For the third time in less than three weeks, a driver fled the scene after killing a pedestrian in Gwinnett County, police said Tuesday.

The latest fugitive drives a maroon Honda and hasn’t been found since hitting 22-year-old Lawrenceville resident Dante Wilson on Boggs Road outside Duluth on Monday night, said Cpl. Michele Pihera, spokeswoman for the county police department.

Wilson was attempting to cross the road from Autumn Vista apartments to the Magnolia Pointe apartment complex at about 9:45 p.m.

The Honda — model unknown — was traveling on the road toward Interstate 85. A black Buick and silver Mercedes were driving in the same direction when the Honda’s side mirror struck the victim.

He fell.

GAC students write to soldiers through Bert Show

By Keith Farner

NORCROSS — Inside a pre-first grade classroom at Greater Atlanta Christian on Tuesday morning, the resiliency of the American military was on the mind of Nolan Crisp.

“Soldiers sometimes miss their families because it’s a long time that they’re going to be in the Army,” he said. “It’s just going to be a long time.

They wouldn’t say, ‘I quit this Army.’ They would just keep going and keep going, and they would always protect us.”

With that message in mind, Nolan joined his classmates and students across the GAC campus this week in writing letters to soldiers in time to be delivered during the upcoming holiday season. For the fourth year, the school is partnering with The Bert Show’s The Big Thank You campaign to send a “heartfelt, handwritten original” letter by Thanksgiving to every soldier who is deployed overseas.

Cops: Man’s homicide in self-defense

By Joshua Sharpe joshua.sharpe@gwinnettdailypost.com

LAWRENCEVILLE — A man who gunned down his brother-in-law in front of several witnesses off Old Norcross Road may not be charged, Gwinnett County police said Tuesday.

The lead investigator believes Jerry Hayes, 46, of Loganville was acting in self-defense when he shot Brian E. Davis, 48, at about 6:30 p.m. Saturday outside Lawrenceville, said Cpl. Michele Pihera, spokeswoman for the Gwinnett County Police Department.

Hayes arrived at 369 Freeport Drive, a brick duplex with pumpkins out for Halloween in a subdivision near Averitt

Men and Women are canceling expensive appointments, treatments and prescriptions for fixing their damaged hair, turning instead to Dr. Lin’s all-natural formula.

Top Hair Loss Doctor Makes a Remarkable Nutrient Discovery Recently, Dr. Susan Lin, considered today’s leading expert in hair restoration, announced she’s made a remarkable discovery while working with patients in her California Clinic.

Dr. Lin revealed that while treating her hair loss patients with a special type of plant nutrient called Lilac Extract, she was able to regrow her patients’ thinning and dying hair.

“In just weeks, most of my patients experienced new hair growth and less shedding without any additional changes to their daily regimen” said Lin in a recent interview.

Dr. Lin explained the secret to her discovery is in the Lilac Extract’s unique ability as an antioxidant, which protects the scalp from free radicals, which many experts believe to be the #1 cause of hair loss in men and women.

You see as you get older, your body’s ability to produce antioxidants becomes impaired. When this happens, you lose the ability to fight off free radicals.

Ultimately, these deadly chemicals make their way into your scalp, affecting your hair follicles.

Dr. Lin graduated from Boston University School Six Year Medical Program with a NIH Cancer Research Fellowship. She completed her postdoctoral training in Obstetrics and Gynecology at Kaiser Permanente Oakland, Felix Rutledge Oncology Fellowship at MD Anderson Cancer Center and Galloway Fellowship in Gynecologic Oncology at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. It’s great when science meets reality and that is what MD® is all about.

After making this discovery and seeing how well it worked with her patients, Dr. Susan Lin decided to formulate Lilac Extract along with six other powerful ingredients into a formula called “MD Nutri Hair”.

Guaranteed to Stop Hair Loss and Improve Hair Thickness MD Nutri Hair is one of the first physician-formulated supplements designed for men and women who are experiencing hair loss.

Along with Lilac Extract, MD Nutri Hair contains six other powerful antioxidants and phytonutrients that are scientifically proven and unconditionally guaranteed to: • FIGHT and PROTECT your scalp from harmful free radicals that cause hair loss • IMPROVE the appearance of thinning hair • PROMOTE stronger, longer, fuller hair • RELIEVE itchy dry scalp and protect against fungal overgrowth

The Latest Advancement in Plant Stem Cell Technology

288296-1

So why does MD Nutri Hair seem to work so well? The secret is in the technology.

Dr. Lin is one of the first to take advantage of a new breakthrough in hair loss called “plant stem cell technology”.

Lin explains “My formulation takes advantage of recent advances in plant tissue culturing. We are able to selectively harvest cells from certain plants and generate cultures rich in plant stem cells and complex compounds that can act as natural liposomes to deliver

powerful antioxidants and factors needed to protect and fortify “antiaging” skin cells.

And unlike today’s ineffective, cleverly marketed products, Nutri Hair is • FAST ACTING - works in days rather than months • DRUG FREE - so there are no side effects • CONVIENENT - just one small capsule a day

MD Nutri Hair Sets New Industry Standard with a Natural Solution for Problem Hair Skeptical? I don’t blame you at all…

I know you’ve heard every claim (and then some) when it comes to vitamins and supplements. I have too. As a health reporter, I’m constantly bombarded with mailings and phone calls from sales people trying to get me to review their product.

And my response to all of them is “show me your happy customers” — and that’s exactly what Dr. Susan Lin did when we asked…

“Because both of my parents have hair loss, I started to have thinning hair in my 20’s and more severe after childbirth. I tried everything (except for prescription medications) and was frustrated. Got to a point I needed to wear extensions to make my hair look fuller. Now my hair is full – because of taking MD Nutri Hair.

Noticed my scalp does not get greasy anymore and I can stop shampooing every day. I will always take the product to keep my hair full and healthy” – Lynn “I saw significantly less hair shedding after one month of using MD Nutri Hair” – Joan “After 2 months of use, my hair was noticeably thicker” – NH “After one month I’ve now stopped wearing a hat to cover my bald spot … will continue to use” – Chris “I am so grateful I found Nutri Hair.

I have been experiencing serious hair loss since 2009. I tried various topicals without effect. The hair was so fine and weak ever since. I searched the MD Hair Restoration web site and discovered Nutri Hair which sounded promising.

It’s now my fourth bottle. I noticed significantly less hair shedding and the hair density seems to have improved.

I will now add Scalp Essentials to the routine hoping to further address the scalp grease and irritation problem.

Thank you so much for producing such wonderful products” – Kiki It’s easy to try MD Nutri Hair. It’s available at your local CVS store and at CVS.com, as well as directly from the manufacturer.

Special Report by Health Reporter Chris Stella BOSTON – If you’re one of the millions who suffer from hair loss and thinning hair then you’ll be excited to hear there’s been a major breakthrough.

In fact, this natural hair loss discovery has already helped countless men and women, from all around the country, achieve thicker, fuller, healthier hair.

And unlike today’s solutions…

• Is NOT a prescription or procedure (so it’s side effect free) • Is NOT a shampoo or topical (so it’s not messy or oily) • Is 100% NATURAL (so it’s safe to use every day) And best of all, it works in days not months, to stop hair loss and regrow longer, stronger, thicker hair.

Sound too good to be true? I thought so too but that was before catching up with the doctor who made this discovery and then hearing from her patients.

investigation.”

Officers found Hernandez at about 2 a.m. Oct. 18, after a woman heard three shots and called 911, according to a police report. She said she was sleeping when the sound woke her, leading her to step out on the balcony to investigate and spot the man near the sidewalk below.

Police helped care for the victim on the scene before he was transported to Gwinnett Medical Center, where he died later in the morning.

According to the report from Motino’s Oct. 19 arrest, he was already a suspect in the homicide when officers responded to the complaint about the gun at the gas station.

Detectives took the gun.

“The handgun was concealed in Motino’s waistband. Motino was very intoxicated and he had to have help to stand up and to walk as he could not stand by himself,” a responding officer wrote in the report.

In a fit, he reportedly went on to smash his head against the partition in the back of the patrol car and kick at the glass.

