2019-20 legislative term begins Monday Gwinnett lawmakers anticipate bipartisanship on local issues

BY CURT YEOMANS

After decades of Republicans calling the shots in Gwinnett’s legislative delegation, Democrats will get their turn when the Georgia Gener-

al Assembly convenes for a new legislative session on Monday.

In a year when a new governor and lieutenant governor will be taking office, the biggest change affecting Gwinnett residents might be the changes in the county’s

legislative delegation.

It will have nine new members this year, and Democrats now make up the majority in the delegation for the first time in decades.

The delegation will also have the state’s first Muslim legislator, Sen.-

elect Sheikh Rahman, D-Lawrenceville, and its first Iranian-American legislator, Sen.-elect Zahra Karinshak, DDuluth.

“We have (nine) new members that we have to nurture and we have to mentor,” said Rep. Pedro

Marin, D-Duluth, who is the delegation’s new chairman. “I think their coming in to the legislature is a positive, but you have to remember it’s not just us (Democrats).

When we represent, we represent everyone.”

Buford Senior Center celebrates resident’s 100th

BY ISABEL HUGHES

Holding hands with several of her friends, Vera Woodburn swayed to “Ride Sally Ride,” a smile on her face.

As the chorus began, the Buford resident broke into song, much to the delight of her fellow partygoers, some of whom had traveled from as far as Toronto for her.

Surrounded by friends and family at the Buford Senior Center, on Friday, Woodburn celebrated her 100th birthday — yet another milestone for the mother of one, grandmother of three, great-grandmother of nine and great-great-grandmother of one, who emigrated from Jamaica nearly 50 years ago.

“It’s crazy, because just yesterday, it was 90-something, and now she’s 100,” said Woodburn’s great-grandson, J.C. Mulgrave. “Time just goes by so quick, but she’s still going; she acts like a young person, and it’s amazing. It’s such a blessing.”

Dressed in a red dress, red coat and magenta hat, Woodburn certainly didn’t look — or act — 100 on Friday, something her daughter, Beverly Woodburn, said the elder Woodburn makes a point of noting.

“She gets herself all dressed every (day),” Beverly Woodburn said. “She says, ‘the

blessings.”

Woodburn, who was born in Kingston, Jamaica, immigrated to the U.S. in 1972, where she got a job as a nanny for seven children.

“She worked with the family for about 15 years,” Beverly Woodburn said. “Seven kids she raised — three of which and the mother will be here for (a separate) birthday party. I mean, they’ve kept up with her every single year: Thanksgiving, birthday and

‘A prime example’ Not surprisingly, Saltiel’s job responsibilities evolved over her two decades at Primerica as the company constructed its own campus on Primerica Parkway, became its own entity in 2010 after years as a subsidiary of Citigroup and grew to include more than 2,000 full-time employees.

“The thing I love about this company is if you’re smart and willing to work, you can do anything. And I’m a prime example,” Saltiel said. “… My job changed substantially and for the better, running human resources for a standalone company. It was a great learning experience.”

Saltiel said she was fortunate to have a mentor in the late Barbara King, who worked for nearly 30 years at the company, retiring in 2009.

“I got adopted by Barbara King, who was the public face of Primerica at the beginning,” she said. “She and her husband adopted me. I definitely felt that.”

King, who was also legendary in Gwinnett circles for her community service work, got Saltiel started in helping

day you see me get out of my room and I’m not all put together, you know I’m going downhill.’”

Laughing, Beverly Woodburn’s daughter, Christine King, interjected.

“She’s a fashionista,” King said. “Between the hats and the dresses and whatnot — I remember I got her a dress for Christmas one year and

she didn’t say anything, but it was clear (she didn’t like it).

And she always has her nails done.”

Part of the reason Woodburn makes an effort to put herself together daily is to keep herself going, she said.

“I do a lot of puzzles to keep (my mind sharp) and in the mornings, I eat the (same thing),” she said. “I eat oatmeal, orange juice, a ripe banana — that’s every day. I exercise, I come to the (senior) center three days a week and I thank God for my

It’s been a little different around the offices of Duluth-based Primerica to start the new year. After nearly a quarter of a century with the company, Karen Fine Saltiel is missed.

Though her retirement had been known for a while, it’s still taken some getting used to at the Primerica offices, where Saltiel served as executive vice president and the chief human resources officer.

It’s been a big change for her as well, as her 23-year tenure with the company came after she left New York City for what she expected to be a short-term work assignment.

“It’s kind of funny,” Karen Fine Saltiel said Saltiel, whose last day with Primerica was Jan. 2. “I came here on a two-year training assignment. I was a lawyer and I had talked about leaving the legal profession and going to the management track, and a position came open here. I still have the letter that says I was coming here for two years. I guess I’m a slow learner.”

The effect that living and working in Gwinnett County has had on Saltiel is significant as the community has touched her as much as she’s touched the community.

“I love Gwinnett and I love the people here,” said Saltiel, who with her husband, Jack, has already moved to Cambridge, Mass. “They’ve been so embracing and I have so many friends and acquaintances — I’m definitely going to miss it. But I plan on visiting a lot.”

Woodall votes against bill on federal appropriations U.S. Rep. Rob Woodall, R-Ga., defended his vote against an appropriations bill put forward by Democrats to end the partial federal government shutdown Friday, saying any appropriations bill needs to include funding for President Donald Trump’s border security proposals.

Trump and Democratic leaders in the House and Senate have been at an impasse over how to end the shutdown, which began in late December. Trump has insisted funding on border security, particularly a border wall that Democrats have opposed.

The bill put forward in the House on Friday Rob Woodall was passed on a largely partisan vote of 240-179.

“This week, Democratic leadership refused to come to the table and negotiate a compromise bill that addresses the humanitarian crisis at our southern border,” Woodall said in a statement.

“Border security is national security. I will continue to reach out to my colleagues across the aisle and advocate for an appropriations bill that prioritizes the safety of our nation and ends the partial government shutdown.”

Woodall has been calling on Democrats, who now hold the majority in the House, to work with Trump on border security issues.

On Thursday, he said he was “committed to working with anyone” to “crack down on drug dealers and smugglers, eradicate human trafficking and sexual slavery, and fund the government.”

Woodall has been criticized for voting against the appropriations bill, however.

Because of Palacio-Gregorio’s history and what the officer saw, the man’s phone was confiscated, where investigators found about 8,000 pornographic images — the “overwhelming” majority of which were of children.

A Gwinnett County jury was presented with just 57 of those images to “establish the pattern of activity and out of respect for all of the victims depicted in those images,” prosecutors said.

In addition to being shown the images, the jury heard testimony from Palacio-Gregorio’s cousin — the DeKalb County victim — who is now 23 years old, who said Palacio-Gregorio took naked pictures of her when she was 14 years old.

She said he told her he did so because he “wanted to remember how beautiful she was,” prosecutors said.

Palacio-Gregorio claimed at trial that he never had the phone with the images and that it had been left in the car by his co-workers, an excuse the jury rejected.

Beyers sentenced him to 100 years, with the first 99 to spend in prison.

Democrats were for wall before Trump WASHINGTON — Barring some miraculous breakthrough after this writing, on Saturday the current government shutdown became the longest in American history. But it has already hit another historic milestone: It is, by far and away, the stupidest government shutdown in American history.

In 2019, the federal government will spend a whopping $4.407 trillion. Yet Congress and the president are shutting down the government in a dispute between the $1.3 billion the Democrats have approved for border security and the $5.7 billion the president is demanding — precisely 0.0998 percent of the total federal budget. In WashingMarc ton, that is considered Thiessen a rounding error.

