Gwinnett Place to up security for the holidays

BY ISABEL HUGHES isabel.hughes@gwinnettdailypost.com

Pulling up next to a car parked behind the Esplanade at Gwinnett Place Shopping Center, Gwinnett Place Community Improvement District Security Patrol Officer Tom Reilly rolled down his window, motioning to the other driver to also lower his window.

“You doing OK?” Reilly asked the man, who nodded his head and replied, “Yes, sir.”

As Reilly drove away, he glanced in his rear-view mirror, noting that the man had turned on his headlights.

“That’s generally the approach I like to take with people — (ask) MORE INSIDE if they’re OK,” Two Gwinnett malls to open on Thanksgiving ...5A Reilly said.

“If I thought that guy was up to no good back there, I’d call the police; if I thought he was cooking meth, I’d (call) 911. But generally, they drive away pretty quickly after (we talk), especially the lovers lane people.”

Though Reilly usually works the night shift, Friday afternoon’s patrol didn’t deviate dramatically from his normal routine, which consists of monitoring the roads, parking lots and businesses within the Gwinnett Place CID. The officers, who are provided See GWINNETT PLACE, Page 5A

As she crouched down and a red, white and blue quilt was slowly and carefully draped upon her shoulders during a ceremony at Saint Lawrenceville Catholic Church in Lawrenceville on Thursday, U.S. Army veteran Mary Clements smiled brightly.

The quilt was a handmade gift, a token of appreciation really, from the members of Gwinnett chapter of Quilts of Valor. The nationwide quilting group makes quilts for military veterans as a way to say “Thank You” to veterans for their service, and to show them that there are people in the community care who about them and appreciate what they did for their

“You could feel the spirit behind the quilt as it was placed on your body,” she said. “It was made with love … I could actually feel being comforted (and) being safe. I wish I’d had it when I was in Desert Storm.”

Bourdeaux, Taylor seek recounts in Warbington, Bomar elected to regional transit board congressional, school board races

By Curt Yeomans

curt.yeomans @gwinnettdailypost.com

Democrats Carolyn Bourdeaux and Wandy Taylor are seeking recounts of the results in the 7th Congressional District and Gwinnett County Board of Education District 2 races.

Gwinnett County spokesman Joe Sorenson said Taylor has filed a request for a recount in the school board race. Taylor trailed Republican candidate Steve Knudsen by 118 votes, or a margin of 50.06 percent to 49.87 percent, in results certi-

fied Thursday night.

“Well, here we are. Only 118 of 62,954 votes separate us,” Taylor announced on Facebook. “Yes! There will be a recount. I owe it to all the people who voted for me to see this through to the very end.”

Bourdeaux’s campaign announced it will ask for a recount once the Secretary of State’s office has certified the statewide results in the election. Bourdeaux trails Republican incumbent U.S. Rep. Rob Woodall by 419 votes, or a margin of 50.07 percent to 49.93 percent.

“It is crucial that every eligible vote is counted and every voice is heard,” Bourdeaux spokesman Jake Best said.

“We want to make sure every vote was counted correctly and fairly, and that is why we intend to request a recount of this race.”

Meanwhile, the designations for Ga. 20 and Ga. 124 will be moved to Jackson Street. The designation for Ga. 120 would also end at Ga. 316 instead of continuing on West Pike Street to its current terminus in downtown Lawrenceville, according to the maps.

“Our partners at the Gwinnett DOT and State DOT offices have been incredible to work with on this project from the beginning,” Warbington said. “We are grateful to them for their support and diligence in helping us to efficiently realize this initiative.”

Political Notebook

Curt Yeomans Gwinnett County residents will make up nearly one-quarter of the 16-member board that will decide metro Atlanta’s transit future.

The Atlanta-Region Transit Link Authority announced Lawrenceville City Manager Chuck Warbington and Gateway85 Community Improvement District Executive Director Marsha Anderson Bomar will fill two of the 10 “Transit District” seats on the ATL Board of Directors.

They will join Gwinnett County Chuck Warbington Commission Chairwoman Charlotte Nash, who was previously appointed to the board by Georgia Speaker of the House David Ralston, on the body. The Marsha Anderson board will craft a Bomar plan for the future of transit expansion in metro Atlanta.

Bomar will represent Transit District 2, which includes parts of Fulton, Forsyth and Gwinnett counties, including the cities of Norcross, Peachtree Corners, Berkeley Lake, Duluth, Suwanee, Sugar Hill, Buford, Rest Haven, Braselton, Johns Creek, Sandy Springs, Roswell, Alpharetta and Cumming.

Warbington will represent Transit District 6, which includes parts or all of the cities of Auburn, Dacula, Grayson, Lawrenceville, Lilburn, Norcross, Loganville, Snellville and Suwanee.

Transit District representatives on the board were chosen by caucuses that included local elected officials and state legislators, according to the authority.

Bomar and Warbington will each serve four-year terms on the board.

Two other members of the ATL board that have some sort of tie to Gwinnett include Teddy Russell, who is president of Sugar Hillbased Russell Landscape Group, and Mark Toro, who is head of the firm handling the Revel development at the Infinite Energy Center.

Russell and Toro were appointed

by Lt. Gov. Casey Cagle.

Gwinnett Democrats holding party elections Dec. 13 The Gwinnett County Democratic Party announced Friday that it will be holding elections next month for leadership positions in the local party.

The announcement said party members will be choosing members for the executive committee, as well as chapter officers Dec. 13 at the party headquarters in Gwinnett Place Mall, which is located at 2100 Pleasant Hill Road in Duluth.

The elections will last from 6:30 to 9 p.m.

As far as the executive committee seats go, the announcement said members will elect six members from each of the county’s commission districts. Candidates for officer positions must already be on the executive committee, party officials said.

Officer positions include chairman, first vice-chairman, second vice-chairman, treasurer and secretary.

“Only current Executive Committee members are permitted to vote for the officer and committee positions,” party officials said in their announcement.

Gwinnett Bicentennial Year of Celebration

City of Norcross participates in torch run From Staff Reports The city of Norcross joined in the Gwinnett Bicentennial Year of Celebration by participating in the Gwinnett Torch Run on Thursday.

Norcross High School cross country and track runners served as the torchbearers alongside the Norcross Mayor Craig Newton.

They carried the torch to Norcross City Hall, where it will be held on display along with panels telling Gwinnett’s 200-year history until Nov. 26.

more online Visit gwinnettdailypost.com for a photo gallery.

City residents and staff awaited the runners, cheering them on at City Hall.

A reception was held in the City Hall lobby for all in attendance.

Like the torch of the Olympic Games, the bicentennial torch represents goodwill and the connection between communities. The relay represents the journey that Gwinnett County has

undergone in its 200 years, from 1818 to today, from a largely agrarian community to one of the fastest growing, most diverse counties in the Southeast.

Runners from Gwinnett County Public Schools have carried the torch to various historic sites, public facilities and cities in Gwinnett throughout the bicentennial year of 2018, and will continue to do so until culminating at the county’s 200th Birthday Celebration on Dec. 15 at the Infinite Energy Center in unincorporated Duluth.

Norcross Mayor Craig Newton and members of the Norcross High cross country and track teams participated in the Gwinnett Bicentennial Torch Run, bringing the torch to the Norcross City Hall where it will be on display until Nov. 26.

Blair reflects on his historic school board election, future

By Trevor McNaboe trevor.mcnaboe @gwinnettdailypost.com

As the voting precincts continued to report results, Everton Blair Jr. walked around the room, surrounded by friends, family members and supporters of his bid to become a Gwinnett County Public Schools school board member.

By 2 a.m. Wednesday morning, when the Annistown Elementary School precinct tallied its final vote, Blair finally sent out his thank you email to supporters backing him over the past 10 months in his historic run as the youngest and first minority to hold a seat on the GCPS school board.

“We were really encouraged early on. All of the early votes were tabulated and we jumped out to an early lead and were able to compare that group for the folks that voted,” Blair said.

“We were excited and there was an electrifying energy throughout the night.”

Blair announced his intentions to run in January, months before the March qualifying deadline for the primary.

Twenty-five years old at the time, he was prepared to give back to a community he grew up in.

“It all started here. It made so much sense to see the role that I could play in this area,” Blair said. “There are students walking around the halls I walked and were just like me, and it’s one of the reason I ran.”

Blair will take over the District 4 seat from Robert McClure, who has been on the school board since 1995 — when Blair was not even 3 years old.

Although he is the first black person on the

Shiloh graduate Everton Blair Jr. won the GCPS school board District IV seat Tuesday night. Blair became the first black person to be elected to the school board in GCPS history. (File Photo)

school board, Blair said it is his homegrown appeal that rallied people to vote for him.

