CARBO Ceramics closes doors on McIntyre plantBy CANDACE MORROWMCINTYRE — Employees pre-

pare to leave their jobs and liveli-hoods behind as CARBO Ceramicsofficially closed its McIntyre plantdoors Tuesday.The Houston-based company

blames lower crude prices for forcinga cutback in drilling and crippling

demand for proppants — small parti-cles like sand or ceramic beadspumped into a well allowing oil andgas to flow through.The McIntyre plant processes

kaolin into ceramic beads.“As was mentioned in January on

our fourth quarter conference call,CARBO began slowing production

earlier this year to assist in manag-ing cash and inventory levels,” saidCEO Gary Kolstad. “The company'sactions were in direct response to adepressed commodity price for oiland the resulting negative impact onindustry activity levels, which ishaving a negative impact on demandfor ceramic proppant.”

The company has seen little im-provment for the demand for ceram-ic proppant nor does it anticipateany change in the near future, Kol-stad said.“With this outlook in mind, we

have decided to mothball our facilityin McIntyre until such time as mar-

By PAYTON TOWNS IIIForty members from Illinois State

University made a stop in East DublinWednesday, with a woman who neededhelp around her house.The students, who are part of the

non-profit Students Today Leaders For-ever, were in town as part of their Pay itForward Tour.Tracy Kinney, executive director with

Habitat for Humanity, a partneredagency with The Heart of Georgia Unit-ed Way, said the group contacted herboard president, Jared Middleton, lastDecember."They are taking their Spring Break

to travel to several different areas andwork," Kinney said.Originally, the students were going to

be working on House No. 35., but theweather pushed back its start."We have done several work days out

here for her with our Youth Group (atPine Forest United Methodist Church),"Middleton said. "Helping others (inHabitat homes) is always in the back ofour mind's if we have groups who arelooking for a place to work."Wilder lives in House No. 14. She has

been in a wheelchair her entire life andher husband passed away a few yearsago."She isn't physically able to do some

of the maintenance on the house," Kin-ney said. "This group is going to comeout and help her with some washed outareas in her driveway, and wash downthe house. There is pine straw on theroof and some holes that need filling.They are going to take half a day and dosome maintenance, which seems simpleto us, but for her, it's something shecan't do herself."After a group picture, the students

got to work, raking leaves, shoveling dirtand doing other things around thehouse.Shana Ariaz, Nick Wages, Cory An-

Treating viruses with an-tibiotics is like putting ascreen door on a submarine.It's ineffective and can causelots of problems when a battlebegins. But, according to theCenters for Disease Controland Prevention, that hasn'tstopped doctors from writingtens of millions of prescrip-tions for antibiotics annuallyto "treat" viral illnessesagainst which they have ab-solutely no effect.

That misuse contributes tothe development of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. And it un-necessarily exposes you toproblems associated with tak-ing antibiotics: They depletegood intestinal bacteria while

KOing bad ones, which meansyou end up losing bugs youneed for a healthy digestivetract and immune system. (Wesuggest taking a spore-formprobiotic when you take anantibiotic.) And according to anew lab-based study, antibi-otics may turn epithelial cellslining your intestine into ascreen door. Ideally, those cellshelp transmit liquid and nu-trients into the bloodstreamwhile maintaining a disease-preventing barrier betweenyour internal organs and po-tentially harmful bacteria inyour gut.Apparently, antibiotics dam-age that barrier.

But the effort to reduce themisuse of antibiotics shouldn'tbe directed only at doctors andpatients. About 80 percent ofantibiotics sold in the U.S. are

used in meat and poultry pro-duction, and enter your sys-tem that way. So let's lobby forchanges in food production.And if you eat meat, poultry,milk and eggs, make surethey're antibiotic-free. Or bet-ter yet, eliminate red meat,eggs and whole dairy fromyour diet, and double up onfruits, veggies and 100 percentwhole grains. Save the antibi-otics for their life-saving role.

"And please, Lord, help meto get through the weddingpreparations without a squab-ble with the 'other side.' Anddrive from my mind the beliefthat had my child waitedawhile, he or she could havedone better.

"Dear Lord, remind me dai-ly that when I become agrandmother, my childrendon't want advice on how toraise their children any morethan I did when I was raising

mine."If you will help me to do

these things, perhaps my chil-dren will find me a joy to bearound, and maybe I won'thave to write a 'Dear Abby' let-ter complaining about my chil-dren neglecting me. Amen."