Near the intersection of Ga. Highway 316 and Ga. Highway 20, on the way to jail, “Motino hit his head so hard on the partition that he knocked himself unconscious,” the officer wrote.

He was checked Gwinnett Medical Center, where the officer said he was “irate” and tried to get out of the hospital bed, before being booked at the jail.

On Tuesday afternoon, he remained held without bond.

Snellville-based YSS Athletics Councilwoman, who avoided doubles space with new HQ infighting, attends last meeting

By Curt Yeomans

By Joshua Sharpe

curt.yeomans @gwinnettdailypost.com

joshua.sharpe @gwinnettdailypost.com

Gwinnett Chamber and Snellville officials celebrated the expansion of an athletic apparel manufacturer in the city on Monday.

YSS Athletics doubled its office and manufacturing space by relocating within Snellville to a new facility at 2110 Fountain Square, according to the chamber. The facility houses the company’s headquarters and space for staff to produce athletic uniforms and related team-inspired clothing.

“Expanding within Snellville was key,” YSS Athletics President Torey Rose said in a statement.

“We, including many of our employees, have long called Snellville home, so finding the right space here was critical to us expanding our presence within the community.”

Snellville officials speaking through the chamber said they began talking to YSS about finding a larger space in the city for the business more than three years ago. Those conversations ultimately to the compa-

With her term expiring, Councilwoman Diane Krause had her last meeting as a member of the Snellville City Council on Monday night.

She stood to say “goodbye” to the crowd.

“It has been an honor to serve you citizens of Snellville,” said the official, who decided not to seek a second term in Tuesday’s election, according to a news release.

“I will miss you Snellville.

I will always call you a friend.”

Krause, a former law enforcement officer and business owner, has been instrumental in creating and promoting programs to keep residents safe. The programs include the Code Red mobile alert service, the Solicitation Ordinance and most recently, the Continuity of Operations Plan — an emergency plan for the city’s government buildings.

“I want to let you know that we’ll continue your efforts,” Councilman Bobby Howard told Krause.

Roger Marmol and Dexter Brannon Harrison are running to replace the councilwoman. She hasn’t

ny moving into what was previously vacant retail space.

“The retention of YSS in the Snellville area is a win for Snellville, YSS Athletics and its employees,” City Manager Butch Sanders said in a statement. “It is very encouraging to be a small cog in their continuing success.”

The company has been a fixture in Gwinnett County for years, and won a Movers and Makers award from the chamber in 2014. It has also worked with Gwinnett Technical College, Partnership Gwinnett and

SCAD Atlanta over the years on training and apprenticeship programs.

Officials in Snellville, the county government and at Gwinnett Tech congratulated the business on their expansion, which the chamber called a “major milestone” in the local apparel industry.

“It’s another example of Gwinnett’s success in retaining growing companies,” said Shantell R. Wilson, Partnership Gwinnett Senior Project Manager for Advanced Manufacturing and Supply Chain, in a statement.

revealed a specific reason for declining to seek another term, other than “personal reasons,” but plans to spend more time with her family.

In her time on the board, Krause, a Boston, Mass., native who moved to Georgia in 1972, steered clear of infighting between Mayor Kelly Kautz and other council members. Her votes often fell in line with the council, who voted against Kautz, but the verbal jabs came from elsewhere on the dais, not her seat.

Council members praised Krause.

“She really has worked hard in her four-year term and has brought a lot to the city in those four years,”

said Councilwoman Barbara Bender.

Krause praised city staff and thanked the residents for allowing her to work for them.

“Thank you for trusting me to initiate polices, ordinances and alerts to always keep you and the city safe and protected,” she said.

“Thank you for allowing me to dump tons of sand in the middle of your busy street.

I learned so much from the challenges that I faced. I prayed for wisdom and fortitude to keep going and to make sure you were always first on my agenda.”

As she waived goodbye, the crowd gave her a standing ovation.

flagship university have an unparalleled learning experience,” President Jere W. Morehead said in a statement. “Our high retention rate is one sign that these investments are having a positive impact on student success.”

By combining additional staff and technology, the university last year hired 25 new academic advisers and increased advising services to incoming first-

year students and transfer students. UGA also has enhanced students’ and advisers’ ability to track progress toward graduation with DegreeWorks, a web-based academic advising tool. In addition, the university has increased summer enrollment on campus while also expanding summer online course offerings to give students more flexibility.

UGA also saw its six-year graduation rate increase to 85.3 percent, which is also above the

national average of 59 percent for four-year institutions. UGA’s fourand five-year graduation rates are 62.5 percent and 82.4 percent, respectively, which compare to national averages of 39.4 percent and 55.1 percent, according to the National Center for Education Statistics.

national average of $2.21 is the lowest since February, and marks a savings of 59 cents since the June peak price of $2.80.

Gasbuddy.com had at least four stations in Lawrenceville with prices of $1.89, and another at the same price in Berkeley Lake.

“Gas prices keep falling because oil prices are low and gasoline supply continues to outpace demand,” AAA spokesman Mark Jenkins said in a press release. “Barring any unanticipated disruptions in supply, or spikes in the price of crude oil, the national average could fall below the $2 per gallon threshold for the first time since 2009 before the end of year.”

In Georgia, the average price is $2.06, six cents cheaper than last week and 89 cents cheaper than this time last year. The national average of $2.20 is the lowest on Oct. 25 since 2006 ($2.199) — the next lowest was on same date in 2004 which was $2.017.

Nationwide, 21 percent of gas stations are selling gasoline below $2 a gallon. Drivers are saving five cents per gallon week-over-week and eight cents per gallon monthover-month. Significant yearly savings persist, and the national average is discounted by 85 cents per gallon from this same date last year.

The price of oil sunk even lower last week which signal more discounts at the pump.

West Texas Intermediate averaged $45.32 a barrel last week — $1.32 lower than the week before. Oil was at $45.89 last Monday, then finished the week at $44.60.

Treatment lacking for woman’s low sex drive DEAR DR. ROACH: I am a 61-year-old woman who has lost most of her sexual drive. My OB/GYN has suggested bioidentical hormone replacement therapy. My online research did not do much to enlighten me. The cost is pretty high. What can you tell me about this?

— T.W. ANSWER: There is no evidence that bioidentical hormone preparations are safer or more effective than those that can be prescribed and that are Food and Drug Administrationapproved. The FDA is taking action against pharmacies that make false and misleading claims about medications, which usually come from compounding pharmacies.

All hormone replacement drugs, whether plant-derived, synthesized or from animal products, may increase the risk of heart attack, blood clots and breast cancer. In many cases, the drugs used are molecularly identical, whether it comes from a compounding pharmacy or from traditional pharmaceutical companies.

Compounding pharmacies are not subject to FDA approval, and may have inconsistencies in amount or absorption of the hormones.

Let us consider your primary problem, as low sex drive is a common problem in women. Good studies have shown that estrogen and progesterone are not effective. Testosterone, the hormone associated with men, also is found in women and has been found to be effective for some women with low sexual desire, although there are risks of testosterone in women also.

A new drug, flibanserin, has been approved for use in women with distress due to low sexual desire, but it is only modestly effective.

Nonpharmacological treatments such as couples and sexual therapy, lifestyle changes designed to reduce stress and promote good relationships and regular exercise such as aerobic exercise or yoga may have better effects on women’s sexual desire than medication.

DEAR DR. ROACH: I would like your opinion on a mild problem I have.

Beginning at breakfast, my nose begins to run almost constantly. The situation is worse if I am drinking a hot liquid, like coffee.

After breakfast, the running stops, and all is then normal.

— S.G. ANSWER: This is a classic example of gustatory rhinitis, a type of nonallergic rhinitis (“rhino” is the Greek word for “nose”; “itis” is for “inflammation”). The vagus nerve, which provides the nerve supply to many organs, is responsible for this confusion, as is the case with some other abnormal reflexes. This problem seems to be more common in older adults.

I have found that ipratropium nasal spray is effective for most people with gustatory rhinitis. It’s a prescription medicine, so ask your doctor about it.

world&nation WORLD Taliban says it will not block Afghan earthquake relief KABUL/ISLAMABAD — The Taliban encouraged aid groups to help victims of the massive earthquake in northern Afghanistan and Pakistan as rescuers struggled to form a clear picture of the damage caused by the disaster as the death toll passed 300.

