We see things as what can be done versus what has been done and we work very hard smart to narrow that window. Most of the times, it means challenging the Status-quo which we don't respect by any means. In the series of our endeavors there have been few worth sharing experiences - from Yougle a video curation innovation platform to our attempt to show consolidated Facebook videos with fbViralVideos we've have learnt that improving user experience means a lot and, there's always a better way of doing things. And when you do that, you start with inhancing the experience just for yourself which is eventually shared among friends and it's just a matter of time when a stable business takes shape. Only barrier between you and visualization is execution. Our innovation also disrupts a channel between demand and supply - programming skills required to create interactive animated HTML content breaking the "status-quo" and bringing technology closer to people.

Apologies for the lack of posts as of late. 2019 was a very tough year for my family, and apparently the absolute worst year I could have chosen to start my business. I had to prioritize, and obviously family comes first. I am cautiously optimistic that this year will be easier on us. Wait, scratch that. The majority of the past decade has been rough on my family. Cheers to the new “Roaring 20s”!
I am super excited about this year though. I have a ton of exciting plans for Straight Hooked, and I can’t wait to share them with you! If you aren’t already following me on social media, make sure you do it right now, as I will be sharing most of the details of upcoming events and projects on Facebook and Instagram.
I am planning on running a couple (or more) Crochet-a-longs, adding a bunch of new patterns to both the store and the blog, and even doing some video tutorials and yarn reviews. I’d love to hear from you what you’re most excited about and what kinds of topics you’d like on the blog and in videos. Please feel free to leave a comment below or on Facebook or Instagram. Since starting Straight Hooked, I have made so many new friends who share my love of yarn and hooks. I really want to get to know you better too, so stay in touch!
As a little gift to you, I’d like to share my pattern for the Delightful Velvet Headband. One of the things I’ve been reading on social media is that people get frustrated when the velvet yarn stretches, especially when making items like headbands. My headband pattern includes a hair elastic at the base of the neck and is made intentionally small to allow for the stretch. This headband has been a big seller for me, and I hope you love it as much as I do!
If you prefer an ad-free experience, you can purchase the PDF below:
The Delightful Velvet Headband pattern is featured in the Crochet to Donate event, hosted by Sunflower Cottage Crochet! You can download the PDF for free on 5/20/23 when you use the code you will find on the main blog hop page.
47 yards velvet yarn (I prefer Bernat Velvet. For my reasons why, click HERE)
US size I crochet hook (5.50mm)
no-break elastic hair tie
ch – chain
hdc – Half-double Crochet
slst- Slip Stitch
st(s) – Stitch(es)
sk – Skip
The elastic should provide enough stretch for the finished headband to fit most heads. If you need to adjust the size, you can add or subtract rows 6 and 7, keeping in mind that the twist on row 22 will move slightly.

*fold headband in half, making sure not to twist it. you will be stitching over the opposite side of the hairtie as you complete Row 42.
R42: hdc2tog, hdc in next 2st, hdc2tog
*now you will be holding both exposed sides of the hairtie together as you crochet over them*
ss under hairtie, ss over hairtie. repeat until hairtie is covered, occasionally pushing the yarn down so the hairtie is fully covered, even when stretching a bit. Leave a long tail and tie off. Using a finishing needle, begin by weaving end through the base of R1 so the elastic is fully covered. weave in end completely.
Now, put your headband on, take a selfie and tag @straighthookedus on Instagram! I LOVE seeing my designs made by hands other than my own.
Until next time,

A last look at the beautiful fall colors until next year.
I almost missed the opportunity to post this Thank You!! for all the wonderful vets who deserve so much more.
The depth of emotion on Veteran’s Day did not really hit me until I was present at the Vietnam Memorial one past Veteran’s Day. It was a truly moving experience I have never forgotten. To my granddad, a U.S. horse soldier in France in World War I and my uncle, whose budding baseball career was halted by a shot to the leg in World War II at the Battle of the Bulge, thanks! My dad, who missed the war but served nonetheless, thanks! And to all the veterans who willingly risk their lives, thanks! We owe them all so much.
