911 operators fight inactivity with treadmills

Words of wisdom

Elementary students get visit from Sandra Deal

By Keith Farner

keith.farner@gwinnettdailypost.com

SUGAR HILL — Nervous excitement filled the front entrance of Roberts Elementary on Wednesday morning as a group of fifth-graders awaited the first lady of Georgia.

Thanks to a parent connection, Sandra Deal accepted an invitation to visit the school, and while she was there, she read a book written by a member of the Zac Brown Band and toured classrooms. “Will Powers: Where There’s a Will There’s a Way” was written

by Zac Brown lead guitarist and co-writer Coy Bowles.

If the calls weren’t enough, Gwinnett County 911 operators now have a new way to get their blood pumping.

The county communications manager recently bought two treadmills so operators can take a stroll while taking reports of emergencies. The idea, according to Cpl. Deon Washington, is to combat adverse effects of the “sedentary lifestyle” naturally encouraged by the gig, which calls for 12 hours of sitting at a desk.

“These treadmills can be used with the current desk that raises and lowers to allow the communications officers to sit or stand,” Washington said in a news release Wednesday. “The goal is to improve employee health by reducing stress, promoting a healthy body weight, and lowering blood pressure. Research has shown that employees who exercise at work often exhibit better time management, mental performance and mental ability.”

So far, 75 of the center’s 114 communications officers have signed up. Forty-five of them agreed to participate in a program documenting the results over the next six months.

A fitness coach will help oversee the program, which is set to include monitoring of the employees’ daily step count, treadmill usage and biometric screenings for weight, body mass, cholesterol and blood sugar.

“We highly anticipate the program showing that exercising improves the lifestyle and productivity of our communications officers,” Washington said. “Our hope is that other 911 centers across Georgia will see the benefit of this exciting program. We are committed to improving the quality of life for the citizens of Gwinnett County and for our employees.”

Crowds pack Snellville Fresh Market for store’s opening

By Curt Yeomans

curt.yeomans @gwinnettdailypost.com

Libby Willis was ecstatic as she picked up a container of fresh chicken salad and read its label at the new Fresh Market in Snellville on Wednesday, but it wasn’t necessarily the salad that made her happy.

It was the fact that the trip time to her favorite grocery store chain just dropped by two-thirds that had the Lawrenceville resident excited.

“I used to live in Suwanee, so I went to the Fresh Market up there all of the time,” Willis said. “I was so happy when I found out they were opening one down here, and I couldn’t wait for them to open. It takes me about 30 minutes to get to the store in Suwanee, but this one is only a 10-minute drive from where I live.”

The grocery store at 1679 Scenic Highway held its grand opening Wednesday, and it was packed with cus-

tomers throughout the day.

Even hours after the 8 a.m. opening, which included a “cracking of the Parmesan” instead of the usual ribboncutting, just about every parking space in the store’s parking lot was filled.

It wasn’t anything out of the ordinary though for Fresh Market officials.

This is their 15th store in Georgia.

“Our openings are usually very busy,” Fresh Market Field Marketing Manager Logan Holcomb said. “Everyone is very excited about this store, including our customers and our employees.”

The store handed out sample-sized bags of coffee and free reusable shopping bags to the first 1,000 customers and offered food sample stations and chef demonstrations were held throughout the day. Cus-

tomers were also eligible to sign up for drawings for five $100 Fresh Market gift cards. The samples, demonstrations and drawing registrations will continue through the weekend.

The customers who came by for the opening day festivities were treated to an abundance of foods, including more than 200 imported and domestic cheeses, 30 types of freshly baked

breads, more than 400 types of produce, including several organic options, and a meat section that sold thick slabs of pink, freshly cut meats.

There was even a bakery display that dazzled customers with its array of colors and plump cakes and 14 types of pies.

A candy table was set up near the produce section to look like a cascading water-

fall of Easter basket candies, including Blow Pops, SourHeads, chocolate rabbits, Ring Pops, bags of cotton candy and candy sticks that had multiple colors swirling toward the top.

One customer uttered “It’s beautiful” as she looked around the store while waiting to check out the pasta counter. Other customers joked that they had to get away from

bakery display cases before their sweet teeth got them in trouble.

That’s exactly the type of response the chain looks for from its customers.

“It’s all about the experience,” Holcomb said. “If you’re a foodie and you love to cook, we’ve got all of the ingredients you’re looking for. If you just want a meal to go, we’ve got that as well.”

Curt Yeomans The clock is now ticking on the city of Rest Haven, as the Georgia Senate weighs a bill that would do away with the city and Renee Unterman transfer its land to Buford.

Senate Bill 427 has been expected for weeks, since a legal advertisement announcing its impending introduction was published in the Daily Post. State Sen. Renee Unterman, RBuford, filed the bill in the hopper on Monday, and it was assigned to the State and Local Governmental Operations Committee on Tuesday.

Rest Haven has tried a few times before to end its existence as a city, only to find its efforts rebuffed in legal wrangling. Now the city is largely inactive and relies on Buford for some services.

“I think we’ll all be happier as a part of Buford,” Rest Haven Mayor Kenneth Waycaster told the Daily Post last month.

