Troopersget toughon use ofseat beltsFrom staff reports
Better buckle up – a state troop-er might be on your tail.Troopers this week began their
annual “Click It or Ticket” cam-paign with a goal of reaching 90percent compliance with Georgia’sseat-belt law. Right now it’s 88 per-cent, and it was 73 percent whenthe campaign started in 1998.Eight of the 16 people who died
in traffic accidents last year inTroup County were not wearing aseat belt, said Sgt. Maurice Raines,the State Patrol’s Post 2 com-mander in LaGrange.“We’ll have concentrated patrols,
road checks and high visibility”during the Thanksgiving holidays,which officially start at 6 p.m.Wednesday and end at midnightNov. 28, he said.There were 12 fatalities in Geor-
gia during that 102-hour holidayperiod last year and “we’re goingto do everything in our power tomake the highways and byways assafe as we possibly can,” Rainessaid.In 2008, there were 1,493 traffic
fatalities in Georgia, and 416 werealcohol-related, Raines said,adding, “We’re going to getimpaired drivers off the road.”He also reminded residents of
the new “super speeder” law,which adds $200 to the fine of driv-ers who go 75 mph or more on atwo-lane road or 85 mph or moreon interstate highways.

Hollis Jackson of Big 4 Barber Shop on Hamilton Road shows a picture of former arena foot-ball player Kane Bradfield, one of the many athletes who have come from LaGrange and throughhis shop to have their hair cut. Jackson has been cutting hair for more than 50 years and has actedas a mentor and friend for many of the younger generations who come in his shop.
‘He’s a giving man – he gives of himself’
Barber offers more than hair cutsBy Trey WoodStaff writer
Hollis Jackson was born to bea barber. When he was 9, a localbarber dropped by his house tocut his sister’s hair, but the bar-ber left his clippers behind.Jackson picked them up and
cut his own hair, then he startedcutting his brother’s hair. Beforelong, he was lowering the earsof every kid in the neighbor-hood. And he never looked back.Now he’s about to turn 62.
He’s been cutting hair for morethan five generations ofLaGrange residents, but his pas-sion is just as strong.“It was a gift. When you rec-
ognize a gift, you’ve got to staywith it,” he said. “It felt like a giftto me because starting at anearly age – at 9 years old, cuttingpeople’s hair and them being sat-isfied – it had to be a gift.”Jackson is the owner of Big 4
Barber Shop on Hamilton Road.It’s a stone building that’s decep-tively long. He’s been there for10 years and cut hair in thebuilding directly across the streetfor about 30 years.Just $8 for a basic man’s cut,
he’s got a chair waiting, rightalongside another chair for part-ner William James “Teddy” Tal-ley.Jackson’s ready to talk sports,
too. Basketball, football, baseball
– you name it, he more than like-ly knows about it, knows who inLaGrange went pro in it andknows what high school theycame from.All that talk leads a lot of hair-
cuts, as well.“On a Saturday, normally I get
to work about 6 a.m., and I don’tleave till about 9 p.m. or 10,” hesaid. “I had to cut my hours a lit-tle bit because I’m getting a lit-tle bit older – can’t stand as longas I used to.”He clipped hair as a child, he
clipped a little hair in the Armyduring Vietnam and you can findhim clipping hair just about allweek, including more than 12hours on Saturdays.He has clipped the hair of just
about every famous football andmovie star who’s come throughhis shop, so many that the top ofhis mirror is lined from begin-ning to end with pictures – someof which he can’t even fit.He even met his wife, Judy
Arthur-Jackson, in the shop, cut-ting her hair for a LaGrangeHigh School prom years ago.“It’s a pretty good living. When
I was in school I always hadsome change in my pocket, a lit-tle money,” he said with a laugh.Besides barber, Jackson has
played another role in the lives
of many young men and womennear Hamilton Road. He’s actedas a mentor, a confidant and afriend.“He’s a giving man. He gives
of himself,” said the Rev. WillieEdmondson. “He’s just that typeof guy. He’s not the typical bar-ber. You probably won’t findanother barber like him in thestate of Georgia.”Jackson’s given small jobs to
local homeless people during theyears, giving them a little changein their pockets while allowingthem a warm place in the winterand a cool place in the summer.“I’ve seen times when parents
simply come by and drop theirchildren off, children of all ages,”said friend Fredrick Stanley.“He’s a babysitter, he’s a mentor,he’s a father figure for a lot ofthe guys.“He does so much for the com-
munity in such few words.”People sometimes wait for
hours at a time to get their haircut during the holidays andweekends, sitting in the row ofchairs lining the back of hisshop. It takes only 10 to 15 min-utes to clip a man’s hair and usea straight razor for cleaningthings up, but his customers saythe wait is well worth it.“The man, he’s a sharp cue.
He’s a wealth of knowledge,”
From staff reports
Each year when theTroup County school sys-tem conducts safety train-ing for the First Responderteams of every school andfacility, one item not on theagenda is justification forthe program. That can befound in the lives that havebeen saved.This year, the team from
Ethel Kight Magnet Schoolserved as the most recentexample of how to do thejob right.Several years ago, the
school system formalizedemergency preparednessby designating teams ateach school to respondimmediately to any crisisthat may arise. Training isprovided for dealing withsafety issues ranging fromweapons on campus, bully-ing, bomb threats, weatheremergencies, intruders,acts of terrorism and more. In addition, team mem-
bers receive annual train-ing in first aid, CPR, use ofautomated external defib-rillators and choking.The Ethel Kight team put
that training into action lastyear when a food deliveryperson collapsed in theback driveway. Using theskills learned through train-ing, the team is credited
with saving the man’s life.“Real-life demonstrations
of the value of this programhappen every year,” saidJohn Radcliffe, assistantsuperintendent of mainte-nance and operations.“Principals have done anexcellent job of designatingthe right people in theirbuildings to take theseimportant roles, and aswe’ve seen, when it mat-ters, these people comethrough.”Michael Woodard, a vet-
eran teacher and coach,serves on the First Respon-der team at Gardner New-man Middle School.
