On Oct. 24, the LaurensCounty Sheriff's Office held aself-defense class for approxi-mately 34 women.

"I think we’ve had a prettygood turnout, and I think theyare enjoying it right now,"said Laurens County SheriffBill Harrell. "We sometimeshold this twice a year, just ac-cording to how things are go-ing that year. We want themto be familiar with theirweapons and make sure theyare firing them the right way,not the wrong way."

They began the morning in

the training room at the Geor-gia State Patrol. Harrelltalked about safety issues be-fore assistant district attorneyTerry Holland answered ques-tion about the firearm licenselaw.

"This class helps becausethey get some operational in-structions on how to use afirearm, in a safe manner,"Holland said. "In addition tothat, they cover some of the le-galities of firearm ownershipand their rights and responsi-bilities as far as carrying afirearm."

After LCSO Deputy SidHarrison talked about fireand safety, the group droveacross town to the firingrange. Once there, they metother deputies who were there

was sent to a Macon hospitalafter he was shot twice in thechest by his sister's boyfriendSaturday afternoon.

Jermal Mitchell, 23, wascharged with the aggravatedassault of Derenzo Kinchen, al-so known as Johnny Simms,said Dublin Police DepartmentChief Wayne Cain. The shoot-ing happened at 3:08 p.m. Sat-urday.

According to a police report,officers responded to the High-land Wood Apartments at 1819Highland Avenue in referenceto a gunshot victim.

Kinchen was shot by

Mitchell in front of the apart-ments near Building D. Cainsaid both men had been in-volved in an earlier altercationthat same day concerning aproblem at Apartment D2where Kinchen's sister, DeidreStanley, who is datingMitchell, lives. Mitchell andKinchen also told police theylive at that apartment.

"Mitchell was arrested atthe scene and transported tothe police department for ques-tioning," Cain said. "Mitchelltold the officers that he shotKinchen in self-defense."

After the earlier conflict,

BByy SSAANNDDYY AALLDDRRIIDDGGEELaurens County Schools of-

ficially approved the loweringof its millage rate on Friday ata called midday meeting. Themillage was rolled back 1.314mills in order to prevent asteep increase in taxes overlast year's $11.6 million. Thisyear's levy will bring in al-most the same amount of taxas last year's at $11.75 mil-

lion, only a 1.26 percent in-crease.

The new 2015 tax digestand five-year history of levywas published in the Oct. 16edition of The Courier Herald.The digest made public thefact that Laurens CountySchools have kept taxes exact-ly the same or very close tothe same amount for sixstraight years.

In other action, the boardpassed a request for waiver ofState Board Rule 160-5-1-.29for the 2015-16 school year toallow the district to spend lessthan 65 percent of its funds ondirect classroom expendituresdue to hardship from recentyears.

The system hopes not tohave to use this request, but itis customary to have it on file

just in case it is needed, ac-cording to SuperintendentJuli Alligood.

In other action, the boardaccepted the resignations ofthree noncertified employees:custodian James Waldrepfrom East Laurens High, parapro Rebecca Perry fromNorthwest Laurens Elemen-tary and bus driver EdwardFountain from East Laurens

Primary. Final action taken by the

board was to approve ninehours of training to be doneDec. 3, 2015, and in February2016 by all five members ofthe board. They will attend aGeorgia School Board Associa-tion Law Workshop nextmonth, then participate inwhole board training for threehours in February.

ST. PETERSBURG, Russia(AP) — Only an external impactcould have caused a Russianplane to dive into the Egyptiandesert, killing all 224 people onboard, Metrojet airline officialssaid Monday, adding to a seriesof confusing statements from in-vestigators that left unclear whythe plane broke up in mid-flight.

"We rule out a technical faultof the plane or a pilot error,"Alexander Smirnov, deputy gen-eral director of Metrojet, told anews conference Monday inMoscow. "The only possible ex-planation could be an externalimpact on the airplane."

Russian aviation authoritieswere quick to chide the companyfor jumping the gun on the in-vestigation, calling its commentspremature.

Smirnov said the planedropped 300 kph (186 mph) in

speed and 1.5 kilometers (about5,000 feet) in altitude oneminute before it crashed Satur-day.

But when pressed for moredetails about the type of impactand what could have caused it,Smirnov insisted that hewas notat liberty to discuss details be-cause the investigation was on-going. He also did not explainwhether he meant somethinghad hit the plane or that someexternal factor had caused thecrash.

Smirnov described the A321-200 as a reliable aircraft thatwould not fall into a spin even ifthe pilots made a grave error.

how heavy time can be -- andnow two new studies confirmit: Turns out the span of hoursin a day that you consumefood and how late you stay upare directly related to the ex-cess weight you pack on.

Those tasty morsels of re-search come on the heels ofthe news that the obesity ratein the U.S. is at or above 30

percent in 22 states and nostate is below 21 percent.Clearly, many of you wouldlike easy-to-use tools to im-prove weight management! Well, those two studies offer

you that! The first one, fromthe Salk Institute for Biologi-cal Studies, shows that mostfolks spread their food intakeover 15 hours or more a day!But when study volunteers cutdown their grazing time from14 hours to 10 or 11 hours,they lost an average of 3.5 per-cent of their excess bodyweight in 16 weeks!

The other study, from UCBerkeley, found that over afive-year period, for every

hour adolescents (we bet it af-fects adults, too) pushed theirbedtime later, their body massindex went up 2.1 points!

So apply these two simpletechniques -- eat for fewerhours and go to bed earlier --and you'll lose some of thatheart-harming, diabetes-in-ducing, joint-damagingweight!

