Two cities to hold parades for MLK Day By Joshua Sharpe
joshua.sharpe @gwinnettdailypost.com
The legacy of civil rights icon Martin Luther King Jr. will be honored in Lawrenceville and Snellville on Monday morning. The United Ebony Society of Gwinnett is hosting the 15th annual celebration for King’s memory in the county seat, starting with a parade leaving from the Gwinnett Justice and Administration Center at 9:30 a.m. and ending at Moore Middle School. In Snellville, the city’s fourth annual “march” for the legend starts at 10 a.m. at New Jerusalem Baptist Church and finishes up with a turkey dinner at South Gwinnett High School. For the Lawrenceville parade, the society is using the theme, “Uniting in Faith and Perseverance: Celebrating 15 Years in Gwinnett,” commemorating the event’s ruby anniversary of keeping King’s memory alive.

LAWRENCEVILLE — Emerging technologies in medicine and engineering use robots in certain aspects of the job. As those technologies increase, so does the need for qualified people to work with every aspect of the robot. Likewise, robotics activities have increased in schools across the nation. And Georgia is no different. Elementary and middle school students from Gwinnett, Cobb, Forsyth and Carroll Counties competed in the Super Regional of the Georgia First Lego League Saturday at Creekland Middle School. “You’ve got people cheering about Lego robots,” said judge Billy Sayers,

CID crime prevention initiatives paying off
According to recently released statistics, crime in the Gwinnett Village CID area has decreased significantly since the implementation of a targeted crime prevention program. (Special graphic)

In 2007, the year after the Gwinnett Village Community Improvement District (CID) was formed, officials voted unanimously to create a Targeted Enforcement Zone (TEZ) program to provide additional security for commercial properties within the district. Crime statistics released this week show the program is having a posi-
tive effect in the district. Robberies, according to data provided by the Gwinnett County Police Department, are down 37 percent from 2013. Burglaries and motor vehicle thefts have declined by 14 and 46 percent respectively. “These stats are the lowest crime numbers this area has ever seen,” said Chuck Warbington, executive director for the Gwinnett Village CID, in a a

three teenagers are accused of attempting to enter and pilfer from inside Dacula’s Apalachee Heritage subdivision. “Three juvenile suspects attempted to enter approximately 300 vehicles in the neighborhood,” Gwinnett County police spokeswoman Cpl. Michele Pihera said of the spree, which took place between Dec. 21 and Jan. 2. “Numerous unlocked vehicles were entered. In one instance, the suspects went into the victim’s garage to enter a vehicle and stole addi-
tional items from the garage.” “The suspects,” Pihera continued, “may have also slashed tired of vehicles when they could not find valuables inside.” All three suspects were arrested on Thursday and each charged with a litany of crimes, including 22 counts of entering auto, two counts of burglary, five counts of criminal trespass and four counts of second-degree criminal damage to property. Pihera said two of the suspects lived near Apalachee Heritage but not in it.

All that’s left is more fliers — and billboards. As volunteers continued canvassing the Buford area with fliers this week, the family announced that electronic billboards pleading for tips had gone up in Gwinnett, Hall and Forsyth counties, “even one at Spaghetti Junction.” “This is guaranteed to get the message out to a very wide audience,” the Nash family wrote on the “Kelly Nash Missing” Facebook page. Nash, a senior at Georgia Gwinnett College, was last seen at about 4 a.m. on Jan. 5 when his girlfriend woke up and, finding him playing video games on the couch, told him to get some sleep. He was gone when his girlfriend woke up about three hours later, his cellphone, wallet, keys and car left behind. There has been no indication of foul play. Gwinnett County police spokeswoman Cpl. Michele Pihera said Friday that the case is still active but ground and water searches have been suspended “pending credible information on a specific area to search.” Investigators continue to “follow up with credible leads.” Meanwhile, the Nash family is still soliciting

NORCROSS — “Two or three” armed robbers are on the lam after a Friday morning incident in the parking lot of a Norcross Kroger store. Gwinnett County police spokeswoman Cpl. Michele Pihera said authorities responded to the Kroger at 6050 Singleton Road at about 11:10 a.m. Friday. According to victim and witness statements, the unidentified suspects approached the victim, a 26-year-old Lilburn man, in the parking lot and brandished a firearm. At least one shot was fired and the suspects —

The gunshot was fired in the “general direction” of the victim but he was unharmed, Pihera said. “We do not have a suspect description at this time,” Pihera said, “but we have an investigator inside the Kroger talking with not only the victim, but a few witnesses as well.” Late Friday afternoon, police released surveillance photos showing one
female suspect. The woman is heavyset and wearing a bright yellow head wrap and black jacket. Shaun Williams didn’t witness the robbery but was in the parking lot when the victim pulled up in a latemodel BMW SUV with vanity license plates. Williams said he was shopping when he “heard a commotion” outside. “It makes you feel like you can’t even be safe going to the store in broad daylight,” he said.

Exercise, diet can reduce risk DEAR DR. ROACH: I recently had a heart scan, and the calcium score for one of my arteries was 145. My results showed two lesions in the left anterior descending artery, with a calcium score of 154.4. The other arteries’ calcium scores were 0 to 6. I’m 57. My father had several heart attacks and died with the last at 57. I never smoked, and my blood pressure is 130/80 on treatment. How serious is this, and can it be reversed with a better diet and more exercise? — Anon. ANSWER: Coronary artery scanning is a way to look for coronary artery disease without performing a stress test or a catheterization of the heart. It uses a CT scanner to look for calcium in the walls of the arteries in the heart. Not everyone with detectable calcium in the artery (any score above zero) has blockages. The higher the score, the more likely that there is a blockage. In men 50-60, the average score with no blockages was 56, and the average score for men with blockages was 217. Your result is in a gray zone, where we can’t tell for sure if you have a blockage. Your likelihood of having a blockage is higher than the average 57-year-old man, and about four times higher than if you had a score of zero. But your specific question is about diet and exercise, and I am happy to say that most people can indeed significantly reduce heart disease risk through better diet. The optimum diet for reducing risk for heart disease is hotly debated, but most authorities agree that these are key components of a heart-healthy diet: —Lots of fruits and vegetables: —Very little or no refined grains; any grain consumed should be whole grain; —Two to three servings of protein-rich foods daily, favoring nuts, legumes and fish, and limiting or eliminating red meat; —Minimal or no refined sugar. There has been good evidence published that healthy diets, including the Mediterranean diet I discussed last week, the DASH diet and vegetarian diets, are associated with lower heart disease and death rates than a “standard” diet.

