They grew older and, as is prone to happen, they fell in love.

“He said the first time he remembered seeing me I was just a kid on a pink bike,” Hanson said. “But he said, ‘Someday that girl Michael is gonna be my wife.’”

Legendary golfers draw crowd despite rain

DULUTH — They lined their chairs up on a hill overlooking the eighth hole green.

With her two older daughters home from college, Tami Crewdson, along with her teenager and her mother wouldn’t let some rain keep them from enjoying a day outside watching a sport they love.

So the Crewdson crew packed ponchos and came out to the Greater Gwinnett Championship, giggling — when the “Hush” signs were down — as they playfully bet on who would make the longest drive or be the first to get to the hole.

“I grew up in a family that loved it,” the Sandy Springs woman said of keeping the tradition going with her daughters. “I’ve been going to the Masters (tournament) my whole life, so I remember when all these guys were playing on the PGA Tour.”

The Greater Gwinnett Championship is in its second year, hosting Champions Tour golfers at TPC Sugarloaf in Duluth. While officials are expecting a large crowd today when the forecast calls for sunshine,

Angel Jimenez, who lead the field Saturday during his debut on the Champions Tour, also had a large following, and a charity challenge featuring Atlanta athletes John Smoltz, Tom Glavine and

“There are so many golfers here who have had incredible careers,” said Stan Hall of the Gwinnett Sports Commission. “The die-hard golf fans, they are going to come out here even if it’s rainy.”

BUFORD — Since 1955, John Lamb has raised cows on his Buford farm, a healthy-sized parcel not far from an interstate that’s gotten a little busier as the decades have passed. All along, he says, he’s treated his bovine companions the same way — the right way.

“I’ve been raising them the same way over the years. Nothing’s changed,” Lamb said Friday. “I’ve been feeding them the same way year in and year out, and not had any problems before this year.”

This year, though, his 50 or so heads of cattle are skinny. Real skinny. A few have died.

Pennington, Martin propose ethics reforms Political Notebook

Two challengers in the running upcoming May primary against set out ethics plans last Sen. Don week.

Balfour, New structures and who was increased funding for exonerstate ethics panels were ated of proposed by Dalton criminal David Mayor David Pennington, Pennington charges in who is challenging Gov. an ethicsNathan Deal, and former related expense case last Lawrenceville Councilyear. man P.K. Martin, who is “(Earlier this month),

we have seen numerous reports of the state’s failure to enforce P.K. Georgia’s Martin ethics law and the need to completely overhaul the Georgia Government Transparency and Campaign Finance

Commission. With over 169 open cases of ethics violations where no action has been taken, it’s clear there is a problem,” Martin said in a press release. “The people simply do not trust our government. When candidates for public office and elected officials are not held accountable for their actions and unethical behavior, it only increases the level of mistrust. This must change.”

Martin said he will push for new ethics laws, including harsher consequences and hefty fines for repeat offenders. Martin’s proposal includes increasing lobbyist fees as well as funding for the ethics commission and access to investigators from the attorney general’s office.

In the wake of a lawsuit involving the ethics commission, where the state must pay $700,000 to former employees forced out of the office, Pennington blasted Deal from right outside his office Wednesday.

“History has a way of repeating itself,” Pennington said. “Richard Nixon so poisoned the well for Republicans that the nation elected Jimmy Carter as president. Now 40 years later, Nathan Deal is so poisoning the well for Georgia Republicans that Jimmy Carter’s grandson could be Georgia’s next governor.”

Pennington said Republicans need to choose him in the May primary, as the “ethical conservative” in the race to keep

Jason Carter out of the governor’s mansion.

The Dalton mayor released a plan to restructure the ethics commission through constitutional amendments into a five-member panel appointed by the judiciary with enough funding to end the backlog of cases.

He again challenged the governor to a debate before next month’s primary.

Democratic Party to host forum Voters can meet a number of the Democrats on upcoming ballots, at a forum hosted by the county party this week.

Three of the four candidates in the upcoming U.S. Senate primary plan to attend, although the most high-profile hopeful, Michelle Nunn, declined an invitation.

Also expected to attend are the two Democrats contending for insurance commissioner, three of the party’s school superintendent candidates, a secretary of state hopeful and some local state House and Senate candidates.

The forum is scheduled for 6:30 to 9 p.m. Tuesday at the old Lawrenceville city hall.

“Besides learning all of the general things that people are familiar with, like antibiotics and surgery, we also emphasize that the body works as a whole. If you’re sick with one disease or one organ failure, it’s something that’s affecting the whole person. We emphasize that our structure and our function are vital to our whole being.”

Dr. Joe Huong and Dr. Karen Duvall both recently finished their residencies. Dr. Huong completed his residency in Columbus and now works as the WellStreet Urgent Care Site Director in Johns Creek. Duvall completed her residency in Orlando and received the Resident of the Year award. She now practices as a family doctor at Ivy Falls Family Medicine in Duluth.

Duvall believes that by treating the whole body, osteopathic medicine is often more effective than tradtional methods.

“I think it’s because it’s more of a whole body approach to patient care and there’s a lot of things that can be treated with hands on manipulation, which I do, to help the body get back in its normal working order to help heal itself,” she said. “I think that the public needs to know that the training is the same as physicians in other programs; we actually just have additional training in osteopathic medicine. That’s just another modality we have to treat patients.”

PCOM opened its doors in 1899, but the Georgia campus is relatively new.

The first class began in 2005 and 2009 was the first graduating class. In 2010 the campus added a pharmacy school and the first class is graduating this May. For more information on PCOM and osteopathic medicine, visit pcom.edu.

GA-PCOM graduates Berkeley Lake to begin return to practice locally road paving program Staff Intern

The Georgia campus of the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine in Suwanee recently had two graduates finish their residencies and return to the community to practice medicine.

“For PCOM the focus is training primary care physicians. Hopefully that they will come back to their community and serve,” said William Craver, dean of medicine.

“It’s about that student that has passed on (and

graduated) and is achieving their dream, and our dream is that they serve their community.”

Osteopathic medical treatments are often overlooked when trying to help a patient, something that practitioners are trying to change with National Osteopathic Medicine Week, which was this past week.

“Osteopathic (physicians are) licensed in all 50 states to practice all kinds of medical care. In Georgia, MDs and osteopaths are licensed by the same board,” said Craver.

Keith Roach

Carpal tunnel help DEAR DR. ROACH: In August 2013, I had surgery on my right wrist for carpal tunnel syndrome. The numbness in my fingers has not changed. Now I’m faced with the same problem in my left hand. I’m going to forget surgery, seeing as it wasn’t successful in my right hand.

I decided to go to an acupuncturist for laser treatments. I also had a cortisone shot. Neither of these has helped. Do you know of a solution for my problem?

— P.M. ANSWER: Carpal tunnel syndrome is caused by compression on the median nerve, as it runs down the arm through a “tunnel” of bone and connective tissue deep in the wrist. It may cause pain, numbness and weakness of the wrist and hand. The thumb and middle three fingers are most often affected. In advanced cases, the hand muscles may become atrophied. The sooner the pressure on the nerve is relieved, the more likely there will not be permanent nerve damage.

It sounds to me like the first surgery was not done soon enough to prevent damage. If that’s the case, then surgery on your left hand, done sooner after the onset of symptoms, might prevent the long-term numbness present in your right hand. However, it’s possible that the diagnosis was wrong or that the surgery might not have been effective, even if done promptly.

At least one study of needle acupuncture showed that it is as effective as a cortisone injection. This study excluded people who already had fixed numbness in the fingers, who are less likely to be helped by any treatment. I have not found any evidence that laser treatment is effective.

My advice is to first be sure of the diagnosis. An EMG test is a study of nerve function, which can confirm the diagnosis and may be able to predict how much damage there is and provide guidance on treatment. If damage is not too severe, other treatments, such as splinting, medication, yoga or ultrasound may be helpful.

If advanced, surgery done quickly still may be your best bet.

Arts grad worries about switching fields DEAR AMY: I’m looking for insight. I am in my mid-20s and hold a liberal arts degree. Since graduating from college, I’ve held five jobs for a variety of reasons.

I’m currently unemployed and questioning whether I should stay in this “creative” field, because it has been difficult to find stable employment and doesn’t seem to be for me.

I am considering going back to school in a healthrelated field. I live with my boyfriend (a successful engineer) who believes I shouldn’t borrow money to go back to school. He thinks I should just find a job that will pay the bills and won’t require debt. I disagree and believe sometimes student debt can be for the best if you have better job prospects at the end.

We discuss marriage and a future, and he believes student debt will mean delaying other life goals, like having a home and a family. We don’t have any undergraduate debt.

I am going to counseling, but I’m curious about what

Ask Amy

Amy Dickinson you and your readers have to say, or if any of you have been in similar situations.

— Potential Grad Student DEAR STUDENT: Having some student debt shouldn’t delay your other life goals, as long as you limit it to a reasonable amount that you can take full responsibility for repaying.

(I graduated college with debt, but it was manageable.)

I agree with your guy that you (currently unemployed) should not run headlong into full-time graduate school if you must take out loans to finance it.

You should start by pursuing an entry-level job or paid internship in a health-related business. You can use this

work experience to see if a graduate degree is necessary, or if you can perhaps take some classes or training and receive certification in a health-care field.

Ideally you would work while you are going to school, and though it would take you longer to receive your education, you could take it in stages and reduce the financial load — and risk.

DEAR AMY: I have two daughters. Each daughter has one child.

One daughter has always said she wanted only one child, but the other daughter always wanted three or four children.

She and her husband have tried for two years to get pregnant and have been seeing an infertility specialist, but with disappointing results.

This is causing so much heartache and sadness. This daughter is not even able to look at pregnant women without anger.

The other daughter just told us we are going to be blessed with another

grandchild. Even though she originally didn’t want more children, they are very happy about it.

How should my pregnant daughter break this news to her sister?

— Happy but Worried DEAR HAPPY: Six weeks is early to tell anyone about a pregnancy, but now that she has, your pregnant daughter must tell her sister about this as soon as possible.

