DULUTH — After an elegant evening of celebration and awards, Gwinnett Medical Center Foundation’s Cornerstone Society MORE ONLINE Gala ended in laughter.

Visit gwinnettdailypost.com for photos from the gala.

There was hardly a straight face in the house after Seth Meyers took the stage and greeted the blacktie crowd.

“I don’t know if you’ve been enjoying the presidential election as much as I have,” Meyers said. “As a comedian, it’s been a fantastic time. It has been a boom time to be a comedian.”

From there Meyers, who hosts “Late Night With Seth Meyers” on NBC, delivered a speech filled with jokes, quips, personal anecdotes and a laughter-inducing impression of Matthew McConaughey.

In recent months, authorities have made myriad allegations of crime and corruption in Georgia prisons: guards smuggling all manner of contraband and helping purported drug traffickers, inmates with cellphones running scams against unsuspecting prey on the outside.

But the case of Hancock State Prison inmate Gordon Anthony Evans would appear to be the worst.

The purported gang member is accused of Gordon Anthony helping plan the murder Evans of a young man who was gunned down near Lawrenceville in November, officials confirmed this week.

“The evidence will show that Evans was heavily involved in the gang and the murder plot while in prison,” said Dan Mayfield, chief assistant Gwinnett County district attorney.

Charged with murder on Feb. 12, Evans, a 34-year-old who’s been in state prison a decade, and co-defendant Dossie Davon Dossie Davon Mann, Mann 19, of Norcross, arrived at the county jail this week. Mann is accused of firing the shots that killed Jeffery A.J. “Brook” Anderson, 25, of Suwanee.

Apparently through party to a crime statutes, Evans is facing the same charges although he was in the Sparta prison at the time of the shooting.

Authorities have been tight-lipped about the case so far, releasing no motive as to why Anderson, a Rooms To Go warehouse worker and father of a toddler, would be the subject of a hit.

Mayfield said new information would come out in the preliminary hearing for the suspects. It’s set for Wednesday at 1:30 p.m.

“This is going to be a case with public interest, particularly with the recent (Georgia Department of Corrections) arrests for corruption and smuggling,” he said.

By Katie Morris

katie.morris @gwinnettdailypost.com

A selection of bands including 1990s sensations Blues Traveler and Third Eye Blind will be taking the Bowl at Sugar Hill stage this summer.

The city recently released the lineup for its Sweet Life Concert Series that will kick off May 28 at Sugar Hill’s ampitheatre The Bowl, which has been going through improvements in preparation for the series.

“I’m so excited about the lineup our staff has put together for this year,” Council Member Curtis Northrup said in a release.

“Come see why The Bowl was voted Best in Gwinnett. With the improvements we’re making, it should be even better for these shows. I’ll be there, enjoying every minute.”

The season’s opening concert will feature Grammy Award-winning musicians The Mavericks on May 28 performing their mix of classic country, cow-punk and standards.

Blues Traveler, best known for its Grammywinning pop hit “Run Around” in the ’90s, will perform June 11. The band’s sound spans an array of genres including Southern rock, blues rock, soul and folk.

Grammy Award-winning band Kool and the Gang will bring a mix of American jazz, R&B, soul, funk and disco to the Bowl stage July 16. The band’s No. 1 hit “Celebration,” released in the 1980s, went on to become an international

Recurrent TIAs a cause for concern DEAR DR. ROACH: I have a 69-year-old woman friend who has been having TIAs for over a year.

She averages one a week.

Doctors are puzzled. They last 15 to 20 minutes, with drooling and numbness on the left side. I am very worried about what is going to happen. Is this normal for an older person? Aren’t TIAs a prelude to a major stroke? What do you think should be done?

— Anon.

ANSWER: A transient ischemic attack is a temporary loss of function of the nervous system. It is similar to a stroke, but a stroke causes permanent damage to cells of the nervous system. (In a stroke, symptoms may improve despite permanent damage, and this is due to the nervous system’s ability to find new ways to perform the functions of damaged areas.) A TIA is worrisome in itself, since even a brief episode of poor blood flow to the brain may cause permanent damage. However, TIAs are worrisome also because they predict a higher likelihood of developing a stroke, which can range from minor damage to catastrophic loss of brain function and death.

TIAs and strokes unfortunately are all too common, but I would never characterize them as normal. A TIA should be looked at as an emergency: One colleague of mine said it’s “chest pain of the brain,” and people with TIAs should be rapidly evaluated. The evaluation can be complex but generally includes imaging studies of the brain, usually an MRI or CT scan, and an evaluation of the blood flow to the brain by MRA, CTA or ultrasonography.

Often, the blood vessels of the neck and chest need evaluation, as does the heart itself; it can send blood clots to the brain, causing recurrent TIA. Abnormal heart rhythm, such as atrial fibrillation, can be a cause for TIA. I don’t know how extensive the evaluation of your friend has been thus far.

If she already has had an extensive workup done, it is reasonable to consider some less-common possibilities. Sometimes seizures can appear clinically similar to TIAs, as can multiple sclerosis and other related conditions.

If your friend would like, perhaps you could accompany her to her next visit, so you can get a better idea of how thorough her medical team has been, and consider a fresh look.

Continued TIAs are very worrisome to me.

Dr. Roach regrets that he is unable to answer individual letters, but will incorporate them in the column whenever possible.

the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus at the Infinite Energy Arena. The private, sensory-focused event, hosted by Gas South, is designed specifically for children and young adults with special needs, like 23-year-old Kayla, who has a developmental delay.

“Anticipation is great,” said Jay, an Auburn city councilman. “Any event, we took her on a cruise last fall, birthdays — if she knows we’re going to a movie or any type of large activity or event that she knows we’re going to be doing, she gets very anticipatory and excited leading up to that.”

Kayla was most eager to have the opportunity mingle with the clowns of Ringling’s famous Clown Alley.

“I’m mostly excited about learning how to juggle,” Kayla said.

The Auburn family joined around 200 local families at the private

Medicaid, PeachCare contract in limbo

Dear Curtis: We have reluctantly decided that it is best for our parents and us as constant caregivers to place our parents in assisted living. Any thoughts on how to make this as painless and easy as possible?

Gloria in Suwanee Dear Gloria, Very few people want to put their parents in assisted living, but it does become necessary as their mental and physical health decline.

Additionally, for the sake of the caregivers’s sanity, it is the only option.

Some suggestions .....

By Andy Miller

Georgia Health News

Last fall, three losing bidders filed a protest over the state’s selection of vendors for a multibillion-dollar Medicaid and PeachCare contract.

More than four months

later, the state review of those protests still has not been concluded.

The new contract originally was set to start this July, but now the state’s Department of Community Health, which runs Medicaid and PeachCare in Georgia, says it will be

Plan ahead. Do your homework and due diligence on facilities that meet, and will continue to meet their needs. You only want to move them once.

Visit Often. Call and visit often during the first few weeks. Encourage their friends to do so. In unfamiliar surroundings, this can work wonders for raising spirits and making their new world easier to adapt to. Most importantly, your folks won’t feel abandoned and forgotten.

Make it Feel Like Home. Parting with familiar furniture, keepsakes accumulated over a lifetime is wrenching emotionally to say the least.

Plan to bring a favorite chair, family photos, a familiar bedspread or comforter, treasured knicknacks. Check with the place that rules on what can be brought.

Organize Their New Surroundings. Make sure they know where things are. They will feel much more in control if it is easy for them to find what they need. Talk to staff about where things should be kept.

Get them involved. Introduce yourself and your parents to other residents and ask the staff to do the same. Read the activity schedule and choose a couple of programs or activities that will give them the chance to meet their new neighbors. Make sure they have a place at the table with the others during mealtime.

