Sarah Harrison is looking for new opportunities in economic development, but she won’t
talk about her reasons for resigning from her
position as executive director
of the Downtown Dalton
Development Authority last
week.
“Since I have both the certified economic developer
and Georgia downtown
development professional
designations, I am pursuing
potential opportunities in Harrison
economic development,” she
said. “And I am providing consulting services in
community financing and business and downtown development.”

Harrison resigned from the DDDA on March
3 and the DDDA board accepted that resignation at a called meeting two days later.
Her letter offered no reason for the resignation, but it did note that “each previous board
successfully developed work plans that matched
DDDA’s availability of budget and manpower to
community visions and ideas.” Harrison
declined to answer when asked if the current
board pressured her to resign. She also declined
to comment on how long she had been thinking
about resigning.
DDDA board members declined to comment
on the resignation after they voted last week,
and some also declined to comment on the resignation Friday.
But they did say board members haven’t yet

When Tunnel Hill policeman Scott
Reneau stopped a 2008
Honda Accord Thursday
afternoon on I-75, he
had no idea the window
tint violation he saw
would turn into a 200plus-pound marijuana
bust.
“He told us he went
up to talk to the driver
and passenger, and Pilici
detected an overpowering smell of marijuana coming from the
vehicle — not being smoked, but raw marijuana,” said Sgt. Scott
McAllister, head of the
Whitfield
County
Sheriff’s Office drug
unit. McAllister was
contacted after Reneau
discovered several large
bags of marijuana in the
trunk.
Ylber Pilici, 23, 1588 Lika
Pounds Road in Stone
Mountain, and Teuta Lika, 18, of the same
address, were charged with trafficking marijuana. There was no citation for the window tint violation.
“It was in 10 bundles, a little over 200
pounds,” said McAllister, who estimated
street value at $320,000.
During an interview with the two, officers learned both were Ukrainian and that
their plan was to travel from Gwinnett
County to Kentucky with the marijuana.
Because they had no criminal history, they
were released on “on recognizance” bonds,
said McAllister.
District Attorney Kermit McManus said
the case is still under investigation.
Artist’s rendering of Whitfield County’s Cedar Ridge Elementary School.
A group of principals, school
personnel and administrators
toured Cedar Ridge earlier this
week as part of occasional meetings among Whitfield County
School leaders. It was the first time
most of them had been inside the
building, which construction managers said should be finished in
June.
Antioch Elementary principal
Lisa Jones said the design is exactly what the planners, including
several teachers and administrators, wanted in a new school.
“Everybody was represented,”
Jones said. “I think you’re going to
see the payoff once these teachers
get here and once the children get
here.”
It features four wings with
classrooms that open into a square
common rather than a long hallway. The areas will double as both
a “hallway” and a gathering place
for large groups. There are also an
abundance of windows, a multipurpose area near the cafeteria,
several small restrooms with one
toilet each rather than large rest-

At $7 to $10 a pill, the
drug comes with Ecstasylike highs. It heightens the
senses and heart rate — but
also comes with a risk of
seizures and acute psychosis.
In Rodriguez’s own research,
he’s found BZP takers suffer
greater hangovers than that
of those who “roll E,” or
Ecstasy.
He’s also found those on
BZP to be less mellow and
sensory as Ecstasy users. He
recalls his time as a
Washington State Patrol Drug
Recognition Expert, in which
Ecstasy users commonly
wanted to touch the bright
yellow patch on his arm. With
BZP, users tend to be more
“amped,” Rodriguez said.

Calhoun man arrested
for child molestation
Quite a Haul
Initial contact through MySpace
BY MARK MILLICAN
[email protected]
om
A Calhoun man has been
arrested for molestation following two alleged incidents
in Dalton and Calhoun.
Joe Matthew Nix, Jr., 20,
27 Short North Wall St., was
charged on Friday with child
molestation and aggravated
child molestation with a 15year-old girl from Murray
County by the Dalton Police
Departmet, said spokesman
Bruce Frazier.
Nix was charged with
aggravated child molestation
in Calhoun on March 3.
“They had oral sex on two
different occasions,” Frazier
said
According to a police
report,
Nix and
the minor
r ev e a l e d
through
interviews
they made
contact
initially
through
the social Nix
networking Web site MySpace. They
arranged to meet on Feb. 26
and did so “outside of
Whitfield County,” according to the report. Nix drove
the minor around for awhile
in his pickup and they ended
up in the parking lot at
Walmart on Shugart Road,
where the first offense
allegedly occurred.
On the following day, Nix
met the minor at a motel
room in Calhoun where the
second offense allegedly
happened. The next day the
girl told her mother what
had happened and they went
to the Calhoun Police
Department, which issued
an arrest warrant on March
3.
Nix was released from the
Whitfield County Jail on
Friday morning on a $5,000
bond. A phone number for
Nix could not be located.
District Attorney Kermit
McManus said he was not
yet familiar with the case and
that a court appearance had
not been set.

Dalton police’s use of Twitter
gains attention of CNN.com
FROM STAFF REPORTS
The
Dalton
Police
Department is mentioned in
a CNN.com article about law
enforcement agencies using
the social networking site
Twitter to communicate with
the public.
Twitter is similar to a cell
phone text message, but each
message — or “Tweet” — is
sent through a Web site and
can’t exceed 140 characters.
Bruce Frazier, public relations specialist for the
Dalton Police Department, is
quoted about the usefulness
of technology such as
Twitter when getting out
information during an emergency, such as the bombing
at the McCamy Law Firm in
October 2008.
“(The bombing occurred)
across the street from an elementary school,” he told
CNN.com. “I was on the
scene there pounding away
on my PDA trying to send
out press releases letting
people know what was going
on with the evacuation, what
they needed to do to pick up
their kids.”
“If we had been using
something like Twitter, it
would have been something
quick that I could have been
able to send something out
from my PDA.”
The
Dalton
Police
Department has about 50
“followers,” or people who
receive automatic updates on
happenings within the
agency. To view the department’s Twitter page, visit

DDDA: No replacement

discussed plans to replace
Harrison.
“Right now, the board’s
focus is on getting our annual work plan in place based
on what came out of
February retreat,” said board
chairman Ben Laughter. “We
know it needs to be filled.
But we don’t have any
immediate plans.”
Laughter and board member Kelly Fletcher said they
should begin making those
plans soon.
“We’ve got a meeting
Wednesday morning, our
next scheduled meeting, and
I think we’ll have more
information after that meeting,” Fletcher said.
“We’ve split responsibilities up. The treasurer
(Fletcher) has taken responsibility for payables and that
sort of thing. And I’m providing what guidance I can,
and we still have our marketing person (Veronica French)
in place,” he added.
Laughter said board
members plan to develop a
profile of what they are look-

