ARC chair: Gwinnett a key player in planning

BY CURT YEOMANS curt.yeomans@gwinnettdailypost.com

Atlanta Regional Commission Chairman Kerry Armstrong praised Gwinnett County’s involvement in addressing regional issues on Friday.

The comments came as Armstrong outlined some of the areas that the ARC is working on during his State of the Region Address to the MORE ONLINE Gwinnett Visit gwinnettdailypost.com Chamber at for a photo gallery. the Hilton Atlanta Northeast in Peachtree Corners. He discussed the ARC’s work on livable centers, addressing aging issues, transportation, education and homeland security during the address.

“Gwinnett’s the only place in this region that has a hand in every one of those conversations,” Armstrong said.

“I’m proud to say that, not only in security, but in transportation, aging services and everything we do, everywhere I go, the Gwinnett people are almost always the smartest people in the room.”

Temps in 70s don’t deter people from Snow Mountain

Saturday marked a first for 7-year-old Seneca, S.C., resident Reagan Wilbur.

While the precocious little girl had ridden sleds and tubes on snow before, she’d never done it away from the hilly property of her family’s home.

Since the weather has been unseasonably warm — it was in the mid-70s on Saturday — and since her parents are originally from Athens, they decided to bring her to the one place they knew she’d enjoy a wintry atmosphere this weekend.

They brought her to Snow Mountain — at Stone Mountain.

“We got a little snow where

The winter attraction has actually been a help to Stone Mountain, by giving it something to fill in a time of year that had previously been a dead period for the park.

This is the ninth season that Snow Mountain has been offered.

Gwinnett preparing to remember King’s life on MLK holiday

BY CURT YEOMANS

curt.yeomans @gwinnettdailypost.com

Eighty-eight and 49.

They might seem like two random numbers, but they have greater significance when they are looked at through the prism of Monday’s Martin Luther King Jr. Holiday.

King would have turned 88 this year. At the same time, 2017 will mark the 49th anniversary of his assassination.

They may be two numbers, but this year, 88 and 49 mark bookends for the life of a man whose message has reverberated through the decades.

And Gwinnettians will come together on Monday to celebrate that life.

The most visible sign of Gwinnett’s commemoration of King’s life may be the United Ebony Society of Gwinnett County Inc.’s 17th annual Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day Celebration in Lawrenceville.

This year’s theme will be “Striving for Excellence: Awareness, Education and Service.” Tying into that theme, recently retired Gwinnett County Public Schools Associate Superintendent Dr. Frances Davis will be the parade’s grand marshal.

“Early in her career, Dr. Frances Davis made an impact on the lives of children and has continued to expand that impact throughout a 30 year career,” The United Ebony

Society of Gwinnett said in a statement when it announced Davis’ selection in December.

The event will begin with a 25-minute program at 11 a.m., at the Gwinnett Justice and Administration Center’s Fallen Heroes Memorial, 75 Langley Drive in Lawrenceville.

Parade participants will then begin lining up at 11:30 a.m., and the parade will then begin at noon at The Central Gwinnett High School Black Knight Band march-

es down Lawrenceville Highway during last year’s Martin

Teen works with Lawrenceville PD to host police forum

BY CAILIN O’BRIEN

cailin.obrien @gwinnettdailypost.com

Grayson High School

senior Ephraim Kum wasn’t comfortable just watching clashes between the black commu-

nity and the police across the country this past summer.

He wanted to do something.

“I pictured a summit where people could discuss the issues of race and police engagements with African-Americans in a safe and productive and peaceful manner,” he said.

The 18-year-old began working with Capt. Tim Wallis from the Lawrenceville Police Department in the fall to create the department’s first Bridge the Gap Forum, which will take place next week.

Kum’s race and police activism in Lawrenceville began when his parents refused to let him join the protests in Atlanta after a rash of controversial police shootings across the country.

“My friend Annie and I wanted to go down to Atlanta to participate in one of the marches, but both our parents concluded it was too unsafe,” he said.

“So we decided to do something local.”

He said about 142 people showed up to the peaceful sit-in he hosted.

That’s when he met Wallis, the police official he called several months later when he came up with the idea for a race discussion forum.

Now, Kum is ready to host another peaceful group of people.

“And here we are, a week away from the forum,” he said.

Residents will gather Thursday at 7 p.m. on the fourth floor of Lawrenceville City Hall in the council chambers to talk to a panel made up officials and two civic of two law enforcement members. The panel will also take feedback from the residents.

The whole discussion should last about two Fri. 11-7 Sat. 10-8 hours.

Wallis said he’s lookSun. 10-5 ing forward to the open Motor Homes Galore! dialogue between his 5th Wheels department and the community it protects.

cations.

Kum hopes it ends by changing a few minds.

“My hope was that it would just promote a desire of collaboration and peace in the community,” he said. “And that it’ll spark future forums and other collaborative events to happen in the future.”

That last hope seems to be coming to fruition.

“The Lawrenceville Police Department expects to host future forums and continue building a dialogue to bring the community together,” Wallis said.

Dear Curtis, My 92 year old Mother has been living with us since last March. As we get ready to do our and her income taxes I was wondering if you could shed some light on my chances of claiming her as a dependant. Thank you!

Taxed in Lawrenceville Dear Taxed, With April 15th approaching yours is an excellent question and one I am often asked. Yes, it can be very confusing and my strongest advice would be to put yourself, and Mom’s taxes in the hands of a professional tax person.

That said, here are some basic rules to go by.

Any dependent must meet these tests, according to tax experts: • You (the caregiver) cannot be clamed as a dependent by another taxpayer • They must be a resident of the U.S., Canada or Mexico • They cannot file a joint tax return with a spouse.

Relationship The person you wish to claime as a dependent must be a relative. This includes a mother, father, grandparent, stepmother, stepfather, mother-in-law or father-in-law. They do NOT have to live with you to be claimed.

Elder’s Income Your loved one’s gross income for the year must be less than $3,950. Social Security is normally excludable, but if they have other income....interets, dividends, etc...some is taxable.

Amount of support you provide The rule is if you ae providing over half of their financial support for food, housing, medical transportation, clothing etc... If they live with you, include a reasonable percentage of your mortgage, utilities and other costs of your household in determining your level of support.

NOW OPEN

Claiming Medical Expenses Once your Mother does meet the IRS dependency tests, you can use any medical expenses you pay for them towards this itemized deduction.

Sharing Caregiver responsibilities If more than one family member is involved in Mom’s support, the rule of thumb is whoever provides more than 50 percent of the support is entitled to claim support. Please make sure this is clear with anyone else involved so that more than one person is not claiming Mom. Again, let me stress that if you are unsure about what deductions you are entitled to, it would be money well spent for your peace of mind to consult with a qualified tax preparer. These are just basic guidelines to get you started.

Duluth PD to enhance force with new drones

BY CAILIN O’BRIEN

cailin.obrien @gwinnettdailypost.com

The story of the missing Alzheimer’s patient from a few years ago stuck with Officer Ted Sadowski.

The man became confused and lost in the woods in the winter. The Duluth Police Department, where Sadowski works, had used all the resources they could to find the man.

It just wasn’t enough.

“He died in the forest,” Sadowski said.

That’s why Sadowski is so excited about the way Duluth PD plans to use its four new drones — he feels they could help the department save lives.

“It’ll be pretty effective,” he said.

Sadowski and six other officers trained to use the new drones Wednesday.

He said it was a little like controlling an remote controlled monster truck as a kid, just a bit more high-tech.

“The controller has an adapter for an iPad,” Sadowski said. “You’re pretty much looking at the iPad the whole time.”

One officer on each of the department’s four patrol shifts will use a drone and iPad each day.

Sadowski and two other officers will act as substitute drone handlers if one of the original four is absent.

“So pretty much every hour there will be a drone available,” Sadowski said.

It’ll be like adding an extra pair of police eyes in the sky, he said. Each drone comes equipped with a high-definition camera that can “see” at night.

Officers will be allowed to

fly their high-def cameras as high as 400 feet.

Sadowski said that will make basic police patrol functions more effective, which could mean a safer city. For example, a police officer who hears the sound of a fight or somebody hurt inside an apartment complex will have an easier time checking on the occupants’ well-being.

“If you were on the first floor, we’d walk over to the window to look inside,” he said.

But things get a little trickier when the apartment is on the third floor.

Officers can’t see in the windows and might waste time getting into the complex and knocking on the door when somebody inside needs medical attention.

That’s where a drone

would come in.

“We’d use the drone to fly up there and look in the window,” Sadowski said.

These particular drones go beyond acting as elevated eyes for the officers controlling them, though.

They also come equipped with forward looking infrared capabilities — meaning they can detect body heat.

“Trees and buildings look the same color (on the FLIR display),” Sadowski said. “Anything with heat stands out.”

Everyone’s body radiates heat, including the bodies of fleeing suspects.

Sadowski said the drones can be programmed to lock onto a particular body of heat and follow it without needing to be steered.

That means suspects will have a harder time ditching

the police.

“If an officer lost a guy and he’s running, we can deploy this,” Sadowski said. “You can direct officers like, ‘He’s running toward this building’ or whatever.”

Sadowski said he doesn’t anticipate always using the drones’ FLIR capabilities to catch bad guys. It could also be used to help find missing people — like the Alzheimer’s patient who died in the Buford woods several years ago.

“It could have possibly saved that man’s life,” he said. “I’m not saying it would have for sure, but it’s definitely a big help.”

The Duluth Police Department isn’t the only department in Gwinnett using drones, but it is the only department using the drones as a patrol tool.

Gwinnett County PD began using a drone in August.

But that machine focuses on traffic accidents.

“We have only used this equipment to assist in aerial photography of serious injury and fatality accidents,” said GCPD Cpl. Deon Washington. “Being able to utilize this tool for scene photography clears the scenes a lot faster.”

Duluth Mayor Nancy Harris said she and the rest of Duluth’s city council felt enthusiastic about the way Duluth PD planned to use its drones. That’s part of the reason council OK’d the purchase, which was funded through the PD’s Fiscal Year 2016 budget.

“We are excited about our public safety department any way you slice it,” Harris said. “They are just a progressive group of

people who use technology to protect our community.”

After convincing city council, Duluth PD needed to get through the Federal Aviation Administration, which has required the registration of drones since December, 2015. Sadowski said Duluth PD. Capt. Peter Wilson applied for permission from the FAA about two months ago.