“A key benefit of this pro-gram is the organization.Everyone knows their roleand exactly what to dowhen there is an emer-gency,” he said.For the health and med-
ical portion of the training,members of Troup CountyEMS assisted Jayne Pauley,an RN and the schoolhealth services coordinator,and her team of schoolnurses. Alternatingbetween instruction,demonstration and activeparticipation, the traininggave First Responders plen-ty of opportunities to prac-tice lifesaving techniques.
“This is my third yearworking with Troup Coun-ty schools,” said Lance Har-rison, director of operationsfor Troup County EMS.“They have taken the pro-gram to a phenomenal leveland are generations aheadof the other school systemsI’ve had dealings with. Thewhole program shows atotal commitment to thesafety of students and ourcommunity.”During campus safety
training, Radcliffe pre-viewed new flip charts thatwill be provided in everyclassroom in the system.The charts include quickview information of the dif-ferent safety protocol out-lined in the system’s crisisplan.“Based on feedback from
teachers and administra-tors, we saw a need to haveeasy reference guidelinesof what to do in differentemergencies,” Radcliffesaid. “Details are providedin the full plan and we stillwant employees to befamiliar with the big pic-ture, but in the moment ofa crisis, these flip chartsgive teachers and substituteteachers key instructions ata glance.”Jessica Mayfield, a new
member of the Long Cane
Elementary School FirstResponder team, appreci-ated the day as a studentinstead of her usual job asa kindergarten teacher.“I have had some previ-
ous safety training as acheerleading coach, butI’ve learned so much moretoday,” Mayfield said. “IfI’m ever in a position whereI need to help, I want to beable to respond just as theydid at Ethel Kight.”

Dear Annie: My hus-band is fascinated by tech-nology. When the iPhonefirst came out, “Todd” gotone right away and hasbeen devoted to it eversince. The problem is thathe is constantly checkinghis e-mail, Twitter andFacebook feeds.Whenever I’m driving,
Todd is online in the pas-senger seat. He uses hisiPhone while we watch TV.He eats breakfast with it,brings it out at restaurantsand uses it when we’re vis-iting family. Every month,he goes out to dinner withsome of his old friends,and one night I joinedthem. They said it wasnice to have some adultconversation, becauseTodd is constantly on hisphone. Our eldest son haseven told his father to stop“tap-tap-tapping” for aminute so he could talk tohim.When I point out his
excessive online activity,Todd gets defensive, say-ing he’s looking stuff upfor work, or that this is hisway of having fun. I knewwhen I married him thathe loved technology, buthis obsession has gottenworse as the phones havegotten better.I want my husband
back. How do I get him todisengage from his phoneand enjoy the time hespends in real life? —iPhone WidowDear Widow: Tell Todd
that his phone has becomean addiction, and ask himto compromise. Make alist of activities, and indi-cate when it is OK to usethe phone and when it isnot. Let him choose whichtimes are most importantto him, and then you pick
what is important to you(e.g., when you’re driving,he can play with hisphone; when you are eat-ing a meal, he must turn itoff). If Todd feels theprocess is fair, he may bemore inclined to cooper-ate.
Dear Annie: My hus-band and I have been mar-ried for 11 years. We bothwere married twice before,and both of my ex-hus-bands left me for otherwomen.My husband recently re-
established e-mail, textand phone contact with hisformer fiance, who brokeoff their relationship near-ly 20 years ago. She is get-ting divorced, and he tellsme he is “concerned”about her and “cares whathappens to her.” I wasupset about this and havelet him know I will not tol-erate it.He said he would stop,
but I discovered that heopened another e-mailaccount and they havecontinued to communicaterather tenderly. She livesseveral states away, but Iam convinced they areplanning to get togetherwhen her divorce is final.He assures me this isn’t so,
but has lied quite a bitalready.How can I believe what
he says? How do I livewith a man I love but nolonger trust? – WorriedWife in WisconsinDear Wisconsin: Your
husband is not behaving ina trustworthy manner, soit is natural that you find itdifficult to believe what hesays. You have reason tobe worried about the stateof your marriage, and werecommend the two of youdiscuss this with the helpof a professional. Yourhusband must give up hisfriendship with the ex-fiance or, at the very least,make all contact transpar-ent. Ask him to come withyou to see a counselor,who will make it clear thathe is undermining themarriage. We hope it mat-ters to him.
Dear Annie: Please tell“Don’t Know What ToBelieve” not to jump to thewrong conclusion. Shewas afraid her husbandwas cheating because hiscomputer said “activatedhis profile” and “come findyour partner.” Thosephrases show up on mycomputer all the time.It’s possible someone in
my address book has acti-vated his profile, and thatinformation pops up in myinbox, but I just ignore it.If her husband said he hasnothing to do with it, he isprobably telling the truth.— K.G.

Tom Rice would pro-hibit all of the universitysystem’s 35 schools fromadmitting illegal immi-grants.“I don’t think theRegents went far enough,”the Norcross Republicansaid.Rice’s legislation will betaken up when state legis-lators reconvene in Janu-ary. Immigration is expect-ed to be a hot topic at thestate Capitol when law-makers return.An emboldened Repub-lican majority has pledgedto make the issue a prior-ity. It’s widely expectedthat legislators will intro-duced a bill similar to thetough anti-illegal immi-

Temple Beth Tefilloh is one of the most ornate and beautiful houses of wor-ship in Brunswick.