ing for in the next executive
director before advertising
the position.
Harrison wrote that during the eight years she was
executive director, downtown Dalton added, among
other things, 157 net new
businesses, 551 new net jobs,
65 facade renovations, 94
rehab or construction projects “for a grand total of 243
projects and more than $100
million in public and private
investment.”
“With the letter, I just
tried to thank those board
members who have put forth
a great effort over the years,”
she said.
The DDDA was the subject of some controversy last
year.
Mayor
David
Pennington urged board
members to abolish the
authority’s 3-mill tax on
downtown properties. Board
members did cut the property tax rate to 2.5 mills but
did not end it. Authority
members forecast then that
the tax would raise about
$145,570, about $46,000
less than it received the previous year.
The City Council evicted
the DDDA from the City
Hall offices it had been occupying, rent free, for the previous year and a half.
Council members denied the
move was in retaliation for
the authority not abolishing
its tax.
Asked if those events
played a part in her resignation, Harrison said, “If they
did I’m not aware. Not on
my part.”
Neither Fletcher nor
Laughter could say exactly
what Harrison’s salary was.
School: Completed in June
rooms with several stalls, outdoor areas for
study and other amenities.
Superintendent Katie Brochu said many
areas in the new school will have “mop and
go” floors that don’t require waxing. She
refers to the school’s wings as “houses” and
said the design is intended to foster a sense of
family in what is otherwise a very large
school.
There will be wireless Internet access
throughout the building.
The 100,000-square-foot school is near
Highway 286. Students from Antioch,
Dawnville and Eastside elementary schools
will attend Cedar Ridge. The school is
designed for about 600 students and costs
about $20 million.
Planners said the building is designed to
last for 100 years with regular maintenance.
“I like how everything feeds to the middle
(of the building) even though it’s so big,” said
Allyson Millican, who will become Cedar
Ridge’s principal when it opens. “Every inch
of this building makes sense.”
The Georgia State Patrol
post in Dalton worked a
wreck Friday morning at
approximately 8:10 a.m. on
Good Hope Road. An operator said a Nissan Sentra ran
into a ditch and then hit a tree.
Two people were injured and
were sent by ambulance to
Hamilton Medical Center.
A car with five passengers
wrecked on Utility Road at
about 5:30 p.m. Friday and
was still being investigated
by
Whitfield
County
Sheriff’s Office deputies. The
single-car accident resulted
in three people sustaining
“non-emergency” injuries
and being taken to Hamilton
Medical Center, a spokeswoman with Whitfield 911
said. No citations were
issued, according to the
report.
Suspect: Trapped at motel
questions around the area, or
because she looked out the
motel window and saw us,”
Ensley said of her attempted
bolt.
He said after Sosebee was
taken to the jail officers
found she had a gunshot
wound on her left leg and
took her to Murray Medical
Center, where she was treated.
“They actually took a bullet out of her leg,” he said,
adding it was unclear from
the initial interview how
Sosebee received the wound.
Ensley described the
wound as “not done recently
but not that old either — it
was festering.”

CITIZEN OF THE WEEK
Antonio Hamilton
What would
you do if you
were
walking
along and found
a debit card?
Not too long
ago,
Antonio
Hamilton would
have considered
it free money
without a second
thought. But that
was before he
met some of the
Bethesda House
of Mercy congregation.
According to
member
Jan
Sykes, the group
was holding its
weekly Friday
night
prayer
service Feb. 27 at
Bethel A.M.E.
when there was a
knock at the
door.
Sykes
opened the door to find
Hamilton questioning
what was going on.
“He said he felt
drawn there,” she said.
“He said ‘Are you fellowshipping here?’ I
said ‘We’re praying’
and invited him in.”
Hamilton recognized
Pastor
Emmanuel
Tchoua and ended up
staying until 1 a.m.
where he struck up a
friendship with Sykes
and her husband. The
next Sunday the Sykes
were delighted to see
Hamilton
at
the
church’s worship service at the Oakwood
Café.
This past Tuesday Jan
received an unexpected
call from Hamilton. He
had found the card and
wanted her help in
locating the owner.
“He said ‘That’s not

said Jan.
Hamilton and Tchoua
returned the card to the

WORDS OF WISDOM
Bible verse: “[Praise to the Lord] O Lord, you are
my God; I will exalt you and praise your name, for in
perfect faithfulness you have done marvelous things,

Isaiah 25:1
Today’s quote: “The most dangerous creation of any
society is that man who has nothing to lose.”
James Baldwin
American author 1924-1987
Evolution of elephants
Did I hear somebody say “change?” The
word is too mild. Try “train wreck,” if you are
a Republican. “A new beginning” may fit
your feelings better — if you voted
Democratic in the last presidential election.
In either case, I have the feeling that our
political nation is about to be turned upside
down. President Barack Obama has drawn up
a national to-do list that may require an
administration of miracle makers.
The country is on the edge of owing a horrendous debt created by the Democrats to
rescue us from the economic chaos of the
previous GOP presidential administration.
Workers in the steel mills and auto plants
of America may feel a faint hope. After years
of decline, American-made cars and steel
could be poised to bounce back on the
strength of a bailout.
If you’re from the Midwest, you may feel
a rush of opportunity springing from the
energy crisis. Vehicles fueled with the equivalent of corn liquor could save us from the oil
barons.
The great universities of New England and
California may be free to enter a new era of
scientific research that will propel America to
the head of the line in healing and preventing
diseases.
It may take a year or even two years to
determine whether the new dreams for this
democracy can materialize: whether we can
make better cars and more money, whether
we can teach our kids to be as smart as the
Chinese or Indians, whether innovation and
creativity are still the bywords of this hustleand-bustle society.
And it may take a year or two to determine
whether the American South can bounce
back as the region of new dreams and
endeavors.
Scanning voter statistics from the last
election, one would have to conclude that the
South of 2009 is in about the same position
as it was in 1929: running short on leaders
and long on dopes. Unless Obama’s scenario
for the future changes dramatically, the South
is not going to play much of a role in the reinvigoration of a nation.
Few Southerners and almost no Georgians
have been tapped for leadership roles in the
Obama administration. That is hardly surprising. Obama drew relatively few votes from
Georgia and other Old Confederate states.
In the early days of his administration,
Obama signed an executive order rescinding
President Bush’s restrictions on using public
funds for stem cell research. Before the ink
was dry on the order, Georgia’s Republican
Bill
Shipp
leaders drafted a state law
to prevent governmentfunded stem cell research
here
So much for the
dreams. Georgia’s best
minds had once envisioned
Georgia and much of the
South as leaders in stem
cell research.
We forgot an old
axiom: In the South, when
scientific findings clash
with
Deuteronomy,
Deuteronomy
always
wins.
In much of the country, the election of
Obama as president is regarded as our most
remarkable political outcome in years.
In the South, however, the “most remarkable” certificate went to the Republican
Party. Overnight, the Grand Old Party turned
into little more than a regional organization
with a one-word motto, “No!” Many of the
same Republicans who constructed the trillion-dollar national debt in just six years are
now staunchly on the side of frugality.
Some of those Republican senators are the
same Republicans who drafted generous
amendments to the bailout bill and then voted
against the whole bill. That’s right, they
voted for the bill before they voted against it.
At least one Georgia Republican left an
indelible mark in our history books. Rep./Dr.
Phil Gingrey sharply criticized radio talkshow host Rush Limbaugh for publicly hoping Obama would fail as president. Then a
panicky Dr. Phil, realizing he had taken issue
with the GOP’s generalissimo, hastily apologized.
At press time, a duel for the Republican
crown appeared to be shaping up between
Limbaugh and former House Speaker Newt
Gingrich, who is credited with coining the
phrase, “Kill all Democrats.”
Back in Atlanta, remnants of the old
Republican Party shook their heads in disbelief. Georgia Republicans had not been
viewed as such political oddballs since moderate Republican challenger Newt Gingrich
of Carrollton ran against incumbent
Democratic Congressman Jack Flynt of
Griffin back in the mid-1970s, and lost in a
landslide.