“We had to wait or the drones to come in and then get trained on them,” Sadowski said.

But the red tape’s all out of the way, now. The drones are ready to act as part of Duluth PD’s patrol force — ready to serve and protect alongside the officers.

“Using (a drone) is actually pretty cool,” Sadowski said. “Technology has changed so much.”

Zeno was likely killed somewhere else and Washington said he doesn’t believe there’s any link between the woman and the homeowner whose yard she ended up in.

He said the plastic blue bin was a two- or three-foot-long container commonly used to store clothes. It was found open in the yard, but the lid was

nearby. Washington said he suspected the it fell off when the bin was dropped into the yard.

“I understand the area is notorious for trash dumping,” Washington said.

That might be why whoever dumped the body picked that spot.

“At this point, detectives are exploring every possible theory in the case and are working on a victimology to paint a clear picture of the victim’s past,” Washington said.

Caution is needed with proton pump inhibitors Dear Dr. rOaCH: Like thousands of people, I have experienced heartburn for years. Chewable antacid tablets provide temporary relief. Extended use of ranitidine and famotidine gave me partial relief, but I still required regular use of antacid tablets. But starting omeprazole gave me immediate and complete relief. I’m sure results are different for different people. The package for omeprazole says “three 14-day courses of treatment.” My question is, can omeprazole be safely taken long term?

— Anon. ansWer: Omeprazole (Prilosec and others) is a proton pump inhibitor, which prevents the stomach from making acid.

This class of drugs is very effective for many people with symptoms of acid reflux, or GERD. There are two reasons to be cautious about longterm use. The first is that, like all medicines, PPIs have side effects. Among the side effects are an increase in the risk of bacterial pneumonia, increased likelihood of osteoporosis and possible adverse effects on the kidney.

The second reason is that the same symptoms attributed to GERD might be something more serious, such as ulcers or stomach cancer. Guidelines by gastroenterological societies recommend a careful evaluation in those who require long-term treatment, and I absolutely agree.

My experience is that many people take these drugs long term even if they didn’t have longterm symptoms when they started. Many patients can come off these medications and can be treated with lifestyle changes or sometimes with occasional use of medications like ranitidine (Zantac) or famotidine (Pepcid).

These are antihistamines specific for the stomach that partially block acid secretion. However, for those who continue to have significant symptoms despite other treatments and who have had a thorough evaluation to rule out serious problems, long-term use is reasonable. reaDers: The booklet on back problems gives an outline of the causes of and treatments for the more-common back maladies.

world&nation Trump rips civil rights icon Lewis By eugene scott

CNN

President-elect Donald Trump harshly responded to civil rights icon and Georgia Rep. John Lewis on Saturday, calling him “all talk” and “no action” after Lewis said Trump was not a “legitimate” president.

“Congressman John Lewis should spend more time on fixing and helping his district, which is in horrible shape and falling apart (not to mention crime infested) rather than falsely complaining about the election results. All talk, talk, talk— no action or results. Sad,” Trump tweeted Saturday, which happened to fall on the weekend of the Martin Luther King Jr. federal holiday.

Lewis — an ally of King who was brutally beaten by police in Selma, Ala., in 1965 while marching for civil rights — represents a Georgia district that includes most of Atlanta. On the campaign trail, Trump regularly decried Cubans find Web, crime in urban areas while like change, is pledging to revitalize neighborhoods primarily populated slow to come by black Americans.

SpaceX returns to flight, has successful rocket landing

By AzAdeh AnsAri And JAckie WAttles CNN

SpaceX returned to flight Saturday after a 4 1/2 month hiatus.

The private space exploration company headed by Tesla CEO Elon Musk launched a Falcon 9 rocket from Vandenberg Air Force Base in California at 9:54 a.m., taking 10 satellites into space for voice and data company Iridium.

It marked the company’s first

Must read launch since a Falcon 9 rocket exploded at Cape Canaveral, Florida, in September.

The launch’s success Saturday was made even sweeter by a smooth return landing for the Falcon 9 rocket’s first stage booster.

It safely returned from space and glided to a landing on a seafaring platform, known as a drone ship.

SpaceX has been attempting to perfect the rocket landing — along with rivals such as Blue Origin from Amazon founder Jeff Bezos.

Because rockets are worth tens of millions of dollars, and they have historically been discarded after launch, mastering the landing is key to making space travel more affordable.

Saturday’s launch marks the seventh time SpaceX has successfully landed a rocket.

A little more than an hour after launch, Musk announced that all 10 Iridium satellites were successfully deployed into orbit. Iridium is using the satellites to develop a revamped voice and data communications network, dubbed NEXT. About 80 Iridium NEXT satellites are scheduled to be deployed, and SpaceX is committed to carrying at least 70 of them.

Iridium says the NEXT satellites, delivered to low Earth orbit, are designed to provide “real time

connections between people, organizations and assets to and from anywhere.”

Iridium says NEXT “will replace the world’s largest commercial satellite network of low-Earth orbit satellites in what will be one of the largest ‘tech upgrades in history.’”

SpaceX’s highly anticipated launch was initially scheduled for Monday, but flight plans were canceled because of high winds and rain.

Honeymoon is over before it even began

WASHINGTON — The shortest honeymoon on record is officially over. Normally, newly elected presidents enjoy a wave of goodwill that allows them to fly high at least through their first 100 days. Donald Trump has not yet been sworn in, and the honeymoon has already come and gone.

Presidents-elect usually lie low during the interregnum. Trump never lies low. He seized the actual presidency from Barack Obama within weeks of his election — cutting ostentatious deals with U.S. manufacturers to keep jobs at home, challenging 40-year-old China policy, getting into a very public fight with the intelligence agencies. By now he has taken over the presidential stage. It is true that we have only one president at a time, and for over a month it’s been Donald Trump.

The result is quantifiable. A Quinnipiac poll from Nov. 17-20 — the Charles quiet, hope-and-change Krauthammer phase — showed a decided bump in Trump’s popularity and in general national optimism. It didn’t last long. In the latest Quinnipiac poll, the numbers have essentially returned to Trump’s (historically dismal) pre-election levels.

For several reasons. First, the refusal of an unbending left to accept the legitimacy of Trump’s victory. It’s not just the demonstrators chanting “not my president.” It is leading Democrats pushing one line after another to delegitimize the election, as in: he lost the popular vote, it’s James Comey’s fault, the Russians did it.

Second, Trump’s own instincts and inclinations, a thirst for attention that leads to hyperactivity. His need to dominate every news cycle feeds an almost compulsive tweet habit. It has placed him just about continuously at the center of the national conversation, and not always to his benefit.

Trump simply can’t resist playground pushback. His tweets gave Meryl Streep’s Golden Globes screed priceless publicity. His mocking Arnold Schwarzenegger for bad “Apprentice” ratings — compared with “the ratings machine, DJT” — made Trump look small and Arnold (almost) sympathetic.

Nor is this behavior likely to change after the inauguration. It’s part of Trump’s character.

Nothing negative goes unanswered because, for Trump, an unanswered slight has the air of concession or surrender.

Finally, it’s his chronic indiscipline, his jumping randomly from one subject to another without rhyme, reason or larger strategy. In a week packed with confirmation hearings and Russian hacking allegations, what was he doing meeting with Robert Kennedy Jr., an anti-vaccine activist pushing the thoroughly discredited idea that vaccines cause autism?

We know from way back during the Republican debates that Trump himself has dabbled in this dubious territory. One could, however, write it off as one of many campaign oddities that would surely fade away. Not so, apparently.

This is not good. The idea that vaccines cause autism originally arose in a 1998 paper in the medical journal The Lancet that was later found to be fraudulent and had to be retracted.

Indeed, the lead researcher acted so egregiously that he was stripped of his medical license.

Kennedy says that Trump asked him to chair a commission about vaccine safety. While denying that, the transition team does say that the commission idea remains open. Either way, the damage is done. The anti-vaccine fanatics seek any validation. This indirect endorsement from Trump is immensely harmful. Vaccination has prevented more childhood suffering and death than any other measure in history. With so many issues pressing, why even go there?

The vaccination issue was merely an exclamation point on the scatter-brained randomness of the Trump transition — all of which contributes to the harried, almost wearying feeling that we are already well into the Trump presidency.

Compare this to eight years ago and the near euphoria — overblown but nonetheless palpable — at the swearing-in of Barack Obama. Not since JFK had any new president enjoyed such genuine goodwill upon accession to office.

And yet it turns out that such auspicious beginnings are not at all predictive. We could see it this same week. Tuesday night, there stood Obama giving a farewell address that only underscored the failure of a presidency so bathed in optimism at its start. The final speech, amazingly, could have been given, nearly unedited, in 2008. Why, it even ended with “yes we can.”

Is there more powerful evidence of the emptiness of the intervening two terms? When your final statement is a reprise of your first, you have unwittingly confessed to being nothing more than a historical parenthesis.

Hide the silverware; Legislature is coming To Arms! To Arms! The Legislature is coming, the Legislature is coming!

I thought Paul Revere would have shared the news with you, but he seems to think it is more important that you know about the British, who can’t be anywhere near as prone to mischief as our intrepid public servants. Just to be on the safe side, you might want to hide the silverware from now until our boys and girls come back home from the Gold Dome in March to tell us what a swell job they did on our behalf.

If they mention that while there they did indeed take a trip to a posh resort to play golf with a lizard-loafered lobbyist and were feted several times at a swanky Atlanta eatery and accepted generous contributions to their campaign coffers from deeppocketed, out-of-state special interest groups but that none of these trivialities in any shape, form or fashion influenced how they voted on any issue because they are there to serve you — throw up on their shoes.

Given that statewide elections are set to occur in 2018, you will see more than the usual amount of political posturing this session as potential candidates for higher office strut their stuff, trying to convince you and me that they have what it takes to be

Dick Yarbrough our next generation of leaders.

Just remember that the more you see a legislator blathering on the evening news during the session, the more suspicious you should be. They are clearly running for something bigger than their current job and have their interests at heart, not yours.

Against this backdrop, Gov. Nathan Deal will present his legislative agenda, including a long-awaited education reform package. As for what the governor is proposing in that regard, perhaps the overwhelming defeat of Amendment 1 last fall that would have authorized a state takeover of public schools deemed to be failing will have served as a learning lesson to the governor’s team this time around. They don’t like to hear this — trust me on that — but they were outhustled by the opposition. The defeat was blamed on the national teacher’s union, but I suggest it was a combination of

the Georgia PTA, civil rights groups, newspaper editorials and tired-of-being-a-punchingbag schoolteachers that was most responsible.