A 2009 graduate of Shiloh High School, Blair’s passion for Gwinnett County education goes beyond his formative years in the Shiloh cluster. He graduated with an undergraduate degree from Harvard and a master’s degree from Stanford. He became involved in education, teaching at KIPP Atlanta Collegiate, a charter school in the Dixie Hills neighborhood of Atlanta, and served in the Obama administration as a Policy and Advocacy Fellow at the White House Initiative on Educational Excellence for African Americans.

“I think it just reaffirms aspects of our very diverse community,” Blair said of being the first person of color on the board. “I’m very connected to our current teachers and students.

There is a need for us to embrace the 2018 Gwinnett. It looks different and diverse, and there’s nothing wrong with that.”

Although he doesn’t officially begin his term with the school board until January, Blair has consistently attended

school board work sessions and regular business sessions.

“I went to the work sessions because that is where a lot of the actual work and in-depth explanations occur,” Blair said. “That has really given me an idea of how things operate.”

Blair said he is committed to focusing on education policy during his term.

“Teaching and learning is what I’m focused on,” Blair said. “We’re here to ensure kids graduate and are college ready. I’m excited to learn more about what teachers are doing and how we can support them. As a teacher, I understand how hard it can be.”

Blair said the thing he is most looking forward to next year is attending graduation at Shiloh High.

“My 10-year anniversary for Shiloh is next year. I’ll be serving multiple roles as giving remarks but also as someone that was there 10 years ago,” Blair said.

“It’s a powerful role, and I want students to know there are no limits to achievement. If they see something that needs to be done, they should pursue it.”

Polio-like virus a mystery DEAR DR. ROACH: I am reading about an illness called acute flaccid myelitis that is baffling scientists. Isn’t this just polio renamed?

— V.A. ANSWER: Acute flaccid myelitis is indeed a medical mystery. The current outbreak absolutely is not caused by polio, however.

Many people are referring to it as “polio-like” because it causes sudden neurological symptoms, especially weakness and especially in young children, just as polio did before the vaccine was adopted.

However, the diagnosis of polio requires finding poliovirus, and the people affected in the current outbreak have been tested for, and do not have, poliovirus.

The last case of polio originating in the United States was in 1979. Vaccination for polio is still important, however, because it potentially can be brought by a traveler from one of the few areas where there is still wild polio.

There have been outbreaks of acute flaccid myelitis in the United States and Canada every fall for years; however, it seems to have been increasing in incidence since 2014.

It remains a rare disease, on the order of one person per million per year.

There is a virus related to poliovirus called enterovirus D68 that is suspected to be one of several causes of acute flaccid myelitis. West Nile Virus is another suspected cause. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention tests samples from affected children with the condition and has not consistently found a single cause.

There is no specific treatment for AFM, just as there is no treatment for polio when it affects the nerves. Supportive treatment in the early phase, and physical and occupational therapy during convalescence are the only accepted treatments. The prognosis is variable, with some children having excellent recoveries and others having more significant neurological impairment.

DEAR DR. ROACH: How effective is the flu vaccine for seniors 65 and over?

— L.F.G. ANSWER: Not as much as we’d like it to be, but still a lot better than none.

The flu vaccine is created every year based on the best available knowledge of circulating strains, and each year is a little different. The vaccine for 2017-18 was estimated to be about 40 percent effective, meaning people who got the vaccine were 40 percent less likely to need to see a doctor for the flu. Over 900,000 people were hospitalized for the flu, 58 percent of them over 65, and the vast majority of the 80,000 people who died from the flu last year were seniors. Most of the deaths were in people who didn’t receive the vaccine.

Every year I hear people give me reasons not to take the flu shot. For those who say they have never taken the shot and never gotten the flu, I would respond that you need to get the flu only once to become seriously ill. To those who say it isn’t completely effective, I’d say reducing your risk by 40 percent is still worth a few minutes of time and a sore arm for a day, which is by far the most common adverse reaction.

With less than a week until Thanksgiving, shoppers are gearing up for Black Friday and the preChristmas rush.

To help ease some shopping stress, two Gwinnett malls have announced they will be open Thursday, as well as Friday.

Buford’s Mall of Georgia will open at 5 p.m. on Thanksgiving and stay open until 1 a.m., after which it will close briefly before re-opening at 6 a.m.

The mall will remain open until 10 p.m. Friday, and re-open at 8 a.m. Saturday, until 10 p.m.

Sunday’s hours are 11 a.m. to 8 p.m.

Sugarloaf Mills will also open Thursday, beginning at 6 p.m., and like the Mall of Georgia, it will stay open until 1 a.m.

The center will follow the Mall of Georgia’s Black Friday hours — 6 a.m. to 10 p.m., though will be open from 9 a.m. until 10 p.m. on Saturday.

On Sunday, its hours will be noon to 7 p.m.

Duluth’s Gwinnett Place Mall has not yet announced Thanksgiving or Black Friday hours, though the mall is normally open from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Thursday, 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. Friday and Saturday and noon to 6 p.m. on Sundays.

For Thanksgiving and Black Friday sales, visit the malls’ respective websites.

A police report concerning Cephas’ arrest listed the car he was in as having an expired licence plate and expired car insurance. It also listed a different person as being the owner of the car. Another officer was called in to help the initial officer.

“As we were standing by my patrol car, I explained to (the second officer) what was going on,” Officer Charles Johns wrote in his statement for the report.

“The subject got out of his vehicle and started walking to the right front

“Once the subject reached the front of the vehicle, he began running across the roadway and into the woods at the corner of the intersection.”

Johns chased Cephas into the woods and the two men got into an altercation when Cephas allegedly tried to pull a .357 Magnum revolver out of his pants, according to the police report.

At one point Cephas allegedly began kicking Johns in the face as the officer tried to place him in handcuffs.

Another officer tried to use a TASER to subdue Cephas, but it missed him.

Eventually, Ajanovic’s police K-9, Ajax, subdued the suspect.

Police escorted Cephas as Gwinnett County firefighters took him to Gwinnett Medical Center.

Infinite Energy Arena debuts throwback-themed concession stand

The Infinite Energy Arena is giving a whole new meaning to the throwback concept in sports.

Instead of throwback uniforms, the arena is welcoming a new concession stand in partnership with Proof of the Pudding that features a throwback concession theme. The stand, called Cheap Eatz, debuted

through a contract the district has with Paradigm Security but are not police and don’t have weapons or arrest powers, usually patrol from 7 a.m. to 2 a.m. Monday through Friday and noon to 2 a.m.

Saturday and Sunday, though the CID increases the patrols during the holiday season. “(We’re looking for) the same things, it’s just intensified during the holidays, the shopping season,” Reilly said. “Almost everything on our route is connected to shopping, except for some of the office buildings and hotels, so we’re just looking out for the larger crowds, because the larger crowds bring out the people who want to prey on those crowds. I don’t mean to sound pessimistic, but we’re paid to watch for that kind of stuff.”

That kind of stuff, as Reilly calls it, is anything from aggressive panhandlers who might deter shoppers from patronizing a store to criminals who target parcel-laden cars.

“We don’t want to make the shoppers paranoid (by increasing patrols), but I think when they see a police car or a security patrol car or even a security guy in a uniform standing around, it makes hem feel a little more at ease,” Reilly said. “I’m not Superman and I can’t do everything for them, but I think just the sight of a patrol vehicle and a uniform makes them feel better. So we’ll be watching for more of the same, because more of the same will be happening.”

While that “more of the same” — or looking out for suspicious activity — takes up much of the security officers’ time, it’s not all they do, Reilly said.

“I really see us doing three functions,” he said.

“Security work, of course, then we do safety work, (such as) reporting signs that are just dangling from a hook or directional signs that are knocked down, and we’re also kind of the ambassadors for the CID area.”

Safety work and acting as ambassadors for the CID inherently ties into providing security, which, in turn, leads to more prosperity and hopefully economic development, said Gwinnett Place CID Executive Director Joe Allen.

“We take very seriously

the broken window scenario,” Allen said. “If we see graffiti, if we see a a light that’s out, we’re then getting with the property manager or owner to take care, because that’s an easy way to combat crime.

It says that somebody’s watching, that there’s eyes out there.”

Allen said the lighting aspect is especially important — so much so that the patrol officers complete a weekly light report.

“A well-lit area is inviting,” Allen said.

“Just from an economic development standpoint, if a traveler is coming off the interstate and making the decision, ‘do I want to stay here, do I want to spend my money at a restaurant or a hotel,’ if they look down and see trash, if they see graffiti, if they see lights are off, they’re like, ‘I’m going to move on.’”

