DEAR ABBY: I’m neverhappy with just one partner.It’s not that I want to go outand have a different manevery night of the week — justsome options. I’m currently ina polyamorous relationship, soseeing other men is OK. Butmy boyfriend is now askingme why I feel the way I do be-cause he is considering becom-ing monogamous again.

I crave something differentfrom man to man and seekwhatever the other one doesn’thave. I have been with my fairshare of guys, yet there does-n’t seem to be one person whohas all the qualities I need inmy life. Should I just stay sin-gle and noncommittal forever?— FICKLE IN FORT WAYNE

DEAR FICKLE: Perhapsnot forever, but for now, yes,until you meet someone whohas more of the qualificationsyou’re looking for. When youdo, you may finally realizethat in successful relation-ships some degree of compro-mise is always involved.

DEAR ABBY: I recentlymarried a wonderful woman Ihave been friends with foryears. I was always secretly inlove with her. We are veryhappy together.

The only problem is thather ex-husband, from whomshe has been divorced for fouryears, was violent. If I try tobrush her hair away from herface or make a sudden move-ment of any kind, she flinchesor panics.

I have never been violentwith anyone, and I know shehas PTSD from her past mar-riage. How should I sensitive-ly broach the subject of coun-seling to deal with this seriousissue? — CONCERNED INTHE MIDWEST

DEAR CONCERNED:When it happens again, tellyour wife calmly that youknow it’s a reflex and see ifyou can get her to tell you whyit happens. At that point youcould suggest she talk to acounselor because you love herand would never hurt her, andwhen she flinches, it hurtsYOU that she’s still carryingaround this heavy baggage.

DEAR ABBY: I am 25. Myhusband is 50, and we havebeen married for three years.We are in a healthy relation-ship, raise his 12-year-old to-gether and are trying for ourown children. We have plansfor the rest of our lives, are ingood health, have regularcheckups, and our life insur-ance and estate planning are

in order.But, Abby, sometimes I find

myself worrying about his age.I cry when I contemplatespending a chunk of my lifealone because I don’t think Icould ever love anyone else asstrongly as I do him. My hus-band is my rock, my reason forliving, and I’m grateful forevery moment I have withhim.

I’m psychologically wellotherwise. These sad feelingsdon’t last longer than a fewhours. Is this normal? ShouldI talk with someone about it?Should I just tell my husbandmy feelings and remind himhow much he means to me? —HAPPILY MARRIED INHENDERSON, NEV.

DEAR HAPPILY MAR-RIED: Your feelings are nor-mal for a woman who is fullyinvested emotionally in herhusband. However, if youranxiety over the possibility oflosing him increases, by allmeans talk to a licensed men-tal health professional aboutit.

As to your last question,whether you should confideyour feelings to him, it wouldbe a beautiful compliment tolet him know you don’t takehis importance in your life forgranted or the joy he hasbrought you. But don’t be sur-prised if, when he hears yousay it, he says the same thingback to you. You both are trulyblessed.

COME SEE WHAT WE HAVE!COME SEE WHAT WE HAVE!

BY MICHAEL ROIZEN,M.D., AND MEHMET OZ,

M.DWhen “Can a Song Save

Your Life?” opened at theToronto Film Festival, produc-ers were hoping a song couldsave their film. We’re hopingyou’ll give a more positive an-swer to a slightly differentquestion: Can you save yourown life? Emergencies such aschoking, poisoning or severebleeding can happen whenyou’re on your own. So here’sour quick rundown of how tomake sure you come out of thecrisis in good shape.

Choking: If you get some-thing stuck in your throat, di-al, 911 and leave the phone off

the hook. Then make a fist.Place your thumb below yourrib cage and above your bellybutton. Grasp your fist withyour other hand. Press thepair into the area with a hard,fast upward motion. OR leanover a table edge, chair or rail-ing. Quickly thrust your upperbelly area (right below yourribcage) against the edge. Re-peat until you dislodge thestuck object.

Severe bleeding: This issurprising: DO NOT immedi-ately use a tourniquet unlessyou’re a doc or under a doc-tor’s supervision (that’s howDr. Oz helped a plumber savea woman’s life this summer).Use clean cloths or paper tow-

els to press down hard on thewound. If the pressure doesn’tstop the bleeding, then apply atourniquet above the wound,never on a joint.

Poisoning: If you have apoisoning emergency, dial 911.If you think you might haveingested too many meds ordangerous chemicals, call Poi-son HELP at 800-222-1222.Don’t induce vomiting - thatcould make things worse.

Dixon

NEW YORK (AP) — TheStandard & Poor’s 500 indexeked out the smallest of gainsto set a record high Monday asinvestors assessed third-quar-ter earnings news.

Earnings will hold in-vestors’ attention this week asmajor U.S. companies includ-ing McDonald’s, Boeing andProcter & Gamble report theirresults. Rising profits havebeen one of the key supportsfor this year’s rally in stocks.

