Once again the old calendar on the wall
says it’s time to change the clock, trading an
hour’s sleep for more evening sunshine. Most
Americans will set their clocks forward one
hour tonight. Officially the change to daylightsaving
time occurs at 2 a.m. Sunday, though
most folks will reset their clocks and watches
before going to bed.
The shift also serves as a reminder to

as smoke detectors and hazard warning
radios. Standard time will return on Nov. 1.

Man admits to dog killing
B Y M ARK M ILLICAN
markmillican@daltoncitizen.com
Richard Charles Roach, one of
the defendants who allegedly killed
and dismembered a dog in Murray
County, acknowledged his role
Friday at a probation revocation
hearing in Whitfield County.
“Jeffery (Fuller) didn’t have
nothing to do with it — I held him
down and Randall (Blaylock) cut
(the dog’s) head off,”Roach said to
gasps from those in attendance in
Superior Court.
Roach, 50, Fuller, 45, and
Blaylock,54, are each charged with

GOP wary
of health
overhaul
B Y R ICARDO A LONSO-Z ALDIVAR
Associated Press Writer
WASHINGTON — Giving
Americans the option of buying medical
coverage through the government — an
idea put forth by President Barack
Obama — is a potential deal breaker for
some Republicans and insurance companies
whose support would ease the
way for a health care overhaul.
The proposal, which Obama advocated
in his presidential campaign,
would for the first time offer government-sponsored
coverage to middle
class families, as an alternative to private
health plans. By some estimates, it
could reduce premiums by 20 percent or
more — making it much more affordable
to cover the estimated 48 million
people who don’t have health coverage.
But insurers fear competition from a
government plan could drive them out
of business, and Republicans worry it
would lead to a government takeover of
health care. Liberals, meanwhile, are
equally adamant that Americans

pleaded guilty
to violating probation
from a
forgery charge
in Whitfield Roach
County. He was
released from prison in October on
that charge. He is also a registered
sex offender.
Superior Court Judge William
Boyett — who told Roach he is
charged with “cruelty to dogs” —
allowed Bert Poston of the district
attorney’s office to place Roach
under oath to answer the question
about his co-defendants. When
Boyett later asked Roach if he had
violated his probation by taking
part in the alleged killing of the
dog, he responded, “I did.”
Boyett revoked Roach’s probation
and sentenced him to 12 months
to serve in jail.
Public defender Andy Cohen told
Boyett that Roach lives in Murray
County and that Roach requested he
be able to serve his time there instead
of in Whitfield County. Boyett
approved the request.

B Y M ARK M ILLICAN
markmillican@daltoncitizen.com
Although a charge of criminal trespass
against him was dismissed, Franklin
Dwayne Pangle resigned from the Dalton
Fire Department on Thursday.
“I accepted his resignation,” Chief
Bruce Satterfield said on Friday. “I really
can’t discuss the reason he gave for it.”
Pangle did not immediately return a
phone call Friday afternoon.
Pangle, 43,of 1110 LaFayette Road in
Rocky Face, was charged Feb. 1 with
criminal trespass after admitting to being
in the Creative Arts Guild on West
Waugh Street after hours, according to a
Dalton Police Department report. The
charge against him was dismissed in
Dalton Municipal Court last week.
Satterfield said the resignation did not
have to go before Dalton’s Public Safety
Commission. Pangle had been on administrative
leave with pay since his arrest.
Satterfield said he could not respond as to
why Pangle had not returned to work
since the charges were dropped, calling it
“a personnel issue.”

Such a plan could be similar
to what seniors have in
Medicare, which is government
run. Or it might be
designed like the federal
employee health plan, available
to members of
Congress, and delivered
through private insurers.
Whatever he decides,
Obama could find himself
trapped between liberals in
his own party and conservatives
he’s trying to woo in
support of a health care overhaul.
Asked about the issue at
the White House health care
summit this week, the president
said he would address
the qualms. And while saying
he wanted to consider all
ideas,he did not abandon the
notion of a government plan.
“I’m not going to respond
definitively,” Obama said,
answering a question from
Sen. Charles Grassley, R-
Iowa. “The thinking on the
public option has been that it
gives consumers more choices
and it helps ... keep the
private sector honest,
because there’s some competition
out there.
“I recognize, though, the
fear that if a public option is
run through Washington,and
there are incentives to try to
tamp down costs ... that private
insurance plans might
end up feeling overwhelmed.”
Obama says he is committed
to preserving a health
care system in which government,
employers and individuals
share responsibility.
Many Americans may not
realize the government
already picks up nearly half
the nation’s $2.4 trillion
health care bill, through programs
including Medicare
and Medicaid.
A public plan for the middle
class could give a final
nudge that puts the system
squarely in government
hands.
Obama’s campaign proposal
— a foundation for
Democrats in Congress —
called for setting up a national
insurance marketplace
through which individuals
and small businesses could
buy coverage. People could
pick private insurance or opt
for a public plan that would

The Conasauga River
Alliance, the city of Varnell and
Dalton area Girl Scouts are
holding a community workday
at the Varnell Springs today
starting at 9 a.m.
Volunteers will help clear
trash, put up signs and help
remove Chinese privet,an invasive
species that crowds out
native plants.
Volunteers are asked to wear
work clothes and work shoes
and to bring gardening shears if
they have them. The Varnell
Springs are located on
Highway 2 across from the historic
Varnell House.

employees.
Sen. Mike Enzi, R-Wyo.,
meanwhile, said he is wary
that a public plan could make
insurance reforms “a sham.”
His views carry weight
because he is the Senate
health committee’s top
Republican.
“It’s important that the
private market be involved,
and not to set up the whole
thing so it’s a sham to compete
with the government,so
the government eventually
can be the only supplier,”
Enzi said in a recent interview.
“We are not going to
do an expansion of
Medicare. To use that as the
model and try to make
everybody compete with it
would severely limit the
market.”

