OLYMPIC GAMES

Mayor recalls time with ’96 Olympic Band

BY CURT YEOMANS curt.yeomans@gwinnettdailypost.com

People from around the world will be tuning in to see the closing ceremonies of the Olympics in Rio this evening, but the event will be more than just a televised party for Norcross Mayor Bucky Johnson.

It will be a chance to reminisce about his involveMORE ONLINE ment in the closing Visit gwinnettdailypost.com for more photos and a video. ceremonies for another Olympics that took place 20 years ago in his proverbial backyard.

From 1992 to 1996, Johnson was the director of the Centennial Olympic Band that was formed to be a part of the festivities that took place in Atlanta during that sweltering summer two decades ago.

Four years of performances around the state and the country led up to the band’s swan song during the closing ceremonies.

“It was very celebratory,” Johnson said as he recalled those ceremonies. “Obviously, it was a very successful games that everybody was really on a high about.

This was the culmination, the last time we ever saw the band so we knew this was our last hurrah, and it went off flawlessly.

“That’s the one (Olympic moment) that sticks in my mind because it was the culmination of everything we’d done over the years leading up to that point.”

Johnson was the band director at Georgia Tech in 1990, when Atlanta was picked to host the 1996 Summer Olympics. He explained there had been a “bid band” formed to perform at events when Atlanta was still bidding for the Olympics in the late 1980’s, but it was his idea to form a band once the city was awarded the games.

“I said, ‘If they’re going to have a cultural Olympiad, why wouldn’t you have a band?’” Johnson said. “That’s a Southern thing, and so then they agreed to do it.”

The band was made up of high school and college band students who then went See OLYMPIC BAND, Page 9A

GOLDEN GIRL

Collins Hill’s Moore, U.S. women wrap up Olympic run

FROM STAFF AND WIRE REPORTS

RIO DE JANEIRO — Another impressive outing by the U.S. women’s basketball team Saturday afternoon made Maya Moore a twotime Olympic gold medalist.

The Collins Hill grad led the way again for the Americans, who rolled to a 101-72 win over Spain on Saturday for their sixth straight gold medal and 49th straight victory in the Olympics. The U.S. juggernaut took a 17-point lead at halftime and cemented its place in history by cruising from there.

Only two other teams can claim such a run of domination in an Olympic team sport — the U.S. men’s basketball’s team’s seven straight gold medals from 1936-68 and India’s six straight in men’s field hockey from 1928-56.

“It’s one thing to do the unexpected, it’s another to do what you are expected to do year-after-year, gameafter-game, quarter-afterquarter,” Moore said. “This team didn’t get complacent.

I think that is the sign of a true champion, someone who loves the game.”

Moore, also a member of the 2012 gold-medal team, scored 14 points in Saturday’s finals and also had a team-high six assists

and five rebounds. Lindsey Whalen and Diana Taurasi, who had 17 points each, led the U.S. in scoring.

“It’s mind boggling when

you think about it what this team has been able to accomplish, this program,” said U.S. coach Geno Auriemma. “There is such a

level of expectation, such a level of respect and it filters down. Everyone who puts

Emergency Management gets national recognition

BY ERIKA WELLS

erika.wells @gwinnettdailypost.com

The Gwinnett Office

of Emergency Management recently earned two Emergency Management and Response awards from the National Asso-

ciation of Counties.

The office, which is a unit of the Gwinnett Police Department, received the Emergency Opera-

presents

tions Center Management Team and Wireless Emergency Alerts awards.

For the Emergency Operations Center Management Team Award, the agency was praised for training a management team that is made up of county employees who can run the Emergency Operations Center during extended emergencies.

For the wireless award, the county was cited by NACo officials for being one of the first in the state to use the Wireless Emergency Alerts

technology, a service that helps fill a gap in notifying residents and visitors of safety threats.

Since 2007, only six awards for Emergency Management and Response have been awarded to a Georgia county, Gwinnett police Cpl. Michele Pihera said in a statement.

Earlier this month, the Board of Commissioners recognized the unit and other county departments, including the fire department, which is involved in Gwinnett’s emergency

response efforts.

Police Chief Butch Ayers, Office of Emergency Management Director Greg Swanson and staff were among the attendees. “(Swanson) is honored and pleased at the amount of progress OEM has achieved,” Pihera said. “These recognitions are justification that the Office of Emergency Management is proving to be a progressive force in dealing with crisis in Gwinnett County and beyond.”

Hammer remembered as Rockette

By Erika Wells

erika.wells @gwinnettdailypost.com

When Ellen H. Zimmerman of Loganville tried to write a eulogy Friday for her late mother, Edna Earl Hammer, all Zimmerman could do was stare at photos of a talented performer.

The woman looking back at Zimmerman was Hammer, who went by the stage name Winnie after the delightful bear in a red shirt in children’s books.

“I don’t know how she got that name, but when she was performing that’s what she was called, and it stuck,” Zimmerman said.

Hammer died Monday at age 96 surrounded by her daughters in Loganville, where she lived. The Austin, Texas, native was preceded in death by her husband, Vernon Hammer.

The teary-eyed daughter reflected on stories her mom shared about life on the road. About dancing and doing high kicks for

the world-famous Rockettes in their early years at Radio City Music Hall in Manhattan. The precision dance company started in St. Louis and began performing in New York City in the 1930s.

Initially, Hammer was an original Roxyette before the group later was called the Rockettes.

Born on Feb. 16, 1920, Hammer was discovered at age 16 at an open-air restaurant in Fort Worth by the legendary Billy Rose. Rose was known for his knack for recognizing and developing talent, said Dawsonville resident Gail Cook, Zimmerman’s older sister.

Hammer married on Dec. 14, 1941, by the Rev. Norman Vincent Peal at the Marble Collegiate Church in New York City.

In the 1970s, she graduated from Ocean County College in Toms River, N.J., where she earned a 4.0 GPA and was on the President’s Honors List.

Throughout the years, Hammer appeared in

As tough as dealing with placing a loved one in a nursing home is, , learning they are facing eviction or discharge is even more troubling. A number of frantic questions go through your mind.

For what reason can they legally discharge a resident? Why would they want to? How can my family fight this?

Assessing a Nursing Home’s Decision Possibly your loved one requires more care than the facility can provide. Sometimes they or famiy members, are causing ongoing problems with the staff or other residents. Just not the right fit.

Sadly, however it can often be financially motivated. The resident is falling behind in paying the facility. Legally the nursing home cannot evict a resident because they run out of money. The exception to this rule is that the nursing home accepts Medicaid.

Not all of them do. In these cases, it may be legal for your loved one to be discharged. However, in order to do so, the nursing home cannot rightly evict the resident unless certain criteria are met.

Legitimate Reasons for Discharge from a Nursing Home The resident’s health has improved enough for them to live in a different type of facility The safety and health of others in the facility is clearly endangered The resident has failed, after reasonable and appropriate notice, to pay (or to apply for Medicaid or Medicare coverage for a stay at the facility.

Legal Protocol for Discharge Notification and Requirements.

A detailed summary of the resident’s mental and physical status A post-discharge plan of care to assist the resident in their new location must be provided There must be a 30 day written notification by the facility to the resident and family.

The Appeals Process If the discharge is deemed unfair, a family member or legal representative must contact the state long-term care ombudsman or other relevant state office at once. Also consider hiring an elder law attorney. Sometimes, a facility may transfer the patient to a hospital and refuse to readmit them. Some states have laws requiring the facility to hold their place for 30 days, during which time either Medicaid or private pay will bear the cost. A facility must provide a written care plan and ensure they have a safe place to go.

Because of the complexity of Medicaid and nursing home licensing rules and that facilities communicate among themselves, moving quickly with legal help is advised.. Best for everyone!

Cops ID suspect in Norcross hotel robbery

By Keith Farner

keith.farner @gwinnettdailypost.com

Gwinnett police said Friday they are looking for a man who they said robbed a Norcross hotel of $341 after he did work for the manager for $20 and a pizza.

Joshua Evontay Hall, 29, previously claimed to be homeless when the manager hired him to do some work around the hotel. The reported robbery was captured on security video on July 16 from a Comfort Inn and Suites on Peachtree Industrial Boulevard.

One image captured the suspect on top of the counter and reaching for cash from a drawer.

The same night he was hired, the man went to the counter in the lobby and asked to speak to the manager on the phone.

He demanded more money.

“The manager told him no, and the suspect hung up on him,” Cpl. Michele Pihera said in a news release. “After the clerk got her phone back, she retreated to the back room.”

Pihera added that anyone who has information about the crime, or Hall’s whereabouts, is asked to call Gwinnett detectives at 770-513-5300. They can also call Crime Stoppers at 404-577-8477, visit www.crimestoppersatlanta.org or send a text to 274637 if they prefer to remain anonymous.

Crime Stoppers is offering a reward of up to $2,000 for information that leads to an arrest and indictment. Tipsters should refer to case No. 16-065951 when providing information about the crime.

Councilman honored posthumously by Ga. Municipal Association Former Loganville City Councilman Chuck Bagley was recently posthumously honored by his colleagues and officials at the Georgia Municipal Association with a proclamation recognizing his community service.

Bagley passed away in May at the age of 75, and GMA Executive Director Lamar Norton joined city leaders in presenting the proclamation to the councilman’s wife, Fran, on Wednesday. Bagley was in the middle of his third term on the City Council when he died, according to city officials.

“This morning we are given the opportunity to say thank you to a very special family,” said Norton in a statement, while adding that the association’s board of directors “proposed a resolution to honor one of our very best.”

The proclamation cited Bagley’s military service, his involvement in American Legion Post 233 and at Loganville First United Methodist Church, his time on the City Council, as well as his one term on the Walton County Board of Commissioners and his past tenure of chairman of the Community in Schools Board of Directors.

He was also recognized for his work with GMA, including completing 240 of classroom training hours through the organization and the Association of County Commissioners of Georgia. Bagley was also appointed to GMA’s Municipal Training Board two years ago and helped create the Certificate of Dedication, according to Loganville officials.

Isakson, Perdue criticize ‘ransom’ payment to Iran U.S. Sens. Johnny Isakson and David Perdue, R-Ga., slammed President Barack Obama’s administration on Friday for what Republicans have called a ransom in exchange for prisoners held in Iran.

Political Notebook

Curt Yeomans The State Department revealed this past week that it held up a $400 million payment to Iran until after the prisoners were released. However, Secretary of State John Kerry explained the delay during a press briefing on Thursday as an effort to “retain maximum leverage,” according to a transcript of the briefing.

Johnny Isakson “Today’s admission by the State Department confirms what I’ve said all along: David Perdue The Obama administration will stop at nothing to defend its failed foreign policy agenda, going so far as to hide from the American people its dangerous dealings with Iran,” Isakson said in a statement on Thursday.

Meanwhile, Perdue said it went against longstanding national policy to not pay ransoms.

“Paying $400 million in hard cash only incentivizes Iran to take more hostages,” he said in a statement. “I am outraged that we cannot rely on our own President to tell us the truth.

This is another example in a long line of efforts by the Obama Administration to mislead the American people. What else are they hiding?”

Political Notebook appears in the Thursday and Sunday editions of the Gwinnett Daily Post.

Difficulty swallowing is not due to aging DEAR DR. ROACH: My mother, who is in her late 70s and who always has enjoyed eating meat, can no longer do so. She says that she just has a hard time getting it down. So sometimes she just chews on a piece of meat (e.g., chicken) and then spits it out. Her teeth are fine, so that’s not the issue. She just brushes it off as something that happens when you get older. Is she correct? Or is this a symptom of something else?