Worse, Democrats are doing it over a border wall strikingly similar to one that they almost unanimously supported just five years ago. While House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., now says that “a wall is an immorality,” back in 2013, she supported a bill that required the construction of 700 miles of border fencing. (Trump has called for a wall of “anywhere from 700 to 900 miles” long.) The bill negotiated by the Gang of Eight, which included current Democratic leaders Sens. Charles Schumer, N.Y., and Dick Durbin, Ill., declared that “not later than 180 days after the date of the enactment of this Act, the Secretary (of Homeland Security) shall establish … the ‘Southern Border Fencing Strategy,’ to identify where 700 miles of fencing (including double-layer fencing) … should be deployed along the Southern border.”

That’s not all. The bill further said that “the Secretary may not adjust the status of aliens who have been granted registered provisional immigrant status … until 6 months after … (the Secretary submits) a written certification that … there is in place along the Southern Border no fewer than 700 miles of pedestrian fencing.” In other words, Democrats agreed that no illegal immigrants could get a path to citizenship until all 700 miles of border fencing had been fully completed.

Every Senate Democrat voted for the Gang of Eight bill — including 36 Democratic senators still serving today. President Barack Obama agreed to sign it. Indeed, he praised the bill for including what he called “the most aggressive border security plan in our history” and said that “the Senate bill is consistent with the key principles for commonsense reform that I — and many others — have repeatedly laid out” (emphasis added). That bears repeating: Obama said building a 700-mile fence on the southern border was consistent with the principles of the Democratic Party.

Pelosi supported the Gang of Eight bill, saying at the time that “every piece of this legislation has had bipartisan support.” But now we are shutting down the government over a wall much like the one that Pelosi and Senate Democrats fully supported just five years ago?

Democrats will object that the Gang of Eight bill did fund a border wall, but it was in exchange for a lot of concessions. Of course it was. As Obama said at the time, “the bipartisan bill that passed today was a compromise.” But today, Democrats are refusing to compromise or lay out what concessions they would accept in exchange for wall funding.

When Trump rhetorically backed off the wall and talked about “steel slats” — a fence — Democrats ignored it. When Vice President Mike Pence reportedly offered a deal for $2.5 billion, Democrats dismissed it. In a White House meeting Wednesday, Trump asked Pelosi whether, if he agreed to end the shutdown and negotiate separately on border security, she would support wall funding. She said no.

That is ridiculous.

In their response to the president’s address to the nation, Schumer and Pelosi accused Trump of “manufacturing a crisis.” That is simply untrue. As The Post reported this week, the United States now faces “a bona fide emergency on the border” as “record numbers of migrant families are streaming into the United States, overwhelming border agents and leaving holding cells dangerously overcrowded with children, many of whom are falling sick.”

Democrats could not possibly be in a better position to demand concessions form Trump if they had manufactured a crisis. So put some demands on the table, for crying out loud. If Democrats think they have Trump cornered, then squeeze him and try get a lot out of him. But don’t refuse to negotiate and tell us the wall is an “immorality” — because their voting history shows they don’t believe that.

To a new year, new life, old man’s wisdom Dear Cameron Charles Yarbrough: As has been my custom this time of year, I was about to impart some of an old man’s wisdom to my one and only great-grandson, but there has been a new development. Henry Sanford Wansley decided to make an appearance. (And on New Year’s Day!) Two greatgrandsons. Too good to be true — but it is.

As of this writing, I have not yet met Henry, but I hope to rectify that situation soon.

Here’s hoping he likes what he sees. Like it or not, he is stuck with me. I come with the family.

Let me start with a caveat: Great-grandparents are located down the food chain, behind parents and grandparents.

Even after all these years, I am still not sure what my role is supposed to be. I hope I am not considered competition, but I have lived longer, experienced more and age has given me a perspective they do not yet have. Plus, I helped raise two of the grandparents. That alone gives me primacy in the advice-dispensing department.

Cameron, you have 10-year head start on your cousin, Henry. Chances are I won’t be around long enough to see how either of you turn out, but I hope you will be as

The Trump speech and the Democratic response Despite advance billing that President Trump’s border wall speech would break news and contain new information, it was mostly familiar rhetoric: criminals and drugs, rapists and murderers are coming to America and the wall is the only way to stop them.

The president named families who have lost loved ones at the hands of undocumented immigrants. A case could be made, though, that American citizens are killing each other at higher rates during an average weekend in Chicago and other big cities than are killed by immigrants.

Whose facts to believe?

There are plenty on both sides of the argument. Raul Ortiz, the deputy chief of Border Patrol agents, says his agents are arresting up to 641 undocumented immigrants every day.

Other sources say arrests and border crossings have substantially declined in recent years.

What frustrates average Americans is the flip-flopping by politicians who were for a border wall and holding people who broke our laws accountable before they were against it.

comment Hillary Clinton made as recently as 2015 to underscore his claim of hypocrisy

by Democrats: “I voted, when I was a senator, to build a barrier to try to prevent illegal immigrants from coming in.”

The major media and their Democrat allies claim that Cal the decline in the number of Thomas people crossing the southern border is proof that a wall or These include Hillary other barrier is not needed. But Clinton, Barack Obama and a case could be made — and Chuck Schumer, all of whom the White House made it in a once championed stronger statement — that walls already border security. When he was in place are proof that barriers a senator from Illinois in 2006, work.

ment for expanding the wall or constructing other barriers.

Schumer and Pelosi challenged the president in a sleight-of-hand deal to re-open the part of government that is closed and then continue the debate about a wall. That reminds me of the “deal” offered to President George H.W. Bush by then-Speaker Jim Wright, D-Texas. Wright said Congress would cut spending if Bush would OK a tax increase. Bush was blamed for the tax hike, never got the spending cuts and lost his reelection bid.

In the end it is going to be a battle of images. One image is of people trying to cross the border illegally, throwing rocks, a few engaging in criminal activity; the other image is of 800,000 suffering federal employees going without paychecks. Which side will win is less important than what is best for America. If only more politicians cared about that higher goal.

Does milk make bones stronger or weaker?

DEAR DR. ROACH: I read that cow’s milk weakens the bones instead of making them stronger.

Is that true?

— A.H. ANSWER: The preponderance of the evidence is that dairy intake — like cow’s milk, yogurt and cheese — increases bone strength and reduces fracture risk.

However, there is not the highest level of evidence to support this.

In absence of interventional data (where one group is given cow’s milk and the other given something else), we have to rely on other kinds of evidence, all of which have some potential for bias.

Some of these have shown benefit from drinking cow’s milk; others have not. A 2018 study from the U.S. estimated a 6 to 8 percent reduction in fracture risk from consuming cheese or milk daily.

It’s not clear whether it’s the calcium, the vitamin D or something else that may be reducing risk.

Regular exercise is another way to reduce risk of osteoporosis and fractures.

Unfortunately, some people will still be at risk for fractures despite an excellent diet and regular exercise, so those at high risk should be screened, and may require medication.

You can reduce your chances of needing medication through a good lifestyle, preferably beginning in young adulthood.

DEAR DR. ROACH: Do all cervical cancers come from HPV? — B.H. ANSWER: One study estimated that 99.7 percent of all cervical cancers worldwide are due to infection from human papillomavirus, especially the high-risk strains that are most likely to cause changes in the cells that can become cancerous.

However, most cases of HPV are effectively treated by the body, and do not become cancer.

A few cancers do not have evidence for HPV when they are looked at. In one recent study from the U.S., about 10 percent of cervical cancers did not seem to be associated with HPV, but on careful re-evaluation, about half of those did have an association with HPV. Still, there are some cases of cervical cancer that are not due to HPV, and the risk factors for those may include smoking and HIV. This type of cervical cancer has a worse prognosis than HPV-related cervical cancer.

Population-level vaccination of HPV is likely to dramatically reduce cervical cancer, but not eliminate it entirely.