NATION Authorities hunt teens suspected of crime spree Teenage sweethearts from Kentucky who ran away from home two weeks ago are suspected of carrying out a multi-state crime spree, stealing several vehicles and cashing stolen checks, a law enforcement official said on Saturday. Cheyenne Phillips, 13, and boyfriend Dalton Hayes, 18, of Grayson County, in western Kentucky, disappeared around Jan. 3, when Phillips’ father reported her missing, the Grayson County Sheriff’s Office said. Over the past two weeks, the pair are suspected of stealing three vehicles, two with firearms inside, using phony checks and destroying property, Grayson County Sheriff Norman Chaffins said Saturday. “I believe they are a danger. Not because they are going to take the guns and go out in a blaze of glory or anything like that,” Chaffins said. “But the longer they are on the run, the more dangerous the situations becomes.” — From wire reports
Pope to end Asian trip with huge Mass By Philip Pullella and Rosemarie Francisco Reuters
MANILA — Pope Francis wraps up his Asian trip on Sunday with an outdoor Mass expected to draw one of the largest crowds in Philippine history. Organizers say as many as six million people may attend the afternoon service at Manila’s Rizal Park, more than the some five million who flocked to a Mass by Pope John Paul 20 years ago in Asia’s largest Catholic country. Faithful began arriving at the sprawling park on Saturday night to get good places and police expect the crowd to flow over into surrounding areas. The pope will hold morning meetings with religious leaders and young people at a Manila university before the Mass, the last event of a trip that began last Tuesday in Sri Lanka. The Philippines has laid on the largest security operation in its history, with about 50,000 police and soldiers on hand. The Vatican said Francis will dedicate the Mass in part to the victims of Ty-

phoon Haiyan, which killed at least 6,300 people, left a million others homeless and displaced four million when it ravaged parts of the country in 2013. On Saturday, Francis donned a plastic poncho against gusting winds and driving rain in order to keep a promise to comfort survivors in Tacloban,
ground zero of Haiyan, but a new storm forced him to leave four hours earlier than planned. The effects of tropical storm Mekkhala, which hit the Tacloban area with gusts of up to 80 mph while the pope was there, may be felt in the capital during the Mass. At the Mass in Tacloban,
Francis put aside his prepared homily and delivered a very personal, emotional message of comfort to survivors, who stood amid puddles in mud-soaked fields and along roadsides. He told them that he had vowed to make the trip in November 2013 when he saw reports of the devastation Haiyan had caused.
WORLD Suspect in Canada shooting found dead
TORONTO — The suspect in the shootings of two Canadian police officers in an Alberta casino on Saturday was found dead after being tracked to an unoccupied home, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police said. The RCMP said the suspect’s body was found when they entered the residence in a rural area east of St. Albert, Alberta. The police did not disclose the cause of death but said they did not speak with the suspect or fire their weapons during their efforts to arrest him there. The wounded officers are being treated in hospital. The RCMP said Constable David Matthew Wynn, 42, is in grave condition while Auxiliary Constable Derek Walter Bond, 49, remains in serious but stable condition. The officers were investigating a stolen vehicle when they were shot. Police said earlier the suspect, who fled the scene, was a white man aged 25 to 35. — From wire reports

•From Page 1A “We had a plan for exactly what we were going to do first (which consisted of collecting three keys),” Mai said. “We had it programed in first and ready to go once the clock started.” The best round a team had was their final score in the event. “We wanted to take some of the pressure off of them,” said Bob Kraushaar, event organizer and robotics team coach at Creekland Middle. Along with the performance, the teams also had
the 100th day of school all year, as Henley has read the “Zero the Hero” book on the morning announcements regularly throughout the school year. For many students, they started the school year being able to count to around 20, and now they’re able to reach 100 and beyond. “It gives us an opportunity to celebrate being in school for 100 days of great learning, and gives them an opportunity to practice it over and over and over throughout the day,” Alcova kindergarten teacher Stacey Willis said. “We look at fast ways to count to 100, such as by 2s, 5s and 10s. They get an opportunity to be creative and have fun at the same time, so it’s a lot of fun, an exciting day.” Fellow teacher Beth Peterson said the excitement in the kids’ eyes is unparalleled, and seeing them count to 100 in several ways and be proud of themselves is a highlight. Peterson’s students began
the day filling out a number chart, later worked on 100 sight words and then enjoyed cupcakes. Students also have to show that they’re “100 days smarter,” which was displayed on a sign outside Peterson’s classroom door. “Seeing their growth and we show that all day long,” Peterson said. “It’s just fun to see the excitement in their faces. … It’s amazing to see the math growth and maturity.” Caden Robinson-Foy was in a classroom that counted coins in various combinations to reach 100. And he dressed as a 100-year-old, complete with a cane, suspenders and reading glasses. Being 100 years old, Caden said he felt old and his arm hurt from carrying the cane. Naomi Newsome said when she was 5 years old, she could only count to 10, and now that’s 6 years old, she can count to 100. What’s next? “About 1 million,” she said.
Robots to go through a series of questions from judges about their design, programming and values. “In the performance part, we got to see what their robot could do, but we also wanted to know the ‘why’ of their robot,” Kraushaar said. “We wanted to know why the robots were designed the way they were and why they were programed the way they were. “With 32 teams in the competition (and over 300 students), no two robots are going to be the same in design or programming.
That’s the great thing about this competition.” Kraushaar said part of the judging on programming was to see if the robot was reprogrammable and repeatable, adding that the judges wanted to know if the robots would repeat some of the same movements. Le said it was the programming part which got him involved in the robotics team, adding that he wanted to challenge himself. “I needed a challenge and this has given it to me,” he said. As a judge, Sayers said it
was important to him to see the team aspect. “I don’t want to see one kid doing all of the work,” he said. “This is a team competition and it needs to be treated that way.” In the end, Sayers said seeing elementary school kids going toe-to-toe with middle-school kids is exciting. “This is a chance for them to compete on the same stage,” he said. “Some elementary teams do better than the middle schoolers, showing that anyone can be successful.”