Toymaker Hasbro and theV.F. Corporation, which ownsclothing brands includingWrangler and The North Face,were among the biggest gain-ers in the S&P 500 after re-porting earnings that beat an-alysts’ expectations. McDon-alds dipped after reportingdisappointing revenue.

The S&P 500 closed up afraction of a point at 1,744.66,an all-time high, its third con-secutive record close. Stocksclimbed last week after Wash-ington reached a deal to end a16-day government shutdownand avert a default on the na-tion’s debt. The index is up 22percent so far this year,putting it on track for its bestyear since 2009.

The Dow Jones industrial

average edged down 7.45points, or 0.1 percent, to15,392.20. The Nasdaq com-posite rose 5.77 points, or 0.2percent, to 3,920.05.

Stocks will likely continueadding to their gains, at leastuntil the end of the year, as in-vestors get more confidentthat the market’s rally is sus-tainable, said Joe Bell, a se-nior equities analyst at Scha-effer’s Investment Research.

“We’ve had a pretty decentrun here,” Bell said. “It would-n’t surprise me if we saw themomentum slow a bit throughthe end of October and thenhave a nice rally through No-vember and December.”

McDonald’s fell 61 cents, or0.6 percent, to $94.59 after theworld’s biggest hamburgerchain’s revenue fell short ofWall Street analyst’s expecta-tions. Hasbro surged after re-porting that its net incomerose 17 percent as sales in-creased. Its adjusted resultsand revenue topped analysts’estimates. The stock climbed$2.48, or 5.2 percent, to$49.72. V.F. Corporation rose$6.93, or 3.4 percent, to$211.23 after its earnings beatanalysts’ expectations.

Netflix jumped in after-

hours trading after the compa-ny said its net income quadru-pled to $32 million, or 52 centsa share. That beat analyst ex-pectations for 48 cents ashare. Companies in the S&P500 are expected to reportearnings growth of 3.2 percentfor the July-to-September pe-riod, according to the latestdata from S&P Capital IQ.

About 60 percent of compa-nies that have reported earn-ings have beaten analysts’ ex-pectations.

“Earnings so far have beenexcellent,” said Jerry Braak-man, chief investment officerof First American Trust.“Earnings are coming in andbeating (expectations) by apenny here and there, andwe’re very comfortable withthat.”

Company earnings willlikely continue to grow as theoutlook for the global economybrightens, as Europe contin-ues to recover from its reces-sion and growth in Chinapicks up, Braakman said.

The continued stimulus forthe economy from the FederalReserve should also help sup-port the economy and corpo-rate earnings. The U.S. cen-tral bank is currently buying

$85 billion of bonds everymonth to support the economy.

The government’s monthlyjobs report for September willbe released Tuesday, giving in-vestors more informationabout the strength of the U.S.economy. The report, which istypically released on the firstFriday of every month, wasdelayed because of the govern-ment shutdown.

Economists predict that theU.S. economy added 180,000jobs in September, accordingto data provider FactSet. In-vestors may discount the re-port though, as it is being pub-lished more than two weekslate.

“It’s old information, it’s notas current as it normally is,”said Kate Warne, a marketstrategist at investment ad-viser, Edward Jones.

Homebuilders slumped af-ter Americans bought fewerpreviously occupied homes inSeptember than the previousmonth, held back by highermortgage rates and risingprices. The National Associa-tion of Realtors said Mondaythat sales of re-sold homes fell1.9 percent to a seasonally ad-justed annual rate of 5.29 mil-lion.

S&P 500 ekes out a small gain to set a new record

ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) —Though Wall Street recorded$10.1 billion in profits for thefirst half of 2013, New York’scomptroller says federal bud-get dithering, higher interestrates and litigation may slowearnings for the last half in asecurities industry that haskept trimming jobs.

Comptroller Thomas Di-Napoli projects in a reportTuesday that overall earningshave been limited to $15 bil-lion this year, compared with$23.9 billion last year.

The annual report saysthere were 163,400 total jobson Wall Street in August,down from 168,700 a year ear-lier. But New York’s financialsector still has 2.5 times morejobs than No. 2 California andit pays an average $360,700salary, or about five timesmore than the rest of NewYork City’s private sector.

DiNapoli predicts the in-dustry will continue to stream-line.

This newspaper is committed to the idea that the press shouldtell the truth without prejudice and spread knowledge

without malicious intent.

Roughly a quarter-decade ago, a group ofleaders came up with the idea to challengeyoung, bright and aspiring community frontrunners through a nine-month course thatbecame Leadership Dublin-Laurens County.The course, which got underway recently,

is both an introspective case study for classmembers to recognize personality strengthsand weaknesses in themselves and others, aswell as an outward look at how to make ourcommunity a better place to live and do busi-ness.Along with individual class projects like

the landscaping around the Bicentennial BellTower, the organization has become the chiefsponsor of the annual St. Patrick’s FestivalLeprechaun Contest.These projects aside, the ultimate goal of

Leadership Dublin-Laurens County is togrow the next group of go-getters ready to beentrusted with carrying our communityonward and upward into the future.With 25 years worth of graduates in major

roles in business, industry, government andeducation, we have plenty of examples thatthis program is not only a success it is neces-sary to reach our long-term goals for Dublinand Laurens County.Support this program through participation

or celebration. Grooming tomorrow’s leaderstoday, assures brighter days for tomorrowand beyond.

