Meds first, surgery last to treat prostate enlargement

EAR DR. ROACH: In a prior column, you discussed an enlarged prostate, or BPH. How does one know if they have BPH or overactive bladder? I wake up three times a night to urinate. I tried Flomax for three weeks, but it did not work. TamsuRoach losin plus finasteride seems risky, having two drugs in one’s system. Why not just get surgery to reduce the prostate and be done with it, rather than relying on two drugs for a lifetime with risks of side effects? — E.M. ANSWER: The symptoms of an enlarged prostate and overactive bladder can look the same in men. Many doctors will give a trial of tamsulosin (Flomax) or similar drug, but if it fails, some simple testing can help to make an accurate diagnosis. Urologists measure urine flow and bladder pressure in order to make the diagnosis for certain. Surgery is not appropriate for overactive bladder symptoms, but if it’s proven that your prostate is the source of the problem, then surgery is one of the many options available. A patient’s personal preference is very important in deciding the best therapy, but surgery is usually reserved for people who do not respond to medication treatments. Surgery itself has the potential for side effects. Some patients’ symptoms worsen after surgery, and many continue to require medications even after surgical treatment. There are a range of alternatives to traditional surgery, a good number of these have a lower risk for side effects. Only a urologist, after a thorough evaluation, can make personalized recommendations, but I advise against rushing to surgery. DEAR DR. ROACH: Will donating blood decrease my immunity during the coronavirus pandemic? I am a healthy 58-year-old female. — P.A. ANSWER: No, the effect on your immune system from donating blood is minuscule. There is still a need for blood donation, and blood donation drives — a big source for blood banks to acquire donors — have been largely canceled. Check with your local blood bank, such as the American Red Cross, about donating. If you are healthy, please consider doing so. DEAR DR. ROACH: A recent column featured a reader’s 75-year-old uncle who experiences burning sensations shortly before and during urination. If a urinary tract infection has, indeed, been ruled out, I would like to suggest an effective oneweek test that the uncle could easily self-administer. Simply eliminate caffeine, alcohol and hot spices for one week to see if the burning sensations subside. I learned this from my urologist years ago, and it’s amazing how often this simple adjustment to diet works for people. — B.P. ANSWER: I thank B.P. for writing. I would also add that sometimes drinking more water can relieve the symptoms, as very concentrated urine can cause burning, and people may consciously or unconsciously drink less to avoid the uncomfortable feeling during urinating. These are easy solutions to try before a more thorough workup should be undertaken. Dr. Roach regrets that he is unable to answer individual letters, but will incorporate them in the column whenever possible.

COLUMNIST I AMY DICKINSON

D

Son Zooms in with a zinger

EAR AMY: When my son “Steven,” came out (a few years ago), I struggled at first. All I want is for him to be in a happy, secure, fulfilling relationship with someone (of whatever gender). However, he recently Zoom-introduced us to his new boyfriend, “Adam.” Adam is HIV-positive. My son announced this on the Zoom call (I didn’t have time to process it), and then became irate when I asked some questions to better understand what that means. I remember the ’80s, and actually had a close friend die from AIDS. My son claims I’m being ignorant, but I was alive during that time — he wasn’t! I’m scared of what will happen if they stay together and have children. Will they have to live the rest of their lives in fear that Adam will accidentally infect the children via a small cut? It seems like the relationship is quite serious, and I’m trying to read up on ways to be supportive. My son is now threatening to cut off contact for a few months if I can’t immediately get on board. I love my son, and Adam seems lovely, too, but I feel anxious about the risk of transmission. I’m not homophobic. I just

need some processing time without the threat of “I’m going to cut you off if you can’t understand that Dickinson love is love” constantly hanging over my head. Am I being unreasonable? — Mom DEAR MOM: You and your son seem to be playing a game of sorts. He tells you that he is gay, and your eventual reaction is that you only want him to be happy with a partner of “whatever gender.” Mom — I have news for you: he has chosen his gender, and it’s not “whatever.” He then introduces you to lovely “Adam” via Zoom and immediately broadsides you with perplexing health news. You quickly leap to the remote improbability that these two will have children and that Adam will infect their children. Whoa! I’ve got a pro-tip that will make your life much easier. If you don’t know what to say or how to react to any given situation — respond only in generalities: “Oh, I see.” “Wow — that caught me off-guard. I don’t really know what to say.” Give yourself time to process things, even if you feel pushed to react.

This is NOT the 1980s. You can read more about HIV, treatments and risks on the CDC website: CDC. gov/hiv/basics. With antiretroviral therapy, people with HIV can reduce the viral load enough that it is considered to be undetectable. That is a lifesaving medical advance. You should ask your son (as carefully as possible) about his own health — this might be his way of trying to tell you that he also has HIV. DEAR AMY: My oldest sister (83) has talked about her first love (“Fred”). They dated for over a year when she was 20, but he broke up with her. She was devastated. She eventually got married and had two children. She got divorced from her husband because he was abusive. She’s mentioned many times that maybe she could find Fred and call him. Kiddingly, I said maybe I can find where he is by searching the internet. She asked me if I could. This was a couple months ago, and she hasn’t asked me about it since. However, I did find Fred. Unfortunately, he passed away a number of years ago. My other sister said I should tell our older sister what I found. I don’t agree. What’s the point at this stage of her life? Let her

think about him if it gives her happy thoughts. I think telling her would make her very sad, but should she know the truth? — Undecided Sister Dear Undecided: I think that you should tell your sister the truth, supplying any information about “Fred” that you have. Of course, she will be sad! You should abide with her through her sadness, and if she wants to muse about “what might have been,” then you should be with her through that, too. DEAR AMY: I mainly agreed with your advice to “Quarantine Nervous Nellie,” until you suggested that she could report her partying neighbors to their town’s tip line. That tip line is for important matters, not for one neighbor to report on another! — Upset DEAR UPSET: I don’t like the idea of neighbors policing each other, but actually, I think this is exactly what these local COVID tip lines are for.

