Drug markup contributes to health care cost explosion

BY JUDI KANNE Georgia Health News

ATLANTA — Alpharetta resident Robert M. Stevens has become all too familiar with the rapidly increasing cost of cancer drugs since 2006.

That’s the year he began three rounds of chemo after his diagnosis of chronic lymphocytic leukemia.

Back then, he was still working for a large corporation and had company health benefits. In fact, he was diagnosed “while on assignment in Australia.”

Today, Stevens, now retired, is proud to be an 11-year cancer survivor. But he still has to take three Imbruvica capsules every morning. He “depends on them.” But the cost is steep.

He says once he moved from his corporate plan to Medicare, with a supplemental insurance plan and prescription plan Part D, his three capsules went from $25 monthly to a $3,024 payment for the first month and $565 for each of the other 11 months of the year.

That’s a jump from $300 a year to $9,239 a year. Yet Stevens considers himself fortunate because he can still afford the drugs he needs.

“I think it’s a significant cost increase, and I would say, most people in this country could not afford that,” he said. He tries to help others who have received a recent cancer diagnosis by See DRUGS, Page 7A

Police: Teen suspects tell similar, conflicting stories about rape victim

BY CAILIN O’BRIEN

cailin.obrien @gwinnettdailypost.com

A tangle of sometimes conflicting stories emerged during the joint preliminary hearing Friday for three of the four teenagers accused of tasing, raping and burning a Norcross woman last month.

According to testimony from Gwinnett County police Detective A.R. Scott, Francisco Palencia, 17; Josue Ramirez-Aguilar, 19; and Angela Garcia, 18, each told their own stories of what happened when they showed up to that woman’s apartment early March 12.

For the most part, the stories they told seemed to

minimize their role in the crime.

The victim told police she came home from work at about 2:50 a.m. She was holding her 7-month-old baby in a portable car seat and had her 4-year-old son in tow.

“She noticed the kitchen light was on,” Scott said.

“And then she was attacked by two masked men wearing all black. She was forced into the kitchen where boiling water was thrown onto her left shoulder.”

Scott said the woman had sustained second-degree burns and still had scarring from the attack.

The woman told officers the shorter of the two men forced her into the bedroom. He allegedly asked her whether she had AIDS before he raped her in front of her 4-year-old son.

Scott said none of the suspects denied to police that they’d been at the apartment that night.

Ramirez-Aguilar tried to at first. He was the first suspect arrested in connection with the case June 15. At that time, he told police he’d never been to the victim’s apartment.

Then the Crime Scene Investigation Unit found his fingerprint on the pot police said held the boiling water.

“He then stated that at one point he had been to the apartment and had helped cook a meal for one of the kids’ birthdays,” Scott said.

But the victim said that never happened. She said she recognized RamirezAguilar from a car wash her former brother-in-law worked at but had never invited him into her apartment. He hadn’t helped celebrate any of her kids’ birthdays, she said.

When Ramirez-Aguilar heard that, he gave up denying that he’d broken into the victim’s apartment that night.

“Then he said, ‘I’m going to tell you everything that happened,’” Scott said.

Ramirez-Aguilar’s story incriminated Palencia, Palencia’s 15-year-old girlfriend and Garcia.

None of the four denied that they drove to the victim’s apartment that night in a van belonging to the 15-year-old’s mother. All four even told police the intent was to rob the victim and to burn her with the scalding water.

According to Scott’s testimony, the two girls helped the boys steal several items from the apartment, including a TV, shoes, jewelry and even the victim’s husky puppy. The shoes were later found in the home where Palencia and the 15-yearold were staying. The TV was found at the 15-yearold’s mother’s house and an earring was found in the mother’s van.

The husky puppy has not been found. The teens claimed they dumped it in an empty apartment in

Doraville and that animal control took it away.

Officials haven’t Angela been able Garcia to locate it as of Friday.

After helping to burglarize the house, Garcia and the Francisco 15-year-old Palencia allegedly waited in the van while the boys hid in the house waiting for the victim to get Josue home.

RamirezThat’s Aguilar where the story begins to get murky.

Scott said Ramirez-Aguilar told police his finger print was on the victim’s pot because he placed the pot on the stove. He said Palencia filled the pot up, boiled the water and poured the boiling water on the victim.

Palencia told the opposite story.

“He said Mr. (RamirezAguilar) was the one who threw water on the victim and tased her,” Scott said.

Each of the teens’ stories also distanced them from the rape. Scott said both of

the girls told police they didn’t know what was about to happen in the apartment beyond the boiling water.

Ramirez-Aguilar and Palencia didn’t deny the rape happened, but neither accepted responsibility.

“Ramirez said he had got the 4-year-old and stood at the door to the bedroom while Palencia raped his mom,” Scott said. “Palencia said he hid in the closet with the 4-year-old while Ramirez raped his mom.”

DNA evidence from a rape kit the victim took after the alleged rape hasn’t come back from the Georgia Bureau of Investigations office, yet. Scott said police were unable to talk to the 4-year-old because he had mental issues that made it hard for him to communicate.

After the burglary and rape, Scott said all four teens went shopping.

Garcia allegedly used the victim’s credit card to buy dog food for the stolen puppy before they went out to eat at Waffle House.

A magistrate court judge bound all the charges against Palencia, RamirezAguilar and Garcia over to superior court Friday.

The three teens will now face trial for charges of home invasion, aggravated sodomy, aggravated battery, kidnapping, rape and felony cruelty to children.

Ramirez-Aguilar is also being held for immigration, according to jail records.

Gwinnett counties.

She said she hadn’t said anything about it because Benjamin “she was Daniels used to it,” according to the release.

She also said she was afraid of what Daniels would do to her or her family if she spoke out against him. He’d served prison time for a conviction out of Fulton County in 1998. The charges in that case included voluntary manslaughter, aggravated assault, possession of a firearm

during the commission of a crime and possession of a sawed-off shotgun.

At his trial, Daniels denied raping the victim. He also claimed that he’d rejected the victim’s sexual advances Sept. 19, 2014. Then he said he believed Georgia’s legal age of consent for sexual conduct should be lowered from 16 to 14.

It took the jury only two hours to find Daniels guilty of rape, aggravated child molestation, child molestation and incest.

He’ll be sentenced during a hearing Aug. 1 to give the victim and her family time to prepare statements.

Benjamin Daniels was arrested after the victim’s sister walked in on him “on top of the victim in what appeared to be an act of sexual intercourse,” according to a trial press release. That was Sept. 19, 2014 — a Friday.

The sister kept what she’d seen to herself until she went back to school the following Monday.

There, she told administrators what she’d seen.

The victim told the administrators and Snellville police that she had been molested by Daniels on and off for seven years in Clayton, DeKalb and

Blepharoplasty or Ptosis What is The Difference?

I get a lot of questions from patients about insurance paying for their eyelid surgery. Insurance will actually pay if it’s medically necessary – that is – if it is interfering with your vision. As we age, our skin becomes less elastic and begins to sag and wrinkle. You might think that this is only an aesthetic issue, but it can also cause impaired vision. There can be two different causes requiring eyelid surgery. One is Dermatochalasis which is an eye condition caused by excessive skin around your upper eyelids, lower eyelids or both. The orbital septum (the membrane that holds the normal fat that cushions the eye back) loosens allowing the fat to come forward making the eyelid look heavy and bulky. This problem can range from a mild sagging of the skin around the eyes, to severe drooping which may cover the pupil obstructing vision. If you suffer from severe droopy eyelids you may find yourself tilting your head back, or raising your eyebrows frequently in order to see. It’s also common to feel tiredness and aching around the eyes, especially later in the day. Age and heredity are the main causes. However smoking, sun exposure, poor nutrition, seasonal allergies and manipulation of the eyelids during makeup removal or excessive stretching during contact lens insertion and removal can also contribute to the problem.

Dermatochalasis is repaired with Blepharoplasty surgery which removes excess skin and fatty tissue around the eyes creating an eyelid lift. Another eye condition is Ptosis where the lid itself is actually lower than it should be. The Levator muscle (the muscle that lifts the eyelid) gets weak so the lid itself droops down and may interfere with your vision. There are many causes of ptosis including age-related weakening on the muscle (the most common cause), congenital weakness, trauma, or neurological disease. Children may be born with ptosis or acquire it due to trauma or neurological reasons. Not to be confused with the removal of excess skin and fatty tissue as with Blepharoplasty, Ptosis is repaired by adjusting the position of one of the two muscles which elevate the eyelid. We would be happy to schedule your FREE consultation to see if your medical insurance will help cover the cost. Give us a call at 770-979-2020 x224 so we can get you started on the road to better vision and a more youthful appearance.

really cannot take any issue at all with his decision. I have a lot of respect for the judge and I think his decision is probably spot on as to what should have happened, even though I was asking for something else.”

