Artist wants closure for mystery man’s family

specifically. … You try to make a connection anyway you can to remind yourself that that is a human and that human has worth because they do have worth to somebody.

“They certainly have worth to me.”

The release of the 3D facial reconstruction is putting the mystery surrounding the man’s skeleton back in the spotlight. In addition to his identity being unknown, the fact only his skeleton was

found, makes it unclear how he died.

It’s also not clear how long the body had been in the wooded area where it was found. Officials know it had to be several years based on the fact that only a skeleton remained, but Lawson said it might take an anthropologist to possibly determine a time range for how long the man had been dead.

Georgia Bureau of Investigation Forensic Artist Kelly Lawson created this new 3D reconstruction to show what a man whose skeleton was found near Suwanee Creek in Buford in July 2015 may have looked like.

Investigators are still trying to identify the man.

As the sun set over the Gwinnett County Fair, smiling parents eyed their children, wiping butter and barbecue sauce from their faces.

Gwinnett County Fair Manager Dale Thurman smiled too as he thought back over the last nine days, a successful run for the county fair.

“It’s been great, really,” he said.

“Other than a little rain on the first Sunday, though we actually had a lot of people that day, we had a lot of people every day.”

As the 54th annual fair comes to a close — today is the event’s last day — Thurman said that everything ran smoothly, as organizers hope it will every year.

“Everybody seemed to have a good time, and it’s been a good, safe fair,” he said. “That’s what we’re after. We love to see the people that participate in the barn, of course that’s their thing, the kids that participate in Miss Gwinnett, all those things — that’s always fun and a big part. Everybody’s got their little slice of it they like, and for us, we just try to oversee it all.”

Those little slices include everything from amusement rides to the carnival to fair food, livestock shows, the 4-H Farm Friends petting zoo, exhibits, field crop/ home garden contests and more.

Zach Sandborn didn’t waste any time digging into a set of four or five ribs covered in sauce as he sat down with his family to eat at Lawrenceville’s Rock’n Ribville event at the Lawrenceville Lawn on Saturday.

The 18-year old Dacula resident quickly cleaned the meat off one rib and then started into the next one. And the next one after that and so on until he’d cleaned the bones.

Perhaps not surprisingly, Sandborn said ribs are his favorite type of barbecue.

“I think I like the sauce the best. Like, the sauce is the reason you bite into them,” he said. “I like the milder, sweeter flavor. I thought (the ribs I ate) were really good. … I don’t know how to describe it. They were pretty mild, which is what I like the most about them, and I like how they would just fall off the bone.”

BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS

The legislators and legislative hopefuls took on two big topics of political debate during the forum: Whether Georgia should expand Medicaid and whether teachers should be armed with guns.

Moore said the state has a “moral obligation” to expand Medicaid and that doing so would have economic benefits for Georgia.

“It would also help create 56,000 good paying jobs in health care so the Medicaid expansion is not only the right thing to do, it is the economically smart thing to do,” she said.

Hilton and Reeves raised issues with expanding Medicaid, however. Hilton said the state already spends $2.8 billion to provide Medicaid to residents.

“Sure, we could expand it, but the real (issue) is how

do we pay for it because a federal match is going to drop off eventually and leave a big hole, a $500 million hole, in our budget,” he said.

Meanwhile, Harrell and Millar both expressed opposition to giving guns to teachers. The idea arose earlier this year after the shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Fla. “It does not make me feel safe to have more guns in schools or on our university campuses,” Harrell said. “Let me be clear, if teachers have guns in schools, accidents will happen. Those guns will not necessarily stay in their hands. They will get in other people’s hands.”

Millar said, “What we need to do is put resource officers in our schools that are trained and arm those resource officers.”

cans with Disabilities Act as well as making sure the mill is sturdy enough to house any exhibits.

The mill was built sometime between 1868 and 1879 by brothers John Griffin and Levi J. Loveless. It features a large, water-powered wheel that turned gears which rolled large millstones against each other in the process grinding up wheat and corn that could be used in flour and cornmeal.

Gwinnett County has owned Freeman’s Mill Park since 2001 and there was a restoration effort in 2009.

It was initially planned to reopen this year to tie in

with the county’s bicentennial celebrations but Deputy County Administrator Phil Hoskins said it is likely that it will not happen until next year.

“The first phase was getting the building where it could be occupied, public access,” Hoskins said.

“That work has been done and what was approved (Tuesday) was the exhibits and how they are going to interpret (the site), which I think includes building a separate little building where part of the exhibit would be.”

The park is located at 1401 Alcovy Road in Lawrenceville.

Freeman’s Mill renovations in exhibit design, production

BY CURT YEOMANS curt.yeomans @gwinnettdailypost.com

Gwinnett County officials are moving ahead with the next phase in their plans to turn Freeman’s

Mill Park into an interactive, educational site where school groups and other residents can learn about the history of grist mills in the county.

County commissioners approved a $442,279

exhibit design and fabrication contract with Seattlebased Pacific Studio earlier this week. The studio will create interpretive exhibits that show the history of the Freeman’s Mill site, including how the mill worked

and what it was used for.

The work is being funded with money from the 2009 special purpose local option sales tax.

“Once complete, our visitors including the K through 12 programs from local schools will be able to experience the mill as those in the past did,” Gwinnett County Community Services Director Tina Fleming told commissioners Tuesday.

The county closed the 12-acre park last year to begin renovations to restore and revamp the site. That work included accessibility improvements to the mill to comply with the Ameri-

County to hold human trafficking info event

BY ISABEL HUGHES

IF YOU GO

isabel.hughes @gwinnettdailypost.com

In an effort to educate the public about human trafficking, on Wednesday, the Gwinnett County Human Relations Commission is hosting an informational event that will address the problem.

The Human Trafficking Education Forum, which will be held at the Gwinnett Justice and Administration Center from 7 to 9 p.m., is an opportunity “for the public and professionals in fields that work closely with children, such as medicine, education and government” to receive information about trafficking and what they can do, a county news release said.

“Human trafficking is a significant problem in metro Atlanta, including Gwinnett County,” said Human Relations Commission Chairman Fer-

nando Andrade. “There are many warning signs a child is being held against her or his will that people could miss. It could be a homemade tattoo, or a male who answers questions directed to a female, or other more subtle indicators that someone is being trafficked. This session can help people spot telltale signs that could lead to a person being rescued.”

Forum speakers include trafficking survivors, health care professionals, police and others with experience in identifying and helping rehabilitate victims.

The event will be held in the GJAC auditorium, located at 75 Langley Drive in Lawrenceville.

Doors open at 6:30 p.m. to give the public an opportunity to talk with community organizations dedicated to stopping human trafficking and to helping victims.

There is no registration fee, though RSVP is requested at eventbrite. com/e/human-traffickingeducation-forum-tickets-47827902544.

The WEA system is used to warn the public about dangerous weather, missing children and “other critical situations” through alerts on cell phones, FEMA said.

The national test will use the same special tone and vibration as with all WEA messages (i.e. Tornado Warning, AMBER Alert). Users cannot opt out of receiving the WEA test.

Statins lower risk of heart attack Dear Dr. roaCH: You have written many times about elevated cholesterol, but I have never seen anything about low cholesterol. I am an 86-year-old man with Type 2 diabetes that has been treated with moderate success using oral medication.

I am 5 feet, 10 inches tall and weigh 160 pounds. I exercise regularly. My total cholesterol has always been low (under 125).

Recently it was 103 — with HDL 41 (it also has always been low), LDL 38, triglycerides 112 and total/ HDL ratio of 2.4. I have high blood pressure under control on lisinopril and HCTZ. My physician has suggested using a statin to raise the HDL. — S.J.Z. ansWer: Statin drugs reduce the risk of having a first heart attack in people at moderate to high risk for heart disease. I think of statins not just as drugs that lower cholesterol or raise HDL (although they do), but also as drugs that reduce heart risk when used appropriately. This includes not only people with very high total or LDL cholesterol levels, but also those with low HDL cholesterol levels. It also includes people who, because of other reasons, have a high risk for developing heart disease within the next 10 years. The exact number varies, but most experts recommend statin drugs to those with 10-year risk that’s over 10 percent (some have a lower threshold of 7.5 percent).

One major risk for developing heart disease is age. Despite your low cholesterol and blood pressure, which I assume is under control, your age alone puts you at high risk for heart disease. The diabetes, even if well-controlled, adds additional risk. None of the calculators available can calculate your risk, because your total cholesterol is so low, and because they aren’t valid for people over 80, but when I put in age 80 and the lowest LDL the calculator accepts, the calculator estimates your risk of developing heart disease in the next 10 years at about 50 percent. That could be reduced with treatment, and my best estimate is that your risk on medication might be around 40 percent.

On the one hand, a statin is likely to decrease your risk of a heart attack. On the other hand, you have gone 86 years without developing heart disease.

Further, serious side effects, although still not common, are more common in older people. There is no answer that all experts would agree on, and it is left to the judgment of you and your doctor.

Finally, I should mention that some 86-year-old people are “younger” than other 86-year-olds. Since it seems you are generally doing well and keeping active, I would be more inclined to support a decision to try the medication — and if you did so, being careful to look for side effects and being ready to stop the medication if necessary.

Ex-boyfriend should become ex-tenant Dear amy: About six months ago, my boyfriend, “Gabe,” and I broke up after I found out he had been meeting up with other women without telling me. However, we had recently renewed our leasing agreement, so I agreed to move in with my brother and let Gabe stay at the apartment until the lease expired. Because of this, we have been in constant contact since the split. We are mainly amicable. I made it clear to him that I would be willing to work on our relationship, if he was, too.

Fast-forward to now. I just found out that Gabe has had a new girlfriend for the last two months.

She’s been living in our old place with him, and he’s been lying about it the whole time. I will sometimes assist him with bills and rent if he doesn’t have enough, so this was infuriating.

Now he tells me that he isn’t really into her and he only allows her to stay there still so she can help with the bills. He kisses me every time he sees me, tells me he loves me and misses me, etc.

I’m getting mixed signals, and I’m stuck at that place where I don’t know if I should wait to see how it pans out, or if I should move on. Is he just keeping me around in case things don’t work out with her? Should I stay or should I go?

Ask Amy

Amy Dickinson — Unsure Dear UnsUre: You sound like a fairly smart person. So — what about life with “Gabe” is so confusing to you? His behavior is consistent: He hooks up with women because he feels like it and because they help him pay the bills. Then he bounces back to you because you are his backup plan.

