hether you’re trying to control your weight or embrace a healthier lifestyle, the food choices you make have to be enjoyable. And deliciously healthy recipes are the key. “Recipes that use elements from New Nordic Cuisine are a great way to enjoy healthy eating,” said registered dietician and author Kate Geagan, MS, RD. “This cuisine is naturally rich in some of the healthiest, purest foods in the world. And, it can be easily adapted to U.S. tastes and lifestyles.” A plate filled with seafood, especially salmon, is a hallmark of New Nordic Cuisine. “I love how this cuisine is inspired by the sea,” Geagan said. “The ocean provides some of nature’s most perfect proteins that deliver whole body benefits.” For example, a serving of salmon is an excellent source of high quality protein and omega 3 fats. It also contains key nutrients, including selenium (thyroid and cell health), iodine (thyroid and hormonal health), vitamin D (bone and immune health) and vitamin B12 (red blood cell and neurological health). Salmon is available fresh year-round, so it’s easy to incorporate into your everyday meal planning.

New Nordic Cuisine Nordic cultures have long enjoyed a reputation as some of the healthiest people in the world. New Nordic Cuisine is filled with healthy, hearty foods anyone can enjoy. Delicious elements of this cuisine include: n Seafood,

such as Norwegian Salmon

n Whole

grains such as rye bread, barley and oats

n Cabbage

and other cruciferous vegetables

Top 10 Tips for Personal and Property Safety on Campus Necessary precautions to safeguard you and your possessions ARA CONTENT

There’s No Place Like Home for Pets Family Features

For cat parents, feline companions are a major part of the family. While outdoor cats are susceptible to wandering far from home, even indoor cats may find the outdoors alluring and can quickly sneak right past their owners via an open door or window. In fact, according to the National Council on Pet Population Study and Policy, 2.5 to 3.5 million lost cats end up in shelters annually. A lost cat can be very stressful, but there are simple cat care tips to help ensure your cat returns home safely if lost:

Play the Protective Pet Parent Take these steps to ensure your cat can be properly identified if away from home. Tag your cat. Make sure your cat wears an I.D. tag containing your contact information, such as your address and the best telephone number at which to reach you. For information on how you can receive a free personalized I.D. tag to keep your kitty safe, visit www. PetTagOffer.com. Buy a comfortable collar. Many cats don’t like wearing a collar, but if you purchase a comfortable, flexible

collar made specifically for cats, they’ll feel less restricted and will be more likely to acclimate.

What to Do if Your Cat Gets Lost Don’t delay. The longer the cat is gone, the further away it may be. Statistics show that owners don’t start looking for their cat for several days. If your cat has been taken to a crowded shelter or municipal pound, they may only be able to hold pets for a few days. Narrow the search. When cats find themselves in unfamiliar places, they usually become scared and hide. If you’re looking outside, check underneath nearby cars or other nice hiding spots, like underneath barbecues, stairs and under the porch. You may have to crawl around the area with a flashlight if it’s hiding in the darkness. If you have any brush around your house, areas of thick plants and tall grass, check those areas very carefully. The cat is more likely to be in there than in open areas like lawns. Call your cat. Tempt your cat out of hiding or back home by calling it and offering it treats. If your cat is an outdoor cat or if it’s possible it got loose outside, place some of its food in a dish

outside of your door. Make the sounds that usually get it to come to you, such as shaking treats in a can or whistling; however, be aware that some cats in a state of distress may not come to your calls. This will be most useful in the late hours once there are no sounds outside. Set a humane trap. If your cat is indoor-only, it is very likely hiding in fear close to where she ran away and will not make a sound (even) when you call her. Many animal shelters will rent or lend traps that are easy to use; some rural or outdoorsy stores even sell them. Don’t forget to put some cat food in the trap, and even sprinkle liberally with treats and catnip. This is your best bet for finding your indoor-only cat. Call your local shelters and veterinarians. If someone in your neighborhood finds your cat, they may take your pet directly to the nearest shelter or veterinarian. Call ahead to give local pet care providers a heads-up that your cat is missing and consider giving them a flyer with photos and your contact information so they can alert you immediately. In addition, you can hang up flyers throughout the community.