With large mountainous areas of Afghanistan hit and icy weather closing in, the unstable security situation has posed a major challenge to international aid groups that have been repeatedly targeted by insurgents.

But the Taliban, which have driven their Islamist campaign against the Western-backed government in Kabul across the country this year, indicated they would not stand in the way of aid efforts and ordered fighters to help victims.

Tentative budget deal struck

By David Lawder and Susan Cornwell Reuters

WASHINGTON — A U.S. budget and debt ceiling deal headed toward quick action in Congress on Tuesday as lawmakers rushed to avert yet another fiscal standoff, which threatened to push the federal government into an unprecedented default early next month.

House Speaker John Boehner told fellow Republicans he was clearing the way for a vote today on the double-barreled measure, which would bust strict spending caps by $80 billion over the next two years in order to pump up defense and domestic programs.

It also would extend the Treasury Department’s borrowing authority until March 2017.

PEOPLE Sharpton to no longer eulogize slain NYPD officer

NEW YORK — The Rev. Al Sharpton said on Tuesday that he would not deliver the eulogy for slain New York City Police Officer Randolph Holder because he feared police union leaders would use his presence to turn the funeral into “some kind of confrontation.”

The decision by the civil rights activist and long-time critic of the NYPD was announced in an open letter emailed to media, which cited reports criticizing his planned role at the funeral scheduled for Wednesday.

It came hours after Holder’s fiancée was quoted in the New York Post as saying the Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., second from left, holds a news conferofficer detested Sharpton. ence after their party policy luncheon in Washington on Wednesday.

tax cuts and looming deep spending cuts similarly had Washington and world economies on edge, with a deal being negotiated as the clock literally struck midnight on New Year’s Eve. Boehner — taking a victory lap on Tuesday on the budget and debt limit deal he worked out with fellow congressional leaders and the White House — told a news conference: “It’s going to pass with a bipartisan majority, and I’ll be really happy.”

the support in the New York Times/ CBS News poll released on Tuesday morning.

Trump placed second with 22 percent of the support of those surveyed, trailing by less than the 6 percentagepoint margin of error. The poll of 575 Republican primary voters was conducted Oct. 21 through 25.

The Republican candidates will meet on the debate stage on Wednesday night, providing a third opportunity for them to differentiate themselves.

The national poll comes after three conducted in Iowa, the first state to vote in the primary process, showed Trump trailing Carson for the first time.

The actions by officer Ben Fields at Spring Valley High School in Columbia on Monday drew swift condemnation after video recordings of the incident were picked up by media outlets and posted on social media.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Justice Department opened a civil rights probe of the arrest to determine if federal law was broken, the agencies said in a statement.

Richland County Sheriff Leon Lott sought the independent investigations of the incident, which comes amid scrutiny of the use of force

by U.S. police, particularly against minorities.

WASHINGTON — Nearly half of the U.S. Senate supports a resolution to challenge the Obama administration’s regulation cutting carbon emissions from power plants, the core of the United States’ broader climate change strategy, sponsors of the measure said on Tuesday.

in the way the Republicancontrolled House is run, Ryan added, “I think this process stinks,” hinting that “under new management,” work will get done well before deadlines.

The Obama administration said the budget and debt limit pact would protect Social Security and Medicare recipients from cuts. White House Council of Economic Advisers Chairman Jason Furman said the added government spending over two years could help create 340,000 jobs in 2016.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, a Kentucky Republican, backed a resolution introduced on Monday night by Republican Senator Shelley Moore Capito and Democratic Senator Heidi Heitkamp disapproving of the Environmental Protection Agency’s Clean Power Plan. Backers of the resolution said 49 senators in the 100-member chamber support it.

Forty-seven senators backed a separate McConnell-sponsored resolution to challenge a related EPA rule that sets emissions standards for the construction of new coal-fired power plants.

Even if passed, the measures would face a veto by President Barack Obama, who has vowed to defend the EPA rules.

Sandra Bullock hits political stride in upcoming film

LOS ANGELES — Academy Award winner Sandra Bullock plays a political spin doctor in satirical comedy “Our Brand is Crisis,” taking a look at the tactics of election campaigns.

The Hollywood actress portrays political strategist Jane Bodine, who is coaxed out of a self-imposed retirement to help boost the campaign of a Bolivian presidential candidate struggling in the election polls.

“Politics have always been a comedy/tragedy,” Bullock said at the film’s premiere in Los Angeles on Monday night.

“I think now the curtain has just been pulled back and everyone gets to see it.

It has always been the same.

You can’t write stories like this based on pure fiction.

This is based on absolute reality.

“The (film’s) message — yes, politics as a backdrop, but it is more about consequences, big business, how far is too far. When you start harming others for power and extreme wealth, eventually you have to get off the carousel,” Bullock said.

Drone carrying contraband crashes at Oklahoma prison

By Heide Brandes Reuters

OKLAHOMA CITY — A drone carrying mobile phones, drugs, hacksaw blades and other material dangling in a bundle from a fishing line crashed at the Oklahoma State Penitentiary in McAlester before inmates could grab the contraband, prison officials said on Tuesday.

MUST READ The drone clipped razor wire on prison walls on Monday and lost control before crashing into prison grounds in what the officials said was the first attempt in the state to smuggle material into a prison with an unmanned aerial vehicle.

The package contained two hacksaw blades, a mobile

phone, a mobile phone battery, a hands-free device, two packages of cigarettes, two packs of cigars, super glue, a 5.3-ounce bag of marijuana, a 0.8 ounce bag of methamphetamine and a bag of heroin weighing less than one gram.

“I applaud and commend the quick action and diligence on the part of the staff who noticed the UAV that entered the prison grounds,” Oklahoma Depart-

ment of Corrections Director Robert Patton said. McAlester is about 130 miles southeast of Oklahoma City.

Similar attempts to smuggle contraband by drones have taken place at prisons in other U.S. states.

In August, a drone dropped a package of heroin, marijuana and tobacco in the recreation yard of an Ohio prison, sparking a fight among inmates try-

ing to pick up the contraband.

Last year, a drone was used to try to smuggle phones, marijuana and tobacco into a South Carolina maximum security prison, but it crashed outside the facility’s walls.

The drone in the Oklahoma incident has been turned over to the Department of Correction’s office of the Inspector General for further investigation. No arrests have been made.

Clinton’s testimony benefits her

A special House committee investigating the terrorist attack in Benghazi, Libya, on Sept.

11, 2012 that killed Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other Americans may have helped Hillary Clinton become president of the United States.

The former secretary of state refused an invitation to testify in private, as other witnesses had done, probably because she thought her appearance would benefit her presidential prospects in at least three ways: She could make the Republican committee members look inept; Cal the major media Thomas would protect her, and average people would not pay attention; if they did, they would believe what the media told them. She was right on all three counts.

Hillary Clinton refused to be lured into a fight with Republican committee members.

Unlike a previous appearance during which she shouted, “What difference does it make?” when asked if the Benghazi attack stemmed, as the administration asserted, from a spontaneous protest gone too far, this latest appearance was designed to feature Clinton as strong, cool and in control, all qualities necessary in a president.

Republican members were unable to rattle her or get her to admit she lied when she initially blamed the attack on terrorists in emails to her daughter and in a call to Egypt’s prime minister but said in public that the attacks were inspired by a crude Internet video satirizing the Prophet Mohammed. Various pundits have asserted that it is because the Obama administration had claimed that the death of bin Laden marked “…the most significant achievement to date in our nation’s effort to defeat al-Qaida,” and the narrative was a critical component in the president’s re-election strategy. The administration couldn’t afford to acknowledge that neither al-Qaida nor terrorism had been dealt a mortal blow.

If the public was paying attention — and in the age of the Kardashians that is doubtful — they probably wouldn’t care if Hillary Clinton lied about Benghazi or her emails. The bar for honesty among politicians is so low that it is no longer news when politicians lie, only when they tell the truth. Still, many opinion polls, including a July 2015 Quinnipiac University national poll, find that a majority of the American people believe her to be untrustworthy.