Obama says: Charlie who?
WASHINGTON — On Sunday, at the great Paris rally, the whole world was Charlie. By Tuesday, the veneer of solidarity was exposed as tissue thin. It began dissolving as soon as the real, remaining Charlie Hebdo put out its postmassacre issue featuring a Muhammad cover that, as The New York Times put it, “reignited the debate pitting free speech against religious sensitivities.” Again? Already? Had not 4 million marchers and 44 foreign leaders just turned out on the streets of France to declare “No” to intimidation, and pledging solidarity, indeed identification with (“Je suis CharCharles lie”), a satirical weekly Krauthammer specializing in the most outrageous and often tasteless portrayals of Muhammad? And yet, within 48 hours, the new Charlie Hebdo issue featuring the image of Muhammad — albeit a sorrowful, indeed sympathetic Muhammad — sparked new protests, denunciations and threats of violence, which in turn evinced another round of doubt and self-flagellation in the West about the propriety and limits of free expression. Hopeless. As for President Obama, he never was Charlie, not even for those 48 hours. From the day of the massacre, he has been practically invisible. At the interstices of various political rallies, he issued bits of muted, mealy-mouthed boilerplate. Followed by the now-famous absence of any U.S. representative of any stature at the Paris rally, an abdication of moral and political leadership for which the White House has already admitted error. But this was no mere error of judgment or optics or, most absurdly, of communications in which we are supposed to believe that the president was not informed by staff about the magnitude, both actual and symbolic, of the demonstration he ignored. (He needed to be told?) On the contrary, the no-show, following the near silence, precisely reflected the president’s profound ambivalence about the very idea of the war on terror. Obama began his administration by purging the phrase from the lexicon of official Washington. He has ever since shuttled between saying that (a) the war must end because of the damage “keeping America on a perpetual wartime footing” was doing to us, or (b) the war has already ended, as he suggested repeatedly during the 2012 campaign, with bin Laden dead and al-Qaida “on the run.” Hence his call in a major address at the National Defense University to “refine and ultimately repeal” Congress’ 2001 Authorization of the Use of Military Force, the very legal basis for the war on terror. Hence his accelerating release of Gitmo inmates, fully knowing that about 30 percent will return to the battlefield. (Five more releases were announced Wednesday.) Which is why, since, oh, the Neolithic era, POWs tend to be released after a war is over. Paris shows that this war is not. On the contrary. As it rages, it is entering an ominous third phase. The first, circa 9/11, involved sending Middle Eastern terrorists abroad to attack the infidel West. Then came the lone wolf — local individuals inspired by foreign jihadists launching one-off attacks, as seen most recently in Québec, Ottawa and Sydney. Paris marks Phase 3: coordinated commando strikes by homegrown native-speaking Islamists activated and instructed from abroad. (Al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula has claimed responsibility for the Charlie Hebdo killings, while the kosher-grocery shooter proclaimed allegiance to the Islamic State.) They develop and flourish in Europe’s no-go zones where Sharia reigns and legitimate state authorities dare not tread. To call them lone wolves, as did our hapless attorney general, is to define jihadism down. It makes them the equivalent of the pitiable, mentally unstable Sydney hostage taker. The Paris killers were well-trained, thoroughly radicalized, clear-eyed jihadist warriors. They cannot be dismissed as lone loons. Worse, they represent a growing generation of alienated European Muslims whose sheer number is approaching critical mass. The war on terror 2015 is at a new phase with a new geography. At the core are parallel would-be caliphates: in Syria and Iraq, the Islamic State; in central Africa, now spilling out of Nigeria into Cameroon, a near-sovereign Boko Haram; in the badlands of Yemen, AQAP, the most dangerous of all al-Qaida affiliates. And beyond lie not just a cast of mini-caliphates embedded in the most ungovernable parts of the Third World from Libya to Somalia to the borderlands of Pakistan, but an archipelago of no-go Islamist islands embedded in the heart of Europe. This is serious. In both size and reach it is growing. Our president will not say it. Fine. But does he even see it? Charles Krauthammer’s email address is letters@charleskrauthammer.com.

Public education circus continues Wow. Education seems to be all over the news in the state of Georgia this week, and I haven’t seen a lot of positive comments. Go figure. In Rockdale County, where I live, School Superintendent Rich Autry, whom I love, announced that he was “reluctant to implement” the long awaited $2,500 bonuses promised to the top 10 percent of Rockdale teachers when the school system became part of the federal government’s “Race to the Top” gimmick, designed to give lip service to promoting excellence in education by rewarding the top teachers. I agree 100 percent with the superintendent on this decision, and not because the top teachers do not deserve more pay. The problem is the way the state and federal government want to go about determining those top teachers. I have said this a million times and I will say it another million if the Lord lets me stay here on Earth long enough. Test scores alone don’t measure teacher competence or student achievement. Yes, I meant to shout. Maybe if enough educators shout it often enough and loudly enough someone in the ivory towers in Atlanta and Washington, D.C., will hear it. Not that they would care. Now understand something. I would have loved to have been paid on the basis of my test scores throughout my teaching career, because my scores were always among the top 10 percent. But I know a lot of teachers who
for everybody. In Gwinnett County certain teachers are up in arms over the new AP U.S. History curriculum. They say that the curriculum not only waters down the history of this great nation but that the curriculum and materials used to teach it have Darrell a decidedly liberal and antiHuckaby American slant. They only say that because it is true. Ameriworked just as hard as I did can Exceptionalism is a dirty and achieved just as much phrase in most AP circles, the over the course of the school Declaration and Bill of Rights term whose students would are just documents, and much never make the scores that my more attention is paid to our students made. In today’s con- warts as a nation than our acvoluted system AP students complishments. take the same state tests as the The College Board has lower level students. It is a lot been all about making money easier to teach the basics to for years.

