Friend: ‘We asked him to wait’
BY MARK MILLICAN
markmillican@daltoncitizen.com
Bo Hackney and his 9-year-old
daughter Ashley were enjoying
Easter festivities on Sunday with
the family of the couple they were
living with. Then Bo became eager
to leave and go fishing on the nearby Conasauga River, said Daniel
Williams.
“We had that boat trip planned
for about three weeks,” Williams
said, explaining that Bo and Ashley
had come to live with him and his
wife Jennifer in their southwestern
Murray County home around two
months ago. Prior to that, the father
and daughter had been living with
Bo’s father, Winston Hackney, said
Williams.
“All my family was here,”
Williams said of the get-together at
4245 Brown Bridge Road. “We
were having a cookout and the kids
were hunting Easter eggs. We had
really grown close to Bo — and
Ashley too. But Bo was eager to go
fishing. We all asked him to wait,
and his last words were, ‘Don’t
worry, I won’t end up like that
other boy.’”
Williams said he was referring
to Brett Thomason, the 19-year-old
who was found apparently
drowned in the Consasauga last
month after going missing in mid-

February.
“I went to check on him after
that,” said Williams. “The first time
he was sitting there getting his
(fishing gear) ready. The boat was
half-in and half-out of the river. I
asked him to wait and he said,
‘You’re coming back, aren’t you?’

Although the current dire economic situation doesn’t seem to
offer much hope, there is positive
news, said Danny Cope, manager
of the Georgia Department of
Labor Dalton Career Service
Center.
While thousands of Georgians
have lost their jobs during the
nationwide economic downturn, it
has given laid-off workers a chance
to ready themselves for the turnaround by returning to college, bettering their education and updating
job skills, he said.
“I think it’s important to look at
the positives and trust that the economic system will get back on
track,” Cope told a group of about
50 attendees at the League of
Women Voters of the Dalton Area’s
57th annual meeting Thursday
night.
Other speakers at the event were
Brian Anderson, president of the
Dalton-Whitfield Chamber of
Commerce; Whitfield County
administrator Bob McLeod; and
Dalton Mayor David Pennington.
Cope noted that statistics
released Thursday showed the state
jobless rate held steady at 9.2 percent in March, the first time in 20
straight months there was no
month-to-month increase. Cope
estimates of the 6,500 jobs lost in
Metro Dalton (Murray and
Whitfield counties) in the past
year, 30 percent to 40 percent have
To improve the economy both
locally and nationally, the country
needs to put a renewed focus on
manufacturing, Pennington said.
He considers Dalton, the Carpet
Capital of the World, as one of the
few remaining manufacturing
bases.
“I don’t believe you can build an
economy without building something, growing something or digging something out of the ground,”
Pennington said. “If you try to
build an economy on anything
other than those three things,
you’re going to build it on ships
and sands. And we’re seeing what
happens when we lose the amount

Mankind is facing “the end of human
civilization as we have come to we know
it” because of global warming, according
to activist Jeremy Rifkin, citing NASA
climatologist James Hansen. But we are
also on the cusp of a “third industrial revolution” that might be able to stave off
collapse.
Rifkin spoke Thursday night in Dalton
State College’s Memorial Hall.
He referenced a number of problems
he said could be linked to global warming
including increased hurricane intensity,
drought and extinction of various species,
which could grow worse if global warming continues.
He said one moderate prediction is that
the earth’s temperature could increase
three degrees Celsius by the end of this
century if nothing is done.
“Three degrees takes us back to the
temperature on this planet three million
years ago. It’s a completely different

Georgia’s unemployment rate didn’t drop in March, but at least it didn’t
increase as it had for 20 straight
months.
The state’s seasonally adjusted jobless rate was 9.2 percent in March,
unchanged from a revised 9.2 percent
in February. The unchanged March
unemployment rate is “significant”
because this is the first time in 20
months the rate did not increase over
the previous month, labor commissioner Michael Thurmond said.
March jobless rates for Murray and
Whitfield counties, along with Metro
Dalton (both counties) will be released
later this month. In February, Metro
Dalton’s jobless rate was 12.9 percent,
up from 6.1 percent in February 2008

Former inmate
sues county
officials
A former inmate at the
Whitfield County Jail has
filed a $53 million civil suit in
federal court in Rome against
several court and law enforcement officials in Whitfield
County saying property taken
from him during a drug bust
violated his civil rights.
Johnny Brett Gregory, 35,
of 2680 Highway 301 S. in
Jesup, was arrested on July
19, 2005. He alleges that
property taken from him as a
result of the drug bust has not
been returned, and that some
of the property did not belong
to him although it was in his
possession. Gregory, who is
black, also alleges that another person who was arrested,
who is white, was treated
“significantly different” while
jailed and was released earlier.
The suit requests $60,000
in compensatory damages
and $53 million in punitive
damages. It names 11 defendants, including Sheriff Scott
Chitwood, District Attorney
Kermit
McManus
and
Superior Court Judge Robert
Adams.
“I don’t know if (the suit)
has been officially served (on
us),” said county attorney
Robert Smalley, who viewed
the document online. “We’ll
have 20 days to file an
answer in federal court, and
we will ask for a motion to
dismiss on the issue of seized
property.”
Smalley said appropriate
officials in the sheriff’s and
district attorney’s offices
were looking into the allegations and it appeared to them
proper procedures were followed.
“We’ll take every step to
make sure our officers are
protected appropriately,” he
said of the county’s legal
response.
A phone number for
Gregory could not be found.

Police to teach Self-Defense for Women
SUBMITTED BY DALTON
STATE COLLEGE
Dalton State College, in
conjunction with the Dalton
Police Department, offers
Self-Defense for Women at
the James E. Brown Center
beginning Tuesday, April 21.
The 12-hour course,
taught by Officer Brian Pack,
will educate women on safety strategies to minimize
their chances of becoming a
victim, and physical tactics
aimed at disabling an attacker long enough to escape.
Pack, certified in the
RAD System of self-defense,
will wear a padded “Red
Man” suit for some of the
exercises which allow the
women to practice defensive
maneuvers they have learned
in the class without the fear
of injuring the instructor.
Among other topics covered will be laws in Georgia
governing self-defense, ways
to stay safe while dating,
how to be safe in a parking
lot, pros and cons of different types of weapons, and
strategies for keeping the
home safe and minimizing
chances of becoming a target
of violence.
“Our 12 hours go by real
quick,” Pack says.
The program is for
women only — wives, mothers, daughters, sisters, girlfriends — and all who successfully complete the
course will have a lifetime
return policy allowing them
to participate in any RAD
System program to refresh
their skills at any time, he
said.
“Our ultimate goal is to
promote safety and build
confidence,” said Pack. “Our
hope is that no one will ever
have to use the skills they’ll
learn in this class, but we
want them to feel safe wherever they go.”
“We’re not teaching people how to fight, but to have
some skills they can use to
create enough of a diversion
to create distance and get
away if they ever find them-

VIEWS
Tax protesters
make a good case
The major media in this country don’t want to
have much to do with the growing tax protest
movement. Better to scoff at the participants.
Better to denigrate the ideas they espouse. Best of
all, better to just ignore them in hopes they’ll just
go away.
Maybe they will.
Then again, maybe not.
Americans who work, pay their bills (including
their taxes) and don’t look to the government to
bail them out for bad decisions they’ve made have
every reason to be alarmed at the direction the
country — spearheaded by its new president — is
taking.
They understand that the economic policies
being put in place by this administration will lead
to a massive expansion of government power. They
also understand that in areas where the government
wields that sort of power, the productive, freedomloving citizen inevitably suffers.
They don’t want the federal government telling
car companies what kinds of automobiles to build.
They don’t want the federal government deciding their health care options.
They don’t want the federal government telling
American bankers who to loan money to and how
much.
There is legitimate cause for alarm today.
The tax protesters who CNN and others were so
quick to deride on Wednesday recognize this and it
has motivated them to fight back.
Good for them.
Good for us.
Afraid of you?
What and who exactly are
President Obama’s homeland
security officials afraid of
these days? If you are a member of an active conservative
group that opposes abortion,
favors strict immigration
enforcement, lobbies to protect Second Amendment
rights, protests big government, advocates federalism or
represents veterans who
believe in any of the above, the
answer is: You.
Department of Homeland
Security Sec. Janet Napolitano
has turned her attention away
from acts of Islamic jihad on
American soil (which she now
refers to as “man-caused disasters”). Instead, her department is sounding the alarm
over an unquantified “resurgence” in “right-wing extremism activity.” On April 7, DHS
sent a nine-page warning
memo to law enforcement
offices across the country
titled “Right-wing Extremism:
Current
Economic
and
Political Climate Fueling
Resurgence in Radicalization
and Recruitment.”
The report includes a
sweeping definition of the
threat:
“Right-wing extremism in
the United States can be
broadly divided into those
groups, movements and
adherents that are primarily
hate-oriented (based on hatred
of particular religious, racial
or ethnic groups), and those
that are mainly antigovernment, rejecting federal authority in favor of state or local
authority, or rejecting government authority entirely. It may
include groups and individuals
that are dedicated to a single
issue, such as opposition to
abortion or immigration.”
You cannot ignore the context or the timing of this DHS
report. It’s no small coincidence that Napolitano’s
agency disseminated the
assessment just a week before
the nationwide April 15 Tax
Day Tea Party protests. The
grassroots events organized by
fiscal conservatives, independents, Libertarians and, yes,
even some Blue Dog
Democrats were fueled by the
“current
economic
and political
climate” of
bipartisan
profligate
spending
and endless
taxpayerfunded
Michelle b a i l o u t s .
The growMalkin
ing success
of
the
loose-knit
movement has invited scorn,
ridicule and fear-mongering
from Obama’s supporters.
Liberal bloggers have likened
the Tea Party movement to
neo-Nazis, militias and even
Weather Underground terrorists.
These attempts to demonize the Tea Party movement
come on the heels of widespread conservative-bashing
over the recent shooting sprees
in Pittsburgh and Binghamton,
N.Y. Taking Hillary Clinton’s
advice to “never waste a good
crisis,” left-wing pundits and
analysts have blamed the
tragedies on everyone from
Rush Limbaugh to Fox News
to the NRA.
The DHS spokespeople I
talked to on Monday insisted
that the report was not a politicized document and that DHS
had done similar assessments
on “left-wing extremism” in
the past. But past domestic terrorism reports have always
been very specific in identifying security threats.
By contrast, the Obama
DHS report is an overarching
indictment of conservatives.
“Right-wing extremist chatter
on the Internet continues to
focus on the economy, the perceived loss of U.S. jobs in the
manufacturing and construction sectors, and home foreclosures,” the assessment
warns. When I asked DHS
spokeswoman Sara Kuban to
explain who was responsible
for this “extremist chatter,” she
could not and would not name
names.
Moreover, the report relies
on the work of the left-leaning
Southern Poverty Law Center
to stir anxiety over “disgruntled military veterans” — a
citation that gives us insight
into how DHS will define
“hate-oriented” groups. The
SPLC has designated the
American Legion a “hate
group” for its stance on immigration enforcement. The
report offers zero data, but
states with an almost resentful
attitude toward protected free
speech: “Debates over appropriate immigration levels and
enforcement policy generally
fall within the realm of protected political speech under the
First Amendment, but in some
cases, anti-immigration or strident pro-enforcement fervor
has been directed against specific groups and has the potential to turn violent.”
“Potential to turn violent”?
So did the hysterical fervor
whipped up by Capitol Hill
over the AIG bonuses, which
prompted ugly death threats
from across the country. No
mention here, though. Not
“right wing” enough. Nor will
you see Obama DHS warnings to police and sheriff’s
departments about self-proclaimed bank terrorists such as
Bruce Marks of the aggressive
Neighborhood
Assistance
Corporation of America or the
mob activists of ACORN who
have committed burglary,
stormed corporate executives’
homes and vowed to conduct
“civil disobedience” by “any
means necessary” in response
to the “current economic and
political climate.”
If you can redefine dissenting opinion as “hate,” you can
brand your political opponents
as “extremists” — and you
can marginalize electoral
threats. “Antigovernment”?
“Pro-enforcement”?
“Disgruntled”? Feeling taxed
enough already and “recruiting” and “radicalizing” your
friends and neighbors through
“chatter on the Internet”?
We are all right-wing
extremists now. Welcome to
the club.

secede from the Union.
In 1941, Yugoslavia
surrendered to Germany
in World War II.
In 1964, Ford Motor
Co. unveiled its new
Mustang model at the
New York World’s Fair.
In 1970, the astronauts
of Apollo 13 splashed
down safely in the Pacific,
four days after a ruptured
oxygen tank crippled their
spacecraft.
In 1990, the Rev. Ralph
D. Abernathy, the civil
rights activist and top aide
to Rev. Martin Luther
King Jr., died in Atlanta at
age 64.
Ten years ago: Gen.
Wesley Clark, NATO’s
commander, bluntly told
Yugoslav
President
Slobodan Milosevic to
change his policies in
Kosovo or see his military
machine destroyed.
One year ago: Pope
Benedict XVI, during his
visit to Washington, talked
and prayed privately with
survivors of the clergy sex
abuse scandal in what’s
believed to be a first-ever
meeting between a pontiff
and abuse victims.

