Lawrenceville residents DJ and Summer Slaughter don’t remember when the Spin Doctors first made it big.

They couldn’t.

The couple was born in 1993, the same year the band released its hit song, “Two Princes,” as a single. That didn’t stop them from being excited about the band’s appearance at Suwanee’s August Concert and Wingfest at Town Center Park on Saturday night, though. In fact, the band was the main reason the couple — who are big fans of 1990s music — came to the event.

“We were excited when we found out they were coming,” DJ said. “We immediately had to come here.”

The Slaughters were among the thousands of people who came

to the Concert and Wingfest for the music, food and camaraderie with friends. About 10 vendors — all from Suwanee — provided wings, and Suwanee Park Tavern won the People’s Choice Award.

“It’s a community favorite for sure,” Assistant City Manager Denise Brinson said. “Folks talk about it a lot, and it’s become a regular thing. What’s great about it, since we started doing it, is that since we started doing it, it’s become a tradition for a lot of families and groups of friends that come every year.”

This year marked the 14th annual August Concert for Suwanee, but it’s the fourth year that the Wingfest has been part of the See WINGFEST, Page 5A

Child recovering well after being saved from drowning

BY CAILIN O’BRIEN

cailin.obrien @gwinnettdailypost.com

Bryson Rogers is a happy 3-year-old looking forward to signing up for baseball in the fall and becoming a Power Ranger some day.

“If you see him out playing, he’s going to be acting like he’s a Power Ranger,” said Bryson’s grandmother, Karen Rogers.

But all that playing and dreaming could have ended for Bryson on July 1 if it hadn’t been for the quick actions of a 9-year-old girl and an administrator at Northside Hospital.

Without them, Bryson could have drowned.

Bryson was attending a party at a community pool in Lilburn that day with his grandparents. Amy Berryman, the director of critical care services at Northside, was at the same party with her kids.

Fort the first few hours, it was a normal pool party.

There were hot dogs for lunch. Kids swam while parents sunbathed. Then, a 9-year-old girl noticed something alarming on the bottom of the pool.

“I was just kind of hang-

ing out in my pool chair and there was a family sitting beside us,” Berryman said.

“A little girl that’s in my son’s class walked up to her mother and grandmother who were sitting there. I heard her say, ‘I think there’s a baby at the bottom of the pool.’”

Berryman said her “mom instincts” kicked in. She jumped up and looked to the

other side of the pool. She said she could see the figure of a child under the water.

Without thinking further, she dove into the pool.

“It all happened so quickly,” Karen said.

She was on her way to the restroom when she heard a scream and turned around to see Berryman jumping into the water. Seconds later, she saw the nurse emerge holding a tiny figure.

“As soon as I saw the little swim trunks, I knew it was Bryson,” Karen said.

Bryson was blue when Berryman pulled him out of the water. He didn’t have a pulse, and he wasn’t breathing. Berryman said that’s when her “mom instincts” gave way to her “nurse instincts.” She made sure somebody had called 911 and then got to work.

“I got him and started doing CPR,” she said. “After a minute and a half, he got a pulse back, but he still wasn’t breathing. After a minute or so, he started breathing.”

Berryman kept up the

CPR until paramedics arrived to take Bryson to Eastside Medical Center.

After the ambulance left, the stunned party-goers joined hands and began to pray for Bryson.

That’s about the time that Bryson’s dad, Zach Rogers, got a troubling phone call.

“I was not at the party,” Zach said. “Basically, my dad called me and said, ‘Bryson, accident, ambulance, hospital,’ and then the phone cut off.”

As soon as Zach figured out the details, he called his wife, and the two rushed to Eastside.

The first few days in the hospital were rough for Bryson. He’d been underwater for about 3.5 minutes, and at least one of his lungs appeared to be filled with liquid.

After he was stabilized at Eastside, he was airlifted to Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta — Scottish Rite. There, doctors began trying to get the liquid out of his lung. It was slow going at first.

It wasn’t until Bryson’s

third day in the hospital that doctors suctioned a piece of hot dog out of the toddler’s lungs.

“That’s what they were having for lunch at the party,” Zach said. “When he fell, they think he might have gasped for air with some hot dog in his mouth.”

Doctors poked around a little more and eventually extracted some more hot dog. Within a few hours after the hot dog was removed, Bryson began to improve faster than he had in the past few days.

The doctors told Zach the hot dog likely saved his son’s brain.

“They think that the lung was being blocked from the hot dog, which prevented the water from overflowing from the lung or filling the lung

and going into the spinal brain cavity,” he said. “That would have caused brain damage.”

Bryson suffered no brain damage. In fact, he suffered no adverse affects from an incident that could have killed him. He left the hospital in only five days.

But it’s not the hot dog Bryson’s family is most thankful for.

“I just want to thank that little girl who saw him and Amy for acting so quickly and being able to help him,” Karen said. “It was something that nobody should ever have to go through and Amy — we call her our family’s angel.”

The Rogerses kept Berryman up to date on Bryson’s progress while he was in the hospital. She even visited him at CHOA once. But she said she didn’t really stop worrying about the toddler she’d plucked from the bottom of a pool until she saw him running around at a restaurant during a get-together a few weeks later.

“That was the moment I knew he was doing great,” Berryman said.

She said she appreciated the support and attention she has received since helping save Bryson, but she stressed the role of the 9-year-old girl who saw the toddler and the doctors and nurses who worked to help save him.

“I hope this brings some attention to the nursing profession,” Berryman said.

Zach doesn’t need a specific person to thank. He’s just glad to still have his high-energy toddler.

“That 9-year-old girl, and Amy and all of the staff at Eastside and CHOA — because of them, my kid is still alive and acting like a typical 3-year-old boy,” he said. “It’s like he said. He looked at me the other day and said, ‘He’s my best friend.’”

gwinnettdailypost.com To Your Good Health

Keith Roach

Yellow fever vaccine only for those at high risk of exposure DEAR DR. ROACH: My husband and I are taking a cruise around South America that includes several stops in Brazil.

We both are 72 and in good health. What is your opinion about our getting the yellow fever vaccine?

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, it “should be given cautiously to people older than 60.” I don’t understand why.

— P.M. ANSWER: The yellow fever vaccine, which in the U.S. can be given only at specially accredited travel clinics, has significantly higher risks, compared with routine vaccines. Most people do very well, with between 5 and 30 percent of people having a mild reaction that includes fever, headache and muscle ache, beginning a day or two after the vaccine and lasting a week or so.

About 2 people per 100,000 will develop anaphylaxis, the most severe immediate reaction. It requires emergency treatment. Clinics that give the vaccine must be prepared to recognize and treat anaphylaxis, and recipients need to stay at least 15 minutes after the vaccine to monitor for it.

However, there are two rare and potentially fatal conditions associated with yellow fever vaccine: One causes inflammation of the brain (encephalitis) and its lining (meningitis); the other causes a condition similar to yellow fever, called yellow fever vaccineassociated viscerotropic disease. Because people over 60 are at higher risk for adverse effects, it should be given only to those with high risk for exposure to yellow fever.

Fortunately, the risk for these complications is still low: Perhaps 5 older people per 100,000 who get the vaccine get a serious complication, and perhaps 5 per million get the worst complication, viscerotropic disease.

Some parts of Brazil are experiencing a yellow fever outbreak now, so it’s very important that you check your travel itinerary with the information available at wwwnc.cdc.gov/travel/ notices/alert/yellow-fever-brazil. Not all travelers to Brazil will need the vaccine. Many cruise lines avoid areas with high risk of yellow fever.

Further, there is a shortage of the only licensed vaccine available; a different (but similar) vaccine may be available. If you decide to get the vaccine, you should find a yellow fever travel clinic well ahead of time. The vaccine has risks, but yellow fever has a mortality rate at least 5 to 10 percent, and up to 50 percent for those with severe disease. People with risk for getting yellow fever are more likely to benefit from than be harmed by the vaccine, despite its risks. People with ZERO risk of getting the disease, however, do not benefit.

world&nation WORLD Man cleared of shoving woman into path of bus A man arrested over an attack in which a woman was pushed into the path of a London bus has been released without charge; police say they will take no further action against him.

The 41-year-old was arrested Thursday morning on suspicion of causing grievous bodily harm after officers searched an address in the affluent Chelsea area of the city.

Police have not named the person they arrested, but lawyers for a man named Eric Bellquist came forward on Friday to say his client had “irrefutable proof” that he was in the United States at the time.

“Our client has been wrongly implicated in this matter; he categorically denies being the individual concerned and has irrefutable proof that he was in the United States at the time of the incident,” Duncan Lewis Solicitors said in a statement.

At least three people were killed and at least 19 were hurt when a speeding car slammed into another car that was navigating through a throng of counterprotesters in Charlottesville, where a “Unite the Right” rally of white nationalist and other right-wing groups was to take place, the city tweeted on its verified account.

“I am heartbroken that a life has been lost here. I urge all people of good will — go home,” Mayor Mike Signer wrote on Twitter.

The sports car rams into the back of a silver convertible, which hits the van in front of it. Soon the Dodge driver slams the car in reverse, going back up the street at a high rate of speed, dragging its front bumper. Several people chase the car. As the sports car retreats, a red athletic shoe falls off the bumper.

Virginia’s governor had earlier declared an emergency, and police worked to disperse hundreds of protesters in the college town after clashes broke out ahead of the rally’s scheduled noon

Fistfights and screaming matches erupted Saturday, barely 12 hours after a scuffle Friday night at the nearby University of Virginia between torch-bearing demonstrators and counterprotesters.

Saturday’s rally was the latest event drawing white nationalists and right-wing activists from across the country to this Democraticvoting town — a development precipitated by the city’s decision to remove symbols of its Confederate past.

It started Wednesday afternoon. “Senator Mitch McConnell said I had ‘excessive expectations,’ but I don’t think so,” Trump tweeted. “After 7 years of hearing Repeal & Replace, why not done?”

On Thursday morning, Trump hit McConnell again. “Can you believe that Mitch McConnell, who has screamed Repeal & Replace for 7 years, couldn’t get it done.