DEAR ABBY: I have beenfriends with "Janet" for eightyears. We have been veryclose, talk often, and go tolunch three times a month.We are like two peas in a podand have always been honestwith each other. Our relation-ship is open and aboveboard.

On a recent holiday, I wentto her house for a party, gotdrunk and made an inappro-priate comment to one of herfriends, who had also had toomuch to drink. Janet calledme out in front of the others,demanded I apologize, told methat what I had said was dis-respectful, and said she does-n't want to see me again.

Abby, she tossed out aneight-year friendship over onecomment. I don't understand.Do you? -- STUPID GUY OUTWEST

DEAR GUY: Not knowingwhat you said, I can onlyguess it was so far off thecharts that you offended notonly the person to whom thecomment was directed, but al-so Janet and the other guestsat the party. She may have re-acted the way she did becauseyou have done similar thingsin the past. You will have aclearer understanding if youtalk to her about it when youcall to apologize.

DEAR ABBY: What can Ido about my boss? I haveworked at a bus company for23 years. My new boss startedsix months ago. He jokes andlaughs with all the other

ladies in the office, but when itcomes to me, he's all business.He talks to me only aboutthings that are work-related,and when I try to talk to himabout anything else, he givesme a forced grin and walksaway. Any suggestions? --FEELING LEFT OUT

DEAR FEELING: Yournew boss may be intimidatedbecause of your seniority andexperience. It may also be be-cause of your age. I am unsureof his reason for treating youdifferently, but your nextmove should be to have a talkwith your boss to express yourfeelings about this.

DEAR ABBY: Would youlike to know how my mom re-duced the stress of Thanksgiv-ing on our family? My siblingsall live locally, so holidays be-

came more and more compli-cated as they tried to planaround both sides of the fami-ly and start family traditionsof their own with their kids.

Mom solved the problem bymoving our Thanksgiving cel-ebration to the Sunday before.That way we had Saturday toprepare, didn't have kids ask-ing all morning when we weregoing to eat and didn't have tocompete with a football game.Mom put the turkey in theoven on Sunday morning be-fore we went to church, and anhour after we got home it wasready to eat.

My folks and single siblingslet people know they wereavailable on ThanksgivingDay and were invited to thehomes of other family orfriends. As Mom grew older,the gathering became apotluck and other relativeswere invited, including the in-laws who were not availableon Thursday. -- CARRYINGON THE TRADITION

DEAR CARRYING ON:You mention your mother inthe past tense, so I assumethat she is no longer with us.If she were, I would ask you toplease tell her for me that hersolution was brilliant.

JERUSALEM (AP) — Israelitroops shot dead a Palestinianwho they say tried to stab a sol-dier in the West Bank on Mon-day, in the latest such incident inmore than a month of violence.Palestinian officials said he was16 years old.

The military said the incidentwas the third attempted stab-bing near the checkpoint be-tween the West Bank and Israelin recent weeks. After soldiersapproached two Palestinians ata gas station, one attempted tostab a soldier with a knife beforethe soldiers shot him, the armysaid.

Forces treated the woundedPalestinian at the scene, thearmy said, but he died of hiswounds. The other Palestinianwas arrested. The official Pales-tinian news agency Wafa said hewas wounded in the incident.A series of Palestinian attackslinked to tensions over a sensi-tive Jerusalem holy site began inmid-September. In addition tothe near-daily attacks, violentdemonstrations have erupted inIsrael, the West Bank and Gaza,with Palestinian stone-throwersclashing with Israeli troops.

Eleven Israelis have beenkilled in Palestinian attacks,mostly stabbings. Sixty-ninePalestinians have died by Israelifire, including 43 who Israel sayswere involved in attacks or at-tempted attacks.

Rights groups say some of thekillings were unjustified becausethe Palestinians did not pose athreat to soldiers' lives.

A military investigationfound that the shooting death ofan 18-year-old Palestinianwoman by Israeli forces lastmonth could have been avoided,Israeli media reported. The mili-tary had no immediate commenton the report.

"Kinchen came out with a ri-fle in his possession and point-ed it at Mitchell," Cain said.

After some words were ex-changed, Mitchell shot him.

Kinchen was transported byEMS from the scene and laterflown by Air Evac to a Maconhospital. He is currently in sta-ble condition.

Kinchen hasn't beencharged yet because of his med-ical conditions.

cided to try it. I joined and Ididn't do well the first twoyears. I adjusted over timeand took it a tour of at a time.I was offered graduate schoolat the 10 year mark. The waythe Navy offers graduateschool to its nurses is if youare selected into a program,your job for two years is to goto school. Then you serve anadditional four years back.From that point on, I neverlooked back. Every tour camewith a unique opportunity,and I really had a blast. Theirony is 20 years later, I wasthe commanding officer at thePensacola hospital. Life isironic.

TTCCHH:: In the Navy you gotto go places. Was there any fa-vorite destination?

MMoorrrroo :: People ask me thatall the time. I really just lovedevery place I have ever lived.I spent quite a bit of time inAnnapolis at the base there. Ialways thought that was aplace I'd like to go back to.Then I went to Charlestonand I liked it too. Now I'mhere in Dublin and I'm enjoy-ing it here too. I enjoyed all ofmy overseas experiences too. Iwent to Spain, England andJapan. In Japan I was thechief nurse. It was equally en-joyable and a wonderful expe-rience. The nice thing aboutserving a long time in the mil-itary is that you end up withfriends around the world.That's just fantastic.

TTCCHH:: While serving in theNavy, were you a nurse?

MMoorrrroo :: I was always anurse and I'm still a nurse.

TTCCHH:: Did you go to Vil-lanova wanting to be a nurse?

