Gwinnett County police discovered what they believe may be a homicide after being called to the Villas Del Camino Apartments for a medical problem in Norcross on Friday night.

According to police spokesman J. D. Albright, officers from the Westside precinct were called to the apartment complex, located at 1355 Graves Road, at 6:30 p.m. Friday for an “unknown medical problem.”

When they arrived at the scene, officers discovered a Hispanic man, later identified as Geremias Barrios Diaz, 52, whom Albright said had signs of blunt force trauma. Albright said late Saturday, however, that investigators have not yet determined what caused Diaz’s death.

Police said Diaz’s body was found in the kitchen of his apartment by one of his roommates, who called police.

Due to observations made at the scene by the responding officers, the Gwinnett County homicide unit and the crime scene unit were called in, Albright said.

“The roommate reported to police that a third roommate, Heraclios Solis-Ortiz, 56, may have been having an ongoing dispute with the victim,” Albright said Saturday. “At the time police arrived, all of Solis-Ortiz’s belongings had already been removed from the residence.”

Police are considering Solis-Ortiz as a person of interest in Diaz’s death, but they have not taken out any warrants for his arrest.

Investigators are looking for SolisOrtiz, who is described as being 5 feet, 7 inches tall with a muscular build, black hair and green eyes. They believe he may be near where the incident occurred, Albright said.

Police are asking anyone with information about the case to contact GCPD detectives at 770-513-5300. To remain anonymous, tipsters should contact Crime Stoppers at 404-577-TIPS (8477) or visit www.crimestoppersatlanta.org. Crime Stoppers tipsters can receive up to $2,000 for information leading to an arrest and indictment in this case. The case number is 18-108860.

Shoppers hit malls, search for Black Friday deals

By IsaBel HugHes

isabel.hughes @gwinnettdailypost.com

Setting down their bags, Jennifer Yoo and Drew Coleman glanced at their phones, eyes widening.

“Oh my god, we’ve been here six hours,” Coleman said. “We got here at 6 a.m., so we’ve seen the crowds get bigger. We didn’t want to stand in line so that’s why we came so early.”

The girls, who were part of a larger friend group, were two of thousands of people who braved the Mall of Georgia on Black Friday, the busiest shopping day of the year.

According to this year’s National Retail Federation survey — the organization offers an annual estimate of the number of Thanksgiving weekend shoppers — 164 million people were planning to go shopping Thanksgiving Day through Cyber Monday, 116 million of whom planned to shop on Friday.

While those numbers, of course, are for the nation as a whole, Teresa Holloway, director of marketing and business development for the Mall of Georgia, said shoppers have been busy.

• Change the package’s address while it’s in transit. Customers who know they won’t be home when their package is delivered can try USPS Package Intercept. Prior to delivery, most domestic package shipments can be redirected back to the sender, to a new address or to the post office to be held for pickup.

• Plan ahead and ship using “Hold for Pickup.”

customers can choose the Hold for Pickup option and the recipients can collect the packages at their local post office.

• If no one is home to pick up a package, consider an alternate shipping address. Customers can arrange to have packages delivered to neighbors who are home during the day or get packages delivered at work, if permitted. Packages left unattended by the front door are inviting to criminals.

• Secure the shipment using USPS Signature Services. Signature Services help ensure the package ends up in the right hands by requiring a signature at the time of delivery.

• Choose the most secure form of delivery.

For the most valuable packages, customers can opt for Registered Mail service. Registered Mail receives special handling from the time it’s mailed until it’s delivered, documenting the chain of custody.

• take advantage of in-store pickup. While some stores offer free home-delivery for out-ofstock items, around the holidays, it can be more prudent to take advantage of in-store pickup, to avoid the hassle of worrying about package delivery.

A gas station could be coming to a section of Sugarloaf Parkway that is currently home to residential communities, office buildings and Gwinnett Technical College — if developers can convince county officials to let it happen.

A 6,000-square-foot convenience store with a restaurant and 16 gas pumps is being proposed for the intersection of Sugarloaf and Atkinson Road. That puts it roughly almost halfway between Duluth Highway and Ga. Highway 316.

The Gwinnett County Planning Commission will hear the proposal for the gas station at its Dec. 4 meeting.

“With property being surrounded by populated area, it has a great need for a gas station and other retail services,” the applicant, Mohamad Samnani, wrote in a letter to county officials. “There are many gas station (stet) on the north bound side of the Sugarloaf Parkway with none being on the south bound of the Sugarloaf Parkway.”

The developer looking to build the convenience store is asking for a zoning change from a single-family residential district to a general business district, and a buffer reduction, but county officials have so far been

unswayed by the proposal. The county’s Planning and Development staff have recommended denial of the proposal.

Ultimately, the Planning Commission must make its own recommendation. However, the Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners will have the final say in the matter.

A floor plan for the convenience store shows the restaurant would have a hostess stand, indoor and outdoor seating and a VIP area, and it would employ two fulltime employees and four part-time employees.

The convenience store itself would have three full-time employees and two part-time employees.

County staff raised

multiple issues in their report on the proposed convenience store. One issue is that the developer is asking that a 75-foot buffer requirement be waived on the south side of the property, which backs up to a single-family residential zoning area.

The Glynwater and Willow Pointe subdivisions are located south of the site, according to the staff report.

County documents show that if the buffer reduction request is approved, there would be no buffer between the convenience stores and those subdivisions at all.

Another issue is that there are specimen trees on the property that must be preserved under the

county’s Unified Development Ordinance.

County staff said that means alternate designs for the convenience store would have to be looked at.

“The requested C-2 zoning to develop a convenience store with fuel pumps, a restaurant and other retail uses, may not be considered an appropriate transitional development and may result in negative impacts on surrounding and adjacent residential properties,” county staff wrote in their report.

“In addition, this request may not be compatible with the existing adjoining single-family residences or consistent with the policies of the 2030 Unified Plan.”

CDC: South center of new HIV cases By andy miller

Georgia Health News

The HIV epidemic remains centered in the South, health officials say. And the region must overcome several factors before this disease burden will ease, they add.

More than half of the new HIV diagnoses in 2016 — about 20,000 — were in the South, a CDC official told an Atlanta conference last week.

Of those Southern cases, two-thirds were from male-to-male sexual contact, Dr. Eugene McCray, director of the CDC Division of HIV/ AIDS Prevention, said at a Center For AIDS Research symposium at Emory University. One in five new diagnoses was among women.

It’s not just urban areas that are affected, McCray said. Of the new HIV infections in the South, 23 percent came

in suburban and rural areas. And the region has the highest death rate from HIV infection.

AIDS is the full-scale disease that can develop from HIV. “We in the South have these horrific numbers,’’ said Dr. David Malebranche of Morehouse School of Medicine.

“The HIV epidemic is squarely based in the South.’’

Georgia currently has more than 58,000 people living with HIV, trailing only Florida and Texas in the South, the CDC statistics showed.

McCray said income inequality, discrimination and poorer health outcomes are more widespread in the region. The CDC has increased funding for HIV prevention in the South, he said.

(pre-exposure prophylaxis) lags behind the U.S. average. People at high risk of getting HIV can take the drug daily to lower their chances of being infected.