In May 2016, Gunn was was arrested on charges of sexual assault and three counts of contributing to the delinquency of a minor after an alleged sexual relationship with a 17-year-old male student.

Gunn resigned from

South Gwinnett on April 19, 2016, and a sexual assault police report was filed the next day with Gwinnett County police.

Gwinnett police previously said the relationship began sometime in March 2016 and ended in less than two months. The report said that some of the sexual activity occurred at the school, at the teacher’s residence and at Lenora Park.

A detective in the case learned that sexual activity occurred in both Gwinnett

and a neighboring county.

The detective also found that the teacher hosted a party at her home in Grayson, and during the party, the teacher allowed the 17-year-old and two other female students to smoke marijuana under her direct supervision. According to the detective, the teacher smoked marijuana as well.

Wall described Gunn’s demeanor in court as being “so overwhelmed with anxiety that she was unable to stand. This goes to show

just how very remorseful she is over this entire episode. She regrets very much the pain she caused to the victim and his family as well as her own family and friends.”

Gunn, a music teacher, had worked at the school since 2002.

Wall added that he truly does not believe that Gunn poses a threat to anyone or their children, and he’s glad to see the case closed and hopefully find some healing.

After more than 10 years, the Gwinnett Village Community Improvement District is about to test William Shakespeare’s assertion that “a rose by any other name would smell as sweet.”

The decade-old CID is working on a rebranding effort that officials said, among other things, will lead to a new name for the district. Officials announced the impending change on Wednesday, explaining that Perkins+Will’s branded environments team is handling the rebranding.

“The CID has been in existence for 10 years and has done amazing things, our hope is to take this next important step in placemaking and really create a sense of place,” Gwinnett Village Executive Director Marsha

Traffic passes a Gwinnett Village Community Improvement District sign as it enters Interstate 85 south in this 2012 file photo. The 10-year-old CID is working on a rebranding effort that officials said will soon lead to it being known by a different name. (File Photo)

Anderson Bomar said.

“We want to shift the branding focus from the CID as an organization onto the community in which we work to showcase the amazing culture and economic value that this area represents.”

The new brand is expected to be unveiled sometime in the next few months, after branding elements are final-

ized by Perkins+Will and the CID’s leadership.

The district is looking to re-invent itself with a new name and brand that its officials hope will better reflect the community in the CID footprint. Gwinnett Village is located in an approximately 14-square-mile area near Norcross in southwest Gwinnett. It includes parts of the Jimmy Carter, Indian

Trail, Beaver Ruin and Interstate 85 corridors.

“We are excited to build a brand that is unique to this community, one that all of us can be proud to embrace,” Bomar said.

Perkins+Will and the CID have so far held pubic input meetings where residents as well as leaders from the local community and the region could weigh in on what the district’s brand should be.

“One of the things that was communicated by almost all of the participants was the need to express the energy in this community through the use of color,” CID Board Chairman and Global Mall owner Shiv Aggarwal said. “We want the new brand to get people excited about the experiences that are unique to this place.

“This community is one of a kind and we need to build a brand to match.”

Gwinnett County Police to hold hiring event FROM STAFF REPORTS The Gwinnett County Police Department is hiring.

On Aug. 5 and Aug. 6, the department will host a hiring event at the Gwinnett Police

Training Center to help fill 104 vacant police officer and 27 vacant communications officer positions. The event will run from 8 a.m. until 6 p.m. each day.

The department is motivated to hire.

“Hiring and retention are problems faced by many police departments throughout Georgia and the rest of the United States,” according to a Gwinnett PD press release.

Recently, the department began using unorthodox methods to fill some positions. Hiring officials streamlined weekend recruiting trips to make hiring outside the state easier.

“You do not have to commute to Georgia to participate in hiring because we will come to you,” Gwinnett PD

spokesman Cpl. Deon Washington said previously.

But the majority of the department’s applicants still come from Georgia, according to the release. August’s hiring event will help streamline the hiring process for those in-state applicants.

“Applicants for police officer and communications officer attending the event will complete a large portion of the hiring process on the same day and should plan on spending a few hours at the training center,” according to the release.

Those who attend the hiring event will likely see their mandatory background investigation go through quicker than applicants who don’t attend the event. A background check can typi-

cally take up to 90 days.

Applicants for police officer should wear business attire, but should bring athletic clothes with them. They’ll be required to participate in an orientation session, a physical fitness assessment and a panel interview.

Facilities to change clothes will be provided.

Communications applicants should wear business attire. They’ll be required to complete a data entry exam and a panel interview.

Communications officers who are hired will immediately begin training in the 911 call center. Hired police officers will be considered “recruits” until they can attend a police academy.

Until then, they’ll be given non-enforcement jobs within the department.

Two years after officers graduate from the academy, they are eligible for assignment to a special unit. The training is worth it, according to a GCPD press release.

“The salary and benefits package offered by GCPD is competitive with other large police agencies in Georgia,” according to the release.

The Gwinnett Police Training Center is located at 854 Winder Highway in Lawrenceville. Walk-ins are welcome but the department recommends applicants visit www.gwinnettpolicejobs. com to pre-register and begin the necessary paperwork.

GEORGIA FOOD CODE TRAINING The Gwinnett, Newton, & Rockdale County Environmental Health Departments will be offering opportunities for food service owners and managers to attend a food training seminar to better prepare a facility for a health inspection. The seminars are free and open to the public. A list of location/s, dates and times are as follows. If you have any questions, please contact our front office staff or Jason Reagan at 770-963-5132.

Monitor INR at home on Warfarin

DEAR DR. ROACH: I have taken warfarin for the past three years since having a pulmonary embolus in both lungs. A visiting nurse suggested I get a meter to check my INR level at home in order to avoid a trip to the lab. It is no more difficult than checking sugar.

I call in my result to the lab and my doctor’s office, and they get back to me with any changes in dosing. I am 83 and always glad for anything to make my life easier.

— S.B. ANSWER: Home monitoring of INR for people on warfarin is increasingly approved by insurance, and it can make life easier, especially for those a long distance from their doctor or for whom traveling is difficult. I thank you for writing.

DEAR DR. ROACH: I am 76 years old and have been on 10 mg prednisone daily for four years. I have Wegener’s granulomatosis.

I understand that prednisone is a “miracle” drug in many ways, but nevertheless I am growing more and more fearful of its long-term consequences. I am considering asking my doctor to ease me off this drug. Is it too much to hope that my body’s natural cortisone will kick in after four years on prednisone?

My lungs seem to have escaped harm so far, and my creatinine and glomerular filtration rate have been stable at 2.9 and 21, respectively. The past few months I have had a herniated disc, shingles and sciatica, and was just diagnosed with osteoporosis. I also can’t stand being so overweight.

— R.B. ANSWER: Prednisone, an anti-inflammatory steroid called a glucocorticoid, has had a dramatic, lifesaving effect on many diseases, but it comes at a cost. At least two of the concerns you mention, weight gain and osteoporosis, are common side effects of long-term prednisone use. The trend with many of the diseases for which prednisone has been used in the past several decades has been to find alternatives with less toxicity.

One concern about prednisone that doesn’t receive enough attention is that stopping it suddenly can lead to a crisis. In some people, the body is unable to make its own natural steroid, cortisone. The body absolutely depends on having some steroid (either its own or from medication), especially in times of stress.

A stressful situation, such as infection or surgery, can be fatal in people who cannot make steroids, so when contemplating getting off prednisone, it is important to ask the very question you are asking: Can my body make adequate cortisone?

Since you don’t fit into “high risk” or “low risk,” most authorities recommend a slow and cautious tapering off of prednisone (if your doctor feels it appropriate to stop it). If you were to need surgery, you could get tested for your ability to make cortisone (called a stimulation test), or could be treated with steroids at the time of surgery or other stress.

world Indonesia defies Beijing, renames part of South China Sea Indonesia has become the latest Southeast Asian nation to ruffle China’s feathers over the South China Sea. In an act of defiance against Beijing’s territorial ambitions in the region, Indonesia will refer to the northern areas of its exclusive economic zone in the South China Sea as the “North Natuna Sea.” At a press conference in Jakarta, Deputy Minister for Marine Sovereignty Arif Havas Oegroseno unveiled a new map with the renamed territory.

