Parks around Lanier reach capacity on busy Fourth

“It’s hard to imagine living somewhere you don’t feel safe. So hopefully, I can step forward and make them feel like they are at home …”

— Holly Erwin, neighbor of Ukrainian refugees Olga and Sergey Mulchenko

By Keith Farner keith.farner@gwinnettdailypost.com

BUFORD — As he watched the steady traffic flow into Lake Lanier for more than eight straight hours, Wayne Dodson had one word to describe boat, water and picnic-related Fourth of July activity: Chaos.

“It’s busier than MORE INSIDE Sandra Deal a bird dog,” said promotes water Wayne’s wife, safety campaign..11A Judy, who worked alongside him to take the $4 admission as revelers were anxious to get in the water.

By 8 a.m., the Dodsons reported 25 boats had come through their entrance, while the park reached capacity — 80 boats — by 10:30 a.m.

“The water is high, people want to have family reunions for some reason on the Fourth of July,” Judy said. “We’ve seen all kinds of boats, from what I call the Miami Vice boat, to fishing boats and canoes. It’s much busier than Memorial (Day) weekend.”

The Suwanee community has rallied around new neighbors Olga and Sergey Mulchenko, who left war-torn Ukraine less than two months ago with only two suitcases. Neighbors have donated furniture, home goods, gift cards and toys for 3-year-old Viktoria.

WELCOME TO YOUR NEW

HOME

By Camie Young

camie.young @gwinnettdailypost.com

It took three hours by car and then nearly a day by train to reach the airport and then another 24 hours to reach safety.

Leaving war-torn Ukraine, clutching the two suitcases that contained everything they would take to start a new life in America, Olga and Sergey Mulchenko comforted their 3-year-old daughter Viktoria the only way they knew how.

They told the girl they were on their way home.

More than a month later, the couple knows how true those words are.

As Viktoria plays with her cousin Sophie in her new playroom, the Mulchenkos sit with their new neighbors on a couch and chairs donated by people who are still practically strangers.

There are dishes in the cupboard of their new home, a bed for their little girl and even a painting, waiting to be hung on the wall.

Community comes together to support Ukrainian refugees

Thousands of miles from the home they left behind, the family is grateful for the kindness of their new neighbors, who have proven what community is about in Suwanee, Ga. Sergey Mulchenko has dreamed of living in the United States of America since he was a boy.

Watching his second cousin leave home before the Soviet Union broke apart, Mulchenko stayed in touch with Tatyana Zaychik, following her life in Boston, where she met her

husband Alec, also an immigrant, from the Belarus area of the former U.S.S.R. After “escaping the Communist regime” themselves, the couple, who now lives in Suwanee, wanted to help Mulchenko and his family, so they sponsored his petition to come to America.

After two years of paperwork, the process suddenly sped up when the streets of Ukraine became war zones earlier this year.

Officials hope ‘Cop cab’ curbs drunk driving

By Keith Farner keith.farner@gwinnettdailypost.com

Officials in Snellville are hoping a hybrid paint scheme resonates with motorists this summer as they think twice before drinking and driving.

A refurbished police car called the “Cop cab” has been placed around Snellville this summer as a visual reminder of a choice to make between a cab and a police car. The former police car is painted to look like a Snellville police car on the front half and a taxi cab on the back half.

City Councilman Bobby Howard said it’s designed to show the difference between the cost of a cab ride home, which is less than $100, and a driving under the influence

Young says farewell, tells readers to ‘keep voting’ Happy Independence Day weekend!

A couple of days ago, Gwinnettians celebrated the founding of this country, built on the principals of a democracy.

The Founding Fathers gave the people a lot of power to control their own government. And along with the executive, legislative and judicial branches, they worked to ensure the Fourth Estate had the freedom to help the people in casting an informed vote.

For more than a decade, I have helped to shed some light on the local political process, giving you some insight in which to exercise your right to vote, to build your own community. It

odds over taxes or when Snellville’s mayor took the council to court — we aired both sides.

And when Election Day came around, I hope the Daily Post was a help to you in choosing the personalities and paths that would determine the county’s future.

Just months into my tenure at my hometown newspaper, tragedy struck this country on Sept. 11,

2001, but the stories here have centered on resiliency and hope.

There have been floods and fires, ice storms, a collapsed billboard and a runaway bride, but along the way, the people of Gwinnett have been strong, generous and inspiring.

to a new chapter in my life, Gwinnett’s civic story will go on.

My colleagues and friends at the Daily Post will do a great job continuing the coverage of the county’s political characters and challenges. I know I leave you all in good stead.

In just a couple of weeks, voters will again take to the ballot box, and some key decisions will be left to the people.

So to you, my readers and sources, I ask you to keep reading and keep voting. My home county will be in your care, and my thoughts and prayers will remain in Gwinnett.

May the Fourth Estate be with you.

For Ted Bailey, a veteran of the Korean War, the parade makes him swell with pride, especially as he remembers friends he lost in battle.

“I think back to my friends that didn’t make it out,” he said. “I know they would want to see celebrations going on because they fought for our right to be free.

“There’s an old saying, ‘All gave some, some gave all,’ and I salute them for all they sacrificed.”

Henry Baldwin, pastor at Holy Cross Anglican Church, gave the invocation to open the parade and enjoyed the festivities afterward.

“This is one of the key celebrations our country

has each year,” he said.

“Independence Day is a call to remember those who sacrificed for our freedoms. We have so many differences in our country and this is a day to celebrate those differences, because that is what makes our country so great.”

Curry said that he hopes by putting on events like this, the next generation will understand what true sacrifice is and instill in them what the cost of freedom is.

“In 20 to 30 years, these kids will be leading our country,” Curry said.

“Events like these show them how blessed we are as a nation and that we should never take our freedoms for granted.”

Water Resources starts internship program

By Emily Clance Staff Intern

Fifteen students from seven southern colleges are participating in a new summer internship program from the Gwinnett County Department of Water Resources to gain real world experience in the water utility industry.

The interns work fulltime and participate in various roles such as water production and reclaimation, water quality monitor-

GOLD

ing, infrastructure mapping, and engineering and construction.

“After starting the internship, I feel like I have already learned a tremendous amount of interesting information. I am really excited be a part of this great opportunity,” said Danielle Buice, a senior biology major at Georgia Gwinnett College.

Other students in the program attend the University of Georgia, Georgia State University, Georgia Tech, Southern Polytechnic State University, University of West Georgia and Duke

University.

The county will launch another program for the upcoming school year, a co-op with Southern Polytechnic State University and Georgia Tech, that will train engineering students for careers in water resources as they complete their degrees.

The Georgia Association of Water Professionals is also working with public utilities to reach students interested in careers in the water industry and as a result has created an outreach program called H2Opportunity.

“As interest in environmentally focused jobs

grows, we want to make students aware that the field of water resources offers a career that makes a difference,” said Water Resources Director Ron Seibenhener.

“Water industry professionals are directly involved in protecting and preserving the health of their local community and the environment.”

Students interested in participating in the co-op program may apply through their school’s career center, and those interested in H2Opportunity can find more information at www. h2opportunity.net.

Without this tentative tax increase, the millage rate will be no more than 4.512 mills. The proposed tax increase for a home with a fair market value of $150,000 is approximately $23.00.

The City of Snellville today announces its intention to increase the property taxes it will levy this year by 8.60 percentage over the rollback millage rate.

