“These latest ARC population estimates show that the Atlanta region is resilient and continues to be a place of opportunity and a magnet for people seeking a high quality of life,” said Kerry Armstrong, the ARC board’s chairman and a representative of Gwinnett on the regional body, in a statement.

The new population data pegs Gwinnett’s population at 877,100 people, which is

up from 859,800 in 2015 and 805,321 in 2010. It comes at a time when the ARC said population growth is picking up and counties are growing faster than they have since the Great Recession began.

Gwinnett County Commission Chairwoman Charlotte Nash said there are several reasons why she felt people would want to move to the county, ranging from employment to recreational and

educational opportunities.

“Gwinnett continues to grow because people are attracted by our great schools, by job opportunities and by quality of life amenities like outstanding public safety services and nationally acclaimed parks,” she said.

“Then there are factors like housing choices, moderate taxes, an excellent library system and varied dining and cultural experiences.

“All in all, Gwinnett is a community where people not only want to live, but also work, learn and play.”

In all, the 10-county metro area added 69,200 people over the last year, a growth spurt of 1.6 percent, according to the ARC. Cobb County had the third largest growth, taking in 9,900 new residents, followed by Cherokee (6,800

He is accused of torturing and killing James Sramek and his mother, Nicola Sramek, at the Barrington Hills apartment complex off Jones Mill Road.

“He was linked to the scene of the crime through video surveillance and physical evidence,” Washington said.

LAWRENCEVILLE — Kira Freeman was equal parts excited and emotional as she stood outside her daughter’s new residence hall on Thursday morning.

The Georgia Gwinnett College mother has been through this before with another child at Northeastern University in Boston. But she still wasn’t quite sure about the new experience her daughter, Jamie Eason, was set to begin.

“I think it’s going pretty well, I think she’s 90 percent there,” said Freeman of her daughter, a recent graduate of North Atlanta High School.

joshua.sharpe@gwinnettdailypost.com

Only being about an hour away is a lot easier for mom to swallow, she said.

Eason plans to study psychology and expects to eventually transfer to the University of Georgia. Of four choices, Freeman said Eason was initially skeptical of GGC but then fell in love with the school.

“The staff and how they nurture, how inviting they were, friendly, how they welcomed her,” Freeman said.

Guilty plea ends gang-related murder trial

BY ERIKA WELLS

erika.wells @gwinnettdailypost.com

A man who ended the life of a 21-year-old mother near Norcross likely dodged a longer sentence Thursday by pleading guilty to murder.

Omar “Demon” Santana, 28, a purported member of the La Gran Familia street gang, had been on trial this week, but decided to take a deal. He agreed to a life sentence for the shooting death of Malia Ross Robinson, who got caught in the middle of a dispute at a nightclub in December 2012.

Under the agreement, Santana will be eligible for parole after 25 years.

During the sentencing, he apologized to Ruth WebsterLewis, the mother of the victim, according to the Gwinnett County District Attorney’s Office.

The incident began with a run-in between rival gangs, La Gran Familia and Baby Latinos 6, at Liquid Ultra Lounge, Prosecutor Lee

Tittsworth said in his opening statement Wednesday.

Robinson was not a gang member, but was in town visiting friends from middle school who were. She had attended school in Georgia before relocating to Maryland.

Robinson had hopes of moving back to Georgia for better job opportunity with her husband and 3-yearold daughter, according to Webster-Lewis. Robinson had been married 45 days when she was shot.

Webster-Lewis testified

Robinson was staying with Lance Aiken, an alleged Baby Latinos 6 member, and his mother at 4161 Phil Niekro Parkway off Beaver Ruin Road.

The night of the dispute, Robinson was seen with Aiken in the nightclub. He was waving a blue bandanna, also known as a “flag,” that set off a La Gran Familia member offended by the color, Tittsworth said.

The gangs met in the parking lot before going to a nearby QuikTrip gas station. Somewhere along the

way, Robinson tried to call 911 for help.

The gangs finally met outside the Aiken home.

Santana fired a handgun from a car full of fellow La Gran Familia members, according to the state.

When the gunshots flew,

Aiken and his mother hit the ground for safety. But Robinson, unsure of how to react, ran toward the house and was struck in the abdomen by a bullet.

Police later arrived to find Robinson on the ground.

Tittsworth said Robinson may have questioned the lifestyle her friends got involved with after she moved to Maryland.

“In the time she went away, the people had found something more valuable than friendship,” he said.

Mitsubishi officials announce record year for charitable giving

BY CURT YEOMANS

curt.yeomans @gwinnettdailypost.com

Mitsubishi Electric Classic officials announced on Thursday that its charitable giving has surpassed $1 million after a record-setting year at this year’s tournament.

The PGA Champions Tour tournament, formerly known as the Greater Gwinnett Championship, raised $515,000 for charities in the area during this year’s tournament, the first under the Mitsubishi Electric name. That total is up 184 percent from the 2015 tournament and the largest haul in the tournament’s history.

In all, the Mitsubishi Electric Classic has raised $1.04 million since it was established in 2013.

“Our goal is to use this tournament as a means to invest in the community, delivering a positive and helpful impact to Gwinnett County and Georgia,” Mitsubishi Electric Classic Executive Director Stan Hall said in a statement. “The ability to raise more money than in previous tournaments is a testament to what this tournament can do to help spur change and empower those organizations to make a difference.”

Officials said a key reason why the amount

of money raised for local charities was up so much this year was the addition of the Birdies for Charity program. The program, which included Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan’s Celebrity-Am Classic, Tasting on Tee, the Novelis Celebrity Challenge and Georgia United Credit Union Executive Women’s Day raised $292,000.

“We’re so proud to be a part of this community and this record breaking year.

Norcross officials have big plans for the area around Lillian Webb Park, but they first need to find a developer to help make turn those plans into reality.

Restaurants, office space, additional downtown parking and even some residential areas are all being considered as uses for 16 parcels at various points around the park.

It’s a move that, in some regards, will help extend Norcross’s downtown area to Buford Highway.

“We are expecting the project to complement the historic downtown, with mixed-use and additional parking,” Development Authority of Norcross Operations Manager Susan Warner said in a statement. “It should be a great addition with a lot of additional opportunities for our citizens and visitors.”

Warner said the city is put-

ting on an emphasis on developing retail and office space around the park, particularly on its south end. She added the likelihood that apartments will be built is “limited,” but “condominiums and town homes are welcome.”

A write-up explaining the city’s plans for the area to prospective developers lists the project as a “new town” type of development

that would be located in Norcross’ historic downtown area. The developments will also surround a planned new Norcross library branch that the city and Gwinnett County is looking to build next to the park.

The project details were published by the development authority when the city announced it was seeking proposals from firms on July

Finding Senior Housing can be complex, but it doesn’t have to be.

18, and those firms who are interested in doing the work have until Sept. 2 to respond.

She added that firms will have to keep in mind studies and plans that the city developed in partnership with residents, Mayor Bucky Johnson and the City Council.

The plans include developing a 0.32-acre parcel known as Parcel No. 9, or Project North, at the corner of College Avenue and Britt Avenue with a commercial development. This parcel is next to the park’s entrance.

“Parcel No. 9 is the closest to the historic downtown area and Norcross City Hall,” officials wrote in the project write-up. “Development of this parcel is reserved for commercial improvement which may include restaurants (and) shopping.”

Other plans include building a parking deck on four parcels with a combined total of about 2.52 acres of land that wraps around the Norcross Community Center between Mitchell Road and Britt Avenue. City documents show officials prefer to have entrances to the deck on both Britt Avenue and Mitchell Road.

“The parking deck would serve Project North, the Community Center, theater and downtown area,” officials wrote in project write-up.

There are two additional parcels, with a combined 0.71 acres of land, next the proposed site for the parking deck that are not set aside in documents for a specific purpose. Warner said their use will left up to whoever is hired to do the work.

The other section of the planned development area is a nine parcel, 3.34-acre cluster situated between the southern corner of the park and the intersection of Buford Highway and Holcomb Bridge Road. City officials wrote in their write-up that they consider that intersection to be “the new gateway into our city.”

The planned new library would also be built immediately northeast of this cluster.

“The park’s project building concept will include an urban center that combines commercial building (restaurants, shopping, offices, etc.) with residential,” according to the city’s write-up on the plans. “Some residential units have already been built as the Parkside project (private development).”

Medicare’s wellness exam a time for assessments DR. ROACH WRITES: A recent column on Medicare’s wellness exam has generated a lot of confusion.

A Medicare wellness exam is intended to go over the results of a health risk assessment, based on a person’s answers to questions about health behaviors and risks. It also is supposed to make sure that the entire health care team is known to the primary-care doctor taking care of the patient, and to go over any changes in medical history, family history and medications.