China is vulnerable to another COVID-19 wave, top adviser warns China still faces the “big challenge” of a potential second wave of COVID-19 infections, the country’s top respiratory authority has warned, with lack of immunity a serious concern as the race to develop a vaccine continues. Dr. Zhong Nanshan, the Chinese government’s senior medical adviser, also confirmed in an exclusive interview with CNN on Saturday that local authorities in Wuhan, the city where the novel coronavirus was first reported in December, had suppressed key details about the magnitude of the initial outbreak. China has reported more than 82,000 coronavirus cases, with at least 4,633 deaths, according to data from the country’s National Health Commission. Having now largely contained the virus, life in China is slowly returning to normal. Lockdowns have eased and some schools and factories have reopened across the country. But fresh clusters of coronavirus cases have emerged across China in recent weeks, in Wuhan as well as the northeastern provinces of Heilongjiang and Jilin.

Rwandan genocide suspect captured in Paris suburb after decades on the run One of the last key suspects in the Rwandan genocide has been captured in a Paris suburb after more than 20 years on the run. Félicien Kabuga, “one of the world’s most wanted fugitives” who is alleged to have been a leading figure in the 1994 genocide against Tutsi and moderate Hutus in Rwanda, was arrested Saturday in a joint operation with French authorities, the United Nations said in a statement. The 84-year-old was living under a false identity in a flat in Asnières-Sur-Seine, a Paris suburb, according to a news release from the public prosecutor and regional police. “The arrest of Félicien Kabuga today is a reminder that those responsible for genocide can be brought to account, even 26 years after their crimes,” said Serge Brammertz, prosecutor of the International Residual Mechanism for Criminal Tribunals, a UN agency.

Arbiters of the French language say ‘COVID’ is grammatically feminine For months, the people of France have faced an énigme. Was COVID-19, the new coronavirus tearing across the globe, masculine or feminine? Grammatically speaking, that is. In practical terms, should the French use a “le” or a “la” before the disease’s name? Now, the group charged with preserving the French language has spoken. COVID-19, the Académie Française decided, is assuredly feminine, despite its increasingly common usage with the masculine article. Whether or not the French will actually give up “le COVID” for “la COVID” remains to be seen. Either way, most people likely want to quickly bid “adieu” to the disease, no matter the article. — From wire reports

Beaches reopen as states gear up for Memorial Day By Ralph Ellis And Madeline Holcombe CNN

With Memorial Day and the unofficial start of summer approaching, Americans flocked to the beaches on Saturday and appeared to heed social-distance warnings for the most part. In Ocean City, New Jersey, sun lovers stretched out on the sand while a loudspeaker on the boardwalk blasted a reminder every 15 minutes: “Please remember to practice social distancing while walking the boardwalk and beach. Thank you for respecting this request.” All New Jersey beaches will open next weekend for the Memorial Day holiday, but Ocean City is taking a “dry run” to see how well people respect the social distancing rules. Video shot on the boardwalk showed most people staying six feet apart but few people wearing masks — though masks are not legally required. Chuck Bangle, co-owner of Manco & Manco Pizza, said the crowds were even bigger

And they also don’t want the governor to have to shut us down again. “We need to get our act together by next weekend because that is when the big rush on the Jersey Shore takes place.”

On the other side of the country, Los Angeles County reopened its beaches this weekend — with restrictions.

US Space Force unveils its official flag at the White House The U.S. Space Force, the newest branch of the armed services, has unveiled its official flag. The flag made its debut Friday in a presentation in the Oval Office. Defense Department officials presented the flag to President Donald Trump, who also signed the 2020 Armed Forces Day Proclamation, in what he called “a very special moment.” “We should have started this a long time ago, but we made up for it in spades. We have developed some of the most incredible weapons anyone’s ever seen. It’s moving along very rapidly, and we have tremendous people in charge,” said Trump at the unveiling. The Space Force marks the first new service and accompanying service flag in more than 72 years, according to the White House. There are 16,000 professionals assigned to the military branch, according to Chief of Space Operations Gen. John Raymond. “Space is going to be the future. Both in terms of defense and offense and so many other things,” Trump said Friday. “Already, from what I’m hearing and based on reports, we are now the leader in space.”

For the city’s 450 residents, the only place to buy groceries is ToshCo, the locals’ nickname for Parker’s store. Parker usually has food and supplies shipped from Costco to his store aboard the state’s ferry system, but it’s no longer running to Gustavus because of the pandemic, as well as damage caused to the city’s dock by severe storms. Without an alternative delivery method and his city quickly running short on food and supplies, Parker decided to take the matter into his own hands. No matter the obstacles, Parker said his city will always find a way to survive. “The town needed to be supplied with groceries so we just did whatever it took to make that happen. Just another day in our world. Next year it will be another obstacle to overcome and we’ll buck up and deal with it.”

Fred Willard, ‘Best in Show’ and ‘Modern Family’ star, has died Fred Willard, the comedic actor known for his roles in movies including “Best in Show” and “This is Spinal Tap” and TV sitcoms “Everybody Loves Raymond” and “Modern Family,” has died. The star died peacefully on Friday “at the fantastic age of 86 years old,” his daughter, Hope Mulbarger, confirmed to CNN. “He kept moving, working and making us happy until the very end. We loved him so very much! We will miss him forever,” Mulbarger said. His death comes nearly two years after the passing of his wife of 50 years, Mary Willard, who died in 2018 when she was 71 years old. The four-time Emmy nominee, who grew up in Ohio, spread joy through his talent for making people laugh.

Can they whip it? Devo offers ‘energy dome’ face shields to fight the pandemic New-wave band Devo has joined the fight against coronavirus, maybe hoping to help “Whip It” — or, at least, bring a touch of retro whimsy to the cause. The band is known for its early-MTV smash “Whip It” and distinctive look. Now it’s selling the “energy dome” helmets it famously wore back in the day, with a face guard, for $49.95 online. The look is one part metalworker, one part Lego, and one part nerdy nostalgia. “The Dome is solid and the attached Shield is clear but it’s what you can’t see that gets you!” says the band’s website. “The Shield attaches to your Energy Dome via Velcro. It’s simple and it’s safe!”

en carrier USS Theodore Roosevelt have now tested positive for the virus according to a defense official. These eight sailors had previously tested positive and were removed from the ship in order to self-quarantine. They had all tested negative twice before being allowed back on board before this latest incident of testing positive again for the virus.

