is modified, all divisions maintain the flex-
ibility to accommodate needs from students
and the business community."
According to the Vice President for
Student Affairs, Danita Cannon, the change
should be
minimal for
students. "The
great majority
of instruction-
al programs
already oper-
ate on a Mon-
day through
Thursday schedule. The biggest change will
be the Friday schedule. However, because
offices are open later Monday - Thursday,
evening students will have greater access to
student support staff under the new work
schedule."
Andy Brannen, Vice President for
Economic Development, emphasized there
would be little change in the services
available through his division. "Economic
Development will still provide services on a
flexible schedule based on community and
business needs. As before, we can provide
services on Friday and/or Saturday as
requested by the customer."
OTC employees will still work a 40-hour
week, according to Thaxton. She goes on
to say that students are very enthusiastic
about a four-day class schedule because of
savings in both time and gas.

Upon learning of her

Erica to practice throwing
footballs into a hole similar to
what she would experience at

Davis and her sister-in-

Shoe-thrower earns
‘signature event’ status
from Associated Press
By Don Calabrese
What would have happened during the
reign of Saddam Hussein if an Iraqi “jour-
nalist” (not that such a thing existed at the
time) had stood up during a presidential
press conference and thrown a shoe at the
podium?
Let’s see. The offender might have been
simply taken out and shot, but you can’t
write off the possibility of Saddam’s sadistic
sons sticking the guy’s head in boiling acid to
make the point a little more forcefully.
None of this applies today, because Iraq
was liberated by George W. Bush. So when the
very same George W. Bush finds himself the
target of flying shoes during a joint Baghdad

Random thoughts about the holidays

press conference with Iraq’s president (who
was freely elected via the democratic process
thanks to George W. Bush), the nimble Bush
merely grins and explains how this sort of
thing happens in free societies.
But torture still occurs. It’s just that it
now takes the form of atrocious journalism
by the Associated Press’s Jennifer Loven,
whose stories have been peppered for years
with snarky anti-Bush “analysis” – perhaps
derived during pillow talk with her husband,
environmental activist and former Clinton
Administration official Roger Ballentine.
In a story headlined “Bush’s Iraq-Afghan
farewell tour marred by dissent,” Ms. Loven
misinforms us:
President George W. Bush wrapped up
a whirlwind trip to two war zones Monday
that in many ways was a victory lap without
a clear victory. A signature event occurred
when an Iraqi reporter hurled two shoes
at Bush, an incident the president later de-
scribed as “a bizarre moment.”
Note the lovely use of scare quotes, which
are used to let you know that the writer
doesn’t think the words being used are legiti-
mate or accurate. Apparently to Ms. Loven,
described by the AP as a “journalist,” there
is nothing bizarre about a guy throwing his
shoes at the president of the United States.
Indeed, Ms. Loven declares it a “signature
event” (I give that scare quotes, she doesn’t),
and she helpfully explains why this is not
only within the realm of reasonable behavior,
but quite possibly out-and-out justified.
But the president's message on progress
in the region was having trouble competing
with the videotaped image of the angry Iraqi
who hurled his shoes at Bush in a near-miss,
shouting in Arabic, "This is your farewell
kiss, you dog!" The reporter was later identi-

I have never met a Jewish, Muslim or
other non-Christian person who actually got
angry about being on the receiving end of a
well-intentioned “Merry Christmas.” That
said, it seems like a pretty simple matter
of common courtesy to say something, like
“Happy Holidays,” that would include every-
one.
This is why I always wrote off the whole
“War On Christmas” deal as just one more
symptom of Bill O’Reilly’s narcissistic
personality disorder. Learning that the idea
actually originated with (and is vigorously
advocated by) a white supremacist group
called VDare makes the whole issue a lot
more disturbing.
Whatever happened to tinsel? I miss it.
I wonder how many grandchildren will
receive “Barack Obama Collector Coin Sets”
for Christmas this year, with cheek-pinching
advice from Grandpa to “put them away to
pay for college someday.” After all, each coin
is “layered in 24k pure gold.”
Not to be a wet blanket here, but I’d just
like to point out that you could have a park-
ing lot full of Hummers layered in 24k pure