School breaks
are meant for
fun, right?
Hanging out
with friends and
relaxing are usually
high on the
agenda, especially
for teens.
Not so for 30
area high schoolers
from Murray
County, Dalton
and Southeast
who spent part of
their winter
break helping
others as part of
United Way’s
Volunteer
Vacation.
The group
painted the
inside of the
Teen Center at
the Boys and
Girls Club,
played games
with the children at the
club, renovated the
playground at the
GreenHouse child advocacy
center, cleaned up
West Hill Cemetery,
landscaped the Dalton
Community Center and
made cards for Meals
on Wheels recipients.
And that’s not all. They
also cleaned the covers
of six rows of children’s
books at the Dalton-
Whitfield Library and
sorted clothes at the
Salvation Army.
In total, the youth
donated 14 hours of
their off time — which
did not go unnoticed.
“It was a pleasure
having the students with
us,” said Nick Fogarty,
deputy director of the
library. “The rest of the
community should
know how responsible
and cooperative a group
of teenagers can be.”

Today’s quote: “The most dangerous creation of any

James Baldwin
American author 1924-1987
Customary corruption
In 1932, the federal courts affirmed gangster
Al Capone’s 11-year prison sentence and
heavy fine for income tax evasion. He was
sent to Alcatraz and then the Atlanta pen
before he was given his freedom to die of
advanced syphilis.
How times change. Seven decades later,
the feds determined that Wall Street whiz
Tim Geithner owed more than $34,000 in
back taxes. Geithner said his tax problems
were “an embarrassment,” but President
Barack Obama appointed him just the same
to a Cabinet post. He was easily confirmed
by the Senate to be Treasury secretary,of all
things, and told to overhaul the country’s ailing
financial system.
Former Senate Majority Leader Tom
Daschle was not so lucky. The president
tapped him for secretary of health and human
services. He would guide the administration’s
universal health-care package to passage.
During a perusal of Daschle’s background,
however,anosy government guy discovered
that the former Democratic leader
owed a bundle in long-overdue taxes.
Daschle withdrew his Cabinet nomination.
Former New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson
was on his way to becoming commerce secretary,
then pow! A corruption investigation
shot him down. Superstar government wonk
Nancy Killifer withdrew her name as nominee
for the new and powerful performance
officer’s post. The reason? Unspecified tax
problems.
Just as we started to wonder how many
more geniuses would be disqualified from
federal service in Washington, look what
happened in Atlanta.
State auditors discovered that 10 percent
of the members of the Georgia General
Assembly were state tax evaders.
Of course, Georgia’s grand troika —Gov.
Sonny Perdue, Lt. Gov. Casey Cagle and
House Speaker Romeo Richardson — decided
that Georgia’s tax-evasion list of 22 state
senators and representatives should be kept
secret. The Georgia public had no right to
know the names of its tax-cheating public
officials. “Redacted”was the word of the day
in the state revenue department.
You and I might not be shown the same
courtesy of having our deadbeat tax records
sealed. You and I are not “special people.” We
are not privileged legislators or connected
insiders. We are not eligible for protective
How lucky we are to have Barack
Obama as president. He’s already come
up with a revolutionary idea that escaped
his predecessors :He’s going to scour the
budget for ... “waste and inefficiency"!
“... go line by line through the federal
budget in order to eliminate wasteful and
ineffective programs.”
It’s astonishing that no one has
thought of this before. Who knew programs
could actually be eliminated just
because they don’t work and waste taxpayers’
money?
And he’s making progress.
“[W]e have already identified $2 trillion
in savings over the next decade.”
How will he do it? Here’s an example:
“Agriculture Secretary Vilsack is saving
nearly $20 million with reforms to modernize
programs and streamline bureaucracy.”
Amazing! “Modernize and streamline.”
It is indeed a new day.
Though he says he wants better not
bigger government, Obama plans to
spend a lot more money — on medical
reform, education, energy, etc. He also
promises to halve the deficit by the end of
his term. (Presumptuously he says, “first
term.”)
This is dangerous nonsense. Obama’s
budget numbers are laden with politically
driven assumptions about a rosy future in
which robust economic growth pays for
record-breaking government.
Unfortunately, Obama is simultaneously
working hard to delay recovery by
imposing new taxes on the rich, toadying
up to unions and trial lawyers, being
ambiguous about trade and threatening
all sorts of “activist” government that
makes the future even more unpredictable.
The new taxes are not just the
Bill
Shipp
treatment from the tax collector.
Ethics doesn’t have
much meaning in
Washington or Atlanta or
several other capital cities.
Corruption in government
has become so commonplace
that we hardly notice
news accounts of $50 billion
investment frauds or
multimillion-dollar bonuses
paid to executives with
lousy performance records
— or the tax-evasion
habits of career government types who ought
to know better.
No wonder so few of us wince when we
read that our government has decided to suspend
half of our constitutional rights or that
the General Assembly is eager to approve
public payment for Georgia Power generators
that haven’t even been built. Or that wiretaps,
searches without warrants and arrests without
due process are just part of the way we do
business nowadays. Call it the
Desensitization of America.
■ Stories of Georgia’s tax-evading public
officials are not without their irony. Just as
we calculate that a high percentage of our
population are habitual tax-law violators,
other official charts show that Georgia has
one of the highest imprisonment rates for all
offenses in the country.
■ More Georgia residents are sentenced
to probation than in any other state. That’s
what happens when the prisons are full and
you don’t have any more room to house the
guilty parties.
Perhaps no connection exists between the
public official-tax offenders and street-level
drug dealers or cat burglars. However,one cannot
help but wonder if a state that winks at
criminality among its public-servant class does
not also encourage lawbreaking at lower levels.
In other words, your state legislator ducks
out on paying his share of taxes, and hardly
anyone says “boo.” If you or I are caught
stealing gas and credit cards, shouldn’t we
just be able to go in and plead “embarrassed”?

