Man indicted in murder of Norcross father of 8

BY ISABEL HUGHES isabel.hughes@gwinnettdailypost.com

An Ellenwood man who was arrested last year after police linked him to several violent crimes has been indicted in the shooting death of a Norcross father of eight.

Late last month, a grand jury indicted 35-year-old Charles Bacote, who is also known as “Carlos” Charles or “Los,” on charges Bacote of felony murder and aggravated assault in connection with the Jan. 14, 2018, murder of 42-year-old Joseph Lamont Love, who was gunned down inside an apartment on Rockbridge Court in unincorporated Norcross shortly before 1:30 p.m. that day.

About a month after the murder, on Feb. 12, 2018, Bacote was booked into the Gwinnett County Jail on charges of aggravated assault stemming from a Nov. 12, 2017 incident on Sarah Court in unincorporated Norcross, according to Gwinnett County Police Sgt. Jake Smith.

Sheriff’s Office to host blood drive in honor of Officer Toney

BY ISABEL HUGHES isabel.hughes@gwinnettdailypost.com

The Gwinnett County Sheriff’s Office is hosting a blood drive in memory of Gwinnett County Police Department Officer Antwan Toney, who was gunned down in October, the agency recently announced.

The drive, which will be held on Feb. 26, will run from noon to Antwan 6 p.m. at the jail, the Toney sheriff’s office wrote in a social media post.

“Officer Antwan Toney honorably served the Gwinnett County Police Department for three years before he was shot and killed while investigating a suspicious vehicle,” the Facebook post said. “In addition to his infectious smile, Officer Toney was known for his commitment to serving the community and always going the extra step to instill a positive impression of law enforcement, especially See BLOOD DRIVE, Page 6A

A (Valentine’s) day to remember

Every year for the last 20 years, come Valentine’s Day, Alice Ashman dons her wedding dress — a dress that was made nearly 45 years ago — and joins her husband, Bob Ashman, before a judge.

“We’ve been (renewing our vows) since about ’99, I think,” Bob Ashman said.

“It’s a reminder to me I’ve got to walk the talk.”

“Before he retired, I made him take the day off on the 14th,” Alice Ashman interjected, laughing. “This isn’t our real anniversary, that’s in June, but (in 1999), we saw (vow renewals) were free on the 14th, and I haven’t let him stop.”

Most years, the Ashmans have renewed their vows at Gwinnett County Magistrate Court.

This year, however, the duo joined more than six dozen other couples at Lawrenceville’s Isaac Adair House, which played host to weddings and vow renewal ceremonies throughout the

Woman charged in fatal New Pain Killer Tested on 139 Top Athletes Gets wreck in Norcross area PAID ADVERTISEMENT

Patent from US Gov’t

NOW AVAILABLE TO ALL CITIZENS: pill works to reduce pain, swelling, and stiffness while triggering new cartilage growth - no prescription needed

By Wayne B. Roberts — Associate Health Press No one knows more about muscle and joint pain than competitive athletes.

While pain from muscle and connective tissue injury can be serious, it pales in comparison to the deep-down, throbbing pain of joint damage, especially in the cartilagerich areas around the knees, hips and shoulders.

Tramaline does for old knees what prescription reading glasses do for old eyes.

It’s so powerful, in fact, that some patients in clinical trials experienced complete remission of pain!

It’s a special form of highly absorbable collagen, the same stuff that lines the inside of joints, lubricating and reducing friction, and keeping them ‘young.’

This joint-loving substance possesses multiple patents, yet it is still prescription-free.

Ends Pain in 30 Days?

Ryan Shelton, MD, a practicing physician in Seattle, Washington, is one of many healthcare professionals who recommend fast-acting Tramaline.

“We’ve finally found a pill that relieves swelling… lubricates joints for easier movement... and protects against cartilage destruction, all without side effects,” he says.

Erik Wood, MD, a medical doctor in Miami, Florida, agrees.

“If you find it difficult to grip objects or to exercise with ease, prescriptionfree Tramaline is for you.”

A 54-year-old Stone Mountain woman has been charged with vehicular homicide and driving under the influence in connection with a three-vehicle crash that killed one woman and injured two others near Norcross on Monday night.

Georgia State Patrol troopers responded to the crash, which occurred on Beaver Ruin Road near Buford Highway in unincorporated Norcross at about 9:30

II, the active ingredient in Tramaline, stops joint pain before it strikes by deploying a sophisticated, enzymatic attack.

UC-II in Tramaline works with your body to pull the wool over the eyes of pain receptors in sore, stiff joints, blocking the inflow of inflammatory chemicals.

By ‘shutting off’ the pipeline of immune fluids that cause your knees and joints to swell up and get hot with inflammation, once-swollen knees and joints return to normal size, so you can move and flex more easily.

One user said it felt like he sprayed WD-40 in his knees and elbows!

Reduced Swelling, Lubricates Stiff Joints

Tramaline stimulates synovial fluid health, lubricating a healthier joint for free-swinging flexibility.

There’s more, Tramaline can also signal your body to jump-start the joint-repair process.

