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.

Two men and two teens have been
charged in the death of rising rapper Pop
Smoke, who was killed during a Los Angeles
home-invasion robbery in February, the dis
trict attorney’s office said Monday.
Los Angeles County District Attorney
Jackie Lacey said in a statement that Corey
Walker and Keandre Rodgers were charged
with murder that occurred during the com
mission of a robbery and burglary. The two
boys, 15 and 17 years old, were also charged
with murder and robbery while in juvenile
court. Their names were not released due
to their age.
The 20-year-old New York rapper,
whose legal name is Bashar Barakah Jack-
son, was killed Feb. 19 at a home in the
Hollywood Hills. A 911 call from a friend
of someone in the house reported armed
intruders inside the home, police previ
ously said.
Walker, 19, and Rodgers, 18, could face
the death penalty or life in prison without
the possibility of parole if convicted. The
arraignment for both men has been post
poned until Tuesday.
Jaquan Murphy, 21, was also arrested
in connection with the incident last week.
The complaint includes gang and gun
allegations.
Capt. Jonathan Tippet, who oversees
the Los Angeles Police Department’s elite
Robbery-Homicide Division, said three
men and two teenage boys likely went to
the home because they knew Pop Smoke
was there from social media posts. They
stole items from the home, though Tippet
said he could not divulge what was taken.
All five are believed to be members of
a South Los Angeles gang, which Tippet
would not name, and at least some of them
are believed to be linked to a 2019 homi
cide when a fight escalated into a shooting
outside the Rose Bowl in Pasadena.
Authorities did not initially believe the
rapper’s death was related to a robbery.
The home where the shooting occurred is
owned by Edwin Arroyave and his wife
Teddi Mellencamp.
Teddi Mellencamp previously said on
Instagram that the couple had been noti
fied of the shooting at their rental property
but knew no more than what they had seen
in media reports.
Pop Smoke arrived on the rap scene in
2018 and broke out with “Welcome to the
Party” a gangsta anthem with boasts about
shootings, killings and drugs that became a
huge sensation, and prompted Nicki Minaj
to drop a verse on a remix.
Earlier this year, Pop Smoke released
the mixtape “Meet the Woo 2,” which
debuted at No. 7 on the Billboard Top 200
albums chart. It was the follow up to his
first official release, “Meet the Woo.”
His major label debut album, “Shoot for
the Stars Aim for the Moon,” which was
executive produced by 50 Cent, recently
topped the Billboard Top 200 albums
charts. It was released posthumously July
3 to mostly positive reviews and features
appearances from popular artists includ
ing Future, DaBaby and Quavo.

HOROSCOPES BY HOLIDAY
ARIES (March 21-April 19). You
can capitalize on the special
connection you have with your
fellow fire signs (Aries, Leo and
Sagittarius) today, especially in
a social or professional sense.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20).
The flip side becomes a real
possibility today. Relation
ships change suits; platonic
relationships could turn
romantic or professional or
something else entirely as a
fresh need inspires different
behaviors.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21).
The famous Dr. Martin Luther
King speech says, “I have a
dream.” What it didn’t say is,
“I have money,” nor, “I have a
plan.” Focus on the vision. It’s
the most important part now.
CANCER (June 22-July 22).
Because someone was for
ward enough to ask for the
moon, you now get your slice
of it. It’s time to join the big
thinkers and rule breakers
again. A better future hangs in
the balance.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Indeci
sion throttles creativity. When
you make up your mind to
make up your mind, the result
will be change in rapid suc
cession. Life will fuse with
imagination.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).
The theme is: enjoying the
ordinary. Chores are pleasant
exercise. Errands are a chance
to connect with the people in
your neighborhood. All is run
ning smoothly, something to
appreciate.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-0ct. 23). You’ll
sense that there’s something
new on the horizon and won’t
wait around for others to edu
cate you about it. You’ll read
up, ask around and figure out
what you need to know to get
to the next place.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21)
Don’t punish yourself for hav
ing strong feelings of affection.
They are inconvenient, but in
a sense, you depend on your
affection. Feeling tenderness
and want of another person
makes you more alive, more
human.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.
21). You doubt the judgment of
others, even when their judg
ment is liking you very much
— especially then, actually.
Your doubt is ridiculous, but
your modesty is better than
any other alternative.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19). When it feels like you’re
running against the wind,
stop, turn around and put up
a sail. It’s scary to go where
life blows you, and that’s only
because you can’t see the
wonderful place you’re going
yet. You will love it there.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.18).
There are varieties of silence.
Some are heavy and some
float. There are silences that
smile and silences that glow.
You can fall in love with a cer
tain kind of silence. Today will
bring you a sample platter.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).
The sacred will call you near.
You’ll know it by its feeling,
which will be hard to miss.
The poet Wendell Berry
writes, “There are no unsa-
cred places; there are only
sacred places and desecrated
places.”