direct assault on
wealthy taxpayers,but
indirect punishments,
like his cap-and-trade
plan for carbon emissions.
His gifts to
unions go beyond the
outrageous “cardcheck”
rule to the
requirement that stimulus
spending go to
union workers who
must be paid artificially
high Davis-Bacon
wages. All this will
frighten off private capital and suffocate
economic recovery.
Obama’s budget also creates a $634-
billion “reserve fund”for medical reform
— but only $318 billion is to come from
higher taxes. Where will the rest come
from? Where else? Savings squeezed out
of Medicare, Medicaid and other medical
programs.
Give me a break.
It is hard to take seriously his claim
that he will cut old spending to make way
for new spending and a lower deficit. As
The Wall Street Journal points out,“[T]he
2009 budget deficit is estimated to be an
eye-popping 12.7 percent of GDP, which
once again dwarfs anything we’ve seen in
the postwar era. The White House blueprint
predicts that this will fall back down
to 3.5 percent as soon as 2012,but this is
based on assumptions about Washington
that aren’t going to happen.”
One of the most absurd assumptions is
that the new stimulus spending will be
temporary.
Higher stimulus spending in the current
budget becomes the new baseline for
future budgets. Any cuts below that line

T ODAY IN H ISTORY
Today is Saturday,
March 7 ,the 66th day of
2009. There are 299 days
left in the year. A
reminder: Daylight-saving
time begins at 2 a.m.
Sunday. Clocks move forward
one hour.
Highlight in History:
On March 7, 1965, a
march by civil rights
demonstrators was broken
up in Selma, Ala., by state
troopers and a sheriff’s
posse.
On this date:
In 1793, during the
French Revolutionary
Wars,France declared war
on Spain.
In 1850,in a three-hour
speech to the U.S. Senate,
Daniel Webster endorsed
the Compromise of 1850
as a means of preserving
the Union.
In 1876, Alexander
Graham Bell received a
patent for his telephone.
In 1936, Adolf Hitler
ordered his troops to
march into the Rhineland,
thereby breaking the
Treaty of Versailles and
the Locarno Pact.
In 1945, during World
War II, U.S. forces
crossed the Rhine River at
Remagen,Germany,using
the damaged but still
usable Ludendorff Bridge.
In 1994, the Supreme
Court, in Campbell v.
Acuff-Rose Music, Inc.,
ruled that a parody that
pokes fun at an original
work can be considered
“fair use” that doesn’t
require permission from
the copyright holder.
Ten years ago: Movie
director Stanley Kubrick,
whose films included “Dr.
Strangelove,” “A
Clockwork Orange” and
“2001:A Space Odyssey,”
died in Hertfordshire,
England, at age 70.
Five years ago:
Fourteen Palestinians
were killed in the deadliest
Israeli raid in Gaza in
17 months.
One year ago: On the
heels of a gloomy report
that 63,000 jobs were lost
in February 2008,
President George W. Bush
said “it’s clear our economy
has slowed”as he tried
to reassure an anxious
public that the long-term
outlook was good.

Obama the Efficient goes to Washington
John
Stossel
will be condemned as heartless.
Every president promises to save
money by eliminating waste and fraud.
But the savings never materialize.
In Washington, one person’s waste is
another person’s pork. Every dime spent
by the federal government has well-connected
advocates who swear the money is
vital to the national interest. They line up
to testify. Even if they didn’t grease the
palms of lobbyists and congressmen,
their cries would be hard to resist. “This
program will keep this poor woman,your
constituent, alive! Would you be so cold
as to deny her that?”
Congress appropriates the money,and
then the permanent bureaucracy fights
forever to preserve it. After all, its very
life depends on it.
It’s not that people in government
aren’t as good or competent as those in
the private sector (though that may be
true). The difference lies in the incentives
and feedback they face. Bureaucracies
have little check on what they do,no bottom
line, no market prices for their “output.”What
they do have is an incentive to
spend all the money budgeted or risk getting
less next year.
As Milton Friedman used to say,no
one spends other people’s money as carefully
as he spends his own. It is absurd to
think the humongous constellation of federal
bureaucracies is going to identify and
root out “waste” in any significant way.
It’s just not in the nature of the beast.

Madoff plea deal
seems imminent
NEW YORK — Bernard
Madoff has taken steps that
suggest he could plead guilty
as early as next week to
charges that he carried out
one of the biggest financial
frauds in history,lawyers
said Friday. Madoff, 70, is
waiving his right to have a
grand jury hear the government’s
case against him,
agreeing instead to be
charged directly by prosecutors,
astep defendants take
when they are preparing to
plead guilty in a case. It is
unclear when a possible plea
deal could occur, and negotiations
could still fall apart.
Madoff has a hearing in
Manhattan federal court
scheduled for next week that
could serve as the venue for
a guilty plea.
Obama defends
stimulus
COLUMBUS, Ohio —
While aknowledging an
“astounding” number of job
losses in February,President
Barack Obama told critics of
his $787 billion economic
recovery plan Friday that it is
saving jobs and said, “I know
we did the right thing.” He
suggested that critics talk to
25 police recruits in Ohio’s
capital city who owe their
jobs to stimulus spending
and “talk to the teachers who
are still able to teach our
children because we passed
this plan.” News that 651,000
jobs were lost in February
brings to “an astounding 4.4
million” the number of jobs
lost since the recession
began, Obama said. The
unemployment rate spiked to
8.1 percent.
Stopgap spending
bill approved
WASHINGTON — With
a $410 billion catchall spending
bill stalled in the Senate
and a midnight deadline
looming, Congress rushed
through stopgap legislation
Friday to keep the government
running for another five
days. The House passed the
bill by a 328-50 vote; the
Senate acted by unanimous
voice vote. President Barack
Obama will sign the measure
later Friday. The stopgap
measure was needed because
on Thursday night, Senate
Republicans unexpectedly
put the brakes on the sweeping

