DEAR ABBY: My wife,"Barb," and I have beenmarried for 21 years, andlike any married couple,we've had our ups anddowns. We recently visitedmy mom, a widow in her80s. Barb caught a coldwhile we were there andneeded to stay in bed whileMom and I visited family.

I noticed Mom was let-ting the cleanliness of herbathroom go, but Barb and Inever discussed it. When wegot home, our good neighborfriends told me that Barbhad texted them a photo ofMom's bathroom while wewere away. I was shockedand embarrassed. I feel likemy wife was talking aboutme and my family behindmy back. Barb insisted shewas just poking fun at thesituation. If that was thecase, I should have been in-volved in the "fun."

This isn't the first timesomething like this hashappened. I feel like mytrust and friendship have

been violated. Am I overre-acting? -- LEFT OUT IN IN-DIANA

DEAR LEFT OUT: Be-cause this isn't the firsttime your wife has done

something like this, and Ipresume you have let herknow how you felt about it,I don't think you're overre-acting.

Talk to your mother tosee if there's a reason she'sunable to keep up with herhousework. She may needto be evaluated by her doc-tor to make sure she's OK.If something is wrong withher, it is not the least bit"funny." In fact, for yourwife to subject your motherto ridicule is hostile. It'stime to find out what's atthe root of your wife's an-tics.

Ridicule of mother-in-lawis not a laughing matter

Scoreboard Company, thefamily business. We decidedthat one of us would commuteat that time, and it wasn't go-ing to be me. We moved toDublin and he's been goingback and forth ever since.

TCH: What are your hob-bies?

McMichael: I'm very in-volved in the community. I'vedone a lot of civic work. I'vebeen involved with the DublinService League and I'm in-volved with my church. I'm aKnight Owl, a member of oneof Kelly Knight's oldestsinging groups. We're the old-est and wisest, as we like torefer to ourselves. Of courseI'm an avid Georgia Bulldogfan. My whole family is. Wehave two daughters who wewere lucky enough to raisehere in Dublin.

TCH: How long have youbeen a part of the KnightOwls?

McMichael: We are in ourthird year and I do some ofthe choreography that goeswith our singing. We have areally good time. It's a greatgroup of women.

TCH: What do you likeabout doing the choreogra-phy?

McMichael: We don'twant to embarrass our chil-dren, but we want folks toknow we still have somemoves. We have sang the Na-tional Anthem at GeorgiaSouthern (and recently) at theGeorgia Lady Bulldogs bas-ketball game. We have a bigtime doing that. We do Kelly'sReviews and other meetings.

TCH: What else have youdone?

McMichael: We owned aladies clothing store in theDublin Mall for a couple ofyears and then I was em-ployed at Trinity ChristianSchool as director of develop-ment. Now, I'm a personalstylist with a ladies clothingcompany. I do trunk show andpersonal appointments withCABI. I was also the chair-man of the Dublin-LaurensJunior Miss Program. I wasinvolved with that for wellover 20 years. Now it's calledthe Distinguished YoungWomen. Kelly and I foundedthat program and brought ithere. We've provided a lot ofopportunities, life skills andscholarship money to a lot ofyoung women throughout ourcommunity. We are veryproud of that.

TCH: Now you are about toenter a busy, busy month. Youare the Chairman of the 2015St. Patrick's Festival - the50th anniversary.

McMichael: We are play-ing on a lot of things we'vedone in the past. We are alsoenhancing some things andbringing some events backwhile implementing some newthings. We are really excitedabout everything that wehave going on this year.

TCH: You've been on theSt. Patrick's Festival commit-tee before?

McMichael: Yes. I was theco-vice chair and this year I'mlucky enough to be the chair-man. It's really been exciting.I've truly, truly been blessedbecause it's a wonderful com-mittee of volunteers. This isone of the only festivals com-pletely run by volunteers.Everybody who is involved,especially on the committee,gives up a lot of time to makethis what it is and what it hasbecome.

TCH: When did you takeover as the General Chairper-son?