gold for about $1.35. In fact, that’s not a bad
idea. It beats driving them . . .
The new LED Christmas lights are cool
and futuristic. It’s kind of like ripping the
guts out of R2D2 and decorating your tree
with them.
There is a house near here owned by a
guy who has to be the High Priest of Inflat-
able Holiday Decorations. At least I assume
it’s a guy, because no woman I’ve ever known
would spend the kind of money we’re talking
about on things that you can’t wear to a din-
ner party.
He celebrates every holiday in the year by
filling his yard with cool seasonal stuff, com-
plete with spot lighting and thematic group-
ings. This year, in addition to the normal
array of blow-up snowmen, Santa sleighs and
manger scenes, he has added a couple of life-
sized inflatable deer standing on their hind
legs, dressed in camo and holding what are
presumably Remington Hunter hunting rifles
– a cute but vaguely disturbing sight – espe-
cially because the existence of real armed
deer would spell true economic disaster in
Michigan, marking the decimation of the lo-
cal Budweiser and Slim Jim industries.
Well, there is now just a little more than a
week left for us to feel financially inadequate
about Christmas. Cheer up, we’re all in the
same boat – just keep bailing.
Have a safe and blessed holiday season!
and opinion sites. But they are few and
far between. America could use an extra
10,000 or 20,000 extra investigative report-

fied as Muntadar al-Zeidi, a correspondent
for Al-Baghdadia television, an Iraqi-owned
station based in Cairo, Egypt.
In Iraqi culture, throwing shoes at some-
one is a sign of contempt. Iraqis whacked a
statue of Saddam with their shoes after U.S.
Marines toppled it to the ground following
the 2003 invasion . . .
Reaction in Iraq was swift but mixed,
with some condemning the act and others
applauding it. Television news stations
throughout Iraq repeatedly showed footage
of the incident, and newspapers carried head-
line stories.
In Baghdad's Shiite slum of Sadr City,
supporters of radical Shiite cleric Muqtada
al-Sadr called for protests against Presi-
dent Bush and demanded the release of the
reporter, who was jailed after throwing his
shoes. Thousands took to the streets Monday,
chanting, "Bush, Bush, listen well: Two shoes
on your head."
This is why Bush’s approval rating is
completely meaningless. Most Americans
don’t have the slightest idea what he has actu-
ally done as president because they get their
news from “journalists” like Jennifer Loven
who work for “news sources” like the AP.
Insurgents and terrorists are routed, and
Iraq’s democratic institutions are growing
stronger by the day, but the AP tells us there
is “no clear victory.” An historic status-of-
forces agreement is embraced by all sides,
but according to the AP, the “signature event”
is some chucklehead throwing his shoes.
One of the worst things about the eco-
nomic demise of newspapers is the fact that,
with newsroom budget cuts, so many papers
will now be forced to fill an ever-growing
portion of their news holes with copy from
the AP. You can almost see the intelligence
escaping the brains of average Americans
with every word of “reporting” they read.
As for the shoe-thrower, Mr. al-Zeidi,
we do not know if Al-Baghdadia plans to
continue his employment, but he shouldn’t
worry. It’s only a matter of time before the AP

Holiday craft fairs
Call me crazy, but some of the best things
about the holiday season are the craft fairs.
I mean, what better way to feel good about
your home decor than spending an afternoon
wandering down row after row of beaded or-
naments, birdhouse key racks and ballerina
bunny wall hangings?
Ok, so I'm not what anyone would call a
crafty sort of a person, but that doesn't mean
I don't appreciate craftiness when I see it. In
fact there is something about being surround-
ed by people who use the term "decoupage"
in context and who can turn aluminum cans
into windmills and airplanes and crocheted
hats that makes me feel, well, small and
inadequate.
I think it all goes back to the time in Girl
Scouts when I had to make an authentic look-
ing log cabin out of paper mache and straws.
It wouldn't have been so upsetting except
when I moved it the roof caved in and buried
my Malibu Barbie, whom I had lovingly
dressed in a felt pioneer costume.
If you ask me, craft fairs bring up all
sorts of mysterious issues. One of which is
that peculiar things happen to people who
attend them. I'm not talking about anything
violent or sordid or anything like that. But
how else would you explain how a normal,
rational person suddenly can't live without a
heart-shaped potpourri nightlight? No one
knows why this happens. Some might say
it's a side effect from the fluorescent lights.
Others may contribute it to a more Zen-like
experience. Me, I blame it on the fumes from
the hot glue guns.
Take my friend Shauna, for example. One
year she bought dozens of animal-shaped clay
toothbrush holders to give as Christmas gifts
because she thought they were "cute." She

