Buford superintendent search has finalist BOE still to vote on Downs as school chief

BY ISABEL HUGHES

isabel.hughes @gwinnettdailypost.com

After nearly five months of searching, Buford City Schools has likely found a

new superintendent.

On Wednesday, the Buford Board of Education announced that Robert Downs, who currently serves as assistant superintendent of the Cobb County School District,

is the sole finalist and will likely be appointed as the district’s next superintendent.

The Buford Board of Education has not yet scheduled a meeting to officially vote Downs in as Buford

City Schools superintendent, though said he is expected to start Feb. 25.

Downs was selected among 92 applicants spanning 15 states, the board said.

“Dr. Downs’ credentials and experience stood out among the highly qualified field of candidates. We are confi-

dent that he will build strong ties with students, teachers, parents and the community,” said Buford Board of Education Chairman Phillip Beard.

“It is an exciting time for Buford as we welcome a new superintendent and prepare to See DOWNS, Page 6A

Grocer Lidl opens store in Snellville

SUPER BOWL 2019

BY CURT YEOMANS

curt.yeomans@gwinnettdailypost.com

To call Stone Mountain resident LaDonna Allison a Lidl fan might be a bit of an understatement. By her own admission, in fact, she is a “superfan” of the grocery store chain.

Every time she visits a city where a Lidl store is located, she makes a point to visit the German grocer. Part of the attraction is the fact that Lidl’s store brands don’t use food dyes that Allison is allergic to, and the other are the prices. She said she once got enough food to It was crazy, completely and for 25-defill a shopgree weather, ping cart for that is very impressive about $30. and it definitely goes So it to show how people may not too are excited about Lidl much of opening in the coma surprise munity.” that she — Chandler Ebeier, was excited Lidl spokeswoman to be one of the first customers to shop at MORE ONLINE the new Visit gwinnettdailypost.com for a photo gallery.

Lidl store in Snellville during its grand opening Wednesday.

As she waited in the checkout line, she talked about coming back in the afternoon to do more shopping.

“I love me some Lidl,” Allison said. “I’ve been dying for this store to open because it’s 10 minutes from my house.”

The new Lidl located at 3821 U.S. Highway 78 in unincorporated Snellville opened to a long line of customers waiting to be the first shoppers in the German grocer’s new location. The store was packed with thousands of customers Wednesday morning causing long lines that stretched down aisles as the first shoppers converged on the check out area with full carts.

Lidl — whose name is pronounced “Leeduhl” — entered the U.S. market in June 2017 and the Snellville store is its 65th U.S. location, the third store in Georgia and the second shop in metro Atlanta.

About 60 people are employed at the store, which has about 36,000 square feet of space — about 21,000 of which is the actual shopping area, according to Lidl spokeswoman Chandler Ebeier.

“We’re definitely very excited to be in Georgia (and) we will continue to expand here and along the east coast,” she said.

“It’s definitely great to open the door and be in the Snellville community.”

Ask Jamie Han if she was a high school athlete at Peachtree Ridge, and she quickly comes clean.

“Honestly, I’m not very athletic,” the 25-year-old said. “I got most spirited at Hull Middle and most spirited again my senior year.”

That spirit guided her to sporting events. She was a basketball cheerleader as a high school senior, but more often was an avid fan.

“All my friends were super athletic,” she said. “My friends played baseball, soccer, lacrosse. My sister was (Daily Post) Super Six in lacrosse. But I was never athletic.

Air traffic increases at Briscoe Field for Super Bowl

BY CURT YEOMANS

curt.yeomans @gwinnettdailypost.com

Super Bowl LIII is bringing increased air traffic to Gwinnett County Airport at Briscoe Field in Lawrenceville.

As the Super Bowl approaches, Airport Director Matthew Smith said airports around metro Atlanta are seeing an uptick in the number of people flying in for the game.

Smith said the Federal Aviation Administration set up a “slot” system for area airports during the days leading up to the Super Bowl as well as the day after it. People and companies flying in by private jet had

to get a slot for arriving flights and departing flights between Tuesday of this week and the day after the big game.

As of Thursday afternoon, 410 slots had been filled and Smith expected that number to increase.

“After Super Bowl LII in Minneapolis, the FAA looked at all of the arrivals that they had and they estimate there will be another 1,100 additional aircraft in the area for the Super Bowl,” Smith said.

“They plotted a 30-mile radius around (Mercedes-Benz Stadium) and within that 30-mile radius, and they counted all of the airports and all of the additional parking they had and it

was about 900 spaces.

“So, that’s why we’re seeing increased activity (and) Athens is seeing increased activity because there is just not enough physical space for all of those people.”

There were 89 flight arrival reservations recorded for Saturday and Sunday alone, as of Thursday afternoon. In all, 203 flight arrival reservation slots had been filled for the period between Tuesday and Sunday afternoon for Briscoe Field, according to Smith. He estimated

the airport averaged about 289 flights per day last year.

At the same time, a total of 207 flight departure reservation slots had been filled for those days plus Monday. The majority of the departure reservations — 107 to be exact — are scheduled for Monday. Another 33 are scheduled across Saturday and Sunday.

“What the NFL was saying, and it appears they were right, is that people trickle in over the week because they want to get here early and go to some of the concerts and some of the events and the venues,” Smith said. “But as soon as the game See TRAFFIC, Page 6A

Gwinnett BOE approves $173M sale of bonds

AAA — with a stable outlook by both Standard & Poor’s and Moody’s Investors Service. That rating affects the interest rates the district can get for its bond payments.

Effectively, a higher bond rating means a better chance of getting a lower interest rate, which in turn means less money that the district has to spend on debt service to repay the bonds.

GCPS is one of only two school districts in Georgia that holds a AAA

bond rating from both Moody’s and S&P, and currently only 24 school districts nationwide have earned the fiscal stamp of approval from both bond rating agencies.

Gwinnett schools Superintendent J. Alvin Wilbanks said he takes pride in the district’s record of fiscal accountability and how that benefits taxpayers and students.

“Our board of education and the employees of the school district take our responsibility

to be the best stewards of taxpayer funds very seriously,” Wilbanks said.

“The reaffirmation of the district’s AAA bond rating and the impact it has on the sale of bonds is noteworthy for our community. It positions us to deliver on promises made to our stakeholders while also serving as further evidence of our school district’s financial stewardship over time.”

According to the bond rating firms, the district’s favorable bond ratings are based on its financial

management.

Moody’s said its rating was based on the district’s “sound reserve position,” its use of SPLOST revenue for debt service and its large, diverse tax base.

S&P, meanwhile, said its rating reflects its opinion on the district’s manageable debt burden and its strong financial position, which it said is aided by strong management practices and a demonstrated ability to manage through economic downturns.

Two suspects are accused of racking up more than $6,200 in fraudulent purchases at Duluth-area grocery stores after calling a man’s bank to request a new credit card, which the bank then issued.

On Dec. 28, the suspects, who are described as black men believed to be 25 to 30 years old, made fraudulent purchases at the Sam’s Club on Steve Reynolds Boulevard and at the Publix located on Pleasant Hill Road, police said.

After contacting his bank about the purchases, the victim learned that someone “contacted his credit card company, Wells Fargo, and asked for a new card to be sent out,” an incident report said.

The tweeting of a crackpot WASHINGTON — Of all the crackpots on social media, is any more untethered to reality than the president of the United States?

Seriously, there are tinfoil-hatted lunatics yelling on street corners who make more sense than President Trump’s increasingly loopy Twitter feed. Think about it: Most mornings, and some evenings as well, the most powerful man in the world rants and raves like someone you’d urgently tell the gate agent about if you were waiting to board the same airplane. This is not normal. This is alarming.

