Child exploitation operation nets 76

BY ISABEL HUGHES

isabel.hughes @gwinnettdailypost.com

Two Gwinnett residents were arrested as part of an eight-state investigation, titled Operation Southern Impact II, to curb child exploi-

tation that yielded 76 arrests total, the Georgia Bureau of Investigation announced Friday. Thirteen children were also rescued or identified as victims.

The operation, which was coordinated by nine Internet Crimes Against

Children Task Forces in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Maryland, North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia and West Virginia, focused on “persons who possess and distribute child pornography and those who are sexually exploiting

children in other ways using technology and the internet,” a GBI news release said.

Those arrested range in age from 17 — a Forsyth County student from Suwanee, Forsyth County Schools spokeswoman Jennifer Caracciolo con-

firmed to the Daily Post — to 72.

According to the GBI, the operation’s planning began about four months ago and “culminated in two days of investigative actions to include search warrant executions, undercover operations

and arrests” in the eight states.

A total of 222 law enforcement and prosecutorial agencies participated in the operation.

Five-and-a-half years ago, a young Winder boy captivated the state, nation and then the world after suffering a severe brain injury when a limb fell on the toddler’s head while he was playing outside at the Cribs to Crayons day care facility in Winder.

On Thursday, 7-yearold Tripp Halstead’s supporters learned through social media that the boy had died from an infecTripp Halstead tion after a brief stint in the hospital, with his parents by his side.

“His little body was just done fighting this last infection,” his mother, Stacy Halstead, wrote in a Facebook post on Tripp Halstead Updates, a page that has more than 1.3 million followers. “His little heart gave out. This winter was brutal for him.

the eight annual Suwanee American Craft Beer Fest on Saturday.

Clad in green and with beverages in hand from more than 350 breweries, guests celebrated St. Patrick’s Day. “All week we had been watching the weather and we had a running joke that we wouldn’t talk about it to

make sure we didn’t jinx it,” festival marketing director Rachel Pillow said.

Despite an early morning shower, people came out in droves.

on the right shoulder, the Expedition entered the gore area and struck the patrol car in the rear bumper with its front end. After initial impact, both vehicles traveled into the I-85 South entrance ramp lane of travel and came to an uncontrolled rest.”

A deputy who was parked nearby on the interstate caught the incident on video, which the sheriff’s office later posted to Facebook, calling it a “completely

avoidable” crash.

“Don’t drink and drive.

Don’t use drugs and drive.

Don’t text and drive.” said Deputy Shannon Volkodav, spokeswoman for the agency. She included the hashtags #JustDrive and #BackTheBlue in her post.

The deputy in the wrecked car, who has been identified as 51-year-old Thomas Tharp of Lawrenceville, was injured and transported to Gwinnett Medical Center, GSP said.

The extent of his injuries were not immediately known.

Neither Mendez-Escobar nor his three passengers were injured. He was charged with failure to maintain lane, driving within a gore or median, driving in violation of license restrictions, texting while driving and DUI — alcohol.

He was booked into the Gwinnett County Jail, where he later posted a $96 bond.

Forsyth County is ranked as Georgia’s healthiest county for the sixth straight year.

The 2018 County Health Rankings, released Wednesday, again showed affluent suburban counties as Georgia’s healthiest.

After Forsyth, which is northeast of Atlanta, the next four are Oconee, Cherokee, Fayette and Gwinnett counties. They are followed by Columbia, Cobb, Harris, Paulding and Coweta.

Those top 10 are the same as last year’s, but in slightly different order.

The ninth annual rankings are produced by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and the University of Wisconsin Population Health Institute. The rankings look at factors other than medical care, such as education, transportation and poverty, that influence how long and how well people live.

It’s not surprising that the unhealthiest counties predominantly are in rural areas, and many lie in the southern part of the state.

The five Georgia counties in the poorest health,

starting with least healthy, are Quitman, Warren, Crisp, Turner and Early.

All are in Southwest or South Georgia except for Warren, which is in the eastern part of the state.

Last year’s rankings also had Quitman as the least healthy, followed by Randolph, Clay, Jefferson and Early.

“We can’t be a healthy, thriving nation if we continue to leave entire communities and populations behind,” said Dr. Richard Besser, president and CEO of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. “Every community should use their County Health Rank-

ings data, work together, and find solutions so that all babies, kids, and adults — regardless of their race or ethnicity — have the same opportunities to be healthy.”

Forsyth County’s statistics include an 11 percent uninsured rate, vs. 16 percent statewide; low rates of premature deaths, teen births and STDs; and just 7 percent of children living in poverty, vs. 23 percent statewide.

At the other end of the list, Quitman has a high rate of premature deaths and of low birthweight babies. Its uninsured rate is 19 percent, and 45 percent

of its children are living in poverty.

The authors of the report card said that children in poverty are less likely to have access to quality schools, and have fewer chances to be prepared for higher-wage jobs.

In Georgia, 23 percent of children live in poverty, compared with 20 percent nationally.

“This year’s county health rankings highlight the tremendous health disparities that persist in Georgia by ZIP code, race and ethnicity,’’ said Marsha Davis, an associate dean at the University of Georgia’s College of Public Health. “One of the key drivers of health status is poverty.

“Until we improve the social and physical environments in which all Georgians live, their income, and their educational achievement, it is unlikely that we can improve their health.

This will require a close collaboration with public health, education, the private sector, economic development, chambers of commerce and other groups who may not have traditionally worked together.”

Police looking for car break-in suspect

By IsaBel HugHes

isabel.hughes @gwinnettdailypost.com

A suspect in a string of car break-ins and credit card frauds across metro Atlanta is on the loose, and Gwinnett police are asking for help identifying him.

The suspect, a black man who appears to have a mustache, is wanted by the Cobb County, Peachtree City and Gwinnett County police departments, as well as the Dawson County Sheriff’s Office, said Gwinnett Sgt. Jake Smith, a spokesman for the department.

“The suspect has committed several car breakins and used the victims’ credit cards to purchase gift cards at local stores,”

Smith said. “(Gwinnett police department’s) case is part of a series that has occurred all over metro Atlanta.”

Smith said the break-ins have occurred at a variety

of locations, including parks, libraries and medical facilities, though all the gift cards have been purchased at grocery stores.

A silver SUV was used in multiple cases, and in

the Dawson County case, a “female person of interest was seen with the suspect,” Smith said. The male suspect appears to be wearing the same clothes in most of the cases.

Seventh Congressional District candidate Carolyn Bourdeaux has received a high-profile endorsement from a former Georgia secretary of state and U.S. senator in her bid to unseat Rep. Rob Woodall, R-Ga. Former Sen. Max Cleland is backing Bourdeaux in the election. It’s one of the highest profile endorsements yet in a race that is expected to be high-profile. Bourdeaux is one of six Democrats running to defeat Woodall, who also faces a challenger, Shane Hazel, from within the Republican Party.

Bourdeaux has also been endorsed by former Ambassador Andrew Young and U.S. Rep. Hank Johnson, D-Ga. “I am honored to endorse the candidacy of Carolyn Bourdeaux for Georgia’s 7th Congressional District,” Cleland said in a statement released by Bourdeaux’s

campaign. “Her work to improve health care for millions of Georgians and her efforts to help the average Georgian through the Great Recession has been impressive to me.

“I’m sure it will be impressive to the citizens of the 7th Congressional District so much so that they will want to send her to Washington. To represent them. She has my full support.”

The profile of the race for this congressional seat rose last year after the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee named it one of its 2018 election targets. That puts a spotlight on who is donating to campaigns and who is endorsing

which candidate.

Cleland served one term in the U.S. Senate, from 1997 to 2003, after serving four terms as Georgia’s secretary of state before that.

He is also a Vietnam War veteran who lost both his legs and his right arm during the war. He served as the head of the U.S. Veterans Administrator while Jimmy Carter was president as well.

“I am delighted to have the support of Sen. Cleland,” Bourdeaux said in a statement. “His long standing commitment to public service is the sort of dedication we need to revitalize our democracy.

One of the reasons I stepped up to run is because this is critical moment in American politics. We need to reclaim our values and our compassion.

“The people of this district deserve a functioning government in Washington and a representative that will listen to the diverse voices of this district and to fight for the interests of all its constituents.”

Volunteer drivers donate their time and the use of their vehicle so patients can receive the cancer-related treatments they need. Drivers also provide encouragement and support to the patients.

“The American Cancer Society has nearly 10,000 Road To Recovery drivers nationally, but the number of requests outweigh the number of volunteers able to provide rides,”

Heyl said. “Due to the lack of drivers, these transportation needs can go unmet in many communities.”

The American Cancer Society screens and trains all volunteer drivers and coordinates the rides for patients. All drivers must have a valid driver’s license, a good driving record, access to a safe and reliable vehicle, computer access and proof of car insurance.

Although they may be for sale at local garden centers, avoid planting cold-sensitive plants until after the danger of frost has passed in the middle of April. Plant seeds, such as squash, cucumbers and beans, after May 1, when the soil temperatures are warmer. Before then, the colder soil temperatures may delay germination of these seeds. You can start the seeds indoors in small containers, such as peat pots, and then plant them outdoors. Transplant seedlings can also be purchased at local garden centers.

Resist the temptation to put out plants that are not tolerant to below freezing temperatures now. In a few weeks, the risk of a freeze will be gone, and the planting can begin. A little patience will pay off in time.

The first part of this winter was quite cold with lows in the teens and a couple of winter weather events. Then the weather became abnormally warm, causing many plants to begin blooming thinking spring has arrived. However, the risk of a late season frost has not passed. The average last date of freezing temperatures in our area is April 15. Planting anything that is not coldhardy before that date is at risk of suffering freeze damage.

Most spring flowering shrubs and trees, such as fruit trees, set their buds in the late summer and fall of the previous year.

These unopened buds have more significant resistance to the cold temperatures.

