Sosebee indicted on 6 counts
BY MARK MILLICAN
[email protected]
CHATSWORTH — A Murray
County grand jury has indicted
Rhonda Sosebee in the death of her
ex-husband, Steven Lee Young, 37,
formerly of Valley Road.
Sosebee, 44, will face one count
of murder, one count of felony
murder, two counts of aggravated
assault, one count of stalking and
one count of possession of a
firearm by a first offender.
The true bill for the alleged
murder
that
took place on
Feb. 12 or 13
was posted on
We d n e s d a y.
Sosebee’s public defender,
Anna Johnson,
said the case
was “rushed”
to the grand Sosebee
jury before she
could get a look at the evidence
against her client. She says she will
now have to wait until 10 days
before trial during the discovery
period to see evidence.
Johnson also said she has been
refused medical records on
Sosebee — who has a gunshot
wound and had a finger amputated
a day after her March 12 arrest in
Calhoun — on two occasions by
the sheriff’s office, as well as evidence into alleged stolen guns that
were part of an insurance fraud
case against Young.

draw attention to a plan to abolish the
income tax, close the Internal
Revenue Service and create a national sales tax. They’ll be marching outside the post office on Thornton
Avenue.
“We won’t be on the post office
property. We’ll be on the sidewalks,”
said Mike Warlick, 9th District chairman for Fair Tax from Dahlonega.
Warlick said a 23-cent national
sales tax on new goods and services
for personal consumption could
replace all federal taxes — income,
estate, Social Security, Medicare and
all the rest. It would remain revenue
neutral, meaning the federal government would take in as much as it does
now from all those various taxes.
He said the fair tax proposal calls
for all American households to get a
monthly “prebate” to help them buy
necessities. The amount of the prebate would be the annual poverty
level income, as determined by the
federal government, multiplied by the
fair tax rate and divided by 12. Each
household head with a valid Social
Security number would qualify for
the prebate.

Victim needs O-negative blood
BY MARK MILLICAN
[email protected]
By the end of the week Clark
Phillips may have to endure three
surgeries as a result of his motorcycle accident on Fort Mountain
Sunday afternoon. The 25-yearold Chatsworth man also needs
donations of O-negative blood, his
wife says.
“He’s in surgery (Wednesday)
and is scheduled again (today),”
said Tiana Phillips. “He came very
close to losing his leg. He’s also
going into skin graft surgery on
Friday or Saturday, and he’s in
desperate need of O-negative
blood.”
A spokeswoman at Erlanger
Hospital in Chattanooga said
Phillips was in “critical” condition
Wednesday afternoon.
Phillips was riding his 2002
Yamaha when he lost control in a
curve and struck a guard rail, then
traveled 300 feet down the mountain, his wife said.
The Blood Assurance in Dalton
at 100 W. Walnut Ave. (Bry-Man’s
Plaza North) is handling donations. Their clinic hours are 8 a.m.
to 6 p.m. on weekdays and 9 a.m.
to 2 p.m. on Saturdays.
Appointments are preferred by
calling 800-962-0628, but they
will also take walk-ins, a spokeswoman said.

Hostage
standoff
continues
NAIROBI, Kenya (AP)
— In a riveting high-seas
drama,
an
unarmed
American crew wrested control of their U.S.-flagged
cargo ship from Somali
pirates Wednesday and sent
them fleeing to a lifeboat
with the captain as hostage.
The
destroyer
USS
Bainbridge, one of a half
d o z e n
wa r s h i p s
that headed for the
a r e a ,
arrived at
the scene
Thursday
morning a
Phillips
few hours
before
dawn, said Kevin Speers, a
spokesman for the company
that owns the Maersk
Alabama. He said the boat
with the pirates was floating
near the ship, the first with an
American crew to be taken by
pirates off the Horn of Africa.
Speers said officials were
waiting to see what happens
when the sun comes up.
Crew members had been
negotiating with the pirates
Wednesday for the return of
the captain.
A family member said
Capt. Richard Phillips surrendered himself to the
pirates to secure the safety of
the crew.
“What I understand is that
he offered himself as the
hostage,” said Gina Coggio,
29, half sister of Phillips’
wife. “That is what he would
do. It’s just who he is and his
responsibility as a captain.”
Details of the day’s events
emerged sporadically as
members of the crew were
reached by satellite phone,
providing a glimpse of the
maneuvering.
A sailor who spoke to The
Associated Press said the
entire 20-member crew had
been taken hostage but managed to seize one pirate and
then successfully negotiated
their own release. The man
did not identify himself during the brief conversation.
The crisis played out hundreds of miles off the coast of
Somalia — one of the most
lawless nations on earth.
President Barack Obama was
following the situation closely, foreign policy adviser
Denis McDonough said.
The Maersk Alabama was
the sixth vessel seized by
Somali pirates in a week.
Pirates have staged 66
attacks since January, and
they are still holding 14 ships
and 260 crew members as
hostages.

