Virus quarantine hotel collapses in China, trapping 70 people Search and rescue efforts were underway after about 70 people were trapped in a hotel collapse Saturday in southeastern China, officials in the city of Quanzhou said.

The hotel was used as a coronavirus quarantine center, People’s Daily and other state media outlets confirmed.

Thirty-three people had been rescued from the debris by 8:30 a.m. ET, the city’s government said in a statement.

Another 10 were rescued over the next three hours, People’s Daily reported, and search efforts were ongoing.

Quanzhou is about 600 miles from Wuhan, the epicenter of the COVID-19 outbreak in China, where more than 3,000 people have died from the virus.

No fatalities have been reported in the building collapse.

It wasn’t immediately clear why the building collapsed.

US Navy sailor in Italy tests positive for coronavirus A U.S. Navy sailor stationed in Naples, Italy, has tested positive for coronavirus, marking the first positive case for a U.S. servicemember stationed in Europe, according to a statement from U.S. European Command and U.S. Naval Forces Europe-Africa.

The servicemember, stationed at a naval support facility in Naples, tested positive Friday and is currently restricted to their residence, according to the statement, receiving medical and other support in accordance with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and Italian guidelines.

Authorities said health professionals from the U.S. military are conducting what they call “a thorough contact investigation” to determine if any other personnel may have been exposed.

Greek forces strip migrants, send them back in underwear Several migrants attempting to cross from Turkey to Greece told CNN over the past week that Greek security forces took their documents, money, phones and clothes before sending them back to Turkey in their underwear.

CNN has obtained a video showing men in their underpants arriving back on Turkish soil, allegedly sent back through Evros River, with no clothes by Greek security forces. The river, known as Meriç in Turkey, forms the natural border between both countries.

The video was captured by Turkish state broadcaster TRT. CNN cannot independently verify this specific video or circumstances surrounding how it was shot. But human rights groups like Amnesty International have documented dozens of similar refugee testimonies in recent years — which Greek authorities have repeatedly denied.

Greece and Turkey have been at odds over immigration policy after thousands of migrants gathered at the border between the two countries last week.

Joe Biden campaign launches largest ad buy in ’20 election

By Sarah Mucha CNN

Former Vice President Joe Biden has launched his largest ad buy so far in the 2020 election, investing $12 million on advertising that will air ahead of the March 10 and 17 primaries, a Biden campaign aide confirmed to CNN. The two ads, first reported by the Associated Press, will play on digital platforms YouTube, Facebook and Instagram and in television markets in Michigan, Missouri, Mississippi, which vote on March 10, and Florida, Illinois and Ohio, which head to the polls on March 17. The former vice president is set to campaign in Missouri and Mississippi this weekend and heads to Michigan and Ohio early next week. He is expected to hit all six states before March 17.

“Always,” a new ad, responds directly to Biden’s primary rival Sen. Bernie Sanders, who has ramped up his criticism of the former vice president on the campaign trail and recently launched an ad in the upcoming primary contests hitting Biden on his social security record. “Bernie Sanders goes on the attack,” a narrator says. “Politifact has called the Sanders campaign attacks false.” It continues to defend Biden’s record on

social security. “Joe Biden has always been a strong supporter of social security. Biden will increase Social Security benefits and protect it for generations to come.”

“Negative ads will only help Donald Trump,” the narrator ends. “It’s time we bring our party together.”

While Sanders has hit Biden on his social security record for months, the attacks have increased since the primary has narrowed to a two-man contest after Biden emerged victorious

on Super Tuesday, winning 10 out of 14 states that day.

Calling into a Bethesda, Maryland, fundraiser Friday evening, the former vice president said he anticipated criticism from Sanders and warned against a “negative bloodbath” in the primary.

“What we can’t let happen is let this primary become a negative bloodbath,” Biden said, according to a pool report.

“It’s going to be hard. This guy’s going to come at me and throw everything, including the kitchen sink,” he added

The number of U.S .coronavirus cases more than tripled last week, and local officials are asking thousands of residents to stay indoors to stop the spread of the disease.

More than 400 people have tested positive in the United States and at least 19 people have died from the illness, most of them from Washington state.

But positive tests are com-

later. “I don’t mean Bernie, I mean in the general election. But Bernie is going to throw — he’ll at least throw the dishwasher at me.”

The second spot, “Service,” highlights Biden’s time as President Barack Obama’s vice president as he continues to seize on his ties to the most popular figure in the Democratic primary. It features Biden receiving the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2017 from Obama, who calls Biden the “finest vice president we have ever seen.”

Malone denies drug use after fans express concern for his health

Post Malone interrupted a performance Friday to reassure fans he’s fine amid online speculation about his health.

“I’m not on drugs and I feel the best I’ve ever f---- felt in my life,” the rapper and singer said at FedExForum in Memphis, Tennessee.

Fans had taken to social media to express concern about his health after videos surfaced that showed Malone apparently struggling to pick up a microphone, slurring his words, rolling his eyes and falling.

Malone on Friday assured fans that the behavior was simply part of the show.

It took a billboard, social media campaign and more than five years of searching. But doggo Merrick finally found his furrever home.

The six-year-old pup had lived at the Humane Society of Greater Kansas City for most of his life, and was the longest resident there. The shelter had tried everything to get him adopted, and on Wednesday they finally succeeded.

“It was love at first sight,” Jordan Nussbaum, Merrick’s new owner, told CNN affiliate KMBC. Before coming to the shelter, Merrick was abandoned at a garage sale. He also had a giant abscess on the side of his face, which required corrective surgery.

Although Merrick received a lot of attention (and even fan art), it still took time to find him the ideal living situation. But shelter staff never lost hope.

