Effort expands to ‘get well’ cards
‘Sully Run’
to benefit
injured soldier
BY VICTOR MILLER

Judy McNelley understands the
importance of looking after the
soldiers “standing in the gap” for
their fellow Americans around the
world: her son Josh is a Marine
who served two tours in Iraq.
So McNelley continues with her
Gifts From Home program that
collects items for packages for soldiers deployed in Afghanistan and
Iraq. That program has sent untold
numbers of packages to soldiers in
both countries in recent years.
But the Rocky Face resident
now has another project that is
close to her heart, collecting “get
well” cards for wounded soldiers.
Currently she is collecting cards
for four soldiers from Charlie
Troop, the Georgia Army National
Guard unit based in Dalton that is
deployed to Afghanistan. Jeffrey
Boyles, Andrew Sullens and
Branden Williams are at the rehabilitation hospital at Fort Gordon
and Anthony Landowski is at
Walter Reed Army Medical Center,
McNelley said.

Titus said Lester Laminack, a children’s

on Tuesday, was plenty entertaining. The institute is a two-day training session for area edu-

Friends recalled long-time Whitfield
County resident Earl Ball on Tuesday as a man
dedicated to the community.
Ball, 89, passed away Tuesday morning in
Denver, Colo.
“He served on the board of Family
Connection for several years and served as
chairman for a couple of years,” said Ann
Kuzniak,
coordinator
of
Family
Connection/Families and Children First. “He
was active in Head Start. And he also was on
the board of the Family Crisis Center.”
Kuzniak described Ball as “very caring.”
“He served on these boards to try to better
the community,” she said. “He was always prepared. He came to work. He wasn’t just on the
roll.”
Ball was active for many years with Score,
an organization that allows retired business
people to mentor and advise entrepreneurs.
“That’s a very vital organization, and he
singlehandedly kept Score alive in Dalton and
Whitfield County for at least seven or eight
years,” said Dalton Mayor David Pennington.
Ball was also one of the handful of people
who organized the Republican Party in
Whitfield County back in the 1960s.
“He used to say they could hold a
Republican meeting in a phone book here in
town,” said Whitfield County Board of
Commissioners chairman Mike Babb. “They
just stuck to their principles of small government and fiscal conservatism until the rest of
the state caught up with them. “
Babb said Ball was pleased to see the
Republican Party grow to dominate politics
both locally and at the state level.
“He said it felt a lot better to meet in a big
room than a telephone booth,” Babb said.
Just a few weeks ago, a strong downpour flooded parts of Dug Gap Road and the surrounding
area. Dalton Utilities president Don Cope said the
water rushed into the sewer system so fast it flooded the sewer system and caused a sewer overflow.
City officials say that wasn’t a unique event.
“We know we’ve got some serious stormwater
issues, especially on the west side of town, and
even more especially west of the interstate,” said
Mayor David Pennington.
A study funded by the Georgia Environmental
Protection Division (EPD) has highlighted some of
those problems and recommended that the city of
Dalton join with other governments in Whitfield
and Murray counties to form a regional stormwater
utility to keep those problems from spreading
across the region.
The study, from CH2MHill, will not be finished
for another 15 to 30 days, but consultants presented their findings to local officials last week.
“We’ve got significant legacy issues from not
managing it (stormwater) properly in the past, and
the costs of addressing those legacy issues is going
to run into several millions of dollars,” said Cope.
Dalton Utilities now manages stormwater and
erosion control for the city of Dalton.
Cope said two areas in particular were identified
by the study, both on the western side of the city:
the Tar Creek drainage basin and the McLellan
Creek drainage basin.
“Nobody intentionally did anything wrong,”
Cope said. “The McLellan Creek issue is caused by

Study: Stormwater troubles
➣ Continued from page 1A
the construction of the interstate and all the development
along the interstate and all
the development up the hill
on the west side of the interstate. Everything is channeled down into a large culvert under the interstate, and
when you have a large storm,
everything is pushed down
the mountain, coming under
the interstate and it hits that
creek, runs out over the
banks of the creek. It erodes
the stream bank and eats up
people’s property.”
Further, it carries dirt,
waste and oil from the streets
into the creek.
Cope said Dalton Utilities
is looking at several ideas for
building a detention pond on
the west side of the interstate
to hold the water during a
storm and allow it to flow
into the creek in a more manageable manner.
He said solving the flooding problems along Tar
Creek will probably involve
fixing the dam on Threadmill
Lake, which was breached
around 30 years ago.
Pennington said finding
the money to fix those problems is going to be more difficult than identifying the
problems.
The study also recommends that local governments form a regional
stormwater utility to build
and maintain detention
ponds and other infrastructure needed to control
stormwater runoff.
“We’ve done a study that
says it’s feasible to do a
regional stormwater utility,”
Cope said. “Now that we
have that data, and we know
it’s feasible, each of those
jurisdictions has its own set
of concerns and issues. We
are getting representatives
from each entity together,
and we are going to work
through this, probably over
the next year. Our end goal is
to meet everybody’s needs.”

One issue that will have to
be addressed is how the
regional utility will be funded. Cope said that some sort
of charge based on the
amount of impervious surface, such as paving and
buildings, on a property may
be one approach.
How the utility will be
managed will be another
issue that will have to be
addressed. Cope said the
EPD already requires Dalton
Utilities to report on
stormwater as part of its discharge permits and has been
pressuring it to take responsibility for stormwater.
But several local officials
said that if they can’t agree
on how to regulate stormwater, the state will step in and
regulate it.
“Actually, I’m afraid that
even if we do agree to regulate stormwater, the state will
step in and tell us how to do
it,” said Whitfield County

She also suggests drawings from children, and notes
that groups such as churches

“I’ve had Tunnel Hill

said, adding that good places
to gather multiple signatures
are social gatherings such as
birthday parties.
“I carry a bag with me,”
McNelley noted. “If somebody says they’ll send a

Although the cards can be

and monetary donations to cover postage.

letter reads. “Our nation
would not have the service of
soldiers without your support and patriotism. As an
Army supporter, you make a

McNelley was nominated
for the salute by a friend she
made on Facebook, the
social networking site, Spc.
Thomas Sieja from the
Illinois Army National
Guard. He is serving in
Afghanistan.
“I think it says more than
what I deserve,” she said
modestly.
McNelley uses Facebook
to keep up with the soldiers
from Charlie Troop and others she has met through the
Internet, such as Sieja.
“I kind of know where
everybody is in different
parts in Afghanistan and
when I hear something happening in one area I stay up
until I figure out if it’s my
guys or not,” she said. “I’ve
got about 12 out of his
(Sieja’s) group that I talk
with, and he’s on at 3 o’clock
in the morning. We chat a lot
and I’m always throwing in
my little bits of humor and I
think that’s helped him deal
with some of his stress. He
sees me as just the little
cheerleader of everybody

McNelley said she told
her son “this was somebody
that I didn’t know, that I had

never will, and he said to me,
‘Well, it’s the most complimentary thing, coming from
somebody that sees you that

Major problems
corrected at
former Vericol site
FROM STAFF REPORTS
One building has been
reopened at the former
Vericol site at 1338 Coronet
Drive, said Dalton Fire
Marshal Jeff Dugger.
Officials shut down the
site last month after uncovering “numerous violations” of building and fire
codes at the site, which
includes five buildings. The
site is currently home to an
artificial fingernail manufacturer
owned
by
Chemence
Inc.,
an
Alpharetta
company,
according to officials.
“They’ve corrected the
major problems we were
worried about,” Dugger
said. “They continue to
work through the other
problems.
Hopefully,
before long we will be able
to release some other portions of the complex.”
Dugger said they are still
working on identifying and
removing chemicals that
are stored on the property.
“But they have done
every single thing we’ve
asked them to do so far,” he
said. “They’ve been very
good to work with.”
Robert Wilson, an attorney for Chemence, said the
company is working with
local authorities.
“They are manufacturing
false fingernails. There are
no chemicals being used
and no chemical waste
being produced,” he said.

