BLEDSOE

HOUSTON (AP) — The out-side political group supportingJeb Bush's bid for presidentwith tens of millions of dollarsin television advertising is con-sidering placing organizingstaff in Iowa and New Hamp-shire, a move that would followthe decision of his formal cam-paign to refocus its efforts onthe two early-voting states.Senior advisers to the group

tried to paint an upbeat pictureof Bush's White Houseprospects at the outset of twodays of concurrent meetingsheld for major donors to Bush'scampaign and the group, a su-per PAC known as Right to RiseUSA.Scheduled months ago as a

reward for top money-raisersfor the candidate once viewed ashaving the clearest shot at theGOP nomination, the retreatending Monday comes just daysafter Bush's formal campaigncut employee salaries by 40 per-cent and said it wouldmove jobsfrom its Miami headquarters tothe leadoff-voting states.A faithful core of roughly 175

Bush supporters made the tripto Houston for the meetings,fewer than expected due in partto the rains that pounded southTexas in the wake of HurricanePatricia. Among the invitedwere people who had raised atleast $50,000 for the campaign,and major super PAC donors al-so had access to some events.Among them was a session

with Mike Murphy, a longtimeBush aide who is leading Rightto Rise. He played five ads forthe donors as they fired off

questions about when the superPAC, which is not subject to thecontribution limits placed oncampaigns and pulled in arecord haul of $103 million inthe first six months of the year,would start spending big.Already, Right to Rise has

spent $14.7 million on adsthrough the end of this week,mainly in Iowa, New Hamp-shire and South Carolina, thefirst three states on the 2016nominating calendar. The grouphas reserved another $30 mil-lion in advertising through theweek of Feb. 18.But Right to Rise officials

said options for what else thecash-rich super PAC can do aretop of mind among some donors,including whether the groupshould hire staff to marshal aget-out-the-vote effort on Bush'sbehalf in Iowa and New Hamp-shire.

DEAR ABBY: My ex-hus-band and I have been back to-gether for eight months. Wewere divorced for two years,during which time he remar-ried. We stayed in contact dur-ing his second marriage and hesays he still loves me, so he lefther.

He's now back with me afterliving on his own for a fewmonths. I'm frustrated becausehe won't commit to me again.He says he has forgiven me forwhat broke up our marriage,but he will never consider re-marrying me.

He says he has lost faith inall women. He says one mar-riage to me was enough andthat he's confused. He told meit's fine with him if I put myrings back on. He introduces meas his wife when we're out to-gether, but won't divorce his sec-ond wife.

I know I'm coming on toostrong and pressuring him to bethe man he used to be. I justdon't think it's right that heshould get all the benefits ofhaving his wife and childrenback with none of the commit-ment. Should I back off and givehim time to heal, or am I trap-ping myself in a hopeless rela-tionship that's going to leave mea divorcee? -- HOPELESS INMISSOURI

DEAR HOPELESS: I think

we both know the answer tothat. Your ex has stated clearlythat he will never consider re-marrying you. Under these cir-cumstances, your wedding ringsshould remain in the drawer.While he may introduce you ashis wife, you are NOT his wife.His WIFE is his wife, which en-titles her to all the rights andprivileges of her status as aspouse according to the laws ofMissouri.

Be prepared to give your explenty of time to "heal" WHILELIVING ON HIS OWN. If he isconfused, insist that he work hisissues through with a therapist.Allowing him to stay with youwhile married to someone elsewas a mistake. You should havethought through how thearrangement might affect yourchildren before you agreed to it.

DEAR ABBY: My mothercomes from a large family.Whilemost of the time everyone iskind and fairly respectful, therehave been several occasionswhen gossiping family membershave said hurtful things.

Most recently, a commentwas made about my 29-year-oldbrother. He is unmarried and is-n't dating anyone. He works twojobs and also participates infishing tournaments. Someonecommented that he "must begay" because he "has guys sleep

over at his house" and "doesn'thave a girlfriend."

For the record, my brother isstraight. His fishing teammatessleep over because they leave at3 a.m. for their tournaments.

This really annoyed mymomand me. It's no one's businesshow he chooses to live his life,straight or gay. While we try todistance ourselves from their

comments, staying quiet aboutthem is becoming more andmore difficult. What can we saywithout sinking to their level? --SEETHING IN OHIO

DEAR SEETHING: Howabout being direct: "My broth-er/son is not gay. Please stopspreading rumors about himthat aren't true because it's real-ly annoying."

"World War Z" ($202 mil-lion), "What Lies Beneath"($155 million) and "Gremlins"($148 million) are the all-time,top-grossing nail-biters inNorth America, scaring tens ofmillions of moviegoers. Butnail-biting isn't always so en-tertaining. In fact, it's an af-fliction that may indicate youhave a condition associatedwith obsessive-compulsive dis-order that's called body-fo-cused repetitive behavior orpathological grooming.Experts say nail-biting is a

clue that you're not handlingstressful, frustrating, dissatis-fying or boring situations ef-fectively, and that you're in-clined to create short-term,self-soothing habits instead of

discovering positive ways tomake yourself feel better inthe long run. (Researchershave found that people do re-port that nail-biting immedi-ately feels soothing.)In addition, the American

Academy of Dermatologywarns that repeated nail-bit-ing can harm the nail bed andlead to abnormal-lookingnails. It also can pass bacteriaand viruses from your mouthto your fingers, and backagain from your nails to yourface and mouth.So how can you stop? Keep a

journal that identifies trig-gers; you'll begin to see whenthe urge strikes. Knowingthat will help you resist. Whenyou can't beat the urge, substi-

tute squeezing a stress ball fornibbling. Keep nails short,and consider using a bitter-tasting nail polish to make itunpleasant to put your finger-nail in your mouth. Thenthink about adopting long-term stress-busters, likemindful meditation or yoga.And if you still can't beat it,cognitive behavioral therapyor holistic psychotherapy maybe smart steps.

The Dublin Irish suffereddefeat for the first time inregular season class AA playon Friday night at Jesup, los-ing to a fired-up band ofWayne County Yellow Jack-ets, 12-0, before an estimatedthrong of 5,000 fans, whojammed Jesup's Jaycee Fieldto standing room capacity.Thus, the Irish lost the 1-AAEast leadership to Jesup andmust now await the outcomeof the November tilt match-ing Dodge County and Jesupat Jesup to see who wins thesub-region crown. About theonly way the Irish can retaintheir 1-AA East title is forDodge County to stop theJackets while the Irish whipboth Coffee County and WareCounty.

Under Georgia HighSchool Association rulesthere cannot be a 3-way sub-region tie. A Dodge Countywin over Jesup and subse-quent wins by Dublin, Jesup,and Dodge County in all oftheir remaining regiongames plus a Dodge Countywin over AA Crisp Countywould give the three teamsidentical 1AA East records.But then other AA gamesplayed would be brought intoconsideration. All of this sup-position is only hope, for Je-sup seems to definitely be theclass of 1A East.

The Irish, although theylost their first tilt of the yearand saw Coach Don Denningsuffer his first defeat in twoyears as head coach, did notdisgrace themselves againstthe heavier and much moreexperienced Yellow Jackets.Fumbles set up both Jesuptouchdowns, and except forthese two miscues, the gamecould have been a scorelesstie. The Irish failed to takeadvantage of Jesup fumblesthe first two times the Jack-ets had the ball, Carl Powellcovering the first Jacket bob-ble on the Jesup 36 and Ron-nie Rogers grabbing the sec-ond fumble at the Jesup 39.Still, Dublin tackling was notup to par, for on several occa-sions, Irish defenders had Je-sup runners tackled for loss-es, only to see the Jesupbacks squirm away for goodyardage.

Jesup played ball controlthroughout, initiating 50plays plus punts. Defensive-ly Rogers was in on 19 tack-les, followed by Jimmy Forteand Carl Powell with 11each, Mike Rich and MikeDominy, 9 apiece, Greg Oliv-er with 7, J.C. Pitts with 6,Stanley Johnson, ScottBeasley, and Sam Griffin, 5each, and Buddy Jones, VicBelote, and Mike Cauley, 4each.

