited to the U.S. and
Canada, amateur radio operators
are found all over the
world.

people in 246 countries.

Family wants
second autopsy
LOS ANGELES —
Michael Jackson’s family
wants aprivate autopsy of
the pop icon because of
unanswered questions about
how hedied and the doctor
who was with him, the Rev.
Jesse Jackson said Saturday.
“It’s abnormal,” hetold The
Associated Press from
Chicago aday after visiting
the Jackson family. “We
don’t know what happened.
Washeinjected and with
what? All reasonable doubt
should be addressed.” The
coroner’s office released the
body to Jackson’s family
Friday night. There was no
immediate word on whether
the second autopsy was
being performed right away.
Jesse Jackson described the
family as grief-stricken.

COLUMBIA, S.C. —
Texas Gov. Rick Perry was

GOP wants to
know where are
the jobs
WASHINGTON —
Republicans concerned
about the Obama administration’s
big spending on
economic stimulus, energy
and health care are asking,
“Where are the jobs?” “The
president and Democrats in
Congress claim this spending
binge is necessary to put
Americans back to work,”
House Republican leader
John Boehner said Saturday
in the Republican radio and
Internet address. “They
promised unemployment
would not rise above 8percent
if their trillion-dollar
stimulus was passed. The
administration was wrong,
Boehner said.
“Unemployment has soared
above 9percent. And now
the president admits that
unemployment will soon
reach double digits. “After
all of this spending, after all
of this borrowing from
China, the Middle East, our
children and our grandchildren,
where are the jobs?”
he said. Since President
Barack Obama’s stimulus
plan to trigger job creation
was passed, the economy
has shed 1.6 million jobs.
Jackson also left legacy
as cultural phenomenon
ATLANTA (AP) — From
the wow to the weird,
Michael Jackson leaves a
fashion legacy to rival his
musical one.
His black fedora, silver
glove and red leather jacket
were worn by millions
around the world who channeled
Jackson’s spirit and
sartorial flair. Later, hemade
fashion choices that weren’t
as popular, but were no less
memorable: the pajama
pants during his child
molestation trial, the black
robes and veils while living
in Bahrain, the germ masks
that were aregular accessory.
All combined to cement
Jackson’s legacy as a pop
and fashion icon.
“There are afew people
who are the innovators, who
set the trends that other people
follow,” said Stephane
Dunn, a frequent writer of
popular culture who teaches
English at Morehouse
College. “Here wasMichael,
who understood the power
of style and was able to
translate it in a way that
everybody wanted to copy
it.”
His costumes weren’t just
for the stage. At a White
House appearance, Jackson
stood alongside first lady
Nancy Reagan, looking the
part of aglamorous general
in asequined military-style
coat, aviator sunglasses and
single, studded glove.
Few could imitate
Jackson’s talent, but for
decades, millions around the
world stole his style, and not
just on Halloween. Jackson
was constantly mimicked
among the miniature and the
mature, in classrooms, at
costume parties, or at his
concerts.
“He basically was the
cool of the moment,” Dunn
said. “He was creating this
whole persona, and people
ate it up. By themselves,
these things probably
would’ve been corny.”
But on Jackson, theywere
instant vintage. Growing up,
25-year-old Cinco Montoya
cherished his “Thriller” jacket
and black loafers that were
Jackson’s trademark.
“I tried to do my hair like
him,” Montoya said, recalling
how heused to wet his
black tresses, trying to coif
At the end of his life, a
personal cardiologist was
living with Jackson while he
rehearsed rigorously for a
historic comeback. Among
the first steps police took
was to tow the doctor’s
BMW, saying it might contain
medication or other evidence.
Since his death, people
close to Jackson have said
they were worried about his
dependence on the drugs. In
1993, while he was defending
himself against child
molestation charges, Jackson
himself called it an addiction.
On Saturday, spiritual
teacher Dr. Deepak Chopra
said he had been concerned
since 2005 that Jackson was
abusing painkillers and
spoke tothe pop star about
suspected drug use as recently
as six months ago.
“In away, this was coming,
and in away, it’s frustrating
that we couldn’t do
anything about it,” he told
The Associated Press. “The
problem has been going on
for along time, butwedidn’t
knowwhat to do. There were
attempts at intervention, and
it didn’t succeed.”
Chopra said Jackson, a
longtime friend, personally
asked him for painkillers in
2005, when the singer was
staying with him after he was

his curls like those of his
hero’s. “I watched all of his
videos. I used to think he
was like Superman.”
Jackson’s ability as aperformer
electrified audiences,
inspired amateurs of all ages
and launched the careers of
entertainers from Chris
Brown to Chris Tucker, said
Mark Anthony Neal, who
teaches black popular culture
at Duke University.
“His success was atemplate
for them,” Neal said of
performers like Brown,
Ginuwine and Justin
Timberlake. “Usher doesn’t
have amove that he didn’t
initially think about because
he saw Michael Jackson do
it.”
Usher and Jackson once
shared the stage for a performance
of “You Rock My
World,” and Brown did a
“Thriller” tribute performance
at the World Music
Awards in 2006.
Neal described Jackson’s
music as “black pop,” and
credits the megastar with
bringing the sound into the
mainstream, which was later

acquitted on sex-abuse
charges. Chopra said he
refused.
He also said the nanny of
Jackson’s children repeatedly
contacted him with concerns
about Jackson’s drug
use over the next four years,
and said Jackson would
avoid his calls whenever the
subject came up.
Well before Jackson had a
doctor living under his own
roof, there were ample reasons
to turn to pharmaceuticals
to relieve pain.
In the early 1990s,
Jackson’s dermatologist
revealed the singer had a
skin disorder known as vitiligo,
which leads to white
patches on the skin. And over
the years, Jackson underwent
numerous plastic surgeries,
the most prominent being the
narrowing of his nose. Few
people know exactly how
many there were in all.
Jackson was apassionate
performer and an exceptional
dancer, renowned for his
choreographical perfection.
Ailments were, or at least
began as, abyproduct of his
dedication.
In 1990, he was hospitalized
with chest pains. In
1993, he canceled aperformance
due to dehydration and
later cut his tour short
because of his painkiller
addiction. In 1995, he collapsed
on stage at the Beacon
Theater in NewYork and was
AP PHOTO
invoked by Madonna, ’N
Sync, the Backstreet Boys
and others.
But it was perhaps his
unique fashions that connected
him most to his fans
— and Jackson never even
had his own clothing line.
“By wearing the clothing,
he became accessible to people,
especially as his celebrity
got to apoint where he
became inaccessible,” Neal
said.
Jackson’s style evolved
from crystaland fringe to the
narrow, lean, clean silhouette
inspired by American dance
icon Fred Astaire — with
whom Jackson shared a
friendship. Jackson borrowed
from Astaire’s look
for the video “Black or
White,” explained Deborah
Landis, who also worked
with Jackson on his look for
“Thriller.”
“Michael reveled in his
own unique style,” said
Landis, who was friends
with Jackson for decades.
“He wasastyle icon because
he created his own fashion
and followed no one.”
hospitalized.
Then there was London.
Mounting acomeback aimed
at least in part on erasing the
taint of years of scandal,
Jackson was to perform a
staggering 50 shows at the
O2 arena, the first of them in
mid-July.
It was aschedule daunting
enough that Jackson
was training in recent
months with Lou Ferrigno,
the star of TV’s “Incredible
Hulk.”And while a50-show
run would be challenging
even for an athlete in his
prime, Jackson was 50
years old. As he aged, his
appearance had become
famously, almost spectrally,
drawn.
Those involved in the
production said Jackson
was heavily involved in all
aspects of the concert
rehearsals. He had hired a
personal trainer and was
practicing with backup
dancers and choreographers
several hours aday.
“He was working hard,
setting the example, overseeing
the choreography,
kicking butt and taking
names,” said Johnny
Caswell, president of
CenterStaging Musical
Productions Inc., a
Burbank, Calif., sound
stage where Jackson
rehearsed until late May.
“He was ready to blow
everybody out of the water.”