For this reason, the Pap smear, which diagnoses cancer and its precursors, is likely to remain an important screening tool.

Man resents being left off of annual letter Dear Amy: I’m a gay male who’s been in a relationship with the same man for the last 25 years.

Both of our families have been supportive of our relationship over the years.

During the Christmas holidays, we usually receive Christmas cards from my partner’s side of the family with annual letters inside of them.

These letters usually tell stories about the happenings of the current year.

What troubles me every year is that some of the Christmas cards are addressed only to my partner’s name when the family member knows me very well and knows of our long relationship.

As for the letters inside these Christmas cards, many of them only mention my partner but say nothing about me!

I imagine some members of my partner’s family may feel awkward writing anything about me and having to explain who I am to anyone else receiving the Christmas cards with letters inside of them.

I’ve expressed my feeling of disappointment to my partner. He usually just says to me that he doesn’t understand it either and that we should not give this importance.

While I agree with my partner’s view, I’m still left with what the right/correct thing to do is. What do you think?

— Disappointed at Christmas

Ask Amy

Amy Dickinson Dear Disappointed: I agree with you that it is disrespectful for these family members to basically deny your presence in your partner’s life, by not addressing cards to you, and by not including you or even acknowledging you in their annual narratives.

Your partner should address this with his parents (and perhaps with more distant family members), not only by saying that this is annoying and rude, but to patently ask them to adopt a different course of action: “Mom and Dad, we love your Christmas letter, but could you please remember that I have a life partner?

He’s a member of the family, and it’s embarrassing when you leave him out.

Honestly, this exclusion hurts both of our feelings.”

That having been said, most people who write Christmas letters write most passionately and comprehensively about their direct relatives (children, grandchildren). In-laws and partners should be mentioned by name, however.

You should also help to turn the page on this

by publishing your own Christmas letter. Model the behavior and the tone you’d like to see — with you and your guy side-by-side, communicating as equals and family members.

Dear Amy: I’ve been with my boyfriend for over seven years. We are both 35.

We are both committed, love each other and have similar goals. We just bought a house together.

I don’t need marriage as an expression of love, but for practical reasons and also for the annoying social reasons (I’d like to not get hit on so often/or embarrassed to still use the word “boyfriend”). I’ve never wanted a wedding, but now … I really want to get married.

He thinks marriage is not necessary. I’ve found myself getting resentful, and now I don’t know what to do. Can you help?

— Leaning Toward Matrimony Dear Leaning: Please don’t tell yourself that “getting hit on” is such an annoyance that it is forcing you toward marriage.

First of all, getting married will not change that (if you think it would, then simply wear a band on your left hand and wave it at the next guy who hits on you).

Mainly, the reasons you cite for wanting to get married are silly red herrings.

(Furthermore, you know it.)

Marriage is bigger, and more important than that.

It’s OK to want to get married, and after being with your guy for over seven years, marriage would seem like a natural next step, unless, of course, you have been going along with your boyfriend’s “marriage isn’t necessary” concept and not speaking from your own heart.

What you should do now is talk about it. Tell him, “Honey, I have news.

It turns out I do want to get married. This feeling seems to have snuck up on me, but now that I know I feel this way, I need to talk about it.”

Dear Amy: Why were you so harsh on those poor grandparents [“Unmerry Christmas”] who simply wanted to see their first grandchild on his first Christmas? I felt so sorry for these people, whose inlaws were so rude to them on Christmas Day. — Upset With YOU Dear Upset: Many people responded similarly.

I was concerned that this couple admitted that they had “crashed” the other grandparents’ home on Christmas Day. Honestly, all parties should have behaved differently.

up among legislators that the Daily Post spoke with was focusing on what is best for Gwinnett.

“I expect we’re going to have a great working relationship between Republicans and Democratic members when it comes to issues that are important to the citizens of Gwinnett,” said state Rep. Chuck Efstration, R-Dacula.

State Rep. Dar’shun Kendrick, D-Lithonia, represents part of south Gwinnett. She said Gwinnett’s legislators have traditionally been able to work together across party lines on local legislation.

As for what local legislation might be tackled this year, Kendrick said that will, at least in part, be up to leaders at the local level.

“We’re waiting on the legislative agenda from the Board of Commissioners and a lot of that will decide the direction of what we do as well because we’re not tyrants,” she said. “We do try to work with our partners, but we do have our own ideas as well, especially after 40 years.”

Kendrick said issues that Democrats have advocated in the past but couldn’t get enough support in a majority Republican delegation may now find new prominence.

“One thing that you’ll see is that some of the things we have been trying to pass will get more (attention),” she said. “For example, Reps.

Pedro Marin and Dewey McClain were advocating for expanding the Board of Commissioners so I think since we’ll have the reins, that will get more of a voice.”

Marin said that while he would like to revisit expansion of the county commission this year, he was not sure if that would mean legislation will be filed this year. One issue that would have to be looked at is, if a fifth commission district is created, would it come into existence now or when redistricting is done after the 2020 census.

The delegation chairman does expect transit

to be a major issue of interest to delegation members during the session with Gwinnett set to hold a referendum in March on whether the county should join MARTA. Other issues that he anticipates delegation members, particularly the Democratic members, to show an interest in include Medicaid expansion and replacing voting machines used in Georgia.

“I have a laundry list of 12 to 15 items (to potentially look at),” Marin said.

Various legislators are expected to likely have their own issues that they are interested in tackling.

Efstration has already announced plans to introduce legislation that targets human trafficking, but he told the Daily Post that he also plans to introduce general legislation this year to add an 11th Superior Court judge in Gwinnett.

“Gwinnett is at the top of the list or one of the two counties at the top of the list for needing an additional Superior Court judge because of our population,” he said. “So I expect to carry that and there’s bipartisan support … I certainly think that’s very important for the county.”

Marin said legislation with local impacts that are introduced by members of the delegation, whether they are Democrats or Republicans, will be considered in the same way. That means bills will be discussed extensively by all members of the delegation before decisions are made about whether the delegation will back those bills.

“We’ll have our disagreements, of course, but my intention as chair is for us to discuss (legislation),” Marin said. “I don’t want to bully anything. I have the votes, I can pass whatever (Democrats) want on local legislation, but that’s not what we want.

That’s not what Pedro Marin wants.

“We want to make sure that we exhaust our conversation to the fullest so both sides understand what we’re about.”

More meetings with residents are also expected this year. The delegation held one meeting at the Gwinnett Justice and Administration Center on Thursday and Marin said another will be held after the session ends. He also said monthly lunchtime meetings of the delegation will be held at the Capitol during the session.

under part of the gas station property to carry a tributary of Richland Creek under the property failed last May as the land above the pipes collapsed and blocked much of the stream’s path.

That in turn led to gradual erosion of the land over several months, an issue exacerbated by recent heavy rains. Now there is a large hole that is slowly eating away at the gas station building and its parking lot.

“There’s not any threat to any of the roadways or anything like that,” Branch said. “The water is still flowing. It’s just that the building is unsafe.”

Health care agenda

Will longtime disputes be resolved in the legislature?

“It’s time that we drill down and let Georgians know what the issue is about, and let’s resolve it,’’ Ralston said.

That committee’s work won’t be the only thing for the health care industry to watch. Hundreds of bills every year touch on health care, and there are always some wild cards that turn up.

Here are some topics seen as likely to surface during the session:

Despite a new lineup of legislators — as well as a new governor and lieutenant governor — many health care issues in the upcoming session of the Georgia General Assembly will have a familiar look. They are largely the same ones that have percolated under the Gold Dome in past years.

could raise more than $400 million a year to make investments for the health and well-being of Georgia residents by raising the cigarette tax by at least $1 per pack, says the Georgia Budget and Policy Institute.

