Decorated officer resigns amid investigation

By Joshua Sharpe

A Gwinnett County police officer once hailed for his “valor” has resigned from the department, claiming safety issues and misuse of the force’s helicopters.

Phillip McMillan, who officially left the department Friday, had mostly recently

served as a mechanic in the police department’s aviation unit but was in the Phillip McMillan process of being transferred back to a regular precinct when he elected to quit. An investigation is

underway based on McMillan’s performance and allegations he made against the head of the aviation unit, police confirmed.

“I was unjustly kicked out of the aviation unit for sticking up for safety,” the officer wrote in his resignation letter, not naming the particular alleged safety

A former mechanic for Gwinnett County police’s aviation unit has resigned amid an internal investigation and is claiming he was forced out for standing up for safety. This 2014 file photo shows the county’s two helicopters in their hangar at the county airport.

AN HONOR UNVEILED

Environmental center honoring former chairman with sculpture

By Curt Yeomans

curt.yeomans @gwinnettdailypost.com

BUFORD — Former Gwinnett County commission Chairman Wayne Hill called Gwinnett Environmental and Heritage Center executive director Steve Cannon a liar Monday morning.

He meant it in the nicest way possible though.

The center’s staff got Carolyn Hill to bring her husband to the center under the false pretense that he was just there to visit the facility and grounds.

As he walked through the front door though, he found himself face-to-face with the center’s staff and its foundation board gathered around a podium. A black drape covered a large object next to the podium.

Cannon walked up to greet him.

Hill just began to laugh as he realized what was going on.

“You know something, you’re a liar,” Hill joked as he greeted Cannon.

The reason for the secrecy was simple. The staff and board members wanted to surprise Hill with the designs for a fivepiece sculpture of Hill and his grandchildren that will soon be installed at the center.

Speeches from Cannon and board member Marsha Anderson Bomar, who is heading the sculpture committee, followed.

Vic McCallum, the artist who will make the molds for the

Cooper O’Brien’s memory will be honored this year at the Greater Gwinnett Championship.

Witts puts hat in ring for mayor

and a smaller statue of the center’s unofficial mascot, Bubba the Turtle.

“All of them interact and become one piece of sculpture,” McCallum said. “They play off each other for that composition.”

They will collectively form the basis for a sculpture garden outside the center’s front door.

With support from the majority of the city council, Snellville Mayor Pro Tem Tom Witts announced his intent Monday to go after the mayor’s seat in the November election.

“I am running because I believe in Snellville — all that we are and all that we can be,” Witts said in the announcement.

“When I first ran for office in 2009, I said I was committed to making sure Snellville is a place where Tom Witts everybody is proud to be somebody.

It isn’t yet clear if Kelly Kautz, who has frequently been at odds with Witts and the rest of the council, will make a play for reelection on Nov. 3.

“I will probably not decide until the summer,” she said Monday, adding: “Mr. Witts’ announcement does not surprise me. I have (known) since the night I was

In a terse 911 call just after her husband’s death last week, Olivia Annette Smith appears shaken and claims the Buford man had threatened her.

Now facing charges of aggravated assault and felony Olivia Annette murder, the Smith 36-yearold mother of three can be heard stammering as she tells the operator, “My husband started threatening me.”

Less than a minute into the call, which was released to the Daily Post on Monday, the operator asks Smith, “Does he have a weapon or a

“No,” she says. “Please come.”

The line goes dead.

The call went by without Smith saying anything about what happened to Cory Don Smith, nothing about how the 34-year-old father of two of Olivia Smith’s children had just been shot. The police, who responded to his apartment in the Preston Hills at Mill Creek complex at about 9:15 p.m. Thursday night, say there was an argument between the couple before the wife pulled a handgun and fired.

The Gwinnett County Police Department has offered little insight on what might’ve led to the shoot-

ing. The agency has said in a statement that there was “no indication at this point that there was a physical altercation between the two that led to a firearm being introduced.”

Cpl. Michele Pihera, spokeswoman for Gwinnett police, said Monday she didn’t have any information about the content of any exchanges between the couple before the shooting.

The couple reportedly had trouble before Thursday night.

Court records show the wife filed for divorce in January and was granted a protective order barring them from seeing each other the same month. But her attorney withdrew the divorce filing on Thursday, hours before the shooting.

In court documents, Olivia Smith had accused her husband of adultery, “habitual intoxication” and violence.

According to Gwinnett County jail records, it doesn’t appear Cory Smith had any local arrest history.

Also during the meeting, the council approved a new tax allocation district in the downtown area around Lillian Webb Park.

The TAD, known as the “City Center East TAD,” would affect only future taxpayers of a 28-acre area south of the city’s historic district and fund infrastructure improvements.