Event
co-coordinator
Ashley Coker said Sullens’
wife, Jill, has resigned from
her job at a Dahlonega grocery store and moved to
Augusta where her husband
is recovering at an active duty
rehab unit at the Veterans
Administration (VA) Medical
Center at Fort Gordon.
Sullens has undergone “multiple surgeries to repair
severe injuries” to his pelvis
and legs, said Coker.
“The Army only pays her
so much per diem (while he
is on active duty status), but
she feels like she needs to be
with Andrew while he’s
recovering,” Coker said.
“This is not just about raising
money, though. We want to
show our support for Andrew
since he serves in the
National Guard and also as a
deputy.”
Sullens is expected to be
at the event, but will probably
not get to ride.
“Andrew has two Harleys
himself, but he’s not able to
put weight on his pelvis yet,”
Coker said. The Sullens do
not have any children.
In a June 21 post at andysullens.blogspot.com,
Sullens wrote, “Wow, I still
can’t get used to a bike run in
my honor and all the kindness and inspirational words
people have been giving.” Jill
Sullens wrote in the latest
post on Sunday, “(Andrew)
has actually been staying
pretty busy with rehab (and)
is doing really well.”

Canadian health system not a model
To the editor:
Unlike Michael Moore’s “Sicko,” the truth about health
care is far different from what he portrays.
Young Canadians love his work as it makes Canada and
other countries look good in comparison with the U.S.
Democrats seem to have bought into this misconception.
I spend a couple of months each year in the Ottawa,
Ontario, area. Fortunately, it is only 55 miles from the first
class Claxton-Hepburn Medical Center in Ogdensburg, N.Y.
Ogdensburg has less than half the population of Dalton. My
instructions to my friends are to get me there if I have a medical problem. Isn’t that strange to wish to leave a city of over
40 times the size to go to better health care.
This facility is in Ogdensburg, for the most part, due to
Canadian money. According to the Ottawa Citizen it’s there
because Canadians don’t want to wait three months to a year
to see a specialist or have a procedure done. Many of the doctors are Canadians. It is far more remunerative to work in the
states.
I have a friend who, after finally getting an appointment,
waited almost nine months for a total hip replacement. Now,
a year later he needs another hip operation. He is currently
waiting to get an appointment with a specialist to get approval
and schedule an operation six to 12 months in the future.
Another friend was told that she needed arthroscopic surgery on both knees. Six or seven months later, her surgery
was done but it was a failure.
Two years later she still waits in pain. It took six months
to see another orthopedic surgeon but his schedule for knee
replacement is so far out that they wouldn’t even schedule it.
She started over, looking for an appointment. For months her
life revolved around waiting to get a call for an appointment.
Now, she is not a candidate because she no longer has sufficient range of motion in her knees. She is currently being
treated by a therapist in an attempt to restore range of motion.
Controlling the cost of medical care is easy. Just don’t
perform the care!
My friend saw Hamilton Medical Center when I was a
patient and readily admits to what a wonderful facility is is,
how good the doctors and nurses are and that it is readily
available. When here, she joins the Bradley Wellness Center.
She knows it is as good or better and less expensive than
facilities in Ottawa.
She is amazed at the fact that an MRI can be done here in
a week or less and a CT scan is almost immediate.
There are about the same number of MRI units, for public
use, in Ottawa as here. MRI units in Ontario are backed up for
six months or more. Meanwhile, private MRI units are being
installed around Ottawa for people who can pay and
can’t/don’t wish to wait.
Ontario doctors should look at Dalton with envy. On the
other hand, I am told that the government keeps the number
of doctors small. If your family doctor retires, good luck in
finding one.
In short, we have a fantastic medical system. Most just
don’t realize it. We have great doctors and a first class medical center for a town this size.
We are also fortunate that the doctors here generally take
Medicare patients. In some towns, it is difficult to find a general practitioner who does because the government controls
level of payment. In short, if you have government insurance,
your doctor is doing you a favor in accepting you as a patient.
Many Canadians are very health conscious. They walk up
to eight miles to work and leave the car at home without
thinking about it. No extremely low temperature nor ice and
snow deters them. Fitness is a big part of how the Canadians
have good health statistics.
Also, their health system is a great incentive to stay well.
We do not need a system like Canada’s.
We do need for everyone to assume personal responsibility because the individual is the only one who has a vested
interest in his/her health and well being.

WORDS OF WISDOM
Bible verse: “Do not merely listen to the word, and
so deceive yourselves. Do what it says.”
James 1:22
Thought for today: “The love we give away is the
only love we keep.”
Elbert Hubbard
American author (1856-1915)
Prof gets it right
“The democracy will
cease to exist when you
take away from those who
are willing to work and give
to those who would not.”
— Thomas Jefferson
I was told a legendary
story about a college economics professor and his
attempt to educate his Age of
Obama students back to a
sense of reality. Cocktail
party stories are not always
true, especially after three
drinks, but this one is a good
lesson.
On the first day of class,
the professor questioned his
students to gauge their temperament and their knowledge of economics. He was
astounded to discover that
every student in the class
thought Obama’s move
toward socialism would
work. They understood that
no one would be poor and the
rich would be made to take
care of the less fortunate.
Government was going to be
the great equalizer.
Shocked and concerned
for the future of this country
and what the public education system had taught —
and not taught — these
young people, the professor
devised a plan. Never before
had he failed a single student, but he felt compelled to
educate this generation.
On the second day of
class, he repeated their view
of Obama’s socialist utopia
and laid out his plan for that
semester’s grades. It would
be an experiment on the
“Obama Plan” and its longterm viability.
The class would take tests
just as in
o t h e r
classes,
but everyo n e ’ s
g r a d e
would be
that of the
class average. There
would be
Ron
no
A’s
because
Hart
that would
be wrong
and would advantage only a
few. The class was excited at
the prospect, anticipating an
easy semester with minimal
work or study required.
The first test was taken a
week later; the class average
was a B. Students who had
studied hard began to get
upset and voiced their concern. The three A students
had second thoughts and
transferred to another economics class. The students
who did not study much were
pleased with the B.
The mid-term test rolled
around, and the students who
had not studied much for the
first test prepared even less
for this one. With the three A
students gone, the middle-ofthe-pack students slacked
off, reasoning that they
would not have much impact
on the average grade. They
decided just to coast and
accept the collective grade.
The class averaged a D.
The grumbles began, but
now it was too late to drop
the class.
By the time the next test
came, the students felt no
compelling reason to study
and “carry” the others in the
class. The class made a collective F on the test. Group
scores spiraled downward
while blame, disputes, namecalling and accusations of
sloth escalated.
Ultimately, this tenured
professor failed all of the students, since their collective
effort warranted an F. Yet he
taught them — and all of us
— an invaluable lesson, one
often forgotten at our peril in
this Age of Obama.
When there are incentive,
competition and reward for
those who work hard and do
well, all of society benefits.
When there are not, as in the
old Soviet Union or any
communist country where a
statist government says it
will provide for all, it does
not work and never will. Do
not expect this professor to
get the Nobel Prize in
Economics, which is only
given to liberal ideas
advanced in some convoluted
way that somehow results in
children in third-world countries getting food and an
iPod. This professor’s lesson
is not the narrative that the
famously liberal academic
profession wants to teach.
It is only when faced with
the reality of the situation
does one really understand a
lesson such as this one. And
if we do not learn it, as
Thomas Jefferson said, our
democracy will be lost forever.