Larry Lehman, CEO of Positive Impact Health Centers, which provide services to HIV patients, said in response to the CDC figures that the majority of new infections continue to be in young males. The messaging involving condoms and safe sex is not effective, Lehman said, adding that the CDC report “speaks to the greater need for PrEP.’’ Dr. Wendy Armstrong of Emory, medical director of the Infectious Disease Program at Grady Health System, sees the demand for services increasing — and funding remaining flat — at HIV prevalence rates Grady’s Ponce de Leon in Georgia Center, which provides Other factors leading treatment for HIV pato high HIV numbers in tients.

fordable Care Act. But Georgia, like several other Southern states, has declined to expand the program, citing the costs associated with the move.

Armstrong, who also spoke at the symposium, points to a Kaiser Family Foundation report that found that increased Medicaid coverage in expansion states drove a nationwide increase in coverage for people with HIV. With Medicaid expansion in Georgia, “we could stretch our dollars,’’ Armstrong said.

She said another common obstacle for infected people, especially in rural areas, is a lack of transportation, making it hard for them to arrange regular medical appointments.

“You need community outreach to test and link people to care,’’ she said.

Many medical providers are unaware of PrEP or are uncomfortable prescribing it, Armstrong said. And a large shortage of HIV-trained medical personnel appears to be on the horizon.

“We have to have the political will and leaders step up and tackle this,’’ she said. “The judgment and stigma have to go out of this. It’s going to be a tough nut to crack.’’

Insurer’s effect on scheduling office visit Dear Dr. roaCH: In a recent column, a person wrote that it took weeks to schedule an appointment with her primary care physician. I have found that it takes months, not weeks, to schedule an appointment with primary care physicians in my area (a large city with two medical schools). I am on Medicare, as are many of my friends. They have said that they have the same problem. Do some medical practices limit the number of appointments available for people on Medicare? My younger friends with regular insurance don’t seem to have this problem.

— L.S. ansWer: A 2015 study of primary care physicians found that 93 percent accept Medicare, while 94 percent accept private insurance.

In a 2018 study, 13 percent of Medicare recipients said there was a small problem finding a new primary care physician, and 14 percent said there was a big one. I suspect there are strong regional differences; however, those with private insurance reported slightly worse results on trying to find a new doctor.

Older, more-established physicians are less likely to have availability in their practice for new patients, so finding a younger physician is more likely to get you seen more quickly. There is always a trade-off between clinical experience and recent training. Hospitals associated with medical schools are likely to have primary care physicians available who take Medicare much more rapidly than you have found.

Medicare has a useful tool for searching for physicians who accept Medicare.

You can go to https://www. medicare.gov/physiciancompare/ and enter the type of physician you want to see. I think you will be surprised at how many primary care physicians are available very close to you. Waiting months for an appointment doesn’t make sense.

Dear Dr. roaCH: I recently read an article on MS. I have a young friend who suffers from it. As the article confirmed, and my young friend can attest to, symptoms receded during pregnancy. My question is: Don’t birth control pills mimic pregnancy because of the hormones used? Have studies been done using hormones to help multiple sclerosis sufferers? Could those hormones possibly help?

— F.R. ansWer: I love the way you think.

You are exactly right that the symptoms of multiple sclerosis often improve during pregnancy, only to rebound once pregnancy is over. Several studies have now shown that estriol, produced by the placenta in pregnancy, reduces the immune reaction to the brain cells, protecting them.

Estriol is relatively safe.

However, even though the studies so far are promising, the best use of estrogens (possibly progestins as well) in MS still isn’t clear.

I found five trials currently ongoing on estriol and multiple sclerosis at www. clinicaltrials.gov.

Dear amy: What do you think about former inlaws continuing to display photos of ex-spouses?

I’m a divorced mother of one child, and my boyfriend of four years is a divorced father of two. We are both in our 40s.

My grandparents kept a photo of me, my exhusband and our child in their living room after we divorced. While my ex and I get along well, I felt the photo was a little disrespectful to my boyfriend and uncomfortable for me, so I asked Grandma to take it down, and she did.

My boyfriend has been divorced for five years, after his wife left him. It was a very toxic situation and continues to be so.

His mother continues to keep dozens of photos of his ex all over her house — some with the ex-wife by herself, and some with my boyfriend when they were married.

The one and only time I spent the night at his mom’s house over a holiday, my boyfriend told me that he was embarrassed and sorry for all the pictures. We slept in the spare room under a giant photo of him and his ex, holding hands and running across the finish line of a race.

My boyfriend was quite embarrassed. His mom has absolutely no relationship with the ex. I assumed he would speak to his mother, but he hasn’t.

committed a crime? Have you harmed others? If so, then your silence about these things would feel like a betrayal to him.

Depending on where you fall on the “horrible” spectrum, you weren’t necessarily lying to your boyfriend by not disclosing details about your past — you were waiting judiciously to tell your story to someone you could trust with this deep and intimate knowledge.

Your boyfriend may not be equipped to love you through this. But no one who loves you and who learns the truth about your life should then punish you for it.

Dear amy: You advised “Cheated Upon” to notify the wife of a cheating husband about the affair. I completely disagree.

Colorful poinsettias brighten the holiday season Many colorful ornamental plants are used for decorations during the holidays. One of the most popular and well known is the poinsettias. They bring warmth and beauty to our homes, offices, houses of worship and other places. If given the appropriate care, poinsettias will prosper throughout the season.

Poinsettias are native to Mexico, and they are closely related to the milkweed plants. The plant is named after Joel Poinsett, the first U.S. ambassador to Mexico, who introduced the poinsettia to the United States in the early 1800s.

Poinsettias have brightly colored bracts, which are actually modified leaves that are red, white, pink or cream colors. The actual flowers of the poinsettia are the small yellow blooms in the center of the colorful bracts. They are classified as short day

Gardening in Gwinnett

Tim Daly plants, along with Christmas cacti and chrysanthemums, meaning the decreasing daylight hours of fall initiate flowering.

Purchase plants that have fully mature, thoroughly colored bracts with an abundance of dark, rich green foliage all the way down the stem. Avoid those with excessive amounts of green around the edges of the bracts, which is a sign the plants were shipped before they were fully matured. They should have a balanced,

full and attractive appearance from all sides. The plants need to have stiff stems, good bract and leaf retention, and show no signs of wilting, breaking or drooping. The plants in the store should be healthy and not suffering from lack of water or any pest infestation.

The poinsettias need to be placed in a location receiving at least six hours of bright light every day. Avoid direct sunlight since it can cause the color of the bracts to fade. Never allow any part of the plant to touch cold window panes, which could injure them.

Also, keep the plants out of areas that are in a cold draft, exposed to excessive heat, are near an appliance, fireplace or ventilating duct.

To keep the bracts from fading, the daytime temperature should not be more than 70 degrees, and the plants need to be kept

away from drafts, excessive heat or dry air from appliances, fireplaces or ventilating ducts. Temperatures that drop below 50 degrees can cause chilling injuries leading to premature leaf drop. Poinsettias require moderately moist soil. Water the pots thoroughly when the soil feels dry to the touch. Apply enough supplemental water to where it drains from the bottom of the pot.

