Crain, Coggin give back to their beloved school

Newnan businessman Joe Crain and retired airline executive Bob Coggin, from left, both attended Western School as children. They are giving back, with a donation of funds for music instruments through the Coweta Community Foundation.

The spirit of Christmas giving started a little early this year for Welcome community natives Joe Crain and Bob Coggin.

The two Western School alums pooled some of their resources together with the Coweta Community Foundation to supplement

their alma mater’s music program, which has had to deal with budget cuts resulting from belt tightening school systemwide in Coweta County.

“I saw the two of them at the alumni dinner, and I told them we could use a little help,” said Terrie Wells, Western Elementary School choral director, at the presentation Thursday.

She said she had her eye on

“Carl Orff developed them,” she said. Anyone who’s ever listened to Sean Hannity’s radio program is familiar with his signature, bombastic choral piece, “Carmina Burana,” which opens the radio host’s

Eight people with the Georgia Department of Economic Development’s tourism and marketing staff

visited Senoia Friday — exclaiming over storage space in the Southern Living Idea House, examining jewelry and home decor items in downtown shops, soaking up the historic atmosphere and enjoying food and drink from two local eateries.

Tray Baggarly, director of

event services for the Coweta County Convention and Visitors Bureau, and Pam Mayer, the CVB’s welcome center coordinator, greeted the group and outlined the day’s itinerary.

Scott Tigchelaar, president of Raleigh Studios at Riverwood, took the state

program each day (just before Bruce Hornsby’s “That’s Just the Way It Is” kicks in).

“With these instruments, the students become the music,” said Wells. “They just love it.”

Coggin and Crain both said they love to give back to their school, which gave them their start.

New Xpress Bus park and ride lot opens on Monday

By SARAH FAY CAMPBELL sarah@newnan.com

By W. WINSTON SKINNER winston@newnan.com

$1.25 Sunday edition

The new park-and-ride lot for the Xpress Bus system will begin operation on Monday.

Friday was the last day for Xpress Bus riders to park at Ashley Park. The Ashley Park park-and-ride service will close, and the new park-andride lot, located at Hollz Parkway across from the Summit, will become the sole location to catch an Xpress Bus. Route times will not change.

Plans are to install a traffic light at the intersection of Hollz Parkway and Highway 34 East.

However, installation of the traffic light has been delayed because of a design issue, said William Mecke, spokesman for the Georgia Regional Transportation Authority, which oversees the Xpress Bus system. As soon as that issue is resolved, the signal will be installed.

However, because the parkand-ride lot itself is ready, the decision was made to go ahead and open it without the signal, Mecke said.

The lot can be accessed from Hollz Parkway at Highway 34,

or from Walt Sanders Memorial Drive at the traffic light. Take the roadway between Quik Trip and the J&R Plaza, which leads to Hollz Parkway and the parkand-ride lot.

The Xpress Bus system shuttles riders between Newnan and several stops in downtown Atlanta.

Reaction to the new lot was mixed among Xpress riders and their friends and family members who pick them up at the park-and-ride lot.

Two “reverse commuters” interviewed Friday were vehemently opposed to the change.

“It’s probably the last day I’ll ride,” said Hunter Altland.

Altland lives in Atlanta but works in the Shenandoah Industrial Park. The journey from Ashley Park to Amlajack Boulevard isn’t too bad; sometimes he catches a ride. “I can handle it here,” he said. But trying to get from the new park-and-ride to his job will require more walking, he said.

He’s been riding the bus for a little over a year and has really enjoyed it — though he wasn’t too happy about the recent fare increase. By Monday,

Wright

The West Georgia Technical College Foundation has appointed Coweta County Development Authority President Greg Wright to the Board of Trustees.

The foundation recently announced the addition of four new members to its 23-member Board of Trustees, including Wright, Page

Estes, Bob Harris and Jeff Dewberry.

“With West Georgia Technical College moving toward the groundbreaking for its new Coweta campus, I am honored to be asked to serve on the foundation board,” said Wright.

“The quality of the work force is very important to companies looking to locate or expand in the county, and the technical college is a

critical part of the economic development process,” he said.

“Being involved with the foundation board will give me an important seat at the table as the technical college moves forward and expands the educational opportunities available to area residents and companies.”

CDC: Flu already hitting Ga. hard

Photos by Winston Skinner

Scott Tigchelaar, far right, president of Raleigh Studios at Riverwood, leads representatives from Georgia’s state tourism office on a walking tour of Senoia.

ATLANTA (AP) — Georgia is the first state in the nation seeing significant seasonal cases of the flu, which has killed one woman in the Atlanta area, according to government health officials.

The Atlanta-based Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says most flu reports this fall have come from metro Atlanta, but cases have been reported in other parts of the state as well.

A 63-year-old woman died after contracting the flu in November, Georgia public health officials said. Overall, they say, school-age children are getting sick the most.

Georgia doesn’t estimate the number of its flu cases. But the

CDC says Georgia is definitely seeing more reports than other states.

“Georgia is seeing a much higher percentage of viruses positive for flu than we’re seeing at the national level,” Dr. Anne Schuchat, director of the CDC’s National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases, said Friday.

Unlike this time last year, when the U.S. was being hit hard by the H1N1 pandemic, this season seems to be dominated by a more common flu strain.

“This is a much more typical flu year,” said Dr. Cherie Drenzek, director of acute disease epidemiology at the state public health office.

Suzanne Pengelly talks to state tourism officials at Senoia Coffee Company. From left are Nija Torrence, Nerissa Serrano, Pam Kruseck, Tray Baggarly of the Coweta Conventions and Visitors Bureau, and Brittney Gray.

“I need this,” says Nija Torrence, operations manager with the tourism office of the Georgia Department of Economic Development. Also admiring the storage in the Southern Living Idea House is her co-worker, Pam Kruseck.

State group experiences small Coweta County town SENOIA Continued from page 1A more visitors — and shoppers — to Senoia..

DEcD staff making the trip to Senoia were Brittney Gray, regional tourism representative for the Atlanta-Metro region; Bruce Green, tourism product development director; Leslie Breland, product development manager/cultural tourism specialist; Peggy Smith, customer service manager; Nerissa Serrano, director of research; Nija Torrence, operations manager; Tiffany Marlin, visitor information services coordinator; and Pam Kruseck, international account manager.

The group assembled at Senoia Coffee Company, where owner Suzanne Pengelly talked about the history of the building, constructed in the 1920s, and the coffee shop, which was one of downtown Senoia’s first redevelopment projects back in 1999.

Tigchelaar said the coffee shop was the first step in the “revitalization and regentrification of the town.”

Pengelly said she and her husband started the business, sold it and then bought it back.

“We’re still working on the renovation,” she said.

At Senoia Coffee, the tourism group also had the opportunity to visit with Suzanne Helfman of the Senoia Downtown Development Authority.

Helfman said the downtown area has been transformed in the last three years — noting the extensive renovation of some buildings and the construction of two large structures that blend with the historic downtown and provide

retail, restaurant and office space.

“It keeps growing,” Helfman said. “You’ll be amazed, I think, at the changes. Things keep changing and improving — getting better.”

Tigchelaar said the film studio has worked for several years to “develop a relationship with a lot of the stakeholders in town.” The first step was to develop the “planned infill development” in the commercial area with Class A space for offices, retail and restaurants.

“One of the things we did was buy additional parcels in town for parking,” Tigchelaar explained.

The Idea House — one in a row of brownstones — is the first step in the next step in Tigchelaar’s concept which relates to residential development. Several streets flow around the Southern Living project, and Tigchelaar said eventually he plans several brownstones in the area.

Senoia already has a stock of Southern-style homes ranging from the antebellum and Victorian eras to the present day. The brownstones add the opportunity for filming scenes set in Savannah, Charleston, Philadelphia, Boston or — in a pinch — even New York City.

Because the brownstones are new, they are being built with both front and back access, so homeowners can get to their homes during a filming project.

Walking through the Idea House, Serrano was struck by what was under her feet. “The floor — I love the floor. It’s gorgeous,” she said of the gleaming wood.

“There’s storage everywhere,” Torrence exclaimed.

Examining a built-in cabinet area, she said, “I need this.”

“When you see it for the first

WEATHER

time, your eyes can’t absorb it all,” Green said.

Tigchelaar said some 25,000 people have been to see the Idea House — many of them people who “didn’t even know we existed.” The Southern Living project has focused “a lot of tourism eyeballs on the town,” he said.

The visit by the state officials was punctuated by informal discussions about tourism possibilities in Senoia — many of them centering around the presence of Raleigh-Riverwood and the many locations in the town that have been part of such films as “Fried Green Tomatoes” and “Killers” — as well as the television series “Drop Dead Diva.”

For years, the town has served as “a backlot for the film industry,” Tigchelaar said.

Green said tourism plans need to be tailored to connect with that movie history — using images from films that show the presence of stars in various places in Senoia.

Mayer noted a bridge over railroad tracks — used in filming a pivotal scene in “Fried Green Tomatoes” — is already a popular spot for photographs.

She said visitors also often want to see the Senoia residence that was the exterior for the Threadgoode home in that film.

Other popular sites are a church that was used in “The Fighting Temptations” and a house featured in the “Meet the Browns” television series.

The downtown area already features inset sidewalk markers noting the filming of about 10 movies in the area. Another eight markers will be placed eventually to note other productions.

getting their picture made, you know you’ve got something going on,” Tigchelaar said.

“I came to see the filming of the series finale of ‘Drop Dead Diva,’” Gray said. She said she sensed “such an enthusiasm” in the town about the television series being filmed there.

“It’s a new little destination town. It feels like a Mayberry,” Tigchelaar said. Yet, Senoia has some unique features because of its proximity both to Atlanta and to Peachtree City.

“There’s no shortage of quaint towns in Georgia, but this one’s really close” to Atlanta, Tigchelaar said.

Senoia is three miles away from Peachtree City, a planned community. “They don’t have a downtown. Senoia is becoming a little bit of a downtown for people in Peachtree City,” Tigchelaar said.

Peachtree City is famous for its golf cart paths, and Senoia allows golf carts on its streets.

Tigchelaar said there is only 200 yards separating a Peachtree City golfcart path from a Senoia connection.

Among the ideas discussed were the possibility of a tour with GPS coordinates that showed scenes from local productions at places where films were shot, trolley tours with video and narration that might also include a swing through the studio property, a Fried Green Tomatoes-themed cafe and a train ride between Newnan and Senoia with stops at Ashley Park and Sharpsburg.

A boutique hotel that would offer first class accommodations for visiting film stars, Peachtree City business travelers and tourists was also discussed. “We’re pursuing that hard,” Tigchelaar said of the hotel. “The market is here.”

Coweta County Development Authority, Wright markets Coweta for new business and industrial development. He has also served with the Georgia Department of Economic Development and spent seven years as president of the Newnan-Coweta Chamber of Commerce.

“The West Georgia Technical College Foundation Board of Trustees are industry leaders who advocate in the community on behalf of the foundation and the college,” said Dawn Cook, vice president of Institutional Advancement.

“We’re proud to add these four professionals to the board, and we’re grateful for the commitment and experience they bring to the WGTC Foundation.”

Estes, who serves as president of the Troup County Chamber of Commerce, and Harris, owner of Premier Healthcare Solutions, will both represent Troup County. Jeff Dewberry, plant manager at Southwire Company, will represent Carroll County.

A native of Kentucky, Estes received her bachelor’s degree from the University of Kentucky, master’s from the UK Patterson School of Diplomacy and International Commerce, and is a Doctoral Candidate at Auburn University. Estes has served as President of the LaGrangeTroup County Chamber of Commerce since January 2009.

Harris brings decades of experience in the health care industry to his new role on the Board of Trustees for the WGTC Foundation. Harris owns Premier Healthcare

Solutions, a company that provides home medical equipment to patients in Georgia and Texas. He was a member of the class of 1998 in Leadership Georgia, past director of the Carroll County Council on Aging, past director of the Carrollton Rotary Club and has served as a trustee for the University of West Georgia Foundation.

