SNELLVILLE MAYOR WITTS PLEADS GUILTY After years of investigation by the Gwinnett County District Attorney’s Office and the Georgia Department of Revenue, embattled Snellville Mayor Tom Witts pleaded guilty to 11 charges.

As part of the plea deal, which Tom was brokered Witts with Witts’ lawyers and the DA’s office, Witts agreed to resign as mayor immediately, while promising to never again run for a political position.

Witts was indicted in September 2017 on 66 counts ranging from tax evasion and theft to lying under oath and abusing his position as an elected official.

He received 10 years probation for his crimes, with the first six months to be spent on house arrest.

BUFORD CITY SCHOOLS SUPERINTENDENT HAMBY INVOLVED IN RACE SCANDAL Buford City Schools — and its former superintendent, Geye Hamby — fell under national scrutiny after a former paraprofessional educator sued Hamby and the district for race discrimination, which also led to the leaking of racist audio recordings said to be of Hamby.

In the recordings, the alleged Hamby spews racist comments about black people, including using the N-word and Geye Hamby saying he would “kill these (expletives).”

The audio infuriated many, who descended on Buford Board of Education meetings following the incident. Hamby resigned several days after, though many were still unhappy that he was not outright fired.

In the months since, Buford City Schools has implemented Diversity and Inclusion Advisory and Service Councils and is searching for a new superintendent.

Former Superintendent Joy Davis is currently serving as interim superintendent.

GWINNETT COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS VOTES ON JOINING MARTA The fact that Gwinnett was gearing up to do something big related to expanding transit was probably no secret when 2018 began since the county was already in the process of putting together a transit development plan.

The decision by county leaders to pursue that expansion by setting the stage for a vote on joining MARTA, however, was not as easy to foresee. Still, the dominoes started to line up when state legislators took up and

passed House Bill 930, which established a new regional transit planning authority, in the spring.

A late addition to the bill laid the groundwork for Gwinnett to negotiate a contract with MARTA and call for a referendum on joining the regional transit system.

The call for the referendum came in August, when commissioners approved the contract, but it didn’t come without some controversy. Commissioners

were expected to put the referendum on the Nov. 6 ballot, but they set it for March 19, 2019, instead, prompting a backlash from transit proponents who worried a separate vote in March would hurt the referendum’s chances of passing.

In early 2019, county officials are expected to begin the process of explaining the MARTA contract to residents so they can make an educated decision when the referendum is held.

Gwinnett police are asking for the public’s help identifying two men who robbed a cellphone store late Thursday morning.

According to Cpl. Wilbert Rundles, a spokesman for the Gwinnett County Police Department, shortly before noon, the suspects entered M Wireless on Rockbridge Road in unincorporated Norcross, where one of the men asked to look at the new iPhones.

“The employee shows them two iPhones,” Rundles said. “Suspect one grabs one of the iPhones and turns to leave while trying to grab the second phone. The employee is able to grab the second phone before the suspect can take it.”

The suspects then ran out of the store, where they jumped into a white Toyota Avalon that was waiting for

them. The vehicle quickly fled the scene, Rundles said.

The first suspect is described as a black man wearing all black, a black do-rag and white sneakers. The second suspect is described as a black man wearing black pants, a gray Adidas hoodie and a red hat.

Gwinnett closes on OFS purchase

Gwinnett County’s purchase of 103 acres at the OFS Brightwave Solutions site overlooking Interstate 85 is finished.

County officials announced on Friday that they had closed on the purchase of the property, which is expected to be used for economic redevelopment. It was more of a formality since county commissioners had already given staff their blessing to issue $35.4 million in 20-year revenue bonds to pay for the purchase earlier this month.

“The site along the Jimmy Carter Boulevard corridor is one of the premier pieces of real estate in metro Atlanta, which makes this a good deal for our community and a strategic investment in its long-term success,” Gwinnett County Commission Chairwoman Charlotte Nash said in a statement.

“This purchase gives us a greater say in the site’s potential redevelopment. I am most grateful to OFS for its willingness to work with the county and to all of the parties involved for making this transaction happen.”

County officials anticipate the annual debt service on the purchase to total $2.5 million. They intend to use revenue from movie production leasing at the site — which is a popular filming site for movie productions — to pay off the bonds, which carry an interest rate of 3.9 percent.

Thirty-five movie and television productions have been filmed at the OFS site in recent years.

County officials have said OFS will manage and operate the studio space for the county.

Closing on the purchase of the property is a major step for the county’s efforts to steer redevelopment of the site.

The property has been the subject of previous redevelopment plans, including a film academy, hotel and casino. None of the previous plans, which the county was not a party to, have ever panned out.

It’s likely county of-

ficials will take steps similar to ones used for the redevelopment of the parking areas at the Infinite Energy Center, where a request for proposals was issued and a private sector partner was chosen to handle the redevelopment.

In the Infinite Energy Center’s case, North American Properties was chosen and it came up with the Avalonstyle “Revel” mixed-use development, which is expected to break ground next year.

The county is expected to also take a similar approach to redevelopment of the former Olympic Tennis Center site, which the county acquired in 2016, near Stone Mountain.

One possible use that has been discussed is a multi-modal transit hub that could be built on part of the land that the county purchased. The OFS site is on the Jimmy Carter Boulevard corridor, and the county’s Connect Gwinnett Transit Development Plan calls for the construction of a multimodal hub on that corridor.

Whether a portion of the property is used for that, however, will depend on what the county, and possibly MARTA intend to do about that facility. Gwinnett is holding a referendum in March on whether the county should hitch its wagon to MARTA and become part of the regional transit system.

If the referendum passes, part of Gwinnett’s contract with MARTA calls for the transit agency to implement the Connect Gwinnett plan.

While Gwinnett is buying a majority of 169 acres of land on the OFS property, the company will retain ownership of 66 acres at the site, and lease back about 60,000 square feet of office space in one of the buildings that the county acquired for a three-year period.

TOP STORIES of 2018

A look back at recognizable Gwinnett figures who died in ’18

By Curt Yeomans

curt.yeomans @gwinnettdailypost.com

Tripp Halstead’s name first appeared in headlines in October 2012 when Hurricane Sandy caused a heavy tree limb to fall on the toddler at his day care center in Winder, giving him a traumatic brain injury.

For the next four and a half years, the world followed his recovery beginning with weeks spent at Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta and later followed by numerous surgeries. He captured the hearts of many people as he and his family lived their lives, including a trip to Disney World in 2017.

A Facebook page called “Tripp Halstead Updates” was set up so supporters of the family could check on the little boy’s progress over the years.

But, Halstead’s story came to a tragic end in March when he passed away. He was 7.

“There are no words to express how Bill and I are feeling at this moment,” Tripp’s mother Stacy said on Facebook on the day he died. “We are beyond devastated and honestly I believe I am in shock. Our amazing, perfect, beautiful miracle of a son, Tripp Hughes Halstead passed away at 5:47 p.m. today. He was our whole world.”

Halstead was one of several recognizable names of people in the Gwinnett County community who died in 2018.

The list of other notable deaths this year include Lilburn’s first female mayor, the co-founder of Chateau Elan, a coach for the Gwinnett Stripers, a former Buford High School football standout, a Peachtree Corners pilot and musician, a founding member of the Gwinnett County Fire De-

partment, the namesake for Alexander Park and a pair of pioneers in the Auburn community.

Here is a look back at some of the other recognizable names in the Gwinnett community who died this year: • Beloved Shiloh grad and longtime Georgia Teach Athletic Association employee Thomas Lozano died in March. Lozano, who used crutches to walk because of a health condition, was a manager for Shiloh’s basketball team in high school and later worked for Georgia Tech athletics after he graduated from the school. Tech honored him with a moment of silence at a basketball game following his death.

• Aviator and musician Elgin Wells died in April when his “Starjammer” plane crashed in China during a practice run for an air show.

He was known as much

for his unique plane, which was covered in lights, as he was for his musical skills.

He was actively involved with Eddie Owen Presents in Duluth and performed at Duluth Mayor Nancy Harris’ annual state of the city addresses.

• Auburn resident Miriam Wood died in June. She had played an integral role in getting both the Auburn Public Library and Auburn Museum started, and she taught at Dacula Elementary School for several years.

• Another Auburn pillar, Violette Lyle, also died in June. She worked at the Auburn Post Office for 38 years, including 13 as its postmaster, and was also a member of Welfare Board and the Order of the Eastern Star as well as president of the United Methodist Women.