Historic Jewish templeis seldom-seen treasureBRUNSWICK (AP) –One of the city’s mostelaborate and historicbuildings is also one of theleast seen.Temple Beth Tefilloh sitson a corner at theentrance to the GlynnAcademy Auditorium, abuilding used daily by stu-dents and frequently forcommunity events. Bothare historic, but the Jew-ish temple’s age is begin-ning to exact a toll, and itssmall congregation ofabout 50 families cannotafford the repairs alone,temple leaders saidCongregation PresidentMark Friedman openedTemple Beth Tefilloh’ssolid wood doors andwalked a center aislebetween benches and richpine columns. Approach-ing the bema, the raisedplatform where a visitingrabbi and lay teachers lec-ture, Friedman said, “Ourark is interesting.”Indeed, the ark holdsthe congregation’s Torahsthat are older than thetemple.Some survived theHolocaust and smallerones standing in a cornerwere smuggled out of Rus-sia.“They were specificallydesigned to be portableand hideable because ofthe pogroms,” he said ofthe period of persecution.With its native pine anda soaring ceiling, TempleBeth Tefilloh’s interiorbears a striking resem-blance to that ofBrunswick’s old City Hall.That is understandable,because Alfred Eichbergdesigned both. The tem-ple, whose name meansHouse of Prayer, was builtin 1889, two years afterthe three-story Central ofGeorgia Railway buildingin Savannah that is nowthe Savannah College ofArt and Design’s EichbergHall.The pine was originallymuch lighter, but its pro-tective shellac coating hasdarkened with age.Pointing to an areaabove and behind thebema and ark, Friedmanexplained a long horizon-tal crack that had beenpatched over.
“You can’t see it now,”he said.It was clearly visible,however, running from acorner about halfway tothe stained-glass windowin the center of the wall.Turning to Steve Cutler,a member helping in therestoration, Friedman saidin a disheartened voice,“There it is. It’s back.”That is not the onlyproblem. Some of theterra cotta roof tiles haveshifted, are cracked ormissing altogether. Flash-ing that would have keptout the rain has degradedand experts have warnedthat the humidity in thesanctuary can damage theTorahs.“Out of respect forthem, we need to protectthem,” Friedman said.Some of the flooring hasdegraded and there aresmall signs throughout ofbigger problems under-neath.But as small as they mayappear, the cracks are themost worrisome becausethey are likely a sign thebuilding is settling or shift-ing unevenly. The congre-
gation needs a structuralengineer to find the causeand design a permanentrepair, Friedman said.“We don’t know whatkind of base it’s sittingon,” said Cutler, who livesin St. Marys.The congregation hasdedicated substantialfinancial resources to theproject, but it needs out-side help.Jews have played a rolein Glynn County history.Robert Levison, for exam-ple, opened a store on St.Simons Island after theCivil War when lumbermills were operating onthe island.Mayor Bryan Thompsonlisted a number of Jewishpeople who had moved tothe area and contributedespecially in business.“The temple is animportant part of the fab-ric of the city,” Thompsonsaid.
Mark Friedman, left, president of Temple BethTefilloh, and Steve Cutler of St. Marys are leading aneffort to secure funding to restore and renovate the124-year-old building.

Governor wants Doors’Morrison pardonedTALLAHASSEE, Fla.
(AP) – The time to hesitateis through, no time to wal-low in the mire: Florida’soutgoing governor wantsto posthumously pardonrock ‘n’ roll wild man JimMorrison, the lead singerof The Doors who wasfamously convicted ofexposing himself at ananarchic 1969 concert inMiami.Gov. Charlie Crist, a 54-
year-old baby boomer andMorrison fan whosefavorite Doors song is“Light My Fire,” said theevidence that Morrisonunzipped his pants wasflimsy and prosecutorswere trying to make anexample of the singer,whose on-stage excessesand appetite for sex anddrugs were legendary.“There’s some troubling
aspects to it as to whetherthere was a valid convic-tion. The more I learnabout it, the more I’m con-
vinced a wrong may havebeen done here. My heartjust bleeds for his legacyand his family,” said Crist,who leaves office in Janu-ary and figures “it’s sort ofnow or never.”Exactly what happened
that night at the DinnerKey Auditorium is one ofrock ‘n’ roll history’senduring mysteries. Mor-rison clearly teased thecrowd and went into anobscenity-laced rant.“He was baiting the
audience, telling them, ‘I’mgoing to do it, I’m going toshow it to you. That’s whatyou’ve come for isn’t it?’ ”Doors keyboardist RayManzarek said. “The girlswere screaming ‘Yes! Yes!’Guys were saying, ‘No!Don’t do it!’ ”Manzarek said Morri-
son put a shirt in front ofhis crotch and wiggled hishand behind it. He brieflypulled the shirt away andsaid, “I just showed you.
Did you see it?”“And of course nobody
saw it,” Manzarek said.He and guitarist Robby
Krieger saidMorrison hadrecently seen a stagegroup called The LivingTheater, which was per-forming plays in whichactors disrobed. The con-cert was his first and onlyattempt to do somethingsimilar, but he didn’t fol-low through with expos-ing himself, they said.“I wouldn’t put it past
him. I’m sure he wouldhave done it if he had beena little drunker or if (man-ager) Bill Siddons hadn’tbeen holding his armsaround his waist and pre-venting him from doing soafter Ray said, ‘Don’t lethim do it!’ ” Krieger said.“Really, as far as the par-doning thing, I don’t thinkJimwould care oneway oranother, but his familywould, so that to me is themost important thing.”