Georgia has the thirdlowest state cigarette tax rate out of the 50 states and the District of Columbia.

But many libertarians and conservatives oppose any tax increases.

Speaker Ralston, when asked about a possible tax hike, noted that adult smoking rates have declined in the U.S. “I’m always hesitant to suggest raising taxes in any event,‘’ including for tobacco use, he said.

Medical cannabis Georgia allows people with medical conditions to possess medical marijuana.

But it’s illegal to bring it into the state.

A legislative commission has recommended allowing medical marijuana to be grown in Georgia and sold to patients. The proposal would license marijuana growers, manufacturers and dispensaries.

Georgia is one of the few states where medical marijuana is legal but cultivation and distribution are not, the Macon Telegraph reported.

That means the 6,421 Georgia residents with medical cards have virtually no legal way to get the medication they need.

“We really have set up a law that is potentially forcing Georgia citizens to break federal law in order to obtain the product,” state Rep. Allen Peake, a Macon Republican who spearheaded the 2015 medical marijuana legislation, told the Telegraph.

State Sen. Matt Brass, a co-chairman of the commission, said he wants to help patients who can benefit from medical marijuana without moving the state closer to legalization of marijuana for recreational use, the AJC reported recently.

“I know this bill will not make everyone happy,” said Brass, a Republican from Newnan. “We’re simply doing this to get access for our patients.”

Rural health care In recent years, Georgia lawmakers have tried to address the financial struggles that many rural hospitals face. Legislation to help these facilities included raising the rural tax credit for donors to rural hospitals from 90 percent to 100 percent.

The Rural Development Council has recommended raising the tax credit ceiling for rural hospital donations from the current $60 million to $100 million. The program has been “incredibly successful,’’ said state Rep. Terry England, co-chairman of the council.

But England has said the council also wants to clarify rules involving donation processes and what hospital expenditures are allowed with those funds.

Ralston also said Thursday that expanding rural broadband will help health care in rural areas, as well as business and education. “I think broadband is foundational’’ to revitalize rural Georgia, he said.

Step therapy Last year’s Legislature considered legislation that aimed to ease access to medications for serious illnesses by facilitating exceptions to insurers’ drug requirements.

Current protocols often require that a patient “try and fail” on one or more meds before insurers agree to cover the drug that was originally prescribed. That’s known as “step therapy.”

Last year’s bill, which ultimately failed to clear the Legislature, would establish reasons for exemptions from such protocols.

Dorothy Leone-Glasser of Advocates for Responsible Care (ARxC), who pushed the step therapy bill last year, said Thursday she expects another strong attempt at passage.

Mental health Ralston also told reporters that he wants to make mental health a priority during this session. “We have not given that issue sufficient attention (and) resources for a long, long time. That’s an issue that I really believe we’re going to have to make a priority.”

The Gwinnett County Department of Water Resources was recently recognized by the WateReuse Association for research on the possibility of using ozone and biological filtration to turn reclaimed water into drinking water.

The research project won a 2018 WateReuse Award for Excellence in the transformational innovation category. It compared treatments using ozone and biological filtration treatments with reverse osmosis processes to determine the feasibility and economics of the ozone and biological treatment.

“The project involved two different demonstrations operated simultaneously for nine months,” county officials said in a statement.

One demonstration treated water taken from Lake Lanier, while the other treated a blend that included water from the lake and water that went through an advanced treated reclamation process at the F. Wayne Hill Water Resources

Center. In both cases, the demonstrations duplicated the full drinking water treatment process currently used by the county.

The county worked with the Water Research Foundation on the project and recently released a report on their findings. County officials said the demonstrations showed a blend of reclaimed water and lake water could reach drinking water standards.

“The results show there are alternative treatment technologies that can be less expensive and more efficient than other standardized practices,” Gwinnett

County Department of Water Resources research and development director Denise Funk said in a statement.

“This work allows other water utilities to evaluate water supply options that may not have been feasible before. It also opens the door for further research and applications that could optimize efficiency in our own county.”

The project also received the American Academy of Environmental Engineers and Scientists’ Excellence in Environmental Engineering and Science Grand Prize for research in 2018.

A business that offers co-working space for health and beauty professionals is coming to the Peachtree Corners Town Center development.

MY SALON Suite is opening its Peachtree Corners location. Tim and Marty Commons will run the business, whose exact address is 5210 Town Center Blvd., Suite 350.

The Commonses opened a MY SALON Suite location in Lawrenceville in 2017, making the new location their second in Gwinnett County.

The Peachtree Corners location is expected to open by the end of the month.

“We are ecstatic about our upcoming opening of our second MY SALON Suite location in the beautiful upscale Peachtree Corners Town Center,” Marty Commons said in a statement. “The community’s excitement has been growing for quite some time, and we’re equally as eager to open our doors in what we know will offer great opportunities for

beauty professionals that are inspired to thrive on their own.”

The Peachtree Corners MY SALON location has more than 5,100 square feet of space and 26 luxury suites that are leased out to health and beauty professionals such as hair, nail and spa specialists.

These specialists receive local and national marketing and business support from MY SALON, as well as access to the SalonRunner scheduling and pointof-sale platform.

“We’ve seen a great deal of success in our Lawrenceville location thanks to the demand for

high-end salon suites that offer privacy, style, class and comfort, and we’re confident we’ll have the same success in Peachtree Corners,” Tim Commons said.

“We’re continuing to grow the brand and can’t wait to help even more beauty professionals in our community build their own business and achieve their dreams.”

Broncos stretch region wrestling run to 3

By Scott Smith

LILBURN — After a strong showing with a third-place finish in the county traditional tournament last week, Brookwood rode that momentum on Saturday in the Region 7-AAAAAAA duals at Parkview High School.

Winners of the last two region dual meets, Brookwood notched its third in a row with decisive wins in two matches — an 84-0 shutout of Central Gwinnett and a 59-16 defeat of Meadowcreek in the finals — to give the Broncos a berth in the Class AAAAAAA state dual meet next weekend.

“We came out being aggressive and setting the tone and getting our opponents to react to us,” Brookwood head coach Chris Cicora said. “We’re at our best when we are being offensive and aggressive. We had a good day today.”

In the finals, Meadowcreek got off to a good start

CONYERS — Coming into Saturday’s Region 8-AAAAAAA duals at Rockdale County, all eyes were on the host Bulldogs, who were looking to repeat as champions and nab the No. 1 seed for next weekend’s championships at the Macon Centerplex.

After blowing past Grayson 65-12 earlier in the day, the Bulldogs squared off with Archer, the team they beat to win last season. After a closely contested battle one year ago, Saturday’s rematch had a very different story.

Rockdale jumped out to a quick 38-0 lead on five pins and never looked back to repeat as champions, 45-28.

With Jacksonville captain Garet Hunt in the penalty box for unsportsmanlike conduct, Bligh took a centering pass and found the back of the net.

Joel Mesner and Nesbitt were credited with the assists at 14:08.

After assisting on two of the previous goals, Nesbitt scored one for himself when he redirected a shot from teammate Kyle Chatham at 16:23 of the first period.

Bligh scored his fourth of the period when Joseph Widmar won the faceoff in the Jacksonville zone.

Collins Hill clamps down in 65-23 win

By David Friedlander david.friedlander@ gwinnettdailypost.com

LAWRENCEVILLE — After giving up 50 or more points in a game for just the fifth time all season a night earlier, Collins Hill girls coach Brian Harmon wanted to see a better defensive effort from his team in Saturday’s game against Center Point of Alabama.

The No. 3 state-ranked Eagles gave him what he was looking for with 20 steals and holding the visiting Eagles to single digits in each quarter in a 65-23 rout in the Krossover Classic at Archer High School.