Stay Positive. It is hard, if not traumatic to move parents out of a home of many years and into an ‘old folks home’. It is the end of an era for family and their loved ones. Even though you may feel these strong emotions. This transition is even harder on them and they need all the positive reinforcement and support you can give them.

partnering with Feld Entertainment, Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey and the Metro Atlanta Mayors Association.

special needs social activity clubs, and since Jay is retired, the two are able to spend a lot of time together. Over the years, the Riemenschneiders have met families with specialneeds children who are living in a variety of situations, from single-parent households to households with two parents both working full-time jobs.

Jay said the pre-show event provides a place for families who are experiencing similar challenges in life to come together and share their experiences.

“This a great opportunity to come escape from that burden, if you will,” Jay said, “and just interact with other parents that have similar situations where maybe it will relieve some of that burden at a time where they can just enjoy the circus and the different acts and just get away from the heaviness of their every day lives.”

The choice of a lawyer is an important decision and should not be based solely upon advertisement

Jan. 1, 2017, at the earliest.

Four companies — Amerigroup, Peach State, WellCare and CareSource — were picked in September as winners of the contract to serve lower-income adults and children in Georgia.

But unsuccessful bidders Americhoice (a unit of UnitedHealthcare), Humana and AmeriHealth Caritas quickly appealed that decision by the Department of Administrative Services, which handles contracting in Georgia.

The contract for the “Care Management Organizations’’ is worth an estimated $4 billion over six years.

The three incumbent companies, Amerigroup, Peach State and WellCare, will continue to deliver services under an extension of the current contract.

A spokesman for Administrative Services said Friday that agency officials “anticipate a decision (on the protests) will be posted by the end of the

month.”

A pay increase of 4.76 percent on average for those current insurers is pending federal approval.

That increase will cover pay hikes for primary care doctors and ob/gyns approved a year ago, along with spending for higher claims.

Big state contracts involve a lot of money, so protests by unsuccessful bidders are not unusual.

The CMO contract is one of the biggest.

The protesting companies have called for the current contract award to be halted and that a new evaluation take place.

Community Health, through a spokesman, declined comment Friday on the appeals process.

In their protests, Americhoice and AmeriHealth Caritas each said Community Health changed the committee analyzing the bids in the middle of the evaluation process, GHN reported last year.

Attorneys for Americhoice said the scoring of the bids was “arbitrary and inconsistent.’’

PAGE 7 A • SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 2016

High court fight is only about power WASHINGTON — Let’s understand something about the fight to fill the Supreme Court seat of Antonin (“Nino”) Scalia. This is about nothing but raw power. Any appeal you hear to high principle is phony — brazenly, embarrassingly so.

In Year Seven of the George W. Bush administration, Sen. Chuck Schumer publicly opposed filling any Supreme Court vacancy until Bush left office. (“Except in extraordinary circumstances.” None such arose. Surprise!)

Today he piously denounces Republicans for doing exactly the same for a vacancy created in Year Eight Charles of Barack Obama.

Republicans, say Krauthammer the Democrats, owe the president deference. Elections have consequences and Obama won re-election in 2012.

Yes. And the Republicans won the Senate in 2014 — if anything, a more proximal assertion of popular will. And both have equal standing in appointing a Supreme Court justice.

It’s hard to swallow demands for deference from a party that for seven years has cheered Obama’s serial constitutional depredations: His rewriting the immigration laws by executive order (stayed by the courts); his reordering the energy economy by regulation (stayed by the courts); his enacting the nuclear deal with Iran, the most important treaty of this generation, without the required two-thirds of the Senate (by declaring it an executive agreement).

Minority Leader Harry Reid complains about the Senate violating precedent if it refuses a lameduck nominee. This is rich. It is Reid who just two years ago overthrew all precedent by abolishing the filibuster for most judicial and high executive appointments. In the name of what grand constitutional principle did Reid resort to a parliamentary maneuver so precedent-shattering that it was called the nuclear option? None. He did it in order to pack the U. S. Circuit Court for the District of Columbia with liberals who would reliably deflect challenges to Obamacare.

On Tuesday, Obama loftily called upon Congress to rise above ideology and partisanship in approving his nominee. When asked how he could square that with his 2006 support of a filibuster to stop the appointment of Samuel Alito, Obama replied with a four-minute word salad signifying nothing. There is no answer. It was situational constitutional principle, i.e., transparent hypocrisy.

As I said, this is all about raw power. When the Democrats had it, they used it. The Republicans are today wholly justified in saying they will not allow this outgoing president to overturn the balance of the Supreme Court. The matter should be decided by the coming election. Does anyone doubt that Democrats would be saying exactly that if the circumstances were reversed?

Which makes this Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell’s moment. He and his cohorts have taken a lot of abuse from “anti-establishment” candidates and media for not using their congressional majorities to repeal Obamacare, defund Planned Parenthood, block executive orders, etc.

What was the 2014 election about, they say? We won and got nothing. We were lied to and betrayed by a corrupt leadership beholden to the “Washington cartel.”

As it happens, under our Madisonian Constitution, the opposition party cannot govern without the acquiescence of the president, which it will not get, or a two-thirds majority of the Congress, which it does not have.

But no matter. Things are different now. Appointing a Supreme Court justice is a two-key operation. The president proposes, the Senate disposes. There is no reason McConnell cannot hold the line. And he must. The stakes here — a radical generation-long reversal of direction of the Supreme Court — are the highest this Senate will ever face.

If McConnell succeeds, he will have resoundingly answered the “what did we get for 2014?” question. Imagine if the Senate were now in Democratic hands. What we got in 2014 was the power to hold on to Scalia’s seat and to the court’s conservative majority.

But only for now. Blocking an Obama nominee buys just a year. The final outcome depends on November 2016. If the GOP nominates an unelectable or unconservative candidate, a McConnell victory will be nothing more than a stay of execution.

In 2012, Scalia averred that he would not retire until there was a more ideologically congenial president in the White House. “I would not like to be replaced,” he explained, “by someone who immediately sets about undoing everything that I’ve tried to do for 25 years.”

Scalia never got to choose the timing of his leaving office. Those who value the legacy of those now-30 years will determine whether his last wish will be vindicated. Let McConnell do his thing.

Then in November it’s for us to win one for Nino.

The value of a good sidekick Everybody always talks about their favorite TV and movie cowboys like Roy Rogers and Marshall Dillon. After all, they were the stars of the show. But a lot of the entertainment value, in those old westerns was provided by the sidekicks.

Someone asked me how you knew the difference in the lead guy and the sidekick. That person obviously had not watched many westerns. You would never mistake Pat Brady for Roy Rogers — or Nelly Belle for Trigger as far as that goes.

But that doesn’t mean the sidekicks weren’t important, or stars in their own right.

I wonder how many of them you can recall. We have mentioned Matt Dillon and if you remember the classic series, “Gunsmoke,” you recall that Marshall Dillon had two different ones over the course of the show’s tenure. Neither was named Miss Kitty. She was a girlfriend, and it’s not the same thing.

Matt Dillon had Chester, played by Dennis Weaver, who eventually lost his limp, moved to Taos, N.M., and became Marshall Sam McCloud. He also had Festus Hagan, who rode a mule named Ruth and was a might more ornery than Chester. I loved watching each in different ways. I particularly enjoyed Chester’s banter with Doc Adams, but if things got rough and tumble I would

Native American sidekick today. Tonto, played by Jay Silverheels, was one of my favorite characters on television when I was a kid. Hewas always going into town to sniff out important information and he was always getting caught and getting the snot beat out of him, which didn’t keep him Darrell Huckaby from being loyal to his friend, whom he called “Kemosabe.”

If I had a sidekick I would rather have Festus backing me definitely want him to be as up. loyal as Tonto.