And judging from Merrick’s face, he seems pretty thankful, too.

Merrick has spent the past five years in a shelter. The dog finally found a home. ing from all parts of the country. Utah officials reported the state’s first case Friday, a patient over 60 who’d just returned from a cruise ship that’s now facing an outbreak off California’s coast.

That same day, Florida reported its first two deaths, both patients who had recently traveled internationally.

And outbreak clusters have developed rapidly in the past days.

A cruise ship with thousands aboard and 21 infected with the virus is coming closer to land as one passenger required medical assistance, the captain announced in a video sent to CNN. Of the 16 coronavirus deaths in Washington state, at least 10 have been associated with Life Care Center in suburban Seattle, according to the King County Health Department.

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced 21 new cases on Saturday, bringing the state’s total to 76.

The rising number of cases prompted the governor to declare a state of emergen-

cy, which permits officials to hasten purchasing, hiring and testing protocols related to the disease.

Meals meant for festival instead going to first responders Amid growing coronavirus fears, the annual Arnold Sports Festival in Ohio was prohibited from allowing general spectators. The change left the festival with a bunch of food — but no one to eat it.

The event — a multi-sport festival that includes the Arnold Classic, a bodybuilding competition named after Arnold Schwarzenegger — takes place every year in Columbus, Ohio. This year, however, Ohio authorities prohibited general spectators from attending the festival because of coronavirus.

The change left the festival with enough food to accommodate the 200,000 people that typically attend. Instead of throwing it away, the festival found a better use: sending the meals to tornado victims in Nashville.

The plan was to feed first responders and others Saturday evening.

Franken: ‘Of course’ I miss being in the Senate Former Democratic Sen. Al Franken of Minnesota said he missed serving in the Senate and urged 2020 Democratic hopefuls to focus their campaigns on disparaging President Donald Trump, including his response to the coronavirus outbreak.

When asked by CNN’s Chris Cuomo on Friday whether he missed being a senator, Franken replied, “Yeah, of course I do.”

“I could do stuff for people,” he said on “Cuomo Prime Time,” pointing to his work on health care spending requirements in the Affordable Care Act as an example of a “big thing.”

Franken, who had previously referenced how he had been busy working on a podcast, added, “That’s what I’m doing now, is trying to make a difference in a whole bunch of different ways.”

In December 2017, Franken announced his resignation, following allegations that he had touched women inappropriately, in an emotional address on the Senate floor in which he also said some of the allegations against him weren’t true.

More than one in four men (28%) around the world think it’s acceptable to crack sexual jokes at work, a new global survey has found.

In a survey of over 20,000 people in 27 countries, researchers from King’s College London said they found “significant differences” in what men and women perceived to be acceptable workplace behavior.

A key finding was that more than one in eight men (13%) think it is acceptable to display material of a sexual nature at work, compared with just 7% of women, the poll, carried out by Ipsos MORI and The Lil Uzi Vert drops Global institute for Women’s ‘Eternal Atake,’ his Leadership found. second studio album Some 16% of women thought it was acceptable to tell jokes It’s been almost three years or stories of a sexual nature at since Lil Uzi Vert lit up the sumwork, the study said. mer with “XO Tour Llif3.” Now, the rapper is officially back.

Original owner of Pets.com buys rare game console for $360,000

By Shannon Liao CNN Business

One of the last known copies of a video game console that never came to market, the Nintendo Play Station, sold for $360,000 at auction.

Video game collector Greg McLemore, who founded Pets. com and Toys.com during the dot-com boom, won the console, outbidding other collectors including Oculus VR founder Palmer Luckey.

“It’s the single most expensive

MUST READ thing I’ve ever bought outside of a house,” McLemore told CNN Business in an email. “I believe I got a great deal... To me it was worth it, especially when combined with the rest of my collection, the whole of which tells a story I want to save for society.”

McLemore’s collection includes coin-operated arcade games like Atari’s “Pong,” which is the first commercially successful video game.

The Nintendo Play Station is

believed to be the only prototype left of a failed partnership between Sony and Nintendo. Nintendo Play Station is a common nickname for what was actually supposed to be a version of the Super Nintendo Entertainment System that supported CDs. The two video game giants announced in 1991 they would work together but only produced 200 units before the deal fell through.

“The other 199 prototypes purported to exist were allegedly destroyed when the partnership between Nintendo and

Sony was officially severed, and, though it isn’t certain, it is entirely possible this unit narrowly missed that fate,” Valarie McLeckie, consignment director of video games at Heritage Auctions, which held the auction for the console, said in a press release.

Afterwards, Sony focused on its own line of consoles and released its first Playstation heritage auctions/ha.com in 1994.

One of the last known copies of a video McLemore said the console game console that never came to market will show up in various exhibisold for $360,000 at auction. tions in the near future.

Generics not sure thing when prescription patents expire

TODAY

62 37

D

EAR DR. ROACH: In these days of quickly rising drug costs, some companies lose their patents, allowing for generic versions, but others do not.

I use a brand-name HFA inhaler for my COPD, and it should have gone off patent eight years ago. What change could possibly keep it under patent two times?

— J.C.A. Roach ANSWER: All patents for drugs expire, but in order for a generic drug to be approved, it must pass stringent testing by the Food and Drug Administration. One commonly used combination inhaler, Advair, went off patent in 2010, but no generic was approved until 2019. Since brand-name Advair is expensive ($440 per inhaler, which lasts a month, at Goodrx.com), many patients were anxiously awaiting a generic alternative. It’s finally available (fluticasone/ salmeterol) for about $115 an inhaler on GoodRx. Manufacturers do sometimes change the drug slightly to extend their patents of their best-selling drugs.