Students will be living independently, meeting new friends and enjoying all that the college experience has to offer. However, young adults on their own — many for the first time — can be unfamiliar with personal safety risks, often sharing too much information and exposing themselves to a variety of security threats, including theft. “College is a wonderful rite of passage full of important learning experiences both academic and social,” says Rebecca Smith, vice president of marketing. “For students tot get the most out of their time on campus and in the classroom, they must be aware of various safety risks they face and take the necessary precautions to safeguard not only their possessions, but themselves, as well.” Here’s a list of 10 tips that college students should keep in mind as they move to campus (parents: slip this into your students’ luggage.): Stay in touch. Share your class schedule with family and friends and arrange regular calls while walking to and from class. This way, your loved ones know you’re going to class and that you’re safe. Secure the perimeter. You wouldn’t just leave the front door to your house open, would you? It works the same way on campus. Never let someone into your residence hall you don’t know and never prop doors open. Lock it up. Whether you’re simply headed to the shower or down the hall to a friend’s room, lock your door every time you leave to keep all of your valuables safe when you’re away. Consider purchasing individual locking devices for expensive electronics like your laptop. With one laptop stolen every 53 seconds, this visual theft deterrent can help protect your investment. Be safe online. In today’s digital age it’s too easy to share personal information online. Avoid updates on any websites that share your location or personal information and make sure your settings are private. Keep track of keys. With one to open

your mailbox, another for your residence hall and yet another for your room, it’s tough to keep track of all of your keys, but also very important. If you lose a set, report it to your residence hall representative immediately to ensure your safety and the security of the building. Lock and check your car. Be sure to always lock your car and never leave any valuables in plain view. Remember to also check on it from time to time. Map it out. Take time to familiarize yourself with the campus. You should know where emergency phones are located, the best-lit paths to take and the safest ways to get around during both the day and night. Be aware and observant of your surroundings. Check out the services your campus offers such as evening and late night walking escorts and other safe transportation systems. Protect your stuff. Whether studying in the library or eating in the union, it’s tempting to run to the bathroom or grab a quick snack while leaving your laptop, identification, smartphone or keys on the table. Consider investing in a portable mini-safe that can help keep valuables safe when unattended. Know your numbers. Keep all important emergency phone numbers stored in your phone and at least one other place in case your phone is also stolen. This includes campus security and the telephone numbers to your bank and credit card company. Should you have your wallet stolen or be put in a risky situation, you will have all the contact information you need. Also, sign up for your school alert system to be notified of emergency situations on campus via text, email or phone. Phone a friend. Regardless of time of day, when heading out across campus, find a friend who is also headed your way. Safety in numbers should never be discounted.

Real Estate: Tips on buying and financing your first home ARA CONTENT

Whether you’re ready now or will be down the road, buying your first home takes preparation. Save aggressively for your down payment. Many firsttime homebuyers seek a mortgage insured by the Federal Housing Association, which insures loans made by lenders for qualifying homebuyers. The program allows buyers to put down as little as 3.5 percent of a home’s cost. However, if the home you want to buy doesn’t qualify for the program, you’ll need to obtain a conventional loan, which will require you to put down anywhere from 10 to 20 percent of the purchase price as a down payment to qualify for a mortgage.

Get your finances in order. Lenders are now taking a closer look at debt-to-income ratio (percentage of monthly income that goes toward debt payments) and housing-to-income ratio (percentage of monthly income that goes toward housing payments). In general, responsible lenders follow the 28/36 percent rule — no more than 28 percent of your monthly income should go to housing costs, and no more than 36 percent of your monthly income should go to debt (including auto loans, credit cards and other loans). Clean up your credit report. Your credit score is critical to a mortgage application. The higher your score, the more likely you can qualify for a mortgage and obtain favorable terms (a

lower down payment and lower monthly payments). By law, you can request one free credit report per year through one of the three major credit bureaus, Experian, Equifax and TransUnion. You should request your report to review your score and correct any mistakes well before you apply for a mortgage.

times forget about the expenses that go into setting up a household. You should consider putting away an additional $5,000 to $10,000 for expenses such as a lawnmower, furniture and basic decorating, and for potential repairs involving your furnace, air conditioning, water heater and other appliances.

Don’t apply for credit. Keep in mind that a mortgage lender is determining your ability to pay back a mortgage up until the minute you sign the mortgage papers. In general, it’s not a good idea to take on more debt such as an auto loan or a new credit card within a year of buying a home.

Shop around. It’s important to shop around to get the best home possible for your dollar. And likewise, it’s critical to shop around for a mortgage too. Get at least three to four proposals from different mortgage lenders before deciding on the best offer.