TODAY IN HISTORY
Today is Wednesday,
July 22, the 203rd day of
2009. There are 162 days
left in the year.
Highlight in History:
On July 22, 1934, bank
robber John Dillinger was
shot to death by federal
agents outside Chicago’s
Biograph Theater, where
he had just watched the
Clark
Gable
movie
“Manhattan Melodrama.”
On this date:
In 1587, an English
colony fated to vanish
under mysterious circumstances was established on
Roanoke Island off North
Carolina.
In 1933, American aviator Wiley Post completed
the first solo flight around
the world as he returned to
New York’s Floyd Bennett
Field after traveling for
seven days, 18 3/4 hours.
In 1937, the Senate
rejected President Franklin
D. Roosevelt’s proposal to
add more justices to the
Supreme Court.
In 1942, the Nazis
began transporting Jews
from the Warsaw Ghetto to
the Treblinka concentration
camp.
In 1943, American
forces led by General
George S. Patton captured
Palermo, Sicily, during
World War II.
In 1975, the House of
Representatives joined the
Senate in voting to restore
the American citizenship of
Confederate Gen. Robert
E. Lee.
Ten years ago: Family
members watched mournfully from the deck of a
Navy destroyer as the ashes
of John F. Kennedy Jr., his
wife, Carolyn, and her sister, Lauren Bessette, were
cast into the sea off
Martha’s Vineyard, consigned to the depths where
they’d died.
Five years ago: The
September 11th commission issued a report saying
America’s leaders failed to
grasp the gravity of terrorist threats before the devastating attacks of 9/11, but
stopping short of blaming
President George W. Bush
and former President Bill
Clinton.
One year ago: Tropical
Storm Dolly spun into a
hurricane as it headed
toward the U.S.-Mexico
border.
Today’s
Birthdays:
Former Senate Majority
Leader Bob Dole, R-Kan.,
is 86. Actor-comedian
Orson Bean is 81. Fashion
designer Oscar de la Renta
is 77. Actress Louise
Fletcher is 75. Actor
Terence Stamp is 71. Game
show host Alex Trebek is
69.
It couldn’t happen here?
The Bellevue City, Ohio, School
Board has suspended superintendent
William “Bud” Martin and assistant
to the superintendent Darrell Hykes
after receiving numerous complaints
of sexual harassment. Hykes is
accused of, among other things, presenting an ad for a wet T-shirt contest
to office staff and suggesting they
attend “as a team” and also talking
about, um, his relationships with various women. Martin is accused of
referring to a female principal as his
“hottie honey” and making at least
one other remark that probably
shouldn’t be repeated in a family
newspaper.
■■■
Officials at California’s Elk Grove
Unified School District called the parents of students in one elementary
school class asking them to destroy a
DVD their teacher sent home at the
end of the year. The DVD contained
scenes of several activities the class
had done over the years. It also contained about six seconds of the
teacher and another person on a sofa
doing something that adults do when
they love each other very much.
■■■
Ken Olson was driving to work
when he noticed a man lying just outside the emergency room doors of
Canada’s Saskatoon City Hospital. He
parked his car, ran into the ER and
told staff there was an unconscious
man outside. They immediately ran
outside. No, just kidding. They called
an ambulance. “When something happens to an individual on our grounds,
it is our policy that
we do call 911,” said
Patti Simonar, director of emergency
and critical care
services for the
Saskatoon Health
Region.
■■■
Former Norcross
information technology director Brad
Charles
Williams says he
Oliver
didn’t download the
24,466 images of
nude and semi-nude
women found on a computer in his
office. And he says he certainly wasn’t the one who organized them into
directories. Despite his pleas, City
Council members upheld his firing.
■■■
Back in the 1990s, the U.S. Army
introduced new “green” ammunition
that reduces the use of lead. Some
environmentalists say the use of lead
ammunition is bad for the environment. The new ammunition, however,
uses tungsten, and a new study sponsored by the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency indicates that it
may be a carcinogen. You’d think that
with all the technology we have they
could invent a bullet that isn’t bad for
you.
■■■
Matt Smith, a writer for San
Francisco’s SF Weekly, found that the
California Employment Training
Panel was providing subsidized job
training to 100 employees of
Cybernet Entertainment in order to
make them more competitive with
foreign and out-of-state workers. And
what does Cybernet produce? Highquality fetish videos. After Smith’s
story ran, the state cut off funding to
the company.
■■■
Forty years ago, a raid against New
York City’s Stonewall Inn led to violent protests against police brutality
against gay men. Fort Worth, Texas,
police chose the anniversary of that
raid to conduct their own raid on a
local gay bar that left a patron hospitalized with a blood clot on his brain.
The police officers, along with agents
from the Texas Alcoholic Beverage
Commission, entered the Rainbow
Lounge looking for violations of alcoholic beverage laws. They say some
of the patrons made “sexually explicit movements” towards them.
Witnesses say that didn’t happen. But
what did happen is that Chad Gibson
suffered a fractured skull and at least
two other people had bones broken as
they were arrested.
■■■
Ronnie Hutton spent two nights in
a British jail after police accused him
of revving his car in a racist manner.
They say he was trying to intimidate a
Libyan couple standing nearby. He
denies that claim. A court ultimately
convicted him of breach of the peace.

Reading: Institute
were directed at a specific student in his audience,
Laminack half-acted out his
tales. If he wrote about a
squeaky
porch
swing,
Laminack imitated the sound
of rusty hinges. If his story
included a scene in which he
was gobbling down food,
Laminack made mock crunching sounds.
He said his book
“Saturdays and Teacakes” was
initially inspired when he
walked into a grocery store
and smelled fresh-baked cookies. Cookies reminded him of
his grandmother’s home, he
said.
One memory led to another, and before Laminack knew
it, he was writing about all the
intricate details of his grandmother’s kitchen — from her
red vinyl chairs patched with
duct tape to the way she insisted on eating tomato sandwiches on hamburger buns.
(Regular sandwich bread
wouldn’t be thick enough,
Laminack recalled.)
“I want (children) to
believe that their stories are
worth telling,” Laminack said
after the session, which was
held at Dalton Middle School.
“Ordinary events are worthy
of writing.”
Rhonda Hayes, curriculum
director for the school system,
said the No. 1 takeaway from
Laminack’s several speaking
sessions was his message
about teaching philosophy. It’s
more important to teach children why a task is important
than it is to show them how to
accomplish it, she said. The
second most important lesson
was emphasizing how teachers should use their professional knowledge guided by
their hearts and design work
based on student interest, she
said.
Sometimes that involves
games and thinking outside
the box, several educators
said.
BethAnn Browning, a literacy coordinator for the school
system, told a group of teachers gathered for a session on
how to use games in teaching
that it’s important to let children get excited. Students
need to remain calm enough to
maintain an environment conducive to learning, but it sometimes becomes too easy for
educators to automatically
“shush” anyone who is speaking, she cautioned.
“It’s OK for there to be
conversation,” Browning said.
“It’s OK for people to be
excited and getting into what’s
going on.”
Hayes said about 100 people are participating in the
institute, which continues
today.

