Thousands of trees get the chop at chipper event

BY TREVOR MCNABOE trevor.mcnaboe@gwinnettdailypost.com

Local companies, students from high schools and volunteers got up bright and early Saturday morning to help organize, sort and chip away Christmas trees for the 34th annual Bring One for the Chipper event.

The joint effort between Gwinnett Clean and Beautiful, MORE ONLINE Jackson Visit gwinnettdailypost.com EMC, for more event photos.

Georgia Power and Walton EMC drew nearly 100 volunteers.

The Christmas trees were collected by stations of the Gwinnett County Fire Department, and according to Gwinnett Clean and Beautiful Executive Director Schelly Marlatt, the ground-up trees will be turned into mulch for parks across the county.

“It’s a real benefit for everyone because it saves the county taxpayer dollars,” Marlatt said. “Instead of spending money on mulch, we’re getting it from these trees.”

Marlatt has worked this event for the past few years and has noticed growth in both the volume of trees and the event’s popularity, with more volunteers coming.

“The volume of trees has definitely increased since last year,” Marlatt said.

“We had roughly 7,000 trees that were collected and delivered to be chipped.”

The event brought a variety of volunteers to help, such as Brookwood High School junior Jasmyn Smith and senior See CHIPPER, Page 6A

Abhiram Kapaganty wins third straight county spelling bee

BY TREVOR MCNABOE trevor.mcnaboe @gwinnettdailypost.com

Sixth grade Hull Middle School student Abhiram Kapaganty stood atop the stage at Central Gwinnett High School and was crowned Gwinnett County Spelling Bee champion for a third straight year.

Kapaganty breezed through the early portion of the competition, scoring a perfect 30 during the written portion of the bee that narrowed the field of 93 students from across Gwinnett to just 14 finalists.

Throughout the 14-round competition, Kapaganty remained poised, reserved and precise as the field narrowed each round.

It’s fitting that in the championship round against seventh grade Bay Creek Middle School student Chikaima Anigbogu that he received the word “illustrious,” because there might be no better way to describe his career as a speller that is far from over.

To cement this third straight title, the sixth grade student calmly dissected and perfectly spelled “petroglyphs.” Not only did he walk away with a first-place trophy, but he also was awarded $200 from the Gwinnett

Daily Post.

“I was excited when I got that word because I had seen it on one of my lists,” Kapaganty said. “With the roots and all the questions I asked,

it really helped me.”

In the three years since his mother, Satyavani, encouraged her son to participate in the spelling bee, he has emerged not only as a winner at the local level, but also at the state level.

“On weekdays I normally study about two hours a day going through lists, and on

the weekends I typically spend about three hours reviewing,” Kapaganty said.

On any given day, Kapaganty and his mother will go through at least 200 words a day depending on homework and other academic obligations.

the driveway of 2578 Worrall Hill Way in Duluth.

There they rang the doorbell and Sun Hee Choi answered, then one of the men — later determined to be Kim — producing a box of apples.

Several minutes after being asked inside, the neighbor reported she heard a scream that sounded “like a sick dog” and called Choi’s brother-in-law. By the time he arrived, the white vehicle was gone from the driveway.

Inside the home, however, was a bloody scene, the District Attorney’s office said in a news release Friday.

Young Chan Choi was discovered in the foyer, stabbed multiple times in

the chest with a 4- or 5-inch knife, and had lacerations on his head and bruising on his back, believed to be from some type of baton or other blunt object.

Sun Hee Choi was found in the kitchen with her throat cut “ear to ear,” her voice box and a major artery severed and similar stab wounds to her chest.

Upstairs, dresser drawers were pulled out and overturned and the lock on a chest was broken, though it was not known if anything was stolen.

Bloody footprints led from the front door out into the driveway.

Less than 24 hours later, investigators tied Kim to the

scene.

The apples, which had been left on a coffee table, were bought from a local retailer, where surveillance footage showed Kim had purchased them earlier that day, the release said.

The next day, Kim was treated at a local hospital for knife wounds to his right hand, which he told police he had cut when he was robbed by a Hispanic man in a parking lot.

As police continued to question him, however, Kim changed his story — first claiming to have delivered the apples to the Chois’ business, but not their home.

Then he admitted he was present during the homi-

cides, but said that the other man was responsible and that he was injured trying to protect the victims before he fled the home.

Finally, after crime scene investigators located a fingerprint on the blinds in the Chois’ home that belonged to Kim and contained Mr. Choi’s blood, Kim agreed to stipulate to most of the evidence against him and requested a bench trial, the release said.

In return, the state agreed to withdraw its intention to seek the death penalty, and on Friday, the 50-yearold was sentenced to two consecutive sentences of life without parole followed by 90 years in prison.

Police ask for help looking for ATM skimmer suspects

By IsaBel HugHes isabel.hughes @gwinnettdailypost.com

At least two men and one woman have netted more than $85,000 from people across metro Atlanta after placing credit card skimming devices on ATM machines throughout the county.

On Friday, Lawrenceville police asked for the public’s help in identifying the suspects, who were caught on

surveillance video installing the skimmers.

“Surveillance footage indicates that it is the same group of subjects driving the same vehicle and that they have installed these devices during day and nighttime hours,” said Lawrenceville Police Detective Kevin Dyals. “Citizens should be reminded about the potential for skimming devices on all point of sale purchase locations and ATM locations.”

Dyals added that police

have been working with the banks of those affected.

“Regarding this case, the affected cardholder accounts have been identified and we, in conjunction with the bank, are in the process of gathering information in order to further the investigation once identification is made,” he said.

She was released to the hospital for further treatment.

so I think we’ve done what we can.”

Still, Cox said there are some concerns that when water released from Buford Dam reaches the bridge, the water level will rise to the point that a portion that sticks up out of the middle of the river won’t be as easy to see and avoid.

“I’m glad it happened in the winter when we don’t have as much (traffic) on the river,” Cox said.

“That side of the river — the Johns Creek, Fulton County side is shallow.

Most people paddle on the other side because it’s deeper, so thankfully it’s not in the path of most paddlers, but we’ve got to get it out of there before the summer busy season starts.”

Although Gwinnett County operates a park named for the bridge across the river from where it collapsed, the portion of Jones Bridge that spanned the Gwinnett County side of the river is long gone.

No one is quite sure officially why that side of the bridge was dismantled, but there are local stories that speculate on it.

Cox said the general story among locals is that it was pulled down by some area residents for scrap metal. The bridge ceased to be used for travel across the river in 1922 and was falling into disrepair by the 1930s.

Cox wasn’t sure when the Gwinnett side was pulled down.

Above, what is left of the old Jones Bridge sticks out of the Chattahoochee River on its Fulton County side Friday. The bridge, which is part of the Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area, collapsed after two of its support piers gave way Thursday. Inset, a National Park Service sign advising visitors to stay away from the collapsed remains of the old Jones Bridge hangs from one of the bridge’s beams Friday. The more than 100year old bridge collapsed into the Chattahoochee River Thursday.

Johns Creek resident Keith Morris, who lives near the park and hikes the loop past the bridge daily, said he heard it happened during World War II. As a retiree, Morris volunteers to help pick trash in the park during his walks.

“Some outfit came and dismantled the span that goes out from Gwinnett and then they were stopped with a cease and desist order, and so what’s left has been there ever since,” he said.

Morris said he’d noticed on his daily walks that the support piers that stood in the river had begun to tilt. He did not see the collapse happen, but he walked by not long after-

ward Thursday.

“To me, it looked like it was more and more tilted, but I thought it was just my mind playing games with me and that nothing had really changed,” Morris said. “It had to be (tilting) because then it just fell into the water. When it collapsed, the structure just went down into the water.”

There is a sense of historical significance attached to the bridge that Cox said has to be taken into consideration.

“Only part of the bridge existed and now that part has fallen into the river,” he said.

It isn’t clear how much of the bridge will remain, if any of it will, now that

the collapse has happened.

The truss is not expected to go back up, so the only piece of the bridge that could remain are the support piers on the shore.

Cox said he has already reached out to the state historic preservation officer to determine what can or should be done.

“It’s really, at this point, a matter of pulling it out of the river,” Cox said.

“I’ll talk to the state about (leaving the support piers that are on the shore). You know, they may want a plaque out there, or some pictures. That’s kind of what I want to ask them.

Do they want something to document that there was a bridge there at one time?”

MS and vaccines must have balanced relationship Dear Dr. roacH: I have multiple sclerosis. I have been told NOT to get the shingles vaccine by one doctor, and I have been told TO get the shot by another. I had the shingles twice a long time ago. Does the fact that it is a live culture have an effect on the recommendation?

— D.M. ansWer: Multiple sclerosis is an autoimmune disease that may be triggered by the increase in the immune system response following some vaccinations. That has to be balanced against the benefits of not getting the disease.

There remains controversy about this, and you must, of course, discuss it with your neurologist.

However, the National Multiple Sclerosis Society has made some recommendations, with which I agree.

It concluded that influenza, hepatitis B, varicella and tetanus vaccines are safe for people with MS. Most live, attenuated vaccines are not recommended. These include the live flu vaccine (given by nasal spray; flu shots are not live vaccines, and flu shots are generally considered safe) and yellow fever vaccine, which is controversial. The current shingles vaccine Zostrix, even though it is a live, attenuated vaccine, is considered safe, because almost everybody in the age group of MS has had chickenpox and thus has the virus already in the body.

There is a new shingles vaccine called Shingrix, hopefully available soon. It is a subunit vaccine, made without any infectious virus.

The MS society has not written about the new vaccine, but based on the biology of MS and shingles, I think that the benefit of the new vaccine greatly outweighs any small risk of an exacerbation. Again, this needs to be individualized with your doctor.