Yeah, good luck with that. He has cut programs that everyone could stay until after the first major test and and short-changed teachers the six students who scored and presided over declining the lowest would transfer to schools for four years. Now, all of a sudden, he is going to an advanced class. One of the make education his focus. Let students who had to transfer me know how that works out was a great kid named Joey.
When my son received his master’s degree from UGA, Joey was in the same ceremony, getting a Ph.D. in genetic engineering, or some such field. Yes, the bar has been significantly lowered in AP classes. The College Board realized that they could make more money if more students took their classes and the subsequent tests and bought their study guides. They began to encourage schools to expand their courses to everyone. They released studies showing that students who took AP classes in high school performed better in college (Duh!) and they began rewarding schools for increasing the number of minority students taking classes, regardless of the grades they might have made on the year-end exams. Now classes are overcrowded, instruction is watered down, and the students who would truly benefit from the AP experience don’t get it because, regardless of what people might try to sell you, teachers teach to the mean. If they maintain the highest standards and let the 40 percent of the students who don’t belong in the class fail, they don’t teach AP any longer. We will have to take up the problems with trying to teach math, which is also in the news, another day. People often say to me about these issues, “You are retired. Why do you care?” My response is, “You have to live in society. Why do you not care?” Selah.
Ga. medical marijuana mission Allen Peake is a man on a mission. The five-term Republican state representative from Macon is the driving force behind proposed legislation to legalize medical marijuana in Georgia. He may succeed this year after suffering a setback in 2014 when the House and Senate got into a bit of political brinksmanship at the last minute and failed to pass his bill, which had sailed through the House with only four negative votes. Undaunted, Peake is back again with H.B. 1. He has the support of Gov. Nathan Deal (albeit with a few conditions) and House Speaker David Ralston. And with an Atlanta Journal-Constitution poll showing 84 percent of Georgians favor passage of medical marijuana legislation, I suspect he has the Senate’s attention, as well. I have been around the political block more than a few times and I can quickly discern public pandering from genuine passion. Allen Peake is passionate about this issue. Deeply passionate. I asked him how he became involved. He said a mutual friend called him at the beginning of the legislative session last year and asked him to talk to a friend of hers whose 4-year-old daughter was having as many as 200 seizures a day. The mother was going to have to take her daughter to
Dick Yarbrough Colorado where a derivative of marijuana seems to have an impact on seizure disorders. “I told her to have her friend email me which she did,” he said. “When I heard from the mother, I politely suggested she contact her own state representative. She wrote back and said, ‘I did. You are my state representative.’” Touché. Rep. Peake then met little Haleigh Cox. “It was the first week of the session,” he remembers, “and she was in the hospital in ICU. That’s when it hit me. I have a 4-yearold granddaughter. I would crawl over broken glass to do whatever it took for her to have access to the medicine she needed.” For Haleigh, that medicine is cannabis oil, derived from the marijuana plant, but which doesn’t create the high that recreational users seek. In order to get access to cannabis oil treatment, families have to split up with the mother and child moving
out of state and leaving loved ones behind. It’s disruptive, traumatic, expensive and, Peake said, “It’s crazy. Why are we forcing Georgia families to have to do this? That is what set me on a mission. I didn’t care what it took or what it cost me politically, I was determined that we were going to pass legislation that would keep families from being torn apart and that would provide some relief and hope for these children. So off we went.” Did he ever. In addition to his legislative efforts, Peake established Journey for Hope, a charitable fund to provide financial assistance for those families. “It takes about $15,000 per family for moving expenses plus six months of rent,” he says, “and we have already moved 12 families to Colorado.” There are still some hurdles to overcome this session if Peake’s bill is to pass. Deal wants a committee established to recommend how cannabis oil would be produced and distributed in Georgia and the findings presented to the General Assembly by the end of the year. Peake says he is OK with that. If H.B. 1 becomes law, the measure would ensure decriminalization immediately for Georgia families seeking medical cannabis. They would be able to go to another state to legally obtain the
medicine and then come back home without fear of being prosecuted. “Families now in Colorado will be able to come home immediately,” Peake says. “They will likely have to go back every three to six months for the next year-and-a-half to pick up medicine, but they will be protected in Georgia for possession.” Not having to underwrite living expenses in Colorado would mean Journey of Hope would be able to assist even more families financially in the future. By the way, does the treatment work? Peake says children who have suffered 150-200 seizures a day are experiencing as little as one a day and sometimes will go a week without a seizure once they have access to the medicine. Since Rep. Allen Peake began his effort to legalize medical marijuana, three children who were at the Capitol last year with their families to lobby for passage of his bill have died. “I won’t stand by and let that continue to happen,” he says quietly. I believe him. The man is on a mission. You can reach Dick Yarbrough at yarb2400@ bellsouth.net; at P.O.

The 5-foot-7 Mason, though, put her stamp on the game early with nine first-quarter points and never let up. “Taylor has the potential to be as good as she wants to be,” said Hembree, who has won six state championships while coaching the likes of Maya Moore and Diamond DeShields. “She can hit the big shot, go in there and get a rebound, make the right pass.

Packers will have to solve Seattle’s top-ranked defense The Sports Xchange The Seattle Seahawks opened defense of their Super Bowl championship by thrashing the Green Bay Packers in Week 1. Now, the only thing standing between the Seahawks and a return trip to the Super Bowl is Green Bay, which pays a visit to No. 1 seed Seattle today in the NFC Championship Game. The Packers, who were limited to only 255 total yards in the 20-point season-opening loss, must find a way to solve the Seahawks’ top-ranked defense with star quarterback Aaron Rodgers dealing with a torn calf. While a hobbled Rodgers rallied Green Bay past the Dallas Cowboys 26-21 last weekend, Seattle rolled to its seventh consecutive victory win a 31-17 win over the Carolina Panthers. The Seahawks are surrendering an average of eight points during the winning streak and have permitted one fourth-quarter touchdown in that span. “We’re going to have to be efficient against them,” Rodgers said. “They’re a
Running back Eddie Lacy was limited in practice Thursday but has rushed for at least 97 yards in six of the last seven games, while Green Bay’s defense has held eight of the past nine opponents to 21 points or fewer.
won in the playoffs.” Russell Wilson threw for 268 yards and three scores last week to improve to 25-2 at home (playoffs included) and has the luxury of handing off to Marshawn Lynch, who gashed the Packers for 110 yards and two TDs en route to his fourth straight 1,200-yard season. The “Legion of Boom” secondary made its presence felt last week with Kam Chancellor’s 90-yard interception return for a score.
ABOUT THE SEAHAWKS (13-4): Although Seattle gave up two TDs in a game last week for only the second time since midNovember, it is the first team to lead the league in fewest points (15.9) and yards per game (267.1) in back-to-back seasons since the Chicago Bears in 1985-86. “Guys are doing whatever it takes to win,” Sherman said. “Guys are playing for one another, they don’t care about stats. Championships are
EXTRA POINTS 1. The Seahawks can become the 12th team to reach the Super Bowl after winning it the previous season and first since New England (2003-04). 2. Rodgers has the highest postseason passer rating (108.2) in road games and is second overall (105.3) to Wilson (109.6). 3. Green Bay is tied for the most road wins (10) in postseason history but Seattle has won eight straight playoff games at home.

great defense, they’ve got Pro Bowlers all over the place and they’re wellcoached.” ABOUT THE PACKERS (13-4): The left calf injury took away Rodgers’ mobility against Dallas, but he still
threw for 316 yards and three touchdowns, completing his final 10 passes and leading a pair of long touchdown drives in the comeback victory. Green Bay shied away from throwing at star cornerback Richard Sherman in Week 1 but it has ample
weapons with the wideout tandem of Jordy Nelson and Randall Cobb — a combined for 189 catches and 25 touchdowns during the regular season — along with rookie Davante Adams, who had seven catches for 117 yards and a TD versus the Cowboys.
Luck searching for first win against John Fox hired as New England in AFC championship Bears head coach The Sports Xchange Andrew Luck has guided the Indianapolis Colts to the playoffs in each of his first three seasons but the former No. 1 overall pick has one noticeable blotch on his resume — the inability to beat the New England Patriots. Luck will get a fourth crack at Tom Brady & Co. when the Colts travel to New England for today’s AFC Championship Game. The Patriots, bidding for their sixth Super Bowl in 14 seasons, have demolished the Colts by a combined 144-66 in the past three. New England, which rolled to a 42-20 victory at Indianapolis on Nov. 16, made postseason history by erasing a pair of 14-point deficits in last week’s 35-31 victory over Baltimore to advance to their fourth consecutive conference title game. “The Patriots are a great, great team,” Colts coach Chuck Pagano said. “Hall of Fame coach. Hall of Fame quarterback. We all know how hard it is to win there.” Indy is coming off an upset victory at Denver, knocking off Peyton Manning and the Broncos 24-13.