Role of ‘good’ fat studied
Fight fat with fat? The
newest obesity theory suggests we may one day be
able to do just that. Just like
good and bad cholesterol,
there apparently are good
and bad types of body fat.
Scientists until recently
believed this good fat, which
spurs the body to burn calories to generate body heat,
played an important role in
keeping infants warm but by
adulthood was mostly gone
or inactive.
Now three studies —
from researchers in Boston,
Finland and the Netherlands
— show that some good fat
remains in adults, affecting
metabolism and potentially
offering a target to help people shed pounds.
Dr. Francesco Celi, an
endocrinology and metabolism researcher at the
National
Institute
of
Diabetes and Digestive and
Kidney Diseases, said the
studies show this fat burns
large amounts of energy.
“So it could be used as a
target” for a pill that would
somehow rev up the fat, he
said.

Sosebee: Indicted
BRIEFS
U.S. will take part
in talks with Iran
➣ Continued from page 1A
WASHINGTON — The
Obama administration said
Wednesday it will participate directly in group talks
with Iran over its suspect
nuclear program, another
significant shift from
President George W. Bush’s
policy toward a nation he
labeled part of an axis of
evil. The State Department
said the United States would
be at the table “from now
on” when senior diplomats
from the five permanent
members of the U.N.
Security Council and
Germany meet with Iranian
officials to discuss the
nuclear issue. The Bush
administration had generally
shunned such meetings,
although it attended one last
year.
First funerals for
quake victims begin
L’AQUILA, Italy —
Bells tolled in hilltowns
across central Italy on
Wednesday as the first
funerals got under way for
victims of the country’s devastating earthquake. The
Vatican granted a dispensation so a funeral Mass for
most of the 272 dead could
be celebrated on Good
Friday. As more bodies were
pulled from the rubble, some
of the 28,000 homeless
spent another day lining up
for food and water at some
of the 20 tent camps that
have sprouted up around this
quake-devastated city. Pope
Benedict XVI said he would
visit the area soon. Rescue
efforts continued for the 15
people still missing, but officials began discussing
rebuilding the stricken
region and reopening
schools.
Police seek killer
of girl in suitcase
TRACY, Calif. — Police
have served more than 15
search warrants in their
attempt to hunt down whoever killed an 8-year-old girl
and stuffed her body in a
suitcase, but say they “don’t
want to rush to judgment”
and so far have no suspects
in the case. Sgt. Tony
Sheneman said everyone has
been cooperative, but he
declined to give many details
about who was questioned
and why, and what was
seized during searches of a
local church and mobile
home park. Sandra Cantu
was last seen alive March
27, when she was caught on
a surveillance video skipping
down a street near her home
at Orchard Estates Mobile
Home Park. A massive
search ended Monday when
her body was discovered
stuffed in a suitcase that was
dumped into a pond only a
few miles from her home.
MARTA riders call
for special session
ATLANTA — A dozen
Atlanta Democratic legislators and hundreds of
MARTA riders rallied in
downtown Atlanta to call for
a special session of the
Georgia Legislature to solve
the transit system’s funding
problems. MARTA officials
have called for a special session for legislation that
would allow them to tap into
their reserves. The system is
considering cutting services
as it grapples with a $24
million budget shortfall.

DPD earns certification
The Dalton Police Department has been
recertified by the Georgia Association of
Police Chiefs. Dalton was one of the first
departments in the state to be certified back
in 1999, and it is one of just 93 agencies in
the state to hold certification. Departments
must be recertified every three years.
Association executive director Frank
Rotondo congratulated the department
Monday at a meeting of the Dalton City
Council. He presented a special award to
Sgt. Chris Cooke, who oversaw the department’s recertification effort. He said
Cooke was one of the “top three or four”
people who perform that service in the
state.
Truck driver crushed to death
BY HEATHER GENTRY
The Catoosa County News
A Ringgold man was
killed Tuesday when the load
on his lumber truck shifted
and crushed him.
Terry Broom, an experienced truck driver from
Ringgold, was driving along
U.S. 41 near Clark Road
when the wreck occurred
about 3:20 p.m., said Cpl.
D.C. Gleaton with the
Georgia State Patrol post in
Dalton.
Clark Road is near the
Catoosa-Whitfield County
line.
Broom, who has been
with the lumber company for
20 years, suddenly applied
his brakes, causing his load
of boards to shift. As of
Wednesday morning, it was
not clear why he suddenly hit
the brakes, Gleaton said.
Skid marks totaled 304
feet at the wreck scene, he
said. The skid marks are in a
straight line, which tells
investigators that no evasive
maneuvering was involved,
indicating that another car
was not involved.
Two witnesses did not see
another vehicle. “It leaves us
asking why he slammed on
his brakes,” Gleaton said.
The corporal said one
possibility could be that
Broom heard the straps that
held the boards break, and
the noise startled him. One
witness said she heard the
straps break, while the other
saw the boards sliding forward.
Tax: Protest rally April 15
Taxes on any item would
be charged the first time it is
sold, and never again. So
those who buy, for instance,
a used car or used house
would not pay the sales tax.
Sales of exported goods
would also not be taxed.
Warlick said adopting the
fair tax would increase economic growth in the United
States.
Three Houston business
owners started the Fair Tax
movement in 1994, said
Warlick, with each pledging
$1.5 million to hire experts
to identify the faults with the
current system, to determine
what American citizens
would like to see in tax
reform, and then to design
the best system of taxation.
The idea caught the eye of
U.S. Rep. John Linder, RGa.
“He said ‘I like it, but it’s
missing one thing. The crit-
ics will say it’s unfair to people at or below the poverty
level,’” Warlick said. “So he
added the prebate to it. It
effectively untaxes people
when they buy essential
products and services.”
Linder has authored
House Resolution 25, which
would turn the fair tax into
law if passed.
Warlick said he first
became a supporter of the
idea after hearing about it on
Neal Boortz’s radio show.
Abney: A promising teacher
two years ago when she
decided her other job was too
physically demanding.
Now she delivers test
reviews in iPod format, has
helped developed a bookless
science curriculum that relies
heavily on Internet resources,
and is all about hands-on
learning — showing an Xray machine, for instance, or
talking about the eight
patients she lost to cancer —
that draws from her professional medical experience.
Her students get a 25-cent
cup of coffee, tea or hot
chocolate in the morning to
stimulate their brains and are
allowed to move freely about
the classroom. The days of
sitting in desks all day and
learning only from thick,
often outdated textbooks are
over, Bailey says.
Senior Kelsey Fowler,
who plans to become a neurosurgeon, says students
appreciate the freedom.
Some teachers are like robots
who give no thought to their
tasks, but “that’s not Abney
at all,” she said.
For one thing there are the
jokes that she tacks to the end
of her iPod lessons. Take the
one about the police officer
who investigated the collision between the snail and
the turtle.
“The snail said, ‘I don’t
know (what happened), it all
happened so fast,’” Abney
said.
Bailey said Abney’s focus