Let’s recap: You are coleasing this apartment, but not living there. Evidently you have the resources to not only relinquish your apartment to him, but to also give him money. All Gabe has to do is to kiss you now and then and continue to lie to you. Are you really so easy? I hope not.

But, to answer your direct question, I do NOT think you should go. HE should!

However, understanding that you likely won’t be able to get him out of this apartment, you should contact the landlord, ask for a lease modification and make

every effort to get your name off of the lease.

Not being tethered to him should help you to move on, because then you won’t have any reason to be in touch.

Dear amy: A good friend of mine has been married for years to a jerk. She acknowledges that he is emotionally abusive and controlling, but has decided to stay with him because she recognizes that she would have a hard time on her own.

She complains endlessly about how terrible he is, but then gets upset when her friends don’t want to spend time with him. She can socialize without him, but she insists on bringing him to larger events and gets upset when some of us indicate that we’d rather not include him.

In addition to knowing how awful he treats her, he is also obnoxious.

She feels like we should at least act like we are friends with him, too, because otherwise she is being punished twice (by him and by us).

I understand that it is rude not to include a spouse in social activities, especially when other spouses are invited, but I hate having to act friendly and pretend that I don’t know what an awful person he is.

Is it OK to occasionally ask her to attend events

alone, even when other spouses are invited, and if not, what is the best way to navigate this?

— Flummoxed Friend Dear FlUmmoxeD: If you know in advance that a behavior you’re contemplating is rude, then your choices are to either be rude with abandon — and own it — or to simply not be rude, and include this husband when others’ are also included.

Your friend already knows how you feel about her husband. Perhaps, if he offends you at a gathering, instead of communicating about him through her, you could (privately) call him out on his obnoxious behavior.

Dear amy: “Frustrated Granddaughter” described how her grandparents had moved across the country and were now pressuring family members to visit! This is the sort of thing elders should think about before making a huge move, don’t you think?

— Slapping my Forehead Dear slapping: Yes, I do.

“But he was completely clean so that’s how I know he’s been there for awhile.”

Some factors, such as eye and hair color, and hair style and length, were not available to Lawson as she came up with a 2D facial reconstruction sketch released last year, and now the 3D reconstruction. There are some hints, though, that helped her come up with what he looked like.

Because of the shape of the skull, she knew it was a man. She consulted two anthropologists, including Laura Fulginiti, an Arizona-based expert in forensic anthropology, about what race the man may have been.

Isakson endorses Reeves in Senate District 48 race Republican Senate District 48 candidate Matt Reeves picked up an endorsement this past week from a notable name in Georgia politics: U.S. Sen. Johnny Isakson, R-Ga. Reeves’ camp announced the endorsement Monday, hours before Reeves appeared at a candidates forum in Peachtree Corners.

Reeves is running to replace outgoing state Sen. David Shafer, R-Duluth, who opted to run for lieutenant governor this year rather than seek re-election to the Senate.

“I am proud to support Matt Reeves for State Senate,” Isakson said in a statement. “This Gwinnett County and Johns Creek State Senate seat is critical to our success in Georgia, and I know that Matt is the right person for the job. His commitment to his local

community and his experience as Legal Counsel for the House Judiciary Committee will serve the citizens of Senate District 48 well.”

Perdue calls funding process used by Congress ‘broken’ U.S. Sen. David Perdue, R-Ga., criticized the process Congress passes funding measures during an appearance on Bloomberg TV this past week and called for changes to be made for the system.

Perdue, who is no stranger to criticizing the way things operate in Washington, D.C., opened a new salvo on Congress during the appearance after the Senate passed a continuing resolution to fund the government until early December.

“Congress’ funding process is broken,” Perdue said in the appearance. “In the last 44 years, Congress has only fully funded the government on time four times. It’s outrageous, and it’s got to be fixed now.”

While Perdue has been critical of the continuing resolution, his fellow senator from Georgia, Sen. Johnny Isakson, R-Ga., was more measured in his comments on the measure earlier in the week.

“Today’s legislation is another step toward completion of the work the Senate began in August to help ensure on-time funding of programs that help more hardworking Georgians and their families succeed,” Isakson said in a statement Tuesday.

The fire department is using the incident as an opportunity to remind residents about the importance of having working smoke alarms on each level in a house, including one in each bedroom.

“Be sure to test the alarm monthly and change the battery twice a year.

Develop a home fire escape plan and practice fire drills regularly,” Rutledge said.

“Keep a portable (ABC) multi-purpose fire extinguisher close at hand in the kitchen to douse a small fire. Look for and eliminate home hazards that could cause a fire to start or spread quickly.

“Keep your home and family safe by practicing fire safety every day.”

U.S. Rep. Hank Johnson, D-Ga., wants to increase the number of refugees who are allowed to enter the United States, and he’s filed a resolution in the House of Representatives to urge President Donald Trump make it happen.

Johnson filed House Resolution 1073 on Thursday to urge the president to let 110,000 refugees who are fleeing persecution or violence in their native countries come into this country. Johnson’s office said the number of refugees who will be allowed into the country this year is 45,000 people and that the number is expected to be lowered to 30,000 in fiscal year 2019.

“It’s in our national security interests to take in refugees because that helps stabilize frontline nations who are overburdened by refugees, and the refugees who come to this country create jobs as entrepreneurs and are self-sufficient within six months,” Johnson said in a statement.

Johnson used harsh rhetoric against the Trump administration elsewhere in his statement, accusing the White House of pushing “xenophobic and antiimmigrant policies,” which the congressman said are “a direct correlation to the paltry number of refugees that are being resettled.”

Johnson’s resolution has 51 cosponsors and has been endorsed by several groups, including the U.S. Committee for Refugees and Immigrants, Center for Community Change, Center for Popular Democracy, Family Action Network Movement, Grassroots Global

win with this kind of crowd,” Swine Dining team member Bill Bradford said. “The people who are competing here are incredible. We had a good cook (in pit master Anthony Mullins).”

The people who attended it had to battle sweltering heat, but they were encouraged to stay hydrated and try to stay in the shade if they could.

The heat didn’t stop attendees from digging into the food available at the festival, though.

Lawrenceville resident Daniel Minich and his wife, Tatiana Minich, stopped to get beef tips at one vendor booth. Then Daniel saw some of the ribs at a neighboring booth and decided he

wanted to try some of that as well, so he bought some.

“I love ribs and brisket,” he said. “With the brisket, I like the smoke ring, and I mean, who doesn’t like ribs?”

There were other treats to be had at the event as well.

Loganville resident Tracy Baugh and Jeff Obrecht got drinks served in carved-out pineapples at the Tropical Smashers Ice Cold Fresh Fruit Chillers to battle the heat. She got a tropical punch drink. He got a cherry-flavored drink.

Overall, the couple said they enjoyed their time at the event.

“It’s been a lot of fun and we’ve gotten to try a lot of different foods,” Baugh said.

Closure struction will be posted on the GBI’s website and officials want to get it shared in as many places as possible including outside Georgia in case the man was from another state and has no family in the state.

Information about the remains have also been included in the nationwide CODIS and NAMUS databases.

“This person does not belong at the Gwinnett County Medical Examiner’s office, which is where the remains are,” Gwinnett Medical Examiner Senior Investigator Eddie Reeves said. “This person belongs to somebody. Who that is, we don’t know but we would like to return him to those who he belongs to and let them at least know where he is.”

Gwinnett County Police Cpl. Michele Pihera said the reconstruction has generated some information flowing into investigators working the case. It remains to be seen, however, whether that information will lead to a breakthrough.

“As of (Thursday), the detective received a few phone calls that he was following up on, but nothing major in the investigation to report as of now,” Pihera

said.

Quick identification not guaranteed It’s not always easy to identify a deceased John or Jane Doe, and there is no guarantee that the release of the new facial reconstruction this past week will lead to his remains suddenly being identified, according to Lawson and Reeves.

“It could be who knows how long,” Lawson said.

“Sometimes we get the reconstruction done and it’s years before they get identified. When you’re working with just the bones, it’s really tough.”

Reeves said the case marks the third open case that the office is dealing where a 3D facial reconstruction has been made of a body that has not yet been identified.

There was a skeleton found in a stormwater grate in Lawrenceville in 2003, in which investigators believe drugs may have been a possible factor in the death because drug paraphernalia was found with the remains.

The other is a case where body parts of a victim were found at two different times in a three-year period, in a wooded area in Buford.

The dismembered, decom-

posing torso of a man was found in 2009 and the skeletal remains of the severed head, arms and legs were found in 2012.

“We’ve got a couple of other remains of unidentified folks that we have, but we’ve got three in particular that we’re really trying to get identified,” Reeves said.

For Lawson and Reeves, however, the hunt for identifying the man goes back to a desire to give the man’s family some closure.

Lawson said she thinks of her own mother, and what she would go through if the artist went missing for years, when she thinks about the case.

“He has a mother out there somewhere and regardless of whether he’s gotten in trouble and regardless he was a jerk or what not, or whether he was the perfect son, either way, he has a mother or family or someone out there who worries and wonders and wishes for his safe return,” she said.

Anyone who has information about the identity of the man can call Gwinnett police detectives at 770513-5300 or the medical examiner’s office at 678442-3160.

Fair

At the fair, there’s something for everyone, Thurman said, which he expects to be reflected in the final attendance numbers.

“It looks like — of course, it’ll still be a while after it’s over until we get final numbers — that it’s pretty much going to hit (our average of 225,000),” Thurman said. “Hopefully just a little bit better than that, but real close to the average.”

Thurman said while the fair is coming to an end, community events are still held at the fairgrounds nearly every weekend, with the fairgrounds play-

ing host to the Atlanta Koi Show next week and a reptile show the following weekend.

Still, Gwinnett residents and Thurman, agree: The county fair is the fairground’s most fun event of the year.

“Our No. 1 goal, of course, is to have everyone safe and having a good time,” Thurman said. “But when you see, whether it be a small child or an adult or an older person, smiling, you pretty much know you’ve done your job.”

world&nation World Captain arrested in Tanzania ferry disaster; death toll climbs to 209 The captain of an overloaded ferry that capsized on Lake Victoria has been arrested as Tanzania mourns more than 200 people killed in the latest maritime disaster in the East African nation.

Tanzanian President John Magufuli said the captain is in custody and ordered the arrest of all the other operators of the ferry, which capsized Thursday.

Magufuli told the nation in an address Friday that the captain left the ferry’s steering in the hands of a person not trained for the job, The Citizen newspaper reported.