McMichael: I actuallytook over back in April. Once

we get done with March, andit's over, are wheels are spin-ning and we start makingplans for next year. Of coursethe vice-chair usually movesup to chair the event. There isa lot of collaborating duringthe previous year. We knewduring the 49th year that wewould have a lot on our platefor the 50th. Next year I'llserve as past chair.

TCH: Has it been stress-ful?

McMichael: I'm trying tothink of the best word to de-scribe it. It's not stressful be-cause we have so many greatpeople that you know are go-ing to take care of things andI've really delegated this year.It's busy because it's alwayssomething. We began think-ing about it in April. Duringthe summer and fall when wewere getting all of our infor-mation together as far asevents, bands lined up andvenues secured. You have towork that far in advance tomake it happen. Now that it's(time) the community is real-izing it's here. We realize it'shere. It's like ready, set, go.

TCH: Do you have a fa-vorite event?

McMichael: Oh wow, it'sreally hard to have a favoriteone. I was really excited aboutthe Awards Banquet this year.Many people turnout for thatand a lot of good people wererecognized. We're bringingthe Grand Ball back (this Fri-day). I think that will be ex-citing for a lot of people. Wehope people will come and cel-ebrate 50 years. The GrandMarshals for the parade willbe the former chairpersons ofthe St. Patrick's Festivals.John Hambrick, the chairmanof our third festival, is plan-ning to come back and attend.He's our oldest survivingchairman. I hope many pastchairmen will participate.

TCH: You will be at manyevents.

McMichael: I am, but I'mgoing to have a lot of helpfrom some past chairmen.There are so many events allnear one time. I can't be attwo places at one time.

Lisa 4 vehicle wreck on I-16 sends five to hospitalBy PAYTON TOWNS IIIFive people were sent to

Middle Georgia hospitals afterbeing involved in a four-vehi-cle wreck on I-16 Friday after-noon.According to a Georgia

(right) Officials work to clear the scene of the accident.

Ronald Reagan used to sayof liberals “The problem isn’twhat they believe. It’s just thatso much of what they believeisn’t true.” It’s time the partyof Reagan examine what theybelieve about their own statebudget.

The Joint House-SenateCommittee on TransportationFunding that met eight timespublicly this summer and fallthroughout the state includeboth House and SenateAppropriations Chairmen for areason. They are the electedofficials that best understandhow Georgia spends its currentfunds, where current andfuture needs are, and where, ifpossible, cuts can be made.

They’ve been quite adept atcuts. It’s been the mantrasince the financial crash. Buttruth be told, most state agen-cies have had mandatoryacross the board spendingreductions off and on since theMiller administration. Thedays of billion dollar supple-mental budgets have been gonefor a decade. Georgia is run-ning as a relatively lean state.

Yet, if you talk to many GOPlegislators and most activists,they will swear to you that ourbudget is fat, and there ismuch that can and should becut to fund our priorities. They

will swear this up until you askthem to find the fat for you -and you insist they be specific.

And thus it is dishearteningin the wake of the transporta-tion bill that passed the Housethat many legislators arelamenting a change in the col-lection of gas taxes that willlikely cost Georgia drivers anextra $5 per month. Theyclaim that others “didn’t eventry to find the money else-where”. These are generallyfolks that didn’t ever attend astudy committee meeting, norhave ever asked this questionof House Budget ChairmanTerry England or SenateChairman Jack Hill.

This brings us back to hav-ing strong beliefs but lackingfacts and data to back supposi-tions. When looking at ourbudget, the way to determine ifwe’re in fact fat or lean wouldbe to look at some comparisonsof other states. Specifically, weneed to understand howGeorgia’s spending habits com-pare to our southern, conserva-tively governed regional neigh-bors.

According to a comparisonby Ballotpedia using 2013 fig-ures, Georgia’s governmentspending per capita, usingstate tax dollars and stateadministered federal funds, is

$4,111 per person. The onlystate in the region lower thanus is Florida. Given the ageskew of Florida’s populationwhich affects both lower thanaverage student populationsand a medical industry sup-ported predominantly with fed-eral Medicare dollars, it wouldbe hard for Georgia to targetFlorida as a similar state.