197952-1

The City tax millage rate is actually staying the same as last fiscal year, but growth in the 2014 city property tax digest necessitates this process.

When the total digest of taxable property is prepared, Georgia law requires that a rollback millage rate must be computed that will produce the same total revenue on the current year’s digest that last year’s millage rate would have produced had no reassessments occurred.

The budget tentatively adopted by the City of Snellville requires a millage rate higher than the rollback millage rate, therefore, before the City of Snellville may set a final millage rate, Georgia law requires three public hearings to be held to allow the public an opportunity to express their opinions on the increase.

All concerned citizens are invited to attend the public hearings on this tax increase to be held at Snellville City Hall, 2342 Oak Road, Snellville, Georgia on Monday, July 7, 2014 at 10:00 a.m., Monday, July 7, 2014 at 6:30 p.m. and on Monday, July 14, 2014 at 7:30 p.m. The final millage rate will be adopted on Monday, July 14, 2014 starting at 7:30 p.m.

Smoke alarm helps family escape blaze

By Chris Stephens Staff Correspondent

LAWRENCEVILLE — A three-person family is safe after a smoke alarm alerted them to a fire in their house on the 700 block of Berryman Place early Saturday morning.

According to a Gwinnett County Fire Department press release, the family, two adults and one teenager, were sleeping at home at the time of the fire. They were alerted at the sound of the smoke alarm and found thick smoke inside of their garage around 3:40 a.m.

Gwinnett County deployed three fire engines and two ladder trucks, among other units, to the Firefighters battle a house fire early Saturday morning at a home off Berryman Place in scene where they deployed Lawrenceville.

This tentative increase will result in a millage rate of 7.40 mills, an increase of 0.50 mills. Without this tentative tax increase, the millage rate will be no more than 6.90 mills. The proposed tax increase for a home with a fair market value of $150,000 is approximately $25.00 and the proposed tax increase for non‐homestead property with a fair market value of $1,175,000 is approximately $235.00.

Between 2009 and 2013, the property tax digest declined cumulatively by nearly 20%. 2014 is the first time in many years that the tax digest is increasing in value. In setting the millage rate to support the budget, the Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners will not increase the total County M&O millage rate. Maintaining the total millage rate at the same level in 2014, by law, must be advertised as a tax increase due to the increase in property values cross the County. Taxpayers whose properties have not been assigned a higher value this year will see no change in their County tax bills.

PUBLIC NOTICE - TAX INCREASE

Every few years, the Gwinnett County Tax Assessor is required to review the assessed value of property in the county. When the trend prices of properties which have recently sold in the county indicate there has been a change in the fair market value of such property, the Tax Assessor may adjust the value of real property located in Gwinnett County. This process is known as a property reassessment.

The Lilburn City Council has carried out a deliberate strategy over the last several years to keep city taxes low without negatively impacting the quality of the city services provided to it’s citizens. The Mayor and Council are quite aware of the depressed economy, and are committed to providing superior municipal services. In previous years, the Council opted to not “roll-up” the millage rate, as allowed by law, so that the citizens of Lilburn may benefit from a tax savings. By keeping the millage rate thesame this year, the City of Lilburn must advertise a tax increase.

The City of Lilburn has tentatively adopted a millage rate which will require an increase in property taxes by 4.2%.

All concerned citizens are invited to two public hearings on this tax increase to be held on July 3, 2014 at Lilburn City Hall at 10:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. Times and places of additional hearings on this increase are at Lilburn City Hall on July 10, 2014 at 6:00 p.m.. The tentative increase will result in a millage rate of .00445 mills, an increase of .00018 mills. Without this tentative increase, the millage rate will be no more than .000427 mills. The proposed tax increase for a home with a fair market value of $125,000 is approximately $8.10 and the proposed tax increase for a non-homesteaded property with a fair market value of $125,000 is approximately $9.00.

Ukraine retakes separatist stronghold

By Maria Tsvetkova Reuters

SLAVIANSK, Ukraine — Ukrainian forces routed pro-Russian rebels in a flashpoint area of eastern Ukraine on Saturday and raised the country’s blue and yellow flag again over what had for months been the separatist redoubt of Slaviansk.

A Reuters reporter saw a convoy of about 20 military transport vehicles and buses filled with armed rebels driving out of Kramatorsk where they had gone after apparently fleeing Slaviansk 12 miles to the north.

About 100-150 Ukrainian troops patrolled the center of Slaviansk and some soldiers were bringing out weapons and ammunition from one of the administration buildings the rebels had been using as a headquarters.

Shooting could be heard from the outskirts of the town which had served as a stronghold for rebel forces command, and one Ukrainian soldier said the city was not yet fully under government control.

About 30 off-duty police officers were providing security for the event, but they were standing on the perimeter of the arena, not inside where the shooting occurred, police said. No arrests have been made.

great tensions between the West and Russia. Moscow, which has already come under economic sanctions, denies Western accusations it has been backing the insurrection possibly with a view to dismembering the former Soviet republic.

Heletey said the Ukrainian flag had been hoisted over the main administrative building in Slaviansk, replacing the Russian white-bluered tricolor separatists had hoisted in early April when they seized key buildings in the city of 130,000.

Interior Minister Arsen Avakov said a large number of separatists had fled in the face of sustained fire from Ukrainian forces.

“A significant number of militants have left Slaviansk … along the way, our battle groups are greeting them.

They are suffering losses and surrendering,” he said in a statement on his Facebook page.

A source close to the rebels told Reuters they had been outnumbered by 50 to one. “(The Ukrainian forces) have greater numbers of troops and military hardware,” the source said, speaking on condition of anonymity.

The rebels acknowledged the loss.

“The direct cause of death was burns as a result of fire and its complications,” Mohammed Al-A’wewy was quoted as saying by the official Palestinian news agency Wafa late on Friday.

Israeli-Palestinian tensions have risen sharply since three Israeli teens were kidnapped on June 12 and later found dead in the occupied West Bank.

This was followed on Wednesday by the kidnapping of Mohammed Abu Khudair, 16, in his neighborhood in East Jerusalem.

His charred body was found hours later in a forest on the edge of the city.

Suicide bomber kills five outside Nigerian mosque MAIDUGURI, Nigeria — A suicide bomber targeting worshippers at a mosque in a remote village in northeast Nigeria killed five people and wounded dozens, a security source said on Saturday, in an area

where Islamist insurgents are mounting attacks almost daily.

The source, who declined to be named, said Muslims in the village of Konduga, in the northeasterly Borno state, were observing Friday prayers when the pick-up truck approached.

A local vigilante group stopped the truck to inspect it and the bomber then detonated the bomb a few meters away from the mosque, he said. There was no immediate claim of responsibility, but the Islamist group Boko Haram is likely to be the prime suspect.

“Given the disproportionate numerical superiority of the enemy troops, units of the armed forces of the Donetsk People’s Republic were forced to leave their previous positions on the northern sector of the front.”

But speaking to reporters on Saturday, Ghani explicitly denied he sought a coalition government.

PEOPLE Weinstein Co. sued over part in ‘Scary Movie 5’ LOS ANGELES — It’s been said that there are no small parts, only small actors. But sometimes those small actors can create some pretty big legal headaches.

The Weinstein Company has been hit with a lawsuit by a man who claims he paid $100,000 for a bit part in “Scary Movie 5,” only to be robbed of his moment in the spotlight.