First-year expenses. Firsttime homebuyers can be so focused on trying to put together a down payment that they some-

small and need some repairs, they’re also an opportunity to enter the real estate market and build sweat equity. To spot a starter home, look for one that needs some love and attention in a neighborhood with houses that are well maintained or being remodeled. Home inspection. Even if

Mortgage interest is a good deal when stacked up against other types of interest that don't do much for you – such as high credit card interest rates or low rates on savings accounts and CDs. Mortgage rates are low right now, meaning you can pay less over the life of a loan than at practically any other time in recent history. Plus, it's the only kind of interest that you can deduct from your taxes.

Updated Daily

Prices are still relatively low and inventory is high. It's been a buyer's market for a long time, but that's going to change. The question is: when will the market start to improve in your area, taking home prices with it? You'll have to do some legwork and astute research to determine when is the best time for you to buy.

Homeownership can help make good credit even better. If your credit is in poor shape, you'll want to monitor it before seeking a mortgage. But if you have good credit, live within your means, and consistently make good financial decisions, a mortgage can be the kind of "good debt" that helps your overall financial health. Making regular payments on a mortgage shows potential lenders that you're a less risky candidate for a home loan.

A still murky economy and uncertain real estate market may have you wondering if buying a home is a good idea. Whether you're thinking about buying, or already have and just need some affirmation, you may find it comforting to know there are still plenty of good reasons for financially stable people to buy a house. Here are a few:

Homeownership comes with plenty of financial perks. One is an income tax credit for property taxes you pay on your home. For detailed information on tax breaks check out IRS.gov. Buying a home also affords you the opportunity to halt your housing costs. Rent will always go up from year to year, but if you have a fixed-rate mortgage (avoid adjustable rates) your biggest annual expense — housing costs — will be locked-in.

Five reasons why buying a home is still a good idea

A mortgage can function like an automatic savings plan. By now, you've read the news reports about how little we Americans save these days. Well, every year you pay on your fixed-rate mortgage, is a year of building equity, and equity is like money in the bank. When it's time to sell — whether you've stayed in your home seven years or the full 30 year term — you'll have created equity and should be able to sell your house for more than you owe.

you’ve come across the deal of a lifetime, never buy a house without a home inspection. An inspection will alert you to potential problems that may not be obvious to a person buying his or her first home. It also may be useful if you need to sue the seller for concealing problems with the home.

Smoked Salmon and Pearl Barley Salad Poached Salmon with Stewed Vegetables and Cucumber Salad Serves: 4 3/4 pound Salmon fillet, boneless, skin removed 4 1/2 cups water 1 tablespoon salt 1 lemon Stewed Vegetables 1 1/4 cups water 4 potatoes, cut into cubes 3 carrots, cut into cubes 1 medium celeriac root, cut into cubes 2 onions, cut into cubes 1 medium size leek, cut into cubes 2 tablespoons fresh parsley or chives, chopped Salt and pepper, to taste 3/4 cup milk Cornstarch, to thicken sauce Cucumber Salad 1 pound cucumber 1 tablespoon sugar 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar 2 tablespoons olive oil Cut salmon into 4 even pieces and rinse well under cold water. In large pot, bring water to boil, add salt and then salmon. Immediately remove from heat and let stand to poach for 4 to 6 minutes, depending on thickness of fillet. Be careful not to overcook — the flavors and texture of salmon is at its best when served opaque throughout. Remove from pot with slotted spoon and let water drain off on towel before arranging salmon on plate. For vegetables, sprinkle water with salt and bring to boil in a large pot. When water is boiling, add potatoes, carrots, celeriac root and onions. Lower heat and simmer until soft. Add leeks and fresh herbs and simmer for 2 more minutes. Drain vegetables carefully in colander and make sure you keep cooking water. In same pot, bring milk and cooking water to boil; season with salt and pepper. Dilute cornstarch in small amount of cold water and add to boiling liquid until you have thick sauce. Add vegetables to milk mixture to reheat before serving. For cucumber salad, peel cucumber, split lengthwise and remove seeds with small spoon. Cut at an angle in thick slices and mix with sugar, vinegar and oil. Serve salmon with stewed vegetables and cucumber salad on the side. Serving Suggestion: A few drops of lemon juice on the salmon is a must.