She should approach this with tremendous sensitivity, knowing that her sister will feel conflicted. She should not insist, “I want you to be happy for me.” Instead she should say, “I realize this might be very hard for you, and I want you to know that I continue to hold onto every ounce of hope for you.”

The pregnant sister should understand if her sister needs to maintain some distance during this time, but the not-pregnant sister should not express anger or hostility toward (or about) her. This is a tough situation that everyone should do their best to handle with grace.

Aim to reach goals that you can achieve without having to rely on others.

In the end, your skills and drive will lead to success.

If you are conservative in your spending habits, you will have a very prosperous year.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — Don’t waste your time waiting for someone to carry you to victory. You will have to mastermind your own plan and see it through to the end. Persistence will pay off.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — It’s likely that one of your unusual ideas will result in a lucrative business. Use your powers of persuasion to present your case to those in a position to help you advance.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) — Don’t let problems at work interfere with your home life. Once you are off the job, make your loved ones your No. 1 priority.

They deserve your attention, too.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — Don’t make excuses regarding your career.

If you don’t remind your superiors of your qualifications and abilities, you may not be considered for promotion. Speak up and be noticed.

NEW YORK — “Saturday Night Live” plans a blowout 40th birthday party — a three-hour live special that will air on Feb. 15, 2015, and include a huge reunion of former cast members.

The list of returning Not Ready for Primetime Players, as well as special and musical guests from the show’s run, will be announced in the coming months. “‘Saturday Night Live’ is an institution unlike

anything else in television history,” said Robert Greenblatt, chairman of NBC Entertainment. “The many brilliant ‘Not Ready for Primetime Players’ over the years is a who’s who of film and television comedy for the last two generations. The roster includes everyone from the iconic first cast in 1975 to household names ranging from Eddie Murphy, Billy Crystal, Dana Carvey, Mike Myers, Will Ferrell, and Adam Sandler, to Kristen Wiig, Tina Fey, Amy Poehler, Jimmy Fallon, and Seth Meyers — to name

only a few. This brand, which is still one of the highest-rated comedies on television, was the brainchild of Lorne Michaels, who still presides over the whole enterprise today.

This special is just one of the many ways we plan to celebrate ‘SNL’s’ historic 40th season next year.”

The show has won 40 Emmy Awards, the most in television history.

“SNL” also holds the title for the most-nominated television show in Emmy history with 171 nods. It has been honored twice, in 1990 and 2009, with the

NATION Calif. man held for mental eval for alleged gun threat A man who allegedly threatened to open fire in the building that houses the Los Angeles Times’ headquarters was being held in custody for a mental evaluation, police said on Saturday.

The man, whose identity has not been released, was taken into custody early Friday evening after he allegedly told witnesses he was depressed and did not mind killing, according to the newspaper.

The man, who worked for a business that rents space in the building, also handed a person a bag of bullets, the Times said.

Police responded to the incident and put parts of the building on lockdown after he allegedly threatened to open fire on the third floor.

No gun was recovered from the scene and there were no reports of injuries or shots fired, police spokeswoman Norma Eisenman said on Saturday.

Everest jump in doubt after avalanche LOS ANGELES — The “Everest Jump Live” special that Discovery Channel had planned for May 11 is in question following a deadly avalanche Thursday night that killed 13.

The network would not say whether it planned to cancel or postpone the jump, only that the first priority for daredevil Joby Ogwyn, who was at Mount Everest at the time of the avalanche, is to assist with rescue efforts.

“The avalanche last night on Mt. Everest is a terrible tragedy, and our thoughts and prayers are with those who are lost and with their families,” Discovery said in a statement.

“The immediate priority for Joby and the team is to assist the search and rescue efforts in any way possible.”

Everest death toll climbs to 13

By Gopal Sharma Reuters

KATHMANDU — Rescuers recovered the body of one mountain guide on Saturday after an ice avalanche swept the lower slopes of Mount Everest, bringing the death toll to at least 13 in the deadliest accident on the world’s highest mountain.

The avalanche struck a perilous passage called the Khumbu Icefall, which is riddled with crevasses and piled with serac — or huge chunks of ice — that can break free without warning.

“We were tied on a rope and carrying gas to camp when there was a sudden hrrrr sound,” said Ang Kami Sherpa, 25, one of at least three survivors flown by helicopter to Kathmandu. “We knew it was an avalanche but we couldn’t run away or do anything.

“There was a big chunk of snow that fell over us and swept us away. It looked like clouds, all white,” he said in a hospital intensive care unit where he was being treated for a blood clot in his leg and facial injuries.

Climbers declared a fourday halt to efforts to scale the 29,029-feet summit and, while some decided to abandon their mission, others said they would go ahead after talking to their guides. All of the victims were sherpa mountain guides.

The mother of Kaji Sherpa, one of 12 Nepali mountaineering guides who lost his life in an avalanche on Mount Everest, cries as she waits for the body of her son to arrive at Sherpa Monastery in Kathmandu on Saturday. The avalanche swept down a slope of Mount Everest on Friday killing 12 Nepali mountaineering guides at the beginning of the main climbing season, a Tourism Ministry official said. The avalanche, the deadliest in eight years, hit the most popular route to the mountain’s peak. Three Nepali guides were injured and up to five people were missing, said Dipendra Paudel at the Tourism Ministry’s mountaineering department. (Reuters/Navesh Chitrakar)

climbers are packing up and calling it quits, they want nothing to do with this,” Tim Rippel of Peak Freaks Expeditions wrote in a blog.

Shocked relatives wondered how they would cope without the men who take huge risks to earn up to $5,000 for a two-month expedition — around 10 times average annual pay in Nepal.

“He was the only breadwinner in the family,” said 17-year-old Phinjum Sherpa, as she waited for the body of her uncle, Tenji Sherpa,

at a Buddhist monastery in Kathmandu. “We have no one to take care of us.”

Although relatively low on the mountain, climbers say the icefall is one of the most dangerous places on Mount Everest. There are, however, no safer paths along the famous South Col route scaled by Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay in 1953.

Around 100 climbers and guides had already passed beyond the Khumbu Icefall to prepare their attempts on

The Sewol, carrying 476 passengers and crew, capsized on Wednesday on a journey from the port of Incheon to the southern holiday island of Jeju.

Thirty-two people are known to have died.

The 69-year-old captain, Lee Joon-seok, was arrested in the early hours of Saturday on charges of negligence along with two other crew members, including the third mate who was steering at the time of the capsize.

Russia writes off 90 percent of North Korea debt MOSCOW — Russia’s parliament has agreed to write off almost $10 billion of North Korea’s Soviet-era debt, in a deal expected to facilitate the building of a gas pipeline to South Korea across the reclusive state.

Russia has written off debts to a number of impoverished Soviet-era allies, including Cuba. North Ko-

rea’s struggling communist economy is just 2 percent of the size of neighboring South Korea’s.

The State Duma lower house on Friday ratified a 2012 agreement to write off the bulk of North Korea’s debt. It said the total debt stood at $10.96 billion as of Sept. 17, 2012.

The rest of the debt, $1.09 billion, would be redeemed during the next 20 years, to be paid in equal installments every six months. The outstanding debt owed by North Korea will be managed by Russia’s state development bank, Vnesheconombank.

Officials said that one body had been recovered in Saturday’s rescue effort, leaving three sherpas still missing.

PEOPLE Shakira to perform single ‘Empire’ on Tuesday’s ‘Voice’ LOS ANGELES — Shakira will perform her new single, “Empire,” on next Tuesday’s episode of “The Voice.”

Additionally, coaches Adam Levine and Blake Shelton will hit the stage to perform with their teams.

“Empire” comes from Shakira’s self-titled album, which was released last month. It’s her 10th studio album and her first Englishlanguage album since 2009.

The song is her second single from the album after “Can’t Remember to Forget You,” a duet with Rihanna.

“Shakira” debuted at No. 2 on the U.S. Billboard 200 chart, with first-week sales of 84,000 copies. That would be both the highest Shakira has ever ranked on the charts, but also her lowest first-week sales figure.

The coaches’ performances occur on the first elimination episode after Season 6’s live performances. It will also mark the season debut of the “instant save,” which allows viewers to vote via Twitter on which person in the bottom three will move on in the competition.

In Damascus, war briefly ignored for Easter weekend

Lara Spencer promoted to ‘GMA’ co-host

DAMASCUS — The sound of battles echoes from the outskirts of the capital as Christians in Damascus celebrated the Easter weekend, briefly ignoring the conflict for the yearly ritual.

At the gates of Saint George Syrian Orthodox Church — just a few minutes walk from a school where a mortar attack killed several children and injured dozens earlier this week — incense was burning as several uniformed and armed men stood patrol before Good Friday evening services. They joked with each other and did not check ID cards or handbags as people entered.

Inside the ancient city walls of the Old City where the church is located, the cobbled streets bustled with evening shoppers and diners, a rare sight reminiscent of pre-war Damascus.

LOS ANGELES — Lara Spencer has been promoted to co-host of ABC’s “Good Morning America” alongside George Stephanopoulos and Robin Roberts.

It was one of the first major moves by new ABC News chief James Goldson, who is replacing the justpromoted Ben Sherwood.

Goldston announced Spencer’s promotion in an email marking the two-year anniversary of “GMA” ending the 16-year ratings winning streak for NBC’s “Today.”

“A key member of our on-air team, Lara Spencer, rejoined ABC three years ago — bringing her style, humor, sunny confidence, wonderful journalism and storytelling to ‘GMA,’” he wrote. “Lara is clearly an essential ingredient in the success we have enjoyed and I am so pleased to announce that Lara has been elevated to co-host of the program.”

Pope presides over Easter rites during Vatican Mass

By Philip Pullella Reuters

VATICAN CITY — Pope Francis on Saturday led Easter rites commemorating what Christians believe was Jesus’ resurrection from the dead, and urged people to rediscover direction in their lives.

Marking the second Easter season of his pontificate, the Argentine pope said a solemn Mass before some 10,000 people in St. Peter’s Basilica, the largest church

MUST READ in Christendom.

