Cops: Cause unknown in fatal I-85 wreck

BY JOSHUA SHARPE

joshua.sharpe @gwinnettdailypost.com

A day later, it was unclear what caused a driver to lose control on Interstate 85 near Duluth on Thursday, leading to a crash that killed two people and sent three others to the hospital.

Gwinnett County police

responded to the scene, just north of Pleasant Hill Road, before 2:30 p.m. and found that a passenger car had swerved three lanes into the path of a tractor trailer, Cpl. Michele Pihera said in a news release Friday morning.

“The investigator will be inspecting the vehicle to check for any vehicle

defects,” Pihera said.

“Speed and alcohol do not appear to be contributing factors.”

Five people were in the car. Two adults in the back seat died on the scene.

Their identities haven’t been released because the investigator is still working to identify them and notify family, Pihera said.

The driver of the car, a

middle-aged man whose identity also wasn’t released, was uninjured. The two other passengers were hospitalized at Gwinnett Medical Center in Lawrenceville, as was the driver of the tractor trailer.

The wreck and ensuing investigation led to the road being closed until about 4:30 p.m. on the northbound side.

As the U.S. prepares to celebrate its birthday, a group of local archaeologists are working to rediscover Gwinnett County’s historical link to the MORE ONLINE less celebratVisit gwinnettdailypost.com ed second for more photos from the fort. war between America and Britain.

Fort Daniel was established by state military leaders during the War of 1812 as a defensive post on Hog Mountain, along what is now Braselton Highway near Buford, but was then roughly the line between U.S. and Native American territories. This was, of course, in 1813, and at that time, there was no Gwinnett County to defend.

“They say time is fleeting.”

Georgette Stovall’s daughter, Samantha, used those words to open her latest update on her mother’s condition since the 51-year-old Snellville resident was hit by an SUV. Stovall had lost 40 pounds and was out doing her exercise routine before the crash.

“Mom’s suffered such severe trauma to her brain stem. Trauma that cannot be reversed,” the daughter wrote Friday to supporters on Facebook. “The thing is — Momma may be there in body, but her mind is gone, and it’s never coming back.”

The daughter, who couldn’t be reached immediately Saturday, said the family has decided, along with doctors, to remove life support and transfer her to hospice.

The news came as a harsh blow to those who’d been pulling for Stovall since the accident.

On June 23, she was walking with her black Labrador retriever, Ali, near the intersection of Bethany Church Road and Brannan Road when a Honda CRV suddenly came her way.

Gwinnett County police are investigating and haven’t announced any charges for the driver, Tiffany Hayes, 31.

“The investigator is still trying to determine the reason Hayes traveled into opposing traffic, ultimately hitting Stovall, but it does not appear to be an intentional act,” Cpl. Michele Pihera said last month.

“Hayes could be charged at a later time.”

After Brown’s death, friends and fans of a film she starred in, “Queen Pin,” flooded social media with well-wishes and lamented the tragedy that has dogged her family.

Rapper Yung Joc and comedian Lil Duval were friends and posted tributes to Instagram, Vibe reported.

“It feels damn near like I lost my sister from the streets,” wrote the comedian, who said he grew up with Brown.

Is Eyelid Surgery Right for You?

By Kiran Sajja, M.D.

Eyelid surgery is one of the most common cosmetic surgical procedures performed in the United States. This does not include the vast number of individuals that have eyelid surgery for functional, traumatic, and reconstructive purposes. However, just because the procedure is common does it mean eyelid surgery is safe?…

Kiran Sajja, MD. and does it mean it is the right Cosmetic Plastic Surgeon decision for you? To help make this decision it is important to consult with a surgeon that has the knowledge, experience, and patience to develop a plan that is most appropriate for YOUR concerns.

Budding Duluth actress gunned down in Atlanta joshua.sharpe @gwinnettdailypost.com

A budding Duluth actress and model was killed in a shooting Friday night on Cheshire Bridge Road in Atlanta, a killing that counts as the second in her family in a span of three months.

JoKisha “Kisha” Brown, who reportedly would’ve been 36 Saturday, appeared to have been shot multiple times when police found her body in a vehicle after 10:10 p.m., Atlanta police confirmed. The car was at 2100 Cheshire Bridge Road, in a parking lot by the Red Snapper restaurant and other businesses.

“The Court stated words to the effect of, ‘The State will call the victim whatever it wants to,’” Briley-Holmes wrote in the motion. “Really? Could the State call the victim Mother Teresa?”

Moore testified during the trial, which was prosecuted

by Nigel Lush, and maintained his innocence, but the defendant couldn’t explain why the girl would falsely accuse him, said Dan Mayfield, chief assistant DA. The victim, whose con-

nection to the defendant wasn’t released, made an outcry to a friend immediately after the crime.

Gwinnett police Cpl. Ben Ervin of the special victim’s unit interviewed the victim and Moore.

“The victim stated the defendant had touched her on previous occasions that made her uncomfortable by tickling her on parts of her body and adjusting her bra strap,” Mayfield said.

Moore had been out on bond since his arrest in

2012 and living in Los Angeles but was immediately arrested after the verdict.

Jail records show he also has a Lawrenceville address.

His IMDB profile says he was born and raised in Detroit.

Before acting, he worked as a behavioral therapist.

He still calls himself “an advocate for youth development and education,” the profile says.

His sentencing hearing hasn’t been scheduled.

Third arrest made in market fires

Dear Curtis, Both of my parents, aged 80 and 82 are determined to travel from Buford a family reunion in Mississippi. Close to 7 hours of driving. We realize it could be the last time we are all together as an extended family and want to take them. However, both of them are increasingly frail and have not been on a road trip for quite awhile. Can you suggest some things that we can do to ensure a safe and comfortable trip for us all?

Bob in Buford Dear Bob, Traveling is a great experience at any age! I applaud you for making this effort go and take your parents to visit your extended family. With some planning and basic precautions, you can have a great trip and wonderful memories. Here are my thoughts.

Give yourself some extra time. Kind of like traveling with young children, older folks will need more frequent bathroom breaks and regular mealtimes, especially if they take medications on a regular basis.

Also, if they are fairly mobile, it’s a good idea to let them stretch their legs from time to time. Take that into consideration when planning your travel time.

Request approval from their doctors. If they have major medical concerns, make sure their doctors are OK with a long car trip. Get the location of the nearest medical facilities nearby.

Gather all necessary their necessary identification and documentation.

Obviously their current insurance cards, prescriptions etc....There are also special ID bracelets with a GPS micro chip in them for elderly adults with dementia or any other form of cognitive impairment.

Make arrangements for special dietary needs. Check ahead of time to see if your folks have dietary restrictions and that your hosts can provide them.

Provide for a way for them to contact you if you get separated.

Getting a prepaid mobile phone with your numbers programmed in is an easy way to do this should you become separated.

Pack as lightly as possible. Bring what you need for your folks, but try to avoid excess items. This will allow you to focus on your parents’ needs and their ‘must have’ items....walkers, wheelchairs, etc...

Plan for some downtime. Older folks tire easily, so don’t overwhelm them (or you!) with constant activity. This is especially true in the evenings as most elderly folks adhere to the adage “early to bed and early to rise” Here is wishing you a safe trip creating some wonderful family memories!

curt.yeomans @gwinnettdailypost.com

Four of Gwinnett County’s seven senators were picked by Lt. Gov. Casey Cagle recently to serve on study committees for the state Senate study committees.

“With the General Assembly adjourned, the interim provides an opportunity for legislators to delve into the numerous issues facing Georgians,” Cagle said in a statement. “These study committee chairs and members are uniquely qualified to develop real, lasting solutions aimed at building a better Georgia now and for future generations.

“I look forward to evaluating the findings of these committees as we look ahead to next session and beyond.”

Senate Minority Leader Steve Henson, D-Tucker, and Sen. Renee Unterman, R-Buford, were appointed to the Senate’s Legislative Process Study Committee.

Unterman was also named chairwoman of the Senate’s Surprise Billing Practices Study Committee.

Sen. Fran Millar, R-Atlanta, was named chairman of the Higher Education Affordability Study Committee, to which Sen. P.K. Martin, R-Lawrenceville,

was also appointed.

Millar and Martin were also appointed to serve on the Steve Regional Henson Transit Solutions Study Committee.

Martin, who is finishing up his first Renee term in the Unterman Senate and is running unopposed for a second one, said he looked at his appointFran ments as a Millar privilege.

“I am honored to earn the trust of Lt. Governor Cagle and Senate leadership,” P.K. Martin Martin said in a statement. “In the months to come, I look forward to offering my experience and perspective as we work to find ways to keep college af-

Gwinnett senators could gain even more study committee assignments in the future. The Senate’s website lists several more study committees as not yet having been appointed.

Brockway offers tips to avoid getting tased State Rep. Buzz Brockway, R-Lawrenceville, released a video on YouTube on Thursday to teach people how to not get tased on a college campus.

Brockway authored House Bill 792, which allows people over 18 to carry a stun gun, or TASER, on a college Buzz Brockway campus as a protection measure. The bill went into effect on Friday.

Brockway’s first tip?

When is ‘zoning out’ something to check on?

Dear Dr. roaCH: At age 69, I still “zone out” briefly, losing time and location. In grade school I was always told that I daydreamed too much, and at one point was deemed “rather slow” on my report card. I repeated sixth grade. I once missed a flight when my name was called, as I was “zoned out.” There are too many examples to note, but I’m wondering if I am a victim of absence seizures. My research through a website indicates that this is possible. Should I speak with my PCP about this? Is it dangerous? Should I just cope with it? (As an aside, the “rather slow” comment is humorous now, as I am a member of MENSA!) — J.S. anSWer: It is possible for children with partial complex seizures (there are several types of seizures that can cause staring spells, not just child absence epilepsy) to be misdiagnosed with inattention, but to get the diagnosis at age 69 is outside of my experience — 90 percent of children diagnosed with CAE are seizure-free 15 years after diagnosis, so you would be a remarkable case for several reasons.

“Zoning out” does not require a pathologic diagnosis. There may be no abnormalities in your brain at all, anatomically or physiologically. Still, people with epilepsy range across all levels of function, from very low to very high.

I would recommend that you talk to your primary doctor about it. He or she might recommend an evaluation with a neurologist, likely to include an EEG. Dear Dr. roaCH: I was recently diagnosed with gastroparesis. I am concerned that gastroparesis might affect the absorption of medicines.

I take Nexium, but I want to know whether there is anything I can do to prevent the condition from worsening.

— J.M. anSWer: Gastroparesis is a condition where the stomach does not contract normally, slowing down absorption of food and usually causing symptoms of bloating and distention, and often nausea, vomiting and pain in the stomach area.

Most commonly, the causes of gastroparesis are unknown, but causes can include diabetes, viral infections, medication and surgery. Some neurologic diseases, such as multiple sclerosis, also can cause gastroparesis. It stems from an inadequate nerve supply to and in the stomach, rather than a mechanical problem. Some of these are irreversible, but most of the idiopathic and postviral cases will improve by themselves, although it may take months. Dietary treatment, including eating multiple smaller meals and avoiding insoluble fiber and excess fat helps. Avoiding alcohol and nicotine does as well.

Absorption of food and medication happens largely in the small intestine, so medication absorption usually is complete, although it may be delayed.