The fatal conceit of economic stimulus
We’ve been rolled again.
Sure, the economy is in bad shape —
though the late ‘70s and early ‘80s were
worse in many ways, but is it true that
every economist agrees that massive
“stimulus” is the solution?
“A failure to act, and act now, will turn
a crisis into a catastrophe,” President
Obama said.
If someone expresses skepticism,
Obama and other political leaders suggest
that economists are unanimous in believing that government spending is the only
answer.
“We have a consensus that we need a
big stimulus package that will jolt the
economy back into shape,” Obama said.
House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer
agreed: “Every economist from right to
left, Republican, Democrat, advises that it
has to be a very substantial package.”
It’s a lie. There was no consensus.
(Anyway, a consensus doesn’t mean
something is true.) Finding an economist
who opposed government spending as a
way to fix the economy was easy. More
than 350 signed a petition opposing the
bill.
“How is it the government is going to
be able to spend a dollar in such a way
that it generates a dollar or more in
value?” asked George Mason University
economist Peter Leeson. “A more likely
possibility is that a dollar that government
takes out of the private sector is a dollar
the private sector doesn’t have to spend.”
Leeson is referring to the “broken-window” fallacy, which comes from Frederic
Bastiat’s story about a boy who throws a
rock through a shop window. Since the
shopkeeper has to buy a new window,
some believe the mischief will actually
John
Stossel
stimulate the local
economy. The fallacy
lies in overlooking
that the shopkeeper
would have spent the
money some other
way if he didn’t have
to replace the window.
Every penny the
government spends
will first have to be
borrowed from someone in the economy.
So where’s the stimu-
lus?
“They’re exploiting a minor correction
in the economy. ... Markets go through
corrections all the time,” Lydia Ortega of
San Jose State University told me.
I pointed out that people say this correction is worse — maybe like the
Depression.
“But markets need to go through this
correction,” she said. “What’s happening
now, what’s making it worse, is that people don’t know what’s going to happen.
There’s so much uncertainty generated by
the government spending.”
The more the government does, the
more private investors wait.
“Part of the reason that people aren’t
spending is they don’t know what these
characters in Washington are going to
do,” says Howard Baetjer of Towson
University.
“Japan tried six spending packages in
the early 1990s. The result? A decade of
lost growth,” points out Ben Powell of
Suffolk University. “It’s the government’s
own policies that contributed to the bubble. The government’s not the answer to
it.”
I wanted to ask the bailout’s big boosters about that. Two agreed to talk, Maxine
Waters of the House Finance Committee
and Majority Leader Hoyer.
Hoyer conceded that he “overstated
the case” when he said every economist
endorsed government action.
Wasn’t the bubble caused by too much
debt? I asked.
“No doubt about it.”
So the answer is more debt?
“Most economists believe that’s the
case.”
This stimulus spending, is this going
to work?
“I hope so.”
Might it cause hyperinflation?
“We hope it doesn’t. “
Well, that’s comforting.
“Government can’t sit and just twiddle its
fingers,” Rep. Waters told me. “We have
got to interject money into these banks
and these systems that help this economy
work.”
How are you going to pay for it?
“We have borrowed money before. We
continue to borrow money, but we pay it
back.”
She left a few things out. Debt means
interest payments and higher taxes in the
future. It also means inflation when the
Fed prints money to reduce the real value
of the debt. But the politicians are confident that they can wisely spend trillions
of your dollars. The arrogance of the
political class is stunning.

Southeast songbirds dying from salmonella
BY BILL POOVEY
Associated Press Writer
CHATTANOOGA
—
Mass deaths of songbirds in
the Southeast have been
attributed to salmonella, but
tests show the strain is different from one that has sickened people.
Calls have been coming in
for weeks about large numbers of dead American
goldfinches, purple finches
and pine siskins, said Scott
Dykes, a Tennessee Wildlife
Resources Agency biologist.
Necropsies show the birds
died of salmonella, a common disease in the species.
Kevin Keele, a wildlife
pathologist
at
the
Southeastern Cooperative
Wildlife Disease Study in
Athens, Ga., said Friday that
salmonella is not uncommon
in birds. While there has been
a more widespread occurrence this year, there is no
evidence the deaths are
linked to any recalled products, contaminated peanuts
or bird feed.
The Chattanooga Times
Free Press first reported the
salmonella bird deaths in
East Tennessee on Friday.
Dykes said he was advised
by researchers of reports of
salmonella-related
bird
deaths in North Carolina,
Virginia, West Virginia,
Maryland and Washington
state.
Keele said there have been
reports in Georgia and South
Carolina.
Keele said tests show the
salmonella bacteria is “probably just associated with the
birds themselves.”
“We think we probably
have birds out there that are
just carriers of this virus and
making other birds sick,” he
said. “It has happened
before.”
Birds normally carry some
salmonella bacteria in their
digestive tracks, and periods
of stress such as cold weather
or food shortages can weaken
their systems. Keele described
it as a disease common in
birds around bird feeders.
Keele said the unusually
large number of bird deaths
coincides with pine siskins
“moving into more southerly
areas” than normal.
“They have been the
species most affected by this
recent outbreak,” he said.
Dykes said there are typically are no outward signs that
a bird is sick with salmonella.
“The feathers are kind of
fluffed up and typically by the
next day they will be dead,”
he said. “To look at them you
Critics: Proposed law
amounts to a poll tax
BY KATE BRUMBACK
Associated Press Writer
ATLANTA — A proposed Georgia law would
require prospective voters to
prove citizenship, a practice
opponents say would keep
the poor, elderly and minorities away from the polls as
taxes and literacy tests once
did.
It’s been more than 40
years since the Voting Rights
Act was signed, barring voting practices used throughout the South for years to
keep poor blacks from voting. Today in Georgia, registering to vote is simple:
check a box on an application affirming you are a citizen.
However, both chambers
of the Georgia Legislature
approved a bill earlier this
month that would require
people to provide a birth certificate, U.S. passport, naturalization papers or other
documents proving citizenship. Similar bills have surfaced this year in five other
states — Colorado, Illinois,
Tennessee, Washington and
Virginia, according to the
National Conference of State
Legislatures.
Supporters, including the
official in charge of Georgia
elections, have said the
measure would protect the
integrity of the voting
process. Critics have countered people who don’t have
the documents available or
can’t afford the costs of getting copies might end up
being disenfranchised.
“It’s a poll tax and we’ve
lived through that before,”
said Jerry Gonzalez, executive director of the Georgia
Association
of
Latino
Elected Officials. “America
has changed. We elected an
African-American president,
but Georgia wants to go back
to the 1950s by enacting very
restrictive, very cumbersome
voting practices.”
They point to Arizona —
the only state with such a law
— saying citizens there have
had trouble because of what
they
call
burdensome
requirements.
“The results so far show
that people who are citizens
but were unable to produce
the right documentation lost
the right to vote. I mean
that’s what the result is,” said
Larry
Frankel,
a
Washington-based attorney
for the American Civil
Liberties Union. “It isn’t as
if people who are in an illegal status are rushing to the
polls to vote because that’s a
good way of getting caught.”
Secretary of State Karen
Handel, a Republican whose
office oversees elections, has
aggressively lobbied for the
measure.
Spokesman
Matt
Carrothers said the Secretary
of State’s Office sent 4,771
advisory letters before last
year’s general election to
residents who attempted to
register to vote but whose
status was “flagged” because
of a question about their
immigration status. Of those,
2,718 never responded or
provided proof of citizenship.
All told, he said 599 residents cast a “challenged”
ballot due to questions about
their citizenship, and 230
failed to provide proper documentation before election
results were certified.
The vote on two similar
bills broke pretty much along
party lines in both houses of
the Georgia Legislature, with
Republicans supporting it
and Democrats against it.
Once the chambers hash out
minor differences, the bill
would go to Republican Gov.
Sonny Perdue. The governor
has not said whether he
would sign it.
The law would take effect
next year, and people already
registered to vote would not
have to prove citizenship as
long as they remain on voter
rolls. It would have to be
approved by the U.S. Justice
Department.
GEORGIA
Perdue signs
$18.9B budget
ATLANTA — Gov. Sonny
Perdue has signed an $18.9
billion amended budget that
includes cash to fund property tax breaks already promised to Georgia homeowners.
The budget plan, which covers the fiscal year that ends
June 30, slashes about $2 billion in state spending to close
a huge budget hole. The state
has seen its tax collections
slide in recent months. The
budget contains $625 million
in federal stimulus dollars for
Medicaid and education. That
federal cash helped the state
fund some $428 million in
homeowner tax relief grants,
which translates into about
$200 to $300 per household.
That money was already
included in property tax bills.
But the relief could disappear
next year because a new law
will link future grants to the
state’s economy.
Acworth man
jumps to his death
KNOXVILLE —
Knoxville police say a man
who jumped to his death
from a highway overpass
was from northwestern
Georgia. Capt. Gary
Holliday said Friday the
man was 23-year-old Dustin
Lamar Henry of Acworth,
Ga. Henry was spotted
Wednesday walking along
Interstate 275 after an officer
noticed he matched the
description of a burglary
suspect. WATE-TV reported
that as police officers questioned Henry, he broke free,
ran onto an overpass and
jumped, falling about 30 feet
to a railroad track below. He
was pronounced dead a short
time later at the University
of Tennessee Medical
Center. Henry had outstanding Georgia warrants on probation violations and failure
to appear in court.
Seized dogs almost
ready for adoption
GAINESVILLE— Nearly
60 dogs seized from a north
Georgia kennel earlier this
month are almost ready for
adoption. Rick Aiken, president of the Humane Society
of Hall County, says the shelter is struggling to get all the
dogs spayed and neutered. He
says the dogs also needed
extra skin and dental work
because of the unsanitary
conditions in which they were
found. The Georgia
Department of Agriculture
seized the dogs March 4 from
a Cumming breeder. The
dogs are mostly small breeds,
such as Yorkshire terriers,
Chihuahuas and dachshunds.