UC-II is a prime building block for cartilage and synovial fluid around your joint problem areas.

Users like 60-year-old Terry O. see noticeable, real benefits in just a few weeks.

For years, Terry treated her knee pain by taking an impressive amount of NSAIDs. It wasn’t too long before she began to experience stomach problems.

NSAIDs Eat Stomach Tissue

“I knew all the aspirin and other pain relievers would eventually do a number on my stomach, but like an idiot, I just kept taking them,” she said, shaking her head.

Terry’s physician told her to quit NSAIDs and recommended that she consider a knee replacement.

Naturally Restore Your Knee or Surgically Replace It?

“I have two friends who both had knee replacements,” says Terry, “and they told me to not do it. They said the pain was excruciating and that their knees got worse!”

Terry’s daughter-in-law told her about Tramaline and how it could quickly repair her knee, ending her joint pain.

Painful Shot or Pill?

“My daughter-in-law said to give it a chance.

She said in studies Tramaline’s active ingredient was as effective as a cortisone shot. And she was right, my knee feels better than ever,” says Terry.

If you are living with pain and not getting the relief you need, here’s your opportunity to experience the joint revitalizing phenomenon called Tramaline with UC-II, completely riskfree.

No Pain, More Sleep

Tramaline reigns in out-of-control immune systems, reducing swelling, jump-starting joint repair, and ending pain. You’ll sleep better at night, and be more active during the day.

world&nation World Theresa May suffers another Brexit defeat British Prime Minister Theresa May was dealt another humiliating blow Thursday as lawmakers voted against the latest incarnation of her Brexit plan.

While the vote was merely symbolic, parliament’s refusal to reaffirm its support for May’s approach to negotiations with the European Union represented another setback for the government as it attempts to reopen the terms of its Brexit deal with the EU. Lawmakers voted 303 to 258 against the government’s motion, which included an amendment on renegotiating the Irish backstop — a contentious part of the deal — along with a non-binding amendment to prevent a no-deal Brexit.

NBA, Sky accuse Saudi Arabia of harboring pirates American sports leagues and Europe’s top pay-TV broadcaster have accused Saudi Arabia of allowing a streaming service to pirate their content.

The National Basketball Association, the U.S. Tennis Association and a group representing the National Football League, Major League Baseball and the National Hockey League have filed complaints with the U.S. government over the alleged violations.

The leagues have filed submissions with the United States Trade Representative in recent days asking for Saudi Arabia to be placed on a “Priority Watch List” of countries that do not protect intellectual property rights.

Comcast’s Sky has made a similar complaint.

McConnell: Trump to declare emergency

Avenatti says tape shows R. Kelly having sex with underage girl

By Kaitlan Collins, Kevin Liptak and Ted Barrett CNN

President Donald Trump plans to sign a compromise border security measure in conjunction with declaring a national emergency to secure funding for a border wall, according to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell.

Speaking on the Senate floor Thursday, McConnell sought to reassure lawmakers unsure of the president’s position before taking a vote on the plan, which falls short of providing the $5 billion in border wall funding Trump had demanded.

“He has indicated he is prepared to sign the bill.

He will also be issuing a national emergency declaration at the same time,” McConnell said. “I’ve indicated to him that I’m going to support the national emergency declaration. So for all of my colleagues, the president will sign the bill. We will be voting on it shortly.”

It provided reassurance amid questions about the president’s support for the deal, which was struck by a bipartisan panel of negotiators. Aides had said earlier Thursday they were concerned Trump would reject the spending compromise — a major shift from earlier this week, when

nation’s largest bank, is launching its own cryptocurrency.

Dubbed JPM Coin, the cryptocurrency has a fixed value redeemable for one US dollar. It won’t trade freely like bitcoin and many other cryptocurrencies.

JPMorgan believes JPM Coin can help lower its clients’ costs and risks, by making money transfers instantaneous and by reducing the amount of capital they need to hold onto. JPMorgan moves trillions of dollars around the world every day on behalf of customers.

JPM Coin is designed to be used, at least initially, by major institutional customers, not individuals, although JPMorgan expects to roll it out to a broader range of customers later this year.

JPMorgan said it is the first American bank to create and successfully test this kind of digital coin. But Signature Bank, a much smaller bank based in New York, started handling transactions for its business clients on its own blockchain platform on Jan. 1. Like the JPM Coin, its transactions are pegged to the dollar, and do not use a freely traded cryptocurrency like bitcoin.

Great whites may have wiped out the biggest shark that ever lived

By Jack Guy CNN

The megalodon — also known as the biggest shark ever — became extinct a million years earlier than previously thought, due to competition from much smaller great white sharks, according to new research. The full paper is published in the Journal of Life and Environmental Sciences.

A team of scientists claim that the giant prehistoric predator, as

Must read seen in countless documentaries and movies such as “The Meg,” starring Jason Statham, died out 3.6 million years ago, rather than 2.6 million years ago.

Earlier research relied on global fossil samples and one study linked their extinction to a supernova which was thought to have unleashed cosmic radiation that caused increased cancer rates

among large animals.