The provider assesses the patient’s risk for depression and falls, checks hearing and reviews home safety, measures height, weight, waist circumference and blood pressure, and takes any other appropriate measurements.

The provider, based on this information, makes recommendations on appropriate testing and treatment options.

A physical exam is NOT required for this special Medicare wellness visit; however, the provider is not prevented from doing an exam. My personal practice is to perform a physical exam during these visits. However, many practitioners wrote to me that there is simply not enough time to do a physical exam while fulfilling the necessary requirements of the annual wellness exam, and I appreciate that.

Several of my colleagues perform both an annual wellness visit and a routine exam on the same day; however, this leads to the patient being billed for the routine visit, and many have given up on this practice. One physician stated that he spends 20 percent of an average Medicare visit explaining patients’ insurance plans to them.

I heard from patients who have said they have not been examined at all in five years, having been told Medicare does not cover physicals.

This is not how medicine should be practiced. If the annual wellness visit is used to go over the results of a health risk assessment and other issues, as above, then the patient should come back at a different visit for evaluation of any symptoms or questions he or she may have.

DEAR DR. ROACH: Are there any long-term side effects from getting many steroid shots over the years?

I’m 73 and have had them in my shoulder, knees, hip and for trigger finger. What are the limits on them for safety?

— W.S. ANSWER: Excess steroids can cause problems both locally (where they are injected) and systemically (to the body as a whole).

However, the amount of steroid given in an injection to a joint (usually for arthritis), a bursa (for bursitis) or other locations such as a finger, is relatively small — usually less than a day’s worth of the steroids your body naturally produces.

ly, but she has crossed a couple of important emotional and sexual boundaries, and writing it off as “lust” isn’t going to cut it. Surely her lust hasn’t gone away, so what’s next?

When a relationship hits a tough spot, it’s easy to declare yourselves “on a break” and basically act out your worst instincts.

It’s hard during these moments to double down, hold hands and plow into your challenges together.

I can’t tell you whether to stay together or break up, but if you want to continue this relationship, you should insist on professional relationship counseling. Find someone with experience dealing with same-sex couples.

DEAR AMY: I know this is not a life-altering question, but I would appreciate any suggestions you have for me. I have an absolutely beautiful 9-year-old daughter who is quite tall and mature looking. While she is not overweight, she has a solid build.

She has outgrown the children’s sizes in the clothing stores, but I can’t find anything remotely appropriate for her to wear in the junior’s section.

(In fact, I am pretty sure I won’t find this “junior” clothing appropriate when she is a teenager. What are these designers thinking?)

I cannot be the only parent with this problem.

Do you have any ideas of how I can appropriately clothe my daughter?

— Wondering Mom DEAR MOM: My own daughter passed me in height when she was 9, and I well remember the awkward transition and dearth of choices for a girl who is as tall as a teenager but still a little kid.

I checked various store sites and also Pinterest for ideas for you, and suggest this basic look to start: Leggings, an oversize T-shirt or blouse and a fun vest and/or denim jacket.

Fringe seems to be “in” this year, and you might be able to find a fringe jacket your daughter likes.

Leggings (and “jeggings”) are a lifesaver for tall girls. They give and grow with you, come in all kinds of great colors and patterns, layer well with tops and dresses and go with everything. Don’t leave your daughter out of this process; it is vital that she likes what she is wearing.

Couple ‘on break’ almost breaks DEAR AMY: My girlfriend and I have been together for two years.

Recently, due to certain circumstances, we have been bickering and fighting over nonsense. She proposed the idea that we “see other people.”

Amy, I made sure to ask if this meant sleeping with other people. She said no.

She even jokingly said that if I was considering doing that that I should give her two months’ notice so she could begin wrapping her head around the idea.

Then she meets this guy at her new job. Within two weeks of knowing him, she sleeps with him.

Now I’m the sucker who is hurt and confused.

I’m a woman, so now I feel as though I’m not good enough and can’t satisfy her.

I’m feeling insecure and I’m sure that it could happen again.

We love each other and she acknowledged that she hurt me.

She quit the job and promised to never speak to him again.

I feel as though I was cheated on. She said it was just lust.

I forgave her for my own sanity, but I’m in

Ask Amy

Amy Dickinson pain and can’t let it rest.

How do I forget this?

How do I touch her again?

Should I make the choice of going our separate ways, or should we work it out?

— Torn in Two DEAR TORN: You and your girlfriend are in a crisis moment that has likely been building up for a long time.

You should not force yourself to simply forget this episode. Instead, you should dive in, try to decode it and work with your girlfriend to make a series of choices about your relationship.

You don’t mention what she wants to do from here on out, although the fact that she quit her job and has cut off contact with the guy tells you that she is eager to move forward.

No doubt she would like you to get over this quick-

world&nation world China power plant blast kills at least 21 people BEIJING — An explosion at a power plant in China killed at least 21 people and injured five on Thursday, state media said, the latest deadly industrial accident in a country that struggles with poor safety standards.

The blast in the city of Dangyang in the central province of Hubei took place around 3:20 p.m., when a high-pressure steam pipe exploded, the official Xinhua news agency said.

“The injured have been rushed to hospital,” it said, adding that authorities had launched a rescue effort, although the cause of the blast had not immediately been pinpointed.

Cops say man in Ontario raid was in final stages of attack plan STRATHROY, Ontario — The man killed by Canadian police in a raid at his home in Ontario on Wednesday was a supporter of Islamic State who was in the final stages of attacking a major urban center with a homemade bomb, police said on Thursday.

Police raided the home of Aaron Driver in the small town of Strathroy, some 140 miles southwest of Toronto, after receiving credible information, including a “martyrdom video,” from U.S. authorities that he planned an attack, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police said.

Driver died after he detonated an explosive device in the backseat of a taxi as police closed in, the RCMP said at a news conference in Ottawa. Police could not say if he died as a result of that detonation, or because he was shot by officers.

The video provided by the Federal Bureau of Investigation allowed the RCMP to identify Driver. In the video, which was shown at the news conference, a man in a black balaclava reads verses from the Koran, refers to crimes against Muslims and pledges an imminent attack on a Canadian city.

“Oh Canada, you received many warnings, you were told many times what would become of those who fight against the Islamic State,” the man says in the video.

Russia: Killing our servicemen in Crimea will have consequences MOSCOW — Russia’s Foreign Ministry said on Thursday that the death of Russian servicemen in armed clashes on the border between Crimea and Ukraine over the weekend would have consequences.

The ministry said in a statement that attempts to destabilize the situation in Crimea would fail and urged other countries to put pressure on Ukraine to refrain from any dangerous steps.

Russia has previously said that one soldier and one FSB security service employee were killed in the clashes.

Ukraine has denied they took place.

Trump ISIS claim draws rebuke Candidate says Obama, Clinton ‘co-founders’

By Ginger Gibson and Steve Holland Reuters

WASHINGTON/ MIAMI BEACH, Fla. — Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump’s characterization of U.S. President Barack Obama and Democratic rival Hillary Clinton as “cofounders” of the Islamic State militant group drew swift rebuke on Thursday as “false” and “unhinged.”

The exchange was the latest in a series of attacks from Trump in which he has sought to depict America as less safe, Democrats to blame and himself as the only one who can restore security.

Democrats, in turn, have used Trump’s often hyperbolic statements to argue he is unfit to be president and lacks the temperament to be trusted with matters of national security.

Wary Republicans who see the New York real estate mogul as spending too much time fighting within his own party have called on Trump to refocus his campaign message on Clinton. But for those still uncertain about whether

The blast and fire just before midnight at the fourstory complex in Silver Spring, Md., injured 34 people, including three firefighters. All the firefighters were treated and released.

Residents reported smelling gas just before the blast, Montgomery County Executive Ike Leggett said at a news conference. The explosion was felt more than a mile away and tossed debris as far as 300 feet, fire officials said.

Two bodies were found in the building rubble but police were unable to complete a search because the site needed to be shored up, according to Montgomery County Assistant Police Chief Russ Hamill.

“We still believe some people are still unaccounted for,” he said. Hamill did not give a specific number and said the cause of the blast was still being investigated.

Daytime light may help sleep problems tied to screens

By Lisa Rapaport Reuters

People who pass many waking hours exposed to bright light may not experience sleep problems even when they read on a tablet every night before bed, a small experiment suggests.

Plenty of previous research has linked reading on tiny screens to disrupted or abbreviated sleep, especially when people use tablets and smartphones right before bed.