You can read the MS society’s recommendations here: http://bit.ly/2AIa7DK. Dr. roacH WriTes: A recent column on oral herpes generated numerous letters. Most of these asked about using valacyclovir (Valtrex) or another oral antiviral. These drugs can be given at earliest onset of symptoms (usually 2 grams given twice, 12 hours apart) or taken all the time to prevent outbreaks (usually 500 mg once a day).

When used at the onset of an attack (it should be started at the first appearance of reliable symptoms, which for some people is noticeable tingling, burning or itching), it can shorten the duration of the blisters by about a day. People who do not have any early symptoms are less likely to benefit, and can consider taking medications all the time.

This would be reasonable for people with pain or disfiguring lesions (I had a patient, a professional actor, for whom I prescribed valacyclovir).

Valacyclovir is expensive (average wholesale price is about $10 a pill, but I found it much cheaper through the drug discount site Goodrx. com) and has the potential for serious side effects, so it is not a medication that I prescribe frequently.

Musician urged to abandon ‘childish fantasy’ Dear amy: I have been with my boyfriend for more than six months now. He is the sweetest and greatest man I have ever dated, and I want to spend my life with him.

I make more money, have a great home and I’m an extremely independent person. Because I followed this path and am a few years older (29 vs. 26), I am concerned that he won’t ever “grow up.” I feel like he is still chasing this wild, childlike fantasy of being in a band and going on short tours.

He has never asked for money and does odd jobs, so I am never paying for all of our expenses. I do probably spend more on us, but I make more, so I’m totally OK with that. However, once upon a time, I would not have tolerated dating someone with ambitions that didn’t follow a “normal” path.

We’ve talked about taking the next steps for our future, including marriage, but I’m not sure how he can expect those things to happen without getting a fulltime job and letting go of the music fantasy life.

While I’ve seen a little progress, things aren’t necessarily going quickly in the direction I want.

world&nation World Gunmen kill at least 14 people at party in Brazil

Republicans urged to return donations

Fleetwood Mac’s Nicks reveals refreshing fair-pay policy

By Eric Bradner CNN

When Harvey Weinstein was accused of sexually assaulting women nearly four months ago, Republicans called on Democratic lawmakers and committees to return contributions from the Hollywood mogul and major donor.

Now the GOP is being forced to answer for its own scandal-engulfed donor and fundraiser: Steve Wynn, the Las Vegas casino giant.

Immediately after The Wall Street Journal detailed decades worth of sexual misconduct allegations from women who worked at Wynn’s casinos, Democrats began insisting that Republicans — and the Republican National Committee, where Wynn is finance chairman — return Taliban attacker Wynn’s cash. Wynn has denied the allegations. kills 95 in Kabul The Wynn Resorts An attacker driving an board of directors said ambulance packed with Friday it has formed a explosives detonated them special committee made Saturday in the Afghan up of independent direccapital of Kabul, leaving tors to investigate the 95 people dead and 158 allegations. others injured, Afghan of“Since he is finance ficials said. chairman, shouldn’t Taliban spokesman they have to give *all* Zabiullah Mojahid claimed the money back they’ve responsibility for the atraised since he has been tack, which comes a week there?” Alixandra Lapp, after militants stormed a the president of a super Kabul hotel.

— From wire reports his first State of the Union Gunmen opened fire early Saturday at a party in the northeastern Brazilian city of Fortaleza, killing at least 14 people, including eight women, public security officials said.

Armed men stepped out of a vehicle and sprayed the partygoers with bullets, according to the Ceara state Public Security Secretariat.

Police arrived at the scene on the outskirts of Fortaleza, a popular tourist city, shortly after midnight Saturday, the public security agency said.

One suspect was in custody, said Andre Costa, the state secretary for public security. He said the slayings appeared to be planned.

Democrats, tweeted.

The episode could lead Republicans to regret weaponizing Weinstein’s political contributions against Democrats.

Just this election cycle, Wynn has given $100,000 to the National Republican Senatorial Committee. He has also contributed thousands of dollars to the campaigns of Sen. Dean Heller of Nevada, retiring Sen. Jeff Flake of Arizona (who was running for re-election at the time of Wynn’s donations) and special election victors Reps. Greg Gianforte of Montana and Karen Handel of Georgia.

The Wynn controversy

comes after President Donald Trump and the RNC backed Roy Moore in Alabama’s U.S. Senate special election in December, despite allegations of child molestation and sexual assault against Moore. Moore subsequently lost to Democrat Doug Jones.

“The RNC and Ronna McDaniel have helped fund the campaign of an alleged child molester, blindly supported the GOP’s attacks on women’s health, supported a president who has been accused of sexual misconduct by over a dozen women — and now they remain silent amid sexual

assault allegations involving Steve Wynn, one of their party’s most senior officials,” said Sabrina Singh, the Democratic National Committee deputy communications director.

“This is the Republican Party. This is the party of Donald Trump, Roy Moore, Joe Arpaio and Trent Franks. Democrats will refuse to stand by while the Republican Party denigrates women. We will continue to march side by side with women all across this country because we believe that women must be empowered and respected,” she said.

Rock icon Stevie Nicks believes the fight against sexual misconduct and gender inequality in the entertainment industry is going to require persistence.

“Everybody needs to not let this be a kind of big wave and just go away and say, ‘Oh well, you know, it’s over and nobody cares anymore,’” Nicks told CNN at the Recording Academy’s MusiCares event on Friday. “Everybody has to keep really fighting because otherwise women, we will be swept under the carpet yet again and it will just start over.”

Nicks and the other members of Fleetwood Mac were honored at the annual pre-Grammy Awards charity event.

The singer, who joined Fleetwood Mac in 1975, said she and fellow bandmate Christine McVie did not experience much sexual harassment over the course of their meteoric careers.

“I think I’ve been very lucky,” she said. “And maybe it’s because when I joined Fleetwood Mac, Christine and I made a pact. We said we will never ever be treated like a second class citizen amongst our peers as we get more famous and more famous — and if we’re in a room with famous rock ’n’ roll stars that are men and they treat us that way, we will scream at them and then we’ll walk out.”

Underwater robots to measure threat to climate in Antarctica

By Lynda Kinkade and Shelby Rose CNN

It’s a $2 million gamble.

Scientists with the University of Washington, in conjunction with Paul G. Allen Philanthropies, are sending robots to Antarctica for as long as a year in what will be the longest mission ever undertaken in the region.

The aim: to gain more extensive data about the rate of ice loss and

Must read thus more accurately predict future sea-level rise.

Navigation algorithms enable the Seaglider robots to maneuver autonomously.

The autonomous underwater gliders move by changing their buoyancy, rising to the surface to transmit data, and that comes with a risk — some may sink and be lost for good as they move under

the Antarctic ice sheets.

It’s a small price to pay when talking about the fate of the world, according to a spokesman for Microsoft co-founder and investor Paul Allen, who has funded the mission.

“We think the risk-reward ratio, the value of the data we collect, far exceeds the risk,” said Spencer Reeder, a spokesman and director of climate and energy at Paul G. Allen Philanthropies.

“This is really a pathbreaking

scientific endeavor.”

An icebreaker just arrived this month in Antarctica via New Zealand carrying the robots to be deployed.

The gliders’ batteries should last at least a year, and it’s hoped they won’t go missing in ice caves as they venture into the unknown.

“It’s really an important data gap for the scientific community,” Reeder said. “We’re taking a big risk by going into a complex terrain.”

Pierre Dutrieux and Jason Gobat are scientists on board the icebreaker pioneering data collection.

A robot is “periodically taking samples of salinity and temperature, oxygen and some optical properties of the water,” Gobat said.

The University of Washington team plans to focus on Pine Island Glacier in West Antarctica, the continent’s fastest-melting ice sheet, where a huge iceberg broke off last year.

Police seeking man in church van theft

By IsaBel HugHes

isabel.hughes @gwinnettdailypost.com

Gwinnett police are asking for help identifying a man who they say took advantage of a local church’s outdoor heating unit and then stole its van.

According to Cpl. Michele Pihera, spokeswoman for the Gwinnett County Police Department, the suspect was first seen on surveillance video outside Buford’s Salt and Light Church on Jan. 16, where he stayed for about 10 hours.

“Initially, he slept on the outdoor heating unit that was emitting steam to keep warm,” Pihera said. “The next morning, he used a sledgehammer

to break into the church.

Prior to fleeing the location, he stole clothing, red headphones and a 15-passenger van.”

The van, a 2008 Chevrolet Express with “Salt

and Light Presbyterian Church” decals on both sides, is still listed as stolen more than a week after the crime, and police are now enlisting the public’s help in identifying the suspect.

He is described as a white man wearing shorts and a T-shirt with tattoos on his right arm.

Anyone with information related to the case is asked to contact Gwinnett detectives at 770-5135300. To remain anonymous, tipsters can contact Crime Stoppers at 404577-TIPS (8477) or visit crimestoppersatlanta.org.

Tipsters can receive up to $2,000 for information leading to an arrest and indictment in this case by referencing case number 18-005731.

New island created in wake of Irma Koch network gears lee sHearer

In the aftermath of Hurrican Irma, a new island formed on Georga’s coast. The island was created when the storm shifted the channel of Blackbeard Creek and blew out part of a narrow finger of land that extended from Blackbeard Island south toward Sapelo Island. (Special Photo)

GPA News Network

When Hurricane Irma raked Georgia’s coast Sept.

12, the powerful storm inflicted heavy damage, but it also created.

Georgia now has a new coastal island, thanks to the powerful storm.

The new island formed when the storm shifted the channel of Blackbeard Creek and blew out part of a narrow finger of land that extended from Blackbeard Island south toward Sapelo Island, explained Marguerite Madden, head of the University of Georgia’s Center for Geospatial Studies.

The new island is small — about 100 acres, estimated Fred Hay, Sapelo Island manager for the state Department of Natural Resources’ Wildlife Resources Division.

They’re calling the little island Little Blackbeard, since it was formed from federally owned and protected Blackbeard Island.

