As the final days of his political career tick away, state Rep. Brooks Coleman is the last man standing in a manner of speaking.

The 79-year-old retiring legislator from Duluth recently flipped through his copy of the General Assembly legislators guide brook from 1993, recounting the people who represented Gwinnett County in the legislature that year, including himself. The pages have turned yellow with the passage of time. A couple of pages have come loose.

He recalled how his former fellow Gwinnett legislators from 1993 gradually left the Gold Dome.

Former Buford City Schools Superintendent Geye Hamby, who resigned earlier this year after after audio surfaced of him allegedly spewing racist comments about African-Americans, including using the nword, led his district “by fear and intimidation,” a former Buford principal recently testified.

Banks Bitterman, who resigned from Buford High School as principal Geye at the end of the 2016-17 Hamby school year, testified on Dec. 5, where he painted a picture of Hamby as an erratic leader who openly made racist comments about black people, including repeatedly referring to a former assistant principal as a “black sow.”

Banks The disposition came Bitterman as part of a lawsuit brought by Mary Ingram, a former paraprofessional educator at Buford Academy, who is suing Hamby, Buford City Schools and Buford Academy Principal Kaleen Pulley for alleged race discrimination and retaliation.

Hamby resigned in late August following uproar about two audio recordings that were included in the suit, in which a man said to be Hamby makes derogatory comments against black construction workers, referring to them by the n-word and saying that he would “kill these (expletive).”

In one of the the recordings, the person presumed to be Hamby is speaking about black temp workers at an unknown construction site, specifically one who “got smart” with a man Hamby knows.

“He said he worked for the temp service and he didn’t have to do what the (expletive) we tell him to do,” the person alleged to be Hamby said. “(Expletive) that (nword.) I’ll kill these (expletives) — shoot that (expletive) if they let me. Alright. Well, check out what’s going on with all the (nwords) down here.

Efstration to file anti-human trafficking legislation State Rep. Chuck Efstration, R-Dacula, announced this week that he will pursue a legislative option to battle human trafficking when the Georgia General Assembly convenes later this month.

Efstration said he announced plans to file the legislation Chuck Efstration during a press conference hosted by Lawrenceville-based Street Grace at Atlantic Station in Atlanta on Wednesday.

Gov.-elect Brian Kemp and Georgia Attorney General Chris Carr also attended the press conference.

“Human trafficking is an evil and damaging criminal enterprise, with victims of all ages and backgrounds from every region of our state,” Efstration said in a statement. “I will introduce legislation to give law enforcement the tools needed to identify and prosecute traffickers, as well as the purchasers and enablers who are also culpable for these heinous crimes.”

Political Notebook

Curt Yeomans The Georgia General Assembly’s 2019 legislative session is set to begin Jan. 14. This won’t be the first foray into trafficking legislation for Efstration, an attorney and former prosecutor. He and state Sen. Renee Unterman, R-Buford, have teamed up in the past to work on sex trafficking legislation.

Efstration said he and the Georgia Association of Convenience Stores also unveiled training last year that would be provided to convenience store employees throughout the state to teach them how to spot the signs of human trafficking.

The gun used in the New Year’s Eve shooting that left two teens dead had been stolen from a car less than half a mile away the previous day, police said Friday.

According to detectives, on Dec. 30, a man reported that his unlocked car was entered while he was dropping off his son at the son’s mother’s home, which is located in a neighborhood just behind Riverlanding Circle in Lawrenceville.

“He parked his vehicle around 5:45 p.m. and came back outside around 6:30 p.m.,” police said. “When he approached his vehicle, he saw that the passenger side door was open and his holster was lying on the

He was later able to provide police with its serial number, which was matched to the gun used in Monday’s shootings, which left Chad Carless, 17, and Devin Hodges, 15, dead.

While it’s still unclear who stole the gun and how it got into Hodges’ hands, police said previously that Carless and Hodges were with two other friends in a “cramped shed” located

behind a home on Riverlanding Circle — neighbors described the structure as a popular hangout spot that was built “years and years ago” — when Hodges, who “was showing the group a handgun … accidentally fired a shot.”

“The shot struck his friend, Carless, sitting next to him in the cramped shed,” police said. “Carless succumbed to his injuries before help could arrive.

As officers were arriving on the scene, Hodges was seen running between two homes where he then took his own life with the handgun.”

A police spokeswoman said she has “not been told of any connection between the theft victim and the teens,” though detectives are “still working on this case and the series of events that followed.”

PAGE 3 A • SUNDAY, JANUARY 6, 2019

The 10 worst things Trump did in 2018 WASHINGTON — In his second year in office, President Trump did many positive things, and in my column earlier this week, I offered my list of the 10 best things Trump did in 2018. But he also did a lot of bad things that ranged from cringeworthy to catastrophic. Here are the 10 worst: 10. His comment about “sh--hole” countries blew up negotiations for a deal that would have given Trump his border wall. Nearly a year ago, the president made a bold offer to Democrats — putting not just legal status but also a path to citizenship for nearly 1.8 million young illegal immigrants on the table.

Then his abhorrent comMarc ment undermined DemoThiessen crats who were serious about cutting a deal and gave those who were not a pretext to walk away.

9. His offensive tweets continued to undermine his presidency. Calling former White House aide Omarosa Manigault Newman “a dog” and Stormy Daniels “Horseface” — among countless offensive tweets — is not just unpresidential, it drives away potential supporters who like his policies but then are reminded how much they don’t like Trump.

8. His misuse of power turned critics into martyrs. Revoking former CIA director John Brennan’s security clearance and CNN White House correspondent Jim Acosta’s White House press pass turned partisan critics who were embarrassing themselves into victims — and gave them an even greater platform from which to attack him.

7. He drove away suburban voters and caused the GOP to lose control of the House. That’s because the president has sought to energize his base in ways that drive those voters away. If he wants to win reelection, Trump needs to bring suburban Republican voters back into the GOP fold.

6. His graceless handling of Sen. John McCain’s funeral was a new low. Trump didn’t like McCain, but when you’re the president, sometimes you must honor people you didn’t like.

McCain was an American hero. Trump’s inability to muster a kind or generous word reflected poorly on the president.

5. His handling of Jamal Khashoggi’s murder harmed America’s moral standing. Trump is right that a permanent breach with Saudi Arabia is not acceptable, because there is no other country in the Middle East that can serve as a counterweight to Iran. But it was unseemly to declare that “It’s all about ‘America First’” and “We’re not going to give up hundreds of billions of dollars in orders.”

4. His news conference with Vladimir Putin in Helsinki was an embarrassment. His meeting with the Russian president came on the heels of Russia’s attempted assassination of a dissident on British soil using banned chemical weapons and the indictment of 12 Russians for 2016 election meddling. Instead of condemning these actions, Trump publicly sided with Putin over his own intelligence community.

3. His policy to separate migrant children from their families at the southern border was an avoidable tragedy. There is nothing wrong with a zero-tolerance policy for illegal crossings. But his administration’s failure to anticipate and prepare for how to deal with migrant families was gross negligence — a symptom of the chaos that is undermining his presidency.

2. His planned withdrawal of U.S. forces from Afghanistan is a gift to the Taliban and al-Qaeda.

In 2017, my Top 10 Best list praised Trump for reversing President Barack Obama’s disastrous withdrawal, which he said “would create a vacuum for terrorists.” But in December, Trump ordered the military to start planning the withdrawal of roughly 7,000 troops — about half the number of U.S. forces in Afghanistan. The news came just as U.S. officials were holding talks with the Taliban, whose No. 1 demand is … the withdrawal of U.S. forces. Hardly the “art of the deal.”