I know, there’s a school of thought that says Trump’s tweets are nothing but weapEugene ons of mass distraction Robinson and should be ignored.

But if you want to know the administration’s policy on just about anything, what other reliable source is there?

Surely not press secretary Sarah Sanders and the other White House mouthpieces, whose main job is to invent “evidence” to back up Trump’s misstatements, distortions and pantson-fire lies.

And surely not Trump’s own high-level appointees. After Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats told Congress this week that North Korea is unlikely ever to give up its nuclear weapons, Trump tweeted that there is a “decent chance of Denuclearization …

Progress being made — big difference.” After CIA chief Gina Haspel said that Iran is abiding by the terms of the nuclear deal that Trump renounced, the president used a tweet to slap her down: “The Intelligence people seem to be extremely passive and naive when it comes to the dangers of Iran. They are wrong! … Perhaps Intelligence should go back to school!”

Take a moment to absorb how crazy this is.

The informed assessments of Trump’s intelligence chiefs disagree with Trump’s uninformed or misinformed prejudgments — so he attacks and belittles his own handpicked team.

What are Coats, Haspel and all the others who work for Trump supposed to do? Grin and bear it? Shrug and carry on? Quit and write books telling how the chaos and dysfunction inside Trumpworld are worse than we could possibly imagine?

The president also uses Twitter — where he has nearly 60 million followers — to cut the legs from under members of Congress who are gamely trying to carry his water. This week’s victims are the GOP members of the bipartisan committee that is supposed to be negotiating a spending package for border security. Those Republicans “are wasting their time,” Trump tweeted, because Democrats do not want to approve money to build the imaginary border wall that Mexico was supposed to pay for.

One way to end this farce would be for the committee to come up with funds to replace or upgrade existing border fences and barriers. Trump could say this was money for the wall, Democrats could say it wasn’t, and there would be no threat of another government shutdown or an unconstitutional declaration of national emergency. But another Trump tweet seemed to rule that solution out: “Lets [sic] just call them WALLS from now on and stop playing political games! A WALL is a WALL.” I guess Shakespeare was wrong; a rose by any other name would not, in fact, smell as sweet. But I digress.

One of the scariest things about Trump’s tweets is that you can read them and immediately know what he’s been watching on television. He often repeats what he has just heard on Fox News — to the point that the hosts of his favorite show, “Fox & Friends,” often appear to be setting the administration’s agenda.

If I worked for Trump, I’d watch the show to get my marching orders for the day.

To review: The president won’t accept the conclusions of the intelligence community, which are synthesized by thousands of public servants with great expertise in their subject areas. But he treats three blow-dried talking heads sitting on a couch in Manhattan as Delphic oracles.

Perhaps above all, Trump uses his Twitter feed to lie and mislead. On Thursday morning alone, he claimed in four separate tweets that his promised border wall is already “being built.” That’s an utter, shameless lie. Some existing fencing has been replaced, but not a single mile of new wall has been constructed.

Not one.

Rare is the Trump tweet that does not include at least one lie, exaggeration or distortion. I’ll leave it to my Fact Checker colleagues at The Washington Post to keep track of them all. But think about it: We have a chief executive who gushes toxic falsehood like Drunk Uncle at closing time.

How can the nation respect the presidency when it can’t believe a word the president says?

I don’t know, either.

Georgia’s Golden Isles a treasure for the curious ST. SIMONS ISLAND — For years, we have spent various holiday weekends at St. Simons Island, that alluring, inviting and charming resort settlement in Georgia’s Golden Isles. This time of the year St. Simons can offer bitingthermometer-dipping-chill, but, more often than not, there is balmy, agreeable weather — just right for golf and fishing.

If asked to serve as a town crier or drum-beater for the St. Simons Island’s Chamber of Commerce, it would likely cause aficionados to lapse into a filibuster that would turn an ole time senator’s head.

You begin by noting the goose-bump tingling you get when you traverse the causeway from the mainland. It just feels good to be on St. Simons.

The island’s laid-back lifestyle enraptures visitors, who experience exuding and comforting charm at every turn. The pace simply reflects tranquility.

There is recurring elite social ambience. Life for visitors and permanent party alike carries the notion that there should be a city ordinance admonishing that if you do not experience elevated fun at St. Simons, you should commit to U-turning and heading out of town post haste.

There is nothing like going for a dinner of fried shrimp at the Frederica House, where the ambience and hospitality bring about a down-home dining experience with a splendid local product that evokes high marks for the venue. Dinner

Loran Smith at the Frederica House always calls for an encore.

A refresher stop at Ft. Frederica and the Battle of Bloody Marsh is a reminder there is value in revisiting any historical site. Follow up your history fix by embracing the smoke-filled atmosphere at Southern Soul, the home of a barbecuing process that gets the highest of ratings — just one of the many options for patronizing St. Simons. There is more, making it redundant for many who come this way.

If you have done it before, you find robust pleasure in reliving the experience.

A weekend at St. Simons evokes recollections and memories of the past. Unfortunately, you lament the fact that there can be regrets. Like missing an old friend. For years, I would journey to St. Simons for various reasons, one of which was to visit with the celebrated late cartoonist, Jack Davis. A Georgia native, Jack enrolled at the University of Georgia before going off to war. When World War II ended, he returned home and subsequently took off for New

York, where he enrolled in the Art Students League.

He became a member of the staff of Mad Magazine and was a celebrated hit. He was well connected with the advertising world of Madison Ave. Years later, when technology allowed him to fax and email artwork to the advertising agencies for approval, he was able to move to St. Simons permanently.

Technology was a partner in the good life Jack experienced in his golden years in the Golden Isles.

He built a studio over his garage. A breezeway connected his living quarters and the studio. There were many times I would sit in his company on his deck with a cup of coffee and look out to the Hampton River, where boats seem to slide by in slow motion. Those scenes became inspirational and motivating for him. He was very accomplished and famous — yet so unrelentingly modest. Y ou do not always find humility and modesty with those who reside at the top of the heap in their profession. Jack was an exceptional person and an especial friend.

St. Simons is laid-back but lively. It has more to offer than highly regarded restaurants, charming and energized bars, and comfortable scenery yearround. If you enjoy golf, for example, you seldom have to wait for a tee time.

There are enough courses to tire you out if you come for a couple of days, a weekend or a

fortnight, or more.

Then there is Jekyll Island, right down the road. More golf courses and a lot of history having to do with the millionaires club, which brought the rich eastern tycoons to Jekyll before Florida was developed.

Driftwood beach, on the north end of the island, littered with tangled oaks and pine, is a photographer’s dream.

Go north from St. Simons and there is Darien, an unhurried community, which has history, scenery, fishing and atmosphere, but the place overlooked by so many who come this way, is Little St. Simons.

Perhaps that is because travelers do not know about it, or because they don’t make the effort to go there.

You can only reach Little St. Simons by boat. Make the effort, and you will not be disappointed.

Nature is seldom more resplendent than on Little St. Simons. Nothing like getting off the beaten path and becoming emotionally refreshed and humbled. No place like Little St. Simons to make you appreciate that there are many pristine habitats remaining in our country.

The Golden Isles, which are right under the nose of most Georgians, offer golden opportunities for the curious traveler.

Trump can call Dems’ bluff on border security WASHINGTON — Having lost the government shutdown standoff, President Trump has also lost his leverage. But there is one way he can get it back.

Democrats are standing firm in opposition to a border wall, but they have also been at pains to argue that they are not weak on border security. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., and Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., say Democrats support “smart, effective border security solutions — just not the president’s wasteful and ineffective wall.”