“We’ve always worked with them pretty well.”

Rest Haven’s case is unusual because its efforts to dissolve itself stand in stark contrast to the rush of new cities — including fellow Gwinnett County city Peachtree Corners — to incorporate in recent years.

“Most everybody who wants to become a city is someplace large, they’re not small like we are,” Waycaster said.

The bill makes no explicit reference to Rest Haven, which is a tiny city of about 55 residents straddling Buford Highway that is surrounded on all sides

by Buford. The legislation simply states that it will “amend an Act providing

Cars drive up and down Buford Highway in Rest Haven. A bill was introduced in the state Senate this week that will effectively end the city’s existance and add its land to the city of Buford. (File Photo)

a new charter for the City of Buford, approved June 3, 2003 … so as to change the corporate limits of the city.”

Unterman told the Daily Post in December, however, that the bill would match similar legislation that transferred all of Rest Haven’s land on the east side of Buford Highway to Buford.

“We did one side of the road last year,” she said.

“The city of Buford has been working on absorbing the other side of the road.”

Unterman and Buford Commission Chairman Phillip Beard previously told the Daily Post that the look of Buford Highway within Rest Haven was a key factor in the move to transfer the land to Buford’s control. Car dealerships and one dilapidated building that is falling in on itself line the street in Rest Haven.

“It just doesn’t look like the rest of Gwinnett County,” Unterman said.

“Since that’s an entryway to Lake Lanier Islands, and a lot of Lake Lanier traffic (goes through there), they just want to clean it up.”

The bill doesn’t have much time to get through both houses of the General Assembly and their respective committees, though.

Today is Day 34 of the 40day legislative session.

Butler announces ceremonies for Vietnam veterans State Sen. Gloria Butler, D-Stone Mountain, announced on Tuesday that

she is looking for Vietnam veterans to honor at a pair of back-to-back special ceremonies that will held in Snellville and Decatur on April 16.

Officials in Butler’s Gloria Butler office are asking veterans from the war to contact them to be recognized and honored during either ceremony. One ceremony will be held at 11 a.m. in the auditorium at South Gwinnett High School in Snellville, and the other will be held at 3 p.m. in the auditorium of the Performing Arts Building in Decatur.

Veterans who would like to be recognized during the ceremony are asked to call Butler’s office at 404-656-0075, by mail at ATTN: Sen. Gloria Butler, 206 Washington St., Suite 420-C, Atlanta, GA 30334. The office staff is asking that the veteran’s full legal name, address, phone number, email address, branch of service, dates of service, rank and a copy of their DD214 be provided.

The deadline to contact the office about participating in either ceremony is March 30.

Johnson asks commission for landfill protections U.S. Rep. Hank Johnson, D-Ga., sent a letter to the U.S. Commission

on Civil Rights this week, asking the group to help protect people from coal ash that could be dumped in municipal landfills.

Johnson’s office said coal ash can be toxic and cause cancer. A statement from the congressman’s staff said residents could be Hank Johnson put at risk as coalfired power plans close and look for places to dispose of the ash.

“I am concerned Georgia residents, specifically those in low-income and minority communities, are facing a greater risk of toxic chemical exposure simple because the coal ash is being disposed of in inadequately protected facilities that happen to be in their neighborhood,” Johnson wrote in the letter.

“On behalf of my constituents, it is critical that the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights underscore the importance of all communities receiving the same level of protection from coal ash and that the EPA can easily close this gap in protections by augmenting the federal rules applicable to municipal solid waste landfill.”

Early spring flowering trees and shrubs add color to landscape The first day of spring is near, and yards and gardens are beginning to show signs of the transition. While we are still experiencing cold temperatures, warmer days are soon to arrive. Many plants are coming out of winter dormancy and have flowers early in the spring, beautifying the home landscape.

Redbuds are some of the first to flower. The blossoms are 1/2 inch long, come in several colors and are in clusters of four to eight. The leaves are heart-shaped, and the trees grow up to 25 feet tall. Several varieties of

The flowers make excellent floral displays.

When we think of magnolias, the big-leaf magnolias come to mind with their evergreen, leathery green foliage and large white flowers. However, several magnolias are deciduous and bloom early. The star magnolias Tim Daly are often some of the first trees to bloom and have redbuds are available, fragrant white flowers including Alba, which has that are 3 to 4 inches in white flowers; Forest Pan- diameter.

purple, and the outer parts are white. Both magnolias can be used as specimen plants or in groupings.

Sometimes late season freezes can damage the flowers.

Several varieties of cherry trees produce blooms early in the season. Okame is usually the first with its lavendercolored blossoms. “Yoshino” cherries have white blooms later in March, and Kwanzan cherries have double pink flowers.

Though they produce attractive flowers, flowering cherries do not perform well in our area. The hot summer temperatures combined with the heavy clay acidic soils cause them to decline in time.

The trees are troubled by a fungal leaf spot disease, and in wet years, the trees can lose all of their foli-

age by the end of August.

Many varieties of crabapples make colorful additions to the spring landscape. The trees grow up to 30 feet tall with a similar width. The flowers, which grow in clusters, come in many colors and are 1 to 2 inches long; some of the flowers are fragrant.