Must Repeal & Replace ObamaCare!” he tweeted.

Then, again on Thursday: “Mitch, get back to work and put Repeal & Replace, Tax Reform & Cuts and a great Infrastructure Bill on my desk for signing. You can do it!”

Asked later Thursday about McConnell, Trump suggested that if the Kentucky Republican can’t get health care reform, tax reform and infrastructure

spending done, he should consider stepping aside.

“You can ask the question,” Trump told reporters of McConnell’s fate.

DNA test leads brothers to reunite with mother — after 46 years

By Jason Morris CNN

“There she is — I think I see her,” an anxious Anthony Wiggs told Raymond Abreu. “With the sunglasses on.”

Raymond was speechless. He glanced at his younger brother, then his eyes darted back to the entrance to the Dallas Fort Worth International Airport baggage claim.

“Elsie?” Anthony called out, his voice a tone higher. “Raymond?”

Must read she asked.

It was an emotional reunion between a mother and her sons that had been 46 years in the making.

Separated in Puerto Rico Many months of late-night calls — and a DNA test — had led to that life-changing moment. Now 64-year-old Elsie Ramirez was finally face-to-face with her sons, Raymond, 47, and Anthony, 46.

Ramirez said she left Aguadilla, Puerto Rico, in the 1970s shortly after her relationship with her husband broke down. He was in the military and stationed at Ramey Air Force Base.

Soon after the couple’s relationship soured, social services in Puerto Rico became involved and the brothers and their mother were split up. Raymond Abreu — 10 months older than his brother — moved in with his grandparents.

Soon after that, his father took him

to San Antonio, Texas.

Meanwhile, baby Anthony had been adopted by the Wiggs family.

Marta Wiggs and her family called the boy “Mikey,” a nod to his birth name.

“I think my dad panicked,” Anthony Wiggs told CNN. “He didn’t know what to do with me and he took me to someone he knew, who happened to be his sergeant in his platoon, who (also worked) for social services.”

Marta Wiggs already had an

8-month-old boy and said that at the time she felt that she had everything she needed to raise another baby. She immediately agreed to take on the child. “A couple of hours later, we had Mikey in the house too,” she remembered, chuckling. “We were overjoyed.”

Ramirez said she looked for her boys after she moved from Puerto Rico to Massachusetts and was devastated that she couldn’t find them. She said the separation caused her years of pain.

Bear sighting interrupts Lawrenceville man accused school’s outdoor activities of scam after previous arrest

By Keith Farner

keith.farner @gwinnettdailypost.com

A bear sighting in the Suwanee area caused Suwanee Elementary principal Emily Keag on Friday to curtail outside activities as a precautionary measure.

Gwinnett County Public Schools spokeswoman Sloan Roach said children were not allowed on the playground, and instead were allowed to play on the blacktop near the school. Though the bear was not seen at the school, custodians made sure the garbage cans on the playground were empty and the playground area itself was clean to deter animals that may be looking for food.

A notice was expected to be sent home with students about the situation.

The city of Suwanee posted on Instagram that officials received reports of a juvenile black bear in the area.

“There are no recorded bear attacks on humans in Georgia — so don’t be the first,” the post said. “If you encounter a bear, back away slowly; walk, don’t run; and keep your eye on the bear so you can see how it will react.”

Several bears have been seen around Gwinnett this summer, from Norcross to Buford to the Hamilton Mill area.

Earlier this summer, DNR spokeswoman Melissa Cummings told the Daily Post that the louder residents can be,

the better, including banging pots and pans, and any noise that would make the area seem like an unfriendly place in order to move the bear along.

Cummings advised that if a bear is spotted, tell neighbors in the area to never feed a bear, and keep items such as grills, pet food and bird feeders where bears can’t get to them.

She also said to clean and store grills when not in use, keep pet food indoors and take down bird feeders from April to November if bears frequent an area. People can also use “bear-proof” garbage containers, or store garbage in the garage or other enclosed area until the morning of pick-up day.

tor’s campaign for governor.

Williams said he was excited to receive Stone’s support in a race that is featuring an increasingly crowded field of candidates who hope to replace term-limited Gov. Nathan Deal.

“I believe it adds credibility to our campaign and it helps to establish us as the outsider business guy,” Williams said. “He just came off a huge victory with President Trump. He knows the people of Georgia, and of this country, probably better than most people.”

Stone said he is not acting as a consultant to Williams, who was one of Trump’s early supporters and eventually a co-chairman for his campaign in Georgia. He said Trump is interested in the race, although he wasn’t sure if the president would make an endorsement.

One of the things Stone likes about Williams’ campaign is that he is running an anti-establishment race, which is something Trump did throughout the last presidential election cycle.

“This is one of the great longshot races in the country and they are following the Trump formula,” Stone said of Williams. “By that I mean, in the 40 years that I’ve been involved in American politics, I’ve never seen the voters nationwide, not just here in Georgia, in a more sour mood, more upset with the status quo, more angry about both parties and career politicians who only care about re-election.

“They always promise big things and deliver nothing.

This is something Trump said over and over again.

Politicians are all talk and no action.”

Williams is one of five Republicans running for the open seat, facing off against Lt. Gov. Casey Cagle, Secretary of State Brian Kemp, fellow state Sen. Hunter Hill and former Gwinnett County teacher Marc Alan Urbach.

Democrats who are running for the office include former state House Minority Leader Stacey Abrams, state Rep. Stacey Evans and Hapeville resident Rod Mack.

Stone took particular aim at Cagle and Kemp, the two candidates in the race with the most name recognition statewide.

He painted Cagle as the establishment candidate, going as far as calling him “the Jeb Bush of this race,” and saying the lieutenant governor was “typical of exactly what we don’t need.”

•From Page 1A event. The first ever Wingfest Wing-Eating Contest winner, Suwanee resident Greg Alexander, came back after a few years away and reclaimed his crown as this year’s winner.

For Alexander, though, there were a few reasons to attend the concert. One was that he loves hot wings. The second is that he likes Spin Doctors’ music. The band was a bit of a throwback for the 32-year-old, who was in school when the band was big in the early 1990s.

“It was a little bit of both,” he said about why he looked forward to about the event.

“You gotta get psyched up for a wing eating contest, so maybe I thought of that a little more, but I’m excited to see Spin Doctors too.”

The band opened with “Jimmy Olsen’s Blues,” which was the lead song on their first studio album, “Pocket Full of Kryptonite.”

Over the next nearly two hours, they went on to play a mix of their older hits, such as “Little Miss Can’t Be Wrong” and “Two Princes,” as well as newer stuff, such as “If the

the proposal have not yet been attached to the application as part of the Planning Commission’s agenda packet for its Sept. 5 meeting. The packet posted on gwinnettcounty.com carries a warning that it is subject to change.

Design study images attached to the application show three- and four-story buildings for what is referred to as “Buford Apartments,” but the design plans state that they are “not for construction.”

A site plan for the gated community shows 10 apartment buildings, a club house, a pool, a playground area, a garage and a mail kiosk structure. The site is also located

less than three-quarters of a mile from Coolray Field, according to Lanham’s letter to county officials.

“The proposed development provides an excellent opportunity for high-quality in-fill development in an important area of the county,” Lanham wrote. “The proposed development represents an important component of infrastructure for the county as it continues to expand its employment sectors.

“Workforce housing is a key element of the county’s economic development and the subject property, with convenient access to the interstate and major employment centers, is an appropriate location for this development.”

Wingfest

River Was Whiskey” from their 2013 album of the same name.

“We always try to pick a band that makes people feel good and maybe takes them back to their college days,” Suwanee Events and Outreach Manager Amy Doherty said.

For some attendees, there were bigger draws for the event than getting to hear

Spin Doctors.

Buford residents Tia and Will Mackay, for example, said they came for the wings.

The couple moved to the area with their young children, Eli, 7, and Phoebe, 5, from Florida last month, so this was their first experience with the Wingfest.

“I love chicken probably as much as I love my kids,” Will Mackay said.

Phoebe then tucked on her mother’s sleeve and pointed out there was another reason why they enjoyed the event, though.

“Oh, and we like the fountain,” Tia said. “We like to let the kids run around and play in the fountain.”

Sugar Hill residents Tanya Kroon and Jennifer Ames said they liked the general atmosphere of the event, which is why they like to attend it year after year with their friends.

“It’s the whole thing with the food and beverages, the park scene and then the concert,” Kroon said.

For the most part, the weather cooperated with Suwanee officials, with the storm clouds that had hung over Gwinnett County in recent days nowhere in sight.

“We have a policy here in Suwanee that it doesn’t rain on event day,” Doherty joked.

In fact, she said there was only thing that she wished would have different about the weather on Saturday night.

“The only thing I wish we could change was to make it cooler,” she said.

Kemp “seems to be a perfectly nice guy” but called him out for a 2015 incident in which voters’ Social Security numbers were released to state political parties and media outlets in what was called at the time a “clerical error.” The employee who distributed the information was fired as a result.

“I’m just not sure that’s the guy you want as governor,” he said.

Although Cagle led candidates in the race in fundraising as of the end of June, Stone said that didn’t matter much. He pointed out that Bush raised a lot of money in the presidential race but still didn’t win the Republican nomination.

“In a race like this, you don’t need the most money,” he said. “You just need enough money.”

Shooting

was 20 years old at the time.

The four reportedly confronted the 22-year-old man and demanded he pay the $20 he owed Lo for marijuana purchased a month earlier. The man said he wasn’t going to pay them.

Later that afternoon, the 22-year-old was at his townhome on Providence Oak Lane with his pregnant fiancee and three other people when the Nissan showed up again. This time, Lo, Emanuel and Dennis reportedly got out of the car and demanded the money.

Lo “kept motioning to the gun” in his waistband, according to reports. A brief shouting match broke out before the three got back into the Nissan driven

by Dawoyea. “(The 22-year-old) said as the Nissan turned right onto (Winder Highway) that (Lo) rolled down the window and pointed the gun at him … and fired three shots,” according to a police report from the time.