ABOUT THE COLTS (13-5): Although Luck had his string of three straight 300-yard postseason games halted and tossed a pair of interceptions, but he also had a pair of touchdown passes and spread the ball around as Indianapolis held the ball for 34 minutes. Running back Daniel “Boom” Herron has rushed for a touchdown in each of the two postseason wins while hauling in 18 receptions. T.Y. Hilton was the leading receiver during the regular season with 1,345 yards and has 10 catches in the postseason while tight ends Dwayne Allen and Coby Fleener each had
eight touchdown receptions. Indianapolis’ defense limited Manning to 211 yards and has surrendered an average of 11 points in its last three games since a 42-7 blowout loss at Dallas on Dec. 21. ABOUT THE PATRIOTS (13-4): New England set an NFL record for fewest rushing yards (14) in a postseason victory, but the ground game has sparked the past two victories against the Colts. Rookie Jonas Gray rumbled for 201 yards and four touchdowns in Week 11 while LeGarrette Blount steamrolled Indy for 166 yards and four scores in a 43-22 playoff win last sea-

son, but Gray was inactive last week and Blount had three carries for one yard. With no running game for which to speak, Brady threw for 367 yards and three TDs while also rushing for a score and tight end Rob Gronkowski had seven catches for 108 yards and a touchdown. Julian Edelman had 92 catches during the regular season and Danny Amendola had a pair of TD catches, but the Patriots’ defense was burned for four scoring passes. EXTRA POINTS 1. The Patriots are 16-4 at home in the postseason and can match Dallas and Pittsburgh for the most Super Bowl appearances with eight. 2. Luck is the first QB in history to pass for at least 250 yards in each of his first five playoff games. 3. Patriots coach Bill Belichick needs a win to surpass Tom Landry (20) for the most postseason victories.
The Sports Xchange The Chicago Bears named John Fox as their head coach, the team announced on Friday, just days after the turnaround specialist stepped down from the same role with the Denver Broncos. Fox, who mutually parted ways with Denver following last Sunday’s surprise playoff loss to the Indianapolis Colts, replaces Marc Trestman, who was fired after two seasons with the Bears. The Bears are hoping Fox, who led Denver to the playoffs in each of his four seasons, can revitalize a Chicago team that have not made the NFL playoffs since the 2010 season. Fox, who has 13 years of NFL head-coaching experience from stints with the Broncos and Carolina
Panthers, has earned a reputation for turning struggling teams into contenders. The Carolina Panthers went a dismal 1-15 during the NFL’s 2001 season before bringing in Fox, who led the team to a 7-9 record in his first year in charge and then to a Super Bowl berth the season after that. He took over a Broncos team that had missed the playoffs in five consecutive years and went 4-12 in the season before his arrival. Fox led the Broncos to four AFC West division titles and to their first Super Bowl game last year since 1999. But despite his regular season success with Denver, his teams came up short in the playoffs, losing last year’s Super Bowl and falling in the second round of the playoffs the other three seasons.
North Gwinnett’s C.J. Uzomah selected for Senior Bowl North Gwinnett grad C.J. Uzomah, who just finished his football career at Auburn, has been selected for the upcoming Senior Bowl showcase for NFL scouts next weekend in Mobile, Ala. He will join two other Gwinnett products selected to the event — Norcross’ Max Garcia of Florida and North’s Austin Shepherd, both offensive linemen. The 6-foot-4,
264-pound tight end caught a 29-yard pass in last weekend’s Medal of Honor Bowl in Charleston, S.C. As a senior, he had 11 catches for 145 yards and three touchdowns, bumping his career numbers to 29 catches for 435 yards and seven TDs in an offense that doesn’t feature the tight end prominently in the passing game. — From staff reports

NEW YEAR, NEW YOU
“
Fad diets commonly fail because it’s unrealistic to sustain them. They focus on the result and not the process. In the short term, they’re great because people see results quickly and they feel motivated, but when it wanes, they start to wane and old habits start to creep back in.”
— Cris Hartley, Director of Diabetes and Nutrition Education at Gwinnett Medical Center
“
You think of (eating) as a simple behavior but it’s a lot more complex. All kinds of factors contribute to eating habits, and many start developing in childhood. You really have to understand where your habit is coming from.”

— Rebecca Gomez, Clinical Health Psychologist and Behavioral Health Coordinator at Gwinnett Medical Center’s Center for Weight Managementy
“
Exercise is not a quick fix for any problem — it’s a long-term commitment. You have to stick with it to see improvement, and you can break it down into small goals, so it’s not as daunting a task. I would say setting goals is the key and rewarding yourself when you reach the goal.”
— Becky Thompson, Physical Therapist and Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist at Gwinnett Medical Center’s SportsRehab Facility

Healthy eating as a long-term lifestyle By Katie Morris
There are a variety of fad diets — The Atkins, the Hollywood Diet, the Baby Food Diet and the Cabbage Soup Diet just to name a few. It can be hard to keep track of them all, but they have one thing in common — a quick fix. Cris Hartley, the Director of Diabetes and Nutrition Education at Gwinnett Medical Center, said one of the biggest issues with fad diets is they’re unsustainable in the longterm. “Fad diets commonly
Three tips for eating healthy on a busy schedule • Planning is key. If you plan ahead, at the end of a busy day you’ll find you come out in a healthy way. • Keep a survival kit of healthy snacks like Greek yogurt, an apple with a tablespoon of almond butter or a small handful of nuts. • Plan to drink plenty of water. Most of us get dehydrated throughout the day, which causes us to reach for that mid-day snack.
fail because it’s unrealistic to sustain them. They focus on the result and not the process. In the short term, they’re great because people see results quickly and they feel motivated, but when it wanes, they start to wane and old habits start
to creep back in,” Hartley said. “It takes a lot of focus and work to change a habit. It can take about a year for a significant lifestyle change to occur.” According to Hartley, the Mediterranean Diet and the DASH diet are the best options out there

“Exercise isn’t a weight lose tool and doesn’t give you a license to go out and eat more. When you work out, you still have to eat the right foods. There’s a lot of science to it. If you have questions and don’t think you’re meeting your goals, a dietician can look at (your diet) and provide answers.”

