Simonton Elementary’s first mini-Relay raises $4K Six-month wait ahead for drug rehab center

LAWRENCEVILLE — For a day that began with a chemotherapy treatment, Scott Schoenthal wore a wide grin.

As the father looked over the grassy area behind Simonton Elementary on Wednesday afternoon, Schoenthal smiled, watching more than 800 students dance and run around in the name of raising money to fight cancer. Schoenthal was encouraged and emotional about his son, Brayden, a firstgrader, who raised $2,100 in two weeks toward his school’s mini-Relay for Life effort.

It was the first event of its kind at Simonton and the third time a Gwinnett school put

Several residents from the Lawrenceville-Grayson area spoke out against a residential drug treatment facility that has been proposed for their area, but they will have to wait a while before they find out if their pleas were enough to stop it.

Gwinnett County commissioners held a rezoning public hearing on the proposed facility on Tuesday night. Fresh Start foundations wants to operate the treatment and rehabilitation center at 1680 Chandler Road in unincorporated Lawrenceville.

•From Page 1A school had a survivors lap where people connected to the school, like staff members Sandra Allen and Rhonna Beasley, each ran a lap.

Schoenthal, who has battled cancer multiple times since 2004, was the face of a fight that inspired Brayden’s class to raise $2,762 and the school to reach $4,215.81, just about the goal of $5 per student.

A few envelopes that came in Wednesday morning pushed the effort toward $4,500, Vinke said.

“They’re a bunch of little heartwarming kids,” she said. “We’ve had a few kids bring in money (and say), ‘We don’t care if we win, we just want to help cure cancer.’ They’re competitive, but they know that’s not the only reason.”

The personalized event invitation Schoenthal received, which had hand prints of all the students in Brayden’s class, read, “Mr. Scott, you’re invited to the Simonton Relay.”

“It was the coolest thing,” Schoenthal said, who added that the class also sent home letters and songs to encourage him.

“It’s unbelievable.”

There was no doubt in the minds of Schoenthal and teachers and administrators at the school that the students made a personal connection because they’re familiar with the family’s story.

“Everybody knows somebody,” Schoenthal said. “There’s not a single person out here that doesn’t know the word ‘cancer.’ They may not know what it means, but they know what it is.”

Schoenthal said he’s been on a good path recently with his treatment, but the pep rally-like

Trial

by McGarity to participate in Weil’s death.

In a tape played in court, Williams told detectives that McGarity held a gun on him as he tied up the victim and took her to the bathroom.

Williams said he wanted to throw up after McGarity tied an Ethernet cable around the 20-year-old woman’s neck until she stopped breathing.

For his part, Williams said he too had been trying to shake the memory.

Wiley’s version had Williams as a much more willing player with McGarity.

The witness acknowledged that some of his memories from the day are hazy, thanks to the distance of years and meth.

But he recalled this much: It started with a conversation in the living room. Weil was asleep in a bedroom.

McGarity, who Wiley heard has ties with the Folk Nation gang and a drug cartel, complained that Weil had stolen her laptop. Williams, who Wiley said was on the losing side of a controlling relationship with McGarity, chimed in that Weil also took money and drugs from him.

McGarity suggested someone restrain the victim with zip ties; Williams did it.

McGarity’s handgun, a Hi-Point .380, was lying on the table and not a threat to Williams at the time, as far as Wiley remembers.

The witness said he thought the defendants were trying to scare Weil but wouldn’t kill her. All the same, he wanted to leave.

McGarity allegedly told him no one was leaving.

Weil, a fellow drug user and acquaintance of the others, woke up and was mumbling for help before McGarity and Williams walked into the bedroom.

At this point in telling the story Wednesday, Wiley

•From Page 1A

began to cry on the stand.

“I could hear Amy hitting Kayla with the gun and her begging them to stop,” he said, recalling the sound of metal on skin “repeatedly.”

“She said she was sorry and she’s already been beat enough.”

They came back to the living room, and Williams had a compliment for McGarity: “Cody said she looked hot when she was beating Kayla with that gun,” Wiley said. “He was excited, got a rush from it. A brand new feeling,” like the first time you try something.

Wiley soon left the house with the other defendant, Cedric “Ced” English, for a drug deal and apparently didn’t see or hear the strangling. Wiley heard later from McGarity that Williams broke Weil’s neck, but the witness claimed he still didn’t believe she was dead even in the days that followed.

In the drug world, people often vanish only to reappear later, he said.

Williams’ attorney brought up that Wiley had said in the living room, before Weil died, “Why don’t we duct tape that b——?”

Wiley said he thought the conversation of what to do with Weil was just a “game.”

There was also talk that Weil had been “sold” to the drug cartel, Wiley said, and he didn’t know what to believe.

But later, Wiley seemed to have a strong feeling she was dead. He visited Williams’ trailer and asked what happened to the body.

“All I can tell you is it’s too close to home,” Williams allegedly said.

