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.
Find us on these platforms or
reach out to our newsroom at news@
gainesvilletimes.com or 770-718-3435.

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.

ARIES (March 21-April 19).
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.