Better be without logic than without feeling. Charlotte Bronte (from The Painter’s Keys)
The purpose in art is frequently directed toward the rational, the brain. Many artists seek ways to make the meaning clear so that others may discern the intent. The purpose is for people to appreciate the art because they have grasped the meaning. They “get it!” There is a sense of justification when that understanding is communicated. But what if art is created that does not have an outward but rather an inward meaning? What if people don’t “get it” but don’t care either?
When art is focused on the rational so people, “get it” and intellect kicks in, the heart is left out in the cold. “The approach of reasoning and ‘Rational’ debate has eclipsed the ‘heart’ approach,” says Father Brad Mathias of Four Winds Anglican Mission and RoadTripParenting. Engage the brain, lose the heart in a manner of speaking. The heart eclipsed is left in darkness. Art that seeks to enlighten the thinking leaves feeling untouched. Which is more memorable, art that enlightens the brain or art that touches the heart?
The rational art of the brain is so bleak, so heartless. Brain art is without feeling, cold, untouchable, like a beautiful flower incased in glass, forever distant and separate. Why leave the heart out? Is the brain really that important? Let the heart eclipse the brain instead and who cares if people, “get it?” They’ll be “feeling it” and that’s all that matters. Rock n’ Roll!
A beautiful mist shrouded this October morning on Monteagle Mountain in Southeast Tennessee. An eerie stillness covers the landscape where only the sounds of the dripping beads of moisture on the trees can be heard. Gradually, the mist burned off and a gorgeous bright sunny fall day appeared. Many thanks to Kris Morton of Four Winds Mission, Spring Hill, TN for organizing this week end time of refreshing, rebuilding and renewal for women.
“The world is full of magic things patiently waiting for our senses to grow sharper.” William Butler Yeats (from The Painter’s Keys)
To provoke the senses is to be inspired. Without the conscious act of giving in to at least one sense little would be painted, written, performed or otherwise translated into art. Art requires that openness that comes from recognizing the role the senses play in inspiration. It is not only one sense that must be provoked in the creation of art, but all of them. And all of the senses include the most important and most elusive, the sixth sense
Can a painter paint smell or a writer write color? Suppose a person wants to provoke the feeling of a breeze blowing through the trees. Painting a few bent over trees won’t do it. Neither will writing the words, “ a breeze blowing through the trees,” provoke much. But giving those bent over trees some texture and color with paint, words or action and perhaps the senses of sight, touch, maybe hearing, could be provoked. Add some autumn leaves and smell might join the other senses. Taste could even be added to the mix if those trees happen to be apple trees. Five senses have now come into play with that blowing breeze.
But what about the sixth sense, the magic sense? How can one go from sensing taste, sight, smell, feel and hearing to actually standing one with the trees totally within the blowing breeze. The only way the magical sixth sense can be provoked is to let go of the effort. The sixth sense comes from feeling the magic. The magic comes from within. To become one with that breeze is to go within and patiently sharpen the sense of magic, to be in that moment. Artist and breeze are one.
All very easy for me to say but doing is another thing entirely. In the meantime, I think I will go out and sit under a tree for a while. Maybe if I sit long enough, the magic will happen. Maybe I will begin to grow roots. Maybe birds will nest in my hair. Maybe leaves will sprout from my fingers. Maybe I sit long enough to get arrested for loitering. I wonder what the judge will do when I say I was sharpening my senses by becoming one with the breeze? Maybe someone will come bail me out of the slammer.
“If I could say it in words there would be no reason to paint.” Edward Hopper (from Artpromotivate.com)
An eagle in flight, the newly opened bud of a spring flower, the crashing waves on a white sandy beach are sights that can momentarily take the breath away. For many artists the feeling cannot be put into words. Only paint can express the depth of emotion attached to magnificent sights in our world. But there are times when frustration can set in over the difficulty of expressing that emotion followed by feelings of failure. Why is it not happening?
Perhaps the beauty seems more than mere mortals can express. The great C.S. Lewis said, “We do not want to see merely beauty…we want something else which can hardly be put into words- to be united with the beauty we see, to pass into it, to receive it into ourselves, to bathe in it, to become part of it.” Father Shane Tucker of Four Winds Anglican Mission and ArtistSoulfriend.com spoke of this quote and encouraged artists to search for those places that inspire awe and to breathe them in. Father Shane suggests getting still and thinking of when one has last seen awe.