Nano-Nano: Corporate
Morks say goodbye to
taking a stand
When I was in college, there were two
songs that I listened to quite frequently – one
on purpose and one just because it’s a college-
years requirement.
The first, which I listened to by choice on
my tape player (yes, you read that right!), was
Suffering, by Satchel. It says, “Come on and
take the stand. And kick him ‘til you think he
understands.”
The second, which made appearances at
keg parties, student organization fundraisers
and bars – and was simply unavoidable for all
students who didn’t live in the library – was
Bob Marley’s “Get up, stand up.” You know:
“Stand up for your rights! Get up, stand up:
don’t give up the fight!”
In fact, they may have played the elevator
version of that one even at the library.
So whether it’s Bob or Satchel’s fault, I
can’t say. Those were formative years, and I
took those words to heart. At one advertising
agency job, I wrote a new business proposal
for a client, and when I presented it to the
owner, he simply said, “Triple the budget.”
I argued: “But this is what it costs.” He
said, “I don’t care. Triple the budget. We need
the money.”
I refused. It was unethical to charge them
more. I knew the exact value of the services
we’d be providing. We didn’t get the account,
and it didn’t matter. I told him to never, ever
ask me to do that again. And it lit a fire under
me to seek a new job.
That next job presented its own set of
moral dilemmas, and could all be summed

If you don't believe me ask my friend,
Linda. No one knows exactly why, but one
Christmas, after attending an unusually large
craft fair, she came home and started making
Russian nesting dolls. And she's not even Rus-
sian. She spent hundreds of dollars on paint
and various woodworking tools and ended up
with several un-nestable objects that looked
more like Mr. Potato Head. Her family was
relieved when, the next year, she downsized
to making freestanding picture frames from
CD cases and then finally to beaded safety-pin
light covers.
But you can't blame her, really. Everyone
has a craft fair mistake or two in their lives.
For some it's a bird nest mounted in a flow-
ered wreath, for others it's a metal blow torch
sculpture of a reindeer on the back of Santa's
Harley. Intriguing? Sure. But mistakes none-
the-less.
So why, you ask, with this kind of attitude
do I keep on going year after year?
I admit it, there's something comforting
about seeing all that homemade stuff. Like
the crocheted afghan blankets that look just
like the ones my great aunt, Mildred, used to
send everyone in the family each Christmas.
And the clowns made out of fabric circles
that my mom used to have on the living room
sofa. And descendants of my old monkey sock
puppet.
Face it, no matter what you think about
them, craft fairs bring back memories.
That's the reason I can't manage to stay away.

Wiregrass
Alan Isler is wheeling a Kubota tractor through longleaf
pines at Doerun Pitcherplant Bog Natural Area, an occasional
loud clang marking his passing. Trees and stumps are obvi-
ous hazards. But Isler’s focus is more on the thigh-high grass
that glints golden in patches of November sun. The wiregrass
is ready to harvest.
“We’ve got about 250 acres on River Creek WMA where the
seed will be going,” said Isler, a wildlife resource manager
with the Georgia Wildlife Resources Division. “To plant, we
need about 600 pounds” of
seed.
Most of the seed sown
at River Creek, the Rolf and
Alexandra Kauka WMA near
Thomasville will come from
the Doerun site. Isler har-
vested the wiregrass-rich, 650-
acre natural area in Colquitt
County for the first time last
month. He used a Flail-Vac, a
street sweeper-like machine
mounted on the front of the
tractor and designed to brush
and suck grass seeds into a
hopper. Later, staffer Danny
Smith piled the coarse, hair-
like wads of seeds and stems
into cardboard boxes and
picked out the pine straw.
Smith slid a wiregrass
stem through closed fingers.
hand, you know you’ve got a
good seed,” he said, referring
to the thread-light, half-inch-
long seeds left in his palm.
These, he and Isler agreed,
were good seeds.
Wiregrass is part of the longleaf pine ecosystem that once
covered millions of acres in the Southeast. It now rates as one
of the nation’s most endangered habitats and a high priority
in Georgia’s Wildlife Action Plan. The perennial bunch grass
(Aristida beyrichiana) is indicative of a biologically diverse
ground cover and essential to the fires needed to maintain
that diversity. Quick to grow after a fire, wiregrass not only
burns easily, its stems catch and suspend fallen pine needles
above the forest floor, offering them as more fuel for the
flames.
Lose the wiregrass and you lose much of the ability to
manage with prescribed fire, said Mike Harris, chief of Wild-
life Resources’ Nongame Conservation Section.
Planting wiregrass is one facet in a growing effort to
restore native
grasses in Georgia and other states. The Wildlife Resourc-
es Division’s fledgling program is beginning to hit its stride,
gradually transitioning from harvesting seed on private lands
to banking on state-owned properties like Doerun. A next step
is to explore propagating seed, Isler said.
Others are involved. At Seminole State Park near Donal-
sonville, The Nature Conservancy teams with park personnel

