BARTOW COUNTY’S ONLY DAILY NEWSPAPER 75 CENTS MetroAtlanta Ambulance Service transition takes effect Oct. 1 BY JAMES SWIFT [email protected]

When MetroAtlanta Ambulance Service officially takes over emergency medical services in Bartow County next month, many of the faces will be famil- iar. “All Bartow [EMS] employees were offered a job, and about 75 percent of those that applied are coming over,” said MetroAtlanta Vice President of Adminis- tration Devan Seabaugh at Thursday morning’s Eggs and Issues event in Adairsville. “There are a number of part-time folks that work for Bartow that I was told really haven’t worked much anymore, and they didn’t apply.” Seabaugh announced at the Cartersville-Bartow County Chamber of Commerce meeting that Oct. 1 will be the date MetroAtlanta officially replaces Bar- tow EMS as the county’s 911 ambulance service provider. The privatization announcement — which Bartow County Commissioner Steve Taylor described as “the most gut-wrenching” decision of his political career — was met with sharp criticism from many in the local community when it was first publicized in early July. Still, Taylor said it was a decision the county had to make. According to the county’s numbers, Bartow EMS operated at a loss of more than $2 million in the 2017 fiscal year, and over the last 10 years has lost RANDY PARKER/THE DAILY TRIBUNE NEWS about $13.5 million, considering the excess of ex- Opposite-direction traffic is no longer required to stop for school buses loading and unloading passengers when a center turn lane separates penses over billing revenue. the two directions of traffic.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON — The Trump administration may be about to slap tariffs of up to 25 percent on an additional $200 billion in Chi- nese goods, escalating a confrontation between the world’s two biggest economies and likely squeezing U.S. companies that import everything from handbags to bicycle tires. The administration could decide to begin taxing the imports — equal to nearly 40 percent of all the goods China sold the United States last year — as soon as today. China said it is ready to impose retaliatory tariffs on $60 billion worth of U.S. goods if that happens. “China will have to take necessary countermeasures if the U.S. side ignores the opposition of the overwhelming majority of its en- terprises and adopts new tariff measures,” Commerce Ministry spokesman Gao Feng said Thursday. The U.S. has already imposed tariffs on $50 billion in Chinese products, and Beijing has punched back with tariffs on $50 billion in American goods. These U.S. goods include soybeans and beef — a direct shot at supporters of President Donald Trump in the U.S. farm belt.

And China has vowed to hit $60 billion in U.S. products in retaliation.

With its head coach absent, which sometimes in- spires teams to step up, and decked out in special uni- forms for the team’s annual Pink Out game, Cartersville still fell into its recent habit. Unfortu- nately for the Canes, that recent habit involves strug- gling across the board, as evidenced by the team’s 2-7 mark since its most recent region win. Central, which sits second in the region standings, opened the scoring with a run in the top of the first. A couple of walks and an error in the second inning al- lowed the Lions to extend their lead to 4-0. Anna Kate McElhaney settled in a bit from there. She gave up single runs in each of the final three frames, but the sophomore avoided another big inning to keep her team close. Overall, she allowed four earned runs on seven hits and five walks with no strikeouts in a complete-game effort. The Canes (7-9, 3-5) only managed four hits in the game. Three of those came in the sixth inning when Wildcats, Colonels face off Cartersville managed both of its runs to pull within 6-2. Cio Seigler led off with a single.
