controversial comments he made on Facebook were briefed by attorneys this week on whether a recall would be possible against Hunter.

But state law stipulates recalls can only be pursued if an elected official committed certain actions. Okoye and others have said there may

be some uncertainty as to whether Hunter’s comments, including calling U.S. Rep. John Lewis a “racist pig” and referring to Democrats as “Demonrats” and “Libtards,” would meet that threshold.

“The decision is not quite final yet, but it does not look like we will be pursuing a

recall of Mr. Hunter,” Okoye told the Daily Post in an email. “The grounds/basis for a recall is not very solid.”

Okoye’s comments raise further questions on what will happen next in the Hunter saga now that the Board of Commissioners publicly reprimanded him for his remarks on social media. A

BY CHRISTINE TROYKE

christine.troyke@gwinnettdailypost.com

The only Peachtree Road Race Marilyn Rushin ever thought about quitting was her first one. Forty years ago.

In 1977, she was at family Easter gathering and saw an ad for the seventh annual Fourth of July 5K in the newspaper.

“I said, ‘Oh, I might do this,’” Rushin said.

Her brother scoffed.

“When he told me I couldn’t run six miles, I had to show him,” Rushin said with a delighted laugh. “So that’s how it started.”

Rushin was 33 years old with two kids, Brandon and Tennille, not yet old enough for school.

“I had started just jogging in

Questions surround new gun law

Peachtree Corners is Gwinnett County’s youngest city, having coming into existence five years ago this weekend, but Mayor Mike Mason said the town lacks one key thing.

It doesn’t have one place that people immediately think of when the Peachtree Corners name is mentioned, he said. Neighboring cities, such as Norcross, Duluth and Suwanee have downtown areas that people can think of when they hear those cities names, but Peachtree Corners doesn’t have that kind of space — yet.

“When you think of Peachtree Corners now, I

Tip leads to wanted aggravated assault suspect alleged crime to the media Thursday.

A tip from a reporter OriginalThursday led to the arrest ly, police of a man suspected of atreported tacking a woman who was his name Raul giving him a ride from as ArrueArrue-Valle Norcross to Duluth two Valle. weeks ago.

“Mr. Arrue-Valle stated Raul Arrue-Valle, 39, he contacted Telemundo saw his picture on a media because because he had website after Gwinnett seen his pictures on MunCounty police released do Hispanico’s website information about his and he was concerned,”

By Cailin O’Brien

cailin.obrien @gwinnettdailypost.com

responding officer O.O. Mancia wrote in the police report.

Arrue-Valle has been accused of attacking a woman after he asked her for a ride at a Norcross QuikTrip off Beaver Ruin Road on June 18 at about 4:30 a.m. He allegedly told her that he was from out of town and not familiar with the area.

The woman agreed to give him a ride to a home in Duluth, but Arrue-

Valle never gave her an exact address, according to a previous police report. Instead, he gave her directions as she drove.

Eventually, the woman stopped at the intersection of Green Street and Eagle Terrace.

“She told the suspect to exit her vehicle because she felt like the suspect did not know where the location was at,” according to a police report.

Instead, Arrue-Valle

allegedly reached over and turned the key until the car was off. Then, he lunged at the woman with a knife. The woman yelled for help and ArrueValle reportedly got out of her car and ran away, dropping his cellphone on the passenger seat as he left.

The woman sustained only a small cut on her hand.

“Though his ultimate intention is still unknown,

the victim now believes that the suspect may have wanted to take her down a dark street to rape her,” said Gwinnett County police Cpl. Michele Pihera.

Gwinnett County police booked Arrue-Valle into jail Friday at 12:04 a.m. on an aggravated assault charge. He’s also being held for both the Greene County Sheriff’s Office and Immigrations and Customs Enforcement.

Gwinnett Tech students earn six medals at competition

Palm trees are not just for the tropics Gardening in Gwinnett

Tim Daly require protection from the cold, while others will perish if exposed to freezing temperatures. Needle palms and windmill palms are the best choices for our climate.

The needle palm is among the hardiest of palms and can tolerate temperatures as low as minus five degrees. They have a slow growth rate and reach a height of six to eight feet at maturity.

These palms are a clumpy, low-growing understory tree. They have fan-shaped leaves that are dark green

on top with a silvery green on the underside. The name is derived from the needle-like spines that grow between the leaf attachments on the stem.

The spines are dark colored, quite sharp and can grow to a length of four to ten inches. Needle palms can be used as single specimens or in multiple plantings. They are an excellent choice for sites with limited space and can be planted in containers.

The palms prefer partially shaded areas with welldrained soils.

Windmill palms have a single slender brown trunk covered with dense fibers resembling burlap. It has a moderate growth rate and can reach a height of 20 to 25 feet. Its leaves are two to three feet across.

Like the needle palm, they grow well in most soils but require adequate drainage.

Windmill palms prefer full sun to moderate shade.

NOTICE OF PROPERTY TAX INCREASE The Gwinnett County Board of Education has tentatively adopted a millage rate which will require an increase in property taxes by 6.17 percent.

All concerned citizens are invited to attend public hearing on this tax increase to be held in the Board Room at the J. Alvin Wilbanks Instructional Support Center, 437 Old Peachtree Road, Suwanee, GA on Wednesday, July 12, 2017, at 7:00 p.m.

The tentative increase will result in a millage rate of 19.800 mills, an increase of 1.150 mills. Without this tentative tax increase, the millage rate will be no more than 18.650 mills. The proposed tax increase for a home with a fair market value of $200,000 is approximately $87.40 and the proposed tax increase for non-homestead property with a fair market value of $550,000 is approximately $253.00 In setting the millage rate to support the budget, the Gwinnett County Board of Education will not increase the total school millage rate. Holding the total millage rate at the same level, by law, must be advertised as a property tax increase due to the higher value of property in the county. The total millage rate is not changing and taxpayers whose property has not been assigned a higher value this year will see no change in their school taxes.

495295-1

Gwinnett County Public Schools’ fiscal year 2018 budget provides resources to accommodate a growing student population. The primary resources of revenue to support the budget are state funding, which includes funding reductions (austerity reductions) for the 16th consecutive year, and the local tax digest. Other highlights of the FY2018 budget include: • Gwinnett County Public Schools will add almost 2,000 new students next year.

• Enrollment is expected to exceed 180,000 students in the 2017-2018 school year.

• Teaching and learning are the central focus of the budget, with 72% of the General Fund budget targeted for instructional services.

• Although the district will collect fewer local tax dollars than it did in FY2009, the adopted budget does not recommend an increase in the property tax millage rate.

They are attractive when planted in groups but do well as single specimens.

Other palms, such as sabal palms or saw palmettos, can be grown in our area. However, they are not as cold tolerant and could suffer damage when the temperature drops below 20 degrees. If you plant them, tie the fronds together in bundles and then cover them with burlap or blankets for protection during hard freezes.

Make sure the central bud is protected since the new growth originates from this point.

Palm trees are best planted in the early summer when their roots growth is the greatest.

They should be watered deeply and thoroughly. Apply mulch around the root zone to reduce water loss.

Palms should be fertilized in the growing season before early August. Use a fertilizer that contains both potassium and magnesium since palms are prone to suffer from a deficiency of these nutrients. Broadcast or scatter the fertilizer over the root zone.

Palm trees are not limited to regions with tropical climates. If given proper care, they will thrive and will add interest to the home landscape.

Recently I visited Savannah, and observed many palm trees thriving in the local climate.

Along with the stately live oak trees, they line many of the streets and grow in the parks adding beauty to Georgia’s oldest city.

Many people wonder if palm trees can grow in our area. Often, when homeowners think of them, images of places with tropical climates, such as Florida and Hawaii, come to mind.

However, you do not need to travel long distances to enjoy the beauty of these plants. Some palm trees thrive in our area. They are an excellent addition to the landscape.

They are attractive, low maintenance, tolerant of prolonged dry conditions and evergreen.

The critical factor that determines where palms can be grown is cold hardiness. Some can tolerate our cold winters; some will

Tips for hormone treatment Dear Dr. rOach: I am an 84-year-old male.

I recently switched from testosterone patches to AndroGel. My testosterone levels have gone up considerably, and I have seen some improvement in my erectile dysfunction. I suspect just a little more testosterone might get me a usable erection.

My physician said to rub the gel into my shoulder.

She could not explain how it gets through the skin.

Am I literally rubbing it in?

Would more pressure push it through the skin better?

Is the gel absorbed? Are some areas more absorbent than others? Where is the best place to apply the gel?

Is the skin already saturated if I apply the gel to dry skin following a bath?

— Anon. ansWer: The ability to absorb drugs across the skin has made administration of some drugs much easier, especially those like testosterone, which are not absorbed when taken by mouth. However, there are some factors to keep in mind.

First, the testosterone is absorbed through the skin over time — you don’t need to massage it in. The alcohol in the gel allows the skin to absorb it better. Skin absorbs better when moist, so applying after a bath may help your body absorb the full dose your doctor is giving you. Applying a moisturizer on the skin an hour after the gel also helps absorption.

However, the medicine is still being absorbed even four hours later, so a shower or bath will wash it off. The shoulder is a better place than the abdomen, so always use it there, but you can change sides.

Some of my colleagues who prescribe these drugs more than I do have written that some patients just have not been able to get enough testosterone with the gel, and must use injection.

Dear Dr. rOach: I take all of my meds at once in the morning, including an over-50 vitamin as well as a vitamin D supplement.

My other medications are Cymbalta and an occasional OTC antihistamine during the spring. I read that the effectiveness of many medications can be diminished when they are taken at the same time as vitamins.

Is this true? If so, which medications are affected this way? Are certain vitamins more likely to have this effect?

— F.F. ansWer: There are only a few instances when taking over-the-counter vitamins and minerals can interfere in a clinically relevant way with the absorption of prescription medications; however, one to be concerned with is calcium.

Calcium can reduce absorption of antibiotics, thyroid medication and other drugs.

Calcium is in some vitamins but not others, so you need to check.

Your pharmacist is a most valuable resource when it comes to medication interactions. That’s why it’s important to get all your prescriptions filled at the same pharmacy. It’s also worthwhile to check in with your pharmacist, especially if you are getting medications from multiple doctors or if you are taking over-the-counter medications or supplements.

Sisters resent brother’s dependence on parents Dear amy: I am one of three sisters who live relatively stable and productive lives after some rough patches growing up.

Our elderly parents have always had a blind spot for our brother, who is in and out of rehab for alcohol and drug abuse, legal problems, and financial crises of his own making. Now it appears that he has abandoned his kids, who live hundreds of miles away.

He makes himself out to be the victim of unfair bosses, a bad employment market, an unstable wife, evil in-laws, etc.