This latest development is in addition to five other sailors aboard the ship that CNN reported earlier this week who had also again tested positive after being thought to be clear of the virus. The carrier is heavily screening crew members for reports of symptoms. Some of the now 13 sailors who have retested positive in fact had reported symptoms to the medical crew, the official said. The official said it is not clear if sailors have somehow been re-infected or if very low levels of the virus have remained in their bodies and testing had not caught it.

Pop musician Charli XCX dropped her latest album Friday and, amidst a crowded release day, her project stood out. Why? It was made entirely in quarantine. “How I’m Feeling Now” is the British singer’s fourth studio album, following the release of 2019’s “Charli.” All 11 tracks were written and recorded in quarantine, and the videos were made while isolating, too. Charli XCX first announced the album on April 6, in a video conference with fans via Zoom. “During this quarantine time period, I have found that for me my positivity goes hand in hand with being creative. I really need to be creative to feel happy, to feel comfortable, and to make sure my mental health is staying on track,” she said. The album, she continued, would be very DIY, very “indicative of the times we’re in,” she said at the time. She planned on only using the tools she had at her fingertips — people she could reach online, whatever she had in her house, to make the music, artwork and videos. Charli XCX also involved fans in the process, having an open call for beats and asking fans for input on certain aspects of the project over social media. — From wire reports

Company preps for first astronaut launch from American soil since 2011 By Kristi Harper CNN

WEAVERVILLE, NC — An exciting, final step for the United States’ return to launching flights into space is set to take place later this month. The NASA DM-2, part of NASA’s commercial crew program, is a joint effort between NASA and SpaceX. The launch set for May 27 is the final test before the DM-2 rocket is cleared for regular, long-term missions into space.

TESTING From A1 had one of the highest death tolls among the state’s 159 counties, behind only Fulton (165 deaths), Dougherty (134) and Cobb (132). DeKalb County has had the fifth highest death toll among all Georgia Counties (81 deaths in DeKalb), followed by Hall County (40 deaths). “Even though Gwinnett is third in the state for the number of cases, Gwinnett is fourth for number of deaths,” Wasdin said. “That said, we’re saddened at any death. Our district’s median age for deaths is 78 years old, consistent with the state overall. This is why we’re focused on protecting those at greatest risk, which include the elderly and those who live in congregate living facilities. “The Department of Public Health is encouraging all nursing homes have all their staff and residents tested, if they haven’t already been, and we are coordinating with these

THANKS From A1 able to serve the Atlanta community as well as thanking the hospitals and frontline workers,” Green said. That became the Home Plate Project. Through the project, there are distribution events at Truist Park during the week to help community groups, but it also includes the team hitting the road on Fridays and serving 500 lunches to workers at hospitals in the region. “Every Friday for the last two months we’ve either gone to a hospital or an out-ofmarket location,” Green said. “We’ve done the Shepherd Center, last week we went to Nashville, we’re here (at Northside Gwinnett) and next week we’re going to (Phoebe Putney Memorial Hospital in) Albany, and then Rome.” On Friday, they came to Lawrenceville to serve 500 meals out of their food truck. It shouldn’t be too surprising that the Braves came to Gwinnett as part of this effort, however. The county is home to the Braves TripleA minor league team, the Gwinnett Stripers, after all. The Braves officials worked with their Gwinnett counterparts to find a way to help the Gwinnett community. The Stripers decided to serve employees at Northside Gwinnett, a longtime partner of the minor league team, going back to when the hospital was Gwinnett Medical Center. “(There were) a couple of reasons,” Stripers General Manager Adam English said. “One, they’re one of the hospitals treating the

facilities to accomplish this.” As far as total cases go, Fulton County continues to lead all Georgia counties with 3,749 cases. It is followed by DeKalb County (2,800 cases), Gwinnett, Cobb County (2,407 cases) and Hall County (2,146). Dougherty has had 1,662 cases, the sixth highest total number of cases among all counties in the state. There are now more cases where the patient’s county of residence was unknown (1,787 cases) than there have been in Dougherty County. “We can all protect the most vulnerable and ourselves by following infection prevention measures, like washing hands constantly, wearing a mask, cleaning and disinfecting frequently touched surfaces and continuing to socially distance when possible,” Wasdin said. “The Health Department has free COVID-19 testing for anyone who wants to be tested. More information about scheduling an appointment is available online at www.gnrhealth. com/covid-19-info.”

most COVID-19 patients in the area so we knew they were highly impacted by this pandemic and, secondly, they’re great partners of ours and we always like to support our partners whenever we can so it was great that I could partner with the Braves Foundation — which is our giving arm in Gwinnett as well.” In addition to the food truck brought out to the hospital by the Braves, the team also enlisted the help of Chick-filA to serve additional meals to hospital workers. “Because of the size of the truck, we can only serve 500 meals off this,” English said. “We were able to get our great partner, Chick-fil-A, to chip in an additional 300 meals so we could serve everybody in need today. It’s important for the Stripers, during this pandemic, we wanted to positively impact our community as much as we could and this was one of the ways that we could.” The lunches are not the only step the Stripers have taken to help the community during the pandemic. English said the team is also making a $10,000 donation to the Gwinnett Cares effort, which is set up to help with a variety of community needs. Northside officials said they were pleased to see the Braves and Stripers swing by the hospital and show support for the hospital’s employees during the pandemic. “The outpouring of support from our community and our partners has been amazing, and this one was especially delicious,” Northside Hospital Gwinnett Manager of Patient Relations Allison Hamlet said. “It means more to our staff than words can ever express. Thank you.”