Study: Weddingbells not neededto have a familyWASHINGTON (AP) –
Is marriage becomingobsolete?As families gather for
Thanksgiving this year,nearly one in three Amer-ican children is living witha parent who is divorced,separated or never-mar-ried. More people areaccepting the view thatwedding bells aren’t need-ed to have a family.A study by the Pew
Research Center high-lights rapidly changingnotions of the Americanfamily. And the CensusBureau, too, is planning toincorporate broader defi-nitions of family whenmeasuring poverty, a shiftcaused partly by recentjumps in unmarried cou-ples living together.About 29 percent of chil-
dren under 18 now livewith a parent or parentswho are unwed or nolonger married, a fivefoldincrease from 1960,according to the Pewreport released today. Bro-ken down further, about 15percent have parents whoare divorced or separatedand 14 percent who werenever married. Withinthose two groups, a sizablechunk – 6 percent – haveparents who are live-incouples who opted to raisekids together without get-ting married.Indeed, about 39 per-
cent of Americans saidmarriage was becomingobsolete. And that senti-ment follows U.S. censusdata released in Septem-ber that showed marriageshit an all-time low of 52percent for adults 18 andover.In 1978, just 28 percent
believed marriage wasbecoming obsolete.When asked what con-
stitutes a family, the vastmajority of Americansagree that a married cou-ple, with or without chil-dren, fits that description.But four of five surveyedpointed also to an unmar-ried, opposite-sex couplewith children or a singleparent. Three of 5 peoplesaid a same-sex couplewith children was a family.“Marriage is still very
important in this country,but it doesn’t dominatefamily life like it used to,”said Andrew Cherlin, aprofessor of sociology andpublic policy at JohnsHopkins University. “Nowthere are several ways tohave a successful familylife, and more peopleaccept them.”The broadening views of
family are expected tohave an impact at Thanks-giving. About nine in 10Americans said they willshare a Thanksgiving mealnext week with family, sit-ting at a table with 12 peo-ple on average. About one-fourth of respondents saidthere will be 20 or morefamily members.“More Americans are
living in these new fami-lies, so it seems safe toassume that there will bemore of them around theThanksgiving dinnertable,” said Paul Taylor,executive vice president ofthe Pew Research Center.The changing views of
family are being drivenlargely by young adults18-29, who are more like-ly than older generationsto have an unmarried ordivorced parent.
Victory is blow toPalin’s influence WASHINGTON (AP) –
Sen. Lisa Murkowski’sstunning write-in victorywas a political poke in theeye to Alaska’s otherfavorite daughter, SarahPalin.The former governor
and 2008 vice presidentialcandidate backed scoresof congressional andgubernatorial candidatesthis election, a sought-after endorsement thathelped lift several Repub-licans to victory.But she and her hus-
band, Todd, invested farmore time and money forJoe Miller, a tea party-backed challenger whoshocked Murkowski, theincumbent, by capturingthe GOP Senate nomina-tion.Murkowski’s write-in
win over Miller in Wednes-day’s count was a rebuke
for Palin on her home turfby voters who know herbest, the latest chapter ina bitter family feud that attimes seemed more per-sonal than political. It’salso an embarrassment asPalin considers a WhiteHouse bid.Just this week, Mur-
kowski said she couldn’tsupport Palin for presi-dent.“She would not be my
choice,” Murkowski said.“I just do not think shehas those leadership qual-ities, that intellectualcuriosity that allows forbuilding good and greatpolicies. You know, shewas my governor for twoyears, about two yearsthere, and I don’t thinkthat she enjoyed govern-ing. I don’t think she likedto get down into the poli-cy.”

Catfish Hunter, Lauren Hutton andGeorge Lucas are former card-carryingassociates of the villainous ReserveClause Club.The Club claimed these talents early
on, when pundits roamed the landunchallenged and before tutors outed thefacts.Catfish Hunter was a hurling machine
and he signed into the Reserve ClauseClub because that’s what all baseballplayers did and it’s what he was told todo. No mind that it co-opted his market-place choices and permitted distant,nefarious instruments the use of his tal-ents for personal increase. MarvinMiller,scourge of baseball owners everywhere,taught Hunter that he had Talent with acapital T and Capital ought to recognizeit, which it eventually did. Hunter quitthe Club.Lauren Hutton, heeding Hunter’s lead,
decided she was tired of Revlon’semployment by the hour. Models on theclock were disenfranchised from thesecurity of predictable work, and Capi-tal extorted unseemly profit out of whatamounted to a model’s Reserve Clause.She demanded a contract and got it. Hut-ton quit the Club.George Lucas, as part of his Club dues,
was expected to assign “Star Wars”sequel rights to Twentieth Century Fox.
It was just the way things were done, buthe refused. Fox gave in, but Lucas quitthe Club anyway.Fleshed out by Malcolm Gladwell in
the New Yorker, these examples showthe Reserve Clause Club everywhereactive. It sucks in the unwary by uphold-ing thin authority and repeating a refrainAmerica is too busy to dissect: “We knowbest.”For more than 20 years we have been
enchanted by prospects of better healthand long life untempered by the lawof rea-sonable expectation. “Scientific Research”is the term flung far and wide on the cor-rect assumption America gives it a pass;its imprimaturmeans quality, validity andcredibility. Its henchman, the bruiser at thedoorwhomwedare not contradict, who isshrouded in mystery, and talks in veiledmetaphor and condescendingly because,he thinks, we’re too ignorant to under-stand: his name is “Statistics.”“Medical Research” is a Reserve
Clause Club particularly notorious. Itassumes, correctly, given its vaunted pro-fessional standing, we do not doubt thepremise and process that preface its con-clusions. We take it at its word when ittells us “such and such” is better. Life, wetake it, will be better and longer, worththe investment redirected from educa-tion, roads or any other discretionary lineitem you choose.The facts may be otherwise. David
Freedman, writing in The Atlantic quotesJohn Ioannidis, a highly regarded pro-ponent of integrity in medical research:“80 percent of non-randomized studies(by far the most common type) turn outto be wrong, as do 25 percent of suppos-edly gold-standard randomized trials,and as much as 10 percent of the plat-inum-standard large randomized trials.”Remember the time all women had to
be on hormones? Men absolutely had tohave prostate checks? Vitamin E wouldsave all hearts?Rare is the study that is frankly mali-
cious, lined with intentional falsity. Muchmore common is the tottering premise,or the outcome statistically significantbut of marginal material difference.The government is now in the medical
research business in a bigger way thanever. Cash coffers are limited. Researchdollars, in general, must provide themost
good for the most people.The NewYork Times, on its front page,
reported a study showing three CATscans over two years in heavy smokersmay reduce the death rate from 442 to354. The study cost $250 million; eachCAT scan was $300; 53,000 people werestudied; all had a 30 pack-year history ofsmoking. No word on the toll of falsepositive findings, whether the survivorsstopped smoking or on the quality of lifein the aftermath.Dr. Mary Reid, associate professor of
oncology at Roswell Park Cancer Insti-tute, said: “These people are worriedabout lung cancer, and now there is anopportunity to offer them something.”Lung cancer is not something aboutwhich we should flail. Dr. Reid flails.“Statistical significance” carries a spir-
itual weight far beyond its due. “Materi-al significance” is more in keeping withthe spirit of things.H.L. Mencken, had he undertaken a
study of it, would have agreed that Tru-man’s common man is perfectly able todiscern proper premise; to tell whethera research topic, presenting itself to thepublic trough, is worthy.The Reserve Clause has been exposed.
