Friends, family bid farewell to Webb

BY KEITH FARNER keith.farner@gwinnettdailypost.com

NORCROSS — Known as a political pioneer and trailblazer in her hometown and across Gwinnett, Lillian Webb could be found also at home tending to her yard, often on a riding lawn mower.

Family, friends and colleagues on Saturday afternoon gathered at Norcross First United Methodist Church to remember the redhead with blue eyeshadow who spoiled her grandchildren but also fought all the way to Washington to Lillian bring millions of dolWebb lars to her hometown of Norcross.

In a funeral service flanked by a string ensemble from Norcross High School and a bagpiper who led a processional playing “Amazing Grace,” Webb was remembered for being aggressive in the political arena, but gracious to all who interacted with her, and having a strong Christian faith. Webb died on Thursday. She was 87.

And while she was known for many firsts, including the first woman to chair the Gwinnett County Commission, along with being the first Republican, she was also the first woman to be mayor of Norcross. Yet family was ahead of politics.

“She belonged to the public and this community, but she was first a family person,” said the Rev. Brenda Westmoreland.

“She told me that if there ever needed to be a choice between politics and family,

BEHIND THE NAME

GGC dedicates new library in Kaufman’s honor

BY KEITH FARNER

keith.farner @gwinnettdailypost.com

LAWRENCEVILLE — In all the meetings Dan Kaufman had with state legislators and top education officials, there was one exchange he remembers from early in his tenure as president of Georgia Gwinnett College.

“Look, we’re never going to get accredited until we have a library,” Kaufman recalled on Friday afternoon. “And in the college world, accreditation is a big deal for a lot of reasons.

I don’t know if that was true or not, but that was my story.”

Kaufman went on to explain how the University System of Georgia moved plans to build a library at GGC up the list of planned construction projects around the state. The USG went on the basis of need, and not ranking on a list.

So in the fiscal 2008 budget, the $28.3 million project was among seven recommended to the Board of Regents, which submitted it to then-Gov. Sonny Perdue.

With his family looking on alongside campus and state education leaders, Kaufman said there is nothing he would

LAWRENCEVILLE — Emily Harlow was speechless when she was announced as the 2016 Miss Gwinnett County Saturday night during the Gwinnett County Fair at the fairgrounds.

The 2015 graduate of Brookwood was so happy that during the photo session with the official photographer, Harlow couldn’t stop shaking.

“I’m so happy,” she said. “This is something I’ve wanted since I started doing pageants three years ago.”

To get the title, Harlow faced six other contestants through a plethora of competitions, including swimsuit, talent and evening gown. Throughout the competition, judges looked for how poised the contestants were and how they carried themselves on stage.

It was during the talent portion of the competition where Harlow stole the show, giving the crowd a clogging performance they would remember.

The evening gown portion of the evening also included a question where the contestants picked a random question out of the bowl. The questions ranged from “Do you think veterans receive adequate medical care?” to “What one issue do your parents’ generation not get or understand?” Harlow’s question was whether she could justify the See QUEEN, Page 9A

Upscale department store celebrates grand opening

By Erika Wells

erika.wells @gwinnettdailypost.com

Upscale department store Von Maur hopes to continue its legacy of treating customers like family with the opening of its third location in Georgia on Friday.

The 140-year-old family-owned company decided to open a store in the Mall of Georgia in Buford following the success of its stores in Alpharetta and Dunwoody.

“Our customers enjoy themselves in a relaxed environment; we make the store feel like someone’s home,” said President Jim von Maur. “We have new goods each week and a friendly staff, and the store is beautiful.

We hit a home run.”

Von Maur was at the new location in Gwinnett County when it opened to the public Friday. A grand opening celebration including a ribboncutting, live music, giveaways and a meetand-greet with the entire von Maur family is set for Saturday.

“We offer a unique experience the minute the customers walk through the door,” von Maur said.

“I’m excited to see the third crown jewel in the Atlanta area.”

The 165,000 squarefoot anchor store features brand name and specialty apparel, accessories, gifts and shoes. The two-level store at the north end of the mall has an open floor plan and includes its signature grand piano.

Von Maur said that the store has been wellreceived by the community. But he hopes to familiarize even more people with the store and its services, such as free gift-wrapping and free delivery, an interest-free

charge card and a liberal return policy.

He said the store has deals without inundating shoppers with large sale signs.

“Many people haven’t heard of us at all, but when people learn about us they are hooked,” von Maur said.

Von Maur was founded 140 years ago in downtown Davenport, Iowa, by C.J. von Maur.

The company has 30 stores in 14 states and a 120,000-square-foot fa-

cility for online business.

Von Maur is confident that its e-commerce would not replace brickand-mortar stores in the future; instead it will enhance store business.

The company prides itself on considering its employee part of its family. The new store is expected to employ 200 mainly full-time associates.

“Our staff doesn’t constantly change,” von Maur said. “Our customers love the fact that

when they come they see the same people. We encourage (our employees) to start a career here.”

Von Maur said there are no immediate plans to add another location in Georgia because the company tends to open no more than two a year.

But he said the company

is “always on the lookout.”

“The only big challenge we have is that we’re the new kid on the block … but we’re one step closer to serving the whole metro Atlanta area,” von Maur said.

Former Gwinnett GOP chairman remembered Republicans mourned the loss of one of their own this past week.

The Gwinnett County Republican Party announced on Friday that one of its former leaders, Fred Meyer, passed away on Sept. 11. Members of the GOP who were involved in Gwinnett politics in the 1970s and 1980s will remember Meyer as the party’s local leader at that time.

“The Gwinnett Republican Party would like to extend its prayers and condolences to the family of Fred Meyer,” the local party said in a statement on its Facebook page.

Glucose tolerance test is best measure DEAR DR. ROACH: I am a 67-year-old man, in excellent health, who takes no medications and is very proactive about maintaining good health: I do fitness three days a week, yoga three days a week and I fast on Saturdays. On Sundays, I take weight, blood pressure and blood sugar readings.

I am writing to you about my blood sugar readings.

My fasting blood sugar readings are uniformly in the 90s, probably averaging 93. A friend suggested that I also should check my blood sugar reading one hour after eating. I did that, and it was a shocking 173. I have no symptoms or complaints concerning anything that might be related to blood sugar. Is this normal? Should I be checking into something, like diet, as a result of this? — L.A. ANSWER: This is not normal. If confirmed by a second test, you meet the diagnosis of diabetes, almost certainly Type 2.

In early diabetes, the only defect is the inability to respond to a sugar load.

That’s the reason a glucose tolerance test remains the best test to make the diagnosis of diabetes, even though it can be diagnosed by high fasting blood sugars (eventually), or by the A1c level (a measurement of overall blood glucose level in the past several weeks). You need to see your regular doctor or a diabetes specialist.

I am not yet a proponent of intermittent fasting (I am conservative, and won’t recommend a drastic change in lifestyle without good evidence). In people with diabetes, I think this idea is particularly bad.

Regular meals are important, and their composition is critical. In early diabetes, it’s the sugar load that the body has a hard time with. Since processed carbohydrates (such as white bread) are rapidly converted to sugar, the key is to have meals with protein and healthy fat, and to make the carbohydrates you eat come more from vegetables. I recommend you also see a registered dietitian nutritionist, who can help you with personalized information.

While you may need medication, at this point a very careful diet may be all that is needed to lower your blood sugars after eating and to prevent progression. In most people, weight loss also can reverse the resistance to insulin that is the hallmark of Type 2 diabetes.

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

Dear Amy: During a recent visit with my father (age 75) and my stepmother (age 64), my father informed me that I would be the executor of his will.

His will states that in the event of his death, everything would go to his wife (not my mother) and, subsequently, upon her death, anything remaining would go to me.

Being that I am his only child/daughter (they never had children) and we have a good relationship, I cannot help but feel hurt and angry.

My children (his only grandchildren, whom he professes to love so much), are not mentioned in his will, either.

Being that he is his wife’s sole provider and that she is 11 years his junior, I understand the practical side of this decision; however, emotionally, I can’t get over the fact that I will receive nothing from my father after his death.

Although I am to get “everything” remaining upon her death, the reality is that I will get nothing because when he dies, she will move back to Europe to live out the rest of her days, possibly even remarry, and anything left will just get absorbed into her new life.

Although I am married and financially stable, I am having a very hard time processing this news. I know it’s his money so he can do with

OBAMACARE:

A CRASH COURSE IN GOVERNMENT INEFFICIENCY Does anyone really believe that the federal government’s multi-TRILLION-dollar takeover of healthcare will make it better or cheaper or more efficient? Hillary Clinton says she does. But then, who can believe Hillary Clinton? Do you think the doctor who recently visited her at home and diagnosed pneumonia was paid by Obamacare? Doesn’t your Obamacare doctor visit you at home?

Everyone has heard about the U.S. military buying $500 hammers and $1,000 toilet seats. With Obamacare, it’s just a matter of time until we have $500 Band-Aids and $1,000 aspirin. Who’s going to pay for all that? Certainly not Hillary Clinton.

And what about the home financing industry? The U.S. government has taken over the business of financing homes by having the U.S. government essentially guarantee and then take over the largest mortgage companies in America (FNMA and FHLMC). Does anyone think that home mortgage companies run by the U.S. government will be better or more efficient? The total costs to homeowners, including increased taxes to pay for government involvement, will simply increase.

Do the American people really comprehend that our national debt has doubled with Barack Obama as president? Do people really understand the burden that is being transferred to our children and grandchildren? And what did we get for the $9 TRILLION of additional debt that must be repaid along with TRILLIONS in additional interest? The Clintons ended up with a multi-BILLION-dollar, family-run foundation that spends millions to pay for Hillary’s private jet travel. What did YOU get other than higher taxes and more national debt?

And how about government price fixing: The U.S. government has arbitrarily fixed the interest rate on your life savings at virtually zero, way less than the rate of inflation.

How about the U.S. government creating trade policies that enable China and Mexico and other countries to flourish while America stagnates and U.S. jobs move overseas?

Would you ever buy a pair of shoes from the U.S. government? How about clothes or food or a cell phone?

Of course not! That sounds like the old Communist Russia, doesn’t it? And we all know how that worked out for Russia and its citizens (as well as every other country that has been under expanded government control). How can people believe the government can provide better healthcare, or provide better home financing, when government could never even provide a better pair of shoes?

Government is essential for providing law and order, national defense, highways, and many other functions.

Government should not provide medical care, or manage home financing businesses, or undermine U.S. manufacturers, or make shoes.

Whatever happened to freedom and to our founding fathers’ belief of: Government is Best which Governs Least? Our founding fathers did not set up government managed healthcare and government managed home financing, etc., etc., etc. Instead, they set up limited government and individual freedom and America flourished and achieved the most significant advances ever achieved by any civilization in the history of the world! How have we done since government expanded into all areas of everyone’s life?

Is America a communist country? Or is it the land of the free and the home of the brave? The home of freedom and of the American Dream?

world False alarm leads to major police operation in central Paris PARIS — Parts of central Paris were cordoned off on Saturday after a false alarm triggered a major security operation, French police said.

French government security alert app — SAIP — warned citizens that a police operation was underway in Saint-Leu church in the busy shopping district of Chatelet and advised people to stay away.

Interior minister Bernard Cazeneuve issued a statement confirming the false alarm and said that “the circumstances around the intervention” had yet to be determined.

More than 100 police officers, including elite units, carried out the operation and the area was reopened to traffic after it became evident that there was no danger, a Reuters witness said.

China issues alert for second typhoon in week SHANGHAI — China is bracing for its second typhoon in a week after government raised their alert to “orange” for Typhoon Malakas on Saturday, just as southeastern provinces continue to clean up after an earlier, stronger storm, state news agency Xinhua reported.

Malakas will be the 16th storm of this year’s typhoon season, coming after Typhoon Meranti made landfall in Fujian province on Thursday. That storm has killed at least 28 people in China and Taiwan and cut power to more than a million homes.

Ahead of landfall, Meranti drew a “red alert” in China’s warning system for severe weather that ranks red as most serious, followed by orange, yellow and blue.

Meranti has since caused over $2.53 billion of damage, authorities said.

Malakas is expected to bring heavy rains to the coasts of Zhejiang and Fujian provinces as well as parts of Taiwan from Saturday night to today, Xinhua reported quoting China’s National Meteorological Center.

world&nation U.S.-led forces strike Syrian troops Russia calls emergency U.N. meeting

By Angus McDowall and Andrew Osborn Reuters

BEIRUT/MOSCOW — U.S.-led coalition air strikes killed dozens of Syrian soldiers on Saturday, Russia and a monitoring group said, putting a U.S.-Russian brokered cease-fire in jeopardy and prompting Moscow to seek an emergency U.N. Security Council meeting.