— J.L. ANSWER: Difficulty swallowing is NOT a common symptomatic problem with aging, and I take complaints about swallowing very seriously. What you are describing is worrisome.

Inability to swallow meat suggests that there may be a mechanical blockage in her esophagus. I wonder if she’s had problems in the past swallowing, which is why she isn’t even trying to swallow now. Often, people complain of food getting “stuck” in the throat or chest. If this is the case with her, I would recommend that she have an immediate and thorough workup.

Common causes include an esophageal stricture, web or ring. Eosinophilic esophagitis is another reason for swallowing difficulties; this is due to inflammation of the esophagus. However, the most worrisome cause is esophageal cancer, and I would waste no in time getting her evaluated by a gastroenterologist. A barium study or upper endoscopy may be necessary.

DEAR DR. ROACH: My husband recently was diagnosed with tinnitus. He also suffers from occasional vertigo. Is there any medical evidence that tinnitus can cause or contribute to episodes of vertigo?

— J.S. ANSWER: Tinnitus is a common problem, with 50 million sufferers in the U.S. alone, 12 million of whom say it affects their daily living. Vertigo also is a common problem. There are many causes of both vertigo and tinnitus, so it’s entirely possible that the two are unrelated.

However, the combination of the two suggests Meniere’s disease, also called endolymphatic hydrops.

This refers to the swelling of the organ of balance in the middle ear. In addition to tinnitus and intermittent vertigo, people with Meniere’s disease usually develop hearing loss, especially affecting lower pitches.

Hearing testing and specialized tests of the balance system may be necessary to diagnose Meniere’s disease.

There are many other causes for both vertigo and tinnitus, as I noted, so I hope your husband will be undergoing further evaluation to look for the cause (or causes), some of which may be serious.

The booklet on vertigo explains this disruptive condition in detail and outlines its treatment. Readers can order a copy by writing: Dr. Roach Book No. 801, 628 Virginia Drive, Orlando, FL 32803.

to devote to one religion,” Don Palsgaard wrote in a letter to the BOE. Jean Williams-Woodward told The Oconee Enterprise that families who want a religious education should attend private school or a private Bible study after school or on weekends.

Pettigrew said private school could be “financially encumbering” for some families. Other supporters have cited the influence of Christian doctrine in art, literature and law.

Pettigrew encouraged Board members to read a dissertation written by Philip Davidson, an assistant principal from Loganville, who studied legislation that protects religious expression.

John Dayton, a professor of education law at the University of Georgia, said the First Amendment’s establishment clause prohibits government agencies from favoring or disfavoring any particular religion.

Pettigrew said he agrees with that interpretation and that he supports the right for any religious organization to petition a school system for release-time education.

There are several dozen Christian Learning Centers across the state, but there are no learning centers catering to other faiths in any of those counties.

NEW YORK — Muhammad Ali’s 1974 WBC heavyweight championship boxing belt and a handwritten letter about his conversion to Islam are among items that will hit the auction block in September, in the biggest such sale since Ali’s death in June.

Heritage Auctions said on Friday that the auction will include the trunks Ali wore for his “Rumble in the Jungle” victory over George Foreman in Zaire in 1974. The gloves worn by Sonny Liston when he lost his title to Ali in 1964 are also among 79 lots in the Sept. 10 auction.

There were 2,440 cardiac arrests in public places over the study period, and 737 registered AEDs in the area. If all the AEDs had been accessible 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 451 of the cardiac arrests would have occurred within 100 yards of a usable device. But only 354 cardiac arrests were actually covered by an AED within 100 yards, as about 20 percent of the

time a nearby AED was inside a locked building, as reported in The Journal of the American College of Cardiology.

For cardiac arrests that happened overnight or on the weekend, 32 percent were near an inaccessible AED. Cardiac arrest is a very time-sensitive condition with a low survival rate, Chan said.

“The quicker they respond, the higher the likelihood that you will survive,” he said.

Betty Sanders is in a class of her own Class, like beauty, is in the eyes of the beholder. In my long years on this planet, I never met a man with more class than the late Gov. Carl Sanders. He was and remains my political hero.

As has been stated many times by me and others who grew up during the period, it was through the leadership of Sanders that Georgia was spared much of the racial strife that engulfed neighboring states in the late ’60s. He didn’t stand in the schoolhouse door Dick and proclaim, Yarbrough “No, not one.”

He didn’t close our public schools. It was not necessary for the federal government to bring in the National Guard to restore order. He was the right man at the right time who did things the right way.

Some of my fondest memories are of sitting with Sanders in his offices at Troutman Sanders and listening to him reminisce about Georgia politics in the days before social media and 24/7 news coverage. It was like hearing about the Wild West, a frat party and stand-up comedy all rolled into one.

The only problem was that after having me roaring with laughter, the governor would say firmly, “Now, remember, you can’t print that.” Dang. And they were such good stories, too.

I was privileged a couple of weeks ago to be invited to the 90th birthday party of former first lady Betty Sanders, a class act in her own right. Ms. Sanders and I share a few things in common: Our admiration of her husband, our passion for creating art and my column. (She loves to read it and I love to write it.)

The fete was notable for several reasons.

In addition to honoring one of Georgia’s great ladies, it was the coming-out party for the Woman Who Shares My Name. After eight long months of recuperating from not one but two broken legs, she was ready to party down. That’s her story. I suspect she came along to see how somebody like me was actually invited to such a gathering of the rich and famous, of which I am neither.

If I made it inside, she assumed that I might create a scene if a waiter offered me a broccoli canape on a toothpick. I get no respect.

The respect was all for Betty Sanders and fittingly so. Who else could draw a crowd of such distinguished guests on a sweltering summer evening in August? Gov. Nathan Deal was there. So was former Gov. Roy Barnes, former U.S. Rep. Buddy Darden, Vince Dooley, lawyers, judges, CEOs, legislators, a sprinkling of lizard-loafered lobbyists. Friends from Statesboro — Ms. Sanders’ hometown — and Augusta — Gov. Sanders’ home. And me. I was so puffed up to be rubbing elbows with that crowd that I might even have accepted a broccoli canape on a toothpick had one been offered.

I wouldn’t have eaten it but I wouldn’t have created a scene, either. It was that kind of night.

Ms. Sanders referred to herself in a recent newspaper article as “the paintingest first lady Georgia has ever seen.” She has long been one of our state’s finest artists. Her creativity seems to know no bounds. Her repertoire ranges from portraits to landscapes to still life to paintings accented with rocks and minerals such as amethyst, shell and quartz. The Sanders home in Atlanta is a virtual art gallery.

A graduate of the University of Georgia’s School of Art, Betty Sanders studied under the legendary Lamar Dodd. She is not only a prolific artist, she is a devoted promoter of art. It was through the sale and exhibition of her own art that the signature fountain in front of the governor’s mansion was funded and built. With her encouragement, Gov. Sanders established the Georgia Council for the Arts. Over the years, she has donated her artwork to schools and museums across the state. Ms. Sanders has been particularly active at Georgia Southern University in Statesboro, where the university has named its fine arts department for her.

Most of all, she has inspired rank amateurs like me to seek and find the joy and satisfaction that comes from creating a painting, although to compare her work with mine is to compare fine china to paper plates.

Betty Foy Sanders is a great lady who was married for 67 years to a great man. Both made Georgia better by being here. I’m glad she let me come to her birthday party.

Tangible tax reform for America Tax reform may not be everyone’s passion, but it’s one of those issues that seems to always be at the forefront of our national conversation — certainly in a presidential election year. Whether you’re a teenager receiving your first paycheck, a small business owner weighing the implications of hiring another employee, or the leader of a billion-dollar corporation determining where to build your next manufacturing plant, the tax code impacts you. Irrespective of your politics, it directly affects you and your family in one way or another.

As Americans, we have differing opinions about exactly how we should reform our tax code, but there is agreement that we need a simpler system that rewards hard work and encourages economic growth. So how do we get there? While some advocate nibbling around the edges of a broken and punitive income tax system, I want to replace it entirely with the FairTax (H.R. 25). This is a bill that I introduced to rip our destructive tax code out by its roots, dismantle the IRS as we know it, and implement a simple, one-time national retail sales tax on all new goods and services.

The FairTax repeals the payroll tax — the largest tax that 80 percent of American families pay. It repeals estate taxes, corporate taxes, and every single existing tax loophole, exemption and carve-out. By ending

Rob Woodall favoritism in the tax code we also end Washington’s ability to manipulate the American people through the tax code.

I believe in the FairTax as the foundation for a new era of jobs and prosperity in America.

While I don’t currently have the votes in Congress or the support of the President to enact the FairTax, I’m as confident as ever that the day will come. And if you have any doubt, you need look no further than today to see the impact that FairTax supporters across the country have had in shaping the tax reform conversation. Just last month, for example, House Republicans — under the leadership of Ways and Means Committee Chairman and FairTax co-sponsor Kevin Brady — released a tax plan with broad support that has the fingerprints of the FairTax all over it. From dismantling the IRS, permanently repealing the Alternative Minimum Tax and Estate Tax, drastically simplifying tax compliance for American families and more, many

core principles of the FairTax are now on the verge of becoming law.

The understanding that businesses don’t pay taxes but rather merely collect them in the form of higher costs to their consumers or lower wages to their employees is a key tenet of the FairTax, and I’m happy to say the House tax reform plan takes an immediate step towards relieving this burden. Small businesses facing a rate as high as 44.6 percent today would see a reduction to 25 percent under the plan, and the full expensing of capital investments would be the norm. The plan ends America’s excessively high, job-killing corporate tax rate and reduces it to 20 percent. I’d certainly prefer a rate of zero so that we could be competitive for even more jobs, but I’m more than willing to move America in the right direction as much as I can today — and then I will come back tomorrow and push for more.

There is no good reason why America should rank last among the world’s developed nations in tax competitiveness, but yet that’s where we stand.

While frustrating, America’s plight is far from hopeless. We put ourselves in this punitive position by way of a flawed, misguided tax code, and we can dig ourselves out of this hole by crafting reforms that leverage the American people’s entrepreneurial spirit and work ethic. For

too long we have pushed businesses away from our shores; it’s time we welcome them instead. That’s why the House tax reform plan also removes the additional tax penalty associated with American businesses repatriating foreign profits to the United States. Simple, common sense measures such as these will help to unleash the American economic engine, and ultimately benefit everyone on the economic ladder.

We have a tremendous opportunity to accomplish pro-growth tax reform unlike anything we’ve seen in decades, and I couldn’t be prouder of the partnership that has gotten us to this point. I’m excited about what is happening in Washington and all across the country because it reaffirms that the American people are absolutely still in charge. Whether tax reform, national security, or myriad other issues, we as a people are involved; we’re engaging our elected leaders as well as our neighbors; and we’re making a difference in the kind of policies coming out of Washington.

An opportunity every student deserves Many students recently went back to school with unrestrained excitement, knowing that education provides boundless potential to make their dreams a reality. Parents watched their kids board school busses, entrusting the future success of their children, that which is most precious to them, to dedicated educators and administrators.

However, aspirations of limitless possibility do not reach all of Georgia’s children.

Too many students, outside of Gwinnett County, take their seats daily in schools plagued by years of underachievement and failing performance for no other reason than the zip codes in which they were born.