Cry of the Banshees: Irish win it allConclusionAfter an intensive 11-week

season 50 years ago in 1963,the Dublin Irish took time topause for the state playoffs.In those days, there were onlyfour regions in Class A andonly four participants in thestate tournament, unlike the32-team tournament formatof today. The Irish had thefirst week off while the threetop teams in Region 1 foughtit out to determine who wouldmeet the Banshees in theSouth Georgia Championshipgame. Thomasville trouncedAmericus, a team which dom-inated Dublin in their onlyloss, by the score of 26-0.Then the Bulldogs defeatedregion rival Cook County bypractically the same score.Almost a week before thefirst game, the players andthe nation were stunned bythe assassination ofPresident John F. Kennedy inDallas. The players andcoaches attended a memorialservice at First MethodistChurch before resuming theirpractice schedule.From the beginning, con-

troversy engulfed the game.Thomasville officials refusedto allow a Dublin radio sta-tion to broadcast the game bytelephone back home toDublin. Dublin boosters wereonly allotted 192 reservedseats along the fifty yard line.The seats that were therewere only on one side of thefield, so Dublin andThomasville fans shared thesame side of the field. Thosewho couldn't find a seat, stoodon the opposite side of thefield while the cold winds ofNovember howled throughthe stadium in Thomasville.The ball game was a close

as the Thomasville andDublin fans were crammedinto the seats. Neither teampenetrated the other's goalline during the first half. Inthe third quarter, the Irishmounted their only scoringdrive of the game. Stanleyran the ball for two. Belotefumbled and Perry recoveredfor a 4-yard loss. Perry thentossed a 23 yard pass toHahn. Stanley was held to 1yard gain on first down.Perry turned back to thespeedy Hahn for 16. TheBulldogs caught Stanley inthe backfield for a 2-yard lossand a 1-yard gain. On thirdand long, Perry hooked upwith Hahn for his third catchof the drive on a 14-yard pass.Stanley then took mattersinto his own hands. Hewouldn't be denied. He gath-ered in a screen pass andblasted his way for 12 yards.He took the next handoff atthe 13-yard line and ran it tothe 4. Running behindMarion Mallette and CharlesFaulk, Stanley drove it downto the two. QuarterbackPerry huddled the team and

called "same play." Stanleysqueezed the ball and doveinto the Thomasville end zoneto consummate a twelve-playeighty-yard drive to put theIrish ahead. Tom Perry's kickafter touchdown struck theright goal post and bouncedhaplessly away. It was thenup to the vaunted Bansheedefense to hold the heavilyfavored Bulldog offense.The Thomasville boys

struck back with a one-playforty-five yard drive on runby all-state running backDickie Thompson to tie thescore at 6-6. The snappersnapped. The holder tried toupright the pigskin for thekick. It was all to no avail.As the kicker kicked the hori-zontal ball, the Bansheesswarmed all over it like duckson a June bug. The clock ranout with the score standing ata "sister-kissing" tie, 6-6. In1963, there was no overtime.The winner of the gamewould be determined by giv-ing one point to the teamleading in three categories:most offensive yards, mostfirst downs, and most pene-tration inside the opponent's20 yard line. By virtue oftheir lead in all three cate-gories, the Irish were award-ed three points and won thegame 9-6.Coach Minton Williams

cited the great job of blockingand defense as the reason forthe Dublin win. Larry Jonesstopped a critical Bulldogdrive with a fumble recovery.Another defensive star wasChuck Frost, who had toleave the game early when hebroke his finger in stopping asure Thomasville touchdown.Johnny Malone saved hisbest game of the season forSouth Georgia championship.The championship game

was set at the 8,000 seatNorth Dekalb Stadium.Againall the seats were on the sameside of the field. This timehowever, the Irish were onthe opposite sidelines, all bythemselves. The oppositionwas Tucker High School, whowere playing in their own ter-ritory. Coach Williamsexpected that the boys fromTucker would concentrate onpass defense, so he ran theball and he ran the ball. WithSenior Danny Stanley andSophomore Vic Belote run-ning the ball behind the pow-erful offensive line, theGalloping Green dominatedthe line of scrimmage. Threelong Dublin drives endedwith two fumbles inside the