However, newly opened flowers and young tender vegetative growth is susceptible to freezing temperatures. Peaches, apples and blueberries, major commercial fruit crops in Georgia, are among the earlier flowering plants and can be damaged by freezing temperatures.

Whooping cough can drag on Dear Dr. roaCH: Thirty years ago, when I was in my 40s, I was diagnosed with bronchiolitis, which was considered a disease of young children.

When lying down in bed at night, I coughed to clear my rattly chest and suddenly could not breathe at all. It was terrifying, and just before passing out, my breath returned with the bray of a donkey. This happened several times over several nights, although never in the daytime. Thereafter, for weeks and weeks, I coughed until I vomited, I couldn’t catch my breath, my ribcage hurt, and my face and eyes were puffed up from the strain of the coughing. For that, I was given steroids, I believe. It was about six weeks from the first little tickle in my throat until the horrible experience ended.

My question is, could this have been whooping cough?

— E.O. anSWer: It’s impossible to be sure now, but I think it’s very likely it was whooping cough. I have had letters from people whose symptoms lasted up to six months. It’s quite horrible.

The steroids sometimes can help with the airway inflammation, but only early and appropriate antibiotics can really stop the six weeks to three months of intense coughing.

Dear Dr. roaCH: Recently, I had an ultrasound on my gall bladder and liver, mainly to check on a polyp found on my gall bladder six months ago. There was no change in size, so my doctor isn’t concerned.

However, the ultrasound showed that I have an abdominal aortic dilation/ aneurysm (2.9 cm). My doctor suggested that I follow a healthy diet and lose some weight (I’m overweight by about 30 pounds). She said I’ll have another ultrasound in a year. After looking up the condition online, it sounds rather serious.

— K.M. anSWer: The aorta is the largest blood vessel in the body, coming directly off the left ventricle of the heart, arching in the top of the chest to provide blood to the head and arms, then progressing down the body, providing blood to the abdominal organs before it divides into the femoral arteries (to the legs) at about the level of the belly button.

The aorta can become enlarged (dilated), and when large enough, it is referred to as an “abdominal aortic aneurism.” Rupture of an AAA is disastrous: It usually is fatal, so when it is recognized, it is watched and intervention is undertaken before it becomes a high risk for rupture. AAAs are more likely in men, and the major risk factors are smoking, atherosclerosis (fatty deposits and calcium in the blood vessels) and connective tissue diseases, such as Marfan’s syndrome.

Men between the ages of 65 and 75 with any history of smoking should be screened for an AAA. An ultrasound is a quick, safe, reliable way of screening.

The diagnosis of an AAA depends on size: For most women, a level of 3 cm is a reasonable cutoff. You are just below that, so I understand why your doctor may want to check up on it again.

In the days and hours following the boy’s death — Halstead died at 5:47 p.m.

Thursday, the post said — people far and wide have expressed love and support for the family.

“Oh, Halstead family, I am, literally, crying uncontrollably for a boy and family I’ve never met,” one Facebook user said. “You and your sweet boy rallied us all around love, kindness and positivity. We could never thank you enough for sharing him with us. My heart smiles at the thought of Tripp running around heaven with that big smile, talking up a storm.

“But oh how it aches to try to even begin to imagine the depth of your shock and pain. Please know the world is praying for your comfort and healing. We don’t truly know you, but we feel as though we truly love each one of you.”

The comment received more than 12,000 likes by Friday afternoon.

Halstead, who was born Sept. 11, 2010, was his parents’ “one perfect miracle,” his mother said.

After trying month after month to conceive, Halstead was born after his parents visited a fertility clinic. He was his parents’ “whole world.”

Tripp’s accident, and now his death, makes the Halsteads’ journey even more difficult, Stacy Halstead said on Facebook, though she thanked the millions of people who have reached out over the last five years.

“You have been the most loyal and outstanding followers we could have ever asked for and we thank you from the bottom of our hearts for the past 5 1/2 years,” she wrote. “You let us into your lives and you were there when we needed you most.”

As of Friday afternoon, Stacy’s Halstead’s post about her son’s death had reached more than 500,000 people, with more than 200,000 comments and nearly 100,000 shares.

Though he ultimately succumbed to his injuries, Stacy said he will never be forgotten, and a previous Facebook post, written on the page’s “About” section, will remain relevant as the family remembers the boy.

“I cherish every moment with him,” Stacy wrote.

“He is my whole world

Halstead and I want him to know how much he is loved. I didn’t want this post to be all sad, I wanted everyone to know how important every single day is with your loved ones, hug them, kiss them, let them know how special they are to you.

Even if Tripp hadn’t pulled through, I can honestly say there wasn’t one single day of his life that he wasn’t hugged on, kissed on and told ‘I love you.’ He is a very special boy and thank you all for loving him, too.”

Services for Tripp will be held Sunday at the Jefferson Civic Center, located at 65 Kissam St. in Jefferson.

Visitation will be held from 3 to 7 p.m., with the funeral starting at 7 p.m.

The Halsteads’ Journey 2006: Both living in Asheville, N.C., Bill and Stacy Halstead meet. Stacy falls “head over heels for him,” she said. A year later, in 2007, they marry.

2007-09: The Halsteads try, month after month, to conceive, to no avail.

“I was already 30 when we were married, so we wanted to start a family,” Stacy said. “Now I realize that is not as easy as it sounds. We thought we had it all planned out. And each month was met with huge disappointments.”

2009: After years of trying to conceive, the couple decides to try a fertility clinic, where they “were told we were perfectly healthy, but since we had been trying for so long, they would help us,” she said.

Sept. 11, 2010: After Stacy’s “horrible” pregnancy, Tripp Halstead is born. “I was on bed rest, had to walk with a walker and sometimes had to travel by wheelchair. I developed a muscle disorder, then placenta previa, so I had to have a vertical C-section,” she said. “But it was all worth it to have my baby.”

January 2012: The Halsteads decide to have another baby. They go back to the same fertility clinic and Stacy becomes pregnant with a baby girl, Ella Mary Halstead. Her due date is set for Oct 2, 2012 — the same month as Tripp’s accident. Another child was not in the cards for the family, though. “I had a miscarriage just a few months after being pregnant,” Stacy said. “At that time, it had been the most dramatic thing I had ever personally dealt with.

I cried and cried, couldn’t sleep, eat, etc. Anyone that has gone through this knows what a nightmare it is. And we learned soon after that, if we didn’t try

again immediately, my eggs would be gone. But we were too devastated to try at that point.”

Oct. 29, 2012: The Halstead’s 2-year-old boy is playing outside at the Cribs to Crayons day care facility in Winder when winds from Hurricane Sandy cause a several-hundredpound limb from a tree to fall on the toddler’s head, “crushing his skull into many pieces.” He is taken to a Winder hospital and then flown to a Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta hospital.

“As Bill and I were driving to meet him in Atlanta, I don’t think we spoke 10 words to each other,” Stacy said. “We were scared and we just prayed. We honestly didn’t know how bad it was. As soon as we got there, they let us see him. He looked perfect. No blood, no cuts, he looked so peaceful. Then the doctor started telling us how bad it was, and it took me some time to realize they were saying he could die. It was a slice to my heart and soul.”

Nov. 7, 2012: Tripp opens his eyes for the first time since the accident and two days later his breathing tube is removed. Already, 56,000 people had liked his Facebook page.

Mid-January 2013: After numerous surgeries, Tripp is able to sit in a wheelchair. Several weeks later, family members announce on his Facebook page that he is set to leave the hospital at the end of the month. Weeks later, however, he is still in the hospital after undergoing more surgeries.

March 8, 2013: Just before the boy’s 10th surgery, Tripp smiles for the first time since the accident. “I had tears running down my face!!” his mother wrote on Facebook. “It is the closest thing we have seen to him being happy in over four long months.”

March 29, 2013: Tripp leaves the hospital, exactly five months since he suffered the traumatic brain injury outside his Barrow County day care. A day later, the Halsteads attend a Gwinnett Gladiators fundraiser hockey game. Several days later, though, he is back in the hospital.

June 22, 2013: Thousands of runners turn out for the Tripp-A-Doodle Trot at Coolray Field. The Facebook page has more than 700,000 likes, from places as far away as South Africa and Australia.

July 13, 2013: Roswell nonprofit Sunshine on a Ranney Day remodels the

Halsteads’ home. Hundreds of people show up for the reveal.

Oct. 30, 2013: Tripp is re-admitted to the hospital, a year and a day after the accident. He’s had 14 surgeries at the time.

Oct. 27, 2014: Two days before the two-year anniversary of his accident, Tripp undergoes his 16th surgery.

Oct. 29, 2016: To mark the four-year anniversary of what Stacy calls “the accident that changed our lives forever,” the Halsteads visit first responders at the Winder Fire Department, Winder Police Department and Barrow County Fire Department. They then travel to the Ronald McDonald House and Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta. “Wow, today has been amazing,” Stacy wrote. “I haven’t had one meltdown and I have smiled all day. … Very humbling experience. These people are amazing.”

Oct. 2, 2017: After nearly five years, Tripp is healthy enough to travel to Disney World. Janice Vinson and her husband, Kids ’R’ Kids co-founder Pat Vinson, meet Tripp along with his parents, grandparents, aunt, uncle and two cousins at the Gwinnett County Airport. The Vinsons set the Halsteads up with a flight on the Kids ’R’ Kids private jet to Orlando. Janice Vinson’s son, President and CEO David Vinson, accompanies the Halsteads on their flight.

Tripp has had 22 surgeries, though no more had been planned for him.

Dec. 10, 2017: Tripp is airlifted to Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta after falling ill with rhinovirus — what Stacy calls a “big word” for the common cold.

Dec. 30, 2017: Tripp is re-admitted into Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta with an unknown illness after he falls ill while vacationing in Charlotte, N.C. March 15, 2018: Stacy tries to wake Tripp for school, but notices he is “having labored breathing,” she said on Facebook. “I could see his little chest going up and down and his heart rate was high. I went to move him and he started whining and then had crazy diarrhea so I immediately called his pediatrician and they said to bring him in.” On the way into the pediatrician’s office, the Halsteads detour to an Athens emergency room, where they were waiting to transfer Tripp to Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta.