Chief cook, bottle washer has had enough Dear amy: I am lucky enough to have my adult bachelor son (in his 30s) live near me. His father and I are in our late 60s, both self-employed, and have no retirement savings. It was always my dream to have an “equal marriage,” have my own career and be financially independent, but because of the stressful nature of my husband’s business and limited employment opportunities where we live, I ended up working part time and being a support person for the family instead.

Because I don’t make much money, I have assumed responsibility for all the cooking and housekeeping throughout my marriage, to make sure I am doing my share.

I love having my son nearby, and I invite him to dinner at least once a month. I don’t, however, feel comfortable with him raiding my fridge and cupboards and eating up all my leftovers when he stops by uninvited.

He works full time and can’t understand why he should have to do all his own cooking and cleaning, too. He does not invite us to his house for dinner, though he is sweet about taking me out on my birthday and Mother’s Day. I have invited him to eat with us anytime he is lonely, if he brings a potluck dish.

I spend far too much time in the kitchen.

Ask Amy

Amy Dickinson I have gardened and cooked healthy, balanced meals for the family for 40 years, which requires a lot of time and work.

I feel guilty when I set food limits for my son, and he rubs it in.

My husband never backed me up when I tried to set limits for my children, and that attitude has continued.

I need some reassurance that my viewpoint is valid. My son has become a workaholic like his father, and he never has time to take care of the homemaking basics.

What do you think?

— Done In Dear Done In: Just because you chose to be a homemaker, it doesn’t mean that you are relegated to cook, clean and wait on the family for the rest of your life. You need to convey to your family members that, except for certain hours and under specific conditions, the kitchen is closed.

Tell your son your household’s leftovers from the night before are not his for the taking. The groceries you

shopped for and carried home are not community property.

If your son charges into your kitchen and eats the leftovers saved for that day’s meal, then your hard-working husband is just going to have to be hungry for a while. Tell him, “Our son ate your dinner.”

Your son’s choice to manipulate you over this should embarrass him.

Dear amy: I’ve been off and on with a guy for 21 years. I love him, but I’ve never met his family or friends. I’m never invited to his home, but he comes to mine (off and on).

I’ve tried to break it off with him several times.

I’m getting older (we are both 54), and he still does not want to commit.

When I don’t hear from him, it hurts me to think he’s with someone else.

I’m sure he has someone else in his life.

I think sometimes I’m losing my mind, especially when I’m with him.

How do I get over him and move on?

— Heartbroken Dear Heartbroken: You can be sure that this man has other people — probably several other people (including, possibly, wives and children).

I’m so sorry you are locked into this unhealthy relationship. It obviously makes you miserable.

You already know what you need to do, and that

is to leave it completely.

Break up, cut off and block all contact.

This will be like giving up nicotine or alcohol.

You should ask a close friend or family member to help you through this, to hold your hand and offer you support during those times when you’re feeling down. Counseling would also help.

You were trained to tolerate this by a manipulator. In order to take your power back, you will have to retrain yourself to get away, and stay away.

Dear amy: “Heartbroken” is heartbroken because her adult son is moving away.

Real heartbreak is when you lose your son to an illness — like I did!

Maybe this son has had enough of her smothering! I would tell him to go for it, and get far, far away from this helicopter mother.

— Real Heartbreak Dear Heartbreak: I’m so sorry.

And yes — you make an excellent point about perspective. Thank you.

works with a large firework distributor to design each year’s show. The city goes to Atlanta Pyrotechnics with pictures of examples of the types of fireworks needed and ideas. The company makes them in-house.

This year, the show — which is today at 10 p.m. after other Independence Day activities starting at 6 p.m. — costs about $9,000.

“We’re adding a little bit more oomph and pizazz,” Waddell said. “Every year we’ve done something a little bigger and bigger.”

The show requires a large “fallout zone,” which is blocked off on the backside of City Hall to ensure no debris starts a fire or hurts someone.

The show includes several hundred devices that offer varying visual effects.

There’s the starburst style, the corkscrew style, “one that looks like it’s raining sparkles.”

To set them up and off, the fireworks company

Also helpful are vets from the American Legion, who stand side to side at the edge of the town green

to keep people out of the fallout zone. They call themselves The Green Line of Defense.

Event workers use walkie-talkies to communicate.

There’s a 10-minute countdown.

The last five minutes are the most hectic, Waddell said.

There’s a 15-second count.

The crew lights the fuses.

Everyone looks up.

finally strong enough to return home.

“That’s when she noticed a large amount of her personal belongings gone from her home,” Woodruff said.

A detective came to visit with her about the case and noticed a check on a table. It was from Vickie’s account, but was clearly made out by someone else.

The detective got her bank records and found numerous fraudulent charges.

Between July 1 and Oct. 31, 2015, the housekeeper’s husband had forged $4,300 worth of checks, Woodruff said.

Then there were bank card purchases for gas, dinners out, trips to the liquor store. The husband is even accused of using the card at an ATM at the police department to pay a speeding ticket.

The card charges amounted to another

$10,000.

Tamara and Phillip Williams face charges of elder abuse and fraud.

Gwinnett Medical Center released a statement about the housekeeper’s suspension.

“While the charges do not seem at this time to be based on the employee’s conduct at Gwinnett Medical Center, per GMC policy, this employee has been indefinitely suspended pending completion of the police investigation,” it said. “GMC officials will continue to offer their full cooperation to the Duluth Police Department.”

The wife was arrested Thursday and has left jail, according to booking records. The husband was booked Friday and had no bond in the early afternoon.

Woodruff said authorities intend to seek “many more counts of forgery and fraud” in the indictment.

PRESS RELEASE ANNOUNCING A PROPOSED PROPERTY TAX INCREASE THE CITY OF GRAYSON TODAY ANNOUNCES ITS INTENTION TO INCREASE THE PROPERTY TAXES IT WILL LEVY THIS YEAR BY TWENTY THREE POINT FIVE TWO PERCENT (23.52%) Each year the Gwinnett County board of assessors is required to review the assessed value for property tax purposes of taxable property in the county. When the trend of prices on properties that have recently sold in the county indicate there has been an increase in the fair market value of any specific property, the board of tax assessors is required by law to re-determine the value of such property and increase the assessment. This is called reassessment.

When the total digest of taxable property is prepared, Georgia Law requires that a rollback millage rate must be computed that will produce the same total revenue on the current year’s new digest that last year’s millage rate would have produced had no reassessments occurred.

The City of Grayson has elected to set the millage rate at 2.10 mills, which is a millage rate higher than the rollback millage rate. Therefore, before the City of Grayson may finalize the tentative budget and set a final millage rate, Georgia Law requires that three public hearings be held to allow the public an opportunity to express their opinions on this increase.

FBI talks to Clinton about server

By Emily Flitter Reuters

NEW YORK — The Federal Bureau of Investigation interviewed Democratic U.S. presidential candidate Hillary Clinton for three and a half hours on Saturday as part of the probe into her use of a private email server while serving as secretary of state, her campaign said.

The interview at FBI headquarters in Washington followed a week of intense public focus on the investigation and on Clinton’s viability as a presidential candidate, which her campaign has tried for months to downplay as a distraction.

“Secretary Clinton gave a voluntary interview this morning about her email arrangements while she was Secretary,” campaign spokesman Nick Merrill said in a statement. Clinton would not comment further on her interview, he said.

Crab traps pose growing threat to whales along West Coast

LOS ANGELES — A blue whale found tangled in plastic rope off California has become a symbol for a little-known but growing hazard faced by the ocean’s largest creatures along the U.S. Pacific Coast — commercial crab traps dotting the sea floor and drifting astray by the thousands.

several possible factors for the trend, including a recent warming of ocean currents that may have altered whale migration and feeding patterns, putting them in closer proximity to crabbing operations.

But experts also point to the mounting numbers of stray traps abandoned or torn loose by rough weather and boat traffic over the years, and the lack of a comprehensive, year-round

“It’s a cumulative problem that creates an obstacle course for whales that only gets more cluttered year by year,” said Steve Jones, a spokesman for the Center for Biological Diversity, an environmental group.

There is little solid data to quantify the number of these roving, underwater hazards.

Gwinnett County offers July 4 weekend events

By Erika WElls

Cities in Gwinnett County will offer plenty of activities for their communities this Fourth of July weekend — despite the chance of showers and thunderstorms interrupting sunny weather.

Lilburn The city of Lilburn takes pride in hosting its annual Sparkle in the Park event at Lilburn City Park starting at 5 p.m. July 4.

“This is a pretty patriotic community,” said Nikki Perry, the city’s public relations manager. “This has become an important event for the families that live here.”

About 12,000 people are expected to attend the event at the park at 76 Main St., Perry said.

In its sixth year, the event will feature a variety of food and live music from the Glow band. The Atlantabased group was a hit last year, she said.

“They played songs that people could sing along with,” Perry said. “Everyone was singing and dancing until the fireworks started.”

She said attendees arrive early to set up lawn chairs and blankets, and there will be activities to keep children busy until the fireworks show starts at about 9:30 p.m.

The city will post updates in case of severe weather on its website and social media, but Perry said the show will go on except in the case of lightning.

“America only turns 240 only once,” she said. “We plan to celebrate even if there’s a little rain.”

Lilburn Police Department will keep an eye on things at the event with trained officers and bombsniffing dogs.

“We’ve always done a pretty good job providing security,” Lilburn Police Lt. Chris Dusick said. Dusick said the department does not

plan to do anything different but asks attendees to be patient especially at the end of the event.

“There’s going to be a big crowd in a small space,” he said. “Follow the officers’ directions when leaving so it will be smooth and people can leave quickly.”

Sparks from consumertype fireworks could start fires and endanger nearby people and structures, Rutledge said.

“Consumer fireworks, or devices that explode or launch into the air may only be sold from a brickand-mortar storefront,” he said.

They should be purchased from a licensed and reputable vendor — not from tents or makeshift vending sites, Rutledge said.

The City of Snellville has tentatively adopted a millage rate which will require an increase in property taxes of 5.50 percent. All concerned citizens are invited to the public hearing on this tax increase to be held at Snellville City Hall, 2342 Oak Road, Snellville, GA 30078 on Wednesday, July 6, 2016 at 6:00 p.m. Times and places of additional public hearings on this tax increase are at Snellville City Hall on Monday, July 11, 2016 at 7:30 p.m. and Wednesday, July 13, 2016 at 6:00 p.m. This tentative increase will result in a millage rate of 4.588 mills, an increase of 0.239 mills over the rollback rate, but no actual millage rate increase from last year. Without this tentative tax increase, the millage rate would be no more than the rollback rate of 4.349 mills.

The proposed tax increase for a home with fair market value of $175,000 is approximately $16.73 and the proposed tax increase for non-homestead property (Commercial) with a fair market value of $550,000 is approximately $52.58.

Mall of Georgia hosting holiday blood drive

By Erika WElls

in partnership with the American Red Cross from noon to 5 p.m. through July 4.

Each donation can save The Mall of Georgia will up to three lives, said Kristen give visitors an opportunity Stancil, external commuto show their patriotism by nications manager for the donating blood in Buford this Southern Blood Services Fourth of July weekend.