When you look at our otherneighbors, Georgia’s spendingper capital looks down rightlean. South Carolina is 14 per-cent higher per capita.Tennessee is 18 percent,Alabama is 21 percent, andperhaps our most similarneighbor, North Carolinaspends 27 percent more than

Georgia for each of its resi-dents. NC is not the highest,but at the midpoint of SouthEastern states, with Virginia(31percent), Louisiana (56 per-cent), Mississippi (58 percent)and Arkansas (77 percent)even higher.

Let’s say that another way.North Carolina, a similar statewith almost the same popula-tion that Georgia competeswith on a regular basis, spendsten billion dollars more thanGeorgia on government ser-vices every year.

Georgia and North Carolinaeach have roughly 10 millionresidents. North Carolina’sgovernment spends ten billiondollars more.

The point here isn’t to saythat Georgia needs to raisespending ten billion dollars.The point is that when a needis clearly established, thosewho insist that there is “fat”somewhere in the budget havea responsibility to say exactlywhere it is. Because the met-rics say that if Georgia is fat,our conservatively governedneighbors are obscenely obese.

Georgia spends 5.2 percentof its budget on transportation.North Carolina spends 9.9 per-cent. So on a budget that isalready per capita smallerthan most of those in ourregion, Georgia prioritizestransportation infrastructureat roughly half of what ourmost similar neighbor statedoes.

For those that believe ourspending disproportionatelygoes to social programs, youshould note that .1percent ofour budget goes to public assis-tance and 21.5percent goes toMedicaid. Each of those per-centages are the lowest of anystate contiguous to Georgia.

Many are saying that theyagree the need is there. Now itis time to understand that thisneed must be funded.Otherwise those saying this isa need are relating transporta-tion to a wish list item that will

only receive funding when it’sconvenient at a later date.

Those who continue to offernebulous suggestions to cut thebudget elsewhere are the onesthat must bear the responsibil-ity to be very specific as towhere these cuts must comefrom. Because an objectiveanalysis of Georgia’s spendingrelative to those of our conserv-ative neighbor states showsthat we’re already much leanerin our spending than they are.

Georgia Republicans havebeen in charge of Georgia’sGovernor’s Mansion andLegislature for over a decadenow. Whether an elected offi-cial or party activist, knowingin your heart that there is fatin Georgia’s budget should nolonger be an accepted premisenor talking point. Unlesssomeone is willing to specifical-ly identify the largess, it istime to demand that the focusshift to identifying the budgetrealities we face and find themost appropriate method tofund them.

Our Take:

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

It is with regret I tell youour intrepid public servantsin the legislature have scut-tled a bill that would havelowered the age of eligibilityto serve as a member of theHouse of Representatives to18 years of age and to 21 inthe state Senate.

I don’t think there wasmuch enthusiasm for themeasure from those betweenthe ages of 18 and 21, anyway.Their concern was that itwould hurt their image to beseen associating with a bunchof old people who are alwaysraising money from special-interest groups while sayingit won’t affect how they vote.

I called my colleague,Junior E. Lee, general man-ager of the YarbroughWorldwide Media and PestControl Co., located inGreater Garfield, to get histhoughts. Junior is not only acertified pest control profes-sional, he is also widelyrespected for his political acu-ity.

It should come as no sur-prise that Junior E. Leeserves as a mentor to and arole model for young peoplebetween the ages of 18 and 21who would like one day tobecome political commenta-tors as well as pest controlprofessionals. Who better toemulate than Junior? In addi-tion to teaching these eageraspirants the fine points ofspraying for chiggers, JuniorE. Lee has found time to raisetheir political awareness. The

man never ceases to amazeme.

I asked him what wereyoung people’s reactions tolegislators not wanting tolower the age limit? He saidone texted him to say,“WWNC! IMNSHO!” and thatthe whole idea was “7K.”Junior said he asked some ofhis friends in the legislatureif they knew what thatmeant.

One thought it was short-hand for “I’d Rather Listen ToLawrence Welk Play TheAccordion Than Hang AroundA Bunch Of Politicians.”Another said “7K” probablywas the amount of dollars($7,000) a lizard-loafered lob-byist would commit to thekid’s political campaign if heor she ran for the legislatureand that the young personwould never, ever have to votefor any legislation of interestto the lobbyist. The legislatorsays that proves lobbyistsreally don’t have that muchinfluence.

