Gov. race in national spotlight

for me. There are short-term benchmarks that we’ll hit along the way, but at the end of the day, the ultimate goal is to end homelessness in any and every way possible.

“That may sound a little, I don’t know, Utopian or fantasy land, but I feel like we have to keep that as the end result in order to keep our eye on the prize.”

The issue of homelessness is one that Gwinnett leaders are now working with the United Way, Primerica and the Gwinnett Chamber to solve.

Officially, the state count for the homeless population

If there was any question before this week’s Republican runoff about whether the party base could unify behind the winner this fall, the election results may have put any uncertainty to rest.

Secretary of State Brian Kemp decisively defeated Lt. Gov. Casey Cagle with 69.45 percent of votes cast in Tuesday’s runoff.

To put that in perspective, Nathan Deal got just 50.2 percent of the vote against Karen Handel in the 2010 Stacey Abrams Republican gubernatorial runoff — and Deal went on to be elected to two terms as governor.

“The party is unified,” said Mark Rountree, a political consultant and president of Landmark Communications. “It Brian was actually much less Kemp unified eight years ago when Karen Handel and Nathan Deal were in a runoff and Deal won the runoff. Those types of campaigns are really hard to unify because everybody can blame one thing — one thing is one percentage point.

“But there were so many things that were imploding for Cagle by the end of that campaign that you just can’t blame anything on Kemp.”

Now that the political parties have their nominees, the governor’s race has shaped up to be a match up that will likely be dominated by a Donald-Trump-backed Republican and a rising national star in the Democratic Party.

Kemp and Democrat Stacey Abrams aren’t the only gubernatorial candidates whose names will be on the general election ballots in November. Libertarian Ted Metz, independent candidate Larry E. Odom and write-in candidate Rod Mack will also be on the ballot.

Combatting homelessness

HomeFirst director aims to end transiency in newest role

BY CURT YEOMANS

curt.yeomans @gwinnettdailypost.com

Matt Elder has an ambitious but-easy-to-sum-up goal for what he and officials from Gwinnett County and the United Way want to accomplish: the eradication of homelessness in the county.

Elder recently left his role as executive director of Family Promise of Gwinnett County to fill the new HomeFirst Gwinnett director position that the county and the United Way teamed up to create. In his new role, Elder will coordinate efforts among several community groups.

They will help not only the people in Gwinnett who don’t have homes, but also those are “precariously housed,” meaning they are potentially one unexpected bill away from being

unable to pay their monthly rent or mortgage.

“The ultimate goal is very simple: It’s just to end homelessness,” Elder said. “There is nothing short of that, at least

Gwinnett Health System made nearly $1.5B in ’16

By IsaBel HugHes

isabel.hughes @gwinnettdailypost.com

Gwinnett Medical Center’s parent company, Gwinnett Health Systems, generated nearly $1.5 billion in revenue for the local and state economies in 2016, a recently released report by the Georgia Hospital Association found.

The association, the state’s largest hospital trade association, found that GHS had direct expenditures of $651.2

million in 2016, which, when combined with a Georgia output multiplier to hospital spending, pushes total economic output attributable from GHS to $1,498,319,155 for the year.

“We take pride in our ability to provide our community access to the best health care possible, support the education of new health care professionals and drive innovation in health care technology,” said Phil Wolfe, president and CEO of GMC. “We will continue

to create jobs, build new facilities and contribute to the enhancement of our community’s economic health.”

Gwinnett Medical has longstanding partnerships with a number of institutions including Gwinnett County Public Schools, Gwinnett Tech, Georgia Gwinnett College and Partnership Gwinnett, which the hospital said contributes to the county’s “sustained economic vitality.”

In 2016, GHS employed 5,737 people

throughout Lawrenceville and Georgia. The Georgia employment multiplier, which takes into account the ripple effect of direct hospital expenditures on the economy, such as medical supplies, durable medical equipment and pharmaceuticals, increases the total number of full-time jobs tied to the health system to 13,350.

“Gwinnett Medical Center is one of the most important economic engines in the northern metro area,” said Daniel Kaufman, president and

CEO of the Gwinnett Chamber of Commerce.

“Their contributions to Gwinnett County’s business and economic development have made a significant impact on our thriving community, and will continue to do so for years to come.”

The GHA report did not reflect recent expansions GMC has implemented, such as the: • Center for Cancer Care in Hamilton Mill, which is designed to provide patient-centered, personalized care to the

Gwinnett to hold ‘mimosas’ referendum in November

By Curt yeomans curt.yeomans @gwinnettdailypost.com

Gwinnett County voters will get to decide this fall whether they should be allowed to enjoy a mimosa or any other alcoholic beverage of their choice during the brunch period on Sundays.

County commissioners gave their blessing for a referendum, dealing with alcohol sales in unincorporated Gwinnett between 11 a.m.

and 12:30 p.m. Sundays, to be held on the November general election ballot.

State legislators gave local governments permission earlier this year to hold public referendums on allowing such sales. The legislation allowing the referendums has often been linked to brunches and the consumption of mimosas at restaurants.

“During the session this year, the General Assembly passed Senate Bill 17, which was known as ‘The Brunch

Bill,’” county attorney Van Stephens said. “It authorizes counties to issue a resolution requesting a referendum.

The process from there goes through the referendum process.

“If the referendum is approved by a majority of the electors of the county, then the referendum is approved and the matter would come back to the Board of Commissioners for an ordinance dealing with the Sunday sales.”

PRESS RELEASE ANNOUNCING A PROPOSED PROPERTY TAX INCREASE The City of Buford Board of Commissioners today announces its intention to increase the 2018 property taxes it will levy this year by 2.57 percent over the rollback millage rate.

Each year, the county board of tax assessors is required to review the assessed value for property tax purposes of taxable property in the county. When the trend of prices on properties that have recently sold in the county indicate there has been an increase in the fair market value of any specific property, the board of tax assessors is required by law to re-determine the value of such property and adjust the assessment. This is called a reassessment.

When the total digest of taxable property is prepared, Georgia law requires that a rollback millage rate must be computed that will produce the same total revenue on the current year’s digest that last year’s millage rate would have produced had no reassessments occurred.

The budget to be tentatively adopted by the City of Buford Board of Commissioners requires a millage rate higher than the rollback millage rate, therefore, before the City of Buford Board of Commissioners may finalize the tentative budget and set a final millage rate, Georgia law requires three public hearings to be held to allow the public an opportunity to express their opinions on the increase.

Jackson EMC recently honored several home builders in the state for constructing homes that are designed to be comfortable for residents as well as energy efficient.

The electricity provider rates homes that meet those design qualifications as “Right Choices homes,” and it recently handed out Right Choices homebuilder awards in categories such as Builder of the Year, Leadership and Community Spotlight. The awards program was launched last year.

“Right Choice is now 14 years old and stronger than it’s ever been,” Jackson EMC director of residential marketing Amy Bryan said in a statement. “This continued success is due in a large part to the commitment and belief in the program from the builders being recognized this year.”

The Builder of the Year and Leadership awards were handed out in diamond, platinum and gold classes. The classes are based on how well homes

NOTICE OF PROPERTY TAX INCREASE The City of Buford Board of Commissioners has tentatively adopted a millage rate which will require an increase in property taxes of 2.57 percent.

All concerned citizens are invited to the public hearings on this tax increase to be held at Buford City Hall, 2300 Buford Hwy, Buford, GA 30518, on July 16, 2018 at 7:00 pm.

Times and places of additional public hearings on this tax increase are at Buford City Hall, 2300 Buford Hwy, Buford, GA 30518 on August 6, 2018 at 10:00 am and 7:00 pm.

This tentative increase will result in a millage rate of 12.750 mills, an increase of .320 mills. Without this tentative tax increase, the millage rate will be no more than 12.430 mills. The proposed tax increase for a home with a fair market value of $225,000 is approximately $28.80 and the proposed tax increase for non-homestead property with a fair market value of $675,000 is approximately $86.40.

DEAR DR. ROACH: I am a 70-year-old woman in good health. I recently saw a neurologist about my almost daily migraines. I also noted a feeling across the top of my right foot (and partway around it) that feels like a slightly tight band. It doesn’t affect any part of my life.

During the examination, he noted an abnormal Babinski response. The big toe on my left foot went down, and the big toe on my right foot went up. He appeared concerned, but said we would follow up on it after my migraine was under control. When I returned a month later feeling somewhat better (after taking Depakote), he retested and said my responses were normal.

I wasn’t convinced, as he applied almost no pressure to the bottom of my foot at that time. I read that among the possible causes of an abnormal Babinski reflex are multiple sclerosis and Lou Gehrig’s disease, and I am concerned. Should I follow up with another neurologist?

— S.C. ANSWER: The Babinski reflex, also called the plantar response, is a physical examination tool used to evaluate possible damage to the parts of the brain responsible for control of movement. An abnormal response (your right-side response was the abnormal one) is not specific: There are several other really horrible neurological conditions that may have an abnormal response to the test (I don’t recommend looking them up). However, with no other symptoms of movement problems and a test result that is normal on repeat (you don’t need high pressure if the toe goes down on light pressure) makes me suspect that the first test result was misleading.

Dr. Roach regrets that he is unable to answer individual letters, but will incorporate them in the column whenever possible.

Broaden your outlook but not your budget. Gather information and learn all you can.

Prepare to bring about positive change and beneficial results will unfold next year. Put an end to lofty relationships that tend to cost a lot and give little in return. Set yourself up for success.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — Don’t live beyond your means trying to please someone who expects too much from you. Ease your stress by altering the way you live and how you handle your money.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Explore new places, and what you see and who you encounter will inspire you. A change to the way you live will lead to less stress and greater happiness.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — Put your energy to work for you and make the changes at home or to your lifestyle that are long overdue. If you want something, go after it.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — It’s OK to do things differently, as long as it doesn’t deplete your bank account.

