Newton to make history as Norcross mayor Unchallenged candidate will be first black person to hold post

BY CURT YEOMANS

curt.yeomans @gwinnettdailypost.com

Longtime Norcross City Councilman Craig L. Newton will be the city’s new mayor and make city and county history in the process.

Newton was the only person who qualified to

run for mayor this week since the seat’s current occupant, Bucky Johnson, decided to not run for a sixth term. That means he will automatically become Norcross’ new leader.

It will be the second time in his political career that Newton, who was Norcross’ fi rst AfricanAmerican councilman, will

make history. Gwinnett political observers and officials with the Gwinnett Historical Society couldn’t recall any city in the county ever having an African-American mayor before.

“After serving several terms as a city council member, I am both honored and humbled that our

citizens have given me the opportunity to serve as the next mayor of Norcross in 2018,” Newton wrote on his Facebook page on Friday. “With your continued support and with God’s guidance, we will continue to make Norcross a great city for all to live, work and play.”

To understand Ayden Abercrombie’s Eagle Scout project, it’s important to know one thing: He has always loved the American flag.

The 15-year-old Snellville resident is a member of Boy Scout Troop 548’s honor guard team, and he earned his Eagle Scout rank by making flag drop-off boxes for the county’s OneStop Community Centers. The idea behind the boxes is to give people a place Ayden Abercrombie to drop off their old and worn out flags so they can be properly retired.

“He has always had a thing about the flag since he was learning to talk,” said Dean Abercrombie, the teen’s father. “The

Ed Sheeran plays two sold-out shows in Gwinnett

Ed Sheeran took the stage to deafening cheers and applause to play two sold-out shows this weekend.

Selling out two nights at Infinite Energy Arena isn’t a common accomplishment. The last performance to even play two nights in the Duluth venue was Mumford and Sons.

They also sold out both shows on April 11, 2016, and April 12, MORE ONLINE 2016.

Sheeran fan and Atlanta resident Ffion Button, 14, said she wasn’t at all surprised the red-headed British musician had joined Mumford and Sons in selling out two shows in a row. She attended Sheeran’s Friday night show. On a scale of one to 10, Button said her love for Sheeran ranked at about a 20.

“A lot of my friends wanted to see him, too,” she said.

Many of them would attend the Saturday night show.

that Goins had told one of those friends that he’d been dabbling in an extramarital affair with Taylor while he was helping her find a job.

“He said … ‘I’ve been cheating on my wife,’” Boyd said. “‘I need to figure out how to get rid of (the mistress)’” His friend allegedly advised against anything along those lines, but police believe Goins got rid of his mistress, anyway.

Text message records around Oct. 6, 2014, show that Taylor threatened to expose the affair to Goins’ wife.

“Don’t answer your phone one more time, and see if I don’t call your wife,” Taylor allegedly

wrote.

Goins admitted to police that he did have a sexual relationship with Taylor. He said the affair had begun after he and his wife took the young woman under their wing, paying for hotel rooms and helping her find a job.

Goins also told authorities that he did pick up Taylor on Oct. 7, 2014. But he said he’d dropped her off at a mall in Chattanooga.

Then, he said he went to work for a meeting.

A co-worker later told police Goins had missed that meeting.

After the alleged meeting, Goins said he’d helped a friend with his car before eating at an IHOP and going

home.

Police said neither the phone belonging to Goins or his friend had pinged in the Chatanooga area that night. In fact, Goins’ phone pinged a tower in the Sandy Springs area Oct. 8 at about 12:20 a.m., less than six hours before Taylor’s body was found in Gwinnett.

The friend — the same one who said Goins had asked him for advice days earlier — initially backed up Goins’ story, Boyd said.

Later, he said he no longer wanted to be involved.

Goins’ arrest in December 2014 shook members of the Chattanooga community. They knew him as a former gang member, who’d morphed into an entrepre-

neur and a mentor after a 15-year prison sentence.

In fact, Goins was a key part of the city’s Violence Reduction Initiative, a program that led him to speak to gang members about his time in prison, according to the Chattanooga Times Free Press.

“Goins spoke often at high schools, nonprofits and churches about turning his life around and said he wanted his journey to inspire others,” according to a Times Free Press article.

Now Goins is expected to stand trial in a Gwinnett court room to face charges of murder, felony murder and aggravated assault in the death of his alleged mistress.

Kyphoplasty props up vertebra after fracture DEAR DR. ROACH: An almost 90-year-old friend has osteoporosis.

In January, she collapsed while walking home. Now, five months after having a compression fracture of her vertebra, she says she is most comfortable while lying in bed. She has been taking OxyContin and oxycodone. She is afraid of becoming addicted.

She has been advised that kyphoplasty is the recommended surgery.

She is scared and wants more opinions. She saw an advertisement on TV about minimally invasive back surgery, so I called about it for her, but it was symptom-relief surgery and they do not provide kyphoplasty, which when successful relieves the pressure (almost immediately) that causes the pain without cutting the nerves. Re-establishing the original height and shape of her bone with balloon kyphoplasty seems like an amazing surgical approach and has been available for about 25 years.

My friend believes in offering up her pains (she is deeply spiritual), and I am doing my best to help her make her decision. The neurosurgeon advised her that all surgery has risks, that he has performed the surgery many times, that the vertebra will heal to this new shape and that her pain threshold should be a significant part of her decision.

It comes down to the fact that she is scared and between the proverbial rock and hard place. Please help her make her decision.

— B.C. ANSWER: A compression fracture happens when a vertebral bone, usually weakened through osteoporosis, is crushed.

(Imagine a cardboard box with too much weight on top partially collapsing.)

This often causes the nerve roots, which exit between the vertebrae, to be compressed by the bone, causing pain and sometimes weakness.

For a compression fracture that continues to be so painful that it requires opiates, surgical intervention is clearly worth considering. Both balloon kyphoplasty (where the compressed vertebra is returned to nearly its original height with a balloon and filled with cement to keep it from crushing again) and minimally invasive lumbar fusion (where metal rods keep the nerve from being compressed) are reasonable surgical options. I can’t give an opinion on which of those two would be better, but it sounds like her surgeon has recommended the balloon kyphoplasty, which sounds entirely reasonable to me.

Long-term opiate use is safe and effective for some people, but there are many risks, including dependence on the medication. It is clear that lying in bed is a bad long-term solution.

I also can’t comment on the religious nature of her pain. However, I asked a friend of mine, Clare Rothschild, a professor of Scripture Studies at Lewis University, and she recommended that your friend consult with a trusted leader in the community before making her decision.

Mother-in-law should offer relationship reboot DEAR Amy: My son got married about five years ago. His wife and I got off to a bad start right away. I try to be nice, but she seems to take everything I say the wrong way. She is the child of divorced parents. She overanalyzes everything, and I feel like I have to walk on eggshells around her.

There are many things I admire about her, but when I compliment her, she takes it as patronizing.

I have made some mistakes, such as being too involved in their wedding, but she has made mistakes, too.

I always let her poor behavior go, but she is so unforgiving. I don’t know what to do, because she is married to a son with whom I have always been very close, and honestly, despite the way she treats me, I really love her.

I can’t sleep at night because I’m so worried about this relationship.

— Trying DEAR TRyiNg: I give you props for wanting to improve this relationship, and also for admitting your own role in its dysfunction.

At this point, you have nothing to lose — and much to gain — by owning your role, and expressing your desire for things to change.

You should contact your daughter-in-law, privately, and ask her if she would be willing to help you to “reboot” this relationship. Say that you

Ask Amy

Amy Dickinson still regret overstepping at their wedding, and that you realize this got you off on a poor footing. Tell her that she is family, that you love her and that you hope she will learn to forgive you your own flaws, in order to move forward in friendship.

DEAR Amy: After cleaning up after three relatives who have gone into senior-living residences, I would like your many readers to know that leaving endless piles of junk and money in countless numbers of banks/investments/holdings for others to deal with after you no longer can is selfish and careless.

We are facing another such disaster soon because this particular family obviously has some DNA strand that makes them slobs, and they have no shame in saddling this miserable chore on others.

If you are growing older, look around your home and start straightening things up and purging while you still have the strength and will to do so. Consolidate your holdings and finances

and leave directives to where they can be found.

My own mother was very organized and meticulous but it was still a monthslong task to get things in order. Other people should not have to clean up your mess just because you’d rather play bridge than deal with it. Have some self-discipline!

— Sick of This DEAR SiCk OF THiS: I completely understand the burden that you have taken on (I wrote about this issue in my own memoir). In addition to this being a substantial burden of time and attention, it can also be fairly heartbreaking, if the person who has left a physical mess behind has also left a messy relationship.

Understand, however, that many people leave their affairs in a mess because they face sudden health challenges which make this task physically or emotionally impossible, not because they are playing bridge. It is also a function of human nature to basically deny that our own powers will fade.

Your point about cleaning up while one is healthy is a good one.

There are many resources for people facing this phase of life. One of them is: “ABA/AARP Checklist for My Family: A Guide to My History, Financial Plans and Final Wishes,” by elderlaw attorney Sally Balch Hurme (2015, American Bar Association).

DEAR Amy: Responding to the danger that dogs can present to children, you advised “Been There” to always ask an adult before approaching a dog.

I’ve worked for a flyby-night package delivery company for 25 years.

I have been bitten three times now, and each time the owner was present and said, “Don’t worry.

The dog doesn’t bite.”

Extra caution is recommended.

— Ouch DEAR OuCH: I can only imagine the burden placed on delivery people, regarding the many territorial animals you encounter in the course of doing your job.

Many years ago, when I was raising a young child in London (a dogloving place, if ever there was one), people would encourage their pooches to approach me and my baby, saying, “Don’t worry, he loves children.”

And I would think, “Yes, for breakfast. …” I would always stand between the dog and my child until I was satisfied that this would be a safe encounter.

You can contact Amy Dickinson via email: askamy@amydickinson.com. Readers may send postal mail to Amy Dickinson, c/o Tribune Content Agency, 16650 Westgrove Drive, Suite 175, Addison, Texas, 75001. You can also follow her on Twitter @askingamy or “like” her on Facebook.

Show more creativity when it comes to your personal life and living space. Explore relationships with people who inspire you and are supportive of the goals you want to pursue.

Refuse to let negative or demanding people bring you down or ruin your plans. Finish what you start.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept.

22) — A short trip will motivate you to meet people from different backgrounds or implement different lifestyles into your current daily routine. Share your thoughts and feelings with someone special.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — Do what you can to give something back to your community. Donating possessions will leave you feeling good and will help you get rid of clutter. If you don’t use or want something, pay it forward.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24Nov. 22) — Rely on your uniqueness and creative ability to come up with ideas or plans that will make your surroundings more conducive to the lifestyle you want to pursue.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — Use your strength, courage, desire and discipline to get things done your way.