1. His pullout of all U.S. troops in Syria will take America’s boot off of the terrorists’ necks.

Trump’s claim that “we have defeated ISIS in Syria” is as bad as Obama’s dismissing them as the “JV” squad. The Islamic State still has up to 30,000 fighters in Iraq and Syria and about $400 million in their coffers. The Islamic State is not defeated, and not one member of Trump’s national security team agrees with his decision to withdraw. If he lets the Islamic State off the mat like Obama did in Iraq in 2011, our nation will pay a terrible price.

It is notable that, with the exception of troop withdrawals and family separations, most of the items on this list were transgressions of style rather than substance. With the mute button on, the Trump presidency is pretty good from a conservative policy perspective. And yet Trump’s approval rating at year’s end is just 39 percent — because most Americans don’t follow politics with the sound off.

2018 was the year of the turnaround America is experiencing the greatest economic turnaround in U.S. history. Two weeks after President Donald Trump was inaugurated, I was in a small meeting in the Oval Office to establish the agenda for 2017 and 2018. He said that job one was to grow the economy, and he laid out a plan to focus on regulations, energy, taxes and Dodd-Frank.

President Trump’s agenda is working.

When I ran for the U.S. Senate in 2014, I talked about how $6 trillion was not at work in our economy. By rolling back regulations, undoing the most onerous parts of Dodd-Frank and changing the tax code to end the archaic repatriation tax, we’ve begun freeing up that $6 trillion to work in our economy. Look at the results.

More than 4 million new jobs have been created.

Middle-class income is the highest it’s ever been. Total unemployment is at a 50-year low. African-American unemployment is the lowest ever recorded. More than 1,500 bureaucrats have been fired at the VA for poor performance.

Consumer confidence is at a 20-year high. Small business optimism is at a 35-year high.

President Trump promised to be there for farmers in Georgia and around the country. In December, we got a good Farm Bill across the

have shown they will do whatever it takes to obstruct this president’s agenda, including shutting down the government. Political self-interest cannot continue to come before the national interest.

We must break through the gridlock in order to deal with the big issues, including the $21 trillion debt crisis. This year’s economic growth is the first step toward tackling this debt. Now it’s time for action to change Washington’s broken budget process, cut redundant agencies, save Social Security and Medicare, and get after spiraling health care costs. Each of these is critical to dealing with the debt over the long-term.

The results of 2018 are not just Republican talking points.

They are American accomplishments, some of which were done with bipartisan support. In 2019, we have to keep up the momentum. At the federal level, the key question in 2019 will be whether House Democrats will work with the president to legislate, or will they yield to political self-interest and only investigate?

Sen. David Perdue is the only Fortune 500 CEO in Congress and is serving his first term in the United States Senate, where he represents Georgia on the Armed Services, Banking, Budget, and Agriculture Committees.

A look at what could be top stories of 2019 I am not very good at prognostications. But I am always full of hope. There are a number of events I would love to see happen in 2019; so much so that I have already written a short release on each should they occur.

So, let’s get right to the I-hope-we-read stories in 2019: Public school teacher committee to study delaying start of Georgia General Assembly A committee of public schoolteachers is looking at when the General Assembly should begin its yearly legislative sessions. They were inspired by a bunch of state senators who think they know best when schools should start without asking teachers for their opinions.

What is seasonal affective disorder?

DEAR DR. ROACH: Would you write about seasonal affective disorder to help so many others who may be suffering with this, but don’t even know it? I was diagnosed with clinical depression following a move from Southern California to Central Wisconsin. I took medication and had counseling, and after a couple of years was doing well. My doctor and I decided I could go off Prozac.

I did really well for a while, but then in the winter, I became depressed again. This time, the antidepressants did not help at all. In the spring, I read an article describing seasonal affective disorder, and recognized myself! I was so excited to learn more that I contacted my psychiatrist, who said he didn’t really know much about it, but gave me a small article from a professional journal that included information about light therapy.

I bought a light box and have used it every year since then. Now I do not need antidepressants at all! I believe that this is something many people are not aware of, and with the long winter nights coming on soon, it might be something that you would write about. Since I got my SAD lamp, the availability of high-quality therapeutic lights has definitely grown. I truly believe that light therapy saved my life. It has made the winters bearable. Every time I hear someone say, “I HATE winter,” I ask if he or she has ever heard of SAD, and talk about my experience.

— T.M.H. ANSWER: Seasonal affective disorder is a condition of recurrent mood disorders, especially major depressive illness episodes, occurring in a particular season, usually winter. Without treatment, symptoms often improve in spring or early summer. It is far more common than you might think — 0.5 percent to 3 percent of the population met criteria for this disorder in a well-done study. Worse, 60 percent of people diagnosed with SAD have never been offered treatment for the condition.

What causes SAD is unknown. Theories include issues with circadian rhythms, relating to the decreasing amount of sunlight; changes in melatonin synthesis; and changes in the sensitivity of the retina to light.

Treatment for SAD may consist of light therapy, which worked well for you, but does not work as well for others; drug therapy, such as fluoxetine (Prozac) or bupropion (Wellbutrin); and talk therapy. These may be more effective when used in combination. In addition to these primary therapies, careful attention to sleep and exercise are useful adjunct treatments.

Light therapy can be done many different ways. One well-studied method is bright light for a half-hour each day beginning 10 minutes after awakening. Other studies have shown good results with less-intense light for longer periods (two hours).

Finally, simulating dawn with gradually increasing light has been effective in several trials. As always, finding an experienced mental health professional is likely to result in better outcomes.

Firebirds opening Peachtree Corners location on Jan. 14

By Curt Yeomans

curt.yeomans @gwinnettdailypost.com

Firebirds Wood Fired Grill is one week away from landing at the Peachtree Corners Town Center development.

While announcing two exclusive preview dates for invited guests, the restaurant revealed that it will open to the public Jan. 14. It’s one of several restaurants that will be opening at Peachtree Corners Town Center, a mixed-use public-private partnership project involving the city of Peachtree Corners, Fuqua Development and InLine Communities.

The restaurant will be located at 5215 Town Center Boulevard in Peachtree Corners and its posted hours include 11 a.m. to 10 p.m.

Sundays through Thursdays and 11 a.m. to 11 p.m.

Fridays and Saturdays.

•From Page 1A

The restaurant’s website, peachtree-corners.firebirdsrestaurants.com, describes its cuisine as American food, seafood and steaks with average prices, including entrees, drinks, taxes and tips, ranging from $15 to $18 for lunch and $28 to $32 for dinner.

The restaurant recommends diners get reservations for meals, although they are not required, and it describes the dress code as “smart casual.” There will be happy hour drink specials from 4 to 7 p.m.

Mondays through Fridays on the patio and in the FIREBAR. Other restaurants that are expected to open in the coming months at Peachtree Corners Town Center include First Watch and Marlow’s Tavern. A Cinebistro, among other restaurants, is also slated to eventually open at the development.

Homicide

and fast reason as to why the numbers have continued to increase the last several years, Gwinnett County Police Department spokesman Cpl. Wilbert Rundles said homicide supervisors believe “the direct involvement in drug and gang activity account for a portion of the increase in homicides during 2018.”

That involvement with drug and gang activity also might explain why the department has not cleared all of its homicides; 29 of 34, or 85 percent, have been cleared, compared to 100 percent last year.

“When a crime involves parties affiliated with the sale or use of narcotics, they are not as forthcoming with police (and) it makes it more difficult to get the needed information to identify a suspect,” Rundles said. “This is also true when involved parties have a gang affiliation.”

Still, 2018’s clearance rate is significantly higher than the nation’s and the South’s, which was 61.6 and 63.4 percent, respectively, in 2017, according to FBI statistics.

For the family and friends of the four men and one woman whose murders have not been cleared thus far this year, however, the numbers don’t mean much compared to the loss of their loved one.