DEAR ABBY: I'd like toknow why they still call ex-presidents "president"? Forexample, President Clinton orPresident Bush. They clearlyare not president any longer. -- JUST WONDERING IN EU-GENE, ORE.

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

without malicious intent.

Our Take:

March 11The Augusta Chronicle, Augusta,

Georgia, on carrying concealedweapons across Georgia borders:

Under current laws, a SouthCarolinian legally carrying a concealedweapon becomes a criminal the momenthe or she crosses the border into Georgia.The same goes for a properly permittedPeach State resident who goes packingin the Palmetto State.

That's because the next-door neigh-bors don't recognize each other's con-cealed-weapon permits. They do, howev-er, honor permits issued by far-awaystates such as Alaska, Michigan andNorth Dakota.

Imagine if states treated driver'slicenses as oddly - a cross-country tripmight require circuitous route-planningto avoid running afoul of the law.

It shouldn't be this way, and it won'tfor much longer if legislation pending inCongress becomes law.

The Constitutional Concealed CarryReciprocity Act of 2015, introduced byU.S. Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, wouldextend the rights that concealed-carrypermit holders enjoy in their home statesto all others that permit concealed carry.A companion bill in the House has beenintroduced by U.S. Rep. MarlinStutzman, R-Ind.

The legislation is long past due. Law-abiding citizens shouldn't have to checktheir Second Amendment rights at stateborders any more than their other con-stitutional rights.

———March 9The Daily Citizen, Dalton,

Georgia, on legislation to permitmedical use of cannabis oil inGeorgia:

Last year, the Georgia Senate dashedthe hopes of those suffering from seizuredisorders. We hope our senators do notact as cruelly this year.

Last year, the state House ofRepresentatives overwhelmingly

approved a bill to allow the state's med-ical colleges to dispense a type ofcannabis oil low in THC, a compoundthat gets people high, to people sufferingfrom seizures and some other disorders.

But when the bill arrived in the stateSenate, senators attached a completelyunrelated bill before passing it. Housemembers refused to approve the amend-ed bill and the measure failed.

"The problem last year was not somuch with the bill itself, though I guesssome senators may have had some prob-lems with the bill," said state Rep. TomDickson, R-Cohutta. "The real problem isthat it got caught up in politics. Therewas a Senate bill dealing with insurancecoverage for autism that was being heldup in the House. And the situation wasbasically, 'We aren't going to move yourbill if you don't move ours.'"

Last month, the House againapproved the medical marijuana bill by alarge margin. But so far, the Senate has-n't taken up the measure. In fact, stateSen. Lindsey Tippins, R-Marietta, hasintroduced a competing bill that wouldcreate a four-year medical marijuanatrial at Georgia Regents University forpeople 18 and under who suffer from"medication resistant" seizures.

Supporters of the House bill, includ-ing parents of children with severeseizure disorders, say the Senate bill istoo narrow, that it would serve muchfewer patients and force those it wouldbenefit to jump through many hurdles.In fact, that seems to be the purpose ofthe bill, to give lawmakers the chance tovote for medical marijuana while actual-ly doing little to help anyone.

But while senators continue to playpolitics with this issue, children acrossthe state continue to suffer, and someGeorgia families continue to look forways to move to Colorado and otherstates that allow medical marijuana.

Georgia voters have a right to be rep-resented by people who demonstrate wis-dom and compassion. Too many of our

state senators have demonstrated nei-ther.

———March 9The Columbus Ledger-Enquirer,

Columbus, Georgia, on businessethics:

Two Columbus-based companies havedemonstrated once again that successfulbusiness practices and a culture of ethi-cal conduct are not mutually exclusive.To the contrary, the latter substantiallycomplements the former.

As reported Tuesday by the onlinebusiness newsletter Columbus CEO,Aflac and TSYS have again been recog-nized by the Ethisphere Institute (ethi-sphere.com) as being among the 2015World's Most Ethical Companies.

The Most Ethical designation is con-ferred on a pretty small and exclusiveclub: Only 132 businesses worldwidewere so recognized. Nevertheless, nei-ther Columbus corporation is a newcom-er. TSYS was awarded the distinction forthe third time in four years, and Aflachas received the Most EthicalCompanies designation in each of thenine years the list has been compiled, theonly insurance company in the world todo so.

Ethisphere CEO Timothy Erblichmade it clear that this elite list isn't justa matter of image polishing. The recogni-tion, he wrote in a prepared statementabout TSYS, "involves more than just anoutward facing message or a handful ofsenior executives saying the right thing."Rather, the Most Ethical Companies listis about businesses that "use ethics as ameans to further define their industryleadership," and it involves "the collec-tive action of a global workforce from thetop down."