Home improvements will make you feel safe and secure. Romance will encourage a better relationship.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Taking a unique approach to the way you move forward professionally will lead to positive change in your income and will boost your reputation.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — Question anyone or any situation that seems suspicious or untrue. A fast-talking salesperson will give you false information.

Do your research before you buy into something.

Romance is highlighted.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) — A bargain is only good if what you get is something you actually need. Don’t get caught up in the moment or talked into something that you can do without.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) — Anger due to loyalty issues will not help fix an emotional situation. Take a moment to consider what’s really bothering you before you make unrealistic demands that won’t solve anything.

TAURUS (April 20May 20) — Put your energy into passion, not into an emotional argument. It’s important to be clear about what you want and how you feel.

Working with someone to build a better future is encouraged.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — Make time for the ones you love. Sharing a romantic moment or getting involved in physical activities with youngsters, siblings or peers should highlight your day.

CANCER (June 21July 22) — Being too soft with youngsters or anyone trying to take advantage of your kindness will cause emotional stress. Don’t jeopardize your health just to fit in. Say no to temptation.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — Emotions will be difficult to control. Don’t let anger take charge or you could face unwanted changes in a relationship with someone you want and need in your life. Be willing to compromise.

No matter what part of your life Sean was in, whether personally or professionally, you were more than likely....”his friend”. Sean had practiced medicine as a Family Physician for almost 20 years. He loved his career and it showed by the way he cared for his patients. He always said, “ I will treat you (the patient) as I would want my Wife and Daughters cared for!” His personality was infectious and you were pretty much guaranteed a “story” when you were around him. His “A” game, best quality, was his heart. He truly cared for and about people.

Sean was a member of Cross Pointe Church in Duluth, GA and enjoyed family time and traveling. Sean was preceded in death by his mother, Sheila Helen Peck Rogers.

Sean is survived by his wife, Kimberley and their daughter Megan and his daughter Courtney, who lives in Australia. Sean is also survived by his Father & friend, Joseph Richard Herrin, III and his wife, Linn. (Shreveport, LA) Sean is survived by his Brother, Troy Herrin (Houston, TX) and a sister, Holly Herrin Ulbrich.

The business plan presentations can offer the community a crucial look into what issues their county’s government may be facing.

During last year’s presentations, for example, officials from the police department and Sheriff’s Office highlighted issues with employee retention.

That opened up discussions about retention issues across all county departments, which was a factor in why county leaders chose to raise the county’s millage

rate this year.

The Budget Review Panel will make recommendations to Nash and the county’s finance department on which initiatives and new positions requested by department heads should be funded in the 2018 budget, as well as what the county’s budget priorities should be.

Each business plan presentation will be recorded so they can be broadcast later on TVGwinnett and posted on TVgwinnett.com.

Nash’s proposed 2018 budget will be presented to county commissioners, residents and the news media Nov. 28, and a public hearing has been scheduled for Dec. 4. The commissioners will vote on adoption of the budget at its first meeting in January.

A newly renovated Sonesta hotel is scheduled to open up in the next few months in Gwinnett.

In June, Sonesta Gwinnett Place Atlanta began transforming one of its two towers into the Sonesta ES Suites Gwinnett Place Atlanta, a new signature extended stay hotel brand.

The new suites will welcome guests in 81 newly designed efficiency, studio and one bedroom suites.

The new hotel is due to open in mid-November and will feature spacious bedrooms, fully equipped kitchens and a separate living area, according to a press release.

Unlike in most extended stay hotels, guests of Sonesta ES Suites Gwinnett Place will be able to take advantage of all the existing amenities and services available at Sonesta Gwinnett Place Atlanta.

“The brand’s everyday surprises are created to delight our guests and remove some of the drudgery of being on the road and away from home,” according to the release.

try deal with “non-point source nitrogen pollution, volatile organic compound emission detection, harmful algal blooms, roadway air pollution near schools, and other environmental and human health issues across the country.”

A project description on the EPA’s website lists the protection of water quality as a high priority. Traditionally, water monitoring would have been done in the field, but federal officials said that presents challenges to watching

natural patterns and trends in systems that change rapidly.

The EPA also said that while technology has made it possible to monitor water quality continuously in real time, the cost of the equipment and systems needed to operate is too prohibitive for widespread use.

While officials with the Adopt-A-Stream Program will install the network, the EPA said it will evaluate the sensors’ performance as compared to

standard equipment.” The agency also said “project results will help demonstrate the usefulness of low-cost sensor technologies for assessing water quality.”

“EPA encourages the use of innovative scientific approaches to help solve important environmental problems,” EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt said in a statement. “By working with our state partners and engaging the public we can foster creative solutions to these challenges.”

world&nation world North Korea launches trio of missiles North Korea launched a barrage of missiles Saturday, less than one week after U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson praised the country for showing ‘restraint’ in its weapons program.

Pyongyang fired three short-range ballistic missiles from the Kangwon province, the U.S. Pacific Command said. The launches occurred in the midst of the U.S. and South Korea’s annual military exercises.

U.S. Pacific Command, in its initial assessment of the launch on Saturday, said North Korea’s first and third missiles failed in flight. It later amended its statement to say the missiles flew “approximately 250 kilometers in a northeastern direction.”

The second missile appeared to have blown up almost immediately at launch, the command said.

Thousands stuck on cruise ships

Thousands of passengers on several Carnival cruise ships are stranded and unable to return to the Galveston, Texas, port after Hurricane Harvey.

High winds and pouring rains from Harvey, now a tropical storm, have devastated cities along the southern coast of Texas, destroying homes and businesses, downing trees and signs and knocking out power across the area.

The port of Galveston, where some Carnival cruise trips begin and end, was closed because of the storm. As a result, the travel plans of several ships full of people are up in the air.

Brittany Dessin, a passenger on the Carnival Breeze, was supposed to be returning to Galveston on Sunday to end her cruise through the Gulf of Mexico.

But because of Harvey, her cruise ship is staying for an extra day in Cozumel, the island off the coast of Mexico, she told CNN. The ship was expected to leave Cozumel for Galveston on Saturday afternoon, and Dessin said she wasn’t sure if she’d make her flight back home to New Jersey.

Trump makes a mess for Arizona GOP with Arpaio pardon

By Eric BradnEr CNN

In just nine days, President Donald Trump might have badly hobbled Arizona Republicans headed into a competitive Senate race and hurt his own reelection prospects in the state.

Trump’s efforts to unseat Sen. Jeff Flake in the state’s 2018 Republican primary have left Trump’s allies confused and divided over which of several

must read possible anti-Flake candidates should get their support.

And the President’s decision to pardon controversial former Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio — quietly, on a Friday night, with Hurricane Harvey set to make landfall in Texas as a Category 4 storm — handed Democrats such a potent tool to turn out Latino votes that it

might not matter who the GOP puts on the ballot.

The Arpaio pardon is sure to please Trump’s base — particularly those who favor a strict crackdown on immigration, many of whom attended his campaign rally Tuesday night in Phoenix, the Maricopa County seat.

But it also could come at a steep political cost.

While Maricopa is one of the few major urban counties in the

United States that still backs Republican presidential candidates, Trump won by a paltry 3.4 percentage points there — much worse than the 12 points by which Mitt Romney bested former President Barack Obama in the county in 2012.

Trump took the state by just 3.5 points — a smaller margin of victory than the traditional swing states of North Carolina, Iowa and Ohio.

Arpaio, meanwhile, was

easily ousted last year after 24 years in office as Maricopa County sheriff. Democratic challenger Paul Penzone won 56 percent to Arpaio’s 44 percent.

That means a substantial share of Trump’s supporters in Maricopa County — more than enough to swing the key county, which made up about half of Trump’s margin of victory and the entire state — voted against Arpaio last year.

manship make Sheeran’s concerts a special event for fans. In fact, two separate couples got engaged during Friday night’s show.

Judging by the cheers around them, both women said, “yes.”

Sophie Shellman is too young to consider getting engaged at a Sheeran concert, but she and her mother had traveled almost three hours from Alabama to celebrate her ninth birthday at Sheeran’s concert.

“I know most of the songs from his new CD,” the birthday girl said before the show.

“I hope he sings those.”

Shellman wasn’t the only one excited to be at Infinite Energy to see Sheeran this weekend.

“We just love Ed Sheeran,” mother Amber Shellman said. “I like that he’s a ginger.

I’ve got to support my fellow redheads.”

No matter what their reason for attending, Sheeran seemed impressed with the sold-out crowd.

“I want to reserve judgement until the end of the show,” he said about halfway through. “But I think you’re the loudest crowd in America.”

audience.

Even without any recent hits, Blunt was able to completely engage the arena when he took the stage on Friday. He sang ballads and joked a lot about himself and Sheeran.

“I saw what Ed had for dinner,” Blunt said at one point. “He had a lot of sausage and mash. He’ll be bogged down and he’s afraid you’ll get quiet. So he sent me out here to amp you up.”

Blunt did his job, but in reality, Sheeran didn’t need help getting his fans excited.

He took the stage to deafening cheers as he opened up with “Castle on the Hill,” a song that reached No. 6 on the Billboard Hot 100 when he released it as a single earlier this year.

From the beginning, Sheeran exuded energy. He danced around on stage often jumping up on speakers for effect. Behind him, a tower of screens alternated between playing animations that matched his songs and showing his face as he sang and strummed his guitar.

A dragon animation straight from his music video

played as Sheeran performed “I See Fire,” a song he wrote for “The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug” in 2013.

Sheeran made sure his audience held the same energy both he and his backdrop exuded throughout the show.

He encouraged the crowd to dance as he performed his new song, “Galway Girl” and frequently turned his mic toward the crowd to finish lyrics.

“I want you to pretend you’re at your favorite karaoke bar at 2 a.m. and ‘I Want It That Way’ by the Backstreet Boys just came on,” he said.

Sheeran’s fans were aware of his showmanship, but Button said that’s not the only reason he sold out two shows in Gwinnett this weekend. His music was the bottom line.

“I like the acoustics on it and the guitar,” Button said.

Sheeran plays all his songs as a one-man band. He uses his guitar both to strum and to drum while a loop pedal allows him to build multidimensional sound and to harmonize with himself. He juggled all of it seamlessly this weekend.

That unique musical talent combined with his show-

Celebration time Good2Give Gala praises nonprofit work

The second annual Good2Give Gala packed the Infinite Energy Forum’s Grand Ballroom with people, laughs, dogs and nonprofit pride last weekend.

“It was just over the top,” Randy Redner said. “It got even bigger and better than last year.”

Redner is the president and CEO of the Community Foundation for Northeast Georgia, the nonprofit community foundation that hosts the gala each year.

“Our goal with the Good2Give Gala is to spend an evening celebrating how much good we can do when we work together,” Redner said.

