TOO LAX?

BY ISABEL HUGHES

Two months ago, the name Tafahree Maynard meant little to the Gwinnett community; aside from friends, family and those who crossed paths with the 18-year-old, few would have given his mention a second thought.

To Gwinnett County District

Attorney Danny Porter, however, the name, which many now recognize as that of the teen accused of gunning down Gwinnett County Police Department Officer Antwan Toney on Oct. 20, indicated a threat to society, something the DA’s office tried to impress upon the Gwinnett County Juvenile Court.

Despite prosecutors’ attempts to have Maynard remanded to

School — Maynard ultimately served less than a year probation total for his delinquencies, prompting some to ask: Did the county’s juvenile court system fail?

Gangs, fights and bullets While the Daily Post cannot report on the date or nature of Maynard’s “first encounter” with the law — Gwinnett County Ju-

venile Court Judge Robert Waller ruled that the record “is not subject to inspection” — available juvenile court documents show that Maynard’s trouble began in early November of 2015 when Shiloh High administrators contacted police “in reference to possible gang activity taking place at the school involving See MAYNARD, Page 5A

Even before the Christmas season arrived, delivery trucks dropping off packages to Jennifer Stahl’s home in Buford was a common occuurence. The packages arriving were because of her son and not Santa, though.

It isn’t a Christmas wish that Christian Stahl is trying to fill, but a noble goal — to collect a new pair of pajamas for every foster child in Gwinnett County.

A shopping day to say thank you!

From staFF reports Gwinnett police are looking for two suspects who robbed a pharmacy in unincorporated Lawrenceville on Nov. 14.

According to police, the two men entered the Walgreens, located at 2365 Buford Drive, about 9:45 p.m. Nov. 14. Surveillance footage shows one suspect purchasing a pair of socks — and once the cash register is opened he jumps over the counter and begins taking out the cash.

The other suspect reaches over the counter to help.

The two men were able to grab “a couple hundred dollars” according to the police report, and fled the parking lot in a silver, four-door Toyota Camry headed toward Interstate 85. Police described both suspects as black men — one 6-foot-2 and 160 pounds and the other 6-foot tall and 160 pounds.

Gwinnett police are asking anyone with information about the case to contact GCPD detectives at 770-513-5300. To remain anonymous, tipsters

agreed on Tuesday to enter an agreement with the CID to cover the $310,000 local match on federal funding for the trail project.

The agreement states the full cost of right-of-way acquisition for the trail is expected to be $1.55 million.

The federal funds are being administered and distributed by the Georgia Department of Transportation, and documents show GDOT will release the funding to the county, which will manage rightof-way acquisition.

The county’s actual portion of that is $235,000 for right of way costs and the CID will contribute $75,000. The federal funding coming through GDOT will total $1.24 million.

The county’s portion of the match will be paid for with 2017 special purpose local option sales tax funds.

The trail has been in the works for years. The CID states on its website that the trail will primarily be along the Indian TrailLilburn Road corridor and builds off a Safe Routes to School trail project on Beaver Ruin Road.

“This trail system will transform Indian Trail-Lilburn Road into a healthy and economically robust ‘spine’ that connects five Livable Center Initiative areas,” Gateway85 officials said on the CID’s website. “With easy accessibility for cyclists and pedestrians, this project will help Gateway85 truly live up to its name, connecting communities.”

Flu shot may reduce future risk of dementia Dear Dr. roaCH: I’ve read mixed reviews as to whether the flu shot can contribute to Alzheimer’s disease. I’m anxious to see your input.

— J.W. ansWer: There is no reliable evidence, nor any good biological plausibility, that influenza vaccination increases the risk of either Alzheimer’s disease or other types of dementia. In fact, there are several studies showing a reduced risk of dementia in people who get regular influenza vaccines. I have read well-done studies looking at people with heart failure, people with kidney disease and overall people over age 65 — all show a decreased risk of dementia among those who regularly get the vaccine.

There is a risk in these kinds of studies, because people who get regular vaccines are more likely to see their doctors, have blood pressure and blood sugar well-controlled, eat better and exercise more, all of which help protect against dementia. However, the authors did their best to statistically control for these factors and still found a benefit from regular vaccination.

One might think that reducing the risk of death by influenza vaccination would be enough motivation, but still too few people get the vaccine. Maybe knowing that there is no increased risk, and possibly a decreased risk, for dementia will encourage people to get their vaccine.

Dear Dr. roaCH: What can you tell me about hypereosinophilic syndrome? My brother is being worked up for this or a possible mutation of this disease. He has suffered for a few years with symptoms.

Many doctors later, one thinks this is the diagnosis.

He’s had 10 biopsies, so why did it take so long? Is it that rare? What is the treatment?

— Anon. ansWer: Hypereosinophilic syndrome is indeed very rare, seen in perhaps 1 in a million people. Eosinophils are a type of white blood cell that are helpful for the body’s defenses, especially against parasites. In HES, however, the body makes far too many eosinophils (we often say “eos,” for short), and these can infiltrate healthy tissues, especially the lung, skin and gastrointestinal tract. As such, common symptoms are cough and shortness of breath, rash and weight loss or stomach pain. Occasionally, the disease affects the brain, eye or heart.

The diagnosis is suspected when the eosinophils in the blood are present at too high a level.

A persistent total eosinophil count over 1,500 should make the clinician suspect the diagnosis. Often eosinophils are given only as a percentage, so to get the total count, you need to multiply the percentage by the total white count.

The biopsy I think you are referring to is of the bone marrow. The bone marrow specimens should be evaluated for genetic mutations.

An expert in evaluation certainly should be involved.

A hematologist is usually the person who makes the diagnosis in association with the hematopathologist.

Friend beats addictions, develops eating disorder Dear amy: “Charlotte,” my dear lady friend of many years, looks more like a string bean than a human being because she has been purging.

Charlotte has recently overcome addictions to smoking and alcohol, concurrently. She has a distorted image of her figure and exercises to extreme in order to maintain that appearance.

I realize that she needs to convince herself to turn the tide and take action in order to tackle this latest problem, and I’ve let her know that she’s at a great risk of increased illness, if she stays so thin.

She has yet to seek professional advice.

I’m wondering if it would work if I got some trusted family members and close friends together in order to confront her and speak some wisdom to her?

— Concerned Chap Dear ConCerneD: According to a paper published by the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (niaaa.nih. gov), many studies show that alcoholism and eating disorders frequently “co-occur,” but as yet, no definitive link between the two addictive disorders has been identified.

All of this is to say that your friend’s other addictions are likely related to her current bulimia, that this is complicated and that she needs professional help to deal with her underlying issues before

Ask Amy

Amy Dickinson she can get healthy.

Interventions — by family and friends — seem easy. You just get together and go around the table and tell the affected party that you are worried about her and that you want her to get help.

And then the subject of the intervention rages, or cries or sits sullenly, or tells you all to go to hell, leaves the table and stops communicating with you because, even though your intentions were great and you were all gentle and loving, she feels attacked and misunderstood.

If this happens, then “Charlotte” will be without the thing she needs the most, which is contact with loyal and loving friends.