Nobody was hurt in the drive-by, but the incident came back to haunt the group when Lo got into a fight with a man named Jose Rivera near Phoenix High School on Jan. 27. Police said at the time that the fight between Lo and Rivera had to do with the drive-by. Possibly, the 22-year-old was a friend of Rivera’s.

The two clashed verbally first. Then they began punching each other. Dawoyea and Emanuel were reportedly there to pick Lo up from school. They soon became involved in the fight. Then, another teenager named Kendall Boone jumped in to help Rivera.

Lo allegedly knocked Rivera out and stomped on his head multiple times when he noticed that Boone was “winning” in his fight with Dawoyea.

Emanuel may also have noticed Boone’s impending victory. Police said that’s when he pulled out a handgun and fired it at Boone.

The bullet grazed Boone’s head and hit Dawoyea in the chest.

Lo and Emanuel reportedly took their bleeding friend to a medical building behind Gwinnett Medical Center before they fled. Dawoyea died 45 minutes later.

After the shooting, Dennis reportedly tried to hide the gun that shot Dawoyea.

Dennis, Lo and Emanuel were indicted in April on charges related to both the drive-by shooting and the fatal fight. Dennis pleaded guilty in February of this year to one count of tampering with evidence, two counts of street gang violation and five counts of aggravated assault.

Lo and Emanuel haven’t pleaded guilty. Now they’re expected to face trial for their alleged crimes.

Lo has been charged with two counts of criminal street gang activity, seven counts of aggravated assault and three counts of murder. Emanuel faces two counts of criminal street gang activity, seven counts of aggravated assault, one count of possessing a firearm as a felon and five counts of murder.

Brookwood grad to run in congressional race USPS sells total eclipse curt.yeomans @gwinnettdailypost.com

Democrats have been lining up to face U.S. Rep. Rob Woodall, R-Ga., in next year’s Seventh Congressional District race, but now the congressman is facing new opposition — within his own party.

Brookwood High School graduate Shane Hazel has been preparing to run against Woodall as a Republican in recent weeks.

The Marine Corps veteran and Cumming resident’s campaign was the topic of a flurry of tweets posted on Twitter late this last week though.

Hazel said on his campaign website, www. shanehazel.com, that he is “excited to bring a Limited Government Republican

message to the 7th Congressional District.”

He also refers back to military Shane Hazel service and takes aim at establishment Republicans on the site.

“The Oath I swore to uphold the Constitution means more now than it ever has,” he wrote on the site. “Democrats and establishment Republicans have usurped the constraints of the Constitution and arbitrarily grown their power at the expense of all Americans and their inalienable rights, turning a blind eye to the values and principles you and I share.

“With a firm reliance on the protection of Divine

Providence, I pledge to you my life, my fortune, and my sacred Honor.”

A statement of candidacy for Hazel could not be immediately found on the Federal Election Commission’s website, but official candidate qualifying for the seat won’t happen until next spring. The FEC’s website shows the last time a Republican filed a statement of candidacy to run against Woodall was for the 2012 election, at the end of the congressman’s first term.

Hazel founded Liberty Georgia, a group which describes its mission on Facebook as “individual Liberty and Constitutional government using nullification supported by our founders writings and founding documents,” last year. He also hold a bachelor’s degree in international

affairs from the University of Georgia.

As a Marine, he fought in the Second Battle of Fallujah in Iraq in November 2004, which resulted in him earning the Navy and Marine Corps Achievement Medal with Valor, according to his website.

Hazel joins a growing number of people aiming to unseat Woodall, who was first elected to Congress in 2010 when former Rep. John Linder retired.

Six people are now running against the four-term congressman, including Democrats David Kim, Steve Reilly, Kathleen Allen, Ethan Pham and Melissa Davis.

The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee has marked the seat as one of its 2018 election targets.

Coleman Middle sees tiny house as project-based learning unit

BY KEITH FARNER

A tiny house built by Free Range Tiny Homes sits behind Coleman Middle School in Duluth on Friday.

The house was there to kick off a unit for sixthgraders building their own model tiny houses.

(Staff Photo: Keith Farner)

Jason Green. Ringer is a cousin of Coleman Assistant Principal Jennifer Dunn.

The Kernohans live in a tiny house and own the Tiny Fire Station No. 9 that is scheduled to be showcased on the DIY Network on Thursday.

Kernohan’s visit was to kick off a project-based learning unit on Friday for sixth-graders at Coleman.

As part of the unit, students will build model tiny houses that need to include renewable elements in their projects, like compost toilets and solar panels. The students are also expected to take a field trip to the Gwinnett Environmental and Heritage Center, and have another person visit and discuss solar and wind power.

“It engages them,” said Sheila Harmony, STEAM coordinator at Coleman.

“They use their life experiences and kids get to collaborate together in their small group and decide what they

want in their home.”

Students spent the morning listening to the Kernohans speak, watched a video and learned more about their upcoming projects.

They were set to tour the house, which is 225 square feet, in the afternoon.

Another sixth-grader, Razihah Pinchinat, noted the lack of energy used for electricity and water and thought that was cool.

While the Kernohans, who live in Putnam County, slept in the house Thursday night, the one behind Coleman is for sale from Free Range Tiny Homes. It drew plenty of attention Friday morning as students and parents arriving to school stopped and took pictures.

Kernohan said schools working tiny houses into their curriculum is developing into a trend. He said an elementary school in Rome builds a tiny house as part of a year-long project for fourth-grade and fifth-grade students.

A man who caused a seven-hour SWAT situation when he allegedly locked himself in a home in unincorporated Grayson with his girlfriend’s 18-month-old daughter in 2015 is expected to go to trial this week.

Gwinnett County police responded to a domestic dispute that allegedly involved Chad Prather and his girlfriend on Dec. 11 at about 11:45 p.m. When police got to the home on Pointcrest Way, they spoke with the girlfriend, who said a drunk Prather had brandished a weapon toward her during an argument.

She also told officers that her 18-month-old daughter was still inside the home

with Prather.

When police couldn’t get Prather out of the house, they Chad Prather called in the SWAT team. At first, negotiators tried to make contact with Prather on their own. When that didn’t work, they sent in a robot.

Finally, at about 7 a.m., SWAT team members entered the house and took Prather into custody without incident. The toddler was returned unharmed to her mother.

This week, Prather is expected to face a jury and answer to charges of aggravated assault, false imprisonment and terroristic threats.

DULUTH — Justin Dipietro is a big fan of tiny houses.

“Actually, I love tiny houses. I want to build a tiny house and put one in my backyard so I can live in it,” Justin said.

The Coleman Middle sixth-grader didn’t waste any time on Friday morning in the cafeteria when he asked a tiny house owner, who had come to visit, about taxes around the trendy movement.

That question nearly stumped John Kernohan, who has owned a tiny house for about four years, runs the United Tiny House Association and puts on tiny house festivals for charity and scholarships. Kernohan appreciated the adultsounding question so much he gave Justin a T-shirt for having the most thoughtful question of the morning.

“Just living off the grid is so refreshing,” Justin said, who later noted the low amounts of taxes that come with tiny houses.

“It just caught me off guard,” Kernohan said.

“This is coming from a sixth-grader?”

Kernohan and his wife, Fin, were connected to Coleman through a tiny house builder, Andrew Ringer, who owns Free Range Tiny Homes with

Tacos with a twist

Strange Taco Bar set to open in downtown Lawrenceville

BY CURT YEOMANS

curt.yeomans @gwinnettdailypost.com

Of all the things that could be inspired by “Dr. Strangelove (or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb),� a taco bar on the Lawrenceville Square probably wouldn’t be the first thing most people think of.

But Ben Bailey, Chris Collins and Scott Smith didn’t want to do what most people would expect with their new restaurant, Strange Taco Bar. The new restaurant, which is located in the old Local Republic space on Crogan Street, takes a lot of cues from the 1964 dark comedy film.

That includes a logo that shows a cowboy riding a bomb — a nod to the film’s famous scene of Slim Pickens’ character, Kong, riding a bomb as it falls from an Air Force plane, prompting a nuclear war. “We were trying to come up with a logo and the original thing that we had come up with was a cowboy that was getting attacked by a bull, or gored by a bull,� Collins said. “But we were like, Clockwise, from top left, Strange Taco Bar will open Monday in the old Local Republic location on Crogan Street. It’s a new concept from Local Republic’s owners who decided to open the new eatery after moving their original one around the corner. Lawrenceville artist Jodi Duke paints a ‘OK, that looks kind of

•From Page 9A weird. What if we had the cowboy riding something funny?’

“Me and Ben were talking back and forth about this and we got to ‘Well, what if he was riding a missile like in ‘Dr. Strangelove?’ So Ben came up with this logo and it was awesome, so then we were trying to come up with a name and we thought it just made sense to go with Strange Taco.”

Strange Taco Bar will open at 11 a.m. Monday, and marks a new concept for Bailey, Collins and Smith — all of whom are known around the area as the owners and chef of Local Republic, respectively. While their original restaurant is a full service restaurant, their new eatery is more in line with the fast casual format.

The opening of the Strange Taco Bar comes a few months after its owners opened the new Local Republic location around the corner on the square. That location had to open before the old space could be renovated and turned into the taco bar.

“We’re extremely excited,” Bailey said.

“It feels like it’s been a long time coming … We started in this building six-and-a-half years ago, so coming back into this and being able to redesign this space to make it more efficient has been exciting. We designed this and that’s one of the most rewarding pieces.

We get to see this thing come to life.”

But, while the name is inspired by “Dr. Strangelove,” it speaks just

as much to what will be found on the menu. It isn’t the traditional tacos that can be found at any old Mexican restaurant.

Bailey, Collins and Smith took a two-day trip to Austin to check out its taco bar scene so they could find out what works and what doesn’t and to find bits of inspiration for their menu and restaurant atmosphere.

“There’s like 200-300 taco shops in downtown Austin, a lot of them are in food trucks, so we went out there and hit up like 20-30 places in about 36 hours,” Collins said. “That is a lot of tacos.”