In the lawsuit, filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court on Monday, Michael Trigg claims that he agreed to pay $100,000 to the website Charitybuzz in exchange for a speaking role consisting of “a few lines” in the film “Scary Movie 5,” in addition to a one-on-one meeting with Harvey Weinstein. The money, according to Trigg, would go to the La Jolla Playhouse.

However, Trigg claims, the agreement quickly fell apart. When he received the portion of the script containing his part — the presumably much-sought role of “FedEx Guy” — the role had a single word, “Package.” And an agreement sent to Trigg to sign noted that the part was not guaranteed to make the final cut of the movie.

Eventually, the lawsuit says, Trigg negotiated with Charitybuzz that he would receive a $40,000 refund if his part was cut from the film, and he received an assurance that his part would be “at least a full sentence in length.”

McCarthy had a $9K jet ski fiasco during filming

NEW YORK — “Tammy” star Melissa McCarthy divulged to Chelsea Handler Wednesday that her jet ski stunts in the film had a very costly snafu.

“We weren’t actually shooting yet, we were just doing a test,” McCarthy said.

“It’s hard to shoot on water because everything’s moving … so we did a test and I’m like, ‘Isn’t it a great idea if I’m in full wig and costume?

Because if we shoot some stuff, maybe it’s usable.’”

McCarthy’s proposal turned out to be a huge mistake, as she told the tale of a massive wipe out on her sea-doo.

“I’m like, ‘I’m kind of amazing at this,’ because I’m really a couple steps ahead,” she said. “I don’t really know how to ride a jet ski — I’ve never been on one before.

The stunt coordinator is telling me, ‘give it a little more gas,’ and he said at the end, ‘really dig into the curve.’

And I flipped that thing at 45 miles an hour. I don’t remember ever leaving it. All of a sudden, I literally was like, ‘I’m in water.’ I didn’t know if I was up or down and I thought, ‘Holy God, I’ve got that wig on!’”

McCarthy said the wig cost $9,000 and she quickly combed the water to see if it would float back up.

“Everybody was freaking out because I hit so hard and I was like, ‘But at least we got it!’ and they’re like, ‘The cameras weren’t on!’” she said.

The curse of judicial minimalism WASHINGTON — Even when Supreme Court decisions are unanimous, the justices can be fiercely divided about fundamental matters, as was demonstrated by two 9-0 rulings last week. One overturned a Massachusetts law restricting speech near abortion clinics. The other invalidated recess appointments that President Obama made when the Senate said it was not in recess. In the first, four justices who concurred in the result rejected the majority’s reasoning because it minimized the law’s constitutional offense. In the second, four justices who concurred with the court’s judgment that Obama had exceeded his powers argued that the George majority’s reasoning validated Will the Senate’s long complicity in practices that augment presidential power by diminishing the Senate’s power to advise and consent to presidential nominations.

A provision of Massachusetts’ law stipulated 35-foot zones around abortion clinics, from which spaces people wanting to engage in sidewalk counseling — urging women to forgo abortions — would be excluded. Another provision that makes it a criminal offense if someone “knowingly obstructs, detains, hinders, impedes or blocks” persons approaching abortion clinics raises no First Amendment problems. The challenged provision, however, proscribes persuasion in a public place, speech which unwilling listeners can walk away from.

The court unanimously held that the state may not protect persons seeking abortions from peaceful attempts to change their minds. But Chief Justice John Roberts, practicing judicial minimalism, argued only that the Massachusetts law was unnecessarily broad for protecting public order. Roberts wrote that the buffer zone — a euphemism for a no-speech zone — is “content neutral” because it does not discriminate against a particular point of view. This nonsense may have been necessary for preserving unanimity with the more liberal justices — Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Stephen Breyer, Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan.

Justice Antonin Scalia, however, in a concurrence that was 95 percent dissent, called Massachusetts’ law “unconstitutional root and branch” because, far from being content neutral, it pertains only to abortion clinics, it predictably will restrict only persons speaking against what the clinics do, and it restricts them in places — public sidewalks — where free speech is protected. Justices Anthony Kennedy and Clarence Thomas joined Scalia’s concurrence and Justice Samuel Alito wrote a similar one.

The second 9-0 decision rebuked Obama for one of his anti-constitutional excesses. But that foreordained result was less important than the peculiar reasoning that perhaps was necessary to make unanimity possible.

A Washington state business, having received an adverse ruling from the National Labor Relations Board, argued that the board had an illegitimate quorum. Obama had made recess appointments to the board when the Senate was holding (as it has done with the consent of both parties) pro forma meetings — and conducting some business — every three days to establish that it was not in recess.

Obama, with his characteristic constitutional crudeness, is the first president to assert that he can declare the Senate in recess during three-day sessions, which the Constitution stipulates is the maximum time the Senate can adjourn without the House’s consent.

The Recess Appointments Clause says: “The president shall have power to fill up all vacancies that may happen during the recess of the Senate.” Note the words “happen” and “the” — the definite article — before “recess.” Nevertheless, for much of the nation’s life, presidents have been making, without strenuous Senate objections, intra-session as well as inter-session recess appointments to fill vacancies that did not occur during the recess.

The court did not quite rule that tradition validates departures from the Constitution’s text. But neither did it say, as it should have, that even long-standing practices should end when they are deemed to conflict with an unambiguous text. Instead, Breyer practiced a perverse form of judicial restraint, decreeing that a recess of less than 10 days is “presumptively” too short for recess appointments. In another dissentas-concurrence, Scalia, joined by Roberts, Thomas and Alito, noted that Breyer’s presumption leaves presidents with much more latitude than the Constitution’s text stipulates.

Unanimity is not only spurious, it is injurious when purchased at the price of compromises that suggest disingenuousness. The Constitution’s purposes and architecture were sacrificed twice to produce 9-0 decisions. One denied the obvious — that Massachusetts’ law was written to impede anti-abortion speech.

The other flinched from the fact that the Recess Appointments Clause requires judicial enforcement, not Breyer’s judicial embroidery to allow continuation of behavior that both elected branches under both parties have found convenient. Two conservative priorities, defending freedom of speech and curtailing arbitrary exercises of presidential power, were undermined by judicial minimalism — aka judicial restraint — that conservatives praise more frequently than thoughtfully.

Reminder of public hearings for Gwinnett County millage rate The Board of Commissioners will vote on setting the county’s millage rate on July 15, but prior to that residents will have a chance to give their input during three public hearings that will be held before the vote.

With the first hearings happening on Monday, we thought it was worth a reminder, especially after a holiday weekend.

Chairwoman Charlotte Nash says a consensus has

not been reached yet as to what the commissioners will do concerning the millage rate.

Said Nash: “We still have some work to do among ourselves as to what we actually adopt.”

The hearings will be held at the Gwinnett Justice and Administration Center in Lawrenceville, beginning with the two on Monday. Those will be held at 11 a.m. and 6:30 p.m., with a third hear-

ing set for 6:30 p.m. on Monday, July 14. Written comments will also be accepted online at www. gwinnettcounty.com.

The current millage rate is 13.75 mils for those who live in unincorporated Gwinnett, but because property values have improved this year due to an improved economy, individual tax bills would be higher even if the millage rate remains the same.

For those who want to learn more and to give their input, the public hearings on July 7 and July 14 will offer that chance.

Help on the way for dealing with humor impaired The things you learn while surfing the Internet in desperation for column material. Did you know that there is a National Association for the HumorImpaired? May Jimmy Carter (speaking of the humor-impaired) wash my socks if I am not telling the truth.