Region. The region includes The mall at 3333 Buford most of Georgia and parts of Drive will host a blood drive Florida and South Carolina, erika.wells @gwinnettdailypost.com

•From Page 1A Support has poured in for Stovall, with an online fundraiser (www.gofundme. com/2b9nw64) bringing in $35,000 by Saturday afternoon.

Stovall’s family, including husband of 33 years Bill and son Nick, has been thankful.

Stancil said.

The region needs about 1,200 donations of blood and platelets per day, she said.

Stancil said blood donations typically decline in the summer because people are out of town.

“However, the need is still constant,” she said. “Patients don’t get a vacation or break

from needing blood.”

Across the country, there is always demand for the universal type-O negative blood, which can be transfused through a patient and often used in emergencies, Stancil said.

Blood donation will take place on the upper level near Dick’s Sporting Goods.

Donors will receive a free gift from the Red Cross while supplies last.

As a precaution to donors, the organization issued a statement on its website — “The American Red Cross is closely monitoring the Zika virus. We ask you not to donate if any Zika virus risk exposures apply to you.

We are asking you to return to donate blood four weeks after your last risk exposure.

All other eligibility requirements still apply.”

For more information, visit www.redcrossblood. org. Donors may schedule an appointment in advance on the website using the code “moga” for Mall of Georgia.

A day later, multiple doctors had reviewed “every possible scenario,” Samantha said, and decided that even if Stovall ever woke up, she would be so far gone that she wouldn’t know her own identity.

“Mom would never want to live like that,” she said.

The family planned to

have Stovall moved to hospice today.

The daughter closed: “It goes without saying that we are losing the most vivacious and incredible woman the world has ever known.

“This will be my last post.

archaeology and history program for teachers at nearby schools.

The two groups hope to have a three-sided blacksmith shop built and installed on the site by this fall, but they are in the process of seeking a grant to pay for it.

D’Angelo has met with commission Chairwoman Charlotte Nash and other county leaders to discuss the preliminary plans for recreating the fort, but he said there are several steps to go through before it could happen — if it happens.

The county will go through its own master plan development process once the third parcel is purchased.

D’Angelo said that will render the foundation’s plan moot.

“The fort option is something that has to be formally decided upon and cited and all of the rest of that in that master plan that comes out of that process,” he said.

“People are excited about the possibility of the fort reconstruction, but we have to go through that process in order to include that and other facilities.”

Stovall “I have no words to say on how we are feeling except for the fact that our family is extremely grateful,” Nick wrote on a Facebook group page created in his mother’s name. “Let’s all take the time to remember my mom before all this happened. The fun loving, happy-go-lucky, caring mom we all knew.”

The daughter has been posting updates on her mother’s condition.

One of the first contained news that her left leg was amputated below the knee.

Her right leg was also shattered.

“Our biggest concern is her brain,” the daughter said.

“She has a bolt in place to

monitor the swelling and trauma to her brain, but the swelling is intense.”

This Thursday, a week after the wreck, she said her mother’s condition was status quo.

“It’s really just the waiting game right now,” she wrote.

“We were hoping she’d be awake by now.”

Fort Daniel

•From Page 1A “When you stood right here and looked across (what is now Ga. Highway 124), you were looking at Indian territory,” Fort Daniel Foundation member Wayne Stancel said. “Across the street wasn’t U.S. territory.

This was the frontier. This was the line … and it didn’t last long. Five, six years later, boom, it was gone. We were inside and Alabama was the frontier, and then the Mississippi River was the frontier.”

Volunteers from the foundation and Gwinnett Archaeological Research Society, also known as GARS, have worked together to preserve the site as an education area since the foundation signed a lease with county officials to run it.

The groups are working on plans to someday build a rough, life-sized recreation of what the fort probably looked like in 1813. Those plans are based on evidence discovered through research and archaeological digs, which have led to the discovery of several historical treasures at the site.

“In no means is it a replica because we have no way of knowing for sure what it looked like,” Fort Daniel Foundation President Jim D’Angelo said.

Fort Daniel’s place in Gwinnett History The War of 1812 is known for a few things in the annals of American history. It gave birth to the Star-Spangled Banner and the death of Capt. James Lawrence (namesake of Lawrenceville) in a naval battle led to “Don’t Give Up the Ship” becoming the unofficial battle cry of U.S. Navy to this day.

But the area that would become Gwinnett County played its own role in the war, through Fort Daniel.

“It’s very, very important because it was here before the county existed,” said Gwinnett Historical Society co-President Betty Warbington about the fort’s place in county history.

When it was built, Fort Daniel was located along what is known as The Hawkins Line, which separated land where Georgia residents were allowed to settle from Native American territories. During the War of 1812, Creek Indians were an ally of the British.

The fort is named for Maj. Gen. Allen Daniel, who was the commander of the Georgia Militia’s 4th Division.

In October 1813, Daniel ordered Brig. Gen. Frederick Beall to have the division’s 2nd Brigade build a new fort at Hog Mountain to replace one that was deemed to be inadequate, according to the Fort Daniel Foundation’s website.

The fort also shares a link to one of Gwinnett County’s earliest figures: Elisha Winn, namesake of the Elisha Winn House, which still stands and is the oldest structure in the county.

“Elisha Winn provided, I believe, food to the fort,” GARS president Delana Gilmore said. “When we

Clockwise from top is the archaeological dig site along the tree line at the Fort Daniel property, the location of one of Fort Daniel’s blockhouses.

Brexit: A Sovereign Kingdom or little England?

WASHINGTON — Given their arrogance, pomposity and habitual absurdities, it is hard not to feel a certain satisfaction with the comeuppance that Brexit has delivered to the unaccountable European Union bureaucrats in Brussels.

Nonetheless, we would do well to refrain from smug condescension. Unity is not easy. What began in 1951 as a six-member European Coal and Steel Community was grounded in a larger conception of a united Europe born from the ashes of World War II. Seven decades into the postwar era, Britain wants out and the EU is facing an existential crisis.

Yet where were we Americans seven decades into our great experiment Charles Krauthammer in continental confederation, our “more perfect union” contracted under the Constitution of 1787? At Fort Sumter.

The failure of our federal idea gave us civil war and 600,000 dead. And we had the advantage of a common language, common heritage and common memory of heroic revolutionary struggle against a common (British) foe. Europe had none of this. The European project tries to forge the union of dozens of disparate peoples, ethnicities, languages and cultures, amid the searing memories of the two most destructive wars in history fought among and against each other.

The result is the EU, a great idea badly executed. The founding motive was obvious and noble: to reconcile the combatants of World War II, most especially France and Germany, and create conditions that would ensure there could be no repetition. Onto that was appended the more utopian vision of a continental superstate that would once and for all transcend parochial nationalism.

That vision blew up with Brexit on June 23.

But we mustn’t underestimate the significance, and improbability, of the project’s more narrow but still singular achievement — peace. It has given Europe the most extended period of internal tranquility since the Roman Empire. (In conjunction, of course, with NATO, which provided Europe with its American umbrella against external threat.)

Not only is there no armed conflict among European states. The very idea is inconceivable.

(Fighting between the various nations has been subcontracted to soccer hooligans.) This on a continent where war had been the norm for a millennium.

Give the EU its due. Despite its comical fauxnational paraphernalia of flag, anthem and useless parliament, it has championed and advanced a transnational idea that has helped curb the nationalist excesses that culminated in two world wars.

Advanced not quite enough, however. Certainly not enough to support its disdainful, often dismissive, treatment of residual nationalisms and their democratic expressions. Despite numerous objections by referendum and parliament, which it routinely either ignored or circumvented, the EU continued its relentless drive for more centralization, more regulation and thus more power for its unelected self.

Such high-handed overriding of popular sentiment could go on only so long. Until June 23, 2016, to be precise.

To be sure, popular sentiment was rather narrowly divided. The most prominent disparity in the British vote was generational. The young, having grown up in the new Europe, are more comfortable with its cosmopolitanism and have come to expect open borders, open commerce and open movement of people. They voted overwhelmingly — by 3 to 1 — to Remain. Leave was mainly the position of an older generation no longer willing to tolerate European assaults on British autonomy and sovereignty.

Understandably so. Here is Britain, inventor of the liberal idea and home to the mother of parliaments, being instructed by a bunch of pastry-eating Brussels bureaucrats on everything from the proper size of pomegranates to the human rights of terrorists.

Widely mentioned, and resented, was the immigration directive to admit other EU citizens near automatically. But what pushed the Leave side over the top was less policy than primacy.

Who runs Britain? Amazingly, about half of the laws and regulations that govern British life today come not from Westminster but from Brussels.

Brexit was an assertion of national sovereignty and an attempt, in one fell swoop, to recover it.

There is much to admire in that impulse. But at what cost? Among its casualties may be not just the European project (other exit referendums are already being proposed) but possibly the United Kingdom itself. The Scots are already talking about another vote for independence. And Northern Ireland, which voted to remain in the EU, might well seek to unite with the Republic.

Talk about a great idea executed badly. In seeking a newly sovereign United Kingdom, the Brits might well find themselves having produced a little England.

July 4 is watermelon time It is almost the Fourth of July, so I guess I can go out and buy a watermelon now.

You might not believe this, what with all the options we have in modern supermarkets, with their Chilean fruit and Asian tilapia and what not, but back in the day my daddy would pitch a fit if one of us even hinted at wanting a watermelon before Independence Day. It didn’t have anything to do with patriotism or the calendar, understand. It had to do with money. Homer Huckaby didn’t like to waste it, and to pay more than 50 cents for a watermelon was against his religion, or at least that’s the way it seemed to us. He wasn’t cheap, understand, just frugal. I am not sure what the difference is, but I know that when he died and we went to Don Ballard’s office to settle his estate, he gave us a certificate saying that he died owing nobody anything. They won’t be able to say that about me, I’ll bet you.

But back to that red, luscious fruit that signaled we were knee-deep in summer back in the ’50s, when school didn’t start back until after Labor Day, like God and Eugene Talmadge intended. We didn’t eat imported melons back in those days, and anything that came from south of Cordele was considered imported.

Darrell Huckaby Watermelons from Mexico?

Might as well have come from Somalia. Florida watermelons?

Nope. Pulled green. Not sweet enough. And too expensive.

But when the Fourth of July got here, so did the local melons. Back before George W. Bush messed up the climate so bad, we looked forward to that day almost as much as the day in the fall of the year when Daddy brought the first tangerines home from the store.

We all wanted to be in on picking out the watermelons. I liked the long green ones with light colored stripes because they looked like the ones in the drawings in my Walt Disney’s Uncle Remus book. Don’t tell anybody because they might think I’m racist, but I still have one of those books and read it to my grandson Henley — Mr. Adorable — almost every day.

My sister, Myron, liked the dark green watermelons that were big and round. We called them Stone Mountain grays

back in the day.

No matter which one we wanted, Daddy had the final say and bought the one he thought was the ripest — and offered the most delicious red fruit for the money.

At my house we buy watermelons year-round now, and my lovely wife, Lisa, cuts them up and stores the fruit in Tupperware containers in the refrigerator. I have some almost every day, but nothing compares to the thrill of a watermelon cutting in Porterdale in the middle of the summer.