For many years the Prilosec brand of omeprazole was very expensive. Just before a generic became available, the manufacturer released a new drug, esomeprazole (Nexium). It is almost exactly the same drug.

DEAR DR. ROACH: Can radiation cause diverticulitis?

— S.W. ANSWER: Radiation damage to the colon is common when higher doses of radiation are used, especially in treatment of cancer of the prostate, rectum, anus, cervix, uterus, bladder and testes. Radiation can damage any cell, but some cell types are more susceptible to radiation damage. Fastgrowing cells — many cancer cells, but also normal cells such as the lining of the intestines — are more readily damaged by radiation.

The blood vessels also may be damaged, leading to further loss of healthy tissue.

Over time, mild and moderate acute damage usually repairs itself, but severe damage can lead to chronic radiation-induced symptoms that last for many years. The most common symptoms in acute radiation damage are bowel symptoms, like diarrhea, mucus and urgency.

People with chronic disease are more likely to have bleeding in addition to the other symptoms.

Diverticula are pouches in the wall of the colon. These appear in many people, especially as we age, and are more likely in people with a history of constipation or straining. The condition of having diverticula is called diverticulosis. These diverticula may become inflamed due to damage of the lining by food particles or by high amounts of pressure in the colon. Small perforations can result, leading to symptoms of pain, nausea and vomiting, and fever. This is called diverticulitis.

The lining of the diverticula themselves are susceptible to radiation damage, so people with diverticulosis may certainly develop damage to the diverticula along with the rest of the colon, but it isn’t likely since the part of the colon typically exposed to radiation during treatment is usually the end of the colon, the rectum, which is not an area that typically has much diverticulosis. The sigmoid colon, higher up in the colon, is the most common place for diverticula.

But radiation doesn’t cause the diverticula nor typical diverticulitis.

COLUMNIST I AMY DICKINSON

Divorcee wants man to leave parents behind

D

EAR AMY: I have been divorced for a year (my ex-husband cheated on me for years before I found out).

I am currently dating a man, “Bobby,” who lives two hours away. He owns his own business and pays his own bills BUT he still lives with his parents. Bobby is 43. He stated that there was no reason for him to move out (the business he owns is located on their property).

I am having a really hard time with that. I have been on my own since the age of 15, so I do not understand this.

Bobby’s two older sisters are married with children and all live within a few miles of the family home.

Also, my 16-year-old daughter refuses to acknowledge Bobby. She was the one who caught my ex-husband (her father) cheating — in fact, she caught him multiple times.

I know she needs adjustment time, but it has been a year since the divorce, which she wholeheartedly wanted and pushed for.

I have been dating Bobby for nine months now.

Advice on both issues, please...?

— Wondering Woman DEAR WONDERING: Let’s start with your daughter. She is the most important

person in this extended story.

She discovered her father cheating on her mother. She then endured an (I assume) Dickinson extended period where her parents were in the process of separation and divorce.

You have now chosen to engage in a relationship with a man who lives two hours away.

This relationship is time-consuming and (I assume) you are devoting a lot of energy into trying to make it work.

You have been on your own since the age of 15. Are you expecting the same level of independence from your daughter?

I have news for you — you could bring George Clooney over to the house and she wouldn’t acknowledge him. She wants you right now.

In terms of “Bobby,” here’s what you know: He lives with his folks. He always has and — if you two stay together — he will expect you to, also.

DEAR AMY: My wife and I have planned a very special 10-day tour of Europe with our granddaughter.

She lives across the country and despite the distance we are on very good terms. We want to use this trip as additional bonding.

I just learned that a friend of ours, independently and coincidentally, has booked the same tour to take with his wife and granddaughter. While this is nice, my wife and I do not want to spend every waking hour on the tour with them, or have our granddaughter spend every waking hour with their granddaughter, who she does not even know. How do we tell them that we want separate bonding time? We are wondering how to say “no.”

— Want to Say No. DEAR NO: I don’t think you should say “no.” I think you should consider saying, “Yes!” Your friends likely have a similar bonding goal for their trip, as well as similar anxieties about your family group’s possible encroachment onto their time. Assume that they share your concerns — send clear cues, read their cues, and map out some time for just the three of you.

You could readily share your concerns ahead of time by saying, “I assume that you are all eager to get some special bonding time with just your granddaughter. We want that, too, and want you to know that we’ll respect your family time — and we’re going to try to carve out family time for our little group, too.”

If you feel you are being glommed onto during the trip,

here’s how you say “no”: “We’ve already made a solid plan of our own for today. But let’s meet up for tea or drinks later on.”

If these two girls hit it off, it could end up being really fun and memorable for both of them. Trips to Europe with the grandparents are wonderful, but — who is going to hold the selfie stick while they pose in front of the Eiffel Tower?

I suggest that you remind yourself to be flexible on this nice vacation.

DEAR AMY: A recent question from “Survivor” detailed horrific abuse during childhood. This got me wondering how you handle the burden of so many sad stories?

— Wondering Reader DEAR WONDERING: My own childhood (challenging, but happy) conditioned me toward empathy. My adulthood (challenging, but very happy) has taught me compassion. I feel honored that people who have suffered so much let their stories tumble out. They are far braver than I am.

Gwinnett County police are close to identifying the suspect believed to have stolen checks from a home in Suwanee.

Police close to identifying suspect who forged more than $3K in stolen checks

By Chamian Cruz chamian.cruz@gwinnettdailypost.com

Gwinnett County police have a lead on a suspect who allegedly stole checks from the mailbox of a Suwanee home and forged his way to more than $3,000.

Police said the suspect will be identified once he is charged.

According to the police report, a man reported he had four checks, amounting to $745, stolen from his mailbox on Lake Haven Way on Jan. 21. The checks were supposed to be picked up by the United States Postal Service and mailed to their intended recipients.