Tucker 10-yard line and aninterception at the opposi-tion's 3-yard line.The Irish began their first

scoring drive at their own 23.Perry tossed a 22-yard passto Hahn. He came back withanother pass, this one a 29-yard spectacular catch byHahn with 27 seconds left inthe first half. From nearlythe same position on the fieldthat Irish had againstThomasville the week before,Coach Williams, with 14 sec-onds left called for a screenpass, which Stanley againgrabbed and jaunted down tothe Tucker 1 yard line. Withthe clock standing at four sec-onds, Stanley ran behind apowerful block of JackStafford for a 1-yard diveplay. Hahn kicked the extrapoint to give the Irish thelead with no time left to play.Following a quick score by

Tucker, the Irish exhibited astrong ground game to grindout the clock. Taking the ballat their own 3-yard line fol-lowing a Thomasville punt,the Irish moved 89 yards onruns totaling 50 yards byStanley, 25 yards by Belote,and 14 by Chuck Frost. Withthe Irish leading 7-6 and theball at the Tucker 5-yard line,Stanley took the ball on a 4thdown and 1 yard play into theend zone to give Dublin a 13-6 lead after the extra pointattempt sailed wide to theleft.Tucker roared back with a

touchdown which brought thescore perilously close at 13-12.Tucker lined up for a two-point conversion and the lead.That is when the controversy,at least on the part of theTucker fans and the Atlantanewspaper reporter began.The quarterback faked a diveplay into the line. Defensivelineman Larry Jones, wellcoached on the art of goal linedefense, dove at the offensiveend's feet just as he was sup-posed to do and took him out.It just happened that the endwas the one the quarterbackhad called to catch the pass.The front seven Bansheesfocused in on getting to theball. The Tucker quarterback,with his primary receiverlying on the cold tundra,heaved the ball into the endzone praying for a miracle.The miracle never came. Theball landed beyond the graspsof any player. CharlesRoberts of the AtlantaConstitution accused the ref-erees of ignoring a flagranthold by Jones on the play. The

Irish coaches responded to thebaseless charges by statingthat "our player was doingwhat he supposed to do."The Irish tried to put an

insurance touchdown on theboard but were stopped at theTucker 22-yard line with along penalty. Then theBanshee defense made onelast stand and stopped aTucker drive, much to thesheer delight of the 2500Dublin fans who had traveledto the game. The game endedwith the score, Dublin 13,Tucker 12. The game was aclose as you could get. TheDublin one point victory wasmatched by a 2-yard edge inrushing (263-261), a 1-yardmargin in passing (54-53),and a 1-first down deficit (12-13). Each team completedonly three passes. The crowdswarmed the field as the Irishhad captured their third StateChampionship in five years,ended their tenure in Class Aas Kings of Georgia football.The Dublin Irish ended the

season with a record of 11-1.They outscored their oppo-nents by an average of 23-8during the season. The stingyIrish defense held their oppo-nents to an average of lessthan 50 yards a game in pass-ing defense. The Bansheesshut out their opponents fourtimes and held them to sixpoints in three games. Whilethe Atlanta Constitutionignored Minton Williams asits coach of the year in favor ofthe losing coach from Tucker,the Irish placed four memberson the all state team.Quarterback Tom Perry, halfback Danny Stanley, and endRobbie Hahn joined CharlesFaulk, a repeater from the1962 team at tackle. Soended the last championshipseason for 43 years.The primary members of

the 1963 Class A StateFootball Champions were:Vic Belote, Louie Blue, DonBracewell, Ronald Cook, OthaDixon, Ben Eubanks, CharlesFaulk, Jimmy Fort, ChubForth, Chuck Frost, RobbieHahn, Charlie Harpe, StanleyJohnson, Larry Jones, MarionMallette, Johnny Malone,Danny Misseri, Tom Perry,Johnny Phelps, Alan Powell,Dwyane Rowland, Joel Smith,Bernard Snellgrove, EarlSnipes, Jack Stafford, DannyStanley, Ben Stephens, EdwinWheeler, Derious Williams,Brooks Wright, and FreemanYoung.

crimes for which he was convict-ed." The court released its rul-ing Monday.

District Attorney Craig Fras-er, who prosecuted the case, saidHazley was the son of formerDublin Police officer Robert Ha-zley. The murder happened onNov. 12, 2006. A Laurens Coun-ty jury found White guilty onJune 8, 2007 and he was sen-tenced to life in prison. AttorneyStephen Yekel representedWhite during the trial.

In a press release, Fraserwas glad that the long ordealwas over for the Hazley family.

"I would like to thank all lawenforcement and the staff of theDistrict Attorney's office for thework which ensured that justiceprevailed," Fraser said.

White's attorney Jim Garnerfilled a motion for a new trial onNov. 7, 2011. Garner alleged inhis motion that a new trialshould be granted to White be-cause of ineffective assistance ofcounsel.

Assistant District AttorneyBrad Childers represented thestate before the Supreme Courtof Georgia and presented oralarguments in June in Atlanta.

The summary of this casecan be found on the SupremeCourt of Georgia website(www.gasupreme.us).