OK. Now we are going way Andy Devine. Now there’s back, but I wonder if there is a blast from the past. I bet you anybody around who remem- haven’t thought about him in bers the Cisco Kid? Even if a month of Sundays, but he you do, I bet you don’t recall played the rather portly cowthat Duncan Renaldo played boy, Jingles Jones, who rode the title role. “The Kid” was a with Wild Bill Hickok on both desperado, wanted by the law radio and television. His voice for unspecified crimes, but always seemed to have a frog was sort of a romantic Robin in it, and I liked watching him Hood figure in the show who as much, or maybe even more, was good at heart. Honesty than Wild Bill himself. One of compels me to admit that I the highlights of my childhood don’t recall the name of the was when Andy Devine came actor who played his sidekick, to Porterdale School and put Poncho, but I do remember on a show in which he did rope that at the end of the show they tricks and told stories about would smile at one another and being a television cowboy. I say, “Oh, Cisco!” and “Oh, got to go up on stage and be Poncho!” and then ride off one of the kids he threw a lasso into the sunset until the next over and got a black-and-white week — or the next afternoon 8 by 10 glossy of him for my after the show had become troubles. syndicated.

Duke himself, in many movies. He always seemed to play a bewhiskered old coot who added comic relief to whatever show he was playing in, and was one of the few sidekicks who could carry a movie all by himself.

There were others, of course. Gene Autry had Smiley Burnett and also Pat Buttrum, and Walter Brennan played the role in many movies with various lead actors.

The Rifleman, Lucas McCain, had his son, Mark.

Then there were those who rode alone. Paladin, played

by Richard Boone, was never encumbered by a traveling companion, and neither was Rowdy Yates, the character that gave Clint Eastwood his start.

In case you are wondering what brought all this on, the answer is nothing, really. I just thought it might be fun to escape for a few minutes and remember those thrilling days of yesteryear when the good guys all wore white hats and there were fewer shades of gray than we face as we approach a decision on which candidates are going to represent which parties in the upcoming election.

I hope we can make a wise decision, and if we can’t have a John Wayne as president, at least maybe we can have one with a good sidekick.

Don’t you agree, Kemosabe?

Teachers, keep an eye on the legislature An alert to Georgia public school teachers: Keep a close watch on these two legislators.

First, Jan Jones, R-Milton, speaker pro tem in the House of Representatives, evidently isn’t buying a report from State School Superintendent Richard Wood and the Georgia Department of Education that shows 44 percent of new teachers leave the profession within five years and that two out of three teachers surveyed said they were unlikely or very unlikely to recommend teaching as a profession.

Jones observed that teachers leaving the classroom is simply a “natural post-recession workforce adjustment.” This is the same Jan Jones who opined a few years back that when adjusted for the cost of living, Georgia teachers rank “first in the nation in teacher salary and benefits.” Not surprisingly, her assertions were proven to be false. …

Not to be outdone by Jones’ latest snipe, State Sen. Hunter Hill, R-Smyrna, says current public education policy is “unfair” because the wealthy pay taxes to fund public education “and get no benefit for it.” No benefit?

What a slap in the face to the many public school graduates who are making a significant contribution to the lives of the wealthy as well as to the rest of us, not to mention the teachers that have influenced

Dick Yarbrough them. I would suggest that Jones and Hill deign to spend a few weeks in a classroom before casting any more stones at our public schools. …

I find it interesting that Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders is seeking the Democratic nomination for president and is being touted as an antiestablishment candidate by his supporters. I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but he IS the establishment. Sanders has been in Congress for 25 years, first as a member of the House of Representatives beginning in 1991and then as a U.S. senator since 2007. How much more “establishment” can you be? …

Should customers of Georgia Power Company be responsible for construction costs at the company’s Plant Vogtle nuclear power units? In 2009, the Legislature allowed the utility to add a surcharge on customers’ bills, which today amounts to roughly $81 annually on a

typical residential customer’s bill. The facility, located near Augusta, is some three years behind schedule and roughly $3 billion over budget. And that’s the ratepayers’ fault? A lot of people think the costs should be borne by shareholders instead. Seven-year-old tycoon, Cameron Charles Yarbrough is a shareholder in the Southern Company, Georgia Power’s parent company.

I haven’t discussed this issue with him yet. He hates to talk business while watching his favorite Minions movie… .

My interest in professional football is exceeded only by my passion for 18th century Lithuanian literature, but I found Carolina quarterback Cam Newton’s behavior in his Super Bowl postgame press conference somewhere between low-class and no-class, what with his monosyllabic answers while sulking under his hoodie and then stalking out of the room like a petulant child minutes later. He didn’t seem to have a problem regaling us with his Superman shtick during the regular season while his team was winning. Perhaps the Denver Broncos stole his kryptonite while kicking his fanny all over Santa Clara. …

The so-called SEC primary is upon us and is our opportunity to state our preference for any of the Democratic or Republican presidential

candidates. If none of them particularly float your boat, that is no excuse to not vote.

Also, spare me the “my vote won’t make a difference.” Of course, it does and voting is a privilege not available to a lot of people in this world.

Promise me if you decide not to vote that I don’t hear from you about how the country is going to hell in a wheelbarrow. You don’t vote, you don’t have the right to complain — at least not in this space. …

Finally, two of the newspapers for whom I am privileged to write are celebrating significant birthdays this year. The Marietta Daily Journal turns 150 and the Donalsonville News just passed the century mark. Congratulations to both. There will always be a need for local newspapers in our lives whether in print, on the Internet or both. Where else can you find in one place information on school board meetings, road closings, Little League results and local political doings? Not to mention a highly-entertaining and wise-beyond-his-years columnist who thinks spell check is something you cash at the 7-11.

Another factor in the move to transfer Rest Haven’s property to Buford is the look of the little city’s stretch of Buford Highway.

Both sides of the highway on that one-mile strip are lined with landscaping businesses and used car dealerships that have cars parked on grass instead of pavement line Buford Highway in the city. Midway down that strip, on the side that is still Rest Haven, there is a dilapidated home that is collapsing in on itself.

“It just doesn’t look like the rest of Gwinnett County,” Unterman said.

But for now, the clock is ticking down on what could be Rest Haven’s final months, and if everything goes smoothly, the city could even be gone by the end of this summer.

That might go against the trend of city incorporation, but it doesn’t seem to bother Waycaster. After all, Rest Haven isn’t like other places.

“Most everybody who wants to become a city is someplace large, they’re not small like we are,” he said.

Trump, who has also advocated a ban on Muslim immigrants to counter domestic terror threats, stirred fresh controversy on Friday when he told a crowd about a U.S. general who was said to have dipped bullets in pigs’ blood to kill Muslim prisoners a century ago.

At Scalia funeral, court battle in recess

By Idrees Ali Reuters

WASHINGTON — U.S. Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia’s memorial service on Saturday provided a brief respite for official Washington from the fierce battle over his succession, with political and legal leaders and many others in attendance.

At the blue-domed Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception, the nation’s largest Catholic church, dozens of priests took part in the funeral Mass, led by one of the justice’s nine children, theRev. Paul Scalia.

More than 3,000 people looked on, including other family members, the court’s remaining eight justices, lawmakers, Vice President Joseph Biden and former Vice President Dick Cheney.

“God blessed Dad with a deep Catholic faith,” the younger Scalia told the gathering inside the cathedral. “He loved the clarity and coherence of the church’s teachings.”

He fondly remembered an outburst one day after his father realized he was waiting for confession at church in a line that would have led him to his son.

The justice jumped out of the line. “‘Like heck if I’m confessing to you,’” the father said later to the son, who remarked: “The feeling was mutual.”

A staunch conservative and the court’s longest-serving member, Justice Scalia died last Saturday at age 79 at a Texas hunting resort, sparking a political struggle that promises to reshape the 2016 election campaigns.