The same applies to the undesirable people, though, Reilly said.

“From my perspective, the unlit areas that are supposed to be lit are inviting too, but to the other part of society,” he said.

“Being visible is very important, and that’s why we have the patrol cars. When we’re going through the parking lots and back alleys, we have our yellow lights flashing.”

While those yellow lights do mean someone is watching for criminals, Reilly said shoppers also need to take certain steps to ensure their own safety.

“I know they hear the same things every year, but it’s really just common sense,” he said. “Be aware of your surroundings, both when you’re inside a store and when you’re outside a store, but especially when you’re outside a store.

One of the big things is, everybody is wearing ear buds these days. Ear buds have an interesting way of relaxing you, but they also have an interesting way or shunting out your surroundings. Don’t put them on if (you’re walking) to your car.”

When a shopper gets to his or her car, too, Reilly said, they shouldn’t just sit there.

“If (you) have to, lock the doors immediately so that someone can’t come up and pull open the door,” he said. “It’s just a bunch of common sense things, but even people with the most common sense seem to let it go out the window during the holiday season.”

The local Quilts of Valor members present upwards of about 100 or more quilts a month.

They do ceremonies with groups of veterans, but also do presentations to veterans who cannot make it to those ceremonies, including nearly weekly presentations to veterans who are in the Shepherd Center’s SHARE program to help veterans with severe injuries.

“A lot of us come from military families,” Quilts of Valor Tracking Coordinator Gerry Kraus said. “It’s a way of saying ‘Thank You’, especially to people who may have been forgotten when they came home. It’s also our way of letting them know we care. They are not forgotten. We care and hope to comfort them through the quilt.”

Army veteran Dale Foster said his wife kept the fact that he was going to receive a quilt a secret until he arrived at the church. She only told him he needed to be there at 10:30 a.m., and it was upon his arrival that realized he had been summoned there to be honored for his military

The stand will be located

across from Sections 111 and 112 and will be open during Atlanta Gladiators and Georgia Swarm home games during those teams’ 2018-2019 seasons.

service.

“It’s amazing that (Quilts of Valor is) willing to go through the efforts,” he said. “They don’t even ask what we’ve been through or how bad it was or how good it was.”

Foster served in the Army for about 15 years, from 1988 to 2003. The first nine years were on active duty, and the rest were in the Army National Guard. Foster said the quilt, and the ceremony as a whole, made him think

about training missions at Fort Chaffee in Arkansas where he was trying to stay warm at night. He also reflected on cold nights when he fought in the Gulf War.”I remember one night, I was so cold that I went and found a Humvee and got warm by it’s exhaust,” he said.

“That was just a training mission, but you wouldn’t believe how cold it gets (in the Persian Gulf area).”

Meanwhile, Clements said her quilt was an

honor on par with, if not more meaningful, than the medals and honors she received while she was in the Army.

“It was genuine and from the heart and heartfelt,” she said.

In addition to Clements and Foster, the veterans recognized at this past week’s ceremony in Lawrenceville included Robert Bowen, William Burney, Harold Deets, Roy Ficklin, Matthew Greene, Lisa Lassiter, John Pittman and Sheila Usry.

But Abrams sounded the alarm bell on elections integrity in Georgia on Friday. She announced she is launching a new organization called Fair Fight Georgia to ensure fair elections in the state.

That group is expected to soon file a “major federal lawsuit” against the state over the way the general election was managed, Abrams said.

And while she will not continue her fight to become governor, Abrams is turning her attention to getting Democratic Party Secretary of State candidate John Barrow elected in the upcoming runoff for that seat in December.

Barrow and Republican candidate Brad Raffensperger will face each other in the Dec. 4 runoff election.

world Protests over French fuel cost leave 1 dead, dozens injured

A protester was accidentally run over and killed by a car during a demonstration over rising fuel prices, a top official in eastern France said Saturday.

Mass demonstrations causing roadblocks across the country are part of the “gilets jaunes” or “yellow vests” movement, which opposes mounting gas prices and eco-taxes on polluting forms of transport.

The death occurred when a driver “panicked” and ran over someone after arriving at a blockade for an undeclared protest not far from the city of Lyon, Louis Laugier, the prefect of the Savoie region, said at a news conference.

A further 227 people were injured — six severely — in protests across the country, and 73 people were taken into police custody, the Interior Ministry said in a statement. Five police officers suffered slight injuries, and one was severely injured. Another five gendarmes were hurt as well.

Missing sub found a year after it vanished with 44 aboard A missing Argentine naval submarine has been found, a year and a day after it vanished in the South Atlantic with 44 crew members on board, authorities said Saturday.

The wreckage of the ARA San Juan, which “suffered an implosion,” was found about 2,850 feet down on the ocean floor, Argentine naval Capt. Gabriel Attis later told reporters in Buenos Aires.

Family members at the navy headquarters were shown three images of the remains of the San Juan’s “sail,” or tower, and bow sections.

Hours before the wreckage was positively identified, the Argentine navy tweeted an image of a point of interest on the seabed, suggesting that a 60-meterlong object might be the missing vessel. An American company contracted

world&nation Trump views Camp Fire damage

By Nicole Chavez, Steve Almasy and Chandrika Narayan CNN

More than 1,000 people are unaccounted for and thousands of survivors are living in cars and tents as California’s deadliest wildfire enters a second week.

“It is overwhelming, I don’t have any word to describe it,” Butte County Sheriff and Coroner Kory Honea told CNN on Saturday. “This is unprecedented. No one has had to deal with this magnitude that caused so much destruction and regrettably so much death.”

Saturday, President Donald Trump went to California and got a firsthand look at the burned-out town of Paradise, where many breathing-mask-wearing onlookers stood by the road taking photos. Accompanying Trump were Gov. Jerry Brown and Gov.-elect Gavin Newsom.

“We’re all going to work together and we’ll do a real job, but this is very sad to see,” Trump said.

With the Camp Fire’s death toll now at 71, the list of those missing from the fire zone has grown to 1,011 names, though that may change after authorities follow up with families, officials cautioned.

“We are so happy to welcome Major to the Biden family, and we are grateful to the Delaware Humane Association for their work in finding forever homes for Major and countless other animals,” read a statement from the Bidens, signed the former vice president, his wife, Jill Biden, and Champ, their other German shepherd.

The Delaware Humane Association announced the adoption news on Facebook, writing in a post that Major “is from the litter of German shepherd pups that were surrendered and not doing well at all.”

A 3D printer with a recycling device is headed to space station

By Dakin Andone CNN

The International Space Station’s first 3D printer with its own recycling machine is en route to the orbital laboratory aboard a Northrop Grumman spacecraft.

The Cygnus spacecraft launched early Saturday morning aboard an Antares rocket, carry-

The load includes the space station’s first all-in-one 3D printer and recycler, known as the “Refabricator,” NASA said.

It will be able to take plastic materials and old 3D-printed parts on the space station and recycle them into new 3D-printer “ink” that will allow astronauts to make new tools in space.

The technology will also “greatly reduce the need to continually launch large supplies of new material and parts for repairs and maintenance,” NASA said.

That, in turn, should reduce the

cost of the resupplying the space station.

The first 3D-printed object manufactured in space was made in 2014, NASA said.

The spacecraft launched from NASA’s Wallops Flight Facility on the Eastern Shore of Virginia, and is expected to reach the ISS and dock at about 5:20 a.m. on Monday, NASA said.

The Cygnus craft was named

the SS John Young, after NASA’s longest-serving astronaut, according to Northrop Grumman.

Young was the commander of NASA’s first shuttle mission and has been recognized as a pioneer in human spaceflight. He died in January.

This is the 10th cargo resupply mission for Northrop Grumman, a major national security contractor for the U.S., the company said.

Brookwood High to rename its theater after longtime directors

BY TREVOR MCNABOE trevor.mcnaboe @gwinnettdailypost.com

Brookwood High School’s theater is getting a new name following unanimous approval from the Gwinnett County Public Schools Board of Education on Thursday.

Brookwood’s local school council requested the theater to be named Ken and Patty Lindahl Performing Arts Center in honor of the couple, who served as theater directors for 30 years prior to retiring in 2013.

During their three decades beginning in 1983, the Lindahls produced and directed more than 200 plays and musicals.

“These two individuals have done tremendous work at Brookwood and it has one of best fine arts departments in the country,” GCPS Superintendent J. Alvin Wilbanks said. “I think this would be a real tribute

to them.”

In 2003, Ken Lindahl was inducted in the Georgia Thespian Hall of Fame.