The immense basilica was in darkness for the start of the service to signify the darkness in Jesus’ tomb between his death and resurrection.

The faithful held lit candles as the pope walked up the main aisle, and then the basilica’s lights were turned on in a blaze.

Signifying the end of the peni-

tential season of Lent, which began on March 5 with Ash Wednesday, the basilica’s great bells rang out at about the mid-point of the Mass, just as a rainstorm hit the Italian capital.

During Saturday night’s service the pope maintained an Easter vigil tradition by baptizing 10 people, including three Italian boys and eight adults aged between 34 and 58 from Italy, Belarus, Senegal, Lebanon, France and Vietnam.

In his homily, the leader of the

world’s 1.2 billion Roman Catholics recounted the Biblical story of how the faith of the apostles had been shaken after Jesus’ death but confirmed by the women who found his tomb empty after his resurrection.

“Their faith had been utterly shaken, everything seemed over, all their certainties had crumbled and their hopes had died. But now that message of the women, incredible as it was, came to them like a ray of light in the darkness,” he said.

The 77-year-old pope, wearing white vestments, urged his listeners to rediscover direction in their lives, in the same way the apostles had re-found their faith.

“Do I remember it? Have I forgotten it? Have I gone off on roads and paths that made me forget it?” he asked.

Today, Francis says an Easter Sunday Mass in St. Peter’s Square and delivers his twice-yearly “Urbi et Orbi” (to the city and the world) blessing and message.

With donations, the zealots win WASHINGTON — The debate over campaign contributions is never-ending for a simple reason: Both sides of the argument have merit.

On the one hand, of course money is speech.

For most citizens, contributing to politicians or causes is the most effective way to augment and amplify speech with which they agree. The most disdainful dismissers of this argument are editorialists and incumbent politicians who — surprise! — already enjoy access to vast audiences and don’t particularly like their monopoly being invaded by the unwashed masses or the self-made plutocrat.

On the other hand, of course money is corrupting. The nation’s jails are well stocked with mayors, legislators, judges and the occasional governor who have exchanged favors for cash. However, there are lesser — and legal — forms of influencepeddling short of the outright quid pro quo.

Campaign contributions are carefully Charles calibrated to approach that line without Krauthammer crossing it. But money distorts. There is no denying the unfairness of big contributors buying access unavailable to the everyday citizen.

Hence the endless law-writing to restrict political contributions, invariably followed by multiple fixes to correct the inevitable loopholes. The result is a baffling mass of legislation administered by one cadre of experts and dodged by another.

For a long time, a simple finesse offered a rather elegant solution: no limits on giving — but with full disclosure.

Open the floodgates, and let the monies, big and small, check and balance each other. And let transparency be the safeguard against corruption. As long as you know who is giving what to whom, you can look for, find and, if necessary, prosecute corrupt connections between donor and receiver.

This used to be my position. No longer. I had not foreseen how donor lists would be used not to ferret out corruption but to pursue and persecute citizens with contrary views. Which corrupts the very idea of full disclosure.

It is now an invitation to the creation of enemies lists. Containing, for example, Brendan Eich, forced to resign as Mozilla CEO when it was disclosed that six years earlier he’d given $1,000 to support a referendum banning gay marriage. He was hardly the first. Activists compiled blacklists of donors to Proposition 8 and went after them. Indeed, shortly after the referendum passed, both the artistic director of the California Musical Theatre in Sacramento and the president of the Los Angeles Film Festival were hounded out of office.

Referendums produce the purest example of transparency misused because corrupt favoritism is not an issue. There’s no one to corrupt.

Supporting a referendum is a pure expression of one’s beliefs. Full disclosure in that context becomes a cudgel, an invitation to harassment.

Sometimes the state itself does the harassing.

The IRS scandal left many members of political groups exposed to abuse, such as the unlawful release of confidential data. In another case, the Obama campaign website in 2012 published the names of eight big Romney donors, alleging them to have “less than reputable records.” A glow-in-the-dark target having been painted on his back, Idaho businessman Frank VanderSloot (reported The Wall Street Journal’s Kimberley Strassel) suddenly found himself subject to multiple audits, including two by the IRS. In his lone dissent to the disclosure requirement in Citizens United, Justice Clarence Thomas argued that American citizens should not be subject to “to death threats, ruined careers, damaged or defaced property, or preemptive and threatening warning letters as the price for engaging in core political speech, the primary object of First Amendment protection.”

(Internal quote marks omitted.)

In fact, wariness of full disclosure goes back to 1958 when the Supreme Court ruled that the NAACP did not have to release its membership list to the state, understanding that such disclosure would surely subject its members to persecution. “This court has recognized the vital relationship between freedom to associate and privacy in one’s associations … particularly where a group espouses dissident beliefs.”

A different era, a different set of dissidents.

But the naming of names, the listing of lists, goes on. The enforcers are at it again, this time armed with sortable Internet donor lists.

The ultimate victim here is full disclosure itself. If revealing your views opens you to the politics of personal destruction, then transparency, however valuable, must give way to the ultimate core political good, free expression.

Our collective loss. Coupling unlimited donations and full disclosure was a reasonable way to reconcile the irreconcilables of campaign finance. Like so much else in our politics, however, it has been ruined by zealots. What a pity.

Week offers examples of county spirit This past week you didn’t have to look too hard to find a couple of good examples of the county’s volunteer spirit. You can find a large number of volunteers at the Greater Gwinnett Championship golf tournament at TPC Sugarloaf in Duluth.

That group, numbering close to 700 volunteers on 22 committees, helped with everything from toting scoreboards, shuttling both players and their caddies and helping with crowd control around the greens and at crossing areas.

Those volunteers are major assets to putting on the tournament, and their dedi-

cation helps offset costs which ultimately allows the Greater Gwinnett Championship, in its second year as a stop on the Champions Tour, to make bigger donations to its charitable causes. It’s an effort that is hard to quantify.

“These tournaments take volunteers to run them, that’s your gold mine,” said Mike Miller, co-chair of the clubhouse volunteers this week at the Greater Gwinnett Championship.

While volunteers have been busy walking the fairways at TPC Sugarloaf this weekend, a different group of volunteers walked the shores of the Chatta-

hoochee River last weekend. That group was part of the Sweep the Hooch project, which was organized by the Chattahoochee Riverkeeper, National Park Service and Upper Chattahoochee Chapter of Trout Unlimited at multiple sites along the river.

In Gwinnett, 170 volunteers worked at seven sites, picking up 4,140 pounds of trash. Overall, 580 volunteers collected 7.3 tons of trash during the event.

Said Bill Cox, superintendent of the Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area: “We at the Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area

sincerely appreciate the efforts of all of the volunteers and sponsors in cleaning up the river and trails here.”

Those words are fitting.

From the people working at the Greater Gwinnett Championship to the folks who helped clean the Chattahoochee, your work and that of all volunteers, is sincerely appreciated.

Remember the real reason we celebrate Easter I wish I had been there.

In Jerusalem. With Jesus.

I wish I could have witnessed the events of a week that changed the world forever.

I wish I could have accompanied Jesus into the city as he rode astride a donkey and watched the crowds throw their cloaks before him, cheering the man they thought had come to lift the yoke of Roman oppression from their necks. I wonder if I would have gotten caught up in all the excitement and hoped that when he took over, Jesus would give me a high-level job in his administration.

I wish I could have asked him why he was riding a donkey. It was a well-known fact that conquering kings ride stallions, not donkeys. I suspect Jesus would have smiled at me and said he was not the Prince of War. He was the Prince of Peace.

I wish I could have been there when Jesus overturned the tables in the temple and ran off the money-changers selling their livestock and doves at inflated prices. He called the place a “den of thieves.” It wasn’t the first time a religious institution had lost sight of its

Dick Yarbrough real purpose and, sadly, it won’t be the last.

I wish I could have told Jesus that his rare display of temper had played right into the hands of the local power structure that felt threatened by his popularity. I would have reminded him that they wanted to get rid of him and were just looking for an excuse and that he had given them a big one. I suspect he already knew that.

I wish I could have seen the look on the faces of the religious leaders when they tried to engage him in debate and got their theological heads handed to them. I would have laughed and clapped and hooted at them until I saw the look on the face of Christ. This wasn’t a game to him.

I wish I had been there to keep an eye on Judas Iscariot. He probably thought that the way Jesus was acting, we were all

letters to the editor

going to get in trouble and he wanted no part of it.

I would have told Judas to get with the program and quit whining. It likely would have done no good.

The man was pure evil.

I wish I could have been with Jesus during the Passover meal. The Last Supper. When he washed the feet of his followers and served them bread and wine and told them that if they wanted to be great, they must become servants as he had been. He already knew that Judas would betray him and Peter would deny him and that dark hours lay ahead. Still he maintained his serenity because he had accomplished what he had set out to do just three short years ago.

I wish I could have been some comfort to him in garden at Gethsemane, although I am not sure what I could have said or done that would have made any difference. Knowing me, I would have gotten into a confrontation with the mob that came for him and would probably have tried to get a piece of Judas.

I think that would have greatly disappointed Jesus who would have wondered if I had heard anything he had said over the past three years.

I wish I knew what I

would have done during the mockery of a trial, the humiliations he suffered and the Crucifixion. Would I have thrown up my hands in despair and left him to die? Would I have worried that I might be next? Would I have denied knowing him? These are easy questions to answer in hindsight, but I suspect I would have been scared then. Very scared.

I wish I had been with his followers on that extraordinary morning three days later when they looked in the tomb. What had been total despair was now unspeakable joy. The tomb was empty. Hallelujah!

Yes, I wish I had been in Jerusalem that extraordinary week and I wish you could have been with me.

After what we saw, maybe we could remember that Easter isn’t about dyed eggs, bunnies and bonnets — as pleasant as those things may be. Easter is about celebrating the One who gives us hope that something better awaits us when this life is done. A miraculous day. A joyous day. That is what Easter is really about. I wish we would all remember that.