Crabapples serve as smaller shade trees for the home landscapes.

Several varieties have nice qualities such as Callaway, with pink buds and brilliant white flowers; Indian Summer, which has rose-colored flowers that fade to lavender; and Adirondack, which has white flowers with a red tinge. The trees produce fruit that is 1 inch in diameter. Some varieties are troubled with fireblight, which is a bacterial

disease that causes tips of the branches to turn black and die. If the problem occurs, use hand pruners to cut the branch back a few inches below the diseased areas. Dip the pruners in alcohol or a bleach solution to sterilize, and then make the next cut.

Several shrubs also produce colorful blooms in the early spring.

Forsythias prolifically produce yellow bellshaped flowers. They are easy to grow and thrive in the landscape. Flowering quince produces showy flowers that are scarlet, white, pink or red. Some varieties produce 3-inch long applelike fruit that is edible. Quince is sometimes troubled by aphids, which can cause leaf loss.

Use insecticidal soaps to control aphids.

A variety of flowering plants provides beauty in the early weeks of spring. Even though the weather is still cold, these plants herald the arrival of warmer days and the growing season.

Brain condition not a concern DEAR DR. ROACH: I had an MRA scan, and it was noted that I have calcifications in my cerebellum, suggesting dystrophic calcifications. Is this hereditary? How do you know you have it?

— D.S. ANSWER: Calcifications are deposits of calcium buildup, and can occur in virtually any tissue of the body. In some areas they are so common as to be considered normal. For example, the pineal gland normally calcifies as we age.

An MRA scan (magnetic resonance angiogram) is a magnetic scan that looks at the circulation. Due to more people getting MRA and MRI scans, we know a little bit more about brain calcifications, and it seems that in most cases in older individuals, calcifications are not likely to be associated with neurologic problems. However, calcifications also can be seen in places of brain injury, such as stroke. They also may be seen in congenital abnormalities, infections and tumors.

Dystrophic calcifications are most commonly seen in areas of brain injury such as trauma, surgery, stroke and radiation treatment.

Nothing needs to be done for the calcifications beyond what might be appropriate medical treatment for the findings on your MRA scan.

DEAR DR. ROACH: I am male and 66, and I have battled an acne problem for over 50 years. Dermatologists have prescribed pills and creams, but these were never totally successful.

Recently I have doubled my water intake, and my acne problem has almost totally cleared up. Is this large consumption of water helping?

Is it good for a person?

— J.K. ANSWER: I found many anecdotes of people finding their acne improved with increased water intake, but no scientific studies showing that it is effective. So that brings me to your next question: Is drinking large amounts of water good for you? The answer depends on how much water is considered “a large consumption.”

While your body is capable of maintaining correct water balance across a very wide range of water intake, a modest amount, one to two liters (that includes water in food), is all you are likely to need.

To be fair, water intake up to very high amounts (40 liters per day) can be handled by a person with normal kidneys and normal heart function, unless the person is taking a medication that affects salt and water metabolism, such as a diuretic, or has an abnormality with anti-diuretic hormone. In my world, as an internal medicine doctor, I see far more problems with water excess than with inadequate water intake.

In your case, the time course you present is strong evidence that the extra water helped your acne. But it also is possible it was something else. Testosterone levels tend to decrease normally in men in their 60s, and that may be responsible for the improvement in your acne.

DEAR AMY: I am a single mother of a 17-yearold son in his last year of high school. He is an only child. I gave birth to him in my senior year of high school. I never got married and never brought men into our lives.

I went through a really significant rough patch for about three years during his young teenage life. I have bounced back and life is pretty great now.

He and I were so close before the tough times started and now that things are good again he seems so withdrawn from me. I try so hard and I love him more than anything in this world.

He will be headed to college soon and it’s causing me so much anxiety. I don’t know how to get him to connect with me prior to graduating and beginning his young life away from home.

My heart is aching, and I think about it all the time.

I try to make special plans with him, but he never wants to do anything with me. He’s so great and incredibly humble. I am so proud of him and just want to be close again. Do you have any suggestions?

— Mother in Tears DEAR MOTHER: Here’s my advice: Abide with him. Be patient with him. Love him in the ways you have always loved him and work hard — not to win him over but to let him leave you.

world&nation WORLD Kim: North Korea has miniaturized nuclear warheads SEOUL — North Korean leader Kim Jong Un said his country has miniaturized nuclear warheads to mount on ballistic missiles and ordered improvements in the power and precision of its arsenal, state media reported on Wednesday.

Kim has called for his military to be prepared to mount pre-emptive attacks against the United States and South Korea and stand ready to use nuclear weapons, stepping up belligerent rhetoric after coming under new U.N. and bilateral sanctions last week for its nuclear and rocket tests.

U.S. and South Korean troops began large-scale military drills this week, which the North called “nuclear war moves” and threatened to respond with an all-out offensive.

Kim’s comments were his first direct mention of the claim, made repeatedly in state media, to have successfully miniaturized a nuclear warhead, which has been widely questioned and never independently verified.