Blackbeard Island is about 5,600 acres, and Sapelo is nearly 16,500 acres.

Aerial photographs show the gradual growth of the narrow spit of land that became the island since the 1940s, Hays said.

Because of the direction of currents off the Georgia coast, its coastal islands change continually, eroding on their north ends, building up on the southern ends.

But a big force such as a

•From Page 1A

hurricane can dramatically speed up that natural process, Hay said.

Hay, among others, is curious to see what will become of the little island in the future.

As the process of erosion and accretion continues on the barrier islands, the little island might eventually attach to Sapelo, Madden told scientists at the recent Southern Forestry and Natural Resource Management GIS Conference in Athens.

Little Blackbeard also might just disappear, Hay said.

“It’s really changing the currents coming in there,” said Madden, who’s using satellite imagery to help gauge the damage to the island. In another project, she’s using imagery to map and gauge tornado damage and recovery in the Smoky Mountains.

Irma inflicted millions of dollars in damage as it swept northward in September, and Sapelo took its share.

Hay is seeing “considerable” tree mortality caused by the spray of salt water on the ocean side of the island.

Sand dunes were also blown away, but the dunes will replenish themselves, Hay said.

Surging storm waters brought salt water up onto much of Sapelo, flooding the St. Luke Baptist Church and about a dozen homes, some owned by the University of Georgia, others privately owned in Hog Hammock, a small AfricanAmerican community founded by former slaves on Sapelo.

Most of the buildings of UGA’s Marine Institute on Sapelo sustained some storm surge flooding, including a dormitory, ad-

ministrative offices, storage buildings and a recently renovated research and teaching laboratory, where storm surge flood waters brought a foot and a half of water inside. Repairs to the UGA property began almost immediately, and a new floor is being installed at the church, but some of the Irma-inflicted injuries will take much longer to fix.

Irma also damaged several bridges, including one leading to a popular campground on Cabretta Island, a small island separated from the main body of Sapelo by a small creek.

The campground is closed for the foreseeable future, but as funds become available, the bridges will be repaired, and the campground will reopen at some point.

“We are functional, but at a somewhat diminished capacity,” Hay said.

Dr. Charles Harper A Life Well Lived.

Charles Richard Harper, whose long career in aviation medicine encompassed starting a jungle survival school for the United States Navy in the Philippines, serving as United Airlines’ medical director and assessing pilots for Federal Aviation Administration medical flight certification through his private practice, died on January 19, 2018. He was 85. The cause was heart failure. An innovative thinker and advocate of preventive medicine and of a whole-person approach to health care, Harper’s medical career focused on more than just an examination of the physical symptoms of illness. As early as the 1960s and 1970s, he authored papers and gave lectures on the need for personality testing and psychiatric screening of pilots for entities including the International Air Transport Association and the International Congress of Aviation and Space Medicine. A gifted story teller with a sly wit, Harper was known for these entertaining lectures on aviation medicine. Pilots frequently stopped Harper and his wife at the airport to say how much they had enjoyed his presentations.

As vice president of medical services for United Airlines in Elk Grove, Ill., Harper implemented a full-scale employee assistance program which significantly reduced sick leave, and initiated psychiatric screening of pilots and others in safetysensitive positions.Later, as the medical director for General Dynamics Land Services Division in Troy, Mich., he developed preventive health and employee assistance programs. While vice president of medical services for Harvey Watt & Company in Atlanta, an airline pilot disability claims adjustment firm, he greatly

expanded its rehabilitation program, yielding earlier medical re-certification for pilots. He founded his private practice, Aeromedical, Inc., in Atlanta in 1994, serving as a FAA aviation medical examiner for commercial pilots. In addition to assisting pilots with their FAA medical certifications, he provided counsel on diet, exercise, vitamins, and prevention.

Harper considered his work at Aeromedical one of his greatest professional accomplishments, as over the course of his 24year private practice, he helped thousands of pilots maintain or recover their aviation careers. Another achievement he valued dates to the mid-1960s. As he recalled it, a rash of jetliner crashes related to severe turbulence prompted Congress to contemplate grounding all commercial jets until effective safety procedures could be developed. In his role as medical director for United Airlines in Denver, Harper worked with the airlines’ head of operations, the FAA, and the Navy to determine best practices for flying in or near severe turbulence. This work was crucial in helping pilots avoid turbulence-related accidents and in keeping commercial jetliners flying without interruption. Always eager for adventure, Harper began his medical career as a flight surgeon in the United States Navy, after attending the United States Naval School of Aviation Medicine in Pensacola, Fla., where he earned his pilot’s license.

In the late 1950s, he was posted to the Naval installation at Cubi Point/ Subic Bay in the Philippines. While there, Harper started a school for the airbase to teach pilots, crew and corpsmen how to survive in the dense tropical jungles. He spent days with the indigenous tribes learning to find clean water and edible plants, including–famously, among those he taught–a tuber which was safe to eat if submerged in a running stream for three days, but fatal to consume otherwise. He also volunteered at a clinic run by Lutheran missionaries, handling sick call for the Northern Filipino mountain people, performing minor surgeries and even treating two cases of leprosy. Through the mission, Harper also spent time with a tribe of headhunters, and video footage from the trip shows him dancing with them. He also traveled to Vietnam to help search for survivors of a plane crash on the Ho Chi Minh trail, in an area so remote his group had to build fires at night to keep the tigers at bay. This experience served as an entry to his later work for the Federal Aviation Administration in Washington, where, as chief of its accident investigation section, he traveled widely to examine the human and medical causes of plane crashes.

This foray into exotic locales took him far from his early life in the American West and Midwest. Harper was born at home during the height of the Depression, in the sawmill town of Wright City, Okla. His father, James, was a saw filer, sharpening the teeth of the huge circular blades used to slice logs into

lumber. His mother, Mary, was a baker who also raised foster children. The couple had five biological children, of which Harper was the youngest. The family moved to Phoenix when Harper was about two years old, and his mother died when he was six. After his mother’s death, Harper’s childhood was peripatetic, as he moved from Phoenix to the Toledo, Ohio, area to California, living with various family members.

One of his fondest memories was sleeping on the roof of his sister’s garage on sweltering Phoenix nights, looking up at the stars in the clear Arizona sky and listening to World War II news and programs such as the Green Lantern on a little radio with a wire antenna. He also fondly recalled his time at a Boy Scout camp in the South Mountains near Phoenix.

After high school, Harper moved to Ohio to work in his brother’s lockwasher factory and, in 1953, to earn a bachelor’s degree in biology and chemistry from the University of Toledo. He received his medical degree from Ohio State University College of Medicine in 1957. Shortly before his senior year in medical school, his friend and roommate Hyman Meyer Stockfish called him to the front porch of one of the dormitories to meet a young nursing student, Judith Neville. Along with another friend, the group went for coffee at the Tom Thumb diner. That introduction led to a date at the movies, and, eventually, to a wedding ceremony at the First Congregational Church in Painesville, Ohio. Harper and Neville were married in 1958, and together built a family.

Harper is survived by his wife of nearly 60 years, Judith; two sons, Charles Harper and Mark Harper; daughters-in-law Peggy Harper and Janet Conley; grandchildren Kelsey Harper Wang and her husband, Jeffrey Wang; Allison Harper, Christopher Harper, Sarah Harper, David Harper, and Lexie Harper.

Special prosecutor to probe ‘every corner’ of Michigan State

By Jason Hanna CNN

A special prosecutor will investigate Michigan State University “from the president’s office down” over how former MSU sports physician Larry Nassar could have sexually abused girls and young women for nearly 20 years without university action, Michigan Attorney General Bill Schuette said Saturday.

The investigation began last year, Schuette’s office said, but the scope and makeup of the probe wasn’t announced until Saturday.

“My department … will find out who knew what and when, who took action, who failed to take action, what did or did not happen, and what should have happened,” Schuette said at a news conference in Lansing.

“No individual and no department at Michigan State University is off-limits.”

Schuette’s statement comes a day after two prominent Michigan State coaches, longtime basketball coach Tom Izzo and football coach Mark Dantonio said they will not step down.

In response to allegations in an ESPN report of a pattern of suppression of reports of sexual assault, violence and gender discrimination by university officials, including the athletics department, Izzo said Friday night, “We will cooperate with any investigation going forward as we have always done.”

When asked about reports that he would be leaving the university, Izzo said, “Well, I’m not going anywhere, in my mind. I’m definitely not retiring.”

Dantonio held a news conference before the basketball game to say reports he would quit were “absolutely false.”

The investigation will be led by retired Kent County prose-

cutor William Forsyth, assisted by the Michigan State Police director, Col. Kriste Etue, who said she will help determine whether crimes were committed.

Earlier this week, Nassar — who also was a national team gymnastics team doctor — was sentenced to decades in prison for sexually abusing girls and young women in his care.

Forsyth said his investigation will determine: • How Nassar was allowed to abuse patients for nearly two decades without being stopped.

• Who at Michigan State was aware of his actions.

• What university officials did when they became aware.

“We’re going to put a bright light … at every corner of the university. This will be done right, period,” Schuette said.

Title IX is a federal law that protects people from sexual discrimination in education or other programs receiving federal aid.

USA Gymnastics and Michigan State have denied wrongdoing, and USA Gymnastics said it reported the allegations to authorities when it learned about the sexual abuse.

The university maintains that no official there believed Nassar committed sexual abuse until newspapers began reporting on the allegations in the summer of 2016. Any suggestion that it engaged in a coverup is “simply false,” a school statement asserted last week.

Nassar was a Michigan State sports physician from 1997 to sentenced to up to 175 years in prison for decades of sexual abuse. 2016.

Correct pruning is necessary for healthy, attractive landscape One of the most important cultural practices for maintaining woody ornamental plants is pruning. It helps to produce attractive, well-developed plants. Pruning is the process of removing plant parts to improve its shape, to reduce plant size, and to eliminate damaged or diseased parts. Each plant species in the landscape has its growth habit and specific pruning requirements.