In his arguments in June,Garner said that Hazley wasshot once in the face with a .380handgun in the area of Glen-wood Park and East GarnerStreet. Dublin Police officersfound Hazley in front of the Vic-tory Temple of God Church.

White was arrested two dayslater, and in interviews whichwere done without his parentsor lawyer, eventually admitted

he was guilty.Garner claims White had an

incompetent lawyer who did notinterview or pursue witnesseswho have said that White hadan alibi.

According to prosecutors,White learned the night beforethe murder that his girlfriendhad walked to the store with an-other boy that he did not know.The state said White shot Haz-ley because he thought he wasthe boy who had been with hisgirlfriend.

According to a summary ofthe events, White was inter-viewed three times over a seven-hour period at the Dublin PoliceDepartment. He was read hisMiranda rights, but his parentswere not there at the time. Inthe first interview around 11a.m., White said he was not atthe crime scene but that some-body else had fired the shot.

An hour later, White told po-lice that he wasn't at the scene,but had spent the entireevening at home with his moth-er and stepfather who could ver-ify he had been with them. Inthe third interview around 6:34p.m., White confessed that heshot Hazley in the face with a.380 pistol. His recorded state-ments were played to the jury.

In June 2007, the jury con-victed White of felony murderand was sentenced to life inprison.

Garner said there was "insuf-ficient" evidence to find hisclient guilty beyond a reason-able doubt. Garner said White'sattorney during the trial was in-

effective, making a number ofmistakes. One of which was fil-ing a notice with the court with-in the time required that hewould present evidence showingWhite had an alibi the night ofthe crime.

Because of this, the judge in-structed White before giving histestimony, that he could not sayhe was not present during themurder. Garner said White wasdeprived of his representation ofcounsel guaranteed by the SixthAmendment. According to Gar-ner, the jury never heard testi-mony from White's mother andstepfather.

The state argued thatWhite's trial attorney was com-petent and effective. It contend-ed that White's attorney made astrategic and calculated deci-sion about the alibi becausethere was no alibi defense. Ac-cording to the state, during apre-trial hearing, White's step-father said White had been withhim the night of the murder.But he admitted leaving thehouse to walk to the laundromatand waited for his clothes to dry.He even went to a grocery storebefore going back home.

Because of this, the stepfa-ther's testimony would not helpwith an alibi because it didn'tmean White was not at thescene of the murder. This alsowas not White's main defensewhich was someone else shotHazley. White's attorney said atleast two other people had mo-tive and could have been theshooter.

consequences of what just hap-pened."

According to data, a womanis typically the victim while thesuspect is usually the man.Mertz said that domestic vio-lence can be more than physi-cal altercations. It can be fi-nancial control or propertydamage.

"I've taught domestic vio-lence everywhere in Georgiaand in other states," Mertzsaid. "Domestic violence is thesame in Detroit as it is righthere in Dublin, Ga."

Laurens County Sheriff BillHarrell said it's important forlaw enforcement officers tohave training on domestic vio-lence.

"This puts everybody on thesame page and makes surethey know what needs to bedone when they have a domes-tic violent situation," Harrellsaid. "Some folks don't knowhow to be safe. By doing thisclass, we'll know how to getthem out of that environmentand get them somewhere safe."

Taskforce chairman CherylBanks believed the program isimportant for the agencies whoattended the event. Banks saidthey had law enforcementmembers from LCSO, Dublin

Police Department, Swains-boro, Soperton, Treutlen Coun-ty, Dodge County and Oak HillPolice Department.

"They have gotten a wealthof information," Banks said. "Itwas a long but informationalday for them."

Domestic violence is anemotional situation. Manytimes, the victim stays out offear.

"That keeps them there,"Banks said. "The victim justwants the battery to stop.

That's all. They want the vio-lence, hitting and abuse tostop. They remember the timethat person didn't abuse them.Abusers appear to be loving,but there is a demon inside."

Banks said law enforcementofficers in this community andthe surrounding counties,know that everything they dois proper. They are also learn-ing about information they cangive out to the victims.

"There have been cards giv-en out by Wings," Banks said.

"That way victims will knowthat they don't have to stay inthat situation"

According to Banks, be-tween 2003 and 2013, therehas been 10 deaths from do-mestic violence in LaurensCounty.

"Folks have lost their livesin our community because ofdomestic violence," Harrellsaid. "We've got to make astatement. We've got to do ourjob and do it right."

Wilkinson County resident sentenced forfood stamp fraud and money laundering

By JAMES TIDWELLA Wilkinson County man is

facing federal jail time andpaying restitution after beingsentenced for fraud and foodstamp fraud and money laun-dering.

Michael J. Moore, UnitedStates Attorney for the MiddleDistrict of Georgia, announcedthat Elbert Eugene Shinhol-ster, age 77 of Wilkinson Coun-ty, was sentenced on Friday bythe Honorable C.Ashley Royal,Chief United States DistrictJudge, in Macon to serve 40months imprisonment and topay $4,680,557.20 in restitu-tion to the food stamp pro-gram, Department of Healthand Services, as the result ofhis plea of guilty on January30, 2012, to federal charges ofone count each of food stampfraud and money laundering.