“Our results could therefore suggest that light exposure during the day, e.g. by means of outdoor activities or light interventions in offices, may help combat sleep disturbances associated with (light from electronic devices),” Rangtell said by email.

For the experiment, Rangtell and colleagues assessed participants’ sleepiness before bed and after

Trump tries to mess up the system WASHINGTON — Apparently we’ve reached the part where Donald Trump, not satisfied with having demolished the Republican Party, tries to bring down the rest of the political system as well. No one should be surprised.

The garbage that comes out of his mouth gets more vile and putrid by the day. On Tuesday, he suggested that fervent defenders of the right to keep and bear arms could take things into their own hands if Hillary Clinton were elected. It was a shocking incitement to political violence.

“If she gets to pick her judges, nothing you can do, folks,” Trump told a rally in North Carolina. “Although the Second Amendment people — maybe there is, I don’t know.”

We all understood exactly what he was saying. House Speaker Paul Ryan suggested that perhaps he was trying to be funny. Since Trump knows nothing, perhaps Ryan will explain to him that five of our 44 presidents have been shot while in office.

A day later, Trump was equally unhinged at a Florida rally when he went on a bizarre rant about the terrorist Islamic State, also known as ISIS. “In many respects, you know, they Eugene honor President Obama.

Robinson ISIS is honoring President Obama. He’s the founder of ISIS. He’s the founder of ISIS. The founder. He founded ISIS. And I would say the co-founder would be crooked Hillary Clinton.”

Be honest, all you Republicans who support Trump despite knowing better. If you were walking down the sidewalk and someone coming toward you was screaming those words verbatim, you’d cross the street. This is the man you want to entrust with the nuclear codes? Seriously?

Conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt tried gamely to help Trump clean up the mess. “I know what you meant,” he told the candidate Thursday, “you meant that [Obama] created the vacuum, he lost the peace.”

“No, I meant that he’s the founder of ISIS, I do,” Trump said. “He was the most valuable player.”

Hewitt suggested this line of attack was a mistake. Trump’s reply: “No, it’s no mistake.

Everyone’s liking it. I think they’re liking it.”

So much for the idea that Trump, at some point, will undergo a metamorphosis and turn into a normal candidate, the kind who doesn’t go around encouraging political assassination or accusing the president of founding a terrorist group. If the cheering crowds at his hate-filled rallies are happy, Trump is happy.

Speaker Ryan and all you other reluctant Trump supporters, you know as well as I do that he’s not going to change. Not ever. You will recall that this was supposed to be the week when Trump turned to the economy.

He even gave a teleprompter-aided speech Monday that was generally praised by conservatives, who clearly are willing to grade their candidate on an absurdly generous curve.

But within a day, Trump was back to setting new lows in the history of modern presidential campaigning. If there is a trophy for Most Dishonest and Destructive, Trump is determined to retire it.

He is also determined, apparently, to rationalize his likely defeat by claiming the election was stolen from him.

The other trope he keeps returning to these days is that the election is somehow being “rigged.” He claims that the striking down of discriminatory voter ID laws in North Carolina, Wisconsin and elsewhere would make this possible. He fails to explain why Republican officials — who administer the voting process in most states — would want to steal the election from their own party.

The point isn’t logic, of course. It’s emotion. Trump strikes a chord with Republicans who cannot bring themselves to admit they were beaten fair and square by Barack Obama, not once but twice. Trump has long sought to delegitimize Obama by refusing to disown all the “birther” nonsense and insinuating that the president has some sympathy for jihadists.

Now Trump seeks to delegitimize the likely next president as well by claiming the election will be rigged.

In 2000, after the Supreme Court ruled 5-4 that the Florida recount must cease, Al Gore graciously conceded to George W. Bush. Gore said he was doing so “for the sake of our unity as a people and the strength of our democracy.”

Can anyone imagine Trump ever giving such a speech?

Trump wants to stoke anger, resentment and victimhood. He abases our democracy — and Republican elected officials abase themselves by supporting him. History will have no mercy for Trump’s enablers.

Fond memories of Georgia’s former First Lady ATLANTA — Betty Foy Sanders, the widow of former Georgia Governor Carl Sanders, at 90, looks regal just like she always has. Appearing much younger than her years, she was reminiscing with friends about her wedding, which took place in Statesboro 69 years ago.

It was hot, 103 degrees at the First Baptist Church in an era devoid of air conditioning. As the ceremony evolved, she saw tears sliding down her mother’s cheeks. Naturally she was touched by her mother’s emotions but soon realized the heat was so intense that the candles were melting much to her mother’s dismay. Her tears were not that she was losing her daughter.

Betty Sanders, among other heart-warming qualities, has always had a sense of humor, which is a considerable asset for a First Lady. Betty and Carl became an accomplished team with a bent for giving back to the state and their communities. Carl was a handsome, well-spoken and cogent leader whose political skills not only served himself well, but also the state.

During his term as governor, 1963-66, Georgia prospered so much (the state enjoyed a $140 million dollar surplus when Sanders left office), you would have thought that the voters would have welcomed him back with open arms four years later.

Governors in those years could not succeed themselves. He

Loran Smith had to sit out four years before running again. In that election, Carl was rejected — which was reminiscent of the British voters turning Winston Churchill out of office in 1945 after he played a major role in leading the Allies to victory in World War II. Seeing Betty connect with her friends on her birthday stimulated a reminder of a nice interlude with her and Carl on a cold winter’s day a few years ago. A story on the governor had appeared in the Georgia football programs, related to his underwriting an athletic scholarship (he had come to UGA as a quarterback on a scholarship). I volunteered to take a box of programs to his office. Owing to the weather, he had left early for his home on Tuxedo Road which prompted Betty to extend an invitation to join them for lunch.

The kitchen staff was serving oyster soup — nothing better on a chilly day, especially if the hostess included saltine crackers.

In the warm conversation, which ensued, Betty offered the view

that while losing is hard to take, especially for a man of Carl’s competitive ilk, there was a silver lining in his political defeat in 1972. Four more years in the governor’s mansion would likely have kept him from building the leading law firm in Atlanta, which now is an international firm. “Sometimes, things work out for the best,” she smiled.

Betty grew up on a large farm in Bulloch County, one without electricity and running water, but early on she was recognized for possessing an inquiring mind with a deep and abiding love for drawing, which segued into a cultivation of art. She became friends with Lamar Dodd, the celebrated UGA artist, who headed up the Art Department at the University, where she enrolled after a year at Georgia Teachers College in her hometown. She would become a revered artist herself.

In high school, she was about as well rounded as possible, playing the piano and basketball.

She was also a cheerleader and marched with the band; took dancing lessons and knew how to boil peanuts for her girlfriends when they came out to the farm.

The rural life was the good life. Even when her family moved to town, she maintained a longing for the outdoors and her rural roots which made her compatible with the voter constituency when Carl ran for political office. Her background enabled her to converse with people of

all walks of life.

As First Lady she had affection for underscoring and promoting the arts throughout the state and utilized her husband’s political clout to advance her advocacy of the arts which influenced the development of museums across the state along with focusing attention for the arts in the University system of Georgia.

Once, at Sea Island, when Carl was hosting out-of-state businessmen, whom he was recruiting to bring business to Georgia, he noticed that his one-time adversary Marvin Griffin unable to secure seating for dinner. When Carl invited one of the most colorful raconteurs ever to hold office in the state to join him and his party, it wasn’t long before Griffin had Carl’s guests guffawing with uncontrolled laughter.

I wouldn’t count much on modern technology Modern technology is wonderful — until it isn’t.

Think about all the things we can do from the comfort of our own home. I can put my thumb on an icon on my telephone screen and find out what the weather is expected to be in Basil, Switzerland, Cologne, Germany and Amsterdam, Netherlands At any given moment for the next 10 days. That’s pretty handy information to have when those cities are among your destinations for the next 10 days. You don’t want to pack shorts and T-shirts when the temperatures are going to dip into the upper 30s at night.

Conversely, you don’t want to plan on dungarees and sweaters if the anticipated highs are in the mid-80s.

See. Technology. Great stuff.

Way down below the equator the summer Olympics is going on, although I am not sure that it is summer in Brazil. I can watch Americans win gold medals coming and going, in real time, and can flip back and forth between venues and even catch an inning of a baseball game, another lie by Hillary Clinton or another catastrophic remark by Donald Trump during commercials — all in wide screen, high definition splendor. Technology is so grand.

The girl I spoke to was really nice and told me all about the Cubs and how she didn’t own a television herself and all about her college experience and about how mean and rude her customers could get when she gave them news they didn’t like.

After about an hour on the phone with her, during which I plugged and unplugged my devices about a dozen times, she gave me news that I didn’t like.