Dewberry’s 16 years with Carrollton’s Southwire Corporation gives him intimate experience in the manufacturing industry. Prior to graduating from Southern College of Technology, Dewberry participated in the Cooperative Education Program at Southwire Company, gaining valuable experience in the manufacturing industry.

“The Trustees of the WGTC Foundation have made a commitment to the future of the College through the Foundation that supports it,” said WGTC President Dr. Skip Sullivan. “I commend every one of the new Trustees for their service, and I personally thank them for their time and dedication.”

West Georgia Technical College, with campuses in Carroll, Coweta, Douglas, Haralson and Troup counties and additional class sites in Heard and Meriwether counties, offers more than 120 associate degree, diploma and technical certificate programs of study.

The college is in the process of fundraising for a new standalone campus in Coweta at a site off I-85 and Turkey Creek Road.

A unit of the Technical College System of Georgia, West Georgia Tech is the second largest of the state’s 26 technical colleges and one of the fastest-growing, two-year colleges in the nation.

Choose Your Tree Carefully ■ A live tree which can be planted after Christmas will be more likely to stay fresh throughout the season than a cut tree. Choose a healthy one and water it moderately while in the house.

■ When choosing a cut tree, look for freshness; the needles should be difficult to pull from the branches and shouldn’t break when bent between your fingers.

■ If purchasing an artificial tree, choose one that is labeled fire resistant.

Consider Where You’re Placing Your Tree and Furniture ■ Position the tree away from fireplaces, heat registers, direct sunlight, and other sources of heat that can cause the tree to dry out prematurely or even ignite it.

■ If rearranging furniture to make room for the tree, maintain clearance from sources of heat while maintaining safe exit ways and passageways.

Keep Your Cut Tree Fresh ■ Once home, spray the tree with water to remove dead needles and dust, then cut two inches off the base and immerse the cut end into water immediately.

■ Place the tree in a sturdy stand, capable of holding a large amount of water.

■ Check the water in the tree stand often. An average tree can consume a quart to a gallon of water every day.

■ Do not allow the water level to drop below the base of the tree or pores will seal again, preventing water absorption. If pouring water in the basin is difficult, add ice cubes regularly.

Decorate The Tree Safely

with seasonal, local ingredients.

Look for green greens for your home by choosing fresh wreaths and pesticide-free trees. Most importantly, keep in mind that the holidays are not about the gifts, the errands, and the trimmings; they’re about celebrating with your family and friends and appreciating the blessings in your life.

We happen to think Mother Earth is one of those blessings, so put these tips to work. *** Main Street Newnan’s 2nd Annual Cookie Crumble is Friday from 5-8 p.m. Come down, grab a map, stroll around and collect cookies and recipes.

■ Decorate a tree with miniature lights rather than the larger ones to prevent heat buildup and lessen drying effects. Never use real candles on a tree.

■ Inspect used lights carefully for frayed wires, broken sockets, or signs of wear.

■ Use only UL listed lights and other electrical items and limit to no more than 3 strands or items per outlet.

■ Turn off tree and exterior lights before leaving the house City of Newnan Animal or going to bed.

MACON, Ga. (AP) — Carlton Garey owes The Medical Center of Central Georgia almost $6,000, and he can’t pay.

The 45-year-old construction worker lost his job in July.

Though he didn’t have health insurance before — “I’m the type of person who really couldn’t afford it,” he said — it wasn’t a problem because he never had to go to the doctor.

But recent health trouble sent him to the emergency room twice, most recently in October.

Garey, of Macon, said he was diagnosed with a panic disorder brought on by stress, probably related to two recent deaths in his family.

And with no job, he can’t pay the bills.

“I’ve had (panic attacks) probably twice after that, and I’m trying to deal with it without having to go to the hospital,” Garey said. “I’m lining up broke every week, trying to pay one bill at a time.”

Garey is one of almost two million people in Georgia without health insurance, a figure that has been exacerbated by the poor economy.

Unemployment in the state has remained near 10 percent during the past year, and about 20 percent of Georgians were uninsured in 2009 — the most without any health care coverage during the past decade.

The result is more self-pay patients who either can’t pay their bills or who have the funds but don’t pay their bills for other reasons. Hospitals call the former “charity care” and the latter “bad debt.”

Statewide, hospitals provided more than $1.3 billion in uncompensated care in 2007, the most recent year available, said Kevin Bloye, spokesman for the Georgia Hospital Association.

Figures for 2008 will come out in January, and they are expected to be much higher.

“Obviously, it has a huge negative impact on the bottom line,” Bloye said.

“When you’re in the position of looking at operating in the red — about a third of hospitals in the state are losing money — they have to make tough decisions.”

Those could be reducing services or staffing, Bloye said.

Officials with the Medical Center and Houston Healthcare said the extra cost is not affecting patient care. But the impact on the bottom line is evident.

At the Medical Center, charity care and bad debt increased on the inpatient side by about $30 million in fiscal 2010, which ended Sept. 30, said Rhonda Perry, senior vice president and chief financial officer.

Some of those patients may qualify for Medicaid, Perry said, likely lowering the net increase to about $20 million once the hospital receives reimbursements, she said.

Self-pay typically runs 7 percent of the hospital’s total business, Perry said. That figure is probably pushing 9 to 10 percent now, she said.

“We are seeing an increase without a doubt,” she said.

In response, hospital officials try to identify patients who may be sent home sooner and look at ways to avoid higher cost services. The goal is to avoid permanent changes, Perry said.

However, “there is a point where if it continues to trend up, we will have to make changes to programs,” she said.

Houston Healthcare is expected to write off $24.2 million in charity care this year, a 40 percent increase over 2009 and an 83 percent increase over 2008.

Bad debt is expected to stay relatively stable, though, in part due to an aggressive campaign by the health care system to encourage more people to apply for charity care, said Frank Powell, chief financial officer for Houston Healthcare, which operates Houston Medical Center and Perry Hospital.

“We are qualifying more and more people,” Powell said.

As charity care and bad debt increase, they whittle into

hospitals’ bottom lines and operating margins. In general, the self-pay part of the business in the aggregate pays the hospital six or seven cents on the dollar, Powell said.

While hospitals receive reimbursements from Medicaid, Medicare and TRICARE, which serves the military community, they still pay below cost, Powell said.

In November, the two governing boards of Houston Healthcare approved a 7 percent rate increase to offset declines in government reimbursements.

“It all goes into the equation,” Powell said.

Despite the growing uninsured population, walk-in visits have decreased at clinics such as the Medical Center’s W.T. Anderson Health Center, which serves the uninsured, said Sandra Higgison, practice administrator for Health Services Central Georgia at the Medical Center.

This is due in part, hospital officials said, to a program called Care Partners, a member plan to medically manage the chronically uninsured.

Those who are recently uninsured are more likely to go to the emergency room, where the costs ultimately are much higher, said Jane Gray, assistant vice president for Patient Business Administration with the Medical Center.

They may not want to apply for Care Partners because they view their situation as temporary.

Also, those between jobs may not qualify for charity care because even though they are out of work, they have money, Perry said.

Still others may be insured but have third-party coverage with high deductibles that ultimately they can’t pay, she said.

Cooperation from patients is important in determining if they qualify for financial aid or other government programs.

Water District adopts new water conservation measures The Metropolitan North Georgia Water Planning District adopted new water conservation measures at its board meeting Thursday.

Over the next 25 years, these measures are expected to reduce water use in the metro area by some 30 million gallons per day.

The new conservation provisions were recommended by a group of local water providers, convened by the Metro Water District, who met for more than a year to evaluate dozens of water conservation measures in light of the July 2009 ruling in the tri-state litigation involving Georgia, Florida and Alabama.

The group analyzed projected water savings of each measure as compared to its projected cost and recommended those that are expected to deliver the greatest reduction in water demand most cost effectively.

Five measures apply only to those water suppliers that withdraw water from Lake Lanier or the Chattahoochee River, systems that are most affected by the ruling. These include systems in Cobb, DeKalb, Forsyth, Gwinnett and Hall counties and all Fulton systems except for College Park, East Point and Palmetto.

The remaining three measures apply throughout the 15county District.

The following measures apply to systems that get their water from Lake Lanier or Chattahoochee River: ■ Expedited water loss reduction — This measure will speed up the implementation of programs to identify and reduce system leakage.

■ Multi-family,

high-efficiency toilet rebates — This measure will provide HET rebates to multi-family homes in order to reduce indoor water use and speed the conversion of older, inefficient toilets toward lower flow models.

■ Installation of meters with point of use leak detection — This measure will lead to more timely notification of customers when leaks occur.

■ Metering of private fire lines — This measure will assist in identifying leaks and unlawful use of water from fire lines for anything but fire-fighting activities. As a best practice, fire lines should be kept in good repair and not interconnected with other service pipes.

Water drawn from the fire lines is for fire protection purposes only and not to be used for other non-fire related purposes.

■ Maintenance of a water conservation program — This measure ensures that local utilities allocate sufficient personnel to implement a robust water conservation program.

These measures are required District-wide: ■ Policy reducing water waste — Water waste means the excessive application of water that results in water flowing down any curb and gutter, street, storm drain or onto an adjacent property.

■ Requirement for high-efficiency plumbing consistent with the new state law — The Water Stewardship Act, adopted in 2010, updates the state’s plumbing code to require the use of more efficient toilets, urinals and faucets in new construction statewide beginning in July 2012. The new plumbing code requirements also apply to

fixtures that are replaced for any reason. This measure aligns the Water District plan with state law.

■ Additional education and outreach efforts — These initiatives will include outreach to homeowners about their plumbing systems, education on the use of graywater or rainwater harvesting, programs on residential irrigation system operation and maintenance, WaterSense or Xeriscape demonstration gardens and more. The Metro Water District’s education sub-committee will help identify specific programs and set priorities.

These measures are only the most recent efforts to use water more efficiently in metro Atlanta. The 15-county Metropolitan North Georgia Water Planning District is the only major metropolitan area in the country with more than 100 jurisdictions implementing a comprehensive water conservation program that is required and enforced.

Existing conservation measures include a variety of best practices ranging from tiered pricing (the more you use, the more you pay) and automatic rain shut-off switches for irrigation systems, to water system leak detection and repair and toilet rebate programs. New car washes are required to recycle water, and multi-family buildings must sub-meter individual units to help the occupants understand their water use and property managers identify leaks more quickly. As a result of these measures, per capita water use dropped 10 percent between 2001 and 2005.

Editorial Startling numbers about the jobs mess Jobs — or lack of them — has become a top issue on the minds of home folks here in Coweta and people throughout Georgia and our nation.

“The job situation is a mess,” said Dr. Albert Neimi, dean of the school of business at Southern Methodist University. Neimi spoke at an economic forecast breakfast on Thursday. Bank of Coweta was one of the sponsors.

In painting his picture of the jobs mess, Neimi, a former University of Georgia economic guru, gave an eye-opening scenario of the jobs outlook.

He told his audience that 150,000 jobs were created in October. But comprehend this: Neimi said if 150,000 jobs were created every month during 2011, employment would actually rise to 10 percent or more.

Even more eye-opening was this analysis: If 300,000 jobs were created every month

until 2017, we would finally have as many jobs in the U.S. as we had in 2007.

“We lost 8.7 million (jobs),” said Neimi.

“When I say the job situation is tough, it’s really tough,” said Neimi.

Even if we can get back to the jobs level of 2007, we still will be in a catch-up mode because of the number of people entering the job market each year. That includes nearly 2 million college students who are graduating annually.

Obviously, our economic and political climate today is still not favorable for jobs creation. There is still too much uncertainly about the economy and about the politics of Washington and Atlanta. That needs to change.

Freeze, then cut: Pay freeze for federal workers? How about a pay cut, too. It's foolish to spend money we don't have on services that are second rate. .....

Patriotism, cell towers: To non-patriotic people complaining about our American flag: Shut up and leave. To people complaining about the cell towers: If they take the towers down, you can not use your phone to text and talk while driving. What a great idea. .....

Some dreams die of old age.

I have always yearned to visit faraway places with strange-sounding names. Even as a child, I dreamed of sailing the South Pacific, scaling the Swiss Alps and watching the sun set behind the Great Pyramid.

