There is much about Carroll County that stands out in a positive way, but “outstanding” just doesn’t seem to be a strong enough word for describing Dads Works, an extremely relevant and unique local program.

Dads Works helps fathers connect with and stay connected with their children. Its relevance has to do with how commonplace divorce has unfortunately become in our society, and with the fact that in the overwhelming number of cases of divorce, it is the father who is separated from the children of the marriage.

Research over the past few decades has shown that children from fatherless homes are more likely to become involved in drug and alcohol abuse, to drop out of school and to suffer from emotional problems. Boys from these homes are more likely to become involved in crime and to go to prison, and girls are more likely to become pregnant as teens.

“Where the hell is Olivia Pope when you really need her?” Jamaica Observer Style Observer By Sharon Leach


“Where the hell is Olivia Pope when you really need her?” Jamaica Observer Style Observer By Sharon Leach Sunday, November 18, 2012 http://www.jamaicaobserver.com/lifestyle/Where-the-hell-is-Olivia-Pope-when-you-really-need-her_13007341

“E-mails are the spawn of Satan.”

“Similarly, the more important a position or office a man holds, the more likely he is to do some dumb shit.”

“I think what happens in a public figure's personal life should be just that: personal. Not in the public arena. I don't care what anyone wants to say: … What good purpose, other than the cruel sport of ho-shaming, can the public picking apart of these people serve for the figures, their families?

“General Chaos” by Kevin E. Dayhoff November 21, 2012 http://www.thetentacle.com/author.cfm?MyAuthor=41

On Monday, Army Gen. Martin E. Dempsey, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, issued a statement in which he said that the “recent allegations” swirling-around high-ranking military officers are “not a distraction.”

Who is Holly Petraeus? by Adriana Velez at CaféMom.com


Who Is Holly Petraeus? The Scorned General's Wife Isn't All She Seems


As the Petraeus sex scandal continues to spiral, there's one person I keep wondering about: David's wife of 37 years, Holly Petraeus. How is she taking this scandal? Is she furious, heartbroken -- is she surprised? Did she ever suspect her husband was fooling around?

You've seen the photos of Holly: A grandmotherly woman with a gray bob and swept bangs, almost always smiling, glasses perched on her nose. She reminds me of oatmeal cookies -- sweet, wholesome, and a little old-fashioned. But dainty? Forget it. Behind that kind smile is a woman made of iron. She's an Army wife. Not just an Army wife, but a four-star General's wife who's managed to forge her own path and identity.

Holly is what they call military royalty. Her father is retired four-star General William Knowlton, formerly the superintendent of the United States Military Academy when Petraeus was a cadet there. He also served as a NATO commander. Holly's ancestors fought in the Civil War, Spanish American War, and the Indian Wars.

How black delegates put the kibosh on same-sex marriage in Maryland by Hassan Giordano

How black delegates put the kibosh on same-sex marriage in Maryland by Hassan Giordano
Prince George's and Baltimore County, along with Baltimore City delegates, stand with others in opposition of the Democratic leadership.  http://www.examiner.com/independent-in-baltimore/how-black-delegates-put-the-kibosh-on-same-sex-marriage-maryland
After close to 2½ months of pushing for a measure that seemingly divided most legislators based solely on religious principle and beliefs, it took only 2½ hours of debate, in the Maryland House of Delegates, to see that proponents of the bill did not have the 71-votes needed for passage. SB116, the Civil Rights Protection Act, which breezed through the Senate with little debate and even less opposition from African American senators, met a far different fate in the chambers right across the hall.
Being led by the vocal leadership of Baltimore County Delegate Emmett Burns (D-10) - as Republican Delegate Don Dwyer, the self-proclaimed face of the opposition, sat back relishing in the moment - black lawmakers showed their strength in the legislature, joined by a united GOP front. The bill, which saw earlier oppositional push-back from co-sponsors Jill P. Carter of Baltimore City and Tiffany Alston of PG County, had many in the House debating the merits of the legislation, while questioning the support of gay marriage amongst their African American constituency.
Standing up on the floor to deliver an impassioned, and lengthy, speech denouncing those who attribute same sex marriage as that of the new age civil rights struggle.