He is in his mid-50s and has been living with my parents on and off over the last two years. He helps them out at his convenience, but otherwise does whatever he wants.

My parents are older and I’d like to have a relationship with them, but their world seems to revolve around their dependent son.

We live in the same town and he is constantly with them. (He lost his license.)

When I tried to express concern about their enabling him, my mom got angry and defensive. They claim they’re “staying out of it” by not discussing his ongoing addiction, financial troubles, family issues, etc., but as long as my brother is living a comfortable and enabled life with them, his problems are their problems.

I think they’re doing more harm than good,

Ask Amy

Amy Dickinson and the whole thing really bothers me. My sisters and I are expected to smile and take the high road, while the “helpless” grown brother gets the benefit of the doubt.

I don’t want to be around this, so I avoid them, but I feel guilty.

Any suggestions?

— Wayward Daughter Dear Daughter: You are obviously very upset with your brother and are judgmental about his addiction and financial and work problems, as well as his relationships with his children and your parents.

You should share your frank and honest views of how his behavior is affecting you, directly with him.

Your parents are free to make their own choices, including the choice to possibly impede your brother’s progress by enabling him. However, if he is currently sober, this fairly stable and low-stress life with your parents might be helping him to stay sober. If he is currently drinking, then this lifestyle might be enabling his addiction.

You and your sisters

should all read up on addiction and attend Al-anon meetings (Al-anon.org).

What you will learn is that while you have a right to your own anger and resentment, you, too, must surrender to others’ rights to make terrible choices. If you think your parents are being coerced, forced or abused, you should act to protect them. Otherwise, accepting some simple realities may liberate you from your anger.

Dear amy: Our son is going to get married.

What are typical expenses a groom’s parents should plan on covering?

We have been saving up and are looking forward to the experience.

I’m guessing that some of this depends on what we are asked to provide.

The wedding will be local, which helps tremendously.

— Parents of the Groom Dear Parents: Traditionally, the bride’s parents have been expected to cover the majority of the costs of the wedding and reception, with the groom’s parents hosting the “rehearsal” dinner, the night before the wedding.

However, tradition needn’t dictate the way your son and his future spouse handle their wedding. I’m of the firm view that the couple should be in charge of their own wedding, and that includes financing it. This means that the couple may use their own savings to pay for their wedding, or they may go to each family and

ask them to help defray the cost.

You have been saving for this, and you might offer the couple a set amount, which they could use for their wedding, honeymoon or to put toward a down payment on a house.

If they would like for you to host the rehearsal dinner, you could deduct that cost from the total, and give them the rest.

Dear amy: “T” reported feeling betrayed when her workplace crush revealed he had a girlfriend.

The woman had ‘Photoshopped’ her work-mate into her future. Many people, especially women, do this.

When things took a surprising turn, (since the fellow and she weren’t really ‘in the same picture’), she jumped to the conclusion that she is destined to be alone.

She was running a video in her head, and he could not read, nor see, the subtitles.

— Experienced Dear exPerienceD: It is also possible that “T’s” work mate deliberately led her on.

Unterman, Schrader seek to highlight opioid issues

By Curt yeomans

curt.yeomans @gwinnettdailypost.com

Within an hour on May 26, police were called to the homes of two Lawrenceville teens who lived down the street from each other and had died of overdoses in separate events.

The deaths also happened the morning after county, state and federal officials held a summit in Lawrenceville to highlight the opioid drug epidemic in Gwinnett County, and the need for resources to fight it.

Kathi Abraham — whose son, Joseph, was one of the two teens who died — had attended that meeting to learn more about the issue.

“It was that night that I learned about fentanyl actually,” she said. “I wasn’t aware of it as a parent struggling with my son for four years prior to this. I had no idea that the next morning that I would find my son, along with Dustin (Manning), we live in the same neighborhood, that we would find our boys victims of this.”

Abraham, her husband, David, and Dustin’s parents, Lisa and Greg Manning, joined state Sen. Renee Unterman, Superior Court Judge Kathryn Schrader and the parents of other people who had died of overdoses at a press conference in Atlanta on Friday to once again bring attention to the drug issue in Georgia.

Schrader and Unterman are calling on residents to get involved in the fight against addiction by helping to make sure their communities have needed resources to fight addictions. They are also calling for more transition and recovery centers and more funding for state agencies to fight opioid drug use and help people kick their addictions.

“My community desperately needs a transition center, a recovery center, a therapeutic center so that we don’t allow people who have gotten so wrapped up in substance abuse disorders to get in to the system and then be released before they can find appropriate care,” Schrader said.

“I believe that now it’s our duty and our burden to make sure that we have brick and mortar appropriate care in every community in this state and in every community in this country.”

Unterman said “The most important thing is education — that’s what we’re doing here on a holiday weekend — prevention and most importantly therapeutic services.”

Although opioids include a range of drugs,

there are three that were highlighted at the press conference on Friday: Heroin, fentanyl and carfentanil.

GBI Director of Public Affairs Nelly Miles said the drugs that are hitting the street are becoming more mixed. Heroin could have fentanyl — which is supposed to be administered by a doctor in small doses through a patch — mixed in with it. More recently, the elephant tranquilizer, carfentanil, began showing up in drug mixes as well, Miles said.

“We realized that those individuals that are profiting from putting these poisons on the streets started to change the formula a little bit,” she said. “We saw this with designer drugs. That’s the whole purpose. They are making these drugs to get around existing drug laws.”

Miles showed small vials of heroin, fentanyl and carfentanil to show how much of each drug it takes to overdose. Heroin required the largest amount, nearly a quarter of a vial. Fentanyl required the next largest amount although it was significantly smaller — only a few flakes — and the carfentanil container was virtually empty. It had a single flake in it.

“This just goes to show how little it takes,” she said.

For the Abrahams and the Mannings, the fact that opioid addiction can happen to anyone is something they know all too well.

Kathi Abraham said her son, who was 19, was an athlete who liked kayaking, fishing and hiking. He also liked to play the piano.

About four years ago, we found that he had begun experimenting with marijuana and possibly drinking,” she said. “We didn’t know if this was normal teenage experimentation or if there was something more. When he was in ninth grade, we began him in therapy, so he would go to weekly therapy.

“I’m not sure how much that actually helped him because he was very much of a charmer and could tell his story the way he wanted it to come off.”

Abraham said she and her husband saw the drug use escalate. He dropped out of school when he was in the eleventh grade, but eventually got his GED. He went to a rehab facility in Pennsylvania as well.

There was a stint in jail for nonviolent crimes, but his mother said he continued to struggle despite dreams of doing something better with his life.

“He had some really good days,” she said.

“We thought we had some really good conversations, and the next thing we know, we find him in his room (on May 26).”

Abraham and Dustin Manning knew each other. Dustin’s parents said the pair played on the same little league team, and they had gotten into trouble together in the past.

“I coached them in little league,” Greg Manning said. “I mean, it was a normal life and all of a sudden addiction kicked in. Both of them fought a similar but very separate battle.

The best advice we can give anyone who is going through this is stay in tune with your child.

Don’t let them revert back to a solitary state.

Don’t let them go into their rooms by themselves.

“Ask them what’s wrong because that’s when they are dealing with something in their minds. They are trying to work through the shame and the guilt.”

Still, Dustin’s mother said that while the drugs the pair overdosed on appeared to be similar, they did not die together. Lisa Manning works at the drug rehabilitation center that her son went to, and she and her husband had made Dustin take a drug test the night before he died.

“He was clean,” she said. “He obviously had an urge, or we don’t know what, but it wasn’t very much from what we understand and what little he did relapse from killed him.”

Unterman plans to push for more funding in the next state budget, but she said the state’s budget discussions are in their early stages so she’s not sure how much money will be asked for yet.

One area she wants to secure extra funding for, however, is toxicology testing done at the GBI’s lab so it has more resources to quickly identify which drugs caused a person’s death.

The Mannings and the Abrahams, for example, are still waiting for the results of their son’s toxicology test so they can find out which drug he overdosed on. They believe it was fentanyl, but they won’t know for sure until the results come back.

“It’s not fair to these parents to ask that question, ‘What did your son die of?’ and they have to wait maybe three months or six months and don’t know what (their loved ones) died of,” Unterman said. “It’s also good for intelligence in the law enforcement community to know exactly what’s on the street and what people are dying from.”

world Pope replaces Vatican’s chief of doctrine Pope Francis is replacing the Catholic Church’s conservative chief of doctrine, Cardinal Gerhard Muller, amid apparent tensions over the Pope’s efforts to open up church teaching and tackle a series of sex abuse scandals.

A Vatican statement released Saturday said the Pope thanked Muller at the conclusion of his five-year appointment as head of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, which ends Sunday.

Rather than being renewed, Muller will be replaced by Monsignor Luis Francisco Ladaria Ferrer, a Jesuit and current secondin-command for the Vatican’s doctrinal watchdog.

Muller, 69, a German, was appointed by Francis’ predecessor, Pope Benedict XVI, who himself once headed the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith.

world&nation 28 hurt in Arkansas club shooting

Twenty-eight people were wounded early Saturday as gunfire rang out during a concert at a nightclub in Little Rock, Ark., police said.

All but three were shot, and the others suffered related injuries at the Power Ultra Lounge in the Arkansas capital.

Officials believe the shooting is related to gang activity, Buckner said.

Latinos are key to U.S. economic growth, study finds

By Octavio Blanco CNN

Latinos are becoming an increasingly critical engine for America’s economic growth, a new report finds.

In 2015, the 55 million Latinos living and working in the U.S. were responsible for $2.13 trillion — or 11.8 percent — of America’s $18.04 trillion gross domestic product, according to a study released Thursday by the

Must read Latino Donors Collaborative, a nonpartisan association of Latino business, political and academic leaders.

And those contributions are expected to continue to grow.

By 2020, the researchers estimate that Latinos will fuel nearly a quarter of all U.S. GDP growth, and represent 12.7 percent of

the country’s total GDP. Helping to power that growth will be the growing number of young Latinos who will be joining the workforce as an older generation of American workers — the Baby Boomers — retire.

“We are excited to have statistical evidence that proves what Latinos living in the U.S. have always known to be true: we are a hard-working, productive, and essential part of American economic growth and American so-

ciety,” said Ana Valdez, executive director of the Latino economic advocacy group.

The researchers relied on data from the Census Bureau, Department of Commerce, Bureau of Labor, World Bank, and the University of Minnesota to reach their findings.

If the U.S. Latino GDP was considered an economy of its own, it would have been the seventh-largest in the world in 2015 — just behind France and

ahead of India, the researchers found. In terms of GDP growth between 2010 and 2015, U.S. Latinos came in third, behind China and India.