A portion of new taxpayers’ payments would be put into a fund to be used for improvements such as parking and storm water upgrades.

The goal, according to the mayor, is to raise some $9 million.

No residents spoke during a public hearing on the topic.

Fact or artifact?

DEAR DR. ROACH: I recently had a nuclear stress test as a requirement for a kidney transplant. The results of my test indicated that I had sustained moderate damage to my heart as the result of a heart attack.

No further testing could be done because of the possible effect of dye on my kidneys.

Six months later in a followup nuclear test, my results were normal and I was told that the problem was an artifact. Would you explain what an artifact is?

— M.J.N. ANSWER: An artifact, in this context, is anything that can keep the test from being interpreted correctly. People often think of medical tests as definitive — the stress test shows that either you have blockages in the arteries in your heart or you don’t —but it usually is not so clear. Even a perfectly normal stress test is possible in people with blockages, but the bigger the blockage, the more likely we can see them.

In women, breasts can obscure the images from the radioactive dye used in a nuclear stress test, making it seem as though the inferior portion of the heart isn’t getting enough blood, which is one of the most common artifacts leading to a falsepositive diagnosis (when the test says there is an abnormality but there isn’t). It may be that on the follow-up test, the technician did a better job of placing the camera.

Unfortunately, it also is possible that the second test was a false-negative test. In that case, the first stress test was correct that you had heart damage, and the second stress test failed to identify blockages in the heart.

This happens sometimes when there are multiple blockages diffusely in all the blood vessels, since the main thing the physician interpreting the test is looking for is more radiation (meaning more blood flow) in one part of the heart compared with another.

In fact, stress tests normally are quite accurate at detecting health and disease. When there are conflicting results, as in your case, sometimes the answer is clear from other data (including common sense). Other times a more definitive test is needed, such as a cardiac catheterization (angiogram). Since these have risks, it’s imperative that the patient discuss with an experienced clinician whether the test is likely to provide information worth taking those risks.

My spring break won’t involve partying on the beach, but I do plan to return relaxed, refreshed, and with a story or two to tell, and — I hope — some wisdom to share.

How low can gas prices go?

The cost of filling up at the gas pump in Georgia has dropped 3 cents per gallon in the last week, and 10 cents in the last month, according to figures released on Monday

by AAA. The decreasing prices have come as refineries complete their spring maintenance in preparation of their switch to summerblend gasoline.

The average price of gas in Georgia on Sunday was $2.19 per gallon, AAA an-

nounced. Nationwide, it was $2.39.

But officials at the auto club feel the drop in gas prices hasn’t bottomed out yet. It could still fall to somewhere in the neighborhood of $2 per gallon in some areas by the time summer arrives, they said.

“There is a real hope that gas prices could drop significantly in time for the busy summer driving season,” said AAA spokesman Mark Jenkins in a statement. “The overall outlook looks good for drivers, and with any luck we will avoid the types of problems that often lead to

higher gas prices at this time of year.”

AAA does not expect to see gas prices pass the $3 per gallon mark this year. A year ago, the average cost of gas in Georgia was $3.49 per gallon while the nationwide average was $3.57 per gallon.

The lowest gas prices in Gwinnett County, according to gasbuddy.com, are: • $2.04 at Costco, 2990 Venture Drive in Duluth; • $2.04 at Shell, 2880 Peachtree Industrial Boulevard in Duluth; • $2.04 at Exxon, 1184 Lawrenceville Highway in Lawrenceville.

Apparent fight led to fiery car accident

By Curt Yeomans

curt.yeomans @gwinnettdailypost.com

NORCROSS — An apparent fight inside a moving vehicle ended on Sunday night with the car in flames and its driver in handcuffs.

A power pole and an above-ground electrical transformer were damaged during the mayhem. New details about the accident, which temporarily shut down Jimmy Carter Boulevard, came to light on Tuesday after Gwinnett County police released their incident report.

The report painted a picture of what caused the accident to happen.

Police and fire department officials said a 2005 Ford Expedition was traveling east on Jimmy Carter Boulevard when it Maria De Los ran off the Angeles road at about 6:20 p.m. It then hit the power pole and the transformer in front of Value Pawn at 4650 Jimmy Carter Blvd.

The location is a few yards away from the intersection of Jimmy Carter Boulevard and Britt Road.

The vehicle’s fuel tank was ruptured as a result and it caught fire amid

downed power lines, according to Gwinnett County Fire and Emergency Services spokesman Lt. Jerrod Barrett.

According to the report, a witness told police that the driver of the car, Norcross resident Maria De Los Angeles, appeared to have have been arguing with Nicholes Narcizo Sanchez in the Expedition before the accident.

Meanwhile, Angeles told police that the SUV “steered her off the road and into the power box” when she tried to hit the brakes.