Trump should call their bluff. He should go back to the experts at the Department of Homeland Security and ask them: If Democrats refuse to give you the addition physical barriers you have said are essential to secure the border, what other funding would you need to make up for it? How many extra border agents would you need in the absence of a wall? How many more canine units? How much more for improved coordination with state and local law enforcement in our border communities?

How many more Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents for interior enforcement? How much for underground sensors, radar, unmanned drones and fixed towers with infrared cameras?

How much more advanced detection technology at our ports of entry?

border agents and homeland security professionals say they need immediately to secure the border without one. Unfortunately, it is more expensive to secure the border with people and technology than it is with steel slats.

He will not make How many more portable any concessions for them. scanners to detect smuggled No protections for “dreamnarcotics, weapons and ers” or extension of the other dangerous materials?

He should announce the Democratic caucus. that if Democrats won’t While Democratic leaders pay for a wall, this is what claim they want to secure

the border, their rank-andfile members do not. Those members want to abolish ICE, not give it more resources. If Trump wants to pit the likes of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., and her neo-socialist followers against Pelosi, this will do it.

If Democrats agree, then Trump can legitimately claim to have done more than any president in history to secure the southern border. He will have essentially built a virtual wall. And he can do all this without giving up on a physical barrier. Trump can make clear that he will make wall funding a condition of every policy initiative that Democrats put forward in the coming two years. He can declare that he is more than willing to cut a bipartisan deal to reform our broken immigration system — as long as that deal includes a wall.

Right now, Democrats have a winning hand when it comes to a border wall.

But when it comes to border security, Trump essentially has carte blanche.

Democrats have little choice but to give him pretty much anything he wants to secure the border short of a physical barrier.

If he recognizes this reality and uses it to his advantage, he can still win.

What is burning mouth syndrome?

DEAR DR. ROACH: I have a “burning tongue.”

I’ve had it since my 40s. I’m now 84 years old. I could cook an egg on my tongue.

It never goes away. I once mentioned this to my doctor, but she just shook her head and didn’t have a clue. I’m convinced I’ll never know what causes this. Any ideas?

— C.B. ANSWER: Burning mouth syndrome is the term used to describe a burning sensation in the mouth when no medical or dental cause can be identified. It is most common in women after menopause, and symptoms may be only on the tongue or even just the tip of the tongue.

There are some conditions that can look like burning mouth syndrome but have known causes, such as oral herpes and aphthous ulcers, but a careful exam should find these (and 40-some years is way too long). Some nutritional deficiencies can cause these symptoms, but in your case, I am pretty certain you have the “idiopathic” (no known cause) type.

Some authorities believe it is related to trigeminal neuralgia.

No treatment is effective for everyone, but a tricyclic antidepressant (such as amitriptyline, which works on pain fibers), gabapentin and pramipexole have been effective for some people. A neurologist might be a useful consultant.

DEAR AMY: I am in my late 40s. I have a wonderful husband and great kids.

I’m very happy with my family life. My kids are older, and now I feel like I can detach a bit and focus on work and other personal aspects of my life. I have been burying some insecurity issues that recently erupted.

My life is pretty unconventional — I’m not careerminded. I moved around a lot by choice. I love to travel.

In my 20s, I met a woman through work. We became friends, but her confident, cool and magnetic personality made me envious.

I eventually broke off the friendship due to a combination of her high-maintenance personality and my jealousy.

Recently, I saw her name mentioned in a book written by a famous person. I instantly felt the pangs of jealousy rush through me.

Since then, I often think of her success and what is most likely a pretty glamorous life. She is involved in an industry I would like to get back into.

I hate my reaction to her.

I hate that I compare myself to her. I’m trying to be levelheaded and rational. I’m lucky and grateful for my life. I’m ashamed to talk to my husband or friends about this.

Feel free to tell me to JUST GET OVER IT! — Insecure DEAR INSECURE: GET OVER IT! There, feel better?

I suspect that a perfectly natural “mid-life crisis” has collided with, or been triggered by, this random reminder of someone who brings out the worst in you.

world European nations create channel for trade with Iran to avoid sanctions

Germany, France and Britain have joined forces to establish their own trade channel to Iran and circumvent United States sanctions, according to a joint statement made by the so-called E3 on Thursday.

The three signatories of the 2015 Iran nuclear deal have been working for months to establish a measure allowing payments between Europe and Iran to continue, in the wake of the U.S. withdrawal from the agreement in May. Now the European countries have officially established that channel, in a move likely to displease Washington.

German Foreign Minister Heiko Maas, French Foreign Minister JeanYves Le Drian and British Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt announced the “special purpose vehicle,” known as the Instrument in Support of Trade Exchanges, at a meeting of EU foreign and defense ministers in Bucharest, Romania.

world&nation Trump, Pelosi still at odds over wall

By Kevin Liptak and Ashley Killough CNN

The rift between President Donald Trump and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi over construction of a border wall appeared to widen on Thursday as negotiators worked to strike a deal ahead of a mid-month deadline.

Over the course of the morning, both sides hardened their positions. Pelosi, who had previously been reluctant to entirely rule out wall money in a final funding agreement, made her strongest comments against the wall since the government reopened last week.

Trump went on to dismiss the speaker as “just playing games,” insisting even she would be “begging for a wall” if an onslaught of undocumented immigrants swarm the border.

It was a return to the barbed back-and-forth that colored the month-long standoff that ended last week when Trump agreed to reopen the government without securing the border money wall.

He gave lawmakers three weeks to reach an agreement on a long-term government funding plan that he insists must include border wall funding.

Pelosi adopted a firm

Hole two-thirds the size of Manhattan discovered in glacier

By Sheena McKenzie CNN

A massive cavity two-thirds the size of Manhattan has been discovered growing in an Antarctic glacier, signaling rapid ice decay that has shocked scientists.

The huge hole — measuring almost 1,000 feet tall — was found growing at an “explosive rate” at the bottom of a glacier in West Antarctica, said NA-

to monitor Antarctic glaciers from ground level over the long term, said scientists.

Instead, the team used airborne and satellite ice-penetrating radars to reveal the cavity.

“We have suspected for years that Thwaites was not tightly attached to the bedrock beneath it,” said Eric Rignot, one of the co-authors of the study.

“Thanks to a new generation of satellites, we can finally see the detail,” he said.

The glacier holds “enough ice to raise the world ocean level a little over 2 feet,” said the team. Thwaites also “backstops neighboring glaciers that would raise sea levels an additional 8 feet if all the ice were lost,” they added.

“Understanding the details of how the ocean melts away this glacier is essential to project its impact on sea level rise in the coming decades,” Rignot said.

Fosque praised the store as she represented her fellow commissioners at the grand opening and welcomed the store into Gwinnett.

“It’s fantastic,” Fosque said.

“It’s vibrant and we are vibrantly connected here in Gwinnett County … It’s a pleasure for me to be here on behalf of the Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners. We officially welcome you, Lidl, to the Snellville area.”

But for Gwinnett residents, Wednesday was the culmination of months of anticipation. The Snellville store had been in the works since at least 2017 and several customers said they had been watching the store come up out of the ground with anticipation.

Berkeley Lake residents Marisa and Stephen Hegyesi said they had been waiting for a Lidl to be built near their old home outside Houston but they moved to Gwinnett County last year before the store could be built. Upon their arrival in the county, they cast their gaze toward progress on the Snellville location.

“If it’s like the ones in Europe, it should have some good selections of European food,” Marisa Hegyesi said.

it at the time, but the venture also launched her career.

Nearly eight years after she started the student section account, Han is the Los Angeles Rams’ social media specialist.

She runs the NFL team’s accounts as part of a larger media team that includes writers, an on-camera reporter and video editors.