“A lot of places have fast-growing GDPs, but they also have high volatility and uncertainty,” said David Hayes-Bautista, director of the Center for the Study of Latino Health and Culture at the University of California Los Angeles, and one of the lead researchers on the study.

events or excursions away from campus on property not owned or leased by a University System institution.

Under the new law, it is a misdemeanor crime for a license-holder to carry a handgun “in a manner or in a building, property, room or space in violation of” these provisions, Wrigley wrote. Doing so may be a violation of the institution’s student code of conduct and personnel rules.

“It will be the responsibility of those licenseholders who choose to carry handguns on campus to know the law and to understand where they can go while carrying,” he wrote. “Institutions will not provide gun storage facilities or erect signs outside restricted areas.”

Among the exceptions to the new law are places on campus that even license-holders may not carry a handgun. One example is buildings and property used for athletic sporting events. That also extends to some “tailgating” areas, or student recreation centers and similar facilities that are not used for intercollegiate games.

“I do, however, know that as young adults that are trying to obtain our first college degree we are constantly exposed to high levels of social pressure and influence that, in turn, lead to high levels of stress and confusion,” Okebalama wrote. “This can lead to students not making the best decisions on various occasions.”

•From Page 1A the neighborhood because my daughter was almost a year old, and I just wanted to lose some weight,” the longtime Norcross resident said. “I got hooked.”

But coming up Heartbreak Hill 40 years ago, Rushin was realizing how much harder it was than she expected.

“And do you know what? A lady passed me, a little older lady,” Rushin said.

In retrospect, she laughs at calling that woman old.

“I bet that lady was probably only 50 years old,” Rushin chortled.

“Now that’s not old.

“She passed me, and she had a backpack on and I said, ‘Wait a minute, I cannot let this little old lady beat me.’ So that got it in gear. That’s about the only time I’ve been where I wanted to stop.”

Rushin, who looks more like 53 than 73, has run 39 straight Peachtree Road Races, including one year when she had to call the director to get a number.

“I think it was around the 20th year, I didn’t get in,” Rushin said, still incredulous. “I called the director and said, ‘Wait a minute. What am I supposed to do for Fourth of July? This is what I’ve been doing for 20 years.”

They asked her to send a photo of all of her Tshirts and that was good enough.

“I’m persistent,” Rushin said with a grin.

“I got a number.”

After the first Peachtree, she ran the Atlanta Marathon and has done so a number of times. Her husband, John, drops her off for every race and is there waiting at the end. They just celebrated their 39th wedding anniversary last weekend.

Except once.

“One year, when I did the Atlanta Marathon, I finished, and it was cold and had been raining a

that should be required for them to answer at every meeting, open house, general assembly, social gathering, fundraiser and party they attend.

“I say this because it is best to put high levels of constructive pressure on the minds of the officials making this decision.

This should be done until it’s the only thing keeping them up at night.”

Virtually every college president or university leader across the state was against the bill, including GGC President Stas Preczewski.

“At some point we have to wake up and decide if we really want to live in a world where the majority of our elected officials will go against the opinion of 70 percent of the people they represent,” Okebalama said.

Wrigley noted six points for how House Bill 280 should be implemented.

Wrigley said while the previous version of the law already allowed license-holders to keep weapons secured in motor vehicles, House Bill 280 allows anyone who is properly licensed in Georgia to carry a concealed handgun on property owned or leased by public colleges and universities, with some exceptions.

“It will not allow any other type of gun to be carried around campus; nor will it allow handguns to be carried openly,” said Wrigley, who noted that the pending law does not apply to institution-sponsored

little bit,” Rushin said.

“Everybody was getting picked up afterward.

Where is my husband and my two children? I had to wait about 30 minutes before they came. And you know where they had been? To the Varsity.

They said, ‘Mom, you want some onion rings?’”

She chuckles now, but it wasn’t funny at the time.

“I was so upset and John said, ‘I didn’t think you would finish this fast,’” she said. “From then on, he was always there to meet me.”

Rushin has done Run the Reagan and walked 60 miles each of the last two years in the Susan G. Komen three-day event to support breast cancer research, as well as untold numbers of other local races.

“I just kept going,” the 73-year-old said.

“I would do something every Saturday. Anything that was coming up.”

She thought last year would be her last for the Komen three-day.

“The Lord just spoke to me: You’ve got strong legs, you need to go

out there and help other people,” Rushin said.

She might have been close to quitting her first race, but ever since, it’s Rushin who keeps people going. She dresses up and talks to anyone who looks like they’re struggling. Her verve for life is contagious.

“I’m still going wearing my hats and dressing up, I’m just going slower,” Rushin smiles. “It’s a slow jog.”

One of her recent, and more well-know outfits, is a Lady Liberty theme with a sparkly red-whiteand blue headband.

“I dress for the occasion,” Rushin laughed.

“And I get a lot of attention. That gets me up the hill and everything.”

Rushin is up at 4:30 a.m. Monday through Friday for a 5 a.m. training session at Lilburn Park.

There’s a varying group of friends who join her for part of it. She’s been walking eight to 12 miles lately to prep for the three-day.

“It’s just something I enjoy,” she said. “You know, when you’re talking, you don’t realize

your walking that much.”

If none of her regular friends can make it, Rushin will make new ones on the path. You won’t find her wearing headphones and listening to music.

“I’m a social butterfly,” she said.

Rushin, who moved to Atlanta from Alabama to attend Clark College in 1962, also is deeply involved in her community and her church, Lilburn First Baptist. She’s a group leader for the Bible Study Fellowship and part of the women’s ministry.

She visits elderly shut-ins several times a week.

She worked for 33 years at Hopkins Elementary and to many Girl Scouts in the Gwinnett area, she will always be “Mother Nature,” the character she played at the long-running Lilburn Girl Scout Day Camp for three decades.

She also does Zumba a couple of times a week.

“I enjoy everything I do,” she said with that infectious grin. “I don’t mind getting up early — because I can come back and take a nap.”

carry legislation — that went into effect this weekend, however, targets low-performing schools and gives the state the authority to intervene to turn them around. Among the options available to the state now is creation of a chief turnaround officer position that is designed to help troubled schools improve.

The legislation also establishes the groundwork for a state-run accreditation system and giving the state the ability to removing school board members, thus letting the state Board of Education take over failing schools.

It was filed earlier this year, after an effort to change the state constitution to let the state takeover failing schools was rejected by voters in November 2016. Educators in Gwinnett County have expressed opposition to the law.

Other laws that went into effect this weekend include: • Employees who work at least 30 hours a week can use sick leave to take care of ill children, parents, spouses, grandchildren, grandparents and other dependents — provided their employer offers sick leave in the

first place. Employers who offer an employee stock ownership plan are exempt. The General Assembly must also extend the law by July 1, 2020, or it will be repealed.

• An expansion of the state’s law concerning low level THC oil, or medical marijuana, to add several new conditions and diseases that the oil can be used for, including Alzheimer’s, Tourette’s syndrome, Autism, epidermolysis bullosa, AIDS and severe or end stage peripheral neuropathy.

• New rules for using drones, including allowing the state and local com-

munities to pass ordinances designed to enforce rules set by the Federal Aviation Administration, or to ban the use of drones on public property.

• Longer prison sentences for people convicted of committing aggravated assault or aggravated battery against public safety officers.

• Banning private colleges and universities from adopting “sanctuary campus” policies and authorizing officials to withhold both state funding and federal funding administered by the state if a school violates the law.

Gwinnett Medical Center Health plans to change for graduates first residents many Medicaid recipients By andy miller

they’ve been in school all their lives. They are ready to get married, settle down,” Sikes said. “The correlation between where graduating doctors do their residency and where they settle down is very close.”

For years, Gwinnett didn’t offer residency programs. Many other Georgia hospitals, especially in rural areas, didn’t offer the programs either. Doctors left the county and, in many cases, the state to become physicians.

And they didn’t come back once they began their practices.

So far, it seems like Gwinnett Medical Center’s residency programs have already begun to ease that hemorrhaging pattern. Jones is one of five residents who specialized in family medicine. All five residents have chosen to stay in Gwinnett as they move forward with their practice.

One resident specializing in internal medicine also plans to stay on with GMC and another three residents in the hospital’s transitional program have committed to taking on another residency within the hospital.

Jones will start her practice in Snellville in September.

“I was recruited to stay in the hospital system, so I’ll be within Gwinnett Medical Center in a private practice in Snellville,” she said.

“It’s called Georgia Family Medical Care.”

Jones knew she wanted to stay in Gwinnett before GMC while she was finishing her doctorate at

the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine’s Georgia Campus.

Dr. Kevin Johnson, director of GMC’s family medicine residency program, said the doctorate student would frequently call his office to let him know that she wanted to be a part of the hospital’s first residency program.

“I was a medical student at Ga-PCOM and doing medical rotations at Gwinnett Medical Center,” Jones said. “I really enjoyed the doctors, the staff and just the energy of the hospital was positive.”

Jones said she also enjoyed the challenges of being a member of the first class of residents the hospital had ever seen. Hospital personnel needed to make a transition into teaching while they worked and patients needed to understand what residents were.

“For us, it was actually introducing an entire culture of learning,” Jones said. “So now the culture is there, and it’s bounds and leaps better.”

It wasn’t easy getting here, but clutching the certificate that made her a physician on Friday, Jones said she could see the whole process had been worth it.

“I’m not a mom yet, but from what I hear, you go through labor — hard, hard labor. But then, once you hold the baby, all of the sudden you forget all about the labor pains you’ve been through,” Jones said. “It’s been a 13-year labor. Now I’m holding the baby.”

to underscore the opportunity that members had during our open enrollment to make a selection but also the added opportunity over the next 90 days’’ to switch plans, Shekell said.

About 248,000 were assigned to the new CMO. That higher amount was created as a buffer to ensure that upon July 1, CareSource would have at least 200,000 members here.

Prior to the new contract, Medicaid members had the opportunity to switch plans on their anniversary date of joining the program.

This is the first foray into Georgia for CareSource, which has both Medicaid and insurance exchange offerings in Ohio, Indiana and Kentucky, along with Medicare Advantage plans in those states.

Bobby Jones, president of CareSource’s Georgia operation, said Thursday in a statement that the insurer has met Community Health’s criteria to determine readiness. “We are excited about serving families in the state of Georgia beginning July 1,” he said.

Community Health said families seeking more information about the CMOs can call 1-888-423-6765. Business hours are 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.

On Friday, Gwinnett Medical Center’s first class of residents walked across the stage at the Infinite Energy Forum to receive the certificates naming them official physicians.

“It is a 13-year journey.

I worked 13 years to get to this moment right here and this ceremony,” said Barbara Joy Jones, one of the 14-member inaugural class of residents who graduated the program.

It’s a big day for Jones — but it’s also a big day for Gwinnett Medical Center, the county and the state.