Europe deal with Turkey fails to deter migrants DIDIM, Turkey — Turkey’s coastguard intercepted dozens of mostly Syrian migrants in coves along the Aegean coast on Wednesday as they continued to attempt perilous sea crossings to Greece despite Ankara’s efforts to stem the flow under a deal with the European Union.

A group of 42 people, more than a dozen of them children, sat inside a coastguard compound, some lying under blankets, in the seaside resort of Didim after being detained.

Scores more waited among boulders by the beach, watched by armed police, as a bus came to take them away.

“We’re afraid of staying here and afraid of staying in Syria ... We’re fleeing to the country that will take us. We want safety, someone to care for us,” said Sameeha Abdullah, one of the group near the beach, who fled Syria’s civil war.

Trump gets closer to nomination Sanders gets surprise victory in Michigan primary over Clinton

MONROE, N.C. — Donald Trump moved closer to capturing the 2016 U.S. Republican presidential nomination with his latest primary victories and on Wednesday urged the forces within the party who Bernie oppose Sanders him to get behind him or risk a loss to Democrats in November.

Chipotle complete after illnesses due to norovirus

BILLERICA, Mass./LOS ANGELES — A health official on Wednesday commended Chipotle Mexican Grill Inc. for its handling of norovirus infections at a Boston-area restaurant, saying employees prevented more problems by calling in sick rather than report to work and that a cleanup of the restaurant was done.

The closure of the Chipotle in Billerica, Massachusetts, was seen as a test of a new food safety system rolled out after a series of illnesses hit the fresh burrito chain last year.

LOS ANGELES — George Martin, the Beatles producer and arranger who supervised most of the band’s era-defining recordings — from “Love Me Do” through the psychedelia of “Sgt.

Starr, the Beatles drummer, spread the word of Martin’s death through a Twitter message late Tuesday.

Desperation sinking in for establishment It is desperation time for the Republican party establishment. Its extremely wellfinanced favorite — Jeb Bush — never got anywhere with the voters in the primaries, and has already been forced out of the contest.

This should at least cause some second thoughts — or perhaps first thoughts — by people who keep repeating that money buys elections. It is one of many theories that seem impervious to evidence.

The desperation of the Republican establishment comes from the fact that the two biggest vote-getters in the Republican primaries — DonThomas ald Trump and Ted Sowell Cruz — are people they do not want to be the Republican candidate for president of the United States.

The immediate panic is over Donald Trump.

His surprising string of victories in the primaries conceals his vulnerability in the general election in November. Most of Trump’s primary victories were with less than 50 percent, and even with less than 40 percent. In the general election, less than 50 percent usually means losing.

Even more important, while Trump’s style and substance may endear him to his followers, both that style and that substance are deeply offensive to many other people. Polls repeatedly show higher negative responses to him than to any other candidate.

Trump is not just in danger of losing this year’s presidential election, which the Republicans would otherwise have a high probability of winning. He can poison the whole Republican brand, taking Republican members of Congress down with him, along with Republican governors and other state and local officials.

Stopping Trump is obviously a high priority for the Republican establishment, as shown by their biggest gun, Mitt Romney, suddenly coming out swinging against Trump in the media.

After Trump’s momentum from his primary victories, it will not be easy to stop him at this point. But the strategy chosen suggests that establishment Republicans have more in mind than just stopping Trump, even if that is job one.

One of the secrets of Donald Trump’s primary victories has been that the majority vote against him has been split among the various other candidates, making him repeatedly a “winner” with a third of the vote or so, but seldom 50 percent.

The most obvious way to stop Trump, if that was the sole objective, would be for the other candidates to drop out of the race, leaving it a Trump versus Cruz contest. But the Republican establishment has chosen the opposite strategy, wanting all the candidates to stay in the race.

That way, if Senator Rubio can win his home state of Florida and Governor John Kasich can win his home state of Ohio, that can deny Trump two important, winner-take-all states.

This may keep him from reaching the number of delegates required to win the Republican nomination. At that point, it becomes anybody’s game at the convention.

If the only objective is to stop Trump, this approach seems less likely to achieve that objective than instead consolidating the nonTrump votes behind one candidate. In a number of the states that Trump won, the combined votes for Cruz and Rubio would have been enough to defeat him.

Now that Rubio is being badly beaten almost everywhere, and is substantially behind Trump in the polls for his own home state of Florida, the most obvious person to have the best chance of beating Trump one-on-one is Ted Cruz, especially after his primary victories over the past weekend.

The Republican establishment is not about to go down that road, even if that would increase their chances of stopping Trump from becoming the Republican nominee. This is because they don’t want Cruz to become the Republican candidate either.

Senator Cruz has been fighting against the Republican establishment for years before Trump decided to become a candidate. Nor does he have Trump’s newfound “flexibility.”

But, whatever his merits or demerits, Ted Cruz is not the Republican establishment’s idea of the kind of candidate needed to win. Neither was Ronald Reagan.

The kinds of candidates the Republican establishment has chosen — from Romney and McCain in recent times, all the way back to Thomas E. Dewey in 1948 — have had an almost unbroken record of losing, even to Democrats who were initially unknown (Carter, Clinton) or unpopular (Obama, Truman).