This is why interventions are best led by professionals. A therapist or other specialist can deliver constructive and concrete ideas, as well as the inspiration and incentive to begin treatment.

By all means, share your concerns with your friend: “You’ve been through so much lately.

I’m worried because

you’ve gotten so thin. Are you seeing a therapist?”

Offer to help her find one. And also continue to accept her as she is. She has a serious illness.

The National Eating Disorders Association offers a “find treatment” tool (nationaleatingdisorders.org), as well as a helpline that she (or you) could call: (800) 9312237.

Dear amy: I attend a professional networking potluck lunch every week.

This is our lunch hour and the only opportunity some of us have to eat lunch that day. Most of us bring a substantial main or side dish to share.

Occasionally, attendees bring nothing at all, or, as recently happened, a group of four co-workers from the same office brought a small box of chocolates.

We are not at risk of running out of food, as most people bring more than enough, so it seems petty to quibble about the amount and type of food someone brought, but this is puzzling, especially as we are all working professionals. What is a polite, but clear message to such potluck participants?

— Puzzled by Skimpers Dear PuzzleD: If the group is not at risk of running out of food, then definitely generously share your main dishes and salads with the chocolate-people. You can assume that people occasionally simply

forget that the meeting is happening, or when they left the house in the morning, they didn’t think they could make the meeting, but now they can.

If the same people continue to neglect to bring food, then before you start the next meeting, your leader(s) can say, “We’re here to network and communicate; that’s the most important thing.

But we’re also here during lunch. One way for us to eat is to rotate the task of bringing main and side dishes. Or we can each just bring our own lunch and not worry about shared dishes. Can we get a consensus on how to handle this?”

Dear amy: I wonder if other readers were shocked by the question from “Still Shocked,” whose mother had carried on a longtime affair with the family’s high school foreign exchange student.

I don’t know if I could recover from that knowledge.

— Also Shocked Dear also: I agree.

Mom wanted to sweep this affair under the rug, but I agree that it was obviously wrong in so many ways, and she should answer for it.

several male students.”

A Gwinnett County Public Schools police report details that once at the school, officers were shown photos and videos of “several scenes of males fighting” on campus, one of whom was Maynard.

During an interview with police, Maynard told officers that he was the creator and leader of the “Insane Money Gang” and admitted to fighting another teen in Shiloh High’s bathroom “because he was disrespected” as well as to participating in “several ‘jump-in’ initiations, which occurred on the school’s campus and were recorded,” the report said.

Maynard “also showed knowledge and association with the Blood (criminal street gang).”

Maynard’s ultimate charges, which the DA’s office filed in an amended document in July 2016, were: three counts of simple battery, a misdemeanor; three counts of violation of Georgia’s street gang terrorism and prevention act, a felony; three counts of battery, a misdemeanor; and affray, a misdemeanor.

Records show, however, that no adjudication was made until Sept. 21, 2016 — four days after Maynard was arrested, on Sept. 17, for loitering/prowling, obstruction of a law enforcement officer, possession of marijuana by a minor and curfew violation.

At the time of that arrest, Maynard had two “improvised pipes which smelled of burnt marijuana,” a pistol magazine which contained 40 caliber bullets, though no gun, and a “brown leaf-like material,” which was later determined to be tobacco, in a back-

family, wood-framed structure wellinvolved with flames through the roof, according to Gwinnett firefighter Donald Strother.

Per the incident commander, neighbors were pointing firefighters to the right-hand side of the house toward the back, stating that there were potential victims inside.

“A quick decision was made by the firefighters to immediately make entry into a window found on the right side of the home using the vent, enter, isolate, and search rescue mode of operation,” Strother said. “Two unconscious adult victims were found and rapidly extricated through the window. One victim was declared deceased on scene. The second victim was transported to the hospital in critical condition.”

Once the victims were removed, firefighters went into a defensive mode of operation.

“As fire conditions became conducive, operations changed to allow crews to conclude their primary and secondary searches for any other potential victims,” Strother said.

There was a third victim that had initially been unaccounted for. The searches revealed that this victim was conscious and already out of the home upon arrival of the firefighters.

Aerial operations were activated in addition to multiple hand lines to

get a complete knockdown of the fire within twenty minutes, Strother said.

After being assessed, this victim was determined to have minor to moderate injuries consistent with the fire and transported to the hospital, he added.

Through a translator at the hospital, the victim turned out to be the father of the deceased.

The father awoke to smoke and alerted his adult son. He stated that his adult son helped get him out of the house and went back into the structure to assist his mother (the victim that is currently in critical condition). During the deceased’s efforts to save his mother, he succumbed to the conditions.

Due to Federal Patient Privacy Laws known as HIPPA, the Fire PIO is unable to release the names of all victims. The name of the deceased victim will be disclosed by the Medical Examiner’s office once a positive identification is made and cause of death determined.

Strother said fire investigators on scene determined the fire’s area of origin to be in a second kitchen that is an add-on, located on the back of the house. The last time the kitchen was reportedly used was late in the afternoon on the previous day. Though the area of origin has been determined, the exact cause of the fire is unknown.

The home and the vehicle parked in the garage were completely destroyed as a result of the fire.

pack he was carrying.

At his Sept. 21 court appearance, Maynard admitted to the charges from the Sept. 17 incident as well as the simple battery and participation in gang activity charges from November 2015, though the other charges — battery and affray — were dropped.

Waller ordered Maynard be detained until an Oct. 13 court appearance, when he was then released from juvenile detention and placed on probation.

At the Oct. 13 hearing, Waller also ordered Maynard to complete a program at CHRIS Kids, an organization that tries to “improve our community by providing children, adults, and families with high-quality, trauma informed behavioral health services and support systems,” complete a drug/ alcohol evaluation and “continue with grief counseling already in place.”

While court records do not specify what the grief counseling was for, an obituary details that Maynard’s father, Eustine Maynard, died on July 1, 2015.

“We gave out like 60 pairs and it felt really good,” Christian Stahl said. “Santa was there, we were there, it was just an overall great experience.”

The next goal for Christian is to expand beyond Gwinnett and raise enough pajamas for every foster child in the state of Georgia.

“There’s 14,000 foster kids in Georgia and it’s something that I want to try to achieve,” Christian said.

The group is continuing to get more donations through wish lists from Target and Amazon. For information on how to donate, visit @christianryanstahl or @jambosdonates on Instagram or follow the links on jambosdonates.com.

Porter said that’s why the DA’s office made the arguments it did.

“We argued for the solution we thought would best keep the community safe,” he said. “The judge didn’t accept our arguments, but that’s on him.”

Still, even had Waller agreed with the DA’s office and remanded Maynard to state custody, there’s no guarantee the events of Oct. 20 wouldn’t have occurred.

“There could have been (a sentence) all the way up to 60 months in confinement (if the charges were deemed designated felonies),” Porter said.

“Realistically, based on the underlying offense and the gang charge, would Tafahree Maynard have gotten 60 months? Probably not, but he could have.

He probably would have gotten in the neighborhood of one to two years, 12 to 24 months, based on the crimes.”

Even that might not have been enough, Porter said.