The family travel budget topped out at trips to Panama City, but I learned that a short stroll to the movie theater could send me anywhere. Even to outer space.

I loved the old horror movies and still think Steve McQueen deserved an Oscar for his moving performance in “The Blob.” But when I saw films featuring outer space exploits, my spirits and blood pressure soared. I gobbled them up, from the cheesiest Bmovies to classics like “Forbidden Planet.”

No matter how scary Hollywood’s space aliens looked, I never considered burying myself in a fallout shelter. I wanted to grab a seat next to Buck Rogers on the first rocket ship leaving Earth and tackle those little green bad guys face to face.

As soon as America started its astronaut program I was ready to fly. I never did. But even after I realized I was no more qualified to be an astronaut than a brain surgeon, I fantasized about space travel. I followed every American space flight like a hawk and

Alex McRae

from time to time, couldn’t help but think, “What if?”

That dream died hard. But a few days ago, visions of space flight came roaring back when I read an article about some researchers who want to send “older” people to Mars.

These folks wrote a paper called “To Boldly Go,” echoing the split infinitive that for years introduced the “Star Trek” TV series (and gave English teachers nightmares).

In the paper, Washington State University professor Dirk Schulze-Makuch and Arizona State University physicist Paul Davies urged U.S. officials to send two-man teams of space explorers to Mars.

The professors recommended astronauts who are now racing toward Social Security eligibility. It sounded like the answer to a prayer. Then I read the fine print and saw the catch: The travelers never come back.

“The astronauts would go to

Not a good year for fishermen

Mars with the intention of staying for the rest of their lives, as trailblazers of a permanent human Mars colony,” the study said.

It’s the ultimate one-way ticket. But at this point in my life, I might still be willing to take a final fling at the final frontier. With one very large condition.

If going to Mars means giving up my life and liberty, so be it. But I’m not ready to abandon my personal pursuit of happiness. Especially when it comes to air travel.

Right now the only thing worse than an IRS audit is having your private parts pawed

by TSA security screeners before taking a flight.

And one group of non-frequent flyers always rates a second glance or third grope.

Security experts know that terrorists with bad intentions often purchase one-way tickets. Mostly because they don’t plan on coming back. When even “normal” travelers with one-way tickets hit the airport, they get a fondling that would make a Playboy bunny blush.

If people with one-way tickets to earthly destinations get special attention by TSA screeners, imagine what would happen if you show up sporting a one-way ticket to Mars.

The space monsters in those old movies were scary. This is worse. If my trip to Mars doesn’t include a waiver of TSA

screening, I will boldly — and gladly — sit at home a while longer. (send your e-mail comments to: alex@newnan.com)

With the worst oil leak in history along the Gulf Coast, even though it was finally capped, you might join fishermen in asking, “What else can happen?”

Well, this past week in my reading, I found out.

Fishing has been banned on the Sea of Galilee. This is the same body of water in our Holy Land tours that we crossed to the other side by boat and enjoyed a fresh fish fry along the shore.

Following the ban, fishermen who operate 70 fishing boats on the lake have had to look for other work.

Like Simon Peter, they must find this development difficult to accept. High-tempered Peter, who even had a fish named after him, would “blow his top” and James and John, “the Sons of Thunder,” would be breathing fire.

I do know this. Jesus would have soothed and calmed them just as He calmed the raging sea.

It has not been an easy year.

Much of the world has been in

an economic slump, but it will get better. Gulf Coast fishermen are back at work, and their seafood is on the market.

Reflect on these uplifting words: “And Jesus, seeing their faith, said, ‘Be of good cheer.

Be not afraid. I have told you these things that in me you may have peace. In this world, you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.’” (Matthew 9:2, 14:27, John 16:33.) KJV, NIV.) In quiet moments, I often bring back words of a small impatient grandson and reassuring reply of a wise grandfather: “Granddaddy,” the boy exclaimed, “Won’t the sun ever come up?” “My boy,” the old fellow said, “it always has.”

LOCAL

Towne Club Senior Living.

Get ready to grin.

Communters unload at the park-and-ride lot in Ashley Park. Friday was the last day of service at that location.

New Xpress Bus park-and-ride lot opens BUS Continued from page 1A Altland said he’ll probably be behind the wheel himself, driving to Newnan. “I can drive. I don’t have to have the bus,” he said. But “it was nice not having to drive.”

Fellow reverse commuter Drake Jackson agrees. He doesn’t believe people will want to drive that far out of their way to the park-and-ride lot.

He said he hasn’t heard anyone say they like the new location.

If the new park-and-ride lot were right at Interstate 85, that would be f ine, said both Altland and Jackson.

David Etheride said he doesn’t mind so much.

On Friday, Etheridge was waiting to meet his girlfriend, Yvonne Cato, who takes the bus to Buckhead every morning. “She loves it, she likes the convenience,” Etheridge said.

He said from what he has heard, “most people are pleased, the ones I’ve talked to.” Since the same people ride the bus or pick up their loved ones each day, “it’s just like a family out here,” he said.

They actually live closer to

the new park-and-ride, so “it’s OK. We’re just used to coming over here.”

The only person actually enthused on Friday about the new lot was Bill McGrain, who was waiting to pick up his wife, Denise. She has been riding the Xpress bus ever since the service started in 2004.

He thinks it will be a great improvement because there is good lighting, and shelter from the rain. There is only one small bench at the new lot, but that’s more than what exists behind Bugaboo Creek, where the bus has been picking up and dropping off passengers.

McGrain’s wife catches the 6:30 bus, and in the winter months, it’s still dark. McGrain said he’s almost hit other riders who were crossing the road and wearing dark clothing.

And because the new lot is exclusively for the Xpress bus, “I think it’s going to be much more convenient,” he said.

One rider, who didn’t want to be named, said the first time riders were told about the switch to the new lot was on the way home on Friday.

Everyone knew the new lot was on its way, but the actual announcement was made on short notice.

At times during the discussion of the new park-and-ride

lot, there had been talks about keeping both lots open.

Altland and Jackson think that would have been a great idea.

The park-and-ride at Ashley Park was never intended to be used permanently, Mecke said.

“We have actually been there longer than either we or our hosts initially expected,” he said. “The new park-and-ride station will provide a better boarding experience for our riders and, with more than 700 spaces, has the capacity to handle the current numbers of riders and many more in the future.”

Mecke added that Xpress and GRTA “appreciate very much the partnership we have had with Thomas Enterprises and the Georgian 14 Cinemas and the other businesses with whom we have shared the lot over the last several years. We thank them for their outstanding hospitality and patience while we searched for a location and then constructed the new park-and-ride station.

Without their cooperation and support it would have been very hard to build the success of Route 450.”

COWETA’S PLAYERS IN COLLEGE — UPDATES

Bonner has TD catch in playoff loss for Jax State FROM STAFF REPORTS sports@newnan.com

Special photo

Russell Powell (2) enters his second season as a starter for Jacksonville, which had won five straight games heading into Saturday’s conference game against Florida Gulf Coast. Powell had a season high 15 points in a win at Stetson before adding 11 in a victory at Auburn.

Newnan’s Powell still packing a punch at the point for Jacksonville

By CHRIS GOLTERMANN cgoltermann@newnan.com It wasn’t that long ago that Russell Powell was leading Newnan High teams to state semifinal appearances as a quarterback both on the football field and the basketball court.

Two years later, as a college point guard, Powell is just starting to hit his stride for Jacksonville University’s basketball team.

Over a span of two games in late November, Powell put together a career-high performance and then helped the Dolphins knock off host Auburn while entering his second season as a starter for head coach Cliff Warren.

Heading into Saturday night’s home game against Florida Gulf Coast, Jacksonville (5-1) had won five consecutive games including its conference opener against Stetson on Thursday.

Powell, though, was no stranger to the Dolphins lineup prior to the season. The former All-State football and basketball star played in all 33 games last season at Jacksonville as a freshman and was one of the team’s top freethrow shooters.

He’s grown equally comfortable to his role at point guard so far this season. In a 70-61 win over Stetson, Powell had a team-high six assists. Prior to the win, Powell had posted a season high 15 points to lead Jacksonville over Samford 6049, before scoring 11 points in a 69-55 victory at Auburn.

“When he’s on the floor, he’s the general of his team,” said Warren of Powell. “He not only has a high basketball IQ , but he also is a very good student and is the definition of an all-around student-athlete.

He’s also a proven winner.

A magical season for Newnan receiver Alan Bonner and Jacksonville State’s football team ended in Saturday’s second round of the NCAA Football Championship Subdivision playoffs.

Wofford advanced to play Georgia Southern in this week’s quarterfinals by defeating Jacksonville State 17-14 in Anniston, Ala..

Trailing by nine points late, Bonner caught a six-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Marques Ivory to pull within a field goal with 3:51 remaining.

In the final game of his sophomore season, Bonner had four catches for a teamhigh 58 yards and the team’s only scoring catch. This season, the former Cougar AllState receiver finished with 17 catches for 245 yards and five touchdowns, including one in an upset victory at Ole Miss.

Bonner also returned 28 punts in the 2010 season with an average return of 10.8 yards.

Georgia Southern, behind former Georgia Tech quarterback Jaybo Shaw, beat William & Mary 31-15.

Air Force and senior linebacker Andre Morris (Northgate) have accepted an invitation to play in the Independence Bowl on Dec. 27 in Shreveport, La., while projected to play Georgia Tech and Newnan redshirt-freshman center Ray Beno.

Former Northgate teammate and Army senior center Zack Peterson is headed to the Armed Forces Bowl in Texas on Dec. 30 against a Conference USA opponent.

Georgia and Newnan freshmen Alec and Zander Ogletree awaited its bowl invitation on Saturday.

Willis earns postseason honor: Freshman running back Tay Willis (East Coweta) earned honorable mention status on this year’s All-Jayhawk Conference team for Highland Junior College.

Ransby finishes first-ever season of Georgia State football: Freshman cornerback Jamal Ransby went from leading Newnan High to back-toback trips to the state semifinals to contributing immediately to a first-year college program. Ransby held his own as a true freshman, playing in all 10 games for head coach Bill Curry’s Panthers and finishing with 16 tackles, including 12 solo to go with a pair of interceptions.

NFL FOOTBALL

Falcons try to stay ahead of Buccaneers TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — No more chatter about whether the surprising Tampa Bay Buccaneers are the best team in the NFC. The streaking Atlanta Falcons ended that discussion and have a chance to put even more distance between the division rivals.

A month after leaving Bucs coach Raheem Morris little choice but to back off a bold declaration he made before taking the NFL’s youngest roster into the Georgia Dome for a first-place showdown, the NFC South-leading Falcons have the top record in the conference and are showing no signs of slowing down.

While Tampa Bay (7-4) hasn’t exactly fallen apart since coming within a yard of pulling off a fourth-quarter comeback that would have put them on top of the division, Atlanta (9-2) has won five straight and is on course to possibly earn homefield advantage throughout the playoffs.

Oh, I can add an extra point on to a touchdown and a field goal on to whatever a score happens to be as long as I have 10 fingers available.

But anything beyond that causes me great difficulty.

Imagine my consternation some time ago when I learned that Nebraska is joining the Big Ten. I was confused enough because the Big Ten actually has 11 teams and will soon have 12, but will still be known by the same name as it has been.

For a number of years it only had nine teams. When the once-mighty University of Chicago, a charter member of the Big Ten (actually known as the Western Conference at the time with seven teams before it became known as the Big 9 and then the Big 10, all of that happening between 1917 and 1946), gave up football in the 1940s, the

Ohio State was playing at Wisconsin, I To make it even more confusing, got daddy’s atlas down and found out TCU once played where it should have

played, in the Southwest Conference.

Then, when that league reorganized and TCU was left out, it joined the WAC, then Conference USA and then the Mountain West although you’d be hard-pressed to find mountains anywhere around Fort Worth, Texas, be they western or otherwise.

And now it will soon move east.

As most people in Texas will tell you, they don’t consider themselves east of much of anything.

They are western through and through.

But not anymore, at least not when it involves TCU. They are, however, are not alone in their confusion.