I reach more schoolteachers in Georgia weekly than any writer in the state. I write about public education issues as much as anyone in the state.

I had the privilege of serving as a member of the Governor’s Education Reform Commission. I have three public schoolteachers in my family.

Yet I never heard from anyone on why Amendment 1 would benefit public education. The opposition covered me up with information as to why the amendment would not benefit public education. Go figure.

Gov. Nathan Deal no doubt will be well-remembered for his successful efforts to overhaul the state’s criminal justice system. (Note: I am a board member of The Department of Juvenile Justice.)

Today, Georgia is regarded as a national leader in criminal justice reform and gets high marks from both conservative and liberal groups for its innovations.

I am sure the governor would like to do the same with education reform but between a wary education community, Kool-Aid drinking ideologues who are looking for any opportunity to dismantle public education and demagogues

miffed that the “Religious Liberty” and “Guns Anywhere Except the State Capitol” bills were vetoed by the governor, education reform is going to be a challenge this session.

Know this about Gov. Deal: Underestimate him at your own risk. He may be winding down his second and last term and may be considered by some as a lame duck, but the governor of Georgia — any governor — has a lot of power inherent in the office to reward his friends and punish his foes.

On a personal note, this will be the first legislative session in 16 years without Rep. Joe Wilkinson of Sandy Springs, who decided to step out of the political sausage-making business and move on with his life. Good for him. Wilkinson never missed one day of the session in those 16 years, even when undergoing a series of radiation treatments for cancer which, thankfully, were successful. Joe Wilkinson took his job seriously, but not himself.

A rare breed in politics.

Now, if you will excuse me, I must go. Some guy in a cocked hat just rode by on a horse and told me the Legislature is coming! Time to hide the silverware.

Who cares what Hollywood, Streep think?

Hollywood has gone just plain bat-droppings crazy!

There. I said it, and like just about everything I say, I mean it and I’m not taking it back, no matter how many ugly emails I get from bedwetting liberals out there in cyber-land.

I like movies. I like television. I like listening to people sing who can sing. George Jones did it better than just about anybody I ever heard. I have favorite stars in all areas of entertainment. But honesty compels me to admit that I don’t give a rat’s rear end what any of them think about politics.

Why would I? Let me ask you something: Why in the world do so many people take at face value what people in Hollywood say about social issues and current events? Why would you believe people who are the best in the world at pretending they are something that they are not?

Doesn’t make a lick of sense, does it?

I used to really enjoy the awards shows. They used to provide a nice recap of the entertainment season. Bob Hope hosted the Academy Awards and was always funny, and they showed most of my favorite stars all dressed up. It was fun.

I listen to someone who is the best there is at being something she isn’t — I mean second to Hillary Clinton, of course.

Streep has long been an active left-wing agitator and made a glowing speech in support of Hillary Clinton at the Democratic National Convention last summer, so we shouldn’t be surprised that she would use her golden moment to bash the guy America chose over Hillary.

Streep, who in the past has mocked religion and the idea that prayer could ever change anything, warned the world in her tirade that if we kick all the Hollywood lunatics out “we’d have nothing to watch except football and mixed martial arts.”

I don’t think anybody ever suggested kicking actors out of Hollywood. They were the ones swearing they would leave the country if Trump was elected. More empty words, by the way. We just want them to shut up and act.

And I don’t think I’ve ever seen a movie as compelling at Monday night’s championship game between Clemson and Alabama.

I wish John Wayne were around to set Meryl Streep straight. And when the Oscars come on in a few weeks — I’ll be watching reruns of Herschel Walker competing in the MMA.

Among the types of performers producers are looking for is a “strong female contemporary singer.”

Singers are asked to bring one a cappella piece to sing at the audition.

“The Way of the Cross” will be performed from April 6 to 9 at First United Methodist Church of Lawrenceville.

and with last weekend’s expected snowstorm turning out to be a bust, she hasn’t really had a chance to see snow in metro Atlanta this year.

“It’s really pretty,” she said.

Jones said that, despite the warm weather, the park has technology that allows it to make snow that can hold up in warmer weather.

She said it is real snow, made from water, and it can melt so they have to be careful to constantly maintain it.

“We’re able to make snow and maintain it up to 75 degrees, and we’re able to make such large quantities that we’re pretty much in constant snow production,” she said. “We’ve been blowing snow since early October and we have not shut the snow machines down since then and we probably won’t until the end of February …

“We definitely prefer cooler temperatures, but it’s not impossible for us.”

She said the park also uses an environmentally friendly process of making the snow as well, by making it from water in the park’s lake and then send-

ing the water left behind after the snow melts back to the lake.

Another group of firsttimers, Atlanta residents Greg and Jenny Bianchi, visited with their 8-yearold daughter, Sally, and quickly took to the tubing as well. On one trip, the parents rode in a double tube in one lane while their daughter rode a single tube in the neighboring lane.

As they came down the hill, Jenny Bianchi took out her cellphone and snapped a picture of her daughter as she and her husband whipped by.

Bianchi echoed Laco’s assessment of the attraction.

“It’s just fun,” she said.

“I would recommend it to my friends.”

But what did little Reagan Wilbur think?

“I love it,” she exclaimed.

“I like the big one (Avalanche Alley) because I like the way we drop down that hill. It’s really fast.”

“Due to our relocating and some other unforeseen circumstances, my church (New Jerusalem Baptist Church) and I were not able to plan this year’s King Day celebration and observance as faithfully as we have done in the past,” Pastor Elijah Collins Jr. announced this past week on the church’s Facebook page.

Collins is encouraging people who had attended the Snellville parade in the past to attend the one in Lawrenceville this year.

Parades and ceremonies won’t be the only ways King’s life is celebrated on Monday.

The Upsilon Alpha Omega chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority is planning to take time to follow the mantra of “A day on, not a day off” by participating in some community service projects.

The group has committed itself to undertake 700 hours of community

service.

That service will include removing trash and debris from the sides of Five Forks Trickum Road from 8:30 to 9:30 a.m. The group will also collect donations of winter weather clothing such as hats, scarves and gloves to donate to the Norcross Co-Op. They will collect the items at the Five Forks Trickum library branch during the clean-up event and at Moore Middle School after the parade in Lawrenceville.

Other activities the chapter is taking on include sorting and packaging food at the Norcross Co-Op, and cleaning and sorting clothing for seniors at Salem Missionary Baptist Church in Lilburn.

Another option for Gwinnettians looking to make the most of the King holiday is to take advantage of the National Park Service’s free admission to any national park on Monday. The holiday is one of

10 days this year on which admission to national parks will be waived in celebration of the agency’s 100th birthday.

How can Gwinnett residents remember King’s legacy by visiting a national park you may ask? It’s simple. Among its many parks around the country, the National Parks Service also runs the Martin Luther King Jr. National Historic Site in Atlanta.

That includes King’s birth home, which will host walk through tours on the first floor from 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

The parks service will also host a children’s corner with arts, crafts, a photo booth and the park’s Junior Ranger program on Auburn Avenue near King’s birth home.

Preservation exhibits will also be available through the park’s historic sites.

The historic site is located at 450 Auburn Ave. in Atlanta.

A lot of the information Armstrong went over in his speech reviewed information he and the ARC had previously released, such as the Metro Atlanta Speaks survey results and statistics that project Gwinnett will be Georgia’s most populous county by 2040.

The ARC board chairman explained that he wouldn’t dive too deeply into Gwinnett stats because he didn’t want to steal any thunder from Duluth Mayor Nancy Harris’ State of the City Address on Jan. 23, or county commission Chairwoman Charlotte Nash’s State of the County Address on Feb. 16.

“There’s great new happenings all around the region,” he said. “There are some things to be concerned about, but in general, when you look at all of the trend lines, we’re headed in the right direction and if we keep our shoulders to the wheel, we’ll be able to continue that trend and continue to be strong.”

Still, he teased the ARC would be releasing information on its Learn for Life initiative, which is focused on “cradle to career” learning opportunities in the future. Gwinnett County Public Schools Superintendent Alvin Wilbanks has been involved in regional discussions related to that program, Armstrong said.

“There has been glimpses of this around the country and there’s been some great success,” Armstrong said. “Several people in the ARC and some of our partners have been formulating this idea over the last several years … It’s now about to start to take root and you’ll be hearing more and more about that.”

Armstrong later said, “We all know anything Alvin has been involved in is probably going to be pretty good.”

The ARC chairman also held up Gwinnett’s public safety officials involvement in the commission’s Urban Area Security Initiative as another example of Gwinnett’s leadership in the region. The initiative, also known as UASI, is an effort to address regional homeland security threats in the Atlanta area.

Armstrong said the briefings on security issues can be scary, but he said Gwinnett’s public safety officials bring knowledge and reassurance to the conversation.

“At every meeting I’ve participated in, every person from Gwinnett County has been absolutely best of class,” he said.

Nash said it isn’t surprising that Gwinnett is heavily involved in regional planning because the county’s leaders want Gwinnett to be a regional leader. The ability to be a trendsetter for the region, state, nation and — if possible — the entire world (or the universe as officials sometimes joke) is something county leaders pride themselves on.

“If we’re going to be involved in it, we want to be really involved,” she

said. “We want to know what’s going on, we want to use the information that we can gain through the regional process but we also want to influence what is being looked at from a regional perspective. Gwinnett is a huge part of the region so we want to make sure we have our say in things, too.”

The ARC chairman also rehashed some of the Gwinnett-specific and transportation-related figures from the Metro Atlanta Speaks Survey that was released last year. Armstrong explained transportation was the leading concern of survey participants for the third year in a row in 2016.

He said 28 percent of Gwinnett County respondents said they frequently didn’t have transportation to get where they need to go. That’s compared to 30 percent of respondents across all of metro Atlanta who said the same thing.

“When asked for the best way to fix traffic in the region, it was a mixed bag, but the majority of respondents including many in Gwinnett, thought it was to expand public transit in a variety of forms,” he said. “Other options were to improve or expand roadways or to build communities close to where people work.

We need to strengthen the whole network.”