However, researchers led by vertebrate paleontologist Robert Boessenecker with the College of Charleston, S.C., re-evaluated existing records and found a different pattern.

To estimate the extinction date the team used the densely sampled rock record of California and Baja California, Mexico, and found that genuine fossil occurrences were present up until 3.6 million years ago.

This means that the megalodon extinction is not immediately related to the mass dying of seals, walruses, sea cows, porpoises, dolphins and whales around 1 to 2.5 million years ago, said Boessenecker. So this die-off may not have been a mass extinction caused by an event such as a supernova, as previous research has suggested.

Instead, the newly evolved great white shark, Carcharodon carcharias, likely played a role in the extinction of the megalodon, after

great whites with serrated teeth spread from their initial home in the Pacific Ocean some 6 million years ago to seas around the world by 4 million years ago.

“We propose that this short overlap (3.6-4 million years ago) was sufficient time for great white sharks to spread worldwide and out compete (the) megalodon throughout its range, driving it to extinction — rather than radiation from outer space,” Boessenecker said in the statement.

Vitamin E worth a try for some with NASH DEAR DR. ROACH: I was diagnosed with nonalcoholic steatohepatitis and had very high AST and ALT numbers. I lost about 25 pounds, and the numbers were normal. As a result of other health issues, the weight came back and the numbers went up. My liver specialist suggested we try 800 IU of vitamin E daily.

Without losing weight the reports are now in the normal range. Although it will not clear the existing damage, this will prevent further damage. It’s worth suggesting that people try this.

— J.T. ANSWER: Weight loss and abstinence from alcohol are the interventions with the best evidence to prevent progression from nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (commonly called “fatty liver”) to fibrosis and cirrhosis of the liver. However, there is evidence, beyond anecdotal, to support the use of vitamin E in some situations.

The largest trial done for this was in 2010 and showed that people who took 800 IU of vitamin E were more likely to have improvement in their liver disease, as proven by biopsy. Many experts will use this dose of vitamin E in some people with NASH. Vitamin E also has been linked in one study to increased risk of prostate cancer, so men with a history of or at high risk for prostate cancer usually should not take supplemental vitamin E. Weight loss remains the best proven therapy to treat fatty liver disease.

DEAR DR. ROACH: My voice gets raspy each day. I’m a male in my mid-50s in good shape. I take omeprazole for help swallowing food; I also have Barrett’s esophagus.

So, it could be excess acid reflux. But my nose constantly runs, so it could be post-nasal drip. I also have a gluten and dairy allergy, but my voice gets thinner even when I avoid those irritants.

(For the record, I also have Hashimoto’s disease, but I don’t think my thyroid is an issue here.) Any thoughts?

— R.C. ANSWER: Your diagnosis is most likely chronic laryngitis, since you have had symptoms so long and you have two very likely reasons to have this condition. Barrett’s esophagus is a condition where the lining of the esophagus changes in response to frequent damage by acid reflux. People with Barrett’s esophagus are at risk for laryngopharyngeal reflux, where the acid goes up not only into the esophagus but all the way into the larynx, where it can damage the vocal cords.

However, you also have symptoms which suggest post-nasal drip. The inflammatory substances coming from the nasal passages and sinuses also can damage the vocal cords, leading to hoarseness.

Very severe, untreated hypothyroidism can cause changes in the voice due to myxedema (mik-sa-DEEma) in the vocal cords. This is quite rare.

To understand why you are having these symptoms, and to be sure there is not something more serious, I would recommend an evaluation by a head and neck surgeon (otolaryngologist).

Diner wants to hush loud fellow diner Dear Amy: During a recent dinner at a neighborhood restaurant/pub, four people at one table near us were having a very lively conversation. They were loud enough that nearby diners heard their conversation, whether we cared to or not.

One person did much of the talking, with his companions chiming in from time to time. The primary speaker was apparently very earnest, or passionate, or a bit limited in his vocabulary: most of his sentences included an F-bomb dropped as an all-purpose substitute for just about any adjective or adverb.

As this continued for more than 20 minutes, I became frustrated that their conversation had become an intrusion on the conversation at our own table.

When I asked my dining companions if I should gently ask the primary speaker to please lower his volume and suggest that he lighten up on the profanity, their reply was, “Absolutely not — it’s not your place.”

Was I out of line to be frustrated by the primary speaker’s language? Would your answer be different if children had been within earshot? (Not the case this time, as far as I could tell, although they very easily could have been.)

If he was being inconsiderate of his fellow diners, what would have been the proper course to attempt to

Green New Deal is big thinking WASHINGTON — Who’s afraid of the Green New Deal? I’m not. It’s ambitious, aspirational, improbable, impractical — almost as audacious as putting a man on the moon. We used to be able to think big. Let’s do it again.

Since the 14-page resolution was introduced in Congress last week by Sen. Ed Markey, D-Mass., and Rep. Alexandria OcasioCortez, D-N.Y., critics have been falling over themselves to denounce the Green New Deal’s policies as prohibitively expensive, totally unworkable or somehow Venezuelan. If those Eugene opponents would stop Robinson shouting long enough to actually read the document, they’d see that it’s not a compendium of concrete policies at all, but rather a set of goals.