Someone who offers a different take on life will inspire you to regroup and make changes.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — Communication will be your strong point.

Negotiate on your own behalf and you will come up a winner. Pose incentives to offset competitive offers. A day trip or meeting is favored.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19) — Watch what others say, do and offer. Don’t be afraid to initiate a change if it will help you outmaneuver someone trying to upset what you are trying to achieve.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — Don’t give away your secrets or let someone see your vulnerable side. Walk away from anyone who is a poor influence or who is likely to cost you emotionally or financially.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) — Use your persuasive talents to get the help you need. Money or a gift will come from an unusual source. A personal relationship will change the way you move forward.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) — Be careful who you get involved with. Offering help is admirable, but being taken advantage of is likely if you are too trusting of someone who is a smooth operator.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — A day trip will do you good. Visit a trusted friend and you’ll be offered good advice regarding a personal situation you face. Invest your time and money in yourself, not someone else.

Johnson files bills to boost digital data security U.S. Rep. Hank Johnson, D-Ga., filed two bills intended to improve a consumer’s privacy concerning mobile device applications and data collection this past week.

The bills are the Application Privacy, Protection and Security Act of 2018, also known as the APPS Act, and the DATA Act of 2018. Both bills have bipartisan support, Johnson’s office said.

The Application Privacy, ProtecHank Johnson tion and Security Act of 2018 is intended to increase a person’s privacy while using mobile device applications that access a person’s photos, contact lists, location, calender and text messages. If the bill becomes law, app designers would have to maintain privacy policies and would not be allowed to access any data without permission.

Apartment fire displaces 18 in Lawrenceville

Eighteen people were displaced when a fire tore through their Lawrenceville apartment building on Saturday.

Gwinnett firefighters responded shortly after 11:30 a.m. to The Oxford Apartment Homes, which is on Club Lakes Parkway,

where they found an active fire in a two-story, woodframed apartment building that has a total of 12 units, according to Justin Wilson, a spokesman for the department.

“Firefighters had heavy fire involvement in the attic on the left side of the structure,” Wilson said.

crews arrived on scene and completed evacuations with primary searches of the entire building.”

Wilson called the blaze “intense” and said firefighters were forced to transition to a defensive fire attack to get a knock down on the flames.

“Multiple hose lines and one ladder truck were operated to bring the fire under control,” he said. “Fire

crews were able to contain the fire to the left side of the structure and protect six units from damage. The blaze caused extensive fire damage to the attic space above three units. Six units on the left side of the building sustained moderate water and smoke damage.”

No one was injured in the blaze and a fire investigator was requested to respond to find the cause of

the blaze.

The investigator determined the fire originated in the attic over the left side of the building, though its cause is still undetermined and under investigation.

The American Red Cross was contacted to assist approximately 18 people who were displaced from the six units. One unit in the affected portion of the building was vacant.

A key issue is the availability of affordable housing, of which Gerstein said Gwinnett has little.

Elder said the average rent in Gwinnett, according to figures gathered by the U.S. Census Bureau, is $1,063 per month. He did not have data on the average monthly income readily available Friday.

The Census Bureau’s 2016 American Community Service pegged the mean annual household income in Gwinnett at about $80,034.

Gerstein said there is a balancing act between cost of housing versus the amount of money a person makes to keep in mind.

“The formula that’s supposed to work for households is you’re not supposed to spend more than 30 percent of your income on rent,” Gerstein said.

One of the major projects Elder is trying to get done initially is the creation of a comprehensive plan for addressing homelessness, which he hopes to have completed by the end of the year.

Another project he is focusing on is setting up a place that can serve multiple functions, including offering

a shelter, assistance services and assessments of a person or family’s needs. This place could also serve as a sort of clearing house that can point people to agencies and nonprofits that can help with their specific needs.

There are dozens of agencies and organizations in Gwinnett that deal with the homeless and poor, including groups such as Family Promise or Rainbow Village, faith-based organizations, cooperative ministries, the Salvation Army and the Partnership Against Domestic Violence.

Elder plans to work with each of those groups, pulling their resources together to create a unified road map for battling homelessness in the county.

Elder will also work with the Gwinnett Coalition when it does its biannual count of the county’s homelessness for the Department of Community Affairs in January.

“We have to be flexible, we have to be versatile, we have to be lean, mean and ready to adapt as things change, because if the system isn’t adaptable, then it has the potential to fail, and that’s the last thing anybody wants,” Elder said.

Elder and precariously housed residents. He led Family Promise, which operated the only homeless shelter in the county, for 16 months, leaving at the end of June.

He worked with Gwinnett County’s community development, affordable housing and homeless programs before that.

“I have the utmost confidence in Matt’s abilities and am so encouraged that he’s the one at the helm,” Gerstein said.

Earlier this month, United Way of Great Atlanta Chief Operating Officer Tim Pakenham said, “We are delighted to have the experience of Matt Elder to lead and help us serve the community with this all-important initiative in Gwinnett.”

Elder said a common misconception among the general public is that all homeless people are unemployed, but he said that’s not true at all.

“When I was at Family Promise, more than 60 percent of the families that we brought in had jobs when they came in; they simply didn’t have a job that paid them enough money hourly or full-time to afford to live in Gwinnett,” he said.

Suicide •From Page 1A and recovered bullet fragments match a gun and ammunition purchased by Mr. Ahmed in May 2018,” Smith said. “Dental records from Mr. Ahmed were not available to compare with the deceased person and the Medical Examiner’s Office is currently pursuing other avenues to confirm the deceased person’s identity.”

Those avenues include: reconstituting fingerprints from the body for comparison to prints that belong to Ahmed, or, if that doesn’t prove successful, DNA comparison.

Smith said although the body had only been in the lake a relatively short time, the extensive decomposition was due to wildlife, and it was “all consistent with a timeline that matches when Ahmed went missing.”

Surveillance video from the day Ahmed went missing shows him buying groceries before he left work around 9:15 p.m. He left the store with the groceries and put them in his car. He wasn’t seen again after leaving the store.

The following day, his car was found unlocked and abandoned in the grocery store parking lot off Atlanta Highway with the groceries still inside. The next night, the body was found.

“There is a significant amount of other circumstantial evidence which will not be disclosed at this time as the case is still under investigation,” Smith said. “The investigation is a cooperative effort between the Gwinnett County Police Department, the Loganville Police Department and the Gwinnett County Medical Examiner’s Office.”

Spotlight for campaign appearances as well, according to CNN. Booker and Harris have already visited Georgia this year to campaign for Abrams. The Democratic Party’s 2016 presidential nominee, Hillary Clinton, has also supported Abrams and did a robocall for her before the May 22 primary.

The Democratic Governor’s Association also sought to deflate some of the Kemp campaign’s euphoria hours before a Republican Unity Rally held in Peachtree Corners on Thursday.

The group sent out an email highlighting criticisms and allegations of incompetence that Cagle’s campaign had made about Kemp during the runoff. It also highlighted the fact that Deal endorsed the lieutenant governor instead of the secretary of state ahead of that election.

The Republican Governor’s Association hasn’t held

back from targeting Abrams though. It launched its first TV ad in Georgia on the day of the runoff, accusing Abrams of being “too liberal for Georgia.”

Kemp will have at least some Republicans from Trump’s circle of supporters in Washington, D.C., who can likely be counted on to campaign on his behalf this fall. It just so happens that two of them are U.S. Rep. David Perdue, R-Ga., and Secretary of Agriculture Sonny Perdue, who became Georgia’s first Republican governor since Reconstruction 16 years ago.

David Perdue already called on Republicans to rally around Kemp during the party’s Unity Rally. He called on the party faithful to send a message to Democrats that “the march to socialism will not go through the state of Georgia” in November.

Vice President Mike Pence appeared at a rally

held in Macon last weekend to rally Republican voters around Kemp.

Trump has come out swinging at Abrams as well on one of his favorite communications platforms: Twitter.

“Congratulations to Brian Kemp on your very big win in Georgia last night,” the president said in a tweet Wednesday morning. “Wow, 69-30, those are big numbers. Now go win against the open border, crime loving opponent that the Democrats have given you. She is weak on Vets, the Military and the 2nd Amendment. Win!” Trump’s support of Kemp, and the influence it had on rallying Republican voters, can’t be discounted. Kemp had started to move ahead of Cagle late in the runoff race, but Roundtree said polling showed him at about 48 percent, compared to 46 percent for Cagle.

Then the president en-

dorsed Kemp.

“We were in the field (doing polling for secretary of state candidate Brad Raffensperger) that night — it wasn’t planned it just worked out that way — (and Kemp) had jumped to a 59 percent lead,” Rountree said. “It was 59 to 37, if I’m remembering correctly, and it continued to go up that week.”

Despite the national attention, Rountree said the race may ultimately hinge on whether Georgia-specific issues or national issues win out over the other.

“I think Stacey cannot win in a state-level race on state-level issues,” Rountree said. “I think she’s going to try as much as she can to talk in national platitudes — platitudes on national issues — whereas I think you’ll find that the Kemp folks probably, because of his background, are going to be very heavily focused on state issues.”

Trump using tariffs for freetrade WASHINGTON — Give President Trump credit. When he chastised NATO allies over their failure to spend adequately on our common defense, his critics said he was endangering the Atlantic alliance. Instead, his tough stance persuaded allies to spend billions more on defense, strengthening NATO instead.

