McKinney found not guilty on 6 counts in husband’s murder Teresa McKinney, 46, of Waynesville was found not guilty this week on all six counts in the shooting death of her husband Jeffrey McKin- ney Feb. 27 of last year. The Brantley County Sheriff ’s Office was called to the residence where the shooting occurred after a call to the 911 center saying a person had been shot in the head twice, ac- cording to the incident report. Deputy John Watson reported that Mrs. McKinney was at the scene talking on a cell phone when he arrived and she told him that the gun used in the shoot- ing was inside in the residence and the victim was in the backyard. Watson said he found the victim lying on his side and bleeding from the head but still breathing. Brantley Emergency Medical Service transported McKinney to a Glynn County medical center, but he could not be resuscitated. The case was handed over The Georgia Bureau of Investigation and Mrs. McKinney was charged and indicted on six counts in her husband’s death, including one count of malice murder as well as four counts of aggravated assault, one for each attempt to shoot her husband with a .12 gauge and .410 gauge shotgun and a 30-06 and .22 caliber rifle.

Ivan Parker to performThe exciting sounds of Southern Gospel Music will ring
loudly on Sunday, February 22 at the Kettle Creek Southern Congregational Church in Waycross as popular Southern Gos-pel recording artist, Ivan Parker, will be featured in a special concert event, which will begin at 6 p.m.
Ivan, who burst onto the Southern Gospel Music scene in 1982, has spent more than two and a half decades ministering in churches and arenas, sharing his testimony and rich vocal talents. Traveling with popular Southern Gospel quartet, Gold City, for more than 10 years, Ivan helped lead the group to national notoriety, achieving 19 Top Ten hits, including the 1993 Southern Gospel Song of the Year Dove Award from the Gospel Music Association. Since embarking on a solo career in 1994, Parker has continued to enjoy prominence and much success. Hit songs have flowed his way in bunches, as he has more than dozen solo recordings to his credits. In 2007, Ivan enjoyed his first Number One hit, as the moving ballad, “I Choose” peaked at the Number One position atop The Singing News Magazine’s Top 80 Radio Airplay Chart.
For the past decade he has been regularly featured on the highly successful Bill Gaither Homecoming Video and Concert Series, and in May of 2008 the Gaither Gospel Series released The Best Of Ivan Parker Collection in DVD and CD format. Inducted into the Alabama Music Hall of Fame in 1993, he has received more than 20 Soloist and Male Vocalist of the Year Awards from a variety of leading fan and trade publications, including the 2007 Fan Award for Male Vocalist of the Year by subscribers of The Singing News Magazine, Southern Gospel Music’s leading fan and trade publication, as well as the 2008 Favorite Soloist Fan Award.

JUST RIGHTOF ATLANTAByHERMANCAIN

“Bipartisan”: What Democrats want to do.“Partisan”: What Republicans want to do. For many years in Washington, the above
has been the practical definition of those words and not what you’ll find in the diction-ary. The idea that President Obama or anyone else among the Democratic leadership is the least bit interested in anything resembling Webster’s rendering of these terms is simply absurd.
But this bit of obvious fact apparently still escapes the deluded senators from Maine and Pennsylvania. Susan Collins, Olympia Snowe and Arlen Specter stabbed not only their party – of which they are clearly no longer any part in their hearts – but their country in the back when they agreed to vote with the Democrats and not filibuster the $820 billion “porkulus” bill.
This bill is purely Democratic pork to pay back their base and consolidate socialist power for years, if not decades, to come. They are scarcely attempting to conceal this fact and not even the most ignorant among us should be fooled in the slightest. But Sena-tors Specter, Collins, and Snowe – a veritable Three Stooges of politics – appear to lack the wisdom and maturity of their classic movie comedy namesakes. And what they have foisted upon the public will not be a laughing matter. (Though I confess I wouldn’t mind seeing them get poked in the eyes or clonked in the cranium with a big wooden mallet.)
So the next question is simply this: What to do with them? Can these three be allowed
to get away with such a betrayal? Moreover, if the Republican Party is so utterly spineless as to let this go without sanction, is there really any purpose to its continued existence? If these three can pull this garbage and suffer no consequence, the GOP will have advertised to the world that it truly stands for absolutely nothing. Their new motto can come from Kevin Bacon in Animal House: Thank you sir, may I have another? Thank you sir, may I have another?
The only purpose there ever was to allow-ing liberals like Collins, Snowe and Specter in the party in spite of all their wandering off the reservation was that they would still cast a few keys votes when numbers fell at im-portant dividing points – e.g. a Republican as majority leader when the Senate was divided 50-50; with the party when at or near 60-40 to stop or end filibusters.
Neither one of these reasons exists any-more. Democrats presently have 58 votes, and with this betrayal, these three have proven they can’t even be counted on to uphold filibusters. As such, they have demonstrated themselves to be completely expendable.