The United States military said the coalition stopped the air strike against what it had believed to be Islamic State positions in northeast Syria after Russia informed it that Syrian military personnel and vehicles may have been hit.

A U.S. military official said he was “pretty sure” targets mistakenly hit in the coalition strikes were Syrian forces.

Russia called for an emergency meeting of the United Nations Security Council after the air strikes, which allowed Islamic State militants to briefly overrun a Syrian army position near Deir al-Zor airport.

“We are reaching a really terrifying conclusion for the whole world: That the White House is defending Islamic State. Now there can be no

nation Race tightens in projected vote of Electoral College

NEW YORK — An election analysis conducted in the Reuters/Ipsos States of the Nation project shows that the race has tightened considerably over the past few weeks, with Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump projected to win Florida, an essential battleground state, if the election were held today.

The project, which is based on a weekly tracking poll of more than 15,000 Americans, shows that the 2016 presidential race could end in a photo finish on Nov. 8, with the major-party candidates running nearly even in the Electoral College, the body that ultimately selects Hostage freed by the president.

BY KEITH FARNER Consider these when assessing a senior assisted living facility. The decision of if, when and where to move” resides solely with you and your loved one.

TIP # 1: OBSERVE THE LEVEL OF CLEANLINESS....FOLLOW YOUR NOSE. Does the community smell clean? Look beyond the furniture and into the corners and baseboards.

Ask about what maintenance is included and how often, from changing light bulbs to fixing leaky pipes. Be sure and get the details about laundry, an important but often overlooked detail.

Remember that sudden odors can be temporary and can happen anywhere. If the unpleasant smell lingers throughout the facility, other problems might be present.

TIP # 2 VISIT DURING AN ACTIVITY Visit during a community activity. Are they well attended? Do they seem to match your loved ones’s interests? What sort of trips and outings are planned outside the communityLook at the calendar of events to get an idea of routine activities.

Inquire about religious services, the type and frequency.

TIP # 3 EAT A MEAL AT THE PROPERTY Like all of us, dining rooms and mealtimes are important to seniors. Having a meal at the facility allows you to get an idea of the food quality and meet other residents. Ask about procedures if a resident cannot get to the dining room.

TIP# 4 PAY ATTENTION TO STAFF FRENDLINESS AND ATTITUDE Observe staff interacting with other residents. Do they listen and make eye contact? Get a definite idea of ratio of staff to residents. How many are involved in each resident’s care. Meet the management team. The care of your loved one will likely involve personal care; notice the cleanliness and appearance of current residents. Are they clean shaven and appropriately dressed?

TIP# 5 ASK SECURITY AND SAFETY QUESTIONS Security and safety of your loved one 24/7 is vitally important for them and for your peace of mind.

Make sure the bathrooms are accessible and have ‘grab bars’ in key locations.

Find out about the staffing patterns to determine who is on-site at all times to assist residents. Are there registered nurses on site? How do staffing patterns differ at night? How are medications dispensed and what, if any, is the extra charge for this?

TIP # 6 MOVE OUT CRITERIA What are the requirements for moving out and the circumstances under which a resident would be asked to leave? What type of notice is required by both parties?. A 30 -day written notice may be required. Verify all of this in the contract before signing.

TIP # 7 TRUST YOUR INSTINCTS Seriously imagine you or your lived one living there. Would they be comfortable?

Do you feel at ease? Is your overall impression that the staff is open, inviting and friendly? Follow your gut instincts and heart is the best advice.

These tips are by no means everything, but will get you started and thinking about the specifics of this major life decision for you and your loved one.

forming third-, fourth-, and fifth-graders.

If Smith’s proposal is granted, it would serve students at Brookwood and Meadowcreek elementary schools.

The proposal is not a “skill and drill” method, Smith said, it looks more like enrichment with elements of real-life application and project-based learning. It would include the construction of a community garden and aquaponics system, with economics lessons integrated alongside lessons about entrepreneurship.

Students would apply and interview for jobs in the garden, and create businesses related to the garden, and if successful, sell produce at local farmers markets.

Technology will be in the form of iPads to make performanced-based videos that demonstrate academic standards and documentaries to monitor progress.

Smith explained the grant proposal to the School Board on Thursday, and said representatives from Farmers

“

Dr. Smith is very passionate about helping atrisk students in an after-school intervention program that is innovative and engaging for students.”

Insurance traveled from California to Brookwood to interview Carter and herself for an infomerical about the grant.

“We were told that our grant is the most unique and innovative opportunity that they have seen for students because it incorporates entrepreneurship and STEM with academics,” she said.

If afforded this grant, the schools would receive: • 50 iPads and cases; • An industrial-strength aquaponics system; • $10,000 to build and maintain a garden; and • $20,000 worth of Fountas & Pinnell Leveled Literacy Intervention kits.

REUTERS NEW YORK — A pipe bomb exploded in a New Jersey beach town on Saturday along the route of a charity road race to benefit military veterans and their families.

No injuries or damage to surrounding structures was reported after an explosive device went off at 9:35 a.m. in a plastic garbage container ahead of the 5-kilometer race in Seaside Park, a resort about 80 miles south of New York City.

Even so, the explosion stirred dark memories of the deadly blasts at the finish line of the Boston Marathon in 2013 that killed three people and wounded more than 260 others.

Trump on the rise, Clinton on the decline WASHINGTON — If you are the status quo candidate in a change election in which the national mood is sour and two-thirds of the electorate think the country is on the wrong track, what do you do?

Attack. Relentlessly. Paint your opponent as extremist, volatile, clueless, unfit, dangerous. Indeed, Hillary Clinton’s latest national ad, featuring major Republican politicians echoing that indictment of Donald Trump, ends thus: “Unfit. Dangerous. Even for Republicans.”

That was the theme of Clinton’s famous “altright” speech and of much of her $100 million worth of ads.

Problem is, it’s not working.

Over the last month, Trump’s new team, led by Kellyanne Conway, has worked single-mindCharles edly to blunt that Krauthammer line of attack on the theory that if he can just cross the threshold of acceptability, he wins. In an act of brazen rebranding, they set out to endow him with stature and empathy.

Stature was acquired in Mexico whose president inexplicably gave Trump the opportunity to stand on the world stage with a national leader and more than hold his own. It’s the same stature booster Sen. Barack Obama pulled off when he stood with the French president at a news conference in Paris in 2008.

That was part one: Trump the statesman. Part two: the kinder gentler Trump.

Nervy. Can you really repackage the boasting, bullying, bombastic, insulting, insensitive Trump into a mellow and caring version? With two months to go? In a digital age in which every past outrage is preserved on imperishable video?

Turns out, yes. How? Deflect and deny — and pretend it never happened. Where are they now — the birtherism, the deportation force, the scorn for teleprompters, the mocking of candidates who take outside money? Down the memory hole.

Orwell was wrong. You don’t need repression.

You need only the sensory overload of an age of numbingly ephemeral social media. In this surreal election season, there is no past.

Clinton ads keep showing actual Trump sound bites meant to shock. Yet her numbers are dropping, his rising.

How? Trump never goes on the defensive. He merely creates new Trumps. Hence: 1. The African-American blitz. It’s a new pose and the novelty shows. Trump is not very familiar with the language. He occasionally slips, for example, into referring to “the blacks.” And his argument that African-Americans inhabit a living hell and therefore have nothing to lose by voting for him hovers somewhere between condescension and insult.

But, as every living commentator has noted, the foray into African-American precincts was not aimed at winning black votes but at countering Trump’s general image as the bigoted candidate of white people.

Result? A curious dynamic in which Clinton keeps upping the accusatory ante just as Trump keeps softening his tone — until she finds herself way over the top, landing in a basket of deplorables, a phrase that will haunt her until Election Day. (Politics 101: Never attack the voter.)

2. The immigration wobble. A week of nonstop word salad about illegal immigration left everyone confused about what Trump really believes. Genius. The only message to emerge from the rhetorical fog is that he is done talking about deportation and/or legalization. The very discussion is off the table until years down the road.

Case closed. Toxic issue detoxified.

Again, that’s not going to win him the Hispanic vote. But that wasn’t the point. The point was to soften his image in the Philadelphia suburbs, pundit shorthand for white college-educated women that Republicans have to win (and where Trump trails Romney 2012 by 10 points). Which brings us to: 3. The blockbuster child care proposal. Unveiled Tuesday, it is liberalism at its best, Big Government at its biggest: tax deductions, tax rebates (i.e. cash), and a federal mandate of six weeks of paid maternity leave. The biggest entitlement since, well, Obamacare.

But wait. Didn’t Trump’s acolytes assure us that he spoke for those betrayed by the sold-out, elitist, GOP establishment that for years refused to stand up to Obama’s overweening mandates, Big Government profligacy and budget-busting entitlements?

No matter. That was yesterday. There is no past.

Nor a future — at least for Ivanka-care. It would never get through the GOP House.

Nor is it meant to. It is meant to signal what George H. W. Bush once memorably read off a cue card. “Message: I care.”

And where do you think Trump gave this dishthe-Whigs cradle-to-college entitlement speech?

Why, the Philadelphia suburbs!

Can’t get more transparent than that. Or shameless. Or brilliant.

And it’s working.

Charles Krauthammer’s email address is letters@charleskrauthammer.com.

Freedom to disrepect goes both ways Who cares what Colin Kaepernick, the sage of San Francisco, thinks? Really. So why am I writing about him?

Because people have asked me to weigh in and I will do it this one time.

Here is a guy who refuses to honor the national anthem until the American flag “represents what it is supposed to represent.” For one thing, he doesn’t care much for the men and women of law enforcement.

To be sure we haven’t missed the point, he has donned socks with pictures of pigs wearing police caps.

All he has managed to do to date is to further harden the position of demagogues on both sides of this issue as well as make a lot of fair-minded people wonder if anybody really wants meaningful dialogue or do they just want to posture and preen. In football parlance, he has thrown the opportunity for reasonable dialogue for a loss. But, consider the source.

The guy gets paid $10.4 million a year to run around with a plastic bucket on his head and throw an oblong cowhidecovered rubber bladder to the cheers of a bunch of people seriously in need of a life.

Those with more knowledge on the subject than I — which isn’t saying much — believe he was on the brink of being cut

Dick Yarbrough and this was all a ploy. Cut him and you turn him into a martyr and give the bullhorn bleaters a hero.

He is no hero. As you read here last week, I was in the presence of real heroes who were being honored at the annual Peace Officers’ Association of Georgia convention in Savannah for bravery above and beyond the call of duty.

Their aggregate annual salary won’t come close to approaching what this guy makes.

However, they do something far more important than he ever will.

These people pull suspected drug dealers out of burning automobiles. They pull suicidal citizens off bridges. They brave numbingly cold water to save young children suffering hypothermia. They try to diffuse domestic conflicts and face down hostage takers only to get shot at for their efforts. Meanwhile, this guy runs around with a

plastic bucket on his head and throws an oblong cowhidecovered rubber bladder.

The thing that stood out to me from being around those officers honored at the Peace Officers’ meeting was that some were there with their spouses. Spouses are heroes in their own right. When their loved ones leave for work, they don’t know if they are coming back home or not. That is not a problem for Mr. Bucket Head, who, after spending Sunday afternoon playing a kid’s game, knows he will be safely returning to his $2.7 million abode in Santa Ana, Calif.

Mr. Bucket Head says it is easier to become a police officer than it is to become a cosmetologist. I wonder if he has ever been to the Georgia Public Safety Training Center in Forsyth? Is he familiar with their training in terrorism response? How to survive an ambush? Crime scene investigation? Hostage negotiations?

Traffic accident reconstruction?

Sexual abuse of children? Has he been taught how to sensitively inform a family that their loved one has been killed in a traffic accident? Does he even know where Forsyth is?

Does he know how hard the law enforcement community is working to get rid of the few bad apples that taint the

It is easier to just denigrate all law enforcement officers and incite others to do the same.

Does this guy have the right to show his contempt for our national anthem and for law enforcement? Absolutely. It is called freedom of expression.

It is a constitutional guarantee and he is lucky to live in a country that allows it. If he was in Iran and chose to sit out “Sorude Melli” while it was being played, (“O Martyrs!

Your clamors echo in the ears of time.”) he’d find his fanny in the Revolutionary Court faster than you can say “Hut, one.

Hut, two.” I suspect it would be all downhill from there.

But this is America. The Land of Disrespect. Mr. Bucket Head has every right to disrespect the flag, the national anthem, those who are sworn to serve and protect us and anything else he wishes. That means that I also have the same right to disrespect him and all he represents. And I do.

Health doesn’t prove president’s fitness It’s been a long time since I’ve seen so much made of an old woman’s cough. I travel with old folks for a living — and a few younger ones, understand — and they cough a lot. They also faint from time to time, are prone to a seizure here and there and the Lord knows that older ladies fall down.