Now, Trump is doing the same on trade.

At the Group of Seven summit in Quebec, Trump was roundly criticized for publicly berating allies over their trade practices and provoking a needless trade war. Well, once again, it appears Trump is being proved right.

On Wednesday, he and European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker announced a ceasefire in their trade war and promised to seek the complete elimination of most trade barriers between the Marc United States and the Thiessen European Union. “We agreed today … to work together toward zero tariffs, zero nontariff barriers, and zero subsidies on non-auto industrial goods,” declared the two leaders in a joint statement.

Zero tariffs. Wednesday’s breakthrough with the European Union shows that, contrary to what his critics allege, Trump is not a protectionist; rather, he is using tariffs as a tool to advance a radical free-trade agenda.

In a little-noticed interview with Fox News’ Maria Bartiromo earlier this month, Trump revealed that during the G-7 summit he made a sweeping proposal. “I said, ‘I have an idea, everybody. I’ll guarantee you we’ll do it immediately. Nobody pay any more tax, everybody take down your barriers. No barriers, no tax. Everybody, are you all set?’ … You know what happened?

Everybody said, ‘Uh, can we get onto another subject?’” Trump offered to eliminate all trade barriers — and his supposedly pro-free-trade allies passed. Right before his meeting with Juncker this week, he repeated the offer, tweeting, “The European Union is coming to Washington tomorrow to negotiate a deal on Trade. I have an idea for them.

Both the U.S. and the E.U. drop all Tariffs, Barriers and Subsidies!”

Trump knows that most of our trading partners don’t really want free trade; they want managed trade, where they can get access to U.S. markets while protecting certain industries from U.S. competition. Trump’s strategy to get them to drop these protectionist barriers is to impose crushing tariffs. At a rally earlier this week, Trump explained his strategy for getting to zero tariffs. “You know, other countries have tariffs on us. So, when I say, ‘Well, I’m going to put tariffs on them,’ they all start screaming, ‘He’s using tariffs,’” Trump said. “I said (to the European Union), ‘You have to change.’ They didn’t want to change. I said, ‘Okay. Good.

We’re going to tariff your cars.’ … They said, ‘When can we show up? When can we be there?’ (Laughter.) ‘Would tomorrow be okay?’ Oh, folks, stick with us. Stick with us.”

Now Trump’s hard-line trade strategy is being vindicated. Not only is the E.U. negotiating zero tariffs, but also it agreed to immediately buy more American soybeans — which helps Trump in his trade battle with China. After Trump imposed tariffs on $34 billion worth of Chinese goods, China responded with retaliatory tariffs on U.S. products, including soybeans. Beijing knows that China is the single largest importer of U.S. soybeans, and that about 96 percent of U.S. soybeans are grown in 18 states — all but two of which voted for Trump in 2016.

Their tariffs left soybean farmers none too happy with Trump and gave a political boost to vulnerable Senate Democrats in soy-producing farm states such as Heidi Heitkamp, N.D.; Joe Donnelly, Ind.; and Claire McCaskill, Mo. Now, Trump has enlisted the European Union to help U.S. soybean farmers to counteract the repercussions of Chinese tariffs, in addition to the $12 billion in aid he has promised for U.S. farmers. That’s threedimensional trade chess.

Earlier this week, Trump tweeted, “Tariffs are the greatest! Either a country which has treated the United States unfairly on Trade negotiates a fair deal, or it gets hit with Tariffs. It’s as simple as that.” Well, maybe it is and maybe it isn’t. Trump is a long way from a final deal. And in trade, nothing is agreed to until everything is agreed to. But this is a surprisingly positive first step. If Trump succeeds in using trade wars to bring down European and Chinese trade barriers, he may end up being one of the greatest free-trade presidents in history.

Random thoughts on random topics Spoiler alert: A non-negotiable and finite deadline didn’’t allow me the opportunity to discuss the primary runoff results this week. That’s OK. We can talk about it next week.

Besides, Junior E. Lee, general manager of the Yarbrough Worldwide Media and Pest Control Company, located in Greater Garfield, is busy spraying Arvel Ridley’s barn for fleas and doesn’t have time right now. Junior is not only one of the nation’s most highly respected and astute political analysts, he is also a pest control professional. That is a rare combination. …

I don’t know a lot about soccer, but I am on a steep learning curve since I am told that Cameron Charles Yarbrough, who puts the “great” in great-grandson, is showing some proclivity for the sport.

I watched a bit of the World Cup recently, and while I didn’t understand a lot of the strategies, I was awed at the players’ skill to curve the ball like a boomerang while running at full speed. I was also struck by the black and white teammates on the winning French team standing arm-inarm and singing their national anthem, “La Marseillaise,” unlike the overpaid knee-jerks in the National Football League who disrespect theirs. …

With the popularity of the NFL waning and as more

Dick Yarbrough mommas discourage their kids from playing football lest they end up with mush brains as likely will many of the kneejerks, soccer is on the rise.

May we raise a generation of outstanding soccer players that will emulate the French in their national pride. …

Don’t look now but the University of Georgia, the oldest state-chartered university in the nation, located in Athens, the Classic City of the South, just announced that donors have contributed more than $1 billion to the Commit to Georgia Campaign, which has a goal of raising $1.2 billion by June 30, 2020, for additional scholarships to fund critical research and to further enhance the university’s learning environment. A billion dollars? I remember when we used to high-five over onetenth that amount. The place is on fire and much credit goes to UGA President Jere Moorhead for his quiet and effective leadership. …

It is hard to believe that it has been 22 years since the Centennial Olympic Games.

The Games were outstanding.

The city of Atlanta was not.

The city’s marketing director took the whole thing as a big joke, proposing to bounce ads off the moon and put billboards on stray dogs. The city government, indemnified from any tax liability, nonetheless set up an ambush marketing program courting Olympic sponsors’ competitors and established a traffic-clogging street vendor program that looked like a third-world country on steroids. The local media chose to nitpick us instead of holding the city’s inept feet to the fire lest they be labeled racist by a city administration that could make a racial issue out of a lima bean.

When the games were over, I took a two-by-four to the whole crowd in a guest editorial. That was the beginning of a 20-year run as the most widely syndicated columnist in Georgia. Thanks, guys. I couldn’t have done it without you. …

Kudos to Georgia’s senior senator, Johnny Isakson, for his fight against proposed tariffs by the Trump Administration on Canadian newsprint, which could severely cripple the newspaper industry by making newsprint insanely expensive. Isakson says,

“Local newspapers are a vital source of news and community information, especially in rural and small-town America.

Unfair or punitive action taken against producers of groundwood paper would threaten to put many Georgia newspapers out of business.” Virtually, the entire newspaper industry is opposing the import tax.

You should, too. No community is made better without a local newspaper. Thankfully, Johnny Isakson is on the case. …

Finally, Dr. Raymond Cook, an English literature professor who had a profound impact on an unfocused college freshman about to flunk out of school, turned 99 years old last week.

Dr. Cook lives in Valdosta, and while his body is a bit frail, his mind is as sharp as ever. I don’t want to overdramatize it, but I doubt I would be where I am today and doing what I am doing had I not crossed his path those many years ago.

It is a reminder to our public schoolteachers that while our politicians try to undermine you at every level, you are making a difference in some young person’s life. Please don’t give up.

Socialism appeals to younger generation For the current generation, sometimes referred to as millennials, it appears one thing is more seductive than sex — and that’s socialism.

Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., and 28-year-old Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, winner of a New York Democratic primary, are the old and new faces of socialist America.

Their platforms, it appears, hinge on the concept of shared wealth, in other words, handing out free stuff to just about everyone. How far we’ve come from JFK’s admonition not to ask what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country.

Today, for many, it’s all about what you should expect from your country with little or no reciprocity.

It is undeniable that capitalism has raised more boats than socialism has sunk. Yet, socialism’s appeal continues, despite historical and contemporary evidence that it delivers a bad deal for those who embrace it.

In an article for Reason magazine last May, Steve Chapman, a columnist and editorial writer for the Chicago Tribune, referenced a University of Chicago GenForward Survey of Americans ages 18

The first is achieved by the hard work, that it’s likely most of those blood, sweat and tears (which who favor socialism have they think is the name of an

old rock group) of others.

Socialism stifles incentive and makes people dependent on government, not themselves, which appears to be the liberal ideal. Some would rather get a check than earn one. Look at the TV ads advertising toll-free numbers, free shipping and other free incentives, which are not free at all. Their cost is simply added to the product you purchase.

Socialism is little more than mutually shared poverty, a version of “spreading the wealth around” with government taking from the productive and giving to the nonproductive. It is an economic philosophy closely associated with communism.

Do Democrats really want to embrace socialism heading into the next two elections? If so, they can expect the same defeats they have suffered in the past — think George McGovern and Walter Mondale.

Each thought the American people were taxed too little and that big government was the answer.

It isn’t, and it never will be.

The Lilburn Police Department will soon host its ninth National Night Out event, an annual community-building campaign that promotes police-community partnerships and neighborhood camaraderie.

National Night Out, a yearlong community building campaign that is held on the first Tuesday in August each year, is intended to heighten crime prevention awareness, generate support for, and participation in, local anti-crime programs, strengthen neighborhood spirit and police-community partnerships and send a message to criminals to warn them that neighborhoods are organized and fighting back.

Each year, about 38 million people in more than 16,000 communities across the U.S. and Canada come together to celebrate the event.

“National Night Out helps build strong partnerships between the police and the community,” said Lilburn Police Chief Bruce Hedley.

“We’re excited to bring this year’s National Night Out event to Plaza Las Ameri-

Hobby Lobby joins more than 20 other retail, dining and entertainment businesses located in the shopping center, which is on the northeast side of the Buford Drive and Interstate 85 interchange.

