Georgia Supreme Court ruling on how juries are to be chosen, which Gwinnett County officials were unaware had been changed until recently, said Gwinnett County District Attorney Danny Porter.

“When we were look-

ing at the Robert Bell case, which is a death penalty case, there was a pending challenge to the grand jury that indicted him,” Porter said. “When we looked at the way grand jury was chosen back in 2013 and 2014, we found that there was

a possibility that there was an irregularity, so rather than take risk, we re-indicted Bell and reindicted Tiffany Moss.”

That irregularity came from a 2010 Georgia Supreme Court rule that dictated how juries were to be chosen, which Gwinnett officials had been

To the casual observer, it might seem as if Snellville youth Noah Ruppel and his brother, Elijah, like to aim high.

That wouldn’t be an incorrect statement.

The brothers — Noah is 12 and Elijah is 9 — stayed at the LegoLand Discovery Center Atlanta table for awhile during the Daily Post’s All About Kids Expo at the Gwinnett County Fairgrounds in Lawrenceville on Saturday.

Then they took it apart and started over from scratch.

Eventually, their tower was nearly 6 feet tall and had to be moved from the table to the floor so the brothers could reach the top of it.

“I’m just trying to build a really tall tower; I don’t know what I’m aiming for yet,” Noah Ruppel said about halfway through his building project. “I just like really tall things. It’s really hard to build really fast and that’s what I like about it.”

GGC’s founding president to speak at May commencement FROM STAFF REPORTS Daniel J. Kaufman, founding president of Georgia Gwinnett College, will be the keynote speaker for the college’s spring commencement.

“We are delighted to welcome Dr. Kaufman back to campus to commemorate GGC’s incredible growth 10 years after its first commencement, over which he presided,” GCC current president Dr. Stas Preczewski said. “In spring 2008, 17 students walked across the stage. This spring alone, more than 500 graduates will follow in their footsteps.”

Kaufman served as president of GGC from 2005-13 when he became president and chief executive officer of the Gwinnett Chamber of Commerce.

Kaufman is responsible for all chamber programs as well as for being an advocate for regional strategic initiatives for a more competitive economy and an enhanced quality of life in Gwinnett County and the metropolitan Atlanta region.

Dan Kaufman, the founding president, stands in front of the library at Georgia Gwinnett College. On Friday, the school held a dedication ceremony for the Daniel J. Kauman Library and Learning Center.

(Special Photo)

In addition to his responsibilities at the Chamber, Kaufman is a member of the board of directors of a number of civic and philanthropic organizations including the Georgia Chamber of Commerce, Explore Gwinnett, the Council for Quality Growth, Gwinnett Clean and Beautiful, the Mitsubishi Electric Championship Foundation, the Gwinnett Coalition for Health and Human Services, the Gwinnett Medical Center Foundation, the Regional Business Coalition and the Aurora Theatre in Lawrenceville.

For the past three years, Kaufman has been named

by Georgia Trend magazine as one of the 100 Most Influential Georgians. The Atlanta Business Chronicle also designated him as one of the 100 Most Influential Atlantans.

Before serving as president of GGC, Kaufman was a brigadier general in the U.S. Army, serving as dean of the Academic Board and chief academic officer at the United States Military Academy at West Point.

In 2017, Kaufman was selected as a distinguished graduate by that institution.

The ceremony will be held at 9 a.m. May 17 on the college’s main lawn.

What Dems can learn from Macron WASHINGTON — Emmanuel Macron and President Trump don’t agree on much.

Macron is a globalist; Trump is a nationalist.

Macron is a free-trader; Trump just imposed protectionist tariffs on steel and aluminum.

Macron wants the United States to remain in Syria; Trump wants to get out. Macron wants to preserve the Iran nuclear deal; Trump wants to scrap it. Macron wants the United States to rejoin the Paris climate deal; Trump withdrew from the accord.

And yet there they were, the French and American presidents air-kissing on the White House portico, clasping hands at the podium of a joint news conference, clutching arms as they walked down the colonnade and clinked glasses at the first state dinMarc ner of the Trump Thiessen presidency.

“He is perfect,” Trump declared of Macron (after brushing what he said was dandruff off of the French leader’s suit). The displays of amity have left Washington and Paris agog at le bromance.

How can two men so diametrically opposed get along so well? Simple. Macron holds his ground on issues that matter to him, but he treats the president of the United States with respect, not contempt — and has found his respect reciprocated.

Democrats in Washington should try it.

In a toast at the state dinner, Macron explained his approach this way: “We both know that none of us easily changes our minds, but we will work together, and we have this ability to listen to one another.”

Wouldn’t it be refreshing to hear Senate Minority Leader Charles E. Schumer, D-N.Y., or House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., say the same? At the end of his visit, Macron was asked how he could have such a warm relationship with Trump while disagreeing with him on so many issues. “It’s the same thing in all families,” he said. “Let’s share the disagreements. … To just say ‘I disagree and I don’t want to speak with you’ (is) ridiculous.”

Yes, it is.

After Macron delivered an address to Congress in which he warned against the dangers of “isolationism, withdrawal and nationalism,” many suggested that his speech was a “rebuke” to Trump. No, it wasn’t. Macron didn’t rebuke the president; he expressed respectful disagreement on a host of issues.

Too many in Washington can no longer tell the difference.

Instead of simply applauding Macron’s words, perhaps Democrats ought to emulate Macron’s actions. Today, the Democratic Party is no longer the opposition; it is the self-proclaimed “resistance” that considers its job to stop Trump from doing or accomplishing anything. Even in areas where both parties traditionally cooperate, such as the approval of qualified nominees, Trump’s candidates face near unified Democratic opposition. While cooperation on difficult issues such as tax cuts or Obamacare may be a bridge too far, Democrats are so blinded by their contempt for Trump that they cannot bring themselves to work with him on issues where they profess to agree, such as infrastructure or extending protections under the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program. These failures hurt the millions of ordinary people who depend on leaders in Washington to work together for the good of the country.

Macron’s visit has shown that it does not have to be this way; people can vigorously disagree and still find ways to work together. We have no way of knowing what, deep down, Macron really thinks of Trump.

Perhaps the warmth between them is genuine — modeled, as Macron suggested in his address to Congress, on how Lafayette and Washington “forged a tight relationship fueled by respect and affection.” Or perhaps Macron has chosen to behave with respect and decency for the good of France and the world, because he knows the stakes are too high to give in to contempt.

Democrats might want to do the same.

Here at home, there is no shortage of critical challenges Republicans and Democrats need to address — and the stakes are also too high to indulge feelings of contempt.

Perhaps it’s too much to expect a TrumpSchumer bromance — or Trump-Pelosi air kisses. But Macron’s visit should provide a lesson for Democrats: It’s amazing what you can accomplish when you treat the president of the United States with the respect and dignity his office deserves. To which I can only say: Vive la France!

These are complicated, confusing times We were traveling through the hinterlands of the Shenandoah Valley last weekend. I was trying to keep my personal group of pilgrims guessing where they would be going next. We had spent two days learning how the other half lives at The Greenbrier — a resort near White Sulphur Springs, W. Va. There are two words you wouldn’t think about putting together in a sentence. Resort and West Virginia. Kind of like Huntsville, Ala., and rocket scientist. It’s a great country, isn’t it?

The Greenbrier is a heck of a place. They have a new gold seal on the toilet paper every time you return to your room.

They also have the chandelier from Twelve Oaks and the chandelier from Tara displayed on their property — one in a dining room and one in a bar.

They didn’t get them from Scarlett O’Hara, however.

They purchased them from Debbie Reynolds, a one-time collector of movie memorabilia.

They also have the most beautiful décor of any hotel in which I have ever spent the night, or even visited. They also have a bunker big enough to house Congress in case of a nuclear attack, which is what it was built for. For 30 years the bunker lay there in secret, hidden practically in plain sight. During the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis while Randy Layson, Billy Wayne Hailey and I were being told to duck

of the homeless and the drug addicts who were loitering on benches near the memorial or passed out next to the sidewalks. I almost wished they would cover the statue again so these poor people’s lives would improve, and they and their peers would get off the welfare rolls and back to work.

My group and I got off our bus and had our picture made with Gen. Lee. Who knows? It might be our last chance.

The next day we found ourselves in Baltimore, at Ft. McHenry, helping take down a replica of the flag — 42 x 30 feet, with 15 stars and 15 stripes. We heard the story of how Frances Scott Key sat on a boat, watching the battle of Ft. McHenry, and was inspired to write the poem that would be set to music and eventually become our National Anthem.

We were proud Americans when we handled that flag. Apparently the song Frances Scott Key wrote is offensive to a part of the populace, just like Lee’s statue. These are strange times we are living in.