MMoorrrroo :: Yes. I was acceptedthere to the College of Nurs-ing. I always wanted to be anurse. I thought of other ar-eas, but I always wanted to bea nurse. My cousin is a fewyears older than me and is al-so a nurse. I saw how it wasthrough her eyes.

TTCCHH:: How do you feelabout your first six months inDublin?

MMoorrrroo :: I am pleasantlysurprised. I'm used to relocat-ing from large urban areas tosmall remote places. I knewthat Dublin was one of thesmaller remote places. But Idon't think I've ever experi-enced such a warm welcomingfrom the community. Forsomeone who has only livedhere six months, I feel so con-nected. There are so many op-

portunities and invitations todo things in the community.This is a hard job and I feelthat all of my partners in thecommunity are there askingwhat they can do for the vet-erans. The turnout, supportand welcome makes me feellike I've been here for years.

TTCCHH:: You like to be seen atdifferent events in town?

MMoorrrroo :: You kind of learnwhen you are in the militarythat you are not an island.You cannot do what needs tobe done in the healthcare are-na, particularly for the veter-an, without the support of thecommunity. I need to embracethat and give back. I've got tosupport the community. Beingpresent and getting involvedis part of the role of an execu-tive. You aren't just runningthe hospital; you are buildingrelationships with all of thosethat it is important to tap in-to as it pertains to the day-to-day operation and care of theveterans.

TTCCHH:: The VA has beenfilled with controversythroughout the country. Youknew there would be chal-lenges?

MMoorrrroo :: There are moreveterans accessing the VA forcare. Our community part-ners are there and available.Congress enacted legislationwhich allows us to use theChoice Card to help us pur-chase the care that we can'tprovide internally, becausewe don't offer it or we can't doit in a timely way because thedemand is beyond what weproduce. There are alwayscomplications that you don'tanticipate. It takes all of usworking together to workthrough it and make sure itworks more efficiently. Dublinhas seen a steady five percentincrease in unique veteransthat use us. More veteransare choosing to use the VA. Alot of veterans, are choosingto wait beyond the 30 days be-cause they want to get theircare here. Are we where Iwant us to be? Absolutely not.We still struggle. We are try-ing to work smarter and bemore efficient internally, andwe have been doing that. Weare looking to cut down waittimes, and we want to knowhow to help them.

TTCCHH:: Your nursing back-ground helps with your rolehere?

MMoorrrroo :: As a nurse, youhave to understand every partof that entity and how it re-lates. You have to know how

food services, pharmacy, laband other facilities work. Youreally figure out how thewhole system comes to work.You have to understand thewhole complexity and not justthat one unit. I always want-ed to try a little bit of every-thing. I really liked trying allsorts of new experiences. As anurse, you love taking care ofthat patient. As I got intoleadership roles, I loved tak-ing care of brand new nursesand developing them. I like towatch their careers grow. I re-ally love developing my staff.I like to see them start out,grow and learn. They havethe ideas. I like to empowermy staff to bring in thoseideas.

TTCCHH:: What are some ofyour hobbies?

MMoorrrroo :: I love being out-doors. I love to sail, walk, ridea bicycle and hike. I like tocook and read. I like to docommunity service by gettinginvolved in my church or com-munity.

TTCCHH:: How did you get intosailing?

MMoorrrroo :: As I was stationedat the Naval Academy as theschool nurse, all of the staffwas encouraged to get in-volved in the Midshipmen ac-tivities. A friend of mine saidI needed to check out theirsailing program. It was a oneyear program. I had sailed be-fore, but I strictly sat on theboat. For a year, I learnedhow to sail. I became qualifiedto be an offshore skipper. I gotan education of a lifetime. Idid a little bit of racing butmostly went with the mid-shipmen on their summercruises and got used to theopen ocean. Everywhere Iwent with the Navy therewere always opportunities tosail. I'm having a hard timefinding an opportunity here. Iwas one of the skippers ofchoice because I'm a nurse. Imade sure they wouldn't getseasick. There are a lot ofways to stub fingers or toes.

TTCCHH:: I know you being aveteran, you like to take careof other veterans. That's prob-ably one of the main thingsyou like about your job?

MMoorrrroo :: Absolutely. It's apopulation I've served my en-tire professional career. I'mproud and honored to contin-ue to serve. It's what gets methrough each day and I loveit. They give me energy andmotivation. It's easy to cometo work every day. I really en-joy it.

to assist them while they wereshooting.

While half the group lis-tened to Harrison on the firingrange, the other half learnedabout self-defense by DeputyBrian Stokes who gave themtips on how to be more awareof their surroundings whenout in public.

At the range, the deputiesintroduced themselves to theirstudents. They then took thehandguns out of the cases andchecked them. In past classes,the weapons have been brandnew and never fired. In somecases, though, they were old orhad items lodged in placeswhere there shouldn't havebeen anything.

"One woman had a crayonstuck up the gun barrel and did-n't know it," Harrell laughed."We do this to help make shoot-ing a gun safer for them."

All of the students weregiven goggles and hearing pro-tection. The deputies thentalked about the gun thewomen had brought to therange. They then held thegun, unloaded, to see how itfeels.

Before the women tooktheir turns shooting, thedeputies stepped up to theline and fired a couple ofrounds to make sure the gunworked correctly.

Students then stepped upto the line and aimed at thepaper target. Harrison gavethe command to fire and all ofthe handguns sounded.

Patricia Rogers was happyto get the chance to take theclass.

"This was good. I wasscared to hold onto the gun,"Rogers said. "I feel a lot morecomfortable about shooting agun now. I didn't want to takethis class, but my husband

did. Now I'd like to take itagain."

Rogers thought she didwell. Edwina Terman hit hertargets.

