Gwinnett hopeful for Trump’s leadership

BY CURT YEOMANS curt.yeomans@gwinnettdailypost.com

After years of political campaigning, debating, voting and transition planning, Snellville resident Fran Moore just wanted one thing on Friday night: unity.

Earlier in the day, No matter who America you voted for, witnessed it doesn’t really the show matter at this point. of pagHe’s our president.” eantry and — Fran Moore, Snellville resident patriotism wrapped in historical tradition that takes place once every four years in this country: the inauguration of a president. For the first time in eight years, however, the inauguration symbolized the transition of power, a changing of the guard if you will, from one president to the next.

The leadership of the country passed from the hands of a Democrat to those of a Republican after a grueling process process that began about two years ago.

Moore said it’s time to focus on what the future holds under a Donald Trump presidency.

“I just think we need to get behind our president,” she said. “He’s the man now.

No matter who you voted for, it doesn’t really matter at this point. He’s our president.”

Gwinnett and Georgia elected officials, residents and even visitors settled into the reality on Friday that the reins of power had been transferred. After eight years in the White House, Barack Obama

Republic renovations

There’s an old saying that everything old is eventually new again and, in a way, that could be used to describe the new Local Republic location that will open this week.

The building at 139 Perry St. was gutted and completely rebuilt on the inside. Some of the building’s old ceiling beams were reused to make a new long table that will be used in new location.

All of that was expected when Local Republic owners Ben Bailey and Chris Collins began remodeling the building. What they didn’t know initially, however, was that they aren’t the first people to try their hand at using the structure for a burger joint.

ran last spring on the remodel led them to members of the Kelly family who originally owned the building in the early 1900s, including the brother and sister of a doctor who used part of the space for an office.

“It was cool to hear some of the early history,” Collins said. “He said, during the Depression, they did anything they could with the building to make money. They actually served hamburgers out of here at one point. That was a pretty cool story considering that’s one of the things we’re known for.”

The popular eatery closed

Renovations to the building that houses the new Local Republic location on the Lawrenceville Square included an entirely new front.

Harrell helps launch conservative anti-death penalty group State Rep. Brett Harrell, R-Snellville, joined other conservatives on Thursday to launch a new statewide group aimed at ending the use of the death penalty in Georgia.

Video from the Georgia Conservatives Concerned About the Death Penalty’s launch shows Harrell Brett Harrell advocating for the use of life without parole over the death penalty. While some other speakers called for abolishing the death penalty, Harrell himself did not specifically call for that.

“The death penalty, I believe, is both constitutional and may be morally applied,” Harrell said during the press conference. “That said, as a person of faith, I view the death penalty first from a standpoint of protecting the innocent rather than having a primary purpose of punishing the guilty.

“And with that in mind, we’ve evolved as a society

cient, effective and accurate system in that regard.”

Harrell also pointed to his position as a person of faith as a reason why he was concerned about the death penalty. He pointed to the Latin phrase “Imago Dei,” a term often used in the pro-life movement that means “Image of God,” as one basis for his belief that life without parole is a better alternative to the death penalty.

Pro-lifers take the stance that a person become the image of God when they are conceived and that a person’s life should be preserved whenever possible, Harrell explained.

“As I pondered that, and you think throughout the life, even with someone who is the most heinous criminal and done the most repulsive and despicable thing you can imagine, as you ponder that, at what point is the Imago Dei, is the image of God, removed from that terrible person’s soul,” he said. “And the answer is clear: It is not.”

State Republicans praise Perdue pick as agriculture secretary Georgia Republicans

in Washington continue to praise President Donald Trump’s decision to Johnny nominate Isakson former Gov. Sonny Perdue to be his secretary of agriculture on Thursday.

“Sonny is a friend, a tested leader and true visionary when it comes to public service,” Sen. Johnny Isakson, R-Ga., said in a statement. “His background in public service coupled with his experience in business and agriculture make him an excellent choice to lead the U.S. Department of Agriculture.”

Meanwhile, Republicans in Georgia’s House Delegation issued a joint statement where representatives highlighted what they saw Perdue bringing to the post. He is the second Georgian nominated

by Trump to serve in the new president’s cabinet.

The other is Rep. Tom Price, who was nominated for Health and Human Services secretary.

“Having served as Governor of Georgia, whose No. 1 industry is agriculRob ture, his Woodall knowledge and experience in both the public and private sectors make him an excelJody Hice lent choice to lead the Department of Agriculture,” Rep. Rob Woodall, R-Ga., said.

Rep. Jody Hice added: “Given his executive experience as a two-term Governor and his background as an agribusiness owner, Sonny Perdue is an outstanding choice to lead the Department of Agriculture. During his tenure as Governor, he shaped an agricultural policy that helped usher in a new era of economic growth.”

Dear Curtis, My family is looking at options for my 89 year old Mother who lives with us but needs more care. Suggestions?

Susan in Duluth Dear Susan, There are many adult day care centers designed for older individuals who need help with daily actitivties or who are isolated and lonely.

Seniors are able to socialize with others while receiving care. The centers give caregivers a much needed break while knowing that their loved one is in good hands.

Three options include: 1. Social Day Care: This type of center offers an outlet for artistic talents, musical entertainment, local outings, birthday and holiday commemorations. The centers also provide nutritious snacks and many offer transportation to the center and back. Health care is minimal, as these centers provide social interaction.

2. Adult Day Health Care: These facilities often provide physical , occupational and speech therapy. They are usually staffed with an RN and other health professionals associated with stroke, isolation and confusion. ADHC facilities offer the chance to meet new people, participate in challenging activities and enjoy daily life in comfortable, safe surroundings.

3. Alzheimer’s and Dementia: These programs provide social and health services specifically for seniors with cognitive challenges. Activities are provided in a safe place and staff has specialized training in dementia cared.

In selecting the right cares center, consider the needs of your Mother.

Are social activities primary? Do they need assistance with walking, eating or medications. Is mental stimulation important……what are exercise needs? Consider your needs as well. Do you need on-going support…..help with transportation or just some FREE TIME? Do your homework… How long have they been there? Hours of operation? Is transportation provided? Ask about staff credentials….. ratio of staff to guests, activities, which meals are provided. Be sure to visit the centers you are considering to observe the social atmosphere, interactions. Check references, talk to others who use the facility.

Getting as much information from as many sources as you can will help you make the right choice.

Phobia requires expert to diagnose Dear Dr. rOach: How does one differentiate between reclusiveness and agoraphobia? I realize both are medical terms/ diagnoses.

— T.H. ansWer: Of the two, only agoraphobia is a medical diagnosis. Reclusiveness is a personality trait with a broad definition, meaning someone who is withdrawn from society. In agoraphobia, this tendency is associated with intense fear or anxiety in at least two of the following situations: using public transportation; being in open spaces; being in enclosed places; standing in line or being in a crowd; and being outside alone. The diagnosis of agoraphobia is specific in terms of the amount of fear, anxiety and incapacity caused by these situations.

It requires experience to make this diagnosis, so I think it’s reasonable to seek out an expert (usually a psychiatrist or psychologist) to make the diagnosis and discuss treatment.

I often hear people use medical terms to describe a person’s symptoms, but people can have tendencies toward a particular disease or condition without meeting strict criteria for a diagnosis. This is often because the degree of severity to make the diagnosis is so high. For example, I hear people described as narcissistic, but the diagnosis of a narcissistic personality disorder requires multiple criteria. Everyone should be careful of using medical diagnoses lightly, but particularly medical professionals who are in the media.

Dear Dr. rOach: My daughter refuses to immunize my grandchildren, ages 3 and 5. All I am asking is that they get the tetanus shot. She said that if I can find a solo shot with just tetanus, she would agree to it. Does such a thing exist? If so, how can I get her doctor to order it?