Of course none of the people on my trips intends to run for president of the United States, at least not so far as I am aware.

But Hillary Clinton is, and she has been under the weather for a while now. Folks are circulating all manner of rumors about her condition, and there is a world of speculation about her fitness to wear the mantle of the Leader of the Free World.

Now I’ve made no secret of the fact that I don’t feel she is worthy of the job, but my objections have nothing to do with her health. My objections have a lot more to do with her dishonesty and lack of character, but I wish her well on any physical maladies she might be suffering. Besides, we’ve had presidents with health issues before and, up until now, the Republic has survived,

president in bed and then died.

John Tyler took over and did a fine job. So, see. No need to panic.

Woodrow Wilson had a stroke while he was president.

He just flat wore himself out on the campaign trail, trying to garner votes for the country to Darrell Huckaby ratify the Treaty of Versailles, which would have put us in the League of Nations.

he started us down a slippery slope toward a welfare state, but none of his shortcomings had anything to do with his physical condition. He was a tough old bird.

Speaking of tough old birds, Ronald Reagan was able to clean up the mess left over from the disaster of Jimmy Carter’s presidency, and he may or may not have had serious health issues toward the end of his tenure. I know that he was shot in the chest about three months into his presidency and proved that day that even though he walked through the valley of the shadow of death we had nothing to fear, because he was the toughest old bird in the valley.

Now of course we have a young healthy president. He is healthy enough for pick-up basketball and plays golf more often than Jordon Speith. You see where that’s gotten us.

So, please, don’t vote against Ms. Clinton because she is sick. Just vote against her because she is a confirmed liar, should be in federal prison and is crooked as 3 miles of North Georgia mountain highway.

That’s just my opinion, of course, but mine is the only one I have.

Georgia Prospers gears up to fight religious liberty bill

By Jim Thompson GPA News Network

Concerned that a “religious liberty” bill like the one vetoed by Gov. Nathan Deal earlier this year is coming back to the state legislature as it convenes in January, a business coalition including some of the state’s largest corporate enterprises is moving to expand support for “the principle of nondiscrimination as a key to building and maintaining an economically competitive state.”

In vetoing the bill, which would have allowed faith-based organizations to fire employees who weren’t in accord with their beliefs, and would have required government to prove a “compelling interest” before interfering with someone’s exercise of religion, Deal noted, “Our people work side by side without regard to the color of our skin, or the religion we adhere to. We are working to make life better for our families and our communities. That is the character of Georgia.

I intend to do my part to keep it that way.”

In the House, where the bill passed on a 104-65 vote, two members of Athens’ legislative delegation, Democrat Spencer Frye and Republican Chuck Williams, opposed the measure, while Republican Regina Quick supported it.

In the Senate, where the bill passed with a 37-18 vote, both Athens-area senators, Republicans Bill Cowsert and Frank Ginn, supported the measure.

At an April candidate forum in Oconee County, in advance of a GOP primary which he won to return to the Senate, Cowsert said the bill will be back in front of the Georgia General Assembly in 2017.

“We’re not giving up on that,” he said.

Georgia Prospers, the business coalition working to keep the measure from getting a second look, on the basis that what is widely viewed as a broadly discriminatory

•From Page 1A

measure is an impediment to economic development in the state, actually formed in advance of this year’s legislative session.

The group was pleasantly surprised that a corporate backlash against the bill, and the prospect that the state might lose some significant new corporate investment and its associated jobs, was at least part of the reason it was vetoed, according to its new director and its chairman.

“What we’re going to continue to do is educate people,” Georgia Prospers director Brian Robinson, a former Deal spokesman, said in a Thursday interview at the Athens BannerHerald.

Robinson and Ronnie Chance, a former state senator now serving as the chairman of Georgia Prospers, pointed to North Carolina, where the National Collegiate Athletic Association and the National Basketball Association announced recently they would not host signature events in the state. Those decisions were made on the basis of a similarly discriminatory measure passed by state lawmakers that prevents cities and counties in the state from establishing legislative protections based on sexual orientation and gender identity.

On Wednesday, the collegiate Atlantic Coast Conference announced it would move its neutral-site athletic championships for this year and next year out of North Carolina.

A legislative initiative like Georgia’s religious liberty bill does nothing that isn’t already accomplished in the First Amendment to the Constitution, Robinson said Thursday, “It does one thing effectively — kills jobs,” he said.

In contrast to the troubles in North Carolina, Robinson pointed to the recent announcements of new jobs coming to Georgia in the wake of the governor’s veto of House Bill 757.

Suwanee •From Page 1A Mayor Jimmy Burnette was among the City Council members who passed out candy along the route.

He’s participated in the event every year except one since it started in the early 1980s, even when he used to cook hot dogs and hamburgers at the old fire station.

“It’s always high energy,” said Burnette, who expected about 60,000 people at the two-day festival in Town Center Park. “It brings everybody together.”

The roughly one-mile parade traveled up Main Street to LawrencevilleSuwanee Road and then down Buford Highway to Town Center Park, where the arts and crafts exhibitors and food vendors were expected to be set up through this evening.

Nearly 200 vendors and exhibitors, 15 entertainment acts and a four-part training course for superheroes in training were among the attractions that

drew the crowds.

It all led up to one of the main attractions on stage, a Michael Jackson cover band called Who’s Bad on Saturday evening.

Leon Heyward has lived in the Suwanee area for about 10 years, and said he’s attended six or seven Suwanee Fests.

He was in prime position across from the police station recording the parade on his cellphone as he and his family waited on his niece, a member of the Collins Hill High School dance team.

“It shows how many families come out to support the kids and see what

all the different schools do to support the children,” he said. “Gwinnett comes together and Suwanee specifically. The fact that people are here on a Saturday morning to support them means a lot.”

The festival is set to continue from noon to 5 p.m. on Sunday.

Library

•From Page 1A treasure more than the honor he received on Friday afternoon. It was before a host of local and state dignitaries that the Daniel J. Kauman Library and Learning Center was dedicated in his honor.

Three years after Kaufman left GGC to become the president of the Gwinnett Chamber of Commerce, the school celebrated its latest first: Naming a building after someone.

With a standing-roomonly crowd looking on, including a packed staircase, Kaufman and his onetime “wingman,” current President Stas Preczewski, described the development of the GGC campus and Kaufman’s impact on it.

“I cannot tell you what this means to me and my family,” said Kaufman,

the first president of the college.

With words from speeches he had given over the years printed on the event’s program, Kaufman said he would be “uncharacteristically brief” and then told stories of how the library was designed and developed so as not to be a “warehouse of books.”

“Rather it would be a collaborative learning space that would become, we hoped, the intellectual center of campus for decades to come,” he said.

Added Richard Tucker of the Board of Regents, “A naming of a major building on a college campus is not to be taken lightly. You have to have a deserving recipient. Fortunately, as was pointed out, this one’s still living.”

Kaufman was named president of the thenunnamed college in 2005,

and worked to open the institution a year later. In August 2006, 118 students enrolled at GGC. Enrollment this year is about 13,000.

The library houses 37 study rooms for group and project work, along with a tutoring program and the Center for Teaching Excellence which is available for faculty.

“Today, we ensure that all future generations of Grizzlies will be reminded of our founding president,” Preczewski said.

Chancellor Hank Huckaby was among the speakers at the event, and he noted that Kaufman’s eight-year tenure began with 11 staff members and those 118 students.

“The model that Dr. Kaufman put in place (and) is now standing, I wish we could replicate it in other parts of, not just Georgia,

but other parts of the country,” Huckaby said. “So Dan, congratulations, this is an appropriate honor.

What better place to have your name on than the library and learning center, the very heart and soul of the academic enterprise.”

Dean of Library Services Gene Ruffin remembers the first version of the library was squeezed into half of the first floor and part of the second floor of Building B. Ruffin said Kaufman realized the college needed an intellectual center and, like Huckaby said, a heart.

“He understands that education is more than the sheer acquisition of skills and facts,” Ruffin said.

“That education at its essence is at the heart of this continuous experiment that we call democracy. And he understands that a library is the heart of education.”

“Lillian Webb was known to pay her political debts,” her son said.

That payment came to fruition at the old Gwinnett Fairgrounds when John saw his mom in a booth where a banner hung that read “Talmadge for Georgia.”

John spelled it out for the audience at the service: The chairman of the Gwinnett County Republican Party and an executive board member was at the Talmadge for Georgia booth.

“That’s something else,” said John, who recalled the Republican senate sweep of 1980. “She did it. The city got a new sewer system and everybody could flush with pride.”

Her friend and colleague James V. Burgess also spoke at the service.

Burgess said he met Webb in the early 1980s when a committee Webb was on selected Burgess to serve as executive director of the Georgia Municipal Association, an organization that represents more than 500 cities in Georgia.

Burgess recalled a district meeting in the South Georgia town of Willacoochee, and they followed the meeting with a catfish fry and then a place called the No Name Bar that wasn’t larger than a “cracker box” with a jukebox.

“If you could’ve seen Lillian Webb and Jack jitterbugging among all of those elected officials in that little teeny bar,” Burgess said. “I’ll never forget that experience.”

Webb

•From Page 1A family came first. She said to drop whatever needed to be dropped to be with family.”

Westmoreland explained that the scripture John 14:1-7 was read not only because Webb believed it, but because it was at the heart of the gospel.

Westmoreland said Webb regularly asked for prayers for her family, the nation and world, but never for herself.

Westmoreland remembered Webb as willing to stand up for her beliefs, like the time in her bathrobe when she stopped a crew attempting to tear down the Norcross Depot.

The valedictorian of her high school class valued

education, Westmoreland said. But for special occasions, Webb would take her children out of school, like when a B-17 plane that was in the 1962 movie “The War Lover” was at the

Atlanta airport and she and her children were permitted access to explore the plane.

Or when she heard the news that it was snowing in the Carolinas, they ditched school and got on the road

to enjoy it.

Her son, John, who spoke at the service, remembered a time in the late 1970s when Gwinnett experienced tremendous growth and expansion, including a new sewer system. However, the city of Norcross couldn’t afford it, and the county couldn’t help connect and tie on with the county’s system.

“Well I’m going to go get it from the feds,” John recalled his mother saying.

With a thick accent, John Webb told a story using an impersonation of U.S. Senator Herman Talmadge, a Democrat, who said he would help Webb with the $3.5 million to $4.5 million she needed for the sewer as long as she helped him on his re-election bid.

UGA fraternity suspended for ‘sustained hazing’

By Ed Morales

GPA News Network

The University of Georgia’s Pi Kappa Phi fraternity was placed on a one-year suspension effective Sept. 7 after admitting to a “sustained hazing of University students” as detailed in an informal resolution agreement with the university’s Office of Student Conduct.

The fraternity violated four University Conduct Regulations, admitting to “forcing and/or requiring the consumption of tobacco products, holding line-ups, requiring participation in physical activities including push-ups, and throwing food and condiments at students,” according to a document obtained by OnlineAthens. com/Athens Banner-Herald

in an open record request.

This is not the first time Pi Kappa Phi faced a yearlong penalty. In 2010, the Lambda chapter was suspended after allegations some of its members paddled pledges during a fall initiation. The chapter president admitted the fraternity violated several UGA regulations, including “physical abuse, verbal abuse, threats, in-

timidation, coercion and/or other behavior that threatens or endangers the health or safety of another person.”

While not fully detailed in the informal resolution, the present suspension stems from events last month.

According to the document, “the three individuals responsible for the electronic message sent to associate members of the Chapter …

as well as all individuals present and participating in hazing activities occurring on Aug. 24 shall be prohibited from having any involvement in the operations or activities of the Chapter and shall be ineligible to regain their status as an undergraduate member of the Chapter as part of the membership review outlined herein,” the resolution states, adding “the

National Fraternity shall adjudicate conduct cases for each of these individuals, recommending their expulsion from Pi Kappa Phi.” Pi Kappa Phi president Hunter Kelly signed the informal resolution in which the fraternity takes “full responsibility for the incident” and waives the right to a formal disciplinary hearing and appeal.

There are around 40 breweries in Georgia, many of which will be touted at the Conyers festival. At press time, Jueschke was still compiling a list of the 80 beers that will be featured, but she said Terrapin Beer Company (Athens), Sweetwater (Atlanta), Southbound Brewing (Savannah), Reformation Brewery (Woodstock), Jekyll Brewing (Alpharetta) and Jail House Brewing (Hampton) are among the Peach State entries.

The Conyers festival will differ from other similar events in that patrons will be able to sample as many concoctions as possible.