We’d call all the neighbors over and pass out the knives to everyone — nobody worth the lint in his hair ate watermelon with anything but a knife — and Daddy would stick the big kitchen knife in the end of the melon and pull backward. I would listen for the sound of the melon popping open, which would indicate that it was dead ripe, while Mama spread newspapers all around. We always cut watermelons on the back porch or out in the yard.

Daddy would always say the same thing. “This one’s green as grass. I guess it’s not any good,” and we would all moan and groan, and then he would pop it open, revealing ripe red deliciousness.

Then he would cut it in fourths and again into eighths or sixteenths if need be, depending

on how big a crowd had gathered. Naturally I would put salt on mine. A man who doesn’t put salt on his watermelon probably won’t put sugar in his tea.

I don’t think they had seedless watermelons in those days, and I don’t like ’em, even now.

They just don’t taste as sweet, no matter what anybody says, and besides, eating around the seeds and spittin’ seeds is just part of the fun.

My uncle used to haul watermelons. He’d take a truck down to Cordele or somewhere below the gnat line and come back with a big load of melons that he would sell in his country store. I used to stay with him and my aunt during the summer and cut grass and work in the store.

He had just gotten home from South Georgia with a load of melons one day and left the truck parked at the store while he went up to the house to eat dinner. I decided to surprise him by unloading the truck. Imagine my surprise when I got most of the melons off and realized that the center of the truck was full of something else he had brought up from South Georgia to sell. I don’t know for sure what it was, but it looked like cloudy water and was stored in half-gallon fruit jars.

It’s the Fourth of July. Let’s all have a watermelon. Don’t forget the salt, y’all.

There are still good politicians around This is a bit weird. I find myself in the position of having to defend politicians. Well, not all of them, just the good ones.

The subject came up recently about my precocious greatgrandson Cameron Charles Yarbrough, who is 7, going on 37.

Cameron never meets a stranger, acts more adult than many adults and has charisma to burn.

Someone remarked that he was a natural politician, which brought the usual “Hopefully he’ll grow out of it” and “He has too much integrity” and the usual put-downs of those in politics.

Much of the criticism of politics and politicians is spot-on, particularly as it relates to Washington, where Potomac Fever is alive and well and has prostituted many a well-meaning soul sent there to save the world (and reduce our taxes) and who have ended up becoming legends in their own minds. They are a subject for another day.

And then there are the mindless ideologues in our Legislature who pay more heed to the desires of special interest groups than to their constituents. These people would lick the bark off a tree if told to do so by nefarious groups like the American Legislative Exchange Council.

They, too, are a subject for another day.

But there are exceptions to the rule, and two of those excep-

Dick Yarbrough tions are state senators with whom I had the pleasure to get to know and to serve with on the Governor’s Education Reform Commission. One, Sen. Lindsey Tippins, R-Cobb, is chairman of the Senate Education and Youth Committee, the go-to committee for public education issues among other things. The other is Sen. Jack Hill, R-Reidsville, chairman of the powerful Senate Appropriations Committee.

What sets these two men apart from many in the political arena is that neither seems interested in running for higher office and, thus, anxious to get their mugs on the nightly news, hoping to dazzle you with their pontifications.

Neither senator, I suspect, has to be doing this at all. Both are senior citizen status, with successful business backgrounds — Tippins a pipeline contractor and Hill a retired grocer.

Lindsey Tippins came to the state Senate in 2010 after the incumbent in that district got too

big for his britches and thought he was more important than did the voters. Previously, Tippins had served 12 years on the Cobb County Board of Education, including three as chairman.

I would dare say he knows as much about public education issues as anyone in the legislature and has been a good buffer to the ideological bark lickers who seem intent on dismantling public education the first chance they get.

As chairman of the Senate Appropriations Committee, Sen. Hill, now in his 13th term, has helped the state of Georgia maintain a Triple-A bond rating from the national rating agencies. This, while representing a widespread senatorial district that covers Bulloch, Candler and Effingham counties, as well as parts of Emanuel, Evans and Tattnall counties. He even managed to show up at the Effingham County Chamber’s annual meeting recently to sit through the ramblings of a modest and much-beloved columnist and laughed in all the right places.

Sens. Hill and Tippins were a part of the Commission’s Funding Committee, as was I. It was instructive to watch them work. Our role was to develop a new vehicle for funding public education that would replace the 30-year-old Quality Basic Education Act. It was like drinking from a firehose. A lot

of information to digest and extremely tight deadlines in which to do it. Yet not even the minutest detail got by Sen. Tippins without some justification for its inclusion by the commission’s staff. Sen. Hill sat quietly and said little. But when he did, everybody listened and usually agreed because his comments were right on the mark.

Both men will return to the Legislature in January because neither had primary opposition.

Both will be instrumental in what happens to the recommendations of the Education Reform Commission. Their wisdom and political gravitas will be needed, because a lot of the ideologues are mad at the governor for reasons having nothing to do with public education and will likely try and take it out on our schools.

So before we cast stones at all politicians, we would do well to remember that most are good people trying to do good things.

Jack Hill and Lindsey Tippins are two of them. I would suggest the ideological bark lickers in the Legislature follow their example. Maybe then we would like all politicians better.

Afterward she recharged a bit before preparing for the Curtis Cup in Ireland.

“I took couple of days to relax and kind of forget about golf, especially after the disappointing round at nationals,” Tardy said.

Bailey Tardy flew to California ahead of this week’s U.S. Women’s Open with a manageable blend of excitement and nerves.

“This year it’s more try to complete than the wow factor,” Tardy said. “I can actually control my nerves and see this might be my future.”

Two years ago, as a senior at Norcross, Tardy competed in her first U.S. Open on Pinehurst’s hallowed grounds.

She was the first to tee

the following day, but still missed the cut by nine strokes.

“I feel like I could not be any more nervous than I was (at Pinehurst),” said Tardy, who again earned her spot at the Open through the qualifier in Butler, Pa. “Not to say I won’t be nervous, but I’ll be more confident and more comfortable.

“You play to be nervous, that’s the thrill of golf. I want to have that edgy side, that feeling inside you. That’s what you’re there for. If you’re not nervous, you’re not in the right spot.”

Tardy has been in some more high-pressure situations lately. She and the Bulldogs won their

From Staff Reports OMAHA, Neb. — One spot higher and Amanda Weir could have swam the 100-meter freestyle individually at this summer’s Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

The Brookwood grad and SwimAtlanta product was third in the 100 free finals Friday night at the U.S. Olympic Trials — only the top two in each event qualify for swim the event individually — but the result was far from a loss.

Weir’s finish earned a spot on the U.S. team as a relay swimmer, locking up the third Olympic appearance of her career. She won three combined medals, Amanda two silvers Weir and a bronze, at her last two appearances (Athens, Greece in 2004 and London in 2012).

“I’m so honored to have qualified for my third Olympic team tonight and am overwhelmed with gratitude as I see how many wonderful friends, family and teammates supported me through these stressful days here at Olympic Trials,” Weir said.

“To know I have so many supporting me and sharing in my triumphs and disappointments alike means the world to me and I am so grateful to all of you.

Thank you. I can’t wait to represent the USA again and tear it up in Rio.” In Friday’s 100 free finals, the 30-year-old Weir finished behind a pair of 19-year-olds, winner Abbey Weitzeil and runner-up Simone Manuel. Weitzeil had a time of 53.28 seconds and Manuel’s time was 53.52. Weir, who holds the American record in the event at 53.02, was third in 53.75.

Weir also will get a chance to qualify individually for the 50 free after qualifying Saturday night for today’s final. She just snuck into the top-eight final with a time of 25.08 in the semis, finishing fourth in her heat.

The Peachtree Road Race is a tradition for Nicole DiMercurio, dating back to her freshman year at North Gwinnett when she jogged the race with her father for the first time. Along the way, the Fourth of July memories have amassed.

Last year’s Peachtree certainly stands out among them.

was a 53-second improvement from the previous summer and trailed only Oregon trained Alexi Pappas, who will compete for Greece in this summer’s Olympics.

“Absolutely I was surprised,” said the 25-year-old, who runs the Peachtree again Monday. “I always joke about it. Even running it, I was going, ‘There must be something wrong. Did I miss a mile mark?’ Crossing the finish

line I remember thinking, ‘What just happened? Honestly, about a month after that I was checking the results and refreshing them (online). It was still such a surprise to me. It’s been a few years of hard training so it was nice to see it pay off.”

The successful finish was a highlight of the past few years for DiMercurio, who graduated from Georgia, where she was an All-Southeastern Conference

performer, in 2014 with a communications degree. From there, she gave professional running a shot and moved to Greenville, S.C., competing for Asics Greenville Track Club Elite.

Piercy ties Day for Bridgestone lead The Sports Xchange AKRON, Ohio — Scott Piercy continues to ride the high from tying for second in the U.S. Open two weeks ago.

Piercy, who has won three times on the PGA Tour, shot 3-under-par 67 on Saturday to tie top-ranked Jason Day of Australia for the lead after three rounds of the WGCBridgestone Invitational at Firestone Country Club in Akron, Ohio.

“It definitely helped my confidence because it was so tough to hit the fairway in the U.S. Open,” said Piercy, who sank a 48-foot bunker shot for eagle on the second hole and held sole possession of the lead until making his lone bogey at No. 18 to finish even with Day at 5-under 205 for 54 holes. “It’s difficult here, too, but not quite as hard.

“I played a clean round with not a lot of stress and my putter saved me when I was in trouble. If I can keep driving it well, I think I have a good chance tomorrow.”

Day, who has won three times this season, fought his swing all day but scrambled for a 69, sinking a 35-foot birdie putt on the 15th hole after falling back with two bogeys late on the first nine.

Piercy and Day were the only players to break par each of the first three days at stingy Firestone.

“I didn’t know where my golf ball was going,” said Day, who birdied two of the first six holes, but spent most of the round chipping and putting to save par. “I was desperate. I was trying to play a draw and kept losing it right.

“I hit a lot of errant

the water while making a double-bogey 7 on the 16th hole but still managed a 70 to tie for eighth, four shots down, with Emiliano Grillo of Argentina, who had two late bogeys in a 71.

Second-ranked Jordan Spieth went Thomas one better with a triple-bogey 8 with a water ball at No. 16 and recorded a 71 that left him five back in a tie for 10th with Kevin Chappell, who had three birdies in five holes through No. 12 in a 69.

Bubba Watson was tied for 12th after a 70, Adam Scott shot 73 and was tied for 18th, Rickie Fowler had a 72 to tie for 22nd, Phil Mickelson’s 73 left him in a tie for 33rd, and defending champion Shane Lowry of Ireland was tie for 40th following a 70.

shots, but my short game saved me. I was just trying to get the ball up around the greens somewhere. The positive is, I haven’t hit the ball well and I’m still tied for the lead.

“Hopefully tomorrow I can hit some fairways and greens, and give myself more chances for birdies.”

David Lingmerth, whose only PGA Tour victory came in the 2015 Memorial Tournament, also was tied for the lead before making a bogey on No. 16 and was one stroke back in third, while Brian Stuard had a 67 and was another shot behind in fourth.

U.S. Open champion

Dustin Johnson birdied four of the last six holes on the front nine en route to a 66 that was the low score of the day and was three strokes back in a tie for fifth with Charl Schwartzel of South Africa, who had a 67, and first-round leader William McGirt, who came in at 70.

