Cops: Teens raped South student in woods Incident allegedly recorded, photos posted on social media

By Joshua Sharpe

Snellville investigators believe a 16-year-old South Gwinnett High student was sexually assaulted by classmates on film last month, the police department confirmed.

The incident allegedly happened May 4 in some woods near the school, during school hours, when the group was using drugs, police said Monday. The girl is believed to have passed out and didn’t suspect anything happened to her until “photos started popping up on social media outlets,”

Capt. Carey Roberts said.

“We did an investigation and concluded that she had been sexually assaulted by what appeared to be multiple individuals while she was passed out under the influence of drugs,” the captain said.

Webb Gin project gets pushback

Couch Middle School student Jayla Mason cried Tuesday night as she pleaded with the attorney for a developer who wants to build a combined 499 apartments, homes and town homes on Webb Gin House Road.

Mason, who will be in the eighth grade next year, begged Lee Tucker to get his client to drop the project, asserting it would reduce the quality of the education she receives in the Grayson cluster. She said she feared an influx of new students who live in the development will lead to her being redistricted out of her assigned school cluster.

“This is ridiculous,” Mason told Tucker. “This is going to affect my education. I want to get all A’s, and then you bring all of these other people in. That’s going to put me out, and I’m not going to get the education I need. I want my education. If you’re

Flag Day commemorates the day the United States adopted its flag on June 14, 1777, by the Second Continental Congress.

For most citizens, the day passes by as any normal day.

For Troop 533 and the Buford American Legion Post 127, they celebrated with a fire and

flag ceremony.

Noah Phillips, a 17-yearold of the Sugar Hill troop, organized and led the event for his Eagle Rank, which requires a project that displays an ample amount of leadership.

“I am leading the entire

event,” Phillips said. “I am doing the commands and calls and leading the Flag Ceremony. I have been organizing this for a couple of weeks now.”

After talking with his troop leader James Eaton and noticing a flag hanging on the shelf, Phillips began planning the Flag Ceremony, which took place at the Buford American Legion.

“The ceremony consists of

a color guard with six people that will deem one flag unfit for use,” Phillips explained.

“We call it ‘unserviceable.’ The spectators, veterans and people attending will then be able to retire flags as well, so we have it set up where everyone gets a chance to retire a flag.”

By retiring, Phillips means folding and setting the flags See flag, Page 6A

We should declare war on terrorists Credit President Obama for finally using the words he has desperately tried to avoid during his presidency.

He correctly called the mass shooting in an Orlando gay nightclub Sunday morning, which killed 49 and injured 53, “an act of terror.” It was, writes The New York Times, the “deadliest attack on a gay target in the nation’s history.”

Cal Discredit to Thomas the president for avoiding linking the attack to ISIS and Islamic terrorism, even though the shooter, Omar Mateen, reportedly called 911 during the rampage and “pledged loyalty to the Islamic State.” Jihadists everywhere quickly celebrated the carnage on the Internet and, reports israelnationalnews.com, “…the alAmaq agency — which functions as ISIS’s propaganda and media wing — claimed that ‘the attack … was carried out by an Islamic State fighter.’”

The president used the tragedy to make another pitch for stronger gun laws. Does he believe that someone who claims to be on a mission from Allah would not be able to obtain guns and explosives illegally?

Mateen had been on the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s radar in 2013 and 2014, but reports The Daily Beast, the FBI “subsequently closed the case when it produced nothing that appeared to warrant further investigation.” NBC News learned that Mateen traveled twice to Saudi Arabia, in 2011 and 2012, “to perform a pilgrimage to Mecca,” according to a spokesman for Saudi Arabia’s Ministry of the Interior.

Once again, we are reactive rather than proactive.

The pattern following these terrorist attacks is now familiar. First comes extreme caution in which we say very little and refuse even to speculate about what seems obvious, followed after the fact — as in the Fort Hood shooting, which was dubbed “workplace violence” — by an attempt to quickly change the subject. Next comes the obligatory news conference in which a quickly produced imam or “expert,” speaking for the Muslim community, is trotted out to say that the latest incident has nothing to do with Islam, which is a peaceful religion, and that we should all embrace unity.

Omar Mateen’s father, Seddique Mateen, initially claimed there was no religious motivation behind the killings, but The Washington Post reported the father “is an Afghan man who holds strong political views, including support for the Afghan Taliban.”

Muhammad Musri joined law enforcement officers at the news conference in Orlando. He is connected to the Islamic Society of Central Florida, which is connected to the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA), an Islamic umbrella organization that some believe has ties to terrorist groups.

Muhammad Musri’s mosque was even used for a fundraiser that collected $55,000 for Hamas. There is also a 2011 video of Musri in which he blames the United States for Sept. 11.

People like Omar Mateen are not so much “lone wolves” as “known wolves.” But before law enforcement can legally act, it’s often too late.

In wartime, certain liberties have been suspended in order to protect the country. This may be one of those times. Or should we wait until our enemies obtain a weapon of mass destruction?

Congress should declare war on all terrorist groups. Websites that promote ideologies that encourage terrorist acts should be shut down. No more mosques should be built in the U.S. until we gain an upper hand against radical Islamists. It does no good to say most Muslims are peaceful if you have no mechanism in place to act against or even identify those who are not.

On “American Idol,” Randy Jackson would often say of a contestant that he or she was “in it to win it.”

We don’t appear to be in it, but our enemies are.

Appreciate the little things The voice mail was ominous due to its generic nature.

Just a name and a number and a request for a call back. I braced for some sort of backlash, a story that was taken exception to or a columnist who took a stand that wasn’t appreciated.

There are so many things in this day and age that set people off. I had no idea what this call was about, so I was relieved when the topic turned out to be a delivery issue. A solvable one at that.

The woman on the other end of the line was asking if her paper could be left on her porch mat instead of thrown in the driveway. She was quick to say she was 92 and no longer able to make it down the front porch stairs and out into the drive. Her son, she said, lived too far away to pick the paper up each day,

This time I looked forward to making the call, and the chance to talk to Miss Marie again. Nothing like talking to a nonagenrian to put the world in perspective. She thanked everyone for taking care of the problem, but apologized at the same time: Todd Cline “I don’t want you to think Editor I’m picky, picky, picky,” she said. and she didn’t want to bother As we talked she told me her neighbors. “What if they about growing up in Rhode are going on vacation?” she Island, about how she never asked. planned to get married and As problems go, this was how she missed her late an easy fix.

She said she enjoys watching TV and looks forward to reading the paper, but she really misses is ballroom dancing. “I’d still do it if I could,” she said.

We talked for a while, and her positive nature was infectious. She said she wanted to do something at Christmas to thank the delivery person who is now making sure her paper makes it to the porch.

It was important for her to acknowledge the extra effort. ”I just want to show them I appreciate it,” she said. “A lot of times people don’t show their appreciation.”

But sometimes they do.

And it makes for a nice conversation.

A Trump-Sotomayor alliance on impartiality?

CHICAGO — Imagine that: Donald Trump and Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor now agree on the role of heritage in a judge’s ability to be impartial. They both say it’s a non-issue.

After a surprising — and reassuring — display of bipartisan disgust at Trump’s recent comments that Indiana-born federal Judge Gonzalo Curiel is biased because his parents are Mexican immigrants, Trump had to backpedal. He released a statement that said his words had been “misconstrued,” adding: “I do not feel that one’s heritage makes [judges] incapable of being impartial.”

Even many of Trump’s supporters had denounced him. Speaker Paul Ryan called the candidate’s original comments about Curiel “the textbook definition of a racist comment.” Newt Gingrich noted, accurately, “If a liberal were to attack Justice Clarence Thomas on the grounds that he’s black, we would all go crazy.”