Parents, spouses, siblings, children and grandchildren Just two weeks into the new year, on Jan. 14, 42-year-old Norcross resident Joseph Love — a father of eight — was gunned down inside an apartment on Rockbridge Court in unincorporated Norcross.

Another man was in the apartment at the time of the shooting and fled through a window, but is not a suspect in Love’s murder, which has yet to be solved.

Friends and family of the Norcross resident are still mourning his loss, previously telling news outlets that he “would give whatever he had to whoever.”

Love’s fiancée, Shunique Jones, said he had only recently proposed to her when he was murdered.

“I loved him so much and now I don’t know what I’m going to do without him,” Jones said at the time. “I’ll never find anyone like him.”

Only two months later, 44-year-old Miguel Osorio was shot and killed during a home invasion in his Lawrenceville house, which occurred mid-afternoon on a Sunday — March 18.

Police said at the time that two males wearing “construction attire” entered Osorio’s home with guns

and tied up Osorio, his wife, and his 19-year-old daughter.

In an attempt to protect his daughter and wife of 21 years, Osorio broke free, where he was then shot by the suspects.

He was left for dead in his house’s foyer in another case that has yet to be solved.

On Sunday, May 6, Nathan Jones, 27, and his wife were pulling into the driveway at their Buford home when several gunshots rang out, Jones’ wife told reporters.

When police arrived, they found the father of two dead, though have not yet named his killer.

He is survived by his wife and children, mother and step-father, grandmother and several siblings.

On Nov. 2, 49-year-old Lawrenceville resident Denise Bukart-Haynes’ fiance called 911 to report he had found Bukart-Haynes dead in her home.

There, police found Bukart-Haynes shot in the head with “no signs of forced entry to the residence.”

At the time, BukartHaynes’ cause of death was not ruled a homicide, though about a day later, detectives changed it to that classification.

Because of the investigation, no further information about the suspect has been released.

In the early morning hours of Dec. 12, Gwinnett police responded to a report of someone shot at the Homestay Suites in unincorporated Lilburn, where they found Darius Daniels, 28, of Snellville, dead.

The only description given of the suspects is that they were “four to five black males wearing all black with masks.”

Daniels’ family, who said he was a father of four, told reporters that he was in the wrong place at the wrong time — a victim of mistaken identity.

They said Daniels’ friend lives in the ground floor unit where the Snellville resident was killed, and that Daniels was visiting with him when the gunmen showed up.

Loved ones believe Daniels resembled the man the gunmen were looking for and shot him by mistake.

Police have not released any additional information regarding the 28-year-old’s killers.

Anyone with information about these cases is asked to contact Gwinnett police detectives at 770-513-5300. To remain anonymous, tipsters can contact Crime Stoppers at 404-577-TIPS (8477) or visit crimestoppersatlanta. org. All of the cases have a reward of up to $2,000 for information leading to an arrest and indictment.

position and years of service,” he said. “Stevens, however, betrayed that trust for material possessions.”

During her trial at the state level, Assistant Attorney General Blair McGowan asked that Stevens be sentenced to eight years in prison followed by 12 years on probation.

Sevens was represented by defense attorney Mario Ninfo, who countered McGowan’s sentence request, asking for a six-year probation sentence. He also asked that Stevens serve her first 30 days in the DeKalb County jail, and the first two years on home confinement so she could care for her sons.

But DeKalb County Superior Court Judge Clarence Seeliger said at the time that Stevens’ 21 years of honorable service in law enforcement offset the harm she caused by charging the GBI more than $60,000 for personal items, and sentenced her to 10 years on probation.

Her probation will end when she repays the $60,268.04 she fraudulently charged and completes 200 hours of community service. Seeliger’s sentence allowed her to retain her full retirement benefits from the state and does not automatically revoke her law enforcement certification.

Still, given the federal charges, Stevens is not necessarily off the hook.

“Sandra Stevens took an oath to uphold the laws of the state of Georgia,” said Interim GBI Director Scott Dutton. “Instead, she violated the public’s trust when she defrauded the government for personal gain. Public corruption will not be tolerated in Georgia and the GBI remains committed to working with our federal partners in these types of investigations.”

Lawrenceville

Elaine Martin (Sims) Elaine Sims Martin was born on November 13, 1920, in Lawrenceville, Georgia, to William Joseph and Susie Dunagan Sims. She had one older sister, Elizabeth, and together they grew up on their family’s farm just outside of Lawrenceville.

Elaine’s father passed away when Elaine was 14, at which time her mother became Lawrenceville’s first post-mistress. Elaine attended the First Baptist Church of Lawrenceville and graduated from Lawrenceville High School in 1936. Soon after graduating, Elaine accepted a position as secretary for an accounting firm in downtown Atlanta. In 1954, she and lifelong Lawrenceville resident and WWII veteran Samuel Allen Martin, Jr., were married in Lawrenceville.

In 1958, their first son, Samuel Allen Martin III, was born, followed three years later by their second son, William Joseph Martin. In 1961, the family moved to Tachikawa Air Base in Japan, where her husband Sam, Jr. served as squadron commander.

The family moved from there to assignments in California and Florida.

When the Vietnam War began and Sam, Jr., was sent there to fly, Elaine returned home with their children to Lawrenceville.

Sam, Jr., completed his combat tour and returned to his family, eventually retiring from the Air Force following 33 years of service and returning the family home to Lawrenceville. Throughout their marriage, Sam and Elaine were active members of the Lawrenceville First United Methodist Church, where Elaine led numerous women’s group studies and prayer groups.

Elaine eventually became a beloved member of the church’s “Joy Class,” which she attended as long as physically able. One year after the death of her husband, Sam, Jr., in 2014, Elaine moved to Naples, Florida where her oldest s

Braselton seeks firm to develop park plan

By Curt Yeomans

curt.yeomans @gwinnettdailypost.com

Braselton officials are planning to put a new community park on 71 acres of land that the city owns on Ga. Highway 124 at the Mulberry River, according to a document posted Friday.

The city issued a request for qualifications asking firms interested in developing the park’s master plan to submit information about themselves to City Manager Jennifer Scott. Firms have until 2 p.m. Feb. 8 to respond to the request, which is posted on the city’s website at bit.ly/2SAsK2l.

“Most of the land lies within the flood plain of the Mulberry River,” officials wrote in the request for qualifications. “The site has never been developed and is currently in a natural state.”

The documents show the park will be located on the south side of Ga. 124 and on the west side of Mulberry River, meaning it’s sandwiched between Kichler Lighting and the Braselton Sewage Treatment Plant.

Firms are being told to anticipate $1 million being available for construction and equipping of the park.

Some features that the request for qualifications shows the park may have, depending on budget constraints, include a paved walking trail, bike trail, dog park, picnic pavilion, pedestrian bridges, restroom facilities, interactive water feature, benches, playground equipment, a continuous water course in the shape of the city’s “B” logo, an open field, parking, interpretive signs and natural foot paths along the Mulberry River, leading up to Ga. 124’s bridge over the river.

A 47-year-old Lilburn man died following a twocar wreck on Lawrenceville Highway in Tucker late Thursday morning.

According to Gwinnett County Police Department Accident Investigation Unit investigators, around 11 a.m., an 18-year-old Tucker resident was driving a grey Toyota Camry west on Lawrenceville Highway toward Lilburn when he entered the center turn lane to make a left turn onto Braxton Place.

As the teen was making his left turn, he hit the driver’s side of a white Chevrolet Impala, which was being driven by Angus Reid.

Both drivers were taken to a local hospital, where Reid was treated for life-

Man charged with abandoning dog on road

By Isabel Hughes

isabel.hughes @gwinnettdailypost.com

A Stone Mountain man who told police he was trying to get rid of his dog because it “doesn’t listen” spent his New Year’s Eve in jail after being arrested for abandonment of a dog, reckless conduct and several other charges.