Javyn Nicholson led the offense with 18 points, leading three players in double figures, and added seven rebounds, three steals and three blocked shots, while Bria Harmon dished out a season-high 11 assists to go with five rebounds, four points and two steals as Collins Hill improved to

18-1 on the season. “(Friday) night, we didn’t play defense very well (in a Region 6-AAAAAAA win over) Mill Creek,” the elder Harmon said. “And I really didn’t coach defense that well. (Saturday), I came in and tried to make sure we came in with more of a defensive mentality.”

The Eagles accomplished that mission early, holding Center Point to just five first-quarter points, all by Taylor Henderson, while Nicholson and Katherine Fourie provided the offensive spark en route to a 16-5 lead after the opening frame.

But it was in the second quarter in which Collins Hill really broke the game open by outscoring Center Point 19-2 to build the halftime lead to 35-7, and the Eagles never looked back.

Fourie finished with 15 points, as well as a teamhigh five steals, while Rebecca Walters chipped in 12 points and seven rebounds.

could cover the wings.”

Both adjustments worked well, as the Wolves held North Cobb to just 12 second-half points, and cut what had been a seven-rebound Warriors advantage at the half down to just 30-29 by the end of the game.

Meanwhile, Carter and the younger Azar, who had scored all 21 of Wesleyan’s points in the first half, remained hot to start the second half.

Azar knocked down a pair of 3-pointers in the opening 1:50 of the third quarter and added a pair of free throws, while Carter chipped in a driving layup and a free throw to lead an 11-2 run that vaulted the Wolves into a 32-28 lead with 4:01 left in the period.

Shaybryana Washington hit 1 of 2 free throws to briefly pull North Cobb back to within 32-29 with 3:12 left, but Azar hit another 3 — her third of the quarter and one of six shots from behind the arc on the day on her way to 22 points — to ignite a 10-3 run over the remainder of the period and balloon the Wolves’ lead to 42-32.

And with the rest of the team more comfortable in their new roles, the rest of the Wolves began to give their dynamic duo some help, with reserve Jessie Parish hitting a layup with 2:12 left in the third quarter for the first points from someone other than Carter or Azar on the day.

Parish and Izzy Larsen then added a bucket each

as Wesleyan opened the fourth quarter on a 7-0 run to push its lead to 49-32 following Larsen’s basket with 6:20 remaining, and North Cobb never got any closer than 15 points after that.

While Azar, who also had a team-best four steals, and Carter did the bulk of the scoring, the Wolves did get important contributions from others like Parish, Larsen (four points, six rebounds, five assists, two blocked shots) and Alyssa Phillip (nine rebounds, one block).

But the elder Azar had just as much praise for Callie Weaver, who finished with just two points, but took over the bulk of the point guard role with Lyons out of the lineup.

“It was a dig down and see who wants it more (kind of game),” Jan Azar said. “With Paige on the bench, I thought Callie did a fantastic job running the point. A.C. also pushing the ball up the court, too.

Nicole shot the ball really well, and they fed her nicely, which then allowed A.C. to go to work inside.

“Callie is really one of our better scorers, and for her to take a step back and run that point, it takes away some of her scoring opportunities. But she does not care, and that’s who she is as a player.”

Edge finished with 15 points to lead North Cobb, while Azonya Austin added eight points, eight rebounds and five assists for the Warriors.

Despite the switch, the Blue Devils put Lebanon on its heels when Strickland made 3-pointers on their first third-quarter possession, quickly extending their lead.

Pulaski responded with an and-1, and Norcross saw its lead disappear by the two-minute mark in the quarter. The teams went into the fourth period even, the first tie since the score was 2-2.

Robinson-Nwagwu and Strickland scored all of Norcross’ fourth-quarter points except a critical 3-pointer by Mariah Balterria that gave the Blue Devils a 52-49 lead, the largest for either team in the quarter.

Norcross had a chance to win in regulation when Lebanon allowed it to run the game clock down for the entire final minute at a 56-56 tie. But Lebanon stripped Robinson-Nwagwu and forced overtime.

Balterria made a 3-pointer to put Norcross up 61-60 under the oneminute mark. Lebanon’s Christaney Brookshire then went 2-for-2 at the freethrow line to give her team a one-point lead. Norcross turned the ball over on the game’s final possession.

The Blue Devils return to the court Tuesday against Parkview for the first of a four-game home stretch to close the regular season.

University of Miami guard was to be fearless both offensively and defensively.

“I learned from her how aggressive she was to guard toward the basket, how she used her cut-fake and how she used her moves to get to the basket and her strength once she was at the basket,” Robinson-Nwagwu said.

As much as Wright admires and appreciates that aggression and fearlessness, there is another quality she likes even more, one she says should serve Robinson-Nwagwu well when she heads off to the Southeastern Conference to play college ball at Auburn next year.

It stems from a lesson she learned early in her Norcross career.

“I love her goal-oriented mind,” Wright said. “I love that she works hard at everything. Her sophomore year, we’re playing McEachern (in the Thanksgiving showcase) at Parkview, and she didn’t see any minutes on the floor. She took it to heart.

She worked so much harder to get that playing time.

That was the last time (she sat). It was like, ‘You’re not sitting me out.’

“That’s my favorite story about her. She was like, ‘Oh, heck no, you’re not doing that to me again.’

She worked for it and had that mentality, that work ethic. It’s just awesome.”

In the meantime, Robinson-Nwagwu is focused on the remainder of this season, and what she and the Blue Devils have to do to give themselves one last chance at a state title — something that has eluded them the past two seasons with a loss in the finals in 2016-17 and the quarterfinals a year ago.

Once again, it comes down to hard work.

“We’ve just got to work harder,” Robinson-Nwagwu said. “The more you work, the more the coaches are going to want you to be on the court for you to help out because they know that you can do what they’re asking and can contribute to the team.”

world&nation world 3 killed, dozens injured in Paris gas explosion Three people, including two firefighters, have died and dozens more people were injured after a gas leak caused an explosion in Paris, emergency services in the French capital said.

The blast occurred at a bakery at 9 a.m. local time Saturday, as firefighters were responding reports of the leak.

“At this hour, 2 firefighters from the Paris fire brigade are dead. 10 people are seriously injured, including a firefighter. 37 people are in a state of relative emergency,” French Interior Minister Christophe Castaner tweeted.

Spain’s Foreign Minister Josep Borrell Fontelles later said a Spanish citizen died in hospital following the explosion, and that another Spaniard was injured.

Congo president runner-up asks court to order election recount The runner-up in the Democratic Republic of Congo’s disputed presidential election, Martin Fayulu, said Saturday that he had asked the country’s Constitutional Court to order a full recount.

Fayulu told CNN that Republican Guard soldiers and police had earlier surrounded his house and intimidated supporters who planned to accompany him to the court in the capital, Kinshasa.

“My lawyers, in order to avoid any surprises, decided to deposit the appeal files yesterday Friday 11th at 3:30 p.m. at the constitutional court.

Shutdown now longest in U.S. history

R. Kelly’s daughter speaks out on ‘monster’ father

By Clare Foran CNN

The ongoing partial government shutdown entered its 22nd day on Saturday, breaking the record to become the longest government shutdown in U.S. history.

The previous record dates back to the Clinton administration when a 21-day shutdown resulted from a clash between President Bill Clinton and the GOP Congress that lasted from December 1995 to January 1996.

For now, there is still no end in sight to the current shutdown, which has impacted roughly a quarter of the federal government and hundreds of thousands of federal workers.

An estimated 800,000 federal workers have been affected by the lapse in funding — either by having to work without pay while it lasts or by being furloughed.