Farewell to the prince of tides WASHINGTON — Soon after “The Prince of Tides” became a blockbuster movie in 1991, People magazine put the film’s leading man, Nick Nolte, on its cover as the “Sexiest Man Alive.”

This couldn’t possibly be true, I thought (and wrote) at the time. Nolte, who played protagonist Tom Wingo, was a good-looking actor who did well by his role. But what made him sexy was the character created by beloved author Pat Conroy, who died last week.

Conroy, I wrote, was the sexiest man alive.

It was Conroy, after all, who had crafted sentences so sensuously lush and true that they begged to be read aloud. He wrote that “... salmon dreamed of mountain passes and the brown faces of grizzlies hovering over clear rapids. Copperheads … dreamed of placing their fangs in the shinbones of hunters. Ospreys slept with their feathered, plummeting dreamselves screaming through deep, slow-motion dives toward herring.”

It was Conroy who described South Carolina’s seductive lowcountry as something you breathe: “the bold, fecund aroma of the tidal marsh, exquisite and sensual, the smell of the South in heat, a smell like new milk, semen, and spilled wine, all perfumed with seawater.”

Ever after, there would be

“I was waiting …” when he interrupted to complete the sentence: “for your father to die.”

Yes. “I wish I had,” he said.

While he doodled, he liked to talk to his friends.

One can only wish to have had a party line with those two, both raconteurs with razor-sharp vision, wicked senses of humor and a flair for expressing what most others hide or never notice.

The last time I saw Conroy was, alas, nine years ago at Marlette’s funeral, where we were two among 10 eulogists and became forever bonded as members of what Conroy dubbed “Team Marlette.”

Bereft beyond measure, we were nearly staggering with grief and choking on tears as we rendered our words of farewell. Conroy loved how, as we returned to our seats, the others would pat us on the back and offer commendations as though we’d scored a touchdown.

He found this both funny and heartbreakingly lovely.

Now we are heartbroken again, our losing season upon us, another of our most brilliant players down. At least there is consolation in knowing that Conroy and Marlette can roar together now, laughing and weeping at the glory of it all — as ever the envy of the living.

Hispanics are melting into the pot CHICAGO — Last month, my son brought home a note from the “Sociedad de Latinos” — the Hispanic student organization at his high school — asking if he’d like to attend an upcoming informational meeting.

He gave me the slip of paper and told me, in no uncertain terms, that he did not want to (and he did the air quotes thing with his fingers) “get in touch with his Latino roots.”

I was 100 percent OK with that. He’s as in touch with his roots as any kid with a Hispanic mom, two grandparents from Latin America and several trips south of the border can be.

I didn’t grow up stuck on ethnicity labels — evidenced by the fact that I married a white guy and no one in my family even batted an eye — and don’t have an ounce of wistfulness that both my sons see themselves as more white than Hispanic.

And I’m not an anomaly.

In my reporting life, I come across a whole lot of Hispanic people and, when it comes to labels and identity, I’ve spoken to way more who believe in the melting pot than those who think that “melting pot” is a loaded political term synonymous with cultural genocide.

The same goes for the issue

Latinos may be better educated and wealthier than is commonly thought due to a phenomenon called ethnic attrition.

The dynamic comments that people have made on the Pew post explaining these statistics illustrate how fraught and contentious the issue of race and ethnicity can be even among those who make up a particular ethnic or racial category.

And questions about whether either of these phenomena is “good” or “bad” are beside the point.

Last summer, Daniel J. Sharfstein, a legal historian who focuses on race, wrote about heated discussions over who can rightfully claim any racial designation in The New York Times Magazine. He said, “The history of people breaching social divides and fashioning identities for themselves is as old as America.”

And the very promise of America is that anyone can be whatever, or whomever, he or she wants. Is it any wonder that each successive generation chooses differently than what might be expected?

People scoff — or just plain get angry — at the notion that someday Hispanics will melt into the American pot just like the Germans, Irish and Italians before them. But like it or not, that day is undoubtedly coming.

Andrea B. Ciuciu

Department said the same suspects, who are in the United States “temporarily” from Romania, allegedly installed a skimmer at a SunTrust ATM on North Henry Boulevard in

Stockbridge. They were arrested Feb. 20.

“An alert customer noticed the device and contacted police. Officers were able to intercept the suspects’ vehicle when they came back to the location to retrieve the device,” Henry Capt. Joey Smith said. “This skimming device and camera are similar to other devices found in Henry County and metro Atlanta in the past. This is a very active investigation and

may involve other jurisdictions in Atlanta and the state of Georgia.”

Smith said no customer information was compromised in Stockbridge.

That’s apparently not so at the Snellville location.

The warrants list three card numbers the suspects reportedly obtained. A Snellville police report said SunTrust reported 21 cards compromised.

The suspects remained in the Henry County jail Wednesday.

I think they understand and hopefully that is something they will do themselves, because nobody can do it for them.”

Deal, who also visited Suwanee Elementary and Level Creek Elementary on Wednesday, said she hoped to “plant a seed” for children to be in school on a regular basis, and pay attention in every area, from reading to music and sports.

“It makes a difference,” she said.

Deal was escorted around the school by a host of fifth-graders who serve as peer leaders in the school. Yamarie Garba and Bradley Skinner were the

Signs also have been posted in the area to let residents know what happened.