Avoid fertilization when the plant is in bloom.

Poinsettias are occasionally troubled by insect pests, especially whiteflies and mealybugs. You can control these pests by the application of insecticidal soaps or in some cases just remove them by washing the infested plant parts.

In the spring, after the colorful bracts have faded, prune the plant back to about 8 inches in height. The plant will look bare after pruning;

however, new leaves will emerge up and down the stem from the nodes.

Keep the plant near a sunny window and continue to water it regularly.

In central and southern Florida, poinsettias can be grown outdoors year round; however, that is not possible in our area due to the cold winters.

Once the risk of freezes have passed, the plants can be moved outdoors in pots. Fertilize the plant once a month during the spring, summer and fall with 10-10-10 fertilizer.

With proper water and fertilizers, they can grow as high as 5 feet. Bring them back indoors with the onset of cooler temperatures in the fall.

Poinsettias can be made to flower the following Christmas, although this is somewhat difficult for the homeowner. Being short day plants, they require a long continuous dark

period each night for the colorful bracts to form. Beginning around the first of October, the plants require 14 hours of darkness every night.

This can be accomplished by putting them in a closet or covering them with a box or other material. They also need receive six to eight hours of bright sunlight daily.

The plants will begin to produce the colorful bracts in November of December, depending on the variety and response time.

Poinsettias make a great holiday decoration.

They will provide color the indoors if given the appropriate care. Consider getting a few for your home.

“It was (Tommy’s) dream, years ago,” Denise said. “He went to Michigan (in the 1970s) with a friend and brought Frasers down and since then, he’d always wanted a tree farm.”

For many years, having a Christmas tree farm seemed like it would remain only a dream, though that changed in the 1990s when Denise’s parents relocated from Buford to Prospect Road in Lawrenceville.

“They bought the (land) and gave me and my brother some acreage and my daughter said (to Tommy), ‘now you can (fulfill) your dream,” Denise said. “The rest is history, and this is our 18th season.”

In the years since the Thompsons sold their first tree, the farm, which now has about 3,500 trees, has become a place of tradition for many, with families coming back year after year to choose and cut their plant.

While there are always first-timers — like the Hills — those people quickly become repeat customers, Denise said.

People come from far and wide, too, with some traveling from North Carolina and even Florida for the experience.

Though the Hills didn’t have to travel quite that far to reach the farm, it

still took some time to get from East Atlanta Village to Lawrenceville. But they said it was worth it.

“I was not even thinking about getting (a tree); we just came out here with (my brother and his family), but now I’m getting one too,” Tanisha said. “We always spend Thanksgiving weekend together so we were just (tagging along). But this is nice and they have a lot of selection; we’ll definitely come back (next year), too.”

Though Thompson’s Tree Farm does have quite a selection of trees, it offers more than just the plants, something that local resident Angela Taylor said keeps her family coming back. “(My children) love cutting down the tree, but they also love feed-

ing the animals,” Taylor said. “It’s just the whole experience that brings us here.”

Those animals include goats, chickens and cows, which are cared for by Denise’s mother and grandchildren.

Though dormant in the winter, there’s also a pick-your-own blueberry farm on the property, which is run by Denise’s brother and sister-in-law, Doug and Jackie Brown, making the Prospect Farm property a family affair.

“They help us a lot,” Denise said. “My brother does the hay rides for us and my mom, at 86 years old, helps us go out and price every tree.”

Between the blueberry farm and the Christmas tree farm, the family sees a lot of repeat custom-

ers, some who have been returning for all 18 years the tree farm has been open.

That, Denise said, is one of her favorite parts.

“Everybody is so nice and everybody is always in a good mood,” she said. “We’ve been so blessed beyond measure.”

Thompson’s Tree Farm offers free cider and hot chocolate in the gift shop and hayrides are available on the weekends.

The couple also sells s’more kits and marshmallows, which can be roasted over the farm’s fire pit.

Santa will be at the farm from 10:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Dec. 1, offering free photos.

Nash said the county made some headway last year, when a 4 percent pay for performance raise and one-time longevity pay raise were put into the 2018 budget. She also said, however, that there are external factors which mean Gwinnett has to remain mindful of compensation issues.

“We’ve got to continue to try to stay competitive with the people that are trying to hire that we are, and the ones that are hire away our good employees,” Nash said. “Public safety, in particular, is one of those areas where there is a lot of pressure on that, but it’s certainly not the only one.

“With unemployment being as low as it is, we have been seeing competition across the board for good employees.”

The county also tried to address a theme of creating county government that is sustainable by ensuring “that we’re managing our assets properly (and) that we’re taking care of them.”

That includes funding capital projects, particularly some water and sewer in the Department of Water Resources.

But addressing public safety issues, as has been the case with Gwinnett’s annual budgets in recent years, will be a big part of 2019 proposal.

A decade ago, the police officer-to-residents ratio was about 1.08 officers for every 1,000 residents, but it dropped during the recession as positions were frozen and the population kept growing. Gwinnett County’s population is now over 920,000, nearly 115,000 more people than were living in the county in 2010, and it is expected to keep growing.

“We’re adding police officers based on population growth and an intention to keep a reasonable ration of officers to population,” Nash said.

Meanwhile, the chairwoman said the Sheriff’s Office has its own needs that must be addressed.

“The sheriff’s office had some substantial requests and while we’re not able to fund all of those this year, we are going to include funding for a portion of them,” Nash said. “It’s not any secret that if you add courtrooms in a new building on GJAC’s campus, then it means there are going to have to be more sheriff’s deputies available to provide courtroom security.

“There’s an increase in the number of civil papers that are going to have to be served, the warrants and such, so that’s going to take additional staffing as well, and the jail population is trending upward so we have

to take a look at the staffing of the jail as well.”

Nash said there are some organizational changes being looked at in Gwinnett County Fire and Emergency Services. The extent of those changes were still being looked at heading into the week of Thanksgiving, so the chairwoman did not want to go into detail about the full extent of what they might be.

One change she did highlight, however, was the creation of a position for someone to oversee the maintenance of the department’s facilities around the county.

“That is one of the things that we agreed with, that it was appropriate to give them additional position to focus on building maintenance,” Nash said.

She also said additional funding will be put into the fire department’s budget for training and “all of the other things that go with running a big fire and EMS operation.”

There will also be the added expense of holding a referendum in March on whether Gwinnett County should join MARTA. Estimates earlier this year pegged the potential cost of the referendum at about $500,000, and the cost will have to be accounted for in the budget proposal.

“I know they were working on updating the numbers on that,” Nash said. “I think the estimate that has been circulated previously of half a million dollars is still good in terms of probably a broad estimate, but we may have a more specific number to go into the budget before the presentation on (Tuesday).

“If you’re looking at it from an order of magnitude perspective, that’s not a bad number to use.”

The budget adoption will literally be the first big decision incoming commissioners Ben Ku and Marlene Fosque have to make when they take office at the beginning of the new year — the vote happens at their first meeting as members of the commission.