And, I never did figure out why the Atlanta Braves began divisional play in the Western Division of the National League.

Atlanta is west of Savannah, but not much else.

Of course, we all know that the reason for all the recent moves is financial. It has nothing to do with geography.

When the opportunity to play in a more prestigious conference or one that affords an institution of higher learning a better chance for its scholar-athletes to qualify for a big bowl or even a national championship itself, then geography flies out the window.

It’s a shame.

I wonder how kids today will ever learn where anything is anymore.

Sports Digest Compiled from the Associated Press MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL

Red Sox expected to land Padres’ Gonzalez in trade SAN DIEGO — All-Star slugger Adrian Gonzalez was in Boston on Saturday to take a physical exam needed to complete a trade from the San Diego Padres to the Red Sox, two people familiar with the situation told The Associated Press.

The people spoke on condition of anonymity because the trade hasn’t been finalized.

Besides passing the physical, Gonzalez and the Red Sox will have to agree to a renegotiated contract because of the caliber of prospects Boston is giving up, one of the people familiar with the deal said. That person said the teams hope to wrap up the trade before the winter meetings start Monday.

The Padres, who have a long history of dumping star players due to financial reasons, will receive three of Boston’s top prospects, plus a player to be determined in exchange for Gonzalez. The prospects are right-hander Casey Kelly, first baseman Anthony Rizzo and outfielder Reymond Fuentes.

Berkman agrees to 1-year deal with St. Louis Cardinals ST. LOUIS (AP) — The St. Louis Cardinals and free agent Lance Berkman have agreed to an $8 million, one-year contract.

The 34-year-old first baseman-outfielder is a five-time NL All-Star with the Astros and last year batted .248 with Houston and the New York Yankees, finishing with 14 homers and 58 RBIs. Berkman was traded to the Yankees on July 31 and helped them win the AL wild card.

Yankees, Jeter nearing agreement on three-year deal NEW YORK — Derek Jeter and the New York Yankees are near an agreement on a three-year contract that would contain an option for 2014.

The deal would include deferred money and average between $15 million and $17 million, a person familiar with the negotiations told The Associated Press on Saturday. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because no announcement has been made.

Jeter’s agent, Casey Close, and the Yankees negotiated late Friday night and early Saturday. The person said “substantial progress” had been made and it was possible an agreement could be reached later Saturday.

COLLEGE BASKETBALL

Top-ranked Duke beats Butler in rematch of title game EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — Nolan Smith scored 24 points to lead No. 1 Duke to an 82-70 victory over Butler on Saturday, moving Mike Krzyzewski into a tie with Adolph Rupp for third place on the coaching career wins list.

The game was a rematch of the schools that played an epic national championship game in April, a 61-59 Duke victory that gave Krzyzewski his fourth NCAA title. He has 876 wins overall, 803 at Duke.

NORTH CAROLINA 75, No. 10 KENTUCKY 73: Tyler Zeller scored a career-high 27 points and hit the go-ahead free throws with 47 seconds left, helping North Carolina edge past No. 10 Kentucky on Saturday at home.

Zeller scored 12 of the final 16 points for the Tar Heels (5-3), who earned a needed victory against a big-name opponent after struggling the first month of the season.

NFL FOOTBALL

Players association warns of lockout through letter FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — NFL players might soon be socking away their next paycheck to get ready for a lockout that could cost them their entire salary in 2011.

The pro football players’ union has advised its members to save their last three game checks this year in case next season is canceled. In a letter to the players that was viewed by The Associated Press, NFLPA executive director DeMaurice Smith said the union’s “internal deadline” for agreeing to a new collective bargaining agreement has passed.

Atlanta tr avels to Tampa Ba y FALCONS Continued from page 6A The third-place Bucs enter Sunday’s rematch at Raymond James Stadium coming off a 1710 loss to Baltimore and desperately needing to win to avoid dropping three games behind the Falcons in the standings.

“This is a real big game for us. Everybody in the locker room knows that,” Atlanta receiver Roddy White said.

“We know if we can win, we can kind of separate ourselves from them and not look back at the end of the season.”

Tampa Bay feels the urgency, too.

A win not only would nudge them closer to the Falcons and second-place New Orleans, but help them keep pace among a pack of teams in playoff contention.

“This is almost a must-win,” Bucs rookie defensive tackle Gerald McCoy said before quickly reconsidering his choice of words.

Morris drew attention to himself and his young, improving team last month when he said the Bucs, who won just three games a year ago, deserved to be considered the best in the NFC because — despite two lopsided losses — they shared the best record in the conference.

Since falling 27-21 at Atlanta, when the Falcons stopped rookie LeGarrette Blount near the goal line in the closing minutes on Nov. 7, the league’s youngest coach has tempered his comments about where the Bucs stand among elite teams.

Instead, he talks about the growth of second-year quarterback Josh Freeman and how Tampa Bay is committed to building a roster capable of winning for years to come.

The 34-year-old coach also cautions against judging the Bucs based on a 7-0 record against teams with losing records, compared to 0-4 against opponents with winning marks.

From left at the Western School funds presentation are James Welden, Connie Singleton and Amy Sweet of the Coweta Community Foundation.

Terrie Wells directs the Western Elementary School fourth and fifth grade chorus as they perform “The Nutcracker Suite” at Thursday’s Coweta Community Foundation presentation.

Bob Coggin visits with his niece, Lauren Coggin, a teacher intern at Western Elementary.

Crain, Coggin give back to school SCHOOL Continued from page 1A and I love this community, and whatever success I’ve had, it all started here, at this school,” said Crain, who now operates a Newnan-based oil company.

“I grew up a poor farm boy, on the Chattahoochee River out here,” said Coggin. “So Joe and I both have a very close attachment to Western.

“God has blessed me with

success in my life. I’m a great believer in sharing and giving back some of what you have so that you can help others,” said Coggin, a retired airline executive. “Joe believes in that, as well. Maybe this will inspire others to do the same thing.”

“Because of budget cuts, we basically have a budget of zero,” said Wells. “The arts aren’t like athletics. We don’t have a booster club. So we are very grateful for this.”

“Ms. Wells is a shining example of the great teachers we

have in the Coweta County School System,” said Coggin.

“We really have a great school system.”

Amy Sweet, chair of the Coweta Community Foundation, said she was impressed with the school’s choral performance of the “Nutcracker Suite” at the funds presentation this week.

“I can understand why people in the community have so much pride in Western,” said Sweet. “Thank you so much for having us here today.”

Salvaging historic timbers for arts center piece by piece DECATUR, Ala. (AP) — Unlike when the city of Decatur razed the old Elk’s Lodge and Decatur Utilities building, no wrecking ball or bulldozer will visit the Robinson building.

As methodically as workers built the almost century-old building, contractors will take it apart.

Part of the $6.847 million bid Fite Building Co. of Decatur submitted to construct the North Alabama Center for the Visual Arts includes disassembling the historic structure.

“Some of the wood in this building is worth a lot of money in the open market,” Fite Building President Jack Fite said.

Fite will contract with a company to reclaim the hard pine support beams, floor support and ceiling joists in the two-story facility.

“The company will take it down piece by piece,” Fite said.

Some of he wood will be used in the new building, but part of the contract for disassembling the building allows the sub-contractor to keep the lumber.

———

Centuries old Decatur architect Scott Schoel owned a company that specialized in timber restoration and has viewed lumber in the Robinson building.

He said some of the timber has growth rings suggesting

that it may be as old as 400 years.

“This is old growth pine, and there is not a lot of wood like this to harvest (anywhere),” Schoel said.

Rick Paler, director of the Downtown Redevelopment Association, said some of the timber was cut locally.

“The value is unbelievable,” he said.

Paler said it may take as long as six weeks to “carefully” disassemble the two-story, 35,000-square-foot building.

“We’re going to showcase some of the lumber in the new building, which will look like the old one, but with a lot more glass,” he said.

Zeno Bailey constructed what is known as the Robinson building and used it as a wholesale grocery store.

Paul Robinson, who sold furniture from the back porch of his home on Canal Street Northeast, started using the place as a warehouse in 1973.

After stops on Bank Street and in an old warehouse the AmSouth Bank Building replaced, Robinson and wife, Maude, moved the furniture company to Second Avenue Northeast in 1981.

With plans of constructing a downtown convention center, the city acquired the property.

Because of cost, city leaders scrapped convention center plans and embarked on a mission to bring Calhoun College’s arts program to downtown.

PH&J Architects of

Montgomery designed the 43,572-square-foot center that will eliminate the River City’s title as the state’s largest municipality without a college presence.

———

Opening in 2012 The center is slated to open in 2012 and is a partnership between Athens State, Calhoun, the city of Decatur and the Morgan County Commission. The two colleges will share 80 percent of the cost, while Decatur and the commission will fund 10 percent each.

The building will house the visual arts programs for both Calhoun and Athens State.

The center will feature a large art gallery on the first floor with a courtyard/patio on the north end. The gallery is big enough for traveling art shows and receptions.

The courtyard could be an overflow area for these receptions or an area for outdoor classes, officials said. The first floor will have a small art shop, administration offices and a large classroom.

The second floor will consist of classrooms and computer and art labs.

In addition to offices and classrooms, the third floor is a large open studio for school and community artists.

Mystery surrounds man in publicist killing LOS ANGELES (AP) — He was named a “person of interest” in the killing of a Hollywood publicist, and he shot himself to death as detectives tried to question him — but police say it’s still not clear if he played any role in the murder.

What is certain about Harold Martin Smith is that he was an armed career criminal possibly looking at another stretch in prison.

Documents obtained Friday

by The Associated Press reveal that Smith, who acquaintances say had boasted of killing Ronni Chasen for money, was a convicted, two-strikes felon with a long criminal history.

never return to prison.

Beverly Hills police detectives, armed with a search warrant, approached him Wednesday in the shabby lobby of the Harvey Apartments, told him to take his hands out of his pockets and said they were there to talk about Chasen’s killing.

Smith pulled a gun from one of those pockets and shot himself in the head.

Police say it’s possible Smith had no connection to the murder.

“At this time, it is unknown if this individual was involved in the Chasen homicide,” Lt. Tony Lee said in a statement Friday.

He reiterated that Smith was a “person of interest” rather than a suspect. He said undercover officers were following a tip from the Fox program “America’s Most Wanted” when they approached him.

However, as a convicted felon with a gun, Smith likely

knew he was in trouble no matter what he told police, criminal experts say.

“Here’s Harold talking all this (expletive).

Cops are standing there looking at him, he’s thinking, I didn’t kill Ronni but I’m standing here with a gun in my pocket,” specSmith ulated private investigator John Nazarian, a former sheriff ’s deputy who has investigated homicide cases. “He’s going to go back to prison, for life probably. So he just decided to check out.”

A third felony conviction could have brought a life sentence for Smith under California’s three-strikes law.

Court records show Smith, a

transient, was no stranger to Beverly Hills, where Chasen was shot to death on Nov. 20.

He was arrested for robberies in that city and neighboring West Hollywood and sentenced to 11 years in prison in 1998.

One of the victims testified in court that he grabbed her in a bear hug and demanded her purse but fled with just her portable music player and headphones when she screamed and struggled.

His criminal record dates back at least 25 years to 1985, when he was convicted of burglary in New York. He moved to California in 1991, was arrested again for burglary and pleaded guilty. Three years later, he was charged in an Oregon robbery but it could not be immediately determined if he was convicted.

He was charged with marijuana possession and loitering last year in Manhattan Beach, Calif., and pleaded guilty to the

latter charge. A warrant for his arrest was issued after he failed to return to court in September to pay his $160 fine.

Chasen, 64, was shot multiple times as she drove through Beverly Hills in her Mercedes from a party after attending the premiere of the movie “Burlesque.” She was promoting the film’s soundtrack for an Oscar nomination.

Retired homicide detective Gil Carrillo, who examined a preliminary coroner’s report on Chasen obtained by KTTV, said it revealed that whoever shot Chasen was an expert marksman. That led Nazarian to question how someone such as Smith, living on the margins, could have pulled off such a killing.