Speaking of crazy, there was plenty of that too.

President George W. Bush’s disgraced Attorney General Alberto Gonzales came out of the woodwork to support Trump. In a Washington Post opinion piece that underscored several salient points why Curiel is beyond reproach — namely that while Curiel may be a member of a group called the

Judges are of comment by a justice of randomly assigned to cases the Supreme Court.” in their district, which is a Grassley is wrong on two system that has served us counts.

First, everyone and their mother heard the criticism over that comment during Sotomayor’s confirmation hearings — it, apparently, still haunts her to this day.

Second, Sotomayor herself has, on many occasions, taken pains to clarify her stance on race and ethnicity as a judicial lens, most notably during the second day of her confirmation hearings.

“I want to state upfront, unequivocally and without doubt: I do not believe that any ethnic, racial or gender group has an advantage in sound judging,” she told senators. “I do believe every person has an equal opportunity to be a good and wise judge, regardless of their background or life experience. … The words I chose, taking the rhetorical flourish, it was a bad idea. I do understand that there are some who have read this differently, and I understand why they might have concern.”

So there it is: Sotomayor and Trump agree that a judge’s heritage shouldn’t imply an inability to be impartial. And for anyone to suggest that it should is, as even Trump’s supporters have made clear, racist.

Worse, as other Republicans have noted about this latest Trump offense, it’s unAmerican.

Don’t put treatment before the diagnosis DEAR DR. ROACH: I am a man in my 80s, and in the past three years I have had four or five incidents when one of my wrists became excruciatingly painful, with some inflammation and slight reddish coloring.

I cannot correlate these incidents with prior physical or exercise activities, except that the most recent incident occurred the day after I may have overdosed on chocolate!

Would this be an incident of pseudogout, an accumulation of calcium pyrophosphate crystals?

To treat this condition, I have been prescribed Celebrex, hydrocodone and prednisone. I prefer not using Celebrex or a narcotic, and your recent column advised against using prednisone, since steroids can cause poor blood flow to bone tissue.

I am on lisinopril and warfarin, so I am limited to certain analgesics and anti-inflammatory agents.

What agents would you recommend? — Anon.

ANSWER: While it is possible that these incidents might be pseudogout (which you correctly note is due to calcium pyrophosphate crystals in joints), it might be gout (uric acid crystals) or even a different cause — say, arthritis or tendinitis. Before committing to a course of treatment, I’d recommend you get a diagnosis.

Both gout and pseudogout can be definitively diagnosed by taking a sample of joint fluid during an attack. Pseudogout, but not gout, can usually be diagnosed by X-ray.

A rheumatologist is the expert on sorting out joint pains.

By the way, I couldn’t find that chocolate is likely to cause either gout or pseudogout. Dark chocolate is thought by some authorities to be helpful, but milk chocolate is not.

DEAR DR. ROACH: I have trouble sleeping — I toss and turn a lot, and have back problems.

I am 80. Is it OK to take a 0.5 mg melatonin and a Benadryl? I sleep better with that, although I do dream a bit when I take the Benadryl. I noticed that Benadryl has the same ingredient as some sleep remedies.

— C.K. ANSWER: I don’t recommend any kind of sleeping aid on a regular basis, and I try hard not to prescribe them, especially in the elderly. They significantly increase the risk for falls. Diphenhydramine (the active ingredient in Benadryl and most over-the-counter sleep aids) also increases risk for collisions in older adults who drive. I am not sure that recent reports linking diphenhydramine to dementia prove that it is a cause of Alzheimer’s disease, but it’s another reason to avoid this medication on a more than occasional basis.

Melatonin, at the low dose of 0.5 mg, is safer and a better choice for sleep disturbance, especially in older adults.

He met a girl in Arizona (we live on the East Coast). This girl lives 2,000 miles away!

I know he is grown and has every right to do as he pleases. My concern is he has only known this girl three months and is leaving behind his family, friends and a good job in order to change his life.

I love him dearly, and I am having a very hard time understanding and accepting his decision.

Do I have the right to feel like he is being selfish, leaving us all behind, in order to be with someone he has only known a short few months?

Any advice would help this heartbroken momma!

— Heartbroken Dear Heartbroken: I’m always intrigued when someone with a problem asks if they “have the right” to feel a certain way.

world&nation world French knife attacker wanted to ‘hunt infidels’ PARIS — A knifewielding Islamist militant suspected of killing a French police commander and his partner at their home before being killed by police commandos had vowed five years ago to “hunt infidels” and been trained to slit the throats of rabbits.

Larossi Abballa, 25, a Frenchman who pledged allegiance to Islamic State chief Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi in an 12-minute video uploaded inside the victims’ home on Monday evening hours before he was shot, had been under police surveillance for years.

Conversations he had with fellow members of a jihadist cell back in 2011 show he was a violently outspoken Islamist radical, a judicial source told Reuters. Yet law enforcement officials said he presented no imminent threat.

In 2011, after he was arrested for helping Islamist militants travel to Pakistan, Abballa threatened an attorney for another indicted suspect: “I’ll have your head off,” a source close to the matter told Reuters.

Civilian flow from Falluja slows as ISIS tightens grip BAGHDAD/ERBIL, Iraq — About 40,000 residents of Falluja, Islamic State’s besieged stronghold near Baghdad, have fled in the last three weeks, but a similar number are trapped despite the Iraqi army’s attempts to secure escape routes for them, officials said on Tuesday.

Officials in Anbar province, where Falluja is located, said Islamic State was tightening control over civilian movement in the center where the United Nations and a provincial official estimate around 40,000 civilians are stuck with little food or water.

The group has used residents as human shields to slow the troops’ advance and thwart the air campaign backing them.

Motives behind shooting probed

Donald Glover joins cast of new ‘Spider-Man’ LOS ANGELES — “Community” alum Donald Glover has joined “SpiderMan: Homecoming,” sources confirmed to Variety.

Tom Holland plays the titular superhero and Robert Downey Jr. is set to reprise his role as Tony Stark — aka Iron Man. Jon Watts is directing Sony’s reboot of the “SpiderMan” franchise. Marisa Tomei will portray Aunt May and Zendaya is also on board in a mystery role. Plot details are still being heavily guarded as is a description of Glover’s character.

Reuters

ORLANDO, Fla. — U.S. investigators on Tuesday were digging into what motivated a Florida man to slaughter 49 people at a gay nightclub, including evidence he had become absorbed in militant Islamist ideas and reports he might have struggled with his own sexual identity.

Omar Mateen, who was shot dead by police after a three-hour standoff early on Sunday, left behind a tangled trail of possible motives. He also called police during his rampage to voice allegiance to various militant Islamist groups.

Federal investigators have said Mateen was likely self-radicalized and there is no evidence that he received any instruction or aid from outside groups such as Islamic State. Mateen, 29, was a U.S. citizen, born in New York of Afghan immigrant parents.

“He appears to have been an angry, disturbed, unstable young man who became radicalized,” President Barack Obama told reporters after a meeting of the National Security Council.

One official familiar with the investigation, who

spoke on the condition of anonymity, said investigators are only beginning to delve into the contents of Mateen’s cellphone and other electronic devices.

The source said they believe Mateen browsed militant Islamic material on the internet for two years or more before the Orlando shootings.

Mateen’s wife attempted to talk him out of the attack, NBC News reported on Tuesday, citing officials familiar with her comments to the FBI. The attack on the Pulse

nightclub in the central Florida city was the deadliest mass shooting in modern U.S. history, and the worst attack on the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community.

Soon after the attack, Mateen’s father indicated that his son had harbored strong anti-gay feelings.

