Georgia's House of Representatives dealt a blow to major telecommunications incumbents Thursday when it rejected legislation that would have precluded many Georgia towns from getting into the broadband business. The vote was 94 to 70.
An earlier version of the legislation would have banned municipal broadband networks if any private firm was offering service with a speed of at least 1.5Mbps. The latest version raised the minimum to 3Mbps in an effort to appease critics.
The legislation was sponsored by Rep. Mark Hamilton, a Republican. According to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Hamilton believed that allowing towns to get into the broadband market "erodes the free market and is a waste of taxpayer money."
But a coalition of Democrats and rural Republicans rejected Hamilton's proposal. Rep. Jay Powell, a Republican opponent, argued that the lack of high-speed networks was hurting the economic competitiveness of small towns.
"You cannot get it, you cannot keep it without high speed fiber," Powell said, according to the Journal-Constitution. Private broadband firms, he said, wouldn't provide high-speed service "because they knew they didn't have to. They provided whatever crumbs from the table they wanted."

Excellent service
They are very friendly and professional.
Warm and welcoming
I was greeted by Stephanie who overwhelms you with her joyful, upbeat personality. Dr. Barnes exceptional with her patient explanation of each step and procedure. I have used chiropractic adjustments for many years and I am very comfortable with Dr. Barnes' approach and adjustments.
Got me out of pain so I can sleep!
I'm so thankful for New Beginnings Chiropractic! I had been in pain and couldn't sleep at night when I tried to lay down for over a month! I can sleep again! I'm recommending this practice to everyone I know!
Excellent Service
I am a new patient and was in a lot of pain and didn't know why. Dr Hayes pin pointed the problem and it was amazing how he addressed it right away! I'm definitely going continue coming here and bring my whole family! The front desk girl Corrine made me feel right at home and was extremely helpful!
Expert Care
I absolutely love this practice! I've been going here about a year now and I can confidently say of all the chiropractic places I've been to over the years this is by far the best! We've lived in other states and been to many practices and I'm very impressed with all who provide services— the front desk ladies, message therapist, chiropractors, and physical therapist. Today I feel so much better in my ability to care for my family because aches and pains are kept at bay. I've been doing physical therapy to help with diastasis recti (having four kids really does a number on the tummy) and I've already noticed a change for the better in only two visits! I can't wait to continue the physical therapy and see the final results after a couple months. The messages are amazing and I feel like they completely enhance the chiropractic care. I'm feeling better each week thanks to this practice. Thank you❤.
Caring, Professional Staff
Dr Barnes and her staff are caring and thoughtful people. I do feel that the staff and the doctors care about you as a person and not just a patient. The healing process can take place in this type of atmosphere.
Everyone is friendly and helpful who works there.
I love all the doctors and staff, all very sweet. I always have a good experience when I go and they will always squeeze you in any time.
Very personable and caring
I'm still new, but so far I feel like I am heading in the correct direction to less pain in my neck, shoulders and wrists. I have hurt for a long time and I am finally able to get some relief. Thank you!
Everything was great
Excellent chiropractic care
Dr Hayes was superb! Excellent clinician and diagnostician !
Overall great service
This was my first time ever going to a chiropractor and I'm glad my first experience was at this facility. The staff was extremely nice and helpful, I felt like they genuinely cared about all of their customers. They also went above and beyond with having a dedicated nursing area,diapers & wipes within the bathrooms that accommodates mothers, and as a mother that is huge! My back was aching so bad, but after I got adjusted I felt so much better and relaxed. Thank you again to New Beginnings, I'm extremely excited to continue to go here.
it's best! Professional and very compassionate! Staff and doctor are so kind and helpful!
Quality Care
I've been to a few different chiropractors in the DFW area and I feel that this office provides comprehensive chiropractic care. They explain every step of your treatment as well as the areas that are in need of adjustment. I highly recommend!
Friendly and Professional
I usually don't wait at all but if I do, it's for less than 5 minutes. Everyone is very pleasant, from the reception area to the doctors.
High quality service. Everyone is friendly and helpful.
Each visit has been a great one.
Helpful and friendly staff
I hadn't been in a while, and the staff were all friendly and helpful getting me checked in. I didn't have to wait long, and the doctor was very professional and helpful. She explained everything she was doing and answered all of my questions afterwards.
Most pleasurable experience
Dr Upchurch was very professional and friendly. I came in after a fall, and she was most concerned for my well being. She was careful with me and thorough. The sweet lady who did the procedure on my leg and ankle was also very careful and informative. I look forward to my visit tomorrow.
Great service
Great and fast service!
Delightful experience!
On first impression the office is decorated in a farmhouse decor that i found charming and well kept. The staff is kind and courteous. My evaluation by the doctor was accurate and efficient. I have relief already and I am so excited for my next appointment!
Dr. Hayes is wonderful and really takes his time to explain the adjustment before he does it which has put my 12 yr old daughter at ease. Thank you Dr. Hayes!
You don't realize how out of alignment you are until you come here! I can move my head again!
Friendly, professional and through
My first consultation was yesterday. The front desk person is Tosha and she was so friendly and informative. After Tosha gave me a tour of their super cute office, Dr. Upchurch did a complete exam and adjustment. Dr. Upchurch is so sweet and I look forward to my next appointment when she will give me the game plan for my treatment.
Professional Quality Family
This is such a great place. The staff is great and very knowledgeable. The treatment you receive is the best there is anywhere. I would recommend New Beginnings Chiropractic to any and every one.
We couldn't be happier with the quality service we receive at Nee Beginnings! We are long time patients because of the amazing care we receive. They treat us like family.
Great massage
Brit does an amazing job with great detailed attention to every muscle in the body. She finds those tender spots quickly and knows how to rid the body of them. She is the best massage therapist I've ever had.
Very good experience
I am 28 weeks pregnant and the Dr's have done a great job with explaining my maternity adjustments and helping me be as comfortable as possible throughout my pregnancy. Everyone in the office is very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful! I have been adjusted by both Dr. at the Keller location and they both have done a great job adjusting me and help me into the needed positions (because my belly gets in the way sometimes) they really know how to work with expectant mommas!
the experience is very professional and very friendly.
Quick and informative
The truth is, this is the ONLY chiropractor practice I trust. They are honest, thorough, gentle and seem to really care.
Top quality service, friendly yet professional
Always thoroughly professional, but friendly, attentive and helpful, the receptionists go out of their way to immediately make you feel welcome and this continues through the massage and the adjustment. Dr. Crisp and her Interns make time to actually "listen" and are so knowledgeable and happy to answer questions and advise. Convenient location and the offices are very stylish but comfortable. Can't really say enough good things about New Beginnings both at the Keller office and the Downtown office. And Dr. Crisp is amazing!
Best Chiropractor in Town!