Congratulations to Aflac and TSYS fortheir latest recognition as companieswhose practices others would do well toemulate.

Students at schools across LaurensCounty showed off a variety of charactertraits as part of Read Across America cel-ebrations.Some sported “Thing 1” or “Thing 2”

shirts, others transformed umbrellas intooctopods, and more still turned into wiz-ards, princesses and ladybugs.These character parades all highlighted

activities designed to draw attention tothe significance of reading in the growthand development of our young people.But let’s not stop at parades, coloring

contests and “Green Eggs and Ham”breakfasts.For that matter, let’s not allow activities

tied to reading to be limited only to theclassroom or school grounds.It has been proven time after time that

reading is essential to the development ofsuccessful young people. In order tocement the significance of this activitywith our children, why don’t we trade acouple evenings in front of the TV for acouple nights of reading at the sofa?Or how about board games with a read-

ing focus?Or how about simply reading your little

ones a book at bedtime?A few minutes here or there could be the

difference in creating a lifetime of addi-tional opportunities for your children tosucceed in everything from college to thereal world.Even if you don’t have a good costume,

give your children more “character” with agood book today.

By DR. JACK E. BROWNDwight D. Eisenhower (1890-1969) was

America’s 34th president (1953-1961), whohad served as the Supreme AlliedCommander in Europe during World WarII. He was born in Texas and grew up inKansas; graduated from the U.S. MilitaryAcademy atWest Point in 1915 (while therehe and another future American generalOmar Bradley played football for Army in1912); and, he served honorably duringWorld War I. He and his wife MamieGeneva Dowd married in 1916, and theywere Christians by faith.

In his position as Supreme AllieCommander in Europe during the war, itwas he who gave the “go ahead” for theNormandy D-Day Invasion, named“Operation Overlord,” on June 6, 1944, toliberate Europe from Nazi control. He ledAmerica in war and in peace and was high-ly respected for his organizational, states-manship and leadership skills. He waselected president in 1953, during theKorean War.

Here are two significant decisions byPresident Eisenhower that are overlookedor forgotten by many Americans: First, onJune 14, 1954, he supported and signedinto law Congressional Act, JointResolution 243, that added the phrase“under God” to the Pledge of Allegiance,and then stood on the steps of the U.S.Capitol and recited the Pledge ofAllegiancewith the phrase “one nation under God” forthe first time. Second, in 1956, he signedlegislation making “In God We Trust” theofficial national motto of America. Thismotto replaced “E Pluribus Unum” (out ofmany, one). “In God We Trust” is visiblethroughout America, notably on all ourcoins and currency, as a visible reminder ofGod’s influence and blessings upon ourcountry from its founding.

Here are two quotes: “The purpose of adevout and united people was set forth inthe pages of the Bible... (1) to live in free-dom, (2) to work in a prosperous land...and(3) to obey the commandments of God...ThisBiblical story of the Promised Land

inspired the founders of America. It contin-ues to inspire us...” In his Second InauguralAddress on Jan. 21, 1957, he said this:“Before all else, we seek upon our commonlabor as a nation, the blessings of AlmightyGod, and the hopes in our hearts fashionthe deepest prayers of our whole people.”

President Eisenhower died of congestiveheart failure on March 28, 1969, in WalterReed Army Hospital, Washington, D.C. Hewas 78 years old. After his funeral atWashington National Cathedral, his bodywas transported back to Kansas and waslaid to rest on the grounds of theEisenhower Presidential Library inAbilene, Kansas. Following her death a fewyears later, Mamie’s body was laid to restalongside her husband.

In closing this sketch of PresidentDwight D. “Ike” Eisenhower, let us remem-ber his dedicated leadership during warand peace and for his emphasis upon God’sblessings upon America, for we are “OneNation Under God” lest we forget...lest weforget. Peace!

ALMANAC

If Dublin has so muchmoney that they can buy331-acres of land, why don’tthey fix the roads?

The people in the Southare lazy, they don’t want towork; but the people in theNorth, they love to work.

I guess it’s all aboutwho you are and who youknow if you’ve got land forsale in Dublin.