According to their website the organization’s CEO, Stuart Robertshaw, is a professor emeritus of psychology and education at the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse as well as an attorney, (speaking again of the humor-impaired.)

I find it a bit unusual that the National Association for the HumorImpaired is headquartered in Wisconsin. Wisconsin is north of the Mason-Dixon Line, which is where a lot of Yankees reside. Yankees are known for many things. A sense of humor is not one that comes im-

I am curious to know what kind of research Robertshaw did and Dick whether or not he included Yarbrough Georgia in his survey.

Probably not. I don’t think mediately to mind. I think people in La Crosse know that is because they live in much about us down here a part of the world where and likely don’t care. it snows 10 months a year Of course, the same and all the buildings are holds true the other way. rusted.

consider me a resource in the future. I am an expert on the care and feeding of the humor-impaired. My columns seem to attract them like mud on a pig.

For example, I wrote recently that if by chance my life on earth didn’t qualify for heaven, I would gladly accept eternity at the University of Georgia, the oldest state-chartered university in the nation, located in Athens, the Classic City of the South as my second choice. That inspired several readers to respond with Bible verses about heaven and an inference that I might want to get my smartaleck act together while I still had time.

I thanked them and asked that since they seemed to be experts on the subject of heaven, would they mind going back and doublechecking to see if the

Bible might have made some mention of Athens, too. I thought that was funny. They didn’t. Some of them might have been Baptists. There isn’t much I say that Baptists find funny. I have half a mind to report them to Robertshaw.

I must be careful about getting into theological matters these days since our intrepid public servants in the Legislature —a virtual cornucopia of humor-impairment — passed a law last session that will allow God-fearing souls to enter houses of worship packing heat, assuming they aren’t too hung-over from toting their weapons to their favorite bar the night before.

A couple of Biblethumpers informed me that the Scriptures say Jesus would most certainly approve of carrying guns to church. I didn’t want to argue but when Jesus said,

“Blessed are the Peacemakers,” I don’t think he was referring to the Colt .45 single-action revolver.

Discovering that there is a National Association for the Humor-Impaired is great news and lets me know I am not alone in my efforts to minister to those whose sense of humor is only slightly smaller than a sand gnat. Stuart Robertshaw, aka, Humor, and I may come from different backgrounds — I wonder if he has heard of kudzu?

If not, I might send him a cutting and tell him it is one of our major agricultural exports — but we share a common dream: If through our collective efforts we could manage to turn even one frown upside down, what a wonderful world this would be. I get teary-eyed just thinking about it.

Fireworks mark our celebrations through the years at Newton Plaza shopping center in Covington.

There was an annual display — on the Fourth of July, naturally — and we wouldn’t have missed it for the world. Mama would pack snacks — forget the fact that we had probably been feasting on Tom Brown’s barbecue ribs and watermelon and my daddy’s hand-churned ice cream all day — and we would find a parking space and spread out quilts and visit with the rest of the county.

Truth be known, that was probably my favorite part of the experience because, although I enjoyed seeing the rockets’ red glare as much as the next person, the loud booms hurt my ears and I was

Darrell Huckaby always unnerved by the smoldering cinders that rained down upon us.

I think the most amazing display I have ever seen in the night sky was at the Atlanta Area Council BSA’s Bicentennial Encampment, on the grounds of Ft. Gillem, near Forest Park.

Thousands of Scouts and Scouters had crammed into a peanut warehouse

the day before, seeking shelter from a tornado that touched down right down the road. The Scout motto isn’t “Be Prepared” for nothing, though, and the show on Saturday night did, indeed, go on.

And what a show it was.

I don’t know who sponsored the display and I would hate to know how much it cost, even in 1976 dollars, but I know that we celebrated our nation’s 200th birthday in style. I was Scoutmaster of Troop 82 at the time and remember sitting next to a young man named Greg Gaddy.

We were both convinced that every volley had to be the grand finale — but for at least 40 minutes we were wrong.

That was almost 40

years ago and I remain amazed. Kudos to whoever was responsible.

For many years, back in the ’80s, I would make it a point to get Braves tickets on the Fourth and have enjoyed many celebrations at the old Launching Pad. I was there the time the Braves and Mets alternated playing baseball and waiting out the rain until 4 a.m.

Google “Rick Camp home run.” I wish I could say I was still there when the game ended, but my lovely wife, Lisa, was great with child and insisted that we leave at midnight.

We travel a lot now on the Fourth of July, and always try to get somewhere to see the fire-

Did you get to watch fireworks on the Fourth of July? I hope so. I love fireworks shows and have seen some dandy ones in my day — on Independence Day and at other times. Every day, of course, is the Fourth of July at Disney World and the parks there seem to compete to see which one can present the most spectacular display. Epcot has Illuminations and there is a show at Disney Studios that defies description, but I’ll still take Tinkerbell’s magic wand touching them off over Cinderella’s castle in the Magic Kingdom.

works. We are frequently at North Myrtle Beach and the private shows people put on on the beach are pretty amazing in and of themselves — and I can watch from my balcony and never get cinders in my eyes.

I don’t shoot them off myself, though. I don’t have my friend, Jeff Autry, around to take me to the hospital if a wayward bottle rocket explodes in my eye.

Yes. That happened, but that’s another story for another day. Right now I am just thankful to be an American and happy that the bombs bursting in air over us this weekend were self-imposed and harmless. Some folks aren’t so lucky, you know.

Refugees

•From Page 1A “Now it came true,” Zaychik said of Mulchenko’s American dream. “It’s amazing how it worked out.”

“It was really dangerous. They weren’t sure they would get out alive,” Zaychik said, translating Olga’s tale in Russian of fleeing the country with two suitcases, packed with just a couple of garments each and photos from the life they were leaving behind.

Just hours after the family boarded a plane, the airport in Kiev was locked down due to bomb threats.

But even in the air, the family did not relax. Not until they saw the only familiar faces for thousands of miles did they consider themselves safe.

The Zaychiks were prepared, having purchased a townhouse in the Stonecypher community to give the family a new home.

Alec reached out to the community’s homeowners association president to ask for permission to rent the home to his wife’s cousin,

•From Page 1A

and soon found that the Mulchenkos would be welcomed into the community.

“I thought, ‘People are so kind and so generous. They would want to know we have refugees living here,’” said Louise Goodman, the wife of Suwanee Councilman Dick Goodman, who reached out to neighbors to see if they would lend a hand.

Goodman put a basket outside her door, and

neighbors quickly filled it with gift cards, donating more than $500 for food and home supplies for the new family in town.

“The response was shocking to me. It was offered with open arms,” Zaychik said, adding that the community rallied, offering toys for Viktoria and furniture for the family.

A friend was able to offer Sergey a job, and he recently purchased a used car to get

While the family acclimates to America, living with the Zaychiks a few miles away until they are able to get a bed for themselves, the home has begun to fill, not just with essen-

tials but with friends.

“It was surprising,” Zaychik said, translating for Olga and Sergey, who talked over each other with excitement. “They were touched.

They still can’t believe all this was real.”

Jennifer Falk, who brought three shipments of goods from herself and other friends and neighbors, said she was inspired by the Mulchenkos as soon as she met them.

“It’s not difficult to help,” she said. “They are going to

be productive United States citizens, and I’m happy to have them as my neighbor. … I’m grateful they brought their child to safety and freedom.”