at the moment because they have staying power. The Mediterranean Diet is heart-healthy eating plan based on typical foods and recipes of Mediterranean-style cooking. The DASH diet was developed to lower blood pressure without medication and includes an eating plan with fruits and vegetables, low-fat and nonfat dairy, along with nuts, beans and seeds. There are three traps people commonly fall into that can sabotage a long-term healthy diet — snacking, using exercise in place of healthy eating and treating yourself too often. Hartley said there are two categories of snacking: grazing and refueling. Grazing is grabbing food out of habit or boredom, and refueling is refilling the body with good nutrition due to legitimate hunger. “Snacks should be low
in calories but nutrient dense and contain a protein. It’s important to stay away from high-sugar and high-fat foods,” Hartley said. Hartley recommends snacking on Greek yogurt, an apple with a tablespoon of almond butter, avacado slices on whole grain crackers, or nuts, which are very high in omega fatty acids but also high in calories, so limit the portion size to six to eight nuts. Another common misconception is that adopting an exercise routine gives you a pass to eat whatever you want. “Exercise isn’t a weight lose tool and doesn’t give you a license to go out and eat more. When you work out, you still have to eat the right foods,” Hartley said. “There’s a lot of science to it. If you have questions and don’t think you’re meeting your goals, a dietician can look at (your diet) and provide answers.” It’s important to treat yourself and occasionally indulge, but the key is to keep it in moderation.
Hartley advises planning ahead of time how much and often to include your favorite foods. It’s also important to keep the portions small and take the time to be in the moment and really enjoy the treat. “There are so many reason for us to overindulge and treat ourselves. There are 200 days a year that can be considered special occasions, like birthdays and holidays, and that’s when we tend to overindulge” Hartley said. “You need to really think about it and define what occasionally means to you.” Hartley said it’s a good strategy to view healthy eating as meal planning rather than dieting and to come up with a plan that works for you. “Everyone is individual, you have to stop and ask yourself, ‘What will help me stay on track?’ You have to include things you enjoy,” Hartley said. “Working with a dietician can help you sort what is your way and lifestyle because no two people are the same. It’s not one size fits all.”

Getting
started
Finding an exercise routine for the long term
By Katie Morris
katie.morris @gwinnettdailypost.com
“It’s been a long day.” “I’m too tired.” “My favorite TV show is about to come on.” “I’ll just work out tomorrow.’ It’s easy to come up with excuses not to work out. The hardest part of starting any exercise routine is just getting started. Becky Thompson is a Physical Therapist and Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist at Gwinnett Medical Center’s SportsRehab Facility. She said there are numerous benefits to your overall mental and physical health gained from a regular exercise routine like stress relief, calorie burn, increased energy, strengthening of muscles and more. Thompson said there are two key factors for starting a fitness routine the novelty wears off. “For someone start— getting out the door ing a running routine, I and sticking with it once

recommend a run/walk interval program, which allows for beginners to
break up the distance into manageable pieces and also minimizes aches and pains. Jeffgalloway.com has some really good programs,” Thompson said. Important things to keep in mind when choosing an exercise routine are finding something you enjoy and then setting goals. “Exercise is not a quick fix for any problem — it’s a long-term commitment. You have to stick with it to see improvement,” Thompson said. “You can break it down into small goals, so it’s not as daunting a task. I would say setting goals is the key and rewarding yourself when you reach the goal.” Thompson also advises not to forget strength training because it’s an important part of a fitness routine that can reduce
the risk of injury. “Even if you are doing cardio, it is important to build a strong base of support in your core and pelvis. It is a key for prevention of injuries when you’re beginning a cardio routine,” Thompson said. “Strength training can build muscle and boast metabolism in as little as 30 minutes twice a week. A lot of people are unsure to start with strength training, and that’s where a personal trainer comes in handy.” It can be difficult to commit to any exercise routine, especially running because a lot of people convince themselves they have to become a marathon runner. Thompson said there are many health benefits gained from just a small amount of running, referring to
a recent study published Monday in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology. “Running as little as five minutes a day significantly lowers the risk of dying prematurely and adds three years to the average runners lifespan,” Thompson said. Thompson said to keep in mind that any amount of exercise is better than nothing at all. “If you can only exercise for 15 minutes a day, that’s better than nothing at all. Just getting a 15-minute walk in during your lunch break will help,” Thompson said. “It’s still progress. Keep moving forward, even moving slowly is still moving forward. Two steps forward and one step back is still forward progress.”

Root of the matter Getting to the psychological factors of overeating
By Katie Morris
leads to emotional or stress eating and sensory eating, meaning you see something delicious and want to eat it whether you’re hungry or not. Another com-
mon issue is using food as a coping mechanism, which Gomez said often develops in childhood and many times is the result of a trauma. “There are so many societal, behavioral and environmental habits that play into it,” Gomez said. “Certain foods trigger the release of dopamine, which makes you feel better. That’s where the term comfort food comes from because foods that are high in sugar, fat or carbs give you that relief.” A key strategy for preventing overeating is to pay attention and really be in the moment. “Your brain works against your waistline. It will trick you. That’s why you have to ask yourself, ‘Why am I eating in this moment and do I need this?’” Gomez said. “Pay
attention and ask yourself, ‘Is there an issue I need to resolve? Eating won’t fix the problem, so what will?’” There are a variety of ways to distract yourself if you’re having a craving — Gomez suggests exercising because studies, including a study published in the medical journal Psychosomatic Medicine, have shown that “moderate exercise three to five days a week can give you benefits similar to an antidepressant.” “You can also go to friends or family for support, finding a hobby or activity, playing with a pet, setting a goal and achieving it, all those things can give you the burst of satisfaction but carry on much longer than the three to five minutes of eating food,” Gomez said.
Cris Hartley, Director of Diabetes and Nutrition Education at Gwinnett Medical Center, said it’s a great idea to keep track of what you are eating on a daily basis, even on the weekends. “Apps can be good education tools, like My Fitness Pal has a good food directory that can be used to build awareness,” Hartley said. “They are
also a good way to keep food records, which is the No. 1 predictor of success.” According to Rebecca Gomez, a Clinical Health Psychologist at Gwinnett Medical Center, support can be a key factor in successfully living a healthy lifestyle. Some people prefer to take up hobbies or turn to family for support, but some people
have started joining online communities. “There are so many online and digital communities where you can connect with people and they can cheer for you and even hold you accountable,” Gomez said. “We live in a digital world right now, and I would rather you find what works for you and what you are going to stick with.”

Tech-savvy ways to lead a healthy lifestyle By Katie Morris
katie.morris @gwinnettdailypost.com
We live in a digital world filled with a variety of ways to incorporate technology into our dayto-day lives. There are several tools available like digital devices, apps, social media and online communities that can help you lead a healthier lifestyle. Fitness gadgets and apps can provide the means for you to successfully navigate the journey toward a longterm healthy lifestyle. The important thing is finding which one of them works best for your lifestyle and will provide the motivation you need. Wearable fitness trackers, like the FitBit, have been rapidly gaining popularity and were big sellers this past Christmas season. Becky Thompson, Physical Therapist and Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist at Gwinnett Medical Center, said fitness trackers can be a good way to keep up with progress.
“Some people are data people, who like to upload data from a GPS watch after their run. I run with a GPS watch to keep up with my progress. I also keep track of my personal records from different races,” Thompson said. Thompson said apps are also good tools for tracking progress and providing motivation because they allow you to share
progress with an online community. “Some people like to post every single run on Facebook, and Map My Run allows you to do that. Some people just like to type in the post themselves. I think whatever motivates you, and some people really respond well to that since of accomplishment,” Thompson said.