Thought for today: “A happiness that is sought for
ourselves alone can never be found; for a happiness
that is diminished by being shared is not big enough to
make us happy.”
Thomas Merton
American poet and author (1915-1968)
Kudos to Joe Mulholland, district
attorney for the South Georgia Circuit,
which includes Bainbridge, Camilla, and
Cairo. After reading my suggestion that
state government rather than schoolteachers take a furlough, the DA told me,
“Some of us in government have already
taken your argument to heart.”
Mullholland says district attorneys have
furloughed all employees a day a month
since last fall. In June, prosecutors will be
furloughed three days. To offset the
financial burden his own employees are
suffering, Mullholland has applied his
monthly county supplement to their pay.
While that won’t rectify the amount of
money they are already losing because of
the furloughs, the DA says, “I believe the
gesture has gone significantly to showing
our office that we are all in this together.”
That, my friends, is a class act. …
The world lost a beautiful lady recently. Ann Clendenin, wife of my former
boss, retired BellSouth CEO John
Clendenin, never wore her husband’s status on her sleeve. She was nice to everybody, no matter their rank. Corporate
spouses don’t always act that way, but she
did. Ann Clendenin will be missed. …
Nobody with a lick of sense runs for
statewide office in Georgia without paying homage to Tommy the Barber in
Northside Atlanta. For years, his shop has
been a traditional campaign stop for candidates. A good word from Tommy the
Barber reaches more people than
American Idol. But like most of us, he is
sick and tired of empty campaign promises about cutting taxes and improving
public
education.
Tommy
wants
specifics. He says he
is going to ask each
candidate who visits
to sign a pledge as to
how they are going to
live up to their campaign promises. If
their actions don’t
match their rhetoric,
Tommy vows he will
Dick
make sure that everyYarbrough body in the state
knows they reneged
on their promises. And
he can do it. If any candidates for
statewide office are reading this and plan
to drop by Tommy the Barber’s place,
don’t say I didn’t warn you. …
I will let him catch his breath after this
do-nothing legislative session before I
call Commissioner of Revenue Bart
Graham, as many of you have requested,
and find out (a) when we can have the
names of the legislators who haven’t paid
their taxes, (b) why businesses and individuals owe the state almost a half-billion
dollars in back taxes and (c) why somebody’s fanny isn’t already sitting in jail
the way we plebeians would be if we
decided not to pay our taxes. I’ll let you
know what I find out.
And speaking of some people being
more equal others: A lawsuit against
Georgia Board of Regents Chairman
Richard L. Tucker, a prominent Gwinnett
businessman, by United Community
Bank in Blairsville was resolved recently,
but Gwinnett Superior Court Judge
Ronnie K. Batchelor has sealed virtually
every document in the file at Tucker’s
request. According to Batchelor, details
of the settlement were sealed because
disclosure of the allegations would cause
Tucker “intimidation, insult and embarrassment.” Poor baby. And then there was
Paulding County Superior Court Judge
James Osborne, a former law partner of
House Speaker Glenn Richardson, who
sealed Richardson’s divorce papers in
“the interest of the parties and their children.” Who are these judges kidding?
People like Tucker and Richardson catch
breaks that you and I wouldn’t get
because we aren’t politically connected.
Lawyers love to blather about equal justice under the law. Let’s see them explain
these two contemptible decisions. …
Finally, if I am blushing, forgive me.
My beloved Grady College of Journalism
at the University of Georgia is unveiling
my portrait on April 27. It will hang in the
C. Richard Yarbrough Public Relations
Laboratory there. What makes this even
more special is that the portrait was painted by my art instructor, Kristopher
Meadows, who belies the adage, “Those
who can, do; those who can’t, teach.” Kris
Meadows does both extremely well. I just
wish he had made me look more like Brad
Pitt, but there are some things even skilled
artisans can’t do.

BRIEFS
Interrogators will
not be prosecuted
WASHINGTON —
Seeking to move beyond
what he calls a “a dark and
painful chapter in our history,” President Barack Obama
said Thursday that CIA officials who used harsh interrogation tactics during the
Bush administration will not
be prosecuted. The government also released four
memos long held secret by
the Bush administration in
which its lawyers approved
in extensive and often
graphic detail the tough
interrogation methods used
against 28 terror suspects,
the fullest and now complete
government accounting of
the techniques. The rough
tactics range from waterboarding — simulated
drowning — to using a plastic neck collar to slam
detainees into walls.
Obama pledges to
slow arms flow
MEXICO CITY—
Confronting a security threat
on America’s doorstep,
President Barack Obama
pledged Thursday in Mexico
to help a deeply troubled
neighbor in its battle against
drugs and violence, including action to slow the dangerous flow of weapons
from the United States. “At
a time when the Mexican
government has so courageously taken on the drug
cartels that have plagued
both sides of the border,”
Obama said, the U.S. must
join “in dealing with the
flow of guns and cash
south.” Obama spoke at the
start of a swift visit to
underscore U.S. solidarity.
Dems want Perry
to disavow talk
AUSTIN, Texas — A
group of Texas Democrats
says Republican Gov. Rick
Perry was reckless when he
suggested at an anti-tax rally
that fed-up Americans may
one day want to secede from
the United States. They said
Thursday that he should disavow such talk. Democratic
state Rep. Jim Dunnam of
Waco says talk of secession
is anti-American and that
some people associate it with
racial division and the Civil
War. Answering a question
from The Associated Press at
an anti-tax rally Wednesday,
Perry said he doesn’t think
Texas should secede. But he
said the federal government
was thumbing its nose at the
American people and added,
“who knows what might
come out of that.”
15 gunmen, 1
soldier killed
MEXICO CITY — A
shootout between Mexican
troops and a convoy of gunmen left 15 assailants and
one soldier dead hours
before President Barack
Obama arrived in the country to show his support for
the fight against drug cartels.
The shootout happened in a
remote, mountainous region
in Guerrero state, where the
Pacific coast resort of
Acapulco is located. Soldiers
came under fire from a convoy of gunmen on
Wednesday while patrolling
the drug trafficking hotbed.
One was killed and another
wounded in the battle near
the town of San Nicolas del
Oro. Troops later seized two
.50 caliber Barrett rifles, 17
other rifles, eight grenades,
two handguns, ammunition
and eight vehicles.
Seeping dam
fortified
KATHRYN, N.D. — A
convoy of trucks, excavators,
bulldozers and backhoes
moved in to fortify a seeping
dam Thursday in eastern
North Dakota as engineers
and National Guard troops
worked to save a tiny town
that would flood if the dam
fails. Water was flowing like
a miniature waterfall around
a corner of the earthen
Clausen Springs Dam, which
protects the town of Kathryn,
downhill and about six miles
east. The water was eating
through walls of the grasslined spillway built to handle
the extra water volume along
a tributary of the flooding
Sheyenne River.

FDA may approve female condom
NEW YORK (AP) —
Advocates of the female condom are promoting a less costly, more user-friendly version
that they hope will vastly
expand its role in the global
fight against AIDS and other
sexually transmitted diseases.
An early version of the
female condom was introduced in 1993, and it remains
the only available woman-initiated form of protection
against both STDs and unintended pregnancy.
Yet despite global promo-
tion by the United Nations and
other organizations, its usage
is still minuscule, even as
women bear an ever-growing
share of the AIDS epidemic.
Advocates
hope
the
dynamics will change following last month’s approval by
the
Food
and
Drug
Administration of the FC2, a
new version of the female condom produced by the Female
Health Co.
About 35 million female
condoms were distributed
worldwide last year, but that
compares to more than 10 billion male condoms, which are
far cheaper and, at least initially, easier to use. However, in
some nations with high HIV
rates, many men refuse to
wear condoms, putting
women at risk.
Though it looks similar to
its predecessor — a soft, transparent sheath with flexible
inner and outer rings — the
FC2 is made from synthetic
rubber
rather
than
polyurethane, making it
cheaper to produce.
he said. The county currently
lacks a ready site for those
types of businesses. Officials
are evaluating land for an
industrial park, he said.
“We’re working very hard
with companies to see if they
will locate here,” McLeod
said. “There’s a lot of activity going on in the area of
economic development.”
Patricia Rivers, co-president of the League of
Women Voters of the Dalton
Area, said the meeting gave
attendees a “world of information.”
Search: Continues
down the river (using the
trolling motor), and I went
looking for him. When I
couldn’t find him, I got real
worried.”
Williams said that to the
best of his recollection, it
was between a half-hour and
an hour when he went back
the second time. He said the
day Bo disappeared still
haunts him.
“I haven’t been able to
make it to work all week
because of it,” he said.
“Word’s getting back to me
that the family believes it’s
my fault, and I’ve felt that
way myself. I want to go
down there and help look for
him, but I won’t go because
they might say something
and they won’t let you get
close to where they’re
searching anyway.
“He and Ashley were
becoming part of our family.
His own daughter was asking
him not to go.”
Williams said Murray
County Sheriff Howard
Ensley came to talk to him
and he told him everything
he knew. He said Ensley
seemed to be satisfied with
what he told him.
On
Thursday,
new
“cadaver dogs” were brought
in to the search scene, and
more divers were in the
water. A search was begun
late Sunday and has been
continuing each day from 8
a.m. until dusk.
“It’s the same routine,”
said Ensley late Thursday
afternoon. “We’re still dragging the river, moving downstream, and now we’re within range of the area where
the boat was discovered. The
river keeps going down and
that’s helpful.”
Hackney got on the river

Bacteria found under ice
WASHINGTON (AP) —
Hidden in the bone-chilling
dark beneath an Antarctic
glacier, a colony of strange
bacteria is thriving.
Scientists investigating
the flow of blood-red water
from beneath the glacier discovered the bacteria, which
have survived for millions of
years, living on sulfur and
iron compounds, they report
in Friday’s edition of the
journal Science.
Blood Falls, flowing from
beneath Taylor Glacier, has
long
evoked
curiosity
because of its color. The
researchers determined that
iron compounds provide the
color, and in the process of
their research they discovered bacteria in the water, an
extremely salty pool.