Products from Peanut
Corp., which filed for Chapter

been linked to a salmonella
outbreak that has sickened
more than 600 people in 46
states. The company supplied
peanut butter for industrial

Companies have recalled
more than 2,100 products

a fiscal note.
Much of that new revenue
would be captured by “casual” car sales that often go
undetected by tax collectors.
House leaders said that
because the average used car
is kept five years, most residents will break even if they
keep their car that long
because they avoid the annual tax.
Rogers said he and other
Senate leaders would have to
study the effort before considering any changes, but that
he wants to make sure “in the
long-term it will net taxpayer
savings.”
“You have to look at it
long-term — whether the
long-term its a net tax deduction,” said Rogers. “I hope
it’s a net tax cut. And that of
course, is what I’ll be looking
at.”
Gov. Sonny Perdue said
Friday parts of the proposal
looked “convoluted,” but he
applauded efforts to capture
the sales tax on secondhand
car sales.

China’s premier
urges U.S. to
safeguard assets
BEIJING — China’s premier didn’t say it in so many
words, but the implied warning to Washington was
blunt: Don’t devalue the dollar through reckless spending. Premier Wen Jiabao’s
message is unlikely to be
misunderstood at the White
House. It is counting on
Beijing to help pay for its
stimulus package by buying
U.S. bonds. China already is
Washington’s biggest foreign creditor, with an estimated $1 trillion in U.S.
government debt. A weaker
dollar would erode the value
of those assets. “Of course
we are concerned about the
safety of our assets. To be
honest, I’m a little bit worried,” Wen said at a news
conference Friday after the
closing of China’s annual
legislative session. “I would
like to call on the United
States to honor its words,
stay a credible nation and
ensure the safety of Chinese
assets.”
Tough job finding
Madoff money
NEW YORK — With
Bernard Madoff behind bars,
investigators have their work
cut out for them identifying
who else may have been
involved in his nearly $65
billion scam. Among other
things, prosecutors must
determine what role, if any,
Madoff’s wife, brother, two
sons and employees played
in perhaps the largest Ponzi
scheme in history.
Authorities also will have to
reconcile Madoff’s statement to the judge that “to
the best of my recollection,
my fraud began in the early
1990s.” Prosecutors have
alleged that the swindle
began in the 1980s.
‘Enemy combatant’
usage dropped
WASHINGTON — The
Obama administration said
Friday that it is abandoning
one of President George W.
Bush’s key phrases in the
war on terrorism: enemy
combatant. The Justice
Department said in legal filings that it will no longer
use the term to justify holding prisoners at Guantanamo
Bay. But that won’t change
much for the detainees at the
U.S. naval base in Cuba —
Obama still asserts the military’s authority to hold
them. Human rights attorneys said they were disappointed that Obama didn’t
take a new stance.
Children drink
wiper fluid
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. —
Ten children at an Arkansas
day-care center drank windshield wiper fluid after the
owner served it from a container mistaken for Kool-Aid
and placed in a refrigerator,
authorities said Friday. The
day-care owner voluntarily
surrendered her state license
Friday. Doctors estimate the
children, ages 2 to 7, drank
about an ounce of the blue
fluid late Thursday afternoon before realizing it tasted wrong. Only one child
remained hospitalized
Friday in good condition,
after blood samples showed
“measurable levels” of
methanol, a highly toxic
alcohol that can induce
comas and cause blindness,
officials said. In moderate
cases, it can cause nausea,
vomiting, staggering and
sleepiness, James said.
Boyfriend ‘enabler’
LOS ANGELES — Anna
Nicole Smith’s lawyerturned-boyfriend was the
principal enabler in a conspiracy with two doctors to
provide the “known addict”
thousands of prescription
pills in the months before
she died of an overdose,
California Attorney General
Jerry Brown said Friday.
Howard K. Stern and Drs.
Khristine Eroshevich and
Sandeep Kapoor were
charged by Los Angeles
County prosecutors after a
two-year probe by the attorney general, state medical
and insurance officials and
the Drug Enforcement
Administration.

Upbeat Obama touts model for recovery
WASHINGTON (AP) —
Turning
more
upbeat,
President Barack Obama said
Friday his administration is
working to create a “post-bubble” model for solid economic
growth once the recession
ends. He said that means the
days of overheated housing
markets and “people maxing
out on their credit cards” are
over.
But first, Obama said,
“We’ve got to get through this
difficult period.”
There are “modestly
encouraging signs” on that
score,
said
Lawrence
Summers, Obama’s top economic adviser, citing indications that consumer spending
had stabilized after taking a
dive over the holiday season.
The White House attempts
to be positive matched a fourth
day in a row of stock market
gains. The Dow Jones industrials gained 53.92 points to
cap Wall Street’s best week
President
Barack
Obama gestures while
making remarks in the
Oval Office of the White
House in Washington,
Friday.
since last November.
Administration officials
were criticized earlier this year
for painting too dark a picture
of the economy in an effort to
win congressional passage of
the president’s $787 billion
stimulus package. But more
recently, the president and oth-
ers on his team have tempered
their comments in hopes of
building confidence, including
the president’s suggestion last
week that it was a good time
for those with a long-term perspective to buy stocks.
Despite the new enthusiasm at the White House and
on Wall Street, there was little
solid evidence to suggest an
end was in sight to the severe
recession that has already cost
the U.S. over four million
jobs, driven home values
down and sent foreclosures
soaring.
And there were fresh signs
of financial stress. The
Commerce
Department
reported Friday that the U.S.
trade deficit plunged in
January to the lowest level in
six years as the economic
downturn cut America’s
demand for imported goods.
And China’s premier, Wen
Jiabao, expressed concern
over the U.S. economy and the
value of his own nation’s vast
holdings in Treasury bonds.
China is Washington’s biggest
foreign creditor, holding an
estimated $1 trillion in U.S.
government debt.
“We have lent a huge
amount of money to the
U.S., so of course, we are
concerned about the safety
of our assets,” Wen told
reporters in Beijing.
But
in
Washington,
Summers said it was time for
America to move past an
“excess of fear” that has made
things worse.
Summers, who was treasury secretary under President
Bill Clinton and now is director of Obama’s National
Economic Council, said it was
too soon to gauge the broad
impact of the administration’s
recovery program or to predict
when the recession might end.
But he suggested glimmers of
hope.
Speaking at a Brookings
Institution forum, he was
asked by a member of the
audience what the nation’s
business community could do
to help speed the recovery.
“What we need today is
more optimism and more confidence,” Summers said.
He called it a “very good
moment” to make investments
in new construction and other
projects. “There are a very
large number of things that are
on sale today.”
Private economists agree
that it’s too soon to declare
recovery is on the way.
“As long as we are losing
over 600,000 jobs per month,
consumers are not going to
be able to sustain consumer
spending,” said Mark Zandi,
chief economist at Moody’s
Economy.com. “It is too
early to conclude that the
bottom is at hand,” he said
after Thursday’s report on
retail sales and consumer
spending.