We have outstanding, high performing schools in Gwinnett. However, at failing schools in other parts of Georgia, annual reports of abysmal test scores, declining student achievement, and poor graduation rates are painfully evident to students, their parents, and their communities. Yet these children are trapped, forced to endure the inadequacies of a failing school, without the financial means or institutional options to choose another path.

As the son of a career public school teacher, I am all too familiar with the long hours, demanding tasks, and devoted service which our educators give daily. Teachers also deserve to work in schools free from the onerous burden of failing standards. Initiatives similar to the Opportunity School District have had clear success in other states.

Smyrna chemical spill concerns residents By emily selBy

GPA News Network

SMYRNA — The waters may be clearing in a Smyrna neighborhood, but residents are still concerned after a 2,300-gallon chemical spill flowed through a local creek late Friday night and into Saturday morning.

A small stream running through the Kenwood neighborhood turned white after an automotive cleaning solvent entered the creek from Apollo Technologies, a specialty chemical packaging company, beginning at about 7:30 p.m. Friday night.

Many of those who saw the creek on the first day said the water looked like milk and had a pungent odor.

Ken Williams has lived in the neighborhood for 15 years and said he woke Saturday morning thinking he was smelling gas.

“I walked outside, and I was just hit with it,” he said, adding that he and his wife didn’t want to stay outside in the odor.

Williams said while the creek has been polluted in the past, this spill was the “worst it has ever been.”

Denell Boyd, spokesperson for the Cobb Fire Department, said the chemical entered the creek from Apollo Technologies on South Cobb Industrial Boulevard and traveled downstream for three-quarters of a mile before it was stopped.

Downstream from the creek is a lake, and Jason Booth, on-scene coordinator for the Environmental Protection Agency Region 4, said a dam of sandbags and dirt was constructed before the lake on Highland Parkway to prevent further contamination.

However, Booth explained that though the solution was stopped, it could still have a long-lasting impact.

“Unlike gasoline or diesel that floats on the top of the surface, this stuff is miscible,

meaning it mixes throughout all the water compounds,” he said. “With gasoline, you can just vacuum up what is floating on the top, but with this, you have to suck it all up.”

According to Boyd, Apollo contracted a vacuum company to clean up the substance at about 5 p.m.

Saturday. The company’s website states they had six vacuum tankers and had collected 280,000 gallons of liquid for remediation.

Yet the chemical could remain in the soil and continue to pollute the water, and Booth said soil samples will be taken to determine if digging or dredging is required to continue the clean-up.

The pollution has had an impact on the environment of the creek, and Booth said initial studies conducted

by Georgia Fisheries and Wildlife determined that 100 animals have died.

Williams said he had earthworms in his yard that had died and were being eaten by birds.

Harmony Brook Hefer, who moved to the neighborhood last year, has a home directly overlooking the creek.

“It’s kind of heartbreaking

because you wonder what will happen beyond just this initial impact,” she said.

“When I came out and I saw it, I just started sobbing.”

Hefer said the smell has also been irritating and has caused headaches, adding that it is similar to the smell of paint.

Dana Mcpherson, a fiveyear resident of the neighborhood, said he was alerted to the spill at about 2 a.m.

Saturday morning when a neighbor told him the creek was white.

That morning, Mcpherson followed the creek upstream to find the source of the pollutant. After seeing the white chemical coming through a storm drain, he said he tracked the chemical to Apollo Technologies.

“From the driveway, you could see all this white stuff running down the hill,” he said. “I witnessed (a worker) hosing it down into the storm drain.”

Mcpherson then spoke with supervisors who called emergency services.

“Someone told (the worker) to do that,” he said.

Geoff Ladue, chief operating officer of PLZ, a parent company that acquired Apollo Technologies in

December 2015, said at a press conference Monday the leak was first noticed by employees at about 8 a.m.

Saturday morning. Surveillance cameras revealed the leak had begun Friday night from a gasket failure on a

mixing tank.

“The tank holding the solvent is now permanently out of service and will never be used again,” Ladue said, adding that the company has hired an engineer to come inspect all tanks in the facility and the design of the mixing room to ensure a leak does not happen again.

Production operations were suspended at the facility on Monday.

With regards to the worker noticed by Mcpherson, Ladue said his actions were “not normal operating procedures” and that the company is investigating the situation.

“Our No. 1 priority is to clean up this pollution and the creek,” he said. “We have already seen a tremendous improvement within 24 hours … and we will do this for as long as it takes to get the creek clean.”

On Friday, Long said police were called to the scene just after 8 p.m., and found Reed, who had died from a gunshot wound outside building 8.

“A resident in the area overheard two shots, looked out the window and saw a person lying on the ground and some other persons around them,” Long said. “Those other persons got in a red vehicle and fled the area.

“The witness called 911 and described what they were watching, what they were seeing. They described the red vehicle and some characters on the tag.”

Police took the five suspects, whose car matched the description of the vehicle seen fleeing the scene, into custody during a traffic stop at Old Norcross Road and Breckinridge Boulevard.

Olympic Band

•From Page 1A around the state and country to promote the games.

Johnson said they are the legacy of the band.

“When we held a reunion (last month), we heard from a number of students in there about how it changed their lives,” he said. “They got an opportunity that they otherwise wouldn’t have gotten to do, made friends that they otherwise wouldn’t have gotten to know. A handful of them became band directors.

“It’s one of those things where you never know what’s going to touch someone, and there are a lot of people that it touched in a very special way.”

The road to 1996 Johnson recalled being in Underground Atlanta in 1990 on the morning when International Olympic Committee officials announced Atlanta had been awarded the centennial games.

Officials were showing a live feed of the announcement at Underground and a large crowd gathered to hear the news.

“It was as crazy as I’ve ever seen any place go because it was expected that it was going to be Greece (home of the ancient and 1896 games), and so it was a big shockers,” he said. “We thought we were maybe in second place with a chance for first, but it was like the one and half or two years that the team worked on the bid paid off.”

And, while the Centennial Olympic Band’s existence culminated in the closing ceremonies in July 1996, Johnson said there are several events the band took part in during the four years leading up to the games.

For starters, it was on

of approval.

“We love this,” said Barry Johnson, who has lived in Braselton with his wife, Linda, for 24 years.

His wife added: “We love outdoor concerts and we travel all the time to outdoor concerts in Franklin, N.C. almost every other weekend … (so) this is nice.”

Theresa Compton and her family, including husband Matt and the sons Eliot and Lincoln, are relatively new to the city by comparison to the Johnsons.

They will mark one year as Braselton residents in September, but Theresa Compton also gave the new park high marks.

“Any time there’s food and something for the kids to do, we’re going to be here, plus the Town Green is beautiful,” she said. “We love that (Braselton) is like a small town, but it’s growing and still has all of that small town charm.”

hand when the Olympic flag arrived in Savannah in 1992, straight from that year’s summer games in Barcelona, and participated in the fanfare that surrounded its arrival.

“They called it the Flag Arrival Ceremony,” Johnson said. “It was on the docks and they had one of those tall ships bring it over from Barcelona and so there was a big ceremony and a parade in Savannah that we participated in.”

Bill Clinton became president in 1993, participating in his inauguration parade. A photo of the band marching past the presidential viewing stands is on display in the Gwinnett Environmental and Heritage Center’s 1996 Summer Olympics exhibit, which closes today.

The band also participated in the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade in 1995.

The band also participated in several parades and events around Atlanta.

That included one Martin Luther King Jr. Holiday parade where it was so cold that the band had to sing its musical selections rather than play them.

“It was like 14 degrees,” Johnson said. “It wasn’t bad when the wind was blocked, but when we turned up Peachtree Street, it was coming like 20 mph and all of the instruments froze up. The brass and even the woodwind instruments froze, and you couldn’t play all of the notes. They just started singing.”

Bumps in the road There was one point where he band almost fell apart before the games began.

Johnson said there had been some disagreements between band leaders and organizers of the closing ceremonies that led to what almost became an insurmountable impasse.

He explained organizers wanted the band to perform in a skit during the ceremonies that involved chasing a comedian in a golf cart around the stadium, which caused the grief.

“It was a bit of a silly thing that they did,” he said. “We just didn’t think it was the right thing for the Olympic Band to do and so they got a drum and bugle corps to do that, and then

there really wasn’t a place for the Olympic Band. So, we just stepped down and said ‘If you want to keep doing it, you can get somebody else to do it or just fold the organization.

“In a month, or a month and a half they called back and said, ‘No, we’ll find another place for you that is more appropriate and we still want you to run the band,’ and we made up.”

Heralding the arrival of the games The band had a very limited involvement in the opening ceremonies, but its trumpet section played a key role in that event.

Standing in a line along the top of the stadium, 100 performers from the band played herald trumpets along with the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra, which was conducted by John Williams.

“Then, we had the rest of the band do a flag routine in the middle of the field during one segment of the opening ceremonies,” Johnson said. “We all had tall flags, and that’s right before Bill Clinton came on the field (to welcome the games).”

One final performance The band’s big performance of the two weeks that the Olympics was taking place was the closing ceremonies.

This was what four years of work and promoting the games led to for its members, and the band’s opportunity to show what it had been put together for. Although there was still the two weeks of the Paralympics to be held in Atlanta, the band would not be a part of that because its members had to return to school.

So, while the athletes were pursuing dreams of gold, the band was rehearsing at Grady High School for its big performance.

Members had to learn how to march without the familiar markings of a football field not only because it was not a football stadium, but because the floor of the stadium was going to be covered during the closing ceremonies.

Johnson said they put together a show that was themed to pay tribute to the state and the Olympic movement.

“We had a medley of

Georgia and Olympic songs that’s on YouTube now,” Johnson said. “Chris Moore, who was one of the assistant band directors, did a special arrangement for us. We had a little bit of ‘Georgia on My Mind’ and we had several of the Olympic themes in it as well, and then we had a big drum piece that we used to get on the field with.

“And then we finished the performance the follow up to the formal performance, we marched off to a piece called ‘Pinnacle,’ and it was written for the Olympic Band and we performed it a number of times over the four years.

Bill Locklear had written it for us … That was the last piece that we ever played together.”

Afterward, Johnson said the bus ride back home from the ceremonies was “bittersweet” for band leaders and members because they had to say their goodbyes until reunions came around.

But, he still recalls that final show with pride.

“It was kind of like putting an exclamation point on the experience,” he said.

This really is the Reuters

spirit of the Games,” he said.

Rio organizers struggled with transportation, security, empty stands and a shortage of funds as Brazil was gripped by its worst recession since the 1930s, with political turmoil further hampering preparations.

Rio won the right to host the Games in 2009 amid a booming economy but due to a severe economic crisis over the past few years organizers had to get advance payments from the IOC while also asking for public funds to complete preparations.

Bach defended the IOC’s choice of Rio saying it would have again chosen the Brazilian city because the Olympics were staged “in the middle of reality.”

“I think this is a really iconic Games. It is also Games in the middle of reality. They were not organized in a bubble. They were organized in a city where there are social problems, social divides, where real life continued and I think it was very good for everybody.

“To be close to reality and not to have it in a bubble for 16 days, the

Games somehow being isolated. To be in the middle of it, to see reality and by seeing this to put sport into perspective.”

Organizers, who had pledged Rio would be the safest city in the world during the Olympics, repeatedly had to apologize for incidents of crime involving athletes, media or visitors.

Critics had said the Games were the last thing Brazil needed, with money better spent on social welfare projects instead.

An ongoing political crisis with suspended

President Dilma Rousseff facing an impeachment trial and interim President Michel Temer being deeply unpopular, only added to the Games’ problems.