“Everyone has been compliant, but the Murray County

LETTERS
To the editor:
For most people, buying a home is the most significant
investment of their lives. And in spite of the doubt and confusion clouding the financial markets and news headlines,
there are many genuine real estate opportunities – especially
for first-time buyers. With the new federal tax credit it is now
one of the best opportunities ever to pursue the American
dream of homeownership.
In February, the American Recovery and Reinvestment
Act was signed into law to provide a stimulus to the U.S.
economy. Included in this plan was an $8,000 federal tax
credit for first time homebuyers toward the purchase of a
principal residence between Jan. 1, 2009, and Dec. 1, 2009.
This tax credit is called a “refundable tax credit.” Thus if
the eligible purchaser’s total tax liability was $2,000 the IRS
would send the purchaser a check for $6,000. The refundable
amount is the difference between the $8,000 credit amount
and the amount of the tax liability.
The best thing about this credit is you can get it now!
Eligible homebuyers who make their purchase before Dec. 1
can treat their purchase as if it had occurred on December 31,
2008. Thus they can claim the credit on their 2008 tax return
that is due April 15. Actually you have three options:
If they purchase between Jan. 1 and April 15 they can
claim the credit on the return due April 15.
They can file an extension for their 2008 income tax filing
until as late as Oct. 15. (The IRS grants automatic extensions,
but the taxpayer must file the extension.)
If the homebuyer has already filed their 2008 tax return
before they purchase the home, they may file an amended
2008 tax return on Form 1040X (Available at www.irs.gov)
So, even if you have filed your 2008 tax return you can
still purchase a home now and benefit from the tax credit.
Also, most tax services can file electronically and you could
get this refund within weeks of your amended tax return and
purchase.
The tax credit is available for first-time homebuyers or
those who have not owned a principal residence in the last
three years. The credit does not require repayment if the
homeowner stays in the home for more than three years. Any
home that is purchased for $80,000 or more qualifies for the
full $8,000 amount. If the home is purchased for less than
$80,000, the credit would be 10 percent of the purchase price.
The credit is phased out for individuals with adjusted gross
income of $75,000 or couples making more than $150,000.
A renewed and robust housing market will jumpstart the
economy, especially here locally and housing is critical to the
long-term health of the economy. Please tell your co-workers, family members and everyone else about the unbelievable opportunity for first-time homebuyers to purchase a
home.
Government lies
Most Americans accept
the continuing attack on
tobacco companies and
smokers, but how do they
feel about the massive government deception? In
1998, 46 state attorneys
general and major tobacco
companies
signed
the
Master
Settlement
Agreement.
The major tobacco companies agreed, among other
things, to give states $240
billion over 25 years to provide for smoking cessation
programs and cover the
health costs associated with
using their product.
In return state attorneys
general promised tobacco
companies that they wouldn’t sue them and would use
their lawmaking power to
protect the major tobacco
companies from competition from small tobacco
companies. Of the $80 billion extorted so far, states
have spent about 30 percent
on health, not all tobaccorelated, and less than 6 percent on smoking cessation
programs. Instead, state legislatures spent the bulk of
their tobacco money for
items such as museum
building, tax relief, rainyday funds and other expenditures having nothing to do
with tobacco or health.
The U.S. Congress’
deception was, and continues to be, a major player in
our financial meltdown. In
congressional
hearings,
before the meltdown, on the
soundness of Fannie Mae
and Freddie Mac, Rep.
Maxine
Waters
said,
“Through nearly a dozen
hearings, we were frankly
trying to fix something that
wasn’t
broke.
Mr.
Chairman, we do not have a
crisis at Freddie Mac, and
particularly at Fannie Mae,
under the
outstanding leadership
of
Franklin
Raines.”
R e p .
Barney
Frank, the
ranking
Democrat
on
the
Walter
Financial
Williams S e r v i c e s
Committee, said, “These two entities — Fannie Mae and
Freddie Mac — are not facing any kind of financial crisis. The more people exaggerate these problems, the
more pressure there is on
these companies, the less
we will see in terms of
affordable housing.”
Other congressmen gave
similar assurances.
Unfortunately for our
nation, the forces pushing
for “affordable” housing
won the day and saddled us
with today’s unprecedented
financial disaster. How stupid is it of us to ask those
who brought us “affordable” housing to now turn
their attention to bringing us
“affordable” health care?
Congressional deception
about government finances
means today’s children will
face a financial disaster that
will make today’s mess
seem like a walk in the park.
Mike Whalen, former
policy chairman of the
Dallas-based
National
Center for Policy Analysis,
commenting on last year’s
Social Security Trustees
annual report on the state of
the Social Security and
Medicare programs, said,
“The report on the state of
entitlement programs is
rather grim — the combined
unfunded liabilities of both
programs are $101 trillion.”
What that means is that
in order for government to
make good on its promises,
Congress would have to put
aside tens of trillions of dollars in the bank today. Keep
in mind that our GDP is
only $14 trillion.
In the absence of massive
tax increases or cuts in benefits, in order to meet its
promises Congress must
cease spending on one in
four programs by 2020,
such as education and highway construction, and one
in two by 2030, and by 2050
or so all federal revenue will
be spent supporting Social
Security, Medicare and prescription drug benefits.
Such a scenario is unsustainable. There will be economic and political chaos.
Today’s politicians are
not likely to take measures
to avoid the coming chaos
because senior citizens, the
major beneficiaries of
Social
Security
and
Medicare, vote in large
numbers and will exact a
high political price. Plus,
neither today’s senior citizens nor today’s politicians
will be alive in 2050. I’d be
more optimistic if my fellow Americans were simply
suffering from congressional deception as opposed to
their not caring about the
economic calamity that
awaits.
I’d be even more optimistic if today’s seniors
started putting heat on
Congress to allow those
Americans who want nothing to do with Social
Security to opt out.