It took firefighters a little over an hour to get the fire under control. Barrett said firefighters had

trouble extinguishing the flames at first because the power lines were too close to the vehicle. They were able to put the fire out, however, once Georgia Power crews arrived and were able to shut down power to the lines.

Jimmy Carter Boulevard was not reopened until after the fire was under control, according to Barrett.

No one was injured in the incident. Angeles was arrested and taken the Gwinnett County jail, however, after she allegedly told police she did not have a drivers license. She was charged with failure to maintain a lane and driving without a license.

Registration for the birding competition ended March 31.

Deal: Year-to-year state revenues up 9 percent From Staff Reports ATLANTA — Georgia saw a 9 percent year-toyear jump in tax revenues last month, Gov. Nathan Deal’s office announced on Tuesday.

The state collected

$1.43 billion in net tax revenues in March. That is up $118.5 million from March 2014, according to the governor’s office.

Nathan Deal The news came as a sign that Georgia’s revenues continue to show an upward trend during the current fiscal year. The year-to-date net

collection of $13.85 billion is up 6.1 percent from this same point during the previous fiscal year.

The net collection amount takes into account refunds and local government distributions.

Several factors helped contribute to the increase in March, including a 13.8 percent increase in individual income tax revenues, which totaled $543.5 million. Part of the increase in income tax revenues stemmed from a 3 percent decrease in

refund payments. At the same time, withholdings were up 4.6 percent.

Gross sales tax proceeds were up 1.3 percent to $801.2 million while the corporate income tax revenues increased 8.7 percent from the $213.9 million that was collected a year ago.

Motor fuel tax collections increased 8.5 percent to a total of $82.4 million, but the governor’s office said this was due to late payments that came in from a fuel distributor.

Cops: DeKalb police shoot suspect in chase ending in Gwinnett County

DeKalb County police were on the scene of an officer involved shooting Monday afternoon in Gwinnett County.

After 3 p.m., DeKalb police shot a carjacking

suspect who led officers on a chase, which ended in the area of the 2000 block of West Park Place Boulevard in Gwinnett, said DeKalb police Capt. S.R. Fore.

Fore had few firm details shortly after the incident, but he said the suspect was in stable condition and that the man had made off with

a car from a dealership on Mountain Industrial Boulevard. The chase spanned about two-and-a-half or three miles, the captain said.

The Georgia Bureau of Investigation is being called in to investigate the case, as is common in officer-involved shootings in the state.

WORLD China urges conditions for talks with Korea BEIJING — All parties involved in talks about North Korea’s nuclear program need to meet each other half way and address each other’s concerns to create conditions to resume negotiations, China’s foreign minister said.

Numerous efforts to restart the talks since they were last held over six years ago have failed.

Last month, South Korea’s representative to the talks said China and Russia, as well as the United States, Japan, and South Korea, have reached “a certain degree of consensus,” on how to restart the process.

Kenyan students demand more protection NAIROBI — Kenyan university students marched in the capital on Tuesday to demand more security from the government after gunmen killed 148 people at a campus in the eastern town of Garissa last week.

A citizens group held a vigil in Nairobi’s main park later in the evening, grieving for those killed in the attack claimed by al Shabaab Islamists based in neighboring Somalia.

Last Thursday, gunmen from the al Qaeda-aligned group stormed Garissa University College, some 200 km (120 miles) from the Somali border.

On Tuesday, hundreds of students from different universities walked through Nairobi’s streets, singing and shouting.

Some headed to the president’s office to present a petition.

“Enough is enough. The government must tackle the issue of insecurity seriously,” John Derrick, a student at the Technical University of Kenya said.

‘American Pie’ lyrics sell for $1.2 million NEW YORK — Songwriter Don McLean’s original working manuscript for “American Pie,” one of the most iconic songs of the 20th century, sold for $1.2 million, auctioneers Christie’s said on Tuesday.

McLean’s hand-written and typed drafts include notes and deletions, giving clues to the meaning of the eight-minute song that has had countless interpretations since it was released in 1971.

By Andy Sullivan LOUISVILLE, Ky., — U.S. Senator Rand Paul promised to be a different kind of Republican on Tuesday, launching a 2016 White House bid by saying he would stand up for individual freedoms that are being trampled by “the Washington machine.”

The first-term senator from Kentucky, a libertarian with a reputation for challenging party orthodoxy, criticized Republicans in Congress and the White House for helping to drive up the federal debt and reducing personal liberties.

“The Washington machine that gobbles up our freedoms and invades every nook and cranny of our lives must be stopped,” he told cheering supporters on a flagdraped stage in Louisville, Kentucky.