One decade later in 2013, Patty Lindahl joined him.

According to school principal Bo Ford, Brookwood plans to honor the Lindahls during the spring with signage and also a dedication ceremony.

“They were teachers and educators that set the bar for fine arts not only at Brookwood but also the district,” Ford said. “They were the leaders for several decades and I’ve had the honor of working with them since I was hired as an assistant principal in 2007.”

Being a theater director runs in the Lindahl family. Their daughter Laura is Brookwood’s current theater director and their other daughter Sarah is the theater director at Mill Creek.

“These wonderful educators have dedicated their lives to the students of

Gwinnett County and given Brookwood High School over three decades of excellence,” Ford said. “They possess servant hearts and truly love our students.

Brookwood is lucky to still have their involvement as volunteers and blessed to have Laura Lindahl and Leann Hedrick carry on the tradition of excellence that the Brookwood community and Lindahl family is so well known for.”

District IV board member Robert McClure said it was an honor to make the motion to approve the naming of the theater.

“I am amazed at what they’ve done and the fine arts department at Brookwood is legendary,” McClure said. “They did a remarkable job and changed a lot of children’s lives.”

No tentative date has been set for the dedication; however, Ford said school officials are planning for it to be during the school’s spring musical.

Downtown Norcross restaurants to reduce use of plastic straws

BY ISABEL HUGHES

isabel.hughes @gwinnettdailypost.com

A number of restaurants in Norcross’ historic downtown recently pledged to become more environmentally friendly, announcing they will no longer automatically provide patrons with plastic straws.

On Friday, the city announced a new campaign targeting single-use disposable plastic, called StrawLess Norcross, which was designed by the Sustainable Norcross Commission citizen board.

The initiative is projected

to reduce the number of plastic drinking straws by more than 50,000 in its first year.

“Plastic straws are useful only for a short time and then are hard to recycle, slow to degrade in a landfill and one of the top 10 most common types of litter in the environment,” said Laura Hernandez, Sustainable Norcross Commission member and founder of Gwinnett Recycles. “Our hope is that StrawLess Norcross will decrease waste and spark important conversations around environmental sustainability in our community and beyond.”

Though the restaurants that have joined StrawLess Norcross will no longer automatically give patrons a straw with their drinks, straws will still be available upon request to patrons who need or want them.

Norcross is one of only two communities in metro Atlanta that are certified Platinum Green by the Atlanta Regional Commission in recognition of a significant commitment to sustainability.

The StrawLess Norcross campaign will expand to restaurants outside of the downtown area in early 2019.

No. 8 Archer knocks off No. 2 Parkview on a late TD; game ends on controversial play

By Taylor Denman

QUARTERFINALS SCHEDULE

taylor.denman @gwinnettdailypost.com

LILBURN — Two teams that seemed so evenly matched on paper turned in a secondround playoff classic that No. 2 and No. 8 teams in Class AAAAAAA are billed to produce.

No. 2 Parkview fell behind No. 8 Archer in the fourth quarter but took a late lead on an 86yard TD run from sophomore running back Cody Brown, who produced his third consecutive 200-yard rushing game.

Archer’s ability to answer Parkview’s challenges on Friday night at the Big Orange Jungle clinched a 36-29 win and a quarterfinal playoff berth against Tift County. Andrew Booth returned a kickoff 56 yards and quarterback Carter Peevy found Braylen Weems down the sideline for a 41-yard reception with fewer than two minutes left in the game.

Archer running back Semaje Banks, who tallied 95 yards on 30 carries, delivered the knockout punch for Archer on a 5-yard run on the following play.

Archer (10-2) trailed 17-14 at halftime and shut out Parkview (11-1) in the third quarter. The Tigers went up 28-17 with 10:36 left in the game before Parkview

SUWANEE — Like many earlyseason basketball events across the state, the Jared Cook Tip-Off Classic gives coaches a prime opportunity to tweak their teams in live-action scenarios without the worry of region standing or playoff implications.

For the Archer boys, the three-day annual hoops showcase was a chance to test its aggressive, high-pressure style outside of practice. It passed in flying colors with an 88-56 win over Gabriel Price Lanier in Saturday’s tipoff opener at North Gwinnett High School.

“Just energy, on-ball defense, and offensive execution,” Tigers head coach Joel Lecoeuvre said. “I thought we checked all those boxes today.”

C.J. Hines scored 17 points and Gabe Price added 16 with six rebounds for Archer (1-1), which maintained a comfortable lead for the majority of the contest sans a couple of Longhorn scoring runs that threatened the Tigers’ advantage but never overcame it.

One of those runs, an 11-0 surge by Lanier (2-1) to open the second half, turned a 40-24 Archer halftime lead into a five-point affair with 5:43 left in the third quarter. It came at the hands of Jehloni James, who capped seven quick points with a powerful one-handed dunk.

But the Tigers out-scored the Longhorns 33-8 over the remainder of the third quarter and into the fourth, turning the contest into a blowout long before the final buzzer.

“They came out with some man pressure and some run-and-jump stuff and turned us over a little bit,” Lecoeuvre said. “Once we settled in we started attacking and got back on the plus side.

We really just kind of play the same way, because we’re small.”

That small lineup, which was shorthanded for the majority of the first half when two starters departed the game due to injuries, featured 10 different scorers and four players in double digits. Brent Smith was one of those hurt starters when he left midway through the second quarter after cutting his chin on the floor, but returned after halftime and scored 11 points with six rebounds. Cameron Lee added another 10.

“We’re going to play 10 or 11 guys every night,” Lecoeuvre said. “They know they’re going to go three or four minutes hard, then another group is coming in. Everybody has to be to be really unselfish to play that way, and our guys are like that and are buying into the system.”

Defensively, Archer had its hands full containing the larger bodies of Lanier’s lineup, including James (12 points, six rebounds) and Sion James (12 points, seven rebounds). Sean Foster was the only other Longhorn in double figures with 10.

As if scoring a touchdown on defense wasn’t enough for Alexander, he took advantage of a bad snap on a Norcross 43-yard field-goal attempt, snatching the ball and racing 45 yards to the end zone for his second touchdown, putting the Rams up 30-10 with 2:05 to go in the third quarter.

“Our special teams has improved from the start of the season,” Hunnicutt said. “They just keep working.”

GGC WOMEN’S SOCCER

Team wins first NAIA tourney game A.C. Carter posts 26 for Wesleyan

By Will Hammock

will.hammock @gwinnettdailypost.com

LAWRENCEVILLE — Saturday night’s victory was nothing new for Mike Giuliano, but it is pretty special for his young Georgia Gwinnett College women’s soccer program.

The veteran coach, in his second season with the Grizzlies, led his team to a milestone, 3-0 victory over Columbia College (Mo.) in the NAIA Opening Round on a chilly night at the Lawrenceville campus. The win was GGC’s first NAIA Tournament victory after losing in the first round in its previous two appearances.

“It’s special every single time,” said Giuliano, a career 400-game winner with four NAIA national championships. “I haven’t done it for many, many years so it’s really special again. … It still feels as wonderful as it did when I was a kid doing this 25 years ago.”

Freshman sensation Victoria Bischof scored twice in a threegoal first half, and Macarena Errazuriz put in a header off a corner kick, which was plenty of offense to send the team to the NAIA National Championships beginning Tuesday, Nov. 27 in Orange Beach, Ala. The first foe for the No. 7 national seed is No. 10 seed Lindsey Wilson (Ky.), which GGC defeated 2-1 on Oct. 19.

GGC (17-3) extended its

record for most wins in a season with its seventh straight victory, and its 10th in 11 home matches. Saturday also marked another first — the program’s first time hosting an Opening Round match.

“It’s amazing (to win the first NAIA postseason match),” said GGC defender Stina Andersson. “The people who have been here four years, the seniors have been through it all.

We won our first conference game ever as a program, we were there. Our first national opening round appearance, we were there. Second one, we were there. Now first appearance in the final site, we are there. It’s pretty fantastic. It’s pretty amazing.”

The solid victory was a nice home sendoff for the 14 seniors on the Grizzlies’ roster. Eight of the starting 11 were seniors, including the entire defense that posted a shutout — central defenders Errazuriz and Andersson, along with outside backs Maddy Keenan and Amanda Yarger.

GGC goalkeeper Elisa Randel was tested seriously only once, stuffing a Columbia (145-2) volley attempt in the 81st minute. The play of Randel’s defense, along with midfielders Nicole Rodriguez and Joy Mertzig, kept the heat off her much of the evening.