“I’ve been working hard on my distance control with my wedges and that was working today,” Johnson said. “I’m only a few back, but I have to go out there and put together another special round tomorrow to have a chance to win, but you never know.”

Justin Thomas hit into

Henderson takes 2-shot lead to final round PORTLAND, Ore. — Defending champion Brooke Henderson fired a 2-under-par 70 to forge a two-stroke lead over Marijao Uribe on Saturday after three rounds of the LPGA Cambia Classic at Columbia Edgewater Country Club.

The Canadian, who started the day tied with Suzann Pettersen of Norway for the 36-hole lead at 11-under par 133, was at 13-under 203 after the third round.

Uribe, one shot back after two rounds, carved out a 71 in round three.

Pettersen struggled to a 74 to fall four shots back.

The 35-year-old is tied for third with Austin Ernst.

Henderson, 18, earned her first win on the LPGA Tour in last year’s Cambia Classic. She took up where she left off by taking the first-round lead with a 65.

Six Gwinnett players named U.S. Lacrosse All-Americans

NO JOKE

American Querrey shocks Djokovic at Wimbledon LONDON — American Sam Querrey pulled off a shocking upset of world No. 1 Novak Djokovic at Wimbledon on Saturday, ending the top seed’s streak of Grand Slam wins at four.

The 6-foot-6 Querrey, seeded 28th, completed the 7-6 (6), 6-1, 3-6, 7-6 (5) third-round win in a match that carried over from Friday because of rain at the All England Club in London.

“It’s incredible, especially here at Wimbledon, the biggest tournament in the world,” Querrey, 28, said on the court after the match. “I’m so ecstatic.”

Querrey, a California native, led the 29-year-old Serbian after taking the first two sets Friday when persistent rain postponed the match until Saturday.

When play resumed Saturday, Djokovic quickly took a 5-0 lead en route to winning the third set.

Djokovic then served for the fourth at 5-4, but he was broken by Querrey and they headed to a tiebreaker. The match closed on a forehand error

by Djokovic.

“Congratulations to Sam. He played a terrific match,” Djokovic said in his post-match press conference. “He serves very well, as he usually does. I think that part of his game was brutal today. He made a lot of free points with the first serve. Just well done.

He just overpowered me.”

Querrey endured three more rain delays Saturday to improve to 21-1 in his career when winning the first two sets. He finished the match with 31 aces.

“I’m really excited.

It’s an unbelievable win,” Querrey said in a postmatch interview before heading off to play doubles.

“To do it here at Wimbledon is really special. … I served well the whole time, played a great tiebreaker at the end to get the win.”

Querrey is the first American to beat a world No. 1 at a Grand Slam since Andre Agassi defeated Lleyton Hewitt in the semifinals of the 2002 U.S. Open.

Djokovic hadn’t lost at any major tournament in more than a year. He was beaten by Stan Wawrinka in the French Open final in June 2015. Since then, Djokovic won his third title at Wimbledon last July, his second at the U.S. Open in September, his sixth at the Australian Open in January and his first at the French Open less than a month ago.

Djokovic has the thirdlongest Grand Slam match streak at 30 in the history of men’s tennis. The longest winning streak at majors for a man is 37 matches, set by

Don Budge from 1937-38, followed by Rod Laver with 31. Djokovic was bidding for a 13th major championship overall.

Djokovic holds all four Grand Slam crowns at the same time and was attempting to join Budge as the second player in tennis history to win five straight majors. Budge won six successive titles between 1937 Wimbledon and the 1938 U.S. Championships.

“I believe in positive things in life,” Djokovic said. “I managed to win four Grand Slams in a row two different seasons. I want to try to focus on that rather than on failure.

“I had my chances maybe in the fourth set, serving for the set. In the tiebreak, I was leading. Just wasn’t feeling the ball as well as I wished. But that’s sports.

“As I said, you know, in sports everything is possible. If you’re playing somebody of as a high quality as Sam Querrey is on this surface with a big serve, anything can happen. I was a few points away from losing last year against Kevin Anderson in a very similar match on the same court. Sometimes it works in your favor, sometimes against. You got to deal with that.”

Querrey will next face Frenchman Nicolas Mahut, who beat countryman and doubles partner PierreHugues Herbert 7-6 (5), 6-4, 3-6, 6-3.

Querrey was joined in the fourth round by fellow American Steve Johnson, who beat Grigor Dimitrov of Bulgaria 6-7 (6), 7-6 (3), 6-4, 6-2 to reach the round of 16. Dimitrov will next play No. 3 Roger Federer.

No. 2 Andy Murray of Scotland made his way into the fourth round by beating John Millman of Australia 6-3, 7-5, 6-2.

Murray is now the odds-on favorite to win his second Wimbledon title.

“I need to reach the final for that (Djokovic) result to have any baring whatsoever on my performance at all,” Murray told the BBC afterwards. “I have very, very tough guys left in my half of the draw, especially in the next round.

“Novak’s run has been amazing. He almost found a way to get back into that one again today. What he’s done over the last 12, 18

Abdullah, Guster compete at trials From Staff Reports EUGENE, Ore. — Brookwood grad Bilal Abdullah became the first Kennesaw State athlete to compete at U.S. Track and Field Olympic Trials

early Saturday at Oregon’s famed Hayward Field.

Abdullah posted a best jump of 7.45 meters (24 feet 5 1/2 inches) to finish 20th in long jump qualifying.

Abdullah recently finished his college career at

Kennesaw State, where he holds 10 school records in indoor and outdoor track and field. He won six conference titles individually, set multiple conference championship meet records and was a two-time NCAA

Buckler •From Page 1B in 21 innings heading into his latest start Friday night against the Alpharetta Braves.

It’s one of the best stretches he can ever remember throughout his career.

“Not for a while, probably since I was 16,” Buckler said when asked if he could remember such a strong number of consecutive outings. “It’s good to get going on something like this, but I couldn’t do it without the defense … on this team. It’s something impressive.”

As impressive as he’s been, Buckler’s recent hot streak seems to have come out of nowhere, at least if you look solely at the numbers — or more specifically, one number — from his freshman season at TCC this spring.

His 4.75 ERA in 60 2/3 innings might look high, but it also might belie how solid most of his other numbers were with the Eagles (3-1 record, 2 saves, 59 Ks).

And Buckler himself admits, adjusting to junior college hitters after dominating high school hitters at times, including a 3-6 record with a 2.35 ERA and 34 strikeouts in 53 2/3 as a senior at Norcross, was a bit tough for him at first.

“To be honest, the hitting down the league down there (at Tallahassee Community College), the Panhandle (Conference), is something I’ve never seen before,” Buckler said. “You can still battle through it, and it’s been fun up here, and it’s been hard down there. But I’ve still enjoyed being down there.

“But it’s easy to adjust to, and you always make friends. My second half (of the season) was definitely better than the first half.”

Regardless of how the numbers were weighted, Crackers manager Kevin Meistickle had no problem recognizing how much Buckler would be able to help his team when the rising sophomore almost

literally fell into his lap just days before the SBL season started.

“All of the sudden, someone’s calling me about him, and it’s a (Crackers) player,” Meistickle recalls. “I said, ‘Where’d he go (to high school), Norcross? Well, that sounds good. Then as soon as I looked up his stats, I said, ‘Wait a minute. This guy can pitch.

As soon as I saw him pitch the first time, it didn’t take more than one glance at him throwing, and I said, ‘I know this guy can pitch.’”

Meistickle’s instincts have proven to be spot on based on Buckler’s performance so far.

But as good as Buckler’s stuff has been, what has impressed Meistickle the most about him so far is his mental toughness and approach to pitching.

“He’s just been building higher and higher as he’s

gone along,” Meistickle said. “I mean, he throws better every time we put him out there. He’s got the size. He’s going to get bigger. I tell you what he’s got, he’s got control. He’s a comebacker. If he gets behind in the count, he fires right back.

“He’s got a couple of things you don’t see in young pitchers his age.

He’s a little more advanced then most guys his age. I like him a lot.”

According to Buckler, the mental approach to pitching becomes easier to him when he has proper command of his pitches, which was a main goal of his when he decided to play in the Sunbelt League this summer.

“Just my command and being able to spot up all my pitches — my fastball, change-up, slider and all that,” Buckler said when asked what the most impor-

first-team All-American during his career.

Berkmar grad Elexis Guster, who runs for Iowa, finished 20th Friday night in the first round of the women’s 400-meter run in 52.72 seconds.

tant thing he’s taken from his summer success so far.

“Just being able to really spot up on the outside corner and bust it inside when I need to and get the ground balls to turn double plays when I need to.”

Buckler’s success with the Crackers has begun to open some eyes outside the league.

While he intends to finish his associate’s degree and pitch one more season at TCC next spring, he is already beginning to hear from four-year college programs that are interested in having him pitch at the next level of college baseball, including West Georgia, Armstrong State, Lee University, Tennessee Wesleyan and Marshall.

Buckler was also recently selected to play for Team USA in the National Baseball Congress World Series in Wichita, Kan., from July 29 through Aug. 13, where he will pitch for a team of some of the top two-year college players from across the nation.

“I’m excited about that.

My (TCC) coach (Mike McLeod) called me up one day and asked if he could recommend me, and I said, ‘Yeah, go for it,’” Buckler said. “To be honest, I didn’t think I was going to make it. When I got the call from the (National team) coach (Zach Crabtree), it was something else. I was pretty excited.”

The only problem for Buckler is that the NBC World Series begins right about the time the SBL playoffs begin, which means he won’t be able to pitch for the Crackers should they advance to the postseason.

However, a chance to pitch on a national stage is something he said he just couldn’t pass up.

“Yeah, that’s the bad part. It’s going to be right when the (SBL) playoffs start,” Buckler said. “So I’ll keep going as hard as I can all the way up to the very end and then shut it down for a little bit, give me a little rest and go see if I can do the same thing over there.”

The hilly course at Dun Laoghaire Golf Club in Enniskerry offered a myriad of challenges, including long, thick grass in the rough and windy conditions. It’s not a links style, though, and reminded Tardy of courses in Virginia and the Northern U.S. “Personally I think I played well Day 1 and Day 3,” said Tardy, who was the first UGA freshman to earn first-team All-American honors since 1998 this spring. “The second day, don’t know if we were in a funk, but really we got beat on the greens.

“I struck the ball the best I have in competition, then when you get to the greens, they drain 30 foot birdie putts. We were not playing bad, but we were not getting the putting breaks GB&I was. There’s nothing you can do about that.

I wish a couple more putts had sunk here and there, but we were in the their homeland.”

University of Washington to the national championship, on the final day of competition, but the Americans lost 11.5-8.5 on June 12.

Tardy and her family stuck around for a few days to see some sights, including the ever-impressive Cliffs of Mohr.

“It’s not like I’ll be over there every year,” Tardy said of the mini-vacation.

“We got to stand on the top of the cliffs, which was really cool.”

She had another short break from competition, but not from the rest of her life, before leaving for the Bay area. Tardy enrolled in May-mester online classes at UGA and is working for Atlanta Junior Golf this summer.

The U.S. Women’s Open at CordeValle Resort in San Martin, Calif., begins Thursday.