Serves: 4 3/4 pound smoked Salmon 1/2 cup pearl barley, soaked in cold water overnight 4 1/2 cups water, divided 1/2 cup olive oil 2 tablespoons wine vinegar 3 tablespoons fresh orange juice Salt and pepper, to taste 1 cup broccoli florets 1 carrot, cut into small cubes or strips 1/2 onion, chopped 1 red bell pepper, cut into small cubes or strips 1 cucumber, cut into large cubes 2 tablespoons chives, chopped 1 tablespoon parsley, chopped Dice salmon into 1/2 x 1/2-inch cubes (or if already sliced, cut in strips) and set aside in refrigerator. Drain water from barley. Simmer on low heat in 1 cup water with sprinkle of salt for approximately 30 minutes or until soft. Drain barley and transfer to bowl. Immediately add oil, vinegar, orange juice, salt and pepper, mix well and set aside to cool. Bring remaining 3 1/2 cups water to boil and add plenty of salt. When water boils vigorously, add broccoli and carrots and let cook for 30 seconds. Remove vegetables immediately with slotted spoon, plunge into ice water, and then take out of water to drain. When barley is cold, gently mix all ingredients together and serve with whole-grain bread or sprinkling of bread croutons on top. Vegetables and herbs can be varied according to your own preferences.

Salmon in Aluminum Foil

Serves: 4 4 sheets aluminum foil (12 x 18 inches, slightly larger than yellow legal pad) 2 tablespoons canola oil 2 medium carrots, cut into thin strips 1 small leek, cut into thin slices 1 onion, cut into thin slices 1 head iceberg lettuce, cut into 8 wedges 1 1/2 pounds Salmon fillet, boneless, skin removed, cut into 8 portions 1 tablespoon water for each package 4 tablespoons crème fraîche or sour cream Salt and pepper, to taste Preheat oven to 350°F. Place aluminum foil on table with shortest side facing you. All food will be placed in middle of bottom half of foil. Top half of foil will eventually be folded over food. Brush center of bottom half with oil. Mix all vegetables and spread 1/4 of them over oil. Arrange 2 portions of salmon with vegetables. Add water. Season with salt and pepper. Repeat with remaining three sheets of foil. To seal pouches, fold top section of foil over. Fold and squeeze edges together to form well-sealed pouch. Place packages on large baking sheet and place in preheated oven. When packages enlarge, they’re ready to serve — usually after about 6 to 8 minutes. To serve, carefully place each package on plate and open at table with pair of scissors or knife. Spoon crème fraîche or sour cream onto fish and sprinkle with lemon juice. Fresh herbs can be added before or after cooking. Eat straight from package.

Cholesterol Content of Some Favorite Foods Individuals are often told to monitor their cholesterol consumption. This can be difficult if people don’t know how much cholesterol their daily diet contains. Cholesterol is only found in foods that come from animals. This means that fruits, vegetables and grains will not have any cholesterol, unless they are mixed with animal products, such as in baked or processed goods. Generally the guideline is to take in 300 or fewer milligrams per day of dietary cholesterol. To help people make smarter choices about foods and to learn the cholesterol content of many of their favorite choices, here’s a list of the cholesterol content of common menu items. Whole milk (1 cup): 33 mg Low-fat milk (1 cup): 10 mg Non-fat milk (1 cup): 4 mg Whole yogurt (1 cup): 29 mg Non-fat yogurt (1 cup): 10 mg Butter (1 tsp): 11 mg Margarine (1 tsp): 0 mg Egg (1): 212 mg Salmon (3.5 oz): 63 mg Crab (3.5 oz): 52 mg Shrimp (3.5 oz): 194 mg Lean beef (3.5 oz): 78 mg Sirloin (3.5 oz): 89 mg Veal (3.5 oz): 135 mg Pork tenderloin (3.5 oz): 79 mg Pork chop (3.5 oz): 85 mg Ham (3.5 oz): 53 mg Chicken, no skin (3.5 oz): 85 mg (Courtesy of the UCSF Medical Center)

STRICTLY SPEAKING The legal doctrine of “strict liability” applies when the actions or products associated with a person (or other entity) are so inherently dangerous that the person is responsible for the damage caused regardless of any “fault” on his or her part. Those who suffer injury as a result are usually permitted to recover damages without having to prove that the defendant did anything wrong because the defendant is under strict liability. This concept can be illustrated by the situation in which a consumer is injured by a defective product. When products have defective designs or manufacturing flaws, or are dangerous without providing consumers with adequate warning or instructions, the law holds manufacturers and sellers liable for harm caused by the products.