The best chiropractic office in town from the front office, to the decor, to the knowledge about chiropractic, and even to the massage therapy! They are extremely kid friendly, play GREAT music, and get you in for an appointment right away. The doctors are very clear about care plans and any recommendations you may need. I am extremely satisfied with New Beginnings Family Chiropractic!!!
Look forward to going back!
After going to a couple chiropractors I was worried that I wouldn't find someone that would work on my previously reconstructed shoulder. My chiropractor was very knowledgeable and explained everything that was happening and what would be done next. The staff in the lobby were inviting and the place looks like an HGTV set. I will definitely be bringing my twin 4 year olds here and my wife as well.
Muscle therapy/cupping
Very attentive therapist. Not only did she pay close attention to my areas of concern, she further evaluated additional areas which would be causing additional discomfort. It was a nice blend of cupping & muscle release. I go in about every 2 weeks. My daily pain levels have dramatically decreased.
Welcoming, helpful, and friendly!
All of the doctors, interns and staff are wonderful at New Beginnings. They take time with every patient and make sure that all of your needs are met. I take my two kids there and the staff has helped each of them feel comfortable with chiropractic care. We are healthier and happier be mcause of New Beginnings!
Hopefully soon to be mama
I just had my second adjustment and already feel a huge difference! We review led the findings from my exam and I can honestly say they make a lot of sense, I can correlate issues I've had in the past with what they explained to me today about my body. I'm excited to continually improve and plan to get my husband started. The office is beautiful and functional, its definitely catered towards families but also a great atmosphere for someone who doesn't have kids. The staff is beyond friendly. They have lots of treatment options beyond adjustments so it seems like a one stop shop. The prices are reasonable as far as I know. Will be planning on regular visits.
Very friendly and Courteous/Caring staff.
New patient - just 2 visits. Initial visit was a long wait, but to be expected. 2nd visit not timely, but again, considering length of time Doc spent w/me has to give somewhere. I am impressed.
High quality professional services
High quality professional services right from the reception through to the chiropractor. Facility introduction tour is definitely a plus too!! I loved the ambiance and I started feeling much better after my first alignment!! I love they are also Christian, really felt at home away from home!
High quality service!
I was a little hesitant to go to the Chiropractor while pregnant because I had no idea of all the amazing benefits, but I'm so glad I did! The staff is very friendly and welcoming. I was also amazed by how kid friendly it is. Now my toddler can have fun while mommy gets to feel good at the same time!
Beyond expectations
After moving to the Fort Worth area I was convinced I would never find another chiropractor who would compared to our chiropractor in East Texas. A great consultation and an adjustment that my body has not experienced in many years. I would highly recommend her.
I received chiropractic care and a massage. I feel so much better and everyone was caring and professional.
High quality seevice
Everyone from front desk to Dr Hays was friendly and professional. My neck felt great after my adjustment. Thanks to Dr. Hays!
Great team!!
We absolutely love Dr. Emily and all the staff at New Beginnings!! They have helped me through my pregnancy and now that my son is born Dr. Emily has helped with breastfeeding latching and also with my sons alignment through adjustment. Very thankful for the great team at New Beginnings!
Very welcoming.
My first thought was that, this wasnt just a dr's Office but a community. Very inviting and kind. You can tell new beginings truly cares for your over all well being and that is very refreshing. I am a self pay patient and am still in a bit of shock at how affordable they are.They are gospel centered, and that is something I am always proud to support and be a part of.
High quality, friendly, very professionl
This was my first time to the clinic and I was amazed! The staff was very friendly and helpful! My back feels much better!
Professional and Friendly
I had to find a new chiropractor since my previous one did not specialize in prenatal adjustments. I have to say that only in 4 appointments, I am extremely happy and feeling 80% better at 31 weeks pregnant. The staff always addresses my specific concerns and never seems rushed to get me out of there. I love that they are kid friendly as well.
10/10 would recommend!
The environment, the service, the people... everything is awesome! They do a great job! And they are kid-friendly!
Great place
I love new beginnings the staff is amazing friendly attentive to your needs from the front office to the doctors and therapist. I love dr Amanda and dr Emily and Ernie and latasha give some great massages
Love you guys!
But... I specifically asked for the doctor that I saw first (feel terrible that I can't remember the name), but the one with straight long blond hair. Instead I started with Dr. Emily, who was lovely, but didn't know any of my history - then was put in a room to watch a video about why you should see a chiropractor and that any price wasn't too much... kind of a bummer. Then... was adjusted by a man - who again was perfectly nice, but not who I asked to see. Also, during check in had to answer a LOT of questions about my mental status (which I have never done) and then was never addressed. While I'm griping... (so sorry about this) I REALLY don't like how the "rooms" where you are adjusted are open to everyone! It's really uncomfortable. I get it, you guys are really targeting a younger (and often with child) clientele - and I think that's awesome, but I'm not sure that this is the place for me anymore - which makes me really sad, because I've always been apprehensive about chiropractic care and you all were my first and I really felt comfortable before. 😥
Caring team
They make you feel like family from the moment you walk in. Good service and fair prices. I would prefer a more private setting when visiting with the doctors.
Love, Love, Love
Love this office, especially Dr. Amanda and Dr. Emily. They are great with me, my adult daughter and my brand new grandson. They listen well to the clients and care about their overall health.
They are always awesome at adjustments and make us feel like family!
The staff from check-in to checkout were quite professional and considerate of me and my condition. They were diligent to assess and treat me. I look forward with confidence that they will get me up and moving.
My husband Ismael and I are very excited with his appointment Friday and looking forward to Mondays appointment we have through a rough time since his accident that we just wish he get is physical and mental health back and I peace it's been very hard on my family so we are looking forward for his plan of treatment at your office we can tell you care about your clients
So thankful for this incredible team
Dr Crisp and her team at New Beginnings have helped me work through so many aches and pains. I started seeing her when I was pregnant and every step of the way the New Beginnings team has been a vital component of my wellness plan. They are friendly, knowledgeable and really good! Thank you Dr Crisp for many years of great service!
Treat you like family!
As always, we had an excellent experience. The wait times are short. Everyone is usually friendly. You can tell that each and every employee care about everyone and respect each other. They have a kid room and things for your children to be entertained. Most businesses can only dream of having this type of atmosphere. They have done it well!
Dr Amanda is great, she gave me a wonderful adjustment, then I used the massage chair which let me relax before starting my busy day.
Friendly and very informative
I have gone here a few times this month and it has made a world of a difference! I went from thinking I was always having a heart attack and doctors telling me I'm basically insane to finding out the whole time I've just had ribs out of place. Not being in horrible rib pain everyday is amazing!
The experience was outstanding. Susan meet us outside after I called in for assistance in finding the office. The office staff assisted in checking in. And Dr. Emily was very good at adjusting and providing information to help the body restore. Thank You
It was a very nice place, everybody are friendly and professional.
Yesterday was my first time back to see Dr Emily in months and I was in so much pain when I got there and after seeing Dr Emily I could immediately feel relief and today I can feel a huge difference! I can't say enough good things about this office! The new office is gorgeous and so welcoming! I highly recommend NB for any aches and pains you may have! I whole heartedly believe that chiropractic care is essential for good health! Thank you Dr Emily!!!