She told me that they would have somebody out on Saturday to take a look at everything.

When I explained that I wouldn’t be able to work or watch the Olympics for three days, she told me to hang on and that she would try to expedite our service. When she came back she said it would be Monday before anyone could come because someone else had taken our Friday appointment. But she promised that a supervisor would call me back within a few hours to try and come up with a better solution. Twenty-six hours later and no call.

That kind of experience played out across hundreds of cars, trucks and SUVs as the first wave of some 750 students moved on campus, snaking around tje residence halls. They’re all preparing to begin classes on Monday.

It was an all-day affair that expects to continue into the weekend. In what is an annual exercise, about 250 volunteers helped direct traffic, push laundry carts and carry mirrors, suitcases and bedding.

Carl Woods, director of wellness and recreation, is a regular at the event to direct traffic and keep the line of vehicles moving. But a new face was Tony Gray of the Baptist Collegiate Ministries, who was among about 10 people from that organization. Gray recently moved to GGC from Columbus State University, and along with that experience he’s helped two children moved on to a college campus.

“Some moms and dads are having a tough time, but generally they’re excited, and the students are real, real excited,” Gray said.

Dean of Students Tomas Jimenez called it a welcome home week, as it proved

She told the newspaper that he’d also been a longtime bartender and budding rapper who kept money on him and had been known to draw the ire of others.

“Whoever did this are a bunch of cowards,” Arvia told the Daily Post.

“I think whoever did this had a personal vendetta against my brother. Why would they go after his mom?”

the Georgia Chamber of Commerce, meanwhile, is finalizing recommendations for the state to increase access to medical services for the uninsured. The Chamber recommendations are expected to focus on a more conservative approach to potential Medicaid expansion than other states have chosen.

The extra money from Medicaid expansion largely comes from states getting an enhanced federal match — at least 90 percent — for the population under 138 percent of the federal poverty limit, Matthew Buettgens, an author of the Urban Institute study, said Monday.

Bill Custer, a health insurance expert at Georgia State University, said Monday that the federal spending boost “is simple math — it’s how the expansion is set up.”

“The study demonstrates what individual states have already said: State budgets benefit from expansion,” he said.

The Florida cases have led to an increase in calls from OB-GYNs in Georgia and others interested in getting more information, she said.

Last week the Atlantabased CDC took the unprecedented step of warning pregnant women to avoid the square-mile area of Wynwood.

According to the New York Times, Dr. Lyle R. Petersen, who is managing the Zika response of the CDC, said, “Obviously when people detect local transmission, there’s a lot of different opinions. People panic and there’s potential for irrational thinking in either direction, not doing enough and doing too much.”

Petersen said because the continental United States has better mosquito control, more air conditioning and less standing water than other countries dealing with the Zika virus, there are most likely to be only “handfuls of local transmission and very rare outbreaks,” which will be containable with a targeted response, the Times reported.

“It’s not the whole city — it’s a very small part of the city,” Dr. Petersen said of the possible risk in Miami. “So the recommendation is just don’t go there, particularly if you’re pregnant. In the rest of the city, you’re more likely to get killed in a car crash than you are to get Zika virus.”

Gwinnett Democrats will discuss voting rights lawsuit against county

By Curt Yeomans curt.yeomans @gwinnettdailypost.com

The Gwinnett County Democratic Party will devote this weekend’s monthly breakfast to the voting rights lawsuit civil rights groups recently filed against the county in a programming shift announced on Thursday.

The party had originally announced criminal defense attorney Brian Whiteside would speak on how people should behave during traffic stops at the breakfast, which will take place at at 8:30 a.m. on Saturday at Bob’s Home Cooking Country Buffet, 3455 Peachtree Industrial Blvd., in Du-

luth.

On Thursday, however, party Chairman Jim Shealey announced the group would instead hear from Stephen Day, who is one of the Democratic Party’s representatives on the Gwinnett County Board of Elections and Registration. The presentation is expected to touch on the lawsuit, which alleges minority voting strength is restricted by the way county commission and school board district lines are drawn.

The party said Day will discuss the demographic breakdown in the county commission and school board districts.

The Georgia NAACP, the Georgia Association

of Latino Elected Officials and The Lawyers Committee for Civil Rights filed the lawsuit against the county, the school system and the elections board on Monday. They are seeking to have districts redrawn to have at least two majority-minority districts on each board.

They are also seeking to have an injunction placed against the county having a county wide elected chairman on the county commission.

Shealey is the Democratic Party’s candidate for commission chairman in this year’s general election, which marks the first time since 2011 that the seat has been contested.

New Fast-Acting Diet Pill Goes On Sale Nationwide University of California clinical study shows users lose 12-lbs in 8-weeks without dieting or working out; Gwinnett Daily Post readers get special discount supply for next 48-hours only

By R.S. Jordan Health News Syndicate HNS – The Applied Scientific Research Center has just released a powerful new weight loss product proven to melt unsightly body fat.

Dieters are clogging up phone lines in hopes of getting their supply before inventory runs out.

The company has reportedly discovered an ingredient that dieters are eager to try, especially those who have been frustrated by ineffective options in the past.

The product featuring this new ingredient is called OxiTrim. The clinical trials show the product works great for anyone, but the company is particularly excited about its ability to help dieters over 50 because they are such an ideal match for the product’s main benefit – a faster fat-melting metabolism.

According to the head of product development, Anne Evans, “When you have 15-35 pounds to lose, a faster metabolism is the key to reaching your goal, especially if you’re trying to avoid intense workouts. And if you’ve got more than 35 pounds to lose, there’s a good chance your slow metabolism is to blame.”

Why Dieters Are So Excited Researchers who discovered this new ingredient believe it triggers weight loss by helping your metabolism work like it did when you were younger. “As we age, we tend to store more food as fat, even when eating smaller amounts,” said Chief Researcher, Tom Ferguson.

OxiTrim sparks weight loss by helping the body process food the way it used to.

Early users of OxiTrim are experiencing real weight loss for the first time in years.

Many are noting it’s the first time they’ve seen results without starving themselves or massive dietary changes. Best of all, noticeable inches are coming off and smaller clothes are fitting again.

“Around 40 years old, it got harder to stay thin, and after menopause it felt like my metabolism took a nosedive. After years of gaining weight, I’m finally able to fit into my old jeans and the pooch at the top of my stomach is gone!” said Mary L. from Minneapolis, an early user of OxiTrim.

Impressive 8 Week Study

were published in the Journal of Medicinal Food as well as Obesity Journal.

The randomized, double-blind study involved subjects who were given either the primary ingredient found in OxiTrim, or a placebo, twice daily.

Participants received a normal 2,000 calorie diet and walked for 30 minutes, 5 days a week The results extraordinary.

were

Participants taking the new ingredient lost almost 4 times as much weight as their placebotaking counterparts.

Perhaps even more exciting for those struggling with weight loss is that subjects lost a remarkable 4.7 inches around their waist without grueling workouts or massive dietary changes. This equates to 2 pants sizes for men and 4-6 dress sizes for women!

Recommended By Medical Doctors Since so many weight loss products are untested and often times ineffective, medical doctors are usually hesitant to recommend them.

OxiTrim is a rare exception.

Dr. Ahmad Alsayes says, “OxiTrim is a great option if you’re looking to lose 1535 lbs. The research behind it is incredible, and the fact that it’s not based on stimulants means it’s safer than most alternatives available.”

“One of the absolute best things you can do to improve your blood pressure and cholesterol levels is lose weight,” says Dr. M. Usman, M.D. “Regularly taking OxiTrim is a great way to make progress in all three.”

“People always wonder ‘will it work for me?’” said CoFounder Michael Kenneth. “After they see these clinicals they can’t wait to try it for themselves. They have hope again. We believe this is the big driver behind the crazy demand we’ve seen for OxiTrim,” he added.

And Dr. Ana Jovanovic noted, “If you’re looking to shrink your gut, get rid of the pooch on top of your jeans and see visibly noticeable weight loss, it usually takes just 10-15 lbs.

OxiTrim is a great choice for people who have struggled with these problems in the past.”

How It Triggers Weight Loss

How To Get OxiTrim

The active ingredient featured in OxiTrim comes from a plant that grows in India called Sphaeranthus Indicus.

Native Indians have used it for centuries for a wide variety of ailments, but new research points to it being a powerful tool in the fight against obesity.

This is the official release of OxiTrim in Georgia. As such, the company is offering a special discounted supply to any dieter who calls within the next 48 hours.

Unlike the dime-adozen stimulant based weight loss products that often trigger high blood pressure, jittery feelings and sleeplessness, this new ingredient works through a mechanism weight loss researchers have not seen before.

