‘UDDERLY CRAZY’ DAY Chick-fil-A customers wear spots for free food

Suwanee Police have arrested a man they believe was responsible for six recent incidents of indecent exposure in the city.

Capt. Cass Mooney said Tuesday that a resident reported a suspicious vehicle on Monday afternoon and police arrested the man after questioning at the police department. Mooney said police were working to complete photo lineups with possible victims.

“Essentially we want to give thanks to citizens,” Mooney said. “We were hoping that someone would see the vehicle and call in.”

Mooney said he was glad that the suspect was arrested before there was another victim after there were already six reports, including one at Town Center Park where the man reportedly got out of his car and walked toward a woman.

Dan Reeves talks shop with SWAT Former Falcons coach shares leadership ideas

Chick-fil-A’s annual Cow Appreciation Day event Tuesday was a hit across Gwinnett County — and the country — as customers dressed up as cows in order to get free food.

Customers who dressed in any type of cow attire, whether it was “head-to-hoof” or sporting a cow-spotted accessory, were rewarded with a free Chick-fil-A entrée of their choice.

“Cow Appreciation Day is the one day where it’s okay to dress ‘udderly’ crazy and get rewarded for it,” said Jon Bridges, Chick-fil-A’s senior vice president and chief marketing officer.

The Gwinnett Police SWAT team is being proactive following recent events that have placed a spotlight on racial tension between the public and law enforcement. Which led to the group being visited by former Atlanta Falcons and Denver Broncos head football coach Dan Reeves on Monday.

Reeves’ visit was scheduled weeks in advance, but his talk with the SWAT team related Dan Reeves to current events as he spoke about relating lessons learned from his career and applying them to serving the community in tough times.

“He was really personable so it was more of a conversation,” Lt. Cleo Atwater said. “What coach Reeves talked

Coffee event allows police, community to interact in Dacula By eriKa Wells

erika.wells @gwinnettdailypost.com

News about tension between law enforcement and the public and race relations has dominated the media in the last few weeks, leaving some afraid, others confused and many angry.

But the crowd at the Coffee With a Cop event at Dunkin Donuts in Dacula seemed to feel at ease Tuesday. People stopped by to commend officers, offer feedback and show how

much they respect them for their service.

The Gwinnett County Police Department has hosted the event in different cities to connect the community and officers.

Following the latest nationwide incidents involving violence against law enforcement and protests against police brutality on minorities, spokeswoman Cpl. Michele Pihera said the community has shown kindness to local officers.

Pihera said while most residents have thanked of-

ficers, dropped off gifts at precincts and made other kind gestures, a few have posted negative comments about police on social media.

She said that citizens should know that members of law enforcement are accountable for their actions like the members of the community they serve.

“This was a chance for us to get out of our cars and go

to a place normal — people would go to for coffee and doughnuts — and get a chance to talk with us,” she said. “We are just like everybody else. When we’re not wearing this uniform, we are members of the community.”

Kylee Fulton, the mother of three biracial children, said fear motivated her to attend with her sons. Fulton, who is white and has a black husband, has sons ages 1, 7 Gwinnett Police Maj.

Snellville police officer nearly struck by car

BY ERIKA WELLS

erika.wells @gwinnettdailypost.com

A Snellville police officer was almost hit by a car after she confronted a man about having sex with a minor in a park on Saturday.

Sgt. Rain Nieddu said she was at Briscoe Park with her K-9 when she saw a naked man on top of a half-naked girl in the backseat of a car at about

9:55 p.m.

Nieddu walked to the car to speak to them and they got out Sgt. Rain and got Nieddu dressed, according to a Snellville police report. She said the man later identified as Kevin Hill got behind the wheel and drove the car in reverse with Nieddu

wedged in the car door and frame.

Hill continued accelerating as Nieddu yelled for him to stop, according to the report. The officer said Hill made a sharp turn and started to drive in a circle.

Nieddu was still wedged and could not reach her stun gun or weapon, the police report said.

“I believed at this time that he was trying to get me to fall off so he could run me over with his ve-

hicle and I was in fear for my life,” she said.

Eventually she was tossed Kevin Hill from the car onto the pavement, barely avoiding being hit by the tires while Hill continued, according to the report.

The girl suffered injuries as she rode in the passen-

ger seat with her door still open.

Snellville Police Officers Kevin Seay and Jacob Callaway responded and said they chased Hill toward Rockdale County and then said they were traveling toward Walton County on Pleasant Hill Road.

Hill turned left onto Rosebud Road, then turned onto Pate Road and headed back into Snellville, according to the police. At some point, Hill reportedly

tossed marijuana out the window.

Hill was recklessly driving as he ran a red light, almost hit another car and nearly lost control when his tires blew out, police said.

The officers eventually arrested Hill at Ga. Highway 124 and Egypt Road.

Nieddu is recovering from her injuries, and Hill was eventually taken to the Gwinnett County jail and faces multiple charges.

Gwinnett County police are still trying to identify the man who they said robbed Piedmont Bank last week, but on Tuesday they named a person of interest.

Spokesman Cpl. Deon Washington said a man captured on a surveillance image at another branch a week before the robbery happened.

Because he matched the physical description of the suspect, police want to identify and talk with him.

The suspect is described as a black man over six feet tall and weighing 220 pounds.

The incident the police are looking for help with happened on July 7 at 5100 Peachtree Parkway when a man forced an employee into the bank at gunpoint at about 6:45 a.m., Washington said.

Once inside the bank, the suspect demanded that the employee open the vault and not activate any of the security alarms.

The employee told the suspect that she did not have the access codes to the vault. The gunman then tied the employee up, left her in a restroom and took her purse with her cell phone and personal cash.

The suspect later walked out of the bank and got into the backseat of a silver Jeep Liberty.

He fled the scene without any of the bank’s money.

Detectives later recovered what is believed to be the getaway vehicle at a nearby apartment complex. The vehicle was stolen out of Atlanta,

About a dozen stations from the Mall of Georgia and the Hamilton Mill area to the Snellville and Gwinnett Place Mall areas had unleaded fuel listed for $1.89 per gallon.

A week ago, only a couple of stations had gas that low.

The stations listed on the website on Monday included the Costco on Venture Drive, two stations near the Mall of Georgia, three in the Hamilton Mill and Little Mulberry Park area, four in the west Lawrenceville area (three on or near the Sugarloaf corridor) and one on U.S. Highway 78, just west of Snellville.

As the streak of gas price drops continues, it inches closer to surpassing the length of the 37day, late summer streak that began last August.

AAA officials said this is the longest streak of price decreases since that run.

The automotive group attributed the recent run of ever-lowering gas prices to a push by refineries who have been “running hard for months to ensure there is enough fuel” to meet the demands of the driving public.

“It has reached the point now that there is so much gasoline in the market that refineries are backing off on the amount of oil they purchase,” AAA officials said in a statement. “This reduction in oil-demand only makes the oil market even more saturated than before, which pushes crude prices lower. Oil prices are now back to lows not seen since midMay.”

world Tribunal rejects Beijing’s South China Sea claims

Sanders endorses Clinton

By John Whitesides Reuters

AMSTERDAM/ BEIJING — An arbitration court ruled on Tuesday that China has no historic title over the waters of the South China Sea and has breached the Philippines’ sovereign rights with its actions, infuriating Beijing which dismissed the case as a farce.

A defiant China, which boycotted the hearings at the Permanent Court of Arbitration in The Hague, vowed again to ignore the ruling and said its armed forces would defend its sovereignty and maritime interests.