How to help kids choose an extracurricular activity Today’s kids are busier than ever before. Commitments in the classroom coupled with a full slate of extracurricular activities have ensured that many of today’s school-aged children don’t have a minute to spare. While it’s important for kids to embrace extracurricular activities, parents know it’s not always easy helping kids find the right activity that allows them to grow outside the classroom while still focusing on their responsibilities inside it. In addition, kids’ interests tend to change at the drop of a hat, so something they want to do today might bore them come tomorrow. To help kids choose and manage their extracurricular activities, consider the following tips. Emphasize that schoolwork must come first. Kids get excited about extracurricular activities, especially ones involving sports where they get to spend time playing with their friends. But parents should emphasize that school still comes first and that, if schoolwork starts to suffer, participation in extracurricular activities will be put on hold until kids get their studies back on track.

various levels of commitment. Varsity sport participation, for example, typically requires daily commitment and often requires kids to participate on weekends or even the sport’s “off-season,” which may include summer vacation. However, volunteering with a local charity likely won’t require such a large commitment and such charities often allow volunteers to choose their own schedules. Parents and their children should consider the level of commitment an extracurricular requires and choose the activity they’re most comfortable with. Don’t overlook the social benefits of extracurricular activities. When helping kids choose an extracurricular activity, it’s important to leave the ultimate decision in their hands. After all, kids won’t get much of the experience if they’re reluctant to participate. However, parents should not overlook the social benefits of extracurricular

Limited Edition Hardcover Book The Newnan Times-Herald spent over a year highlighting the stories of surviving local World World II veterans in a project called “Our Greatest Generation.” This award-winning series presented the stories of over 120 local men and women and was a favorite of readers young and old.

Don’t forget the fun factor. Extracurricular activities are not just supposed to instill character, they’re also supposed to be fun. If kids aren’t having fun or showing any interest in a given extracurricular activity, then help them find another one. Kids need time to have fun away from school just like adults need time for fun away from the office. Weigh how enjoyable a given activity figures to be for your youngster before signing them up.

Solution to crossword on page 2.

Go over coursework at the start of the school year. Examine a child’s course load before choosing an extracurricular activity. It’s important to do this each year, as coursework gets more difficult as children get older. Just because a child could handle a couple of afterschool activities a week when he or she was in fifth grade does not mean such a schedule will be as manageable when the same child reaches high school. Go over coursework and requirements as early as possible, preferably before the school year starts, so you and your child can get a grip on what can and can’t be handled with regards to extracurricular activities. Get a grasp of the commitment required. Extracurricular activities require

activities. Consider those benefits when helping kids choose activities, especially if they’re likely to choose solitary activities like learning a musical instrument. It’s good to encourage such interests, but also try to encourage a balance between solitary activities and ones that encourage socialization with peers, such as a sports team, debate club or volunteering with other students at a local charity.

Help Pets Cope with Stress and Anxiety ately when you get home.

StatePoint

When pets behave badly, it’s hard to remember how lovable they can be. Get a handle on barking, begging, jumping, scratching, digging and marking with a good attitude and the right tools.

Speak Your Pet’s Language Behavior training can change certain behaviors, but it’s not effective for everything and takes a great deal of time, money, and patience. On the other extreme, veterinarians may recommend sedatives as a last resort when other solutions have failed. New alternatives, however, can reduce or eliminate problems safely and quickly. “In scientific studies, pheromones mimicking those produced by mother cats and dogs have been shown to modify both stress-induced behaviors and physiology,” says Dr. John McGlone, a professor and animal behavior research scientist. “Pheromones are naturally produced chemicals animals use to communicate with each other. Pheromone therapy is helping pets overcome difficult behavior problems.” Consider outfitting active pets with a pheromone collar. They last 30 days and go where pets go, so they are in constant contact with calming pheromones. Calm-

Keep Pets Happy An active pet is a calmer pet. Give furry friends plenty of exercise, so they don’t use the kitchen as a dog run. Walks are a great start. Play games like fetch to give cats and dogs mental stimulation and release pent up anxiety. If they’ve had their fun, they’ll be far less likely to act out. The same way babies cry to express themselves; a pet’s behavior may simply be a message. While pain and discomfort can cause naughtiness such as inappropriate marking — and a vet visit can confirm if that’s the case — much bad behavior is stressrelated. When you aren’t home, ensure pets’ needs are met. Provide access to water, toys, a window to watch the world from, and a clean litter box. Let dogs out immedi-

ing sprays may be useful for eliminating certain behaviors. For example, if pets bark excessively at the doorbell, applying spray will get the pet’s attention and send the message to stop barking, so you can greet guests troublefree. When a pet expresses fear or stress from thunderstorms or loud noises, use a calming spray or diffuser in an enclosed space to prevent him from wreaking havoc throughout the house. Go to School Not everyone has the benefit of

personal visits from the “Dog Whisperer.” Obedience training however can benefit you both, while socializing your dog. Get training underway as young as possible to break bad habits before they get out of hand. Consider using pheromone-based products in conjunction for faster, more lasting results. Parents of problem pets: don’t give up. Make bad behavior a thing of the past with a few key changes and the application of science.