With the help of emcees Mariela Romero from Univision and Scott Slade from WSB Radio, the Community Foundation highlighted five areas where nonprofits are working together for the good of Gwinnett County — in the community, human services, health care, arts and education.

Romero and Slade showed off a few examples of effective nonprofits in each area.

For example, Kathy Gestar, founder of the Cody Fund, stood out in the “community” category. Gestar used the Cody Fund to donate two

police dogs to the Gwinnett County Police K-9 Unit in December.

The dogs — Elsa and Nitro — both made a surprise appearance at the gala with Gwinnett County Police Chief Butch Ayers.

The night featured some surprise human guests, too.

During the education portion of the evening, the Community Foundation honored David and Angela Araya, who founded the Hispanic Organization Promoting Education. The pair planted four current and former students throughout the audience, who shared their accomplishments and aspirations.

Then, 70 students burst through the ballroom doors and got the entire audience on their feet to do something they called the “roller coaster.”

There were laughs, but the audience also shed tears throughout the evening.

While the Community Foun-

dation was recognizing the Hudgens Center for Arts and Learning during the arts portion of the evening, a Healing Arts Class participant named Ronika Gorden shared an emotional story.

Tomika Waldon, a graduate of the Home of Hope at Gwinnett Children’s Shelter, also shared the story that brought her to the shelter during the human services segment of the gala.

She told the audience how she was once a homeless mother. She lived in her car with her 4-year-old daughter and the pair ate food samples from the Mall of Georgia food court to survive.

By the end of Waldon’s story, the audience was in tears.

Between each surprise guest and heartfelt story, the Foundation gave away $5,000 to a different nonprofit. By the end of the night a combined $25,000 was awarded to Gwinnett Friends of Seniors, Gwinnett Symphony, Gwinnett Public Library, Supporting Adoption and Foster Families Together

Planning commissioner running for House seat A Gwinnett County planning commissioner is joining the race to replace state Rep. Buzz Brockway in the Georgia General Assembly.

Paula Hastings announced this week that she will run Paula Hastings as a Republican for Brockway’s House District 102 seat. Brockway has chosen to run for secretary of state next year rather than seek reelection to the state legislature, therefore creating an open seat in the House of Representatives.

“This community has been fortunate to be represented by Buzz Brockway,” Hastings said in her

Political Notebook

Curt Yeomans campaign announcement.

“Now that he has chosen to run for secretary of state, I am ready to continue my long track record of grassroots leadership and service in the community to ensure that we continue to have the very best representation and a conservative voice at the State Capitol. Our families deserve no less.

“I feel strongly that this district must continue to be represented

and protected by someone that has a deep, hands-on connection. I have an unquestioned and unmatched record of serving and protecting this community — of providing a voice for homeowners, parents, schools and taxpayers, all with the goal of ensuring that this remains a worldclass community for our kids now and for them to return in the future. I have the record needed to advocate for our district at the State Capitol.”

In addition to serving as a county planning commissioner, Hastings has also served on the Development Advisory Committee, the Planning Advisory Committee, the Brook Forest Homeowners Association Board of Directors and the Golden Triangle Community

Association. She was also involved in the Gr8 Exchange on Transportation.

She was also among those who lobbied for the creation of Rock Springs Park as a way to relieve overcrowding at Collins Hill Park.

House District 102 includes parts of the Collins Hill, Lawrenceville, Mountain View and Suwanee areas.

“Whether it’s safeguarding our schools, tackling traffic, growing a 21st century economy, protecting taxpayers, reining in government or advancing our principles, I am ready to continue my record of serving our community as our unwavering voice at the State Capitol to ensure District 102 remains a place we are all proud to call

“home,” Hastings said.

Is there an end to war in Afghanistan?

President Trump is not the first U.S. leader to pivot when it comes to foreign policy. His speech Monday night before American military personnel at Fort Myer in Arlington, Virginia, was in stark contrast to his campaign pledge to put “America first” and his promise to avoid “foreign entanglements,” as George Washington put it in his Farewell Address.

The president admitted that reality caught up with him after his inauguration and that America must ensure that al-Qaida does not again gain a foothold in the country from which it could plot another massive terror attack on the U.S. A Trump administration official said the Cal Pentagon Thomas will send an estimated 4,000 additional American forces to Afghanistan, a plan reminiscent of the Iraq “surge” ordered by President George W. Bush and successfully led by Gen. David Petraeus. What is different about this latest tactic is the threat of financial consequences if Pakistan doesn’t stop harboring terrorists and do more to help win the war.

The question remains: What does “winning” look like? President Trump promised not to engage in “nation building,” but what is its alternative? After 16 years in Afghanistan, the cost of war has risen to an estimated $700 billion. More than 2,000 American lives have been lost and thousands more wounded. We have hardly established a foundation for a stable nation, much less built anything on it.

Departing from President Obama’s announcements of timetables for withdrawal, Trump said, “Conditions on the ground — not arbitrary timetables — will guide our strategy from now on,” adding, “Another fundamental pillar of our new strategy is the integration of all instruments of American power — diplomatic, economic and military — toward a successful outcome.”

I’m all for successful outcomes, but what does he have in mind? How will success be determined? How does one stabilize an unstable country mired down by rival tribes and religious conflict?

In his speech, there was an implied threat to India if that country doesn’t help with the war effort: “India makes billions of dollars in trade with the United States, and we want them to help us more with Afghanistan, especially in the area of economic assistance and development.

We are committed to pursuing our shared objectives for peace and security in South Asia and the broader Indo-Pacific region.”

The president noted he has already “lifted restrictions the previous administration placed on our war fighters that prevented the secretary of defense and our commanders in the field from fully and swiftly waging battle against the enemy. Micromanagement from Washington, D.C., does not win battles. They are won in the field, drawing upon the judgment and expertise of wartime commanders and frontline soldiers acting in real time with real authority and with a clear mission to defeat the enemy.”

The “rules of engagement” have contributed to American casualty figures. The enemy plays by no rules. Will the lifting of U.S. rules kill more of the enemy or kill more civilians behind whom enemy forces often hide?

The president also issued a warning to the Afghan government: “America will work with the Afghan government as long as we see determination and progress. However, our commitment is not unlimited, and our support is not a blank check. The government of Afghanistan must carry their share of the military, political and economic burden.

The American people expect to see real reforms, real progress and real results.

Our patience is not unlimited. We will keep our eyes wide open.”

If they don’t comply, will we pull out anyway? That’s what al-Qaida is banking on.

There is much that is right about the president’s announced new strategy and objectives, but the question remains: Can this war be won and the country stabilized, or will Afghanistan always be a bottomless pit?

It shouldn’t be long before we have an answer.

Cal Cheney a hero in many ways It doesn’t seem right to say that I enjoyed a visitation at a funeral home, but last week, I enjoyed a visitation at a funeral home.

Don’t misunderstand. I was terribly sorry that Mr. Calvin Cheney had passed away, but he had lived such a remarkable life and positively affected hundreds, if not thousands, of lives — and so as I stood around, listening to many of the people he had touched swap stories about him, I found myself enthralled.

Now understand, Mr. Cheney, as I knew him — or, more accurately, Conrad’s dad — was on up in years when I first met him, twenty-some-odd years ago. When he passed away he was 96. That’s a pretty good lifespan. I’d take it, if offered, right now. And in the quarter-of-a-century that I knew him, I never saw him when he didn’t have a smile on his face and a twinkle in his eye, even after he lost Barbara, his precious wife of 68 years — 68 years!

Cal Cheney was a hero.

He joined the United States Navy just a few days after the bombing of Pearl Harbor and served for the duration. He was a pharmacist mate 1st class on the USS Wilkes-Barre and saved countless lives as a medic at Iwo Jima. Do you realize how few and far between those

of those boys he coached, now semi-old men like me, gathered to pay their respects to the man who was their coach and mentor and friend for those many years.

And those who showed up weren’t just members of his team, the Pirates, either.

Darrell Huckaby There were also guys who had played for the Cardinals and the Dodgers and other teams in heroes are nowadays? We have the league.

But they and did his best at the tryout. were telling baseball stories He related his disappoint— lots and lots and lots of ment at receiving a call from great baseball stories. You see, Coach Cheney the day after Cal Cheney helped start Little the tryouts, informing him that League baseball in DeKalb he was going to play for the County in 1958, and he shared Pirates. His disappointment was his time and his love of life and short-lived, however, and he was love of the game with countsoon counting his blessings that less boys in Avondale Estates he got to play for the team he over the next 30 years.

Dodgers,” he said several times that evening.

As I listened to the former boys of summer talk about the glory days of Little League, I was struck about how similar their experiences were to my own. Now we didn’t have open tryouts in Newton County. You tried out and played for your community team. Porterdale, where I lived, had the Yankees.

Covington Mills had the Trojans and the city had the Braves, I believe. I know that the Stewart community had the Indians. I can’t remember what Mansfield was. It’s been a long time.

But I know that we rode to Baker Field in Covington in the back of a pickup truck, just like the kids from DeKalb did, and we stopped at the Tastee Freeze for ice cream cones if we won.

Those boys stopped at the Dairy Queen and the winning pitcher got a banana split, unless it was Mike, who always asked for a milkshake.

Like I said, their lives were more like mine than different from mine, and Mr. Cal Cheney was a hero to all of us. I thank God for his life and for those of his generation. They really were The Greatest. They don’t make men like him anymore, and that should be alarming to all of us.

All things remotely Confederate-ish must go WASHINGTON — If something is worth doing in America, it’s worth overdoing.

ESPN proved this eternal truth anew this week when it announced that, in response to the violence in Charlottesville, it was removing announcer Robert Lee from broadcasting the University of Virginia football game — because he has the same name as the Confederate commander Robert E. Lee. ESPN’s Lee is Asian-American.

Similar caution just led the University of Houston to change the name of its Calhoun Lofts dorm because it shares a name with the 19th-century vice president and white supremacist John C. Calhoun, even though, a university spokeswoman told the Houston Chronicle, “the residence hall was not named in recognition of John C. Calhoun” but a nearby street.

In Atlanta, likewise, protesters last week attempted to tear down that city’s Peace Monument, apparently mistaking it for a Confederate shrine. The sculpture was erected to honor those who worked for reunification during Reconstruction.

The movement to remove Confederate monuments can be a healthy one, if done legally, according to the wishes of local citizens and in such a way that preserves this history without glorifying it. But from across this great land come reminders that nothing in America succeeds like excess.

don’t think it goes far enough.

If we are to purge ourselves of Robert E. Lee (and ESPN’s Robert Lee), we must avoid confusion by renaming or replacing all things with names similar to the Confederate general’s: Bruce Lee, Tommy Lee, Spike Lee, Harper Lee, Bobby Dana Lee, Lee jeans, Lee Majors and Milbank Lee Iacocca.