"I practiced a couple oftimes before, but never at atarget like that," Terman said."I was surprised at how good Idid. It may be beginner’s luck.It was good for the deputy toencourage me and give mepraise on how I was shooting."

Terman said it's good forthe women in this communityto have a self-defense classtaught by the LCSO.

"This is a good communityoutreach," she said. "Thetimes are changing. I hopeand pray that I'll never haveto pick up my gun. I was in-timidated by my gun. Now Iknow how to pick it up, get ina stance and fire. I feel com-fortable now if I have to use it.I'm not scared of the gun any-more."

This week many munici-palities across Georgia willhost elections for positionssuch as mayor and for citycouncil. In DeKalb County,citizens will also have theopportunity to determine iftwo new cities are createdas well.

Tucker and LaVistaHills are following in thefootsteps of Dunwoody andBrookhaven, which decidednew city governments wereneeded in previously unin-corporated areas of northDeKalb. Sandy Springs inFulton County began themovement toward newcities ten years ago. Fultonhas seen the creation ofthree other cities since,with neighboring Gwinnetalso getting in on the actionwith the creation ofPeachtree Corners.

Unlike the previous twoDeKalb incorporations,Tucker and LaVista Hillsare not traditionallyRepublican strongholdsseeking to gain some powerback from a county govern-ment that is controlled byDemocrats. Dunwoody res-idents focused on reducingtaxes when creating theircity. Brookhaven cited theneed for increased public

services, especially publicsafety and an expandedpolice presence.

Critics of the cityhoodmovement have painted thenew cities as a paradox toRepublicans’ belief in “lessgovernment.”

After all, how can a partythat wants limited govern-ment keep creating newentire governments – firstwith the approval of aRepublican legislature thenwith the vote ofRepublicans in most ofthese areas?

The answer to that ques-tion is perhaps bestanswered by the residentsof the proposed cities whowill vote on Tuesday, manyof whom will not beRepublicans. The answeris that government worksbest when it is close to andresponsive to the people.And that DeKalb, as acounty, is a bureaucraticentity in dysfunction.

DeKalb County has aninterim CEO under fire foran investigative report heordered which questionshis financial relationshipwith a county employee.The man he replaced is fac-ing an 18-month prisonsentence for theft by extor-

tion related to his officialduties. Another formercommissioner is serving 14months in federal prison fordefrauding taxpayers.

The GBI, and presum-ably the feds, are continu-ing investigations with alle-gations against many otherelected officials and staff.In scientific terms, “it’s amess.”

DeKalb is also a countythat has a school systemwhich had its accreditationplaced on probation whichled to removal of most of itsboard members. Forming anew county governmentwill not create a new school

system for the smallermunicipality, but the frus-tration with broken govern-ment that is responsible formore people than the stategovernment of Vermont hasmany believing that theycan’t fix the biggest prob-lems, but they may be ablefor force positive change ifthey can get decisions madecloser to home.

While this issue hasclear implications forDeKalb and the rest ofmetro Atlanta, there’s amuch bigger picture atstake here. Nationallywe’re seeing polls reflectanger and angst from the

establishment of both par-ties in Washington. Votersof all stripes feel their gov-ernment is out of touch,and that they have lost con-trol.

Republicans need to quittrying to tell voters theyunderstand the anger, andshow them an alternative.Returning decisions (andaccountability) to state andlocal governments (andindividuals) where possiblewould be a good place tostart.

Republicans almostnever utter the term “blockgrants” anymore. This usedto be a cornerstone of GOPefforts.

Money was allocatedaccording to the District ofColumbia’s perceived“need,” but state and localleaders who presumablyknow how to prioritize theneeds of their people decid-ed how those dollars werespent.

States are in document-ed position to do more withthe same federal trans-portation dollars if theywere delivered with fewerstrings attached.

The same would apply toMedicaid, education andmany poverty/hunger pro-

grams as well.Many of the people who

are angry at DeKalbCounty – Republicans andDemocrats alike – will go tothe polls Tuesday not tostrike the County down,but to take back controlover what they can.Enterprising Republicansat the national level shouldtake a cue from the Atlantaregion’s cityhood move-ment.

Don’t offer the peoplemore anger and blame.Offer them the real oppor-tunity to begin to take con-trol and responsibility backfor their own lives. Offerthe chance to participate inthe decisions that affectthem where they live. Offerthem the rewards thatcome along with these bet-ter choices. Offer them localcontrol – down to the indi-vidual level where possible.

That’s a lot better thanoffering them more angerand more gridlock.

Our Take

— Got a question forCharlie Harper? Email himdirectly at [email protected]. Comments toThe Courier Herald may bedirected to [email protected]

The history revisionistsare still busy as a bee tryingto rid us of all vestiges of theOld South.

That means some bravesoul is going to have to tellWheeler County that theyhave to change their namebecause the county is namedfor Confederate Gen. JoeWheeler. Oh, and while youare at it, change the name ofthe county seat of Alamo. Itmight just offend Mexicanswho got a bad rap at theother Alamo in 1836.

They were just mad atthe time because they could-n’t register to vote.

If all of this isn’t worryenough, now comes wordthat the pointy-heads at theWorld Health Organization,which is a part of the UnitedNations, which is about asrelevant as a whoopee cush-ion, have decided that eat-ing bacon and sausage andham and other assorted pigparts is bad for your health.

Good grief!This is nothing more than

an all-out assault onSouthern cooking! WheelerCounty is one thing;sausage and biscuits smoth-ered in redeye gravy is awhole different matter.

I am glad Kack is notaround to hear this. Kackwas my mother’s older sisterand the family matriarch.She was also one of thegreat Southern cooks of alltime.

We are talking old-fash-ioned country cooking thatis Hall of Fame material.