omnibus bill would award
domestic agencies with big

Limbaugh blasted
for comment
WASHINGTON — A
Democratic official rebuked
conservative commentator
Rush Limbaugh on Friday
for suggesting a health care
proposal will be named in
memory of Sen. Edward
Kennedy,who is battling
brain cancer. On his radio
show,Limbaugh said
President Barack Obama’s
proposed health care revisions
will be championed by
“the liberal lion Teddy
Kennedy.” “Before it’s all
over, it’ll be called the Ted
Kennedy Memorial Health
Care bill,”Limbaugh said.
Brian Wolff, executive director
of the Democratic
Congressional Campaign
Committee, called the
remark outrageous and reprehensible.
Franken can’t take
Senate seat yet
ST. PAUL, Minn. — The
Minnesota Supreme Court on
Friday blocked Democrat Al
Franken’s petition for an
election certificate that would
put him in the U.S. Senate
without waiting for a lawsuit
to run its course. The decision
means the seat will
remain empty until the lawsuit
and possible appeals in
state court are complete.
Republican Norm Coleman’s
lawsuit challenging
Franken’s recount lead is at
the end of its sixth week, and
both sides expect it to last at
least a few more weeks.
Source: Obama to reverse
limits on stem cell work
WASHINGTON (AP) —
Reversing an eight-year-old
limit on potentially life-saving
science, President
Barack Obama plans to lift
restrictions Monday on taxpayer-funded
research using
embryonic stem cells.
The long-promised move
will allow a rush of research
aimed at one day better treating,
if not curing, ailments
from diabetes to paralysis —
research that crosses partisan
lines, backed by such notables
as Nancy Reagan and
the late Christopher Reeve.
But it stirs intense controversy
over whether government
crosses a moral line with
such research.
Obama will hold an event
at the White House to
announce the move, a senior
administration official said
Friday. The official spoke on
condition of anonymity
because the policy had not
yet been publicly
announced.
Embryonic stem cells are
master cells that can morph
into any cell of the body.
Scientists hope to harness
them so they can create
replacement tissues to treat a
variety of diseases — such as
new insulin-producing cells
for diabetics, cells that could
help those with Parkinson’s
disease or maybe even
Alzheimer’s, or new nerve
connections to restore movement
after spinal injury.
“I feel vindicated after
eight years of struggle, and I
know it’s going to energize
my research team,” said Dr.
George Daley of the Harvard
Stem Cell Institute and
Children’s Hospital of
Boston, aleading stem cell
researcher.
But the research is controversial
because days-old
embryos must be destroyed
to obtain the cells. They typically
are culled from fertility-clinic
leftovers otherwise
destined to be thrown away.
Under President George
W. Bush, taxpayer money for
that research was limited to a
small number of stem cell
lines that were created
before Aug. 9, 2001, lines
that in many cases had some
drawbacks that limited their
potential usability.
But hundreds more of
such lines — groups of cells
that can continue to propagate
in lab dishes — have
been created since then,ones
that scientists say are healthier,
better suited to creating
treatments for people rather
than doing basic laboratory
science.
Work didn’t stop. Indeed,
it advanced enough that this
summer, the private Geron
Corp. will begin the world’s
first study of a treatment
using human embryonic
stem cells, in people who
recently suffered a spinal
cord injury.
Nor does Obama’s
change fund creation of new
lines. But it means that scientists
who until now have
had to rely on private donations
to work with these
newer stem cell lines can
apply for government money
for the research, just like
they do for studies of gene
therapy or other treatment
approaches.
The aim of the policy is to
restore “scientific integrity”
to the process, the administration
official said.
“America’s biomedical
research enterprise experienced
steady decline over the
past eight years, with shrinking
budgets and policies that
elevated ideology over science.
This slowed the pace of
discovery and the search for
cures,” said Sean Morrison,
director of the University of
Mayor Meets Y oung Leaders
City of Dalton Mayor David Pennington recently
had lunch with the United Way Young Leaders
Society in the Creative Arts Guild’s main gallery.

Some areas where
researchers say stem cells of
various types may one day
prove of value, although all
the research is in very early
stages:
■ California-based Geron
Corp. will start the world’s first
study of a treatment based on
human embryonic stem cells
this summer, a project aimed
at patients who recently suffered
a spinal cord injury that
left their legs paralyzed.
Study participants will be
given a single injection within
two weeks of the injury, to see
if the treatment helps repair
damaged nerves.
Stem cells have helped
paralyzed rodents move
again in several ways, including
helping to regrow
destroyed nerve cells in the
spinal cord and successfully
restoring myelin, a nerve fiber
insulation that helps maintain
Michigan’s Center for Stem
Cell Biology.
Critics immediately
denounced the move.
“Taxpayers should not
have to foot the bill for
experiments that require the
destruction of human life,”
said Tony Perkins of the conservative
Family Research
Council. “President Obama’s
policy change is especially
troubling given the significant
adult stem cell advances

■ Scientists are working
to create insulin-producing
cells for diabetics, and cells

Parkinson’s disease patients.
■ Last year, researchers
used human embryonic stem

in lab tests — like natural red

to one day ramp up the
blood supply.
■ Embryonic stem cells
aren’t the only type. Studies
also are under using adult

patients’ own blood or bone

derived from the placenta is
planned soon.
■ Researchers also are

patients now without harming
or destroying human

Indeed, there are different
types of stem cells:So-called
adult stem cells that produce
a specific type of tissue;
younger stem cells found
floating in amniotic fluid or
the placenta. Scientists even
have learned to reprogram
certain cells to behave like
stem cells.

State impounds
starving horses
JONESBORO (AP) —
The state Agriculture
Department says it has
impounded nine horses from
a Jonesboro farm after finding
them “extremely emaciated.”
Department spokesman
Arty Schronce said Thursday
two dead horses also were
found on the farm.
He says officials visited a
farm owned by a doctor,
Phillip Breaton, on Tuesday
after getting numerous calls
about skinny horses.
Inspectors returned a day
later with a veterinarian.
The horses were taken to
state stables in Newton
County. Schronce says they
are expected to recover.
Ten other horses in better
condition were left on the
property with written
instructions on how to care
for them.