Coaches Don Denning andTravis Davis offered noapologies for the loss, Den-ning stating the facts whenhe said "Just too much Je-sup."

On Friday night the Tro-jan eleven met the fine teamfrom Perry and were defeated13 to 6. Though the finalscore does not testify to it,the game was much closerthan the seven points. TheTrojans had numerous scor-ing opportunities and capi-talized only once.

Coach Johnson con-tributes the loss to poorblocking and tackling andfailing to capitalize on sever-al breaks that occurred dur-ing the game. He feels thatthis was one of the gamesthat the Trojans should havewon and that the loss wasdue to overconfidence.

Coach Brower said thatthe boys seemed sluggish,but that they still shouldhave won the game. He feelsthat several factors may havecontributed to this sluggish-ness, one of them being thefood situation at school be-cause several players wereill.

JJUUDDGGEE WWAARRDD OORRDDEERRSS SSCCHHOOOOLL TTEEAACCHHEERRSS PPAAIIDDAfter hearing the evidence

of both plaintiff R.C. Garrard,Laurens County Tax Commis-sioner, and the defendants,the old County Board of Edu-cation and the new Dublin-Laurens County School Sys-tem, this morning, JudgeHarold E. Ward of the Lau-rens Superior Court, held thatthe operation of the schoolsand the payment of thesalaries of the teachers are ofparamount importance. It isnecessary that the petition inthe nature of an equitable in-tervention be granted for thereason that it would be agrave matter to allow the clos-ing down of the school systemdue to the failure of the Boardof Education to pay salariesand meet the various expensesof the office.

Basically, the Tax Commis-sioner is seeking to have de-termined which Board is to re-ceive the monies and howmuch, if any, should be paid tothe present board if theyshould be declared illegal. Ineffect, he is asking a court or-der as to how to remit schooltax monies that he has collect-ed. The petition insists that

he is taking no sides in the is-sue, but is only asking courtdirection relative to taxmonies for the schools.

The Court further held thatthe present Dublin-LaurensCounty Board of Education isholding office as de facto offi-cers and that all of their actsand doings are legal and validuntil the case now pending be-fore the Supreme Court is ulti-mately concluded. It was or-dered that all moneys not ac-tually needed for the immedi-ate operation of the schools beheld by the clerk until the fi-nal adjudication of the case oruntil further orders of thecourt. Tax CommissionerGarrard was seeking court di-rection in remittances of taxescollected for the schools.

Dublin and Laurens Coun-ty residents last year voted toconsolidate the two school sys-tems, but a suit was filed tovoid the consolidation. Thematter is now before the Geor-gia Supreme Court with a pe-tition for a re-hearing filed af-ter the court's decision revers-ing the dismissal of demurrersby Judge Ward in the Superi-or Court.

Life Magazine honors young Dublin officer

A little over two yearsago, I wrote a column sug-gesting it was time forRepublicans to retire theterm “RINO” – an acronymfor “Republicans in NameOnly.” Not surprisingly,given the state of the GOP,many are still using the epi-thet. I wrote the followingthen:

“The term was once usedto identify a Republicanwhoactively supported theagenda of the oppositionparty against those of theRepublican agenda. It hasnow become an overusedlazy pejorative carelesslythrown about by purists anytime they observe or hearsomething that does not con-form to their personal worldview – regardless of whetheror not the “RINO” in ques-tion has actually strayedfrom the party position.”

I have noticed a recentflare-up in the use of theterm during the decision tosee who will replace JohnBoehner as Speaker, as wellas who Republicans willnominate for President. Invirtually every use of theterm I can stand by theabove assertion. Its useserves little more purposethan to spew invective.

The name calling in poli-tics has become a ridiculouscrutch for those who are notable to walk through anargument using the legs ofreason and persuasion.Republicans or even “conser-vatives” have been in intra-party warfare long enoughthat the terms are virtuallymeaningless to how an inde-pendent views them accord-ing to issues.

It only further divides theparty when those attempt-ing to hold down the fort andsimultaneously implementstrategies to govern refer toinsurgents and their sup-porters as “crazy.”Unfortunately, that’s not anacronym, and is equally lessthan helpful in political dis-course.

Meanwhile Democratsseemed to have moved swift-ly from being “liberals” to“progressives” with manynow willing to be socialists,so long as they’re called“Democratic Socialists.”

The comparison is some-what striking. TheDemocrats don’t appear ter-ribly attached to names.They’re just terriblyattached to the WhiteHouse.

Democrats actually care

about winning and have an“invisible primary” – a termcoined by insiders for dele-gates that are appointed out-side the primary process.Thus, the party that claimsto be “democratic” has aprocess that allows theirinsiders an insurance policyover an insurgent candidatelike Bernie Sanders.Internal labels are largelyirrelevant to their processand results.

While Republicans seemto focus on internal name-calling and control of “theestablishment” - while try-ing to avoid being labeled“the establishment” - they

don’t seem terribly focusedor concerned on winning. Itoften seems that the lastinginfluence of the influx ofLibertarians into the fold isthat Republicans now seemmore focused on winning anargument than winningelections.

Every time the topic ofunity or reconciliation comesup, I am told that I “have tounderstand that the base isangry.” Ok, people areangry. We’ve covered thathere, too. Anger doesn’t helpanyone make good decisions,nor do most people takeadvice or suggestions frompeople who are in the middle

of a blind rage episode. Inshort, anger is yet anothercrutch. It’s equally asunhelpful to winning anelection as name-calling.

Conventional wisdomspouted by most punditsthese days is “the candidatethat figures out how to tapinto this anger will be thewinner.” The problem withconventional wisdom is thatit too often is short on wis-dom.

Ronald Reagan didn’t winin 1980 because he tappedinto anger, nor did he stokethe very real fears of thatera’s middle class. Instead,he defused it. He stared itdown and offered a betterdeal in return.

Ronald Reagan isn’t com-ing back, and no candidateshould attempt to be a paro-dy of a leader elected to thePresidency 35 years ago.Candidates, however, shoulddemonstrate not only howthey plan to lead our nation,but also how they plan topersuade others to his or herside.

What we’re currently get-ting instead is a realty TVversion of a campaign. Eventhe “debates” thus far havebeen promoted as if the pub-lic was tuning in for

wrestling rather than to pickthe leader of the free world.The news is covering whichcandidate hurls the bestinsult, not the details of anyactual plans.

Worse, it remains to beseen if many members ofconservative media areinterested in winning, orsticking with a businessmodel that ensures profitsfrom acting as a member of apermanent minority opposi-tion party. Too many of ourown are feeding the angerwithout offering a positivevision.

Hurling names andinsults only serves to feedthe anger. The candidatethat hopes to win more thanjust the GOP nominationneeds to have a plan to quellit. Tapping the anger is atemporary path to intra-party victory. A plan toresolve the anger is one thatcould lead all the way to theWhite House.

I mentioned a few weeksback the TBF/FLW HighSchool Fishing SoutheasternConference Championshiptournament scheduled forLake Lanier. It has come andgone. Fifty-one teams fromeight states competed.Fittingly enough, the eventwas won by two youngstersfrom East Hall High School —Tristan Thomas and DakotaCrumley. The win earnedtheir team the title ofSoutheastern Conferencechampions. They will nowcompete in the 2016 HighSchool Fishing Nationalchampionship to be held nextspring at a location to beannounced. Several of youmentioned wanting to see afishing club started at yourhigh school. I would suggestthat you contact high-schoolfishing.org. I suspectthey would be delighted tohelp you. . . .