A tribute to Myrtis Deck, R.N.
To the editor:
Back in the 50’s, a young girl would be late for school and
walk out the road to use the phone to call a cab. A nurse lived
at the house and would usually say, “I’m going to work. I’ll
drop you by school.” I was a student at Fort Hill School at
that time. We would talk a little. She knew where I lived out
the road, and this is how I met Miss Deck.
When I was in high school Miss Deck and Mrs. Joyce
came from the Health Department to Miss Effie Bagby’s
home economics class to teach us how to bathe a baby. They
saw some possible nursing ability in me. I had little brothers
and a sister at home that I helped take care of sometime.
Miss Deck told me they were going to take a patient to
Atlanta on Saturday and would I like to go and see her nursing school, St. Joseph’s Infirmary. My mom and I got up really early to get me ready to go. Three nurses, the patient and
his mother, and I left early to take them to their medical
appointment. Then we toured St. Josephs’s, shopped at
Lenox, and ate at a nice restaurant. It was a memorable day
for me with a lot to think about. As a senior in high school,
when I was getting ready to go off to school, Miss Deck got
a loan for me from the Pilot’s Club where she was a member.
She also requested a loan from the school of nursing for my
tuition. I did receive that loan which was paid in full that
Christmas by an anonymous donor.
No, I didn’t get to go to St. Joseph’s, but to Georgia
Baptist Hospital School of Nursing instead — class of 1961.
Miss Deck was very encouraging and came to see me once
when I was in Atlanta. That was special to me.
As I look back over the past 50 plus years, I want to be as
helpful in taking the initiative to help point someone in a
direction that could be life changing, the way Myrtis Deck
did for me. What a wonderful person and a great caring nurse
she was!

Obama points to wrong future
You write columns, you get emails, and what some tell you is that
capitalism is a failure, that people are
suffering and what we need is Obamastyle socialism — virtually unfettered
government taking over everything
that moves and spending at a rate that
could add something like $9 trillion to
our debt over the next decade.
The first response has to be that we
are now facing is essentially a blip, an
exception, not the rule, and that yes it
is painful but not nearly as painful as
socialist societies are practically all of
the time and for just about everyone,
except for the authoritarians running
things.
Free enterprise economies have
transformed the world, as the scholar
Michael Novak observed in "The
Spirit of Democratic Capitalism."
"Of all the systems of political
economy which have shaped our history," he wrote, "none has so revolutionized ordinary expectations of
human life — lengthened the life
span, made the elimination of poverty
and famine thinkable, enlarged the
range of human choice — as democratic capitalism."
To him, a vital point is not just that
the market economy as it evolved in
Great Britain and the United States
some 200-plus years ago vastly
increased our wealth, but that this way
of doing things shoved dictatorial
government aside and emerged as the
only economic system "compatible in
practice" with political democracy.
You can't pretend to have a rightsrespecting, free society if in one huge,
very important arena
of that society, you
strangle rights and
freedom.
I've used the word
"system" here, but
free enterprise is less
a system than simply
saying to people they
can engage in material transactions with
each other under cerJay
tain rules of the
Ambrose game. "Give me that
which I want, and
you shall have this
that you want," is the way the 18th
century's Adam Smith summed it up,
as an economist named Thomas
DiLorenzo has reminded us.
Socialism rarely solves much of
anything, except possibly in the short
term. India and China have discovered
as much and — despite the moment's
troubles — are prospering in ways
unachievable under a command economy. To save themselves from destinies ordained by their semi-socialist
proclivities, France and Germany
chose relatively conservative leaders
the last time out. Contrast this with
socialist dictator of Venezuela, Hugo
Chavez, who has stripped away basic
rights while further afflicting the poor.
A better example, some say, is the
socialism of Scandinavia, which has
given the countries there oh so much
bliss. The fact is that the Scandinavian
countries are not strictly speaking
socialist. They keep corporate taxes
lower than ours, don't regulate much,
believe in free trade. They do have a
massive welfare state with unbelievably high taxes, and the consequence
can be pretty gruesome, as is shown
by statistics about relatively low productivity and by personal testimony.
"In Oslo," wrote Bruce Bawer of
Norway's capital in a New York Times
piece a couple of years ago, "library
collections are woefully outdated, and
public swimming pools are in desperate need of maintenance. News reports
describe serious shortages of police
officers and school supplies."
We could get that way, too, if we
expand a welfare state in which the
federal government already provides
"significant income" to 52.6 percent
of Americans through jobs, subsidized
housing, food stamps, Social Security
and other means, according to a news
account of findings by economist
Gary Shilling.
Obama has big, big plans along
those lines, on top of now dictating
how the auto industry should operate,
figuring out ways to seize companies,
devising extensive regulatory schemes
and spending extraordinary sums as
the only possible means of relief from
our current economic travails.
Some of this may be temporary.
Much of it may not be.

