COVINGTON - Covington Mayor Kim Carter cast the tie-breaking vote to extend a special-use permit for Peachtree Academy Private School LLC to locate a school on McGuirts Bridge Road.The special-use permit was approved by the City Council in February, with numerous conditions, including a stipulation that the permit be renewed in five years. Applicant JaNice Van Ness appealed that condition, asking for an extension of the permit for 20 years or for perpetuity. "The extension to perpetuity would allow us to invest the money we need to. We're uncomfortable going to a bank saying we only have a five-year guarantee," she said. The Planning Commission agreed to extend the permit for perpetuity at a special hearing on April 28. Van Ness was also seeking clarification on how many students could attend and the use of modular buildings. The Planning Commission agreed the ordinance allows a maximum of 1,100 students; Van Ness is aiming for an enrollment of 625. The commission also clarified that modular buildings would be allowed if they meet zoning ordinance standards. Located on approximately 30 acres at 70 McGuirts Bridge Road off U.S. Highway 278, the school would be developed in three phases, ultimately resulting in more than 50,000 square feet of building space and 90,000 square feet of outdoor space for ball fields and tennis courts. One condition of approval was that a traffic study and signal warrant analysis be conducted to address transportation concerns. The traffic study must be approved by the Newton County engineer, since McGuirts Bridge Road falls in the county's jurisdiction, and will also be reviewed by the Georgia Department of Transportation, before a building permit is issued. Wayne Digby, who works as the police chief in Porterdale, said the project will only worsen congestion on U.S. Highway 278. He said traffic is already bumper to bumper to the Alcovy River. "The only way I get out (in traffic) is because I'm with the Police Department and sometimes people will see you and let you in," he said. McGuirts Bridge resident Olin Webb said his driveway will be blocked if the school is built due to traffic backlog. "Why do you want a business in here that pays no taxes and creates traffic, and the only excuse is she has the right to sell her property? Well, yes, she does, but she does not have a right to sell her property in a way that causes hardship," he said. Carter said many businesses don't pay taxes, including nonprofit organizations, but are still valuable to the community. She said the city enjoys a balanced tax base, with more dollars coming from commercial and industrial than residential. She pointed out the property could be developed residential as zoned, and governments spend more money providing services to residences than they receive in revenues. "Yes, we might be foregoing tax dollars, as you said, but it would also be foregoing extra expense," she said. Councilman John Howard, who voted against the petition initially, made a motion to accept the Planning Commission's recommendation to extend the special-use permit, saying he doesn't approve of the location, but believes the traffic study could be the end of the project. "I'm going to tell you right now, (the DOT) is not going to agree to it ... That would kill the project, wouldn't it?" he said to Van Ness, who nodded yes. In February, County Engineer Kevin Walter told the council the school would likely generate up to 1,000 new vehicle trips per day. He added a traffic signal will be needed for safety reasons. Also, the McGuirts Bridge intersection with U.S. Highway 278 is at an 80-degree angle, which could prove dangerous for so much traffic, Walter said. The intersection of Smith Store and Salem roads is at a 60-degree angle, and there have been several fatalities there, he said. Councilman Mike Whatley, who also opposed the petition in February, said he would vote no again. "It's not a good place. It's not a good thing. There's going to be kids coming out here using their cell phones and texting and they're going to be a T-bone from hell," he said. "I'm not against a private school. I think y'all do a great job. It's not the right place for it." The vote was 3-3 to extend the special-use permit for perpetuity, with Howard, Ocie Franklin and Janet Goodman in favor and Whatley, Hawnethia Williams and Keith Dalton opposed. Carter broke the tie in favor of the extension. "I agree the location is not ideal," she said. "Traffic is a huge consideration. I hope you have really deep pockets because the improvements are going to be tremendous to not impact those residents." Because the Planning Commission only gave clarification on the student population and modular building requirements, no action was necessary on those items.