It’s atime of firsts …and

Technical College serving
Northwest Georgia graduated
its last class ever June 19.
However, eleven days prior
“Georgia” Northwestern
Technical College registered
its first-ever group of students.
Northwestern Technical
College will merge with its
sister school, Coosa Valley
Technical College in Rome
July 1. The name of the new
institution: Georgia
Northwestern. More than
200 programs are being
offered on the four campuses
of Georgia Northwestern
Technical College yearround.
Summer quarter

Floyd, Gordon and Polk
County, as well as online
July 6. GNTC is Northwest
Georgia’s largest college.

Amanda Egan was the
very last student to cross the
stage at the final
Northwestern Technical
College graduation ceremony.
The very first student
ever admitted to the school in
1966 was Randall
Richardson. Due to commitments,
the LaFayette resident
was unable to attend the
historic event.
This year’s state budget
will have $3 million in it to
help create another first for
Georgia Northwestern. The
first steps will be taken in
building the Catoosa
Campus of Georgia
Northwestern at the corner of
Cloud Springs Road and
Three Notch Road. This
facility is 10 miles from the
front gates of Enterprise
South, the home of the new
Volkswagen plant in
Chattanooga.
“We will be offering programs
to help put our students
in careers in the auto
industry, as well as other
facilities across Northwest
Georgia,” said King.

get better every day and make the most out of every game and at-bat that kept pushing his skills to ahigher level. This season, Palmer slugged 10home runs

In his senior season, Garren Palmer had 82
at-bats. That’s 82chances to succeed. Or,
depending on how you look at it, 82
chances to fail. But for Palmer it was 82
chances to do whatever hewas asked to do,
make the most of his time at the plate and
help his team get closer to recording another
victory, something Dalton High’s baseball
team did 22 of 28 times out this season as the
Catamounts went undefeated in Region 7-4A
and won their first league title in adecade.
Palmer was abig part of that process every step of the way
— so much so that Cats coach Bobby Brotherton struggled to
pinpoint one or two highlight games for the talented catcher
with the good bat.
“He was just dominant nearly every game,” Brotherton said.
“There were very few games that he didn’t have aclutch hit or a
home run.”
That consistency translated into another year as one of the

Boston Red Sox starter Tim Wakefield delivers his familiar knuckleball pitch
during Saturday’s interleague game against the Atlanta Braves at Turner Field.
Atlanta starter Javier Vazquez went 72/3 innings, struck out eight and allowed
just six hits and three walks, but had little help from the Braves lineup.
Knuckle sandwich
Wakefield holds Braves to three hits
BY PAUL NEWBERRY
Associated Press Writer
ATLANTA — Who
would’ve envisioned this:
TimWakefield joining Roger
Clemens in the Boston record
book?
The 42-year-old knuckleballer
pitched six scoreless
innings to beat the Atlanta
Braves 1-0 Saturday, aworthyperformance
for the game
that tied him with Clemens
for the most career starts by a
Red Sox pitcher.
Mark Kotsay drove in the
game’sonly run with asixthinning
single off Javier
Vazquez, who certainly
pitched well enough to win
but got no help from the listless
Atlanta offense.
The Braves have scored
only one run in two games
against the Red Sox this
weekend, extending their losing
streak to four straight and
dropping aseason-worst six
games under .500 (34-40).
Wakefield (10-3) became
the AL’s third 10-game winner,
joining Minnesota’s
Kevin Slowey and Toronto’s
Roy Halladay. The knuckleball
wasreally fluttering on a
sweltering day at Turner
Field that was 95degrees at
first pitch.
The Braves managed just
three singles offWakefield.
Manny Delcarmen retired
all four hitters he faced,
Justin Masterson got out of
trouble in the eighth and
Jonathan Papelbon worked
around ashaky ninth to complete
the four-hit shutout, his
18th save in 19 chances.
OUR HEARTS AND
PRAYERS ARE
WITH OUR TROOPS!!!
But Wakefield did the bulk
of the work.
The Braves threatened
against Papelbon. Brian
McCann flied out to the wall
in right-center and Garret
Anderson doubled with two
outs, but Casey Kotchman
grounded out to end the
game.
The Braves didn’t get a
runner past second until the
eighth, and they had to
scratch for that. Matt Diaz
walked against Masterson,
moveduponawild pitch and
took third on agroundout.
Boston took advantage of
alineup weakened by injuries
to Nate McLouth and Yunel
Escobar. Three of Atlanta’s
nine hitters came into the
game hitting below.200.
McCann and Gregor
Blanco both stole second
after reaching on Wakefield,
taking advantage of his slow
knuckleball. They didn’t get
anyfurther.Blanco led offthe
sixth with another hit and
moved uponasacrifice bunt
by Martin Prado, but the
Boston starter retired
Atlanta’smost dangerous hitters:
Chipper Jones with a
liner to second and Brian
McCann on aslow roller to
first.
With that, Wakefield’s
work wasdone.
Vazquez (5-7) struck out
eight to claim the NL strikeout
lead from San Francisco’s
TimLincecum (125-124), but
abrief spurt of wildness in
the sixth wascostly.
After retiring the first two
Boston hitters, Vazquez
issued back-to-back walks to
Kevin Youkilis and David
Ortiz, the latter after getting
ahead 0-2 in the count. Big
Papi got the call on abreaking
pitch that just missed the
strike zone, then managed to
check his swing on a 3-2
pitch that swerved inside,
nearly hitting him.
Kotsay, a former Brave
filling in for Jason Bay,came
through with asingle to left,
bringing home Youkilis with
the game’sonly run.
Vazquez went 7 2/3
innings, allowing just six hits
and three walks. He left after
Youkilis tripled offthe wall in
right with two outs in the
eighth, prompting the Braves
to bring on lefty Eric
O’Flaherty, who walked
Ortiz intentionally before
retiring Kotsay on aweak fly
to center.

Melanie Oudin’s latest
Wimbledon highlight
was ousting aformer
No. 1player Saturday.
Ga. teen
keeps it
going in
England
BY HOWARD FENDRICH
Associated Press Writer
WIMBLEDON,
England — As atykegrowing
up in Marietta, Melanie
Oudin would watch Venus
and Serena Williams on TV
and tell anyone who would
listen that she was going to
play at Wimbledon, too,
one day.
Who knew she’d be
right? And do so well, so
quickly?
Making her Wimbledon
debut at age 17 after getting
through qualifying,
the 124th-ranked Oudin
joined the Williams sisters
in the fourth round at the
All England Club by beating
former No. 1 Jelena
Jankovic 6-7 (8), 7-5, 6-2
Saturday in the most startling
result of the tournament’s
opening week.
“I was just thinking
that she was any other
player, and this was any
other match, and Iwas at
any other tournament —
you know, not, like, on the
biggest stage, at
Wimbledon, playing my
first top-10 player,” Oudin
said. “I mean, I go into
every match the exact
same, you know, like, no
matter who Iplay. It’s not,
like, ‘Oh, my gosh, I’m
playing the No. 1player in
the world.”’
Another U.S. qualifier,
133rd-ranked Jesse
Levine of Boca Raton,
Fla., couldn’t extend his
run in the men’s tournament,
losing to No. 19
Stanislas Wawrinka 5-7,
7-5, 6-3, 6-3. That leaves
No. 6Andy Roddick as
the last American man in
the tournament.
The only time Oudin
really lost her way was
when her match ended and
it wastime to leave Court 3,
apatch of grass known as
“The Graveyard of
Champions,”because of the
long list of stars upset there.
She wasn’tquite sure where
to go and asked someone to
direct her toward the exit.
Not all that surprising,
when you consider that a
year ago, Oudin entered
the junior event at
Wimbledon — seeded No.
1among the girls — and
failed to makeitout of the
second round, losing 6-1,
6-3 to eventual champion
Laura Robson of Britain.
But she outlasted 2008
U.S. Open runner-up
Jankovic over nearly 3
hours, then calling Mom
and Dad back home to
share in the revelry.
“My emotions are all
over the place,” Oudin’s
father, John, said in atelephone
interview. “When I
think about watching
Bjorn Borg and Boris
Becker in their starched
whites at Wimbledon, I
just can’t believe Melanie
is there. It’s hardly any
words other than, ‘Wow!’
We’vebeen saying alot of
that. Just, ‘Wow!”’
Shortly after his daughter’s
victory, he and
Oudin’s mother, Leslie,
began scouring the
Internet for flights. Even
Grandma — who encouraged
Melanie and twin
sister Katherine to take up
tennis — might make the
overseas trip to see Oudin
face No. 11 Agniesza
Radwanska of Poland on
Monday.