“We need to continue updating the naming of the sea and report to the United Nations about the borders,” Oegroseno told Indonesia’s state-run news agency Antara.

Part of the renamed area falls in China’s “nine-dash line” — waters extending hundreds of miles to the south and east of China’s island province Hainan.

Knife attacker killed at Tehran metro station A man was fatally shot by police Saturday after he attacked four bystanders with a knife at a metro station in Iran’s capital, Tehran, state media reported.

Police said four people were injured by the 40-year-old assailant, according to Iran’s Islamic Republic News Agency.

Security forces at the station asked the attacker to hand over his weapon but he refused, forcing them to open fire, injuring him in the leg, IRNA cited the police information center in Tehran as saying. He died from his injuries on the way to the hospital.

“The incident is a singular one and has no terrorist background,” IRNA quoted police as saying.

Deputy shooting leaves questions

By Kaylee Hartung, Holly yan, MicHaela n.Vincent anD Darran SiMon

CNN

On a gravel road in Louisiana’s Cajun country, a sheriff’s deputy stopped a man and his girlfriend riding an ATV as the couple headed out to go frogging — the popular pastime of hunting for frogs in ditches and ponds.

A struggle broke out between the men, and the deputy shot DeJuan Guillory dead.

Only two people know what happened that predawn morning of July 6: the deputy who fired the fatal shots and Guillory’s girlfriend — DeQuince Brown — who’s now charged with attempted first-degree murder of a police officer.

The accounts of what led to the 27-year-old’s death near Mamou, a farming community of rice fields, are wildly different.

The Evangeline Parish sheriff’s deputy, Holden LaFleur, told Louisiana State Police that Guillory punched him and that Guillory’s girlfriend climbed on his back and reached for his gun when he tried to arrest her boyfriend.

But an attorney for the Guillory family said the deputy started the physical confrontation. He also said LaFleur first shot Guillory in his back while Guillory was face down, then fired several

more times.

The case has shined a spotlight on LaFleur, a defendant in a civil lawsuit in the 2014 death of a man when the deputy worked for a different department.

It also casts a light on the Evangeline Parish Sheriff’s Office, which the Justice Department in 2016 found had unconstitutionally jailed people without probable cause.

And the case has garnered uncommon attention for Mamou, a sliver of a town of 3,200 where Cajun accents are thick, riding ATVs on trails is the norm and everyone knows each other.

The killing has sparked talk among some in Mamou about whether the shooting is race-related. LaFleur is white, and Guillory is black. Some locals describe

the community as racially harmonious, with many mixed-race families.

As for Guillory’s mother, a former Mamou officer, her son’s death has eroded the trust she had for her brethren in blue.

“The law I once believed in is deteriorating,” Monica Fontenot wrote on a GoFund Me page for expenses for the funeral, which is scheduled for Saturday.

Neither LaFleur nor his family have returned multiple calls from CNN. He has been placed on paid administrative leave, but he has not been charged in relation with Guillory’s death.

State police are investigating the case at the request of the Evangeline Parish Sheriff’s Office.

An official with the sheriff’s office told CNN on

nation Trump names Cobb as White House special counsel

The White House announced Saturday that President Donald Trump has appointed former federal prosecutor Ty Cobb as White House special counsel.

He is expected to oversee the legal and media response to the investigation into Russian meddling in last year’s election and alleged collusion by the Trump campaign, a White House official told CNN on Friday.

Cobb is a partner in the investigations practice of the law firm Hogan Lovells in Washington, D.C., and a fellow of the American College of Trial Lawyers, the White House statement said. He earned a law degree from Georgetown University Law Center and attended Harvard University as an undergraduate, according to the statement.

Trump’s family has faced heightened scrutiny in recent days after news broke that Donald Trump Jr., Trump’s eldest son, met with a Russian lawyer during the 2016 campaign.

He accepted the meeting on the premise that he would be offered damaging information about Hillary Clinton, according to emails Trump Jr. posted on Twitter earlier this week.

One of two teenagers taken into custody after five men were attacked with acid in London will face multiple charges, including one count of grievous bodily harm, Metropolitan police said Saturday.

Scotland Yard said the 16-year-old suspect also was charged with five counts of attempted grievous bodily harm with intent, four counts of attempted robbery, three counts of robbery, one count of possession of an item to discharge a noxious substance and one count of handling stolen goods.

The teenager is scheduled to appear in youth court Monday.

Police said a 15-year-old boy arrested Friday was released on bail until “a date in early August.”

Pennsylvania real estate.

Thomas Meo and Mark Sturgis were ready to buy some pot. The other man, Cosmo Dinardo, had a dark, grisly secret, police say.

Not far from the spot, the body of another man, killed earlier that day, was in a metal container, according to court documents. Not far away, another body was in a grave.

Dinardo would later tell police he had a Smith and Wesson .357 revolver.

“When they (Meo and Sturgis) turned their backs on me, I shot Tom in the back,” Dinardo allegedly told detectives questioning him, according to a criminal complaint.

On Friday, Dinardo, 20, and his cousin, Sean Kratz, also 20, were charged with homicide, conspiracy and abuse of a corpse as well as with robbery and a weapons charge.

A judge entered notguilty pleas on their behalf and they are being held without bail.

Dinardo is also accused in the fatal shootings of Jimi Patrick and Dean Finocchiaro.

The four young victims, who went missing last week, were lured to the remote property with promises of buying marijuana, but they were shot and killed, and buried in graves dug by a backhoe, accord-

ing to the Bucks County, Pa., district attorney.

The victims were discovered buried on the sprawling property owned

by Dinardo’s parents in Solebury Township, according to a statement from the district attorney’s office.

Investigators found the bodies of Finocchiaro, Meo and Sturgis in a 12 1/2-foot-deep grave Wednesday, according to the complaint. Patrick’s body was found in a separate grave late Thursday.

people Mirzakhani, only woman to take math’s highest award, dies at 40 Maryam Mirzakhani, a Stanford University professor who became the only woman to receive the highest honor in mathematics, died Saturday after a long battle with cancer, the school said.

She was 40.

The Iran native thrived in study of curved surfaces such as doughnut shapes and amoebas — to a degree that other bright minds in the field dared not explore, her colleagues have said.

In 2014, she became the first woman to receive the Fields Medal, the highest honor in mathematics and equivalent in reputation to a Nobel Prize.

The International Mathematical Union established the award in 1936 and has presented it to at least two people every four years since 1950. All 52 recipients before Mirazkhani were men.

“Maryam is gone far too soon, but her impact will live on for the thousands of women she inspired to pursue math and science,” Stanford University President Marc Tessier-Lavigne said.

Thursday: “We cannot make any statement at this time as this is an active and ongoing investigation. We would rather the facts come out of this case.”

CNN reached out to several police unions in the state but has not reached any that say they are representing LaFleur.

State police said LaFleur told them he asked Guillory and Brown, 21, for their IDs when he pulled them over at about 4 a.m. The deputy had just wrapped up a call of a reported ATV theft, police said in a press release.

Cops save people trapped in car from moving train

Some intense moments were captured on police body camera, as a train started to drag a trapped car — with two people inside.

The collision happened Friday morning in La Marque, Texas near Galveston, when a Dodge Durango SUV hit a stopped Union Pacific freight train, CNN affiliate KTRK reported.

The train engineer apparently did not realize the car was wedged underneath and dragged the vehicle at least 100 yards.

Police who arrived at the scene, went into action.

The train was stopped at the time.

The video shows police giving the trapped occupants directions — “Can you hit (the door) unlock.”

The officers then tried to calm their nerves. “We got medics coming” — then the train lurches forward and their tone changes.

White House op-ed: CBO methodology ‘fundamentally flawed’

By Daniella Diaz CNN

The White House is calling the Congressional Budget Office’s methodology for estimating the impact of Republican health care legislation “fundamentally flawed” ahead of an upcoming release of a new assessment of the Senate bill.

Marc Short, the White House’s

Must read director of legislative affairs, and National Economic Counsel aide Brian Blase wrote an op-ed published in The Washington Post calling the CBO’s assessment of the bill, which would repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act, unreliable.

“In the coming days, the

Congressional Budget Office will release an updated analysis of the Senate bill to repeal and replace Obamacare,” the op-ed reads. “The CBO will likely predict lower health insurance coverage rates if the bill becomes law. The American people and Congress should give this prediction little weight in assessing the bill’s merit.”

It continues: “The CBO’s

methodology, which favors mandates over choice and competition, is fundamentally flawed.