— C.G. ansWer: Although there is a vaccine that includes only tetanus toxoid, it is indicated only for those over 7 as a booster against tetanus. For your grandchildren’s ages, the DTaP vaccine is recommended.

I don’t understand why your daughter would be willing to protect her children against tetanus but not willing to protect her children from pertussis, a serious disease lasting for weeks, whose complications include seizures and encephalopathy.

Similarly, diphtheria is very rare in the U.S., but it still exists worldwide.

Without vigilance, it could return. Diphtheria killed many thousands of children per year in the United States before the vaccine was introduced. In December, there were multiple cases of diphtheria reported in Australia.

I understand that you want to protect your grandchildren as much as possible, but the safest way to protect them against tetanus also protects them against pertussis and diphtheria.

world&nation WOrLd London marches for ‘hope not hate’ There were mothers, wives, sisters, daughters, husbands, fathers, brothers and sons; their ages ranged from those in strollers to people with walkers, and they were united in a message of solidarity with women around the world.

On Saturday, thousands demonstrated in London, marching from the U.S. embassy on Grosvenor Square to Trafalgar Square, to send a message to the incoming administration that “women’s rights are human rights,” according to organizers.

Speakers told crowds at Trafalgar Square that at least 100,000 people had turned out. London’s Metropolitan Police do not provide crowd estimates, but aerial footage showed large numbers of people in the square.

Women protest in Washington

By Maeve Reston

CNN

Streets in the monumental core of downtown Washington were brought to a standstill Saturday as droves of women marched to protest Donald Trump’s presidency and his history of derogatory comments about women.

Protesters filled Pennsylvania Avenue, the same iconic street Trump walked down a day before during his inaugural parade, as they moved in the direction of the White House.

The large turnout wasn’t limited to Washington.

Similar protests unfolded throughout the day in cities such as New York, where crowds spilled across Fifth Avenue. Boston Police Chief William Cross said the crowd there was too big for the march Europe’s far-right route and could not proceed because “it would be leaders speak on like a snake eating its tail.”

Trump cake controversy turns out to have many layers

By Betsy Klein CNN

A rising cake controversy appeared to deflate on Saturday.

The issue stemmed from a pastry parallel — a cake at President Donald Trump’s inaugural ball Friday night mirrored one at President Barack Obama’s in 2013.

Duff Goldman, of Food Network cake-baking fame, tweeted two side-by-side images of identical cakes. One of the cakes was made

MusT reAd

by Goldman and his Baltimorebased Charm City Cakes for Obama’s inaugural ball in 2013, and the other was from D.C.’s Buttercream Bakeshop, cut by Trump Friday night at his inaugural ball.

“The cake on the left is the one I made for President Obama’s inauguration four years ago. The one on the right is Trump’s. I didn’t make it,” Goldman tweeted,

adding a chin-scratching emoji for good measure. The tweet went viral overnight, with up to 67,000 retweets and more than 118,000 likes as of midday Saturday.

Buttercream Bakeshop, led by owner Tiffany MacIsaac, explained the situation Saturday morning with an Instagram of the Friday’s cake creation.

“Excited to share the cake we got to make for one of last night’s inaugural balls. While we most love creating original designs,

when we are asked to replicate someone else’s work we are thrilled when it is a masterpiece like this one. Duff Goldman originally created this for Obama’s inauguration 4 years ago, and this years committee commissioned us to re-create it,” the caption read.

MacIsaac told The Washington Post that she encouraged the client to use the 2013 cake as inspiration.

“They said, ‘Nope, they want this exact cake. It’s perfect.’ And we said, ‘Great,’” MacIsaac told

the Post.

The bakeshop, possibly foreseeing conflicts with its Washington clientele, noted that all of the profits from the cake will be donated to the Human Rights Campaign, “Because basic human rights are something every man, woman and child — straight, gay or the rainbow in between — deserve!”

A quick stop to the shop Saturday afternoon saw a bustling bakery — mostly filled with Women’s March participants.

Final act of Obama WASHINGTON — Barack Obama did not go out quietly. His unquiet final acts were, in part, overshadowed by a successor who refused to come in quietly and, in part, by Obama’s own endless, sentimental farewell tour.

But there was nothing nostalgic or sentimental about Obama’s last acts. Two of them were simply shocking.

Perhaps we should have known. At the 2015 White House Charles correspondents dinner, Krauthammer he joked about whether he had a bucket list: “Well, I have something that rhymes with bucket list.”

Turns out, he wasn’t kidding. Commuting the sentence of Chelsea Manning, one of the great traitors of our time, is finger-in-the-eye willfulness. Obama took 28 years off the sentence of a soldier who stole and then released through WikiLeaks almost half a million military reports plus another quarter-million State Department documents.

The cables were embarrassing; the military secrets were almost certainly deadly. They jeopardized the lives not just of American soldiers on two active fronts — Iraq and Afghanistan — but of locals who were, at great peril, secretly aiding and abetting us. After Manning’s documents release, the Taliban “went on a killing spree” (according to intelligence sources quoted by Fox News) of those who fit the description of individuals working with the United States.

Moreover, we will be involved in many shadowy conflicts throughout the world. Locals will have to choose between us or our enemies.

Would you choose a side that is so forgiving of a leaker who betrays her country — and you?

Even the word “leaker” is misleading. Leak makes it sound like a piece of information a whistleblower gives Woodward and Bernstein to expose misdeeds in high office. This was nothing of the sort. It was the indiscriminate dumping of a mountain of national security secrets certain to bring harm to American troops, allies and interests.

Obama considered Manning’s 35-year sentence excessive. On the contrary. It was lenient.

Manning could have been — and in previous ages, might well have been — hanged for such treason. Now she walks after seven years.

What makes this commutation so spectacularly in-your-face is its hypocrisy. Here is a president who spent weeks banging the drums over the harm inflicted by WikiLeaks with its release of stolen materials and emails during the election campaign. He demanded a report immediately. He imposed sanctions on Russia.

He preened about the sanctity of the American political process.

Over what? What exactly was released?

A campaign chairman’s private emails and Democratic National Committee chatter, i.e. campaign gossip, backbiting, indiscretions and cynicism. The usual stuff, embarrassing but not dangerous. No national security secrets, no classified material, no exposure of anyone to harm, just to ridicule and opprobrium.

The other last-minute Obama bombshell occurred four weeks earlier when, for the first time in nearly a half-century, the United States abandoned Israel on a crucial Security Council resolution, allowing the passage of a condemnation that will plague both Israel and its citizens for years to come. After eight years of reassurance, Obama seized the chance — free of political accountability for himself and his potential Democratic successor — to do permanent damage to Israel. (The U.S. has no power to reverse the Security Council resolution.)

Daniel Patrick Moynihan, the U.S. ambassador to the U.N. who went on to be a great Democratic senator, once argued passionately that in the anti-American, anti-democratic swamp of the U.N., America should act unwaveringly in opposition and never give in to the jackals.

Obama joined the jackals.

Why? To curry favor with the international left? After all, Obama leaves office as a relatively young man of 55. His next chapter could very well be as a leader on the international stage, perhaps at the U.N. (secretary-general?) or some transnational (ostensibly) human rights organization. What better demonstration of bona fides than a gratuitous attack on Israel? Or the about-face on Manning and WikiLeaks? Or the freeing of a still unrepentant Puerto Rican terrorist, Oscar Lopez Rivera, also pulled off with three days remaining in his presidency.

A more likely explanation, however, is that these are acts not of calculation but of authenticity. This is Obama being Obama. He leaves office as he came in: a man of the left, but possessing the intelligence and discipline to suppress his more radical instincts. As of Nov. 9, 2016, suppression was no longer necessary.