Gwinnett is itself in the midst of a major update to its Comprehensive Transportation Plan. A list of short-term goals was released last year, but officials are expected to finalize the new plan, as well as a list of long-term projects, this year.

Nash said the ARC’s findings for the region and the county can’t be disregarded when the county is working on its update.

Still, it’s just one piece of the pie that Gwinnett leaders need to look at, in addition to the county’s own data and findings from public input meeting and surveys.

“We don’t look at things in a vacuum,” Nash said.

“Obviously our focus is on Gwinnett County and what Gwinnett County’s needs and what the wants of its residents are. But we’re not an entity, an island, all by ourselves so we have to look at things from a regional perspective to understand what the thrust from the regional level is so we know how best to fit into that.”

Another survey result indicated 80 percent of Gwinnettians said their communities were good or excellent places to live.

What concerned Armstrong, however, was the number of people who said they couldn’t cover, or would at least have a hard time covering, the cost of a $400 emergency expense if one came up.

About half of the respondents across the region said they couldn’t do it, he said.

“That concerns us,” he said. “When you think about all of the growth in the economy, that big middle is still struggling and we cannot forget that.

The implications of forgetting that are dire for our entire region.”

Learning to lead Lanier High School event focuses on diversity, inclusivity with array of students

By Keith Farner

keith.farner @gwinnettdailypost.com

Given the cultural climate of America today, students across the Lanier cluster on Friday focused on an element of leadership that is in short supply.

Austin Paschall, a junior at Lanier High School, served as a leader mentor at the third annual Student Leadership Conference at the Gwinnett Environmental and Heritage Center.

Paschall said he learned the fundamentals of leadership when he was a younger child, like many of the students he led, and he hoped to pass that on to them. This is the second year he’s helped with the event.

“Being a leader is more than just telling people what to do,” he said. “It’s about connecting with other people and actually listening to them.”

Some of the activities in which the 150 students in third grade through high school participated consisted of identifying on a map where their family’s heritage began around the world. Another station took a heart map called “let’s do some heart surgery” which centered on areas of their life to forgive others. They also decorated doll figures in their own likeness.

More than a dozen Lanier High School students served as leaders and facilitators. This year’s theme was, “One Voice, One Community, Lanier Cluster Schools.”

Those exercises were designed to address some tensions in society.

“The way the world is right now,” Paschall said, “it’s in a tough place, and what I try to do is I try to be positive and try to connect to other people and affect them in a way that’s positive as well so they can see the world as I do.”

The conference annually is designed to engage students to improve their leadership abilities, but Sycamore Elementary School Principal Crystal Cooper Thompson said this year they added more diversity and inclusivity into the conversation.

Students from across the Lanier cluster gathered for the third annual leadership conference where they learned an anti-bullying and anti-bias message.

“Right now, the way the times are right now, there’s a lot of tension,” said Jennifer Diaz, a counselor at Lanier Middle School. “We need to address that, and of course we educators believe the way

we can best address that is by teaching our kids what the world needs to be and empowering them to be able to do that as they grow older.”

Thompson said the conference was a priority for her when she became a principal five years ago.

“The children really feel important and really have an opportunity to feel like part of

Dogs rescued from neglect thrive at animal shelter

By Cailin o’Brien

cailin.obrien @gwinnettdailypost.com

Two dogs who suffered apparent neglect in a Buford home are now receiving love and medical care at the Gwinnett County Animal Shelter.

“The dogs appear to be thriving at the shelter,” said Gwinnett County police Cpl. Michele Pihera.

Pihera said an animal control officer seized the two dogs from a house on Railroad Avenue after a neighbor called the animal shelter to complain about a black dog that had been running loose for several days. He said the dog had an injury to his right hip and believed he belonged to the house on Railroad Avenue.

The officer found the black lab and visited the house. There, he found a pitbull tied to a tree on a

3-foot leash. He had only a plastic dog crate for shelter.

“The crate was full of water and mud,” the animal control officer wrote in his report. “The cable would not allow the canine to reach the crate or any food

or water.”

The pitbull’s ribs were visible.

The dogs’ owner, Elaina Green, wasn’t home, but the officer took the dogs to the shelter, anyway.

The officer returned to the home Jan. 8 and gave

Green citations for one count of not restraining a dog, one count of tethering a dog illegally and two counts of neglect.

Meanwhile, the rescued dogs seem to be enjoying life together in the shelter.

“These two boys are the

best of friends and stay side-by-side when they play outside,” Pihera said.

The pups aren’t available for adoption to the public quite yet. Both are suffering from heartworm and their ongoing medical needs mean they’re only

available to rescue groups for now.

Still, Pihera said it’s obvious they’re on their way to happier lives.

“It’s heartwarming to see the progress these boys have made in such a short period of time,” she said.

The driver of the Honda tried to turn left to head northbound on Ga. Highway 81, but turned in front of a Volvo S80 traveling west on Ga. Highway 316.

The Lawrenceville man driving the Volvo wasn’t able to stop in time and hit the Honda, splitting it in half and shutting down

Ga. Highway 316 for three hours. Manders died on the scene.

He was less than three miles away from home, Lawrencville resident Craig Rucker wrote on the GoFundMe account he created. He allegedly works with James’ father, Nathan Manders.

Forty-five firefighters were needed to stop an early morning apartment fire that left 24 people without a place to stay on Saturday morning.

Gwinnett County Deputy Fire Chief Charles Wells said firefighters were called to Amber Trail Apartments on the 2900 block of Old Norcross Road in unincorporated Duluth at 5:34 a.m.

The initial call was only about smoke coming from a building.

“While responding, firefighters saw a large orange glow from the complex and upgraded the incident to an apartment fire,” Wells said in a statement. “On arrival, firefighters found a working fire in the attic of a two-story,12-unit apartment building. First arriving units began a quick door-to-door evacuation of the building.

“This is an older building and the smoke alarms are not connected to a central alarm system.”

Additional firefighting units were called in to assist with the fire, which caused extensive damage

but did not result in injuries, according to Wells.

He explained 22 adults and two children were displaced by the fire, and they are receiving help from the Red Cross.

Firefighters don’t believe there is anything suspicious about the fire’s cause at this point, but Wells said investigators are still trying to figure out what the cause was.

“This is a great example of the importance of having working smoke alarms,” Wells said. “If the occupant had not heard the smoke alarm, the potential of injury or loss of life could have been significant.

“Gwinnett County Fire and Emergency Services urges everyone to have working smoke alarms in all living and sleeping areas, have a home escape plan and check your smoke alarms on a regular basis.”

Wells said residents who need a smoke alarm or additional help with safety information can call the Gwinnett Fire Community Risk Reduction Division at 678-518-4845. They can also send an email to fireprograms@gwinnettcounty.com.

Senators vote to start Obamacare repeal U.S. Sens. Johnny Isakson and David Perdue, both R-Ga., were among the 51 senators who voted for a budget resolution that is a first step in Republican’s efforts repeal the Affordable Care Act this past week.

Although both senators said a replacement needs to be in place before President Barack Obama’s signature health care bill, commonly known as Obamacare, is taken off the books, they praised the passage of the budget resolution. Isakson’s office said it puts the tools in place to repeal the Affordable Care Act while Perdue hinted repealing it might take some time.

“While I am concerned with the lack of direction we’ve seen in Congress, these important decisions that will directly impact Americans’ health care must not be rushed,” Perdue said in a statement. “We have to get it right. There are various common-sense Republican health care solutions that would provide greater coverage options, drive down costs and improve continuity of care.

“These ideas have been studied and debated over the years, and it’s time we

coalesce around a solution that will work.”

Isakson added: “It’s essential for us to do it, and I plan to commit myself seeing to it that for my part we repeal Obamacare, we replace it with a sustainable program and we return the program to the states wherever possible. And we will

see to it Americans once again have health insurance coverage at a competitive and a fair price.”

Falcons pounce on Seahawks 36-20 By cHristine troyke christine.troyke@ gwinnettdailypost.com

ATLANTA — Atlanta has scored more times when starting inside its own 10-yard line than any team in the league.

By far.

The Falcons’ 11th such drive — no other team has more than six — broke open a tight game and sent them to the NFC championship.

Matt Ryan orchestrated a pivotal 99-yard scoring

drive in the final minutes of the second quarter and led Atlanta to a 36-20 victory over Seattle at the Georgia Dome on Saturday.

Tevin Coleman was wide open in the end zone for a 14-yard reception from Ryan for a 19-10 lead with 59 seconds left in the first half.

“It feels awesome,” said receiver Mohamed Sanu when asked how it felt to be a win away from a potential Super Bowl berth. “But we can’t look

ahead. All we’re thinking about is next week.”

The Falcons scored again on the opening drive of the second half and kept giving the home crowd reasons to roar.

Ryan finished with 338 yards on 26 of 37 passing.

He connected with Julio Jones, Coleman and Sanu for touchdown receptions.

“He was on it like he has been all year,” Falcons coach Dan Quinn said of his quarterback.

The sellout crowd chanted “MVP! … MVP!

… MVP!” as Ryan put the game out of reach with completion after completion.

“It was pretty cool, especially considering the circumstances with the game in hand,” Ryan said.

“I appreciate our fans.

They’re the best. … The Dome was really rocking.”

One point belabored in the lead-up to the divisional game was Ryan’s Atlanta’s Matt Ryan, left, and Taylor Gabriel (18) congrat1-4 playoff record. But ulate Mohamed Sanu after his second half touchdown

Title drive

By Will Hammock will.hammock@gwinnettdailypost.com

Daniel Johnson’s long journey to pro soccer reached a happy ending Friday.

The Duluth resident was selected by the Chicago Fire in the first round of the Major League Soccer SuperDraft. He was the No. 11 overall pick.

Johnson, 21, played two college seasons at Maryland and his final two at Louisville. The 5-foot-9 midfielder stood out in the MLS Combine games leading up to the draft.

“We have followed Daniel over the last two years,” Fire general manager Nelson Rodriguez said. “We think he has some qualities that will be unique for our team. He’s slippery. Very good inside and outside. And he’s a soccer junkie.

We’re really taken with his love for the game. We like to have players in our locker room that want a soccer lifestyle.

And D.J. fits that.”