According to Chief Researcher Ferguson, “This ingredient activates a protein in the body that helps it break down fatty acids. In simple terms this means you safely lose weight because your body is using food as energy rather than storing calories as fat.”

A Regional Order Hotline has been set up for local readers to call. This gives everyone an equal chance to try OxiTrim.

Starting at 6:00 am today the order hotline will be open for 48 hours.

All you have to do is call TOLL FREE 1-800-998-3379 and provide the operator with the special discount approval code: OTD16. The company will do the rest.

Current supplies of OxiTrim are limited, and callers that don’t get through to the order hotline within the next 48 hours will have to wait until more inventory is produced. This could take as long as 6 six weeks.

Trio of homers help Brewers beat Braves The Sports Xchange MILWAUKEE — Roberto Hernandez’s second major league start of the season was spoiled by home runs from Chris Carter, Scooter Gennett and Hernan Perez as the Milwaukee Brewers beat the Atlanta Braves 11-3 to earn a split of their four-game series at Miller Park.

Hernandez (1-1), formerly known as Fausto Carmona, lasted only four innings against Milwaukee, allowing five runs on seven hits while striking out a pair.

For the Brewers, Matt Garza (4-4) worked six innings and only allowed two runs despite giving up six hits and three walks with two strikeouts. But it was the offense that shined Thurs-

day, collecting for 14 hits and scoring in every inning.

Jonathan Villar and Perez had three hits apiece for Milwaukee, while Gennett and Manny Pina each finished with two hits.

Carter hit his second home run in as many days in the first inning, a two-run shot that scored Orlando Arcia and gave the Brewers a 2-0 lead.

Keon Broxton made it a 3-0 game in the second when he scored while Pina was thrown out trying to steal second, and Gennett put the Brewers up 4-0 in the third with his 10th home run of the year.

Perez followed with a solo homer in the fourth and Gennett added an RBI single in the fifth to give the Brewers a 6-0 lead.

Mill Creek’s Bell commits to Georgia Southern golf Mill Creek junior Emma Bell has made a commitment to the Georgia Southern women’s golf program.

Bell, who earned all-county honors from the Daily Post and all-region acclaim last season, led the Hawks to the Region 7-AAAAAA title earlier this year. She shot a team-best 74 at region, finishing second overall. She also tied for sixth in the region as a freshman for the region champion Hawks.

Williams

•From Page 1B according to Grayson head coach Jeff Herron, is that he puts the work in when no one is watching as well.

Every practice rep, weight room session and position meeting is a chance for Williams to compete.

“Work habits,” Herron said of what stands out about Williams. “He’s unbelievable. He goes hard all the time, he pushes himself, he pushes others, he’s good on both sides of the ball. He’s good whether he’s at running back, or receiver, or DB or kick returner, he’s just a very talented young man.”

Last season Williams played both ways for Archer as a starting cornerback and running back. He gained 1,339 yards rushing and had two interceptions on defense.

This season he’ll play both ways for the Rams as well.

“He’s going to do

everything,” Herron said.

“At halftime we’re going to let him sell popcorn, he’s going to cheer between timeouts, he might play in the band. I told him, ‘If you come off the field

they should fire me.’ We’ll pick our times with him certainly, but he needs to be on the field as much as possible.”

With his speed and vision, Williams has the

ability to play offense in college. Yet the 5-foot-9, 170-pounder sees himself as a defense back.

“Defense it’s just a fun game,” he said. “I just like it. It’s just something about it that hypes me up. I just enjoy playing defense for my team and making plays.”

Recruiting services agree that his future is as a defensive back. He’s a consensus four-star prospect, and ESPN rates him the 37th-best player in the country and the third-best in Georgia.

“He’s physical kid, but he’s got really good ball skills too,” Herron said.

“Some people may look at his height and say, ‘That’s a liability,’ but I don’t see that at all because he can jump like crazy. He has an understanding of how to play out there.”

His understanding of how to play the game is the same as it was when he started at 4 1/2 years-old — compete for everything.

Scrimmages

•From Page 1B non Jarvis, whose Hawks traveled to Norcross for a scrimmage late Thursday night. “It just seems like (the practice schedule) is way off. … Everything has been a bit of a rush since dead week (during the July 4 holiday).

“But I think we’re ready

to get on the field and start to correct our mistakes.

Sometimes you have to play a game and get it on film so you can identify and correct your mistakes.

We’re definitely excited.”

Eight different scrimmages involving Gwinnett teams are on the docket for tonight, with Berkmar and Discovery’s 7:30 p.m. kick-

off at Discovery being the only one pitting two county teams against each other.

Buford, South Gwinnett and Wesleyan will all welcome non-county foes to their respective stadiums for scrimmages, which will include limited action from the varsity teams, plus junior varsity and freshmen team action,

while Providence Christian, Greater Atlanta Christian, Meadowcreek and North Gwinnett will all be on the road. All those scrimmages are scheduled for a 7:30 p.m. kickoffs.

Playing softball at the next level, playing at the college level and the professional level, it kind of becomes your job. Don’t get me wrong, it’s still great, I still love it. I obviously still love the sport, my life still revolves around it. But when you are playing at the next level it pretty much becomes your job, and I think playing at a different level helped me realize that.

Even seeing how many didn’t play at the next level that I played high school ball with, I think it helps me be a high school coach just because it helps you realize that really the most important thing is becoming a better person. It’s not necessarily becoming a better softball player, that’s a huge part of it, but becoming a better person.

And I think competing at such a high level has helped me be able to coach because I see the potential of what girls can be in the softball world.

LOGANVILLE — Jamyest Williams loves competition.

It’s the reason the Grayson senior has traveled the country the last two summers, going from camp to camp: to prove he is among the nation’s top high school football players.

“It’s just about proving the best,” he said. “I’m going to go where the best are and just compete and show them who I am, why I have my offers.”

Williams has starred at several camps and is a two-time participant in Nike’s The Opening, an invite-only camp in Oregon for

Getting to Know ... Jessica Coan

By Alan Cole

Staff Correspondent

Jessica Coan, an elite softball player throughout her playing career, was one of Gwinnett’s all-time best pitchers at Greater Atlanta Christian. She played in college at Georgia Tech and North Georgia, and then professionally in Germany.

Now she’s back where it all started as GAC’s head softball coach In this week’s installment of “Getting to Know…”, staff correspondent Alan

Cole spoke with her about her career, the experience in Germany and more.

AC: Did you watch a lot of baseball and softball as a kid?

JC: Um, yes. I watched a lot of baseball as a kid. I loved watching baseball.

I started playing softball when I was 4 years old. Any time when I could be at the ballpark watching softball or even watching my brother play baseball, I was there. I also loved going to Braves games. They were my favorite to watch.

AC: Did you have a favorite player to watch on the Braves?

JC: I loved Chipper Jones. Chipper Jones was my man.

AC: That’s a pretty common answer amongst Braves fans.

JC: Yes. He’s my favorite.

AC: What was your favorite part of playing softball at GAC? JC: I would really say just the relationships I made. It was just so special

to get to play at a school where — although you could do this at every school — I felt like at GAC we could really just become friends with our teammates and with our coaches on such a deeper level because we could get to that spiritual level openly. The relationships that I built with my teammates were just really special to me, Coach (Judy) Tenney, who was the coach before me and who I took over for. That was definitely Former Greater Atlanta Christian star pitcher Jessica

Coan is now the head softball coach at her alma mater.

Coronation complete as Biles wins all-around gold

Right, Biles and Alexandra Raisman celebrate winning gold and silver, respectively, at the women’s individual all-around final. layout with half twist at (Photo: Dylan Martinez/Reuters) the end — had the Brazil-

final on Tuesday.

“Everything was going through my head, but mainly it was like I had finally done it, and when that hits you, you can’t really stop the emotions.”

For Raisman, claiming silver with a total of 60.098 meant redemption after she suffered a gutwrenching disappointment to miss out on the bronze four years ago to Russia’s Aliya Mustafina on the tie break rule.

This time, the American was all smiles as she stood one step higher than Mustafina on the podium.

“After the tie break of 2012 it was very heartbreaking, and now coming back and finally having that redemption after four years of working so hard and five times of trying in the all around final at world championships and the Olympics, it’s really special to finally be on the podium,” she said.

But she was under no illusion which medal she had been aiming for.

“No one goes in thinking they can beat Simone.

People don’t go in thinking they can beat Usain Bolt either. It’s kind of the same thing.”

Many reigning world champions before Biles have tried to conquer the Olympics, only to crumble under the weight of expectation — thus becoming victims of what in gymnastics circles is known as the “curse of the world champion”.