Gwinnett Medical Center launched its residency program in 2014 in response to a statewide doctor shortage.

Around that time, reports from the Association of American Medical Colleges predicted that Georgia could have the fewest number of doctors per capita in the United States by 2020 if something didn’t change.

For years, Wayne Sikes worked to solve that issue as a part of the Gwinnett Medical Center Hospital Board member. Today, Sikes serves as the chairman of the Gwinnett County Hospital Authority.

“We were always trying to find ways to bring good, quality doctors into our community,” he said. “So we were literally recruiting doctors.”

Partly, Gwinnett was hemorrhaging physicians because the county’s hospitals didn’t offer residency programs, the next step for students who have just graduated with doctorates from medical school. Residents work at hospitals with teaching programs, getting instruction from physicians on-site in real world situations.

Doctors can’t call themselves physicians until they’ve finished their residency. And Sikes said he realized that most young physicians tend to live and practice where they become physicians.

Rutledge suggested only buying the fireworks from a licensed vendor. The public should be on the lookout for federally outlawed firework devices being sold to the general public, including M80s, M100s, Blockbusters, Quarter-Sticks and Ash Cans.

“These devices are extremely dangerous, containing large quantities of explosive powder and may not include warning labels

or manufacturer identification,” Rutledge said. “They may be higher-priced than other consumer fireworks or novelty products.”

Residents should only light one device at a time and should keep a safe distance from burning fireworks. Once the fireworks have been used, residents should not try to re-ignite them. Instead, discard them in a bucket of water for several hours before throwing

them away.

Before leaving the burn site, remember to inspect the area where fireworks were used. Make sure no smoldering fires, hot embers or sparks from falling fireworks debris have lingered.

“Consumer type fireworks can generate temperatures well over 100 degrees Fahrenheit and could cause severe burn injuries if not handled properly,” Rutledge said.

The Gwinnett County animal shelter will be quarantining its cats for 14 days after officials found a dead kitten on Saturday.

“No felines will be impounded or allowed to leave the building pending instruction from the

Georgia Department of Agriculture,” according to an Animal Welfare and Enforcement Division press release.

An official found the dead kitten while cleaning up during a shift. Preliminary tests performed by a local veterinarian indicate the kitten suffered from feline panleukopenia, a highly contagious viral disease that causes dam-

age to the cells that line cats’ intestines, according to the American Veterinary Medical Association.

The University of Georgia will perform a necropsy on the kitten to confirm the diagnosis.

The shelter staff has already contacted everyone who has a pending cat adoption. Intake and adoptions of dogs will continue as usual.

said. “Because of vacancies and the timing of filling vacancies and things of that nature, there will be a savings in the police’s personnel budgets. What we’re anticipating now is maybe something closer to $400,000 versus the full $900,000 as we move forward, that’s kind of a placeholder.”

Another factor expected to significantly reduce the actual cost to staff traffic operations is a reduction in the number of officers deemed necessary around the stadium and The Battery, the mixed-use development next door to it.

LET FREEDOM RING!

“The numbers are constantly changing,” said Commissioner Bob Ott, whose district includes SunTrust Park. “We went from 60 to 29 officers, and 29 right now is the standard.”

Ott said the traffic operations were staffed by just 15 personnel on Father’s Day June 18. Those 15 included Chairman Mike Boyce and Ott himself.

“There weren’t as many officers because it was Father’s Day, so the chairman and I stepped in so we didn’t have to call more officers in away from their families,” he said.

Police: Department definining staffing numbers Reductions to the number of needed officers have been due to the police department and county taking into account factors such as pedestrian flow and differences in game attendance, says Cobb Police Capt. J.D. Ferrell.

“As we learn more about the games and the days of the week, and expected attendance, then we can reduce some of those num-

bers even more. If there’s only 20,000 coming today, we can move some people around and reduce those numbers down again. We’re always looking for ways to be even more efficient.”

Register, who was appointed chief earlier this month, said Friday the department continues to work to define how many officers are needed at every game day. “Certainly there’s been a decrease in officers because we’re able to look at the venue now and determine key locations where officers should be relating to traffic, and also the use of (Department of Transportation) technology.”

Register said while police departments who manage traffic flow around stadiums across the country release their officers on average 60 minutes after an event, Cobb’s length of time has been about a third less, about 41 or 42 minutes after a Braves game’s end. The chief said that reduction reflects the effectiveness of the county’s traffic plan for SunTrust Park.

That reduction also leads to lower personnel costs, Ferrell added.

“Twenty minutes, with that many officers going through there, adds up throughout the season,” he said. “The more efficient we are, the cheaper it is.”

Ott adds that while initial cost estimates were based on officers earning overtime for manning intersections, not all of the personnel expenses thus far have been paid at the higher rate.

“The assumption was made that it was all going to be overtime,” Ott said, adding that officers have since determined they can volunteer to work game days at their regular pay should they need certain days off but are out of overtime. Paying those officers at their regular rates, he says, has resulted in a cost savings.

The commissioner added that he has also spoken with Cobb Sheriff Neil Warren about deputies participating in traffic operations, which may lead to more regulartime personnel staffing the traffic operations.

Do you suffer from baggy or puffy eyelids?

This 4th of July, we’d like to honor the brave men and women who have defended our country and fought for our freedom.

Baggy eyelids do more than keep you from looking your best.

Your droopy eyelids can block your vision and keep you from seeing everything you should! As we age, the eyelid skin, just like other skin in the body, loses its elasticity and stretches. The orbital septum (the membrane that holds the normal fat that cushions the eye) also loosens allowing the fat to come forward making the eyelid look heavy and bulky. Sometimes the levator muscle (the muscle that lifts the eyelid) gets weak so the lid itself droops down (ptosis). Age and heredity are the main causes. Smoking, sun exposure, poor nutrition, seasonal allergies, manipulation of your eyelids during makeup removal or excessive stretching during contact lens insertion and removal also contribute to the problem. While the cosmetic industry offers a myriad of creams and serums claiming powers over time and gravity, surgical outcomes are far superior when compared. Blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery) removes the excess skin and displaced fat around your eyes to provide a truly immediate improvement. If you find that the appearance of your eyelids bother you, or if you feel that they are interfering with your vision, our highly specialized Ophthalmologists and dedicated surgical counselors can inform you about what options are available based on your specific needs and lifestyle. And don't think that women are the only ones having Blepharoplasty to boost their appearance.

A large portion of the procedures performed at CarlinVision are for men as well. One of the most important things to consider is the surgeon who will perform the procedure and what type of training and experience they can offer you. While plastic surgeons work on all areas of the body, ENT doctors on ears, noses and throats, dermatologists on skin and oral surgeons on the mouth, ONLY ophthalmologists concentrate exclusively on the eyes and eyelids, which is different and unique from all other parts of the body. If an uncommon complication occurs after eyelid surgery, other surgical specialists refer their patients to CarlinVision for care and treatment. Eyelid surgery is a life changing procedure, and you should carefully consider your available options before a commitment is made. If you think you might be interested, give us a call. We offer free consultations where we walk you through the process from deciding if eyelid surgery is right for you, to what to expect before, during and after surgery. In some cases, your eyelid surgery may even be deemed medically necessary due to interference with your vision. We can assist with filing your insurance and any testing needed.

Isakson bill to reform VA appeals process advances in Senate Legislation co-introduced by U.S. Sen. Johnny Isakson to improve the process veterans use to make appeals at the Department of Veterans Affairs cleared a key committee hurdle this past week.

The Senate Committee on Veterans Affairs passed the Veterans Appeals Improvement and Modernization Act of 2017, which Isakson, R-Ga., introduced with Sen. Richard Blumenthal, DConn. The bill will now head to the full Senate for Johnny Isakson a vote.

“It is critical that we address the unacceptable delays that veterans and their families face during the VA’s

Political Notebook

Curt Yeomans disability claims appeal process,” Isakson said in a statement. “We worked with the VA and veterans groups to put forth this bipartisan legislation that overhauls the current appeals process and puts in place a new system that allows veterans to choose the option that is right for them.

“I am pleased that my colleagues in the committee have made appeals modernization at the VA a priority. I hope the Senate

will quickly take up and pass this critical legislation to help ensure veterans are served in a timely and efficient manner.”

Isakson’s office said the bill would create three pathways that veterans can use when they file an appeal against benefits decisions made by the Veterans Benefits Administration.

The senator’s office used two years’ worth of data, from fiscal year 2015 to fiscal year 2017, to underscore the argument that improvements are needed.

During that time, the number of pending appeals increased by 20 percent, going from 380,000 to 470,000, according to Isakson’s office.

The appeals pathways available to veterans under this legislation include seeking a review by a regional office using the same evidence that the

original decision was based on; filing a supplemental claim with the regional office so additional information can be presented; or filing a direct appeal to the Board of Veterans Appeals, which could hold a hearing on the matter.

Perdue: Cancel August recess if progress on priorities isn’t made In an op-ed piece published in The Daily Signal recently, U.S. Sen. David Perdue called for an end to Congress’ traditional August recess if it can’t make headway on Republican priorities before the end of July.

Perdue said there are five priorities Congress should focus on, including completing the first phase of an Obamacare repeal, changing the tax code, passing a budget resolution that fits within the tax

code change reconciliation process, appropriating funds to keep the federal government running through Sept.

30 and addressing the country’s David Perdue national debt limit, which was hit in March.

Perdue said cancelling the August recess should be considered because the Senate has 35 working days left before the fiscal year ends on Sept. 30.

“Every single delay, both expected and unexpected, will damage our chances of success,” Perdue said in the oped. “If we haven’t made meaningful progress on these priorities by the end of July, then we should

pull the plug on the August recess.”

Why they even play the game WASHINGTON — In mathematics, when you’re convinced of some eternal truth but can’t quite prove it, you offer it as a hypothesis (with a portentous capital H) and invite the world, future generations if need be, to prove you right or wrong. Often, a cash prize is attached.

In that spirit, but without the cash, I offer the Krauthammer Conjecture: In sports, the pleasure of winning is less than the pain of losing. By any Benthamite pleasure/pain calculation, the sum is less than zero. A net negative of suffering. Which makes you wonder why anybody plays at all.

Winning is great. You get to hoot and holler, hoist the trophy, shower in champagne, ride the open parade car and boycott the White House victory ceremony (choose your cause).

But, as most Charles who have enKrauthammer gaged in competitive sports know, there’s nothing to match the amplitude of emotion brought by losing. When the Cleveland Cavaliers lost the 2015 NBA Finals to Golden State, LeBron James sat motionless in the locker room, staring straight ahead, still wearing his game jersey, for 45 minutes after the final buzzer.