Chief Ranger Gallman
retires after 30 years
SUBMITTED BY GEORGIA
FORESTRY COMMISSION
Whitfield-Catoosa County chief
forest ranger senior Jimmy Gallman
retired March 1 after 30 years and
seven months service with the
Georgia Forestry Commission.
Gallman began his career with
the Georgia Forestry Commission
in Pickens County on Aug. 7, 1978,
working for 15 months before
transferring to Whitfield County as
a forest patrolman on Nov. 1, 1979.
He was promoted to chief ranger of
Whitfield County on April 1, 1986,
and then chief ranger senior in
1989. On April 1, 2006, the
Whitfield County unit was combined with the Catoosa County unit
and he was promoted to chief
ranger senior of both counties.
Gallman says during his career
he helped fight approximately
5,000 wildfires ranging from oneone hundredth of an acre to 1,200
acres across North Georgia. The
largest was a 200,000-acre fire at
Los Padres National Forest in
California in July 1985 which cost
more than $1 million per day to
fight. Gallman also assisted
approximately 400 to 500 landowners do prescribed burning on their
property ranging from one-tenth of
an acre to 300 acres.
During his career, Gallman participated in hundreds of school programs, teaching students the importance of trees and the role they play
in our lives. He planted thousands
of seedlings and saplings, and
assisted Smokey Bear hundreds of
times at schools and churches and
other public places throughout
Dalton and Whitfield County.
Gallman said it has been a pleasure to serve the people of Whitfield
County and he has met and worked
with thousands of nice people
throughout that he would otherwise
not have known.
He says a special thanks to all of
the firemen with the Whitfield
County, Dalton and Cohutta fire
departments who helped make his
job easier.
Now that he is retired, Gallman
plans to enjoy gardening, beekeeping, metal detecting, coon hunting
and baby-sitting his twin 6-year-old
grandsons, Noah and Braeden.
The Whitfield County-Dalton Day
Care Center will host its annual spring
fundraiser tonight from 7 to 10 at Trevitt
Hall in downtown Dalton. The event,
called “The Chocolate Factory,” will
feature live entertainment, a silent auction, food and fellowship.
All proceeds will go to the day care
center, a local nonprofit that provides
experienced and licensed care to children. Local restaurants are participating
by donating food and desserts.
Tickets are $40. For tickets call (706)
278-8991 or e-mail [email protected]. They will also be
available at the door.

Student among culinary winners Guest at Rotary
SUBMITTED BY LE
CORDON BLEU COLLEGE
OF CULINARY ARTS
A Whitfield Career
Academy
student
was
among the winners of the 3rd
Annual Le Cordon Bleu
Schools North America
Market Basket Competition
in Atlanta recently. Ten
future students participated
in the semi-annual event on
March 21 and three
Georgians received scholarships to attend the Atlanta
culinary school.
Stephanie Diak, of the

in Dalton, competed against
nine other contestants from
across the state. At the pastry
scholarship competition held
at LCB Atlanta, Diak wowed
the judges with her Poached
Pear with White Chocolate
Mousse, using only the components of a “market basket.” Stephanie earned a
$2,500 scholarship and is
currently enrolled in the culinary school’s associates
degree program. She intends
to pursue a career as a pastry
chef.
The Le Cordon Bleu
Market Basket Competition
takes place twice yearly at 14

began with an essay and concluded with an intense
kitchen challenge at Le
Cordon Bleu Atlanta.