GGC wasted no time seizing control in its first match since winning the Association of

Independent Institutions Tournament championship. Bischof scored in the 10th minute, then almost 14 minutes later a corner from Ana Gonzalez found the head of Errazuriz, who sent a long, looping header toward the upper 90.

Its odd spin saw the ball nick the post, off the goalkeeper and drop in for a 2-0 lead.

Bischof scored her teamleading 12th goal in the 43rd minute off an assist from Rodriguez. Rodriguez played a ball from the right wing into the middle, where the freshman from Switzerland raced onto it for the finish.

“I think for (the seniors), it’s a very good ending season,” Bischof said. “They can go to Orange Beach for the final part of their career. I think we all made it for them. We knew it could be their last game if we didn’t win. We tried as a team to make it.”

Columbia played much better in the final 45 minutes, and the Grizzlies were sloppier, but the outcome was never in doubt thanks to the first-half surge.

“It went really well,” Andersson said. “The first half everybody was excited to come out and play. It was really a relief when it started. We just went out hard. Really throughout the first half, the entire half, when we go from defense to attack, it goes really quick. I think we showed that with the third goal.”

Fields shines, Georgia stomps UMass Field Level Media After three straight conference wins to sew up the SEC East, No. 5 Georgia entered Saturday’s non-conference tilt against UMass hoping for a leisurely, low-pressure afternoon.

The Bulldogs got their wish, rolling up 701 yards of offense and strolling past the Minutemen for a 66-27 victory in Athens, Ga. Freshman quarterback Justin Fields accounted for a large chunk by himself. With Georgia (10-1) up huge early, the former five-star recruit played most of the game and

posted some eye-popping numbers against UMass (4-8).

Not only did Fields complete 5 of 8 passes for 121 yards and two scores, he also rushed seven times for 100 yards a touchdown. It marked just the third time since 1976 that a Georgia QB has rushed for more than 100 yards.

Fields was one of five Bulldogs who scored rushing touchdowns, a group that included Brian Herrien, Elijah Holyfield and freshman James Cook, who tallied his first two collegiate scores while rushing for 76 yards.

Despite the loss, UMass wide receiver Andy Isabella

enjoyed a memorable game. A semifinalist for the Biletnikoff Award signifying the nation’s top receiver, Isabella didn’t hurt his cause against the Bulldogs.

Isabella, who led all of FBS coming into play with 1,479 receiving yards, caught 15 passes for 219 yards and two touchdowns. His first score came on a 75-yard reception off a double pass.

The first half went just as expected with Georgia rolling to a 42-13 lead on 431 yards of offense. The Bulldogs scored touchdowns on all six possessions in the first half.

A 49-yard run by Tyler

Simmons and a 5-yard run by Holyfield gave the Bulldogs a quick 14-0 lead, before a muffed punt set the Minutemen up for a score, a 5-yard run by Marquis Young.

Simmons scored again in the second when he caught a 71-yard touchdown pass from Jake Fromm, who completed 5-of-5 passes for 106 yards to go along with the one score before giving way to Fields.

Fields accounted for three scores in the second quarter, throwing touchdown passes to Riley Ridley (11 yards) and Mecole Hardman (57 yards) and running one in from 3 yards out.

the middle of the ice was picked off. Nathan Perkovich broke in alone on Svoboda and doubled the Everblades’ lead at 5:28.

“Three of the goals we gave up were just based on taking a high-risk, low-reward play,” Pyle said. “We’ve been talking about it all year. All year. Those teams — them, South Carolina, Norfolk — are going to kill you when you do that.

“If you open up with a thin team, you hang your goalie out to dry and Miro doesn’t deserve that.”

Svoboda, a Nashville prospect, held firm for the rest of the period but was beaten by the first shot of the second.

Defenseman Derek Sheppard pushed the lead to 3-0 on a slapshot 18 seconds in.

“It’s just the blatant, individual, selfish mistakes that kill you and kill your momentum,” Pyle said.

Nolan LaPorte’s goal at 15:04 of the second period breathed some life into the

Gladiators and the arena. Garret Ross sparked the shutoutspoiling goal with a tenacious forecheck. A hard hit behind Florida’s net created a turnover and Ross snapped the puck to LaPorte at the post. LaPorte scored his second goal in as many games and that line continued to produce.

The teams each banged in a rebound — Florida first at 6:45 of the third, then Atlanta with an answer at 9:54 — to keep the deficit at two. Alex Overhardt scored for the second straight night to get the Gladiators within 4-2.

The Everblades pressed their advantage again at 11:54 to gain a 5-2 lead when Svoboda was pulled out of the crease, but Atlanta responded again.

On the power play, Justin MacDonald smashed in a shot from the post to make it 5-3 with 5:56 left in regulation.

“I told the team I thought we took a step back,” Falcons coach Dan Quinn said. “That’s tough to see and tough to say. I also told them that we have to regroup.”

Atlanta has beaten the Cowboys in their last three meetings, but the Falcons didn’t have to deal with Elliott, who was serving a suspension, in last year’s 27-7 victory that featured eight sacks of quarterback Dak Prescott.

Elliott rushed for 151 yards last week against the Eagles and the Falcons’ tackling issues

were exposed again against the Browns, as rookie Nick Chubb gashed them for 176 yards on the ground.

Pro Bowl middle linebacker Deion Jones is eligible to return for the Falcons after spending eight weeks on IR with a broken foot, but he has been ruled out after being deemed close but not quite ready.

“We will put him out there when he’s 100 percent,” Quinn said.

For Dallas, starting guards Zack Martin and Connor Williams are questionable with knee injuries, while defensive end Taco Charlton is out.

PREP FOOTBALL ROUNDUP

Buford, Brown make a statement with 44-11 rout From Staff Reports BUFORD — As it has been so many times this season, it was Derrian Brown’s night for Buford.

The senior running back finished Buford’s 44-11 win over Kell in the second round of the Class AAAAA state playoffs with 81 rushing yards and three total touchdowns on just 14 carries Friday night at Tom Riden Stadium, earning another trip to the quarterfinals and home game against Bainbridge.

The most threatening situation of the night for Buford (10-2) came off of the opening kickoff, a pooch kick from Kell (9-3) that took a crazy hop and set the Longhorns up inside the Buford red zone for the game’s first possession.

Kell quarterback Evan Conley finished the game with three interceptions, but none proved to be more costly than the one he threw on that first possession, when he underthrew a pass to the corner of the end zone, and Buford’s Jamarius Isaac intercepted it.

Dominating defense was another theme for the Wolves, who finished with seven sacks totaling 46 lost yards for Kell, and killed drives all night, including one on fourth and goal that stopped the Longorns from getting a touchdown that would nullify a running clock late in the third quarter.

Dacula 28, Allatoona 21 DACULA — Fumbling and losing the football game’s initial snap was a nightmare. Losing another fumble that resulted in an Allatoona touchdown was rough, too.

Those plays didn’t derail Dacula’s big first half, though.

The ninth-ranked Falcons still rolled up a three-score halftime lead — much needed because of fourth-quarter trouble — and earned revenge that was a year in the making with an 28-21 victory Friday over 10th-ranked Allatoona in the second round of the Class AAAAAAA state playoffs. For the first time since 2013, Dacula (10-2) advances to the quarterfinals, where it will host Valdosta next Friday at Barron Stadium.

Allatoona (8-4) eliminated Dacula from last year’s state playoffs 14-13 with the help of a missed extra point in the closing minutes, making the second-round victory even sweeter.

Despite a 20-0 lead after the first quarter, it wasn’t easy because the Buccaneers scored a pair of fourth-quarter TDs to make things interesting.

Chris Smith had the last of Dacula’s three firstquarter TDs on a 30-yard fumble return. He also had a pair of sacks and caused a fumble in the first two

points in the first 6:31 of the second half to take a 27-21 lead in the third quarter.

But at the end of the day, Prince Avenue and star quarterback Brock Vandagriff proved to have a little too much for the Wolves.

Vandagriff had 27 carries for 158 yards and five touchdowns to go along with 157 passing yards, as he led Prince Avenue to a 42-27 win over Wesleyan in the second round of the Class A-Private state playoffs.

Prince Avenue took a 21-10 lead into halftime and looked on the verge of pulling away after Vandagriff scored a touchdown with 1:15 left in the second quarter to send the Wolverines into the locker rooms with some momentum.

T

he Gwinnett Football League — the youth system that funnels talent into the county’s successful high school programs — held its season-ending championships last weekend at Peachtree Ridge High School.

More than 200 youth football and cheerleading teams competed in the

GFL this season, playing more than 1,000 regular-season games before the playoffs began.

The big winners were Duluth and Mill Creek, whose youth organizations won two age group titles each.