It won’t do simply to rename New York Mayor Bill de schools named for the ConfedBlasio announced a 90-day erate Gen. J.E.B. Stuart. We’re review of any statues on city going to have to rename Stuart property that could be “symbols Little, Stuart the Minion from of hate.” New Yorkers are now “Despicable Me,” Jon Stewart, taking aim at the Christopher Martha Stewart and Jeb Bush.

Grant. that share names with this Some object to the Theodore Confederate general: early-bird Roosevelt statue outside the specials, early morning, early Museum of Natural History, retirement, early voting and and others suggest the name early NBA draft entry.

“New York” itself may have to If Confederate hero Nathan go because the Duke of York Bedford Forrest must go, so was a slave trader. New York must the Redwood forest. Also chef Tom Colicchio dropped the Gulf Stream waters. Fort the name of his new restaurant A.P. Hill, an army base named because it was named after a for a Confederate general, must building that was named after be renamed. So must Capitol 19th-century publishers who Hill, Beacon Hill, Nob Hill, had racist views.

Memorials to Confederate Gen. Leonidas Polk cannot be moved without also erasing all trace of President James Polk, polka dances, polka dots, Hawaiian poke and Pokemon.

Picket lines must be outlawed and picket fences flattened to avoid honoring Gen. George Pickett, and I will stonewall any attempt to disappear Gen. Thomas Jackson without also renaming Michael Jackson, Janet Jackson, Reggie Jackson, Percy Jackson, Action Jackson and Jackson Hole.

I regret to say we must also rename my Washington Post colleague Philip Rucker, who shares a name with (though is not related to) Confederate Gen. Edmund Rucker.

That’s asking a lot of Phil, but we all must do our share. I will be demanding a new name for my public high school, Calhoun High School. It’s not named for John C. but for Sanford H., a 20th-century New York school administrator who, to the best of my knowledge, did not own slaves. But you can’t be too careful.

Norcross scores twice in final quarter to edge Collins Hill

By Will Hammock NORCROSS — Down in the fourth quarter for the second straight week, Norcross finished off the rally this time.

The host Blue Devils scored twice in the final quarter Friday night and fought off a challenge from Collins Hill, pulling out an 18-10 victory against their former region rivals.

Norcross nearly had a comeback win over Colquitt County in last week’s Corky Kell Classic, but a controversial ending with time management by the game officials prevented that from happening.

Collins Hill (1-1) went up 10-9 late in the third quarter Friday before the

Blue Devils (1-1) regained control and posted their sixth win over the Eagles in the past seven seasons.

“It means a lot (to come back),” said Norcross’ Christian Wright, who had two tackles for losses.

“We’re a second-half team.

We don’t quit. We’re not going to quit. If we’re losing by 21, we’re not going to quit. We’re always going to come back. I promise.

Collins Hill’s ball-control offense kept the game close, grinding out 161 yards on 56 attempts. The Eagles went up 10-9 on 23-yard field goal by Rodolfo Gonzales with 3:12 left in the third quarter before Norcross bounced back.

Early lead, late TD helps Grayson outlast Hoover

By David Friedlander

Irons finished with 200 yards

david.friedlander@gwinnettdailypost.com on 14 of 19 passing and added

LOGANVILLE — In a game that already saw one dramatic momentum shift, Grayson desperately needed one more in its 2017 season opener Friday night against Hoover.

The Rams got just that with Kenyon Jackson’s catch and run of a D.J. Irons’ pass with 3:54 remaining that finally helped them put away the pesky Buccaneers for a 35-26 win in a battle of defending state champions from Georgia and Alabama at Grayson Community Stadium.

63 yards on the ground, while Ronald Thompkins (18-100, 2 TDs) and Camron Thompson (8-95) also had big nights runKenyon ning the ball.

Jackson But the Rams (1-0) could never relax, despite taking two-touchdown leads in the opening minutes of both haves, and it took the heroics of Irons and Jackson, plus plenty of poise for them to hold on.

“I’m just really proud of our kids,” said Christian Hunnicutt, who gained a victory in his debut as Grayson’s head coach. “They kept playing and kept fighting.

When Hoover made a run, nobody panicked. Nobody flinched.

They had a lot of poise and a lot of resolve.”

It didn’t take Grayson long to jump out in front, thanks to a couple of big plays in its opening two possessions.

First, a critical 15-yard completion from Irons to Thompson on third-and-12 kept the ball with the Rams, allowing Thompson a chance to burst free

on a handoff two plays later for a 57-yard gain that took the ball all the way to the Hoover 2-yard line.

Two plays later, Irons ran it in from a yard out to put Grayson in front 7-0 just 2:01 after the opening kickoff.

Following a three-and-out by the defense, the Rams took possession after a Hoover punt just on their side of midfield.

Irons and Thompkins then led the offense on an eight-play, 49-yard drive that ended when Thompkins rumbled in from 13 yards out to push the Grayson advantage to 14-0 with 7:28 still

left in the first quarter.

But a pair of big plays over the final 16 minutes of the first half — one each by the Hoover offense and defense — helped swing momentum back to the visitors from Alabama.

First, quarterback Jalen Parker hooked up with Auburn commit Shedrick Jackson on a 51-yard completion on third-and-17 from the Hoover 20 to flip the field and set up Barret Pickering’s 47yard field goal that cut Grayson’s lead to 14-3 with 4:19 left in the first quarter.

Buford running backs too much for Florida foe

By Brandon Sudge Staff Correspondent

BUFORD — On third-and-short, Christian Turner stood behind his line in preparation to take a handoff and get past the marker.

He did that, and then some. The Wolves’ senior running back broke a tackle, then another, then broke loose for an 81yard touchdown run that sent Tom Riden Stadium into an uproar.

“One step at a time,” Turner said. “See the end zone and score, that’s all I was thinking about. The offensive line is making us look good. We can’t do it without them.”

That burst was one of many explosive plays from Buford’s (2-0) multi-faceted backfield en route to a 34-17 victory over Melbourne Central Catholic (Fla.).

“It was an on-andoff game,” Buford head coach John Ford said.

“We did some things well, but some we have to correct as well.”

MILL CREEK 31, STEPHENSON 13

Staff Correspondent

By Mitch Blomert Staff Correspondent

SUWANEE — For a second week in a row, Mountain View’s overwhelming offense was on full display.

Armed with one big play after another — often from the arm of quarterback Matthew Edwards — the Bears got up and down the Matthew Edwards field with ease en route to a 31-13 win over Lambert on Friday.

Edwards was 21 of 35 passing for 301 yards and three touchdowns, Malachi Carter caught 10 passes for 132 yards and Tommy Stewart hauled in a pair of TDs as the Mountain View (2-0) passing game shined throughout the night and secured convincing backto-back wins to start the 2017 football season.

“Our constant flow of run and our deep attack, everything was just on tonight,” Edwards said. “We had a great night. We were just really on fire today.”

After a 71-0 rout of Osborne in last week’s opener, the Bears were sure to have a tougher showdown against the Forsyth County-based Longhorns (0-1), who won Region 5-AAAAAAA and reached the second round of the state playoffs last season.

The score was a little tighter, but the yards were still attainable. Mountain View led the entirety of the game and finished the night with 432 total yards. The offense had three scoring drives that lasted less than a minute.

“We have explosive types of players,” Bears head coach Nick Bach said.

“We just have to get them the ball at the right time and the right place. They can make it happen.”

Mountain View is back on the road again next Friday at Berkmar with a chance to start the season 3-0 for the second year in a row.

The Bears demonstrated their big-play capabilities early and often. Edwards torched the Lambert secondary for 176 passing

yards in the first half to give his team a 21-10 lead at intermission.

A 55-yard catch from Edwards to Stewart highlighted their explosive opening drive, capped with a 17-yard TD catch by Carter at the 3:37 mark of the first quarter.

They made it a 14-0 game thanks to more crafty connections between Edwards and his receivers. He needed just two plays to go 66 yards through the air to set up his team on the goal line, and Blake Carroll did the rest with a 1-yard punch into the end zone.

Lambert answered on the ensuing series with its longest single play of the game — a 67-yard completion from quarterback Bobby Gabriel to an open Justin Bruno downfield.

The Longhorns rumbled down to the Mountain View 8-yard line, but settled for a field goal after a pair of Gabriel incompletions.

A minute a later, it was 21-3. The Bears opened up their next possession with a 55-yard run from Enoch Walters, his only carry of the half. They went back to the air the rest of the drive, and Stewart snagged a 13yard pass for the score.

Walters finished the game as Mountain View’s leading rusher with 79 yards on five carries.

Lambert scored its first TD of the game in the last minute of the half when Jacob Unhoch cradled a deflected ball in the back edge of the end zone.

The Bears opened the second half with another quick-strike, needing just 56 seconds to take a 28-10 lead on yet another Edwards throw. Most of the drive was Stewart bolting 52 yards downfield on a TD screen.

Lambert concluded third-quarter scoring with a 49-yard field goal by Bryce Christensen.

The Longhorns’ chance to get back within eight points was halted by a Marquel Broughton interception with 3:16 left in the game.

Mountain View turned it into a 40-yard FG by Ayala to close out the game.

Gabriel was 7 of 17 passing for 149 yards with a TD and two interceptions for Lambert. Marcus Chattelain picked up 97 yards on 14 carries.

And after forcing a quick three-and-out on defense, the Hawks marched right back down the field on an 8-play, 54-yard drive and scored on a 1-yard QB keeper from Longenecker.

The Hawks came very close to pitching a shutout on defense in the second half. The Jaguars scored a late fourth quarter touchdown, but all-in-all, the play of the defense was outstanding in Jarvis’ eyes.

“I was very pleased with our defense’s speed of play,” Jarvis said. “I thought they played really well tonight.”

The Hawks scored two third-quarter touchdowns, and added a 30-yard field goal in the fourth quarter to round out the scoring.

The second half was also an opportunity for Jarvis to get to see his other quarterback, Caden Cullins play. He played the entire second half with the exception of the opening drive of the third quarter and played well.

“Caden has earned reps,” he said. “I told Brady at halftime that he was doing the opening drive. And he did a very good job. But I wanted to see Kaden, too, because coming out of spring, they were very equal. Every position is a competition.”

LAWRENCEVILLE — Saturday night’s game with the Charlotte Knights provided a few of what have been abnormalities of late for the Gwinnett Braves.

Aside from a 15-minute delay caused by a smoke alarm that forced the players, umpires and crowd of 8,087 to briefly evacuate Coolray Field., the other main oddity involved the G-Braves’ bats being held in check.

Four different Charlotte hitters held them to just five hits, while an error opened the door for two unearned runs in the top of the eighth that proved to be the difference in a 3-1 Knights victory.

The loss overshadowed a strong Saturday night crowd, an equally strong start by Josh Collmenter, plus a perfect 3-for-3 night from Kyle Kubtiza and two more hits from Kade Scivicque.