A
building under construction goes through many phases.
An architect delights in the planning and design process,
a builder finds satisfaction in putting it all together, and when
it’s all built, an interior designer may add the finishing
touches. An expert specializes in each part of the plan.
Each of us has a plan; we could use some expert help to
carry it out. We can construct our life on faith as solid as the
walls of our house of worship; we can design our plan within
the guidelines set forth in God’s Word. Most importantly, we
can pray each day for our Creator’s guidance, for truly we
are each “under construction.”

GAINESVILLE — Lake
Lanier lost more than water
in 2008. The number of visitors visiting the federal reservoir also took a tumble.
The U.S. Army Corps of

million people visited the
lake in 2008, 1 million fewer
visitors than in 2005 — the
last time Lanier was at full
pool. It was a 13 percent
decline.
The lake dropped to 18
feet below full last summer
as the drought heated up.
Swimming areas, boat ramps

Lanier currently is about
12 feet below full as the
drought heads into its fourth
year.
ROME (AP) — An archaeological dig near Venice has
unearthed the 16th-century
remains of a woman with a
brick stuck between her jaws
— evidence, experts say, that
she was believed to be a vampire.
The unusual burial is
thought to be the result of an
ancient vampire-slaying ritual.
It suggests the legend of the
mythical bloodsucking creatures was tied to medieval
ignorance of how diseases
spread and what happens to
bodies after death, experts
said.
The well-preserved skeleton was found in 2006 on the
Lazzaretto Nuovo island,
north of the lagoon city, amid
other corpses buried in a mass
grave during an epidemic of
plague that hit Venice in 1576.
“Vampires don’t exist, but
studies show people at the
time believed they did,” said
Matteo Borrini, a forensic
archaeologist and anthropologist at Florence University
who studied the case over the
last two years. “For the first
time we have found evidence
of an exorcism against a vampire.”
Medieval texts show the
belief in vampires was fueled
by the disturbing appearance
of decomposing bodies,
Borrini told The Associated
Press by telephone.
During epidemics, mass
graves were often reopened to
bury fresh corpses and diggers
would chance upon older bodies that were bloated, with
blood seeping out of their
mouth and with an inexplicable hole in the shroud used to
cover their face.
“These characteristics are
all tied to the decomposition
of bodies,” Borrini said. “But
they saw a fat, dead person,

full of blood and with a hole in
the shroud, so they would say:
’This guy is alive, he’s drinking blood and eating his
shroud.”’
Modern forensic science
shows the bloating is caused
by a buildup of gases, while
fluid seeping from the mouth
is pushed up by decomposing
organs, Borrini said. The
shroud would have been consumed by bacteria found in the
mouth area, he said.
At the time however, what
passed for scientific texts
taught that “shroud-eaters”
were vampires who fed on the
cloth and cast a spell that
would spread the plague in
order to increase their ranks.
To kill the undead creatures, the stake-in-the-heart
method popularized by later
literature was not enough: A
stone or brick had to be forced
into the vampire’s mouth so
that it would starve to death,
Borrini said.
That’s what is believed to
have happened to the woman
found on the Lazzaretto
island, which was used as a
quarantine zone by Venice.
Aged around 60, she died of
the plague during the epidemic that also claimed the life of
the painter Titian.
Much later, someone
jammed the brick into her
mouth when the grave was
reopened. Borrini said that
marks and breaks left by blunt
instruments on several among
more than 100 skeletons found
by the archaeologists show
that the grave was reused in a
later epidemic.
Such a reconstruction of
events is plausible, as is the
link to the superstitions about
“shroud-eaters,” said Piero
Mannucci, the vice president
of the Italian Society of
Anthropology and Ethnology.
“Maybe a priest or a
gravedigger put the brick in
her mouth, which is what was
normally done in such cases,”
Mannucci said.
The anthropologist, who
did not take part in Borrini’s
research, said that at a time
when bacteria were unknown,
such superstitions were a way
for the terrified population to
explain the waves of plague
epidemics that killed millions
during the Middle Ages. Jews
were also often accused of
spreading the disease.
Borrini said the discovery
shows that vampires in popular culture were originally
quite different from the elegant, aristocratic blooddrinker depicted in Bram
Stoker’s 1897 novel “Dracula”
and in countless Hollywood
revisitations.
“The real vampire of tradition was different,” he said. “It
was just a decomposing body.”

PREP BASEBALL: NORTHWEST WHITFIELD
Blue skies
Bruins capitalize on
Ridgeland mistakes
BY ADAM KROHN
[email protected]
Northwest Whitfield found sunshine on a cloudy day.
With Ridgeland — the state’s
fifth-ranked baseball team from
Region 6-3A — in town Friday, the
Bruins bounced back from a lopsided defeat to Lakeview-Fort
Oglethorpe the night before to beat
the Panthers, 12-2, at Richard S.
Chumley Field in Tunnel Hill.
The game ended in the bottom
of the fifth — not because of the
rainy weather that lasted from first
pitch to final out, but instead due to
the
Georgia
High
School
Association’s mercy rule.
While the Bruins (3-4) worked
through the conditions with relative
ease, the Panthers (4-2) struggled
mightily, dropping routine fly balls,
overthrowing first base, forgetting to
cover bases on Northwest steal
Cats find
rhythm,
win again
attempts and throwing wild pitches
among other miscues. In all,
Ridgeland committed eight errors
while the Bruins committed just one.
Northwest had lost three of its
past four games, including a 19-4
clubbing from the Warriors on
Thursday.
“Hopefully we had a little more
mental toughness than they did,”
Bruins coach Todd Middleton said.
“We’ve been working on that and
have been lacking that, so hopefully we’re building some mental
toughness here.
“We couldn’t get anybody out
(Thursday against LFO) and didn’t
play very well. We had a chat after
that game and talked about some
intensity things and we came out
ready to play today.”