These senators have also proven them-selves to be liars by claiming a party label to which they have no legitimate right what-soever. And if they won’t be either honest or honorable enough to simply switch to the party with whom they already vote the overwhelming share of the time anyway, then they must be held accountable from without. They can lie to themselves all they want
about being “Republicans,” but that doesn’t mean anyone else should participate in their ridiculous delusions.
Nor should the GOP leadership put itself in the aforementioned fraternity hazing position by allowing itself to be repeatedly held hostage by these three on vote after vote, while they have the gall to swing the wooden paddle at the party’s posterior. The traitorous trio has walked out onto a thin tree limb, and it’s up to the party to saw it off behind them and make them fall.
Can any party get back into power by demonstrating more impotence and cow-ardice than MLB Commissioner Bud Selig toward steroids? And if they don’t even have the spine to deal harshly with renegade sena-tors, why should anyone believe they’ll be so toward terrorists?
Senators Specter, Collins and Snowe must therefore be expelled from the Repub-lican Senate caucus forthwith. The party’s credibility and ability to function as a cohe-sive unit is on the line, not to mention the future well-being of the nation.
The Democrats are hell-bent on ramming communism down America’s throat, and, while it may not last much longer, at this moment the Republican Party, such as it is, is still the last best vessel through which to mount the vociferous and vigorous opposi-tion needed. This cannot happen so long as there are those inside the gates aiding and abetting the enemy.

Card Check Lies When someone takes the time to actually
read the proposed “Card Check” legislation (H.R. 800), and cut through the intentionally confusing legalese, you will discover that many of the proponents of this legislation have lied. Review the following side-by-side comparison of the rules for unionizing a workplace now versus what the rules would look like if the legislation passes, and you make the call.
RULES NOW AND AFTER1. 30 percent cards signed to get a vote for certification election1. 50 percent +1 card signed get a union2. 45 days until secret ballot vote2. Union can demand recognition3. Campaign discussions pros and cons3. No chance for discussions; union views only4. Secret Ballot Vote4. 90 days of negotiations, if no deal, then 30 days of Federal Mediation5. If employees vote to be represented by union, then parties bargain in good faith5. If no agreement after 120 days, then nego-tiations go to arbitration6. Federal Mediation Service available to aid the parties6. Arbitrator decides contract terms for auto-matic two-year term7. Contract voted on by bargaining unit7. Employees not allowed to vote on contract
Currently, the employees vote directly twice, one of which is the secret ballot, and a third time through their bargaining repre-sentatives. Under the proposed rules, the employees would sign a card and then they are totally out of the process from that point on. Proponents think that’s “free choice,” and one spokesman appearing on Fox News said flatly that employees do not lose the secret ballot. Where is it on the right side of the comparison?
The next most often used ridiculous argu-ment for support of the legislation is that
“employers have become too powerful”. Yes, I actually heard Sen. Chuck Schumer say this when asked directly by a reporter. His evi-dence of this was the number of workers who have chosen to not unionize over the last 20 years. Maybe employers are doing something right, but that’s an impossibility in the minds of die-hard liberals.
Proponents have also alleged that employ-ers intimidate employees into not joining a union. That’s ridiculous, because most em-ployers work at trying to keep their workers happy for competitive reasons and because it enhances employee morale.
I personally know of many more stories of union intimidation of employees than instances of employer intimidation.
Proponents of this legislation are in denial of businesses that have left this country or been forced to shut down because of unreasonable union demands. The union bosses do well, because they move on to the next business to put the squeeze on and col-lect union dues, while thousands of workers are unemployed. Ask the people who used to work for Eastern Airlines, or the workers who have been the casualties of closed auto-mobile plants.
Workers have every right to unionize if they choose to do so, but it is not right to establish rules that expand opportunities for union intimidation, take away their right to a secret ballot and eliminate workers’ right to even vote on the final contract.
Employers have some rights also. They have the right to simply shut the doors and let the union bosses figure out how to feed people’s families.

Bunko JunkieIt’s time I came clean about something:
I’m a bunko junkie. Now before you jump up and start calling the authorities, let me just say it’s not as illegal as it sounds. For those of you who don’t know what bunko is, it’s a social game for 12 players (usually women), who roll three dice trying to land on a certain number while drinking cheap wine and gossiping about people who didn’t show up. (Note for the people in my bunko group: Ha! ha! - just kidding about that last part). The nice thing about bunko is that you need to rely more on luck than any real skill, and the biggest challenge is trying to keep score after the alcohol kicks in.