Pruning is both an art and a science. It is an art in making the pruning cuts correctly and science in learning the proper methods and timing for pruning to gain the best results.

Unsightly plants often result from not pruning or pruning incorrectly.

Proper pruning requires a basic understanding of how plants respond to pruning. The terminal bud on the end of the branch secretes a hormone that suppresses the growth of the lateral buds. When the terminal is removed, the lateral buds and shoots begin to grow. The most vigorous new growth oc-

Most broad leafed ornamentals, like ligustrums, hollies, crape myrtles and cleyera respond well to renewal pruning. However, boxwoods recover slowly and can die when subjected to severe pruning.

Narrow-leafed coniferous evergreens, like junipers, Leyland cypress and arborvitaes should never be pruned in such a manner since they do not regenerate new growth from the old wood and could perish.

A hedge should be pruned into a trapezoidal shape with the narrowest part of the hedge at the top tapering to a broader base. This allows for adequate light to reach the lower portion of the hedge. If the fullest part of the hedge is at the top with it being narrower underneath, the under-

growth will be shaded out causing the shrub to have a thin and aesthetically unpleasant appearance.

The best time to prune varies with plant species and should be done at times that complement the growth characteristics, flowering, and other objectives you desire. Prune spring-flowering shrubs, like forsythias, flowering quince and azaleas after flowering since pruning before flowering will remove the flower buds.

Summer-flowering plants, such as vitex (chaste tree), tea olive, roses and crape myrtles can be pruned in the dormant season since they flower on the new growth.

Pruning plays an important role in the development and maintenance of woody plants. Developing clear pruning objectives is important, and by combining them with a basic understanding of pruning and the response of plants to it, you can get the results you desire.

If you would like to learn more, UGA Extension is offering a program

‘UNIQUE PROJECT’ Lawrenceville to break ground soon on low-income housing development

BY CURT YEOMANS

curt.yeomans @gwinnettdailypost.com

The Lawrenceville Housing Authority will break ground next month on the first part of a new housing community, which will replace a neighborhood that is being moved to make room for the city’s South Lawn

development.

Housing authority officials presented details of the 36unit community to the Lawrenceville City Council to get that body’s input Wednesday night. Richport Properties is working on the project, which will entail the existing Rob Durham, Ommie Harris and Sally Craig communities near City Hall being moved

to a site on Constitution Boulevard at Scenic Highway.

The public-private partnership project is expect to cost about $4 million.

“We’re very close to breaking ground, and I wanted you to start seeing the progress and the elevations,” City Manager Chuck Warbington told the City Council. “This is nowhere

near final.”

City officials announced plans for the 37-acre South Lawn mixed-use development last fall. Those plans call for large scale redevelopment connecting the Lawrenceville Lawn with City Hall and stretching out toward Scenic Highway.

That means existing neighborhoods and commer-

cial properties in the South Lawn footprint have to be torn down to make room for redevelopment.

“This development will blend today’s new urban living style and walkable environment with affordable housing options for those in need,” Warbington said

in a subsequent statement Thursday. “It is the goal of the city to focus on implementing the Downtown Master plan, fill in those areas needing a facelift and bring affordable housing, diverse housing options and a walkable environment to Lawrenceville’s core.

“This project supports that vision in redefining blighted corridor with a beautiful and new residential community that complements the Oak Street project and the South Lawn project in quality and connectivity of the downtown area.”

The first phase of work on building a replacement for the three housing authority communities is expected to break ground Feb. 23.

Architectural illustrations shown to the council Wednesday night were rough drafts of what the buildings could eventually look like, Warbington and Richport Properties’ Frank Wickstead said. They offer an idea of what the development could be expected to include.

The layout includes about eight buildings around a central green space with a pavilion.

Wickstead said the plan is to pursue permits for the development in two phases.

The first is a horizontal phase, which will set out the footprint of the buildings and is what officials will break ground on next month. The other is a vertical phase, which will entail construction of the housing units and come later, after final exterior designs are settled upon.

“We know we like our site plan,” Wickstead said.

“We’d like to have the

engineering proceed so that we can begin that process, know what our footprint of the buildings are, but play with the facade between now and (beginning the vertical phase).”

Construction on the full project is expected to be in full swing later this year, and the housing authority plans to open the new housing community by early March 2019.

The low-income housing communities that this new development will replace date back more than half a century. The Rob Durham and Ommie Harris communities were built in the early 1960s while the Sally Craig community was built in 1951, according to Wicksted.

In addition to a literal ground breaking, Lawrenceville Housing Authority Executive Director Lejla Slowinski said this project has also figuratively broken new ground in how local governments and agencies that work with low-income residents treat redevelopment.

“The city of Lawrenceville is really unique in Gwinnett county and really in this region in the way that it has partnered with the housing authority to redevelop this in a way that’s going to work for the city’s master plan and also ensure that our units are affordable and sustainable for at least the next 20 to 30 years,” she said.

Rick Porter with Richport Properties echoed those sentiments. This is the second major project Richport is working on in the city.

The other is the privately funded City View residential development on the old Lawrenceville High School

site north of the Lawrenceville Square.

“This truly is a unique project that offers an unprecedented benchmark in affordable housing projects, providing quality homes to those in need and blending that development with the rest of the community for a more inclusive environment,” Porter said in a statement.

“I am honored to have the opportunity to work with the city and the Lawrenceville Housing Authority in realizing this vision as we continue to build for the private sector in Lawrenceville as well.”

Slowinski said residents of the affected communities are excited about the development. Those residents will move into the new community when it opens.

“A lot of thought and discussion has gone into this project to make sure that it works for city but also works for our families in terms of modernizing the floor plan a little bit so it’s an upgrade from the 1950s,” she said.

During the meeting Wednesday, and again in a joint statement released by the city Thursday, Slowinski praised the city for working with the authority make sure low-income families affected by the South Lawn project were not overlooked.

“Our goal with this project is long-term preservation of affordable housing,” she said. “Oftentimes when cities redevelop their downtowns, affordable housing is just an afterthought.

I commend the city of Lawrenceville for working collaboratively with us to provide viable, quality housing options for residents at all income levels.”

High taxes make for a moving experience One reason Democrats seem so fixated on importing illegal immigrants and allowing their children to stay and become citizens may be the exodus from high-tax and traditionally Democratic states.

Anecdotal evidence is usually not helpful in determining trends, but when stories begin to accumulate and sound the same, attention must be paid.

Two friends of mine, who are longtime California residents, recently Cal decided to Thomas move from that highly taxed state to states with lower taxes.

As much as they love California, they tell me, they can no longer afford to live there.

United Van Lines’ National Movers Study has for more than 40 years tracked which states people are moving to and from. This should — and probably has — received attention from Democrats.

The Washington Free Beacon has analyzed the data and found people are leaving Illinois, New Jersey (where the new Democratic governor has promised to raise taxes) and New York, among other high-tax states. Sixty-three percent of outbound moves were from Illinois and New Jersey. New York (61 percent), Connecticut (57 percent) and Massachusetts (56 percent) rounded out the top five. It is hardly coincidental that these states are mostly controlled by Democrats. Illinois, with its Republican governor, is the lone exception, though the state remains heavily blue.

California’s top marginal income tax rate is 13.3 percent, the highest state income tax rate in the country, according to the National Tax Foundation. The state also ranks highest nationally in its sales tax of 7.25 percent. Anyone filling up at a gas station in California sees some of the highest prices per gallon in the country, thanks mainly to added taxes.

Apparently fearing an exodus of more high-income earners, Kevin de Leon, the state Senate’s president pro tempore, introduced a bill that would allow residents to write-off state taxes on their federal returns as a charitable donation.

This takes Democrats’ worship of government to a new level. Officials in the Trump administration have said they are doubtful such a bill, should it become law, will go down well with the Internal Revenue Service.

The left is so imprisoned by its own ideology — worshipping government as god — that it refuses to see what lower taxes are doing at the national level. From the roaring stock market, to the decrease in unemployment, to corporations offering bonuses and wage increases to their employees, to companies like Apple announcing plans to bring jobs and revenue (and taxes) back to America, one might think Democrats would jump on the bandwagon and try to claim some credit.

If Democrats think they can replace American citizens who are leaving some of these high-tax states with “Dreamers” and other undocumented people, they might want to consider a new Harvard CAPS/Harris poll conducted just prior to the government “shutdown.”

As reported by The Washington Times, while “Americans strongly support granting citizenship rights to illegal immigrant Dreamers … they also back Mr. Trump’s three demands for a border wall, limits to the chain of family migration and an end to the Diversity Visa Lottery. Most striking of all is the public’s demand for lower overall legal immigration — a position that has little traction on Capitol Hill but one that is overwhelmingly popular across the country.”

As some have been saying, they want their country back, and they have proved it by their support of Donald Trump and their rejection of high-tax states by leaving for more economically friendly ones.

Term limits are our last, best hope Mark Twain had a way with words — and a way of seeing the world through eyes that seemed more enlightened than the average person’s. He once observed, for instance, “Man is the only animal that blushes — or needs to.”

He also wrote, “It’s better to keep your mouth closed and be thought a fool than to open it and remove all doubt.”

Another. “There are idiots and there are congressmen, but I repeat myself.”

And this one. “There is no distinctly American criminal class — except Congress.”

Are you seeing a pattern here? Mark Twain didn’t think too much of the way Congress conducted our nation’s business — and he died in 1910. Apparently not much has changed over the past 100 years or so. I’m no Mark Twain, but I don’t think so much of Congress myself.

In fact, although I know some members of Congress personally whom I respect and admire and don’t mind eating a pork pig sandwich with, as a group, they are basically worthless and seem to be getting worse by the day.

Our senators and representatives are supposed to represent the people who elected them.