Kack could cook the day-lights out of a bucket of mudif she had to. Like all goodSouthern cooks, in her fourscore and 10 years on thisEarth, I doubt seriously thatshe ever came face-to-facewith a recipe book.

Kack didn’t need recipebooks. She just threw what-ever she was cooking in apan with plenty of lard(Don’t tell the pointy-headsbut lard has some pig stuffin it, too.) and fried every-thing to a crisp all the stuffthat the WHOoters say isbad for us, as well as chick-ens and catfish.

I grew up thinking greasewas at the top of the foodpyramid, followed by sweettea and layer cakes madewith real butter and sugar.

There is another thing toknow about Southern cook-ing. We don’t do bland.When the food comes off thestove, we throw salt and

pepper on it when it hits ourplate and before it hits ourmouth.

I read one time wheresome business mogul usedto have lunch with prospec-tive employees and watchedto see if they seasoned theirfood before they tasted it. Ifso, he would not hire them.

His logic was that thesepeople were jumping to con-clusions before having allthe facts – like whether ornot the food was alreadyproperly seasoned – andwould not make good man-agers.

Chances are good thatthe mogul never hired any-body south of Richmondbecause in the South, wealways salt and pepper ourfood before we taste it.

Doesn’t everybody?So far, it seems that grits

have escaped the WHO’shoots. Be thankful for allsmall favors.

Speaking of grits, showme someone who claims tobe Southern but preferspotatoes with their sausageand eggs instead of grits andI will show you an impostor— someone from a placewhere it snows 10 months ayear and all the buildingsare rusted.

In case whoever in WHOis reading this, pleaseunderstand that downSouth, our four basic foodgroups are ham, sausage,bacon and pork barbecueand they all come from onesource — the heroic hog.

There isn’t much of a hog

we won’t eat. We eat porkchops, pork shoulders,chitlins (also called ‘chitter-lings” but only by carpetbag-gers), pork rinds (fried, orcourse), pigs feet (pickled, ofcourse) and jowls. We thentake the intestines and agenerous helping of lard andput them into our cornbread, thereby creatingcracklin’ bread (a delicacythat defies description).Some of the fat we don’t boil.

That is known as fatbackand that goes in the potwhen cooking green beans.Suffice it to say that in theSouth, we go hog wild.

I would suggest to theWHOdats that they stick tobean curds and broccoli andleave us and our porcinepreferences alone.

In fact, it might interestthem to know that a fewyears back in one ruralcounty in Georgia a manwas convicted of spousalabuse. The jury sentencedhim to six months of hardlabor.

Another man stole aneighbor’s hog. He got 12years.

He should have beenfried.

A local model with a national lesson

For some, this Tuesday will just beanother normal day.For others, it's the day they've been wait-

ing for since late August. It's when thoserunning for city office will find out if theyhave been voted to return or if someonenew will be taking a seat.Right now, we will not predict any win-

ners or make any endorsements. We'llleave that up to you, the voters. In thiselection it will be those who live in thecities in Laurens County who will be mak-ing the decisions.It's always important to get out and vote.

This is the chance for people to make theirvoices heard.It's hard to understand why so many peo-

ple don't exercise their rights to vote, espe-cially nowadays. We've just gone throughearly voting, which gave people time dur-ing the work day to cast their votes.Even without early voting, people still

have from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Tuesday.That's a 12-hour period to stop by thepolling precinct and cast a vote.Many have been working hard to get

your vote. They have put in long hours andare anxiously awaiting the results.It's your civic duty to make your voice

heard.

WATERLOO, N.Y. (AP) —The winemaker who suppliedthe sacramental spirits forPope Francis' visit to Man-hattan has a new label namedfor New York City Mayor Billde Blasio: "No Trash! De Bla-sio Blush."

The wine from Eagle CrestVineyards is part of a cam-paign against a proposed 20-year, $3.3 billion contract toship trainloads of New YorkCity garbage to the state'slargest municipal landfill,Seneca Meadows, whichspans 400 acres in centralNew York's Finger Lakes re-gion.

"The Finger Lakes should-n't be the garbage dump forNew York City," said EagleCrest owner Will Ouweleen,whose winery in Conesus is40 miles west of the landfill."Send us your tourists, notyour trash."

Wine Enthusiast Maga-zine named the Finger Lakes"2015 Wine Region of theYear" in recognition of theworld-class quality of itswines and the economic im-pact of wine tourism.

But the Finger Lakes re-gion also has four of thestate's largest landfills,where half of all municipalsolid waste in the state —and some from out of state —is buried.

Seneca Meadows, justsouth of the New York StateThruway, is the biggest, re-ceiving up to 2 million tons oftrash annually. The NewYork City deal would add 24to 36 rail cars — or 2,495 tons— every day, but those railcars will simply replace most

of the tractor trailers alreadyhauling the city's garbage toSeneca Meadows.

Steve Churchill, who rep-resents the town of SenecaFalls on the county Board ofSupervisors, said the sightand sulfurous smell of thelandfill along a main travelroute into the Finger Lakesregion makes a bad impres-sion on tourists.

"We're smelling it day af-ter day," said Rich Swinehart,CEO of Waterloo Glass,

which supplies bottles formany of the Finger Lakeswineries and is across thestreet from Seneca Meadows.

Local residents and busi-nesses who oppose the land-fill see the rail proposal as away to extend the life of thefacility past its current per-mit date of 2023. But it's notclear how they can stop theNew York City contract,which needs only the ap-proval of city ComptrollerScott Stringer.

Several members of thecoalition had traveled to acity hearing on the contracttwo weeks ago in hopes ofmaking their case.

