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. Low pressure systems bring potential for more rainstorms Hurricane season has been quiet so far. Other than a harm less tropical depression headed toward Iceland, there was noth ing significant on the radar last week. Like all storms, “depres sions” are areas of low air pressure. So are hurricanes and continental storms. The topic is confusing in some ways. Everybody knows that the air gets thinner with altitude, so the pressure on top of Brasstown Bald is lower than in Gainesville. The walk path up to the tower at Brasstown Bald is 3,500 feet higher than Downtown Square. But this has nothing to do with storm formation. Weather charts that show highs and lows ignore elevation. This makes it possible to follow an area of low pressure across the county, and to map out the highs as well. In other words, every place on a weather map is treated as if it were at the same elevation. Now we can get an idea of what those lows really are. In North Georgia, the heavy rains we’ve seen in the past two months have been mostly from coastal storms forming near the Texas Coast. The sea water temperature near Galveston is 84 degrees currently. This puts a lot of heat and moisture into the air. As the air drifts toward the land, it rises and a storm forms. The rising air has low pres sure because air is being removed from the surface as it travels toward higher altitude. Soon, a thick bundle of rainstorms gets pushed into Georgia. The driv ing force is upper-air windflow, also known as circumpolar vor tex. TV anchors tend to bring that mechanism to our atten tion only in the winter, when it sounds more threatening. The process intensifies when high pressure develops over western Canada and Alaska. Nighttime low temperatures are still in the 50s at locations like Juneau, Anchorage and Fairbanks. Over cool, dry surfaces air gets heavy. It sinks down and spreads toward the rest of our continent. Upon encounter ing a large Southern rainstorm, it intensi fies the activity by lifting the lightweight, moist Gulf air higher, causing even more rain. This is nice in terms of keeping North Georgia green and pretty. But it also brings the potential for flooding. Urban ized areas are especially vulnerable because so much ground is impenetrable to rain. With more rainstorms com ing, it’s wise to stay alert for flash flood warnings.

TODAY IN HISTORY On this date: In 1533, Pope Clement VII issued a bull of excommunication against England’s King Henry VIII for the annulment of the king’s marriage to Catherine of Aragon and subsequent marriage to second wife Anne Boleyn. In 1798, the U.S. Marine Corps was formally re-established by a congressional act that also created the U.S. Marine Band. In 1804, Vice President Aaron Burr mortally wounded former Trea sury Secretary Alexander Hamilton during a pistol duel in Wee- hawken, New Jersey. (Hamilton died the next day.) In 1859, Big Ben, the great bell inside the famous London clock tower, chimed for the first time. In 1915, the Chicago Sunday Tribune ran an article titled, “Blues Is Jazz and Jazz Is Blues.” (It’s believed to be one of the earliest, if not the earliest, uses of the word “jazz” as a musical term by a newspaper.) In 1936, New York City’s Triborough Bridge (now officially the Robert F. Kennedy Bridge) linking Manhattan, Queens and The Bronx was opened to traffic. In 1955, the U.S. Air Force Academy swore in its first class of cadets at its temporary quarters at Lowry Air Force Base in Colo rado. In 1960, the novel “To Kill a Mockingbird” by Harper Lee was first published by J.B. Lippincott and Co. In 1972, the World Chess Championship opened as grandmas ters Bobby Fischer of the United States and defending champion Boris Spassky of the Soviet Union began play in Reykjavik, Ice land. (Fischer won after 21 games.) In 1974, the House Judiciary Committee released volumes of evi dence it had gathered in its Watergate inquiry. BIRTHDAYS Actress Susan Seaforth Hayes is 77.

For our digital subscription offerings, go to gainesvilletimes.com/subscribe ARIES (March 21-April 19). Your speaking voice is a powerful tool, and you’ll use it very effectively. Your inner voice may need work though. If it’s saying less-than-helpful things to you, take it to task. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’re so brilliantly inventive now that leaving things in the idea stage, or even in the discussion stage would be a crime. Follow through. Bring things into being. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You used to think that once a cer tain problem got solved, you would coast on easy street for a while. Alas, there will always be new obstacles, so it’s important that you make each day fun for yourself in some way. CANCER (June 22-July 22). There’s nothing like learning another person’s world for the first time. Your observations will make this person feel spe cial and seen, but only if you speak up! LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You will come across a spectrum of personalities. Some people love to talk about themselves; some won’t open up at all. You’ve a talent for bringing out the best in both types. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). A joyful life is filled with mistakes. Focus on making interesting ones — ones that come from a genuine curiosity and rushing forward instead of from fear and running away. LIBRA (Sept. 23-0ct. 23). Sure, you need people to sur vive, but not any one person in particular. You resist emo tional leaning. Your desire to stand strong and independent is what makes people trust you and seek you out. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). At the heart of love is acts of forgiveness. How many times should you forgive a person? How many times should you forgive yourself? If the love is unconditional, the forgiveness is endless. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Should you happen to get into an argument while Mercury is still retrograde, the quickest way to end it is to simply agree. Drop the defenses and find the ground on which you can stand together. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) As much as you enjoy be ing with another person, you need time to yourself to relax and be who you are naturally, with no one else around to influence or expect things of you. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Just because you connect with someone better in cer tain seasons doesn’t mean the other seasons don’t have potential. Sometimes, you have to jiggle and prod the situation to find the “click” again. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Relationships will have their flashpoints. The tensions being expressed are almost never about the topics being discussed. Look back and dig deeper.