Why didn’t they tie thebridge into the existingbridge on 441 instead ofBuckeye Road? BuckeyeRoad is horrible.

pitably," Wages said.When the tour began, many

of the people didn't know eachother."Now we are really close

friends and almost like a fami-ly," Ariaz said. "We are from abig school of about 20,000 stu-dents."Wages liked the group be-

cause it's fun to meet newfriends."I can be myself without be-

ing judged," he said. "Going ona Pay It Forward Tour allowsme to reach out to other com-munities, make new friendsand it also gives me an awe-some experience during mySpring Break."Gills likes to see the look on

people's faces when the projectis completed."The fact that in two or

three hours we do enough workthat would take them weeks ormonths," Gills said. "It's amaz-ing to help out people for agreat cause."Anderson said it was "awe-

some" that other people wouldlike to team up to help others."They have the passion and

drive for that," she said. "It'sgood to see us come togetherduring the week and helpingother people. We are all differ-ent majors, all different agesand we probably would havenever met each other. We'vemade these awesome friendsand now we have friendshipsfor life."The groups do different as-

signments at each stop."We've had a variety of ser-

vice projects," Wages said."We've helped a town withtheir historic depot restora-tion. We've helped a park dis-trict do some painting for someold baseball fields, we'veworked at the Birmingham Zooand (Tuesday) we worked at aHeadstart school in Tallahas-see, Fla. It's very nice to workwith a different number of or-ganizations and get to helpthem."Gills said they helped clean

out the cages at the Birming-ham Zoo."They told us that they don't

get the time to do some of thethings we were able to do," shesaid. "I personally got to helpby raking leaves in the giraffeexhibit. It was a great experi-ence to be able to help them."Today, the group will arrive

in Charleston, S.C., where theywill meet up with other groups

from other colleges."We'll be doing work with

about 147 of us, all togetherfrom all of the differentschools," Ariaz said.The group liked the weather

in the South."When we left Illinois, it

was 10 degrees," Wages said.Ariaz added, "It felt like

negative 20."Besides getting out of the

cold weather, Gills likes seeingeverybody come together tohelp out."It doesn't matter how small

the project is that we do," shesaid. "Everybody is so passion-ate on helping out and doingwhatever it is they can to makeeven the smallest difference insomebody's day."Wages said Students Today

Kinney said. "I was going tobuy some sandwiches. We real-ly didn't want to do somethingthat simple. (Golden Corral)donated the meal. We havevery supportive businesseshere in Dublin. We are veryblessed."Kinney added that they

plan to start work on HouseNo. 35 this Saturday around 8a.m."We are praying for clear

people started congratulatingme."Anna, along with many

other fifth graders from theMiddle Georgia area, tooktheir projects to the DublinMall on Feb. 25. A day later,they received an email from afriend who had been at themall. They were looking at allof the projects and noticedthat Anna had won. Melissasaid they were "shocked.""We saw the other projects

in the mall," Melissa said."There were so many goodones there. We were really, re-ally impressed. We spent a lotof time in the mall admiringall of the other ones."Anna's teacher and other

educational leaders were im-pressed with her outcome."We are extremely proud of

the effort she put forth in thescience fair," said NWLEPrincipal Dr. Amy Duke. "Itwas a huge accomplishment."Laurens County School Su-

perintendent Rob Johnsonadded, "I'm very proud of herwinning the science fair andI'm proud of those who partic-ipated. It's a strenuous activi-ty. I'm so very proud of herteachers and parents for help-ing her. It's a wonderful expe-rience for her. We're veryproud of her for the system.We look for big things fromAnna in the future."Anna's science teacher,

Janika Harris, said sheworked hard on her project."She worked on it from the

time she was given the pro-ject,” Harris said. "She makesdoll clothes for her dolls. Herproject was about the bestdyes for those clothes so thatthey can last a long time andbe safe for her. Her mom canmake her the dye and (Anna)can use them. It's a very in-teresting project."Harris was impressed with

the other projects."All of the projects were

great," she said. "I was espe-cially proud of the projectsthat came from NWLE. Wetook 14 projects and we had11 first place ribbons, one sec-ond place ribbon and twothird place ribbons. All of thekids worked really hard andreally got into the scientificmethod and process. Keepingthose log books took a lot ofwork. A lot of thanks goes tothe parents who helped themget all of their materials andmake those boards look reallynice."Anna's project was called