More and more and more it seems to me that members of

Darrell Huckaby Congress on both sides of the aisle have gotten way too used to putting political party and personal interests above the will of the people. I, for one, am sick and tired of it, but the way our system works it is harder to un-elect an incumbent than it is to dethrone the New England Patriots.

The Founding Fathers never dreamed that people would make a career out of congressional politics. That’s why they created two-year terms for representatives. You go to Washington and you don’t do the will of the people, you come right back home. The senators were not elected at all in the beginning. They were appointed by the state governments. Six years was the term, and most people thought that term would be their tenure.

Somewhere the system went sideways. Patrick Leahy has served in the U.S. Senate since Gerald Ford was president. Forty-three years.

Do you know how much power a person can amass in 43 years? Way, way, way too much power. Leahy happens to be a Democrat. The next four longest-tenured senators and six of the next seven are Republicans, ranging from Orrin Hatch with 41 years to John McCain with 31. Twenty-two senators have been in power since the previous century.

Over on the other side of the bicameral legislature, it is just as bad. Keep in mind that these people only serve two-year terms, so they are always in the process of running for office. Don Young of Alaska has been in Congress since before Herschel Walker started high school. In 1972, he was elected from Alaska and has been elected every two years since.

Nancy Pelosi has been in office since 1987. Maxine Waters has been in office since 1991, and Maxine Waters is as dumb as a stump. I know. I know.

I shouldn’t say that. Stumps have feelings, too.

That’s not the way our government was designed to work. Today’s politicians talk about the service they put in on behalf of the people. That sounds high-minded. Service.

But, back in the day, Grandpa used to tell me that he had to rent a bull to service his cows.

There’s more than one kind

of service, and I cannot help but believe we are getting the kind of service from the United States Congress that Grandpa got from his rented bull.

Another thing to think about.

The salary of a congressman is $174,000.

According to CNN Money, the median net worth of a U.S. Senator is $2.8 million, a representative a paltry $843,500.

How do you amass that kind of money while making $174,000 a year?

When I was younger and dumber, I didn’t understand those who wanted term limits.

I figured that we, the people, could limit the term of an elected official at the ballot box, whenever we wanted.

Now I know better, and setting term limits for Congress is probably the last, best hope for our country. I know the lawmakers aren’t going to vote themselves out of a job, so the only chance we have of doing that is a Convention of the States. Let him who has ears, hear.

And by the way, do you know what the official name is for a group of baboons?

It’s a congress. You can look it up.

Selah.

Random thoughts on gospel music, Rhodes scholars It doesn’t completely fill my bucket, but it is a darned good plank. Sometime ago, I opined about wanting to meet Bill and Gloria Gaither, who are to Southern gospel music what Rembrandt is to oil painting — the best.

That would just about complete my bucket list, which includes shooting the breeze with (pre-Twitter) presidents in the Oval Office; running the Olympic torch (twice); serving as president of the University of Georgia national alumni association; having a painting of mine hanging at the state Capitol and playing golf at the Old Course at St. Andrews. All good bucket material, but not Gaitheresque. Lo and behold, it turns out that loyal readers Jane and Michael Cox of Dunwoody are good friends with the Gaithers, have talked to them and tell me it will happen. In the meantime, Bill Gaither has sent me an autographed book on the roots of Southern gospel music.

I am heaven-bound. …

A personal message for Oconee County Sheriff Scott Berry: Please stick to law enforcement and leave the comedy stuff to me. Your Facebook posts are so entertaining that you are making me nervous. I might be forced to go get a real job. During the recent snowstorm that hit

Dick Yarbrough much of the state, Sheriff Berry encouraged citizens to stay off the roads, saying, “If a deputy is directing you to not travel down a roadway, he or she probably has a good reason for doing so.

The fact that you are from Wisconsin and say ‘this ain’t s—-’ is really not pertinent.”

And then this: “I know you need cigarettes, beer and wine to get you through having your kids at home. Can you just do without for a day? Stay home.”

This guy is good. …

At the risk of biting the hand that feeds me, I find too many media opinion-makers too predictable. They are either all in for Donald Trump or all out. All the time. How boring. I would rather have you have to read a few paragraphs to find out who I am about to skewer, be it the Georgia Baptist Convention lobbyist who says toting a gun to church is a “sanctity of life” issue — forget that New Testa-

ment stuff about “turn the other cheek” — or the head-banging cretins in the NFL (is it still around?) who dishonor their country while making more money in a year playing an irrelevant kid’s game than a schoolteacher will earn in a career.

And I’ve only just begun. …

Former state senator and current Republican gubernatorial candidate Hunter Hill is touting term limits as a part of his platform. Guess what? We already have term limits. They are called elections and We the Unwashed decide who serves and for how long. A major downside to term limits is that it put tremendous power into the hands of bureaucrats who are not elected. Most politicians will tell you they find it challenging enough to deal with all the bureaucratic red tape in government, even after having been in office for awhile.

Bureaucrats would eat termlimited legislators for lunch. …

Speaking of Hill, his departure from the Legislature means one less advocate for cutand-run public school policy, although I am sure someone will pop up to take his place and push for more tax credits to attend private schools. Just what our state needs: More money siphoned out of the state treasury. The Georgia Budget and Policy Institute estimates that

the dozen tax breaks lawmakers approved late in the 2017 session will cost the state treasury roughly $483 million over the next five years. That is almost a half-billion dollars sucked out of the budget. Guess that means we can’t fix what ails Georgia’s public schools. We just don’t have the money in the budget.

No wonder. …

Finally, in the WhateverFloats-Your-Boat department: The athletic supporters at You-Know-Where Institute of Technology are exulting on social media over Georgia’s overtime loss to Alabama in the national championship.

Bless their hearts. Their football team went 5-6, got their butts kicked by the Bulldogs, 38-7 and couldn’t even qualify for one of the several hundred made-for-TV bowl games.

To make matters worse, their basketball team was waxed by UGA, 80-59 earlier this season.

Look for them to start playing the academics card, for which I have a two-word response: Rhodes Scholars. We have a whole lot more of them than you do. Woof! Woof!

SUPER SIX TENNIS

MAKING A RACQUET

North Gwinnett’s Emma Fleming has tennis in her genes and looks forward to her senior season at North. (Photo: Kyle Hess)

North’s Fleming as adept with team as she is individually

By David Friedlander

david.friedlander @gwinnettdailypost.com

SUWANEE — It’s not uncommon to see elite junior tennis players participate in at least one season with their high school teams.

In fact, many of those players are quick to say that playing in a team

atmosphere is less stressful and brings a refreshing change from the pressure they feel on the summer tournament circuit.

It is far less common to see a player with Emma Fleming’s credentials play with her high school team all four seasons of her scholastic career.

Yet, as she enters her final season at North

Gwinnett, the senior said she wouldn’t rather be anywhere else but on the courts with her Bulldogs teammates and friends this time of year.

“I just like the team atmosphere,” Fleming said.

“In (USTA) tournaments, it’s more individual, which can be a lot more pressure.

In high school, you have your teammates cheering

for you. In tournaments, there’s no cheering. It’s just you out there by yourself.”

Not that Fleming hasn’t excelled in the more isolated atmosphere of junior tennis.

She carries a No. 25 state ranking among the Girls 18 age group, according to the USTA, and has been rated as a three-

star prospect and the No. 23 senior girls player in Georgia by TennisRecuiting.net.

Yet, there is something about the high school season that brings out even more in Fleming, a quality that has not gone unnoticed by her teammates or North coach Forrest Wood.

“She is really loved by

her teammates,” Wood said. “And she loves her teammates and loves the concept of team. That’s what makes her so special.”

Stock soaring, Buford’s Bart builds off breakout ’17

By Taylor Denman

taylor.denman @gwinnettdailypost.com

Joey Bart wasn’t going to fly under the radar during his senior season at Buford.

The Wolves’ catcher earned his spot in the starting lineup during his freshman season thanks to his pure hitting ability and tendency to reach base often. After his junior season, he was beginning to tap into his power potential. His .556 on-base percentage accompanied a .859 slugging percentage and rumors projected Bart could be drafted in the first four or five rounds of the 2015 MLB Draft.

But as the season went on, Bart saw fewer pitches to hit. As a result, his draft stock suffered. He was drafted by Tampa Bay in the 27th Round, one pick before his teammate Jake Higginbotham, taken by the Mets. It was all background noise to Bart, who led Buford to the Class AAAA state championship over Whitewater. Bart caught the final out of the game, then his pitcher Keyton Gibson in front of home plate.

“With all that going on, he found a way to focus on our team and our season,” former Buford head baseball coach Tony Wolfe said. “He led us to a championship even when

because Bart knew what was waiting for him at Georgia Tech. Yellow Jackets head coach Danny Hall had seen Bart develop into a prospect since he was 13 or 14 years old playing with his oldest son, Carter Hall, and Bart had a scholarship waiting for him at The Flats when he decided not to sign with Tampa Bay. “Coach Hall has probably seen almost every Georgia Tech catcher Joey Bart fires a ball to second game I’ve played since I during a game against Louisville last year. (Photo: Georwas 12,” Bart said. gia Tech Athletics) While Bart’s slugthat draft stuff might not regarding his draft stock ging numbers at Buford have gone quite as well as affect his job of leadstemmed primarily from he hoped.” ing Buford’s offense and his ability to find the gaps Wolfe said Bart never quarterbacking the defense and rack up doubles, let any disappointment during that state title run, his 6-foot-3, 230-pound he might have harbored and perhaps that’s partly frame was a power surge

ready to combust. During his freshman season at Georgia Tech, Bart had a .383 slugging percentage with one home run. That home run was in one of the last games of the season in the NCAA Gainesville Regional on June 5, a three-run homer against Connecticut.