But rather than being crushed by the hype, Biles is such a free spirit that she simply soared higher and higher on Thursday with a dazzling floor performance that will live long in the memory of those lucky enough to be in the Rio Olympic Arena.

Biles earned 15.866 on the vault, 14.966 on the asymmetric bars and 15.433 on the balance beam.

On the floor, her explosive tumbling passes — which included her trademark soaring double

RIO DE JANEIRO — As Simone Biles stood locked in a tight embrace with her teammate Aly Raisman, waiting for her final score to come up on the big screen, the concerned look in her eyes suggested she had no idea who would be crowned Olympic all-around champion.

The American, however, was the only one still in the dark in the brightly lit Rio Olympic Arena on Thursday, as the hollering cheers and standing ovation that greeted her final tumbling pass on the floor exercise confirmed what everyone knew long before the judges’ verdict came up — Biles was the new champion.

When a stupendous score of 15.933 confirmed she had beaten Raisman by 2.100 points with a total of 62.198, the coronation — which had been in the planning stages ever since she won the first of a record three successive world titles in 2013 — could finally take place.

Then the woman who had remained stoic throughout the previous two hours as she showcased her jaw-dropping skills across four apparatuses, finally let her guard down and burst into tears.

As the realization hit home that she finally owned the biggest individual prize in the sport, the crowd saluted a gymnast who had just become the first woman in 20 years to win the Olympic all-around title as the reigning world champion.

“Every emotion hit me at once, so I was just kind of a train wreck,” Biles said after scooping a second gold in Rio following her success in the team

Australian Fraser leads by three in Rio

By Steve Keating Reuters

RIO DE JANEIRO — Australia’s Marcus Fraser made the most of a golden opportunity taking a three shot first round lead as golf made a subdued return to the Olympics after 112 years on Thursday with the sport’s biggest names and fans staying away.

There were tears and fireworks during some superb golf at the Gil Hanse designed course carved into the Marapendi Nature Reserve.

The only thing missing were spectators with half the 12,000 tickets for the opening round going unsold and only 3,100 passing through the turnstiles.

Adilson da Silva, the only Brazilian in the field, was given the honor of striking the opening tee shot, receiving a smattering of applause from the sparse early morning crowd. He later broke down in tears recalling how growing up he made clubs out of tree branches.

While da Silva provided the emotional moment of the day, Britain’s Justin Rose delivered the fireworks, carding the first ever hole-in-one in Olympic competition when he aced the par-three 191yard fourth hole.

The man of the moment, however, was Fraser, who only found his way onto

the Australian team when world No. 1Jason Day, 2013 Masters champion Adam Scott, Marc Leishman and Matt Jones all declined Olympic selection.

The 38-year-old journeyman took full advantage of his good fortune, mixing nine birdies with a single bogey for an Olympic course record eightunder 63.

“Very rarely do you get to represent your country,” said Fraser, who plays primarily on the European Tour. “I feel very fortunate to be in this position.

“Right now I have the Olympic record. That’s pretty cool. This is one of the best rounds I’ve ever played, given the circumstances.”

The expected celebration surrounding golf’s reappearance on the Games program fell flat after the

world’s four top-ranked players — Day, Americans Dustin Johnson and Jordan Spieth and Northern Irishman Rory McIlroy — opted out over the mosquitoborne Zika virus.

Sitting three back from Fraser in Rio was British Open champion Henrik Stenson of Sweden and Graham DeLaet, who opened defense of the gold medal won by Canadian George Lyon at the 1904 Summer Games, with a five-under 66.

One shot further adrift are Rose, Belgian Thomas Pieters, German Alex Cejka, Frenchman Gregory Bourdy and Spain’s Rafa Cabrera Bello.

“If you look at the leader board loads of people are in contention,” Rose said. “I always like to take the leader out of it in my mind because you

never know if they are going to continue, and I’m right there with the rest of them.”

The U.S. team had a rough start, with Matt Kuchar leading the way with a two-under 69 and the three other members failing to crack par. Patrick Reed was on 72, twice Masters champion Bubba Watson 73 and Rickie Fowler 75.

Da Silva, who had the small galleries firmly in his corner, overcame a jittery start to card a respectable one-over 72 to stay on the fringe of medal contention.

“We used to cut branches in the shape of a golf club,” said Da Silva, tears dripping off his face. “Just before the tee off my head was everywhere, don’t goof this, don’t make a scene.

“It’s such a big deal you know. All my friends are talking about it saying it’s such a nice thing to do.”

And for all the worries about Zika, there was more talk on Thursday of the threat from capybaras, the world’s largest rodent, and caimans, a kind of alligator, that roam the course.

“Still lower numbers than we are used to but a lot more passionate, energetic crowd,” Rose said.

“This is competition at the highest level and what I live for.”

Harrison repeats as judo gold medalist Reuters RIO DE JANEIRO — American Kayla Harrison defeated France’s Audrey Tcheumeo on Thursday to successfully defend her Olympic title and create a legacy as one of the all-time greats in judo.

Harrison became the first to win multiple Olympic gold medals in the women’s 78kg category and joins a short list of judokas who have won more than one gold in any weight class.

The 26-year-old American came out with guns blazing and was the aggressor the whole match but was only ahead by penalties with seconds to go, when she got Tcheumeo to submit on a hold for the match-ending ippon.

“I think it’s really hard to repeat as an Olympic champion, I think it’s one of the hardest things you can do,” Harrison told reporters afterwards.

“I can’t believe this moment has happened.

I’ve dreamt about it for a long, long time …

I worked too hard to give this up to anybody today.”

There has been much

went on to take bronze.

Tcheumeo’s silver, along with Cyrille Maret’s bronze in the men’s 100kg on Thursday, marked the third judo medal for France in Rio, but they remain without gold going into the final day of competition.

In the other men’s medals, Lukas Krpalek of Czech Republic claimed gold, Azerbaijan’s Elmar Gasimov won silver and Japan’s Ryunosuke Haga won the other bronze.

Packers’ Callahan primed for playing time The Sports Xchange DE PERE, Wis. — If Aaron Rodgers gets his way, then Joe Callahan just might get his longawaited first pro start at quarterback for the Green Bay Packers tonight.

Rodgers declared Tuesday, “I feel like I’m ready right now,” with regard to the start of the season.

With those few words said, the team leader made it clear he won’t need much work in the preseason games ahead to get ready for the Sept. 11 opener at the Jacksonville Jaguars.

By Wednesday, when the Packers held their final open practice of a shortened week, the sight of Rodgers taking merely snaps with Green Bay’s scout-team offense in team drills gave a strong suggestion he won’t play today against the Cleve-

land Browns.

Top backup Brett Hundley has been sidelined since early last week because of an ankle injury.

That would mean undrafted rookies Callahan and Marquise Williams will run the offense against the Browns at Lambeau Field.

Those two guys were going to split the quarterback snaps in what was supposed to be Green Bay’s first of five preseason games last Sunday.

However, its Pro Football Hall of Fame Game matchup with the Indianapolis Colts was canceled because of an unsafe field.

Callahan would have been in the Packers’ starting lineup.

“Yeah, I’m sure my parents were pretty upset that they didn’t get a chance to see me play,” Callahan said in the aftermath of the unfortunate turn of events.

With a few more practices under his belt this week, Callahan feels more than ready to make his unofficial NFL debut.

“I’m definitely not near the level of Aaron and his knowledge of the offense, but I feel comfortable with the offense and I’m not as hesitant,” said Callahan, the Gagliardi Trophy winner in 2015 as the top player in Division III at Wesley (Del.) College. “With that comfort, you’re able to pin your ears back and play a little bit more. With each practice and each meeting, I feel like I’m getting closer and closer to being able to play without overthinking anything.”

Arians said cornerback Cariel Brooks, wide receiver Jaxon Shipley and defensive tackle Olsen Pierre will be questionable.

With so many corners and receivers ailing, Arians said it’s a good chance for the healthy ones to shine and make an impression.

Social media changing how Tony Stewart not going fans consume NASCAR into retirement quietly

By Don Coble

By Don Coble

Staff Correspondent

One of NASCAR’s most-bizarre accidents, an iPhone and a young driver who has a unique perspective of the sport became a catalyst that launched stock-car racing headfirst into the groundbreaking platforms of digital and social media.

Brad Keselowski gained 100,000 Twitter followers during a long delay created by Juan Pablo Montoya’s 2012 crash with a jet dryer that ignited a tank of jet fuel.

He used his cellphone to snap pictures of the fire while the field sat parked on the backstretch.