Holly Erwin, who lives around the corner, said that while communication has been difficult so far, she immediately connected with Olga and Sergey’s spirit.

“It’s hard to imagine living somewhere you don’t feel safe,” Erwin said. “So hopefully, I can step forward and make them feel like they are at home …

“This is such a great community,” she added of Stonecypher. “I think everyone wants to do what they can, any way they can.”

Zaychik, who had gone through the experience himself, said the hospitality for his family is just another proud moment in America.

“That shows what American people are,” he said of the generosity. “This is a country of immigrants. Their fathers and grandfathers had to go through the same thing, so it is a feeling of, ‘How can I help?’”

Weather, attractions draw crowd to Mall of Georgia

By Keith Farner

keith.farner @gwinnettdailypost.com

BUFORD — For the first time in recent memory, the Fabulous Fourth at the Mall of Georgia was the Dry Fourth — as rain was absent from the weather forecast — and under sun-splashed skies on Friday evening, thousands turned out for an event that’s developed into a tradition.

Parking spots were in high demand all day, but grew increasingly difficult to come by late in the afternoon when live music began within steps of several inflatables outside the mall’s food court. The 12th annual event was highlighted by fireworks at sundown, but also included an outdoor showing of the “The Hunger Games: Catching Fire,” which was shown on a 70-foot screen, nearly double the 45-foot screen which displayed last year’s movie.

As parking spaces became scarce, Cara Glenn of Dacula, her husband Derric and son Brandon worked to setup a tent next to their truck where they looked forward to cooking hot dogs later in the evening.

The Glenns have at-

tended the Fabulous Fourth for eight or nine years, and continue to return each year because it’s free, fun and close — less than five miles from home.

“We enjoy what they do here,” Cara said. “We figured spots would be hard to find, so we’re getting our spot taken care of before we enjoy some of the other stuff.”

This was the first year the Glenns used the tent.

In previous years, they camped in lawn chairs in

the back of their truck.

“Doing more and more every year,” she said with a laugh.

Mall of Georgia spokeswoman Carol Cox said she expected a fantastic turnout for the event in part because of the weather, which was breezy and cool.

The event time was moved from 2 to 5 p.m. this year, and there were twice as many vendors among the changes designed to increase the entertainment value.

“We’ve taken a lot of steps to make things better and hopefully everybody will have a fun time,” she said.

Steve and Lesli Bryson of The Woody’s band, a Fleetwood Mac tribute band, have played the Fabulous Fourth for seven years, and have made it a tradition on their calendar each year. They play several events at the Mall of Georgia throughout the year, and said the Fourth of July crowd is loyal, even

during last year’s rain.

“I woke up singing, ‘It’s a Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood,’” Lesli said. “It’s absolutely a tradition for us and we hope it continues for years and

years.”

Added Steve, “We try to come out and do a lot of our energetic, happy songs to get the crowd fired up.

We try to do a patriotic job.”

Sandra Deal promotes water safety campaign ‘SPLASH’

By Keith Farner

keith.farner @gwinnettdailypost.com

In hopes of preventing deaths on pools and waterways around Georgia, First Lady Sandra Deal is promoting a campaign to encourage children

and families to develop a safety plan.

The program is called “SPLASH,” which stands for Supervision, Prevention, Look before you leap, Arms-length, Swim Lessons and Have a water safety plan. The Georgia Children’s Cabinet formed

a Water Safety Subcommittee to spread prevention awareness and encourage adoption of safety techniques. According to the Cabinet, there were 129 child drowning deaths from 2009 to 2012.

“If each family adopts and shares these tech-

niques, Georgia is one step closer to a safer state for its children and families,” Deal wrote in a letter to county commissioners.

Some tips the program encourages adults to be aware of are to have gates or fences around pools.

Drain covers should also be checked in pools and hot tubs to see if they are broken or loose in order to prevent entrapment.

LAWRENCEVILLE — Another big night at the plate from Todd Cunningham and Jose Constanza, plus another solid pitching performance proved to be a winning combination for the Gwinnett Braves for the second straight night.

Cunningham and Constanza combined for five hits and four RBIs, while Cody Martin and four relievers combined to scatter nine hits and strike out 14 visiting Durham Bulls in the G-Braves’ 5-2 victory before 5,138 fans Saturday at Coolray Field.

Cunningham went 2-for-3 with three RBIs, including a two-run triple during a decisive fourthinning rally, while Constanza had three hits, all of the infield variety.

Meanwhile, Cody Martin (6-6) gave up one run on six hits with nine strikeouts, one short of his season-high, and Atahualpa Severino got out of a ninth-inning jam as the G-Braves (42-47) pulled to within five games of the first-place Bulls (48-43) in the International League’s South Division.

“It keeps us in (the race),” Cunningham said after the G-Braves beat Durham for the second straight night to split the four-game home-andhome series. “That’s a huge part of it — just keep it close and at the end of the season, you don’t know what’s going to happen. It’s who gets hot late.”

Martin and Durham starter Enny Romero (310) both got out of trouble in each of the first three innings, though through different methods.

Martin primarily utilized the strikeout — five through the first three frames, including ending each inning with a fan to strand four Durham baserunners — while Romero induced double plays to end the Gwinnett second and third.

But both teams broke through in the fourth.

Jayson Nix’s RBI double scored Curt Casali to put the Bulls up 1-0 in the top of the inning before the G-Braves answered in the bottom half.

Joey Terdoslavich drew a lead-off walk and went to second when Brandon Boggs steered a single through the hole between third and shortstop.

Boggs’ hit extended his season-best hitting streak to 10 games.

After both runners advanced on a passed ball, Constanza sent a See G-BRAVES, Page 3B

Whitfield lured from DeKalb to coach, teach at South

By Christine Troyke christine.troyke@ gwinnettdailypost.com

SNELLVILLE — The opportunity to coach volleyball again had Eryn Whitfield leaving DeKalb County, where she’s been teaching for the last 12 years, for Gwinnett.

And her commute just got a lot shorter.

Whitfield was hired to take over the South Gwinnett volleyball program and teach social studies at the Snellville school. Already a Gwinnett resident, Whitfield won’t have to fight traffic over to Arabia Mountain High School in Lithonia.

“I’m extremely excited about the opportunity,”

Whitfield said.

Whitfield has been coaching since the day she started teaching, first with competitive cheerleading, then volleyball, swimming and gymnastics.

It’s been six years since Whitfield coached volleyball. Her last head coaching job was at Columbia and the team made it to the playoffs in her final season. Since then, Whitfield has been coaching gymnastics.

Now she’s looking forward to feeling the energy on the court that volleyball offers.

Whitfield brings with her a coaching philosophy she readily admits was stolen from her brother, a coach in California.

Argentina looked the more ambitious in the early stages and Higuain’s beautifully executed goal gave them a deserved lead.

They came close to a second in the 28th minute when Lionel Messi, who was a constant threat to the Belgium defense having set the tournament alight in the group stages, threaded a superb ball through for a galloping Di Maria.

However, the winger injured himself when his effort was blocked and was replaced by Enzo Perez a few minutes later.

Belgium were starting to enjoy more possession without really threatening before Messi flashed a free kick narrowly wide five minutes before the break.

Returning to the scene Reuters

of their opening match 5-1 mauling of title holders Spain, the Dutch were a world away from that rampant display in a slow first half, although they still looked the more likely of the two sides to score.