That October, workers found the body in a shutdown park on U.S. Army Corps of Engineers property on Lake Lanier, which wasn’t far from the trailer on Friendship Road.

Georgia Gold Medal Plants will thrive, beautify Looking to add some high quality, attractive plants to your home landscape? Consider using Georgia Gold Medal Plants.

These plants are selected by the Georgia Plant Selections Committee to promote the production, sale and usage of ornamental plants with superior qualities.

Several factors are taken into consideration in choosing the plants. The plants must have minimal pest issues, low maintenance requirements, ability to tolerate the varying climates and soil types in the state, and positive attributes that are appealing to customers.

Additional factors involved in the choosing of plants are their ease of propagation and production in order to have adequate supplies needed to mass market the plants, as well as having appealing characteristics that last multiple seasons.

One plant is chosen from

If used in a mass planting, it is showy and colorful. It does well in container planting. The Persian shield thrives in the hot, dry conditions of our summers.

Distyliums were chosen for the shrub category.

They are evergreen shrubs that are compact, pest resistant and tolerate heat and drought. The leaves are dark green, glossy and leathery, and the plant has small reddish-purple flowers in February. It prefers full sun to part shade with well-drained soil.

The plant grows three to 10 feet in height, and, depending upon the variety, can have an upright or cascading growth habit.

Distyliums are a hardier, pest-free alternative to junipers, Indian hawthorns and boxwoods. Several varieties have attractive qualities: Coppertone has bronze-purple foliage, Vintage Jade has a mounding compact growth habit and Blue Cascade has dark blue-green foliage that holds its color throughout the year. The plants can be used as a hedge.

Rape kit bill gets new life as 2016 state legislative session nears end

407723-5

A rape kit testing reform bill that seemed dead and stirred anger against state Sen. Renee Unterman, R-Buford, a week ago got a second chance at becoming law as the Georgia General Assembly wound down its 2016 session this week.

The state House of Representatives agreed to substitute the language of Senate Bill 304, which dealt with the disclosure of a person’s involuntary hospitalization records with criminal records, with the text of rape kit bill on Tuesday. The author of the rape kit bill, state Rep. Scott Holcomb, D-Atlanta, carried Senate Bill 304 in the house.

“The bill is still alive and we are going to keep

Holcomb’s bill never got a hearing in the committee.

Time is of the essence for the General Assembly to do something, however, because today is the final day of the legislative session.

Unterman has faced heavy criticism over the fact that the bill didn’t get a committee hearing. That criticism moved to national television on Monday during a piece on the TBS show “Full Frontal with Samantha Bee,” where the host asked, “Woman, have you lost your (expletive) mind?” before showing a clip from the movie “Deliverance.”

Generations Expo: Gwinnett will be held on June 4 at Infinite Energy Forum

Isakson calls for extermination of ISIL after Brussels attack U.S. Senator Johnny Isakson, R-Ga., called on President Barack Obama to put the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, also known as ISIL or ISIS, out of business after the terrorist attacks in Brussels on Tuesday.

Isakson denounced the attacks as “evil acts of violence” in a statement and said the U.S. should

stand with Belgium.

“I have stated time and again that you cannot negotiate with someone who would cut off your head,” the senator, who is a member of the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations, said in the statement. “ISIL must be dealt with by no other means than with the intention of eradicating them from the face of the Earth.

“Today’s attacks are a stark reminder that the threat of ISIL is not contained. It is past time for President Obama to stop dismissing ISIL and instead equip and enable our armed forces and our intelligence agencies to root out terrorists wherever they are.”

Isakson’s office said anyone who has loved ones in Belgium and is worried about their safety can call the U.S. Department of State at 1-888407-4747.

Johnson introduces toxic coal ash bill U.S. Rep. Hank Johnson, D-Ga., unveiled legislation on Tuesday to overhaul how coal ash is classified by the federal government, and set new rules on how municipal solid waste landfills handle the substance.

The legislation comes on the heels of Johnson’s recent letter to U.S. Commission on Civil Rights, in which he asked for more protections against coal ash dust for people who live near landfills.

The proposed legislation is designed to reduce the amount of coal ash dust that drifts into a community while it’s being transported, establish rules that require multiple types of groundwater inspections that could occur as often as weekly, bar coal combustion residuals from being 5 feet or less away from groundwater and require public notices about monitoring data, corrective action plans and inspection reports.

“I do not want Georgia residents or anyone in America, regardless of income, neighborhood, race or ethnicity, to be unfairly and unreasonably exposed to toxic chemicals because coal ash is being deposited in inadequately protected facilities near their homes and communities,” Johnson said in a statement.

referred to as black tupelo.

This deciduous tree has the potential to grow as tall as 60 feet and has a long lifespan. The leaves are up to five inches long, varying in shape, and have a glossy green color that has a brilliant red-to-purple fall color.

Black gum flowers are among favorites of bees. In the fall, black gum has dark purple fruit a half inch in length which provides food for many species of birds.