Her workplace this week is more special than some of her colleagues because Super Bowl LIII brings her home.

“It feels like I’ve come full circle,” Han said. “I know it sounds cliché and I’m only two years out of college, but it almost feels full circle in my very short professional career.

I started that Twitter account in high school, went to (the University of) Georgia and ramped up my resumé. It’s just cool that the journey goes to the pinnacle of the greatest team sport, I get to live that out in my hometown. I’m making a list of restaurants for people to go to around our hotel.

“It’s very cool to me, my high school, my college and now I get to potentially be with a team that wins the Super Bowl in Atlanta. I could not have asked for the stars to align more.”

After high school, Han studied digital and broadcast journalism at UGA’s Grady School of Journalism and Mass Communication, and also earned its Sports Media Certificate. During college, she worked in the Bulldogs’ athletic department in various roles and did an internship with the CW that had her in Flowery Branch regularly for Atlanta Falcons events. She handled social media for two years for the U.S. Army All-American Bowl in San Antonio, helped with the SEC Network in Charlotte and also completed a two-month internship with the Seattle Seahawks that propelled her into her current NFL role, which she started in May, 2017.

Her career arc isn’t a surprise to Jon Weyher, Gwinnett County Public Schools’ director of athletics, activities and community schools. Weyher was athletic director at Peachtree Ridge when Han was a student, and he relied on her to get messages out to the community.

“Jamie stood out because she was a natural leader amongst her peers and always made decisions that were best for the school,” Weyher said. “Jamie was special because she connected with all student groups and they respected her because of her maturity, thoughtfulness and leadership. I had no doubt Jamie would be successful at whatever endeavor she encountered. I’m so proud of her and even though I am a New England fan wish her and her team the best.”

Han and the other members of her media team have been busy leading up to Sunday’s game, funneling content to the Rams’ large social media community, including 822,000-plus Twitter followers, 747,000plus Instagram followers and 849,000-plus Facebook followers. The opportunity to share the experience is the ideal finish for the team, which also guided its fans through a hectic season that included a horrific mass shooting near its train-

ing complex, tragic California wildfires and the relocation of a game from Mexico City to Los Angeles.

“That’s the proudest thing we’ve done as a team,” Han said. “We were in Colorado Springs training for altitude (in Mexico City) and we had five days to put together the first Monday Night Football in LA in like 30, 40 years. There were a lot of moving parts. The community relations department wasn’t sleeping, making sure get thousands of first responders got there, that people were able to get to the game, sell out 75,000 tickets. The game as a whole stands out. The week was rough for the community.

We had the fires, the Borderline (bar) shooting the week we went to Colorado Springs to prepare for Mexico.

“We invited victims of the shooting and first responders to the game. One photo I posted was of three gentlemen from the Ventura County Sheriff and Fire Department, and the California Highway Patrol.

They ran the team out together, all three holding American flags running the team out on the field. It was so powerful to post. Other victims’ families were on the field before the game. (Rams players) Jared Goff, Andrew Whitworth, the captains after the greatest Monday Night Football game in history (a 54-51 Rams win over the Chiefs) went around and hugged the victims’ families. Just be there to record it, and I got to post that, was special. Yes, we won this amazing game, but we’re about the community. We rallied around the community and it was for them. The theme that week was LA together. So to just randomly have the game moved back to LA from Mexico and for that one night, people kind of forgot (the tragedies). A lot of first responders said they found joy that week.”

To finish such a rollercoaster season close to home has been special for all the Rams with local ties, including head coach and Marist grad Sean McVay, who bonded with Han over their common roots.

His homecoming trip has been more public than a behind-thescenes staffer like Han, but it is no less fun.

Her trip will feature her first visit inside Mercedes-Benz Stadium, along with a trip to State Farm Arena, which she didn’t know had been renamed from Philips Arena. And at the top of her list was a stop for Mexican food near where she grew up.

“I’ve got to hit up Frontera on Sugarloaf Parkway at some point,” Han said.

She announced her planned visit there, fittingly, with a cheese dip and chip photo on Twitter, captioned, “hello, I’ve missed you.”

While she misses plenty about her home, she also enjoys her new life and career in Los Angeles.

“It’s been an amazing experience so far (with the Rams),” Han said. “I think the coolest part, not to be cliché, but being part of something bigger than you. Working with the football side, the front office, everyone.

There are so many things that go on with being on part of a team like that. I think it’s so much fun.”

Gwinnett police are looking for a “bold� suspect who recently drove to a hardware store and stole a leaf blower in “broad daylight.�

Shortly after noon on Dec. 27, the suspect, who is described as a black man in his 50s, drove a black Ford Expedition that was pulling a trailer to the Ace Hardware on Athens Highway in unincorporated Loganville, where he then loaded a wheeled leaf blower — estimated to cost $1,000 — into the trailer, police said.

The suspect then drove away, though not before stopping at the Panda Express restaurant near the Ace Hardware to speak to the manager.

Neither the trailer nor the suspect’s Ford had visible tags on them, so police are asking anyone with information to contact detectives at 770513-5300.

SUPER BOWL LIII

Brookwood grad Lynch savors unique opportunity

By Will Hammock

will.hammock@gwinnettdailypost.com

ATLANTA — Dressed sharply in a dark red suit with matching tie and floral black dress shirt, Cameron Lynch made the rounds at the Super Bowl Media Center throughout Thursday. He was scheduled to be back at it today, too.

The busy slate is by design, and the former Brookwood football star didn’t get here by accident.

Lynch, a linebacker for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, has worked toward a postfootball career in the media since his college days at Syracuse. He was an interview guest for media outlet after media outlet Thursday at the Georgia World Congress Center, using his engaging personality to discuss NFL topics with the hosts.

The 25-year-old was among hundreds of NFL players who applied for the Broadcast Bowl, an opportunity to commentate on Radio Show during the week leading

up to Super Bowl LIII at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. He was one of four selected for the experience, joining Eric Decker, Mike Adams and Wesley Woodyard.

“It’s been sick,” Lynch said. “Walking in here is like walking into the stadium. This is a media stadium. This is our stadium as media people. I take it seriously. That’s why I came with the suit. I just can’t wait until tomorrow to get another practice run.

It’s all reps for me and getting ready for this Sunday.”

Sunday brings another unique experience.

Of the finalists, Lynch was picked to provide color commentary for the game broadcast by talkSPORT, a United Kingdombased operation that calls itself “the world’s biggest radio station.” He said he’s excited to join play-by-play man Oliver Wilson and describe the action for fans overseas.

“They’re the only radio in that market,” See LYNCH, Page 13A

Andrews’ journey circles home Discovery boys

By Colin Hubbard

Special to the Daily Post

ATLANTA — When David Andrews and the New England Patriots take the field against the Los Angeles Rams Sunday night in Super Bowl 53, he won’t be the only person in Mercedes-Benz Stadium representing his former high school, Wesleyan.

One of the first things the Wesleyan graduate did after helping the Patriots win their third consecutive AFC Championship was offer three of his 30-plus tickets to his former high school coaching staff, including head coach Franklin Pridgen.

“Aside from the fact I know what these Super Bowl tickets are going for retail, that alone makes it a tremendous gesture,” said Pridgen, who has never been to a Super Bowl and has never been inside Mercedes-Benz Stadium. “I know that’s not the real value of it in this case. I got kind of emotional about it. I didn’t expect it. When he said, ‘I’d like you be our guest,’ I got chills. I teared up a little bit.”