Ridgeland’s Chase Holdbrooks slides into home plate as Northwest Whitfield’s Brent Stephens
waits to apply the tag. Holdbrooks was out on the play on a day when not much went the way
of the Panthers, who committed eight errors. After dropping three of their past four, the host
Bruins were glad to pick up a 12-2 victory in five innings in the non-region matchup.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
FROM STAFF REPORTS
It’s official: the Dalton High
boys soccer team is kicking into
high gear.
The Catamounts and keeper
Ivan Salas narrowly missed their
second consecutive shutout as
Sequoyah’s Chiefs scored on just
their second attempt of the night in
the 79th minute, but Ricky
Rodriguez’s two goals were
enough for the 2-1 win in Region
7-4A action Friday night at
Harmon Field.
“It was a sloppy game,” said
coach Matt Cheaves, referring to
the weather. “But we got the win.”
Rodriguez’s first goal came in
the 28th minute and was assisted
by Jesse Gonzalez. His second
came on a corner kick from Jose
Rangel in the 65th minute.
The Cats (5-3, 3-1) outshot
Sequoyah 34-2, with Salas recording a save.

PREP TENNIS: DALTON LADY CATAMOUNTS
ATLANTA — For more than
39 minutes, Florida State and
Georgia Tech leaned on highscoring guards Toney Douglas
and Lewis Clinch.
With the Atlantic Coast
Conference tournament game on
the line in the final seconds, each
team had to turn to another guard.
Seminoles sophomore Derwin
Kitchen delivered; Yellow Jackets
freshman Iman Shumpert didn’t.
Kitchen’s three-point play with
7.7 seconds left on Friday gave the
No. 22 Seminoles a 64-62 win over
the Yellow Jackets, whose season
ended when Shumpert’s last-second attempt bounced off the rim.
A relieved Douglas pounded
the floor twice as Shumpert and
other Georgia Tech players fell to
their hands and knees in disappointment.
“He can’t hang his head too
low,” Clinch said of Shumpert.
“He’s got to get prepared for his
future.”
Florida State (24-8) ended a
streak of 11 straight losses in the
quarterfinals while advancing to
the semifinals for the first time
since 1992, its first year in the
league. Douglas had 25 points for
the Seminoles, who will face North
Carolina in today’s first semifinal.
“We always want to play the
top team in the league and in the
country,” Douglas said.
The Seminoles barely survived
against the worst team in the
league. Georgia Tech managed
only two conference wins in the
regular season and was the No. 12
seed in the tournament.
Clinch scored 25 points for
Georgia Tech (12-19), which beat
No. 17 Clemson on Thursday and

came close to another upset.
Clinch was looking for a shot at a
possible game-winner.
“Oh yeah, I wanted it at the
end,” Clinch said. “Unfortunately,
I didn’t get it but Iman got a good
shot off.”
Georgia Tech led 62-61, its
first lead since 2-0, on Zach
Peacock’s baseline shot with 29
seconds remaining.
Florida State called a timeout
with 24.9 seconds left. With three
Georgia Tech defenders surrounding Douglas, the Seminoles had to
call for another timeout with 9.9
seconds left.
“When I brought the ball
upcourt, they trapped me,”
Douglas said. “I told my teammates to make them pay for it. ...
I guess everybody knew the play
was for me.”
The revised plan for Kitchen
was more of a surprise to Georgia
Tech.
“We weren’t able to make a
stop on the defensive end,”
Shumpert said. “A lot of that’s on
my part, just playing the wrong
way. ... Douglas was the decoy.”
Said Douglas: “They wouldn’t
expect Kitchen. We just switched.
He got the high-percentage shot.
... A lot of teams focus on me, so
I look for somebody else who is
open.”

Long signs with Reinhardt
BY MARTY KIRKLAND
[email protected]
Dalton High’s Lauren Long has
taken mental toughness from the
page to the tennis court — and it’s
paying dividends for both the Lady
Catamounts’ present and her own
future.
Along with stepping into a bigger role for Dalton’s varsity lineup
in her senior season, Long has
made good on her hope of playing
college tennis by signing a partial
athletic scholarship with Reinhardt
College in Waleska.
The Lady Eagles impressed
Long with an emphasis on individual improvement and team building
over simply winning.
“When I went down to Reinhardt
and met the coach and the girls, what
struck me was
that she wouldn’t
pick me unless I
fit in with the
girls,” said Long,
who had Hannah
Mayo, a former
Lady Cat now
playing basketLong
ball for the Lady
Eagles, as a guide
on one of her visits to the school.
“And they made me feel really
welcome, I felt like I fit in on the
team. And I love the school, it’s a
very good atmosphere and I can’t
wait to go.”
Long received a mental toughness workbook last summer from
her private coach, Fred Burdick, and
she’s had an opportunity to put those
W W W
.
concepts into practice at least twice
during the first half of Dalton’s season. And she did so successfully,
too, coming through with crucial
victories at No. 3 singles in Region
7-4A wins against Woodland and
Sequoyah, rallying both times after
dropping the opening set.
“I kind of like the pressure, I
kind of don’t,” Long said. “But it
makes me feel good when I can pull
it out and win one for the team.”
In the Woodland match, Long
didn’t know the team’s situation —
the top two singles players had lost,
but the doubles had won — until a
friend came over during a break
after she split the first two sets.

Long: Next level
➣ Continued from page 1B
“She said, ‘It’s all up to
you,’ and I said, ‘Oh,
great,’” Long recalled. “But
I was patient and I stepped
up to the plate.”
A four-year member of
the team who played some
at doubles and No. 3 singles
as a junior, Long is 5-2 in
her first season as a fulltime varsity starter. The role
is one she ascended to after
waiting out the depth of talented senior classes ahead
of her that helped lead the
Lady Cats — who are 5-2
overall and 3-0 in region
play this season — to the
past two Region 7-4A titles.
Much
of
Long’s
improvement on the court is
due to the extensive United
States Tennis Association
junior tournament schedule
she plays throughout the
year, said Dalton coach
David Hilley, who noted that
she is also “the first girl in a
long time to leave Dalton
and go play college tennis.”
“It’s the experience factor,” he said. “She didn’t get
a whole lot of experience for
us early on as a player, but
she got that from playing
those tournaments. From
doing that, she knows what
to do to win matches. She
still makes mistakes, she’s
going to lose some matches,
but she knows what went
wrong and what she can
practice on to improve.”
Burdick, who operates
Mountain View Tennis, has
coached Long since she
was a freshman and said
she’s completely overhauled her game since com-
ing to him as a novice. He
also pointed to the tourney
schedule as a major factor
in her improvement, as well
as an increased focus on the
mental part of tennis.
“After you learn the
strokes, you’re only as good
as you are under pressure,”
Burdick said. “In other
words, you can practice the
strokes and hit it, but if you
can’t do that when the rubber
meets the road, it’s a real
problem. Most people focus
on the outcome, but we try to
focus on a performance goal,
rather than an outcome goal.”
That will likely be just as
important as Long makes
the transition to Reinhardt,
an NAIA school that competes in the Southern States
Athletic Conference. The
Lady Eagles went 1-9 last
season and lost in the first
round of the conference
tournament; they’re currently 2-2 as the 2009
schedule nears its midpoint.
Long’s expectations for
her college career — where
she’ll be coached by
Jennifer Sackman, a standout for Southeast High in the
mid-1990s, Hilley said —
are to continue to improve
and compete. She’d also like
to duplicate, as much as possible, the team-first atmosphere that has made playing
tennis at Dalton special.
“We’re always supporting each other and pushing
each other,” she said. “We
all know what we can do and
we push each other to the
best of our abilities. I want
to go down to Reinhardt and
have that closeness still.”