“The food stamp programwas established for the noblepurpose of providing food forneedy families, especially the

children of those families,”said United States AttorneyMichael Moore. “Not only didMr. Shinholster defraud theprogram, he damaged it byproviding ammunition to thosedetractors who believe thatthis type of government pro-gram is rife with fraud andshould be eliminated. Withevery dollar that Mr. Shinhol-ster took for himself, a needychild in Georgia could havebeen fed.”

The case was investigatedby the Internal Revenue Ser-vice Criminal Investigationsand prosecuted by AssistantUnited States AttorneysMichael Solis and Danial Ben-nett.

As part of his plea of guilty,Shinholster admitted that asthe owner and operator ofShinholster’s Grocery andMeat Market located in Irwin-ton he illegally conspired withalmost 2,000 food stamp recip-ients to defraud the food stamp

program.As part of the scheme, each

food stamp recipient wouldprovide Shinholster with anelectronic benefits transfercard and personal identifica-tion number. Shinholsterwould then run the EBT cardthrough the point of sale ma-chine administered by theFood Stamp Program asthough the cardholder hadpurchased food when, in fact,the cardholder got cash in-stead.

Shinholster admitted thathe knew that an EBT card wasto be used to purchase food on-ly and not to be sold for cash.The illegal EBT debit wouldinclude an additional 30 per-cent of the cash amount asprofit for Shinholster.

“This was a case of greedand a serious crime,” saidVeronica F. Hyman-Pillot, Spe-cial Agent in Charge, InternalRevenue Service Criminal In-vestigations.

Ethics agency close to finalizing outside probeATLANTA (AP) — Key de-

tails of who will handle anoutside investigation into thestate ethics commission areclose to being finalized, thepanel’s chairman said Mon-day.

It’s been three weeks sincethe board of the ethics com-mission voted to request aspecial assistant attorneygeneral be appointed to lookinto circumstances surround-ing two lawsuits against theagency as well as unspecifiedpersonnel issues.

The commission has beensued by its former executivesecretary and her deputy, whoclaim retaliation for work in-vestigating ethics complaintsfiled against Gov. NathanDeal. Those lawsuits arepending in Fulton County Su-

perior Court.Commission Chairman

Kevin Abernethy said in atelephone interview that hisfellow commissioners havevetted a number of differentoptions and are close to identi-fying the appropriate peopleto run the investigation.

“We have spent consider-able time and hours thinkingthrough — as we would anyinvestigation — as to the bestway we would handle it,”Abernethy said.

He declined to answerquestions about the scope ofthe inquiry, saying he wantsthe investigation to remainindependent.

Eventually, Deal agreed topay $3,350 in administrativefees to settle the ethics com-plaints, which centered on his

personal financial and cam-paign finance reports.

Among those called to pro-vide depositions in the twopending lawsuits are currentcommission Executive Secre-tary Holly LaBerge and StaffAttorney Elisabeth Murray-Obertein, who was hired byLaBerge. In recent weeks,Murray-Obertein has airedconcerns about LaBerge, say-ing LaBerge has on more thanone occasion said the governor“owes her” for taking care ofhis ethics complaints.

That prompted a scathingresponse from Deal, who saidhe doesn’t know LaBerge anddoesn’t owe her anything.LaBerge’s attorney has deniedthe claims against her, sayingshe treated the complaints ina fair and impartial way.

Johnson County, West Laurensquarterbacks share weekly honor

By Rick NolteSports Editor

Quarterbacks Garrel Quainton of WestLaurens and Michael Taylor of JohnsonCounty produced a lot of yards and points inGHSA region victories last week to shareCourier Herald Player of the Week honors.Quainton, a 6-foot-3 junior, completed 7 of

13 passes for 121 yards and two touchdowns,and added two short scoring runs to powerthe Raiders to a 35-7 romp of Howard fortheir first win in 2AAAA. The effort was eas-ily Quainton's best game ofthe season and played a keyrole in the Raiders mostcomplete game in snappinga four-game losing streak."Garrel played a really

solid game," West coachStacy Nobles said. "Hethrew the ball with a lot ofconfidence and really onlyhad two throws that weren'ton the money all night."Taylor, a 5-7 junior, rolled

up 247 yards of total offense and had a handin 23 of the Trojans points in a 34-13 winagainst 3A-A rival Treutlen. Taylor, whoearned the weekly honor for the second timethis season, completed 10 of 16 passes for157 yards and three touchdowns and a con-version pass, and ran 10 times for 92 yards."He was about a play from getting

benched," said Johnson County coach DonNorton, who's team used a 21-point finalquarter to seal the victory. "We didn't getmuch from Mike in the first half, and I hadto give him a little butt chewing."Quainton, a two-year starter, began his

night with a 45-yard touchdown pass toJustin Smith on the first play after Howardfumbled on its first snap. He later hit Calvin