“The participants demonstrated the passion necessary
to pursue a career in culinary
arts, “said Don Jones, director of admissions, “and we
are looking forward to providing Tori, Deanna and
Stephanie with the opportunity to learn the fundamentals of French cuisine.”
Southeast FFA says fill it with food
SUBMITTED BY THE
SOUTHEAST HIGH SCHOOL
FFA PROGRAM
Could you imagine the
looks on people’s faces if an
entire cattle trailer pulled up
in front of their home or shelter with food? In today’s economic situation, more and
more families are in need of
the support of kind neighbors.
Members of the Southeast
FFA program aspire to be
such a neighbor as they rapid-
ly collect food items for donation.
The Georgia FFA Alumni
is sponsoring a national program called the Million Can
Challenge. FFA programs
across the state are asked to
bring contributions to the state
FFA convention in Macon for
donation to the middle
Georgia food bank. The chapter with the greatest number
of items will be awarded a
$550 Washington Leadership
Conference (WLC) scholar-
ship. The target is the middle
Georgia area because due to
the peanut incidents much of
their shelves were wiped
clean and disposed of.
Members of the Southeast
FFA are highly interested in
attending the 2009 WLC,
which is why they have
increased their community
service efforts. Collections
are being made until April 23
throughout the school, and
organizers would like to invite
any and all community mem-
bers who are able to donate
items as well. If ample products are collected our goal is
to fill our bumper pull cattle
trailer.
For more information,
contact adviser Ginger
Bushey at (706) 876-7004 or
feel free to drop off during
school hours. Donations will
also be accepted during the
upcoming spring break
(Tuesday–Thursday from 8
a.m. to noon); other times
may be scheduled.

Nowadays, nearly all pair events at
sectional and higher-rated
tournaments use computer-generated hands,
which allows the
same hands to be
played at hundreds
of tables. But since
the introduction of
this practice in
1963, many players
have complained
that such deals are
not “normal” —
that is, the distribution of the cards is
not in accordance
with expected probabilities.
Nothing could
be further from the truth, however. In fact, as has been
demonstrated in dozens of test trials since the first computer began spewing out hands, the deals generated by its random program are more in keeping with mathematical
expectations than those dealt by its less-than-perfect-shuffling human counterparts.
This is not to say, though, that the computer doesn’t produce a real doozy every now and then. Today’s deal, from
a tournament some years ago, provided a challenging test
in both the bidding and play.
North’s five-notrump bid was the “grand slam force”
agreeing on hearts as trump, and asked South to bid seven
if he held two of the top three heart honors. In this case,
where North knew his partner could not hold two such honors, the bid was designed to find out if South had the king.
South’s six-club response said that he didn’t have two top
honors, but he did have the ace or king, and North duly bid
the grand slam.
West led a club to dummy’s ace, and declarer cashed the
heart ace, disclosing the 4-0 trump split. Unfazed, South
continued with the club king, discarding a diamond, and
then ruffed a club in his hand. A low heart to dummy’s nine
was followed by the A-K and another diamond, establishing dummy’s 10-9 as declarer ruffed with the king.
The ace of spades was next cashed, South discarding
dummy’s last club, after which declarer led his remaining
heart to dummy’s ten. The queen of hearts then extracted
West’s jack, and the grand slam was home.
Oh, those computer deals!
Tomorrow: Bidding quiz.

Banish those tears,

a bit of a hangover from the end

the regular

away from

For one
thing, there’s
baseball, the upcoming NFL

from the lack of indoor court

little Hickory High’s run to

to make you root for the underdog without drowning too much
in the sentiment, a tough temptation for most writers and

Cats remain in control
Move to 5-0 in sub-region with rivalry win
INSIDE THE SECTION
BY ADAM KROHN
[email protected]
Colton Kinnamon is used to pitching against
— and beating — rival Northwest Whitfield, but
not in the fashion he and his Catamounts did on
Wednesday night.
The junior, who last year went 2-0 against the
Bruins, used 88 pitches to strike out 10 batters in
just four innings, good enough for a complete
game-performance because Dalton outscored
the Bruins 17-2 in front of the home crowd for
an easy mercy-rule win.
The Cats burned through three Bruins pitchers
— starter Jordan Darnell (two innings), Zane
Gordon (1/3 inning) and Jarrett Bruce (1/3
inning) — to put up six runs in the second inning,
four in the third and seven in the fourth, giving
Kinnamon more than enough to work with.
“I’m pretty familiar with their hitters and I
know what they’ve got,” said Kinnamon, who

kept the Bruins off balance with a mid-to-low80s fastball and a variety of breaking balls in the
mid-60s. “I just kept throwing strikes and my
defense backed me up.”
The region win puts the Cats (10-4, 5-0) in
the driver’s seat of Region 7-4A’s sub-region
“A” with what is essentially, considering
tiebreakers, a three-game lead over the thirdplace Bruins (10-6, 3-2) and a two-game lead
over second-place Sequoyah (4-1), whom
Dalton handled 8-1 Saturday at home.
“When they’re focused, you can see a big dif-
ference in the way they play,” Cats coach Bob
Brotherton said. “And you can tell right out of
the gate if they are or they aren’t. They were
tonight and they were against Sequoyah.”
The Cats mounted their attack in the second
inning when the first five batters reached base on
four singles and a fielder’s choice. An RBI single from Mitch Townsend and a two-run single
from Will Estes put Dalton ahead 3-0.
After Stryker Brown’s groundout, Toombs

Champs share thrill of victory
FROM STAFF REPORTS
Eastbrook’s Alex Rosillo celebrates after scoring a first-half
goal against Valley Point on Wednesday during the Whitfield
County Middle School Athletic League tournament title match.
The Mustangs won 3-1 to claim their third straight title.
Eastbrook Middle has made
winning boys soccer titles routine.
It’s a novel venture for New
Hope’s girls.
But the thrill of being the best
was there for both teams in this
year’s Whitfield County Middle
School Athletic League championships on Wednesday at Valley
Point.
Eastbrook finished a third consecutive undefeated season with a
3-1 victory against Valley Point,
while New Hope claimed the first
girls championship in any sport for
the 3-year-old school with a 2-1
defeat of North Whitfield.