• Former Mountain View High School cross country athlete Amy Lee was killed

• Former Buford High School football standout Tyrone Sorrells died in August from an undisclosed illness.

Sorrells was a three-sport athlete at Buford and was a Parade All-American in

football who later played at Georgia and Georgia Tech.

He was also an inductee into the Buford Sports Hall of Fame.

• Chateau Elan cofounder Don Panoz died in September from complications from pancreatic cancer.

He also co-founded Milan Pharmaceuticals (later renamed Mylan).

• Gwinnett County Police Officer Antwan Toney died in October after he was shot by a suspect while respond-

ing to a suspicious vehicle call in the Snellville area.

• Gwinnett Stripers Assistant Coach Jose Mota died suddenly in the Dominican Republic in November.

He spent 22 years with the Atlanta Braves organization and was an assistant coach for the Gwinnett Stripers for four years (2014, 2016-18).

• Jane Alexander, who was one of the namesakes along with her husband for Alexander Park near Lawrenceville, died in December. The Alexanders sold the land that became the park to the county in the 2000s.

• Former Gwinnett County Department of Fire and Emergency Services Assistant Chief Tom Griffin died this past week. He was one of the department’s founding members.

Other stories that generated headlines around the county this year

By Curt Yeomans

curt.yeomans @gwinnettdailypost.com

There are several stories that happened in Gwinnett in 2018 that, while they may not have made the list of top stories of the year, are worth noting as well.

These stories include: • Craig Newton and Rey Martinez were sworn in as the mayors of Norcross and Loganville, respectively, in January. Each new mayor made history as Newton is the first black mayor of a Gwinnett city and Martinez is believed to be the first Hispanic mayor of any city in Georgia.

• SafeHarbor and Margaritaville Development reached an agreement with Lanier Islands on Jan. 30 to open the Jimmy Buffetthemed Margarittaville at Lanier Islands at the former site of the LanierWorld attraction. Rebranding efforts took place in the spring and the new attraction opened in June. It also expanded Magical Nights of Lights in December to include a winter-themed attraction with snow tubing.

• Gwinnett County Relay For Life celebrated its 25th birthday in May, bringing together some of the people who helped get it started along with longtime volunteers. A museum highlighting the relay’s history was on display at the event at the Gwinnett County Fairgrounds. The Gwinnett County Relay for Life remains the largest Relay for Life event in the world.

• Gwinnett County officials revealed plans in May to purchase 103 acres of land at the OFS Brightwave Solutions site overlooking Interstate 85 at Jimmy Carter Boulevard. Officials have said they want to encourage redevelopment of the property, but have not ruled out a portion of it being used to house a multi-modal transit hub. The county closed on the purchase of the property this past week.

• In May, Lawrenceville officials unveiled early plans for the

Lawrenceville Performing Arts Center, which will effectively serve as an expansion of the Aurora Theatre since the popular theater will manage it for the city. The city continued to refine the plans and take public input through the remainder of the year.

• Former Family Promise of Gwinnett Executive Director Matt Elder moved over to the United Way in Gwinnett County to serve as the new HomeFirst Gwinnett director, a position that the United Way and Gwinnett County government teamed up to create, in July.

• Gwinnett County teacher Jonathan William Herbert resigned over the summer after he was arrested in Hall County for biting a teenage girl’s buttocks in Lake Lanier in July.

County jail a day before he died, according to jail records.

• UGA student Alvin Ahmed was reported missing in July after his car was found in a Publix parking lot in Loganville. His body was found not long after floating in Lake Carlton in Loganville, and authorities quickly ruled it to be a suicide.

• Lawrenceville officials broke ground on the $200 million SouthLawn development in August. The sprawling 32-acre mixed use development is a publicprivate partnership between the city and George Berkow and the Novare Group, which will include office spaces, retail and restaurant spaces, green spaces and residential areas.

Could neck surgery be the cause of high blood pressure?

DEAR DR. ROACH: My husband, who is 71 years old and very active, had squamous cell carcinoma of his mouth a year and a half ago. He had surgery in Pittsburgh, along with a radical neck dissection.

All nodes were negative and the oral cancer was taken care of at the time of surgery. However, from the day he had surgery to the present date, his systolic blood pressure reading is constantly around 165 to 170. His diastolic pressure is fine. He is on 10 mg of lisinopril to protect his kidneys, since he is a Type 2 diabetic, which is very much under control. I wonder if perhaps during the neck dissection an artery could have been damaged, causing the high systolic pressure.

— D.A.W. ANSWER: I am impressed by your thinking. The major blood vessel in the neck, the carotid artery, has a pressure-sensing area called the carotid sinus.

This helps to regulate blood pressure and, in theory, if the blood vessel were damaged in surgery, the blood pressure could go up.

What is more likely is that the nerve to the carotid sinus was damaged, either by the tumor or by surgery (for example, the tumor was around the nerve and the nerve had to be sacrificed to remove the cancer). When that happens, a reflex in the brain causes the heart rate to increase and blood vessels throughout the body to constrict, and blood pressure goes up. For most people, the blood pressure generally returns back to normal on its own after a few months, but there are published cases similar to your husband’s.

While the mechanism is speculation on my part, a blood pressure of 165 to 170 is not optimal for anyone, but is especially high for a person with diabetes, where the risk of heart attack and stroke are increased. Lisinopril is a good choice, because it protects the kidney and heart, but it sounds like your husband needs additional lowering of his blood pressure, whether through nonmedical means or with additional medication. If a medication is necessary, a beta blocker such as carvedilol (not normally a first choice in people with diabetes) might be particularly effective if the mechanism I suspect is in fact the case.

Dr. Roach regrets that he is unable to answer individual letters, but will incorporate them in the column whenever possible. Readers may email questions to ToYourGoodHealth@ med.cornell.edu or send mail to 628 Virginia Dr., Orlando, FL 32803.

Mom worries about friends’ fatigue Dear Amy: My husband and I have been married for almost five years. We have two great kids. My husband has had some mental health problems, and life has been very difficult over the last year. I have a wonderful support system, with three girlfriends in particular — all married with kids of their own.

They have rallied around us during a turbulent time.

Last month, I went back to work part time.

All three girlfriends have offered free child care in their home to help us out.

The kids stay primarily with one person, “Anna,” most days. “Rose” and “Charlotte” pick up the slack when Anna is unavailable, or if I’m able to pick up an extra shift.

All of these wonderful friends have stated how happy they are to help us.

All of our kids are close in age, and they get along well and entertain each other.

My question is this: What signs should I be looking out for regarding burnout?

I’ve been on the giving end, where I helped out a single mom with child care when she could not afford anything. I ended up burning out.

Is there anything I can do to help prevent this from happening to my girlfriends?

boss is not “the boss” of you. You get to ask questions and be as nosy as you want, outside of work. Ask around. Find out whatever you can.

TOP STORIES of 2018 Students walk out of classes to protest after Parkland shooting In the wake of Feb. 14’s Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooting in Parkland, Fla., students across the country — and in Gwinnett — held peaceful protests urging a reduction of gun violence.

More than 3,900 students across 45 Gwinnett schools walked out of class on the morning of March 14 as part of the nationwide protest.

While the reception in Gwinnett was generally positive — in Duluth, the police department posted a photo of around 100 high school students holding hands on the town green and students took to social media to thank the officers for allowing them to safely participate — Gwinnett County Public Schools said students who walked out would face disciplinary consequences for breaking school rules for missing class, though it’s not clear how many actually did.

While it’s impossible to tally exactly how many students walked out nationwide, it’s estimated that thousands participated in the 17-minute protest, which honored the 17 Parkland students.

Stas Preczewski sent shock waves through the Georgia Gwinnett College campus, and throughout the rest of Gwinnett County, in September when he announced he planned to retire as the college’s president at the end of the academic year.

Preczewski was chosen to be GGC’s president in 2014, although he’d served as interim president for a year before that. He is the second person to ever hold the position at the Law-

rencevillebased college, and was its vice president of academic and student affairs for Stas eight years Preczewski before he became interim president in 2013.

The University System of Georgia’s Board of Regents is expected to conduct a national search and hire a new president in 2019.

Hands-free law goes into effect

Longtime legislative, local officials retire Some established names from Gwinnett in local and state politics and criminal justice decided it was time to hang up their hats in 2018.

Among the officials who decided to retire from public office when their terms expired this year were state Reps. Brooks Coleman, David Casas and Joyce Chandler, Gwinnett County Board of Education members

Robert McClure and Dan Seckinger, Superior Court Judges Tom Davis and Debra Turner and State Court Judge Joseph Iannazzone.

Those retirements signaled a significant changing of the guard.

Coleman has served in the state House of Representatives since 1993 and had amassed political clout as chairman of the House Education Committee.

Casas, along with state

Rep. Pedro Marin, DDuluth, was one of the first Hispanic members of the Georgia General Assembly, having served in the House since 2003.

And McClure and Seckinger each served 24 years on the county’s school board and oversaw significant growth in the district’s student population as Gwinnett went through a period of explosive growth.

On July 1, Georgia’s hands-free law went into effect, making it illegal for a driver to be touching a phone while driving — with some exceptions.

“Georgia drivers are prohibited of having a phone in their hands or from having it touch any part of their body while operating a motor vehicle on the road,” said Garrett Townsend, director of public affairs for AAA in Georgia. “It is certainly a step in right direction as far as reducing distractions, but the truth is, hands-free does not mean risk-free. At AAA, we think (the law) a good op-

portunity for drivers to try to reduce all distractions while driving.”

The law, which was passed earlier this year and signed by Gov. Nathan Deal in May, is intended to make the roads safer, with the Georgia Governor’s Office of Highway Safety saying “the 15 states that have passed hands-free driving laws saw a 16 percent decrease in traffic fatalities in the two years after the law was passed.”

While it’s only been six months since the law went into effect, the initial results have been promising, local and state agencies have said.

Elections bring history-making results, lawsuits In a year when there were several storylines taking place in Gwinnett elections, there were perhaps three that stood out from the others.

One was the historymaking elections of minorities to the school board, county commission and State Court bench.

These elections included the county’s first black judge, State Court Judge Ronda Colvin-Leary; Everton Blair Jr. as the first black person elected to the Gwinnett school board, and Marlene Fosque and Ben Ku as the first black and AsianAmerican members of the county commission, respectively.

Then there was the Democratic blue wave that flipped several seats long held by the GOP, including two commission seats, one school board seat, and five state House seats and two state Senate seats. The flipping of the legislative seats will have a major impact for Gwinnett because, starting in 2019, Democrats will be the majority in the county’s legislative delegation.

And then there were the legal battles over counting votes cast in Gwinnett during the Nov. 6 general election.

The race for governor was a close battle be-

tween Democrat Stacey Abrams and Republican Brian Kemp. Kemp got just over the 50 percent threshold to avoid a runoff with Abrams, but the Democratic candidate’s campaign filed legal challenges to get additional ballots counted in Gwinnett, among other places.

There had been issues in Gwinnett with absentee ballots being thrown out because of mismatched signatures

as well as election day issues including machines that went out at some polling locations. Although Abrams’ campaign was able to get some additional ballots counted, she remained short of the total number of votes needed to force a runoff after Gwinnett certified its results.

Abrams ended her bid for governor but emphasized she was not giving a concession speech.

Bosnian refugee gunned down in Walmart parking lot after argument Forty-nine-year-old Fadil Delkic had come to the United States for a better life after surviving Bosnian concentration camps.

Yet on Aug. 19, after Patricia Austin and her boyfriend, Troy Hunte, got into an argument with Delkic in the parking lot of a Snellville Fadil Delkic Walmart, Delkic was gunned down, shot once in the chest by Hunte, police said.

According to police reports and court proceedings, the argument between Hunte, Austin and Delkic began as Hunte and Aus-

tin were walking out of Walmart with their premature baby. “(Austin) was apparently angry at (Delkic) for being in the crosswalk,” Snellville Police Department Lt. John McKinney testified at an August hearing.

The argument escalated and Delkic exited his car. After he walked up to Austin, she slapped him, McKinney said, and within seconds, Hunte allegedly shot Delkic in the chest.

Though Hunte was initially charged with voluntary manslaughter, McKinney said that after reviewing the video footage and looking at all the witness statements, the charges were upgraded to felony murder. He remains in the jail without bond.

TOP STORIES of 2018

Mysterious Project Rocket development generates rumors What is Project Rocket? Is it going to be an Amazon fulfillment center?

These are the questions that arose after a planning and zoning request for a proposed four-story distribution center on West Park Place Boulevard at the Gwinnett-DeKalb county line surfaced over the summer.

County officials have been tight-lipped about what the development, referred to vaguely in county documents as “Project Rocket,” will be. Officially, the property is already zoned for a distribution center, but developers needed permission to build a structure that is taller than county ordinances allow.

Rumors circulated that it will be an Amazon fulfillment center, but officials have refused to confirm that.

After months of discussion, Gwinnett commissioners approved their portion of the property, which includes the actual distribution center, this fall. DeKalb commissioners, however, rejected their portion, which was a small part of the property that included a truck driveway.

A formal announcement about what Project Rocket will actually be has still not been made.

The fund, a nonprofit that has long tracked officer fatalities, released its 2018 Preliminary End-of-Year Law Enforcement Fatalities Report on Thursday, just a day before Henry County Police Department Officer Michael Smith succumbed to his injuries after being shot in the face at a Georgia dental office in early December.

Smith’s death came just two weeks after DeKalb County Police Department Officer Edgar Flores was gunned down on Dec. 13 following a traffic stop.

While Georgia’s line-ofduty deaths did not increase between 2017 and 2018 — five male officers and one female officer were killed in the state in 2017 — the number of deaths caused by gunfire increased, a number consistent with the memorial fund’s national statistics.

According to the report, firearms-related fatalities claimed the lives of 53 officers in 2018, a 13 percent increase compared to the 46

officers killed in gun-related incidents in 2017.

Of the 53 officer deaths, 14 occurred while officers were attempting to place an individual under arrest, 12 while officers were responding to domestic disturbance or public disturbance calls and eight while officers were conducting an “investigative activity.”

Five officers were shot and killed conducting traffic stops, two officers were killed while serving warrants and two officers were killed while handling or transporting prisoners.

In addition, two officers were inadvertently shot by other law enforcement personnel, one officer was killed while responding to a burglary, one was killed during a tactical situation

and one was killed while responding to a call for an armed suicidal suspect.

Five officers also died from gunfire after being ambushed, a 50 percent decrease over 2017.

Firearms-related deaths were not the only numbers that were up in 2018, however; traffic-related fatalities increased nine percent from 2017 with 50 officer deaths.

Of those, 32 officers were killed in crashes and 14 officers were struck while outside of their vehicle, a 56 percent increase over the nine officers struck and killed in 2017. Four officers were killed in motorcycle crashes.

Texas, Florida, California, and New York had the highest number of officer fatalities with 11 each.

Dolores Mulazzi (DuBois) Dolores Isabel DuBois Mulazzi, age 81, of Sugar Hill, GA passed away Wednesday, December 26, 2018.

North Carolina had seven deaths, while South Carolina and Indiana each had five. Two territorial officers and nine federal officers also died in 2018. Thirteen states and the District of Columbia did not lose an officer in 2018.

Of this year’s fallen officers, 134 were male and 10 were female. The average age was 41 years with an average length of 12 years of service — something National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund CEO Craig Floyd called “disappointing.”

“The rising number of law enforcement officer deaths in 2018 is disappointing news after a decline in 2017,” Floyd said. “Sadly, this reminds us that public safety is a dangerous job

and can come at a very steep price. We must never take the service and sacrifice of law enforcement officers for granted, and we must remember the families of the fallen who are left behind.”

There are currently 21,541 names of officers killed in the line of duty inscribed on the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial in Washington, DC, dating back to the first known death in 1791. The deadliest year on record for law enforcement was 1930 when 307 law enforcement officers were killed in the line of duty. The last time officer fatalities dipped below 100 for a single year was 1944.

vote on $1.8B 2019 budget this week When Gwinnett County commissioners hold their first meeting of 2019 this week, there will be the usual business, such as appointments to various positions and boards, but the big item on their agenda will be the county’s $1.8 billion 2019 budget.

Commissioners are set to vote on the budget at their 2 p.m. business meeting Thursday at the Gwinnett Justice and Administration Center, which is located at 75 Langley Drive in Lawrenceville. The budget includes dozens of new police and sheriff’s deputy positions as well as salary increases that could total up to 7 percent for some county employees.

The county’s police department is expected to gain about 30 new officer positions, while the sheriff’s office is expected to gain 41 new positions.

The county’s fire department is expected to gain at least six new positions.

A key part of the budget, however, is the 4 percent pay for performance salary increase and a mid-year 3 percent market adjustment for salaries of county employees.

The budget also includes funding for preliminary engineering on bus rapid transit routes and the upcoming March 2019 MARTA referendum.

Parkview’s Stinchcomb feted at College Football Hall of Fame

will.hammock@gwinnettdailypost.com

ATLANTA — Matt Stinchcomb was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame earlier this month in New York City as part of a big gala, the 61st National Football Foundation Annual Awards Dinner.

The Parkview graduate and former University of Georgia All-American was honored again Friday in a more intimate, local ceremony that was just as special.

Stinchcomb and his fellow inductees were recognized at the College Football Hall of Fame with a trophy-presentation ceremony and a luncheon, followed by the unveiling of their permanent rotunda display at the hall’s home on Marietta Street.

“What makes the Parkview grad Matt Stinchcomb signs auto- institution are the guys, graphs Friday after a ceremony celebrating the coaches, the players,” his induction into the College Football Hall of Stinchcomb said. “To be Fame. part of a class as accom-

plished as these guys are, to be included among them, I think that’s where the value is derived. It’s fantastic. The hall sounds like, institution’s a great word, and it’s not just that.

It’s to be associated with those guys, to be thought of in the same ways those guys are. And to be able to represent the teams you were on. Maybe an individual is being recognized, but it’s about a lot more than that one player.”

Stinchcomb’s glass display in the rotunda, and accompanying digital resumé, now sits along-

side his 2018 classmates, including coaches Frank Beamer (Murray State, Virginia Tech), Mack Brown (Appalachian State, Tulane, North Carolina, Texas) and Mel Tjeerdsma (Austin College of Texas, Northwest Missouri State).

The players inducted this year with Stinchcomb are Trevor Cobb (Rice), Kerry Collins (Penn State), Dave Dickenson (Montana), Dana Howard (Illinois), Calvin Johnson (Georgia Tech), Paul Palmer (Temple), Ed Reed (Miami, Fla.), Aaron Taylor (Nebraska) and Charles Woodson (Michigan).

Though Woodson couldn’t make Friday’s event, he was cheered loudly by a strong contingent of Michigan fans, in town for Saturday’s Chickfil-A Peach Bowl against Florida.

Henry named Brain Bowl MVP GAC sophomore running back shines at Georgia Elite Classic

By Taylor Denman taylor.denman@ gwinnettdailypost.com

POWDER SPRINGS — Greater Atlanta Christian sophomore running back Tre Henry didn’t work from the pistol formation much during the regular season.

His National Team counterparts at the Georgia Elite Classic Brain Bowl were too talented not to utilize them with some form of deception, so Henry lined up alongside in pistol often.

In its 31-21 win, the National team tried double reverses, double passes and play action. Perhaps the most effective play of the game was a simple screen to Henry. He caught a flare out of the backfield and took the reception 70 yards for a touchdown, his second of the day. He had seven carries for 32 yards and a TD to go along with two catches for 85 yards and a Brain Bowl MVP performance.

“I think I did pretty well, considering we practiced three times,” Henry said.

Participants in the Brain Bowl were required to have a GPA over 3.0 and ACT scores above 23 or SAT scores higher than 1050. Henry hasn’t yet taken either of the standardized tests, but his GPA at GAC is well-beyond the threshold at 4.3.

With equally qualified teammates and innovative coaches, Henry was happy with his experience the annual postseason showcase.

“It’s definitely a great experience,” Henry said. “I had a great time with the team and we really bonded together, then we came out here and dominated.”

The game provides some early exposure for Henry and indicates a bright future for the running back, who will begin his junior season at GAC with 19 varsity carries under his belt.

The Brain Bowl also featured a handful of other Gwinnett products.

Dacula’s Konata Mumpfield scored the game’s final touchdown on a 70yard reception in the third quarter for the American Team. His teammate, Parkview senior linebacker Zach Hamilton, had five solo tackles and three unassisted tackles. North Gwinnett senior linebacker Major Carlberg also saw significant reps at middle linebacker.

Norcross’ Sutton emerges late Norcross senior wide receiver Hayes Sutton

featured standouts. Ward led the team in tackles with six, including one tackle for loss. Both Hill and Ward played in the Georgia Elite Classic as sophomores.

“A lot of competition, some of the best in Georgia,” Ward said. “Seeing them and being able to compare yourself to them in three days of practice and a game, you see who’s really hyped up and who’s really got it.

Norcross’ Roland Jackson played at several positions in the defensive backfield including cornerback and safety.

made the most of his two targets in the 2018 Georgia Elite Classic Senior Game at McEachern High School on Friday.

A few offensive plays after his first target fell harmlessly to the turf, he caught the second target as he was taken down over the middle of the field but prevented his knees from hitting the ground. He tacked on approximately 10 yards after the catch for a 25-yard reception.

That may have been the Norcross wide receiver’s only mark on the stat sheet, but he said he could make his mark and showcase himself in other ways without receiving targets in high volume.

“The coaches on the team obviously got to see me all week,” Sutton said.

“I talked to a few and they said they would reach out because they like the way I move. That’s one advantage to it.”

The showcase was a good opportunity to Sutton to shine even after his high school football career is over. He is listed as 6 feet tall and 200 pounds.

He caught 32 passes for Norcross during the regular season, but he was the Blue Devils’ third-leading receiver in terms of yards (500) behind Isaiah Wilson and Christian Sims. But his 36 receptions were secondmost on the team.

Perhaps he was buried behind two all-county wideouts, but he still made acrobatic catches in the slot for Norcross. This week he tried to adapt to passes from two different quarterbacks, plus a steady drizzle throughout the senior game made passing a luxury.

“It’s taken a lot of getting used to adapt to different quarterbacks and how they throw,” he said.

Sutton plans to sign during the regular period,

which begins in February. He is planning some official visits and holds offers from Gardner-Webb, Saint Anselm and Centre College.

“I was trying to come out here and show myself to more coaches, because I’m still looking,” Sutton said.

Brookwood’s Hill hustles It wasn’t long after Brookwood offensive tackle Sean Hill introduced himself to his Georgia Elite Classic head coach Van Spence that the Paulding County head coach asked him an unorthodox question.

“Can you run?”

Unequivocally, Hill answered, “Yes.” Had he carried the during a game ball before? No, at least not for Brookwood. But he wasn’t going to turn down a chance at glory in the junior showcase game at McEachern High School on Friday.

“He’s like, ‘Alright, we’re going to do a fake to you,” Hill said.

So, the hook-and-ladder was on.

In the second half of the all-star game, Hill ran toward the flats instead of pass blocking. He was totally unguarded. The pass was caught by one of his receivers and pitched back to Hill. Hill carried the ball about 10 extra yards for a first down with one tackler to beat for paydirt.

“Nah, I had a touchdown if I hurdled that one guy,” Hill said.

His teammate and Brookwood linebacker Tony Ward was ecstatic on the sideline for his teammate but was frankly less optimistic that he was destined to score.

“I don’t know, he’s kind of slow,” Ward said sheepishly.

Ward and Hill were a couple of the junior game’s

Class of 2022 features ‘dangerous’ contest Someone forgot to tell the freshmen playing in the Georgia Elite Classic they were playing in an all-star game.

Friday night’s showcase at McEachern High School may have lacked significance but the two teams played to an intense 29-28 shootout, featuring three touchdowns from Gwinnett County products.

Parkview defensive back Champ Baker returned an interception for a TD in the first half and North Gwinnett wide receiver Zach Johansen caught two TDs, including the American Team’s last one that led to a go-ahead 2-point conversion.

Johansen was roommates with fellow North Gwinnett wide receiver Cade Funderburk for the week. Funderburk caught a handful of passes on Johansen’s TD drive including a 13-yard catchand-run that set up firstand-goal for the American Team. Johansen’s three catches totaled 35 yards and Funderburk had three for 30 yards.

Neither had played in the showcase game as middle schoolers, but both are already sought-after 2022 targets by college recruiters.

“Getting a chance to come out and compete against the best guys in the state, 10-out-of-10 experience,” Funderburk said.

The tandem teamed up with gun-slinging Walton product Zach Rozsman who completed 16 of 23 passes for 214 yards and two 2-point conversions.

The freshman offenses were dynamic, and both teams were packed with Gwinnett County products.

Grayson featured the most with eight players.

Johansen described the class of 2022 with one word.

IN BRIEF

Woods, Mickelson skipping Tournament of Champions Tiger Woods won’t be in the field for January’s Tournament of Champions, despite qualifying for the event by winning the Tour Championship in September.

It would have been Woods’ first TOC since 2005.

Woods had until Friday to decide whether to play in the tournament, which begins Jan. 3 on Maui at the Kapalua resort.

Phil Mickelson and Justin Rose were the only other holdouts among the 37 eligible players. Rose, ranked No. 2 in the world, is the only member of the top eight ranked players who will miss the tournament.

Dustin Johnson, who won by eight strokes last year, will be looking for his third title in the event.

Woods has said he plans to play in fewer tournaments in 2019 and would not commit to any tournaments beyond the four majors and the Genesis Open at Riviera in southern California, which his foundation runs.

Shiffrin is only four wins away from tying Sweden’s Ingemar Stenmark for the all-time slalom mark, as he won 40 times between 1974 and 1987.

Saturday’s win — which came by a margin of 0.29 seconds over Petra Vlhova of Slovakia — was already Shiffrin’s fourth slalom title this season (in addition to a parallel slalom victory). She also has two victories in super-G and one in giant slalom and leads the FIS overall standings by a massive margin (1,034 points to 568 over Vlhova).

Shiffrin also became the first skier in history to win 15 World Cup races in a calendar year, as seven of her 12 wins last season came after the new year began.

Mikaela Shriffin became the most decorated female slalom skier in World Cup history with her 36th career victory in the discipline on Saturday at the Zauberberg in Semmering, Austria.

The 23-year-old American passed one of her childhood idols, Austria’s Marlies Schild (now Marlies Raich), for the most slalom wins by any woman since World Cup competition began in 1967.

“She is my biggest idol beside Bode Miller,” Shiffrin said. “When I was young, I wanted to be the best skier in the world. I was always watching Marlies. She was a legend. To me, she is the best slalom skier. I wouldn’t be

SNELLVILLE — Collins Hill head coach Brian Harmon was soaking up the positive vibes Saturday evening at Brookwood.

He saw his team win the Deep South Classic 49-42.

His daughter, Bria Harmon, was named tournament MVP. And the coach he played in the finals, Brookwood’s Carolyn Whitney, was the point guard on his first Suwanee Sports Academy travel ball team.

Whitney and the Broncos (9-6) pushed Collins Hill (15-1) in a way that few teams have this season. Brookwood led 26-23 at halftime when Collins Hill’s shots weren’t falling often enough, and the Broncos’ rolls around the rim were friendlier.

Collins Hill’s head coach said, however, he felt some pride when the game was over and trophies were distributed.

Saturday night was the second time student and mentor played each other.

Harmon previously played Whitney when she was an assistant at Lambert.

“I knew they were going to be a good team when I watched them yesterday because they play with poise, and they pick their spots,” Brian Harmon said.

“For a team that plays man like we do, I knew they were going to present a problem. They’re at home, they were playing last night, they had rhythm.”

Bria Harmon provided a stabilizing force for Collins Hill. She had 24 points with three 3-pointers while finishing 8 for 8 from the free-throw line.

Brookwood’s Kiki Ad-

ams was scoring, dishing and rebounding. She had 12 points, eight assists and 12 rebounds. The hosts also got 10 points from Shannon Niles and six points, 11 rebounds and four blocked shots from Selma Kulo.

Collins Hill’s Javyn Nicholson couldn’t get many shots to fall with 10 points, but was a constant rebounding presence on both ends of the floor with 17 total boards.

The two teams were tight throughout the first quarter, but Brookwood started the second quarter on a 5-0 run, capped by a 3-pointer from Mariah Callaway. Collins Hill trailed 20-15 midway through the quarter.

“If you’re hitting shots,

everything’s good,” Brian Harmon said. “What happened early was we weren’t hitting shots early, they were, and we fell behind a little bit.”

Bria Harmon pulled Collins Hill through some rough patches. She knocked down a 3-pointer with less than one minute left in the first half to get Collins Hill to within a point. Adams drove into the line as time expired in the first half to stretch Brookwood’s lead to 26-23 at the break.

“We just had to keep going,” Bria Harmon said.

“We knew if we let our mind go away, the game would go away as well. We had to keep talking to each other, keep pushing and keep encouraging through-

out the game.”

Brookwood stretched its lead to seven points early in the second half, but the Eagles’ attempts finally started to fall and Collins Hill reestablished control of the game in the third quarter.

Brookwood pulled within 40-38 when Adams delivered a dime to Callaway in the lane midway through the fourth quarter, but Bria Harmon responded on the following possession with a 3-pointer.

She handled the ball with care when Brookwood tried to press and started fouling.

“I knew they were going to start fouling, so I was keeping the ball as close as possible and trying to get open for my teammates, because I knew they’d be looking for me,” Bria Harmon said.

Collins Hill last won the Deep South Classic in 2003. The all-tournament team was announced postgame and included Adams and Alea Spears from Brookwood. Nicholson made the all-tournament team from Collins Hill.

The Eagles have trekked through a nonregion gauntlet with one loss — Charles Henderson from Troy, Ala. Collins Hill has one outof-state crossover game left, but the Deep South Classic marked the last nonregion test before the final month of the regular season.

“I think (Brookwood) is going to be a good team down the stretch,” Harmon said. “I think we’ve played the games we needed to. I hope that Jan. 12 crossover game is another tough one that will lead us into that last stretch before the playoffs.”

when he sniped another wrister from the left wing past Norfolk goaltender Ty Reichenbach, only to have the puck clang off the farside post.

Late in the period, Norfolk got its first power-play opportunity of the game.

Luke Nogard made good on it by zipping a wrist shot from the right faceoff circle past Bonar on a 2-on-1 break to pull the Admirals even at 1-all with 4:41 left in the period.

But MacDonald wasn’t close to being done.

The 28-year-old helped the Gladiators regain the lead with a little hustle, and a little creativity in the back half of the second period.

First, he continued some hard work from McKenzie before poking the puck through Reichenbach’s leg pads for his second goal of the night. Vytal Cote also got an assist on the goal that put Atlanta up 2-1 at 12:10 of the middle frame.

With the period winding down, he created a little magic after swoop-

ing around the net to grab a loose puck in the left side corner. MacDonald lifted a backhander from a sharp angle just above the goal line past a stunned Reichenbach with 41.5 seconds left to send the Gladiators into the second intermission with a 3-1 lead.

Unlike several times in the past few weeks when they let third-period leads or tie games slip away, the Gladiators were able to have a mindset more to Pyle’s liking to clamp down defensively and hold on in the third period.

“The thing was before, we were always opening up (in the third period).

We were always cheating,” Pyle said. “We’ve given up a lot of leads by cheating on the offensive side, but (Saturday) night, I thought we did a good job of cheating on the D side, keeping shots to the outside and giving Bones a chance to win it.”

The two teams meet again today at 3:05 p.m. at Infinite Energy Arena.

Higdon’s absence opened up an opportunity for Turner, who had played in just two previous games, gaining 63 yards on 13 carries.

Junior Chris Evans got the start, but Turner was quickly on the field after drawing praise from coach Jim Harbaugh leading up to the game.

“He’s had really great weeks of preparation,” Harbaugh said in the lead up to the game.

Turner, a three-star recruit who rushed for 2,705

yards and 37 touchdowns in three seasons at Buford, turned down a chance to play closer to home in the SEC for the Big Ten. Turner, who is 5-foot11 and 200 pounds, could have a long stay at Michigan, too. He’ll have four years of eligibility remaining under the NCAA’s new rule that allows up to four games in a season in a redshirt season.

“It’s been great at Michigan,” Turner said. “I got taken in by a lot of good people. They helped me a lot to adjust, and develop as a player and person.

Hall •From Page 10A The new display is conveniently located for Stinchcomb’s family and friends.

“The fact that it’s in Atlanta makes it all the more special just because it’s accessible,” the Gwinnett County Sports Hall of Famer said. “And they’ve done such a great job in this venue. I was just telling someone this is not a museum. It’s the perfect name for it, a college football experience. That’s exactly what it is. There are some exhibits here I get to experience that I wouldn’t otherwise be able to do, like standing on the field at Notre Dame stadium as the teams are running out. Virtually, you’re able to do that here.”

Stinchcomb is one of the most honored offensive football student-athletes ever at Georgia, given his balance between academics, athletics and community service. He is a former recipient of the NFF Draddy Award (currently named the Campbell Trophy) which is often referred to as the “Academic Heisman.”

As a three-year starter at offensive tackle for the Bulldogs, Stinchcomb was a consensus first-team

All-American in both 1997 and 1998, including those teams chosen by the Associated Press, American Football Coaches Association and Walter Camp. He was the recipient of the 1998 Jacobs Blocking Trophy, which goes annually to the top blocker in the SEC and was also a finalist for the Lombardi Award, which goes annually to the nation’s top lineman.

Stinchcomb was just as impressive off the field. He was a two-time Academic All-America first-team member and in 1998 was named the nation’s Academic All-American of the Year, which encompasses all sports at all schools across the country. He also received the Woody Hayes National Scholar-Athlete of the Year Award.

Community service was also one of his passions and during his college career he participated in numerous programs including Habitat for Humanity, Clarke County Mentor Program, Athens Homeless Shelter, Thanksgiving Food Bank and served as keynote speaker for the Northeast Georgia Eagle Scout Banquet. For his efforts, he was recognized as one of 11 football student-athletes across the

country for selection to the American Football Coaches Good Works Team in both 1997 and ’98.

Stinchcomb is the president and founder of the Stinchcomb Family Foundation, a private, nonprofit organization that supports public children’s charities. Together with his brother Jon, a former Georgia football star and former New Orleans Saints NFL lineman, and former Georgia quarterback David Greene, Stinchcomb hosted “Countdown to Kickoff,” an annual children’s charity event held several years at UGA. It provided an opportunity each July for fans to come out and mingle with former and current Georgia players with proceeds benefiting Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta, the Georgia Transplant Foundation, Children’s Tumor Foundation and the University of Georgia College of Education and UGA’s own Pediatric Exercise and Motor Development Clinic.

At the conclusion of his college career, Stinchcomb was awarded post-graduate scholarships by both the NCAA and National Football Foundation. He also received the NCAA Top Eight Award, which annually recognizes the nation’s

top eight student-athletes regardless of sport. In 1999, he was an NFL first-round draft choice of the Oakland Raiders where he played for four years including the 2003 Raider Super Bowl team. He spent the 2004 and ’05 seasons with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He was named a member of the SEC Team of the Decade for the 1990s.

In 2009, Stinchcomb was inducted into the UGA Circle of Honor, the highest honor a former student-athlete or coach can achieve. In 2012, he was named recipient of the UGA Terry College of Business Outstanding Young Alumni Award.

He still lives in metro Atlanta and is a partner with Sterling Seacrest Partners, an insurance and risk management company, and also works as a television football game analyst with the SEC Network and ESPN. Following Friday’s event in Atlanta, Stinchcomb headed to Charlotte for the Belk Bowl, where he served as the color analyst for ESPN’s broadcast. He also is scheduled to work on the network’s coverage of the College Football Playoff National Championship Game.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Bryce Perkins threw three touchdown passes to Olamide Zaccheaus as Virginia crunched South Carolina 28-0 in Saturday afternoon’s Belk Bowl at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, N.C. The outcome helped Virginia (8-5) reverse what had been a late-season slide with three losses in its final four regularseason games.

South Carolina (7-6) lost in a bowl for only the second time in its last seven bowl outings.

Perkins, who rushed for 81 yards, completed 22 of 31 passes for 208. Twelve of those throws went to Zaccheaus, a senior receiver, for 100 yards.

Running back Jordan Ellis rushed for 106 yards on 26 carries.

Virginia is 3-0 in Charlotte’s annual bowl game.

It also won the first two events in 2002 and 2003.

The Cavaliers had some good ball-control offense, with scoring drives lasting 14, 13, 8 and 8 plays.

South Carolina was

limited to 261 yards of total offense. Quarterback Jake Bentley was 17 for 39 for 218 yards with two interceptions.

Juan Thornhill and Tim Harris had fourth-quarter interceptions for the Cavaliers.

One of South Carolina’s best scoring chances came in the opening minute of the second quarter, but Parker White missed on a 45-yard field goal attempt.

Perkins connected with Zaccheaus for a 6-yard touchdown play on fourth-and-2 as Virginia opened the scoring in the first quarter.

Ellis’ 9-yard touchdown run came at the end of a 14-play, 90-yard drive that consisted of more than eight minutes, pushing Virginia to a 14-0 edge in the second quarter.

Perkins also hit Zaccheaus for a 10-yard scoring play midway through the third quarter and for a 12-yard touchdown play with 6:54 remaining.

Send held IS fighters to Guantanamo WASHINGTON — President Trump’s decision to withdraw all U.S. forces from Syria is already having unintended consequences.

The U.S. departure could lead to the release of 1,100 Islamic State fighters now held in detention camps in northeastern Syria — creating a dangerous new terrorist threat to the West.

The Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) — the Kurdish and Arab proxy forces whom the United States armed and trained to fight the Islamic State — do not have the capacity to guard and feed so many terrorists without U.S. support.

And The Post reports that their home countries “are refusing to repatriate their citizens, citing the risk that they would spread radical ideology or perhaps carry out attacks back home.” If the SDF is abandoned by its U.S. patrons, it might have no choice but to release them.

Marc How much damage Thiessen could these terrorists cause? To put it in perspective, the Islamic State had only about 700 fighters left when President Barack Obama withdrew U.S. forces from Iraq in 2011 — yet from that tiny nucleus, the Islamic State grew into the world’s largest, most powerful terrorist network, until Trump unleashed our military to beat the group back. Imagine what destruction an influx of 1,100 terrorists into the global ecosystem could wreak. The Islamic State detainees hail from 32 countries, including many believed to be from Europe. As a Syrian Kurdish foreign affairs official noted, the U.S. withdrawal would create “a security vacuum that these criminals could exploit to escape and pose a danger to all of us,” adding that “they could make their way back to their home countries and carry out bombings.”

The optimal solution would be for Trump to reconsider his withdrawal plan so that we can keep these detainees in Syria under the watchful eye of U.S. intelligence and Special Operations forces. But there is also another possible solution — one that would help the president keep another campaign promise: Send them to Guantanamo Bay. In January, President Trump issued an executive order that authorized the U.S. military and intelligence community to “transport additional detainees to U.S. Naval Station Guantanamo Bay when lawful and necessary to protect the Nation.” During his State of the Union address, Trump asked Congress “to ensure that, in the fight against ISIS and al-Qaida, we continue to have all the necessary power to detain terrorists — wherever we chase them down, wherever we find them. And in many cases for them it will now be Guantanamo Bay.” In March, Congress responded by approving more than $200 million in new construction for Guantanamo Bay as part of the omnibus spending bill. And this spring, the Pentagon formally authorized the station to receive new detainees who pose a “continuing, significant threat.”

There is little doubt that a number of the Islamic State fighters now held in Syria would make excellent candidates for detention at Guantanamo Bay. Trump should order the intelligence community to conduct a threat assessment for each of the detainees to see which ones would qualify for transfer. No doubt, a decision to move some of the prisoners from Syria to Guantanamo would create an uproar in Europe — particularly from countries whose citizens would be transferred. These would be the very same countries currently refusing to take custody of their citizens who went to fight for the Islamic State. Trump should give any complaining countries an ultimatum: Either take your nationals back, or they are headed to Guantanamo.

Transfer to Guantanamo is a less than optimal solution, because right now high-value detainees held on the battlefield in Syria do not have access to lawyers and cannot challenge their detentions in court — which means they can be effectively interrogated for intelligence purposes. But once transferred to Guantanamo, they would immediately get lawyers and the right of habeas corpus — which dramatically reduces their intelligence value.

Instead of transferring these terrorists, we should keep them where they are — and continue supporting the SDF until the estimated 30,000 Islamic State fighters still at large in Iraq or Syria are all killed or captured. The Islamic State is not defeated — not by a long shot.

But this much is clear: We cannot allow more than a thousand dangerous terrorists to be released into the world so that they can return to the fight. They must be kept off the battlefield. Better to keep them in Syria than in Guantanamo, to be sure.

But better to keep them in Guantanamo than release them to carry out jihad against the West.

To those who made ’18 memorable Well, we can pretty much stick a fork in the Year of our Lord 2018. By the time you are through roasting chestnuts on an open fire or eating the last of the leftover turkey, 2019 will come knocking on the door.

This has been a very good year in one respect: I did not read my obituary and I am guessing that you didn’t read yours, either.

I don’t do New Year’s resolutions. For one thing, that is about as original as a broom handle. Nobody means them. Nobody keeps them. It is a waste of paper. My editors don’t like me wasting paper.

Editors can resolve to be very cranky about this kind of stuff no matter what the time of year.

Instead, it is my policy to give out year-end awards and to recognize those individuals and organizations who have made this column a thing of beauty and a joy forever. Bless their hearts.

Our first award is the Running and Gunning Award which goes to our Gov.-elect Brian Kemp who won a very close race after running TV ads holding a shotgun and threatening a little dweeb proposing to date his daughter, which thrilled all the gun-toters and must have dismayed his daughters. I just wish the little dweeb had told Kemp that he

The Tell-It-Like-It-Is Award is the most distinguished of them all. It is presented to a reader who in 25 words or less can best describe the positive impact my weekly efforts have in making this a better world for all people. This year was a tie. A reader on the Georgia coast observed, “Just because you can write that column doesn’t mean you should” and a devoted fan in north Georgia described me as “a jerk, knee jerk, snail poop, bucket head.”

I apologize if I get emotional, but I love this job.

So, one year down and another one about to begin. As in past years, I promise that if you will keep reading, I’ll keep writing (Oops! Was that a New Year’s resolution?) — assuming this meets with the editor’s approval. After all, you and I are a team. Most of all, I wish you peace and happiness in the coming year and may neither of us read our obituary.

Looking to a kinder, gentler year in 2019 This is our last visit together for 2018. When I was a kid, I used to love to peruse the newspapers and weekly publications this time of year, looking back on all the events of the year in the news world as well as in sports and entertainment and popular culture. When I first began to realize my childhood dream of actually getting to write in various newspapers and weekly publications, I enjoyed penning my own reflections on what had happened to me personally and the world in general as we all made one more trip around the sun together.

This year, though — well, this year, as I began to look back on 2018, I realized that, first and foremost — a lot of the fun and the joy have gone out of journalism as society has taken a mean turn. We, the people, have lost all tolerance and sense of decent discourse when it comes to political opinions not our own, and to make matters worse, politics has permeated all phases of society so that it tends to ruin what should be completely unrelated activities.

Let’s talk sports. Even as World War II raged, President Franklin Roosevelt recognized the need for the nation to have a pastime to take its collective mind off the massive struggle

hookers to the highest bidder.

And Pete Rose still ain’t in the Hall of Fame. But Harold Baines is.

You see why I don’t want to look back at the Year in Sports.

It would just cause too much animosity. I want to look forward to a kinder, gentler 2019.

And these was no longer to entertain. protests have spilled over into For some reason they began other sports and have resulted to think that the whole world in a player who is a millionaire gave a damn what they thought many times over claiming that about politics and the world he and every other player in outside Hollywood.

We can still listen to country music, though — if we can actually find it on the radio.

If we can’t look back at sports and pop culture without creating animosity, we certainly can’t look back at world, U.S. and local news.

We had the most acrimonious gubernatorial race in our state’s history not involving three governors or a bicycle being ridden backward, and the chief executive of our nation cannot make a decision or pass gas without being attacked by the mainstream media, so it is pointless to look back at his many achievements — like having the lowest unemployment and highest wages and most new industrial jobs in this country in a generation.

No, I think I will just let 2018 rest right where it is and look forward to 2019. I have only one goal for the coming year. Having realized that I can’t change the world, I am only going to try and be the best me I can be.

Happy New Year, y’all.

I had photographed about three funerals for fallen law enforcement officers when I worked in Clayton and Henry counties, but this was the first time I'd photographed the funeral procession instead of the funeral itself. I was prepared for it to be an emotional experience, but this particular photo was the product of two cases of happenstance.

The first was that someone stood on the side of the road carrying a large enough flag to make a visual statement. The other was that a gust of wind came through right as the hearse carrying Officer Antwan Toney's coffin passed by, causing the flag to fully unfurl at just the right moment. (Staff Photo: Curt Yeomans)

Georgia’s D’Andre Swift (7) running the ball against Tennessee is a nice photo, but not the best sports photo I took this year. The reason I put it in my best of the year is because the last game I went to with my father was a Tennessee game (he was a huge Vols fan). He also took me to a Georgia/Tennessee game at Sanford Stadium when I was younger and Herschel Walker was in his prime.

I was just getting into photography and took my Olympus camera (which I still have) with a Vivitar lense and I got a picture of him jumping over the line for a touchdown. As fate would have it, they were honoring Herschel this year and it took me back 40 years to that day. (Photo: Anthony Stalcup)

I covered a lot of bicentennial events this year, but of all of them, the "1-18-18" mass wedding on Jan. 18 stood out. Weddings tend to make for interesting photos, particularly when you get to capture the loving glances that couples share, especially during their first dance. This particular couple made for a good photo as they shared their first dance as a married couple. (Staff Photo: Curt Yeomans)

As a student of history, I'm often more attracted to stories about the past. And as someone who finds the War of 1812 to be one of the more interesting chapters in American history, I always enjoy getting up to the Fort Daniel site. I've gotten to know the Stancel family pretty well over the years by running into them at events held at the fort site. When Wayne Stancel began playing a mouth harp, I noticed his grandsons were captivated by the twanging sounds it was making as he played it. (Staff Photo: Curt Yeomans)

The candlelight vigil held at Gwinnett Church in Sugar Hill in honor of Gwinnett County Police Officer Antwan Toney, who was killed in the line of duty this year, was a beautiful event. After the services, everyone circled around the tree with candles. Gwinnett really steps up when one of their emergency service members loses his or her life in the line of duty. The day of the funeral, I was amazed to see how many people lined the streets to pay their respects. I’m sure it had to give the family comfort in their darkest hour. (Photo: Anthony Stalcup)

As a reporter, covering the shooting death of Gwinnett County Police Department Officer Antwan Toney was an exhausting one — physically, mentally and emotionally.

There were some happy moments, such as the support the Gwinnett community and beyond showed for GCPD and law enforcement as a whole in the wake of Toney's murder, and hearing those who knew Toney speak about the 30-year-old and who he was was also inspiring. But the majority of the moments were heartbreaking and gutwrenching, especially during Toney's funeral. This photo, taken outside the funeral home during Toney's visitation, shows Toney's friends mourning the man while taking solace in one another. (Staff Photo: Isabel Hughes)

Survivors and caregivers do the Purple Glove Dance at the 2018 Gwinnett Relay for Life. Count the happy faces. How could I not include this photo, after last year’s giant thunderstorm that shut the event down? (Photo: Anthony Stalcup)

Memories of Christmas wishes and catalogs As a child and into my teenage years, a singular event announced that Christmas was comin’.

That was on the day in early November each year when I went to the mailbox and discovered that the Sears Christmas Wish Book had arrived. I was so excited.

I’d open the box to find a green or red-covered catalog filled with dreams.

It was one of the happiest days of the year as I snatched it out, held it close to my chest, and ran to the house to show Mama. I wish I had a dollar for every hour that, over the years, I spent flipping through its pages filled with Barbie dolls, transistor radios and canopy beds.

I didn’t just browse. I studied it. I wished with

Book list — I was beautifully stocked in Barbies, dollhouses and her clothes — but Mama normally went to town and bought them or Santa brought them.

It’s hard to recall a time when ordering wasn’t Ronda today’s press-the-button Rich easy. You had to fill out the order form and send all my heart. Over and a check or money orover, I read the descripder (this was before the tions. I turned pages down popularity of credit cards). and then I would get a Mama and Daddy never piece of notebook paper possessed a credit card in and write down the toy their lives. And they probor other item, the catalog ably wrote no more than number and the price. seven or eight checks a Despite all this research year which were primarily and wishing, I don’t think for taxes and insurance.

I ever got one item from For most of his life, the Sears Wish Book.

Daddy faithfully went Now, don’t feel sorry to the phone and power for me because I always companies every month got a few good gifts and and paid in cash. often things from the Wish Since I didn’t know

where Santa or Mama might be buying my wish list, it never deterred my enthusiasm for the Sears Wish Book. It is one of the lasting joyful memories of my childhood. I cherished then and now every moment of my Christmas wishing.

The Sears, Roebuck catalog and my people have a long, tangled history. Into the mountains, these catalogs took modern America and household items that they would have never seen anywhere except in the Sears, Roebuck pages.

The catalog and the U.S. mail kept them tethered to a world that they could only imagine, one that laid far from the hollers of their reality.