ALittle Worn
worn out chair may get left behind in amove, because it’s
A not nice enough for the new house. It’s worn for good reason.
Somebody sat in it to read the morning paper and to watch television at
night. Perhaps achild was rocked to sleep in his mother’s arms while
she rested in it. Kids may have jumped and crawled all over it.
Some of us might consider forsaking the revered and trusted to
search for novel methods for coping and finding contentment. We don’t
need to –God is faithfully waiting to give our spirit rest and to hold us
in His loving arms. Just like acomfortable old chair.
There’s aplace of comfort for you in God’s house this week, why not
step inside and have aseat?

CARROLLTON — The Northwest
Whitfield Lady Bruins proved Friday they
can compete with the state’s best teams,but
came up short in a 57-49 loss to defending
champion Southwest Dekalb in the Georgia
High School Association Class 4A state
tournament quarterfinals at the University
of West Georgia.
The loss ended one of the best seasons in
program history for Northwest’s girls.
The Lady Bruins (28-3) went back and
forth with the Lady Panthers (27-4) for
nearly 32 minutes, leading ever-so-slightly
after each of the first three quarters.
Northwest led 32-31 heading into the fourth
period. But Southwest DeKalb’s 13-6 run,
which started near the seven-minute mark
and ended four minutes later with the Lady
Panthers up 46-40, created a hole the Lady
Bruins couldn’t escape.
“I just felt like we didn’t do as good a
job as we needed to on the boards,” said
Northwest coach Margaret Stockburger,
whose team was outrebounded 23-20. “I
felt like that was going to be a key for us.
But I told them in the locker room, they
should focus on what a good year we’ve
had. We won the region, we won 28 games,
and I told them they need to keep their
heads up.
“What a wonderful group of girls and
they were a joy to coach.”
The Lady Bruins’ 28 wins ties a school
record and their trip to the quarterfinals is the
deepest they’ve advanced since 1990, when
they reached the championship game. They
finished a perfect 13-0 at home this season
and were Region 7-4A champions for the
second time in four years. But a trip to the
state semifinals this season just wasn’t to be.
The Lady Bruins appeared to gain
momentum starting the fourth quarter as
sharpshooter Jordi Cook drilled one of her
WOW, WHAT A YEAR!
Here’s a look back at some of the more
memorable accomplishments for this year’s
Northwest Whitfield Lady Bruins:
■ Went 14-0 during the regular season vs.
Region 7-4Acompetition to claim the No. 1
seed for the league tourney, where they won
three games to claim the title with a 55-37
victory against Osborne.
■ Made their third appearance in four seasons
in the region championship game.
■ Held winning streaks of nine and 18
games, the second of which extended into
the postseason.
■ Won Southeast’s Thanksgiving Classic
and finished sixth at Brookwood’s Deep
South Classic in December.
■ Went undefeated at home, winning all 13
of their games in Tunnel Hill, including state
tournament victories against Loganville (55-
40) and Mays (56-51).
■ Claimed a state tourney berth for the fifth
consecutive season and made the team’s
deepest run in the postseason since
advancing to the title game in 1990.
■ Finished season in top 10 of Class 4A
polls by Gasports.com (No. 10) and The
Associated Press (No. 5).
three 3-pointers just 14 seconds in to give
Northwest a 35-31 lead. But as was the case
each time Northwest tried to take control,
Southwest Dekalb quickly responded.
Jamesha Blake hit a short jump shot seconds
after Cook’s basket to silence a large

Southwest DeKalb, which is a much shorter

F ROM S TAFF R EPORTS
Northwest Whitfield built a
4-0 lead, but the bottom of the
seventh inning turned into a
nightmare Friday.
Ringgold scored eight runs
in the seventh — the rally was
capped by Erick Hull’s grand
slam — and stunned the Bruins,
8-4, in a non-region baseball
game played at Ringgold High.
“For 6 1/3 innings we played
a great game,” Bruins coach
Todd Middleton said. “Chase
Plott pitched great with quick
innings and gave up only two
hits. Going into the seventh he
had thrown under 70 pitches.”
Plott got a quick out in the
seventh, but things unraveled
after that.
He allowed back-to-back singles,
walked a batter and then
another single produced the
Tigers’ first run. Jay Motley
relieved Plott and a ground ball
off an infielder’s glove pushed
another run across the plate,
cutting Northwest’s lead to 4-2.
A line drive hit off a fielder’s
glove tied the game at 4 and left
runners at second and third.
“Both those balls were hit
hard to the infield,” Middleton
said. “The second one was a
Howitzer.”
After an intentional walk,
Hull delivered his game-winning
homer.
Hull’s heroics overshadowed
Jordan Darnell’s two solo
homers coming in the third and
seventh innings. Diego
Hernandez, who had two hits,
belted a homer in the first to
give the Bruins a 1-0 lead.
Hernandez singled in the sixth
and eventually scored on a wild
pitch. Hunter Key added a double
for the Bruins (1-3).

Rome’s Jake Williams pitched a
complete game, allowing six hits.

Athletes competing at today’s
Northwest Invitational are expected
to enjoy temperatures about 40
degrees warmer today than a year
ago, when the meet was postponed
for more than a month.
With the thermometer expected
to hover in the mid-30s with a
chance of snow flurries last March,
Northwest coaches pulled the plug
on the early-season event.
It was eventually held on April
12 and the Bruins and Lady Bruins
won both team titles in a field with
approximately half the athletes slated
to appear on the originally
scheduled date due to the delay and