“Would somebody in a conspiracy to kill somebody actually want Harold on their team?” he asked. “I mean, come on. It doesn’t make sense.”

As police continued their

investigation Friday, a judge approved a petition to appoint special administrators for Chasen’s estate, which court records show has an estimated value of $6.1 million. Attorneys for executors named in Chasen’s 1994 will were asking the judge to appoint them as administrators so they can run her business and try to determine whether the publicist had a newer will.

Martha Smilgis, one of the co-executors, said she did not think Chasen was killed because of anything in her will.

A friend of Chasen for more than 30 years, Smilgis said the veteran publicist had not expressed any fear or concern in recent conversations.

“Believe me, this woman expected to live on and on,” Smilgis said.

Senate showdown may pave way for year-end tax deal WASHINGTON (AP) — Senate Republicans derailed legislation Saturday to extend expiring tax cuts at all but the highest income levels in a political showdown that paradoxically clears a path for a compromise with the White House on steps to boost the economy.

“We need to get this resolved and I’m confident we can do it,” President Barack Obama said shortly after the near party-line votes. The public must have “the peace of mind that their taxes will not go up” on Jan. 1, he added.

Obama has signaled that he will bow to Republican demands for extending tax cuts at all income levels, and his remarks capped a day that lurched between political conflict and talk of compromise on an issue that played a leading role in last month’s elections.

Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., eyeing the 2012 campaign, accused Republicans of siding with “millionaires and billionaires” with their rejection of proposals that would let tax cuts passed during George W. Bush’s presidency lapse on seven-figure incomes.

Republicans noted that unemployment rose to 9.8 percent last month and said it made no sense to raise taxes on anyone in a weak economy.

Sen. Jon Kyl, R-Ariz., jabbed that Democrats were undergoing a “political catharsis” in public after losing control of the House and surrendering several seats in the Senate in

the Nov. 2 election. But the rhetoric subsided quickly after the votes, and Senate leaders in both parties said they hoped political clashes would give way to compromise in the next several days.

Kentucky Sen. Mitch McConnell, the GOP leader, said he was relatively confident there would be a deal with the White House “not to raise taxes in the middle of a recession.”

He said talks were continuing on the length of an extension to be enacted for the cuts that were put in place in 2001 and 2003.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., said he hoped for an agreement by the middle or end of next week on legislation that would combine an extension of tax cuts with a renewal of expiring jobless benefits for the long-term unemployed.

Officials have said that in addition to tax cuts and unemployment benefits, the White House wants to include renewal of several other tax provisions that are expiring. They include a break for lower- and middle- class wage earners, even if they don’t make enough to pay the government, as well as for college students and for companies that hire the unemployed.

Key lawmakers and administration officials have been at work negotiating the terms of a possible deal for several days.

But many congressional Democrats privately have

expressed anger at Obama for his willingness to surrender to Republican demands to let the tax cuts remain in place at upper incomes, and numerous officials said no compromise would be possible until they had engineered votes in both the House and Senate.

Any deal would mean a reversal for Obama, who said in the 2008 presidential race and this year that he wanted to let cuts expire above incomes of $200,000 for individuals and $250,000 for couples.

In the Senate, a bill to enact Obama’s original position was blocked on a vote of 53-36, seven votes short of the 60 needed to advance.

Republicans were unanimous in their opposition, and were joined by Democratic Sens.

Russell Feingold of Wisconsin, Joe Manchin of West Virginia, Ben Nelson of Nebraska, Jim Webb of Virginia and independent Joseph Lieberman of Connecticut.

The second measure would have let taxes rise on incomes over $1 million. It appeared crafted to appeal to senators from states with large highincome populations, as well as cast Republicans as protectors of the rich.

It was blocked on a vote of 53-37, also seven short of the 60 needed. A slightly different lineup of Democrats sided with Republicans, including Sens.

Dick Durbin of Illinois, Tom Harkin of Iowa, Jay Rockefeller of West Virginia and Feingold.

South Korea again vows retaliation against NKorea SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — South Korea’s new defense minister took office Saturday and vowed a strong military response that would force rival North Korea to surrender if it attacks the South again.

Kim Kwan-jin’s predecessor resigned amid criticism that the government responded weakly to a Nov. 23 North Korean artillery barrage on a South Korean island near their disputed western sea border that killed two South Korean marines and two civilians.

During a confirmation hearing Friday, Kim warned that South Korea would launch air strikes on the communist North if it stages another attack.

“If North Korea carries out a military provocation on our territory and people again, we must retaliate immediately and strongly until they completely surrender,” Kim Kwan-jin said in a speech Saturday to senior military officials.

Kim also called for military readiness, saying North Korea would plot new provocations.

He later visited the island targeted by the North Korean attack. He said the military would quickly hold firing drills if the weather permits, according to the Yonhap news agency.

Skirmishes occur periodically along the two Koreas’ dis-

puted maritime border, but the latest assault was the first since the 1950-53 Korean War to target a civilian area.

The attack came eight months after an alleged North Korean torpedo strike on a South Korean warship killed 46 sailors. North Korea has denied involvement.

Critics have questioned President Lee Myung-bak’s willingness to stand up militarily to the North, despite his tough stance of refusing to coddle the reclusive regime since taking office nearly three years ago.

Lee must balance calls for a harsh response with the knowledge that Seoul — a city of more than 10 million people — is only 30 miles (50 kilometers) from the heavily militarized border and within easy range of North Korean artillery.

On Friday, the U.S. Senate approved a resolution condemning the North Korean attack and urging the North to halt all nuclear activities and refrain from any further actions that may destabilize the Korean peninsula.

“This brazen attack is one in a series of actions by the government of North Korea that undermine regional peace and security, especially on the Korean peninsula,” the resolution said.

Kim Kwan-jin

Also Friday, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said she will meet with her South Korean and Japanese counterparts on Monday in Washington “to review the approach we should be taking” toward North Korea.

“What we object to is a pursuit of nuclear weapons that can be used to threaten and intimidate their neighbors and beyond,” Clinton said in Bahrain. “That is unacceptable, and it is destabilizing.”

Clinton will hold separate meetings with the South Korean and Japanese foreign ministers on Monday before the three meet together later in the day, State Department spokesman P.J. Crowley said.

After quitting the six-nation talks in April 2009, North Korea has shown it is eager to restart them to gain muchneeded fuel oil and aid in exchange for nuclear disarmament. However, North Korea’s recent revelation that it has developed a large uranium enrichment facility, giving it a new method for making material for bombs, has further called into question its intent to disarm.

Lieberman also opposed it.

The White House opposed the second measure bill, and given the president’s willingness to sign a bill to extend all the expiring tax cuts, there was never any doubt about the outcome of the day’s proceedings in the Senate.

But Democrats said that even with elections nearly two years away, they intended to try and depict Republicans as defenders of the rich whose policies contribute to rising deficits.

“Do we want to extend those tax breaks for millionaires and billionaires at a time of huge deficits. I would argue vociferously we shouldn’t, said Schumer.

Referring to the 2012 elections, he said about Republicans: “I’m going to be here for the next year, next two years, to remind my colleagues that they were willing to increase the deficit $300 billion to give tax breaks to people who have income over a million dollars.”

Republicans sounded alternately bemused and offended.

“It is the most astounding theory I have ever seen. Raise taxes to create jobs,” said Sen. John Thune, R-S.D. Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, said Democrats perhaps viewed the votes as a gift to their political constituents. But, he added, “two years of wall to wall Democratic rule has only made the situation worse” in the economy.

The day’s events capped a

week that included a meeting at the White House at which Obama and top congressional Republicans sat down together for the first time since the elections.

Both the president and GOP lawmakers pledged afterward they would try to work together for the good of the economy, and agreed to set up a small negotiating group to discuss the tax issues.

The White House, Reid and Republicans have been negotiating quietly, and McConnell made a point of saying he had been in frequent touch with the administration in recent days.

In addition to tax cuts, Obama has made ratification of a new arms control treaty with Russia a priority of the postelection session of Congress, reducing his leverage with Republicans in the struggle over taxes.

Senior Senate Republicans have indicated they will not try to interfere with a debate on the issue as long as government spending and tax cut issues have been resolved to their satisfaction.

A two-thirds majority is required for ratification, meaning the White House will need the support of at least nine Republicans to prevail. Vice President Joseph Biden and other off icials have been involved in talks with several GOP senators in hopes of lining up the votes needed.

Responders head to disabled ship in Bering Sea ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) — Emergency vessels hurried to reach a cargo ship carrying nearly half a million gallons of fuel as it struggled off Alaska’s remote Aleutian Islands for a second day Saturday.

The 738-foot Golden Seas, with a full load of canola seed, suffered engine troubles in strong winds and rough seas Friday that caused it to drift toward Atka Island, about 1,300 miles southwest of Anchorage.

During the night, after the weather eased, it motored at about 3 to 4 mph back out to sea. By Saturday morning it was about 40 miles from land, reducing fears it would run aground, said Coast Guard Chief Petty Officer Dana Warr.

A powerful commercial tug was expected to arrive Saturday afternoon, he said.

Strong winds continued, with 20- to 25-foot seas, but calmer weather appeared to be moving in. A Coast Guard cutter was also on the way.

“Everything is going well,” Warr said. “We have rescue crews remaining in place in Dutch Harbor. The weather predictions seem to be diminishing.”

Plans called for the 18,000horsepower Tor Viking II to tow the Golden Seas to port at the nearby island of Adak or possibly in Dutch Harbor,

about 350 miles away.

Responders said the vessel, which is managed by Allseas Marine, based in Athens, Greece, lost its turbo charger.

That left it without enough power to overcome 29-foot seas and winds blowing at 45 mph.

Petty Officer David Mosley said the Liberia-flagged ship is carrying more than 457,500 gallons of fuel oil, nearly 12,000 gallons of diesel fuel and 10,000 gallons of lube oil.

The ship is en route from Vancouver, Canada, to the United Arab Emirates, the Coast Guard said.

There were no reports of injuries among the 20 crew members on board.

The Golden Seas is the latest example of the challenges involved in responding to incidents in the remote region, said Whit Sheard, an Oceana attorney who sits on the Aleutian Island Risk Assessment Advisory Panel, established with criminal settlement funds from the grounding of the Selendang Ayu six years ago.

The ship, the same size of the Golden Seas, ran aground Dec. 8, 2004, and broke apart on the north side of Unalaska Island, also in the Aleutians. About 66,000 tons of soybeans were lost.

BERLIN (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The online payment service provider PayPal has cut off the account used by WikiLeaks to collect donations, serving another blow to the organization just as it was struggling to keep its website accessible after an American company stopped directing traffic to it.

PayPal said in a blog posting that the move was prompted by a violation of its policy, â&#x20AC;&#x153;which states that our payment service cannot be used for any activities that encourage, promote, facilitate or instruct others to engage in illegal activity.â&#x20AC;?

The short notice was dated Friday, and a spokeswoman for PayPal Germany on Saturday declined to elaborate and referred to the official blog posting.

Donating money to WikiLeaks via PayPal on Saturday was not possible anymore, generating an error message saying â&#x20AC;&#x153;this recipient is currently unable to receive money.â&#x20AC;?

PayPal is one of several ways WikiLeaks collects donations, and until now was probably the most secure and convenient way to support the organiza-

tion. The other options listed on WikiLeaksâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; website are through mail to an Australian post office box, through bank transfers to accounts in Switzerland, Germany or Iceland as well as through one â&#x20AC;&#x153;credit card processing partnerâ&#x20AC;? in Switzerland.

WikiLeaksâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; PayPal account redirects users to a German foundation named after a German hacker which provides the organization with the money. The Wau Holland Foundation, named after a German hacker, confirmed Saturday in a Twitter message that their PayPal account had been taken down. Messages left for the foundation were not immediately answered.

The move by PayPal, a subsidiary of U.S. based online marketplace operator EBay Inc., came as another blow to the organization that has embarrassed Washington and foreign leaders by releasing a cache of secret â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and brutally frank â&#x20AC;&#x201D; U.S. diplomatic cables.

WikiLeaks had become an Internet vagabond Friday, forced to move from one website to another as governments and hackers hounded the

organization, trying to deprive it of a direct line to the public.