“A ticket to this festival gets you unlimited tastes,” Jueschke said, admitting that she enjoys an occasional beer but is by no means an expert. “At some beer festivals they give you tickets and only let you taste so many (beers), but we’re offer-

ing unlimited tastes. Of course, we want people to taste responsibly.”

Food will be available at the festival, as will musical entertainment by the Eastside Ramblers, whom Jueschke says play “50s, blues, country, classic rock and Southern rock, and are a lot of fun.”

And beer fans who also happen to be football fans (or, more to the point, Georgia Bulldogs football fans) won’t have to miss the game as the pavilion will be outfitted with a big-screen television to provide the play-by-play coverage of Georgia’s noon Southeastern Conference battle at Ole Miss.

Tickets for the festival — which is set to run from 1-5 p.m. — are $35. For more information on tickets, visit www. conyersbeerfest.com or call Rainie Jueschke at 678-607-6184.

“I really think this is going to grow,” Jueschke said. “This is just our second year and we’re getting better organized for this year. It’s a fun event for our community and we do it to raise money to support this community.”

Brookwood sweeps XC county championships

By Chris Stephens Staff Correspondent

CONYERS — It was a good day for Brookwood as both teams swept the individual and team titles at the Gwinnett County Cross Country Championships Saturday at the Georgia International Horse Park.

The boys placed three in the top five, scoring 54 points, while the girls placed three in the top 10, scoring 45 points.

“Coming in, we were re-

ally nervous that the Brookwood reputation was on the line,” said Lauren Flynt, who also won the girls’ race in a time of 18:52.71.

For Flynt and company, beating Mill Creek (which finished second with 59 points) was especially important considering the Hawks beat them at county, the Coach Wood Invitational and the state meet last year. Not to mention, the Broncos came into the race ranked eighth in the AllClass rankings according to

Georgia Milesplit, while the Hawks were ranked second.

“This win was really important for us,” she said.

Last year, we did lose and it was a little hard on us.

Coming back and winning it this year was really big.

We’re still here, we’re back and we’re ready to go.”

In addition’s to Flynt’s win, which was a day after her birthday, the Broncos also got strong finishes from Elizabeth Brookwood’s Zunair Manzoor crosses the finish line and gets first place at the Gwin-

“We knew they had just played against a tough Mill Creek team,” Buford coach Hadli Daniels said.

“I think we took advantage of it. We played a solid match right there, probably the most solid we played all day.”

Buford was more than just solid coming out of the gate in the championship match, scoring off of nine straight serves from Curry, including an ace from the defending Daily Post Player of the Year, plus two kills from Avery Cason off sets See WOLVES, Page 4B

G-Braves have plenty to reflect on after eventful season

By David Friedlander david.friedlander@ gwinnettdailypost.com

LAWRENCEVILLE — There are usually so many pivotal moments in a given baseball game, much less a best-of-five playoff series, that it’s often hard to pinpoint any one as the turning point.

Such was pretty much the case as the Gwinnett Braves fell to the Scranton/ Wilkes-Barre RailRiders in the International League’s Governor’s Cup championship series.

Whether it was a disas-

Moosic, Pa., or two critical innings in the RailRiders cup-clinching 3-0 win in Game 4 Friday night at Coolray Field, there were several moments throughout the series that had the G-Braves wondering about what might have been.

Ultimately, however, manager John Moses said the key to Scranton’s 3-1 series victory to capture the franchise’s second Governor’s Cup, and first The Gwinnett Braves’ Rob Wooten pitches during Friday in eight years, came down night’s Governor’s Cup game at Coolray Field.

Cave’s slide that kept the fifth inning of Friday’s game alive and ignited a two-run rally.

The RailRiders simply did a better job of executing at critical times than the G-Braves did.

“Give those guys credit,” Moses said. “(Scranton/ Wilkes-Barre manager) Al (Pedrique) does a great job over there. The coaches over there do a fantastic job. They had a heck of a team the whole year. It came down to trying to get some runs, and we just couldn’t get them.”

Indeed, Moses’ final

observation may have illustrated the biggest difference between the two teams in the series.

The G-Braves got solid pitching throughout the series, including excellent starts from Aaron Blair (7 1/3 strong innings before tiring in the eighth in Game 1), Chris Ellis (6 no-hit hittings before being removed on a high pitch count in Game 2) and Rob Wooten (5 IP, 5 H, 2 ER, career-high 8 Ks in Game 4).

But it still couldn’t

PREP FOOTBALL ROUNDUP

No. 4 Norcross rolls to 4-0 after 35-16 win over Archer NORCROSS — With the exception of a few special teams miscues at the end of the first half, Norcross looked more than ready for region play to begin on Friday night in a 35-16 win over Archer in its home opener.

The No. 4 state-ranked Blue Devils (4-0) jumped out to a three-score lead before Archer took advantage of a turnover, a kickoff return for a score and an onside kick to get within striking distance at the half. In the second half, Norcross’ defense was in full control and the offense added one more touchdown for breathing room.

Norcross quarterback Baron Radcliff finished the game 21 of 34 for 331 yards, three touchdowns, two interceptions and also ran for a 1-yard touchdown.

Archer finished the game with just 172 yards of total offense.

Norcross scored on its first three possessions of the game to take a 21-0 lead. Radcliff completed a 19-yard touchdown pass to Robert Sims and scored on a 1-yard keeper. Clay Harris extended the lead on a 1-yard run of his own after an 18-yard grab by Sims.

Grayson 39, Deerfield Beach (Fla.) 14 LOGANVILLE — It was close early, but in the end, Grayson’s talent overpowered Deerfield Beach (Fla.), winning 39-14 Friday at Grayson Community Stadium.

The third-ranked Rams (2-1) got two touchdowns apiece from DeAngelo Gibbs and Kurt Taylor en route to the win.

Quarterback Chase Brice finished the game 9 of 13 for 148 yards and three touchdowns, while Gibbs had 77 yards on four receptions. Taylor finished with 73 yards on the ground and 42 yards receiving.

On defense, South Carolina commit Jamyest Williams was a ball hawk, picking off a pass from Holm and returning it 29 yard for the score, making the score 32-7 with 2:24 to go in the third quarter.

Buford 38, Jeff Davis (Ala.) 30 BUFORD — Yogi Berra once famously uttered “it ain’t over ’til it’s over,” and until Buford’s T.D. Roof cradled a Jeff Davis (Ala.) onside kick with 27 seconds left in the game, that adage once again proved true Friday night.

After opening a seemingly insurmountable 24-point lead early in the fourth quarter, the Class AAAAA No. 2 Wolves withstood a furious rally by the Volunteers before finally sealing a 38-30 win at Tom Riden Stadium.

Buford (2-1) built a 21-0 halftime lead behind Roof, who ran for the first of his two touchdowns as a running back, and his twin brother Mic, an East Carolina-committed quarterback who completed 8 of 11 passes for 158 yards in 2 TDs in the opening 24 minutes.

But it wasn’t until T.D. Roof, the Georgia Techcommitted linebacker, made his special teams play late in the game that they were able to fully secure the win.

Mic Roof finished the night 9-of-16 passing for 172 yards with two TDs and an interception, while Anthony Grant scored twice, once on the ground and once on the receiving end of a Mic Roof pass.

“Our coach told all of us to go out and run smart for the first two miles,” he said.

“After the second mile, if we felt good, then just go.”

Having finished seventh at last year’s meet, Manzoor knew the importance of having his teammates around him at the front of the pack.

“Having Jordan (Bullock) next to me really helped me,” he said. “We

“I have his hockey number, No. 30, written on my body to remind me why I am here and who I am swimming for,” she said. “This is a great way to help.”

As the participants and their families visited the vendor and food booths, music rang out over the speakers while the swimmers prepared to help those in need. For Jenna Taylor, even before she had put her toe in the water, her day was made.

“Meeting Missy Franklin, I mean, having her sign an autograph and taking a picture with my idol, it was..” Jenna said, searching for the right words.

“When I met her, I exploded to the moon and back.”

gious Arizona Fall League, which gets underway in a matter of weeks.

For others, and especially Moses, he can look back on what was an unusual season that saw him take over as G-Braves manager on two different occasions following the promotion of Brian Snitker to the same post in Atlanta, and then have to put together line-ups through 274 roster moves involving 77 different players, both club records.

And while there are plenty of positives for him to remember, including a strong stretch drive that helped the G-Braves take the IL’s South Division title despite finishing 13 games under .500, he said the effort his players gave will be among the things he remembers most fondly about this season moving forward.

“We had our backs up against the wall the whole year, and the guys battled,” Moses said. “We were fortunate to probably get into the playoffs. But in the last month, we really battled.

“I think the leadership with the veteran guys (is what stands out most). We had a lot of turnover with (former pitching coach) Marty (Reed) and Snit (Snitker) going up, then Rick Albert coming in and Mike Alvarez. We had to battle through. We had to put together some pitching and try to mix and match on the offensive end. I just remember telling those guys (Friday) night that they busted their butts all year. The leadership guys like (Sean Kazmar Jr.) and (Kanekoa Texeira) and (Matt Tuiasosopo) and some of the other guys in there did, they just kept that clubhouse together.”

“Jenna was familiar with this because of Swim Atlanta,” Jeremy said.

“We talked about it with Jenna, about how it works, where the proceeds go and I just think it’s a wonderful event.”

Joel, who plays travel baseball didn’t mind getting up early on a Saturday morning to support his sister.

“I think what she is doing is great,” he said.

Jenna, for her part, was honoring a friend of hers at the event. Connor McMahon is 15 and at CHOA.

The championship junior varsity races were won by Providence Christian’s Jennifer Woollery (20:49.44) on the girls’ side, and Parkview’s Ben Gregg (18:03.29) on the boys’ side.

Wolves

from Mitchell before the Bulldogs knew what hit them.

Grace Rigsbee finally got North on the board with a kill off an assist from Alexa Fortin, but two kills from Shipes and another from Halston Hillier plus a hitting error led to four more points that pushed the Buford lead to 13-1, a hole that was just too big for the Bulldogs to climb out of.

“It’s tough (falling behind that much) against pretty much any team, much less Buford,” said North coach Vanessa Henry, whose team also defeated Wesleyan 2519, 25-17 in the quarterfinals. “Volleyball is such a momentum sport.

If you don’t catch it right away, sometimes it’s hard to get it back.”

North never pulled any closer than 11 points after the initial Buford run in what turned into a 25-8 first-set win for the Wolves, and then fell behind again in the second set when Shipes pounded down two kills and Mitchell added two taps over the net to lead an initial 8-1 Buford lead.

This time, however, the Bulldogs did manage to fight back, riding kills from Caitlin O’Farrell and Elizabeth Packer, plus a service ace from Kaitlyn Nugent to roll off a 6-2 spurt that pulled them as close as 10-7 following Packer’s kill of a nice cross-court set by Fortin.

Another Packer kill, plus strong net defense

by Fortin and Oghosa Ehigiator, keyed another North run that cut an eight-point deficit down

to 16-12.

But after a serve into the net gave Buford possession back, the Wolves responded with seven of the next eight points, paced by three more kills and a block

by Shipes, to build the lead back to 10 at 2313 before putting the match away with another Shipes kills six points later.

Shipes had six kills and four blocks for the match and finished the day with 25 kills, most of which was off assists from Mitchell, who was solid all day setting up hitters like Shipes, Cason and Hillier on her way to 70 assists, including 14 in the finals against North.

“Morgan Mitchell did a great job of spreading out our offense,” Daniels said. “She had our middles involved, our right sides, all of our hitters. I think our offense was really strong (Saturday).”

So was the defense, led by Curry, who finished with 36 digs on the day, including 10 in the title match, while also contributing nine kills in the quarterfinals win over Hebron.

The championship was also a milestone for Curry and Mitchell, who were freshman on the Buford team that beat North in the finals and started the Wolves current run of four straight titles.

Meanwhile, Packer finished the championship match with five kills to lead North, while the Bulldogs also got eight digs and an ace from Reagan Schneider and 15 assists from Fortin.

Thomas leads Tech to 38-7 rout

By Stan Awtrey Staff Correspondent

ATLANTA — When quarterback Justin Thomas was hanging out with his buddies on Friday night, he was semi-joking about his desire to get 100 yards rushing.

Thomas had been challenged during the week by coach Paul Johnson to produce more rushing yards and the senior wasn’t about to back down.

“I was talking to the guys last night,” Thomas said. “I need 100 (yards). I haven’t had 100 in like 14 games.”

He looked at the stat sheet and shook his head.

“I was seven yards short,” he said. “I’m still upset about that.”

Thomas was joking about the seven yards. But there was nothing funny about his performance. He didn’t get his 100 yards — which he last accomplished in the 2014 Orange Bowl — but he looked more like the 2014 version of Thomas than fans have seen in a while in Georgia Tech’s 38-7 win over Vanderbilt on Saturday at Bobby Dodd Stadium.