A knowledgeable chiropractor
My experience was wonderful-Dr Chandra Crisp and staff made me feel special and welcome. She was very informative and professional and I felt confident about being treated by her.
Very friendly and professional
I am a new patient not only to this practice but to chiropractic in general. They made me feel smart, knowledgeable and answered all of my questions. They were very friendly and made me feel at ease. Amazing time. Definitely going back.
Top qualify service
I have been visiting New Beginnings Family Chiropractic for adjustments following an auto accident while pregnant. Since the first visit, all staff were professional and friendly. During the first visit, a staff gave a thorough tour of the center and explained procedures to follow. The center has family friendly atmosphere and provides play area for children, so for those who have young children could bring their little ones to their appointments and not worry. I truly enjoy the level of the service I receive and I would recommend this place to anyone who is in need of chiropractic treatment.
Very friendly and helpful staff Excellent chiropractic Dr. Amanda. Beneficial adjustments Left feeling alot better than when I went in.
Love the office and staff!
I have been using New Beginnings since my first pregnancy. Now that I'm on my second there is no other place I'd go. I get great care with my adjustments and wonderful massages. The staff is quick to respond to my needs and are great about getting to know me and my family.
great customer service! affordable! life changing!
Let me first just say, I was really scared to take my 3 month old baby to a chiropractor! This experience has been absolutely wonderful. Heaven is great with our baby. She is so sweet and gentle, nothing like what I thought chiropractic was going to be. We loved that she was experienced in not just adults, but infants too! We went in to get help with neck stiffness and we were concerned with the flatness starting on our baby's head. She has done only 3 treatments and everyone around can notice a huge improvement in our baby! I would definitely recommend this place! They are amazing! Plus she understood when my baby spit up all over her eeekk! Sorry again about that!
Couldn't ask for better service with my 9 month old!
From the moment we walked into the building, we were greeted with a smile! Great service, lovely and peaceful environment, even had extra diapers and wipes for us to use since we forgot to restock the diaper bag! Dr. Amanda was fantastic with our little guy! Even got a follow up phone call a few hours later to see how he tolerated his adjustment. Very professional practice! Can't wait to see the progress he makes with our next visits!
Highly Recommend
There are not enough ways to say how much we love New Beginnings. Each person there is thoroughly competent and professional. Doctors and staff alike are kind and seem to take a genuine interest in us as people. We are not merely patients. The doctors are very good with both children and adults.
Very Thorough Excellent Service
I called with a same day new patient appointment and they not only got me in to see a chiropractor, but they also did a thorough exam of my ailments, took me for a tour of their beautiful facility and provided me with a chiropractic pregnancy adjustment. Everyone was so friendly and kind and they explained everything they were doing every step of the way! Not only that, but they are a child friendly, Christian oriented business which makes ALL the difference! I would HIGHLY recommend you go!
High quality chiropractic care
Let me begin by saying the moment my baby and I walked in we were welcomed with quality care. It is beautiful and great atmosphere. They were very understanding of my little ones stranger danger. My little girl is 5 months old and needs very specific care for her spinal growth. Dr Amanda was truly knowledgeable and spent time making sure every need was met. I will recommend New Beginnings to every one.
A+ for Effort and Kindness
Everyone in the office (doctors and staff) have helped to make my 14-monrh old son comfortable and enjoy his visits. Today was the first time he smiled and babbled during his appointment rather than scream. I am very thankful they have kept working hard to make him happy and secure. Also, his torticollis seems to be getting much better after only a few visits.
Amazing customer service
My family and I have been going for a few months now and we love it. Everyone is so sweet and nice all the time! Feels like a family when you are there! Can't say enough good things about this place! Went in one day for myself and said something about my son having trouble turning his head. The dr took a look at him for me and adjusted him because she felt a problem! Love that she was so willing to help us right then and there, not just send us away to make an appointment for him later! Needless to say my son and I both go now!
6yr old new patient
Since my daughter was born I could feel her back wasn't 100% straight. It was a gentle curve, but my untrained hand just KNEW it wasn't right. We moved a lot, so I took her to every new pediatrician we had and they always told me they couldn't diagnose until she was in 5th grade and had the screening in school. They gave me no other alternative ideas either. I had started coming to New Beginnings the week before spring break, so this week I brought my kids with me and offhandedly mentioned about my daughter and her back. The practitioner offered to take a quick peek at her and he could immediately feel the curve. They have created a plan for treatment and are confident her spine can be corrected. I'm so relieved to finally have people who are willing and capable to correct her spine BEFORE she ever reaches the 5th grade!
Beyond Impressed
I have been going to chiropractors for 22 yrs. Most of the time it's " get the adjustment" and leave until today. I have never been so impressed. The staff were very professional and the Dr. was superb!! She took the time to explain my issue and has a plan to help. I would recommend ANYONE to go here for chiropractic work. I'm looking forward to my next appointment.
New Patient
I visited this morning for the first time. The staff immediately welcomed me, taking the time to come around the desk to shake my hand and give me a tour of the office. The exam itself was great. The doctor explained everything and made sure I was comfortable before proceeding.
High quality service
Extremely friendly and welcoming. The doctor took her time in asking all the prevelant questions about current and past injuries or mis comfort in order to help me more effeciently. After only one session I can already feel a huge difference in the way I feel.
Excellent Staff
I was very impressed! Staff is very friendly, caring and helpful. Went in for severe neck for almost 3 weeks. Primary care prescribed medication that did nothing for it. 2 visits and feeling a difference.
Enjoyable In Every Way
From the staff, to the interior and the quality of care, this is the type of place you can recommend without any hesitations. I thoroughly enjoy my visits. Joe
Great service
They are expert at health improvement. I always have a great expirence at New Begginings!!!
Great people
Doctor Emily and Ernie are the best. They both have great hands and can work magic.
Outstanding first visit to a chiropractor
My first visit to a chiropractor went outstanding. Dr. Brooke Halboth came out into the waiting area to greet me and gave me a tour of their office. Dr. Halboth was very personable and explained everything very clearly regarding what was likely causing my symptoms and her treatment plan. She spent lots of time with me and I walked out already feeling better after my adjustment. I am looking forward to my follow up appointment next week and would highly recommend Dr. Halboth to anyone that needs a chiropractor.
Fantastic service and people!
My husband, son, and I have been going here since I was pregnant with my on last year and we just love everyone here! Everyone from the front desk to all the doctors and assistants have all been wondeful!
My experience w/ New Beginnings was great. From the time I checked in, until leaving, everyone was very attentive, kind, helpful and friendly. I will return.
Amazing Staff Beautiful Facility!