“The IOC has shown that it is possible to organize Olympic Games also in countries which are not at the top of the GDP (gross domestic product) ranking,” Bach said. “It has shown great solidarity and seen great solidarity.

“We have shown that we are ready to face social reality and to address this.”

Trump tours flooded Louisiana, Obama to visit next week

By Bryn Stole Reuters

BATON ROUGE, La. — U.S. Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump toured flood-battered Louisiana on Friday, shrugging off the Democratic state governor’s plea for politicians not to stop in areas affected by deadly rains.

President Barack Obama said he was also eager for a firsthand look at the damage done by floods that damaged more than 40,000 homes and killed at least 13 people, announcing plans to visit Baton Rouge on Tuesday.

Obama’s travel requires a massive retinue of Secret Service agents and assistance from local and state law enforcement officials, so the White House usually waits to visit disaster zones to avoid tying up police and emergency resources needed elsewhere.

On Friday, Trump’s motorcade drove past piles of possessions and building materials that had been ripped out of flooded homes en route to Greenwell Springs Baptist Church in a hard-hit portion of East Baton Rouge Parish.

“You’re going to be fine,” Trump told several dozen supporters gathered outside, many asking for autographs and selfies.

The deluge that dumped more than 2-1/2 feet on parts of Louisiana has been described as the worst U.S. disaster since Superstorm Sandy in 2012.

Trump told reporters he came to help out, joined by vice presidential running mate, Indiana Gov. Mike Pence, in a visit to a state that is typically a Repub-

Louisiana Gov. John Bel Edwards’ office, however, had said Trump did not call to discuss plans.

“We welcome him to (Louisiana), but not for a photo op,” the governor’s office said in a statement, urging Trump to volunteer or make “a sizable donation.”

Trump told reporters he believed Obama should have cut short a vacation on Martha’s Vineyard in New England to visit the area of flood devastation.

cut short a vacation on Martha’s Vineyard in New England to visit the area of flood devastation.

Some Louisianans and others, using the hashtag #wheresobama and #laflood on Twitter, had urged Obama to visit, and Baton Rouge’s newspaper, The Advocate, voiced a similar view in an editorial published on Wednesday.

Obama’s vacation is due to end today. The White House said the president’s advisers had determined, in consultation with state officials, that Tuesday was an appropriate time to visit.

Edna Hammer With great sadness we announce the passing of our beloved Mom, Edna Earl Hammer. Mom passed peacefully with her daughters by her bedside at 96 years of age. Edna was born February 16, 1920 in Austin, Texas, daughter of Ellis E. Powell and Annie Emma Powell.

Edna is preceded in death by her late husband, Vernon Hammer.

Edna and Vernon were married on December 14, 1941 by the Reverend Norman Vincent Peal at The Marble Collegiate Church in New York City, NY. Mom started her “Show Biz” career at the age of 16 at the Casa Manana, Ft. Worth, Texas. After traveling the USA performing with the Billy Rose Dance Troupe.

the impact that his travel has on first responders and wants to ensure that his presence does not interfere with ongoing recovery efforts,” the White House said in a statement.

Obama planned to visit Baton Rouge, the state’s capital city, which saw wide flooding. The White House said he would talk to local officials about what more the federal government can do to assist in the recovery.

The president has declared much of the state a federal disaster, freeing up emergency resources.

He has been receiving updates from U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson

and Federal Emergency Management Agency Administrator Craig Fugate, who both have visited Louisiana.

In 2005, then-President George W. Bush, a Republican, drew criticism for flying over extensively damaged New Orleans and then giving a speech in the still-flooded city following Hurricane Katrina.

Some 86,500 people have already filed for federal aid following the historic levels of rainfall. The state expected 4,000 would still need refuge in shelters on Friday night. Entire neighborhoods must now contend with flood-hit homes.

“We’re talking about an awful lot of people, which is why we are trying to turn on the assistance as soon as possible,” Edwards said at a news conference on Friday afternoon, offering details on temporary housing.

He spoke earlier in the day with Trump’s Democratic rival in the Nov. 8 election, Hillary Clinton, she said on social media.

“My heart breaks for Louisiana, and right now, the relief effort can’t afford any distractions,” she said on Facebook, directing people to support organizations providing assistance.

Yet Kellie Michelli, who lost her home in the flood and was also at the church to pick up food with her family, beamed as she showed off an autograph on a Trump hat from an earlier rally in Baton Rouge.

“He took time out of his busy schedule to come here,” Michelli said. “I don’t care if he gives a nickel, he showed he cared by coming here.”

Mom decided to further her education in the late 70’s. She graduated Ocean County College, Toms River, NJ with a 4.0 and was on the President’s Honors List.

Mom leaves her daughters, Gail Cook of Dawsonville, GA and Ellen Zimmerman of Loganville, GA, son in laws, Bob Cook and Brad Zimmerman, her four grandchildren, Kimberly E. Gassner, Scott R.V.

Double homicide victim’s body found hanging in closet

BY ERIKA WELLS

Jamie Arvia could not travel to An Illinois woman Gwinnett wants to know why her County to brother was found dead attend the with his hands bound, prelimiRickey Earl hanging in a closet in a nary hearTaylor one-bedroom apartment in ing Friday Norcross in early August. for Rickey Earl Taylor, And she cannot wrap 28. Taylor is accused of her mind around why her torturing and killing James mother’s lifeless body was Sramek, 29, and Nicola discovered — in that same Sramek, 61, on Thursday, home — covered in sheets. Aug. 4.

Arvia said she just lives too far away and had been in the dark about the investigation.

“I saw the bodies and talked to the medical examiner; the damage was done over hours,” she said.

“I saw the hole dug into my mother’s bone. How could one person do this?”

Few news details that unfolded in the Gwinnett courtroom showed how Taylor and the victims were linked before the

crime. Police officials testified as they try to piece together what happened that Thursday, the suspected day of the murders at the Barrington Hills apartments near Peachtree Industrial Boulevard.

During testimony, Detective D.M. Brucz said police found Taylor on Sunday, Aug. 7, less than a mile away at a home on Concepts 21 Drive. Taylor reportedly had the son’s car keys and cellphone and the mother’s cellphone and a few of her belongings.

That Sunday, police had responded to a welfare check at Barrington Hills, where the Srameks lived.

Their family and friends had not heard from them in days, which was unusual.

When police arrived, they found the bodies and PY items including a pair of .o o A needle-nose pliers and s h t a knife Taylor allegedly n o used on the victims.

murders.

The law enforcement’s evidence processors have been overwhelmed by the amount of fingerprints found at the scene, Brucz said on the stand.

On Friday afternoon, while still in Illinois, Arvia said she does not believe Taylor pulled off the murders by himself — if at all.

She remembers seeing stab marks covering her brother’s body and his nose and jaw were broken — among other gruesome injuries — after she was notified and traveled to Georgia.

“This happened for a reason,” an upset Arvia said. “This is not just some random thing. This was not a robbery. Someone went in at night. …

But unless someone was trying to make a statement, why hang them?

And with what — ropes?

Chain?”

She believes whoever entered the apartment was looking for something specific that they could not get their hands on.

Following his arrest, Taylor reportedly said he knew James Sramek, and they had met at the A1 convenience store on Fox Hill Drive near the Srameks’ apartment complex. The suspect allegedly asked James Sramek to connect him with someone who had meth.

Arvia said the store has been a popular spot for drug transactions for years and that her brother probably agreed to score some for Taylor but probably could not come through.

Initially, Taylor was arrested for his possible involvement in separate robberies that had recently

happened in the area.

That is when investigators discovered he might be linked to the double homicide. The descriptions given following the robberies matched Taylor, Brucz said.

Taylor faces charges including murder, armed robbery and false imprisonment in addition to several others from the crimes that happened within walking distance of the Srameks’ home.

Leading up to the murder, he reportedly had been walking around with a silver .38 caliber handgun — seen during those robberies — and a backpack.

Defense Attorney Tom Clegg confirmed with Brucz that Taylor never fired the weapon and no one saw him enter the Srameks’ apartment.

Brucz said Taylor had a physical address but “stayed in the woods periodically” and was “kind of a wanderer.”

For now, the police are still combing through evidence in the case involving who Washington called a “heinous criminal,” that “exhibited the darkest side of humanity.”

Meanwhile, as Arvia grieves, she has decided to find out what happened to her mother and brother on her own. Shortly after the bodies were discovered, she visited places her brother frequented and spoke with his friends.

“None of this makes any sense,” Arvia said. “I don’t think it was (Taylor). The police would have to prove that to me. Set up the scene to convince me.”

The case will move forward, but a trial date has not yet been set.

We don’t just fill our days with networking events and ribbon cuttings, we also celebrate Gwinnett’s thriving small business community.

Lanier Education Foundation hands out more than $45K

BY KEITH FARNER

keith.farner @gwinnettdailypost.com

About 460 teachers across the Lanier cluster recently received a boost to start the school year.

The Lanier Education Foundation handed out more than $45,000 across

37 grants to teachers and administrators at Lanier High, Lanier Middle, Sugar Hill Elementary, Sycamore Elementary and White Oak Elementary.

Cluster principals named the current foundation president, Amy Ballar, the recipient of the Lanier Community Spirit Award.

Ballar has been with the foundation since 2014.

The majority of the grants awarded focus on endeavors related to project-based learning and the cluster’s highly regarded STEM program.

Three cluster-wide grants were presented to principals Taffeta Connery,

Reuben Gresham, Todd Hamilton, Jean LoethenPayne and Crystal Thompson: the Lanier Leadership Conference, the Half-Hour Heroes School-Based Mentoring Program and the Project Based Vertical

Team.

The grants were funded by profits from the foundation’s two fundraisers during the 2015-16 school year, Tannery on the Green, held at the Sugar Hill Golf Club, and the Hook‘em

and Hold‘em Casino Night which was held at Tannery Row Ale House.

The foundation has given more than $200,000 to the cluster schools in the last five years in grants and scholarships.

CORKY KELL CLASSIC

BREAKTHROUGH Brookwood tops North for first Classic win since ’10

By Will Hammock

will.hammock@gwinnettdailypost.com

ATLANTA — Brookwood football’s one-time domination at the Georgia Dome had faded in recent seasons.

The Broncos not only took a fivegame Corky Kell Classic losing streak into Saturday’s showdown with North Gwinnett, but they entered on the heels of 35-, 31- and 21-point losses the past three years in the annual season-opening showcase.

They put a little luster back on their reputation Saturday, though.

Brookwood ran the ball effectively — Dante Black had 192 rushing yards against his former team — and the defense made key plays late to seal a 3723 victory over North. It was the first Corky Kell win for the Broncos since 2010, the year they last won state, and also North head coach Bob Sphire’s first loss to Brookwood in seven alltime games. It was the Broncos’ first win over North since 2003.

“Like I told the team, we got together as a coaching staff in the beginning of January and made goals for this team,” second-year Brookwood head coach Philip Jones said. “Goal No. 1 is to be the best practice team in the state. That was a process goal. Goal No. 2 was to win the first Dome game because we haven’t done that since 2010. We wanted to start the season off on a good foot, get a win under our belts and start earning that respect back.

“It wasn’t easy, it wasn’t pretty and North Gwinnett’s a heck of a football team, but we pulled it out.”

Brookwood answered an early North touchdown and led throughout, taking a 21-10 lead into halftime. The advantage was cut to 27-23 in the second half, but some key Brookwood defensive plays sealed the win. Kendall Williamson’s 53-yard interception return for a score was the clincher with 3:46 left in the fourth quarter.