The major media are openly and shamelessly boosting Clinton and her presidential campaign and will continue to clear a path for her all the way to the Democratic presidential nomination and to Election Day. Every major newspaper declared Hillary the winner in the 11-hour marathon hearing. So, too, the TV networks.

A USA Today Weekend headline said: “Plenty of Fireworks, No Smoking Gun.” The conservative Media Research Center listed more: Thursday’s “NBC Nightly News” concluded that she “stood her ground” as the committee “dissolved into bickering” while she “stayed above the fray” and removed “Benghazi from being an issue in the 2016 campaign.”

ABC’s “World News Tonight,” which usually doesn’t worry about government spending, featured anchor David Muir complaining three times about the cost of the Benghazi investigation. Chief White House correspondent Jonathan Karl observed that Republicans “really didn’t succeed” in “draw(ing) blood” from Hillary Clinton.

Appearing on “CBS Evening News,” political director John Dickerson said that Clinton “avoid(ed)” falling into any “pitfalls” as those questioning her fought “like cats and dogs.”

On CNN, Anderson Cooper interviewed political commentator Carl Bernstein, who gushed over Clinton’s performance while comparing Republicans to Joseph McCarthy and the House Un-American Activities Committee for conducting an “abusive” hearing. In the next hour, on “CNN Tonight,” Bernstein resurfaced, trotting out the same comparison against “a group of demagogues,” adding that Hillary “did great” in using “the facts at her command.”

There were several references to the stupid comment by Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA), who said, “Everybody thought Hillary Clinton was unbeatable, right? But we put together a Benghazi Special Committee, a select committee. What are her numbers today? Her numbers are dropping. Why? Because she’s untrustable.”

The big question for Republicans is who is strong and credible enough to take Hillary Clinton on in a debate after first securing the party’s nomination? Ask me that question in March.

Project raises funds for local co-op These days not everyone uses a bread basket. But for Deborah Kepes, it is the perfect symbol to illustrate how many children go without bread (and other nourishment) each day. So the owner of Cobblecreek Studios in Snellville combined her love of art with a desire to help the community with The Bread Basket Project.

Kepes had students in her art academy design bread baskets with different patterns — everything from the University of Georgia to the Pittsburgh Steelers to ladybugs and ducks are represented — and in different shapes and forms. With the artistic part completed, the studio is now conducting an online auction for each basket with proceeds going to the Southeast Gwinnett Co-op.

Since all materials for the baskets were donated, either by the families or

by Michael’s Art Store in Snellville, every dollar raised will go straight to the co-op. In conjunction with

Kepes said she was inspired by the efforts of Dave Emanuel and Tricia Rawlins, who started the “Give Hunger the Boot” campaign as a way to help the Southeast Co-op. Their efforts reminded Kepes of the need to help in her Todd Cline own community, a need she Editor shared with her students.

Said Dang: “I hope our efforts, not only as artists but more importantly as people, help inspire others to do the same.”

A newcomer’s guide to Georgia-Florida week If you have just arrived in our fair state from some alien environment like the planet Krutopia or maybe Vermont, I need to explain to you a cataclysmic event taking place on Saturday afternoon in the city of Jacksonville, Fla., which is a suburb of Greater Metropolitan Brunswick, Ga., much like Vermont is a suburb of Canada.

The event is the annual scrum between a group of scholar-athletes from the University of Georgia, the oldest state-chartered university in the nation, located in Athens, the Classic City of the South, and a group from the University of Florida, whose claim to fame is that their mascots, Albert and Alberta, look like walking chenille bedspreads.

Some people will tell you that Jacksonville is a neutral site for the game. These same people would probably consider North Korea a great place to host the Nobel Peace Prize.

Frankly, I’m surprised that our young men can find the time to squeeze in a trip this weekend. What with chemistry labs, efforts to eradicate the spotted wing drosophila and comparative literature seminars, we don’ have a lot of time for games.

Georgia’s scholar-athletes have prevailed 51 times to Florida’s 41. There have been two ties. Florida claims the record to be 50-41-2. They don’t count the game in 1904 because they say their first officially recognized football team didn’t start play until 1906. Well, bless their hearts.

Maybe we just won’t count those games when Steve Spurrier was Florida’s coach because he wasn’t a very nice person. Fair is fair.

One last thing: If a stranger comes up to you on the street this week and says “How ’bout them Dawgs?”, don’t try and correct their grammar or ask them to what dogs might they be referring. After all, this is Georgia-Florida week. Just smile and say, “Run, Lindsay, run!” That answer will earn you an adult beverage and get you treated like momma’s favorite cousin.

I trust you have found this tutorial helpful. Now, if you will excuse me, it’s is time to start the party. It’s GeorgiaFlorida Week! The World’s Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party! Time to let the Big Dawg eat! Go Dawgs! Woof!

Hartsfield-Jackson leader talks airport impact on Gwinnett

By Curt Yeomans

MORE ONLINE

curt.yeomans @gwinnettdailypost.com

Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport is nearly 40 miles and an hour drive south from the heart of Gwinnett County, but the man who runs the world’s busiest airport says its existence is key to the county’s growth.

Airport General Manager Miguel Southwell talked to Gwinnett Chamber members about Hartsfield-Jackson’s future on Tuesday during the business group’s monthly meeting. He talked about the airport as if it were a jobs-generating hub which can attract employers and through which goods can move to other locations throughout the metro area and beyond.

“If you think of an airport as a plant, someplace where you process planes and people, you’re missing the point,” Southwell said.

“While an airport is in the air transportation business, it’s main purpose is, as any community’s chief tool, to bring jobs and a wealth of people to that community

… It really is the economic engine of the community that it serves.”

The airport is focusing its energies on two areas: Expanding cargo capacity and planning for future growth and redevelopment around it’s property on the Fulton-Clayton county line.

Cargo growth is the airport’s top goal because officials see it as a way to turn Hartsfield-Jackson into a 24-hour economic engine for metro Atlanta, Southwell said. Without it, the airport “sputters” in the overnight hours when

passenger traffic is down, he explained.

Hartsfield-Jackson saw growth in cargo business earlier this decade, peaking at 663,162 metric tons of cargo in 2011. The annual tonnage has declined since then, however, and fell to 601,270 metric tons last year. The airport plans to add new warehouse space to handle an extra 1.7 million metric tons of cargo in the next year.

“We have less cargo warehouse space than the cargo we have, so we’re rushing to build more cargo space,” Southwell

said.

The new warehouse space is also part of a bid to jump into the top five airports globally for cargo capacity. Atlanta is currently No. 10 in the world, according to Southwell.

This month alone, the airport also added four new international cargo carriers, including China Cargo Airlines, Turkish Airlines, Russia-based AirBridge Cargo and Belguim-based CAL. “Next year, we’ll begin service — passenger service — by Turkish Airlines,” Southwell added.

“Why is that important?

Because quite often, a lot of the freight comes with the passenger baggage as well. And Qatar (Airways) will start service next year as well.”

What went unsaid in Southwell’s presentation, though, is that Atlanta’s bid to increase cargo capacity at the airport coincides with work to deepen the port of Savannah and increase its ability to

handle cargo. State and local officials hope the deepened port, cargo capacity at the airport and Georgia’s road and rail networks will work together to boost the state’s freight industry.

Southwell also laid out the airport’s 15-year master plan, which is expected to cost between $6.4 billion and $7.4 billion to carry out. It includes redeveloping its main terminal to add more natural light, a new end around taxiway, a sixth runway and new parking garages.

Other plans include construction of an “airport city” adjacent to the main terminal entrance. It will include 200,000 square feet of mixed-use office space, a pet hotel or spa, limited retail, a service plaza with a gas station, dry cleaner and convenience store and a fourstar, 400-room “iconic brand” hotel.

Hartfield-Jackson is also continually growing in terms of the number of passengers who pass through its gates each day.

It’s projected to handle 98.8 million domestic and international passengers

this year.

Southwell said he and other airport officials are working with airlines to add new routes to Latin American countries as well as Asian countries, such as China and India.

The goal is to increase international traffic because domestic growth is happening at a pace fast enough to keep HartsfieldJackson ahead of rapidly growing airports, such as Beijing.