About 11:30 p.m. Sunday, two Gwinnett County Police Department officers saw a car that had been stopped

on the side of Breckinridge Boulevard in unincorporated Duluth “quickly” Michael driving Sanders away, and noticed a small dog running after the car, according to department spokeswoman Cpl. Michele Pihera.

“As the dog was running behind the vehicle trying to keep up, the officers pulled

measure yourself in

other ways

over the vehicle,” Pihera said.

“The driver stepped out and had the dog’s collar in his hand.”

As the driver, 27-year-old Michael Sanders, was talking with officers, the dog, whose name is Prince, caught up to the trio and sat down near Sanders.

“He doesn’t want to go away,” Sanders is heard on a police body camera recording saying to one officer as Prince sat down. “I mean, I want to keep him, but I don’t know. Now he wants to listen, but I don’t want to keep him with me if he doesn’t listen.”

The officer responded to Sanders, saying: “There are much, much different solutions than this.”

After additional dialogue between Sanders and the officer, Sanders told the officer he was in the process of moving but that Prince “doesn’t want to listen” and “poops around the house and stuff like that.”

“I came out here to see if (Prince) would just go away, like just on his own, but he doesn’t want to seem to want to go on his own,” Sanders said to a second officer.

“The problem with that?

That’s abandonment of an animal,” the officer replied to Sanders, who said Prince was a stray. “You can’t do that. All you gotta do is go down to Gwinnett County, they have an animal shelter, and say, ‘Hey, I found this dog, here you go,’ and they take him. It’s that easy — you don’t just leave him on the side of the road where

he’s going to get run over and cause an accident.”

Sanders told the officer the side of the road is “where I found (Prince),” and that he “bought him food and doesn’t really eat the food but is pooping and stuff.”

“Like I said, he’s sitting (now) I guess because he doesn’t want to go, and I see that, and that’s why I say it’s just kind of sad,” Sanders said. “Now it’s kind of like sad, so I really don’t want to just leave him like that.”

Officers didn’t leave Prince like that, however, and took him to the Gwinnett animal shelter, where he now has an adoption hold on him.

Once the mandatory waiting period expires, the new owner can bring Prince home.

Sanders, meanwhile, was taken to the jail on charges of abandonment of a dog, reckless conduct, no headlights, tag required and violation of the Georgia leash law.

Sgt. Justin Richey, the officers’ supervisors, said the dog likely would have died if left on the road.

“Since the abandoned dog was dropped off on a major roadway, it is doubtful that the dog would have survived whether it was hit by a car, starved, or succumbed to the weather,” Richey said.

The Gwinnett County Police Department wants residents to know its officers are not calling people and demanding money to avoid being arrested.

The department issued an alert Thursday about a scam in which someone is calling people and claiming to be a Gwinnett police officer and insisting that they will arrest the victim if he or she doesn’t pay them via prepaid debit card, gift cards, wire transfers, cash sent via FedEx or other courier or in the cryptocurrency bitcoin.

“The callers identify themselves as a police officer, usually using the name of a real officer obtained from the internet,” said Sgt. Jake Smith, whose own name has been used by scammers.

Smith said the scam is a variation on one that scammers have used in which they call residents claiming that they owe back taxes, that a relative has been arrested and bail money is needed, that a utility or service is about to be cut off, that they will be deported

unless a payment is made, that immediate payment is needed for an outstanding warrant or ticket to avoid arrest, or that a lottery has been won or a loan preapproved.

“Scammers are using a computer program to make caller ID show a legitimate agency’s phone number, or any other number they want, which makes the scam more believable,” Smith said. “The Gwinnett County Police Department will never ask for payment of any sort over the phone.”

Some tips that Smith said residents should follow to avoid being scammed include: • Treating anyone who calls and demands payment with suspicion; • Requesting the caller identify himself or herself and then contact the agency he or she claims to be from to independently verify the caller’s identity; • Not providing personal or financial information to people who contact the resident via an unsolicited call or email; and • Not wiring money or numbers for bank accounts or financial transaction cards to strangers.

Parkview grad Josh Wolff will be new U.S. Men’s National Team head coach Gregg Berhalter’s top assistant, according to a report from Yahoo Sports.

Wolff has worked as an assistant for Berhalter since 2014 with Major League Soccer’s Columbus Crew. The Gwinnett native’s coaching career also includes two seasons as an assistant with D.C. United. His name has been prominent in MLS head coaching searches in recent seasons.

Like Berhalter, Wolff has plenty of U.S. National Team experience. He played striker for the Americans in the 2002 and 2006 World Cups, racking up 52 caps from 1999-2008. He scored the first goal in the famous “Dos a Cero” victory over Mexico in sub-freezing temperatures during World Cup qualifying, and assisted the Americans’ first goal in another victory over the Mexicans in the 2002 World Cup, sending the team to the quarterfinals. He also played every minute of the six U.S. matches in the 2000 Olympics.

His long playing career featured 15 seasons of pro soccer, mostly in the MLS with the Chicago Fire and Kansas City Wizards. He helped the Fire to MLS Cup and U.S. Open Cup championships and finished his MLS career with 80 goals and 49 assists. He also played two seasons in Germany with 1860 Munich.

Wolff played college soccer for the South Carolina Gamecocks, then signed with MLS on a Nike Project 40 contract (now Generation Adidas).

Luck, Colts pound Texans Field Level Media Andrew Luck paced an efficient offense, and the visiting Indianapolis Colts continued their torrid play, defeating the Houston Texans 21-7 on Saturday in an AFC wild-card playoff game.

With the win, the sixthseeded Colts will face the top-seeded Kansas City Chiefs next Saturday at 4:35 p.m. ET at Arrowhead Stadium.

Luck finished 19 of 32 for 222 yards and two touchdowns as the Colts, who won nine of their last 10 regular-season games to clinch a playoff berth, earned their first postseason win since the 2014 divisional round. Indianapolis finished 9 of 14 on third downs, including 6 for 6 in the first half en route to a 21-0 lead.

That third-down prowess yielded three touchdowns over the opening four possessions, with the Colts’ third drive concluding in the red zone after Texans nose tackle Brandon Dunn picked off a pass deflected

•From Page 10A because an ongoing battle with cancer has weakened his immune system. The veteran coach started the Eagles’ program, racked up all those championships and built a national wrestling power.

He also played a big role in getting Collins Hill its new coach, recruiting him as part of the search committee.

“Coach Ramos has been awesome to us,” Ethridge said. “We were blessed to have him at our Kyle Maynard Duals (this season) He’s Collins Hill wrestling.

He’s one of the reasons why I’m standing here. To do that in front of him was great.”

The Eagles got their first county title of the day from Clint Gilbert (28-8), who won a 10-3 decision over Brookwood’s Vaughn Williams (25-8) at 126 pounds.

Elijah Griffin (36-8) followed with an exciting, 7-6 victory over Mountian View’s Drew Risley (33-7) at 132 pounds.

“We had a war at 32,” Ethridge said. “Elijah Griffin’s a scrappy kid, tough, physical. He wins in the last period. If you go into the third period with Elijah, he’s going to bring a lot to you.”

Lucas DeSilva (401) posted an impressive victory at 160, rolling up a 20-7 major decision over Brookwood’s David Hornsby (25-9). The junior was excited about the atmosphere, and about the Eagles being back on top of Gwinnett.

“It means a lot (to win the team title),” DeSilva said. “I love the inside rivalries. Us and Mountain View. Us and Buford.

Even little ones no one talks about like Shiloh and Norcross. We have such a great county with guys like Buford, Archer, us, Mountain View that have such great competitors and wrestlers. It’s a fun meet from the first round to the finals. It’s amazing.”