Leonard Warner and Nick Prince also had interceptions of North quarterback Cade Fortin, who was 16 of 33 passing for 213 yards and two TDs. “We kind of settled down a little bit (on defense),” Jones said. “We gave up two big (passing TDs) there in the third quarter. The ground was slipping under our feet. But our guys bowed their necks and battled back.”

To break its Corky Kell streak, Brookwood turned back to the ground game, one of its traditional strengths.

It rushed for 213 yards, highlighted by Black’s 192 yards on 34 carries. He had a pair of touchdown runs in the second

ATLANTA — Colquitt County’s football team still has a chance to match Parkview’s three straight state titles in Georgia’s largest classification. The Panthers’ winning streak in the highest class is safe, though.

Mill Creek made sure of that Saturday night in the Corky Kell Classic, halting two-time defending state champion Colquitt’s 30-game winning streak with a 34-27 victory at the Georgia Dome. The result not only protected Parkview’s 46-game winning streak from 2000-03, it also gave the Hawks a measure of revenge for last year’s loss

ATLANTA — After returning a kickoff for a touchdown in last year’s Corky Kell Classic win over Valdosta, Norcross senior Jacobe Burrell set his sights on a repeat performance Saturday against Walton in the Georgia Dome.

He didn’t wait long to deliver to his teammates who were asking for another big play. Burrell took the opening kickoff back for a 79-yard touchdown on Saturday as the Blue Devils never looked back in a 46-14 rout of Walton “I went on the field with the same mentality as last

Lions’ Graham holds camp at alma mater

By Colin Hubbard Staff Correspondent

SUWANEE — When Zach Graham played basketball at Peachtree Ridge High School, there weren’t any alumni that could give back to him or his teammates.

That was because Graham was a part of the first-ever class that attended the school when it opened its doors in 2003.

So Graham made it a promise to one day return to the school that he started his career at and give back if he ever made it as a professional.

And after playing four years of college basketball at Ole Miss and six years of professional basketball, Graham returned to Peachtree Ridge to host his very own skills camp for the Lions’ basketball team.

“My first year here we had no upperclassmen who had already came up through the school to come back and tell us about their experiences in high school, college and professionally,” Graham said. “For me, I wanted to be that figure to come back and to give back.”

Graham has played in several countries around the world including Venezuela, the Philippines, Turkey, Mexico, Puerto Rico and others including a one-year stint in the NBA D-league.

And along the way, Graham has made a lot of connec-

tions that have helped him in more ways that he could ever ask for.

“I think the most important thing about that is just having good relationships with people,” Graham said.

“You never know if somebody that you’re playing with one year, you might run into them four years later. A coach that’s coaching against you, if you have a good game against them, and show good character to him that you’re a good guy and a good player, that could be an opportunity for you down the road.”

Graham has also seen a lot of familiar faces all over the world which has also taught him a valuable lesson about the game of basketball.

“The thing that I’ve learned about basketball is that it’s such a small world,” Graham said. “It’s to the point now where when I

go overseas my opponent either has players that I’ve played against or that I’ve played with or that have played with some of my friends.

Four-time NBA All-Star and former Atlanta Hawks center Al Horford made a special appearance to Graham’s camp to speak with the kids about his journey from when he was in high school until now. Horford, now with the Boston Celtics first met Graham when the Hawks signed him for a short period of time in 2011.

“I’m so appreciative of Al for coming out, more than he knows probably,” Graham said. “First because of who he is. He’s the type of guy that doesn’t look at himself as a superstar because he’s so humble.

For him to take 30 minutes out of his busy schedule to come here and talk to these kids, that 30 minutes could

have just changed one of these kids’ lives.”

“This might have been Graham’s first time hosting a camp at Peachtree Ridge, but it’s definitely something that he plans on doing again next year.

“This is definitely something that is going to continue to grow,” Graham said. “This is a skills camp, but it’s also a movement.

This is where I came from.

Just giving back from where you come from. That’s what it’s all about and I’m blessed to be in the position to do that.”

Lions Sophomore Paul Hosey who attended Graham’s camp really enjoyed the experience of Graham’s camp as well.

“I thought that I was a really nice experience in meeting professional players and getting to know what life is like for them,” Hosey said. “They have a lot of experience and just taught me to have fun and to keep practicing.”

Graham still has a lot of goals that he wants to achieve before he calls it a career, but he’s focused on taking it one day at a time.

“The next chapter for me is going out to Venezuela and trying to get another championship out there,” Graham said. I definitely want to get back into the NBA. That’s my ultimate goal but I’m just taking it one day at a time. That’s all I can do.”

Brazil claim soccer gold for first time Reuters RIO DE JANEIRO — Neymar shed tears of joy after delivering Brazil’s first men’s football gold medal with the winning penalty in a 5-4 shootout triumph over Germany after a thrilling final ended in a draw following extra-time on Saturday.

Brazil had lost the Olympic final three times — in 1984, 1988 and 2012 — but they finally got the gold they craved on a dramatic night at the Maracana stadium in which they outplayed the Germans but were saved three times by the woodwork.

Neymar had put the hosts ahead with a superb free kick after 27 minutes but Germany captain Maximilian Meyer equalised just before the hour to take the game into the extra period at 1-1.

There were no more goals so the match went to penalties with Nils Petersen missing Germany’s fifth spot kick leaving Neymar, who appeared to injure himself late in the game, to limp up and coolly score from the spot to send the capacity crowd wild.

The victory gave Brazil a measure of revenge for their humiliating 7-1 defeat by eventual World Cup winners Germany in the semifinals on home soil in 2014 — a game the frustrated Neymar had to watch from the sidelines due to injury.

“Yesterday we were criticised,” the 24-year-old Barcelona forward said in reference to Brazil’s poor start to the Olympic tournament in which the home side drew 0-0 with South Africa and Iraq. “We have replied with good football.”

Kim up 4 in Wyndham, but Furyk lurks The Sports Xchange GREENSBORO, N.C. — Jim Furyk might need another PGA Tour record to catch Si Woo Kim in the Wyndham Championship.

Kim shot 6-under-par 64 to stretch his lead to four strokes after the third round on Saturday at Sedgefield Country Club, but Furyk is among the golfers in pursuit.

Furyk, who is five strokes back in a tie for third, will be closely watched in Sunday’s final round because two weeks ago in his most-recent tournament he notched a 58 for the lowest round in PGA Tour history in the last round of the Travelers Championship.

He said he feels comfortable this week, too.

“I like to play golf courses that I feel suit my game, that I’m comfortable on, that I enjoy playing,” said Furyk, who shot 67 in round three.

“I think this is a fun golf course to play.”

Although fans have yelled out “58” at Furyk this week, he said that record isn’t consuming him.

“It’s not driving me crazy,” he said. “It happened and in my mind when I’m out there playing in a tournament, it happened (and) it’s over with.”

Kim, a 21-year-old South Korean, wasn’t quite as crisp as a day earlier when he shot a course-record 60, but he held or shared the lead the entire third round.

“First time (in) final group,” Kim said. “Same (thing) trying to win. …

I think tomorrow is much pressure, but I’m just trying to keep the putter, keep confidence.”

With a birdie on the last hole, he moved to 18-under 192 after 54 holes.

Rafa Cabrera Bello of Spain moved up to second place with a 65, while Furyk (67), Kevin Na (67) and Luke Donald (64) are in a tie for third.

“There is damage to be done,” Cabrera Bello said of the final round.

“The greens are brilliant.

You play good and give yourselves chances.”

Furyk eagled the par-5 15th hole to move to 14-under and followed that with a birdie on the next hole, but he had bogeys on the last two holes. He missed the fairway off the tee each time.

“I’m disappointed with the two bogeys,” he said.

“Overall, still in good position with the tournament.”

Na posted five consecutive birdies through No. 10 to pull even at 15-under, but Kim responded with birdies on Nos. 13 and 15.

Na was alone in second place, two strokes back, before his double-bogey 6 on No. 18, combined with Kim’s final birdie pushed him down the leaderboard.

Donald had his best round of the tournament to move up the board.

“My iron play has been very strong this week,” Donald said. “I’ve given myself a lot of opportunities for birdie, hitting it within 10-15 feet on a lot of holes.”

Brandt Snedeker, the 2007 champion in Greensboro when the tournament was played at nearby Forest Oaks Country Club, was on the leaderboard again. He took a double-bogey 5 on No. 7 but finished at 65 and was six shots back in a tie for sixth with Billy Horschel (64), Hideki Matsuyama (68) of Japan and Graeme McDowell (64) of Northern Ireland.

Friday’s round was defined by a couple of candidates to shot sub-60, and the tournament’s 2013 champion, Patrick Reed, joined that list on Saturday when he posted six birdies in a row for a front-nine 29. He ended up with 64 and was nine stroke down in a tie for 18th.

“I just didn’t really hit many great golf shots on

the back nine,” Reed said. “… So that’s just something I need to do is I need to stop having these great nine-hole rounds.”

Scott Langley set the tone in the third round with an early 62 that left him seven shots back in a tie for 10th.

Still, Langley has quite a bit of work to do as he entered the week No. 175 in FedEx Cup point standings, and only the top 125 qualify for the playoff opener next week, the Barclays at Bethpage Black.

Notes: Lucas Glover, who was putting for a 59 on the final hole of Friday’s second round and ended up with a threeputt bogey, birdied the first hole Saturday but shot 73 and was tied for 33rd. … Shawn Stefani and Peter Malnati aced the 16th hole during the third round. Stefani used a 9-iron. Malnati tossed his 8-iron in the air when the ball rolled in. … Patrick Reed, the 2013 champion here, is the tournament’s mostrecent winner still in the field.

United States reclaim men’s 4x400m title LaShawn Merritt ran a blistering anchor leg to return the men’s 4x400m title to the United States, and win his third Olympic gold medal, in the final athletics event of the Rio Games on Saturday.

The Americans have never gone more than two Games without winning the men’s one-lap relay and after being upset by the Bahamas in London four years ago, were determined to secure the title for a record 17th time.

Arman Hall, Tony McQuay and Gil Roberts combined to give Merritt a two metre lead and the former 400m Olympic and world champion extended that to seven to win in 2 minutes, 57.30 seconds.

Javon Francis stormed down the final straight to give Jamaica silver in 2:58.16, while the Bahamas ran 2:58.49 to pip Belgium for bronze.

•From Page 1B quarter that pushed the lead to 21-10.

He gained 144 yards on 19 carries in the first half, but North bottled him up a little better in the second half.

“I felt like our offensive line did a great job today and I feel like I did my part, too,” said Black, who transferred from North to Brookwood in the offseason.

Brookwood also had success in the passing game with Angelo DiSpigna completing 12 of 22 passes for 196 yards, including a 54yard TD strike to Matthew Hill in the first quarter. He also found Williamson for a 41-yard reception and hit tight end Chris Cotter three times for 41 yards.

But the difference was the running game, where the Broncos struggled at times last year in a 4-6 season.

“That’s one of those games where you probably flip three or four plays that happened and the score is reversed,” Sphire said.

“Give (Brookwood) credit.

They ran the ball against us really well. I was hoping they wouldn’t be able to run the ball against us like they did. And they took care of

year,” Burrell said. “Everybody wanted me to do it again and the ball hit my hands and I was just like, ‘I’ve just got to go.’ My mind told me to get the ball and go, I’m gonna go.”

Norcross took a 33-0 lead into the half. After the big return, it added a field goal, followed by a safety on a snap out of the end zone on a punt attempt by Walton.