My experience with NBFC was extraordinary! Susanne was so awesome over the phone by going above and beyond to fit me into their busy schedule. I was hurting badly and almost 7 months pregnant so it was much appreciated. Liz at the front desk was also very kind and helped me to understand how everything worked. Another sweet lady, I never received her name, but she put in the effort to make sure my insurance covered my visit. When you're on a budget with a growing family its nice to know y'all cared about me financially. Dr. Emily was super thoughtful and understanding. She was personable and professional all at once. I loved how beautiful the facility was and how family friendly everything was as well. I feel so much better and look forward to my next appointment. Y'all are awesome!
You guys are great
All was great feel better, thanks
A must-have for expectant mamas...
I am pregnant with my first child and was referred for chiropractic care by my midwives, my doula, and my birth coach. Due to finances we weren't able to start chiro care until about 35 weeks, but I'm so thankful for the blessing of this service! I've had all my visits thus far with Dr. Heaven, who is just wonderful and so attentive. I appreciate how well she explains everything and provides proactive steps that I can take at home to increase the value of my adjustments. Baby has stayed in a great position for a natural delivery, and I've had a ton of relief from back aches, hip numbness, rib pain, and more. They're so easy to work with and I appreciate the genuine care they show for their patients. It never feels like an assembly line. (I've been seen exclusively at the Mistletoe location, which is really nice and has a spacious parking lot.) Can't recommend enough, and we look forward to bringing in our newborn to keep him well after the birth.
Always a good visit
The staff is knowledgeable and friendly. Appointment times are kept and I always walk put feeling much better than when I walked in.
Professional and very friendly
Dr. Emily is so nice and professional. On my first visit I got everything I expected and more. I was able to fill out paper work online before I went in to help save myself some time and stress of wrangling my kids in the waiting room- however, they did have kid books, toys and a movie playing for their entertainment. I am definitely going back. After my first adjustment my neck and back were tender but felt MUCH better!
Friendly, efficient service
The receptionist and doctor were very friendly and efficient with my New Patient interview and first time adjustment. Will go again for them to explain the results of X-Rays and other diagnostic procedures and a treatment plan.
Great with baby
Had a visit to have my 4 month old checked out due to him not turning his head to the right and favoring the left side. The office staff and chiropractor were great. Him not tuening his head was causing him to get a flat spot so we brought him in. They were very nice with him and explained everything they were doing so I'd be comfortable. While getting adjusted he started to get fussy and they kindly waited for him to calm down while I held him. When we got to one point he really wasn't sure about she suggested nursing him while she did it and he calmed down and almost fell asleep while being adjusted. We are hoping that withe his follow ups he will continue to improve his right side and even by the time we made it home 15ish minutes he was sound asleep turning his head to the right!
Friendly, thorough, caring office
I have seen a wide array of doctors and Dr Crisp and her staff are very thorough, caring, friendly and one of a kind. I highly recommend this office to everyone!! I myself like them so much and I am driving 40 miles one way to see Dr Crisp. I can't say enough nice things about this office. You won't be disappointed.
First visit, great experience.
Staff was welcoming and friendly. Dr. Emily was very informative and took the time to really explain what was causing my problem. Never felt rushed or like there was a hurry to get to the next patient. I felt so much better after the visit.
We are so thankful to have such an amazing chiropractor office so close to our home. Tasha and Dana are always so good with my boys and we love Dr. Emily. We highly recommend this office and all the drs.!!
Really good. Excellent massage and most beneficial prior to the adjustment. Doctors are very reassuring, gentle but very professional and I feel that they really 'listen' to what I am saying. Already feeling so much better after only a few visits.
Nice staff, good results
I saw one of the chiropractic interns and was very pleased. He was knowledgeable, listened to my issues and helped relieve my pain. The office staff was friendly and the office itself was clean and nice.
This was my first appointment and adjustment with NB. I was extremely pleased with the amount of time and patience the doctors had with me. I would definately refer them to anyone! Looking forward to many more!
office visit - adjustment
wonderful service prompt and always friendly
Always great during adjustments. Never have to wait. Feel great after
Quality and Curtious
Wonderful front desk! I love Dr. Emily! All the chiropractors are very knowledgeable, and are great at their work. I have recommended nearly two dozen of my friends and family to this office!
Each time I go I feel progress. Dr Heaven has such a knowledgeable manner and very professional. I always feel confident in her ability to fix my pain.
Very friendly
This was my first visit. Every one I met with was very friendly and explained everything in detail before doing any adjustments.
I was in so much pain (7-9 on the pain scale) I know sometimes you don't get immediate results. Afterwards at first I felt as bad as before I went in, but after a 2 hour nap with heat on my neck, I feel great. Heat and cold did not help before. Now the pain is almost gone!! I know I was messed up for a long time and I'm so pleased to get this much improvement on the first visit!
Love Dr Emily
My soon to be 2 year old has being coming here since he was 7 months old. All the drs here are great but we especially love Dr Emily. My son is so comfortable with her and lets her do big boy adjustments on him. We originally started going here because of chronic ear infections my son was getting. His pediatrician was recommending ear tubes and we wanted an alternative. My coworker let me know about this wonderful place and within just a couple of visits his ear infections had stopped. We are so grateful we found this office!!
Awesome job...awesome people
I love Dr Emily...she is awesome
Best in town
I was not a believer until New Beginnings...THANKS
Looking forward to my next appointment
The staff are all very kind and helpful. The doctors are very efficient and personable. The therapy is thurough and wonderful. The office is very family friendly
Very professional and caring
I have been A patient of Dr. Crisp for 5 years. She is the most knowledgable and experienced chiropractor I have used. The other doctors in the office are also very good. I have referred friends frequently who have been very pleased. Also massage therapy is available and I am very pleased with their services as they work closely with the doctors.
Friendly Staff
This was my first time to visit the office. Everyone was very friendly and helpful from the front desk, billing and doctors. Will be referring my family and friends to this office!
Family Friendly + excellent care= best chiro ever!
We love Dr Emily! She's so perfect with my son. He used to cry and be very upset about getting adjusted, now he just hops up on the table and laughs! He loves Dr Emily and the front desk girls Ms. Tasha and Miss Kelly. He get so excited to see them. It's such a relief knowing my child is and feels safe with not just his chiropractor but with the entire staff. We have both benefited greatly from getting adjustments. My son no longer is on acid re-flux or constipation medication thank to his adjusts and food suggested made by not only Dr Emily but also Dr Crisp(who is also amazing and wonderful!). My fibromyalgia and migraines are under much better control with my adjustments as well. We can't say enough great things about New Beginnings. I was very nervous at first about chiropractic care but they have made me a changed person!
Wonderful and amazing Dr.'s
I was lucky enough to have a friend refer me to New beginnings! I started right after I found out I was pregnant! Everytimeni went in I had a wonderful experience and still do to this day. I am in and out within 10-15 minutes and feel amazing and rejuvenated after each visit. Now that my son is with us, we go together as a family and both continue to stay healthy and aligned!