Johnson began chasing his professional soccer dreams before he reached the eighth grade. While his family remained in Gwinnett, he moved to London and attended Brentwood School after earning an opportunity with Premier League club West Ham United FC. He played for West Ham Academy’s youth teams from 2009-12, from when he was 13-17, and was offered a twoyear contract by the club for its under-18 team. But FIFA vetoed the deal because of child protection issues, and Johnson returned to the U.S. He played club soccer in 2012 with Georgia United and also played briefly with the high school team at Greater Atlanta Christian, where his older brother, Zack, was a standout. Zack played at Georgia Southern after high school.

After two seasons at Maryland, Johnson found his niche at Louisville. He had seven goals and five assists in 41 starts his final two seasons, earning All-ACC acclaim both years.

Atlanta United drafted Syracuse defender Miles Robinson at No. 2 overall, just behind UCLA’s Abu Danladi, who went first to Minnesota United. Atlanta used its second first-round pick (No. 8 overall) on midfielder Julian Gressel of Providence College.

Late momentum boost sends Buford to Class AAAAA state wrestling duals crown

By DaviD FrieDlanDer

david.friedlander@ gwinnettdailypost.com

MACON — In a meet that was almost literally back-and-forth in the Class AAAAA final of the GHSA State Wrestling Duals between Buford and Woodland-Cartersville, momentum was at a premium.

However, the Wolves grabbed it when they needed to the most, with a run of four wins in five matches that vaulted them into the lead and allowed them to eventually claim a 34-30 victory Saturday at the Macon Centreplex.

It was Buford’s second state duals title in four sea-

sons — the Wolves won the 2014 Class AAA champion-

ship — and their first under coach Tom Beuglas, who had guided Archer to four straight duals titles before coming to Buford over the summer.

And he credited his new team’s ability to grasp momentum after it had shifted several times throughout the meet, one that didn’t get off to a good start thanks to an off the mat issue neither team could control.

“We didn’t win the (premeet) coin toss right off the bat,” Beuglas said. “So I knew that we weren’t going to get the match-ups we See WOLVES, Page 4B

MACON — Both Archer and Wesleyan knew their tasks would be tough heading into their respective classification’s finals at the GHSA State Duals Wrestling Championships at the Macon Centreplex on Saturday.

Despite carrying a fouryear title streak in the largest classification finals, the Tigers met their match in a tough Camden County team, which rolled to a 50-15 victory.

Tigers.

For the first time since its title run started in 2013, Archer, which had defeated Cherokee, Hillgrove and North Forsyth to reach the finals, knew it would not be the prohibitive favorite coming into Saturday’s finals, thanks to having a less-experienced team than in previous seasons, combined with the fact that Camden came into the meet riding a championship streak of its own after winning the Class AAAAA title Class A meet in last week’s Area 8-A duals, and the result each of the last two seasons. was very similar Saturday as See RUNNER-UP, Page 4B the Wolves fell 74-3 to the Archer head coach Keith Jannett (right) watches during the finals of the Class AAAAAAA State Finals on Saturday in Macon.

Florida outlasts Georgia basketball 80-76 in OT The SporTS Xchange Florida coach Mike White had a premonition and it wasn’t the type a coach likes to have before a game.

The Gators haven’t been clicking on all cylinders despite not losing in more than a month and he feared the team’s good fortune was about to turn.

“We had our worst practice yesterday in about a month,” White said after Saturday’s 80-76 overtime victory over Georgia. “I was really concerned going into this one.”

The Bulldogs indeed controlled most of the contest but Florida received a standout performance from senior guard Canyon Barry, who established season highs of 27 points and five 3-pointers to help the No. 23 Gators prevail in SEC play at Gainesville, Fla. Freshman forward Keith Stone added a career-best 17 points as the Gators (14-3, 5-0) won their seventh consecutive game.

Florida also recorded its 14th consecutive home victory over the Bulldogs.

But it surely wasn’t easy as the Gators never led by more than one point

prior to the overtime.

“It felt like we could never get into the flow but down the stretch everyone settled in and played off each other,” Barry said.

“Keith Stone knocked down some key shots and we did enough to win.”

Senior guard J.J. Frazier scored 25 points for Georgia (11-6, 3-2), which let an eight-point second-half lead slip away.

Junior guard Juwan Parker added 17 points and seven rebounds for the Bulldogs and junior forward Yante Maten scored 15 points before fouling

out.

“This was a very hardfought game,” Bulldogs coach Mark Fox said.

“One of which I was pleased with how we played and executed. You are never going to be able to play a perfect game. We had some costly mistakes, defensive mistakes, that really hurt us but those things are going to happen to a degree during the game.”

Florida sophomore guard KeVaughn Allen hit two free throws three seconds into the overtime to give the Gators their first

lead of more than one.

A driving hoop by Allen later in the session gave the Gators a 77-74 lead with 35.5 seconds to play and the lead was again three after Barry hit two underhand free throws with 16.7 seconds to go.

Frazier missed a tying 3-point attempt with nine seconds left as Georgia suffered its latest painful defeat on Florida’s home floor.

“It’s definitely a heartbreaker,” Parker said.

“Especially in a game where everyone on the team competed and played as hard as they possibly could, you hate to lose like that.”

And White could only breathe a sigh of relief.

“We’ve had three or four now where it’s been ugly at times and we’ve found a way,” White said.

In regulation, the Bulldogs took a 67-65 lead on a basket by freshman guard Jordan Harris with 1:09 left. Gators senior point guard Kasey Hill split four free throws over the final 25 seconds to send the game into overtime.

The Gators took their first lead of the game at 34-33 on Hill’s jumper 19

seconds into the second half.

Georgia responded with nine consecutive points, capped by Frazier’s basket to make it 42-34 with 16:59 to play.

The Bulldogs were up six after Parker’s 3-pointer with 12:30 to play but Barry scored the next seven — on a 3-pointer and his second four-point play of the game — to give Florida a 53-52 edge with 11:25 to go.

“He made the 3-point shots and he was in great rhythm,” Fox said of Barry. “Give him credit.

He was the difference in the game today.”

Harris and sophomore forward E’Torrion Wilridge followed with baskets to push Georgia right back ahead. The Gators moved to within one on three occasions over the next three-plus minutes before Frazier scored back-to-back baskets for a 64-59 lead with 4:43 remaining.

Hill scored four straight points to again pull Florida within one and Barry followed with a runner to give the Gators a 65-64 lead with 2:18 to play.

Georgia never trailed in the first half and received

10 points from Frazier while taking a 33-32 lead into the break.

The Bulldogs set the tone by jumping out to an 8-2 lead and the only tie was at 11-11 shortly before the midway point of the half.

Georgia opened up a 24-17 lead on a basket by Parker and the Gators answered with six straight to make it a one-point game.

The Bulldogs scored the next five and held a 29-23 advantage after a 3-pointer

by Frazier with 1:50 left.

A 3-pointer by Stone with eight seconds left pulled Florida to within one.

Notes: The victory was Florida’s ninth in the last 11 meetings with Georgia. … Gators senior G Canyon Barry has scored in double digits in six of the last seven games. …

Bulldogs senior G J.J. Frazier’s 25-point outing raised his career total to 1,270 as he moved into 21st place on the school’s all-time scoring list. …

Florida sophomore G KeVaughn Allen scored in single digits (nine on 3-of8 shooting) for the second consecutive game after averaging 19.3 during a four-game stretch.

Gwinnett well-represented in Georgia vs. Texas showdown

paul.thomas@ gwinnettdailypost.com

New England Fri, 7:35 p.m.

As Kenyatta Watson Sr. was coaching his son Kenyatta Watson Jr. in youth leagues, camps and as a former community coach at Grayson High School, he began to believe that the Class of 2019 could be a special one in Georgia.

The older the kids got, the more sure of it he was.

Especially last year when a number of them started as freshman at the varsity level, including linebacker Owen Pappoe at Grayson and athlete Malik Washington at Parkview.

His goal was to bring attention to the talent he was seeing on the field from Kenyatta Watson Jr., a defensive back for the Rams, and his peers. It started as the hashtag #True19 and grew into an idea that will fully blossom today with an All-Star game against Texas dubbed the True 19 Georgia vs. Texas Sophomore Showdown.

Players from the Class of 2019 from Georgia and Texas were selected by Kenyatta Watson Sr. and others for a 2 p.m. game at Grady Stadium in Atlanta for an All-Star game.

“A lot of these kids I’ve coached, coached against, coached in all-star games or have seen at various camps. I’ve always said this to anybody that will listen, that the 2019 Class will be the best class to ever come out of the state of Georgia. For several reasons,” Watson Sr. said.

“Once they got to high school and we saw so many of the young ninthgraders start on varsity, I

was just like ‘We’ve got to do something for these kids to put them on more of a national radar.’”

The teams arrived in Atlanta on Friday for two days of practices, meetings and other activities, including a trip to the University of Georgia on Saturday afternoon.

There are 11 different players from Gwinnett representing Georgia in the game. Grayson leads the way with six players — Pappoe, Watson Jr., OL Wanya Morris, WR Jalen Roach, RB Ronald Thompkins and DT Tru Thompson. Buford will be represented by K Bernardo Burgos, OL Harry Miller and OL Riley Simmonds.

Archer’s Jalyn Phillips and Parkview’s Washington will also take part in the game.

“The chance to play some of the top Texas boys is priceless,” Washington said. “The level of competition they’ll bring will definitely help our game, but we’re ready to show them nothing is like Georgia football.”

Texas’ team will be highlighted by a strong

passing game. Receivers like Jordan Whittington, Arejei Henderson will be big targets for a pair of talented signal callers.

“They have some good receivers,” Watson Sr. said.

“They obviously have two of the most talented quarterbacks in Grant Gunnell and Terrance Gipson in the country.”

Gunnell is a 6-foot-6, 205-pound pro-style passer with offers already from Oklahoma State, Texas A&M, Baylor and Florida State, among others. The four-star prospect is Texas’ highest rated player at No. 53 in 247sports.com’s initial 2019 rankings.

Pappoe is Georgia’s highest rated player as the No. 2 player in the country.

The 6-foot-1, 205-pound outside linebacker already has 34 offers from the top ACC and SEC schools after helping the Rams win the Class AAAAAAA state championship this fall.

Frederica Academy Jashawn Sheffield, Cedar Grove receiver Jadon Haselwood and Walton receiver Dominick Blaylock are all ranked in the top 11 nationally.

Watson Sr. said the real depth of Georgia is along the lines.

“We have a plethora of guys up front,” Watson Sr. said. “We’re really deep.