Collins Hill finished with championships in the two biggest weight classes.

North Carolina football recruit Tomari Fox (191) ended the meet with a speedy pin of Lanier’s Kyle Emerson (13-5) in 56 seconds.

That followed a gutsy effort from Collins Hill’s Cody Hutchison (21-5), who rallied for an 11-9 win over Brookwood’s Justin Oldknow (35-4) in the 220-pound finals. Hutchison separated his shoulder the previous weekend and wrestled with a large brace and pad on his shoulder.

“It feels great to win the team (title) because my

by defensive end J.J. Watt.

Trailing 14-0 early in the second quarter, the Texans managed only 4 yards on the ensuing possession before punting from their 19.

Luck, having already engineered scoring drives of 75 and 74 yards, briskly covered 65 yards in seven plays. That march culminated in a Dontrelle Inman 18-yard touchdown catch to make it 21-0 with 6:24 left in the half. A snap before the touchdown, Texans rookie safety Justin Reid separated tight end Eric Ebron from the ball in the end zone, momentarily preventing the Colts from taking a three-score lead.

The Texans were undone by mental miscues and an unexpectedly inaccurate showing from quarterback Deshaun Watson, who made his postseason debut. Watt and Whitney Mercilus were both flagged for neutralzone infractions on third down in the first half, enabling the Colts to convert on third-and-short on drives that ended in touchdowns: A Luck-to-Ebron 6-yard pass at the 10:32 mark of

the first, and a 2-yard run by Marlon Mack with 4:03 left in that quarter.

Mack rushed for 148 yards on 24 carries. T.Y. Hilton added five catches for 85 yards, including three receptions for 63 yards on the opening possession.

Indianapolis amassed 422 total yards and did not surrender a sack, as the Texans hit Luck just four times.

With Houston trailing 14-0, Watson misread the coverage on fourth down and tossed an interception to Colts cornerback Kenny Moore II, who undercut Ryan Griffin. It was one of three fourth-down failures

by Houston.

In the second half, following a rare penetration into Colts territory, Watson overthrew tight end Griffin to squander what was a golden scoring opportunity.

Watson finished 29-of-49 passing for 235 yards plus a 6-yard touchdown to Keke Coutee with 10:57 left to play. Coutee had 11 receptions for 110 yards, while All-Pro receiver DeAndre Hopkins recorded five catches for 37 yards.

“We beat Buford with a lot of state champs and they’re state champs in AAAAA. It lets us know we can win.”

Buford had six wrestlers in the finals and five won championships. The Wolves got rolling with wins in the three lightest weight classes, beginning when Nick Corday (32-7) edged Mountain View’s R.J.

152-pound final.

Host Mountain View had two county champions — from the same family. Garrett Spikes (33-3) handed Buford’s Blaine Bergey (38-1) his first loss of the season, pinning him at 1:12 of the 170-pound final. At 195, Harrison Spikes (31-1) was first after a 2-1 victory over Collins Hill’s Anthony Vinson (12-4).

Mill Creek had one county champion in 138-pounder Zach Fix (35-4), who scored an 8-2 decision over Peachtree Ridge’s Brandon Cade (25-5). Brookwood’s David Key (36-1) rolled up a 17-3 lead on Mountain View’s Luke Hennebaul (19-8) before finishing it with a pin at 3:27 to win the 182-pound championship medal.

The biggest trophy of the day went to Collins Hill, which now focuses on bigger goals, beginning with area duals next weekend.

“This was the first time we really had our full lineup together in an individual scenario and I thought we knocked it out of the park,” DeSilva said.

… They told me when I got there, ‘Whenever you get a (scoring) chance, just go ahead and take it.’ It took a couple of games to settle in, but I was definitely a little more comfortable (Saturday) night.”

Still, Vancouver made it an uphill struggle for the Swarm by netting the next two goals, first getting Bal’s third of the night at the 7:41 and another by Logan Schuss at the 13:41 mark to reclaim the lead at 8-6.

But that’s all the Warriors (1-3) would get the rest of the evening, thanks in no small part to 32 saves from goaltender Mike Poulin, plus some tighter defense in front of him.

The offense also got going late, with Miles Thompson netting a power-play goal with 6.1 seconds left in the third quarter to cut the Vancouver lead to one goal at 8-7, and Jordan MacIntosh leading a 2-on-1 break before beating Warriors netminder Aaron Bold to the short side to knot the game at 8-all 4:22 into the fourth quarter.

And just before the midway point of the final frame, Bomberry showed off his power by taking a pass from Matt Dunn, using a screen from Miles Thompson to cut towards the middle.

The 23-year-old Six Nations, Ont., native then fended off a Vancouver defender before beating Bold through the five-hole to put the Swarm up 9-8 with 7:46 to play.

“He’s really played well for us all year long, especially in these last few games,” Saban said of Jacobs. “Our offensive staff has done a really good job of utilizing his talents.”

Tagovailoa’s quarterback counterpart is the real X-factor in this matchup — true freshman Trevor Lawrence. Swinney inserted the former five-star recruit into the starting lineup in the fifth game of the season in part because of matchups like this.

Lawrence’s strong arm and ability to hit the deep ball potentially could loosen an Alabama defense in ways that former starter Kelly Bryant could not do last season against the Tide.

“He’s got a rare confidence and focus,” Swinney said of Lawrence. “Just has always been really locked in on himself and who he is and not worried about things he doesn’t control.”

Another Alabama allstar defensive front, led

by Outland Trophy winner Quinnen Williams, will try to rattle Lawrence, who has looked unflappable.

Part of that is because of his supporting cast, which includes all kinds of speed at receiver, including Tee Higgins and Justyn Ross, as well as running back Travis Etienne (1,572

yards, 8.27 per carry, 22 TDs). Clemson averages 44.3 points per game.

And Alabama can’t forget about Tigers senior Hunter Renfrow, who caught a touchdown pass from Deshaun Watson with one second left to beat Alabama 35-31 for the national title in January 2017. The Tide won 45-40 a year earlier, and Alabama controlled last season’s semifinal matchup, 24-6.

Clemson, as it was last week in a 30-3 win over Notre Dame, will be without junior defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence, a likely NFL first-round pick who is suspended after testing positive for a trace amount of a banned substance.

Alabama might be missing outside linebacker Christian Miller, who sustained a hamstring injury in the Dec. 29 Orange Bowl against the Sooners, a 45-34 Crimson Tide win.

As Round 4 of this heavyweight fight is set to begin, Swinney sees the difference potentially being “two or three plays.”

“I think both teams are kind of mirror images of each other — really good defenses, dynamic quarterbacks, very talented running backs and explosive skill, and just kind of built in the trenches,” Swinney said. “We’re so similar.”

Georgia basketball

No. 3 Tennessee dominates Georgia Field Level Media No. 3 Tennessee continued to serve notice that the Volunteers are a team to be reckoned with after throttling Georgia 96-50 in Saturday’s Southeastern Conference opener in Knoxville, Tenn.

Winners of eight straight, the Vols (12-1, 1-0) are off to their best start since 2007-08 and haven’t lost a game in Thompson-Boling Arena in their last 18 tries.

Georgia (8-5, 0-1) never had a chance.

Ahead 53-24 at the half, the Volunteers continued to pour it on the second.

Five players scored in double figures for the Vols, led by Jordan Bowden with 20 points, followed

by Grant Williams and Admiral Schofield with 18 each. Jordan Bone chipped in 11 and Kyle Alexander added a double-double (12 points, 14 rebounds) for Tennessee, which continues to show why it’s one of the nation’s best programs.