EveryDNS â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a company based in Manchester, New Hampshire, stopped directing traff ic to the website wikileaks.org late Thursday after it said cyber attacks threatened the rest of its network.

But while wikileaks.org remained unreachable Saturday, the organization has found new homes. Its German website wikileaks.de was reachable Saturday, and so was its Swiss domain.

The Swiss address directs traffic to servers in France, where political pressure quickly mounted with Industry Minister Eric Besson on Friday saying it was unacceptable to host a site that â&#x20AC;&#x153;violates the secret of diplomatic relations.â&#x20AC;?

The web hosting company OVH confirmed that it had been hosting WikiLeaks since early Thursday, after a client asked for a â&#x20AC;&#x153;dedicated server with ... protection against attacks,â&#x20AC;? adding it was now up to the courts to decide on the legality of hosting the site on French soil.

WikiLeaks has been brought down numerous times this

week by what appear to be denial-of-service attacks. In a typical such attack, remote computers commandeered by rogue programs bombard a website with so many data packets that it becomes overwhelmed and unavailable to visitors. Pinpointing the culprits is difficult. The attacks are relatively easy to mount and can be performed by amateurs.

Legal pressure also increased on WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange after Swedish authorities revised a warrant for his arrest in response to procedural questions from British officials.

British law enforcement authorities have refused to say if or when Assange would be arrested. His lawyers have said they believe they would be notified of any move to arrest him but had yet to be served with a warrant as of Friday afternoon.

The 39-year-old Australian is wanted on allegations of rape and other sex crimes that emerged after a trip to Sweden in August.

PayPal cuts WikiLeaks from money flow

By SARAH FAY CAMPBELL business@newnan.com Over the past four years, Dr. Rob DeBease and the staff of Alternacare Holistic Healthcare and Weight Loss Clinic have collected approximately 5,000 nonperishable food items for the Coweta Community Food Pantry. â&#x20AC;&#x153;During the holiday season we tend to reflect on those things that make us feel thankful,â&#x20AC;? said DeBease. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But what about our areaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s less fortunate who have no food?â&#x20AC;?

DeBease and his staff teach a variety of health-related workshops on topics such as weight loss, balancing hormones, and natural support for anxiety and depression. He typically charges $15 for the workshops.

However, for the past four years, the fee has been waived with the donation of a nonperishable food item. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We really need to take responsibility for our fellow man,â&#x20AC;? said DeBease. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m more than happy to donate my time doing these workshops because they are a great way for me to meet people who need help and raise food for those that are hungry.â&#x20AC;? ***

Untreated, GERD can result in complications such as narrowing of the esophagus, ulcers and bleeding of the esophagus.

Crazy Hair flows beautifully at First Baptist of Moreland At First Baptist Church of Moreland, sometimes it’s just a big, hairy deal.

Several events at the church in recent months have involved folks wearing hair — their own or the store-bought kind — in some unusual way. Crazy Hair Night was a part of the church’s Saddle Ridge Ranch Vacation Bible School during the summer.

The Crazy Hair theme was so much fun, it was used again

for Crazy Hair Night as an Awana activity. All the children and teachers had to wear crazy hair for that Sunday evening gathering.

Around 700 children signed in for the church’s annual Trunk or Treat recently. More than 1,000 people attended, and many adults and children had hair that was noticeably different from how they wear it most days.

Bar named convener for OSL chaper Bonnie Bar, MSN, was recently installed as convener for the Jehovah Rapha Chapter of the International Order of St. Luke the Physician.

She was installed at an OSL Healing Conference by William De Arteaga of Canton, who represented the larger OSL organization. The International Order of St. Luke the Physician is an ecumenical organization dedicated to the Christian healing ministry.

The convener is a chapter leader and organizes the activities of the chapter — promoting and providing resources for the use of study materials. The convener also gives focus to the chapter in terms of its goals and conduct of business.

He or she works out active programs of teaching about the healing ministry and provides ways for the members to learn by participating as well as by listening. In addition, the convener supports associates as they prepare for full membership and makes arrangements for their inductions.

Responsibilities of the convener include: ■ publicizing meetings by notifying members of upcoming meetings and events, notifying area churches with bulletins, e-mail, telephone calls, postcards or newspaper announcements.

■ inviting congregations to attend meetings and participate or receive prayer for themselves or others.

■ promoting the OSL by reaching out to the community through healing services, missions, retreats, workshops or other events.

■ overseeing records of the

chapter and storing documents passed down from former chapter leaders.

■ maintaining bank accounts as needed and keeps the chapter informed of chapter finances.

■ maintaining membership lists.

■ encouraging personal healing ministries for the members, such as visiting the sick, taking Communion to the ill or infirm and providing prayer ministry for physical, emotional or spiritual healing. Other ministries may also be involved — such as serving as volunteers in prison ministry, as lay hospital chaplains, and in other community service.

Conveners meet with their peers from other chapters nearby from time to time to share ideas about chapter and OSL activities and possible cooperation with missions or other events.

Bar is an associate professor of nursing at the University of West Georgia where she has taught nursing for 28 years. She received her associate of science in nursing degree from the University of West Georgia, her bachelor of nursing degree from Medical College of Georgia, and her master of science in nursing from Georgia State University.

Bar has had a private practice as a certified holistic nurse and has led a weekly Christianbased addiction recovery group at a local women's jail for six years. Bar was cofounder of West Georgia Habitat for Humanity. She is also a prayer minister and teacher at the Cathedral of Christ the King in Sharpsburg.

Those twinkling lights Twinkling lights have been a part of Christmas for a long as I can remember.

On Friday after Thanksgiving, downtown was filled with twinkling lights. The big tree at the courthouse was covered with lights of many colors, and displays in store windows around the square echoed the festive hues.

The most beautiful lights, however, were in the brown eyes of my granddaughter.

Lynn and I persuaded Sallie and Jim to come downtown so that Clair Lynn could sit on Santa’s lap. At 21-months, Clair Lynn is bringing joy to the holidays for all of her family.

Jane, our younger daughter, was down from Lawrenceville for a nice, long visit — the first in awhile. She always brightens any gathering, and we were all glad to find she had arrived at the court square with her camera — to snap some pictures of her only niece.

Clair Lynn is at a precious age — enchanted by the trees and lights, interested but quizzical where Santa is concerned.

She also is not old enough to grasp the whole “wish list” concept. Though she will be well remembered by Santa and by everyone who loves her this Christmas, there are no wants — no doll for which she is pining or game without which Christmas will be less than perfect.

As we got in line on the north side of the courthouse, Clair Lynn was immediately drawn to the huge tree. She pointed her little finger toward it, which means that someone is supposed to take her there. Jim and I took turns taking her to see the tree, letting her sit in the big red sleigh outside for a picture. She joined several youngsters in walking round and round the red base at the foot of the tree. She is working on colors and would sometimes point to one of the lights and say “blue” or “yellow.”

We soon discovered that Kevin and Sharon Harrison and their boys were just ahead of us. Sharon grew up just down the road from Mt. Zion Baptist, and she and her family are a part of life there. Pierce is in school now, and little brother, Wyatt, is enough older than Clair Lynn that they enjoyed meeting up on the tree base.

I also discovered Wyatt is something of a talker. He shared several thoughts with me as I followed the Queen Bee around the tree.

As we moved up the steps, one of Santa’s elves brought Clair Lynn a candy cane, which she thoroughly enjoyed. Soon we were inside the big doors — basking in the warmth and seeing, in the center of the courthouse beneath the dome, the jolliest of old elves himself.

I recognized the twinkle in his eyes immediately. We have a picture of Sallie on his lap years ago. He had made a special visit to a party given by Beth Thomasson Neely, and Sallie is sharing her earnest wishes with Santa in the photo.

Clair Lynn seemed quite interested in what was going on, even though she was getting toward sleepy time. When she got to sit on Santa’s lap, however, she was less than thrilled. The photographer was a good one. He got a nice picture that shows Clair Lynn with a somewhat bemused look on her face.

He also got another one that had a iflooks-could-kill facial expression. I told Lynn I had seen that look on the faces of several generations of females in Clair Lynn’s family tree.

Soon we were out and on our way across the street to Redneck Gourmet for supper.

Clair Lynn decimated a hot dog and kept us all entertained.

As Lynn and I headed toward our car, we saw Santa — his “making a list” duties done for the night being drive away by a Newnan Police Department officer. We commented on how nice it is that the local police take such good care of Santa.

The season continues apace. On the Sunday after Thanksgiving, we had lunch at Cedar Hill, my parents’ home near Moreland. We Skinners will have a Christmas gathering at Rhodes and Tracy’s new home later this month, and we talked about plans for that get-together.

A highlight of the meal was the arrival of Jim, who has been running a holiday errand. “Daddy!” Clair Lynn crowed when he entered the room. Lynn and I decided that must have made Jim feel 10-feet-tall.

Lynn and I have gotten to see the joy on Clair Lynn’s face as she showed us her own Christmas tree and as she took in the white-and-gold glory of the Chrismon tree at Mt. Zion. Twinkling lights in beautiful brown eyes will make this Christmas one with memories to treasure.

Sewell’s Santas on exhibit at City Hall as Artist of the Month Pat Sewell, a member of the Newnan-Coweta Art Association (NCAA), is the perfect choice for Artist of the Month for December. Sewell’s pieces offer a fun and whimsical take on Santa Claus, and are on display at Newnan City Hall, 25 LaGrange St. in the City Manager’s office.

Sewell has enjoyed a lifelong interest in the art world by attending shows, exhibits, and museums at every opportunity. She collects a variety of artwork including her “rescue” collection of unknown, amateur work she finds in flea markets, antique shops and yard sales.

As a young child, Sewell’s favorite Christmas presents were a coloring book and a box of crayons with lots of colors. A tray of watercolors, drawing paper, and brushes were other favorites. “I suppose that is when I began my attachment to painting pictures of Santa, elves, and angels,” said Sewell.

A self-taught artist, Sewell studies art books and attends workshops and lectures as often as possible. She primarily works in acrylics and has recently learned to work in pastels.

The NCAA meets the third Thursday each month (from September through May) at the Harriet Alexander Art Center on Hospital Road at 7 p.m. Visitors and new members are welcome to attend.

An art demonstration is presented each month.

Pat Sewell shares her Santa Claus art with an exhibit of her pieces at Newnan City Hall running throughout December.

Joshua S. Crager has graduated from the Army ROTC (Reserve Officer Training Corps) Leader Development and Assessment Course, also known as "Operation Warrior Forge," at Fort Lewis, Tacoma, Wash.

The 32 days of training provide the best possible professional training and evaluation for all cadets in the aspects of military life, administration and logistical support. Although continued military training and leadership development is included in

the curriculum, the primary focus of the course is to develop and evaluate each cadet's officer potential as a leader by exercising the cadet's intelligence, common sense, ingenuity and physical stamina. The cadet command assesses each cadet's performance and progress in officer traits, qualities and professionalism while attending the course.

Cadets in their junior and senior year of college must complete the leadership development course.

Upon successful completion of the course, the ROTC program, and graduation from college, cadets are commissioned as second lieutenants in the U.S. Army, National Guard, or Reserve.

Crager is the son of Matthew E. and Jana M. Crager Newnan.

NCTC has holiday double header

Christmas show you'll ever see. The show is directed by Dave Dorrell on the Main Stage.

The Santaland Diaries by David Sedaris will be at NCTC on Dec. 1012 and 17-19; Friday at 10:30 p.m., Saturday at 6 and 10:30 p.m., and Sunday at 6 p.m.

Unemployed, a slacker decides to become a Macy’s elf during the holiday crunch. At first, the job is simply humiliating, but once the thousands of visitors start pouring through Santa's workshop, he becomes bitter toward the crowds and the Christmas spirit. He tries to grin and bear it, but occasionally takes out his frustrations on the children and parents.

When yet another Santa enters the workshop, he finds this Santa is different from the others. He actually seems to care about and love the children who come to see him. This startles our hero into an uncharacteristic moment of goodwill, just before his employment runs out.