Reaping rewards through reminiscing It’s always rewarding to curl up with a cup of tea and reread about all the interesting people about whom I wrote over the past year. I remember when I met columnist Rick Bragg at a Gwinnett Library function, he said, “What I want most is for readers to like ‘my people.’” The same goes for me. I’m not going to try to top the words of a Pulitzer Prize winning writer! It’s so gratifying to look back at how many of “my people” gave so selflessly to so many worthy causes, like Leslie Watkins of the William Day Chapter of DAR and Bruce Maney
of the Button Gwinnett Chapter of SAR who travel around the state in period costumes teaching about colonial times. Stu and Vicki LaRoche, parents of two developmentally disabled adult children, founded The Next Stop at the Suwanee

Sports Academy to provide a place where children like their own can continue to grow and have fun as adults. Every year as a fundraiser they sponsor a Super Bowl raffle, awarding two tickets and $2,500 cash to the lucky winner, who this year is Jerry Fowler, owner of J & J Landscaping, who bought 10 tickets after being told of the raffle by one of his customers. Mahuli Jakubek, director of Collaboration and Environmental Strategies for GUIDE Inc. (Gwinnett United in Drug Education) keeps me well informed of all the volunteer programs she helps to set up to edu-
cate teens and their families about the dangers of drugs and alcohol. In memory of his father, a Holocaust survivor, Woody Morawiec, a teacher at Trickum Middle, collects shoes that he sends to needy people all over the world, including those served at our own Lilburn Coop. Pre-teen Jackson Alexander Vicnair of Dacula, who lives with a congenital heart defect, joins his parents Devin and Kristen in the fundraising walks they organize for the Georgia Chapter of the Children’s Heart Foundation. Carrie Tallent, who has a
son with autism, is making great strides in fundraising with her athletic ability by participating in Ironman events. I am always touched by all the organizations that support our troops and our veterans: Quilts of Valor, Task Force Patriot, Fly Fishing for Vets, ArtReach, the Gwinnett County Veterans’ Resource Center and various churches and civic groups that provide both economic and emotional support. I loved meeting the Hebron Angels, a youth baseball team in Dacula who go to bat not only on home plate, but in their commu-
nity where they are known as the Mission Team, doing whatever they can to help the less fortunate. I conclude with the first Gwinnett cause I ever wrote about, Tiny Stitches, a group that makes layettes for needy babies. To help raise funds, Tiny Stitches will conduct a knit fabric sale on Jan. 31 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Your Extra Attic, Bldg. D, 130 Peachtree Industrial Blvd, Sugar Hill. Fabric is $1 per pound, cash only for what I know is a worthy cause. Susan Larson is a writer from Lilburn. Email her at susanlarson79@gmail. com.

I was astounded to learn rinky-dink fairs in shopping that it was my husband’s first center parking lots, for to fair, other than a couple of me, nothing announces fall’s arrival more than football season, state fairs and carnivals with hayrides and pumpkin decorating contests. We were looking forward to seeing the livestock and horses so we were disappointed to learn that the animals take Mondays off. Except for four milk cows, the enormous barns were practically empty. Tink was a bit crestfallen. He had been on the fair’s website the night before, planning all the places to see, agriculturally. Thanks to our friends, John and Cinda, we had a golf cart, so while Tink was out of the cart buying a hot dog, I called my childhood friend, Jerry Truelove, a well-respected dairy farmer who sits on several dairyrelated boards. When Jerry answered, I explained the disappointment at not seeing all the cows and horses. “But there are four milk cows here. Could you arrange for Tink to learn how to milk a cow?” “I can make that happen. Let me make a call.” A few minutes later, he called back. “Go over to the red barn and ask for Nicole. She works with the Georgia Commodity Commission for milk. She’s going to teach him to milk a cow.” Now, you probably think that this story is about my citified husband from California learning to milk a cow. It is not — though I will say

College football playoff system is awesome first step I confess: I was a doubter. When the new college football playoff system was announced, I thought the move from the two-team BCS championship to a fourteam “tournament” was kind of lame — a step that, even if in the right direction, was disappointingly small. The result, I acknowledge, was much better than anticipated. Simply moving from two to four teams seemed to increase the drama, anticipation and excitement (not to mention television revenue) ten-fold. And the games! Watching the semifinals on New Year’s Eve was quite possibly the most fun I’ve ever had as a college football fan. And even if that was partly due to the company — shout out to Aaron, Todd and Adam — the games themselves were very good, especially Ohio State v. Alabama. Nor did the championship game disappoint, despite the Buckeyes’ turning it into a late rout, just in time for me to fall asleep in my recliner. So here’s my assessment of the new playoff system: It’s a great start. But why stop there? If doubling the number of teams enhanced the experience that much, what would happen if we doubled it again? An eight-team playoff is the next logical step in this progression. Not only would that ramp up the excitement level (and television revenue) even more, it would also solve some of the more obvious and thorny problems with this four-team scenario. Consider the school that was left out — TCU, which in retrospect just might have been the second-best football team in the country. The Horned Frogs annihilated Ole Miss, which pinned the only regular-season loss on an Alabama team that narrowly fell to the eventual national champ. Let’s not lose sight, too, of the fact that TCU was the only Power 5 conference winner that was left out of the mix. In fact, having a
Rob Jenkins four-team playoff positively ensures that, each year, at least one conference champ won’t get a bid. With eight teams, however, there’s a spot for the winners of all five of the big conferences. Besides eliminating some of the debate over relative conference quality, having each champ qualify automatically will make the regular-season conference races, and the conference championship games, even more meaningful than they are now. An eight-team field will also allow for three at-large teams to be invited. This year, that might well have been Baylor, Wisconsin, and either Mississippi State or Georgia Tech. Imagine the following pairings the week before Christmas: Alabama v. Tech, Oregon v. Wisconsin, Florida State v. Baylor, and Ohio State v. TCU. Would that have been awesome, or what? More to the point, it would have been the fairest and most accurate way possible of crowning a true national champion. (Ohio State might still have won, but my money would be on TCU.) So thanks, college football powers-that-be, for the new and improved football playoff experience. Now, please, don’t hesitate to take the next step.

Atlanta Extreme Volleyball Club food drive
leyball Club kicked off their season with a food drive for the North Gwinnett Co-op. A big part of the AEVC vision is community outreach and service opportunities for their teams. Club director Lauren Sands wanted the first tournament day to count for more than volleyball and rallied the teams to bring in canned goods for admission. With 250 families involved in the volleyball club, it was the perfect opportunity to hold a food drive and stock the shelves of the North Gwinnett Co-op food pantry after a busy holiday season. The North Gwinnett Co-Operative Ministries is a faith based organization that provides food, clothing, utility and prescription medication assistance to residents of Buford, Sugar Hill and Suwanee. For more information on the Gwinnett Co-op, visit northgwinnettcoop.org. Gwinnett Gab appears in the Thursday and Sunday editions of the Gwinnett Daily Post.