Presidential candidate Ted Cruz, a Republican senator from Texas, was among those at the service. Like other Republicans, he has said that President Barack Obama, a Democrat, should not choose Scalia’s replacement.

Rather, Republicans are saying

no one should be named until after the presidential election in November, hoping that one of their own will be elected and get to choose the next justice.

Under law, the U.S. president is responsible for nominating Supreme Court justices to their lifetime appointments, subject to Senate review and confirmation.

Appointing a justice to the court is one of the biggest decisions a

U.S. president can make. Obama has vowed to select a successor to Scalia.

If he does so, Senate Republicans have threatened to block any nominee put forward H by Obama, a stance likely to become an issue in the presidential race and in election year contests for seats in the Senate and the House of Representatives.

He also pointed moves that have county-wide impacts, such as funding to hire additional public safety workers and a AAA credit rating for the county.

“This is only the beginning,” Brooks added.

“Moving forward, I will continue to put forward aggressive plans for transportation solutions, connectivity and economic development to make Gwinnett County a leader not only in the state but also across the nation.”

Candidate qualifying for local offices, including county and legislative seats, will be held the week of March 7. The local partisan primaries will be held May 24.

Brooks’ seat is one of three on the county commission that are up for election this year. Chairwoman Charlotte Nash has already said she plans to seek re-election, and has a challenger on the Democratic side in Jack Snyder.

District 3 Commissioner Tommy Hunter is also up for re-election.

If elected, she said she plans to be a model of “Responsible Leadership” using “sensible, yet limited, governance policies.”

“Representative Pak’s shoes will be hard to fill, but those who know me are very much aware that I am up to the challenge and that I am determined to ensure that all of our residents continue to have a strong voice and be well represented in state decisions,” Gabilondo said in a statement.

Gabilondo has also launched a campaign website at pattyg.win. gop, and a social media campaign page on Facebook.

Senate Resolution 1022 uses Article V of the Constitution as the basis of its call for a convention.

The article allows for an amendment convention to be called if two-thirds of the state legislatures from across the country apply for it.

Any proposed amendments that come out of the convention would still need to be passed by twothirds of the states before they can become part of the Constitution. “(A) continuous and growing concern has been expressed that the best interests of the nation will be served by limiting the terms of members of the United States House of Representatives and United States Senate,” the resolution states.

Pak won’t seek re-election after legislative term

By Curt Yeomans

curt.yeomans @gwinnettdailypost.com

Lilburn residents will be sending a new person to Atlanta to represent them in the Georgia General Assembly, starting next January.

State B.J. Pak Rep. B.J. Pak, R-Lilburn, announced on his Facebook page this past week that he will not run for reelection this year, after three terms representing House District 108. While the announcement may be a shock for some people, for Pak, a former federal prosecutor, it’s a chance to fulfill a promise he made when he ran for his first term in 2010.

“When I came back into public service in this role (six) years ago, I made a promise to myself, my family and my friends that I will give it my all during my time here, and that I would return to being a citizen after a few terms,” Pak wrote. “I am fulfilling that promise.”

Pak, who came to America with his family when he was 9, broke new ground for people of Korean descent in Georgia when he was elected in 2010, becoming the first Korean-American to be elected to the General Assembly, according to his legislative biography.

Former National Korean American Federation Chairman Sunny Park called Pak a “role model to many” in a response to the legislator’s announcement.

“Thank you for your time serving the state while sacrificing your valuable personal and professional time,” Park wrote. “You influenced so many future leaders in (the) Asian American community positively.”

Pak has held key positions in the Legislature over the years, including a deputy majority whip position and a seat on the House Ways and Means committee. Within that committee, he has served as the vicechairman of its Income Tax subcommittee and sits on the Sales and Use Tax and Public Finance and Policy subcommittees.

His other committee appointments have included vicechairman of the House Judiciary Non-

Civil Committee, secretary of the Code Revision Committee and a member of the Health and Human Services committee.

Other special appointments have come along as well over the years, including a position on Gov. Nathan Deal’s criminal justice reform council and Judicial Nominating Committee, the Public Defender Standards Council Legislative Oversight Committee and the National Conference of State Legislators’ Law and Criminal Justice Committee.

Georgia Trend Magazine has named him to its “40 Under 40” list of influential young Georgians, while James Magazine has called him one of the state’s most influential legislators. He’s picked up other awards over the years, including the American Conservative Union’s Defender of Liberty award and a Business Champion award from the Georgia Chamber of Commerce.

Countless constituents, friends, Gwinnett commissioners, Georgia Labor Commissioner Mark Butler and fellow legislators responded to Pak’s announcement by thanking him for serving in the General Assembly.

Some well-wishers told him they were proud that he had represented them in the House, while others called him a “Great American.”

State Rep. Buzz Brockway, R-Lawrenceville, called working with Pak “an honor” while State Sen. P.K. Martin, R-Lawrenceville, said he hated to hear the news. Rep. Bill Hitchens, R-Rincon, praised his colleague for “your keen legal mind and your unbridled enthusiasm for public service.”

Rep. Matt Ramsey, R-Peachtree City, praised way in which Pak has represented his constituents.

“You have been a strong voice for your community and carried out your duties with integrity,” Ramsey wrote on Pak’s Facebook page.

In his announcement, Pak thanked constituents, his wife, Sandra, and their three young daughters for supporting him during his time in the Legislature.

“As I finish out my term, I sincerely hope that my efforts in the General Assembly will be remembered as making a positive difference for our beloved state,” Pak wrote.

Those selections will be honored with a May 6 induction dinner, which includes Smart as the featured speaker, at the Infinite Energy Center’s Grand Ballroom. Tickets and sponsorship opportunities are available for the event, a fundraiser for the Gwinnett County Public Schools

Foundation.

“It’s hard to believe that this is our seventh Hall of Fame celebration,” said David Seago, president of the foundation’s executive committee. “Not only do we have another great class to induct, but we also have Coach Kirby Smart to deliver our keynote message.

I sincerely want to thank the Gwinnett community that has come together to make this event so successful.”

With this year’s class, a total of 41 people have been inducted into the hall since it was introduced in 2010.

It initially was hosted at Coolray Field, but grew into a much larger banquet in recent years.

When college football coaches get back on the recruiting trail this spring during the evaluation period, Gwinnett County’s field houses will again be some of the busiest in the nation.

The area has sent a plethora of prospects on to play Division I football the last several season, but the Class of 2017 may contain the most blue-chip recruits ever for Gwinnett.

In Rivals.com’s latest rankings, 21 of the top 75 junior players in Georgia are from Gwinnett schools — in 247sports. com’s rankings Gwinnett has 14 of the top 75 — and that’s with Ohio State commit Isaiah Pryor transferring to Florida’s IMG Academy from Archer. In the class of 2016 Gwinnett had 15 and 14 in 2015 in Rivals’ top 75 players in the state.

Grayson leads the way with five players on the list. Deangelo Gibbs — a recent Peachtree Ridge transfer — is ranked the top player in the state by 247sports.com and Scout.com, while Rivals.com ranks him sixth.

“Breon Dixon, Deangelo Gibbs, Will Taylor, Jaylen Jackson, Elijah Shah, Jaylen Fleming and so many more. It’s great that they want to be a part of such a great program.

I know everyone is pumped for the season and to be able to play against superb competition early in the season will help us out a ton for the regular season.”

McEachern rolls to 70-49 win over Berkmar

By Chris Stephens Staff Correspondent

POWDER SPRINGS — It started as a close game, but McEachern continued to stretch its lead each quarter, finishing with a 70-49 win over Berkmar in the second round of the Class AAAAAA boys basketball tournament.