“Our ongoing reinvestment in Mall of Georgia Crossing demonstrates our commitment to the Buford community and further solidifies the center as the desirable place to locate for both national retailers and local businesses,” said Kevin Sims, the senior vice president of development for Washington Prime Group, the parent company of Mall of Georgia Crossing, in a statement.

During robotic procedures, the surgeon operates joystick-like controllers, which translate, in real-time, to tiny movements by the robotic, which is positioned over the patient and has the actual surgical instruments attached.

Not only do the robots allow surgeons to make tiny movements that would likely be impossible with even the smallest human hand, but their cameras also allow surgeons to see a complete picture of a person’s insides and all the organs they are working with.

annual report received the Communication Award of Excellence.

Chamber officials particularly highlighted Richardson’s accomplishment in getting into the Million Dollar Circle. It’s an elite club in which less than a handful of people around the country have earned a place.

“Sandy’s achievements over the past 11 years have been remarkable, earning her the Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum and now Million Dollar Circle status with ACCE,” Senior Vice President of Membership Services Vince DeSilva said in a statement. “She is a great asset to our members as well as our community.”

Richardson has been involved with the chamber for 15 years, including four as a member while she worked in the mortgage industry. For the last 11 years, she has been a member of the chamber’s membership services team.

“I wanted to mentor other businesses on how to build relationships and take advantage of all that the Chamber had to offer,” Richardson said in a statement. “I love that every day is fresh and exciting, and I have the ability to help and connect so many people in so many different industries.”

Buford store set to offer RadioShack express concept While RadioShack stores are no longer around in Gwinnett, local shoppers will be able to purchase the company’s products again in Buford.

The toy retailer, HobbyTown, announced it will offer a RadioShack Express in its new Buford store. The store within a store concept will allow HobbyTown to sell RadioShack branded electronics to customers at the shop, which is located at 4125 Ga. Highway 20. It is one of 50 HobbyTown franchise locations across the country that will offer the concept.

“Our strategy today is

to not own bricks-andmortar locations, but support our authorized dealers with our online presence and distribution center,” said Steve Moroneso, who is chief executive of General Wireless, which is an affiliate of Standard General, the hedge fund that purchased RadioShack three years ago.

RadioShack products that will be sold at HobbyTown include radio control and STEM learning products. The toy retailer plans to eventually offer the RadioShack Express concept to more than 100 stores.

“This will expand the RadioShack footprint quickly and enhance the product selection and services offered at HobbyTown locations” HobbyTown President Bob Wilke said of the concept.

world&nation world Egypt sentences 75 to death over 2013 demonstration An Egyptian court Saturday sentenced 75 people to death for participating in a 2013 demonstration in support of then-President Mohamed Morsy, and referred their cases to the country’s Grand Mufti for a final decision, according to state-run news agency Ahram Online.

The defendants, which included members of the Muslim Brotherhood, were arrested and tried for participating in a sit-in at Rabaa al-Adawiya and al-Nahda squares in Cairo, to protest the removal of Morsy, a former Brotherhood leader and the country’s first democratically elected president.

The monthlong protest culminated in mass violence, when Egyptian security forces — under the command of now-President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi — attempted to clear thousands of demonstrators by using automatic weapons, armored personnel carriers and military bulldozers.

Deadly Calif. fire doubles in size

By Nicole Chavez, Paul Vercammen and Ray Sanchez CNN

Northern California’s deadly Carr Fire nearly doubled in size to 80,906 acres Saturday as authorities searched for a woman and two young children who went missing when the wildfire roared through the city of Redding and forced thousands to flee.

The rapidly spreading fire — fueled by soaring temperatures, erratic winds, dry air and heavy vegetation — scorched more than 32,000 acres overnight and was only 5 percent contained, according to the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection, known as Cal Fire. It has already claimed at least two lives, destroyed 500 structures and threatened thousands more.

“Honey, you should come home quick.

warming of the planet is easiest to observe by measuring across global temperatures.

The cause of that climate change is the trapping of greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide in the Earth’s atmosphere. That phenomenon, exacerbated by human industrialization, traps heat in the oceans and on land and raises the temperature of the entire globe.

Data from NOAA shows

that the first half of 2018 was characterized by warmer to much-warmer-than-average conditions across the Earth’s land and ocean surfaces.

Record heat was seen over parts of the Mediterranean Sea, New Zealand and areas across North America, Asia and Australia. At the other end of the climate spectrum, no land or ocean areas had record cold temperatures in that same January to June period.

GWINNETT TECHNICAL COLLEGE

Forum held to address education challenges

BY TREVOR MCNABOE trevor.mcnaboe @gwinnettdailypost.com

Educators, community leaders and concerned residents met Friday morning at Gwinnett Technical

College to discuss current and future problems facing students in their quests for postsecondary education.

The event, hosted by The Georgia Center of Opportunity and Community Foundation for Northeast

Georgia, discussed postsecondary dropout rate, financial issues and providing community support to help individuals overcome barriers.

One of the main questions organizers asked was

whether finishing college was important, which Georgia Center of Opportunity President Randy Hicks answered with a story about Brittany Boulware, a Macon native and current teacher at Pinckneyville

The Heart Center of

Middle School in the Norcross school cluster.

“She was at Georgia State University but her college career was marred by personal events with her family,” Hicks said.

“She dropped out and went to Macon to care for her mother. The odds were stacked against her, and research says the chance of graduating goes down significantly.”

Hicks said she re-enrolled, but in her second to last semester at the school, she was dropped from her courses due to thousands of dollars of debt.

But she was resilient and sat in on classes until she found a way to pay for them, with the Panther Retention Grant.

“She now teaches social studies to sixth-graders in Peachtree Corners,” Hicks said. “Brittany is an example of the person we want to discuss today.”

College tuition costs and taking college classes efficiently to minimize debt was a focal point in the discussion, which has become a nationwide conversation as tuition at both public and private universities continues to increase.

Julie Post, vice president of student affairs at Gwinnett Technical College, said 75 percent of the college’s students are on some form of financial aid.

“That means there are a lot of people that didn’t make it into the first class because they weren’t in that group,” Post said.

“Half of the students on financial aid have Pell Grants, while the other half take out loans.”

The Federal Pell Grant Program is a need-based grant to low-income undergraduate and certain postbaccalaureate students to promote access to postsecondary education.

Some of the factors that go into determining a Pell grant are a student’s expected family contribution, the cost of attendance, the

student’s enrollment status and whether the student attends for a full academic year or less.

Post said 98 percent of students that graduate from the school get jobs when they leave, though the problem is often the same as Boulware’s — getting to graduation because of finances.

“I had a student on a full-ride scholarship that had $50 in fines and couldn’t register until it was paid,” said Anthony Flynn, a panelist for the discussion. “The student went home and sat out for a semester over 50 bucks.”

In addition to a conversation about students’ financial struggles, panelists focused on catering to students’ interests while they are in school, so they’re “not four years into school with and pointed toward the wrong degree and having to start over again,” panelist Kenita PierceLewis said.

“Having career development is important,” she said.

Another key topic panelists stressed was for audience members to be the change in their community, which was sparked by Susana Londono, who told panelists of her plight as an undocumented immigrant.

Londono, who has lived in Georgia for the past 16 years, said many people like herself face the issue of paying higher out-of-state tuition and having limited chances because they are not American citizens.

“We all fill out applications and if you get a spot, shouldn’t that be on merit, (not citizenship)?” Londono said. “A lot of students that learn about these issues give up and don’t see a way to pay for school.”

Flynn gave Londono a simple response: “Start the movement.

You be responsible for owning it. I challenge you to pick up the ball and run with it.”

Mountain View’s Hetherington ready to make bigger mark

By Will Hammock

will.hammock @gwinnettdailypost.com

Among the large crowds at the state high school championship meet, athletes in certain cross country uniforms stand out more than others.

group locally, Brookwood, Collins Hill, Mill Creek, North Gwinnett, Parkview and Peachtree Ridge have given Gwinnett County team state titles since 2000.

Runners at the Carrollton meet in the black and gold of Mountain View don’t quite have that kind of clout yet. With senior Chloe Hetherington at the forefront, the Bears hope to get there soon.

“It means everything to me to get (Mountain View recognition) because when I came in no one

really knew about Mountain View,” Hetherington said. “It’s funny because people at state on the sideline would say, ‘Who are they? What’s that team?’ Someone would say ‘Mountain View’ and they’d say, ‘Who?’ But we made it to state last year and we’re really going to go far this season with the talent coming in.

I’m really hoping I can lead this group of girls and unify the team to get better this season. I want us to have a great season and them to also keep im-

proving after I graduate.”

If Mountain View is to make a big jump at the state level, it will need Hetherington to lead the way.

She was one of the county’s top runners and also finished high at state last season, and she figures to be a bigger force this year with many of her past competitors having graduated and gone to college running programs.

Lindsey McDaniel said.

“I think she is going to be the runner that people are going to be chasing all season. She’s got this target on her back that she’s had on our team, but never countywide. It will be interesting to see how she handles that. Last year, she emerged as a top runner, but she was an unknown. This year, she doesn’t get that luxury anymore.”

Marsh was briefly teammates with another Gwinnett grad, Jahmai Jones, until the Wesleyan grad was bumped up from Inland Empire to the Mobile BayBears of the Double-A Southern League on July 10.

In Brief North Gwinnett DB Burrell commits to Tennessee football Tennessee dipped into Gwinnett County for another top high school football recruit Friday afternoon.