I love the state flaggersbetter than buttered breadand almost as much as liberalweenies. Back in their heydaywhen they were posturingand threatening anybody whosuggested changing the oldstate flag, flaggers were agreat source for columnsbecause they aren’t exactlyknown for their sense ofhumor (wink, wink.) Lastweek they issued a newsrelease objecting to putting astatue on the top of StoneMountain in honor of MichaelKing. Huh? Said the release,“Monuments to eitherMichael King or soldiers ofany color who fought against

the Confederacy would be aviolation of the purpose forwhich the park was createdand exists.” I don’t howdywith flaggers much these daysbut I think they meantMartin Luther King, Jr. andnot the late Michael King,OBE, author of “The PenguinHistory of New Zealand.”With flaggers, you neverknow. . . .

On the other side of theracial chasm, the history revi-sionists are hell-bent on eras-ing all vestiges of the OldSouth. I wonder if anyone hastold them that we have 17counties in Georgia named forConfederate military andpolitical figures, includingBacon, Bartow, Ben Hill,Bleckley, Calhoun, Cook,Crisp, Evans, Jeff Davis,Johnson, Lamar, Lanier,Stephens, Tift, Toombs,Turner and Wheeler. Therevisionists may want to con-centrate their efforts on erad-

icating Dixie Cups and RebelYell sipping whiskey from oursociety. They might have bet-ter luck. . . .

Next week, thousands ofcollege kids will swarm thebeaches of St. Simons inanticipation of the Georgia-Florida football game inJacksonville in what hasbecome known in less thancomplimentary terms as “FratBeach.” The event has prettymuch gotten out of hand andlocal officials and law enforce-ment have let it be knownthat this year the laws onunderage drinking and dri-ving, littering and over-the-top bad behavior will bestrictly enforced. I suspectmany youngsters think thelocals are just talking jive.Trust me. They are not. Thisaction is long overdue. . . .

As a member of theGovernor’s Education ReformCommission, I have had theopportunity to work alongsidelongtime State Sen. Jack Hill(R-Reidsville), chairman ofthe powerful Senate appropri-ations committee. He doesn’ttalk a lot but when he doeshave something to say, every-body stops and listensbecause it is generally worthhearing. He is a man withmuch influence and with sur-prisingly little ego. . . .

The United StatesDepartment of Agriculturehas issued an edict removingthe word “midget” from theStandards for Grades ofProcessed Raisins. Up untilnow, the smallest raisinswere referred to as – well, you

know. The Little People ofAmerica, an advocacy groupfor — well, you know — peti-tioned the USDA to eliminatethe “M” word. Of course, beingthe federal government, therequest had to be passedalong to the RaisinAdministration Committeefor consideration before cav-ing in to political correctness.Thank You-Know-Who thatour government is providingour veterans the very bestcare possible, we have terror-ism under control, our SocialSecurity coffers are full andwe have confined the hackingof sensitive information offgovernment computers to justa few hundred countries andmost pre-kindergarten kids.Now we have resolved theraisin name crisis. Is this agreat country or what?. . . .

And finally, I don’t knowUGA running back NickChubb personally but I knowsome people in Cedartownwho do. I am told that Chubb,who suffered a season-endingknee injury in the Tennesseegame, is as much a qualityperson off the field as he is onit. Frankly, there are someathletes that represent myalma mater that I would justas soon not. Nick Chubb is anexception. I wish him a suc-cessful recovery.

GOP race not about tapping into anger

Every episode of Scooby Doo starts out withthe gang coming into town and discoveringsome monster was terrorizing the community.Scoob and the gang would get to work, get

scared several times and uncover clues beforehelping local law enforcement discover thatthe monster was none other than CosgoodCreeps and Mr. Crawls.The villain was usually trying to extort the

town in some way, but thanks to everyone inthe Mystery Machine, the ruse was discoveredin time to save everyone from their fears andfinancial loss.That plot is pretty much what took place

recently, when a seemingly-unassuming alarmcompany pushed its product by purportingscary stories of nearby sexual predators andpeddling wares with salesmen literally push-ing their way into homes.As it turned out, the only person who needed

to be feared was the salesman of Alder AlarmCompany.Like Scooby and his pals, the City of Dublin

and the Dublin Police Department pulled offthe mask of these pretend monsters by revok-ing their business license.With Halloween only a few days away, it’s

nice to know at least one monster won’t bearound to scare us into spending money onsomething we may not need.Mystery solved.

STILLWATER, Okla. (AP)— A 25-year-old woman ac-cused in the deaths of fourpeople at the Oklahoma Statehomecoming parade is sched-uled to appear in court Mon-day, after witnesses said shedrove her car into spectatorswith such force that she sentbodies flying into the air.

Adacia Chambers was ini-tially arrested on suspicion ofdriving under the influence af-ter the crash Saturday morn-ing in Stillwater that also in-jured dozens of people. Butlate Sunday, police saidChambers was also being heldon four counts of second-de-gree murder.

Chambers, of Stillwater, isscheduled to appear Mondayin Payne County DistrictCourt. She has yet to be for-mally charged.

A police statement did notexplain the reasons for thenew charges, and aspokesman did not return re-peated messages seeking com-ment. Officials with the PayneCounty district attorney's of-fice couldn't immediately bereached.

Under Oklahoma law, sec-ond-degree murder chargesare warranted when someoneconducts an act that's "immi-nently dangerous to anotherperson" but does so withoutpremeditation. Each count ispunishable by at least 10years in prison.

Tony Coleman, Chambers'attorney, said at a news con-ference in Oklahoma City thathe believed his client suffersfrom a mental illness and thatthere was no indication thatshe was drinking before thecrash. Police are awaitingblood tests to determinewhether Chambers was im-paired by drugs or alcohol.

"I absolutely can rule outalcohol," Coleman said.

He said he spoke withChambers for about an hour.

"During that entire inter-view, I was not satisfied at allthat I was communicatingwith a competent individual,"Coleman said.

Chambers, who had been atwork before the crash, doesn'tremember much of what hap-pened, only recalling being ex-tremely confused as she wasremoved from the car, thelawyer said.

"She could have evenblacked out," Coleman said.

U.S. State Silver Bars go to residents in 6 states

2015

UNITEDSTATES

DISTRIBUTION NOTICE:

NATIONWIDE – The phone lines are ringing off the hook.

That’s because U.S. State Sil-ver Bars sealed away in heavy Vault Bricks are being handed over to GA, AL, FL, SC, TN and NC residents at just the state minimum for the next 2 days.

This is not a misprint. For the next 2 days residents who find their state on the Distribution List above in bold are getting individual State Silver Bars at just the state minimum of $57 set by the Lincoln Treasury. That’s why near-ly everyone is taking full Vault Bricks loaded with five U.S. State Silver Bars before they’re all gone.

And here’s the best part. Every GA, AL, FL, SC, TN and NC resident who gets at least two Vault Bricks is also getting free shipping and free han-dling. That’s a real steal because all other state residents must pay over six hundred dollars for each State Vault Brick.

Just a few weeks ago, nobody knew that the only U.S. State Silver Bars locked away in the private vaults of the Lincoln Treasury would be released to residents in 6 states. Every single one of the 50 U.S. State Silver Bars are date numbered in the order they rati-fied the Constitution and were admit-ted into the Union beginning in the late 1700s.

“As Executive Advisor to the Lin-coln Treasury I get paid to deliver breaking news. So, for anyone who hasn’t heard yet, never before seen U.S. State Silver Bars are now be-ing handed over at just the state min-imum to residents in 6 states who beat the offer deadline, which is why I pushed for this announcement to be widely advertised,” said Mary Ellen Withrow, the emeritus 40th Treasur-er of the United States of America.

“These heavy bars are solid .999 pure fine silver and will always be a valuable precious metal which is why everyone is snapping up as many as they can before they’re all gone,” Withrow said.

There’s one thing Withrow wants to make very clear. State residents only have two days to call the Toll Free Or-der Hotlines to get the U.S. State Sil-ver Bars.

