BY DAVID A. LIEB Associated Press
With an election looming, courts earlier this year declared congres- sional districts in two states to be unconstitutional partisan gerryman- ders. One map was redrawn. The other was not. The sharply contrasting outcomes that resulted on Election Day in Pennsylvania and North Carolina il- lustrate the importance of how po- litical lines are drawn — and the stakes for the nation because that process helps determine which party controls Congress. Pennsylvania flipped from a solid Republican congressional delega- tion to one evenly split under a map redrawn by court order, contributing to the Democratic takeover of the U.S. House. Despite an almost even split in the popular vote, North Car- olina’s congressional delegation re- mained overwhelmingly Republican under a map drawn by the GOP. “We did everything we could,” Democrat Kathy Manning said. “But we just could not overcome the gerrymandering, and that’s the KEITH SRAKOCIC/AP way the district was designed to William Marx, points to projected images of the old congressional districts of Pennsylvania on top, and the new re-drawn districts on the bottom, while standing in run.” the classroom where he teaches civics in Pittsburgh on Friday.

FROM PAGE 1A said Russia remains a potent, long-term international challenge. “They want to become a Euro- pean hegemon, they want to rule Europe and then they want to ex- tend as far out as they can,” he said. “They want to destabilize our efforts as much as they can.” The threat of non-state terror- ists, particularly extremists in the Middle East, will continue to loom large, he said. “They will be around for a long time. We’re fighting an ideology, and we just can’t kill them all,” Simmons said. “It’s going to be JAMES SWIFT/THE DAILY TRIBUNE NEWS Above, United States military veterans were recognized before generational, and hopefully the Georgia Army National Guard Brigadier General Randall V. education systems in these coun- Simmons, Jr.’s presentation at the Clarence Brown Conference tries will improve to a point Center Tuesday. Right, Simmons speaks to those in attendance. where the people understand the difference between right and wrong.” As technology advances, he said he anticipates the “nature and character” of warfare to change drastically. In fact, he said he expects more change to take place over the next 10-15 years than has taken place over the last 100. “We’re in the fourth industrial revolution right now … artificial intelligence, quantum computing, robotics, 3D printing. You put all those together, and it has a lot of good applications for commerce, for medicine, for research,” he said. “But it also has some conse- quences for warfare — the coun- try that takes the lead in A.I. will probably be the country in the driver’s seat calling the shots as a superpower going forward. And I know our country is doing every- thing it can to be that one.” But technology isn’t just changing warfare operations, he said it’s bound to make it cheaper. One Tomahawk missile, he said, costs about $1.5 million to pro- duce in 2018 dollars; he said it isn’t long before enemy combat- ants will be able to 3D print drones for $500, install them with advanced GPS systems for $1,000 and then arm them with a menagerie of weapons for just a few thousand more dollars. And when it comes to the field of virtual warfare, he said Amer- ica is already gripped in battle. “Cyber is an active domain of combat that’s being waged against our country everyday,” he said. Ever since 9/11, Simmons said the National Guard has slowly shifted from being a strategic force to an operational force. The Canton resident himself has been deployed overseas several times; he said members of his home- owners’ association — as are many members of the general public — were unaware the or- ganization actually sent its mem- bers to locations like Afghanistan. Today, Simmons said the Na- tional Guard has been solidified as the combat reserve for the United States Army, “capable of answering short notice or no no- tice operational contingencies around the world.” “We routinely participate in military rotational missions other than war, training exercises all over the globe,” he said. “And we do these to send a message to our adversaries — that we can project not only our active forces, but our reserve forces.” Prior to his presentation, past and current members of the U.S. military — consisting of all branches — were asked to come onstage to be formally recog- nized. Simmons said he considered each and every person who did to be a fellow member of America’s “warrior class,” the individuals who guarantee all citizens their right to life, liberty and the pur- suit of happiness. “It’s an oath not to a president or a prime minister, not to a king or queen or tyrant, not to a group or tribe,” he said. “It’s an oath to a set of ideas, and those ideas are found in our Constitution — very powerful ideas that defeated Nazi Germany in World War II, that defeated the Soviet Union during the Cold War and continue to deter aggression around the world today.” And it’s those oath keepers’ sacrifices, Simmons said, that al- lows every American citizen — regardless of one’s race, gender, sexual orientation or religion — to be truly free. “The people in this country are able to rise and fall based on per- sonal effort and choices,” he said. “That’s the essence of our coun- try … and that’s why we’re will- ing to die for it, if that’s what it takes to defend.” Business

STAFF REPORT BACK TO BALDWIN — Cartersville High athletics supporters haven’t had to travel much during the playoffs in recent times. (They would likely argue It’s a fair trade off for such long road trips in Region-5AAAA, but that’s a whole different discussion.) When the school’s baseball team reached the state championship series in the spring, the longest trip fans made was to that series, which was played in nearby Rome. The Canes hosted every previous round. Three times due to being the higher seed and once by virtue of the universal coin toss. The same coin toss meant the Cartersville boys soccer, boys ten- nis and girls tennis teams never had to leave town in the playoffs. The girls soccer team did make trips on the road in the first and sec- ond rounds. Recently, the Canes volleyball team traveled to Augusta for the state quarterfinals, defeating Richmond Academy to advance to the semis for the first time in program history. But those types of trips haven’t happened often. Region winners earn No. 1 seeds in the postseason, which guarantee home matches each of the first two rounds, beyond that the host is determined by higher remaining seed or by a universal coin toss. Due to a great run of success across the board, the Canes have won a number of region titles to lessen the travel burden. However, one of the more recent treks Cartersvile supporters had to make came when the boys basketball team reached the Elite Eight earlier this year. Following a home win over Heritage and a road triumph over Blessed Trinity, the second-seeded Canes had to head to Milledgeville to face Baldwin for a spot in the Final Four. Cartersville hung around before Baldwin pulled away late. Now, the Canes football team will get an opportunity to avenge that loss, when they head to Milledgeville to face Baldwin for a spot in the Final Four. The game will mean even more to the couple of football players who were on the basketball team that fell to the Braves. Should the Canes manage to pull off the road victory, there’s a chance they will make another trip south of Atlanta next week to face fellow No. 1 seed Mary Persons in Forsyth.