Thomas rushed 11 times for 84 yards and completed 6 of 13 passes for 136

yards and one TD. Thomas connected with B-back Marcus Marshall for an 81-yard score on the first play of the game, He did an excellent job running the offense, often pulling the ball out of the B-back’s hands at the last second to find the open pitch man for a big run.

“I challenged him a little earlier,” Johnson said.

“I told him we needed some more out of him rushing and he a couple of nice runs. I think he would have had a couple others if he had stayed outside he could have really (broken).

When he sees the film he’s going to be disappointed.”

There wasn’t much to

disappoint B-back Dedrick Mills. The freshman returned from his onegame suspension with a vengeance. He carried 14 times for 58 yards and scored three touchdowns.

The turning point of the game came early in the third quarter. Vanderbilt trailed 17-7 at the half, but took the second-half kickoff and drove to the Georgia Tech 28. The Commodores went for it on fourth-and-1 and failed when Brandon Adams anchored a surge that limited Khari Blasingame to no gain.

Georgia Tech then drove 72 yards in 10 plays and scored on a 4-yard run

by Dedrick Mills. The touchdown gave the Yellow Jackets a 17-7 lead with 6:02 left in the third quarter.

“We wanted to score and needed to score coming out of the half,” Vanderbilt coach Derek Mason said “We went for it on fourth down and didn’t get it.

From a momentum standpoint there was still a lot of time left in the game, but that was a shift in momentum in this ballgame.

We couldn’t get them off the field and they go down and score.”

The Georgia Tech defense wanted to limit the Vanderbilt running game.

That was accomplished, as the Yellow Jackets held the Commodores to 97 yards rushing. But the time of possession was almost dead even, meaning the Yellow Jackets couldn’t get them off the field fast enough.

“We were pretty efficient offensively, and we wanted to gear up to stop the run and we held them under 100 yards, so that’s pretty good,” Johnson said. “Happy with the win, now we’ve got a quick turnaround, get ready for a really talented (Clemson) team coming in here on Thursday.”

No. 9 Wisconsin escapes Georgia St.

By Tamira Madsen The Sports Xchange

MADISON, Wis. — Wisconsin coach Paul Chryst said the No. 9 Badgers will not get style awards for edging Georgia State, but he is happy they have won three straight games.

Second-string quarterback Alex Hornibrook orchestrated a late-game surge to invigorate a listless offense as the Badgers rallied for a 23-17 win against Georgia State on Saturday.

“It was good to find a way to win and it’s hard to win, and (we) appreciate that,” said Chryst, whose team begins a two-game road stretch next week at No. 12 Michigan State.

“We knew this was a good team and we had to find a way to win. Guys stepped in and made significant plays.

We’re 3-0 going into Big Ten play, and that part’s good.”

Junior kicker Rafael Gaglianone kicked three field goals as Wisconsin scored the final 10 points at Camp Randall Stadium.

Hornibrook completed 8 of 12 passes for 122 yards and had one interception.

He came in with 6:00 left in the third quarter to replace

freshman tight end Kyle Penniston for a pair of key completions on Wisconsin’s next series. Penniston caught a short pass for a 1-yard touchdown as Wisconsin regained the lead 20-17 with 7:25 to go.

After Gaglianone’s 41-yard FG increased the Badgers’ lead to 23-17 with 3:36 left, Wisconsin ramped up pressure on Georgia State QB Conner Manning, who threw three incomplete passes in the final series.

Inciarte helps Braves overtake Nats Johnson not happy

By Guy Curtright The Sports Xchange

ATLANTA — Trea Turner hit two home runs for the Washington Nationals, but the Atlanta Braves’ leadoff hitter had a highly productive day as well.

Ender Inciarte was 3-for-4 with a double and a walk, scoring three times, as the Braves got to Nationals starter Gio Gonzalez for a 7-3 victory on Saturday.

“I’m coming to expect it, quite honestly,” Braves interim manager Brian Snitker said of Inciarte, who leads the majors with 87 hits since the All-Star break to raise his average to .293. “Every time he comes up, you expect him to get a hit and he’s doing something good on the bases. Prototypical leadoff guy, he’s on base all the time.”

It was just the third win of the season for the Braves over the National League East-leading Nationals in 18 games.

“Maybe the law of averages was on their side to win one today,” Nationals manager Dusty Baker said.

Josh Collmenter, picked up from the Chicago Cubs organization after he was released by Arizona earlier in the season, went five innings to get a win in his Atlanta debut.

“It was great,” Collmenter

said. “The guys hit today, so any time you get a lead you want to protect that. Aside from the two balls that left the yard, I feel good about most of my stuff.”

The homers by Turner were the fifth and sixth of the season against the Braves in 12 games. The rookie, who also had a single, walk and stolen base, is batting .482 (27-for-56) with 16 RBIs and 19 runs against Atlanta.

“I don’t know if I’ve ever done this in my entire life with this much power in such a short time,” said Turner, who is hitting .356 with 11 homers and 27 stolen bases in 59 games. “It’s been fun having a few of them go over the fence.”

Turner hit the third pitch from Collmenter (2-0) for a

homer and connected again leading off the fifth, but that was the only damage against the veteran righthander who was Arizona’s Opening Day starter in 2015.

Collmenter, the 16th pitcher given a start by the Braves this season, struck out eight while allowing four hits over five innings.

All three of his walks came in the second inning.

“He worked his butt off when he got in trouble,” Snitker said. “He never gave in, he just kept pitching. We needed someone to come in and stretch a game as far as they could. Five innings, we’ll take it.”

Gonzalez (11-10) lasted only 4 1/3 innings and was charged with six runs on nine hits. The veteran

left-hander, who has a 7.11 ERA in four starts against the Braves this year, struck out seven, walked none and hit two batters.

“He made some good pitches. Those balls were just blooping in,” Baker said. “Heck, they hit just one ball hard.”

The Braves scored a run in the bottom of the first, two more in the third when they had four straight hits and three times in the fifth while chasing Gonzalez, who fell to 4-9 for his career against the Braves.

“I got beat by a lot of singles. Some were by just inches,” Gonzalez said. “It was one of those unfortunate things. You want to show you can pitch in this rotation and it was crappy the way today’s game went.”

Nick Markakis and Anthony Recker each had two hits and two RBIs for the Braves. Matt Kemp and Adonis Garcia also had two hits, and Freddie Freeman extended his career-best hitting streak to 21 games with an RBI single.

Washington’s Daniel Murphy extended in his hitting streak to 14 games with his league-leading 47th double, which tied the Nationals season record.

Murphy, who has a .348 average, has also tied the team record with 184 hits.

Jones prevails for fourth Xfinity win

By Reid Spencer The Sports Xchange

JOLIET, Ill. — Kyle Busch opened the door, and that was all the invitation Erik Jones needed.

When Busch, the polesitter for Saturday’s The Drive for Safety 300 at Chicagoland Speedway, spun with a tire down while leading on Lap 182 of 200, Jones took full advantage of his Joe Gibbs Racing teammate’s misfortune.

The driver of the No. 20 JGR Toyota restarted sixth on Lap 187 after Busch brought out the eighth caution of the afternoon and quickly closed the gap on Elliott Sadler, who restarted second and grabbed the lead from JR Motorsports teammate Clint Bowyer, who had stayed out on old tires.

Jones caught and passed Sadler on Lap 192. Race runner-up Kyle Larson

followed four laps later but couldn’t catch Jones before the finish. In the final four laps, Jones moved up the track to take Larson’s preferred racing line and crossed the finish line .392 seconds ahead of Larson, who brushed the outside wall on the final lap while trying to close in on the race winner.

“It was tough,” said Jones, who won for the second time at the 1.5-mile track and the fourth time in his rookie year. “I knew we were in a good spot on tires, but we pretty far back — think we restarted sixth there.

“I didn’t know if my Hisense Camry was going to have enough time to get back up to the front, but we had a really good restart and got clear to third and then just had to go chase Elliott down. It was a matter of time before we got around him.

What an awesome day!”

With four victories this season, Jones enters the inaugural NASCAR Xfinity Series Chase as the No. 1 seed heading to the opener next Saturday at Kentucky Speedway.

“It’s a lot of momentum,” Jones said. “I wish this was our first round right here.

We’ll go into Kentucky definitely with a full head of steam and are due for another win there. Our mileand-a-half program is great — it’s been great all year.

“To finally get a first mile-and-a-half win of the year — just looking forward to getting to Kentucky next weekend and try to chase down another one.”

Saturday’s event finalized the 12-driver Chase field, as Blake Koch and Ryan Sieg clinched the final two spots with finishes of 15th and 12th, respectively.

The full Chase field, in order of seeding, consists of

Erik Jones, Sadler, Daniel Suarez, Ty Dillon, Justin Allgaier, Darrell Wallace Jr., Brendan Gaughan, Brennan Poole, Sieg, Ryan Reed, Brandon Jones and Koch.

Sadler finished third on Saturday, followed by Suarez and Allgaier.

Larson recovered from a pit road speeding penalty to record his eighth top-five finish in 12 starts this year.

“I knew I could get the top (lane) going, but I knew when I got the top going, Erik would move up just when I got to him,” Larson said. “He did, and I tried to carry a lot of throttle off of (Turn) 2 and maybe get a run on him, but I got into the wall.”

Busch led 154 laps and recovered from his spin to finish 13th. All told, 11 different drivers led at least one lap, including the top eight drivers in the finishing order.

with underdog role

By Reid Spencer The Sports Xchange

JOLIET, Ill. — If you’re looking for a driver with a strong head of steam entering the Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup, you’re probably not thinking of Jimmie Johnson.

The only driver to have qualified for every Chase since the inception of NASCAR’s playoff format in 2004, Johnson is seeking his seventh Sprint Cup title this year, but no one, it seems, is talking about the prospect of a recordtying championship.

That’s because, statistically speaking, the driver of the No. 48 Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet is suffering through his least productive season at NASCAR’s highest levelever.

Consider the following numbers. With 10 top-10 finishes through 26 races, Johnson will have to finish in the top 10 in each of the Chase races just to match his lowest career total of 20 in a season (2003 and 2014). With 266 laps led so far this year (and only 51 since the ninth race of the season at Richmond), Johnson is on pace for a career low in that category; in 2005 he led 547 laps.

Johnson has two victories this season, none since the fifth event of the year, at Fontana, Calif. Only once before, in 2011, has Johnson won as few as two races in a season. His average finish of 15.3 is tied for a career worst established in 2014.

So why was Johnson smiling when he fielded questions from reporters during Thursday’s Ready.Set.Chase Launch Event in Chicago?

Perhaps because the Chase is about to start.

Perhaps because the 10 Chase tracks fall right into the No. 48 team’s wheelhouse. And perhaps because Johnson has won six of the last 10 high-speed playoffs in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series.

Nevertheless, Johnson

NASCAR What: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 400 Sprint Cup race When: Today, 2:30 p.m.

TV: NBC Sports Network

doesn’t enjoy his position as a handicapper’s also-ran.

“No,” he said emphatically. “Hell, I’d rather be dominating and be on top and be the top pick.

I don’t like where we’re at. We’re working hard.

There’s a lot of optimism and a lot of great things happening. We just need to deliver consistently and execute at the track.

“The way that the Chase works, if we can run in the top five and stay alive and make it to Homestead, you know, we do have some time to sort things out and get back to where we need to be.”

Staying alive until Homestead has been a problem for the 48 team in the first two years of the Chase’s elimination format. Johnson made it to the second round in 2014 before exiting after Talladega. Last year, a mechanical failure knocked him out in the first round at Dover-one of his best two tracks.

Though listeners to the team radio have often noted a palpable tension between the driver and crew chief Chad Knaus, Johnson says his relationship with Knaus isn’t the problem in and of itself.

“It’s a frustrating journey when you’re off,” Johnson said. “When you’re on, it’s easy, practically. If we were being outrun by our teammates week in and week out, we weren’t the lead car at Hendrick, we’d probably have to look real hard at the relationship between me and Chad.

“But with that not being the case, we’re just frustrated. The things that are seen and heard, the unhappiness is due to the competitive spirit in both of us. We don’t want to roll over. We don’t want to be in the position we’re in. I guess that’s where that frustration comes from.”

GGC men’s soccer loses third straight Mill Creek softball wins a pair of games From Staff Reports LAWRENCEVILLE — The Georgia Gwinnett men’s soccer team was edged by West Virginia Institute of Technology on Saturday as the Grizzlies fell 4-3 to the Golden Bears, dropping their third straight contest.

The Grizzlies (3-3-1) managed three goals in the contest, but WVU Tech’s Ignacio Tellechea stole the show, recording a hat trick in the match to lead the Golden Bears to the win.