It perpetuated closed doors, dim lightsand haughty whispers.It’s time we all quit the Club.

�� State voicesCorruptionstarts at homeDad shook his head, a Bud in hand.
Leaning toward Mr. Clark, he said,“Nothing changes, politics are stillcorrupt, government cares nothingabout us – those in the halls of Con-gress care only for self. Once elect-ed, they forget about those who’ve
put them there.”After throwing his
hands up into the air,Mr. Clark replied,“Harry, it’s been thatway since before mygranddad’s time.Nothing’s going tochange!”
Dad sat back intohis chair and sighedand mumbled,“Hopefully things willchange for our kids.”That conversation
took place on a warmOctober’s eve in 1953– Dad and Mr. Clarksitting in chairs onthe back lawn while Ilingered quietly onthe back porch. It is
2010 – sorry, Dad, sadly nothing’schanged, especially this: I love you.No matter our attempt to avoid or
hide from truth and color it in hues ofrace, religion, and politics, the truthis always there. Certainly there is truthin the following: those who serve usshould serve us with more dedicationto truth and honor and less service to“politics” and “the power of wealth,”those elected should seek service to“we the people” avoiding the ever-pre-sent temptation to somehow leantowards “self.”But, hey, who among us has not
turned from doing the honorablething, avoided truth, refused to reachout for another simply because weloved embracing ourselves? Who ofus did not attempt to hold anotherhigh and in the end found our ownelevation more important?We’ve read so many letters to the
editor, columns and editorials frommultiple views related to the state ofpolitics. I am often disappointed, andeven at times angered – by the obvi-ous failures and seeming dishonestyin our (in fact the world’s) politicalsystem. However, I am convinced ofthis: political apathy and the accept-ance of corruption starts at home.Hold it, now don’t go off on me. Bycorruption, I simply mean this –“accepting an altered form of thetruth.” We do it with our self, withinour marriage and, sadly, with ourchildren – accepting excuse andaltered important rather thenembracing truth.If there’s a chance that a member
of the “politically” elect is reading this,I suggest the following just maychange the environment and shedlight on the truth for this “one nationunder God.” Find ways to bring abouta renewed pride in being an Ameri-can – help us embrace those legallyseeking America to find her – elimi-nate welfare and implement workfare– establish a “fair tax” – introduce andsupport term limits and rational com-pensation for your service – embraceus, not your party or your wallet.Speaking of “us,” we have a
responsibility to think, learn, voteand be active in our community. Weneed to love and treasure the gift ofbeing an American. The “horriblethree” have embraced us: in the lead,the pursuit of material wealth, thenclosely followed by the embrace ofpower, and there at the end (perhapsmost obvious) the devaluation of“we.”

WhenfamiliesbreakdownImagine asking a young
woman if she wants her chil-dren to do poorly in school.Or to go to prison. Or to usedrugs. Or to live in poverty.It’s a good bet more than
70 percent of women andgirls would say they don’twant that for their children.And yet, the Associated
Press reports that 72 percentof black children are nowborn out of wedlock – andstatistics show children ofsingle mothers of any raceare more likely to experienceall those troubles and more.One single mother inter-
viewed for the AP story saidshe thinks marriage is a goodidea – but that “what’s goodfor you might not be good forme.”Ah, but that’s not the ques-
tion. The question is, what’sbest for the child?The facts, spelled out in
study after study, don’t justsay two-parent families arebetter for kids – they screamit.The 1990 report, “Putting
Children First: A ProgressiveFamily Policy for the 1990s,”by the Democratic Progres-sive Policy Institute, is a land-mark on the topic. Theauthors courageously rejectthe politically correct notionthat “questions of familystructure are purely privatematters. … The conse-quences of family failureaffect society at large. We allpay for systems of welfare,mental and physical disabili-ty, criminal justice and incar-ceration; we are all madepoorer by the inability orunwillingness of youngadults to become contribut-ing members of society; weall suffer if society is unsafeand divided and if our chil-dren are poorly educated.”Notwithstanding conduct
between consenting adults,society, they write, has a rightto question “alternativelifestyles” that affect every-one – in particular those thatinvolve the raising of chil-dren. Nearly three-quarters of
single-parent children expe-rience poverty in their first10 years of life, the PPIreport says; only one-fifth ofothers will.Moreover, the report says,
when you factor out singleparenthood, there is no linkbetween either race orincome level and crime rates. Why would anyone know-
ingly do that to their chil-dren? If the answer is thatthey don’t know what they’redoing, then shouldn’t we beable to tell them? After that,how much of the problem isself-indulgence and a refusalto delay gratification? It follows that choices
those families make shouldbe fair game for discussion.

What are we to make ofNancy Pelosi’s home town’smeasure to ban Happy Meals?Shall we say that the San Fran-cisco board of supervisors gota little carried away in their zealto prevent childhood obesity?Or is it about time someonestaged an intervention to shakeAmericans out of their sicken-ing (literally) eating habits?Well, maybe, but not this way.