This one man show stars Jeff Allen and is directed by Tony Daniel.

For more information on the NCTC shows, go to www.newnantheatre.org.

Join the Newnan Community Theatre Company (NCTC) for a Holiday Double Header. NCTC’s seasonal productions are “A Christmas Twist” and “The Santaland Diaries.”

“A Christmas Twist,” by Doug Armstrong, Keith Cooper and Maureen Morley, runs Dec. 9-12 and 16-19. The Thursday, Friday and Saturday shows are at 8 p.m. and Sunday matinees are at 2:30 p.m.

Beetles invading your home?

Winter has arrived. As people pull out their wool sweaters, they may be disappointed to find a few holes in their frosty frocks. A University of Georgia expert says it isn’t moths eating their way through the clothes.

“Carpet beetles are eating the wool, and they are everywhere,” says UGA entomologist Nancy Hinkle. “Carpet beetles are one of the few animals in the world that can digest keratin, the main component of hair.”

Unraveling sweaters Hinkle said the insects take small bites out of woolen sweaters, coats and socks.

Sometimes the garments aren’t affected at all, but often the small bites start the process of unraveling.

“They don’t usually dine on an entire sweater,” she said.

Carpet beetles are common pests in Georgia. Hinkle hasn’t spent a week at UGA without seeing a sample of a carpet beetle submitted through UGA Cooperative Extension.

“One Atlanta couple installed wool carpet throughout their home; and in a few

months, they noticed it was being eaten by carpet beetles, thousands of them,” she said.

The beetles are an eight of an inch long and can be black or have a variety of colors and patterns on their backs. The larvae are very hairy and have tan and white stripes. They are the most likely wool eaters.

“Although it is possible to see the beetles, we most often see larvae brought in as specimens,” Hinkle said. “The eggs are small and hard to spot, and the cocoons are rarely noticed as they blend in with the fabric.”

They can be a food pest as well. Carpet beetles prefer pastas, cereals and nuts. They will also feed on improperly treated taxidermy specimens and unfinished animal skins.

“Good sanitation and vacuuming up shed human and pet hair will reduce populations indoors,” she said.

While it is probably too late to protect sweaters for this winter, Hinkle says to package clean sweaters and other woolen goods in airtight containers when you retire them this spring.

“The beetles prefer dirty sweaters with body oils, sweat stains or food spills on them, so be sure to have them cleaned before packing them away,” she said.

Lady beetles

Another beetle that invades homes in the winter are Asian lady beetles. Commonly called ladybugs, the beetles come inside to stay warm.

They are often found lining windowsills or around doorways.

“They are not dead, but dormant,” Hinkle said. “They maintain a low-level of activity to survive the winter. They are not mating, not eating or drinking.”

Hinkle suggests moving them outdoors by vacuuming them up and releasing them far from the house or sweeping them into a paper bag and storing them in a garage or basement until spring. Once the weather warms up, the beetles will feed on the aphids that

Prepare ye the way of the Lord. Make His paths straight. Every valley shall be filled and every mountain and hill shall be brought low; and the crooked shall be made straight and the rough ways shall be made smooth, and all flesh shall see the salvation of God. Luke 3:4-6

destroy roses and other garden plants.

“Don’t crush them,” Hinkle warns. “They release an orange hemolymph, which is reflexive bleeding. It is a defense mechanism that can stain walls and furniture.”

Keeping beetles out Because of their small size, beetles are difficult to keep out of homes. They crawl and squeeze in through improperly sealed windows and doors.

A tightly sealed house will have fewer beetles. Seal around pipes, wire penetrations, doors and windows.

Remember, adult beetles fly, so they can still find their way inside through open doors.

GOT WARTS? Plantar warts are very painful and unsightly problems that are commonly caused by a virus and often difficult to treat.

Methods of treatment include: salicylic acid, drying agents and even surgery.

Now there is another option that is an excellent method of treatment. The Pulse Dye Laser excludes any cutting. It restricts the blood supply to the wart, therefore completely destroying the wart. The success rates have been 90% with one to four treatments. Most patients are able to return to their normal activity the next day.

The Fisk Jubilee Singers performed Nov. 16 on the LaGrange College campus.

Fisk Singers perform in LaGrange When the Fisk Jubilee Singers took the stage at Callaway Auditorium on Nov. 16, Dr. Toni Anderson felt a strong emotional tie to the group.

Anderson, chair of the LaGrange College music department, recently had a book published about the choir. “‘Tell Them We are Singing for Jesus’: The Original Fisk Jubilee Singers and Christian Reconstruction, 18721878” chronicles the story of a group of musicians who were formed to save their institution, Fisk University in Nashville, after it fell on hard times following the Civil War.

Ga. Aquarium gets two new beluga whales ATLANTA (AP) — The world’s largest aquarium has added two new beluga whales.

The giant stars — named Qinu (KEE-nu) and Grayson — arrived at the Georgia Aquarium last week from Sea World San Antonio. The duo joins the aquarium’s belugas Maris and Beethoven, who are older and larger than the newcomers.

Qinu is a 2-year-old female and weighs more than 600 pounds. Grayson, a 3-year-old male, weighs more than 800 pounds.

One of the aquarium’s belugas, Nico (NEE-co), died suddenly last year of encephalitis while staying at Sea World in Texas. The whales were there temporarily while the downtown Atlanta aquarium renovated their habitat.

The original Jubilee Singers introduced “slave songs” to the world in 1871 when they went on tour to raise funds for their financially strapped university.

They were instrumental in preserving the American musical tradition known today as Negro spirituals.

“They had an incredible journey which began with hardship but ended with great triumph,” Anderson said.

“They were a sensation here in the United States, but even

more so overseas. They toured England and much of Europe and played for Queen Victoria.”

The group raised more than enough money to save their school. In fact, funds from the singers’ 1873 European tour were used to build Jubilee Hall on the campus of Fisk University. The building is a national historic landmark and still is in use today.

The Fisk Jubilee Singers continue to perform and tour. In

1999, they were featured in “Jubilee Singers: Sacrifice and Glory” a PBS award-winning television documentary series, produced by WGBH/Boston.

In 2008, the singers received the National Medal of Arts, the country's highest honor for artists and patrons of the arts.

Most recently, they were nominated for a 2010 Grammy for their collaboration with gospel and blues musician Jonny Lang on the song “I Believe.”

Home-schooled student champions conservation A local 17-year-old home schooler is heading up a conservation project that she hopes will encourage local kids to think twice before tossing certain re-usable products in a garbage can.

“I have chosen to work with a company called Terracycle,” said Scarlett Elrod, to help her earn her “Golden Venturing” award through a program affiliated with the Boy Scouts of America.

“Terracycle is a company whose goal is to ‘upcycle’ garbage,” said Elrod. “In other words, they take certain items that would be considered trash, and make them into new products. For example, Terracycle

uses drink pouches to make backpacks and packages fertilizer in used soda bottles.”

Terracycle takes different types of discarded garbage, such as juice boxes, candy wrappers, chip bags, soda plastic bottles, energy bar wrappers, and various other items and makes those pieces of garbage into new products.

Unlike recycling where energy is required to convert the garbage item into a new item, Terracycling requires no energy, so there is no byproduct produced when a new product is made.

Elrod’s job will be to set up an “upcycling bin” and collect trash that will be sent to

Terracycle and turned into new products.

“I have made a rather large bin that will be set up in a local elementary school lunchroom,” said Elrod. “Terracycle will donate three cents to a charity of my choice for every piece of garbage collected. The proceeds I earn will be given to the elementary school.”

Elrod and her 15-year-old brother, James, are both home schooled, and both participate in a “Venture Crew” established by their parents, Lee and Janet Elrod.

“A Venture Crew can have many different focuses,” said Elrod. Their particular group -Crew 55 -- has a focus on “high

adventure in the outdoors,” she said.

“We are avid backpackers, love canoeing/kayaking, white water rafting, rock climbing, and mountain biking. Pretty much anything that keeps us outside!” said Elrod.

After taking a nine-day course presented by the National Outdoor Leadership School, Elrod became a certified Wilderness First Responder.

Crew 55 also learns skills such as wilderness survival, orienteering, and emergency preparedness, and principles such as Leave No Trace, the responsibility of planning trips and events, teaching abilities,

and good leadership.

“I love any place that is wild and free,” said Elrod. “I love nature and am happiest when I am outside.

“My hero is John Muir. I love his outlook on life and feelings about the world. I believe we should be doing all we can to preserve nature.”

Elrod said she plans on majoring in outdoor education so that she can “one day work for an outfitter as an expedition guide.”

She and her family have lived in Newnan for nearly eight years.

They are partnering with Carol Duffey and the Keep Newnan Beautiful program on

this latest conservation project.

As a Boy Scout may earn merit badges and advance in rank to Eagle Scout, a Venturer can earn the bronze award, the gold award, the silver award, and the ranger award, Elrod explained. The “upcycling” project will take her another step down that road.

Venturing is a Boy Scout program for both boys and girls, ages 14 to their 21st birthday.

“As part of my gold award requirements, I am required to lead a conservation project,” she said. “Our focus area is reusable resources.”

EDUCATION

Literacy program at Counterpane explores language

Children’s author visits Crabapple Elementary Crabapple Elementary School in Peachtree City welcomed award-winning children's author Carole Marsh as she talked about her newest Real Kids, Real Places mysteries. Students hung on every word of "the stories behind the stories," as Marsh shared interesting facts about the well-known places used as the settings of the books. "My passion is turning children into avid readers,” Marsh said. “They become readers when you make stories come alive for them from the earliest age. My most enjoyable days are spent with a room full of children who ask lots of questions and want to learn.” The Carole Marsh Mysteries series won the Learning Magazine Teachers' Choice Award and is popular nationwide with kids, parents, teachers and librarians. In addition to new books in her mystery series, Marsh has released other new titles this fall including The Student’s Civil War series, Mary America: First Girl President of the UnitedStates, and the timely The Gulf Coast Oil Spill: Poor Little Pelican + A KidReports Photo-documentary.

MOVE founder praises Joseph Sams School in Fayetteville Linda Bidabe, founder of MOVE (Mobility Opportunity via Education) International, recently completed her annual visit to The Joseph Sams School (JSS) in Fayetteville and praised the staff for its implementation of the MOVE Program.

“You do an excellent job of finding activities that are dignif ied, fun, and meaningful,” Bidabe told the JSS Staff. “You are giving our students with physical disabilities the opportunity to show us they can learn if we teach them the right way.”

Dave Schreuder, Executive Director of MOVE added, “The Joseph Sams School is ‘leading the way’ in the MOVE Program and serves as a model for other programs to follow.”

JSS is one of 26 model sites in the continental U.S. for MOVE. MOVE is a program designed to improve the quality of life for children with physical disabilities.

Founded upon the premise that movement is the foundation for learning,” MOVE aids a child to develop functional sitting, standing, and walking skills while improving overall health.

Approximately 33% of the students attending JSS are participants in the school’s MOVE program.

“Our teachers ‘park the wheelchairs’ and require their students to walk from class to class with the assistance of devices that place them in upright positions and provide the support needed to walk and stand independently,” said Principal Amy Murray.

“Likewise, if a child is unable to sit in a traditional chair, adaptations are made to the chair to provide the necessary support to sit independently.

“As strength and coordination develop, prompts are systematically reduced in order to achieve mobility goals that are important to the family,” she said. Throughout the school day, children practice motor skills while engaged in educational and leisure activities.

All teaching staff members at JSS are certified Basic MOVE Providers and seven staff are MOVE International Trainers.

The Joseph Sams School, Inc. is an accredited, private, nonprof it organization in Fayetteville, Georgia currently serving 70 families of children who have mild to severe cognitive, physical or diagnosed developmental disabilities.

A small community school in Fayette County is the incubator for an innovative literacy program that is helping thousands of children around the world learn to read and write. And this holiday season, the program is seeking to raise funds to reach even more children through a holiday gift campaign.

The Souns program — which was created at Fayetteville’s Counterpane School — uses large, touchable letters to help learners explore the sounds of the language(s) around them.

The approach has proven effective in teaching early literacy to thousands of children, including those with developmental disabilities.