China’s state-run Xinhua news agency said shortly before the ruling was announced that a Chinese civilian aircraft had successfully tested two new airports in the disputed Spratly Islands.

And China’s Defence Ministry said a new guided missile destroyer was formally commissioned at a naval base on the southern island province of Hainan, which has responsibility for the South China Sea.

PORTSMOUTH, N.H. — Democrat Bernie Sanders endorsed former rival Hillary Clinton for president in a show of party unity on Tuesday, saying she was the best candidate to fix the country’s problems and beat Republican Donald Trump in the Nov. 8 election.

With Clinton nodding in agreement beside him, Sanders put their bitter primary campaign behind them and said she would take up the fight to ease economic inequality, make college more affordable and expand health care coverage for all Americans.

“This campaign is about the needs of the American people and addressing the very serious crises that we face, and there is no doubt in my mind that, as we head into November, Hillary Clinton is far and away the best candidate to do that,” he told a raucous crowd in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, that included plenty of vocal Sanders supporters.

group’s chairman said.

The plan by the group could add to security headaches for the Ohio city after last week’s killing of five police officers in Dallas by a U.S. army veteran who had been drawn to black separatist ideology, including on Facebook, before hatching his plan to target white police officers.

Several other groups, including some supporters of presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump, have said they will carry weapons in Cleveland, leading to concerns about rival groups being armed in close proximity.

“If it is an open state to carry, we will exercise our second amendment rights because there are other groups threatening to be there that are threatening to do harm to us,” Hashim Nzinga, chairman of the New Black Panther Party, told Reuters in an interview.

Former Illinois Gov. Blagojevich seeks reduced prison sentence

Federal prosecutors countered, recommending in documents filed just before a midnight Tuesday deadline that Blagojevich serve out his original 14year sentence, of which he has served more than four years.

The motions come ahead of a scheduled resentencing on Aug. 9 before U.S. District Judge James Zagel after an appellate court last year vacated five of Blagojevich’s 18 criminal convictions. Prosecutors declined to retry the ex-governor on the vacated convictions.

Five people suspected of shooting at cops in D.C. arrested Five people suspected of shooting at police officers before barricading themselves inside a vehicle in Washington, D.C., were arrested on Tuesday, police said.

No one was reported injured in the incident, which took place days after five police officers were fatally shot during a demonstration in Dallas to protest at police violence against black men and other minorities.

In the incident in Washington, D.C., officers in marked patrol cars were responding to reports of gunshots just after midnight in the southeast of the city when at least one person inside a parked SUV opened fire on the patrol cars, a spokeswoman with the Metropolitan Police Department said.

people CW releases first look of Wally West as Kid Flash LOS ANGELES — The CW has revealed the first look at star Keiynan Lonsdale’s Wally West in costume as Kid Flash, the hero best known in DC Comics canon as the teen sidekick to The Flash (aka Barry Allen, played by Grant Gustin).

Lonsdale’s Kid Flash will make his first appearance in the Season 3 premiere of “The Flash,” titled “Flashpoint,” which airs Tuesday, Oct. 4 at 8 p.m. on The CW. Last season, Wally’s father, Joe (Jesse L. Martin), was suspicious that Wally might’ve developed powers of his own after being hit with Barry’s energy during an accident at STAR Labs, but Wally displayed no obvious signs of super speed in the aftermath of the explosion.

Of course, that was before Barry chose to go back in time and save his mother, Nora, from being killed by the Reverse-Flash in the Season 2 finale, thereby changing history and disrupting the timeline — which means that we have no way of knowing what the world will look like when Barry returns to his original time, or how Wally will gain his powers.

Director Abbott dies at age 93 LOS ANGELES — Norman Abbott, the nephew of comedian Bud Abbott who directed numerous 1960s and ’70s sitcoms such as “Get Smart” and “The Brady Bunch,” died July 9 in Valencia, Calif. at the age of 93.

Born in New York, Norman Abbott was raised by his mother and his uncle, Bud Abbott, the straight man of the legendary comedy team of Abbott and Costello, as well as his aunt Florence Abbott and uncle Harry Abbott of Barnum & Bailey.

Norman Abbott served in World War II in the original Navy Seals unit, and was encouraged by his uncle to join the family business. He started his five decade career in show business as a radio announcer on “The Colgate Family Hour” and as stage manager on the “I Love Lucy Show.”

Zendaya in talks to join Jackman in Barnum biopic

The project has been in development since 2009 with Jackman attached. The contemporary musical is being produced by Chernin Entertainment, Laurence Mark and Jackman.

Zac Efron and Michelle Williams are also in negotiations for the project. Michael Gracey is attached to direct from Michael Arndt’s script.

Jackman will play the showman with a specialty in hoaxing a gullible public as he creates the three-ring Barnum & Bailey Circus that made him famous.

Judge: Martin Luther King Jr.’s Bible belongs to estate

By David Beasley Reuters

ATLANTA — The Bible that Martin Luther King Jr. carried during the civil rights movement in the 1960s belongs to his estate which voted in 2014 to sell the heirloom against the wishes of his daughter, said a court ruling that could now lead to its sale.

A trial was still scheduled to begin on Aug. 15 to settle the question of who owns the slain

Must read civil rights leader’s 1964 Nobel Peace Prize medal, which the estate also voted to sell, according to court records.

The estate is controlled by King’s three surviving children, Bernice and her two brothers, Dexter and Martin Luther King III. There have been years of legal

disputes among King’s heirs.

King was assassinated in 1968 by a white supremacist in Memphis, Tennessee. The United States marked the 30th anniversary of the U.S. holiday commemorating King in January with speeches, tributes, concerts and parades.

The battle over his possessions plays out as protesters and activists hold marches and rallies across the United States in response to a series of high-profile killings of black men by police, at times

invoking King’s message of peaceful resistance that was the hallmark of his efforts in the 1960s.

In 2014, the estate sued Bernice after she refused to turn over the Bible and medal to the estate after her brothers voted 2-1 to sell both items.

Bernice voted against selling the medal and holy book, calling them “sacred” to her family.

The Bible was used by President Barack Obama during his second inauguration.

Fulton County Superior Court judge Robert McBurney ruled on June 30 that the Bible belongs to the estate but did not rule on the medal, court records show. The ruling was reported in local media on Monday.

On the question of who owns the bible, “there is no genuine issue of material fact,” McBurney wrote. However, ownership of on the Nobel medal “must be resolved by a fact-finder at trial,” the judge wrote.

Multiple myeloma is a type of blood cancer Dear Dr. roaCH: My 72-year-old husband was diagnosed with multiple myeloma recently, and we have been told that he will need chemo treatments. He also has anemia, which I think is probably normal. He had a back injury in early February and a kyphoplasty in May, with a bone biopsy done routinely. After tests, we now have the diagnosis of multiple myeloma. What can be expected from this diagnosis? I understand that he has elevated kappa light chains.

— I.F. anSWer: Multiple myeloma is a type of blood cancer coming from plasma cells, the cells that make antibodies. As in any cancer, the cells reproduce uncontrollably. Damage from the cancer can come from what cancer cells produce or by the fact that they take up necessary space and nutrition from the organs they occupy. In the case of multiple myeloma, the myeloma cells usually secrete immunoglobulins (antibodies, or parts of antibodies). Kappa chains are a component of antibodies (so are lambda chains, the other type of “light” chain protein).

High amounts of myeloma protein can damage the kidneys.