When liberals unleash theircoercive urges as the supervi-sors in San Francisco havedone, even some Democrats –notably the mayor – are forcedto protest. Would we like it ifMcDonalds changed its menusin response to social pressureand consumer demand? Yes.And by the way, that is happen-ing. Customers at McDonaldscan now choose salads, fruits,and quite tasty coffee in addi-tion to the usual fatty fare. Butthat clearly didn’t satisfy thefood cops.So imagine a parent in San
Francisco who has made thefollowing deal with her child:Eat five servings a day of fruitsand vegetables, and three serv-ings of milk or yogurt, and onthe weekend, you can have aHappy Meal. Not anymore.While banning Happy Meals
(the law actually just bannedmeals with toys that failed tomeet certain nutritional guide-lines – but the shorthand isaccurate) will probably have noeffect on the health of SanFranciscans, there are ways inwhich the law could be changedto reward healthy behavior.Unfortunately, the Democratsfailed utterly to consider themwhen revamping our healthcare system.The Obama Democrats took
a system that was groaningunder the weight of explodingMedicare and Medicaid costsand made it worse by addinganother entitlement. They tooka system that encourages vora-cious consumption of healthcare services (because a thirdparty is paying) and expandedit. They took a system thatalready inhibited choice (by, forexample, imposing costly man-dates on insurance carriers)and restricted competition stillfurther.President Obama claims that
his is a (cough, cough) non-ide-ological administration. He haspromised many times to investonly in “what works.” But theMassachusetts health reform
(aka Romneycare) adopted verysimilar reforms to those in theObamacare law. It’s been a fail-ure. The Massachusetts exper-iment has failed to reduce costs(they are the highest in thenation), and has reduced quali-ty as physicians flee the state,leading to longer wait times forappointments. This informationwas available in March.In the midst of the health care
debate, the CEO of SafewayInc., described the kind ofreform that has a track recordof success. Steven Burd beganby noting that 70 percent ofhealth care costs are the directresult of behavior, and that 74percent of health care dollarsgo to just four conditions – car-diovascular disease, cancer, dia-betes, and obesity. Eighty per-cent of cardiovascular diseaseand diabetes is preventable, asare 60 percent of cancers andmore than 90 percent of obesity.His company, which self-insuresand thus makes its own rules,offers employees tests for thosefour conditions, which includequestions about tobacco use,weight, blood pressure, andcholesterol levels. Safeway thenprovides discounts for thosewho achieve good scores. If, ayear after receiving a bad testresult, the employee is able to
reverse it through good habits,the company offers a refundequal to the premium differ-ence.The results, as Burd
described it in the Wall StreetJournal, were arresting.Between 2005 and 2009, Safe-way’s per capita health spend-ing remained flat while healthspending in the rest of the econ-omy increased by 38 percent. Asurvey of employees found that76 percent wanted more incen-tives for healthy behaviors, and78 percent rated the programas good, very good, or excellent.Whole Foods, another super-
market player, adopted its ownform of health savings accountsthat allow employees to keepand roll over any unused por-tion from year to year.Each of these companies
adopted programs that reward-ed individual responsibility.There was no coercion, butrather incentives for healthychoices and careful consump-tion of health care. Not only didObamacare fail to take accountof these excellent models, it willvery likely force these compa-nies to abandon them.Another sad report: As of
Nov. 1, 111 labor unions andpolitically well-connected busi-nesses had secured waiversfrom the Secretary of HHSfrom complying with the oner-ous taxes, fees, and require-ments of Obamacare. Thiscronyism is brought to you bythe same kind of people whobanned Happy Meals. “Whatworks” is completely irrelevantto them. The important thing isthat government decides.

By Robert GriffinSports Writer
Challenges don't come any bigger than this one.Coming off of a 30-8 defeat of first-round opponentRockmart, the Callaway Cavaliers are now faced withthe task of playing the defending three-time Class AAstate-champion Buford Wolves.This a Buford program that has won six state cham-pionships since 2000, and since Jess Simpson tookover as head coach in 2005, the Wolves are 78-4 withfive consecutive appearances in thestate-title game.It’s an enormous challenge, but it’sone Callaway is embracing."All we can ask for is an opportu-nity, and its here,” Callaway headcoach Pete Wiggins said. “Severalyears ago, we might have had a dif-ferent attitude heading into thisgame, but right now they are excited.They believe that they can win.”This season, the Wolves have ripped through theschedule with a 10-1 record.Since losing to top-ranked Carver 14-0, Buford haswon nine straight games.“We know how good Buford is and they are going tobe as tough of an opponent as there is, but our kidspractice hard and Friday night we will be ready to goplay,” Wiggins said.

We’re down to one.With the departure ofLaGrange and Troup inthe first round of the stateplayoffs, that leaves PeteWiggins’ Callaway Cava-liers as the last teamstanding in the county.Callaway, which beatRockmart 30-8 in the firstround, will visit the pow-erful Buford Wolves thisweek.It was a tough Fridaynight for the Grangersand Tigers.For the Tigers, wellthere’s really nothingmore to say than they gotit handed to them by abetter football team.Monroe Area was 9-1,but because the teamhadn’t played that stronga schedule, there werequestions about howgood that team was.Well, anyone who wasat the game will tell youMonroe Area was an ab-solutely terrific ballclub.There were things theTigers could have donebetter, the two first-halfturnovers down near thegoal line were killers, buteven if they’d played aperfect game it wouldhave been awfully toughto beat that team.It was a nice season forthe Tigers, though, who

Thomas, said Alder waspretty automatic when hisnumber is called.“When he comes intothe game, the game’sover,” Thomas said. “He’sjust been that dominant.”Columbus State coachGreg Appleton said theschool has landed a gemin Alder.“He's a big, tall pitcherwho gives you a different
arm angle who can comein and shut the door andthat's what we are lookingfor Brian to do for us,” Ap-pleton said. “We're reallyexcited about havinghim.”Alder is looking for-ward to hopefully playingright away.“They have a reallygood program,” Aldersaid. “The coach said hecould use me, and I wantto play when I get there.”