And they are the right goals. The Green New Deal seeks to outline a national project for our time — not just a response to a grave environmental threat, but a framework for enhanced growth, opportunity and fairness.

The laudable aim is to play offense, not defense, in the fight to limit climate change. We are going to have to wage that battle one way or another. Why not do it on our terms, before Miami slips underwater and the yet-unburned parts of California go up in flames?

The best historical analogy is not the New Deal but World War II, when mobilization of the nation’s vast productive capacity not only defeated Germany and Japan but also generated unprecedented domestic economic growth, hugely expanding the middle class.

Once again, the planet faces a dire threat. Once again, the United States can help lead the world to victory.

It’s a massive overreach, critics of the Green New Deal say. But any effort to address climate change that is commensurate with the scale of the problem is going to look like an overreach. Worldwide emissions of carbon dioxide and other heat-trapping gases — the cause of global warming — are beginning to level off, but they need to start falling, and fast, if we are to spare our grandchildren and greatgrandchildren an ecological nightmare.

Can we really shift entirely to clean energy sources within 10 years, as the resolution pledges? Well, certainly not if we don’t try.

In 1961, when JFK announced the goal of sending an American to the moon and back by the end of the decade, NASA scientists had only a vague idea how to do such a thing. They figured it out, and succeeded in 1969.

Breakthroughs will be needed, for example, in solar energy technology and battery storage.

Why should China — now the world’s biggest producer of solar panels — be allowed to make these innovations and reap the resulting economic benefits? Why not the United States?

It’s too expensive, naysayers complain. They point to a clause in the resolution that calls for “upgrading all existing buildings in the United States” to make them more energy-efficient.

That sounds absurd — until you remember the massive blackout drills that took place across the country during World War II. People participated. It was their patriotic duty.

Windows, roofs, doors, appliances — all have to be replaced every once in a while, and all can be made less wasteful of energy. And as for goals such as making sure every American has “high-quality health care” and “affordable, safe and adequate housing,” well, those have been Democratic Party positions for a very long time.

Acting alone would be pointless, skeptics say. Indeed, China is now by far the world’s biggest carbon emitter, with the United States second and India a fast-rising third. What would be the point of going to great effort to reduce U.S. emissions while others just burn more coal?

Think about it, though. We are, after all, the second-biggest emitter, which means that any substantial reduction would indeed have measurable impact. Also, officials in China and India, unlike those in the Trump administration, understand and accept the conclusions of climate scientists. China may be adding coal-fired power plants, but it is also making massive investments in clean energy. Do you really want Beijing to lead the way into the future? Shouldn’t it be Washington?

That’s a rationale for the Green New Deal that the Make America Great Again crowd should embrace. If you believe in American exceptionalism, you believe that the United States has a duty to lead at moments of crisis.

This is such a moment.

Look at the big picture. Unless you deny the science of climate change, you have to believe that we need to take bold action. Stop all the nitpicking. Enough with the posturing. Let’s talk about what to do.

Today’s socialism no longer classifies “From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs!”

— Karl Marx WASHINGTON — Norman Thomas was not easily discouraged. Running for president in 1932, three years into the shattering, terrifying Depression, which seemed to many to be a systemic crisis of capitalism, Thomas, who had been the Socialist Party’s candidate in 1928 and would be in 1936, 1940, 1944 and 1948, received, as this column previously noted, fewer votes (884,885) than Eugene Debs had won (913,693) as the party’s candidate in 1920, when, thanks to the wartime hysteria President Woodrow Wilson had fomented, Debs was in jail.

In 1962, Michael Harrington, a founder of the Democratic Socialists of America (it succumbed to a familiar phenomenon: Two American socialists = three factions), published “The Other America.” It supposedly kindled President John Kennedy’s interest in poverty, which supposedly had not escaped his attention while campaigning in West Virginia’s primary.

Harrington, like “democratic socialist” Sen. Bernie Sanders today, thought socialism should be advanced through the Democratic Party.

Today, socialism has new, angrier advocates. Speaking well of it gives the speaker the frisson of being naughty and the fun of provoking Republicans like those whose hosannas rattled the rafters when the

Law professor

Richard Epstein notes that in the last 35 years the fraction of total taxes paid by the lower 90 percent has shrunk from more than 50 percent to about 35 percent.

In his volume in the Oxford History of the United States (“The Republic for Which It Stands,” covering 1865-1896) Stanford’s Richard White says that John Bates Clark, the leading economist of that era, said “true socialism” is “economic republicanism,” which meant more cooperation and less individualism. Others saw socialism as “a system of social ethics.” All was vagueness.

Today’s angrier socialists rail, with specificity and some justification, against today’s “rigged” system of government in the service of the strong. But as the Hoover Institution’s John H. Cochrane (aka the Grumpy Economist) says, “If the central problem is rent-seeking, abuse of the power of the state, to deliver economic goods to the wealthy and politically powerful, how in the world is more government the answer?”