Gwinnett Chamber President Dan Kaufman said routes, particularly those that are non-stop, are key to efforts designed to entice foreign and U.S. companies to relocate or build satellite offices in Gwinnett County.

“The ability to tell them, ‘Look, wherever you are in the world, when you get on a plane and then the door opens (at the destination later on), you’re there in one-stop,’” Kaufman said. “For senior executives, that is incredibly important to know they don’t have to sit around the airport for X-number of hours waiting for the next stop.”

Suwanee honors festival volunteers Barrow man gets

By Danielle Ryan

danielle.ryan @gwinnettdailypost.com

SUWANEE — Putting on a festival like the award-winning Suwanee Fest takes a lot of hard work from a number of people, and the city chose to recognize those individuals at Tuesday night’s City Council meeting.

“This group of people means the world to me,” said Amy Doherty, event manager for the city of Suwanee. “They’re not just volunteers, they’re my Suwanee family.”

Suwanee Fest won four Kaleidoscope Awards from the Southeast Festivals and Events Association in 2014, including Best Festival.

Doherty told the volunteers assembled that she hopes

they will win for 2015 as well.

Doherty was diagnosed with breast cancer earlier this year, forcing her to do less work on the festival than she usually does. She credits her team of volunteers for the success of Suwanee Fest.

“I brag about my staff and how they go above and beyond on every event we do,” she said.

Each of the volunteers received a fleece vest with the city of Suwanee logo embroidered on the front.

As they lined up to receive their vests and take a photo, Mayor Jimmy Burnette shook each of their hands and thanked them for their service to the community.

“We will never stop improving this event,” Doherty said before ushering the

volunteers downstairs for a meeting on how to do just that.

The Gwinnett Daily Post and 12 Stone Church were also honored by the council for their contributions to Suwanee Fest and were given plaques to commemorate their involvement.

The city council also voted on a number of proposals Tuesday evening.

The council approved an alcoholic beverage license for a Mexican restaurant on Peachtree Industrial Boulevard and a special-use permit for the expansion of a gas station and automotive service facility on Lawrenceville-Suwanee Road.

In addition, the council approved an agreement with the Georgia Department of Transportation in order to proceed on a Buford High-

way construction project.

The council also awarded a contract to Valley Crest Landscape for about $279,000 to modify the landscape medians on Peachtree Industrial Boulevard and take over rightof-way maintenance. They awarded another contract to Peach State Construction Company for around $595,000 for construction of the Bushy Creek Greenway and to Allied Paving Contractors, Inc. for around $828,000 to resurface several miles of city streets as well as parking at Sims Lake Park.

Council members also voted to approve a Governor’s Office of Highway Safety grant for $10,000 that will help Suwanee Police purchase five laser speed detection devices.

Bush proposes reform to Medicare, Social Security Reuters

WASHINGTON — Republican presidential candidate Jeb Bush on Tuesday proposed reforms to Medicare and Social Security that use the private sector to help pay for older Americans’ health and living expenses after retirement and cut benefits to the wealthy.

Bush would reform the costly Medicare health insurance program for the elderly by providing “premium support” that would give senior citizens a fixed amount for guaranteed coverage options.

The approach, which Bush said has been supported by Republican Representative Paul Ryan and other “courageous conservatives,” calls for a system of subsidies for seniors to buy coverage from private insurers or a scaled-back Medicare.

“The government will base its payments on the average price of those competing plans,” Bush said. “And premiums will be lower for seniors by 6 percent on average.

The former Florida governor said he would lower

the government subsidies for wealthier seniors and create a tax-free health savings account, or HSA, to help older Americans cover out-ofpocket health expenses.

On Social Security, Bush advocated changes so that higher-income earners who can afford to save for retirement get a smaller benefit check when they stop working, but said he would increase the minimum Social Security benefit.

Bush said that, without reforms, the programs will run out of money and benefits will be cut. Medicare and Social Security consume the largest portion of federal

spending, and Bush said that that spending will more than double by 2040 without changes.

“If we do not have an honest conversation about what it will take to protect Medicare and Social Security, we fail seniors and we will fail the next generation of Americans,” he said.

Previous efforts to reform Social Security in the United States have made little progress, even as worries have increased that the program’s trust fund could be depleted within decades.

Among Bush’s fellow Republican candidates for the 2016 presidential nomina-

tion, New Jersey Governor Chris Christie has advocated cutting Social Security benefits for the wealthy.

Bush’s plan calls for eliminating the payroll tax for seniors at age 67 and adjusting benefits for seniors who retire early or work past retirement age. He would gradually increase the Social Security retirement age starting in 2022 so that workers will become eligible for full benefits at age 70 in 2058.

Bush said his plan would encourage small businesses that cannot contribute to employee retirement plans to set up private retirement savings plans for their workers.

have a cemetery to call our own here.”

The commission tabled a separate proposal for a different cemetery that the Afghan Association Inc. wanted to build on a 5.06acre property on Rosebud Drive near the GwinnettRockdale county line.

The Planning Commission recommended denial of the project nearly two months ago on the basis that its small size, unusual shape and buffer require-

ments meant there would be little land left to bury anyone on. The property is shaped like a backwards seven and is 65 feet wide at its narrowest point, and part of the property is in a flood plain.

Residents who addressed the Planning Commission in September raised similar concerns about home values that were brought forward this week against the Community of Bosniaks’ cemetery.

Cemetery •From Page 1A emotions in the past because of who would be buried in it — or more precisely, their religious beliefs. Some residents had fought it on anti-Muslim grounds, with some opponents focusing on the 4,000-square-foot facility which they argued would be be a mosque.

Although the term “Bosniak” is used to describe Bosnian Muslims,

a member of the group previously told the Daily Post that the group is open to any person interested in Bosnian culture regardless of their religious beliefs.

Any member of the group would be eligible for burial at the site.

Those issues were absent from the debate on Tuesday, though, as the home values argument took center stage. Kevin Smith, who lives across the street from the site proposed for the

cemetery, said neighbors hired a real estate appraiser to study the affect it would have on their property values. He argued any drop in values could have ranged between six and 38 percent.

“These are huge, validated reductions in property values,” Smith said.

Community of Bosniaks representative Faris Zejnelovic argued the group was just looking for a place to bury its loved ones. He explained several mem-

bers of the group came to the United States during the war that broke apart Yugoslavia in the early to mid-1990s.

“We have been here for decades now and our family members are getting older and some are, of course, passing away,” Zejnelovic said. “What we’re finding is a lot of our older generations wishes to be buried back overseas in Bosnia with the rest of their families because we don’t

“That’s so small, but it’s something that could make their day, or put a smile on their face,” she said.

Senior Miranda Earley added that writing letters in Spanish is important because people who fight for the country don’t always only speak English.

Finding home

By Will Hammock will.hammock@ gwinnettdailypost.com

Berkmar’s Al Durham, a target of some of the nation’s top basketball programs, discovered the right one over the weekend.

The junior announced his commitment to Indiana on Monday after visiting Saturday’s Hoosier Hysteria event. He chose Indiana over Florida, Clemson, Virginia Tech, Rhode Island and Louisiana Tech.

“The coaching staff stood out to me, Al how comDurham fortable they made me feel,” Durham said of Indiana. “They made me feel like I was at home. The school, the education I will get there is great. And the atmosphere was one of a kind.”

The recent trip — his second to Bloomington, his first was over the summer — was for the school’s Hoosier Hysteria.

“The fans came out and showed a lot of love,” Durham said.

The 6-foot-4 guard has been a varsity contributor for the Patriots since his freshman season and is ranked No. 100 in the Class of 2017 composite rankings by 247sports.com. He averaged 14.2 points, 5.6 rebounds and 3.1 assists last season for Berkmar’s state playoff team.

Durham was recruited to play both guard spots for the Hoosiers, and he is the first commitment in the junior class for the Big Ten Conference program.

“It means a lot (to play in the Big Ten),” Durham said.

“It comes with a lot, too. They expect you to be good and live up to the hype. I’m ready to take on the challenge.”

Thompson brothers happy to be reunited by Swarm

By Paul Thomas

DULUTH — As he waited in Toronto for the National Lacrosse League draft to begin, Lyle Thompson was a little nervous.