won seven games, beatLaGrange for the firsttime in a long time andearned a home playoffgame for the first timesince 2003.The Tigers lose somecritical pieces on offense,most notably runningback/quarterback QuanBray, but the defense willbe formidable with nearlyeveryone returning.The 2011 season shouldbe a prosperous one forthe Tigers.As for LaGrange, Fri-day’s loss to WhiteCounty was kind of em-blematic of the season.At times, the Grangerslooked like a team thatcould go far in the play-offs, but they struggled tostring four solid quarterstogether.Defensive coordinatorDonnie Branch said be-fore the game he was hop-ing the Grangers wouldput together a “completefootball game,” somethinghe felt the team hadn’tdone all season.Unfortunately, that did-n’t happen against WhiteCounty.The Grangers playedwell in the first half, andthey had a 14-6 lead, butthey let it slip away in thesecond half and lost 28-20.The Grangers finishedat 5-6, although they didextend their streak ofmaking it to the stateplayoffs to 11.Going forward, theGrangers will be under anew head coach next sea-son with the departure ofSteve Pardue, but this is aprogram that has thrivedfor about a century, andlook for LaGrange to con-tinue its tradition of suc-cess under the new coach.So, that brings us backto Callaway.Anyone who has fol-lowed the prep footballscene in Troup Countythis season knows whatCallaway was up againsteven before the seasonstarted when its topplayer, quarterback QuanBray, transferred toTroup.That left a gaping holeon the Callaway roster,but a football team is big-ger than one player, andthe Cavaliers proved thatthis season.Junior Ricky Parksstepped in at quarterback,and with running backMarquis Terrell putting to-gether another extraordi-nary season, Callaway’soffense has continued tohum right along .This is a team that notonly talks about the team-first mentality, but ab-solutely believes in it andstresses it.The team gives out anaward in its postseasonbanquet called the WINaward, which stands forwhatever is necessary.As Wiggins said, “ascoaches, we feel like it’sour biggest award, be-cause that goes to the guywho will do whatever youask him to do on both sidesof the ball. It’s very special.“Right now,” he added,“thinking about thataward, it would be ex-tremely difficult. There’s alot of guys like that. That’swhat makes chemistryand helps youwin footballgames.”And Callaway has wona lot of football games inrecent years.In Wiggins’ first seasonin 2005, the Cavalierswent 4-6, and they were 5-6 a year later, althoughthey made it to the stateplayoffs and nearly upsetWashington-Wilkes in thefirst round.Everything fell intoplace in 2007 when theCavaliers went 8-3 andfinished second in Region
5-AA, and in 2008, theytook it a step further bygoing 10-2 and winningthe first state-playoffgame in school history.Last year, the Cavalierswon their second straightregion championship,won two playoff gamesand finished at 10-3.This fall, Callaway is 8-3, and it has won a playoffgame for the third straightyear.Over the past four sea-sons, Callaway is 36-11with two region champi-onships and the threeplayoff wins.Not too shabby.“We’re fortunate withour kids,” Wiggins said.“They’ve bought into whatwe do. And our coaches,I’ve said this many times,I’m extremely fortunate tohave the group of guys Ihave on staff. They’recommitted to these kids,they’re committed to ourschool. They love the kids.We all do. It’s a family at-mosphere. There’s alwaysgoing to be hard times,but there’s a lot of goodtimes. I think that all thatchemistry is a big part ofour success.”The Cavaliers are a con-fident bunch, and theywon’t be intimidated ven-turing into the lair of thestate’s most dominantprogram over the pastdecade.That task is an over-whelming one, though.Buford has won sixstate titles since 2000, in-cluding three in a row.The Wolves have won16 consecutive playoffgames, and their headcoach, Jess Simpson, hasa staggering record of 78-4 in his six seasons at thehelm.Think about that for amoment.In six seasons, the manhas lost four games.His Wolves have playedfor a state title every yearhe’s been the head coach,and they’ve lost two regu-lar-season games duringthat stretch.Wow doesn’t seem tocover it.This year’s team clearlyhas what it takes to addanother state title to theledger.The Wolves (10-1) lostto Carver 14-0 in Week 2,but they haven’t lost since,and they whipped HartCounty 52-22 in the firstround.The Wolves pound youon offense with their re-lentless running game –they had 267 rushingyards last week – andtheir defense is giving upfewer than 10 points agame.Wiggins knows whathis team is up against, buthe said rather than shyaway from the challenge,the players and coachesare embracing it.“All we can ask for is anopportunity, and it’shere,” Wiggins said. “Ithink several years ago Ithink wemight have a dif-ferent attitude about thisgame, but right now, ourkids are excited. They be-lieve they can win.”And they should believethat. These Cavs haveshown the past few sea-sons they belong to men-tioned in the same breathas the state’s best ClassAA programs, and they’llwalk into Buford’s TomRiden Stadium expectingto come home with a win.Can it happen?It’s sports, anything can– and oftentimes does –happen.Perhaps Callaway willshock the world and beatthemightyWolves.Would-n’t that be something.In the end, Buford’sdepth and enormouswealth of talentmay provetoo much for Callaway.