“These valuable U.S. State Silver Bars are impossible to get at banks, credit unions or the U.S. Mint. In

A SNEAK PEAK INSIDE SILVER VAULT BRICKS: Pictured left reveals for the very first time the valuable .999 pure fine silver bars inside each State Silver Vault Brick. Pictured right are the heavy State Silver Vault Bricks containing the only existing U.S. State Silver Bars. GA, AL, FL, SC, TN and NC residents are authorized to get individual State Silver Bars at just $57 state resident minimum. That’s why nearly everyone is taking full Vault Bricks loaded with five State Silver Bars before they’re all gone. And here’s the best part. Every resident who gets at least two Vault Bricks is also getting free shipping and free handling. That’s a real steal because all other state residents must pay over six hundred dollars for each State Vault Brick.

TRYING TO KEEP UP: Rapid shipments of heavy packages containing Vault Bricks loaded with valuable .999 solid U.S. State Silver Bars are flowing around the clock from the private vaults of the Lincoln Treasury to U.S. State residents who call 1-877-356-4184 to beat the 48-hour deadline.

fact, they’re only being handed over at state minimum to GA, AL, FL, SC, TN and NC residents who call the Toll Free Hotline before the deadline ends two days from today’s publication date”, said Timothy J. Shissler, Exec-utive Director of Vault Operations at the private Lincoln Treasury.

To make it fair, special Toll Free Overflow Hotlines have been set up to ensure all residents have an equal chance to get them.

Rapid shipments to state residents are scheduled to begin with the first calls being accepted at precisely 8:30am today.

“We’re bracing for all the calls and doing everything we can to make sure no one gets left out, but the U.S. State Silver Bars are only being handed over at just the state resident minimum for the next two days or until they’re all gone, whichever comes first. For now, residents can get the U.S. State Silver Bars at just the state minimum as long as they call before the order deadline ends,” confirmed Shissler.

“With so many state residents try-ing to get these U.S. State Silver Bars, lines are busy so keep trying. All calls will be answered,” Shissler said.

Banks: I practiced two yearsand then have been here nine or10 years. We do all of the crimi-nal cases and felonies.

TCH:What is it like being anassistant DA?Banks: No two days are the

same. Every day you see some-thing that you've never seen.There is always something dif-ferent about a case or defendant.Some days are more trying thanothers. It's really interesting.You've got to read different casesthat come down from theSupreme Court and the Court ofAppeals and apply them to thecases we have here in LaurensCounty.

TCH: You are in the court-room a lot?Banks: We are constantly in

the courtroom trying cases, mo-tion to suppress and bond hear-ings. We take cases to the grandjuries so they can indict cases.When you aren't in the court-room, you are behind the deskpreparing and researching thecases you are getting ready forgoing to court. You are dealingwith other attorneys and meet-ing and talking with the victims.All of us in here have communityservice work that we do. It's notrequired, but it's just that wewant to give back to the commu-nity. I help with domestic vio-lence and Teen Court.

TCH:Did you always want tobe a attorney?Banks: I told my mom when

I was six that I wanted to be anattorney. It took me a long timeto get there. I went to law schoolat the age of 32. This is my sec-ond career. I was a child supportenforcement agency before be-coming a DA. I've always tried tohelp people. When I went to lawschool, I always wanted to be aprosecutor.My first job I hadwasat Georgia Legal Services whereI helped low income families whocouldn't afford attorneys. I didthat for about two years. I cameto the DAs office and I've loved it.I love protecting the streets ofDublin. I love trying to help peo-ple get out of the things they arein and help people in the situa-tion they are in. Some peoplefind themselves doing thingsthey normally wouldn't do. Crisisarise and they make a bad deci-sion. If they could relive that mo-ment again, nine out of 10 times,they wouldn't do it. They aren'tbad, just in a moment. Nowthere are some people who arebound to be repeat offenders.They make it a career to be acriminal.

TCH: You are the voice of thevictim in each case?Banks: Yes. I have found in

cases where we've sent people ofto the Board of Corrections or totreatment programs that theywill come back and thank me forhelping them get the treatmentthat they needed. Some are nowhelping other people stay off ofdrugs.

TCH: Waiting for a jury tocome back has to be stressful?Banks: It is. We are trying to

prove a case and we've put all ofthe evidence in. Ultimately it'sup to the jury to decide. Yes, it's avery stressful time for us, the de-fendant and their attorney.

TCH:Howdo you knowwhento object and how are you readyto site case law?Banks: You kind of know

what areas youmay be objecting.We have prepared for the objec-tion. Every attorney will havetheir binders. And when some-thing comes up, I flip over andgive the answer for the judge.That's pre-planning for the trial.TCH: How did you become

chairman of the Dublin-LaurensCounty Domestic Violence TaskForce?Banks: I wasn't at the meet-

ing. I was in the courtroom. Icame back to my desk and therewas a note on my computer thatsaid, "Congratulations. You arethe chairperson for the taskforce." It's been an exciting time.I knew what we would be facing.Our main objective is to bringawareness to the problem. Wewant to prevent domestic vio-lence and let people know whatavenues they can go to get help.We want the community to knowthat when a young man orwoman tries to break off a rela-tionship, that's when there is themost potential for violence.

TCH: Congratulations onyour upcoming wedding. I knowyou are excited about gettingmarried. What's your fiance’sname?Banks: Robert Hightower

and he's a wonderful young manwho owns his own business. Hetreats me nice, the way a man issupposed to treat a woman. He isvery thoughtful and sweet.

TCH: Over the last couple ofyears, you have been able to losea lot of weight?Banks: I dropped a lot of

weight. Peter Fred Larsen is myfitness guru. He came to me andtold me we might be able to dosomething and it has reallymade a difference in my life. I'mable to do more things. It's a con-stant balance of eating right andexercising. He was really theperson who set me up on this di-et plan. It's hard and tough, butthe benefit has been great. Evenmy doctor has been impressed.And I'm keeping it off. It has tobe a lifetime change.

TCH: It doesn't take much toput the weight back on?Banks: It doesn't. It's been

one thing that I have to con-stantly keep a check on. I have tosit in court a lot. I never thoughtabout that extra weight andpoundage. I didn't think about ituntil it was off. Now I don't feelas tired because I'm not carryingthis extra weight around. Ithelps me to live a healthier life.

TCH: Before we talk aboutshoe shopping, what are yourother hobbies?Banks: I love to read. I'm a

part of the Women on the Movebook club and I'm also a memberof the Emerald PecanGroveGar-den Club. Outside of reading, mypassion is shoes.

TCH: Robert knows this,right?Banks:Yes he knows I have a

shoe passion. I have dedicatedone room to my house to myshoes. Going shoe shopping is astress reliever. You have to beaware of how much money Ispend on my shoe collection. Ihave a budget for shoes.

TCH: How many pairs ofshoes do you own?Banks: Oh, it's over 500. A

few years ago, I told all of myfriends and co-workers that Iwas going to wear a differentpair of shoes each day for the en-tire year, and that included theweekend. That's how I knew Ihad over 500 pairs. I could weara different pair of shoes everyday. I have tennis shoes, dressshoes, sandals, boots, rain boots.There are certain style of shoes Idon't have. I think they need tobe in collection this year. Ihaven't gone over my budget yet.

TCH: You've got a weddingcoming up. You'll need shoes.Banks: I've bought those al-

ready. You may be surprised thatI bought those first.TCH:We are.

Profilecommunity. I achieve thisthrough volunteer coaching inmultiple sports, both with theDublin Laurens County Recre-ation Authority and the DudleyLittle League. I consider myselfto be a community servantrather than a politician.

2. Why did you decide torun?

I have been truly honoredand humbled to represent WardIV on the Dublin City Councilfor the past 9 years. I have seenfirst hand what can be accom-plished when personal agendasare put aside and true collabo-ration takes place. With thatbeing said, there is still a lot ofwork to be done. I desire to bere-elected so that I can workeven harder to make Dublin agreat place to Live, Work, andPlay! To accomplish this task,leaders must collaborate, coop-erate, and put into place actionsteps to continue the enhanceddevelopment of our infrastruc-ture and natural resources, aswell as, invest in the intellectu-al growth of our future genera-tions.