As a result, its past predictions regarding health-care legislation have not borne much resemblance to reality. Its prediction about the Senate bill is unlikely to fare much better.”

The CBO, a nonpartisan federal agency charged with providing budget and economic

information to Congress, could release the updated assessment as soon as Monday. It reported in June that an earlier version of the Senate health care bill would leave 22 million fewer Americans with health insurance by 2026 than would be covered under Obamacare.

The CBO also found the bill would reduce deficits by $321 billion over the next decade.

The data about Gwinnett’s Latino voter population comes just over six months after the U.S. Census Bureau ordered the county to begin offering Spanish-language election information to voters whose first language is not English.

“Now that the county has to provide Spanishlanguage information for all voting, including voting in this election cycle (for city elections), candidates also have to reach out to this important side of the electorate in language,” Gonzalez said.

Whether that leads to more Latinos holding elected office in Gwinnett remains to be seen.

Although there are no Latinos serving on Gwinnett’s Board of Commissioners or school board, Gonzalez said members of that community do hold public office elsewhere in the county. That includes Lopez, Marin and Casas, as well as Snellville City Councilman Roger Marmol and Loganville City Councilman Rey Martinez.

With her election, Lopez became the first Latina ever elected to serve in the Georgia General Assembly last year, joining Marin and Casas to form what is essentially the legislature’s Latino Caucus.

“Part of our mission is to encourage people to serve our community and the one way that one serves our community is through elected office, and we will continue to recruit candidates for office,” Gonzalez said. “Part of the challenge is that the structures in place keep minority candidates out.”

Recent price hikes for several pharmaceuticals — and prices for some new drugs — have astonished even health care experts. And many people, as Stevens notes, can’t handle the increased prices, even if they have some level of drug coverage.

Fairly or not, the “poster person” for the skyrocketing costs is flamboyant New York businessman and financier Martin Shkreli. In 2015, his company, Turing Pharmaceuticals, bought the rights to Daraprim, a longtime HIV drug. He became one of the most reviled men in America for raising the medication’s price from $13.50 to $750 a pill and then appearing to dismiss concerns about the effect the increase would have on the public.

Daraprim is used as a co-treatment (perhaps lifesaving) for patients with HIV infections, some cancers and malaria. Some reports suggest it costs about a dollar per pill to manufacture.

The price of Daraprim was eventually lowered following a public uproar, but not to the cost that was in effect before Shkreli purchased the company.

Shkreli is currently on trial for allegedly deceiving investors, and he’s still making headlines with controversial comments, but the case is not related to the drug price issue.

In fact, the problem goes far beyond one man. Newsweek in 2015 reported that “buying rights to drugs — older, even generic drugs — and raising their price sharply has been something of a business model for American pharmaceutical companies of late.”

The increase in the price of EpiPens is one example.

The U.S. cost of EpiPens (the two-pack) went from a little more than $100 in 2009 to more than $600 by 2016, causing an outcry from concerned parents and teachers.

The EpiPen, made by Mylan, is a lifesaving device containing a pre-set dose of epinephrine, the drug used by people at risk of experiencing anaphylactic shock caused by an allergy attack.

Untreated, this type of shock can be fatal because blood pressure can drop suddenly and airways can narrow, making it difficult to breathe.

Mylan CEO Heather Bresch stated in a December 2016 press release that her company had launched the first generic version of EpiPen at half the former price.

But Bresch continued, “The final retail cost to the patient for EpiPen Auto-Injector and the authorized generic will be dependent upon their insurance and any mark-ups within the supply chain.”

Karen Harris of Cumming, the mother of three children with severe food allergies, told GHN last year that “it’s imperative that this medication is within an arm’s reach away of any individual who has any type of allergy or known history of anaphylaxis.”

“For those individuals who have … allergies — whether it’s to latex, insects, food or antibiotics — this medication is lifesaving medication. It’s first-line treatment,” she said.

dropped coverage of the branded $600 EpiPens, and drugstore chain CVS started selling a generic epinephrine injector from Lineage Therapeutics, Inc. for $110 (also a two-pack), according to a Reuters Health article in March.

AARP Bulletin recently reported that: — The cost of Bavencio, a new cancer drug, is about $156,000 a year per patient.

— A new muscular dystrophy drug entered the market last year with a price of $300,000 annually.

— And the FDA last year approved Tecentriq, a new bladder cancer treatment that costs $12,500 a month.

The AARP publication also noted that there was a 208 percent rise in prices for the most popular brand-name drugs from 2008 to 2016.

U.S. law prohibits the government from negotiating Medicare prescription drug prices. But some people want that changed.

Proponents of such negotiating say it would give the government leverage to lower drug costs. But drug industry officials say such a change would reduce companies’ investment in pharmaceutical research and development.

It’s a familiar concern: Balancing the need to make drugs affordable against the need to make drug manufacturing a profitable business, ensuring the development of new products.

A Maryland nonprofit organization, Patients for Affordable Drugs, blames pharmaceutical companies for the never-ending high costs, though experts say there’s plenty of blame to go around.

David Mitchell, cofounder and president of the organization, says, “Cost increases are particularly burdensome for Medicare recipients.”

Mitchell himself bears the expense of weekly chemotherapy sessions that amount to over $2,000 per week.

“Once the price is set for Medicare, it ripples down the whole health care system,” he said.

Pharmacy benefit managers who run prescription drug insurance programs make more profit by working off the higher initial price, Mitchell said.

“Hospitals and doctors get percentage mark-ups,” he says. “But the rest of us — patients, consumers and taxpayers — get stuck paying the bill.”

Out-of-pocket costs for some specialty drugs under Medicare can run from $4,000 to more than $11,000 per year, while the median income for Medicare beneficiaries is less than $26,200 a year, according Mitchell’s nonprofit organization.

Mitchell says the pharmaceutical industry has spent $2 billion on lobbying in Washington since 2003.

Lowering prescription drug costs has been a goal of congressional leaders on both sides of the aisle.

Sens. Susan Collins,

R-Maine, and Claire McCaskill, D-Mo., aim to streamline the approval process for generic drugs by requiring, for example, that the FDA set a deadline of eight months to approve new generic drugs where there is little competition, the New York Times recently reported.

And in the House, Reps. Gus Bilirakis, RFla., and Kurt Schrader, D-Ore., have proposed requiring the FDA to work more closely with companies that want to make generic alternatives to drugs for which there is little competition, the Times reported.

The brand-name drug industry points out that patients who struggle with the high cost of prescription medications can look for help in getting medications through the Partnership for Prescription Assistance.

If a patient qualifies, many pharmaceutical companies offer help with specific medications. But qualifying factors can vary from company to company. The PPA is an information resource and does not directly offer the assistance programs.

Patients must apply to a program directly for assistance.

PhRMA, the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America, representing the country’s leading biopharmaceutical researchers and biotechnology companies, acknowledges the financial burden on some consumers.

“No patient should have to worry about how they will access and afford their medications,” said Cailin Carroll, PhRMA’s Director of Public Affairs, in a telephone conversation with GHN. And Stephen J. Ubl, president and CEO of PhRMA, noted in a recent blog that in today’s “rapidly changing, personalized medicine, the private market is best positioned to evolve our health care system in a productive direction.”

Ann, 70, of Fayetteville has such overwhelming drug costs that her husband began working at a warehouse — unloading and handling boxes at age 71 — to help pay the bills.

Ann, who asked that only her first name be used for privacy reasons, was diagnosed in late 2016 with ovarian cancer that had spread to her abdominal area and to the outer lining of her lungs.

After calculating her out-of-pocket costs (after Medicare and without Part D to help), Ann’s five chemo treatments are already close to $6,000.

Two hospital stays in December 2016 were also very expensive, Ann said.

“When those Medicare adjustments were done,” she said, “it was still a lot of money that we didn’t have.”

The couple have had to turn to credit cards to help pay medical bills, but that only puts off the problem.

“Well, I was definitely blindsided” by the illness and the costs, Ann said.

While dealing with her illness, she also has to worry about the burden it is placing on her husband.

“He can’t do this forever … (soon) we may be looking into financial counseling or the possibility of filing for bankruptcy, if he can’t work any longer,” she said.

Gwinnett County’s leaders like to brag that the county’s various government departments are the best in the world, but even those department heads can still learn a thing or two by traveling out into the world on occasion.

Police Chief Butch Ayers Butch Ayers recently got the opportunity to do just that when he traveled to Israel for counter terrorism and public safety training.

Gwinnett’s top cop was among 20 Georgia, North Carolina and Tennessee law enforcement officials who traveled to the Middle Eastern nation last month.