Probing at Costa Rica, their first chance came after 21 minutes when Van Persie was slipped in only to see his low, angled shot parried away by Navas, who again similarly denied Memphis Depay minutes later.

Navas, a hero in Costa Rica’s last 16 penalty shootout win over Greece, was again in fine form, tipping wide a curling 25 meter Sneijder free kick after 39 minutes.

It was easy to see why Costa Rica’s disciplined defense had conceded just twice in Brazil, and a Dutch side that started the match as the tournament’s top scorers, having rattled in 12 goals, were stumped for long periods after the interval, finally producing a late flurry.

Still, Crews acknowledges there may be some growing pains early, especially with an early schedule that sees the Broncos open with games against playoff quailfier Valdosta and two-time defending state champion Norcross before opening Region 8-AAAAAA play against archrival Parkview.

So, it will be up to the coaches and a small, but important group of returning starters like junior Jesse Brown in the backfield, seniors Nick Coker and Bailey Ivemeyer on the offensive line and seniors Chad Price, Chase Middleton and Rivion Johnson Jr. on defense to provide the leadership to help the youngsters progress.

Brown, in particular, could be the perfect example of how quickly the lesser-experienced players can make an impact.

knee injury in the opener against McEachern.

Crews says there were some adjustments for the younger Brown to make in the early game in his new role.

“The thing about Jesse is, last year, he was really just a baby,” Crews recalled. “He was a sophomore just hanging around and on the verge of being a starter in the secondary. … All of the sudden, he’s supposed to be the guy.

“When we played at Archer (in Week 3), Jesse broke off a 45- or 50yard run before he ran out of bounds around the (Archer) 20 (-yard line).

Now, we like to hurry up after a big play like that.

their heels. I look up, and Jesse wasn’t in the game.

He said he was tired and tapping on his helmet to come out. I said to him, ‘Jesse, you’re our tailback now. If you want to come out, get in the end zone.’

The next week, he carried the ball 43 times. I guess he figured it out.”

Indeed, Brown eventually figured things out by running for 1,439 yards and 13 TDs to play a major role in the Broncos advancing to the secondround of the state playoffs for the eighth time in the last nine years, and making him Gwinnett’s thirdleading returning rusher this season.

He figures to have some help this year, with sophomore converted

quarterback Leonard Warner being one of the promising young Bronco youngsters.

However, he will be counted on to combine with the other upperclassmen to set enough of an example to help the younger group grow up as quickly as possible.

Crews says there is precedent in his tenure at Brookwood for such a blend taking place.

“He’s a lot like Josh in terms of his leadership skills and the example he sets,” Crews said of Brown. “He is a great example for the kids. He understands that just being talented doesn’t make you a great football player.

Execution is what makes a great football team.

“We’ve had some really good years (with a large number of younger players). … Some of our best years have been when we had a few experienced players or a good group of seniors, and then a really good bunch coming up behind them in terms of talent. It kind of worked out that way in 2002 and again in 2005 (both state runner-up finishes). We had a good mix, and hopefully it can work out that way again (this year).”

McGee saw her own two daughters grow up in the Timber Ridge program and eventually coach with her when the team moved to Daniel Park.

McGee has also coached at two high schools in Gwinnett, first at Collins Hill and most recently from 2008-11 at Greater Atlanta Christian.

“I didn’t swim much when I was coaching and teaching at GAC,” McGee said. “But I’ve always been in the pool. I just feel better when I swim.”

McGee is a good example of perseverance for those she teaches, and not just because of a longevity which has already allowed her to set U.S. Masters Swimming top 10 times in three age groups.

When McGee was 41, she had shoulder surgery.

“The doctor told me I’d never be able to swim or compete again like I

used to,” McGee said.

“So it was really exciting to be able to get back to it when I was 44 and swim almost my lifetime best times in the 100 free.

He did a good job on my shoulder.”

He just underestimated McGee’s ability to recover and desire to compete.

“It was rough, don’t get me wrong,” she said. “I had to go through lots of physical therapy.”

Hardly more than a year after the surgery, the FINA Masters world rankings had McGee listed No. 5 in the 100 free and 10th in the 50 free.

The next year, McGee was a USMS national champion in the 100 free with a time of 54.26.

Now she’s bound for the World Championships in Montreal and there’s no chance this is the last hurrah for McGee. “It’s really inspiring to go to these meets because you get to see a 91-yearold lady swimming,” she said. “I want that to be me some day.”

‘Time to move on’

LAWRENCEVILLE — If she were 20 years younger, Gloria Still could, and would, do a lot.

Things could be rebuilt and remodeled and rejuvenated. Still Lake Nursery, the beloved Lawrenceville business she started with her husband more than four decades ago, could blossom again.

Gloria Still, though, is not 20 years younger. She’s aged with the rest of us, and the rest of it.

The time to move on has come.

Titles are merely suggestions.

Everyone does everything.

“It’s amazing what God has sent into our lives and all the people we’ve been able to meet,” says greenhouse manager Carol Shannon, who has worked at Still Lake for 17 years.

Garry Still, who lost both of his legs due to complications from a blood clot, was working the day he died.

“It has been a wonderful life here,” his widow says. “It really has.”

Moving on When the recession hit, Still Lake wilted. Flowers and gardening are very much a luxury items, and a huge chunk of the nursery’s landscaping accounts disappeared.

Gloria Still and her staff persisted for several years, but a huge chunk of their clientele was lost. A generation of young adults and first-time homeowners did without or went to big-box stores.

“I think we’ve done good for a lot of years,” Ken Still, Gloria’s son, says. “It’s just time to move on and do something different.”

For years, Gloria Still has toted flowers along with her to various appointments — getting her hair done, dropping her grandson off at school, swinging by the post office. Now she’ll do other things.

The long-ago cow pasture will eventually be sold and she’ll spend time with family, travel a little and See CLOSING, Page 2C

were beautiful players, with skills that were lovely to behold. You felt like you learned something every time you watched them— and whether in the gym or on the asphalt, players were constantly trying to imitate them.

James is something else.

He is, quite simply, a force of nature. Watching him take over a game is like watching a tsunami come ashore.

And you have about as much chance of imitating him as you do of imitating a lightning bolt.

Which is not to say that he has surpassed Jordan as the greatest player ever. He

hasn’t. I’m not even sure he’s moved past Bird, Magic, or Kobe — yet. How high he eventually rises on the list of all-time greats will probably depend, in large part, on how many championships he eventually wins.

It will also depend on how he adjusts his game as his physical skills wane, which they inevitably will. Even the tsunami eventually recedes.

Jordan’s greatness, I believe, lay in the fact that he went from a high-flying slam-dunker early in his career to a fade-away jump-shooter toward the end — and averaged 30 ppg both ways. That would be

like Nolan Ryan suddenly becoming Greg Maddux and still winning 20 games.

Whether or not LeBron can make that same transition remains to be seen.

But in the meantime, what we can see—in flashes, at least—looks a lot like an overgrown adult dominating a bunch of little kids on an 8-foot goal.

Gwinnett commemorates freedom every day, not just during holidays I am moved by all the flags I see displayed this weekend to acknowledge our freedom and those who fought for it. But even more, I am touched by the permanent veterans memorials we have throughout Gwinnett County.

Gwinnett proudly displays two Blue Star Memorials, one at the rest area at the intersection of Interstate 85 and I-985 and and one in Lilburn, which was placed by the Ladybug Garden Club.