We’ve just gotten a glimpse of his real self.

From now on, we shall see much more of it.

Charles Krauthammer’s email address is letters@charleskrauthammer.com.

Marching my conscience By the time you read this, it will have already happened. Miles walked.

Speeches heard. Voices rising as one throughout the city. While the Atlanta March for Social Justice and Women held Saturday will be over, the fight is long from over.

This is the first time that I have ever participated in a march, and I can’t imagine that it will be my last over the next four years. Many probably see this as trendy or a hip thing to do, but I see it as a bunch of people pushed to their breaking points.

This is #WhyIMarch: I march because I am woman. I march because for some reason not having a Y chromosome makes me lesser than. Be it lesser pay, the “pink tax” (where companies repackage the same products into smaller portions, slap on the color pink and charge a premium), or legislation that wants to tell women what they can and cannot do with their own bodies.

I march for those who are afraid. Being attacked for expressing your opinion is a great concern — es-

Kristen Hansen pecially on social media.

People become very brave when behind a keyboard.

Do most of your family and friends have opposite views from your own? It can be hard to stand up for what you believe in when people you love come and try to tear you down. I must admit, I was in this camp.

I am afraid of the future.

I hope those fears are unfounded, but they exist nonetheless. During the election, I wasn’t outspoken about who I was supporting like many others in this country. This silence led to private invite-only groups like Pantsuit Nation where people could feel safe while sharing viewpoints. While these groups can be great, our voices weren’t being heard by those that needed to hear them.

Marchers gather for the Atlanta March for Social Justice and Women at the National Center for Civil and Human Rights on Saturday. Atlanta police estimate that 60,000 people attended the march. (Staff Photo: Kristen Hansen)

I march for all those that wanted to be there but couldn’t. Those that can’t march for themselves because of physical restrictions. Those that have work, family or just life obligations. Those that don’t have the money to reach a march. Those that haven’t gotten to the point where they want to proclaim what they believe in public yet.

I march for all my fellow Scotties. I am a proud graduate of Agnes Scott College, a women’s college in Decatur. While there I learned — among other things — that I shouldn’t just sit down and keep

quiet about injustice in the world. Instead, I should work to make the world a better place. I found my voice at ASC, and for that, I am grateful.

I march for everyone — everyone who has ever faced sexism, racism, hatred, bigotry or any one of the number of other injustices in the world. Equal rights are deserved by all.

While the march has finished, work has just begun.

I march because it is the right thing to do.

Observations on the national scene I hope you will forgive me but I am going against my better judgment today and sound like one of those inch-wide, inch-deep political pundits and blah-blah bloggers who can be more boring than a tree stump.

If I don’t provide some meaningful commentary on national events from time to time, I am afraid the editors will think I am not relevant and will replace me with some pseudo-know-it-all, like that guy on MSNBC who looks like the Pillsbury Doughboy and whose fanny Zell Miller once threatened to whip on national television, shocking the 11 people who regularly watch MSNBC. I’m walking a fine line here.

The editors are already cranky with me because I don’t know where commas go. That makes them have to do additional work at no additional pay.

Plus, I run the risk of riling Zell Miller. I have done that in the past and it is not a pretty thing.

First, in case you haven’t heard already, we have a new president. His name is Donald Trump. He joins John Quincy Adams, Rutherford B. Hayes, Benjamin Harrison and George W. Bush as one of five people elected president by winning a majority of the votes in the Electoral College, while losing the popular vote.

I really don’t have a problem

The great American philosopher Will Rogers once declared, “I am not a member of any organized political party. I am a Democrat.” Will would love this bunch today.

The Democrats have shown an innate ability to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. Both Dick Houses of Congress have Yarbrough Republican majorities. The number of Republican governors has risen to 33, the most in with that. It is spelled out in nearly a century and the GOP the U.S. Constitution that this controls both chambers in 32 is the way it will be done.

country illegally. Good help is hard to find these days.

I’m not sure what the Democrats are smoking (I have a good idea), but going as far left as they seem to be headed is not going to bring mainstream Americans into the fold. Their decision should serve as a cautionary tale for Republicans, who run the risk of going too far to the right and being perceived as just a bunch of angry white guys. If they do, we’ll boot them out just like we did the Democrats. Most of us are stationed somewhere in the middle of the political spectrum and we don’t like extremists on either side. Both parties seem unable to grasp this simple fact of political life because they are too busy kowtowing to the extremists.

OK, enough of this stuff.

The inch-wide and inch-deep political pundits and blah-blah bloggers can take it from here.

I am going back to the burning issues of the day, like how broccoli can give you a serious case of runny nose and why banana pudding is the only known cure. Try reading that in the New York Times.

By Keith Farner

keith.farner @gwinnettdailypost.com

Gwinnett County Public Schools is investigating a drug incident at Radloff Middle School that involved three seventh-grade girls.

District spokesman Bernard Watson said Friday morning that one girl brought a sealed bag of prescription medical marijuana edibles in candy or gummy form to school and

gave it to a another girl. That girl gave one piece to a third girl who ate it and later felt sick.

“She went to the nurse, her mother was called, and the mother took the student to a doctor to get checked out,” Watson said.

Watson said the investigation is active, and once it’s over the appropriate action or discipline will be delivered. He said the school district has a a zero tolerance policy concerning illegal drugs.

GCPS is looking into an incident involving edible marijuana products at Radloff Middle School.

Barrow deputies bust illegal gambling sites

By Keith Farner

keith.farner @gwinnettdailypost.com

More than $100,000 was seized Thursday in Barrow County from illegal gambling machines at three

stores that paid cash.

The Barrow County Sheriff’s Office conducted search warrants for illegal gambling at 1132 Atlanta Highway NW in Auburn, 10 Patrick Mill Road SW in Winder and 669 Atlanta

Highway SE in Winder. The stores paid out cash for the gambling machines located on the premises, spokesman Capt. Ryan Sears said.

Sears said the machines were immediately disabled and would be removed

promptly. The stores were also temporarily barred from selling lottery or scratch-off lottery tickets.

The Barrow County Sheriff’s Office and the Georgia Lottery Corporation worked together on the investigation.

morning.

She had hit Taylor, the young woman found unconscious in the middle of Lawrenceville-Suwanee Road.

Georgia law states that “the driver of any vehicle involved in an accident” that causes severe injury or death needs to “immediately stop such vehicle at the scene of the accident” or at the very least return to the scene after finding a safe place to turn around.

The woman who hit Taylor never returned to the scene.

But she hasn’t been charged with hit-and-run.

Jeff Hamm and his wife don’t understand how that can be.

“We’re frustrated by how it’s been handled because in my opinion police have been more sympathetic to the driver than to my 24-year-old daughter,” Jeff said.

Gwinnett Police Cpl. Deon Washington said earlier this week that he sympathizes with the family. The investigation into the incident is ongoing, but so far Washington said the department doesn’t have enough evidence to charge the driver with a hit and run.

“The driver never made any intentions to conceal the fact that she was in an accident,” Washington said. “She immediately traveled to work and reported the fact that she was involved in an accident

mix& mingle

to authorities.”

Nobody asserts that the driver stopped at the scene — she definitely didn’t, police say. But Washington said she hadn’t felt safe stopping on the dark road, so she drove the two or three miles to the hospital before alerting authorities. Once she got there, Washington said the woman acted quickly.

“As soon as she arrived at the hospital, she didn’t park in the employee parking area,” he said. “She immediately rushed into the hospital and reported to security that she had been involved in an accident.”

Jeff Hamm and Flocks don’t believe that’s a good enough excuse for not stopping on the scene.