The man told police he left his home around 11:30 a.m. When he returned a few hours later, he noticed the lid on his mailbox was down with the flag up. His mail was gone, and he noticed several other mailboxes on the street were the same way.

The man said he checked with the

QUALIFY From A1 Democrats as “demonrats” and “libtards” surfaced.

In recent weeks, Hunter had been on the fence about whether he would run again, saying “I really want to” at Chairwoman Charlotte Nash’s State of the County address in mid-February, but adding he and his wife were still discussing whether he should run again.

Since Hunter did not qualify, that means every county commission seat on this year’s ballot will be open.

Ultimately, five Democrats and three Republicans are running to replace Hunter. Qualifying ended at noon Friday.

Meanwhile, Schrader will have to face Gwinnett Magistrate Court Judge Deborah Fluker, as well as attorney and former Snellville Mayor Kelly Kautz and attorneys B.T. Parker and Christa Kirk.

Schrader is set to go on trial again in late April, weeks before the nonpartisan judicial elections.

The only other Gwinnett Superior Court judge who picked up an opponent is Judge Randy Rich. He will face Lawrencevillebased attorney Tamela Adkins.

Superior Court judges Karen E. Beyers, Tadia Whitner, Ronnie Batchelor and Warren Davis are running unopposed for their respective seats on the bench.

businesses that were supposed to receive the checks and was told they had not been delivered.

Police said the suspect visited The Home Depot on Stone Mountain Highway the day after the checks were stolen and made a purchase of more than $3,000 using the victim’s information. The suspect or suspects then returned the purchased items for cash.

Anyone with information is asked to call the Gwinnett County Police Department at 770-513-5300. Tipsters can remain anonymous by calling Crime Stoppers at 404-577-8477 or by visiting www.stopecrimeATL.com.

Crime Stoppers tipsters can receive a cash reward for information leading to an arrest and indictment in this case. The case number is 20008850 The USPS suggests placing outgoing mail in a USPS collection box or hand-delivering it at your local Post Office to protect against identity theft.

The judicial elections are non-partisan and will therefore be wrapped up in the May 19 election.

Some of the other surprises that came out of qualifying week included: Jacqueline Tseng, who had campaigned for the 7th Congressional District seat, qualified as a Republican for county commission District 1, and Brooke Siskin, who had been campaigning for the open county commission chairman’s seat, qualified to run for the 9th Congressional District seat — which does not represent any part of Gwinnett.

Meanwhile, each party will have a contested primary race for Gwinnett County sheriff with four Democrats and two Republicans running for the seat.

In addition to qualifying for the May 19 primary, the state also held qualifying for the special election to fill the Senate seat currently held by U.S. Sen. Kelly Loeffler, but that election will not be held until November.

Loeffler will face U.S. Rep. Doug Collins, R-Ga.; Raphael Warnock; Derrick Grayson; Lilburn resident Annette Davis Jackson; A. Wayne Johnson; Kandiss Taylor; Deborah Jackson; Jamesia James; Tucker resident Tamara Johnson-Shealey; Matt Lieberman; Joy Felecia Slade; Ed Tarver; Richard Dien Winfield; Brian Slowinski; Al Bartell; Allen Buckley; Michael Todd Greene; Valencia Stovall; John “Green” Fortuin; and Rod Mack.

BBQ From A1 into barbecue and the competition, and it’s catching on,” Lloyd said.

The addition of the Kids Q is an example of the event’s continued growth in five years. Over the last four years, the event has raised $150,000 for Home of Hope at Gwinnett Children’s Shelter. More than 15,000 attendees came last year, and Lloyd expected at least another 12,000 this year.

For the fifth festival, Lloyd said 102 barbecue teams attended with 125 vendors setting up booths in the parking lot outside the Gwinnett Stripers’ stadium. Lloyd said all of the proceeds benefit Home of Hope.

Lloyd and his wife are also a cook team at Sip & Swine. Their trailer is decorated with their team name “Swine and Shine.” There are two brackets of competitors, Backyard and Pro. Stan Kaminski is an amateur at barbecue, but he has the clout of a pro. The Forsyth County resident has been grilling competitively for six years and organizes the Great Georgia BBQ Festival in Cumming and Hawgin’ on Lanier in Hall County. In his division, contestants submitted a batch of ribs, chicken and pork.

Kaminski explained the gamewithin-the-game of barbecue competitions. He said backyard grillers sometimes chase a “competition” flavor by replicating the recipes of past champions.

“What you’re going to like and what I’m going to like may be two different things, so it depends on the flavor profile,” Kaminski said. “It’s a challenge.”

The Sip & Swine BBQ Festival in Lawrenceville hosted its first Kids Q, featuring aspiring pitmasters under 16 years old. competitively since 1998. In the professional division, they entered chicken, ribs, pork and brisket.

The Terrys said the quality and flavor of meat is not the biggest distinction between pro and backyard grillers. Trey Terry said he and his wife compete about 18 times per year, where most backyard grillers can make it out to a handful of local competitions.

The Terrys have a few small sponsors for their equipment, but grilling is not their full-time gig. Meg Terry teaches special education at Lanier High School and Trey Terry is a facilities manager with United Rentals. Meg Terry said they start getting the grilling bug whenever they win

VIRUS

BASIC PREVENTATIVE MEASURES The Department of Public Health said all Georgians should follow basic prevention measures: ♦ wash your hands often with soap and warm water for at least twenty seconds. ♦ if soap and water are not available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer. ♦ avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth with unwashed hands. ♦ avoid close contact with people who are sick. ♦ stay home when you are sick. ♦ cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, then throw the tissue in the trash. ♦ clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces.