Smith later added, “I think it changed our whole idea of what we were going to do.”

There will be three traditional tacos that come with a choice of chicken, pork or beef, but there will also be specialty tacos such as a Korean Barbecue taco, a cauliflower taco, a fried green

tomato taco, a portabello taco, a braised lamb taco and a braised duck taco.

There will be four beers on tap, all from local breweries, as well as drinks — including Coca-Cola and Sprite — from Mexico, popsicles for both humans and dogs from King of Pops and King of Pups, and the meals will come with fortune cookies.

They will also serve a mineral water called Topo Chico, which Collins said was commonplace in restaurants they visited in Austin but rare in the Atlanta area.

Collins also said meals will cost, on average, around $10 per person.

“They’re smaller tacos, because we wanted people to be able to come in and order three or four different tacos, or if you’re with a group of people, to order a big platter of 20 tacos and everyone enjoys and shares them,” he said.

Initially, the restaurant

will be open from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m., but once the place is on its feet — which will be at least a month after it opens — Bailey, Collins and Smith plan to expand the hours and open for breakfast at 8 a.m.

There will be some specialty breakfast tacos, including one with sliced pepper jack cheese, eggs, broken up avocados and crunched up tortilla chips.

“It’s mind-blowing how a vegetarian taco can be so good,” Smith said.

But, despite the different concept, Collins said customers can still expect the same basic ideology that they would find at Local Republic.

“Even though it’s fast, we’re still using the same (general) concept of things in terms of quality ingredients, supporting local farms, supporting small farms and using fresh ingredients,” he said.

Strange Taco Bar will open Monday in the old Local Republic location on Crogan Street. It’s a new concept from Local Republic’s owners, who decided to open the new eatery after moving their original one around the corner.

The unfinished logo on the side of Strange Taco Bar shows the influence the film “Dr. Strangelove (Or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb)” has on the new Lawrenceville eatery.

Martin named chairman of regional insurers group State Sen. P.K. Martin, R-Lawrenceville, recently picked up a new responsibility outside of his legislative duties.

Martin, who works in the insurance industry, was elected as the Professional P.K. Martin Insurance Agents Southern Alliance’s new chairman.

“I appreciate the support and confidence of my colleagues in electing me to this leadership position,” Martin said. “I look forward to working collaboratively with agents in PIA’s Southern Alliance to continue strengthening our industry to best serve our clients.”

The alliance was established in 1937 under the name, Mutual Insurance Agents of Georgia, and offers leadership to more than 120,000 insurance agents in Georgia, Alabama and Mississippi.

“However, P.K. stands out for various reasons — community service, successful tenure in local elected government at a young age, a strong family and religious background, and a sincere desire to help other people — that will serve our three-state association well. Sen. Martin is the right leader at the right time. PIA is very fortunate.”

It will begin at 6:30 p.m., although the doors will open 30 minutes before that. The meeting will be held in the university’s Dr. Bobbie Bailey and Family Performance Center, which is located at 488 Prillaman Way in Kennesaw.

Jim Beck is running to replace current Insurance and Fire Safety Commissioner Ralph Hudgens, who recently announced he would not run for re-election next year. Beck, who will run as a Republican, said he wants to bring comprehensive change to Georgia’s insurance department, citing more than 30 years of experience with the insurance industry.

He pointed to insurance rate increases as one issue that needs to be tackled.

“Dramatic insurance rate increases have left many Georgia families struggling to pay premiums for even the most basic protection,” Beck said in his announcement.

“Simply put, the family budget has taken an unprecedented beating. While the job of Insurance Commissioner is very technical in nature and generally there is a long learning curve, I can say with absolute confidence that I will be a ‘Day 1’ Commissioner.”

Sanctuary cities vs. hideouts In biblical times, a sanctuary city was a place where someone who had committed unintentional manslaughter could find refuge from “the avenger of blood.”

If the offender left the sanctuary city, he could be set upon by a relative of the dead person and killed. No sanctuary was available to anyone who committed murder with malice aforethought.

Modern sanctuary cities are less reflective of their ancient namesakes and more like the hideouts established by train robbers and cattle rustlers during the days of the Wild West, as the current sanctuary city movement shields men and women who have broken federal law to reach the United States.

Threats by the Trump administration to hold back federal money from cities that Cal harbor illegal Thomas immigrants show some promise. In July, Attorney General Jeff Sessions announced new immigration compliance requirements for federal grant programs, including mandates that state and local entities must allow federal immigration access to detention facilities and provide 48 hours notice before authorities release an illegal immigrant wanted by federal authorities.

If states comply, they get the grants. If they do not, they get nothing.

Miami-Dade County in Florida and Clark County in Nevada have changed their minds about harboring lawbreakers. The Department of Justice has sent letters to both counties certifying that they are now in compliance with the law and are now cleared for federal grants.

Other sanctuary cities are not so cooperative. Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel has filed a lawsuit against the Department of Justice for threatening to withhold federal funds earmarked for local law enforcement. Given the shooting gallery Chicago has become, it’s difficult to see how more money will improve safety, especially on the city’s South Side, where an average weekend of violence often produces more casualties than in Afghanistan.

In Washington, where today’s “principled stand” can quickly be forgotten, Democrats have changed their view about an immigration plan they consistently supported for a decade. Democrats in Congress previously favored a policy that would have established a points system for selecting legal immigrants. Now that President Trump favors such a system, based on merit, Democrats suddenly oppose it. For such a U-turn the word “hypocrisy” was invented, but the left doesn’t care. They are about votes and winning elections, not actually fixing an immigration system everyone agrees is broken and needs repair.

Under regulations concerning cities of refuge established in the Book of Numbers (35:25) and the code of the Levitical priesthood, once an individual had claimed asylum, he had to be taken from the city to stand trial. If he was found innocent, he was returned under guard to the city in which he had claimed asylum. When the High Priest died, the person could return to his property.

That is a far cry from what modern mayors and governors want for their illegal immigrants. For them there is to be no arrest, no charge and no trial.

Some Maryland jurisdictions are talking about adding more localities to those that already allow undocumented immigrants to vote in local elections. It won’t be long before there are demands that they be allowed to vote in federal elections, which appears to be the objective of many Democrats who want and need the votes. They’d likely get them too, once undocumented immigrants become dependent on government programs.

Name a federal law you could get away with breaking. Could you find “sanctuary” away from the government’s long arm?

The lawsuit by Chicago’s mayor will likely reach the Supreme Court. That is what makes the elevation of Neil Gorsuch to that high bench so critical.

Lessons from a sojourn in Central Europe I have spent the last two weeks behind the Iron Curtain — or, I should say in the area that was once firmly in the throes of the communist bloc — puppet regimes of the USSR back before Ronald Reagan won the Cold War. I think I will just share a few random observations about Central Europe.

For one thing, nobody that I’ve found is nostalgic for the good old days of Stalin, Krushchev et al. I’ve spoken to everyone I’ve run across who seemed old enough to remember the “good old days,” and to a person they have shuddered at the memory.

1989 was a watershed year in Hungary, Slovakia, Eastern Germany and the Czech Republic. The people I have asked about the days under the regime all speak of 1989 with great reverence.

Communist era architecture is uglier than bowling shoes.

Great big cubes of gray concrete just don’t seem to cut it next to beautiful palatial buildings from the Baroque period.

The Soviets were so jealous of all things American — and so afraid that their people would find out how much fun we are — that they invented a lovable cartoon character of their own to take the place of Mickey Mouse in the hearts and souls

Darrell Huckaby of little communist children everywhere. It’s called the Little Mole, which debuted in 1956 in Prague. You can still buy the Little Mole in all sizes and they have him on T-shirts as well.

I have not, however, seen any Little Mole watches, nor have I heard of any Miller-Lands, honoring his creator, Zdenek Miller, so the space race isn’t the only game where we whipped the communists.

Some people are still really, really bitter. One of our tour guides, for instance, told us, “The history books tell us that we were raised under communism but that couldn’t be right because I learned in school as a little girl that under communism everyone is happy and everyone has exactly the same thing as everyone else and that everyone shares equally in the work and the reward. That is not at all how things were here before 1989, so I couldn’t have been living under communism.”

But, thankfully, when Ronald Reagan said, “Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall,” people were listening and the wall did come down. Now Central Europe is embracing American culture in many ways. For instance, in Wenceslas Square in Prague, which is named in honor of the good king from the Christmas song, there are six McDonald’s, two Burger Kings and a Kentucky Fried Chicken restaurant tucked among the restaurants serving pork knuckles, dumplings and mushroom soup.

They really like Coca-Cola over there and serve it primarily in 10-ounce bottles, like the ones we had when Coke went King Sized and went up in price from six cents to a dime. They haven’t quite gotten the hang of ice yet, but I am sure it’s just a matter of time.

There are a ton of New York Yankees fans throughout Hungary, Austria, East Germany, Slovakia and the Czech Republic. There must be because everywhere you go you see people wearing Yankee ball caps, and in every color imaginable — pink, green, and even some original navy blue.

Sorry, Neil “Hondo” Williamson, but the only Boston Red Sox cap I’ve seen over the past two weeks was worn by a guy

from Boston.

I asked one lady to tell me the greatest change since 1989, and she broke into a big smile and said, “Now, everywhere is toilet paper.” If that’s not an argument in favor of capitalism and free trade, I don’t know what is. Of course, the folks in Europe still haven’t completely grasped the concept of public toiletry. You still have to pay the equivalent of about 75 cents to use the outhouse in most public places.

Hollywood is big there, too, and they show American movies — with English subtitles — everywhere you go. In all the big cities, I’ve seen posters of Tom Cruise and Johnny Depp and George Clooney. I’m thinking all of those folks looking for a new home to get away from President Trump could consider moving over here.

I’ll tell you something else I have discovered on my most recent sojourn. Some people love to hate Americans and many of them criticize us and make fun of our ways, but I haven’t run across one person in my travels, not a single solitary one, who wouldn’t, given the chance, get on the plane and come back with me to live.

Not a single one.