Marian sanctuary at Oura, near Nagasaki, Japan. In 1865 when a French priest built a small chapel on a hill at Oura, a group of women came from nearby Urakami to tell him that they had "the same Heart" that he had, which meant that they had kept the faith for two centuries without benefit of clergy. The tiny reopened church at Urakami was completely destroyed by the 1945 atom bomb, but the nearby church dedicated to Mary at Oura remained intact. It was the site hallowed by the crucifixion of twenty-six Christians in the seventeenth century. It was also the place where Catholics had preserved their faith without the sacraments, relying solely on prayer to Mary for guidance.

Employee: Keith Arruda
Employer: Cut Price Pools of Somerset, Inc.
Insurer: Mass. Retail Merchants WC Group, Inc.
Board No.: 011383-98
(Judges McCarthy, Smith and Wilson)
Honey Polner, Esq., for the employee at hearing
Richard T. Mallen, Esq., for the employer
Linda C. Scarano, Esq., for the insurer
Paul M. Moretti, Esq., for the insurer on brief
MCCARTHY, J. Contending that he injured his left leg in a work-related accident on April 13, 1998, Keith Arruda filed a claim for weekly incapacity benefits, payment of his medical expenses and double compensation under G.L. c. 152, § 28. The insurer resisted the claim and the case was assigned for a conference before an administrative judge. On October 7, 1998, the judge made a retroactive award of weekly § 34 benefits from May 18, 1998 to October 5, 1998. The claim for payment of medical expenses for proposed arthroscopic knee surgery under § 30 and the claim of § 28 double compensation were denied. Both Mr. Arruda and the insurer appealed this conference order.
Mr. Arruda was then scheduled for examination by an impartial medical examiner under the provisions of § 11A of the Act. He "failed to attend the examination and has not offered an excuse for his absence." (Dec. 2.) On October 30, 1998, employee counsel filed a motion to withdraw her appearance on behalf of Mr. Arruda. 452 Code Mass. Regs. § 1.18(3). Employee counsel had written to her client on four occasions between October 21, 1998 and February 12, 1999, but Mr. Arruda did not respond. The hearing judge then scheduled a status conference for March 1, 1999. Arruda failed to appear at this conference even though notice was sent to him. The insurer and the employer jointly moved to dismiss the claim for lack of prosecution. (Dec. 3.) In a decision filed March 3, 1999 the hearing judge allowed the motion and ordered that, ". . . the employee's appeal of the conference order be . . . dismissed without prejudice." (Dec. 3.) 1
The case comes to the reviewing board on appeal by the insurer. The insurer argues that the administrative judge erred when he dismissed the claim without prejudice where the insurer denied liability, paid compensation under the terms of a conference order and then filed a timely appeal for a hearing de novo.
Ordinarily the allowance or denial of a motion to dismiss for failure to prosecute is discretionary. Benjamin v. Walter E. Fernald State School, 9 Mass Workers' Comp. Rep. 321 (1995); L. Locke, Workmen's Compensation § 487, at 574 (2d. 1981). See Bucchiere v. New England Tel. & Tel. Co., 396 Mass. 639, 641 (1986). The Supreme Judicial Court has defined abuse of discretion as "arbitrary determination, capricious disposition, or whimsical thinking," Davis v. Boston Elevated Railway Co., 235 Mass. 482, 496 (1920). We agree with the hearing judge that. "[w]here the employee has not complied with the requirements of § 11A by attending the impartial examination, there is no authority for [him] to hear the claim. See G.L. c. 152, §§ 10A(3) and 11A(2)." (Dec. 3.) 2 Where, as here, there is a medical dispute, a §11A medical exam must take place as a condition precedent to a hearing. Kowalczyk v. Morgan Constr. Co., 13 Mass. Workers' Comp. Rep. 284 (1999).
While we agree with the hearing judge that he did not have authority to hear the employee's claim, his decision to dismiss it without prejudice overlooked the insurer's rights established by its cross-appeal of the conference order.