From A1 the general public remains low and there is no evidence of community spread of COVID-19 in Georgia at this time.

“Despite these new cases, the overall risk of COVID-19 to the general public remains low; but each new case of COVID-19 in Georgia reinforces the fact that we should all be practicing basic prevention measures that are extremely effective in limiting the spread of COVID-19 and all respiratory illnesses,” said Kathleen E. Toomey, MD, MPH, DPH Commissioner.

a few successive competitions.

Then they try to fit more into their busy schedules.

Although their home is a 20-minute drive from Coolray Field, they parked their trailer, slept in bunk beds and woke up at 3:30 a.m. on Saturday to prepare their barbecue. They followed a strict schedule they printed out and covered in plastic inside their trailer.

That’s the Buford couple’s advice to backyard grillers looking to take the leap up: get organized and keep having fun.

“When you win once, it puts a little pep in your step,” Trey Terry said. “You start getting in the groove, like golf.”

People who develop fever with cough and shortness of breath with 14 days of traveling to countries with widespread cases of COVID-19 are asked to stay home and call a health care provider or lo-

cal health department right away.

Symptomatic people should call before going to a doctor’s office, emergency room or urgent care center and tell them about your recent travel and symptoms.

Gwinnett Dems look ahead as party’s presidential options shrink

By Curt Yeomans curt.yeomans@ gwinnettdailypost.com

The news on Thursday that U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren was dropping her bid to be the Democratic Party’s nominee for president was both bad and good news to Duluth resident Susan Clymer.

Clymer was a big Warren supporter so it wasn’t news she was happy to hear.

At the same time, however, the major Susan shrinking of Clymer the presidential field that occurred over the last week gives Clymer more time to focus on local races in Georgia — which is another aspect of politics that is important to her.

“While I’m in mourning about Elizabeth — I really loved her authenticity and the whole nine yards — I’m relieved that we’re now at two-person, or at least narrower, race,” Clymer said.

“Because of the presidential race, and the Trump tweets, it sucks the oxygen out of people’s breathing of politics and it makes it hard to focus.

We have so many amazing races here in Gwinnett and also have an important Sen-

ate race ... (but) people really aren’t focused on that.

They’re so focused on the presidential primary.

“I guess in a practical sense, I’m relieved because ... I think other people can now have more bandwidth to look at other races.”

In the span of six days, Gwinnett County Democrats saw their options for president drop by five candidates — just as early voting for the March 24 presidential preference primary began this past week.

Warren and fellow U.S. Sen. Amy Klobuchar, former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, former South Bend, Ind. Mayor Pete Buttigieg and billionaire philanthropist Tom Steyer dropped out between Feb. 29 and March 5.

It is now essentially a two-man race between former VicePresident Joe Bernie Biden and Sanders U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vermont, U.S. Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, D-Hawaii, is also still in the race, but she trails Biden and Sanders significantly in the delegate count.

“I think there’s a lot of grief going around right now and folks are trying to gather

their thoughts about how they feel and what they want to do,” said Gwinnett Democratic Party ChairJoe Biden woman Bianca Keaton, who is officially staying neutral due to her position in the party.

“I see a lot of Warren supporters online, trying to figure out where they want to go. Is it going to be Biden?

Is it going to be Bernie?”

Snellville resident Antonio Molina has been leaning toward Biden for a few months, but kept an open mind about other candidates who he thought might also be viable nominees. He is now being more open about his support for the former vicepresident, however.

Molina said he sees the Antonio contraction Molina of the field as a good thing.

“You’re reducing the number of ways that you’re going to split the vote,” Molina said. “It really is a two-person race and I think it’s Biden’s race to lose now.”

But, Biden and Sanders

will have to win over the Gwinnett Democrats who had planned to support other candidates.

Bloomberg and Warren had each been making some inroads in Gwinnett already.

Each had opened an office in the county. Warren held a rally in the county in February 2019 and, before Super Tuesday, her campaign had announced events that would have taken place in Buford this weekend if she had not dropped out.

Keaton said she is looking to see how Biden and Sanders treat Gwinnett as Georgia’s primary Bianca approaches.

Keaton “I’m waiting for these folks who are vying for votes to show up in Gwinnett,” she said. “That’s pretty much been my stance. Not that I won’t vote for them in the general (election), but I do want to see our presidential candidates demonstrate that they understand the importance of Gwinnett for all the federal implications that exist here.”

Although Gwinnett had been solidly Republican since the 1980’s, it was won by Democratic Party nominee Hillary Clinton in the 2016

presidential election and Stacey Abrams in Georgia’s 2018 gubernatorial election.

Democrats also flipped several seats in Gwinnett 2018.

Warren even said “Gwinnett is the future” when she visited Lawrenceville in February 2019.

All of that makes Gwinnett a target that the Democratic Party’s remaining presidential candidates should pay attention to, according to Keaton.

“Gwinnett (is) a big contributor to the stakes,” she said.

Keaton said an organizer for Biden’s campaign did reach out to her on Thursday as the campaign begins ramping up its efforts in Georgia.

“We had a nice little chat,” she said. “I’m waiting to find out when he’s coming and what that visit is going to look like.”

As for the choice Gwinnett Democrats have to make now that their options have thinned out, Keaton said their decision could — at least in part — be shaped by who they voted for in 2016 when it was Sanders and Hillary Clinton fighting for the party’s presidential nomination.

Clinton won Gwinnett with 66.24% of the vote in the March 1, 2016 Democratic Party presidential preference primary, earning 18,787

more votes than Sanders got in that election.

“I expect a lot of those people to probably go in Biden’s direction because the Hillary voters might tend to Biden voters,” she said. “If they voted for Bernie (in 2016), and maybe they were on Elizabeth Warren’s team, they’re (maybe) back in the Bernie camp.”