The FairTax means freedom from tax code Nobel Prize-winning economist Milton Friedman once said, “Sloth and lack of enterprise flourish when hard work and the taking of risks are not rewarded.” While I believe this statement to be true, I am grateful it has never characterized the American spirit.

Hard work and risk taking are precisely what built our great nation, and it is through these traits in Americans across the nation that we will once again have a thriving economy. To unleash the tremendous resource that is the American worker, entrepreneur and innovator, we need only to align the tax code with our core principles. That is

owners and entrepreneurs to make decisions based on their own resources and vision, not a convoluted, punitive compilation of regulations.

It is no small thing that the FairTax also returns to Americans the freedom of anonymity. No federal Rob bureaucracy should ever Woodall know as much about us as the IRS does, particuwhat excites me about the larly a federal bureauFairTax. cracy as powerful as the The FairTax means IRS.

The FairTax means Washington back to the freedom for business people in such a signifi-

cant way as the FairTax is certain to encounter political inertia. From its inception, we have all experienced the pushback of those with a vested interest in the status quo. The tax code is by far the most effective tool for politicians to manipulate the behavior of Americans, and the FairTax removes this very powerful weapon from their arsenal. The fact that there is a strong resistance to it can neither surprise, nor discourage us.

The immense dedication of those in the FairTax community across the country is directly responsible for the consistent and significant progress we are seeing in Washington.

Members of Congress become a co-sponsor of this bill because their constituents demand it, and that is exactly how it should be.

With 84 co-sponsors, the FairTax has become the most popular fundamental tax reform bill in Congress, and its support continues to grow. There are more supporters on the Ways & Means Committee than ever before and this has led to a hearing specifically on H.R. 25 (the FairTax) for the first time in a decade. As the Ways & Means Committee discusses tax reform, the FairTax emerges as a powerful voice in the conversation that is impossible to ignore, try as Washington special interests might.

Its strength, however, is not found in bearing the seal of approval from the political establishment, but rather in who fuels the movement: the American people. If we continue to convince more and more of our neighbors of the benefits of the FairTax, the call to action in Washington will one day overcome the loud voices calling for more of the same. Through the partnership and dedication of all those in the FairTax community, I am confident we will one day succeed in making April 15 just another spring day.

Remembering visit to the Holy Land this Easter Easter. Christ is Risen.

I spent the first 22 Easters of my life, as well as I can remember, in Porterdale. I always looked forward to attending Sunrise Service at Julia A. Porter United Methodist Church, even before it was united.

For years I went with two dear friends, Annie Lee Day and Mae Hardman.

One year, when I was 19, I climbed out of a window at Newton General Hospital, before it was General, to attend. I was a patient, but I wasn’t too sick to attend services on Easter.

Iris Standard, a Lay Minister in the Methodist Church, often brought the message. Now I am a Methodist Lay Minister and will have the distinct honor of delivering the sunrise message and preaching on Resurrection Sunday for the good folks of the New Cov-

down by the bay, and I was introduced to the song “The Lord of the Dance.”

Lynn was taken from us many, many years ago, but I still remember that Easter Sunday morning every time I hear that song. Have I told you lately how much I hate Darrell cancer?

One Easter weekend I Huckaby traveled to Lexington, Ky., with several members of enant Fellowship Church in my Cousins Middle School Conyers.

We had a splendid the mistake of falling asleep weekend. We took in spring just north of Marietta and training game and snorthat fried chicken was all keled and ate at the Kapok eaten long before he woke Tree. On Easter Sunday up, around the Tennesmorning we attended a see state line. I remember beautiful sunrise service, we went to a brand new

church on Easter Sunday, before heading home. The people seemed thrilled to have a visiting basketball team from Georgia at their church dedication.

Once my lovely wife, Lisa, and I were married we were gone more than we were home at Easter. Whenever we were at home, however, we always worshipped at sunrise. I will never forget the Easter morning my daughter, Jamie Leigh, and I stood shivering in the Ebenezer Methodist Church parking lot while Terry Walden preached from the back of a pickup truck.

We were in Cocoa Beach, Fla., on the Easter after 9/11. We as a nation were still fidgety back then and when I woke up and looked out of my hotel room that Sunday morning I saw a big crowd gathered on the beach, outside

the condo unit next door.

Fearing the worst I threw on my clothes and hurried downstairs to see what had happened.

The Resurrection had happened. A local church was hosting an impromptu Sunrise Service for vacationers. We were singing “Up From the Grave He Arose” as the sun made its first appearance out of the Atlantic Ocean that day.

We have spent dozens of Easters on Jekyll Island.

The Easter bunny always found my kids there and on most of those Easters I made it to the community services by the beach.

The last time I was in town on Easter I got to hear my good friend Bruce Walker play his guitar and sing at Sunrise Service. I love Bruce and could listen to him play and sing all night. A few times I have

been fortunate enough.

This year I think Easter will be even more significant than in the previous 62 Easters I have spent on this planet. About a month ago I had the privilege of leading a pilgrimage to the Holy Land. Now I understand a lot more about the Bible stories I have been reading and listening to my entire life. I have prayed atop the Mount of Olives and in the Garden of Gethsemane. I have seen Golgotha and touched Calvary and I have been inside the tomb where Jesus Christ was placed— at least what people think was the tomb.

And guess what, y’all?

It is still empty.

He is Risen, indeed!

Cows •From Page 1A Last week, Gwinnett County animal control was called to the 84-year-old’s property by a concerned neighbor. Animal control contacted the Department of Agriculture and the University of Georgia veterinary school. The Division of Aging Services has also been consulted, police spokesman Cpl. Jake Smith said.

Authorities have determined that the cows aren’t victims of any type of disease, simply malnutrition. Experts have posited that perhaps the problem is the result of bad, low-protein hay, which has been a common issue in Georgia following a particularly rainy winter.

Smith said Friday that police could charge Lamb with animal cruelty but likely won’t do so.

“There was certainly no criminal intent on his part,” Smith said.

After that, it gets complicated.

If the county were to seize the cattle, they would have to be sold or given to

Recently the Gwinnett County animal control visited the 87-acre Buford farm belonging to John Lamb, claiming that his cows are malnourished. Lamb has been caring for the cows on his farm since 1955.

a private owner who would use them only as “pets” — they couldn’t be used for food or anything else. The county would get a big headache and Lamb would receive no money.

“If we were to take them it would kind of put everyone in a bind,” Smith said.

Smith said the police department, which oversees

animal control, is hoping for a “private arrangement” to be made between Lamb and an outside buyer.

Lamb said he’s had multiple people call in hopes of purchasing some or all of the cattle, but nothing has come through. And he’s not sure he wants it to.

“The cows are really

a lot of company to me.

They’re basically my family, really,” Lamb said. “I wouldn’t want to get rid of them. I wouldn’t want to live here without them.”

Lamb said he will meet with his attorney on Monday to figure out the next step, legally and otherwise.

In the meantime, the cows A calf is seen on the Buford farm belonging to John remain on his property.

GREATER GWINNETT CHAMPIONSHIP

Golf Channel looks for great shots, storylines

By Keith Farner

keith.farner @gwinnettdailypost.com

DULUTH — The way TPC Sugarloaf is designed, a dramatic finish is not required for a television audience.

While Golf Channel producer Brandt Packer said his ideal back nine leaderboard on Sunday would include a big name, a rookie and one of the Champions Tour’s best players, the picturesque par-5 No. 18 hole offers a safety net.

“There’s nothing better on this tour than a par-5 finishing hole that’s a risk-reward,” said Packer, who is leading a crew of 65 people, which includes technicians, producers and announcers. “The cool thing is even if a player’s not playing well, I can go to 18, and have a downhill second shot over water; pretty cool thing to watch. You could see eagles, you could see double bogeys. As long as we follow the leaders, and then the big names, 18’s always a cool storyline.”

The first broadcast of the Greater Gwinnett Championship on the Golf Channel began just after noon on Friday with host Bob Papa and analyst Lanny Wadkins discussing Champions Tour players who were in the Masters field, along with Masters champion Bubba Watson and contender Jordan Spieth.

High above No. 18 is a camera positioned above the booth, where Papa and Wadkins will broadcast, that provides the signature angle of the tournament.

“It’s a such a great shot, and a great look, I’ll go to that shot a lot,” Packer said.

“That’s why we put it there.”

Weather was another storyline as the tournament began with temperatures in the 50s and a light rain.

While the Champions Tour allows on-course interviews, Packer said that was less likely if the rain continued.

That caused the course to play longer, Packer said, and he expected to focus on No.

“Saturday is the day we fly by the seat of our pants more than any other day,” Packer said. “They call it moving day for a reason. Guys go low, leaders feel the pressure.

At 11:05 a.m., a fellow officer found Hester and another man — later identified as 26-year-old car thief Danzell Lee Hayes — dead near Rockbridge Road.

Witnesses later reported seeing the blue Lincoln Continental driven by Hayes moving slowly before suddenly turning into the driveway at 212 Rockbridge Road. Hester’s squad car followed. The stop was never radioed in, which wasn’t protocol but not uncommon. Because Hester didn’t turn his lights on, the video camera in his squad car was never activated.

Authorities believe at least nine shots were fired in the subsequent struggle between Hester and Hayes.

The beloved officer was wearing a bulletproof vest but was shot several times; Hayes, in whose Decatur apartment police later found a large amount of stolen goods, was shot at least once.

Both men were killed.

When authorities found them, Hester had Hayes’ driver’s license and insurance card in his hands.

Last year’s storyline at the tournament was Bernhard Langer with a weekend comeback to win, while second-round leader Esteban Toledo had two double bogeys on Sunday. That’s a pretty good storyline to fit the ongoing debate in the production trailer of what’s the ideal Sunday finish, if it could be ordered.

“If you have the best player out here, the biggest star, and a rookie, that would be pretty good,” Packer said.

“The great thing about this tour is there are very few unknowns. This tour probably has the best — if you had to jumble them up and throw them out — the best stories out there. Not many guys can come out and sneak up on you.”