147th Birthday

September 2012 — The Newnan Times-Herald/MyConnection — 1

Times-Herald marks milestones through years 1865 — On Sept. 9, 1865, The Newnan Herald’s first issue is published by lawyers J.S. Bigby and J.C. Wootten as a sideline. The four-page weekly cost $3 per year in advance and came out on Saturday. It was the first post-Civil War newspaper started in Georgia. Soon after, Bigby — who became active in local politics — sold his interest to James A. Welch. 1886-1887 — After the deaths of Welch and Wootten, The Herald is edited by A.B. Cates, a Tennessee native and Confederate veteran. In 1886 or 1887 it is merged with the rival Coweta Advertiser, which had been published by First Methodist pastor W.W. Wadsworth. 1887 — James E. Brown, who was editor of the Advertiser in 1886 — after almost 10 years at the Henry County Weekly, which he founded — becomes editor of the merged Herald and Advertiser. 1912 — Brown sells the Herald and Advertiser to Rhodes McPhail, but the arrangement does not last and Brown returns with Ellis M. Carpenter as assistant. 1915 — The Herald and Advertiser absorbs another rival, the Newnan News, and the paper again becomes known as the Newnan Herald. 1928 — Oren William Passavant, who had been editor of the Herald and Advertiser in 1911-1912 in Brown’s absence, purchases the paper on Brown’s retirement. Passavant has been one of several business managers during Brown’s tenure, as were Edgar T. Whatley and Thomas S. Parrott. 1936 — Passavant sells to Hanson G. Ford. During four years operating the Herald, Ford’s wife, Dorothy Gardner Ford, a descendant of the Cole family, takes an active role in the newspaper. — Also in 1936, Evan W. Thomasson and his son James J. Thomasson start the rival Newnan Times. 1940 — Ford sells the Newnan Herald to George W. MacNabb and Victor D. Armstrong. Armstrong soon leaves to serve in the armed forces, and MacNabb continues as editor and business manager. WWII — The war years are difficult for everyone, including newspapers. A small staff of no more than five put out the Newnan Herald, according to memories from Sarah Parrott. Newsprint and ink are rationed. 1944 — The Newnan Herald achieves renown — receiving several Georgia Press Association awards, including first place for best editorial and best news coverage in 1944. 1946 — The Newnan Herald is acquired in October 1946 by the Thomassons, who publish the Herald and Times separately for another year. 1947 — On Dec. 24, 1947, the first edition of the combined newspaper, The Newnan TimesHerald, is published. — Also in 1947, TimesHerald owners E.W. and James Thomasson with Dan Manget Sr. start Newnan’s first radio station, WCOH (Welcome City of Homes). WCOH signs on the air Dec. 6, 1947. 1964 — The TimesHerald is one of the first newspapers in Georgia to switch to offset printing to allow more pictures and greater use of color. 1965 — The TimesHerald celebrates the paper’s 100th birthday with publication of the

Technological changes expand paper’s presence By W. Winston Skinner winston@newnan.com During the past year, The Newnan Times-Herald has made changes that have taken the newspaper into the community — and expanded the newspaper’s presence on the Internet. Compared to many businesses, much of newspaper work has always taken place outside the walls of the office. Advertising representatives spend much of their time calling on area businesses, and news reporters and photographers plan their calendars around events, meetings and interviews that take place somewhere ot her t h a n 16 Jefferson St. W h e n i t c a m e t i m e to replace hardware and software at The Newnan Times-Herald a few months ago, most news staff got MacBookAir laptops to replace their old desktop computers. At the same time, the newspaper contracted to use SkyQue, an Internet-based system created by Mediaspan for storing and processing news stories and images. W hile readers see minimal difference in the finished product, news archives are no long on disks in the TimesHerald building but stored via Internet several states away. The “cloud” computing model — and the use of laptops — means reporters can do much of their work outside the newspaper office. S t a f f w r ite r S a r a h Fay Campbell is an unabashed fan of the laptop. “I can’t imagine doing my job without a laptop. No, that’s not true. I can imagine it — and that’s why I would hate to do it,” she said. Campbell has been using a laptop to take notes at meetings and events for almost 10 years. “It revolutionized things for me,” she said. “I never was very good at taking notes with pen and paper while people were talk-