“Both parties and the entire political system are to blame,” he said under a banner reading “Defeat the Washington Machine, Unleash the American Dream.”

makes him the second major Republican to jump into the 2016 race after Senator Ted Cruz of Texas. A crowded field is expected, with candidates competing hard for constituencies ranging from the Christian right to traditional Wall Street Republicans.

In a speech that will kick off a four-day campaign trip to the early voting states of Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada and South Carolina, Paul delivered a message of personal freedom and economic opportunity.

The 52-year-old former eye surgeon is now in the second tier of Republican candidates, drawing the support of 8.4 percent of Republicans, according to a March Reuters/Ipsos tracking poll.

He is behind former Florida Governor Jeb Bush, who has said he is exploring a bid, Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker and former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee. He is in a statistical tie with four other Republicans: Cruz, New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, neurosurgeon

Ben Carson and Senator Marco Rubio of Florida.

Paul, who entered Congress on the Tea Party wave of 2010, has been reaching out in recent months to attract more mainstream voters and to reach minorities and young voters who have not favored Republicans in the past.

“The message of liberty, opportunity and justice is for all Americans, whether you wear a suit, a uniform or overalls, whether you’re white or black, rich or poor,” he said.

Swift, Smith lead Billboard Music Award nominees NEW YORK — Pop star Taylor Swift and British soul singer Sam Smith, who were among the top-selling musical acts in the United States last year, led the nominations for the 2015 Billboard Music Awards finalists on Tuesday.

Swift, 25, picked up 14 nominations while Smith, 22, got 13, including nods for top artist.

Swift’s “1989” will compete with Smith’s “In the Lonely Hour” for the top album prize. The two will also go up against each other for top Hot 100 song, with Swift’s “Shake it Off” pitted against “Stay With Me” by Smith.

Pop star Katy Perry, British band One Direction and singer Ariana Grande also won nominations for top artist.

Perry and Grande will compete with Swift, Meghan Trainor and Australian rapper Iggy Azalea for best female artist, while Smith is up against Drake, Pharrell Williams, Ed Sheeran and Justin Timberlake for top male artist.

Actor James Best dies after brief illness

WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. — American actor James Best, famous for his role as the bumbling Sheriff Rosco P. Coltrane on “The Dukes of Hazzard” television show, died Monday night after a brief illness, according to his website. He was 88.

Best, who appeared in hundreds of TV episodes and films during a Hollywood career that spanned six decades, died in Hickory, North Carolina, following complications of pneumonia, said Steve Latshaw, a friend and collaborator.

Best served as a military police officer in Germany during World War Two before becoming a character actor, working alongside leading men Jimmy Stewart, Paul Newman and Humphrey Bogart in the 1950s and 1960s.

He later founded an acting workshop in Los Angeles, where his students included celebrities Quentin Tarantino, Burt Reynolds and Clint Eastwood, and taught acting at universities in Mississippi and Florida.

The Iran framework: Bad details to follow Too bad the “framework” of a nuclear weapons deal with Iran didn’t come four days earlier on April Fools’ Day. It would have been more appropriate.

The United States is being asked to foolishly believe promises by a regime that is religiously motivated to eliminate Israel and ultimately the United States, is the premier sponsor of terrorism in the world, has a record of breaking promises — including past promises about Cal nuclear weapons Thomas — and still holds American prisoners, including a Christian minister, a Washington Post reporter, a former Marine and Robert Levinson, a retired DEA agent taken hostage in 2007.

Did Secretary of State John Kerry demand they be released as part of the framework? We don’t know because the deal that isn’t yet a deal has not been formalized, and if an agreement is actually reached by the next deadline in June, we still might only know what they tell us unless Congress holds hearings and asks the right questions. Shades of Rep. Nancy Pelosi’s line about the need to pass Obamacare to find out what’s in it.

The other half of the credibility gap is President Obama. We are asked to believe a man who said, “If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor” and that his would be the most “open and transparent” administration in history, among many other obfuscations.

In a dispute between an American president and a foreign leader, especially an Iranian leader, one might expect most Americans to side with the president. Not in this case.

Iran’s chief negotiator at the talks in Switzerland, Foreign Minister Javad Zarif, accused the Obama administration of misleading the American people and Congress. Zarif claimed that in spite of statements from Secretary Kerry and a “fact sheet” released by the American delegation, the U.S. is making claims that conditions were reached for the accord that Iran did not agree to.

If the two sides can’t agree on the contents of the framework, how are they supposed to reach a final agreement by June? In this case, the devil is not in the details; the devil is Iran.

Iran has always maintained it is seeking nuclear power for peaceful purposes. If that were true, there would be no need for negotiations.

How do you negotiate with someone who has lied from the start and is told in the Koran that lying to “infidels” is permissible in pursuit of Islamic goals?