Augusta National a
test too rich for some
Associated Press Writer
AUGUSTA — The azaleas are
brighter than ever. As usual, not a
blade of grass is out of place.
Anticipation is higher than it has
been in years at the Masters, with
Tiger Woods a winner again after
knee surgery and Padraig Harrington
going for a third straight major.
But the buzz at Augusta
National has been tempered by
three years of more teeth-gnashing
than fist-pumping.
Birdies have been replaced by
bogeys. Players are becoming more
vocal in their criticism of a course
that has produced so much excite-
ment from so many charges over
the years. They say it has become
too long, too tough.
The cathedral of golf is starting
to remind Masters chairman Billy
Payne of a concert.
“Criticism hurts a little bit,”
Payne said Wednesday. “It’s like
when you go to a piano recital of
one of your granddaughters and
you hear somebody say, ’Boy,
that’s the worst kid I’ve ever seen.’
It hurts your feelings.”
Payne responded by making the
course shorter — by 10 yards.

The Green Waves finished with

“We built a lot of experience
this season,” Valley Point coach
Todd Derham said. “They had to
trust themselves and at the end, in
the last four games, they really
gained confidence in their play.
The championship on the boys
side is really a testament to what
south end soccer s all about and
how Southeast is going to prosper
by these two teams.”

“We’ve gotten better through
the year,” Mustangs coach Ralph
Noble said. “And we have a lot of
depth and a lot of really good
players who love to play. That’s
the bottom line. They love the
game of soccer and it shows when
they play. They play with joy.”
Jorge Hurtado, Marcos
Arendondo and Alex Castruitas

Mustangs — who won each of their

strong defense and Abel Mendiola

Raul Ibanez hit a two-run

Garcia and Anahy Rangel,
who converted a direct kick
from about 30 yards out,
while Gracie Holmes was in
goal for the title victory and
stopped a North Whitfield
penalty kick in the second
half.
“We had a lot of new
players this year, even a lot
of eighth graders who hadn’t
come out for prior years,”
said second-year Lady
Kodiaks coach Kim Smyth,
formerly an assistant at
Northwest Whitfield. “I
wasn’t sure what we were
up against, but once I saw
them on the field, I knew we
would have a team that
would do a little more.
“We grew from the first
year to the second year and I
knew we had the potential to
grow a little more. I’m really
proud of them — to be at
this point, they’ve come a
long way in three years.”
Regina Pacheco’s penalty
kick tied the match less than
10 minutes into the second
half, but Rangel responded
shortly after that.
The Lady Pioneers went
5-8, with their semifinal
upset of Eastbrook, the tourney’s No. 1 seed, no doubt a
highlight.
“We started real slow
today and I think we were a
little bit nervous about playing in our first championship as a team,” North
Whitfield coach Brian
Decker said. “But the second half they really picked it
up and played extremely
well, so I was proud of
them. I know they’re disappointed, but the eighth
graders in particular have
really helped turn the program around.
“This is the first year
we’d won a game. It’s a
great accomplishment for
the kids who stuck with the
program through the lean
times.”

seat big finish we’ve come
to expect from such tales.
Gene Hackman and Dennis
Hopper, of course, are perfect.
And that the 1986 film is
only very, very, very loosely
based on actual events from
Milan High’s 1954 season
takes nothing away from its
worth.
• “Hoop Dreams”: If it’s
actual events you’re looking
for, though, they don’t come
more real than this 1994 documentary’s devotion to following the basketball aspirations of two Chicago youths
over five years, from the time
when they believe just about
anything’s possible to the
time when they’re old
enough to start gripping the
reality of coming up short of
what seemed like such an
easy road to future stardom.
The movie raises questions about everything from
the value we place on the
worth of talented young athletes, only to take it away
when they falter, to the unforgiving nature of inner-city
life. One of the movie’s most
unforgettable scenes remains
the contrast of one player’s
outdoor pickup game and his
father’s drug deal happening
just around the corner.
This is the kind of movie
that’s rewarding because it is
hard to stomach at times, not
in spite of that fact. And it’s
worth popping into the DVD
player at least once a year.
• “Above the Rim”: This
one has the drama of
“Hoosiers” and the grit of
“Hoop Dreams” and remains
an underrated sports flick still
worth a look. I caught it late
one night on cable when, as a
college sophomore, it became
my excuse to put off studying
for a political science test for
a couple more hours.
The tale of an urban teen
torn between playing basketball for love of the game or
something more sinister, it’s
probably better known for a
soundtrack that contained
“Regulate,” a rap single you
couldn’t go anywhere without
hearing in the summer of ‘94.
But it’s got some nice
performances, including the
late Tupac Shakur — who,
say what you will about him
otherwise, shows some acting chops here — and
Bernie Mac, who plays a
fallen hoops star.
■ Speaking of sports
movies, one of the all-time
best scenes comes from the
ode to the going up-going
down juxtaposition of minor
league baseball, “Bull
Durham.” Crash Davis —
the lifer catcher, as portrayed
by Kevin Costner, who eventually picks up the somewhat
dubious record for career
homers in the minors — and
some of his teammates are
having a night out when they
decide the last thing they
need is a game the next day.
So Davis and his friends
make sure they won’t play
via a “rainout” of the manmade variety, sneaking into
the stadium and flooding the
field with the sprinkler system, all the while celebrating
the anticipated day off by
sliding through the infield.
Well, folks we most
decidedly do not need a
rainout around here. We’ve
had plenty.
Athletes and coaches
know they have to be flexible
during the spring, when those
sports’ first couple weeks are
almost guaranteed a postponement or two, but this has
been the most weather-affected spring in recent memory
in Northwest Georgia. On
Tuesday, it wasn’t even rain
that pushed some events
back, but the last gasp of
winter via a cold snap.
Baseball, the sport most
at the mercy of the weather,
has had to do the most
jumping around and pays as
big a price as any sport as a
result of the changes.
Coaches are forced to juggle
their pitching rotations and
athletes have their mental
readiness tested, but we’re
getting close to catching up
on those missed games.
Track and field, as well
as golf, take hits of their
own when rainouts fall on a
Saturday, losing out on valuable tournament or invitational experience.
Big picture-wise, we’ll
certainly take the rain over
the drought. But it’s OK if
you want to cross your fingers and hope for rain when
it won’t cripple the area’s
sports schedule.