People with disabilities stress need for aid
BY RACHEL BROWN
rachelbrown@daltoncitizen.c
om
Dean Green says he wishes there were a local YMCA
or something similar so his
son, who has multiple physical and mental disabilities,
would have somewhere to
go.
“I live in Murray County,
and in Murray County we
have nothing,” he said. “We
have gyms over there, but
they’re not adequate for people with disabilities.”
Green spoke at a public
forum at the Northwest
Georgia
Trade
and
Convention Center Thursday
evening to discuss issues
affecting people with disabilities. The 26-member
Georgia Governor’s Council
on
Developmental
Disabilities met in Dalton for
its quarterly meeting earlier
in the day. The council lobbies to influence public policy and helps push community initiatives to benefit people with disabilities. About
50 people, including council
members, attended the
forum.
Some of the issues people
with disabilities all over the
state face are finding adequate transportation, housing, supports so they can be
relatively independent, jobs
and influence over their own
circumstances.
Canton resident Kellie
Roberts said her 17-year-old
son, who has autism, wants
to work but is unable to drive
himself. Finding transportation will be difficult, she
said.
Mohammad Sadiq Mohibi, left of Afghanistan,
speaks during the morning portion of the Georgia
Governor’s Council on Developmental Disabilities
Thursday. At right is Tshongpen Wangdi of Bhutan.
Lance Stephens asks a question during the question and answer session
Thursday at the trade center.
Some attendees said they
want to help others.
LaFayette resident Floyd
Brown, who said he is “a little retarded,” works at a
branch of Lookout Mountain
Community Services helping
others do crafts. He said
there is a need to help others
learn to read.
“I can’t read very good. I
can read some,” Brown said.
“I see lots of kids in school
before they graduate (who)
need to learn how to read
better.”
Eric Jacobson, executive
director of the council, said
people will benefit from
relying less on Medicaid to
solve all their problems and
more on their communities.
For example, Medicaid
won’t fund a broken carburetor, but the

family get
it fixed so
they can
go to the Jacobson
doctor, he
said.
“It comes back to thinking about things differently
than I think we have in the
past,” he said.
Mike Babb, chairman of
the Whitfield County Board
of Commissioners, encour-
aged people to bring their
concerns or suggestions to
the commission.
“If you don’t speak, you
don’t get heard,” he said.
International questions
Earlier in the morning,
the council met with visitors
from
Bhutan
and
Afghanistan to discuss how
their countries handle individuals with disabilities.
In the South Asian country of Bhutan, there are only
three schools for such students, said Tshongpen
Wangdi, principal of the
National Institute for the
Disabled.
Wangdi’s school caters to
students who are visually
impaired. He said there are
no schools for students with
severe disabilities, but he
hopes that will change as
Bhutan converts to several
new ideas, including electing its own prime minister.
“We had a king last
year,” he said, citing examples of how the United
States and Bhutan differ.
“Out of nine brothers and
sisters, only me and my
youngest brother are educated...To change the system, it
may take time.”
In Sadiq Mohibi’s native
Afghanistan, Islamic religious leaders often aren’t
open to helping individuals
with disabilities, he said, but
several groups are trying to
change that.
“The idea is to involve
the society to be a part of
decision-making,” he said.
“People follow what their
clerics say very well, so
they accept what they say
better than they accept what
we say.”
Mohibi is a member of
the Afghanistan Independent
Human Rights Commission,
which advocates for people
with disabilities.
Governor’s council member Denny Spear said religious organizations in the
United States are still often
reluctant to make people
with disabilities a priority.
“The average religious
person is glad to work with
orphans who are going to
grow up or older people
who are going to die,” Spear
said. “Churches generally
don’t want a long-term
responsibility.”

“With apologies to Sir
Winston Churchill, the better-than-expected March jobless rate does not represent
the end of this recession,”
Thurmond said. “It is not
even the beginning of the
end. However, it may be the
end of the beginning of the
most severe economic downtown since the Great
Depression.”
The floorcovering industry in North Georgia has
shed several thousand jobs as
businesses have eliminated
positions and cut production
hours. Other industries have
also been affected by the
nationwide economic slowdown. This week, officials
with Pilgrim’s Pride said the
poultry processing plant in
Dalton will close within two
months, a loss of about 280
jobs.
The state’s jobless rate of
9.2 percent was up 3.6 percentage points from 5.6 per-
cent at this same time last
year. Georgia’s unemployment rate also remained
above the national rate of 8.5
percent for the 17th consecutive month. The number of
payroll jobs in March
decreased by 185,900, or 4.5
percent, from March 2008.
The over-the-year losses
came in manufacturing and
construction, trade, transportation and warehousing,
along with professional and
business services, including
temporary
employment
agencies.
Despite the year-overyear loss of jobs, Georgia
added 3,000 new jobs in
March, the first monthly
increase since October 2008.
A majority of the new jobs
were in the retail and hospitality sectors. During the first
two weeks of April, initial
jobless claims in Georgia,
which have sustained overthe-year triple-digit increases, grew at about half that
pace. Initial claims are generally considered to be a
leading indicator of future
economic activity.
Currently

are
442,758
unemployed
Georgians looking for work,
an increase of 64.1 percent
over the year. Of that number, 172,947, or 39.1 percent,

LONDON (AP) — Would
you pay 145 pounds ($215)
for a slice of very stale cake?
That’s what an antiques
fair in Birmingham hopes to
earn Thursday when people
bid for the remnant from one
of Britain’s most controversial royal weddings.
The cake is thought to be
the only surviving item from
the 1871 wedding of Queen
Victoria’s fourth daughter,
Princess Louise, to the
Marquis of Lorne.
It went on sale for 145
pounds ($215) Thursday at
the Antiques for Everyone
fair in Birmingham. The seller is antiques dealer John
Shepherd. He bought the slice
from a private seller who is a
descendant of a noble family
from Kent.
“I like unusual objects
with history,” said Shepherd.
“This was obviously treasured by the Royal Family,
and I believe things should be
treasured and looked after.”
The slice, which is oneinch thick and protected by
parchment, is a tiny portion of
the towering 5-foot cake
served at Princess Louise’s
wedding. The entire cake
originally weighed over 225
pounds and took three
months to create.
Small Steps
Add Up to Big Savings

this earth.”
But he said a solution may
lie in moving away from carbon-based fuels such as coal
and oil and towards renewable energies such as wind
and solar.
He also said that Internet
technologies now make it
possible to move from centralized production of energy
towards a “distributed” production of energy.
Rifkin said buildings
equipped with solar cells and
wind turbines and the like
could possibly not only generate as much energy as the
buildings need but more than
they need. That energy could
be sent to others over a
“smart grid.”
He said that just as millions of individuals now create their own videos and
music and other information
and distribute it over the
Internet, they could one day
also create their own energy
and distribute it.
The creation of those
solar cells, the smart grid and
other technologies would
create a third industrial revolution, he said.
It is important to act
quickly, he said, not only
because of the threat of global warming but also because
the world has been living off
the savings of the second
revolution, which created television and radio and automobiles, and because the
world’s supply of oil is
diminishing.
“We have to save the
human race and our fellow
creatures,” Rifkin said.
Some students said they
were alarmed at Rifkin’s talk
but also inspired to make a
difference.
“Everyone of us need to
do something to save our
planet,” said Berenice Ruiz.

Hamilton board members
receive trustee certification
SUBMITTED BY HAMILTON
HEALTH CARE SYSTEM
Why would the board of
directors for Hamilton
Health Care System and
Hamilton Medical Center, a
group of committed citizens from the area, spend
hours furthering their education?
They are demonstrating
their commitment of service to the organization by
becoming certified trustees
through a program developed by the Georgia
Hospital
Association
(GHA).
According to Hamilton
Health Care System president and CEO John
Bowling, “GHA designed
this program to provide
hospital board members
with the tools and information they need to govern
effectively. I am pleased
and proud to say that when
this program was offered,
each member of our board
was not only willing to
spend the time and energy
necessary to complete the
program; they were anxious
to participate to gain the
knowledge necessary to
govern in these difficult and
uncertain times.”
With current economic
problems
causing
an
increase in Georgia’s uninsured population, there is
an even greater need for
informed trustees to maintain a fiscally sound hospital in their community.
“Effectively governing a
complex health system
such as Hamilton requires a
broad knowledge base —
especially in these difficult
economic times. Our board
is committed to keeping
Hamilton strong so it can
continue to grow and meet
the health needs of this
community,” said G. Lamar
Lyle, health care system
board chairman.
The

of
Hamilton Health Care
System’s Board of Trustees
What board members
get from program
The GHA trustee certification program ensures
that board members:
■ Understand and
embrace the need for governance accountability;
■ Govern according to
a standard of excellence;
■ Are willing to formally certify their adherence to governance best
practices;
■ Are committed to
care management and
coordination of resources;
■ Embrace community
accountability and transparency;
■ Structure their cominclude Lyle, chairman;

John H. Poehlman, M.D.;
Dorothy B. Reich; Henry

and Carolyn K. Turner.
Why a certification
program?

munity benefit and outreach programs to meet
identified
community
needs;
■ Utilize data from the
GHA State of Health Data
Report to identify and
address areas of need especially for the uninsured
and underinsured;
■ Utilize performance
data to identify opportunities for improvement and
to monitor progress to
improve quality and safety;
and
■ Integrate local health
efforts with state programs.
Chandler believes that
boards must be accountable.
“Board membership is
not something to be taken
lightly. Board members
have to continue to learn
and educate themselves
especially in the areas of
the quality of care, patient
safety and patient satisfaction,” Chandler said.
Boards are ultimately
responsible for how the
organization performs in
these areas.
“The education requirements of the certification
program will provide hospital trustees a structure for
improving their individual
knowledge and leadership
to help them address the
health care needs of our
community,” Chandler said.
“Hamilton has a long history with the DaltonWhitfield community,” Lyle
said. “The organization has a
strong sense of accountability to the community; a commitment to providing the
best health care possible. It’s
the board’s job to provide the
guidance necessary to make
that happen.”

SUBMITTED BY DALTON
STATE COLLEGE
The
Center
for
Continuing Education at
Dalton State College is offering Private Pilot Ground
School, a 30-hour class that
prepares students for the
written examination required
for a private pilot’s license.
The class begins May 7 at
the James E. Brown Center
and runs Thursday evenings,
6 to 9 p.m., through July 9.
Instructors for the 10week class are Taylor
Newman, director of operations for the Dalton airport
and certified flight instructor,
and Mark Hudson. Topics to
be covered, according to
Newman, are air space, aerodynamics, “rules of the
road,” laws and regulations,
weather, cross country planning and aircraft performance, operations and planning.
“The material covered in
this class will provide the
knowledge base necessary
for the written examination
— one of three components
required to get the private
pilots license,” Newman
said. The three-hour written
test consists of 60 questions
and is administered in Rome
and Athens, Tenn.
The other two components required for the private
license are the oral and practical (in-plane) examinations
which are administered in
Chattanooga by an examiner
who previously taught aviation at Chattanooga State. A
minimum of 40 hours flight
training is required before
the practical exam is taken;
50-60 flight hours are preferred, Newman said. He and
Hudson can provide flight
instruction for those wishing
to continue on with their
training; flight training is not
included in the Dalton State
program.

Newman said. The minimum
age to get the license is 17,
which is also the age for
Private Pilot Ground School.
Newman and Hudson also
teach flight training at the
University of the South
(Sewanee) and in Cleveland,
Tenn.
Despite the sour economy, flight training has done
well, Newman said, suggesting that some may be choosing to invest dollars into a
lifelong dream rather than in
stocks and bonds. “For many
of our students, this is just
something they’ve always
wanted to do,” he said.