They went there as part of a Georgia International Law Enforcement Exchange program delega-

tion.

“Our GILEE delegates have returned with new ways of developing, collaborating on and using police and intelligence strategies to minimize the production of crime,” the exchange program’s founding director, Robbie Friedmann, said.

This year marked the

25th year that the peerto-peer exchange training program has worked with law enforcement officials in Israel. Ayers and other participants learned how the Israelis strategize to address counter terrorism, emergency management, homeland security and public safety challenges.

Snellville police are looking for a Madison man who they said stole about $5,000 worth of golf equipment from Summit Chase Country Club. After posting video of the incident on Facebook, Snellville police learned the man they are looking for is named Allan Sharp.

Surveillance video shows the man removing the equipment, and police said he appears to have a tattoo on his right calf. The timestamp on the camera listed 3:08 p.m. on Sunday as the time of the reported theft.

to Sharp: “If you see this post or hear about this post it is time to turn yourself in. There is no reason for us to continue to bother your family. Return the property. A return is better than restitution.”

On the department’s Facebook page, Snellville police posted this message

Recently I noticed a fair number of paper wasps flying in and out from under the sun deck on the back of my home. I figured that where there is smoke, there is fire.

Upon checking the area under the deck, I found a nest of them and took control measures to eliminate the insects. Summer is a time for many outdoor activities such as camping, fishing, hiking and gardening. One problem many people encounter is insects that inflict a painful sting.

Yellow jackets, hornets, paper wasps, bees and others are usually the culprits. Most people suffer brief, intense pain but otherwise will be fine. These insects do not carry disease organisms like mosquitoes. However, a small percentage can have an allergic reaction that can potentially be fatal. These insects sometimes build their nests near areas where people will be active, thus leading to unpleasant encounters.

But they are beneficial by pollinating plants and by being predators of damaging plant insects.

Yellow jackets are among the most aggressive. They construct their nests underground beginning in the spring. As the colony grows, their presence becomes more numerous by late summer and fall. Yellow jackets are attracted to sweet drinks such as sodas. Garbage cans that are not covered and have soda bottles and other sweet materials can be swarming with the insects. People can disturb their nests unknowingly since they are often found in hard-to-see places.

Two species of hornets are found in our area, the bald face hornet and the European hornet. The bald face hornet has white or light yellowish markings on the face, thorax and part of the abdomen. Their nests are constructed in trees and have the appearance of a “bloated football.” The European hornet is over an inch in length with dark brown head and thorax with yellow markings on its abdomen. The shape of their nests is similar to the bald face hornet. If the nests are by walkways, pools, porches and another area with human activity, they

Gardening in Gwinnett

Tim Daly can pose a threat. Otherwise, if they are in out of the way places such as high up in a tree, the nests should be left alone.

Another irritating stinging pest is the paper wasp. The insects are light brown with various markings. Their paper-like nests, which are smaller than those of hornets, are suspended from a short stalk and are built on the eaves of attics, window frames, wooden decks and shrubbery. Like the yellow jackets, their nests are not always visible and the wasps will sting if disturbed. When pruning shrubs, use a leaf rake and tap them gently. If you see wasps flying out of the shrubs, then there may be a nest inside.

What can be done to control these pests? As mentioned before, if the nests are located in places that are not a threat to people, the best course of action is to leave them alone. But if they must be controlled, wait until later in the day or early in the morning when they are less active. Use a can of flying insect aerosol spray, stand back several feet and aim it at the nests. For yellow jackets and hornets, hit the main entrance hole. For the paper wasps, cover the nest with the spray. One treatment is usually sufficient for control.

Like the wasps under my sun deck, stinging insects can be troublesome. The best course of action is to be aware of their presence and if they are in a location where their presence poses a threat to people, then utilize control measures.

STILL HANGIN’ TOUGH

New Kids on the Block and fellow ’90s stars treat old, new fans at Infinite Energy Arena

By Cailin O’Brien

cailin.obrien @gwinnettdailypost.com

Once a New Kids On The Block fan, always a New Kids On The Block fan.

“We’ve been to one concert every year that they’ve performed since I was 10 years old,” Winder resident Sonia Brock said. “I would have been in fourth grade.”

Leabee Skinner has been Brock’s partner in crime through those 20 years of concerts.

“Last year we had the best seats,” Skinner said. “We got a little hand touch.”

On Friday night, Brock, Skinner and thousands of other die-hard NKOTB fans filed into Duluth’s Infinite Energy Arena to watch the boy band tear up the stage once again.

“At long last, we have arrived in the South — in the great state of Georgia,” NKOTB member Donnie Wahlberg said on stage Friday night.

Actually, fans time travelled with a whole host of iconic late 1980s and early 1990s music as they experienced the Full Package Tour on Friday night.

“I’m actually really excited to see Boyz II Men, too,” Brock said.

She wasn’t the only one.

Fans cheered and danced immediately as the classic boy band took the stage first.

Those cheers only got louder — and shriller — as Boyz II Men members passed roses out to women in the front row while they sang “I’ll Make Love to You.” Fans also responded

Below, Paula Abdul, left, and Boyz II their chart-topping 1989 album “Hangin’ Tough” by Men perform as opening acts in the concert. (Photos: Karl L. Moore) performing the title track.

But NKOTB isn’t just for its original fans. The guys have been putting out new music since they reunited in 2008. Smith and Fagan said they believe there’s a whole new generation just waiting to fall in love with NKOTB. The pair brought their daughters, Alyssa Fagan, 11, and RaeAnne Smith, 10, to Duluth to experience their with screams and dancing Fagan traveled all the ence they never forgot. mothers’ childhood crushes as Paula Abdul took the way from Alabama to attend “I actually still have an for the first time. stage and brought back her Friday’s concert in Duluth.

Like Skinner and Brock, Jonathan Knight played to hardly came across as “old “I’ve been a fan since I the pair had experienced their long-time fans Friguys.” They danced, jumped was 8 or 10,” Shirina Fagan their first NKOTB show day. The men, now well up and down and climbed said. “My entire room was when they were around 10 into their 40s, showed into the audience as they covered in NKOTB posters years old.

And the guys still have a certain affect on fans of the feminine persuasion.

High-pitched screams filled the stage as each of the members lifted up their shirts during the show. They played to that, too. A “quick change cam” broadcasted NKOTB tearing off their shirts and goofing around on the arena’s big screen during an intermission.

Fan Jennifer Hembree loves NKOTB’s showmanship, their connection with fans and their dreaminess.

But that’s not the only reason why she traveled all the way from Tennessee, 8-months pregnant, to watch the pop stars perform.

“I just think they’re great guys,” she said. “I love everything about them.”

Hembree’s baby is due in August. She knows he’s going to be a boy, and she knows one trait she’s going to pass on to him.

“He’s going to be a New Kids on the Block fan for sure,” she said.

“We want kids to really be engaged in hands-on activities,” Olson said, and added that technology is mostly scarce around the center save for some occasional iPad use.

“It’s keeping them engaged, socializing with one another. That’s really important. Our whole center is teaching children to get along with one another.

Not to say technology isn’t important, but they get so much of that everywhere else now.”

Child-adult ratio is about 10:1 or less, Olson said, including 5:1 for field trips.

Last week, for example, there were eight adults with about 35 kids. She said the staff pays attention to each child as the developmental range between pre-K and second grade can be wide.

That’s one reason why the center dropped the camp down from having thirdgraders, something it did its first year.

With several activities geared around literacy, Olson said reading is important for kids of all ages, especially before the critical development jump from second grade to third grade.

Olson said the literacy labs are designed to keep kids’ attention in reading.

“With young children, especially kids that are just finishing pre-K, it’s about keeping them interested in that,” she said. “The biggest thing is continuing to make it fun. You don’t want reading to be a chore or boring. We want it to be an exciting thing for kids.

Here, we especially want to make sure we’re doing that.”

Bungled collusion is still collusion WASHINGTON — The Russia scandal has entered a new phase and there’s no going back.

For six months, the White House claimed that this scandal was nothing more than innuendo about Trump campaign collusion with Russia in meddling in the 2016 election. Innuendo for which no concrete evidence had been produced.

Yes, there were several meetings with Russian officials, some only belatedly disclosed. But that is Charles circumstantial eviKrauthammer dence at best. Meetings tell you nothing unless you know what happened in them. We didn’t. Some of these were casual encounters in large groups like the famous July 2016 KislyakSessions exchange of pleasantries at the Republican National Convention. Big deal.