In a matter of minutes, a star was born on social media. And while social media was used before the fiery explosion, the sport changed its emphasis on how its message will be delivered in the future.

“Consumption is changing in all of sports,” said Steve Phelps, NASCAR’s executive vice president and chief global sales and marketing officer. “Digital and social media is the new currency, the new signature.”

Along with its drivers, teams and partners, NASCAR has found an instantaneous way to keep everyone connected. Since NASCAR embarked down a modern avenue of information technology, there have been more than four billion impressions — and more than 2.4 billion this year alone — through social media channels.

According to NASCAR, there are 1.2 million new followers to its social platform since the season started in February; there have been 98 million NASCAR videos shared on Twitter and Facebook this year; and, there’s been a 73 percent increase in social engagements since the start of the 2015 season.

Additionally, there have been 598 million page requests at NASCAR Digital Media.

“We use it to connect our drivers to our fans,” Phelps said. “It is a perfect medium for us. And one of the reasons why it’s been so successful is the product of racing has been fantastic this year.”

Social and digital media also has become a perfect way to reach a new generation of younger fans the sport desperately needs to grow.

“And all the things that we’ve got to do, reaching millennials, the social media,” car owner Joe Gibbs said. “We’re blowing it out pretty good in social media.”

Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat and the internet now are the mostproductive way NASCAR to deliver its message, Phelps said.

Dale Earnhardt Jr. caught the Twitter bug after winning the 2014 Daytona 500. Since then, he’s posted tweets and created podcasts to keep his fans informed of his recovery from concussion-like symptoms, as well as his engagement to Amy Reimann. He now has 1.62 million followers on Twitter.

Jimmie Johnson has the most fans following him at 2.11 million. He’s also a big fan of Snapchat.

Other favorite drivers include: Danica Patrick (1.44 million), Jeff Gordon (963,000), Harvick (708,000), Keselowski (678,000), Kyle Busch (672,000), Denny Hamlin (615,000), Tony Stewart (554,000), Joey Logano (350,000) and Kyle Larson (162,000).

NASCAR has 2.92 million Twitter followers.

Much like it monitors television, radio and print interviews, NASCAR keeps an eye on social media conversations.

Even with 140 or less characters, some drivers still have found a way to get in trouble.

Darrell “Bubba” Wallace was fined $15,000 for tweeting his anger on how NASCAR reacted to a multi-car crash on the final lap of the Xfinity Series race last month at the Daytona International Speedway.

And in 2010, Hamlin was hit was a $50,000

penalty for implying NASCAR creates phantom cautions to create artificial excitement.

But Keselowski’s — “Fire. My View,” along with a photo of the burning jet dryer — became as big as the race itself, especially since he answered fans’ questions during the red-flag delay.

“Are you sitting in the car right now tweeting?” one fan asked.

“Yup,” Keselowski tweeted. “At least I’m not in the Port-a-Jon.” Keselowski sent more pictures and comments a week later at Phoenix.

This time, however, he was fined $25,000.

“Brad’s tweeting at the Daytona 500 was really our first introduction to the magnitude of the social media phenomenon at the race track, especially how we saw it unfold that evening,” NASCAR spokesman Kerry Tharp said. “We encourage our drivers to participate in social media.

“But we also have rules that pertain to competition that need to be enforced and abided by. Once the 500 took place, and in the days and weeks following the 500, NASCAR communicated to the drivers and teams that while social media was encouraged and we promoted it, the language in the rule book was clear and that drivers couldn’t carry onboard their cars electronic devices, like a phone.”

By then the phenomenanon already was on a roll. And it’s been gaining speed ever since.

Tony Stewart may be in his final year as a NASCAR driver, but the three-time champion proved again he isn’t going quietly.

He said he’s disappointed NASCAR chairman Brian France doesn’t come to many races so he can see firsthand what the sport needs.

“I want to see Brian France at the track more,” Stewart said last Thursday on SiriusXM Radio’s NASCAR channel. “I want to see him walking through the garage more.

I want to see him being more active than just showing up and patting the sponsors on the back and going up in the suite.

I want to see him down there in the trenches with everybody and understanding what’s truly going on. I think that’s where he needs to be for a while.”

Stewart already has been fined $50,000 this year for criticizing NASCAR for not requiring that all five lug nuts be installed properly. But days after those comments, NASCAR outlawed the practice of not tightening all five lug nuts.

Unlike his grandfather, NASCAR founder Bill France, and his father, Bill France Jr., Brian France said he prefers to delegate authority to others instead of being a fixture on the circuit.

Brian France also has declined invitations to attend driver council meetings.

“I know Brian France cares,” Stewart said.

“But I think there’s a lot of things that get lost in translation between a driver going to talk to somebody in the [NASCAR office] trailer to the time it gets to him. Who knows what it sounds like by the time it gets up there — or if it even gets up there? He doesn’t have to say anything. We just want to know that he’s hearing what we’re saying.”

extension of Joe Gibbs Racing, it will be able to keep the 20-year-old in its camp.

But it won’t be cheap.

As a new team, Jones won’t have the benefits of being part of the 36team charter system that guarantees select teams a starting spot for each race and a larger share of the purse.

Visser said some of the smaller teams are willing to sell their charters.

While the exact cost hasn’t been revealed, each franchise is worth millions.

“We’ve been looking at it some,” Visser said.

“We’re not exactly sure where we’re going to be on that. We are going to get a charter, but we’re not sure who we’re going to get it from yet.”

Jones, who will drive the No. 77 Toyota with primary sponsorship from 5-hour Energy won the truck title a year ago for Kyle Busch Motorsports and he currently has six poles and three victories in the Xfinity Series.

His rise through the NASCAR ranks has been meteoric.

“Well, I don’t know if at any point in your career if you’re totally ready to make that move,” Jones said. “Like I said, I felt like last year I learned a lot in the few starts I made. At the end of the day I’m as ready as I can be. At some point you got to make that jump.

You’re going to sink or

swim. Like I said, I think I’m in the best situation to hopefully swim and be successful at it.”

NASCAR to address overzealous celebrations Two days after Denny Hamlin tore up his transmission in a wild postrace celebration at Watkins Glen International, NASCAR said Tuesday it plans to create rules to keep winners from damaging their cars.

Steve O’Donnell, a senior vice president and chief racing development officer, told SiriusXM Radio’s NASCAR, changes were coming in response to long burnouts and donuts that create damage to the winning car.

When a tire blows, it often rips parts of the fender off and makes it more difficult for officials to determine if the car could pass post-race inspection.

Kurt Busch extends record for running laps By completing all 90 laps Sunday at Watkins Glen International, Kurt Busch now has completed all 5,901 laps in the first 22 races.

Dale Earnhardt Jr. had the record for finishing on the lead lap in the first 20 races of the 2012 season.

Dating back to last season, Busch has completed every lap in his last 25 starts. Since 1993, only Carl Edwards (28 races) has put together a longer streak of finishing on the lead lap.

We’ve got pretty good depth … probably got five or six guys who can play.”

That includes J.J. Green, who sat out last season after transferring from Georgia. The junior from Camden County High School rushed for 384 yards as a freshman at Georgia, but was moved to strong safety the next season. He wanted to play running back and transferred to Georgia Tech.

“J.J. has had a couple years in the system. He’s comfortable with what to do,” Johnson said. “He’s a confident guy that’s got good ability and I think he’ll help us. I’m glad to have him eligible. I wish we’d had him last year.”

The team will have its first scrimmage on Saturday morning, which is closed to the public.

From Staff Reports Georgia senior linebacker Tim Kimbrough’s questionable future became clear Thursday, when the school issued a statement that he is no longer with the Bulldogs.

Kimbrough started seven games and played in 12 last season, finishing third on the UGA defense with 67 tackles, including a high of 13 against eventual national champion Alabama.

The Indianapolis native played in 36 games in three seasons with the Bulldogs.

He is expected to finish his college playing career elsewhere.

“Based on a mutual decision between Tim and I, he will no longer be a part of our football program,” first-year UGA head coach Kirby Smart said in a UGA press release. “We wish him the best as he continues his education and playing career.”

Old and new highlight Falcons’ win Football returns to the world

By Guy Curtright Staff Correspondent

ATLANTA — The Atlanta Falcons brought Matt Schaub back for veteran protection behind quarterback Matt Ryan.

Schaub is in his 13th NFL season, but the 35-year-old showed in the preseason opener Thursday night at the Georgia Dome that he can still throw deep.

After Ryan missed on his first four pass attempts, Schaub completed 10 of 15 for 179 yards while playing the rest of the first half in the Falcons’ 23-17 victory over the Washington Redskins.