He recounted an incident when his son became angry when he saw two men kissing in downtown Miami while out with his wife and young son.

The Orlando killings came six months after the

massacre of 14 people in San Bernardino, California, by a married couple professing Islamist militant ideologies.

Angel Colon, who was in Pulse with friends at the time of Mateen’s attack, described hearing gunfire and falling to the floor, shot in the left leg.

“I couldn’t walk at all,” Colon told reporters at Orlando Regional Medical Center, where he is one of 27 survivors being treated.

“All I could do was lay down. People were running over me.”

McHale, Hyland cast in Hulu’s ‘Dimension 404’ LOS ANGELES — “Community” alum Joel McHale and “Modern Family” star Sarah Hyland have been cast in Hulu’s upcoming sci-fi anthology series “Dimension 404,” Variety has learned.

McHale will appear in one episode as Mr. Maker, a charismatic, eccentric, yet slightly patronizing founder of a matchmaking company that offers single adults a seemingly perfect solution to finding love. Hyland will appear in another episode as Chloe, an unassumingly cute, typically independent high school student just discovering that boys are into her. With her older classmates’ opinions increasingly taking on more importance, Chloe pushes her uncle/ best pal, Dusty, to take her to a screening of a new sci-fi action film in a fresh, never-before-seen cinematic format — “Cinethrax” — which gives the audience a strange, perilous moviegoing experience.

They join previously announced stars Lea Michele and Robert Buckley, who will also appear in McHale’s episode as a couple brought together by his matchmaking service. Ryan Lee will star in another episode as Andrew, a teenage introvert and video game addict.

Gervais: Netflix acquires ‘Office’ movie spinoff

LOS ANGELES — Ricky Gervais revealed on Tuesday during the “Opie With Jim Norton Show” on SiriusXM that “The Office” spinoff movie, “David Brent: Life on the Road,” has been acquired

by Netflix.

“This is exciting news and this is top secret, so I’m going to say it now. Netflix has bought out the rest of the world again,” Gervais said. “Which is great for me, because I’d rather 20 million people see it than half a million people see it in cinemas, do you know what I mean?

Because I want to do tours off the back of it. So for me, it’s great.”

“Life on the Road” is written, directed by and stars Gervais, and follows a documentary crew catching up with his David Brent character as he chases his dream of rock stardom by self-financing a U.K. tour with his band Foregone Conclusion.

Baltimore aquarium to create first U.S. dolphin sanctuary Reuters Baltimore’s National Aquarium will create the first U.S. dolphin sanctuary and transfer its eight Atlantic bottlenose dolphins there, the aquarium said on Tuesday.

The move comes after five years of study and as the U.S. public has grown increasingly uneasy about keeping dolphins and whales in captivity, National

Must read Aquarium Chief Executive Officer John Racanelli said in a statement.

“The way a society treats its animals with whom it shares the planet speaks volumes about us,” he said.

Creating the outdoor, seawater sanctuary poses a challenge since all but one of the colony of six

female and two male dolphins was born in an aquarium or a zoo, Racanelli said. One female, Nani, was born in the wild in 1972.

The dolphins will have to learn how to be ocean-dwelling creatures. The site will be much larger than the dolphins’ current habitat, and will have more fish and marine plants.

Bottlenose dolphins are the one of the most common species

of marine mammals, with colors ranging from light gray to black.

They range in size from 6 feet to more than 12 feet in length, and adults can weigh up to 1,400 pounds.

Humans will care for the dolphins throughout their lives, Racanelli said. A team is weighing potential sites in Florida and the Caribbean. Racanelli did not give an estimate on the cost.

The nonprofit National

Aquarium resolved not to collect dolphins from the wild in 1993.

Its board voted in 2011 never to collect cetaceans, such as whales and dolphins, from the wild and pledged it would oppose those who did.

Creation of a dolphin sanctuary comes three months after SeaWorld Entertainment Inc. said it would halt breeding killer whales in its parks, bowing to pressure from animal rights activists.

In September of 2008, Sowash approached Perry Duvall and Julie Grant Duvall, for investment in hunting properties in Kentucky.

“Sowash insisted on signing a short contract that he had prepared and repeated his assurance that, as Christians, Duvall had nothing to worry about,” said Dan Mayfield, chief assistant DA. “What Duvall did not know was that Sowash had scammed two other fishermen, Trent Gober and Jody Cordell, for over $230,000 previously and he was looking for other victims.”

In October 2008, Sowash also “duped” Bo Phillips, an elderly retiree, into investing into a plot of land attached to Sowash’s lakeside mansion for $75,000, Mayfield said.

The Duvalls decided to try to get their money back after not hearing from Sowash.

Sowash reportedly said the money was invested in other properties. When Perry Duvall sued Sowash, Sowash called Duvall’s attorney and told him he had already spent all the money and that Duvall and his wife were “too stupid” to take care of their money, Mayfield said.

The $52,500 the Duvalls “invested” with Sowash was never returned, Mayfield added.

On Tuesday, Julie Duvall said she hopes the judge will order Sowash to repay them. But just seeing him held accountable was some closure, she said, thanking the authorities.

Not that there are any winners in the case. She said she also feels for Sowash’s family who’ve been affected by the case.

Sowash, who’d been out on bond since 2012, was arrested after the trial and remained jailed Tuesday awaiting sentencing.

A Buford woman faces charges after she reportedly stole money to pay electric and cable bills from a nonprofit that previously assisted her.

Patricia Ann Walker was indicted by a Gwinnett County grand jury for financial identity fraud, according to court records released last week.

Walker is accused of using information from a

check she received from the North Gwinnett Co-op to pay more than $400 Patricia Ann in personal Walker expenses Sept. 14, 2015, according to a Gwinnett County Police Department report.

Kim Phillips, executive director of the co-op, told police she saw “questionable charges” made to the organization’s bank

account Sept. 15, 2015, according to the report.

The transactions were for $277 for a Georgia Power bill plus a $2.25 payment-processing fee to Bill Matrix, an online bill company, police reported.

Officials said another transaction was for $124 to Charter Communications.

Phillips said the coop previously assisted Walker by writing her a $154.98 check, which was approved July 23, 2015, officials said.

The board member add that the co-op pays a maximum of $150 for electric bills for “families who are struggling financially,” but does not pay for cable bills, according to the report.

An investigation linked both billing accounts to Walker, police reported.

In a separate case, she pleaded guilty to felony first-degree forgery and was sentenced to serve 120 days and six years probation in 2006, according to court documents.

Webb Gin

•From Page 1A pushing other people in, that’s going to distract me or push me out of my school. I’m going to have to go to schools that I don’t want to.”

Mason was among the more than 200 residents who packed the Knollwood Lakes Subdivision Clubhouse Tuesday night to voice their opposition to proposed development that spans more than 50 acres and backs up to the Snellville Exchange shopping center on Scenic Highway.

Residents from 13 different neighborhoods near the proposed site of the apartments attended the meeting, according to Dennis Goodenow, who is leading the effort to fight the development.

The meeting was called by the developer JLC Holdings LLLP, but emotions ran high at times as residents pointed to numerous concerns, including increased traffic on Webb Gin House Road, possible negative effects on their home values, school overcrowding and fears that the apartments would lead to an increase in crime in the area.

“How am I going to feel better in any aspect of my life,” one man asked Tucker.

“The reasons I think this is a good project for this area is that it provides a diversity of housing options in a transitional area with unified development,” Tucker replied. “So you’ve got

a $30 million to $40 million apartment development. You’ve got 100 single-family lots that transition from a highdensity quarter to lower density.”