BRIEFS
Palin implicated in
ethics investigation
ANCHORAGE, Alaska —
An independent investigator
has found evidence that Gov.
Sarah Palin may have violated
ethics laws by accepting private donations to pay her
legal debts, in the latest legal
distraction for the former vice
presidential candidate as she
prepares to leave office this
week. The report obtained by
The Associated Press says
Palin is securing unwarranted
benefits and receiving
improper gifts through the
Alaska Fund Trust, set up by
supporters. An investigator for
the state Personnel Board says
in his report that there is probable cause to believe Palin
used or attempted to use her
official position for personal
gain because she authorized
the creation of the trust as the
“official” legal defense fund.
The practical effect of the ruling on Palin will be more
financial than anything else.
Obama wins fight
to cut F-22 jets
WASHINGTON — The
Senate voted to terminate
further production of the Air
Force’s topline F-22 fighter
jets Tuesday, giving
President Barack Obama a
major spending victory and
siding with the Pentagon’s
desire for smaller jets better
suited to 21st century wars.
F-22 supporters complained
the action would be a blow
to long-term national
defense — and cost thousands of jobs in the middle
of the recession. The 58-40
vote to cut the money from a
$680 billion defense bill was
a hard-fought victory for
Obama, who had threatened
to veto defense spending
legislation if it included
funds for more F-22s.
Evans wins bid to survey Westside Park
BY JAMIE JONES
[email protected]
Joseph R. Evans and
Associates wasn’t the lowest
qualified bidder for surveying
work for the new Westside
park, but the Whitfield County
Board of Commissioners
picked the company over 12
other bidders.
Commissioners voted 2-1
on Monday to award the bid to
the Dalton-based company.
Commissioners
Harold
Brooker and Greg Jones voted
in favor of Joseph R. Evans
and Associates, while Randy
Waskul
voted
against.
Commissioner Mike Cowan
did not attend the meeting and
chairman Mike Babb only
votes to break ties.
Joseph R. Evans and
Associates — owner Joe Evans
is the elected county surveyor
— will be paid an hourly rate
of $75 for a registered land surveyor and $100 for a two-man
staking crew. The company
will not charge for mileage.
Norcross-based Moreland
Altobelli would have charged
an average eight-hour rate of
$1,166 while Joseph R. Evans
and Associates, the second
lowest qualified bidder, will
bill the county $1,400. County
staff determined Moreland
Altobelli was the lowest qualified bidder.
Jones said he voted for
Joseph R. Evans and
Associates because the company has already done preliminary surveying work at
Westside park. The price difference is negligible because
crews don’t use a registered
land surveyor each day, he
said.
But citing a tight county
budget, Waskul said he would
rather have awarded the bid to
the lowest qualified bidder.
The county uses guidelines
that give “preferential treatment” to local bidders that are
within roughly 5 percent of the
lowest qualified bid, Waskul
said.
“I’m trying to do everything
I can to keep costs down,
which includes getting the
most economical services for
our community,” Waskul said.
“Moreland Altobelli has been
doing a lot of work for us. We
know they do quality work. Joe
Evans does quality work. As
I’ve researched the regulations,
the county surveyor is not
required to do county surveying. He is there to do work for
the courts.”
Earlier this month commissioners tabled the bid vote and
asked for a comparison of travel costs from Moreland
Altobelli and two local surveying companies. Moreland
Altobelli would have charged
$86.52 for mileage each day.

Expectations for
Obama slip
WASHINGTON — That
was fast. The hope and optimism that washed over the
country in the opening months
of Barack Obama’s presidency are giving way to harsh
realities. An Associated PressGfK Poll shows that a majority of Americans are back to
thinking that the country is
headed in the wrong direction
after a fleeting period in
which more thought it was on
the right track. Obama still has
a solid 55 percent approval
rating — better than Bill
Clinton and about even with
George W. Bush six months
into their presidencies — but
there are growing doubts
about whether he can succeed
at some of the biggest items
on his to-do list.
Moreland Altobelli is one of
six approved surveying firms
for the transportation special
purpose local option sales tax
(SPLOST) projects. The county is paying the firm to coordinate many of those projects.
Brooker said he felt more
comfortable using a local company since crews can be on site
in a matter of minutes compared to Moreland Altobelli’s
drive from Gainesville, where
crews are based.
“He’s local and we need to
stay with some local people,”
Brooker said.
The county broke ground
for the park earlier this year. It
is expected to cost $1.2 million. Plans include four softball/baseball
fields,
a
soccer/football field, a playground area, picnic facilities
and a walking path. The complex will also have a freestanding concession stand. The park
is on Landfill Road, across
from the Westside landfill.
In other business, commissioners asked the Public Works
Department to finish paving all
roads owned by the county in
the next 18 months. There are
currently 3.2 miles of unpaved
county roads. Brooker asked
that all roads be paved by the
end of the year, but commissioners felt that the glut of road
work from the transportation
SPLOST projects will keep

Divide over health
care on display
WASHINGTON —
House Democrats put their
divisions on display over the
details and timing of health
care legislation Tuesday
despite fresh attempts by
President Barack Obama to
hasten a compromise on the
issue that looms increasingly
as a major test of his clout.
With a self-imposed deadline
for action in jeopardy, the
Democratic leadership juggled complaints from conservatives demanding additional cost savings, first-term
lawmakers upset with proposed tax increases and
objections from members of
the rank-and-file opposed to
allowing the government to
sell insurance in competition
with private industry.
Speaker Nancy Pelosi, DCalif., vowed weeks ago that
the House would vote by the
end of July on legislation to
meet two goals established
by Obama months ago. The
president wants legislation to
extend health coverage to the
tens of millions who now
lack it, at the same time it
restrains the growth in the
cost of health care far into
the future.
Dr. Babalakin is another example
of why Hamilton is a regional leader
in health care.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL
Dalton’s Arnold gets call to Vandy HOF
BY MARTY KIRKLAND
[email protected]
Dalton native Jim Arnold’s football career has been finished for
more than a decade, but the success
he enjoyed has no doubt made
reflecting on his playing days a
pleasant exercise.
And Arnold isn’t the only one
who appreciates what he accomplished on the field.
The former Dalton High standout who went on to earn multiple
honors during his days punting for
Vanderbilt University and in the
NFL will be a member of the second class to enter Vanderbilt’s athletic Hall of Fame. Arnold’s name
was among nine announced at a
press conference on the Vanderbilt
campus on Tuesday, and he was
there to hear it.
The day also brought a little
relief to Arnold, who’d been holding in the big news for weeks.
“I found out about a month ago,
but they wanted to have a press conference, so they asked us to keep it
quiet,” said Arnold, whose four
years at Dalton High in the late
1970s included appearances in three
state championship games. “But I
didn’t know until today who my
classmates were, so that was nice.”
Arnold said he missed the initial
call of Vanderbilt vice chancellor