We Love New Beginnings
New Beginnings is a life saver for my teenage daughter. The doctors and staff are all amazing. We always look forward to the next appointment.
I love this place! All of the doctors are awesome! I walk in feeling all tight with "crunchy" bones and they get everything all straightened out!!
Everyone is always so friendly and will really listen to you. Dr Emily is great and very personal with us. Tasha is always very welcoming and is very helpful!! I love me massages from Kim, She's GREAT!
professional service
Very professional office the staff in the front is awesome Dr. Joe and Dr. Emily are both awesome!
Fast and professional
I checked in as a new patient. They were able to see me within 20 minutes of my arrival which was just enough time to complete paperwork. The Dr. was quickly able to verify my stated issues with a brief physical examination of my back. In just a few minutes, she had me adjusted and even took the time to observe me walking to ensure proper alignment. I was impressed. I'll be back for sure.
Great re- visit with Dr. Brooke
I just recently revisited New Beginnigs after a few years. I have been going to some other Chiropractors and I will have to say that I really liked my visit. I was seen by Brooke, very soon to be Dr. Brooke :). She was great. Not only did she work out alot of my pregnancy pains but she also took time to explain whatis happening in my body. Also I had her answer a few questions about my 5 year old. I had something I asked her about a back issue that I was advised to get an xray for my son by his pediatrician. Obviously I dont want to exposemy child to unnecessary radiation if I dont have to. She advised me that I would not need an xray and explained. what was causing his back issues. Also he had recently had dental work and she was able to test for nerve damage. Overall she put this mamas mind to ease. I really liked her so much. I plan to see her for the rest of my pregnancy and continue care with my other children.
This place is amazing! Highly recommended!
First and foremost, these ladies are fantastic at what they do. It's amazing how they can adjust pregnant women and even try to coax Breech babies into the right position. At my last appointment they found a misalignment in my lower back that I didn't even realize was going on. But, even more importantly, this office has ALWAYS demonstrated the most excellent and friendly customer service I have ever encountered. I WISH I could find a medical doctor's office with this level of attention and compassion to the patient. 2 years ago during a session I had an anxiety attack (I'm on disability for PTSD/Anxiety). They were kind and understanding, took me to a private side room and helped me relax so we could finish the appointment. I've had DOCTORS and NURSES treat me like absolute dog crap for having an anxiety attack, so their caring was greatly appreciated. I live over an hour away and it is more than worth the drive to get here. I would highly recommend this office to anyone.
One of the best office's I have been to all around
We just moved to Texas and on our way here we were in a really bad car accident. I knew I needed to see chiropractor once we got settled but being new to the area I didn't know anyone so I found one on Google and hoped that it was okay. After I visited the other office 2 to 3 times I knew it wasn't what I was wanting and was recommended New Beginnings by a friend I had met who was just raving about it. I made the switch and I'm so glad I did. Immediately walking in their front doors I felt more comfortable. It is a clean, calm and friendly atmosphere. Each person I have dealt with at the front desk was understanding, kind and helpful. Both Brooke and dr. Emily have been absolutely amazing to work with. I have loved my time there and look forward to each appointment now because of the bedside manner, their knowledge and how good of care I have received. I have been to a lot of doctors, dentists and naturopath's in my life and this has been among one of my best experiences. I am so glad I found New Beginnings
The best
Dr.Crisp and Dr.Emily are the best I've been going to them for the last 7 years. I drive an hour each way to see them. My kids love going to the chiropractor it feels like going and seeing family. They are amazing at what they do and can tell that they love their job and their patience!
Feeling Awesome
Dr's were very Professoinal and Knowledgeable. Besides feeling much better after being adjusted, they recommended a massage. Never had one done and I HIGHLY Recommend it. Katelyn was Outstanding.
Outstanding experience
The office has a very welcoming vibe that we felt comfortable waiting in. Each person we spoke with from the women in the office to the assistant and chiropractor, were very knowledgable and friendly. We were pleased with the experience for our 2 year old daughter who was seen by Dr. Joe, and the entire session went smooth. We are even willing to drive almost an hour for the quality of service!
Nice place, great help! Thank you!
staff was really nice and helpful.
staff was really nice and helpful.
Very good experience, friendly, professional, and a high quality treatment.
The treatment is making a difference.
I was hesitant because this office specializes in pregnancy/childbirth care but I was referred by a friend that loves it and is not pregnant nor looking to be and I'm glad I went! VERY friendly office staff, the office atmosphere is chaotic but in in a good way! If you're looking for a quiet zen like atmosphere (except for the massage area) this place is not for you, but if you want good care without high pressure tactics to get you in 800 times a month and an office that obviously celebrates life and everything that entails..... then this is your place!
Qualified, Professional and Friendley
Matthew's treatments seem to be completed, with return visit for fallow up. Mind have just started. I feel more freedom in my neck.
Very professional..excellent set up.
Thanks, Joe.
High quality, Friendly
Matthew and I are always very satisfied with the care we receive from your clinic. Matthew's neck seems to be improving, and back seems straighter.
High quality, Friendly
Good and helpful
Very Effective
Loved Dr. Crisp! My other beloved chiropractor had not been able to get my hip to stay in alignment. Dr. Crisp worked very hard, and yes, for the first time in months it is no longer "stuck" in a bad spot. Thank you!
Excellent service, friendly and personalbe people.
I have always been very leery of Chiropractic services. Today changed my whole outlook. At the end of this first visit, many of my fears were put to rest. I find that I'm looking forward to working with the doctors and reaching a better and more active lifestyle. I'm looking forward to my next visit. Go figure!
Very good experience, friendly, professional, and a high quality treatment.
My grandson Matthew and I are very confident that his over all health will improve with the treatments that he will be receiving in the weeks to come. Dr. Joe is friendly, skilled in making adjustments and is painless. He has given us a plan to work on at home to help keep the things aligned from day to day. Trish was helpful, professional, and greeted us with a smile.
Great care and support
Our poor 9 year old has been in horrible pain for around 11 days, unable to look up and limited range of motion for neck movements. We've seen several doctors and specialists and each has had a different recommendation, but none have given her any relief. Dr. Crisp worked with our daughter today and now for the first time in 11 days, she is able to look up and move side to side. Thank you Dr. Crisp! We are forever grateful for your help and your wonderful attention to detail! Thanks also for helping our daughter feel more like a 9 year old...it's great to see her smile again!!!
Great for the whole family
I just brought my 2 month old in for an adjustment and Dr. Emily is so gentle and thorough. My baby slept through most of the treatment, as happy as a clam! I also received unbelievable relief from back pain through adjustments and therapeutic massage during pregnancy. They are great sources of information and provide preventative and corrective care for the whole family. The office staff is wonderful too! We are so glad we were recommended here!
I absolutely love this place!
I visit this office often to be adjusted while pregnant and between pregnancies over the last three years. I also have my children adjusted as well (3year old and 1year old since infancy). All three doctors are awesome with children and preggers. I always recommend them to my friends and with any ache or complaint my running joke is, "my chiropractor can fix that"
Great service, friendly staff, long lasting benefits!