JLC Holdings LLLP wants to build 300 apartments geared millennials and young professionals, as well as a mix of 99 single-family and town homes on a 56.13-acre property on Webb Gin Road. The site is onehalf mile east of Scenic Highway and near the Snellville Exchange and Shoppes at Webb Gin commercial developments.

The meeting was held to meet with the public about the proposal, which has drawn a backlash from nearby residents who are pushing to stop it from being approved by the county’s planning commission or Board of Commissioners. The planning commission is scheduled to take the issue at its July 5 meeting in Lawrenceville.

The resident’s biggest issue is the proposed apartment complex.

“If they wanted to put 200 to 300 homes in there, there wouldn’t be any grief at all,” said Hugh Miller, who lives in the Memory Wood subdivision. “Everybody just doesn’t want the apartments because of what they bring … I’m talking about the lower home prices and you have renters, people who don’t respect the places they live.”

Spring Arbor Cross-

HERE’S YOUR CHANCE TO BE PART OF THE FUN!

ing subdivision resident Andre Payne said it comes down to what is the highest and best use of the property. Residents in the area don’t feel that includes apartments, he said. Payne’s assertions about land use during the meeting led residents to pick him to be one of their spokesmen at the July 5 planning commission meeting.

“What about the highest and best use for the existing property owners,” Payne said after the meeting on Tuesday.

“Their highest and best use is single-family homes the way the county has zoned it in the unified plan, the way they bought their property and that’s the highest and best use.”

The developers want to have one 43.56-acre parcel at the site rezoned from a single-family residence, or R-100, district to a traditional neighborhood development, or TND, district with 99 units. The makeup of those units includes 39 small single family detached lots, 33 mid-size single family detached lots and 27 attached town homes.

They also want the remaining 12.57 acres rezoned from an R-100 district to a Multifamily Residence, or RM-24, district so they can build the apartment complex.

Tucker told the residents the apartments would be high-priced residences, and that the houses would range in price from $200,000$400,000 in price as well.

The county’s planning and development staff have recommended denial of the project, saying the county’s 2030 Unified Plan discourages medium and high density residential developments in existing or emerging suburban character areas.

“Given the existence of multiple established single family subdivisions surrounding the proposed TND and

TM

high-density multifamily developments, staff considers these petitions unsuitable for the subject properties,” county planning officials wrote in a report on the proposal.

Tucker said county staff is wrong in their assessment, though.

“I respectfully disagree with the staff’s report,” he said. “I think it’s a proper land use. My clients have property rights and I’ve counseled them that I don’t agree with the staff report and I’m going to advocate for my client to get what I think is an appropriate use.”

The staff did give the planning commission and the Board of Commissioners another option though. If they don’t want to deny it outright, the staff recommended they approve it as an R-75 single-family development. That would mean homes could be built there, but the apartments would have to be cut out of it.

“If the apartment complex is gone, is that something you could live with?” planning commissioner Brad Crowe asked residents.

“Yes,” several of them said in response.

Payne and Miller said a residential development without apartments would fit the area better.

“Think about the area,” Payne said. “It’s a bedroom community. If you add apartments to a bedroom community, you’ve now changed the fabric of the community itself. If you add 300 apartments to a highly traveled, very narrow roadway, you’re just inviting all kinds of issues.”

Miller added: “My thing is from Scenic Highway, Highway 124, all the way to Grayson Highway, Highway 20, it’s single family homes except for the nursing facility (nearer to Scenic Highway). I don’t even know why they would want to put an apartment complex in here.”

The purchases by USA MidAmerica, which are subject to FCC approval, would double the number of stations owned by and operated by MSouth and Heartland, whose president, Bob Prather, has ties to Georgia media. Prather is chairman of the board of Southern Community Newspapers Inc., owner of The Gwinnett Daily Post and six other Georgia newspapers, and is a former president of Gray Television, a TV company that started in Albany.

Prather said Monday that he is following the formula he used with Gray TV. “We are excited at the opportunity to add these excellent stations to the group of stations already being managed under the Heartland umbrella,” he said.

“Both the stations and the communities they serve fit the markets we enjoy working in. With the experience and team of employees each station brings, we expect to build on the strong bases that have been established

by Nexstar and Media General.

“My plan is to follow the same formula I began back when my partner and I

bought control of Gray Television in 1993. That is, build a television group by acquiring No. 1-rated stations, Big Four affiliates with strong local news operations targeting university towns and state capitols that are deeply ingrained in the fabric of their communities.”

In addition to FCC approval, the purchase is subject to other regulatory approvals, the closing of the Nexstar/Media General transaction and other customary closing conditions. It is expected to be completed about the time of the closing of the Nexstar/Media General transaction, which is expected later this year.

It caused the most severe damage and was the most “daring bold act,” Rutledge has said.

“While obviously determined to cause damage to the property and interrupt store operations, the true intent is still largely unknown,” Capt. Tommy Rutledge said Tuesday in a news release.

According to fire investigators, leads thus far in the case have not panned out.

Since 2013, GOSA has identified exemplary teachers across the state through the Innovation in Teaching Competition. The competition has allowed GOSA an opportunity to film highly effective teachers and give teachers, and their schools, a grant stipend.

The program allows the lessons and expertise of these teachers to be shared through video with other teachers across the state. It includes unit plans, lesson plans, resources and interview clips so that other educators from around the state can utilize the instructional strategies they saw those exemplary teachers using.

BOYS FIELD PERFORMER OF THE YEAR

Ryan Camp SENIOR • ARCHER

Camp just misses record but leaves as two-time champ

By Will Hammock Ryan Camp let it all go on the final discus throw of his high school career.

The heave spun through the Jefferson sky and the Archer senior knew it was a good one, but he couldn’t keep his balance and stepped out of the throwing circle. It didn’t keep him from his second straight Class AAAAAA state title in his marquee event, though

it kept him from making a bigger mark on Georgia high school track.

“I didn’t want them to measure it,” said Camp, the Daily Post’s field performer of the year for the second straight season. “It was so close. I was pretty bummed about it. That throw would have been (a record).”

The throw measured at 198

feet, 7 inches, which would have been just ahead of the Gwinnett County and state meet record of 197-4, set in 2004 by Brookwood’s Antonio Lamar. Camp’s best in the event, 204-1 at a club meet, is in the ballpark with the bestever throw in a high school meet by a Georgia athlete, a 204-2 from Winder-Barrow’s Hiawatha Berry in 1985.

Without the record, the Texas Christian recruit still graduates as one of the best throwers in state history. His throws also surpassed some of the county’s all-time greats, like Dacula’s Israel Machovec (189-3 in 2006) and North Gwinnett’s Kibwe Johnson, a 2012 Olympian (185-10 in 1999).

“Ryan Camp will forever be

the perfect example of the student-athlete,” Archer track and field coach John McCartney said of Camp, who also had a 3.8 GPA. “His example should be what all of our athletes at Archer need to identify with and strive to be like. His discus record will likely remain on our new record board for See CAMP, Page 4B

Buford satellite camp was a win-win

By Paul Thomas

paul.thomas@ gwinnettdailypost.com

BUFORD —With temperatures pushing 100 degrees on Buford High School’s turf fields, college coaches from 14 schools got the chance to evaluate nearly 300 local high school football players in person on Monday at Buford’s Southeast Satellite Camp.

North Carolina State head coach Dave Doren and the majority of his staff were on hand for the camp, as was Wake Forest head coach Dave Clawson and his coaches. A plethora of University of Tennessee coaches made the trip down as well, led by defensive coordinator Bob Shoop.

Coaches from the University of Georgia, Georgia Tech, Georgia State, Maryland, Miami, Eastern Kentucky, Chattanooga and Alabama were among those on hand for the camp.