But I am proud of our nation’s flag. And I am also proud of Robert E. Lee. Grizzard claimed the slogan, but I saw it on bumper stickers at Stuckey’s before Lewis was out of grade school.

American by birth, Southern by the grace of God. I know. It’s complicated. But thank God for both.

Maybe trapping alligators isn’t so bad after all Maybe this job doesn’t rise to the level of trapping alligators in a swamp, but it is hard enough.

In the first place, I am dealing with editors across the state who wonder if I skipped school when the subject of punctuation was covered in my high school English class. I tell them I was too busy diagramming sentences in Birdie Parker’s class at Russell High School to pay much attention to punctuation.

That turned out to be an unwise decision. The editors don’t seem to care as much about my skill in diagramming a complex sentence complete with adverb modifiers as they do me getting an occasional comma in the right place. Editors can be like that.

And then there is the Woman Who Shares My Name. She says politics are boring and that you would probably like reading about other things. I tell her she needs to understand that you are depending on me to provide you in-depth analysis on the major political issues of the day so that you can make informed decisions.

I remind her that I am a highly respected political pundit. I have this innate ability to easily spot political trends before my media colleagues do. I tell her that is one of the

Dick Yarbrough primary reasons you eagerly pick up this paper. You want to be able to quote one of my patent-pending political observations when next in the grocery checkout line or at a yard sale and have everyone look at you with wonder and awe.

I wouldn’t expect her to understand what I am talking about because while she knows a lot about broccoli — too much, in fact — the Woman Who Shares My Name doesn’t know squat about politics. For the sake of matrimonial harmony and to avoid the prospect of having broccoli shoved up my nose, I try to say that to her with a bit more delicacy, but the fact is the intricacies of the political process are simply beyond her realm of understanding.

We were having a conversation about this very subject last week when I informed her I was working on a column about how the monetary

fluctuations in Tajikistan could impact the race for Georgia’s insurance commissioner. (Sorry, I can’t give you a hint, for it is a very complex subject that I want to get exactly right so you can wow them in the checkout line or at the garage sale.)

She wondered if I kept a file of my previous columns. Of course, I scoffed. I am making history and it is incumbent I have documentation available for future generations seeking to mine the political wisdom of times past. “Could you find the column you wrote in February 2001?” she asked. Piece of cake, I said.

It was a column about the upcoming governor’s race.

“Would you please read aloud the first sentence in the fifth paragraph?” she requested.

Sure. “Gov. Roy Barnes has his hand firmly on the throttle.”

Next sentence, please: “He is helped immeasurably by a Republican leadership in the Legislature that can’t find their backside with both hands.”

“Now,” she said, “the next sentence.” Uh-oh, I wasn’t liking where this was going. “Roy Barnes will easily win a second term.”

“Did he?” she asked. I told her I didn’t remember. That was a long time ago. “Let me refresh your memory,” she said. “A Republican state

senator from Bonaire, George E. Perdue, won and became the first Republican governor in Georgia since Reconstruction and only the second in our state’s history.” She had to have read that somewhere.

“I have an idea,” she said. I hoped it was a better one than having me read that column aloud. “Over the years, I have gotten to know a number of your editors well. I thought I might share this column with them,” she chirped, “and remind them of just what a highly respected political pundit you are.”

Please don’t do that, I whined. “Then do you think you could find something else to write about instead of politics?” she asked. I told her there was a good possibility of that if she would destroy that column.

So, it is with much regret that I must inform you that due to circumstances beyond my control, I am unable to explain how the monetary fluctuations in Tajikistan could impact the Georgia insurance commissioner’s race. Maybe it’s time I thought about trapping alligators for a living.

Chemo patient shouldn’t fast Dear Dr. rOaCH: My daughter-in- law has stage 1 breast cancer and has just started her chemotherapy. I am concerned about her decision to fast for two days before and one day after each treatment. She weighs only 90 pounds, and fasting while you are trying to fight cancer does not sound like a good idea. What is your opinion of fasting during chemotherapy?

— K.B. anSWer: In theory, fasting may make cancer cells more susceptible to chemotherapy, and there have been studies in mice suggesting this approach might have value. However, during chemotherapy, the whole body needs good-quality nutrition, and I could not recommend fasting for someone who weighs so little, nor could I recommend two full days of fasting before chemotherapy.

Until there is clear evidence that intermittent fasting is of benefit, I don’t recommend it. Your daughter-in-law, in particular, is not a good candidate, being so very thin (assuming she is of nearnormal height).

Dr. rOaCH WrITeS: A recent column from a woman complaining of yawning after 10 minutes in her husband’s car generated a remarkable amount of mail. I had concerns of it being due to allergies. Most readers brought up one of two concerns: Could there be a carbon monoxide leak, and could her symptoms be due to a cabin air filter in need of cleaning or replacement?

Carbon monoxide poisoning is a serious, even potentially fatal possibility.

Symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning are varied, but the most common early symptoms are headache, nausea and vomiting. With greater exposure, confusion, chest pain and loss of consciousness occur. Yawning is listed in a few sources I’ve seen as a possible symptom of carbon monoxide poisoning.

I am not a car expert, but I know who is, so I asked Ray Magliozzi from the “Car Talk” radio show and newspaper column to comment, and in his unique style, he wrote: “My wife starts yawning when I talk to her for more than 10 minutes, too.

“If it’s not allergies, my greatest concern is that carbon monoxide is getting into the vehicle because of an exhaust leak. Unfortunately, that’ll put you to sleep — in the same way the family dog got put to sleep. You don’t say how old the used car is.

Usually, an exhaust leak like that would be more likely in a very old car, with a lot of rust. But it’s definitely worth checking before you write it off as allergies.

“You can buy a cheap CO detector for about $20.

They’re often used in small planes, where exposure could be fatal. It’s probably allergies if no others are symptomatic, but an arterial blood test will tell. I had one once: It wasn’t fun. Does opening a window help? I would have my mechanic check for an exhaust leak near the manifold. Those gases can easily find their way into the passenger compartment via the cowl, where fresh air gets pulled in. How about sitting in the car for an hour or so with the engine off and seeing what happens? I’m guessing outgassing (noxious fumes, especially from the dashboard and seats) is the culprit.”

Family members lurk on social media Dear amy: I have a large extended family. I was close to my cousins and aunts growing up, but I now feel like the black sheep of the family. I am gay and have political and religious beliefs that are different from the rest of my conservative family.

While no one has ever been overtly mean or critical to my face, I am “friends” with many of my relatives on social media, and I am routinely given the cold shoulder in this forum.

My aunts post warm messages to their other nieces and nephews. They have never posted anything to me. My cousins constantly post back and forth with each other.

If I add a comment to the conversation, no one responds back. I often leave friendly comments on their photos and updates, even though they never acknowledge me.

While this is hurtful, I understand that my lifestyle is very foreign to them.

I am content to leave things at arm’s length (I’m also embarrassed that it bugs me at all).

My mother is very close to her siblings and their children, but she has no idea that they treat me this way. She does not have a social media account.

Weirdly enough, my relatives seem to be paying close attention to my social media, and often tell my mom about updates or photos I have

Ask Amy

Amy Dickinson posted, which she appreciates. I want to tell her that these relatives are two-faced, but I’m not sure I need to make my problem her problem, and the problem of me feeling snubbed on social media is easily solved by removing them from my friends list. Advice?

— Snubbed Dear SnubbeD: Your relatives are lurking.

Lurkers note what other people post, but decline to “like” or comment on those posts. The fact that they are aware of your doings and report them positively to your mother means that they are paying attention.

You should post whenever and however you want to. You might feel better about this dynamic if you become more of a lurker on your family’s posts. Yes, unfriend them (or hide their posts) if you want to, but don’t let them change you. I don’t know how it will help matters for you to report this snubbing to your mother.

Dear amy: My mother-in-law was just

diagnosed with cancer.

She probably has a year to live. Her youngest son (my husband’s brother) and she had some sort of falling-out, and he has not contacted her in almost a year, despite her many attempts.

He has also not allowed her to see his son. Not seeing her grandson has been very hard on her.

I have been the only one out of four sons and four daughters-in-law to accompany her to her many medical appointments and have been trying to support her as best I can.

My brother-in-law finally called after he found out about her diagnosis and said he would visit this past weekend.

Well he never showed.

Not even a phone call.

She, of course, was devastated. I texted him, and he told me not to get involved, that it was none of my business. My husband agreed.

I feel that since I am the only one who talks to her on a regular basis, I have every right to be outraged and call out my brother-in-law on his awful behavior, just as I would a biological brother. Do I have the right to get involved, or have I overstepped my boundaries?