Taking time to be in that place of awe, to breathe it in, absorb it, dwell in it then turn back to canvas and paint with fresh feelings intact can break the logjam of frustration. Getting out of the way of feelings when they are trying to express themselves may be just the ticket. Letting go of control takes the physical act of shaking out arms and hands. It takes a conscious act to let the unconscious take over. So start shaking, breathe deep and get out of the way. The logs are breaking!
“Beauty is whatever gives joy.” Hugh Nibley (from The Painter’s Keys)
Suppose your goal is to create “beautiful” art. The first thing you might set out to do is define, “beautiful.” Good luck with that! Volumes have been written about what is and isn’t beautiful. The subject was examined in a movie documentary starring Mathew Collings, titled “What is Beauty?” The Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy has a mind bogglingly in-depth article on the definition of Beauty. Even the dictionary has multiple definitions of beauty. What’s an artist to do?
The first step may be to go back to the beginning and take a look at why you create art in the first place. Was the original purpose to create something “beautiful” or something that will be enjoyed by others. There is a big difference. As the exact definition of beauty is likely near impossible to pin down, while giving pleasure to others is not. Therefore, a better goal might be to define how art gives pleasure to others and set out to pursue that direction.
Now that the goal is in mind to determine how to make pleasurable art, you take a look at what you have and discover one person finds pleasure in one style and another person prefers a different style. Uh Oh! What now?? You could just throw in the towel and give up. Or you could follow your own heart, create what you find pleasurable and let the chips fall where they may. Some of those chips just may fall on a few likeminded folks.

Deb and Steve Word’s house in Memphis, Tennessee might look very ordinary, but the reality is that it’s far from it.
The couple has fostered numerous homeless LGBTQ+ kids in their home over the past six years, and most of them have been rejected by their own families.
The Word family are Catholic, and that’s exactly why they do it.
In an interview for CNN the couple said that they already knew that their son was gay when he came out at the age of 23, and when they asked him why didn’t he tell them sooner, he said that it was because of their faith and because he was afraid that they would disapprove. So, it was a wake-up call for Deb and Steve, and even though they are practicing Catholics, outreach is something they had always done in one way or another. Deb says that the truth is that rejection seriously hurts these kids, and is something the church avoids talking about.
According to the couple, it was crucial for them that the kids they have fostered felt like it was their home and that they were part of a loving and accepting family. The fostered kids did chores and helped at mealtimes, and many of them are still calling Deb and Steve “Ma” and “Pop” even to this day.
One of the kids was with the couple when he lost his mother, and even though he has moved away from them, they still hear from him every week. Another young boy was discharged of the Navy, and his parents did not know that he was coming home or that he was gay, so he went to the Word family.
The couple had struggled to adapt their religious community and their mission at times, but Deb now volunteers in a Catholic group of parents of LGBTQ+ kids named Fortunate Families, and their goal is to help and support other parents who are part of this journey.
Even though many people admire their work, it has led to some truly heartbreaking moments. They lost one of the kids one year after he left them, and Deb adds that parents must understand the harm that comes from rejection.
However, despite some of the rough moments, the choice to open their home was one of the best choices Deb and Steve had ever made. They are now working with the Memphis Gay and Lesbian Community Center to build a shelter for local LGBTQ+ youngsters who need support and a roof over their heads.

Quite a few of my friends have either just had babies or they're going to have babies soon so I need to build up a stash of baby cards. I thought the new Hello Love die would be perfect for creating a clean and simple baby card. I just added a heat embossed sentiment from Salutations. Stacking four layers of die cuts to create depth and colourblocking the die itself creates a very interesting focal point. A couple of sweet enamel hearts is the perfect finishing touch.
Thanks so much for stopping by!

BURLINGTON – The Fort Madison girls tennis team got back on the winning track Friday night with a 7-2 win over Burlington on the road.
The Hounds were close to a full sweep of the meet, but the Grayhounds Emily Bloomer knocked off Katie Larson at No. 1 7-9 and the doubles team of Mallory Pohren and Rachel Mason knocked off Kearstyn Johnson and Larissa Ferrill 6-8.
At No. 2 singles sophomore Miho Shirai rolled to an easy win over BHS senior Grace Breuer 8-2. Johnson knocked off Moon at No. 3 singles 8-3, and Ferrill shut out Pohren 8-0.
At No. 5, Mercedee Doty downed Jillian Bolander 8-3 and Lanie Kuntz got by Jaden Reed 8-6 at No. 6 singles.