REOPEN From A1

Sugar Hill taking a ‘staged approach’ to reopening

Sugar Hill officials already reopened Gary Pirkle Park for passive recreation earlier this month, but the city will take a major step forward on Monday when the ECenter gym and Sugar Hill City Hall reopen to the public. The customer service department at City Hall will be open 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Mondays through Fridays without appointment, but other city departments and services, such as passport services, will require appointments. The post office at City Hall will be open from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. starting Monday as well. City employees will be provided with masks that they will be required to wear “for the foreseeable future.” Anyone who visits city-owned facilities is asked to also wear a face covering and practice social distancing during their visit. “We appreciate the community’s patience, flexibility, and support as we work to safely resume in-person city services,” city officials said in a statement. “City staff remain committed to providing continued cus-

WILDLIFE From A1 ranch under new ownership at the same site. She had a different, more positive assessment of what she saw after passing a new wide open, natural bear habitat and spaces for new animals, such as spider monkeys and lemurs. “It’s a total difference,” Mueller said. “You can tell it’s well maintained (and) they’ve built a whole lot of structures that benefit the animals.” Thursday marked the opening day for the Yellow River Wildlife Sanctuary, which had been in development since Jonathan and Katie Ordway bought the former Yellow River Game Ranch site two years ago. The ranch had experienced a troubled past with issues concerning the treatment of animals — and it closed suddenly at the end of 2017. The Ordways undertook extensive renovations to address issues at the site and to replace inadequate animal habitats. The bears, for example, were moved from a small concrete enclosure to a sprawling enclosed hillside exhibit with a shelter and a large pool with a waterfall. “Originally, we were going to open eight months later (after buying the property), but then as it turned out water was a hose from the front, electrical was an extension cord from the front,” Katie Ordway said. “Before we closed on the property, we went from here down to Florida, looking at different zoos and sanctuaries, trying to come up with ‘OK could we do it? Could we make it?’ “But the idea that the bears going to be put down, it was like ‘OK, how do we make it so that never happens,’ and then (we) kind of built the place.” Jonathan Ordway said it was “surreal” to reach an opening day for the sanctuary after spending two years working on it. “I imagined it being open, but actually being here, having it open — I feel like I’m in a dream,” he said. The couple said they want the sanctuary to provide education on animals and teach people to appreciate animals. “And then a moment for children to make that connection with wildlife, with animals, so they become stewards for the environment and for wildlife in the future,” Jonathan Ordway said. Throughout the remainder of May, the wildlife sanctuary is open Thursdays through Sundays for self-guided sneak peak tours where the number of people touring the grounds at any given time will be limited to help with social distancing. Anyone who wants to visit the sanctuary during the sneak peek period has to buy tickets in advance at yellowriverwildlifesanctuary.com. Adult tickets cost $18, children ages

Katie and Jonathan Ordway opened the Yellow River Wildlife Sanctuary at the former Yellow River Game Ranch site in Lilburn on Thursday after two years of planning and preparation. 3 to 12 are admitted for $12 (kids 2 and under are free) and tickets for senior citizens and military personnel is $17. The sanctuary has a largely different lineup of animals on display from the game ranch, although the ranch’s bears, bison, peacocks, pot-bellied pigs, turtles and deer remain. Katie Ordway said the bears have responded favorably to their new habitat so far, doing things that bears in the wild typically do, such as rubbing their backs on trees. The bears have had some curiosity about their new habitat. “One of them kept paws down (in the pool) and we started to think she’s never had water where she couldn’t feel the bottom so she kept putting her paw in further and further down,” she said. Jonathan Ordway said another bear decided to feel at home on her own terms in the habitat. “One of them decided she didn’t want to go back in (the night house shelter in the exhibit) and camped out overnight” on the hillside, he said. “We try to get them inside the night house, but she went up and started trying to make a den on the top of the hill, so that was kind of cute.” Some of the new animal additions include spider moneys, ring-tail lemurs, red ruffed lemurs, kinkajous, owls, raccoons, goats, patagonian maras, walllabys, a serval, Eurasian lynx, coyotes, a miniature horse and alpacas. The former bear enclosure is used to temporarily house the new animals, which each have to be quarantined upon arrival, when they arrive at the sanctuary. On Thursday, it was used to house a coyote whose actual habitat needs to be modified because he had proven himself capable of escaping it.

The new animals have come to sanctuary through different means. In some cases, Georgia Department of Natural Resources officials brought rescued animals there. In other cases, rescue groups brought them in or they came people who couldn’t care for them anymore. “The serval that we have was walking loose in Buckhead and DNR got involved (and brought it to the sanctuary),” Katie Ordway said. There is also a new attraction where visitors can buy bags filled with gems and sand and use water and a sifter to sort through the sand and find all of the gems. Visitors who came to the sanctuary on its opening day gave it high praise. “It’s very exciting to come back and see the new change that they’ve made,” said Snellville resident Camelia Moseley, who had visited the Yellow River Game Ranch once, about 11 years ago. Moseley had been disappointed when the game ranch closed two and a half years ago because she had wanted to take her daughter, Aaliyah, and son, David, to see it. After a little bit of a wait, the kids did eventually get to see it this past week. “I love it,” Aaliyah Moseley, 12, said. “All of the animals are so cute.” Snellville resident Victoria Gunn also approved of the changes. Gunn had visited the game ranch as a child and brought her eight-month old daughter, Cora, to the sanctuary on Thursday. “All of the animals seem more relaxed,” Gunn said. The sanctuary is located at 4525 U.S. Highway 78 in Lilburn, and anyone who has questions about it can call 678-395-3453. The hours of operation are 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Convenience fees for telephone and online payments made through June 5 will be credited back to customer’s accounts. Although passport services will be available by appointment at City Hall, officials are warning residents that the Department of Homeland Security has not yet resumed processing passport applications. Meanwhile, the E-Center gym will be open 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. Mondays through Saturdays, and 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. on Sundays for the time being. City officials are urging people in high risk categories, such as the elderly and people with chronic health conditions, to exercise at home until June 13, however. Anyone who has symptoms of COVID-19, has been diagnosed with it or who have been in contact with someone who either has it or is suspected of having it is asked to stay away from the gym until they have been cleared to engage in fitness activities. Gym staff will monitor the facility to ensure compliance with statewide orders covering fitness centers, in-

cluding prescreening visitors upon entry, enforcing social distancing requirements and sanitizing equipment between users. Elsewhere in Sugar Hill, the city’s municipal court is expected to resume on June 12 with increased cleaning and sanitization processes, social distancing and the wearing of masks. The Bowl and Sugar Hill and The Eagle Theatre will remain through June 12 as well.

The exceptions include an interpreter if the defendant needs one and one parent if the defendant is under 21. Lilburn officials said residents are encouraged to wear face masks and practice social distancing at those facility. City officials also said the facilities in Lilburn will be cleaned regularly as well. Duluth parks and recreation buildings remain closed at this time, but the city did reopen the tennis courts at W.P. Jones Park and Bunten Road Park for open play only earlier this month. Public restroom facilities for those tennis courts have also reopened. Suwanee’s playgrounds are closed and pavilion rentals are suspended, but city parks and restrooms have remained open. The city has cancelled all public events through July 10, however. Information about the Suwanee’s response to COVID-19, including facility reopenings, is being made available at www.suwanee.com/iwant-to/learn-about/covid-19/.