Clymer said that she had not had the chance to vote before Warren dropped out because she was planning a fundraiser for U.S. Senate candidate Sarah Riggs Amico this past week. After Warren dropped out, Clymer said she did go cast her ballot, and voted for Biden.

But that doesn’t mean she is opposed to Sanders being the nominee if that is how things shake out in the end.

“I went ahead and voted for Biden, but I’ll support either one (as the nominee),” Clymer said.

But Keaton echoed Clymer in saying that the loss of some of the candidates that Democrats may have preferred should not be a cause for despair because there are local elections that are also coming up.

Keaton also said the focus will continue to be on defeating President Donald Trump in November.

“We’ve got to get focused,” Keaton said. “We’ve got this.”

HEARTBREAK IN MACON

collins hill routed as Westlake wins third straight title

By Christine Troyke

christine.troyke@gwinnettdailypost.com

MACON — Collins Hill scored far more points on Westlake than any other team in the playoffs and still fell well short of bringing down the two-time defending champs.

Westlake capitalized on a myriad of Eagle turnovers in the first half and rolled to a 72-53 victory in the Class AAAAAAA girls basketball final Saturday in Macon.

The Lions (30-2) ran their streak to 78 straight wins over in-state opponents and beat Collins Hill in the title game for a second straight year.

Before Saturday, they hadn’t allowed more than 34 points in the playoffs.

“They’re the best team we’ve played the last two years,” Eagles head coach Brian Harmon said. “It’s just one of those things where you have a team that you’ve got to overcome. In football, New England was the team you had to beat in order to win the Super Bowl. Right now, Westlake is that team.”

Collins Hill came into the game unbeaten at 31-0 and bidding for its first title since Maya Moore led it to the crown in 2007.

“You’ve got to own what you do,” Harmon said. “The truth about life is you work hard, you try to make something happen and you have to take what you get from it.”

Westlake led 8-0 before Purdue commit Sacha Washington and the Eagles got to work inside. They didn’t completely bridge the gap, but got within one and it was a tight battle to the end of the quarter.

Westlake led 11-9, then punished Collins Hill for its mistakes. The Lions scored 17 points off 11 turnovers and led by as much as 15 in the secSee EAGLES, A12

Grayson’s Caleb Murphy falls as he drives to the basket in Saturday’s 60-59 loss to Wheeler at the Macon Centreplex.

Grayson upset 60-59 by Wheeler

Collins Hill’s Sacha Washington is comforted by a coach after the loss to Westlake in the AAAAAAA state championship game at the Macon Centreplex on Saturday evening.

MACON — Despite trailing a good portion of the game, the Grayson boys basketball team had the Class AAAAAAA state championship it set as a goal from the first day of practice this season within its grasp, only to have Sam Hines Jr. and Wheeler rip it away.

The 6-foot-5 senior hit a free throw with 1.1 seconds

left, the last of his game-high 28 points, which lifted the No. 4 state-ranked Wildcats to a 60-59 upset of the top-ranked and top-five nationally-ranked Rams Saturday at the Macon Centreplex.

Hines shot a sizzling 11 of 12 from the floor and 6 of 8 from the line as Wheeler (24-7) captured its seventh state championship, and denied Grayson (30-2) of its first in what was, by any measure, the best season in program history.

“I’m at a loss for words,” Grayson coach Geoffrey Pierce said. “We’ve just got to close the game out. We put ourselves in position to win the game, but we didn’t close out. All the credit to Wheeler. They got the job done down the stretch, and we didn’t. They made their free throws. I think we missed five those last two minutes. There were a couple of offensive rebounds that we gave up. Like I said, (Wheeler) closed the game out. We didn’t.”

It was a tough night from the get go for Grayson, which came out very tight with four early turnovers, with foul trouble becoming an even bigger obstacle later in the first half.

Ian Schieffelin went to the bench with two fouls just 56 seconds after the opening tip, while Deivon Smith, Toneari Lane and Josh Smith also being limited for prolonged stretches with two fouls during the See RAMS, A12

Lanier boys’ OT magic fades in 66-63 loss to chattahoochee

By David Friedlander david.friedlander@ gwinnettdailypost.com

MACON — For the fourth straight game in their Class AAAAAA state tournament run, regulation wasn’t enough for Lanier’s boys basketball team.

But this time, the No. 3 state-ranked Longhorns’ overtime magic ran out in the championship game against fifth-ranked Chattahoochee.

Cameron Sheffield scored eight of his game-high 31 points in the extra frame to help the Cougars survive for

a 66-63 win Saturday at the Macon Centreplex.

Sion James wasn’t far behind Sheffield total with 27 points , but Saturday’s title game might be best remembered for the missed opportunities for the Tulane-bound senior and his Lanier (26-6) teammates.

The Longhorns shot a paltry 38.6 percent (22 of 57) from the floor and a mere 61.5 percent (16 of 26) on free throws, and it was the latter that proved to be particularly costly in light of the fact Chattahoochee finished the game 21 of 27 (77.8 per-

“You get that opportunity,

you get the free throws you want, and we’re just not able to knock them down. You can’t win games if you’re not going to make free throws.

“We did push it to overtime, and the guys fought.

But you’ve got to make plays when it matters the most.

We knew how good Sheffield and A.J. White were, and we just did not get the stops we needed down the stretch.”

Stops were difficult for the Longhorns early on as well, with Chattahoochee (24-7) particularly hot from 3-point range in the first half at 55.6 percent, including a sizzling

Yet despite the Cougars’ sharpshooting and Lanier shooting just 5 of 14 from the floor and 7 of 13 from the line in the first half, the Longhorns found themselves down just 34-31 at intermission.