The Snellville Veterans Memorial displays bricks and tiles in honor and in memory of those who fought for our freedom and on Memorial Day they relit the eternal flame which is a constant reminder of of the liberty our founding fathers intended for us to have.

At the Gwinnett Justice and Administrative Center the Fallen Heroes Memorial pays tribute to all Gwinnett residents who died in the line of duty or public safety service. Over 700 names are carved on 13 nine-foot-high black granite markers. All are worth a few minutes for visiting and paying respects.

But if you have an hour or so, a visit to the Veterans Memorial Museum at the

Susan Larson Gwinnett Historic Courthouse is well worth the time.

Director Paul Pickard (retired Air Force) is one of about 20 volunteers who work there to keep our history and appreciation of freedom alive.

When they renovated the old courthouse, they set aside a small area to display a few Civil War relics they had sitting around. In 2005, Pickard, along with a group of veterans from American Legion Post 232 in Snellville, asked if they could work on improving the display.

As soon as word got out, donations started pouring in.

People went through their attics and provided over 60 military uniforms plus 900 pieces of war memorabilia.

The museum has grown to four rooms packed with military items, including a document of Japan’s declaration of war on the United States

VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITY OF THE WEEK

and Great Britain, a phone used by John “Black Jack” Pershing during WWI and a flag that flew over a pup tent at Wheeler Army Airfield on Pearl Harbor Day. And then there’s the Japanese hand grenade — well, you have to visit and hear that story from a docent.

One of the museum’s most treasured items is “Unforgettable Faces,” a book of pencil drawings and biographical sketches of POWs and MIAs in Southeast Asia,

by Shary Aument. Catherine Calhoun of Lilburn found the book in a Goodwill Store and donated it. It sits in a case next to the poem, “What is a Vet,” by Father Denis Edward O’Brien/USMC, donated by retired Marine Buddy Wilkins. Another display highlights stories of the Tuskegee Airmen.

More military memorabilia, monetary offerings and volunteer time are always welcome.

The museum is open Monday through Saturday and admission (may I inject a little symbolism here?) is free.

Watching LeBron James play in the recent NBA playoffs reminded me of myself.

OK, maybe I ought to clarify that last statement a little bit. It reminded of myself when I was about 25, playing on an eight-foot goal in my brother-in-law’s driveway, going one-on-three against my nephews, ages 7, 10, and 12.

We’re talking TOTAL domination.

That’s what it’s like watching LeBron sometimes. The phrase “man among boys” may be overused—but not when applied to the fourtime MVP. At certain times in any given game, that’s ex-

Teachers travel to STEM Summer Immersion Program Several Gwinnett teachers recently participated in a new summer program to learn more about activities in science, technology, engineering and math subjects.

The Gwinnett Environmental and Heritage Center funded a STEM Summer Immersion Program where the teachers, along with some teachers from DeKalb County, traveled to Texas for the program to participate in intensive, hands-on activities that will be replicated in Gwinnett classrooms.

During their week-long The GEHC Foundation visit, teachers profiled

dunes, dug for invertebrates, analyzed marine debris, learned about the impact of plastic on the marine environment, collected and processed plankton samples, studied adaptations and food webs and collected and examined salt marsh plants.

Participating educators included Angie Curtis from Arcado Elementary, Jane DuBose from Brookwood Elementary, Beth Feustel from Peachtree Ridge High, Jeff Holmes from Norton Elementary, Melisa Jeffers from Riverside Elementary, Amy Maxwell from

Peachtree Ridge High, Katie McClure from Brookwood Elementary, Christy Shelton from Dunwoody Elementary and Fuquan Warren from Stripling Elementary. Others accompanying the group included West, Gayle Adkinson, education liaison at the GEHC, and Gale Hey, trustee of the GEHC Foundation.

“The activities I completed during this program can be adapted to fit into my classroom, making learning more hands-on and fun for the students,” Holmes said. “Being a third-grade

teacher, I will definitely implement the pollution collection and graphing we completed with my class.

I also plan on using the pictures and videos to reinforce the coastal and ocean habitats that many of my students don’t get a chance to see firsthand. I’m truly thankful for the opportunity I was given and hope to pass it on to my students for many years to come.”

Giving everyone a trophy sets us up for failure Giving away meaningless trophies doesn’t inspire anyone to new heights of improved performance. Nor does it build self-esteem.

The token trophy movement that started in peewee soccer is having a chilling effect on the workplace.

As leadership coach, I routinely encounter leaders who don’t give enough positive feedback. This is a problem, and one I help leaders fix.

Yet there’s another, insidious, problem, that has an equally chilling effect on employee motivation — meaningless praise.

When you create an environment that doesn’t distinguish between poor

is important. Whether you’re 5 or 55, we all appreciate, and benefit from, external validation. Good leaders and parents know building self-esteem is critical.

Yet I am increasingly finding that the “You’re So Special” movement has gone so overboard with Lisa McLeod meaningless praise that many people, particularly performance and outyoung people, have been standing performance, it’s cheated out of learning the akin to giving every kid concept of internal pride. a trophy. It’s appropriate We have millennials in if the team wins and it’s the workplace who now a group effort. But if you expect to be praised for throw meaningless group showing up on time. rewards in equal portion to The “special” movethe stars and the benchment started with good inwarmers, everyone knows tentions. Many of us were that it means nothing. raised by well-intended Positive reinforcement yet overly-critical parents.

Forget Perfect

They were often people who truly loved their children. But because of the way they were raised, or because they were afraid that praise would make their kids go soft, they tended to focus on the negative. Asking why the A-minus wasn’t an A-plus, focusing on the strikeout instead of the winning score, and generally being very hard to please and stingy with the compliments.

We vowed to do better. The problem is, when you gush over mediocrity, there’s no way to distinguish truly outstanding.

People, be the employees or kids, aren’t stupid; they know it when you’re feeding them a line. And

they’re not wimps either.

Sitting with the sting of a loss isn’t the worst thing in the world. The pain of losing is often what inspires us to do better.

The challenge as a boss, or parent, is to master the duality of validating the inherent worth and dignity of the person AND giving them accurate feedback at the same time.

We often assume that we have to choose between praise or critique; but we don’t. Certainly most of us are smart enough to say, “You’re the best son any one could ask for AND your team didn’t do so well this season.”

We need to be able to tell people the truth, be they colleagues or kids.

Building self-esteem isn’t about pretending that people are winners at everything. It’s about providing people with the internal fortitude to rebound when they fail.

It’s about nurturing their souls and developing their character.

It’s about caring enough to say, “When I watch you run down the soccer field my heart bursts with love because I think you’re so special AND the other team won so they get to take home the trophy.”

Learning to live with new Southern Living

198437-1

A few years ago, the magazine I have long loved — Southern Living — changed. Like most Southerners, I have an aversion to change which is why our traditions have such a stranglehold.

We never let go.

Warily, I eyed it for the first couple of months. The layout changed, bringing a fresher, more modern feel while new features were added that included fashion and profiles yet retaining recipes, home décor and gardening advice. I was disappointed that the Book Section page that heralded new releases by Southern authors was dropped. Given the immediate choice, I would have begged them to return to what used to be. But it grew on me and now I savor it every month, particularly enjoying a feature called “Napkin Interview” which spotlights a Southern celebrity.

Around the same time that Birmingham-based Southern Living (the largest regional living magazine in the nation) changed, a new editor came aboard which would probably signaled that one had something to do with the other. His name is Lindsay Bierman. I was wary of him.