to conduct prescribed burns. Without fire - particularly the
warm- or growing-season burns once sparked by lightning
and set by American Indians - wiregrass doesn’t flower or
seed and the hardwoods and woody brush kept at bay by
flames shade it out.
And without The Nature Conservancy’s help, park man-
ager Bryan Gray said he couldn’t do the burns needed. The
lack of fire would undermine Seminole’s lauded longleaf
pine landscape and indicator species such as gopher tortoises,
which eat wiregrass.
The return for The Nature
Conservancy is the chance
to harvest wiregrass seed at
Seminole. Erick Brown of
the Conservancy said the
park is the local seed source
for wiregrass restoration at
the group’s Williams Bluff
Preserve, 30 miles away near
Blakely. After about two years
of work there, “We’re hoping
to start seeing some results
this spring,” Brown said.
Sometimes the seed har-
vest is by man, not machine.
In early November, volunteers
led by Wildlife Resources
Division senior biologist
Nathan Klaus hand-stripped
seeds from native grasses and
sedges such as Indian grass
and little bluestem at Sprewell
Bluff State Park in Upson
County and Panola Mountain
State Park in Henry County.
The seeds will be sown in part
to benefit grasslands birds
such as eastern meadowlarks that suffer from shrinking
habitats. Some will restore habitats at Etowah Indian Mounds
Historic Site in Cartersville.
Klaus said the little bluestem harvest was a record this
year, nearly 50 pounds.
Grassroots interest and stronger federal emphasis on
habitat restoration using native grasses are expected to raise
demand for such seed and foster the private sector’s ability to
meet the need.
For Smith, the value is best seen in a stand of young slash
and longleaf pines on Doerun Natural Area. Last month, he
pointed out where sowing and plugging has produced min-
iature clumps of wiregrass. Some of the plants produced by
seed sown as long as five years ago are no more than a sprig.
But even slow growth signals the promise of what once was.
“This stuff just doesn’t happen overnight,” Smith said.
Isler returned from Doerun’s longleaf and wiregrass for-
ests, the Flail-Vac full again. The seed in the hopper is a mix
of wiregrass and other native plants. It will be cleaned and
stored for planting in February and March.
Then comes patience, and another aspect of nature.
“You get these seed in the ground, then … hope and pray
for rain,” Isler said.

Tips for ensuring

a successful season
filled with family
and friends
Family Features

t
here is no doubt that many consumers may be feeling a
budget crunch as the holiday season approaches, but this
year with careful planning and some top notch tips from
the experts, they can ensure themselves an efficient, eco­
nomical, and memorable holiday season.
though the season seems to begin earlier each year, getting a head
start can help to not only get everything done on budget, but also to
give you time closer to the holiday to focus on what is the most impor­
tant, and what is truly worth celebrating.
“the holiday season is an important time to express gratitude for
the relationships that sustained us throughout the year, but with all
that we have to do we often lose sight of that,” said shelley lulow,
etiquette expert at american Greetings. “By setting a clear plan and
staying on track with everything from shopping to hosting house­
guests, you can make more time to enjoy the spirit of the season with
friends and family.”

