Jim Hite wins sixth place in triathlon
Jim Hite took sixth place in age-group 75-79 at the Interna
tional Triathlon Union (ITU) World Duathlon (run/bike/run)
Championships held at Lowe’s Motor Speedway in Concord,
N.C., on Sept. 26. Running and cycling in light to extremely heavy
rain with temperatures in the low 60s, Hite covered the 10K (6.2
miles) run/40K (25 miles) bike/5K run in three hours, 13 min
utes, and 57 seconds on a course that included the speedway track
itself and hilly roads around the Speedway.
Over 700 athletes from 30 countries had signed on to take part
in races for elites and professionals as well as age-groupers, but
the weather caused a good number of no-shows at the start line.
Also, the tough weather conditions and difficult bike course led
to several crashes resulting in injuries and a couple of ambulance
rides to the hospital.
On Sept. 30, Hite received a Tri-the-Parks first-place series
medal in duathlon for winning the 75-79 age group in all four
duathlons held at Georgia state parks during the summer. The
award was presented at the end-of-season banquet held at the
Concourse Athletic Club in Atlanta.

What does a prison
mean lor a community?
Jobs with Benefits
■ A new prison will mean hundreds of new jobs.
■ Those are career jobs with good pay and full benefits,
like: health.dental, vision, disability and life insurance,
401 (k) retirement, and others.
Boost for Businesses
■ Prisons need goods and services to operate That’s
great news for local businesses.
■ More people working means more people spending
money locally as well.
Much Needed Revenues
■ Property and sales taxes from the prison will give
local officials much needed revenues for services in the
community-like schools, keeping property taxes low,
helping build roads and parks.
■ Most of the people working at the prison wlit be
local residents,That means more revenues for services,
but without increases in costs.
A Safe Community
- In addition to the dedicated law enforcement officials,
a prison would add hundreds of highly trained criminal
justice professionals in a community.
■ Specialized training between the prison and local first
responders will result in faster, better emergency
services for a community.