My family is never dissatisfied with the quality at Dr. Crisp's office. Everyone is professional but friendly and most of them are like family! I've been seeing her for years and am so excited my little family goes now too!
Great Service
I have been in a lot of pain after several surgeries and long stays in the hospital. The chiropractor was gentle yet effective. I left standing up straight and without pain for the first time in months!
Dr Emily is very nice and helped me out and answered all my questions.
I was very pleased with professional and friendly way I was treated, on time, very helpful with registering.
It was my first time it kind of hurt I really didn't know what to expect but everyone was very nice and friendly dr crisp wAs very good with me.
Family Friendly
Family friendly environment!! Dr. Emily and Dr. Chandra are great, they all are! They even offer massage, which is excellent as well. I love that my 15 month old can go here! Everyone is so kind and helpful. They always go above and beyond, Tausha at the front of house is awesome! We are excited and relieved to have found an office full of wonderful people that truely care about your well being.
Wonderful with My Little One
Dr. Emily is by far the best pediatric Chiro around. Dr. Emily plays with my baby and talks to her just like she would her own child. My baby barely notices she's getting adjusted when Dr. Emily plays with her. I can definitely tell a difference when my baby has seen Dr. Emily: she sleeps through the night, is much happier and is more playful and animated. She isn't as fussy during the nights and I notice her digestion is balanced again as she doesn't get tummy aches as often. Dr. Emily takes her time to make sure my baby is properly adjusted and happy before leaving her office. I love that my baby isn't just a dollar sign or a number. Highly recommended.
On my first appointment
at New Beginnings, I knew from the get-go this would be a longterm relationship. Top-ticket staff, could sense everyone cherished their work and their patients. I met with Dr. Joe Kennedy. Not a pompous or self-important bone in his body, but in forty-five minutes he convinced every bone in my body to stop bullying each other. When backing out of my parking space after the appointment, I realized my neck allowed the rest of my head to turn farther in either direction. Don't recall that happening since the Cowboys won their last Superbowl.
Service, Friendly and Professional
I absolutely love Dr Crisp and her staff. Courteous and friendly when I walk into the door. Knowing me by name and greeting me, ask how I'm feeling. During the treatments Dr. Crisp took time and listened to what I had to say regarding my history with lower back pain. This is by far the best chiropractic experience I have ever had. I am extremely grateful to all of them for getting me in and making me feel 100% better then the initial visit when I couldn't even walk well. Thank you again for all you do Dr. Crisp and staff:)
Extremely knowledgable
I have taken my 6 week old in three times to be adjusted and have received more helpful reflux information and answers from Dr. Crisp than my pediatrician! She is such a great resource when I have questions or concerns. Dr. Emily was so gentle with my newborn during his first adjustment that he almost fell asleep (he is usually very fussy). She gave me helpful tips regarding his reflux and sleep habits. I'm extremely grateful!
Dr. Joe
What a great addition to an already grest staff.
Very Friendly & High Quality Service.
Everyone is the office is very friendly. My wife and I bring out son to get infant adjustment and have gotten adjusted ourselves because the service is very expert. We drive almost an hour just because we trust the staff and feel confident in their abilities.
Excellent Care; Compassionate People
I am pregnant with twins and just switched from another chiropractor to New Beginnings. I have loved everyone I have seen so far, including the massage therapists. They have helped immensely with my back pain, and I know they will continue to support me throughout my entire pregnancy. My husband has also been coming here (even before I started coming) and loves everyone. He feels the massage therapists can actually give him the deep sports-massage he needs.
Great Friendly staff! It's truly a wonderful Office.
Well-Rounded, Great Service
The office was clean, the facilities were well-kept. The secretary and other staff members were very kind and attentive, and the adjustment was amazing! Definitely coming back!
Wonderful Family Atmosphere, Care, and Knowledge.
I have a chiropractor who works about ten minutes from my home. Instead of going back to him for adjustments, I prefer to drive an hour and a half just to see Dr. Emily. Not only is she knowledgeable about prenatal chiropractic care, she is gentle, relaxing, and very attentive. You are never just a number or another dollar earned. The staff takes great care to answer any and all questions. Everyone who works there has a great relationship with each other and takes the time to get to know you. Dr. Emily helped me to flip my breech baby by keeping my body aligned and suggesting different sleep positions, and techniques to naturally encourage my baby to flip to where she needed to be. Two visits later, my baby was in the correct position for 37 weeks along. Dr. Emily definitely has impressed me with her knowledge and care. I'm a fan for life!
The Quality In Care for Patient's is Awesome!
This is the BEST experience I have ever had at a Chiropractor's office. This was my first visit, and it exceeded my expectations. There is Quality in the health care provided. Everyone was nice, friendly, and courteous.
It's always a pleasure! The staff are friendly and efficient and Dr. Crisp has a wonderful amount of knowledge concerning health and development for kiddos that she is always wiling to share. I believe that my boys are healthier and that I'm able to make more educated decisions for my babies after going to Dr. Crisp. I highly recommend their service!
Great with kids and adults.
New Beginnings takes care of my son, husband and myself. They do a great job working and being patient with my little one.
Professional, Friendly, Quick, and Easy Appt!
Came to see Dr. Crisp this morning and had a great visit! The front desk attendees are so kind and thorough and the appointment process was so simple! I actually called in this morning and was able to come a few hours later. Dr. Crisp was very knowledgeable, friendly, and professional. I always feel so much better when I leave that place, as well as the continuing days after! I highly recommend!
The staff was very kind and helpful.
Efficient office, great care!
Greer has been in a couple of times to see Dr. Crisp and she has been great with her paying attention to every detail when treating her! We will continue to see her!
It had been years since I have seen a chiropractor, however I feel the experience I had The Wellness Chriropractic Clinic was exceptional! The staff is so kind and courteous. Dr. Emily really took time to listen to my problem. After just one treatment I feel so much better! Thanks or alleviating the pain that I have had. I look forward to continuing your services! Again, many thanks to you and your staff
Great service!
Massage therapist Ricky is awesome so is Dr. Emily. Receptionists friendly. Little waiting.
We were very pleased with our experience! She was gentle and sensitive to the feelings of our 4 year old! Thank you for your time and suggestions!
patient for life
Great experience. Will be going back and taking my son
I came to a chiropractor with a VERY SLANTED view of them...in a few short months, I can walk straight and without a limp thanks to the wonderful people here...Thanks Dr Emily and ALL of you at my new favorite place, NOW only once a month...
My Experience at New Beginnings Chiropractic
My experience at New Beginnings Chiropractic has been very positive. I have seen improvement in my pain level. Everyone in the office is gracious and helpful.
divine massage
Ricky and Emily rock!
Love Amber! Her massages are really helping me heal!
Great with my kids
We came in for my babies CST and adjustment, afterwards she was so calm. I highly recommend this doctor!