Hours later, he dies.

Over the course of the operation, 196 digital devices were examined and 474 digital media and devices were seized as evidence in the state.

ICAC investigators and the GBI said they are committed to cracking down on child exploitation.

“The cooperation among agencies and among states illustrates their level of commitment to detect, arrest and prosecute child predators,” the GBI said. “Cooperation is always important in law enforcement, but it is never more important than when we set out to protect children.

Ga. Manufacturing Alliance opens its Lawrenceville office curt.yeomans @gwinnettdailypost.com

The Georgia Manufacturing Alliance took care of the proverbial two birds with one stone — or rather with one pair of scissors — this past week when it held a ribbon-cutting for its new office in Lawrenceville.

In addition to officially opening its new headquarters, the alliance also formally launched its redesigned Buy From Georgia Initiative website at the event. The website, www.BuyFromGeorgia.com, was overhauled to promote more than 1,000 products that are made in Georgia and can be purchased on Amazon.

The ribbon-cutting and website redesign unveiling come as the Georgia Manufacturing Alliance is in the midst of celebrating the 10th anniversary of its founding.

“Over the past 10 years, we have built a solid foundation of leaders statewide that will be able to support the imminent growth of manufacturing in Georgia,” Georgia Manufacturing Alliance founder and CEO Jason Moss said in a statement. “We are excited about what the future holds for our members and the manufacturing community in our state.”

More than 70 people attended the ribboncutting for the new office at 175 Langley Drive, Suite A4. As a tie-in to the “Buy From Georgia” theme of the event, the attendees were served products made in the state. That included Georgia’s most famous beverage, Coca-Cola, as well as Hostess snacks, SunnyD, Combos and Wrigley’s Gum. Other products made in the state, such as Solo plates and Starbucks K-

Cups were also available at the ribbon-cutting.

All of those products can be purchased through BuyFromGeorgia.com, the alliance said.

“We want to encourage everyone to support their local community and make a purchase on BuyFromGeorgia. com to help support and grow jobs in Georgia,” Moss said. “Shoppers who purchase through BuyFromGeorgia.com receive the benefits of shopping through Amazon for 1,000s of name brand and unique items that are produced in our great state.”

Local nonprofit bakery, Special Kneads and Treats, which works with people who have disabilities, provided cupcakes as well.

Officials with the alliance said they are now planning to host tours of manufacturing facilities that produce consumerbased products in July.

Some Toys R Us stores may be saved

BY CURT YEOMANS

Customers visit the Toys R Us store on Pleasant Hill Road, near Gwinnett Place Mall on Thursday.

The company, which filed for bankruptcy last year, confirmed plans to close its U.S. stores Thursday. The toy retailer offered a glimmer of hope, however, by explaining that 200 high performing stores could be sold in a package deal with Canadian stores instead of being closed.

curt.yeomans @gwinnettdailypost.com

Two-hundred of the 735 Toys R Us stores in the U.S. could get a reprieve from a nationwide shutdown of the company — if a deal can be reached to sell them, the toy retailer announced this past week.

News spread quickly Wednesday that Toys R Us executives told employees in an email about plans to shut down the company’s U.S. operations. The company confirmed it filed a motion in Bankruptcy Court on Thursday, asking for permission to begin liquidating its U.S. inventory and closing all of its remaining stores in the country.

The company, which filed for bankruptcy last fall, told the court that high performing U.S. stores could be packaged with Canadian stores in a sale though.

“The Company also disclosed that it is engaged in discussions with certain interested parties for a transaction that could combine up to 200 of the top performing U.S. stores with its Canadian operations,” Toys R Us said in a statement. “While discussions continue on this potential transaction, Toys R Us is seeking court approval to implement the liquidation of inventory in all the U.S. stores, subject to a right to recall any stores included in the proposed Canadian transaction.”

The news of a potential sale could offer a glimmer of hope for two Toys R Us stores that operate in Gwinnett County, one near Gwinnett Place Mall and another near the Mall of

Georgia. The company did not specify which stores would be part of the 200 that could be sold.

The company did not response to an email from the Daily Post about whether there was a list of stores that could be sold.

No date has been announced yet for Toys R Us’ remaining stores, but the company said it would outline going out of business sales and closing dates soon. Several stores whose closings had previously been announced are in the midst of their own goingout-of-business sales.

One of the local Toys R Us stores is at 2205 Pleasant Hill Road, in an area where local officials have been trying to encourage redevelopment. It is located in the Pleasant Hill Square shopping center, across the street from the Gwinnett Prado, where a massive mixed-use redevelopment project is being planned.

The store is also a Babies R Us location.

“That location, to me — and I’m just an outsider looking in — appears to always stay busy,” Gwinnett Place Community Improvement District Ex-

ecutive Director Joe Allen said.

The Pleasant Hill store is located in the CID, in a space that it leases from the owners of the shopping center. Allen said the district had been bracing itself for the possibility that Toys R Us would go out of business based on reports about the financial health of the company.

He said it was hard to predict whether the Pleasant Hill and Mall of Georgia area stores could be among the locations that are potentially packaged in a possible sale.

“They’ve survived numerous rounds of previous cuts, so that might be a good sign, but I just don’t know where the Pleasant Hill store and the Mall of Georgia store compare to those other stores,” Allen said.

The other Toys R Us store in Gwinnett is located at 3480 Financial Center Way in Buford.

The announcement that Toys R Us is closing its U.S. stores came on the heels of news that stores in the United Kingdom were also going to close.

Operations in Asia and the

central European countries of Germany, Austrian and Switzerland are also going to be put up for sale, the company said.

Meanwhile, Toys R Us also announced operations in Australia, France, Poland, Portugal and Spain are “considering their options” because of the decision to close the U.S. stores. They could possibly be put for sale as well.

“I am very disappointed with the result, but we no longer have the financial support to continue the Company’s U.S. operations,” Toys R Us Chairman and CEO Dave Brandon said in a statement. “We are therefore implementing an orderly process to shutter our U.S. operations and will pursue going concern sales or reorganizations of certain of our international businesses, while our other international businesses consider their options.”

Toys R Us is the latest big retail company to shut down in recent years, despite an economy that has been simultaneously bouncing back from the Great Recession. Stores such as Sports Authority

and Hhgregg are among the companies that have gone out of business over the last few years.

A big part of that has been increasing competition from online retailers, such as Amazon. Allen said changes in what kinds of experiences shoppers want has also benefited mixeduse developments, such as Avalon in Alpharetta or the planned Revel development at the Infinite Energy Center, at the expense of traditional retail districts centered around malls.

“Retail is changing and what you have, especially in Gwinnett, is these major retail hubs — the Gwinnett Place, Sugarloaf (Mills) and the Mall of Georgia areas — they are going to be hit as we’re all going through this change in retail,” Allen said.

As Brandon reflected on the company’s growth over the decades, he highlighted people and organizations that “have remained in our corner every step along the way” and offered praise for their contributions to Toys R Us. “I want to thank our extraordinary team members who helped build Toys R Us into a global brand,” he said. “I also want to express my appreciation for my colleagues on our board who have continued to provide support to sustain the brand and our operations throughout the restructuring process.

“I would also like to thank our vendors, who we owe a great deal of gratitude to for their decades of support. This is a profoundly sad day for us as well as the millions of kids and families who we have served for the past 70 years.”

Shelter offering free pet adoption

BY CURT YEOMANS

curt.yeomans @gwinnettdailypost.com

Gwinnett County residents can adopt a pet for free from the county’s Animal Welfare and Enforcement Center for a few days this month.

The center announced this past week that it is offering the free pet adoptions on Fridays in March. Officials said several pets — dogs and cats, to be exact — have undergone examinations by animal shelter staff, received their vaccinations and been either neutered or spayed, making them ready to be adopted.

Normally, it would cost someone $30 to adopt a cat, or $90 to adopt a dog, from the shelter.

“Please keep in mind that adopting an animal is a decision that should include responsible planning for space, permission if renting and follow-up veterinarian care from a local clinic,” county officials said in a statement.

“Animals are forever family members that require love, attention, exercise and stimulation, and can live 10 years or longer depending on age and breed. Please consider this upon planning to adopt.”

The Animal Welfare and Enforcement Center is open from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Fridays, as well as Saturdays. It is also open 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Mondays through Thursdays.

The shelter is located at 884 Winder Highway in Lawrenceville.

frequency.

The most popular method remains impersonating a company executive, either through a compromised or spoofed email, in order to obtain W-2 information from a human resource professional within the same organization.

Clayton Police Department Chief Investigator Matt Thomas said tax-related scams rise in frequency during this time of year, when people begin filing their taxes. But those are far from the only types.

The most common scam Thomas sees are people claiming to be tech companies. They tell the victims they’ve detected viruses or

malware on the person’s computer, and ask for payments to fix the nonexistent problem.

Other common phone scams include a caller telling the victim that a family member is in prison, and money needs to be wired to bond them out; and the caller telling the victim they’ve won large sums of money, and just need to send a fee to receive their prize.

A recent press release from Georgia Attorney General Chris Carr warns of a new emerging phone scam that originates inside prison walls.

“We are warning all Georgians to be on the lookout

for phone scams, and in particular, those facilitated by prison gangs and incarcerated con-men looking to cheat honest people out of their hard-earned money,” Carr said in the release. “(Commissioner of the Department of Corrections Greg) Dozier and the Department of Corrections work every day to crack down on the use of contraband cellphones, and we will continue to work together to protect our fellow Georgians and keep them informed and ahead of the inmate schemes.”

Thomas encourages everyone contacted by scammers to report it to law enforcement.

expects Deal to sign the bill, which is aimed at protecting water resources from contamination. The effective date is July 1.