Nurses at Hamilton

honored with The Daisy
Award For Extraordinary
Nurses. The award is part of
the Daisy Foundation’s program to recognize the
extraordinary efforts nurses
perform everyday.
The not-for-profit Daisy
Foundation is based in Glen
Ellen, Calif., and was established by family members in
memory of J. Patrick Barnes.
Patrick died at the age of 33
in late 1999 from complications
of
Idiopathic

(ITP), a little known but not
uncommon autoimmune disease. The care Patrick and
his family received from
nurses while he was ill
inspired this unique means
of thanking nurses for making a profound difference in
the lives of their patients and
patient’s families.
“When Patrick was critically ill, our family experienced first-hand the remarkable skill and care nurses
provide acutely ill patients

and co-founder of The Daisy

Curry was surprised and
honored when chosen for
this award.
“I was only doing what is

Mystery donors give nearly
$45M to eight universities
DES MOINES, Iowa
(AP) — A mystery is unfolding in the world of college
fundraising: During the past
few weeks, at least eight universities have received gifts
totaling nearly $45 million,
and the schools had to promise not to try to find out the
giver’s identity.
One school went so far as
to check with the IRS and the
Department of Homeland
Security just to make sure a
$1.5 million gift didn’t come
from illegal sources.
“In my last 28 years in
fundraising ... this is the first
time I’ve dealt with a gift
that the institution didn’t
know who the donor is,” said
Phillip D. Adams, vice president for university advancement at Norfolk State
University, which received
$3.5 million.
The gifts ranged from $8
million at Purdue to $1.5
million donated to the
University of North Carolina
at Asheville. The University
of Iowa received $7 million;
the University of Southern
Mississippi, the University
of North Carolina at
Greensboro
and
the
University of Maryland
University College got $6
million each; the University
of Colorado at Colorado
Springs was given $5.5 million.
It’s not clear whether the
gifts came from an individual, an organization or a
group of people with similar
interests. In every case, the
donor or donors dealt with
the universities through
lawyers or other middlemen.
Some of the money came in
cashier’s checks, while other
schools received checks
from a law firm or another
representative.
All the schools had to
agree not to investigate the
identity of the giver. Some
were required to make such a
promise in writing.

Mrs. Betty G. Smith, 74,
of Tunnel Hill, departed this
Opera performance here Tuesday
SUBMITTED BY DALTON STATE
COLLEGE
Dalton State College’s Fine Arts and
Lecture Series (FALS) will sponsor an
operatic performance by Harry
Dunstan, tenor, and Kay Krekow,
soprano, on Tuesday at 7:30 p.m. in the
Goodroe Auditorium of Memorial Hall.
The concert is free and open to the public.
Dunstan and Krekow are performers
from The American Center for Puccini
Studies who will sing selections composed by Giacomo Puccini.
“We are delighted to have these talented artists with us for the last of our
FALS events this spring,” said Jane
Taylor, director of public relations for
Dalton State. “The American Center for
Puccini Studies was established in 2004
and has as its mission to present many
of Puccini’s lesser known pieces to
music lovers. The founder of the center,
Harry Dunstan, is considered one of the
world’s leading Puccini artists and
scholars, and we feel indeed fortunate
to have him on our stage.”
Accompanying the two vocalists
will be Michael Wittenburg. Several of
Dunstan
Krekow
the featured selections include “Ad una
morta,” “Storiella d’amore,” Sole e
amor,” “Inno a Diana,” and “Terra e
mare.”
From “La boheme,” composed in
1896, are “Non sono in vena,” “Che
gelida manina,” “Si, mi chiamano
Mimi,” and “O soave fanciulla.”
Other selections include “O mio
babbino caro,” “Nessun dorma,”
“Scossa Elettrica,” “Vissi d’arte,”
“Ch’ella mi creda,” and “Bimba, bimba
non piangere.”
Members of The American Center
for Puccini Studies have performed
extensively since their founding. Their
2007-08 season opened with Puccini’s
popular “La boheme” and ended with
the company’s orchestral debut with
the Piedmont Symphony Orchestra in
performances of “Le villi.”
Krekow, a soprano, has been a featured soloist with
symphonies, oratorio societies and
opera companies in
the United States
and Europe. She is
considered to be an
acclaimed
interpreter of the heroines of Puccini, and
Wittenburg
has sung Anna in
“Le villi,” Fidelia in
“Edgar,” Mimi and Musetta in “La
boheme,” and numerous other lead
roles.
In addition to being the founding
artistic director of The American
Center for Puccini Studies, Dunstan
has appeared with regional orchestras
and opera companies throughout the
United States and has appeared as a
featured soloist at such venues as the
Kennedy
Center,
Wolftrap,
Constitution Hall and the Smithsonian
Museum. He was the featured soloist in
a Papal mass celebrated by Pope John
Paul II.
Schools celebrate foreign languages
SUBMITTED BY DALTON PUBLIC
SCHOOLS
Dalton High School celebrated
Foreign Language Week in a variety of
ways recently.
In the United States, the week is celebrated in the first week of March each
year, with a theme selected by Alpha
Mu Gamma, the national collegiate foreign language society. This year’s
theme was “Many Hands, Many Voices,
One World.”
DHS students heard a guest speaker
from Barbados. Catherine Trotman, a
Rotary scholarship student studying at
North Georgia College, impressed upon
students how study abroad can change
their lives. Students learned about
Barbados as well as Trotman’s experiences in Georgia.
More than 600 students viewed foreign films created by students for the
foreign language film contest. This
year’s students were able to use equipment purchased with a grant for $2,500
from Jordan Fundamentals, giving all
students the opportunity to create a foreign film for the school’s fourth annual
film contest. The grant allows students
who are not able to study video production to also participate in the contest
within the foreign language classroom.
Students also learned about the private lives of their foreign language
teachers. Many students were surprised
to find their teachers had lived in a foreign country or had skills other than
speaking a foreign language.
A film festival awards ceremony was
held. The students’ choice award went
to “MTV Cribs.” Cast members included Sam Batts, Will Kiker, Blake Raber,
Henson Toland, Hannah Joyce, Keri
Shealy, Zac Coquerille, Gordon Gross,
Hailey Bryant and Watts Dantzler.
After the ceremony, Spanish teacher
Jack Cobbs spoke to students about
developing his passion for music while
growing up in Chile.
Students also participated in “Battle
of the Classes,” a foreign language trivia game put together by Spanish teacher
John Brittain.

Baby sitter charged in death of child
L AW R E N C E V I L L E ,
(AP) — A 29-year-old
baby sitter has been arrested for the death of a 2year-old girl left in his
care.
Gwinnett County Police
charged John Wyatt of
Lawrenceville with felony
murder Wednesday after
the child died. The toddler
had been in critical condition
at
Children’s
Healthcare of Atlanta at
Scottish Rite since her
mother found her bruised
and having difficulty
breathing Saturday.
The mother told authorities she had left her
daughter in Wyatt’s care
for the day.
Wyatt is being held at
the Gwinnett County jail
without bond.
The Gwinnett County
medical examiner ruled the
child’s death “unnatural”
but hasn’t yet determined a
cause.
The incident is under
investigation.

PREP BASEBALL: CASS VS. DALTON
Dalton does it again
Still perfect
in sub-region
BY MARTY KIRKLAND
martykirkland@daltoncitizen.com
MISTY WATSON/The Daily Citizen
Dalton’s Ricky Rodriguez, back,
battling Paulding County’s Nick
Lonergan on Wednesday, is a key
reason the Catamounts claimed
the Region 7-4A championship.
Catamounts
turn adversity
into true grit
C
ome on, admit it. You probably had your doubts about
Dalton High soccer somewhere along the way this season —
not necessarily about whether the
Catamounts would be good, because
that’s just about a foregone conclusion for that program at this point,
but whether they’d be good enough to
keep up with the standards they’d set
for themselves in the past.
Maybe you looked at the
Catamounts’ .500
record six games
into the season and
scratched your
head. None of the
losses were to bad
teams, none of
them were routs
and two were via
penalty kick
shootout. But no
matter the point in
Marty
the season, no matKirkland ter the level of
competition, it’s
strange see the Cats lose three of four
games.
And after that surprising start —
included among the trio of losses was
the program’s first-ever defeat at
Murray County’s hands — the Cats
still had three sub-region games to
play, a rare view from the passenger’s
seat as they looked toward the postseason and some questions to answer
about how quiet their offense had
been during that stretch when the
goals just weren’t coming.
Well, no matter what anyone else
thought, the Cats found enough confidence inside themselves to deal with
any doubts if they had them. The
Cats beat Paulding County 2-1 on
Wednesday for their 10th region title
in 12 seasons, a measure of league
dominance beyond that of any area
team in any sport in recent years.
It’s all very clear now. And maybe
it always was to those inside the
camp. But it’s hard to blame anyone
on the outside if they wondered if
this year was going to be different.
So don’t be afraid to admit your
doubts. I know I had them.
Dalton’s loss at Murray County
came on a miserably cold night in
early March when it may not have
been too cold to play soccer, but it
felt too cold to watch. Still, the Cats
and Indians put on a compelling
show in Chatsworth, though there
was little in the way of offensive fireworks for either side — each side
scored once during regulation, but
both were on penalty kicks — and a
shocking lack of creativity by Dalton.
If you’ve seen Dalton soccer,
you’ve seen the artistry. The Cats
thrive on controlling the ball and
using skilled footwork, quickness and
smart, short passes to set up their
shots. In the five years I’ve covered
Dalton soccer, it’s usually been effective. It’s generally been efficient. It’s
almost always been pretty.
That night it wasn’t. The Cats
looked frustrated. The shot creation
wasn’t there, so naturally neither
were the finishes.
And what was more surprising
than seeing Dalton lose to the Indians

Ross, Marlins finish

Atlanta starter Kenshin Kawakami, who allowed five hits
and five runs in six innings Thursday, couldn’t keep Florida
from winning its third straight game at Turner Field.
ATLANTA — Cody Ross and
his Florida Marlins teammates
aren’t shocked to have the best
record in the majors.
The real surprise, he said, was
sweeping three games in Atlanta
for the first time.
Ross hit a three-run homer and
the Marlins beat the Braves 6-2 on
Thursday, as Florida improved to 81 for the first time since 1997. Ross
finished with three hits and four
RBIs after beginning the day with a
.115 average.
“Nobody in here is surprised,”
Ross said of the Marlins’ hot start.
“We feel like we’re a good team.
There are a lot of skeptics who say
it’s early. We have to have confidence and never let down.”
The Marlins outscored the
Braves 21-7 in the series. Florida
had never swept a series of more
than two games in Atlanta, and the
last time that happened was May
13-14, 1997.
“We’ve come through here a lot
of times, and you’d think there
would have been a sweep,” Ross
said. “But the Braves are always a
good team. ... It’s better to be on the
other side, instead of what it has
been here in other years.”

Madden retires as NBC’s analyst
BY RACHEL COHEN
NEW YORK — John
Madden is retiring from football
announcing, where his enthusiastic, down-to-earth style made
him one of sports’ most popular
broadcasters for three decades.
The Hall of Fame coach spent
the last three seasons on NBC’s
“Sunday Night Football.” His
final telecast was the Super Bowl
in February.
“You know at some point you
have to do this — I got to that
point,” Madden said on his Bay
Area radio show Thursday. “The
thing that made it hard is not
because I’m second guessing, ‘is
it the right decision?’ But I
enjoyed it so damn much.
“I enjoyed the game and the
players and the coaches and the
film and the travel and everything.”
Cris
Collinsworth
will
replace Madden, moving over
from the network’s studio show,
NBC Sports chief Dick Ebersol
said. Collinsworth filled in when
Madden took a game off last
October.
Ebersol called Madden
“absolutely the best sports
broadcaster who ever lived.”
Madden said his health is fine,
but at the age of 73, he wanted to
spend more time with his family.
His 50th wedding anniversary is
this fall, and his five grandchildren are old enough to notice
when he’s gone.
“If you hated part of it or if
something was wrong, it’d be
easy,” Madden said.
Madden’s blue-collar style and
love for in-the-trenches football
endeared him to fans. His “Madden
NFL Football” is the top-selling
sports video game of all time.
Madden is reluctant to fly and
often traveled to games in a specially equipped bus.
Broadcast partner Al Michaels
said Madden will have a unique
place in pro football history.
“No one has made the sport
more interesting, more relevant
and more enjoyable to watch and
listen to than John,” Michaels said
in a statement. “There’s never
been anyone like him and he’s
been the gold standard for analysts for almost three decades.”
Madden began his pro football career as a linebacker coach
at Oakland in 1967 and was
named head coach two years
later, at 33 the youngest coach in
what was then the American
Football League.
Madden led the Raiders to
their first Super Bowl victory
and retired in 1979. He joined
CBS later that year.
He worked at CBS until 1994
when the network lost rights to
broadcast NFL games, leading
him to switch to Fox. He left Fox
in 2002 to become the lead analyst for ABC’s “Monday Night
Football” and joined NBC in
2006 when that network inaugurated a prime-time Sunday game.
Madden said that for the last
several years, he waited until two
months after the season to determine whether to continue, not
wanting to rush into a decision.
He surprised Ebersol when he
told him last week he was retiring.
Ebersol flew to California on
Wednesday morning and spent
11 hours with Madden, trying to
persuade him to change his mind.
Ebersol even offered to allow
Madden to call games only in
September and November and to
take October and December off.
“I knew right away there was
no way of talking him out of it,”
Ebersol said. “I knew in his voice
he really thought about this.”
Madden was inducted into the
Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2006.
“There is one thing football
fans have agreed on for decades:
they all love John Madden,”
NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said. “John was a Hall of
Fame coach before becoming
one of the most-celebrated personalities in sports.”