LANIER From A10 three-point game and I said, ‘We’re honestly where we want to be. Then we come out and throw a punch in the second half and we start feeling good about things.”

Much of the power behind the punch Mayweather described came on the defensive end, as Lanier held Chattahoochee to just 27.3 percent (3 of 11) shooting from the floor and 0-for-4 from 3-point range during the third quarter.

Meanwhile, James hit a pair of buckets and set up another from Iajah Phillips, while Goran Uzanov knocked down a pair of 3-pointers from the identical spot in the left corner, that latter of which went down with three seconds left to cap a 16-6 run in the quarter that left the Longhorns with a 47-40 lead heading into the fourth quarter.

But as Chattahoochee coach Chris Short pointed out, his Cougars had been in spots like that before.

“In the region (7-AAAAAA) championship game, we were down 15 at one point to Cambridge, down 17 at another point and down 10 going into the fourth quarter, and we did the same thing” Short said. “Our resiliency and our focus, our effort to be able to not be rattled by being down … is a credit to our team.”

Indeed, after Lanier missed an opportunity to extend its lead further in the opening possession of the fourth quarter, Chattahoochee slowly crept back into the game.

With the Longhorns’ lead at just 53-49 to Phillips free throws with 5:09 remaining in regulation, Sheffield began to heat up with a three-point play and baseline drive and floater to key a 7-0 run that

“There are different types of turnovers,” Harmon said. “There are turnovers that happen when you’re being assertive and aggressive. Then there are hesitant turnovers or indecisive turnovers. The first half was characterized by more indecisive turnovers.”

But Lanier showed a little resiliency of its own, with James getting to the line for free throws twice in the final 1:13.

The 6-foot-5 wing hit just 1 of 2 from the line the first time, but his two free throws with 34 seconds left in regulation tied the game again at 56-all.

The Longhorns then survived two open looks from 3-point range by Bailey in the final seconds, the latter of which was off the mark with 2.9 seconds left, to head into overtime, a situation they felt comfortable in given their wins in overtime in their previous three state tournament games.

“I felt great about it going to overtime,” Mayweather said. “This is how the story had to be written. It wouldn’t make sense for us not to go overtime. But you can’t dig that hole … to start the overtime period off.”

Sheffield engineered most pushed it back to 28-18 at the half.

Junior Raven Johnson led the Westlake blitz with 13 points, including a trio of smooth 3-pointers, in the first half. Johnson and TaNiya Latson each had 23 for the Lions.

Collins Hill was shooting just 22 percent from the field at the break and nearly half its points came at the free-throw line.

A 6-0 run by Westlake to start the third quarter effectively put the game out of reach.

Washington finished with 16 points and 11 rebounds. Eden Sample had 14 points, while Inniss added 13 points and 10 boards.

of the digging of that hole by getting to the line and hitting two free throws, and hitting identical floaters on drives to the basket from the left wing on the next two possession after defensive stops to help Chattahoochee build a 62-56 lead with 2:33 left in the extra period.

But James made sure Lanier wasn’t going away, scoring seven points in a 1:56 span to help the Longhorns take advantage of some rare misses at the line by the Cougars.

And when James followed a pair of free throws with a steal and a give-and-go layup from Phillips with 20 seconds left, the Longhorns were suddenly within one at 66-65.

But Chattahoochee was able to get to the line twice more in the final seconds and hit three of the four ensuing free throws.

“We’ve had close (games),” Short said. “We knew it would come down to free throws in the fourth quarter (and overtime). … I kid you not,

we were just speaking about that in our walk through (Friday). … That’s the way playoff basketball is supposed to be.”

And even when Sheffield missed the final of those shots from the line, the was only 1.7 seconds left, and James had no choice but to fire a desperation heave from beyond halfcourt that was off the mark, dashing Lanier’s hopes for the program’s first state title.

James wound up with a double-double after pulling down 11 rebounds to go with his 27 points, while Andrew McConnell (13 points, 3 steals) and Phillips (12 points, 3 assists) joined him in double-figure scoring for the Longhorns.

White also had a big game for Chattahoochee with 22 points, including hitting 11 of 12 free throws, while Bailey also reached double figures for the Cougars with 10 points, and David McDaniel had a game-high 14 rebounds.

Grayson’s Josh Smith (3) blocks a shot by Wheeler’s Prince Davies (2) in the AAAAAAA state championship game at the Macon Centreplex on Saturday night.

RAMS From A10 opening 16 minutes.

Wheeler took advantage of those limitations to build as much as a 14-6 lead after a pair of Prince Davies free throws with 1:35 left in the first quarter, and the Wildcats built a nearly as big lead at 29-22 when Sam Hines Jr. capped a 12-5 run with a pair of free throws with 1:44 left in the half.

Quinones Corpman drained the second of his pair of first-half 3-pointers with 41 seconds left to pull Grayson back to within four, but Hines beat the buzzer with a jumper from the foul line, the last of his 11 first-half points, to send Wheeler into intermission with a 31-25 lead. “(The early foul trouble) took us out of our rhythm for sure,” Pierce said. “But just like all year, Q … stepped up and hit a couple big shots to keep us in the game. I was proud of his effort. Taje (Kelly) gave us some good minutes, as well.”

Wheeler came out just as energized in the second half after a quick bucket by Schieffelin 17 seconds into the third quarter brought Grayson to within four, with Hines leading the weight eight points during an 11-4 run that gave the Wildcats their biggest lead at 42-31 with 2:32 left in the period.

That’s when Grayson, particularly Deivon Smith and Murphy, suddenly woke up.

A pair of 3-pointers by the former and a free throw by the latter led a 7-2 run over a 49-second span brought the Rams to within 44-37.