A little lighter in the wallet: MLB players making less
NEW YORK (AP) — The
recession has hit baseball
salaries. Teams cut payrolls
for their active rosters and
disabled lists by $47 million
from opening day in 2008 to
the first day of this season,
according to an analysis by
The Associated Press. That
comes out to a drop of 1.7
percent.
“Clubs were cautious all
winter with regards to the
economy and were con-
cerned the economy might
have an impact on club revenue,” said Bob DuPuy,
baseball’s chief operating
officer. “The spending
reflected that for many
clubs.”

Baseball: Offense
struck out three hitters to
end the threat after allowing
three to reach base.
With Gordon taking the
mound for the Bruins to start
the third, Dalton went back
to work, with Townsend and
Estes each hitting RBI singles and Blake Raber scoring on an outfield throwing
error before the first out.
Stryker Brown hit into a
fielder’s choice for the
inning’s fourth run.
Kinnamon pitched himself into a jam in the fourth,
surrendering a leadoff double
to Diego Hernandez and
walking the next batter, Drew
Allen. After Cody Jones
popped out to second, pinchhitter Hunter Key hit an RBI
double for Northwest’s final
run. A tired Kinnamon struck
out Darnell and Hughes in
what would have been his
final inning had the game
continued past the fourth.
Kinnamon allowed two
runs on four hits and four
walks.
“We had Nick (Ray)
ready to go,” Brotherton
said.
The Bruins failed to
record three outs in the
fourth as the Cats batted
around, with the ninth batter, pinch-hitter Murphy
Martin, ending the game
with a two-run single.
“We knew we were going
to come out on top, but this
was a big win for us,” said
Estes, who finished 3-for-3
and led the team with four
RBIs. “I’m glad we put it on
them. It’s a statement to
everyone in the region that
we’re coming out on top.”

“I thought we were ready
to play when the game started,” he said. “They were
fired up and the intensity was
there, but something happened after the first pitch.
“We’re going to regroup
for (today) and go down to
Sequoyah and get that
intensity back.”
Masters: Roars?
The club also enlarged
the tee boxes on the par-4
seventh and par-5 15th,
allowing officials to move
the tees a little more forward to make the hole play
slightly shorter.
Otherwise, a club that
tries to control so much can
only hope Mother Nature is
on its side.
Spring felt like winter
two years ago when Zach
Johnson became the first
Masters champion in more
than 50 years to finish over
par. A year ago, whipping
wind
sent
Trevor
Immelman to a 75, matching the highest final round
by a winner.
“This week is an important test,” Payne said.
“Since the most recent, substantial changes to the
course in 2006, we have not
had good weather over the
weekend. The players have
not, in fact, had the opportunity to demonstrate their
skills against the competitive test of the course. It
looks like we are going to
have some pretty good
weather this weekend.”
It sure hasn’t started out
that way.
Jim Furyk was among
the first on the driving
range Wednesday morning,
and as he walked to the first
tee, he was taken aback
when a security guard told
him he was not allowed to
walk on the grass. Turns out
there was a frost delay,
although sunshine warmed
the course considerably in
the afternoon, and it is supposed to get better for the
next four days.
Will that be all it takes to
bring the roars back to
Augusta National? To
restore hope that someone
who is three shots behind
going to the back nine on
Sunday still has a chance to
win? Tiger Woods isn’t so
sure.
“The golf course has
changed quite a bit,” he
said. “Your strategy has
changed. You don’t go out
there looking to shoot
super-low rounds because
they are not out there anymore, especially with these
conditions that we’ve had
the last two years.”
How much has it
changed? Woods has been a
runner-up the last two years
and has broken par only
twice, with just one of those
rounds in the 60s.
But it’s more than the
510 yards that were added
to the course since Woods
captured his first green
jacket in 1997. Augusta
National used to mow one
half of the fairway toward
the green and the other half
toward the tee. It was
advantageous — and risky
— to hit the side of the fairway mowed toward the
green because the ball
would roll more. Now the
entire fairway is mowed
toward the tee.