The day began with players being put through a Nike Sparq rating combine followed by agility and position drills, and the day concluded with one-on-one action.

“It was well-run,” Doren said. “(Buford head coach Jess Simpson) and his staff put together a really organized camp. There was a lot of good college coaches here today, so these kids were able to work with a lot of people with a lot of knowledge. For me as a head coach, I was able to really evaluate some kids (in person), and you don’t get that opportunity because (head coaches) aren’t allowed out in the spring anymore, so it was great day for me.”

The camp allowed for rising prospects like Grayson senior Steven

Banks, Mountain View senior Jonathan Stewart and Peachtree Ridge junior Wilson Catoe to get on college coaches’ radars.

It also allowed for the staff to get an up-close look at players they’ve already begun to evaluate on film.

Doren and his staff verbally offered a trio of rising Buford juniors.

Running backs Christian Turner and Anthony Grant Jr. and defensive back Bryson Richardson picked up offers from the Wolfpack.

Clawson and his staff, which already have a verbal commitment from Simpson’s son and senior linebacker Jake Simpson, kept a close eye on Richardson, Turner and Grant as well throughout the day and offered Richardson on Tuesday.

“I was hoping,” Turner said when asked if he knew an offer was coming when Doren pulled him and Grant aside. “Because we’ve talked to him a couple times before and he

was talking to us, and then he just pulled us over for the last time and he gave me his card, and then he told me at the last second.”

Turner and Grant each said this was their first time at a camp with college coaches on hand. The chance to compete one-onone with linebackers while college coaches evaluated them was one they didn’t waste with multiple big catches in the session.

“It was just a great opportunity to compete against other people,” Grant Jr. said. “This is my first camp ever and it was just a great (opportunity) to compete against other athletes out here. It was just exciting.”

Tennessee didn’t formally offer rising junior linebacker Lunden Bailey,but told him they want to keep evaluating him. He had already been to a camp in Knoxville, Tenn., this summer and the coaching staff told him they plan to be in touch soon.

In addition to the offers and exposure, the campers

also said they took a lot away from the opportunity to learn from the college coaches on Monday afternoon.

“It’s very neat,” Bailey said. “Just to get all the coaches out here in our backyard basically and all these kids from all around the United States coming out here to compete. It was real nice to catch up with all the coaches and showing what you can do out here. It’s just all about your ability and showing what you’ve got in front of college coaches.”

Jess Simpson said he was thrilled with the turnout for the camp, and even more so by the college coaches’ reaction to the local talent on the field.

“It’s pretty cool,” he said. “When I’m pulling these coaches (to the side) as they’re leaving and they’re like, ‘Golly, there were a couple older kids I loved and a bunch of young kids I can’t wait to follow.’ Just the energy, watching them coach, the expectations, it’s just fun.”

Collins Hill surges LeBron answers critics to give Cavs life late to win at UGA

will.hammock@ gwinnettdailypost.com

The field level temperature was scorching Monday at Sanford Stadium in Athens, but the Collins Hill football team’s start wasn’t quite so hot.

The Eagles went 2-2 in pool play and surrendered late scores in both losses.

“We kind of started out a little slow,” Collins Hill head coach Kevin Reach said. “It was kind of typical Collins Hill. We came out and didn’t play our best. But toward the end, we played really well.”

A No. 8 seed after pool play, the Eagles won their last four games and placed first in the UGA Kirby Smart 7-on-7 Tournament.

They finished as runnerup in the Athens event last summer.

Collins Hill defeated Ola in the semifinals and Tri-Cities in the title game.

“Any time you win a tournament, it’s always good,” Reach said. “It’s always a good tournament. You go there to get some work in, but at the same time it’s nice to come away with a little hardware.”

Des Howard, E.J. Pride, Askri Smith, Peyton Woulard and Braxton Curry were among the skill position standouts in the tournament victory, while

quarterbacks Monty Horn and Drew Dinsmore also played well. Horn and Dinsmore, who shared starting duties last season, both are college prospects and figure heavily into the team’s plans.

The two rotated last season, sometimes by plan and sometimes by necessity. Dinsmore broke his collarbone in the state playoffs and Horn had a severe high ankle sprain that limited him.

“We’re going into (the season) with two top-notch quarterbacks who are playing well,” Reach said. “We feel great about them. … We’re still evaluating both of them.

They’re both two different quarterbacks. Monty’s more of a dual-threat guy and Drew’s more of a gunslinger. We’re fortunate to have both of them.

They’re both really good quarterbacks who are going to help us.”

The championship in Athens also was a nice reward for the players, who fell just short at Central Gwinnett’s event last week. Collins Hill reached the title game at Central with a semifinal win over Norcross before losing a close game to North Gwinnett.

“We’ve still got a ways to go,” Reach said. “It’s still 7-on-7. But the kids played hard. That’s what matters.”

LeBron James responded emphatically to critics with a transcendent NBA Finals performance that not only kept the Cleveland Cavaliers’ season alive but may have put a seed of doubt into the minds of the Golden State Warriors.

James and teammate Kyrie Irving scored 41 points each for a desperate Cavaliers team that took advantage of the Warriors’ playing without suspended defensive stalwart Draymond Green to pull within 3-2 in the bestof-seven NBA Finals.

The 112-97 win on Monday marked the first step in the Cavs’ bid to become the only team to rebound from a 3-1 deficit in the NBA Finals and win the championship. They will host the Warriors in Game 6 on Thursday.

“I finally did a great job of not turning the ball over and got to my spots, got my teammates involved. Just tried to put us in position to be successful,” James said after Game 5.

“Obviously it’s not always a bed of roses on the court for 48 minutes, but you just try to go out there and trust your keys. That’s something I’m very comfortable with, and I’ve been comfortable with before in the past.”

James, one of the greatest NBA players of all-time, had been criticized by some onlookers early in the series for failing to step up and

take over in a Finals game.

But thanks to James, whose 16 rebounds and seven assists were more than any other player on the court during Game Five, the Cavaliers appear to have a legitimate chance to pull off the greatest NBA Finals escape act.

Cleveland will surely like their chances back at the Quicken Loans Arena, where they have lost once all postseason. And if they manage to force a decisive seventh game back in Oakland, all the pressure would be on the top-seeded Warriors.

all year,” said Cavaliers forward Kevin Love. “We love playing there in front of the home fans, so this is a good opportunity for us to get one.”

But the Warriors, who won a record 73 wins during the 82-game regular season, are not about to panic as the championship repeat they have targeted since the start of the season in October remains one win from reality.

For the Warriors, another NBA title would be the only

way to crown their recordsetting season.

“So we go back to Cleveland and tee it up again,” said Warriors coach Steve Kerr. “But I like our position a lot better than theirs.”

IN BRIEF Shiloh grad inducted into South Atlantic Conference HOF

will.hammock@ gwinnettdailypost.com

The Atlanta Falcons’ Friday Night Lights preseason scrimmage, held annually at a high school stadium, will return to Gwinnett County for the eighth time in nine years later this summer.

Grayson has been selected as the host site for the Aug. 5 event, scheduled for 7 to 9 p.m.

Only one high school from outside of Gwinnett — Gainesville in 2013 — has hosted the nineyear-old scrimmage.

Buford and Archer have hosted the previous two Friday Night Lights scrimmages. Mill Creek hosted the Falcons’ inaugural scrimmage in 2008, followed by Brookwood, North Gwinnett, Norcross and Peachtree Ridge.

“We’re very excited to show our community and our school off,” Grayson athletic and activities director Brian DeBerry said. “We look forward to hosting them. It will be great for the Grayson community.”