That’s the thing that separates this Georgia class from a lot of classes in the past, is the depth up front on the offensive and defensive line.”

Georgia will be coached

by John Reid and his Rome High School staff.

They won the Class AAAAA state championship over Buford this season.

Watson Sr. said the game will become an annual event, always matching the top sophomores of each state against each other. Next year, Georgia will travel to Texas for the showdown.

“The hope is always to provide maximum exposure for our kids on a big level,” he said. “Also an opportunity to play the state of Texas. They never leave the state to really do anything, so the opportunity that we’re getting them to come here is big. It’s given a lot of people to get a chance to see what Texas football is all about. See some of those household names that will be coming through in the 2019 class.

The Biggest thing was exposure. Anything I do with the kids is always about getting the kids exposure.”

Alabama left tackle Cam Robinson is among three Crimson Tide standouts who declared for the NFL draft on Friday.

Robinson was joined by cornerback Marlon Humphrey and receiver ArDarius Stewart. The three announced their decisions at a campus press conference.

The 6-foot-6, 327-pound Robinson is rated the top offensive tackle for the 2016 draft and the 14th overall prospect by NFLDraftScout.com. He has been a dominating anchor on the Crimson Tide offensive line

in his three college seasons and won the Outland Tro-

phy this season as the nation’s top interior lineman.

Humphrey, a third-year sophomore, is bypassing his final two seasons of eligibility. The son of former Alabama star and NFL running back Bobby Humphrey is rated the second-best cornerback and 20th overall prospect by NFLDraftScout.com.

Stewart is viewed as a mid-round pick in this year’s draft. He had a teambest 864 receiving yards as a junior.

“These three players have made significant contributions, not only in how they played but how they

affected their teammates,” coach Nick Saban said at the press conference. “We have a great appreciation for this, and we appreciate them more than you know. They are part of the fabric of this organization.”

Robinson’s stock has remained high despite being charged last May for illegal possession of a stolen firearm and possession of a controlled dangerous substance.

He didn’t face prosecution because the district attorney handling the case dropped the charges, citing Robinson’s football potential.

Chiefs aim to avenge blowout loss to Steelers

By BoB Gretz

KANSAS CITY — The old saying goes that revenge is a dish best served cold. Last Sunday, in the wild-card round of the AFC playoffs, the Pittsburgh Steelers avenged a regular-season loss to the Miami Dolphins, and did it in quite frigid temperatures at Heinz Field, winning by 18 points.

Tonight, the revenge table is turned on the Steelers, as they travel to Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City to play the Chiefs in an AFC divisional round game. The start of the game was pushed back more than seven hours to 8:20 p.m. due to an ice storm expected to move through the area on Saturday night and this morning.

Oddsmakers have listed the home team as a onepoint favorite.

In the first days of October, the Chiefs traveled to Pittsburgh and got hammered by the Steelers, losing 43-14 in a Sunday night game. The 29-point deficit was one of the season’s biggest blowout defeats suffered by a team that eventually made the playoffs. That loss left the Chiefs 2-2 on the season, but afterward it won 10 of the next 12 games and captured an AFC West division title.

But that game was a complete meltdown for the Chiefs and they are

determined to back up their AFC No. 2 seeding by paying back the visiting Steelers.

“There are important matters in front of us now,” K.C. quarterback Alex Smith said. “There are a lot of emotions this time of year. Everybody’s put in a lot of work and sacrifice to have these kinds of opportunities.”

After getting their revenge against the Dolphins, the Steelers know what they will face in Kansas City.

“We have to understand that the same passion and dedication that we put in to beat Miami, that’s how Kansas City is going to

try to beat us,” Pittsburgh running back Le’Veon Bell said. “We have to put that much more time into our detail. We have to do all the little things right because they’re going to try to take the things away that we did well last game and make us beat them a different way.”

Bell ran for 167 yards and two touchdowns last week against Miami. It was a record-setting rushing performance in Pittsburgh postseason history.

Back in October, Bell put up 144 yards on 18 carries against Kansas City.

“He has a unique style about him — that delay to get to the line of scrim-

mage,” Chiefs head coach Andy Reid said of Bell.

“It’s been effective for him. He’s really the only one that does it, so it’s unique. The obvious thing is you have to contain him and take care of your gaps.”

Pittsburgh is riding an eight-game winning streak and an AFC North title with more than just Bell.

Wide receiver Antonio Brown was among the league leaders in catches (106), receiving yards (1,284) and touchdown receptions (12) for the fourth consecutive year.

Brown had the first two touchdowns against Miami, connecting with

Rodgers, though, is more than just hopeful the Packers can turn the tables on Dallas, on its field as a favorite no less.

After all, nobody is playing better than Rodgers has the last half of the season with no interceptions in the last eight-plus games (285 passes). And, compared to his Cowboys counterpart, who will be making his playoff debut at quarterback, Rodgers has this routine well covered.

“There’s a lot of nerves in your first playoff game,” Rodgers said.

“You know there was for me. I threw a pick on my first play,” in the 51-45 wild-card loss in overtime at the Arizona Cardinals in the 2009 season.

“So, yeah, you’ve got to find a way to settle in,” he added. “Once we settled in (that game), we did pretty good. We just got outscored during the end.

It’s just the nerves (as a first-timer). The experience gives you the composure, the confidence, that you’ve been there and done that.

The first half of the third period was a tight checking affair, as neither team could dent the scoreboard. With the minutes ticking down, the Cyclones started to pinch their defenseman in the offensive zone. Atlanta’s Justin Buzzeo was sprung on an outlet pass from Trevor Mingoia and Buzzeo was able to beat Visentin up high on the blocker side to make the score 5-2.

spotlight on

NEW YEAR, NEW YOU

Psychology of keeping a resolution

A New Year’s resolution is a quest for positive change with a built-in start date.

We create goals with the hope of improving our lives. We vow to start, stop, quit, begin, finish, do more, and do less or whatever else we believe will fulfill us. Nowadays, New Year’s resolutions are better known for our lack of follow through rather than success. Why are resolutions so difficult to maintain?

Guest Perhaps, the even Columnist bigger question is: why is it so hard to change?

From a psychological perspective, change is a process that requires a cognitive shift.

Prochaska Cassin defi ned five Cole-Straub stages of change: pre-contemplation, contemplation, preparation, action, and maintenance. In each stage there is a decisional balance that involves weighing the pros and cons of change. In pre-contemplation, we are not actively considering making a change. We may receive feedback about needing to change but are not receptive to it. Your doctor recommends diet and exercise but you have trouble with the idea of tofu and treadmills. In this stage, you likely underestimate the pros and overestimate the cons. You imagine the effort it takes to go to the gym versus the appeal of binge watching your favorite new show.

In contemplation, we become more aware of the pros and begin to anticipate change within six months. You visualize exercise giving you more energy and fitting into your old pair of jeans. In preparation, the pros outweigh the cons and a plan of action is put into place. You purchase a gym membership and start working with a nutritionist. Action is just as it sounds — you are active in making a change. In maintenance, you carry that change out for over six months. Healthy eating and exercise are part of your everyday routine.

In addition, you still believe that the pros outweigh the cons. You reason that turning down chocolate cake is better than 45 extra minutes of cardio.

Many of us who embark upon resolutions have not properly weighed the pros and cons and likely fall into one of the earlier stages of change. Other key factors include motivation and self-efficacy.

When goals feel unattainable it is difficult to stay motivated. Therefore, we are more likely to stay motivated if we make realistic goals (goals we are likely to achieve). For example, setting a goal of walking one mile on the treadmill your first trip to the gym versus five. Achieving goals is intrinsically motivating or simply put, makes us feel good about ourselves. Setting realistic goals can also improve our self-efficacy, our belief in our ability to change. Finding ways to stay motivated and maintaining belief in ourselves are crucial for change.

Change is less likely to occur if someone is asking us to change or we are changing for someone else. It would seem that our decision to change has to come from our own true intention.

In sum, change is a complex and often challenging process. However, many, including myself, still believe that change is in fact possible if you truly want it.

Inner peace, strong heart.

WORKING FROM HOME

How to get in shape this year without the gym

BY CAILIN O’BRIEN

cailin.obrien@gwinnettdailypost.com

The New Year tends to bring out everyone’s inner gym rat — at least temporarily.

“This is the most crowded I’ve ever seen this parking lot,” Yuri MartinezKandler said standing outside the Gold’s Gym he attends in Lawerenceville on Monday. “By February, this will be empty.”

Maybe that’s because the gym isn’t for everybody — and Becky Thompson, a personal trainer and physical therapist at Gwinnett Medical Center, said it doesn’t have to be.

Thompson said consistent and well-constructed home workouts can be as effective as a session at the gym.

“It depends on what motivates you,” she said.

Experts generally agree staying motivated is the key to maintaining any workout routine. Gyms often offer incentives, classes or personal training sessions to help patrons work toward their goals. But a home workout routine may require a bit more self-motivation.

That can get tricky, but Thompson knows one major trick of the trade that can help.

“The most important thing is to set goals,” she said. “Goals are like a road map of where you’re going.”

Thompson said the pros follow two rules for setting weight-loss and workout goals that will keep them motivated — make it achievable and make it clear. A goal to lose some weight is too vague to achieve and a goal to lose 50 pounds in a week just isn’t plausible. Both are good ways to lose motivation, Thompson said.

Instead, she advised setting a clear and obtainable goal such as losing 10 pounds over the course of a few weeks.

“Then, devise action steps on how you’re going to achieve those clear goals,” Thompson said.

Those action steps could vary per person, but she said there’s a general framework she advises home workout pros to stick to. That framework begins with cardio, or exercise that works the lungs and the heart.

“A minimum of three times a week, they need to be walking or biking — anything that keeps your heart rate up for 30 minutes or more,” Thompson said. “Make

If you want peace of mind, take care of your body. Knowing you are doing everything you can to take care of your heart will help you feel healthier and may even extend your life. That will make you breathe a lot easier. If you’re feeling stressed, talk to one of our heart professionals at 404-851-6550.

sure the intensity is high enough to get the results you want.”

Home cardio can be completed on an at-home workout bike or treadmill.

It can also be a run around the block or a bike ride to a nearby park or store. Thompson said it just needs to get the blood pumping.