I was puzzled. Lots of cover-up, but where was the crime? Not even a third-rate burglary.

For six months, smoke without fire. Yes, President Trump himself was acting very defensively, as if he were hiding something. But no one ever produced the something.

My view was: Collusion? I just don’t see it.

But I’m open to empirical evidence. Show me.

The evidence is now shown. This is not hearsay, not fake news, not unsourced leaks. This is an email chain released by Donald Trump Jr. himself. A British go-between writes that there’s a Russian government effort to help Trump Sr. win the election, and as part of that effort he proposes a meeting with a “Russian government attorney” possessing damaging information on Hillary Clinton. Moreover, the Kremlin is willing to share troves of incriminating documents from the Crown Prosecutor. (Error: Britain has a Crown Prosecutor. Russia has a State Prosecutor.)

Donald Jr. emails back. “I love it.” Fatal words.

Once you’ve said “I’m in,” it makes no difference that the meeting was a bust, that the intermediary brought no such goods. What matters is what Donald Jr. thought going into the meeting, as well as Jared Kushner and then-campaign manager Paul Manafort, who were copied on the correspondence, invited to the meeting and attended.

“It was literally just a wasted 20 minutes, which was a shame,” Donald Jr. told Sean Hannity. A shame? On the contrary, a stroke of luck. Had the lawyer real stuff to deliver, Donald Jr. and the others would be in far deeper legal trouble. It turned out to be incompetent collusion, amateur collusion, comically failed collusion. That does not erase the fact that three top Trump campaign officials were ready to play.

It may turn out that they did later collaborate more fruitfully. We don’t know. But even if nothing else is found, the evidence is damning.

It’s rather pathetic to hear Trump apologists protesting that it’s no big deal because we Americans are always intervening in other people’s elections, and they in ours. You don’t have to go back to the ’40s and ’50s when the CIA intervened in France and Italy to keep the communists from coming to power. What about the Obama administration’s blatant interference to try to defeat Benjamin Netanyahu in the latest Israeli election? One might even add the work of groups supported by the U.S. during Russian parliamentary elections — the very origin of Vladimir Putin’s deep animus toward Hillary Clinton, then secretary of state, whom he accuses of having orchestrated the opposition.

This defense is pathetic for two reasons.

First, have the Trumpites not been telling us for six months that no collusion ever happened?

And now they say: Sure it happened. So what?

Everyone does it.

What’s left of your credibility when you make such a casual about-face?

Second, no, not everyone does it. It’s one thing to be open to opposition research dug up in Indiana. But not dirt from Russia, a hostile foreign power that has repeatedly invaded its neighbors (Georgia, Crimea, Eastern Ukraine), that buzzes our planes and ships in international waters, that opposes our every move and objective around the globe. Just last week the Kremlin killed additional U.N. sanctions we were looking to impose on North Korea for its ICBM test.

There is no statute against helping a foreign hostile power meddle in an American election.

What Donald Jr. — and Kushner and Manafort — did may not be criminal. But it is not merely stupid. It is also deeply wrong, a fundamental violation of any code of civic honor.

I leave it to the lawyers to adjudicate the legalities of unconsummated collusion. But you don’t need a lawyer to see that the Trump defense — collusion as a desperate Democratic fiction designed to explain away a lost election — is now officially dead.

Charles Krauthammer’s email address is letters@charleskrauthammer.com.

Recruit blows off opportunity to blow up KNOCK! KNOCK! “Sir, you wanted to see me?”

“Hello, Kharbhom! Glad you could spare a few minutes. Come into the cave.

Don’t mind the goats.”

“Thank you, sir. I was told it was important. I came over as quickly as I could.”

“Kharbhom, I will get right to the point. I have been watching you closely and I can tell you I like what I see.

You have all the characteristics to be a leader in our business, son.”

“Gosh, that is really good to hear, sir. I try awfully hard to give 100 percent at everything I do.”

“That is why I have summoned you here today. I wanted to tell you that I am prepared to make you a part of the Impenitent Secret Inner Sanctum and the perks that go with it. Your own private camel. A case of olive oil, a couple of goats and an iPad. How does all of that sound? Good, huh?”

“Me, a part of the Impenitent Secret Inner Sanctum?

That seems almost too good to be true! Oh, thank you, sir! I cannot tell you what this means. Wow! When is it effective?

“Well, that is what I wanted to talk to you about, Kharbhom. There is one tiny detail we need to discuss

Dick Yarbrough before you assume your new job. Consider it an initiation of sorts. Nothing serious, you understand, just a formality but I wanted to be sure I had your buy-in before we announced your appointment on the internet.”

“Right, sir. That should be no problem at all. Just tell me what I need to do and I will get right on it.”

“That’s the spirit, Kharbohm! I knew I could count on you. Actually, we just need you to strap on a bunch of bombs and go blow yourself up in a crowd of people.

We aren’t picky about what kind of crowd but it would be preferable if it contained a lot of innocent people.”

“Say what?”

“Blow yourself up, son.

Go boom!”

“Say what?”

“It seems what we have here is a failure to communicate. In order to show us that you have the right stuff to

become a part of the Impenitent Secret Inner Sanctum, you must prove to us that you are committed to the cause.

Walk the walk and not just talk the talk and all that kind of thing.”

“Creepers, sir. If I blow myself up, there won’t be anything left. How can I be a part of ISIS if I am spread all over the countryside?”

“I didn’t say you had to be here in person to be a part of ISIS. You will be a martyr.

It doesn’t get any better than that. Every time we detonate a ’74 Chevy Malibu, we will think of you.”

“Sir, pardon me for saying so but that is a bunch of camel poo. I don’t want to be a martyr. And if blowing yourself up is so cool, how come you haven’t strapped on the bombs and gone ‘boom?’”

“Kharbhom, that hurts.

Believe me, I would be first in line to wreak havoc on the infidels, but somebody has to mind the store. Goats don’t just feed themselves, you know. And who else is going to locate a ’74 Chevy Malibu in this godforsaken part of the world? So how about it, son? There is a ticket to Paradise awaiting, not to mention a bunch of virgins. I’m not sure how many. I think it’s 72. I know it’s more than we

have around here.”

“You know what I think, sir? I think you are running out of nut jobs willing to blow themselves up. I have been reading Darwin’s Theory of Evolution, which says individuals that are poorly adapted to their environment are less likely to survive and reproduce. You guys are so poorly adapted to this environment, you couldn’t reproduce a turnip. You are headed the way of the Dodo bird and the Techirghiol Stickleback. And my name isn’t Kharbohm. It’s Fred and I am really a Methodist.”

“Wow, Fred, you sure fooled the dickens out of me.

Say, if I were to became a Methodist, would I have to blow myself up?”

“No, sir. To be a Methodist, you only need to know the words to ‘Amazing Grace’ and be willing to serve at Wednesday night suppers. God loves Methodists. He might even learn to love you, too. By the way, your Malibu just exploded.

Have a nice day, sir.”

Missing the garden’s bounty, not the work I miss having a garden.

Now I’m like all those folks who the Little Red Hen used to have to put up with.

I don’t miss breaking up the ground. I used to enjoy watching my daddy do it with a mule, but I never had a trace across my shoulder and barely know a gee from a haw. The only plowing I’ve ever done is with a Roto-tiller, and I always had to spit on mine and cuss it a little bit to get it to go.

I don’t miss fooling with one of those.

I don’t particularly miss laying off the rows and planting, either. Nor do I miss making sure my garden got enough water, and the Good Lord knows I’m not at home enough nowadays to worry about such. I sure don’t miss hoeing and weeding. That’s too much like work, and it tends to rub blisters on my delicate hands.

I do miss watching things grow. I have always considered farmers, or those who just grew things for sport, to be the eternal optimists. They are out plowing the ground before the last frost and planting on Good Friday in hopes that the sun and rain and bugs and deer will cooperate so

Darrell Huckaby that come laying by time they will have a bountiful harvest to show for all that hard work.

And it is hard work. Speaking of which, I don’t miss gathering, either — other than maybe the very first fruits, which were always exciting.

Let’s face it. Picking butter beans is no fun. You have to spend too much time debating which ones were filled out enough and which ones weren’t and eventually I would always just start grabbing all of them, which made the picking go easier but there was the devil to pay when it was time to shell them.

Same with green beans and purple hull peas. Okra makes you itch like you’ve been wrestling with a plethora of redbugs if you don’t wear long sleeves and gloves, and you had to spend way too much time making sure corn

was properly filled out and that the silks were brown before you pulled it. Picking squash and cucumbers always made my back hurt, and just go a day or two without gathering either of those vegetables — or is a cucumber a fruit? — and they’d grow so big and hard that you’d waste half the crop.