Shootout goes
Southeast’s way
B Y M ARTY K IRKLAND
martykirkland@daltoncitizen.com
Southeast’s move from Region
7-4A to 6-3A has taken some of
the postseason implications away
from its matchups with Dalton on
the soccer field.
But it’s done nothing to diminish
the importance attached to the
area’s biggest soccer rivalry —
and the games don’t appear to be
ready to give up the dramatic finishes
that have become expected,
either.
Noel Pimentel converted the
decisive penalty kick as Southeast
won a 3-2 shootout with the visiting
Catamounts at Raider Stadium
on Friday night after both teams
went scoreless in 80 minutes of
regulation play and 10 minutes of
overtime.
Dalton’s girls forced a split
with their 3-0 victory against the
Lady Raiders earlier in the
evening.
A sophomore sweeper who’s in
a full-time starting role for the first
season, Pimentel kept his shot simple
and straightforward in delivering
the win.
“My thought was just scoring,
just try to make it in the net,”he
said. “That’s all. I was just trying
to make it. That was it.”
That’s all Southeast coach
Jamison Griffin, whose Raiders (7-
2) have now won two consecutive
games in the series, wanted
Pimentel to do.
With several of his players suffering
from illness or injury —

Northwest Whitfield’s Quaneisha McCurty (44), Christy Robinson (33) and Callie Thomas (11) play
defense as Southwest DeKalb’s Chyna Myles shoots during their Class 4A state tournament quarterfinal
game Friday afternoon at the University of West Georgia in Carrollton. The Lady Bruins lost, 57-49.
State: McCurty has 13 points, 10 boards
➣ Continued from page 1B
Northwest a 37-33 lead with 7:17 left,
the Lady Raiders began their run and
gained a 40-37 lead with 5:28 remaining
on Chancie Dunn’s three-point
play.
Southwest DeKalb never trailed
again and forced three key turnovers to
keep the Lady Bruins at bay.
In the game’s final three minutes,
Northwest battled to keep its season
alive, but could only trade baskets with
the Lady Panthers. Southwest DeKalb
answered baskets from Northwest
posts Christy Robinson and Quaneisha
McCurty with two buckets from post
Laquisha Lewis and Blake. The result
was a 50-44 Lady Panthers lead with
1:53 remaining.
Northwest caught one last glimmer
ultimately handled the
shootout duties — Griffin
seemed quite pleased to get
a victory by any route.
“The only one that I
knew would not miss was
Noel,”the coach said. “Not
that I don’t have confidence
in my other guys, but sometimes
we joke around in
practice and I get in the box
and take penalties with
them. He’s got the hardest
foot on the team.”
Southeast, which went
second in the round of five
penalty kicks, had earlier
opportunities to gain
ground on the Cats (3-3)
but never moved too far
ahead as Dalton goalkeeper
Ivan Salas made a pair of
big stops.
After both teams made
their first penalties —
Dalton’s Angel Arellano
and Southeast’s Sammy
Torres converted — the
Cats’ Heriberto Hernandez
pushed the ball high and
over the net. But Salas, a
senior, punched away
Alejandro Garcia’s attempt
to keep things even at 1-1.
Dalton’s Jose Rangel
then hit the crossbar and
Romero Madrigal gave the
Raiders a jolt when he converted
for a 2-1 edge, but
the Cats drew even on
Adrian Hernandez’s shot
and kept it that way when
Salas stopped Carlos
Flores’ attempt for the
Raiders.
But then Dalton’s Rene
Real went high and to the
right, setting up Pimentel’s
dramatic kick, which gave
the Raiders their first win at
home in the rivalry. Last
season, they picked up their
first victory against the Cats
with a 4-4 (5-3) shootout
victory at Dalton’s Harmon
Field that paved the way to
their Region 7-4A championship
that ended a sevenyear
reign by Dalton.
“We actually practiced
penalty kicks yesterday
after we saw the girls match
go to penalties,”Griffin
of hope when Cook hit a 3 with 1:05 on
the clock to pull the Lady Bruins to
within 51-47.
But with time running out,Northwest
was forced to put the Lady Panthers at
the free throw line and they made 7 of 8
tosses down the stretch.
The Lady Bruins were led by
McCurty’s 13 points and 10 rebounds.
Robinson added six points, eight
rebounds and led the team with four
assists.
Cook finished with 11 points and
Baleigh Coley had six points on two 3s
and two steals.
Southwest DeKalb, the No. 2 seed
out of 6-4A,will play Region 1-4A No.
1 seed Bainbridge on Wednesday at the
Gwinnett Arena in the semifinals.
The Lady Panthers were led by
Kayla Lewis, who had a game-high 15
said, “and just realized we
needed to be ready.”
It marked the end of a
tough week for Dalton,
which suffered its first-ever
loss to border rival Murray
County on Tuesday,also
via shootout.
But the Cats showed
marked improvement from
the Murray County loss,
during which they struggled
to control possession and
create scoring opportunities,
much less find the net.
That — and perhaps the
fact that it won’t affect
Dalton’s Region 7-4A
record — were of some
comfort to Dalton coach
Matt Cheaves as he and his
players watched Southeast
celebrate nearby.
“We played a great game
tonight,”Cheaves said. “We
controlled the flow of the
game. By my count, we had
27 shots to their five. So
everything’s there but the
goals. We’ll just have to
work through it and stay
positive.”
The Cats return to the
field with yet another rivalry
game next Tuesday in a
region matchup at
Northwest Whitfield.
“We’ll find out what
we’re made of here,”
Cheaves said. “We’ll test
points,and Blake’s 14. Laquisha Lewis
added 11 points.
“I was very impressed with
Northwest Whitfield,” Lady Panthers
coach Kathy Walton said. “That’s a
great team. But I think our kids had a
little bit more confidence because
they’ve been (to the state semifinals)
before and believed they could get
there again.”
Though it wasn’t how Callie
Thomas — who along with Jasmine
Thornton made up the team’s senior
class — wanted her season to end,
she’s proud of what the Lady Bruins
accomplished.
“It was a good season,” said
Thomas, who scored four points. “It’s
sad that it ended today,but this is one
of the best seasons I’ve had at
Northwest.”