Unfortunately, these antibodies aren’t helpful in fighting off infection, despite the fact that antibodies are an important part of the immune system. In fact, the myeloma cells can grow so much in the bone marrow that they can push aside the cells that normally grow there, including red blood cells (which is why anemia is a common sign), other white blood cells (making infection more likely) and platelets (bleeding can become a problem).

Like many cancers, myeloma can progress from a more benign condition — in this case, monoclonal gammopathy of uncertain significance. Not all people with MGUS progress to myeloma, but the condition needs to be carefully watched. Once it becomes myeloma, treatment, usually chemotherapy, is recommended. Multiple myeloma is a highly variable disease, and its prognosis depends on many factors; some come from blood testing, some from the bone marrow biopsy, and some are based on your husband’s overall health. Your husband’s hematologist/oncologist can give a better estimate of his prognosis based on these factors.

Dr. Roach regrets that he is unable to answer individual letters, but will incorporate them in the column whenever possible. Readers may email questions to ToYourGoodHealth@med.cornell. edu or request an order form of available health newsletters at 628 Virginia Dr., Orlando, FL 32803.

Black sheep faces family’s judgment Dear amy: I grew up thinking that I had an amazing, close-knit family.

I was always a bit of the “black sheep,” in that I was adventurous and didn’t settle down in our sleepy town.

I moved away from my hometown at 18 and after 20 years am still the only member that doesn’t live there.

I worked hard and prioritized my career for many years. This meant that I visited only once a year.

I remained extremely close to my mom, who visited me, and we spoke every day. She was proud of me for “breaking the mold.”

Unfortunately, she passed away a few years ago. Since then, I have learned of the disgust my family has for me.

When I got married last year, I did so within driving distance of my hometown so they would feel included and not have to pay for travel. However, since my husband and I decided to have an adults-only wedding, most of them didn’t even come. Moreover, they let me know how terrible I was for not inviting children.

Since then, only two members of my family even reach out to me by phone.

I’ve heard rumblings of other gossipy, untrue and negative things they say about me. My mother’s

Ask Amy

Amy Dickinson heart would be broken to know her siblings have, for all intents and purposes, cut me out of their lives.

I, too, am heartbroken and want to make an effort to make things better.

I won’t apologize for pursuing my passions or having the wedding we wanted (and paid for, might I add), so I’m not sure what I can do.

I’m hoping you can help suggest a way to repair these relationships. Is it best just to remove myself entirely to protect my heart?

I have one sibling, and we get along fine. Other than that, this is all the family I have left. Thankfully, my husband and his family are wonderful.

— Family Matters Dear Family: The best way to have relationships with people is to spend time with them.

Shared experiences lead to shared memories. These memories help to form a foundation of relatedness.

I agree with you that you should not have to apologize

for having the wedding you wanted to have or for living the life you want to live. You seem to be challenged by aunts, uncles and cousins.

If you want active, healthy relationships, you should reach out to them, try to get to know them without judging them for their own choices, and make an effort to spend time with them.

Perhaps you should bring your husband on a hometown tour. Also — invite them to travel to see you.

Dear amy: I like to let people parent however they see fit, but this past weekend, I went to a music festival and behind me in the crowd was a young woman with a small child.

This kid was stripped down to his diaper and in direct sunlight. He was very sweaty and red. He started to scream and grab his face. From what I understand, this is a sign of overheating.

She eventually moved him into the shade after a nearby elder told her to do so. (I believe they were together).

In that situation, at what point would it be OK for me to step in and suggest the woman take action?

I doubt her actions were malicious, just a case of inexperience.

— Maternal But Not a Mother Dear maternal: Any time you see a child in danger, you should step in an offer to help — or get

help. In this case, someone else did — and that’s a good thing.

Dear amy: Reading the question from “Karma Cursed,” I was reminded of my own past. At the age of 18, I caught my high school girlfriend cheating on me.

I was crushed — utterly destroyed. I was a social hermit for a decade, and when I finally did have the courage to start dating again, I had a few short relationships, but nothing ever felt the same and nothing lasted more than a few months.

About nine years ago, I met someone who makes me happy and with whom I have lived for the last eight years.

I turn 70 in a month, and children are out of the question. I hope Karma Cursed doesn’t wait the half-century I did before allowing herself to be in love again.

— No Longer Lonely Dear no longer lonely: Good for you.

Thank you for sharing your story.

The race narrative In the last week, two African-American men were shot and killed by non-AfricanAmerican police officers in Minnesota and Louisiana and five non-AfricanAmerican police officers were shot and killed in Dallas by an African-American man who declared he “wanted to kill white people, especially white officers.”

The gap in our racially divided country has never been wider.

Immediately, familiar narratives came into play. The narrative for some African-Americans appears to reinforce the belief that racism and discrimination are responsible for whatever difficulties they face. For some whites recent events seem to reinforce the narrative, seen on local news, that African-Americans are violent criminals, welfare cheats or liberal politicians out for themselves instead of others.

Don’t we already Cal have enough to fear Thomas from Islamic terrorists? Must we also fear racial conflict, stoked by groups like Black Lives Matter?

Are we reverting to the ’60s when police officers were often seen as the enemy?

Will some again refer to police officers as “pigs,” fuzz,” “The Man?” Will they have targets on their backs?

Attorney General Loretta Lynch touched on part of the problem in her remarks about the Dallas ambush. She said we must “turn toward each other, not against another.”

We don’t really know each other.

Labels and images have replaced human contact. Social media tends to make the problem worse. Information shared there is often half-true or completely inaccurate. The “hands-up, don’t shoot” narrative that followed the Ferguson, Mo., shooting of Michael Brown is just one example. Despite a thorough investigation that proved Brown did not have his hands up in an act of surrender to a police officer, the false narrative continues, with even members of the Congressional Black Caucus promoting it.

If you are white and reading this, how many African-Americans do you know?

If any, do you know the names of their family members? Have you ever shared a meal with them or invited them to your home? Do you attend church together?

I ask these same questions of AfricanAmericans. Dr. Martin Luther King once said, “…11 o’clock on Sunday morning is the most segregated hour in Christian America.” Why is this? A church congregation should model equality and a common worship experience of the God who made us all and to whom racism is a sin.

I was born in Washington, D.C., at a time when the city was segregated. The only black people I knew growing up were our two maids. I never knew their last names, which I later learned was a practice held over from slavery, a way to denigrate, demean and keep in one’s place.

Later, when I began playing basketball, I met, traveled, showered and ate with African-American teammates. Sport is a great equalizer. It was said that the late congressman and football player Jack Kemp showered with more AfricanAmericans than attend Republican political conventions. He showed up in poor neighborhoods and spoke up for the poor to the embarrassment of many white Republicans. He called himself a “bleeding heart conservative.” Kemp inspired others.

Isn’t inspiration, not accusation, what we need now?

Failed liberal policies, not racism, are mostly responsible for the condition in which poor African-Americans find themselves. Welfare dependency and the narrative that because one is black one will always be discriminated against keep many discouraged and defeated.

There are more African-American politicians today than ever, even in the White House. Why isn’t their narrative inspiring the next generation? I think it’s because if the poor were to become self-sustaining they might not need liberal politicians.

Poor African-Americans are a core Democratic voting bloc, despite receiving little in return from the politicians they help elect.

What is the biggest lie and worst narrative of all? It’s that politicians can deliver economic and social salvation. Hating the police will not affect this narrative nor will it improve anyone’s circumstances.