Hall postulates Bart’s freshman season could go down as an outlier when his career as a Jacket is over. Bart spent a summer in the Cape Cod League before his sophomore season and refined his hitting mechanics. Months later, he mashed to the tune of 13 homers with a .575

Kansas State holds off Georgia UGA Sports Communications MANHATTAN, Kan. — The Georgia basketball team dropped a 56-51 decision to Kansas State in the Big 12/SEC Challenge at the Bramlage Coliseum on Saturday afternoon.

“It was a terrific, hardfought game,” Georgia head coach Mark Fox said. “Congratulations to Coach Weber and his team. I thought both teams really battled for 40 minutes. We didn’t finish a couple plays late, and they were able to get to the line and make free throws, and that was really the difference in the game.”

Senior forward Yante Maten, redshirt senior guard Juwan Parker and junior forward Derek Ogbeide fueled the Georgia offense, each with a double-digit scoring performance of 14, 11 and 10 points, respectively.

Maten has registered a double-digit point outing in all but one game this season. He also tacked on five rebounds and a block Saturday afternoon.

With seven lead changes and six tied scores, the point-margin between the two teams never exceeded six points. Georgia won the rebound battle, totaling 38 boards to the Wildcats’ 27.

After Georgia (12-8, 3-5) jumped to a 4-0 lead

in the opening minutes from Ogbeide and Parker jumpers, the two teams traded points until a Parker 3-pointer provided the Bulldogs the 15-11 edge. The Wildcats (16-5, 5-3) chipped away at the Georgia lead as the opening half winded down, taking a five-point advantage until Ogbeide supplied a dunk to cut the Kansas State margin to 26-23 at the half.

Georgia answered in the second half with an

11-2 tear, including a 7-0 run in the first 2:30 of the frame for the 34-28 lead. The six-point edge, which marked the largest of the game, was orchestrated by six points from Maten and four from Parker.

The Bulldogs contained the lead until the final five minutes of the game when Kansas State’s Cartier Diarra converted a three-point play from a layup that knotted the game at 49. Another

Wildcat free throw gave Kansas State its first lead since the first minute of the second half.

Kansas State found success from the freethrow line, using 12 second-half free throws, six in the final six minutes to overtake the Georgia lead and seal the 56-51 final.

Up next, Georgia returns home to Stegeman Coliseum to face Florida.

The game will be available on SEC Network at 7 p.m.

Fleming tournament before falling to perennial powerhouse Walton in the finals.

It was one of the most enjoyable experiences of her career.

“It was an amazing experience,” Fleming said. “That whole (state) playoff run was incredible.

Our team does a great job.

We just really fought on. … Everyone just did their part and were all in, kind of, in the finals. It was

kind of shocking to be there. It was a little starstruck moment, but maybe this year will be different.”

That Fleming fits so well into a team tennis situation shouldn’t be that big of a surprise considering her family lineage.

Her mother, Beth Marrow-Fleming, and her aunt, Beth’s twin sister Rachel Marrow-Lawrence, both excelled with one of the top college programs

in the nation at the University of Alabama.

And Fleming says she’s learned a lot about not only playing team tennis but tennis in general from her mother.

“Honestly, (she) taught me to have a good attitude and go out there and fight your hardest,” Fleming said. “It doesn’t matter.

You could go out there and play bad one day, and then play really good. It

doesn’t matter. It’s how you represent yourself.”

Wood is never worried about how Fleming will represent herself — whether it is in a team scenario like with North, or in college at Georgia College and State University, where she will attend and play beginning in the fall.

In fact, he believes his senior singles players have what it takes to succeed in

any tennis situation.

“What I’m really impressed with about her game is that she has every tool available to her,” Wood said. “She’s not just a one-dimensional player.

She can pound (the baseline) if she has to pound.

She can mix it up if she has to mix it up. She can volley if she has to volley.

She has all facets of the game, and she is intelligent and strong.”

“The biggest thing is that we reversed our loss to Rockdale from a couple of weeks ago,” Jannett said.

“They wrestled really well, and we told our boys that we’ve got some matchups that we’re going to have again. So we tried to reverse some of those losses that we had against them the first time.”

Archer and Rockdale were the only two teams to have first place finishes, but the host Grayson Rams managed to pick up two second-place finishes. Jack Lake (160) took second in a loss to Archer’s Degrenier, and Austin Muir (132) settled for second with a loss to Archer’s Doyle.

Andre Dennard of South Gwinnett was the only other Gwinnett competitor to take a second place finish in the 195-pound class.

All-in-all, Archer will send 13 wrestlers to sectionals, with eight first-place finishes and five secondplace finishes.

Coming in third place overall with 142 points, South Gwinnett will send 12 wrestlers to sectionals with its lone second-place finish, four third-place finishes and seven fourth-place finishes.

Grayson finished in fourth place with 130 points and will send nine wrestlers to sectionals after its two second-place finishes, six third-place finishes and one fourth-place finish.

The Shiloh Generals finished last with 42 points but will send Jakobi Givens to sectionals after his fourthplace finish in the 182-pound weight class.

Rodriguez clung to a 4-2 lead entering the final period. An escape and a takedown by the Mustang junior gave him a 7-2 lead.

Norcross earned a title at 285 as Antonio Holt pinned Parkview’s Oscar Balog at 4:55. Balog held a 5-3 lead heading into the final period, but Holt was able to turn the Panthers sophomore for the pin.

But the day belonged to the Broncos. Lawrence Martin improved to 24-11 on the season with a pin

Andrew Funston (132) defeated Jawon Young via pin at 2:30, and then teammate Joel Winters (138) pinned Demarcus Jones of Meadowcreek at 3:31.

In the finals’ most entertaining and controversial match, Brookwood’s Chandler Mullis defeated Christopher Castaneda of Central Gwinnett 8-5 at 145. On two occasions the match was stopped as scoring was questioned by both

wrestlers’ coaches. After a lengthy discussion in the third period, Mullis had a 6-5 lead with 35 seconds remaining. Mullis was able to fight off the takedown attempt and close out the match with a takedown of his own to secure the title.

At 152, the Broncos David Hornsby held off Matthew Watkins of LakesideDeKalb 4-2. Hornsby led 2-0 entering the final period.

Hornsby escaped but then was taken down leaving the score at 3-2 in favor of the Brookwood sophomore.

Hornsby secured an escape and was able to thwart Watkins’ takedown attempt for the win.

The only non-Gwinnett winner came at 160 pounds as Lakeside’s Cody Dominigue defeated Brookwood’s Camron Starks 4-0.

Brookwood’s Gabriel Lee then took home the title at 170 with a pin at 5:30 versus Shlomo Boyd of Norcross.

The Broncos’ Matthew Key (195) pinned Zacheriah Hamilton at 28 seconds and Justin Oldknow (220) pinned Daniel Guterrez at 1:55 to close out the Brookwood lineup of champions.

weaknesses and account for improvements they’ve made in the offseason.

That skill, Hall said, gets better with experience.

“Most catchers, it’s a process they have to go through,” he said. “They see where everybody is at, but they have to have a great relationship with the guy who’s pitching. It’s not like we pitch the same guy all the time. They have to understand each pitcher, what their strengths are, what buttons to push. As you get older, as a catcher, those things are as important as what goes on with you personally.”

One of those pitchers hoping to benefit from Bart’s expertise behind the plate is Jake Lee. The

former Whitewater pitcher, who started Game 1 of the series, has different emotions attached to the 2015 state title game. Bart’s story of redemption, after Buford was bounced by Cartersville in the 2014 championship, as a rude interruption for Lee who was studying while Bart recalled a Nick Wilhite throw to the plate that cut down a crucial run in the championship series.

The two shared a laugh, and Bart lapsed back into a reminiscent tone.

“We swept the playoffs,” Bart said. “We had a few close games, but we handled it the way we did.

That was a memorable senior season and it was so much fun.”

Bart So Bart adjusted and he could see the dividends of that adjustment come summertime.

So here’s Bart, once again, preparing for his junior season at Georgia Tech with rising draft projections and a host of preseason accolades pouring in. This time, the money seems like it will be too good for Bart to pass up. Baseball America ranks Bart as the No. 10 college draft prospect, the highest-rated college catcher in the class. He’s on the preseason All-American lists at DIbaseball.com, Perfect Game/Rawling and Collegiate Baseball after finishing the 2017 season as a Johnny Bench Award runner-up, given to the top catcher in college baseball

each season.

Takes on Bart’s makeup are positive. Bart’s broken finger held him off of the USA Baseball College National team roster last summer, but he’s continued to polish his defense — perhaps even more than his hitting, he said — particularly when it comes to pitch framing, which likely delights the Georgia Tech pitching staff.

Bart still has some homework before Georgia Tech begins the season on Feb. 16. Learning what makes each individual pitcher on Georgia Tech’s staff tick is a task that starts for Bart during the offseason. He plans to individually meet with each pitcher to diagnose their strengths,

Poise, depth help Dacula boys, girls sweep Lanier

By David Friedlander

david.friedlander @gwinnettdailypost.com

SUGAR HILL — Dacula’s basketball teams each delivered something their respective coaches have been waiting to see from them in Saturday night’s Region 8-AAAAAA doubleheader at Lanier.

The girls showed plenty of poise in their 49-37 victory, while the boys showed plenty of cohesiveness and depth in running past the Longhorns 72-61 to complete the Falcons’ sweep.

In the girls game, Dacula (12-10 overall, 6-2 in region) used a 24-7 run late in the first half after falling behind early by as much as 9-2 to build up a healthy lead that grew to as much as 15 points by halftime and to 18 at 3416 following a 3-pointer by Kendall Bollmer early in the third quarter.

But Lanier (18-5, 6-2) slowly began to chip away and cut the lead into single digits at 38-29 by the end of the third quarter after Mekala Fuller capped a 13-4 run with two free throws with 14 seconds left in the period.

The Longhorns pulled even closer thanks to a little controversy early in the fourth quarter, when a Dacula defender was whistled for a technical foul after reaching over the end line to swat away an inbound pass.