Kirkland: Palmer
➣ Continued from page 1B
also add this little gem —
like hewas blocking awild
pitch, Palmer was amaster
when it came to deferring
praise and redirecting the
conversation back to the
team.
Exhibit Aisanopenended,
yet pointed question
about Palmer’s days with
the Cats.
So Garren, looking back
now, what are your thoughts
on your career and what you
achieved?
Palmer: “We won a
region championship, which
was agood thing for us,
since we hadn’t done it in a
while. And we went undefeated
in the region, so those
were two good things for
me.”
Note the contrast in the
italics for each paragraph —
and see the catcher’s verbal
blocking skills at work. It’s
not that Palmer refuses to
talk about himself. He’ll talk
hitting, training, the benefits
he’s received from arigorous
summer travel baseball
schedule. He’s anice
enough guy to oblige you in
that conversation. But when
it comes to talking about his
achievements — well, there
are just other things Palmer
would rather discuss.
There are far worse traits
an athlete could have.And
for Dalton coach Bobby
Brotherton, having arguably
the most talented player on
the team — and certainly
the best pure hitter who, this
year, was also the area’s
most powerful — show that
type of humility was abig
help.
Not that he was alone
among his Dalton teammates
when it came to that
characteristic, Brotherton
noted.
“That’s him,” the coach
said. “We’ve got alot of
those types of kids, though,
he’s just one of many. Our
kids don’t worry about
who’s getting it done.”
After the Cats came up
short of the state playoffs in
his freshman season, Palmer
was able to enjoy the postseason
experience every
year after that. Hewas part
of alot of wins. And while
he also put some impressive
numbers, that victory total
was just as important to
Palmer — though that’s certainly
easier to believe when
you’re the type of hitter who
lives inthe .500 neighborhood
your final two seasons.
And while Palmer didn’t
obsess over his numbers, he
did focus intensely on his
play and how itaffected his
team. He learned to work
pitch counts better, pick the
zones that suited him best
and create the type of at-bat
that offered the best opportunity
for success.
And while he may not
like talking about what he
did as an individual,
Palmer’s nofool.
“Me contributing to the
team, helping the team win,
that was mypersonal goal, I
guess,” hesaid. “I did everything
Icould tomake us
better.”

a Champions Tour event in Endicott, N.Y., on
Saturday. Nielsen is tied for second place.
Goydos fending
off Perry by one
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
CROMWELL, Conn.
(AP) — Paul Goydos
birdied five holes on the
back nine Saturday and
held aone-stroke lead over
Kenny Perry after the third
round of the Travelers
Championship.
Goydos’ 28-foot putt
from off the green on the
16th highlighted athirdround
63, tying Hunter
Mahan for the best round
of the day.
“I had acircus putt on
16,” Goydos said. “Again,
it was turning lemons into
lemonade. Those are the
things that are the difference
between maybe shooting
68 today and 63.”
Perry, who led after
each of the first two
rounds, had aseemingly
comfortable three-stroke
lead after birdies on 11 and
12. But he dropped a
stroke onthe 14th and
Goydos took advantage,
making four straight
birdies starting on the par-5
13th.
After arain delay of just
over anhour, both golfers
parred in. Perry missed a
5-foot birdie try on 18 that
would have given him a
share of the lead minutes
after Goydos misread the
break on a10-footer.
“When it gets dark I
don’t see very good, I
never had and Icomplain
every time,” Perry said. “I
can’t see the lines when it
gets dark and that’s just the
way itwas.”
David Toms shot a66
and was inthird place at
14-under par. Toms didn’t
make his first bogey ofthe
tournament until Saturday
on the par-4 10th hole,
when he missed a5-foot
par putt. It was his only
bogey ofthe round and
broke astreak of 45
straight holes at par or better.
John Merrick held the
lead several times during
the round after making
birdie on five of his first
seven holes. But adoublebogey
on12led to athreestroke
swing and put Perry
back on top. Merrick finished
with a65, and was
tied with Casey
Wittenberg, three strokes
behind the leaders at 13-
under.
Wittenberg chipped in
from 51 feet on the 16th
hole and made five birdies
on the back nine.
“I got in agroove
there,” hesaid.
Bo VanPelt’s 23-foot
birdie putt on the par-4
18th capped around of 64
that left him at 12-under
for the tournament and in a
three-way tie for sixth
place with TagRidings and
Ben Curtis.
“I’ve got to hit some
fairways Sunday to go low
enough to scare anybody,”
VanPelt said. “There are
going to be some low
scores Sunday.You better
have your ears pinned back
and go get some birdies.”
Mahan, who seems to
always play well in
Cromwell, shot a63to
move into contention.
Mahan got his only Tour
win here in 2007 and finished
tied for second in
2006 and 2008. On
Saturday, hebirdied five
consecutive holes to get to
11 under.
“I wish Icould find
more courses that suit me
like this one,” Mahan said.
“I just like it. It suits my
eye. It’s afun course. You
can make alot of birdies,
and Ijust have alot of confidence
when Iplay here.”
U.S. Open champion
Lucas Glover was seven
strokes behind after his
second 65 in three days.

The students bring golf
clubs to class. They’re wearing
golf shirts and slacks. In
their hands, pitching wedges,
and on their backs, book bags.
It’s just another day at the
Golf Academy ofAmerica.
“Most people who want to
come here ask themselves,
‘Can Imake aliving doing
what I love doing?’” said
Brad Turner,campus director
of the Orlando branch.
“There are no degree requirements
to get into golf, butit’s
abusiness, nonetheless. So it
needs business people who
want to be in golf.”
The Golf Academy of
America is, believe it or not, a
real college. Students take a
15-to-16-hour course load per
semester to earn an accredited
two-year degree in golf complex,
operations and management.
The school has acampus,
classrooms, professors,
grades, homework and even a
graduation ceremony.
The program offers a
degree in golf for those who
want to learn business management,
the golf industry,
modern teaching techniques,
club repair and human relations
skills.
Most who enroll end up as
an instructor or a course’s
PGA pro. There are many
branches to explore, however,
such as managing agolf
store, sales for agolf brand,
working at agolf resort or for
the Golf Channel, even public
relations for atournament.
No matter the job, golf is
involved.
“I wasn’t aware this even
existed and that Icould do
something with learning golf
at amore vocational level,”
said student Eric Busto, 27,
who is going to be agolf pro
assistant in NewYork. “There
are alot of (courses with a
pro) who is some yahoo that
is ascratch golfer and has just
worked his wayuptobeing in
charge at the course. Inever
knew there could be education
behind it.”
Turner is, essentially, the
dean at the Orlando campus,
which includes classrooms
named after famous courses,
six PGA professionals (aka,
professors) on staff, atraining
room with aputting and
chipping green, equipment to
analyze tee shots and even a
student lounge.
It’s agolf-specific school,
as Turner likes to put it, and
has classes such as management
of course maintenance,
club design and repair, course
design, history of golf 1and 2,
short game 1and 2, tournament
golf, even calligraphy(to
write leaderboards for tournaments).