Walker with a 4-yarder for a score, andadded a pair of keeper's for TDs in between."He got hammered on the first TD pass to

Justin," Nobles said. "He stood in there andmade the throw. He had a beautiful touch-down pass to Jalen (Gordon) called back inthe first half and had another one dropped soit could've been an even bigger night."For the season, Quainton is 70-for-149 for

807 yards and five touchdowns with fourinterceptions.Norton's words at halftime provided plen-

ty of motivation for Taylor, who connected onall of his touchdown passesin the second half."I just couldn't get anythinggoing in the first half,"Taylor said. "I was frustrat-ed. Coach calmed me downand we started clicking."Added Norton: "Mike is oneof those guys who can take achewing out. He's a teamguy. He knows when he's notplaying the way he can. Weneeded to get him going to

get us going. We let him throw it around a lit-tle and he settled down."Taylor had tosses of 25 and 24 yards to

Markel Harden early in the second half, thenfinished the night with a 45-yarder toRonquez Harden after Treutlen had closedwithin 28-13 with 7:26 left in the game.The 25-yarder to Horne with 3:19 left in

the third quarter snapped the halftime tie.The second capped a burst of two touch-downs in a span of 13 seconds after Treutlenfumbled the kickoff following Keith Hall's32-yard TD run with 9:24 left in the game."I had a few long ones, but most of (yards)

were on short passes that the guys made aplay with," Taylor said. "I just got the ballout to them and they did the rest."

most by necessity, weren’twide-eyed at all. They remem-bered the teaching and just lettheir ability flow.“There’s definitely nerves

that are going on,” 22-year-oldpitcher Michael Wacha saidafter beating Dodgers aceClayton Kershaw twice in theNL championship series.“You’ve just got to be able tocontrol them and try to usethem to your advantage outthere.“Just not let the moment

get too big, just take deepbreaths.”The Cardinals are in the

postseason for the 10th time in14 years. Fresh off their 19thpennant, they’ll go for theirsecond championship in threeyears when they open theWorld Series against theBoston Red Sox on Wednesdaynight at Fenway Park.Since new ownership took

over from Anheuser-Busch in1996, only the Yankees havemore playoff victories than St.Louis.

defense, including a deeperrotation on the defensive frontwith rookie defensive endsStansly Maponga andMalliciah Goodman added tothe mix.Maponga was limited in

training camp while recoveringfrom ankle surgery. TheFalcons used the bye week toadd depth to the defensive line.“I thought it worked very

well for us,” Smith said. “Wehad much better pressure. Wewere able to sack the quarter-back three times. We hadopportunities for a coupleother plays, but I thought itwas nice to see some of theyounger guys stepping up.”Also, rookie cornerbacks

Desmond Trufant and RobertAlford had new roles withTrufant playing the nickelback and Alford moving out-side in passing situations.Smith said the Falcons also

wanted to play more of anattacking style on defense.The more aggressive style

showed when safeties WilliamMoore and Thomas DeCoudeach blitzed on Tampa Bay’ssecond play of the game. Mooresacked quarterback MikeGlennon, forcing a fumble, andDeCoud returned the recovery30 yards for a touchdown.Defensive coordinator Mike

Nolan moved to the field fromthe press box level for thegame so he could have bettercommunication with the play-ers, including the two-safetyblitz which produced the defen-sive touchdown.

Runners-up at Jones County Invitational

Submitted photo

West Laurens High School’s competition cheerleaders finished second placetheir division at the Greyhound Invitational hosted by Jones County at GeorgiaCollege on Sept. 28. West Laurens also had the winning Lib-off stunt group, whosemembers were Heather Milks, Anna Coleman, Xenathia Green, Shannon Sapp, andJessie Shepard.

The pitching staff is deep,thanks to the farm system.Shelby Miller had a 3.06

ERA this season and led majorleague rookies with 15 wins.Yet when the playoffs rolledaround, there was no room forhim in the rotation.Wacha is 3-0 with a 0.43

postseason ERA, and fellowrookie Trevor Rosenthal seizedthe closer’s job in Septemberwhen Edward Mujica faltered.Carlos Martinez stepped intothe setup role, Seth Manessinduced 16 double-play balls tolead NL relievers, and left-hander Kevin Siegrist posted a0.45 ERA.None of them shake off

catcher Yadier Molina, himselfa product of The Cardinal Wayfarm system.