“If the comfort issue was about being scared of crime, you lock the doors to your car,” Flocks said. “It was 6:30 a.m. on Christmas, so there was no traffic out there.

I don’t know why anybody would be uncomfortable.”

Flocks said she visited the spot where Taylor was hit just this past week and noticed a “very long” right turn lane leading into the back of Moore Middle School about 200 feet away from the scene of the accident.

“That was a very safe place to pull over,” Flocks said.

She said she didn’t understand why the driver couldn’t have stopped there, put on her hazard lights and used a cellphone to call for help.

“Even if she didn’t have a cellphone with her, it’s not an excuse to drive off,” Flocks said. “With her hazards on, somebody probably would pull over and you could ask that person to call.”

But Washington said he couldn’t find fault in the woman’s failure to stop

promptly, since she hadn’t even been sure she’d hit a person. He said the road was exceptionally dark so early in the morning and she hadn’t been able to see Taylor.

“There were no crosswalks, there were no streetlights and it was pitch black,” he said. “The driver did not stop because she didn’t know that she actually struck a human being.”

But Flocks said she doesn’t buy that, either.

She concedes the area isn’t well-lit and said she doesn’t fault the driver for accidentally hitting Taylor. But she doesn’t see how the woman wouldn’t have known she hit a person.

“I understand when it’s dark out you may not be able to see something 50 feet ahead,” Flocks said. “But any driver is going to know when something is on their windshield and know whether or not it’s a human being.”

Pictures of the car provided to the Daily Post by the Hamm family show cracks to the left side of windshield.

The timeline of Taylor’s incident remains a bit murky.

Washington said she was hit sometime after 6 a.m. and that Lawrenceville police were on the scene around 6:44 a.m.

“The exact timeline is still being confirmed due to Lawrenceville PD responding as well and arriving before Gwinnnett PD,” he said.

But Jeff Hamm wonders if police could have arrived at the scene even sooner if the driver had called for help immediately after hitting his

daughter. He wonders whether Taylor would be conscious now if that had happened.

“We truly believe that if the driver had alerted somebody on the scene it could have made all the difference in the world,” Jeff Hamm said. “She’s basically on life support and she’s been that way for three weeks.”

Flocks was also disturbed

by Taylor’s condition, but she worried this case may have implications beyond the suffering young girl. She said it might leave a message to other drivers that it’s OK to drive away after hitting somebody, as long as the authorities are notified eventually.

“It’s not just an issue of justice,” she said. “If the county is unwilling to press charges, they’re basically waving it off.”

She said that could exacerbate an issue Gwinnett County already has with pedestrian safety. Flocks pointed out that Gwinnett has the fourth-highest number of pedestrian fatalities of any county in the state. She said one out of five pedestrian fatalities results from a hit and run.

From 2011 to 2013, 53 pedestrians were killed in Gwinnett County.

“This year may be even worse,” Flocks wrote in an email to Gwinnett Police Chief Butch Ayers on Friday.

“We’re less than three weeks into 2017, and already four of the eight pedestrian fatalities in Georgia occurred in Gwinnett County.”

She said delays in calling authorities to a scene can only inflate that number.

But Washington says Gwinnett police can’t charge the driver in Taylor’s case with anything at this point.

He said the investigation will be turned over the the District Attorney’s office for review once it’s finished — but he’s not sure when that will be, yet.

“We sympathize with the Hamm family who’s dealing with this horrific situation,” Washington said.

Jeff Hamm said he and his family don’t feel that sympathy.

“We’re not going to rest until we get justice in some way or form,” he said.

key because that leads to overburdening of the existing surveyors.’’

Tony Marshall, president and CEO of the Georgia Health Care Association, which represents nursing homes, said that “while we take comfort in the fact that the majority of complaints against skilled nursing care centers are not substantiated, we will continue to work collaboratively with the Department [of Community Health] to help solve backlog issues.”

Melanie McNeil, Georgia’s Long-Term Care Ombudsman, said that while the ombudsman program encourages residents and their advocates to work with nursing homes to resolve problems, “sometimes it takes the survey agency’s power to cite facilities for deficiencies to get problems corrected.”

“In addition, the survey process is critical to identify and correct problems in facilities before those problems become significant for residents,’’ she said. “When surveys are delayed, the opportunity to

identify and correct problems is delayed.”

McNeil said Thursday that problems last year “put an unexpected strain’’ on Georgia nursing home residents, families, facilities, ombudsman representatives and surveyors.

One big problem, she said, was that five Georgia nursing homes were decertified — meaning that the government, due to quality concerns, would no longer pay for the care of Medicaid patients in those facilities. Those situations required more attention from surveyors and ombudsman representatives, McNeil said.

Some residents of the decertified nursing homes had to be relocated to other facilities, and the state needed additional staffers to monitor conditions and address concerns during that process, she said.

“Residents, families and facilities have added needs and concerns during times of relocations, so that may have added to the backlog of complaints,” McNeil added.

Growers navigating the politics of peanuts

BY JIM HENDRICKS

Special to the Daily Post

TIFTON — Peanut growers can again expect attacks on their commodity program as a new farm bill is written over the next year and a half, but a strong legislative team is in place to shepherd the peanut title of the bill through Congress, a long-time peanut lobbyist said last week.

“We really have a strong team in multiple committees going into this next 215th Congress as we tee up the farm bill,” Bob Redding with the The Redding Firm told growers Thursday at the 41st annual Georgia Peanut Farm Show at the University of Georgia Tifton Campus Conference Center.

“Once the antis figure where the expenditures are, where the money is, they will go after it,” Redding said, noting that crop insurance is “a big part of the farm bill. It will again be under attack.” Peanut program opponents will try to downsize the number of growers who can participation in crop insurance and will push gross income testing, he said. Conservation programs also will come under fire, he predicted.

As there was with the 2014 farm bill, there has been talk in the House of splitting the nutrition portion of the bill from the agriculture portion, but Redding said he doubted that would get past the Senate, where the filibuster can bring any such effort to a halt.

“In the Senate, it will be difficult under regular order to get 60 votes (to split the bill),” he said.

In the upper Chamber, Georgia Sen. David Perdue, R-Sea Island, is a member of the Committee on Nutrition, Agriculture and Forestry, as is Sen. Thad Cochran, R-Miss., who helped the peanut title survive in the 2014 bill.

Sen. Jeff Session, R-Ala., is on the committee now, but it will likely be a brief tenure since he is up for Senate confirmation for attorney general. Redding said his hope is Session’s successor will move into that committee slot.

Sen. Johnny Isakson serves on the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations, and both he and Perdue serve on subcommittees with responsibilities that include involving State Department, USAID, Millennium Challenge Corporation, and Peace Corps management and international operations, bilateral international development policy, and bilateral foreign assistance.

Looking at the House Agriculture Committee, Redding said it was “one of the most cohesive groups I’ve ever seen in the eight farm bills I’ve been involved in. They understand each other’s districts and the commodities.”

Georgia has three lawmakers on the Ag Committee. Rep. Austin Scott, R-Tifton, also chairs the committee’s Commodity Exchanges, Energy and Credit Subcommittee, with Rep. David Scott, D-

Atlanta, serving as ranking minority member on that subcommittee. Rep. Rick Allen, R-Augusta, also is a member of the Ag Committee.

Meanwhile, Rep. Sanford Bishop, D-Albany, is the ranking member of a House panel that’s also important to agriculture, the House Appropriations Subcommittee on Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies.

With David Perdue’s cousin, former Georgia Gov. Sonny Perdue, tapped

by President Donald Trump to serve as his secretary of agriculture and American Farm Bureau Federation President Zippy Duvall hailing from Georgia, peanut growers are positioned well, Redding said.