The “boldness” of today’s explicit and implicit socialists — taxing the “rich” — is a perennial temptation of democracy: inciting the majority to attack an unpopular minority.

This is socialism now: From each faction according to its vulnerability, to each faction according to its ability to confiscate.

No shutdown or emergency necessary for wall WASHINGTON — It’s official. We just had the longest government shutdown in history over nothing. Democrats have agreed to fund $1.375 billion for 55 miles of physical barrier along the border, which is only a little more than what Trump would have gotten under a continuing resolution that funded the government at current levels — and far less than the $5.7 billion Trump demanded to build 230 miles of barriers that experts and the Department of Homeland Security said they need to secure the border.

But Trump can still get the rest of the money — without a government shutdown or declaring a national emergency.

Shutting down the government again isn’t an option.

Democrats are not afraid of another shutdown. They know if Trump rejects this deal and closes the government, he would get the blame, and in a few weeks’ time we would end right up back where we are now — with a bad deal. They have zero incentive to give him more money for a border wall.

Declaring a national emergency would also be a mistake.

to domestic spending. Denying Trump his wall in December would lead to severe cuts. And Democrats would hardly have grounds on which to complain, since Trump would simply be following the terms of a budget deal that a Democraticcontrolled Senate passed and Obama signed into law.

Of course, the defense cuts were intended as a deterrent to conservatives, who know they would be potentially disastrous for U.S. national security. But Trump may not care. He wants his wall and may be willing to swallow temporary defense cuts to inflict sufficient pain on the Democrats to get it.

Trump can’t win a shutdown fight today. But he can win a sequester fight at the end of the year. He should take the deal on the table today, resist the temptation to invoke a national emergency and then get the rest of his wall money in December when he finally has the upper hand.

Police trying to ID wallet thieves Couple charged

after baby suffers broken bones

By Isabel Hughes isabel.hughes @gwinnettdailypost.com

Gwinnett police are trying to identify two people who stole a woman’s wallet out of her purse at a Mall of Georgia-area restaurant.

On Jan. 22, a man and woman were eating at La Madeleine in unincorporated Buford when another couple — the suspects — sat down near them.

At one point, the female suspect said to the male suspect, “She saw you. She saw you,” police said.

A waitress noticed the strange behavior and comments and notified her supervisor, but by the time they went back to confront the suspects, they had left the restaurant, police said. The victim then noticed that her wallet was missing from inside her purse.

The supervisor went outside and got the license plate and vehicle description that the suspects were in,

•From Page 1A Santana said. “It was a little more intimate than I thought it would be.”

Vanessa Santana said it was a memorable way to celebrate the Feb. 14 holiday.

“We definitely did plan on getting married this year, we just didn’t have a date, and then we were like, ‘You know, it’s Valentine’s Day,’ so we decided to do it,” she said. “It being Valentine’s Day, being able to celebrate that way (was nice).”

Robert and Patricia Rhoads, who renewed their vows on Thursday — the two have been married for 22 years — echoed the newlyweds, adding that the ease of the ceremony was another reason they chose to renew their vows.

though the license plate was registered to a man who no longer owned the vehicle. It was listed as a junk vehicle several years prior and not approved for roadway use, police said.

The suspects are described as a black man with a beard wearing a light blue shirt, tie, brown

dress pants and a black cap and a black woman with long black hair wearing a brown coat.

The vehicle is a black Chevy Silverado with Pennsylvania license plate KGA 8751.

Martinez extensions of water and sewer lines that will be needed for planned improvements at Destination Park. The city is using some of the funds it gets from Gwinnett’s 2017 special purpose local option sales tax to pay for the park improvements.

The park improvements also include the installation of bathrooms and Martinez said construction on those improvements is expected to begin in 2020.

And as far as traffic is concerned, Martinez said the city plans to use SPLOST funds and Georgia Department of Transportation local maintenance and improvement grants to address transportation issues in the city. He said 2019 will be a year for renewing efforts to tackle

traffic problems.

Fifty-five percent of the $6 million that Loganville is receiving from a SPLOST approved by Walton County voters last year has been earmarked for road projects.

“While SPLOST funds and LMIG grants will be used on different projects, I can sit here and promise to you here today that we will work harder with GDOT to address some of the biggest problem area we have in our city,” he said.

Gwinnett animal shelter offering adoption specials

BY ISABEL HUGHES isabel.hughes @gwinnettdailypost.com

The Gwinnett County animal shelter is hoping to make Valentine’s Day a little sweeter for locals by hosting an “Adopt-ASweetheart” event through Saturday.

Those looking for a new pet will be able to take home a dog or cat for $2.14, a significant reduction from the regular $45 adoption fee for dogs and the $20 cat fee.

In addition to the discounted prices, on Saturday, the shelter will have gifts for newly adopted animals, as well as a photo backdrop to capture “joyful Valentine moments (with) these pets as they depart to their forever homes,” the shelter said in a news release.