Schaub connected with bombs of 47 and 68 yards to Aldrick Robinson in the second quarter, the first setting up the first of two field goals

by Matt Bryant and the second a short touchdown plunge by rookie Brandon Wilds.

Then J.T. McKissic, an undrafted rookie from Arkansas State, padded the Falcons’ 13-3 halftime lead by returning the secondhalf kickoff 101 yards for a touchdown. The wide receiver burst up the middle of the field and outraced the Washington coverage team to the end zone.

Schaub would have had a touchdown pass but Devonta Freeman dropped a ball in the end zone before Bryant’s 24-yarder that tied the game. Bryant’s second field goal was from 42 yards out at the close of the first half.

The Falcons defense held

Washington to four first downs and 104 net yards in the first half.

“We swarmed. Everybody was running,” safety Ricardo Allen said. “The communication was on point. … We are all out there talking.”

A 36-yard field goal by rookie backup kicker Nick Rose, who missed from 39 yards in the fourth, put the Falcons up 23-3. But rookie Robert Kelley scored from a yard out for the Redskins late in the third quarter and rookie quarterback Nate Sudfield threw a 6-yard TD pass to Marcel Jensen early in the fourth.

It was a rough first outing for Ryan, who is looking for a bounce-back season behind a more cohesive

offensive line led by new center Alex Mack. The Falcons’ first possession started inside the 1-yard line and the second at the 25, the team going three-and-out both times.

“Obviously tough field position to start with, but we’ve got to do a better job of being able to punch that out and change the field position,” Ryan said. “I thought our offensive line did a nice job. We’re got to make some plays on the outside to keep those drives going.”

Redskins starting quarterback Kirk Cousins played just the first series, picking up two first downs while completing all five of his passes for 39 yards.

The Falcons didn’t get a

look under game conditions at first-round draft choice Keanu Neal, projected as a starting safety. The 17th overall pick in the draft out of Florida was limited during the week with what Falcons coach Dan Quinn called a “trunk” injury.

Neal’s injury isn’t believed to be serious, but fellow safety Kemal Ishmael left the game in the second quarter after banging up a shoulder.

Notes: Veteran Dwight Freeney, signed late by the Falcons to help the pass rush, didn’t play. … RB Cyrus Gray, another late signee, also didn’t dress. …

Out with injuries in addition to Neal were TE Levine Toilolo (hand) and RB Terron Ward (ankle).

PREP ROUNDUP

Dacula softball rallies in season opener From Staff Reports DACULA — Dacula rallied for two runs in the bottom of the seventh to defeat visiting Duluth 6-5 on Thursday. The Falcons (1-0) had given up the lead in the top half of the inning when the Wildcats (0-1) scored twice to take a 5-4 advantage.

Katherine Kozlowski blasted a home run while Jin Fileo, Makenzie Vanderhorst and Elsie Igberaese each contributed two hits to lead the Dacula offense. The Falcons received strong pitching performances from a pair of freshmen. Michaela Milando threw six innings while Skyler Antley tossed an inning in relief to pick up the win in the circle.

SOFTBALL SOFTBALL Mountain View 8, South Gwinnett 0 SNELLVILLE — Mountain View’s Madison Taylor won’t ever forget her first varsity softball game.

Georgia plays Missouri on Sept. 17 — the third weekend of football season. Nothing unusual about that, but a half century ago that would have been opening day for college football.

In another era, the players didn’t report until the Labor Day weekend, all of which spawns considerable reminiscing.

Fifty years ago, players were expected to work out on their own with the publicists at various schools writing summer pieces about the interesting jobs the players had landed.

Most sought jobs like construction, outdoor labor in the sun, which usually paid well and was a sure fire way to get in shape for the forthcoming season. Picture day took place in Sanford Stadium, mostly for the press.

There were no tape recorders visible—notepads and pens only. Fans were allowed to move onto the field, but not more than a dozen, perhaps two dozen, showed up, a very few with a Brownie.

The Atlanta JournalConstitution sent three or four writers and a couple of photographers. Athens was usually represented by a photographer and the sports editor. Writers and sometimes a photographer from somewhere like Macon or Augusta might be on hand, but for the most part, those outlets used the Associated Press for their coverage and the AP account that was a rewrite of what the AJC had reported. You were more likely to find weeklies in the surrounding area eager to corner a hometown player for a feature profile.

Jesse Outlar, the sage of Omega and Constitution sports editor, was always there along with the college editor of the Journal, Jim Minter.

Harley Bowers, the doting sports editor of the Macon Telegraph, never missed picture day.

The main attraction was the beer and barbecue party, hosted by Magill in his side yard on Woodlawn Drive down by a no name creek. The longtime mayor of Athens, Upshaw Bentley, would eventually take care of that by officially naming the creek Magill Creek. Not sure if the city maps reflect that citation by the mayor, but he did make it official, much to the pleasure of one of the greatest of Bulldog personalities ever.

There is a photo somewhere which confirms the mayor’s edict.

Long after the out-oftown press had departed, Magill regaled the

Loran Smith remainder with colorful stories. When darkness finally enveloped the premises, the party broke up.

Magill, who excelled at sports like ping pong and tennis, was always an advocate of what was generally referred to as “minor sports” in those days, but he had the deepest of affection for the signature sport of football. As picture day approached, we would always repair to Harry’s Drive-In Restaurant in Five Points in late August. As he began to wax eagerly and emotionally about the team’s prospects, he would always say, “Ah, King Football.”

This advocate of all sports, nonetheless, had a deep and abiding love for football, having grown up in Athens and covering all sports, while in grade school, for the Athens Banner Herald, whose pages were edited by his father. The Bulldog life, for this colorful and unforgettable character, was the good life.

Football today is a colossus, which makes it the most popular sport in America, unless I have missed something lately. It has become a yearround exercise with a passion that seems to intensify each season.

While it has a greater intensity today, its importance has always been significant. All you have to do is recall the episode with Forrest “Spec” Towns who entered Georgia on a football scholarship but ran the high hurdles with such alacrity and efficiency that he won an Olympic gold medal at Berlin in August 1936.

Following the Olympic games, Towns participated in an exhibition tour for a couple of additional weeks which placed him in Oslo, Norway in late August. Towns shocked the track world by running the 110-yard high hurdles in 13.7 seconds, a sensational time that stood for 14 years.

The Bulldog football coach was Harry Mehre, who had something else in mind for Towns, an end for the Bulldogs: “Minor sports are over, football practice has begun,” he advised Spec.

You are further notified that a hearing for the purpose of terminating your parental rights will be held by the Court on the 11th day of OCTOBER, 2016 at 8:30 A.M., at which time you should make your objections known.

NOTICE OF EFFECT OF TERMINATION JUDGMENT Petitioner seeks to terminate your parental rights to the child and to extend the Court’s order for the temporary custodian’s custody of the child. An order terminating the parental rights of a parent is without limit as to duration and terminates all of his or her rights and obligations with respect to the child and all rights and obligations of the child to the parent arising from the parental relationship, including rights of inheritance. A parent is not thereafter entitled to notice of proceedings for the adoption of the child by another nor has he or she any right to object to the adoption or otherwise to participate in the proceedings.

You have the right to be represented by an attorney.

If you are unable to employ an attorney without undue financial hardship, the Court will appoint one to represent you. If you desire appointment of an attorney you should advise the Court of such need immediately.

Even if your parental rights are terminated: (1) You will still be responsible for providing financial support (child support payments) for your child’s care unless and until your child is adopted; and (2) Your child can still inherit from you unless and until your child is adopted.

Pursuant to O.C.G.A. § 15-1-283(b), you are hereby put on notice that a biological father who is not the legal father may lose all rights to the child named in petition brought pursuant to this article and will not be entitled to object to the termination of his rights to such child unless, within 30 days of receipt of notice, he files: (1) A petition to legitimate such child; and (2) Notice of the filing of the petition to legitimate with the court in which the termination of parental rights proceeding is pending Further, pursuant to O.C.G.A. § 15-11-283(d), you are hereby put on notice that the court may enter an order terminating all the parental rights of a biological father, including any right to object thereafter to such proceeding; (1) Who fails to file a timely petition to legitimate the child named in the petition brought Pursuant to this article and notice in accordance with subsection (b) of this Code section; (2) Whose petition to legitimate is subsequently dismissed for failure to prosecute; or (3) Whose petition to legitimate does not result in a court order finding that he is the legal father of the child named in the petition brought pursuant to this article.

The foregoing Petition for Termination of Parental Rights is hereby approved to be filed in the best interests of the public and the children.

WITNESS, the Honorable Judge ROBERT RODATUS of said Court.