Secretary-select Perdue and Duvall will be “a really good team for us,” Redding said. “We look forward to working with them over the next 18 months on this farm bill.”

He said town hall listening sessions on the farm bill should get under way

by the second quarter of this year.

“There’s not much talk now about extension of the (2014) farm bill, but you can rest assured there will be more talk about that if the bill starts to struggle,” he said.

In an interview Thursday with The Albany Herald, Redding said the critical issue is helping farmers make enough income to stay in business.

Ag lenders will tell you, he said, “There are a lot of folks who haven’t been on the margin in the past who are now on the margin.”

“A lot of it is about prices and commodity prices have not been great in recent times,” he said.

“We’re hopeful with various commodities we’ll see more in the marketplace.

These farmers have to sell their commodities for a profit.”

Research programs conducted by the University of Georgia and other universities have greatly improved production, “but if the farm’s not profitable, these guys can’t just keep

spending their equity,” Redding said. “We’ve got to get prices where they need to be. The farm safety net, crop insurance, is an important piece of the puzzle.”

With the Trump administration, he said, “Our folks are hopeful there’ll be a better understanding of agriculture and the impact on the farm.” Secretary-select Perdue can be instrumental in that understanding by the administration.

“He has the whole picture,” Redding said. “He’s dealt with grains. He grew up with tree nuts, peaches and vegetables, peanuts and cotton. … He’s pragmatic, he was as governor. He understands business. He understands the agriculture piece, he understands the program piece, the research, Extension — all those pieces and how they work together.”

Perdue also has “great allies” in Georgia Agriculture Commissioner Gary Black and Duvall, Redding said.

“They all know each other,” he said. “It’s an opportunity for us to have a working environment where they understand what these (Southern) farmers do, how they farm.”

Redding said there also is hope that the Trump administration will be friendlier when it comes to regulations.

“One thing our folks are very excited about is the regulatory piece,” he said. “We’ve have numerous onerous regs that have come out of this (Obama) administration — the Waters of the U.S., various food safety and chemical regs … the overtime regs

with the Department of Labor.”

A prime example, Redding said, is the H2A Visa program. That seasonal agricultural worker program allows growers who anticipate a shortage of domestic help to bring nonimmigrant foreign workers to the U.S. to perform agricultural labor on a temporary or seasonal basis. President George W. Bush tried to remove some of the more difficult regulations with the H2A program.

“Georgia is a big user of the H2A program. They want to do it the right way with guest workers,” Redding said. “The Obama administration reversed those (Bush) regs the first term.

It made a complicated, burdensome program more burdensome, pushing farmers away from the guest worker program via the Department of Labor versus encouraging them to sign up for this program. That’s one of the things we hope the Department of Labor will reconsider with a new administration coming in.”

The bottom line, Redding suggested, is that farmers have to have a healthy bottom line to stay in business and feed the nation and the world.

“The antis continue to attack these programs with gross income tests,” he said.

“They don’t understand the Southern farming practices.

You can’t make it with cotton and peanuts with 50 acres. It’s just not feasible with economies of scale.

Watching that farm income number is very important, and right now it needs a lot of improvement.”

Falcons host the Packers for a Super Bowl berth

FLOWERY BRANCH — The Atlanta Falcons sit just one win away from the franchise’s second Super Bowl appearance.

The Falcons will host Green Bay today at 3:05 p.m. (FOX) in the NFC Championship in the final game ever at the Georgia Dome.

38-13 in the first round and Dallas 34-31 last week.

“Both teams from when we played before are a better version of what they were at that time,” Falcons head coach Dan Quinn said. “We know we have our hands full in terms of the matchups, but honestly, as we’re getting into our preparation and we’re getting going, both sides are matchup (problems) all over. So it’s going to be a heck of a game.”

Rodgers has been playing at a blistering pace during the streak, throwing for 355

yards and two touchdowns last week in Dallas. The most crucial throw of the day though, was a 35-yard completion to tight end and North Gwinnett grad Jared Cook with 12 seconds remaining to set up a game-winning 51-yard field

by Mason Crosby as time expired.

In the first meeting Rodgers threw for 246 yards and four touchdowns — all to different receivers.

By Will hammock will.hammock@gwinnettdailypost.com

Hebron Christian has a new head football coach with at least one notable similarity to its previous one — he is a former NFL offensive lineman.

The Dacula private school announced Friday that six-time NFL Pro-Bowler and Super Bowl XLI champion Jeff Saturday has been hired for the head coaching vacancy left by Kevin Shaffer’s resignation. Saturday worked at Hebron as an assistant the past two Jeff Saturday seasons under Shaffer, a nine-year NFL veteran himself.

“Obviously, I’m excited,” Saturday said. “I enjoyed working with Shaffer. We had a great time and a great relationship.

We have a staff of men who care about developing kids in a Christ-like manner and playing good football. Hopefully, we can take it to the next level. … I’m excited about building and having an influence and impact on not only the players but the coaches and their development — and developing as a coach myself.”

Saturday, 41, played 14 NFL seasons, 13 with the Indianapolis Colts, where he anchored an offensive line at center that protected quarterback Peyton Manning.

Saturday’s 132 career wins are second only to Manning (141) in franchise history. Saturday and Manning started an NFL-record 172 games as a center-quarterback tandem.

“I think Jeff is a perfect fit for our school right now,” Hebron athletic director Taylor See SATURDAY, Page 4B

South football coach Small leaving for East Coweta

By Will hammock will.hammock@gwinnettdailypost.com

John Small has spent nearly all of his career at South Gwinnett, which made Friday morning that much more difficult.

Small broke the news to his players during a Friday meeting that he has resigned as the Comets’ head football coach to take the same position at East Coweta. Small has been the South head football coach since 2005, when he took over for legendary coach T. McFerrin, John Small and his 12-year tenure is the second-longest in South history, trailing only Bobby Johnson’s 13 years (1964-76) leading the program.

“Sometimes you get (coaching) opportunities and you say no,” Small said. “This was an opportunity that came up and one I felt I needed to look at. It was a great opportunity for my family. That’s why I looked at it. I’m glad it worked out. …

I’ve been at South 15 of my 18 years, and I’ve got a lot of great memories there, a lot of great relationships. South’s a special, special place. A lot of great people. Unbelievable community. Unbelievable kids.

But Brookwood had the most memorable night thanks in large part to Cohen and Sweeney, who finished their careers with 12 individual county titles in 16 career races.

Cohen repeated as county champion in the 50 free (24.18 seconds), but her eye-catching swim was her third straight Gwinnett title in the 100 freestyle. Her first-place time of 50.29 broke the county meet record held previously by

Brookwood grad and threetime Olympian Amanda Weir.

The win also gave Cohen seven county titles in eight career races.

Her anchor leg in the 200 free relay also propelled the Broncos past Norcross and into first with a county meet-record time of 1:37.42, just ahead of Brookwood’s 1:37.53 from 2009. She was joined on that relay by Leila Taylor, Tegan Sweeney and Maddie Cordle.

Bronco boys repeat on a night of records

By Will hammock will.hammock@ gwinnettdailypost.com

NORCROSS — Mill Creek freshman Jake Magahey and Peachtree Ridge senior Jonathan Yang highlighted a night of records in the boys division of the Gwinnett County Swimming and Diving Championships, but the team trophy stayed with the reigning champion.

Brookwood scored 943.5 points to hold off rival Parkview, which was second with 845. North Gwinnett (788.5), Mill Creek (748) and Collins Hill (651) rounded out the top five.