Another trait of Southerners long grown in the region is our wariness. We’re always a bit suspicious of strangers who pop up in our territory (Lindsay hails from the northern part of the South).

However, he won me over.

It happened gradually.

I read his monthly column, sharing his frustration as he searched at length for the perfect rug and his cautious excitement as he launched into building a weekend lake home. When he wrote his Top 10 decorating tips, I tore out the page and saved it.

Though unknown to him, Lindsay and I became friends. Then, recently, I became a fullfledged, unabashed fan.

He began his column by quoting Ralph Waldo Emerson, “To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment.”

I immediately thought of my pronounced Southern accent and how, over the years, some outsiders have said, “If you lost the accent, people would take you more seriously.” I dug my high heels in and drawled even slower.

My friend, Lindsay, wrote about our South-

Ronda Rich ern historic resistance to fitting in. “Amen!” I exclaimed though I was sitting on a plane westward bound. “Preach on, Brother Lindsay.”

“Now, more than ever,” he wrote, “we connect to our roots through a joy of cooking, a love of hospitality, a reverence for tradition, and a deep regional patriotism that can’t be diluted for mass consumption.

Down here, you can honor and live by our rules or move somewhere else — but please don’t mock or patronize us for them.”

Not only could I have not said it better, I couldn’t have said it near as well. I thought of my dear Tink. Yankee born and bred, and a Los Angeles citizen for three decades, he has claimed the South for his home. He signed up for the church’s prayer chain call tree, developed a taste for buttermilk biscuits, grits and collard greens as well as all other things Southern.

This is, he will quickly tell you, his beloved land.

“You should meet my friend, Lindsay,” I said to him one day after reading Lindsay’s monthly column.

“Lindsay?” he asked quizzically.

“Well, technically if you want to get right down to it, we’re not friends. We’ve never met.

But we’re neighbors in the strongest sense of the word. We think alike. We have the same mindset.”

Now, as I think back on it, I hate that I didn’t welcome Lindsay with open arms. I didn’t give him the full benefit of my Southern hospitality.

Instead, I acted like a typical Southerner. I was wary of a newcomer whose ideas were different.

He has now left the magazine and moved on to other things but while he was there, he certainly did the South mighty proud. Lindsay, thank you. I wish I had welcomed you from the start.

DULUTH Pavement preservation work has begun Maintaining roads that are already in good shape is the focus of a pavement preservation project that the city of Duluth started to emphasize the importance of early intervention to preserve the roads longterm. The city adopted the program in 2012, and officials said they’ve switched their mindset from repairing the worst roads first.

“Our goal is to not let roads fall below a certain (Pavement Condition Index) rating,” spokeswoman Alisa Williams said.

“To accomplish this, we must spend money on keeping the good roads good and not allowing them to fall into the fair or poor category, where we will have to spend more money to get them back to good. It is a proven fact that every dollar spent now on pavement preservation can save up to $6 in the future.”

This program is funded by the special purpose local option sales tax and a local maintenance and improvement grant.

SUWANEE Municipal court to add sessions this fall Based on feedback, Suwanee’s court will work to enhance suwanee.com, and beginning this the fall, the court will add two additional sessions each month and switch from evening hours to day sessions.

The additional sessions and new times are designed to make the municipal court even more accessible, allow people to do their business quicker and reduce crowd size. The court’s current space is so crowded that people sometimes have to wait outside and there’s no space for additional family members.

The daytime court schedule will begin Sept.

bestbets SUNDAY 9 p.m. on LIFE Witches of East End The portal to Asgard stands open as the bewitching and frequently campy supernatural dramedy returns for a second season, and darkness surrounds the town as a stranger (new series regular Christian Cooke) with ties to the Beauchamp family arrives in town.

With their mother dead, Killlian and Dash (Daniel DiTomasso, Eric Winter) recover their own warlock powers.

10 p.m. on CBS Unforgettable Why didn’t a boxing champ put up any defense against whoever beat him to death? Carrie and Al (Poppy Montgomery, Dylan Walsh) are perplexed by the question in the new episode “The Combination.”

The detectives delve into the victim’s past to determine why it apparently was made so easy for the killer. Jane Curtin and Dallas Roberts also star.

MONDAY 8 p.m. on CBS 2 Broke Girls

Dylan Walsh

It’s great to have a device that will help your business — unless you don’t know how to use it. Such is the dilemma facing Max and Caroline (Kat Dennings. Beth Behrs) in “And the Group Head.” The machine in question is a cappuccino maker. Once the ladies determine they’ll have to learn how to deploy it, they get jobs as coffee-house baristas to gain that education. Jennifer Coolidge, Garrett Morris and Matthew Moy also star.

Ken Leung

TUESDAY 10:01 p.m. on NBC The Night Shift Trying to reach and treat a plane-crash survivor, TC and Topher (Eoin Macken, Ken Leung) put their own lives in jeopardy in the new episode “Blood Brothers.” A lawman (guest star Steven Bauer) adds to the complications once the victim is brought to the ER. Paul (Robert Bailey, Jr.) tends to an exotic dancer who took a fall, and her worsening condition brings Jordan (Jill Flint) into the case. TC remains haunted by his brother’s death in Afghanistan.

WEDNESDAY

THURSDAY

SATURDAY

8 p.m. on CW iHeartRadio Ultimate Pool Party Indeed, it is the season for pool parties — including this musically inclined one. Nick Cannon presides at the Fontainebleau Miami Beach as Jennifer Lopez, Ariana Grande and Neon Trees are among this new special’s performers. The CW also uses the occasion to promote one of its new fall series, since actresses Gina Rodriguez and Andrea Navedo of the forthcoming “Jane the Virgin” are on hand as well.

9 p.m. on CBS Extant Halle Berry began her acting career in series television, in the sitcom “Living Dolls,” and the Oscar winner returns to it in a much different way. This new sci-fi-thriller casts her as an astronaut who returns to Earth after a year alone in space. If that was the case, how did she come back pregnant? Goran Visnjic, Camryn Manheim, Grace Gummer and young Pierce Gagnon also star.

8 p.m. on ABC Black Box Believing he’s already dead, a patient submits to tests in the new episode “I Shall Be Released.” Several doctors fail to diagnose a young woman’s apparent meningitis correctly.

Catherine (Kelly Reilly) comes forth with surprising honesty after Will (David Ajala) accuses her of keeping information from him. Esme (Siobhan Williams) learns more than expected by taking a job at Will’s restaurant.

Rachel Brosnahan (“The Blacklist”) guest stars.

8 a.m. on NBC 2014 Tour de France Stage 8 brings the riders through varied terrain as “Le Tour” winds its way through the countryside of eastern France. Breakaway artists will certainly have the advantage on an 80-mile flat stretch that opens the stage, while the climbers should come to the fore in the Vosges Mountains, where grades of 10 to 15 percent are not uncommon.

The field for this year’s race includes Nairo Quintana, Alberto Contador and defending champion Chris Froome.

FRIDAY 9 p.m. on TNT Cold Justice In the new episode ’Kirby’s Speed Shop (Columbus, OH),” ex-prosecutor Kelly Siegler and former crime-scene investigator Yolanda McClary head to Columbus, Ga., for their latest cold case, sifting through evidence they hope may point them toward the identity of the person who double-crossed a popular local auto mechanic, who was fatally shot in his own shop.