Here was a guy immensely wealthy, widely admired, at the peak of his powers — yet stricken, inconsolable. So it was for Ralph Branca, who gave up Bobby Thomson’s shot heard ‘round the world in 1951. So too for Royals shortstop Freddie Patek, a (literal) picture of dejection sitting alone in the dugout with his head down after his team lost the 1977 pennant to the New York Yankees.

In 1986, the “Today Show” commemorated the 30th anniversary of Don Larsen pitching the only perfect game in World Series history.

They invited Larsen and his battery mate, Yogi Berra. And Dale Mitchell, the man who made the last out. Mitchell was not amused. “I ain’t flying 2,000 miles to talk about striking out,” he fumed. And anyway, the called third strike was high and outside. It had been 30 years and Mitchell was still mad. (Justly so. Even the Yankee fielders acknowledged that the final pitch was outside the strike zone.)

For every moment of triumph, there is an unequal and opposite feeling of despair.

Take that iconic photograph of Muhammad Ali standing triumphantly over the prostrate, semiconscious wreckage of Sonny Liston.

Great photo. Now think of Liston. Do the pleasure/pain calculus.

And we are talking here about professional athletes — not even the legions of Little Leaguers, freshly eliminated from the playoffs, sobbing and sniffling their way home, assuaged only by gallons of Baskin-Robbins.

Any parent can attest to the Krauthammer Conjecture. What surprises is how often it applies to battle-hardened professionals making millions.

I don’t feel sorry for them. They can drown their sorrows in the Olympic-sized infinity pool that graces their Florida estate. (No state income tax.) I am merely fascinated that, despite their other substantial compensations, some of them really do care. Most interestingly, often the very best.

Max Scherzer, ace pitcher for the Washington Nationals, makes $30 million a year. On the mound, forget the money. His will to win is scary. Every time he registers a strikeout, he stalks off the mound, circling, head down, as if he’s just brought down a mastodon.

On June 6, tiring as he approached victory, he began growling — yes, like a hungry tiger — at Chase Utley as he came to the plate. “It was beautiful,” was the headline of the blog entry by The Washington Post’s Scott Allen.

When Scherzer gets like that, managers are actually afraid to go out and tell him he’s done. He goes Mad Max. In one such instance last year, as Scherzer labored, manager Dusty Baker came out to the mound. Scherzer glared.

“He asked me how I was feeling,” Scherzer recounted, “and I said I still feel strong … I still got one more hitter in me.”

Asked Baker, demanding visual confirmation: “Which eye should I look at?”

Scherzer, who famously has one blue and one brown eye, shot back: “Look in the [expletive] brown eye!”

“That’s the pitching one,” he jokingly told reporters after the game.

Baker left him in.

After losing her first ever UFC match, mixed martial artist Ronda Rousey confessed that she was in the corner of the medical room, “literally sitting there thinking about killing myself. In that exact second, I’m like, ‘I’m nothing.’” It doesn’t get lower than that.

Said Vince Lombardi, “Winning isn’t everything. It’s the only thing.” To which I add — conjecture — yes, but losing is worse.

Charles Krauthammer’s email address is letters@charleskrauthammer.com.

Empty grades for empty actions Oh, barf. The Georgia Center for Opportunity — whatever that is — has come out with a report card, giving A’s and A-pluses to cut-and-run legislators who want to promote private school scholarships with public money rather than deal with the societal problems our schools face.

What makes their report card about as credible as a singing frog is they give the highly respected chairman of the state Senate Education Committee, Lindsey Tippins, R-Cobb County, a failing grade because he opposes the cockamamie scheme. Sen. Tippins, who served 12 years on the Cobb County Board of Education and as its chairman for three years, knows more and cares more about public education and those in the trenches than all the opportunistic cut-andrunners and their Kool-Aid drinking friends combined.

Give the Georgia Center for Opportunity an “F” for flummery. …

On my first day, I was feeling homesick. So I found a piece of wood and began carving it with my Swiss Army knife the way Daddy showed me.

Well, one of the counselors yelled at me to “freeze.” He took my knife, then patted me down. Then he marched me off to the camp director. The director said, who did I think I was bringing a lethal weapon, a symbol of pain and death, into her camp? Then she gave me a “verbal warning.”

The next day, Billy Johnson and I got bored, so we went into the woods to play. We turned a couple of branches into guns and made bullet noises as we fought the bad guys. Sure enough, we got marched off to the director. The director said there’s so much war in the world because boys like us are taught to “celebrate” it from an early age. She said we should be

pretty you make me smile from ear to ear.”

Well, sure enough, I was carted off to the director again.

She said I really crossed the line this time. She said my behavior was not only “boorish” but against the law. She said I should be sued for sexual Tom harassment.

But I was able to forget sending us home. about it the next day when we So I figured I better stay out played kickball. I kicked the of trouble. But then I got in ball really far and I got a grand trouble at lunch. I began to say slam. I was so happy, I said, grace out loud, just like you “We win! We win!” taught me, and I was carted off Sure enough, that got me to the director again. another trip to the director’s She wanted to know who office. This time she said I was I thought I was imposing my “insensitive” to the players beliefs on others. She said my on the other team. She said I actions showed how “ignohurt their “self-esteem.” Then rant” and “insensitive” Ameri- she asked me if Daddy was a cans are to other cultures; then Republican. she gave me another warning.

By this point, I figured I’d Believe it or not, things got better just keep to myself. So even worse the next day. We I got a jar out of the cafeteria were weaving baskets, and I and went into the woods. I was sitting next to Mary Alcaught a bumblebee in the jar lison, the prettiest girl I ever and put some flowers in there saw. to keep him happy. I was pok“Mary,” I said, “you’re so ing holes in the top to let fresh

This time, she was really mad. She said, who did I think I was giving a “death sentence” to an innocent bee? She said I had no respect for the Earth and that it was people like me who were responsible for climate change. She said I’ll be lucky if the world doesn’t end before I collect Social Security.

She said I better get with the program — that there is no place in this world anymore for “thoughtless,” “restless,” “insensitive” boys like me.

She said if I mess up one more time, she was kicking me out of the camp.

By the way, what is Ritalin?

Anyhow, you better plan on coming back to get me.

Tomorrow everybody is going for a hike in the woods. And I already picked some flowers to give to Mary Allison.

Grayson’s Taylor ready to lead ‘D’

By Paul Thomas

paul.thomas@gwinnettdailypost.com

Defense has been the staple of Grayson football’s recent reign, including last year when it won the 7A state championship.

This season the Rams will have to replace eight starters and several key contributors on defense. Defensive lineman Ryan Taylor will not just be one of the lone returning starters, but he’ll also take on a leadership role for the team.

“I’m extremely excited,” he said. “I took it on early in the season just as a little idea, but now it’s my heart right now.”

Last season Taylor played nose in the Rams’ 3-4 defense. He recorded 34 tackles.

This season he’s lining up on the outside as a defensive end. But his main role will be setting the tone for the team on and off the field.

“He provides a lot of vocal leadership, leadership by example, he’s had an outstanding summer so far,” Grayson head coach Christian Hunnicutt said. “He’s a person that’s always asking what are things that he can do better. He’s a pretty tough critic on himself and he does demand a lot out of himself.”

Hunnicutt thinks that the 6-foot-1, 280-pound Taylor is poised for a big senor year.

He has all the physical tools to be a dominant pass rusher and set the edge against the run.

“He is incredibly strong in the weight room and he is incredibly strong,” Hunnicutt said. “He has heavy, violent hands. I think he has a pretty good understanding of gap integrity. In terms of that, he’s done a lot of good things for us.”

After a solid junior campaign, college programs came calling for Taylor in the spring.

He received offers from Kansas State, Florida Atlantic, Troy and Arkansas State, with interest from several other schools.

On April 1 he verbally pledged to Arkansas State, but said he is still open to all schools and most haven’t stopped recruiting him.

But he is happy with his current commitment to the Wolves, who won him over during a visit last fall.

Maloof& Sons

Norcross head coach is enjoying having two sons on the football staff with him

By Paul Thomas There is no sign hanging over the Norcross football field house that says “Maloof and Sons.”

But make no mistake, it is very much the current home to the family business.

Keith Maloof is entering his 19th season as the Blue Devils head coach and his second straight year with both of his sons, Tyler and Tanner, working as assistants in the program.

Tyler is entering his fourth year with the program as the quarterbacks coach, while Tanner is entering his second season as a community coach working with the ninth-grade team.

“It’s been fun,” Keith said. “They’re learning the trade of how to be a high school football coach. It’s a little bit different. It was different for Tyler starting in because he had (been a graduate assistant) at Georgia for those years and you

he’ll have to continue to learn if he wants to do this for the rest of his career. For Tanner, coming in last year with the ninth-grade and doing a great job with football and baseball.”

The fact that Tyler and Tanner followed their father into coaching shouldn’t come as a surprise. Keith and his brother, Kevin, did the same thing.

Kevin coached for 26 years, including 20 at Dacula, and their late father, George B.

Walsh comes across pond for GAC’s intern program

By Christine Troyke

christine.troyke@ gwinnettdailypost.com

Cormac Walsh drained his savings to come over from Ireland to study with Greater Atlanta Christian’s strength and conditioning guru Gary Schofield.

The visa alone was more than $4,000 and involved filling out more than a dozen 10-page documents.

Walsh just finished getting a bachelor’s degree from Limerick Institute of Technology and was picked for Schofield’s highly selective summer mentorship program. The 21-year-old flew to Atlanta at the beginning of June and will spend three months learning from Schofield as one of GAC’s interning trainers.

The program is 10 years

Ireland.

“It’s an incredible honor for anyone to want to watch what we do, to think there’s valuable educational in it,” Schofield said.

“I have someone who’s willing to pay the cost and make the sacrifices needed.”

Walsh heard Schofield was speaking at a conference at his college in Ireland two years ago. It was of particular inter— GAC strength and conditionest because of the age of ing coach Gary Schofield on Schofield’s athletes. When Cormac Walsh, who came from Walsh was 15, he had an Ireland for the summer unqualified coach and ended up sustaining a seriold and each summer, ous injury.

It’s an incredible honor for anyone to want to watch what we do, to think there’s valuable educational in it. I have someone who’s willing to pay the cost and make the sacrifices needed.”

His days at GAC start early. Really early.

“I get up at about 3:45 in the morning and have to be here around 5:30,” Walsh said. “I’m doing pretty well so far, but it’s challenging, I’m not going to lie. I would have been a night owl before.

“It’s great to see all the sports as well. I never would have been exposed to American football, baseball, very little basketball.”