That does not mean, however, that they will be going into that vote without having had a chance to talk with county officials about the budget. Nash said she wants to meet individually with Fosque and Ku in December to discuss the proposal with them, something the chairwoman does with sitting commissioners as well.

“We will definitely be schedule time to do lots of orientation, but (also for) the budget discussion — and with existing commissioners as well — to follow up on any questions they may have once the proposed budget is released publicly,” Nash said.

world Paris police make arrests, fire tear gas at fuel protesters

French police made dozens of arrests across France on Saturday amid violent anti-government protests described by one of the protesters as a “civil war,” CNN affiliate BFM reported.

In Paris, police resorted to tear gas and water cannon to try to clear the Champs Elysée.

“The objective was to unite everybody here in Paris. I am disappointed because it wasn’t meant to be like this,” Thierry Paul Valette, one of the organizers of Saturday’s demonstration in Paris, told CNN. He blamed it on a “small section” of “the extreme left and the extreme right” and said it was like a “civil war.”

In total, 35 people were taken into custody.

people British filmmaker Nicolas Roeg dead at age 90

Influential British film director Nicolas Roeg has died at the age of 90, his family have told the U.K.’s Press Association.

Roeg’s most influential work came in the 1970s and 80s, where he directed a number of controversial and startling films — often starring rock stars of the day.

In “Performance” (1970), Roeg cast Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger as a reclusive superstar losing his mind and his identity in a decadent London mansion.

S.C. mayor seeks to use white supremacist monument to teach unity

By Dakin anDone CNN

A South Carolina mayor believes state law prevents him from removing a white supremacist monument honoring a white man killed in an 1876 riot that also left seven black men dead.

His solution? Add to the monument by recognizing the black men who died in the Reconstruction-era clash between a black militia and a white mob.

“It’s an opportunity to look at

Must read something divisive for the community and hopefully make it a positive for the community,” North Augusta Mayor Bob Pettit told CNN. The stone obelisk has stood in a North Augusta park since 1916 and honors Thomas McKie Meriwether, who died in what’s known as the Hamburg Massacre, a clash that broke out as armed white men attempted to take control of a

predominantly black town of the same name, according to a report

by Pettit.

But it makes no mention of the black men who were killed.

Transcribed on the obelisk’s base is a message calling Meriwether a “young hero” who “exemplified the highest ideal of Anglo-Saxon civilization. By his death he assured to the children of his beloved land the supremacy of that ideal.”

That message makes it clear, Pettit said, that the monument

promotes white supremacy.

“I’ve had nobody dispute it to me,” he said. “And we just need to take positive action to remedy that situation, in my opinion.”

The monument’s future was first brought up by local activist Ken Makin following the August 2017 events of Charlottesville, Va., when a woman was killed as a suspected neo-Nazi drove his car into a crowd protesting a white nationalist rally.

Makin’s call for the monument’s removal comes at a time when

many cities and towns across the country are reckoning with the legacy of similar monuments, most of which commemorate the Confederacy. But the Meriwether monument is unique in that it doesn’t memorialize the Civil War or Confederate veterans or generals.

Instead, it marks a bloody moment during Reconstruction. Black militia were established after the Civil War to protect predominately African-American communities such as Hamburg.

Georgia’s prep shows in win over Tech

By DaviD FrieDlanDer david.friedlander @gwinnettdailypost.com

ATHENS — As many standouts as there were in latest edition of Georgia’s annual in-state rivalry game with Georgia Tech on Saturday, Bulldogs coach Kirby Smart began his postgame press conference praising some lesser-known contributors.

“I’d be remiss if I didn’t talk about Mason Wood, Prather Hudson, Steve Van Tiflin, (Willie) Erdman,” Smart said following the fifthranked Bulldogs’ 45-21 rout of the Yellow Jackets before a capacity crowd of 92,746 at Sanford Stadium.

“These are the guys who formed the Georgia Tech scout team for the last, really, year. A lot more guys than that, but those are some of the feature guys. I think if you ask some of our defensive players, they would tell you that practice is brutal. It’s really tough, and those guys make it that way. Those guys See PREP, Page 12A

The Georgia Gwinnett College men’s and women’s soccer teams were bound for warmer, if not fairer climates on Friday when both teams traveled to their respective final sites in the NAIA men’s and women’s soccer tournaments. Both teams are among the 16 remaining in the NAIA men’s and women’s soccer tournaments.

The No. 7-seeded women’s team will play at Orange Beach, Ala., at 2:30 p.m. on Tuesday against No. 10 Lindsey Wilson College (Ky.). The men’s team made its way to Irvine, Calif., for a date with No. 1-seeded William Carey University (Miss.) at 9:30 p.m. on Monday.

The week has been interesting for both teams because the two were preparing for quarterfinals matches at the NAIA tournament together for the first time. The women’s soccer team (17-3) clinched the program’s first NAIA postseason win with a 3-0 at home against Columbia College (Mo.) in the Opening Round on Nov. 17. The women’s team has won its previous seven matches heading into its quarterfinals matchup, looking to build on its school-record 17 wins.

The women’s soccer team played Lindsey Wilson earlier this season and beat the Blue Raiders 2-1 on Oct. 19. The Grizzlies were then the No. 19-ranked team in the NAIA Coaches’ Top-25 poll and upset the No. 10 Raiders on a goal for Lauren Moss in the 76th minute of the match.

Like so much of the year, the Grizzly women’s soccer team benefitted from major contributions from its freshmen.

Victoria Bischof, the Grizzlies’ leading scorer with 12 goals this season, scored with an assist from Joy Mertzig in the final seconds of the first half to tie the match 1-1.

For women’s head soccer coach Mike Giuliano, the Grizzlies’ path is rigorous.

Lindsey Wilson is a blueblood program with four national championships to its credit, including two since 2012. Prior to the 2018 season, Lindsey Wilson had spent 234 of its 272 weeks of existence See NAIA, Page 12A

Archer slips past Tift County 16-10 in OT

By Taylor Denman

taylor.denman @gwinnettdailypost.com

LAWRENCEVILLE — The Archer football team dove into the deep end in terms of the caliber of teams it has matched up against in the Class AAAAAAA talent pool.

Before last week, the Tigers never won a game by fewer than 20 points this season. The middle rounds of the state playoffs have been a different story.

It took a Semaje Banks TD with fewer than two minutes left to beat Parkview at the Big Orange Jungle one week ago.

Banks delivered the finishing blow against Tift County in overtime Friday night, lifting the Tigers to a 16-10 win at Archer HIgh School.

Archer (11-2) advances to play Colquitt County in Moultrie in the semifinals.

“They’re really good up front and they have a great football team, so we knew we were going to struggle,” Archer head coach Andy Dyer said. “At times we got drives going, but we stalled. A couple times it was a dropped ball, or this or that. The chips looked down a couple of times … our kids kept playing

Bainbridge 23, Buford 20 BUFORD — After starting the season at 2-4, few people gave Bainbridge much of a chance of making the football playoffs, much less putting together a deep run in the postseason.

But those detractors have been put to rest as the Bearcats jumped to a 16-0 lead and held on by knocking down a Hail Mary in the closing seconds to stun Buford 23-20 on Friday night in the quarterfinals of the Class AAAAA state playoffs.

