Associated Press 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.

For our digital subscription offerings, go to gainesvilletimes.com/subscribe My friend’s chronic tardiness is taking a toll Hi, Carolyn: I’ve made one really great friend in my new city, but he has been, without fail, late to everything we’ve ever planned. Sometimes, I wait an hour and politely ask, “What’s your ETA?” and he replies with “Sorry, I’m just going to do my hair and 15 other things and I’ll be on my way!” Recently, we were at his apartment and I got hungry, so I said, “I’m going to go to the store, I’ll be back in five.” I would have been, except he wanted to join. First, he had to change his contact lenses and fix his hair, and then he started telling me this story about his mom that I didn’t pay much attention to because I was annoyed. About 10 more things and 25 minutes later, we finally left his place. At the store, he spent about 30 minutes trying to decide on a snack. I’m trying to be respectful of his idiosyn crasies, but I’m a very structured person and need him to try to follow a schedule. He apologizes ALL the time — every other word is “sorry” — and he is aware his tardiness is a problem. I’m just not sure if he’s working on it. I’d really like to avoid conflict, since he’s is one of my closest friends here. Advice? — Trying You “need him to try to follow a sched ule,” or else what? I’d pose this question regardless of the details. Whenever you declare what you need from someone else, you hand them control of the situation — unless you also have a consequence in mind of their not coming through. “I need him to follow a schedule, or else this friendship is more stressful than it’s worth.” For example. This is an internal consequence, not to be confused with an ultimatum, one spoken out loud as a threat. Threatening people is transactional and disrespectful. However, you can say out loud that his tar diness frays your nerves — and invite him to help you reconcile this: “You’re a great friend. How can we compromise here?” This is only when an “or else” looms on your friendship’s hori zon. If not — if instead you plan to keep this friend regardless, and just really want him to stop driving you nuts — then you need to assume the burden of change yourself instead of putting it on him. It belongs with you anyway. Even though there’s no defense for chronic tardiness, you’re the one who’s dissatisfied with the terms of your friendship, so you’re the one who needs to make whatever changes are necessary to satisfy yourself. This can also be achievable, cheerfully and with compassion — his chaos and apol ogies hint at the need for it — through limits and consequences in miniature. You won’t flee the friendship, but you will... leave for the store in exactly five minutes, for example, “with you or without you, though I hope it’s with.” And if he isn’t ready, then go get your snack. Smile, rinse, repeat. Short version, respect his idiosyncrasies and your own. Leave room for him to be late when you have that room to spare, but also grant yourself license to be prompt when you must: when the bus leaves in 5, the show starts at 8 or you’re too hungry to wait on his hair.

CAROLYN HAX tellme@washpost.com TODAY IN HISTORY On this date: In 1794, Congress passed the Neutrality Act, which prohibited Americans from taking part in any military action against a coun try that was at peace with the United States. In 1912, U.S. Marines landed in Cuba at the order of President William Howard Taft to ensure order and protect U.S. interests. In 1933, the United States went off the gold standard. In 1950, the U.S. Supreme Court, in Henderson v. United States, struck down racially segregated railroad dining cars. In 1967, war erupted in the Middle East as Israel, anticipating a possible attack by its Arab neighbors, launched a series of pre emptive airfield strikes that destroyed nearly the entire Egyptian airforce; Syria, Jordan and Iraq immediately entered the conflict. In 1968, Sen. Robert F. Kennedy was shot and mortally wounded after claiming victory in California’s Democratic presidential pri mary at the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles; assassin Sirhan Bishara Sirhan was arrested at the scene. In 1981, the Centers for Disease Control reported that five homo sexuals in Los Angeles had come down with a rare kind of pneu monia; they were the first recognized cases of what later became known as AIDS. In 2004, Ronald Wilson Reagan, the 40th president of the United States, died in Los Angeles at age 93 after a long struggle with Alzheimer’s disease. BIRTHDAYS Actor-singer Bill Hayes is 95.

TODAY IN HISTORY PHOTO TIM CLARY I Associated Press Protesters lie on the street in front of the New York Stock Exchange in a demonstration against the high cost of the AIDS treatment drug AZT on Thursday, Sept. 14, 1989. The protest was organized by ACT UP, a gay rights activist group. | The calendar of events will return at a later date, HOROSCOPES BY HOLIDAY ARIES (March 21-April 19). It’s not only hurt people who hurt people. It’s kind and loving people, well-meaning people, people with the best interests of others at heart. Humans are imperfect. Love is an end less act of forgiveness. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Today’s situation is sweet, and there are ever-richer lay ers to this experience-cake. However, as it goes with desserts, too much of a good thing can be worse than none of it. Pace yourself. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). It’s a day of bright ideas. You will energize different areas of your life with vitalizing agents such as useful tools, surprisingly efficient methods, beauty, humor and creativity. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You don’t have to do a lot more than just show up ready for anything. In fact, trying to do too much will only detract from all you have to give. Your presence is a gift beyond measure. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). There’s no need to make people recall what they promised to you, respect what you do for them or remember you in general. Instead, get busy making sure that no one has a chance to forget you. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Your ambition is not a rejec tion of who you are right now; it’s part of your wonder. You are a person whose pockets are lined with the seeds of tomorrow. LIBRA (Sept. 23-0ct. 23). People will want to know about you. Though you see the value in keeping mystery alive. If knowledge is power, then you’ll be more powerful as you hold back some of the information. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). In addition to fun, your prospect has love, resources and inspi ration to offer you. Would you believe this is only the start of it? There’s much more to be explored here. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). This is your day. You’ll hit the green lights, get in the right grocery store line, find the prime parking space. The little things that go right are signs that big things will go right, too. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Your unique qualities are so attractive, and the person who sees this is not only a fan but someone you will love to spoil with the attention only you can give. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). There’s no end to a circle. To be included in one can feel wonderfully secure or like entrapment. With circles, you have to break in and break out. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Sometimes it seems that your idealistic imagination is at war with the reality of a situation. Not today, which brings a bril liant blend of the practical and the sublime.