Braves: Two mistakes
Continued from page 1B
Dalton’s Phillip Schenck (5) steals third base against Cass on Thursday. When the ball got away
from Colonels third baseman Dalton Parham (12) in the second inning, Schenck scored.
Dalton: Cats’ big second inning key
over the minimum through the first
four innings — after giving up a
first-inning single to the second batter he faced, Tyler Stringfield,
Roberts didn’t allow another hit
until Dalton Parham led off the fifth
with a single to right.
“He can throw that curveball,”
Brotherton said. “And then his fastball just looks that much more
explosive.”
The win against Cass (12-7, 3-5
in sub-region) was the 10th consecutive victory for Dalton (13-4, 7-0),
and it was also the start of the Cats’
second time through the 7-4A north
sub-region schedule. They outscored opponents 62-12 on their
way to six wins the first time around
the circuit, and if Thursday was any
indication, they might just be getting started.
But the Cats are reflecting the
step-by-step philosophy stressed by
Brotherton, who after the game outlined a scenario in which Dalton —
despite a two-game lead on the rest
of the sub-region — could still miss
the state playoffs after two consecutive appearances in the Class 4A
event.
“We just go out there and play
and try to win every game,” said
Palmer, who now has six home runs
this season.
The senior catcher was The
Daily Citizen’s Player of the Year in
2008 after batting .524 with 43 hits,
only one of which was a home run.
The jolt of power he has added to
his swing was noticeable in his towering drives against Cass — one a
two-out shot to left field in the first,
the other a leadoff job to center in
the fourth.
“I just saw the ball pretty well
tonight, was pretty loose and calm
at the plate,” Palmer said. “I just got
good swings at them.”
Cass burned through three pitchers in the short outing, with starter
Dalton Weightman chased with one
out in the second, an inning in
which the Cats sent 11 batters to the
plate. Weightman’s replacement,
Chase Leonard — a right-hander
with a submarine motion — got the
Colonels out of the inning, but
faced just four batters and walked
two of them before exiting for
Taylor Bentley in the third.
In the second, Dalton used an
RBI double from Blake Raber, a
two-run single from Phillip
Schenck, Brown’s homer and an
RBI single from Palmer to light up
the scoreboard. Schenck scored
when he stole third and the throw
went into the Dalton dugout, while
Will Kiker — courtesy running for
Palmer — went home on a wild
pitch.
“When you kind of sense that a
guy’s struggling, you just try to
make him press as much as possible. You just refuse to get out and
keep the inning going,” said Brown,
who called his high but shallow
homer to right a “popup that just
happened to go out.”
After Palmer’s leadoff homer in
the fourth, Dalton scored its final
run when Kiker, who had walked
and stole second and third, came
home on Joey Davis’ groundout.
While the Cats are in far better
shape than anyone else in the subregion, Brotherton is aware of how
much baseball remains packed into
the next week, including a trip to
Sequoyah today and to Murray
County on Saturday. The Cats play
Woodland-Bartow on Monday,
Northwest Whitfield on Wednesday
and finish the regular season against
Rome.
Both sub-region champs are
guaranteed a Class 4A state berth
and will play for the Region 7-4A
title and a No. 1 seed at state. The
second- and third-place finishers in
each sub-region will compete for
the region’s other two state spots
via a crossover playoff series.
And Brotherton knows that top
three spot isn’t yet guaranteed for
the Cats.
“We’re going to keep this thing
on an even keel,” he said. “We’re
going to keep climbing and get better each day. That’s what we’re
going to preach to them.”

but I got good defense,” Sanchez
said.
Kawakami (1-1) allowed five
hits and five runs, four earned, in
six innings.
Braves manager Bobby Cox
said Kawakami was “as good as
he could possibly be” but made
two mistakes — the pitch too far
over the plate that Ross hit for a
home run and a hanging splitter
that Jeremy Hermida hit for a
run-scoring triple in the sixth.
Another mistake also hurt
Kawakami. The Braves blew a
chance at a double play when
Kelly Johnson dropped a throw
from shortstop Yunel Escobar at
second base in the second inning
for an error, leaving the Marlins
with runners on first and second.
Ross hit his three-run homer one
out later.
“It’s part of baseball,”
Kawakami said through an interpreter. “It’s my fault really for
giving up the home run right after
that error.”
Johnson said he lost the throw
from Escobar in the sun.
“I knew, obviously, it was
coming at me,” Johnson said. “I
put my glove where I thought it
was going. I just couldn’t tell
when it was going to get to me.”
The Braves were without two
of their top hitters. Chipper
Jones, normally the No. 3 hitter,
missed his second straight game
with a bruised left thumb and
cleanup hitter Brian McCann was
given his first break from the
starting lineup this season. He
reached on a fielder’s choice as a
pinch-hitter in the ninth.
Escobar left the game after
five innings with a strained
abdominal muscle. He was listed
as day to day.
Atlanta placed reliever Jorge
Campillo on the 15-day disabled
list with a sore shoulder after he
gave up two hits and one run in
the ninth.
Ross hit a fastball from
Kawakami about 20 rows deep
into the left-field seats in the second inning to drive in Jorge
Cantu and Dan Uggla for a 3-0
lead.
The deep shot ended Florida’s
four-game streak without a
homer and ended the power
drought for Ross to start the season.
“It’s good to get it out of the
way,” he said.
The Braves scored one run off
Sanchez in the third. Garret
Anderson, filling in for McCann
as the cleanup hitter, hit his first
of two doubles and scored on a
single by Jeff Francoeur.
Anderson added his second
double and again scored on a single by Francoeur in the fifth.
Uggla walked in the sixth and
scored on Hermida’s triple to
center. Ross drove in Hermida
with a sacrifice fly.
Pinch-hitter Ross Gload led
off the ninth with a triple off
Campillo, and Alfredo Amezaga
drove in Gload with a single.
Kirkland: Creation
of shots makes return
team that had pushed the Cats in
recent meetings, Murray County
went on to claim the subregion’s top seed for the 7-4A
tourney before being upset by
Paulding County in the opening
round — was seeing them lose
without a clear-cut sign the
artistry was at least in the works.
Quite simply, it didn’t look
like Dalton soccer.
The shot creation was there a
few nights later, but the goals still
weren’t, and the Cats lost to rival
Southeast for the second consecutive time by penalty kicks. With
Southeast’s move to Region 63A, it did nothing to Dalton’s
position in the sub-region, but
you have to wonder what it did to
the Cats’ collective psyche.
Some coaches might have
been tempted to go to one
extreme — yelling their heads
off at the failure to the point it
became white noise to the players — or another — comforting
their team to the point of crushing any smoldering intensity.
Matt Cheaves, who’s in his
15th season leading Dalton,
struck a balance. He kept a serious tone after both losses. He let
the Cats know what they did
right as well as what they did
wrong.
And, knowing from experience the productivity of pain, he
told them to turn and watch the
other teams celebrate.
“I just wanted them to be
aware of what it means to another
school to beat Dalton,” Cheaves
said. “And also for them to realize, it doesn’t matter how good
you play if you don’t score.”
It’s been an interesting year
for Dalton, which won its most
recent 7-4A title in a region
almost twice the size of the one
it had played in the previous two
seasons.
The Cats scored five goals at
Northwest Whitfield a few days
after that shootout loss at
Southeast to start a string of
eight straight matches without a
loss, picking up the offensive
pace and remembering how to
win.
But as recently as the first
round of the region tourney, a
game Dalton won 4-2 with the
benefit of two own goals by
Hiram, shot efficiency reared its
head as a possible concern.
Still, it’s fair to say the
artistry has returned, though
there are more painters at work
than in recent memory. Last
year’s team was stirred by the
vision and direction of senior
midfielder Luis Rivas, while the
two seasons before that recordsetting strikers Irvin Espinal and
Luis Salazar manned the brush.
But while they lack the easily
noticeable go-to star of past
teams, the Cats’ reliance on team
effort and the early season
adversity may have developed a
grit that will be as important as
their offensive finesse as they
begin the quest to win their firstround state playoff game and,
they hope, a state title when it’s
all over.
Dalton soccer fans should
have no doubts. For the Cats,
that would be a thing of beauty
— no matter how it’s done.

check that, slow down — Dwyane Wade if
they want to advance to the second round of
the playoffs for the first time since 1999,
which also was the last time they had homecourt advantage.
M-V-3 is the league’s leading scorer, a
guy who literally took a young Miami Heat
team on his back and lifted them back to the
playoffs after a 15-win season. He’s a guard
on a mission, still angry about those who
wondered if he’d seen his best days after two
injury plagued seasons.
Now, he’s ready to take his well-controlled wrath out on the Hawks in what
appears to be the most intriguing Eastern
Conference series of the opening round.
Game 1 is Sunday night in Atlanta.
“Oh, man, I don’t think anybody shuts
him down. He’s proven that this year,”
Hawks forward Marvin Williams said. “But
we have some athletic guys who can really
help out. Whoever has the assignment of
guarding him is going to have a tough assignment, but they’ll know the rest of the team
has their back.”
Atlanta did a good job on Wade in two
regular-season games. He hit only 9-of-24
shots in a December matchup, then was limited to a pair of free throws — one of his
most effective weapons — in a February loss
to the Hawks. He scored 21 points in each,
nine below his league-best average of 30.2.
But Wade torched Atlanta for 35 points on
13-of-19 shooting (plus 9-of-10 foul shots) in
Miami’s lone victory over the Hawks this
season (He sat out the teams’ final regularseason meeting Tuesday, a meaningless game
with both teams already locked into the 4-5
seeds in the East).
“He’s just relentless in getting to the basket,” said Joe Johnson, the Hawks’ leading
scorer. “He shoots a lot of free throws. It’s
tough. Everybody, all five guys, have really
got to be in sync trying to stop him.”
Woodson shrugged off the inevitable
questions about shutting down Wade, stressing that Miami is not a one-man team.
Four other players averaged in double fig-
ures, led by rookie Michael Beasley at 13.9,
and several Atlanta players mentioned 3point specialist Daequan Cook, who scored
nearly two-thirds of his field goals from
beyond the arc.
“It’s not our job to sit here and just try to
figure out how to stop Dwyane Wade,”
Woodson said. “I don’t think you can do that.
Their supporting case was good enough to
get them into the fifth spot this year. I look at
the Miami Heat as the Miami Heat, as a team,
and we’ve got to figure that out.”
In three games that mattered during the
regular season, Atlanta held the Heat to just
under 84 points a game, far below its 98.1
average.
Again, Woodson doesn’t much stock in
what happened before the playoffs.
“During the season, we played them
well,” he said. “But this is playoff basketball.
Only time will tell when we step out on the
floor Sunday and see where we are.”
The Hawks are certainly more balanced
than Miami. Johnson is the go-to scorer,
leading the way at 21.4 points, but six others
averaged between 15.6 and 11.5. At the
defensive end, they have a bunch of athletic
wing players who can step out to help on
Wade, from 6-foot-5 Maurice Evans to 6-9
forwards Williams and Josh Smith.
All will be needed against D-Wade, even
if Johnson draws the primary assignment.
“We’ve definitely got to have a good team
effort,” Smith said. “One man is not going to
stop him. You need second and third defenders trying to slow him down a little. When he
gets doing, everybody else is going to get
going on that team. You understand that he’s
going to score points, but if we can neutralize
him a little bit I think we’ll do really good.”
Johnson is looking forward to his head-tohead showdown with Wade. For all his
accomplishments, including three All-Star
appearances and a spot on the U.S. national
team at the 2006 world championships, the
Hawks’ soft-spoken star is still viewed as
being a significant notch below players such
as Wade, LeBron James and Kobe Bryant.
Last season, Johnson stepped up big in
several playoff games when the Hawks surprisingly extended eventual champion
Boston to seven games in the opening round.
He’s itching for the chance to lead his team to
a series win, knowing that would give a
major boost to his reputation.
“You get that type of respect for how you
perform during the postseason,” Johnson
said. “During the regular season, you get
your name out there, you get known. But the
postseason is where legends are made.”