This is not a situation where a dismissal was requested by the employee's own motion before any benefits were paid and with no pending appeal by the insurer. Benefits have been paid here in conformity with a conference order and cross appeals have been taken. Any dismissal must recognize the standing and rights of both parties.
In these circumstances, the dismissal without prejudice deprived the insurer of its statutory right to a hearing on appeal of the order to pay weekly benefits. General Laws c. 152, § 10A(3), provides that, "[a]ny party aggrieved by an order of an administrative judge shall have [the right] to file an appeal for a hearing pursuant to § 11." (emphasis added). See Taylor's case, 44 Mass. App Ct. 495 (1998). This language is mandatory, not precatory. The dismissal without prejudice deprived the insurer of access to the full evidentiary hearing which is afforded under the Act as of right.
The judge's decision leaves the insurer's appeal in limbo.
It is an essential element of equal protection of the laws that each person shall possess the unhampered right to assert in the court his rights, without discrimination, by the same processes . . . as are open to every other person. The courts must be open to all upon the same terms. No obstacles can be thrown in the way of some which are not interposed in the paths of others. Recourse to the law by all alike without partiality or favor, for the vindication of rights and the redress of wrongs, is essential to equality before the law.
Bogni v. Perotti 224 Mass. 152, 156-157 (1916). The insurer had a constitutional and statutory right to a hearing. These rights were abrogated.
The hearing under § 11 is "de novo" and the conference order may not be introduced at the hearing as some evidence of entitlement to benefits. Any payments made in conformity with the conference order are put in jeopardy when the hearing stage is reached. In order for the dismissal to be conclusive of the rights of both parties, the dismissal must be with prejudice.
Accordingly, we dismiss the employee's appeal from the conference order with prejudice. At its election, the insurer may seek recoupment of payments made under the conference order by filling a complaint under § 10 of the Act or by bringing an action against the employee in Superior Court. See § 11D(3).
So ordered.

FILED: June 23, 2000
1 As part of his decision, the judge also allowed employee's motion to withdraw as employee counsel.
2 Section 11A(2) provides in pertinent part as follows: "The impartial medical examiner, so agreed upon or appointed, will examine the employee and make a report at least one week prior to the beginning of the hearing, which shall be sent to each party. No hearing shall be commenced sooner than one week after such report has been received by the parties." (emphasis supplied).

Day-to-day news from Athens
by Shmuel Ross and Erin Teare Martin
Sunday, August 29
Highlights of the Day
A man with a history of disrupting sporting events runs onto the marathon course, grabs Brazil's Vanderlei de Lima, and pushes him into the crowd. De Lima, who had been in the lead with about three miles to go, runs back onto the course, but falls behind about a mile later. He ends up with the bronze medal, and will also be awarded the Pierre de Coubertin medal for "exceptional demonstration of fair play and Olympic values." Perhaps needless to say, Brazil appeals.
In spite of last-minute construction, scoring controversies, and dozens of disqualifications for doping, the Athens Games are widely viewed as a triumph for the city, and for the Games.
While China has come in a distant third in the overall medal count at Athens, they're a very close second in the gold medal count: they have 32, while the U.S. has 35. The Games head to Beijing in 2008.

'Jacks Add Baylor to 2011 Slate
Aug. 11, 2008
NACOGDOCHES - The Stephen F. Austin Lumberjack football team has added Baylor to its 2011 schedule SFA Director of Athletics Robert Hill announced Monday afternoon. The game against the Bears is scheduled for Saturday, Oct. 8, 2011, in Waco.
"We try to schedule at least one NCAA Division I FBS opponent every season," said Hill. "Our coaches and players always look forward to these games and enjoy the challenges they present. It also provides our alumni within the state another opportunity to see us play.
"Along with the excitement these games provide for our fans and players, they are also financially important to the athletic department," added Hill.
The Lumberjacks are 0-3 all-time against Baylor, but it marks the first time since the 1947 season the two schools have met on the football field. It is also the second time in program history SFA has faced a Big 12 opponent (Texas Tech, 2001).