“Immediately when he goes into the adult system, he’s got an adult case,” Porter said. “We’ve got a theft by receiving and a firearms charge based on a traffic stop that was pending at the time of (Toney’s death) and we also know that in the case that (Isaiah) Pretlow is in jail on, which is a burglary charge, Maynard was with him (and) they sprayed gang graffiti in the house.

“By the time 2016 came around, and certainly with the probation violation, he had shown propensity (toward criminal behavior).”

Gene editing is here and a great threat WASHINGTON — A Chinese scientist’s claim to have created the first genetically edited babies has evoked widespread condemnation from the scientific community. “This is far too premature,” one American genetic scientist told the Associated Press.

But here is a larger question: Should we be doing this at all?

The Chinese scientist, He Jiankui, used a geneediting technique known as CRISPR to alter the DNA of two embryos in a petri dish and attempt to make Marc them resistant to HIV. This Thiessen is not what has American scientists up at arms. In fact, researchers in the United States have done the same thing. In 2017, scientists at Oregon Health and Science University used CRISPR to genetically alter human embryos to make them resistant to an unidentified disease. The difference is that He then implanted his edited embryos. The American researchers killed theirs.

The prospect of genetically eliminating crippling diseases is certainly appealing, but this promise masks a darker reality. First, there is a difference between genetic engineering and the extremely promising field of gene therapy, in which doctors use CRISPR technology to repair the DNA of defective nonreproductive cells — allowing them to treat cancer, genetic disorders and other diseases.

In gene therapy, the genetic changes affect only the patient. In genetic engineering, scientists alter the entire genetic structure of the resulting human being — changes that are then passed on to future generations.

Playing with humanity’s genetic code could open a Pandora’s box. Scientists will eventually be able to alter DNA not just to protect against disease, but also to create genetically enhanced human beings. The same techniques that can eliminate muscular dystrophy might also be used to enhance muscles to improve strength or speed. Techniques used to eliminate dementia may also be harnessed to enhance memory and cognition. This would have profound societal implications.

Only the wealthy would be able to afford made-to-order babies. This means the privileged few would be able to eliminate imperfections and improve the talent, beauty, stature and IQ of their offspring — thus locking in their privilege for generations. Those at the bottom would not. This could be a death blow to the American Dream, the idea that anyone who is willing to work hard in this country can rise up the economic ladder. Indeed, genetic engineering could actually eliminate opportunities for those at the bottom. For example, one path to higher education for those at the bottom is scholarships for athletic or artistic talents. But in a world of genetic engineering, those scholarships will disappear for the unenhanced poor — and with them the opportunities to improve their economic prospects in life. Think inequality is bad today?

Wait to see what it looks like in the genetically modified future.

If we begin to create perfect children in labs, over time society will begin develop an intolerance for imperfection. If your children have an illness because you didn’t genetically eliminate it, or if they can’t keep up because of their unenhanced cognitive abilities, then that makes them an unjust burden on the rest of us. As we are separated into the enhanced and unenhanced, respect for the dignity of every human life will be diminished. So will personal responsibility. If we don’t make it in life because we are unenhanced, it’s not our fault. And if we do because we are enhanced, we don’t get the credit.

As Harvard University professor Michael Sandel once wrote, “It is one thing to hit 70 home runs as the result of disciplined training and effort, and something else, something less, to hit them with the help of … genetically enhanced muscles.” Genetic engineering could rob Americans of the obligation, and the joy, of earning their own success.

Then there is the threat to women’s equality. If genetic engineering can offer the promise of eliminating disease, it will also allow parents to choose the sex of their child. That could lead to greater sex discrimination. Just look at China, where the onechild policy led to mass infanticide of girls. If you believe that gender bias exists, then that bias will be expressed through genetic engineering — with potentially disastrous implications.

It will also lead to an explosion in the number of discarded children. For every child born via in vitro fertilization, there are multiple fetuses which are created but never used. Today, the Department of Health and Human Services reports, there are more than 600,000 cryogenically frozen embryos in the United States. If genetic engineering through in vitro fertilization becomes common, that number will skyrocket, sparking a profound moral crisis.

Here is the bottom line: We should not be playing God. Genetic research holds the promise to prevent, cure and even eliminate disease. But when it is used to create made-to-order “super children,” we have crossed a moral line from which there may be no return.

Mr. President, put away the hammer Dear President Trump: You and I both know you won’t see this letter, but that’s OK. I am going to feel better having written it. For one thing, it will confuse my friends and confound my enemies, many on both sides of the political spectrum who can’t seem to grasp the concept of middle ground.

You must be either a rockbound, hard-nosed, gunseverywhere-but-the-GeorgiaState-Capitol conservative or a government-knows-best, open-the-borders-even-to-terrorists, boys-and-girls-sharethe-same-bathroom left-leaning liberal. Believe it or not, a few of us are neither.

I wrote earlier suggesting you tone down the namecalling (particularly with late-night TV hosts who feed on that stuff — it’s called “ratings”) and was assured by one of your close confidants that the letter would get into the White House. I knew that was a crock. I’ve had some dealings with previous White House administrations. That letter ended up in the hands of some junior functionary who has never even seen you in person, let alone delivered you a letter.

But it is the Christmas season and I am the gift that keeps on giving. So, I give you some more advice: Stop the name-calling. Please.

My concern is that if the name-calling and insults on both sides continue, a lot of fair-minded people are going to get tired of it and seek an alternative — like a third party that is philosophically somewhere between guns in churches and boys and girls in each other’s bathrooms.

When that happens, then will come coalitions as we have in Europe today and governing by a minority. That is a frightening prospect.

We are Americans first and political partisans second.

There isn’t anyone among us that doesn’t want to see America great. We also want to see it unified. As one of your predecessors, Abraham Lincoln, said, “A house divided against itself cannot stand.” (By the way, he got that from the Bible, Matthew 12:25, in case you are wondering.) Our house is badly divided these days.

If you want to make America great again, I would suggest you and your enemies put away the hammers and start trying to find some common ground. It’s Christmastime. Can’t we all get along? Please?

Sad Christmas music too much, too soon Beware!

Thanksgiving came as early as it possibly could this year. You know what that means! An extra week of all Christmas music on certain radio stations! Nobody is safe. If you scan the dial — AM, FM, satellite radio — it doesn’t matter — you could be exposed to “Christmas Shoes” or “Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer” with no advanced warning whatsoever. Even worse, you might happen across Alvin and the Chipmunks or those stupid dogs barking “Jingle Bells” or — are you ready for this?

Burl Ives singing “Holly Jolly Christmas.”

Tell me you are ready to hear that 700 times between now and Christmas Day! Burl Ives was a fine actor.

He was perfect as Big Daddy Pollitt in “Cat on a Hot Tin Roof.” I can take one look at him in that role and feel the sultry heat of a New Orleans summer. But if I never hear him sing “Holly Jolly Christmas” again the rest of my life that will be just fine with me.

Now don’t misunderstand.

I love the holiday music as much as the next guy, and probably more than most.

But listening to too much too soon and too often can be bad for you — like watching too much of the Kavanaugh hear-

be honest about my Christmas music.