Did Secretary Kerry ask Zarif if he had heard from Allah lately and whether Allah has changed his mind about the destruction of Israel, the eradication of the Jewish people and the elimination of the United States? I’m guessing probably not, but he should have since current and previous Iranian leaders have said openly this is the mandate they have received from their god.

Among the many concerns in the announced framework is language that says, “The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) will have regular access to all of Iran’s nuclear facilities, including Iran’s enrichment facility at Natanz and its former enrichment facility at Fordow, and including the use of the most up-to-date, modern monitoring technologies.”

What is meant by “regular access?” Will it have to be scheduled, or will there be surprise visits? Iran, like North Korea, has hidden nuclear material from inspectors in the past and if they wanted to they might do so again.

A Wall Street Journal editorial noted: “Consider the Additional Protocol, a 1997 addendum to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty that was meant to expand the IAEA’s ability to detect and monitor clandestine nuclear activities. Iran signed the Additional Protocol in December 2003. … The signature meant nothing: By September 2005 the IAEA reported that Iran wasn’t meeting its commitments, and Iran abandoned its pretense of compliance by February 2006.”

Stockbrokers are required to say that past, performance is no guarantee of future results.

With Iran, past performance IS such a guarantee.

Delaying an inevitable military confrontation, rather than early intervention, allows the enemy to grow stronger with more loss of life and property when war comes. That is history’s lesson.

Relay a tradition like no other There are many traditions in Gwinnett County, but today we are a month out from one of the biggest and most successful. Here in Gwinnett we like to tout the many merits of the county, but there’s only one thing that I know of that can bill itself as best in the world. Or universe, actually.

That’s Relay For Life.

Relay is the American Cancer Society’s signature event, and Gwinnett has become the standard for the rest of the country. The event annually raises more money than any other Relay, collecting $1.8 milion last year to be used in the fight against cancer.

Holding such an event takes a lot of work by a lot of people, from the full-time members of the ACS staff to the numerous volunteers,

Todd Cline Editor many of whom work the hours of a full-time employee. As chairman of the Gwinnett Leadership Council for the ACS, I’ve seen firsthand how hard these folks work and how there’s always room for more. A month away from this year’s event, everyone is working hard to make final preparations for May 8 at 6 p.m. when Relay For Life will again be front and center at

the Gwinnett County Fairgrounds.

As of Tuesday morning, 235 teams featuring 4,600 individuals have raised nearly $652,000 so far.

Those numbers will continue to grow in the next month, and there’s still plenty of time to get involved. There’s also always help needed with so much to do.

Over the years, one thing that has made Relay in Gwinnett so successful is the strong participation of our local schools. Last year,Gwinnett County Public Schools fielded more than 100 teams, raising more than $1 million. If you check the Relay web site this week you’ll see that North Gwinnett High School is the leading team, having already raised more than $60,000.

However, the good deeds are hardly limited to the older kids. Just last week Suwanee’s Riverside Elementary School held a mini-Relay as part of its many fundraising efforts that have helped the school raise $27,000 to date. Talk about impressive.

Riverside teacher Lynne Franks credits “amazing community support” and said the school’s fundraising has “built and built and snowballed.”

That’s a good way to describe Relay in Gwinnett.

It’s an event that has snowballed and will continue to do so for the next month, meaning there’s still time to join the juggernaut.

GGC holds fifth annual Button Gwinnett celebration

By Keith Farner

keith.farner @gwinnettdailypost.com

For the fifth straight year, Georgia Gwinnett College is celebrating the legacy of a Georgia contribution to the Declaration of Independence.

A three-day celebration that began on Tuesday will honor Button Gwinnett through several educational and entertaining activities.

A GGC professor said she hopes it offers a deeper understanding of the complexity and ambiguity of events.

“This signature event does much more than honor

Georgia’s signer of the Declaration of Independence,” Beth Mauldin, an assistant professor of French, said in a press release. “This aim aligns with the core mission of GGC as we aspire to teach students to anticipate societal and cultural changes and to someday help shape them as future leaders.”

The events will include student coursework submitted as videos, performances

by Aurora Theatre Players and three guest lecturers who will make their presentations on Wednesday.

The project is supported by the Georgia Humanities Council and the National

Mayor Mike Mason was on hand to welcome the new business to town.

The new center, located at 5270 Peachtree Parkway, in suite 105, is a few doors down from the new Earth Fare grocer that also recently opened.

“This location should serve you well as it is right across from the site of the city’s new town center which is expected to open in the fall of 2017,” the mayor told the new business’ owner Nooruddin Panjwani.

The fitness center offers a

heart-rate monitored “highintensity” group training program that is broken into intervals of cardiovascular and strength. Led by trainers in the 1-hour classes, participants use a variety of equipment including treadmills, rowing machines and free weights.