JACKSONVILLE, Fla.

John Daly has been ordered
to pay almost $272,000 in
legal fees for his unsuccessful
libel lawsuit against The
Florida Times-Union.
Duval County Circuit
Judge Hugh Carithers ordered
Daly to pay $263,088 in attorney’s

rate per year until it is paid.
Carithers dismissed the
lawsuit in March. Heruled

education classes, though
these include golf as well.
“There are so many different
avenues of golf you
can turn to,” Busto said.
“You can work for Nike
or Titleist. Iget akick out it
that you’re taking an
accounting class or (learning)
business law and there’s
aset of golf clubs sitting next
to you.”
Many go to college not
only to get an education but
to experience adiverse environment.
The studentbody at
the academy doesn’t necessarily
provide that. The average
student is aman in his
mid-20s — according to
Turner, 3percent are women
at his branch — but does
include international students.
Only 8percent of the
students are four-year university
grads, but 75percent
are from outside the state.
But all students live and
breathe golf for two years.

they’re here. They all go to
different areas: course pros,
groundskeepers or build and
fix clubs. Anything they can
do with golf.
“It’s really wowed me,
but(the professors) also have
contacts they’ve picked up
through the years. If there’s
something specific you want
to do, they can find someone
they know that gets you on
your way.”
The academy feels more
like asmall college, asmall
enrollment (182 in Orlando)
in which the dean knows
everyone’s name. Thing is
here, Turner probably knows
their handicap, too.
“I feel like a dean,” he
said. “I do counsel some
guys, either about their game
or their girlfriends — anything.
We care about our students,
perhaps like asmaller
college. We’re that thorough.
We know our guys and want
them to do well in golf.”