The death toll rose to 209 on Saturday, government spokesman Hassan Abbas told CNN, but it’s expected to go up as more bodies are pulled out of the water.

Initial reports indicated that overloading contributed to the deadly disaster, but an investigation will determine the exact cause, the Tanzanian leader said.

There are reports the ferry had a capacity to carry 100 people, and it was carrying an estimated 400 instead.

Catholic bishops to return to China The Vatican and China have signed a provisional agreement to allow jointly-approved Catholic bishops in China for the first time, Vatican spokesman Greg Burke said in a recorded press statement Saturday.

It marks a significant step towards re-establishing diplomatic relations between the two countries. Ties were severed in 1951 after an alleged assassination plot against Chinese leaders involving a Catholic priest.

The agreement will allow the Holy See and the Chinese Patriotic Catholic Association to jointly approve the appointment of bishops in China. Until now, bishops appointed by either the Vatican or the Chinese Patriotic Catholic Association were not recognized by the other party.

McFarland recants Russia comments

By Veronica Stracqualursi and Marshall Cohen CNN

A former Trump official walked back her claim to the special counsel’s office that she and former national security adviser Michael Flynn did not discuss conversations between him and Russia’s ambassador about sanctions, according to a new report.

K.T. McFarland, who served as Flynn’s deputy on the National Security Council, changed what she initially told the FBI and eventually said that Flynn may have made a general reference to sanctions when they spoke in late December 2016, people familiar with the matter told The Washington Post.

Shortly after Flynn’s guilty plea in December 2017, McFarland was questioned by the FBI about her conversations with Flynn following his phone calls with then-Russian Ambassador to the U.S. Sergey Kislyak in the months before President Donald Trump took office, according to the newspaper.

She told investigators that Flynn might have been referencing sanctions when he made a general statement to her that things were going to be okay, the Post reported.

McFarland had previously denied she was aware of conversations between Flynn and Kislyak and that the two discussed sanctions.

McFarland and her lawyer were able to sway the FBI that it was not her intent to mislead the agency, sources told the Post.

Instead, McFarland said her original statement was from memory and without documents that could have refreshed her memory about her discussions with Flynn that centered on the Kislyak talks, according to the Post.

The Post said, however, that McFarland phoned the newspaper Jan. 13, 2017, insisted in an on-the-record conversation that Flynn and Kislyak had never discussed sanctions, and stressed that her memory of this was clear.

McFarland did not respond to the newspaper’s multiple requests for com-

ment.

In December 2016, after the Obama administration imposed sanctions on Russia to punish it for interfering in the election, McFarland emailed other Trump transition officials to plan their response, according to The New York Times. She reportedly said Flynn would be talking to the Russian diplomat and encouraged a de-escalation of the situation.

Flynn soon spoke to Kislyak and urged him not to retaliate, according to court filings. Flynn lied to the FBI about their talks and later pleaded guilty to making false statements. As part of his deal with prosecutors, Flynn agreed to cooperate with special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation.

Court documents charging Flynn state that he spoke to a senior transition team official about what to discuss with Kislyak after the Obama administration’s new Russia sanctions Dec. 29.

McFarland was not named in the court filings, but CNN confirmed she is the transition official who spoke to Flynn.

But she told senators in July 2017 that she didn’t recall talking to Flynn about his communications with Kislyak — which Democrats accused of being misleading or possibly even perjury.

McFarland was questioned on the matter during her confirmation process to be U.S. ambassador to Singapore, but her nomination was withdrawn in February.

PEOPLE Publix relaxing beard rules for employees A popular grocery chain will finally allow its employees to grow beards, albeit with strict standards.

According to a Publix memo circulating online, beginning Sept. 29, a new appearance standard goes into effect.

Facial hair will be allowed but must remain “neat, clean, and professional” looking. That includes defined cheek and necklines, and hair length no longer than 2 inches.

Beard guards must be worn by those in food prep areas.

Spokesman Dwayne Stevens said the company has been “testing” the facial hair change in different markets and the new standard will be applied companywide starting Saturday.

The Lakeland, Fla.based company previously only allowed conservativestyle mustaches.

Three years ago, an online petition to allow Publix employees to wear bears gathered over 20,000 signatures.

The 88-year-old food retailer has almost 1,200 stores in seven states and employs 190,000 workers.

McDonald’s pays pranksters $50,000 after they hang fake ad

They just wanted fries and to see some diversity on the posters at McDonald’s, but their prank made them $50,000 richer.

Jevh Maravilla, the college student who faked a promotional poster and hung it up at the fast-food restaurant in Pearland, Texas, along with his friend, Christian Toledo, were invited earlier this week to “The Ellen DeGeneres Show.”

And of course, Ellen being Ellen, she surprised them with a check for $25,000 each — courtesy of McDonald’s.

Inspired by the amount of Asian diversity in the film “Crazy Rich Asians,” the two friends spent a month and about $100 to create the poster.

“We wanted to be Crazy Middle Class (Asians),” Toledo told DeGeneres.

They became a social media sensation after Maravilla shared his mischievous antics with the world 51 days after he hung the poster, as he was surprised the local chain never bothered to remove it.

The money is part of an upcoming McDonald’s campaign in which both Maravilla and Toledo will be featured, DeGeneres said.

“McDonald’s loves customers like you. They are committed to diversity and want to represent all their customers, so they are going to use the two of you in a marketing campaign,” said DeGeneres.

“Since you’re in a campaign, they need to pay you, right? So you’re each getting a check for $25,000.”

The two friends couldn’t believe their eyes and kept asking DeGeneres whether it was true.

White House furniture finds restored life in the Blue Room

By Betsy Klein CNN

Two hundred years ago, President James Monroe purchased 53 pieces of gilded French furniture for what is now the White House Blue Room. The price tag of $18,417.17 briefly drew the ire of

Must read the legislative branch, according to the White House Historical Association.

“While some members of Congress and the American public questioned the presi-

dent’s spending of public funds, Monroe’s reputation as a national hero quieted most of these critics,” according to the association.

Monroe had previously served as a diplomat in France and had taken a shine to French décor.

This fall, that same suite of furniture is returning to the Blue

Room after a painstaking restoration that took more than 10 years, a team of curators and experts and nearly half a million dollars.

“It is my honor to announce the completion of the first phase of this important and historic project,” first lady Melania Trump said in a statement.

“Thank you to the many experts, curators and White House staff who helped repair the beautiful Bellange suite. I look forward to placing the restored pieces back in the Blue Room so people on the public tour of the White House will be able to enjoy them.”

Bunke, Swim Across America event raised upward of $700,000

By Will Hammock

will.hammock @gwinnettdailypost.com

BUFORD — As swimmer after swimmer emerged from the water at Lake Lanier, they were greeted with a high-five and a big smile from Julie Granger.

The Duluth graduate is one of the most-vocal ambassadors of Swim Across America and its Atlanta Open Water Swim, which drew more than 1,000 people, 600 swimmers and 20 Olympians to Lake Lanier Islands on Saturday morning. A cancer survivor herself, she and the others in attendance helped raise more than $700,000 for the Aflac Cancer and Blood Disorders Center at Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta.

Granger served as captain as the top fundraising team, Amazing Grace and Take That Benedict (Granger named her tumor Benedict), which hauled in an initial $153,867, a figure that kept climbing Saturday.

The team’s massive figure was fueled by the late Grace Bunke, who died after a long battle with osteosarcoma in March.

The SwimAtlanta athlete and Paralympics hopeful, just 14 when she passed, was the top

individual fundraiser with nearly $120,000.

“It’s completely humbling,” Granger said of the fundraising efforts. “It’s definitely unexpected. But at the same time, it’s not surprising because Grace Bunke was that kind of force of nature to inspire people to not just donate but support the cause from all over the country. We’re still getting $1,000 donations rolling in today. … It was Grace’s goal for herself to be the top national fundraiser and our team literally rode the wave with her. She hit $100,000, which was shocking.

Outside of Grace, we raised $40,000 to $50,000, way more than we’ve raised the last two years combined.”

Given her recent death and her fundraising efforts, Bunke was at the forefront of Saturday’s gathering. Her best friend, Dacula resident McClain Hermes, spoke to the crowd about Bunke and what the event means to her.

Hermes, also one of the special guests as a Paralympian, completed the open water swim alongside Olympian Katie Hoff.

The two were tethered together to keep Hermes, who is legally blind, from straying off course.

“It’s amazing to be a part of

No. 2 Georgia remained unbeaten with a 43-29 win at Missouri, but the Tigers certainly made the Bulldogs sweat.

After quarterback Drew Lock scored from 11 yards out to cut the lead to 4029 with just under 11 minutes to play in the fourth quarter, Missouri (3-1, 0-1) got a chance to draw closer as the Tigers blocked a 36-yard field goal attempt by Rodrigo Blankenship with 6:08 to play.

Georgia (4-0, 2-0) was able to thwart the comeback attempt with a fourthdown stop and added a 40-yard Blankenship field goal with 1:41 left for the final margin.

Jake Fromm led the Bulldogs by completing 13 of 23 passes for 260 yards and three touchdowns, including TD tosses of 61 yards to Jeremiah Holloman, 54 to Mecole Hardman and 33 to Riley Ridley. The Ridley score put Georgia on top 27-7 with 11:39 left in the third quarter.

But Lock, who completed 23 of 44 passes for the Tigers (3-1, 0-1) for 221 yards, led three second-half scoring drives, the last of which was the 11-yard TD run by the Tigers’ quarterback.

Missouri had Georgia’s number the first half, but thanks to a trio of big mistakes found itself down 20-7.

The first one error cost the Tigers six points. Freshman cornerback Tyson Campbell stripped tight end Albert Okwuegbunam and returned the ball 64 yards for the game’s opening score.

Missouri tied the game on a 7-yard run by Larry Roundtree, before more mistakes resulted in points for Georgia.

Linebacker Tae Crowder picked off Lock on a tipped pass to set up one of two first half field goals by Blankenship,

this event and swim to hopefully find a cure for childhood cancer since I lost my best friend to childhood cancer in March of 2018,” Hermes said.

“So it really means a lot that I could come out here and swim and do what I love to help raise money to fight something that’s taking away people’s children, best friends, sisters and brothers. … To me, the (fundraising total) is amazing. Our original goal was $500,000. To surpass that is totally and completely amazing because every little bit helps. Everything we can put toward finding a cure is great.”