— Angry In-law Dear angry: You are a family member and an involved helpmate to your mother-in-law. You have every right to react

honestly to this behavior, but you don’t seem to have taken into account what your mother-in-law might have wanted you to do.

My experience with family estrangement is that trying to coax someone back into the fold is a delicate dance. You expressing your righteous and justified anger and/ or bewilderment at his unreliability might have sent him skittering back into his corner, and this is not what anyone seems to want right now. I do think you should absent yourself from this particular dynamic to keep your focus on your loved-one’s needs.

Dear amy: “Bought the Farm” wondered how to enforce the boundaries on their farm from their rowdy family members with teenagers who lived next door.

Suggest trading some fun for those teenagers for some improvements or repairs around the farm!

— Another Amy Dear amy: I like this idea; these teens could help to improve the land they’ve rutted with their four-wheelers.

The crowds grew throughout the day, culminating during Aurora Theatre’s sunset production of Disney’s “The Hunchback of Notre Dame” with a couple thousand people sitting on the lawn to see the show. “(The festival) exceeded our expectations,” Lawrenceville Community and Economic Development Director Lisa Sherman said. “We have a growing art population in Lawrenceville.

We have the only professional theatre in Gwinnett in our downtown, and as we continue to do this event year after year, we see growing interest. We see excitement. We see art vendors who were here today that are local to the Lawrenceville community.

“And that’s really what this event is all about. It’s a celebration of local artists and art.”

One of the local artists who participated in the festival was Shannon

Rutledge said Gwinnett Fire Boat1 was deployed with firefighters who were also certified as swiftwater rescue technicians.

The firefighters on the boat were able to rescue the men without anyone getting injured.

Rutledge said the incident is an example of why people are en-

There was plenty of temptation for her, though.

“I’ve really enjoyed the booths that are here, and I’m impressed at the quality of work,” she said. “I just wish there were more artists that were participating.”

There were also opportunities for attendees to make their own art. In addition to the Paint A Rock booth, there was a chalk walk art competition in which participants drew elaborate images on the sidewalk at the park, and walls where attendees could draw or write messages about art.

Lawrenceville youth Kendall Grymes, 7, drew several hearts on one of the walls. Some of them were hearts within hearts.

“I like drawing hearts,” she said.

Meanwhile, Ann, McKenna and Teagan Thompson decided to take advantage of as many opportunities to make art at the event as possible.

“We just love the arts, and being able to do art together as a family,” Ann Thompson said.

“In 2010, the Supreme Court ruled that counties would be provided a jury list of which to create panel,” Porter said. “In 2013, a new rule was proposed that said you have to use the exact list that is provided and you can’t make any changes.

Mulberry Elementary encourages paternal participation trevor.mcnaboe @gwinnettdailypost.com

The early start Friday morning didn’t deter hundreds of fathers and their children from gathering for breakfast at Mulberry Elementary School. It’s a monthly ritual at the school which has become quite popular — increasing attendance almost fivefold since it started last year.

That increase has excited Principal Jonathan Day, who started an All Pro Dads program at the Auburn school. Friday’s breakfast was the last of this school year, but the jam-packed cafeteria highlighted how popular the event has become at the school “We had around 50 or so parents come with their students last year,” Day said. “All of a sudden it just blew up, and now we have anywhere from 200 to 250 parents come with their children to enjoy a breakfast.”

Day said the idea for the program came from a conversation with someone from Alcova Elementary School in the Dacula district. It’s part of the curriculum that former NFL coach Tony Dungy developed, which encourages activities that bring parents and students together.

Some of the activities the fathers and students have participated in include making Valentine’s Day cards for mothers and having the children answer six questions about their father and share it with their dads so they can learn

more about one another.

“I wanted to get dads in and have them sit down and eat something with their kid,” Day said. “And secondly, I just wanted to talk to them for around five minutes while they eat.”

The use of cellphones is discouraged during the event with the belief that the breakfast is about bringing families closer together.

Some of the things Day talks about during his five-minute talk before each breakfast is making sure families make time for one another, not only during the holidays but on a daily basis.

Parents, such as Matt Turner, have been coming to the breakfast since its inception.

“This a good chance for dads of the students to come in and have a little breakfast and one-onone time with their children,” said Turner, a volunteer for the event.

“Mr. Day and the faculty have put this on, and we’ve had extremely good turnouts ever since the first one.”

The idea of parents spend-

present.

Tony Boner, who has an 8-year-old daughter named Allana, has made it a goal to help bring other students who may be from a single-parent household, or whose parents can’t make the event, with him to the breakfast meetings.

“When you come here and see all the men involved, it gives us a chance to come together and be with our kids,” Boner said.

The ability to spend time with his daughter is something Boner said he treasures.

“Every opportunity I get to do that, it shows that she’s a priority for me,” he said. “That’s what this event shows for a lot of kids. The school has really given parents, and dads especially, the chance to show their children are a priority.”

“Typically, school mornings can be hectic,” Turner said.

which looked at reports of bed sores, patient falls, and air or gas bubbles in the blood.

GMC’s “problems with surgery” category was an even split of good and bad based on the six subcategories, while the hospital received three bad grades under the “practices to prevent errors” category and three bad grades and one good grade under the “doctors, nurses and hospital staff” category.

Bier said GMC previously made changes that resulted in the better grade, but acknowledged that the hospital has more to do.

“Some advancements that we’ve recently incorporated into our culture include ICU staffing by board-certified intensive care physicians who are available 24 hours a day,” he said. “In addition, we’ve relentlessly focused on preventing hospitalacquired infections and hospital-acquired pressure ulcers. To that end, we will continually make advancements and refine our rigorous approach to continuously improve performance related to hand hygiene, patient and physician communications, and other key aspects of patient safety.”

Eastside scored best in the “problems with surgery” and “safety problems” categories and broke even in the “doctors, nurses and hospital staff” category.

It received lower scores for its “infections” and “practices to prevent error” categories, though the hospital still received a number of “good” grades in those two categories.

“Eastside Medical Center is proud to once again be ranked among the top tier of high qual-

ity hospitals nationwide that received a ‘B’or better,” said Hope Moeck, Eastside’s spokeswoman.

“We remain committed to always looking for opportunities to improve and provide the best possible care. This is a continual process and is part of our culture at Eastside.”

After recently heading south to find potential recruits for its open police officer positions, the Gwinnett County Police Department headed north with the same goal.

The department, which is hiring more than 100 police officer positions — 65 of which will be added in 2018 — hosted a hiring event in Rochester, N.Y., at the Monroe Community College Public Safety Training Center this weekend.

“We have a lot of native New York state people in the department and this area,” said Cpl. Wilbert Rundles, a spokesman for the department. “We have recruited there before and it has been fruitful. There are many people there that wish to pursue a career in law enforcement but it is difficult to do there due to state regulations.”

Rundles said this year’s previous hiring event, which was held March 3 and 4 in Fort Lauderdale, was fruitful.

“One hundred and sixtythree applicants came through the door — 66 walk ups — and (we gave) 77 conditional job offers,” he said.

While walk-ups are welcome, applicants will complete a large portion of the hiring process during the event and should plan on spending a few hours with recruiters and hiring managers, Rundles said.

“At the Gwinnett County Police Department, our goal is to complete the hiring process in 90 days or less, which is significantly faster than most police agencies,” he said. “Most applicants’ background investigations are completed well before the 90-day mark, and attendance at the hiring event will make the process even faster.”

Applicants who receive a final job offer can begin work immediately for full pay, which begins at $38,642, or $40,960 for those with a bachelor’s degree, and police officer trainees will receive a nonenforcement assignment within the department until the next

academy begins.

Trainees attend the department’s own police academy and receive full pay throughout and automatically receive a promotion to police officer senior on their one-year anniversary with successful completion of the police academy and field training program.

After the year anniversary, base salary is increased to $43,200, or $45,792 for those who hold a bachelor’s degree.

“After two years in the rank of police officer senior, officers are eligible for a noncompetitive promotion to Master Police Officer with completion of certain training requirements,” Rundles said.

“Base salary is increased to $49,528 at that point, or $52,500 with four-year college degree. Additionally, (the department) offers a relocation reimbursement of up to $2,000 for qualified expenses.”

Upon graduation from the police academy, the department provides each officer with a take-home car and issues all uniforms and equipment, Rundles said. After two years with the department, employees are eligible for tuition reimbursement and are offered defined contribution (401(a)) and deferred compensation (457(b)) retirement options.

Rundles said previously certified law enforcement officers are considered on a case-by-case basis for Gwinnett’s lateral transfer program and while out-ofstate transfers must attend the full police academy, they will start at a higher salary based on years of service.