Officials in three Gwinnett cities got a bit of a jump start on their counterparts in Sugar Hill and at the Tax Commissioner’s Office by reopening some offices this past week. Thursday saw the reopening of Duluth City Hall, the Duluth Public Works Facility, Suwanee City Hall, Suwanee Police Station, Suwanee Police Training Center, Suwanee Municipal Court, the Suwanee Public Works Facility, Lilburn City Hall, the Lilburn Police Department, Lilburn Municipal Court and the Public Works.

No more than nine people can be in the lobby at a time and an employee will be stationed there to ensure social distancing takes place. One-way paths have been marked as well. Despite the lobby’s reopening, officials are still encouraging customers to pay their bills online at www. gwinnetth2o.com/paymybill or by phone at 678-376-6800, Option 1.

Libraries to begin curbside hold pickups later this month Anyone eager to visit a library soon will have to wait a little bit longer, however. Officials with the library system said the branches will remain closed to the public until further notice, but that doesn’t mean residents won’t be able to have any interaction with their local libraries. Book drops are expected reopen to accept returns on May 26. The library system will also start curbside hold pickups on that day. The pick up times will be 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Mondays through Saturdays and noon to 5 p.m. on Sundays.

Gwinnett, state ag dept. teaming up for food distribution event By Curt Yeomans curt.yeomans@gwinnettdailypost.com

Gwinnett County residents will be able to get food grown in Georgia in unincorporated Lawrenceville later this month as part of an effort to help both residents and farmers who are in need

because of the COVID-19 novel coronavirus pandemic. The Georgia Grown To Go market event is expected to be held from 3 p.m. until 7 p.m. May 27 at Coolray Field, Gwinnett Community Services Deputy Director Lindsay Jorstad told county commissioners on Tuesday. The event is

a partnership with the Georgia Department of Agriculture. “In addition to pre-ordered mixed boxes, there’s supposed to be an array of fresh perishable food options that folks can order,” Jorstad said. Gwinnett officials will be looking at a Georgia Grown To Go market that will

be held in Cobb County before the one at Coolray Field to study its format and logistics. Jorstad said the Gwinnett market will offer an opportunity to support local coops with additional food supplies as well. Coolray Field is located at 2500 Buford Drive in Lawrenceville.

Reopen America ... Ted Nugent has spoken

he choice before us seems to be no choice at all: Stay inside and have no human contact with another soul, keep businesses closed, denying a livelihood to millions, or step outside and risk death. Though I believe the risk is small when comparing the number of people who have been diagnosed with COVID-19 and have recovered with the number who have died, fear may be the greater threat. Some of a certain age may recall the fears promoted during the Cold War. There were newspaper stories and TV documentaries about how long survivors of a nuclear war would have to stay inside reinforced shelters until the fallout dissipated to a point it was safe to go out. Then, it was Geiger counters that would determine the level of radioactivity. Today’s Geiger counters are temperature gauges held to our foreheads. Symptoms, such as coughing, sneezing and fever, as well as high-risk factors, such as age and underlying health conditions, are also part of the diagnostic equation.

IN BRIEF Buchanan-Cummings to play for uS Merchant Marine Academy Mill Creek senior Bryanne Buchanan-Cummings will play college basketball for the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy, announcing her commitment Thursday. Buchanan-Cummings, a 5-foot-10 forward, missed her senior season with a knee surgery, but started the previous two seasons. She also was the Hawks’ Scholar-Athlete Award winner from the Gwinnett Tipoff Club.

Rodriguez signs with South Georgia Berkmar senior Devani Rodriguez has signed with the South Georgia State College women’s soccer program. Rodriguez, who had four goals and seven assists, earned all-region and all-county honors in 2019. She was a team captain and a scholar-athlete with a 3.4 GPA, and played club soccer for Steamers FC.

Buford’s Courtney Martin charges forward in the Wolves’ overtime win over St. Pius earlier this year.

NEXT STEP

Buford girls lacrosse moved forward again in 2020 By Will Hammock will.hammock@ gwinnettdailypost.com

A Buford girls lacrosse program on the rise was poised to take the next step. The Wolves had a breakthrough 2019 season with their first state playoff appearance, followed by their first postseason victory. They were on their way to improving last year’s 10-6 record, and were working toward a better finish later in the season, but those plans were crushed by the coronavirus pandemic. “We were hoping to build on the success from last year and the girls have worked hard to get to this point,” Buford girls coach Marianne Cagle said. “We were all thrilled in the successful start of this season and to say we are disappointed that the season was cut short is an understatement. Now we have to refocus as we enter a new area and classification for next season.”

Buford and St. Pius girls lacrosse players battle for possession. The ending was disappointing for everyone, but it was particularly tough for the program’s three seniors — Leah Marsh, Skyler Thomas and Anna Church. “(The seniors) have all been committed to this program from the very beginning,” Cagle said. “Any success we have from here on out is based on the foundation they helped build.” The shortened 2020 season already had some buildingblock victories. Buford was 6-0 when play was halted,

winning five of those games by a combined 63 goals. Those dominant wins were joined by the only nail-biter, a huge victory at St. Pius. Junior Courtney Martin’s overtime goal, her second of the game, gave the Wolves a 9-8 win over St. Pius on a night when Jordan Garrison had four goals and Kylee Kangas also scored twice. That type of opponent will become more frequent next season with a move up to Class AAAAAAA/AAAAAA Area 1 with Centennial, Chat-

tahoochee, Johns Creek, Norcross, North Gwinnett and Peachtree Ridge. Nine starters will be back for the 2021 season. “We are returning the majority of our starters so we’ve got that base to build on,” Cagle said. “It will be different moving to a new classification and area with different competition. We definitely have our work cut out for us. But these girls have been working hard to prepare for it.” Garrison, a junior who is committed to Gardner-Webb, already had 21 goals this season and sophomores Jordyn Olivo and Kangas had scored 20 each. Thomas had nine goals and nine assists, Marsh had five goals and 11 assists and Martin, a Rollins College recruit, had seven goals and two assists. Martin also had 15 draw controls. Freshman goalie Madison McCoy was solid with 26 saves, while Church and junior Kaylee Moreland led the defense.