The Patriots didn’t get blown out of the water in

any quarter, but deficits of five, five, four and seven in each quarter amounted to the 21-point loss.

“Our guys didn’t quit tonight and I’m proud of their effort,” Berkmar head coach Greg Phillips said. “They kept battling.”

Berkmar looked to hold its own early in the first quarter as it jumped out to a 10-6 lead thanks to Zach Cooks and Jay

Estime. But McEachern finally found its groove midway through the first quarter and ended with a 15-10 lead.

“We got stops early and didn’t let them get set in their defense,” Phillips said.

“When they made their shots, it allowed them to get their defense set.”

The Indians got things going right away in the second quarter, gaining momentum on

an offensive rebound and dunk

by Bryce Smith just a minute into the period. From there, McEachern got out and ran.

Clay Crooms’ fast-break layup made it 21-12 and a 3-pointer by Darius Jones put the Indians up by 12.

Archer girls overwhlemed by McEachern 87-49

POWDER SPRINGS — Hot shooting, defense, ball movement and just plain energy — you name it, McEachern had more of it than Archer in its secondround Class AAAAAA girls state tournament game.

The host Indians showed why they are the two-time defending state champions by running out to a 14-point lead after one quarter and never looking back in an 87-49 win Saturday night at Lovinggood Gymnasium.

McEachern (22-7) forced 34 turnovers, connected on 10 shots from 3-point range — half of them from Chanel Wilson, who finished with a game-high 25 points — and seemed to just do everything right in beating the Tigers (25-5) in the tournament for the third straight season.

“It’s just a disappointing way to end the season,” Archer coach Ryan Lesniak said. “(McEachern) ran the floor well, and we didn’t capitalize on some opportunities. But at no point would I ever point the finger

at these kids. After we lost all (the players) we lost last year, nobody expected us to win 25 ball games. Nobody expected us to go undefeated through the regular season region (8-AAAAAA) play.

“We put ourselves in this situation by not winning the region (tournament) and having to come through this side of the bracket. That’s disheartening, but we’ll get after it in this offseason.”

True, the Tigers didn’t help themselves with all the turnovers and failing to convert on just 10 of 26 free throws after working so hard to get to the line more than twice as many times as McEachern did.

But from the outset, the Indians looked one step quicker than Archer, running down seemingly every loose ball and outbattling the Tigers for several secondchance opportunities after missed shots on the offensive end.

“That’s what we worked on,” McEachern coach Phyllis Arthur said. “We worked Archer’s Autumn Newby (24) looks to shoot against McEachon diving on the court for ern’s Chanel Wilson (11) during the first half of Saturday’s Class loose balls. We worked on

NASCAR SPRINT CUP: DAYTONA 500, TODAY, 1 P.M. (FOX)

Johnson will use backup No. 48

By Reid Spencer The Sports Xchange

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — Jimmie Johnson is down to his last car.

That’s the bad news. A last-lap wreck in Thursday’s second Can-Am Duel 150-mile qualifying races destroyed Johnson’s primary No. 48 Chevrolet and forced him to a backup car for Sunday’s Daytona 500 (on FOX at 1 p.m. ET).

But fans of the six-time NASCAR Sprint Cup Series champion can take heart in Johnson’s performance in Friday’s practice sessions.

The backup No. 48 Chevy was actually faster in singlecar runs than the primary car in Thursday’s practice.

True, the wind was blowing in a different direction at Daytona International Speedway, but Johnson ran 194.083 mph in Friday’s opening session and backed

that up with a lap at 194.250 mph in the second practice of the day.

“We’re minimizing risk, because that’s our last car,” Johnson said of the single-car runs, as his team

was replacing his engine with the one he will use in Sunday’s race. “If something happened in one of the practice sessions, we’d be going to a teammate or somebody, trying to use

one of their backups and then put a wrap over the top of it.

“That’s just a world we don’t want to be in. We get a lot of experience in the draft through all the races that take place, and it’s just something that … we’ve done enough, and we know what our race-time adjustments need to be and the balance that I’m looking for. So for us, it’s just business as usual, and it gives everybody else something to talk about.”

Johnson said the change in wind direction made it difficult to compare the primary and backup cars, but he described the backup as “very comfortable.”

“I think we finished second with it at Talladega last year (in the spring race). … We didn’t want to lose that race car last night, but things are going good with this one.”

Tyler Taylor and Juwuan Jones have all received offers from Power 5 schools already.

The Central Gwinnett duo of offensive tackle Tony Gray and defensive tackle Emmanuel McNeil (a Riverside Military Academy transfer) have received offers from several Power 5 programs including Alabama, Florida State, LSU and Ohio State among others. Gray is ranked the No. 9 prospect in the state by Rivals.com and 247sports.com has McNeil at No. 36.

Other players that will be heavily recruited by Power 5 programs include Brookwood’s Leonard Warner, North Gwinnett’s Drew Jordan, South Gwinnett’s Malik Robinson, Peachtree Ridge’s Connor Heyward and Mill Creek’s Tyler Fanin among others.

dual matches. The National Wrestling Hall of Fame member has worked with Greater Atlanta Christian and Mountain View since retiring as a head coach from Collins Hill in 2010.

Emery also is familiar with another of this year’s inductees. Daniels was a star wide receiver at Norcross, racking up 1,237 yards receiving in 1991, and then at Georgia, where he had nearly 2,000 receiving yards and 16 touchdown catches in his career. After a brief NFL career, he kept active in football and was chosen for the United States Flag and Touch Football League Hall of Fame.

Penn was one of the first stars in Gwinnett’s amazing run of women’s basketball talent in the past 20 years. The Meadowcreek grad scored nearly 2,000 points at South Carolina, where she averaged 23.9 points and 8.1 rebounds as a senior. She followed that up by playing in the WNBA — she was the ninth overall

pick in the 2003 WNBA Draft.

Rogers Mayweather is the first Gwinnett hall of famer honored specifically for her accomplishments as a softball player, though she also was a good basketball player during her career at Dacula. Now an elementary school teacher in Gwinnett, she was a four-time softball All-American at Alabama and was just the second player in school history to hit over .400 in three seasons. She also was the fourth player in Southeastern Conference history to total more than 300 hits, 200 runs and 100 stolen bases, leaving the Crimson Tide with the school record for stolen bases (198) and ranking second in batting average (.417), hits (343) and runs (256).

Rogers Mayweather, who is married to fellow Dacula grad and Central Gwinnett boys basketball coach Branden Mayweather, also played for the USA Softball National Team.

ATLANTA — Freshman guard Kyle Sturdivant nailed a 3-pointer from the top of the key to tie the game at 46-46 to start the fourth quarter but ranked Norcross went just 1 of 11 from that point on and lost 61-50 to the Westlake Lions.

The Blue Devils led by as much as seven at the 3:43 mark of the third quarter but the Lions finished off the quarter on 7-2 run including a Raquan Wilkins corner 3-pointer at the buzzer with the game notched at 43-43. The 3-pointer gave the Lions their first lead of the second half and led 46-43 headed into the fourth quarter and never looked back.

Region 7-AAAAAA player of the year Rayshaun Hammonds fouled out at the 6:44 mark of the fourth quarter after shooting just 5 of 11 from the field. Sturdivant finished with a gamehigh 19 points on 6 of 10 shooting including three 3-pointers. He added five steals as well. Junior Lance Thomas finished with 14 points on 5 of 14 shooting and grabbed 10 rebounds to finish with a

a double-double. He had five blocked shots as well.

Westlake shot 41 percent from the field to the Blue Devils’ 36 percent. The game for the Lions was won at the free throw line.

Westlake knocked down 21 free throws to the Blue Devils’ eight including 8 of 11 in the fourth quarter. “The difference of the game was in the fourth quarter when some calls didn’t go our way and Rayshaun fouled out, that’s obviously a big part of what we do,” Norcross head coach Jesse McMillan said. “I felt like we just didn’t execute down the stretch and took some quick shots and couldn’t rebound on the other end.