North Korea now a country on the brink WASHINGTON — The North Korean nuclear threat is a “hinge” moment for the U.S. and China, and for the new international order both nations say they want.

If Washington and Beijing manage to stay together in dealing with Pyongyang, the door opens on a new era in which China will play a larger and more responsible role in global affairs, commensurate with its economic power. If the great powers can’t cooperate, the door will slam shut — possibly triggering a catastrophic military conflict on the Korean peninsula.

President Trump’s bullying style, even in dealing with trivial matters of domestic politics, obscures the extent to which he has tried to marry U.S. policy on North Korea with that of China. For the most part, he has been surprisingly successful. Beijing and Washington have mostly been aligned, as in last weekend’s unanimous U.N. Security Council vote in favor of additional sanctions against Pyongyang to punish its continued missile tests.

Washington’s diplomatic goal, although it hasn’t been stated publicly this way, is to encourage China to interpose itself between the U.S. and North Korea and organize negotiations to de-nuclearize the Korean Peninsula. The U.S. threat is that if China doesn’t help the U.S. find such a diplomatic settlement, America will pursue its own solution — by

David Ignatius military means, if necessary.

Trump amped up the rhetoric Tuesday, telling reporters: “(North Korea) will be met with fire and fury like the world has never seen.”

The U.S. threat may be a bluff, but with Trump, you never know. Top U.S. officials understand that a pre-emptive war against North Korea could result in horrendous loss of life and a post-conflict outcome that would be worse for all parties. But when national security adviser H.R. McMaster says that a nuclear-armed North Korea is “intolerable” to Trump, one should assume he means it — and that he is preparing a menu of military options.

Now comes the moment of nuclear brinkmanship. North Korea’s Foreign Minister Ri Yong Ho said Monday, in reaction to the U.N. vote and Chinese-American calls for talks: “We will under no circumstances put the nukes and ballistic rockets on the negotiating table.” Is he bluffing?

Again, we don’t know.

Some diplomats saw ambiguity in the vagueness of Ri’s

conditions for any talks. But many leading analysts believe that North Korea, rather than stepping away from the edge, is racing toward having an operational nuclear-missile capability that can strike the U.S, as a matter of self-protection.

Two intelligence assessments disclosed Tuesday added increased urgency to the crisis.

The Defense Intelligence Agency concluded late last month that North Korea has mastered the technology for a miniaturized nuclear warhead that could sit atop a missile that could hit America, according to The Washington Post. A white paper by Japan’s defense ministry reached a similar conclusion and warned that the nuclear threat was now an imminent problem.

North Korea’s rhetoric blasts the United States. But in a deeper way, it’s China that’s being put in an intolerable position by Pyongyang.

China has been flashing red lights about the North Korean program for more than a year.

President Kim Jong Un’s regime responded by conducting its fifth nuclear test last September and continuing its missile tests, despite urgent Chinese warnings. Kim’s slap to Beijing even included assassinating his half-brother, Kim Jong Nam, who was under Chinese protection.

North Korea’s defiance of the U.S. and China is rooted in its ideology of “juche,” or militant self-reliance. The official

North Korean website sums up the philosophy as: “independence in politics, self-sufficiency in the economy and self-reliance in national defense” — a creed that promotes go-it-alone confrontation.

What’s at stake in this confrontation was underscored by discussions last weekend at an annual gathering of the foreign policy establishment called the Aspen Strategy Group. This year’s meeting included five Trump administration officials, as well as a collection of former top officials from previous Republican and Democratic administrations.

Among the clearest points of consensus was that the North Korea crisis provides what one participant called a “catalytic” moment. If China and the U.S. can find a common path and resolve the crisis peacefully, they will succeed in “modernizing the global order,” which was the broad topic of the Aspen discussions.

And if they fail? If Trump’s fiery rhetoric alienates Beijing rather than motivating it? If Pyongyang decides to test its doctrine of self-sufficiency with a roll of the nuclear dice?

If Trump becomes the first president since John Kennedy to truly find himself at the nuclear brink? One way or another, the coming months will shape global security for many years ahead.

“It’s not easy,” Brandt said. “It’s hard to talk about.”

Never doubt Brandt’s feelings for the Gladiators organization and the players he’s already signed for 2017-18.

The emotion welled up as he looked at the list of players on the white board in his office.

“What we have developed up there, that’s what makes it so difficult,” Brandt said. “I’m a loyal

He also remembers what it was like when the Gladiators signed him out of college in the spring of 2007 with Jeff Pyle as the head coach and Steve Chapman as the general manager.

NASCAR MONSTER ENERGY CUP SERIES Pure Michigan 400 • Today, 3 p.m. (NBCSP) • Brooklyn, Mich.

Youth movement a financial boon

By Jonathan Ingram The Sports Xchange

Perhaps we should be referring to William Byron as the fourth. At the age of 19, the North Carolinian has been announced by team owner Rick Hendrick as one of his drivers next year in the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series.

Byron becomes the fourth young driver to join one of the major teams for next season, hence William the Fourth.

It may seem as though Byron is being coronated before ever stepping into a Cup car after winning seven races in the Camping World Truck Series in his first season and three during his current rookie year in the Xfinity Series.

Those are impressive stats and unprecedented, so he deserves his opportunity to move to the big leagues.

(Joey Logano’s stumble when he arrived at age 18 is still a fresh memory, but Byron will be 20 by the end of this season.)

For all his talent, Byron is part of the broader movement toward younger drivers by the front-line teams. Hendrick previously signed 24-year-old Alex Bowman to replace Dale Earnhardt, Jr.; Team Penske has called in its option on the services of 23-year-old Ryan Blaney; and Joe Gibbs Racing has done likewise with Erik Jones, who is 21.

Byron presents himself as confident, but not cocky. Don’t expect motor racing’s version of Bryce Harper.

“It’s definitely surprising,” Byron said of his rapid success. “I didn’t expect it out of myself. I feel like I’ve put the work into it and I’m learning on the job. That’s been the biggest thing for me, to learn from the best people I can have around me.”

The switch to younger drivers is inevitable, but particularly timely when it comes to the current sponsorship landscape. Teams are receiving less money from sponsors as a result of external and internal influences. In the current market, sponsors have a

multitude of choices in various racing venues and other sports. And, when they look at NASCAR, they see a series where TV ratings and attendance have declined.

For team owners, the sponsor numbers, when it comes to how many millions are paid, look better with a younger driver in the seat. The younger drivers are inclined to accept more old-fashioned deals, like a percentage of the purse, and forgo the recent trend of retainers priced well into seven figures.

There are no specific figures available from the contract of Byron. But his team owner in the Xfinity Series, Earnhardt Jr., has confirmed the retainers are not what they used to be. As NASCAR’s Most Popular Driver, who has enjoyed taking home a retainer for much of his career, Earnhardt Jr. should know. (It’s all relative.

It was Hendrick who started the trend when he signed Jeff Gordon and lured him away from Ford with a $750,000 offer in 1992. Byron has probably received a retainer better than that, but not anywhere close to what a driver in a similar circumstance might have been offered five years ago.)

The NASCAR TV numbers are still strong — an average viewership in the millions and nearly half the events on the schedule have decent attendance

figures. But perception about future returns is everything in business, so sponsorships are being pegged to current numbers and likely with various options for the future. Future success, meanwhile, now depends more than ever on the fresh, young faces in NASCAR. The sponsorship problems explain why a highpaid former champion, Matt Kenseth, is on the market after being replaced

by Jones. There was a time when champion status was golden, a circumstance that describes the career of Kurt Busch. A lot of pundits thought Roger Penske was making a mistake when he signed former champion Busch to succeed Rusty Wallace, himself a champion. Sponsor Miller Lite wanted a champion and Penske wanted Kenseth, who elected not to leave the team of Jack Roush.

So Penske hired Busch instead.

The hot ticket currently is accomplished youth. It helps that 25-year-old Kyle Larson has hit his stride and Logano finally came into his own in his mid20s. Along with Blaney, who scored his maiden victory this year, they prove the young drivers can not only win races, they can become dominant players and championship contenders, which is a sponsor’s dream.

The young drivers obviously offer an opportunity for sponsors to engage a younger fan base, which is money in the bank for marketing programs. But the youngsters are also costeffective for team owners now living in the charter system. Hendrick looks to be balkanizing his current sponsorship by splitting Axalta between the No. 88 of Bowman and the No. 5 car to be driven by Byron, who will also have backing from Liberty University.

It gives the appearance of a smaller budget than this year behind the departing Kasey Kahne, whose sponsors are also leaving.

Hendrick will also continue to pay Kahne’s retainer in 2018 during the final year of his contract

and looks to be forming an alliance with a team where Kahne will drive and earn his purse percentage.

The owner of Hendrick Automotive Group, Hendrick has on occasion likened his racing team to the car business. “I know the bad times are coming sooner or later,” he once said, “and I want to be ready for them.” Well, the bad times have arrived in terms of sponsorship.

It’s also a problem vexing others, such as Stewart-Haas Racing, Richard Childress Racing and Richard Petty Motosports. They are all holding out hope that come this fall they’ll be able to announce new sponsors and a full slate of entries.

Meanwhile, the careers of veterans Kenseth, Busch and Danica Patrick, plus new arrivals Ty Dillon and Darrell “Bubba” Wallace hang in the balance until the sponsorship picture comes into focus for these teams.

After Byron won the Xfinity race at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway in July, Hendrick was asked about the teenager’s future in the Cup. “We’re not ready to cross that bridge yet,” he replied.

But after Kahne won the Brickyard 400 the following day, qualifying him for the playoffs, and Bowman was signed up to represent Nationwide Insurance in the No. 88 Chevy, the timing was right to announce the arrival of Byron.

The driver, who started competing in the online iRacing series before he was old enough for a driver’s license, gives every appearance of living up to the opportunity presented

by Hendrick Motorsports, where he will join a relatively young lineup that includes Chase Elliott and seven-time champion Jimmie Johnson.

“His character is unbelievable,” said Hendrick “Very, very bright. He spends all his time either studying, or iRacing, in a simulator or in a racecar.