David Williams but, hearing who it
was on the message, returned the
call quickly. The news was welcome, but surprising, Arnold said.
“I guess it just took a little bit of
time for it to sink in,” said the 48year-old Arnold, who lives in the
Nashville area and works in the
golf retail industry. “I was a little
bit taken aback by it. We’re only the
second class they’ve done. I think
to a degree, it still is sinking in.”
Last year’s inaugural class
included 12 former Vanderbilt
standouts. On the weekend of Sept.
4-5, when the Commodores host
Western Carolina in their season
opener, Arnold will be inducted
along with Charles Davis (basketball), Julie Ditty (tennis), Charles
Hawkins (baseball and football),
Ming Hsu Robinson (swimming),
Herb Rich (football), Wendy
Scholtens Wood (basketball), Roy
Skinner (basketball) and Brandt
Snedeker (golf).
“You look at the resumes for
some of the people going in there,
just from what they did with the
particular sport they were involved
with at Vanderbilt, and it’s extremely humbling,” Arnold said. “It
makes me very proud and it makes
me look back and say, I guess, the
hard work and determination were
a little special.”
There is little doubt that Arnold
carved out a memorable career at
Vanderbilt, where he became the
first Commodore kicking specialist
to be named an All-American — he
in fact made six All-America teams
during his career in Nashville —
was all-Southeastern Conference
for four years and, as a senior,
helped lead the team to an 8-3
record and an appearance in the
1982 Hall of Fame Bowl. It would
be the Commodores’ last postseason trip until this past season, when
they ended the long drought by
beating Boston College in the
Music City Bowl.
Arnold played through a special
time in the SEC. His days crisscrossed with the end of Alabama
coach Bear Bryant’s career and the
time when Georgia’s Herschel
Walker was running through
opposing defenses.
But a steady turnaround at

TURNBERRY, Scotland
nly when it looked easy
did Stewart Cink face his
toughest challenge. With
one hole remaining in the British
Open playoff, Cink split the middle of the 18th fairway and had a
four-shot lead. His opponent was
in the weeds short of the green in
two. Not even Jean Van de Velde
could blow this.
Cink struggled to contain a
smile as he stood next to caddie
Frank Williams, and who could
blame him? In his dozen years on
the PGA Tour, he had five victories and played on four Ryder
Cup teams, yet had done nothing
to otherwise distinguish himself.
That’s what made the final,
meaningless hole so vitally
important.
This wasn’t just any opponent
he was beating. It was Tom
Watson. And if the world was
watching, no one in the world was
rooting for Cink except for his
immediate family. Even then, an
exit poll might have been in order.
Cink wore a lime green hat. It
might as well have been black.
“It’s mixed feelings, because
I’ve watched him with such
admiration all week,” Cink said
later.
Walking the fine line between
celebration and condolences,
Cink struck his best pose of the
championship.
Standing behind the 18th
green as the Open champion,
Cink began clapping his hands to

AUTO RACING: NASCAR
Mayfield’s second test negative
BY JENNA FRYER
CHARLOTTE, N.C. — An
independent drug test on Jeremy
Mayfield was negative for methamphetamines, contradicting the
results of a NASCAR test taken 40
minutes earlier, the driver claimed
in court documents filed Tuesday.
In response to NASCAR’s claim
that Mayfield again tested positive
for methamphetamines on July 6,
Mayfield submitted an affidavit to
the U.S. District Court that said he
traveled to Frye Regional Medical
Center in Hickory, N.C., right after
NASCAR collected a sample at his
Catawba County home.
In a room he described as “very
sterile,” Mayfield said he emptied
his pockets, washed his hands and
was ushered into a bathroom,
where he provided another urine
sample.
Mayfield said in the court filing
he received confirmation from
Laboratory Corporation of America
in Raleigh, N.C., that his sample
was negative on July 10 — the same
day NASCAR informed his counsel
that its sample was positive.
He said the results of his test are
W W W
.
“consistent with my lifestyle as I
have not and do not use or abuse
methamphetamines.
“It is impossible for methamphetamine to be in my body as I
have never consumed that substance.”
The filing also denied accusations made last week by his
estranged former stepmother, who
said in her own affidavit she witnessed Mayfield use methamphetamines at least 30 times and that the
driver cooked it himself until the
ingredients became too hard to
obtain.
Jake Young, 7, front, Austin Campbell, 10, middle, and Jake
White, 12, back, practice their ‘katas’ — a series of choreographed moves — on Tuesday at Tenchi Family Karate Club
in Varnell as part of the club’s “Karate Kid” Camp. The camp
is based around the 1984 movie, in which the main character is instructed in a style of karate also taught at Tenchi.

RENO, Nev. — A woman
has filed a lawsuit accusing
Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger of
raping her last summer in his
penthouse hotel room at a
casino in Lake Tahoe during
a celebrity golf tournament.
Roethlisberger’s lawyer
adamantly denied the allegations Tuesday, and was quick
to point out that the woman
never went to the authorities.
“Ben has never sexually
assaulted anyone. The timing
of the lawsuit and the
absence of a criminal complaint and a criminal investigation are the most compelling evidence of the
absence of any criminal conduct,” David Cornwell said
in a statement. “If an investigation is commenced, Ben
will cooperate fully and Ben
will be fully exonerated.”
Cornwell did not immediately reply to a phone message and e-mail seeking
more comment.
The suit also alleges hotel
officials for Harrah’s Lake
Tahoe went to great lengths
to cover up the incident.
It seeks a minimum of
$440,000 in damages from
The next night, she said
he telephoned her to tell her
his television sound system
wasn’t working and asked
her to look at it. She said she
was unable to find a technician so she handled it herself
because she had been told it
was important to please the
celebrities.
In Roethlisberger’s room
she said she determined the
TV was functioning properly
but as she turned to leave, the
6-foot-5, 240-pound quarterback blocked her exit, the
suit claims.
The lawsuit said he
grabbed her and started to kiss
her. It said she was “shocked
and stunned that this previously friendly man, that
appeared to be a gentleman in
her previous contacts with
him was suddenly preventing
her from leaving, was assaulting her and battering her.”
Efforts to reach the
woman Tuesday were unsuccessful.
The woman’s lawyer,
Calvin R. Dunlap, of Reno,
declined to answer questions
about the lack of a criminal
complaint and why the civil
action was brought a year
after the incident allegedly
took place.

Jim Arnold’s
playing career
at Vanderbilt
University
included

honors as a
punter each of

seasons in
Nashville. The
Dalton native
will be
officially
inducted into
the school’s
athletic hall of
fame in
September.