WORCESTER, Mass. - MIT lightweight men's crew sent three boats to the EARC Rowing Championships on Lake Quinsigamond Sunday afternoon. For the first time in over 10 years, both the varsity and freshmen eights finished in the top 10 in their races.
"It is great to part of a program that is moving in such a positive direction," said head coach Ted Benford. "Our student athletes have made a determined effort to compete at the EARC level. We are looking forward to continuing the progress made this year."
The Engineers' varsity finished fourth in the Petite Final to take 10th overall. Georgetown won the race with a time of 6:31.86, while Harvard followed in 6:37.06 and Penn was third in 6:44.91. The Hoyas had a quick start and took charge of the race early. MIT, Harvard and Pennsylvania battled for the next 400 meters with Harvard establishing itself solidly in 2nd place. Penn and MIT then traded seats for last 600 meters with Penn holding off a late charge by the Engineers to take third.
The first freshman also finished fourth in the Petite Final, and 10th overall, with a time of 6:26.02. The crew overcame an early deficit to pass Dartmouth before the half-way mark. The final 800 meters was contested between Columbia, Pennsylvania and MIT, which was making a charge in the final 500 meters. Tech continued to move into the contest for second place, but ran out of race course as they finished just over a length down.
Freshman coach Andy Hilton summarized the race for the young Engineers. "The guys felt they culminated their season with their best race of the spring. That translated into defeating a crew by nine seconds who had bested them in the dual season by 2.1 seconds. I look forward to seeing them carry that momentum into next year at the varsity level."
The second freshman 8+ raced to a sixth place finish in their first championship racing experience. The MIT lights now prepare for the IRA National Championships in Camden, N.J., on Saturday, June 7.

Watched a few movies this week:
American Splendor - enjoyable, better than expected. Paul Giamatti is an excellent actor.
Collatoral - Entertaining, Cruise was good, didn't really grab my attention though.
Still yet to watch a movie I didn't enjoy.
I think the fact that Cruise didn't grab your attention says it all about what a refreshing change his performance was in Collateral. He wasn't playing the kid from Risky Business grown up like he normally does...

I just now watched Munich on DVD. Very well done - great performances by the cast as whole, but particularly by Eric Bana and Geoffrey Rush. I thought Speilberg did a very good job of depicting the fact that both sides of the conflict feel they are in the right, yet both end up doing quite awful things. Certainly made me think during it, and I suspect over the coming days. 9/10 for me.
Watched that last night as well. One of the best films i've seen.Originally Posted by Matt79

Nantucket Home with a Quiet Palette
The relaxed elegance and soft palette of a Nantucket beach house play into the island's nickname
It was easy for Connecticut-based Jane and Soren Sorensen to fall for the historic island of Nantucket, a crescent-shape slip of land some 30 miles off Cape Cod. The couple strolled the island's cobblestone streets during their courtship, summered on its sandy beaches as newlyweds, and even owned a small place there after their daughters were born.
"Everything melts away when you hop aboard that mainland ferry and get off on Nantucket," Jane says. "It's a charming, magical place that exists outside our crazy daily lives. Whenever we're there, we're always doing something low-key as a family, whether it's biking, scalloping, or simply picnicking at the beach."
The Sorensens bought 1.4 acres on the island back in 2012 after deciding to build a compound there—a retreat large enough to accommodate their family (the girls are 12, 15, and 17) as well as host extended family and close friends.
"We found we were spending more and more time on the island—and not just in the summer," Jane says.
The fairy tale that culminated in the five-bedroom beach house with pristine landscaping also had a storybook beginning, with one chapter leading to another. The Sorensens' real-estate agent referred them to Matthew MacEachern and his architectural design firm. Through MacEachern, they met local builder Edward Toole, whose sister Cynthia Hayes is an interior designer.
"It was kismet," Jane says. "The team was so interconnected, with these layered relationships. They'd all worked together before, had strong ties to Nantucket, and really understood the island. It just felt right."
Jane and Soren Sorensen built the Shingle-style Nantucket beach house to accommodate year-round family gatherings.

Living Room
That was a perfect scenario for the Sorensens, who wanted a casual yet sophisticated beach house that blended with the island's vernacular architecture. They envisioned a contemporary airy-and-bright open floor plan that seamlessly flowed outdoors.
When it was time to decorate, Hayes and her colleague, Pamela Manchester, conferred closely with the homeowners, beginning with the decision to choose a palette that would complement the fresh take on the home's neoclassical architecture.
The team chose transitional furniture with clean-lined silhouettes, ideal for informal yet stylish family life. A striéd wood coffee table sets the tone in the living room, which features a long linen-blend sofa facing two Ultrasuede armchairs that swivel so family or guests can also watch a TV on an adjacent wall. A pair of patterned X-benches with wrought-iron legs can be moved around as needed.
"We like to do our big pieces in neutrals but add pops of color and pattern in smaller furnishings that can be changed with time," Hayes says. "We also favor punches of strong black to lend sharp definition to and contrast with all the lighter colors. For example, in the kitchen, the wooden bar stools are painted black, but the table is stark white."
A metallic light fixture sits snugly against the coffered ceiling so as not to interfere with the limestone fireplace wall. The ceiling and trim are painted in a Benjamin Moore white, which contrasts subtly against the "White Dove" used on the walls. A striated gray woven linen rug from Rustigian Rugs provides definition to the seating area. Meanwhile, a pair of French doors makes for easy passage onto the back deck.

White paneled cabinetry characterizes the kitchen, along with a large island with a granite countertop. A rustic wood beam separates the eat-in nook from the rest of the kitchen.

Breakfast Area
"I arranged all the primary living spaces—living, dining, and kitchen—in a linear assembly, with direct correlation to the backyard's pool, pergola, and patio," says MacEachern.
Breezy rows of French doors open off the living and dining rooms, while the kitchen terminates in an eat-in bay where sunlight streams in through double-hung windows.

Light and Bright Dining
"To prevent the floor plan from becoming a large, undefined space, we introduced separation via columns, half-walls, and pilasters," MacEachern says. "There are also different ceiling treatments—like the coffered ceiling above the dining room—helping the transition from one space to the next."
A mix of materials, including a limestone feature wall in the living room, salvaged ceiling beams, and white oak floors, adds textural interest against pale white walls.
The designers made practical choices in dining room furnishings, both for traffic flow and casual seaside living. The placement and shape of the round dining room table, which comfortably seats eight, leaves plenty of room for someone on the way to the kitchen or backyard. They chose stain-repellent upholstery in the dining room and vinyl seating at the kitchen's banquette, helping to create an overall setting that welcomes damp bathing suits, sandy feet, and even wet and muddy dogs—especially Teddy, the family's Wheaten terrier.
Tufted chairs by Charles Stewart Company gather around a custom-designed dining room table with a dramatic black X-base. A hammered-iron light pendant finished in white paint keeps things airy and bright.