A number of landowners in the region have been approached over the last decade to sell mineral rights to their property. Under the updated regulations, a company planning to use fracking to explore for gas or oil will have to give public notice of its intent.

“Before this, somebody could have just gone and done it,” Hufstetler said.

Floyd County regulates drilling through its zoning ordinance and requires a special use permit. However, most counties have few restrictions.

The legislation does not affect a local government’s authority.

In addition to public notice, there’s a 30-day public comment period before the state could issue a permit.

The company would have to disclose where the bore hole would go, along with the source of the water it planned to use and provisions for

disposal of the wastewater.

Additionally, the company would have to identify nearby groundwater sources and do quality monitoring before and after the operation.

They’ll also have to disclose the chemicals they’ll be using, although there are provisions to protect trade secrets. Only the head of the Georgia Department of Natural Resources and commissioner of Public Health will get the information.

The DNR board also has the option of drawing up further regulations.

Mall gets evacuated due to fire

BY CURT YEOMANS

curt.yeomans @gwinnettdailypost.com

Shoppers at the Mall of Georgia were quickly ushered out of its shops Friday morning when it was briefly evacuated because of a fire that broke out at the popular shopping venue.

Gwinnett County Fire and Emergency Services Capt. Tommy Rutledge said firefighters were called the mall at 11:52 a.m. after a fire began in a trash compactor that was connected to the mall building. He also said mall officials evacuated the shopping center in Buford, but let shoppers back in about 10 to 15 minutes later.

“The fire was doused by security personnel and mall employees prior to the fire trucks arrival,” Rutledge said. “The fire was contained to the trash compactor and only sent slight smoke inside a back hallway near the delivery/service entrance by the food court.”

No one was injured by the fire or smoke and the situation was under control by about 12:03 p.m., Rutledge said.

Norcross High’s Parrish inducted into theater hall of fame

BY TREVOR MCNABOE trevor.mcnaboe @gwinnettdailypost.com

Norcross High School’s Gina Parrish was honored in front of a packed room during the Gwinnett County Public Schools Board of Education meeting Thursday evening.

Parrish was recently inducted into the Educational Theatre Association Hall of Fame for her outstanding contributions to theater education for 20 or more years.

The board of education also voted to honor longtime Trickum Middle School principal Kay Sands, who retired in

2016, by naming the school’s outdoor theater after her.

“I can’t think of a better person and educator to be honored for this,” board member Robert McClure said.

Sex education curriculum OK’d For months, the “Choosing the Best”

sexual education curriculum, GCPS’ current curriculum, has been under fire from comprehensive sexual education advocates.

During the meeting, a review of the Health Education Human Sexuality AKS and Supporting Resources was presented

by Interim Executive

Director for Curriculum and Instruction Tricia Kennedy.

Kennedy reported to board members that the state mandated Community Health Advisory Committee reviewed and voted 19-2 in favor of Choosing the Best as the appropriate sexual education curriculum.

According to Kennedy, the 24-member committee believed there was no evidence that the current materials provided to students are not wellaligned to the school district’s academic knowledge and skills.

The board of education is scheduled to next meet at 7 p.m. April 19.

lyde Strickland’s life turned around when he was in the eighth grade — and it was all because of a teacher.

Strickland was a sharecropper’s son growing up in North Carolina. Like other sons of sharecropping families, he had to devote some of his time to working on a farm. When these boys went to school, it was in dusty overalls, denim shirts and worn out boots, so they were put in the back of the class.

Their education suffered a bit as a result of the demands of working on the farm and being put in the back of the class. Despite being in the eighth grade, Strickland estimated he had about a fifth-grade education at the time.

But his teacher saw potential in him.

“She walked back there and said, ‘Clyde, I want you to move up to the front,’” said Strickland, now 78.

“She said, ‘You are special.

You’re going to be somebody one day.’ And she moved me up to the front, See BOOK, Page 14A

Let Freedom Ring Festival to highlight colonial American life

BY CURT YEOMANS

curt.yeomans @gwinnettdailypost.com

Gwinnett County residents will have a chance to kick it 1776-style in Lawrenceville next weekend.

The county will partner with the Gwinnett Historical society, the Button Gwinnett Chapter of the Sons of the American Revolution and the Philadelphia Winn Chapter

of the Daughters of the American Revolution to host annual Let Freedom Ring Festival on Saturday at the Isaac Adair House and Lawrenceville Female Seminary.

The festival, which highlights the life of county namesake Button Gwinnett, will last from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

“The festival is in celebration of Gwinnett County Bicentennial, American independence and the patriots that

served in battle,” county officials said in a statement.

This will mark the first time the festival has been held at the Isaac Adair House, which is located at 15 S. Clayton St. in Lawrenceville. It was moved to the property, which will serve as the festival’s permanent home, after an overhaul of the site that added new amenities.

Since Button Gwinnett is famous for signing

the Declaration of Independence, the festival will focus on the 1776 time period. Gwinnett County Natural and Cultural Resources staff will don re-enactment attire and lead tours through the house.

Attendees will also learn how to play 18th century games, such as Jacob’s Ladder and the Game of Graces, learn to churn butter, write with a quill, mimic Benjamin Franklin’s glass harmonica, learn about the currency of the time and make toys.

There will also be live musket demonstrations and other displays of early weapon technology. A trading post will also be set up so attendees can buy souvenirs.

Attendees are encouraged to wear period attire from the 18th

Trump must be clear about attack option in Kim summit With the nomination and likely confirmation of Mike Pompeo as secretary of state, President Trump will soon have a trusted adviser who can prepare him for his upcoming summit with North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un. Pompeo’s first job is to make sure Trump understands one thing going into those talks: North Korea has no plans to give up its nuclear weapons at the negotiating table.

Kim knows what happened to Libyan dictator Moammar Gaddafi when, after the capture of Saddam Hussein in Iraq, he handed the entire Libyan nuclear weapons program — the uranium, the centrifuges, the designs to build bombs — over to the United States for secure storage. Seven years later, the Obama administration launched a Marc military intervention Thiessen in Libya during which Gaddafi was killed by rebel forces. Don’t think Kim has not seen the video of Gaddafi’s gruesome death, or concluded that it would never have happened had Gaddafi kept his weapons.

Kim is also fully aware of what happened to Ukraine after it gave up the nearly 2,000 nuclear weapons it possessed after the collapse of the Soviet Union. In December 1994, in exchange for denuclearization, Russia signed the Budapest Memorandum of Security Assurances promising to “refrain from the threat or use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of Ukraine.” In 2014, Russia invaded a denuclearized Ukraine and annexed Crimea.

The idea that Kim is going to look at this history and decide “Third time’s a charm!” is absurd. Any promise for complete denuclearization he gives Trump will be a lie — just as his father lied in 1994 when he agreed to abandon his nuclear program. Kim is coming to the table to extort money and get the United States to withdraw forces from the Korean Peninsula so that he can pursue his ultimate goal of unconditional Korean unification under Pyongyang’s rule.

So why should Trump even bother to meet with Kim? Because a direct meeting may be the only way to convince the North Korean leader that Trump is serious about taking military action if Kim does not abandon his quest to threaten American cities with nuclear missiles. In January, I asked Pompeo in a conversation at the American Enterprise Institute whether Kim actually believes that Trump would pull the trigger on a military strike.

“We’re concerned that he may not be getting really good, accurate information,” the CIA director replied. “It is not a healthy thing to be a senior leader and bring bad news to Kim Jong Un.” A face-to-face meeting is a chance for Trump to look Kim in the eye and tell him, “You will not be allowed to deploy missiles that can reach U.S. cites. I am not like my predecessors. If you continue on this path, America will have no choice but take military action to destroy your missile and nuclear capabilities. Such strikes will be limited — unless you retaliate, in which case your regime will end. I would prefer it not come to that, but the decision is in your hands.”

If Kim walks away unconvinced and continues to pursue nuclear ICBMs, Trump can back up his message with limited actions.

These could be undertaken covertly in order to avoid publicly shaming the North Korean leader. For example, Richard Ellings of the National Bureau of Asian Research recently suggested that North Korean submarines could suddenly start silently disappearing beneath the sea. No one would know except the North Korean leadership. This, along with even more painful sanctions, would send an unmistakable signal to Kim that Trump was serious.

If, despite all this, Kim continues to push forward, then the United States must be prepared to take out Kim’s nuclear and missile facilities, as well as the artillery pointed at Seoul. But preventing the need for military action — which risks escalating into all-out war if Kim miscalculates — is why it is important for Trump to meet the North Korean leader. It may be that only a threat delivered in person can finally convince Kim that Trump means it when he says all options are on the table.

If Trump succeeds, the result would still be suboptimal: a halt to ballistic missile development, rather than full denuclearization. But this is far better than letting Kim hold American cities hostage, or giving him massive concessions for a denuclearization agreement that he has no intention of fulfilling.

Delta execs can’t handle turbulence For a number of years, I supervised a staff in Washington — first with BellSouth Corporation and then with Atlanta Committee for the Olympic Games — and following that had an office in New York as member of the board of a large public relations firm.

That meant almost weekly trips on Delta Air Lines, many times going up on the early morning red-eye flight and back late the same evening. I used to joke that if I missed a week, Delta would call to see if I was OK. Thank goodness Delta has always been better at flying airplanes than they are at navigating through the turbulence of the external environment.

That is because the pilots, flight attendants, mechanics, ticket counter personnel and other hard-working Delta people are better at their jobs than the clueless top brass seems to be at theirs. And don’t even bring up what must pass as a Communications Department there.

My experience tells me they either give lousy advice or they are ignored.

I say this only to make a point, but on my wall sits a plaque certifying I was recognized as one of the “100 Most Influential Public Relations Practitioners of the 20th Century.” OK, so it was a slow century for public relations

And back in 2003 when the airline was in financial straits, laying off workers, cutting pension benefits for others and seeking major concessions from Delta pilots, Delta execs gave themselves $43 million worth of bonuses and bankruptcy-proof pensions to “keep their executive team together.”