As the shutdown drags on, President Donald Trump and congressional Democrats have not made progress toward any kind of agreement that would put an end to it.

White House officials were expecting a quiet weekend as of press time at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. No meetings between White House officials and congressional staff were scheduled, and no appearances by the President were expected — only tweets.

R. Kelly’s estranged daughter has broken her silence about the controversy surrounding her father.

Joann Kelly, who goes by the name Buku Abi, posted a lengthy statement on her Instagram stories Thursday, which began “Buku here. I just want to say a few things …”

“Before I start I just want it to be known that I am speaking from the heart, nothing I say or do not say is to hurt ANY party reading significant factor in this, de- this or affected by this,” spite Sen.

Last weekend, senior White House staff traveled to Camp David for meetings with acting White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney, who has led shutdown talks, and officials pretaped interviews with television networks so they could get their message out on the Sunday shows.

As of Friday night, only Secretary of State Mike Pompeo was scheduled to appear on TV today.

The president has insisted on more than $5 billion in funding for his long-promised wall at the U.S.-Mexico border. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi of California and Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer of New York have refused to meet that demand, instead offering a far smaller sum to shore up border security and asking the president

to reopen the government now and negotiate on border security later. Trump has rejected their offers, leading to an impasse that no one seems able to break.

Amid the unending shutdown, the president has started increasingly talking about the possibility of declaring a national emergency in an effort to circumvent Congress to obtain the funding he wants for a border wall — a move that would be expected to face legal challenge and forceful pushback from Democratic lawmakers.

While declaring a national emergency is not completely off the table, Trump backed away from his threat Friday, saying he’d rather work it out with Congress. People close to the president said fears about a sharp backlash from lawmakers played a

TSA Administrator David Pekoske announced the compensation Friday on Twitter amid mounting concerns that the nation’s airports might not be able to provide the usual standard of security. Already, hundreds of TSA screeners from at least four major airports have called out from their shifts since the shutdown began three weeks ago.

Pekoske said all TSA employees who worked Dec. 22 will receive pay for the day no later than Tuesday.

The $500 bonuses for uniformed screening officers who worked during the busy holiday travel season should arrive in the coming days, Pekoske tweeted.

Julian Castro announces 2020 presidential bid Former secretary of Housing and Urban Development Julian Castro officially announced his presidential bid in San Anto-

nio on Saturday, beginning a campaign that will look to turn his uniquely American immigrant story into a direct repudiation of President Donald Trump.

“When my grandmother got here almost a hundred years ago, I’m sure she never could have imagined that just two generations later, one of her grandsons would be serving as a member of the United States Congress and the other would be standing with you here today to say these words: I am a candidate for President of the United States of America,” Castro said.

Castro, the former mayor of San Antonio, had been considering a bid for nearly two years and announced a presidential exploratory committee in December.

Bae was shocked to see girls as young as 13 worrying about their appearance. The comments made her question her social responsibilities.

In response, she posted a video titled “I am not pretty,” in which she applied and removed makeup while sharing hateful comments she had received in the past, such as, “A pig is wearing makeup” or “If I had her face, I’d commit suicide.” At the end of the video, she smiles and tells viewers “it’s

OK not to be pretty.”

The video has amassed more than 6.3 million views on YouTube.

“I posted the video because I wanted more women to be free from oppression,” Bae said. “I wanted to share that you don’t need to change yourself because of how other people see you.”

Today, Bae is among a growing number of women challenging South Korean attitudes toward beauty as part of a feminist movement known as “escape the corset.”

No. 11 Auburn knocks off UGA

•From Page 10A six. He took Pierre down and pinned him to shrink the Collins Hill lead to 26-24.

Lucas Desilva won his match 18-5 at 160 and the Eagles’ Jordan St. Preuve scored a takedown with eight seconds left to put Collins Hill up 33-24.

Mountain View’s Luke Hennebaul won by pin at 182, setting up the final match heroics for Spikes.

“Both teams had holes,” Gassman said. “We just had to trust the process and not give up.”

After winning the county tournament, Collins Hill coach Nate Ethridge was succinct in his thoughts, “The better team won.”

Field Level Media AUBURN. Ala. — No. 11 Auburn made sure its hiccup earlier this week at Ole Miss was exactly that as the Tigers returned home Saturday to cruise past Georgia 93-78 in SEC play.

Five different players finished in double-figures for Auburn, led by Jared Harper with 22 points, followed by Bryce Brown with 15 and Anfernee McLemore with 15 each.

Malik Dunbar and Samir Doughty both scored 11 for the Tigers (12-3, 1-1

Turtle Jackson scored a season-high 16 points to lead the Bulldogs (9-6, 1-2), and was followed by Nicolas Claxton with 15 and former Collins Hill standout Teshaun Hightower with 12. Georgia shot 44.8 percent.

Trailing by 10 at the half, Auburn saw Georgia whittle the lead to six on a 3-pointer by Hightower with 17:05 left in the game.

However, that was be as close as the Bulldogs would get.

Sophomore standout Wade Hipp (113) and junior Cameron Sapp (126) each made quick work of their opponents, earning pins in the second period.

Having a young lineup with many underclassmen competing for the first time at a region duals meet, Tigers head coach Keith Jannett was more than pleased with the way they performed Saturday afternoon.

“We set a goal at the beginning of the year to make it back to state duals,” Jannett said. “Getting back there, that allows these kids to see what it’s like so that for the next 3-4 years, we’re back there competing, not just to get back to state duals, but to get back into the top four. When you have teams come out here like this, you’re just super proud of how they perform and fight and get after it. I’m proud of the way we competed today.

That’s what we preach and that’s all you can ask for.”

RIGHT RHYTHM Suwanee resident Shinohara competes in international gymnastics competition

By David Friedlander • david.friedlander@gwinnettdailypost.com

A

lot of people can say that they enjoyed the holiday season. For Elena Shinohara, it can be said she had a ball, as well as a hoop and a ribbon.

The 18-year-old Suwanee resident and 2018 Collins Hill graduate excelled with all three props, and subsequently in all three events, while representing the United States at the Luxembourg Cup rhythmic gymnastics competition Dec. 22-23 in Belair, Luxembourg.

Shinohara placed in the top 10 among dozens of competitors from around the world in all three events, taking fourth in ball with a score of 14.25, fifth in ribbon with a 14.55 and seventh in hoop with a 13.95.

And it was quite the learning experience for her.

“While I was on the training floor, I was doing pretty well,” Shinohara said. “When I went to competition floor, I made some mistakes. I learned I need to focus more and listen to the music and

practice with the speed of music. In the finals on the same day, I got very tired, so I had to learn how to keep my energy going for the finals.”

Despite her strong selfcritique of her performance in Luxembourg, it was the latest in a series of performances that represent a comeback of sorts for Shinohara.

After a two-year absence,

Elena Shinohara, a 2018 Collins Hill grad, earned a spot on the U.S. National Team in rhythmic gymnastics this summer.

(Photos: Team Photo)

far too long for her liking, she is back with the USA Gymnastics National Rhythmic program, this time with the senior national team.

“It was kind of hard for me because I was on the bottom,” Shinohara said this past summer of earning her way back to the national team.

“It was during the time I was going from a junior (national-

level competitor) to a senior (national level). For seniors, that’s the limit. Not a lot of people go up to a higher level.

There were more really good older girls that I had to compete against, so it got really hard for me. I really wanted to get back. It took me two more nationals to get back in. I tried really hard to get back onto the senior national team.”

Shinohara’s rise is also the culmination of many years of hard work in a sport that doesn’t have quite the visibility of others in the United States.

But it’s a sport she quickly showed enthusiasm for and ability in when she was introduced to it by her parents — mother Namie, a former See rhythm, Page 5C

Power of keeping your word Keep work from taking over It was my junior year in college before I had the unfortunate experience of meeting, for the first time, a man who did not keep his word.