Now eight years removed from his time as a member of the Wolves, Andrews said the least he could do was give tickets to Pridgen, Wesleyan athletic director and assistant football coach Marc Khedouri and former Wolves offensive line coach James McKeel. The New England captain stays in regular contact with his friends at Wesleyan — he even stopped by Tuesday, but the school was closed because of weather concerns.

“I knew that if I was able to get that opportunity, something that I wanted to do was give them to three of

my coaches from high school,” Andrews said.

“It was really important to me. They spent a lot of time doing stuff for me that they didn’t have to do. Things they didn’t get paid to do. Those were some of the most special times in my life and I just felt like I owed them something. What better way to try and repay them than this? I’m glad they get to experience it.”

Sunday will mark Andrews’ third straight appearance in the Super Bowl, having won in his first trip in 2017 when the Patriots defeated the hometown Atlanta Falcons 34-28 in overtime.

Having played his first career Super Bowl in Houston and his second in Minneapolis, Andrews said it’s great to be back in his home state of Georgia for his third trip.

“It’s special,” Andrews said. “It’s kind of where my football journey started. Watching the Atlanta Falcons with my uncle coaching, things like that.

It’s special to be home, but what really matters is the game on Sunday.

That’s really what you will remember when it’s all said and done.”

After having made the Patriots’ roster as an

undrafted free agent in 2015, Andrews said there was a brief time when he thought he might not ever get a chance to play in the NFL, let alone a Super Bowl.

“That was a tough reality that I didn’t know,” Andrews said. “That Belk Bowl in 2014 might have been my last football game. I can remember me and my friends laughing about it. We played the New Orleans Saints in the preseason during my rookie year and all of my buddies said they they needed to go to the game because I might not make it in an NFL game. I kind of give them a hard time for that now. It’s a sad reality. I’m just fortunate that I still get to play football.”

When asked if he thinks going from being an undrafted free agent, to a Super Bowl champion has changed him, his answer was quite stoic.

“I’ve just been the same David that I’ve been my whole life,” Andrews said.

“I’ve tried to play the game the same way from the time that I was six years old. I think the love for the game, the passion for the game and the love for your teammates, I think that’s what carries

you and makes you a good football player.”

Andrews will be one of several former University of Georgia players in Sunday’s game, including teammate Sony Michel.

With Michel drafted in 2018 and former teammate Todd Gurley on the opposite sideline sporting Los Angeles attire, the former Bulldog said it is an honor to represent his college alma mater.

“I’m proud to represent the University of Georgia,” Andrews said.

“I never left. My heart is always in Athens.”

As for the game itself, Andrews said that both his, and his team’s overall experience playing in the last two Super Bowls won’t give them a competitive edge over the Rams, who last played in a Super Bowl 19 years ago. His only hope is that he and the Patriots will be the ones jogging off the field sporting Super Bowl championship hats, rather than jogging off in defeat.

“I don’t really think experience matters,” Andrews said. “What I think it comes down to is who plays harder Sunday night. You just have to learn how to deal with everything, but you learn how to do that throughout the season. The media just gets bigger and the distractions just get bigger. You just have to learn how to handle all of that.”

And with the game in Atlanta, he will have more support than usual in the stands. Included in that group will be some football coaches who have known him since his teenage years.

“I’m not really a jersey guy,” Pridgen said. “I’m not a guy that really wears a sports jersey. But I will have a David Andrews jersey on Sunday.

He’s very deserving of it.”

GWINNETT GRADS

Five Gwinnett players earn AAF spots

By Will Hammock

will.hammock @gwinnettdailypost.com

Five former Gwinnett players landed spots in the new Alliance of American Football, the fledgling league that wrapped up training camp Wednesday in San Antonio, Texas.

Central Gwinnett grads Malachi Jones and Jonathan Massaquoi, North Gwinnett’s Robert Nelson, Mill Creek’s DeVozea Felton and Buford’s Alex Ross all earned roster spots after final cuts.

Jones, 24, gets to play close to home with the Atlanta Legends, whose games are at Georgia State Stadium. The former Appalachian State wide receiver has played pro football since 2016, spending time with the Atlanta Falcons, High Country Grizzlies, Albany Empire and Chicago Bears.

Massaquoi and Felton are teammates with the Birmingham Iron. Massaquoi, 30, played three seasons for the Atlanta Falcons from 2012-14 after the club made him a fifth-round draft choice out of Troy. He was briefly with the Tennessee Titans and Kansas City Chiefs for the 2015 and 2016 seasons. Felton, a wide receiver, played college football at Tuskegee.

Nelson, 28, also is an NFL veteran. Since 2014, the defensive back has played for the Cleveland Browns, Arizona Cardinals, Houston Texans, New England Patriots, New York Jets, Baltimore Ravens and New Orleans Saints.

Ross played quarterback in the CFL the past two seasons after a record-breaking career at Coastal Carolina.

The Alliance of American Football is a pro football league, founded by TV

and film producer Charlie Ebersol and Football Hall of Famer Bill Polian. It features eight teams with 52-player rosters playing a 10-week regular season schedule beginning Feb. 9 on CBS, followed by two playoff rounds and culminating with the championship game at Sam Boyd Stadium in Las Vegas on April 27.

Other teams involved in the inaugural season are the Orlando Apollos (coached

by Steve Spurrier), the Memphis Express (coached

by Mike Singletary), the Salt Lake Stallions (coached by Dennis Erickson) and the San Antonio Commanders.

Indoor Track Athlete of the Week on Monday.

Smith won two events at last weekend’s Tom Hathaway Distance Classic, posting a National A Standard in the 200-meter dash at 21.85 seconds, the best conference time this season and the third-fastest time among NAIA runners nationally. He also anchored a first-place 1,600 relay that finished in a conference-best 3:24.66.

The weekly award was the second this season for Smith, as well as the fourth of his young career. He also earned the honor Dec. 10 after posting National A Standards in the 200 (21.57) and 60 (6.84).

“Those guys in that room deserve all the success we are now getting. They’re coming together as a team.

It’s just an amazing group right now.”

Atlanta (15-19-6-1) put on a hard press from puck drop and scored the only goal of the first period just 4:56 in.

Rookie defenseman Olivier Galipeau intercepted a pass just inside the Florida blueline and ripped a shot from the middle of the ice.

The puck snuck through traffic to foil netminder Jamie Phillips and give the AHL-contracted 21-yearold his fifth goal of the season.

The Gladiators dodged some bullets to hold onto the 1-0 lead through intermission.

Bonar bailed himself out most prominently, getting back to the front of the net after a bad exchange behind it with his defense. Daniel Leavens, playing just his second game for Atlanta, later defused a developing grade-A scoring chance with a poke check. Leavens scored in his first game, a 4-0 win over Greenville a night earlier.

“All the luck we got tonight, we’ve deserved,” Pyle said. “We’ve played hard for a long time and we didn’t get luck before. So we earned it. We worked hard for it.”

hoops breaking into spotlight

By David Friedlander david.friedlander @gwinnettdailypost.com

LAWRENCEVILLE — It might be the understatement of the 2018-19 high school basketball season to say that it represents a breakout season for the Discovery boys.

Sure, the Titans did have a solid 17-9 record just two seasons ago, but in addition to falling short of a state tournament berth with a first-round exit in that season’s Region 6-AAAAAAA tournament, this year’s team appears to be on the cusp of some very big accomplishments.

The Titans are in position to wrap up the regular season region title and No. 1 seed in the tournament this week. They also have a chance to run the table on the region portion of their schedule.

Their current overall record of 20-3 (10-0 in region) already represents a Discovery school record for wins for a program that has grown up very quickly since it started just four short seasons ago in the 2015-16 campaign.