Arnold: Humbled
Vanderbilt during his time
there made Arnold’s own
team’s achievements memorable, too.
“That senior season was
pretty special,” he said. “ ...
The game that really turned
it around for us was the
Florida game at home. When
we beat them, it hit us, we
beat those guys and we can
play with anyone.”
But even as a standout for
Dalton, Arnold was aware
that playing football — and
doing so for the Catamounts
— was something he treasured, although he admits he
couldn’t have predicted far
the game would take him.
A powerful foot — not to
mention the healthy dose of
drive and discipline of which
he spoke — carried him on to
standout careers in first the
SEC, then the NFL, where he
made two Pro Bowl appearances with the Detroit Lions
and earned the league’s 1987
Golden Toe Award. He was
nominated, though not elected, to the Pro Football Hall of
Fame in 1999.
And Arnold doesn’t hesi-
tate to credit the foundation of
Dalton High football — the
school retired his No. 6 earlier
this decade — for helping him
be prepared to capitalize on
the opportunities that followed his prep career.
“It was very important,”
said Arnold, who played during the middle stretch of Bill
Chapell’s 33 years leading
the Cats. “The coaching staff
there was very disciplined.
One of the things I remember
distinctly, as much of a goofoff as I was, I didn’t goof off
around practice or with my
schoolwork ... if coaches
found out about it, you
weren’t going to get to play.”
Arnold has also credited
Chappell’s decision to make
him solely a punter entering
his senior season as a great
move for his future. Now, as
Vanderbilt prepares to celebrate his past, Arnold is still
grateful for what the years
have brought him.
“Here I am, a little skinny
kid who came from Dalton,
Georgia,” Arnold said. “I’m
becoming the second guy
from a football standpoint to
go in this hall of fame. That’s
pretty doggone special.”
Golf: A tough role
putt for par. He blasted out of
a pot bunker and made a 10foot par save on the first extra
hole, then went fairways-andgreens over the final three
holes as Watson imploded.
Even in defeat, this Open
belonged to Watson.
Yet if people occasionally forget that Cink’s name is
on that silver jug, they
should always remember his
graciousness in victory.
It’s one thing to be a gracious loser. Golfers have
plenty of practice since victories are so rare. It’s quite
another to show class in victory.
Twenty years ago at
Kemper Lakes, the late Payne
Stewart was seen laughing
during Mike Reid’s meltdown that cost him the PGA
Championship. That moment
stuck with Stewart for years
until he won the U.S. Open at
Pinehurst No. 2. He held both
sides of Phil Mickelson’s
face and said, “Good luck
with the baby. There’s nothing like being a father.”
Mickelson won his second Masters in 2006 and
asked the gallery for a
moment of silence for Tiger
Woods’ father, who was
dying. In one of the most
poignant scenes at Augusta
National, Nick Faldo shared
a long embrace after overcoming a record six-shot
deficit against Greg Norman,
telling the Shark, “Don’t let
(them) get you down.”
Cink shouldn’t have to
apologize for winning the
British Open, although you
wouldn’t know it reading
some headlines Monday in
Britain.
“Stewart Stink!” one of
them declared.
But Cink isn’t the first
major champion to share the
stage with a runner-up, if
not be overshadowed completely. Go back 10 years
ago, and some might have a
hard time remembering that
Paul Lawrie won the British
Open. Yet hardly anyone
will think of Carnoustie in
1999 and forget Van de
Velde’s triple bogey on the
final hole. It seemed as
though all of New York
wanted Mickelson, not
Retief Goosen, to win at
Shinnecock Hills.
And while it isn’t a
major, it sure felt that way at
the Canadian Open five
years ago. On the 100th
anniversary of golf’s thirdoldest championship, and
the 50-year anniversary of
the last Canadian winner,
Mike Weir three times had a
putt to win the tournament.
He wound up losing to Vijay
Singh. Woe, Canada.
Cink was asked if he felt
any disappointment that
Watson wasn’t able to challenge him in the playoff.
“I think it might be dangerous for me to answer that
question,” Cink replied to
laughter.
Another question.
“Given the way Tom
owned the week,” one
reporter asked, “does a part
of you feel as though you
came in at the end of a
syrupy, sentimental
Hollywood movie and stole
the girl at the end?
“Well, as long as the result
is I get the girl, I’m OK with
that,” Cink said. “No, I don’t
feel that way. Whether Tom
was 59 or 29, he was one of
the field, and I had to play
against everybody in the field
and course to come out on
top. I don’t think anything
can be taken away.
“Somebody may disagree
with that, but it’s going to
be hard to convince me.”
Cink doesn’t need anyone to convince him of anything. He played the best
golf over 76 holes. In
unusual circumstances —
the runner-up received the
loudest cheers — he said
and did all the right things.
In British Open tradition,
Cink was introduced as the
“champion golfer of the
year.” He was a champion
winner, too.
“On the Fringe” is a
weekly column by Doug
Ferguson, who covers golf
for The Associated Press.
“We ran into a hot team,”
Giants manager Bruce
Bochy said. “They played
well. They pitch and swing
the bats.”
Prado is hitting .377 in
July as the team’s No. 2 hitter. The former No. 2 hitter,
shortstop Yunel Escobar,
has also flourished in the
new lineup, hitting .413 in
July. Escobar hit sixth
Tuesday night.
“Prado, getting him in
that No. 2 hole and dropping Escobar down where
he can get some RBIs ... has
made a world of difference,” Braves manager
Bobby Cox said.
Prado made 13 or more
starts at first base, second
base and third base in his
utility role before taking the
starting job at second. Kelly
Johnson, who started 57
games at second in the first
half of the season, was hitting .214 when he went on
the disabled list with tendinitis in his right wrist on
July 3.
Escobar leads the team
with 53 RBIs.
The Giants, who fell out
of the NL wild-card lead
with Monday night’s 11-3
loss to the Braves, have lost
five of six.
“We’re not happy with
these last two games,”
Bochy said. “We got blown
out in both of them. Big
innings are killing us.”
The Braves’ .296 batting
average for July entering
the game led the majors.
Their 12 hits boosted the
mark to .300.
Prado began the night
tied for the major league
lead with 26 hits in July. He
had a career-best 10-game
hitting streak end Monday
night and was the NL player
of the week for the week
ending July 5. He is hitting
.324 for the season.
Prado and Escobar combined for a flashy double
play in the first inning on
Travis Ishikawa’s grounder
to Prado. Escobar made an
acrobatic throw to first after
catching Prado’s toss.

Atlanta players celebrate in the dugout at Turner
Field during Tuesday night’s 8-1 win against the
visiting San Francisco Giants. The Braves have
used a hot streak to climb back north of .500.
“Our defense has been
unbelievable,”
McCann
said. “Our middle infielders, it seems like every night
they’re making a highlight
play. It’s rubbing off on
everybody else.”
Prado said Escobar
always asks to practice
unusual double plays.
“When we take ground
balls, Escobar is the only
one that wants to practice
those kinds of plays,” Prado
said. “They happen once in
a while. We made that play,
he said, ‘You see? I told
you.’ We’ve got a great
friendship. I think he’s a
great player. He motivated
me and the guys. He makes
us play hard every day.”
Prado singled and scored
on McCann’s double in the
first, and added another single in the three-run third.
Chipper Jones had a runscoring double, Garret
Anderson had a sacrifice fly
and Escobar added an RBI
single in the inning.
The Braves added four
runs off Ryan Sadowski (22) in the fourth. Prado drove
in Ryan Church with a single. McCann’s three-run
homer over the 400-foot
sign in center gave Atlanta
an 8-0 lead.
Derek
Lowe
(9-7)
allowed seven hits and one
run in six innings as the
Braves improved to 12-6 in
July. Atlanta was last two
games over .500 on May 25.
The Giants scored in the
fifth when Juan Uribe’s single drove in Matt Downs,
who led off with a double.
Sadowski, the rookie
right-hander recalled from
Class A San Jose before the
game, gave up eight runs
and eight hits in 3 2/3
innings.
“My command was bad
and my stuff was bad,”
Sadowski said, adding he
didn’t blame the poor outing on his long wait since
his last major league start
on July 8.