Larson and Shirai downed Bloomer and Breuer 8-4 and Doty/Kuntz knocked off Bolander/Reed 8-3.
“It was a good day overall,” said head coach Amy Doherty. “All of the girls played with more confidence which was reflected in their scores. Katie was playing well at number one but struggles with her forehand got the best of her in the end. She and Miho played a great game of doubles, playing much more aggressively at the net. Kearstyn and Larissa on the other hand, after great singles matches, let the net girl get the best of them in the doubles. Lanie and Mercedee have found a groove and are really playing well together.”

Three state lawmakers representing parts of Bartholomew County held online conversations with constituents Monday in the first third House session of the year, with most questions related to education and public health.
Third House Sessions, sponsored by the Columbus Area Chamber of Commerce, are opportunities for community members to interact with legislators during legislative session, and continue in a virtual format with questions submitted in advance from the public. Rep. Ryan Lauer, R-Columbus; agent. Jennifer Meltzer, R-Shelbyville; And Sen. Greg Walker, R-Columbus, logged into the Third House Monday.
One bill that was discussed was HB 1620, co-authored by Meltzer, which would require school board candidates to declare a political party and “be nominated in the same way as all other elected office bearers”. candidates are nominated for.
“Despite the fact that we don’t really declare a political affiliation at this time, our school boards are political,” Meltzer said during the event. “I think we saw in our last cycle for school boards a significant increase in the number of school board elections that were being funded by outside sources and candidates hiding behind the fact that they were declared political parties. There was no need to do so, and when I was knocking on doors and talking to constituents, I was getting the feedback that they wanted him to declare a party. They thought it increased transparency.
Another bill discussed, HB 1406, co-authored by Lauer, would link Bartholomew Consolidated School Corp. and five other school corporations into a high school equivalency pilot program.
“There were previous pilots, and this is an expansion of that pilot,” Lauer said during the meeting. “…and what this[pilot]is going to do is really give more opportunity to[students]who haven’t completed high school or not to really focus and provide additional support and work for these individuals are at risk of not graduating. are able to just go out and complete their high school to get their degree and hopefully take that extra step once they’re exposed to other opportunities along the way. But I think We’ve seen this program have a positive impact, and the whole goal is to make sure we’re not losing track of individuals who are at risk of dropping out and not completing their high school education.”
According to the latest version of the bill, other school corporations joining the pilot program include Elwood Community Schools Corp., Anderson Community Schools, Clark-Pleasant Community Schools Corp., Center Grove Community Schools Corp. and Greenwood Community. school corporation
Walker was asked about SB 368, which would establish an early childhood care and education pilot program that would provide a cost-sharing approach to early childhood care and education. Under the pilot program, according to the current version of the bill, participating employers, the state and the parent or guardian would pay one-third of the cost for each eligible child’s care.
Currently, Adams, Allen, DeKalb, Huntington, Kosciuszko, LaGrange, Noble, Steuben, Wabash, Wells and Whitley counties are listed as participating counties.
While Walker is not an author or co-author of the bill, he chairs the Family and Children’s Services Committee, where the bill is pending.
“I think there is broad support (for the bill),” Walker said. “…I think there is a widespread recognition that it is a business-friendly and family-friendly necessity.”
A question submitted to the public was asked by “a parent of a child with gender dysphoria,” referring to bills introduced by Lauer and other members that would “prohibit doctors from providing gender-affirming care to minors.” wanted to understand the passage of the law”. of the Indiana General Assembly.
Lauer wrote HB 1231, which prohibits health care professionals in Indiana from providing sex reassignment surgery, puberty blockers, hormone therapy to children under the age of 18, among other treatments intended to identify them as a gender different from sex. Help with presentation. Birth certificate, as per a copy of the bill.
The measure would also prohibit public funds from being used to reimburse or cover procedures for minors, prohibit the distribution of public funds to organizations providing gender-confirmation procedures, and penalize medical providers who subject them to civil liability. anyway provide treatment for.
Lauer defended his support for his bill, saying that he was “surprised” that these procedures and treatments “have come so quickly, not only for our culture, but for our state.”