Panjwani said he was introduced to the program a year ago through his son, Samir.

“I became hooked on the classes,” Panjwani said in the release. “The Orangetheory formula is unlike anything else in fitness.”

infraction. “I cannot believe the way I am now being treated by the department and do not think if someone outside the police department was aware of the safety and liability issue that this would be happening.”

Cpl. Michele Pihera, spokeswoman for Gwinnett police, said the decision to transfer the officer came because of “issues related to his performance and interaction with personnel” in the aviation unit. She added that the unit’s two helicopters have been inspected by Atlanta firm Rotor Resources and deemed safe to operate.

McMillan, who received a Gwinnett Chamber Medal of Valor in 2012, has accused Aviation Manager Lou Gregoire of misconduct by allowing a resident to ride in a police helicopter in November 2013, Pihera said.

“This complaint was not made until March 2015,” she said. “If this allegation is proven, the aviation manager will be held accountable for his decisions and will face whatever disciplinary actions appropriate for the violation.”

Pihera said Gregoire and McMillan hadn’t seen eyeto-eye on some issues before McMillan was transferred by the major over the unit.

to take a few weeks.

McMillan was hired by Gwinnett police in June 2008.

Prior to joining the force, he was a mechanic in the Marine Corps and at HartsfieldJackson Atlanta International Airport, according to his resignation letter.

In March 2012, he was honored along with other officers with the chamber’s valor award for their efforts in stopping an armed bank robber who led police on a harrowing chase around unincorporated Duluth the previous September.

McMillan was transferred to the aviation unit in December 2012.

Once there, the aviation manager and the other pilots assisted in training him to get his pilot’s license, the police department spokeswoman said, but his primary role was as a mechanic.

In the resignation letter, McMillan describes himself as an employee who went above and beyond the call of duty and had an exemplary record.

No matter who ends up on the right side of the dispute between the officer and the department, his days with Gwinnett County police would appear to be over for good.

A supervisor who accepted his resignation letter noted McMillan was “not eligible for re-hire.”

lishment of the center to be one of two biggest developments during his tenure in office, along with efforts to get Georgia Gwinnett College established. Nearly a decade after its 2006 opening, the center is visited annually by more than 111,000 people.

Hill was quick to say he was not the only person responsible for making the center come to fruition. He listed several people whom he said played a part in making the facility a reality.

Among those people, he said, were the commissioners who were in office when it was approved and current Chairwoman Charlotte Nash, who was the county administrator at the time.

“I can’t believe they’re doing it for me,” he said. “They ought to be doing it for a lot that were involved. It wasn’t just me. A lot of people made it happen.”

Mayor Dave Emanuel and Barbara Bender. Councilwoman Diane Krause couldn’t be reached for comment.

In speaking with the Daily Post after the announcement, Witts made little mention of the infighting in the city. He spoke mostly of the positive reasons for his campaign — the plans for the eventual town center, the wealth of tireless volunteers and the pride he felt with the completion of the veteran’s memorial.

But he did say, if elected, he hoped to bring “a unified city government” to Snellville because he thinks “we’ve been hurt in development somewhat because of the view that there’s a split in the city government.”

The split, of course, has been clear. Witts and other members of the council have repeatedly disagreed with Kautz in their interpretations of the city charter and what powers it gives to

whom. Kautz has sued the city. The Georgia Supreme Court is also expected to rule in the coming months on if the mayor has the power to fire the city attorney against the council’s wishes.

But since Witts, a Pennsylvania native and U.S. Navy veteran, joined the council, he says plenty of progress has been made.

“We have renewed a sense of community…,” he said. “We have attracted

dozens of new businesses and jobs, lowered property taxes for the last four years, and we completed the Veteran’s Memorial, a project that is closest to my heart.”

Emanuel, who is seeking another term on the council, was quick to give his “unquestionable” support to Witts’ bid for mayor.

“I think it’s great,” Emanuel said. “Personally, I don’t think there’s anybody who has done more

for Snellville, in terms of time, money and commitment, than Tom.” Howard said he’s seen Witts’ passion for the city as they’ve worked together on the council and that he was “very excited” by the announcement.

Bender had a similar message, saying “Tom’s passion and commitment is evident in everything he does and I am proud to support him for mayor of Snellville.”

GMC offers off the field support

Tiger Woods confident, reflective on his return

By Paul Thomas

By David Friedlander

paul.thomas@ gwinnettdailypost.com

The Gwinnett Medical Center in Duluth now offers an extra edge for area athletes off the field.

Dr. Adam Shunk and GMC recently launched a sports psychology program.

Shunk, Adam Shunk who also works as a neuropsychologist in GMC’s Concussion Institute, will work with athletes ranging from high school to the professional ranks.