The football team, which is coming off a state finals appearance, trains from 8 to 10 a.m. with gym and field sessions. Then baseball, basketball and softball players have a similar workout from 10 a.m. to noon. By the second week, Schofield already had Cormac Walsh, 21, came over from Ireland to participate in Gary Schofield’s strength and conditioning internship

Stockbridge native Longshore takes unorthodox route to become voice of Atlanta United

By Luke Strickland Staff Correspondent

STOCKBRIDGE — Stockbridge native Jason Longshore didn’t set out to be one of the voices of Atlanta United.

Yet every match, Longshore can be heard on 92.9 the Game. Alongside play-by-play announcer Adam Schick, he is part of the Atlanta United radio team, serving as a color commentator and analyst for the broadcast.

Longshore’s journey to the booth has been a long, winding road, centered around one constant — his love of soccer. He has worked within the game in various roles since he graduated from the University of Georgia in the late 1990s, and those experiences prepared him for his current role.

“It was a mix of right place, right time, but also capitalizing on all the soccer work I’ve done since I was in college,” Longshore said regarding his gig with Atlanta United and 92.9 the Game.

his passion, but there was a slight problem — the rest of the country hadn’t caught up.

“Now soccer was in my world and I didn’t know really what to do with that because there wasn’t a professional league,” Longshore said. “It was real limited. I checked out every soccer book in the Clayton County Library System as a kid, just trying to learn as much as I Love at first sight could.”

he had started an internet radio show called “Soccer Down Here” with longtime friends Jarett Smith and Jon Nelson. The show focused on not only Atlanta United, but the rise of soccer in the Southern states.

“Soccer Down Here,” which has recorded more than 100 episodes and generates more than 2,000 listens per day, opened the door for Longshore to announce an Atlanta United preseason game in Savannah for ESPN Coastal.

Those with Atlanta United and 92.9 the Game were impressed, and reached out to Longshore the week of the first game to be a part of their radio broadcast team.

Longshore has had to learn on the fly, but his ability to relay his passion for the game to both new and long-time fans has made his transition to the booth relatively seamless.

“It really fits my personality well of being that soccer advocate for a number of years,” Longshore said. “That’s what I did for Soccer in the Streets, was introducing soccer to people. I try to take that tact when I’m doing a game. I want to be able to talk to hardcore fans who have followed the game for 20 years but I also want to make sure that new fans, which there are a lot of with Atlanta United, can come along and join the party, too. I don’t want to be exclusively talking to one audience. I think my experiences maybe gives me a leg up in some of that.”

True to his (grass) roots Over the past year, Longshore’s services have become coveted. However, he has made sure to return to his roots during any down time, covering high school sports in Clayton and Henry counties in a freelance capacity for the Clayton News and the

Henry Herald.

“Doing high school sports gives me an opportunity to cover other sports,” he said. “I’m a sports fan. I love sports and the power of sports, especially high school and youth competitive sports.

I’ve learned so much about life through it. You learn how to win, how to lose, how to be a good teammate — things that are so important in your life once you’re not playing anymore.

“Being able to follow these kids locally, your (Jonesboro High’s) M.J. Walkers and (Forest Park High’s) Avery Wilson — Avery Wilson really stood out to me, getting a chance to interview him,” Longshore said. “Such a good kid, and I was so happy to see him get a Division I deal at Boston College.

You start to kind of root for the guys, you want them to do well. You see them as good kids who can do more.”

At the forefront Longshore’s life has changed in many ways over the last few years, and in many ways, it hasn’t. He is still one of the strongest advocates for soccer in the South, and his new radio role has given him a greater platform to be so.

One thing that has changed has been passion among Americans for soccer, especially in the South.

Longshore said it’s like night and day since he was imitating Maradona in his backyard as a youngster.

“It’s crazy because it seems to keep changing,” Longshore said. “The last 10 years, I worked for Soccer in the Streets and was able to see an organization grow from working with a few hundred kids a year to a few thousand. That was great.”

Now, Longshore has new goals. His love for soccer combined with a strong work ethic has opened doors he never imagined, and he intends to make the most of his opportunity.

“Being able to work with Atlanta United, I never really thought commentary would be my path but it’s a great opportunity,” he said. “I feel like I’m learning more about it every game I do. I would love to be one of the top commentators in the south, covering the game and being a voice and an advocate for soccer at all levels. I want to use whatever notoriety I might have working with Atlanta United and doing those games and put it to good use.”

beefing up the Swarm’s defense with draft picks Bryan Cole, Connor Sellars and Leo Stouros. In free agency, he reeled in veteran goaltender Mike Poulin and defender John Ranagan.

The lone move he had to make to help the offense was to trade for veteran lefty Hall after all-rookie honoree Jesse King was injured over the summer and would miss the entire season. Hall scored 80 points with the Swarm — 60 of which came as assists.

“The body of John’s work over the last number of years has put him in the position to win this type of award,” head coach Ed Comeau said. “John had a vision, and he stuck with the vision. Our draft this year I thought was exceptional.”

Two coaches and two athletes from Gwinnett County were honored with year-end awards from the Georgia Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association.

Shipp shoots low round 64 to finish 6th at Dogwood

By Stan Awtrey Staff Correspondent

Greater Atlanta Christian graduate Benjamin Shipp didn’t win the Dogwood Invitational, but he will take away a bushel of benefits from his sixth-place finish in the amateur event at the Druid Hills Golf Club.

Shipp, a sophomore at N.C. State, lost any chance to win the tournament when he skied to a

74 on Friday.

He bounced back to shoot 64 on Saturday, the low score of the final round, and finished 15 under.

Ben “If I didn’t Shipp have that bad round on Friday, I’d be right in the mix,” he said.

The tournament was won by

Lloyd Jefferson Go, a recent graduate of Seton Hall, who shot 21 under and beat Georgia Tech’s Luke Schniederjans by a shot.

Shipp had not played well in his two previous tournament. He missed the cut at the Sunnehanna Amateur and came home to visit his coach, Mike Perpich, at RiverPines Golf Club.

“I struggled with everything,” Shipp said. “I came back and saw my coach and he got me

fixed up and feeling confident coming into the week. The past two weeks have been pretty tough. It just feels good to be in red numbers, especially going into the rest of the summer.”

Tied for third at 16-under 272 were 2015 champion Dawson Armstrong, Georgia Southern’s Steven Fisk and Austin Fulton, who will be a freshman this fall at Mississippi State.

“Sometimes it’s just not your

day,” said Armstrong, who closed with a 71. Fisk and Fulton both finished with 67s.

Tied for sixth with Shipp were Clemson’s Bryson Nimmer and Campbell graduate Gaston Berinotti.

Defending champion Charles Huntzinger of Peachtree Ridge shot 69 to finish 14-under and tied for ninth with Jacob Solomon, Andy Ogletree and Chandler Eaton.

Lingmerth holds one-shot lead Triplett, Perry

pulling away at U.S. Senior Open

The Sports Xchange POTOMAC, Md. — Sweden’s David Lingmerth overcame a rough performance on Saturday to exit the third round with a one-stroke lead at the Quicken Loans National in Potomac, Md. Lingmerth followed up consecutive rounds of 65 to card a 3-over-par 73 on Saturday at TPC Potomac at Avenel Farm.

The 29-year-old Lingmerth’s 7-under 203 for the tournament is one stroke better than Daniel Summerhays, who struggled with his putting game and finished with a 70 on Saturday. Summerhays is seeking his first PGA Tour victory in his 189th start this week.

Lingmerth is attempting to go wire-to-wire to record his second PGA Tour win, as he was victorious at the 2015 Memorial Tournament.

Lingmerth won a Web.com Tour event, the Neediest Kids Championship, at this venue in 2012.

“I haven’t had the wireto-wire scenario in my career, but a lot of great players have won tournaments that way and I would like to do it as well,”

The Sports Xchange

Lingmerth said. “I’m kind of feeling like I’m up for the challenge.”

Lingmerth sputtered out of the gate on Saturday, collecting a bogey on the first hole and finding the water at No. 4 en route to a double-bogey. A weather-related delay of approximately 90 minutes provided a break, but Lingmerth added two more bogeys and a birdie on the back nine to close out his round.

Summerhays is right on

Lingmerth’s heels. The 33-year-old is in contention for the first time since the Memorial Tournament, in which he led by three strokes after 54 holes before carding a final-round 78 to finish tied for 10th place.

“I struck the ball extremely well,” Summerhays said. “I’ve had a lot of great looks, so maybe I just need to persuade that ball into the cup a little bit more.”

Spencer Levin resides in third place at 5-under after

recording the best round of the day with a 65.

“It was the best round I’ve had all year by far,” Levin said after his sixbirdie performance. “It’s been a tough year, but the putts have been going in this week, which is obviously why I’m playing well.”

Curtis Luck (67), who is the reigning U.S. Amateur champion, and fellow Australian Geoff Ogilvy (74) are joined by South Korean Sung-hoon Kang (71) at 4-under.

PEABODY, Mass. — Kirk Triplett and Kenny Perry pulled away from the field in the third round of the U.S. Senior Open on Saturday at Salem Country Club in Peabody, Mass.

Triplett, who opened the major with a 62 on Thursday, remained on top of the leaderboard with a 4-under-par 66 for a 54-hole total of 15-under 195. That’s one shot better than Perry, whose thirdround 67 left him right on Triplett’s heels going into Sunday’s final round.

Brandt Jobe was a distant third at 9-under 201 after a sterling 62 on Saturday that matched the tournament record. He shot a 29 on the back nine.

Another two shots behind Jobe were Fred Couples and Tom Lehman, who posted 70s.

The highlights of Triplett’s round were making a bunker shot for an eagle at No. 6 and chipping in for birdie at

No. 9. He had only one bogey, at No. 7.

“I think what we probably both wanted to accomplish today was to get some cushion on the field,” Triplett said. “I think (we were) trying to keep pace with each other more so than the guys behind us.”

Perry fell out of a tie for the lead when he made bogey on the No. 18 after his approach landed in the rough around the green and he chipped past the hole.

Triplett and Perry had started the day at 11 under, a tournament record for 36 holes.

A 30-foot birdie putt at No. 16 pulled Perry into a tie for the lead after he had fallen two shots off the pace.

“It felt like match play,” Perry said. “The two of us have separated ourselves a little bit from the field and he kept putting pressure on. I’m going to have to really play good tomorrow to get ahead of him.”

It’s a big learning curve, learning a lot, just trying to do what I’m supposed to do to get better. Asking a million questions every chance I get, between my brother and my dad. It’s just a fun experience to be able to have that outlet all the time.”

Even with their similar paths to coaching together at Norcross, Keith said his two sons are very different coaches.

They have different approaches and personalities.

“Tyler is probably more — I think he got it from (Colorado State head coach and former UGA offensive coordinator Mike) Bobo more than anything — he might be more emotional about things happening during a game,” Keith said. “But he’s going to learn throughout the game, you’ve got to calm down a little bit and focus on what you need to see out there.