McMillian made a point to give credit to Westlake for knocking down a ton of free throws and felt that was a big difference maker late in the game.

“Credit to Westlake, they knocked down their free throws down the stretch and they picked up their defensive intensity,” McMillian said.

“Apparently we fouled a lot and they made all of their free throws and in order to come back in a game like this you have to have a little luck and have some guys miss some free throws and they didn’t. “

Norcross took their first lead at the 1:15 mark of the first quarter after Thomas knocked down two free throws to give the Blue Devils a 15-14 lead. Lance finished the first quarter out with 10 points including 2 of 2 from behind the arc. Despite trailing for much of the quarter, Norcross led Westlake 17-16.

The second quarter featured six lead changes and one tie but it was the Blue Devils who held a 5-point advantage heading into halftime. Five steals from the Blue Devils allowed them to build a lead and they took all of the momentum into the third quarter.

The Blue Devils built a seven-point lead at the four-minute mark of the third quarter after two back-to-back spin move layups but the Lions would not go away.

Westlake regained the lead with 47 seconds remaining in the third quarter on a layup from James Lewis and they held a threepoint advantage with one quarter to play. Norcross was ice cold for much of the fourth quarter and walked off the court with high emotions after going down by nine points to the Lions.

ing the outcome of the Norcross-Westlake game.

Defense established the outcome of the Generals’s game.

Using its speed and length to keep North Cobb guessing and moving and passing, but not shooting, the Generals stifled all offensive attempts. And when the Warriors did get a shot, they missed and Shiloh was there for the rebound. But while the defense dominated, Shiloh struggled to find the basket. The Warriors

closed down the paint with their defense and Shiloh, despite multiple attempts in most of its possessions, could not get shots to fall. The Generals scored just four first-quarter points and led just 19-7 at the half.

“We were hesitant on offense,” Rivers said.

“We played a little bit more robotic than normal. We couldn’t get the ball inside at all.”

At the half, Rivers extolled his players to shoot with confidence, to trust that the shots would

fall. They finally did.

Battle hit two of his three 3-pointers in the third quarter and Josh Okogie scored eight of his 13 points as the offense started to come alive.

“I just stayed in my position and kept working hard,” Battle said.

“Coach told me to keep shooting.”

Battled finished with a game-high 14 points.

“Once Perry (Battle) starting hitting those 3s it opened things up for us offensively for us,” Rivers said.

North Cobb kept within range of a run in the third quarter with Myles Lake scoring nine of his 11 points in the quarter. But in the fourth quarter, the Generals defense forced seven turnovers and 3s from Malik Chandler and Tajah Fraley put the game out of reach.

Rivers cleared his bench in the final minutes, taking out his senior starters, including Battle, playing in their last home game at Shiloh.

“I’m going to miss this place,” Battle said.

the University of West Georgia, also got 12 points each from Whidby and Morrison.

Linsey Marchese was one of the few bright spots for Archer on the night, with the 6-4 Indiana commit leading the

Tigers with 20 points.

Still, Archer trailed by just five at 13-8 after Asia McCoy converted a backdoor pass from Autumn Newby with 2:41 left in the first quarter.

But McEachern kicked its game into high gear with strong hustle on the defensive end, and good ball movement and shooting on the offensive end.

Jada Lewis hit a 3-pointer from the left wing to ignite a run of nine straight points on from the 5-foot-8 senior guard on her way to a 22-point, seven-assist night.

Lewis’ surge was also part of an 11-2 run over the final 2:25 of the opening frame to push the Indians’ lead to 2410.

Then after converting from the inside, McEachern took it’s game to the perimeter, with Lyndsey Whidby, Que Morrison and Wilson each connecting from behind the arc during an 11-3 run

over the opening 2:35 of the second quarter to push the lead to 35-13 and eventually taking a 20-point lead into intermission at 41-21.

And Arthur wasn’t about to let her team relax heading into the second half.

“I told them no matter what, don’t let up,” Arthur said. “I told them a halftime we were going to raise our intensity level.”

And the Indians did just that, with Wilson hitting a pair of baskets in the first 45 seconds of the

third quarter to extend the lead out to 45-21, and Archer was never able to seriously challenge again.

BATTLEGROUND? Election could shape county’s role in future

By Curt Yeomans

Gwinnett County will one day be a political battleground, but when that happens could be shaped by this year’s presidential race.

One expert in Georgia politics thinks the way the winds blow Gwinnett County in this year’s presidential election could even set the table for how the two major political parties view the county in Georgia’s 2018 gubernatorial race.

If the eventual Democratic party nominee can keep the election close, or even win the county, in November, University of Georgia professor Charles Bullock said Gwinnett would likely be a key battleground two years from now.

That’s because the county is experiencing a slow political shift from Republican red to Democratic blue. It’s effectively a purple county and, with about half-a-billion registered voters already located in Gwinnett, it’s a prize to be won for both sides.

“This probably won’t be the year (that a Democrat wins Gwinnett), but if it’s close, then that would be a step toward 2018 and probably mean both parties will spend a great deal of time and energy in the county two years from now,” Bullock said.

A purple — or even Democratic — Gwinnett could have statewide implications particularly in statewide races, such as governor or U.S. senator. It could even help make it possible for a Democrat to win the governor’s office in the not-too-distant future.

There’s a key reason why the political affiliation of the next governor will be important: Redistricting of Georgia’s congressional and state legislative seats will take place during that governor’s term. During the last round of redistricting in 2011, Republicans controlled the governor’s mansion and both houses of the General Assembly.

“Winning the governor’s race in 2018 would give Democrats a seat at the table during redistricting,” Bullock said.

At the beginning of the 21st century, Republicans running for president or a statewide office regularly got more than 60 percent of the votes cast in Gwinnett during a general election. During the last few election cycles, however, Republican support has been around 54 percent.

That doesn’t mean the Republicans are ready to roll over and let their counterparts in the Democratic Party take over in the county, though.

After Heidi Cruz visited Lawrenceville in November to campaign for her husband, Sen. Ted Cruz, Gwinnett Republican Party chairman Rich Carithers said Gwinnett still has an attraction to the GOP and remains a prize to be won for the party. “(Gwinnett gets attention from candidates) because of our strong Republican voting base here,” he said. “Even though we’re a county that is in a little bit of a transition, we still have a huge voting block of Republicans that come out for national campaigns.”

Gwinnett isn’t the only formerly solid Republican county in metro Atlanta to be making a shift toward the Democratic party. Bullock said that while Fulton, DeKalb See BATTLEGROUND, Page 2C

said.

It’s not just the presidential election that they are looking at, though. Each party has a candidate running for county commission chairman this year for the first time in several years.

There’s still something at stake in the immediate future, though, as the parties, particularly the Republicans, try to sort out who their nominees will be and whom delegates will go to at the nominating conventions later this year.

Early voting is already underway in Gwinnett for Georgia’s March 1 presidential primaries.

On the Republican side, for example, there are different groups of delegates from Georgia. There are delegates that will represent each of Georgia’s 14 congressional districts, and there will be statewide delegates.

Candidates who finish in the top two spots in a congressional district are eligible to get delegates from that

district, the number based on where they finished. Statewide delegates, however, can only go to candidates who get at least 20 percent of the votes, Bullock said.

“So far, Trump appears to be the only candidate that is guaranteed to get that much of the vote, but maybe Cruz will, or Rubio,” Bullock said.

Gwinnett has found itself in the presidential spotlight at times during this election cycle as Republican campaigns have swung through the state. In addition to Heidi

Cruz’s visit to Lawrenceville, Donald Trump held a rally in Norcross that drew thousands of people back in October.