Basic benefits include helping with goal-setting skills, composure, energy management, motivation, performance anxiety, concentration and focus strategies.

Other issues that Shunk could help treat athletes for is depression after a season or career-ending injury, or perhaps it’s just dealing with the pressures of being a highlevel recruit.

“As a licensed psychologist we can treat any mental health issue that an athlete has,” Shunk said. “The bigger piece of it is the performance enhancement. Just an athlete looking for that competitive edge. Just an athlete looking for help with a little slump and they need to work through it is one of the most common referrals we get.”

As a former professional athlete himself, Shunk is equipped to understand the pressures that modern athletes are under. At North Carolina he was the 2003 Indoor high jump national champion.

He went to compete professionally for Nike while getting his masters’ and doctorate in psychology at Ball State.

During his first season as a professional he learned first-hand the value that sports psychology could have. Prior to the U.S. Track and Field Championships his agent approached him and told him that if he achieved a certain feat during the competition that he would be signed by Nike right then and there.

“It was the most pressure I’ve ever felt,” Shunk said. “I was focused. I was ready to perform. Then it went to internal motivation to know I’m thinking about money, the contract and doing it for the sponsorship to where I choked.

I actually had my lowest performance of my entire career at the USA Championships. It’s kind of my rock bottom. It ended up working out well. Three weeks later I still signed a contract, but I just realized the importance of just the mental side of sport and how important it was for me to develop some skills to manage the pressure.”

He began to study the impact of that psychology could have on athlete performance. Originally it was for his own gain, but he ultimately found See SHUNK, Page 3B

AUGUSTA — He’s baaaaaaack!

After missing last year’s Masters as he recovered from back surgery, and taking nearly two months off competitive golf as he further rested his back and tried to rediscover his suddenly struggling game, the four-time champion dramatically announced his plans to compete at the 2015 tournament via social media last Friday.

And while questions remain about how competitive he can be after another long layoff, the 39-year-old Woods’ familiar confidence was evident as he addressed the media following his practice round at Augusta National on Tuesday.

“My greatest motivation? Winning,” Woods answered his final question amid laughter at Tuesday’s press conference. “I like it.”

Anna Bougas’ face lights up when she talks about scoring goals.

She’s Providence Christian’s most effective offensive threat this season and Bougas is cherishing the thrill. Because as talented as she is, it’s not her best position.

Bougas plays right back in the Elite Clubs National League and her team, GSA, qualified for nationals.

She’s a lifelong defender who is headed to the University of Georgia this fall on a scholarship with the Bulldogs.

“It’s just different,” the spritely brunette said with a wide grin. “I love to score.

I love it.

“You get a little boost scoring a goal. As a defender, you get a boost saving a goal going in, but it’s not the same.”

Providence graduated three of its top four scorers from last season and so Bougas, along with Ashlee Thompson, was asked to move up.

Bougas had a hat trick in the first two games of the season and hasn’t slowed

down. Last Thursday, Bougas scored twice as the Storm roared back with six unanswered goals to thump Towns County.

“She’s so fast and so gifted and talented that she’s our best weapon to score goals,” said head coach Todd Henry, who oversees both Storm soccer programs. “Scoring isn’t something that’s natural, but because of her speed and her good touch, and ability to pass, she’s able to transfer those skills to attacking.

A lot of it’s just her speed.

“It’s not just goals, she’s given as many assists as

she’s scored goals. It’s not a selfish thing with her. She’s very much a team player and just fun to watch.”

Not that it was a particularly hard sell, moving from the often thankless job of defender to the far more glorious attack position, but Bougas still wondered if it was best and consulted her club coach.

“I asked him if I should stay at my position because I’m playing at UGA next year at defense,” Bougas said. “He said it can only make me better because I’ll See BOUGAS, Page 3B

One of the 21 newcomers was a late addition as part of the blockbuster deal on Sunday that sent Atlanta closer to San Diego.

Right-hander Matt Wisler, who had been rated as the Padres’ top pitching prospect, was part of the swap and the 22-year-old will join a G-Braves starting rotation that already included the promising duo of Mike Foltynewicz and left-hander Manny Banuelos.

Wisler played for Class AA San Antonio and Class AAA El Paso last season, going 10-5 with a 4.22 ERA in two of the toughest leagues for pitchers.

The Ohio native, ranked No. 70 on MLB.com’s Top 100 list of prospects, struck out 136 in 146 2/3 innings and has a 3.40 ERA for four professional seasons.

and shooting guard Luke Kennard from Franklin High School in Ohio.