make us stronger. It hasn’t
killed us. Our spirit’s still
strong, we know we’re a
good team. Hat’s off to
Southeast, they did what it
took to win the penalty
kicks and we didn’t.”
The last time the Raiders
found themselves in a
shootout, it was not on the
happy side. Southeast fell
3-1 to Lakeside-DeKalb
last May on penalty kicks.
This was a much better
feeling for the Raiders —
especially with Dalton the
opponent.
“This is just for pride
basically,”Villasenor said.
“The feeling’s amazing.
After losing for so many
years and then finally coming
back and us being the
top dog now,it’s great.
Rivalry and pride, that’s the
two things.”
Still,Villasenor
acknowledged that the Cats
controlled much of the pace
of the game until it got to
penalty kicks — and that
the Raiders are far from a
finished work yet. They’ll
also have a second matchup
with Dalton this year, facing
the Cats at Harmon
Field on March 27.
“There were a couple
times we were lucky and our
keeper did pretty good,”
Villasenor said. “Both keepers
did really good. We were
lucky that the crossbar helped
us a couple times. There’s a
lot of room to work. Not our
best game yet.”

Northwest girls coach
Richard Taylor said.
The forecast calls for the
temperature reaching the

The temperature should
already be in the 50s when
the field events begin at 9:30

“When we originally set
up the invitational about 13

have eight teams competing
to kick off the season,”
Taylor said.
“At one point we got up to
15 teams. With eight teams,
it’s a more manageable meet
and a much shorter day. And
to me, it’s sort of a friendly,
good-spirited type day. This
just gets everybody going.”

(54-2 1/2) and was second in
the discus (124-7 1/2). Talley
won the discus (136-10 1/2)
and shot (43-4).
Northwest’s Morgan
Williams and Dalton’s Megan
Behr shared the girls
most outstanding track athlete
award while Dalton’s
Daniel Grass and Northwest’s
Cameron Griffin
shared the boys honors in
that category.
Williams won the 400
meter run (58.24) and the
800 (2:27.80) while Behr,
running alone in the 100
meter hurdles final, still
turned in her second-best
time of 16.32. She also won
the 300 hurdles in 50.37.
Grass captured the 400 in
49.4 and the 800 in 2:03.66.
Griffin won the 300 hurdles
(42.11) and the 110 hurdles
(15.07).
With good conditions and
full squads, Taylor expects
stiff competition throughout
today’s meet.
“The Dalton and Northwest
boys should be a good
matchup,” Taylor said.
“Dalton beat Northwest in
last year’s region meet. In
girls, we should be the
strongest team,but I’m missing
a number of good athletes
(from the basketball
team). That takes away a lot
of my scorers.”

HAMPTON — Mark
Martin claimed the top spot at
Atlanta Motor Speedway on
Friday night, making him the
secondoldest
pole
winner in
NASCAR
Cup history.
The 50-year-old Martin
turned a lap of 187.045 mph
for Sunday’s Kobalt Tools
500, earning his 42nd career
pole but first since May 5,
2001, at Richmond.
Only Harry Gant,who was
54 when he claimed the pole
in August 1994 at Bristol,was
older than Martin.
“I feel like a rookie,”Martin
said. “I really,really do.”
With everyone renewing
their complaints about a lack
of tire grip on the highbanked,
1.54-mile oval,
Martin managed to hold
things together for a nearly
perfect run that took less
than 30 seconds.
Kurt Busch will start from
the outside of the front row
after a lap of 186.365. He
knew he was racing for the
second spot after Martin’s
speed went up.
The rest of the top 10 was
Jamie McMurray,Juan Pablo
Montoya, Greg Biffle,
Denny Hamlin, Jimmie
Johnson, Joe Nemechek,
Kyle Busch and Kevin
Harvick. Points leader Jeff

Ryan Newman qualified
12th, just behind his team

Charlotte beats
Hawks, 98-91
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Gerald
Wallace scored 21 points and Charlotte used
a near-perfect first quarter to build a big
lead and hung to beat the struggling Atlanta
Hawks 98-91 on Friday, the Bobcats’ franchise
record-tying fifth straight victory.
The Bobcats continued their late-season
surge under first-year coach Larry Brown
that’s put them into playoff contention by
taking advantage of the bumbling Hawks,
who played without benched starter Josh
Smith in the second half and lost for the
sixth time in eight games.
Al Horford scored 15 points for the
Hawks, who fell behind 36-21 after the first
quarter and then played without Smith in
the second half after he got into an argument
with coach Mike Woodson at halftime.
Smith had 13 points before his benching.
Emeka Okafor added 17 points and 11
rebounds, Felton had 17 points and 10
assists, and Boris Diaw had 13 points and
13 assists.

A delicate situation
There are
times when
declarer must
exercise great
care to keep a
particular
opponent out
of the lead. An
example of the
delicate handling
that
might be
required is provided
by
today’s deal.
Declarer
ducked the first
two spade leads
and won the
third as East
discarded a low
club. With only
six sure tricks
in view, South
had to find three more and decided that the diamond suit
offered the best chance. However, the diamonds had to be
developed without allowing West to gain the lead and cash
his two good spades.
Superficially,it may seem that this plan will succeed if
declarer finds a 3-3 division of the missing diamonds with
East holding the king. But even if the diamonds are divided
this way,more than ordinary care is required for South
to get home safely.
Suppose South crosses to dummy with a club at trick
four and leads a diamond to the queen. Having gotten over
this hurdle, he then cashes the ace. All would be well if
East routinely followed low, but if East alertly deposits
the king of diamonds under the ace, declarer will not be
able to establish the suit without losing the lead to West’s
jack.
To circumvent this possibility, after the diamond
finesse wins South should re-enter dummy with a club
and lead another diamond. If East follows low, the ace is
played, and East is then given the king. Alternatively, if
East puts up the king on the second diamond lead, South
lets him hold the trick; when the suit later divides evenly,
the contract is made.
As long as declarer handles his diamonds with tender,
loving care, West cannot gain the lead. Even if East plays
the king on the first diamond lead from dummy,South can
counter by allowing the king to win, and again nine tricks
come rolling home.