To Dye or Not to Dye."I've always liked doing

arts and crafts and I wantedto find a way to make my owndyes that are safe and thatchildren can use," Anna said."So I did this project aboutmaking natural dyes and seewhich colors looked best. … Ittook a long time. I'm glad it'sdone."Melissa said Anna's science

fair project was an attempt totap in to the fact that sheloves art and science. Annamade homemade dyes usingplant pigment. She re-searched and discovered therewere four basic plant pigmenttypes. Belatain, Anthocyanin,Caroteniod and Chlorophyll.She picked one fruit and onevegetable from each of thefour groups to conduct experi-ments.Anna dyed cloth with each,

then she washed the cloth.She discovered which plantpigment type dyed and re-tained the color best. Shewants to further learn tomake her own paints fromplant pigments.Her sister, Cate (who is in

the second grade) also helpedwith the project."Everybody in the family

played a part," Melissa said."There was plenty for every-

body to do."She may take her project

and add on to it for next year,Melissa said."She's thinking about tak-

ing something from this yearand adding more to it nextyear," she said. "We may see itagain next year is some ver-sion."Harris said events like the

science fair are important forthe students to show otherstheir ideas."They don't know how to

make their ideas into some-thing that they can present tothe world," she said.

DENVER (AP) — The DenverNuggets were up so big and com-fortably that not even a late run— an impressive late run at that— could make any sort of differ-ence.

Well, except raise the anxietylevel of their interim coach, ofcourse.

Danilo Gallinari had 23 pointsand Will Barton added 16, help-ing the Nuggets hang on to beatEastern Conference-leadingAtlanta 115-102 on Wednesdaynight for their eighth straighthome win over the Hawks.

This game was such a rout bythe end of the third quarter thatAtlanta coach Mike Budenholzerinserted his bench players. TheHawks went on a 24-1 run mid-way through the fourth quarterto make the score respectableafter trailing by 32 with 7:32remaining.

Even after the game, interimNuggets coach Melvin Hunt wasstill jittery after watching thatbig lead almost evaporate.

"That's a real good team overthere," Hunt said. "They nevergive in."

The Nuggets are playing withmore emotion and energy underHunt, who's 4-2 since stepping inafter Brian Shaw was fired. Theteam has scored 100 or morepoints in every game under Hunt.This wasn't exactly the wayAtlanta wanted to begin a six-game road swing. Although theHawks have one of the NBA's toproad marks, they've dropped twoin a row away from home tostruggling teams. They also fell inPhiladelphia last weekend.

"We're a good team, but noteam in this league is goodenough to look at another per-son's jersey, look at another per-son's record and come out andplay like that," said DeMarreCarroll, whose team hasn't wonin the Mile High City since Dec. 6,2006. "We got down big. Thoughtwe could come back, like we nor-mally do. They kept their foot onthe pedal."

ATLANTA (AP) — The AtlantaFalcons added depth at widereceiver on Wednesday by sign-ing free agent LeonardHankerson, who fought two seri-ous injuries in his four seasonswith the Washington Redskins.

Hankerson hurt his left kneelate in the 2013 season and dueto the extended recovery playedin only one game in 2014.

The Falcons needed depthbehind starting receivers JulioJones and Roddy White afterreleasing Harry Douglas, who hasagreed to terms with theTennessee Titans.

Hankerson (6-2, 211) has 81career catches for 1,081 yards in31 games, including 14 starts. Heset career highs with 38 catchesfor 543 yards and three touch-

downs in 2012. He had 30 catch-es for 375 yards and three touch-downs in 10 games in 2013.Hankerson's signing comes oneday after the team signed free-agent linebackers Brooks Reedand Justin Durant and offensivelineman Mike Person.

Hankerson issued a statementon his Twitter feed in which hethanked the Redskins and team

owner Dan Snyder."I definitely would like to

thank @Redskins and Dan foreverything, it's been a pleasure,I've grown and learned a lotthere," Hankerson said.

Hankerson was Washington'sNo. 2 receiver when he hurt hisknee in 2013. It marked the sec-ond time in three years his sea-son was ended by an injury. He

tore the labrum in his right hipand played in only four games asa rookie in 2011.

The Falcons are pursuing free-agent defensive ends DerrickMorgan and Adrian Clayborn.

Morgan was a first-round pickfrom Georgia Tech in 2010. Heled the Titans with 6 1/2 sacks in2014, matching his career high.He has had at least 6 sacks in

three straight seasons and hasplayed at least 15 games in fourstraight years.

Clayborn played only onegame with Tampa Bay last seasondue to a torn bicep. Whenhealthy, he had a combined 13sacks in 2011 and 2013.

The Falcons tied for 30th inthe league with only 22 sacks lastseason.