The win sets up Bainbridge (8-5) with a date in the semifinals next Friday against Stockbridge, while Buford ended its season at 10-3 and will miss the semis for the first time since 2006.

“Nobody gave us a chance,” Bainbridge head coach Jeff Littleton said. “Except us, we just kept believing. We knew (Buford) was going to come back and we kept preaching to play four quarters and not get too high or too low. Buford has a great football team and that’s why we are so excited to beat them.”

Lowndes 20, Grayson 15 LOGANVILLE — This time, not even Grayson’s stout defense and special teams could save it in a Class AAAAAAA quarterfinal game against Lowndes.

After playing with fire with slow starts negated by secondhalf excellence for the better part of a month, the No. 3 stateranked Rams couldn’t rescue themselves in the second half,

with the visiting Vikings coming away with a 20-15 win Friday night at a drizzly, blustery Grayson Community Stadium.

Grayson (10-3) held Lowndes to just 174 yards of total offense and got 162 yards and two touchdowns on 15 carries from Phil Mafah.

But the Vikings (10-3) got some clutch running of their own from Travis Tisdale who ran for 130 yards on 20 carries, and even more clutch kicking from Ashton Musgrove, who booted two field goals and two extra points despite a steady mist and muddy field conditions.

The Lowndes defense also came up with two key turnovers, that helped seal a date with Milton in a state semifinal game next week in Milton.

Colquitt County 45, North Gwinnett 0 MOULTRIE — Colquitt County running back Ty Leggett scored five touchdowns with nearly 200 total yards, and Jay Ward intercepted two passes in helping his defensive teammates hold North Gwinnett to just more than 200 yards.

In every other way, it was a dominant Friday night for Colquitt County High football.

The No. 1 Packers, now 13-0, demolished the defending Class AAAAAAA champion Bulldogs 45-0 Friday on Tom White Field at Mack Tharpe Stadium and advanced to a home semifinal next Friday against Archer.

North had trouble trying to stop Leggett and Colquitt quarterback Jaycee Harden, and struggled to get anything past lineman Brian Merritt and the Packer triad of linebackers besides 77 rushing yards.

DACULA — Rich Rivers, B.J. Knight and Kameron Oyola each scored 19 points as Peachtree Ridge outlasted Dacula in a 90-83 shootout in a nonregion boys basketball game Saturday at Dacula.

Mayo Akinsunmi was the fourth Lions (3-1) player to reach double figures with 10 points.

Brendan Tucker scored a game-high 26 points and pulled down six rebounds to lead the Falcons (0-3), while Mekhail Bethea also had a big game with 24 points and seven assists. Quincy Ademokya (14 points) and Cameron Carithers (10 points) also reached double-figure scoring for Dacula.

BOYS BASKETBALL BOYS BASKETBALL Grayson 49, Wenonah (Ala.) 42 CORINTH, Miss. — Deivon Smith scored 15 points and added seven rebounds to help Grayson to a 49-42 win over Wenonah of Birmingham, Ala., on Saturday in the Lighthouse Classic.

Richards Middle soccer program gets boost from Discovery donation

Discovery High School varsity soccer coaches Jason Hall and Maddie Hoffman gave their feeder program a boost last month.

The Titans delivered two complete sets of boys and girls soccer uniforms, in addition to soccer balls, to the Richards Middle School program. Discovery also has hosted matches, practices and scrimmages at its high school stadium to strengthen the relationship between the two schools.

Richards’ soccer teams have fared well in the Gwinnett County middle school tournament in past seasons.

from a yard out to push the lead to 14-0 with 51 seconds left in the first quarter.

Juanyeh Thomas gave Tech an answer on the ensuing kickoff, taking the ball a yard deep in his end zone and snaking his way through the Georgia coverage before pulling away and going the distance.

Officially, the return went for 100 yards and briefly gave the Jackets some life by pulling them to within 14-7 with 32 seconds left in the opening frame.

“I was just thinking if I can return it, I can go,” said Thomas, who returned a free-kick following a safety for a 77-yard TD in Tech’s win over Virginia last week at Bobby Dodd Stadium. “That was it. I followed the Georgia kickoff team crashing, and I just read the kickoff team, hit it and scored.”

But that was the only score Tech would get until the fourth quarter, with the Jackets managing just three first downs for the rest of the half and seven for the first three quarters.

Georgia quickly answered the Thomas TD with a six-play, 63-yard drive which ended when Fromm hit Jeremiah Holloman with a 12-yard touchdown pass to extend the Bulldogs’ lead back to 14 points and 21-7 just 2:04 into the second

quarter.

The Bulldogs would add 17 more points in the period to take a commanding 38-7 lead and put Tech into a hole it would never climb out of.

“We played against a really good football team, and we played poorly,” Tech coach Paul Johnson said. “We got ourselves dug in a hole, and we never could put together anything consistently on offense. … Credit to Georgia. They did what hey had to do to win.”

The Jackets saved some face by out-scoring the Bulldogs 14-7 in the second half, including a 3-yard TD run by Qua Searcy and a 28-yard scoring strike from TaQuon Marshall to Brad Stewart, but it was far too little, way too late for Tech, which now awaits the announcement of its bowl destination.

Meanwhile, Georgia gears up for a date with Alabama in next week’s SEC Championship Game at Mercedes-Benz Stadium, with a likely spot in the College Football Playoff for the second straight year on the line.

“It’s where this program should be,” Smart said.

“It feels like a game we should be going to every year. Our guys will lay it on the line and they’re excited about the opportunity.”

Chief Justice Roberts is wrong; we have Obama, Trump judges WASHINGTON — For someone trying to demonstrate that the judiciary is not political, getting into a political fight with the president sure is a funny way to do it.

After President Trump called a judge who ruled against him an “Obama judge,” Chief Justice John Roberts issued an extraordinary public rebuke of the president, declaring in a statement: “We do not have Obama judges or Trump judges, Bush judges or Clinton judges.”

Roberts was not only wrong to speak out, Marc but also his claim that Thiessen there are no Obama judges or Trump judges was wrong.

If we do not have Obama judges or Trump judges, then why did Senate Republicans block President Barack Obama’s nomination of Merrick Garland to replace the late Justice Antonin Scalia in the final year of Obama’s term? And why did Democrats filibuster Trump’s nominee, Neil Gorsuch, to fill Scalia’s seat?

Even Roberts’ fellow justices know there is a difference. If there were no Obama judges or Trump judges, then why did Anthony Kennedy wait for Trump’s election to announce his retirement? And why doesn’t Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg just retire now and let Trump nominate her replacement? Because they both want a president who would appoint a successor who shares their judicial philosophy. (And, lo and behold, Trump appointed a former Kennedy clerk, Brett Kavanaugh, to succeed him).

The American people know that Roberts is wrong. In the 2016 election, exit polls showed that 70 percent of voters said Supreme Court appointments were either the most important or an important factor in deciding their vote.

And polls show that Republicans expanded their Senate majority in 2018 in large part because conservative voters were angered over the left’s brutal campaign of character assassination against Kavanaugh.