toughest outs in Northwest
Georgia. Palmer finished
with 39 hits, seven doubles,
atriple and an area-best 10
home runs. He walked 15
times while striking out just
seven. He drove in 38 runs,
recorded a.476 batting average
and a.654 on-base percentage.
And he served as
one of the most valuable
links in alineup of solid hitters.
Palmer, who earned a
starter’s job behind the plate
as afreshman, had already
served notice of his hitting
talent with abreakout junior
season. But he had more to
accomplish as asenior,
when added strength, maturity,
continued technical
improvements and an even
sharper mental approach
broadened his range of
skills.
“I’d just say Ilearned the
game better,” Palmer said. “I
hope to continue to do that.
Ijust focused in on what I
wanted from the at-bat and
tried to rule it, not let the
pitcher rule the at-bat.”
That was the case more
often than not.
For his efforts and
accomplishments this season,
Palmer has been named
The Daily Citizen’s All-Area
Baseball Player of the Year
for 2009. This is the second
consecutive season the
honor has gone to Palmer, a
four-year starter for Dalton
who earned all-area honorable
mention as asophomore
in 2007.
Palmer, who also earned
two all-area football selections
during his time at
Dalton High, was easily
noticeable as ahitter, but he
was proud of his improvements
in the field, too.
While catcher’s gear is
sometimes referred to as the
tools of ignorance — anod
to the fact that you’d have to
not know what ahot, tiring
and crucial job you’re getting
into to don amask and
squat behind the plate —
they were the tools of excellence
when Palmer put them
on. It’s not that he was perfect,
just that he made that
his standard.
“The best thing to do to
get better is actual reps,”
Palmer said. “This summer,
I’ll only catch like half the
games, but Istill try to do a
lot of footwork drills, work
on blocking, catching
bullpens on my own. And
getting to catch really good
pitchers is agood thing.”
Aveteran of summer
travel with the Chattanooga
Baseball Club, Palmer is
playing this year for ateam
out of Johnson City, Tenn.
— he’ll soon head to that
area to begin his next-level
career with Milligan
College, an NAIA school he
signed with in December —
called The Edge and continuing
the work that brought
him this far.
As for catching good
pitchers being beneficial,
Palmer had plenty of opportunities
to do that this season
on astaff that featured
Colton Kinnamon (8-2),
Alex Roberts (5-2), John
Erwin (5-0) and Nick Ray
(4-0). But while that was a
privilege for Palmer, who
relished the versatility such
talent gave the team in getting
batters out, he did alot
for that rotation, too.
“Those guys knew they
could throw that curveball at
any point, any count, any
situation and we liked to do
that,” Brotherton said.
“Most of the time, he was
going to block it up. So that
was pretty powerful in and
of itself.”
And with four years of
experience, Palmer also had
the intangible talent of handling
pitchers — knowing
when to talk, when to be
quiet and how tokeep them
calm and focused.
“That’s just G,”
Brotherton said. “Those guys
are important. Catchers that
can handle apitching staff
are hard to come by and he
did agood job with that.”
At Milligan, Palmer
doesn’t know how much
time he’ll see at catcher —
he plays first during summer
ball when not behind the
plate — but heknows he’d
like tostart as soon as possible,
wherever possible.
“I have alot of opportunities,”
Palmer said. “I feel
like Igointhere next year
with achance to compete
for astarting job.And I
want to get better as Igo
along. Like any kid, it’s my
dream to play Major League
Baseball and there will be a
lot of opportunities with
scouts and stuff. Ijust want
to try and get better and do
what Ican to help us win a
lot of games.”
After seeing it in action
the past two seasons,
Brotherton has no doubt
about the boost Palmer will
receive from astrong work
ethic. When the batting cage
at Dalton High was locked
one day not too long ago,
Brotherton got acall from
Palmer kindly requesting a
little time to polish his
swing.
And for that reason,
Brotherton has no trouble
predicting more good things
to come for the catcher who
brought so many ofthem to
Dalton baseball.
“His better days are
ahead of him,” the coach
said. “He’ll be that guy over
there late at night or early in
the morning, making bigger,
bigger, bigger improvements.
His work habits will
make sure of that.”
Here’s alook at the rest
of the talent on the 2009
All-Area Baseball Team,
which was selected via a
combination of coaches’
nominations and The Daily
Citizen’s sports staff’s input:
■ Alex Roberts, Dalton, P:
Showing an ability to buckle
knees with his curveball as well
as he popped the mitt with a
fastball in the high 80s, Roberts
quickly became ago-to arm for
the Cats in aseason where
they didn’t want to leave much
margin for error on the mound
or otherwise. The sophomore
right-hander was an imposing
presence with his 6-foot-3-inch
frame, but efficiency was just
as valuable atrait for Roberts,
who rarely got into trouble, but
seemed to know how to pitch
his way out of abad count
when he did. Season highlights
for Roberts included just missing
aperfect game in afiveinning
no-hitter at Northwest
Whitfield on April 22 and saving
Game 1and winning Game 2
as Dalton swept South
Paulding in the Region 7-4A
championship series. In 44
innings, Roberts had 66 strikeouts,
20 walks and allowed just
19 hits while recording a5-2
mark, 3.18 ERA and .118
opposing batting average. This
is his first appearance on the
All-Area Baseball Team.
■ Taylor Patterson,
Murray County, 1B:Murray
County’s first season back in
Class 4A went better than
either of its campaigns during a
two-year stint in the Georgia
High School Association’s
largest classification. The
Indians went 13-11 overall —
their first winning record since
2006 — and just missed a.500
mark in Region 7-4A. But perhaps
more encouraging to the
Indians than either of those
numbers was their surge late in
the season that made the race
for the region playoffs much
more interesting than it had
seemed to be when Murray
County took amidseason slide.
Among those leading the
bounce-back run — the Indians
won seven of their final nine
games — was astrong sophomore
class to which Patterson
belonged. Used at first base
and as adesignated hitter,
Patterson hit avery healthy
.493 and showed aradar for
the gap with 12 doubles among
his hits. He also showed alittle
beyond-the-fence potential with
three home runs and collected
25 RBIs. An honorable mention
choice as afreshman, this is
his first All-Area appearance.
■ Stryker Brown, Dalton,
2B:Although in his first season
as an upperclassmen, like
Palmer and several others on
the Cats roster, Brown already
plays like an experienced veteran
— askill that also did him
well when he took over the
starting quarterback job for
Dalton football this past fall. In
ateam-high 94 at-bats —
Brown held down the leadoff
spot in atop-to-bottom tough
lineup and also contributed 11
stolen bases and scored 33
runs— Brown collected 32 hits
for a.340 batting average and
had a.496 on-base percentage
as well. He could drive the ball
— his eight doubles tied with
two others for second-best
among the Cats, while his 29
RBIs were third-best — and
sometimes sent it over the wall,
as he finished with five home
runs. In fact, he homered twice
during Dalton’s 9-2 win at
Murray County on April 18. This
is the second consecutive allarea
appearance for Brown,
who helped lead Team Georgia
to the championship at the
recent Junior Sunbelt Classic in
Oklahoma.
■ Carter Crutchfield,
Dalton, 3B:Asenior,
Crutchfield will be remembered
for big contributions on the football
field, where he played
receiver and anchored the secondary
for Dalton, but he was
pretty impressive on the diamond,
too. One of only two
three-time all-area selections on
this year’s team, Crutchfield
held down the left side of
Dalton’sinfield — he even shifted
to shortstop when starter
Toombs Norman was injured
during aregion playoffgame —
and was one of the most
dependable bats in astrong
lineup. Among the Cats with a
significant number of trips to the
plate, Crutchfield’s.364 average
was second only to Palmer
and his 37 RBIs were just a
step behind the standout catcher
in that category,too. He
compiled a.545 on-base percentage
— again, second only
to Palmer — had five doubles,
the same number of home runs,
16 walks and five sacrifices. As
it did on the football team, his
leadership no doubt came in
handy in the dugout this season
for aDalton team that showed a
notable ability to shake offthe
rare adversity it faced.
■ Michael Simpson,
Southeast, SS: While he’s
surely wishing him the best for
the future, you can bet
Southeast coach Jason Keller
is sad to see his senior shortstop
go — because Simpson
will be remembered as one of
the most talented Raiders to
play not only for Keller, but in
the program’s all-time lineup.
Simpson holds four school single-season
records and nine
career marks for the Raiders.
While valued for his ability to
get on however he could — his
speed up the line to first base
was always impressive —
Simpson matured into acomplete
hitter over his four years
as astarter at Southeast. This
year, hecollected awhopping
42 hits and had a.506 batting
average, .554 on-base percentage
and .795 slugging percentage.
In the mix were 10 doubles,
apair of triples and two
home runs — the first roundtrippers
of his high school
career — and just three strikeouts
in 90 plate appearances.
He also stole 21 bases — he
finished his career 80-for-87 in
that category — and, as Keller
puts it “plays way beyond his
size” of 5-2, 140 pounds. This
is the third consecutive year in
which Simpson has earned an
all-area nod.
■ Brent Stephens,
Northwest Whitfield, OF:The
year came to asudden, unforgiving
and unfortunate halt for
Stephens when he suffered an
ACL tear in his right knee while
rounding third base in ahome
game against Rome on April 15.
But while there was no more
baseball in 2009 for Stephens,
who had to watch as the Bruins
fought their way into aregion
playoffseries with atrip to state
on the line — they were swept
by Sprayberry on the road —
there were plenty of good things
for him before then. Aplayer the
Bruins could use at designated
hitter and catcher when he wasn’t
in the outfield, Stephens
gave opposing pitchers plenty to
worry about before his seasonending
injury.Despite the shortened
year,hestill had eight
home runs and drove in 22 runs
while compiling a.422 batting
average — and because he has
asweet, powerful natural swing
praised by Bruins coach Todd
Middleton, with some solid
rehab work Stephens should be
Have asports storyidea?
Give us acall at (706) 272-7734.
poised for even bigger things in
2010 as asenior.This is his
second consecutive all-area
appearance.
■ Beau Blackwood,
Dalton, OF:Although he was
an all-area selection in his junior
season as well, Blackwood
showed as much improvement
as any everyday starter from
2008 to 2009. While his bat
continued to get better, the
most noticeable progress came
in his defense in right field —
he made just one error this
season — where he admitted a
year of experience and offseason
work proved invaluable for
reading fly balls and figuring
out angles. At the plate,
Blackwood’s feel for the strike
zone was especially valuable
as he drew ateam-best 24
walks while compiling a.545
on-base percentage. He also
hit .311, had another team high
with nine doubles, drove in 19
runs and even tossed in a
home run during the Cats’
region championship series victory.Arecent
signee to Milligan
College, near Johnson City,
Tenn. — he’ll play alongside
Dalton teammates Palmer and
John Erwin, asenior pitcher
this year — Blackwood no
doubt hopes he has even more
progress to note in the future.
■ Mitch Townsend,
Dalton, OF:Yet another allaround
solid player in the
Dalton lineup, Townsend came
to the power hitting party alittle
bit later than some of his teammates
— but his timing was
perfect. Although he had just
one home run during the regular
season, Townsend homered
three times on three pitches in
the second game of Dalton’s
sweep of South Paulding in the
Region 7-4A championship
series to help wrap up the title
and finished an undefeated
region run on April 30. But
while the junior left fielder’s
homer binge didn’t come until
then, he had already been one
of the many dependable bats
for the Cats throughout the
season. Townsend finished with
27 hits as he recorded a.346
batting average and .467 onbase
percentage, mixing in
eight doubles — he was one of
three Cats to reach that total —
14 walks and nine stolen
bases. While Dalton has made
aslow, steady climb over the
past few years back to the top
of the region ranks, players like
Townsend, Roberts and Brown
are signs that the Cats could
stay there for awhile.
■ Gray Hutchinson,
Christian Heritage, Sr., DH:
When he wasn’t pitching — the
senior went 5-1 on the mound
to help Christian Heritage
reach the semifinals of the
Georgia Independent Schools
Association’s Class 2A state
tournament — Hutchinson was
giving his team “great range
and acannon arm” at shortstop,
where he made just two
errors all season, Lions coach
Noah Stokes said. But through
it all, Hutchinson was giving
them astellar bat. The
Valdosta State-bound slugger
collected 30 hits, including
eight home runs, drove in 19
runs, walked 17 times and stole
eight bases while compiling a
.484 batting average, .903
slugging percentage and .610
on-base percentage. He
earned both All-Region 4-2A
and All-State honors in Class
2A, finishing as runner-up for
2A’s player of the year award.
But beyond those stats,
Hutchinson was crucial in helping
get Christian Heritage
baseball going. Just afew
years after starting their varsity
program, the Lions are ateam
to watch in the GISA — and
Hutchinson’s amajor reason
why.This is the first all-area
appearance for Hutchinson,
who earned honorable mention
last season; he’s also the first
Christian Heritage player ever
selected for The Daily Citizen’s
All-Area Baseball Team.
■ Honorable mention:
Christian Heritage — Jarred
Cronan, Derrick Hayes; Dalton
— Colton Kinnamon, Toombs
Norman, Blake Raber, Phillip
Schenck; Murray County —
Chandler Puryear, Colton
Roberts, Chris Thompson;
Northwest Whitfield — Jordan