His rapid rate of success has just blown us all away.”

Wallace ends drought at Michigan

every day.”

It was Wallace’s first race in a truck since the last race of the 2014 season. It was his sixth win in a truck and first at Michigan.

After Wallace parked his truck in Victory Lane, it appeared that every member of his team took a turn to say congratulations. His girlfriend, Amanda Carter, leaned in and kissed him.

This was her first visit with him to a NASCAR Victory Lane. Still shaking a few minutes later, she said: “This is so incredible. It is so awesome.”

It certainly was that for Wallace, whose rollercoaster career appeared stalled this season.

Wallace, who opened 2017 as NASCAR’s only full-time African-American driver, lost his NASCAR Xfinity Series ride with Roush Fenway Racing earlier this year due to a lack of sponsorship. He debuted in the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series for four races as a replacement for injured Aric Almirola.

But since then, nothing.

Community service

GAC launches tennis academy with many offerings

By Collin Huguley Staff Correspondent

People in the Atlanta area have expressed a great interest in tennis over the years, and Greater Atlanta Christian is stepping up to the plate to help those in Gwinnett and surrounding areas tap into the sport on a higher level.

In January, the private school launched the GAC Tennis Academy, which will offer private lessons to not just students, but also adults, and will offer opportunities ranging from incorporating tennis into the school’s physical education program to the future incorporation of putting together teams to play on the United States Tennis Association circuit.

“I think the school, as a whole, was looking for different opportunities to add, not only to the students’ experience but also to the community’s,” Academy director Scott Hutchinson said. “With the strong influx of players that we have throughout the school, I think they saw that the school really needed to step up their game in the tennis environment.”

Hutchinson was brought in to lead the program after spending over a decade as a coach at TPC Sugarloaf and has coached players from the GAC community privately in the past.

“Scott is a nationally recognized tennis pro with a strong and positive reputation in Atlanta,” GAC vice president of finance and operations Josh Thomason said. “He possesses a strong faith that permeates everything he does. He’s the perfect fit for GAC.” The academy is open to, virtually, anyone willing to participate at any age and

from any area.

This program also will work to enhance the GAC tennis teams but is its own separate entity. The overarching goal is to get people involved in the sport and to provide chances for those who seek any form of future in tennis.

“One of the big things that are in our vision is always to provide a tennis environment inside the community but to also bring people from outside of the community in,” Hutchinson said. “The goal is to expose those that might never set foot on GAC’s campus to the offerings.”

The Spartans’ tennis teams are both solid programs, particularly the boys team, which has won seven state championships in its history. Combine that success with the buzz of tennis in the area, and the school sees a great potential to bring the community together with this new establishment.

“More than chang-

ing our culture, this is an expression of it,” Thomason said. “We have a lot of tennis fans here at GAC, along with multiple state team titles and graduates who’ve gone on to play in college. We’re pleased now to extend tennis opportunities through the GAC Tennis Academy.”

Also, the academy is unique in that schools very rarely establish academies of their own. This allows players to have an all-inone experience in tennis with their high-school team and academy being all in one location.

“GAC saw an opportunity to better serve our tennis-loving families by simplifying their lives,” Thomason said. “There’s no reason that they should have to come to school to pick up their child, take them to tennis lessons at another location, and then participate in their USTA league at yet another. They can do it all here. If we can help families find some

relief to the hectic pace of their day ... we will have accomplished much.”

For the director, this new venture is exciting.

Being able to bring a community together through the sport that he loves in this particular setting is an opportunity that could not be turned down.

Hutchinson also hopes to create a tennis culture of people being able to play both competitively at a high level and in a friendly, fun environment.

“From a tennis perspective, I want to have an environment for the kids, whether they want to take a recreational approach or a very serious approach,” Hutchinson said. “Tennis is a sport for a lifetime. My goal is to expose kids to the sport and have avenues for them to succeed.”

“From a personal standpoint, I’ve probably never worked harder in my life than I have in helping build this program. And I am loving every minute of it.”

Bryan Raines always wanted to own a golf course.

Once he was able to check that box off his list, Raines wanted to make sure the course is in good condition and fun to play. He’s been able to accomplish both at Ashton Hills Golf Club, where he’s been for 17 years.

Stroud, who arrived early to finish the second round before returning several hours later, looked like he might go into the final day with the lead until he stumbled late.

Jordan Speith’s bid to complete a career grand slam appears to be fizzling. He shot his best round of the tournament with a 71 on Saturday, but that left him at 3 over for the tournament and in a tie for 37th place.

“Obviously, any week you don’t have a chance to win, you’ve fallen short of where you would like to be,” Spieth said. “Disappointing would have been going home after two days. I think I saw some highlights today.”

Spieth, who won the British Open last month, made a move by stringing three bird-

ies on Nos. 14-16, only to be stuck with a double-bogey on the final hole.

“Kind of stinks because it sets me back there,” he said. “(No.) 18 is just a ridiculously hard hole today.”

J.B. Holmes shot 67 on Saturday, moving to 1 over for the tournament. He’s among many golfers who’ve noted the changing conditions, particularly stemming from Friday’s late-day rain.

“I’m sure everybody is happy it rained and softened up a little bit,” Holmes said.

“It would have been almost impossible if it hadn’t got any rain.”

Note: Graham DeLaet had two eagles on consecutive holes (Nos. 14-15). That helped him to a 68, moving to 2 under for the tournament and into a tie for seventh place.

Comets GDP brings back picks contest for cash prizes The Gwinnett Daily Post is once again launching its High School Football ‘Pickem contest. Each week, users can pick the winners of that week’s high school games.

For the third year, Flat-Out Auto Accessories in Buford is sponsoring the contest — giving away $100 each week to the user with the most correct games.

“We are very excited to have FlatOut sponsoring the contest again,” said Jason Braverman, web operations manager for Southern Community Newspapers, the parent company of the Daily Post.

The contest has always been one of the more popular contests that the Daily Post manages.

“Football in Gwinnett is huge. This is another way our readers can be involved and feel like they are a part of the action,” Braverman said.

The Daily Post also runs a college and pro football ‘pickem contest. To play any of these games, go to www.gwinnettdailypost.com/contests.

Gwinnett’s football season begins with 13 regular-season games Friday, followed by four Corky Kell Classic Games on Saturday at Georgia State Stadium.

— From staff reports he was finished playing basketball for South), Mascoll’s focus has been on becoming a dominant pass-rusher this offseason.

Early in his career, Mascoll said he just relied on his speed, but he’s worked on his technique and has

lofty goals for himself outside of improving upon South’s 8-4 record — which included a state playoff win — last season.

“I just see myself being a leader on and off the field and just leading by example,” he said. “Just

making plays really. Making way more plays than I made last year. Trying to get double-digit sacks and whatnot. Just definitely getting to the quarterback. Finishing the sacks.

Because last year I missed a lot of sacks. So yeah, I just see myself being that dominant pass-rusher.”

Davenport, who played at Georgia Tech and was Savannah State’s head coach, said he’s been impressed with Mascoll’s leadership since he took over the program from John Small in the spring.

His plan for Mascoll this season is to stand him up on the edge in the 4-3 defense, potentially lining him up at outside linebacker at times in odd-man fronts, and set him loose on opposing backfields.

“We’re going to stand him up and go rush the passer,” Davenport said.

“I’m not a big believer of putting his hand on the ground. I want him to see what he’s going to get.

Especially a kid that tall.

That’s just my own personal opinion, but I think it’s just as much effort standing up if his hands on the ground than it is just starting that way. So we’re going to stand him up and

tell him to go get after people.”

Both Cooper and Mascoll move better than players of their size should be able to. Especially Cooper, which makes him a wrecking ball of his own right in the middle.

“He’s got size, but he’s strong and he’s unusually quick for a kid his size,” Davenport said. “I was sitting in my office when I first got here and they were working out and I was like, ‘This big boy can move,’ which was a surprise for me. His size, strength and ability is really a combination that you don’t see often in a kid at this level. At the next couple levels you’ll see it, but the combination of those three things really make him an outstanding football player.”

The defensive line will be the strength of a stout South defense this season.

In addition to Cooper and Mascoll, the Comets also have senior Minnesota commit Abi Okonji and Hillgrove transfer Nick Grier along the line.

“We all feed off each other,” Mascoll said. “It’s just a part of that chemistry. Like, ‘It’s time to get things going.’”

“And there’s times during a college season that you’re going to be really busy, too. But from a support system, and to have family 90 minutes away, is important, especially with Willis being 3 years old.”

Another lure is having a chance to learn from Coghlin, who has been at St. Norbert for 25 years and won four Division III national championships in the last 10 years.

“For me, being a younger coach, that’s appealing to have a mentor,” Brandt said. “For my personal development, I thought that was important.”

Then there’s the opportunity to recruit and coach a player for four years.

“Having been a college player, I know the importance of that,” Brandt said. “Your coaching staff is crucial in your development, not just as a hockey player, but as a person.

“When you add all those factors together, it still doesn’t make it easy to leave this organization, but the timing seemed to be right. There’s a big part of me that will never leave.

“I don’t mean it to sound like I’m not excited for the opportunity at St. Norbert and to live a little closer to home. I’m really excited for it. But you don’t forget about people who have given you an opportunity and taken a chance on you. I’ll never forget that.”

Medlen leads G-Braves to win

By David Friedlander david.friedlander@ gwinnettdailypost.com

LAWRENCEVILLE — The seeming ease with which Gwinnett Braves pitcher Kris Medlen was throwing in the early innings of Saturday night’s start against the Louisville Bats belied how uncomfortable he felt before rain briefly halted play in the third inning.

“My back got a little tight (Saturday) getting going,” the major league veteran with the Atlanta Braves and the Kansas City Royals said. “So (during) that rain delay, I kind of worked on it and got a heating pad on it, and I felt so much better. I thought my stuff was better the second three innings than the first three innings.”