“I just can’t express in words how devastating it is to realize something like that happened,” Kelly said. “It’s like a family when you’re a small department like that.” nnn Hester’s children were too young to grasp exactly what happened at the time of his death. As they got older, though, they grew to know their father.

“I would tell them stories of what he’d done with them and how he treated them and how he loved them and how he provided for us and took care of us,” Hanson said.

Michael Hester was a lot of things, they found out — a father, a friend, a fair and loving and happy person.

He was the kind of cop who

took time putting on his uniform, one who dressed with pride each morning while his wife looked on.

“Just to watch him, his passion and his love for his job,” Hanson said. “It was amazing.”

Hester’s funeral was held at Hebron Baptist Church in Dacula. Hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of people came, law enforcement and otherwise. The sanctuary was filled and the crowd spilled into the parking lot.

As the first car in the procession pulled into the church parking lot that day, the last one was just leaving Carl — a town some seven miles away. As the mourners drove through Dacula,

an old man plowing a field stopped his tractor, walked to the side of the road and held a hat over his heart.

Social Security to resume benefits statement mailings

By Mark Miller

the Social Security Administration will resume mailings at five-year CHICAGO — Paper intervals to workers who Social Security benefits have not signed up to view statements, which used to their statements online, an be mailed out every year agency spokesman told Reand then fell victim to bud- uters. The statements will get cuts, are going to make be sent to workers at ages a partial comeback.

25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55 Starting this September, and 60, he said, adding the Reuters

agency would continue to promote use of the online statements.

The SSA stopped mailing most paper statements in 2011 in response to budget pressures, and saved the SSA $70 million annually — about 50 cents per mailed statement.

But the decision has been

a sore point with some critics, who argue the statement provides a valuable annual reminder to workers of what they can expect to get back from payroll taxes in the future.

The annual statement includes an estimate of monthly benefits at various claiming ages, and

for disability claims. It explains how benefits are calculated, and displays the worker’s history of income subject to Social Security tax.

The SSA budget is funded mainly by the same payroll tax revenue used for paying benefits but Congress, which approves

the agency’s budget, has approved less than the agency’s request in 14 of the past 16 years. In fiscal 2012, for example, SSA operated with $11.4 billion, just 88 percent of the amount requested.

The cuts have led to sharp reductions in SSA customer service. Nationwide, staff is down to 62,000 from a peak of 70,000 in the 1990s.

So far, only 10 million American wage earners — just 6 percent of all workers — have signed up at the site.

Man found dead at Duluth apartment

By Camie Young

camie.young @gwinnettdailypost.com

Police are investigating a murder after a man was found dead at a Duluth apartment complex Saturday.

The man, who has not been identified, was found after police were dispatched to the Astor Place Apartments in reference to an unknown medical problem at about noon, officials said.

The man, described as black, had a possible gunshot wound and was found on the ground behind building 500, police said.

A beige Ford Focus, believed to belong to the victim, was removed from the scene for processing, a press release said.

The suspect or suspects are still unknown, officials said later that afternoon, and the identity of the victim was withheld until his family could be notified.

Gwinnett Police asks anyone who knows about the case to call 770-5135700.

“It’s something (special) to do, watching a legendary guy play his game,” Jim Hall said. “It’s fun to do.”

Stan Hall said he isn’t sure how the weather will impact the turnout, which was expected to reach 40,000 for the entire event.

The Easter holiday could also affect today’s attendance, he said, but added that tee times would allow people to attend church services, and the Easter bunny will be on hand to greet kids.

“We’ll be interested to see how it works out,” he said of the tournament, which brought an economic impact of $10 million last year, a study showed.

Bill Blackwell said he’d likely sneak out after Easter brunch to watch the conclusion of the tournament.

“I think it’s great,” he said, watching from the grandstands at the 18th green Saturday. “There’s a lot of economic impact for the county and its recognition, national publicity. It does good things for the charities (which receive donations). … Hopefully, it’ll be nice tomorrow.”

Shiloh girls hoops

By David Friedlander david.friedlander @gwinnettdailypost.com

Shiloh school administrators were looking for someone with the versatility to challenge a team both athletically and academically as the school’s new head girls basketball coach.

And they seem to have found just what they were looking for in Regina Tate, who was introduced to the players as their new coach Friday.

A former two-sport standout at Shaw High School in her native Columbus and at Georgia Tech, the 35-yearold Tate has spent the last seven seasons as head girls basketball coach at Pace Academy in Atlanta, where she has guided the Knights to a 106-67 record that has included a trip to the Class A state tournament every season.

But just as important, according to Shiloh athletics director Mike Cammack is her commitment to academics.

A former valedictorian of her high school class, Tate also holds a bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering from Tech, as well as two master’s degrees.

“We had a lot of good applicants, and at the time there were a lot of jobs open (in Gwinnett County), Cammack said. “We contacted Regina, and she was very receptive.

What I really like about her is she’s all about relationships and getting the job done. She sounds like a players coach, but she also sounds tough, too.

“She’s done a real good job at Pace. … With her background and commitment to academics, and with the girls we’ve got coming back, we believe we’ve got somebody who will make sure they keep working on exhibiting (excellence both athletically and academically).”

And Tate sees just as much potential in the Shiloh program.

What’s more important, according to Tate, is the competitive spirit she sees at Shiloh, an important trait to someone who earned thirdteam All-ACC honors her senior year at Tech and was a

Weather, fumbles don’t damper Tech’s spring football game

By David Friedlander david.friedlander @gwinnettdailypost.com

ATLANTA — The cold and rain kept the crowd at Bobby Dodd Stadium for Georgia Tech’s Friday Night on the Flats spring football scrimmage to a few thousand brave souls, as well as contributed to some sloppy play.

Still, the 20-12 victory

by the White team over the Gold team produced several moments for coach Paul Johnson and his staff and the Yellow Jackets players to feel good about as spring practice concluded.

“The conditions weren’t great,” Johnson said. “That ball, if you were out on the field, was hard to handle. … I think some guys made some plays.”

Making the most plays was quarterback Tim Byerly, who got the majority of the snaps with the first-team offense Friday with projected starter Justin Thomas sitting out and nursing a minor shoulder injury. Byerly produced 101 yards and a touchdown on 26 carries and completed 5 of 11 passes for 69 yards.

But he also had several of

the 13 combined fumbles by the two teams, one of which wound up in the hands of Isaiah Johnson for an 86yard touchdown return — one of two fumble returns for scores by the Gold team defense on the day.

Overall, Byerly was pleased with both his own performance and that of the White team offense, which rolled up 373 total yards on

the night, including 304 on the ground.

“I thought we played pretty hard,” Byerly said.

“Those first few drives, they got off pretty slow. I fumbled a few snaps here and there, but after that — actually that first series with no-huddle — we got ourselves in a pretty good rhythm.

“Our guys fought hard

(Friday) night, for the most part. We moved the ball pretty well, but I think like Coach (Johnson) said earlier, we can’t have the ball on the ground as much like that to win any type of football game.”

The biggest accomplishment — other than holding onto the ball in a

Jordan Adams opted to return to UCLA for his junior season, forgoing an opportunity to enter the NBA Draft early.

The 6-foot-5, 220-pound guard — a Lawrenceville native who played two seasons at Central Gwinnett and two at Oak Hill Academy (Va.) — has averaged 16.4 points in his first two college seasons and has already topped the 1,000-point mark at 1,131.

Adams led the Bruins in scoring this past season at 17.4 per game and was second on the team at 5.3 rebounds, earning All-Pac 12 first-team honors. He also broke the school record for steals in a season with 95, averaging 2.6 to lead the Pac-12 in that category for the second straight season.

He announced his decision via a school release late this week.

“I’ve had so much fun playing here at UCLA, and I’m really excited about the team we’re going to have next year,” Adams said. “Once the season ended, my family and I began carefully weighing all of my options. In the end, staying at UCLA for my junior year is a winwin situation. I’m glad that I went through the process, received constructive feedback and had time to reflect on what I truly want. I love being a Bruin.

I’m looking forward to getting back in the gym and the weight room to get better, and I can’t wait for next season.”

Adams was projected as a late first-round or second-round pick by most services.

“Obviously we are really excited to have Jordan returning to our program,” UCLA head coach Steve Alford said. “He has been a huge part of this team the last two years, and he will have an even greater role next season. He’s going to continue to get better, and there’s no doubt that he will be successful in the NBA when that day comes. It’s only a matter of when, not if. He’s the kind of guy you want in your locker room, on your team and on your court. Jordan is the total package and again, we couldn’t be more excited to have him back.”

Kyle Korver each added 12. Carroll also had 10 rebounds.

The second game of the best-of-seven series is Tuesday night in Indianapolis.

Teague has been a thorn in the Pacers’ side recently.

He scored 25 points in the Hawks’ 107-88 victory at Indiana on April 6.

The game took a physical path in the third quarter, when Indiana forward David West and Atlanta center Pero Antic stood face to face in an argument after Antic pushed West hard from behind. After double technical fouls were called on West and Antic, West drove in and scored on a layup.

That seemed only to motivate the Hawks.

Atlanta scored the next 14 points and by the time Indiana guard C.J. Watson hit a 3-point shot with 3:37 left in the third quarter, the Pacers were down by 16 points.

The Pacers battled back from a nine-point deficit in the first quarter after a 16-2 Atlanta run put the Hawks in control. The Pacers went more than three minutes without scoring a basket and had just one basket — a layup by guard George Hill following an Atlanta turnover — in nearly six minutes.

Former Hawk leads Nets to win Warriors 109, Clippers 105 LOS ANGELES — Guard Klay Thompson scored 22 points and forward David Lee added 20 points and 13 rebounds, and the Golden State Warriors surprised the Los Angeles Clippers with a 109-105 victory in the opening round of the Western Conference quarterfinals Saturday before a sellout crowd of 19,339 at Staples Center Guard Stephen Curry and forward Harrison Barnes scored 14 apiece for the Warriors, who grabbed a 1-0 lead in the best-of-seven series. Game 2 is Monday at Staples.

