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
‘Bombshell’ concert stream
will reunite cast of‘Smash’
The cast of “Bombshell,” the fictional
Broadway musical about Marilyn Monroe,
is coming together again to aid those con
fronting the coronavirus.
Actors including Katharine McPhee,
Debra Messing and Megan Hilty will
reunite May 20 to present a stream of the
one-night-only 2015 Broadway concert of
the musical within the TV show “Smash,”
The Associated Press has learned. It will
be seen on People.com, PeopleTV and the
magazine’s Facebook page and Twitter.
“I do remember how exciting it was that
night,” said McPhee. “I have great memo
ries of just being so elated to be there.”
The evening will be introduced by two-
time Academy Award winner Renee Zell
weger and will involve memories, stories
and comments from the original cast.
In addition to McPhee, Messing and
Hilty, the reuniting — and self-isolating —
cast includes Christian Borle, Jaime Cep-
ero, Will Chase, Brian d’Arcy James, Jack
Davenport, Ann Harada, Jeremy Jordan,
Andy Mientus, Leslie Odom Jr., Krysta
Rodriguez and Wesley Taylor.
“It’s really just an insight for all the
people who love the show and gives them a
chance to kind of relive it with us and hear
stories that perhaps they never knew, ’’said
McPhee.
In the series, Hilty and McPhee played
feuding actresses hoping to play Monroe
on Broadway. Messing and Borle were
the book-and-song writing team, Daven
port was the quick-to-scream director, and
Huston was the feisty lead producer. Origi
nal songs were written by the songwriting
team of Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman.
“Smash” ended its TV run in 2013 and the
cast reunited for a one-night only “Bomb
shell In Concert” at the Minskoff Theater in
front of 1,600 people two years later, which
became one of the most successful fund
raisers ever for The Actors Fund.
Simon & Schuster CEO Reidy
dies at 71, company says
Simon & Schuster CEO Carolyn Reidy,
who presided over her company with
steady force and a passion for books during
a time of frequent and traumatic change,
died Tuesday morning at age 71.
Her death, from a heart attack, was
announced by Dennis Eulau, the com
pany’s chief operating officer and chief
financial officer.
“Carolyn was both an exemplary leader
and a supremely talented and visionary
publishing executive,” Eulau said in a
statement about Reidy, who joined Simon
& Schuster in 1992 and had served as CEO
since 2008. “As a publisher and a leader,
Carolyn pushed us to stretch to do just that
little bit more; to do our best and then some
for our authors, in whose service she came
to work each day with an unbridled and
infectious enthusiasm and great humor.”
Simon & Schuster is one of the so-called
“Big Five” New York based publishers,
with authors including Stephen King, Doris
Kearns Goodwin and Bob Woodward, who
in an email to The Associated Press called
her “One of the great publishers and book
people of all time” and praised her as “both
tough and generous.” On Twitter, novelist
Jennifer Weiner noted that she had worked
with Reidy for her whole career.

HOROSCOPES BY HOLIDAY
ARIES (March 21-April 19).
You’ll be fixing something.
There are those around you
who can’t admit that the thing
is broken. Ignore them; they’ll
be of little help. Fix quietly while
keeping your eyes peeled for
allies.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Real
love moves freely between
people. If the current only goes
one direction, it’s not real love.
It’s just positioning, and the
person downstream will con
tinue to get all the benefit.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21).
People will come to you. You
won’t necessarily have the
answers, though you will have
the empathy to make them
feel understood, and the ability
to convincingly articulate that
“this, too, shall pass.”
CANCER (June 22-July 22).
Feeling good is the wellspring
from which all other felicity will
flow. So anything you do to
bring health, excellent vibes,
positive thinking and levity to
your spirit will sunny up the
whole scene.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Rejec
tion is a tough feeling to give or
get. Luckily, today it is avoid
able. Furthermore, you are
tolerant of those who believe
differently than you, because
you know that a person is more
than the beliefs they hold.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). No
matter your area of focus, the
desire to communicate with
greater truth and love will allow
you to break open the barriers
that were keeping you stuck in
an unsatisfying dynamic.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-0ct. 23). You
want to master your own mind
and habits, which seems like
it would be the easiest thing
in the world to do but instead
ranks among the hardest
things.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).
Sure, you generally know what
you want right away. But the
methodical weighing of the
facts is still necessary. The best
answers will come when you
refuse to give in entirely to the
part of you that makes snap
decisions.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).
Tell yourself what you need to
hear to move in the direction
you want to go. It’s funny that
you can manipulate yourself in
this way, but you may as well
use the quirks of humanity to
your advantage!
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
The paradox of wanting better
is its seed of malcontent. Try
a different approach. Try the
seeds of gratitude by maintain
ing a deep appreciation of your
circumstance. It only grows
richer from there.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).
Author Nassim Nicholas Taleb
claimed: “Mild success can be
explainable by skills and labor.
Wild success is attributable to
variance.” Which success is the
most satisfying, though? For
you, it’s the one you work for.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).
You will seize the opportunity
to inhabit the experience of
another person. You have your
empathy to thank. Empathy is
always worth developing. It is
the skill that allows you to be
more people than one.