“Upon graduation from the academy, police recruits are sworn in as police officers,” Rundles said. “Two years from an officer’s date of hire, they are eligible for assignment to a specialized unit. The Gwinnett County Police Department is a large, full-service department, and has a wide range of assignments, including K-9, SWAT, criminal investigations (detectives), hazardous devices unit, motorcycle unit, DUI unit, accident investigation unit, aviation and narcotics.”

Man convicted of aggravated assault and armed robbery isabel.hughes @gwinnettdailypost.com

An Atlanta man was recently sentenced to life in prison with the possibility of parole for aggravated assault, armed robbery and hijacking a car.

A Gwinnett County jury found Jeffery Merritt Jr., 36, guilty of hitting a woman in the back of the head with a chair and then robbing her at gunpoint before stealing her car — a 2011 Monte Carlo — and driving off in it June 22.

On July 9, less than a month after Merritt stole the car, a Doraville police officer pulled over the stolen Monte Carlo in reference to gasoline that had been stole stolen.

Merritt, who had changed the license plate on the car to a license

place that was associated with a 2003 Chevrolet Monte Carlo Jeffery registered Merritt to him, was arrested for the theft of the gasoline and the Monte Carlo was impounded.

On July 12, Merritt went to Brown and Brown Wrecker with his driver’s license and registration associated with his 2003 Monte Carlo and was able to get the stolen Monte Carlo released to him.

He was later found and arrested for the assault, robbery and car hijacking. The jury deliberated for 75 minutes before convicting Merritt on the four charges.

Francoeur’s feats at Parkview still amazing

By Will Hammock

will.hammock @gwinnettdailypost.com

If Jeff Francoeur had never played professional baseball, his case for the Gwinnett Sports Hall of Fame — where he is headed with Monday night’s induction — was already made.

His 12 seasons of Major League Baseball only enhanced the credentials of one of the state’s most decorated high school athletes.

The Panthers won state baseball and football championships each of his final two seasons. He was the star player on each of those teams, racking up gaudy stats along the way.

“I’m not sure I’ve ever seen anybody have more of a positive effect on a school or community than Jeff did,” said longtime Parkview baseball coach Hugh Buchanan, who became a pro baseball scout after retirement. “It was crazy, just absolutely crazy, the things he did and ac-

Buchanan recalled a scene at Lassiter when Francoeur was a senior, a top pro prospect and the subject of opposing fans’ taunts.

HOF induction brings Pierce’s life, career full circle

By David Friedlander david.friedlander @gwinnettdailypost.com

Basketball has taken Joyce Pierce almost literally halfway around the world throughout her life, from a stellar All-American college career at Georgia Tech to a season of professional ball in France.

But after returning where it all began as a math teacher and junior varsity coach at Norcross

High School three years ago, her career will truly come full circle when she is inducted into the Gwinnett Sports Hall of Fame, along with four other members of the Class of 2018, on Monday at the Infinite Energy Forum’s Grand Ballroom.

It’s an honor she never imagined for herself, even after her career at Georgia Tech in which she still stands among the the top five Yellow Jackets alltime in several categories,

including standing second in career free throws made (430) and tied for third in career scoring average (18.8 ppg) and rebounding average (9.2 rpg).

“Those things are for, like, famous people,” said Pierce, who was a second-team All-ACC selection while playing at Tech from 1991-93, and was an honorable mention Kodak All-American in 1993. “When they called to tell me about it,

I laughed because I guess I never imagined any kind of accolade like that.

I was just playing basketball for fun. And the reward was intangible for me already. So just to be recognized for something like this was just unthinkable for me.”

But even after leaving basketball after a season playing professionally for S.P.O. Rouen in France and settling down to raise two children, the game never really left Pierce.

Neither did Norcross.

“It was very special to come back to my hometown,” Pierce said. “It helped with breaking the ice. I was already well known, and people have been very accepting. It’s very rewarding to come

For Lewis, her biggest improvement in her junior season is her ability to distribute. She’s had to develop endurance to survive all 50 minutes of a high school game. Against Mill Creek she was substituted only after she was called for a penalty late in the second half. Otherwise, Lewis alternates between attack and midfielder, which is her primary position buy calls for more running in pursuit of ball in transition.

“We have new players — upcoming JV players — and I think we’ve clicked really well,” Lewis said.

“We’re playing great as a team and learning how to get over the obstacles we’ve faced this year as well.

Atlanta United scored four unanswered goals in the second half, two apiece

by Miguel Almiron and Kevin Kratz, to overtake the Montreal Impact 4-1 Saturday at a rocking MercedesBenz Stadium.

Atlanta (6-1-1) extended its unbeaten streak to seven games, scoring four goals over the final 20 minutes after being stymied by an upset-minded foe. Montreal (2-6-0) suffered its fourth straight loss.

Kevin Kratz broke a 1-1 tie with a brilliant free-kick goal in the 78th minute after a handball, the ball dipping over the wall and into the corner to his left. The goal, Kratz’s first of the season, came about four minutes after he’d entered as a substitute.

Almiron, who has six goals this season, made it 3-1 in the 84th minute on a quick counter after the ball clipped off the back of teammate Josef Martinez’s heels. Kratz added the final goal on another fabulous free kick into the corner, beating the wall again.

Sitting back on defense, Montreal took just two shots

in the first half, but one of them found the net. Algerian international Saphir Taider notched his first goal of the season on a diving header in close off a beautiful cross from pushed-up defender Chris Duvall in the 13th minute.

Atlanta attacked the Montreal goal in wave after wave, dominating possession, but the Impact held its ground, often with nine men behind the ball. At least for the first 69 minutes.

Impact goalkeeper Evan Bush, who set a club record with 14 saves in a 5-3 loss to Los Angeles FC on April 21, was up to his old tricks early. He stopped Martinez on back-to-back attempts in the fifth minute.

Atlanta’s Darlington Nagbe headed the ball high and wide on another chance.

An apparent goal after an Ezequiel Barco free kick in the 33rd minute was negated by an offside call against Martinez.

They never listen to what you say, but they’ll actually do what you did,” Pierce said with a laugh. “And just being able to teach some of my students and develop the work ethic I try to instill in the kids.

Just pass it forward, the work ethic. You work hard at anything, and things pay off.”

•From Page 1B hunt. The Gladiators finished with a double-digit gap, but it was nip and tuck for a while and they couldn’t afford to give hurt players extra rest.

“At the time, you’re just trying to get to the dance,” Weber said. “Things added up.”

Atlanta did return to the playoffs for the first time since 2013, a definite step in the right direction. The Gladiators were swept, but three of the four games went down to the wire.

“We were in, we just had too many self-inflicted wounds with some of the goals against,” Weber said.

“We missed opportunities that could have gone either way. We were in that series. I thought it was closer than a sweep.”

In the playoffs alone, Atlanta lost three players to injury — Lindsay Sparks, Ben Danford and Eric Shand. Sparks and Danford were the team’s top point producing forward and defenseman, respectively. Power forward Brendan Troock wasn’t able to play at all in the postseason.

“We missed him in the playoffs, big time,” Weber said.

Sparks played the first three games with a knee brace on his elbow to keep from hyperextending it, but was out of the lineup for the decisive Game 4.

Sparks tore the ligament in his elbow in March and played through it. Until he couldn’t.

“If he was a baseball player, he would have had Tommy John’s surgery,” Weber said. “So he couldn’t shoot the puck.

He wasn’t practicing.”

In fact, the week leading up to Game 1 against Florida, only eight players were able to practice, which meant no time to install counteractive measures or even be game

•From Page 1B the fence, they were in the trees on bank and just unloading on him,” Buchanan said. “He was standing out there giving it back to them. One of our coaches said we might ought to bring him in (the dugout) because we don’t want to get him worked up. I said, ‘Hey, that’s the stuff he thrives on. It was nothing negative from him and their kids weren’t being real negative, but they were giving him fits. It was a positive thing, banter going back and forth. He came in and had that look in his eyes. He smiled and said, ‘Coach this is incredible. Can you believe this atmosphere?’ To him, there was really no pressure. He was just out there having fun. That’s just who he was and that’s the way he was in football also.”

How did Francoeur respond when the state finals started that evening?

He went 6-for-7 with four home runs, including some of the longest ever hit at Lassiter, and seven RBIs. Coming in as a relief pitcher for end of both Game 1 and Game 2, he earned both victories in his final two high school baseball games.

That finish came on the heels of a junior season that saw him hit a countyrecord 20 home runs, including another monster playoff series against Lassiter — he had five home runs and 12 RBIs in a second-round doubleheader. His 55 career home runs set a new standard, ranking at the time as the 10th most nationally for a career.