The Warriors prevailed despite blowing a doubledigit lead in the fourth quarter.

They led 98-88 after a layup by Lee midway through the final period, but the Clippers used a 15-4 surge to take a 103102 lead after a free throw by guard Darren Collison with 2:10 left.

A 3-pointer by Barnes gave Golden State the lead again, but forward Blake Griffin, who was plagued by foul trouble, tied it at 105 with two free throws with 1:31 remaining.

It stayed that way until forward Draymond Green hit a pair of free throws for a 107-105 Warriors’ lead with 24 seconds left.

Los Angeles point guard Chris Paul turned the ball with 18.9 seconds remaining after being defended

by Green before a free throw by Barnes gave Golden State a 108-105 advantage with 13.9 seconds left.

Paul, who led the Clippers with 28 points with eight assists and foul steals, missed two free throws with 11.9 seconds remaining, forcing the Clippers to foul Green. He missed both free throws, but in the ensuing scramble for the ball Collison stepped out of bounds with eight seconds left. A free throw by Thompson sealed it for Golden State.

Duluth’s Dunlap jumps up leaderboard

“He’s very competitive,” Jimenez said. “Very steady and methodic with everything.”

Langer had a chance for eagle, and the lead, from 30 feet on the par-5 18th.

“I really started playing nicely on the back,” Langer said. “I drove the ball a little better, hit my irons closer, made a few putts.”

The 18th wasn’t one of those.

“If it hadn’t been for the three-putt on 18, I would have shot 30 on the back, which is a really good score,” Langer said.

But he still holds second place alone, one shot ahead of Fred Couples. The trio, which played so well last week at the Masters, tees off together at 1 p.m. today for the final round.

“I’m exited to play with Miguel and Bernhard, and that’s about as good a pairing as you’re going to get,” Couples said. “I’m thrilled about that, to have a shot at winning. I do like the course.

•From Page 1B support each other,’” Haddad said. “We just tried to have a positive mentality and I think that’s what came out in our play. Guys started having fun. Guys started bonding.”

Gwinnett again won seven of 10 games between Feb. 25 and March 17 . Not coincidentally, Guggenberger came on board Feb. 28. He finished with a 10-5 record, a .913 save percentage and a 2.75 goals-against average.

“He was huge for us in the net,” Haddad said. “He gets the guys going. He challenges us in practice. It’s turned into a really healthy atmosphere. It was easy for them to go out and work hard in practice. It was easy for them to go out and work hard in games.

“We battled back and we did what it was in our power to do. I think we can be proud of that.”

The Gladiators were about .500 over the final weeks of the season, but it included several impressive wins — further helping to boost the mood.

They beat division rival, and playoff-bound, Greenville in back-to-back games at home. The first night, Gwinnett stormed back after giving up three goals on the first three shots of the game to score six unanswered and win 6-4. The following night was another offensive show with the Gladiators winning 7-3.

And they closed out the season with a 7-0 walloping of struggling Elmira in front of more than 6,000 fans at the arena.

“Trevor Dodds and his caddie and my caddie were staying there, so I’ve got kind of a full house,” Dunlap said. “But it’s good. It’s always nice to sleep in your own bed.

“Another good thing about the Champions Tour is the lack of early morning wakeup calls, so it’s nice not to set your alarm for 5:05 or some ridiculous time.”

This is just the fifth event for Dunlap on the Tour this season. He was one of several players at the top of the leaderboard at the Toshiba Classic in mid-March, but was derailed by bogeys at No. 14 and 17 to finish tied for fifth.

“It’s just a nice gig to get,”

walk, but to have a shot at winning, you’ve got to play well.

“I can’t go out there and play mediocre against those two guys — or for that matter anyone else at 4- or 5-under.”

Perhaps it’s not such a surprise that those who made noise at Augusta should be at the top of the leaderboard at Sugarloaf. The courses set up similarly, which was why the former PGA stop here a week before the Masters was so popular with players.

“Probably when you come in for a major like the Masters in this case and you are playing well there, you are like in tune,” Jimenez said.

“You see also Langer is playing very well two rounds in a row and also Fred Couples.

“It will be a nice match tomorrow. (But) you have to beat not only one or two players, (you have) to beat the field.”

Five players finished at 5-under, including Jay Haas and Chien Soon Lu, who both shot 68.

Haas and Lu used their own birdie spurts to put themselves in position headed for the final day. After opening-round 71s, they finished Saturday tied for fourth with Duffy Waldorf, Kenny Perry and Steve Pate.

Rick Emmett said. “There haven’t been games where we’ve gone in and it’s been ‘whoa.’ Certainly it was frustrating. Nobody wanted to be in the situation we were in as far as record.

“Do you second-guess at times? Yes. But all in all, we really believed in what we were doing and the message we’re sending. It takes a while to build a culture. It’s taken us a good part of five months to get there. We’re finally there, but out of time.”

It was a far better finish to the season than the start.

Gwinnett only earned points for a shootout win through the first eight games before finally getting a regulation win on Nov. 8. None of those losses were by more than two goals, but it was still enough to leave the team an uphill battle.

“When you start a season like we did, with team success and personal success not being there, it creates a lot more distraction,” Haddad

said. “One of our problems this year was our starts. It just wasn’t there most of the year.

But the more I think about it, the more I see the distractions that were right in front of us — not having success, being frustrated, no team structure, guys are kind of on their own pages. Just a big mess at the start of the year.

I think that’s what really got into our heads.

“When we’d have a 20-minute intermission just to sit down and think about everybody’s own individual game and the team game, it was stressful. It was an uneasy feeling.”

They spent much of the year ironing out problems and finally arrived at a consistently good product. It was just way too late to salvage the season.

“As we got into the new year, we went through enough of that crap that everybody individually just said, ‘I’m going to change the way I’m thinking, I’m

Tech

Dunlap said of the Champions Tour. “That Tour School is a tough one. There’s only five spots. Where there’s that few, you can still play pretty well and not get one.”

He’s mixing in a few stops on the Web.com Tour as well this season. He was looking to play eight to 10, but the two tour schedules are meshing as well as he hoped.

“But if I don’t play any more (than two or three Web. com events), that’s because I get in the majors out here and the invitationals and what have you,” Dunlap said. “Hopefully there’s more of that.”

Which makes financial sense, too.

“Three times the money and half the number of people,” Dunlap said. “You know, it didn’t take a finance degree from Florida to figure that one out.”

first quarter filled with six fumbles — in the early going was the low line-drive that kicker Harrison Butker sent through the driving rain and wind for a 54-yard field goal that gave the White team a 3-0 lead with 10:56 left in the first quarter.

Finally, Byerly got the White offense going late in the opening frame with the no-huddle drive he referenced — a new wrinkle the Jackets have emphasized this spring.

The 6-foot, 215-pound redshirt junior picked up the game’s first two first downs on option keepers, and had another run that moved the pile an extra 5 yards to set up third and less than a yard from the Gold 40-yard line.

That’s where senior B-back Zach Laskey broke through the Gold defensive line to not only pick up another first down, but sprint all the way for a 40-yard saves,” Haas said. “But the touchdown that pushed the course is playing hard for White lead to 10-0 with four me.

•From Page 1B going to change the way I’m playing,’” Haddad said. “All together, we started climbing out of the hole. Those are the things you need to focus on.”

When Emmett was hired to replace John Wroblewski last August, he essentially had to build a roster from scratch. There were only a small handful of players returning and no new contracts on the books.

“It’s not ideal,” Emmett said in a vast understatement. “It was our situation.

If you had a choice, you wouldn’t do it that way, but we had time to build a team and there’s no excuses about that.

“But certainly going into this offseason, there’s some promise. I like where we are up front and in the pipes.”

Both Emmett and Haddad feel a number of players — those who slogged through the toughest times and several who joined the team down the stretch — are interested in returning.

“You always want to get to the next level, so there will be some players looking for higher levels of hockey,” Haddad said. “There will be some players maybe it will be their last season. For the younger players, I think this is a great spot to start the season.

“I’d like to think there’s a core group of guys here who are thinking along the lines of, ‘I want to give it another shot with these guys.’ We had a couple tough breaks this year. We didn’t get to let our true colors shine and we want another shot at proving to the league and ourselves what we’re capable of. I think there’s a lot to build off of.”

drive stalled and Butker’s field goal attempt went wide left to keep the game at 10-6.

However, the White team did get a 40-yard field goal from Butker as time expired in the half, sending it into intermission with a 13-6 lead.

And the White team executed far better with its opening drive of the second half, marching 77 yards in 16 plays, eating up 8:41 off the clock in the process.

Byerly kept the drive alive with a keeper on fourth and less than a yard from the Gold 6 before diving in from 2 yards out two plays later to push the White lead to 20-6 with 4:28 left in the third quarter.

Redshirt freshman Ty Griffin then led the Gold offense’s best drive of the night, including a 25-yard run that set his team up in the red zone.

But after a pass interference penalty set the Gold up at the White 2, it couldn’t punch the ball in before turning the ball over on downs.

The Gold did eventually score again when Demond Smith picked up another fumble, this one from White team back-up Brady Swilling, and returned it 42 yards for a score with 7:11 remaining that accounted for the final score after the two-point conversion failed — appropriately enough, on a fumble.

Through all the ups and downs on the night, Johnson believes several players made progress in establishing themselves throughout the spring and into Friday night.

One of those players was redshirt senior defensive lineman Shawn Green, who made two physical tackles in the second half and demonstrated to Johnson that he is returning to full health.

“Shawn’s had a good spring,” Johnson said of the 6-0, 280-pound Grayson grad. “He’s quick. He’s hard to cut off. … I think if Shawn can stay healthy, he’s got a chance to really help us. He looks like the player we recruited a few years ago.”

“I wanted to be somewhere where the investment in girls athletics was such that they wanted to be successful,” said Tate, who will also help coach in Shiloh track and field program. “They want (the girls teams) to be competitive, and my background supports that as a mission.”

That mission will be a difficult one competing in a region as tough as 8-AAAAAA, which features the reigning Class AAAAAA state runner-up in Archer and perennial powerhouse Parkview.