Roberts is correct that we should not have “Trump judges” or “Obama judges.” It would be better for the country if every judge, regardless of which president nominated him or her, strictly interpreted our laws and the Constitution. But the reality is that not all do. While conservative presidents tend to nominate judges who exercise a philosophy of judicial restraint — follow our laws as written — liberal presidents tend to nominate judicial activists who legislate from the bench and shape the law to reach their preferred outcomes. The left believes in a “living Constitution,” which can be interpreted to mean whatever they want it to mean without being formally amended.

Democratic presidents have been much more successful than Republicans in nominating judges who hew to their judicial philosophy.

Over the past three decades, nearly half of all Republican Supreme Court nominees have either become “swing votes” (Sandra Day O’Connor, Kennedy) or defected to the court’s liberal bloc entirely (David Souter). Even Roberts has joined the court’s liberal bloc at key times, abandoning his judicial philosophy that judges should not legislate from the bench to provide the swing vote to uphold Obamacare.

By contrast, not one liberal justice during the past three decades has defected to the conservative bloc or turned into a regular swing vote.

What is true of the Supreme Court applies even more to the appellate courts. Trump is right, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit is a disgrace. This is the court that ruled that the phrase “under God” in the Pledge of Allegiance was unconstitutional, that the Second Amendment doesn’t recognize an individual right to bear concealed arms and that bans on assisted suicide are unconstitutional.

This is why it is so important that Trump has nominated, and the Senate has confirmed, a record number of district and circuit court judges — and why liberals are aghast at the pace of Trump’s judicial confirmations. As former Hillary Clinton adviser Ronald Klain complained, “Trump’s judicial nominees will be deciding the scope of our civil liberties and the shape of civil rights laws in the year 2050 — and beyond.” Everyone, left and right, knows that Roberts is wrong.

We do have an independent judiciary. Judges are not beholden to any president, including the one who appoints them. The judiciary plays a key role in our system of checks and balances. “Trump judges” should rule against Trump when he is wrong. That is why it is so important for the chief justice to stay above politics. Roberts is right that our “independent judiciary is something we should all be thankful for.” Rolling around in the rhetorical mud with Trump is not just bad form; it also undermines the very judicial independence Roberts is seeking to uphold.

Thankful for a great writer’s inspiration Any mention of Thanksgiving — which I am about to mention even though the day itself has passed — must first include a caveat that no one ever has or ever will write a Thanksgiving column like Furman Bisher, the late and great sports editor of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. He owns that category like Ray Charles Robinson, of Albany, Ga., owns “Georgia on my Mind.”

I am thankful for the times I spent with Furman and his wife, Lynda, in their home overlooking the marshes of St. Simons Island as we watched the sun set, enjoyed a crackling fire, an adult beverage and listened to stories of everybody from Ty Cobb and Shoeless Joe Jackson to Jack Nicklaus and Bobby Cox. He knew them all.

A few of his successors have attempted to replicate Bisher’s Thanksgiving column, but they have all turned out poor imitations. This one likely will be no better, but it’s the thought that counts.

Some of you will see this after Thanksgiving Day, but that is OK. I haven’t checked the rule book, but I think it is permissible to be thankful all day, every day.

I am thankful I live in a country where we can dispute election results but don’t

I am thankful for an I am thankful for sounds: automobile that tells me how a child’s laughter, a trout to get to where I am going, stream, Chet Atkins’ guitar, honks at me if I leave my keys Handel’s “Messiah.” in the car and warns me when I am thankful for my my tires need air.

I am thankful I have had an opportunity over the past 20 years to share my thoughts with you on everything from broccoli (I hate it) to the University of Georgia, the oldest state-chartered university in the nation, located in Athens, the Classic City of the South (I love it), And that you tell me when you agree and when you disagree. I am also thankful to the editors who make it possible for us to meet like this.

Finally, thank you, Furman Bisher, for the inspiration for this column. You can rest easy, my friend, that I did my best but didn’t come close to your legendary Thanksgiving columns. For that, we can all be thankful.

I will never forget that weekend in 1963 I will remember this weekend my entire life, at least the 1963 version. I was 11. For my parents’ generation, it was Pearl Harbor. For my kids’ generation, it was 9/11, which is seared into my memory, as well. But for me and those who approximate my age — Friday, Nov. 22, 1963, is the day that we will never forget — where we were, who we were with and what we did for the hours, days and weekend afterward.

I was in the sixth grade, in Miss Martha Ramsey’s class. I sat on the second row from the wall, four seats back. Honesty compels me to admit that I chose that seat because of all the pretty girls congregated in the general vicinity. Our principal, Miss Jordy Tanner, came to the door, which was in front of me and to my left, and whispered something to Miss Martha. It was obvious that Miss Tanner had been crying, which was something none of us had ever seen or even imagined.

Miss Martha grabbed her chest and slumped back against the wall, tears pouring down her face. I was shocked, as were most of my classmates, at this behavior from the grownups in our world.

The two educators stepped out into the hall, and then Miss Martha looked around the door jamb and beckoned me out into the hall, too.

I readily admit being the teacher’s pet in every class I was ever in at Porterdale school.

“Oh, no!” was her response, “Is it Aunt Martha?”

Her aunt had some health issues. Thinking back, I guess I never realized how fortunate I was to attend a school where I knew my teachers so intimately, and were known so Darrell Huckaby well by them.

When I told my daddy what I just blurted out that she he had said, he tried to explain needed to come out in the hall. that some people are just

ignorant and that I should try to ignore such people and stay away from them.

As soon as I got in the house, I sat down in front of the television and there I stayed until Monday after the funeral and I remember everything.

The grassy knoll, the book store depository, the triple underpass, the Stemmons Freeway, Parkland Hospital, Officer Tippit being shot, the search of the theater, the arrest of Lee Harvey Oswald. I was still watching on Sunday when Jack Ruby walked up to Oswald in the basement of the jail and shot him dead.

I remember Jackie and the bloody dress and the flagdraped coffin lying in state in the Capitol Rotunda. I remember the funeral possession and the horse drawn caisson and the rider-less horse, Blackjack, with the single stirrup thrown over the saddle. I remember John-John and Caroline standing hand-in-hand and JohnJohn saluting as his daddy’s body went by. And I remember the soldier playing taps and the entire nation grieving.

I remember it all. Fifty-five years ago this weekend. And I don’t care what the Warren Commission tried to sell us — I still don’t believe Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone.

Rest in Peace, JFK. The country you led is in a heck of a mess today.

istilling alcohol on a professional basis may not be the easiest career to get into.

Just ask the owners of Hope Springs Distillery in Lilburn.

The company was started about four years ago, but there were a lot the steps its owners needed to go through to get financing. Then, there was the time needed to procure equipment to make alcohol. Distilling is heavily regulated as well.

And then there was the trial and error process of making a product. After getting through all of that, Hope Springs’ first product, Top Hat Vodka, was finally ready to hit store shelves — a year and a half ago.

“It’s a business that a lot of people are trying to get into Hope Springs Distillery co-owner Paul Allen explains the equipment used to distill alcohol now because there is money to during a tour of the facility in Lilburn. The distillery’s co-owners began offering tours of their be made in it,” Hope Springs facility earlier this year, giving visitors a chance to see the equipment used in the distilling process. co-owner Jaz Jarzewiak said.