He lived in the spotlight more than most high school athletes, but it didn’t bother him, his coaches said.

“Looking back on it, I don’t think he felt pressure

Gladiators sharp to start the series.

“I don’t think we could have physically gone on a long playoff run. Unfortunately,” said Weber, who led Cincinnati to two Kelly Cups during his four-year stint there earlier in his career. “To win a championship, you have to have a lot of health and a little bit of luck. We didn’t.

“We’re in Game 4 and we couldn’t get a call. Like I said before, I thought we deserved a better fate in the first round. I’m not saying we would have won the series, but I didn’t think there was any reason we couldn’t have been going back to Florida.”

The list of injuries is too long for a complete dissection, but broken bones and ripped ligaments took down at least half a dozen players for large swaths of the season. Goaltender Sean Bonar had his teeth kicked in during a game in Greenville. Even their athletic trainer Aaron Rice had an emergency appendectomy on the road.

“I think there’s a good foundation here,” Weber said. “It’s tough in one year to just come in and win. There are guys on this team who can be pillars.”

Of the young forwards on the roster, two in particular stood out to Weber — Tanner Pond and Darby Llewellyn.

“Tanner, for a kid who was very unheralded, who had, what, four goals in his college career, to come in and just make the progress he did, he’s the epitome of a guy who used this level to make a name for himself,” Weber said. “Next year, I think Tanner is going to spend more time in the American League than he’s going to spend in the East Coast League.

Pond was called up to the AHL at the end of the regular season and played four games with Providence. In 61 games with Atlanta, the rookie out of

Northeastern had 14 goals and 37 points. He also had four point in four playoff games.

“He was a guy who for me was a joy to work with every day,” Weber said.

“He wanted to get better.

He plays the game for the right reasons and he plays the game the right way. He makes mistakes, he hit his college wall and he had his ups and downs, but it was never coming from a place of selfishness at all.”

It took Llewellyn some time to find his stride as a 21-year-old coming out of the OHL, but once he did, he was a force for the Gladiators. Llewellyn finished with 17 goals and 30 points in 66 games.

“I thought Darby Llewellyn came such a long way this year,” Weber said. “As a kid we got off waivers that Indy thought couldn’t play to a kid who scored almost 20 goals.

He got power play time.

He became one of our best penalty killers. He was an irritant on the ice.

Especially for a 21-yearold kid, I was really happy with his evolution.

“It’s the way they compete and how hard they work. But it’s the stuff that the fans don’t see. It’s the work in practice. They going out early, the staying late and they were rewarded for it.”

Phil Lane up front and Taylor Doherty on the blue line anchored the team all season.

“Phil Lane was our best player,” Weber said. “He was the straw that stirred our drink. We don’t make the playoffs without Phil.

He was professional. He played banged up most of the season and the way he played the game was hard.

He fought. He went to the hard areas.”

Weber remembered showing a video of goals in December and it was almost entirely a rundown of Lane scoring from the

net front.

“It’s like, ‘Guys, if you want to know why he’s our leading scorer, look where he’s standing,’” Weber said. “He was huge for us.”

Another crucial piece of the puzzle was Bonar, who opted to wait in the wings as the third goalie when Matt O’Connor was assigned from the AHL. “He was a hidden gem,” Weber said of the Princeton educated netminder who had primarily played in the SPHL before getting called up to Atlanta in November after Matt Ginn suffered a season-ending injury. “He went through a lot this season with the whole O’Connor situation and everything else. He trusted us and he trusted the process.”

Weber also was pleased with the progress goalie Dan Vladar made in his second year under contract with the Boston Bruins.

“He’s still a 20-year-old kid,” Weber said. “Usually they say goalies hit their prime at 25. My exit meeting with him, I said ‘Don’t let that number stick in your head. You’re ahead of the curve, but what you make of the next year or two in training and taking your craft seriously in the offseason, will dictate that.’”

Those who return next season also will have a better idea of what Weber expects from them.

“Everybody this year was trying to figure me out, especially for guys who hadn’t been in the American League,” Weber said. “I think it was a culture shock for some of the guys early on. Some of the guy flourished and some of the guys wilted. I think we got most of the guys out of here who wilted.”

Half of the opening-day roster made it through to the end of the regular season, though four of those 12 played less than half the season due to injury.

Francoeur at all,” Buchanan said. “He was just out there playing.

He was living the dream as they say.”

Those milestones don’t even factor in Francoeur’s contributions on back-toback state championship football teams. He was good enough in that sport to sign with Clemson, but he bypassed that for professional baseball when the hometown Atlanta Braves made him a first-round draft pick and offered a then-franchise record $2.2 million signing bonus.

As a junior, the tall and rangy cornerback intercepted 15 passes. He had 28 touchdown catches his final two seasons, averaged 20.1 yards per catch and topped the 1,000-yard mark in receiving as a senior.

“He had great instincts,” Flowe said. “Defensively, it was definitely his instincts (that stood out). He was a great tape-studier, back in the day before Hudl. He was a great tape-studier looking at his opponents and breaking things down.

He would sit away and force the quarterback to make a bad throw, go in there and swoop it up.

Offensively, he had that uncanny ability to get open.”

Francoeur said some of his best sports memories are from those high school days, citing his final state baseball championship series vs. Lassiter and an overtime win at Brookwood in front of a packed stadium as two that truly stand out. He made history with his individual performances, and his team reached great heights, too, but he said he didn’t feel overwhelmed by all the pressure and attention.

“I think that’s a testament to our coaches we had at Parkview in football and baseball,” Francoeur said. “They were so driven.

I don’t think they ever let

us think about (making history). It was always onto the next game, onto the next team. In football, they prepared us the same way for Meadowcreek — not to be negative about Meadowcreek, but they weren’t winning then — as they did Brookwood. In baseball — Buch — it was my way or the highway. But to a good extent. He knew how to get the most out of us and get us to play hard. It was so awesome how Coach Buch and Coach Flowe got along. I hear all the time, the baseball coach wants me to do this. The football coach wants me to do that.

“Those two got along so well and they had a plan. … I still hear people talk about where I played. It was a cool thing for me to play ball somewhere (in the majors) and be in the outfield and hear someone yell Parkview. Gwinnett County, sports-wise, is on the top in the country, not just our state. I know people in the South get tired of hearing it, but we won in Gwinnett. We continue to win. We continue to put out winners and good people.”

After high school, Francoeur burst onto the MLB scene in 2005, hitting .300 with 14 home runs and 45 RBIs in just 70 games, finishing third in rookie of the year voting and appearing on the cover of Sports Illustrated. He followed that up with a pair of 100RBI seasons and earned a Gold Glove for his defense, eventually playing 12 MLB seasons before his retirement after the 2016 season.

The pro career sparked an interest in broadcasting, which allows him to stay around the game. He works frequently on Fox Sports South and Fox Sports Southeast TV broadcasts, and signed this week for radio appearances on 680 The Fan. Those endeavors

keep him busy when he’s not playing golf or spending time with his wife Catie, daughter Emma Kate (who is 5) and son Brayden (2). The couple is expecting a third child in October.

“I love (the broadcasting), absolutely it’s a long-term, great thing,” said Francoeur, who was on road broadcasts from Cincinnati this week. “It’s not like I’m doing 160 games and I’m gone all the time. They give me the opportunity to do quite a few games, stay involved with what I love and be around the game. It was cool to be (in Cincinnati) and be part of (top prospect Ronald) Acuna’s debut. They’re still giving me a chance to do tons of stuff, but I also get to go to Disney next week.

I still get to be a dad and do those things.”

Francoeur still calls Gwinnett home — he lives in Suwanee — and is excited about Monday’s hall of fame induction, in large part because it allows him to see lots of old friends.

A number of his former Parkview coaches plan to attend, including Neal Auer, who will introduce him.

He also appreciates what it means to be recognized

by Gwinnett, the hub for so many top athletes over the years.

“You hear a lot about people going into the hall of fame for my county, my school, whatever,” Francoeur said. “But in a place like Gwinnett, where it’s amazing the talent that keeps coming through, it’s really special. For me, that’s the cool part, knowing how many guys have been there before you, the people going in with you (to the hall of fame) and the guys who are coming in the future. It’s an honor.

I’m really excited.”

other former Atlanta and G-Brave, Brandon Snyder, followed with a single.

Ruiz and Bautista teamed up to get the lead runner on third when Justin Williams tried to bunt the runners over, but Durham wound up advancing two runners into scoring position anyway when Pfeifer delivered a wild pitch with Adam Moore at the plate.

Still, it looked like Gwinnett might cut down the lead run at the plate when Sean Kazmar Jr. fielded Moore’s dribbler to short and fired home in plenty of time to get Snyder, only to have the throw tip off Brantly’s glove and allow the Bulls to take a 1-0 lead.