PREP FOOTBALL ROUNDUP

Peevy, Archer top Buford 48-24 From staff reports

LAWRENCEVILLE — Carter Peevy’s versatility sparked a big second half by Archer, ranked fifth in Class AAAAAAA, in a 48-24 victory over Buford, No. 2 in AAAAA. The Tigers outscored the visitors 35-7 in the second half, getting two touchdown passes and two scoring runs from their quarterback to erase a four-point halftime deficit.

His running drew the most reaction from his teammates, especially a 54-yard TD run in the third quarter that gave Archer (4-1) the lead for good.

Peevy rushed for a teamhigh 102 yards on four attempts, going for 21, 11 and 16 yards on his other carries.

Three were scrambles and one was a keeper.

Parkview 37, Milton 35 LILBURN — With 3:12 left to play against Milton on Friday night, the Parkview Panthers seemed to have their fourth win of the season on ice.

Even after Eagles star quarterback Jordan Yates cut a 37-13 Parkview lead down to 37-29, a muffed punt gave the Panthers the ball on the Milton 1-yard line.

All they had to do was punch it in.

But after three straight stops by the Milton defense, Parkview was forced to attempt an 18yard field goal.

Then chaos ensued.

The Panthers’ holder could not corral the snap and was stripped of the ball. Milton senior Syaire Waters picked up the fumble and took it 84 yards for a touchdown to make it 37-35.

Just minutes before, the Panthers were ready to celebrate.

But the game would come down to the defense’s ability to stop Yates one last time on a 2-point conversion attempt.

The Georgia Tech commit lobbed a jump ball to the back left corner of the end zone that was batted down by Parkview sophomore Ronnie Hamrick.

The Panthers recovered the onside kick and ran out the remaining 1:38 to hold on for a 37-35 victory, and to improve to 4-0 on the year.

Jordan Williams threw for 230 yards and two touchdowns, while Cody Brown ran for 122 yards and 3 TDs and Malik Washington (133) and C.J. Daniels (86) led the Panthers’ receivers.

North Gwinnett 41, Discovery 6 SUWANEE — North Gwinnett kicked off its Region 6-AAAAAAA schedule Friday night against Discovery, storming to an early lead and never looking back en route to a 41-6 homecoming win.

The early nonregion schedule for the sixth-ranked Bulldogs (3-2, 1-0) had posed a challenge with two teams nationally ranked in the top 100 and accounted for both on North’s losses.

The experience gained in those tough games paid dividends Friday as North executed better than it had in previous weeks and outgained the Titans (1-4, 0-1) in total yardage 398122.

The passing game behind quarterback J.R. Martin was especially effective in the first half, hitting on seven of eight passes for 180 yards and one score.

Three of those completions went to Josh Downs, who hauled in three passes before the half for 97 yards, including a 45-yard reception on the game’s first play and a 16-yard TD

Quincy Bonner was 9 of 11 for 350 yards passing and five touchdowns in the game. In doing so, he threw TD passes to three different receivers.

Demarcus Jones and O.J. Edmonds were on the receiving end of two of those TD passes, while Javion Johnson added another score on the ground.

The Mustangs’ (5-0, 1-0 in Region 7-AAAAAAA play) defense also contributed with a safety

by Kelvin Ford and a fumble return for a score by Keyshawn Sanders.

Shiloh 26, Lithonia 14 AVONDALE ESTATES — Thanks to opportunistic special teams play and a surprise turnover in the second half, the Shiloh football team put an end to a losing streak on Friday.

The Generals recovered a punt deep in Lithonia territory, which led to the eventual gamewinning points, and a late interception sealed a 26-14 victory in non-region play at Avondale Stadium.

The game was tied at 14-14 when a Shiloh punt hit Lithonia’s Dvont’e Slaton in the leg, and Kai Maddox recovered at the 18.

Following a 22-yard pass from Jordan Goodyear to Antonio Meeks, Ras Johnson scored from a yard out and the Generals (2-3) led for good at 20-14.

Lithonia (3-2) was pinned inside its own 10 after the ensuing kick off and things didn’t improve. On third-and-eight, Seoul Newton was intercepted by lineman Terrence Page, who scampered 4 yards for the touchdown with just over six minutes to play.

Hebron Christian 49, Athens Christian 10 DACULA — After dropping its opening Region 8-A game and a bye week, Hebron Christian came into Friday’s home game itching to get back on the winning track.

The Lions would roar in 28-point second quarter as it easily dispatched of Athens Christian 49-10 on Friday Winston Gassant paced the offense with 66 rushing yards and two scores, Jeffrey Saturday led the receivers with 63 receiving yards on two catches.

Hebron’s defense dominated all night collecting five sacks and yielding the only TD of the night after the outcome has already been decided.

South Gwinnett 19, Heritage-Conyers 13, OT SNELLVILLE — After suffering from its own mistakes throughout its game with Heritage, South Gwinnett finally forced a few from its opponent at the right time.

The Comets used four turnovers, including a fumble in overtime, for a 19-13 homecoming win Friday night at Richard

Kameron King also caught an 11-yard TD pass from Skylar Adams for Central (1-4, 0-1) in the final minutes.

Williams finished 11-for-17 for 223 yards and two scores to lead Norcross. Sutton led Blue Devils receivers with four catches for 111 yards and a touchdown.

Justin Fomby was 25-for-38 for 206 yards and one touchdown for the Black Knights.

Reynolds had seven catches for 95 yards.

Mill Creek 33, Duluth 6 DULUTH — Mill Creek’s running back Chancellor LeeParker finished with 212 rushing yards and accounted for two touchdowns, fueling a 33-6 victory Friday over the Duluth Wildcats in the teams’ Region 6-AAAAAAA football opener.

It was an emotional night for the Hawks without their head coach Shannon Jarvis, who was sidelined because chest pains earlier in the day sent him to the hospital.

“I know he wanted to be here, but he was so ill to the point where he couldn’t,” said Mill Creek assistant head coach and offensive line coach Josh Lovelady, who filled in for Jarvis as head coach. “I’ll go see him tonight and see what’s going on.”

In addition to Lee-Parker’s big night, Parker Wroble added five catches for 108 yds and two TDs. Lovelady was very pleased with his team on both sides of the ball.

Dacula 41, Rockdale Co. 0 CONYERS — Dacula running back Trenton Jones started the second half just like he started the first half — with a 50-plus yard run to set the Falcons up with a fresh set of downs inside the red zone.

Jones was just one of several key contributors in what turned out to be a game highlighted by explosive plays for the Dacula.

Behind 435 yards of total offense, the Falcons cruised to a 41-0 win over Rockdale County, which managed just seven first downs and 106 total yards.

Jones finished with 145 yards rushing on nine carries and one TD for Dacula (3-2), while quarterback Jarrett Jenkins completed 5 of 12 for 138 yards, two TDs and two interceptions.

Wesleyan 24, Holy Innocents’ 16 ATLANTA – Wesleyan broke out to a 24-0 halftime lead and held on for a 24-16 road win over Holy Innocents’ in Region 5-A Friday night.

“It was a big region win,” Wolves coach Franklin Pridgen said. “The team did a good job of coming out ready to play.”

Trent Bartlett led the defensive effort with three interceptions off the Golden Bears. Luke Carroll

Sandwiched between bye weeks, the Broncos starters looked sharp in their brief appearance against Berkmar, rolling past the Patriots 49-0.

Brookwood (4-1, 1-0 Region 7-AAAAAAA) was consistent from the start Friday. On their opening drive, the Broncos starters put up their longest drive, going 75 yards in seven plays, capped off by a 19-yard touchdown run by Chris Carter.

It was the first of seven straight first-half touchdown drives.

Carter added a second touchdown run of 24 yards to finish his night with 77 yards rushing on seven carries. Eli Kohl scored three times in the first half on runs of 28, 20 and 59 yards for 137 total yards on five carries. Quarterback Conner Chavis got into the action as well, completing 5 of 8 passes for 112 yards and two touchdowns. His consecutive scoring throws went to MeKal Fuller for 18 yards and then to Bobby Ezzard for 47 yards.

Mountain View 26, Peachtree Ridge 3 SUWANEE — Davian Criss rushed for 133 yards and three touchdowns to lead Mountain View to a 26-3 win over Peachtree Ridge on Friday.

After losing the season opener, Mountain View has won four in a row, including the Region 6-AAAAAAA opener Friday.

The Bears (4-1, 1-0) will face a big challenge next week when it hosts defending state champion North Gwinnett.

Mountain View got a stellar performance out if its defense, with sacks from Harrison Spikes and Savion Fernandez, a fumble recovery and interception from Connor Wright, an interception from Enyinna Nwagbara, and a blocked punt

by Sean Griffin.

Colquitt Co. 24, Grayson 16 LOGANVILLE — The Grayson offense needed big plays in order top Class AAAAAAA’s No. 1-ranked Colquitt County football team, or at least to convert third and fourth downs into long, sustained drives.

In the first half, the Rams conjured a few key plays, mainly a 36-yard TD pass to Zach Bush from J’Kori Jones to open the scoring in the first quarter, then a long TD run from running back Phil Mafah to give Grayson a 14-3 lead in the second quarter.

In the second half, the Packers shut out the Rams. Grayson (3-2) was smothered in the second half for the second consecutive week.

The Packers (6-0) were held to fewer than 41 points for the first time in six games to begin the season, but 26-14 was enough to leave Grayson with a win.

Braves clinch NL East division Kerpics First divisional crown for Atlanta since 2013 K’s 19 for Wesleyan PREP ROUNDUP

Field Level Media

Atlanta starter Mike Foltynewicz opened the game with six no-hit innings and the Braves survived a late Philadelphia comeback for a 5-3 win, clinching the National League East title and sending them back to the playoffs for the first time since 2013.

Foltynewicz (12-10) did not allow a hit until Odubel Hererra led off the seventh with a hit. The right-hander worked 7 1/3 innings and allowed two runs on two hits and three walks. He struck out five.

Arodys Vizcaino pitched a perfect ninth inning earn his 16th save. It was his first save since missing 55 games with right shoulder inflammation and being activated from the disabled list on Aug. 14. His last save came June 17 against the Mets.

The Atlanta offense was led by center fielder Ender Inciarte, who went 2-for-3 and scored

three runs. Freddie Freeman and Johan Camargo each drove in two runs.

The Braves knocked out Philadelphia starter Jake Arrieta (10-10) after two innings, the shortest start in his career.

Arrieta allowed four runs on four hits and three walks. He

struck out two.

It was quite a reversal for Arrieta, who had been 4-0 with a 0.68 ERA in his last four starts against Atlanta. He did not allow a run in three of those four outings.