North Gwinnett defensive back Warren Burrell committed to the Volunteers over a long list of schools that had offered, including favorites Florida and North Carolina State. The 6-foot, 170-pound senior is ranked as the No. 53 player in Georgia and No. 44 nationally at cornerback by 247Sports.

Burrell played a pivotal role last season on the Bulldogs’ Class AAAAAAA state championship team.

He had 61 tackles, seven interceptions and 11 passes defensed as a junior.

New Tennessee head coach Jeremy Pruitt now has commitments from seven Class of 2019 recruits from Georgia. Burrell is the second from Gwinnett in that group, joining Grayson offensive tackle Wanya Morris.

Bears sign Central alum Jones Malachi Jones’ grind through pro football has resulted in an NFL contract.

The 24-year-old wide receiver began this season with the Gwinnett-based Atlanta Havoc of the American Arena League and then became the Arena Football League Rookie of the Year, showing enough that the Chicago Bears signed him Thursday.

Jones, who played high school football for Central Gwinnett and Wesleyan, follows the path of his older brother T.J., a standout receiver for the Detroit Lions, and his late father Andre, who played at Notre Dame and in the NFL. His younger brother Jahmai also is a professional athlete, one of the top prospects in the Los Angeles Angels organization.

The Bears’ deal was sparked by Jones’ big season with the AFL’s Albany Empire. He appeared in all 12 games for the Empire this season and led the AFL in receiving yards (1,156), receiving yards per game (96.3) and yards per catch (15.0).

Notes

on the move from Mobile up to the Salt Lake Bees, the Angels’ affiliate in the Triple-A Pacific Coast League.

It was the second promotion for Walsh, who started 2018 at Inland Empire.

He is hitting a combined .280 with 21 homers, 69 RBIs and a .921 OPS in 91 games for the year as of Wednesday.

The final Gwinnett grad recently on his way up the ladder is Seattle Mariners outfield prospect Kyle Lewis.

Fresh off his appearance in the All-Star Futures game July 15 in Washington, D.C., the Shiloh grad and former Mercer standout was promoted from the California League’s Modesto Nuts to the Double-A Arkansas Travelers this past Saturday.

Lewis had a successful Double-A debut, going 2-for-3 with a walk and an RBI in Arkansas’ 13-7 loss to the Springfield Cardinals, and his hitting .257 with five homers, 33 RBIs and 18 doubles in 52 games this season through Wednesday’s games.

Stewart looking for defense to bloom Having hit a combined 86 home runs in 421 minor league games over the past four seasons, it’s understandable why the Detroit Tigers’ organization sees Christin Stewart as one of its top power-hitting prospects.

However, the Providence Christian grad and 2011 Daily Post Co-Player of the Year knows that while his offense has been enough to gain favor with the Tigers brass, he must also work on his defense if he wants to not only earn a promotion to the majors, but also

make an impact once he gets there.

“You have to have a routine each day to get you completely ready to play that day,” Stewart, who is now an outfielder after playing behind the plate as a catcher in high school, told MiLB.com recently.

“If you are feeling good that day, maybe you will do a little bit more. But you have to work on everything.

You’ll always make time for things you have a passion in, and baseball is my passion. So I always try to make time for every part of my game.”

Stewart, who played college baseball at Tennessee, is hitting .255 with 16 homers and 53 RBIs in 83 games with the Toledo Mud Hens of the Triple-A International League this year as of Wednesday, and has three outfield assists in 74 games in Toledo this season.

Who else is hot?

Parkview grad and 2014 Daily Post Pitcher of the Year Mac Marshall (San Francisco) has a 2.74 ERA with 29 strikeouts in 23 innings in his last 10 outings, including three straight scoreless efforts, with the San Jose Giants of the California League …

Archer grad Curtis Terry (Texas) is hitting .400 with two homers and seven RBIs in his last 10 games for the Spokane Indians in the Northwest League …

Brookwood grad Cedric Mullins (Baltimore) is hitting .500 (8-for-16) in his last four games for the IL’s Norfolk Tides … Buford grad Jamie Ritchie (Houston) is also hitting .500 (6-for-12) with two homers and three RBIs in his last five games with the PCL’s Fresno Grizzlies.

Paths

•From Page 1B Wolverhampton FC’s U23 squad immediately after graduating.

Metcalf’s plan to go professional had a setback, but his ambition was still there.

“That’s when he started looking to go the college route,” he said. “I’d seen a few players go that route and turn professional, both back home and over here.”

Shannon learned he wouldn’t be offered a contract by Everton before he aged out. He and his family had a head start on the process of deciding where to continue his still-young soccer career.

“I went in early to ask Everton if I would get a professional contract, and it wasn’t the case,” Shannon said. “I had a few offers from other leagues, but nothing concrete or long-term. I kind of got together with my family and coaches and decided coming over to America was a good route — get a degree, and still have the aspiration to go professional. And it’s worked out. No regrets.”

Coming stateside Compared to how some of the careers of their academy counterparts have progressed, both Shannon and Metcalf are thankful for the route Clemson’s men’s soccer program paved to their respective professional careers.

Clemson’s associate head soccer coach Phil Jones is also a native of Liverpool.

Jones connected with then Brown University head coach Mike Noonan one year before Noonan was hired to be the head coach at Clemson. Noonan’s relationship with English and European soccer’s network helped link him with and eventually hire Jones. The two have been working together nine years, and they complement each other, Jones said.

Jones also grew up playing for a professionallyaffiliated academy, Wigan Athletic, and was denied the opportunity for a professional contract.

“I think me coming from that part of England and for Jack and Ollie, I think was something of comfort,” Jones said. “I had gone through the experience they had gone through — being part of a professional club in England, having that set back and that disappointment of not getting a professional contract — it’s devastating.”

While other colleges competed for Metcalf and Shannon, Clemson’s pitch was clear. Jones wanted to convey to both players their opportunities to become pros were still on the horizon, and that Clemson’s program could get them there. The patience of waiting four more years to go pro would benefit their careers more than the years of rapid trials for clubs throughout Europe.

“I think the way it’s set up in England, (the decision whether or not to go pro) comes a lot earlier than it does in the States,” Jones said. “Kids of that age develop at different times. I think Oliver and Jack just needed a little more time.”

Tiger years When Metcalf arrived as a freshman in 2010, Clemson was coming off an 8-1-13 season. He was part of Noonan and Jones’ first recruiting class.

He started all 16 of the matches he appeared in during his freshman season.

Clemson finished 5-4-11 overall. During his sophomore campaign, Metcalf’s efforts as a versatile defender helped lead Clemson to a 10-2-8 season and Atlantic Coast Conference quarterfinals finish in the 2011-12 season.

Metcalf graduated from Clemson after a thirdteam All-ACC season and signed with United Soccer

League’s Charlotte Independence.

“It was probably some of the best years of my life at Clemson,” he said. “Soccer-wise, I improved a lot and developed, but also just as much as a man. It taught me a lot about discipline and stuff that’s set me up for what I’m doing right now.”

Jones holds Metcalf partially responsible for the success the program would reap in the coming years.

“He was instrumental in the transition from Clemson making big strides early on to being a national powerhouse, like it’s been in the last five years,” Jones said.

Shannon’s career at Clemson began with optimism but was interrupted by tragedy. Shannon’s mother was diagnosed with a brain tumor early in his freshman season at Clemson. Shannon later said, after being drafted by Atlanta United, he instinctively wanted to return home. His mother urged him to stay and finish his degree. She died two years ago, and Shannon said she’s on his mind every day.

“During the recruiting process, Oliver and his mom and dad came to Clemson,” Jones said.

“I saw that firsthand, how close he was with his mom and dad. Family was very

5-1

ondeck 2B • SUNDAY, JULY 29, 2018

important to Oliver, and how he handled that was inspiring.”

Jones saw Shannon channel his heartbreak as he continued to train at Clemson. On the pitch, Shannon played a part in turning the Clemson men’s soccer program into a national contender. The Tigers won the ACC championship in 2014 when Shannon appeared in 18 matches with 14 starts in the midfield. The following year, Clemson advanced to the NCAA finals but lost to Stanford. Clemson qualified for the NCAA tournament in Shannon’s final two seasons and reached the ACC finals again when he was a junior. Shannon was co-captain during his final two seasons.

Clemson’s modest English pipeline began with Metcalf and continued with Shannon four years later.

They both made equallycrucial impacts at different stages of the program’s development, according to Jones.

“Jack came in when we were new to the program and helped lay a foundation of a successful program,” Jones said. “Ollie came in when that foundation was laid and helped create success at Clemson.”

Clemson’s sophomore forward Kimarni Smith, a native of Nottingham, is the

present-day continuation of that pipeline.

Welcome to Atlanta Shannon and Metcalf are now roommates.

The two bonded first over their common paths, then their love for English Premier League football.

“They have good banter, and the funny thing is they’re from different sides of the city, but they’re really close,” Atlanta United 2 head coach Scott Donnelly said.

The Merseyside Derby — the rivalry between Everton and Liverpool — is considered one of England professional soccer’s longest rivalries. The first match between the clubs was in 1894, and the two teams have played continuously since 1962. The all-time series favors Liverpool’s 92 victories.

“We have some backand-forth, and that’s always fun to joke about,” Metcalf said.

The two were together to watch Liverpool’s recent Champions League loss to Real Madrid.

“It was obviously difficult when (Liverpool) were going to the Champions League final,” Shannon said. “We watched the game together and I wasn’t too bitter for him. It was definitely nice watching (Liverpool goalkeeper Loris Karius) drop a couple of balls.”

