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.

Take a look at your outside woodwork Many houses in North Georgia might benefit from current “stay home” orders. The woodwork deserves an examination for rain and frost damage. Prevailing winds in our area come from the west, the direction from which most rainwater is driven against the structure. But the western side of the house also dries faster than its northern one, due to the sun angles. Northern walls never see direct sun light. Moisture accumulated in joints and crevices has time to make the wood rot. I like to look at that side first. Remove peeling or flak ing paint with a scraper tool. Then, resist the temptation to apply caulk or the beautiful color paint that adorns the house. It’s extremely impor tant to put on at least one coat of that dull-looking primer. Its job is to seal the wood against moisture invasion, as well as forming a surface to which the topcoat can bond. Without primer, that expensive color paint will fall off again after a while. There are now formulations that combine paint and primer, but I’ve always had bet ter results with the 2-step approach. Primer also helps caulk adhere better. So now comes the step where the gaps and joints of the wood get filled. Don’t use 100% silicone caulk, it’s for bathtubs and sinks, and not paintable. Use a high qual ity latex caulk. The longer the lifespan stated on the cartridge, the better it usu ally holds up. When the caulk has cured overnight, it’s time for a couple of topcoats. Grandpa’s old turpentine paint has long been outper formed (and outpriced) by the modern latex products. Flat and eggshell surface formulations are slightly less expensive and can hide small irregularities. But semi-gloss and gloss paints are more accepting of scrubbing and careful pressure washing. Unless you like to experiment, an unknown cheap brand is not a good choice. Using top-quality brand-name paint makes an enormous difference compared to the economy lines. It goes on more smoothly, requires fewer coats to cover properly (two coats is usually the standard), and lasts longer in our dry, hot, windy, cold, wet and freezing Southern weather. Dollar-bin paint brushes are good for one-time tasks with non-washable coatings like polyurethane. But for house wood work, a $10-15 brush produces amazing results. For cleanup, soap and water are sufficient. But using a hair shampoo/ conditioner product cleans and also condi tions the bristles.

TODAY IN HISTORY On this date: In 1814, Napoleon Bonaparte abdicated as Emperor of the French and was banished to the island of Elba. (Napoleon later escaped from Elba and returned to power in March 1815, until his downfall in the Battle of Waterloo in June 1815.) In 1865, President Abraham Lincoln spoke to a crowd outside the White House, saying, “We meet this evening, not in sor row, but in gladness of heart.” (It was the last public address Lincoln would deliver.) In 1921, Iowa became the first state to impose a cigarette tax, at 2 cents a package. In 1945, during World War II, American soldiers liberated the Nazi concentration camp Buchenwald in Germany. In 1965, dozens of tornadoes raked six Midwestern states on Palm Sunday, killing 271 people. In 1968, President Lyndon B. Johnson signed into law the Civil Rights Act of 1968, which included the Fair Housing Act, a week after the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. In 1970, Apollo 13, with astronauts James A. Lovell, Fred W. Haise and Jack Swigert, blasted off on its ill-fated mission to the moon. In 1980, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission is sued regulations specifically prohibiting sexual harassment of workers by supervisors. In 1981, President Ronald Reagan returned to the White House from the hospital, 12 days after he was wounded in an assassination attempt. In 1996, 7-year-old Jessica Dubroff, who hoped to become the youngest person to fly cross-country, was killed along with her father and flight instructor when their plane crashed after takeoff from Cheyenne, Wyoming.

TODAY IN HISTORY PHOTO Associated Press The huge Saturn rocket carrying the Apollo 13 spacecraft is on its moon mission, lifts off the launch pad at Cape Kennedy, Fla., April 11,1970. | The calendar of events will return at a later date, HOROSCOPES BY HOLIDAY ARIES (March 21-April 19). The situation seems far from ideal. What if you thought of this as perfect how it is? Imagine it would be ruined by any addition, subtraction or change. Suddenly, there’s a lot to love about it. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You want to spend time with people who have standards but not inflexible ones. They should have rules — but not too many. People who are hard to please will limit your fun. GEMINI (May 21-June21). You’ve an excellent sense for where you should be today and who you need to show up for. You’ll go where you’re needed. When you’re not needed, you’ll stay out of the drama and help by not helping. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You’ll cut through the noise. Instead of trying to prove a point, you’ll appeal to the emotions of others and let the point arise naturally in a story that proves itself. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). If you do things when you think of them, you save yourself the stress of having one more thing on your mental list. In general, anything you can get out of your mind and into the world will make your life easier. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You can’t run away from things that exist inside you. So stock yourself with things you wouldn’t want to run away from — supportive talk, a magnet for joy, a permission slip to live unapologetically — and it all works out. LIBRA (Sept. 23-0ct. 23). You’re far less reactionary in a relationship. You don’t take the good things or the bad things too personally. You’re interested to see where it goes when your hands aren’t gripping the wheel so firmly. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Consider being strict about being easy on yourself. For instance, a stringent diet of eating whatever you want and not feeling guilty could be a very effective solution to what ails you. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). The reason that every body can’t win at once is that winning looks different to each person involved. There is no one scenario that will feel victorious to all. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) There are a wide variety of in terruptions that might restore you, so long as the ruckus is outside of your ordinary pattern, and also out of your alternative pattern to that. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). The old vaudevillian adage applies to your interactions today. For success with the audience: Tell them what you’re going to do. Do it. Tell them what you did. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You are not easily swayed... until you want something. Be aware of how wanting makes you vulnerable. If your wish is too easily fulfilled, it’s appro priate to be a little skeptical about how and why this is so.