Neither Stringer nor deBlasio returned calls fromThe Associated Press seekingcomment.

New York City's Sanita-tion Department said in astatement that the amount oftrash that will be shipped toSeneca Meadows is a littleless than a quarter of the

trash collected daily in thecity.

The rest goes to otherlandfills, including one in theRochester area that receivestrash by train, and some inother states. Greg Lazzaro,

who recently beat the incum-bent in the Republican pri-mary for town supervisor inSeneca Falls, said one optionis for the town to end the hostcommunity agreement andput land-use bans in place.

Contributions made bythose who wear the poppiesare used to help supportworthwhile programs in Reha-bilitation and Child Welfare.They are also means of smallincome for the disabled veter-ans who make the poppies inhospitals. This year, morethan ever, our country needsthe inspiration of the poppy,the flower that speaks of sac-rifice.

"In Flanders Field, the pop-pies blow between the crosses,row on row..." wrote the poetJohn McCrae as he describedthe graves of soldiers fallen inWorld War I, today the final

resting places of men andwomen who fell in the cause offreedom.

Jordan.Members of the Junior Tri-Hi-Y who will be selling the pop-pies are Karen Hillyer, Rhon-da Fordham, Jane Frost, Regi-na Nowell, Shirley Bankston,Rita Roberts, Linda Whitaker,Susanne Whipple, LindseyParham, Sandra Gilder,Martha Smith, Vicky Flower,and Judy Bryans.

TROJANS LOSE FINALGAME IN REGIONAL

Friday night the OconeeHigh Trojans went to Ameri-cus to do battle with thestrong Staley High Tigers,who are undefeated in regionplay. The Trojans, who didn'thave a chance for the confer-ence championship, were try-ing to spoil things for theTigers, but it was not in thecards.

The Tigers won the tossand elected to receive thekickoff. Willie Edmond, theTrojan fine kickoff specialist,boomed the ball down field,and Americus returned it 16yards to get the get the gamestarted. In the first quarterthe Trojans' offense was inhigh gear as the boys gained42 yards to the Tigers' 11, butthe Trojans got the worst ofthe deal as they were penal-ized for 40 yards and theTigers for none.

The second quarter wasidentical to the first except forone play late in the quarterwhen the Trojans ends andtackles put on such a tremen-dous rush that the Tigers' finequarterback had to roll out ofthe pocket to pass. It wasbarely gotten away, but it wason its mark. Flanker backWalter Willis made the catch,and the Trojans' fine defensecouldn't do anything butwatch. The extra point was apass to the split end, makingscore at halftime 7-0 in favorof the Tigers.

The second half kickoff wasa long special which HermanSampson fielded on the 25,but he fumbled it, and theTigers recovered. They could-n't move the ball, though andthe quarter ended with thescore unchanged. The Trojans,however, had out-gained theTigers 49 yards to 15. The lastquarter was like the otherquarters, for the Trojansmoved the ball well but could-n't score However, the Tigersscored on a nice run aroundthe left end by their right half-back. This was a run for 21yards and came just before thegame ended, 14-0.

The closest thing to a Tro-jan touchdown came in thethird quarter when Wallace,the Trojan left half, tried tobuck off tackle. There was no

hole, and he bounced off androlled around end for 54yards. The play was calledback when the officials saidthat Willie Edmond, the Tro-jan left tackle, had been run-ning the ball and had beenstopped. No explanation wasgiven as to how the officialsarrived at this decision.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) —Jimmy Carter's Augustannouncement that doctors haddiscovered tumors on his braincame with a promise: Theformer U.S. president wouldscale back his work schedule.

Months later, he sheepishlyadmits that hasn't happened.Carter, who celebrated his 91stbirthday in October, told TheAssociated Press he has a goodreason: He feels just fine.

Carter, speaking with theAP hours before participating ina home-building projectorganized by Habitat forHumanity in Memphis,Tennessee, said he'll continuereceiving immune-boostingdrugs to help his body seek outcancer cells after completingfour rounds of treatment. It'stoo early for doctors todetermine the drug's resultsince August, he said. He alsoreceived a targeted radiationtreatment that month.

"I've reacted well to thetreatments," he said. "I haven'tbeen uncomfortable or ill afterthe treatments were over. Sothat part of it has been a reliefto me and I think to the doctors.But the final result of how wellthe treatments are combatingor controlling the cancer, wedon't know yet."

Carter said he hasn't cutanything from his schedule atThe Carter Center, the humanrights organization he foundedafter leaving the White House.He is demurring on an electionmonitoring trip this month inMyanmar, but electionobservers will include hisgrandson and the center's newCEO, Jason Carter.

He's also taken on a

mediation role in a disputeamong Martin Luther KingJr.'s children and has continuedto act as Habitat forHumanity's most prominentbooster.

Carter and the Atlanta-based charity have beensynonymous for more than 30years. Carter's presidentialmuseum in Atlanta evenincludes an exhibit featuring apair of his work boots and ahammer once used in a conteston the Tonight Show.

He and his wife, Rosalynn,have volunteered a week oftheir time annually since 1984,events dubbed "Carter workprojects" that draw thousandsof volunteers and take monthsof planning. The streak seemedat risk in August when herevealed his illness and doubtsabout making a plannedNovember build in a remoteregion of Nepal.

Ultimately, concerns aboutcivil unrest in the region forcedthe trip's cancellation rather

than Carter's health (hisdoctors had approved the trip).Carter said he was lookingforward to the planned buildingstrategy there, describing plansfor walls woven of bamboo withthe anticipation of a builderstarting a new project.

"Back in August ... I didn'tknow if I would be physicallyable or if the doctors would letme go to Nepal, but they finallyapproved my going, and I wasvery happy and excited aboutthat," Carter said.