This year’s travels offer poignant ending Cliff Ramos has made his Travels with Pee Wee road trip adventure into an annual event, one that has now spanned eight years after he and good friend Steve West returned home this weekend. The premise is a simple one — to travel the country with no itinerary and no time constraints, to get off the beaten path and enjoy all the small wonders of the world that you normally pass while speeding down the interstate.

The former Collins Hill High and Greater Atlanta Christian wrestling coach always enjoys the trips, and keeps a journal (and a blog) of the places he visits and the interesting people he meets.

He said this year’s trip was particularly poignant because it occurred during such troubling times in our country.

He and West drove through Baton Rouge the day before Alton Sterling was shot and killed in by police. The two were in Oklahoma, just hours from Dallas when the tragedy unfolded there with five police officers being killed. Ramos said

Another interesting visit occurred in Clovis, N.M., where the two visited the Norman Petty Recording Studio, where Buddy Holly recorded “Peggy Sue.” For their good deed that day, Ramos and West helped move a piano, heavy speakers and other equipment.

But Ramos said his favorite stop was in Pecos, Texas — home to the first-ever rodeo. He said small towns such as that one are what the trip is all about.

“That’s the best part of the trip — getting off the highways, getting into small towns and doing little things and meeting people,” the recent inductee into the Gwinnett County Sports Hall of Fame said. “(Pecos) was just a different world than what we live in. I love going to places where you feel like ‘I’m gone.’

“It felt like we were on a different planet. And I like that.”

Asian-Americans can’t escape the pigeonhole CHICAGO — It has been nearly a year since the Pew Research Center reported that Asian immigrants are elbowing Latin Americans aside and are projected to become the largest immigrant group by 2055. Policy analysis on the implications of this shift is beginning to trickle out.

There are two important issues that Asian-Americans have been trying to call attention to for years: The harm of the “model minority” myth and the invisibility of various Asian subgroups — and their unique needs — when they are all grouped together as an “Asian community.”

Gerard Robinson, an American Enterprise Institute fellow, recently highlighted how the stereotype of Asian students as academic superstars is not only indeed a myth. It also hides real achievement issues for at-risk populations.

This isn’t to say that many Asian students aren’t high achievers. As Robinson wrote in “A Tale of Two Disparity Gaps” on the blog of the Brookings Institution, “White students’ math and writing SAT scores were 64 and 18 points lower than Asians’ in 2015. In fact, the combined SAT score of 1654 for Asians in 2015 saw a 54-point increase since 2006. Whites and others saw a decline during the same time.”

The problem is that not all Asian students are alike.

It seems preposterous to even have to articulate this, but much

cymakers look at the whiteminority achievement gap, poor whites who live in the same type of poverty that stunts the academic growth of poor black and Hispanic students tend to get lost in the shuffle.

Pacific Islander civil rights organizations are advancing a bill that would require California’s public institutions of higher education and public health to collect, analyze and report data for up to 42 subgroups of those three broad categories.

Civil rights groups there know that the disparities among national-origin groups are stark. For example, without more nuanced collection and reporting of subgroup data, differences such as those between older adult Chinese and Vietnamese elders (who have the most chronic health conditions) and Japanese elders (who have the least) may potentially mask the reality that Japanese women are nearly twice as likely to die of cancer as Asian Indian women.

Correspondingly, adding more racial subcategories on nationwide standardized tests and breaking out performance data by subgroup could bring to light the diversity of the young Asian population’s academic successes and struggles.

Ultimately, fully understanding the fastest-growing racial population in the country isn’t some insurmountable dream.

It’s not rocket science, but it does require a societal will to choose to see this collective of Asian ethnic groups as diverse and multifaceted, rather than as homogenous and monolithic.

A post from an unidentified woman is also circulating on Facebook, detailing an alleged encounter with the man in the Town Center area.

“The black male driver blocked my path, got out of the car nude and was coming towards me,” the post said. “Luckily, I ran to a house with a painter outside and stayed with him until the man left.”

Mooney previously said none of the victims have been able to provide a tag number because they tended to be exercising without their cellphones.

about her boys potentially having a run-in with police, especially Quinten, who has attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and struggles with the choices he makes.

Fulton said she regularly discusses news-making headlines involving the police and race with her 14-year-old. At the event, she wanted to familiarize her sons with police officers while encouraging them to have a more realistic perception of law enforcement.

“Bad stuff has always happened with [the police] but in the past, people did not have cell phones to expose it so it could get the attention it deserves,” said Quinten, a rising freshman at Collins Hill High. “And yes, we’ve all seen the bad videos but all police officers are not the same.”

Grease clog sends sewage into Yellow River tributary

By Curt yeomans

curt.yeomans @gwinnettdailypost.com

A grease clog in Lawrenceville caused about 1,854 gallons of sewage to spill into a tributary of the Yellow River on Sunday.

Gwinnett County

Department of Water Resources spokeswoman Karen Shields said the spill happened at a sewer manhole at 2344 Stancrest Lane and it was reported to county officials at 9:23 a.m. The crews got it stopped around 10:45 a.m., she added.

As is typical when a spill happens in Gwinnett County, the crews raked the area around the spill, spread lime and posted signs in the area to let residents know what happened while officials contacted the Georgia Environmental Protection Division.

Water resources officials told the Daily Post earlier this year that grease clogs cause about 40 percent of all sewage spills that occur in the county. When grease is poured down the drain at a home or business, it goes with all other waste and used water into

a gravity sewer main that carries it to the county’s waste water facilities for treatment.

Officials have previously said grease solidifies and can become as hard as concrete in sewer lines.

Residents are encouraged to pour used grease into

a container, wait for it to solidify and then throw it out with their trash.

Shields said residents who want more tips on how to reduce the amount of fats, oil and grease going down their drains can visit www.unclogthefog. com.

$1.1M Ronald Reagan Park renovations done

By Curt yeomans

curt.yeomans @gwinnettdailypost.com

Gwinnett County officials are hoping residents will look at the recently completed renovations at Ronald Reagan Park and say, yes, the park is better off than it was before.

On Tuesday, the county announced the end of the $1.1 million renovations, which were jointly funded by the 2014 SPLOST and a grant from the Land and Water Conservation Fund.

The 25-acre park, located at 2777 Five Forks Trickum Road in Lawrenceville, includes a dog park, The playground at Ronald Reagan Park is shown in this photo. Gwinnett County announced Tuesday that it has finished a $1.1 million renovation of the park.

horseshoe pits, pavilions, a multi-use trail and courts for shuffleboard, bocce ball and basketball.

“The 11-year-old park named after the 40th president has gotten a new facelift,” officials said in a statement.

The county said renovation work included the construction of a “gabion wall at stream,” a reconfiguration of the dog park that included storm drainage improvements, erosion control work, landscaping, reforestation, the rebuilding of footbridges and railings and a complete overhaul of the reconstructed skate park.

Atwater addressed issues of race with the team in an open forum. The discussion dealt with treating people with respect.

PRESS RELEASE ANNOUNCING A PROPOSED PROPERTY TAX INCREASE

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

The budget to be tentatively adopted by the City of Buford Board of Commissioners requires a millage rate higher than the rollback millage rate, therefore, before the City of Buford Board of Commissioners may finalize the tentative budget and set a final millage rate, Georgia law requires three public hearings to be held to allow the public an opportunity to express their opinions on the increase.