� MY PICK: Buford 24-14
just doesn’t happen, he works hardat it. He is a special ball player andhe’s always a threat every time hetouches the ball.”While rushing for nearly 3,000yards over the past two seasons isa giant accomplishment for anyplayer, Terrell is quick to divert thecredit for his numbers."All the credit goes to the offen-sive line,” Terrell said. “Those arethe only guys that I can thank forwhat I've been able to do here. Theyopen up holes for me. It's not reallythat hard to gain a lot of yardswhen your guys up front are open-ing up big holes for you.”Once Terrell finds a hole, he doesthe rest.With his combination of savvy,speed, power and toughness, Ter-rell is a threat to take the ball to the
end zone every time he touches it.With his two touchdowns in lastweek’s playoff win over Rockmart,Terrell has 17 touchdowns.While Terrell has plenty of natu-ral ability, including sprinter’sspeed, he has put in a lot of work tobecome one of the state’s best run-ning backs.As good as he was a junior, he felthe had some areas to improve onheading into this season.“I spent a lot of time this springjust working on my endurance,”Terrell said. “I was getting kind oftired at the end of last season sothat is one of the main things that Iworked on coming into this season.That’s a big part of the season, justbeing faster and being stronger.”And the work doesn’t stop inspring practice.Terrell added that he has beencontinuing to work on improvinghis up field vision as the season has
progressed.“I have been working a lot at see-ing what was happening ahead onthe field and getting some better re-action time,” Terrell said. “Whenwe are running through plays inpractice, I try to run behind some-body, and if someone comes up andtries to tackle, I work on breakingthe other way. I just keep lookingahead and try to see where the nextspot is and seeing where the playdevelops.”Terrell isn’t satisfied.There is, after all, work left to do,beginning with Friday’s showdownagainst Buford.Getting to the Georgia Dome forthe state-championship game is theultimate objective, he said.“I’m trying hard to accomplishthose goals but I still have somework to do this season,” he said. “Iwant to go all the way to the Domethis year.”
In the first round of theplayoffs, 12 differentWolves carried the ball for319 yards in a 52-22 win.“They are very solid onboth sides of the ball, andthey have a lot of tradi-tion,” Wiggins said.“Three consecutive statetitles and they alwaysfield a great footballteam.”Facing top-notch oppo-nents is nothing new forCallaway, though.In recent years, whetherin the regular season orthe playoffs, Callaway hasplayed a host of big-timeopponents, and the Cava-liers have won their shareof those games."Playing teams likeGAC (Greater AtlantaChristian), Lovett, Carver,Westminster and Fitzger-ald, they are all reallygood football teams thatwe have played and wehave had some greatgames,” Wiggins said. “Iknow that Friday nightwill be an incredible at-mosphere and a goodgame.”The Cavaliers will headinto the game looking tobuild on the momentumthey gained in the secondhalf of last week’smatchup with Rockmart.Callaway was able tocome back from an 8-3deficit to score 27 unan-swered points in the sec-ond half and win 30-8.Superb running backMarquis Terrell had twotouchdowns runs, andquarterback Ricky Parksand fullback Albert Tram-mell each had one scoringrun.Also, Parks connectedwith Terrell on a 55-yardpass play that got the Cav-aliers going in the secondhalf.Callaway’s defense,meanwhile, not only shutthe Yellow Jackets downin the second half but al-lowed fewer than 30yards.“(Defensive coordinatorDusty Hubbard) reallyhad a great point at half-time and challenged thoseseniors to play with pas-sion and those kids cameout and did it,” Wigginssaid. “We played like wewere capable of doing.”The team’s 14 seniors,Wiggins said, made thedifference in the secondhalf.“This senior class thatwe have here is a specialclass and a special groupof kids,” Wiggins said. “Ihave seen them grow overthe past four years andthey have become themost successful class thatwe have had, and they are
excited about the oppor-tunity, and they will beready to go play.”This will, for the seniorsand everyone else on theteam, be the biggest chal-lenge they’ve ever faced.Buford showed why it isa favorite to win a fourthstraight state title with its30-point win in the firstround over a solid HartCounty ballclub.In the first half, Bufordran over, around andthrough Hart County onthe way to a 38-0 lead.It was the 16th straightplayoff victory for theBulldogs, who are tryingto become the first teamsince West Rome (1982-1985) to win four straightstate titles.“The tradition at Bufordis unlike any other,” sen-ior quarterback Alex Rosstold the newspaper inGainesville. “This is a re-ally exciting atmosphereand so much fun to be apart of.”TheWolves run their of-fense out of a basic I-for-mation, and they havepounded teams into sub-mission.Two weeks ago, in theregion-championshipgame against Westmin-ster, the Wolves ran theball 38 times for 372yards.Against Hart County,the Wolves needed just 27carries to amass 319yards while scoring sevenrushing touchdowns.Tailback Seon Jones,who had a 319-yard gameagainst Lovett, leads theway with 819 yards, andfullback DominiqueSwope has 532 yards.Having an offensive linethat averages 254 poundsdoesn’t hurt.Buford’s defense isn’ttoo shabby, either.
The Wolves are givingup fewer than 10 pointsper game, andmost of thepoints they’ve allowedhave come after thestarters left the game,which was the case lastweek.Hart County didn’tscore until the Bufordstarters were yanked outof the game.An explosive Callawayoffense will try to find away to put a dent in thatBuford defense.The Cavaliers havescored 30 or more pointsin seven of their games,and they’ve averagednearly 41 points per gameduring a three-game win-ning streak.Terrell, who has rushedfor 1,500 yards for thesecond straight season,leads the way, and first-year starting quarterbackRicky Parks has been ter-rific all year.Callaway’s defense,which is led by dynamicjunior linebacker JeffreyCameron, has been solidthis season.The Cavaliers gave up41 points to Lovett and 39points to Carver, butthey’ve held five of theiropponents to single digitsin points.Callaway has also beensuperb on special teamsthis season with the com-bination of place kickerTavin Thompson andpunter Colby Dremann.Wiggins knows that theteam will have to have itworking in every aspect ofthe game to hangwith Bu-ford.“We just have to comeout and put together fourquarters like that to beat ateam like Buford,” Wig-gins said. “That is whatwe are going to try and doon Friday night.”