I was decorating our Christmas tree the other night and feeling a little melancholy and wanted to hear some of my favorite sad Christmas songs. Tony Wilson wasn’t available to serve as my DJ Darrell so I had to let Alexa, the little Huckaby robot that sits on my desk and does what I tell her — which ings — boy, that died down is a lot more than I can say in a hurry, didn’t it? — or too for my lovely wife, Lisa — much of any news cycle.

said, and then Dolly Parton, another of my favorites, singing “Hard Candy Christmas.”

I’ve had a few of them, coming up in Porterdale, but so did everybody else, so I never noticed it, and my memories of Christmas as a child are just as happy as my own children’s memories, maybe more so, and they had everything, so I guess the Grinch was right. Christmas doesn’t come from a store.

Alexa finished up with maybe the saddest of all Christmas songs, “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas,” and it was the original version with Judy Garland singing.

Thank goodness Lisa came in to help finish trimming the tree, and she told Alexa to play something better.

Luckily, she played Trisha Yearwood and “A Walk Through Bethlehem” followed by “Mary Did You Know” and then Nat King Cole and “Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire” and not Burl Ives.

We have about 28 days left, so be careful with that radio dial, y’all. And if I don’t see you, have a holly jolly Christmas, you hear?

HOUSTON — George H.W. Bush, the 41st President, whose steady hand and foreign policy vision led the nation through a period of sweeping global change, has died at the age of 94.

Bush’s death late Friday at his home in Houston was announced by his son and fellow Republican, former President George W. Bush, who praised his father as “a man of the highest character.”

Born into privilege and a tradition of service, Bush was a son of a senator, celebrated World War II combat pilot, student athlete, Texas oilman, Republican congressman, national party chairman, pioneering diplomat and spy chief.

After his own 1980 presidential campaign came up short, he served two terms as Ronald Reagan’s vice president before reaching the pinnacle of political power by winning the 1988 presidential election, soundly defeating Democrat Michael Dukakis.

After losing the White House in 1992, Bush became a widely admired political elder who leapt out of airplanes to mark birthday milestones.

Emphasizing the generosity of his soul, he forged a close — and unlikely — friendship with Democrat Bill Clinton, the man who ended his presidency. When Parkinson’s disease mostly silenced him in public, Bush flashed his sense of humor by sporting colorful striped socks.

bara Bush, died on April 17 at age 92. Before her funeral, Bush was pictured in a wheelchair gazing at his wife’s flower-covered casket, in a moment that encapsulated their lifelong love affair.

The first sitting vice president to be elected to the presidency since 1836,

Bush was also only the second person in U.S. history to see his own son follow in his presidential footsteps when George W. Bush was elected in 2000.

In addition to the 43rd president, Bush is survived by his son Jeb, the former Florida governor and 2016 presidential candidate; sons

Neil and Marvin; daughter Dorothy; and 17 grandchildren. His daughter Robin died of leukemia as a child, a tragedy that still moved Bush deeply late in his life.

He will be buried alongside her and the former first lady at his presidential library in College Station, Texas.

Funeral arrangements

will be announced at a later time, according to the statement released by Bush’s spokesman Jim McGrath.

Born in Massachusetts on June 12, 1924, George H. W. Bush was the son of wealthy Wall Street banker and future Connecticut Sen. Prescott Bush and Dorothy Bush.

He became the youngest naval pilot at age 18 following Japan’s attack on Pearl Harbor and flew combat missions from the aircraft carrier USS San Jacinto.

As a “flyboy” in the Pacific War, Bush flew 58 combat missions and won the Distinguished Flying Cross.

Late in his life, the former president’s heroism was recognized when the Navy named a Nimitz-class aircraft carrier after him.

After returning from the Pacific, Bush attended Yale University, where he was a noted athlete and then went west with his new wife, Barbara Pierce, to set himself up as an early Texas oil prospector.

Chosen by President Richard Nixon to serve as envoy to the United Nations, Bush later served as the head of the Republican National Committee during the Watergate scandal.

In 1976, Bush became the head of the CIA. He held the job for only a year, but was so well remembered that the agency later named its headquarters in Langley, Va., after him, and he would later say it was his favorite job.

In 1980, Bush ran for the White House, challenging former California Gov. Ronald Reagan for the GOP nomination, slamming what he said was his foe’s “voodoo economic policy.”

After a sometimes rancorous campaign, Reagan won, and after briefly flirting with picking former president Gerald Ford as his running mate, handed Bush the vice presidential spot.

President Obama awarded Bush the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2011.

Dacula comeback runs out of time in semis

By David Friedlander

DACULA — Scoring chances were at a premium in Dacula’s Class AAAAAA state semifinal game against Northside-Warner Robins on Friday night.

Unfortunately for the No. 9 state-ranked and host Falcons, they couldn’t cash in enough of the ones they had, which made the two the visiting Eagles cashed in just enough for a 14-7 victory at Barron Field.

In the end, it took too long for Dacula (11-3) to find any offense against a stingy Northside (9-5) defense.

Even then, the Falcons could muster only 200 yards, including 168 off the arm of quarterback Jarrett Jenkins, who completed 17 of 33 passes and scored his team’s only touchdown of the night on a 3-yard run, but also threw two interceptions.

“It was kind of a tale of two halves,” Dacula coach Clint Jenkins said. “We kind of had field position in the second half, and they had it in the first half. It was really tight, but that’s what we were expecting.

We felt like it would be a low-scoring game, and you want to win that field position battle. We did in the second half, and we felt like if we had just a little bit longer, who

knows.”

True, Northside held a massive field position advantage in the first half, with the Eagles starting only one of their six possessions in the opening 24 minutes inside their own 28, while Dacula’s best starting point was its own 20.

And Northside took advantage of two of its most short-field situations, both inside Falcons territory, in the first quarter.

end zone on a quarterback sneak to push the Eagles’ lead to 14-0 at the 2:24 mark of the opening frame. Daniels wound up with 48 yards on 17 carries and completed 5 of 7 passes with an interception for 60 yards.

“One thing was getting those 14 points early, (which) kind of took (Dacula) out of their (offensive) game,” Northside coach Kevin Kinsler said. “They couldn’t just grind it out, and (Jarrett Jenkins) throws it good, but they probably tried to throw it a little bit more than they’re used to.”

Dacula, which managed just three first downs and 51 yards of total offense in the first half, got its best drive of the first half on its final possession, moving as far as its own 41 before punting with 1:33 left.

Yet, the Falcons’ defense did play solid when its back wasn’t to its own end zone, holding Northside to just 127 total yards in the half, and keeping the game within The Eagles first marched 44 yards in eight plays, with Eric Smith diving in from reach. Dacula was still down just 14-0 at a yard out for a 7-0 lead with 5:58 left in the intermission, despite the poor field position opening frame. Smith finished with a game- and the stout Eagles defense, which stuffed the Dacula run game to just 31 yards on the high 61 yards on 13 carries night.

Northside got an even shorter field the “Any time you feel like you can’t get field next time it had the ball when Mason Ford corralled a batted Jarrett Jenkins pass for an interception at the Dacula 18.

LEESBURG — The walk across the field was a little slower than usual.