“The minor leagues, they’redoing a good job teaching themhow to pitch, teaching themhow to control the emotions,”Molina said. “Whenever theymove up here, they’re ready.Mentally, they’re ready fromthe get-go.”No doubt, they’ve gotten a

little lucky, too.General manager John

Mozeliak appreciates theorganization-wide recognition,but couldn’t have predictedmost of the prospects wouldcome through this quickly.Wacha’s sudden dominance isa pleasant surprise, and thesame goes for Rosenthal andfill-in first baseman MattAdams.John Gast arrived with zero

expectations and won his firsttwo career starts. Tyler Lyons,hardly a name on the tip of any

fan’s tongue, won his first twostarts as well.“None of that would have

seemed right. Right?”Mozeliak said. “Our expecta-tions were not for them to haveso many fingerprints on thisclub.“It’s a great commentary on

the organization.”Most of the World Series

roster is homegrown, a strate-gy emphasizing scoutingexpertise and consistency ininstruction that allows theCardinals to keep runningwith the big spenders.When longtime slugger and

franchise icon Albert Pujolsleft following the 2011 title fora $240 million contract withthe Angels, Allen Craigstepped in at first base andblossomed into a big RBI guyat a fraction of the price.

17 victory over No. 22 Floridaqualified as an upset. TheGators were favored by threepoints.The flurry of upsets caused

a shake-up in the Top 25released Sunday. Missourisoared to No. 5, and Auburnrose to No. 11. LSU tumbled toNo. 13, Texas A&M fell to No.14 and South Carolina slippedto No. 20. Georgia and Floridadropped out of the rankingsentirely.It’s unclear whether five

ranked SEC teams had lost onthe same day before, but ithadn’t happened in the last 20years, according to STATS.Four ranked SEC teams fellthe week of Oct. 20, 2007. Thismarked the first time Florida,LSU and Georgia all lost onthe same day since Sept. 20,1986.Vanderbilt beat a ranked

foe for the first time since2008. Tennessee ended a 19-game losing streak against Top25 opponents. Missouri beatranked teams in back-to-backweeks for the first time since1973.The rise of Missouri and

Auburn exemplified how muchthings have changed in theSEC.One year after going 3-9

and failing to win any confer-ence games, Auburn is 6-1under new coach GusMalzahn. Missouri has gonefrom 5-7 in 2012 to 7-0 thisseason. Missouri has a com-manding lead in the EasternDivision, where every other

team has at least two confer-ence losses.“I thought we were going to

have a good football team,”Missouri coach Gary Pinkelsaid. “I don’t know why every-body else thought we weren’tgoing to have a good footballteam.”Injuries have shaken up the

Eastern Division.Florida lost quarterback

Jeff Driskel and star defensivetackle Dominique Easley forthe season. Georgia is dealingwith season-ending injuries torunning back Keith Marshalland wide receivers MalcolmMitchell and Justin Scott-Wesley. The Bulldogs haveplayed their last three gameswithout star running backTodd Gurley.That takes a toll, particu-

larly when a team is on theroad. Of the five ranked teamsthat fell this week, only TexasA&M was at home. It’s worthnoting that injuries to theirstarting quarterbacks didn’tprevent Missouri andVanderbilt from winning.“I don’t care who you are,

you can get beat anySaturday,” Freeze said. “That’sespecially true with any of thehome crowds in the SEC. Ifyou’re on the road, the homecrowd can pick up a team andcarry them. Then you throw inthe injuries. Everybody in thisleague has injuries, and theinjuries change everything youdo and what your opponent cando. “Alabama has remained

immune to upsets. After edg-ing Texas A&M 49-42 on Sept.

Grambling players returnAssociated Press

GRAMBLING, La. — Naquan Smith and hisGrambling football teammates have no regretsabout a nearly weeklong boycott that forced theuniversity to forfeit its game against JacksonState on Saturday.Grambling players stood behind Smith

Monday during a press conference outside ofthe Eddie Robinson Museum on campus. Smithsaid the entire team was present and that thevote to return to the field was “100 percent.”“The football team took a stance on what we

thought was right,” Smith said. “We did notquit on our university. There are many prob-lems that exist and if no one says anything,nothing will become of our institution. We hopecoach Eddie Robinson and his legendary play-ers appreciate we took a stand and thought wewere right.”Grambling’s players staged the boycott

because of many issues with university leaders,including the school’s rundown facilities, longbus trips to road games and personnel deci-sions.

Grambling President Frank Pogue saidMonday night that players would not face anyrepercussions for the boycott, and that thenational attention would help publicize thefunding plight for historically black collegesand universities like Grambling.Pogue said work is already scheduled to

improve conditions in the football weight room.“We will continue to support our football

team — our players,” Pogue said. “We will payattention, obviously, as much as we can finan-cially to enhance all the athletic facilitiesincluding those in football. My concern now iswe move forward together. The students haveexpressed themselves, their opinions.”Smith said players decided end the boycott

after reaching out to several Grambling greats,including former coach Doug Williams, whoadvised them to, “Go out there and play ball.”Smith said although the team will play, “We

have not forgotten the situation and how we’vegotten here.”Players refused to travel to Saturday’s game

at Jackson State, a forfeit, because of issueswith university leaders.