But the Generals took a

step forward this past season, improving five wins from the previous year by posting an 8-16 record.

And Tate says she senses from her brief meeting with the team that the players are ready to step up to a higher level of competitiveness.

“It’s big-time basketball (in Region 8-AAAAAA),” Tate said. “I don’t expect it to happen in a year, but what I do expect is a level of work ethic and commitment to getting there. If we do that, we can be very competitive.

“I did meet about 20 (players on Friday), and what’s most important to them is they’re ready for a fresh start, and they’re ready for the next level of competition.”

Minor strong in G-Braves’ win

By David Friedlander david.friedlander @gwinnettdailypost.com

LAWRENCEVILLE — Based on what will likely be his final rehabilitation start, Mike Minor looks ready to rejoin the Atlanta Braves’ starting rotation.

The left-hander withstood a rough start to throw six strong innings, and got offensive support from 12 hits in the Gwinnett Braves’ 9-6 win over the Charlotte Knights before 5,272 fans at Coolray Field on Saturday.

Minor, who started the season on the disabled list from a sore shoulder that flared up due to his late start to spring training from an unrelated offseason medical procedure, gave up just four hits and three runs, only two earned, with no walks and four strikeouts over 80 pitches, with 52 going for strikes.

And he essentially cruised after giving up two hits and two runs over the first four batters of the game.

“I had a tough first inning, but other than that, I started working on getting

some pitches in — my change up,” Minor said.

“Looks like I got (Charlotte) off-balance a little bit. I think the main thing was going out there and being healthy and walking away feeling healthy, and getting the pitch count up.

“I could’ve thrown to 90 (pitches) this time. I think last time I threw 69 or so. … I feel healthy and (I’m) locating, so I feel pretty good. … Those guys (with the Atlanta Braves’ staff) have been doing a heck of a job, and I don’t want to let them down coming in there. I think we’ve got the (National) league-leading (team) ERA right now.

Hopefully, I won’t skyrocket that.”

Minor’s night got off to a good initial start when he blew a 91 mph fastball on a 3-2 pitch to strike out the game’s first hitter, Gorkys Hernandez.

But Carlos Sanchez took a pitch on the outside corner to the gap in rightcenter for a triple before coming home on Josh Phegley’s sacrifice play to put Charlotte in front 1-0.

Then after getting ahead 0-1 on Matt Davidson, the

Knights’ third baseman jumped on Minor’s next pitch and rocketed it off the back wall of the bullpen in left field for a solo homer to push the lead to 2-0.

However, it didn’t take long for the G-Braves to get those runs back, and then some. “(The Knights) were just aggressive,” Minor said. “I left the ball over the middle of the plate trying to get some strikes.

They were aggressive and they hit the ball hard (in the first inning).”

Jose Constanza and Phil Gosselin drew back-toback walks to lead off the bottom of the first before Tommy La Stella loaded the bases with a single.

Ernesto Mejia then sent a hard-hit ball inside the third-base bag for a tworun double that pulled the G-Braves even at 2-apiece.

Todd Cunningham would later put the GBraves in front by blooping a two-run double down the left-field line, and another run came home on Tyler Saladino’s throwing error.

By the time the inning

was over, 10 hitters had come to the plate, and the G-Braves had a 5-2 lead.

Given the lead, Minor then settled down, retiring 14 of the next 15 Knights hitters he faced before Carlos Sanchez reached on Gosselin’s throwing error with one out in the sixth.

Sanchez would eventually come around to score an unearned run on Phegley’s second sac fly of the night, but Minor recovered nicely to avoid further damage.

And by that time, Christian Bethancourt’s RBI single in the third and another Charlotte error in the fifth had given him extra cushion, leaving the G-Braves with a 7-3 lead.

Mejia would add another two-run double in the bottom of the eighth to give him two hits and four RBIs on the night, while Pedro Beato battled three walks, plus Denis Phipps’ sac fly and Dan Black’s two-run double in the ninth, to finally put the game away.

Cunningham finished the game 3-for-3 — his second straight three-hit game — with a walk, a stolen base and two RBIs, and La Stella added three hits.

Braves fend off late Mets rally The Sports Xchange

NEW YORK — Righthander Ervin Santana threw seven solid innings Saturday night and the Atlanta Braves staved off eighth- and ninthinning comeback attempts by the New York Mets in a 7-5 win at Citi Field.

Santana allowed just one run — scored by the first batter of the game, Mets left fielder Eric Young — on six hits and two walks while striking out seven before the Mets scored two runs on four singles in the eighth off right-hander David Carpenter.

But first baseman Lucas Duda’s potential go-ahead homer was caught at the right field wall by Jason Heyward and shortstop Ruben Tejada grounded out to second with runners at the corners to end the eighth.

Braves left fielder Justin Upton crushed a three-run homer with two outs in the top of the ninth to provide Atlanta with some insurance it needed. Right-handed closer Craig Kimbrel — appearing in a game for the first time since April 12 — allowed four hits in the ninth, including an RBI double by third baseman David Wright and an RBI single by centerfielder Chris Young.

Kimbrel then walked Duda to load the bases. He was pulled for right-hander Jordan Walden, who earned the save by retiring catcher Travis d’Arnaud on a

grounder to short.

The Braves (12-5) scored five of their runs following throwing errors by Mets pitchers. Atlanta took the lead for good following right-handed starter Bartolo Colon’s error in the third, while the ninth began when right-hander Jose Valverde misplayed a comebacker by pinch-hitter Jordan Schafer.

Justin Upton finished 3-for-5 while Braves first baseman Freddie Freeman continued his career-long dominance of the Mets by

going 3-for-4 with an RBI single. Freeman is hitting .324 with 13 homers and 49 RBI in 216 career at-bats overall against the Mets and .476 (10-of-21) with one homer and six RBI this season.

Wright and Chris Young each had three hits and two RBI for the Mets (8-9) while second baseman Daniel Murphy had three hits. d’Arnaud had two hits and an RBI. The Mets went down in order just once in seven

innings against Santana, but stranded three runners in scoring position. In addition, a baserunning mistake

by Duda may have cost the Mets a run in the second.

Colon allowed three runs on eight hits and one walk while striking out six over seven innings.

The Mets took a quick 1-0 lead after Santana — who opened his first start of the season by throwing 20 straight strikes against New York on April 9 — walked left fielder Eric Young leading off the bottom of the first. Young then stole second, took third on second baseman Daniel Murphy’s long flyout to center and scored on Wright’s single past a drawn-in infield.

Mets first baseman Lucas Duda led off the second with a double and took third on a throwing error by centerfielder B.J. Upton, but Duda was caught in a rundown when he broke for home on a grounder to short by catcher Travis d’Arnaud, who ended up stranded at second.

A throwing error by Colon led to the Braves’ two runs in the third. With two outs and runners at first and second, Freeman hit a slow roller back to Colon, whose throw sailed into foul territory behind first base and bounced off the advertising signage. That allowed Santana to score from second and B.J. Upton to race home all the way from first.

FINAL STAGES Susan Larson

Library honors Earth daily When I travel, the local library is usually part of my itinerary from the boxy brick building in Cornell, Wis., to the quaint cottage in Bull Shoals, Ark. to that splendid structure in Birmingham.

In my own county, I remember delighting in visits to the new state-ofthe-art libraries that decades ago began replacing depression-era bungalows and even the basement of a commercial building.

So, when my friend Nancy Rowland insisted I see the Hamilton Mill Branch, I had no idea what would make this library any nicer than the rest. It took only seconds to realize that not only was this place a work of esthetics, but a work of environmental genius as well.

Designed by Precision Planning Inc. and built

by Garrard Construction Group, it is the first LEED certified library in the state and opened on April 24, 2010, two days after Earth Day. Oh, well, you can’t get everything perfect and you certainly wouldn’t want to rush a masterpiece like this!

The entire building is earth friendly with a reflective roof surface, sunshades and solar control devices, low flow plumbing, native landscaping and recycled materials throughout.

The inside “Art in Architecture” motif designed by local artist Maria Artemis, combines themes of nature and language in our culture. Her series of screened glass “paintings” for the windows, invites customers to more actively interact with their library.

I asked assistant manager Cara Karnes what it was like to work there and if this interactive feature had any effect.

“The light in the branch is fantastic. The staff loves the natural light. I call the Help Desk our tree house since our view highlights the trees and the desk is made of bamboo, which is a renewable resource.”

I had to ask, in light of my own explorations,

Why complain about taxes when they’re put to good use?

How much does your family spend at Walmart each month? Two, three hundred dollars? Let’s call it $3,000 a year, on average.

Now imagine Walmart has the power to simply deduct that amount from your paycheck, in monthly or weekly increments.

Then, at the end of the year, they figure out how much you actually spent and, depending on whether you went over or under, issue a “refund” or demand that you pay the balance — or risk jail.

That’s pretty much how our relationship with the federal government works. They take income taxes out of our paychecks, then decide how much, if any, we get back.

Ambassador for March of Dimes visits Gwinnett Medical

By Danielle Ryan Staff Intern

For anyone watching 6-year-old Aidan Lamothe sign postcards for nurses at the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at Gwinnett Medical Center on Tuesday, it would be impossible to guess that he was born 12 weeks early and weighed only 3 pounds at birth. Aidan is a success story for NICUs, and he is 2014’s National Ambassador for the March of Dimes.

Aidan’s visit Tuesday was to promote the March of Dimes, which has marches scheduled in downtown Atlanta and Gwinnett next Saturday, April 26. April is the national March for Babies month.

Aidan and his family, Jill and Aidan Lamothe,

“The March of Dimes touches everybody,” Jill Lamothe said. “Anyone who’s had the heel stick to test for genetic disorders or taken folic acid during pregnancy has been affected by their research.”

Unlike other walks, there is no minimum donation required to walk.

“The walks are a celebration of those who made it and to remember those who are not with us,” Jill said. “It shows how far we’ve come.”

Why I taught my girls to be ambassadors in fifth grade Both of my daughters got a passport when they graduated from the fifth grade.