“The boys were very impressive,” Brookwood coach Greg Puckett said. “It took a lot of veterans providing good leadership and the young guns

stepping up. We had some very good swims from sophomores and freshmen, as well as the upperclassmen. Most of it was just the good depth of the team.”

Magahey starred in his first county meet with victories in both the 200- and 500-yard

freestyle races, both in county meet-record times. He won the 200 free in 1 minute, 39.47 seconds and later was victorious in the 500 free in 4:26.62, bumping former Collins Hill swimmer Cody Bekemeyer from atop the record book in both events.

“(Magahey) swam his best times ever, but I knew he would be very competitive,” Mill Creek coach Rick Creed said. “It didn’t surprise me that he won his events. I just didn’t expect him to swim as fast as he did. … He set two county meet records. In the 500 free, he dropped five seconds from his all-time best time at this team and he wasn’t rested. So we’re anxious to see what he does at state. In the 200 free, that was kind of a shocker. He dropped three seconds from his all-time best.

“He’s a very humble kid, very assuming. He’s very motivated and very focus, but he’s also got great sportsmanship.

He’s a fine young man.”

D’Alonzo repeats as county champ

By Ken ChrzanowsKi

Staff Correspondent

STONE MOUNTAIN — Mill Creek’s Ambria D’Alonzo led from wire to wire to defend her title at the Gwinnett County Diving Championships on SaturAmbria day. The D’Alonzo Hawks senior amassed 476.9 points, bettering her 2016 winning total of 413.95.

“I wanted to beat last year’s score,” D’Alonzo said. “But I have a lot of new and more difficult dives this year, so I wanted to make sure I executed each one the best I could and not worry about my score.”

“Ambria doesn’t like to know the score during the meet,” said her coach, Brittany Swanson. “If she has

a bad dive she doesn’t want to worry about how close it is. She is just focused on doing the best she can on the next dive.”

Lyle Hoge of Norcross finished second with a 387, while Lauren Henderson of Dacula took third with a score of 373.55.

It has been a challenging year for D’Alonzo in her pursuit to repeat as county champion and improve upon her 10th place finish at last year’s state meet.

“I’ve been figuring out where I want to go for college,” she said.

“Plus I have had to work through some injuries and new dives so it has been stressful. But my coaches have been great. I am very lucky.”

D’Alonzo currently has offers from Alabama and East Carolina to continue her diving career. With her future coming up, it would be easy to overlook the present. However, she

brings joy and enthusiasm to every meet.

On Saturday, with a comfortable lead, D’Alonzo attempted a reverse 1 1/2 somersault in pike position. This is a dive that has been giving her problems.

“She has been really close to the board,” Swanson said of her charge.

“Whenever you are that close, things can happen.”

With the focus of a diver not satisfied where she is, D’Alonzo was able to execute the dive. Rising out of the pool, D’Alonzo and Swanson jumped into each other’s arms in pure joy.

While not a perfect dive, it will give her confidence as the season draws to a close.

“Ok, so maybe in that one instance I allowed myself to get a little excited.

But I quickly regrouped because I had dives left and I had to move on and mentally prepare,” the county champ said.

Storied franchises clash in AFC title game The sporTs XChange PITTSBURGH — The two most successful teams from the AFC since the NFL merger in 1970 will meet in this year’s conference title game. The winner will be the first team in NFL history to play in nine Super Bowls.

The Pittsburgh Steelers and New England Patriots each played in eight, and have been the two best teams in the AFC by far since 2000.

The Patriots have won all four of their Super Bowls since then and the Steelers added their fifth and sixth Lombardi trophies during that span.

No other AFC team has won more than one Super Bowl since the turn of the century.

So it seems strange these teams are meeting in the playoffs for the first time since Ben Roethlisberger’s rookie season in 2004, when the Patriots beat the Steelers in the AFC title game at Heinz Field.

When the Steelers went to the Super Bowl in 2005 and 2010, the Patriots were eliminated in the divisional round by the Denver Broncos and New York Jets, respectively.

When the Steelers went in 2008, the Patriots did not qualify for the playoffs.

Conversely, when the Patriots went to the Super Bowl in 2007, 2011 and 2014 the Steelers

were eliminated each time in the wild-card round.

Finally, they’re meeting again.

“I’m going to be honest, I don’t care who we had to play in the AFC Championship Game,” Roethlisberger said. “It’s the championship game.

You have one game to get to the Super Bowl.

“Like I said, you are going up to the lion’s den, the dragon’s lair.

They are the dragon. We are trying to slay them.

It doesn’t matter who it is, but they are the ‘gold standard.’”

The Steelers have won nine consecutive games, while the Patriots have won eight in a row.

The Steelers are built around a strong running game and an opportunistic defense that has improved greatly since the beginning of the season.

The Patriots are first in the league in scoring defense and third against the run while Tom Brady continues to play at a high level.

The matchup between Steelers running back Le’Veon Bell and the Patriots defense will be one to watch. Bell has almost 1,200 yards during the Steelers’ nine-game winning streak, and he sat out the regular-season finale against the Browns.

“They play real well up front,” Bell said Wednesday. “They pride themselves on stopping the run. I think it was a circumstance of us not getting enough totes, too. Last time we played them we weren’t as aggressive running the ball as we are now. It should be an interesting game going against those guys again.”

The Steelers got to

the championship game by beating Kansas City, 18-16, in a divisional round game. The Patriots beat the Texans, 34-16, in their divisional round game.

It wasn’t the Patriots’ best performance or Tom Brady’s for that matter. But Steelers coach Mike Tomlin knows great teams advance in the playoffs even when they have an off-night because they find ways to win.

That’s exactly what the Steelers did in Kansas City, when they became only the sixth team in league history to win a playoff game without scoring a touchdown.

“I think just watching them win that game last weekend, exemplifies that he is a great player, but they are a great team,” Tomlin said.

“They found multiple ways to win that game.”

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. — When Virginia dropped to 1-2 in the ACC after a road overtime loss to Pittsburgh earlier this month, the mood was a bit somber, especially given the Cavaliers’ upcoming schedule.

Over three weeks later, optimism crept back into the picture as No. 16 Virginia ran its win streak to four with a 62-49 victory over Georgia Tech on Saturday afternoon at John Paul Jones Arena.

“Virginia is a very good basketball team,” Georgia Tech head coach Josh Pastner said. “They are very well coached and they do a high level job in a lot of areas. For our guys, they gave me every ounce of energy they had.”

Now at 5-2 in conference play, Virginia’s road ahead will become a bit more challenging with upcoming games away from home against Notre Dame and Villanova.

Guard Marial Shayok scored a career-high 19 points to lead three Cavaliers in double figures.

London Perrantes tallied 11 points while Devon Hall added 10.

“I think he’s (Shayok) just played better since I put him in the starting lineup,” Virginia head coach Tony Bennett

said of his junior. “He has always shown good stretches but I think he’s become more comfortable and established a spot. I liked his ability to play off of the bounce and score.”

Virginia (15-3, 5-2 ACC) shot 46 percent for the game and was seemingly never in danger as Georgia Tech could never get over the hump against the Cavaliers’ defense.

Georgia Tech (11-8, 3-4) was led by guard and Shiloh grad Josh Okogie with 15 points while Justin Moore chipped in with 10. Center Ben Lammers, who entered the game averaging 15 points, was held to a season-low seven on 3-of-12 shooting.

“That’s a good player, Ben Lammers is a good player,” Bennett said.

“Jack Salt did a great job

on him and made him earn today. He played with his hands and held his position. He showed his strength and I really enjoyed watching that. I love seeing that and that was a huge key for us.”

Despite the loss, Georgia Tech held Virginia, the top shooting 3-point team in the conference, to 5 of 22 (23 percent) from beyond the arc.