He had been, as it turned out, temporarily put in charge of a newspaper that was struggling with its first computer system. There was a lot of inputing that needed to be done, such as press releases, obituaries, public service announcements and birth announcements.

Proud as a peacock of his ascension to management, albeit a brief one, he called and asked if I would consider a parttime job. I had just finished an internship there so I was fairly certain that I was being hired for the stellar job I had done answering the telephone, handing out the mail and making coffee. I was going to school full time and already had two regular part-time jobs, one at a radio station and another at a dress shop.

But I desperately wanted to work in newspaper.

“You need to input all of this,” he motioned with his cigar to a desk stacked two feet high with papers on the afternoon I first reported for work. “When you get all of this finished, I’ll let you fill in as a reporter. I’ll make you a regular part-timer. You can cover council meetings and the such.”

I was so excited to have my third job, on my way to being an official reporter. Every morning,

This image is making the rounds on Pinterest. The canvas reads, “Just another thing hanging over your head.”

(Special Photo)

Lisa McLeod “Just another thing hanging over your head.” This common expression now comes in poster form. Or, should I say, art form.

Here’s the image making the rounds on Pinterest: Picture a massive white canvas, 6 feet tall, framed in gold, hanging over a modern navy bed in a light-filled bedroom.

In the middle of the blank canvas are these words, written in a crisp italic font: Just another thing hanging over your head.

The first time I saw it, I laughed. The second time, I thought, it’s funny; that’s depressing, and it’s terrible karma.

It’s bad enough going to bed with something metaphorically hanging over your head. Putting a poster over your bed to remind you of it is insane.

But then we humans never have been a logical bunch.

We look forward to the weekend, then spend it worrying about work. We shell out big money for vacations, then check our phones on the beach.

In the last decade, the line between work and leisure has evaporated. My youngest daughter who did part of her college coursework online says, “An online class is like constantly having an unread email. There’s always something you’re supposed to be doing.”

Here are six things I’ve been doing to stop work from

bleeding into every minute of my life: 1. Stick to a start and end time each day If you show up on time for flights and you meet deadlines, you’re already effectively managing your time.

Letting work time bleed into personal time simply because you can means you’re never off. Treating the beginning and end of the workday with the same finality you do deadlines increases your urgency when you’re “on.” If you hit your end time three or four days a week, you’ll be surprised at the change in your evening.

2. Keep your commitments to yourself For years, I routinely canceled my own doctor and dentist appointments to accommodate work. Clients need to move the meeting? No prob. I can push that mammogram back six months; it’s not like it’s my health or anything. Commitments to yourself should have the same priority as your commitments to others.

3. Never check email first thing in the morning This is so important it’s the title of a best-selling book by Julie Morgenstern. Starting your day with email means you’re letting other people set your priorities. Instead, read

something inspirational — my daughter and I like The Daily Stoic — and make a list of what you want to accomplish. Don’t check your email until your priorities are set.

4. Travel on work time, not personal time When you routinely wake up at 4 a.m. to catch flights, it’s only a matter of time before you resent your job, your boss, your clients or the family you’re supporting. I used to travel on my own time, very early and very late. Now, I travel during the workday.

To be clear, I work on the flight, in the lounge, etc. But I no longer arrive exhausted.

5. Give yourself a Sabbath Humans need a day to reset. It’s no coincidence; most religious traditions have a Sabbath. I used to pack my weekends with chores and projects. Now I try to get everything done on Saturday, and use Sunday to do purely enjoyable things and recharge.

Work can be great. Just don’t do it so much it takes over the other good stuff.

COME ON DOWN Buford resident wins big on ‘Price is Right’

By Curt Yeomans

Bruce Smith and his wife, Constance, went to Los Angeles in the fall to celebrate their 19th wedding anniversary.

While they were there, they decided to see some shows being made, including “The Price Is Right.” He ended up having a television audience chanting his name as he became a big winner on the show.

By the time it was all done, Smith won a boat, kitchen appliances, a grill, steaks, patio furniture, a tablet, smart technology-enabled dog bones and an overseas trip so he and his wife can celebrate the 25th anniversary of their first date and 20th wedding anniversary all because they went to a taping of “The Price is Right.”

“I’m still pinching myself, especially every time somebody mentions ‘The Price is Right,’” Smith said.

Although “The Price is Right” episode that Smith appeared on was taped in November,

Buford resident Bruce Smith stands on “The Price is Right” stage during the episode that aired Dec. 21.

Buford residents did not find out one of their neighbors was on the show until the episode aired Dec. 21.

“It was a bucket list thing and I had no inkling, no idea that anything like (winning the show) would transpire, so it’s been very overwhelming,” Smith said.

Smith was called down to one of the game’s four bidding stations at the beginning of the game and got on stage when he came closest to guessing the price of a tablet and smartphone app-enabled dog bones without overguessing their cost.

He then played the Hi-Lo game and won a gas grill, backyard patio furniture and a refrigera-

Then came to spin “The Price is Right” wheel, which Smith won by getting by getting $0.60 on his first roll, a higher number than the other two contestants got on their turns.

He then advanced to the Showcase Showdown, where Smith had the option to put in a bid on a truck, trip to Hong Kong and cash or to pass that showcase onto a competing candidate. He chose to pass on it. He works for a car company, so he did not want a new car and felt freed up to wait and see what the other showcase was.

First, the show unveiled a kitchen appliance set and then a six-night chocolate tasting trip to the Museum of Cocoa and Chocolate in Brussels, Belgium.

Finally, the show unveiled the five-seat Bayliner boat and Smith threw his hands in the air and flashed a big grin as he looked back to his wife in the audience.

He came the closest to correctly guessing the actual showcase price, meaning he won the show and he ran onto the stage, and waved to the crowd as his wife came down to join him.

He said the boat will be kept at the couple’s Lake Hartwell home, and he and his wife will use the trip to Belgium later in the year to celebrate their wedding anniversary.

Elena Shinohara, a 2018 Collins Hill grad, earned a spot on the U.S. National Team in rhythmic gymnastics this summer. (Photos: Team Photo)

Rhythm •From Page 1C competitor and national team member in her native Japan, and father Minoru — when she was only 6 years old.

“When I was little, I would have equipment at home, since my Mom was a (rhythmic) gymnast,” Shinohara said. “So we’d play around with the equipment for fun, since I was really little. But I got really interested because whenever there was music on, I’d start dancing to it. It was like toys to me, rather than sports equipment. It was really fun, and it was kind of like bonding time with my Mom. So that was how I got started.

“I think the first equipment I got used to was the hoop because it was always at home.

But after a while, around elementary school, I really liked the ball because everything

would be smooth and connected, and I guess elegant, and I like the elegance of rhythmic gymnastics. But now, I really don’t have a favorite equipment. I’ve been doing rhythmic gymnastics for a long time, and I’ve been handling all the different equipment, and I think I have equal (proficiency) in

different equipment.”

Under the coaching of both her parents at their home studios and gyms in Duluth and Suwanee, Shinohara has steadily improved to the point of being able to compete strongly on the national and international levels.

That trend has continued

We Honor

this year despite becoming a bit more complicated after she enrolled at Georgia Tech for her freshman year as a biochemistry major this past fall.

It has required her to make some adjustments in her time management skills to balance her school work with rhythmic gymnastics.

Shinohara admits it was a bit of a struggle at first, though she has worked hard to make it a smoother transition, with the help of her family.

“Last semester, I had to figure out how to work between this and school work,” Shinohara said. “College is way harder, so I had to divide my time. …

By the end of the semester, I was able to manage between school and gymnastics (better).”