Tennessee’s only loss came on Nov. 23 to Kansas, but in the weeks that have passed, the Volunteers have topped then-No. 1 Gonzaga (76-73), Memphis (102-92) and Wake Forest (83-64).

Derek Ogbeide scored 17 points to lead the

Bulldogs, who shot just 32.1 percent from the field (17 of 53) and missed their first 15 3-pointers before freshman Amanze Ngumezi ended the skid with just over 10 minutes to play. No other Georgia player finished in double figures.

It was a tough day for a young Georgia squad under first-year coach Tom Crean, and the 50-point output established a season low.

The Bulldogs were overmatched in all phases, including on the boards as

the Volunteers outrebounded Georgia by a hefty 40-24 count.

The game seemingly was over at halftime.

A steal and a basket by Jordan Harris cut Tennessee’s early lead to 11-10, but the game got away shortly after that.

A 3-pointer by Schofield started an 18-2 run for the Volunteers, culminated by a brilliant finger roll by Jordan Bone that pushed the margin to 25-12.

Georgia simply couldn’t find any answers.

By the time the first half mercifully came to an end for Georgia, Tennessee already had three players in double-figures — Williams (15), Schofield (13) and Bowden (13) — and the Volunteers had shot 56.7 percent (17 of 30).

Meanwhile, the Bulldogs could manage only a 9-of27 effort from the field the first half, including 0-for-9 shooting from three-point range while being outrebounded by the more talented and experienced Vols, 17-10.

James Banks III broke out of a slump with 20 points to lead Georgia Tech to a 92-79 win over Wake Forest on Saturday in Atlanta in the Atlantic Coast Conference opener for both teams.

Banks, a junior transfer from Texas, was 9 for 11 from the field and added three rebounds, two assists and three blocks. Banks had scored only 12 points over his last two games.

He fell two points short of his career best set on Dec. 22 against Gardner-Webb.

Georgia Tech (9-5, 1-0) won its third straight ACC home opener under coach Josh Pastner. Wake Forest (7-6, 0-1) lost its conference opener for the fifth straight year.

The Yellow Jackets also got 16 points from Michael Devoe and 14 from Brandon Alston. Jose Alvarado added 13 points and seven assists.

The Demon Deacons got a career-high 28 points from Brandon Childress, who made a career-best seven of the team’s nine 3-point baskets. Jaylen Hoard had 19 points and eight rebounds and Chaundee Brown scored 10.

Georgia Tech never

trailed in the first half and led 33-28 at the break.

The Yellow Jackets closed the half by making six of their last eight shots and led by eight points with 56 seconds left, only to have Childress make a long 3-pointer with six seconds remaining.

Tech led by as many as 11 in the second half but was never able to bury the Demon Deacons.

Wake Forest trimmed the lead to three points

when Brown made backto-back layups to make it 49-46 with 11:27 left. But Tech scored eight straight, getting two baskets each from Alston — one on an underhanded shot on a desperation drive with the shot clock expiring — and Banks. That stretch restored Georgia Tech’s 11-point lead.

Wake Forest got as close as five points after Hoard’s three-point play, but Tech restored order on

a 3-pointer from Devoe and a layup from Evan Cole. Wake Forest never again got closer than eight points.

Georgia Tech leads Wake Forest 43-40 in the all-time series, including 30-9 in games played in Atlanta.

Wake Forest plays next on Tuesday at home against No. 1 Duke. Georgia Tech plays at home on Wednesday against No. 10 Virginia Tech.

world Tropical Storm Pabuk kills three in Thailand, now in Andaman Sea

Tropical Storm Pabuk has been downgraded to a depression and is moving into the Andaman Sea after claiming three lives as it swept across Thailand, Thai authorities said Saturday.

Two elderly people drowned in Nakhon Si Thammarat, and a third person died after his fishing boat capsized in Pattani, according to Thailand’s Department of Disaster Prevention and Mitigation.

The storm, which blew through outlying islands off Thailand’s eastern coast Friday before crossing mainland provinces, has now reached the Andaman Sea on the western side of the country, Thai Meteorological Department spokesman Phuwieng Prakhammintara told reporters.

world&nation Mulvaney: No shutdown progress

By Sophie Tatum CNN

Progress in talks to reopen the government remains at a standstill after Saturday’s meeting with Trump administration officials and congressional staff, acting White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney said Saturday.

Mulvaney told CNN’s Jake Tapper that they “did not make much progress” at the meeting, adding that he thought Democrats were “actually, in my mind, there to stall.”

“We didn’t make much progress at the meeting, which was surprising to me,” Mulvaney said. “I thought we had come in to talk about terms that we could agree on, places where we all agreed we should be spending more time, more attention, things we could do to improve our border security. And yet the opening line from one of the lead Democrat negotiators was that they were not there to talk about any agreement.”

Members of the Trump administration and congressional leaders have met several times since the government partially shut down two weeks ago, but prospects of the government opening anytime soon seem bleak as both sides appear reluc-

“Not knowing what he wanted, I assumed he was inquiring about classes.

“I asked how I could assist him and he stated that he was there for the lady. She insisted that she did not know him and tried to kidnap her.”

Ephraim said he asked the man to leave, but he stated he was not going anywhere. “He then tried to force himself further into the dojo, aggressively

pushing and swinging,” the instructor said.

“I then went into action defending myself and got him out of the dojo. Once outside he attempted to attack again and was dealt with accordingly.”

The suspect also tried to assault police officers before he was arrested, WSOC reports.

He was taken to the hospital with injuries. There’s no word on his condition at this point.

As Gwinnett’s bicentennial fades, Lawrenceville’s looms

BY CURT YEOMANS

curt.yeomans@gwinnettdailypost.com

A bicentennial is something that comes after a two hundred year wait, but while Gwinnett County just celebrated one, Lawrenceville residents only have to wait three years to do it all over again.

After a year of frequent talk about Gwinnett County’s 200th birthday culminated in a birthday party on Dec. 15, the city’s residents might think all of the bicentennial talk is over with.

They would be wrong to do so.

One bicentennial in Gwinnett has come and gone, but another one is on the horizon in the county seat. That’s because Lawrenceville — whose position as the county seat helps sets it apart from other Gwinnett cities — will celebrate its own bicentennial on Dec. 15, 2021.

“It was exciting to celebrate Gwinnett’s (bicentennial) and we’re looking forward to celebrating our own and folding Gwinnett County into that because of who we are,” Lawrenceville Community Development Director Lisa Sherman said.

“Being able to celebrate Gwinnett’s 200 years in this past year, and then in three years from now celebrating Lawrenceville’s 200 years of existence … I’m looking forward to it.”

Even though Lawrenceville’s bicentennial will happen three years after the county’s, the city’s 200th birthday will be a major milestone for the county and the broader metro Atlanta area.

The city is one of the metro area’s oldest cities and is believed by some to be the area’s oldest city, although that can depend on the definition used for metro Atlanta. Gainesville, the county seat for Hall County, which is counted as part of the Atlanta Then-Lawrenceville May or J.C.

(Photo: Gwinn ton ett Historical Society) That means Lawrenceville will likely be one of the first of a handful of towns in the area that will celebrate their bicentennials in the next five years.

Gwinnett County similarly wove a bicentennial theme into events throughout 2018, beginning actually on its 199th birthday on Dec. 15, 2017.

“We certainly want to proactively lead and do our part in programming and events that would celebrate the year, but one of the things that is the beauty of Lawrenceville is the nonprofit organizations and groups and entities that get involved and either partner with us on an event or (lead on an event),” Sherman said.

“The United Ebony Society is an example of that with the MLK parade. We work with them on road closures and police (but) they lead the city in celebrating that holiday and it’s incredible. It’s great.

We love that.”