Though it thrives in wet soils, the tree grows in a multitude of environments and thrives in droughts.

Black gums are excellent shade trees in the landscape.

The winner of the native plant category is the native azaleas. Roughly 12 species of the deciduous shrubs exist in Georgia.

They vary from 3 to 15 feet tall with several flower colors. Some bloom early in the season before the leaves appear while others bloom later in the season.

The flowers attract bees, butterflies and other pollinators. The Piedmont azalea has pinkish-white flowers, the Florida azalea has yellow to orange-red flowers, the flame azalea has brilliant yellow to orange blossoms and the plum leaf azalea has orange to red flowers that bloom in June and July.

Like other azaleas, they prefer part shade and well-drained soil; they will suffer in full sun.

If you are seeking new plants for your landscape, consider planting some of the Gold Medal Plants.

They are attractive and, once established, are easy to maintain. For more information on these plants, go to the following website: www.georgiagoldmedalplants.org.

DEAR DR. ROACH: I read in your column recently that you suggested saw palmetto to a male reader who was having difficulty with his blood pressure dropping due to medications prescribed for his enlarged prostate. That was causing frequent trips to the bathroom and a weak urine stream. I have read a number of articles, both pro and con, about the effectiveness of saw palmetto for enlarged prostate. Further, there is the question of the consistency of over-thecounter supplements and whether they actually contain the ingredients in the amounts listed. Could you please offer some insight as to the effectiveness of saw palmetto for enlarged prostate, either from experience with patients or from actual research? Also, is there any good way to determine which brands of supplements are more likely to contain the ingredients as labeled?

— A.R. ANSWER: I believe I noted that the studies were conflicting; some studies show a benefit over placebo, but others — including a National Institutes of Healthfunded study (not drug company-funded) and one from a respected group (the Cochrane collaborative), which was an evaluation of multiple studies — showed no benefit over placebo.

As you note, there is a high degree of variability of the active ingredients in saw palmetto from one brand to another. I am very cautious about recommending a particular brand. A 2004 study from UCLA showed tremendous variation between brands (which were not disclosed). A 2011 study in JAMA used a German product, but the study showed no benefit over placebo. A 2006 study in the New England Journal of Medicine used a proprietary blend, which also showed no benefit over placebo. Despite my best efforts, I cannot recommend any particular brand that is available in North America.

Cancer leads friends to suggest cures DEAR AMY: My husband was diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer last fall. He has been on chemotherapy, but two regimens have ceased to contain it and the overall prognosis is not good. At the most, it is unlikely he will survive more than a year from diagnosis.

People we hardly know come up to us and tell us how various alternative medicine approaches (multiple herbs, specific diets, etc.) “cured” their loved ones and/or tell us how their neighbor, co-worker or friend has survived five, eight or 10 years or even that “they can cure cancer now.”

These people do not seem to know much about cancer in general, let alone pancreatic cancer — that there are different types and that different people respond differently to treatment.

I have tried to simply say “that’s interesting” to suggestions of alternative therapies and “how fortunate for him or her” to the others but, unfortunately, these people want to continue telling us what we should be doing or insisting that he can live a long time.

Since I see on a daily basis the deterioration in my husband’s condition, I find these comments and unsolicited advice extremely distressing.

Recently, in an attempt to end one of these unsolicited conversations, I told someone that they did not

DEAR RESENTFUL: You should not focus on changing your thoughts, but perhaps on changing your address. You offer not one reason to stay in this relationship.

WORLD Turkey: Brussels attacker was deported in 2015 ANKARA — One of the attackers in the Brussels suicide bombings was deported last year from Turkey, and Belgium subsequently ignored a warning that the man was a militant, Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan said on Wednesday.

Erdogan’s office identified the man as Ibrahim El Bakraoui, one of the two brothers named by Belgium as responsible for the attacks that killed at least 31 people in Brussels on Tuesday and were claimed by the Islamic State group.

Belgian officials did not respond to requests for comment.

In previous cases, officials have said that without evidence of crime, such as having fought in Syria, they cannot jail people deported from Turkey. Among such cases was Brahim Abdeslam, one of the suicide bombers in Paris in November, who was also sent back to Belgium from Turkey early last year.

U.N.: Yemen to halt fighting on April 10 UNITED NATIONS — The warring parties in Yemen have agreed to a cessation of hostilities starting at midnight on April 10 and peace talks in Kuwait beginning a week later, United Nations special envoy Ismail Ould Cheikh Ahmed said on Wednesday.

There have already been several failed attempts to defuse the conflict in Yemen, which has drawn in regional foes Saudi Arabia and Iran and triggered a humanitarian crisis in the Arab world’s poorest country.

“This is really our last chance,” Ould Cheikh Ahmed told reporters in New York. “The war in Yemen must be brought to an end.”

A Saudi-led coalition began a military campaign in Yemen a year ago with the aim of preventing Iran-allied Houthi rebels and forces loyal to Yemen’s ex-president Ali Abdullah Saleh from taking control of the country.