Whether it was the quick treatment during the rain delay or the eight hits and seven runs of support he got from his teammates, the resulting 7-3 win before 6,581 fans at Coolray Field was pretty strong medicine for both Medlen and the G-Braves.

Kyle Kubitza was 2-for3 with a triple and drove in two runs, while Ronald Acuña went 2-for-5 with a double and a solo home run as the G-Braves won their third straight game in the series.

But it was Medlen (26) who set the tone with perhaps his most complete outing since being promoted to Triple A in his comeback attempt from a shoulder injury despite coming to the park with his aforementioned back stiffness.

“My daughter slept with us last night, so I probably slept wrong,” said Medlen, who allowed just two hits and the one run with four strikeouts against one walk over six innings. “I just didn’t feel right coming out from the get-go.

But I located my fastball

well, and my breaking ball was good, too.”

The game didn’t start out well for Medlen when Darnell Sweeney hit a fly ball to center field that Micah Johnson didn’t get a good jump on before it sailed over his head for a lead-off double.

But the 31-year-old right-hander limited the damage to only a sacrifice fly by Hernan Iribarren to give Louisville a quick 1-0 lead.

But Medlen would allow only one more hit and allowed just one baserunner to make it as far as second base the rest of what was a dominant outing.

It was an outing that still might have been longer than 77 pitches (52 for strikes) over six innings if not for a 41-minute rain delay just as he was coming to bat in the bottom of the third.

The good news was that the G-Braves gave Medlen much more offensive support than the 1.55 runs per game they have given him in his previous 11 starts with the club.

Chappell pitches a perfect game From Staff Reports

of these days,” Kubitza said. “We haven’t had one of these days in a while.

It seems like everyone was hitting the ball hard and squaring it up at some point. A lot of good swings, too, that resulted in outs, but it’s good to get a team win. Good pitching, good hitting and good defense. Med’s been great for us, and it was nice to give him some run support.”

It started with one out in the bottom of the second when Dustin Peterson, doubled and eventually came around to score two batters later on another double by Carlos Franco to tie the game at 1-1.

David Freitas then hit a sacrifice fly to put Gwinnett in front for good at 2-1, and the G-Braves really got the bats going an inning later.

Nine men came to the plate, and the G-Braves cashed in three hits and three walks into four runs, with Kubitza’s two-run triple being the big blow.

“I was just trying to get something in the middle of the plate and trying to hit it hard somewhere,”

said Kubitza, who is hitting .308 with a homer and three RBIs in his last four games since moving into the starting lineup at second base earlier in the week. “Sometimes you can overthink (an at-bat), but luckily, I didn’t do that.”

Rio Ruiz also had an RBI with a single in the inning, and Gwinnett had a 6-1 lead when it was done.

Acuña, who had a 10-game hitting streak snapped on Friday, then blasted a solo homer into the bullpen to lead off the fifth, his fifth since being promoted to Triple A last month and 17th overall for the season, to make it 7-1.

That lead stood up despite a two-run double in the eighth by Louisville’s Phil Ervin off Akeel Morris, as Dan Winkler and David Peterson each pitched a scoreless inning out of the bullpen.

The G-Braves go for the sweep today at 1:05 p.m. when they send lefthander Luiz Gohara (0-2, 5.17 ERA) to the mound against Bats lefty Amir Garrett (1-3, 6.25 ERA).

Harrison carries Stars past Dream

Baseball

SUNDAY, AUGUST 13, 2017 • 5B

The Stars burst away from a 23-19 lead after the first quarter by outscoring Atlanta 21-12 in the second to take a 44-31 advantage to intermission.

San Antonio outshot the Dream 58.1-41.2 percent from the floor over the first 20 minutes of play and got points from eight players in the half. Harrison, Plum and Jefferson had eight points apiece, with Jefferson returning to the lineup after missing the past two games with a lingering knee injury.

Atlanta showed the effects of playing on Friday and traveling overnight to

the Alamo City, especially with its lack of aggressiveness on offense. The Dream, who earned just two free throw chances in the first half — they made them both — and had eight turnovers, were led by the eight points from Williams and Sykes.

Harrison scored 11 of San Antonio’s first 16 points in the third quarter as the Stars built their lead to 60-44 at the 2:31 mark and settled for a 68-54 margin heading into the final quarter.

Atlanta heads home for a game Tuesday against Connecticut.

Peachtree Ridge splits SUWANEE — Peachtree Ridge defeated Jefferson 5-1 but fell to Effingham 2-0 as the hosts of its own softball tournament. After splitting a pair of games Friday night to start their season, the Lions (2-2) had the same thing happen on Saturday.

In the victory over Jefferson, Felise Collins belted a home run to lead the offense. Riley Hudson had two hits, while Aleix Hudson scored twice. Destyn Jones drove in two runs.

Jennifer Nolan also collected three hits and had 3 RBIs while Henning and Gracie Taylor each collected two.

Henning also picked up the win in the circle against Lovett.

The victory was the 50th of her career and she already is the Wesleyan career leader for wins.

She also helped herself out at the plate by adding two more hits while teammate Megan Gallagher drove in three runs for the Wolves (2-0).

VOLLEYBALL VOLLEYBALL Wesleyan hosts Elite 8 playdate PEACHTREE CORNERS — Wesleyan faced off against some of the state’s best volleyball teams on Saturday as the Wolves went 1-3 at the Elite 8 playdate.

Wesleyan defeated Chattahoochee in two sets but fell to Dunwoody in two, Harrison in two and Blessed Trinity in three sets. Harrison and Blessed Trinity are the defending state champions in Class AAAAAA and AAAA, respectively.

Grace Taylor had 20 kills and 16 digs while Elizabeth Bruehl added 11 kills and 17 digs for the Wolves (3-3).

Hebron wins four LILBURN — Hebron won all four matches it played Saturday, all without losing a set. The Lions defeated Lakeview Academy 25-17, 25-21 and then took care of George Walton 25-9, 25-15.

TAKING THE

NEXT STEPS

‘Multifaceted’ bat house project fosters growth in adults with special needs

BY CAILIN O’BRIEN

cailin.obrien@gwinnettdailypost.com

Soon, nine hand-built wooden nursery bat houses will stand on the Sugar Hill Golf Course and at the city’s Gary Pirkle Park.

To most, they’ll look like flat, brown boxes with an opening on the bottom. A few will know that their many compartments are meant to serve as breeding sanctuaries for bats.

Even fewer will understand that the boxes represent projects that fostered important mental, physical and social skills in the people who worked on them.

“It really was multifaceted,” Kathy Cookson said.

Cookson is an occupational therapist. She worked with the 25 special needs adults who built and donated the bat houses through The Next Stop, a nonprofit program designed to stimulate and challenge those adults after they’ve aged out of the school system.

“You’re just continuing on the path,” Vicki LaRoche said. “You don’t want anybody to go backwards, which is a big risk after school ends at 22.”

Vicki LaRoche and her husband, Stu LaRoche, founded Suwaneebased The Next Stop in September 2007 after they watched their developmentally disabled daughter, Lindsey, struggle with life after school. They wanted a different outcome for their younger son, Tyler, who lives with similar disabilities. Through The Next Stop, the LaRoches created an interactive environment where Tyler and his peers could continue learning and developing.

“We feel like that we provide opportunities for experiences,” Vicki said. “So that they can experience things that maybe they couldn’t otherwise.”

Cookson sets up those experiences. She carefully designs activities that will most help develop The Next Stop members — with an emphasis on fun.

“Research in this field shows that fun activities have a greater benefit,” Cookson said. “What we know is that when we do functional, meaningful activities, we have the emotional engagement of enjoying the task. That makes our involvement in the task so much more.”

When Sugar Hill approached The Next Stop about building bat houses for its park system, Cookson knew they’d stumbled across one of those dual-purpose activities.

For one thing, the members loved it.

“It was fun,” member Nicholas said. “That’s my first time building

(For the privacy of the families involved, The Next Stop asked that the Daily Post publish only the first names of its members.)

Nicholas wasn’t just having a few laughs as he worked on the construction project.

“It’s huge all the different skills just building a bat house continues to work on,” Cookson said.

Members began honing those skills before building even began. In the weeks before the project, Cookson taught The Next Stop members about bats and how bat houses worked.

“I think it’s important for our members to connect with why we’re building these bat houses,” she said.

“Bats eat insects, and that was one of the main reasons why the city of Sugar Hill wanted to place bat houses in its parks system — so they could help to control

Next Stop

the insect population without using harmful pesticides.”

As they began to learn about the creatures that would soon settle in their houses, members also trained their muscles for the physical skills building a bat house would require.

Cookson said they held other items, such as musical instruments, to help their minds and muscles understand the feeling of the tools.

“They learned the movement you would use for a

hammer or a screwdriver and the weight of things,” she said.

By the time the members began building the bat houses in April, they were ready to excel in a task that would challenge them both physically and cognitively.

“My role was to help them perform as independently as they can at their highest level and to help them feel accomplished, which is meaningful,” Cookson said.

She consulted with a member’s father, who worked as a carpenter.

Together, they hashed out instructions for building bat houses, which Cookson printed in a way she knew members could understand.

“That gave them the cognitive task of following directions,” she said.

Throughout the building process, Cookson and volunteers continued to give the members as much independence as possible.

That allowed the members to flex their cognitive and physical muscles. Walker and two woodworkers from the Gwinnett Woodworkers Association supervised The Next Stop members as they worked, but they were careful not to intervene too much.

“We were thrilled with how well the woodworkers worked here with our members,” Vicki said. “It’s very easy for all of us to think we’re helping when we take

the drill from them. It takes a lot of patience (to let them do it themselves).”

But that patience paid off.

Vicki said it wasn’t long before members were drilling, hammering and painting with efficiency.

“We were looking around saying, ‘Wow, look at them,’” she said. “All of the sudden, our members were doing things we weren’t even sure they were going to be able to do.”

The members were impressed with themselves, too. Vicki took a video of a member named Brittany as she posed with her drill held triumphantly over her head after she had pushed a line

“I learned to nail the nails into the right place, too,” she said. “If you learn something, then you know what to do next.”