Delta’s CEO at the time, Leo Mullin, left shortly thereafter with a cool $16 million in his pocket. Shameful.

Should corporations have the same right of free speech as the rest of us? Absolutely.

But they need to understand the ramifications of when they do exercise it. And somebody needs to have the courage to tell the suits how to and when not to. Too many public relations people don’t have that courage. It is no fun telling your boss “no.” I have the scars to prove it.

When both the governor and the Speaker of the House remark on the airline’s poor timing of their NRA announcement, I need say no more.

Delta is a great airline thanks to its people but the top brass does them no favors with their political ineptitude.

Blizzard of ’93 a storm to remember They called it the storm of the century. I didn’t live through the entire century, understand, but I will have to admit, it was a humdinger.

I am speaking now of the Blizzard of ’93. That would be 1993 to those of you whose memory doesn’t stretch back that far. It occurred on March 13 — 25 years ago. How could that be possible? It seems like it was just a blink of an eye ago, not a quarter of a century.

This storm came in on a Saturday morning — not during the afternoon commute like the infamous Snow Jam of 1982.

And it didn’t slip up on us. We had plenty of warning that the storm was coming. But when it did hit, it really hit.

Now to those of you who are not from around here, speaking primarily to the Yankee-Americans among you, now, please do us all a favor and don’t tell us how well you drive on ice and snow around Detroit and Boston and New York City.

No. 1, it’s not true. Yes, I know you are prepared for snow, with plows and salt trucks and tire chains and the rusted out hulls of 3-year-old automobiles to go with it — and you probably can manage in soft white powder. But the laws of nature don’t suspend themselves because someone happens to have been born north of the Mason-Dixon line and nobody — and I mean nobody — can

Since it was the weekend, there weren’t any school closings to be announced, but I do remember seeing a notice at the bottom of the television screen that Jesus’ mama, who used to appear to a lady named Nancy Fowler on the 13th of every month here in Conyers, had canceled her appearance that day.

Precious memories. How they do linger.

If it snowed at my house this winter, I was out of the country and didn’t know about it, but it is still fun to look back at the storm of the century. And who knows what might still happen before Easter? With Trump in charge, anything is possible.

Newton, Martinez recognized for elections Gwinnett County’s first minority mayors were recognized by Georgia lawmakers this past week.

The General Assembly highlighted Norcross Mayor Craig Newton and Loganville Mayor Rey Martinez for their history-making

elections. Newton is the first black mayor of a Gwinnett city and Martinez is the first Hispanic mayor of any city in Georgia.

“We’re celebrating today the first Hispanic mayor in Gwinnett and the first African-American mayor

in Gwinnett also as well,” state Rep. Pedro Marin, RDuluth, told his colleagues Monday.

Martinez, who was born in Puerto Rico, and Newton each took office in January.

They also followed similar paths toward becoming mayor of their respective cities by serving on their respective city councils for years before running to succeed retiring mayors last year.

While Norcross is solely in Gwinnett County, Loganville sits on the GwinnettWalton county line and is split between the two counties.

Marin was joined by several of his Republican and Democratic colleagues from the Gwinnett legislative delegation in recognizing the mayors.

Judicial candidates forum set for March 29 A forum featuring the candidates for Gwinnett County Superior Court and State Court seats will be held later this month in Lawrenceville.

The forum will be held from 6:30 to 9 p.m. March 29 at the Gwinnett Justice and Administration Center, located at 75 Langley Drive in Lawrenceville. It is being hosted by Delta Sigma Theta Sorority Inc., Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity Inc., the United Ebony Society of Gwinnett County Inc., New Jerusalem Baptist Church and Positive Results.

There are three open and contested judicial seats in Gwinnett County this year, two of which are on the Superior Court bench and third is on the State Court bench. Judicial races are nonpartisan so the winner of the May 22 election will take the seat.

Wives of Perdue, Hice to attend Gwinnett Republican lunch Bonnie Perdue, the wife of U.S. Sen. David Perdue, and Dee Dee Hice, the wife of U.S. Rep. Jody Hice, will headline a lunch the Gwinnett Republican Party is planning to host next month.

The party announced this past week that its 2018

Political Families Luncheon will be held from 11:30 a.m. to 1:15 p.m. April 28 at 550 Trackside, 550 N. Clayton St. in Lawrenceville. In addition to Bonnie Perdue and Dee Dee Hice, Amanda Martin, wife of state Sen. P.K. Martin, is also listed as a participant in the event.

A private reception will be held beforehand, starting at 10:30 a.m.

Anyone interested in attending the luncheon is asked to contact Michael Duckett at 678-896-9710 or maduckett@mindspring. com. They can also RSVP through the Gwinnett Republican Party Facebook page. Ticket prices have not yet been announced.

Central’s Calvin Nimley), I beat pretty bad the week before at sectionals. I really got overconfident and overlooked (Person), so he beat me.

“This time around, I was going to let everything hang loose. I was not holding back. I didn’t want to regret anything.”

Bozoian won his final two matches in Wrestlebacks to claim third place, then ran the table this year to win the final 35 matches of his high school career, culminating in his 15-2 major decision over Union Grove’s Camden Johnson in this year’s state final. His senior season left him with nothing

to regret.

But as much as last year’s minor disappointment proved to spark him on, it was a success a few weeks earlier that Buford coach Tom Beuglas believes was just as formative in Bozoian’s monster senior season.

Wrestling at 170 points in the Wolves’ championship meet against Woodland-Cartersville at the state duals, he fought out of a near-pin predicament to manage a reversal of Jacob Frye with 12 seconds left in the match to score a 10-8 victory, which vaulted Buford in front for good in what turned out to be a

championship-clinching 34-30 win.

“That was huge for us,” Beuglas said of Bozoian’s clutch victory. “That was pretty indicative of his personality. He’s about as tough a kid as anybody we have. He’s not going to give up.

“It’s funny because when he was younger, he wasn’t very good. He didn’t have a very good record, couldn’t get in the (regular) lineup. He had to wrestle up a couple of weight classes just to get a spot. I think as he got older, he got a lot more confident, and that was a big reason he got much better.”

Bozoian got better to the point that he not only earned a spot in Buford’s starting lineup, but finally

began to stand out among a loaded roster that includes such big names as two-time defending state champions Charlie Darracott and Nick Stonecheck and fellow nationallyranked wrestler Logan Ashton.

If his strong finish to his junior season didn’t do so, then a big start to the 2017-18 campaign, which included tournament titles at such competitive tournaments as the Buford, Lassiter and Archer Invitationals, as well as the prestigious Southern Slam tournament in Taylors, S.C. — did plenty to put him on the radar of college coaches.

Eventually, he would

ATHENS — The Georgia Lady Bulldog basketball team downed 13-seed Mercer 68-63 in the NCAA Tournament first round, earning its first NCAA Tournament win under head coach Joni Taylor.

The Bulldogs (26-6, 12-4) secured their second victory of the season over Southern Conference champion Mercer (303, 14-0), sweeping the Bears in 2017-18 on the heels of a 72-54 win at Hawkins Arena on Nov. 19.

“I think it was really special to have Georgia and Mercer play each other — two in-state teams who had incredible seasons,” Taylor said. “Special moment for everyone, and we’re fortunate to come out on top. Mercer’s got a really good team; they battled and they fought really hard. And I was proud of our girls for how they answered that challenge.”

Falling in line with a season-long trend, Georgia’s frontcourt tandem of senior Mackenzie Engram and junior Caliya Robinson rallied the Bulldogs towards the victory. The two forwards combined for 44 points, 26 rebounds and eight assists.

“I think it goes to the chemistry. I think that it’s easy for us to work together,” Robinson said.

“I think it plays well in the game, which helps us a lot.”

MONSTER ENERGY CUP: AUTO CLUB 400

Jets trade up to get No. 3 pick Field Level Media

Truex Jr. wins back-to-back poles

By Reid Spencer

NASCAR Wire Service

With the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series qualifying field thinned significantly by inspection issues, Martin Truex Jr. won his second straight pole of the season in Friday’s knockout qualifying session at Auto Club Speedway.

Avoiding the trouble from the seams between lanes that tripped up firstand second-round leader Kevin Harvick in the final round, Truex covered the 2-mile distance in 38.592 seconds (186.567 mph) in the No. 78 Furniture Row Racing Toyota, edging fellow Camry driver Kyle Busch (186.437 mph) by .027 seconds for the top starting spot in Sunday’s Auto Club 400.

During time trials that saw only 24 of the 37 cars entered pass inspection and make qualifying attempts, Truex won the first Busch Pole Award of the season under sponsorship announced this week. The pole was Truex’s second of the season, following last week’s at Phoenix, and the 17th of his career.

“I felt really good about

our chances after practice,” Truex said. “We opted to stay on one set of tires the whole practice and ran our fastest lap on scuffs. …

I felt like that was a big advantage for us. We ran the fastest lap of anyone on scuffed tires and felt like that would bode well for us in qualifying.

“We really just had to put it all together.”

Harvick, who will try for his fourth consecutive Cup victory on Sunday, posted the fastest lap of the day in the first round, running 188.744 mph (38.147 seconds), eclipsing Denny Hamlin’s track-record 188.511 mph (38.194 seconds) set in March 2016.

But the handling of Harvick’s No. 4 Stewart-Haas Racing Ford deteriorated, and he fell to 10th in the final round.

“We were just tight as we went through every round,” Harvick said. “We had the same thing in practice, where the second round was just so much tighter than the first round.

We tried to adjust on it and we made it better entering the corner and through the middle of the corner.

“But as we got to the exit, right at that threequarter mark, I just kept getting tighter and tighter, and then I got up the race track and got hung on the seam and got loose and kind of screwed it up.”

Kyle Larson qualified third, followed by Erik Jones, giving Toyota three of the top four starting spots. Austin Dillon earned the fifth position on the grid, followed by Joey Logano, Kurt Busch and Ryan Blaney.