Norcross punted just once in the half and scored on its final three possessions of the half. Baron Radcliff scored on a 1-yard sneak and Omar Sinclair scored from six yards out.

Radcliff closed out the half with completions of 30, 27 and 23 yards, the last of which was a touchdown pass to Michael Cole with 20 seconds left in the half.

In the second half, Radcliff tossed his second touchdown pass of the day, a 21-yard screen pass to Sinclair. He finished the game 16 of 25 for 246 yards, two touchdown passes and a third touchdown rushing. Tamir Jones was his top target with 78 yards receiving on six catches. Jared Simpkins hauled in three passes for 45 yards and Robert Sims had two catches for 41 yards.

Necholas Sermons scored Norcross’ only other second half touchdown on a 20-yard run with 3:50 remaining in the third quarter. He finished the day with a team-high 46 yards on eight carries.

“Offensively I felt like we executed well,” Norcross head coach Keith Maloof said. “We’ve got to get the running game going a little bit better. I thought Barron did a great job. A couple of times he didn’t trust his protection and he got out of (the pocket) where if he trusts it he might have been able to stay in the pocket… but then he settled down a little bit and got the ball where it needed to go.”

Walton avoided the shutout with a pair of second half touchdown passes by Addison Shoup.

He connected with Dominick Blaylock on a 13-yard score to cap off the opening drive of the second half and found Chandler Smith for a 3-yard score with 7:20 remaining in the game.

The Raiders finished with just 186 yards of total offense. Norcross’ front seven controlled the game from the get-go. Darral

Porter, Nazir Sy, Monty Montgomery, Dareus Barnhill, Jalen Pinkney and Jordan Ferguson each recorded a sack.

Ferguson, a senior linebacker, led the team with 11 tackles, making three for a loss in the Raiders’ backfield.

“In all three phases of the game we did really well,” Maloof said. “I’m pleased with our kicking game, return game, defense I was pleased with up until the third quarter. In the third quarter I think they got a little soft because they saw the lead and didn’t come out and that’s the area we’ve got to get a whole lot better at.

We’ve got to get a whole lot better when we’ve got a lead, because the people we play can explode at any point and team and you think (the lead) is comfortable but it’s really not.

That’s what we’ve got to grow on.”

Burrell agreed with his coach that a win in the Georgia Dome in August is nice, but the goal is to do it again in December.

Norcross began last season with seven straight wins, only to lose its last four and see its season end in the first round of the state playoffs. A dominant performance over Walton was the perfect way for the Blue Devils to move on from their disappointing finish.

“We just connected (more on offense Saturday). Last year I feel like our team was more about individuals, this year it’s more of a team thing.”

Brookwood drive ended with a Shane Adams 29-yard field goal for a 30-23 lead. When North tried to answer, Williamson stepped in front of a screen pass and raced 53 yards with the interception for the game-clinching score.

Late surge pushes Parkview past CPA 32-7

By David Friedlander

PARKVIEW 32, CHRIST PRESBYTERIAN 7

david.friedlander @gwinnettdailypost.com

LILBURN — Parkview quarterback Caleb Mitchell and his teammates knew they didn’t want to regret wasted opportunities in the first half of their 2016 opener against Christ Presbyterian.

So, the senior quarterback and his Panther teammates decided to do something about it, using a surge late in the first half and in the fourth quarter to pull away for 32-7 win in Saturday’s opener of the Georgia-Tennessee Border Wars event at the Big Orange Jungle.

“We’re a young group — maybe not age-wise, but experience-wise,” Mitchell said. “It was really hard to get going. But as soon as we got a little life, … we just started getting more comfortable in the offense.”

That comfort showed, as Mitchell finished the night 23 of 31 passing with one interception and two touchdown passes, both to Miles Marshall, who hauled in five catches on the day for 111 yards, as the Panthers rolled up 400 yards of total offense.

And the Parkview (1-0) defense played just a big a role, holding the visiting Lions (0-1) to just 143 yards, including only 51 on the ground, and forcing two turnovers.

“I was very proud of the defense,” Parkview coach Eric Godfree said. “They were running to the ball.

We had a lot of orange shirts to the ball. Our guys were playing physical. I was very, very pleased.

“We’re like everybody in Game 1. We’ve got plenty of corrections to make, but we’re very blessed to get a win.”

Parkview dominated much of the first half, rolling up 273 yards of total offense, but couldn’t seem to get out of its own way, especially in the first quarter.

Twice in the opening frame, the Panthers made its way into CPA territory, only to turn the ball over — the first on a Gary McCullough interception

Johnston helps South past rival Central 54-21 From Staff Reports LAWRENCEVILLE — After experiencing some growing pains the last two seasons, the South Gwinnett football team started the 2016 season off on the right foot Friday night at Central Gwinnett.

The Comets defeated the Black Knights 54-21, snapping a three-year losing streak in the county’s oldest rivalry.

South (1-0) was led by senior quarterback Seth Johnston who ran for 112 yards and two touchdowns, while throwing for 158 yards and three touchdowns. The Comets, who had won just six total games the last two season, ran for 390 yards on 52 attempts in the win.

Bryce White finished the game with 67 yards rushing on six carries, and added two catches for 71 yards.

Central (0-1) finished the game with just 296 yards of total offense in the game. Quarterback Jarren Williams was 12 of 23 for 97 yards passing and scored on a 4-yard run.

Josh Samuel was impressive as he finished with 166 yards and two touchdowns on 17 carries for the Black Knights.

South recorded four sacks in the game, including three by junior Justin Mascoll, as Central’s passing attack never got going.

FRIDAY NIGHT RECAP Shiloh 27, Collins Hill 14 SUWANEE — Friday night’s season-opening football game at Collins Hill ended fittingly, with a Shiloh defensive touchdown.

The Generals, a year removed from losing their first seven games, built off their momentum from late last season and stunned Collins Hill, a state quarterfinalist last year, 27-14.

The defense scored three of Shiloh’s (1-0) four TDs, the last on Noah McInnis’ fumble return as time expired after a failed bunch of Collins Hill (0-1) laterals.

Shiloh held Collins Hill to nine rushing yards on 19 attempts and pressured Collins Hill’s dual quarterbacks, Monty Horn and Drew Dinsmore, on many other occasions. Those two Eagle quarterbacks combined to go just 17-of-43 through the air with two interceptions.

Kolby Wyatt (three sacks), Cameron Sample (two sacks), King (two sacks, one tackle for loss) and Davon Gilbert (one sack, one tackle for loss) all spent plenty of time in the Collins Hill backfield.

The Generals also scored on a 39-yard Tyler Reese interception return and a 5-yard fumble return

by Greg Jones.

Quarterback D.J. Walker also had a big game for Shiloh, running for 102 yards and throwing for 141 more and a TD. Horn led the Eagles by throwing for 202 yards and a score.

GAC 31, Lovett 6 NORCROSS — Greater Atlanta Christian lost standout quarterback Davis Mills to an injury earlier this week, but a new star was born for the fourth-ranked Spartans on Friday night.

Kyler McMichael rushed for 201 yards and two touchdowns to lead GAC past former region rival and No. 9 Lovett 31-6 in a battle of

Class AAA state-ranked teams at Spartan Stadium.

Mills. one of the nation’s toprated quarterbacks and committed to Stanford, was on the sidelines for Friday’s game in crutches with his injured left knee wrapped.

Jonathan Rose, who was supposed to start at linebacker this season, got the start in place of Mills. The senior was 7 of 13 for 74 yards with one interception. He had 23 yards rushing, including a pair of 1-yard TD runs.

Kicker Brooks Buce also made big contributions, booting a schoolrecord 54-yard field goal, five punts for a 40.6-yard average, five touchbacks on kickoffs and made two PATs. Mountain View 60, Osborne 0 MARIETTA — Mountain View cashed in on numerous miscues by host Osborne, among them five turnovers — including two errant shotgun snaps that wound up as safeties — and also created its own opportunities to roll to a 60-0 rout Friday night at Cardinal Stadium.

Matthew Edwards threw three touchdown passes, two to Dhante Hill, while Garbrentz Josue had a huge night on special teams, returning a free kick for a touchdown and scoring on his own blocked punt as the Bears posted a singlegame school record in points and winning margin, surpassing their 56-0 win over Meadowcreek last year.

The Bears (1-0) scored 18 points in the first 2:31 of the game and never looked back, outgaining the Cardinals (0-1) 287-44 in total yardage.

Wesleyan 41, Threrrell 6 NORCROSS — With a plethora of new starters on offense, Wesleyan knew it could depend on its two returning starters in quarter-

back Banks Ramsey and receiver Harrison Cook.

The duo combined for 163 yards and a touchdown in the opening half as the fourth-ranked (Class A) Wolves rolled to a 41-6 win over Therrell on Friday night in their opener.

Ramsey would end the day completing 16 of his 23 pass attempts for 270 yards and four scores. He also scored on a rushing touchdown.

Cook amassed 163 yards receiving on just four catches and a score, while Zach Peterson gained 86 receiving yards on seven catches with one touchdown.

Wesleyan got solid contributions from its running game as well, with juniors Greg Bielen and Corey Berry combining for 82 rushing yards in the opening half. Both backs found daylight up the middle as the new offensive line created space for the backs for a number of productive runs.

The Wolves defense stifled Therrell, holding it to 67 total yards in the first half along with an interception by senior linebacker Ryan Weed, who also got in on a sack in the first quarter.

Lanier 34, Northview 13 SUGAR HILL — Lanier’s first contest in Class AAAAAA was a success on Friday night as the Longhorns outlasted Northview for a 34-13 win.

The game was essentially a tale of two halves as the Longhorns (10) vaulted to a 27-0 lead at the half only to see the Titans (0-1) surge back in the third quarter before finally pulling away in the fourth.

Lanier running back Marcko Baity played a huge role in Lanier’s quick start with three touchdowns in the first half. The senior carried the offensive load for Lanier, racking up 268 yards and three scores on 34 carries.

Lanier got defensive contribu-

tions from C.J. Bush and Ethan Wilson, who had an interception each, while Juwuan Jones and Terran Grant added one sack apiece.

Hebron Christian 17, East Jackson 7 DACULA — Coming into the season, Hebron Christian Academy head coach Kevin Shaffer knew his defensive unit was going to be strong.

He was exactly right. The Lions stifled East Jackson en route to a 17-7 victory on Friday night.

Hebron held the Eagles to 103 yards of total offense and forced six turnovers, including an interception and three failed fourthdown conversions.

Kendarius Davis led the way for the Lions on defense with four tackles for a loss, including one on an Eagles’ fourth-down attempt.

Hebron finished with 215 total yards of total offense behind 79 rushing yards from Bryce Riley.

Quarterback Troy Allen was 7 of 14 for 50 yards and a touchdown.

Wide receiver Will Warbington had a 20-yard touchdown grab as well.

Roswell 24, Buford 7 POWDER SPRINGS — It took Buford exactly one play to put itself in a hole on Friday night.

And the top-ranked (Class AAAAA) Wolves could never fully climb out of it in a 24-7 loss to Class AAAAAAA No. 3 Roswell in the Corky Kell Classic on Friday at McEachern’s Walter H. Cantrell Stadium.

After giving up a touchdown on the opening drive, Buford (0-1) held off two Roswell (1-0) possessions before evening the score.

Derrian Brown capped a nineplay, 79-yard drive with a 9-yard TD run to tie the game 7-all with 5:02 left in the first quarter.

But Roswell was able to wear down the Wolves in the second

half.