GCPS honors its Outstanding Seniors

Brookwood senior Kye Gibson committed Thursday night to the Penn State Beaver men’s basketball program. The 6-foot-5 forward averaged 8 points and 5.3 rebounds last season.

Carithers commits to Montreat Dacula senior C.J. Carithers committed Wednesday to the Montreat College (N.C.) men’s basketball program. The 6-foot guard averaged 10.4 points, 2.9 rebounds, 1.5 steals and 1.3 assists last season.

Anderson to throw for Piedmont Peachtree Ridge senior Reaghan Anderson will continue her track and field career at the college level. The thrower made a commitment to the Piedmont College women’s track and field program this week.

Hightower signs with WCu Meadowcreek grad Cory Hightower has signed with the Western Carolina University (N.C.) men’s basketball program, the school announced Tuesday. Hightower, a 6-foot-7 forward who helped Meadowcreek to a state championship, must sit out the 2020-21 season per NCAA transfer rules after playing previously at Presbyterian College (S.C.). He will have two seasons of eligibility remaining. As a Presbyterian sophomore, Hightower averaged 13.7 points and 6.1 rebounds, earning honorable mention all-conference honors from the Big South. He was a Big South All-Freshman selection the season before after averaging 9.4 points and 6.3 rebounds. “We are so excited to add Cory to our family,” Western Carolina head coach Mark Prosser said in a school release. “He is already a highly decorated player at the Division I level, and we look forward to helping to continue his development as a player. Cory adds another great kid and family to our program, and his body of work lends itself to him following in the footsteps of our last two transfer student-athletes, Carlos Dotson and Mason Faulkner.”

Sudderth to play for Presbyterian Gwinnett resident Alex Sudderth will continue his football career at Presbyterian College (S.C.). Sudderth was an all-region selection the past two seasons, playing at Hebron Christian before transferring to Prince Avenue Christian for his senior season. He also maintains a 3.9 GPA.

From staff reports Gwinnett County Public Schools has announced the Outstanding Senior Athlete award-winners, recognizing the best and brightest from the 2019-20 school year. Those seniors — one male and one female from each GCPS high school — were to be honored at the 11th annual GCPS Outstanding Senior Athlete Banquet, but it was canceled along with other school activities by the coronavirus pandemic.

Scenes from the 2019 Gwinnett County Swim League Championships.

GCSL calls off summer season By Will Hammock

will.hammock@gwinnettdailypost.com

The popular Gwinnett County Swim League has called off its summer season because of coronavirus concerns, the league announced this week. More than 6,000 swimmers ages 18 and under compete each summer in the GCSL, which features 43 neighborhoodbased teams and uses Georgia Tech’s McAuley Aquatic Center for its large, season-ending meet. It is a summer tradition in Gwinnett that won’t happen for the first time since it launched in 1973. The league initially pushed back its start date with hopes of making the 2020 season happen. “The GCSL has shared some difficult news with their swim families this week,” the league announced in a statement. “No one could have foreseen the disruptions we are experiencing due to COVID-19. The spread of this virus has resulted in significant changes in our daily lives. Despite our best efforts to adjust and try to push back the start to the swim season, we have come to the conclusion that we

cannot safely proceed with the 2020 GCSL Summer Swim Season. “Over the last nine weeks, the Board of Directors has conducted numerous meetings and phone conferences to identify all options possible in order to proceed with the season. Based on commentary from the Federal, State, Local Government and the CDC’s new requirements to open aquatic facilities, there is no way to adequately have our all-volunteer team council maintain social distance, disinfect and keep everyone safe around the pool with the number of participants and spectators at each swim meet and practice session. “There are over 6,000 swimmers that participate within the GCSL and we understand that there will be great disappointment. We too are disappointed. However, part of our objectives for a successful swim season includes keeping our swimmers, their families, and the spectators safe. The GCSL Board of Directors is already looking ahead and planning for the 2021 season. We will be excited to welcome swimmers back in the pool during the 2021 summer.”

The man who built Clarkston into a state cross country power is headed to Gwinnett County. Discovery announced Tuesday that Wesley Etienne has been hired as the high school’s head boys and girls cross country coach. He also will be the Titans’ head girls track and field coach. “After speaking with Coach Etienne during the interview process, it was apparent that his energy and passion for molding kids into the future leaders of our country would be a great fit for Discovery and GCPS,” Discovery athletic and activities director Chris Hall said. “He brings an impressive resumé of on-the-field success coupled with a track record of getting kids to be academically successful and move on to college.” Etienne was head cross country coach at Clarkston for the past eight years, leading his boys team to a state runner-up finish in 2013, his second season. His boys team won three state championships from 201416, and won six straight region titles from 2013-18. He hopes to duplicate that success at Discovery. “I want to continue to engineer the future by investing in our student-athletes in the same manner that people invested in myself,” Etienne said.

Bears earn All-American awards Three Mountain View athletes were recognized recently for their training work. Carsyn Milburn and Jeremy Tuider were given National Strength and Conditioning Association All-American Strength and Conditioning Athlete of the Year awards, while Will Cobb was selected for the National High School Strength Coaches Association All-American Strength and Conditioning Athlete of the Year honor.

Early voting for primary election begins Monday Sen. Ted Cruz endorses McCormick in 7th District race

By Curt Yeomans curt.yeomans@ gwinnettdailypost.com

There’s been a lot of talk over the last two months about Georgia’s presidential preference and general primaries, but now the time for voting in person has arrived. Advance in-person voting, also known as early voting, begins Monday for the primaries which were combined into the same election in March because of the COVID-19 novel coronavirus pandemic. From Monday until June 5, early voting will take place at the Gwinnett Voter Registrations and Elections Beauty P. Baldwin Building, which is located at 455 Grayson Highway in Lawrenceville, and the Gwinnett County Fairgrounds, which is located at 2405 Sugarloaf Parkway in Lawrenceville. The only day during that period when early voting will not take place is May 25, which is Memorial Day. The elections will be open 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Mondays through Saturdays. The fair-