I think Tanner is more defensive-minded right now and does a good job with the linebackers and running backs.

“They are different, but I think they both have that same style — again like we’ve been taught, you can do anything you want to a player as long as you pat him on the back before he goes home and makes sure he knows you love him and they’ll come back and go at it for you again.”

As for Keith, his sons say he is the same regardless of the role he’s

playing. Whether it’s dad, coach or boss, he’s the same guy.

“It’s the same intensity,” Tanner said. “He tells us what do and he expects us to do it. He’s on us all the time to make sure that you’re doing what you’re supposed to do, like as a player. As a player I’d get in that 45-minute car ride home and it’d be, ‘What’d you do wrong?’ Going over it, and it’s the same way as a coach, ‘This is what you need to work on, this what you need to get better at.’ And different things like that.”

Last year the Blue Devils went undefeated in the regular season and 11-1 overall before falling to Lowndes in the second round of the Class 7A state playoffs.

This year they’ll be in the mix for the region crown once again, with all three Maloof boys on the sideline.

“For me, it’s a joy coming in every day,” Keith said. “… We’ve gotten together and we’re having fun, and as long as you win, you’re having fun.

Bottom line.

“They know that, it’s not just show up and do this, do that, they know that there’s a process and the thing about Norcross is the culture is there. These kids really work hard, and I think Tyler and Tanner have both bought in with the other coaches on how to work hard.”

Taylor said his aim for

the offseason was to work his quickness with the move outside, to better penetrate the gap against the pass and the run.

His goal, of course, is to bring a third state championship to Grayson. He knows that will start with

Schofield has a second intern coming this month from Ireland and another starting a new year-long program in August.

“We’re trying to explore and grow, too,” Schofield said. “We’re looking at ways we can meet the everchanging world of sports and coaching. And really try to do that the right way to produce the next level of coaches that can make an impact on students.

“That’s what got me involved in this (mentorship program). I saw people coming out that were powerful practitioners, but not great coaches.

I know the impact is going to come from the coaching and not the practice. That’s

the power.”

Many of Schofield’s interns have gone on to work in the professional and college ranks. One of the first, Chris Bailey, was a grad student from GCSU and ended up working for the San Diego Padres. He earned his doctorate and is now the head of the exercise science/strength and conditioning program at LaGrange College.

“The first couple of days, I was just standing back and thinking I didn’t know if I could do the fistbumps and the high-fives all the time.”

It turned out to be contagious, though.

“It works,” Walsh said.

“It does create an atmosphere. That’s a great thing to have here.

“The seniors take leadership over the younger kids and that’s been a change as well. Usually, back home, the coach takes everything.

Here, the students have a bit of leeway. If they see someone doing something wrong, they can correct it.

It creates a very good culture. It creates buy-in and all the things you want.”

The program’s demands haven’t left Walsh a lot of time yet to explore the city, but he has connected with the Atlanta Gaelic football club. Walsh has played since he was 4 or 5 and last summer worked

Swanson delivers in clutch Atlanta United Rookie’s RBI double boost Braves past A’s

ends road skid

By Eric Gilmore

The Sports Xchange

The Sports Xchange

OAKLAND, Calif. — After a rough start to his season, Atlanta Braves rookie shortstop Dansby Swanson got hot in June, and he didn’t cool off when the calendar flipped on Saturday.

Swanson hit a tiebreaking RBI double in the seventh inning and another one in the ninth inning, leading the Braves to a 4-3 victory against the Oakland Athletics at the Oakland Coliseum.

“Just a learning curve and trying to get where I need to be personally, mentally,” said Swanson, who was drafted No. 1 overall by Arizona in 2015.

“Just trying to become the best version of myself every day. Taking the positives and moving forward with those and taking the negatives and learning from them again. Ups and downs. This game’s hard.

Just trying to learn each day and become better.”

Swanson was batting .185 at the end of May, but he’s raised his batting average to .229. He hit .296 in June. Batting ninth in the order on Saturday, he went 2-for-4 with two RBIs and had his 12th multi-hit game of the season.

“He had a really good June,” Braves manager Brian Snitker said. “I know he and (hitting coach Kevin Seitzer) have been working, and he made some adjustments. He keeps working and he keeps his head and believes in himself. He has confidence in his abilities and we’re seeing it.”

Braves knuckleballer R.A. Dickey allowed one run over six innings in a no-decision. Dickey struck

out four and walked three.

He has allowed a combined two runs over 20 innings over his past three starts, going 2-0.

“I had a good enough knuckleball where I was getting a lot of weak contact,” Dickey said. “Even the inning they scored their run, it was little nubber up the middle, a ground ball to the right side, a bleeder to left. So that’s kind of how I gauge how the knuckleball was, how well they were squaring it up.

They only really squared up a couple.”

A’s right-hander Paul Blackburn received a nodecision despite allowing one unearned run on three hits over six innings in his major-league debut.

Blackburn, who was called up Saturday from TripleA Nashville, struck out four, walked one and threw 96 pitches. He pitched in front of a large contingent of family members and friends from his hometown of Brentwood, some 45

miles northeast of Oakland.

“Honestly, this is probably one of the best days of my life,” Blackburn said.

“I’m just trying to take it all in. I’m not really sure it’s me yet, but it was a lot of fun.”

Blackburn made a strong impression on A’s manager Bob Melvin.

“I thought his composure was great,” Melvin said. “From the very start you worry about nerves a little bit, but it didn’t seem like there were any.”

The Braves have won the first two contests of the three-game interleague series and will go for the sweep Sunday afternoon.

Atlanta took a 2-1 lead in the seventh when Danny Santana, the No. 8 hitter, blooped a one-out single, stole second and third and scored on Swanson’s double.

The Braves increased their lead to 3-1 in the eighth. Nick Markakis hit a leadoff double and scored with one out from third on

Matt Adams’ sacrifice fly.

But the A’s pulled even with two runs in the bottom of the eighth. After reliever Arodys Vizcaino walked Jed Lowrie, Khris Davis crushed his next pitch 458 feet off a window in a luxury suite far beyond and above the fence in leftcenter field. Davis’ homer was his team-high 22nd of the season.

The Braves moved ahead 4-3 in the ninth with an unearned run. A’s rookie shortstop Franklin Barreto booted Santana’s ground ball with one out for his second error of the game.

Santana stole second and scored on Swanson’s double down the left field line off Santiago Casilla (1-3).

Jim Johnson, a former Athletic, pitched a perfect ninth with two strikeouts for his 18th save of the season and second straight against Oakland.

“I think it just kind of shows what this team is about,” Swanson said of the ninth-inning rally.

Atlanta is 8-5-2 when scoring first.

COLUMBUS, Ohio Columbus had a chance — Hector Villalba scored for the equalizer in the 56th minute, but Federico in each half and goalkeeper Alec Kann needed Higuain’s header from deep in the box off a to make only one save while also contributing an cross by Harrison Afful went off the left post. assist as Atlanta United defeated Columbus Crew Higuain had a four-game SC 2-0 on Saturday night goal streak stopped as Kann posted his fourth in Columbus, Ohio.

Summer

Outdoor movies prove popular attractions across Gwinnett

By Keith Farner

Call them Flicks on the Bricks, Popcorn in the Park or Movies Under the Stars. In Gwinnett each summer, those titles mean it’s time for outdoor movies. So bring a blanket, chair and get ready for dusk.

Lately, other attractions such as food trucks and live music have joined the events.

“It’s unique to our event calendar because, unlike concerts, you can easily have conversations with your neighbors or choose to catch a blockbuster from a previous summer in a unique environment,” said Kim Towne, an events coordinator with the city of Suwanee.

“Movies Under the Stars harkens back to the classic experience of drive-in movies.”

Several Gwinnett cities offer the flicks and open it to an entire evening on the lawn, town center or town green. The city officials said they all choose the movies based on ratings to ensure a family-friendly experience, but they all offer a variety of plots and genres. Lawrenceville, for example, this summer scheduled “Sing,” “Rogue One: A Star Wars Story,” “Smokey and the Bandit” and “The Lego Batman Movie.”

Many encourage people to bring chairs, blankets and snacks, with beer and wine purchases available from nearby merchants.

Duluth previously had a double feature, but this year has tweaked the event to include characters from the movie around Town Green while free inflatables line

the skies.

“By cutting Flicks on the Bricks back to once a month, we are able to better ‘theme’ the event by adding characters that are in the movie,” said Madison Chucci, event coordinator with the city of Duluth. “During Food Truck Fridays before the movie begins, they walk around and interact with people, pose for photo-ops and get people excited for the upcoming show.”

Snellville this summer has shown “How to Train Your Dragon,” and plans to show “Nim’s Island” and “Home” on July 8 and Aug. 26 at T.W. Briscoe Park.

“They have been a staple of our summer events calendar for years,” Snellville spokesman Brian Arrington said. “We look

at it as a great way to promote family fun in a safe environment that is free. It also gives us an opportunity to showcase the park and keep residents connected with the city.”

Because planning is done far in advance, cities don’t typically compare lists of which movies are shown in neighboring venues.

That leads to some duplicates throughout the summer, such as this year with “Moana” and “Rogue One: A Star Wars Story.”

“We try to choose movies that have recently been released from restrictions, preferably that did well at the box office and has a broad appeal,” Towne said. “We also try to do classic, quotable movies, such as ‘The Sandlot’ and the upcoming ‘Princess Bride.’”

Trout Unlimited honors Lilburn second-grade teacher The Upper Chattahoochee Chapter of Trout Unlimited honored local educational institutions that participated in Trout in the Classroom activities this year, including a Gwinnett second-grade teacher.

Karen Hoban of St. John Neumann Regional Catholic School in Lilburn was among the recipients honored at a recent event where participants described their experiences, their students’ experiences and the learning that took place raising trout in the classroom.

In 2012, Hoban began a partnership with Trout Unlimited, an organization committed to keeping rivers and watersheds safe from environmental threats. She and her students participate in the Trout in the Classroom project where students raise trout from eggs to fingerlings and then release them into the Chattahoochee River during a spring field trip.

The third-grade team scored 183 points out of a possible 200 in the last of three meets this year to finish 10th in the nation.

Competing in the Blue Division of the WordMasters Challenge, third-grader Damian Moss and fifth-grader Clay Refling each earned a perfect score of 20 in the recent meet.

of the year include third grader Brian Zhou and fifth grader Gavin Wilson. The students were coached by Lydia Dartt for third grade and Fran Cone for fifth.

The WordMasters Challenge is an exercise in critical thinking that first encourages students to become familiar with a set of interesting new words that are considerably harder than grade level and then challenges them to use those words to com-

plete analogies expressing various kinds of logical relationships. Working to solve the analogies helps students learn to think both analytically and metaphorically.