It was the latest in several grease spills that the county has dealt with since late January. In all, there have been about five spills that were caused by grease alone since Jan. 27, and they have sent about 37,098 gallons of sewage into Gwinnett County waterways.

County officials recommend residents pour grease into containers where it can harden then be thrown in the trash.

Another tip they recommend is to wipe table wear and utensils with paper towels that can be thrown in the trash so there is no grease or food debris washed down the drain during the cleaning process.

RAPID RISE

Shiloh grad Lewis makes mark at Mercer, becomes one of top collegiate draft prospects

By David Friedlander

david.friedlander@ gwinnettdailypost.com

DECATUR — Just four short years ago, Kyle Lewis saw basketball as the best possibility to continuing his athletic career to the college level.

He was a solid contributor on Shiloh High School’s stateranked program for his entire career, and at 6-foot-4 Kyle and 210 Lewis pounds, he seemed to have the right combination of size and athleticism to be able to improve his skills further.

But by the end of his junior year of high school, Lewis began to show just as much potential on the baseball diamond.

“I’d say (basketball and baseball) were both equal (in interest),” Lewis said.

“I just kind of wound up playing more basketball (in high school).

“I used to play basketball more, (but) going into my senior year, I played travel ball and I did really well. I was able to get interest from (some) pro teams.”

Now a junior at Mercer University, the 2013 Shiloh grad has realized that potential, and then some, to become one of the top college outfielders in the nation.

Following a 2-for-3 night that included an RBI and a run scored in the Mercer’s 4-3 loss to Georgia State on Tuesday, Lewis leads the Bears in batting average (.460), home runs (5), RBIs (17), total hits (23), doubles (6), extra-base hits (11), slugging percentage (.880) and

on-base percentage (.591).

He is second on the team only to North Gwinnett grad Ryan Hagan in runs scored (17).

Numbers like those, along with Atlantic Sun Conference Freshman of the Year honors in 2014 and the Southern Conference Player of the Year award a year ago, have earned Lewis a spot on the 2016 Golden Spikes Award watchlist for the top college baseball player in the nation and made him a consensus pick in the top 10 eligible college players for this year’s MLB draft.

It’s a remarkable ascent considering he really only started to get serious about baseball during that junior season. In 2012, he combined with strong junior and senior classes which included other collegebound players such as Markus McCorkle (Georgia Gwinnett College), JaMarkus George (Southern University), Jeremy Glore (Southern) and Cletis Avery (Presbyterian) to help the Generals to their first state playoff berth in over a decade.

“He’s young in the baseball world,” Mercer head coach Craig Gibson said of Lewis. “He hasn’t played a lot. He’s just sort of scratching the surface.

He has a high ceiling. You have to give him credit every time he steps on the field. There are 25, 35 guys here. So, it’s a little different than most guys.

“Every at-bat is watched.

Every time he stretches is watched, when he runs to first. But he’s handled it like a true professional, and he’s probably the best kid I’ve ever coached talent-wise.”

That talent began to be cultivated those last two season of high school, when he was named

second-team All-County by the Daily Post.

But he realized he still had plenty to learn once he got down to Mercer’s campus in Macon. For one thing, he had to learn a new position, as he moved to the outfield after playing first base through high school.

“When I first came (to Mercer) I was in left (field),” Lewis said. “They just threw me out in the fire. It was a transition at first, but I just tried to stay after (practices) and put in extra work. I’ve spent three years (in the outfield), and I’m kind of catching on now.”

He’s eventually gotten the hang of things in the outfield, moving from left to center this season and sporting a perfect 1.000 fielding percentage thus far.

And the learning curve didn’t affect his hitting his first two season, as he improved from .281, 2 homers and 17 RBIs as a freshman to .367, 17 homers and 56 RBIs to lead the team in each category as a sophomore last year. The 17 homers led the Southern Conference and ranked seventh nationally.

But it was the postseason last year when Lewis really began to blossom.

After helping the Bears to the Southern Conference Tournament title with three hits, including a homer, and six RBIs in four games, he got plenty of exposure when he and the Bears played in an NCAA Regional in Tallahassee, Fla. Though Mercer was eliminated in two onerun games, the nation got its first real close look at Lewis, a look that was only enhanced when he played in the prestigious Cape Cod summer league and earned All-Star status last summer.

The rapidness of his development has surprised even Gibson, who saw plenty of potential from the first time he laid eyes on Lewis as a basketball player in high school.

“He’s a great athlete,” Gibson said. “We thought he was a little ways off on his skill level for our sport, but honestly I thought when it caught up with his talent, he’d be really good.

“I wish I could say I thought he was going to be this good, but it’s happened a little quicker than we thought. He showed glimpses of being really special (as a freshman). …

Of course, he built on it the second year. Last year he’s (SoCon) Player of the Year and goes up and has a great summer at the Cape (Cod League).”

As both Gibson and Lewis both acknowledge, there’s still even more room for improvement, something both are determined to work on to help Lewis maximize his chances to become the latest in a fairly large recent line of Mercer players to make it in pro baseball, including Oakland A’s outfielder Billy Burns and San Francisco Giants pitcher Cory Gearrin.

