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. Find us on these platforms or reach out to our newsroom at news@ gainesvilletimes.com or 770-718-3435. /gainesvilletimes @gtii @gtimes @gtimesnews Find Gainesville Times on your podcast app to listen to our Inside The Times series, where you can learn how stories come together and get to know our staff. Those extra daylight hours will soon start to decrease This is a beautiful time of the year with warm evenings, late sunsets. The days are still getting longer. We have two more weeks until things change again. Sum mer solstice occurs on Saturday, June 20. After that date, the days will be getting shorter but their average temperatures will rise. Nothing to do with global warming. This is the change of the seasons that’s been a mechanism ever since the planet came into existence. The solstices — June 20 and December 21 — mark the times when the sun is highest (June) and lowest (December) in the northern hemisphere. In Buenos Aires, Sao Paulo, Sydney, Christchurch and everywhere else south of the equator it’s the opposite, and Christ mas happens at summertime there. Seasons aren’t related to the distance of the earth from the sun. If that were so, both hemispheres would have the same seasons at the same time. The solstices — and their cousins, the equinoxes in March and September — relate to the earth’s axis tilt. Visualize it like this: When you travel the twisty part of U.S. 129 up toward Blairsville, there’s a motorcyclist coming ahead in a left-hand curve. The bike is leaning toward your left, away from you. In the right-hand curve that follows, you see another motorcycle, this time it’s leaning to your right, or towards you. The earth does the same thing. Its tilt out of the vertical, 23.5 degrees, is actu ally greater than the amount of “lean” that the average motorcycle does in most curves. In June, the northern half of the earth (your car, in the highway example) “leans” toward the sun. In December, it tilts the opposite way. The more our area tilts toward the sun, the higher the sun will appear on the horizon. Along with the change of sea sons, we also get to change the clock on the kitchen wall, base ment wall, various wristwatches, appliance timers, clock radios and other devices twice a year. This is not related to solstices and equinoxes, but to arbitrary decisions by the United States Government. Daylight Saving Time intends to fit everybody’s work day into the available sunlight hours. This used to be important when most Americans had to be up before sunrise to attend to the farm. Now, many are wondering if it wouldn’t be best to leave it alone and stay with the current setting.

The urge to complain is a natural reaction to frustrating circumstances, though the mature response is to move past words and into solutions and action. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You’ll need to include more people, and you’ll probably add them before you realize that you also have to make room for them. Don’t under estimate the adaptability of others. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’ll do your best. What more can you do? Face your self like you would a kind par ent facing a child who hands in the stick figure drawing. Appreciate your own innocent charm. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You can be yourself and also be the one who gets those goals on your list, the one who makes mistakes, the vul nerable, exuberant, afraid and powerful one. You contain multitudes. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Cleaning and clearing bring enormous satisfaction. You’ll scrub the surface of projects, mysteries, countertops, re lationships and get a shining reward for your effort. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Mistakes are not only op portunities to for growth and mastery; they are the best relationship glue there is. Nothing will go wrong without producing an obvious upside. LIBRA (Sept. 23-0ct. 23). The requirements of the day are pretty awesome. You don’t have to solve problems or answer questions. You don’t even have to “just be you.” All you have to do is relax. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). While you’re well aware that there’s a certain way to serve tea or launch a spacecraft, you’re fine with not knowing what it is. As for the things you’re actually going to do today, you’re inclined to learn all rules upfront. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Eventually, you’ll be able to handle more and move faster. But this is still the early stages. You’re still learning, and you won’t regret taking the time to learn it right. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You’ll bring together the best of all worlds — a spiritual per son with a practical point of view. Your open mind will lead you to test theories and run with what works. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). To ask, “What’s wrong?” when nothing is wrong cre ates something wrong. You’re aware of this and other mis uses of focus, and so you’ll seek and find the intelligence, beauty and fun in situations. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). To accept differences and tol erate others is only level one. The next level is a celebration of diversity. A world where we honor not only our own tradi tions but everyone’s could be heaven on earth.