INTERNATIONAL SOCCER: CONFEDERATIONS CUP
U.S. pushes for another upset
BY ANDREW DAMPF
Associated Press Writer
JOHANNESBURG —
Landon Donovanremembers
the first time he played the
Brazilians, when his under-
23 team trudged offthe field,
victims of a7-0 thrashing.
“I haven’t beaten Brazil
on any level,” the U.S. forward
said. “It would be
amazing to do it (today).”
Amazing, unbelievable,
spectacular — any adjective
would apply.
When the Americans play
Brazil in the Confederation
Cup final today, they have a
chance to create awatershed
moment in U.S. soccer. The
Americans have never won a
FIFA tournament — this is
the first time they’ve even
made it to afinal — and avictory
over the five-time World
Cup champions would signal
theyare closer than ever to the
likes of Spain, England,
Argentina, Italy and Germany.
It would be abig hit back
home, too, where fans who
couldn’t tell a corner kick
from ahandball just afew
days ago have suddenly
become soccer aficionados.
“For U.S. Soccer, this is a
very special day,” coach Bob
Bradley said. “It’s the first
time we’re playing in afinal
of a world competition like
this, and to play against Brazil
— everybody knows theirhistory
— is extra special.”
The United States has
beaten Brazil only once in 14
tries, and that 1-0 victory
came in Los Angeles in the
semifinals of the 1998 CON-
CACAF Gold Cup, the
championship of North and
Central America and the
Caribbean.
Just last week, Brazil routed
the Americans 3-0 in group
play at the Confederations
Cup. The loss left them on the
verge ofelimination, and had
some critics calling for
Bradley’sjob.
But the U.S. men turned
their fortunes around immediately
after that game, and
are adifferent team now.
The Americans beat Egypt
3-0 to squeak through from
the group stage. They then
stunned top-ranked Spain
with a2-0 victory,ending the
European champion’s record
15-game winning streak.
And now, Brazil.
“This is abig opportunity
for us, and one we don’t get
very often,” Donovan said.
“There’s no promise that
we’ll ever get back to afinal
like this, so we’ve got to try
to take advantage of it. If we
lose we lose, butwe’re going
to give everything we have.”
For Brazil, playing in a
final is nothing new. This is its
fourth at the Confederations
Cup, and it’s seeking arecord
third title.
As if that’s not daunting
enough for the Americans,
they’ll also have to try to corral
Kaka, Robinho and Luis
Fabiano without key midfielder
Michael Bradley.
Bradley, the coach’s son,
picked up ared card in the
final minutes of the victory
over Spain and likely will be
replaced by BennyFeilhaber.
The Americans also are
hoping to get another boost
from the South African fans.
Though Spain was the heavy
favorite Wednesday, the
Americans noticed later in
the game, fans were firmly
on the side of the underdogs.

4teams heading
to state playoffs
FROM STAFF REPORTS
The Whitfield County
Parks & Recreation
Department’s Dixie Softball
District 4Tournaments concluded
Saturday at Edwards
Park, producing four teams
— two from each of the 10U
and 8U age groups — that
will advance to the state tournament
July 9-12 in Perry.
The four-team, roundrobin
tournaments featured
three games from Thursday
to Saturday to determine the
top two teams.
In the 8U Dixie Darlings
division, both Dalton and
Whitfield National West
advanced to Perry with 2-1
records.
Dalton beat Whitfield
National East 10-9 on
Thursday,lost to West 1-0 on
Friday, then easily beat
Whitfield American 15-2
Saturday to advance. West
started inthe hole with a16-
2 loss to American on
Thursday, but toughed out
the win over Dalton Friday
before beating East Saturday
in another 15-2 romp.
East and American
advanced to Perry in the 10U
Dixie Angels division. East
was the only undefeated
team of any division, beating
Dalton 11-1 on Thursday and
American 15-2 on Friday
before edging out an 8-7 win
over West on Saturday.
American started strong with
a 10-0 win over West on
Thursday,but wasdominated
by East 15-2 on Friday
before getting back on track
with a7-0 win over Dalton
on Saturday.
“We’re excited,” American
coach Robbie Sharp
said. “The goal was toget
there. Now it’s going to be
a learning experience,
because we don’t know the
competition or the facilities.
Iwas looking at some
of the teams in the tournament,
and they all seem to
be within a50-mile radius
of Perry, so we’ll be the
only ones having to really
travel.”
Perry is approximately
200 miles from Dalton.
The WCPRD’s 12U team
automatically qualified for
state, said Debbie Roper of
the WCPRD. Members from
the Dalton Parks and
Recreation Department’s
12U all-star team have combined
with the WCPRD team
for the state tournament.

Nurturing
bonds with
Popsicles
and pizza
My sister and Ihave a
little private joke that we
share, thanks to our mother
and her sister, God rest
their souls.
It goes like this.
Sometimes, when my sister
calls me (she lives in
South Carolina, where we
grew
up, and
Ilive in
what
she calls
L a s
Vegas
of All
Places,
Sharon
Randall
or for
short,
S i n
City), I
let it
ring a
l o n g
time. Then Ianswer pretending
to be my voice
mail. I’m good at it.
“Please leave a message,”
I say, using that
annoying, chirpy voicemail
kind of voice, “and I
will call you back as soon
as I finish eating my
Popsicle.”
Sometimes Ican sound
so convincing she actually
tries to leave amessage.
Other times Ilaugh, and
she tells me what Ican do
with my Popsicle besides
eating it.
This private joke (not
so private anymore) stems
from a fight that took
place years ago.
My mother was close
with all her eight sisters,
especially her sister
Hazel. After their parents
and most of their sisters
were gone, they stood
alone together at the front
of the family line, and
took comfort in calling
each other often, or as
they said, come hell or
high water.
My mother would call
while Aunt Hazel was
watching her favorite soap
opera, afact Aunt Hazel
found irksome but did not
care to admit.
One day, asapre-emptive
strike, she called my
mother before it was time
for the soap, only to hear,
“Hazel, I’ll call you back
in a while. I can’t talk
now. I’m eating a
Popsicle.”
This made Aunt Hazel
so hopping mad that later,
when my mother called
during the soap, she
refused to answer. Which,
in turn, made my mother
so hopping mad they did
not speak for weeks.
Inever heard how they
made up. Ionly knowthey
did. Soap operas and
Popsicles aside, in the
end, they were sisters.
Today when I called
my sister, she was slow to
answer.
“What were you
doing,” I said, “eating a
Popsicle?”
Instead of laughing,
she started hacking. “I’m
sick,” she said, “sick as a
dog.”
Where we come from,
“sick as adog” is about as
sick as it gets. So Itold her
afunny story to make her
feel better, but it only
made her hack harder.
When she finally quick
hacking, she told me a
much better story.
Picture this. Last night,
after days of being sick,
she drove out her driveway
toput ahouse payment
in the mailbox,
wearing nothing but a
nightie and apair of bedroom
booties. No makeup.
No bra. No purse. No driver’s
license. Not even the
bridge for her teeth.