“We’ve been good defensively,” Pastner said. “They (Virginia) are one of the top 10 3-point shooting teams in the country so we did a good job there.”

After the Yellow Jackets closed the deficit midway through the second half, Virginia used a 7-0 run capped by a Hall 3-pointer to regain control of the game.

Virginia was hot out of the gate and knocked down eight of its first 10 shots from the field, including 3 of 4 from downtown. The hot shooting subsided, however, as the Cavaliers were 0 of 10 from deep for the remainder of the half.

Virginia led by as many as 12 in the first half before Georgia Tech used an 8-0 run to close the gap. The Cavaliers shot 50 percent in the first half and led 35-28 after 20 minutes of play.

Georgia Tech shot 48 percent and was led by Okogie with 13 first-half points.

Perrantes led Virginia with 11 points but did not score over the final 12:54 of the half.

Notes: Virginia guard London Perrantes became the fourth Cavalier to record 1,000 points and 500 assists in a career. …

Georgia Tech is shooting 47 percent from behind the 3-point line in its last three games. … Virginia ranks first nationally in points allowed per game (53.5) and second nationally in turnovers per game (9.5). … Virginia guard Marial Shayok has averaged over 13 points since being inserted into the starting lineup five games ago. … Georgia Tech C Ben Lammers was held to single digits for only the second time this season.

“I think we’re at the point where we’re putting in a disciplined approach and setting the course for the long haul,” Saturday said. “That’s realistic. I don’t know how many games we’ll win (in 2017).

Dacula ranch serves as training ground for Medieval Times horses

BY JON GALLO

IF YOU GO

Staff Correspondent

There’s no set schedule, no exact timetable and really, no way of knowing if any of the two dozen Palomino, Quarter, Friesian, Azteca and Andalusian horses that call a sprawling, 20-acre farm in Dacula home after arriving from Texas will ever graduate to entertain the masses.

These horses, all of whom are male and about 4 years old, aren’t being trained to run fast — they are being taught how to carry axe-wielding knights into the choreographed battles that have made Medieval Times Dinner & Tournament the longest running dinner attraction in North America.

But before they ever step into the “castle” in Lawrenceville, they spend their time at the Dacula farm being trained and groomed for possible roles in the unique show.

“Each horse is different,” said Jason Jones, a 38-year-old “head knight” who has made his living riding the company’s horses in front of crowds for the past 17 years. “It takes hundreds of hours to train these horses to be ready to perform. Some take six months, others can take a year or more. You just don’t know.

You have to find out what scares them because when they are in front of the crowd during our shows, and there are so many x-factors.”

What: Medieval Times Dinner & Tournament Where: Sugarloaf Mills Mall, Lawrenceville More info: Go to www.medievaltimes.com Felipe Ramirez, Master of Horse, poses with one of the Andalusians at the Medieval Times ranch in Dacula. (Photo: Karl L. Moore)

MORE ONLINE Visit gwinnettdailypost.com for a photo gallery.

Medieval Times Dinner & Tournament has nine locations that the company refers to as “castles,” including one at Sugarloaf Mills Mall in Lawrenceville. Each castle has an arena that seats up to 1,100 spectators who want to see a spectacle, which is why horses must be taught to keep their focus through the show’s changing lights, music and crowd noise.

Spectators eat and drink while they are transported to medieval Spain to watch knights joust and battle. The horses also perform dressage, a centuries old discipline in which they carry out a series of predetermined movements and maneuvers, making it appear as if they are dancing.

PETS OF THE WEEK

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.

Claude and Zoey are best friends who would love a forever home together.

Claude is timid at first but very sweet. Zoey has helped him come out of his shell. Claude is FIV positive, but he does not have an aggressive bone in his body. He and Zoey get along great. He is a handsome boy with the cutest floppy ear. Zoey is a sweetheart who would make a great lap kitty. She is a staff favorite and Claude’s biggest fan.

Their adoption fee is $25 each ($50 total for the pair). They have been spayed and neutered, and they are completely vetted. Come to the shelter to meet them today.

For more information, call 678-765-2726, or email info@georgiaspca.org.

Nine local schools get grants Nine schools in Gwinnett recently received 13 grants that totaled $98,526.60 from Walton EMC as part of 62 grants to 30 schools in its service area as part of its new “School Empowerment Grant Program.”

Georgia law allows EMCs to distribute unclaimed refunds to educational or community development entities after all attempts to locate the owners of the refunds have been exhausted. In its first year, the program distributed $302,015 to area schools, nine of which are part of Gwinnett County Public Schools.

The following GCPS schools applied for and received their grant checks at the end of the first semester: • Brookwood High, $17,500, for “Integrated Entrepreneurship Program” • Brookwood Elementary, $15,309.65, “Success with iPad Engagement” • Five Forks Middle, $10,593.95, “Enhancing

Some have observed that the first casualty of the recent presidential election was truth. I would argue, however, that its greatest casualty was civility — in particular, civility in pursuit of truth.

Truth, after all, can be elusive. Civility, in a civilized society (note the common root), ought to be a constant, a given.

Of course, as Americans, we’ve always argued about politics. What’s new, it seems to me, is the extent to which each side has come to vilify the other, and especially the extent to which the left in all its institutions — media, Hollywood, academia — has systemically vilified conservatives, as if they’re not only wrong, but evil for

WEDNESDAY

10 p.m. on CBS Hunted With all the technology at hand these days, is it possible for someone to disappear completely? That’s the challenge for the contestants partnered in teams of two in this new competition series. Investigators use every tool at their disposal to locate the fugitives — including engaged Charleston, S.C., couple Matt Sundberg and Christina Zapolski — but those who stay on the run for up to 28 days can win $250,000. The show normally will air Wednesdays.

10:01 p.m. on ABC Quantico The series resumes on a new night with “CLEOPATRA,” as the flashback sequences show the agents getting a lesson in seduction. It proves to be much more for Alex (Priyanka Chopra), who uses it to get to know Owen (Blair Underwood) better — at potential risk to her ties to Ryan (Jake McLaughlin).

In the present, Alex has many of her questions about the terrorists answered. Guest star Eliza Coupe (“Happy Endings”) returns. Johanna Braddy also stars.

10:01 p.m. on HIST SIX During a tense, high-stakes raid on an oil tanker in Lagos, the SEAL Team members put their lives on the line as they attempt to detain a courier for the African radical Islamist group Boko Haram, who could be the key to revealing Rip’s (Walton Goggins) whereabouts in a new episode called “Her Name Is Esther.”

TUESDAY

Christina Zapolski

8:31 p.m. on FOX The Mick Chip (Thomas Barbusca) is in a tough spot in the new episode “The Snitch,” as his involvement in a school situation that turns into a scandal forces him to make a choice. Appearing before an honor board guided

Dave Annable (“Brothers & Sisters”) guest stars.

10 p.m. on FX Taboo Things continue to go from bad to worse for James Delaney (Tom Hardy) in the new “Episode 3,” as he finds himself assailed by multiple enemies who want to see him dead, preferably as painfully as possible. Ultimately, he sees no alternative but to take radical action to safeguard his life. Michael Kelly, Oona Chaplin and Jonathan Pryce also star.

It resumes its 13th season with the new episode “You Can Look (But You’d Better Not Touch),” taking Bailey, Arizona and Jo (Chandra Wilson, Jessica Capshaw, Camilla Luddington) to a maximum-security prison for women to treat a pregnant, violence-prone teen. Ellen Pompeo also stars.

9 p.m. on CW Riverdale Some familiar characters get big twists as this drama series inspired by the “Archie” comic books premieres with “Chapter One: The River’s Edge.” As the supposedly idyllic town of Riverdale tries to come to grips with the death of a popular student, Archie Andrews (KJ Apa) is the romantic target of both longtime friend Betty Cooper (Lili Reinhart) and newcomer Veronica Lodge (Camila Mendes).

