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. Do bees a favor by making one of these simple devices Having a pool is wonder ful during this hottest time of the year. Whether it’s just an inflatable splashing pool or a serious swimming venue, one always finds some honeybees that fell into it and can’t get out, in spite of their struggles. Honeybees deserve a lot of respect because they help grow our food. Broccoli for example, so often praised for its health benefits, must be pol linated by bees in order to grow. The same is true for 90 other U.S. food crops. In addition, honeybees produce more than $300 million worth of honey annu ally, according to the U.S. Food & Drug Administration. So it’s a kind deed to help keep bees from falling into the pool. They go there because they need to drink water, especially in hot weather. Their local beekeeper probably makes water available at the hive, but they venture up to 2 miles away from there in their daily work. In order to drink, they need to sit on some surface close to the water. If you already have a birdbath, they will appreciate a perch made from stones. Mosquitoes breed in stagnant water, so it’s better to have a moving water source. Solar fountains are attrac tive and don’t add to the electric bill. With a few rocks added, a solar fountain helps the bees stay hydrated and they won’t need to head for the swimming pool to find water. There used to be decorative items called “bee preserva tion floats” available to place in pools, but they seem to have disappeared from the market. One company in particular made blown-glass spheres with ribbed surfaces. Both the bees and humans found them attractive but there’s no more mention of them on the glass company’s website. One can only speculate that breakage caused glass shard hazards. However, “pool noodles” are hazard-free, available at the dollar store, and suitable as bee floats. Honey bees aren’t interested in stinging people in the pool because it isn’t their hive ter ritory. If they get too comfortable and dozens of winged tourists start lounging there, one can always remove the noo dles before going swimming. The best strategy for keeping bees out of the pool and supporting them at the same time is to provide multiple alterna tive water sources. Even a trickle from the garden hose is appreciated by the little food producers.

TODAY IN HISTORY On this date: In 1918, South African anti-apartheid leader and president Nelson Mandela was born in the village of Mvezo. In 1940, the Democratic National Convention at Chicago Stadium nominated President Franklin D. Roosevelt (who was monitoring the proceedings at the White House) for an unprecedented third term in office; earlier in the day, Eleanor Roosevelt spoke to the convention, becoming the first presidential spouse to address such a gathering. In 1944, Hideki Tojo was removed as Japanese premier and war minister because of setbacks suffered by his country in World War II. American forces in France captured the Normandy town of St. Lo. In 1964, nearly a week of rioting erupted in New York’s Harlem neighborhood following the fatal police shooting of a Black teen ager, James Powell, two days earlier. In 1969, Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, D-Mass., left a party on Chappaquiddick Island near Martha’s Vineyard with Mary Jo Ko- pechne, 28; some time later, Kennedy’s car went off a bridge into the water. Kennedy was able to escape, but Kopechne drowned. In 1986, the world got its first look at the wreckage of the RMS Titanic resting on the ocean floor as videotape of the British luxury liner, which sank in 1912, was released by the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution. In 1994, a bomb hidden in a van destroyed a Jewish cultural cen ter in Buenos Aires, Argentina, killing 85. Tutsi rebels declared an end to Rwanda’s 14-week-old civil war. In 2013, Detroit, which was once the very symbol of American in dustrial might, became the biggest U.S. city to file for bankruptcy, its finances ravaged and its neighborhoods hollowed out by a long, slow decline in population and auto manufacturing.

For our digital subscription offerings, go to gainesvilletimes.com/subscribe ARIES (March 21-April 19). You’re being asked for your in put because what you say has been known to change how people look at things, or be cause you’ve been right and/or helpful in the past. Share freely. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’re comfortable with be ing different from the others, and you absolutely should be. These differences will be a gift that makes the group stronger. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). There are many levels to get ting to know a subject. It can be argued that one doesn’t come to a full understanding until having taught the thing a few times. You’ll go deep today. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Even though most of you was formed through means beyond your control, you are still, at least partially, your own creator. Feel free to take artistic license with your own persona. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). The time limitations you face are the best thing that could happen to your project. You’ll get things done quickly and efficiently and produce twice as much as you would have if given double the time. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You’ll have a choice between expensive leisure and invest ing in something that doesn’t seem nearly as fun but will likely last for years to come, perhaps even become your legacy. LIBRA (Sept. 23-0ct. 23). Con gratulations are in order, and you will hear them so often that the biggest challenge will be not letting that go to your head. Whether or not you are successful in that, enjoy your moment to the fullest! SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Each relationship is its own continent in which the tectonic plates merge and part. Earth quakes are an inevitability. Don’t be alarmed. Think of them as a shift in boundaries. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Indifference is boring. Indifference is not invested in what happens. You don’t care what people think about you, but you very much care what happens next and are deeply invested in getting to a certain outcome. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). What you do will end up being much more interesting than the reason that brought you there in the first place. This is why this is a good day to ac cept invitations, regardless of the particulars. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Doing a really good job is the best decision you can make for any endeavor. Do whatever it takes to make your work stellar and to give people something to talk about and recommend. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). The fun you face with an other person will teach you something, but shared chal lenges teach you more. Until a relationship has weathered a storm, how do you know it’s true nature?