Bruins: Snap skid
Chase Plott turned in a
sold performance from the
mound and the plate for the
Bruins, pitching all five
innings while striking out
four, walking one and
allowing just one hit and
two runs (both unearned) to
pick up the victory. Plott
also doubled and walked,
with his courtesy runner,
Garrett Smith, accounting
for two of Northwest’s runs.
“I felt great out there,”
Plott said of his pitching
performance. “This win
really picks us up from that
slump we’ve been in.
Hopefully we can get back
on track and keep winning.”
The Bruins scored in
every inning, starting with
two runs in the first on Zane
Gordon’s RBI single and a
Ridgeland throwing error
that led to Brent Stephens
scoring
from
third.
Northwest added three more
in the second, with Jordan
Darnell and Zach Sloan scoring on another throwing error
and Hogan Hughes scoring
on another Gordon single.
With no outs in the third
inning, Panthers starter
Chase Stoker was pulled
after the first four batters
reached base on three walks
and an error. Two of those
baserunners scored, including Smith by error and Sloan
on Hughes’s single. In relief,
Chase Holdbrooks stepped
in to record a bases-loaded
double play and a popup to
hold the Bruins’ lead at 7-0.
The Panthers scored their
runs in the fourth, which
Plott opened with a walk to
Michael Hixson, who later
scored on a double by
Andrew Gaddis. Gaddis
also came around to score
on a fielder’s choice before
Plott escaped the inning.
But Plott got one of
those runs back when he
smacked a two-out double,
which allowed the pinchrunning Smith to score on
another Ridgeland error.
The Bruins wrapped the
game up in the fifth with four
runs on four walks and a single, with Micah Hollifield,
Bradley Stevenson, Core
Cole and Justin Walraven all
scoring.
Panthers coach Scott
Harden believed the game
was
decided
before
Ridgeland took the field.
“Our guys just weren’t
mentally prepared today,”
Harden said. “And I take full
blame for that. This game
was lost on the bus trip over,
to be honest with you. They
weren’t ready from the getgo because they thought the
game was going to be rained
out, so they weren’t prepared and made a lot of silly
mistakes.”
At the big meet
All-Stars will play
for charity today
The 12th edition of the
Make-A-Wish All-Star
Games are scheduled for
tonight at Christian
Heritage’s gymnasium in
Dalton.
Senior basketball players from area programs

Larkin relishes chance to play skipper for U.S. team
MIAMI (AP) — Barry Larkin will
pinch hit as manager Saturday for the
United States in the World Baseball
Classic, and he says he’d be interested in a full-time job as a skipper.
“If I could get players like these
guys, absolutely,” Larkin said Friday
following the team’s workout in
SPORTS BRIEFS
Larkin will fill in for U.S. manager Davey Johnson, who is in St.
Petersburg to attend the wedding of
his stepson and is expected to rejoin
the team Sunday.
“I’m excited, but this is Davey
Johnson’s team,” said Larkin, a 12time All-Star shortstop whose only
managerial experience was with an
Italian youth squad. “Davey has a
game plan. I’m going to execute the
game plan.”
That plan includes starting Jake
Peavy, who struggled through his
opening start last Saturday against
Canada.
JUPITER, Fla. —
Hanley Ramirez returned
from the World Baseball
Classic and doubled, stole
a base and scored a run in
the Florida Marlins’ 9-2
loss to the Atlanta Braves
on Friday.
Braves right fielder Jeff
Francoeur went 2-for-3
with two RBIs, and third
baseman Omar Infante hit a
two-run home run off Sean
West in a six-run fifth.
West, a left-hander
who could make his major
league debut this year, had
his roughest outing of the
spring: six earned runs in
1 2/3 innings.
Atlanta right-hander
Tommy Hanson, a top
prospect who will start the
year in the minors,
allowed one earned run in
4 2/3 innings.

space, drop Holt
ST. LOUIS — The St.
Louis Rams released wide
receiver Torry Holt on
Friday, parting ways with
one of the last remaining
holdovers from their
“Greatest Show on Turf”
glory days.
The move came three
days after the Rams
released offensive tackle
Orlando Pace, another
mainstay from the era
when the Rams won their
only Super Bowl and lost
another on the game’s
final play. Both Holt and
Pace are seven-time Pro
Bowl selections.
Holt is 32 and Pace is
33 and combined, the
moves created $14 million
in salary cap space.

Mickelson holds lead
DORAL, Fla. — Phil
Mickelson chipped in for
another birdie and wound
up with a 6-under 66 on
Friday to build a two-shot
lead in the CA Championship, putting him in the last
group at Doral for the first
time in three years.
Tiger Woods was 10
shots behind Mickelson,
who was at 13-under 131.
“It kind of (stinks),”
Mickelson said. “I hope he
comes out tomorrow and
plays a great round and
makes a move. I would love
to get him back from ’05. I
came close in ’05 and got
beat, and I would love the
opportunity to play head-tohead.”
Rory McIlroy, the 19year-old from Northern
Ireland who is trying to
become the youngest PGA
Tour winner in history, finished with an eagle and a
birdie on two dangerous
holes for a 66 and was two
shots behind. He was tied
with 48-year-old Kenny
Perry, who has three children older than McIlroy.
Woods beat Mickelson
in an electric final round
four years ago at Doral that
came down to the last shot.

Phil Mickelson watches
his putt on the ninth
green on Friday at the
CA Championship. He.
has a two-shot lead in
the event.
They were paired again in
the last group in the third
round in 2006, and Woods
got the best of him again.
This time, however,
Woods looks like just another player in the field. He
again struggled with his distance control, the frustration
growing with every shot too
long or too short, leaving
him few birdie chances. He
made some progress,
though — a 70, one shot
better than the day before.
But he was at 3-under
141 and in a tie for 35th in
the 80-man field in this
World Golf Championship.
Told that Mickelson was
disappointed he could not
face Woods, the world’s
No. 1 player smiled.
“Me, too,” he said.
“What am I? Ten back?
That’s not a very good spot
to be in. Hopefully, tomorrow I can shoot a good
round and at least give
myself somewhat of a
chance going into Sunday.”
Prayad Marksaeng of
Thailand, who first struck a
golf ball with a club he fashioned from a bamboo stick
and bicycle tires, was atop
the leaderboard until a triple
bogey on the 18th hole.
AT&T Champions
In Santa Clarita, Calif.,
Joey Sindelar shot an 8under 64 to take a onestroke lead over two-time
winner Tom Purtzer in the
AT&T Champions Classic.
The 50-year-old
Sindelar, winless in 22 starts
on the Champions Tour
after winning seven times
on the PGA Tour, hasn’t
had a bogey in 38 holes.

Hawks top Pacers for fourth straight
ATLANTA
—
Joe
Johnson scored 30 points
for the third straight game,
and Al Horford finished
with 17 points and 15
rebounds in the Atlanta
Hawks’ fourth straight victory, 101-87 over the
Indiana Pacers on Friday
night.
Improving to 24-7 at
home, Atlanta increased its
lead over fifth-place Miami
to two games in the Eastern
Conference. The Hawks’ 38
wins are one more than their
total from last season, when
they advanced to the playoffs for the first time in nine
years.
Johnson has gone 33-for64 from the field in
Atlanta’s last three games to
average 30.3 points.
T.J. Ford, who scored
Indiana’s last 14 points, finished with 29. Troy Murphy
pulled down 14 rebounds —
all defensive — for the
Pacers, who have lost two
straight and three of four.
Atlanta never trailed
after Josh Smith’s two free
throws with 6:34 left in the
third gave the Hawks their
first lead since 4 1/2 minutes remained in the first.
Horford’s three-point play
with 4:43 to play in the
game made it 92-75.
A rebound dunk by
Hibbert with 8:12 left in the
second matched the Pacers’
biggest lead at 13, but
Johnson hit an 18-footer in
the final minute before halftime to make it 48-45.