Belgium names bomber brothers Key remaining suspect in Brussels blast still on run

By Jan Strupczewski, Julia Fioretti and Alastair Macdonald Reuters

BRUSSELS — Belgium’s chief prosecutor named two brothers on Wednesday as Islamic State suicide bombers who killed at least 31 people in the most deadly attacks in Brussels’ history but said another key suspect was on the run.

Tuesday’s attacks on a city that is home to the European Union and NATO sent shockwaves across Europe and around the world, with authorities racing to review security at airports and on public transport. It also rekindled debate about lagging European security cooperation and flaws in police surveillance.

Washington announced that Secretary of State John Kerry would visit Belgium on Friday to demonstrate support.

The Belgian federal prosecutor told a news conference that Ibrahim El Bakraoui, 29, one of two men who blew themselves up at Brussels airport on Tuesday, had left a will on a computer dumped in a rubbish bin near the militants’ hideout.

In it, he described himself as “always on the run, not knowing what to do any-

This CCTV image from the Brussels Airport surveillance cameras, made available by Belgian Police, shows what officials believe may be suspects in the Brussels airport attack on Tuesday. The Belgian state prosecutor said in a press conference that a photograph of three male suspects was taken at Zaventem. “Two of them seem to have committed suicide attacks. The third, wearing a light-coloured jacket and a hat, is actively being sought,” the prosecutor said. (Reuters/CCTV/Handout via Reuters)

more, being hunted everywhere, not being safe any longer and that if he hangs around, he risks ending up next to the person in a cell” — a reference to suspected Paris bomber Salah Abdeslam, who was arrested last week.

His brother Khalid El Bakraoui, 27, detonated a bomb an hour later on a crowded rush-hour metro train near the European Commission headquarters, prosecutor Frederic Van Leeuw said.

Both men, born in Bel-

gium, had criminal records for armed robbery but investigators had not linked them to Islamist militants until Abdeslam’s arrest, when police began a race against time to track down his suspected accomplices.

That seems to have prompted the bombers to rush into an attack in Belgium after months of lying low, according to the testament found on the laptop.

At least 31 people were killed and 271 wounded in the attacks, the prosecutor said. That toll could increase

NATION Obama rejects singling out Muslims in fight against ISIS

BUENOS AIRES — President Barack Obama said on Wednesday the United States can and will defeat Islamic State and rejected the notion put forth by some Republican presidential candidates that Muslims in the United States should be singled out for surveillance.

were on edge a day after deadly suicide bombings

by Islamist militants rocked Brussels.

Passengers were ordered out of public areas of the domestic terminal at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, the United States’ busiest by passenger volume, but the site was quickly cleared and operations resumed, airport officials said.

Parts of Denver airport were also evacuated on Tuesday, hours after at least 31 people were killed and 260 wounded in attacks on Brussels airport and a rushhour metro train, as airports across the United States tightened security.

U.S. officials were trying to find Americans missing after the attacks, which the officials said injured about a dozen U.S. citizens including three Mormon missionaries, a U.S. Air Force airman, and four members of his family.

Rockefeller Fund divests from fossil fuels, Exxon HOUSTON/NEW YORK — The Rockefeller Family Fund said on Wednesday it

will divest from fossil fuels as quickly as possible and “eliminate holdings” of Exxon Mobil Corp, saying the oil company associated with the family fortune has misled the public about climate change risks.

The U.S.-based charity will also divest its coal and Canadian oil sands holdings.

Though the endowment has a modest $130 million in total assets, the move is notable because a century ago John D. Rockefeller Sr. made a fortune running Standard Oil, a precursor to Exxon Mobil.

Given the threat posed to the survival of human and natural ecosystems, “there is no sane rationale for companies to continue to explore for new sources of hydrocarbons,” the fund said.

further because some of the bomb victims at Maelbeek metro station were blown to pieces and victims are hard to identify. Several survivors were still in critical condition.

The Bakraoui brothers were identified by their fingerprints and on security cameras, the prosecutor said.

A second suicide bomber at the airport had yet to be identified and a third man, whom he did not name, had left the biggest bomb and ran out of the terminal before the explosions.

PEOPLE Disney, Marvel to boycott Georgia if religious liberty bill is passed

LOS ANGELES — The Walt Disney Co. and Marvel Studios indicated opposition to a Georgia religious liberty bill pending before Gov. Nathan Deal, saying that they will take their business elsewhere “should any legislation allowing discriminatory practices be signed into state law.”

With generous tax incentives, Georgia has become a production hub, with Marvel currently shooting “Guardians of the Galaxy 2” at Pinewood Studios outside Atlanta. “Captain America: Civil War” shot there last summer.

“Disney and Marvel are inclusive companies, and although we have had great experiences filming in Georgia, we will plan to take our business elsewhere should any legislation allowing discriminatory practices be signed into state law,” a Disney spokesman said on Wednesday.