Pfeifer then struck out Velazquez for the second out of the inning, but Johnson delivered an RBI single to right to score Williams to increase the Durham lead to 2-0.

Once again, it looked like the Stripers might avoid further damage when Decker threw a strike to the plate in plenty of time, but Moore was able to knock the ball out of Brantley’s glove to add another run and make the Bulls’ lead 3-0.

Pfeifer was able to get out of the inning despite another error by Bautista, only his first in nine games since being signed

by Atlanta to a minor league contract earlier this month, but the damage was done.

And Ian Gibault (1-0) retired the Stripers in order in the bottom of the ninth to complete 1 2/3 innings of perfect relief and lock down his first win of the season.

Foltynewicz keeps rolling; Braves top Philadelphia 4-1 Field Level Media Mike Foltynewicz pitched six strong innings and Nick Markakis hit his fourth home run to lead the Atlanta Braves to a 4-1 win over the Philadelphia Phillies on Saturday at Citizens Bank Park.

Foltynewicz (2-1) allowed one run on three hits and two walks, striking out six. The right-hander allowed one run for the third time this season and has yet to give up more than three in six starts. He improved to 4-2 against Philadelphia and picked up his first decision against the Phillies this season.

Arodys Vizcaino worked around a walk and struck out the side to pitch a scoreless ninth inning and earn his third save.

The two teams have split the first two games of the series. The rubber game is today.

The losing pitcher was Nick Pivetta (1-1), who allowed four runs on six hits and three walks in five

Georgia had 51 shots on goal to just 30 for Vancouver as the Swarm were able to grind out a tough win at home after goalie Mike Poulin (20 saves) fought off a last-ditch Vancouver scoring effort in the final seconds. Lyle Thompson added two goals, marking his eighth consecutive game with multiple goals.

But the show belonged to King and Shayne Jackson. King (two goals, four assists) and Jackson (three goals, four assists) both had monster games and were the primary creators of Georgia offense. The duo also hooked up with one another multiple times to create goals.

“He just made some unbelievable passes where all I had to do was catch it and get a shot on net,” Jackson said.

signing a declaration.

Then, last year, the revised law was blocked by a lower court.

At the time, Judge Nelva Gonzales Ramos with the US District Court for the Southern District of Texas said the law discriminated against many black and Latino people.

She said the law “had a discriminatory impact” and that there had been a “pattern of conduct unexplainable on grounds other than (the) race factor.”

Gonzales Ramos later granted a permanent injunction against the law.

She said the second law was an improvement but fell “far short of mitigating the discriminatory provisions of SB 14.”

In Friday’s ruling, the

appeals court panel said the Texas Legislature intended to “cure all the flaws” of the original law by passing SB 5 and had “succeeded in its goal.”

The judges reversed the previous ruling because the lower court had “abused its discretion,” they wrote in the ruling.

“The court erred first in concluding that SB 5 must be invalidated as the tainted fruit of SB 14,” the ruling states.

Ruling criticized and cheered Those who challenged the law called Friday’s ruling disappointing.

“We are exploring all legal options,” Danielle Lang, senior legal counsel for the Campaign Legal Center, which represents

people New Kanye West song defends his praise for Trump

Kanye West has doubled down on his support for Donald Trump, releasing a new song amid days of mounting controversy over his outspoken backing of the president.

West’s new song, “Ye vs. The People,” debuted Friday on Los Angeles radio station Power 106. The track features West debating Tip “T.I.” Harris, the Atlanta-based, Grammywinning rapper who’s been an outspoken critic of police brutality — and is no Trump fan.

West’s opening salvo in the track picks up the thread of the recent controversy: “I know Obama was Heaven sent, but ever since Trump won, it proved that I could be president,” West raps.

West defends his embrace of Trump, notably the picture he tweeted of himself wearing a Trump campaign hat.

“Make America Great Again had a negative reception. I took it, wore it, rocked it, gave it a new direction.

Added empathy, care and love and affection, and y’all simply questionin’ my methods,” he says.

T.I. returns fire in alternating rhymes and gets in a personal barb at West: “This s**t is stubborn, selfish, bullheaded, even for you.”

When West complains that “All Blacks gotta be Democrats,” T.I. shoots back: “F*** who you choose as your political party, you representin’ dudes just seem crude and coldhearted.”

Rachel McAdams, Rachel Weisz talk of playing lovers

Rachel McAdams and Rachel Weisz hope their new movie empowers others to love whoever they choose.

The actresses co-star in “Disobedience,” about two women, living in an orthodox Jewish community in London, who go to great lengths to hide their romantic involvement. The film, directed by Sebastián Lelio, is based on the book of the same name by Naomi Alderman.

“I hope the big message is, it’s difficult and a challenge to be free enough to love who you want to love in some instances. It can be very hard, and it’s not sometimes easily won,” Weisz told CNN in a recent interview.

McAdams echoed those sentiments, saying that most people can relate to sometimes having to “hurt” someone in the process of following your heart.

“We all sort of grow up in our little worlds and people try to push you this way and that. We all can relate to having to break free of that,” McAdams told CNN in the same interview. “I think everyone goes through that struggle to some degree or another, but I think everyone has the right to that struggle.

That’s part of being human and to have that taken away closes down your entire system.”

Liberian ex-president Sirleaf dedicates Nobel prize to women’s empowerment

By Bethlehem Feleke CNN

Former Liberian President and Nobel Peace Prize laureate Ellen Johnson Sirleaf on Friday accepted a $5 million prize for excellence in African leadership — and said she’ll use it to establish a center for the empowerment of women.

Sirleaf, the first woman to be awarded the Mo Ibrahim Prize, gave her acceptance speech on the opening night of the Ibrahim

Must read Governance Weekend in Kigali, Rwanda.

Sirleaf, 79, stepped down early this year after two terms as Liberia’s president. The prize recognizes her role in the West African nation’s recovery from years of devastating civil war, the prize committee has said.

She plans to use the prize money to establish the Ellen John-

son Sirleaf Presidential Center for Women and Development, which she said is “designed to support women as agents of change, makers of peace and drivers of progress.”

Sirleaf made women’s progress a key focus of her speech.

“We must tackle the historical disadvantages which have made women political outsiders,” said Sirleaf, who was Africa’s first democratically elected woman president. “It is my hope that

women and girls across Africa will be inspired to break through barriers and to push back the frontiers of possibilities.”

She was met with a standing ovation from leaders across Africa, who will spend the rest of the weekend in discussions about how to tackle the continent’s challenges as part of the Ibrahim Forum. This year’s forum focuses on public service.

The London-based Mo Ibrahim Foundation launched the humani-

tarian award in 2007 to celebrate democratically elected African presidents and prime ministers who have developed their countries and followed their constitutional term mandates. Former South African President Nelson Mandela is among its laureates.

Ibrahim, a Sudanese-born telecommunications businessman and billionaire, created the foundation bearing his name in 2006. It uses 88 criteria to rate the governance of African countries.

Fort Daniel archaeologists cataloging artifact finds after years of research

BY CURT YEOMANS

Attendees at last year’s Fort Daniel Frontier Faire watch Georgia State University students conduct an archaeological excavation at the historic site on Hog Mountain last fall. The importance of doing archaeological research to help understand the site’s history is being highlighted in May, which is Georgia Archaeology Month. (Staff Photos: Curt Yeomans)

A trowel sits next to some bagged artifacts recovered at the Fort Daniel site during last year’s Frontier Faire. The Fort Daniel Foundation and the Gwinnett Archaeological Research Society are currently working with a Georgia State University student to catalog all of the artifacts found at the site.

FORT DANIEL TIMELINE June 18, 1812: The U.S. declares war on Great Britain, starting the War of 1812 Oct. 21, 1813: Georgia Militia 4th Division Commander Maj. Gen. Allen Daniel orders Brigadier Gen. Frederick Beall to build a new fort on Hog Mountain to replace an older one that is deemed to be unfit for defense. It is unclear when the previous fort was built.

Feb. 17, 1815: The U.S. ratifies the Treaty of Ghent, ending the War of 1812.

Circa 1816: The fort is abandoned and farming is believed to have begun not long afterward Circa 1965: Farming stops at the site 2007: Archaeological investigations begin at the site, a trench feature in the northwest area of the fort site and a burned area in what was eventually determined to be

the fort’s southwest blockhouse are discovered.

2008: Investigations of the burned area lead officials to initially believe it was a hearth. Parts of the west wall and south wall trenches are also discovered.

2010: Additional sections of the south wall trench, as well as the east wall trench are discovered. The northwest corner of the fort is also found, which leads to confirmation of the location and size of where the fort’s northeast blockhouse stood.