A handful of players slumped to the ground.

A few shed tears.

This one was tough, and it will likely sting for a while.

For the Lanier football program, the bus ride back to Sugar Hill probably seemed to be endless.

Top-ranked Lee County turned the Longhorns’ dream season into a

nightmare Friday night in the Class AAAAAA semifinals at Trojan Field.

Lee built a two-touchdown lead in the first six minutes of the game on a pair of Lanier’s special teams miscues. The Trojans established control early and rolled to a 42-7 victory.

The defending state champions will meet Northside-Warner Robins, who defeated Dacula in the other semifinal, for the state championship Dec. 11 at Mercedes-Benz Stadium.

Head coach Korey Mobbs said he was im-

pressed by his team’s effort despite the final score.

“We had a choice to make as a team … we could have laid down or we could have battled,” he said. “I feel like our kids did that, that’s why I’m so proud of them.”

Lanier (10-4) forced Lee County to punt on its opening possession, just the second time in the postseason the Trojans had to punt. But after the Longhorns went three-and-out on their first possession, a bad snap sailed over the See LANIER, Page 12A

Zach Malatesta is evenkeeled, placid even.

“He’s a great kid,” Atlanta Gladiators head coach Jeff Pyle said.

“Quiet. I never know if he’s happy or sad. No idea.

Got the same look on his face no matter what.”

Until he steps on the ice.

Then Malatesta becomes a thunderous storm, a oneman wrecking crew.

“Unbelievable heart,” Pyle said. “He plays hard.

And you’re not going to be able to ever tell him to back off — he’s a daredevil shot out of a cannon.

“You take those on your team any day of the week.”

Malatesta’s collisions are replayed routinely on the big screens at Infinite Energy Arena. The 5-foot9 defenseman delivers outsized hits that send the opposition flying.

He is matter-of-fact about the ferocity.

“I’ve always been more of a physical player,” Malatesta said. “It’s just part of the game and I’ve just been one of those people that always finishes their hits. I don’t really think of it as something different, just part of the game.”

Gladiators forward and one of the team’s captains, Derek Nesbitt, has seen quite a bit in his 14-year career, half of which was spent in the AHL. Nesbitt isn’t so nonchalant about the skill and toughness Malatesta shows every game.

“Especially when you’re braced for a hit — you’re only human and you see a guy smaller than you — you have an expectation,” Nesbitt said. “When the end result isn’t what you expect, it’s a shock to the system.

“When he steps up on guys, it’s not like he lines them up. He has a low center of gravity, he keeps his feet moving, he goes stick on puck and he’s really good at driving through people. More than not, guys can’t do that, whatever size they are. That alone as a skill is pretty impressive.”

The word that comes up most when people talk about Malatesta is tough.

He’s had his nose broken three times this season and

it hasn’t kept him out of games. He’s barely willing to let them pack it with gauze.

Malatesta is a bluecollar throwback playing a game that the new rules of hockey are curtailing.

“When he hits, you know it,” Pyle said. “When he goes, it’s full speed everywhere.

“You love it, but you also cringe at the thought of it (because of the opportunity for injury). I tell all these guys, ‘Take the hits you have to take and the ones you don’t, don’t, if you want to have a long career.’”

Malatesta only played the first half of his rookie season, suffering an ACL tear in January that ended his year. It was the first significant injury of Malatesta’s career and carried the usual burdens.

“It was definitely hard watching the end of the season and the playoffs because that’s the best time,” said Malatesta, who made deep playoff runs all three years he played major junior. “But I had a great offseason and I worked with a lot of people back home in a great environment and my leg feels great. I was really just happy with the way everything went.”

The 22-year-old resigned with Atlanta this summer and has been a defensive stalwart through the first six weeks of the season.

“With everybody getting called up and (Kevin

Montgomery) being injured, now he’s going into minutes that I’m sure he loves having, but that put him into situations he would be in less often otherwise,” Pyle said. “He’s playing against top lines more often so it’s probably a bit more of a learning curve, but he works so hard and skates so well. He has a good shot, too. The only thing he needs to do is how to play like veterans, how to think like veterans.”

Pyle knows Malatesta, and the rest of the team, are probably already tired of hearing him preach about simplifying the game. Malatesta was a point-producing defenseman in junior, averaging more than 30 points per year. But that isn’t necessarily what the Gladiators need most from him.

“If you’re playing pro hockey, you were probably the No. 1 guy at your position for a lot of your life,” Nesbitt said. “He had great numbers in junior and he could be considered a late bloomer.”

Malatesta opted to play junior is his hometown of Boston until he was 18 and then went to the QMJHL, eschewing the more locally popular college route.

“It’s definitely a different decision because there are so many schools around my area,” Malatesta said. “A lot of guys from the Northeast go to (college), but when I was 18, I just wanted to move to a better and faster league.”

He was drafted by Moncton and a meeting with head coach Darren Rumble made it an easy decision.

“He was such a great guy and I really wanted to work with him,” Malatesta said. “It worked out for me. I loved my time up there.”

After helping Moncton to two straight semifinal berths, Malatesta was traded midway through his overage year to AcadieBathhurst.

“It was a different kind of place and a different environment,” he said.

“It’s not as big of a city as Moncton, but the community just loves the team up there.”

Malatesta was part of a playoff contender, but saw the season end in Game 7 of the quarterfinals.

The next year, while he was rehabbing his injured knee, Acadie-Bathhurst won the Memorial Cup with two notable names on the roster — Malatesta’s brother, Dom, and fellow Gladiator defenseman Olivier Galipeau.

“So that hurts a little bit,” Malatesta said with a laugh.

There’s no doubt though, he was a major factor in his teams’ successes in the QMJHL. “He was line-matched and on the power play,” Nesbitt said. “In pro, it’s just different. It can get more frustrating when there are struggles. The problem, for anyone, is forcing the issue rather than keeping it simple.

“But his fundamentals are really good. His skating and passing. You just have to trust what you’ve known since you were 8 years old.”

Malatesta is running one of the power-play units now and his big blast from the blue line Friday night helped Atlanta grab an early lead over Greenville.

He also, predictably, laid out a few Swamp Rabbits.

Pyle isn’t looking for Malatesta to temper his game, just refine it.

“It’s kind of a big developing stage for him,” Pyle said. “He’s getting a ton of ice right now so he needs to pick his spots.”

PREP FOOTBALL NOTES

Jenkins impresses in debut as head coach

•From Page 10A the initial carry and it went forward where Andrew Booth was able to fall on it and save the drive. The Packers were then flagged for defensive holding, setting up the visitors with first down on the 3. Banks scored on second down in a power I formation, and Archer’s attempt to play more free football was doomed when Louis came off the left edge.

Archer junior quarterback Carter Peevy was 15-for19 passing for 198 yards.

Senior Braylen Weems caught five of the passes for 113 yards. Banks rushed 14 times for 62 yards.

Colquitt County’s running back tandem of Leggett and junior Daijun Edwards combined for 132 yards, nearly evenly splitting 37 carries.

Leggett netted 69 yards and Edwards 63. Junior quarterback Jaycee Harden completed 15 of 24 passes for 110 yards.