Window Seat
"We didn't want the typical nautical blue, white, and yellow look," Hayes says. "We wanted to choose a scheme that reflected something of Nantucket, so we chose a lot of gray. It can be very gray on Nantucket." Hayes notes that the island's nickname is the "Gray Lady of the Sea" because of the thick fog that often rolls in and swathes the scenery. "We went with those soft gray and sand hues like you'd find at the beach, with pops of purple—Jane's favorite color."
Those lovely gray hues make an appearance on the cozy window seat.

Family Room
"The Sorensens wanted a sophisticated look, but we wanted to make sure it wasn't so sophisticated that it felt like city living," Hayes says. "We deliberately mixed in warmer, rustic, natural elements to balance the cool palette and crisp furnishings."
Sisal and jute rugs achieve that look, along with accent pieces like the living room's handwoven abaca chair and the kitchen's sculptural bamboo light pendant.
Steel cable stair rails lead into the family room, which tucks under the eaves on the second floor landing. A roomy Lee Industries sectional and a pair of linen ottomans with wave stitching from V Rugs and Home provide plentiful room for lounging.

"We love it and are here all the time," Jane says. "Thanksgiving on the island is our latest tradition. We invite family, out-of-town and local friends. We even start the morning with the Nantucket 'turkey plunge' in the ocean—whoever's up for it," she adds with a laugh. "Usually, it's just the kids!"
Jane and Soren enjoy a bicycle built for two.

Be Cautious On Sidewalks
More bicycle accidents occur on sidewalks than in the street. This is because drivers often do not see bicyclists on sidewalks when making turns or exiting driveways. Be alert and ride defensively when you ride on sidewalks. Knowing and following the rules of the road is not enough to keep you from being involved in a crash. Unfortunately, there are drivers who either do not know, understand or follow the rules.

[We are pleased to host this contribution from JI's good friend Patrick Mason, Howard W. Hunter Chair of Mormon Studies at Claremont Graduate University. Dr. Mason holds a PhD in history from Notre Dame University, and his first book, The Mormon Menace: Violence and Anti-Mormonism in the Postbellum South (Oxford UP, 2011), has received great praise. His work can be found, well, everywhere nowadays, and is currently working on (at least) two projects: a volume, co-edited with David Pulsipher, on a distinctive Mormon theology of ethics and peace, as well as a biography of Ezra Taft Benson, which will explore the rise of both Mormonism and the Religious Right. For Part II of his commentary, this time on the ramifications of Romney's loss on Mormonism in general, see his post at Peculiar People.]
The Mormon Moment was good for Mormon Studies. It raised the profile of Mormonism in universities, media outlets, churches, and living room conversations across the country. The fact that a devout Latter-day Saint was a serious contender for the White House made his religion a serious topic of conversation, even for people who find the religion?s faith claims anything but serious. Like it or not, academics, journalists, and public intellectuals learned, Mormonism is a force to be reckoned with.
Even if Mitt Romney didn?t want to talk about Mormonism, it seems like just about everyone else did. That meant that all of a sudden Mormon studies mattered. In their deadline-driven need to quickly digest a completely unfamiliar topic, journalists turned to the ?experts.? Seemingly overnight, in a profession where top scholars can go their entire lives never receiving a single shout-out in a popular news source, Mormon studies practitioners found themselves all over the internet, newspapers, radio, and TV.
Now the moment has passed. The public awareness of Mormonism will not go back to pre-Romney levels, but the calls from the media will return to being few and far between. I have heard some express concern about what this means for the Mormon studies enterprise. What will the passing of media attention mean? Will the funding for programs and chairs dry up? Will journal and university press editors stop accepting, let alone seeking out, Mormon-themed manuscripts?
If Mormon studies atrophies as a scholarly field because the media and public turn their attention elsewhere, then it wasn?t much of a scholarly field to begin with. Academic work should never be driven by the 24-hour news cycle. The legitimacy, solidity, and sustainability of an academic field should not be determined by whether or not it places its people on The Daily Show (no matter how cool that is). African American studies may (or may not) have had a modest boon when Barack Obama was elected, but it did not stake its legitimacy on who resided at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.
The worth of what we do in the academy cannot be measured simply by popularity or media attention. While the Mormon Moment no doubt helped raise a modicum of awareness of and respect for Mormon studies, in the end the field must stand on its own two feet. A Romney win, while providing a fascinating set of data points for scholars to study for years to come, would have been a crutch for the field, with scholarly legitimacy resting on the shifting sands of popular politics.
For the past year, the media was never really all that interested in Mormonism?they were principally (and sometimes exclusively) interested in what made Mitt Romney tick. To at least some degree that dynamic took over the Mormon studies community in the past year. It would have only gotten worse if Romney occupied the Oval Office, thus constraining some of the imaginative, creative, expansive work that Mormon studies needs as it continues to mature. If things had been different on Tuesday, practically every book, article, and conference related to Mormonism for the next four years and beyond would have felt obliged to at least partly refract its topic through the lens of the Romney presidency.
The media plays an essential role in our society, and I believe that academics, when called upon, should cooperate with journalists in the service of public education. But while present concerns always shape our scholarship, current events and the 24-hour media cycle should never set the agenda for academic inquiry.
The research university, as my provost is fond of saying, is one of humankind?s great inventions. At the core of the university is the presumption that certain intellectual and aesthetic pursuits simply have intrinsic worth. They are not worthy because they are tied to politics, or to the latest Broadway hit?they are worthy because they are part of the human experience. At its best the academy protects the human value that we can dedicate ourselves to the study of something simply because we are drawn to it. Some things are just good, some things are just beautiful, some things are just interesting, for no greater reason than they simply are.
We are all indebted to the miraculous results of applied research. But the academy must always preserve and protect the inherent worth of pure research. For the past year or more, Mormon studies has necessarily, and productively, been drawn into the realm of applied research. Insofar as Mormon studies scholars have helped illuminate certain elements of contemporary religion, politics, and culture that were previously shrouded for the vast majority of the populace, this is immensely helpful. But for Mormon studies to thrive, it must retain and clearly articulate a lively sense of its own intrinsic worth. It must continue to ask the big questions about how the study of Mormonism helps illuminate certain aspects of the human condition.
Mormon studies is bigger than any of its individual subjects. A Romney presidency would have held the field intellectually captive in many ways, and thus would have offset any of the other gains that may have been had by sustained media and public attention. No doubt a Mormon in the White House would have had a sustaining legitimizing and popularizing influence. But the short- and long-term success of Mormon studies never depended on the fortunes of one particular political candidate. There are certain research questions that cannot be asked since we will not, for a long time, know what it would look like to have a Mormon in the White House. On the balance, however, Mormon studies scholars and students should recognize that a failed Romney candidacy has permanently raised their profile, however marginally, yet left open the horizons for future scholarship unfettered by the vagaries of the latest Rose Garden news conference. And for that we should be grateful.