I grew up relatively untraveled. My family didn’t have a lot of money, and we had lots of kids, four total, so “travel” was trips to South Carolina in our big Dodge van to visit my grandparents.

But I had an experience in the third grade that exposed me to another culture.

Some family members had a vacation home in Hana Maui. My mom saved money for two years so we could go.

At the time Hana was a remote area, with no phones, no TV and, other than my uncle, very few

Forget Perfect

Lisa McLeod white people. Tourists didn’t go to Hana back then because the trek along the (now) famed “Road to Hana” was treacherous.

But that didn’t deter the Earle family. We had a free place to stay, so we went for a month during the middle of the school year.

Which is how I, a skinny, blond 8-year-old, wound up as the only white person in the third grade class at the Hana school. Most of the other kids had never seen a white person before, or certainly not one as white as me.

For the entire first week, they kept reaching out to touch my long rather unkempt blond hair. Oddly, I wasn’t freaked out at all. They were really nice about it. Once I realized how fascinated they were by it, I began flinging it around the class.

School in Hana was totally different from school in Arlington, Va. We had hula lessons on the beach for an hour every day, no

joke. Our teacher played the ukulele during lunch, where every day we ate foods I had never seen in my life.

For a kid who grew up in a relatively homogeneous comfortable suburb, it was an intensive experience being “the other.”

Hawaii was a state, but back then, the remote village of Hana felt like another world.

Flash forward 30 years.

We’re in a global economy. Yet many people still have a mistrust of other cultures. Which is why I decided when each daughter graduated from the fifth grade, I would take her on a trip to another part of the world.

The rules were simple:

we have to go somewhere they don’t speak English, we’re on a tight budget, and when we get there, we have to use public transportation. They didn’t choose super-exotic locales; one chose France, the other chose Greece.

Before the trips, I made a big deal of getting their passport. I treated it like a rite of passage. They were graduating from the fifth grade, and they were about to become citizens of the world. I told them, “You are an ambassador for your country. “ They took it seriously.

Overseas we rode the subways, ate where the locals did and used our pocket dictionary to communicate as best we could. In every

interaction we were aware that we were the visitors, it was our job to make a good impression for America.

I’m happy to say, those trips launched in both girls a desire to see even more of the world. They love their country, but they also understand that the American way is not the only way.

World travel enlarges people. It’s a big wide world; the more you see of it, the more you appreciate it.

Memories of hope and Easter more vivid than other holidays It is each of the many Easters of my life that I remember more clearly than any other holiday.

Christmases blur together with only a few standing out in my memory, such as the one when it snowed all day, the year I lost my voice completely and the two times that I wasn’t home — one working in Washington, D.C. and another in London.

My birthdays, Thanksgivings, Halloweens and summer holidays are hard to recall specifically. My husband proposed on my birthday, so that one certainly stands out, and one birthday, Mama helped me take down my Christmas tree. Since it’s Jan. 20, you can imagine how dead that tree was and what a mess it made.

Easters, though? I

We were already deep into the remember them all. If throes of spring.

before. (For the record: by late June, the trees had leafed up again and some flowers were hearty enough to re-bloom.)

That’s a rare Easter to remember for reasons other than what makes each distinctive to me.

It is the parade of Easter suits, dresses and hats that I have worn over the years that ground me to a specific Easter. When I look at the photos or videos of our family’s Easter parade, I remember so clearly that moment in time. I recall the sorrows or joys of that season of my life and all that was happening.

The bright green colored suit and matching hat from well over a decade ago remind me of the heartbreak of watching Daddy’s decline and how feeble he was

that last Easter when he grumbled, as usual, about the Easter parade. In the family photo, we all look vibrant and happy while he seems annoyed to be with us because he’s ready to reach his heavenly home.

The peach colored suit, hat and shoes hearken to mind a time when my professional career was uncertain and I was worried. I missed sunrise service that year, too, because it was so hard to pull myself out of bed — not because of laziness but a feeling that loomed close to despair.

The year I wore the cream colored, flowing skirt, jacket and enormous broad-brimmed hat was when I said to the family as we gathered for photos, “I have a feeling someone won’t be here

next year.”

I was right. That was the last Easter photo for both Mama and my brother.

Of course there are Easters where my life was completely joyous, optimistic and sound but I wanted to share these for this reason: Easter is the time that reminds us that hope is eternal and all is possible. Those trials, tribulations and sorrows faded away and were replaced by remarkable opportunities and mountain top high successes and happiness.

Celebrate Easter for the promise of hope it brings.

Local woman receives Service to Humanity award

By Katie Morris Staff Intern

Jeanine Chambers, Peachtree Corners’ very own “angel,” was awarded the 2014 Service to Humanity Award at the University of West Geor-

gia’s 38th Annual Alumni Awards Gala.

Chambers, a 1996 graduate of West Georgia, has served for 14 years as Executive Director of Angel Flight Soars, a nonprofit volunteer pilot organization that arranges

free air transportation to treatments for individuals with medical needs and financial constraints.

Chambers started as an Angel volunteer and then served on the 1997-1998 Board of Directors, during which she won the 1998 Community Service Award. During Chambers’ tenure as Executive Director, Angel Flight Soars has grown 800 percent, and she has led the organization through an overall restructuring and built a high-level of public awareness.

Chambers realized her life’s dream of helping

others through the Angels Flight Soars’ mission and her involvement in the community.

“I am fortunate to get to do what I love, which is Jeanine to help Chambers people, and I get to call it my career too,” Chambers said.

In addition to her work with Angel Flight Soars, Chambers has volunteered as Executive Vice President and board

member of the National Air Care Alliance for 14 years. She was also President and founder of a limited-life non-profit to develop Georgia’s first aviation park and playground for children at the DeKalb Peachtree Airport.

“I accepted the award on behalf of all the volunteer pilots who I serve with at Angel Flight to help patients get to the lifesaving medical care that they need and deserve,” Chambers said.

“Also, in honor of all the patients, especially the children, who share their

light with others in spite of the battles they are facing. It is their hope that keeps me moving forward every day.”

When she isn’t working with Angel Flight Soars or volunteering, Chambers spends time with her daughter, Courtney, and their beloved rescue dog, Marley.

The UWG 2014 Alumni Award Gala’s theme was Evening with the Stars, and it was part of the annual Alumni Week celebration, which reconnects UWG graduates with the campus and each other.

“It’s a great place for everyone. Customers with visiting family members always say, ‘You’ve got to come check out our cool library!’”

Manager Margaret Penn added, “In the first couple of years after the building opened, there were a number of architectural and library groups who came for tours. These days we

often host Boy and Girl Scout troops and other local groups who come to learn about the green features as well as how to use the library.”

I didn’t meet any visitors there, but I thought the next best thing would be to hear the reaction of our new library director, Charles Pace.

“When I first visited the Hamilton Mills Branch I was very impressed with what a light and airy space it is and how natural light and sustainable features

were incorporated into the overall design. Going forward I expect to continue the good work that was done at Hamilton Mills in our future library building projects as we strive to create facilities that will meet the needs of a 21st century community.”

And maybe, along with the green designs, green up the county with some tourist trade.

Building

•From Page 1C been restricted due to lack of space.

It will have three classrooms, eight student study or commons areas, 36 faculty offices and two dean office suites.

At a groundbreaking ceremony last year, Thomas Mundie, dean of the School of Science and Technology, said the number of science, technology, engineering and math majors at GGC is growing at a rate of 30 percent, which is eight percent higher than the college’s overall enrollment growth, from 2011 to 2012.

In June and July, the building will be tested for mechanical and electrical use, which is especially important because of the lab equipment and chemicals, said Rex M. Kizzort, GGC’s director of campus planning, design and construction.

While GGC’s ‘A’ building is diverse in its disciplines, the Allied Health and Science building gives the school, “our best opportunity to combine a variety of labs on campus,” Kizzort said during a recent hard hat tour.

Among the design priorities for the building were spaces for students to study between class time, and open faculty suites to encourage discussion and collaboration between disciplines. Several benches and tables will be in the office areas with rolling marker boards. The design of the building put a priority on using natural light, and faculty office space is designed to let light migrate through the building.

“One of the things GGC does well is mixes faculty so we don’t create silos of offices together,” Kizzort said.

“All chemistry and physics are not necessarily together.

The goal is to get a good interdisciplinary connection between all programs on campus.”

The building also features

“chandelier lighting” and lighting on walls that looks to be reflecting through a window pane.

Also during construction, Kizzort said they changed the lighting system from an expensive fluorescent light to an LED light to save money and improve energy costs.

Throughout the hallways and rooms, the light should be a close mix to daylight lighting.

The building will house the highly competitive nursing program, which last year received approval from the Georgia Board of Nursing following accreditation and curriculum approval from the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools.

The first floor will feature labs for physics, technology, exercise science and napex, which is a combination of neuro-physiology, anatomy, physiology and exercise science.

The second floor will have the nursing program, which will also have an induction ceremony in August.

The third floor, which has the unique views of campus and popular corner office space, will house chemistry labs.

Once the building is completed, the institution can move forward with plans for growth in the two schools the building primarily serves.

The building offers several examples of state-of-the-art

classroom setup that is on par with modern education buildings across the country, Kizzort said.

In the nursing program, for example, students will work in groups of four at a table that features a display screen to share their work around the room, or on the 80-inch display at the front of the room.

“It gives them the ability to see it up close, so they don’t have to worry about where they’re seated in the room, they can see the instructor up close or what another student is talking about,” Kizzort said.

The nursing area is designed to simulate a nursing suite at a hospital. It will have a central control room equipped with wireless technology for managing patient bed simulations, and a 14-bed patient care clinical practice lab.

Nursing students will perform various medical checks on the life responsive mannequins, including blood pressure, temperature and procedures such as cardiac, respiratory or child birth. The nursing suite will also have a neo-natal intensive care unit, and an in-home nursing setup.

“This is a true simulation lab,” Kizzort said. “What did you learn, what kinds of things do you think you need to practice on, so they get a lot of good dialogue.”