Metcalf has played all over Atlanta United 2’s midfield and spare minutes in the back line during the club’s inaugural season as the team captain. Shannon typically plays his familiar spot in the holding midfield position. The two have combined for 2,830 minutes this season.

“We do have a lot in common,” Metcalf said.

“Obviously, we’ve had a pretty similar route, and it’s funny how we both ended up in Atlanta.”

Collins Hill’s Moore wins MVP at All-Star Game Field Level Media

Hard Impact

Martinez adds two more goals in win over Montreal Field Level Media Atlanta United stands atop the MLS following Saturday night’s 2-1 win on the road against the Montreal Impact, and one needs to look no further than Josef Martinez to see why.

Martinez, by far the leading goal scorer in MLS, scored twice to lead Atlanta to the win.

Atlanta (14-4-5, 47 points) kept its lead in the Eastern Conference, as well as the top mark overall in the MLS. Montreal (9-13-1, 28 points) saw its five-game home winning streak come to an end.

Atlanta led 1-0 at the half, and following a

one-hour weather delay at the half, United made it 2-0 with Martinez picking a garbage goal in the 57th minute.

Franco Escobar and Julian Gressel both used hard work to have solid chances in the Montreal box, but both shots were denied. However, the loose ball rolled to Martinez, who deflected it home for his second of the game.

Ignacio Piatti scored a late goal for Montreal to provide the final margin.

Martinez increased his season goal total to 24, easily the best in the league. It could be a season of historic proportions for Martinez as the goal moved him within

three of the MLS singleseason record of 27, done by three players.

With 11 games left to play, Martinez is on pace not just to set the record but to obliterate the mark.

Martinez made it 1-0 Atlanta in the 30th minute.

Hector Villalba took a long ball down the left side before hitting a cross into the middle.

Martinez made an adjustment with the ball in the area, creating some space before heading it home from eight yards out.

It was the ninth straight road goal for Martinez and the sixth straight game overall where he has scored.

Minnesota Lynx guard and Collins Hill grad Maya Moore scored 18 points, grabbed eight rebounds and distributed six assists while earning MVP honors in front of her hometown fans, and Team Parker held on for a 119-112 win over Team Delle Donne in the WNBA All-Star Game on Saturday afternoon at Target Center in Minneapolis.

Chicago Sky guard Allie Quigley added 18 points for Team Parker along with winning the league’s 3-point contest at halftime.

Skylar Diggins-Smith of the Dallas Wings finished with 17 points on 7-for-11 shooting.

Team Delle Donne was led by Washington Mystics guard Kristi Toliver, who scored a game-high 23 points. Las Vegas Aces rookie A’ja Wilson contributed 18 points in 17 minutes off the bench.

Moore won MVP honors for the third time, tying Lisa Leslie for most in WNBA All-Star Game history.

The teams were named

for captains Candace Parker, a 10-year veteran and Los Angeles Sparks forward, and Elena Delle Donne, a fifth-year center with the Washington Mystics. The league changed the format of this year’s game, abandoning the traditional East versus West format in exchange for captain picks.

The Target Center crowd delighted in seeing four All-Stars represented by the hometown Minnesota Lynx. Moore and forward Rebekkah Brunson (four points) played for Team Parker, while veteran guard Seimone Augustus (14 points) and forward Sylvia Fowles (two points) played for Team Delle Donne.

“It’s so cool just to see and to feel and to experience this right there,” Moore told ABC during an in-game interview.

“During the anthem, I was taking it all in and looking up, and there’s people all the way to the top. It’s just a really cool atmosphere, and to hear them scream for Seimone, who has been here the longest, it gave

me goose bumps.”

The game got off to an odd start. Team Parker won the opening tipoff, but guard Chelsea Gray and others were confused as to which basket they were scoring on. The mix-up did not cost any points.

Team Delle Donne led 54-50 at halftime. Wilson led all scorers with 12 points at the break.

Quigley won her second straight 3-point title at halftime. The two-time All-Star outlasted Las Vegas Aces guard Kayla McBride in a tiebreaker.

Before tipoff, WNBA president Lisa Borders announced next season’s AllStar Game will take place on the home court of the Aces, the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas. The Aces are in their first year in the desert after the franchise relocated from San Antonio before the start of the season.

“In Las Vegas, putting on a show is what we do, and next summer will be no different,” Aces president of basketball operations and head coach Bill Laimbeer said.

MLB NOTEBOOK

Happ to make debut, Pirates recall Meadows Field Level Media

The New York Yankees on Saturday added their newest acquisition, lefthanded starter J.A. Happ, to the active roster.

Happ, who the club also announced will wear No. 34, is scheduled to make his Yankees debut on Sunday.

New York acquired Happ from the Toronto Blue Jays on Thursday in exchange for utility infielder Brandon Drury and outfield prospect Billy McKinney.

Happ, 35, is viewed

by most as a rental for the Yankees, who have been looking to add to their rotation as they try to keep up with Boston in the American League East. The lefty is 10-6 with a 4.18 ERA this season, striking out 130 in 114 innings pitched. He was a first-time All-Star this season and is scheduled to become a free agent after the season.

• The Pittsburgh Pirates announced they placed first baseman Josh Bell (oblique strain) and outfielder Corey Dickerson (hamstring strain) on the

10-day disabled list and have called up utility man Jose Osuna and outfielder Austin Meadows from Triple-A Indianapolis.

Meadows, 23, shined in his first taste of the big leagues. The Pirates’ firstround pick from 2013 hit .298 with five home runs and 13 RBIs in 48 games with Pittsburgh earlier this season.

In 23 games with the Pirates this season, Osuna, 25, is batting .196 with two home runs, two doubles and seven RBIs. This is his fourth big league stint of the year.

Dream looking to extend win streak following All-Star break

By Taylor Denman taylor.denman @gwinnettdailypost.com

With its eight-game winning streak in danger during the second half against the Los Angeles Sparks on Tuesday, the Atlanta Dream clung within striking distance.

Atlanta tied the game 6060 to end the third quarter and trailed 67-66 with just more than seven minutes remaining. The Dream used a late run to out-score L.A. 2111 in the final quarter. Angel McCoughtry scored 15 of Atlanta’s first 21 points, and Brittney Sykes scored 13 points on 6-of-10 shooting off the bench.

The reigning WNBA Eastern Conference Player of the Week, Tiffany Haynes, finished with 12 points and five rebounds.

“I think we grind out no matter what. We’ve been down — even during this streak — a lot and we come back and win games,” Haynes said. “That’s the thing I will always say about us, that we never give up.”

The Dream are second in the WNBA standings at 16-9 during All-Star weekend.

In the team’s first season under Nicki Collen and her staff, the Dream already surpassed the 2017 win total of 12 games. Atlanta is 2.5 games behind league-leading Seattle Storm.

Atlanta’s defense has been consistent for the better part of the season. The Dream allow the third-fewest points per game (78.6) in the league to go with the third-fewest points per game in the WNBA. But during Atlanta’s run leading up to the All-Star

Break, Atlanta’s offense has carried the squad at times.

“I think there was no question our defense was ahead of our offense (at the beginning of the season),” Collen said. “I think during this winning streak, in July we’re averaging 88 points per game and getting much more balanced scoring.”

The Dream are led offensively by Hayes’ 17.2 points per game (averaging 28.1 minutes per game) and McCoughtry’s 16.5 points per game (averaging 27.9 minutes). But Collen said Atlanta’s offense during the winning streak has been affected by the balance of scorers throughout the lineup, such as Skyes’ 9.9 points per game, and rebounding efforts from players like Jessica Breland (8.3 per game).

Advanced metrics show Atlanta’s consistent defense has made its scoring output better.

“There’s a direct correlation between continuing to play good defense but really raising our offensive level,” Collen said.

Collen acknowledged Breland’s defensive impact, but added Elizabeth Williams has provided a lift as an offensive rebounder and improved her offensive efficiency rating. More of Atlanta’s tall players such as Imani McGee-Stafford have also improved their offensive ratings in their roles as depth pieces for Atlanta.

“I think we learned to trust the pass more,” Haynes said. “We knew everybody is packing the paint on us, so we’re working on having that great vision.”

While the All-Star break

is a welcomed relief from the regular season grind, it comes when Atlanta seemed to be at the peak of its regular season dominance.

Collen said players, coaches and WNBA front offices will welcome a few days off to recover physically and mentally.

Atlanta is the only team in the WNBA with three different individuals who have been named Eastern Conference Player of the Week — Haynes, Breland and McCoughtry.

The regular season resumes with home games Tuesday and Friday against the Washington Mystics and Chicago Sky, respectively.

There’s still plenty of room for teams to jockey for playoff position, since two wins separate Atlanta from No. 8 Connecticut in the league standings with nine games remaining.

“We built the team in the offseason to do this, but it just took time for them to figure each other out, what my expectations were and how I expect them to go about their business,” Collen said. “We’ve got a long ways to go. … We’ve got to continue to grind and go game-by-game and quarterby-quarter.

“Even (Tuesday against L.A.) I thought there were moments we didn’t do a good job of following the game plan, but I kept saying, ‘If we keep this close, our conditioning will win out.’”

Utilizing its deep rotation, Atlanta plans to continue to grind out wins leading to a potential playoff run, similar to the way it did against Los Angeles.

Mark

looked up to the Petits, Mary Kathryn Knott, (state champion) Elizabeth Funderburk (of Colquitt County), all of them,” Hetherington said. “They showed me hard work and how far it can get you. I did my best to keep up with them. I did my best at staying near them. It will be different this year with all those girls being gone. I really want to lead the pack in a lot of races this season.