None of the four Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolets made it through inspection in time to make a qualifying attempt. Two of Harvick’s teammates — Clint Bowyer and Aric Almirola — were sidelined for the session by inspection failures after posting top-five speeds in Friday’s opening practice.

The silver lining for the cars that will start 25th on back on owner points, led

by Denny Hamlin in 25th, is a tire advantage. Cars that took laps in qualifying will start on their scuffed qualifying tires. Those who didn’t take times will start on new tires, and Truex considers that a significant advantage.

“It’s a huge advantage on that first run, especially if it goes long,” Truex said.

“In my mind, if you’re not probably in the top four, you’re better off being 25th. It’s going to be a big deal. For us, hopefully, we can get out front and get a big lead early in clean air and kind of get separated.

“I know in Atlanta we started on stickers, and it was like a video game those first five laps because you had so much more grip than everybody else.”

Gordon enjoys Daytona HOF night

By Holly Cain

NASCAR Wire Service

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — The Motorsports Hall of Fame of America induction ceremony Tuesday evening was crowded with a black-tie assortment representing the Who’s Who of auto racing — from emcee Mario Andretti to Trans Am champion Tommy Kendall to Indy 500 winner Emerson Fittipaldi to sports car great Scott Pruett and NASCAR champions Rusty Wallace and Terry Labonte.

They all gathered to celebrate a long list of racing’s very best. One of those being honored was four-time NASCAR Cup champion Jeff Gordon, who sat on stage listening to acceptance speeches with a wide grin, many laughs and lots of spontaneous applause as one-byone his induction class was introduced.

It included the late aviator Howard Hughes, sports car great Bob Tullius, motorcycle champion Fred Merkel, open-wheel hero Pat Patrick, drag racing’s John Buttera and Carl Fisher who is historically credited with helping build the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

As NASCAR Vice Chairman Mike Helton took the podium to formally introduce Gordon, he couldn’t help but acknowledge “the stories told tonight are incredible.”

Then he delivered a well-received introduction of Gordon, reminding the room not only of the 45-year-old’s 93 Cup wins and four championships but of Gordon’s equally impressive gift of influence and transcendence.

“The statistics validate any recognition Jeff Gordon gets,” Helton said,

stressing that Gordon, who retired from NASCAR after the 2015 season, may be “a once in a lifetime” competitor and wondered aloud if “a person will ever have a single impact on our sport as Jeff did.”

“How much better can your night be than to get to sit next to Mario Andretti,” Gordon said, grinning and breaking the ice.

Then he addressed the room, summing up his feelings and sharing his experiences. He made a point to thank the Hendrick Motorsports team — whose executives turned out in full force Tuesday evening — and to express his deep gratitude to former crew chief Ray Evernham, who guided him to three of his four titles.

PGA TOUR

Stenson holds Palmer lead as others lurk Field Level Media Sweden’s Henrik Stenson has the lead, Bryson DeChambeau is one shot back, and the rest of the leaderboard at the Arnold Palmer Invitational would make Arnie himself swoon.

Stenson and DeChambeau started Saturday’s third round in a tie for the lead at 11 under par, but on a day that didn’t produce a lot of low scores, Northern Ireland’s Rory McIlroy and England’s Justin Rose, major winners both, charged into contention while Tiger Woods stayed in the chasing pack.

After things were settled at Bay Hill in Orlando, Fla., Stenson had held his own with a 1-under round of 71 to get to 12-under 204 and the lead, DeChambeau had finished even and was at 11 under, but McIlroy and Rose made big moves with 5-under 67s to move to 10 under and 9 under, respectively.

Stenson said, “I felt like I left one or two out there coming in and I definitely could have wrapped up a two- or three-shot lead for tomorrow, which would have been a nice cushion. But I guess it didn’t happen, and we just got to go out and play solid tomorrow to try and have a chance to win it.”

McIlroy, who is seeking his first victory in the United States since the Tour Championship in 2016, was 1 under for the day when he eagled the par-5 12th hole with a 7-foot putt. He added birdies on Nos. 16 and 18, including hitting his approach shot on the final hole within feet of the cup.

“Worked on my swing a little bit, found a feeling, found something I could go with into this week and hopefully beyond,” McIlroy, who tied for fourth at the event last year, told NBC Sports. “I came into this week really positive. It’s a golf course that of course I’ve played well before, and I just felt a little more in control of my game and in control of my swing.

“Felt like that if that could translate from practice to the golf course, then I could have a good week.”

McIlroy dropped to No. 13 in the Official World Golf Ranking after missing the cut at the Valspar Championship last week, and he has not finished better than a tie for 20th in four PGA Tour events this year.

Ryan Moore had a 3-under round to move to 9 under and a fourth-place tie with Rose. Charley Hoffman, Rickie Fowler, Talor Gooch and South Korea’s Byeong Hun An settled in at 8 under and a tie for sixth.

Woods shot a 3-under 69 to get to 7 under in the tournament, certainly within striking distance back in his prime.

He bogeyed the second hole but rallied to birdie three of his next four holes. Woods made the turn in 1-under 35 after a bogey on No. 8. After a birdie on No. 11, he sandwiched a bogey on the 17th with a pair of birdies, including one on the closing hole to climb a stroke closer toward contention.

He tied for 10th with Grayson Murray, Bud Cauley and Patrick Reed.

“I’m going to have to shoot a low one tomorrow and probably get a little bit of help,” Woods said.

“But my responsibility is to go out there and shoot a low one first.”

Large crowds continued to flock to catch a glimpse of Woods, even as he battled to stay within shouting distance of the leaders Saturday.

“It’s really different,” McIlroy said of the sounds that reverberate around a course when Woods is playing. “You know how he’s doing out there, you can tell by the reaction of the crowd. It’s great to have him back.

“Tiger Woods and golf is great for everyone … it’s great for the players, it’s great for (the media), and it’s great to have him back.”

So Sunday will be a big day at one of the biggest tournaments so far in 2018.

Atlanta put away the Whitecaps in the second half, scoring on an own goal in the 58th minute and tallies from Martinez in the 60th and 88th minutes.

Vancouver (2-1-0) has 18 road wins since 2015, the most in MLS during that stretch, but was hampered early by the removal of Waston. The Whitecaps had a good opportunity midway through the second half when defender Brek Shea found open space in the right side of the Atlanta box and fired a shot past Guzan, but the ball hit the post.

Vancouver returns home to host the Los Angeles Galaxy on March 24.

Atlanta gets two weeks off before traveling to play Minnesota United on March 31.

HAWKS

Giannis, Middleton take over despite red hot Prince Field Level Media Taurean Prince matched his career-high with 38 points but it wasn’t enough to halt the Atlanta Hawks’ losing streak, which grew to six games with a 122-117 loss to the Milwaukee Bucks Saturday evening at the Bradley Center.

Prince made 13 of 26 shots including four 3-pointers while grabbing eight rebounds with an assist and two blocked shots.

Atlanta also got 18 with nine assists from Denis Schroder and John Collins finished with 15 points and 12 rebounds as the Hawks shot 46 percent from the floor and connected on 12 of 36 from distance.

Giannis Antetokounmpo led Milwaukee with 33 points, 12 rebounds, seven assists, four steals and a pair of blocks. Khris Middleton overcame a slow start to finish with 23 while Eric Bledsoe scored 19 and Jabari Parker added 15 off the bench.

Antetokounmpo made 6 of 15 shots and had 18 points while Parker added 11 as the Bucks took a 56-50 lead at halftime.

Middleton missed 5 of 6 shots and scored only three points in the first half but scored 15 in the third as the Bucks stretched their lead to as many as 15 before taking a 95-87 lead into the fourth.

Atlanta wasn’t quite done.

A flagrant foul on

pass to North Gwinnett grad Ryan McDaniel with 6:57 left in the first half.

The Havoc really took control with another big play by the defense on Florida’s next possession.

Marcheaux Robinson picked off Wallace at his own 2-yard line, slid along the right sideboards and snaked his way through the Tarpons offense for a 48-yard pick six, widening the Havoc lead to 35-14 with 1:46 left in the half.

Florida tightened the gap to 35-21 by halftime, but a Rumph sack on the last play made sure the lead would head into intermission at 14 points with another sack.

Atlanta all but put the game away with its first possession of the second half.

Facing fourth and 20, Chapple managed to find Jones in the flat, and the Central Gwinnett grad turned the catch and run into a 32-yard gain to pick up the first down at the Florida 6.

Two plays and two penalties later, Chapple faked a handoff and took off on a bootleg to walk into the end zone for 2-yard TD run to cap a drive that ate 6:32 off the clock and ballooned the Havoc lead to 42-21 with 8:28 left in the third quarter.

Llewellyn drove the net and Jacksonville goalie Austin Lotz made the initial save, but Llewellyn stuck with the play. The rookie forward backhanded the rebound under Lotz to tie the game 2-2.

Defenseman Eric Shand scored 28 seconds later for a 3-2 lead.

Using a screen in front of Lotz, Shand whipped in a wrister from the top of the faceoff circle at 4:12.

And on the heels of some more dicey moments on their own power play, the Gladiators pushed the lead to 4-2 with 36.4 seconds left in the period.

Lane was in the slot to deflect a shot from the point for his second tally of the game.

The margin evaporated over a span of 41 seconds midway through the third.

Jacksonville banged home two quick goals by Elgin Pearce and Bobby MacIntyre to tie the game.

Weber called his one timeout and Atlanta stopped the bleeding, but couldn’t get back in front.

“The third and fourth goals against were preventable,” Weber said. “A slot breakdown, and we got puck watching for a backdoor. We need to be better in those situations.”

It’s nothing like spending four days getting up early in the morning and getting hammered with interviews, (psychological) tests and physicals, and then having to do the same thing over again.”

While Carter said he will likely participate in some positional drills during Georgia’s Pro Day coming up Wednesday in Athens, he is now pretty much playing a waiting game up until draft weekend April 26-28.