“Adopting is a gift for both the pet and your Valentine,” said Alan Davis, manager of the Gwinnett County Animal Welfare and Enforcement Division. “Giving a home to a shelter pet is a memorable gift from the heart.”

Adopters can usually take their new pet home on the same day of adoption upon completion of paperwork and adoption counseling. All pets

A Tuesday night Duluth Police Department awards ceremony became an evening of celebration for two local law enforcement officers, who are now engaged.

Two days ahead of Valentine’s Day, Georgia Bureau of Investigation Special Agent Monty Blu Horton popped the question to Duluth Police Investigator Lea Elam in a surprise proposal.

“I didn’t know what he had planned, and then he got on one knee and I was totally stunned,” Elam told Daily Post news partner FOX 5 Atlanta.

Horton planned the special moment, which was captured on video and pictures by friends and officers as Elam and Horton stood in front of the crowd of close to 100 people, after receiving permission from Elam’s boss, Duluth Police Chief Randy Belcher.

“She’s a very, very special woman. She deserves to have everyone know how she’s loved and appreciated,” Horton told FOX 5 Atlanta. “I wanted to make

GGC tennis teams prepare to defend titles — again

By Christine Troyke

christine.troyke@gwinnettdailypost.com

At practice the day before the season-opener, a spate of rapid-fire Spanish cut through the usual zing-and-grunt of the afternoon.

Two of Georgia Gwinnett College’s players were arguing a line call.

That intensity is both an ingredient in and a product of five straight NAIA national championships.

“The guys get on me, actually, but I just never want us to get satisfied,” said head coach Chase Hodges, the program’s architect. “And I think the results have proven that we haven’t.

“It’s so easy to get satisfied. Let’s take advantage of the situation we’re in. The streak is eventually going to end — all streaks end — but

let’s see how long we can take it.”

The Grizzlies entered the season on the nation’s longest active intercollegiate winning streak and then extended it to 83 with an 8-1 rout over Lander University, the No. 5 team in Division II. The men and women, who have won four of the last five national titles themselves, get the season going in earnest at 1 p.m. today against USC-Aiken as part of the Grizzly Invitational at the program’s Lawrenceville facility. GGC recently installed cameras at the tennis complex so matches can be live streamed.

“It is more difficult to stay on top than it is to get there just simply based on the fact that every team we play is extremely pumped up to beat us,” Hodges said. “They want to make their season

says the Hawks would do well to watch Davenport to see not only how she approaches the game from a technical and mechanics standpoint, but also how she prepares and conducts herself on the course.

“We have six girls (on the team).

Two of them are juniors, and the rest are underclassmen,” Allen said. “I think (Davenport) is a great role model for the young ones. Even for a lot of the guys, they find themselves watching how she handles things and competes.

“Her golf game speaks for itself. It shows how competitive she is and the work she’s put into it and accomplishing her goal of playing college golf. Aside from that, she’s a great person and fun to

be around.”

It’s not that Davenport didn’t have an immediate impact on Gwinnett’s high school golf scene when she debuted as a freshman at GAC. However, her development as a player did take a path that seems somewhat unusual as the number of quality girls golfers rapidly rises.

“As a freshman, I was the only girl on the (varsity) team (at GAC),” Davenport recalled. “I played with a few of the beginning (players), but mainly, my coaches wanted me to start (practicing) with boys.

INSIDE: 2019 Daily Post Super Six boys and girls golf teams, 12A TRADITIONAL WRESTLING STATE TOURNAMENT

Gwinnett girls have strong debut at state tournament

By Taylor Denman

taylor.denman@gwinnettdailypost.com

Mountain View sophomore Kennedy Shropshire was wrestling up a weight class last week at sectionals.

Shropshire, who doesn’t typically wrestle in the 116-pound weight class, had to move up if she was going to seize a firsttime opportunity presented for her and fellow girls wrestlers at sectionals: the chance to wrestle at the 2019 GHSA traditional state championships in a girls-only bracket.

The meet was in Valdosta at Lowndes High School. Shropshire placed first in her weight class and improved her overall record to 12-5 this season. That record combines matches against boys and girls.

“I knew it was going to be harder, but I feel like I did pretty good,” she said. “I was pretty confident going in I could win and qualify, so afterward I just felt relief.”

That confidence seems to have translated to the early rounds of GHSA’s traditional

state tournament at the Macon Centreplex on Thursday. Shropshire advanced to the semifinals by winning her first two matches by pinfall. She won her first in 45 seconds and took the second in 3:01. She’ll wrestle her semifinal match today and, if she advances, wrestle in the finals on Saturday.

The 2019 traditional state tournament marks the first in which girls will wrestle in their own tournament. There are 10 weight classes, and all of the state’s classifications are combined. Weights start as low as 95 and up to 225. Girls could always wrestling in GHSA varsity matches, but have not had their own division until sectionals qualifying last week.

While girls wrestling is still not yet officially sanctioned by GHSA, Mountain View coach Jim Gassman personally believes that girls teams are on the way in the next two to three years.

“It’s just good timing,” Gassman said.

The month-long search for a new head football coach at Grayson has ended.