The ideal
goal
in
bridge is to
establish a
“heads I win,
tails
you
lose” position.
Consider
this
deal
played
by
Bruce Bell,
New Zealand
star. He got
to
four
spades and
ordinarily
would have
made
the
contract easily. However,
since
East
happened to
have all three
m i s s i n g
spades and the guarded queen of clubs as well, it might
seem that the contract was doomed. But Bell made his
game anyway, and, what’s more, there was nothing the
defenders could do to stop him.
West led the king of diamonds, which Bell ducked.
If West had now shifted to a club, declarer, after learning of the 3-0 trump division, could have avoided a second diamond loser by establishing dummy’s fourth
club.
But West led another diamond at trick two, taken by
the ace, and when Bell next cashed the ace of trumps,
he learned that East had a trump trick coming. It looked
as though the contract would now depend on winning a
club finesse, but Bell found a way to make 10 tricks
without the finesse.
At trick four, he played the ace of hearts and continued by ruffing a heart in dummy. He then exited with a
diamond, won by West with the jack.
West could do no better than return a club, taken
with the ace. Bell then played the K-x of trumps, saddling East with the lead and rendering him helpless.
East had to return a club or yield a ruff-and-discard,
either of which gave South the contract.
The endplay developed by Bell was typical of the
“heads I win, tails you lose” position. No matter how
East-West defended, Bell had a countermeasure available that would get him home safely.
CRYPTOQUIP
COLLEGE BASKETBALL: SEC TOURNAMENT ROUNDUP
Mississippi State moves on
Loss leaves
Wildcats in
a tight spot
■ No. 20 LSU 67,
Kentucky 58: Marcus
Thornton scored 21 points
and LSU beat Kentucky 6758 to advance to the SEC
tourney semifinals, most
likely ending the Wildcats’
streak of NCAA appearances at 17.
Thornton, the SEC player
of the year, keyed a 10-2
spurt to enable the Tigers
(26-6) to open a 14-point,
second-half lead and nearly
outscored Kentucky’s highscoring tandem of Jodie
Meeks and Patrick Patterson
by himself.
Kentucky (20-13) entered
the tournament feeling it had
to win it all to extend its
string of consecutive NCAA
appearances. The Wildcats
last missed the NCAA tournament in 1991 and haven’t
played in the NIT since 1979.
Patterson led Kentucky
with 15 points and 10
rebounds. Meeks had a season-low eight points on 3for-9 shooting.
■ Tennessee 86,
Alabama 62: Tyler Smith
scored 22 points and Wayne
Chism added 15 Friday
night to lead Tennessee in a
rout of cold-shooting
Alabama.
The Volunteers (20-11)
avenged a regular-seasonending home loss to the
Crimson Tide, building an
11-point lead before going
on a 17-0 run to start the
second half. They’ll face
Auburn or Florida in today’s
semifinals.
Tennessee won easily
despite horrendous 3-point
shooting (4 of 24, 16.7 percent).
But the Volunteers were
31-for-48 (64.5 percent)
inside the arc, with Smith,
Chism and J.P. Prince, who
scored 14, doing most of the
damage.
Mikhail Torrance led
Alabama (18-14) with 13
points.
The Volunteers led 43-32
at halftime.
ACC: Injured Lawson watches Heels from bench

Mississippi State’s Barry Stewart is sent flying on a
foul by South Carolina’s Devan Downey during their
Southeastern Conference tournament game on
Friday in Tampa, Fla. Mississippi State won, 82-68.
Kitchen took the inbound
pass from Luke Loucks and
immediately drove to the
basket. Kitchen scored and
was fouled by Alade Aminu
on his reverse layup. Kitchen
made the free throw.
“For Luke to have confidence in me to pass the ball,
that was big,” Kitchen said.
“I saw I had a clear path to
the basket.”
■ No. 1 North Carolina
79, Virginia Tech 76: Tyler
Hansbrough scored 28
points and made a disputed
defensive stop in the final
seconds as North Carolina
avoided by holding off
Virginia Tech.
The Tar Heels, playing
without injured ACC player
of the year Ty Lawson, got
all they could handle from
the Hokies.
But Hansbrough scored
the go-ahead basket with
36.1 seconds left — the
12th lead change of the second half — and then he tied
up J.T. Thompson in the
lane for a jump ball that
gave North Carolina (28-3)
possession with 5.2 seconds
to go. Coach Seth
Greenberg of Virginia Tech
(18-14) threw his jacket in
disgust, believing Thompson
was fouled.
Hansbrough was fouled
on the inbounds, made two
free throws and A.D.
TAMPA, Fla. — Those
other Bulldogs, the ones led
by shot-blocker Jarvis
Varnado and his 3-point
shooting teammates, are making a run in the Southeastern
Conference tournament.
Barry Stewart scored a
season-high 21 points, most
of them from behind the arc,
and Mississippi State beat
South Carolina 82-68 Friday
in the quarterfinals.
The Bulldogs, the West’s
No. 3 seed, gave the tournament it first upset, something
that happened often last year
when the struggling Georgia
Bulldogs won four games in
three days and earned a spot
in the NCAA field.
Vassallo, who scored 26
points to lead Virginia Tech,
missed a 3-pointer at the
buzzer that would have
forced overtime.
The Tar Heels avoided the
upset bug that already has
claimed four of the nation’s
top 11 teams: No. 2
Pittsburgh, No. 3
Connecticut, No. 6 Oklahoma
and No. 11 Kansas all lost in
the opening game of their
conference tournaments.
North Carolina looked like
the next to fall. Virginia Tech,
which knocked off Miami in
Thursday’s first round, played
with the passion of a team
that knew it probably needed
at least one more win to earn
an NCAA spot.
Mississippi State could
make it another Bulldog
bounty. To do so, though,
the Bulldogs will have to
knock off No. 20 LSU. The
Tigers, the league’s regularseason champion, won both
meetings this season.
“It’ll be a very difficult
challenge for us, but we’re
glad we’re around to do it,”
Mississippi State coach Rick
Stansbury said.
The Bulldogs (21-12)
overcame a 10-point deficit
to stick around, extending
their winning streak to four
games and possibly eliminating the Gamecocks (21-9)
from NCAA consideration.
South Carolina has lost
three of four down the
stretch, a skid that could offset the team’s strong RPI
(No. 49) during the selection process.
The Gamecocks felt like
they let this one slip away.
They had a double-digit lead
early and a four-point
advantage at halftime.
The Hokies led through
most of the first half, before
North Carolina rallied for a
43-42 lead at the break.
After nine lead changes in
the first 7 minutes of the
second half, Vassallo
knocked down back-to-back
3-pointers and Virginia Tech
pushed the margin as high as
six points a couple of times.
■ Maryland 75, No. 9
Wake Forest 64: Greivis
Vasquez scored 22 points
and the Maryland Terrapins
advanced to the semifinals
with an upset of Wake
Forest, which was doomed
by its worst shooting performance of the season.
Maryland (20-12) pulled
away from a 36-31 halftime
lead as the Demon Deacons
(24-6) missed time and time
again, finishing at 29.7 percent from the field. The
Terps made up for a 65-63
loss to Wake Forest 10 days
earlier and won for the second straight night, following
up a win over N.C. State.
They’ll play Duke or
Boston College in the semis,
giving them yet another
chance to impress the
NCAA tournament selection
committee. James Johnson
led Wake Forest with 20
points. The Demon Deacons
have already done plenty to
land an NCAA bid, but the
one-and-done showing at
the Georgia Dome could
hurt their seeding.