“My bill bans surgery on children, puberty blockers and cross-sex sex hormones that stunt the growth of children that have consequences — that there are no long-term studies that we know of — but we are seeing some harmful These very consequential times during a child’s development and growth have effects only a few years later,” Lauer said. “…I think we have a duty to protect these children, and I believe the time has come to do something about it. So, there are other bills in the House that have similar goals, and we’ll see where the legislation goes as we begin the debate.
Walker, for his part, has signed on as a co-author on SB 480. The Senate bill would prohibit a physician or other practitioner from knowingly providing a sex-transition procedure to a person who is under the age of 18 for the purpose of changing the minor’s sex or delaying puberty.
Walker said he signed the bill “to communicate some of the long-term effects of administering estrogen and testosterone or other agents that there is no physiological, medical need (or) indication for these particular hormones.”
“I hope this is not seen as prejudice or bias against children and their families who seek this type of medical treatment, but there does seem to be a growing wave of requests for this type of treatment, and I Want to better understand whether there are long-term effects of estrogen and testosterone on development if, over time, gender preference changes back from biological beginnings, and whether that causes long-term harm? Walker said. “I’m aware of those data. Which talks about the mental anguish that can result from people who are or want to be or believe in gender transitioning. There is unfortunately a lot of mental suffering in a lot of kids these days, and I’m not sure we have a good handle on why it all happens.

The Forgotten Throne
Size: Very large town / small city
The Estoch Board of Merchants, made up of the five most wealthy and successful merchant barons in town. These Include:
- Bartho Lingannon, Arms and Supply Trader. ( Wassi Human)
- Orsino Van Lywen, Textiles Dealer. (Half-Elf, Lordosian)
- Mazari Sandsifter, Arcanist. (Wassi Dwarf)
- Claytus Hifflebach, Farmer’s Union Head (Wassi Dwarf)
- Ambra Thornhold, Matron of the High Tide (Foxfolk, Twilian.)
Wassledarn, but as their furthest colony they have grown politically distant from one another.
Too big to rightly be called as town, but too factional and transitory to be rightly called a city, Estoch is, for better or worse, the largest open market on the Lost Coast.
The town itself is primarily fueled by five large businesses which draw customers from far abroad to visit Estoch in search of hard-to-find items or unique luxuries imported from abroad. Make no mistake – this is a city that lives only for trade, and which exults success in business over any other metric. Wassi dwarves and humans make up the overwhelming majority of the citizens here, and all of them either toil endlessly in service to one of the Merchant Barons, or engage endlessly in political trickery on their behalf.
This is not a town for bright-eyed young settlers, and anyone who tells you otherwise is selling something. This place is a hotbed of local politics and corporate espionage, on a scale that would drown most inexperienced merchants (but would also be laughed at as infantile and hopelessly petty by any serious politician from an elven capital.)
- The Estoch Market ‘square’; a six-sided open area market bordered on five of the six sides by the warehouses / emporiums of the five merchant barons. Each of their businesses focus on different goods. The rest of the market is made up of smaller merchants (many of them funded or co-owned by the larger barons) whose businesses mostly serve to undercut other baron’s primary revenues. (The sixth side of the hex is occupied by the town hall.)
The Five Great Warehouses
Lingannon Adventure & Supply Company
- Bartho Lingannon was the first true Baron of Estoch. A former mercenary company leader who turned a tidy profit during the first wave of exploration by selling low-cost adventure supply to the settlers and adventurers arriving on the Continent without the tools or weapons they needed to survive in the wilderness.
- “Lingannon’s” has become one of the largest warehouse stores on the continent for arms, adventure goods, and other staples of rural & mercenary life on the continent. The ample funds he has acquired in deals with other towns along the Lost Coast has allowed him to diversify his inventory, allowing him to carry a selection of goods “for any budget”.
Van Lywen Fine Textiles & Orsino’s Rarity and Curio Emporium
- Cloth has historically been one of the most valuable trades in any nation, and Orsino Van Lywen was a student of history in his time as a young noble in Lordosi. He brought his family’s textile goods to market in Estoch, wisely recognizing that this was a market ready to expand.
- As an amateur historian, Orsino was unique amongst the local barrons in his willingness to take objects of historical interest that the locals had scavenged from their explorations in trade for his goods. The result, after a few years of accumulation, was his second much smaller venture – the Curio shop that sells those objects he has decided not to keep for his personal collections.