But the big plays for both sides were on special teams, and penalties also set each offense back. In fact, both sides lost a touchdown due to a flag on the field.

Colquitt’s biggest gain all game was on the opening kickoff, Montavious Ponder’s 73-yard kickoff return.

The Packers did not get a first down in the first quarter but had six points on the scoreboard. Fitzgerald made a 40-yard field goal after the Ponder return because Jalen Brown sacked Harden on third down.

At 4:28 of the first period, Fitzgerald was good from 55 yards out, the seventh time in his career he’s been good from 50-plus out.

Colquitt began the

•From Page 10A punter, who miraculously kept the ball from going into the end zone.

The miscue gave Lee County the ball at Lanier’s 1-yard line where Shaundarious Kimbrough scored the first of his four rushing touchdowns of the night at the 8:17 mark.

Things only got worse for the Longhorns.

After failing to mount a drive on their ensuing possession, they were forced to punt.

Lee County (14-0) tore through the offensive front, blocked the kick and Zach Mason scooped up the loose ball and ran 24 yards for a score to make it 14-0 with 6:36 left in the opening quarter.

“Honestly, I say we messed up a lot in this game,” Kameron Brown said. “You make mistakes in some of the games and sometimes you can come back, but sometimes you can’t. They called us the comeback kids. We still came out here and did our job.”

Lanier did find some positive momentum before giving it away. Quarterback Zach Calzada fired a 40-yard pass to Zachary Charles who moved the ball inside Lee’s 25-yard line before fumbling.

second quarter with its first first-down gain and went 13 plays up to the Archer 42-yard-line. Fitzgerald missed a field-goal try of 59 yards, one he had to do thanks to holding against Colquitt.

Peevy, after taking two sacks in the first period, became much more comfortable in the pocket. He completed five passes in a row in a touchdown drive where Andrew Dyer hauled in an 18-yard touchdown.

Jacob Waters made the PAT, putting Archer up 7-6 at 3:52 until halftime.

Colby Wooden sacked Harden in an effort to keep that one-point lead at the half.

The third quarter, however, belonged to the Packers despite going on defense at the start. The Tigers had one first down the whole period in just two drives, the last one ended on a lost fumble at midfield.

Fitzgerald scored a 50-yard field goal at 6:22 to reclaim the lead for Colquitt. After linebacker Marcus Anderson recovered the Tiger fumble at 3:41,

the Packers closed out the quarter running 10 plays up to the Archer 11. But in the fourth, the home team lost a touchdown due to an illegal block call. So Fitzgerald was good for a fourth time, this one of 34 yards, for a 12-7 score with 10:58 to play.

The teams traded punts despite getting one first down each. B.J. Eugene of Archer sacked Harden to end a drive and get the football back on its 26 with 5:47 to go. The offense woke up with Peevy going up top to Weems for 42 yards to the Packer 32 and then Weems taking a tunnel screen to the 17. Banks ran for 13 yards, then Peevy carried the ball into the end zone at 4:31.

With time, Peevy found Weems open for two points and 15-12 Tiger advantage.

The Packers responded by churning out yards and first downs with two thirddown conversions. They ran 12 plays, overcame another holding call, reached the 20 and took timeout with two seconds left to set up Fitzgerald’s fifth make of the game that forced OT.

LAWRENCEVILLE — Dacula head coach Clint Jenkins isn’t exactly a new guy. During the 2018 football season, he proved he was the right guy, according to Dacula athletic director Zach Smith.

In his first year as head coach, Jenkins extended Dacula’s region winning streak to 15 games and helped guide the Falcons to the fourth semifinals appearance in program history.

Though Smith was not yet Dacula’s athletic director when the decision to promote Jenkins was announced, he was involved in the process enough to recognize Dacula had found the right man to take over the program after former head coach Tommy Jones accepted another job at Cherokee Bluff.

“It was a great fit, and he was the best candidate,” Smith said. “He really did prove himself in the hiring process, and that’s been on display all season.”

Jenkins spent seven years as defensive coordinator before being promoted, and five of those years were on Jones’ coaching staff.

Over Atlanta’s threegame losing streak, Cleveland’s Nick Chubb rushed for 176 yards, Dallas’ Ezekiel Elliott gained 122, and New Orleans’ combination of Mark Ingram II and Alvin Kamara had 141.

The Falcons’ offense has been able to cover for the teams’ defensive woes at times, especially when playing at home. However, quarterback Matt Ryan was sacked six times in the loss at New Orleans on Thanksgiving night, the ground game netted just 26 yards, and the team turned the ball over four times — three times in the red zone.

Atlanta is contemplating changes on the offensive line, but a bounce-back won’t be easy against Baltimore, which ranks No. 1 in the NFL in points given up at 18 per game and in yards allowed at 295.4 per game.

IN BRIEF

Local college softball programs are hosting a skills workshop from 1 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. today at TPM Fastpitch Academy on 4295 International Blvd. Suite C in Norcross.

Colleges involved include Emory, University of North Georgia, University of West Georgia and Young Harris. The small group college workshop will focus on pitching, catching, defense and hitting with a 10-to-1 player-

Senior cornerback and wide receiver Jalen Perry walked away from the field feeling like he helped make history on his way out the door.

“Obviously, we wanted to get this one tonight,” Perry said. “I’m so proud of these guys and the effort we put in all season.

I’m proud of Coach Jenkins, in his first year, to make it this far.”

Celebrity Wolverine appearance University of Michigan head football coach Jim Harbaugh was in the stands, sitting with Perry’s parents, less than one week after the Wolverines lost to Ohio State and lost a shot for the Big Ten championship.

That loss meant Michigan had the week off, and Perry was honored Harbaugh decided to spend it watching his last high school game.

“To have a head coach like Coach Harbaugh watch your game, it’s amazing,” Perry said. “So happy for my family to be able to sit with him.

I’m proud of everything we’ve done this season and it was cool to see him at my last high school game.”

Perry announced his verbal commitment to Michigan on Nov. 14. He was previously verbally commited to play for the University of Georgia.

Colleges to host skills workshop at TPM Fastpitch Academy today

Falcons, who took to Jenkins’ coaching style quickly.

The Falcons hardly faltered this season, riding an 11-2 record into their Class AAAAAA semifinal game against Northside-Warner Robins on Friday night at Dacula High School.

Dacula’s semifinal loss to Northside snapped a 10-game winning streak dating back to an Aug. 31 loss to Mountain View.

Jenkins said he had a good situation as a rookie head coach in terms of the talent and the dedication his senior class provided. Nine seniors returned for Dacula and impacted the starting 11 on defense. Several provided a lift on both sides of the football.

“I’m so proud of these seniors in what they’ve done,” Jenkins said. “I love them all and, boy, they fought their guts out in this game.”

It was important for Jenkins to emphasize after the game the historic nature of the season and the part the Class of 2019 played in that game. The game against Northside was the school’s fourth semifinals appearance in football, and the first since 2005. The Dacula defense conceded fewer than 15 points per game on average, the best by a Falcons team since 2008.

The goal of the seminar, scheduled from 5:45 to 7 p.m., is to make the college recruiting process less overwhelming for aspiring softball players.