2011: Georgia State University archaeology students under the direction of Dr. Jeffrey Glover begin working at the Fort Daniel site in partnership with the foundation and GARS. They continue to work together.

2012: Georgia State students discover a pit in the northeast block house site that turned

out to be a collapsed rodent den which was filled with artifacts such as buttons, bullets, wrought and machine made nails, various ceramic pieces and a flint. Gwinnett County buys the property that the fort sat on in December and it becomes the Fort Daniel Historic Site and Archaeological Research Park.

2013: Excavations at the annual Frontier Faire reveal the fort’s gate was six feet wide.

2015: Further archaeological research shows the burned area in the southwest blockhouse that was initially believed to be a hearth was actually a cold storage area.

2016: A working blacksmith shop is built and dedicated at the Fort Daniel site, outside of the fort’s footprint.

2017: A replica gate is dedicated during the annual Frontier Faire in October.

rchaeologists and history buffs from the Fort Daniel Foundation and the Gwinnett Archaeological Research Society have been investigating the site where Fort Daniel once stood for more than a decade.

In that time, they have discovered the outline of the War of 1812 fort’s footprint.

They have also recovered numerous artifacts including buttons, nails, bullets, eating utensils and pottery and glassware fragments.

Now, 11 years after the investigations at the site on Hog Mountain, they are in the process of compiling data that will chronicle everything they have found that can tell them about life at the old fort.

“We’ve wanted to get this done, and not just rely on volunteers because we’ve been doing that because people would volunteer, but then get involved in something else, and we needed someone with expertise to do this,” Fort Daniel Foundation President James D’Angelo said.

For the people at the foundation and GARS who work with the Fort Daniel site, the archaeological research that they are doing there is a year-round process. In May, however, that work and similar work taking place at historical sites around the state are in the spotlight since it is Georgia Archaeology Month.

D’Angelo said Archaeology Month is a national program, but some states do it in different months. In Georgia, that happens to be May. “It’s a time for your state, for Georgia, to make the public more aware of archaeology in Georgia and different organizations (that deal with) archaeology, such as ours, do events,” he said. “And, they do all kinds of events. We’re going to participate the first weekend in May at an event at Stone Mountain that is held every year. … Very similarly, we have our (open house May 12).”

make sure the history they have found at the fort site is chronicled for future uses.

“It wasn’t intentional (that work to chronicle artifacts found at the site lined up with the bicentennial),” GARS president Delana Gilmore said. “It’s just kind of interesting to see how it all works out together.”

D’Angelo said the Fort Daniel Foundation received a grant from the Daughters of the American Revolution, through its Philadelphia Winn chapter in Lawrenceville, for historical preservation work.

“Obviously to find someone to do that and hire them — we’d need to have the money to do that — so this was a great route because DAR has this grant program for historical preservation projects … so this comes under preservation,” D’Angelo said.

A student from Georgia State University is working with the organization to catalog artifacts recovered at the site so officials can have detailed data on the number of artifacts that have been recovered, with a breakdown by type of item found. That information is a standard piece of any archaeological report, D’Angelo said.

The goal is to create an official report for the Fort Daniel site that the foundation hopes to be able to compile this fall at the Chronicling discoveries latest. The student who is of Gwinnett’s past working with the artifacts is While archaeological using a computer database research has been going on developed for archaeoloat the Fort Daniel site for gists across the nation to list years, that work and the what items have been found information it has yielded is at a site. taking on a special signifiSeveral universities and cance this year as Gwinthe National Park Service nett County celebrates its use that database as well, bicentennial.

database. What you could do — I don’t know if we’re going to do this — let’s say there’s a War of 1812 site, a battlefield park or another site from that period, you could query that and say ‘Here’s all of our ceramics, what do you have that’s the same or similar?’”

D’Angelo and Gilmore said that will help the Fort Daniel Foundation and

Dig Data GARS get caught up on what they have. There’s been attempts to catalog things the old fashioned way, without a database, before but this is expected to be a thorough historical cataloging of the artifacts.

“We’ve been without a curator for the artifacts for a couple of years and we’ve had so many public archaeology days that it’s gotten backed up a little bit so we’re trying to get caught

up and put it into a database,” Gilmore said.

Gilmore also said the work is important because it lets the people who work with the Fort Daniel site “know what we have there.”

“We have so many ceramics and so many nails, and there’s the different types of nails because some of them are from the previous (pre-War of 1812) fort that was there,” she said.

“So it lets us know what

we’ve got, and also compare it to other forts from that same time period and see if they were built the same way.”

Attendees will get a chance to see what kind of archaeological work is taking place at the site by assisting with digs taking place there and touring the Fort Daniel Museum, where recovered artifacts are put on display, and its archaeology lab.

Fort Daniel Open House The foundation and GARS will celebrate Georgia Archaeology Month at their annual Fort Daniel Open House event from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. May 12 at the historic site, which is located at 2505 Braselton

Environmental Resources Management recently donated refurbished soil screeners to the foundation for its public archaeology program as well as the archaeology education program it does with local school groups.

Meadowcreek culinary team set to compete Meadowcreek High School received a sponsorship from Peach State Federal Credit Union that helped five culinary students make their journey to a national competition this weekend.

The students earned top honors in the 2018 Hospitality Foundation of Georgia ProStart State Championship while their teacher, Chef Simone Byron, won the 2018 ProStart Teacher of the Year honor.

After the wins, Byron and her students were selected as representatives of Georgia for the national competition in Providence, R.I., that took place this weekend.

The students received some financial support from the school, but in order to attend the competition needed a sponsor to cover the remaining expenses. In early April, they presented plans to Peach State’s executive team and formally requested the sponsorship.

“The students do an excellent job providing ca-

Good News from Schools

Education.

The program, in its 19th year, recognizes the efforts of teachers, administrators, parents, students and community leaders who have made music education part of the school curriculum.

Overall, the NAMM Foundation has designated 583 of the nation’s 13,600 school districts this year.

“The schools and districts we recognize this

year — both new and repeat honorees — represent a diverse group of urban, rural and suburban districts and demographics,” said Mary Luehrsen of The NAMM Foundation. “Along with a strong commitment to music education, there are two common traits that each program shares: consistent funding that anchors music education as part of the core curriculum and music

programs that are located in communities where music education is viewed as a jewel of the school system.”

The BCME program evaluates schools and districts based on funding, staffing of highly qualified teachers, commitment to standards and access to music instruction.

GCPS students to represent state at national business leaders conference Gwinnett County Public Schools announced on Monday that 11 students qualified to represent the school district and Georgia at the 2018 Future Business Leaders of America National Leadership Conference.

Individuals qualified after placing first or second in the FBLA state competition, which took place February for middle school students and March for high schoolers.

Not only would people not fear those screens, they would actually welcome them, even pay for the privilege.

Ever so slowly, though, people are starting to get woke. We now know that Big Tech companies like Facebook and Google have been collecting and selling our private data for years — or in some cases, giving it away.

We also know that certain apps on our phones and other devices can surreptitiously record our conversations, then use algorithms to search for key words and phrases.

Sounds like something right out of “1984,” doesn’t it? Yet it’s true. Haven’t you

ever noticed that, after talking about buying new shoes you get a bunch of pop-up ads for shoes? Or if you mention that you’d love to go to Florida, you get ads for vacation packages?

If you think that’s a coincidence, Winston Smith might have a job for you writing press releases down at the Ministry of Truth.

So what do we do about it? Well, the first step is to go online — very carefully — and find the instructions for turning off all the microphone- and camera-enabling apps on your devices.

Beyond that, the best thing all of us can do is to start weaning ourselves from

Facebook and Google. Yes, I know that won’t be easy.

Fortunately, there are viable alternatives.

For example, instead of Google, try using DuckDuckGo. Their slogan is, “The search engine that doesn’t track you.” No, it’s not as big as Google — yet.

But give it time. The more people use it, the bigger it will get.

The same is true for the new Facebook alternative, MeWe, which bills itself as “the world’s privacy network.” I’m gradually migrating all my Facebook stuff over to my new MeWe profile. I plan, eventually, to abandon Facebook altogether

We’re so pleased to be a part of this important step in their education,” Peach State Federal Credit Union President and CEO Marshall Boutwell said. “We know that they will make us proud.”

Three Collins Hill High School students — Fabritzzio Cabrejos, Nolan O’Harra and Shalu Patel qualified after placing first in the Georgia FBLA Monopoly tournament.

Peachtree Ridge High School students James Lee and Sanisha Shah were the final two students to qualify for the national conference, which will be held from June 27 to July 1 in Baltimore.

— and good riddance.