While that development, as well as a No. 4 spot in the current Georgia Sports Writers Association/Kyle Sandy Class AAAAAAA state rankings, may be a surprise to some observers throughout Georgia, it isn’t to head coach Cory Cason.

“Last year, we thought we could be a little better than we were, obviously, but kind of looking back, as we got into the season, we realized our guard play wasn’t quite good enough.

We were a little young at the guard sports,” said Cason, whose Titans were a disappointing 11-15 in 2017-18. “So kind of moving into this season, this is the first time that we returned any type of significant amount of guys.

We returned nine of our 12 varsity players from last year, which is the first time we’ve had more than half of our roster back. So we had a lot of experience and we had a lot of guys who have been here at least two or three years in the program.”

True, the guard play, led by returning starters Jaden Walker, London Riley and Ian Hardy, has been a major catalyst to Discovery’s ascension this season.

That trio combines for an average of 34 points per game, while also contributing in other areas on both ends of the court — Walker and Hardy combine for an average of 7.7 assists per game, while Riley and Hardy combine for 2.8 steals per game.

The backcourt and wing positions were only bolstered by the addition of Hasahnn Reynolds, who moved to Gwinnett County from Immokalee, Fla., last spring.

The 6-foot-4 senior has fit in with the existing group nicely, averaging a team-best 13.7 points and 1.8 steals, plus 5.2 rebounds per game.

“Hasahnn moved in (last) spring, and he’s been a really good player for us,” Cason said. “He’s certainly been a big piece for us. The other four (starters) are guys who were returning (were) at least part-time starters from last year.

“We’ve got guys — Hasahnn was a two-year starter at his (old) school in Florida. Ian (Hardy) started as a sophomore when he was at Berkmar.

This is his third full year starting. Leslie’s been two

years starting. Jaden, this is his second year starting.

London started about half the season last year. So we had a lot of experience returning, and it shows up in the games.”

The Leslie that Cason referred to is Leslie Nkereuwem, who is perhaps the biggest spark plug for Discovery’s surge in every sense of the world.

At 6-foot-7 and 210 pounds, the senior not only brings needed size and strength on the boards, but also plenty of experience as one of the few players remaining from the Titans’ first team in 2015-16.

It didn’t seem like he would be that big a contributor when tryouts for the inaugural season concluded.

“I’ll be honest, he barely made (the team) as a ninth-grader,” Cason said.

“He got cut as a middle school player. He almost got cut as a ninth-grade player, played full (junior varsity) as a sophomore and played sparingly as a sophomore. So this is really only his second year playing varsity, and to see kind of where he’s come from Day 1 three-and-ahalf years ago in the summer to where he is now, to a Division I college athlete has been amazing.”

Indeed, Nkereuwem has grown from a tall, but gangly freshman into a force this season, averaging 11.2 points and a team-best 9.5 rebounds and 1.5 blocked shots per game, which has earned him an opportunity to play Division I college ball in the Big South Conference at Longwood University in Farmville, Va., beginning next season.

That transformation didn’t come without a lot of hard work, which he got by piggybacking off extra workouts with former Discovery low post star, and now Old Dominion freshman, Kalu Ezikpe.

“Everything I worked on through morning workouts to afternoons with Kalu or Jaden (Walker) or anybody else I was in the gym with, it really shaped me into everything I am today,” Nkereuwem said.

“I’m not really sure about where I’d be without those workouts. If I didn’t take them seriously, I wouldn’t be where I am today with a great program like this.

“I just feel like ever since I made the team, I just wanted to improve myself and show that I can be better than what people thought I could be.

Really, my whole motivation this time was to show that I can do whatever everybody else can, and I can be better than whoever tries to compete against me. I’m just showing that I’m a hard worker and that if I want something, I’m going to go get it.”

That seems to be the attitude the entire team has taken this season. While the Discovery program has earned quite a bit of respect locally over the past few seasons, it has taken a little while for the rest of the state to take notice.

And after wins against other state-ranked teams like Milton (No. 8 in AAAAAAA), Eagle’s Landing (No. 2 in AAAAA), Southwest DeKalb (No. 4 in AAAAA) and Upson Lee (No. 1 in AAAA), the latter of which broke the Knights’ 75-game winning streak, the appropriate attention is starting to come.

Macon Centreplex — requires more of a more incremental approach.

“From a training standpoint, we just try to stay consistent,” said Cicora, whose Broncos will compete at the Area 7-AAAAAAA tournament at Meadowcreek.

“Obviously, there’s more strategy involved (with matchups) in duals, but … we’re focusing (on) ourselves, to do what we do well and get after it and believe in it.

Brookwood, with the likes of David Key, Gabriel Lee and Justin Oldknow, and Collins Hill, led by Lucas DeSilva,

Clint Gilbert, Tomari Fox and Joey Felix, are just two of several Gwinnett teams who enter their respective area tournaments with multiple returning state placers who figure to make deep runs again this year.

Defending AAAAA state champion and recent state duals runner-up Buford and AAAAAAA state duals runner-up Mountain View also have what should be a deep group of sectional and perhaps state qualifiers.

And for those wrestlers, as well as several individuals from other county schools, another big key will be remaining healthy — not only physically, but also mentally — as Cicora points out.

“Over the grind of a long season, everybody gets banged up a little, but we’re as healthy as we can be right now,” Cicora said.

“What’s important now is that mentally, our guys are hungry. That makes me excited for the next three weeks.”

2019 GSWA ALL-STATE FOOTBALL TEAM

Brown, Pappoe named players of the year David Friedlander

david.friedlander @gwinnettdailypost.com

The 2018 high school football season came to an end for Gwinnett County’s teams a little less than two months ago, but accolades continue to roll in for local players.

Two of them — Lanier’s Kameron Brown and Grayson’s Owen Pappoe — came away with some of the highest honors among Gwinnett players by being named the Defensive Player of the Year in their respective classifications of the Georgia Sports Writers Association’s All-State Team, which was released Tuesday evening The honor is the latest of a string of them since the season ended for Brown, who was named

the county’s Defensive Player of the Year by the Daily Post last month, and eventually committed to Auburn to join his older brother Derrick, himself a former GSWA All-Classification Player of the Year in 2015, shortly thereafter.

“It was a journey this year,” said the 6-foot, 230-pound linebacker, who led all county tacklers with 187 combined tackles and assists and added a team-best 24 tackles for loss, plus 14 quarterback hurries, six sacks, five pass breakups, two fumble recoveries and a caused fumble to help the Longhorns (10-4) to their first Class AAAAAA state semifinal appearance. “It’s very overwhelming. I’ve gotten a lot of good news the last few weeks. It’s all been about hard work, but

now that hard works starts all over again. I need to repeat the process every day (at Auburn).”

Pappoe earned the Class AAAAAAA honor by recording 112 tackles, including 14 for loss, four sacks, five QB hurries, seven pass breakups, two fumble recoveries, a blocked punt and a blocked field goal for the Rams, who posted a a 10-3 record and advanced to the state quarterfinals last fall.

The 6-0, 210-pound linebacker has already enrolled at Auburn, and will be be Brown’s teammate as a fellow freshman when the latter gets to campus over the summer.