Yeomans grounds will open 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Mondays through Saturdays. Both locations will be open noon to 7 p.m. on Sundays. Four satellite locations will also be open daily from May 30 through June 5. The satellite locations will be open 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. on May 30 and June 1 to June 5, and noon to 7 p.m. on May 31. The satellite locations are: ♦ Bogan Park Community Recreation Center, 2723 North Bogan Road in Buford ♦ George Pierce Park Community Recreation Center, 55 Buford Highway in Suwanee ♦ Lenora Park Gym, 4515 Lenora Church Road in Snellville ♦ Lucky Shoals Park Community Recreation Center, 4651 Britt Road in Norcross

Dr. Rich McCormick, one of several Republicans running for the open 7th Congressional District seat, announced this past week that he has been endorsed by U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz, RTexas, in the race. “Dr. Rich McCormick is the type of leader we need in Congress,” Cruz said in a statement. “He is a pro-life doctor and a man of faith. As a Marine and Naval Commander, Dr. McCormick knows what it will take to build the wall, secure our border, and keep America Rich safe. McCormick “I’m confident Rich will work with me to hold China accountable, rebuild our economy, and stand against rampant social-

ism. I urge conservatives to join me in supporting Rich for Congress.” McCormick is locked in a tight race where some of his opponents have gone after him in recent weeks over his voting record. Businessman Mark Gonsalves and State Sen. Renee Unterman have challenged McCormick on whether he supports President Donald Trump.

Islam endorsed by Asian American Action Fund in 7th Congressional District race Democrat Nabilah Islam announced this past week that she has received an endorsement from the Asian American Action Fund in the open 7th Congressional District race. Islam is one of several Democrats running for the seat, which U.S. Rep. Rob Woodall is vacating at the end of his current term to enter retirement. “AAAFund is excited to back Nabilah Islam’s his-

toric campaign for Georgia’s Seventh Congressional District,” said Irene Natividad, AAAFund endorsements cochair, in statement. “Nabilah has poured almost a decade of her life into tirelessly advocating for the people of Georgia and for progresNabilah sive ideals. Islam “She knows Georgia’s Seventh District, her own community, inside and out, and she understands how to lead. Nabilah will take to Washington that same energy and integrity and continue her fight, on behalf of all Georgians, for economic equity, accessible healthcare, and immigration reform.”

Former AG candidate endorses Merritt in state Senate race Nikki Merritt announced

this past week that the Democratic Party’s 2018 nominee for attorney general, Charlie Bailey, has endorsed her in the state Senate District 9 race. Merritt is one of the Democrats running for the seat, which is currently held by state Sen. P.K. Martin, RLawrencevNikki ille. Merritt “The support of Charlie, a true fighter for justice, and so many other supporters from across the state has helped make this campaign in battleground Gwinnett possible,” Merritt said in a campaign email to supporters where the endorsement was announced.

Gwinnett installing 8 absentee ballot drop boxes By Curt Yeomans curt.yeomans@gwinnettdailypost.com

Gwinnett County residents will be able to return their absentee ballots for the June 9 primary election without needing to to dig up, or pay for, a stamp. Gwinnett officials announced on Friday that they have installed eight official absentee ballot drop boxes around the county. Absentee by mail voting has been heavily promoted by state elections officials, and several candidates for public office, during the COVID-19 novel coronavirus pandemic. “In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Georgia Secretary of State’s Office mailed absentee ballot applications to all active registered voters this spring,” county officials said in a statement. “The State Election Board since adopted an emergency rule allowing for the placement of secure ballot drop boxes for use by voters to turn in completed absentee ballots.” Gwinnett voters can request an ab-

sentee by mail ballot for any reason, regardless of whether they will be in town on election day. The ballot will include Georgia’s presidential preference primary as well as the general primary for state and local offices, as well as some federal seats. The decision to install drop boxes around the county will give residents who are concerned about risks to their health by voting in person during the COVID-19 pandemic a way to cast their ballots in a way that doesn’t require them to pay for postage. “No postage is necessary on ballots placed in the drop boxes,” county officials said in a statement. “The secure drop boxes are monitored by video and available 24/7 at (the eight) locations.” County officials said voters can find an absentee ballot application form at GwinnettElections.com. They can also call the Voter Registrations and Elections Office at 678-226-7210 and ask for an application. “A completed application must first be received before an absentee/

advance ballot is issued,” county officials said. “Once County election officials verify the signature on the application, the voter will be sent a ballot for the June 9 election.” The drop boxes will be available at the following locations: ♦ Bogan Park Community Recreation Center, 2723 North Bogan Road, Buford ♦ Dacula Park Activity Building, 2735 Old Auburn Ave., Dacula ♦ George Pierce Park Community Recreation Center, 55 Buford Highway, Suwanee ♦ Lenora Park Gym, 4515 Lenora Church Road, Snellville ♦ Lucky Shoals Park Community Recreation Center, 4651 Britt Road, Norcross ♦ Mountain Park Aquatic Center,1063 Rockbridge Road, Stone Mountain ♦ Shorty Howell Park Activity Building, 2750 Pleasant Hill Road, Duluth ♦ Voter Registrations and Elections Beauty P.

A longtime presence around Dacula High School athletics will forever have his name attached to the school. The Gwinnett County Board of Education voted Thursday night to approve a request from Dacula’s school council to name the school’s field house in honor of longtime booster Dan Buchanan. Superintendent J. Alvin Wilbanks told board members that Buchanan has been a supporter of Dacula’s athletic program for decades. “The local school council at Dacula High School has submitted a proposal to name the field house Dan Buchanan Field House in honor of Mr. Buchanan’s support of athletics, and especially the football program, at Dacula High School for (nearly) three decades,” Wilbanks said. “He has contributed his time, money and labor to benefit the student-athletes, coaches and this school’s many athletic programs. “Mr. Buchanan also is a valued member of the Dacula community and someone the school would like to see honored in this significant way.” Buchanan has been involved in Dacula athletics since 1992, serving as an advocate for the school’s student-athletes and coaches, Dacula Local School Council

Chairman Casey Morgenroth said in a letter to Wilbanks asking for the naming. During the time in which Buchanan has been involved with Dacula, the school has had eight athletic directors and numerous head football coaches, according to Morgenroth. The school council chairman said Buchanan has painted and cut fields for the football, soccer, softball and lacrosse teams for nearly 30 years, and has also “built, renovated and painted” numerous facilities, including locker rooms, at Dacula over the years. He was also a founding contributor to the Dacula High School Hall of Fame, served as a booster club board member and managed year-round football operations and Friday night game operations. “Presently, Dan remains committed to the well-being of Dacula High School and our athletic programs,” Morgenroth wrote in the letter to Wilbanks. “His impact on the community and our student-athletes has been immense. By naming the field house, he will be honored and his legacy will not be forgotten.” School board member Carole Boyce praised Buchanan’s support of Dacula’s athletics program as she made the motion to approve the naming of the field house. “Dan Buchanan is an extremely well-respected individual in the Dacula community,” she said. “And for three decades — I did not realize it was quite that long — he is out there all the time, bustling around and he is very insistent that the football field always looks just right and he’s done so much for so many students and so many individuals in the entire community for a long time.”