Tellechea scored the first goal of the match just 80 seconds into the contest. Just 60 seconds later, the Grizzlies would tie the match at 1-1 when sophomore center back Andrew White converted a penalty kick. The penalty kick attempt was set up by a WVU Tech handball inside the 18yard box.

The Golden Bears (5-1-1) regained a slight advantage in the 26th minute when Eduardo Gutierrez received a cross from Matias Pazos and flipped a chip shot past GGC keeper Lewis Sharpe. Four minutes later, Tellechea struck

again to give WVU Tech the 3-1 lead heading into the intermission.

A regrouped Grizzly squad struck back just 49 seconds into the second half, bringing GGC within one, 3-2, of WVU Tech. Center back Ellis Husband lifted a long ball to Callum Lees, who handled the touch, split two WVU Tech defenders, and placed the ball into the back right corner of the net.

WVU Tech responded with a counter-punch in the 54th minute when Tellechea completed the hat-trick with his third goal of the match, putting the Golden Bears ahead 4-2.

While the Grizzlies brought the match within one goal in the 58th minute on a header

by Samuel Sampaio Gomes, the early WVU Tech lead was too much to overcome as GGC fell 4-3.

Saturday’s loss is the first defeat for the Grizzlies in 2016 at the Grizzly Soccer Complex. The Grizzlies still hold a narrow advantage over opponents at home as GGC has outscored its competition 11-5 in Lawrenceville.

Baltimore assistant Clarence Brooks dies The Sports Xchange Baltimore Ravens assistant coach Clarence Brooks died Saturday morning after a battle with esophageal and stomach cancer. He was 65.

Brooks, the Ravens’ longest-tenured assistant coach, passed away at a hospital in Weston, Fla., the team announced.

Brooks — referred to by most as “C.B.” — originally joined the organization in 2005 and served 11 seasons as defensive line

coach. This past spring while undergoing treatment for his illness, he transitioned into a senior defensive assistant role but still spent time working with players and coaches, including during the Ravens’ recent training camp.

“We knew he loved his players,” his wife Justa said Saturday morning.

“Through all of this, we’ve found out how much his players loved him. We thank everyone for the loving support.”

Brooks was a 24-year

NFL coaching veteran and one of six assistant coaches retained by head coach John Harbaugh upon his 2008 arrival in Baltimore.

During Brooks’ Baltimore tenure as defensive line coach (2005-15), the Ravens allowed the NFL’s fewest rushing touchdowns (89), second-fewest points per game (18.9) and the league’s second-fewest rushing yards per game (94.2).

Brooks also coached for the Miami Dolphins (200004), Cleveland Browns

(1999) and Chicago Bears (1993-98). He spent 17 years in the collegiate ranks, holding coaching positions at Arizona (199092), Syracuse (1981-89) and Massachusetts (197680).

Brooks is survived by wife Justa, son Jason — who is the tight ends coach at Florida International and was an assistant on the Ravens’ coaching staff for four seasons (200912) — daughter Adrienne, granddaughter Aviana and grandson Avery.

North’s James stepping into leadership role for Miami

By Andy Kent

Staff Correspondent

DAVIE, Fla. — North Gwinnett grad Ja’Wuan James returns to the site of his 2015 season-altering toe injury today when his Miami Dolphins take on the New England Patriots at Gillette Stadium in an early divisional matchup inside the AFC East.

James, the 6-foot-6, 307-pound starting right tackle for Miami, was carted off the field of the nationally televised Thursday night game between Miami and New England last Oct. 29, and has been thinking about this year’s rematch ever since.

That also happened to be the same game where Pro Bowl defensive end Cameron Wake was lost for the season to a torn Achilles’ tendon, so James intends on approaching the showdown with the same motivation as Wake.

“I’m looking forward to it,” James said. “That was my last game (of the 2015 season) on a Thursday night after three plays. So I’m looking forward to going up there and banging

Miami tackle Ja’Wuan James (70), a North Gwinnett grad, smiles during the second half of the Dolphins preseason game against the New York Giants in East Rutherford, N.J. (Photo: Vincent Carchietta-USA Today Sports)

with those guys.”

With so much attention during voluntary minicamps, OTAs and training camp being paid to rookie first-round draft pick Laremy Tunsil and his move from left tackle to left guard, James quietly went about his work and willingly took on a leadership role for a young offensive line. First-year head coach Adam Gase is James’ third different head coach in as many seasons, as he played his rookie season in 2014 under Joe Philbin. After

Philbin was fired four weeks into last season, he took commands from interim head coach Dan Campbell.

Last week, in the Dolphins’ heartbreaking 12-10 loss to the Seattle Seahawks on the road in front of the league’s loudest crowd at CenturyLink Field, James and Pro Bowl left tackle Branden Albert led by example for Tunsil, undrafted center Anthony Steen and veteran right guard Jermon Bushrod.

As a group, the front five

did a solid job of protecting quarterback Ryan Tannehill against arguably one of the top defensive lines in the league. They paved the way for Miami’s sevenplay, 86-yard touchdown drive late in the game that put the Dolphins ahead 10-6 with barely over a minute left to play.

“For those guys to keep plugging away at that thing, you saw the excitement when we did get a chance, when we did go ahead late in the game,” said Gase of the added responsibility James and Albert have taken on in the absence of center Mike Pouncey (hip injury).

“Those guys were fired up, because they knew they were a part of that. They helped change the momentum of the game by putting a drive together there.

Those guys — especially those two guys at tackle — they’ve been around here for a little bit and they’re trying to make those (other) guys (Bushrod and Tunsil) feel at home, because they’re playing new positions — right guard and left guard.”

There is something sur-

real for James to hear himself being described as one of the “older guys” on the offensive line, considering he just turned 24 in June.

He has fresh memories of his draft experience, being as it was a little more than two years ago when he heard his name called with the 19th overall pick in the first round.

So to be labeled a veteran leader this early brings an intriguing smile to James’ face and he enjoys being able to help Tunsil adjust both to his new position and to life in the NFL. Watching Tunsil work in practice and in the classroom reminds him of what he went through as a rookie.

“It’s working good. He’s responding to everybody, he wants to learn and he’s been doing a great job,” said James, who has started all 24 games he has been active for in his career. “That’s just the role we’re in now and it’s crazy to think I’m an older guy now. It just shows you how fast this game is and you have to really take advantage of it while you have it.”

James has found himself looking back at film of his rookie season to see how much he has grown and he considers himself to still be a work in progress. He’s learning a new offense again but blocking for the same athletic quarterback in Tannehill and an accomplished veteran in running back Arian Foster.

With the support of his family and friends from back home in Georgia, James is counting on his experience and the viable energy of Gase and his coaching staff to help bring about a successful season for him and for the Miami Dolphins.

“He’s young and he’s brought a good energy here with a good vibe,” James said of Gase. “I like how invested he is in the offense because he runs the offense and he knows it in and out. So when your head coach is like that and he’s an offensive guy the offensive linemen like that.”

Playing without any pain and at 100 percent health is something James also likes and he’ll be able to do just that come this afternoon.

Atlanta travels to Rams look to bounce back in L.A. debut surging Oakland

By Mike Sullivan The Sports Xchange

The expectation is that Oakland Raiders quarterback Derek Carr is going to take a big step forward this season.

His beleaguered franchise just might be ready to do the same.

The Raiders haven’t started 2-0 since 2002 but have the opportunity to open with back-to-back victories this season when they host the Atlanta Falcons today Oakland rallied for a 3534 road win over the New Orleans Saints in its opener.

Coach Jack Del Rio seized the chance to obtain a victory with a gutsy two-point conversion call and Carr delivered with the winning throw to receiver Michael Crabtree with 47 seconds remaining.

It was the type of dramatic victory that can set the tone for future success.

And Carr says he can see the belief blooming as the Raiders take aim at reaching the playoff for the first time since that 2002 squad advanced to the Super Bowl before losing to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

“Everyone on this team is so confident in what we can do,” Carr said on Wednesday. “It’s not arrogant, it’s not that we think we’re better than anybody. We respect every team that we play. At the same time, we know the work we’ve put in. We know how to compete.

“Like Coach (Del Rio) said, we’re learning how to win. We love what we’ve done, but I think it’s just the confidence level that everybody has.”

Carr passed for 319 yards in the victory that saw the Raiders score 22 fourthquarter points. The thirdyear pro passed for 3,987 yards and 32 touchdowns last season and another big season could move him

up after a win over Atlanta and a dynamic performance from second-year quarterback Jameis Winston in Week 1.

into the upper tier of NFL quarterbacks.

Carr hears the chatter about his growth and said it all comes down to believing in the process.

“I trusted from the beginning,” Carr said. “I remember I told you all, we were 0-10, I still thought we could go play in the Super Bowl.

That’s always been my mindset. I’ve always worked toward that and I still will work towards that. So whether we’re 1-0 or 0-10, my mindset’s always going to be the same.”

Atlanta is aiming to rebound from a 31-24 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, a contest in which it didn’t record a sack while Tampa Bay’s Jameis Winston threw four touchdown passes.

The Falcons would like to avoid a 0-2 hole but even last season’s fast 6-1 start didn’t get them into the playoffs.

Atlanta finished 8-8 and missed the postseason for the third straight season.

Quarterback Matt Ryan passed for 334 yards and two touchdowns in the loss to Tampa Bay. Ryan played his best football in the contest after Atlanta sped up the offense to try to recover from an 18-point deficit but coach Dan Quinn doesn’t believe a no-huddle attack fits his squad.

“We don’t see it as a featured way where, every play, we are no huddle,” Quinn said Wednesday. “We wouldn’t be able to play in a style that would best suit our guys. That said, we do like going in and out of that speed. That stresses the defense a lot.”

Returning to the city where splashy Hollywood premieres are a staple, the Los Angeles Rams have a tall task in front of them following a spectacular flop in their season debut.

The Rams, who relocated from St. Louis in the offseason, will play their first home game in Los Angeles since 1994 when they host the NFC West rival Seattle Seahawks today at 4:05 p.m.

Los Angeles turned in an embarrassing offensive performance on Monday Night Football, managing 185 yards of total offense while getting blanked by the San Francisco 49ers 28-0.

“That wasn’t what we expected, certainly not what I expected for the first game back in L.A.,” said Rams coach Jeff Fisher, who received a threeyear contract extension on Thursday. “We have some work to do obviously.”

Ravens at Browns Today, 1 p.m.

Just a week into the season and the Cleveland Browns’ best-laid plans have gone awry after losing quarterback Robert Griffin III to a broken bone in his throwing shoulder. The Browns will go back to Josh McCown under center for today’s home opener when they host the Baltimore Ravens and their stingy defense which allowed just seven points in its season-opening win over Buffalo.

49ers at Panthers Today, 1 p.m.

The Carolina Panthers didn’t lose a game until Week 16 last season, but they’re already in the unfamiliar position of trying to bounce back from a defeat.

The Panthers hope to shake off their season-opening loss at Denver when they host the San Francisco 49ers.

The 49ers turned in a dominant performance on Monday night, blanking Los

Los Angeles Rams running back Todd Gurley (30) rushes against the San Francisco 49ers during the first half last week at Levi’s Stadium. (Photo: Kirby Lee-USA Today Sports) Angeles 28-0, and are trying to start 2-0 for the first time since 2012.

1 last year and ended their season with a 30-0 drubbing in the wild-card round.

Bengals at Steelers Today, 1 p.m.

A disastrous defeat at the hands of the Pittsburgh Steelers in January was the latest chapter in the Cincinnati Bengals’ evergrowing book of postseason shortcomings. Eight months removed from their fourthquarter meltdown, the Bengals have a chance to exact a measure of revenge this afternoon when they invade Heinz Field to visit their bitter AFC North rivals.

Saints at Giants Today, 1 p.m.

The New Orleans Saints and New York Giants gave the scoreboard operator a workout and fantasy football owners a thrill with high-octane offense in their explosive matchup last season. Drew Brees threw for 505 yards and seven touchdowns in a 52-49 track meet-style victory over the Giants on Nov. 1 and followed in those footsteps with 423 yards passing and four scores in a 35-34 setback to Oakland last Sunday.

Titans at Lions Today, 1 p.m.

Life after Calvin Johnson began well for the Detroit Lions, who look to build off a wild victory over Indianapolis when they face the Tennessee Titans in their home opener on today. With Johnson enjoying his recent retirement by participating on ABC’s “Dancing With The Stars”, Detroit quarterback Matthew Stafford utilized eight different receivers while going 31-of-39 for 340 yards and three touchdowns in a season-opening 39-35 road triumph over the Colts.

Chiefs at Texans Today, 1 p.m.