In all, 41 different players from Gwinnett schools were honored in their respective classifications, including 26 first-

team selections, including Pappoe, Wanya Morris, Ja’Kai Clark, Kevin Harris and Kenyatta Watson from Grayson, Braylen Weems, Colby Wooden and Andrew Booth from Archer, Cody Brown and Malik Washington from Parkview, Tomari Fox from Collins Hill, Christian Wright from Norcross, Albert Jang from Peachtree Ridge, Javonni Cunningham from North Gwinnett, Brown and Phllip Webb from Lanier, Jalen Perry and Sean McDaniel from Dacula, Derrian Brown, Harry Miller and Riley Simonds from Buford, Ty James, Christopher Hinton and Myles Hinton from Greater Atlanta Christian, Jeffrey Saturday from Hebron Christian and Trent Bartlett from Wesleyan.

cord at the state meet Coach Matt Henson’s take: “Brian is ready to wrap his high school career up after tying the state record in 7A pole vault last year, and get ready for ACC competition with Georgia Tech, where he committed officially a few weeks ago. Brian only began vaulting in high school, but we are excited about his growth and potential to have an outstanding senior campaign. We are very glad he narrowed his school choice down and selected Tech so now he can concentrate on simply competing this spring and helping see where our team is after last year and the only pressure he has is what he puts on himself.”

His seemingly effortless speed is a testament to how hard he trains and works. Watching him hit full throttle in the 400 meters is an amazing thing. He’s an excellent young man, and I look forward to seeing him do some great things this season and in college at USC.” Malik Thompson School: Parkview Class: Junior College choice: Undecided Twitter handle: @Malik_T1 Favorite location for a meet: Berry College Favorite event: Triple jump Least favorite event: 300 hurdles Best Gwinnett track and field athlete other than me is: Parkview’s Keith Williams Favorite sports team: Don’t have one Dream job: Entrepreneur Favorite music artist: Travis Scott Noteworthy: • State runner-up in the triple jump last season • Runner-up in triple jump at 2018 USA Track and Field Junior Olympics Coach Matt Henson’s take: “Malik is a product of our youth program and has developed very quickly into an excellent technician in the triple jump. We saw his potential in the eighth grade and we were very excited when he made the state meet as a freshman two years ago and peaked at the right time last year for us, too, finishing second at state and going on to be a USATF Junior Olympian. He is very young for his class with a late birthday and is getting a lot of interest for his academics and athletics. The best thing about Malik is that he is wise beyond his years, helps lead our team and smiles a lot. He is a joy to have in our program.”

freshman through junior year having to say, ‘OK, I’ve got to go to a softball tournament over the weekend, but I’ve got a track meet. So I’ll be a little bit late.

But definitely being able to hang up my (softball) cleats (this spring) and focus on one sport my senior year is going to help me.”

Beyond this season, Igberaese has some other decisions to make, with numerous major Division I college programs recruiting her to throw for their teams.

But she says she takes the same methodical approach to that decision as she does with her throwing, and says that she will also look beyond the implications on her throwing career.

“I definitely have some options with Duke, UGA, Notre Dame and Michigan.

Those are my top schools right now, but that could change through the season,” Igberaese said. “I’m basing my decision first on what type of education I can get.

I’m definitely looking for an institution that is high-performing academically and also has a high performance in track and field and overall athletic culture.”

Lynch said. “They go there for the sports. We do the radio there, so we’re painting the picture of the Super Bowl for those people out there. I know we have to slow down for (the listeners). It’s different. It’s a barrier. I think the better I can relate to the people out there, the better our broadcast will be. … I’ve been picking a few (English terms) up. I have to figure out what people like and be myself at the same time.”

The game broadcast is a reward for the work Lynch has put in since college, when he became interested in the media world. He was an engineering major for two years before switching to economics, but was well known at Syracuse for “Cam’s Cam,” a weekly video broadcast he hosted with special guests.

“I just interviewed my

teammates,” Lynch said. “I got all my teammates on air talking about their skills. One guy played piano. One guy sang really well. One guy liked to cook. We did different things like that and I just enjoyed it.

That was my first real production. Every game week we did it. It was pretty awesome.”

Lynch has played 58 NFL games over the last four seasons, first breaking through in 2015 with the St. Louis Rams as an undrafted rookie free agent, though he takes plenty of time for his goals in media.

He makes offseason radio appearances, most recently weekly for 102.5 The Bone in Tampa, and is a regular guest for phone interviews with Matt Park, the voice of Syracuse athletics.

He recently joined the large group of NFL media hopefuls for Broadcast Boot Camp, presented by NFL Player Engagement, at Bowling Green

University. It was the first step in reaching the Super Bowl.

“We did a three-day intensive (event) with suits,” said Lynch, whose offseason has included a trip to Houston to visit his sister and a trip to Hawaii with his mother. “We’re on air doing radio, doing podcasts. Just practicing this.

So I’ve done this (Radio Row experience) before. But not at the Super Bowl. But I’ve been here practice-wise. It’s familiar to me. So we applied for this Super Bowl opportunity and we got it.”

Not long after the Super Bowl finishes, Lynch heads to more media training through the NFL Players Association.

He will spend Feb. 13-March 8 with Fox Sports, learning more about the business both in front of and behind the cameras.

“Hopefully, I’ll run into Shannon Sharpe and Skip (Bayless),” he said.

He met many others in the industry this week at the Super Bowl Media Center, both former players and career broadcasters. Before a brief lunch break, he shared a hug and chatted with CBS’ James Brown.

The pinnacle of this week comes Sunday, though, when he broadcasts the Super Bowl.

“Tom Brady playing, the Rams playing, Sean McVay, Bill Belichick, it couldn’t have happened any better,” he said.

“My mom’s going to come to the game, my grandma. Just coming through Brookwood, she made it all happen, taking me to practices, giving me food, school, having me focused. This week I’m going to dedicate this to her because she held it down. I have Whitney Holtzman, my chief marketing director, here with me. The women in my life have played a big role. This is pretty awesome.”

that’s what we put on the menu.”

While many of those items are traditional Chinese and sushi plates, such as various Lo Mein dishes, meat or seafood with garlic or vegetables or in a brown sauce, fried rice and General Tso’s chicken, Station Master also offers items such as pepper tuna salad or sizzling rice soup — a soup that makes a crackling sound when crispy rice is added to the broth.

The restaurant also offers dishes one would find at a Thai restaurant, such as Pad Thai, Singapore Rice Noodles and curries, including panang, massaman, red, green and yellow curry with crispy tofu, chicken, shrimp or beef.

All of Station Master’s traditional Chinese dishes are served with white rice, fried rice or brown rice.

Those looking for less traditional Chinese dishes can try the restaurant’s Chef’s Specials, which are uniquely named.

Open Since: March Owner: Jeff Lin Location: On Celebration Drive off LawrencevilleSuwanee Road, just past the Fairfield Inn and Suites and just before Outback Steakhouse Hours: 11 a.m. to 10 p.m.

Sundays through Thursdays; 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays Atmosphere: Given Station Master is a Chinese restaurant and sushi bar that offers some large plates meant for sharing, the eatery’s atmosphere reflects that.

Offering booths — both four-to-six-seater booths and even larger, semi-circle ones — and standalone tables, the restaurant can easily accommodate large parties that might be sharing dishes or families that are gathering for an evening out to dinner, said owner Jeff Lin. “(We wanted) more space, more comfort,” Lin said.

“There used to be a restaurant here, so we just remodeled it.”

When remodeling the building, Lin added a sushi bar area toward the back of the restaurant, which has open seating to give patrons the opportunity to watch as their sushi is being made.

Offering wine, beer and sake, the bar allows customers to sip on a drink while watching television on one of several screens placed around the restaurant.

Menu: Because Lin and his family have been operating restaurants for a number of years, the menu — which is an expansive one — offers only the best the chefs have to offer, Lin said.

“We’ve been doing restaurants for many years,” he said. “We know what (are) the most popular (items) and what we’re good at, and

Kudzu Art Zone exhibit focuses on solo artists “Spotlight on Artists” is an apt title for Kudzu Art Zone’s newest exhibition which runs through Feb. 16. The Norcross nonprofit has decided to showcase selected member artists with a series of group exhibitions this year.