Several different draft profiles have him projected to be selected somewhere around the second or third round, though there are some that projected him higher. He says he tries to “stay away from mock drafts and stuff like that.”

But while there are still unknowns about which team Carter may wind up with and

in which round he is selected, one certainty is that he is definitely confident his fate will be considerably better than if he had forgone his senior season and made himself eligible for last year’s draft.

And given the payoff of the Bulldogs’ team successes, he is positive coming back for his

“I think when we went to Southern Slam … they seeded me pretty low,” Bozoian said. “Once I won that tournament, I feel like I got a little more recognition. Coach (Beuglas) got a little more confidence in me.

He started bumping me (up) to win matches at 195 when I was, like, 20 pounds lighter.”

And while he made some physical and technical improvements since last year, Bozoian goes back to his determination not to take anything for granted as being just as big a factor in his major improvement this season.

“My conditioning was a lot better this year.

I didn’t hold back. I wrestled every match like it was my last. … That’s what we kept saying,” Bozoian said. “My strength increased tremendously.

I was kind of skeptical about gaining a bunch of weight and getting stronger because I thought I was going to be a little slower. But the more I got stronger, the quicker I got.”

But as much as his personal successes made Bozoian’s senior season enjoyable, he took even more satisfaction in helping the Wolves repeat their sweep of the state duals and traditional team championships.

And perhaps the most satisfaction he got was not only the role he played in that team success, but also that his younger brother, freshman Dylan Bozoian, was also able to contribute.

He is hopeful the same sort of wrestle-to-thefinal-whistle attitude that helped propel him to success will help Dylan follow in his footsteps and forge his own path.

“Winning back-to-back duals (and traditional state) championships was great,” Bozoian said.

“But probably my favorite part — I know winning state was my dream — but my brother was an alternate on our team. He

world&nation world Activists: Syrian enclave many fled to hit by airstrikes Airstrikes rained down again Saturday in the Syrian enclave of Eastern Ghouta, according to activist group Damascus Media Center, as swarms of civilians continued to pour out of the battered rebel-held area not far from the nation’s capital.

Officials with different groups have placed widely varying figures of the number of refugees who are leaving Eastern Ghouta. The UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs says more 12,000 people have fled in the past few days. Syria’s ambassador to the United Nations says it is more than 40,000.

CNN cannot independently confirm the exact number of people fleeing as the advancing Syrian military continues to pound rebel targets in the eight-year civil war.

Mueller has McCabe’s Trump memos

By Laura Jarrett, PameLa Brown and Veronica StracquaLurSi CNN

Special counsel Robert Mueller has memos written by former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe documenting his conversations with President Donald Trump, a person familiar with the matter told CNN. The memos also detail what former FBI Director James Comey told McCabe about his own interactions with Trump while he was FBI director, the source said, and are seen as a way to corroborate Comey’s account in Mueller’s probe on Russian interference in the 2016 election.

Attorney General Jeff Sessions fired McCabe on Friday, about a day before his 50th birthday and the date he was set to retire and begin receiving his anticipated pension, over accusations that McCabe directed FBI officials to speak to Putin seeks more the media about an investigation tied to the Clinton grip on Russia in Foundation and misled president election investigators about his actions. Following his firing Russians voted today in a Friday, McCabe told CNN presidential election widely in an interview that he had expected to cement President four interactions with the Vladimir Putin’s power for president last May, while he another six years.

O.J. Simpson weighs in on Donald Trump and Colin Kaepernick

By Faith Karimi

Simpson was in prison during the 2016 presidential election, but he said Trump was not his preferred candidate.

“Somebody asked me if I’d have voted for him,” Simpson said. “Probably not, but I only know two of my friends I’d vote to be president. Some of my

Simpson did, however, offer another kind of endorsement.

“The one thing I can say about The Donald is The Donald is fun,” Simpson said. “Well, for a dude — and I consider myself a dude — Donald is a man’s man.”

Trump has said he was once friends with Simpson, but ditched the former running back when he was accused of murder.

uwanee residents love their city, and for those who also love photography, there’s no better way to share those two loves than by taking part in the annual Snap Suwanee photo contest.

This year’s winners have been announced — including Eric Rozell, who won the Judge’s Choice Award for a photo titled “Biking Til The Sun Goes Down” — and they represent 10 different views of the city, from City Hall and the Suwanee Greenway to the high school football field at North Gwinnett.

“Snap Suwanee is a fantastic opportunity to see the various aspects of our community through the eyes of our citizens and visitors,” Suwanee Public Information Officer Abby Wilkerson said. “The photos submitted for this year’s contest capture everything we love about Suwanee, including quite a few from unique perspectives that we’ve never seen before.”

Sponsored by Suwanee’s Public Arts Commission, the annual competition provides an opportunity for participants to share images that communicate something telling about the Suwanee community.

The winning photographs — chosen from nearly 60 entries — will be on display at Suwanee City Hall through February 2019, and will be recognized at the April council meeting.

Gwinnett schools participate in UPS STEM Day Central Gwinnett, Meadowcreek and South Gwinnett STEM Academy high school students recently participated in the first UPS STEM Day at the UPS Supply Chain Solutions office in Alpharetta.

The experience provided students with a glimpse into the various STEM careers available at UPS, allowed them to network with STEM professionals and gave insight into the skills necessary to excel in STEM-related industries.

Before attending the UPS STEM Day, students engaged in workforce development training coordinated by Community Sustainability Enterprises and President Deirdra Cox. Students learned how to introduce themselves to professionals and deliver a “30-second elevator speech”

Trevor McNaboe to explain to potential employers how they can add value to their organizations.

“Our goal was to provide access to an opportunity and real-world experience for these students,” Cox said.

That real-world experience involved UPS giving students a problem they to solve. Students collaborated to think outside the box to solve problems and show UPS officials their solutions.

Including three schools in one trip not only exposed more students to the world of STEM, but it also simulated an authentic working world.

“I liked having three schools here. The networking, and having like minds together, that is good and helps foster that connection,” UPS Manager Jennifer Edge said.

Plans for future UPS STEM Days are in discussion.

“A DIFFERENT VIEW” BY ERIC ROZELL

Everything is offensive, especially mathematics I wasn’t surprised a few weeks ago to hear that a high school student in Louisiana was accused of

drawing offensive symbols on his math test. I’ve found math offensive since approximately 1973.

In this case, the “offensive symbol” turned out to be a square root sign, which other students complained

looked like a gun. This raises a couple of questions: Have those students ever actually seen a gun? Have

they ever seen a math book?

No matter. They don’t have to know what a square root sign is, much less what a square root is, in order to get an A+ in social justice.

In fact, it helps not to know stuff. Ivy League schools are no doubt lining up to recruit them — although they may have to beat out the University of Illinois, where a professor has written a book showing how math is racist.

My sympathies are with the traumatized students.

Lots of math symbols ARE offensive. For example, in addition to the square root sign — which does kind of look like a gun, if you don’t know what a gun looks like and don’t know what a square root is — there’s the plus sign.

Have you ever examined a plus sign closely? It’s a little cross, the traditional symbol of Christianity.

Thus, using it in a school is a clear violation of the 28th Amendment, which states that government schools can never promote any religion unless some of its adherents are threatening to kill everyone.

For that matter, the plus sign is only four tiny bars away from being a swastika!

When all those millions of budding little white supremacists in our schools see that sign, they probably start thinking, “Heil, Trump!”

And how about the greater-than sign? What’s up with that? Don’t mathematicians understand that it’s racist or sexist or definitely some kind of -ist to suggest that anything is greater than anything else? Except iPhones, of course. They’re way better than Androids.

And don’t even get me started on the less-than

sign. I mean, how unfair is it to put down a number by saying it’s less than another number? That’s just not who we are as a people.

Even worse, all those Greek letters, like Pi and Sigma, look and sound suspiciously like the names of college fraternities and sororities. Everyone knows fraternities and sororities cater exclusively to white students, except for the thousands of black students who belong to fraternities and sororities.

Clearly, there’s only one mathematical symbol that is not an affront to women, minorities and other oppressed peoples everywhere: the equal sign. Because that is what we are — equal, in every single way. Or we’d darn well better be, if we know what’s good for us.

Just like those offended students in Louisiana, who are clearly every bit as smart as their classmates who actually know about math.

Rob Jenkins is a local freelance writer and college professor (who does not teach math). He is the author of four books, including “Family Man: The Art of Surviving Domestic Tranquility,” available at Books for Less in Buford and on Amazon. The views expressed here are his own.

‘Invested in their community’ Suwanee Youth Leaders names members of 2018 class

By IsaBel HugHes

isabel.hughes @gwinnettdailypost.com

Several dozen local students will soon make their presence known in the north Gwinnett community after recently being named members of the 2018 Suwanee Youth Leaders class.

The students, who make up the program’s fifth class, were chosen based on a combination of the strength of their application, feedback from a student-led selection committee made up of recent SYL graduates, recommendations from teachers and school administrators, academic performance and extracurricular resumes.

The eight-month leadership program for high school sophomores and juniors who live within the North Gwinnett, Peachtree Ridge or Collins Hills cluster districts, exposes participants to local initiatives with community and civic leaders while also allowing the city of Suwanee to engage with the youth and provide a “strong voice and active role in planning the city’s success,” a news release said.

“The Suwanee Youth

Washington, D.C. The show features the story of middleaged baseball fanatic Joe Boyd, who trades his soul to the Devil — also known as Mr. Applegate — for a chance to lead his favorite team to victory in the pennant race against the New York Yankees.

Tickets to the show are $27 to $35. They can be purchased online at www. bufordcommunitycenter.com.

Games take place from 6:30 to 8 p.m. on Fridays during the season.

For more information, email info@peachstatecornhole.com or visit www. peachstatecornhole.com.

Leaders program allows the city to make a genuine commitment to the youth in our community,” said Suwanee Downtown Business and Development Manager Adam Edge, a co-leader of the program. “While it’s an honor to win awards, it’s an even greater reward to see kids becoming invested in their community through this initiative.”