On the same day that Trump visited the county, Ben Carson came to Lawrenceville for a book signing that drew supporters of his campaign.

The campaigns of Cruz and Sen. Marco Rubio have also been publicly building a network of supporters in Gwinnett over the last few months, and the Trump campaign recently held a series of three organizing meetings across the county.

The Carson campaign also

elections nowadays,” he said.

“When you look at a state the size of Georgia, that’s bigger than Iowa or New Hampshire — the population of Gwinnett almost equals that of Iowa. The trend of this SEC primary will become even more important in the next election cycle after this one.”

But while Gwinnett will be a battleground for Republicans and Democrats in the years to come, Bullock said has a coordinator focused on how much of a battleground it will be in this presidential Gwinnett, Carithers said. election will depend on how During Heidi Cruz’s appearance, Carithers declared things are going outside of its borders. “national politics runs “If the Democratic Party through Gwinnett.”

He added later that part of nominee has 270 (electoral college votes) locked up, the luster for the candidates then they might spend some is Gwinnett’s location in time near the end of the metro Atlanta. The fact that three Republican candidates campaign in Georgia trying to build support for the paid visits to Gwinnett is a future, and Gwinnett could sign of that importance, he be targeted in that case,” said.

And that importance will Bullock said.

“If the nominee doesn’t only grow in the lead up to have 270 locked up, though, the 2020 presidential electhen they’ll devote that time tion, Carithers said. to campaigning in toss-up “I think it shows the importance of metro Atlanta states like Virginia and Wisand what the South means to consin.”

Even Cobb County, another area where Republicans have long enjoyed support, is slowly turning blue, although Bullock said Gwinnett will likely turn first.

“There’s always been that donut hole, so to speak, in the middle of metro Atlanta,” Bullock said in reference to the traditional Democratic base. “Now, that hole is getting bigger.”

And Gwinnett’s Democrats are fighting hard to make that expansion of Democratic Party territory happen sooner rather than later. Gwinnett Democratic Party Chairman Jim Shealey said a key goal right now to is make sure Democratic voices are heard locally.

Like their Republican counterparts, the local Democrat party has not announced an endorsement for any candidate in the primary but instead is focusing its energy on getting as many votes as possible for their party’s nominee in November. The group has begun holding regular phone banks in an effort to start building up support for Democratic candidates in this year’s elections.

Norcross High receives $15K for after-school program An after-school program at Norcross High School recently received a $15,000 grant from Breakthrough Norcross to improve graduation rates for high school students. The money will be used for programs tailored toward ninth-graders to improve

academic performance and stay on track to graduate.

After School Matters is an after-school tutoring program led by Norcross High School teachers specifically for ninth- and 10th-grade students from low socio-economic families.

“The vision of the program is to increase a student’s engagement with school, cultivate different talents, lift self-confidence and decrease the likelihood of risky behaviors,” Norcross High School Foundation for Excellence spokeswoman Sherri Boucher

PET OF THE WEEK

GWINNETT GAB

Foundation holding dream vacation raffle

Each week the Gwinnett Daily Post will feature an animal available for adoption at the Georgia SPCA, which is located at 1175 Buford Highway, Suite 109, Suwanee, GA 30024.The hours of operation are Mondays through Fridays 11 a.m. until 7 p.m., Saturdays 11 a.m. until 5 p.m., and Sundays 1 until 4 p.m.You can see the rest of the adoptable cats and dogs at www.georgiaspca.org.

Prudence w ​ as found in an abandoned barn in Coweta County with her 11 puppies, covered with fleas and ticks. Look at her now. She is a beautiful Staffordshire terrier of medium build.

About 18 months old, her temperament and personality, like so many of her breed, i​s ​completely against type. A sweet and loving dog, she loves to curl up in your lap and could spend the rest of the day there. She is friendly with anybody. Not a big fan of the outdoors, she prefers to do her business and come right back in and get back to cuddling.

Next Stop Foundation in Suwanee is partnering with travel agent Michael Murphy to offer $7,500 to a raffle winner who is itching to go on their dream vacation.

Each raffle ticket is $25 and if you buy 10, you get one free — 2,500 tickets are being sold, and the winner will be drawn on March 1. The money won will go toward a vacation, and Murphy will help the winner plan their trip.

Raffle proceeds go to support the Next Stop Foundation, which serves adults with special needs who have aged out of the school system. It provides an afternoon program that supports continued growth and learning in a setting that focuses on friendship, recreation and life application learning.

For more information and to purchase raffle tickets, visit thenextstop.org. Participants can view the drawing online at this site as well.

MONDAY

8 p.m. on FOX The X-Files The limited-run revival of the series ends with “My Struggle II,” written and directed by the show’s creator,

Chris Carter. When a mass illness befalls America and sets off a nationwide panic, Scully (Gillian Anderson) becomes the key to solving the crisis. Mulder (David Duchovny) pursues the person he believes to be behind it, but someone both sleuths know eventually resurfaces as a major factor. Annabeth Gish reprises her role from the first series.

10 p.m. on PBS Independent Lens What does it take to take down a terrorist? It can involve going rogue, as it does for Shariff, an FBI-connected informant who doesn’t tell his superiors of his contact with a suspected jihadist in the documentary “(T)error.” Joint Terrorism Task Force members are kept in the dark — though this film’s directors, Lyric R. Cabral and David Felix Sutcliffe, are invited along — as the operative sets up a sting he intends to be his last mission for the FBI.

health crisis, rather than as a criminal activity.

WEDNESDAY

Grant Gustin ister King Shark’s escape. No one is safe from the villain, as others including Joe, Iris and Wally (Jesse L. Martin, Candice Patton, Keiynan Lonsdale) also discover firsthand before long. Danielle Panabaker also stars.

9 p.m. on PBS Frontline The drug epidemic in America is reduced to a relative microcosm through the stories and perspectives of four people — all of them addicts in Seattle — in the new two-hour episode “Chasing Heroin.” Through interviews with them, as well as with law enforcers and medical professionals, the country’s current drug policies are considered. So is an approach to the situation as a public

9:01 p.m. on FOX Hell’s Kitchen The series’ former sous chef, Andi Van Willigan, returns on a personal mission in the new episode “11 Chefs Compete.” She’s getting married, and the teams have to prepare six dishes for her wedding reception. The winners get to go zip-lining in Las Vegas and spend a lavish night at Caesars Palace, while the others have to deal with a lot of macaroni. The dinner service also is tied to Andi’s happy occasion, with her friends and relatives being catered to. Gordon Ramsay hosts.

THURSDAY 9 p.m. on CNN CNN Republican Debate Republican presidential candidates make their cases for their party’s nomination at the University of Houston in Texas. The Republican National Committee awarded the rights to CNN after disinviting the original host network, NBC News, following displeasure over how an earlier GOP debate was moderated on NBC’s corporate partner, CNBC. Both moderators and panelists

FRIDAY 10 p.m. on PBS American Masters The singer-pianist whose hits included “Ain’t That a Shame” and “Blueberry Hill” — and whose crossover success had a big social impact — is recalled in the new offering “Fats Domino and the Birth of Rock ’n’ Roll.” Though his career peaked in the 1950s and early 1960s, the New Orleans-born Domino would continue to tour and perform live for several more decades, with his music helping to combat segregation in America through its mass appeal.

SATURDAY 8:30 p.m. on ABC NBA Basketball A possible preview of the Western Conference Finals goes down tonight at Chesapeake Energy Arena in Oklahoma City, where Kevin Durant and the Northwest-leading Thunder hope to come away with a win over Stephen Curry and the Pacific-leading Golden State Warriors in these teams’ second meeting of the year. The Thunder are incredibly dominant at home, losing there only five times in 29 games as of early February. The problem is the defending champion Warriors are dominant everywhere, losing only four times — total — all season.