3. Downtown Dublin con-tinues to see a resurgence asnew invest-ment/business/growth takesplace in the district. Whicharea of the city do you feelrequires similar attentionin order to help Dublin real-ize its full potential?

On a yearly basis, the DublinCity Council has a planning re-treat that focuses on the city’smaster plan, ongoing projectsand projected projects. Duringthis time we also discuss areasthat individual council personsfeel may need to be addressed. Ibelieve that there are severalareas that need immediate at-tention. These areas include the“Gateways” into Dublin mean-ing Hwy 441 South, Hwy 19,and North Jefferson Street. I al-so believe that it is important toseize the momentum generatedby the revitalization of Down-town Dublin and encourage re-development in neighborhoodsadjacent to Downtown such asthe Stubbs Park and ChurchStreet. Plans are underway toform a Land Bank Authority.This entity could serve as a cat-alyst to jump start revitaliza-tion in some of these blightedareas.

4. The Laurens CountyCommissioners have aplanned millage increase,while the Laurens CountySchool System is planning adecrease. What is your opin-ion concerning propertytaxes, and when is it appro-priate to raise/lower thosetaxes?

To constituents, there is nev-er a good time to raise taxes. Ibelieve that transparency isparamount. It is important forthe public to understand whatservices the taxes deliver. I be-lieve that it is better to beproactive and slightly increasetaxes along the way than to bereactive and implement a singlelarge increase. If government isproactive in that regard, I be-lieve the slight tax increasewould be better received by thepublic. Using this same analogyof being proactive versus reac-tive, if you were proactive andhad several small tax increasesover a selected period and thenthe property digest was thebeneficiary of increased proper-ty values whether through re-assessment measures orthrough the natural chains ofsupply and demand, you maybe able to roll back the millage

rate and generate the same tax-es from the property digest.

5. Dublin continues tofeel the after-effects of theGreat Recession. With a re-gional unemployment ratethat has been the highest inthe state, what would yousuggest be done by the may-or and council to help com-bat this issue and help putmore people into qualityjobs?

Well, I feel like what hasbeen done over the last severalyears has been productive. TheCity Council has worked closelywith Laurens County and theDublin Laurens Industrial De-velopment Authority to attractindustry. In the last five yearsthere has been over $80 millionof capital investment with newindustries that have chosen tolocate in Dublin. These indus-tries have created over 950 jobs.Recruitment and job creation isa tough business. Many com-munities are vying for the sameindustrial prospects. Because ofthe past successes of the Indus-trial Development Authorityand the “can do” attitude of allthose involved, when an indus-try is looking for a home,Dublin is invited to the table.The Development Authorityhas an active caseload of 12 pro-jects that are currently in thepipeline. If each one of theseprojects were to select Dublinas their home, over 3,000 jobscould be created.

The City Council has beenproactive through the Down-town Development Authority indeveloping public spaces Down-town, this has spurred privateinvestment in the area. Overthe last 8-10 years there hasbeen approximately $35-$40million in public and private in-vestment Downtown. It hasbeen said that the downtownarea is the heartbeat of a com-munity. You can certainly seethat ours has not been neglect-ed and points to a positivepromising future for our com-munity. The continued improve-ments downtown play a signifi-cant role in both industrial andretail recruitment. The CityCouncil needs to continue to bean entrepreneurial friendly cityand provide a business climatethat encourages private invest-ment and job creation. We alsoneed to work closely with ourvarious education systems to becertain that we are training to-morrow’s workforce with theappropriate skillsets that willallow them to be productivecontributors: Recruitment, In-vestment, Redevelopment, andEducation.

6. Concerning infrastruc-ture, what direction do youfeel the city should takeconcerning infrastructureimprovements? Do you feelthe city is currently doingenough in the upkeep of itsroads/water/sewer/naturalgas/etc. and, if not, whatwould your plan be to pro-tect Dublin from infrastruc-ture degradation?

The implementation of in-frastructure stabilization andimprovements is a continuous,ongoing process. Improvementsto the water, sewer, gas androad systems should always re-ceive adequate funding duringthe budgetary cycle process. Inthe recent past, paper recordshave been kept to highlight thelayouts of these systems, tohighlight past service recordsfor these systems and recordcustomer complaints. I ampleased to say that the City ofDublin is moving into the 21stcentury relative to technologythat will enable the aforemen-

tioned departments to work“smarter”. The City is in theprocess of implementing a GISMapping System with the gasdepartment that will replicateour gas system. This replica-tion will allow gas employees tobetter respond to issues regard-ing the system, keep betterrecords regarding maintenanceon the system, as well as cap-ture customer service issuestoo. This process can then beused with the water and sewersystems as well. I believe thatlong range planning concerningour infrastructure improve-ments is crucial to the contin-ued industrial growth thatDublin Laurens County has ex-perienced over the last severalyears and will continue to expe-rience. Dublin is viewed aroundthe state as a progressive mu-nicipality and one of the rea-sons has been the ability of ourleaders to see the “forest in-stead of just the trees”. Whenre-elected, I will make certainthat proper infrastructureplanning continues.

7. The Dublin Police De-partment continues to in-crease its outreach effortsin the community through avariety of programs. Per-taining to law enforcementand personal safety, whatdo you think of those effortsand what would you do toaid the DPD as it continuesto address crime reductionin our community?

Safety for both our citizensand officers are of the utmostimportance to me. It is impera-tive that the City Council,through budgetary measuresallocates the necessary funds toproperly equip our officers. Ibelieve that it is important thatthe police department contin-ues the community outreachprograms such as the Neigh-borhood Watch programs, theAnnual Fall Festival, the workwith the Dublin Housing Au-thority summer programs,work within the school systemsand the various others that ourdedicated officers plan and im-plement. The Bicycle Officerinitiative has paid dividendsfrom its inception. I feel thatthis initiative has helped fosterbetter relationships betweenour officers and citizens. I be-lieve that we should encourageadditional forms of alternativepolicing that reconnects theseofficers to the neighborhoodsthey patrol.

8. What is the singlegreatest challenge facingthe city of Dublin, and whatwould you do, if elected, tomeet that challenge?

The single greatest chal-lenge that we face is the prepa-ration for the potential indus-trial growth that may occurover the next ten years. Ourarea is poised for tremendousgrowth due to our proximity tothe port in Savannah and ourshort distance to Hartsfield-Jackson Airport. The Industri-al Development Authority hasmany assets that are attractiveto large industry. These assetsinclude the 2000 acre MegaSite located on the eastern sideof the county. Industrialgrowth coincides with the needfor expansion in other areassuch as infrastructure en-hancements, increased hous-ing needs due to populationgrowth, retail expansion, in-creased educational needs, andsmall business opportunityand creation. This develop-ment will be a nice problem tohave. The city needs to be pre-pared to absorb this potentialgrowth. Because of that weneed to grow responsibly.

From a City Council per-spective, we need to continueto support the Downtown De-velopment Authority in theircontinued redevelopment ofthe downtown corridor, theDublin Laurens Industrial De-velopment Authority in the re-cruitment of new industry andsupport investment in the livesof our children through our pri-mary post, and secondary edu-cation systems. We must con-tinue to work everyday to findbetter ways to serve our cus-tomers/citizens and strive tomake Dublin a better and saferplace to Live, Work, and Play!