It was an almost identical play to the one that led to the successful protest by Discovery’s boys in their game with Collins Hill last weekend, and was the case in that example, Bailey Bassette hit both technical free throws for Lanier.

On the ensuing possession, Fuller connected on a 3-pointer to pull the Longhorns to within just six points at 40-34 with 5:45 still remaining.

By Christine Troyke But Dacula managed to regroup, with Alyssa Criscolo feeding Keyonna Gibbs for a layup just 26 seconds later at the 5:19 mark to push the Falcons’ lead back to eight at 42-34.

And Lanier was never able to pull as close again, with Dacula connecting on 8 of 11 free throws in the fourth quarter to gradually pull away.

“The girls have really shown a lot of mettle this year,” Dacula coach Jason Adams said. “They showed a lot of composure (during Lanier’s comeback). … They didn’t get rattled (following the technical). They didn’t lose their composure. They stepped up, handled the ball and made their (free throws).”

Aiyanna Hamilton led Dacula with 13 points and eight rebounds, while Criscolo added 11 points, six rebounds, four steals and two assists.

Bassette and and Christobel Ezumah each had nine points to lead Lainer.

In the boys game, guards Brendan Tucker and Mekhail Bethea each finished with

17 points to lead five Dacula players in double figures and help the Falcons (13-8, 6-2) win their third straight and sixth in the last eight games claim sole possession of second place in the region.

“I think our rotation has gotten a little bit better,” Dacula interim coach Byron Wilson said. “We talked earlier in the year of four guys capable of going for 20 (points) any given night. All of them on the floor at the same time at the beginning of (Saturday’s) game, the ball wasn’t moving. So we kind of adjusted that. We’ve gotten the guys to buy into a rotation.”

That rotation helped the Falcons out to a 17-10 lead, and then really got in gear after Lanier (15-8, 5-3) pulled as close as 19-15 following Jalen Surles’ 3-pointer with 7:02 left in the first half.

Quincy Ademokoya scored six points and Tucker added four more, including a steal and dunk off a coastto-coast drive that capped a 10-0 run that pushed the lead into double figures for good, and reached 38-24 by halftime.

Peachtree Ridge hoops sweeps Mountain View

By Collin Huguley Staff Correspondent

SUWANEE — On Saturday evening, the Peachtree Ridge Lions hosted the Mountain View Bears in the second matchup between the two teams in one week.

After Mountain View took home an eight-point win over the Lions on Tuesday night, Ridge set its sights on revenge and put together an excellent team performance in its convincing 68-57 win on Saturday.

Lions senior wing Devin Vassell scored 17 points, but Ridge got a huge boost off of the bench from junior guard Kamerron Oyala, who scored a game-high 23 points on 7-for-10 shooting from the field. Combine those performances with a strong physical advantage on the boards and the Lions righted the wrongs of their loss to Mountain View four nights ago.

“We definitely wanted to defend a lot better than we did last time,” Peachtree Ridge assistant coach Marcus Diggs said. “We weren’t very sound defensively and we didn’t rebound the ball well (on Tuesday). But tonight we came out with way more discipline than we did the first time that we played them.”

The Lions (18-4, 7-2) held the lead for almost the entire game and began to really seize control in the second quarter.

Mountain View’s Naheim Allenye left the game with a nose injury after being fouled a few minutes into the second quarter. While he would later return, the Lions took advantage in the short term with a 7-0 run shortly

Gladiators’ Bonar shuts out Norfolk in his return

after Allenye’s departure, a stretch that would help build a 31-24 lead for Ridge as the teams went into the locker rooms for halftime.

Vassell had 11 of his points in the first 16 minutes and the Lions shot 50 percent from 3-point range in a solid first half. The Lions were also able to hold Bears senior guard Spencer Rodgers to just six first-half points and also held a 13-6 rebounding advantage after two quarters.

“I thought (Peachtree Ridge) rebounded the ball really well tonight and we struggled with that,” Mountain View head coach B.J. Roy said. “We struggled to find a flow defensively and getting stops and rebounds.

We never really got that going tonight so that was something that was a concern for us.”

In the second half, it would turn out to be more of the same for the Lions.

While Mountain View would put together some small runs to bring the game within five or six points, the Bears (18-4, 8-3) could never break through. Even though the Bears got strong showings out of Rodgers (19 points) and senior Miles Long (13 points), the Bears were outgunned by Vassell and Oyala, who put on a very efficient display of scoring and made the Bears pay when they keyed in on others.

“It’s great (to have Oyala play so well),” Vassell said.

“It’s great because every game, it’s not just one person, it is the whole team.

So I’m just glad that he was able to step up and help us get this win.”

Saturday’s performance

was an impressive one put on by the Lions, who were out to prove that they were much better than they showed in a 56-48 loss to the Bears on Tuesday.

With such a resounding win, the Lions certainly did that and are confident going forward having avenged their last loss. And with a deep roster surrounding a talented player like Vassell, the Lions feel that a win like the one they got on Saturday could help propel them to greater heights. “(He is a) special kid, humble kid, leader, does all of the right things,” Diggs said of Vassell. “And when we have a kid like that on the team, the sky is the limit.”

Peachtree Ridge (girls) 48, Mountain View 41 The Mountain View girls basketball team won a hardfought game over Peachtree Ridge on Saturday afternoon.

The two teams engaged in a back-and-forth affair that led to a tight finish. The Lions led 41-40 with under two minutes left before the Bears made their run.

Sophomore Leslie Hodges hit a jumper with 1:16 left to give Mountain View a 42-41 lead before Kamryn Collins stole the ball on the ensuing Ridge possession to force the game into a free-throw contest. The Bears (17-6, 9-2) converted on their opportunities and escaped with a 48-41 win after scoring the last eight points in the game.

Junior point guard Alea Spears led Mountain View with 20 points while sophomore Payton Hicks led the Lions (10-11, 1-8) with 14 points.

“You have to make teams pay when they go down two men,” Nesbitt said. “It doesn’t happen often. Luckily enough, we did tonight.

“The first thing I did was look up at the clock to see if we got it in time so we could have another power play. We had six seconds left so it was timely and it was a big goal for the group.”

The third period included another bout when Alexandre Carrier took exception to a hit on teammate Zach Malatesta along the boards and fought Mitch Vandergunst 2:02 into the period.

Malatesta had to be helped from the ice, putting no weight on one leg. Nesbitt, who rarely explodes, had words for Vandergunst as he sat in the penalty box.

“Chalk that up to the league wanting us to play back to back and triple headers with teams,” Nesbitt said. “If you want us to play playoff-like schedules during the season, then you’re going to have to deal with (the vitriol). Until they change the schedule, that’s going to happen and it’s got to be policed out there.”

Atlanta added some breathing room at 11:27 of the third period with Luke Sandler’s eighth goal of the season. Sandler was out front to deflect a heavy shot from defenseman Colin Sullivan for a 3-0 lead.

Carrier firmly shut the door with his third goal of the season in the final minutes. Carrier scooped up his own rebound and tucked it behind Murray with 1:31 left in regulation.

It completed the Gordie Howe hat trick for Carrier, who assisted on the game’s first goal.

There’s little time to savor the win. Atlanta plays its third game in 48 hours when Orlando arrives.

For some, it‘s a way to let loose, for others, the practice of making art helps them deal with specific intellectual difficulties. But each client in the Creative Enterprises art program is a true folk artist, according to the Lawrenceville nonprofit executive director Leigh McIntosh.

When the word folk art comes to mind, many picture vibrant cultural artifacts such as pottery, tapestries and woven blankets. A more contemporary understanding of the term emphasizes its relationship with self-education.

“A folk artist is someone who is self-taught, basically,” McIntosh said. “They have not had any formal kind of training.”

Founded in the 1970s, Creative Enterprises is an occupational learning center for adults with disabilities and for many it is a college equivalent. The institution features an animal shelter, a thrift store

Finding my grace in A ‘Dukes’ reunion that a hotel bathroom stall was fun for everyone I arrived at the Dallas airport after midnight. It was 1 a.m. before I got to the hotel. The desk clerk couldn’t find the training manuals I’d shipped ahead. Digging through boxes in the shipping department took another 30 minutes.

Sure enough my boxes were there, but no one was available to help me get them up to the meeting room. It was 2 a.m. by the time I got to my room.

Now, here I was at 8 a.m., a scant six hours later, standing in the back of a ballroom of people, getting ready to take the stage to run a two-day sales program. I was supposed to be motivational, but the truth was, I felt anything but. The late flight and the search for the boxes had put me over the edge.

I’ve always thought of myself as a positive person. But weeks of being on the road had taken their toll. In that moment, I found myself thinking, “Just do the basics.

All I need to do is make it through the next two days.”

With 15 minutes left before we started, I did what many professional women do, but very few admit to. I headed for the ladies room, locked myself in the stall and began to cry.

As I sat there, silently weeping and feeling sorry for myself, two of the attendees came out of stalls and began talking to

“

Every moment matters. If you show up with a victim mindset you’re not helping anyone, including yourself.”

Lisa McLeod each other. The first one said, “I’m so excited, I’ve been wanting to do this program for a year.” The second one said, “I know, I heard it’s great. It’s the first thing my new boss wanted me to do when I got promoted.”

Listening to them so excited about the program, what I was dreading was a wake up call.

It was clear: I had been given the chance to touch lives and I was blowing it.

In that minute, I finally got it: Every moment matters. If you show up with a victim mindset you’re not helping anyone, including yourself.

You get what you give.

You can’t control circumstances, but you can always control your response.

That was 15 years ago.

I’m forever grateful to those two young women.

Since that moment I have made a conscious effort to infuse positive energy and love into my work, and to bring the best of what I’ve got into every situation. I don’t master it every time.

But I do my best.