Buford, Grayson and Peachtree Ridge also produced one county championship team each.

A Navy veteran from Buford recently won a dream prize of sorts in a nationwide competition from a travel agent company.

Christo Robinson did not win a glamorous trip to some exotic locale though.

Instead, he won a free franchise worth $12,700 from the company, which is named Dream Vacations.

He was one of 300 Marines, Army, Navy, Air Force and Coast Guard veterans who applied to win in the chain’s “Operation Vetrepreneur: Become Your Own General” contest.

The veteran’s franchise will be named “Dream Vacations — Robinson Travel Group.”

“My love and passion for travel is one of the main reasons I became interested in having a career in this industry,” Robinson said. “My 23 years of military service and living abroad will afford me the opportunity to instantly connect to my customers from my personal experiences and provide them the best recommendations on travel to their destinations.”

Robinson had to undergo a threepart application process, which included a phone interview, a video essay and the drafting of a business plan for his franchise. Dream Vacations is part of World Travel Holdings, a company that has several travel retail brands which deal with major cruise lines and several tour operators.

“Not only am I excited about seeing the world and sharing my own travel experiences with my clients, but I am ecstatic about helping other people achieve their dream vacations,” Robinson said.

Robinson’s new franchise can be found online at www.dreamvacations.com/CRRobinson and by phone at 470-326-5115.

Tickets for the brunch and the show are $35 and can be purchased online at lionhearttheatre.org/buytickets-2.

Lionheart Theatre provides the community with a place to perform in local productions.

GA-PCOM doctoral students receive white coats From Staff Reports

The Georgia Campus of Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine presented white coats to more than 200 students recently. (Special Photo)

white coat to a tool belt.

“It held all my pocket references and my stethoscope, but in the theoretical sense, it also held the many tools given to me by professors, mentors, instructors, advisors, attendings and colleagues.”

Some tools he said helped him find success along his path included

taking pride in appearance; being an example for others to follow; treating everyone with respect; discipline; ambition; and staying positive.

“I encourage you all to be relentless in your pursuit of education and to add as many tools to your belts as possible,” Milton said.

Dean and Chief Academic Officer Shawn Spencer said the Pharmacy Class of 2022 congratulate themselves for making the decision to embark on the journey toward a pharmacy degree.

“Pharmacy holds a special place in our society — we are truly the medication experts,” Spencer said. “We are among the most trusted professions. We work both

in hospitals and in the community where we are often the first and the last point of contact in primary care.”

He suggested to the students that their “inclination to wonder about what’s next” will provide the motivation to carry them through the challenges they will face in their pursuit of a degree and beyond.

Noting that there were 1,330 days until gradua-

tion, Pharmacy Class Chair Brent Chatoff, (PharmD ’22) reflected on the road ahead.

“The white coat is symbolic of our abilities to improve the lives of others,” Chatoff said. “It is a symbol of hard work, dedication and professionalism. As a class, we succeed together, we struggle together and we are there for one another.”

Things leaders shouldn’t say: Answering Q’s ‘Work smarter, not harder’ about shrubs, Organizational leaders frequently say dumb things. What they clearly regard as clever, pithy slogans, intended to be inspirational, all too often come across as patronizing, out of touch and insulting.

I’m speaking here not only as someone who has held a variety of leadership positions over the past 30 years, but — more importantly — as someone who has worked for a lot of different leaders.

Some of them were pretty good, others not so much, but all of them said things from time to time that didn’t sit well with me — or with most of my colleagues.

three full-time positions wouldn’t be such a big deal if you people weren’t so stupid.”

Second, it assumes that up to this point, we haven’t been working as hard as we could. How could we, if it’s still possible for us to work harder? In fact, it kind of implies that we’re lazy, because the message is, “Hey, folks, don’t panic.

We’re not asking you to work harder. Just smarter.”

And finally, the WSNH mantra is insulting — not to mention patronizing — because it ignores the real problem.

The problem is NOT that we haven’t been working hard enough. It’s NOT that we aren’t smart enough. The problem is that we’re going to have to continue doing the same job — and perhaps more besides — and we’re expected to get the same results—if not better—despite having less money and fewer staff to work with.

If that’s the case, fine.

We’re big boys and girls.

Just be straight with us.

Tell us up front that we’re going to have to do more with less, and why. You’ll generally find that, if we know the deal, we tend to rise to the occasion.

Just don’t try to sugarcoat it with slick oneliners. And whatever you do, don’t slap us in the face by suggesting that we’re not already working as hard and as smart as we can.

camellias, ants Gardening columnist Tim Daly answers questions from readers: QUESTION: I have several Indian hawthorn shrubs planted around my home. They have lost most of their leaves and have an unsightly appearance. What can be done to prevent the plant from defoliating?

— Chris in Grayson ANSWER: Chris, Indian hawthorns, not to be confused with the hawthorn trees, are landscape shrubs that can grow three to four feet in height and have attractive pink and white flowers. Unfortunately, the plants suffer from a fungal leaf spot disease that causes the plant to decline and perish. The fungus is the same one that attacks red tip photinias. Also, Indian hawthorns are sensitive to frigid temperatures that can occur in our area. They are adapted to USDA hardiness zone 8, and Gwinnett is in zone 7b. Consider replacing the shrubs with ones that are better adapted to our climatic conditions such as compacta, Burford, yaupon and inkberry hollies, and loropetulams.

Q: I have several camellias in my home landscape.

Some bloom in the fall and others in the winter and early spring. Is there a difference between these camellias?

— Dawn in Duluth A: Dawn, yes, two species of camellias are commonly grown in our area: the Japanese camellia and the sasanqua camellia.

The Japanese camellia is most familiar. It blooms in the winter and early spring months. The flowers are three to six inches in diameter are come in many colors: red, white, pink, rose and some varieties that have striped petals. They grow best in the shade to part sun conditions.

Sasanqua camellias bloom in the fall months. Their blossoms are two to three inches wide and come in many colors. The plants

Gardening in Gwinnett

Tim Daly are shorter in height than the Japanese camellias, and they can tolerate full sun.

Q: I have noticed small ants that have been invading my home. I see them in the kitchen and the bathrooms. How can I get rid of these pests?

— Gene in Snellville A: Gene, you most likely have Argentine ants, sometimes referred to as sugar ants. They do not bite or sting. As the weather becomes colder, they frequently seek shelter in houses and other structures. Several steps can be taken to control them.

Keep all food materials in the refrigerators or sealed containers. Check to see if you have any leaks in pipes that may be providing a source of moisture for the ants. Outside your home, seal up and cracks and crevices where they might be entering and make sure your doors and windows are tightly sealed when shut. Remove any piles of leaves, logs, bricks or other materials that are near your foundation that may harbor ant nests. Trim back plant materials away from the foundation 12 inches and keep the mulch away at the same distance. You can use insecticides inside the home. The bests are the bait traps where the ants take the material back to their nests, which will help eliminate the colony.

Millennials need a break CHICAGO — It’s a terrible idea to make too much of the campaign victory of any politician, but an exception is in order now that New York has elected Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to Congress: It’s time to drop the snarky jabs about millennials.

There’s no question that the fact OcasioCortez is 29 is worth celebrating. Young people are woefully underrepresented in governing roles, and their exuberance, fresh ideas and open minds could help them connect with a more diverse demographic.

Yet in a society that is obsessed with being youthful and on the cutting edge, we sure look down our noses at even the most accomplished young person if he or she has the temerEsther ity to like avocados, toast or — insert Cepeda patronizing tone here — avocado toast.

Just set the food preferences aside and note that the disparagement that Ocasio-Cortez’s detractors heap upon her centers mostly on her democratic socialist political beliefs but also leans heavily on her age.

Adjectives like “spoiled,” “entitled,” and “vacuous” are appended to “millennial” and deployed to heighten the fiction that, if you’re to believe the criticism on newspaper-website comment sections, Ocasio-Cortez is so postinternet ignorant that she believes money falls from the sky and that everyone should get everything for free.

Let’s be clear: The woman graduated from Boston University with degrees in international relations and economics. I’m pretty sure she knows more about where money comes from than 98 percent of the adult U.S. population.

A less charitable reading would be that Ocasio-Cortez’s membership in a generation that is frequently mocked was a gift to those who want to root against a woman trying to gain political power but don’t want to appear openly misogynist.

Surely there’s some of that. But, most likely, some older people openly despise millennials because they are free-spirited and possessed of the idealism and naivete that every young person deserves to indulge in before the realities of a life’s difficulties grind away a little bit of the optimism.

