ABOUT US AND OUR VALUES
The public has a right to know, and The
Times is dedicated to that principle and the
“continued enlightenment and freedom of
the people of North Georgia,” as engraved
outside our building.
The pursuit of truth is a fundamental
principle of journalism. But the truth is not
always apparent or known immediately.
A professional journalist’s role is to
report as completely and impartially
as possible verifiable facts so readers
can, based on their own knowledge and
experience, determine what they believe
to be the truth. That is often an ongoing
pursuit as journalists work to uncover
stories and follow those stories wherever
they lead, regardless of preconceived
ideas.
The news they report is separate from
the opinions shared in the pages of The
Times, which include those by its editorial
board, columnists, political cartoonists
and readers who submit letters to the
editor.
The presentation of both news and
opinions is designed to educate, entertain
and foster community conversation.
Readers are encouraged to challenge and
sharpen their perceptions based on that
presentation.
And we encourage readers to do the
same for us, offering news tips, criticisms
and questions.
As your honestly local news source, we
serve our readers first.

CELEBRITY REPORT
Singer Nelson to release
70th studio album in April
Willie Nelson will release his 70th studio
album, “First Rose of Spring,” on April 24,
just five days ahead of his 87th birthday.
It’s an 11-track collection that includes
two songs he wrote with the album’s pro
ducer, Buddy Cannon, and others written
by peers and admirers including Chris
Stapleton, Randy Houser, Billy Joe Shaver
and Toby Keith.
“First Rose of Spring” also features
his renditions of Johnny Paycheck’s 1977
country hit “I’m the Only Hell My Mama
Ever Raised” and the cabaret-pop clas
sic “Yesterday When I Was Young (Hier
Encore),” originally popularized in 1964
by French singer Charles Aznavour before
Roy Clark’s English-language version
became the country-singer guitarist’s big
gest hit in 1969.
The title track is the first release from
the album, and the video is out now. The
songs Nelson wrote with Cannon are titled
“Blue Star” and “Love Just Laughed.”
The new album also is the 14th from
Nelson since he signed with Sony Music’s
Legacy Recordings division in 2012. The
previous two, “Ride Me Back Home”
in 2019 and “My Way” a year earlier,
both earned Nelson additional Grammy
Awards, for country solo performance and
traditional pop solo album, respectively.
Singer Lambert when ill: ‘If I can’t
be great, I would rather wait’
When it comes to winning streaks,
Miranda Lambert has a track record worth
boasting about.
Each of the seven albums she has
released since her 2005 breakthrough,
“Kerosene,” entered the Billboard Top
Country Album Charts at No. 1, and one
of them, 2014’s “Platinum,” earned her
the second of her two Grammy Awards.
Named the Recording Industry Associa
tion of America’s 2019 Artist of the Year,
Lambert has also won 13 Country Music
Association awards and nine Academy of
Country Music Lemale Vocalist of the Year
awards.
But years of stardom and growing suc
cess don’t make an artist immune from the
same everyday pressures and maladies as
their fans or anyone else, especially when
it comes to getting ill. The key difference
is that when Lambert recently came down
with a very bad cold — midway through
her ongoing 2020 “Wildcard” winter tour
— it adversely impacted her band, her
road crew, her bank balance and thou
sands of fans.
“I recently had to cancel a few shows,
which is rare and absolutely breaks my
heart,” said the veteran vocal dynamo and
songwriter, who conducted this interview
via email after her doctor instructed her to
cancel her phone interviews.
“When your voice goes, there is no
backup,” Lambert continued. “It just stops
the train from rolling. I take pretty good
care of myself, especially while on tour,
because a lot rides on being healthy.”
But no amount of enthusiasm from her
fans can convince her to do a substandard
show, as the Texas-bred Lambert is quick
to acknowledge.
“If I can’t be great, I would rather wait
and come back when I can be,” she said.
“People spend hard-earned money to
come see us play, and I owe it to everyone
— including my band, crew and myself —
to show up and be 100 percent. Not every
night is perfect. And those shows where I
don’t feel like I delivered properly really
push me to try harder. The good news is
we play a lot, so there is always room for
improvement.”

HOROSCOPES BY HOLIDAY
ARIES (March 21 -April 19).
Grace is as difficult as any
other heavy lifting. No need
to pump iron or drag a tire to
get strong. It looks so much
cooler to do something ordi
nary with great strength and
poise.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20)
Fantastic gifts don’t always
come wrapped in pretty
paper with a bow on top. To
know you’re getting some
thing good even when the
indicators are mixed — this is
the art and talent you’ll have
today.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You
can turn a person off by meet
ing them in that headstrong
“I’m a lot and SO interested in
you” way. Since you’re being
bothered and feeling experi
mental, you may as well give
the strategy a try.
CANCER (June 22-July 22).
Questions can be kind or they
can be invasive. You know
what to answer and what to
avoid. More importantly, you
know what to ask to open
doors.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). The
minute you feel pressure, you
know that you have power.
Otherwise, why would they
have to assert themselves like
this? Step back. Accept pres
sure from no one.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).
Before you go to the store or
sign up for a class or throw
money at the situation,
consider that maybe what’s
needed is another way of
thinking about what’s going
on here. How else can you
see it?
LIBRA (Sept. 23-0ct. 23). Take
it slow and calm. Your safety
and well-being are your No. 1
priority. Don’t let the excite
ment of new responsibilities,
people and circumstances
overshadow that.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).
Every stage and room of life
is different. What plays well
on one doesn’t look so great
on another. There are matters
of scale and light to consider.
Get help setting things up.
Another eye on the thing
won’t be a bad idea.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.
21). There are things you have
but no longer need and other
things you need but you don’t
have. It’s time to get rid of the
excess to make room for the
new.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Casual situations will suit you,
and you’ll appreciate how you
can discover and be yourself
without the pressure of need
ing to pretend or perform.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.18)
Though some will protest, you
don’t owe anyone your atten
tion. Beautiful things happen
when you give your attention
only as you want to give it,
without obligation or guilt.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).
As beautiful, ornate or gilded
as a room may be, if you can’t
get out when you want to, it’s
still a cage. It’s a day to test
and protect your freedom.