All concerned citizens are invited to the public hearings on this tax increase to be held at the Buford City Hall, 2300 Buford Hwy, Buford, GA 30518, on July 21, 2016 at 4:00 PM and on August 1, 2016 at 10:00 AM and also at 7:00 PM. 429033-1

All concerned citizens are invited to the public hearings on this tax increase to be held at Buford City Hall, 2300 Buford Hwy, Buford, GA 30518, on July 21, 2016 at 4:00 pm.

Times and places of additional public hearings on this tax increase are at Buford City Hall, 2300 Buford Hwy, Buford, GA 30518 on August 1, 2016 at 10:00 am and 7:00 pm.

This tentative increase will result in a millage rate of 12.850 mills, an increase of .593 mills. Without this tentative tax increase, the millage rate will be no more than 12.257 mills. The proposed tax increase for a home with a fair market value of $175,000 is approximately $41.51 and the proposed tax increase for non-homestead property with a fair market value of $550,000 is approximately $130.46.

we thought maybe this was something we could take from — particularly dealing with times now,” Atwater said.

He reflected on and offered condolences to those affected by the fatal shootings of five Dallas officers Thursday.

Atwater reconsidered Reeves visiting the SWAT team when he remembered what Dallas leaders said following the incident, “Words matter and leadership matters.”

One message that stuck with Atwater was how Reeves said that in football, teams should always have contingency plans and think ahead.

After coaching about 12 years, Reeves said he developed a strategy to allow his players be part of the planning process and give them ownership.

When Reeves implemented it, his teams excelled.

Atwater said SWAT leadership will continue to include the team on training and development plans and he commended the members for their work.

“The guys that are on this team are phenomenal,” he said. “They have the right temperament to deal with what’s going on today. They should be applauded for the fact that they’re operating appropriately.”

“We’ve had times when the commitment that it takes for SWAT officers to be proficient doesn’t mix with family,” Atwater said.

“But oftentimes, they have to take a leave of absence to put family first.”

Atwater said the team had nothing but positive things to say about Reeves.

Initially, Atwater was hesitant for the coach to speak because he was unsure football experiences would relate to law enforcement. But Atwater took into account Reeves’ background and what has been going on across the country.

LILBURN — After three public hearings and by a unanimous 3-0 decision, the Lilburn City Council on Monday agreed to allow the tax millage rate for real and personal property to stay the same for the 2016-17 fiscal year.

Last month, the Council approved its annual $8.1 million budget, which included a sanitation fee of $13.12 per month for each property owner.

In other business, the Council: • Unanimously turned down the appeal of Mohammed Moshin, owner of the Lilburn Exxon, for selling alcohol during a 30-day suspension. The Alcohol Review Board had imposed the suspension for selling alcohol to a minor. Mayor Pro Tem Tim Dunn said the suspension was made in lieu of revocation of the liquor license, and would run from July 18 to Aug. 16.

Discovery will also have a new head coach this fall as Efrem Hill has been elevated from assistant coach after Frank Hepler left the school in January to become the head coach at Forsyth Central.

“We’re building off last year,” Hill said. “Coach (Hepler) did a great job.

So we’re still just building. Just teaching them football. Helping them learn foot-

In Brief Gwinnett trio selected for USA Baseball 12U National Open roster Three youth baseball players from Georgia — all from Gwinnett County — were among the 112 players nationwide selected to participate in the Third Annual USA Baseball 12U National Open, the organization announced Tuesday.

Cade Brown, a rising fifth-grade catcher from Lilburn, Wyatt Fooks, a rising seventh-grade right-handed pitcher/infielder from Dacula, and Dylan Wittke, a rising seventh-grade infielder/right-handed pitcher from Lawrenceville, were all among those selected to take part in the four-day event at the MLB Urban Youth Academy in Compton, Calif., from July 18-20.

National Open participants will showcase their talent in front of USA Baseball national team coaches and staff. Athletes will participate in a series of athletic evaluations, skill testing, and four exhibition games as part of the official selection process for the 2016 12U National Team.

Brown, Fooks and Wittke, along with the rest of the invitees, will attempt to become one of 14 players selected to join 18 previously-selected players to take part in the USA Baseball 12U National Team trials. The final team roster is expected to be announced July 23.

Lloyd, Rapinoe head up U.S. women’s Olympics soccer squad The U.S. women’s national team announced its roster of 18 players for the Summer Olympics on Tuesday as it attempts to become the first women’s team to win the Women’s World Cup and an Olympic title in consecutive years.

The U.S. Olympic squad includes 10 of the 11 starters from its World Cup squad, although the roster is slightly younger than past American squads.

Among the players chosen was Megan Rapinoe, who made a quick recovery from a major knee injury. Also, midfielder Carli Lloyd, who won both the Golden Ball as the World Cup’s outstanding player and FIFA Player of the Year in 2015, is on the roster. She scored goals in both the 2008 and 2012 Olympics when the U.S. won gold medals.

The U.S. opens Olympic group play against New Zealand on Aug. 3.

Here is the U.S. Olympic team roster, grouped by position with the player’s pro affiliation in parentheses: Goalkeepers: Alyssa Naeher (Chicago Red Stars), Hope Solo (Seattle Reign FC).

Defenders: Whitney Engen (Boston Breakers), Julie Johnston (Chicago Red Stars), Meghan Klingenberg (Portland Thorns FC), Ali Krieger (Washington Spirit), Kelley O’Hara (Sky Blue FC), Becky Sauerbrunn (FC Kansas City).

Midfielders: Morgan Brian (Houston Dash), Tobin Heath (Portland Thorns FC), Lindsey Horan (Portland Thorns FC), Carli Lloyd (Houston Dash), Allie Long (Portland Thorns FC), Megan Rapinoe (Seattle Reign FC).

Forwards: Crystal Dunn (Washington Spirit), Alex Morgan (Orlando Pride), Christen Press (Chicago Red Stars), Mallory Pugh (Real Colorado) “The last few camps capped a nine-month evaluation process and the players certainly made it a real challenge to narrow the roster down to 18,” U.S. head coach Jill Ellis said. “We’ve got a great blend of players with experience at the Olympic Games and in major events along with the youthful energy of some players who did not play in the Women’s World Cup last summer.”

Lynx roll to easy win behind Moore’s masterful performance Collins Hill grad Maya Moore scored 24 points, pulled down seven rebounds and distributed seven assists to lead the Minnesota Lynx to an easy 81-57 victory over the San Antonio Stars on Tuesday afternoon at the AT&T Center in San Antonio.

Moore also recorded three of the Lynx’s four blocked shots and did not commit a turnover in an allaround virtuoso performance.

Races can help in healing process

By Don Coble

Staff Correspondent

Race teams proudly displayed a black and blue sticker on every car last Saturday at the Kentucky Speedway to honor the five Dallas-area police officers who were ambushed after a downtown rally.

A week earlier, cars had a tribute decal “#ORLANDO UNITED” to show respect for the 49 people killed by a terrorist in an Orlando nightclub.

While nobody in NASCAR believes driving at 200 mph can make a difference in solving some of the nation’s social problems, it understands it plays a role, however insignificant, in the healing process.

Events like racing can offer an escape of the grief that comes with any tragedy, Kevin Harvick said.

Even if for only a moment, the haunting pain of death, hate and destruction can be temporarily replaced by the ear-shattering roar of engines at full speed.

“You are definitely in a role to try to make people happy,” Harvick said. “This is definitely a distraction for a lot of people to get their minds off of things that have been affected, or not affected, or worried about something.

It’s definitely something that we can play a big role in being positive impacts on a lot of people’s lives.”