Atlanta got a pair of runs in the first inning when Camargo

slapped a two-run single to left field, driving home Ronald Acuna Jr. and Inciarte.

The Braves made it 4-0 with two runs in the second. Freeman singled to center to drive in Acuna and Inciarte.

The Phillies scored three runs in the eighth. Maikel Franco singled with one out and Asdrubel Cabrera walked, which signaled the end of the day for Foltynewicz. Reliever Jesse Biddle walked Jose Bautista and gave up a two-run single to Cesar Hernandez.

Brad Brach entered and allowed a one-handed RBI single to Rhys Hoskins.

Jonny Venters retired pinchhitter Aaron Altherr on a fly to left, which required a nice running catch by Acuna, and got Carlos Santana on a grounder to short.

The Braves got an insurance run in the eighth when Kurt Suzuki dropped a single into left field, scoring Inciarte, against Seranthony Dominguez.

Swim

•From Page 10A a special place in my heart.

Each year, just like every Swim Across America I go to, it just gets more and more hopeful and colorful. It’s an honor to be here.”

Hermes mingled with the Olympians on stage in front of the hundreds on the beach.

“I adore (Hermes),” Franklin said. “I’ve been enjoying getting to know her so much on this trip. She is so intelligent, so bright. She’s an unbelievable public speaker. And all of this on top of all of the accomplishments she has in the pool. She’s been through so much. To have her here and be so open to talk about what she’s been through, losing her best friend, to talk about Grace and to help Grace leave the legacy she wanted to leave. I’m proud of everything

she’s doing and I know Grace would be proud of her, too.”

The Atlanta stop is one of 18 Swim Across America open water swims this year — two more are on the way, Sept. 29 in Charlotte, N.C., and Oct. 6 in Richmond, Va. — but is one of its most popular.

“They call this one the Super Bowl at Swim Across America,” said Granger, who was diagnosed with inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor in her lung in 2015. “It’s definitely huge. I think it’s a testament to the swimming community in Georgia and Gwinnett. So many teams have gotten involved this year, the University of Georgia and Emory (University) joining in. They’re serving as angel swimmers with some of our less experienced swimmers, which is amazing mentoring.

We have one of the best fields

of Olympians here, that brings a lot of allure. And it’s such a wonderful venue here at Lake Lanier. They’re so accommodating and family friendly.”

Lake Lanier also will host Swim Across America’s Atlanta open water swim in 2019, it was announced Saturday.

Organizers said the venue sets up perfectly out of the water, as well as the lake courses, which host a 5K, one-mile, half-mile and Duck Splash (for young children) races.

Local swim clubs, including Gwinnett-based SwimAtlanta, contributed numerous athletes and fundraising dollars to Swim Across America. The event already was important to SwimAtlanta, and that only grew with their love of Bunke.

SwimAtlanta finished second in the team fundraising standings, behind only the team led

by Bunke and Granger, with nearly $90,000.

“It’s just such a great event in our backyard,” said SwimAtlanta coach Scot Davis, who was the third-highest individual fundraiser at more than $13,000.

“It’s a great way to raise awareness and raise money to help fight pediatric cancer. It’s something we really want to get behind and we really want to support. It’s so close and it’s something we do. We have such a large base of kids. I think it’s just a positive experience for everybody.

“Grace was awesome. If you look around here, you can see Grace’s spirit through everybody, her energy, her drive.

Never once did she complain.

Never once did you hear her feel sorry for herself or get down on herself. She looked at life through a positive lens.”

week against one of GISA’s perennially competitive teams, Deerfield-Windsor from Albany.

Even in GISA, Notre Dame Academy is undersized in terms of team numbers. The roster is comprised of 20 varsity players, meaning most of the team plays both ways.

“Just now, we’re basically in our groove as far as the kids’ bodies are used to playing more snaps than the teams we’re playing against,” Booth said. “It does make it tough when (opponents) have 35 to 50 kids, but it’s all part of the process.”

Notre Dame Academy football’s numbers fell slightly from 24 to 20 players from Year 2 to Year 3. But Booth said his players are familiar with the weekly routine and match up better with the talent the opponents they face. Approximately half of the regular starters on Notre Dame Academy’s roster have been a part of the football program since they were eighth graders.

Notre Dame Academy football might be in for a rough varsity inauguration, but moving from GISA to GHSA would be a welcome prospect for travel

purposes alone. There are 17 football teams in GISA AAA. Notre Dame’s region is made up of the four most-proximate teams in relation to metro Atlanta.

The school can save time and money by playing in one of GHSA’s Class A regions. There are more than 80 football teams in GHSA’s lowest classification, making for a denser league map.

“All of these private schools are right around us, but now we’re in a situation where we have to drive five hours to Valdosta to play the No. 1 team in the state,” Booth said. “The biggest advantage would just be travel and familiarity. If we’re (Class A-Private), they’re familiar with these schools and know the players.”

The learning curve in sports such as football may be steep, but the facilities and community support are present for Notre Dame Academy. Spencer said confident the numbers will follow suit in the imminent future.

“We’re experiencing success to the point that we could — for lack of a better term — bite off more than we can chew,” he said. “We’re having success at the levels that we’re at.”

Hyatt •From Page 10A their 49-21 victory over Georgia Tech before 50,595 fans Saturday at Bobby Dodd Stadium.

It’s a trend that has continued from the first day he stepped on to Clemson’s campus in the fall of 2015.

Having earned All-ACC honors from his freshman year, including being named first-team Freshman All-American in 2015, and earning a spot on the All-ACC teams his first three seasons, the 6-foot5, 310-pound senior has played a major role in the best era of the Tigers’ program since his uncle’s day.

Being a part of Clemson’s run of three straight trips to the College Football Playoff, including its first national title since the one in 1981 is something he expects to be able to look back on with fondness and pride, though not right now.

“I don’t think (the enormity of the team’s success) will … hit me until I’m gone,” Hyatt said. “Right now, I’m just trying to enjoy the moment. There’s just so much left to accomplish.”

In addition to the team’s success, Hyatt has had the honor of protecting what may be the greatest quarterback in Tigers history in Deshaun Watson, as well as perhaps the next great signal caller in Trevor Lawrence, from his left tackle position.

He definitely had an impact in Saturday’s game, protecting Lawrence’s blind side as the true freshman dissected the Tech secondary for 13-of-18 passing for 176 yards and four touchdowns in what could be his ascension into the starting job full-time.

“Yeah, it’s fun to watch all these guys come in and see how they develop,” Hyatt said. “Like my first (year), watching Deshaun, it was fun to see how great of a player and good of a guy he is. It’s been fun to see guys who I’ve been around since my freshman and sophomore years go to the next level and see how well they do. So it’s going to be a lot of fun to watch Trevor this upcoming year, and (graduate) Kelly (Bryant), too.”

PAGE 13 A • SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 23, 2018

Evidence is needed with a reputation in the balance WASHINGTON — Christine Blasey Ford has accused Brett M. Kavanaugh of attempted rape while they were both in high school — a charge he unequivocally denies. She can’t remember the date the alleged attack took place.

She isn’t even certain about the year (although she reportedly thinks it may have been the summer around the end of her sophomore year when she was 15). She can’t remember whose house she was in. She can’t remember how Marc she got there. She says Thiessen she didn’t tell anyone about it at the time, not even her closest friends — so there are no contemporaneous witnesses to back her claims.

No other women have come forward to say that the young Kavanaugh assaulted them.

There is no pattern of bad behavior. Quite the contrary, by all accounts other than Ford’s, he treats women with respect in his personal and professional life. (Full disclosure: I worked with Kavanaugh in the George W. Bush White House.) The gathering included just Ford and four others, according to her confidential letter to Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif. One man named by Ford as a witness has come forward and not only denied knowledge of the assault but also denied knowledge of the gathering in question. Another, who said he was the “PJ” mentioned in the letter, Patrick J. Smyth, has also denied being at a gathering like the one Ford described.

Ford deserves to be treated with dignity, not maligned or attacked. But let’s not forget that Kavanaugh is human, too. This ordeal affects not only him but also his family, including his two young daughters, who are hearing awful things said about the father they love.

He cannot prove a negative. So far, there are accusations but no corroborating evidence.

And accusations without evidence cannot be the standard by which a man’s reputation and career are ruined.

Both Kavanaugh and Ford have been illserved by Senate Democrats in this process.

Feinstein, the Judiciary Committee’s ranking Democrat, knew about Ford’s accusation for about six weeks and did nothing. She never asked Kavanaugh about the allegations in private or in public. She did not use the confidential, bipartisan process that the Judiciary Committee uses every day to assess the credibility of allegations against hundreds of judicial nominees — which would have given Ford the chance to talk to the committee’s professional investigators in a confidential setting.

Bizarrely, to this day Feinstein has not shared a copy of Ford’s unredacted letter with Judiciary Committee Chairman Charles E. Grassley, RIowa. But Democrats appear not to have been too scrupulous when it came to protecting her confidentiality.

Ford has also been ill-served by her lawyers, who initially stated that Ford “will agree to participate in any proceedings that she’s asked to participate in.” Then, when Grassley canceled the vote on Kavanaugh’s nomination and scheduled a hearing where she could testify in public or private, her lawyers started echoing Senate Democrats’ new message that a full FBI investigation was needed before she would speak to the committee — undermining the perception of Ford’s independence. (At this writing, she has reversed course yet again, with her lawyer now saying she might be willing to testify next week).

It’s not the FBI’s job to investigate. There is no federal crime alleged. As Grassley explained in a letter, “We have no power to commandeer an executive branch agency into conducting our due diligence.” Senate Democrats know this.

They have turned down Grassley’s offer to participate in interviews of Kavanaugh, Ford and other alleged witnesses. They are using Ford to demand an FBI investigation in the hope they can use it to delay Kavanaugh’s confirmation until after Election Day — when Democrats hope to take back the Senate and block him from joining the Supreme Court.

The #MeToo movement is a force for good in society. It has removed sexual predators from the workplace in politics, media, entertainment, religion and elsewhere. It has encouraged women and men who have been abused to speak up — and others to support their allegations. But allegations alone are not enough. There must be evidence. With the evidence available right now, there is no chance Kavanaugh would be convicted in a court of law. Indeed, no reasonable prosecutor would agree to bring a case.

But in the court of public opinion, the standards of evidence seem to be much lower. This much is certain: The standard of evidence to ruin a man’s reputation cannot be zero.

I miss when service was at your door I miss deliveries.