The Kansas City Chiefs placed disappointing bookends on the Houston Texans’ season a year ago, and they hope to dish out another round when they travel to Houston today. The Chiefs handed the Texans a 27-20 home loss in Week

Cowboys at Redskins Today, 1 p.m.

The Dallas Cowboys will be banking on their ground game making the difference when they go on the road to face the Washington Redskins in a battle of 0-1 teams.

Last week Washington allowed 147 yards on the ground in a 38-16 loss to Pittsburgh.

Buccaneers at Cardinals Today, 4:05 p.m.

Arizona coach Bruce Arians was critical of several members of his team and specific units after a 23-21 loss to a depleted New England squad that was missing Tom Brady and Rob Gronkowski.

The Buccaneers had lower preseason expectations than the Cardinals but are adjusting the outlook

Colts at Broncos Today, 4:25 p.m.

In the battle of Peyton Manning’s former teams the defending Super Bowl champion Denver Broncos host the Indianapolis Colts. Both teams feature quarterbacks that replaced Manning, though the Colts’ Andrew Luck has had a little more time to escape the long shadow of the future Hall-of-Famer.

Jaguars at Chargers Today, 4:25 p.m.

The San Diego Chargers’ opening-day fate and perhaps that of their season changed on one play when star receiver Keenan Allen suffered a torn ACL midway through the second quarter in last week’s devastating loss at Kansas City. Sans their top wideout, the Chargers will look to rebound when they entertain the upstart Jacksonville Jaguars today.

Packers at Vikings Today, 8:30 p.m.

In any other year, opening a brand-new stadium against a bitter rival would easily be the overriding storyline for the Minnesota Vikings. However, the first game at the state-of-the-art facility known as U.S. Bank Stadium is being overshadowed by the question of whether recently acquired Sam Bradford or Shaun Hill will start at quarterback against the visiting Green Bay Packers.

Eagles at Bears Monday, 8:30 p.m.

Carson Wentz showed he could handle the big stage in his much-ballyhooed NFL debut, but the lights will be even brighter when he leads the Philadelphia Eagles on the road to face the Chicago Bears on Monday Night Football. Wentz, the No. 2 overall pick overall pick out of North Dakota State, earned raved reviews nationally after guiding Philadelphia to a 29-10 win over Cleveland in its season opener.

community In a lot of ways, the maze is a symbol of my life. I didn’t take the straight path, and I’ve had a lot of failures. But I never gave up chasing my dream.”

— Rodney Miller, president and CEO of Buford Corn Maze and co-host of “Small Town Big Deal”

BY JON GALLO

Staff Correspondent

Seemingly endless rows of corn stretch into the horizon, creating a complex maze filled with twists and turns amid Rodney Miller’s sprawling 32-acre farm off Bennett Road in Buford. It’s not easy to solve, as one wrong move can have you heading toward a dead end you didn’t even know existed.

But don’t give up; keep trying, keep navigating and surely you’ll find your way to success — even if it takes longer than envisioned.

“In a lot of ways, the maze is a symbol of my life,” Miller, the president and CEO of Buford Corn Maze, said. “I didn’t take the straight path, and I’ve had a lot of failures.

But I never gave up chasing my dream.”

It took decades, but he found it — on and off camera, where perhaps the county’s most famous farmer has sprouted into perhaps TV’s most unlikely star as the cohost of MORE ONLINE “Small Town Visit gwinnettdailypost. com for a photo gallery. Big Deal.”

On the show, he and former Entertainment Tonight correspondent Jann Carl travel coast-to-coast reporting on stories, especially ones in rural areas often overlooked by mainstream media.

“Small Town Big Deal” is broadcast in 39 states from Florida to Alaska and from Maine to California. It is watched by more than a halfmillion viewers weekly, is syndicated and could land a deal in which a major network would put it in prime time, positioning it to attract more viewers. Currently, a large percentage of channels airing “Small Town Big Deal” show it between midnight and 7:30 a.m. or have it competing against football games on weekends.

“Small Town Big Deal,” which has filmed episodes in 35 states, has traveled a long road to get where it is today, given that Miller shot the show’s pilot in 2010. But in 2012, the weekly half-hour show was picked up by cable channel RFD-TV (“Rural America’s Most Important Network”), the flagship network for Rural Media Group, which includes FamilyNet TV and is distributed to more than 100 million homes throughout the world.

“If I knew how hard it would be to get this far, I never would have tackled it,” Miller, 59, said. “But I look at where we are now as a show and it shows how far we’ve come. What happens next?

Who knows?”

But Miller and Carl know this: “Small Town Big Deal” has a growing audience that’s interested in stories about the world’s largest Christmas store in Michigan; a farm in See MILLER, Page 2C

In addition to hosting a TV show, Rodney Miller owns The Buford Corn Maze, below left. Above and below right, Jann Carl and Miller travel the country looking for stories for their show “Small Town Big Deal” — sometimes in far colder climates than Buford’s.

•From Page 1C Illinois where hundreds of the mentally challenged live, work and succeed; a Kentucky garage sale that stretches for 400 miles along U.S. Route 68; and of course, the greatest tug of war ever.

Ever hear of the Great River Tug? Watch Miller’s show. For a few hours every August, a stretch of the Mississippi River between Port Byron, Ill., and LeClaire, Iowa, is closed. Teams of men and women representing both cities grab opposite ends of a 2,700-foot, 680-pound rope that’s stretched across the river. For 11 three-minute contests, the two sides

Miller pull with all their might in front of a raucous crowd of more than 30,000, with judges determining the winner before anyone gets wet. Illinois went a perfect 11-0 a few weeks ago to retain the Alabaster Eagle, the 30-year-old competition’s traveling trophy.

“I’ve never seen anything like that,” said Miller, who has visited every state except Alaska.

“It was an amazing thing to see. You have two cities going at it for pride and to raise money for their fire departments. It’s these kinds of stories people really want to watch.”

The demographics of viewers for “Small Town

Big Deal” are as diverse as the stories it tells. Thirtythree percent of viewers are between the coveted 18-34 age group, while 58 percent is younger than 59, meaning the show has a strong, younger base that’s attractive to advertisers.

“Technology has done a lot to make it easier to communicate and for people to let one another know what’s going on in their lives. But at the same time, technology has made our lives much more complicated,” Carl, 55, said. “I think millennials want to live a simpler life and our show is, let’s just say, the opposite of ‘Keeping Up with the Kardashians.’”

Miller, who grew up on a corn and soybean farm in the small town of Benton, Illinois, said the show will never stray far from its rural roots, claiming even “big cities are made up of small neighborhoods.”

He arrived in Georgia in 2007 as the CEO of Duluth-based McCormick International, which manufactures tractors.

Soon after, he and his wife, Kendra, bought a 43acre corn farm in the south Georgia town of Ocilla, which he admits functions mainly as a place for him to ride his antique tractors.

But his love of TV, which first started while

he was shooting commercials as the CEO for another company that sells farming equipment, never went away.

“There’s so much violence on TV and I didn’t like how people in rural communities were being portrayed,” said Miller, who has also held administrative positions at the University of Georgia, including a stint as the director of the office of advancement and external affairs for the College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences. “I was raised on a farm and I’m still a farmer and will always be a farmer. I know the way these people

were being shown on TV was completely wrong.

I wanted to have a show that showed everyone what Americana really is.”

When Miller isn’t filming “Small Town Big Deal,” he spends much of his time at his corn maze, where families also brave a haunted forest, ride ponies, mingle with farm animals, take hayrides and jump in bouncy houses.

“I’ve always wanted a corn maze, so I did it — just like I wanted a TV show,” Miller said. “Both are fun and we’ve learned as we went and we have a way to go. But I hope I’m doing this for the rest of my life.”

Katie Torrez, a young volunteer who traveled with her family to Louisiana after they decided to forgo plans for Disney World, said in a statement reflecting on her service: “The most rewarding thing

I experienced was the reactions of the home owners when they saw their houses. They were so excited and grateful. It felt great to see how your work for a few hours could effect their lives that much.”

The entire volunteer group donated a total of 108,249 hours of community service to begin the renovations to the victims’ homes that were affected by the flooding.

“I am delighted to have been introduced to (Perryman) recently and to see some of her beautiful work,” Boyd said. “The painting I selected for my vignette, ‘Garden Gate,

Perryman is known as the longtime owner of the Vista Gallery in Decatur.

A few years ago, she sold

the gallery to focus on her landscape and still life oil paintings.

She teaches art and takes her adult students on painting trips to Europe.

Perryman is thrilled that Boyd is sharing her meaningful work.

“I love painting gates, doors, alleyways and paths,” Perryman said.

“These architectural and landscape elements always intrigue me, holding the promise of something unseen and wonderful.”

BRASELTON Wine Walks kick off Sept. 30 Braselton residents will get a chance to celebrate their city’s centennial while also getting to try new wines later this month.

The city’s Centennial Committee will kick off its Wine Walks season on Sept. 30 in Braselton’s downtown area.

Up to 200 participants will be allowed to visit up to 20 businesses throughout the downtown area and taste wines while also getting a chance to peruse the usual wares sold by those shops.

Young artists have their work displayed at Grayson library

By Todd Cline todd.cline@gwinnettdailypost.com

A group of young artists from the county is showing that students as young as 5 years old can draw and paint like the masters. And you can see it for yourself this month at the Grayson branch of the Gwinnett County Public Library.

The work being displayed is by students from Snellville’s Cobblestone Creek Studios Art Academy.

The academy includes children and adults alike who have spent much time — sometimes even months — working on art from various mediums — including graphite drawings, watercolors and oil paintings.

“They work so hard,” said Deborah Ankrom Kepes, a portrait artist who owns Cobble Creek Studios and runs the academy. “And they are so excited to share their artwork with the community. We want to thank Susan Kosenka at the library for inviting our students to show their work.”

According to Kepes, several of her students have turned their artistic skills into scholarships to prestigious schools such as The Grand Academy in New York, Bob Jones University, the University of Georgia and to the Savannah College of Art and Design.

“I’ve been amazed at how well the students have responded to learning the classical method of drawing and painting which is usually not taught before the age of 16,” Kepes said.

LOGANVILLE City encourages review of water use While there are no changes in restrictions to residents, the city of Loganville Public Utilities Department is encouraging residents to learn more about current restrictions.

Loganville is among the areas listed in this month’s Level 1 Drought Response in 53 counties — which includes both Walton and Gwinnett.

According to the federal government’s U.S. Drought Monitor, varying degrees of drought are impacting about two-thirds of the state. Nearly all of the counties affected by the Level 1 Drought Response declaration are experiencing severe and extreme drought conditions.

State law allows residents to water any day of the week, regardless of your address, but only between 4 p.m. and 10 a.m. For outdoor water use not related to landscape irrigation, you may use water any time of the day, any day of the week.

Netherworld has grown into one of metro Atlanta’s most popular, self-guided dark attractions. It is 40,000 square feet with 50-foot high ceilings and a walking path that’s 1,800 linear feet, equivalent to six football fields.

Netherworld is very similar to a Hollywood movie production utilizing a number of props, flashing lights, lasers, special effects, hanging textiles, animatronics, 125 actors and a variety of actorcontrolled puppets to create a more realistic scare.

A grand opening is set for Friday.

Although the event is free, residents are being asked to donate non-perishable food and personal hygiene items to the Norcross Co-op during the event.

SUWANEE City adds new wayfinding signage Residents and people moving through Suwanee will soon notice new wayfinding signage throughout the city to alert travelers to city and county parks, Suwanee’s historic downtown and other notable locations.

The new signs will serve to help visitors — as well as residents — find community and cultural destinations throughout the city. The wayfinding signage has been placed in 13 locations, and will not only provide directional information, but serve to highlight the city’s wide range of attractions.

“While the only real job of wayfinding signage is to tell people where they are, where their destination is, and how to connect those two points, it can do so much more,” Assistant City Manager Denise Brinson said. “In addition to basic navigation, our wayfinding signage introduces the ‘personality’ of Suwanee and connects to our brand and promote further points of interest that people may not have been aware of.”

open a new exhibition that explores the science of watersheds, aquatic animals and oceans. The exhibit is called “Ocean Bound!” and will run from Sept. 19 through Jan. 4 of 2017.

Jason West, program director for the Heritage Center, said the exhibit has plenty of meaning here in Gwinnett despite the county not being near the ocean.

Said West: “No matter where you live, everyone lives in a watershed. A watershed is an area of land that collects water and then drains or seeps into a marsh, stream, river or lake and ultimately makes its way to a larger body of water like an ocean. So since everyone lives in a watershed, everyone’s actions on land potentially affect our oceans.”

According to a release from the Heritage Center, Ocean Bound! presents four themed exhibit clus-

ters that highlight the science of watersheds, threats to watersheds, solutions to counter those threats and ways to implement change and protect watersheds.

