WAR from 1A
ture. His travels in Iraq had
previously taken him to Tikrit,
the captured leader’s home
region.
His trip home was his first
return to Forsyth County since
last December. His family
moved here while he was in
middle school and he attended
South Forsyth Middle and
High schools before joining
the Army.
When he came home on
Dec. 9, the young soldier sur
prised his mother, Carol
Holley, by showing up unan
nounced at the dental office in
Alpharetta where she works as
a dental assistant.
“It was the best surprise
I’ve ever gotten,” said Carol
Holley. “I had no idea he was
coming. He showed up at my
office and I almost had a heart
attack. Everyone at the office
was crying.”
The family then left for an
all-American meal at the
Varsity in Alpharetta.
“It’s (being away from
home) not easy to get used to,”
he said.
His daughter, Morgan, was
a month old when he joined
the Army. His deployment for
training and active duty has
kept him away from her for all
but six weeks of her life.
“I was glad she recognized
me,” he said.
The soldier and his wife
are separated. The bubbly tod
dler, now 2 years old, spent
time with her father at the
home of his mother and step
father in north Forsyth.
The young soldier is not
thrilled with the prospects of
returning for an additional
assignment in Iraq, but under
stands that he has no choice in
the matter. He clearly looks
forward to returning to
Caserma Ederle, the Army
post in Vicenza, Italy, where
CHICKEN from 1A
yellow line of a road near the
processing plant.
The women stopped their
passenger van and Campbell,
who grew up on a farm, got
out and picked up the bird.
Roth drove her mom and the
chicken back to the family’s
Cumming restaurant, Country
Gourmet.
At the restaurant,
Campbell and Roth placed the
cold, lethargic bird in a plastic
box lined with newspaper.
They fed the chicken scram
bled eggs, of all things, and
gave it a bowl of water.
Later in the day, the chick
en was taken to Dr. Esbeck at
Sawnee Animal Clinic.
Despite the bird’s feeble
appearance, Esbeck said it was
not sick and survived the jump
from the truck and ensuing
coldness of the morning.
However, Esbeck said he
could not find a home for the
chicken so he had to euthanize
it.
Most of the chickens who
come to his practice live to see
another day.

resilient,” Esbeck said.
It’s difficult to assess the
health of a chicken by its
appearance because the birds
never want to exhibit weak
ness, he said. Covering up an
illness is a trait left over from
the animal’s roots in the wild,
he added.
Once a chicken begins to
really look bad, “they can be
hard to bring back,” Esbeck
said.
Oftentimes, chicken pro
cessing companies assume a
certain percentage of birds
will die in transport, said Dan
Shannon, a campaign coordi
nator at People for the Ethical
Treatment of Animals, a
Norfolk, Va.-based nonprofit
organization.
“That’s just a given and
factored into the overhead.” he
said. “They just assume

Gibby joined the Army on
Aug. 27, 2001. Just 15 days
later, the country suffered the
attack of terrorists on the
of birds.”
Companies pass the cost
on to the consumer at the
supermarket, he said.
Johnny Mcßrayer, the
human resources manager at
the Tyson Foods complex in
Cumming, declined to discuss
the subject of escaped chick
ens.
But he did say that he’d
never heard of any birds
falling out of the delivery
trucks. He also noted that the
way the birds are placed in the
containers should prevent any
accidents.
“There should not be any
reason for them to fall out,” he
said.

have found birds near the

“I don’t know that any of

heard of any problem with
chickens running to escape

“No one’s called me in ref