Falcons rookies play faster as they get more comfortable

By Matt Jennings Staff Correspondent

FLOWERY BRANCH — The Atlanta Falcons have spent the offseason emphasizing the need to get faster on defense. At the start of minicamp on Tuesday, they began to see results.

Rookies like linebackers De’Vondre Campbell and Deion Jones and safety Keanu Neal spent OTAs getting familiar with the playbook and their assignments. Now that minicamp has started and the players are no longer learning new plays, head coach Dan Quinn said the newcomers are beginning to be able to show their athleticism.

“That’s when a person becomes really dangerous,” Quinn said, “when I keep working the same skill over and over and over and over, and I got it. And I can play even faster.”

Quarterback Matt Ryan said he was impressed by Jones and Campbell, who both got a lot of work with the first-team defense Tuesday.

“Both of them are super athletic,” Ryan said.

“That’s the No. 1 thing going against them every day. They’re fast. And I think as they get more comfortable within the scheme, they’re going to continue to get better and better, and that’s exciting Atlanta Falcons first round draft pick Keanu Neal is for us.”

Quinn also pointed to in sacks in 2015.

“Along with (linebackers)

coach (Jeff) Ulbrich, those rookie linebackers, they put in work. There’s still a lot to go, but the work ethic, the mindset of what they’re doing, how hard they want to work for their teammates, it’s a pretty good linebacker group.”

Tight end help Rookie tight end Austin Hooper was in the mix at Tuesday’s practice, giving Ryan another capable pass-catcher at the position.

It was a new experience for both because Hooper missed OTAs to complete his degree at Stanford.

“That was fun to watch,” Ryan said of getting to practice with Hooper. “It was good to see him. He’s a big, athletic guy. Physical. He did a couple of nice things for us today.”

Ryan said he was impressed by some of the young players on offense

in addition to Hooper, pointing out undrafted free agent Dave Glidden and second-year running back Tevin Coleman. “(Coleman) looks really comfortable within the system,” Ryan said.

“I think his confidence is really high, and it should be because he’s such a talented guy. He’s going to be really good for us.”

News and notes Rookie offensive lineman Wes Schweitzer and veteran Tom Compton got reps with the first-team offensive line as right guard Chris Chester continues to recover from shoulder surgery. … Chester and Grady Jarrett (knee) returned to practice after missing OTAs but were limited to individual drills.

Quinn said the team is easing Chester back to make sure his strength and conditioning are where they need to be.

Roster changes give Jaguars fans hope as minicamp begins The Sports Xchange JACKSONVILLE — For the several thousand Jacksonville Jaguars fans who watch the first two days of the Jaguars’ mandatory minicamp Tuesday and Wednesday, one absolute must for the fans is to secure a team roster before entering the practice facility. The team that fans last saw in person at EverBank Field on Dec. 20 in a 23-17 loss to the Atlanta Falcons doesn’t look like the current group of Jaguars.

No less than 25 players on the current 90-man roster have been acquired this offseason, including a number who will likely be in the starting lineup when the Jaguars meet Green Bay in the 2016 regularseason opener. Among that group are safety Tashaun Gipson, defensive tackle Malik Jackson, defensive end Dante Fowler Jr., tackle Kelvin Beachum, guard Mackenzy Bernadeau, cornerback Prince Amukamara and running back Chris Ivory. Add in top draft picks cornerback Jalen Ramsey, linebacker Myles Jack, defensive end Yannick Ngakoue and defensive tackle Sheldon Day who if they don’t start, will certainly be in the rotation on a consistent basis, and you’ve got 50 percent of your lineup that have never taken a snap for Jacksonville.

That’s how much different and how much better

the Jaguars should be this season. But of course that’s also contingent on the Jaguars staying healthy. It’s a concern that has plagued this team for the past couple of seasons. Fowler tore his ACL in his first hour of practice with the team, less than a week after the Jaguars made him their No. 1 pick (third overall) in last year’s draft. The team’s best defensive lineman, Sen’Derrick Marks, played in just four games a year ago as he first recovered from ACL surgery, and then went to the sidelines with a torn labrum. The team’s best offensive lineman in 2015, Brandon Linder, played but three games a year ago before he was placed on season-ending injured reserve because of

surgery to repair a labral tear in his shoulder. The year before it was middle linebacker Paul Posluszny, the team’s leading tackler and easily the team leader on defense who played in just seven games before suffering a torn pectoral muscle that caused him to miss the final nine games of the 2014 season.

So while the Jaguars as a team look much improved over the product that they put on the field a year ago, much will depend on the team staying healthy. There is improved depth at most positions with the signing of a number of free agents last March. Jackson appears to be a star in the making and will certainly help improve a mediocre pass rush that the Jaguars had

For now, however, he is healthy and while he was forced to miss all of the Jaguars’ OTAs, it had nothing to do with the knee.

It was due to UCLA still being in class and thus he wasn’t eligible to work out with the Jaguars during that time.

Jaguars head coach Gus Bradley said Jack will be at full strength for the threeday minicamp. He’s been at the Jaguars’ facility for certain days in recent weeks, but his only participation has been in the classroom where he’s trying to get up to speed.

“When you go out there and do a move-the-ball situation, there is no better learning environment for our players,” Bradley said.

“Myles hasn’t been here for any of that. He’ll be going through a little bit of a learning curve.”

Jack made it through his first practice with the team on Tuesday and afterward spoke of just how glad he was to be in Jacksonville, ready to start his NFL career.

“It was fun, I had a blast,” Jack said of his first practice session with the Jaguars. “I definitely need to get in shape and just get more reps, but it was fun playing football again. I really enjoyed it. I definitely made a lot of mistakes and I will learn from it, but it was good being with the team and just getting acclimated.”

Latest ‘Big 3’ in the spotlight at U.S. Open this week

By Tom LaMarre

HOW THE ‘BIG 3’ STACK UP AT OAKMONT

The Sports Xchange

There are 156 players in the field for the U.S. Open at Oakmont this week, although at least until the first drive is struck on Thursday, the focus will be on what the media is referring to more and more as the new Big 3.

Jason Day of Australia, Jordan Spieth and Rory McIlroy of Northern Ireland don’t have close to the hardware amassed by the original threesome of that name — Jack Nicklaus, Arnold Palmer and Gary Player of South Africa.

Nicklaus, Palmer and Player produced a total of 34 major championships, compared to seven for the newbies.

However, in the past few years, Day, Spieth and McIlroy all showed they are made of some of the same stuff as those legends, trading the No. 1 spot in the World Golf Rankings during that time.

The 28-year-old Day, No. 1 right now, has captured seven of his last 18 tournaments, breaking through for his first major title last August in the PGA Championship at Whistling Straits and adding three victories this year, including the Players Championship and the WGC-Dell Match Play Championship.

“I extended my lead (in the rankings) for a while, and now Jordan and Rory are both closing in on it,” said Day, who claimed five

1. Rory McIlroy, Northern Ireland — The lowest-ranked of the new Big 3 might have the advantage at Oakmont because he’s longer and straighter than most off the tee, and that might minimize the number of times he has to deal with the notorious USGA rough. If he can make enough putts, Rory might claim his fifth major championship and second U.S. Open title, having won by eight strokes over Jason Day in 2011 at Congressional. McIlroy has not won one of the Grand Slam events since finishing off 2014 by claiming the Open Championship at Royal Liverpool and the PGA Championship at Valhalla, but he has finished in the top 10 in five of the last six majors. He recently won the Irish Open and tied for fourth in the Memorial his last time out.

PGA Tour victories last year.

“I heard a couple of weeks ago that it bothered Jordan that I was winning tournaments and have the No. 1 spot in the world, and it should. It should bother guys who are competitive and want to stay on top as well. There’s nothing wrong with being bothered by that. I hope it motivates them just as much as it motivates me to see other guys on top of the world and winning tournaments. …

“This is a big one coming up, the U.S. Open, and hopefully I can peak there and play well there.”