NASCAR has a long history of showing reverence in the wake of tragedies. With the exception of the Sept. 16, 2001, race scheduled for the New Hampshire Motor Speedway five days following the terrorist attacks in New York City, Arlington, Va.,

Dillon: Not easy racing with family on sidelines With grandfather Richard Childress owning the team and his father, Mike Dillon, working as the team’s vice president of competition, Austin Dillon has unparalleled job security.

But with that comes an equal amount of pressure to keep everyone happy.

Dillon not only has to take direction from crew chief Richard “Slugger” Labbe, he also has his grandfather and father talking to him on the two-way radio during races.

“I drive for my family, so there is a lot of ties there that people that drive in this garage don’t understand as far as, it’s not just as easy as getting in the car and driving and focusing on that and not

We have taken a lot of those things out, but it’s still hard because when we go home we are really focused on that. It’s not just driving it’s our whole organization as a family.”

The 26-year-old driver appreciates their confidence and guidance, but he admits it can be overwhelming.

“My grandfather does a great job. My dad though, when it’s a tough situation I go to him because I know he is going to give me honest things it’s just sometimes the approach isn’t always right,” Austin Dillon said.

BRITISH OPEN Thursday through Sunday • Troon, Scotland

By Stan Awtrey Staff Correspondent

Man on a mission Spieth craves Claret Jug and third leg of grand slam Reuters TROON, Scotland — Double major winner Jordan Spieth had a brief moment cradling the coveted Claret Jug 12 months ago and is longing to make his mantelpiece a permanent home for the trophy handed to the British Open champion.

A maiden victory in golf’s oldest major this week would also send the 22-year-old one step closer to achieving a career grand slam.

“This is a very special tournament,” Spieth told a news conference on Tuesday.

“The Claret Jug is something I’ve held in my hands, I was with (fellow American) Zach Johnson the night he won it last year.

“I crave to have that trophy in my possession at some point and to reach a third leg of the grand slam this week would be a fantastic achievement and a lifelong goal.”

Spieth arrived at the Open 12 months ago riding a crest

of a wave, having bagged his first major titles at the preceding U.S. Masters and U.S. Open.

However, anyone looking to gamble a wager on him with the bookmakers this week may choose to think again.

“At this present moment I’ll be brutally honest, it’s not the same feeling I had when I was getting ready for the British Open last year,” said the world No. 3.

“I believe in my ability that if I’m in contention, that I can bring my best stuff and take home the trophy.

“I’m a little hesitant from tee to green versus last year. I had just come off a win at the John Deere Classic and was striking the ball great,” said Spieth.

“I feel like I’ve got to do a little more work throughout my swing to get it compact and ready for this style of (links) golf.”

The last six Open winners at Troon have been American, and two of them — Justin

Leonard and Todd Hamilton — have strong Texan connections.

“There’s so much added pressure off that. I don’t know how I’m going to hit a shot this week,” joked Spieth before adopting a more serious tone.

“I don’t think it impacts you but it’s very cool to walk through the halls of the clubhouse to see that. Just as it is at any of the these fantastic old timeless clubhouses over here.

“You see so much history as you walk through. I did a lot of that on Saturday and Sunday. It’s something I really enjoy doing around here because we don’t have that kind of history in the States.”

As for the Olympics, Spieth cited health concerns as the reason he decided not to participate saying it was one of the hardest decisions he’s ever had to make.

“This was something I very much struggled with,” Spieth told reporters Tuesday at Roy-

al Troon in Scotland, site of the 145th Open Championship which begins Thursday. “I bounced back and forth with it, and ultimately a decision had to be made (Monday), and so I made it.”

The 22-year-old American said the Zika virus wasn’t the only health issue that impacted his decision to become the 18th player to turn down the trip to Rio, where golf will be played in the Olympics for the first time since 1904.

The world’s third-ranked golfer joins a list which includes top-ranked Jason Day of Australia, secondranked Dustin Johnson and fourth-ranked Rory McIlroy of Northern Ireland, among others, of players skipping the Rio games.

Spieth noted he will not participate in the John Deere Classic, which coincides with the Olympics on Aug. 11-14, saying he doesn’t think it’s an “appropriate move” to play that week. Spieth won the Classic last year.

Recent Greater Atlanta Christian graduate Ben Shipp is trying to take a nice trophy with him when he heads to Raleigh later this summer.

The Duluth native and N.C. State signee shot a 4-under 66 on Tuesday in the first round of the centennial Georgia Amateur Championship, good for a share of fourth place. Shipp shot 32 on the front nine and 34 on the back, with the only hiccup coming with a bogey on the 14th hole.

Steven Fisk of Stockbridge sits atop the leaderboard after a 7-under 63.

Shipp is one shot Ben behind Chris Waters Shipp of Atlanta and Spencer Ralston of Gainesville, who opened by shooting 5-under 65s.

Waters is the reigning Atlanta Match Play champion and former U.S. Amateur qualifier. The 29-year-old senior audit associate at KPMG came out of the morning session. Waters had six birdies and one bogey on his round.

Ralston is a recent graduate of Gainesville High School who will play for the University of Georgia this fall.

He had the lowest score in the afternoon round. Ralston had five birdies and no bogeys on his card.

The field will play a second round of stroke play today, with the low 32 players earning a spot in the match-play portion of the championship that begins on Friday at the Brookhaven Course.

It is likely going to take a 36-hole around even-par to enable a player to reach match play. There were 43 players who shot even-par 70 or better on the first day.

The group tied for eighth at 2-under 68 includes Josh Klipstein, a Norcross native who played at Georgia College.

Klipstein is making the most of his opportunity; he got in the tournament as an alternate.

Among those tied for 15th at 1-under are Charles Huntzinger of Duluth, Trey Pearson of Dacula and S.M. Lee of Buford. Georgia Mid-Amateur Champion John Engler of Augusta, the reigning Georgia Mid-Amateur Champion, is also among the 14 knotted at 69.

Robert Mize, the 2014 champion, began with a 2-under 68 and defending champion Dru Love of Sea Island opened with a 69.

Willett learned from last year’s near miss Collins Hill’s

By Larry King Reuters

TROON, Scotland — Danny Willett comes to Royal Troon as both a major championship winner and one of last year’s British Open championship contenders, and that is not a coincidence.

Willet was within a shot of the lead in the second round of the Open at St Andrews.

He fell back a bit in the third round, but he was still doing well enough to be paired with Zach Johnson, the eventual winner, in the final round, and watching Johnson was instructive.

“The one thing that’s impressive about Zach is Zach never changes the game plan for anyone, any golf course.

Regardless who he’s playing against, he just does his own thing,” Willett said Tuesday.

Nine months later, Willett was patiently creeping up on Jordan Spieth in the final round of the Masters. And

then Spieth rapidly came back to meet him, throwing away a five-shot lead. Willett applied the lesson he had learned from Johnson.

“You’re not going to do anything different,” he said. “The reason you’re in that position is because you’re a very good player and you can do what you can do, and hopefully on a Sunday afternoon it’s good enough.”

It was good enough to bring him his first major. It’s something of a cliche that winning the first major is the hardest, that they come easier once you know how. Willett is not sure that’s true, at least not for him this year.

“If anything, (it’s) probably a bit tougher, because you know you’ve done it and played well and competed and won against the best guys,” he said. “It’s a tough one now to

make sure that you get back to the place where you were before you actually won and try not to have too much expectation on yourself every day.

“Otherwise, it’s a pretty lonely game when things aren’t going your way, and you struggle a little bit, because all you have to do is be reminiscing about how well you played a few months ago.”