But the other nice thing about bunko is that each member takes a turn hosting it, which means you not only get to visit all sorts of houses, you also get to check out the decor inside. (Ah-em, to the people in my bunko group: Ha! ha! - just kidding). Oh, all right. So maybe I’m not TOTALLY kidding. Some circles may call this “snooping.” Other circles might call it “being nosey.” I prefer to call it “investigating.” WhatEVER.
So what does all this mean, you ask? For some of you more entertaining types, being a bunko hostess means that once a year you get to show off your best china and latest addition to your Ethan Allan living room collection.
For me, it means letting 11 other people into my house to see what kind of shoddy dump I’m running.
This leaves me with three choices:1. Cancel bunko during my hosting month.2. Rise to the occasion.3. Serve really, really strong margaritas.
Now while option one seems somewhat tempting, naturally it would only be a matter of time before someone caught on, and of course option number two is merely a laugh-able idea. So that leaves option three which, while not a particularly practical entertain-ing solution, has my vote.
Oh, sure, I could always take a more Gen Xer-type approach and simply not care. But obviously I DO care. Or else I wouldn’t be giv-ing it a first, second and third thought now.
So I did the only thing I could think of: I asked my resourceful friend Linda, also a veteran bunko player, what she’d do in this sort of situation. She said simply, “I always host bunko the month after someone who has worse furniture than me.”
Yes, a brilliant idea, for sure, except for the fact that no one NO ONE in my group has worse furniture than me.
Now in a perfect world I would say there was an uplifting turnaround where I cleaned the house, bought matching serving dishes and new furniture and everything was fine. And that’s what I did. Oh all right, I didn’t.
However another much easier idea oc-curred to me that I hadn’t thought of before: I’d simply find a new bunko group. One that doesn’t meet in homes, but rather in public places like, say, a nice Chinese restaurant or something.
Okay, so maybe this isn’t a particularly lofty plan, but you have to admit it does have its good points. Of course now the big prob-lem is finding one.
Or, hey, I could start my own group. All I have to do is find 11 people who want to play bunko, don’t cook, and have really bad furniture. Fat chance, you say? Maybe. But as they say in life and bunko, you never know unless you try.
Yay! We Matter!I’ll confess. I love to make fun of manage-
ment. The things they say. The way they look at people. The way they decorate their offices.
It’s a very bad habit. It should stop im-mediately.
But before it does, I just had to take a few shots at a recent report that came out about what top-level business leaders and business scholars came up with as their list of stretch goals for the future.
Before listing these challenges, though, they had a lengthy discussion on the impor-tance of management. Which in and of itself, is funny. I think next week, I’ll organize a group of my coworkers to sit around and talk about the importance of cubicle dwellers. Then, when I get home, I’ll email my fellow moms and talk about the importance of moms.
I’d also like other women named Cindy to candidly discuss with me the importance of women named Cindy. Surely our views would be unbiased and ultra-valuable to women less fortunate than us. Like those named Jenny or Shelly.
I almost wish these managers had taken a 12-night taxpayer-paid trip to Las Vegas instead.
A few gems about the importance of management – from management’s perspec-tive, mind you – include that it’s one of humankind’s most important social technolo-gies. Really? Because if you’d have asked me what was one of humankind’s most impor-tant social technologies, I probably would have said computers. Phones. Language.
They also “decided” that the manage-ment model of most of today’s large organiza-tions is seriously out of date. Yeah. I thought that 15 years ago when I entered the work force. So did most of Generation X. Who was invited to this meeting? Rumplestiltskin?
Another brilliant insight was that organi-zations should become more inspiring places to work. Now that’s deep. It definitely takes someone with real oak bookshelves and a window view to figure out that the rest of us brown-fabric-wall-folk might not be inspired on a minute-to-minute basis.
But back to the stretch goals. Where I work, we have a performance management tool called a “stretch goal,” which is essential-ly management’s way of not giving you extra
money in your annual bonus. They know the stretch goal should be called “the goal that’s unrealistic because of all the red tape here.”
PS. We aren’t idiots. We also know that’s what it should be called.
Throughout this list of stretch goals, some made sense. Others were stupid. Most contained phrases I am outright sick of, such as:
Process. They felt a process that reflects the interdependence of our stakeholders was needed. Newsflash: Meat is processed. You are over-processed. Your workforce is over-processed. If you give me another “process” to learn, I’m going to jump out of that win-dow in your office.
“Valuing divergence.” You can’t force people to value something. Either they do or they don’t. How about letting diverters make an important decision? Forgiving them if they make a mistake? “Value” is lip service. It’s why companies start letters with, “Dear valued customer.” In other words, “What was your name again?”
“Increase trust.” Apologies to Stephen Covey, but I’m tired of reading that business and trust go together. Or brands and trust. It’s taking things a little too far. I trust my mother. I trust people who’ve weathered a storm with me. Who’ve kept secrets. Who’ve proven over and over again that they deserve trust and won’t abuse it. I might like you. Enjoy your products. Recommend you. But I’ll keep trust to my inner circle – thank you very much.