No. I don’t miss picking and gathering.

Shelling wasn’t such a joy, either. Shelling butter beans made my thumbs sore as risens and shelling peas made them purple and slimy.

Putting up vegetables wasn’t all that great, either. When my mama put up corn she did it right and would double cut it and then milk the cob with her worn out knife. The whole kitchen was a mess by the time she was through, and I never had enough patience to remove all the silks like I was supposed to.

Cutting up okra made my wrists sore, and when mama stewed tomatoes the house got so hot you didn’t want to stay in it. Washing the Mason jars wasn’t all that fun, either, back in the days when the only dishwasher my mama had was me.

Come to think of it, I don’t

miss having a garden at all.

I’ll tell you what I do miss, however. I miss the wonderful summer suppers that come with having a garden. Boy, howdy! We used to have it all. Green beans that were actually cooked — not those ridiculous crunchy things they serve you at supposedly upscale restaurants these days. Creamed corn off the cob. You can gnaw on boiled corn all you want, but nothing beats corn double-cut off the cob and fried in butter and its own juices. Peas, cucumbers soaked in vinegar, sliced fresh tomatoes with a slice or two of Vidalia onion, squash cooked with some of those same onions.

I told y’all I was like the folks the Little Red Hen had to put up with.

And besides all the good summer suppers, Mama would fill the freezer and the pantry and we’d have them all winter, too. I may not miss my garden but I appreciate folks who still have one — and share the fruits of their labor with me.

Selah.

Roby brings in slew of NFLers for camp

By Collin Huguley Staff Correspondent

On Saturday morning at Buford High School, Gwinnett’s youth football players received the opportunity of a lifetime.

Peachtree Ridge graduate and Denver Broncos cornerback Bradley Roby held his first annual NFL skills camp and brought along a large number of his peers to help out as coaches in an effort to show nearly 200 middle and high school football players of Gwinnett that reaching the highest level is possible.

“When I was young, I would want NFL guys at my camp,” Roby said. “And to have an opportunity, for free, to go meet some NFL guys and go out and have a good time, I think it was great for the community and for the individuals that came.”

In addition to Roby, the coaching staff included former Gwinnett standouts Cincinnati Bengals linebacker Kevin Minter (Peachtree Ridge), Houston Texans cornerback Robert Nelson (North Gwinnett) and Broncos offensive lineman Max Garcia (Norcross).

Roby also brought in a few former college teammates from Ohio State and Denver with New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas, New York Giants cornerback Eli

LAWRENCEVILLE — A lot has changed in Robert Nkemdiche’s life since he left Grayson High School as the nations’ No. 1 ranked high school player.

His path to the NFL featured a 2015 arrest while playing for Ole Miss, and a disappointing 2016 NFL combine, but that didn’t stop the Arizona Cardinals from drafting him with the 29th overall pick in the first round last year.

The 22-year-old had a rough first season with the Cardinals after playing in just five games. A serious ankle injury kept him sidelined for most of the season, but he’s healthy and ready to show everyone that he’s ready to break out in his sophomore campaign.

Allen Iverson spent Thursday afternoon at South Gwinnett for a special visit with the high school’s most famous basketball alum, Lou Williams.

Iverson, inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame last year, called Williams his little brother, a relationship that started in the 2005-06 season, when Williams was a 19-yearold rookie straight out of high school. By then, Iverson was 30 and already an NBA legend, averaging 33 points that season.

Williams learned from Iverson during his first two NBA seasons when both were with the Philadelphia 76ers and they still stay in touch, which is why the legend made a special visit for the final day of Williams’ annual youth basketball camp at South.

“I really had A.I. in Gwinnett today kickin’ it,” Williams said.

“Idolized him as a teen and brought him to the very place I mimicked him.”

While Iverson has retired from the NBA, Williams has grown into one of the league’s veteran players. He just finished his 12th NBA season, only two fewer than Iverson played in his long career. Just 30 and healthy, he still figures to have a handful

of NBA seasons ahead.

Though he doesn’t have any 30-point per game seasons like A.I., Williams has become a reliable scorer in the NBA, averaging double figures the last 10 seasons.

The 6-foot-1 guard has been around long enough to understand the business of basketball well, though he maintained relative stability in his career until a hectic few months that saw him go from the Los Angeles Lakers to the Houston Rockets

Chubb prioritizes rivalries in final year

By Brandon Sudge Staff Correspondent

HOOVER, Ala. — Throughout the past three years, Georgia has been on polarizing ends of two of its biggest rivalries against Auburn and Florida.

Nick Chubb has been a central focus for nearly each of them as the Bulldogs’ lead running back.

On a positive note for the senior, his team has claimed three-consecutive victories against the Tigers.

Chubb was sidelined with a PCL injury in 2015, but most recently collected 101 rushing yards in a 13-7 victory at Sanford Stadium.

With one chance left, it’s a date that the star-caliber running back has prioritized. Chubb joined running back Sony Michel and linebackers Davin Bellamy and Lorenzo Carter in returning for a senior campaign.

“It would be great to kind of retire from Georgia beating Auburn four years in a row,” Chubb said.

“It’s great to win every game.”

This season, Auburn welcomes Georgia to Jordan-Hare Stadium with Jarrett Stidham behind center.

Stidham transferred from Baylor after collecting 1,265 passing yards and 12 touchdowns in 2015.

After the Tigers have had back-to-back seasons of uncertainty at the position, the sense of a solidified starter gives them a chance to improve upon a fourloss season a year ago and add a win to the series against the Bulldogs.

Georgia leads the series with a 57-55-8 record over Auburn, and a number of the contests have come down to the waning moments. Most memorably, the Tigers last win was in 2013 with “The Prayer at Jordan-Hare.”

In that occurrence, Auburn completed a 73-yard pass at the final buzzer to win. This next installment could be slated to be another thriller.

“It’s a great rivalry. It’s something you don’t really understand until you’re playing in it,” Chubb said. “Over the past couple of years, I understand what it’s about and what it means. It’s a fun game.”

On the other hand, Georgia has not had as much luck with Florida and has lost the neutral-site game on three-consecutive occasions.

The Gators and Bulldogs have jostled back-and-forth for the SEC East crown, and the lateOctober matchup has decided the division in each of the last two seasons.

Georgia leads the overall series by a 49-43-2 tally, but a primary goal by Chubb and the three other returners is to end the losing skid and give their team a more tangible chance to make its first SEC Championship appearance since 2012.

“That would mean a lot, too,” Chubb said on ending the losing streak to Florida. “We’ve beaten Auburn three in a row, but we’ve been beaten three in a row (by Florida), too. It would be great to get a win over everybody I’ve played against here at Georgia.”

during the 2016-17 season, followed by a June 28 trade to the Los Angeles Clippers.

Houston acquired Chris Paul in the blockbuster trade, sending Williams, Patrick Beverly, Sam Dekker, Montrezl Harrell, Darrun Hilliard, DeAndre Liggins, Kyle Wiltjer, a first-round pick and cash to the Clippers.

“It’s been a weird year,” Williams said during his youth camp this week. “I knew I was See WILLIAMS, Page 6B

For the most part, I’ve had pretty good stability. This year has been the craziest with all these trades.”

Falcons’ Super Bowl meltdown vs.

Pats latest display of dumb respect

By Ira Miller

The Sports Xchange

Before we turn the page to move onto a new season, it is worth a moment to consider what some of the critics have been saying in an attempt to devalue a significant part of the New England Patriots dynasty.

And to refute those critics.

Specifically, there are those who believe the Patriots’ last two championships, in the 2014 and 2016 seasons, were gifts that were not earned and resulted simply from screwups by their Super Bowl opponents, Seattle and Atlanta.

Well, guess what?

That may be so, but it also is quite normal, exactly what happens frequently with great teams.

The Patriots are not the first and they won’t be the last to succeed not only on their own merits, but because just the sight of their greatness on the opposite side of the field will cause an opponent to melt down.

The pressure sometimes makes opposing coaches do things that are dumb, dumb, dumb. But they don’t go stupid in a void.

They go stupid because of the opponent.

Interestingly, both Patriots recent Super Bowl victories involved an opponent not content to play conservatively (or smart) near the end of a game it seemingly was ready to win. Seattle chose to have Russell Wilson throw the ball rather than let Marshawn Lynch score on a run from the one-yard line.