GAC holds senior drive through parade From staff reports This past Friday had special meaning for the seniors from Greater Atlanta Christian School. It was their official last day of classes, and the administration celebrated with a special memory-moment. One of GAC’s end-of-year traditions includes a Senior Walk-through of the Kindergarten, Elementary, Middle School and High School buildings, ending with a buffet of donuts. A campus parade was a way to have that experience under social distancing provisions. A Senior Drive Through was organized for the 172 seniors and their families to cruise through the GAC campus. Personalized photo signs for each senior marked the path of the guided route led by a sheriff’s escort.

The students’ colorfully decorated vehicles were cheered on by the K-12th grade faculty and staff, who held congratulatory signs, cheered and used noisemakers. At the end of the route, students received a dozen Krispy Kreme donuts to continue their celebration at home. “Today’s Drive Through has been extremely uplifting for all of us. As a parent of a senior, it was incredible to see the faculty and staff lined up clapping, waving and shouting words of love and encouragement to the seniors and their families,” said GAC president Dr. Scott Harsh. “It was an inspiring way to culminate the seniors’ last day of high school. Who knows, it may become a new tradition.” GAC is planning a graduation in late summer if permitted by health protocol.

his has been anything but a traditional senior year for Gwinnett’s high school students. But on their way to graduation day (virtually, in most cases), they have shown resilience, perseverance and creativity. From chalk drawings, to car parades to Zoom meetings that turned into music for the ear, the Class of 2020 has shown an ability to make the best of a situation. And for that, we ...

Collins Hill orchestra is a YouTube sensation with virtual performance By Curt Yeomans curt.yeomans@gwinnettdailypost. com

The Collins Hill High School Orchestra can be seen performing the song “A Million Dreams,” from the film “The Greatest Showman,” in this still from a video of their virtual performance, which has been viewed nearly 8,900 times on YouTube.

In an age of people quarantining themselves at home because of the COVID-19 novel coronavirus pandemic, the Collins Hill High School orchestra has become an Internet sensation. A month ago, the orchestra recorded a virtual performance of the song “A Million Dreams,” which is from the film “The Greatest Showman,” with each member performing in front of a computer camera from their respective homes. Collins Hill director of orchestras Rosie Riquelme came up with the idea of an online performance as a way to lift the spirits of the school’s student body, particularly its senior class, to whom the performance was dedicated. “We normally celebrate our senior class at our spring concert and our banquet, both of which were cancelled this year See MUSIC, C2

Gwinnett County Schiller, Wesleyan complete inspiring art project at Northside Public Schools will.hammock@ gwinnettdailypost.com

Carson Schiller’s inspiration came from a family friend. Renee White, a nurse at Northside Hospital, gave a face to the battle health care workers wage daily during the coronavirus pandemic. “(Seeing White) kind of sparked the idea,” said Schiller, a junior swimmer at Wesleyan. “She came home and I would see how tired she was at the end of the day and I really wanted to give thanks to all those people, the doctors, the scientists and the nurses because they work really hard. I wanted to show my appreciation and my school’s appreciation for what they do.” Schiller’s idea came to reality Wednesday afternoon. She led a small group that placed 250 encouraging signs — a project dubbed “Signs for the Frontlines” — along the roads and parking decks at the main Northside Hospital campus. Each featured a unique piece of artwork from students at Wesleyan. Some were drawn by kindergartners. Others by highschoolers. All were designed to provide motivation, support and gratitude for hospital staff as the arrive and depart from the hospital. “It was so cool,” Schiller said of seeing the project’s completion. “I loved seeing

special photo

Wesleyan junior Carson Schiller rallied her school’s students to produce inspirational artwork and turned them into 250 motivational signs for healthcare workers at Northside Hospital’s main campus. my initial idea that sparked in my head come to life really and bringing a couple of special people with me to help me put them up. A lot of nurses and doctors drove by and rolled down their window and said thank you so much. It was a really cool moment to express my gratitude and my school’s gratitude.” Schiller was joined in the planting stage of the signs by her parents, Derek and Kristin, Wesleyan’s high school dean of student life Mary

Stephenson and her inspiration, White. They posted the 250 signs created by roughly 230 Wesleyan art students ranging from kindergarten to 12th grade. “We had a lot of cute drawings of nurses (from younger students), and a lot of thank you written in crayon,” Schiller said. Schiller launched the sign project with a mid-April email to the school that proposed the idea and gave instructions for how to submit artwork. She followed it up with a vid-

eo to drum up more interest. From there, the art flowed in and she sent each one to Wesleyan parent Gregg Stopher, whose Global Signs company donated and printed all the signs. She then worked with Northside’s director of engineering on sign placement. “It was a pleasure to work with Carson on this project,” Stephenson said. “She deserves 100 percent of the credit. From the initial idea to the follow through of actually putting the signs up, Carson showed tremendous initiative and gumption to turn her vision into a reality. Working with Carson was inspiring, honestly. She wanted to encourage frontline healthcare workers and also bolster the sense of community in the student body, and she had a creative vision to accomplish both. I’m very proud of her and grateful to have been a part of it.” Part of the satisfaction for Schiller — a year-round swimmer for Spartan Aquatic Club — was the knowledge the signs will accomplish their desired goals for Northside staff in the coming months, but she was just as pleased with what it did for Wesleyan students, teachers, faculty and other supporters in a time of forced digital learning. “I was so excited to bring our community together since we can’t be together in the classroom,” Schiller said.