He said he had remindedhis constituents of that factrecently after it had beenreported he had gotten a fathonorarium for making athree-minute keynote addressto a lobbyist’s clients atHilton Head and then playinggolf for four days. “Work.Work. Work,” the legislatortold Junior. “This job is noth-ing but work.”

When Junior passed thatalong, he got a number of textmessages in return, saying

“CSG!” He believes that wasmeant as sarcasm.

Sen. Ben Watson, R-Savannah, was quoted as say-ing young men under the ageof 23 do not have the “frontallobe development” to be ableto serve in the legislature.The senator is a medical doc-tor, which one must presumegives him the expertise toassess the lack of frontal lobedevelopment in young men ascompared with the lobes —front and back — of his col-leagues over the age of 23 whoraise money from specialinterest groups while sayingit won’t affect how they vote.

When told what the sena-tor said, a number of youngpeople texted back: “YGT-BKM! DYNWUTB!” While Iam not a doctor, I knowenough about undevelopedfrontal lobes — yes, I have

one — to discern the 18 to 21crowd disagrees with Watson.I do, too.

I reminded Junior it wasn’ta bunch of kids who thoughtwe needed to be locked-and-loaded in our houses of wor-ship and our honky-tonks andmost everywhere else exceptunder the Gold Dome, or whohad decided speed limits onour interstates are a uselessimpediment to that segmentof the motoring public thatprefers to drive at the speedof sound, or that ...

Junior then interruptedme to say while he agreedwith everything I was saying,he needed to wrap this con-versation up. Aunt Pokie overin Summertown had called tosay she has ants in her draw-ers. I thought it best not toask any questions. There is alot I don’t know about the pestcontrol game.

Junior E. Lee concluded bytelling me the bottom line issimple. If legislators think abunch of kids with undevel-oped frontal lobes are anxiousto become politicians, theyare mistaken. Young peopletell him they have “BTTD.”

I’m not sure what thatmeans, but it sounds serious.LOL.

Georgia’s budget fat more myth than reality

Anyone who has lived in and aroundLaurens County for any portion of thepast five decades is familiar with theterm “Super Saturday.”It is the culmination of our month-

long St. Patrick’s celebration. And, inthe case of this year’s festival, it marks50 years of providing family-friendlyentertainment for locals and visitors.With thousands expected to pass

through Dublin and Laurens Countythis week, we should dust off our hostand hostess hats and prepare to wel-come these visitors with warm heartsand open arms.Keeping an upbeat and positive spir-

it will showcase all that sets our com-munity apart from the rest of theworld.And, in the process, our collective

positive attitude could create a cyclicalnature where visitors become neigh-bors and neighbors become friends.Let’s try to make this entire week

‘Super’ and see what a difference somepositivity can make on our St. Patrick’sfestival and the community.

CLAYTON, Mo. (AP) —Authorities said a mancharged in the shooting of twopolice officers last week dur-ing a demonstration outsidethe Ferguson Police Depart-ment had attended theprotest earlier that night, al-though multiple activists saidhe wasn't a consistent fixturein their tight-knit group.

St. Louis County Prosecu-tor Robert McCulloch saidSunday in announcing thecharges that 20-year-old sus-pect Jeffrey Williams told au-thorities he was firing atsomeone with whom he was

in a dispute."We're not sure we com-

pletely buy that part of it,"McCulloch said, adding thatthere might have been otherpeople in a vehicle Williamsis accused of firing from.

Williams is charged withtwo counts of first-degree as-sault, one count of firing aweapon from a vehicle andthree counts of armed crimi-nal action. McCulloch saidthe investigation is ongoing.

The police officers wereshot early Thursday as a late-night demonstration began tobreak up following the resig-

nation of Ferguson PoliceChief Tom Jackson in thewake of a Justice Departmentreport that found widespreadracial bias in the police de-partment.

"He was out there earlierthat evening as part of thedemonstration," McCullochsaid of Williams.