The seminar was created to help current high school and middle school athletes make the most of their softball careers with TPM Fastpitch the intention of playing to host college softball in college.

The seminar includes a recruiting $45 fee or one TPM credit seminar (must be intermediate/ Goal Getter Sport will advanced or college prep). host a college softball Registration and more recruiting seminar today at information can be found TPM Fastpitch in Norat tpmfastpitch.com/pages/ cross. tpm-events.

Dacula got the ball back twice more in Northside territory, with the first winding up as a Tubby McCall interception at the Eagles’ 10 with 5:59 remaining.

An 8-yard punt return by Konata Mumpfield then set Dacula up at the Northside 44 with 4:12 left, and the Falcons finally managed to find the end zone.

The problem was that the Falcons were out of timeouts, and it took seven plays for Jarrett Jenkins to score of a 1-yard bootleg to bring Dacula to within 14-7 with 2:42.

And with Northside managing to grind out possessions, Clint Jenkins decided to roll the dice and try for the onside kick, which the Eagles recovered to take

over near midfield.

“We knew there weren’t going to be a lot of opportunities to score or to drive the field,” Clint Jenkins said.

“So the onside kick, we kind of knew we had to take a shot right there to get a possession. They were kind of nickeling and diming us running the football. We were running out of timeouts, so we had made that decision already to go for the onside kick. Again, credit to (Northside). Their guy was right there.”

Daniels then sealed Dacula’s fate by sneaking for the needed yard on thirdand-1 from the Falcons’ 42 for a critical third down, which allowed the Eagles to run out the clock and end Dacula’s season.

Decade of dedication More from Buford and Suwanee

Two Delta Community Credit Union branches celebrate 10th birthdays together

By Curt Yeomans

curt.yeomans @gwinnettdailypost.com

Two of Gwinnett County’s four Delta Community Credit Union branches recently held a joint birthday party to celebrate turning 10 this past month.

The branches in Buford and Suwanee hit the decade mark in November and celebrated the occasion during the party, which was held on Nov. 15.

The Suwanee branch is located at the Kroger at 2121 Lawrenceville-Suwanee Road, while the Buford branch is located in the Kroger at 3300 Hamilton Mill Road.

“These two branches have a lot in common,” Delta Community CEO Hank Halter said in a statement. “Both provide superior service to our 28,000 members who live and work in Gwinnett County, and the employees who work at our Buford and Suwanee branches deserve credit for the success we enjoy as we celebrate this 10 year milestone.”

The Buford and Suwanee branches are not the only Delta Community locations in Gwinnett County that turned 10 in 2018, however. Officials at the credit union said the Duluth branch marked the 10th anniversary of its opening in October.

The credit union’s fourth Gwinnett branch is located in Snellville.

Joan James is the branch manager for the Suwanee branch, while Emily Browning manages the Buford branch.

James has seen how the credit union works with many of its Gwinnett customers.

In addition to becoming the head of the Suwanee location two months ago, she previously worked at the Snellville branch and she praised getting to work in the county where she lives.

“I’m a people person,” said James. “I’m looking forward DULUTH Rainbow Village gala raises nearly $300,000 Rainbow Village’s annual gala raised $292,475 to help the Gwinnett County nonprofit meet the financial demands of providing housing and services to transform the lives of homeless families.

The funds will be used to support Rainbow Village’s facilities and programming.

The organization’s Duluth campus has five apartment buildings with room to house 30 families at a time, as well as a community center for character development classes for resident youth and life skills classes and counseling sessions for resident adults. The community center also has a chapel and a gathering space for weekly family meals and special events.

“We are so incredibly grateful to all of our gala sponsors and attendees for making this year’s event such a phenomenal success,” said Melanie Conner, chief executive officer for Rainbow Village. “This was my first year taking part in the ‘We Are Family’ Gala and it was such a special evening shared by people from all walks of life coming together to support a common cause — the eradication of homelessness. …

The funds we raised will be used to help transform the lives of recently homeless families — giving them a hand up rather than a hand

Motivate yourself Forget Perfect

Lisa McLeod Coaching phone calls. I pull up a photo of the client, scan the notes from the last call, and ask myself, what’s possible for this person?

Family time. I dance to “Let it Go” from “Frozen,” cast off the day, and start with a smile and a heartfelt question.

I’m a creature of habit. If I want to change habits, I need prompting and tools. So I create a set of small cards on a circular ring. Each card has a critical moment on the front and the tools on the back.

I look at the cards every single day. It’s made a huge difference in my ability to transition quickly and show up as my best self. My clients experience similar results.

Life is filled with moments. You get to choose how you show up for those moments.

Do you have trouble getting started?

Whether it’s writing a report, scoping a big IT project, or simply welling up the energy to clean out your closet, many of us procrastinate because we’re simply not in the mood to start.

As a writer, I’m well acquainted with the perils of procrastination. I try to convince myself that surfing the web is getting me into the right state of mind. But, let’s be honest, those cute cat videos are not bumping my analytic skills or my word count. A writer friend confesses, “My house gets really clean whenever I’m writing a book.”

Getting started is increasingly challenging in our quick switch world where interruptions and distractions divert our focus and endless online information constantly calls our name.

But when you switch from one thing to the next with no transition time in between, your mind and body rebel. How many times have you been five minutes into a meeting before you actually settled in to consider the topic?

So how do you stay focused on what really matters?

The key is being proactive about managing your own state, the physical and mental way you show up for what matters most.

When I work with executive coaching clients, I ask them to identify their high stakes interactions and tasks.

These are the regularly recurring events that are critical for success. It may be team meetings, coaching situations, writing reports, or greeting your family at the end of the day. There should be no more than 5 to 7.

Then, identify tools to get into the right state for each task. For team meetings, it might be two minutes reviewing strategic priorities.

Writing reports might need a great playlist to get fingers tapping on the keyboard. For family time it might be 10 seconds in the car to breathe and let the day go before entering the door. It’s whatever it takes to get the person in the right headspace FAST. I created this methodology when I realized I was not always bringing my best self to my own highest priority moments. I was scheduling my days too tightly. I was hopping on calls unprepared, and as a result it often took several minutes for me to get focused and fully engaged. I wasn’t horrible, but I wasn’t compelling, either.

I identified my own critical job performance areas, and created two-minute tools to get myself into the right state of mind quickly. They included: Proposal writing. I look at client website for emotive words, stand, stretch, play disco music, and write the headers first.

A book that tells the story of my people Tink is like a child with the mail. He can’t wait to get it.

Since there’s always a chance that there’s something in there that is going to ruin my day, I don’t mind waiting. At. All. He especially loves UPS deliveries.

One day, he came hurrying into the kitchen where I was piddling. He was grinning merrily, toting a small package in his hands. He held it up and sang joyfully, “Is this what I think it is?”

I took the package from him and looked at the return address. Penguin Putnam,

Ronda Rich New York. It took a moment to realize what he meant. I have a book coming out with Penguin — a 20th anniversary edition of my first book — so Tink thought it was an advance copy.

Puzzled, I shook my head.