The Daily Citizen
His world is a stage
BY LARA HAYES
[email protected]
When Gabriel Dean heads to the
University of Texas’ Michener Center
for Writers as a Michener Fellow next
month to begin completing his master’s of fine arts in playwriting, it will
be the biggest step yet in a life built
around the stage.
Dean grew up in a rural part of
Murray County. At 7, he wrote his first
story, “The Vamps Come Out at
Night,” and by the fifth grade he had
auditioned at Dalton Little Theatre for
his first play, “Cat on a Hot Tin Roof.”
Even though he only landed a tiny
part, the experience was revealing.
“It opened my eyes to the world,
that there is an outlet for that kind of
thing here,” Dean said. “I spent the
rest of my school time writing plays
and being in plays. Acting was a major
focus.”
That year Dean wrote his first play,
an admittedly “morbid” tale about a
boy dying of leukemia called “A
Child’s Last Christmas.” The radio
play (audio only) was performed at
Spring Place Elementary.
“I remember all the teachers being
all teary-eyed and crying,” he said. “I
took myself very seriously as a writer
when I was in fifth grade. I wrote
about all these things I had no idea
about.”
While he was attending Murray
County High School, his second play,
“Salt Water in the Eye,” was presented. The play tells the story of a man
stuck in a corporate world who always
wanted to be an artist. He decides he
wants to be a mime in Central Park
and then his whole life falls apart.
“I was probably struggling with life
decisions as a senior in high school,”
Dean admits.
Life imitated art somewhat the next
year when Dean took off to New York
City on a full acting scholarship to

gets major boost to career
with generous fellowship
week. However, his school experience
proved disappointing.
“I spent a lot of time in an acting
studio and not a lot of time getting an
education,” said Dean, now 29.
“Finally I said, ‘I can’t do this,’ but I
couldn’t transfer my scholarship.”
Dean left anyway, moving to
Oglethorpe University in Atlanta
where he says he was much happier.
And it was there he met his wife,
Jessie — fittingly on a theater stage.
“We played love interests in ‘The
Learned Ladies,’ and even the director
commented we had really good chemistry,” said Dean. “We were dating
other people at the time but started
dating a year later. It was obvious to
both of us but we tried to be respectful
of the relationships we were in. You
gotta play the politics.”
The couple dated four years before
marrying in 2005. She currently works
as an actress, director and teacher in
Atlanta.
For his senior thesis, Dean got back
to playwriting, penning “Iron Moon,”
a story based on the life of his grandmother, the late Rosella Wade. The
Aurora Theatre in Lawrenceville presented the play in 2007.
“She had a difficult life, and I think
I got my storytelling ability from her,”
he said. “(Her stories) were always
funny. She was my best friend growing up.”
Dean says his motivation is telling
a story the way no one else can and
affecting the audience deeply in the
process. His inspiration comes from
interacting with other people.
“I was talking to a friend in New
York last year and said, ‘People need
to laugh to get their minds off what’s
going on in the country,’” he said.
“My friend said, ‘Why don’t you write
something about real estate? No one
else is.’”
The result was “Buy My House …
Please!” It is a comedy about a man
who loses his job and he and his pregnant wife get invited to appear on a
reality show of the same name
because they have to sell their house.

Dean says it’s a satire of reality shows
because he hates them.
“They make me cringe,” he said. “I
wrote the first draft in about a week.”
The Aurora Theatre will stage the
world premiere of the play this fall.
By that time, Dean will be fully
involved in the Michener Fellowship,
something he is very excited about. He
was one of two chosen out of 600
applicants.
“It’s a big deal,” he said. “It’s the
most financially generous fellowship
in the country and a major boost in my
career. It opens up a new realm of possibility for income. They give you
more than enough money to live on
very comfortably for three years.”
The only downside is being separated from Jessie, who is heading to
the University of Illinois on a fellowship of her own.
“Thank God for Skype (a service
that lets people make calls worldwide
online for free),” said Dean. “She was
chosen out of even more candidates
than I was. We knew there was a possibility this would happen, but it’s a
once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.”
Before the big move, Dean is
spending his days acting in and writing more plays in Atlanta. When he’s
not onstage, he spends time with
Jessie and their two dogs, working on
investment properties, reading and
watching movies. And thinking about
what kind of tales he can spin in the
future.
“I like people to walk out of the
theater kind of speechless at first, then
ask a lot of questions later,” he said.
“Good theater does that, no matter
what it’s about.”

THE DAILY CITIZEN
To succeed, be SMART about your finess goals.
The key to successful
weight training is gradual
progression. Well, the same
gradual steps need to be considered when you are setting
your goals. So, to achieve
your fitness goals, make
them S.M.A.R.T. goals:
Specific,
Measurable,
Attainable, Realistic and
Timely.
To set a specific goal, you
need to answer most of the
six “W” questions: who,
what, where, when, which
and why. An example of a
nonspecific goal would be,
“I want to run a race.” A specific goal would be, “I want
to run a half marathon in
three months by eating right
and exercising in the gym so
I can be healthy, fit and have
the energy to finish in less
than two hours.”
After you have set a specific goal, make your goal
measurable. Ask yourself,
“How will I know when I
accomplish my goal?” An
example of a measurable
goal is recording the distance
and time you run. An easy
way to keep track of your

Recycled Teenagers take trip
The
“Recycled
Teenagers” travel club of the

from a trip to the Grand
Canyon and Las Vegas.
The 13-day trip included
stops and tours of the Bill
Clinton Library in Little
Rock, Ark.; Route 66
Museum in Clinton, Okla.;
Gallup Cultural Center in
Gallup, N.M.; a stop in
Laughlin, Nev.; Fort Smith
National Historic Site in Fort
Smith, Ark. and a visit to the
Oklahoma City Memorial.
After a full-day guided
tour of the Grand Canyon,
they enjoyed the IMAX presentation about the canyon.
Another day was spent touring the Painted Desert and
Petrified Forest. They also
enjoyed a special lunch at the
Big Texan in Amarillo,
Texas. The restaurant boasts
if you can eat the 72-ounce
steak in one hour, it’s free.
No one in the group took the
challenge.
The group made a threeday stop in Las Vegas where
they visited Hoover Dam and
the surrounding area. While
they were able to choose
their own entertainment, several saw various shows
including Jersey Boys,
Donny and Marie and Bette
Midler. Some wanted to see
the lights of Las Vegas at
night.
Attending were Lisa