How to get everything done Conquering “the impossible”

on time ... and under budget
last year, numerous holiday concierge services
advertised their capabilities to distressed consumers
looking for some relief. But just because some have
had to outsource their holiday workload doesn’t mean
that you can’t get it all done on time and without
spending a small fortune. Here are some useful tips
to stay on time and under budget this holiday season.
n Make a plan: Before you set out to cross off all
of your holiday to­dos, sit down and map every­
thing out with a handy calendar to set deadlines
for yourself.
n Take a day off to just shop: avoid crowds and
alleviate stress by taking a day or two off just to
get some holiday chores done.
n Just say no: you will undoubtedly be invited
to numerous gatherings, but reserve the right to
politely decline. still feeling a little guilty? send
a small gift and holiday card with your regrets.
n Set and stick to a budget: sounds easy, right?
it does, but it is often easier said than done. rather
than arbitrarily setting a number, really examine all
you have to do and set budgets for each area.
n Try to only use cash or debit card: the credit
card is a great tool for the holidays. However, it
also tends to make us less conscious of what we
are actually spending. if you have made a budget
based on what you have available, you are more
likely to not go over it.
n Apply for rebates: in the busy time that is the
holiday season rebates may seem like an insigni­
ficant annoyance, but they can add up. When you
come home with a gift offering a rebate, fill it out
immediately and send it away.
Send a little holiday cheer to friends and family with the
latest holiday greeting cards from American Greetings that
feature lights and sound.
on your shopping list
after surviving “Black Friday” crowds and navigating
the intense shopping season that follows, there’s often
a person left on your list that you struggle to find the
perfect present for. When you ask them what they
would like, they respond with, “You don’t have to
get me anything,” or “There’s nothing that I need,”
and you’re back to the drawing board, frustrated.
No reason to fret this year thanks to these easy steps
to ensuring a great gift for anyone on your list.
n Become a super sleuth: Pay extra attention
throughout the year to discover items the hard to
shop for recipient may need or want, as they become
tight­lipped during the holidays in fear they will
appear rude in asking directly for something they
would like.
n Mirror their gifting behaviors: take a close
look at the type of presents the person gives, as it
indicates what they feel constitutes a good gift. if
aunt Jane gave you a sweater last year, she may be
indicating the importance of staying warm and may
enjoy a nice set of hat and gloves this year.
n Give them an experience: Put yourself in the
recipient’s shoes and think of what types of experi­
ences they may find relaxing, exciting or enriching.
educational gifts, such as cooking, crafting or dance
classes, and relaxing activities such as a spa treat­
ment or fine dining experience are popular choices.
n Create a beautiful gift presentation: modern
styles of gift bags, wrapping paper, and gift card
holders offer a broad selection of themes to choose
from and selecting one that reflects the personal
style of the recipient shows off your efforts.

How to make your holiday guests

feel right at home
The holidays present an opportunity to reflect on the year’s suc­
cesses and reconnect with family. Whether you’re hosting one
guest for the night or aunt Jane and uncle larry are occupying
the guest room for the next two weeks, careful planning can pre­
vent holiday mishaps.
n Speak with your houseguest in advance: Determine
transportation needs, length of stay, intended activities and any
dietary needs. Knowing your guest’s expectations ahead of time
will help you to anticipate their needs.
n Maintain a sense of order: the holidays create an array of
social engagements, so providing your guests with access to your
holiday calendar will help to keep them informed. also, be sure
to review any routines that your guests may need to be aware
of, such as the time you need to get ready for work or children’s
bedtimes.
n Take a hint from the hotels: a welcome basket including
often­forgotten toiletries such as soap, lotion, and a miniature
sewing kit shows that the guest is not only welcome, but wanted
in your home. Be sure to also have extra blankets, bedside light­
ing, an alarm clock, and a bottle of water available.
n Love is in the details: you can perk up a guest bedroom
with fresh flowers or a seasonal potted plant. Include reading
materials such as a book or magazine that you think your guest
may enjoy.
n Finish it off with a note from the heart: the holidays
offer the perfect opportunity to share heartfelt sentiments with
friends and family. Finish off the welcome basket with a personal­
ized note or holiday greeting card to express your excitement for
the opportunity to share the holiday season with your guest.

Modern styles of wrapping paper, accessories, gift bags, and gift card holders offer a broad selection of themes to choose from for
everyone on your shopping list. Visit www.corporate.americangreetings.com for store locations.