The exhibit includes multiple hands-on stations that allow guests to interact with watersheds. Guests can make it rain in a 3-D watershed model as well as pilot a full-sized “submersible” from mountain stream all the way to the ocean, discovering eye-popping aquatic species and habitats along the way, according to the Heritage Center.

The exhibition was created by the Sciencecenter of Ithica, N.Y., with funding from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association. The exhibit is sponsored locally by the EHC Foundation. The exhibit is included in EHC admission.

8 p.m. on ABC 68th Primetime Emmy Awards Since it’s ABC’s turn in the rotation again to televise the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences’ yearly ceremony, it’s not a shock to find the network’s late-night star Jimmy Kimmel back as host at Los Angeles’ Microsoft Theater. Leading the nominees is “Game of Thrones” with 23 bids, followed closely by “The People v. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story” with 22, then “Fargo” with 18. Expect some

MONDAY 8 p.m. on FOX Gotham Jim Gordon (Ben McKenzie) charts a new course for himself as a bounty hunter — and there’s much to hunt, given the monsters overrunning the title city — as Season 3 begins with “Mad City: Better to Reign in Hell ... .” Baffling him here is why the Indian Hill fugitives’ powers seem to be backfiring on them. Barbara and Tabitha (Erin Richards, Jessica Lucas) go into business together.

Bruce (David Mazouz) worries about his mirror image being on the loose.

‘Dimestore’ a must read for children of Appalachia As best I can recall — and I’ve been thinking hard about this — I have only written one fan letter in my life.

It was two or three years ago and came after an afternoon of reading “Garden and Gun” magazine while waiting for my nails to dry. Rose, as she always does after she has finished polishing them in deep reddish pink, turned the pages for me, admonishing, “No, no. You no turn. I turn for you.”

A story, written by novelist Lee Smith about her hometown of Grundy, Va., captivated me. In the sweetest way that a wonderful story will linger in a fragrant mist after you’ve had the pleasure of reading it, her tale of an Appalachian

gushing and, no doubt, childlike in its admiration. Which may be the reason I never received a reply.

I waited. I believed. I hoped. Finally, I gave up.

Authors as talented as Lee Smith are told reguRonda larly how beautiful their Rich talent is and they are told in words more eloquent childhood settled over than any I could conjure me. In the old-timey up. church services of my In the last 20 years, childhood, people would I have read fewer than stand up to testify at 10 novels. Maybe six. revival meetings and Perhaps seven. I am a say, “I’m so glad I come lover of memoirs and tonight. My soul got fed.” biographies, of nonficSmith’s magazine tion stories from which story fed my soul. I came I can learn and perhaps home, found her website grow, so I rarely read and poured my admirafiction. One of that handtion into an unabashed ful of novels I read was fan letter. I would share one by Lee Smith called what I wrote if I could “The Last Girls.” I don’t remember it but it was recall how I came to have

it. Perhaps we shared a publisher who gave me a copy or, more than likely, I had been on book tour and was gifted a copy from a bookstore owner who enthusiastically recommended it. This I remember, though: I was on the American Queen steamboat as it pulled out of port in New Orleans.

As the calliope played and the boat edged toward its Mississippi River cruise, I settled down on my bed and plunged into the book.

For three days, I toted that book throughout the boat with me. I read in my stateroom, on the deck in a rocking chair, and curled up on a sofa in the Mark Twain room. So powerful was the story she told and the words she used that, today, eight

or nine years later, I remember much of the plot and the characters. When I think of peaceful days spent on a riverboat on my favorite river, I often think, too, of “The Last Girls.”

Lee Smith, noted novelist and professor, has finally written her memoir titled “Dimestore.” It is her story of growing up in the Appalachian South.

Now, her Appalachian life was more privileged and comfortable than my own. Her father owned the dime store (which is what we had until the cost of living turned them into dollar stores) in Grundy. Her grandfather was the county treasurer, her mother a beloved home economics teacher (which is what we had until it became politically

incorrect to teach young girls to be homemakers and stifle any seemingly larger ambitions), and her grandmother dressed to the nines each day to receive callers in a large brick home.

Of this privilege, I am not envious. I delight in seeing a town and its people of the 1950s told in such a splendid way. I love this book. It reminds me of times spent with Scout as she told the story of Maycomb and its people.

Even though she never answered my letter, I am still a huge fan.

Costs of quarterly capitalism apparent Here we go again.

Wells Fargo was recently fined $185 million because thousands of their employees set up millions of fake accounts customers didn’t ask for.

Here’s what happened: The employees were incented to open additional accounts for existing customers. The sales goals were aggressive. Employees were evaluated, ranked and paid based on the number of accounts.

Not surprisingly, what emerged was a culture where financial goals came first and customers came second. “Wells Fargo employees secretly opened unauthorized accounts to hit sales targets and receive bonuses,” Richard Cordray, director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, said in a statement.

Why do we continue to be surprised by these situations?

The Wells Fargo scandal is no different from Volkswagen faking emissions testing, or GM’s employees not reporting ignition switch safety issues. In each these situation, the employees took a management directive — make more money — and applied it to an extreme.

It’s been widely reported that Wells Fargo CEO John Stump often said, “The core of our vision and strategy is cross-selling.”

The problem is, cross selling is not a vision or a strategy; it’s a tactic to generate more fees. To be fair, in the Wells Fargo vision and values communication Mr. Stump also said, “Cross-selling is the result of serving our customers extraordinarily well, understanding their financial needs and goals over their lifetimes, and ensuring we innovate.”

I’m sure Mr. Stump meant those words. The challenge for Stump, and all leaders, is, you can say you want to add value for customers, but if all you measure and reward is internal profit, your people will respond accordingly.

When I first reported on the GM problem in August 2014, I wrote, “A culture focused entirely on quarterly earnings will never be anything other than an every man for himself rat race.”

This is not about a few (thousand) unethical employees. The root

Forget Perfect

Lisa McLeod problem is the banking industry, or the auto industry. The root cause is leaders who focus on short-term financial incentives instead of longterm customer impact.

Cross selling is not a vision to rally a team around customers. A true vision, or noble purpose as I refer to it, is clear description about the impact you want to have on your clients. As Peter Drucker said, “Profit is not the purpose of an organization, it is the test of its validity.”

Was there a moment when Wells Fargo senior leadership said, set up phony accounts and create a widespread scheme to defraud our customers?

I doubt it.

But I feel confident the 5,3000 employees who were fired as the result of the scandal remember plenty of moments where their bosses pushed them to hit financial targets, and didn’t ask a single question about what was good for customers.

People often create a false dichotomy between purpose and profit. In reality, the data tells us that organizations whose purpose is to improve customers’ lives outperform the market by over 350 percent.

You can’t just talk about adding value for customers at the annual meeting. You have to talk about it every day. You can’t merely write it into your values, you have to write it into performance reviews.

The internal conversation becomes the external conversation. If the internal conversation is only about targets and quotas, your people will regard customers as nothing more than objects to help them reach their financial goals.

Wells Fargo told their people what mattered.

They acted accordingly.

Don’t just blame the DOT for all the bad traffic In last week’s column, I laid the responsibility for much of metro Atlanta’s perpetual traffic nightmare directly at the feet of the Georgia DOT, for what I labeled their “ubiquitous and interminable” road projects.

But the blame is not theirs alone. Many traffic jams, including most of the unexpected ones, are caused by bad drivers, of which there are three types: the distracted, the narcissistic and the clinically insane.

Distracted drivers are a growing problem. We used to think talking on the phone while driving was

as if it were a normal part of driving, like (not) checking their speedometer.

You can see them blithely cruising down Interstate 85, doing 70 mph while looking down at their phones.

I try to steer clear of such people, speeding up to Rob get around them whenever Jenkins I can. But that’s hard to do when the next driver is bad. Now we long for the looking down at his phone, days when people merely too. And the next. And the chattered into their devices, next. Given the fact that because you don’t have to (most) cars can’t drive take your eyes off the road themselves, it’s inevitable: for that. a chronically distracted Not so with texting. Or driver WILL cause an acciposting on Facebook. Or dent. All you can do is pray surfing the Web. All of they don’t take you out, or which people do these days someone you love, in the

process.

Narcissistic drivers take two forms: the actively rude and the merely oblivious. What they share is a belief that their time is far more important than yours — or anyone else’s.

The rude ones will cut you off at a traffic light just to gain an extra 0.4 seconds. They’ll edge into the intersection as the light changes, blocking it for cars on the cross street. (I believe this is known colloquially as “boxing out.”)

They’ll refuse to let you merge, even when sitting still themselves.

Oblivious drivers are, if anything, worse. They’re

GaDOE honors Norcross parent A Norcross parent was recently honored by the Georgia Department of Education for contributions to public schools.

Philemon Maliro was among six Parent Leadership Award members announced last week, and will serve as an honorary, one-year member on the Parent Advisory Council.

State School Superintendent Richard Woods appointed 16 new parents to serve on his 2016-17 Superintendent’s Parent Advisory Council.

New members are selected each year by representatives of the GaDOE based on the applicants’ responses to questions on engaging parents to ensure their children’s success at school. Once selected, members serve a two-year term on the council.

“Feedback received through the Parent Advisory Council is an essential part of our decisionmaking process here at the GaDOE,” Woods said in a

Good News from Schools

Keith Farner press release. “Parents are their children’s first teachers, and we must partner with them to ensure we’re providing the best possible education for every child.”

As members of the council, parents will meet two times during the school year with Woods to give input on the development of Georgia’s state plan in implementing the new federal law, the Every Student Succeeds Act. Wesleyan’s community basketball league returns The annual league is a chance for kindergarten through fourth grade boys and girls to learn the

fundamentals of basketball. Each year hundreds of students, both who attend Wesleyan and other schools, join the league that includes students from Peachtree Corners, Dunwoody, Brookhaven, Norcross, Johns Creek, Roswell, Alpharetta, Suwanee and Duluth.

“For the community, the league allows children to learn basketball skills, develop teamwork abilities and play in a safe, nurturing environment regardless of where they attend school,” said Kelly Weatherly, Director of Auxiliary Programs and Outreach. “For our current families, the league serves as part of our commitment to offer a convenient, 12-month experience rather than having to take your children to another league across town.”

The league runs from Nov. 5 through Feb. 4 and is run by Wesleyan coaches with assistance from the school’s varsity and junior varsity basket-

ball players.

London film crew coming to Brookwood A London film crew is scheduled to visit Brookwood High School this week to interview band director Laura Stanley and her parents, who once led a marching band performance at the famous London New Year’s Day parade. Brookwood’s band will perform at the parade on New Year’s Day 2017.

The media team from London will also record a Brookwood rehearsal.

Footage will run on BBC/ CNN during live coverage of the Jan. 1 parade.

Stanley and her parents, Elden and Wanda Moates, retired band directors at Fannin County High School for more than 30 years, took the FCHS band to the famous London parade in 2002 while Stanley assisted them.

Keith Farner writes about education. Good News from Schools appears in the Sunday edition of the Daily Post.

not being rude — they just genuinely don’t notice you as they sit at the now-green light, texting or putting on makeup. Nor do they care.

They’re so wrapped up in their own little world that it never occurs to them someone else might be using the road, too.

And finally there are the clinically insane, the speed demons, consistently going 10 to 15 mph faster than anyone else, cutting in and out of heavy traffic like an action hero in a car chase.

They don’t even slow down for rain — which is why anytime there’s the hint of a shower anywhere in the metro area, you’ll im-

mediately hear about five different accidents on the freeways.

I seem to remember being taught, back when I was in high school driver’s ed, to be a defensive driver.

I wonder: Were these people taught to be offensive? Or does it just come naturally?

PET OF THE WEEK

Each week the Gwinnett Daily Post will feature an animal available for adoption at the Georgia SPCA, which is located at 1175 Buford Highway, Suite 109, Suwanee, GA 30024. The hours of operation are Mondays through Fridays 11 a.m. until 7 p.m., Saturdays 11 a.m. until 5 p.m., and Sundays 1 until 4 p.m. You can see the rest of the adoptable cats and dogs at www.georgiaspca.org.

Emery is a very handsome, big guy with tons of energy. He is housetrained and looking for a forever home with a family that has the time and space to give him lots of exercise and play every day along with basic training.

A fenced yard would be a definite plus. If you are looking for a large dog to join your family, come meet Emery at the shelter.

Emery’s adoption fee is $250. He has been neutered, disease tested (dogs testing positive for heartworms are treated; however, we do not add that charge to our adoption fee), given age appropriate vaccinations, dewormed and is up to date with flea/tick & heartworm prevention.

A 24Petwatch microchip will be listed in the adopter’s name and the adopter will receive 30 days of 24PetWatch pet insurance.