“However, the amount of time it takes to get into the industry, the amount of time it takes to hurts a lot of people.”

Distillery has undergone a lot Hat Vodka in mid-2017. understand how to make the But after getting over that of growth in the year and a half There are now tours of the product, the learning curve, learning curve, Hope Springs since it begin distributing Top 4,000-square-foot facility,

which are offered from 4 to 6 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays.

The addition of a tasting room is another sign of that growth.

And there are new products being offered too.

A year ago, vodka was the only product coming out of the distillery. Since then, it has been producing and distributing Jetty Green Absinthe, which is distilled by Jarzewiak, who co-owns the distillery with its founders, Paul Allen and his wife, Betsey Dahlberg.

And, on Monday, the distillery announced the launch of a third product, Garner Creek Gin, which is expected to hit stores in the coming weeks.

Reporting from Panama City in the wake of the hurricane My family and I moved to Panama City in the summer of 1989. I immediately hated the place.

Having grown up in East Tennessee, and coming to from Paducah, Ky., I was accustomed to hills, hardwoods and rich soil. The flat, sandy ground and tall, slender pines of the Florida Panhandle appeared unsightly by comparison.

Little did I know, when we left five years later, how much I would miss those ugly trees. Nor could I have anticipated how much uglier the North Florida landscape would be without them.

But that’s what we discovered last weekend, when my wife and I returned to Panama City with a group from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Days Saints, to help with Hurricane Michael clean-up.

We’d already seen plenty of pictures of the damage, posted on social media by friends who still live in PC. Probably you have, too — stark photos from Mexico Beach, Callaway, Tyndall AFB, and PC itself showing toppled trees, leveled homes and businesses, ripped-off roofs, shattered windows.

But photos cannot do justice to the actual devastation. A photograph can capture only a few hundred

Rob Jenkins feet at a time. What was truly awe-inspiring, as we drove into town, was the sheer scope of the destruction: Mile after mile of snapped-off tree trunks — those “ugly” pines, tall and slender no more.

A veritable sea of bluetarped roofs in neighborhood after neighborhood.

Piles of debris, eight to 10 feet high, lining the roadways for city blocks.

Some homes and businesses endured less damage than others, but none escaped unscathed.

I’ve been on several of these church-sponsored disaster-relief missions, including one to Slidell, La., in the aftermath of Katrina. This time, the damage looked more like the result of a tornado than a hurricane, except it was far more widespread, measured in dozens of miles rather than hundreds of yards.

In fact, I’m no meteorol-

ogist, but it seemed to me that Michael was more like giant tornado than a small hurricane, a tightly wound ball of killer winds that plowed through Panama City and Mexico Beach like a cosmic lawn-mower with a dull blade, razing trees about 10-12 feet off the ground while leaving the occasional battered stalk still standing.

The group I was with, about 15 Gwinnett County men, women and teenagers, cleared trees from six home sites over two days. It was immensely satisfying to step back and see bare lawn where, a few hours earlier, three or four monster trunks had lain.

That is, until we glanced around and saw the horror that remained, the homes we couldn’t get to, even with dozens of similar crews working through the weekend.

It will literally take years for the area to recover — and probably a generation before those ugly, beautiful pines are tall and slender again. Please continue to keep the people of Panama City and other affected areas in your prayers.

Without giving away too many secrets, the basic process in making the alcohol starts with 700 pounds of wheat, 230 gallons of water and about one-half cup of enzymes being mixed in a masher.

The product then goes to the fermenting tanks, where yeast is added, and later on the distiller. Eventually, it goes through plate chamthat Allen once owned. bers and then out of the “When it comes out the machinery through a device parrot from that (final) called a parrot, which is named Waldo after a parrot distillation, it’s 95 percent

Additionally, Robson and GIVE West high school language arts and social studies teacher Chris Paul have established a scholarship for seniors who attended either GIVE West in Norcross or GIVE East in Lawrenceville.

“I am honored to shine a light on the GIVE Centers in Gwinnett County and the important and powerful effect they have on students’ lives every day,” Robson said in a news release. “Alternative Education is a vital part of our school system and helps our students who need it most.”

Good News from Schools appears in the Gwinnett Daily Post’s Sunday Edition, highlighting achievements and success.

Dahlberg serves and sells Top Hat Vodka, Jetty Green Absinth, Garner Creek Gin and other products which are made by friends of Hope Springs’ owners and which can be mixed with the distillery’s alcohol.

“You have to have an outside door so people come in here and then we can take them out for a tour if they want to see the place, they can have a cocktail, I can show them how to make something with what we make and they can sample it, or we can give free samples in here and we can sell three bottles per person per day in this room,” Dahlberg said.

During the tours, the visitors meet Big Al, Waldo, Tanky McTankface and Monster Mash and learn about the process used to make distilled spirits.

The visitors can also see the area where the products are bottled and where labels placed on the bottles before they end up back at the tasting room.

“People seem to be having a great time,” Dahlberg said.

Approximately 185 retail locations and growing Just over a year ago, Dahlberg and Allen told the Daily Post that their vodka was being sold in about 50 retail shops.

But, while the distillery has expanded its product lineup and other offerings, the number of places where people can buy their alcohol has also expanded.

Their vodka and absinthe — and the gin soon enough — is now available in 185 retail locations, according to Dahlberg.

And with the arrival of the holiday season, she’s trying to get Hope Springs products on the radar of as many Gwinnett County retailers as possible.

“Right now, during the holidays, I’m concentrating on trying to go around to every place in Gwinnett County that people drink spirits in or buy spirits from because when people are looking for something good to drink, I want them to think of us first,” Dahlberg said.

‘Tirelessly advocated’ more from gwinnett

Gwinnett DA honors local victim’s rights advocate

By IsaBel HugHes

isabel.hughes@gwinnettdailypost.com

Gwinnett County District Attorney Danny Porter recently honored a local victim’s rights advocate for her work in helping pass Marsy’s Law, a victim’s rights amendment that was voted on in the Nov. 6 election.

At the Gwinnett County District Attorney’s Office Victim Witness Program’s annual Support Group Breakfast on Nov. 15, Porter awarded Kimya Motley the Victims Voice Award, saying that she had played an “integral” role in passing Georgia’s Marsy’s Law. The law gives victims the right to be provided notice of all proceedings involving the alleged criminal and the right to be heard at any proceedings involving the release, plea, or sentencing of the accused.

It also gives victims the right to be notified of any arrest, release or escape of the accused and notified of any scheduled court dates.

It also allows the legislature to further define, expand and provide for the enforcement of the rights.

In addition to her work with Marsy’s Law, Motley founded Haven of Light International, a nonprofit that has a mission to “educate, inspire and advocate for our families in an effort to stop violence against women through intervention, education, support and accountability.”

Motley founded the organization after she and her then 10-year-old daughter both survived multiple gunshot wounds by her ex-husband.

Porter said at the breakfast, which allows Gwinnett crime victim assistance agencies the opportunity to meet one another and learn about services that other agencies offer, that Motley has “tirelessly advocated” for Georgia and Gwinnett’s crime victims.