9. Where do you seeDublin in the next 10 years?And how would you con-tribute to the county realiz-ing that future?

The single greatest chal-lenge is also where I believethat we will be in the nextdecade. In the next 10 years, Isee significant growth in ourindustrial base due to the closeproximity to the port in Savan-nah. Dublin Laurens County isalready a regional hub for re-tail and healthcare needs forthe surrounding 13 countyarea. This growth over the nextdecade will increase the re-gional draw for our area. As werealize this growth we will rec-ognize ancillary growth in oth-er areas. These will include butare not limited to populationgrowth (which will mean in-creased housing needs) and re-tail growth (which will meanan increase in small businesscreation). All these tenetspoint to job growth which is aprimary need for our area. Iplan to be at the table with theLaurens County Board ofCommissioners to discuss theneeds of our great city andcounty and I plan to be part ofthe team that determines aplan of action and implementsthe appropriate measures thatare needed to move Dublin/Laurens County into the fu-ture. I take this responsibilityseriously and I vow to be fis-cally responsible when imple-menting the plans. I intend tosupport the Dublin LaurensIndustrial Development Au-thority in their efforts to at-tract new industry to our area.I intend to help foster a localbusiness climate that is con-ducive to small businessgrowth.

10. Finally, why shouldvoters pull the lever inyour favor during the Nov.3 election? (Please be briefwith your response)

I have a servant’s heart anda keen desire to make Dublin abetter place to Live, Work, andPlay! I have experience, I haveserved as the Ward IV CityCouncilman for the last nineyears, including the last twoyears as Mayor Pro-Tem. Ihave completed over 72 hoursof “Elected Official” trainingthrough the Georgia Munici-pal Association and have beenawarded a “Certificate ofAchievement” by the organiza-tion. I am community mindedand do not have a personalagenda. I have the desire tomake decisions that are bothethically and morally correct.

In closing, I am asking thevoters of Ward IV to vote forand re-elect Bill Brown III astheir City Councilman becauseI am humbled by the trust thatyou have placed in me and Ivow to continue to serve withthe same integrity, because Ihave experience and I haveserved selflessly over the lastnine years, and because I willprovide stable and provenleadership going forward.

own their homes.

2. Why did you decide torun?

The reason I decided to runfor Dublin City CouncilWard 4 isbecause Dublin has the potentialto become a world-class city. Iwant to help make Dublin thebest city to work in and live toraise your families. I want to beinclusive to serve all citizens ofDublin with my background inserving and giving back. I believethat when you serve and giveback it becomes contagious mak-ing others want to exceed andhelp their city exceed.

3. Downtown Dublin con-tinues to see a resurgence asnew invest-ment/business/growth takesplace in the district. Whicharea of the city do you feel re-quires similar attention inorder to help Dublin realizeits full potential?

I feel all the gateways that en-ter the city of Dublin need to bebeautified. Low income areasneed better housing opportuni-ties. I am for the Land BankAu-thority being established here inDublin. There are approximately50 properties owned by the Citythat need an extra step to clear

the title before they could be soldor redeveloped. Once this hasbeen done the City can transferthese properties to the LandBankAuthority when it is estab-lished and start to construct nice,desirable and affordable housingfor every citizen in the great cityof Dublin. Thanks to Mr. EmoryBostic who is the President ofSouthside Community Associa-tion and members of City Coun-cil for taking the time and mak-ing an effort to help beautifyDublin. Also, I feel we need Se-nior Citizens’ housing developedin other areas of Dublin, e.g.Scottsville area, and near SusieDasher school would be a greatlocation.

4. The Laurens CountyCommissioners have aplanned millage increase,while the Laurens CountySchool System is planning adecrease. What is your opin-ion concerning property tax-es, and when is it appropri-ate to raise/lower those tax-es?

The Laurens County Com-missioners have a planned mill-age increase while the LaurensCounty School System is plan-ning a decrease. I feel that whenconsidering increasing taxes thisshould be done gradually. I feelwhen it is done it should be done

in small increases because thisputs a burden on taxpayers espe-cially families who already liveon a fixed income.

5. Dublin continues to feelthe after-effects of the GreatRecession. With a regionalunemployment rate that hasbeen the highest in the state,what would you suggest bedone by the mayor and coun-cil to help combat this issueand help put more people in-to quality jobs?

I feel that the Mayor and CityCouncil can adopt a plan to offereducational training for thosewho are unemployed. Assist theDowntownDevelopmentAuthor-ity to bring in businesses whocan offer meaningful living wagejobs for all the citizens of Dublin.Stress the importance of gradu-ating from high school, going tocollege and helping our youngmen understand the importanceof being the head of the homeand owning their own business.

6. Concerning infrastruc-ture, what direction do youfeel the city should take con-cerning infrastructure im-provements? Do you feel thecity is currently doingenough in the upkeep of itsroads/water/sewer/naturalgas/etc. and, if not, what

would your plan be to pro-tect Dublin from infrastruc-ture degradation?

I feel the City of Dublin is do-ing a good job in the upkeep ofour roads/water/sewer/naturalgas, etc. I feel the city needs towork on addressing "High Prior-ity" areas as far as paving roads,fixing pot holes, etc.

7. The Dublin Police De-partment continues to in-crease its outreach efforts inthe community through avariety of programs. Per-taining to law enforcementand personal safety, what doyou think of those effortsand what would you do toaid the DPD as it continuesto address crime reductionin our community?

I want to play a role in help-ing reduce crime in all commu-nities. I agree the city is doingan excellent job in policing ourcommunities. We need the citi-zens to help with this effort byreporting known crime, keepingtheir eyes and ears opened towhat goes on in their communi-ties and surrounding communi-ties. We need citizens to buy in-to wanting to develop a neigh-borhood watch committee. Weas a community need everybodyto play a role in policing wherewe live.

8. What is the singlegreatest challenge facingthe city of Dublin, and whatwould you do, if elected, tomeet that challenge?

I believe the greatest chal-lenge facing the city of Dublininvolve our youth, our youngadults in decision makingprocess. We need them to be in-volved in the political process,graduating from college, buyingtheir own homes, owning theirown businesses, etc. I wantDublin to have great opportuni-ties to offer them when theygraduate college that will makethem want to come back toDublin and work, pay taxes andraise their families.

9. Where do you seeDublin in the next 10 years?And how would you con-tribute to the county realiz-ing that future?

In the next ten years I seeDublin being one of the leadingtowns that will entice gradu-ates, retirees, people from otherstates to want to come here towork, live, raise families and tosettle down. I foresee Dublin asbeing leading in Industries,Universities, the best medicalfacilities, recreation and thebest city in the world to live! Weneed to work together to in-

clude "all", young, old, black,white, rich, poor, able, disabled,etc. I am running for DublinCity Councilwoman to affordevery and all citizens the oppor-tunity to live a life that includesdecent paying jobs, affordablehousing, great recreation andentertainment, etc. I want allcitizens to be proud to callDublin their home.

10. Finally, why shouldvoters pull the lever in yourfavor during the Nov. 3 elec-tion? (Please be brief withyour response)

I want voters to pull thelever for Sophia Jordan becauseI will bring new ideas, a chanceto make tomorrow better todayby helping to bring in good pay-ing jobs, the best colleges, hous-ing opportunities, helping ourpolice department keep crimedown, taking care of our seniorcitizens and most of all helpingout homeless veterans withhousing and deserving medicalattention.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) —Atlanta wide receiver Julio Joneswants the Falcons to snap out oftheir offensive funk, even if theyfound a way to squeeze out anugly win.Matt Ryan threw for 251yards and a touchdown pass, andDevonta Freeman ran for 116yards as the Falcons held off theTennessee Titans 10-7 Sunday.The Falcons (6-1) bouncedback from their first loss this sea-son by grinding out a road winand overcoming two intercep-tions. Freeman notched his thirdconsecutive game with at least100 yards, and Atlanta outgainedTennessee 378-256 in squeakingout the win."At the end of the day, a win'sa win," Ryan said. "When you goon the road in this league and getit done ... that's rewarding."Still, Jones knows the Falconscan play better."We've got to fix what we've

got going on," Jones said. "Wecame out here to get a 'W' andwe got the 'W' and it's on to theTampa Bay Buccaneers. ... It was-n't pretty, but it just shows thatwe're going to fight to the end."The banged-up Titans (1-5)lost their fifth straight overalland ninth consecutive on theirhome field dating back to lastseason. They played withoutrookie quarterback MarcusMariota and two starters in theirsecondary before losing twomore starters.Their defense kept themclose, giving Tennessee plenty ofchances needing only a field goalto force overtime. But ZachMettenberger was interceptedby undrafted rookie Falconssafety Robenson Therezie with1:31 left to seal Atlanta's victory."We can't make mistakesthere," Titans coach KenWhisenhunt said.The Falcons had plenty ofchances to keep this from beingclose late.Atlanta coach Dan Quinnthought the Falcons scored when