Oh, I know that Amazon will have anything from a putter to a ballpeen hammer to your front door in about three hours — unless it’s Christmas and you really need it — and I know that if you live in certain cities something called Uber Eats will bring food from your favorite restaurant and online services will have do-it-yourself-supper kits in dry ice on your doorstep when you get home from work. Those aren’t the kinds of deliveries I’m talking about.

When I was a kid, growing up in Porterdale, a lot of people didn’t have cars and businesses took that into consideration.

You didn’t have to come to them. They would come to you.

We had a milkman in Porterdale, for instance. Once a week he would arrive early in the morning, while all of us, even my daddy, who was an early riser, were still asleep, and leave our standing order of a half-gallon of sweet milk and a quart of buttermilk and a pint of cream, right there on the front steps. The milk came in delightful glass bottles — not wax cartons — and every week we would leave the empties on the front porch for him.

One time we got a new milk-

And the “specials” came out, and the new milkman left it on the bought groceries and brought steps, but by the time we found them home in the boot of it, the whole thing had melted. his Buick. Heaven help you I got a whipping and my daddy if you’d left anything on the had a stern talk with the milkcounter or the table top when man and we never had an order Homer Huckaby was trying to form attached to our milk bottle bring in the groceries! again.

Jake Hunt would day dresses or a pair of dress come by to collect for any

furniture we might have bought from him, or for any linoleum he might have laid on the kitchen floor, and, for a while, even the dry cleaning guy came by. Eventually they added a little envelope and you pre-paid for your clothes when you left them in the chair, which made a lot more sense to me.

My mama made sure that she had cash on hand to pay everybody she owed, and she would talk bad about people who would leave the house on Saturday morning and stay gone until all the bill collectors had come and gone or, worse still, just close all the doors and pretend they weren’t at home.

The only think that gets delivered to my house nowadays is the newspaper, and I look forward to that. I get up at the crack of dawn and walk up our long driveway and pick it up.

On the way back to the house I scan the obituaries to see if my name is listed. If it’s not, I pour myself a cup of coffee and read the paper.

I hope I get to keep doing that for a long, long time. And I hope I get to keep delivering you a few grins along the way.

Happy fall, y’all.

A brief treatise on the art of being a Southerner Occasionally, I will drop in a comma where it doesn’t belong or fail to associate phrase modifiers with the nearest preceding noun and other stuff like that to see if you are paying attention. Trust me, I do this on purpose. I happen to be an expert on the subject (or is it predicate? I can’t remember which) of the proper use of the English language.

Many of you are quick to point out my (wink, wink) errors. This is my way of ensuring you are reading the column without the cost of doing a survey. There are also the calls to the editors wanting to know why they publish such unsophisticated drivel on their editorial pages, but I tend not to count those. I just hope the editors don’t, either.

I recently heard from a reader who asked whether I had meant to use a possessive as opposed to a contractive word in one of my columns.

That was an excellent question and one that I plan to answer as soon as I have found a place to put my dangling modifier.

In his note, he indicated that he was a recent Northern transplant who was “having some trouble adjusting to Southern mores, values and habits.” He has obviously done some adjusting because he said

I told my new reader friend If you hear someone say that I would be happy to help “Bless his or her heart,” that him understand how we do is about as ugly as we get, but things here and perhaps he can, we aren’t misunderstood. (“If in turn, help other Northern brains were dynamite, that poor transplants as they arrive. girl couldn’t blow her nose,

As for Southern cuisine, most everything we eat comes from a hog or chicken and is fried in grease. The only exceptions are pecan pie and sweet tea. And we don’t drink sodas in the South. We drink Ko-kolers. It is not only permissible but encouraged that you put a handful of peanuts in the beverage for a rare taste treat.

In the South, we worship God and football in that order, with the exception of the fall when the order is likely to be reversed. To many, heaven is considered to be Sanford Stadium in Athens, Georgia, on a crisp, sunny Saturday afternoon and “Glory, Glory to Ole Georgia,” a hymn of praise and thanksgiving.

I hope my new friend finds this helpful. Please know that Southern hospitality is real and you are welcomed. However, if there are those Northern transplants among you who don’t like how we do things here in the South and are just going to make fun of us, y’all don’t let the door hit you in the fanny on your way out, bless your heart.

MOTUL PETIT LE MANS

F

OCTOBER 10-13

or the past 20 years, Motul Petit Le Mans has been THE sporting event in the southeast to experience. With four days’ worth of ontrack battles, culminating in the 10-hour IMSA WeatherTech Championship finale showdown on Saturday, October 13th, the action is nonstop. Once you add in the heated manufacturer and team rivalries, kid’s zone, vendors, food trucks, displays, car corrals, camping, Patrón bar, grid walk, autograph sessions and so much more, this event has it all, and at family-friendly prices, too!

The Daytona Prototype internationals (DPi) debuted last year to much fanfare and acclaim, with a slew of new auto manufacturers and teams joining the ranks to put their machines to the ultimate test. This year, all three classes of competition will battle for the top spot on the podium and the overall season-long championship after 10 hours of grueling, wheel-towheel racing. The technology on board these race cars is jaw-dropping and seeing it in action is a thrill like no other.

The access for fans at Motul Petit Le Mans is unparalleled, as any ticketholder can step right up to their favorite team and driver for an autograph during the autograph session or can catch them at any point during race week in the open paddock. The pre-race grid also opens on both Friday and Saturday for all fans to wish their favorite drivers good luck before they take the green flag.

W E AT H E R T E C H

PROTOTYPE (P): This class features the fastest and most technologically advanced cars in North America. They are specifically designed and engineered for the race track and look drastically different than a typical street car. These cars follow either the Daytona Prototype international (DPi) model or the classic LM P2 model.

Factory-supported teams from the likes of Corvette, Acura, Porsche, Mazda, Ford, Ferrari, Cadillac and more will duke it out for 10 hours on the 2.54-mile circuit at Road Atlanta, crowning a season-long champion.

21st ANNUAL OCTOBER 10-13, 2018

The newly-paved Fan Zone is a great place to retreat to and grab a bite to eat, a cold drink or a souvenir to take home. With interactive displays, entertainment and memorabilia also available to browse, the Fan Zone is just another reason why Motul Petit Le Mans offers something for everyone.

Families can also check out the Kid’s Zone out on Spectator Hill, which is one of the greatest vistas around the circuit. Parents can let their kids loose on inflatables and relax with the picturesque Road Atlanta esses framing one of the most well-known series of curves in all of racing. Best of all, children 12 and under enter the event for free with a paid adult.

The 21st Annual Motul Petit Le Mans truly offers something for everyone, from the die-hard IMSA fan to the casual spectator who just wants to have a good time with friends. The amount of things to see and do are endless, and the on-track action at Motul Petit Le Mans is sure to keep you on the edge of your seat!

C H A M P I O N S H I P

C L A S S

GT LE MANS (GTLM): The GT Le Mans (GTLM) cars are the most elite and fastest GT cars on the track. They are based on production models and are engineered to extract the maximum performance possible. The class serves as a true proving ground for leading manufacturers such as BMW, Corvette, Ferrari, Ford, and Porsche.

B R E A K D O W N

GT DAYTONA (GTD): The GT Daytona cars are enhanced technology.

They are also based on production model cars but do not feature the same level of aerodynamics and power as the GTLM class cars. The GTD class consists FIA GT3-spec cars and is the only Pro-Am class in the WeatherTech Championship.

RACING ACTION ALL WEEK LONG AT MOTUL PETIT LE MANS

Motul Petit Le Mans event week is more than just the 10-hour endurance classic that is Motul Petit Le Mans. In addition to this world-famous race, fans at Motul Petit Le Mans can experience the FOX Factory 120, IMSA Prototype Challenge presented by Mazda and the Porsche GT3 Cup Challenge USA by Yokohama, all three of which will also be competing during the Motul Petit Le Mans weekend. These series all bring a different kind of racing to the mix, so fans can cheer on the competition all four days!

Social-emotional skills are important for children — and adults — of any age.

Beginning this weekend, though, the Children’s Museum of Atlanta is targeting kids up to 6 years old as part of a new exhibit that focuses on community, communication and emotion.

“Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood,” a PBS spinoff of the beloved “Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood,” opened at the children’s museum in exhibit form on Saturday, and will run through Jan. 6.

The exhibit, which is making its way to children’s museums across the country, allows children to explore Daniel Tiger’s world through “immersive experiences,” such as an imagination stage, a clock-making factory, a music workshop and more.

“Kids in this age range are concrete learners, so seeing and interacting with (an exhibit) is ideal for them,” said Karen Kelly, Children’s Museum of Atlanta exhibits director.

“They’ll say, ‘Look, there’s Daniel Tiger’s trolley’ and be able to interact with it, or they’ll be able to pretend to drive around in a car or make a clock.

All that stuff is so important for kids in this age range, so (the exhibit) is a really great opportunity.”

Daniel Tiger, who, before having his own show, was a character on “Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood,” encourages children to identify and express their emotions, which, at its heart, is also what the exhibit is designed to do, Kelly said.

“The (exhibit) is all about socialemotional learning, and though roleplay, children will be able to learn how to express themselves,” she said.

“One of the things Mister Rogers was about was being a good neighbor, so with the exhibit’s outreach activities, children will be able to learn how to do that through thinking about and identifying their emotions.”

Being able to identify emotions is

key, Kelly said.

“It’s so hard for kids of that age because they go through so many emotions but they don’t know what to call them,” Kelly said. “They go through a ton of transitions and it’s frustrating when they can’t express what’s wrong, so to adults, it may look like it’s acting out, when in fact, they want to but can’t quite (vocalize) what’s going on.

“Being able to verbalize that emotion as opposed to just yelling or stamping their feet is so helpful to both parents and the child because the adult then has a better understanding of how to help and the kid also feels better when he or she can verbalize what exactly they’re feeling.”

The exhibit also helps teach children how to properly act on their emotions, which at that age, is also “very important,” Kelly said.

“A lot of research shows that what children learn in the 0 to 6 age range really sticks with them,” she said. “For example, I made sure my children ate healthy when they were little. While now, as teenagers, all they may want are Coca-Cola products, research shows they will likely go back to the (healthy choice) as adults because they were taught healthy eating when they were little.

So learning how to do that (with emotions) is very important.”

With features such as the imagination stage or the thank-you tree — a tree where kids can write or draw a thank-you note and share it — the exhibit caters to just that, Kelly said.