He also comes into Troon as the most recent Englishman to win a major and to contend at a British Open. That may well be an advantage when he tees off two days from now.

“Being British, this is the one you want to get your hands on,” he said. “To be able to come here as a major champion and get the crowds with us, obviously would be fantastic Thursday morning.

Yeah, it will be really, really special.”

Bayer wins GPGA event From Staff Reports

DULUTH — Jacob Bayer fired a 7-under par 65 to win the Seventh Annual Championship at Berkeley Hills on Wednesday at Berkeley Hills Country Club.

Bayer’s big round gave him a two-day total of 10-under 144, two shots ahead of eight-time Georgia PGA Player of the Year Tim Weinhart, in claiming his first career win in a Georgia Section PGA event.

The rising Collins Hill senior was a first-team Daily Post All-County selection as a junior this spring and verbally committed to play college golf at Western Kentucky.

Bayer overcame a four-shot deficit heading into the final round to win the tournament, making it four straight years an amateur as won.

ing to keep it in the school’s new field house.

On the course Meadowcreek came away victorious, as head coach Jason Carrera and his assistants shot 12-under with their handicaps added. The Mustangs beat out groups from 20 of the 24 high schools, sponsors and a few Sports Medicine South employees.

“It’s a great first class event,” said Carrera, who also won a trio of outdoors excursions. “It’s a lot of fun. My assistants look

forward to it. Everybody just looks forward to it so everybody just comes out and has a great time. It’s good to be in this fraternity of coaches that’s second to none. Anybody who asks me about being in Gwinnett County, I always talk about how good the fraternity of coaches is and how well they all treat each other.

the corner, the tournament also raises money for the $1,000 Linda Jones scholarships handed out to each school in December at the Rivalries of Gwinnett AllStar game. In total, Sports Medicine South has now given away over $100,000 in scholarships to local football players according to founder Dr. Gary Levengood.

The golf outing also gives younger coaches like new Discovery head coach Efrem Hill a chance to get to know the counties

other coaches a little better outside of football.

“I think it’s a great opportunity,” he said. “They put on a great golfing tournament. I don’t think anybody else in the state does it like Gwinnett does it. It’s a great opportunity for me to get out and talk to some guys. Especially for me to meet some of the coaches who probably have been doing it as long as I’ve been living. It’s just a great opportunity to get out here and fellowship with other coaches.”

Court documents: Smart building program, not team Paterno ignored abuse claims in ’76 UGA NOTES

we worked out today at 6 a.m.”

By Paul Thomas

paul.thomas@ gwinnettdailypost.com

HOOVER, Ala. — For the last nine seasons Georgia head coach Kirby Smart was a member of Nick Saban’s staff at Alabama.

The last seven of which he was the Crimson Tide’s defensive coordinator. In total he spent 11 years on Saban’s coaching staffs, also working with him at the Miami Dolphins and LSU. At SEC Media Days at the Wynfrey Hotel on Tuesday, Smart said the biggest lesson he took from Saban was learning the difference between a team and a program.

“That’s where I want to put my stamp on the University of Georgia, is the difference between a team and program,” he said. “A team is a group of young men playing together. The program is the entirety of that, what goes into that, how do we support these student-athletes off the field, what things can we give them from a nutrition standpoint, strength and development, their wellness, psychological development, everything we can do for the team and for the entire program is the stamp that I’d like to put on it.

“The trademark for us is going to be big, physical,

fast football team. We’re not there yet, but we’re certainly moving that direction. That’s the stamp I would like to put on it.”

The way Smart has gone about putting that stamp on the program is through the strength and conditioning program.

He brought in Scott Sinclair from Marshall and said he’s been thrilled with how he’s worked with the players in the weight room.

“Our student-athletes in Georgia have responded well to the new expectations,” Smart said. “We’ve driven them in the weight room. We have a mantra now of Attack Today, ATD. And they’ve done that every day, day in and day out. These kids have come to work, and they’ve worked hard in the weight room. They’ve responded well to Coach Sinclair’s

staff and our coaching staff being in there.”

Early morning workout With the trio of Jeb Blazevich, Brandon Kublanow and Dominick Sanders joining Smart in Hoover on Tuesday for SEC Media Day, they weren’t in Athens for the team’s afternoon workout.

Kublanow, a senior center from Walton High School, organized a workout for the three of them at 6 a.m. prior to their flight to Alabama. It was a 45-minute workout that featured mostly cardio.

“I didn’t want to miss a day,” he said. “I know my teammates are going to be out there working today and we’ll probably miss it, so I didn’t want them to feel like we’re getting the day off just because we get to go to this so I made sure

Recruiting relationships At Alabama Smart had the reputation of being an ace recruiter for the Crimson Tide.

Both Sanders and Kublanow said that Smart recruited them in high school when he was at Alabama.

Those prior relationships have made it easier for the former Bulldog to take over the program at his alma mater he said.

“The transition and familiarity for me with our team is different than most new coaching jobs,” he said. “A lot of these players I knew through recruiting. I’ve actually been in a lot of their homes through recruiting. I had a good feel for recruiting. I’ve also been in the conference knowing these guys. In saying that, earning their trust is a different factor.

“I really think, in order to push kids and coach kids the way we want to coach them, we’ve got to have their trust. It takes quality time, it takes being truly invested in them as a person to earn that trust, and our staff has made that a top priority to spend that quality time with our players so we can have their trust and make great demands on them to be great student-athletes at the University of Georgia.”

“We’re going to play “And a lot of this decithe best player that gives sion — I know a lot of us the best opportunity to coaches in the SEC are win football games,” Smart going through this. I’ve sat said. “And I don’t know through a lot of meetings who that is. If I knew, I the last few years at Unipromise you, I would tell versity of Alabama making you. I would give you the that same decision. I think •From Page 1B

a lot of that is how he, that person, affects the rest of the offense. Does he make every player on the offense better? That’s hard to measure. You know, that’s a decision you got to make subjectively as a coach.

(Offensive coordinator Jim) Chaney and I will sit down and we’ll make that decision hopefully sooner than later.”

On the defensive side of the ball, Smart said he feels good about the unit

overall, but he is concerned about the lack of depth on the defensive line. Trent Thompson is the lone returning starter.

“We have six returning starters on defense,” Smart said. “The biggest concern for me and our team is the defensive line. We have to do a great job there and stay injury free. We have to develop the guys on campus. If those guys get better, we’ll have good depth there.”

Swim •From Page 1B Janzen said. “Last year we tied two (regular season) meets and lost all the rest, but I like them to have fun.

If they’re not having fun, they aren’t going to come back (next summer).

“But this was very unexpected.

I knew Lansmoore was going to be tough. Lansmoore was amazing this year. … Our kids just all swam incredibly well. A lot of them had their best times and moved up (in the final results).”

While Daniel Park scored a good number of team points across the board, the team’s 11-12 age group swimmers were particularly strong, especially in the girls division.

Jessica Parrish was the highest scorer of that group, placing first in the 50-yard backstroke (29.01), 50 freestyle (25.11) and 100 individual medley (1:04.37), while teaming with Nikoletta Holt, Naa-Kwaley Quartey and Mia Walters to win both age-group relay events. Parrish’s IM win led a major Daniel Park domination of the event, with Walters finishing as runner-up to Parrish, while Holt placed fourth.

Meanwhile Walters won the 50 butterfly and 100 free and Holt took the 50 breaststroke to add further to the Twisters’ totals in the 11-12 girls division.