Ryan hit Julio Jones with a 3-yardpass, but officials ruled thereceiver short of the goal line.Not even Quinn's challengehelped as officials ruled Jonesdown 6 inches outside the endzone after he tried sticking the

ATLANTA (AP) — RobertoAguayo had never missed a kickin the fourth quarter for FloridaState.At the very least, the No. 9Seminoles seemed assured ofgoing to overtime againstGeorgia Tech.Instead, they lost the game.Aguayo's 56-yard field goalattempt was blocked, and it onlygot worse from there for FSU.Lance Austin scooped up theloose ball and returned it 78yards for a touchdown on thefinal play of the game, giving theYellow Jackets a stunning 22-16upset Saturday night.With Kick Six, The Sequel,Florida State's national champi-onship hopes were dealt a dev-astating blow."We needed to cover it,"coach Jimbo Fisher said. "That'sfinishing the game. We knowwhen there's a blocked kick,you've got to cover it. We talkabout it all the time."They'll be talking about thisgame for years.The Seminoles (6-1, 4-1) hadlost only once in the last 2 1-2years, and they hadn't droppedan Atlantic Coast Conferencegame since 2012. They came inwith a 28-game winning streakagainst ACC opponents, lookingto tie the mark that Florida Stateset by winning its first 29 con-ference games after joining theleague in 1992.That's gone now.A run at the national champi-onship may be, too, after fallingto Georgia Tech (3-5, 1-4).The Yellow Jackets came inwith a five-game losing streak,their longest skid since 1994."We still have a chance to bea very good football team,"Fisher insisted. "A lot of ourgoals are still out there. Ourmain goal is to try and be thebest we can be. That hasn't beenthere."Indeed, Florida State hadplenty of chances to put this oneaway, even though they weresluggish offensively and failed tobuild on two first-half intercep-tions that led to 10 points.Leading 16-13 in the fourthquarter, the Seminoles drove

deep into Georgia Tech territorylooking for a clinching score. Onthird-and-goal from the 10,Everett Golson's deflected passled to Florida State's first offen-sive turnover of the season —and first turnover of any kindsince their first game.Jamal Golden made the inter-ception in the back of the endzone after the ball was knockedaway from Travis Rudolph, anomen of what was to come forthe Seminoles.Justin Thomas, who had a 60-yard touchdown run for theYellow Jackets after those twoearly interceptions, kept thegame alive by converting onfourth-and-six from the GeorgiaTech 41. The quarterback hitBrad Stewart on a 36-yard passthat set up Harrison Butker's

third field goal of the game, a 35-yarder that tied it up with 54seconds left.With two timeouts, FloridaState still had time to get intofield goal range for Aguayo, whohad already made three in thegame and was 60 of 66 in hiscareer. But the Seminoles didn'tget quite close enough, forcinghim to drive the ball a littlelower than usual on what wouldhave been the longest kick of hiscareer.Fisher was confident it wouldgo through.So was Aguayo."I thought I hit the ball well,"the kicker said. "I looked up anddidn't see it flying down themiddle. Then I saw it on theground. A lot of their guys, a lotof our guys thought it was dead.

It was kind of confusing."Turns out, the Seminoles did-n't even get a shot at overtime.Austin made sure of that."When I picked it up andstarted running up the field, Isaw a lot of green," the sopho-more said. "So I was like, 'OK, Ican return it.'"That he did.All the way to the end zone."I go from yelling 'get awayfrom it' to 'run, run, run,'"Georgia Tech coach PaulJohnson quipped.This was no laughing matterfor Florida State, which couldstill get back into the nationalrace with a victory at No. 6Clemson in two weeks."We can't let one loss becometwo," Fisher said.The white-clad Georgia Tech

fans poured onto the field afterAustin scored, celebrating whatwas surely the most improbablewin in school history. They werestill milling about when a replayof the final play, complete withthe call by the Yellow Jackets'radio crew, was played on thevideo board.They cheered wildly asAustin zigzagged down the fieldall over again on the big screenat the opposite end of the stadi-um.It was a finish reminiscent ofAuburn running back a missedfield goal 109 yards to beatAlabama two seasons ago. Thatwas the original Kick Six, andended the Crimson Tide's hopesof a third straight national title.The Seminoles can only hopeto write a different ending.

Gators beatCrusaders inʻbattle of thebig fullbacksʼ

By RAHN HUTCHESONStatesboro HeraldIt was the battle of the big full-backs Friday night at Gator Alley,and Bulloch Academy's TyceLovett came out on top.The junior rushed for 111yards on eight carries and scoredthree touchdowns to lead theGators to a 38-12 victory overTrinity Christian School ofDublin in GISA Region 2-AAAplay on Homecoming night."I told the kids on Mondaythat we were going back to theold school; running the wishboneand establishing the fullback,"said BA head coach TerenceHennessy. "I told Tyce that Iwanted him to hit the hole hardand fast. Don't cut back or sliceoff. Consequently, I thought thiswas his best game of the seasonrunning the ball."Lovett had scores of 43, threeand one yard and broke a 49-yard jaunt on BA's second offen-sive play.Crusader fullback TylerFennell was the workhorse of theTCS wishbone attack, carryingthe ball 18 times for 72 yards andone score. Ironically, Lovett wasFennell's biggest nemesis as heand the Gator linebacker tradedblows with the viciousness ofbighorn sheep fighting over terri-tory."We told the kids all week notto let him (Fennell) beat us," saidHennessy. "We knew that he wastheir go-to guy and we had toplay tough, physical football tostop him. Our kids accepted thechallenge, and that's the way weplayed."Trinity (1-8, 0-3) had just 113yards rushing on the night.Bulloch scored twice in theopening quarter on two Lovettruns and took a 21-0 lead on aNathan Rice 25-yard TD recep-tion from quarterback LanierOlliff.While the Gator offense wasputting up points, the BA defensestuffed Trinity's attempts.Noseguard Braxton Brinsonrecovered a fumble to end a 10-play drive in the first quarter.Defensive end Hunter Perry hadtwo sacks, defensive backs Olliffand Jarves Williams each hadinterceptions and defensive tack-le Trevor Mason added a sackand also make a big stop on afourth-and-one play.Another Lovett dive midwaythrough the third and a BrianMarsh 30-yard field goal gaveBulloch a 31-0 lead in the fourth.With a running clock, Trinityavoided the goose egg in thefourth on a three-yard plunge byFennell on a fourth-and-goalwith 8:44 left.BA backup quarterback DonAaron answered back by turninga quarterback sneak into a 69-yard footrace midway throughthe quarter for the Gators' finalpoints.TCS added a late touchdown— a two-yard run by quarter-back Whit Mason — to bring thescore to its final.Mason was seven of 10 pass-ing for 110 yards but with twointerceptions. Jack Pharis andRylan McCoy each caught threepasses. Pharis had 40 yardsreceiving and McCoy had 37.The Crusaders close out theirseason Friday night, hostingEdmund Burke.