Georgia (18-13) trailed 62-56
when Ashley Houts, the Lady
Bulldogs’ leading scorer this season,
scored her only points of
the game on a 3-pointer with
2:06 to play. Houts then fed
Angel Robinson underneath to
cut it to 62-61 with 1:22 left.
“If you disrupt Ashley Houts,
you disrupt Georgia, and that
really was what the plan was,”
Vanderbilt coach Melanie
Balcomb said.
But Vanderbilt (22-8) answered
with a 3 by Marsh and
two foul shots by Wirth to make
it 67-61 lead with 31.3 seconds
to play.
“We didn’t defend the dribble,
we didn’t defend the 3,”Georgia
coach Andy Landers said. “No
sense of urgency about defending
those things.”
Robinson had 29 points and
16 rebounds for Georgia.
■ Tennessee 71, Florida 67:
At North Little Rock,Ark.,
Angie Bjorklund scored 25
points, and No. 19 Tennessee
beat No. 21 Florida to advance
to the semifinals of the SEC
tournament.
Bjorklund went scoreless the
previous night in Tennessee’s
first-round win over Alabama,
but she made an impact immediately
against Florida, scoring 13
points in the first half to help the
Lady Vols (22-9) take a 38-21
lead into intermission.
Florida (23-7) pulled within
three late, but Tennessee’s Kelley
Cain caught an airball by teammate
Shekinna Stricklen and was
fouled hard by Marshae Dotson
with 3:26 remaining. After a nearaltercation
under the basket, Cain
made both free throws to start a
7-0 run that put the game away.
Tennessee improved to 38-3
in its series against Florida and
avenged a 66-57 loss to the
Gators last month.
In the day’s first game,
Auburn’s DeWanna Bonner
scored 32 points to break the
school record with 2,084 career
points and led the Tigers past
Mississippi, 71-65.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL: FLORIDA STATE
’Noles dealt hard-hitting NCAA sanctions
T HE A SSOCIATED P RESS
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Florida
State received four years’ probation
from the NCAA on Friday and will
lose scholarships in football and may
forfeit games because of a widespread
academic cheating scandal
involving all 10 sports.
Football coach Bobby Bowden,
whose 382 wins are one behind Penn
State’s Joe Paterno for the most alltime
among major college coaches,
could have several victories taken
away if players participated after
their involvement in the cheating.
The NCAA report says 61 Florida
State athletes cheated on an online
test from the fall of 2006 through
summer 2007 or received improper
help from staffers who provided
them with answers to the exam and
typed papers for them.
The university immediately
issued a release that it would challenge
any attempt to strip the school
of any victories or championships.
“We did not allow anyone who we
knew was ineligible to compete,”
Florida State President T.K. Wetherell
said. “Our position throughout the
inquiry was that as soon as we knew
of a problem, they didn’t play.”
Dennis Thomas, commissioner of
the Mid-Eastern Athletic
Conference, said the infractions
committee does not consider an individual
athlete or coach when contemplating
penalties.
“The committee does not get into
whether or not you have a famous athlete
or a famous coach or if a record is
involved,” Thomas said. “The committee
adjudicates the facts.”
Wetherell said the school would
seek clarification on vacating any
wins as well as its appellate opportunities.
The committee called the Florida
State case “extremely serious”
because of the large number of student-athletes
involved in various men
and women’s sports, citing unethical
conduct by three former staff members
and a failure to monitor by the
university. Academic fraud is considered
among the most egregious of
NCAA rules violations.
The cheating occurred mainly
through online testing for a single
music history course in the fall of
2006 and the spring and summer
semesters of 2007. It included
staffers helping students on the test
and, in one case, asking one athlete
to take it for another.
The cheating took place in football,
baseball, softball, men’s and
women’s basketball, men’s and
women’s swimming, men’s and
women’s track and field and men’s
golf.
Florida State played in the 2007
Music City Bowl without two dozen
players, including several starters.
The Seminoles were defeated by
Kentucky.

Jokes about psychiatrist’s
couch aren’t amusing to wife
DEAR ABBY: Will you please explain to
your readers that doctors do not
practice medicine 24 hours a day?
Each time we reveal to people that
my husband is a psychiatrist, we
have to put up with unfunny jokes
about how he’s going to analyze
them,or insinuations that all he does
is sit on a couch and ask, “And how
do you feel about that?” How should
we respond to these misconceptions?
— NOT LAUGHING IN
IOWA
DEAR NOT LAUGHING: The
attempts at humor are not a reflection
on your husband or the psychiatric
profession. They are a clue that
the person may be afraid that if he or she
opens up and talks with him, he may realize
that he or she is “crazy.”
Your question takes me back to my childhood,
when our family lived in the Midwest
and the first psychiatrist moved to the city
and opened a practice. For months, no one
would talk to the poor man for exactly that
reason.
When people “joke” that your husband is
going to analyze them, he should smile and
say,“Don’t worry — I’m off duty.” (If I were
in his shoes, I’d be tempted to ask, “... and
how do you feel about that?”)

DEAR ABBY: I am being marred in the
fall. Ever since I was 11, I have had
a wonderful beagle. She sleeps in
my bed and I take her everywhere.
She cuddles with me and has been
there for me during some of the
most terrible times in my life. I treat
her like she’s my baby.
Abby, I want my dog to attend
my wedding. One of my best friends
— one of my bridesmaids — says a
dog shouldn’t be allowed to attend
the wedding. I say she should be.
Who is right? — BRIDE-TO-BE
IN ALABAMA
DEAR BRIDE-TO-BE: I have
heard of dogs not only attending
weddings, but also being part of the bridal
party. However, whether your four-legged
companion will be welcomed at your wedding
may depend on how the person who
officiates feels about it — and that is the person
you should consult.
DEAR READERS: For those of you who
live where Daylight Saving Time is
observed, I offer a gentle reminder. Don’t
forget to turn your clocks forward one hour
before you go to bed tonight because
Daylight Saving Time begins at 2 a.m.
tomorrow.