Lacrosse standout not worried about reaching lofty 2017 resolutions

BY CAILIN O’BRIEN

cailin.obrien@gwinnettdailypost.com

Mill Creek High School lacrosse standout Brooke Beverly never lets a fear of failure dictate her New Year’s resolutions.

“I make reasonable goals and then work really hard to achieve them,” she said. “Everybody fails. You’ve just got to not let it bother you.”

Beverly’s reasonable goals for this year may seem a bit daunting to some.

The high school sophomore qualified for and plans to to compete in the Youth Nationals weightlifting competition in June this year — her first time competing in a national event that hosts about 600 to 700 of the country’s best lifters under 17 years old, according to Caleb Williams, a trainer at CrossFit Gwinnett who coaches Beverly in weightlifting.

“She’s been working out for a while and we’ve been trying to get her into nationals,” Williams said. “She’s finally ready to take the leap.”

Beverly has big plans for nationals.

“I want to (set a personal record) at it,” she said. “I want to get at least a 60 kilogram snatch and then a 70 kilogram clean jerk.”

Beverly weighs less than 150 pounds. She would need to lift 132 pounds from the floor straight overhead in one movement to complete her snatch goal. She’ll have to lift another

159 pounds from the floor onto her shoulders and then overhead in two movements to get the clean jerk she wants.

It’s a lofty goal. During practice Tuesday, Beverly snatched 48 kilograms and clean jerked about 65 kilograms. But she isn’t worried.

She said she understands persistence and a positive mindset have allowed her to keep focused on her weightlifting and lacrosse goals so far.

“I just keep training every day,” Beverly said. “The more you train, the more you can do. You’d be surprised.”

It’s this mindset that’s allowed Beverly to reasonably set such impressive goals for

herself in 2017. When she started lifting two years ago, she said she couldn’t have imagined she’d be aiming for 60 and 70 kilogram weights.

“I lifted maybe the bar and a five (kilo weight),” she said, giggling a bit.

Her light start didn’t deter Beverly, who reached a personal best snatch of 55 kilograms just this past year.

Beverly began lifting to further her high school lacrosse career. It seemed to pay off when she helped lead the United States U17 lacrosse team in a win against Canada at the Brogden Cup International Tournament, a best-of-three games series at the University

of Tampa, two weeks ago.

But there have been setbacks in lacrosse, too. The Mill Creek girls lacrosse team fell just short of the state championship last year.

“We got so close,” Beverly said. “We were in the final four.”

The speed bump didn’t distract Beverly. It only pushed her to work harder. She said winning state became one of this year’s New Year’s resolutions.

“I just don’t let it bother me,” she said. “I just look forward to the next thing and keep training for that.”

This year, the high school sophomore is training toward a

major life decision — and her ultimate New Year’s resolution.

I’m really hoping to be committed by the end of this year,” Beverly said.

She wants to commit to play lacrosse at Jacksonville University, a private liberal arts college in Florida. Beverly smiles determinedly when she talks about JU. It’s clearly her top goal in 2017.

But she said she knows she could handle rejection, too.

She’d just have a pre-made resolution for 2018.

“If I failed this year, I’d make it my goal next year,” she said. “I just wouldn’t let it get in my head.”

Gold’s Gym members discuss biggest New Year challenges

BY CAILIN O’BRIEN

cailin.obrien @gwinnettdailypost.com

It’s no secret — gyms suddenly get a lot more attention after a new year.

Bill Rainaldo works as the general manager at Gold’s Gym in Lawrenceville. He said the gym usually notices an uptick in gym memberships beginning in January each year. He said that surge usually lasts until about March.

“It started right out of the gates really quick this year, for some reason,” Rainaldo said.He said the gym

signed up 90 new members between Jan. 1 and Jan. 10.

But it’s also no secret that new gym patrons who signed up during the New Year’s resolution rush are less likely to stick around through March. It’s estimated that less than half of those

That doesn’t mean there aren’t gym-goers completely aware of the challenges that accompany a resolution toward good health in the new

The Daily Post asked five Gold’s Gym patrons what they expected their biggest health challenges to be in 2017 and how they planned to overcome them. Below are their answers: • “I work a lot so I have

things is the diet part. I love to eat. Just need to change the routine up. And we kind of started in December changing it up a little bit.

Diet is the biggest struggle,” said Yuri Martinez-Kandler.

• “Staying motivated and consistency is key. That’s kind of hard, especially when you have three boys.

So, trying to juggle all that.

I just need to stay motivated and stay consistent,” said Elisha Martinez-Kandler.

• “My basic challenge is just staying fit. I need to try to get to the gym every day — just going consistently,” said Queteitris Millender.

any workout routine.

“Those kind of things are great,” she said.

She harbors a special love for planks, an exercise that involves holding the body flat and parallel to the ground using only the forearms and toes.

“If I was limited to one exercise, it would be planks all day long,” Thompson said. “It works the whole body and especially the core.”

For those generally comfortable planking, squatting and running alone, skipping the gym or personal trainer can save a good chunk of cash.

Joining a big gym such as Gold’s Gym could cost anywhere between $200 and $500 annually. A group workout program such as CrossFit may cost upward of $800 for twenty half-hour sessions.

Those may seem pricey, but some patrons pay to ensure they’re working out correctly. Thompson acknowledged that even those who want to work out on their own may not be able to start out that way.

“Some people just have no clue where to start,” she said. “A lot of clients are afraid of hurting themselves or doing something to injure themselves.”

She recommended workout novices seek out a few sessions with a personal trainer to get themselves started.

“Tell the trainer what equipment they have to work with at home and a trainer can give them a workout plan that works for them,” Thompson said. “A personal trainer could (also) teach them the proper way to do the exercises to minimize the risk of injury.”

It’s not for everybody, but Thompson said getting a home workout routine going could be a good way to set up a New Year’s resolution that lasts well past February.

“Some people just like to stop by the gym on the way home from work before sitting down for dinner,” she said. “Others like the affordability of doing exercises at home. It just depends on what works for you.”

All council meetings are opened to the public.

They’re held at 8 p.m. the third Thursday of every month in the city hall auditorium. A work session preceeds the each council meeting and is held at 7 p.m. in the city hall conference room.

City hall is located at 4040 S. Berkeley Lake Road.

BRASELTON Braselton preps for third annual Chocolate Walk It’s the sweetest time of the year in Braselton.

The city is getting ready for its third annual Chocolate Walk on Feb. 4.

Recalling more memories of Grant Tinker There is an old Chinese proverb that says “When an old man dies, a library burns down.” With no man was this truer than it was with Grant Tinker, my father-in-law who died recently.

Not only was he a history book, he was a history maker who had been a key player in many of television’s most iconic shows of the 1970s and 1980s. I had barely dipped into the deep well of knowledge and stories he had before his time on this earth ended.

He knew the two men who were the main innovators for radio/television: General Sarnoff of RCA (which bought NBC) and William Paley of CBS. Bob Hope and Johnny Carson worked for him (and were friends) and Mary Tyler Moore was once married to him.

“Of all the shows you did, which were you proudest of?” I asked

Grant and Mary could have taken an easy, lucrative pay-off and walked away but the president of MTM Productions said, “No. We have a deal.

grew up with but calling him Mr. Grant sounded odd since one of television’s iconic characters, Lou Grant, aka Mr. Grant, had been named after him.

“No, he wasn’t,” Grant Tinker protested one day when I bought it up.

“Yes, he was,” I replied firmly.

He pulled his head back a bit, eyeing me warily. “And you know this how?”

“Because I figured it out. Tink asked Allan Burns (the show’s co-creator) and he said it was.”

“Really?” He was genuinely surprised. “That never occurred to me.”

“Seriously?” I asked, laughing.

“No, not at all. My first name is Grant and his

last name was Grant so, no. I never considered it.”

Which demonstrates his humility and modesty.

The MTM show was full of inside jokes, many of which he enjoyed — such as the Tinker Trophy — but he never thought to question that one of the key characters had the same name as he.

There are lots of stories I could share such as the time that Lew Wasserman, Hollywood’s most powerful man, made MTM cry or the dinner party where Grant Tinker was seated next to Ted Turner, meeting the television tycoon for the first time.

But this is the one I must share because it’s the only time I ever heard Grant Tinker take any credit.

“Now, I changed the NBC peacock,” he said firmly. I’m not sure how this subject came up during lunch one day.

“I thought it was too busy.” It went from 11 tail feathers to six. This is the simplicity you would expect from a man whose dessert was usually one scoop of vanilla ice cream and chocolate syrup.

It hurts my heart to lose him. I’ll grant you that. But it hurts my mind just as much to know how many stories have died, untold.

Our library is gone.

Local school bus driver wins Local author pens book on world track and field event reaching your full potential

BY KEITH FARNER

FROM STAFF REPORTS

keith.farner @gwinnettdailypost.com

Emma McGowan not only won her second gold medal in a track event, she made up for a silver medal finish the year before.

McGowan, 48, a Gwinnett County Public Schools bus driver, won two gold medals at the World Masters Track and Field Championship in Perth, Australia, which was held over the last week of October and the first week of November.

McGowan, who drives a bus that carries special education students and is the mother of twins, won gold in the 100 meters and 200 meters.

She schedules training around her hours driving the bus.

McGowan said she trains for several hours between morning and afternoon routes — three times a week outdoors and once or twice in a gym — but that schedule flexibility is not the best part of her job.

“The best part of my job is that I get to take my daughter to school,” McGowan said. “My daughter is autistic and I love being able to take her to school and pick her up. That way I know she and the other students are in great hands.”

McGowan is now a two-time gold medal winner in the 100 meters. In 2015 she won gold in the World Masters Athletics Championship in her native France while also taking home

A Buford speaker and coaching expert expects everyone to live nothing less than the “Big Life,” according to her new book.

Betsey Pake wrote “Start Small Live Big: Thrive Through Change to Live the Life of Your Dreams,” released in December to offer practical advice on moving forward in life, one step at a time.

The book will determine what Betsy Pake changes need to be made in one’s life for the biggest impact, according to Pake. She shares her life’s stories throughout the book in order to help the reader determine what daily actions to take to “Live Big.” “My goal is to help you feel more amazing about your life than you ever thought possible by showing you how to achieve all those things you want by starting small. Really small,” Pake posts on her

window.

She touches on everything from her mom dying while Pake was in high school to her weight journey and her pivotal decision

to change her life.

Now, she lives with her husband, Craig, and daughter, Olive.

silver in the 200 meters and 400 meters.