“I’m excited,” Tardy said. “I don’t think my nerves were controllable

because they were so high at Pinehurst. I’ll be more prepared.

“I’ve heard CordeValle is quite hilly, undulated all the way around. Which is fine. It seems to be what I’ve been playing recently.

Someone said it’s not like a normal U.S. Open. At Pinehurst, those mounded greens, everything rolls off.

I don’t think this course is like that, but we’ll see. I’ve heard impeccable things about it.”

Swim •From Page 1B 14th-place finish in Saturday morning’s prelims in 25.48.

“That was probably the best 50 I’ve ever swam in my life,” Schick, who was home-schooled as a high-schooler, said after her prelims swim. “It was really trying to stay strong all the way through and really big, my arms kind of get shortened when I get tired and it was just strong all the way through. I felt really big and I only took one breath and that was the goal.”

Collins Hill grad Cody Bekemeyer also finished his busy Trials in the men’s 1,500 free Saturday. The South Carolina swimmer finished 49th in 15:42.67.

“It’s been incredible,” Bekemeyer said of the Trials. “I cannot imagine, just coming to a meet like this and being able to swim in front of all the Olympians.

It’s just a blast. I’m kind of upset I didn’t get more events in because I had a whole six days between the first (event) and today, so hopefully I’ll come back next time with more events.”

Bekemeyer’s first two events were on the opening day of Trials last Sunday. He was 29th in the 400 individual medley prelims (4:25.13) and 61st in the 400 free prelims (3:59.36) that day.

Caleb Weir, Amanda’s younger brother, came tantalizingly close to reaching the semifinals Friday in the 50 free with a time of 22.53. The Providence Christian grad finished in the first of two alternate spots in 17th place, just outside of the top 16 that advance to the semifinal round. He also nearly reached the semis in the 100 free Wednesday with a 19th-place finish in 49.77.

Recent Georgia grad Michael Trice, a Brookwood product, placed 27th in the 50 free prelims with a time of 22.85, while 2016 Norcross grad Eric Strickland was 155th in 23.85.

Brookwood grads and North Carolina State teammates Rachel Muller and Anna Jahns both competed in the women’s 800 free prelims Friday.

Muller finished the event in 8:51.36 and Jahns swam 8:59.36.

Franklin to have lighter load OMAHA, Neb. — After winning four gold medals and competing in seven events in the 2012 London Games, Missy Franklin will swim in no more than three this summer in Rio de Janeiro.

Franklin qualified for the 200-meter freestyle Saturday at the U.S. Olympic swimming trials in Omaha, Neb., and will compete in the 200 backstroke and on the 800 freestyle relay Saturday.

“It might be really nice to go to an Olympics and really enjoy the experience instead of swimming so much,” she said.

Madison Kennedy is aiming to qualify for her first Olympics after posting the top 50-meter freestyle prelims time of 24.52 seconds.

Simone Manuel was second in 24.57, Abbey Weitzel third in 24.58 and Olivia Smoliga fourth in 24.78.

Dana Vollmer, Amanda Weir and Lia Neal advanced to Saturday night’s semifinals.

Jessica Hardy, who won the 50 free at the trials in 2012, finished outside the top 16 and did not qualify.

Elizabeth Beisel, a two-time Olympic medalist, broke her left pinky finger after colliding with another swimmer in the training pool. She will continue competing with the finger taped up.

DiMercurio •From Page 1B finish, and also had an interesting start to 2016.

On Jan. 9 she completed the Jacksonville Bank Marathon in 1 hour, 14 minutes, 37 seconds, good enough for a spot in the U.S. Olympic Trials in the marathon.

She had never run a marathon in her life — athletes can qualify with half-marathon times — but decided her first would be at U.S. Trials in Los Angeles. And she had only five weeks to prepare for the big race.

“There’s no telling what I’ll be doing in four years, so let’s go ahead and do (Trials) now,” DiMercurio said of the decision.

The race was tough, but she was competitive throughout and slipped back some in the closing miles.

That didn’t take away from the accomplishment of making it to Trials and running her first marathon in 2:52:10, good for 82nd place.

“I did alright,” DiMercurio said. “I finished, which was my big goal. It was hot that day so a lot of people dropped out. It’s probably not the most fun I’ve ever had but it was definitely one of the best experiences of my life. … It’s definitely on the goal list (to run again at Olympic Trials). I’d like to go back and compete next time instead of just being there. I did compete this time, but you know (it was tough).”

In March, DiMercurio

took another step in her pro running career when she joined ZAP Fitness, a Reebok club in Blowing Rock, N.C. Running is now her No. 1 job, unlike in Greenville, where she worked a second job.

She runs with two other women in the club, along with a larger group of men, who are coached by Pete Rea and Ryan Warrenburg.

She puts in roughly 80 to 90 miles of running on an average week. “(The area) is kind of remote, in Blowing Rock, N.C.,” DiMercurio said.

“It’s close to App (Appalachian) State in Boone.

There are miles and miles of trails, just absolute gorgeous views, mountains everywhere. The nice thing is a hot day there is about 76 degrees. … I have a a great support system with ZAP Fitness and I’m just rolling with that training and seeing where I can go from here.”

Up next is the Peachtree, where she will start off with the initial group of Elite runners, well ahead of where she started in her first Peachtree as a highschooler and in front of some 60,000 runners.

“I would like to set a PR (this year in the Peachtree), so I’d like to run under 34 minutes,” DiMercurio said. “But saying that, I am coming back from pretty bad anemia and I just switched teams so I’m getting used to another training plan.

So honestly, I just want to go out and have fun and enjoy it another year.”

Peterson led off the first inning with a double, extending his career-best hitting streak to 13 games, and Freeman turned around a 98 mph fastball from Fernandez for a homer into the center-field seats.

It was Freeman’s 14th homer of the season and the 11th of his career against Miami. He finished 3-for-4 to raise his average to .289.

bestbets SUNDAY 9 p.m. on ABC The $100,000 Pyramid

Certain “Saturday Night Live” alums have had on-camera showdowns in that show’s skits, but two — Ana Gasteyer and Rachel Dratch — have a different battle in this new episode’s first match. Each aims for the winner’s circle to help win her partner the top prize of $100,000 for guessing categories correctly. Then, host Michael Strahan presides as his “Good Morning America” comrade Robin Roberts rivals

uninvited guests cause trouble during the event.

MONDAY

FRIDAY

8 p.m. on PBS A Capitol Fourth An annual television tradition is upheld as Tom Bergeron (“Dancing With the Stars”) returns to host the holiday concert from the West Lawn of the U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C. The program includes salutes to the USO and the National Park Service, plus performances by Motown legend Smokey Robinson, veteran music star Kenny Loggins, Amber Riley (“Glee”), Gavin DeGraw, Sutton Foster and two winners of “The Voice”: Cassadee Pope and Alisan Porter.

9 p.m. on FOX Wayward Pines Theo’s (Jason Patric) effort to reach a meeting of minds with the Abbies leads him to debate with Megan (Hope Davis) how intelligent they are in the new episode “Time Will Tell.” The resulting determination sets a course for potentially big trouble. CJ (Djimon Hounsou) mulls his past — which covers a lot of territory, literally centuries.

Toby Jones and Tim Griffin reprise their first-season roles.

Nimrat Kaur, Tom Stevens and Kacey Rohl also star.

9 p.m. on PBS The Great British Baking Show Biscuits are the basis of this new episode of what is airing as the series’ third season in America. It’s not hard to deduce that one of the challenges involves biscotti, and that’s actually how the hour begins for the 11 bakers still in the competition. Puff pastry arlettes form the technical contest, and the Showstopper round truly is that here — since it revolves around creating a box with 36 (count ’em, 36) different varieties of biscuits.

actor-comedian Mario Cantone (“Sex and the City”).

10 p.m. on ABC To Tell the Truth Well-known for the sassy style she displayed on “Community” and currently on the reboot of “The Odd Couple,” Yvette Nicole Brown isn’t likely to let the impostors off easy as she serves as a guest judge in this new episode of the game-show update. She and others, includ-

Anthony Anderson ing Betty White, have to determine which of several people actually is the individual they claim to be. Anthony Anderson (“blackish”) is the host.

10 p.m. on AMC Feed the Beast While revisiting the past, a troubled Tommy (David Schwimmer) finds reason to question Dion’s (Jim Sturgess) friendship with Tommy’s late wife, Rie (Christine Adams), in the new episode “The Wild West.”

After long weeks of work, Dion and Tommy finally are ready to have a “soft opening” of their restaurant, but some very

THURSDAY 8 p.m. on ABC BattleBots Football star Vernon Davis is the guest judge in the new episode “We’re Gonna Need a Bigger Bracket: The Round of 32 Part 1,” reflecting the number of teams that will advance to the next stage of the competition. The means of getting there is to survive threeminute rounds intended to put

descents before finishing in the French town of Bagnères-deLuchon.

8 p.m. on CBS Angel From Hell After the broken romance that launched this series, Allison (Maggie Lawson) has a tough time getting back into the social scene in the new episode “Practice Guy.” That title is exactly what Amy (Jane Lynch) recommends to her, but the situation has a surprising outcome. Guest stars include Jonathan Togo, Henry Zebrowski (“Heroes Reborn”) and Constance Marie (“Switched at Birth”). Kevin Pollak also stars.

SATURDAY 8 a.m. on NBC 2016 Tour de France Riders got their first taste of the Pyrenees yesterday and they’ll get an overdose of it today in Stage 8 of the 2016 Tour de France. The longest climb on the 114-mile route is the 6,938foot Col du Tourmalet followed by a long descent and then three more shorter ascents and

Suwanee teen founds nonprofit Love Rolls to help the homeless

BY ERIKA WELLS

erika.wells@gwinnettdailypost.com

Between giggling, dancing to music and cooling off with a huge fan, a group of teen girls met in a Lawrenceville warehouse in record-breaking heat to serve the less fortunate this past weekend.

They were determined to help 15-year-old Kendall Robinson of Suwanee give out an often overlooked item to the homeless — toilet paper — for her nonprofit, Love Rolls.

That morning they met at the storage space donated by SourceTel Supply filled with boxes of the essential item. By the afternoon, they had given out more than 10,000 rolls.

Love Rolls gives toilet paper to other nonprofits to provide for the people they serve at their facilities.

Those agencies also have the option to distribute rolls to individuals outside of their programs who seek help.

“I’m grateful to be surrounded by such a good community,” Kend-

WOULD YOU GET A LUNG CANCER SCREENING IF WE CALLED IT A “LUNG-OGRAM”?

Most women know to get a mammogram but not a lung screening. Yet lung cancer kills more women than any other type of cancer. The good news is a lung cancer screening can help detect it early when there are more treatment options.

TOILET TISSUE FOR THE HOMELESS

Although places across the nation struggle with the issue of how homeless people — mainly those with no permanent roof over their head — relieve themselves, many local agencies are trying to make the challenge easier.

Josh Velez, assistant to the director at The Quinn House in Lawrenceville, helped pick up boxes of toilet paper from the Love Rolls warehouse this past weekend.

Velez learned about the nonprofit that collects toilet paper for agencies to provide the homeless through its 15-year-old founder Kendall Robinson of Suwanee.

The Quinn House, a nonprofit that serves those in need, has several programs including drug and alcohol recovery for men. The men receive support and supplies, including toilet paper, to help them get back on their feet, Velez said.