And she is determined to maintain that balance so that she can keep progressing in school, as well as toward her

dream of competing in bigger and more prestigious international competitions.

“Since there’s no college (programs), I’m going to practice with my Mom still until I’m about 20,” Shinohara said “One of my biggest goals is (this year’s World University Games) because I want to represent America and my school, Georgia Tech, in an international competition. It’s been a dream of mine.”

To that end, she is currently finishing up a training session with the senior national team in Lake Placid, N.Y., in preparation for her next competition in Indianapolis in early February.

“Right now, I’m in a national team camp,” Shinohara said.

“We’re showing routines to the judges seeing what we need to work on. Since coming back to the national team, I’ve improved a lot.”

bestbets SUNDAY 9 p.m. on PBS Victoria on Masterpiece Queen Victoria (Jenna Coleman) is pregnant with her sixth child, but she’s also distracted by current events in Europe as this historical drama opens Season 3 with two back-to-back episodes. A spirit of revolution is sweeping across the continent as downtrodden commoners start agitating against aristocratic rule. In England, that discontent manifests itself as Chartism, a set of demands for universal male suffrage, the secret ballot, equal representation for voters

Jenna Coleman

and other reforms that once had been dismissed as radical.

MONDAY 8 p.m. on LIFE Gretchen Carlson: Breaking the Silence The first of three documentaries to air as part of former Fox News personality Gretchen Carlson’s deal with A&E Networks, this new twohour film follows Carlson as she travels across the United States looking for previously undisclosed stories of sexual harassment and abuse, with alleged incidents at such diverse venues as fast-food giant McDonald’s and a rural fire department. In the process, Carlson also reveals new details of the toll her lawsuit against former Fox News chairman Roger Ailes took on her family.

9 p.m. on CBS Magnum P.I. Magnum and Higgins (Jay Hernandez, Perdita Weeks) are understandably shaken when one of her former MI6 colleagues abruptly turns up nursing a fresh gunshot wound in the new episode “Day of

Perdita Weeks and Jay Hernandez the Viper.” They’re even more alarmed, however, by the news he has to deliver: The assassin who killed Higgins’ true love has resurfaced on Oahu. While he and Higgins spring into action, Magnum asks Rick (Zachary Knighton) to take over a case, which unfortunately soon goes sideways. Ian Pryce guest stars.

TUESDAY 9 p.m. on CW Roswell, New Mexico A young woman (Jeanine Mason, “Grey’s Anatomy”) moves back in with her father in the title town following a

professional setback and reconnects with her high-school crush (Nathan Parsons, “The Originals”), only to discover he’s an extraterrestrial — and there are others like him — in this reboot of the 1999-2002 teen sci-fi drama “Roswell.”

Michael Trevino, Lily Cowles, Heather Hemmens, Michael Vlamis and Tyler Blackburn also star.

WEDNESDAY 8 p.m. on PBS Nature Anthropologist Dr. Niobe Thompson and some equine experts explore the fascinating and even mystical relationship between humans and horses, which is nearly as old as civilization itself, in the new two-part episode “Equus: The Story of the Horse: Origins,” which concludes next week. As its title suggests, tonight’s first part explores the evolutionary journey of the steed, which first appeared as a tiny, forestdwelling creature known as the Dawn Horse. Scientists continue to work on decoding the extraordinary emotional intelligence of these majestic animals.

THURSDAY

SATURDAY

10:01 p.m. on A&E 60 Days In A new episode called “It’s About to Get Ugly” finds all seven of the participants successfully embedded in the Arizona facility, but some of them are having a difficult time remembering that it’s essential they keep their distance from one another so as not to betray their real identities. In fact, one participant already is coming perilously close to bringing the whole program to an abrupt and premature end.

8 p.m. on LIFE Movie: Escaping the Madhouse: The Nellie Bly Story Inspired by a true story, this new TV drama stars Christina Ricci as pioneering investigative reporter Nellie Bly, who feigns mental illness to be admitted as a patient at the notorious Women’s Lunatic Asylum, where she hopes to gather research for an expose on the facility. In this fictionalized account of actual events, Nellie’s treatment there leaves her with no recollection of how she came to the asylum or, indeed, even her real identity.

FRIDAY 8:30 p.m. on ABC Speechless Kenneth (Cedric Yarbrough) inadvertently ruffles Maya’s (Minnie Driver) feathers when he tries to insert himself into her business plans with Melanie (guest star Sarah Chalke) in tonight’s new episode. As JJ (Micah Fowler) begins pre-production on his next film, Ray (Mason Cook) pleads with his brother to cast him opposite Ray’s latest crush, Izzy (guest star Kayla Maisonet).

Inaugural Pizza with Police a success

By Isabel Hughes isabel.hughes @gwinnettdailypost.com

Nearly 75 community members spent the evening with Gwinnett County Police Department officers Tuesday as part of a communitybuilding event put on by the department.

The event, Pizza with the Police, was hosted with the goal of sharing a meal with local residents to address concerns in a relaxed atmosphere and “for us (the police) to educate the community on simple things they can do to help prevent crime in their community,” said Officer Ashley Wilson.

As the first dinner event of its kind for the department, Wilson said the evening was a success.

The event is a twist on the nationwide program Coffee with a Cop, which brings together law enforcement officers and the community members they serve to discuss issues and learn more about each other.

Tuesday’s Pizza with Police was held at Lawrenceville’s Mt. Sinai Baptist Church, with pizza donated from Marco’s Pizza and tea donated from Chick-filA.

There’s been a lot of chatter on social media since Georgia’s ignominious Sugar Bowl defeat at the hands of 15th-ranked Texas, most of it negative (duh) and most of it directed at head coach Kirby Smart (double duh).

According to the wags, it was primarily Smart’s fault the Dawgs played so poorly.

On one level, I get it.

When you’re the head honcho, whether coaching a team or managing a restaurant, all the responsibility for the group’s performance falls on your shoulders. And that’s as it should be.

But it doesn’t mean everything is always your fault.

Among the more vocal critics was former Georgia running back Tim Worley, who slammed Smart in an article on the Dawg Nation website. I know Worley is a UGA legend — well, “legend” might be a bit of an exaggeration; I’ve been an SEC fan for 45 years, and I had to look him up — but his screed left me scratching my head.

During Worley’s time Between the Hedges, from 1985 to 1989, the Dawgs never won more than 9 games in a season, never won an SEC championship and never finished higher than 13th in the national rankings. So I was a bit perplexed by his attacks on the current program — and its coach.

Still, that didn’t stop Worley from laying the blame for the humiliation squarely at Smart’s feet.

Noting that the coach had been quoted as saying of his team, “I hope they learn that you better show up to play every game,” Worley countered with, “You can’t hope they get it. You have to make them get it.”

He’s not entirely wrong.

“Making them get it” is, in a nutshell, a coach’s job. But these are young men. Kids. They’re not always going to get it, and sometimes there’s nothing anyone can do to make

Rob Jenkins

them.

I speak as someone who coached small college basketball for 13 years, including eight as a head coach, with a fair amount of success — but also some failures. On a couple of occasions, my guys didn’t show up for big games.

Was that my fault? Yes. No. Those losses still sting, but to this day I don’t know what I could have done differently. I imagine, right now, Coach Smart is feeling much the same thing.

The way you measure a coach is by their response to adversity. Twice in his short career, Smart’s teams have bounced back mightily after ugly losses — to Auburn in 2017 and LSU this past season. That impressed me.

I’m not a member of Dawg Nation. I went to Tennessee. Nor am I a Kirby Smart fanboy. I liked Mark Richt and was sad to see him go. But I don’t believe Coach Smart is being treated fairly. He’s an exceptional young coach who has already accomplished the near-miraculous.

So cut him a break and see what happens next year.