NEW YORK (AP) —Investigators of a horrificHalloween crash that killedthree people including a 10-year-old girl are looking atwhether a medical problemmay have caused a motoristto smash into a group ofNew York City trick-or-treaters, police said Sunday.

The car jumped a curb inthe Bronx on Saturdayevening, leaving behindmangled bodies and bloodiedcostumes as neighbors ranto help. Police wereexamining whether thedriver may have suffered amedical emergency, such asa seizure.

A 65-year-oldgrandfather, Louis Perez,suffered severe head traumaand died at the scene, policesaid. His granddaughter, 10-year-old Nyanna Aquil, waspronounced dead at ahospital. The girl's 3-year-old sister was alsohospitalized.

Another man, 24-year-oldKristian Leka, was alsokilled. His 9-year-old sisterand a 21-year-old femalefriend were also injured butnot critically.

A black Dodge Chargerbeing driven by a 52-year-old man plowed into thepedestrians on a sidewalkand then smashed through afence in front of a home,police said. The driver wastaken to the hospital instable condition. No chargeshad been announced as ofSunday afternoon, police

said.Nyanna's mother, Natalia

Perez, told the Daily Newsthat her father had beentaking her daughters forsome extra Halloween fun.

"It was all because mydad wanted to take my girlsfor a second round of trick-or-treating," she said. "Isn'tthat crazy? I had alreadytaken the girls earlier."

Witnesses describedhearing a loud boom,followed by screaming and

crying, then seeing a trail ofmangled bodies in crumpled,bloodied costumes.

"I saw a torso on thesidewalk. I didn't know if itwas a Halloween dummy ora real person," neighborFabio Cotza told the NewYork Post. "I just grabbed awhole bunch of towels andran outside."

Hours after the crash,neighbors gathered for asmall candlelight vigil toremember the victims.

Mayor Bill de Blasio saidauthorities "will leave nostone unturned" in theinvestigation and offeredprayers to the victims andtheir families.

"We do not accepttragedies like this asinevitable," he said. "Thiscould be any of our families.Each of us must contributeto making this a city whereeveryone, especiallychildren, can walk ourstreets safely."

Special to The Courier HeraldTrinity Christian cross countryteams won both the boys’ and girls’Region 2AAA championships last week.The Crusaders claimed first- andsecond-place among individual run-ners. Jacob McLeod was the region’stop finisher with a time of 17:50.Quillian Holland was second with a18:23.McLeod and Holland both are soph-omores.Trinity’s boys finished on top with35 points, almost 20 points ahead ofBulloch Academy’s 53. Frederica wasthird with 63, followed by Pinewoodwith 70 and Edmund Burke with 132.The Lady Crusaders won by an evenbigger margin. The Trinity girls had 33points, followed by Bulloch with 58,Frederica with 66 and Pinewood with67.Janie Samson was Trinity’s top fin-isher. She was second with a time of21:47.Samson is an eighth-grader.“The boys and girls have bothworked throughout the summermonths that prepared them for thistime of year,” said coach EvanWinegarner “Their training in the offseason has helped them to be success-ful now. Each race of the season, wehave seen improvement from each run-ner, and that is always a good thing tosee.“The unique thing about cross coun-try is that you are really focused onyour individual time and like to seeimprovement from each individual, butin turn that improvement helps theteam.”Other top finishers and times for theCrusaders were: Jake Williams, seventhplace (20:55); Drew Coble, 12th(21:42); Alex Cook, 13th (22:04); andRyan Ross, 14th (22:04).For the girls, other top finisherswere: Lindsey Tate, fourth (23:03) ;Mary Ansley Tate, eighth (23:38);Ansley Mole, ninth (23:49); RandieTraxler, 10th (24:12); Chase Holland,11th (24:24); 18th Emily Harrison,18th (26:39).The region championship is the fifth

The team won statechampionships in 2012 and 2013, andwas state runner-up in AAA last year.The girls have won four regionchampionships and were state champsin 2012.With that success, Winegarnernoted “the future is bright at Trinitywith a lot of young runners in the crosscountry program.”Williams, Coble and Ross are sen-

iors, but Cook, like McLeod andHolland, is a sophomore.The girls team consists of threeeighth-graders, a freshman, two sopho-mores and a junior.“God has been so good to us over thepast several years, and his faithfulnessis evident,” said Winegarner.“We know without God himself,none of these accolades would havebeen possible.”

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) —Even with a new quarterback,Georgia's offensive woes fol-lowed the team to Jacksonville.And coach Mark Richt is wellaware that they will create extrascrutiny.The Bulldogs failed to score atouchdown for the second con-secutive game, and the futilityproved costly in a 27-3 loss torival and 11th-ranked Florida onSaturday.Georgia managed just 223total yards, the program's fewestin the "World's Largest OutdoorCocktail Party" since gaining 220in 1991. It also was Georgia'sworst point total against Floridasince a 27-0 loss in 1984."We told them we have to be

men in this situation," Richt said."We have to give credit wherecredit is due."Georgia hasn't scored atouchdown in eight quarters —the Bulldogs beat Missouri 9-6with three field goals two weeksago — and has found the endzone just once in the last 2 1/2games.Florida (7-1, 5-1), meanwhile,scored three times in the firsthalf to build what seemed like aninsurmountable lead.The victory left the Gators oneconference win from clinchingthe Southeastern Conference'sEastern Division, which is bigpart of coach Jim McElwain'sedict of "restoring the order" bygetting them back to SEC promi-

nence."I don't expect to lose,"McElwain said. "We shouldnever go into an event thinkingwe're going to come in second.The one thing you learn realquickly in this business is thereare no participation ribbons. Itdoesn't matter who we play, wego in with a mindset that we'regoing to put a plan to do whatev-er it takes to win the footballgame."The Gators can wrap up theEast by beating Vanderbilt nextweek. If that happens, Floridawould earn its first trip toAtlanta since Tim Tebow's sen-ior year in 2009.Georgia has few, if any, math-ematical chances of winning the