As Gwinnett’s county seat and its oldest city, Lawrenceville’s history was a significant part of

the county’s bicentennial celebrations. There are several historic sites in the city, including the Lawrenceville Square and the county’s historic courthouse, the Isaac Adair House, the Lawrenceville Female Seminary and the

Hooper-Renwick School.

But the city’s history will have the spotlight all to itself in 2021.

“I hope that it will have the same theme as I had when I instigated the torch run, that we want to recognize the past and we want

to preserve where we are in the present, but then we want to look to the youth for the future,” Johnson said. “I hope that’s what we will continue themewise.”

Early history as the center of a farming community Lawrenceville was officially founded on Dec. 15, 1821, and named for Capt.

James Lawrence, a War of 1812 naval hero who died in battle and is attributed with giving the famous “Don’t give up the ship command” after he was mortally wounded.

In its early days, Lawrenceville and the rest of Gwinnett County was a largely agrarian community, and downtown was the place they came to buy and sell goods.

One of the lesser-known streets in the downtown area, Honest Alley, got its name in the city’s first century because people who bought and sold mules gathered there to do their business “in good faith,” according to the city’s online history.

A minor skirmish in the war between the states It avoided being the site of any major conflicts during the Battle of Atlanta, but there was a skirmish in the city in July 1864 when a Union brigade under the command of Col. Robert H.G. Minty came up from Loganville to seize sup-

Lawrenceville Female Seminary to Georgia Gwinnett College The city has also had a long history with education, dating back to the 1830s.

In 1838, the first home of the Lawrenceville Female Seminary opened on what is now South Perry Street. The Rev. John S. Wilson was elected to serve as the first president of the seminary’s board of trustees, according to a historic marker located outside the old seminary building.

“The seminary commenced operations on Sept. 24, 1838, with Miss Martha Wells serving as principal,” the historical marker states. “The original building having been destroyed by fire (in) The many courthouses about 1850, the present in Lawrenceville And then there was the Greek Revival structure, burning of the 1824 court- erected between 1853 and 1855, was used until house — and many of 1886.” the early county records The building eventucontained in it — in 1871. ally became home to the The general gist of the Masons, who used part of story goes that men who it for meetings for more were on trial at the time than a century.

by Brig. Gen. Kenner Garrard and it encountered a small Confederate cavalry force that it drove from town after a skirmish, according to a historical marker on the Lawrenceville Square.

But while the historic marker tells a brief synopsis of the skirmish, there probably isn’t much detail that can be gleaned from Minty himself. A Civil War group in Pennsylvania has transcribed his journal entries from that time and posted them on its website.

Minty made barely a mention of Lawrenceville in the journal, other than to say his men marched to the city.

Gwinnett couple wraps up 365 days of honoring holidays

By Trevor McNaboe

Corners, put that to the test in 2018 with their 365 days of holidays.

According to Hall, The People went back to work #365DaysOfHolidays, as it’s this week, and the holiday dubbed, started as someseason is behind us. But thing fun and exciting to do. what if every day was a However, it has transformed holiday? into a key part of their day.

Jyn Hall and Steve Keck, “We almost thought Day 93 of #365DaysOfHolidays was Pony Express Day and National Don’t Go to Work a couple from Peachtree about quitting at the end of Unless It’s Fun Day. (Special Photos) January because of the time commitment to it,” Hall said. “Going through some of the feedback we were receiving online, we decided to stick it out and it’s been great.”

Hall is an actress and producer, while Keck is starting his own business.

“It can be pretty hectic making sure that we get some of these photos done,” Keck said. “She’ll be taking meetings and I have work.

We’ve got a dog to look after, and with the sun going down earlier and earlier, we’ve really gotten a tight schedule for things.”

As the year has progressed, the couple has started doing more elaborate photos to keep themselves entertained.

On Day 36, also known as Monarch Butterfly Day, the couple began adding more humor to their pictures.

“The Monarch Butterfly day was one of the turning points for us,” Hall said. “We couldn’t find any Monarch butterflies, so we decided to improvise by wearing crowns, dressing up like monarchs and timing out the photo just right to have a stick of butter flying through it.”

From there, each day they set out with the goal of trevor.mcnaboe @gwinnettdailypost.com

bringing laughter and humor to those viewing their photos on Facebook and Instagram, both under the account of Jyn Hall.

While there are so many holidays that picking between them can be a challenge, the couple traditionally takes the photos the day of.

“It takes a long time with the editing and trying to get the photo right,” Keck said.

“Gathering the props and the idea normally is the tough.

It’s been a really fun process for us.”

Preparation for the photo at a minimum takes 30 minutes and can take up to two hours.

“It can be challenging because we’re both perfectionists and want to get the picture exactly right,” Hall said.

Keck said this challenge has also helped with their marriage.

“We’ve been married since 2003,” Keck said.

“This has allowed us to learn how to creatively collaborate and learn we have really strong opinions and sometimes need to give each other space.”

With a new year having arrived, Hall and Keck plan on taking time off from the daily posts.

“We’re thinking about maybe spending time with people as sort of a day-inthe-life kind of thing,” Keck said. “Obviously we won’t have time to post it every day, but I think it would be something cool to share with people that have been watching this throughout the year.”

Day 211 of #365DaysOfHolidays was World Snorkeling Day and Paperback Book Day.

GOOD NEWS FROM SCHOOLS

North Gwinnett DECA places first in regional competition

BY HEATHER DARENBERG Staff Correspondent

North Gwinnett High School DECA placed first in the region competition in December.

DECA is the national association for students and teachers of marketing, management and entrepreneurship. It is a co-curricular student organization, as DECA activities are designed to reinforce the subjects that are taught in the Marketing Pathway, according to the North Gwinnett DECA website. Through DECA, North Gwinnett High School students learn what it takes to be successful in marketing.

Throughout the fall semester, North Gwinnett DECA organized community service projects, including Paper with a Purpose, which collected boxes of tissues and rolls of toilet paper and paper towels for North Gwinnett Cooperative Ministries, and Zero-toFive Literacy.

Zero-to-Five Literacy is a project focused on closing the literacy gap between children from low-income households and their peers.

Research has shown that students from low-income households are exposed to 30 million fewer words than students from higher income households. In November, North Gwinnett DECA partnered with North Gwinnett Middle School to donate books and create promotional activities for the program.

“We are hoping that together with North Gwinnett Middle School and our community we can support the GCPS Book Mobiles by donating as many books as possible that will be given to children in Gwinnett County this summer,” said

North Gwinnett High School DECA received first place in the regional DECA competition in December.

Always, as we enter into a new year, I like to look back at the past year and reflect on the memories, especially the good ones.

One of the best memories and most enjoyable evenings we had happened in early November.

Of course, before I get to that, I must explain how it all began.

In 2018, Tink and I watched “The Waltons” from the first season to the last. We found it on a channel called INSP. Somewhere halfway through those seasons, we saw a commercial for an INSP-created show called “The Cowboy Way: Alabama.”

Tink loves all things cowboy. He even subscribes to a couple of cowboy magazines. And on the cover of my newest book, “Let Me Tell You Something,” he is wearing a cowboy suit, at 4 years old, that was a Christmas gift from his father’s friend, Mr. Walt Disney.

We were instantly interested in “The Cowboy Way: Alabama” so I wrote the channel’s publicist, Tara Brown, who sent me the first

to an eight-team playoff format.

Having eight teams would first of all allow the five conference champs — that’s the Power 5 conferences, for you Mountain West and Conference USA aficionados — to get their due and earn a berth.

This year, that would have meant we didn’t have to worry about leaving out Ohio State or Washington. They won their conference, so they get in, along with Alabama, Clemson and Oklahoma.

Next, the selection committee — because they need something to do, right? — could pick the three best teams that didn’t win a major conference. This year, based on regular-season performance, that would have been Notre Dame, Georgia and Central Florida.