But when someone making $10 million a year lies to get more millions, it’s not about money. It’s about ego.

The person doing it may think it’s about money, but I can assure, it’s pure ego. And it’s a widespread problem.

The LRN Moral Leadership study revealed that only 14 percent of employees say their leaders acknowledge their own failings, and only 13 percent make amends when they get things wrong.

That, my friends, is ego on overdrive. When you decide you’re the smartest person in the room and you’re above making mistakes, customers and employees cease to matter. The organization is merely a vehicle to show how smart you are, and ranking up more and more dollars proves it.

Ego-based leadership is a recipe for disengaged employees and lack of innovation. Longer-term, it leads to a “money is everything culture” which incites the kind of cheating that makes headlines. If you can’t put ego aside at the top of a company, it’s only a matter of time before the rest of the company falls apart.

Leaders who do put their ego aside reap major benefits. The Moral Leadership Study found, “When managers lead with humility, they are 22 times more likely to be trusted by their colleagues. When managers are able to make themselves small and create an atmosphere in which others can stand up and deliver a great performance, they are 11 times more likely to achieve their business goals.”

If you want to avoid cheating, help yourself and your team keep the egos in check.

Jackson EMC donates $20K to help homeless

HomeFirst Gwinnett focuses on those just released from jail FROM STAFF REPORTS Jackson EMC has donated $20,000 to the HomeFirst Gwinnett Initiative, which helps people who are homeless secure necessary mental, job, financial and legal counseling, shelter and clothing to make a fresh start.

“We are very grateful to Jackson EMC for providing this funding as we begin a new organization,” said Pat McDonough, of Anderson Tate & Carr, who is leading the initiative.

“Our primary focus is individuals who have been released from the Gwinnett jail with nowhere to call home.”

The Jackson EMC donation was made

from margin refunds that have been unclaimed by the electric cooperative’s members for five years. Legislation passed in 2005 permits Georgia electric cooperatives to make charitable, education and economic development contributions of unclaimed margin refunds.

Jackson Electric Membership Corporation, the largest electric cooperative in Georgia and one of the largest in the nation, is headquartered 50 miles northeast of Atlanta in Jefferson.

The cooperative serves more than 228,000 meters on 14,000 miles of energized wire. For more information, visit jacksonemc.com.

Oh, how the mighty fall.

Nissan chairman Carlos Ghosn, one of world’s most high-profile executives, was arrested after an internal investigation revealed “significant acts of financial misconduct.” Ghosn is accused of underreporting his income by millions, violating Japan’s finance and exchange laws.

How would you feel if you worked for this guy? He was making $9.7 million a year, yet he lied in order to get more money.

With headlines like this, are we surprised employee faith in leadership is eroding? A recent study from global consulting firm LRN found less than a quarter of employees think their managers exhibit the qualities and behaviors of moral leaders. Only 17 percent said their leaders normally tell the truth.

I’m guessing the numbers

The blessing of experiencing trials, tribulations Sometimes, it’ll come up in conversation among family. We’ll repeat it. We’ll remember it. But we’ll still struggle to understand it.

In every prayer we ever heard Daddy utter publicly — either in church, at a family gathering or as he blessed the food — he’d always say, “Dear Lord, we thank you for the trials and tribulations of this life, knowing they bring us closer to thy Almighty hand.”

What? Thankful for the trials and tribulations? He never wavered. He said it always and practiced it faithfully. In the hardest of times, Daddy thanked God openly and often. He’d say, “Let us learn what you’d have us to learn in the midst of this storm.”

Let me be frank: 2018

so strong for so long that I began to think I could feel cancer eating away at the lining. It turned out to be ulcers from a bacterial infection that was so serious it took four weeks of twice daily, massive antibiotics to heal.

Tink would say, “But look Ronda at how blessed we are.”

Rich He’s right.

Sometimes when I was has not been my favorite. It pressing toward a hard deadseems like most days have line and I’d sigh, Tink would been a struggle in one way ask, “What’s wrong?” or another. Deadlines were “Well,” I’d reply, “I don’t unrelenting. Too many at one feel good.” Pause. “And Burt time. Aggravations of this Reynolds died.” or that. The kudzu grew at a I sought to find what record pace. Burt Reynolds there was to learn and why I died. This, after I’d spent a should be grateful. Yes, I was week trying to chase him closer to the Almighty hand. down, two months earlier, in The Lord and I talked pretty Jupiter, Fla. constantly, even as I was My migraines increased running from the jaws of a and stomach pains were growling deadline.

Then one day, in the midst of much gnashing of teeth, I thought of Thomas Dorsey.

Suddenly, Daddy’s words of thanksgiving made sense.

In 1932, Dorsey, born in Villa Rica, Ga., was on the road, making a living as a blues singer when he received word that his wife had died in childbirth. His baby boy died two days later.

He came home to Atlanta, struck to his knees with grief. Dorsey, the son of a black preacher, turned to the roots of his upbringing. One afternoon, he sat down at the piano and with one hand began to tap out a haunting melody as tears ran down his face. In a moment, his heartbreak gave way to words.

“Precious Lord, take my hand; Lead me on, help me stand. I’m tired, I’m weak,

I’m worn.”

From his anguish would be born one of the most famous gospel songs in history. It was Elvis’ favorite.

Dr. Martin Luther King’s last words before the shots rang out in Memphis were, “Play it real pretty,” after asking that it be sung at the next day’s rally. Mahalia Jackson sang it at his funeral and, later, President Lyndon Johnson was laid to rest as it was sung, as well.

Once I heard Darrell Waltrip singing it as he sauntered through a parking lot toward a restaurant. “That’s my favorite hymn,” he said.

It is sung faithfully at every family funeral of ours.

It’s powerful. It’s tearsinducing. But it’s mighty in its comfort.

Dorsey would further

channel his grief into another gospel standard, “(There Will Be) Peace In The Valley.”

One man’s torment, his trials, his heartbreak gave to the world two of the most comforting hymns in history.

For this Thanksgiving, I am thankful for that. Let me close with the words that ended every public prayer of Daddy’s: “Now, dear Lord, we bow our unworthy heads and give you the honor, the praise and the glory for it all.”

That includes migraines and stomachaches.

Amen.

Lawrenceville resident inducted into Alpha Chi honor society FROM STAFF REPORTS Gardner-Webb University inducted 37 members into Alpha Chi, a national collegiate honor society, in a ceremony held Nov. 11 in Blanton Auditorium in Hamrick Hall.

Among the inductees was Allyson Harris of Lawrenceville, a nursing major. Harris is a 2016 graduate of Hebron Christian Academy.

Alpha Chi promotes academic excellence and exemplary character among college and university students and honors those who achieve such distinction. Membership is open to students with junior and senior classification who demonstrate strong character and whose GPA ranks them in the top 10 percent of their academic classes. The GWU North Carolina Zeta Chapter of Alpha Chi was established in 1972.

Gardner-Webb’s Alpha Chi chapter earns consistent national recognition for its academic achievements, including honors for presentations at the annual Alpha Chi National Convention. Last year’s delegation won a total of $10,000 in prizes and grants for their research presentations.