“No, this isn’t mine. It’s too early.” I tore it open and pulled a paperback out with the title: “Travels With Foxfire, Stories, People, Passions and Practices from Southern Appalachia.”

Immediately, I was interested. My eyes scrolled down and I saw the author’s name. I nearly dropped the book.

“Phil Hudgins!” I exclaimed. “Baby, this was one of my first editors.”

I remember especially the first newspaper story of mine that Phil edited. Slated for the

Sunday feature section — front page — it was about a Carnegie Hero winner from 25 years earlier. I tracked him down and the baby he had snatched away from an oncoming train and reunited them. That’s another story. I thought the lead paragraph was brilliant. Phil did not. He was puzzled over it (he was right) but I was 19 and still had much to learn. He was very kind as he pulled it apart and taught me as he edited.

I beamed from ear-to-ear as I studied the cover of his book. I shouldn’t have been surprised, because Phil is one of the best storytellers I’ve ever known — but I didn’t know he’d written a book. Especially one about the people — my people — who I adore.

(Phil, the precise newspaper man he is, would want me to point out here that Jessica Phillips conducted a tremendous amount of research and interviews for this book.)

The first Foxfire book,

which paid homage to the ways, both peculiar and smart, of the Appalachians, was published in 1972. Since then, it has sold over a million copies between 12 primary volumes and 10 companion books. I was a child when the first appeared, but I remember my mountain family talking about it over Sunday dinner.

It was incredible to them that someone saw enough interest in the way they dried leather britches or made sorghum syrup to write a book about their ways.

As soon as I was finished piddling — something that mainly Southerners excel in — I took the new Foxfire book to the living room and settled down to read. For the first time, I learned that the father of two friends of mine once had a moonshine museum which centered around his own moonshine still.

I love enterprising mountain people.

Then I read about legend-

ary Southern writer, Joe Dabney. I have long known that his writing about the Scotch-Irish and whiskeymaking were important to the history of the culture, but I did not know that he won the prestigious James Beard award for his cookbook, “Smokehouse Ham, Spoon Bread and Scoopernong Wine.” The book is filled with wonderful stories.

“How did you choose the stories you told?” I asked Phil.

“That’s a hard question,” he replied by email. “I knew some of the stories I wanted to tell (but) other story ideas came from all over and, slowly, the book became a reality. It was a fun project.”

It’s also fun to get a terrific book in the mail, unexpectedly, when it has a friend’s name on it. Especially when it has stories in it on hunting ginseng, doctoring with herbs and all-night gospel singings.

Those are things I treasure.

8 p.m. on CBS Garth: Live at Notre Dame!

Country music icon Garth Brooks is the star attraction for the very first live concert ever staged at the stadium of Indiana’s University of Notre Dame in this two-hour special recorded in October. Before a sold-out crowd, Brooks performs his greatest hits in this extended musical set that also serves as something of a warm-up for a threeyear stadium tour he and his wife, Trisha Yearwood, are embarking upon. For the record, Brooks gives the venue stellar marks for its acoustics.

10 p.m. on ABC The Good Doctor In “Quarantine,” this medical drama’s winter finale, Shaun and Alex (Freddie Highmore, Will Yun Lee) treat two patients who collapsed at the local airport. They present with symptoms that suggest an infection that could become airborne, sending the staff on a desperate race to contain the bug before it spreads to patients in the rest of the emergency room. It’s not long before the hospital is under quarantine. Nicholas Gonzalez also stars.

10 p.m. on FOOD Christmas Cookie Challenge Host Eddie Jackson’s selfprofessed fondness for traditional nesting dolls inspires a decorating challenge in which he asks five cookie wizards to bake six cookies of the same design that get progressively smaller in the new episode “Christmas Comes in All Sizes.”

For the display challenge, the three cookie makers who made it past the opener must craft a Christmas village entirely out of cookies.

9 p.m. on DSC Border Live The border between the United States and Mexico has become a dividing line in more than one respect, fueled by partisan politics and politicians. This new six-part weekly series will provide live coverage along that border, following events and personal stories as they develop. New York-based host Bill Weir engages with experts on this and related topics who can provide insight and perspective. Additionally, investigative journalist Lilia Luciano will provide reports from the field.

10 p.m. on HALL Movie: A Gift to Remember While biking to her job at a Manhattan bookstore, Darcy (Ali Liebert, “Chesapeake Shores”) crashes into Aidan (Peter Porte, “The Young and the Restless”), who is out walking his dog. Knocked unconscious, Aidan is rushed to a hospital, where he falls into a coma, while the distraught Darcy takes his dog home to care for him until Aidan recovers.

9 p.m. on E! TV Botched Cosmetic surgeons Dr. Terry Dubrow and Dr. Paul Nassif return as this unscripted series opens Season 5, which begins as singer-songwriter “Tiny” Tameka Harris helps her best friend, who is seeking Dr. Dubrow’s help with a bungled breast augmentation. In other segments, Pixee Fox returns after a round of surgeries designed to turn her into a living cartoon, and a model regrets having too much fat injected under her eyes.

8 p.m. on HALL Movie: Homegrown Christmas After spending years successfully running her own company, shoe designer Maddie (Lori Loughlin) sells the business and accepts her mother’s (Gwyneth Walsh) invitation to come home for Christmas and reconnect with her long-ignored family. Her younger sister, Hallie (Kate Isaac), gives her a chilly reception, and things aren’t very comfortable for her with Carter (Victor Webster), the former beau she abandoned to move to New York.

TUESDAY 8 p.m. on ABC The Conners A concerned Dan (John Goodman) frets over the intentions of Peter (guest star Matthew Broderick), Jackie’s (Laurie Metcalf) latest and unemployed boyfriend, especially after he finds out about the extravagant Christmas gift she’s bought for him in the new episode “Hold the Salt.” Elsewhere, Darlene (Sara Gilbert) gets some interesting advice from an unlikely source, and Mark and Mary (Ames McNamara, Jayden Ray) put together their Christmas wishlist.

FRIDAY 8 p.m. on LIFE Movie: Christmas Lost and Found After years of blowing off family gatherings, Whitney Kennison (Tiya Sircar) takes a long-overdue break from her busy job as a New York event planner to spend Christmas in Chicago with her Grandma Frances (Diane Ladd). All is going well until Whitney accidentally throws out a cherished box of ornaments that are family heirlooms.

GUCU ‘School Crashers’ wins national award The Credit Union Na-

tional Association awarded Georgia United Credit Union with a first-place Dora Maxwell Social Responsibility Community Service Award, which commends a credit union for its outstanding efforts in community projects.

GUCU won with School Crashers, a program that allows schools each year to apply for a facility makeover. The credit union then unites the community, media partners, donors and volunteers to make the facility improvements a reality each summer.

“Georgia United takes great pride in being an active and responsible member of the communities we serve,” said Kim Wall, director of business and community development. “We believe giving back is not only the right way, but the only way.

As a business partner in education, we want to empower students to become successful, productive citizens, enrich lives and advance financial literacy.”

This isn’t the first time Georgia United Credit Union took home a firstplace Dora Maxwell award.

The School Crashers program also received the honor in 2015.