Pets at weddings:
Why not?
BY LINDA LOMBARDI
For The Associated Press
Kaycee English considers her dog
Bowser part of the family, soincluding
him in her wedding was anobvious
choice.
Hadn’t she spent the year before
her special day scouring
Petfinder.com, wishing she could
adopt a dog? Hadn’t her husband,
John, taken the lead on talking their
landlord into allowing apet?
“I really wanted everyone that I
loved there that day,” said English,
who lives in Freehold, N.J., and
dressed Bowser in atuxedo T-shirt
for ringbearer duty.
The idea of dogs walking down
the aisle or sitting for wedding photos
may be strange — even repulsive
— to some, but alittle planning can
make things run smoothly and bring
families closer together.
Stephanie Baker of Bowling
Green, Ky., said she and her husband,
Steven, adopted their blind dog
Tucker when his story on Petfinder
“tugged at our heartstrings.” They
rarely leave home without him and
felt strongly about including him in
their wedding.
She made one wedding photo a
tribute to her mother,who has cancer.
Baker posed in the same position
with Tucker as Mom did with her
own dog at her wedding 35 years
ago.
“If it’s something that’s important
to you, do it,” Baker said. “If you
have strong feelings about wanting to
include someone, you’ll regret not
doing it.”
Finding avenue that allows dogs
may not be as big adeal as you might
expect. Jessica Sempek of Skokie,
Ill., said she was the first to ask her
chosen location if dogs were allowed
and the reaction was, “Why not?”
Sempek and her husband, Scott
Stewart, had ayoung nephew walk
their dogs Lady Bug and Emmie
down the aisle.
“He took his job so seriously,”
Sempek said.
Once you have your location, be
prepared to answer questions about
the details, like how long you expect
the animals to be there, and many
sites will accommodate, said Wendi
Hroncich, a wedding planner in
Seattle.
“Most venues generally want the
bride and groom to have anything
they want,” she said.
The experienced brides are loaded
with pet planning tips:

■ Don’tforget to schedule adog’s
trip to the groomer. “They went to
the spa just like Idid,” Sempek said.
■ If you’re boarding your dog
after the ceremony, check timing.
Julie Hall of Silver Spring, Md., said
finding a kennel for her pooch
Maddy with late enough drop-off
hours was difficult.
■ Bring treats to help persuade
the dog to participate in the photo
shoot and make sure it can sit and
stay on command. Before her wedding,
Hall took her pet to obedience
classes.
Most couples don’t bring their
pets to the reception — it’s too long
and overwhelming — but being part
of the ceremony really isn’t achallenge
for most dogs, Hroncich said.
“All they have todoisgodown the
aisle and then sit.”
Sempek found that the only unexpected
behavior at her wedding was
little 9-pound Emmie’s reaction to
the music. “She wanted to pick a
fight with the cellist,”she said. “That
was the only time they barked all
day.”
In the end, all the couples thought
the effort was more than worth it —
and reluctant relatives came around.
“After the fact,” English said,
“people look at the photos and say,
’Howcute is this one,’and it’salways
the one with the dog.”

It could have been my imagination,

Iwas reintroduced to the atmosphere
that somehow had adifferent

verses, been seated there, she would
have come up with something along
the line that she “felt the weather
change as springtime wanes and
summer gains.”
Alva liked to write such verses,
but did so quietly, and occasionally I
find one she had written such as this
one written to her mother for
Mother’s Day, 1965:
“God took His finest silver and
gold, jade and pearl and thus, He
made the world.
Then, according to His plan, He
made a man. But still there was

QMight acompanythat rakes

AIt’spossible. Remember —the
moneyacompanytakes in (its
revenue, or sales) is its top line.
Before youget to its bottom line of
profits, youhavetotakeout
expenses, such as salaries, supplies
and taxes. It’scritical to knowhow
much (if anything) the company
keeps as profit, and whether important
numbers, such as sales and profits,
are increasing.
Las Vegas Sands’ sales, for
example, have risen from $2.2
billion in 2006 to $4.4 billion in
2008, while its net income has
fallen into negative territory. That’s
worrisome, but ailing companies
can be good investments sometimes
—ifthey turn themselves around.
Study their financial reports, to
determine whether they’re gaining
or losing market share, how strong
their competitive advantages are,
how much faith you have intheir
management, and whether their
futures seem bright. Look for red
flags such as major legal problems
or investigations into accounting. Or
just skip them and focus instead on
profitable firms.

Dividend Investing
Youmay have heard that dividend
stocks have significantlyoutperformed
their stingier counterparts
since 1972. Youmay have heard that
the majority of the market’shistorical
gains have come from dividends.
And youmay have heard that dividend
payers are the best stocks to
ownduring bear markets. It’sall true.
But dividend investing isn’t
all gumdrops and rainbows.
Fully374 companies reduced
their dividends in 2008. And
more dividends were cut by S&P 500
companies in the first quarter of 2009
than in all of 2008.
To avoid the next dividend implosion,
you’ve got to keep an eyeona
dividend payer’soverall strength —
and its ability to keep paying those
vaunted dividends. So as you’re
looking for dividend stocks for a
bear market, keep an eyeout for red
flags: extremelyhigh yield,industry
headwinds, aspotty track record
and ahigh payout ratio.
Adividend yield that seems too
good to be true usuallyis, because it’s
probably due to the stock having
TheMotley Fool®
plunged in price, with fewinvestors
believing in it. If an industrycomes
under attack —ashappens in cyclical
industries and during economic crises
—there maynot be anyearnings to
distribute, leading to dividend cuts or
suspensions. Automakers and banks
are good recent examples of that.
Companies with checkered histories
of dividend payments aren’tthe
strongest candidates for investment
—especiallyinabear market, when
external factors maystrain their
resources. Fortunately, manycompanies
sportlong dividend histories,
demonstrating their reliability.
McDonald’s, for example, has paid a
dividend each year since 1937.
Acompany’spayout ratio —calculated
by dividing annual dividends by
net income —can help youdetermine
whether it can afford to continue
paying its dividend. Ahigh
ratio suggests the companyisreturning
most of its earnings to shareholders,
with little left over for other uses.

Microsoft (Nasdaq: MSFT) plans
to replace the Vista operating system
with Windows 7inOctober.In
its initial release, Vista wasa
resource hogand less reliable than
Windows XP.AsWindows 7steps
into the fray, Microsoft is facing
entirelynew challenges, such as
strong competitors and the rise of
the netbook system that places new
demands on the operating system.
Laptops are getting smaller and less
impressive,while smartphones only
get more powerful. The convergence
of those twotrends is putting new
operating systems from Microsoft
competitors on netbooks. And now
even mobile service
providers such as AT&T and
Verizon are selling netbooks.
Nonetheless, Microsoft
looks prepared for these challenges.
Windows 7was designed with the
red-hot netbook market in mind,so
it’safair fight. And both corporate
and retail customers mayjump at the
chance to get out of the XP-versus-
Vista dilemma when October comes.
Unless 7turns out to be another disaster

Choose the right cat for your family
SUBMITTED BY THE
HUMANE SOCIETY OF
NORTHWEST GEORGIA
During June, which is
national Adopt-a-Shelter-
Cat Month, many people
have been visiting shelters
and searching Web sites to
find the perfect addition to
their families.
They know there are
many benefits to owning a
cat. But finding just the
“right” feline companion to
brighten afamily’s life and
add a little “wild” to the
home can be a challenge.
The Humane Society of
Northwest Georgia is aware
that making the best choice
is not always an easy task
and offers these tips to
prospective pet owners.
It’s a family affair.
Before deciding on acat, the
entire family should discuss
what type of cat they want
and the family’s situation.
Discussion ahead of time is
important. Better still, bring
the entire family to the
adoption center to meet the
cats and see how they interact
with individual family
members. If everyone can’t
agree, it’s best to come back
at another time and try
again.
Personality counts.
Most people favor acertain
breed or color of cat, but
more important than the
appearance of the cat is its
personality. Stay-at-home
types will prefer a“lap” cat
that likes to cuddle up when
someone is reading or
watching television. More
active families might do better
to choose a playful,
active kitten that will keep
them entertained bychasing
balls and climbing on the
furniture.
Two are better than
one. People who want to
take home a small kitten
might do better to take two.
Having a playmate may
eliminate alot of separation
anxiety or aggression that
could come from being
introduced into anew environment.
And if there are
multiple family members,
having the extra kitty just
increases the fun time —
with no waiting.
Age matters. While there
are no hard and fast rules
about how old children
should be before bringing in
an animal, it’s best to wait
until achild is about 6or7
before allowing him or her to
handle very small animals.
Very young children need to
be supervised so they donot
accidentally injure adelicate
little kitten by squeezing it or
dropping it.
It’s acommitment. Cats
that are well cared for can
live up to 15 to 20 years.
Families need to consider
their own situations before
making an adoption. If a
teenager is planning to go
off tocollege or the family
is planning amajor move in
the near future, it is best to
consider the place of the cat
or kitten in all the plans.
What’sthe bottom line?
All adult cats that are adopted
from the Humane Society
of Northwest Georgia are
fully vetted. They are either
spayed or neutered, are up
to date on vaccinations and
have been tested for feline
leukemia and FIV. Kittens
come with aspay or neuter
certificate to have the procedure
done before they are 6
months old. However, people
considering adopting a
pet need to take alook at
their budgets first. Cats and
kittens will need food, litter,
toys and medical care if they
become ill. An annual exam
and vaccinations are also
essential. Cats may require
less maintenance than dogs,
but families need to consider
the expenses involved
before adoption.
What’s in it for me?
Anyone who adopts ashelter
cat is saving alife and
offering a safe and loving
home to adeserving animal.
Sometimes it takes several
days for acat or kitten to
adjust to a new environment,
but, in the end, the
“right” feline will offer
unconditional love to its
new family.
Many people believe cats
adopt their people, and
when this happens it’s usually
aperfect match. When
the cats and families do not
match perfectly, the
Humane Society lets the
cats return to the shelter to
wait for the ideal family to
walk through the door.