The nonprofit also gives away toilet paper with other toiletries or with packages of food to others who visit when possible, he said.

“Generally, when we do, we get a positive response,” Velez said. “They’re usually kind of surprised. … We would love to offer it on a regular basis, but it’s scarcely donated.”

John and Carol Quinn started the organization for needy families out of the back of their home in Gwinnett County about 25 years ago.

The multi-faceted, faith-based nonprofit now helps hundreds of people in the county and across the state.

ON ASSIGNMENT

Lawrenceville resident Alan Cole selected for SI for Kids reporter program

by his mother Jennifer Elin Cole, who also works for Frontline Foundation. His dad, Dean Cole, works for Mizuno. Cole said he credits his parents for encouraging him to pursue his passion for sports as a writer. But a lot of the credit for where Cole is at now belongs to the 14-year-old himself for pursuing sports writing at such an early age.

He’s young enough where he doesn’t have a plan for what he wants to do in the future in the industry, which is understandable. For now he’s just hoping to keep writing for SI for Kids and eventually have a story published in the magazine during his one-year stint in the program.

The initial reaction by most the players when approached by Cole was shock, he said. Once he identified himself and his outlet though, the players understood and were very professional during the interviews.

“I think some of them were a little bit surprised at first,” he said. “They were like, ‘Wait. You’re a kid, what are you doing here?’ But of course you can’t say that, and I say my affiliation, Sports Illustrated for Kids, and they’re like ‘Oh. Sports Illustrated for Kids.’ They were nice.

LAWRENCEVILLE — Many kids Alan Cole’s age are into sports.

Just not very many watch them with the analytical eye that the 14-year-old Lawrenceville resident does. The more he started to follow sports, the more passionate he became.

He began writing college football previews to distribute to friends and family. Then he started his own blog, he wrote for other blogs occasionally and this year he was chosen for the Sports Illustrated for Kids kid reporter program. He’ll also be helping the Daily Post this summer with “Getting to Know” articles here and there.

“I’ve always loved sports,” Cole said. “I think I started watching sports around 2008, and from there it was just kind of obvious I knew I wanted to do something with it. I loved sports and it’s like, ‘Well I really love it and I know a lot about it, so let’s turn this into something.’

It’s always been like that.”

Hundreds of applicants applied to be a part of the SI for Kids program, but Cole was one of just 14

reporters selected. The application included a short piece on why he wanted to be in the program and a longer story on someone doing good for the community through sports.

He chose to highlight the Atlanta Gladiators’ “Hat Trick for Reading” program. Once selected, his first story for the SI for Kids website was on the Gladiators’ program, which rewards students with tickets for reading.

“The program has been really exciting so far,” he said. “I pitch ideas to them for different articles and they either give me the green light or they don’t.

Then if they do give me the green light, I research and I write about it.”

Cole is home-schooled

mother.

“People are still making donations,” Robinson said.

“We thought that maybe the momentum would subside a little bit after people heard about the donation from Scott but that increased it even more.”

Robinson said the nonprofit also has received contributions from around the world.

At one point, there was a donation left outside the warehouse each day for four consecutive weeks, she said.

Since Kendall started the nonprofit, President Barack Obama, Georgia Gov. Nathan Deal and Georgia Secretary of State Brian Kemp each have commended her for her efforts.

“It made me realize what I was doing was important and people are seeing that and acknowledging it,” she said. “It made me feel really good.”

Love Rolls has benefited groups such as The Quinn

House in Lawrenceville, which cannot afford to buy toilet paper for everyone it helps, Robinson said.

Volunteers with The Quinn House who collected boxes that Saturday said they were glad to have the resource.

Claire Arnold with United Way of Greater Atlanta brought volunteers from her organization to help throughout the day.

Arnold learned about Love Rolls when Kendall approached her about joining Youth United, United Way’s effort to get students involved in their community.

“This is a great thing that Kendall has started here,” Arnold said. “She’s servicing a real need in the community and she’s doing a great job.”

Kendall, a rising junior at Greater Atlanta Christian School, will continue running the nonprofit while attending school, Robinson said. The proud mother

said she was fortunate her daughter has a servant’s heart.

“You want your children to be educated but you also want them to be good people,” Robinson said.

“Any time you can be of service to someone that you know cannot give you anything back in return — that’s the highest reward a person could ever have.”

Kendall, whose goal is to give out a million rolls, became even more encouraged after taking a group to give out toilet paper to the homeless at Hurt Park in downtown Atlanta this summer.

“We got to see the reactions when we gave out the toilet paper,” she said.

“One man said, ‘Wow, finally somebody really took into consideration that we need toilet paper.’ They really are grateful and appreciative of what we’re doing.”

Student advocates for Cystic Fibrosis research Osborne Middle School student Luke Burnett recently participated in the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation’s annual Teen Advocacy Day in Washington.

The event included more than 75 teen advocates from around the U.S. who spoke with members of Congress and advocated for more resources dedicated to cystic fibrosis research, treatment and care on behalf of their loved ones living with CF. Cystic fibrosis is a life-threatening genetic disease that causes progressive lung damage and makes it difficult to breathe. An estimated 30,000 people in the United States and 70,000 worldwide have CF. Luke participated in Teen Advocacy Day in support of his 3-year-old cousin Sutton Grace, who has CF. Luke is a rising eighth-grader at Osborne.

Good News from Schools

Keith Farner South Gwinnett JROTC scholarship recipients Two of the cadets from South Gwinnett High School’s JROTC program have received appointments to the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, and two received national ROTC scholarships to attend The Citadel and the University of Rochester.

Cadets Trontavious Tate and Christopher Skyers have received appointments to attend West Point, while cadets Gabriel Gonzalez and My-

reon Hardy both received three-year national Army Reserve Officers’ Training Corps scholarships.

Gonzalez will attend The Citadel, while Hardy will attend the University of Rochester.

The scholarship to West Point includes all tuition, room, board, books, uniforms, medical and dental care, training costs and pay, and is valued at more than $400,000.

The ROTC scholarship is worth $80,000, which goes toward tuition and educational fees. Scholarship winners also receive a monthly allowance of up to $1,500 a year.

“This is like a dream coming true and I am extremely excited,” Gonzalez said in a press release.

Church group donates mattresses to Winder vet shelter

BY KATE CROXTON

kate.croxton @gwinnettdailypost.com

The Northeast Georgia Homeless Veterans Shelter in Winder recently received 20 new mattress and 20 mattress pads from the Military Support Group of Hamilton Mill Methodist Church.

The group managed to raise more than $2,700 to purchase the mattresses, with $600 coming from the Gray United Methodist Church, which earned the money by selling handmade crepe lapel poppies.

The Military Support Group made the 600 poppies in time for Memorial Day Sunday. The volunteer-run group set up two tables in front of the main entrances of the church and staffed each table with members from the support group and Boy Scout Troop 597.

As people came into the church, they handed out poppies with a donation vessel nearby. Donors ranged from adults writing checks to children giving quarters.

“You could tell that from people’s reactions there was some connection there for them,” said Carl Joiner, chairman of the Military Support

Group. “It was a topic near and dear to people’s hearts. To see people pour out their heart over this really was gratifying.”

The group managed to raise $2,105 before Carl’s nephew and niece Wayne, a Navy veteran, and Janice Roberts picked up the idea and ran it at their church the Gray United Methodist Church, located in Gray, Ga. The church managed to add

$600 to the donation.

“They took it totally on themselves,” Joiner said.

“I had no idea they were going to do this.”

Joiner’s support group came up with the idea of poppies from the Veterans of Foreign Wars during World War I. Veterans would stand on the streets and pass out poppies during Memorial Day and it eventually became the official memorial flower.

You can trUSt.

The Military Support Group set up tables outside the church entrances and handed out poppies. People were given the choice to donate to the group.

“We made them out of crepe paper,” Joiner said.

“It was a multistep process. We had one person here who knew how to make them, and it was her idea. She is a member of the church on the Military Support Group committee.”

Joan Rockitter taught the members of the group and made it into an production line to efficiently create the lapel poppies.

The group managed to make approximately 600

poppies by hand.

The Roberts family also made several hundred poppies for their church. They learned through a YouTube video that Joiner’s grandson William Carl Joiner III created for them. William is in the Marines in a flight program located in Corpus Cristi.

“Any time I think about the military or the flag, it connects through that,” Joiner said.

Joiner himself was in

the Marines, which is why he chose the Winder shelter to receive the donation.

With the $2,700, John Longo, the co-chairperson of the Military Support Group, took over the mattress aspect of the project and donated the mattresses to the shelter, guaranteeing that 20 beds would use brand new mattresses.

“John was the spearhead and go-getter and hero of the mattress event,” Joiner said. “He really ran the mattress part of this overall project.”

This was the second time the support group had made poppies to raise money in support of military services, but it was the first time they raised this much.

“Two years ago we did this and raised between $800 and $900,” Joiner said. “This event is out busiest by far. We have to do far more to get ready, and we have more people involved in it. We had a tremendous response from the congregation here.”

Joiner is confident that next year’s event will be like this year’s, if not better.

“I feel rather sure we will with the success we had this year,” Joiner said. “It’s a lot of busy work to make all those poppies.”

Blechinger, who has been Auburn’s mayor since 2005, is set to become GMA’s president in 2018. She has completed 252 training hours through the association’s Municipal Training Institute and received a Certificate of Distinction, which is the highest certification level available through GMA. “Mayor Blechinger is well respected by city officials around the state,” GMA Executive Director Lamar Norton said in a statement.

“She understands the issues cities face and has played an important role in legislative efforts on behalf of cities for many years. We look forward to her continued leadership in this new role.”

BARROW COUNTY Curbside, commercial glass collection ends in Winder The city of Winder announced Waste Management will stop accepting curbside or commercially collected glass on July 1.

The company’s recycling processors said mixed glass in single-stream collection is rejected by secondary processors so it has no marketable value, according to a Waste Management news release.

As a result, most metro Atlanta recycling facilities will stop collecting glass by the end of the year, according to the company.

Recycling broken glass can be challenging because it is difficult to sort and recover economically, the company said.

Glass causes contamination when mixed with other recycled items, according to the company.

DACULA Library hosting Olympic challenges program The roar of the crowds. The overflow of emotions as you stand atop the Olympic medal platform and hear your country’s national anthem played in front of a packed arena.

Children who visit the Dacula library branch can get a taste of that on July 7 albeit on a much smaller scale. The library will host an Olympic Sports Challenge program from 10:30 a.m. to noon on that day, where kids ages 5-10 can go for the gold.

Participants will play “Olympic-style” games and make crafts. Library officials said they can not accept large groups, such as day camps, because of space limitations.

However, the event is open to

individual families.

The library is located at 265 Dacula Road.

DULUTH EnduroCross Returns to Infinite Energy The Infinite Energy Center on Aug. 27 is set to host a motorcycle off-road race as part of the EnduroCross Series.

The event takes riders across a track filled with obstacles including rocks, boulders, logs, sand, mud, giant tires and a water hole. EnduroCross blends the elements of extreme off-road racing into an exciting Supercross-style course.

A free practice is open to the public from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. while free autographs and photo opportunities are available at 6:30 p.m.