Athletic shooting guard Grayson Allen, hailed after his 16-point effort Monday, will assume a greater role next season. He’s not just a shooter. Allen won the High School Slam Dunk competition as a senior, and at 6-4 he displayed Monday his natural ability to get to the rim and to the line. That’s one piece to a big puzzle.

It’s not unlike what Krzyzewski had in place entering this championship season, when his first win was luring Okafor and then Jones.

April 19: Following Georgia Gwinnett College’s April 19 doubleheader against Thomas, the Grizzlies will host a free softball skills clinic for any youth player registered to play in the Gwinnett County Parks and recreation leagues this spring.

Youth players will receive an hour of instruction from GGC players and coaches on the field.

No. 1-ranked incoming recruiting class. Kansas coach Bill Self has a few spots, too, and an appetite for the oneand-done-type super-talent.

Duke’s roster will be radically different. The recipe for a repeat cannot be sampled until Krzyzewski identifies the ingredients.

Hoisting the championship trophy didn’t hurt Duke’s chances with deliberating five-star Indiana native Caleb Swanigan. Krzyzewski already had commitments, assuredly stronger than ever now, from two other five-star studs: center Chase Jeter from Bishop Gorman High School in Las Vegas

“The ability to adapt is key in everything. I think I’ve adapted well,” Krzyzewski said. “I really believe in the last decade, having the honor and the opportunity to coach our (U.S. national) team has helped me adapt even more. But it’s not like you’re making sacrifices.

What does this group need from you? Then you try to give that. As long as they’re giving back, then it’s a pretty cool thing.”

Duke’s chances to repeat will be only as strong as the Blue Devils’ recruiting class. Given his recent success, trophy exposure in March and April, this is no time to doubt Coach K. But it does raise questions, at the very least, if the Blue Devils lose four starters and top four scorers.

The ACC alone will be loaded next season. Virginia, following the Wisconsin Badgers’ model with depth and veteran leadership, and North Carolina are potential preseason top-five teams.

gwinnettdailypost.com •From Page 1B health have been the main themes surrounding his preparation the past few days, Woods was also quite reflective Tuesday for a few reasons.

For one thing, this year will mark his 20th Masters start, a milestone he admits took him a little by surprise, as well as the 10th anniversary of his last win at Augusta National in 2005.

He quickly put both anniversaries into perspective.

“The fact that it’s — it should be my 21st, actually, with … last year, if I had played. But to have been around that long playing this tournament, I’m only 30 behind Gary (Player).

So, (there’s) a long way to go.

“I’m feeling older, there’s no doubt about that.

Try chasing around 6- and 7-year-olds all day. You start feeling it.”

The 6- and 7-year-olds Woods referred to — his son Charlie and daughter Sam — will be following him around Wednesday as his dual caddies when he participates in the Masters’ Par 3 tournament Wednesday.

It will mark the first time Woods has played in the Par 3 since 2004, and he’s ever mindful of the fact that no golfer has ever won the Par 3 and the regular tournament in the same year.

“I had an opportunity to (win the Par 3) once. Remember that?” Woods said.

“It was raining. (I) didn’t show up for the (sudden death) playoff. … I’ve been low before there. I’ve been 6-under through eight and for some reason, the wind came up and I hit two balls in the water on (hole) 9. Just so happened to be that way, you know. Just one of those weird things.

“Yeah, no one’s ever done it. I don’t want to prove it wrong, so (I’m) just going to have a good time.”

Palmer out, Crenshaw in at Par 3 While one four-time Masters champion will be returning to the Par 3 tournament, another will

She’s certainly better with using both feet now.

“I play mainly with my right foot,” Bougas said.

“I’m OK with my left.

When you’re playing a set position like right back or left back, you don’t normally use both feet.”

She’ll now cop to being “good” with her left, which is probably an understatement from the modest senior.

It’s also offered her a perspective few players find.

Bougas knows what it’s like to be yelled at by forwards and defenders alike.

“I wanted to study this for my own selfish reasons to use in my own career, but in doing so I realized that this something I’d really enjoy doing,” Shunk said.

“I added that skill-set along the way. I took all the necessary courses and then met a sports psychologist upon graduation who took me under his wing on a two-year fellowship underneath him training.”

After his fellowship at St. Vincent in the Neuroscience Institute he joined the St. Vincent Sport Performance Center to work in neuropsychology and sports psychology.

He worked with professional athletes and consulted with Purdue University as well.

Eventually he hopes to be able to operate on a similar scale at GMC. “I’m going to try to create a model like we had in Indianapolis where I was actually consulting with Purdue University two days a week, I was working with professional athletes in the area and really to just create a resource that developmental athletes, recreational athletes all the way up to your professional and Olympic athletes have,” Shunk said. “A resource where if they’re wanting to work on mental training skills or just attain a sports psychology consultation that it’s available in this community.”