It also temporarily brought to a halt a G-Braves attack that had been averaging 5.4 runs per game during a 12-4 stretch entering Saturday’s game. “(Charlotte starter Michael Kopech) pitched a good game against us,” G-Braves manager Damon Berryhill said. “We came out a little sluggish. I think it’s kind of the second-day blues (after) a long road trip. A late bus ride. But we had opportunities in that game. We just couldn’t capitalize and drive in that run early to put us up and try to get momentum.

But I’m happy with the way the guys have been battling and continuing to play hard.”

But the G-Braves had a hard time solving Kopeck who held them without a hit through the first four innings.

However, Collmenter matched him pretty much pitch-for-pitch, as the veteran right-hander allowed only an RBI single by D.J. Peterson in the fourth and five hits with four strikeouts and no walks over six

innings to keep Gwinnett close.

“I’m not going to throw (the ball) by anyone, so I have to be a little more precise,” said the 31-year-old right-hander, who 1-0 with a 0.60 ERA and 14 strikeouts in 15 innings since joining the G-Braves staff on Aug. 16. “So if I can move it in and out and change speeds, my whole goal is to keep the (opposing) line-up as offbalance as possible.”

The G-Braves finally rewarded that effort when Kubitza and Scivicque led off the the bottom of the fifth with singles, with Kubitza coming home after Rymer Liriano’s throw sailed wide and off the dugout screen to tie the game at 1-all.

That’s where the game stayed, thanks to G-Braves reliever Jason Hursh and Charlotte’s Brian Clark (61), who gave up just the one unearned run in two innings, and Michael Ynoa, who threw a scoreless eighth.

And in the top of the eighth, the Knights took advantage of a Kubitza error on Eddy Alvarez’s grounder to lead off the inning, which was followed by the second of Jake Peters’ three hits of the night.

Jacob May then bounced into a 6-4 force play to bring home Alvarez and give Charlotte a 2-1 lead, an advantage that would become 3-1 on Casey Gillespie’s two-out RBI single in the inning, his second hit of the night.

And Brad Goldberg made that stand up by escaping some two-out trouble in the bottom of the ninth, which started with another set of back-to-back singles by Kubitza and Scivicque, only to end when the right-hander bore down and got Luis Valenzuela to bounce out to second.

The out not only locked down Goldberg’s fifth save of the season, but also ended Ronald Acuña’s hitting streak at 14 games with the 19-year-old outfielder in the on deck circle following an 0-for-4 night.

Blackmon’s blast

North Gwinnett grad Charlie Blackmon’s two-run home run was part of a three-run ninth inning that lifted the visiting Colorado Rockies over the Atlanta Braves 7-6 on Saturday at SunTrust Park. His 31st homer of the season broke open a 4-4 game. The Braves countered with a two-run homer by Matt Adams in the bottom of the ninth but couldn’t close the gap.

In Brief

Brookwood’s Will Banfield makes USA Baseball 18U National Team MINNEAPOLIS — A busy summer will continue that way for Brookwood baseball standout Will Banfield, who was named as a member of the final 20-man roster for USA Baseball’s 18U National Team, the organization announced Friday.

The senior catcher, who also played in the UnderArmour All-American Game and the Perfect Game All-American Classic earlier this summer, will be a part of the team that will compete in the 2017 World Baseball Softball Confederation (WBSC) U-18 Baseball World Cup in Thunder Bay, Ontario, in Canada from Sept. 1-10.

Banfield was a first-team All-County selection by the Daily Post after hitting .409, with seven home runs, 33 RBIs, nine doubles, a 1.194 OPS and 30 runs scored for a Broncos team that advanced to the Class AAAAAAA state quarterfinals this past spring.

Ingram: NASCAR rookie Jones most likely to make playoff noise

By Jonathan Ingram The Sports Xchange

When I asked freshfaced Erik Jones during the preseason about the race for the rookie of the year, the tall kid from Michigan immediately looked beyond the question with sharp blue eyes.

“We’re looking at winning races,” he said. The rookie thing, he implied, would take care of itself.

Jones appears to be one part a young Darrell Waltrip in terms of intelligence and confidence and one part a young Jeff Gordon when it comes to mashing the gas in his rookie year.

Like Gordon before him, Jones has crashed often — six times in 24 starts. But he still leads Rookie of the Year contender Daniel Suarez by 37 points.

He hasn’t won yet and the pressure is on if he wants to make the playoffs.

The driver for Furniture Row Racing has finished second and third his last two races. But to advance in the postseason he needs to win at either Darlington on Labor Day weekend or in Richmond, the final race of the regular season.

At Bristol, Jones’ duels versus Kyle Busch and Matt Kenseth had some of an estimated 100,000 in attendance cheering on the young phenom — although some of that enthusiasm might have resulted from the disdain for Busch.

After leading 260 laps, Jones was both disappointed as the runner-up to Busch and elated by his team’s progress.

“It’s just unfortunate,” Jones said. “You try hard, you work hard all weekend, feel like you really had a good race car. Just when it comes down to it, you don’t have quite enough. You don’t have a chance to make it that much better. That part hurts.

“But I definitely feel like it’s boosted my own

confidence as well as the team’s confidence. I think the team’s really pumped up. We had great pit stops tonight. I don’t think we ever lost a spot. That’s a huge day for us. A lot of positives we can take out of tonight. The only negative is we just ran second.”

Bristol was circled on Jones’ calendar, because he has always liked racing on the high-banked bullring and was confident about what it took to run fast there. But absent the victory after starting on the pole, it now seems more likely that Jones will follow the path of some other recent talented rookies such as Chase Elliott and Ryan Blaney and go winless his first season.

Jones has little experience at Darlington and practically none at Richmond in a Monster Energy Cup car.

In the spring, a cut tire from jostling in traffic at the start took him out at lap five. Since he trails in the points, a victory is the only way to make the playoffs at a time when several other talented veterans are in the same boat such as Clint Bowyer and Joey Logano.

Plus, Kenseth and Jamie McMurray are looking to secure their place in the playoffs with a victory instead of relying on points.

“Darlington is going

to be tough for us,” Jones said. “Darlington is tough for anybody. I’ve only been there once. It doesn’t really fit how I drive. It doesn’t fit my style of racing. It’s something I’ve been learning. The low-grip tracks, wears out your tires really bad. I haven’t figured out 100 percent in these race cars what you need.

“Darlington will be a challenge, but Richmond will be good. I think we had a fast car there in the spring. We got a cut tire there on lap five or something. We have just need to, you know, have a good race at Richmond. I feel like I’ve learned a lot there the last few times I’ve been there and run a lot better.”

Like Gordon before him or Kyle Larson, Elliott and Blaney, I would bet Jones does not get a victory this season.

It would take a freak event to win at Darlington such as a rain-shortened race and it would be a minor miracle for Jones to come through at Richmond with so much on the line for so many drivers.

Once the playoffs start, the Top 16 will be all elbows and slide jobs, leaving little room for a non-playoff driver to break though.

But I would bet on the 21-year-old Jones becoming the first among the cadre of drivers under 25

to win a title before any of his peers.

He’s that good and Bristol confirmed it. He lost only because his Furniture Row team lead by Crew Chief Chris Gayle did not have quite enough experience to keep adjusting on the chassis as the 500-lap race wore on. As the race leader, they played it safe by not adjusting on Jones’ last stop.

But he didn’t have issues with endurance, restarts or going fenderto-fender with Kenseth and Busch, both previous champions.

Jones, of course, will replace Kenseth next year at Joe Gibbs Racing, which this year is looking for a fifth championship. Once in place alongside Busch and Denny Hamlin, Jones is a lock to start winning races. When it comes to titles, he has the right checkers or wreckers’ attitude needed during the stage racing era.

Short term, Jones has the solace from coming close at Bristol and the lesson learned about figuring out how to lose before realizing what it takes to win a Cup race.

“We lost this one,” he said afterward.

A quick rebound from disappointment is a hallmark of winners and Jones didn’t stay down on himself for long. Win or lose, the racing at Bristol was the sort of intensity he enjoys.

“Yeah, I mean, it takes you back to, you know, late model racing really more than anything,” Jones said. “You’re just on the gas. You’re not saving tires. You’re just hammer down and getting everything you can, which is a lot of fun. It’s hard on you as a driver, it wears you out, but you definitely have a lot of fun.

“If I had to rank it, this is probably the most fun I’ve had in a Cup race, for sure.”

No. 2 Murray pulls out of U.S. Open The Sports Xchange Second-ranked Andy Murray withdrew from the U.S. Open on Saturday because of a lingering hip problem.

Murray, who won the U.S. Open in 2012, has not played since his quarter-

final loss last month at Wimbledon, when he was affected by the hip injury in a loss to Sam Querrey.

Murray has played only one other match since the French Open.

Murray was ranked No. 1 since last November before being replaced atop

the rankings by Rafael Nadal last week.

Murray’s withdrawal robs the U.S. Open of another prominent men’s player.

No. 4-ranked Stan Wawrinka and No. 5 Novak Djokovic announced earlier this summer that

they will not play this year because of injuries.

The U.S. Open, which is the last of the year’s Grand Slam events, begins Monday. Nadal is seeded No. 1 and Roger Federer is No. 3, although Federer will be second-highest seed now that Murray is out.

Falcons fall in MBS preseason debut The Sports Xchange Speedy wide receiver John Brown proved that he could still get open as he led the Arizona Cardinals to a 24-14 victory over the Falcons on Saturday in the opening of $1.5 billion MercedesBenz Stadium in Atlanta.

Brown, who’s been battling a quad injury, hauled in a 28-yard touchdown pass from Carson Palmer and a 21-yarder from Drew Stanton.

Cardinals coach Bruce Arians sent a message to Brown last week, saying if he couldn’t get healthy enough to run at full speed, he was in danger of losing his job. Brown heard the message loud and clear.

The Cardinals passing attack was strong as Palmer completed 8 of 13

On the 28-yard touchdown pass, Brown got behind Falcons cornerback Janor Jones and free safety Ricardo Allen wasn’t able to get over the top in time to help.

On the 21-yard touchdown pass, Brown shook off a jam attempt from Falcons cornerback C.J. Goodwin and worked his way outside and up the field. Stanton threw a near perfect pass to Brown’s outside shoulder and he hauled the ball down for the score.

For the Falcons, the first-team offense struggled after scoring two touchdowns in the previous two exhibition games. Quarterback Matt Ryan tossed an interception on his first attempt of the game.

Ryan, the league’s reigning MVP, was looking to his left and then moved his eyes back inside and fired a pass that was deflected and intercepted by Arizona’s Tyrann Mathieu. Ryan was 4 of 11 for 36 yards with one interception and one dropped interception.