The Anytime Alchemical & Arcane Laboratory
- Owned and overseen by Mazari Sandsifter, the ’A3 Lab" is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, for all of your arcane or alchemical trading, buying, or consulting needs.
- The motto chiseled behind the front counter read “Because Science Never Sleeps”, which explains why the staff (including Sandsifter herself) always look a little wild-eyed despite their constant entheusiasm for their area of business.
- Lab space is available for rent in a separate nearby building out behind the Lab itself. There are heft damage deposits required, and given the nature of the clientele they are rarely refunded.
Hifflebach’s Culinary Marketplace & Flavour Emporium
- Claytus Hifflebach , himself originally a fruit farmer, wisely brought the local farmers together rather than allowing the other growing barrons to fracture the town’s food supply.
- A market within a market, the bulk of the huge warehouse space is made up of smaller stalls where local food producers sell their wares.
- Claytus is perhaps the only merchant baron in town with a genuinely good reputation. He’s tough but fair, pays his staff enough to live on, and thinks like a farmer.
The High Tide Ale & Entertainment Warehouse
- Former first-mate to one of the Scoundrel Princes of the Twilight Isles, Ambra Thornhold runs the “entertainment service industry” in Estoch. During the rush to the new world it’s whispered that she put together some venture capital as a privateer then came in and set up shop in the same manner as the existing barons, pushing her way in through a combination of savvy a literal strong-arming until she ran all of the town’s inns.
- The High Tide is same size as the other four ‘warehouses’, but it’s entirely built to be a vast hotel, tavern, and dining hall where all manner of entertainments can be enjoyed. From high-brow bards to low-brow dancing, the stage performances in the common rooms (yes, there are two, at opposite end of the building) are a constantly-changing showcase.
- If your coins are the right colour and you ask nicely, there are quite a number of unique personalized rooms available. Some come with massages, spiritual readings or unique creature comforts suited to people with unusual physiques. Others come with ‘luxuries’ people might wish to enjoy in private, such as recreational narcotics or discreet companionship. If you are looking for vice in Estoch (or anywhere on the Lost Coast, really), then the High Tide is the place you’ll want to go.
LOCALS / CONTACTS:
- Ambassador from the Estoch Board, Hallock is technically not employed by anyone on the council. But his efforts make money for all of them, so he enjoys a special place of respect with all five of the Barons.
-The party has avoided Estoch due to difficult relations with Hallock.

Paul Rusesabagina, a businessman whose role in saving more than 1,000 lives inspired the film Hotel Rwanda, has appeared in court in Rwanda’s capital, Kigali, to face charges of terrorism and murder.
The family of Rusesabagina, who is an outspoken critic of President Paul Kagame, have accused the east African country’s authorities of kidnapping the 66-year-old from Dubai earlier this month and denying him fair legal representation.
Wearing a brown jacket, white shirt and trousers and accompanied by lawyers appointed by authorities, Rusesabagina appeared at Kagarama primary court amid tight security to hear prosecutors list the charges against him. He faces a lengthy prison sentence, and possibly jail for life.
Rwandan authorities have said Rusesabagina was arrested on what they described as “an international warrant” and have accused him of being “the founder, leader, sponsor and member of violent, armed, extremist terror outfits … operating out of various places in the region and abroad.”
However it is unclear how Rusesabagina, who flew to Dubai from his home in the US, was brought to Rwanda.
Flight logs have identified a private jet that took off from Dubai and landed at Kigali at 6am on 28 August. Lawyers acting for his family said they believed it was “highly likely” that Rusesabagina was on the plane.
Kagame has denied that Rusesabagina had been kidnapped, but suggested he had been the victim of some kind of trick.
On Monday, prosecutors said Rusesabagina was the leader of the Forces for National Liberation (FLN), a rebel group which has carried out a number deadly attacks in Rwanda in recent years. The FLN was the military wing of the Rwanda Movement for Democratic Change (MRCD) political party, which Rusesabagina helped to found.
Rwandan authorities allege Rusesabagina funded some of the FLN’s operations through his charitable foundation. Relatives say the claim is groundless, and that authorities were not allowing Rusesabagina to defend himself.

Gov. Brian Kemp on Thursday withdrew his lawsuit challenging the city of Atlanta’s mask mandate and coronavirus restrictions, ending a legal feud between the Republican governor and the Democratic leader of the state’s capital city over how to contain the pandemic.