The Hornets rushed for 213 yards, with Sheldon Evans carrying 21 times for 119 yards and a 13-yard touchdown. Quarterback Malik Willis ran for 73 yards and completed 13 of 21 passes for 119 yards and a 24-yard touchdown to Jayden Comma.

Alcovy 27, Duluth 19 DULUTH — Both Duluth and Alcovy finished the 2015 season at 1-9 and they battled each other Friday night in search of a muchneeded win The Wildcats (0-1) fell short of that, though, tossing four interceptions, including a pick-six in the third quarter, in a 27-19 loss to Alcovy.

Jalil El-Amin threw a pair of touchdown passes to Brandon Loftin, while Marcellos Sparks added another TD pass to Cortez Buckholts, and recovered a fumble on defense for Duluth.

Jefferson 48, Discovery 0 LAWRENCEVILLE — Unfazed by the enthusiasm surrounding Discovery’s first varsity football game, the visiting Jefferson Dragons scored six times in the first half and easily defeated the Titans 48-0 Friday night in the season opener for both teams.

Jefferson junior running back Colby Wood quickly put a damper on the historic event, scoring on touchdown runs of 34 and 41 yards in the game’s first nine minutes.

The visiting Dragons (1-0, No. 7 in Class AAAA) scored 17 points in each of the first two quarters, putting the game away by halftime.

Alexander Drazic finished the night 7 of 24 for 46 yards and two interceptions for the Titans (0-1), while Kaleb Cook completed 4 of 6 for 37 yards and one interception.

Jalen Stephens led all Discovery rushers with 33 yards on seven carries.

G-Braves strengthen hold on first place Braves fall 11-9 as

Zimmerman leads Nationals’ hit parade

By Scott Smith

scott.smith @gwinnettdailypost.com

LAWRENCEVILLE — Gwinnett Braves tenuous grip on first place gained a little strength on Saturday night as the G-Braves notched a 5-1 win over Rochester in front of 5,567 fans at CoolRay Field in rain-shortened game.

The win, combined with losses to Charlotte and Durham, stretched Gwinnett’s lead in the International League South to 1.5 games over both Charlotte and Norfolk, with Durham dropping to 2.5 games back.

Two G-Braves experienced a night of firsts as pitcher Jed Bradley made his first appearance for Gwinnett, while Rio Ruiz connected for two home runs for his first multihomer game of his professional career.

Bradley, who was acquired with a trade with the Milwaukee organization on June 3, experieced a home coming of sorts as he played his collegiate ball at Georgia Tech.

The 26-year old lefty worked his way through six ininngs, giving up one earned run on five hits with one walk and nine strikeouts.

Bradley, who was the 15th overall pick by the Brewers in the 2011 draft, had to work out of a couple of minor jams, the first of those coming in the second inning when the Redwings had runners and first and second with two outs.

That threat ended with a fly out to right from Leondardo Reginatto, but Rochester put together a stronger rally in the sixth with runners at first and third with one out.

Facing Adam Walker, Bradley nearly got out of the jam with a double play after third baseman Kyle Kubitza made a diving stop to his left, but Walker beat the rap at first to allow Wilfredo Tovar to score.

The rally would end with next hitter when Bradley fanned Daniel Palka for his ninth punchout of the night, leaving the game after six frames with a 5-1 lead.

Ruiz, who finished the night 3-for-3, parked two fastballs in the Rochester bullpen to go along with a triple in driving in four

runs to give Bradley more than enough runs to work with.

The G-Braves (56-70) had three triples on the night, two from Emilio Bonifacio, who led off the game with a three-bagger and scored on a deep fly to center from Brandon Snyder for the early 1-0 lead.

Ruiz extended the lead to 2-0 in the fourth when he turned on on 0-2 fastball from starter Omar Bencomo for a solo shot to right.

The fifth inning looked like Gwinnett would go quietly, but Reid Brignac and Snyder reached safely on consecutive singles.

Ruiz then followed with his second homer of the game and ninth of the year, keeping a high drive just inside the foul pole

down the right field line.

Bonifacio continued his good work at the plate with a 2-for-3 night, both triples, for his ninth multihit game in the last 15 games.

Jason Hursh followed Bradley and pitched a scoreless seventh when the rain came, prompting a delay of 1 hour, 15 minutes before finally being called.

The loss went to Omar Bencomo (1-1), who went 5 1/3 innings with five earned runs on nine hits with one walk and four strikeouts.

The second game of the series will be played today at 2:05 p.m. John Gant (3-3, 4.30) is the projected starter for Gwinnett with Nick Greenwood (4-3, 3.30) slated to go for Rochester (70-58).

ATLANTA — Washington’s Ryan Zimmerman showed no rust in his return from the disabled list with three hits, including a homer on the first pitch he saw, in the Nationals’ 11-9 win over the Atlanta Braves on Saturday night at Turner Field.

Zimmerman, who was activated earlier in the day after missing 16 games with a left wrist contusion, joined teammates Anthony Rendon, who had four hits, and Daniel Murphy, who had three hits, to pace Washington’s 17-hit attack.

Zimmerman hit his 13th homer of the season, scored twice and drove in two runs in his return.

Much of the damage came in the fourth inning when Washington sent 12 men to the plate and scored eight times.

The beneficiary of the outburst was starting pitcher Max Scherzer (13-7). The right-hander bounced back from his worst start of the season, when he allowed four runs in four innings against the Rockies, to pitch 6 1/3 effective innings. Scherzer also contributed two hits, including an RBI single in the eight-run inning.

Scherzer allowed four runs, six hits and three walks, striking out three, and evened his career re-

cord against Atlanta at 2-2.

The Braves pecked away by scoring six runs in the final three innings and forced Washington manager Dusty Baker to bring in closer Mark Melancon to get the last out of the game.

Melancon allowed a two-run single to Chase d’Arnaud that cut the lead to two runs. Pinch-hitter Anthony Recker, who represented the tying run, popped out to end the game.

Melancon picked up his 36th save of the season.

The losing pitcher was Tyrell Jenkins (2-4), who has been beaten by Washington in back-to-back starts.

Ender Inciarte, Tyler Flowers, d’Arnaud and Jace Peterson each had two hits for the Braves and Freddie Freeman extended his hitting streak to 10 games with a ninth-inning single.

The Nationals have won three straight and have won 11 of 12 against Atlanta this season. The Braves have lost six straight.

The Nationals scored a run in the second inning when Zimmerman, activated from the disabled list earlier in the day, hit the first pitch he saw from Jenkins into the seats in left field. It was Zimmerman’s 13th homer of the season and 21st of his career against the Braves.

Spurred by a closet full of prom dresses, Grayson grad starts business

Formal inspiration

By Frank Reddy Staff Correspondent

Store owner Natalie Albright poses outside the doors of Rsvp Prom and Pageant in Lawrenceville. Albright came up with the idea for the store in high school when she decided to start renting out her own personal dresses. Top left, Rsvp Prom and Pageant store manager Danielle Davis makes adjustments to a dress on display at the family’s store in Lawrenceville.

Top middle, located in downtown Lawrenceville, the store offers dresses for all types of occasions. Top right, Rsvp Prom and Pageant opened in Lawrenceville in 2008. (Special Photos)

more online Visit us online at gwinnettdailypost.com for more photos.

It takes a certain kind of mind to look at one’s circumstances and pluck from the chaos the kind of business idea that could forever shape a personal future.

But then again, not everybody has Natalie Albright’s entrepreneurial brain.

The founder and director of Rsvp Prom & Pageant in Lawrenceville and daughter of likeminded entrepreneurs who moved here from California, Albright managed to keep her penchant for enterprise in check — at least until high school.

At the age of 18, having attended prom and homecoming all four years of high school, the young woman had a whole closet full of gowns and dresses. So she did what any business-minded person with her genetic leanings might do: she rented them out.

Around the same time, being involved with the DECA program at Grayson High School, she entered a competition in which she had to write a business plan, describing financials, target market and marketing strategies. She and her sister, Michele Davis, chose a dress rental business as their project and went on to win the state competition.

Now 26 years old, her idea for a DECA project has evolved into a successful retail business, Rsvp Prom & Pageant, with two locations. The most recently opened store in Johns Creek is in the process of expanding after only several months in business.

At the Lawrenceville store, which opened in 2012, Albright said the family found an ideal spot.

“Downtown Lawrenceville seemed to be the perfect place, especially because of the foot traffic and all the events that happen on the square. … It turned out to be a perfect location for us,” she said.

Specializing in prom, homecoming, Quinceañera and destination wedding dresses, the Lawrenceville store — located at 111 W. Crogan St. — has several dressing rooms, seemingly endless rows of hanging gowns and dresses and a sort of runway surrounded by mirrors.

Albright said these days the Lawrenceville store is “so successful it’s bursting at the seams.”

Between the two locations there’s about 20 staff members, as well as Albright, her sister, Michele, another sister, Danielle Davis, and her parents, Iris and Bruce Davis.

Danielle and Iris manage the Lawrenceville store. Albright said Bruce is “the one who goes back and forth, bringing inventory here, changing the light bulbs and doing all the maintenance, which is nice.”

Added Albright: “I get to spend quality time with my dad when he comes over here to help me out, and he loves it, too.”

She credits her parents, who own the stores, with all the business success.

“I didn’t know this was going to become as big as it did, and honestly if not for the financial backing of my parents, their motivation and being willing to drop what they were doing to pursue this dream, I don’t know if it would have come this far,” Albright said. “They’re the reason all of this is still happening.”

Beyond the two locations, Albright said the online side of the business is also thriving.

The secret to having done so well in this endeavor?

“We focus on customer service,” Albright said.

“It comes down to giving them the full attention they expect when they walk into a store like this.

Some have never prom-shopped before, so we hold their hands through that process and help them select options that will make them feel good about their selection.”

Customer Charity Rutledge said the level of service has kept her coming back to the store time and time again. She’s bought many dresses for her daughter, Emily Rutledge, 17.

“The girls that work at (Rsvp Prom & Pageant) are helpful and sweet, and they make these girls feel like princesses,” Rutledge said.

That’s the idea, Albright said.

“It’s like they’re the stars, and that’s how we like to treat our customers.”

Schools to parents: Keep your opinions to yourselves One thing parents of school-age children will hear frequently over the next couple of weeks is how badly the school wants your participation.

Don’t be fooled. Trust me when I say, as a 25-year veteran school parent — my oldest started kindergarten

in 1992 — that they really do not want your substantive participation.

Oh, they want certain things from you. Like your money. They definitely want that, whether for PTA or BETA club or fundraisers or sports teams or whatever.

And your time. They want

that, too, to do things they’d rather not pay staff to do, like sit at the reception desk or take up tickets at ball games or shelve books in the library.

But what they definitely DO NOT want is your opinion — even when it concerns your own child. They’re not

That’s because today’s “professional educators,” by and large, genuinely believe that they know more about what’s best for children than you do. Not only that, but they believe they know more about what’s best for your own child than you do — and not just academically.

They think they know more than you about what your child should eat, what your child should wear, how your child should play and what your child ought to be doing when not at school (hence the excessive homework many teachers assign — and many administrators require).

If you don’t believe me, just try questioning one of their policies and then listen to them struggle to keep the utter disdain for mere parents out of their voice as they babble some jargon-laden, non-answer answer. I’ve

bestbets SUNDAY

8 p.m. on NBC Rio Olympics Two weeks-plus of competition concludes in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, with the traditional pageantry of the closing ceremony featuring athletes from various nations as they bid farewell — along with the world — to the latest edition of the every-fouryears Summer Games. The last events available for coverage include the final of the men’s marathon in track and field, and the bronze-medal and goldmedal matches in both men’s volleyball and men’s basketball.