The Falcons tried be aggressive on a fourthand-3 from their 48, but Ryan’s pass intended for Terron Ward was incomplete. The offense continued to sputter under backup Matt Schaub, who couldn’t push the ball in the end zone after getting it on the 27-yard line and the Falcons had to settle for a 20-yard field goal.

Complete game coverage of Gwinnett County high school football

Knights edge Dacula 36-33

By Paul Thomas

paul.thomas@ gwinnettdailypost.com

LAWRENCEVILLE — Central Gwinnett head coach Todd Wofford already considers it a turnover when his offense has to punt.

But after Friday’s game against Dacula, he may swear off punting altogether. Central had a 16-yard punt from its own end zone in the first half and a botched snap on its own 10 in the second.

Yet, the Black Knights found a way to persevere Jarren in the secWilliams ond half, thanks a dynamic performance from quarterback Jarren Williams. Williams threw for 320 yards and three touchdowns, while rushing for 63 yards and two more scores in a 36-33 win over visiting Dacula in the Falcons’ season opener.

“That’s two weeks in a row that they’ve had to fight for four full quarters,” Wofford said. “Honestly, whatever emotions we’ve got right now, in years past we’d find a way to lose those close games instead of pulling it out to win it right there. Again, we needed everything that the offense gave us and we needed every stop that defense gave us. It was a group effort. The biggest thing we’ve got to clean up is the special teams errors.”

In the first half, Central (2-0) fumbled the ball away twice, on top of the short punt and five penalties. Yet it was still tied 14-14 at the half as Williams ran for an 18-yard score — after keeping the drive alive with a miraculous throw with a Dacula defender wrapped around his leg — and connected with Khamari Thompson for a 61-yard touchdown on a coverage bust by Dacula (0-1).

The lead changed six times in the second half.

Williams threw a 63-yard dime to Kaleb Pierce with 4:10 remaining in third quarter for a 23-21 lead following a safety from a botched punt by Dacula.

After the Falcons went back ahead with a 12-yard touchdown pass from Shayne Buckingham to Deontaye Brown, Williams answered with a 9-yard touchdown run, highlighted by a spin move at the line of scrimmage, with 11:45 remaining in the game for 29-27 lead after a missed extra point.

Tre McMillian (15 carries, 95 yards) produced the biggest offensive play of the night for Dacula with a 49-yard touchdown run with 8:32 remaining, but Williams wasn’t done for Central. He capped off an eight-play, 85-yard drive with an 11-yard touchdown pass to Jallah Zeze, who atoned with his short punt with a solid effort on defense and five catches for 82 yards on offense.

Williams, a senior Kentucky commit, completed 20 of 31 pass attempts for 320 yards and ran the ball 15 times for 63 yards. It was his second straight 300-yard passing game after throwing for 31 in a 28-24 win at South Gwinnett last week.

“I know there’s a couple quarterbacks they say are better, but I want to see them do that stuff against the competition we play,” Wofford said. “These teams we play week in and week out are the best teams in the state of Georgia and

he’s doing this stuff against them. There’s no cupcakes on the schedule. … This guy is putting the team on his back. It’s a group effort, but he’s doing stuff when we’re on offense that you can’t coach.

“We don’t coach that.

Those two spin moves, that’s the C-button. That’s the video game C-button he’s doing out there. It makes you laugh some times when you see the things he does just natural by instinct.”

Williams’ top target was Thompson, who had eight catches for 132 yards and 120 yards on four kickoff returns, even with another return of 50 yards or more called back due on a penalty.

Dacula jumped out to a 14-0 lead early in the game on a 17-yard pass form Buckingham to Kenny Severe (three catches for 96 yards) and a 10-yard fumble return by Jaiev Khan. Dacula’s only other drive into Central territory ended with a Tyan Milton interception for Central in the end zone.

In the second half the Falcons offense found its footing a bit. It regained the lead 21-14 after Central’s snap flew over Zeze’s head on a punt attempt.

Two plays later Buckingham connected with Sean McDaniel, who also recovered a fumble in the first half, for a 7-yard score.

Buckingham threw for 131 yards and three touchdowns with an interception. He also ran the ball 11 times for 60 yards, but was plagued by cramps in the fourth quarter. That forced sophomore Jarret Jenkins into action for the final drive of the game.

The Falcons took over at their own 22 with 2:14 left in the game, down three after forcing a turnover on downs by the Central offense.

Jenkins moved the ball to the Central 39 with a 10yard run and a hands to the face penalty on the Black Knights. Facing a fourthand-10 with 43 seconds left in the game, Buckingham returned for a final play. But the senior never got a chance to make a play as the snap sailed over his head and ended any chance for seventh secondhalf lead change.

“Really proud of our kids and their effort,” Dacula head coach Tommy Jones said. “Obviously we’re disappointed with the execution. Typical first game. We made a lot of mistakes, but fortunately for us those mistakes are fixable. But like I said, couldn’t be any prouder of the effort. Our guys hung in there and continued to battle and continued to fight and show that Dacula resolve. We’ll go back to work on Monday.”

Booth, last year’s Gwinnett County interceptions leader, checked in on offense at receiver and beat the opposing corner on a go-route down the right side and caught a 41-yard bullet from Carter Peevy (14-for-23, 186 yds, 1 TD) to make it 31-7. “(Booth) has Godgiven ability and is just an explosive player,” Dyer said. “He’s got good speed but most importantly, he has a ton of football savvy.

The Lions took over with a little over a minute left in the half and tried to salvage some offense before the intermission.

And after the next Peachtree Ridge drive, Booth made another electric play to put his final stamp on a masterful Archer performance.

“We’re out to get respect. …Our confidence is out of the roof. It feels amazing.

Lanier (1-1) opened the game with an 11-play, 50yard drive that was aided by three offsides penalties and a defensive holding by South. Terrell Smith ended the Longhorns’ scoring threat by intercepting Zach Calzada’s pass at the 10.

Calzada was 8 of 34 passing for 131 yards and five interceptions.

After South went threeand-out, the Longhorns began to put together another drive, but it was halted by Siraye’s interception. The senior returned it 60 yards for a touchdown to put the Comets ahead 7-0 with 30 seconds left in the first quarter.

“We worked on that all last week. That’s something we focused on,” Davenport said. “Tchatcha was in the right spot and caught the ball and ran it back.

That got us off the schneid a little bit. We have some work to do on offense.”

Lanier finally put a positive drive together, moving the ball to the Comets’ 9, but had to settle for a 26yard field goal by Michael Decu to make it a 7-3 game.

SUGAR HILL — After last week’s season opening loss, South Gwinnett head coach Steve Davenport challenged his secondary to be more physical.

The unit responded on Friday at Lanier High School. South’s secondary had five interceptions as the Comets defeated the Longhorns 17-7.

The victory gave Davenport his first win as the Comets’ head coach after spending the last three seasons as WoodlandStockbridge head coach.

“It feels great. We talked to the kids about losing that first game. It’s always a disappointment and you start questioning yourself, but it was good we got back and fought hard,” Davenport said. “That’s a pretty good Lanier football team. We are just happy to get out of here with a win and get ready for a big game against Brookwood now.”

South (1-1) got two interceptions from Jaden Woods, while Tchatcha Siraye, Alpha Fofana and Terrell Smith each had an interception.

Siraye returned his for a 60-yard touchdown and also had half a sack with Armond Williams. Three of Lanier’s five drives in the first half ended with interceptions and two of the turnovers led to South Gwinnett points.

“It all starts up front.

When those guys are coming at you, the quarterback has got to get a little nervous and get the ball out of his hands is his thought,” Davenport said.

“It all starts up front and then the guys have to catch

North loses Fortin, but Urzua guides winning TD drive

Blalock gained 105 receiving yards on seven catches.

However, the Broncos defense surrendered the play of the half as receiver Kendall Alford added a touchdown pass to his 103 first half receiving yards.

The sophomore receiver fielded a backwards pass from Kirksey and found Chandler Jones open down the left sideline for a 47yard TD to end the half.

Walton opened the second half by recovering a surprise onside kick and gaining possession at the Brookwood 32-yard line, but the Bronco defense stiffened, forcing a 32yard field goal attempt that sailed wide left to keep it at a one-possession game.

The Broncos spoiled a promising nine-play drive that stalled in Walton territory as a 24-yard field goal attempt was disrupted due to a bad snap. Four plays later, Soyoye put the Broncos in a two-score hole as he ran through Brookwood’s line and avoided a last ditch tackle attempt at the 5-yard line for a 44yard TD run.

As would be the case for most of the night, the Broncos offense responded, this time in the form for a nine-play, 76-yard drive ending in Black’s

second rushing score of the night. It was once again up to the Broncos defense but Walton marched right down the field in eight plays as Kirksey hit Alford on a screen pass and watched the receiver weave through Broncos defenders and into the end zone for a 42-28 lead.

“Really proud of our offensive line. … They stepped up to the challenge and played big tonight,” Jones said.

Black scored for the third time to go along with his 135 rushing yards, to cut the lead to seven but Walton salted the game away and ran out the clock to claim the win.

Hill led all players with 171 yards on the ground, Kirksey passed for a gamehigh 285 yards. The Broncos surrendered 453 yards of total offense and six plays of 20 yards or more.

Despite the loss, Brookwood still has a its goal of a region title in front of it, a fact not lost on Jones.

“We are going to keep battling,” Jones said. “We are in non-region play. …

I trust our guys. We have a great group of kids. …

(Tonight) we will get back to work and keep fighting our tail off. It is not the start that we wanted but the finish is most important.”

MILTON — North Gwinnett was faced with another razor-thin loss in a fourth quarter shootout, but the Bulldogs were not going to let it happen again.

Backup quarterback Jimmy Urzua, who took over late in the opening quarter for injured starter Cade Fortin, Tyler Goodson directed a 15-play, 76-yard drive that consumed all but 12 seconds of the final five minutes as the Bulldogs pulled out a 31-28 victory Friday night over Milton.

The final was the same score as last week’s heartbreaking loss to Walton.

“Our guys hung tough,” first-year North Gwinnett head coach Bill Stewart said. “A lot of guys stepped up after the injury to Cade. They’re just special.”

Urzua, a senior, smoothly engineered the winning drive, connecting with running back Tyler Goodson for 10 yards to the Milton 3-yard line on fourth-and-6. Goodson, who had two key runs earlier in the drive, scored on a 3-yard run for the winning points.

“We’re very comfortable with Jimmy,” Stewart said. “Cade’s a great player and I feel for him.”

Fortin suffered what appeared to be a severe lower leg injury when sacked, and Urzua went the rest of the way.

The Bulldogs trailed 21-10 after Milton scored on a 31-yard pass from Jordan Yates to running back Solomon Vanhorse on the first play of the fourth quarter.