“As far as continuing to develop, I think I just need to continue to refine my overall game,” Lewis said.

“I think I’m good at every aspect and I can impact that game in multiple ways. I kind of need to shore up everything.

“I definitely think about (this summer’s draft).

It’s not like it’s a secret or anything like that. But right now, I just want to go day-by-day and come out here and play. The reality is, I’m still trying to have a good season out here and just to play for my team and help us win games.”

Emily Clarke still roams the Gwinnett County basketball courts she played on close to 10 years ago and still gets recognized regularly, though she’s traded in the blue and white jersey of South Gwinnett for a striped referee jersey.

Many of the familiar faces the 2007 South grad sees are fellow referees who used to work her high school games. Fortunately, she treated them well.

“I always felt I was pretty calm and collected with the officials,” Clarke said. “(Fellow MultiCounty Basketball Officials Association referee) John (Woods) still gives me a hard time sometimes. He refereed our games in high school. I’ll recognize guys and work with them. They kind of recognize you. Luckily, there are no horror stories there so far.”

Clarke always wanted to stay involved in basketball when her playing days were finished, but assumed coaching would be her avenue. The thought process changed in 2012, when she gave being a basketball official a shot.

It seems like a perfect fit for Clarke, a doeverything player during her own basketball career.

She played professionally for a season in England and also in 126 games at Western Carolina, making the All-Southern Conference Team twice and the All-Freshman Team in 2007-08.

That came on the heels of a high school career that saw her help South in a multitude of ways, both inside and out. She averaged 14.1 points, 7.6 rebounds and 3.4 assists as a senior for a balanced Comet team that made the state championship game her final two seasons, only to lose both times to Collins Hill and Maya Moore, now a WNBA star and Olympic gold medalist. “(Moore’s) career now makes it at least hurt a little less,” said Clarke, who scored more than 1,500 points in her high school career.

If Moore hadn’t been around, Clarke’s Comets may have been a two-time state champion under longtime and now retired South coach Mike Allison, who could get a little fired up with the officials in his day.

“I probably would have given him a few warnings

Will Hammock some games,” Clarke said.

“For the most part, he was good. (South assistant Jaime) Kruppa, Fisher as it is now, she might have gotten T’ed a couple of times (laughs). I think she knows that.”

Fisher, now the head girls coach at Lambert, is proud of Clarke’s work as an official, saying she’s “a good one.” That’s the hope for Clarke, who works regularly to improve her skills.

Her referee schedule features mostly games in and around Gwinnett with Multi-County, including high school, AAU, travel ball, camps and recreational league games. With each game, she transitions more from player to official.

“The biggest thing is just knowing now what officials are looking at as far as just judgment calls, but also just knowing their coverage areas and where they’re actually looking during the play,” Clarke said. “Not every official is supposed to be looking at the ball all the time. So just knowing they’re not always looking directly at you when you have the ball. That and some of the more technical rules. Getting more into the rulebook as opposed to just general knowledge when you’re playing.”

Clarke’s full-time job with an online retailer allows the flexibility to work basketball games, keeping her schedule pretty busy. She enjoys the local work as an official, though she hopes to take it to higher levels in the future.

“I think I’m going to stick with (being an official),” Clarke said.

“I’ve enjoyed it so far.

Hopefully soon I’ll try to take it to the next level and maybe get picked up by either JUCO or lower level NCAA conferences, like D-III or D-II. I’ve enjoyed it. It’s definitely a different side of the ball.”

4 area wrestlers headed to NCAAs

By Will Hammock

will.hammock@ gwinnettdailypost.com

Ryan Millhof and Sean Russell met as 5-year-olds learning wrestling for the first time at Dacula High School under a coaching staff that included both of their fathers.

They continued training together over the years and were high school teammates at Collins Hill, squaring off against each other regularly in practices and in meets. As high school freshmen — before Millhof transferred from Archer to Collins Hill — he beat Russell in the state finals. The two, always in similar weight classes, also met in the finals of the Super 32 Challenge.

Their next meeting could be the most interesting one of all.

Both Millhof and Russell won their conference titles and were automatic qualifiers as 125-pounders into next week’s NCAA Division I Wrestling Championships, hosted this year by New York City’s Madison Square Garden.

“It wouldn’t shock me (to face Russell in NCAAs),” said Millhof, a sophomore at Oklahoma.

“No matter what, we always find a way to wrestle each other. It wouldn’t shock me.”

“It definitely could happen,” said Russell, a redshirt freshman at Edinboro (Pa.). “We’re great friends, but when we wrestle we’ll try to rip each other’s heads off. And afterward we’ll go back to being great friends.”

Millhof and Russell are part of a history-making Gwinnett foursome headed to NCAAs, which are March 17-19. They are the first two wrestlers from the perennially strong Collins Hill program to qualify for Division I nationals. They are joined by automatic qualifier Kamaal Shakur of Parkview and at-large selection Chip Ness of Buford, giving Gwinnett a best-ever four wrestlers at the prestigious NCAA meet.

Stevens selected for national camp From Staff Reports Grayson senior Ella Stevens is one of 26 soccer players invited to the upcoming U.S. Under-19 Women’s National Team training camp, which begins Saturday and runs through March 19 in Northern California.