that when you step foot on
this campus. I respect what
she has meant to this university, to this program. I can’t
be her. I wish I could. She’s
been tremendous. I have to
be me. And that’s, in my
opinion, the best way that I
can honor her.”
Harper has spent the past
five seasons at Western
Carolina, compiling a 97-65
record while leading the
Catamounts to two NCAA
tournament bids and a pair
of Southern Conference
championships. Harper also
played under Pat Summitt
as part of Tennessee’s three
straight national championship teams from 1996-98.
She will have a five-year
contract with a base salary
of $247,000 at N.C. State.
The coaching search has
been a sensitive issue for
many surrounding the program that Yow led for more
than three decades. Yow had
hoped that the school would
designate longtime assistant
Stephanie Glance as her successor, but athletics director
Lee Fowler said the school
had to conduct a thorough
search for a replacement.
Ultimately, that process
ended with the 31-year-old
Harper, a decision that signals an apparent fresh start
for a program that had slid
in recent years while nearby
rivals North Carolina and
Duke became fixtures
among the nation’s elite.
Glance, who had not
returned calls for comment
recently, issued a statement
Thursday thanking the
school and fans for support.
“I am saddened today
that I will not have the
opportunity to be the next
head coach for the women’s
basketball program,” she
said. “I am most grateful for
the lessons learned from the
legendary Coach Kay Yow!”

Stabler will leave
Tide radio booth
TUSCALOOSA, Ala.
— Ken Stabler won’t
return as the football
color analyst for Alabama
radio broadcasts.
The former Crimson
Tide and NFL quarterback had been on leave
from his duties since his
arrest on a drunken-driving charge last June. He
was found not guilty by a
judge in Robertsdale.
Crimson Tide Sports
Network General
Manager Jim Carabin and
Alabama athletic director
Mal Moore announced
the decision on Thursday.
Moore said Stabler had
decided to pursue other
opportunities.

1967 and worked as the
color analyst from 19982007.
QB Batch returns
as Steelers backup
PITTSBURGH —
Backup quarterback
Charlie Batch returned to
the Pittsburgh Steelers by
signing an $895,000, oneyear contract that
includes a $50,000 signing bonus.
The move Thursday
was expected because
Batch has been working
out with the Steelers
since missing last season
with a broken right collarbone. Byron Leftwich
replaced Batch as Ben
Roethlisberger’s backup,
but he signed a $7.5 million, two-year deal with
Tampa Bay.
Batch has been the
Steelers’ primary backup
since signing with the
Steelers in 2002. He has
played in 22 games since
then, starting four times.

Center. Her serve of 123.1
mph at the Australian Open
is the second-fastest on the
women’s tour this year.
“I’m confident with my
serve,”
Lisicki
said.
“Sometimes I’m struggling,
but you know, in the important points I could really
count on my serve, which
was very good.”
At the end of the match,
Lisicki buried her face in
her towel and was asked
later whether she was
laughing, crying or simply
wiping her face.
“Everything together. It
was just pure emotions,” she
said, calling it one of the
biggest wins of her career.

Williams almost 2 1/2
hours to eliminate Sania
Mirza, ranked No. 100.

HILTON HEAD ISLAND, S.C. — Alex
Cejka wants to stay healthy this season.
Playing his best golf wouldn’t hurt, either.
Cejka, who missed more than three
months last year because of neck surgery,
shot his best round in nearly two years, a 7-under 64,
GOLF
to take a one-stroke lead at
the Verizon Heritage on
TOUR
Thursday.
His bogey-free performance was capped by a 47-foot putt for birdie
on the difficult, wind-swept 17th hole. That
left Cejka with his first first-round lead since
2006, a shot ahead of two-time U.S. Open
champion Lee Janzen and two in front of last
year’s Masters winner, Trevor Immelman.
“Just hopefully, everything stays well and
I get healthy and practice hard,” he said.
Cejka felt pain at the British Open last
summer. Over the next month, he lost most of
his strength on his left side. The diagnosis
was a pinched nerve that required surgery
last September to fuse vertebrae in his neck.
He only played sparingly until this season
and his early results were not great, missing
the cut three times in his first seven events.
Things perked up in March with a pair of
13th-place finishes at The Honda Classic and
the Puerto Rico Open. The recovery took its
biggest step yet at Harbour Town Golf Links.
CHARLESTON, S.C.
— Second-seeded Venus
Williams was upset in the
third round of the Family
Circle Cup on Thursday,
falling to 63rd-ranked
Sabine Lisicki 6-4, 7-6 (5)
in a startling early exit that
took even Williams by surprise.
“I wasn’t expecting that
and, you know, I’ll try to
come back next year and
win,” she said. “I made a
few errors at the wrong
time and she played some
great shots.”
It was the first time
Williams had faced Lisicki,
the German with the big
serve seeded 16th this
week. Lisicki consistently
sent serves of over 110 mph
toward Williams on the
green clay of stadium court
He says he’s about 85 percent healthy, but
was pleased to manage Harbour Town’s tiny,
quick greens and narrow, tree-lined fairways.
“You’ve got to be a little bit lucky on the
small greens and stuff to hit them all,” Cejka
said. “But I hit good shots today.”
Cejka’s round took off on the back nine
with four birdies on his last seven holes. He
made a 37-footer for birdie on No. 12, then
punched from under a tree to 15 feet on the
13th hole for another birdie. Another 15-foot
birdie putt came on the par-5 15th before
Cejka’s shot two holes later.
He was thinking lag up for a par. “Then I
hit a good putt a little bit firm and just hit the
hole right in the middle,” Cejka said with a
smile.
Janzen, who won the U.S. Open in 1993
and 1998, posted his lowest opening round of
the season. He had a chip for birdie on his
final hole, the ninth, that stopped a foot short
of the cup.
“It looked like it was going in the hole, but
never got there,” he said.
Many of the top players passed on
Harbour Town, including Immelman’s successor as Masters champion, Angel Cabrera.
Only six of the world’s top 20 took part.
Boo Weekley’s only two PGA Tour wins
have been at Harbour Town the past two
years and he dusted off the form he showed
in 2007 and 2008 and shot an opening 69.

Making
C
huck Buchanan’s days as
a racetrack chaser began
the night he decided he
didn’t want to be a “Rainbow
Warrior.”
The defining moment came at
a dinner in the early 1990s at a
Sandwich Construction Co.
eatery near Charlotte, N.C.
Ray Evernham was the host
for an informal meeting with
several potential crew members
for the race team he was building for his then-rookie driver,
Jeff Gordon. Buchanan was in
the group, having heard about
the meeting through connections he’d made as a part-time
pit-crew member for various
NASCAR teams.
At the meeting, Evernham
laid out his expectations, which
were revolutionary at the time.
There would be early morning
workout sessions followed by
daytime duties at the shop and
numerous pit-stop practices
during the week.
Buchanan took it all in, but
on the ride back to his home in
Fletcher, N.C., he decided that
Evernham’s plans weren’t for
him.
“My daughter was growing
up pretty fast, and I was already
at a point where as soon as I got
home from one race, I was already dreading having to leave
the next weekend,” he said. So
he never pursued a full-time
racing gig. “I didn’t call them
and they didn’t call me,” he
said.
Having worked for several
NASCAR teams and drivers, including David and Larry
Pearson, Derrike Cope and the
Elliott gang from Dawsonville,
Ga., as well as road racers like
Gene Felton and short-track
racers like Larry Raines, he’d
been to numerous racetracks already.
With his curiosity piqued, he
started adding them up. He
started with the first race he’d
ever attended, a NASCAR
Grand National (now Sprint
Cup) race in 1967 at the old
Asheville-Weaverville
Speedway. He was eight years
old.
“I went with my dad,” he

Contributed photos
said. “The only things I remember about that race were that
Wendell Scott was in it and they
were selling little plastic helmets and checkered flags.”
But he has no souvenirs from
that day. “My dad said they
were too expensive,” he said.
Compiling the list led to a desire to run the total to 100.
He wanted that milestone to
be memorable, so he chose the
inaugural Sprint Cup race at
Las Vegas Motor Speedway in
1998, a race won by Mark
Martin.
“The next thing I knew, it was
200,” he said. That marker was
reached at a NASCAR Busch
North race on the road course
at Lime Rock, Conn.
The latest addition to the list,
No. 231, is All American
Speedway in Roseville, Calif., a
track he visited last year.
Buchanan, who now works as
a machinist making gears for
tractor-trailer trucks, has done
his traveling on the cheap, staying with friends, planning race-

Tracks, drivers of yore
Some of his favorite stops are
tracks that no longer host Cup
races.
Tops among the 231 tracks
he’s visited is Atlanta Motor
Speedway — the old configuration that was bulldozed in 1997
to make the current quad-oval.
And he puts Rockingham
Speedway, previously known as
North Carolina
Motor
Speedway, high
on the list.
For short
tracks, TriCity Raceway
in Washington
state is a favorite. “I really

that place,” he said. And for dirt
racing, he said it’s hard to beat
Rome Speedway in Georgia and
Ventura (Calif.) Speedway.
“They’re very racy,” he said.
Over the years, he’s witnessed triumph and tragedy.
The best race he’s ever
watched is a memorable one for
many — the 1976 Daytona 500,
where Richard Petty and David
Pearson crashed while racing to
the checkered flag.
“That’s a memory I’ll have as
long as I live,” he said.
Another that stands out is a
night at Hickory Motor
Speedway in North Carolina
when Bobby Allison flew in
from the Cup races at Talladega
to run both the Modified and
Late Model Sportsman feature.
“He didn’t win either one of
them, but he made an impression on me,” he said.
The driver that impressed
him the most over the years
was Butch Lindley, the late
short-track ace who made several strong starts in the series
now known as Sprint Cup. And
he marveled at the talents of
Jody Ridley, the Georgia shorttrack star who gave journeyman NASCAR car owner Junie
Donlavey his only Cup victory,
at Dover in 1981.
Few regrets
Buchanan said there have
been few downsides to his
odyssey, other than lamenting
about the tracks he never got to
see.
“My biggest regret is that I
never got to see a race at
Riverside International
Raceway,” he said of the historic California road course
that closed after the 1988
season.
So as he moves forward,
and road weariness and financial pressures begin to
limit his travels, he’s modified his focus.
“I’m concentrating on tracks
that may not
be around
in a year
or two,”
he said.
CHUCK BUCHANAN
No more roar
from No. 8?
The handwriting had been on the wall for
the once-mighty No. 8 Chevrolet for some
time. As far back as the preseason interviews at Daytona, it was pretty clear that no
primary sponsorship was materializing for
the car once driven by Dale Earnhardt Jr.
and now piloted by Aric
Almirola.
Now, according to published reports, the No. 8 car
is officially idle, effective
this week.
That leaves Earnhardt
Ganassi Racing with two
teams — Juan Pablo
Montoya’s No. 42 and
ALMIROLA
Martin Truex Jr.’s No. 1.
Last season, before Teresa Earnhardt and
Chip Ganassi merged their operations, the
two companies started the year with seven
cars — four at DEI and three at Ganassi.
Most blame the faltering economy for the
lack of backing needed to field the cars on
NASCAR’s top circuit.
Almirola said as much in February.
“I don’t think many people would have
ever expected the things that have happened over this off-season in a million
years, and they’ve happened,” he said. “It’s
been brutal, to say the least. There’s no new
money coming into the sport, and the same
sponsors have been floating around and
going from team to team, everybody knows
who they are.”
He said the more successful teams are
gobbling up what money there is.
“The sponsors are not stupid; they know
how bad the economic times are, and they
know that they’re going to be able to buy
more for their dollar right now,” he said.
“So they’re shopping around. Everybody is
talking to the same people and trying to get
the most out of the sponsors that they can
because to be able to run a competitive race
team, it takes a lot of money.”
The latest turn of events makes many in
the sport wonder what would have happened to the 8 car and DEI if Teresa
Earnhardt had given Earnhardt Jr. a controlling stake in the team, as he requested
before leaving for Hendrick Motorsports.
They point to Gene Haas’ decision to give
Tony Stewart half his team, which had
been languishing near the bottom of the
points chart.
After just seven races, the team has become a legitimate championship contender.