The Lumberjacks played Arizona and Tulsa during the 2006 campaign, and will be in Fort Worth, Texas, to face TCU in the second week of the '08 schedule. Earlier this year SFA signed a two-game contract with SMU that will have the 'Jacks traveling to Dallas in 2009, and 2012. SFA is currently working on an FBS opponent for the 2010 season.

The Real Jerk
New Caribbean Cuisine
There's a Jamaican phrase, "Out of many, one people," that is reflected in the style of cooking from the Carib-bean: distinct, bold flavors coming together to create an electric experience. Such is the case with The Real Jerk. This is new Caribbean cuisine, cooking borne out of tradition, steeped in history, and brought into a new world where styles and tastes fuse to become something entirely different.
The Real Jerk: New Caribbean Cuisine includes such favorite recipes as jerk chicken, curry goat, oxtail, shrimp creole, and ackee and codfish (Jamaica's national dish). There are also vegetarian dishes, a chapter with kids' favorites, desserts, soups and salads, and all things Caribbean.
Alongside the recipes and menu suggestions are stories about the tales behind the traditions, the history of the hearth, and anecdotes about Caribbean living, whether in the islands, or on the mainland, all surrounded by black-and-white photographs and illustrations, and full-color images of the best Caribbean cooking to be had this side of the islands.
Let The Real Jerk transport you to new Caribbean cuisine: a blend of tastes and cultures unlike any you've visited before.
Lily and Ed Pottinger are the proprietors of The Real Jerk, Toronto's premier Caribbean restaurant. They first opened the restaurant in 1984 and have since consistently topped "favorite" and "best of" lists.

|Author: Jan Porcellis
|Landscape, Painting, Oil on panel, 45.5x65 cm
|Origin: Holland, Mid-1620s
Seascapes and winter landscapes represented a new area for Dutch painters in the early 17th century. One artist who was among the early marine painters was Jan Porcellis, whose best work in the Hermitage is this seascape showing ships in bad weather.
The artist selected a simple motif: the ships moving out to the open sea, towards a fort. However, in contrasting the vast ships tilting under the force of the water, and the small boat with its fishermen, Porcellis introduces the theme of man and the sea. The men in the boat, raising their oars above the water, have set off at the mercy of the elements. In the rhythm of the ship's movement we see resistance to the heavy, threatening masses of water.
In this small work we gain a sense of the endless space of the sea and sky, which the artist's brush unites through the use of a greyish haze in the air. It was in such seascapes that Porcellis laid the basis for tonal painting.
The ships with their tricolour Dutch flag sailing upon the open sea symbolised the life of this young country which was not to gain its independence from Spain until 1648. Porcellis's landscape can be understood as a metaphor for human courage and resistance to the everyday storms of life. He was perhaps the first romantic sea painter in European art.

I know I am entering my login information correctly, but I can't login.
There may be one of several things that are occurring with your Online Banking account
Is there a list of steps I can take to see why I can't login?
The following steps will narrow down any login problem:
General Mobile Phone Questions
I keep getting locked out of my account when I try and log in on my mobile phone. Why doesn't it accept my login information?
Using your mobile phone to enter data takes a little practice. Passwords are case sensitive; make sure you are entering your password exactly as it is set up. If your password begins with a lower-case letter, you may need to use your phone's shift key to change the default from upper case. In addition, some phones require extra shift key presses to enter numbers instead of letters.
Why can't I see the first few transactions of my account history?
Due to the screen size on the mobile phone, only a limited amount of information can be displayed. Some mobile phones take you to the middle or bottom of a new page instead of the top. To make sure you are at the top of the page, use the up arrow key on the phone to scroll all the way to the top of the page. If you want to view more information below, use the down arrow key to scroll down until you come to a "More" link. When you click on "More," it will take you to the next page of information.
My phone's home page for the Internet is a Google search page. When I put http://m.guaranty-bank.com in the search field, Mobile Banking doesn't show up.