Cookson and the LaRoches said that sense of accomplishment Brittany felt as she hammered nails and drilled screws was the biggest value the members tended to take away from the bat house experience.

“There’s a sense of pride,” Stu said. “They made it. And they get to give it away.”

Sugar Hill Recreation Director Andy McQuagge said he was thrilled to receive the bat houses from The Next Stop on July 20.

The bat houses haven’t been set up yet — McQuagge said officials are still trying to determine the best places for them.

But he said he expects them to “play a vital part in our environment.”

“Projects such as these are the cornerstone of (how) our city and recreation department (helps) to build a strong sense of community,” McQuagge said.

Realizing they can play an important role in that sense of community has benefited The Next Stop’s members more than holding any tools or learning about any bats every could, Cookson said.

“Doing things that benefit others helps us feel needed,” she said. “And when we feel needed, we feel valued. We’re helping our members feel they have purpose and value because they’re capable of helping others. That’s huge.”

8 p.m. on FOX Teen Choice 2017 Oh, yes, there will be surfboards ... and, as usual, they’ll be presented as “trophies” to the winners of these honors, chosen by fans via online and social-media means. Among the television, movie, music and sports contests, two categories — Choice Throwback TV Show (think “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” or “One Tree Hill,” both nominated) and Choice Latin Artist — are new this year.

The now-ended “Pretty Little Liars” is the top TV nominee, with seven bids.

8 p.m. on ABC Bachelor in Paradise Talk about having your reputation precede you: As is widely known, Season 4 of this series in the unscripted franchise shut down production over alleged misconduct involving two contestants, but taping eventually resumed ... thus yielding this two-part season premiere that continues Tuesday.

The situation will be addressed on the show, per host Chris Harrison, as veterans of “The Bachelor” and “The Bachelorette” again seek love in Mexico.

8 p.m. on LIFE Project Runway Emmy-winning hosts Heidi Klum and Tim Gunn return for Season 16 of the reality competition series, this time with a (literally) plus-size twist: This season’s models range in size from 0 to 22, which means the designers will be expected to create flattering styles for women of any size within that range. In addition to Klum, Nina Garcia and Zac Posen return to the judging panel, along with such rotating guest judges as Demi Lovato, Katie Holmes, Olivia Munn and Kate Upton.

10:30 p.m. on TBS The Guest Book Jaime Pressly, who previously worked with series creator Greg Garcia on “My Name Is Earl,” stars in the new “Story Four” as Christy, who’s hoping to get closer to new boyfriend Paul (John Ortiz) and his little daughter during a weekend in the mountains.

Unfortunately, her nervousness leads her to self-medicate a bit too heavily and she winds up revealing a few skeletons in her closet.

10 p.m. on USA Shooter In the new episode “The Man Called Noon,” Bob Lee (Ryan Phillippe) struggles to piece together clues that may help deduce Solotov’s (Josh Stewart) motive for targeting his unit, so he and Isaac (Omar Epps) turn to a very unlikely source for help.

Meanwhile, their quarry is hiding in plain sight. Nadine (Cynthia Addai-Robinson), meanwhile, finds a witness to the event that set everything in motion.

With his brother Damon Wayans Sr. enjoying series success with “Lethal Weapon,” fellow “In Living Color” alum Marlon Wayans also tries weekly television again with this new sitcom loosely based on his own life. The “Pilot” introduces him as a divorced father very involved in raising his children with his ex-wife (Essence Atkins), though his guidance is sometimes questionable. Well, OK: Make that “often” questionable.

Another episode follows.

Melodies from familiar fantasies are woven throughout the new “Vienna Philharmonic Summer Night Concert 2017,” as Christoph Eschenbach conducts the orchestra in the Imperial Garden of Austria’s Schonbrunn Palace.

A very notable guest soloist — opera icon Renee Fleming — also participates, with some of the selections drawn from Tchaikovsky’s “The Sleeping Beauty,” Humperdinck’s “Hansel and Gretel” and even John Williams’ “Harry Potter” movie scores.

SATURDAY

Web. Anna Chlumsky (“Veep”) joins the cast this year, too.

The conditions also hampered airborne rescuers in finding the trio.

9 p.m. on AMC Halt and Catch Fire The critically acclaimed if underwatched period drama starts its fourth and final season with a two-hour episode that finds main characters Joe, Cameron, Donna and Gordon (Lee Pace, Mackenzie Davis, Kerry Bishe and Scoot McNairy) pondering their shifting personal and professional relationships while navigating the early days of the World Wide

Siemens donates $500 to Cornerstone Christian Academy Siemens employees have struck up a partnership at Norcross’ Cornerstone Christian Academy and have committed $500 to the school.

In the spring, Siemens employees across the country volunteered as part of the “Spring Into STEM” campaign to mentor students, highlight STEM careers, judge science fairs and lead Siemens STEM Day activities for K-12 and college students in classrooms, at Siemens sites and during community STEM events.

More than 300 employees reached more than 13,200 students across 13 states during a four-month period.

In March, the Siemens Norcross location hosted a Siemens Science Day

for Cornerstone Christian Academy. Employees from four divisions helped teach fourth-grade classes at the school.

Following the STEM campaign, an internal social network competition was held to win a $500 donation to two student organizations that were supported this spring. Cornerstone was one of the two winners for the donation, getting the most likes in the internal campaign.

Is your business a mercenary or a missionary?

Companies want customers to love them.

Bosses want people to love their jobs. Yet many leaders will tell you: Emotion has no place in business.

This is cognitive dissonance at best, dangerous at worst.

Let’s start with the cognitive dissonance. To think you can strip emotion out of the workplace and create a successful business is lunacy. Human endeavors are by their very nature emotional. Success depends on goodwill, cooperation, empathy and other nuanced emotions, including love.

When Mark Zuckerburg talks about Facebook, he’s emotional. He’s passionate; he cares about how Facebook is affecting the world at large. In a recent commencement address,

discussions about feelings, leaders like Zuckerburg lean into the emotional yearning we all have to be part of something bigger than ourselves.

Zuckerburg has chosen the missionary path. His organization is going to make a difference, and he knows that emotions play Lisa McLeod a big role.

In the summers of late, summers where I and not Mama tell myself what to do, it is the sore thumb I miss the most.

Just the other day, I rubbed my pointer finger over the edge of my thumb and I missed the tenderness that attached itself to that appendage and stayed there from July until mid-August.

Oh, I had a couple of pricks and ouches on that thumb. I had picked up a splinter from the boarded fence at the barn when I was feeding the horses.

Then, the next day, as I trimmed the rose bushes – with gloves on – I had stuck a thorn in and ripped a bit of flesh away.

I’m a farm girl, though, who pays little attention to any such. That’s how I was raised. I’d see Mama with a cut on her hand and ask, “How’d you get that?” She’d shrug and say, “I don’t know how I did that.”

Or I’d see Daddy come in from a day of bush hogging, his forearms scratched and bubbled up with tiny droplets of blood. “Are you OK?” I asked, concerned. He barely glanced at all the damage. “Yeeaaahhh,” he drawled out. “I just got caught up in some brier bushes.”

Now, it’s Tink turn to ask me about the bumps, bruises, scratched and torn skin. Like Mama and Daddy, I usually shrug it off and, just like them, I usually say, “I don’t know how I did that.” It seemed odd to me when I was a child

different decisions about what they pursue and what they don’t pursue. They’re intentional about addressing the emotional effect they can have on their clients, and ultimately the world.

It may seem safer to shy away from emotion. But the results indicate otherwise. Leaders unable to connect to the emotional needs of employees or customers create transactional organizations, solely dependent on the economic self-interest of the players involves.

Which leads us to the mercenary approach. Examples abound of organizations and leaders who have lost touch with their people and clients and saw their businesses fail.

Re-learning a vital parenting lesson: setting limits One of the best things about being a grandparent is getting to relive some of the best parts of your own parenting experience — swinging, climbing, swimming — without having to deal with the not-so-fun parts, like discipline.

However, even though as a grandparent you are entitled to spoil your grandkids — I’m pretty sure that’s in the U.S. Constitution — that doesn’t mean you don’t occasionally have to set (and enforce) some limits.

I was reminded of that during a recent visit with my daughter and her family, where I had the opportunity to re-learn a

Rob Jenkins vital parenting lesson.

We were sitting in the den reading books one morning when my 2-year-old granddaughter decided to dive off the couch onto her head, something she does frequently. She’s a tough little thing (having an older brother will do that) and absolutely irrepressible, so she

usually just pops up, laughing.

The night before, however, she had gotten a pretty good bump, so I grabbed her as she was attempting to execute her forward tuck with a half-twist (degree of difficulty: 2.5) and told her no diving off the couch. She objected, vociferously, but the more she squealed and squirmed, the tighter I held on.

She quickly became hysterical, but I just continued to hold her tightly on my lap, whispering in her ear that I loved her and didn’t want to see her get hurt.

Eventually, she calmed down.

I was afraid she would hold this episode against me. She’d been a little standoffish up to that point, anyway, taking to Nanna (my lovely wife, Bonnie) much quicker than to Papa. (Then again, who doesn’t?)

But then a strange thing happened. After the hysteria passed, she settled in on my lap and stayed there for a while.

At one point, she hopped down (on her feet, this time) and went off to play — but she returned in a few minutes, climbed up beside me, and snuggled under my arm.

That was the most she’d warmed to me in three days.

That episode highlights

a point every parent should always keep in mind: Children need limits. Indeed, they crave them. Knowing there are boundaries they can’t cross, and which will be consistently enforced, makes them feel loved and secure.

It’s easy to be the permissive parent, and even easier to convince ourselves that we’re giving in to our kids out of love. And perhaps that’s so, to an extent.

I understand, too, that sometimes other factors are involved, like parental guilt over working all the time and the fact that, since other parents are so permissive, the parent who enforces

limits seems strict by comparison.

But if we really love our kids, we’ve got to be willing to be that strict parent when necessary — to set reasonable limits and then enforce them consistently. That could well keep them from face-planting on the floor — or something much, much worse.