(Added bonus: no more bogus national championship banners in Orlando.)

Then you seed them

one through eight and let them play if off. Viola! A true, honest-to-goodness playoff! That adds one more week to the season — perhaps during December, before Christmas, when the only game on TV is North Dakota State versus Vermont — brings in a ton more revenue, and — gasp! —gives us an actual champion.

I can’t imagine why anyone would object to such a sensible, guesswork-free solution — unless, maybe, some of the big dogs (not Dawgs) are afraid of a real tournament.

doubt, after watching last week’s bowl games, that the Buckeyes are the better team?

As for politics — well, how else to explain Notre Dame’s bid? Their participation in the playoff was the equivalent of the coach’s kid getting to play quarterback, ahead of more talented athletes.

When that happens in youth sports, we call it “politics.”

Same deal here. Notre Dame, after beating up on a weak schedule — arguably no better than Central Florida’s, which also didn’t deserve to be in the four-team bracket — made the cut solely because they were Notre Dame.

Folks, we can argue all day about who should have been in, and we probably still wouldn’t get it right. Neither, apparently, would the committee. There’s only one rational way to fix this thing, and that is to move

Ronda Rich couple of seasons, and we launched into watching it, instantly falling in love with the simplicity of the show and the humility of its stars.

Bubba Thompson, Cody Harris and Chris “Booger” Brown are young, handsome men who are trying to feed their wives and babies by adhering to the old, traditional cowboy ways — in South Alabama. The location adds an interesting twist. They raise cattle, curse the tribulations on counting for the weather to act right, trust in God, take their hats off when the flag is raised, ride horses, rope steers here and there, and count heavily on pickup trucks.

We have not missed an episode.

In early November, we were thrilled to be invited to have dinner with the guys, Tara, and network executives Craig Miller and Elizabeth Buraglio, in the picturesque town of Fairhope, Ala. We arrived 20 minutes early and were waiting to be seated when Tink looked across the room.

Like a little boy who’d just seen a hero, he grinned, then turned and whispered to me, “Look, baby. It’s a cowboy!”

There, across the restaurant, was Cody Harris, sitting alone, having arrived even earlier than we had. When we approached to introduce ourselves, he rose, took off his hat and offered his hand.

“Miss Ronda, Mr. John, it’s a pleasure to meet ya’.”

What a lovely evening it was. I sat in the midst of the cowboys and asked questions while Tink

chimed in with great enthusiasm as we discovered that these young men we cheer for on TV are just like their alter egos: they’re courteous, thoughtful, hard-working, Jesus-revering, Americaloving husbands and fathers. These farmers are helping feed our country even though it could lead them to half-starvation themselves since farming won’t make you rich. Or even comfortable.

Most memorable was when our food arrived.

“We gotta bless this food,” Cody said, grabbing the waiter and pulling him in. “You get over here with us and pray, too.” The waiter complied and dropped his head.

I’ve never seen anything like that happen. It was lovely.

I asked the blessing then we dove into more conversation and delicious, fresh seafood. As Tink engaged in energetic conversation with the cowboys, I laughed to myself, thinking of a conversation I’d overheard between Tink and his best friend in Los Angeles.

“We’re having dinner tomorrow night with Cody, Bubba and Booger,” he said, pausing a beat before continuing. “I bet you’ve never had dinner with anyone named Bubba or Booger.”

The answer to that, I gathered, was “no.”

Firmly.

We’re not the only ones who admire the three cowboys. They recently won an award as a fan favorite on cable television.

You can start your new year off with a dose of goodness by tuning into the premier of the fifth season of “The Cowboy Way: Alabama” on INSP at 8 p.m. Jan. 6.

Our hats — cowboy and otherwise — are off to them.

lifestyles It’s OK to admit you went Resolutions for the garden through bad circumstances When it comes to bad circumstances, there are two kinds of people: the people who want to prove they have it worse than other people and the people who will tell you others had it worse than they did.

I usually fall into the second group. Telling yourself other people have it worse is a way to feel better about a bad situation.

But there’s a downside: You never give yourself permission to feel your own pain.

I understand the impulse. Talking about how bad things went for you — in childhood or other circumstances — makes you feel like a victim.

It’s paralyzing. Telling yourself it could have been worse gives you confidence. It helps in the short term, but stuffing your feelings has longterm consequences.

In her book “Braving the Wilderness,” Brene Brown describes her painful high school experience not making the high school drill team, the Bearkadettes. It was something she wanted desperately, to be part of the glittering high kicking in-crowd. When she didn’t make it, she felt her athletic parents were “ashamed of me and for me.”

She had thought the Bearkadettes would deliver the holy grail of belonging.

She writes, “I would later hear through the grapevine that I was a solid dancer but not re-

A new year is upon us. Time flies by since it seems as though we were just beginning 2018. Many people make resolutions for the new year. The most common ones are to lose weight, get into better physical shape, and to improve the management of personal finances. The beginning of the new year is also an excellent time to make resolutions for your garden.

Here are some ideas: Proper pruning practices are essential to keeping landscape plants healthy and attractive. Unfortunately, many homeowners fail to utilize the correct pruning procedure — for example, many butcher crape myrtles, which stress the plant and make them more susceptible to pests.

When pruning them during the winter, remove branches that are crisscrossing each other, those that are growing inwards towards the center, and the seed heads. If you have large evergreen shrubs, such as hollies, wait until March to prune them severely. If heavily cut back now, the plants will be barren through the rest of the winter and are at increased risk for cold damage.

Plants that produce their blossoms on old wood, such as azaleas and forsythia, should be pruned after they bloom, to avoid removing the flowers. If they bloom on the new growth, such as crape myrtles, most roses and many fruit trees, can be pruned in the winter before they produce flowers. Coniferous plants,

Gardening in Gwinnett

Tim Daly such as junipers, Leyland cypress, and arborvitaes, should never be heavily pruned since they will not regenerate new growth from the old wood.

Utilize integrated pest management that employs a multitude of tactics that control pests.

Sanitation is the process of removing old flowers, fruits, leaves and branches that fall to the ground where they serve as a reservoir for insects and diseases. Cover barren soil with a one to three-inch layer of a fine textured organic mulch such as pine straw, pine bark or cypress mulch.

Have your soil tested through UGA Extension Gwinnett to ensure you apply the correct amount of fertilizer and adjust your soil’s pH. Excessive amounts of fertilizer can make plants more vulnerable to pests.

For example, many fungal diseases on lawn grasses increase if too much high nitrogen fertilizer is applied. Make sure you put the plants in the proper sites. For example, azaleas prefer part shade and will suffer in full sun, whereas roses need full sun and deteriorate in the shade. Also, the plant material should be adapted to our climate, USDA

Plant Hardiness Zone 7b.

Oleanders are shrubs that produce colorful flowers and are quite commonly planted along the Georgia Coast. However, they prefer zone 8, and our cold winters can damage or kill them.

Consider planting something new in your garden. Many unusual fruits and vegetables thrive in our area. Examples include Jerusalem artichokes, goji berries and Kiwi fruit grow in our climate. Many ornamental plants have unique characteristics. Many have colorful leaves, such as the coral bells or Heucheras, with varieties having dark purple, caramel and light green foliage. As mentioned in my article a couple of weeks ago, seed catalogs and websites offer many ideas on new and different plants that will enhance the beauty of your garden.

Consider making some resolutions for your garden for the new year. The UGA Extension Gwinnett 2019 annual plant sale is underway. Many excellent plants are available at affordable prices. Choices include blueberries, gardenias, ferns, goji berries, and many others. To obtain an order form, one can be downloaded from the Extension website at www.ugaextension.org/ gwinnett, or you can have one mailed to you by contacting the Extension office.
