Mr New AD might want
to take a closer I k: at your
Volley Dogs and find out why
so many players sat out in
protest instead of playing in
the playoffs. Pull,them to the
side and ask them it needs
to be exaosed. 58

Man, Towaliga Tina and I are enjoying this Cooler weather, and even the rain. After the drought of September
and October, it will be a while before I complain about rain again. Thank you Jesus. It would be nice if we could
blame the second-half rain for our Bulldogs' loss to West Laurens on Friday. But we can't. The Raiders were just
better this year --- much better. Speaking of trying not to complain about things, it would be a good time to re-
member that our Bulldogs went five years without losing a game in Region 2-AAAA. That's pretty darn special.
on the street is that Coach Nelson had to take care of a few attitudes on the team after Friday loss, and
may have even quit the team. That MAY make it harder for the Bulldogs to beat Perry and Howard in our
season games that will determine whether we can get a home playoff game. On the other hand, some-
times the removal of some attitude problems can improve morale to the point that the team plays
better even without a few "star" players. We shall see on Friday. Adios amigos!

No one was injured
when a lamp caught fire
in a room at the Holiday
Inn Express in Forsyth on
Saturday; Oct. 26.
Forsyth firefighters and
police offers were dis-
patched to the Holiday
Inn Express around 10:30
a.m. on Saturday after a
guest reported a fire in
Room 327. Officer Jer-
emy Malone was talking
to hotel employee Erika
Tolbert when he saw a
female hotel employee
running upstairs in a
panic on the security video
stream. Malone found
the woman and she told
him she was going to the
fire in Room 327. Forsyth
police Cpl. Kim Barnett
)
began making sure other
guests were evacuating
while Malone went to the
fire. There, Malone found
a city firefighter standing
by the door. The fireman
said he wasn't going inside
because there was a fire
inside. Malone gave the
fireman his flashlight to
see if anyone was inside,
because the power was
out. The fireman found a
small fire on a lamp inside
the room. He grabbed an
ice bucket, filled it with
water on the ground from
the hotel sprinkler system,
which was on, and doused
the lamp fire.
The hotel said that a
Robert Stefanowicz had
reserved the room for
some of his employees.
The fire was thought to be
accidental.