In addition to the exhibit, the children’s museum offers daily programs that will be Daniel Tiger-centric, such as a special mini musical that includes catchy songs that are intended to stick with children even after the show is over, decoration of an imagination mirror in the museum’s art studio and exploration of the habitats of real tigers at the science bar.

FALL EVENTS

From frights to folksongs

Aurora Theatre packs in the programming this fall

BY ISABEL HUGHES

isabel.hughes @gwinnettdailypost.com

There’s always something happening at the Aurora Theatre, and this fall is no different.

“We’ve got a big, big fall this year,” said Aurora Director of Sales and Marketing Al Stilo. “Our ghost tours have sort of exploded, but we’re doing something different this year where we’re working to create a Spanish-language ghost tour, too.”

While the ghost tours are always hits — tours began Friday — they are only one of many programs the Lawrenceville theater is offering.

“We’re partnering for the second year with Georgia Gwinnett College in producing the Festival del Dia de Los Muertos, where we work with their Latino student organization,” Stilo said. “We’ll have dinner food, performers, an alter, and the whole thing will culminate with a showing of Disney’s ‘Coco,’ all of which will be free and open to the community. Another big event is our Sunday Supper, which will be held Sept.

30.”

The supper, which Stilo said “incorporates a lot of Gwinnett’s favorite things,” will be held this year at Slow Pour Brewing Company, last year having been held on the roof of Aurora’s parking deck.

The event is just what it sounds like — a community dinner one Sunday night in September, filled with food, drinks and live entertainment.

Last year’s inaugural event began when “Lo-

cal Republic staff came over with a bucket of fried chicken and and sat down with a couple of our staff and said, ‘Look, I have an idea,’” was “phenomenal,” Stilo said, which he again expects.

“There are a lot of underthe-radar things that happen during the fall,” Stilo said.

“Some of those are our (children’s programming); every year, we bus in school groups and we average about 15,000 school groups annually. Our programs

this year are especially important because (Gwinnett County Public Schools) buses are understaffed, so there’s a tight radius where they can take field trips.

With us being centrally located, it provides a great option for a really impactful school field trip.”

For the children, Aurora is again offering its Children’s Playhouse — events targeted especially for families.

Those performances include Folksongs for the Family, “Junie B. Jones Is Not a Crook,” a Halloween magic show, Cirque Noel, Beat Bugs and much more.

Though Aurora is a family-friendly venue, the theater also offers adultonly programming, which includes Aurora’s comedy nights — Stilo said kids shouldn’t come, unless they “like hearing the f-word SEP 18.pdf dropped a KIDSVILLE lot” — Brews and Boos, ghost story and

cocktail nights; “The Two Kids That Blow Sh*t Up,” a comedic play about two children who meet the day their parents start having an affair; and other adultcentered events.

This year, Aurora will again offer Reindeer Games, an off-site opportunity for residents or companies to book a group of performers to come to their homes or businesses and perform.

“One of the things we don’t love as artists is when we’re booked and we become just kind of background music at parties,” Stilo said. “When we (came up) with Reindeer Games, we felt like, ‘There’s got to be a way for us to create something that’s appropriate for parties and business events that’s a combination of music and improvisation but that engages people.’

“Reindeer Games is a 1group 8/10/18 10:27 AM who of performers come in and do an interac-

tive event of music and comedy that includes audience participation. It’s one of those really great, underthe-radar things (Aurora) does.”

Stilo said with all the unique Aurora events happening, the theater’s Signature Series can’t be forgotten.

This year’s plays include “Be Here Now,” “A Doll’s House, Part 2,” “Men with Money” and more.

“The fall and the winter are the busiest for Aurora Theatre,” Stilo said. “The lion’s share of our programming happens from Sept. 1 to Jan 1. We’re just thrilled at the amount of programming and the diversity of programming we have, and it’s just a very uplifting time of year for us as artists and producers.”

FURRY FRIENDS

BY TREVOR MCNABOE trevor.mcnaboe @gwinnettdailypost.com

563616-1

“Sesame Street Live!” is encouraging show participants to find their magic in the upcoming production “Sesame Street Live! Find Your Magic.”

The new production is structured around “Sesame Street” main character Elmo and his desire to learn magic.

According to performer Liz Sanford, Elmo embarks on an extraordinary journey in which he learns that it’s OK to make mistakes and that magic can be found anywhere when you believe in yourself and the power of what’s yet to be.

“The main thing I love about this is the message that sometimes things take hard work, so keep trying,” Sanford said. “We normally associate magic with things that aren’t real, but it’s truly about finding magic in everyday moments.”

Other popular Sesame Street characters Cookie Monster, Gonger, Abby Cadabby and Big Bird are included in the show, each learning themselves about the magic in every day life.

“We’re bringing all furry friends you’ve seen on the show and making it live and in person,” Sanford said.

“It is very musically driven, and songs children know from the television show will also be included.”

Sanford is in her second year with the “Sesame Street Live!” production and plays the character Rosita, who orchestrates a rhythmic beat using everyday objects around her.

Magnifying magic of shadow puppetry, the sci-

‘Sesame Street Live!’ show features popular characters

IF YOU GO What: “Sesame Street Live! Make Your Magic” When: 6 p.m. Nov. 9, 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. Nov. 10, and 2 p.m. Nov. 11 Where: Duluth’s Infinite Energy Arena Tickets: $20 to $50 For more information: www.infiniteenergy center.com

ence and fun of baking, the abilities of caterpillars to transform and color pigments being mixed are all going to be explored during the show.

Sanford said the major takeaway from the tour, beginning Oct. 12 in Tampa, is providing a positive message to children about being smarter and kinder humans.

For herself, the shows in Duluth and Atlanta touch close to home because she lived and worked at Six Flags Over Georgia prior to getting being offered a role in the live production.

“I’m so excited to do both Duluth and Atlanta,” Sanford said. “I can have my family and friends from nearby to come. It’s awesome to bring it to my own community.”

Atlanta shows are Nov. 16-18 at the Cobb Energy Performing Arts Centre.

Additionally, before the shows, guests are able to purchase a pre-show meetand-greet. The meet-andgreet starts 45 minutes to an hour prior to the show and allows guests to interact with Elmo and “Sesame Street” characters as well as get their photo taken.

Fernbank’s new exhibit highlights nature’s superheroes

By Trevor McNaBoe

IF YOU GO

trevor.mcnaboe @gwinnettdailypost.com

The Fernbank Museum of Natural History is highlighting superheroes this fall and winter in its newest exhibit.

Make way Superman, Batman and the assorted cast of Marvel characters for nature’s superheroes.

Officially named “Nature’s Superheroes: Life at the Limits,” the special exhibit begins on Oct. 6 and continues until Jan. 1, highlighting the diversity of life and the extreme adaptations that allow organisms to thrive all over the world.

“We’re featuring a lot of plants, animals and bacteria in this exhibit,” Jessica Nuckolls, museum life science educator, said. “We’re highlighting anything that is spectacular.”

Nuckolls said the name of the exhibit goes along with the rise in popularity of superhero movies, most recently “Avengers: Infinity War” and “Black Panther.”

“This exhibit is a chance for people to look around them and investigate plants and animals that have adaptations,” Nuckolls said.

What: “Nature Superheroes: Life at the Limits” When: Oct. 6 to Jan. 1 Where: Fernbank Natural Museum of History, 767 Clifton Road in Atlanta Cost: Exhibit is free with purchase of museum ticket — $20 for adults, $19 for seniors over age of 65 and $18 for children ages 3-12.

and Nuckolls encourage guests to be involved with the superhero theme by wearing their own costumes.

“It’s a chance to look and learn about superheroes that are around us and allow kids to identify the theme of superpowers with a real-life organism.”

Because it is a special exhibit, the museum will only have it for a limited amount of time. The exhibit is on loan from the Amercian Museum of Natural History.

“It travels around to different museums, so in honor of it we’re making a big deal about the opening,” Jessica Shock, Fernbank’s public relations and promotions manager, said. “We’re planning Nature’s Superhero Day to welcome in the exhibit.”

While the exhibit doesn’t open to the public until Oct. 6, Shock said she is

unique animal because they can be in so many different environments — cold, warm, deep in the ocean or in small bodies of water.

They embody the adaptability we’re trying to show in this exhibit.”

Nuckolls said tardigrades, commonly referred to as water bears, are typically only a centimeter in size.

However, the museum will have 10-foot models of them.

The end goal for museum officials is to provide a good experience for guests while allowing them to connect nature with an interest they may have.

“I’m really looking forward to people that might not have experienced something like this to learn more about adaptations and how unique animals and plants are in this world,” Nuckolls said. “Everywhere you look, there’s adaptation, so we hope to open people’s eyes with this exhibit.”

The exhibit will be open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day with tickets ranging from $18 to $20.

Leadercast Women speakers to include Bush twins, Molly Fletcher

A daylong conference emphasizing female leadership and empowerment is boasting a number of big-name speakers this year.

Speakers at the second annual Leadercast Women, which will be held Oct. 12 at the Georgia World Congress Center, include the Bush twins — Barbara Bush and Jenna Bush Hager — Molly Fletcher, Clemantine

IF YOU GO What: Leadercast Women Where: Georgia World Congress Center; 285 Andrew Young International Blvd. N.W., Atlanta When: Oct. 12 Cost: $209 per ticket

Wamariya, Celeste Headlee, Julia Landauer and several others.

The event will focus on what it means to be a leader and how to lead oneself, which is key when it comes

to leading others, said Leadercast President and CEO Angela Raub.

“I feel really proud of our organization because we understand that there’s such a dire need for women to have an event where they can learn from different thought leaders about how to lead and what makes (a leader),” she said. “We have a science to scheduling our speakers and we really do design the day to be inspirational, not just from business perspective but in multiple (areas).”

The conference, Raub said, is organized in such a way as to allow women to network before and after speaker sessions.

The day will begin with networking followed by the first three speakers, then a break, which will be followed by another three speakers.

An elongated lunch, which gives women a networking opportunity and an exhibit area to explore, will be followed by the last three speakers — the Bush twins and

Fletcher.

While Raub said she’s excited about all the speakers, she is most looking forward to the day as a whole and the opportunities she hopes it will open for women.

“I’m most excited about the attendees that will come to the event,” Raub said. “The theme is leading yourself and I’m honored that our attendees trust the content of our day enough to make themselves vulnerable in their leadership journey; that’s really impactful for

me.”

Last year’s inaugural event was “hugely successful” Raub said, which she expects for this year, too.