ing. I could never get everything they said — not even close,” Campbell said. A long meeting could result i n a rep or ter ’s note b o ok with writing on every page. Looking for a specific quote or fact could be time-consuming and frustrating. “When my notes are typed out in front of me, searching them is so easy — and months or years later, I can call up the notes from a particular meeting and see exactly what was said,” she explained. Campbell said she can use quotes “with pinpoint accuracy” and has learned how to use her laptop to take notes while looking “an interview subject in the eye.” Campbell and other reporters f ind the laptop a godsend when there is an event

to be covered late at night or out of town. Usually Wi-Fi Internet service is available at a restaurant or other location, meaning the reporter can access SkyQue and write stories while miles away from Newnan. “I can write the story wherever I am,” Campbell said. Joey Howard, The Newnan Ti mes-Hera ld’s cla ssi f ied manager, also oversees the newspaper’s growing online presence. The newspaper’s Facebook page has quickly grown from about 800 “likes” to more than 1,100, and there are 575 followers on the TimesHerald’s Twitter feed.

Howard has been personally selecting items for Facebook since late July. Prior to that time, the page had an automated feed, which funneled only “straight hard news” links, he said. Now Howard tries to link to “a well-rounded blend” of stories selected specif ically to appeal to Facebook enthusiasts. He finds the Facebook readers are often interested in quirky stories that might not make the front page. A story about two churches that began collaborating because of a scheduling snafu with a summer food program attracted

several “likes” and a comment on Facebook. “This is a great opportunity to get a different audience,” Howard said. Facebook and Twitter provide a way to connect with someone who “is not a print subscriber.” Twitter messages are limited to 140 characters. The short, pithy format lends itself well to the 24-hour news cycle, Howard said. One of the first tweets every morning is a weather forecast. “Anytime we have any kind of weather issue out there, it goes on Twitter,” Howard said. The newspaper’s Twitter a nd Facebook pa ges “a re geared to send people to the website,” he explained. In addition to Facebook a nd Twitter links, times-herald. com offers easy links to: n coupons.com. This site offers a portal to coupons for groceries and other items. n MyConnection.

The magazine, published six times a year, is distributed through the newspaper. n an upgraded photo gallery. Not only can photographs taken by the staff be purchased, but newspaper pages are now available in pdf format, as well. Ellen Corker, the news editor, noted subscribers get the paper delivered to the door as well as full access to the digital edition and a searchable database of stories. “Readers get a whole package,” she said. She noted readers who are out of town can easily keep up with the Coweta news using their computers.

Newspaper’s origin dates back to end of Civil War County in 1854. Before com-

By W. WINSTON SKINNER ing to Newnan, he founded the winston@newnan.com Henry County Weekly in 1877. C owe t a C o u n t y ’s l o c a l daily newspaper was formed through the combining of two older newspapers. The Newnan Herald was a Coweta institution for 70 years before The Newnan Times was established. The papers were competitors for a decade before they were combined. The Newnan Herald was founded by two attorneys, J.S. Bigby and J.C. Wootten, and the first issue came off the presses on Sept. 9, 1865 — exactly five months after the Civil Wa r ended. T he four-page weekly — the first paper started in Georgia after the Civil War — cost $3 per year and was published on Saturday. Soon after the first Herald hit the streets, Bigby — who became active in local politics — sold his interest in the paper to James A. Welch. Following t he de at h s of Welc h a nd Wootten, the Herald was edited by A.B. Cates, a native of Tennessee and a Confederate veteran. Cates ran the Herald until late 1886 or early 1887 when the Herald consolidated with the Coweta Advertiser, which had been published by W.W. Wad s wor t h , a Me t ho d i st minister. A fter t he merger of t he Herald and Wadsworth’s journal, the newspaper became known as The Herald and Advertiser. James E. Brown, who later became known as Judge Brown after his appointment as a U.S. Commissioner, became editor. He served for four decades and was known for his insightful editorials. Brown was born in Marion

“Coweta County Chronicles” related that Brown served as editor there until 1886 when he came to Newnan as editor of the Advertiser, coming to the Herald and Advertiser after the merger. Brown married a Newnan wom a n , K ate Milner, in 1883. In 1912, Brown sold the Herald and Advertiser to Rhodes McPhail “after h av i n g g u id ed its fortunes for nearly 2 5 ye a r s ,” a c c o r d i n g to Times-Herald “Chronicles.” president and The sale did not owner Billy last, however.