Do not put the URL for Mobile Banking in a search engine's search field. Instead, use the browser's Menu button and select the item where you can enter a URL directly, e.g., "Go to" or "Go to URL", or click on the URL locator bar at the top of the browser and enter the URL directly.
When I use the Back button on my browser, weird things happen, like a blank page coming up or the previous page with error messages.
Never use the browser's Back button on a phone with Mobile Banking, especially after a page where you have entered information and pressed Submit or Continue. Use the links and tabs to navigate through the pages.
How do I know if my phone is web-enabled?
If you have a browser that allows you to see web pages on your phone's main menu or home page, then it is web-enabled. The browser icon is usually a picture of Earth. Contact your mobile phone carrier to confirm that your phone is web-enabled and that the service is activated.
I can't log in with the Mobile Banking application that came with my phone.
There are several generic applications that claim that they can provide logins to your account. There is no guarantee that any of those will work or have reliable features. Guaranty Bank's official Mobile Banking solution is found by entering http://m.guaranty-bank.com into your phone's browser, not by using an application supplied by your carrier or a third party.
Is there a way I can get an icon for Mobile Banking on my iPhone?
Go to http://m.guaranty-bank.com on your iPhone web browser. When Mobile Banking is on the page, press the "+" button at the bottom of the browser, and press the "Add to Home Screen" button. A screen will appear with the icon to be put on your iPhone and a title that you can modify. Press Add when you are done, and that icon and title will be on your iPhone.
I'm sure I'm typing in the right characters. Or am I?
iPhones automatically capitalize the first character you type in a text field. That is seen by the shift button on the left side of your keyboard being highlighted. You can force the character to be lower case by pressing the shift button once so it is not highlighted.
RIM Blackberry Phones
Why am I unable to log in using my Blackberry phone?
Please check the settings on your Blackberry phone to ensure it is enabled to browse Secure/SSL sites.
I cannot connect to Mobile Banking with my business BlackBerry.
You must be logged in to the BlackBerry Enterprise Server that your phone subscribes to in order to be able to access the Internet on your phone.
I'm sure I'm typing in the right characters. Or am I?
BlackBerries automatically capitalize the first character you type in a text field. You may have to backspace to delete the first character and then type it again. The character is not capitalized the second time.
My BlackBerry is not letting me download the BlackBerry shortcut on my business BlackBerry.
There may be permissions issues with the BlackBerry Enterprise Server that need to be modified. Please contact your BlackBerry Enterprise Server administrator to resolve.
When I use the Back button on my browser, weird things happen, like a blank page coming up or the previous page with error messages.
Never use the browser's Back button on a phone with Mobile Banking, especially after a page where you have entered information and pressed Submit or Continue. Use the links and tabs to navigate through the pages.
When I attempt to go to http://m.guaranty-bank.com, I get an error message, "Access Denied: Insecure SSL Request".
When clicking on More Info, you may also receive the following message:
"Your MDS has been configured to deny SSL requests to servers that have certificates which are untrusted or expired. Try using Device Side SSL which can be modified in your TLS Options. Contact your system administrator with any questions."
If you receive these messages, change your Blackberry Options settings as follows: Select Options, then TLS; under the TLS Default, select Change Option to "Handheld," not "Proxy."
Pocket PC Devices
I am able to view the home page of Guaranty Bank Mobile Banking on my Pocket PC, but when I attempt to log in I get an error message.
When you attempt to gain access to a secure Web site from Windows CE, you may receive the following error message:
"Unable to establish secure connection"
Microsoft Pocket Internet Explorer may issue either of the following error messages:
"The page you are looking for cannot be found" or "Unable to establish secure connection"
To resolve this issue, update to the Microsoft High Encryption Pack for Pocket PC. This add-on supports MD% certificates with the new hashing algorithm. For information about how to update to the Microsoft High Encryption Pack for Pocket PC, view the following Microsoft Web site:
