Health care experts offer tips to avoid flu

BY ISABEL HUGHES

isabel.hughes @gwinnettdailypost.com

It begins with a fever, muscle aches and slight congestion. Then the chills, headache, cough and fatigue set in.

The diagnosis? The dreaded flu.

“We are seeing a very large increase in the volume

of people with influenza,” said Erica Melling, a physician’s assistant for Gwinnett’s ChoiceOne Urgent Care. “Our centers are seeing a 150 percent increase from what we were seeing last year alone, about 30.2 percent of which are pediatric cases, and our patients are flowing in faster than we can get them through.”

ChoiceOne, a partner of

Gwinnett Medical Center, is not alone in what it’s experiencing.

Its two Gwinnett locations — Hamilton Mill and Sugar Hill — are representative of other urgent care facilities, doctor’s offices and hospitals across the nation, which have been bombarded with flu patients over the last several months.

In 70-plus counties across

10 states alone, including Georgia, nearly 15,000 laboratory-confirmed influenzaassociated hospitalizations have been reported since the Oct. 1 start of the flu season, according to data released Friday by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Of those numbers, 53 flurelated pediatric deaths have been recorded, 16 of which

occurred this past week.

One of those deaths, that of a 15-year-old girl in Coweta County on Tuesday, marked the first for Georgia, though health officials are looking into whether the flu killed a 5-year-old boy, Eli Snook, last Saturday.

“If you’re sick, please don’t come to work or school ill,” said Gwinnett County Public Schools

lead nurse Jennifer Pool Ross. “Aside from urging everyone to get the flu shot, that’s our highest emphasis — we’ll figure it out if you have (to be out), just please don’t come to school if you’re sick.”

‘Due for a large outbreak’ Though the flu is especially bad this year — the

When Tom Andersen contemplated starting his own law firm 30 years ago, he knew there was one person he needed to have working with him: his wife, Ethel.

He had been thinking about starting his own law firm for years. By the time he was ready to do it, both he and his wife were working as lawyers.

Ethel Andersen had taken some time off from being a lawyer, however, to raise their two sons, David and Jim, only doing parttime administrative law judge work.

“I think that was probably in the back of my mind ever since I graduated from law school, and that probably had something to do with me coming to Gwinnett County in the ’70s to start practicing,” Tom Andersen said. “But I wanted to have Ethel in the firm, and I really wasn’t willing to start a firm until she, I suppose, gave in and decided to come with me.”

His wife said it didn’t take as much convincing as it might sound, though.

“I thought it would be fun to practice law with Tom,” she said. “I respected his legal abilities greatly, we got along well and I thought it would be a fun venture. I like Lawrenceville very much, and that was where we started the firm. I’d heard Tom talk so much about his

Tom Andersen said he just liked the subject matter involved in economics. Being a lawyer wasn’t on his radar, but his wife helped change his course.

“I actually intended to get an advanced degree in economics, but Ethel persuaded me otherwise,” he said.

Police: Armed robber targeting pharmacies across county

By Isabel Hughes

isabel.hughes @gwinnettdailypost.com

Gwinnett police are looking for an armed robbery suspect whom they believe is targeting pharmacies across the county and robbing them to feed his “hungry children.”

The suspect, who Gwinnett police describe as a white man between 5 feet, 8 inches, and 6 feet tall and weighing between 170 and 200 pounds, is seen on several surveillance videos wearing the same clothing at each of the three robberies, which occurred Jan. 8, 16 and 21.

In the first robbery, the man, who was wearing a camouflage hooded sweatshirt and purple gloves, entered the Rite Aid at 3295 Centerville Highway in unincorporated Snellville and demanded money from a store clerk who was working at the register.

The victim told police the suspect told him, “I don’t want to (expletive) shoot nobody, so put the money in

the bag,” and threw a plastic bag across the counter.

The suspect did not produce a handgun at the time, but the victim told police the suspect had something in his left pocket that was “shaped like a firearm.”

He left on foot after obtaining $343.

Eight days later, a suspect wearing the same clothes robbed the CVS at 4358 Burns Road in unincorpo-

rated Lilburn.

Similar to the first incident, he demanded money from the cash register, though this time he pointed a silver handgun at a customer and employees, according to an incident report.

He left on foot with $353, but not before allegedly apologizing and saying “that he had kids to feed.”

The third robbery, which occurred at the CVS at 2720

Loganville Highway in unincorporated Loganville less than a week later, mimicked the first two.

The suspect, the store clerk said, demanded money from the cash register, then apologized, saying, “I hate to do this to you, but I have hungry children.”

He made off with $623 in cash as well as the “entire bottom portion of the register,” which is valued at $200,

a separate incident report said.

The suspect was reportedly seen driving a white van after leaving the scene of the robberies. Police are looking for help identifying him.

Detectives believe he may also be linked to a break-in at the Best 4 Less on Harmony Grove Road in unincorporated Lilburn.

In that burglary, the suspect is seen on surveillance peering into the front door before throwing rocks to break the glass.

After breaking the glass, the suspect is seen reaching inside, unlocking the door and walking inside. After at-

tempting to steal the money from a secure area, the suspect is seen fleeing the location before responding officers arrive.

Anyone with information related to the cases is asked to contact detectives at 770-513-5300. To remain anonymous, tipsters can contact Crime Stoppers at 404-577-TIPS (8477) or visit crimestoppersatlanta. org.

Tipsters can receive up to $2,000 for information leading to an arrest and indictment by referencing case numbers 18-002590, 18-005269, 18-007020 and 18-003662.

Homeowner shoots man dead Coleman Middle School principal Police: Deceased was allegedly breaking into car

From Staff Reports

By Trevor McNaboe

Gwinnett police are investigating after they said a 20-year-old man shot and killed a man who was trying to break into his car outside his home near Lawrenceville early Friday morning.

The shooting happened on Mayfield Farms Drive at around 1 a.m. when a resident, identified as Robert Morton, was upstairs and heard a noise downstairs.

“He grabbed his firearm and went to investigate,” Cpl. Wilbert Rundles said.

“He ultimately encountered an intruder outside breaking into a vehicle in the

driveway.”

Police said Morton verbally challenged the intruder, but the intruder then charged at the resident.

He fired more than one shot, striking the intruder, who died at the scene.

Police identified the dead man as 50-year-old James Brock of Gainesville.

Authorities say criminal charges are not expected

against Morton. Brock’s motivations for choosing the Morton residence are still unclear.

The resident was brought to police headquarters and was cooperating with detectives. The Crime Scene unit processed the scene. The Medical Examiner’s office and the District Attorney’s office were on scene as well.

Ways to Save on Your Energy Costs When it comes to making your home more energy efficient, the right plan can help you get started.

Jackson EMC offers energy efficiency tips and advice to make it easier for you to start saving money.

HVAC

Remember, about half of your electric bill goes to heating or cooling the air inside your home.

• • • •

DULUTH, GA

FEB. 9-11

NORTH ATLAN HOME SHOW

Here are some low-cost and no-cost ideas to make sure your home uses your energy resources wisely:

• •

Use the heat of the sun in winter to help warm your home by opening drapes and tilting blinds downward; in summer, do just the reverse to help keep your home cool.

Seal cooling and heating ducts with mastic sealant to prevent the loss of warm air in the winter or cool air in the summer.

For energy saving, we recommend setting the thermostat to 68 degrees in winter.

Install a programmable thermostat and set it to adjust the temperature inside just before you are set to arrive home. *Make sure the thermostat is heat pump compatible or it will cause bills to increase.

Replace filters regularly, usually every 1-2 months.

Be sure your air registers are free from furniture and other obstructions. (Blocking airflow is like forcing your heat pump to run a marathon with a mask on.)

DULUTH, GA

**** Use the fireplace sparingly. It draws the home’s heated air up the chimney. Make sure the damper is closed when not in use. ******* Water Heating

FEB. 9-11

Depending on the number people bathing and your laundry demands, water heating accounts for 15-25% of your energy bill.

• • • •

Set the thermostat on your water heater to 120°. (Be sure to turn off the breaker for the water heater before adjusting the temperature.)

Check for leaks. A faucet dripping hot water can add up over a period of time.

Wash clothes in cold water, or use warm water with a cold rinse cycle.

Run full loads in the washing machine and dishwasher.

Lighting Replacing your five most frequently used light fixtures or the bulbs in them with ENERGY STAR® qualified lights can save $70 a year in energy costs.

• • • •

Replace incandescent bulbs with CFL or LED bulbs to save energy.

Run ceiling fans clockwise on low during the winter to circulate warm air and run the heat pump less.

Install inexpensive foam gaskets behind light switches on exterior walls to prevent air leaks.

Install outdoor solar lights.

Doors and Windows Effectively prepare doors and windows to reduce heating (and cooling) bills and increase the comfort inside your home.

• •

Use low VOC caulk and weather stripping around windows and doors to reduce air infiltration.

Install door sweeps and door shoe gaskets to further control heat loss and gain.

*******If you have to replace windows, install ENERGY STAR® certified windows to keep hot air out in the summer and prevent warm air from escaping during winter. ******* Sealing and Insulation The average home has air leakage equal to a two-square-foot hole – that’s like leaving a medium-sized window open 24-hours a day.

• • • •

Check your ductwork for places where seals have come loose; repair them with mastic, a thick paste, or mastic tape, both available at home improvement and hardware stores.

Make sure you have adequate insulation, 10-14 inches deep in the attic, to prevent unwanted heat loss or gain.

Insulate hot water pipes.

Install foam gaskets behind electric outlets and switch plate covers on exterior walls.

Consider planting something different and interesting for this year Recently I attended the Georgia Green Industry Association annual trade show at the Infinite Energy Center in Duluth. Its primary focus is wholesale nurseries and greenhouses where companies from all over the Southeast have ornamental trees and shrubs on display in addition to products.

Though the show was for professionals, the plants they sell often end up in local home landscapes. Also, from 1994 to 2016, the Georgia Gold Medal plants were selected

blue, lavender, white and yellow trumpet-shaped flowers with a wishbone shape coloration inside them. Calibrachoa, or million bells, is closely related to petunias, but smaller, with flowers that come in a multitude of colors. It has a beautiful texture and is excellent for rock gardens, containers and borders. It requires full sun and good drainage.

Herbaceous perennials have the advantage of lasting year after year and are well worth the investment. Red hot poker plants have long leaves that are shaped like swords with an upward growth pattern from the ground. They have tall flower spikes that are red to orange to yellow that make great cut flowers and are attractive to honeybees and hummingbirds.

Variegated Solomon’s seal has silvery striped foliage on stems with an arching growth pattern. It has small, fragrant white blossoms. The plant thrives in shady locations and is not as troubled by deer as hostas. Butterfly weed is appropriately named since it is attractive to many species of butterflies, including the monarchs. It has bright orange blossoms that do well as cut flowers.

The plants are frequently observed blooming along the sides of roads during

the summertime.

Many shrubs have interesting and attractive features in the home landscape. Sweet shrubs are native and deciduous.

They produce maroon flowers with a sweet fragrance in the spring. The cultivar Athens has white blossoms. Limelight panicle hydrangeas produce clusters of white flowers in the summer. As they age, the blooms turn from white to light red to pink in the fall. In the winter, they become yellow to tan in color and make great additions to floral arrangements. Unlike the big leaf hydrangeas, they thrive in full sun. Paperbush has creamy yellow fragrant flowers that bloom in the late winter. The shrub is deciduous with leaves that are blue to green on top and silver underneath.

Several trees that are not commonly planted have interesting characteristics and do well in the home landscape. Fringe trees are smaller in size with a height of 20 feet. They flower in the spring around the time the dogwoods and azaleas do so. The blossoms are small, white flowers that are abundant and create a cloudlike appearance. The blooms last up to six weeks. They are attractive to many species of pollinating insects

and butterflies, and their fruit is a favorite among birds. The Nuttall oak has smooth bark, excellent branching structure and bright red foliage in the autumn. It does well in home landscapes and makes an attractive specimen plant. Its high production of acorns feeds many species of wildlife.

In 2018, consider putting some of these plants in your landscape. They will add interest and beauty to it. If you would like to learn more about Georgia Gold Medal Plants, visit http://www. georgiagoldmedalplants. org/.

Yes, there is a ‘virtual colonoscopy’ DEAR DR. ROACH: I had a Cologuard test and was told that there is blood in my stool. My doctor tried to do a colonoscopy but told me he was unable to complete it due to my colon being very twisted. He sent me to the hospital for a “virtual colonoscopy.” He assured me that it was not invasive and that I would only get dye in my vein. The hospital he sent me to does not perform this test, and also told me that there is no test on the colon that is not invasive. Is this really true? If so, what was my doctor talking about?

— C.L. ANSWER: Cologuard is a test that looks for both blood and abnormal DNA in the stool. A positive result should be followed up with a definitive test.

There certainly is such a thing as a virtual colonoscopy. It is more properly termed “CT colonography,” as it uses the CT scanner to take high-resolution pictures of the colon. It is not invasive in the sense that no instrument is inserted; however, the test still might be unpleasant. That is because, at the current time, the preparation for both virtual and traditional colonoscopies is still the same, and most people find that the preparation is the worst part of the experience; the colonoscopy itself usually is done under sedation, and people really don’t recall much or any of the experience.

However, people usually are not sedated for CT colonography. That’s good because it eliminates potential side effects from sedation, but it’s bad because the colon still needs to be distended with air, and this is uncomfortable for some people.

(Sometimes more than just uncomfortable: I have had more than one patient tell me that they would never get this procedure again.) On the other hand, it is quick — normally, less than 15 minutes.

The radiation itself has potential for risk, although that risk probably is very small, but I want to identify all the risk from the procedure.

If an abnormality is found

by CT colonography, the next step sometimes would be a biopsy, which typically would be done via a colonoscopy. Given the difficulty your doctor had doing a colonoscopy, that might prove challenging. Sometimes a different doctor or just a different day can make the procedure possible.

DEAR DR. ROACH: My 95-year-old mother has been going to the same doctor for about 30 years and swears he walks on water. I, however, have a slightly different opinion.

In the past three years, she has seen only the physician assistant; the doctor is nowhere to be found. The PA examines Mom and seems to be knowledgeable. The PA doles out any prescriptions and provides all medical advice without having that degree. Is this the norm now for doctors’ offices in this country? Better yet, should it be?

— T.H. ANSWER: My personal experience with physician assistants is that they give excellent care. Several welldone studies have shown that the level of care provided by physician assistants (and nurse practitioners) is indistinguishable from care provided by MDs.

Dear Amy: We live out of town from our son, daughter-in-law and our three precious grandchildren. We fly to their town monthly to see them.

Our daughter-in-law’s mother lives around the corner. She is divorced and her life is completely devoted to her daughter, our son and the grandchildren.

She has no boundaries and gives us no time alone with the kids when we visit.

I once tried to talk with her about it, but she ignored my thoughts.

Our son and daughterin-law won’t address this.

I once asked if we could spend some time alone with the grandchildren, and our DIL replied with a nasty text saying how dare I expect her mom to sit home alone while we’re all together when visiting.

She is with them all weekend — every week.

Our grandkids come to visit us one or two times a year and that is all the alone time we have.

We’ve tried to discuss this with our son privately, but he gets defensive.

We fear estrangement if we bring this up again.

Any thoughts on how we can handle this?

— Sad and Disheartened Grandparents Dear Sad: Because this grandmother is so intimately involved in this family’s life, a grandchildren extraction could be extremely difficult.

Presumably the couple

here? Are there options I am missing?

— Upset Dear Upset: If your cousin controls your late uncle’s Facebook page, I don’t think there is any way to be added back without her approving it.

She sounds petty and punitive. Stay in touch with your aunt, but don’t ask her to intervene.

I hope you will anchor now to the laudable and loving relationship you had with your uncle, and let these positive memories sustain you. This might be the best you can do.

Dear Amy: Regarding how to address in-laws, before I married, my future mother-in-law addressed the name issue by saying, “If your parents weren’t alive, I’d hope you would call us ‘Mom and Dad,’ but since they are, it would be disrespectful for us to expect you to call us anything but Sue and Bob.” I was always grateful for her to have solved this dilemma for me before it even became an issue.

Who To Call

Time alone with grandkids sought Ask Amy

Amy Dickinson relies on her for lots of help with the children. You may also assume that they either like her very much and value her presence in their lives, or they need/ want the help so much that they are willing to tolerate her boundary-leaping omnipresence.

Because your daughterin-law was so rude and hostile toward your idea of seeing the children on their own — and your son is so disappointingly passive — if you want to risk one more “ask,” you should appeal directly to the grandmother. Act as if you are asking her permission, and she might grant it.

Say, “We enjoy seeing you during our visits, but we’d also love to spend some alone time with just us and the kids. Would you mind if we took them out by ourselves one afternoon while we’re here? We’d really appreciate it.”

Dear Amy: Last week, my favorite uncle passed away unexpectedly.

I am not on speaking terms with his daughter, my cousin.

She has a long history

of verbally degrading me, then insisting I’m “too sensitive” or “mentally unstable” when I get upset.

I believe this stems from her own insecurity issues, but after 30 years, I had to put up some boundaries for my own well-being.

I maintained a positive relationship with her parents. I attended my uncle’s funeral, was civil and polite to my cousin and directly expressed my condolences to her.

The morning before the funeral, I was still Facebook friends with my uncle. I showed my husband pictures of trips we’d gone on together, as well as conversations we had about books.

Sometime after the funeral, I was deleted from my uncle’s Facebook friend list and all of our mutual posts were wiped out. I suspect my cousin did this, and I appear to be the only family member eliminated — even my husband is still on his “friends” list.

While I understand that the important memories are the ones I carry with me, I can’t help but feel incredibly hurt.

I texted my cousin asking to be added back, but so far I have heard nothing. I don’t want to bother my aunt with this because she is dealing with her own grief right now, and I don’t want to strain my relationship with her.

After moving to Dauset Trails, School system honors library Gen. Lee predicts more winter advocate, media clerk for 2018

By Michael Davis

By Trevor McNaboe

Special to the Daily Post

Emerging from his new home Friday in Jackson, Georgia’s Gen. Beauregard Lee predicted six more weeks of winter.

The weather prognostication was the groundhog’s first from his new quarters at Dauset Trails Nature Center in Butts County.

For years, the general has made his annual Groundhog Day appearance and prediction from the Yellow River Game Ranch near Lilburn. Lee was relocated to Jackson following the game ranch’s closure late last year.

Lured from his slumber by the sounds of a trumpet, an enthusiastic crowd and the aroma of fresh Waffle House hash browns, Lee emerged at 7:35 a.m. and 15 seconds from his enclosure at 101 Whistlepig Way to make his 38th annual weather prediction.

According to legend, if a groundhog sees his shadow on Feb. 2, there will be six more weeks of winter. If there’s no shadow, there will be an early spring.

Dauset Trails Nature Center Director Ike English read Lee’s proclamation.

“I entered my quarters late last fall. A bitter winter has been had by all,” English read. “Winters come and winters go. I do grow weary of the cold and the snow. But when I exited my house, what did I see? I saw a shadow of you and a shadow of me.”

The last line elicited groans from a crowd of hundreds gathered at the celebration, hoping for a reprieve from winter.

“I’m a little bummed,” said Ashley Smith, a pre-

school teacher and ardent Groundhog Day fan, who made the trip Friday from her home in Marietta to see Lee’s prediction. “I’m kind of ready for winter to be over, but I respect him too much to be mad.”

Dawn Lewis of Griffin made the early-morning trip with her three children, Lilly, 5, Wyatt, 7, and William, 10.

“We come here often, and saw they were doing this event, and figured we had to try to make it down early on our way to school,” she said.

Wyatt, she said, was taking the forecast for more cold weather particularly hard.

“Otherwise, we’re good,” Lewis said. “We need the four seasons, so we’ll take it.”

Another larger groundhog known as Chopper, the mascot of the Gwinnett Stripers, was among those who made the drive to see his old friend Beau.

The Yellow River Game Ranch, Lee’s former home, closed suddenly in midDecember after 55 years in operation as a home to

injured and neglected animals, including some wild game animals that couldn’t be released into the wild.

It also let the public come in and interact with the animals in a petting zoo format.

“Since they had to close, we offered to transfer some animals to Dauset Trails, including Gen. Lee,” Gordon Respess, a naturalist at Dauset Trails Nature Center, previously told the Jackson Progress-Argus.

Dauset Trails is a nonprofit outdoor education and recreational center that got its start in the 1980s, like Yellow River, primarily caring for injured and orphaned animals, some of which could not be returned to the wild. Dauset Trails houses a number of wild animals, along with many that would’ve been found on early farms in the area.

An officer who was heading to an unrelated call spotted Briggs at about 12:10 a.m. Saturday at the Jimmy Carter Boulevard bridge over Interstate 85. The officer chased the boyfriend, who was still handcuffed, and took him back into custody.

Briggs was then taken to the Gwinnett County police headquarters so detectives could meet with him. He was later charged with felony murder and aggravated assault.

Gwinnett County Public Schools named Keely Lambert from Simonton Elementary School as its 2018 Media Clerk of the Year on Tuesday. The Media Clerk of the Year award was developed to honor a media clerk, who through individual leadership and sustained effort, has made worthy contributions to the operations of effective school library programs.

Simonton Elementary School media specialist Kyle Flemish nominated Lambert for the award.

Flemish described Lambert as an individual with a team player mindset who is an enthusiastic embracer of change and has an unwavering commitment to exceeding daily expectations.

Lambert is noted as helping every patron with an outstanding level of service and demonstrates an expectation of excellence in every task she completes.

As the GCPS Media Clerk of the Year, she will be nominated for consideration for the Library Journal’s Paralibrarian of the Year. The award recognizes the essential role of paralibrarians in both school and public libraries.

On the same day, GCPS announced Fort Daniel Elementary School Principal Paul Willis received the 2018 GCPS School Library Advocate Award. The school district’s Department of Media Services & Technology Training sponsors the award, which is given to administrators outside the

library profession who have made worthy contributions to the operations of effective library services in their school and to advancing the role of the school library in the educational program.

Some of these events Willis has supported include leading discussion groups for the Readers Rally team, motivating and encouraging participation in the summer Bookapalooza program, and awarding students who reach their reading goals on the morning news show.

Willis has also allocated funds to purchase mobile and flexible media center furniture to allow for innovative teaching and learning. The new furniture has helped transform the library into a collaborative learning space for students and staff.

As a recipient of the GCPS School Library Advocate Award, Willis will be nominated by the district for the Distinguished School Administrators Award sponsored by the American Association of School Librarians.

Mixed-use development sought next to Chateau Elan in Braselton

By Curt Yeomans

curt.yeomans @gwinnettdailypost.com

A Florida-based developer is seeking to build a $200 million mixed-use development across the street from Chateau Elan, and if it comes to fruition, Braselton officials expect it could add millions to local tax revenues.

Halvorsen Development Corporation plans to build a 457-unit, single-family residential community and 193,341 square feet of commercial space, including a shopping center and a hotel, as part of the proposed Chateau Village development. If approved by city officials, the development is expected to take until 2022 to fully build it out.

Barrow County property tax records show Naples, Fla.-based HECE LLC has owned the 229-acre site on Ga. Highway 211 since 2009. Although Halvorsen is listed as the developer on For more obituaries, visit www.gwinnettdailypost.com. filings with the state, HECE filed the application with the city.

zoned scale of a massive commercial/retail development,” Dillard wrote in the application. “As such, the applicant requests approval of this PUD modification to allow a true mixed use community development to include retail and commercial opportunities as well as residential uses.”

The proposed site is split between four adjacent vacant tax parcels located between Interstate 85 and the Tuscany Park commercial development.

Two of the parcels are located at 2151 and 2111 Ga. 211. The other two are located behind existing retail and commercial development that includes The Vineyards Shopping Center, a bank, a gas station and a Holiday Inn Express.

The hotel that will be included in the proposed development would be similar to the Holiday Inn, and the site plan shows it would be built behind the existing bank and gas station.

The commercial and retail buildings are expected to match the style of the existing commercial properties in that area, according to application.

The residential area is expected to have a density of 2.5 homes per acre, and the houses would be built

by Kolter Homes. It would have two gated entrances.

“By working with the topography and creeks on the property, the residential community will be a new, attractive opportunity for houses located with the town and in close proximity to commercial and retail development,” Dillard wrote in the application.

Due to its size, Braselton’s planning and zoning officials have submitted the proposal to the Georgia Department of Community Affairs for review.

Braselton officials wrote in submission to the department that the project could generate between $2.7 million and $3 million in revenues from local property and sales taxes.

The project is also expected to add to the local traffic volume with 636 new trips in the morning and 1,447 additional trips in the afternoon and evening.

City officials told the Department of Community Affairs that Ga. 211 will need to be widened and a new road, running parallel to I-85, will have to be built as well to address the additional traffic volume.

The city plans to work with the Georgia Department of Transportation on those projects.

CDC estimates about 90 percent of cases are the H3N2 strain, which is often one of the worst forms of the virus. Ross said some of the increased numbers of clinic visits may be because the virus has gotten a large amount of media attention in recent days, weeks and months.

Still, she said, the flu is more widespread this year than in past and has stretched nationwide, which is not typical of recent years.

“It’s pretty unusual and we’ve definitely seen greater absenteeism in the schools,” Ross said. “We’re being especially diligent (in terms of) noting early symptoms and identifying the potential virus earlier and we’re also being a little stricter about sending kids home if they’re sick. We’re sending them home more frequently than we probably would at other times of the year.”

Melling said UrgentOne’s doctors and physician’s assistants are also being hypervigilant this year, though the shortage antiviral medicine Tamiflu is causing problems in some areas.

“If we see a patient and in the first 48 hours of (feeling sick) they have even mild flu symptoms, we’re prescribing Tamiflu,” she said. “I’ve been speaking with pharmacists and they say they just don’t have it, though; we’re seeing so often that Tamiflu is back ordered. Some of it is that people are running into pharmacies to get Tamiflu after taking the rapid flu

“But I also learned how dirty the water is,” said Leisenring, who admits to being a bit of a germaphobe. “Afterward, I definitely showered and thought I definitely wouldn’t do that again.

“It crossed my mind before I jumped in, but someone was in trouble.

Rice made sure to get Leisenring started on an antibiotic Friday morning, though. And Leisenring’s suit needs some industriallevel cleaning.

“The guy was pretty lucky,” Nesbitt said.

“Would he have been able to make it back on his own? Who knows.”

Leisenring, 35, made the transition to coaching during the 2014-15 season following a nine-year pro career in the ECHL, AHL and overseas. He played four years in Germany and later in Sweden and Denmark.

He also had a standout four-year collegiate carrier at Vermont.

In his final season with the Catamounts, Leisenring broke NHL great John LeClair’s all-time record of most career points by a Vermont-born player with 117.

This is his first season with the Gladiators, who played again Friday night in Jacksonville before returning home to the Infinite Energy Arena for a game Saturday night.

Members of the Bjorge’s family noticed the 63-yearold couple’s absence early in the days preceding April 9, which is when they began asking Gwinnett police to check on their house, the Daily Post previously reported.

“We met the first night of the first day at Duke at a YMCA-YWCA dinner,” Tom Anderson said.

They later attended Emory Law School and decided to remain in the area afterward, leading them to Gwinnett County.

Although the couple went into law together, their sons took up the mantle of their father’s original interest and went to work in the finance industry.

Over the years, the husband and wife have each been involved in various organizations in the area, and received several honors for their professional and community work.

Police later entered the home after the teens attempted to murder Rider’s parents, which was foiled when the parents fought off the teens. At the scene, officers found a car that belonged to the elderly

This time, when nobody answered the door, officers went inside, where they found Wendy and Randall Bjorge’s bodies.

Bjorge and Rider were arrested after a SWAT standoff ended in them trying to kill themselves by cutting their wrists. Both teens were treated at Gwinnett Medical Center before they were arrested.

“This county has provided us an opportunity to get involved as much as we want to, and we’ve been around long enough that we’ve gotten invited to participate in a whole lot of civic activities and we’re grateful for that as well,” Tom Andersen said.

“It’s been a great place to be (with) a lot of opportunities, not just to do good work, but to be involved in the community.”

The event served as a celebration of the past years at the chamber, with a video that listed stats for events, membership and participation in 2017. It also touched on Gwinnett’s bicentennial year, with historical photos from the county’s past shown on dual screens during dinner.

Longtime chamber volunteer Pat Brannon received a special recognition, highlighting her 20 years of service to the organization, from former chamber president and board chairman Richard

Tucker.

A theme that Kaufman touched on was that the chamber is stronger when its members are actively involved.

“Together we will ensure Gwinnett remains a vibrant and diverse community choice in which to live, work and play, and the success really does continue to live here,” Kaufman said.

Other awards handed out at the dinner included: • Membership Development Manager of the Year: Megan Lesko • D.

that the average 3-4 day contagious period is short and (contagiousness) can even go seven days,” she said.

“Even if the patient is feeling better, going to dinner, going shopping or going to work is still putting everyone you come into contact with at risk. If a family member is sick, isolate the person. Give them Gatorade, medicine and check them regularly, but don’t let them in common areas — especially if you have young children or elderly adults in the home.”

Infants and adults over the age of 65 are most susceptible to the flu and other diseased, Mulling said, and also comprise the largest number of flu-related fatalities.

“The strain this year, H3N2, is especially bad for those (ages) as H3’s tend to affect the especially young and especially old,” Mulling said. “It’s usually not the flu itself that kills people, but the complications that come with it. Those under the age of 2 or over age 65, chronic lung disease patients immunocompromised patients are most at risk, so being vigilant and following up after initial diagnosis is key.”

Mulling said health care professionals are working hard to keep the flu under control this year, but patients also need to help.

“I was in the office until 2 a.m. the other day — a 16 hour day,” she said. “While I (don’t mind) that, we do ask patients to wait at home as we don’t want people in urgent care lobby, because that means you could have

five people walk in with the flu but (because of the contagiousness,) 15 walk out with it. We have a texting option so we’ll text you 20-30 minutes before your appointment time comes, which will also reduce wait time in lobby, so you don’t need to wait here.”

Mulling added that urgent care facilities are just as effective as hospitals.

“If you have the flu and you’re not (deathly ill,) please keep out of the emergency room,” she said.

“That’s one of the worst places flu patients can be because so many other people are there with very serious diseases and (flu) exposure can be deadly. Patients will receive very adequate, if not exceptional care, by utilizing urgent care facilities.”

Since Oct. 1, Gwinnett Medical Center has seen 973 flu cases, which accounts for less than 1 percent — or about about 0.77 — of the season total of 126,117.

But those numbers don’t include all flu patients, as many do not see a doctor when sick. And, there are many more weeks to go.

“The schools have a tendency to reflect community statistics, so when emergency rooms and urgent cares are packed, we’ll see a lot of cases,” Ross said. “Gwinnett schools are such a big piece of the community that we mirror it and thus (advise) everyone of the two main things to support flu prevention: get the flu shot and stay home when ill. Those are the main ways to prevent the disease.”

Flu test, which is not horribly accurate, but a lot of it, too, is a lack of vaccination so people are getting sick.”

The CDC — as well as Melling and Ross — urge citizens 6 months and older to get the vaccination.

While it is only about 30 percent effective this year, the CDC says the vaccine can reduce flu illnesses, doctors’ visits, and missed work and school, as well as prevent flu-related hospitalizations.

A 2017 study in “Pediatrics” was the first of its kind to show that flu vaccination also significantly reduced a child’s risk of dying from the flu, which often begins to increase in October and November.

While most flu activity peaks between December and February, it can last as late as May, which is why health care professionals are still urging people to get the vaccine.

“When comes to vaccinations, herd immunity is a great thing, meaning the more people you get vaccinated, the less likely you are to have a pandemic,” Melling said. “The flu shot, though only 30 percent effective at preventing the virus, does more than just (offer protection) and while it’s great for each individual patient, from the global perspective, it’s almost (essential.) Plus, even if you do get flu, it greatly reduces the severity, loss of work or school time, mortality and hospitalization.”

Added Melling: “Hospitals are not cheap; it costs

thousands and thousands of dollars a day to keep someone there, so if we can reduce even a fraction of that cost, it’s big. Also, other diseases such as polio and smallpox were eradicated (by people getting vaccinated), so it’s just so important to get (the shot).”

Despite the fact that this year’s flu strain is different from the 1918 flu pandemic that killed 50 to 100 million people worldwide — or about 3 to 5 percent of the world’s population — Melling said it seems that every so often widespread outbreaks are recorded.

“Every 100 years or so, it seems like we’re due for large outbreak of something,” she said. “But we still want you to (get vaccinated) because that 30 percent who will be covered by (the shot) is 30 percent more than would be otherwise.”

‘Get the message out’ While it may seem that everywhere a person looks, new literature on flu prevention pops up, Ross said Gwinnett schools have placed special emphasis on disseminating information to parents and students this year.

“Though this year has been worse, our approach remains the same as in previous years,” she said.

“We work really closely to provide messaging about the flu — this is something we do this every year — but this year we’ve done more because we are seeing more widespread illness than we would normally see. Our No. 1 thing is reinforcing

the need for the annual flu shot, but that’s also where we’re trying to put our heads together to better explain why it’s important. We know that (getting the flu shot) is the most important way to prevent the flu and is probably the main thing families need to focus on.”

Still, children and adults alike — especially those who are sick — should take universal measures to prevent the spread of germs — flu or not.

“It’s very simple,” Ross said. “The three main things in preventing spreading of disease are good hand washing, covering your coughs and sneezes and not sharing items. Overall illness prevention measures, such as having good nutrition and getting lots of rest are also important, but those three are key and we’ve got to get the message out.”

Mulling agreed, saying that although adults are less likely to share items than children and students are, Ross’ tips are universal.

“There are some universal precautions, such as covering cough,” she said.

“The flu is spread through mucosal membranes — your eyes, nose and mouth — and by covering your cough, it prevents the bug from spreading. The most important thing, though, is that if you’re sick, stay home.”

Isolation of sick family members is also important, Mulling said.

“You should hydrate, take cough medicine or whatever else you need, but remember

A swift rise North Gwinnett grad crowned Miss UGA in budding pageant career

olly Haynes didn’t grown up in the pageant world.

In fact, the North Gwinnett High School 2014 graduate — and 2018 Miss University of Georgia winner — knew very little about pageantry until her sophomore year of college.

“I first got involved with the Miss UGA pageant two years ago,” said Haynes, who is now a senior at UGA. “I was doing something through my sorority and the Miss UGA at the time encouraged me to try it. At first I was very unsure and I didn’t know if I wanted to do it, but I (ultimately) thought, ‘Why not?’”

So, Haynes took a leap of faith and tried her hand for the title of Miss UGA. “I absolutely bombed it,” she said, laughing. “I didn’t really prepare at all for the interview portion and I didn’t even place — I just completely bombed it. But I remember afterward my dad telling me that I could

I’ve also won some money for (competing).”

The Miss America Organization, which hosts competitions at the local, state and national levels, is the largest private scholarship foundation for women in the United States.

Aside from providing fi-

nancial assistance to participants — Haynes estimates she’s received about $5,000 from the organization to put toward her student loans and another $1,750 or so from UGA that she used for her Spring 2018 tuition — the competition is intended to empower young women and give them a cause to be passionate about.

•From Page 9A Miracle Network Hospitals, each contestant must have a personal platform that they promote through the competition.

Haynes said that was the easiest aspect of the pageant for her.

“I’ve always had a heart

for service, but I think so many young people are looking for ways to (give back) that are fun and rewarding and not just for one day, so that’s what (competing) has provided me with,” she said. “The competition has helped me grow personally but it’s also helped my community and done so in a

long-lasting way.”

Haynes, a leader for Young Life — a middle and high school ministry program — said her focus is on girls, her platform aptly named Girl EmPOWER. “I have two younger sisters so I’ve tried to be a role model to them and this came naturally,” Haynes

said. “With Young Life, we have a girls breakfast every Wednesday at 7 a.m. and it’s just about being a part of their lives and being a friend. I’m closer to their ages than their moms or aunts are and you don’t realize how much influence you have and how you can help shape who they are. It’s just

awesome I get to be in that position.”

Haynes said she credits the pageants for her continued work in the community — and a drive she didn’t know she had.

After placing in the Miss Georgia competition the summer after her sophomore year, she said she was determined to at least place in the Miss UGA pageant the next school year.

But, during her junior year, Haynes contracted mono and couldn’t compete in the school’s competition.

“I was just too exhausted and looked exhausted and missed so many opportunities because of (the illness),” she said. “But I went back to the Miss Georgia competition that year and placed in the top 10 there, so I told myself if I could do (Miss Georgia), I had to try to place in Miss UGA my senior year.”

Not only did Haynes place, but on Jan. 20, she was crowned Miss UGA, which she said has given her momentum for this year’s Miss Georgia competition.

“I said I had to try to win Miss UGA my senior year — this was my last chance and it ended up working out in my favor,” Haynes said.

“I met that goal and now I have a higher goal of winning Miss Georgia.”

Whether or not she wins — this year’s Miss Georgia pageant is scheduled for June 12-16 — Hayes said she’s learned a number of valuable skills through the competitions.

“I’ve experienced so much personal growth and really honed my interview skills and speaking skills,” she said. “I’m now able to present myself in a lot of different ways; whether it be in an interview room or getting on a hospital floor and playing with kids battling cancer, because of the pageant, I’ve learn how to adapt and I think it’s helped put me a step ahead of my peers who haven’t necessarily had the same practice.”

Set to graduate in May, Haynes said she hopes to use her pageant experience in the “real” world.

“I’m a marketing major with a minor in fashion merchandising and I’m hoping to get a job where I can use use both skills — I really want something where I can use both degrees,” she said. “I want to use my brain and I love all sides of it, and I also hope to keep (volunteering). I think it’s extremely important for people not just be involved in school or work and to do something in community — to be involved and pursue something like that.”

President is on right path after speech President Trump’s first State of the Union address set a new standard. For himself. If he lives up to that standard in future speeches, he may go far in changing his image from a blustering, ad-libbing “entertainer,” to someone who looks and sounds, shall I say it, more “presidential.”

The speech was well-crafted, delivered in a mostly low-key manner and timed Cal perfectly to link Thomas themes with fleshand-blood guests in the balcony. It didn’t hurt that first lady Melania Trump looked stunning in an allwhite suit and caused jaws to drop as she descended the balcony stairs to her seat.

The president appealed to Democrats to find “common ground” on important issues, but the TV cameras showed members on the Democratic side of the aisle with facial expressions that looked like they were in after-school detention. Never has there been a more morose image presented to the American public.

Mr. Trump had better be careful about reaching out to Democrats. When George H.W. Bush extended his hand to thenSpeaker Jim Wright, D-Texas, Wright and his fellow Democrats effectively cut it off by proposing tax increases and forcing Bush into a compromised 1990 budget agreement. It cost Mr. “Read My Lips” the 1992 election.

When it comes to the Democrats, too many Republicans have the notion expressed in the film “Chicago” where Queen Latifah sings, “When you’re good to Mama, Mama’s good to you.” Better to win the argument and defeat the other side’s ideas than to play nice and have your pocket picked.

In what could be the most memorable line of the evening, President Trump countered the label used by the left to describe the children of immigrants whose parents broke the law to come to America.

He said, “Americans are dreamers, too.”

Some of his strongest supporters might be irked that the president offered a “path to citizenship” for the children of undocumented immigrants. He put their number at 1.8 million. Conditions include a good education, ability to work and good moral character. After 12 years, he said, they can apply for citizenship. Democrats are likely to oppose that. They want their votes now.

At a small gathering of pundits at the White House on Monday, the president said he picked the 1.8 million figure believing Democrats would reject it, and that he would return to the original 700,000 if they did. He also would end chain migration, allowing only spouses and the children of those already here to enter the country. And he would end the visa lottery, which he said “randomly hands out green cards without any regard for skill, merit or the safety of our people.” The promise of a “wall” was mentioned again.

The president promised to keep Guantanamo open. He promised future foreign aid would “only go to friends of America, not enemies of America.” And he promised “maximum pressure” on North Korea because of its nuclear program and pledged support for Iranians, who want to take their country back from clerics.

Rep. Joe Kennedy III, D-Mass., delivered the Democratic response from Fall River, Massachusetts. Kennedy had a small audience that tried to replicate some of the applause and standing ovations the president received. His youth made him appear as though he were delivering a college valedictorian speech.

Kennedy dragged out the usual victims (Democrats are the party of victims, not overcomers), including evil corporations, racism, denial of civil rights, white supremacists marching in the streets, “anxious, angry and afraid” Americans, transgender individuals and the failure to give “workers” their “fair share.” Wait until money from the tax cuts shows up in their paychecks and then ask “workers” how they feel.

The president was optimistic and forward-looking, while Kennedy was mostly negative and looked backward. Advantage Trump. If he maintains the discipline he demonstrated Monday, Trump’s approval ratings and his chances of getting some of his agenda passed in Congress may quickly improve.

Foster kids again pawns in politics I have a great interest in and a little walking-around knowledge of the political process because I have spent a good part of my adult life dealing with the subject.

I also produce this weekly screed that runs from one end of the state (LaFayette) to the other (Folkston) and a lot of places in between. I haven’t run the numbers in a while, but I suspect I remain the most widely circulated columnist in the state.

If not, I am pretty darned close.

Despite these two interesting factoids, I am pretty much out of sight and out of mind with a lot of our intrepid public servants under the Gold Dome (except the really astute ones).

That is because I don’t spend a lot of time at the Capitol. That is a good thing for you.

Being at arm’s length gives me a different perspective as to what is going on under the Gold Dome, which brings me to my subject of the week: Updating Georgia’s antiquated adoption laws. Once again this session, the issue is being held hostage by the state Senate and, in my opinion, much of that is due to the fact that this is an election year and some of the principal players are running for higher office.

parents.

I said at the time and I say again, if this matter was of such concern to Ligon and others, it could have been addressed earlier in the session, instead of sneaked in at the last minute.

Fast-forward to this year. The same bill made its way through Dick the House and when it got to Yarbrough the Senate, another bill, HB 359 There is no question the state was attached to it, a measure code needs updating. The last that among other things gives a update was in 1990, due mainly parent the power of attorney to to the efforts of a state senator transfer their child to a family by the name of Nathan Deal. member or a faith-based agency Today, the average time for for a period not to exceed a year. foster care adoption in Georgia Nice in concept maybe, but the is more than two-and-a-half problem is that this bill was years, or most than twice the vetoed last year by Gov.

He and his to place children with same-sex colleagues in the Senate have

had a year to work this issue out with the House, as Gov. Deal had suggested they do in his veto message. At worst, Cagle could have introduced a separate measure to deal with his concerns while the state got its antiquated adoption code updated.

Why wait until now and attach a potentially toxic measure to the House adoption bill? It’s the elections, stupid. Time to play up to your base. In this case, the “faith-based” crowd.

Cagle asserts the Senate is working on language modifications that will assuage Deal’s concerns. I am told that that effort isn’t as far along as Cagle claims. But, does it matter? If the governor again vetoes the bill and that in turn scuttles the update of the adoption code, Cagle can put the blame on the governor while taking credit for giving it the old college try.

Oh, and the 13,000 foster kids in Georgia awaiting adoption?

Once again, they are pawns in a game of political posturing. You don’t have to spend a lot of time at the Gold Dome to understand that. What a pity.

Memories of ‘rocking out’ at the sock hop I don’t suppose they have sock hops anymore.

Most anybody who reads my column would be old enough to remember sock hops. They were dances held, usually, in the local high school gymnasium after football or basketball games.

The name was derived from the fact that you had to take your shoes off at the door, lest you scratch the gymnasium floor, which was a big no-no back in the days of highly polished hardwood floors.

Of course I went to Newton County High School when Ronald Bradley was in charge of the high school gym, and we had to take our shoes off at the front door of the Teen Can, across the street from the gymnasium.

Even that was suspect because lightning was sure to strike you if you stepped on Ronald Bradley’s gleaming basketball court wearing your “street shoes.”

I remember the day Mrs. Burke came to the gym, although I cannot for the life of me, remember why. I do remember, however, that she walked right across to the center of the gym floors in her sensible school pumps, and there was an audible gasp from both the boys PE class, who were lined up for calisthenics, and the girls class, who were sitting on the half of the basketball court closest to the school, waiting on Miss Margie Blair to call roll.

Girls wore really ugly one-

called the “Where-it’s-At” — or the Jaycee’s Youth Center on Brown Bridge Road.

You could keep your shoes on your feet at all those places.

Now, talk of sock hops bring back memories of poodle skirts and saddle oxfords and bobby socks, but we just wore regular Darrell Huckaby old clothes to our dances. But there was always live music and piece contraptions called gymthat music usually sprang forth suits when I was in school. Not from the combined creative even Sheila Bates looked good genius of Billy George — or his in a gymsuit. younger brother, Raymond — Anyway, Coach Bradley Gary Taylor, Mack McKibben came trodding across the floor and Mike Whatley. There were to rebuke Mrs. Burke, which others, of course, who played none of us had ever seen happen in different combinations and before and would never see under different names — Phil happen again. (By the way, the Stone and The Mystics, the same dictionary that says “ain’t” Glass Menagerie, the Changin’ and “y’all” aren’t words says Tymes. that “trodding” isn’t either, but When we got together to that is what Coach Bradley was “rock out,” it was all good to us. doing.) He asked Mrs. Burke to Now honesty compels me to take off her shoes and promised admit that I never had the selfher that if she wouldn’t walk confidence to actually dance. on his basketball floor with her I mostly stood and watched, shoes on that he wouldn’t come wishing that I had the selfin her math class barefoot.

move my feet around so I would always hit the floor when the band played “To Love Somebody” or “Colour my World.” I polled my Facebook friends this week about their favorite slowdance songs and got everything from “The Tennessee Waltz” to “Free Bird,” but those were mine.

I have a funny story about “Free Bird,” which happens to be the No. 1 most requested drunk redneck song on the planet.

I was in B.B. King’s in Memphis about four years ago and the band broke out with “Free Bird,” so I asked my lovely wife, Lisa, to dance. Surprisingly, she said yes. I didn’t know they were going to play the long version, but I was determined to last as long as the band did.

I did not, however. Eighteen minutes later they were still going strong. I was not. But Mrs. Mary Dennison was watching me and I was determined not to stop — and I didn’t. I’m not sure I’ve taken to the dance floor since, however.

I wonder if we could get together and have one more sock hop, just for old times’ sakes.

Maybe we could get the band to play “To Love Somebody.”

Maybe I could even get Linda Evans to dance with me one more time.

In all, different combinations of Keegan Walsh, Grant Clark, Drew Grier, Aidan Stoffle, Nathaniel Stoffle, Sam Sims and Dylan Scott teamed to sweep all three relay event titles for Brookwood, which played a major part in the Broncos winning their third straight largeclass state team champion-

ship, convincingly leaving runner-up Lassiter (304.5), third-place Lambert (260) and the rest of the field in their wake.

Having three different individuals — Aidan Stoffle (second), Nathaniel Stoffle (eighth) and Walsh (ninth) qualify for the A final and score points in the 100 backstroke also was a huge boost to Brookwood’s late run.

“The backstroke was really big for the boys,” Brookwood coach Jack Gayle said. “That helped a lot. … Because it was so locked out in the final heats, basically I told (the relay teams) they had to win state twice. You have to win prelims, and you have to come back and win again in the finals because there’s no protection. Ev-

ery place matters.”

True, every place mattered for the Broncos, including a second state runner-up finish from Aidan Stoffle in the 100 freestyle, and every other county team.

But individual titles were also plentiful for Gwinnett teams aside from

Brookwood girls charge out gates, return to top of podium

By David Friedlander david.friedlander@ gwinnettdailypost.com

ATLANTA — After coming up short for a team title in the state’s largest classification the past five long years, Brookwood’s girls weren’t necessarily looking for a specific blueprint to get back to the top of the team podium at the GHSA’s State Swimming Championships.

They were just looking for results, and they got what they were looking The Brookwood girls swimmers react during the GHSA championships Saturday at for.

Boosted by strong early Georgia Tech. The Broncos swept the state titles in the largest classification, the first swims, the Broncos rolled school to do so since Parkview in 1998. (Photo: Dale Zanine)

up enough team points not to have to sweat things out in the final event of the day, as they claimed their first Class AAAAAAA state title with 363 points to outdistance runner-up Lambert (325.50) and dethrone defending champion Walton (282) in Saturday at Georgia Tech’s McAuley Aquatic Center.

As it turned out, Brookwood did finish strong, with Maddie Cordle, Emma Claire Cohen, Reagan Sweeney and Tegan Sweeney combining to place second in the 400yard freestyle relay.

But by that time, the

Broncos had already jumped out of the gate with some early points, including a fifth-place finish from the 200 medley relay team of Cohen, Juliana Carey, Reagan Sweeney and Lily Burke, plus a fifth- (Tegan) and sixth-place (Reagan) finish in the 200 freestyle by the Sweeney sisters.

State runner-up finishes by Burke in the 100 freestyle in a time of 50.92 seconds and the 200 free relay team of Leila Taylor, Cordle, Tegan Sweeney and Burke only helped cement the Broncos’ lead.

Hoops heats up in region tourneys

By David Friedlander david.friedlander@ gwinnettdailypost.com

Region tournaments mark the point in the high school basketball season in which teams go from looking towards the long term into “win or go home” mode.

But boys and girls team from throughout Georgia, and particularly in Gwinnett County, will really be playing for keeps as region tournaments tip off this week, with teams eyeing for finishes good enough to extend their seasons into the state tournament.

For some, like most region regular season champions and a handful of runners-up, that task has already been accomplished via an automatic bye into the semifinals by their respective regions.

For the rest, the next week figures to be really intense, particularly in a select few regions.

Perhaps the most intense tournament could be the Region 6-AAAAAAA boys tournament, which features four teams — Peachtree Ridge, Mountain View, Collins Hill and Duluth — that not only finished within two games of each other in the regular season standings, but also all won at least 17 games overall.

Throw in a very dangerous No. 5 seed in Discovery and the tournament figures to be one of the most fiercely competitive in the state.

But that’s nothing new for the teams, which have battled each other for the better part of three months, though that competitive-

Another region tournament involving Gwinnett teams that could be very intense is in Region 8-AAAAAA, where boys and girls teams from the region’s two county schools, Dacula and Lanier, will carry the No. 2 and 3 seeds in some order into the tournament, with the possibility that they could meet for the third time in two weeks in the region semifinals.

While that order is definitely known on the girls side, with Lanier (20-5, 8-2) capturing the No. 2 seed with a 46-41 win at Dacula on Friday, the boys order is more complicated.

Lanier’s 77-71 win over Dacula on Friday has left the two teams in a tie for the No. 2 seed and having to split the regular season series, which will require Peachtree Ridge’s Tamir Harrison-Chester (12) looks to a coin flip at the region pass the ball against Mountain View’s defender Miles meeting Sunday to deterLong (2) during Tuesday’s nights game played at Moun- mine seeding. tain View.

UGA men lose fourth in last five Field Level Media Lamar Peters scored a game-high 20 points and Mississippi State rolled to a 16-point halftime lead and held off Georgia, 7257, in an SEC game Saturday in Starkville, Miss.

Mississippi State (17-6, 5-5 SEC) surpassed its overall victory total from last season. Quinndary Weatherspoon and Nick Weatherspoon added 14 points each and Aric Holman scored 12. MSU, which had lost its last six games against Georgia, hosts Alabama on Tuesday.

Yante Maten, the SEC’s

leading scorer with an average of 19.6 points per game, had 11 in the second half and finished with 13, matching Tyree Crump’s total to lead Georgia. Pape Diatta came off the bench to score 12 by making all four of his 3-point field-goal attempts.

Georgia (13-9, 4-6), which was coming off a 72-60 home victory against No. 23 Florida last Tuesday, lost for the fourth time in five games. It visits Vanderbilt on Wednesday.

MSU led, 37-21, at halftime, but Maten started the second-half scoring with a jumper for his first field

goal and Georgia quickly got within 11 points.

Nick Weatherspoon scored three baskets as MSU rebuilt the lead to 51-32.

Three times Maten made a basket to get Georgia within 13 points and each time MSU had an answer.

MSU extended the lead to 16 before another basket by Maten and a 3-pointer by Crump got Georgia within 63-52 with 5:33 remaining.

Holman scored four points as MSU took a 6854 lead with 4:10 left.

Both teams went scoreless before Diatta’s

3-pointer cut the lead to 68-57 with 2:37 left, but two free throws by Quinndary Weatherspoon and a layup by Peters put MSU in command.

Peters scored 11 points as MSU took a 24-11 lead midway through the first half.

Diatta made two 3-pointers as Georgia got within 28-18.

Nick Weatherspoon scored five points and Quinndary Weatherspoon added four down the stretch to halftime.

Maten had just two first-half points, missing all three of his field-goal attempts.

which has been mostly as a role player off the bench in his career.

That role changed a bit earlier this season, when he was thrust into the starting line-up for 14 games when regular starter Nicolas Batum was injured, including twice breaking his career high in scoring with 27 points in a Nov. 27 game against the San Antonio Spurs and 32 points against the Toronto Raptors on Dec. 20.

After performing well in the temporary starting role, Lamb returned to his bench role without complaint when Batum returned, and has continued to thrive.

“Whatever my role is on the team, I’m going to do it to the best of my ability, whether that’s filling in is a starter or coming in off the bench trying to add a spark,” Lamb said.

“Whatever it is, I’m going to do it.”

As Clifford points out, Lamb has demonstrated himself to be one of he most effective players off the bench for any player in the NBA’s Eastern Conference.

While he faces tough competition for the league’s Sixth Man of the Year award from the likes of South Gwinnett grad and current Los Angeles Clipper Lou Williams and Minnesota Timberwolves guard Jamal Crawford, the fact he is even in that conversation is what Clifford believes shows how far he’s come.

And Lamb continues to keep working hard.

As much as he’s enjoyed his career to this point, he still has plenty more to accomplish, and many years still in front of him to accomplish it.

“I’m far away from my peak,” Lamb said. “I’m going to keep working, trying to keep getting better and better and see where that takes me.”

Lewis, 42, was the heart of two defensive-minded, Super Bowl-winning Baltimore Ravens teams, capturing MVP honors for Super Bowl XXXV. He was a 13-time Pro Bowler and a two-time league Defensive Player of the Year.

Urlacher, 39, earned eight Pro Bowl selects and was the 2005 Defensive Player of the Year in a 13year career spent entirely with Chicago. Bears.

Dawkins, 44, spent 13 seasons with the Philadelphia Eagles and three with the Denver Broncos. He was a nine-time Pro Bowl honoree, the second-highest total for a safety.

When the Eagles have the ball: There is no question that Nick Foles is the X-factor. Teammates have voiced strong support for the embattled backup quarterback throughout the week, pointing to his strong performance in the rout of Minnesota during the NFC Championship Game. However, there is also the combined 23for-49 passing for 202 yards over the final two regular-season games and Philadelphia scraping by with 15 points in the Divisional Playoff victory over Atlanta.

Given two weeks to prepare, Patriots coach Bill Belichick is a proven master of exploiting weaknesses.

New England likes to be varied in how it attacks opponents, but the Patriots are pretty clear in this case — keeping Foles unsettled, which could come in the form of pass-rushing specialist James Harrison & Co. pressuring Foles’ blind side against backup left tackle Halapoulivaati Vaitai.

Philadelphia finished third in rushing during the regular season. Belichick will no doubt load up to contain Jay Ajayi, LeGarrette Blount and Corey Clement. If the Patriots are successful in those efforts, it will be incumbent upon Foles to step up and makes plays while avoiding turnovers.

When the Patriots have the ball: New England finished the regular season second in points scored, first in total yards and second in passing yards. If there’s a potential weakness, it’s with the ground game that averaged 118.1 yards per game and 3.5 yards per carry.

By the same token, the versatile personnel in the Patriots’ backfield does contribute heavily to that passing game — essentially as an extension of the run.

New England’s committee of backs combined to rank second in rushing touchdowns, receptions, receiving yards and scrimmage yards while leading

the league in touchdown receptions. The versatility of Dion Lewis and James White likely will factor heavily into New England’s game plan as the Patriots test the Eagles’ linebackers in coverage.

The strength of the Eagles’ formidable defense lies with the pass rush. Having quarterback Tom Brady simply stand in the pocket and wait for receivers to get open is asking for trouble. Expect Lewis and White to be heavily involved from the outset in an attempt to force Philadelphia to adjust its personnel packages, and for the Eagles potentially to counter with three-safety looks.

Tight end Rob Gronkowski has been cleared from the concussion protocol and provides a critical element to the game plan.

He likely will be shadowed heavily by safety Malcolm Jenkins, which is one of the marquee matchups — and Gronkowski’s presence also stresses the personnel charged with dealing with complementary weapons such as Brandin Cooks and Danny Amendola.

Notes: The Patriots are appearing in their eighth Super Bowl since 2002, seeking their sixth title during that span. The Eagles are 0-2 all-time in Super Bowls, including a 24-21 loss to New England in Super Bowl XXXIX. … The Patriots seek to tie the Pittsburgh Steelers (six) for the most Super Bowl titles. … This will mark the seventh “rematch” in Super Bowl

history. … The Patriots lead the NFL with 10 Super Bowl appearances. … Foles seeks to become the eighth backup quarterback to lead his team to a Super Bowl victory. Brady led the Patriots to a win in Super Bowl XXXVI after Drew Bledsoe was injured. … Brady seeks to become the first player to lead the NFL in passing yards during the regular season and win the Super Bowl. …

White had 14 catches and three touchdowns in Super Bowl LI last year.

In Our View: One school of thought is that the Eagles would be wise to build an early lead, turn to their ground game and control the clock.

That’s Football 101. But after watching Brady overcome double-digit deficits against Atlanta in last year’s Super Bowl and Jacksonville two weeks ago, Eagles defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz said he really doesn’t want to see Brady in the fourminute offense.

The Jaguars puckered when they considered putting their season on Blake Bortles’ arm. Philadelphia coach Doug Pederson is far more aggressive by nature, and he won’t be afraid to sink or swim if Foles needs to make a play — or four. Whether Philly is protecting a lead or forced to try to rally for a late score, the Eagles’ hopes for that elusive first Super Bowl title will come down to the backup quarterback who considered retirement this time last year.

Mountain View sends 10 to state after sectionals

By Colin Hubbard

Sectional Wrestling Roundup

Staff Correspondent

HOSCHTON — The Mountain View Bears wrestling team showed consistency once again Saturday at the GHSA Class AAAAAAA section B state wrestling sectional at Mill Creek.

For the third year in a row, the Bears will send 10 wrestlers to the state tournament next week behind two firstplace finishes and three thirdplace finishes.

They also qualified wrestlers with two apiece at fourth place and seventh place as well as one in eighth.

Garrett Spikes (170) and Harrison Spikes (195) took home the two firsts for the Bears in their only two finals matches. While it wasn’t a flashy day for the powerhouse team, head coach Jim Gassman was pleased with the results.

“We had seven (wrestlers) in the top four today, so that will help us for next week going into the state tournament with some better seeds,” Gassman said. “The kids wrestled good and hard. It’s a tough sectional. This is the tougher sectional I’d say, so the kids did well.”

Coming in as Gwinnett’s second-best team in section B, the Collins Hill Eagles had a very up-and-down day.

While the majority of the Bears to qualify came from third place or lower, the Eagles sent five wrestlers to first-place matches. But when it was all said and done, only Lucas DeSilva came home victorious at 145 pounds.

Clint Gilbert (106), Joey Felix (113), Tomari Fox (220), and Cody Hutchison (285) all settled for second while two more Eagles finished in seventh to bring their total to seven state qualifiers.

The Eagles got off to a shaky start in their first two first-place matches after Gilbert was pinned fairly quickly on a controversial ending that upset both Gilbert and Eagles head coach Danny Sinnott.

After Felix was beaten in the 113-pound weight class, Collins Hill was left scratching their heads. Eventually, DeSilva picked the Eagles back up with a win before watching Fox and Hutchison close the finals out with close losses.

Mill Creek’s Tate Thomas takes on Lambert’s Lucas Tellion (in the ninth place match of the GHSA Class AAAAAAA Section B state wrestling sectional at Mill Creek on Saturday.

“We need to work hard this coming week,” Sinnott said after a tough run of it in the finals. “It was great having five (wrestlers) in the finals, but we lost four of them. Last week we won seven out of seven, so that’s a big difference. We just need to work our butts off this week and go into state feeling prepped and peak at the right time.”

Only a sophomore, DeSilva picked up his second firstplace finish at sectionals in a row and is looking forward to making a run for a state title next week at 145 pounds.

“I’m pumped for state individually,” DeSilva said. “I’ve had a really good season up to this point. I think I could really make a run at a state title.

And as a sophomore, that’s a really special thing.”

While Gassman thinks this was the tougher of the two sectionals, DeSilva believes it to be the other way around.

“I think it will prepare us a lot, but the two really toughest teams in the state I’d say are Archer and Camden, and they’re going to war right now in the other sectional,” DeSilva

Both North Gwinnett and Peachtree Ridge had a wrestler reach the first place match, but both failed to come away with a win.

First, it was North’s Ross McDaniel who succumbed to North Forsyth’s Conner Carroll in the 160-pound bout.

And in the very next match, Peachtree Ridge’s Kyle Brown lost to Mountain View’s Spikes at 170 pounds.

North added a third-place finish, a sixth, and an eighth to send a total of four wrestlers to state, while Peachtree Ridge added a fifth, seventh, and eighth to also send four.

Gladiators falter in front of 10,000

By Christine Troyke christine.troyke @gwinnettdailypost.com

DULUTH — The Atlanta Gladiators were shut out in front of their biggest crowd of the season Saturday.

After beating Jacksonville back-to-back nights on the road, the Gladiators returned to the Infinite Energy Arena with little left in the tank.

Orlando scored three power-play goals and cruised to a 6-0 victory before 10,052 fans in Duluth.

Both Gladiator goaltenders were pulled during the rout. Solar Bears’ netminder Mackenzie Skapski stopped all 30 shots he faced, 19 of which came in the second period.

“It’s unfortunate the crowd we had tonight had to see us at probably our most tired this year,” head coach Chuck Weber said. “We didn’t manage the puck in the first period as well as we needed to to manage our energy and then the game got away from us.

“We let a few too many outside influences suck what additional energy we had.

You can’t allow that. You have to take what you have in

reserve and use that on your opponent.”

Atlanta remains in third place in the South Division with four out of six points this weekend. The Gladiators are five points ahead of the Solar Bears and seven up on fifth-place Greenville.

But Orlando has played four fewer times than the Gladiators, who are home again on Tuesday with a rare visit from the Allen Americans. “(The loss) is disappointing with it being against Orlando and they’re the one we’re so close with and they

have games in hand right now,” Weber said. “But we’re capable of better. And we will be better. It’s just disappointing. We’ve got some guys that are pretty beat up right now and we’re running at bare bones numbers-wise. It doesn’t get any easier.”

The effects of two games in Jacksonville, Fla., and a 5 a.m. arrival to Duluth showed. The Thursday game in Jacksonville was originally scheduled for next weekend, but had to be moved, creating the three-in-three.

“We won’t use (the sched-

ule) as an excuse, but it is part of it,” Weber said.

The Gladiators had one shot on goal in the first 10 minutes and hardly crossed Orlando’s blue line.

The Solar Bears, who had similar travel after their 6-2 loss Friday in North Charleston, S.C., scored 3:44 into the game and added a powerplay goal at 14:25. They pushed that lead to 3-0 just 1:39 into the second period.

Joshua Winquist’s second goal of the game, and 17th of the season, chased starting goaltender Sean Bonar from between the pipes. Bonar broke his stick on the boards as he exited.

Dan Vladar, coming off a 4-1 win over Jacksonville on Friday, held the fort for a chunk of the second before the Orlando power play cashed in again.

Solar Bears leading scorer Hunter Fejes potted his 22nd goal of the season just 16 seconds into the man advantage for a 4-0 lead.

Two more goals, one on the power play, in the first 2:14 of the third period were enough for Weber to put Bonar back in the net.

years according to team coaches since a Spartans girls competitor had won an individual state championship, but on Saturday, there were two.

Sophomore Thien-An Maynard came out of Lane 7 to upset several race favorites and win the 100yard breaststroke in a time of 1:05.19.

That win came after she teamed with Mitsue Ostapiuk, Kathryn McGaughey and Caroline Khan to win the 200 freestyle relay in a time of 1:37.44.

Not far behind GAC in the girls standings was Wesleyan, which got a third- (200 free) and fourth-place finish (100 backstroke) from Han-

nah Wasmuth to finish in a three-way tie with Pace Academy and St. Vincent’s Academy with 166 points.

Meanwhile, Buford’s girls also had a strong day in the Class AAAA/ AAAAA division, riding a state runner-up finish in the 100 butterfly and fifth-place finish in the 50 freestyle by Caroline Irwin

to place ninth in their classification with 163 points.

On the boys side, Wesleyan and GAC also both placed in the top five, with Wesleyan taking third at 263 points, and GAC not far behind in fourth with 206.50.

Buford’s boys tied for 20th in AAAA/AAAAA with 50 points.

Brookwood’s victories in the 200 medley, 200 free and 400 free relays.

Mill Creek’s Jake Magahey may have turned in the individual performance of the meet.

The sophomore came into the meet hoping to duplicate his performance in the 200 freestyle during the Gwinnett County meet two weeks ago, one that would have been a state record had it occurred in the state meet.

Magahey did get a record Saturday, though it wasn’t necessarily the one he was targeting, as he turned in a time of 4:16.88, a new mark by nearly two seconds and just over a half-second slower than that national pubic school record, to win the 500 free.

The new mark combined with his individual title in the 200 free in a time of 1:36.11 made Saturday a very good day for him.

“Yeah, I’ll take it,” Magahey said. “(Winning the 200) helped with the nerves. I felt like that kind of happened in county, too.

I didn’t know exactly how I was going to race. I knew I was going to go fast after that, though.

“The 500 has always been one of my strongest events. I like the 200 more because it’s not as long a race, but I think I’m better at the 500.”

Two other Gwinnett

It also helped Brookwood become the first school since Parkview in 1998 to sweep both the boys and girls team titles in a single season, even though the girls didn’t have a single individual or relay team reach the top of the podium.

“We wanted to start off strong,” Brookwood coach Jack Gayle said.

“We had some really strong events at the beginning (of the meet). The medley relay was great.

The 200 free was great.

The 200 (individual medley, which had Carey placing ninth) was great.

We had some real good movement on the girls’ side moving up and getting good position.”

While the Broncos were taking care of their business in the team standings, several other Gwinnett individuals went to work on their respective events.

Collins Hill’s Haley Arner had the best performance for any local competitor, turning in an All-American cut time of 1:49.04 to edge Lambert’s Lilia Smith to win the 200 freestyle, and then posting an All-American time of 4:49.72 to win the 500 free and sweep the distance events. “(The 500) was kind of my main focus (Saturday),” the Eagles’ senior

boys swimmers claimed individual titles Saturday.

First, Dacula’s Bradley Dunham outdueled Aidan Stoffle in the combined 6A/7A 100 backstroke to claim the individual title in a time of 48.24 seconds, helping the Falcons crack the top 10 in the AAAAAA team standings with a ninthplace finish at 113 points. “(The time) was all right,” said Dunham, who also placed third in the 200 freestyle. “Not as good as I wanted it to be, but I had to swim pretty hard in my other races. So I’m happy with it. I’ll take it.”

One event later, Collins Hill senior Andrew Winton posted his second career individual title in the 100 breaststroke with a time of 55.83 seconds, which wasn’t quite a personal best time, but was more than a second ahead of runner up Michael McDowell of Woodstock.

“I always want to go faster,” Winton said. “I’m not too disappointed. I was right up there with my (personal) best. So that was pretty good. Other than that, I always want to be faster.”

While Brookwood took

home the overall team title, it had plenty of company from Gwinnett teams in the top 10.

Buoyed by two placings from Jordan Thompson, including a state runner-up finish in the 50 freestyle, and a third-place finish in the 500 free by Shwan Ahn, Peachtree Ridge finished in fourth place overall with 210 points.

Magahey’s two titles helped Mill Creek take sixth (156), while Norcross (155) and North Gwinnett (153) were right on their heels in seventh and eighth respectively.

Arner actually got a personal best time in both events, and she was the only Gwinnett swimmer to claim an individual state title on the day, though there were other strong performances from local individuals.

Most notably, Parkview’s Abigail McCulloh had a big day, placing third in both the distance events behind Arner, and combining with Kristin Partlow, Zoe Walker and Delaney Carlton to place fourth in the 200 medley relay, as well as teaming with Sarah Livingston, Erin Tillery and Sarah Jahns to take sixth in the 400 free relay.

Meanwhile, Livingston, Carlton, Maggie Nguyen and Walker combined to place fifth in the 200 free relay, which helped the Panthers to 262 team points, good for fourth place.

North Gwinnett rounded out the top five in the team standings with 225 points, thanks in no small part to two individual placings from Marianne Allard, Chantal Jordan and Courtney Niemann.

Mill Creek also cracked the top 10 of the team standings, placing 10th with 130 points.

world&nation World Russian plane shot down in Syria on Saturday A Russian warplane was shot down Saturday in Syria, according to Russian state-run news agencies.

The Russian Ministry of Defense confirmed one of its Su-25 warplanes was downed in Idlib province in northwest Syria, state media outlet RIA Novosti reported.

Militants shot down the plane in an area controlled by al-Nusra Front fighters, according to the RIA Novosti report. Russia and Turkey, which is responsible for a de-escalation zone in Idlib, were taking measures to return the pilot’s body, the defense ministry said.

The ministry said more than 30 militants in the area were killed in a retaliatory strike, according to RIA Novosti, citing “radio intercepts.”

Schiff: Allegations against FBI unfounded House member says Steele has anti-Trump motivations

By Sophie Tatum CNN

A central pillar of Rep. Devin Nunes’ memo alleging wrongdoing by the FBI — that the government did not disclose the political bias of a source when seeking a surveillance warrant — is unfounded, House Intelligence Committee ranking member Adam Schiff told reporters Friday.

The memo, which President Donald Trump declassified on Friday, alleges the FBI abused its authority in applying for a FISA warrant to conduct surveillance on former Trump campaign adviser Carter Page.

Toyota Super Bowl advertisement showcases prototype flying car

By Aaron Smith CNN

Toyota is using the Super Bowl to showcase new and experimental motorized wheelchairs and other vehicles, including a futuristic flying car.

In a 30-second Super Bowl spot called “Mobility Anthem,” Toyota briefly shows a flying car, and it’s not just a “Blade Runner” special effect.

“The one we show in the ad is a

Must read prototype concept car that actually does work,” Toyota Motor spokesman Russ Koble said.

He said it’s a flying version of the company’s compact car prototype, called the i-Road.

The ad also shows a disabled basketball player in a motorized wheelchair called the Exo-Wheel, which the company is experimenting with as a prototype.

The ad also features a man using a motorized wheelchair, called the iBot, to walk down stairs.

That’s a prototype that Toyota has been developing in partnership with a company called Deka.

None of these are on the market yet, the company said.

The ad features people of different races, ages and abilities.

“This is an unprecedented opportunity for our team at Toyota to share messages of unity, friendship, diversity and perseverance,”

said Ed Laukes, group vice president of Toyota Marketing for Toyota Motor North America, in a statement.

Mobility is the theme of the ad, which has a voiceover saying, “When we’re free to move, anything is possible.”

Toyota has three Super Bowl ads this year. The company uses that same slogan in a one-minute spot titled “Good Odds,” which tells the story of Lauren Woolstencroft, a Paralympic skier from

Canada who has won 10 medals, including eight gold.

The ad follows her progress from a baby born with stumps for legs and only one arm, to learning to walk, then learning to dance and ski with prosthetic limbs. The ad reveals at the end that she’s an athlete in the Paralympics.

“I hope that my story encourages and inspires others around the world to pursue their passions, and reach for their own personal best,” Woolstencroft said in a statement.

YMCA honors metro Atlanta volunteers, teen leaders

BY CURT YEOMANS

curt.yeomans @gwinnettdailypost.com

For Lawrenceville resident Serena Aggrey, her involvement as a YMCA volunteer began three years ago when she served as a campaigner for the annual Why It Matters Campaign at the J.M. TullGwinnett Family YMCA. Since then, that involvement has grown to include a little bit of everything. She volunteers in the branch’s play center for its after-school program. She also began volunteering to help adults learn how to swim at the branch after learning how to swim herself through its adult swim classes.

Her involvement in the swimming program has led to her daughters, Rochelle and Alcina, also getting involved the program.

“In my opinion, the Y is different because it focuses on the entire family,” Aggrey said. “Having personally experienced the wonderful benefits the Y has to offer families, I am thrilled to share and help the community and its families within the Y.” Aggrey was one of a handful of volunteers and teen leaders from local YMCAs were recently feted by officials from the YMCA of Metro Atlanta, during its recent rock-themed Celebration of Community Champions dinner, for striving to make a difference in the community.

The metro area organization highlighted its 2018 Volunteers of the Year and its 2018 Teen Leaders of the Year from each YMCA in metro Atlanta during the dinner.

Aggrey was named the Volunteer of the Year for the J.M. Tull-Gwinnett Family YMCA in Lawrenceville and Geralyn Nehemiah Ciceron was named its Teen Leader of the Year as well as a Wharton Endowment Scholarship recipient. Volunteer basketball coach David Gale was named the Volunteer of the Year for the Robert D. Fowler Family YMCA in Peachtree Corners while Edith Garner was named its Teen Leader of the Year.

Meanwhile, two Gwinnett-area volunteers, Stone Mountain residents Dr. Melanie Bennett-Sims and Dr. Marcus Sims, were named the Volunteers of the Year for the Wade Walker Park Family YMCA in Stone Mountain.

Each volunteer and teen leader is making an impact on their communities in their own way.

Gale became a volunteer basketball coach at the Robert D. Fowler YMCA two years ago. Officials

a long association with local YMCAs, going back to when his family moved from Great Britain to Georgia when he was a boy. He took to playing soccer as a youth at the South DeKalb YMCA, and later the Wade Walker Y. These days, he volunteers as a soccer coach at the Wade Walker Y, is a past member of its branch advisory board and an advocate for its heart health programs.

“I believe in the saying ‘Mes que un club,’ which means it’s more than a club,” Sims said.

“I believe it is what the YMCA believes in … that we are a family of people committed to helping others through guidance, compassion for others, understanding, volunteerism and leadership.”

Melanie Bennett-Sims began volunteering at the branch three years ago and also serves as a soccer coach and helps with the Wade Walker branch’s health care fair.

“The YMCA provides activities for people of all ages and many different interests,” Bennett-Sims said. “I love the example that I can make for the children. I coach and help to guide them in respecting themselves and their peers through fitness and good sportsmanship.”

Ben Jones was more to Is your company addicted me than a TV character to dopamine over seratonin?

When finally I was able to park at Cooter’s Last Stand in Luray, Va., and wade through the mud, I discovered that there was a line of more than 100 people waiting to purchase tickets.

Though I was perfectly willing to buy a ticket, and while I remained stunned by the tens of thousands of “The Dukes of Hazzard” fans who showed up to see the cast, cars and shows, I decided to play the media card. I had a newspaper clipping of a column tucked into my pocket so I bypassed the line, went to a young man in a tent and explained that I was there to do a story. With speed and courtesy, he called for Amy Burge, who was overseeing media relations.

With equal speed and courtesy, she arrived and asked, “What can I do?

Would you like to speak to Ben Jones?”

“Yes ma’am!”

“Follow me,” she replied — which was harder than it sounded. The mud was slick and deep even though they had brought in 10 truckloads of gravel over the last few hours. She took me to a motor home where Ben Jones — let’s call him Cooter here — was holding court. His brother, Bubba, and Bubba’s wife, Sandy, were with him.

“Come in, come in,” he said. We talked about the time I filled in on an Atlanta morning radio show and he guested. For the next hour, I sat on the sofa as Cooter ran the event that had drawn 40,000 people, commanding people to do this or that.

Catherine Bach, who played Daisy Duke, stopped by and brought a dose of joy.

Ronda Rich Sandy offered me a sandwich that was the best I ever tasted because it was the first time in years that I had white loaf bread. Oh, the simple pleasures.

“Is this really Cooter’s Last Stand?” I asked. It was obvious that Cooter and his wife, Alma, are geniuses at doing a huge event and had it down to a science. People, nice looking middle class folks, were pouring in for a family event that declared: No likker, cussing or fighting.

“It really is.” Cooter was seated, leaning forward on a cane he uses these days.

Back surgeries and a degenerative spine issue are one reason that the undertaking is falling away. “We’ll do smaller things but nothing like this anymore.”

The pilot for the “Dukes of Hazzard” was shot in Conyers, Georgia, as were the first few episodes of the show.

“We owe a huge debt to the state of Georgia and mostly to Newton and Rockdale counties because shooting there is what created the look of the show,” Jones said. He stopped and locked eyes. “Jimmy Carter started the first film office in Georgia and I want him to know that Cooter thinks that

Jimmy Carter is the greatest man alive.”

Cooter likes to point out that Howard Rosenberg, television reviewer for the Los Angeles Times (he won the Pulitzer Prize for criticism, which Mama could have won had we known there was such an award), wrote about “The Dukes of Hazzard” — “This show will not last past the first commercial break.”

Just like Mama was wrong sometimes, so was Mr. Rosenberg. The show lasted for seven years, bringing in an average viewing audience of 20 million every Friday night. Today’s No. 1 television show — at a time where the population is almost double but so is the dramatic increase of channels — draws around 12 million. When CMT relaunched the series a few years ago with a weekend marathon, 30 million watched. After the Charleston tragedy, the show was pulled from syndication.

Don’t get Cooter started on that. He used to be an U.S. Congressman so he has plenty to say. He is well informed, articulate, and smart.

Learned something, didn’t you?

He’s an admirable man. I highly recommend his memoir: “Redneck in A Promise Land” because it shows the power of the American Dream. May the dream continue for America.

This is the final installment in a three-part series.

Ronda Rich is the bestselling author of “Mark My Words: A Memoir of Mama.”

Life is better with friends.

The little ping is calling your name. Despite your promise to put your phone away during dinner, you can’t resist checking.

We’ll all familiar with the addictive nature of technology. But technology itself is not the root problem; it’s merely a symptom. The larger issue is our growing addiction to dopamine. And the long-term implications are far worse than sneaking a peak at your cellphone.

Dopamine is the neurotransmitter that controls your brain’s reward and pleasure center. It sparks feelings of enjoyment or gratification. Unfortunately, it’s usually short-lived. The satisfaction you get from a quick like on social media or even winning the annual sales contest quickly fades. You’re left wanting more, and more.

Author and tech innovator Ellen Petry Leanse distinguishes between a quick hit of dopamine vs. the lasting fulfillment of serotonin. In her book “The Happiness Hack,” she says the domain of dopamine is ”associated with the chase of a desired object. Indulging urges, being distracted, or having just one more are generally dopaminespiked behaviors that don’t usually lead to lasting satisfaction.”

Serotonin, on the other had, is associated with alignment to a larger purpose and more longterm accomplishments.

Serotonin, says Leanse, “increases feelings of worthiness, belonging and self-esteem.”

Said another way,

three predictable problems: 1. Transactional relationships. Just as dopamine causes you to turn away from loved ones in favor of your phone, it prompts employees to turn away from customers and each other in pursuit of self-gain.

AUBURN Mill Creek supporters plan Run the Creek 5K Supporters of Mill Creek cluster schools can sign up for the Run the Creek 5K and Fun Run. The 5K will begin at 8 a.m. Feb. 24 at Little Mulberry Park, 3855 Fence Road in Auburn. The race will take place on the paved paths of the park. The Fun Run is scheduled to begin at 9 a.m.

Registration is $25 through Feb. 11 and $30 from Feb. 12 through the day of the race. Runners can register online at www. fundracers.org.

Participants are encouraged to dress in their Mill Creek spirit wear.

Proceeds from the race will be used by the Mill Creek Cluster Education Foundation to award grants next school year.

BARROW COUNTY Barrow Book Partnership collecting books for kids The Barrow Book Partnership is collecting gently used books for children during the month of February.

Books can be dropped off at American Pest Control, 83 N. Broad St. in Winder, or at the Barrow County Board of Education, 179 W. Athens St. in Winder. Those who donate will be entered into a raffle drawing.

The Barrow Book Partnership serves four main populations: children in the WIC program at the Barrow County Health Department, Barrow County School System Child Find children, Barrow County Pre-K Lottery registrants and Barrow County’s foster children. Children from birth through age 5 are given one age-appropriate book quarterly for a total of four a year to keep at home and are given the opportunity to sign up for a library card.

Research confirms brain size triples during the first three years of a child’s life, and by age 5, the child has acquired 90 percent of adult brain size. From infancy to age 5 the child’s learning foundation is established, so an enriched environment of talking, reading and positively interacting with children is crucial for their brain development, a news release stated.

I’ll be taking a pass on the Super Bowl Enjoy a moment of sunshine.

In Florida, even winter is packed full of moments of sunshine. With 825 miles of beaches, waterfront dining and exciting night life, the Sunshine State is your perfect escape.

Count me among the growing number of Americans who will not be tuning in to Sunday night’s Super Bowl. It will be the first I’ve missed since — well, I don’t remember ever missing one, despite a couple of close calls.

Like Super Bowl XXXIII between the Falcons and Broncos, which I watched in a police station.

It’s not what you think.

At the time, I was the men’s basketball coach at Alabama Southern, and the team bus broke down as we were driving back to Monroeville after a game in Huntsville.

I hitched a ride with a passing cop, ostensibly to call for another bus to come pick us up (which I did), but actually so I could watch the game.

Clearly, there are advantages to being the head coach.

There was also the Cowboys -Steelers rematch in 1979, when I was a senior in high school, which I almost missed because our TV was “on the fritz,” as my dad used to say. Fortunately, my buddy Ernie and I were invited to watch the game at the home of two very cute sisters. And watch the game we did. Mostly.

Anyway, my point is, I have multiple reasons for passing on this year’s

With all she’s disclosed publicly about him and his relatives, others in the family can’t believe he’s considering a reconciliation with her. Feuerstein and wife Dana Klein co-directed the story. Linda Lavin, Elliott Gould and David Walton also star.

pet of the week

530405-1

Each week the Gwinnett Daily Post will feature an animal available for adoption at the Georgia SPCA, which is located at 1175 Buford Highway, Suite 109, Suwanee, GA 30024.

The hours of operation are Mondays through Fridays 11 a.m. until 7 p.m., Saturdays 11 a.m. until 5 p.m., and Sundays 1 until 4 p.m. You can see the rest of the adoptable cats and dogs at www.georgiaspca.org.

Fuzzy Lumpkins is a big cuddle bug of a puppy.

Come in and meet this sweet 3-month-old girl today.

You know you want to, because, after all, she has to be great with a name like that.

She’s a medium-sized pup, which means she will probably top out at about 44 pounds when she is full grown. She would love to meet her forever family today.

Fuzzy has been spayed, disease-tested, given ageappropriate vaccinations, dewormed, and is up to date with flea/tick prevention. She has been microchipped, and she comes with 30 days of pet insurance.

If you are interested in seeing any of the pets up for adoption, visit the GA SPCA, located at 1175 Buford Highway, Suite 109, in Suwanee, or call at 678-7652726.