TALLADEGA, Ala. (AP) — As JoeyLogano made his third straight trip tovictory lane, questions swirled aboutreigning Sprint Cup champion KevinHarvick's late-race tactics.Several competitors accusedHarvick of intentionally causing a race-ending caution Sunday at TalladegaSuperspeedway, where Logano com-pleted a sweep of the second round ofNASCAR's playoffs.It came at the expense of DaleEarnhardt Jr., who was eliminated fromthe Chase for the Sprint Cup champi-onship at his best track for the secondconsecutive year. Earnhardt led a race-high 61 laps, but had to settle for sec-ond in a race he had to win when theHarvick-triggered crash ended the raceunder caution.NASCAR's most popular driver didnot question his fate."When the race is over, I can livewith the result as long as everyone elseis going by the same rules," Earnhardt

said. "I felt like per the rule book, itsorted out and I finished second. I'mOK with that."NASCAR said this week it wouldmake just one attempt at Talladega tofinish the race under green instead ofthe usual three tries in a nod towardcreating a safer racing environment.Drivers were almost unanimous intheir support of the change, even whenit came into play in a race that cut fourdrivers from the Chase field.Eliminated Sunday were Earnhardt,Ryan Newman — the runner-up toHarvick last year — and Joe GibbsRacing drivers Matt Kenseth andDenny Hamlin. JGR was considered aheavy favorite in this Chase after adominating regular season, but hadtwo of four drivers eliminated Sundayand both were furious with Harvick.Harvick had radioed to his crewunder caution that a mechanical issuewas preventing him from accelerating.But if he moved out of the way, he

risked falling to the back of the fieldand potentially being knocked out ofthe Chase.So he instead stayed put, and whenhis car failed to take off on the restart,he hit Trevor Bayne as Bayne tried todart around him and it triggered awreck that brought out the caution toend the race. Earnhardt was unable torace Logano for the win once the cau-tion was called."It was a pretty tough ending. (He)knew he was blowing up and toldeverybody he was going to stay in hislane," Kenseth said. "It just feels like wekind of lost control of the situation."Denny Hamlin echoed the senti-ments of his Joe Gibbs Racing team-mate. He was caught in the accidentand had to climb from his flaming car,and said after that Harvick caused thewreck rather than risk losing positionson the track that would knock him outof the Chase."The 4 could only run about 30

miles an hour, I think he saw peoplecoming and he knew he was so proba-bly going to be 30th, the last car on thelead lap, so he caused the wreck," saidHamlin.He had a far more scathing take onTwitter after he was eliminated fromthe Chase. Joe Gibbs Racing, the heavyfavorites in this championship race,instead had two of its four driversknocked out of the playoffs on Sunday."What a joke we have a car with nomotor wreck the field to end the race.Complete crap. Sorry to anyone whospent $ coming to this circus," Hamlintweeted.NASCAR reviewed video of the finalrestart several times with differentteam owners and crew chiefs followingthe race, and president Mike Heltonsaid officials did not find anythingamiss from Harvick."There is no evidence right now thatthere was anything that the 4 car didthat was questionable," Helton said.

Bayne felt Harvick's act was deliber-ate."Harvick is a really good driver,"Bayne said. "I think he knows the limitsof his car and where it's at, so that'swhy I think it was intentional."Harvick said his issue was a brokenexhaust pipe and "at the end, I was try-ing to get out of the way."Logano, who won at Charlotte,Kansas and now Talladega in thisround of the Chase, was showered inbeer as he made his way to victory lanefor the third consecutive week. It was-n't a celebration from the pro-Earnhardt crowd, but Logano didn'tmind as he steered his Ford toward thecans being hurled in his direction."I was aiming for them ... it's kind ofa cool explosion when you hit beercans," he said. "Kind of a shame they'rethrowing their beers full. It was like itwas raining out there. But that's OK.Everyone's passionate about their driv-er. That's what makes our sport great."

Logano wins, Earnhardt out with controversial finish at Talladega

By AMANDA HOWARDIn a closely contested semifi-nal MGMSAA football matchup,Dublin Middle School came outon top with the 22-14 victoryover West Laurens MiddleSchool.The Irish defense on theopening possession forced theRaiders to punt the ball away.Dublin began on its own 30 yardline, and Zion Kemp took thehand off to the house scoring the70-yard touchdown. Joshua Isaacadded the extra two points onthe conversion.A great punt by Cam Coopplaced the Irish deep in theirzone at the beginning of the sec-ond quarter. The Raider defensepinned them inside the five yardline forcing a punt from the endzone.D’Eryk Jackson blocked thepunt, and West Laurens recov-ered the ball for a touchdown.Coop kicked the PAT to tie thescore.It was a defensive battle forthe third quarter as neither teamscored.Dublin’s Kemp broke thestalemate with a 60-yard sprintto the end zone for his secondmajor of the afternoon.Less than 20 seconds ran offthe clock when West Laurens’Christian Covin broke free toscore a 68 yard touchdown toeven the score once more.

Kemp of the Irish boldly tookthe kick off through traffic downthe sidelines for about 60 yardsto the Raider 5 yard line.Isaac plowed his way into theend zone, then Kemp added thetwo-point conversion.Dublin will travel to DodgeCounty to defend their MGMSAAfootball title next Thursday.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Luke Hochevar wasamember of the Kansas City Royals who advancedto the World Series a year ago. He was in thedugout for every playoff game, took part in all thechampagne celebrations, got an American Leaguechampionship ring after the season.He never threw a single pitch, though.That makes this year's return to the Fall Classicso much sweeter. Now recovered from TommyJohn surgery that sidelined him last season,Hochevar has been able to contribute to the suc-cess of the club that made the reliever the No. 1overall draft pick in 2006."It feels great. There's no other way to explainit," Hochevar said. "To experience it last year wasunbelievable. To have the opportunity to comeback and do it again is even better."The easy argument is the Royals are backbecause they're the same team of a year ago. Theircore players that became household namesagainst the San Francisco Giants, such as first base-man Eric Hosmer and outfielder Lorenzo Cain, arestill doing their thing in Kansas City.The reality is the Royals are back largelybecause of all their new faces.There were only 12 players on their 25-manroster for the AL Championship Series againstToronto that were on the roster against the Giants.Just four of those were pitchers, and the onlystarter was Yordano Ventura, who helped KansasCity to victory in the decisive Game 6.The Royals used the same roster in the divi-sional round against Houston, and figure to have asimilar makeup when they open the World Serieson Tuesday night against the New York Mets."This is a different team," Royals manager NedYost acknowledged, "but we play the same."By that, he means the Royals still rely on pitch-ing and defense. They still win by making fewermistakes than the opponent. They still cause havocon the base paths, rarely strike out.It's just that the cast of characters doing it isslightly different.

The Royals walked on an expensive option ondesignated hitter Billy Butler, signing KendrysMorales to replace him. The move proved to bebrilliant: Morales hit 22 homers during the regularseason and has hit four more during the playoffs."He's been the middle-of-the-order bat fromthe first day," Yost said. "He put up tremendousnumbers, power numbers, RBI numbers, he's beengreat from both sides of the plate."In the field, the Royals moved on from rightfielder Nori Aoki by signing Alex Rios, who is hit-ting .333 in the first playoff appearance of his 12-year career. Second baseman Omar Infante hasbeen hurt, so deadline-acquisition Ben Zobrist hastaken over, hitting .326 while driving in six runsthis postseason — including two homers againstToronto.The backup catcher has been Drew Buterarather than Erik Kratz. The utility men have beenPaulo Orlando and Christian Colon, rather thanJosh Willingham and Jayson Nix.All of them easily could be consideredupgrades.But it's among the pitchers where the differ-ences aremost stark: Alongwith Ventura, the rota-tion consists of Edinson Volquez, Johnny Cuetoand Chris Young, while last year it was JamesShields, Jeremy Guthrie and Jason Vargas in thepostseason.Volquez was the Royals' big offseason signingafter Shields left in free agency. But Young wassigned at the start of spring training after spendingtime away from the game, and pitched hisway intothe playoff rotation, dominating the Blue Jays inGame 4 of the ALCS."When I started here, I had a conversation with(general manager) Dayton Moore," Young said. "Isaid, 'Look, I want to be a part of a winning club. Ibelieve I can contribute, help your team, and I'll dowhatever you need me to do. And the Royals said,'OK, we'd love to have you.' Now, to have thisopportunity, I just can't thank the organizationenough for believing in me."