He hoped he would be the first player taken in Georgia Swarm president Andy Arlotta, Lyle Thompson and Miles Thompson speak at Monday’s press conference the draft, but ultimately he at the Infinite Energy Center in Duluth. (Photo: Paul Sasso) just wanted to end up on

the Georgia Swarm, who selected his brother Miles No. 3 overall the year before.

Back home at Onondaga Nation, N.Y., Miles had similar nerves.

“I was actually sitting on my phone and kept refreshing it,” Miles said. “Wondering, ‘Who’s going to go No. 1? Is he going to go?’

Once I saw that he went to Georgia, I yelled. I actu-

ally yelled. I was pretty pumped just to reunite with him again.”

Uniting the Thompson brothers has been a successful tactic at every level of lacrosse throughout the duo’s lives. In high school, they were both named All-Americans and chose to stay close to home at the University of Albany.

Their second season together at Albany, they led

the Great Danes to the first round of the NCAA tournament in 2013. The next year, they defeated Loyola in the first round and fell 14-13 in the quarterfinals to national runner-up Notre Dame.

The Thompson brothers were Co-Tewaaraton Trophy Award winners as Miles scored 82 goals

Many of the nation’s top NCAA Division I wrestlers will compete locally Sunday in the National Wrestling Coaches Association All-Star Classic, a 50th anniversary event that will be held at Georgia Tech’s McCamish Pavilion.

The showcase, which will be broadcast live for the first time on ESPNU, will feature a unique dual meet format as well as a few of the top wrestlers Gwinnett County has produced in recent years.

For one of the organizers, this Sunday is a labor of love. Rob Larmore, an All-American at William & Mary who lives in Atlanta area, helped get the event here, and it is tangible evidence of how wrestling in the state of Georgia has grown exponentially since Larmore’s time as a head coach at Westminster in the 1990s.

“The National Wrestling Coaches Association outlined the criteria we had to meet if we wanted to host,” Larmore said. “A large portion was to gather the necessary sponsorships to make this event, the biggest wrestling event in the state since the 1996 Olympics, happen.”

The golden anniversary event benefits both the NWCA and the Wrestlers in Business group, both of which are non-profit organizations. To celebrate, the NWCA has invited every wrestler who has taken part in this event dating back to 1966 to attend. This group includes Olympic and World

champions in wrestling.

Local wrestlers participating include 125-pounder Sean Russell, a Collins Hill graduate and fourtime state champion, who currently wrestles for Edinboro. He is coming off an 18-8 campaign as a freshman for the Scots.

This most likely will be the only time Russell gets to wrestle in his home state during his college career because there are no Division I wrestling programs in the state of Georgia.

Parkview grad Kamaal Shakur, who attends Chattanooga, will face Chad Pyke, formerly of Woodward Academy and currently at N.C. State, in a 157-pound match. Buford’s Chip Ness, also a four time high school state champion who now wrestles at North Carolina, will face fourtime Georgia state champion Chance McClure, a Commerce grad now at Virginia, in a 197-pound

match. Ness is coming off a 15-15 freshman season with the Tar Heels.

Other wrestlers with Georgia ties slated to compete are Jason Grimes (174 pounds/Holy Innocents/ American University) as well as a women’s match between Jennifer Juarez, who is attending Life College, vs. Cindy Calixto of Emmanuel College. These two schools are the only two in Georgia that offer women’s wrestling programs. Juarez moved from New York City to attend Life College specifically because they offered a wrestling program.

In addition to the local products, a who’s who of collegiate wrestling will be on the mat. Alex Dieringer (165) of Oklahoma State, a two-time NCAA champion, leads the lineup. The 2015 NCAA champions participating are Cody Brewer (141) from Oklahoma and Nathan Tomasello (125) of

Ohio State. Fellow NCAA champ Isaiah Martinez (157) of Illinois also was scheduled to appear, but an injury last week forced him to decline the invitation.

A total of 20 All-Americans are in the event.

“One of the great things about this event is that the results will have no impact on the wrestlers’ ranking or NCAA seeding,” Larmore said. “It is a pure exhibition of some the best returning college wrestlers in the country and they don’t have to worry about the result impacting them down the line.”

The doors open at 2:30 p.m. for Sunday’s undercard, with the main event scheduled for 5 p.m. Ticket prices start at $10. For more information on the matches and advance tickets, go to www.nwcaonline.com/NWCAWebSite/ Events/nwcaallstarclassic. aspx. Tickets can also be purchased at the door.

Brookwood, Mill Creek split for XC region meets From Staff Reports Before reconvening at the state championship meet, Gwinnett’s Class AAAAAA cross country teams split up this weekend for region meets.

Both the Region 7-AAAAAA and 8-AAAAAA championships will be held outside the county for a second straight year at the same location, the International Horse Park in Conyers. The meets lost their longtime home, Scott Hudgens Park in Duluth, prior to last season.

The two Gwinnett programs that battled for first and second at the county meet, Brookwood and Mill Creek, will compete for region titles separately this weekend before facing off again at the Nov. 7 state meet in Carrollton. Both

will be favorites to win their regions, though the Mill Creek boys face a substantial challenge from Peachtree Ridge.

and it went five games and we were fortunate to pull it out.”

Russell said one of the reasons the two teams are always so closely contested is because, stylistically, they’re very close.

“We’re very similar,” he said. “We rely on being able to be successful serving and in the passing game. Most of our offense comes from our outside hitters and both teams are very scrappy on defense and have to rely on that to be able to be successful. It’s hard when you’re looking in the mirror and it’s across the net from you.

“You have to do a couple things a little bit different to try to gain an advantage. In the matches we have played, when we have served aggressively and we’ve been able to establish the things on offense that we want to do, we’ve been successful.

When we haven’t, they’ve been able to prevail against us.”

Junior Abbey Gritters has led Wesleyan in serving with 62 aces, while also recording 928 assists.

Sophomore Elizabeth Bruehl has 55 aces.

At the net, senior Maddie Jones has 366 kills and 362 digs. Junior Noni Thompkins has also been a big presence with 201

kills and 89 blocks.

Junior Olivia Jordan (183 kills) has provided some offensive pop, while senior Jenny Van Laeke (141 kills and 29 blocks) has done a little bit of everything. Junior Audrey Mangum leads the team in digs with 591.

Russell said that both teams have grown immensely since their initial meeting this season, but he likes his team’s chances because of the chemistry they have.

“We’ve grown a lot, but so have they,” he said.

“They started the season 0-7 and are now 13-14.

They’ve won (five) in a row now and they had a very good win over a good GAC team in the quarterfinals. They’re obviously playing well and I thought Saturday was about the best we’ve played all season. I’m feeling good about where we’re at as a team. I think what makes this team special is the chemistry that this team has.

“This is probably one of the best chemistry teams I’ve had in all my years of coaching. They just really get along well.

They work hard for each other, they’re supportive of each other. I think sometimes that can take you a lot further than a lot of talent can. I think that’s been a big key for success this year.”

“It’s easy playing with guys like that,” Frazee said. “They’re so skilled.

My role is just to create space for those guys. Go to the net, get them the puck.

It’s lot of fun playing with them.

“It’s so important to have chemistry early on, especially in this league when there are guys getting called up and sent down. If you can establish some chemistry right away and play with guys consistently for a stretch of time, it goes a long way deeper into the season where you know what everyone is going to do.”

Nunn, who played against Frazee in the WHL and knew what the Gladiators were getting, acknowledged the trio didn’t hit their stride immediately.

But it was quick.

“None of us had played together before, so it took us all of training camp and most of exhibition to really find our way, but you can see now we’ve found that chemistry,” he said. “I think we’re getting better and better each night. Any time you can have a big body that can produce as well, it’s ideal.

boys teams’ lead runners also had a close competition at county, with Mill Creek’s Sam Costa taking first in 15:57 ahead of runner-up Nate Reichard of Peachtree Ridge (16:23).

At the recent Coach Wood Invitational, Costa placed seventh in 16:07 and teammate Noah Hollis was 12th in 16:09. Reichard was 15th in 16:23.