Kemp said he will instead sign an executive order Saturday that is expected to specify that local governments can’t order private businesses to require masks. It is also likely to remove a provision that explicitly outlawed cities and counties from mandating face coverings, administration officials say.
“Unfortunately, the mayor has made it clear that she will not agree to a settlement that safeguards the rights of private property owners in Georgia,” said Kemp, citing a “stalemate” in negotiations. “We will continue to protect the lives and livelihoods of all Georgians.”
Bottoms called Kemp’s remarks “woefully inaccurate” and accused him of trying to intentionally mislead the public. She added that she was “grateful that this lawsuit has been withdrawn and the time and resources of our city and state can be better used to combat COVID-19.”
The decision effectively allows Atlanta and other cities to keep their mask mandates on the books, though state officials said Kemp’s order will seek to limit the scope of the ordinances to government property.
It also amounts to a tactical shift for Kemp, who expressed confidence he would prevail in court before reversing course. He has said he has no plans to require residents or students to wear masks, casting mandates as unnecessary and unenforceable, though he’s encouraged them to do so.
Kemp filed the lawsuit in July amid escalating tensions with the mayor that were inflamed by a dispute over his decision to deploy Georgia National Guard troops to protect the Capitol and other state buildings in Atlanta despite Bottoms’ opposition.
It targeted Bottoms’ July 10 decision to revert to “phase one” guidelines that encouraged new limits on restaurants and other businesses to contain the disease, and it cast the city’s mask requirements as “void and unenforceable.”
During settlement negotiations, Bottoms agreed to clarify that the “phase one” economic restrictions were voluntary, not mandatory, but both sides clashed over the scope of mask requirements.
In the runup to the courtroom battle, both politicians assailed each other and their public relationship, functional if never warm, steadily disintegrated.
More recently, though, there were signs of a thaw. Bottoms called Kemp in late July to initiate settlement discussions, later saying that she was confident the two could “agree to disagree” over the measures. And Kemp’s attorneys recently pulled back a request for an emergency court hearing.
Still, Kemp’s decision last week to call for a special legislative session created a new wrinkle. He said he would ask lawmakers to consider “oversight” legislation, raising the possibility he could push to give the state more control of Atlanta’s Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport as a bargaining chip.
Bottoms is among several mayors who, frustrated by Kemp’s rollback of restrictions, have defied his order and imposed their own limits.
Savannah was the first to require face coverings, and Larry Hanson, the executive director of the Georgia Municipal Association, said about 15 Georgia cities now have citywide mask policies in place. Roughly 100 others, he said, require masks on their government property.
Savannah Mayor Van Johnson said he was “elated” by Kemp’s decision to drop the lawsuit “and stop this madness that has left Georgia citizens confused and conflicted.”
“Our common and only enemy is COVID-19 and we should be focused and intentional about doing all we can to keep people safe by wearing masks, staying socially distant and washing our hands,” he said, adding that Savannah “will continue to mandate that our citizens and those within our gates wear masks.”
A recent Atlanta Journal-Constitution review found the mandates were scarcely enforced. The newspaper contacted 15 police departments and law enforcement agencies in the cities, suburbs and small towns that enacted the restrictions. Not a single citation was reported.
Atlanta was singled out by the governor in part because it was the only local government to also institute the “phase one” restrictions, which Kemp said led to widespread confusion among business owners. There were political reasons, too, as Bottoms is among the state’s most prominent Democrats.
Bottoms had previously said she was prepared for a lengthy legal battle to defend the city’s order, pointing out that she and two family members are among the more than 100,000 Georgians who have tested positive for COVID-19, the disease caused by the coronavirus.
Her lawsuit was backed by several allies, including union groups, the Georgia Municipal Association and the state’s Democratic state legislative delegation. Each accused Kemp of attempting to usurp local control by seeking to block cities from taking additional steps to protect residents from the disease.
Many public health experts say mask requirements are among the most essential steps to containing the spread of the disease. Dr. Harry Heiman, a professor at Georgia State University’s School of Public Health, said the science backing up the value of face coverings is unequivocal.
“If you were to bring 100 experts into a room and ask them ‘What is the one single thing that should be done in terms of a policy?’ it is mandating masks,” he said.