Absolutely not. It’s still an animal And when you turn your back, that’s when something bad can happen.”

The horses, as much as the knights, are the show’s stars, so they are treated as such. In Dacula, they are fed alfalfa three times a day and examined by a veterinarian weekly to make sure they are in top condition throughout training.

Felipe Ramirez, whose title is Master of Horse, lives at the Dacula ranch and plays the role of caretaker, companion and trainer to the horses.

He also trains the knights who participate in the show, and performs as well. Ramirez is also responsible for getting the horses to and from the ranch.

When a horse is deemed ready, he is sent to one of the company’s castles – in Lawrenceville, Kissimmee, Fla., Buena Park, Calif., Schaumburg, Ill., Hanover, Md., Lyndhurst, N.J., Myrtle Beach, S.C.,

ish history, which is why the arena is divided into six color sections — red, blue, yellow, black and white, red and yellow, and green, with each representing one of the six regions of medieval Spain.

Each section is assigned a “Knights of the Realm” and a horse who compete in a series of competitions, including ring pierce, flag toss and javelin throw, before culminating the two-hour show with jousts and fights to win the day’s title.

The horses are essential to the competition and must maintain their focus.

A distracted or frightened horse could become unpredictable, which in turn could put the knight’s life in jeopardy, especially if he’s carrying one of the many weapons used in the show.

“What you are seeing is real,” Jones said. “Yes, the fights are choreographed but when we hit each other’s swords and sparks fly, those are real — they aren’t fake. That’s why we ask the audience not to bang their plates because it could scare the horse.”

Jones isn’t being overly dramatic since the mix of weaponry and powerful horses is dangerous, which is why the horses undergo intense training for everyone’s safety, including the horses’.

“The first thing I tell the squires (the name the company gives to those training to become knights) is you can never fully trust the horse,” he said.

“That’s why it’s always about taking care of the animal, and safety, safety and safety.”

What turned out to be an unnecessary obituary One of the dearest and oldest friends I have, had a close brush with death recently. He didn’t just stand on the banks of the River Jordan and cast a longing eye to that other shore; he waded right into its sparkling, clear waters.

It was in God’s hands, not man’s, no matter how capable the doctors.

I left the hospital one night and cried all the way home. While taking a bath, it occurred to me that I should write his obituary so I wouldn’t have to do it under the stress of a deadline and the heavy sorrow that his death would invoke.

Thoughts, sentences and

an abundance of detailed stories to tell and updates on previous stories to give. When I had finished, I’d written one of the most joyful, delightful obits to be imagined.

Not because of the writer I am. (Though you Ronda should know that I did Rich spend two weeks as a full-time obituary writer stories began to spring when I was in college.) forth quickly, so as soon But because of the life as I dried off and dressed, he has lived.

I went straight to my lapHe’s been like a father top and began to write. to me. In fact, he was He has a wonderfully buddies with my daddy, big personality and is the one of the myriad souls most entertaining storywho encamped daily at teller I’ve ever known. daddy’s garage, drank No phone conversation or coffee and told stories dinner talk is ever short while sitting around a with him, because he has big wood heater. He has

given me advice — both wanted and unwanted — loved me during the sad times and encouraged me toward the good ones. He is one of the most cherished “balcony people” of my life. By that I mean he has figuratively sat in the balcony whenever I took center stage in some pursuit and cheered me on as though I was the greatest thing since sliced bread.

I knew he meant a lot to me. Without question.

That his influence and fatherly love was engraved deeply on the person I am, but when I read his obituary, it gave me just the kind of “talking to” that he delights in giving me.

What a life. Truly, the fullest of anyone I ever knew. He fought for his country, came home to build a successful business, served the Lord and fellow man at every opportunity and, what really spoke to me, was all the fun he had. When making a living got in the way of football games, races and travel, he retired and devoted his full attention to savoring the adventures.

Tink and I can be so devoted to working for the almighty dollar that we have canceled vacations when a business opportunity presented itself. It is hard for me to turn down work because I come from people who know how desperate and poor things can get. For several weeks, Tink had, uncharacteristically, been asking, begging really, for us to take a trip to Ireland and Scotland.

“I want to see where you Scotch-Irish come from,” he said. I have

been to Country Antrim from which my people fled two centuries ago.

“OK,” I said. “If I can find a time in our schedule.”

Then I read the obit I wrote and said to Tink, “About that trip you want to take …”

The obituary turned out, thankfully, to be unnecessary. “Now that you’re back to the land of the living,” I told my beloved friend, “you should know that I wrote a heckuva of an obit for you.”

He rolled his eyes comically and threw back his head to laugh. Actually, I think he should read it so he can appreciate the fine job he did with every minute God gave him.

Maybe that’s why the good Lord decided to give him more time.

Four words that help kill morale We’ve all been there.

You’re at the annual meeting; the leaders rattle off the usual buzz words.

Eyes glaze. The question is, why? No one shows up to a meeting wanting to be bored. Leaders certainly don’t want their teams to disengage.

But words matter.

When leaders overuse jargon with no weight behind it, people disconnect. Here are four wellintended yet overused words that garner more eye rolls than enthusiasm.

1. Accountability: When was the last time someone used the word accountability in reference to themselves?

Here’s how it usually plays out: The leader declares, “We’re going to start to hold people accountable around here.” Heavy sighs ensue because what’s left unspoken from the leader is, “That doesn’t include me.” No one wants to work for an organization where people aren’t held accountable. Yet accountability is only effective when it’s in the service of shared goals. Imagine your spouse starting off a conversation saying, “We’re going to be making some changes, there’s going to be more accountability in this marriage.”

Do you feel more or less excited about your partnership? Now imagine your spouse saying, “I’d like to help get in better shape financially (or have more fun, or improve our health, etc. ) Accountability is created by agreement to a concrete plan.

2. ROI: Translated, my bonus. Yes, ROI it matters, but it’s rarely within the control of most performers. It’s always obvious to a team when the leader is getting bonuses on something they’re not. Leaders who tout ROI when their team has no skin in the game risk alienating people.

Bonuses aside, many leaders who are not responsible for the P&L toss about the phrase ROI so often it means nothing.

Don’t overuse the word ROI. It’s jargon people sprinkle into conversations to prove they’re making good decisions.

It’s better to use common language and be specific about what you’re doing and why.

3. Competencies: A single word that makes

Forget Perfect

Lisa McLeod people feel both bored and inadequate. For starters, no one is inspired by competencies. Seeing your job distilled down into 37 micro skills is draining to say the least. Competencies also imply the lack there of.

If someone is discussing competencies, and you’re not in training, the subtle message is that you are incompetent. Competencies are a great HR tool; people need concrete forms of evaluation. But continually bringing up competencies as part of the leadership narrative tells your team you’re mired in the muck. Talking about what you want do and where you want to be great at is more compelling.

4. Stakeholders: “It’s important we get all the stakeholders involved.”

Who exactly would that be? You can make the case that in most organizations everyone is a stakeholder. Stakeholders is an overused generic term with no staying power. Nobody ever stayed late because they were so inspired by their stakeholders. If you mean customers, say customers. If you mean coworkers, say coworkers. Generic words create generic behavior.

None of these four words are bad. They’re simply so overused they’ve lost their power.

If your main leadership message is hold people accountable, deliver ROI, improve competencies and engage stakeholders, you’ll wind up with a perfectly uninspiring organization.

You don’t need jargon to make your point. Tell people where you want to go and how you want to get there. Use your real words, they’re almost always better.