Sadly, as it has been noted time and again, millennials don’t have it as easy as everyone assumes. They aren’t all trust-fund recipients who took gap years in Europe on their parent’s dime. And when they fail to live up to those easy stereotypes, they’re mocked for not being as wildly rich and successful as they’re made out to be.

Case in point, there was a media uproar when it came out that Ocasio-Cortez can’t afford to put down a deposit, and first and last month’s rent, in the nation’s capital, one of the most expensive cities in the country (one-bedroom apartments average about $2,200), plus pay moving and living expenses before getting the first paycheck from her new job.

Neither could most of America, never mind a young person who has been open about having student loans she’s still paying. Someone who, until recently, was working as a server in a bar.

At least in this instance, level heads, even from opposing camps, came to Ocasio-Cortez’s defense.

“It’s perfectly appropriate to criticize the kinds of anti-market policy prescriptions a socialist like Ocasio-Cortez is likely to recommend. But let’s not beat up on her for failing to have as much access to wealth as the average member of Congress,” wrote Robby Soave, an associate editor at Reason.com. “This problem should inspire sympathy, not scorn.”

Sure, we can have sympathy and even chalk up Ocasio-Cortez’s “first-world problem” to folksiness or “relatability.”

Better yet: Cut out the millennial condescension.

By most measures the youngest millennials are 22 and the oldest are 41. It’s a range so incredibly wide, a populace so diverse and heterogenous across geography, race, ethnicity and socio-economic class, that lumping them all into one category of detached, internetobsessed narcissists is every bit as offensive as the religious, racial and gender-based stereotypes we all know are both in poor taste and off-limits in polite company.

Young people are America’s present and future. If we don’t like them, we should point the finger of blame toward ourselves — and who bought all those pre-teens their internetenabled smartphones and laptops for their bedrooms and didn’t set limits? — instead of piling on.

Just be nice! Remember, we need those idealistic young people to pay into Social Security and take care of us in the not-too-distant future.

Autistic teenager reminds us that kindness is for everyone Just when you think there is no place left in this politically toxic, mudslinging, in-your-face world for any goodness, along comes Jordyn Moore, a 17-yearold from Forsyth County, to happily prove us wrong.

Jordyn is autistic and struggles with the skills that most of us take for granted, but with the help of supportive parents, a good friend named Sarah Chirchirillo and an occupational therapist, she is running her own business by folding, packaging and shipping T-shirts that say “Be Kind to Everyone.”

The project was the idea of her parents, Ben and Jackie Moore, and was intended as a way to prepare Jordyn to successfully enter the workforce upon her graduation from school. No big deal, just a few weeks in the summer.

So, how did this all come about? Jackie Moore said, “My husband and I were out on a ‘date night’ and were talking about Jordyn and her future.

We decided that we needed to change our focus from worrying about her to doing something positive.” From that came the idea of a T-shirt. And not just any T-shirt, but one emblazoned with “Be Kind to Everyone.”

Jackie Moore said her philosophy is we can be anything we want to be, so why not be kind?

Why not, indeed? She went to the internet to see if someone was using that term. No, they weren’t. She checked to see if it would be available as an internet address. Yes, it was. Are you beginning to see a trend here? Like good things can actually happen to really good people.

She said, “When we started out, we were just trying to give Jordyn some experience folding and packing the shirts. We were

Dick Yarbrough hoping we might sell 40 or so T-shirts to family members.”

That was 8,500 T-shirts ago, shipped to all 50 states. So much for that summer project. But it gets even better. Jordyn has become a celebrity at Lambert High School. Students and teachers are wearing “Be Kind to Everyone” shirts and folks are asking to have their picture made with her and talking to her about the project. “It has truly changed her life,” said Jackie Moore of her daughter.

As for Jackie Moore, she is beginning to be asked to appear before school groups in other states to talk about kindness being a potential antidote to bullying.

People who have purchased “Be Kind to Everyone” shirts tell her they find themselves being — well — kinder and discover that people are nicer to them in return. That applies not only on these shores but to folks who have worn them overseas.

“It’s hard to be a jerk when you are being kind,” she says. Now, that will preach.

Growing up in the South, I was raised to be kind. Remember the Golden Rule. Love your neighbor. Respect your elders.

Don’t interrupt people while they are talking. I was taught to say, “Yes, ma’am” and “Yes, sir” and “Thank you” and for the most part, I still do. There is al-

more online To find out more about the shirts, or to order one, go to bekindtoeveryone.com.

ways the chance that Daddy is watching from heaven.

But I’m not as nice as I used to be. I suffer fools poorly. I am impatient and I occasionally say or write something I probably would have been better off to have let pass. Clearly, I am a candidate for one of Jordyn’s T-shirts. But then, so is the president of the United States, members of Congress, the pathetic souls who produce anonymous rants on social media, my colleagues in the media and all the mean-spirited special interest groups spouting hate. Kindness is in short supply these days.

That is where Jordyn Moore comes in. What started out as a small effort to teach an autistic child some basic skills for the future has grown into something far beyond what the Moore fam-

ily ever imagined. Where is the project headed?”

We have no idea,” Jackie Moore said. “I just know our family spends every evening after dinner in the basement helping Jordyn fulfill the orders we have received.” And Jordyn seems to have found full-time work running a business that can make a difference in her life and in ours.

You can purchase your very own “Be Kind to Everyone” shirt at www.bekindtoeveryone. com and you can follow this remarkable story on her Facebook page.

Thank you, Jordyn Moore, and family for reminding us that we have a better side than what we sometimes show. It is hard to be a jerk when you are being kind.

Rainy day idyll interrupted I was looking forward to a cold, wet, rainy Monday.

Strange, isn’t it? Most people don’t like Mondays even if they are sunny and warm. But I look forward to Mondays. It means that whatever has happened the previous week, I get a redo. I get to start over and try to do better.

If my buddy Mark Hope beat me by six strokes last week, I can pick a shorter course with narrower fairways and deeper woods this week and have a chance at revenge.

The Oaks near Porterdale usually does the trick. I can get a head start on putting off all those things I put off last week.

And besides, the crossword puzzle is easy on Monday. I can almost always get most of it without cheating.

And sometimes a rainy, cold day can be fun, if you don’t have to be out in it. I realize that Karen Carpenter once sang that rainy days and Mondays always got her down, but she had a lot of other issues, too.

Let’s face it. I’m more like Eddie Rabbit, who sang, “I love a rainy night.” So do I, and a rainy day, too — occasionally.

In fact, a lot of artists have waxed poetically through music about water falling from the sky, and I listened to several of them Monday. Since we are

songs and she went to town.

I heard “listen to the rhythm of the falling rain, telling me what fool I’ve been …” I didn’t catch the artist, but I remember the song from high school. I heard “Kentucky Rain,” by Elvis — everybody knows Elvis — and “Have You Ever Seen Darrell Huckaby the Rain,” by Rod Stewart. right here in the Peach State, She pulled up “Blue Eyes I listened to “Rainy Night in Cryin’ in the Rain,” by Willie, Georgia.” I heard a special cut no last name needed, and “I with Conway Twitty, joined by Wish it Would Rain,” by The original artist Brooks Benton.

Temptations. The Temptations If you don’t feel a little melwould have been happy as a ancholy listening to Conway bunch of larks if they had been Twitty and Brooks Benton in the North Georgia Piedmont singing together, you need a on Monday. The music went whimsy infusion. on and on and on. It seemed I also listened to the not-so- a little cruel when she played melancholy “Raindrops Keep “It Never Rains in Southern Falling on My Head,” which California,” because all of the made me want to watch “Butch state could use some rain right Cassidy and the Sundance now. I guess Alexa knew that, Kid” and wish I could ride because she did play “I Wish it around on my bicycle in the Would Rain,” perhaps just for rain with Katherine Ross on the people in Paradise. the handlebars. I tried to get She also hit me with “I’m no my lovely Lisa to fill in, but Stranger to the Rain,” (Keith she told me to go downstairs Whitley, God rest his soul) and clean up the basement. and “Smokey Mountain Rain” If they ever perfect that (Ronnie Milsap). I was on my whimsy transplant, I’m signing second cup of hot chocolate her up for the first one. and really enjoying my warm I really got into my rainy day fire, being in my pajamas late songs as I built a big fire and into the morning and listensat by it, sipping hot chocolate. ing to all the rain songs, not All I had to do was tell my to mention the pitter-patter companion Alexa to play rain of the raindrops on the roof.

I had visions of curling up on the couch, under a blanket, spending the day reading the John Grisham book I had just bought for 25 percent off at the grocery store the day before.

Gordon Lightfoot was singing “Early Morning Rain,” and I was at peace with the world.

Unfortunately, Lisa was not.