W
hen it comes to evaluating
athletes, no matter what
sport, statistics are usually
the best indicator of ability.
In racing, a driver’s DNFs (Did Not
Finish) can be instructive. As Sprint
Cup driver Jamie McMurray says, “A
lot of DNFs don’t add up to much.”
If he and others who subscribe to
that school of thought are correct,
Regan Smith ought to be a pretty
good race driver. Throughout his entire Sprint Cup career, 44 races in all,
he’s never had a DNF. No matter
what, he’s been running at the finish.
“There have been a bunch of almost misses,” Smith said. “I’ve been
in wrecks on the last lap at Talladega
and limped back to the pits.
“At Dover, a piece of debris went
through the radiator, but I caught it
quick, and we were able to change it
and finish the race.”
He’s fortunate to have never suffered a blown engine, but most me-
chanics will attest that the driver has
a lot to do with engine durability.
Smith agrees.
“I know guys that have blown up
three motors in 10 laps of practice on
a road course,” he said. “Some are really aggressive in practice. I try to
conserve in practice and take care of
my stuff until the race.”
Smith also distinguished himself
in last year’s Raybestos Rookie of
the Year contest. The rookie class
was loaded with a group of openwheel racers with strong credentials — Jacques Villeneuve, Dario
Franchitti, Sam Hornish Jr. and
Patrick Carpentier.
But by the end of the season finale at Homestead-Miami
Speedway, it was Smith surpassing them all to take
the title.
Smith perhaps is

ered flag in the fall race at Talladega,
only to be stripped of the win for
driving below the yellow line, even
though a good argument could be
made that eventual winner Tony
Stewart forced him there.
One of the great ironies this season is that the guy with no DNFs also
has a problem with DNSs (Did Not
Start).
Despite his résumé,
Smith has no full-time
ride this year. Instead,
he’s running a limited
schedule with
Furniture Row
Racing. Rather than
sulking about his apparent lack of reward
for his past results, he’s
approaching the season
with a positive attitude, proud to be
racing with a team
that’s serious
about its future.
“Sure, the
starts could
have been highNASCAR
er, but I’m happy with Furniture
Row,” Smith said. “I’m committed to
them full time and they’re committed to me. We’re going to run as good
as we possibly can.
“I have lots of goals left, and I
think I’m a good enough race driver
to compete with the best of them.”
To be the best that he can be, he’s
doing what he can to stay mentally
and physically fit on his off-weeks so
he’ll be at his best when he is racing.
He’s only scheduled to run 10 more
times, including this week at
Phoenix International Raceway.
He’s studying the races he misses
to compile his own set of notes for
the future.
He watches the broadcasts on TV
and uses NASCAR.com’s TrackPass
to listen in on driver-to-crew radio
traffic.
“I make notes on what drivers and
crews are saying and what the
changes they make seem to do to the
cars and how the racetrack changes
throughout the race,” he said. “It
kills me to be home watching, but I
have to suck it up and make the most
of the situation.”

problem.
There is no
way to guarantee
the
slam,
but
there is one
approach
that gives
you the best
chance for the contract. Three different lines of play stand
out, and they all start the same way. You win the club lead
with the ace, draw trumps, cash the king of clubs and ruff a
club.
Line No. 1: You take a heart finesse. If the queen loses
to the king and a heart is returned, you next lead a diamond
to the ace and a diamond back, finessing the jack.
This approach wins if North has either the king of hearts
or the queen of diamonds. It offers about a 75 percent
chance of success.
Line No. 2: You cash the A-K of diamonds. Assuming
the queen does not fall, you then continue with the jack of
diamonds.
If South has the queen, school is out because he must
return a heart or yield a ruff-and-discard. But if North has
the queen of diamonds, he wins and returns a heart. You
take the finesse, and the outcome depends on who has the
heart king.
This line of play succeeds if either opponent has the singleton or doubleton queen of diamonds, if South has the
queen of diamonds, or if North has the king of hearts. The
overall chance is about 78 percent.
Line No. 3: You play the ace of hearts followed by the
queen. If South has the king, it’s all over, because he must
lead a diamond or yield a ruff-and-discard.
If North has the king of hearts, he is forced to return a
diamond. If he has either the queen or ten, you make the
contract. Thus, if North has 10-x-x and leads a low diamond, you follow low from dummy, trapping South’s
queen. If North returns the ten instead, you cover with
dummy’s jack to make the contract.
If North has the queen of diamonds, the outcome is the
same. You follow low from dummy on his low diamond
lead, take South’s ten with the ace and then finesse the jack.
This method of play succeeds if South has the king of
hearts, or if North has either the ten or queen of diamonds,
or both. It offers about an 87 percent chance of success,
failing only when North has the heart king and South the
queen and ten of diamonds.

ony selected the 93 winners, who ranged from ages
15 to 55 and included a surgeon-violinist and a professional poker player-cellist.
“We’re meeting a lot of
different worlds,” conductor Michael Tilson Thomas
told the audience before the
first downbeat, “the real
time world, the online
world and the experience of
getting acquainted. For us
it’s
been
something
between a classical music
summit conference (and)
scout jamboree combined
with speed dating.”
Only last month, the
prestigious British magazine Gramophone placed
the group among the 10
most inspiring orchestras,
praising it “for democratising classical music on a
global scale, making it truly
all-inclusive.”
The musicians, who
come from more than 30
countries, arrived in New
York on Sunday. During
rehearsals, they were
coached by leading orchestral musicians.
The Internet generation
of performers attracted a
youthful crowd that had no
reason to feel shy. The staid
decorum was suspended for
the three-hour concert,
which featured 15 short

DEAR DR. DONOHUE: I have had psoriasis
for 10 years. I am 42. My
skin stays pretty well controlled, but I have developed
stiffness and pain in my
back. I thought it was just an
ordinary backache. I mentioned it to my dermatologist, and he sent me to a
rheumatologist. She says
it’s from my psoriasis. How
so? I have never heard of
that. — R.S.
ANSWER: Everyone is
familiar with the skin disorder psoriasis. Few know
about psoriatic arthritis,
arthritis associated with this
skin problem. The psoriasisassociated arthritis affects
from 5 percent to 30 percent
of those with skin psoriasis.
Let me make two points
right off. First, people with
psoriasis can have other
kinds of arthritis, like
osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. Second, the
severity of skin psoriasis
doesn’t affect the severity of
psoriatic arthritis. In other
words, minor skin psoriasis
can generate major joint
arthritis.
Any joint can be the target of psoriatic arthritis. The
back is often targeted, as are
the fingers, which swell and
look like sausages. For a
few people, psoriatic arthritis is quite disabling.
Nail involvement is common with joint involvement.
The nails have pits that look
like they’ve been made by a
needle. The nails also often
separate from their underlying skin.
NSAIDs — nonsteroidal
anti-inflammatory drugs —
are used for mild psoriatic
arthritis. Naproxen, ibuprofen and indomethacin are
such drugs. Methotrexate
controls more-severe arthritis. A raft of newer drugs
has made an appearance.
Enbrel is
o n e
example.

ASK THE DOCTOR
DEAR DR. DONOHUE: I had a bad case of
bronchitis, and my doctor
put me on Levaquin. My
cough stopped. After I finished the medicine, my right
heel cord started to hurt. I
saw another doctor, who
says it came from the
Levaquin, and he said my
tendon might tear apart.
Why is such a drug
approved for use? —L.F.
Dr. Donohue regrets that he is
unable to answer individual
letters, but he will incorporate
them in his column whenever
possible. Readers may write
him or request an order form
of available health newsletters at P.O. Box 536475,
Orlando, FL 32853-6475.
ANSWER:
Levaquin
belongs to the quinolone
drug family of antibiotics.
Cipro, Noroxin, Floxin,
Avelox and Maxaquin are
other members. They’re very
useful medicines. All medicines have side effects. The
quinolones can cause tendon
inflammation in a few people, and the Achilles tendon,
the heel cord, is the tendon
most often affected. The
inflammation can occur during use or after the medicine
has been stopped. In an
extremely small number of
people, the tendon ruptures.
I don’t mean to brush off
this side effect as nothing. It
happens only to a very small
number. Such a side effect
has to be tolerated in order
to obtain the drug’s benefit
— cure of an illness.
cal twins identical, or do
they have their own DNA?
— P.H.
ANSWER: Identical
twins have the same genes
as each other and, therefore, the same DNA.
Identical twins occur when
a single fertilized egg
splits into two embryos.
The fact that these
twins have the same DNA
makes them most useful
when it comes to studying
genetic (inherited) illnesses.

Panthers want DE back
Bound for Reinhardt
“We’ve known Julius for seven years, and
it has been a good seven years,” Hurney said.
“I think he knows how we feel, and we feel
like he’s been happy here. And again, nothing has changed.
“We franchised him, and when we did we
knew there was a period for the process to
take place”
Under the non-exclusive franchise tag,
another team could sign Peppers only by
giving Carolina two first-round draft picks.
The Panthers could trade him for less than
that, but because he has not signed his tender, only agent Carl Carey can negotiate
with other teams.
Peppers, who had a career-high 14 1/2
sacks last season, is causing the Panthers
other offseason headaches, too. Even
though he hasn’t signed the contract, the
$16.7 million counts against Carolina’s
salary cap.
CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Carolina
Panthers general manager Marty Hurney
remains confident defensive end Julius
Peppers will return to the team next season,
even as he’s made public
his wishes to play elsePRO
where.
In a pre-draft interFOOTBALL
view with reporters
Thursday, Hurney said
there were no new developments in the
stalemate with their four-time Pro Bowl
pick. The Panthers placed the franchise tag
on Peppers. He has not signed the one-year
tender for $16.7 million, however, and has
said he won’t sign a long-term deal with
Carolina.
If a trade is not worked out, Hurney said
he doesn’t believe Peppers would hold out
of training camp.

Armstrong in Italian race
MILAN — Lance Armstrong has told
organizers that he will race in the Giro
d’Italia.
The announcement posted on the Gazzetta
dello Sport’s Web site on
Thursday removed doubts
PRO
that the seven-time Tour de
CYCLING
France champion would
miss the race after having
surgery on a broken right
collarbone last month.
The Gazzetta said the American contacted
organizers Thursday from Colorado, where is
currently training. The Giro runs May 9-31.
“The recovery has been going well and the
plan is to be there,” Armstrong’s spokesman
Mark Higgins wrote in an e-mail to The
Associated Press.
It will mark the first time Armstrong races
in the Italian classic, considered cycling’s
second most important race after the Tour.
Armstrong returned to racing at the start
of this year after three and a half years of
retirement.
He fell during the Vuelta of Castilla and
Leon in Spain on March 23 and had surgery
two days later. A stainless steel plate and 12
screws were inserted into to stabilize the broken collarbone.
Armstrong is also planning to enter the
Tour in July, although he has said he is worried French doping officials may ban him for
allegedly violating protocols during a recent
drug test.
The Giro was originally scheduled to pass
through France briefly during the 10th stage,
but organizers changed the route last week,
citing problems with the high mountain roads
and bad radio reception.
Celebrating the race’s 100th anniversary,
Giro organizers have prepared a special route
this year passing through most of Italy’s
major cities.