Adam Carter was introduced to the Ram players Wednesday mornAdam ing as the Carter replacement for Christian Hunnicutt, who stepped down in January. Hunnicutt was hired recently as the head coach at Villa Rica.

Carter, whose hire is pending Gwinnett County Public Schools Board of Education approval, spent the 2018 season as the head coach at Creekview, where he led a breakthrough season that saw him win Cherokee Tribune and Ledger-News Coach of the

Year honors.

“We want to welcome Coach Adam Carter and his wife Molly to Grayson,” Grayson athletic and activities director Brian DeBerry said. “Adam understands the level of commitment and organization that the Grayson football program requires. Coach Carter brings a vast knowledge of football along with high energy, motivation and understanding of the importance of stakeholder involvement in the Grayson community.”

Carter led Creekview to a 12-1 record and a state quarterfinal appearance last season, his first as the Grizzlies’ head coach. His team won the program’s first region title, posted its first unbeaten regular season and picked up its first state playoff victory.

The 34-year-old said his plan was to stay at Creekview, but that changed when the Grayson job came open.

pressure for the rest of the period and the Gladiators killed two penalties to stem the tide. Briefly. Soon after the second power-play expired, Newfoundland scored again and spelled the end of Bonar’s night.

Former Gladiator Todd Skirving swept behind the net and fed James Melindy in the right circle. Melindy unloaded a bomb and Atlanta sent out rookie goalie Michael Bitzer to take over for Bonar.

Just 2:23 later, Ferguson beat Bitzer, who was deep in his own net for a 5-0 lead.

The Gladiators broke up Eamon McAdam’s shutout at 5:38. Daniel Leavens banged home a puck during a scramble in front, but the manhandling continued.

Estephan made it 7-1 on the power play a minute later.

•From Page 10A “There are more girls participating throughout the state. … It’s always a process, but there are enough quality girls wrestling.”

Shropshire won Collins Hill’s junior varsity King of the Hill tournament and was the freshman champion in her weight class. All of those matches were against boy wrestlers. It’s not unordinary for Shropshire to pin boys since she’s been doing so since sixth grade at Atlanta Wrestling Academy.

Shropshire said she’s not only looking forward to competing, but also the impact an additional girls sport will have on athletics scholarships available to female athletes.

“I feel like girls wrestling is really growing and that’s going to help us for college, as well,” she said.

Shropshire is one of

eight Gwinnett County girls to win their weight class at sectionals. The local champions were North Gwinnett’s Diana Holmes (106 pounds), Duluth’s Aki Choates (126), Norcross’ Genesis Ruiz (146), Collins Hill’s Tiyahna Askew (156), Berkmar’s Itzel Vega (166), Parkview’s Stephanie Felix (176) and Peachtree Ridge’s LaurenAshley Miller (225) . A handful of local runner-up finishers — Berkmar’s Ally Graham (106), Discovery’s Violeta Rios (146), Central Gwinnett’s Ayitagraha Louifils (136), Parkview’s Rebecca Juarez (156) and Meadowcreek’s Mi’Kel Jiles (225) — also made the trip to the state tournament.

Gwinnett County’s representatives had five semifinalists from five different schools. Holmes, Choates, Askew, Graham and Shropshire advanced

to today’s semifinals.

Shropshire has experience against one potential opponent in the 116 bracket, and it’s perhaps the opponent she’s most familiar with. Ola’s Amani Jones is also a sophomore and tallied a record of 37-5 on the season. Their rivalry goes back to youth wrestling days when she started in sixth grade. Their matchup history goes back and forth. Jones was not just the first girl Shropshire wrestled, she was her first opponent ever. That both are hurtling through the girls bracket bodes well for the future of the rivalry beyond the state championship, if classifications continue to overlap.

“For me to be successful, I have to focus on takedowns,” Shropshire said. “In practice, I’ve been working on my shots and finishing. Just perfecting things.”

PREP ROUNDUP

Wesleyan rallies to win in 7th FROM STAFF REPORTS PEACHTREE CORNERS — Wesleyan scored four runs in the bottom of the seventh inning to defeate St. Pius 6-5 on Thursday. Jamie LaFramboise’s walk-off single provided the game winner.

John Kiersznowski was the winning pitcher, in relief, for the Wolves (2-0).

BASEBALL BASEBALL Collins Hill 6, Northview 5 DULUTH — Collins Hill defeated Northview 6-5 on Thursday. Sam Horn tossed four innings and allowed two hits and struck out six to notch the win for the Eagles (2-0). Jackson Cate earned the save.

Shiloh 16, Central Gwinnett 3 LAWRENCEVILLE – Shiloh improved to 2-1 on the season with a 16-3 win over Central Gwinnett on Thursday. A.J. Rodgers led the offense with three hits and three RBIs. Bhakari Hankins added three hits and two RBIs while Greg Thornton provided two hits.

GAC 4, Hebron 4 DACULA — The Spartans and Lions baseball teams played to seven innings before their nonregion game was called due to darkness.

Greater Atlanta Christian (1-1-1) starting pitcher Michael Tobia pitched five innings and struck out four batters and was charged with four earned runs.