DANCING DUOS Father-daughter dance set for February From Staff Reports

So much so that this year the club will host three different dances over two nights at the Buford Community Center and Theater. This is the seventh year the club has hosted the event, which will take place Feb. 6 and 7. In previous years, the dance was held on Saturday night. But this year a Friday night dance has been added. It will be held from 6 to 8 p.m., and on Saturday there will be two dances — one from 6 to 8 and the other from 9 to 11 p.m. Another addition to
BERKELEY LAKE City looking into marshals program Mayor Lois Salter has recommended to the city council that the city create a city marshals program to enhance security in the area. The marshals would be hired and paid directly by the city and would patrol in a marked city-owned vehicle, likely an SUV. Salter wrote in a recent newsletter that the city would begin with one full-time officer and discontinue the use of Plaza Security guards. Salter said she is open to feedback, the Council representatives are supportive of the idea, and she’s discussed the plan with homeowner association presidents. music is loved by so many.” Tickets range from $12 BRASELTON to $25 and can be pur‘Heart for Chocolate’ chased at bufordcommunigala to benefit abused tycenter.com. and neglected children On.

SNELLVILLE Public works wins environmental award For the second straight year, the city of Snellville’s Public Works Department has brought home an award from the Keep Georgia Beautiful Foundation. This time, the department won the top prize in the Waste Reduction and Recycling category for a government agency, according to a news release. The department took the third place prize last year. “Since opening in 1991, the Snellville recycling center has seen a 1,000 percent increase in the amount of material recycled with them and has grown into one of the finest facilities of its kind in the Southeast,” KGBF officials said in the release. From July 2013 to June 2014, the city’s recycling center processed more than 8,300 cubic yards of ground yard waste, 781 tons of recyclables and the 215 tons of recyclables picked up per month in the city. “I’m honored to be part of such an environmentally conscious city,” said Public Works Director Gaye Johnson. “Winning first place for the state of Georgia in waste reduction is no small feat. I couldn’t be prouder of our Snellville citizens for being pro-recycling and making a difference.”

The Verizon Innovative App Challenge offers Meadowcreek students an opportunity to participate in a rich, projectbased learning experience that fosters teamwork and encourages them to explore new ideas and consider future careers in STEM.

Keith Farner a critical need to inspire student interest in science, technology, engineering and math. More than 90 percent of the winners from last year’s Innovative App Challenge expressed interest in pursuing STEM careers after learning coding and launch-
ing their winning app in the Google Play store. About 70 percent reported increased creativity, teamwork and communication skills, and content knowledge. “This contest has exposed students to new skillsets such as learning to collaborate, negotiate and best of all, problem solving,” Jonathan LeCompte, Georgia/Alabama region president for Verizon Wireless said in the release. “We can’t wait to see which of these creative concepts will become actual working mobile apps that can help make a difference in local communities.” Keith Farner writes about education.

bestbets SUNDAY
8 p.m. on NBC Movie: Bridesmaids If such movies as “The Hangover” suggested rowdy buddy humor was a men-only club, meet the women of director Paul Feig’s truly funny 2011 comedy. “Saturday Night Live” alum Kristen Wiig, who also co-wrote the Oscar-nominated screenplay, stars as a reluctant maid of honor trying to maneuver her way through the wedding party without suffering too many bruises. A riotously earthy Melissa McCarthy scored an Oscar nomination as best supporting actress.

9:01 p.m. on ABC Resurrection Bellamy (Omar Epps) worries that several strange occurrences foreshadow danger for Rachel (Kathleen Munroe) and her unborn child in the new episode “Steal Away.” Preacher James’ (guest star Jim Parrack) warnings appear to confirm those fears, and he agrees to a shaky partnership with Margaret. Angela (guest star Donna Murphy) also is vocal in her belief that trouble is on the way.
MONDAY 8 p.m. on NBC The Celebrity Apprentice Confirming that it was taped a while ago, the new episode “I Wish I Had a Project Manager” features the late Joan Rivers as a boardroom adviser, along with Ivanka Trump. In fact, Trump is a big part of the challenge that faces the teams as they try to create a shoe boutique bearing her name. Then, they attempt to make a video that will go viral in promoting a new single-serve product. By the end, two contestants will have been “fired” by Donald Trump.
Pauley Perrette
TUESDAY 8 p.m. on CBS NCIS Was a Navy lieutenant’s murder one of several muggings plaguing Washington, D.C., or was it committed to keep him from making it to a private meeting he had scheduled with the occupant of the Oval Office? That’s what Gibbs (Mark Harmon) and the team have to determine in “Kill the Messenger.” NFL veteran turned football analyst Tony Gonzalez guest stars as an NCIS agent. Michael Weatherly, Pauley Perrette and David McCallum also star.

THURSDAY
SATURDAY
8 p.m. on CBS The Mentalist Protecting a witness could have serious repercussions for the team, particularly Lisbon (Robin Tunney), in the new episode “The Whites of His Eyes.” A professional killer is determined to make sure the witness doesn’t testify in a murder investigation, placing anyone who stands in the way — including law officials — in potential peril. Guest stars include Mary Kay Place (“The Big Chill”). Simon Baker and Tim Kang also star. 9 p.m. on ABC Modern Family The video footage Phil (Ty Burrell) shot at the wedding of Mitch and Cam (Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Eric Stonestreet) reveals a little too much in “The Cold.” It indicates Phil made many of his relatives ill at the event, so he tries to edit the video to cover up that fact. High-school football coach Cam has to make a decision about player Manny (Rico Rodriguez), who gets differing advice from Jay and Gloria (Ed O’Neill, Sofia Vergara).
9 p.m. on FOX Backstrom Rainn Wilson (“The Office”) returns to weekly television in this new mystery based on a series of Swedish crime novels. After several years off the job, Everett Backstrom resumes policedetective duty in Portland, Ore. ... but his brilliance is offset by his engagement in every vice imaginable and offensiveness to colleagues. Dennis Haysbert, Page Kennedy and Kristoffer Polaha also star in the premiere, “Dragon Slayer.”
8 p.m. on LIFE Movie: With This Ring An unusually strong cast of leading ladies elevates this 2015 romantic drama about three chums (Grammy winner Jill Scott, HBO’s “The No. 1 Ladies’ Detective Agency,” Regina Hall, “Law & Order: L.A.” and Eve Jeffers, “Glee”) who attend a close friend’s (Brooklyn Sudano) New Year’s wedding and make a pact to get married themselves within a year. That means resolving a lot of old issues, however. Deion Sanders and Jason George co-star.
FRIDAY 9 p.m. on CBS Hawaii Five-0 A well-known part of the past leads to a present crime in “Ho’onani Makuakane” (Hawaiian for “Honor Thy Father”), when a veteran of the Pearl Harbor attack becomes a murder target. As they investigate, McGarrett (Alex O’Loughlin) and the team look into a possibly related crime that was committed in a World War II internment camp in Oahu. Scott Caan, Daniel Dae Kim, Grace Park and Masi Oka also star.
Daniel Dae Kim