Local riders are invited to enter Open Amateur, Vet 35+, Women and TrialsCross categories. Tickets are $13 to $38 for adults and $10 for kids before the day of the event.

GRAYSON Library hosting teen water balloon challenge Water balloon fights have long been a tradition of summer fun for children.

Kids fill up balloons with water until they become like colorful bouncing blobs ready to be hurled at someone. The kids try to avoid getting hit and soaked with water, but then again, part of the fun is getting soaked.

The Grayson library branch has a different idea on how water balloons can be fun, however. It will host a water balloon challenge for teenagers from 1 to 2 p.m. on July 7. The idea is that kids ages 11-18 will use their creative thinking skills to engineer a water balloon launcher.

The goal is to come up with a launcher that will shoot a water balloon farther than any

LAWRENCEVILLE Millage rate hearings set The Lawrenceville City Council will hear from the public on Wednesday about plans to keep the city’s property tax rate at the same rate it is currently — a move that will result in a tax increase for property owners.

The hearings will be held at 10 a.m. and 6:30 p.m. at City Hall, 70 S. Clayton St., in Lawrenceville. An additional hearing will be held on at 7 p.m. on July 20 at City Hall.

After the July 20 hearing, the council is expected to vote on whether to adopt the rate of 2.025 mills.

Although the proposed rate is the same as the current rate, officials would have to roll the rate back to 1.89 mills to keep taxes the same because of growth in the tax digest.

Since the city is not rolling back the rate, officials said property owners in the city can expect to see their taxes increase by 7.14 percent.

LILBURN Staged Right Theatre hosts fundraiser Staged Right Theatre will present its Theatre Night Under the Stars fundraising event at 2410 Hudson Drive at 5:30 p.m. July 16.

PEACHTREE CORNERS City announces hours fireworks are allowed The city of Peachtree Corners alerted residents this week to the hours acceptable for fireworks, hours which are regulated by the state of Georgia.

Consumer fireworks can be used or ignited on any day from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m.

Consumer fireworks can also be used or ignited on July 3 and 4 after 9 p.m. and up to 11:59.

The dates and times were set out in House Bill 727, which was passed during the 2016 session of the Georgia General Assembly.

SNELLVILLE Development code meeting planned For several months, a consultant team working with Snellville has been gathering resident opinions on growth and development through one-on-one conversations, focus groups, and a recent Towne Center gathering.

The input — which will be informing the city’s update of its development code — has been distilled into a series of broad themes which will be presented for community review, comment and affirmation on July 12.

“Get up to speed on what the Development Code Update is all about and help us fine tune the priorities and concerns that will guide the process over the next year,” the city said in a news release.

“Everyone is encouraged to attend.”

The meeting is from 7 to 8:30 p.m. in the Community Room of City Hall, 2342 Oak Road.

Additional information on the process can be found on the project website: www.snellvilledevelopmentcode.org.

SUGAR HILL City receives Main Street designation Sugar Hill was recently designated as a Main Street America Affiliate program by the National Main Street Center.

Each year, the National Main Street Center and its coordinating program partner, the Georgia Main Street Program, announce the list of designated Main Street America programs in recognition of their commitment to preservation-based economic development and community revitalization.

Affiliates are programs that have demonstrated a commitment to achieving meaningful economic, social, physical and organizational improvements in downtowns or neighborhood commercial districts.

Sugar Hill recently broke ground on $300 million in investments spread across four projects, including EpiCenter, that will be built around the intersection of Temple Drive and Broad Street over the next few years. It also is in the middle of a series of ticketed and free summer concerts at its amphitheater called “The Bowl.”

her brother Ryan was also on the child actor scene.

In fact, Christa decided to learn to play the ukulele when he was getting more attention than her when he played guitar and she sang in Central Park.

Ryan, who was the first Campbell to become an actor, decided he would rather pursue engineering.

He is enrolled at the Gwinnett School of Math, Science and Technology, while the oldest sibling, Michael, works at the Gwinnett Arena. To hear Christa tell it, he has the better connections, since he can get her Cirque du Soleil tickets and once got her onto Carrie Underwood’s tour bus.

Despite the Hollywood resume, Christa’s mom, Hope, says her daughter is a typical tween, able to infuriate her mother one second and amaze her the next.

“She balances it all really, really well,” Hope Campbell said of her daughter, who surprised her parents when she walked into her first audition at the age of 4 and transformed from a shy preschooler into a new

character. “It’s just amazing to watch.”

Christa, who goes to a classroom in Gwinnett twice a week when she isn’t traveling, can finish up homework and then learn that she has an audition the next day and rush to catch a flight, her mom said.

“She does it all without a blip, and she balances it all really well,” Hope Campbell said, adding that her daughter recently logged online to do a presentation with her schoolmates while she was on the other side of the country.

While Christa loves to act, her favorite subject is science. She said she wants to go to college at the University of Southern California so she can get a dual degree in film studies and either marine biology or forensic science.

“My role models are Mayim Bialick and Jenna Von Oy because they are child actors who went to college and did their own thing and then went back to acting,” Christa Beth said. “Plus Mayim Bialick is in ‘The Big Bang Christa Beth Campbell is a 12-year-old Lawrenceville resident who has been making her mark in TV shows and Theory,’ and that’s one of movies.

The 5 stages of empty-nester syndrome A few weeks ago, I wrote about how I’m struggling with the fact that all my kids have now left home. I’ve since learned that emptynester syndrome actually consists of five distinct states, and I’m currently working my way through them.

Denial. I told myself at first that this was just a temporary thing. I wasn’t really an empty-nester.

The boys would be back in August for a couple of weeks, and then home for the Christmas holidays and so forth.

Clearly, I was in denial. I know from my experience with older kids that once they leave the nest, they never really come back home, because it isn’t their home anymore. It’s just a place to visit.

My visit to the sweetest place on earth A few years ago when I had a new book releasing about Southern women, the publisher asked me to speak at a conference for owners of small bookstores across America. In the midst of a book tour that included Atlanta, Nashville, Memphis, Birmingham, Little Rock and Charlotte, we added a stop in Pennsylvania.

Not just anywhere in Pennsylvania, but the spot known as the sweetest place on earth: Hershey.

The conference itself at the Hershey Resort was memorable mainly because of a first-time author who spoke before me, turned his allotted 15 minutes into 52 minutes,

Ronda Rich and bored the audience to such an extent that only a few woke up to listen to my stories. He was a nice man, a very humble one.

But speaking was not his forte. It’s a lot more complex than it may look, and there’s a bit of a science to it: entertain the audience, move them emotionally and pack a point to each

story.

Once I agreed to speak to a Rotary Club and drove an hour to keep the commitment. A member of the club, clearly not a fan of mine, took the floor and refused to yield. In the end, I had given up the better part of a day to speak for 10 minutes.

Back to sweeter things, though.

The trip to Hershey was fascinating. While the rest of the tour took me to the legendary Peabody Hotel in Memphis, the revered Tutwiler in Birmingham and the old Duke Mansion in Charlotte, which was once the majestic home of the man who founded American Tobacco and

funded Duke University, I was captivated by the gentle town built by the chocolate created by Milton Hershey.

Milton and his wife, Catherine, died childless and, as a result, left their entire fortune in a trust that oversees the Milton Hershey School for disenfranchised children. That trust is the sole shareholder of one of the world’s largest chocolate fortunes.

This is amazing in a time when few corporations still exist without mergers of any kind, yet this corporation, the maker of Kisses, chocolate bars, Reese’s and syrup, answers solely to children. There is something particularly poignant

about the fact that kids love candy and Hershey’s candy loves children.

Since chocolate kisses are stirred up in a nearby factory, the air hangs sweetly with the smell of diet-free thoughts. With check-in you receive a big Hershey’s chocolate bar.

The morning that I ordered breakfast — an oatmeal brulee made with Hershey’s chocolate — and I received another chocolate bar tucked onto the tray, I knew I would never forget Hershey, Pa., or the Hershey Resort. I was determined to return.

When Tink and I planned a trip to Connecticut to visit his family, I suggested a stop in Hershey for an overnight stay at the resort. This was better than where he wanted to spend the night: Gettysburg.

“We won there,” he smiled. “Don’t you want to visit?”

“I prefer to eat chocolate than recall defeats of the bitterest, bloodiest kind,” I replied.

The first time I visited,

a blanket of lush white snow covered the ground while thousands of lights twinkled in the night amidst the stonework and the charming structures that dot the streets. Hershey is a town that ages well, so when I returned, with Tink in tow, five years later, it was still as lovely even without the snow. Of course Tink, who has a sizeable sweet tooth, was won over completely by the first chocolate bar.

“How can you not love a place that has chocolate kisses sitting in bowls throughout the hotel?” he asked.

But the sweetest thing about the town that calls itself the “sweetest place on earth” is that our cravings are the makings of better futures for underprivileged children. And that, is worth an over-indulgence of Reese’s pieces.

To say no, you need a strategy Do you like making choices?

Saying yes to one thing often means saying no to something else. And most people don’t like to limit their options, especially when the stakes are high.

I was working with an executive team on their strategy. They had trouble narrowing their target market. They didn’t want to eliminate any potential customers. Therein lies the problem: When you’re trying to please everyone, you dilute your focus.

Strategy is about making choices, be they work choices or life choices. It requires saying no to some things, so you can say yes, in a big way, to things that will pay off.

If you want to be excellent at the most important priorities, you have to say no to things that could potentially be good.

One of my mentors, Regena Thomashaur (known as Mama Gena, who runs amazing programs for women) says, “I’m only responsible to three things at a time (my book, my kid, my biz) and everything else goes by the wayside.

Right now is not a good time for me to start French lessons. Or add on another course. Or throw a dinner party.”

Think about your own work and life, are you trying to be good at everything? Are you trying to please all your customers?

Or do you know where you should laser-focus?

In the case of my banking client, I asked them, “If you and two of your best people had one week to do nothing but focus on a single group of customers, who would they be and why?

Their answers revealed which types of customers were most valuable.

Strategy is about where you place your bets. A good strategy is not a plan describing how you’re going to do everything.

It’s about choosing where you want to invest the most time and resources.

When you have a clear strategy — for work or life — it makes it easier to say no to choices that don’t

align with your goals. It also gives you the fortitude to push through when something really matters.

Thomashaur describes a recent experience: “I was in the middle of the height of teaching season. Ten days after teaching an intensive in New York, I was headed to Paris to greet my advanced students for their final intensive there.

In between those huge events might not have seemed like the best time to fly to Los Angeles and take my daughter to look at colleges, but, she is my No. 1. And (I am so proud!) she got accepted to her top two choices of universities that happen to be on opposite coasts. So, no there was no decision there. We jumped on a plane and headed to Cali.

Thomashaur, who has written several books and runs the school of Womanly Arts to help women take more pleasure in life, says, “Was I exhausted? Yup. Overcommitted? Absolutely. Yet I found my joy in pushing through, because there is so much pleasure in showing up to mama my kid, and getting her set up for this huge next chapter of her life.”

It takes courage to say yes, and it takes courage to say no.

A good strategy is one that forces you to make choices about where you want to focus. It gives you power. When you try to choose everything, you only wind up draining yourself, and you never get a foothold into the markets (or goals) that matter most to you.