I can tell you, it’s

transformative. When you recognize your own power to transform negative situations, it’s a game changer. For me it has reaped bigger rewards than anything I could have imagined crying in my bathroom stall pity party all those years ago.

I ran across a prayer a few years ago that articulates the aspiration: “I pray that when the time comes, and all eyes and ears turn my way, that somehow — despite my shortcomings — I become an instrument of grace. Let the light flow through me.”

We all have an opportunity to be an instrument of grace and light.

There’s always a bad meeting, lost boxes, travel delays and problems.

Your response to these challenges can make life better for you and others, or worse. You are always at choice. You can have a pity party in the bathroom or you can make the most of the circumstances you’re in.

EDITOR’S NOTE: This is the second installment of a three-part series.

The faithful came. There were no church houses, no steeples, no pulpits and no altars. But those who practice a secular gospel, a devotion to boys known as Luke and Bo, poured in and assembled themselves together.

It had rained pretty much regularly for the last 30 hours, so the mud in the countryside of Luray, Va., was murky and deep. Traffic stretched for miles from all sides, and some people sat in traffic for three hours, patiently waiting to park. Because they are devoted. They had come to see Cooter’s Last Stand, the final — probably — reunion of “The Dukes of Hazzard,” hosted

by Mr. Ben Jones, known to the faithful as Cooter.

I knew it wasn’t going to be a pretty sight. As I inched through traffic, sometimes sitting for 15 minutes without moving, I remembered as a young sports writer when I covered the Atlanta Steeplechase, followed a few months later by the first NASCAR race I ever attended, which was held at the old Atlanta International Raceway. For both events, the rain poured. The horses carried on, but the car race was finally called off. I returned to the newspaper both times with muddied clothes so wet they weighed as much as I did.

I thought about turning around, but I had driven eight hours. I came to finish what I had started. Now, I wouldn’t take nothing for the

beer. It was truly a family event. No one tried to break the rules. It was uplifting to behold.

As kids galloped through the ankle deep mud, I thought of the Civil War battle that was fought not too far away in New Market.

PET OF THE WEEK

Chloe is a beautiful 2-year-old Tabby cat with a white diamond on her nose.

(Special Photo)

Each week, the Gwinnett Daily Post will feature an animal available for adoption at the Georgia SPCA, which is located at 1175 Buford Highway, Suite 109, Suwanee, GA 30024. The hours of operation are Mondays through Fridays 11 a.m. until 7 p.m., Saturdays 11 a.m. until 5 p.m. and Sundays 1 until 4 p.m. You can see the rest of the adoptable cats and dogs at www.georgiaspca.org.

Chloe is a beautiful 2-year-old Tabby cat with a white diamond on her nose. She was declawed before she came to us, so she must be an indoor only cat since she has no way of defending herself against outdoor predators. But she is as happy as can be and loves attention, so please stop by the GA SPCA and meet her.

Chloe has been spayed and given age appropriate vaccinations, dewormed, given flea/tick prevention, disease testing for FeLV & FIV, a 24Petwatch micro chip, and her adopter will receive 30 days of 24PetWatch Pet Emergency Insurance.

If you are interested in seeing any of the pets up for adoption, visit the GA SPCA, located at 1175 Buford Highway, Suite 109, in Suwanee, or call at 678-765-2726.

Why parents should consider commuter college for their kids For many parents, the prospect of sending their kids off to college can be frightening. If the price tag isn’t scary enough, there are plenty of stories about rape culture, fatal binge drinking and the opioid crisis to keep parents awake at night.

The problem is perhaps especially acute for conservatives, who in addition to all the above also have legitimate concerns about their children being exposed to hedonistic lifestyles and subjected to left-wing political indoctrination.

So what’s a conservative

Rob Jenkins parent to do?

One option is a religious school, where besides receiving (in most cases) a fine education, young people can live and study in a relatively safe and shel-

tered environment.

But those institutions are often extremely expensive, and the fact of the matter is, once kids get away from home, all bets are off.

Students at religious colleges are hardly immune to drug and alcohol abuse or dangerous sexual liaisons.

All Veterans

experienced faculty (as opposed to graduate students) and thriving honors programs.

Meanwhile, students at a commuter college are somewhat less likely to encounter “wing-nut” profs or get caught up in radical student groups — especially while living at home.

If you’re one of those parents who would never consider a commuter college because it’s not as prestigious, I humbly submit that you might want to re-examine your priorities. Perhaps your children’s well-being and your family’s financial health are more important than what the neighbors think.

bestbets SUNDAY 7:30 p.m. on CBS The 60th Annual Grammy Awards For the first time since 2003, this year’s ceremony honoring the best artists, recordings and compositions of the year does so in a New York state of mind, as the show is held someplace other than its longtime home at the Staples Center in Los Angeles. From Madison Square Garden in New York, CBS late-night host James Corden returns to host for the second consecutive year. Reflecting the shift in venue, the show

includes a Broadway tribute by Tony Award winners Patti LuPone and Ben Platt.

Chiara Aurelia also guest stars.

9:31 p.m. on NBC A.P. Bio Seth Meyers is one of the creators and executive producers of this new sitcom, which gets a sneak preview tonight before beginning its regular weekly run next next month. Glenn Howerton (“It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia”) stars as disgraced Harvard philosopher Jack Griffin, who misses out on a dream job and is forced to return to his hometown to work at his old high school as a teacher of Advanced Placement Biology (hence the series title). Patton Oswalt plays his beleaguered principal.

10 p.m. on CBS S.W.A.T. Cyanide becomes a potential weapon for militia members,

prompting a joint effort by S.W.A.T. and the FBI to stop the threat, in the new episode “Contamination.” Jessica (Stephanie Sigman) worries about potential fallout from the initiatives she’s developed with the chief of the police commission (recurring guest star Peter Facinelli). Bre Blair also returns in her guest role. Shemar Moore, Jay Harrington, Alex Russell, Lina Esco and Kenny Johnson also star.

FRIDAY 8 p.m. on NBC Blindspot Weller (Sullivan Stapleton) and his former FBI partner must try to recapture their old professional chemistry as they re-team for a dangerous undercover mission with unusually high stakes in a new episode called “Two Legendary Chums.” Elsewhere, Zapata (Audrey Esparza) finds herself grilling an enemy from the past.

Kristina Reyes, Anthony Lemke and Medina Senghore guest star; Jaimie Alexander, Rob Brown and Ashley Johnson also star.

Julius Tennon and Tisha CampbellMartin also star as Simone’s parents, Ron and Nellie Biles; Kathleen Rose Perkins plays head coach Aimee Boorman.

Tojuan Washington, above left, is a client artist at Creative Enterprises. Inspired by renowned Black artists, his work is Afrocentric and his aesthetic is precise and minimalistic.

For many of the client artists at Creative Enterprises, art is therapeutic, a means to express themselves. Each artist creates unique work and has a distinct style. (Staff Photos: Julie Thompson)

Art

Strolling past yellow sunflowers and a tiled mosaic above the door, an exhibit of diverse art styles and mediums are on display. Some of the canvases and other materials are donated, while other works are made from scavenged cardboard and twigs.

In the corner are some of Sequoyah Margroski’s paintings. Large, bright and colorful shapes are the basic form of Margroski’s pristine works.

In explaining his process, Margroski, who is the captain of a Special Olympics bocce team called the Jedi Masters, said he usually paints whatever comes to his head. Usually that is something from a horror or sci-fi films. He calls these works his “little monsters.”

For many of the adults at Creative Enterprises, art is a way to express themselves where words fail. Margroski has trouble with verbal communication, but through his work he is able to convey his feelings and even earn an income.

Tojuan Hawkins is another one of Creative Enterprise’s folk artists.

The New York native lives in Lawrenceville on a farm with his parents.

A generally social and confident personality, Hawkins admitted that change is hard for him.

He enjoys regularity, and between his academics at Creative and helping with the many tedious chores at home, he follows a tight schedule.

Hawkin’s attention to detail is apparent in his work. His work can be described as Afrocentric, as he often emulates black artists or replicates family photos. Each of his paintings are distinguished by precise proportions and shades.

One of the more uncommon art displays is made by Bob Hartman.

Walking sticks and boxes embellished with garage sale trinkets like old toys, Lego men and candy wrappers are Hartman’s specialty. He has buckets of the stuff in his sister’s basement; enough for many creations to come.

“I get frustrated because there are so many things I need to do,” Hartman said when asked about the satisfaction he gets from his work. “But I have to do it.”

Those who keep an eye out might see some of the nonprofit’s folk art around downtown Law-

“

It helps people express themselves where words don’t work.”

— Latricia Raffety, art instructor at Creative Enterprises

renceville.

For one, the Aurora Theatre’s Christmas tree was decorated with hand-painted cat ornaments made from cardboard, that are reminiscent of the pets that are up for adoption at the Creative Enterprises animal shelter.

And the Lona Art Gallery partners with the nonprofit from time to time. This past October, Lona hosted an art auction and fundraising event where client artists had the chance to sell their work. Margroski sold five paintings, according to his caregiver, Tameka James. Hawkins sold two paintings, his mother Gwendolyn Washington said.

A nine-year veteran to the program, art instructor Latricia Raffety finds creating art has a profound effect on each of the adults she works with.

“It helps people express themselves where words don’t work,” said Raffety, who instructs the classes on most days.

Often art helps them overcome specific challenges — for Margroski it’s a way to calm down and form a perspective that allows him to work with others.

For Tojuan Hawkins, art is a major source of confidence. Through the medium of his paintings and sketches, he is able to share his passion and express his family loyalties.

The point of the art program, as with all programs at Creative Enterprise, is to showcase what the clients can do. Immersed in the flower power energy of their creative hub, these artists have exhibited an art form that cannot be taught or replicated at contemporary state of the art institutions or galleries.

“Coming up with their own ideas was the hard part, but once they did it, they truly became folk artists,” McIntosh said of the adults she works with.