Passavant also served as editor in 1911 and 1912 in Brown’s absence. Passavant purchased the paper on Brown’s retirement in 1928, serving as editor until 1936. In 1933 the paper was cited for honorable mention in editorial competition. Passavant, who was born in Uniontown, Pa., in 1882, came to Newnan to live in 1906 and married Edgar Means North. The news staff in the early 1930s consisted of Passavant and a young woman named Roberta Lyndon, later Roberta Mayes of Atlanta. “I worked from 1934 until 1 9 3 6 — w h e n I c a m e to The Newnan Herald was a Coweta institution for 70 years before

Atlanta,” Mayes recalled in a 1988 interview. “I was a little of everything. Mr. Passavant didn’t have a large staff,” Mayes said. She remembered Passavant as “a marvelous person to work for.” In 1936, Passavant sold the paper to Ha nson G. Ford. During the four years that Ford operated the Herald, his wife, Dorothy Gardner Ford, a descendant of Newnan’s Cole

family, took an active role in the newspaper’s operations. I n 1 9 4 0 , Fo rd s old t h e paper to George W. MacNabb a nd Victor D. A rmstrong. Armstrong soon left to serve i n t he a r med forces , a nd MacNabb continued as editor and business manager until 1946. Miss Sarah Parrott worked with MacNabb at the Herald. “It was during the war years,” she said in 1988, describing the late MacNabb as “an intelligent young man.” She recalled, “It was difficult during the war. It was

hard to get paper to begin with.” Ink was also rationed. A small staff of no more than five put out the newspaper. “We did everything ourselves,” Parrott remembered. Wiley Long was among the employees during those years. The paper achieved renown from others in the newspaper field under MacNabb’s leadership. The Herald received several awards from the Georgia Press Association, including first place for best editorial and best news coverage in 1944. The Newnan Herald had

been born in the aftermath of one war and entered a new era as World War II came to a close. In October 1946, t he Hera ld wa s acqu i red from MacNabb by Evan W. T hom a s son a nd Ja me s J.

paper publisher. “Throughout the western part of the State of Georgia the name of Thomasson has come to be prominently identified with newspaper publishing,” noted “The History of Georgia ,” published by t h e A m e r ic a n H i s to r ic a l Association in 1938. T h e f i r s t i s s ue of T h e New n a n Ti mes wa s pub lished March 12, 1936. Emeline Thomasson died later that year. In 1938, James Thomasson married Newnan native Ida Askew. Ida Thomasson was

involved in the newspaper for years, working as an editor and writing a popular weekly column, “Personally Speaking.” James Thomasson died in 1979, and Ida Thomasson died in 1981. Their son, William W. “Billy” Thomasson, is president and owner of The TimesHerald today. The Newnan Times and The Newnan Herald were published separately for about a year after the Thomassons bought the Herald. The first issue of The Newnan TimesHerald was published on Dec. 24, 1947.

Birthday

Home Since 1966

The brick building at 16 Jefferson St. in downtown Newnan that houses The Newnan Times-Herald was constructed as a store in 1914 by Newnan businessman Thomas G. Farmer.

Newspaper building got start as farm supply store By W. WINSON SKINNER winston@newnan.com The Newnan Times-Herald has been located at 16 Jefferson St. i n dow ntow n New na n since 1966. The brick building was constructed as a store in 1914 by Newnan businessman Thomas G. Farmer. The store sold meat and all sorts of farm merchandise in the early days — cow feed, salt blocks, shoes, overalls, kerosene, anvils. Hay was stored in part of the building at one point. The upper floor of the building was used for a variety of offices through the mid-1950s. The local Jehovah’s Witnesses congregation met there. Servicemen returning from World War II took classes upstairs — taught by Henry

Kitchens and Sarah Robertson. When Newnan High School — then located nearby on Temple Avenue — became crowded, classes for eighth graders were held on the upper floor of the building. Elizabeth Dean was among the teachers, and students included Jane Bass, June Rutledge Duncan and Joel Hyde. Bobby McDonald ran Economy Auto Store, which later became Otasco, in the portion of the building that is now the advertising and composition area of the newspaper. Lindsey Barron and h is brot her-i n-law, Wi l lis Edwards, bought the Farmer building in 1955. Barron, who later went into the real estate business, operated an electrical and plumbing contracting business at 16 Jefferson St. Appliances were sold, and fur-

niture was added with upper floor space being used as furniture storerooms. James J. Thomasson and E .W. Thomasson, publishers of The Newnan TimesHerald, purchased the building on June 7, 1966. Open house was held on Oct. 15 of that year. Prior to the move to 16 Jefferson St., the newspaper offices had been diagonally across Jefferson Street. R enovat ion s h ave b e en made several times since the old store building became the newspaper’s headquarters. For many years, the pressroom was located in the building, but it was moved when the newspaper began daily publication in 1997. The printing is now done at a warehouse in Newnan South Industrial Park.
