CELEBRIS REPORT MATT SAYLES I Associated Press The Dixie Chicks, Emily Robison, left, Natalie Maines, center, and Martie Maguire arrive for the 49th Annual Grammy Awards, Feb. 11,2007, in Los Angeles. Hie Dixie Chicks change their name to The Chicks Grammy-winning country group The Dixie Chicks have dropped the word Dixie from their name, now going by The Chicks. The band’s social media accounts and website were changed on Thursday to the refer to the new name for the band, which is made up of Martie Maguire, Natalie Maines and Emily Strayer. The band also recog nized that the name was already in use by a band in New Zealand. “A sincere and heartfelt thank you goes out to ‘The Chicks’ of NZ for their gracious gesture in allowing us to share their name. We are honored to co-exist together in the world with these exceptionally talented sis ters,” the band said in a statement. The move follows a decision by country group Lady Antebellum to change to Lady A after acknowledging the word’s association to slavery. A statement on The Chicks’ web site said “We want to meet this moment.” The term Dixie refers to Southern U.S. states, especially those that belonged to the Confederacy. The Chicks, who are releasing their first new album in 14 years next month, also released a new video for their new song, “March March” that features videos and images from the recent Black Lives Matter rallies. The Chicks are the best selling female group in America with more than 33 million albums sold in the United States, accord ing to the Recording Industry Association of America. Formed originally in Texas as a bluegrass group, the band hit commer cial fame with their breakthrough album “Wide Open Spaces.” The band has won 13 Grammys. The band was shunned by country radio over an incident in 2003 when lead singer Maines criticized then-President George W. Bush because of the Iraq War. They responded to the backlash with their song “Not Ready to Make Nice,” and swept the Grammys in 2007 winning three of the top all-genre categories. 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. As your honestly local news source, we serve our readers first.

Well, now Mom is the one who is lost. I know I am depressed by weeks of having no privacy, with my family work ing from home. I also know I am so blessed and should be able to weather this storm. I am in a marriage with no physical intimacy, because my hubby was emotionally abused as a child. This is an issue he is not going to resolve and that I made peace with years ago. He gives what he can, but I need much more at this stage. I have developed an attraction to someone I will never meet and know would not be interested in me if we ever did. I struggle with feelings of inadequacy, since I cannot volunteer or even protest because of health issues. I waver between wanting to kick myself into gear and sleep through the day. How do I hang in there, knowing life will eventually return to some form of normalcy? — Lost Mom I’m sorry, Mama. And I’m grateful you asked, because I suspect the general outline of this problem is a common one. You’ve always seen yourself as X, but that doesn’t fit anymore. You crave Y, but your emotional contract says, “No Y.” You think Z might help, but the reason you need Z also makes Z impossible. Welcome to America 2020. I almost forgot: The moment you think you have it bad, you look around you and see worse, adding guilt to your bad-feelings pile. CAROLYN HAX tellme@washpost.com Let’s start there: You can be “blessed” and still suffer. Don’t give in to binary thinking, that if you’re fortunate then you’re wrong to feel bad about anything. If it helps to remind you — but if it isn’t helping, then stop. You feel bad? Need help? Then say, to yourself first, “I feel bad and need help.” It’s not a failure to be less resilient than you “should” be. In fact: Admitting they need help, even tacitly, is what your family does in turning to you, so you’d only be living by your own example. Give yourself that much, at least. Next, break open your binary thinking on other fronts. Being strong doesn’t mean you can’t need help. Being married doesn’t mean you’re a bad person for feeling outside attractions. Someone else isn’t the only answer to physical or emotional loneliness. Being at peace doesn’t mean doubts will never resurface. Being physically limited doesn’t mean you’re inadequate. Most important in a practical sense, “into gear” and “asleep all day” aren’t your only two choices. The value in breaking out of your typical role and thought patterns is to open yourself to new, small steps toward healing: Ask others for help. Tell your husband you’re lonely. Treat that attraction as a cue to seek more pleasure, just non- adulterously. Something tactile, maybe — a pet, a craft — or physical, like dance or yoga. Support your causes from home. And, of course, call your doctor about the depression. Chat with Carolyn online at noon each Friday at www.washingtonpost.com.

For our digital subscription offerings, go to gainesvilletimes.com/subscribe HOROSCOPES BY HOLIDAY ARIES (March 21-April 19). Of all the things you could wish for, an easy route won’t be one of them. It wouldn’t be wrong so much as just off-brand. You welcome the opportunity to get stronger and smarter through challenging work. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You’re not afraid to answer the call of duty and, in fact, the best things you’ve ex perienced have happened because you both answered and went above and beyond such a call. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). The social aspects of life will be the highlight, even if they are hap pening virtually. Your soul will be satisfied by what you share and learn, especially when you are connecting with people you don’t yet know well. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Let no one, not even you, offer a limiting idea of what you’re ca pable of. You don’t know what you can accomplish until you accomplish it. Your tenacity knows no bounds. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Ignoring a thing on purpose can be an effective tactic. Neglect can be a useful state when applied to unwanted things. Some prob lems fade from neglect; others resolve themselves. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You have paid your dues and done your time. You showed up how they wanted, so you know what that’s like. Now, you’re inclined to do it your own way, to show up how you see fit. It works. LIBRA (Sept. 23-0ct. 23). Stay aware, head on a swivel, as you make your way to the crossroads. Transitions are always a little more dangerous. The intersections of life hold potential for much good and bad fortune. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). As the bees get nectar, they acci dentally spread pollen. Do they know they are the reason the flowers bloom? Like the bees, you will unknowingly cause beauty just by doing what comes naturally. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You’ll apply your talent rather mindlessly, floating above yourself in many ways. And when you come back down to earth, you’ll find that you and your muses have co-created something remark able. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You’ve already done the “dance like no one is watch ing” thing and now you’re into the refinement of movement assumed by consummate professionals. Because if all goes well, someone will be watching. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). The thing you didn’t think you had time for will now be taking up many hours of your day. But if it weren’t good for your personal development, you wouldn’t feel so compelled to manage it. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Your name comes with asso ciations. Some of these asso ciations (like promptness, hon esty, kindness) you have and will continue to cultivate rather purposefully by maintaining a high standard of character.