DNA data storage could last thousands of years in synthetic fossil

By Matthew Stock Reuters

Researchers in Switzerland have developed a method for writing vast amounts of information in DNA and storing it inside a synthetic fossil, potentially for thousands of years.

In past centuries, books and scrolls preserved the knowledge of our ancestors, even though they were prone to damage and disintegration. In the digital era,

MUST READ most of humanity’s collective knowledge is stored on servers and hard drives. But these have a limited lifespan and need constant maintenance.

Scientists from ETH Zurich have taken inspiration from the natural world in a bid to devise a storage medium that could last for potentially thousands of years.

They say that genetic material

found in fossils hundreds of thousands of years old can be isolated and analyzed as it has been protected from environmental stresses. “(The) fascination of having this very, extremely old information — a hundred thousand years, older than anything else humanity knows — in DNA. So it kind of tells us that it’s a really stable material which can endure nature or the environment for a very long time,” said Dr. Robert Grass, a senior scientist at ETH Zurich’s Depart-

ment of Chemistry and Applied Biosciences.

In order to protect informationbearing DNA, they encapsulated it in a synthetic ‘fossil’ shell made from a microscopic silica glass particle with diameter of roughly 150 nanometers.

“We looked at ways of stabilizing DNA, and we developed a method of encapsulating DNA into small glass particles. And we’ve shown that in these particles, traces are more stable, these DNA traces

are more stable than they are otherwise in the environment,” Grass added.

The researchers say that encapsulation in silica is roughly comparable to that of fossilized bones.

The long-term stability of the DNA can be estimated by comparisons to other DNA storage facilities, such as Norway’s Svalbard Global Seed Vault, where genetic material is stored at minus 18 degrees Celsius and can survive for more than a million years.

Black and white; left and right Much is made of the fact that liberals and conservatives see racial issues differently, which they do. But these differences have too often been seen as simply those on the right being racist and those on the left not.

You can cherry-pick the evidence to reach that conclusion. But you can also cherry-pick the evidence to reach the opposite conclusion.

During the heyday of the Progressive movement in the early 20th century, people on the left were in the forefront of those promoting doctrines of innate, genetic inferiority of not only blacks but also of people from Eastern EuThomas rope and Southern Sowell Europe, as compared to people from Western Europe.

Liberals today tend to either glide over the undeniable racism of Progressive President Woodrow Wilson or else treat it as an anomaly of some sort. But racism on the left at that time was not an anomaly, either for President Wilson or for numerous other stalwarts of the Progressive movement.

An influential 1916 best-seller, “The Passing of the Great Race” — celebrating Nordic Europeans — was written by Madison Grant, a staunch activist for Progressive causes such as endangered species, municipal reform, conservation and the creation of national parks.

He was a member of an exclusive social club founded by Republican Progressive Theodore Roosevelt, and Grant and Franklin D. Roosevelt became friends in the 1920s, addressing one another in letters as “My dear Frank” and “My dear Madison.” Grant’s book was translated into German, and Adolf Hitler called it his Bible.

Progressives spearheaded the eugenics movement, dedicated to reducing the reproduction of supposedly “inferior” individuals and races. The eugenics movement spawned Planned Parenthood, among other groups. In academia, there were 376 courses devoted to eugenics in 1920.

Progressive intellectuals who crusaded against the admission of immigrants from Eastern Europe and Southern Europe, branding them as genetically inferior, included many prominent academic scholars — such as heads of such scholarly organizations as the American Economic Association and the American Sociological Association.

Southern segregationists who railed against blacks were often also Progressives who railed against Wall Street. Back in those days, blacks voted for Republicans as automatically as they vote for Democrats today.

Where the Democrats’ President Woodrow Wilson introduced racial segregation into those government agencies in Washington where it did not exist at the time, Republican President Calvin Coolidge’s wife invited the wives of black Congressmen to the White House. As late as 1957, civil rights legislation was sponsored in Congress

by Republicans and opposed by Democrats.

Later, when the Civil Rights Act of 1964 was sponsored by Democrats, a higher percentage of Congressional Republicans voted for it than did Congressional Democrats. Revisionist histories tell a different story. But, as Casey Stengel used to say, “You could look it up” — in the Congressional Record, in this case.

Conservatives who took part in the civil rights marches, or who were otherwise for equal rights for blacks, have not made nearly as much noise about it as liberals do. The first time I saw a white professor, at a white university, with a black secretary, it was Milton Friedman at the University of Chicago in 1960 — four years before the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

She was still his secretary when he died in 2006. But, in all those years, I never once heard Professor Friedman mention, in public or in private, that he had a black secretary. By all accounts, she was an outstanding secretary, and that was what mattered.

The biggest difference between the left and right today, when it comes to racial issues, is that liberals tend to take the side of those blacks who are doing the wrong things — hoodlums the left depicts as martyrs, while the right defends those blacks more likely to be the victims of those hoodlums.