DUBLIN COURIER -HERALD

MARCH 15, 1965

FIRST MEETING OFBOARD OF EDUCATIONThe first meeting of the

new Dublin-Laurens Boardof Education that was re-cently elected will be held onWednesday. The meeting ofthe newly elected Board willbe called by Superior CourtJudge Harold E. Ward andwill be held in the new Lau-rens County Library at 2:00p.m. Definite plans for themeeting will be announcedon Monday when JudgeWard is slated to issue an or-der calling the Board togeth-er for organizational purpos-es.The Act that created the

Board under the provisionsof the ConstitutionalAmendment passed last No-vember provides that themembers elected to theBoard will meet and drawlots for six terms on theBoard. Only Dr. John A.Bell, Jr. is assured of a five-year term since an act pro-vides that the three mem-bers from the city and threefrom the county shall drawlots for three four-and five-year terms. Thus one fromthe city and one from thecounty will have three-yearterms, one each will havefour -year terms, and oneeach will have five-yearterms along with Dr. Bell.One of the first acts of the

new Board will be to orga-nize by electing a chairman,a vice chairman, and a secre-tary, who will be the Super-intendent of Schools. Goinginto the meeting to be heldWednesday, as now planned,will be two Chairmen ofBoards of Education, Dr.Bell of the Dublin CityBoard and Troy Manning ofthe present Laurens CountyBoard of Education. Onemight hazard a guess thatthey will end up as chairmanand vice chairman of thenew Board.The Act passed by the

General Assembly providesthat the Superintendent ofSchools shall serve as Secre-tary of the Board and thatthe new Board is empoweredto enter immediately intocontracts with a Superinten-dent, contracts with teach-ers and coaches, and do allthat is necessary for the op-erations of the schools afterJuly 1st, when they actuallyassume control of the consol-idated systems. It is any-one's guess as to what thenew Board will do about thecombination Secretary-Su-perintendent place.Although a challenge of

the vote on the Constitution-al Amendment authorizingthe merger of the two schoolsystems is pending beforethe Georgia Supreme Courtfor hearing in April, theBoard will go ahead withplans for teacher contractsand other operational activi-ties for the schools' nextterm as provided for in theAct.The consensus is that if

the Georgia Supreme Courtshould reverse the ruling ofJudge Ward on the chal-lenge of the ConstitutionalAmendment vote, the pre-sent two school boards, theDublin City Board and theLaurens County Board, willcontinue their operations ofthe divided school systems.The calling of the Board

together by Judge Wardcame when it became appar-ent that there was no one ac-tually empowered to call theBoard together. Since it wasJudge Ward that had

brought the matter of schoolconsolidation before the1963 Grand Jury and hadappointed the committee tostudy the consolidations pro-posal, he will issue the orderon Monday calling the Boardtogether. He will probablyalso dismiss the committeethat he had appointed afterthanking them for their ac-tivities in helping in the con-solidation proposal and ask-ing them for their individualsupport in making the con-solidation as rapid and easyas possible.Members of the new

Dublin-Laurens SchoolBoard that were elected onWednesday are Dr. John A.Bell, Jr. for the county-at-large; McGrath Keen for theDublin Post 1; Tommy Pat-terson for the Dublin Post 2;Don Lamb for the DublinPost 3; Troy Manning forFirst Road District; HughGrant for the Second RoadDistrict; and Charles Foun-tain for the Third Road Dis-trict.In the contested races,

Dr. Bell led the ticket whenhe received 6,770 votes toLucius Bacote's 1,403 for theCounty-at-Large post. Theclosest race in the three thatwere contested was betweenEugene Heckle and CharlesH. Fountain in the ThirdDistrict. Fountain received4,242 votes with Heckle re-ceiving 3,616. In the othercontested race, Troy Man-ning received 5,661 toHarold Henderson's 2,397.Many voters apparently

did not mark those who wereunopposed in the races forDublin's Post 1,2, and 3 andthe Second Road Districtpost since the total votestabulated were considerablybelow the total number ofvotes cast. The totals gaveMcGrath Keen 6,479, Tom-my Patterson 6,113, DonLamb 6,479 and Hugh Grant5,661.The Election Code, which

requires that blocks bemarked rather than namesscratched, was apparentlyconfusing to many voters. Ablock left blank by an unop-posed candidate did notcount. A number of voteswere voided over the countybecause voters scratchednames on the ballot - some-thing that was specificallyforbidden in the instructionson the ballot.