Q&A
Sensible haircut a
must for pets
Q: Our spaniel mix has beautiful
“feathers” on his legs and underbelly. He looks great when he comes
from the groomer, but it doesn’t take
long before all that beautiful, long
fur is matted, tangled and (in the
summer) full of burrs. Any suggestions for keeping him neater?
— P.D., via e-mail
A: A lot of the physical features
we see on dogs today are more about
fashion than function. The profuse
coats and feathering of some breeds
and mixes are prime examples of
this impracticality. In spaniels
(especially American cockers),
breeders have gone for more and
more “furnishings” — longer, more
luxurious coats that look stunning
in the show ring but are too often
messy in real life. The overabundance of coat may show up in
spaniel mixes as well.
While those who show dogs work
to keep every inch of coat, for the
purposes of everyday life it’s
usually better to keep things cut
short. That’s why pet poodles are
kept in body-hugging “puppy clips”
and terriers have their wiry coats
clipped instead of having dead hairs
pulled individually, as is normal for
show. (Exhibitors call this “handstripping.” It’s tedious work but
essential for winning.)
Ask your groomer to clip your
dog’s feathers to a functional length
— short enough to keep combed and
brushed, long enough to maintain a
degree of attractiveness.
As for burrs, here’s a tip from
hunting-dog trainers: Spray a little
nonstick cooking spray (such as
Pam) on the area. The lubricating
effect will make it easier to slide the
burr out of the fur.
— Gina Spadafori
Q: I have a 5-month-old toy poodle,
and she isn’t very interested in food.
She’s healthy and playful, but I’m
worried she isn’t getting her nutrition. I leave dry food down all the
time. She waits until I add “goodies”
such as broiled chicken breast. Any
ideas? — Y.C., via e-mail
A: Without meaning to, you’ve
taught your puppy that food is always available and that if she waits,
something better will come along.
You’ve taught her to be finicky;
now it’s time to teach her to eat.
Don’t keep food available at all
times. It makes house-training more
difficult and removes the power of
food as a training tool. (Fresh water,
on the other hand, should always be
accessible.)
Give your pup a quiet place to eat
with no distractions. A crate is
ideal, but a small room with a baby
gate across it will also do. Put the
food down and leave your pup alone
for 20 to 30 minutes. Then pick up
the food, eaten or not, and give your
pet no food until the next scheduled
feeding. Repeat at every meal: a
quiet space, a set time for eating,
and remove the remainder.
Don’t worry if she misses a meal,
or even a day’s worth of meals. She
won’t starve. Above all: Do not, do
not, do not give treats between meals,
nor add those “goodies” to the meals
after she turns up her nose.
I doubt it will take more than a
couple of days for your puppy to
learn to eat promptly the food that’s
set down in front of her.
Note: Don’t try this on a finicky
cat. Cutting off a cat’s food supply
abruptly can trigger a potentially
fatal illness. If your cat’s not eating,
talk to your veterinarian.

Simple TV ad nets
big bucks for pets
The ASPCA scored millions
in donations with an ad
featuring sad pictures and
sweet music.
• An advertisement featuring
singer Sarah McLachlan for the
American Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Animals
(ASPCA) has proven to be a
bonanza. The spot features still
images of dogs and cats scrolling
across the screen while
McLachlan croons the haunting
song “Angel” in the background.
The New York Times reports the
simple pitch has raised roughly
$30 million for the organization
since early 2007. (The ASPCA’s
annual budget is $50 million.)
Even the sweetest family pet can turn into a horror when faced with a trip to
the veterinarian’s and a prescription for pills.
Getting meds down a cat can be good for a laugh
By Dr. Marty Becker
Universal Press Syndicate
I
n the spirit of the great
shock-u-mentaries that
are late-night cable
favorites, I am going to expose
veterinary medicine’s
heinous funny bone with a
joke we call “Give your cat
this medicine at home.”
It starts out with a cat lover
putting off the trip to the
veterinarian with a sick cat to
avoid the following chain of
events: cat hides under the
couch, human attempts to
extricate the cat and stuff it
into a carrier, cat claws shred
human flesh like a feline
Freddy Krueger, cat finally
womanhandled (man of the
house nowhere to be found, so
manhandled not a possibility)
into the carrier, and a quick
drive to the veterinary hospital, often while being
serenaded with the unhappy
sounds of a cat plotting
revenge.
Finally, the exam room: Let
the show begin!
Out explodes the cat,
hissing and raking the air
with claws extended. Finally,
about 325 pounds of restraint
(veterinarian plus technician)
catch the cat and put on a
show called Contortionist Cat
Examination. So far, so bad.
Everyone except the cat is
now covered in cat fur. Some
are sneezing. Many are bleeding. All are scared.
Finally, it’s our turn to get
even by simply saying to Mrs.
Client with a straight face:
“Socks has an infection that
will require treatment at
home for the next two weeks.
Give Socks one of these tiny
pills twice daily.” In the eyes
of the cat and the owner, of
course, the tiny pills look to
be the size of tennis balls.
As we watch the rumbling
box and dazed owner head
toward the car, we can well
imagine the World Wrestling
Federation Feline Match that
will take place once they are
home. The very thought
makes us smile as we clean up
the fur and patch up our
wounds.
Once Ms. Trepidation
(formerly Mrs. Frustrated
Kitty Client) opens the cat
carrier at home, a streak of
furry flash-lightning can be
seen dashing under the same
couch where this odyssey
began. When Ms.
Trepidation’s husband and
children come home, she
announces sweetly and
innocently: “We need to give
Socks a little medicine. Would
you mind helping mommy?”
If they’ve been through this
before, they respond with
their own dash for cover. If
they are rookies, they may
agree to help, having no idea
what’s about to happen.
Soothing words and food
lures are ignored by the cat. A
quick grab finally extricates
him from under the couch.
With pills and fluffy towels
THE SCOOP
Patience, repetition key to parrot speech
Teach your parrot to talk by repeating words
clearly. Nurture communication further by using
the words in their proper context and setting up
an association your bird can grasp.
For example, every time your bird lowers his
head to request a scratch, ask him, “Wanna
scratch?” and then scratch him. When you give
him foods or other toys, call them by name out
loud. Play naming games with him: Say “keys”
and then tell him “Good bird!” for taking them
from you, and then repeat the exercise.
You may have an easier time in a one-bird
household. Two birds may be more interested in
communicating with each other than in figuring
out your expressions. Some experts suggest not
attempting to teach your bird to whistle, at least
not until he has picked up speech. Whistling
birds seem to show a reluctance to use words.
Not all parrots will learn to talk. African
greys, Amazons and even tiny budgies seem to
enjoy sharing language. Cockatiels are more
likely to whistle tunes than talk.
Final note: Even if you’re not intentionally
trying to teach rude words or sounds to your
bird, you might want to be careful about what
your pet hears. Any word or sound can end up in
a bird’s repertoire, whether you want them there
or not.
— Gina Spadafori
out and doors closed, one set
of hands pries open the cat’s
mouth and the bell rings for
round one. Socks comes out
swinging with a classic “bite
or flight” response. The
family counterpunches
by throwing in the towel,
literally, over and around
the cat to make a cat burrito
that can be stuffed with
medicine.
Finally, the pill goes down,
and everyone gives a big sigh
of relief. Just then, the cat
spits out the pill and in a flash
is back under the couch. The
family takes round two in
stride as they put on the leather
gloves. Not intimidated by a
575-pound opponent (Mom,
Dad, couple of kids), the cat is
ready to explore the floor,
walls and ceiling of the living
room.
Meanwhile, back at the
vet’s office, the veterinary
team is chuckling. “Think of
all the suckers we sent home
to try to medicate their cats
today!”
The truth be known, it’s
difficult even for veterinarians to give some cats medications. So next time you visit
the vet and hear, “Give these
little pills to kitty,” turn the
tables by saying: “No, I think
I’ll hospitalize her so you can
make sure it gets done. As a
matter of fact, would you
show me the correct way to
give a cat a pill, right now?”
Oh no. Payback. The worm
has turned.
• Nearly 1,000 flute-playing
snake charmers protested in
Calcutta, India, demanding the
right to perform with live snakes.
USA Today reports that shows
with cobras and other snakes
have been banned in India since
the Wildlife Protection Act of
1991, though they are still a
common site among India’s
estimated 800,000 charmers.
• Serotonin is crucial in the
swarming of locusts, says a study
published in Science magazine.
The neurotransmitter, which
moderates all kinds of behaviors
in all kinds of animals (including
humans), has now been shown to
be responsible for turning desert
locusts from standoffish loners
into super-gregarious pests. This
discovery may lead to methods
to block the formation of locust
swarms that can cover hundreds
of square miles and involve
billions of vegetation-munching
insects, devastating agriculture
and costing tens of millions of
dollars to control.

and know you’ll eventually
want two, it’s easiest to adopt
a pair at the same time.
It might be even easier if
the kittens or cats are siblings, since they’ll already be
familiar with one another.
But even if you adopt two
unrelated cats or kittens (or
a cat and a kitten), bringing
them into a new home
together at the same time
works well, since neither has
established his territory in
the new environment.
Having two cats who
like each other is the ideal
situation, since neither will
be lonely when you’re at
work.
This is especially true of
cats who spend their entire
lives indoors. Having company can make life much
richer for them — and
for you!

Pursuant to O.C.G.A. 16-13-49(n), any
party claiming interest in the following
property is hereby notified that on the
31st day of January, 2009, said property
was seized by the undersigned agency
in Whitfield County, Georgia:
The seized property is described as
follows:
Seven Thousand Three Hundred
Seventy-Five Dollars ($7,375.00) in
United States Currency
Circumstances of the seizure were as
follows:
On January 31, 2009, an officer with the
Tunnel Hill Police Department initiated a
traffic stop of a Toyota Camry vehicle on
southbound Interstate 75 at mile marker
340 for driving a slow rate of speed, 55
mph in a 70 mph zone, ad weaving over
the roadway. The officer suspected that
the driver, Mr. Michael Aaron Johnson,
might be sleepy or distracted from a
long trip, since the vehicle was a rental
car with a Texas license plate. When he
spoke to Mr. Grant, the officer noticed a
strong odor of raw marijuana coming
out of the vehicle. The officer asked for
assistance from a Georgia State
Trooper. When Questioned, Mr. Grant
said that he had just picked up his
passenger, Mr. Josh Johnson, from a
university where Johnson played
football. When the officer confronted Mr.
Grant about the odor of marijuana,
Grant stated there was s small bag for
personal use under the driver’s seat.
Incident to a search, the officer was not
able to locate a small bag of marijuana
under the driver’s seat. However, in the
truck, the officer located over an ounce
of hydroponically grown marijuana in a
large bag, which also contained a
football jersey from Mr. Johnson’s
university The officer then found two
more bags of marijuana concealed
under some carpet. The total weight of
the marijuana was approximately one
pound. Both Mr. Grant and Mr. Johnson
were charged with violations of the
Georgia Controlled Substances Act for
possession of marijuana with intent to
distribute and possession of more than
one ounce of marijuana. Mr. Grant had
$5,800 of the above-referenced money
on his person when he was arrested. Mr.
Johnson had $41,575.00 of the abovereferenced money on his person when
he was arrested. The above-referenced
money was seized as a contraband ad
drug assets.
Forfeiture of the money herein is sought
by the State of Georgia under the
provisions of O.C.G.A. 16-13-49(d)(2) on
the grounds that it was used and
intended for use to facilitate a violation
of the Georgia Controlled Substances
Act and/or that it was proceeds derived