“It will be a little tough building that mental toughness, running my own race and not saying I’m just going to keep up with them. I’ve been working on it for awhile. I believe I did improve a lot last year, and got a lot closer to them. I was even able to run side by side with them at some races, which was awesome. It was really exciting for me.

I actually got to talk to them at some meets and talk to them about how they train. It was really cool. They are all really nice.”

Hetherington gained ground on the majority of that pack last season and at the state meet was Gwinnett’s No. 2 finisher, trailing only Knott, the state runnerup. Earlier in the season, she finished fifth at area (behind Knott, Melkerson, Marisa Petit and Brookwood’s Reese Saddler) and fourth at county (behind English, Knott and Marisa Petit).

Competing with the county’s best last season was new for Hetherington, who didn’t begin running until track of her freshman season (she was a cheerleader her first fall of high school). At that point, she admitted being happy to break a seven-minute mile.

But she improved quickly in her first season of cross country.

“She had a good sophomore season (in cross country),” McDaniel said. “She was a natural runner, but she was new to racing.

We had another girl on our team, Alexis Carter, our returning top runner, and I think Chloe coming in as a new runner was scared to beat her. …

I think she was intimidated of being the top runner. She finished consistently No. 2 on our team. Last year as a junior I told her, ‘Chloe, you’re it. You need to embrace that top runner, that’s your spot.’ And last year she really came into it. She had a really good summer last year with base stuff and by the season

she was ready to go.

And she just hasn’t looked back.”

Hetherington also had a solid track season this past spring, adding school records in the 1,600- and 3,200-meter runs to the list of top Mountain View cross country times on her resumé.

It’s set her up for opportunities to run at the college level, which is her goal, but only if it’s the right school.

She maintains a 4.0 GPA, ranks sixth in her class academically and wants to major in biology, with an emphasis on conservation and the environment, an interest fueled by family vacations to Captiva and Sanibel Islands.

Pomona College (Calif.), Georgia Tech and Princeton currently rank as her top three choices.

“I would love to run in college, but academics is definitely my main focus when choosing a college,” she said. “I’m not going to go to a college just to run. I would like to run in college, so I’ll definitely at least do a running club.

This is my passion now. I want to keep running my whole life.

But I really hope I get to run for whatever school I’m going to.”

Before she makes that decision, Hetherington wants to keep making an impact at Mountain View and putting its girls cross country program among the state’s best.

Her mission early in the season is a time in the mid 18-minute range, a real possibility given her 10K Peachtree Road Race time of 38:24.

“She is absolutely making her mark at Mountain View,” McDaniel said. “I think she’ll continue to break her own records this year and set some new ones. I think she’s really looking at being the first female (runner) for sure, even across the board as a cross country runner at Mountain View, of getting some top recognition. And we’ve had some good guys in the past, but on the girls level a couple of years in a row we’ve been getting some of that attention. I think she’s going to be that runner.

I think she’s going to be the one in the future with new runners coming up that are pretty good, and we’ll say, ‘Here is where you want to make your mark. Here’s what Chloe did.’ And I think she’s going to make it hard for them to reach that level (with her times and finishes).”

Pressure doesn’t affect him, and he’s a truly clutch performer. He always runs for a purpose bigger than himself. He has full confidence in himself, our training plan and our team’s ability if we can stay healthy.”

He made a big decision to drop basketball following the 2017-18 season in order to concentrate on improving as a runner. Myles was able to drop his 800-meter time to 1:56 and his 1,600 to 4:22, not bad for a second-year runner who did not take a step on the track until basketball finished.

Myles has taken over the role as team leader following the graduation of his three leaders from 2017.

His leadership style revolves around leading by example. After placing third last year at the Gwinnett County Championship as a sophomore and 10th in the AAAAAAA State Cross Country Championships, he is looked up to greatly by his young and inexperienced teammates.”

He’s had a monster summer.

He ran 48th overall at the Peachtree Road Race on July 4th, and was the fastest high school finisher with a time of 33:12. He has inspired his teammates to work harder. He’s looking to improve on his fourth-place finish at state last year and set some new PRs.

He takes his craft of running seriously and is bound and determined to be the best runner he can be. Equally important to Brandon is how he is living out his very deep faith as he was recently elected by his peers as the spiritual leader of his senior class.

She has had a great summer and definitely put in the miles to be right up there at county, area and state. Where she’s really grown this year is in her ability to lead and give guidance to the younger girls on the team.

First of a theme Paul Duke STEM opens new era for Gwinnett curriculum

By Trevor McNaBoe

trevor.mcnaboe@gwinnettdailypost.com

Gwinnett County Public Schools is ushering in a new era of learning with the introduction of the district’s first theme school.

On Aug. 6 an estimated 650 students in the Norcross cluster will embark on the school district’s newest academic plan with the opening of Paul Duke STEM High School.

Prior to the opening of Paul Duke, schools in the district have utilized academies, which offer pathways and a course specific curriculum for students to gain experience and certifications in a field that interests them prior to leaving high school.

Paul Duke is the first of a pair of theme schools that the county is rolling out over the next two years.

The school, located on Peachtree Industrial Boulevard in Norcross, allows students in the Norcross cluster to choose between attending the STEMbased high school or going to nearby Norcross High.

Paul Duke principal Jonathon Wetherington said the

According to GCPS superintendent J. Alvin Wilbanks, the concept and start of conversations for theme high schools in the district began in 2004 at a school board retreat.

“They (theme schools) have a different focus and we threw around some ideas such as GSMST and schools like this,” Wilbanks said. “That retreat is when we started with the ideas and thoughts as well as developed a serious commitment for this.”

Wilbanks said the district is beginning to go back and transition traditional high schools such as North Gwinnett, Mill Creek and Peachtree Ridge to include more theme-based courses.

“We’re not just doing it in whole schools,” Wilbanks said. “We’re also doing it on a smaller scale in the traditional high schools.”

A breakdown of the school includes 350 students coming in as freshman, up to 200 students as sophomores and around 150 students in the junior class. Wetherington said the school’s first official graduation will take place in the spring of 2020 because there are no seniors at the high school this year.

In addition to its unique STEM focus, Paul Duke will also showcase a new academic schedule. Traditionally, high schools in the

School district have either focused on seven or eight periods that last approximately 50 minutes each or have taken a block schedule approach, in which students focus on four 90-minute courses.

Paul Duke will mesh the two schedules by having students on Mondays and Thursdays going to eight periods with a lunch included as one of the periods. On Tuesdays, they will have an “A” day which consists of students attending their first, third, fifth and seventh periods; while on Wednesday’s “B” day, students will attend the other four courses — second, fourth, sixth and eighth periods.

The school has set aside each Friday to be a digital learning day.

“Students can either come here to do their learning by using our media center and collaboration stations,” Wetherington said. “They also have the option to stay at home and do their learning. Fridays are a chance for us to offer an enrichment of learning through tutoring, clubs and activities.”

The school selected Trailblazers as its mascot.

However, the student body will not compete in interscholastic athletics.

Instead, the school will provide various alternatives such as academic clubs and extracurricular activities.

According to the school website, competition teams and clubs such as math team, mock trial, readers rally, Science Olympiad, Robotics Club and chess club are available to stu-

dents.

One classroom Paul Duke is highlighting is its engineering lab, which will allow students to gain hands-on experience in creating things as instead of learning about them in a textbook.

“It gives students tools and resources to build things in a real-life environment,” Wetherington said. “That’s going to prepare students for opportunities from Gwinnett Tech to Georgia Tech and really reinforce the learning they are doing in the classroom.”

Much like Gwinnett School of Mathematics, Science and Technology, Paul Duke is incorporating an internship into its curriculum for students.

“Our goal is for every senior to have an internship,” Wetherington said.

“Those internships get students real-life experiences out in the community.”

Wetherington said that with Fridays being flexible days it frees up time for seniors to participate in an internship for the entire day.

The new principal said his favorite part of the school opening is the excitement and opportunities available to incoming students.

“They really have an opportunity to get deep into things that they’re passionate about that traditional schools may not have as much of,” Wetherington said. “They’re excited to learn and come to a school and who doesn’t want students to be excited to come to school?”

Paul Duke STEM has study areas with couches and seating to encourage students to talk with one another and hang out between classes.

Girls camp lays foundation for future mentorship Excitement and camaraderie rang through the halls of Grace Snell Middle School with girls from the South Gwinnett and Shiloh clusters coming together for camp July 16 to 20.

Thirty-three girls from Grace Snell, Shiloh and Snellville Middle School participated in the inaugural Community-Based Mentoring Program for Girls camp.

The program, which began in January, is a district-wide initiative that offers guidance, encouragement and support to help students become successful young adults.

According to Girls’ Program Director Janice Warren, the school district has had a mentorship program and camp for boys for the past eight

Trevor McNaboe years. However, there was a desire from parents and school staff members to start a girls program.

Warren said the $30 cost of the camp was necessary not only for the program but also for the parents.

“We wanted the parents to make an investment in the program,” Warren said. “Our focus is to expose the girls to some things that they wouldn’t

get at school. That’s one of the reasons we decided to dig deeper into STEM by offering some classes.”

Some of the activities provided by the camp included team-building, a makeup class and a vision board room.

A popular activity during the camp was the makeup class. The class focused on movie style makeup, such as fake cuts and wounds used on the silver screen.

Shiloh Middle School seventh-grade student Kaia Thompson said she developed an interest in the mentorship program through a video shown to her.

“It seemed like it was fun, so I told my mom that I wanted to be in the group,” Thompson said.

“My favorite activity here has been the makeup station. There’s a lot of activities available to us.”

Grayson resident NeShanta Banks volunteered at the camp. Banks’ two daughters are graduates of Gwinnett County Public Schools in 2005 and 2009. Because of her experience as a parent in the county she felt a calling to give back.