Less than 90 seconds later, North Gwinnett led 24-21 thanks to some trickery and a Milton mistake. Goodson hit a wide open L.J. Fisher on a double pass for 66 yards and a touchdown on the first play of the Bulldogs’ next possession. The North Gwinnett defense accounted for the go-ahead score when D’Armani Ridley picked up a fumble after a botched handoff inside the Eagles’ 5 and dived into the end zone.

The Eagles were forced to punt on their next series after a penalty turned a fourth-and-5 from the Bulldogs’ 40 into fourthand-11. But Milton got the back at the North 40 after intercepting Urzua for a second time.

Yates hit running back D.J. Albright for 37 yards and scored on a 1-yard sneak to put the Eagles back on top 28-24 with 5:07 to play.

The Bulldogs responded with the winning drive, putting together a nicely balanced march that produced five first downs and two third-down conversions with no gain longer than 12 yards.

North had 50 of its 101 rushing yards on the game on the 76-yard

drive. The Bulldogs finished with 237 yards passing, with Urzua 12 of 24 for 148 yards The first half was about as even as could be except on the scoreboard, with Milton leading 14-7 at the break. The Bulldogs had six first downs to five for the Eagles, with Milton holding slim margins in plays (30-27) and yards gained (141138). Both teams hit long touchdowns, three one interception each, had a punt blocked, failed on fourth down in the opponents’ territory and both missed field goals while committing five penalties apiece.

The difference was that Milton took advantage of its punt block, scoring after taking over on the North Gwinnett 7. After a penalty pushed the Eagles back to the 16, Yates hit a closely covered Vanhorse in the end zone for the score, with passes to Milton’s running backs accounting for much of the Milton offense.

The Eagles scored first on a 57-yard strike from Yates to wide receiver Dash Hairston, who got well behind the North secondary.

The TD catch by Vanhorse put Milton ahead 14-0 early in the second period, but the Bulldogs responded with a 48-yard catch-and-run from Urzua to Josh Downs to close within 14-7.

The Bulldogs put together a nice drive to start the second half, but had to settle for Cameron Clark’s 38-yard field goal after Urzua was sacked on third-and-3 from the Milton 12.

Milton went 80 yards in five plays to increase its lead to 21-10, with Vanhorse and Albright ripping off consecutive runs of 27 and 15 yards before Yates found Vanhorse all alone down the middle of the field for 31 yards and the score.

The Eagles, 1-1 after an impressive opening win over rival Alpharetta, finished with 312 yards offense, but other than the yardage gained by their two running backs on the ground and as receivers, the Bulldogs’ defense played well, with defensive back Warren Burrell contributing an interception, a blocked punt and several other key plays.

Cedar Shoals 22, Discovery 12 LAWRENCEVILLE — The Cedar Shoals Jaguars opened their football season Friday night with a hard-fought 22-12 win over the Discovery Titans.

It was a game of turnovers and missed opportunities for both teams.

The Jaguars had over 100 yards in penalties and a turnover while the Titans had two very costly turnovers.

“One play turned the whole game around tonight,” Discovery head coach Efrem Hill said. “I preach to the kids all the time how every play can decide a win or a loss.”

Down 7-0, Khiree Seabrook hauled in two passes from Alex Drazic to move the Titans into Cedar Shoals territory. Drazic then connected with Jason Mitchell over the middle on a 40-yard TD pass.

The PAT by Drazic failed and the Titans trailed 7-6 with 9:02 remaining in the second quarter.

Cedar Shoals fumbled the ensuing kickoff and Kobe Johnson recovered at the Jaguars’ 38-yard line.

The Titans took advantage of the opportunity.

Drazic capped a nine-play scoring drive as he scored on a 1-yard TD run. The PAT failed and Discovery led for the first time 12-7 with 4:47 remaining in the second quarter.

The Titans got received a break as the Jaguars punt settled on the Cedar Shoals 48. However, momentum shifted as Drazic tried to hit Seabrook in the flat, and the incomplete pass was ruled a backward lateral. Cameron Hudson picked up the loose ball and sprinted 74 yards for the Jaguar TD. Colbert converted the two-point conversion to give Cedar Shoals the lead 15-12 with 2:13 left in the third quarter.

Cedar Shoals then put together a long, 19-play scoring drive and pushed its lead to 22-12 with 3:24 to play.

Discovery moved the ball down the field frantically trying to score on their last possession.

Drazic completed numerous passes to several different receivers however he was intercepted with 35 seconds remaining in

the game to end the Titan hopes.

“Coach Hill has done a great job with the Titans,” Jaguar head coach Leroy Ryals said. “They are a much better team than what we saw in the past.

They compete hard and we enjoy playing them. We just made the stops we had to make tonight and seized momentum when the opportunity presented itself.”

Parkview 69, Shiloh 0 LILBURN — Parkview racked up 533 total yards of offense Friday and kept its foot on the pedal all game as it defeated Shiloh 69-0 in a battle of former region foes at The Big Orange Jungle.

The Panthers (2-0) jumped on the Generals early, scoring on all seven of their first-half drives.

“It’s a great team win for us,” said Parkview head coach Eric Godfree.

“I’m proud of our kids and the all-around energy.

They showed great focus in practice all week.”

Starting on Shiloh’s 39 on its first drive, Parkview got to work. A 29-yard rush by Demetrius West put the Panthers inside the red zone with Malik Washington (117 total yards, 2 TDs) taking it into the end zone from the 11 to put the Panthers up 7-0.

After forcing the Generals to punt, the Panthers’ offense struck quickly as Tommy Rogers broke through four tackles for a 29-yard scoring run on the third play of the drive.

Penalties got in the way of the Generals’ defense the next time they were on the field, as a defensive offsides call on third down, and two-straight pass interference penalties gave the Panthers the ball on the 9-yard line. Three plays later, West (119 total yards, 2 TDs) barreled into the end zone from the 1 to put the Panthers up 21-0.

Shiloh (0-2) looked to get something going on its next drive as it drove all the way down to the 2-yard line, thanks in part to quarterback Jase Ivey completing four passes for 54 yards and rushing for another 32 yards. However, a fumble on the 2 was recovered by Parkview’s Jonathan Adams, giving the ball right back to the Panthers.

Quarterback Fred Payton was 14-for-17 for 188 yards.

•From Page 1B The Rams looked like they would answer with a 10-play drive that moved the ball from their own 25 to the Hoover 10 early in the second quarter.

But after picking up one fourth-down conversion, Grayson was stuffed for a 2-yard loss on another fourth-down play, giving Hoover the ball back on its own 12.

The Buccaneers then marched 60 yard in nine plays, and even though they settled for another Pickering field goal — this one a 45-yarder with 4:08 left in the first half — they had cut the Rams’ lead to just one score at 14-6 heading into intermission.

Still, it looked like Grayson was in control after the defense got a quick three-and-out, and the Rams’ offense needed just four plays to go 47 yards and reclaim a twopossession lead at 21-6 on Thompkins’ second TD of the night, this one from 28 yards out with just 2:22 gone in the third quarter.

But with the Rams’ lead at 28-13 heading into the final frame, Hoover made its move.

A 31-yard completion from Parker to Auburn commit George Pickens on fourth down kept a 13-play drive alive, allowing Larry McCammon a chance to score from a yard out to pull the Bucs to within 2820 with 10:01 still remaining.

Another big completion, this one a 57-yard hook up from Parker to Jackson, brought Hoover back into the red zone again.

That’s where McCammon, who finished the night with 102 yards on 13 carries, found the end zone for the third time on a 4-yard run that pulled the Bucs as close as 28-26 with 7:07 left.

Even when Jaylen Haynes picked off Parker’s two-point conversion pass to keep the Rams in front, Hoover had all the momentum until Grayson got the ball back in its own territory with less than five minutes remaining.

And the 6-foot-6 LSU commit snagged the ball before it hit the ground before outracing the Hoover secondary to the end zone for a 71-yard score to push the Rams’ lead back to a more comfortable 35-26 with 3:54 left.

It was just the opportunity to contribute that Jackson was looking for.

“I told the coaches, ‘Just give me the ball, and I’ll go (all) out,” said Jackson, who finished the night with 85 yards on three catches.

“They gave me the opportunity, and I took advantage. I had to dig real low to get that ball.”

Working together Gwin Oaks, Cannon UMC partnership means volunteering in name of Jesus

Marian Zanardo, a volunteer from Cannon United Methodist Church, helps Gwin Oaks Elementary kindergartner Nyla Dansby with reading fundamentals at the start of the school year earlier this month. Cannon has partnered with Gwin Oaks since 2008 to offer several dozen volunteers throughout the school to help students and teachers. (Photos: Keith Farner)

Pictures of dozens of volunteers from Cannon United Methodist Church hang on a bulletin board inside the Parent Center at Gwin Oaks Elementary where books and other resources are stocked for students to check out.

Cannon United Methodist Church volunteer Janis Ivie helps second-grader Eythan Brown check out a book in the media center earlier this month. Ivie is one of dozens of volunteers from Cannon who spend time at Gwin Oaks Elementary throughout the school year.

By Keith Farner • Staff Correspondent Walk the halls of Gwin Oaks Elementary in any given classroom, and chances are a volunteer from Cannon United Methodist Church is in the room or around the corner.

They may be making copies, stuffing bags with gummy bears or reading with a kindergartener.

All in the name of Jesus.

It’s a partnership that sprung out of the economic downturn about nine years ago when many Gwin Oaks parents had to find jobs, and sometimes second or third jobs to make ends meet. That led to a void of parent support in the school.

The pastor at Cannon at the time, Tom Elliott, told the congregation that “disciple” in the church is a verb, meaning church members should go out into the the community to serve others.

That struck something in the heart of Claire Collins, a Cannon member and a music teacher at Gwin Oaks.

Will Zant, who just started his fifth year as a co-senior pastor at the church, said the reason for the partnership’s success is because the church asked what the school needed, not what the church needed.

“I tell our church, we’re asking you to cut and laminate for Jesus,” he said of the church that has about 650 people attend on a given Sunday. “If you’re trying to figure out how to change the world, you don’t have to do all these grand things.”

Collins, who has worked at Gwin Oaks for 15 years and is now the music teacher, knew of plenty of ways the church could help at Gwin Oaks, including reading to students and serving as room moms to coordinate activities. There’s also a program called Reading Partners, where one adult, who is trained in helping students read, comes to read with one student during the course of the school year.

Cannon volunteers have expanded their roles around the school, and there are more than 100 people who do at least one task throughout the year. On most weeks, there are some 35 volunteers in the school. Leading up to the start of this school year, there was a team of about 15 people who combined to work more than 60 hours doing clerical work for kindergarten

“

I tell our church, we’re asking you to cut and laminate for Jesus. If you’re trying to figure out how to change the world, you don’t have to do all these grand things.”

and first-grade teachers.

Because of limited parking at the school, Cannon also offers three shuttle buses from off-site parking for evening events at the school. Collins said that’s one example that initially appeared impossible, but between the PTA, school staff and administration and church representatives, they brainstormed to find a solution.