The World Masters Track and Field Championships are the biennial championships for masters athletics events held under the auspices of World Masters Athletics.

Athletes who compete in the World Masters Athletic events must be at least 35 years old.

“It is awesome,” McGowan said. “It takes a lot of hard work, especially for me. It is not easy, but I love it.”

bestbets SUNDAY

MONDAY

9 p.m. on FOX Son of Zorn Craig (Tim Meadows) seeks Zorn’s (voice of Jason Sudeikis) advice on becoming the best man he can be for Edie (Cheryl Hines) in the new episode “The Battle of Self-Acceptance.” Zorn seems the most likely source for Craig, since the latter wants to tap into his inner warrior. Alan (Johnny Pemberton) tries to overcome his deepest insecurity. Nick Offerman (“Parks and Recreation”) supplies a guest voice.

Artemis Pebdani also stars.

10 p.m. on NBC Timeless Lucy’s (Abigail Spencer) destination is quite targeted when Flynn (Goran Visnjic) abducts her in the new episode “The World’s Columbian Exposition.” That is another name for the 1893 World’s Fair in Chicago, where the only person who may be able to help Lucy is someone by the name of Harry Houdini. (Yes, that Houdini.) Wyatt (Matt Lanter) and Rufus (Malcolm Barrett) make their own rescue attempt across time anyway. Sakina Jaffrey and Paterson Joseph also star.

TUESDAY Name

10 p.m. on ABC Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. It’s a bad time for Coulson and Mack (Clark Gregg, Henry Simmons) to be away from the rest of the team in the new episode “The Patriot.” They learn something about Director Mace (guest star Jason O’Mara) that poses a threat to all of the agents unless a warning can be delivered in time. Adrian Pasdar (“Heroes”) also guest stars. Ming-Na Wen,

Goran Visnjic Chloe Bennet, Iain De Caestecker and Elizabeth Henstridge also star.

WEDNESDAY 9 p.m. on CBS People’s Choice Awards 2017 The annual event — in which the public votes for favorites in movies, television, music and digital media from the past year — is broadcast from the Microsoft Theater L.A. Live, with Joel McHale (“The Great Indoors”) serving as host. Topping the motion-picture nominees is “Captain America: Civil War” with seven bids, while “Grey’s Anatomy” leads TV contenders with five

nominations. Up for three awards here, Ellen DeGeneres would set a record with one win.

9 p.m. on HIST Vikings During the course of this series, iconoclastic Viking leader Ragnar Lothbrok (Travis Fimmel) repeatedly proved himself to be master of the long game when it came to taking down his enemies. That’s never been more true than in tonight’s new episode “Revenge,” in which Ragnar’s ultimate act of vengeance — which required him to make the supreme sacrifice — achieves fruition as the Viking army lands on the coast of Northumbria, determined to punish the treacherous King Ecbert (Linus Roache) and his people.

THURSDAY 8 p.m. on ABC Grey’s Anatomy Lest there be any question of this medical drama’s continuing popularity, it’s the most-nominated television program in this year’s fan-chosen People’s Choice Awards. It resumes its 13th season with the new episode “You Can Look (But You d Better Not Touch),” taking Bailey, Arizona and Jo (Chandra Wilson, Jessica

Capshaw, Camilla Luddington) to a maximum-security prison for women to treat a pregnant, violence-prone teen. Caterina Scorsone also stars.

10 p.m. on USA Colony A wary Will (Josh Holloway) decides to put his trust in an old friend in the Santa Monica bloc in a new episode called “Somewhere Out There.” Meanwhile, Jennifer (Kathleen Rose Perkins) pays a visit to Katie (Sarah Wayne Callies), and Bram (Alex Neustaedter) meets the camp commandant.

FRIDAY 9 p.m. on CW Crazy Ex-Girlfriend The famous Santa Ana winds allegedly make people act a little crazy, and that phenomenon strikes those in West Covina in the new episode “Josh Is the Man of My Dreams, Right?”

Rebecca (Rachel Bloom) gets better-acquainted with Nathaniel (Scott Michael Foster), and Paula and Darryl (Donna Lynne Champlin, Pete Gardner) reach a tipping point with each other.

Vincent Rodriguez III, Gabrielle Ruiz and Vella Lovell also star.

SATURDAY 8 p.m. on LIFE Movie: Beaches The original 1988 big-screen dramedy from Garry Marshall — which starred Bette Midler and Barbara Hershey as two gal pals whose friendship since childhood sustains them — helped define the “chick-lit tearjerker” movie genre and became an instant classic among fans. That means Idina Menzel and Nia Long have their work cut out for them as they take over the Midler and Hershey roles, respectively, in this new and updated TV movie remake. Gabriella Pizzolo, Sanai Victoria and Antonio Cupo also star.

Berkmar High hosts food drive for CARE closet During the recent Clody Memorial Invitational, Berkmar High’s swim and dive team hosted a food drive for the school’s Community Assistance and Resource Effort, or CARE, closet.

CARE closets have grown in popularity in recent months across Gwinnett, and are in several schools.

A CARE Closet is a confidential school-based food pantry available to students who don’t have access to enough food. Berkmar High is one of four known Gwinnett schools that have CARE Closets.

Keith Farner writes about education. Good News from Schools appears in the Sunday edition of the Daily Post.

Setting goals can undermine success and erode happiness What are you going to accomplish this year? Or perhaps at this point, a better question might be, what were you going to accomplish?

Have you already given up that plan to lose 10 pounds? Is making a million still on the table? If you’re like most people, you set your sights high. Living up to those aspirations is more challenging, though.

One reason so many of us fail to achieve our goals is because of the way we frame our objectives. It’s a human habit to frame goals in terms of what you want to accomplish. We have a tendency to talk about goals in reference to their outcome. In other

Forget Perfect

Lisa McLeod words, it’s a “do” goal: it’s an end game with little or no reference to the behaviors involved in achieving a goal.

You’re more effective framing goals in terms of what you want to be. It’s a nuanced difference with game-changing implications, for organizations and

individuals.

Let’s look at a simple example, the age-old resolution to lose 10 pounds often abandoned by January, after little to no progress.

Instead of a “do goal,” (lose 10 pounds), framing it as a “be goal” of wanting to be healthier provides more daily motivation. You can be healthier right away. You can also stay (mostly) healthy with lots of small choices.

Losing weight shifts from being the goal, to becoming an indicator of how well you are being the person you want to be.

This is an important difference. The way we establish and talk about our goals is a determinate in how

we act upon them. The same thing applies to organizations. Organizations will say, we want to get our productivity to X level, or we want to achieve a certain dollar figure.

Those are worthy goals, but they’re a fixed point in time. If you want to be a market leader, you can start acting like that now. It gives your people a template to modify their behavior. So, instead of saying “We want to get our revenue to X by this date” try, “We want to be a better resource to our customers.” When your goal is to be a better resource for customers, you’re more likely to send helpful articles, ask better ques-

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

FOR YOUR

CHANCE

Archie was left at the Georgia SPCA in November, emaciated and lethargic. He would not eat or drink. He was checked for parasites and dewormed. After no improvement, he was sent to the vet for further testing.

TO WIN!

After a round of antibiotics and no results, X-rays were performed. A small foreign object was seen in his stomach.

The object was too small to know for sure what is was. The vets performed exploratory surgery and found a string reaching from his stomach to nearly the end of his small intestines. It appeared to have been in there for a while because it caused damage to the intestines so they had to remove bits of the damaged intestines.

Framing a goal in terms of behavior, instead of outcome, also saves you from the fear of not hitting a specific target. I’m all about the numbers, be they on a scale or a spreadsheet, but they are derivatives of your behavioral patterns.

Dr. King and the power of humility

Rob Jenkins

(The following is an excerpt from “The 9 Virtues of Exceptional Leaders,” reprinted here in honor of Dr. King’s birthday.)

In the spring of 1963,

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. traveled to Birmingham, Ala., to help organize the marches and sit-ins that eventually brought an end to that city’s Jim Crow laws.

PRESENTED BY

FRIDAY, the THIRD of FEBRUARY TWO THOUSAND SEVENTEEN

INFINITE ENERGY FORUM GRAND BALLROOM

He was arrested almost immediately, accused of being an “outside agitator.”

While imprisoned, King penned the nowfamous “Letter from a

Birmingham Jail,” calling upon white Christian ministers to acknowledge the justice of his cause.

That letter has since come to be regarded as one of the seminal documents of the civil rights movement. Many of the societal changes King championed came to pass in relatively short order, and the moral impact of his rhetoric continues to be felt to this day.

But what was it that made his argument so powerful?

For one thing, he immediately identified a persuadable audience, comprised of people who may have been inclined to listen. But even more important, he approached those people with humility — not from a position of servitude or weakness, nor with condescension, looking down as from the moral high ground, but as an equal, one person of good will speaking confidently to other people of good will.

Look at how King closed his famous missive: “If I have said anything in this letter that overstates the truth and indicates an unreasonable impatience, I beg you to forgive me. If I have said anything that understates the truth and indicates my having a patience that allows me to settle for anything less than brotherhood, I beg God to forgive me. … I … hope that circumstances will soon make it possible for me to meet each of you, not as an integrationist or a civil-rights leader but as … a Christian brother.”

Indeed, “Letter from a Birmingham Jail” is

striking in the way that it maintains such a delicate balance between meekness and forcefulness.

Although King is in fact instructing those white clergy on their moral responsibilities, he never sounds as if he is lecturing them — and more important, he never sounds as if he thinks he is better than they are.

That is a remarkable accomplishment, given the times and what he himself was going through at the moment, locked away in a Birmingham jail cell.

King’s example teaches us something vitally important about humility: Far from the popular conception of “meekness” as a synonym for “weakness,” it actually is a form of strength. Or perhaps we should say, rather, that humility is a source of strength, a reservoir of great power.

Leaders who embrace and seek to internalize the virtue of humility do not simply fade into the background, as some might imagine. They do not become weak and thus prey for the strong in some Darwinian struggle for survival. Ultimately, they are the fittest, the strongest, and the most capable of leading.

Rob Jenkins is a local freelance writer and the author of four books, including “Family Man: The Art of Surviving Domestic Tranquility” and “The 9 Virtues of Exceptional Leaders: Unlocking Your Leadership Potential” (with Karl Haden), both available at Books for Less in Buford and on Amazon.