Assistant City Manager Denise Brinson said the program helps youth understand how their community’s government works, which, in turn, will hopefully encourage them to participate in community decisions.

“We now have a group of young people who have more knowledge of their community and how local government works, and the work that goes into building community,” Brinson said. “The city wanted to develop a real connection with our schools and find a way to meaningfully encourage youth involvement as prescribed in our strategic plan — not GRAYSON Library to host workshop on Ukrainian egg art The Grayson library is hosting a workshop at 4:30 p.m. March 27 to teach patrons about the Ukrainian tradition of decorating eggs known as pysanky.

A pysanka is a Ukranian Easter egg decorated with traditional Ukrainian folk designs using a wax-resist method. The word “pysanka” comes from the verb “pysaty” — to write — as the designs are not painted on, but written with beeswax.

The library workshop is open to adults and children who are at least 3 years old. Participants will make pysanky-inspired art.

The Grayson branch of the Gwinnett County Public Library is located at 700 Grayson Parkway. For more information, visit gwinnettpl. org.

LAWRENCEVILLE Bed Race returns to raise money for Family Promise The annual Bed Race will return to downtown Lawrenceville at 10:30 a.m. April 21.

The event will begin with a parade of beds at 10:30 a.m., and the racing begins at 11 a.m. in the youth, adult and clergy categories.

just checking a box, but building sincere, authentic relationships.”

The SYL program begins with a required twoday retreat in early March, and then students meet one Saturday each month from March through October.

They are expected to volunteer at several community events, which can include the city’s August concert, two Food Truck Friday events, Suwanee Fest or Arts in the Park.

LILBURN New playground, parking coming to City Park This summer, Lilburn residents will get a new playground in Lilburn City Park and more parking to serve downtown.

In a 2015 citizen survey conducted by the city, more than half of park users expressed a desire for new playground equipment, including a toddler area. The renovated playground will include separate areas for younger and older children, new equipment, a softer playing surface and better wheelchair accessibility.

The timing of these park improvements coincides with the construction of 55 town homes and storefronts on the square created by Railroad Avenue, Main Street, First Avenue and Lula Street. The former city maintenance parking lot on Railroad Avenue, which is currently used for public parking, will be a part of the mixed-use project by Old Town Lilburn Partners. The city will build a new parking lot in Lilburn City Park near the playground, at the site of the existing tennis courts.

The tennis courts will close May 1. Playground closure will be announced when a construction schedule is finalized.

The playground and parking lot construction will be funded by special purpose local option sales tax funds.

LOGANVILLE Loganville Woman’s Club hosts fashion show The Loganville Woman’s

The program recently won a Southeast Festivals and Events Association Bronze Kaleidoscope Award for most creative idea for collaborating with Suwanee Fest, and in 2016, won the Atlanta Regional Commission’s CREATE Community Award in the category of educational excellence.

For more information about the program, visit suwanee.com/community. youthleaders.php.

The company, which is led by CEO and Executive Director Jim Stone, was chosen to produce shows designed to engage the community and showcase the city. Stone’s company is offering local content creators who live or work in the city free photography, video and social media content workshops.

“It’s no secret that the use of video is on the rise,” Stone said. “Audiences are about 10 times more likely to engage, share and comment on video, which is a great way to tell Peachtree Corners’ story.”

Peachtree Positive, Momentum and The Corners, which made its debut March 8, are three shows developed to provide entertainment and designed to be a marketing tool for the city.

“One of the most important benefits of using video is expanded reach,” City Manager Brian Johnson said. “It gives you access to free, enormous traffic sources like YouTube and Vimeo, and it’s one of the most cost-effective ways to get the word out about our city.”

Viewers may access the shows on the city’s website or its YouTube and Vimeo channels.

SNELLVILLE Community Garden offering raised bed rentals The Community Garden of Snellville is offering raised beds that gardeners can rent for the 2018 gardening year beginning on April 1.

Bed rentals are available to city residents as well as those who live outside the city limits. Gardeners can choose between two sizes — 4-by-8 feet and 4-by-12 feet. Annual rental rates for city residents are $35 and $50 respectively, while those who live outside the city limits will be charged an additional $15.

The beds are partially filled with composted soil, to which gardeners may add garden soil and organic amendments. Water will also be provided.

Gardeners can rent the beds from the garden located next to T.W. Briscoe Park at 2500 Sawyer Parkway.

Want to be more successful? Fix your office The stories of businesses launching in garages and on kitchen tables are legends. Yet if you go back and look at those famous garages and tables, you won’t see a mess of dirty dishes and oil cans.

You see dedicated spaces devoted to work.

The aesthetics of your workplace matters.

Years ago, when I was a newly married 20-something, my husband and I were shopping for a dining set. It was what you did back then. As if somehow matching chairs were proof you were actual adults.

Standing in the furniture store contemplating the large (for us) purchase, I spied a beautiful office

Forget Perfect

Lisa McLeod setup on the other side of the showroom.

I sighed, ”That’s gorgeous, I wish I could have something like that.” At the time, I was an outside sales rep with a home office in the bonus room above our garage. My desk was cheap particleboard, my chair was old

and uncomfortable, and I had nothing on the walls except a few sales awards.

No one ever saw it but me; why bother making it anything other than bare basics?

My husband, who was not thrilled with spending big money on a dining room said, “You spend more time in your home office than we’ll ever spend in the dining room.

Why don’t you buy it?”

In that moment I realized, he was right. I spent at least two hours a day in my office, and I hated the way it looked. Just walking into it sent a signal: This is a crummy place for an unimportant person.

I bought the fancy desk setup on the spot. I then

hung art on the walls and bought beautiful desk accessories. I may have been working alone, but I had the nicest blue wooden file trays you’ll ever see.

Not surprisingly, my office attitude changed immediately. Every time I walked into my space, I felt special. The year after I decorated my office, I was the sales rep of the year.

When you’re bootstrapping it up, furnishings may seem like a frivolous luxury. And if you work in an endless sea of gray cubes, you may not realize how your environment impacts your attitude.

Humans are visual creatures. What we see affects how we feel, and how we feel impacts how

we behave. Whether you have a dedicated room, a cube or a tiny shelf in the corner of your apartment, what you see when you go to work matters.

Walk into a beautiful light-filled restaurant; your posture and mood improve before you even hit the maitre d’. Now walk into a dumpy fast food place, you feel icky the moment you cross the threshold.

If you want to improve at work, look at your own space. What does it tell you about the person who works there? Does it say, “This work matters?” Or “No one cares?”

Everyone deserves an inspiring workspace.

You don’t have to spend

a fortune or have a big space. Pinterest is filled with inexpensive hacks.

You can carve half a closet, or at the very least give yourself a beautiful screensaver and nice journal to use when you sit at your kitchen counter. If it improves your performance by 1 percent, it’s worth it.

It doesn’t matter if no one else sees it; you see it.

The message you get from your workspace informs the way you operate. You deserve to feel great.

Talladega memories still make me smile The sight of exit 173 on Interstate 20, between Anniston and Birmingham, always brings a smile to my face — the kind of smile that is irrepressible and makes me feel good all over.

It is the exit that leads to Talladega Superspeedway, a place that is filled with memories for me as a sports writer and later as a sponsor’s publicist on the NASCAR circuit. I could write a book of the days, overwhelmingly happy, that I spent in the midst of Alabama’s stifling heat, revved up rednecks and some of the dearest people I ever loved.

I’d call it “Talledega Days.”

It was Sunday afternoon — I spent dozens of Sunday afternoons there — so since I was driving home from Birmingham, I took the exit and headed back in time.

Nothing much has changed.

There’s still the same two old convenience stores and a firecracker shop there; the countryside, thankfully, remains untouched, and the Talladega Short Track is still dirt and very red. I took a somewhat secret side road that led me in the back, past the credentials office and the airport to the left. When I reached the back stretch, I stopped the car, got out, and I remembered.

I recalled the day I saw Bill Elliott go two laps down after a green flag stop to repair a brake line and how he, who had made a world track record in qualifying two days earlier, chased down the field under green and won the race. It was the first leg in a chase that would earn him — after winning the World 600 and Darlington’s Southern 500 — $1 million bonus from Winston.

I shuddered recalling the day that Bobby Allison’s red and white Buick lifted coming down the front straighta-way and went airborne.

In the press box, only feet away, I held my breath as the car flew upward and toward the crowd. At the last moment, his back wheel caught on the catch wire of the fence and tumbled him backwards. We all trembled as they red-flagged the race to repair the fence. It had almost been disastrous. When I tracked down Bobby, one of my drivers, in the family paddock, he was sitting on

Ronda Rich a folding chair, away from everyone except his son, Davey, who was crouched down beside him. Both were white, jittery and close to tears. Bobby could hardly speak, and Davey just shook his head. That’s the day that the restrictor plate was born.

I laughed at the memory of everyone gathered, preparing to start another race. After the prayer and in the midst of the national anthem, I glanced over to see a man, without shirt or shoes, dashing toward the pace car that was in line to start the field. The bandit jumped into the pace car and sped off. He was not drunk, just, as we like to say in the South, “not all there.” But he was smart enough to elude track security and Alabama State Patrol cars for a good 15 minutes as he led them around the track. It was the most entertaining race of the day.

I realized I was standing in the spot where one afternoon, as I was leaving the track following practice and crossing over the back straight, another car suddenly nudged up dangerously, its bumper touching mine slightly. Startled, I jumped and looked over to see Dale Earnhardt in the bully car, his window down and his laughter ringing. “Race ya,” He grinned. “I’ll give you a mile head start. Make it two.

I can still beat ya.”

The parade of memories continued until I could stand them no longer. My heart was full of both joy and gratitude. I returned to my car. As I drove slowly out that little back road, I took a lingering look at one of my happy places.

Then I smiled so much that I started to cry.