SNELLVILLE City working on unified development code project With developer interest now returning to Snellville’s town center plan, a new challenge has reportedly emerged: The “not-so-userfriendly nature” of the city’s zoning and development codes.

“It’s an issue,” Mayor Tom Witts said in a news release. “We’ve identified the kind of growth we want but our regulations don’t always support getting it built. Or built easily.”

A new city initiative — a Unified Development Code — seeks to change that.

The city council formally approved a contract recently for Atlanta firm, TSW, to assist in the process.

“Snellville’s building and development regulations were written for the 1980s booming development environment with only isolated updates along the way,” Mayor Pro Tem Barbara Bender said. “Building and development designs have made vast improvements in the look and usability of our communities.

It is time our regulations reflect this better approach to development.”

Though rooted in downtown ambitions, the process will also provide opportunity to examine issues citywide, ensuring future development is in line with resident preferences, according to the city. That’s why the first phase of the project is devoted entirely to community input.

The process is expected to launch in March and continue for 14 months.

lifestyles Lessons from the dead: Living rich and dying poor It is now that I have reached the age where the wiser generation, those who taught me and mentored me, are starting to take their leave of this world that I search both their lives and deaths for lessons.

It was well over a year ago that a friend called one day. In a tender voice she said, “I am so sorry to have to tell you this.” Gone was a courtly Southern gentleman who had befriended me while I was in college then became a permanent fixture in my life, schooling me on business and teaching me the power of observation.

He was smart about human nature and succinct in sizing up a situation quickly. His retort to someone’s stupidity or lack of common sense was always instantaneous,

naturally. I had the good fortune of watching and learning it from someone well over a generation older who invested in me.

I was saddened by his death but not shocked.

He had struggled with his health for years, so I figured Ronda that his heart had finally putRich tered out as had it threatened for a while. Not the case. lowkeyed and dry witted. I She sighed heavily. “He wanted to be able to spit out took his life.” witticisms without pausing A couple of hours later, to think it out as he did. another friend called to Now, because somehow make sure that I knew and I learned this art from my he said, “His health was friend, I can sometimes do bad, but that main thing is that while my most apthat he was broke.” preciative audience, Tink, I reared up at the kitchen will throw back his head, island where I was sitting. laugh and say, “That’s really “Broke?” I exclaimed. insightful, funny and very “THAT is NOT possible. He smart.” had plenty of money.”

That ability did not come In the many years that I

had known him, he drove luxury cars, owned an enormous farm that fronted one of the South’s most important rivers, had a second city home and an office on a storied street. Of course, you can’t always know the numbers in a person’s bank account, but I knew how many millions he had received for the farm a couple of years earlier and that he owned half rights to some significant intellectual properties that brought in impressive annual income.

That was in addition to the money he made with his successful business.

“Well,” said my friend, “several of us took up money for him a while back.

Two weeks ago, he told one of the other fellas that he had used it up and didn’t

know what he’d do.”

“That can’t be possible,” I kept repeating until my friend convinced me it was.

Another friend told me that his finances had gotten in such bad shape that he had sold his intellectual properties for a song.

“It’s not what you earn that counts,” I said to Tink, still trying to reason through how such a thing could happen. “It’s how you manage what you earn that counts.”

About the same time, a woman I had long known and admired took her leave of this world. Hers had been a simple, non-frivolous existence filled with hard work and many good deeds.

She was an hourly worker who never knew the kind of glamorous lifestyle that my other friend did, and not

once had she met anyone famous, while his Rolodex was filled with the private numbers of rich, powerful and famous people. Yet, she left behind quite a substantial amount of money. It was stunning.

“How can that be?” I asked. But somehow it was.

“Most of us are broke sometimes in our lives,” I said to Tink. “But if you’re going to be broke, be broke at the beginning or the middle. Don’t be broke at the end.”

I learned that from a couple of good friends.

Three situations where words give you away One way to quickly identify whether a person is a manager or a leader is to look at their language.

The language of a manager is task-oriented. It’s about what needs to be done today and how to do it.

A leader’s language is more purposeful. It’s about where you’re going in the future and why you need to get there.

Manager types can be successful in traditional command and control environments where assigning and measuring tasks is of high value. But these organizations rarely produce innovation, nor do they inspire emotional commitment from customers and employees.

Said another way, managers can replicate the status quo. But if you want to create competitive differentiation and build a team that cares, you need leaders.

There are a few key “tells” that reveal whether someone leans towards manager or leader: 1. How they communicate results Mangers focus exclusively on lagging indicators like sales and productivity metrics. These backward-looking measures keep a manager’s team mired in the past, with little vision for future.

When managers say things like, “Quarterly sales are down; we need to close deals faster,” the fire drill begins.

Leaders, on the other hand, look at leading indicators like customer impact. They analyze emerging trends.

They say things like, “Our newest customers are buying for different reasons; let’s unpack this and figure out how to leverage it.” As Warren Bennis wrote in his classic 1989 book On Becoming a Leader, “The manager has his or her eye always on the bottom line; the leader’s eye is on the horizon.”

2. How they assign work Managers assign tasks.

Leaders communicate desired results. A manager will tell an employee, “Get x and y done in exactly this manner

by Friday at 10:30 a.m.” A leader is more likely to say, “Our client needs this; what’s the best way to accomplish it?” Managers focus on what

Forget Perfect

Lisa McLeod to do and how to do it. Leaders explain the big picture; they tell people why things need to be accomplished and allow their team creativity about how to get there.

Managers are maniacal about adherence process; leaders are relentless about achieving results.

3. What they reward Managers reward adherence to standards. Leaders reward innovation. Managers say things like, “Susan is our best employee; her order entry is flawless.” A leader is more likely to say, “Bill is the bomb; he looked at our order entry and realized the screen prompts were taking up too much of our customers’ time.” A manager rewards people for implementing decisions made from above.

Leaders encourage independent decision-making, knowing that some will fail.

Managers applaud compliance. Leaders inspire commitment.

Words matter. Inspiring words alone will not make a company great. Tasks must get done. But it’s the words of the boss that tell the employees why the tasks matter. Language is how the boss lets people know what’s important and what’s not.

The words of the boss are repeated across the team every single day, and those same words are shared around dinner tables at night.

You can be a manager or you can be a leader. It takes work to adjust your language. In case you’re wondering whether it’s worth the effort, look back at the above list and ask yourself, which person would you rather work for?

Entitlement, thy name is ‘Students for Bernie’ It shouldn’t surprise anybody that, in this presidential election cycle, so many middle-class, college-aged young people are lining up behind self-proclaimed socialist Bernie Sanders. Bernie is the Prophet of Entitlement, and so-called “Millennials” are the most entitled genera-

tion in this nation’s history.

Whatever he prefers to call them, Sanders is pushing entitlements, not rights.

Morally speaking, no one has a right to the fruits of another person’s labor. Nor is there any such thing as a “right” to attend college free of charge — which simply

to pretty much whatever they want, just because they are their wonderful selves.

Consider Valentine’s Day. As children, we all exchanged little paper Valentines with our classmates. Then, when our own kids came along, we took matters a step further and starting sending them to school with boxes to collect their Valentines. At some point, somebody (no doubt a guilt-ridden, wanna-be Super Mom) had the idea of decorating those boxes.

Nowadays, as any selfrespecting, Pinterest-addicted Super Mom can tell you, kids are showing up with elaborate boxes in the shape of trucks and trains and zoo animals. Valentine’s Day, at the elementary school level, has become a contest to see whose Mom (or Dad) can create the most over-the-top receptacle.

Part of that is just human nature. Unfortunately, for today’s kids, this kind of excess has become completely normal. They have no real appre-