All of this change will be slow and, no doubt, somewhat painful. But we’ve gotten ourselves in this Orwellian mess through our own indolence and apathy.

As a free people, it’s past time we extricated ourselves from the self-induced tyranny of Big Tech.

Rob Jenkins is a local college professor and freelance writer. He is the author of four books, including “Family Man: The Art of Surviving Domestic Tranquility,” available at Liberty Books in downtown Lawrenceville.

It’s time to break free from the tyranny of Big Tech When my dad told me, at age 14, that I wasn’t old enough to read George Orwell’s iconic dystopian novel “1984,” that sealed the deal. I had to read it, and I did. That would have been around 1975.

What I found most chilling about the book was the idea that, in the future, homes would feature twoway screens, through which Big Brother could both spread propaganda and spy on individuals. Back in 1949, Orwell could not possibly have known how prophetic that was.

Nor could he have anticipated that Big Brother would turn out to be Big Technol-

Rob Jenkins ogy, not Big Government — although perhaps, given the recent revelation that Facebook worked directly with the Obama campaign, it might be more accurate to say Big Tech in collusion with Big Government.

Something else Orwell could not have anticipated:

“It is easy to sit and drive by somewhere and say, ‘Someone should do something about that,’” Mayor Pro Tem Barbara Bender said. “Sometimes it’s got to be you.

Thank you, Mr. Livsey, for everything you do.”

Livsey’s efforts have raised awareness of the ugliness of litter

annually in 2007.

A Vietnam War veteran, George said he loves to fly and has become friendly with some of the passengers who rely on his generosity to get to lifesaving medical care.

Mercy Flight Southeast serves passengers in five southeastern states as well as the Bahamas, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

SUWANEE Suwanee Police invite residents to Coffee with a Cop In an effort to improve communication and build relationships, Suwanee Police Chief Mike Jones, Capt. Cass Mooney and Capt.

Shane Edmisten invite the residents of the city of Suwanee to join them for a cup of coffee and some conversation from 7 to 9 a.m. Tuesday at Brown Bag Deli and Cafe, 340 Town Center Ave. “It’s important for our officers to be out in the community when we are not involved in traditional police work,” Jones said. “It’s a unique opportunity to discuss what is going on in both the department and the community, as well as build relationships with the people we serve.”

Launched in California in 2011 as a way for the Hawthorne Police Department to interact more successfully with the citizens they served each day, Coffee with a Cop events are now being hosted in all 50 states. It is considered to be one of the most successful community oriented policing programs across the country.

The key to Coffee with a Cop’s growing success is that it opens the door for interactions outside of the crisis situations that typically bring law enforcement officers and community members together.

That clothesline was tough just like Mama When Hurricane Irma unleashed her callousness on the Rondarosa, it was hard to see the trees, decades old, fall.

“You can plant more trees,” folks said.

“But you don’t understand. I’ll never live long enough to see them that large again,” I replied, teary-eyed.

I mourned them because I treasure trees.

It was Mama’s backyard, though, that held the greatest disappointment. The top half of an enormous tree had fallen and bent over one end of her clothes line.

Daddy believed in building to last forever whatever he built. Even as a child, I knew that Daddy was the little pig who built the sturdy house and turned to the other two pigs and said, “You can

Ronda Rich huff and you can puff but you can’t blow my house down.”

Sure enough, Daddy built that kind of house.

When a broken plumbing line flooded the house several years back and caused extreme damage, the insurance adjustor said, “If this house wasn’t brick and if it didn’t have such solid walls, it’d be better for us to

total loss this.” Daddy had built the walls with concrete blocks. He loved cement. He either did the work himself or stood side-by-side and worked hand-in-hand with the electrician, plumber or brick mason.

When he placed a 30-foot tall windmill in the yard, he set the four legs in concrete so deep that it never crossed my mind that the forceful winds might tumble it. I was right. It did not sway for a moment.

So, perhaps, you can imagine the kind of 20-footlong clothesline that Daddy built for Mama in 1957.

He took iron pipe about four inches in diameter and welded two-inch steel pipe to the top to form a T. He made three of these, placing two on the end and one in

the center. From end to end, he ran three rows of a heavy gauge wire, coated in a heavy plastic. Deep into the earth, he thrust the T-shaped poles and, of course, poured cement around them.

Mama loved her clothesline. It was always a source of pride to her. She would hang her clothes out in a precise order. Sheets first, towels next, dresses and aprons followed. On the backside where no one could see except for the cows in the pasture went slips and underwear because she was of a generation almost forgotten – one where you didn’t show girdles and panties.

Then, always without fail, Mama would step back, eye the wash and say proudly, “Now, that’s a pretty wash.”

She was proud to have sheets and towels. It was a long way from what she had in the mountains from whence she had come.

“You can tell a person by the kind of wash they have on the line,” she was fond of saying. A person with a sense of decency hung the underwear in the back, for example.

Oh, the summer days I recall when Mama would say, “Run get the wash in.

It’s comin’ up a cloud.” The screen door would bang behind me as I ran to gather the clothes, sometimes even outrunning the rain.

I always wanted a clothes line. Mama would gather her sheets up after bringing them in, hold them to her nose, take a deep breath and sigh.

“Oh, how I love the fresh

smell of sheets hung outside to dry.”

When I set about building a new house, Mama said wryly, “And, I hope you find a good place to have a clothesline because you have always wanted one.”

Well, I never put a clothesline up because I had Mama’s. Then a mighty tree fell and bent to a 40-degree angle the iron post. I don’t know how we can ever straighten it but we will try.

The post in the ground did not move an inch. The concrete held solid and admirably. Daddy would be proud.

But not a bit surprised.

The importance of engaging emotionally

540410-4

Once you get past food and shelter, human beings have two fundamental needs — connection and meaning.

We all want to be part of something bigger than ourselves, and we want to know our work counts for something. These two needs transcend cultures, age, race and sex. If you want people to care about your company or your cause, you need to find a way to help them fulfill these two fundamental needs. Too often, leaders proclaim goals without providing a framework for emotional engagement.

Here’s how to use connection and meaning to improve engagement: 1. Start with connection Connection is about our need to be aligned with others. From an evolutionary perspective, we don’t do well in the wild on our own.

Humans are hardwired with an innate need to belong. We crave connection. Our survival depends on it. Isolation is devastating to our brain.

It makes us feel like an outsider; it’s threatening to our primal sense of belonging.

When an organizational culture feels like an everyman-for-himself rat race, people go into survival mode. They focus on selfpreservation instead of collective success. It’s critical for leaders to collective goal that include stories about the team coming together.

2. The second big human need is meaning We want to know our individual contribution counts.

The more meaning people attach to their job, or a task, the more effort they will put into doing.

Here’s an example of how to add connection and meaning into an IT project.

Imagine speaking to programmers, who have to write code for lots of processes.

The leader could say, “We need all this done by next week. Put your heads down and crank it out.” The expectations are clear.

If the leader wants to leverage connection and meaning, they could say, “This project will transform daily business life for our

Forget Perfect

Lisa McLeod customers,” then pull out a picture of one customers, put her on the wall and say, “This is who we’re doing this for. We’re going to save her an hour each day with these system improvements.”

The message is now framed as a group effort (connection) in the service of helping others (meaning).

Which one of these is more appealing to you?

Now take it a step further and imagine you are a programmer, and after hearing this framing, your boss says something specific to you.

“Rachel, all that code you wrote helps this become seamless for the client. I’m so glad you are part of this team, it’s exciting.”

How do you feel about your job now? The words of the leader matter. When you let people know directly and often, exactly how their work is impacting the project, they engage in a more meaningful way. This goes beyond simply thanking them for their deliverables.

Instead, be clear about the impact they have on the larger whole.

A word of caution here: Trying to rally people around a financial goal doesn’t work, at least not long term.

Making more money for stockholders, doesn’t provide meaning and connection for team members.

Instead, spell out the impact your initiative will have on real, live people.

How does it help members, customers or colleagues? How is this work making a difference?

You belong and you matter. That’s what we all want to hear. When you infuse your projects with meaningful language, people get engaged and stay engaged.

PET OF THE WEEK

Visit us online at www.gwinnettdailypost.com

We are pleased to introduce Abbie, a beautiful 3 1/2-year-old Mastiff mix.

Though Abbie is a big girl, she is perfect for someone who is looking for a dog that is not in a hurry. Abbie is the type of dog that would love to stroll through town, stopping to smell the spring flowers as she moseys along. She’s a very laid back, sociable dog.

Abbie has been fully vetted — spayed, dewormed, up-to-date on flea/tick/heartworm prevention meds and vaccinations. She’s microchipped, and comes with 30 days of emergency pet insurance.

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.