East. The loss was nearly as uglyas that 28-point debacle at hometo Alabama in early October andsurely will turn up the heat onRicht."If you are a leader in anyway, shape or form, you aregoing to be criticized, in goodtimes and in bad times," saidRicht, who fell to 5-10 in theseries. "That's part of it. ... Ourjobs as head coaches are very,very public and very, very emo-tional because you have so manypeople who care so much abouttheir program."Richt's decision to changequarterbacks did nothing tospark a sputtering offense.

BY AMANDA HOWARDThe Middle Georgia MiddleSchool Athletic Association foot-ball championship game was athriller down to the final buzzer.Dublin Middle School made anamazing comeback in the secondhalf to eclipse Dodge County, 30-26, to clinch the region title forthe second year in a row.Both teams finished the regu-lar season with a 6-1 record withpoints against determining therankings. Dublin was rankedthird, and Dodge was ranked No.1 so Dodg played host to theMGMSAA championship game. Intheir previous meeting, theWarriors won a close contest 18-16.The host team started off thegame in fine fashion taking thefirst drive to the house. NoahCummings drove forward pick-ing up two-, five- and eight-yardgains. Mikhail Carr made a com-pletion to Nathan Coley in theflat, who turned it into a 32-yardtouchdown.On the kickoff return, ZionKemp took the reverse to mid-field. Kemp, Joshua Isaac andCreuntae Floyd took turns carry-

ing to advance the offense. Whenquarterback Terell Harris wentto the air, Dodge County’sTimothy Johnson made an inter-ception close to the goalline. Starting on the 2 yard line,the Warriors were forced intotheir end zone where the Irishdefense caused a fumble.Dublin’s D’Aundre Hendersonsmothered the ball for the Irishmajor, and the game was tied.Dodge County put it into over-drive for the next four posses-sions. Cummings ran for threecarries of four-, five- and eightyards to move the chains. Carrpicked up 16 yards on a quarter-back keeper. Coley finished thedrill with a 33yard touchdownrun.On the Warriors' next posses-sion, Carr looked like he wasgoing over to the sidelines to talkto the coach as Cummingsstepped into the quarterbackposition. Carr sprinted down thesidelines and caught the passfrom Cummings, and took it therest of the way for a 64 yardtouchdown play.The Warrior momentum kept

But instead of turningto backup Brice Ramsey, Richtcalled on Faton Bauta to make hisfirst career start."We felt like Faton performedwell enough to get the nod, andthat's what we did," Richt said.The junior from West PalmBeach completed 15 of 33 passesfor 154 yards, with four intercep-tions. He had even more passesbatted down at the line of scrim-mage."You have to learn to take thepositives away from it," Bautasaid. "You sit there and thinkyou're the worst player of alltime, that's not going to help. It'snot good. Obviously a bad start,but it's a start."Bauta's third interceptioncame in the end zone, withGeorgia trying to make it 20-10in the fourth quarter.The Gators put the game awayon the ensuing possession,thanks to Jordan Scarlett's 60-yard scamper and KelvinTaylor's 16-yard score.

MARTINSVILLE, Va. (AP) —As the adoring crowd lingered inthe darkness at MartinsvilleSpeedway, Jeff Gordon took amoment to soak it in.In a 23-year career that is onelong highlight reel, his victorySunday overwhelmed theNASCAR great. He had justearned a spot in the champi-onship race, a chance to race foran elusive fifth title. It was, in hismind, "one of my finest momentsI've ever had."So Gordon, who at 44 yearsold celebrated his ninthMartinsville win by jumpingalong the track like a little boy onChristmas morning, climbed intothe grandstands to share theemotion of the victory with thefans."I don't know what it feelslike to be a rock star, but that's asclose as it can get," Gordon said."That's a rock star moment rightthere."He has Matt Kenseth to thankfor this storybook ending to hiscareer.Kenseth intentionallywrecked Joey Logano — paybackfrom an incident three races ago— to take the race leader outwith 47 laps remaining. Loganohad the dominant car, andKenseth, who was in an earlierwreck with Brad Keselowski,came back on the track 10 lapsdown and drove Logano into thewall.Logano had led 207 of the 500

laps and was furious. His father,Tom, had to be pushed into theteam hauler by the crew chief asthe crowd cheered wildly in sup-port of Kenseth.Although NASCAR chairmanBrian France has championedon-track incidents, Kensethcould be sanctioned because hewas not racing for the win."I think what was disappoint-ing ... a driver that's not compet-ing for a win, in fact, was manylaps down when that happened,in our minds, that's a little bit dif-ferent than two drivers reallygoing after it coming out of turnfour for a win," said SteveO'Donnell, head of NASCAR's rac-ing operations.Denny Hamlin, who last weekaccused Kevin Harvick of delib-

erately causing an accident topreserve his spot in the Chase forthe Sprint Cup championshipfield, said the level of aggressionis out of hand. He's teammateswith Kenseth, and both wereeliminated from title contentionlast week."It's a no-holds-barred, Wild,Wild West," Hamlin said. "Thestructure in which we havearound us is not very strong asfar as an authority figure saying,'No, you cannot do that any-more.'"I love Brian France, but whenhe says that drivers are 'doingwhat they have to do,' it seemslike he's promoting this type ofracing. That's tough to crown atrue champion when things golike this."