THE DAILY CITIZEN
Make awedding-shower scrapbook
BY SANDI GENOVESE
Scripps Howard News
June signals the beginning
of summer and also the
time that many couples
choose to get married. Your
wedding day is likely to be
one of the most important
days of your life. However, I
want to focus on an event
that precedes the wedding
— the bridal shower.
The shower is traditionally
not as wild as the bachelorette
party and less formal
than the wedding reception.
It’s a time for the future
bride to enjoy all of her gal
pals and for them to wish her
well in her married life.
There will likely be food,
flowers and games, but the
photos that capture the people
and events of the party
are likely to be the party
favorites.
The shower photos are
going to need ahome and
there are plenty of album
options in stores. However,
there is not amore personal
gift for the bride-to-be than a
bridal-shower scrapbook
made by you. Ilike tocombine
photos with personal
notes or marital advice from
each of the guests. The
shower scrapbook is also a
great place to note all of the
shower gifts.
The size of the finished
scrapbook will be dictated
by the size of the photos. I
usually allow for a little
photo trimming in order to
eliminate background clutter
and improve upon the original
image. Consequently,
each photo in this book is 3-
1/2 by 5-1/2 inches. There

There is plenty to

ARIES (March 21-April

talk you out of doing something

finish. A secret plan will
help you obtain assistance
with something that is
important to you. The information
you receive from
someone knowledgeable
will lead to the right decision.

TAURUS (April 20-May

An emotional struggle will
take its toll but, if you are
open to looking at all sides

anyproblems to rest quickly.
Someone from your past

him or her the upper hand. 3

are 12 in all — three rows
with four photos in each
row. Youmay need to photograph
the ladies in groups,
depending on how many
attend the shower.
Begin by cutting astrip of
paper or card stock that is 6-
1/2 inches wide by 11 inches
tall, and accordion-fold it
into four evenly spaced
pleats with a tail on each
end. Fill the pleats with 3-
1/2- by 5-1/2-inch cards that
will hold the photo on one
side and a note from each
guest on the back. The cards
are attached to the pleats in a
regular pattern. The top and
bottom rows of cards are fastened
to the front of each
pleat. The middle row of
cards is fastened to the back
of each pleat. This pattern
results in the cards crisscrossing
when the scrapbook
is pulled open.
Attach afront and back
cover to the ends of the
accordion-pleated strip.
Decorate the covers to
match the colors and season
of the wedding and be sure
to include alined section on
the inside front or back
cover where the shower gifts
can be noted.
It’s easiest for the guests
to write on lined paper (be
sure to have plenty of extras

Let others know what
you have to offer. 3stars
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-
Nov. 21): Youwill be motivated
by someone who
catches your interest personally,
allowing you to expand
on an idea you have been
trying to get off the ground.
Impulse purchases will be
your downfall. 4stars
SAGITTARIUS (Nov.
22-Dec. 21): You’ll have all
the right moves when it
comes to impressing the
people who don’t know you,
butsomeone you are close to
will call your bluff. Don’t
take chances when it comes
to apartnership or you will
be faced with adecision you
aren’t ready to make. 4stars
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-
Jan. 19): You can make
some good decisions that
will help you financially,
emotionally and personally,
but don’t open your pocketbook
unnecessarily. You
should be able to get what
you want without paying for
it, especially if what you
want has to do with the way
you are treated. 2stars

DEAR ABBY:

everything. Her
father is 16, and he
does drugs and
drinks. He says he
loves me and the
baby, but given the
choice, he’d rather
be stoned or drunk
at his friends’ houses
than see his
daughter.
I want him involved in
our lives, but the only time
he sees us is when Itakethe
baby to his house. Iwon’t
allow mydaughter to spend
the night with him because
he smokes, and so does the
rest of the family. I need
your help. Idon’tknowwhat
to do. — TEEN MOMMY
IN ILLINOIS
DEAR TEEN
MOMMY: It appears your
baby’s father is in no condition
to be aparent in any
sense of the word. What
you’re going to have to do is
grow upquickly and realize
that at the rate he’sgoing, he
has no future.
Teenagers who spend
their time drinking and drugging
can’t study, can’t work
and can’t hold a job.
Whether your baby’s father
will even graduate from high
school is questionable. That
is whyitisdoubly important
for you to apply yourself to
your studies and get all the
education you can —
because the odds are great
that you will be supporting
your daughter emotionally
and financially until she’san
adult.
Some schools offer programs
for teen mothers and
dads. Iurgeyou to reach out
and find out what is available
in your community.
DEAR ABBY: Now that
Ihave retired after working
long and hard to provide for
three kids, life wassupposed
to be relaxing and enjoyable.
The problem is, my relationship
with my wife has
become strained.
We don’t seem to agree
on anything. I find her
annoying to be around, and
she feels the same about me.
This leads to arguments, and
after 35 years of marriage, I
confess that for the first time
Idon’t feel the love for her
that Iused to. Ibelieve she
feels the same way. (At least
we agree on something.)
Is this common? Is it
repairable? If not, then walking
the straight and narrow
to reach the golden years
was afool’s error. — OUT

DEAR OUT
TO PASTURE:
What you are
describing is not at
all uncommon. The
good news is, it is
fixable, but it will
take effort on the
part of both you and
your wife.
It might help
your marriage if
you went out into
the community and
volunteered some of your
time. I’m sure aman with
your energy and intellect
would be welcomed with
open arms. And you and
your wife should join some
social groups together so
you can start enjoying each
other again. If that doesn’t
bring some improvement,
then please consider marriage
counseling before you
throwinthe towel.

Dear Amy: How docomputers get glitches? I
really don't like it when my computer does. —
Daphne, Las Vegas
Dear Daphne: People often use the word
“glitch” to describe all kinds of different
computer problems that might happen. Alot
of the time these problems are just abug in
software. After all, real people write software,
and sometimes they make mistakes in their
work. One way you can deal with software
glitches is to make sure you update your
computer software frequently, since new software
updates are released to fix problems or
add new features to aprogram. Youcan do
this by running Windows Update or Apple
Software Update, depending on what kind of
computer you use.
Other times, computer glitches are caused
by your hardware. Some of these problems
go away if you shut down your computer,
wait 10 seconds and power up again. If you
have lots of computer glitches, instead of just
every once in awhile, it's agood idea to
have aprofessional check your computer for
any major problems.
If you want to look for helpful information
online, ask aparent to search the Web
with you for information about your specific
glitch or problem. Good luck!