The 7-AAAAAA boys meet also features Mountain View’s Tyler Barber, last year’s Class AAAAAA and region runner-up. Barber placed in the Gold Division at Coach Wood, but his time of 16:39 would have put him outside the top 20 in the championship race.

Mill Creek’s girls team, which won county and finished third at Coach Wood, leads the way in the 7-AAAAAA girls

meet. The Hawks’ lineup includes county champion Camryn Petit and her sister Hannah, third at county.

Brookwood enters as the team favorite in the 8-AAAAAA meet after its boys team won county and its girls team finished as state runner-up. Both had top-10 finishes at the Coach Wood meet, finishing highest among teams from their region.

Bronco teammates Zach Israel (third at Coach Wood, third at county) and Gruem Tesfamariam (10th at Coach Wood, fourth at county) lead the boys team, while Lauren Flynt is Brookwood’s top girls runner. She was third at county and fifth at Coach Wood, finishing just ahead of Grayson’s Yanely Gomez, her 8-AAAAAA competitor, at both meets.

Gomez was fourth at county and seventh at Coach Wood. Parkview’s Melody Weiler also is coming off a nice showing at Coach Wood, finishing 18th in the championship race, while the Dacula girls had fifth- and sixth-place finishers at the county meet in Daniela Rodriguez and Kenedi Rodney.

The International Horse Park also will host the 8-AAAAA Championships, featuring Lanier and Discovery, on Saturday.

Gwinnett’s smaller regions will hold their championship meets Thursday — 8-AAAA at Unicoi State Park in Helen for Buford, 6-AA at Wesleyan for the host school and Greater Atlanta Christian and Class A Private Area 2 at Athens Christian for Hebron and Providence.

Frazee

a little more grit and size to our line definitely helps..”

After a tough 2014-15, in which he put up 41 points in 67 games despite three moves, Frazee has been able to settle in here.

“He’s got a good opportunity here and he’s fit in great,” Nunn said. “Last year I don’t think he really found a home. He played good hockey, put up some good numbers, but I think it’s nice to be able to have a hot start like he did here.

“I think a big part of it, too, is he really likes Atlanta. It makes it easier when you’re able to wake up excited about where you are and not worry about getting traded or what’s going to happen at the rink every day.”

Frazee came to the Gladiators as part of a two-part deal Brandt made with Toledo and Green-

ville last March. Brandt traded veteran defenseman Joe Stejskal to Toledo for point-producing forward Anthony Luciani. Brandt turned right around and sent Luciani to Greenville in exchange for Scott Arnold and future considerations, which ended up being Frazee and Ryan Hegarty.

Frazee is the only one of those three on this year’s roster after Hegarty opted to play in Europe.

He found out he was headed to Atlanta midway through this summer.

“I was more than happy,” he said. “I’m tired of moving around three or four times a year, so hopefully I can stay here. I’ve really enjoy it. I think what Andy’s doing here is so far so good. The city and the organization treats us firstclass, so it’s been great.”

The trade is certainly paying off for Brandt and the Gladiators, who got a smart, hard-working young forward in the deal.

“It’s tough on any player’s confidence (bouncing around), whether you’re a first-year guy or a fifthyear guy,” Brandt said.

“But one thing we talked about over the summer was coming down to Atlanta and getting to establish himself in an organization right from the get-go.

“There was obvious interest, otherwise we wouldn’t have acquired him. That kind of made him feel welcome and a part of it right away, knowing we wanted him and pursued him in a trade.

You add that with his work ethic coming in. He asks a ton of questions and wants to develop as a hockey player.”

always want the best for him and he always wants the best for me. Sometimes he’ll give up a shot that he should have taken, but I know for sure he has a lot of confidence in me.

He always puts the ball in my stick and wants me to create.”

Creating is what the Thompson brothers do best. Both play with a unique and creative flair that features highlight reel behind-the-back passes and shots and more than few creative scoring angles.

They said that comes from learning to play lacrosse in Medicine Games, which can feature hundreds of players on the field at once like the way Native Americans originally played the game.

“Being Native American the game carries a lot more meaning for us,” Lyle said.

“Any time we step on the field, any time we have a lacrosse stick in our hands we play with a different mindset. We play a different way, we play with that much more passion.

It’s always been a part of us. Right from when we could crawl, we’ve always had lacrosse sticks in our hands. Lacrosse to us, it means a lot, but I’m just thankful for everything it’s

given me. I’ve traveled the world through lacrosse.

I’ve got an education through lacrosse. A lot of things that wouldn’t have happened if it wasn’t for lacrosse. I’m thankful and I believe my job is to give back and help as many people as I can through this game and the way I do that is being the best player that I can be. I’m going to try to do my best, hopefully influence younger kids and get people in the stands and put on a show.”

This season, that show will take place in the Infinite Energy Center. Last year the Swarm were just 6-12, but after a successful draft that netted multiple scoring options and the hiring of head coach Ed Comeau, Lyle said he thinks the Swarm have a chance to make a run at the NLL title.

“You’ve got to put your expectations high,” he said.

“I might have missed two or three games last year, but I watched all (Miles’) games online and I went to … the close games that I could make. I see that this team has it and with the draft that we just had, I think we’re just as capable as anybody in this league. I’m going to go ahead and say we’re a championship team.”

Falcons offense has sputtered lately Toribio tally leads GGC to 1-0 win The Sports Xchange

The Atlanta Falcons improved to 6-1 with another fourth quarter come-frombehind victory over the Tennessee Titans on Sunday, but the offense has begun to sputter following a white-hot start to the season under new coordinator Kyle Shanahan.

The Falcons’ thirddown efficiency and in the red zone has steadily decreased. A rash of turnovers in the red zone has also stalled the attack.

Wide receivers Julio Jones and Roddy White contend that the offense is in a funk. Quarterback Matt Ryan clearly hasn’t been as sharp as he has been in previous seasons.

Jones had his first full week of practice last week, while Leonard Hankerson was limited in

practice. Now, Hankerson left the game with hamstring strain and won’t practice on Wednesday.

There was also the change at center because of Mike Person’s ankle injury. But head coach Dan Quinn doesn’t believe that the timing of the passing game is off.

“We think it’s more of factor of us taking care of the ball,” Quinn said.

“Making great decisions when we can. There is always going to be times whether if it be on a drop, in terms of a throw or a route that you like; can we get those details down just right. I think we can … I don’t have a sense for the timing being off. I thought we had honestly one of our best weeks of practice last week heading into the ball game.”

Quinn seemed more

perturbed by the penalties that slowed the offense.

The Falcons had three penalties on first down, two holdings (Andy Levitre and Jake Matthews) and one block in the back (White) that killed drives before they got started against Tennessee. White’s penalty brought back a 41yard run.

“We’ll be at our best when we don’t start some drives with first-and-20s and some long ones,” Quinn said. “That can make it extremely tough to get going. For one, let’s get rid of some of the penalties that start a drive at first-and-20. It’s so hard to convert when you get to that. We are at our best when we have the manageable third downs that we like.”

Turnovers in the red zone are also troubling for

Quinn.

“As far as the red zone, certainly, when we are heading down there, we want touchdowns not field goals,” Quinn said. “Of our turnovers, four of the 10 have occurred down in the red zone. That is a factor for sure as well. It’s an area of emphasis this week and certainly an area that we can get better at.”

Before the Monday night game, the Falcons ranked fifth in the NFL in total offense (403.1 yards per game) and fourth in scoring (27.6 points per game).

“Honestly, it’s about our whole offense and the different ways that we attack,” Quinn said. “Where we are headed … it’s all out there for us. We will do a better job of taking care of the ball, you bet we will.”

WASHINGTON — American Abby Wambach, who tallied more goals in international competition than any other soccer player in history, male or female, said on Tuesday she was retiring at age 35.

Wambach, a native of Rochester, N.Y., has been a key member of the U.S. women’s soccer team and announced her decision shortly after the squad was honored at the White House by President Barack Obama for winning the World Cup in July.

She scored 184 goals in 252 matches during a 15year career in international play.

Wambach said she will retire after the U.S. women’s national team ends its victory tour in December.

Her final match will be against China on Dec. 16 in New Orleans.

“After much deliberation

and talking with my friends, family, teammates and our coaching staff, I’ve decided to finally bring my soccer career to an end,” Wambach said in a statement.