progress is to keep a log of
your effort. This keeps you
accountable. Making a goal
measurable gives you the
motivation to achieve the big
picture because you can see
the gradual progress you are
making along the way.
Next you must set attainable goals. Is your goal
achievable or are you setting
yourself up for failure?
Think small and reasonable
targets and you’ll be all
right. It’s going to be hard,
but it’s supposed to be hard
— just not impossible. After
all, if it were easy everybody
would do it. Hard is what
makes it great.
Be sure to set a realistic
goal. Your goal is probably
realistic if you believe it can
be achieved. “If your mind
can conceive it and you
believe it, then your body
can achieve it.”
And last but not least stick
to timely goals. No goal
makes sense unless you attach
a timeframe to it, because
“someday” won’t work.
S.M.A.R.T. goals have a
much better chance of being
accomplished when compared to general goals.
Remember, fitness is not
achieved in a day; it is a lifelong journey. Go ahead. Set a
S.M.A.R.T. fitness goal

trainers at the Bradley
Wellness Center guide you to

Are you as fit and healthy
as you aspire to be?
If you are among the
majority of us, you want to
work on some area of your
physical well-being. Do you
want to improve the distance
you can walk without being
winded, the amount of
weight you are currently lifting or the energy you feel
after a day at the office? No
matter what your expectations are for yourself, the
best way to reach them is by
establishing clear, preferably
written goals.
However, according to
“Time Thoughts: Resources
for Personal and Career
Success,” only 5 to 10 percent of people bother to
think about their goals, and
only 1 to 3 percent actually
establish clear written goals.
The three main reasons
people do not set goals are
they feel too busy, they
become overwhelmed and
they fear they will fail. Do
you see yourself in these reasons? Have you ever told
yourself, “I’ll set goals when
things settle down and I have
more time?” Or have you
tried to set goals in the past
but failed to follow through?
Have you focused on the
results you wanted to see
instead of focusing on the
change it takes to get results?
To get you started on the
path of achieving your fitness goals, think of goal setting as a muscle. Like any
muscle in your body, the
more you use it the stronger
it gets — but it takes time.
You have to start small and
gradually build up. What
would happen if you would
try to bench press too much
weight? You would most
likely hurt yourself.

Rotary is an international
organization which focuses on
“Service about Self.” The
work of Rotary can be found
around the world in sites of
natural disasters and countries
of extreme poverty. At the
same time, Rotary focuses on
the communities in which its
members live and work to
meet local needs.
Rotary International is
divided around the world into
districts with both The Rotary
Club of Dalton, which meets
at the Dalton Golf and
Country Club at noon each
Tuesday, and the Carpet
Capital Rotary Club, which
meets at The Little Dipper at 7

New RI President John Kenny
of Scotland has urged districts
and clubs to align their goals
with the strategic plan and to
develop service projects within three areas of emphasis:
water, health and hunger, and
literacy.
Over the last several
decades, Rotary has led an
international effort to eradicate polio in the world.
Recent reports indicate that
the disease has been wiped
out of all but four nations
with all of these countries
seeing a decline in the number of cases, due in large part
to Rotary’s Polio Plus campaign to provide immunizations to people around the
world. The Bill and Melinda
Gates Foundation added
extra power to the campaign
with large financial contributions to help purchase vaccines and deliver the medicine where it is needed.
Since its inception in
Chicago in the early 20th cen-
tury by Paul Harris, Rotary
Clubs have sought to improve
community and world relations by a variety of programs
including the international
Group Study Exchange,
which sends teams of young
professionals to other countries for approximately one
month to learn about the people and culture of their destination. In turn, people from
the visited nation returns a
team of their young professionals to the home of their
international visitors.
Rotarians are expected to
follow the four tenets of “The
Four-Way Test”:
■ Is it the truth?
■ Is it fair to all concerned?
■ Will it build good will
and better friendships?
■ Will it be beneficial to all
concerned?

Let’s

doubled
and West
leads the
king
of
clubs. The
problem is
how
to
give yourself
the
b e s t
chance to
make the
contract.
Of course,
your plan
should be
based on
viewing
only the
NorthS o u t h
cards, and not all four hands shown in the diagram.
Strangely enough, the answer is to start by discarding
a spade on the king of clubs! Once you make this play you
cannot be defeated, regardless of what West decides to do
at trick two.
First, let’s suppose West continues with the ace of
clubs. In that case, you ruff, play a spade to the ace, ruff a
spade high, enter dummy with a trump and ruff another
spade high, thus establishing three spade tricks in dummy.
After you next cross to dummy with a trump, you discard the K-J-4 of hearts on the J-10-7 of spades and wind
up making the contract with an overtrick. Of course, you
don’t make the overtrick if West cashes the ace of hearts
at trick two, but, more importantly, you do make the contract.
Now let’s suppose you ruffed the king of clubs at trick
one, which seems the natural thing to do. In that event,
you would go down one no matter how you continued.
Sooner or later East would win a trick with the king of
spades and return a heart to do you in.
What the hand demonstrates is that it is occasionally
necessary to make an unusual play in order to prevent the
dangerous opponent (in this case, East) from gaining the
lead. It is easy enough to discard a spade on the opening
lead; the hard part is to think of it.
Tomorrow: A shaggy-horse story.

standard for this illness. Creactive protein, another

If your symptoms are
mild, then aspirin or other

could relieve them. However,
it would be wise to reconsider your position on prednisone, one of the cortisone
drugs. When given in high
doses for long periods, it has
major side effects but
polymyalgia doses are relatively small. The illness
responds quickly to prednisone. If all goes well, the
dose can be gradually
reduced after two to four
weeks even though treatment
might last a year or more.
Another reason to consider
prednisone is that polymyalgia is often accompanied by
another inflammatory illness,
temporal arteritis. If this illness isn’t treated quickly, it
can

blindness.
Prednisone is its treatment.
DEAR DR. DONOHUE:
I have on my face a number
of unattractive blotches that
my doctor says are actinic
keratoses. He has told me I
must see a dermatologist to
get them removed. They
don’t bother me, and at age
78 I am not going to enter
any beauty contests. Do they
have to be removed? — A.S.
ANSWER: Your doctor
isn’t suggesting removal for
cosmetic results. Actinic keratoses can turn into skin cancer. As their name suggests,
they result from sun exposure. They can be pink, red or
flesh-colored, and are about
half an inch in diameter.
Their surface is rough and
scaly. They feel gritty, like
sandpaper.
The
dermatologist
removes them in a number of
ways, none of which is
painful. He or she can freeze
them with liquid nitrogen,
scrape them with special
instruments or apply 5-fluorouracil cream to them.
You should not ignore
them or your doctor’s advice.
DEAR DR. DONOHUE:
On the side of my eye, where
the white of the eye meets the
colored iris, I have a dirtylooking,
spider-web-like
affair. It doesn’t bother me. I
just wonder what it is. What
is it? — P.K.
ANSWER: In all probability it’s a pterygium (tuhRIDGE-ee-um). It’s a triangular-shaped growth of tissues on the white of the eye
in the 3 o’clock or 9 o’clock
position. It’s gray in color
and does appear like a thick

outdoors — farmers, cowboys, sailors. If the pterygium extends onto the

ever happens.