Rudolph Giuliani, when he was the Republican mayor of New York, probably saved more black lives than any other human being, by promoting aggressive policing against hoodlums, which brought the murder rate down to a fraction of what it was before.

A lot depends on whether you judge by ringing words or judge by actual consequences.

Poor whites still targets of put-downs We live in a country where it’s considered out of bounds to put down AfricanAmericans and other ethnic and racial minorities, LGBTs, unlawfully present immigrants and many other special interest groups.

But, as has long been the case, poor white people are simply another story.

Derogatory names such as “redneck” and “hillbilly” have been co-opted by poor whites themselves as a reaction to derision from the so-called educated class. But other terms, such as “white trash” and “hick” — terms that have become seemingly omnipresent among liberals dismissing Donald Trump’s populist appeal — are, if you held them to the same standards as other ethnic epithets, just plain hate speech.

But, again, since the targets are white — and supposedly privileged by the color of their skin — those who put them down usually get a pass.

Yet, let’s be clear about just how disenfranchised poor whites are: Not only are they the object of derision on the left, they’re apparently becoming fair game for conservatives as well.

I’m referring specifically to a piece in National Review magazine that hasn’t made many eyelashes bat, given its subject.

In his essay “Chaos in the Family, Chaos in the State: The White Working Class’s Dysfunction,” roving correspondent Kevin D. Williamson writes that, basically, all this kerfuffle about workingclass whites being angry enough to buy into Trump’s rhetoric because globalization has destroyed decent-paying factory jobs is beside the point. Williamson thinks these losers should just get off their butts and go elsewhere to find jobs since wanting work in their own communities “is the indulgence of absurd sentimentality.”

They seem to all be sanctimonious struggling-Rust-Belt-factory-town addicts in Williamson’s vision of your typical sample of poor white country dwellers.

Donald Trump’s speeches make them

What did you do to stop him, Daddy?

WASHINGTON — Now that Donald Trump has spoken before the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), a pro-Israel lobbying group, Americans have learned the following: Trump can read a teleprompter; he finally got someone to write him a decent speech, which he was able to deliver without resorting to vulgarities; and he has provided something like a justification for reluctant Republicans to support him.

Which is a pretty low bar, you must admit. And it’s not nearly enough.

You know all the arguments pro and con by now. He speaks plainly. So did Archie Bunker. His message of walledin isolationism appeals to those tired of loose immigration policies. So was the case with Sen. Berzelius “Buzz” Windrip, the nativist demagogue in Sinclair Lewis’ 1935 cautionary novel, “It Can’t Happen Here.”

Windrip, like Trump, spoke of national greatness, though Windrip was more explicit, saying that Americans “must continue to be the greatest Race on the face of this old Earth.” Like Trump’s, Windrip’s base consisted largely of working-class white males, whom he called upon to help control dissent after he ascended to the Oval Office. Sound familiar? Punch anybody in the nose lately?

It’s called fascism by any other name and, yes, it does seem that it can happen here. That is, a demagogue can become president, as Lewis was trying to warn. And, yes, we do have checks and balances in this country, but does anyone really think that Trump should have the power to start a nuclear war?

He’s mighty quick to rile.

Winder ‘sovereign citizen’ gets jail time for tax evasion

By Joshua Sharpe

joshua.sharpe @gwinnettdailypost.com

A Winder doctor who claimed she was a “private sovereign citizen” not subject to income tax is paying.

Dr. Debra JohnsonJordan, whose defiance lasted years, was sentenced to one year and one day in federal prison after pleading guilty to tax evasion, U.S. Attorney John Horn’s office announced Wednesday.

“Hard-working taxpay-

ers should not have to shoulder the burden for people, like Dr. JohnsonJordan, who fail to pay their taxes because of spurious claims that they’re above the law,” Horn said in a news release. “This case shows that there are serious consequences for those who intentionally avoid their tax obligations.”

According to the feds, Johnson-Jordan, who practiced in East Point, dodged her obligations to the government from at least 1997 to 2014,

despite earnings in excess of $1.5 million. She ignored numerous notices from the IRS and raised “frivolous arguments” with her employer, the IRS and the U.S. Attorney’s Office until she was indicted in August.

“The law is clear on the issue of taxable income and who is required to file and pay taxes: there is no gray area on the subject,” said Veronica Hyman-Pillot, special agent in charge with the IRS’ Criminal Investigation office. “It is

our hope that today’s sentence will send a strong message, that schemes to avoid paying taxes are a violation of the federal tax laws and the consequences of such schemes can and will result in jail time.”

Johnson-Jordan, 58, faces three years of supervised release after prison and was ordered to pay restitution of $464,432 to the IRS. Assistant U.S. Attorney Jeffrey Brown prosecuted the case, investigated by Hyman-Pillot’s agency.