BODY IS DIS-IN-TERRED HERE ON OR-DERS FROM MUSCOGEEOFFICIALS

The body of a woman whowas interred here on March5th was disinterred hereyesterday, an autopsy per-formed, the cause of deathdetermined, and then re-in-terred. The body was ex-umed on orders that camefrom Musogeee County, andthe autopsy was performedby a medical examiner fromthat county.The woman was Mrs.

Fanny Tingle Lavender, whodied in Columbus, Georgia,on March 4th and wasburied in Blue Water Ceme-tery on March 5th.There was no information

available as to why the bodywas disinterred. However,the COLUMBUS LEDGER-ENQUIRER stated that thedeath certificate for Mrs.Lavender had been signedby her brother, Dr. J.B. Tin-gle, a chiropractor. TheColumbus newspaper fur-ther stated that Dr. Tinglehad signed the death certifi-cate of his mother in 1927and of his father in 1941 aswell as of another sister in1963. His signing of thedeath certificates broughtthis comment from Dr. Tin-gle, "What are you going todo when members of yourfamily won't have anyonetreat them except you?"He is reported as saying

that Mrs. Lavender wouldnot have a physician attendher and that the cause of herdeath given on the deathcertificate was a heart at-tack, and the medical exam-iner yesterday reported thesame cause after his autop-sy, according to LaurensCounty Coroner J.B. Daniel.Muscogee Coroner James

Paulk came to Dublin withthe medial examiner forMuscogee County for the ex-huming and the examina-tion. The Laurens CountyCoroner was also called inbefore the body was disin-terred.The executive editor of

the COLUMBUS LEDGER -ENQUIRER stated that thenewspaper's interest cen-tered about the signing ofthe death certificate by achiropractor rather than bya medical doctor or os-teopath.The Editor, EdgeReid, said that Dr. Tingleclaimed that under a Geor-gia law, a chiropractor wasauthorized to sign death cer-tificates. However, Reidsaid that a Georgia lawpassed last year limits theones who can sign death cer-tificates to medical doctorsand osteopaths.

By RODNEY MANLEYSports EditorEast Laurens pounded out 11

hits while shutting downSwainsboro at the plate as theFalcons rolled to a 10-2 regionwin Friday night.

Starting pitcher Blake Toneytamed the Tigers for 5 2/3innings, striking out eight andallowing just two hits. Onoffense, eight different Falconshad hits, with Ethan Wood, JoshLampp and Colby Owens leadingthe way with two each.

“We played a lot better. Weplayed better defensively,” saidhead coach Gene Mulkey. “We hitthe ball better. We were moreaggressive at the plate. we’vebeen striking out way too much,leaving runners in scoring posi-tion. We didn’t leave a lot of run-ners out there tonight.”

The Falcons dominated thegame after overcoming a shakystart. In the top of the first, aleadoff single, hit batsman and a

misplayed drive to the outfieldput Swainsboro up 1-0 with run-ners at second and third with noouts. Toney, however, retired thenext three hitters to get out ofthe jam.

East Laurens roared backwith three runs in the bottom ofthe inning. With two outs, Owenssingled and Toney drew a walk.A passed ball moved the runnersover, and Owens then scored ona wild pitch. Toney came homeon an error, then Cavin Rotramelroped a single to right, puttingthe Falcons up 3-1.

The Falcons tacked on runs intheir next two turns at bat.Austin Scott hustled home onanother wild pitch, and an inninglater Wood scored Lampp with atwo-out hit to put East Laurensup 5-1.

After Toney retired the Tigersin order in the fourth, EastLaurens padded its lead withthree more runs. Scott stroked asingle to center to start the

inning, then advanced to secondbase on a hit-and-run groundoutand to third on a pitch in the dirt.Jimbo Johnson walked, then hus-tled from first to third on Owens’infield hit that drove in Scott.

Toney’s hustle down the lineon a grounder forced an errantthrow, and Owens raced in toscore all the way from first togive the Falcons a commanding8-1 lead.