“What’s unique is this is designed for anyone from a stay-at-home mom to a (CEO),” she said. “We do have (business) leaders speaking, but we also have people who really encourage women in (science, technology, engineering and mathmatics) and other (fields).”

One letter brings back a million memories A letter came the other day. Just like an old-fashioned epistle from the past, a time when people sat down, took pen in hand, used stationery, put it in an envelope and sent it through the mail.

It is a tremendous stack of mail that arrives daily at the Rondarosa and takes quite a while to sort through and handle.

I picked up the envelope, opened it and pulled out a three-page letter written in cursive with ink. Though time was anything from plentiful, I dragged out a chair, sat down at the kitchen table and started to read this personal form of communication. I eyed it with interest and did not hurry. I savored its words.

Just like people once did.

Green beans, tomatoes, peas, corn, peppers and squash from their summer gardens as well as corn meal they ground at the mill, jam they made or a pig from a new litter. And, always without fail, when we left someone’s house, they rummaged around the cabinets and root cellars until they could find a jar of something to send home with us.

Alma Calhoun, of Nimblewill’s beloved Calhoun family, sent many things home with us over the years but nothing ever more loved that a gallon of sweet milk from their cow that she milked a couple of times a day as well as an extraordinary gallon of buttermilk that she churned. To this day, hers is my favorite buttermilk which had little pieces of

light yellow butter floating in the creamy soft white milk.

Dinah’s family was much the same. We visited on Sundays to see the ailing and elderly. Her grandparents Wheeler who lived in a plain, two story white clapboard farm house with a weathered porch and hand-hewn rocking chairs were part of our visiting rotation.

“What I will always remember,” she wrote, “is how your daddy and my granddaddy would sit on the porch, Bibles in hand and discuss the word of God.” I teared at the memory as I recalled that two men, in dark Sunday clothes, huddled close together as they rocked gently and read aloud scriptures that led to deep conversation,

meant nothing to me then.

Still in my pretty dress but my lace-trimmed socks and shoes tossed in Mama’s lap, I ran through the thick, deep green grass and examined closely bright yellow sunflowers that I had never touched before.

For those things have wilted away but the words those two men spoke, live on today.

bestbets SUNDAY

MONDAY

8 p.m. on FOX 9-1-1 With tempers already frayed by temperatures on the hottest day of the year, the first responders struggle to maintain their cool while responding to a string of harrowing events around the city in part one of the Season 2 premiere, “Under Pressure.”

The incidents include an eruption of road rage involving a van load of tourists, a veteran who has a live grenade embedded in his leg and an emergency at an automotive repair shop.

9 p.m. on CBS Magnum P.I. It’s been a “few” years since the first version, plus original star Tom Selleck is occupied elsewhere (in “Blue Bloods,” of course) ... so someone else drives the cool car in this new reboot of the detective series.

In “I Saw the Sun Rise,” Jay Hernandez (“Hostel”) assumes the title role of the military veteran who works for an unseen employer in Hawaii, via an intermediary named Higgins (a female this time, portrayed

by Perdita Weeks). Magnum’s resourceful pals Rick and TC are played now by Zachary Knighton and Stephen Hill.

TUESDAY

Angela Bassett

10:01 p.m. on NBC New Amsterdam Just because an actor is “killed off” a show doesn’t mean he can’t resurface in another, as “The Blacklist” alum Ryan Eggold proves by assuming the lead in this new drama. He plays the medical director of the title hospital — based on the famous Bellevue facility —

Jay Hernandez and as he assumes the job, he challenges conventional thinking about delivering the best-possible patient care despite gaps in staffing and funding. Co-stars include Freema Agyeman (“Doctor Who”), Janet Montgomery (“This Is Us”) and Tyler Labine (“Reaper”).

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 as this musical drama opens its fifth season with “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. Jussie Smollett and Bryshere “Yazz” Gray also star.

THURSDAY 8:31 p.m. on CBS Young Sheldon As the show moves into its regular time period, Sheldon (Iain Armitage) is so used to being the smartest guy in the room that he is thrown for a loop when he gets unexpected competition from another 10-year-old genius in the new “A Rival Prodigy and Sir Isaac Neutron.” Worse, Meemaw (Annie Potts) is forced to intervene when Sheldon is overcome with jealousy at how newcomer Paige (Mckenna Grace) charms Dr. Sturgis (Wallace Shawn).

FRIDAY 10 p.m. on CBS Blue Bloods In the Season 9 premiere, “Playing With Fire,” Danny’s (Donnie Wahlberg) latest case has a very personal component, since it involves Louis Delgado (guest star Lou Diamond Phillips), the drug cartel member Danny is nearly sure was behind the torching of his house last season.

Elsewhere, Frank (Tom Selleck) clashes with Jamie (Will Estes) when the latter refuses to take a new partner and stop riding with Eddie (Vanessa Ray), who’s now his fiancee.

defenses who stack the line to stop Love with a solid passing attack while the Irish pick their battles for senior quarterback Brandon Wimbush.

11:29 p.m. on NBC Saturday Night Live This late-night sketch comedy series has had some creative dry spells during its long history, but it enters its 44th season tonight in resurgent style, thanks in no small part to a current ensemble that includes multiple Emmy winner Kate McKinnon, as well as Leslie Jones, Kenan Thompson and “Weekend Update” anchors Colin Jost and Michael Che.

SATURDAY 7:30 p.m. on NBC College Football The Notre Dame Fighting Irish appear to have a dominating defense, just ask Michigan, who they frustrated in Week 1. They’re about to be tested by the Stanford Cardinal and senior running back Bryce Love, a shoe-in for the NFL next year, and last year’s Heisman Trophy runner-up. The Cardinal have been punishing

Ignoring data is essential for optimism My daughter recently got married. In the weeks leading up to the wedding, I realized the act of getting married is profoundly optimistic. We’re all well-acquainted with the 50 percent divorce rate. Yet every day, we humans look these odds in the face and say, “We’re doing it anyway.”

As I stood watching my daughter joyously pledge herself to another, it got me thinking about why humans are so wonderfully persistent in our belief that we will be the ones who can make it work.

Entrepreneurs enthusiastically launch businesses ignoring the very real odds that 90 percent fail.

Writers pour their hearts into books that will

tion. I’d gone for an early morning walk, before starting the work day.

As I entered the hotel, a colleague and friend called me on my cellphone. I knew we had some business to discuss, so I answered quickly telling her, “I can’t talk, I’m about to get on the Lisa McLeod elevator. Can we talk in five?”

Just then the hotel’s likely never be published. outside glass elevator Again and again, we showed up. Stepping in, humans paint canvasses, as the lone passenger, I write music, start famirealized we could conlies and begin other risk- tinue the conversation. fraught endeavors with I said, “Never mind, dogged and, statistically it’s a glass elevator, and speaking, completely I’m alone, let’s finish unjustified optimism. up.” Then it struck me: A few years ago, I The last time I was in was staying at the hotel this elevator, I was 22. I where my husband and I had just gotten married, had our wedding recepand I was riding up to the

top floor for my wedding reception with my new husband. My colleague was also a friend, so I shared that fact with her. ”Reflecting back on that young couple,” I said, “If anyone had told you everything that was going to happen to those two, no one would have believed you — the family problems, health issues, financial setbacks — wow!”

My friend, a woman who has been married about as long as I have (which is practically forever) laughed and said, “That’s for sure.”

Then I realized anyone could have predicted it, especially anyone over 50.

Had anyone with any years on them been told

the cute young couple in the wedding dress and tux holding hands in the glass elevator would face in-law issues, health scares and financial problems, the older person would have nodded and said, “Yep, sounds about right.”

The only people who wouldn’t believe it would have been the cute young couple. They (we) would have said, “Oh no, those things aren’t going to happen to us because we have a plan!” Like so many before us, we ignored the data and believed we could make ourselves immune to hardship.

Had we known what was coming, would we still have proceeded? I honestly don’t know. I’m

certainly glad we did. It’s true, we didn’t anticipate the problems, nor did we anticipate the profound joy of our children and the comfort of having someone beside you when life goes awry.

Getting married is an act of courage. It’s unmitigated optimism in the face of unfavorable odds.

This belief, that tomorrow can be better than today and that we can be successful where others have failed, is what propels life forward. Optimism: it’s a requirement for human endeavors.

Making a case for shorter school year The reaction to last week’s column, in favor of starting school the day after Labor Day, was pretty predictable — mostly, professional educators screaming that I’m an idiot and don’t know what I’m talking about.

Of course, not all educators disagree with me.

Several have quietly thanked me for saying openly what they’re thinking but can’t say out loud for fear of retaliation.

Still, for many teachers and administrators, I must be some sort of anti-education Philistine for even suggesting that we could start the school year later — that maybe we don’t actually need 180 days of school, many of which are quite frankly wasted on nonacademic activities.

Clearly, the professionals insist, we need at least that many days. Otherwise, “the children!” will suffer from poor education, the only acceptable solution to which is an ever longer, ever more intrusive school calendar.

But is that true? Anecdotally, when I was in elementary and middle school, back in the 1960s and ’70s, we traditionally started school the day after Labor Day and got out around the end of May. It didn’t seem to hurt us any. We covered the relevant material and were as prepared as possible for our end-of-the-year tests.

Of course, there weren’t as many of those tests back then, which as I suggested last week, is part of the problem today.

Let’s set anecdotal evidence aside, though, and look at some hard numbers.

In 1971, the average length of the school year in the United States was 161 days.

By 2017, it was nearly 180, meaning kids today attend school almost four weeks longer than when I rode a desk.

Has it helped? Apparently not. According to the U.S. Department of Education’s website, among 17-year-olds, reading and math scores have shown no improvement since 1970. There has been slight improvement in lower grades, but that hasn’t led to better outcomes for graduates.

Speaking of graduates, what about SAT scores? Has the 12 percent increase in the length of the school year translated to improved performance on college entrance exams?

Not so much. If anything, scores have ticked down a bit.

In 1972, the average score on the SAT math section, adjusted for modern scoring standards, was 509, while the average critical reading score was 530. Compare that to average scores in 2016 of 508 on math and 494 on reading.

And all this lack of progress occurred while spending per student was more than doubling nationwide — from about $5,500 in 1970, adjusted for inflation, to $11,500 in 2017.

I wonder how much of that additional spending can be attributed to extending the school year into early August, when electrical bills are typically at their highest.

But I digress. The point is, contrary to the education establishment’s strident claims, there is manifestly no advantage to having a longer school year — and perhaps much to be gained by shortening it.