Kudzu spokesperson Lucy Brady said, “It is felt that these exhibitions will allow visitors to see more of individual artists’ works in a more limited setting. It feels like ‘getting to know the artist and his or her work.’”

This first show features artists Dolly Alexander, Sally Arnold, Sallie Atkins, Jean Baldwin, Debra Barnhart, Lucy Brady, Barb Boyer and Cynthia Corbin.

Kudzu Art Zone and Gallery is located in the heart of Norcross at 116 Carlyle St.. Gallery hours are from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays.

Eye-opening experience

Yayoi Kusama’s ‘Infinity Mirrors’ wows viewers at High Museum

By Isabel Hughes

isabel.hughes @gwinnettdailypost.com

For 11 hours, Sarah Paige and Keefe Osment waited in line.

At times, they stood. When Starbucks opened at 5 a.m., they made a run to the coffee shop.

Mostly, however, they sat huddled under blankets outside the High Museum of Art, waiting for its doors to open at 9 a.m.

“This is our third time trying to see (“Yayoi Kusama: Infinity Mirrors”),” Paige said.

“We tried to come two other times, and we’d just been too late or didn’t realize when we should have been here, so when we came the last time, (we learned) the first people got in line at 10:30 p.m. (the night before). We were like, ‘OK, if that’s what it takes,’ and we were here at 10:30 p.m.”

Paige, Osment and a friend, Britannie Miller, who joined them from Ohio at about 3 a.m., were certainly not the first — and they won’t be the last — to wait in line for hours to see the Kusama exhibit, which opened at the High on Nov. 18.

As the final venue in “Infinity Mirrors’” North American tour, the High has, every day since the exhibit’s opening, sold out its approximately 100 daily walk-up tickets, often with the 100th patron arriving before 7 a.m. Advance tickets, which went on sale to museum members on Aug. 27 and to the general public on Sept.

Walking through the exhibit, with its kaleidoscopic environments, large-scale installations, LED-lit sculptures and seemingly endless

“Love Forever,” above, and “Dots Obsession — Love Transformed into Dots,” at right, are among the Infinity Mirror Rooms at the High Museum of Art in Atlanta, part of an exhibit by acclaimed artist Yayoi Kusama.

mirrors, it’s easy to see why: Kusama’s works are masterpieces.

“Kusama’s Infinity Mirror Rooms open onto places within the imagination that are beautiful and transcendent,” said Michael Rooks, the High’s Wieland Family curator of modern and contemporary art. “Like sensory deprivation chambers, they leave the viewer grappling to reconcile the totality of the cosmos with a sense of microcosmic infinity within the body. It is an enormous privilege to present this foundational work by Kusama.”

Spanning the entire second floor of the High’s Wieland

Pavilion, “Yayoi Kusama: Infinity Mirrors” allows visitors to journey through more than 60 years of Kusama’s work.

The exhibit begins with the Japanese artist’s sculptures, paintings and more infrequently shown collages, which she began after returning to Japan following a stay in New York City from 1957 to 1973.

In the same entrance room, a walkway leads visitors into “Aftermath of Obliteration of Eternity” (2009), a mirror room filled with dangling LED lights that gives the impression of a starry night sky.

Adding depth grainy and extremely dated footage and made it — for the lack of better word — eyepopping.

This is great if you’re trying to coax millennials (or anyone younger) to learn more about the event still dubbed by many

By Michael Clark as “the war to end all wars.”

world doling out double and triple servings of exposition.

Handled far more efficiently in “The Godfather II,” Ken Burns’ “Civil War” and even “Braveheart,” the early gung-ho attitude of young men when hearth, home and country are threatened eventually turns into something else entirely. This small section is great, but for the next 20 minutes, Jackson’s film is a mostly dull summation of basic training exercises and similar rituals saved only slightly by the bonds started between the soldiers.

What will strike many both pro and con is the selflessness voiced by and demonstrated

by the initial wave of British, Welsh and Scottish volunteers, many of whom were under the minimum enlistment age of 19. Recruiting officers mostly looked the other way and fudged the paperwork for some as young as 15 to be accepted and it all became a matter of course.

Another aspect of the narrative that will prove illuminating is the archival audio bits of WWI veterans recorded in the 1960s and ’70s before, as Jackson puts it, they became too old to recall and too hard to understand. These voices add immeasurable depth to Jackson’s already striking back-from-the-dead color-

ized images but also convey a strong sense of moral/spiritual balance in these young men.

They didn’t look at volunteering the same way men do now. To them, putting their lives on the line was as natural as breathing and the possibility (some might say probability) of dying while doing so didn’t faze them in the least.

This is what you did and you did so with a smile on your face without complaint and, if need be, respected the captured enemy combatants who more often than not were in the same boat as you and were equally as brave and patriotic.

These days, protecting one’s own border is seen as aggressive when in fact it is the exact opposite. All one has to do is check out the laws of Jackson’s native New Zealand to see that it has some of the most stringent and uncompromising laws in the world to not only stay but to merely enter. The men and boys of the British Empire (soon to be followed into battle by the French and the Americans) were defending themselves, their families and their soil.

What a difference a century makes.

the collection now housed in Warsaw’s Jewish Historical Institute (and named after Ringelblum), Grossman could have probably used only stills coupled with more voiceover which would have resulted in a far greater and impactful experience; something along the lines of a Ken Burns film.

Even in its less-thanperfect finished form, “Our History” is a must-see for all WWII/Holocaust history buffs and would provide an ideal starting point for younger audiences wanting to learn more about the horrific events that forever changed the world.

Although not rated, the content in “Our History” is never too intense or graphic for most mature pre-teens comfortable with the majority of PG-13 movies. If they are receptive and wish to see more with a similar insider point of view, counsel them and then show them the greatest movie ever made about the Holocaust: “Schindler’s List.”

Despite all of the questionable narrative hiccups on the part of the filmmakers, Steve Coogan (Stan Laurel) and John C.

Tackling such a huge historical partnership with so much rich history was bound to result in a mixed-bag final product.

The Kid Who Would Be King (PG)

HHHH

For a full 90 minutes, “The Kid Who Would Be King” manages to get two things right: It recycles the time-worn story of “King Arthur” for the umpteenth time while giving it an original spin and comes up with a semi-family-friendly film that is neither animated nor reliant on comic book origins. That’s the good news. The bad news is that the movie has a two-hour running time and the last 30 minutes obliterates all of the possible goodwill it had previously amassed.

Drug Free Hall’s Q & A Learning Session: Non-Opioid Options for Pain Management

A follow-up session to the Not My Family forum series on addiction, the purpose of this learning session is to provide a Q&A format with a panel of experts in the area of addiction, recovery, and therapies for pain. Bring a friend, drop-ins are welcome!

HHHH As far as pulpy crime thrillers go, “Serenity,” starring Matthew McConaughey, is quite wanting, at least upon first blush. Events don’t quite jibe, some of the characters are stiff while others are a tad too animated, and all appear to be in their own little worlds. It defies logic (or what we might perceive as logic) at every turn and seems to be heading full-tilt to an ending we can see coming.

“I played him as a guy who very much loved his sons. Maybe he didn’t make the best parental choices, but I felt it was important that we answer some of those questions of who John is and why he did what he did.”

Taking John and Negan together, Morgan admits he’s somewhat astonished to be the actor behind two of the iconic figures in TV horror-fantasy.

“It doesn’t happen,” he mused. “People don’t get lucky enough to have one character like that, much less two. People will be talking about John and Negan until the day I die, I have no doubt about it. And I got Hilarie out of the deal! I’m a lucky dude.”