“They made a lot of errors,and we took advantage of them,”said Mulkey. “I told their coachthey had the kind of night we’dbeen having.”

The Tigers scored anotherunearned run in the fifth inning.In the sixth, Toney struck out thefirst two hitters before walkingconsecutive batters. Mulkeycalled on his shortstop, Johnson,to close the game on the mound.

Johnson did not give up a hitin his one-plus innings of work.He finished the the game bystriking out the last two Tiger

hitters.“Blake Toney did an excep-

tional job,” said Mulkey. “JimboJohnson did an exceptional jobclosing it out.”

By JEREMY PAYNEThe Trinity Crusaders

returned home for baseballSaturday afternoon againstGatewood, and although theTrinity offense produced onlyfour hits for the third consecu-tive game, they came up withkey hits to take advantage ofseveral Gator miscues and cruiseto a 5-1 win.

On the mound, the Trinitystaff continued their collectiveoutstanding early season workas three pitchers combined tohold the Gators to only threehits.

The Crusaders drew firstblood in the home half of thefirst. Seth Morton doubled todeep left with two outs. WyattPayne battled back from an 0-2count and delivered an RBI sin-gle to right to give Trinity anearly 1-0 lead.

Gatewood tied the game inthe top of the third. LukeLeverett led off the inning with adouble off Trinity starter CamSoles. He later scored on agroundout by Tristan Fuller.

The Crusaders took the leadfor good in the fourth withoutgetting a hit. Morton was hit by apitch to lead off the inning andadvanced to second on a botchedpick-off attempt. He then got intoa rundown between second andthird on Payne's grounder to thethird baseman. However, Morton

was able to avoid the tag andboth runners were safe. A walkto Luke Price loaded the bases.Another walk to Tanner Grahamallowed Morton to break the tie,and Payne scored the second runof the inning when he ran homeon a wild pitch for a 3-1 lead.

The Crusaders didn't manageany runs in the fifth, but theinning was far from uneventful.With two outs and no one on,Morton was hit for the secondtime in the game. The homeplate umpire issued a warning toboth teams. After Payne's hard

grounder to short was mis-played, Price was hit by a pitch,prompting an immediate ejec-tion for the Gatewood pitcher.Gatewood's head coach emergedfrom the dugout to argue andappeared to make contact withthe umpire, leading to his ejec-tion also.

Trinity tacked on two insur-ance runs in the sixth whenMorton delivered a two-out,two-run single to left that scoredGraham and Ryland McCoy.

Soles picked up the win onthe mound by working fourinnings, allowing three hits anda run. He struck out four andwalked no one. Chase Autryallowed no hits and struck outtwo in his lone inning of work.Matt East got the save as heworked the final two framesallowing no hits, with one walkand two strikeouts.

At the plate, Morton led theoffense with two hits, two runsand two RBIs. Trinity had baserunners all afternoon thanks toGator pitchers hitting five bat-ters and walking four more. TheCrusaders are now 2-2 on theyoung season.

Trinity returns to actionMonday afternoon as they travelto Macon to face WindsorAcademy in a non-region game.They will open region play onTuesday, at home, versusFrederica.

defeated the Harlem Bulldogs 4-0 in GHSA Region 3AA baseballaction Friday night at BushPerry Field.

Dublin starting pitcherJackson Tipton was in total con-trol from start to finish, with a83-pitch, complete gameshutout, with 4 strikeouts, Heallowed only two base hits andone walk.

No Bulldog player advancedpast second base during thecontest.

“My catcher, Cole Mullis, dida great job behind the plate,”said Tipton. “We really workwell together. Coach (RustyWatters) has been telling me Ineed to throw my changeupmore when I pitch, and I thinkthat was my best pitch tonight. Ithought the defense behind mewas excellent throughout thegame.”

With a steady beat providedby members of the Irish benchbucket drum line, and chantsand cheers from all the Dublinplayers, the opportunisticFighting Irish scored three runsin the bottom of the first inningon only one basehit.