Gwinnett schools honored by library associations The Georgia Library Media Association and the Georgia Library Association have honored Peachtree Ridge High,

Jones Middle and Ivy Creek Elementary for having “Exceptional Library Media Programs.”

The Judy Serritella Exemplary/Exceptional Library Media Program was created to recognize those library media programs that empower students to be critical thinkers, enthusiastic readers, skillful researchers, and ethical users of information both in vision and in practice.

Exceptional library media programs are ones that demonstrate these characteristics in a consistent and effective manner. Exemplary library media programs go one step beyond and are a model for innovation, student empowerment and leadership in the school library community.

the music classroom. It integrates subjects from across the curriculum into a standards-based music classroom where students use instruments, movement and voice to develop their academic skills and knowledge.

These six teachers have undergone years of training to complete Levels I, II, and III prior to qualifying for the Masters Level coursework. Each of the previous levels is a 60-hour course, thus the teachers completed a minimum of 180 hours of training before they started the Masters Level curriculum.

Traffic scamming in suburban utopia

In one corner of our fair county lies a lovely little hamlet known as — well, let’s not mention names.

Oft have I marveled, while passing through that charming village, at its well-shaded streets, neatly manicured medians and pleasant parklands. I’ve also noted the size of its police force, relative to population.

And I’ve wondered: How do they afford all that?

A few months ago, I learned the answer, which is that those two features — the upscale amenities and the number of patrol cars — are directly related.

The occasion was a visit to traffic court in one of the town’s nice, new, modern buildings, constructed just for that purpose and designed to accommodate more than a hundred people waiting to plead their cases. On that particular day, an otherwise unremarkable Thursday, every seat was filled.

I found myself there because, a couple months earlier, I’d been cited for “running” a red light — even though the light was yellow when I entered the intersection, and I was more than halfway through before it turned red.

Of course, if it had been a normal yellow light, I should have been all the way through.

Thinking about the timing led me to conclude, as I told the ticketing officer, that it must be the shortest yellow light in history.

He was unmoved. Nevertheless, I believed I had been cited unfairly and decided to fight it.

In preparation for my day in court, I researched the national standard for yellow lights, which turns out to be about five seconds. I also went back to that intersection, parked at a gas station, and timed the yellow for 10 consecutive cycles.

It averaged just under three seconds.

Armed with several videos, and now believing myself

Rob Jenkins fully in the right, I took a day off work and showed up at the appointed time — only to find myself awash in a sea of humanity. When my name was finally called, my “day in court” turned out to be more like two minutes with a harried city “prosecutor,” which went something like this: Prosecutor: You’re charged with running a red light.

Me: I didn’t do it, and I think I can prove it.

Prosecutor: We can knock the charge down to a non-moving violation. Your fine will be $122 instead of $178, with no points against your license.

Me: But I didn’t do anything wrong.

Prosecutor: You’re welcome to come back next month and tell that to the judge.

Me: So I have to take another day off work? What if I lose?

Prosecutor: Then you’ll have to pay the $178, plus you’ll get the points.

Me: Where do I pay the $122?

As you can see, this is a highly organized, well-thoughtout, perfectly legal and extremely lucrative scam. You’re ticketed for some dubious “violation” and then they’ve got you over a barrel.

But, hey, at least it’s a very nice barrel.

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

Lane is an absolutely gorgeous medium hair dilute calico. She was living outdoors in a situation where she and several other cats were about to lose their home. They were trapped by one of our volunteers, vetted and brought to the shelter to find loving homes.

She is a little shy but is warming up to people quickly. She is quiet and even tempered. Lane just needs someone to love her for the first time in her life.

Lane’s adoption fee has been sponsored, so she is fee free. She has been spayed and given age appropriate vaccinations, dewormed, given flea/tick prevention, disease testing for FeLV & FIV, a 24Petwatch microchip, and her adopter will receive 30 days of Pet Emergency Insurance.

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

‘Impeccable service’ Rainbow Village official Yancey receives humanitarian award From Staff Reports

A statewide physicians group recently honored Rainbow Village’s COO with its prestigious humanitarian award.

The Georgia Physicians Group of Indian Heritage presented its 2017 Humanitarian award to the Rev. Nancy Yancey.

GAPI is a group of more than 1000 Indian physicians who award their humanitarian award to “one merited individual with substantial humanitarian accomplishment out of the dozens of nominations (that) come from its members,” according to a press release.

One member of the group’s Board of Trustees, Dr. Indran Indrakrishnan, nominated Yancey for the award this year after serving on Leadership Gwinnett with her.

“He was very impressed with Rainbow Village’s impeccable service to less fortunate families,” according to a press release.

Since then, she’s helped transform the organization from a single-story house in Norcross to an $8.8 million apartment complex with a state-of-the-art community center in Lawrenceville.

“Speaking on behalf of GAPI, (Indrakrishnan) said that GAPI is humbled to honor Rev. Nancy Yancey with this year’s Humanitarian Award for her relentless work to help the homeless families with children in Gwinnett County,” according to the press release.

About two weeks ago, Yancey announced that she’ll be retiring at the end of this year. “(Indrakrishnan) stated that he and the Gwinnett County residents are already feeling sad to see Rev. Nancy Yancey retire at the end of the year,” according to the release.

The smells of yesteryear trigger memories It was after a speaking engagement in Chattanooga when I was signing books that an arm slipped over my shoulders from the back, and a woman leaned forward to press her cheek against mine.

Before I saw her, I smelled her fragrance.

I stopped, my Sharpie paused inches above a book, and I drifted back for a moment to the days when I took that scent for granted. I inhaled deeply then turned to see my sweet friend, Martha Martin.

“Are you wearing Youth Dew?” I asked.

She smiled and nodded. “It’s what I’ve worn for many years.”

someone at church had given her a box of Estee Lauder’s Youth Dew bath powder. From then on, Mama used it every time she showered. I gave her a box for Mother’s Day and, usually, one at Christmas. I am grateful Ronda for that because I will Rich always be able to have a beautiful scent connected “That’s all Mama ever to Mama. wore.” I sighed and alThere are others that lowed myself a moment aren’t as beautiful such to remember and miss her as pinto beans cooking, before turning back to the grease in the kitchen’s books. air and whatever was For a woman raised in the cheapest hairspray the mountains with no she could buy.

for her, and Mama was so proud of having an expensive hairspray.

There are times I can close my eyes and smell the hot steam and soap from Daddy’s showers.

As he dressed for church or the funeral home — the only times he dressed up — he would open the bathroom door, soap up his face and shave. Then, he splashed on Jade East, a dime store aftershave.

It is the mixture of those smells that brings such nostalgia. After he died, I found half a bottle of Jade East in the medicine cabinet, and I brought it home. From time to time, when I want to remember, I pull out that bottle,

open the top and think back to the precious days when everyone I loved was still alive.

Those days smelled so good.

The memory of smell, they say, is our strongest.

I believe that. I can walk into a basketball gym and smell popcorn and hot dogs, which transports me back to high school years and then my early career as a sports writer.

Car grease and Lava soap evoke other memories of Daddy, and the scent of honeysuckle on a summer’s day takes my hand and leads back down the trail of childhood summers when I waded in the creek or ran barefooted through the pasture.

“There’s someone I want you to meet,” my friend, Jane White, said one day. “I’m having a little get-together. Please come.”

Jane’s husband was an Army Ranger, and he has come to know an extraordinary war hero, Steve Baskis, who lost his sight when a bomb hit his vehicle while on patrol in Iraq. Though he is blind, he is an adventurer who

has climbed the world’s toughest mountains and started a nonprofit to encourage those who are without sight to keep moving, living and finding adventure. (Please, visit www.blindendeavors.org to learn more about this mission.)

“Did your other senses get stronger when you lost your sight?” I asked Steve.

A wistful look flickered across his face. “I lost my sense of smell, too.” The bomb had taken his sight and destroyed his olfactory nerve, as well. Food, without smell, is tasteless unless extremely spiced. Of all the senses, what he misses most is the smell of his mother and her clothes.

I understand. There is no memory of smell more comforting than a mother’s scent to her child.

What a tremendous sacrifice of comfort he gave for our country.

When to and when not to tell the boss

494040-1

To tattle or not to tattle, that is the question, my friends.

When you see a coworker making errors, how do you handle it?

Ignore it? Bring it to their attention right away? Sit on it? Or do you tell the boss?

The answer is, it depends. Here are a few questions to ask: 1. Is this urgent?

If someone is being rude to a customer, you may want to politely intervene. Perhaps they’re having a bad day and need some backup. If your coworker is about to show up to a client meeting drunk, it’s your job to make sure they don’t walk into the conference room. Some situations will require your immediate action. In other cases, it’s less urgent. We often have annoying habits and don’t even realize it until someone points it out.

Grant people the space to grow and help them as a peer.

2. What’s the impact?

If you think your coworker’s sloppy desk reflects an undisciplined attitude, it’s probably not your business. But if their lunch wrappers are spilling onto the service counter, or they ask you three times for the form they keep losing, it’s affecting your organization.

Try addressing it with them directly. Rather than lecturing them on the consequences of their habits, ask them: What impact do you think this has on our clients? Or, how does this make you look when you repeat requests? Don’t be condescending, be inquisitive.

3. What’s the frequency?

We all have off days; well-intended people make mistakes. As one of my favorite clients says, “We’re a bank. No one is going to be bleed out on the table today.”

Grant people some grace.

It’s also important to recognize, people who never make mistakes, never take risks. When you make a mistake, it’s powerful for a peer (or your boss) to say, “Don’t worry about it. If you’re not making mistakes you’re not trying hard enough.”

Forget Perfect

Lisa McLeod 4. Is it intentional?

A peer cheating on expense reports is very different from someone forgetting to turn in receipts. A coworker who routinely ignores policy because they’re taking shortcuts is different from someone who is untrained. Ask yourself, is this intention? Where is this on the scale of honest mistake to moral lapse in judgment? If it is intentional and you feel empowered to address to it, do so directly. You can say something like, “I noticed you writing down extra meals, what’s up with that?” Or, “why aren’t you following the safety rules?” Don’t immediately assume bad intent.

5. How would you want it handled?

Imagine yourself as the coworker; what would you want your peer to do. Now put yourself in your boss’s shoes. If it’s high on impact scale or a severe moral lapse, the boss will want to know.

When you talk to your boss, treat it as reporting, not a complaint session.

Stick to the facts and don’t make it about you.

Make it about the behavior. You don’t need to include every little detail, just enough for your boss to get the picture. Reiterate that your primary concern is the success of your team or organization. After the conversation, don’t keep badgering them about it or ask if the person is going to get fired.

Once you’ve told your boss, move on, and don’t let it have a chilling effect on the rest of the day.