Souns is being used in more than 50 preschool classrooms and dozens of libraries from Georgia to Illinois to California.

Because it is applicable in multi-lingual environments, Souns has expanded to poor communities in South Africa, where it’s already become a part of the curriculum in 40 schools.

It’s also been used by the International Rescue Committee to help newlyarrived refugee families — particularly children and women — learn how to read as they begin their new lives in Atlanta.

The program is making a difference for thousands around the world, but it needs

resources to expand.

That’s why Counterpane School has launched a new holiday fundraising campaign, “Give the Gift of Literacy,” to support Souns’ work (http://www.souns.org /giving.html).

“Every child wants to read.

Every child wants to write. But in poor communities around the world, they don’t have that opportunity,” said Brenda Erickson, Director of Counterpane School and creator of the Souns program.

“Concerned individuals and businesses can change that by investing in Souns this holiday season.”

Counterpane School is offering alternative gifts this year that support specific Souns initiatives: for example, $125 gives a set of Souns to developmentally-disabled infants and toddlers, while $200 sends Souns to a classroom serving disadvantaged children in South Africa.

Individuals and businesses who donate to this program will not only receive a tax deduction for their generosity, but also a card that’s handcrafted by students at Counterpane School. That’s just one small token of appreciation for helping spread literacy and learning around the world.

Students invited to participate in photo contest Some Coweta County residents are going to win some money for taking Christmas pictures, and Coweta County students could be among them.

The Times-Herald is sponsoring its annual Christmas Photo Contest. Winning photographs will be published in The Times-Herald on Christmas Day. Prizes will be given for winning photos — $100, first; $50, second; $25, third.

Photographers may be of any age, and students have entered and won prizes several times over the years. The 2007 first place winner was Michelle Landrein, who was only 17years-old when she snapped the winning photo.

Contest rules are: 1. The photograph must have been taken by the person submitting it. No copyrighted photographs can be used.

2. If the photograph includes people, it is preferred that small groups — three or less — are in the picture. The people in the photographs must be identified.

In addition to the printed version of a digital picture, the image should either be included on a disk or the original unretouched “jpeg” emailed to winston@newnan.com and marked “Christmas contest.”

Photographs cannot be returned, so be sure to bring a duplicate. No instant-type photos will be accepted.

6. Only one entry will be accepted per household.

7. The first place winner will be asked to serve as a judge for the next year’s contest and will not be eligible to compete in that contest. Last year’s first place winner is not eligible to enter this year’s contest.

Coweta educator Lynn Skinner attended the Delta Kappa Gamma Leadership Conference. From left are Skinner, Jo Davis, Psi State Delta Kappa Gamma president; and Beverly Helms, who led the conference.

Skinner attends DKG conference in Macon Dr. Beverly Helms recently conducted a Leadership Seminar in Macon for Georgia members of Delta Kappa Gamma, an honor society for key women educators.

The Leadership Seminar has been held annually in Georgia for three years. Helms, who currently serves as second vice-president of the Delta

Kappa Gamma International and served for the past two years as the communications chairman for the international organization, presented activities and information to help participants understand themselves and others, avoid leadership blunders, increase the organization's visibility and

improve communications.

He tries to grin and bear it, but occasionally takes out his frustrations on the children and parents. When yet another Santa enters the workshop, he finds this Santa is different from the others. He actually seems to care about and love the children who come to see him. This startles our hero into an uncharacteristic moment of goodwill, just before his employment runs out.

GRATON, Calif. (AP) — As Americans downsize in the aftermath of a colossal real estate bust, at least one tiny corner of the housing market appears to be thriving.

To save money or simplify their lives, a small but growing number of Americans are buying or building homes that could fit inside many people’s living rooms, according to entrepreneurs in the small house industry.

Some put these wheeled homes in their backyards to use as offices, studios or extra bedrooms. Others use them as mobile vacation homes they can park in the woods. But the most intrepid of the tiny house owners live in them full-time, paring down their possessions and often living off the grid.

“It’s very un-American in the sense that living small means consuming less,” said Jay Shafer, 46, co-founder of the Small House Society, sitting on the porch of his wooden cabin in California wine country.

“Living in a small house like this really entails knowing what you need to be happy and getting rid of everything else.”

Shafer, author of “The Small House Book,” built the 89square-foot house himself a decade ago and lived in it fulltime until his son was born last year. Inside a space the size of an ice cream truck, he has a kitchen with gas stove and sink, bathroom with shower, two-seater porch, bedroom loft and a “great room” where he can work and entertain — as long as he doesn’t invite more than a couple guests.

He and his family now live in relatively sprawling 500square foot home next to the tiny one.

Shafer, co-owner of the Tumbleweed Tiny House Company, designs and builds

“You start to peel away the things that are unnecessary.”

– Gregory Johnson

Special Photo

Small houses, similar to the one pictured above, are beginning to find a niche in today’s real estate market. miniature homes with a minimalist style that prizes quality over quantity and makes sure no cubic inch goes to waste.

Most can be hooked up to public utilities. The houses, which pack a range of amenities in spaces smaller than some people’s closets, are sold for $40,000 to $50,000 readymade, but cost half as much if you build it yourself.

Tumbleweed’s business has grown significantly since the housing crisis began, Shafer said. He now sells about 50 blueprints, which cost $400 to $1,000 each, a year, up from 10 five years ago. The eight workshops he teaches around the country each year attract 40 participants on average, he said.

“People’s reasons for living small vary a lot, but there seems to be a common thread of sustainability,” Shafer said.

“A lot of people don’t want to use many more resources or put out more emissions than

they have to.”

Compared to trailers, these little houses are built with higher-quality materials, better insulation and eye-catching design. But they still have wheels that make them portable — and allow owners to get around housing regulations for stationary homes.

Since the housing crisis and recession began, interest in tiny homes has grown dramatically among young people and retiring Baby Boomers, said Kent Griswold, who runs the Tiny House Blog, which attracts 5,000 to 7,000 visitors a day.

“In the last couple years, the idea’s really taken off,” Griswold said. “There’s been a huge interest in people downsizing and there are a lot of young people who don’t want to be tied down with a huge mortgage and want to build their own space.”

Gregory Johnson, who cofounded the Small House Society with Shafer, said the online community now has about 1,800 subscribers, up from about 300 five years ago.

Most of them live in their small houses full-time and swap tips on living simple and small.

Johnson, 46, who works as a computer consultant at the University of Iowa, said dozens of companies specializing small houses have popped up around the country over

the past few years.

Before he got married, Johnson lived for six years in a small cabin he built himself and he wrote a book called “Put Your Life on a Diet: Lessons Learned from Living in 140 Square Feet.”

“You start to peel away the things that are unnecessary,” said Johnson, who now lives in a studio apartment with his wife. “It helps you define your priorities with regard to your material things.”

Northern California’s Sonoma County has become a mini-mecca for the tiny house industry, with an assortment of new businesses launching over the last few years.

Stephen Marshall, 63, worked as a building contractor for three decades before the real estate market tanked three years ago. That’s when he jumped into the tiny house business, starting Petalumabased Little House On The Trailer.

His company builds and sells small houses that can serve as stand-alone homes equipped with bathrooms and kitchens, and others he calls “A Room of One’s Own” that can be used as a home office or extra bedroom. Many of his customers are looking for extra space to accommodate an aging parent or adult children who are returning home, he said.

He said his small houses, which sell for $20,000 to $50,000, are much cheaper than building a home addition and can be resold when the extra space is no longer needed. His company has sold 16 houses this year and aims to sell 20 next year.

“The business is growing as the public becomes aware of this possibility,” Marshall said.

“A lot of families are moving in with one another. A lot of young people can’t afford to move out. There’s just a lot of economic pressure to find an alternative way to provide for people’s housing needs."

8C — The Times-Herald — Sunday, December 5, 2010

Cargill Newnan “Where Great People Come to Meat” In October, Health Services sponsored our Annual Breast Cancer Awareness Day with events on both dayshift and nightshift – we had a total of 168 participants! There were two educational breast models available for the nurse to demonstrate proper Breast Self Exam technique and identification of suspicious lumps; informational pamphlets on Breast Cancer facts, warning signs, mammograms, annual screening, etc., in both Spanish and English; and employees were offered pink-frosted sugar cookies for attending. Cargill also purchased door prizes and a drawing was held after the event. Door prizes included various breast cancer awareness items.

On Veterans Day 2010 we recognized and showed appreciation to our veterans with a lunch, limo ride to the Veterans Day festivities in Newnan, and a souvenir shirt. Pictured are some of our honored veterans.

In November, Health Services sponsored our Annual Diabetes Awareness Day with 89 participants! There were informational brochures concerning diabetes that were provided in both English and Spanish, as well as an educational bulletin board in the main hallway. Our nurse partnered with Dr. Bidemi Leyimu’s office (Piedmont Physicians Sharpsburg), to provide blood glucose and cholesterol fingersticks free of charge to employees. Staff from Cardiovascular Consultants of Georgia (a Piedmont Hospital affiliate) was also on-hand to provide BP screenings free of charge to employees. Dr. Leyimu’s office provided complimentary tote bags and Cargill provided healthy snacks consisting of apples and graham crackers for participants. A drawing for door prizes, compliments of Cargill, was held after the event.

Night Shift enjoyed a Thanksgiving Pot Luck.

SAFETY FIRST Cargill Newnan hosted its fourth annual Environmental Health and Safety Fair on October 8, 2010. The “SWAT” team (Safe Workplace Awareness Team) planned and produced the entire event. “We chose vendors to participate who would be of value in promoting safety to employees for work and home,” states Cargill EHS director, Carlene Smith-Martin. Other activities included prizes emphasizing safety awareness and a free steak lunch. The theme of the event was, “All work, however urgent, must be done safely.”

One of Cargill Newnan’s primary safety goals this year is “Zero Injuries is Possible.” We will continue to look for ways to engage our employees in Environmental, Health, and Safety activities that will not

Cargill employee works with the Coweta County Fire Department during fire extinguisher training. only benefit them at work but also at home. This year, Cargill invested in several EHS programs, such as Ergonomics Physical Demand Description (PDD) and OHSAS 18001, to strengthen existing programs and resources. The new programs are progressing and we are already seeing positive results. Cargill’s safety culture is unique because our workforce takes full responsibility for safety. This means that each department has a safety representative who is the voice of

that department. All safety issues and concerns are brought to the safety representative who has the power to address the concerns at their level or follow through with the corrective actions at the supervisor level. Safety representatives conduct periodic inspections in their areas to insure all controls are in place.

Cargill is a community leader in safety and is committed to sending every employee home as safely as they arrived to work for the day.

Personal Bio: Rafael is a Trainer at the Newnan facility and has been employed with Cargill since 1999. His primary focus is training newly hired employees and cross training established employees. He is also a translator for team meetings, safety training, and numerous other events.

Rafael – known to the Cargill family as Rafy – is currently in the Pork Department but has also served in Beef, Grind, and on Night Shift. He was born in Ensenada Baja California, Mexico, and lived there until he was 16 years old. When he visited California’s Disney Land, he loved it so much that he wanted to stay in the U.S., where he has lived for almost 24 years. Rafael became a U.S. citizen in 2004 and resides in the Carroll County area with his wife, Maria Elena, their children, Rafael, Caleb, Monica and Alejandra. He has other family members in the Carrollton area as well. Rafael’s most recent success was earning his GED at West Central, Carrollton, Georgia. He enjoys volleyball, fishing, and time with family. He says enthusiastically, “Cargill has been a big part of my life. Through the help of supervisors and employees, I was able to accomplish my citizenship and my GED, as well as my career.”

Cargill and United Way have a long, proud history.

Cargill’s 2010 campaign is a Diamond Anniversary celebration – 60 years of employee and retiree giving to our communities through United Way. Cargill’s legacy of United Way support helps fulfill our commitment to invest in and engage with com-

munities where we live and work. Last year Cargill Newnan and its employees donated over $140,000 to United Way. At Cargill, we dream that every child would be nourished to reach their full potential. Cargill associates want to better lives by sharing their time, talents and financial gifts.