Gwinnett cities, CIDs receive community award from ARC

By Curt Yeomans

A trio of programs that took place in Gwinnett County last year received praise from the Atlanta Regional Commission on Wednesday for their work to advance arts programming, community involvement and civic education.

The programs, which were centered in Lawrenceville, Norcross and Suwanee, made up half of the field of winners in this year’s ARC CREATE Community Awards.

“These jurisdictions are to be commended for developing creative solutions that help make the Atlanta region an even better place to live,” ARC executive director Doug Hooker said in a statement. “By honoring these programs, we hope to spark an exchange of ideas across the metro Atlanta area.”

Historic start

Rolling Wesleyan boys know tougher tests lie ahead

By David Friedlander • david.friedlander@gwinnettdailypost.com

On the surface, the fact that Wesleyan’s boys soccer team is off to the best start in program history doesn’t seem like it should be a big deal.

After all, the Wolves have had their share of success over the years, and given the fact that head coach Billy Coxhead traditionally likes to test his team with a tough nonregion schedule each year, the 4-0 start achieved by the 2000 team doesn’t seem like that big of a threshold to reach.

However, the fact Wesleyan’s team remains undefeated this far into the 2016 campaign is noteworthy for at least two reasons.

For one thing, it has come against what has been pretty much as strong a nonregion schedule as the Wolves generally take on, including wins over state-ranked teams like Cross Keys (No. 3 in Class AAAA and last year’s state runner-up) and Blessed Trinity (No. 7 in Class AAA), as well as other larger class teams like Cambridge, Dunwoody and Alpharetta. It’s a far cry from just this time last year, when the team started the season at 4-6.

Secondly, at 11-0-1 — following Tuesday’s 9-1 rout of Our Lady of Mercy at Henderson Stadium — Wesleyan has nearly tripled the previous best start, which has surprised even Coxhead.

“Generally speaking, I’ve tried to schedule more difficult (opponents) early in the season because you get better when you play better people,” Coxhead said. “Even in 2010, when we made the state finals and had a really good team, we were 2-2 to start the year.

“We’ve done well (this season so far) and surprised everybody. It’s certainly surprised me that we would be at this record at this point in the season. We have had some good breaks. … I don’t think we necessarily deserved to win all

the games we’ve won, but somehow, we’ve come out on top.”

With the exception of a season-opening 1-1 tie with traditional state powerhouse Marist, the sixth-ranked Wolves have come out on top in every game — and have done so with a roster that is experienced in every step of the way.

With 16 of the team’s 19 players being upperclassmen, including 10 seniors, it is a different kind of experience, which Coxhead said has been perhaps the biggest key to the season.

“The players are playing well together, and we have a front six who all have soccer as a main sport,” Coxhead said. “That’s been hard (with Wesleyan) being a small school. I’ve had (overall) numbers, but I’ve never had 11 players where soccer was their main sport.

So, I’d have seven or eight going in who are good athletes, but again, they typically don’t play select soccer in the offseason, that sort of thing. But this year, the front six, soccer is their main sport. So that has certainly helped.”

Indeed, the front six of seniors Grant Sauer, Benji Johnson and Nick Eversbusch, junior Bryce Cook, sophomore Abraham Lopez and Coxhead’s freshman son, Liam, have been a major catalyst.

Certainly, the speed and skill have been a factor in the Wolves’ offense be-

ing able to post 46 goals through the first 12 games of the season, an average of 3.8 per game.

“In some of those games we had less of the possession — the Cross Keys, Alpharetta and Cambridge — one of the ways we were able to score was by counterattacking,” Coxhead said.

“Other teams were able to possess (the ball) and attack in our half of the field, and we would get a turnover, and we’ve got two guys up top who are pretty fast.”

Throw in a solid defense led by junior defender Kris Moratti and senior goalkeeper Austin Pack, and it’s been a winning formula for the Wolves.

While skill and athleticism have definitely played a part in the team’s start, at least one key player says the biggest factor may be one that cannot be measured on the field.

“It’s a ton of fun,” said Sauer, who is among the team leaders in goals. “It’s a great group of guys who are friends on and off the field.

I think that’s part of the reason we’re playing so well together. … We like to have fun on the field, no matter whether we’re playing a really good team or a team that’s more (inexperienced).

“In lots of the games, once we get a lead, we’re able to relax a little bit. But we always have to keep our defense strong. Our defense has been really good this season, just to add on to our

great attack.”

In fact, Sauer said the team has been having so much fun this season, they haven’t really thought much about how historic its season-opening 12-game unbeaten streak is.

It wasn’t until a fourgame stretch of wins earlier this month that he said they even realized just how good they’ve been thus far.

“Once we beat Alpharetta, we realized this team was really something we haven’t really had in a little while,” Sauer said.

“It’s kind of building on from there after beating Cambridge and Blessed Trinity. … We’ve played a lot of bigger (classification) schools, lots of teams that were even more skilled than us, but we were able to pull out those games. So, we never really (realized) until we were about six games in that we actually hadn’t lost yet.