Offensively, Harrison Stogner was 1-for-1 with a solo homer run and Shane Lussier was 1 for 3 with a home run.

For Hebron (0-1-1), Jackson Boyd was 2-for-3 with a double and two-run homer. Max Bennett, Jackson Hackney and Anthony Lentine each recorded one hit.

GIRLS SOCCER SOCCER GIRLS Archer 8, Meadowcreek 0 NORCROSS — Archer improved to 4-0 on the season with a 8-0 win over Meadowcreek on Thursday. Bailey Francis and Jordan Hall each scored three goals while Ines Obradovac scored twice.

GGC nation. Losing Konfederak, who was an absolute beast, is obviously tough, but a guy like Federico Herrera Duran who (won the ITA Oracle Cup) is a guy who has really turned a corner for us.”

The nucleus from last year is headlined by two senior captains, Ayed Zatar and Rafael Coutinho. Zatar is teaming with Valentino Caratini as No. 1 doubles.

“We’ve got 10 guys on the roster and they’re a really tight-knit group,” Hodges said. “It really is like a family atmosphere.

I know people use that terminology all the time, but I truly mean it. These guys are together 24/7 and they’re like brothers so we really feel like we’ve built that vibe up.

“They’re extremely supportive of one another. One of the nice things about the streak and the previous Grizzlies who have graduated is they’re really supportive of the current guys. They truly want to see the program continue to do well.”

The women were relatively young and inexperienced last season — and still went 18-2 on their way to a third straight NAIA championship and fourth in the last five years.

“The women last year, for us to win the national title, was quite an accomplishment,” Hodges said.

“We have most of our team back, so that’s a good thing, but you want to make sure they’re not not satisfied and continue to work hard.”

Sophomore Madeline Bosnjak is the top-ranked player in the nation and won the ITA Oracle Cup title in the fall. Also returning are fellow first-team All-Americans junior Emerald Able and senior Henar Munoz, along with secondteam selection senior Maria Prados Cid. Freshman Tereza Koplova, a Czech, came to campus during winter break and is expected to add some more pop to the lineup.

“The biggest thing with the women’s program is if we continue to peak at the right time, in May, which we tend to do, then they’ll be completely fine,” Hodges said. “I’m not overly concerned with results in February and March.

“Obviously I want to

win, just like anybody.

That’s why I’m a coach, you know, but I do really see, especially with the women, that we do tend to take our game up a level in May. It’s a good problem to have. They compete best when it matters most.”

One of the team’s two losses last season came in April against Keiser and fueled the Grizzlies run to the finals — where they took their revenge.

“Experience is not an issue,” Hodges said. “Last year we were talking about how inexperienced we were so I hate to rest on experience. That’s when you get beat. We can’t just rely on that. We have to continue to work hard and continue to develop our game and continue to be hungry.”

It is how those formative years playing and practicing alongside the GAC boys team has helped her improve that makes her career track perhaps even more fascinating.

He has a coach’s understanding of the game, and that translates onto the golf course.

His commitment to our program at Lanier High School has been first class, and I am looking forward to working together with him this season.”

He has a natural, athletic golf swing that allows him to play freely without too many swing thoughts. He knows his own swing very well and makes on the course adjustments without much worry. That added to his desire to compete and work ethic have made in him to one of the state’s best high school golfers.

Evan has only played competitive golf for two years now. He has made tremendous growth in that time. I look forward to seeing his progress this spring and into his college career.”

Davenport “When I was younger, I played as the only girl on a Junior PGA team, so I was kind of used to that,” Davenport said.

“But definitely the competitiveness (was different), and guys take a different approach.

They’re very strategic with how they play, whereas beginning girls just kind of like hit the ball.

“So playing with guys really gave me that insight to kind of manage my time on the course and how to play more competitively and take bigger risks.”

Allen agrees that Davenport’s early training has benefitted her during the time he’s observed her play since joining the Mill Creek coaching staff. “(Practicing with the boys) got her career kick-started,” Allen said. “Since she’s been here (at Mill Creek), she’s gotten even better. She’s done everything she’s had to do to be successful. And on top of that, she’s great in the classroom.”

The competitiveness Daven-

port has learned will definitely fuel her on during her senior season this spring.

After finishing as individual state runner-up last season and tying for third at state with former Mill Creek teammate Emma Bell the year before, and watching the Hawks finish as team runner-up in Class AAAAAAA by a single stroke in both tournaments, Davenport knows there is a lot of work to do to take the next step.

“The last two years, we’ve lost state by one stroke,” Davenport said. “It was very heartbreaking. It was a tough loss, but we kind of took it and grew from it. … Hopefully this year, we’ll be able to take (the title) away.

“I know a lot of the girls have been working hard over the winter and (last) summer. I’m really excited to see what they’re going to bring to the table. I feel like we’re going to have a strong Mill Creek’s Tess Davenport wants to become more of a leader on the Mill Creek girls golf team as the Hawks’ only senior. (Photo: Kyle Hess) team.”