Couple's wedding vows put to immediate test By Helena Oliviero

Trisha and Jim’s wedding day. They vowed to love each other, no matter the obstacles. But the obstacles would come sooner and be bigger than they could imagine.

Couple's wedding vows put to immediate test


GWINNETT COUNTY NEWS Saturday, August 14, 2010

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution


Every photograph tells a story. Some, like these, tell two.

They are pictures of Jim and Trisha Duguay’s wedding day. A day 18 months in the planning, every detail seems perfect: Orange Gerber daisies float in glass bowls, a three-tiered cupcake wedding cake waits in a reception hall, bright pink rose petals dot the Dahlonega winery grounds. A ray of sunshine bursts through threatening mid-May skies just as the early evening ceremony begins.

Trisha, 27, a blond and vivacious administrative assistant, beams in her lace wedding dress with a fuchsia sash, her toenails painted to match. Jim, 38, a soft-spoken engineer, cradles her face as he kisses her.

But look closer, and you’ll see another story unfolding.

Trisha leans heavily on her father’s arm as she walks slowly down the aisle. She and Jim have to sit during the marriage ceremony, which has been shortened to just a few minutes.

Behind her smile, Trisha’s pale blue eyes droop. Jim’s betray a look of fright. As they stand to kiss each other, Trisha holds tight to the leg of Jim’s pants, as if she’d fall if he weren’t there.

This was not the joyous moment the Norcross couple had imagined. Trisha wanted nothing more than to marry Jim. She’d known it since she first spotted him across their office parking lot more than five years before. Jim had dated seriously, but waited his whole life to find “the one” — Trisha.

Now, that day was here. More than a hundred guests were gathered. Their favorite restaurant was catering. Their favorite band was booked to play.

But that morning, Trisha had awakened in her sister’s house in Dawsonville feeling sick and dizzy, her head pounding, her ears ringing and echoing. She’d had migraines on and off for years, but nothing like this. This pain was far more intense, and with it came nausea and difficulty balancing.

She closed the blinds and hid beneath the covers, hoping it was just stress getting the better of her. She slipped on one of Jim’s shirts, seeking comfort in the scent of his cologne. Why didn’t we just elope? she thought.

Late in the afternoon, after a reassuring call from Jim and with help from her father and her bridesmaids, Trisha managed to get out of bed and into her wedding gown.

Now she and Jim were before the minister, finally taking the vows they’d long hoped to: I will trust you and respect you, laugh with you and cry with you, loving you faithfully through good times and bad, regardless of the obstacles we may face together.

Almost immediately, that commitment would be put to the test.

An unlikely, perfect match

They were supposed to be on their way to their honeymoon, a seven-day Caribbean cruise. Instead, just as their reception got under way, Jim and Trisha were rushing to the hospital.

Jim was frightened. Something was terribly wrong with his new bride. He’d known it as soon as she walked down the aisle. Trisha, still in her wedding gown, was lifted into a family member’s car, and they set out for Northeast Georgia Medical Center in Gainesville, 30 minutes away…

25 Divorces Granted In Carroll County In 1924

Democratic Advocate, January 11, 1924: 25 Divorces Granted In Carroll County In 1924 http://tinyurl.com/yabwqj3

25 Divorces Granted In Carroll County In 1923—During the year 1923 the clerk of the Circuit Court for Carroll County issued 389 marriage licenses, and during the same period there were 25 divorces passed and granted; a small fraction over six per cent of the marriage licenses issued turned out in divorce; not so bad for Carroll county, comparing it with Baltimore city, where the percentage of divorces is about 25 per cent of all marriages granted are divorced.

Democratic Advocate, January 11, 1924.