“We’re taking it one game at a time, just focused on each one like that. But we’ve got big goals for the season, and we really think we can do well this year.”

That’s just the way Coxhead wants his players to approach the rest of the season, because the toughest stretch in the schedule to date is still ahead of them.

A regular season-ending stretch that includes games against No. 2 Greater Atlanta Christian, which defeated the Wolves in last year’s state title game, Lovett and a road trip to top-ranked Pace Academy still looms ahead.

So Coxhead has emphasized to the Wolves that the strong start notwithstanding, they still have plenty to prove this season.

“We haven’t had a start like this before, but one of the things I have tried to repeat to this team is don’t think too highly of yourselves than you ought to think,” Coxhead said.

“You get a big head, and somebody’s going to pop it for you.”

Archer’s Jackson wins national title

By Will Hammock

ning Tuesday night, lifting Georgia State to a 4-1, walk-off win over Savannah State.

Hood, a junior transfer from Walters State Community College (Tenn.), is hitting over .400 with 12 doubles this season. The home run was his first as a Panther.

will.hammock@ gwinnettdailypost.com

For a short time last Friday, Eboni Jackson thought she finished fourth in the all-around at the National Collegiate Gymnastics Association’s championship meet.

By the time she made it to a post-meet dinner, her coach at Winona State (Minn.) broke the good news. The Archer grad was the NCGA champion at the national meet for NCAA Division III gymnastics, finishing in first instead of fourth after officials caught a scoring error. She returned the next day for event finals and lined up on the podium a second time, this time standing on top as the national champion in the all-around.

Jackson’s all-around score of 38.8 broke the school and NCGA meet records and her vault of 9.725 tied a school mark.

She also had a 9.75 on floor, a 9.725 on beam and a 9.6 on bars.

“I’m still pretty much in shock,” Jackson said.

Winona State finished fourth as a team, posting a score of 191.650 that broke the previous school record set in 2002.

“Gymnastics is mostly a team sport, so I’m really happy our team did well,” Jackson said. “I’m happy the team broke records and I broke records, but I feel like it wouldn’t have been as fun if the team didn’t do well.”

Jackson wasn’t through after the all-around, earning her second AllAmerican honor in the event finals with a score of 9.825 on beam. It was

Another rally sends Collins Hill past Mill Creek 6-3 and the eight come-frombehind win overall.

“It seems like every game, we’re behind,” SUWANEE — If there’s Collins Hill coach Daniel one thing Collins Hill Warzon said. “It’s a handbaseball fans have learned ful of times.

Matthew Lewis answered Mark Flores’ RBI single with a sacrifice fly to put the Hawks back in front 2-1 in the third, Topoleski (3-0) settled down.

After allowing just the one run after loading the bases with nobody out in the third, he retired nine of the final 10 Mill Creek hitters he saw, though it didn’t seem like it would be enough, as Hawks starter Jay Pendley (1-2) was equally gritty throughout his six-plus innings of work.

But in the bottom of the fourth, the Mill Creek defense began to hit a rough patch.

A throwing error on Flores’ infield grounder kept the inning alive, as did another error when Nasim Nunez’s two-out single

was overrun in the outfield to allow Flores to come home and pull Collins Hill even at 2-2.

After William Holland walked, Alec Cargin sent a sinking line drive to center that Buchanan attempted to make a diving catch on, but couldn’t corral, allowing both runners to score and Cargin to stand on second with a two-run double.

Because of the previous errors, all three runs in the inning were unearned, but they counted just the same and gave the Eagles a 6-3 lead.

“That’s what good teams do,” Mill Creek coach Doug Jones said. “When you give people extra opportunities, especially in this region, you’re going to get your feelings hurt.”

An RBI single by Grant

Bonner and a wild pitch in the bottom of the sixth ended up giving Collins Hill a little more breathing room at 6-2 and ended the night for Pendley, who scattered six hits and three earned runs while striking out five on the evening.

Those extra runs would come in handy after Jordan Adcox, who set down Mill Creek in order in the sixth, walked Steven Kirk and Pendley to lead off the seventh, which brought Ryan Jones out of the Collins Hill bullpen.

After the senior struck out Cameron Turley for the first out, Davis Sharp sent a single into center field to bring home Kirk and pull the Hawks to within 6-3.

But Jones induced Lewis to hit a grounder to second, which the Eagles

infield turned into a 4-6-3 double play to give the sidewinding right-hander his first save of the season and make a winner out of Topoleski, who gave up six hits and just one earned run and struck out seven in five innings. “(Topoleski) didn’t get discouraged. He stayed in the game,” Warzon said. “Jordan came in and gave us a solid inning (in the sixth). Then when he struggled with some control issues (in the seventh), we went with Ryan Jones and he came in and threw strikes.”

Flores finished the day 2-for-3 with a stolen base, the RBI and two runs scored to lead the Collins Hill offense, while Turley was 2-for-4 on the afternoon for Mill Creek.