Spieth, 22, took the No. 1 spot after winning the Masters and the U.S. Open last year, then seemed to be ready for another big campaign after running away with an eight-stroke victory in the Hyundai Tournament of Champions in January.

His title defense at the Masters seemed to

be nothing more than a coronation when he took a five-stroke lead to the back nine on Sunday at Augusta National — before a monumental collapse left him in a tie for fourth.

There was talk that it might take him a while to recover, but then he won the Dean & DeLuca Invitational last month for his eighth PGA Tour victory, a record for a player of his age.

“I know that if you win a U.S. Open at Oakmont, you can go ahead and say that you’ve conquered the hardest test in all of golf, because this is arguably the hardest course in America day to day,” said Spieth, who has finished no worse than a tie for fourth in his last four majors. “(It’s) normally the hardest U.S. Open, at least (that is) what history shows. That would

2. Jordan Spieth, United States — The defending champion seemed to shake off his collapse on the back nine in the final round of his title defense at the Masters, blowing a five-stroke lead, by winning the Dean & DeLuca Invitational, but then he tied for 57th in the Memorial. Spieth must straighten out his ball-striking, and if he can, a second straight U.S. Open title could be his because he is considered the best putter around, especially from long range. He figures to be in the hunt no matter what because he has an innate talent for getting the ball into the hole, and he has finished no worse than a tie for fourth in the Open Championship last year at St. Andrews in the last five majors. Spieth has two victories this year and seven since the start of 2015.

3. Jason Day, Australia — The top-ranked player in the World Golf Rankings captured his first major title in the PGA Championship last August at Whistling Straits and has made it clear that he is hungry for more. Day figures to be right there on Sunday because he has finished in the top 10 in each of the last four majors and has a strong record in the U.S. Open. He tied for ninth last year at Chambers Bay, tied for fourth the year before at Pinehurst No. 2, tied for second in 2013 at Merion and was solo second in 2011 at Congressional. Day has taken a firm grip on the No. 1 spot, showing that he has learned how to close the deal with three victories this season after winning five times in 2015.

— Tom LaMarre, The Sports Xchange

obviously be a tremendous honor (to win there). Any time you win the U.S. Open, you’ve won the hardest test in golf that year, but this is potentially the hardest test in all of golf. …

“Short game is there.

It’s U.S. Open-ready. It needs to continue to stay there with some extra effort on driving the ball. It needs to be improved. My wedges, they’ll work well there.”

McIlroy, 27, won four major titles by the age of 25, the last coming in the 2014 PGA Championship

at Valhalla, and if he ever captures the Masters, he would complete the career Grand Slam.

Like Spieth, he is coming into the U.S. Open off a recent victory — in the Irish Open — the 20th title in his pro career around the globe. “(Oakmont) looks like an awesome golf course,” said McIlroy, whose major resume includes the 2011 U.S. Open at Congressional, where he won by a whopping eight strokes over Day. “It looks unbelievably hard, and it will reward very good

ball-striking. It’s going to be tough.

“I remember watching a little bit of it back in ‘07 when (Angel) Cabrera won (at Oakmont). I’d say you’re probably going to expect a similar score (5 over par) to win this year again if conditions are the way they want them to be. …

“I don’t know how much it’s going to come into play at Oakmont, but I feel like I’m driving the ball well. That’s always a good asset to have in your bag going into the U.S. Open.”

Wood reviving career in Reds bullpen Bruce powers 3-1 Cincinnati victory

By Guy Curtright Staff Correspondent

ATLANTA — Blake Wood goes way back with Turner Field.

“I was 11 when it opened, I remember it very vividly,” the Suwanee resident and North Gwinnett High School graduate said. “I grew up as a kid coming to games here.

“It’s weird to be playing in it first of all, and then to know it’s going to be gone is strange.”

Like Turner Field, it looked like Wood’s major league career would have a shorter life span than expected.

Now that’s changed.

Wood will likely be coming back home to pitch when SunTrust Park in Cobb County opens next year and for seasons afterwards.

“He’s been one of our more dependable relievers,” Cincinnati Reds manager Bryan Price said.

“He’s pitched really well after a slow start. This is kind of a second chance for his career.”

A third-round draft choice by the Kansas City in 2006 after shining at Georgia Tech, Wood lost the 2012 season with the Royals to Tommy John surgery, and the road back has often been bumpy.

Indians and spent all of last year in the minors.

Wood led the Class AAA International League with 29 saves, but never got a call up from the Pittsburgh Pirates.

“A lot of baseball is being at the right place at the right time,” he said.

With that not being the case in Pittsburgh, Wood signed with Cincinnati in November as a free agent.

So far, so good.

“You know, sometimes the situation is right, and you just hope when you’re able to get the opportunity that you’re able to perform well,” the 30-yearold said. “Last year, there was just no opportunity there, and this year there has been. Luckily, I’ve been consistent, for the most part, and performing well.”

Wood worked two hitless innings against

the Atlanta Braves on Monday for his fifth hold, striking out three and walking one in the Reds’ 9-8 victory.

The outing lowered Wood’s ERA to 3.51 in 31 appearances and he had a 5-1 record to go with 33 strikeouts over 33 1/3 innings entering Tuesday.

“We knew when we brought him in in the sixth that it was going to be a two-inning outing, and he’s done that a few times for us well,” Price said. “… He gave us exactly what we had to have.”

Wood hasn’t allowed a run in any of his five outings where he’s pitched two full innings.

“The manager wants to know what he’s going to get when he calls down to the bullpen,” said Wood, who appeared in 51 games for Kansas City in 2010 as a rookie and

in 55 games the next year before hurting his elbow.

“I feel like I’ve been able to provide that lately.”

Wood’s 62 2/3 consecutive innings without surrendering a homer is the longest active streak in the majors.

“The main thing is just going one pitch at a time,” Wood said. “It’s very cliché, but it’s taken a long time in my career to be able to actually do that while I’m on the mound.

To not think about stuff that might happen or that can happen.

“You just try to execute a pitch, then you just try to execute another one, and then keep doing that until they take you out of the game.”

Wood went to his first Braves game at Atlanta-Fulton County Stadium before Turner Field opened in 1997, was at the 2000 Home Run Derby and played at the Ted for Georgia Tech against Georgia.

This was his second trip back as a major leaguer, making the first while with Kansas City.

“I had family and friends here (Monday) and I knew others were watching on TV,” he said.

“It was exciting to pitch at Turner Field in its last season. It’s still strange for me to think that the Braves are moving.”

The Ted will be no more after this season, but Wood’s career has had a rebirth.

Moses named new G- Braves manager From Staff Reports The Atlanta Braves announced Tuesday that John Moses has been named the new manager of the Gwinnett Braves.

Moses, Gwinnett’s hitting coach for the past two seasons, replaces Rick Albert, who has been reassigned to the Braves’ Gulf Coast League affiliate.

It is the second managerial stint for Moses this season. He went 1-1 as Gwinnett’s acting manager from May 17-18 immediately following the promotion of former G-Braves’ manager Brian Snitker to Atlanta’s interim manager.

Prior to this season, Moses had never managed at any level of professional baseball.

The 58-year-old Moses is in his fourth season in the Atlanta Braves’ organization. In addition to his time with Gwinnett, he has also served as the hit-

ting coach at Advanced-A Lynchburg (2013-14) and at Class AA Mississippi (2014).