“Retool.” I’ve no idea why this word is so popular in business. Clearly, these fogies don’t know that “tool” is now a popular expression for an idiot. So, every time I hear a business is retooling, I laugh. Really loud. You’re shifting the idiots? Great. That gives me hope.
To the group’s credit, they did call these stretch goals. And they know just as well as I do what that phrase means: They’ll never happen.
The only difference is these folks will still get their bonuses.

With the volatile economy americans are looking for ways to lower energy bills and extend natural resources now more than ever. Because petroleum is ingrained in our everyday lives — from transportation and tires to computers and every day goods such as diapers — many americans are interested in options that will help reduce dependence on foreign oil as well.
Here are a few helpful tips to lower energy bills and increase energy efficiency both at home and at the pump.
Don’t Warm Up Your Carthe best way to warm your vehicle is to drive it. idling gets you zero miles to the gallon. more than 30 seconds of idling on cold days wastes fuel and increases emissions.
Conduct Regular Car MaintenanceSimple things such as properly inflated tires can improve gas mileage by about 3 percent. replacing clogged air filters can improve gas mileage by as much as 10 percent. it also is important to use your car manufacturer’s recommended blend of motor oil. using a different oil can decrease gas mileage by 1 to 2 percent.
Fill Up With EthanolUsing gasoline with 10 percent ethanol is a key component to lowering high gas prices and stretching petroleum supplies. experts recently noted that ethanol has lowered gas prices by 15 percent, saving drivers some $70 billion at the pump this year alone. the production of just one barrel of ethanol replaces 1.2 barrels of petroleum. In total, the use of ethanol in gas and E85 will displace the equivalent of 52 large oil tankers filled with imported crude this year. the production of ethanol and the abundance of corn positions corn growers to lead america’s transition into a new era of energy based on alternatives to fossil and imported fuels. Check your owner’s manual to find out about ethanol usage.
Hybrid or Flex Fuel VehiclesThe interest in highly fuel efficient vehicles will not go away anytime soon. save money at the gas pump and help the environment by investing in a hybrid or a vehicle that runs on E85, an 85 percent ethanol blend.
Buy Locally Grown Foodssupport your local farmers by choosing local meat, milk and produce when possible to eliminate the costly transportation bill. Packaging, transportation, energy, advertising and profits account for 24 cents of the food dollar — energy costs have an even greater impact with high oil prices.
Turn Your Home OffAccording to the United States Department of Energy, 75 percent of the electricity used in the average home is consumed while products are off. unplug your appliances or use a power strip to cut off the electricity when you aren’t using it.
Screen Savers Don’t Savescreen savers do not reduce the energy your computer uses. instead, switch computers to sleep modes or simply turn off monitors to save energy.
Set Your Thermostat at 68For every degree you lower the thermostat in the 60 to 70 degree range, you’ll save 5 percent on your home’s heating costs. Set the temperature even lower at night to save an additional 5 to 20 percent.
Use Fluorescent Light BulbsReplace incandescent light bulbs with compact fluorescent light bulbs, which use 75 percent less energy than incandescent.
Open the ShadesOpen the shades or blinds and let the sun shine in during the day to naturally heat your home. Don’t forget to close them at night to help insulate against the cold.
Following these easy tips can help lower your energy bills and reduce our country’s dependence on foreign oil sources.
the use of alternative energy is becoming more common in everyday life. Here are some facts to consider about one alternative source, ethanol.
n america’s corn growers are harvesting the second largest crop in our nation’s history, which means there will be enough corn to meet demands for food, feed and fuel as well as enough to provide strong exports to other countries over the course of the year ahead.
n u.s. growers will have reserve estimated at more than 1 billion bushels for other needs, as identified.
n Ethanol production creates coproducts called distillers grains that are a highprotein source of animal feed and produces starch and corn oil that are used as common food ingredients.
n U.S. farmers harvest two kinds of corn, field corn and sweet corn. Field corn is used to produce ethanol. it typically isn’t eaten by humans in its raw form. sweet corn is eaten as a vegetable.
n Blending ethanol with gasoline extends gas reserves and lowers the price at the pump by about 15 percent, according to industry experts. Plus, ethanol was selected as an important replacement for Methyl tertbutyl ether (MTBE), a carcinogenic oxygenate in fuel.
n the environmental Protection agency concluded that ethanol reduces carbon monoxide emissions by as much as 25 percent, reducing ozone formation and the levels of greenhouse gases. ethanol is cleaner than gasoline and helps reduce global warming.
n Many studies have shown ethanol provides 20 to 50 percent more energy than it takes to produce. this includes the energy needed to plant, grow and harvest the corn as well as to manufacture and distribute the ethanol.