Leadoff batter K.J. Kinseydrew a walk and made it to thirdbase on two wild pitches by theBulldog pitcher. After HoldenBaisden walked. Kinsey scoredthe first run of the inning whenthe Harlem catcher threw downto second base in an attempt tothrrow out the stealing Baisden.With runners on first and third,Corey Mallette’s single platedthe second run for the Irish. ColeMullis’ one-out grounder toshort scored the final run of theinning.

Steady defensive play by theDublin defense was on displaythroughout the game.

In the first inning, the Irishcatcher Mullis pounced on abunt down the first base lineand threw out the Bulldog bat-ter. Dalton Rogers at third baseflashed good glove work, and apowerful arm, as he gunneddown three Harlem runnersheading to first base in the sec-

ond and sixth innings. Niceglove work by Cory Mallette wasshowcased in the sixth inningwhen he made back-to-backcatches on low throws to firstbase. Centerfielder and teamleader Kinsey made severalcatches to snuff out any thought

of a Harlem rally.“I love this team and my

teammates,” said Kinsey. “Thereis something special about thisyear’s team. We are all pullingfor one another, and everyoneon the team plays a part in ourwins.”

Dublin scored an insurancerun in the bottom half of thesixth inning. Zion Washington’stwo-out singled plated Mullisfor the final Irish run of theevening. Tipton struck out twoof the three Harlem batters hefaced in the top of the seventhinning to secure his masterfulshutout and Dublin’ s seventhwin of the season.

Coach Watters stated afterthe game,” This is the best wehave played all season. Harlemis a well coached team, and wehad to play heads-up baseball inorder to win.

“I thought Jackson pitched anexcellent game, and our defensereally backed him up through-out the contest. The players onthis team have been workinghard, trying to get better, sincewe started practice in February.I am proud of the way we playedas a team, and this was a trueteam victory.”

Dublin’s record is now 7-3,with a 2-1 region mark in theregion.

VALSPAR CHAMPIONSHIPPALM HARBOR, Fla. (AP) — Jordan

Spieth and his world-class short gamecame up big in a playoff victory Sundayat the Valspar Championship.

Spieth capped off an afternoon of back-nine charges, clutch putts and unseemlypar saves by making a 30-foot birdie putton the third extra hole of a playoff atInnisbrook to beat Ryder Cup teammatesPatrick Reed and Sean O'Hair. The 21-year-old Spieth won for the second timein his PGA Tour career and fourth timeworldwide to reach a career-high No. 6in the world.

Spieth was three shots behind with sixholes to play when he made two birdiesto catch a faltering Ryan Moore, andthen saved par on his final three holesfor a 2-under 69 to join the playoff. Andthese par saves were not what anyonewould call routine.

Hawks hold off Lakers, 91-86; lose Korver to broken nose

AVONDALE, Ariz. (AP) — When NASCAR headed west two weeksago, it seemed implausible that one driver could sweep the three-race swing. Three different style race tracks, teams worn downfrom travel and incredibly short turnaround times simply made ittoo daunting of a task.

Well, Kevin Harvick and his Rodney Childers-led Stewart-HaasRacing team are now one win away from a West Coast sweep.

Harvick won Sunday at Phoenix International Raceway, wherehe is simply unbeatable. Harvick has won five of the last six races atPhoenix, and a record seven overall.

Back-to-back wins at Las Vegas and Phoenix sends his team toFontana, California, needing just one more victory to run the table.

"When we left Vegas last week, he made a point to say, 'I want towin all three of these West Coast races,'" Childers said. "I think any-body that knows Kevin Harvick, if he puts his head to something,he's going to try to make it happen."

Harvick has been on a run not seen in NASCAR in at least 40years.

He has seven consecutive top-two finishes dating to last season,and he has won five of the last 10 races.

The last driver to score seven consecutive top-two finishes? Hallof Famer Richard Petty in 1975.

"When you said the Richard Petty part, that gives me chills,"Harvick said.

Harvick now has his eyes on California, and won't be reliving LasVegas or Phoenix as he approaches the final leg of this tour.

"You just have to forget about what you did," he said. "These guysare really good at just, you know, being happy about what we did lastweek, not talking about anything other than what we're going to doat California next week, how we prepare for that, not taking your eyeoff the prize, staying focused on what we need to do for California."

Harvick heads to Californialooking for West Coast sweep