Bob Costas

Bob Costas will be among those offering commentary.

a Korean show, this series — also featuring comedian Jeff Dye — sends them across that continent and documents their experiences as they try to embrace the culture and commune (and communicate) with the residents.

MONDAY 8 p.m. on NBC American Ninja Warrior For the “Philadelphia Finals” (also the title of this new episode), the top 30 competitors test their mettle on a more challenging course that has 10 obstacles, including the Salmon Ladder and Flying Shelf Grab.

For the first time in the history of this show, four women — Michelle Warnky, Rachel Goldstein, Jesse LaBreck and Alyssa Beird — have qualified for these finals, along with such fan favorites as Geoff Britten, Joe Moravsky, Jamie Rahn and Ryan Stratis. At stake is the chance to vie in the Las Vegas Finals.

10 p.m. on TNT Major Crimes After a jogger takes an ugly fall down the steps of the city’s famous Greek Theater, the Major Crimes team investigates a divorce attorney who seems to have more than his share of angry clients in the new episode “Family Law.” Elsewhere, Lt. Tao (Michael Paul Chan)

WEDNESDAY Terry Bradshaw goes undercover in the world of college-age hookers, while Buzz (Phillip P. Keene) learns the true identity of a suspect.

Mary McDonnell and G.W. Bailey also star.

TUESDAY 10 p.m. on NBC Better Late Than Never Television icons William Shatner and Henry Winkler and sports veterans Terry Bradshaw and George Foreman all have massive fame in common, and they now share something else: a literally uncharted journey through Asia.

Premiering here and based on

9 p.m. on USA Suits In the new episode “Shake the Trees,” Mike (Patrick J. Adams) takes steps to get the wary Kevin (guest star Erik Palladino) back on his side, while Harvey, Donna and Louis (Gabriel Macht, Sarah Rafferty, Rick Hoffman) scramble to find a missing link to Sutter’s (guest star Alan Rosenberg) inside trading. Meanwhile, Jessica and Rachel (Gina Torres, Meghan Markle) are forced to deliver some bad news.

THURSDAY 9 p.m. on CW Beauty and the Beast Realizing they completely have lost control of their secret, Vincent and Cat (Jay Ryan, Kristin Kreuk) reluctantly are

forced to consider whether it might be time for them to start life together on the run in the new episode “Meet the New Beast.” As they weigh the costs and potential benefits of that kind of existence, Cat frets about how much is at stake, while Vincent accepts that he must face his own past. Austin Basis, Nicole Gale Anderson, Michael Roark and Nina Lisandrello also star.

FRIDAY 9 p.m. on PBS The Dave Clark Five — Glad All Over, a Great Performances Special This special is a must-see for Dave Clark Five fans in particular, and 1960s music fans in general — but you don’t have to be either to appreciate it. Performance footage, home movies and celebrity commentaries tell the story of the British band that made dozens of hit singles and even bumped the Beatles off the No. 1 spot on the charts. Clark himself, an actor before he became a pop star, recounts much of the history that yielded such tunes as “Because.”

SATURDAY 4:30 p.m. on NBC Horse Racing The 147th Travers Stakes from Saratoga Race Course in upstate New York remains the most prolific race outside of the Triple Crown. Three-year-old colts, fillies and geldings run the mile-and-a-quarter track seeking the “Man O War Cup,” the flower blanket and having their colors decorate the canoe on the race course pond. And there’s always that $1.25-million purse. 2015 Triple Crown winner American Pharoah was upset by Keene Ice in last year’s race.

“It has been an incredible 10 years for CERT, and we have seen a lot of great citizens take the training over the years,” said Dave Mueller, who leads the current team and was one of the program’s original participants.

“We have trained over 200 students who are now better prepared when a disaster hits Barrow County.

“We would love to see every citizen attend the classes and learn about disaster preparedness.”

The classes will take place at the Barrow County Emergency Services Station No. 6, 222 Pleasant Hill Church Road, in Winder on Monday nights from 7 to 10 p.m.

Sugar Hill and the Gwinnett Chamber are teaming up to help businesses in the city.

The municipality and the business group recently announced they were establishing a partnership that will see the chamber offering some of its small business resources at Sugar Hill’s Suite Spot. The business incubator, which is located in the city’s growing downtown area, is designed to help new business get started before they move out into the world.

“Working from the Sugar Hill Suite Spot location will enable our businesses to receive the assistance they require within a more convenient distance,” Gwinnett Chamber Senior Vice-President for Membership Services Vince DeSilva said in a statement.

The partnership is the brainchild of city officials who wanted to do something to elevate economic development in Sugar Hill.

The Suite Spot already offers resources through the SCORE entrepreneurial mentors network and the University of Georgia’s Small business Development Center. It also offers work spaces with Wi-Fi and a mailing addresses for new businesses who are still trying to get off the ground.

The addition of the chamber’s Chase will be joined by special guests Runaway June and Mary Kate Farmer at the venue at 2200 Buford Highway.

The budding artist is known for co-writing the chart-topping “Cruise” by Florida Georgia Line.

DACULA Library hosting Lyrics Breakdown chat for teens What did Pink mean in her song, “Just Like Fire,” when she said, “Just like fire, burning out the way. If I can light the world up for just one day.

Watch this madness, colorful charade. No one can be just like me any way?”

Well, that’s something the teenagers of Dacula will have a chance to figure out.

The Dacula library branch will host a Lyrics Breakdown get-together for middle and high schoolers at 4:30 p.m. on Tuesday. Teens are asked to bring copies of the lyrics for their favorite songs to the gathering so their meanings, as well as why listeners like them, can be discussed in a group setting.

The library is located at 265 Dacula Road in Dacula.

The sewing machine and the shotgun It was when I was approaching 7 and about to wrap up the first grade, where I reigned as the No. 1 reader of books as well as the No. 1 talker, that Daddy decided it was time to teach me a skill that he determined would be as necessary to me in life as reading and talking.

My parents, as you probably recall, had both grown up in the mountains, where their parents focused on teaching them survival skills.

This they took seriously, so they put equal focus on teaching their own children.

Mama taught me to sew.

I spent the ages of 3 to 5 standing behind her in a chair as she labored over her sewing machine, watching every move. They bought me a miniature sewing

then pour in the granules of Tide. Mama would teach me Bible stories then Daddy would listen, smiling, as I stood in the center of the den and presented to him those stories I had learned.

With Mama having done her right and proper job of Ronda teaching, Daddy then moved Rich in to teach what he knew: feeding cows, riding horses, machine, so by the age of 6 mowing grass and on some I was designing and sewing Saturdays, I would ride the clothes for my Barbie doll.

Ford tractor with him as he When I was 7, I sewed my pulled the bush hog to cut first dress by myself then I the pastures. progressed to making my One morning, midway own clothes. through my first-grade I began cooking, cleanyear, Daddy reached for ing house and learning to the brimmed hat he always wash clothes by separating wore, which hung on a nail colors before I began school. near the kitchen door. As he I would stand on tiptoe and placed it at a particular angle put the clothes in the washer on his head, he said, “Be

ready this afternoon about 4.

I’ll be by to get you. We’re goin’ up to the farm. I got somethin’ I wanna show you.”

When he arrived in his old, black ’57 Chevy pickup with the cattle bed on it, the one that always drew me into great embarrassment on the few occasions when he picked me up at school, I crawled up into the cab and off we sputtered and shook toward our farm, which was about 30 minutes from our house.

“OK, little ‘un,” he said as he pulled up the dirt road into the farm and stopped in a place between the small lake and a field. “Get all those Coke bottles and bleach bottles out of the back of the truck.” He pulled

out a small shotgun. “Today, I’m gonna learn you how to shoot a gun.”

He lined up the bottles then walked back to me.

Carefully, he explained how to position the gun on my shoulder, target the bottles through the sight, how to aim and how to pull the trigger. “Now, this thing is gonna kick when you shoot it, so stand firm and hold on.”

I was tiny — a petite child who didn’t weigh much. I planted my feet, aimed and squeezed the trigger. The kick was so hard that I went flying backward, my feet jumped out from under me and I hit the ground. Daddy helped me up and said, “Well, little ‘un, you did it. You shattered the Coke

bottle. Now, let’s go again.

Plant your feet.”

By the end of the afternoon, I was still hitting targets and, finally, I was able to take the kick and keep on standing. The bruise on my right shoulder took a week to heal, but I learned more than just shooting that afternoon.

I learned to keep getting up no matter how many times you’re knocked down and how to stand your ground.

I can still hit my target, too.

Four business rules from a winemaker Wine is glamorous.

But winemaking? Not so much.

I recently interviewed Susan Wingo Kiers, owner of Ox-Eye Vineyards, a Virginia farm winery in the Shenandoah Valley. Susan and her husband, John Kiers, purchased a 100-acre farm in 1996 for the purpose of growing grapes. Now, after 20 years of planting, pruning, mistakes and successes, the Kierses run a successful vineyard, winery and tasting room. Ox-Eye — www. oxeyevinyards — was named one of the top 10 wineries to visit by the Washington Post, and its wines are favorites of wine experts.

John is vintner and winemaker, while Susan runs the tasting room, and handles their website.

Their four daughters have also planted and pruned.

The Kierses’ 20-year journey provides four key insights for would-be entrepreneurs.

1. Decant your childhood Kiers says, “My husband and I stumbled across a Rhode Island winery on our honeymoon. I said to him, ‘Wow this is the life.’ He said, ‘You’re thinking that? That’s exactly what I’m thinking.’ Growing up in rural North Carolina, John had farming in his blood. Susan was raised in a suburb of Washington, D.C. Yet she says, “I was fascinated by ‘The Little House on the Prairie’ books. I daydreamed about sustainable living before it even had a name.”

Swirl around in your childhood. What were you interests and why?

Lots of kids read the Little House books dreaming of becoming writers or teachers. For Susan, it was the farm lifestyle. What was your dream? Which elements can you bring forth into a business?

2. Buy a lighted tractor The Kierses worked the farm for 10 years before John quit his job as money manager. Susan says, “He would work all day in Charlottesville, come home and farm. He would farm on weekends; he would get up at 5 a.m. and get on his tractor before he went to work. We got a tractor with good lights so he could work the farm in the dark.”

Do you love your idea enough to pursue it on nights and weekends?

you to stay cash-positive.

Owning a business can seem like freedom to someone with a boss, but in the beginning, it’s anything but freedom. Do you want it badly enough to buy a lighted tractor?

3. Check the soil samples Susan says, “When we started looking in earnest for a farm, we would find a beautiful farmhouses.

But we had to remember, we were looking for the right piece of land. John looked at soil surveys, he felt the lay of the land; he assessed the way the wind worked in the Shenandoah Valley.

It’s easy to get distracted by peripheries — the office, website, etc.

Do your research; stay focused on things that matter. Where are you planting your business?

What are the key elements that matter most?

4. Go one vine at a time Susan says, “Whether or not you have deep pockets, start slowly, know your site. Your site is not the same site as the guy from over the hill.”

The Kierses worked their vineyard slowly, paying attention to what worked.

Susan says, “The big surprise was Riesling.

It’s a beautiful grape that makes a beautiful, elegant wine. Now it’s a big crop for us.”

Every business has surprises — some good, some not so good. Pay attention to what’s working and build on it. Every successful business starts as an idea. What’s yours?