Moses’ coaching career includes stints as a hitting coach in the minor league systems of the Los Angeles Dodgers (2008-10) and Houston Astros (2011). He has also worked at the Major League level, serving as the Seattle Mariners’ first base coach (2000-03,

2007) and outfield and baserunning coordinator (2004) and the Cincinnati Reds’ bench coach (2005) and first base coach (2006).

Prior to coaching, Moses played parts of 11 seasons in Major League Baseball. He batted .254 with 11 home runs, 145 RBIs and 101 stolen bases in 769 games with the Seattle Mariners (1982-87,

1992), Minnesota Twins (1988-90) and Detroit Tigers (1991).

Albert, a member of the Braves’ organization for the past 45 seasons, guided Gwinnett to a 10-13 record in 23 games in his first career AAA managerial assignment. He was promoted to the post from the Gulf Coast League on May 17 and joined the club on May 19. Albert replaced Snitker, who went 19-20 in 39 games prior to joining Atlanta.

The Gwinnett Braves (30-34) begin a six-game road trip Tuesday with the opener of a three-game series against the Lehigh Valley IronPigs (34-29).

First pitch at Coca-Cola Park in Allentown, Penn., is set for 7:05 p.m. Righthander Joel De La Cruz (1-1, 5.73 ERA) is slated to start for the G-Braves, while right-hander David Buchanan (3-4, 4.76 ERA) counters for the IronPigs.

Sharapova appeals her two-year ban Reuters LONDON — Five-time grand slam champion Maria Sharapova is seeking to have her two-year doping ban wiped out or reduced as she lodged an appeal with the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) on Tuesday.

The 29-year-old Russian was banned by the International Tennis Federation earlier this month following a positive test for the banned drug meldonium during January’s Australian Open.

“In her appeal to the CAS, Ms Sharapova seeks the annulment of the Tribunal’s decision to sanction her with a two-year period of ineligibility further to an anti-doping rule violation,” sport’s highest tribunal said in a statement.

“Ms Sharapova submits that the period of ineligibility should be eliminated, or in the alternative, reduced.”

The statement added that her case had been expedited and a ruling would be made by July 18 at the latest, which means Sharapova still harbours

hopes of competing at the Rio Olympics in August provided her ban is reduced to time already served.

The former world number one was named in Russia’s official entry list for the Olympics tennis tournament.

Sharapova had called the ITF’s ruling “unfairly harsh” as an independent tribunal had found that she had not intentionally violated anti-doping rules.

Meldonium was added to WADA’s list of banned substances at the start of the year after mounting evidence that it boosted blood flow and enhanced athletic performance.

About 180 athletes have tested positive for the drug, manufactured in Latvia and common throughout eastern Europe, since January.

Sharapova stunned the sporting world in March when she announced that she had tested positive for meldonium, a component of a product named Mildronate which she has taken since 2006 for health issues.

Dunga fired as Brazil coach after Copa America failure

By Andrew Downie

Reuters

RIO DE JANEIRO — Brazil fired Carlos Caetano Bledorn Verri, known as Dunga, the national football confederation (CBF) announced on Tuesday, two days after his side failed to get past the group stages of the Centenary Copa America.

The Brazilians drew 0-0 with Ecuador and beat Haiti 7-1 but were beaten 1-0 by Peru to exit the competition at the group stages for the first time since 1987.

Dunga, who was in his second spell as Brazil coach, was fired after a meeting at the CBF in Rio de Janeiro.

“The Brazilian Football Confederation decided this Tuesday to dissolve the technical commission of the Brazilian national team,” the CBF said in a short statement.

“National teams coordinator Gilmar Rinaldi, coach Dunga and their entire team will leave their posts.

“The CBF has begun the process of choosing a new technical commission for the Brazilian team.”

The overwhelming favorite to become Brazil’s new coach is Corinthians’ 55-year-old manager Tite.

The new man will also be charged with leading the under-23 squad in August’s

Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, the only major tournament Brazil have never won.

Tite led Sao Paulo’s biggest club to Brazil’s Serie A title in 2011 and 2015 as well as the Copa Libertadores and World Club Cup for the first time in 2012.

Dunga had never coached until he was first hired as Brazil boss in 2006. He led them to the Copa America in Venezuela in his first major tournament the following year.

He was fired in 2010, immediately after Brazil were eliminated by the Netherlands at the quarter-final stage of that year’s World Cup. After coaching his boyhood club, Internacional,

for a year in 2013, Dunga was a surprise choice to replace Luiz Felipe Scolari after Brazil’s humiliating 7-1 loss to Germany in the 2014 World Cup. Dunga, who was captain of Brazil’s 1994 World Cup winning side, was given the task of revamping the national setup, but his defensive style of play and curt manner won him few fans.

Led by Barcelona striker Neymar, Brazil performed well in friendlies but was knocked out of the 2015 Copa America at the quarterfinal stage by Paraguay and, without several firstteam players, they were poor again at this year’s tournament in the United States.

•From Page 1B would rate (the season) probably an 8,” Dennard said. “I wouldn’t say a 10 because I didn’t win state in the 110s and I didn’t help my school out with a state championship.”

The 6-foot-2, 175-pounder’s all-around performance certainly did his part, though.

He won state, sectional and region championships in the high jump, leaping 6 feet, 6 inches at state and posting a better jump of 6-8 at region. He swept Gwinnett County, Region 8-AAAAAA, AAAAAA Sectional and state titles in the 300 hurdles while also taking first in the 110 hurdles at region. He was fourth at both state and sectionals in that event.

Dennard could have contributed in a number of events, which makes him so valuable to the Comets.

“I would say that Antuane is definitely the most versatile athlete I have ever coached,” South coach Sharard Pritchett said. “He can truly do anything in track and field. The hardest decision that we have to make is what event to put him in. Once during the season we let the athletes choose their events, Antuane chose the 800, a very strenuous event, and he got first place running a sub-two-minute time with no training. Antuane has the confidence

Dennard needed to be a superstar athlete, and he refuses to let anyone outwork him.

Currently, Antuane is our school record holder in the high jump and 300 hurdles. Also, he is a student of the sport.

A number of times I’ve witnessed him looking at videos of professionals during his down time to help him perfect his craft.

Antuane has a number of colleges looking at him and the sky is the limit for him.”

In addition to track and field, Dennard likely will have college opportunities in another sport where his speed, long frame and athletic ability are beneficial.

He played several sports as a youngster but enjoyed football through eighth grade. He gave the sport up when he entered high school at Peachtree Ridge but started playing again last season for South, where he transferred prior to his junior season and joined his father, a South social studies teacher.

“I always loved football, but my coach at Peachtree Ridge wouldn’t let me do football and track,” said Dennard, whose parents were both accomplished track and field athletes. “As soon as I got the opportunity (to play football again), I took it.”

South football coach John Small said colleges are intrigued by Den-

nard, whose height helps him make plays at wide receiver and cornerback.

“I’m not sure what I really want to do just yet (about a sport in college),” Dennard said. “I’m getting more attention for track right now. If track can pay for school, I’ll do track.

If football can pay for school, I’ll do football.

I’m trying to take that burden off my parents.”

Dennard admitted the break away from football set him back, but he got reacquainted with the sport as a junior and hopes for even better as a senior. Ideally he wants to match his impressive rise in high school track and field.

As a Peachtree Ridge sophomore, Dennard made state in just one event, the 110 hurdles, and was disqualified.

“I wasn’t on the radar this year, so nobody knew who I really was,” Dennard said.

Other athletes and coaches found out quickly in Dennard’s banner track and field season. He is excited about adding more championships, especially one for his team next spring.

“This season has gone real well, probably one of the best seasons I’ve ever had,” Dennard said.

“Looking forward to next year, I hope I do better and help the team win. Each year I want to improve.”