The 11-12 boys also were strong for Daniel Park, led by Benjamin Irwin, who won individual titles in the 50 fly and 50 back.

other age groups, with Heidi Privett (first, 25 breaststroke) leading the way in the 8-and-under girls division and Caroline Irwin (first in 50 back and 50 fly) and relay teammates Hannah Doglod, Sofia Garcia, Isabelle Andrews and Kathryn Guynes helping pile up points in the 13-14 girls division.

While Lansmoore couldn’t catch the Twisters, the Lasers did capture the runner-up trophy behind a record-setting performance from their 13-14 boys 200 medley relay team of Adhith Pisipati, Shwan Ahn, Evan McInerny and Devin Crosby, who set a new age group meet mark with their winning time of 1:45.41.

The Duluth Thunderbolts wound up third in the team standings with 1,367.5 points, while Chateau Elan

(1,337.5) and MorningView (1,226) rounded out the top five.

Individually, Flowers Crossing’s Alexander Taylor and Charlie Stout of the Youth Swimming team each set two new meet and age-group records.

Taylor’s new marks came in the 50 back (23.45) and 100 IM (50.86) in the 15-18 boys division, while Stout established new standards in the 100 free (52.39) and 50 breast (31.09) in the 11-12 boys division.

Cedar Creek’s Matthew Scalzi, Chateau Elan’s Katherine Parker, Peachtree Corners/North Manor’s Eric Strickland, Hamilton Mill’s Jake Magahey, Peachtree Station’s Jacob Bunditz, MorningView’s Jared Clance and North Forke’s Hailey Dopson each set one new meet record in their respective age groups.

SEC •From Page 1B spokesperson for our program and coaching staff.

We all know he’s an extremely talented and very gifted running back. He’s been one of our leaders, and it’s been great to see.

He’s a big part of what we built at Tennessee, and we expect him to have a great year for us.”

Mullen addresses Jeffery Simmons Dan Mullen knew it would be the elephant in the room for him at SEC Media Days.

Mississippi State elected to admit five-star defensive end signee Jeffery Simmons, who is facing misdemeanor assault charges stemming from a March arrest following a video that showed him allegedly beating a woman in an altercation in Macon, Miss.

Simmons was admitted to MSU, and the university announced he would be suspended just for the season opener.

Mullen did say that as the head coach he is responsible for all of his players’ actions, but said he wasn’t involved in determining what the punishment would be for the arrest.

“I wasn’t involved as much,” he said. “It was a university decision, but I was just thrilled that we’re having Jeffery as part of our family coming in. As I said, I take a lot of pride as a coach on developing young men to be champions, not just on the field,

off the field, and every part of their life to be successful in whatever it is they do, and that’s not an easy process.

“I think everyone loves — coaches, we get judged a lot on a 60-minute game on Saturday, but our real job goes well beyond that.

It goes — we have four to five years to make a positive impact on young people’s lives. And hopefully they leave better men in our program than when they came and they can go out and have successful lives and be a successful part of — successful in their futures and make positive impacts in their communities.”

Sumlin happy with Knight at QB With loss of quarterbacks Kyler Murray and Kyle Allen to transfers in the offseason, Texas A&M head coach Kevin Sumlin was in need of a quarterback.

Luckily for him Trevor Knight was available as a graduate transfer from Oklahoma and the match was a win-win. Knight started 15 games at Oklahoma before transferring in the spring and being named the Aggies’ starter.

“He’s done a great job through the spring,” Sumlin said. “He’s done a great job kind of leading the seven-on-sevens and the player-led sessions this summer. And then because of his experiences, I think the conversation piece, the coaching piece, the film study piece, that just comes natural to him.”

He’s already discovered a thing or two he’ll do differently next summer, he said, but he’s been encouraged by the number of kids who have shown up to put in work in the weight room this year.

“It’s been going well,” he said. “The kids show up every day. That’s the No. 1 priority, they come every morning at 7:45 a.m. ready to go. Eyes wide open.

It’s going well. We average about 105 to 110 kids every day. It’s going great.

They come out with a great attitude, ready to work.

That’s really all we can ask for.”

WEDNESDAY, JULY 13, 2016 • 5B

Spurs star Duncan retires after 19 seasons The Sports Xchange San Antonio Spurs legend Tim Duncan is calling it a career after 19 seasons and five NBA championships.

Duncan’s announcement Monday marks the end of an era for the Spurs. The 6-foot-11 power forward superstar also won two MVP awards, was a threetime NBA Finals MVP, made 15 All-Star appearances and was named to the All-NBA First Team 10 times in his career. He also made the NBA All-Defensive First Team eight times.

“Tim Duncan is one of the most dominant players in NBA history. His devotion to excellence and mastery of the game led to five NBA championships, two regular-season MVP awards and a place among the all-time greats, while his understated selflessness made him the ultimate teammate,” NBA commissioner Adam Silver said.

“For two decades Tim represented the Spurs, the city of San Antonio and the league with passion and class. All of us in the NBA family thank him for his profound impact on the game.”

Duncan, who turned 40 in April, was the No. 1 overall pick out of Wake Forest in 1997.

“Timmy D you know how I feel about you, what you did for me and for the entire NBA. Thank you for an amazing career! #BestPFEver #Legend” LeBron James? tweeted Monday evening.

Duncan, teaming with head coach Gregg Popovich and Tony Parker and Manu Ginobili, was the

backbone for the franchise’s championship run.

Ginobili wrote on Twitter: “Even tho I knew it was coming, I’m still moved by the news. What a HUGE honor to have played with him for 14 seasons! #ThankYouTD.” The Spurs tweeted: “#ThankYouTD, for everything.”

Duncan spent his entire career with the Spurs, leading the team to titles in 1999, 2003, 2006, 2007 and 2014.

The Spurs posted a 1,072-438 regular-season record since drafting Duncan — the best 19-year stretch in NBA history.

“More cutthroat than people give him credit for,” Los Angeles Lakers legend Kobe Bryant, who also retired after the 201516 season, told ESPN’s Marc Stein on Monday upon learning of Duncan’s retirement. “I loved everything about him on the court.”

Shaquille O’Neal told ESPN: “Greatest power forward of all time. Unbreakable power forward.

No ‘bow could break him.

No loss of a championship could break him. Nothing could break him.”

Duncan’s final game was a 113-99 loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder in Game 6 of the Western Conference semifinals on May 12. In his career finale, he scored 19 points, with five rebounds and a block in 34 minutes.

Duncan finished his career with averages of 19.0 points, 10.8 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 2.2 blocks per game. He ranks 14th all-time in points (26,496), sixth in rebounds (15,091) and fifth in blocks (3,020).

Last season, Duncan was hobbled by a sore right knee and played in only 61 games, averaging 8.6 points and 7.3 rebounds.

Popovich will discuss Duncan’s retirement decision at a news conference

Tuesday. Duncan and Popovich have the most wins by a player-coach duo in NBA history (1,001).

“Timmy’s never been a very outspoken or emoting sort of individual on the court,” Popovich said earlier this year. “Everybody does it differently.”

Golden State Warriors coach Steve Kerr, who played with Duncan for four seasons, said it will not be the same without Duncan on the court.

“When you think of a Spurs game, you think of the opening tip and Timmy cradling the ball and looking down at Pop and Manu and Tony,” Kerr told ESPN. “The four of them really kind of define who they are. But Tim is the main guy obviously.

“They’ll still be the Spurs based on what they’ve built. And maybe that’s Timmy’s lasting legacy. He helped build something so strong that’s still going after he leaves.”