Mama told this story: She was about 6 years old and her sister, Ozelle,

was just over 7. Their daddy had recently announced his anointing by the Holy Ghost to be a preacher in those far-flung mountains filled with churches that only met one or two Sundays a month. A church had called him for his first pastor position so he was going to be ordained in a day-long service that would include a break for dinner on the ground.

Maw-Maw had scraped up enough coins to buy “tams” (berets) for Mama and her sister. She ordered a red one for Mama and a blue one for Ozelle. She put the money in an envelope and it mailed it off.

The girls were spinning with excitement. They had never before had anything store bought and to get something from Sears was extraordinary. Every day,

they were disappointed when they ran to check the mailbox.

The day of the ordination arrived. Still, no hats.

They were heartbroken.

Just as they were crawling in the wagon to leave, the postman arrived. With the hats.

“We were the happiest little girls you ever did see,” Mama recalled.

Sadly, this previously great American company is teetering on the edge of financial ruin, close to the end.

My Christmas wish this year is that Sears survives.

I wish that with all my heart.

What ever happened to professionalism?

Here is a short list of people I encounter on a regular basis who obviously believe their time is more valuable than mine: doctors, store clerks, contractors, school administrators, literary agents and approximately 80 percent of all other drivers.

That, of course, is the essence of rudeness, evincing a lack of common courtesy.

But when applied to professional life, as in the first five examples, it also begets unprofessional behavior.

Over the past 10 or 15 years, in my dealings with other professionals — that is, people acting within the scope of their job — I have noticed a marked decline in professionalism.

I don’t mean to bang on millennials by noting that the problem has gotten worse. I deal with plenty of older professionals, who ought to know better, who behave unprofessionally all the time.

But it does often seem that younger people simply have not been taught the elements of common courtesy that, in a work environment, translate to professionalism.

So what does it mean to act professionally, regardless of profession? Relevant behaviors include the following: Dependability. One sure mark of professionals: They do what they say they’re going to do when they say they’re going to do it. And if it turns out they can’t, for whatever reason, they let you know, explain why, and apologize.

Unfortunately, from contractors to doctors to administrators, dependability has become somewhat of a rare quality these days.

Communication.

Speaking of “letting you know,” another thing that professionals do is communicate, clearly and regularly. One of the most unprofessional behaviors of all is the disappearing act — failing to show up or respond to people’s calls and emails.

True professionals keep their clients and colleagues informed, even if the news isn’t good.

Responsiveness. Of-

Rob Jenkins

ten, communication takes the form of responding to people you’d just as soon ignore. That’s not to say professionals have an obligation to answer every single email or phone call. Some are merely unwanted solicitations or other forms of annoying “spam.”

But professionalism demands that we do respond in a timely manner to any legitimate or potentially legitimate communication — even if we’re busy or it’s somebody we don’t feel like talking to at the moment.

Competence. Of course, one indispensable quality for professionals is simple competence. In my experience, people don’t necessarily expect excellence anymore, as that seems to be too much to ask. They just want to work with somebody who knows what they’re doing and is good at their job.

Basically, competence has become the new excellence.

Consideration. When we boil it down, professionalism is nothing more than the Golden Rule applied to professional life — treating people the way we would want to be treated under the same circumstances.

Because every contractor is sometimes a client, every educator sometimes a student, every doctor eventually a patient.

Keeping that in mind, and behaving accordingly, is the essence of professionalism.

Any individual or charitable organization in the ten counties served by Jackson EMC (Clarke, Banks, Barrow, Franklin, Gwinnett, Hall, Jackson, Lumpkin, Madison and Oglethorpe) may apply for a Foundation grant by completing an application, available online at www.jacksonemc. com/foundation-apply or at local Jackson EMC offices.

More than 14,000 children, from infants to teenagers, are currently in the foster care system in Georgia. Many of these children shuffle their belongings in garbage bags when they are removed from their homes. The totes 2 tots program aims to change that by giving every foster child in Georgia a new or nearly new backpack, duffel bag or suitcase. Since the program launched in 2003, the annual volunteer event has collected and distributed more than 55,000 bags.

GCS and Northside Hospital partner with the Georgia Division of Family and Children Services to distribute the bags in the counties in which they’re collected.

“The totes 2 tots program allows children in foster care the ability to transport their belongings with a sense of dignity,” said Tom C.

Why avoiding conflict only makes things worse Do you like conflict?

Most people don’t. But sometimes, trying to keep the peace simply prolongs the problem.

I was working with a leadership team that had problems with the IT department. The team was

reluctant to openly express its frustrations to the IT leader (a peer) because he was a strong personality who was close to the big boss. Reluctant to risk an uncomfortable conversation, the rest of the team avoided discussing the

issues openly, grumbling and complaining on the sidelines instead.

The problems continued while frustration grew.

By attempting to keep the peace, the leadership team fell into three dangerous (and common) conflict-

avoider traps: 1. False assumptions about intent When the IT leader said, ”this is our priority,” the team made all kinds of assumptions. Their story was: “He doesn’t care about the rest of the business. He’s trying to build a fiefdom.” But that was their story. In truth they didn’t know why he had chosen those priorities.

It’s like the classic orange conflict. Two people fighting over an orange both want the whole thing.

Yet when asked why they want it, one replies, “I need all the juice to make my cake.” The other replies, “I need all the zest from the peel to make my frosting.”

What seems to be a conflict might not be. When I coached the leadership team, I told them to say things like “Tell us more about how this will play out.” The IT leader showed surprising understanding about operations, but he didn’t have much information about the client market. His priorities weren’t wrong — they were simply based on what he thought would be best. With greater shared understanding, the team could make better decisions.

Forget Perfect

Lisa McLeod 2. Mistaking enthusiasm for attachment The IT leader was confident and articulate. But because he was clear in his priorities, the team assumed he was inflexible. Frankly, I encounter this problem a lot in my own life. I get excited about things quickly. I start talking a mile a minute; I come up with a plan, set goals and am ready to move fast. It can be overpowering for some people. They often assume because I’m so excited about my ideas, I’m unwilling to consider anything different.

But confronting a dominant personality doesn’t have to be combative. I taught the team how to keep things neutral and ask questions. Instead of saying, “This won’t work,” they said. “Tell me about this part. I don’t understand.”

As it turned out, the IT

leader was attached to some things, but on several other elements, he was really open to new ideas.

3. Lack of confidence One of the big reasons people avoid conflict is because they doubt their own ability to guide a conversation. They assume it’s going to be an argument and they’ll lose.

The thought process goes something like this: He wants this, I want that and there’s no way to resolve it, so I’ll just avoid it.

But disagreements don’t mean death; they’re just disagreements. Over time, the leadership team was able to see healthy disagreement is crucial for innovation. As they became more confident in the ability to work through issues, they addressed them sooner and worked through them more quickly.

Avoiding conflict only keeps you trapped in it.

When you address issues early without angst or malice, you save yourself a lot of grief.

2018 As much as the music is an essential part of the annual Bluesberry Festival in Norcross, the reactions from the crowd to the music are always interesting to see. It's fun to watch the audience members get into the music by getting up and dancing to the music. When this little girl got up to dance, it was clear that, as far as she was concerned, she was the star of the show. (Staff Photo: Curt Yeomans)

This year, Medieval Times debuted its first woman-led show. In the show’s 35 years, this was the first show that had a queen as ruler, making it a momentous occasion. The decision to cast a woman as the show’s lead also speaks to the increasing role women are playing in society and as leaders, making it an important occasion and photo. (Staff Photo: Isabel Hughes) I covered the Gwinnett County District Attorney’s Candlelight Vigil in remembrance of victims of homicide and vehicular homicide a few weeks ago, and it was one of the most emotional stories I’ve photographed. I was standing toward the back of the auditorium as one of the attendees was speaking, and I noticed these police officers crying in the background. The Christmas tree in the foreground is one of five Crime Victim Remembrance Trees where people could leave ornaments in remembrance of loved ones. To me, it shows the weight of these stories and events on everyone, yet shows how we can all support each other.

This photo stood out to me in particular because Wyatt King, right, had no conception of the fact that his father, Jacob, wouldn't be seeing him for about a year. Taken at an Army National Guard deployment ceremony in Lawrenceville, the families' strength to say goodbye to their loved ones before the men and women were deployed to Afghanistan was inspiring, and not necessarily something I could say I'd be able to do if I were placed in such a situation.