Collins said that some volunteers have come long enough to establish a rapport with the teachers, and they now communicate directly.

“The kindergarten teacher knows she needs that help, and she’s so thankful to have that,” Collins said. “Whenever they go somewhere, the teacher’s at the front, and the Cannon volunteer’s at the back. They make sure all the little babies are in the line.”

Collins also noted that the volunteers are one reason why students have improved their reading skills to be on grade level or beyond.

Because Gwin Oaks is not a Title I school, it doesn’t receive federal funding for something like a parent resource center, also known as a legacy center, which is stocked with books and other educational materials like DVDs, games and flash cards. Enter Cannon again, which factored into its “second mile” giving campaign 10 percent of the money raised to go toward community missions.

Collins, who is a Cannon member, said she could allocate a certain amount of money to a specific project as long as Cannon wasn’t See volunteers, Page 7C

lifestyles No ifs, ands or butts: This procedure can save lives No one is quite as annoying as a true believer — especially if that individual is also a convert.

You know — the couch potato who took up Crossfit.

The chronic over-indulger who dropped 100 pounds.

The 35-year-old drop-out who went back to college.

These are the folks who are constantly regaling us — at church, at family get-togethers, in the hallway — with the righteousness of their cause, while we squirm and pray for a merciful death.

Well I hate to tell you, but I have become one of those people. And I am here to

Rob Jenkins preach to you today about something far worse than exercising, dieting or studying. I am here to talk about — drum roll, please …

Colonoscopies.

For six years, I ignored my doctor’s warnings and my wife’s urging. I was

waiting, I said, for those little swallowable cameras.

I hedged by taking other tests, like the fecal matter test (which involved dipping a swab in your own — never mind) and the DNA blood test.

Then my DNA test came back positive. Now there’s a word you don’t want to hear in connection with any kind of cancer test.

As my doctor explained, “positive” didn’t necessarily mean I had colon cancer.

It just meant certain DNA “markers” indicated I might be at higher risk. The only way to really know, she said, was to get the ultimate

test, a colonoscopy.

If there was a problem, they could catch it early and take care of it. Or I could take my chances on dying young of preventable causes. My choice.

I decided to get a colonoscopy.

First, I made an appointment with the gastroenterologist, who asked a number of probing questions. Then I scheduled the procedure — and actually went through with it.

Or, should I say, it went through me.

It’s true, you know: The prep really is the worst part. Starting at 4 p.m. the day before, I had to drink about two liters of seawater

mixed with lemonade (at least, that’s what it tasted like). By 8, I felt like Albus Dumbledore, reluctantly choking down the potion to get to the horcrux — only with no wizards in sight.

Then came several hours of — well, let’s just say “system flushing.” Use your imagination. Honestly, though, it wasn’t as bad as anticipated. I’ve experienced worse after a latenight enchilada bender.

Moreover, the procedure itself, the next morning, was a piece of cake. I just went to sleep on a gurney (with the help of some excellent drugs) and when I woke up, it was over.

Fortunately, my scan

came back clean. Words can’t express the peace of mind that brings me. I only wish I hadn’t waited so long.

So if you’re over 50 and are putting off your colonoscopy because you dread the whole process, get over it. There’s an excellent chance everything will come out all right in the end.

8 p.m. on TVLAND 2017 MTV Video Music Awards

1 p.m. on ESPN 2017 U.S. Open Tennis The USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in Flushing, N.Y., takes center stage for the final tennis Grand Slam event of the year, the U.S. Open. Angelique Kerber defends her 2016 women’s singles title, although she has struggled through this season. Defending men’s singles champion Stan Wawrinka of Switzerland will miss the event with an injury. He joins Novak Djokovic and Serena Williams, who is pregnant, as major players sitting this one out.

9 p.m. on CW Hooten & the Lady Hooten and Alex (Michael Landes, Ophelia Lovibond) travel to Cambodia on a quest to find a rare and priceless gem, but their mission soon draws the decidedly unwanted attention of a ruthless drug band in the new episode “Cambodia.” Jane Seymour, Jonathan Bailey and Shaun Parkes also star.

Katy Perry is host, performer and a nominee in this glittery annual awards ceremony from The Forum in Inglewood, Calif. Perry’s nominated in five categories, as is another artist scheduled to perform, The Weeknd. That puts them tied for second, however, to a third of tonight’s performers: Kendrick Lamar, nominated in eight categories.

Also set to perform are Ed Sheeran, Miley Cyrus, Lorde, Fifth Harmony, Shawn Mendes and Thirty Seconds to Mars.

“They don’t understand the global part of it, but they understand that that person comes here to read with me,” Collins said.

“That’s really special that a kid feels that someone comes to school just to read to them. The more that we can do to make kids feel special in that way, we should not hesitate to continue doing that.”

What began as a replacement for diminishing numbers of volunteers has flourished in nearly a decade.

“It’s turned into something much greater than we all even could dream that it would be,” Collins said. “Now it’s the parents, the families and the Cannon volunteers and the kids and teachers and the administrators all working together.”

A first-grade friend, a lasting impression Bobby Baker was the most memorable kid in my first grade class. I spent 12 years matriculating with Bobby but it was in the first months of those school years that he carved an impression on me that would always bring a smile or gentle laugh when I remembered him.

Since that June night when we threw our caps upward in the high school gym, cheered to the torture behind us, tossed a wave goodbye, and hurried off in separate directions, I have thought about Bobby hundreds of times.

I remember 6-year-old Bobby, shuffling into Mrs. Crosley’s class from one

Ronda Rich of the school’s four buses, the one that was always last to arrive. He wore dark or tan jeans with a striped, crewneck shirt that was always neatly tucked and belted while a pair of white-trimmed black Keds slapped rhythmically against the wood floor. His dark brown hair was cut into shim-

mering layers that swept across his forehead just above hazel-colored eyes that had an impeccable, constant glint. A row of perfect teeth were hidden behind the tight-lipped smile.

It was not a crush that I had on Bobby Baker.

It was more serious than that. I had admiration for him. He was a charming character. I am always drawn to interesting people and perhaps it all started with Bobby Baker.

He was entertaining without being the center of attention. He simply was who he was and it was different enough from the rest of us farm kids to be special. In his book

satchel, like the rest of us, he toted a Blue Horse tablet with wide-spaced lines, a fat pencil, crayons, and books about dinosaurs.

Bobby was riveted by dinosaurs, something I had never heard of until I met him. He talked with great authority about these odd-looking creatures and enthusiastically shared his picture books about dinosaurs. For show and tell, he brought his dinosaur models and gave expert talks.

He was the only kid in the class who was passionate about something.

The rest of us were still pretty much astray in the maze of things to be discovered. But Bobby,

at six, already knew a lot about dinosaurs while the rest of us were experts only in recess.

Bobby Baker stayed in trouble with Mrs. Crosley.

Since I was preoccupied with my own trouble with Mrs. Crosley — I couldn’t understand why I shouldn’t make a face at Kathy Couch or talk frequently to her cousin, Lisa — I don’t know why Bobby was sometimes standing in the corner, summoned to the principal or, on occasion, being paddled in the hallway.

If a child had been particularly bad, Mrs. Crosley had a fourfoot long, stuffed, gray mouse’s tail with a big safety pin attached. Bobby Baker was the only one who ever ascended to that degree of punishment and both times it happened, it had to do with untruths.

Not that Bobby lied. He did not. He had an active imagination. He was a superb storyteller.

One day, the tail pinned to his jeans and bobbing along behind him, he took his place in the lunch room line. He was proudly

defiant, smiling without shame or disgrace. He held his head high.

I knew when I saw his confidence and sly smile, that Bobby Baker would always be my hero.

He straightened up after the first grade and became a bit more conventional.

Or perhaps it was that the teachers who followed were less exacting about model behavior and more accepting of that constant glint and mischievous smile. He took his love for prehistoric times all the way to a master’s degree in history.

“Did you see the obits?” asked Jerry Truelove.

“Was that Bobby Baker from our class?”

The moment I saw the photo, I knew it was. He still had the same glint in his eyes and mischievous smile.

I’m glad life had not stolen that from such a wonderful kid.

The hand-blown bottle was labeled with the year 1787 and the word “Lafitte,” a top French vineyard, etched into the glass. The wine was taken from a bricked-up cellar in Paris hundreds of years ago. It eventually became one of the most expensive bottles of wine ever sold.

Also etched into the bottle were the initials “T.H.J.” Many wine experts concluded the bottle belonged to Thomas Jefferson. Jefferson was America’s Minister to France between 1785 and the French Revolution. After his return from France, Jefferson had several bottles of French wine delivered to the states for himself and George Washington.

The bottle of Lafitte sold for £105,000, or $157,000 U.S. dollars, in 1985 to Christopher Forbes, son of Malcolm Forbes. In today’s dollars it would be $350,000. After the auction, other serious collections sought out Jefferson bottles. There’s speculation as to whether all the bottles labeled as such are legitimate Jefferson bottles. Yet, they still go for astronomical sums because people are captivated by the story.

When Patrick Radden Keep wrote about the Lafitte Jefferson bottle in the New Yorker in 2007, the article was widely shared. While most readers aren’t going to shell out the price of a starter home for a bottle of wine, the buzz was about the story. Notice it wasn’t the bouquet of the wine that got people talking, it was the mystique of the people involved.

It’s the same thing with art. When there’s a story, it becomes more valuable. Take Van Gogh’s famous “Portrait of Dr. Gachet” for example. A nice painting no doubt, but art lovers fawn over the story behind it. Van Gogh painted the portrait of the doctor he stayed with after he was released from the asylum. The two had a complex relationship through anxiety and mental illness, eventually culminating in the famous painting. The same goes for Marilyn Monroe’s dress or Benjamin Franklin’s glasses. The story matters almost more than

“

If you want to differentiate, find your story and start telling it.”

the piece itself.

The lesson applies to more than just artifacts collected by the rich and famous. The same thing applies to your career or your business. A story will differentiate you.

I remember one of the most effective elementary school principals I’ve ever met telling me when she was a kindergartener, she was sitting in class one day looking at bored kids around the room, thinking, “School could be much better than this.”

Picturing her as a 5-yearold imagining all the ways her teacher could be more engaging, makes me smile every time I think about it. That little girl went on to become a kindergarten teacher herself, ultimately getting a PhD, and becoming a principal, then later a mentor to new principals. Whenever I think about her, I think about her story. It makes me value her even more.

You may think of yourself or your organization as a plain old bottle of grocery store wine. But chances are, you’ve been places and done things that make you interesting.

Ask yourself, how did your organization start?

Why did you choose your profession? Why does this matter to you? If you want to differentiate, find your story and start telling it.

When people know your story, they’ll value you and your business a whole lot more.