Stevens, a Duke signee,

and the other players in the camp will compete in front of national team Ella coaches, Stevens who will fill a roster out later for the 2016 FIFA U-20 Women’s

World Cup, to be held in Papua New Guinea in November.

Stevens is the reigning Georgia Gatorade Player of the Year after helping Grayson to last year’s Class AAAAAA state title.

The midfielder entered her senior season with 48 goals and 72 assists in her high school career.

She is one of two Georgia natives chosen for the U-19 camp — the other is Alabama freshman forward Emma Welch, who played high school soccer at Locust Grove. Of the 26 players at the camp, eight are midfielders, eight are defenders, seven are forwards and three are goalkeepers.

highest paid center in the NFL again at $10 million per season.

The 6-foot-4, 311-pound Mack had to make a decision on the opt-out by March 4 with unrestricted free agency beginning March 9. His contract dictated that he could not be tagged with the transition or franchise tag.

The Falcons also released nose tackle Paul Soliai and agreed to terms with quarterback Matt Schaub, who returns to the franchise that selected him in the third round of the 2004 NFL Draft.

Schaub played three seasons for Atlanta, starting two of the 38 games he appeared in and throwing for 1,033 yards and six touchdowns. Stuck behind Michael Vick on the depth chart at the time, Schaub was traded to the Houston Texans in 2007 and went on to start 88 of 90 games for the team. Meanwhile, the Falcons turned to Joey

Harrington in 2007 while Vick was suspended and ultimately selected Matt Ryan in the first round the following year.

Schaub played in 11 games for the Oakland Raiders in 2014 and started twice for the Baltimore Ravens last season but has struggled with interceptions and durability — throwing 20 picks against 13 touchdowns in 23 games over the past three years.

Now, Schaub returns to Atlanta to compete for the job as Ryan’s backup.

Soliai’s release was expected, with agent David Canter telling ESPN.com last month that after “positive conversation” with the Falcons regarding a pay cut, the two sides could not agree to terms.

Designated a post-June 1 cut, the Falcons will save $5,437,500 against the 2016 cap as opposed to $2,637,500 by just releasing him now, according to ESPN.

Hershman leads Norcross shuts out Forsyth Central Lions to 6-2 win PREP ROUNDUP

By David Friedlander

david.friedlander@ gwinnettdailypost.com

LAWRENCEVILLE — Four batters into Wednesday’s game against Wesleyan, it looked like a long afternoon for Hebron Christian pitcher Jake Hershman and his teammates.

But after allowing four hits and two runs over those hitters, the senior right-hander settled down, allowing just one more hit the rest of the way.

Meanwhile, the Lions’ bats provided plenty of support with 14 hits, including two each from five different batters, as defending Class A (Private) state runner-up Hebron handed the defending AA state champion Wolves their first loss of this season 6-2 at Georgia Gwinnett College.

In all, Hershman (4-0) allowed just five hits and two runs and struck out five in the complete-game victory.

“Jake’s a really good pitcher, and he’s made quality starts all year for us,” Hebron coach Ben Drust said after his team improved to 8-2 on the young season. “He got some pitches up in the zone (early), and he made some adjustments on his own without a mound visit or anything. So, it was a great job by him.

“Offensively, we had a plan, and the guys did a great job of sticking to the plan and executing it.”

It looked like Wesleyan (8-1) was zoned in on Hershman right from his first pitch, which Colin Hall roped into left-center for a lead-off double.

Jake McCleskey and Drew Aspinwall then followed with hits, with Aspinwall’s double driving in Hall and McCleskey to put Wesleyan up 2-0, and it looked like the Wolves were poised for more even after Aspinwall

was picked off first when Mikey Olson followed with a single.

But Hershman recovered to get Michael Payne to ground out, and then got a piece of Cole Mannion’s hard grounder up the middle to deflect it to Steven Casey, who threw on to first to help his pitcher and the Lions avoid further trouble.

And when Hebron’s offense got one of those runs back on singles form Spence Johns and Caleb Martin, plus a Wesleyan error, in the bottom of the first to cut the deficit to 2-1, Hershman went out to the mound in the second with a much larger comfort zone.

“My teammates starting hitting the ball, and it made me more confident, I guess. It wasn’t a solo effort,” Hershman said.

“I (figured) out that they (Wesleyan) are fastball hitters, and off-speed (pitches were) the way to go — curveball, changeup. It was the best I could do, and then I spotted my fastball (better).”

The Hebron bats continued to chip away at Wesleyan starter Jordan Ward with some clutch hitting with two outs over the next four innings.

Casey first tied the game 2-2 by blooping a two-out, RBI single into center in the bottom of the second before two more two-out, RBI hits from James Civelli and Christian Marquez the next inning put the Lions in front 4-2.

Hebron then took advantage of a wild pitch and an error to in the fourth and Stevens’ second two-out RBI single in the fourth to take on single runs in each inning to push its advantage to 6-2.

And that was all Hershman would need, as the 6-foot-1 right-hander retired 18 of 19 Wesleyan hitters after the Wolves’ initial outburst.