“I knew that Gwinnett County had a mentoring program for boys and always wondered when they would start one for girls, and finally, they did,” Banks said. “I believe in the youth, in their future and believe they are our future.

“It’s just an awesome feeling to give back because I believe there may be something you can say to a child that will impact

Good Samaritan Health Center of Gwinnett awardes $5K grant

BY TREVOR MCNABOE trevor.mcnaboe @gwinnettdailypost.com

The Good Samaritan Health Center of Gwinnett announced it received a $5,000 grant from Jackson EMC to put toward the CoBank Sharing Success Program.

The grant will help the Norcross-based nonprofit in purchasing dental instruments for its Smiles Under

Construction program, which provides affordable dental solutions for patients who are economically challenged.

The Good Samaritan Health Center provides quality, affordable primary health care, dental services and counseling in Norcross.

“We are so grateful to Jackson EMC and CoBank for this grant,” said Greg Lang, the center’s executive director. “With more surgi-

cal instruments on hand, we can keep duplicate surgical tools in rotation while used instruments cycle through sterilization and packaging for reuse. By eliminating the sterilization wait time of 45 minutes per cycle to complete, we can use the additional instruments to serve more patients each day.”

The center operates the only full-time charity dental practice serv-

ing uninsured patients in Gwinnett.

In 2017, Jackson EMC provided the Good Samaritan Clinic with a $20,000 grant. The Jackson EMC grant made Good Samaritan eligible for a nomination to the CoBank Sharing Success program. The program matches contributions — up to $5,000 — made by its cooperative members, which includes Jackson EMC.

Fort Yargo State Park is offering a way for visitors to beat the heat with beach games from noon to 3 p.m. Sept. 1 outside the boat house. The games are suitable for children ages 6 to 12.

Although admission to the event is free, a parking pass is required to enter the state park. Daily parking is $5.

Fort Yargo is located at 210 S. Broad St. in Winder.

BERKELEY LAKE Council rolls back millage rate The Berkeley Lake City Council set the city’s millage rate at 2.005 mills for the 2019 fiscal year.

This means property owners will pay fewer tax dollars to the city. The rate is 5.2 percent below the rollback rate, which will produce an 11.63 percent reduction in the total tax dollars the city collects, according to Mayor Lois Salter.

Cities can announce that they are lowering their millage rates even while collecting more taxes if the local property values and assessments have risen. The rollback rate identifies the exact millage rate at which the same total tax dollars would be collected as the year before, Salter wrote in her city newsletter.

The truth of a life is found in the details When Rev. Billy Graham passed away, there were wonderful tributes that poured forth from people who knew him or had been inspired by his life and preaching.

Each news story seemed to recall what most of us had always known about the kind Rev. Graham: He was a man of deep moral conviction; a favorite phrase was “The Bible says.” He was raised on a Charlotte dairy farm. He found salvation in a tent revival, then devoted his life to preaching salvation through the risen Christ. We also knew that his wife, Ruth, had been dedicated until her death, they lived in the North Carolina mountains and he always wore suits with

Ronda Rich ties and was known for the thick mop of hair that turned from brown to silver.

Though his son Franklin has taken the helm of his father’s ministry, there are other preachers in the family, including Anne Graham Lotz, whom her father had often called “the best preacher in the family.”

Naturally, when she spoke on the day of his

heavenly homegoing, she talked foremost of his devotion to Christ and the conversion of sinners.

Her words were eloquent.

Then, as only an accomplished storyteller can do, she shared insights that gave us a deeper look at the carnal man and his earthly habits.

She said, “When I think of him, I don’t think of Billy Graham, the public figure. I think of my Daddy. The one who was always a farmer at heart, who loved his dogs and his cat. Who followed the weather patterns almost as closely as he did world events.

Who wore old blue jeans, comfortable sweaters and a baseball cap. Who loved lukewarm coffee, sweet iced tea, one scoop

of ice cream and a plain hamburger from McDonald’s. Who was interested in everything and everyone, from the small to the great. Whose mind remembered details that even a computer would have trouble recalling.”

And there, within her sentences, we learned details that we had not known during Rev. Graham’s long life on earth.

Lukewarm coffee. Plain hamburgers. Sweet iced tea. It made him feel normal and more of a neighbor than a celestial icon.

The power of superb storytelling lies in the minutia of a person’s story. Yes, it matters if the teenager was driving a Ford or a Chevy truck when he got stuck in the

mud at the football field.

And it is more interesting if we know whether it was white or black so that our mind’s eye can see clearly the truck as it wrestled its way out of a muddy grave.

Not long ago, a friend experienced an attempted home invasion. This saga ends well in that the alarm system went off, he jumped out of bed, grabbed a nearby handgun and started firing.

The three bandits fled but were captured later.

As he told the story of what happened, he began by telling me that he had been suffering with a bad cold. So, that night, he took some cold medicine.

He named the brand.

“I was so sleepy that I couldn’t hold my head, so I went to bed.” His regaling tale included which room and in which chair he had been sitting before retiring and which television show his wife was

watching. As he told the story, I was transported into the time and place of the happening.

“I just want you to know,” I told Tink, “this was a very serious story, but he included the details like the name of the cold medicine, what time he took it, et cetera.”

Tink occasionally thinks we Southerners use too many details and sometimes encourages me to skip those details and get to the point.

“But it matters what car someone drove or what she was wearing,” I usually protest.

A person’s true life, I believe, is embedded in the details. Just look at what they told us about Rev. Graham.

Comparisons can help or hurt you Humans have been called the comparing creatures. Our brains are hardwired to compare ourselves to others, and assess how we stack up.

It’s how the human race evolves. We build on the accomplishments of others.

Can you imagine one lioness looking at another lioness, wondering, “How does she get her cubs’ coats so shiny?” Lionesses and lions are majestic beasts, but they’re pretty much running their lives the exact same way they were 500 years ago.

The challenge for humans is that the very same behavior that helps us improve ourselves, individually and collectively, (comparing) is also the behavior that erodes our spirit and pits us mercilessly and often needlessly against one another.

Here are two personal examples: Within the first week of my first job, I was comparing my work to my colleagues. I worked for Procter & Gamble; the standards were very high. Comparing myself to others helped me up my game. A group of peers with high standards can help you rise to the occasion.

As a young parent, I also compared myself.

How do other parents talk to their toddlers? What do other parents do when their child melts down in public?

Comparing helps you see what’s possible.

Which behaviors do you want to emulate, and which behaviors do you want to avoid? There’s nothing like watching someone else’s 8-year-old throw a hissy fit to help you realize you need to rein in your 4-year-old before she turns into a brat.

In my case, had I been left to my own devices, I suspect I wouldn’t have learned as many skills at work and would have been a slacker parent.

Comparing is how we make sense of the world. The reason you call people tall is because they’re taller than others around them. The reason you consider your boss nice may be because your last boss was terrible. Every observation you make is in reference to another observation. To say “Stop comparing,” is akin to saying “Please stop having logical thought.”

Yet, we’ve all been told

Forget Perfect

Lisa McLeod by well-meaning parents and teachers. “Don’t compare yourself to others.” The irony is, the very same people probably routinely pointed out well-mannered children and good students as examples for us to emulate.

One of the things I love about business is there’s no pretense about comparing. It’s part of the standard operating model.

Every good organization knows your customers are comparing you to the competition. You better be measuring yourself or you’ll fall behind. Anyone who does any hiring or promoting knows you’re always comparing people against performance standards and each other.

But constant comparison can be exhausting.

Living your life with a constant refrain of — “Am I good enough?”, “Do I measure up?” and “Am I winning, or am I falling behind?” — inhibits your ability to be fully present.

Constant comparing will rob you of the happiness and joy found in real human connection. It will keep you from experiencing the serotonin effect of gratitude. And it will erode feelings of justifiable pride in your accomplishments.

Aristotle said, “Every virtue carried to extreme is a vice.” Comparing helps you when it spurns you to beneficial actions, like exercising more or speaking more concisely in meetings. Comparing hurts you when it causes you to judge yourself or others as unworthy. The difference is both dramatic and nuanced.

Next time you find yourself comparing, ask yourself: Is comparing going to help me navigate the world in a more effective way? If so, assess away.

If not, it’s OK to just be yourself.

Scrap is this week’s Atlanta Humane Society Pet of the Week. This 2-year-old cutie is a true heartthrob, and his personality will keep you laughing.

He’s great with kids and other dogs (as long as those dogs like to play and wrestle with him), and he’s instantly best friends with anyone he meets.

Scrap sometimes forgets how big and strong he is, so he’s looking for an experienced dog owner to help him develop manners and good habits so that he can claim his rightful title of World’s Best Dog. Scrap is extremely smart, knows several tricks and he’s also completely house-broken. He’s currently living in an Atlanta Humane Society foster home, so if you’re interested in meeting scrap, please email Kelly at kteasley@atlantahumane.org.

He’s neutered, microchipped, up-to-date on vaccinations and ready to go home with you.

Straight talk about the pros, cons of AP classes

555210-2

The College Board’s vaunted Advanced Placement franchise may be in trouble. In recent years, several top U.S. universities, including Ivy League bellwethers Dartmouth, Brown and Columbia, have stopped accepting AP credits.

Then, in June, eight elite Washington, D.C.area private high schools announced that they would no longer offer AP courses, opting instead for a school-based curriculum that they believe will better prepare students for college.

If you’re a Gwinnett parent with high-schoolage children, you may be facing an Advanced Placement dilemma of your own: Should your kids take AP courses?

How many? What are the pros and cons?