She came into the room, told Alexa to shut up, asked me if I intended to just sit around in my pajamas all day, reminded me how many calories were in a cup of hot chocolate, took my cup from me and poured mine down the sink, and told me to go downstairs to the basement — for the second time that morning — this time to walk on the treadmill.

My rainy day went downhill from there. I decided to glance at Steve Middlebrooks’s devotional reading for the day. It was from the book of Proverbs, Chapter 25, verse 24. You can look it up for yourself, but God inspired Solomon to write it, so here I am — outside — on the corner of our roof.

And man, is it cold. And I am wondering, along with Credence Clearwater Revival, “Who’ll Stop the Rain?”

bestbets SUNDAY 8 p.m. on FOOD Macy’s Thanksgiving Cake Spectacular Cake masters Buddy Valastro and Yolanda Gampp serve as judges as lifestyle diva Martha Stewart welcomes four exceptional cake artists to this Thanksgiving special, where they vie to craft ingenious cake tributes to the beloved Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, with its cavalcade of balloons and floats. Viewers can look forward to seeing edible creations of such iconic Turkey Day favorites as

Aviator Snoopy, Tom Turkey, the Grinch and Santa’s Sleigh.

The most successful cake artist takes home a $25,000 prize.

MONDAY 8 p.m. on FOX The Resident Conrad (Matt Czuchry) confronts Bell (Bruce Greenwood) after the latter recommends one of Julian’s (Jenna Dewan) pricey yet risky medical devices to a woman (guest star Daniella Alonso) who recently lost one child and is back now with another in the new episode “Heart in a Box.” Elsewhere, Devon (Manish Dayal) finds himself going through a very difficult day, while Mina and Austin (Shaunette Renee Wilson, Malcolm-Jamal Warner) become closer while working on a challenging heart transplant. Melina Kanakaredes also guest stars.

TUESDAY Martha Stewart

9 p.m. on PBS Frontline Americans increasingly have become divided by “tribal”

Anupam Kher politics in recent years, but many are increasingly concerned about alarming rhetoric from some quarters that has emboldened white supremacists, racists and other hate groups. The new episode “Documenting Hate: New American Nazis” is a chilling look at a neo-Nazi group that successfully has been recruiting from among the U.S. military, gaining strength after the 2017 rally in Charlottesville, Va. An encore telecast of “Documenting Hate: Charlottesville” immediately follows on most affiliates.

10:01 p.m. on NBC New Amsterdam After Max (Ryan Eggold) allows himself to become too invested in a patient’s care, the latter’s treatment plan takes an unexpected turn in the new episode “Three Dots.” Meanwhile, Kapoor (Anupam Kher) wrestles with a case that hits close to home, and Reynolds (Jocko Sims) celebrates his birthday with a little help from the hospital.

Freema Agyeman, Tyler Labine and Janet Montgomery also star.

WEDNESDAY 8 p.m. on FOX Empire Although it’s been two bitter years since they lost control of their Empire to Eddie Barker (guest star Forest Whitaker), Cookie and Lucious (Taraji P. Henson, Terrence Howard) still haven’t finished picking up the pieces in “Steal From the Thief.” A promising new singer and rapper named Treasure (guest star Kaitlyn Simone) may hold the key to reversing the Lyons family fortunes, however.

THURSDAY

SATURDAY

12 p.m. on NBC The National Dog Show

8 p.m. on CBS Robbie the Reindeer in Hooves of Fire First shown in the United States with its original voice cast, this British-produced special was revoiced for American network television.

Thus: Ben Stiller, Hugh Grant, Britney Spears, James Belushi, Brad Garrett, Leah Remini, Jerry Stiller, James Woods, Dan Dierdorf and Dick Enberg are heard in the offkilter, animated story of the quest of Rudolph’s son to take his father’s place on Santa’s sleigh team.

Two new American Kennel Club-sanctioned breeds — the Nederlandse Kooikerhondje (sporting group) and the Grand Basset Griffon Vendeen (hound group) — are included in the competition as John Hurley and AKC-licensed judge David Frei return to cohost this Thanksgiving Day event, which has become a Turkey Day TV mainstay.

FRIDAY 8 p.m. on NBC Dr. Seuss’ How the Grinch Stole Christmas Since its first airing in 1966, this adaptation of the Dr. Seuss children’s book has evolved into an annual holiday viewing tradition. Legendary animator Chuck Jones directed the story about a green-skinned grouch who sets out to spoil Christmas for the citizens of Whoville. Boris Karloff provides narration, with additional voices by Thurl Ravenscroft and June Foray.

It’s time to say ‘no’ to participation trophies You didn’t win, but here’s a trophy for trying.

Go you!

Participation trophies are emblems of millennial entitlement, a well-intended effort to make kids feel special, even when they lost.

It’s time to call it a day on this ruse. Kids know when they lose.

If you want to create a confident kid, it’s more appropriate and effective to teach them how to congratulate the winner than it is for you to act like everyone’s performance was the same.

The best parenting advice I ever got was this: In an ideal world a child is raised to believe they are incredibly special AND they are no more special than anyone else.

Giving out participation trophies, or insisting your kid get an A when they deserve a C — or any other attempt to make them never experience hardship does not increase their confidence — it erodes it. Pretending they won when they lost does not make them feel special, and denies the true winner their due.

I got a powerful lesson in losing in junior high. I was a diver on the swimming and diving team.

At one meet, my friend unexpectedly beat the state champion diver. The champion had an off day and my friend dove the best meet of her life.

Here’s what I remember most: The state champ walked over to my

Jacks Creek

Forget Perfect

Lisa McLeod friend, shook her hand, and in front of everyone said, “Congratulations, you won. Great meet.”

This 15-year-old girl had the presence of mind to walk up to another girl, while wearing a bathing suit in front of the entire swimming and diving team, shake her hand, and congratulate her.

Wow! I know adults who can’t muster that kind of gravitas.

Unpack this from both sides. I bet the loss stung pretty badly for the champion. But how much confidence does she now have about her ability to handle setbacks? She knows it’s not fatal.

And how do you think the winner feels? She just performed three levels above her normal skill level and she’s been congratulated in front of the entire team? She knows, when it’s pressure time, she can do it.

No child should ever feel ridiculed or belittled or shamed. But there’s a big difference between belittling someone and acknowledging the truth, today someone else was better. Not a better human, just better at this.

We’re not all good at sports, theater, chess or math. Pretending we are doesn’t make anyone feel special; it just diminishes real accomplishment.

A lot of business leaders complain about over-entitled millennials.

Yet our most successful clients are teaming with high-energy young people who are crushing it at work.

The secret is to find young people with resilience, and if they didn’t learn it in childhood, your role as a leader is to teach it. We helped one of our clients create a resilience workshop, where people learned how many failures it takes to create success. They also learned how a true champion congratulates someone who beat them.

My own kids got plenty of participation trophies, but when they left home, they didn’t take the trophies with them. In fact, they told me to throw them out. For them, the trophies were meaningless trinkets, memories of events that would have been better preserved with team photos.

People aren’t proud of something they didn’t earn. If we want to improve the strength and resilience of the next generation, let’s give them the confidence to lose.

Inspired by the work that came before me Without nary a question, my work life is much easier than that of my parents and grandparents who all worked by the sweat of their brows and the callouses of their hands.

I work by the click of my fingers with the thoughts that flicker both frivolously and seriously through my mind.

Sometime last summer, I was struggling mightily with the weeds in a flower garden. They had grown deep and wide and proved quite stubborn in being removed. The sun was unbearably hot. I was determined not to suffer defeat so I fought them for hours until, at last, I was triumphant. After several hours, my back and hands ached and the sun had been my bitter adversary.

I sat down on a stone wall nearby and thought of my granddaddy, Ance Miller.

Except for Sundays, he always wore overalls and smelled slightly of the snuff he loved to tuck in his lower lip. He had a farmers’ slump, something that has all but disappeared these days but back when he was a young man fighting the unyielding land and hopelessness of the Great Depression, most men had that rounded slump of shoulders. It was brought forth by throwing the leather straps over their shoulders from behind the plow and trying to coax a stubborn mule to take one more step in the blinding sun. That mule and plow molded their upper bodies into a permanent hunch.

I can be undergirded by that reality when I’m driven to my wit’s end by my craft. I’m a disciplined writer, two words that don’t often go together.

I’m disciplined because I’m not abundantly talented. There are folks out Ronda there with more creative Rich talent in one little finger than I have in my entire body. But many of those I sipped water and reflected on how his easiest people just “think” about writing. They fantasize day had probably been much harder than my day about the words they’ll one day put down on of battling the sun and paper. the weeds.