If that sequence didn’t rouse the Rams, then the next led by Muphry did.

The 6-2 South Florida signee got loose in transition down the right wing and leapt up for a thunderous dunk, and drew a foul from Juwon Gamory before making the free throw to complete the three-point play to suddenly cut Wheeler’s lead to 44-41 with 1:00 left in the quarter.

Grayson then came up with two more defensive stops, and used a 3-pointer from Lane and another driving layup by Murphy in the final seconds to end the period on a 15-2 run that vaulted the Rams into a 46-44 lead heading into the fourth quarter.

After Max Harris briefly re-tied the game at 46-all with a layup 20 second into the final frame, it looked like Grayson was ready to go for the knockout blow.

Lane got to the foul line one consecutive possessions over the next 25 seconds and hit three of the four free throws.

Josh Smith then scored in transition, and Deivon Smith came up with a steal and a dish to Lane for 3-pointer from the left corner to give Grayson its biggest lead of the game at 54-46 with 5:33 remaining.

But Wheeler wasn’t go-

ing to quit.

“We knew it wasn’t going to be easy,” Hines said. “We had to fight through adversity. Play hard, play together as a team. Just go out and ... do the important thing, and we made a run.”

Hines first stopped the bleeding with a jumper in the lane at the 4:04 mark, and after Deivon Smith hit 1 of 2 free throws, Grayson began to pull the ball out and try to run the clock.

But the Wildcats made a stop and Ja’Hiem Hudson finished off a threepoint play off a nifty pass from Nash Kelly and a free throw to cut the Rams’ lead to 55-51.

Grayson continued to try to spread the floor, only to come up empty, and Wheeler capitalized with a pullup jumper by Hines and two free throws from Davies to compete an 11-1 run that tied the game at 55-all with 1:46 left.

Murphy hit 1 of 2 free throws with 1:41 left to put Grayson back on top 56-55 with 1:41 left, but the one miss accentuated what was becoming a problem for the Rams, who made only 5 of 11 free throws in the fourth quarter, including 2 of 7 in the final 4:30.

Meanwhile, Nash Kelly and Hines each connected on a pair of free throws in the final minute to vault Wheeler back in front at 59-56.

Lane had an answer after Deivon Smith penetrated and dished to him by knocking down his third 3-pointer of the evening to knot the score once again at 59-all with 13 seconds left.

Wheeler quickly pushed the ball up the court, with Davies driving in from the left wing to try for a gamewinning shot.

The shot missed, but Hines battled Lane for the rebound and snagged his ninth and final board, and fourth offensive rebound, while drawing a foul from Lane with 1.1 seconds remaining.

Hines made the first shot to give Wheeler a 60-59 lead and attempted to purposely miss the second to take what little time was left off the clock, but missed the rim, giving Grayson one last chance by inbounding underneath its own basket an having to go the length of the floor following a timeout.

But with Schiefflin struggling to find someone open for a long baseball pass, he could only find Muprhy in the backcourt, and the senior had time to make just one dribble before heaving up a three-quarter court shot that bounced off the backboard, allowing Wheeler to celebrate its title.

Lane led the Rams with 18 points and added a gamehigh three steals, while Murphy finished with 13 point and three assists and Deivon Smith chipped in 1 point and game-high seven assists.

Harris was the only other Wheeler player besides Hines in double figures with 10 points.

The future of the Supreme Court is on the ballot in November

S

enate Minority Leader Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., is correctly under fire for threatening Supreme Court Justices Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh. But what did Schumer really mean when, on Wednesday, he warned the justices “you won’t know what hit you” if they vote the wrong way on an abortion case?

Here is what Schumer said: “I want to tell you, Gorsuch; I want to tell you, Kavanaugh: You have released the whirlwind, and you will pay the price. You won’t know what hit you if you go forward with these awful decisions.” That drew a rare rebuke from Chief Justice John Roberts Jr., who issued a statement declaring that “threatening statements of this sort from the highest levels of government are not only inappropriate, they are dangerous.”

At first, Schumer refused to apologize but rather said through a spokesman that he was making “a reference to the political price Republicans will pay for putting them on the court.” No, he wasn’t.

He didn’t say Republicans will “pay the price” or that Republicans “won’t know what hit you.” He directed those threats squarely at the two justices. On Thursday, Schumer said, “I shouldn’t have used the words I did, but in no way was I making a threat.” Of course he was.

So, what was he threatening — what

tion until last June, when he realized he could not win the Democratic nomination without changing his position. The judicial left will almost certainly demand that he similarly reverse his position on court-packing.

As for Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., he has declared his intention, if elected, to push for rotating justices off the Supreme Court and replacing them with lower-court judges. “A federal judge has a lifetime appointment,” Sanders told MSNBC last month, but the Constitution “doesn’t say that lifetime appointment has got to be on the Supreme Court — it’s got to be on a federal court.”

This much is certain. If Democrats win in November, their base will not be satisfied with simply replacing aging liberal justices with younger ones. They have watched with horror as Trump has transformed the federal judiciary. They will not accept the status quo and what they consider an illegitimate conservative majority on the Supreme Court.

Doherty has been with Suwanee for 14 years and city officials said she has produced nearly 500 events during that time.

Some of the city’s events, partners and volunteers were also highlighted during the awards ceremony with recognitions of their own, according to the city.

Entries from five states were reviewed and judged by a panel of event planning, marketing and tourism experts on the basis of originality, creativity, media impact, volunteer programs and the overall impact the entrant had on the community.

“Our event team spends hours upon hours behind the scenes planning memorymaking events for our citizens,” Doherty said. “It’s nice to be recognized as being among the best in the Southeast for producing some amazing events that make Suwanee a great place to live and play.”