“While we still have more work to do for women’s soccer, after bringing the World Cup back to the United States this summer, I’m feeling extremely optimistic about the future

of our sport.”

Wambach, a popular player and a vocal supporter of women’s sports, led the U.S. team in scoring in every world championship she played until this summer’s Women’s World Cup. “Abby is a player who has transcended our sport and her legacy as one of the world’s greatest play-

ers is set forever,” U.S. women’s soccer head coach Jill Ellis said.

“I am just extremely happy that she could end her career with that elusive World Cup title and go out on top, right where she deserves to be.”

In this summer’s World Cup in Canada, Wambach netted the winning goal in a 1-0 victory over Nigeria in the final game of group play. The Americans defeated Japan 5-2 in the championship match, winning their first World Cup title in 16 years.

As well as having played in four women’s World Cup tournaments, Wambach played in two Olympics, winning gold medals in 2004 in Athens, and 2012 in London. She missed the 2008 Olympics with a broken leg.

“It’s been an amazing, wonderful ride and I can’t wait to see what the next chapter of my life brings,” she said.

Tech must move Appleby’s heroics still resonate on from miracle

By Stan Awtrey Staff Correspondent

ATLANTA — Georgia Tech coach Paul Johnson reminded everyone on Monday that one miraculous play does not make the season. With four games remaining, the Yellow Jackets still have a chance to salvage the season and keep their bowl streak alive.

“I hope there’s a sense of urgency,” Johnson said. “I hope we never lost it. But you’ve got to take it game by game. You can’t get too far ahead of yourself and my message to the team will be, ‘Hey, we’ve got to try to get No. 4.’ I mean, you’ve got to try to get four.”

Johnson, whose team is 3-5, was reminding listeners that you don’t have a chance to reach the six wins needed to become bowl eligible unless you first win that fourth game. In Georgia Tech’s case, that could come this weekend against Virginia. The Yellow Jackets also have games remaining against Virginia Tech, Miami and Georgia.

One of the main concerns for Georgia Tech will be the ability to come down from the euphoric feeling brought about by the win over Florida State, play that’s now being widely called “The Miracle on Techwood Drive.” Johnson hopes his team will show up in Charlottesville feeling the urgency to keep winning.

“We’ve still got a big, big hole to dig out of,” he said.

“We’ve got to get ready to play. This is the next game and then we’ve got a bye week. So if we can pull ourselves back up to one game, the goal of the team right now is to get to a bowl game. So we’ve got to win four. We’ve got to get the

GEORGIA TECH AT VIRGINIA When: Saturday, 3:30 p.m. (ESPN3) Where: Charlottesville, Va.

number four here before the bye week and just keep pushing.”

The 22-16 win over Florida State earned several players national and regional recognition.

Specialist Lance Austin, safety Jamal Golden and kicker Harrison Butker were both named players of the week their positions by the Football Writers Association of America, which also cited the Yellow Jackets as its team of the week.

Austin and Golden were honored by the Atlantic Coast Conference.

Austin, a sophomore, picked up the blocked field goal and ran 78 yards for the winning score to complete the upset win. It was the first blocked field goal to be returned for a touchdown on a game’s final play since Southern Cal did it against Utah in 2011.

Golden, a sixth-year senior, led the defense with a career-high nine tackles, including seven solo stops, and intercepted a pass in the end zone, the eighth of his career. Golden was also the lead blocker in Austin’s game-winning return.

Butker, a junior, was 3-for-3 on field goals, including a 53-yarder that tied the game with 54 seconds remaining.

“Now hopefully we can take that and try to get some momentum and build on it,” Johnson said. “We’ve still got a big hole to dig out of, but we’re in better shape than we were a week ago.”

One day a few weeks ago, I drove over to Atlanta for lunch. When I returned, there was a message on my desk, “Richard Appleby, Hawaii, was here.”

There was an immediate flashback to Jacksonville, 1975, which left me with both a lift and a downer.

The lift came when there were immediate thoughts of his heroic end-around touchdown pass which enabled Georgia to defeat Florida in the old Gator Bowl. But I was overwhelmed with disappointment that I wasn’t in when he passed through Athens.

There was no phone number, no contact information and by the time I discovered a phone number, he had returned to his lair in the Pacific.

Remembering my friendship with Richard and my affection for one of the most sensational plays in the Vince Dooley era, there was a sentimental stir with my emotions as I paused in my office, in solitude while seeing him in my mind’s eye, run to his right toward the east stands, pulling the Florida defense in his direction, suddenly coming to a stop and dropping his right arm down near the turf, like a pitcher coming with a fast ball.

He planted his back foot and arched a long and timely overhand pass (it had something on it, and sailed as beautifully as a pass from Johnny Unitas would have in the great quarterback’s heyday) into the hands of a wide open Gene Washington. Final score: Georgia 10, Florida 7.

It was a stunning upset.

Florida had been heavily favored coming into the game with its vaunted

Loran Smith broken-bone offense scoring 29 points per game, rather exceptional for the times.

The Gators were scary.

Coaches always sing a worried song, but on Friday with kickoff less than 24 hours away, I have never seen Erk Russell so uptight.

“They are so good on offense that we might be embarrassed,” Erk said.

Florida dominated defenses that year in record-setting fashion.

The Gators had the capability of scoring by driving the ball down your throat or hitting you with a devastating bomb out of their versatile wishbone formation which had been tweaked to accommodate a dangerous passing attack.

They steamrolled defenses with their versatile offense, but they were also a homerun team. On top of that, the Gators had one of the best defenses in the Southeastern Conference.

The late Bill Pace was Georgia’s offensive coordinator. He always had a special play in his pocket to use when the situation warranted it. He felt confident that if Erk could keep it close, there might be an opportunity to come with a big play at the right time that could be the difference in the game.

That play would be the end around pass from Richard Appleby. Richard

was a rangy tight end (6foot-3, 212), who played sandlot games almost every day growing up in Athens. He was strong armed, there was thunder in his throwing motion, and he could hum it — he could throw an arching long ball which had a tight spiral which carried forward with finesse and alacrity.

The Georgia-Florida game was tight from start to finish. Neither team could gain the advantage.

The best Georgia could do for three-plus quarters was a field goal. The Bulldog defense wasn’t too shabby, holding the Florida offense to only seven points.

A couple of times during the game, Pace set up what became the winning pass by having Appleby run the end around without noticeable success. The play didn’t fool Florida, which must have brought about a certain smugness by the defense when Pace called for it late in the game.

This time it came about at the most propitious and critical moment.

When Pace decided to pull the trigger on the end around pass, he went over to the bench to talk to Richard while the Georgia punt return team was on the field.

The message was, “Get ready, we are going to run the end around pass in our next series.”

Richard had a classic comment about his pass after the game.

The 1970s were the era when Georgia traveled to road games by flying two prop-driven planes out of Ben Epps Field which meant that the traveling party was reduced to the lowest possible number.

Sports Illustrated sent a writer to cover the game,

but he was convinced that Florida was going to slam the Bulldogs. He spent all his time in Gainesville with the Gators. When the game was over, the writer asked Dooley if he could fly home with the Bulldogs to whom he had given little pre-game thought. There literally was no seat on the plane to take on one additional passenger, beyond the official party.

The plan was for the writer to come to Athens early Sunday to finish his story. Realizing there would be no way he could ask the heroes of the game to be available early Sunday morning to accommodate the magazine’s reporter, Vince asked if I would record several of the players including Appleby, Washington, Glynn Harrison and a few others.

I’m not sure if we still have the tape in our archives, but Richard’s comments were classic. When I interviewed Appleby, he told me about Pace coming to the Georgia bench late in the fourth quarter and telling him that he would soon be throwing the end around pass. I asked, “Were you nervous?”

With the widest of grins, Richard said, “You could say I was a little bit nervous, but you could also say I rose to the occasion.” His teammates howled with laughter.

Richard’s illuminating comment didn’t reach the pages of Sports Illustrated. In fact, it didn’t gain any traction with the local media, but I can tell you that his teammates reacted with such raucous laughter that it became one of the most memorable and unforgettable scenes of my Georgia career.