Atlanta’s strategy was even dumber since all the Falcons needed to do was fall down three times and kick a field goal to clinch the game. Instead, the Falcons lost yardage trying to pass

and had to punt.

Perhaps a cynic would point out that Atlanta’s only previous Super Bowl appearance came about simply because a previously perfect Minnesota kicker, Gary Anderson, missed a clinching field goal in the NFC championship game.

But it is not likely that was on the mind of either Dan Quinn, the Falcons coach, or Kyle Shanahan, their offensive coordinator.

What is more likely, quite simply, is that great teams scare their opponents into mistakes, whether they are physical or mental or, frequently, both.

Of course, teams don’t like to admit they were intimidated by an opponent. But the late Hall of Famer Jim Finks, who was general manager of several NFL teams, once admitted that was exactly what happens.

Finks made the comment when he was GM of the New Orleans Saints. It followed a 1990 victory by the Saints over the 49ers — at the time two-time defending Super Bowl champs — at Candlestick Park.

In the season opener that year, the 49ers won at New Orleans, 13-12,

in part because with 1:41 remaining, with the Saints ahead by two points and the 49ers out of time outs, New Orleans allowed a backup quarterback, John Fourcade, to throw deep on third down rather than run the ball, waste time and punt.

The pass, of course, fell incomplete, and the extra 40-45 seconds the 49ers gained from that blunder were just enough. Starting from their own 19-yard line, Joe Montana drove San Francisco to kick a gamewinning field goal with nine seconds remaining.

Jim Mora, the Saints coach at the time, said what so many have said before and after, that he called for the deep pass because he feared giving Montana the ball no matter how little time would be remaining.

Later that year, the teams met again in San Francisco, and this time Montana was held out of the game nursing a minor injury and was not in uniform. With Steve Young at quarterback, the Saints won the game, 1310, and afterward, Finks proclaimed that if the 49ers had simply put Montana in uniform on the sidelines, they would have won,

instead.

He had that much effect on an opponent, Finks said.

Of course, there was also the 1987 game when the Cincinnati Bengals chose not to punt with six seconds remaining in the fourth quarter and instead attempted to run a sweep on fourth down, which failed. The two seconds that remained was all Montana needed for one play, a touchdown pass to Jerry Rice that won the game.

There’s a famous picture of the late Bill Walsh, the 49ers’ legendary coach, literally skipping off the field after that gift.

And then there was the time in 1990 when Green Bay used a short, pooch kickoff rather than kick the 49ers deep after scoring 38 seconds before halftime, and that was all the break San Francisco, down 10-0, needed to score in the little time remaining, and turn the game in its favor.

The Packers said they were concerned about giving Montana the ball, even with so little time remaining and plenty of field to cover.

None of these situations exactly covers the mess Seattle and Atlanta made for themselves, but the thinking — or lack of thinking — behind their blunders comes from the same mindset. Or, perhaps more precisely, because the Patriots managed to force their opponents out of their minds.

It happens more often than you might think.

Bell and Johnson will sign

by Monday afternoon, let’s examine the deals signed by the fortunate foursome.

• Jones: Tendered at $14.55 million; signed a five-year, $82.5 million contract with a $15 million signing bonus, $51 million guaranteed and $31 million fully guaranteed at signing.

• Short: Tendered at $13.39 million; signed a five-year, $80.5 million contract with a $20 million signing bonus and $35 million fully guaranteed.

• Ingram: Tendered at $14.55 million; signed four-year, $66 million contract with a $10.5 million signing bonus, $42 million guaranteed and $34 million fully guaranteed at signing.

are normally not a team that goes significantly over the value they place on players.

The reality is that Bell’s franchise tag is $4 million more than the average of McCoy’s deal and Bell’s tender is just $6.25 million less than the full guarantees in McCoy’s contract.

What the future holds: Depending on durability and production, the Steelers could franchise Bell again in 2018 for about $14.54 million. That appears unlikely, so unless the Steelers up the ante, Bell will probably play it out and accept the franchise tag next February or become an unrestricted free agent.

Trumaine Johnson Age: 27 2016 salary: $13.95 million (franchise tag) Highest-paid NFL cornerback: Josh Norman, Redskins; $15 million average; $50 million guaranteed with $36.5 million fully guaranteed at signing.

Where things stand: Johnson has signed his $16.74 million tender, which inexplicably has guaranteed him $30.69 million over the last two seasons, not demonstrably less than Norman’s full guarantee. Plus, that total is slightly more than the average of Norman’s entire deal. With decisions like that, it’s no wonder why the Rams usually suffer.

Consider that they could have franchised cornerback Janoris Jenkins instead of Johnson last year.

What the future holds: It appears certain Johnson will be with another team in 2018. To retain him on another franchise tag would cost the Rams $24.1 million, a move even they would not make.

feel good about where my game is.”

Bayer’s day started off with a bogey. He hit his tee shot left of the fairway on a gravel cart path. After a drop, his approach found the greenside bunker and he was unable to get up and down.

Bayer got the shot right back at No. 2, when he birdied the dogleg uphill hole. He made the turn in even-par 35. He had two bogeys and two birdies on the back nine and finished the round with a birdie on the large tri-leveled green.

“This has been one of my best ball-striking weeks

I can remember,” Bayer said. “I’ve missed a lot of putts inside 15 feet. I’ve given myself lots of opportunities. I’ve been hitting it great. I just haven’t made any putts.”

Although the West Lake course has Bermuda greens, just like the ones at Bayer’s home course at Berkeley Hills Country Club in Norcross, he has yet to figure them out.

There’s enough difference in the surfaces to throw him off just a bit. If he can solve the issue by Sunday afternoon, he’ll have a chance to become the first winner from Gwinnett

County since Dacula’s Rick Cloninger took the title in 1999 at Great Waters.

“I’ve come back from six shots before, so it’s doable, especially out here if you get hot,” Bayer said.

“I haven’t got hot with the putter yet. I’m waiting and hopefully that will be in the last round. There’s a 7-under out there.”

Bayer will be paired with Steven Fisk of McDonough, who will be his teammate at Georgia Southern this fall, and Jared O’Kelley, a native of Canton who just completed his college career at Cincinnati. O’Kelly was the 36-hole leader.

“I’ll just stick to my game and hopefully that will mean a good finish,” Bayer said. “It’s worked so far. I just have to go out and stay focused and stay one shot at a time.”

Bayer is the only local player still in contention.

Brett Barron of Suwanee — another Georgia Southern player — shot 67 on Satuday and is tied for 21st at 1-over. Kane Whitehurst of Duluth is tied for 26th after a 72. Mike Cromer of Peachtree Corners is tied for 34th and Brandon Cho of Suwanee, the Georgia Junior champion, is tied for 38th.

Distance to base in Denver not slowing Truex team

By Don Coble

Staff Correspondent

Since the ride home took nearly 1,200 miles, the celebration at Furniture Row Racing for Martin Truex Jr.’s dominating victory Saturday night at the Kentucky Speedway was delayed a day.

That’s the downside of basing a race team in Denver.

And the benefit.

Instead of operating around Charlotte, N.C., like the rest of NASCAR, car owner Barney Visser prefers to base his work a couple of time zones away — even at the expense of additional travel and costs.

Since travel from the Rocky Mountains to the East Coast adds two days to the work week, fabricators and engineers are pressured to turn cars around quickly.

And that doesn’t include the countless miles turned in by the truck drivers.

“It’s difficult at times.

I feel like a lot of times we’re hanging on by a thread, but it’s just the way it is,” crew chief Cole Pearn said. “We’ve got a group out there that we’ve been together for a while, and we’ve been through the lows and we’ve (stunk), and we’ve had those moments where it’s tested all of us.”

Joe Gibbs Racing builds the chassis, while Toyota Research Development supplies the engines. Cars, however, are assembled in Denver. Visser often uses his empty furniture trucks on return runs to shuttle the parts and pieces.

On paper, it shouldn’t work. But Furniture Row found a way to not only make it work, but excel.

The distance between Denver and Charlotte keeps the team dedicated and focused. Secrets aren’t shared with competitors.

Once a crewman is in Colorado, there really isn’t where else to go.

While Truex has elevated a team that struggled for years to the highest level, even he’s challenged by the distance.

“I don’t really see it because I don’t get there very often, but I hear about it.

Cole tells me,” Truex said.

“Cole and I talk all the time and we text back and forth about, ‘Hey, what’s going on, what are you up to, how’s things and how did last week go, what are we working on?’ We constantly keep in touch. But he tells me when things are kind of crazy and when things are going crazy.”

Truex won his third race of the year last Saturday to tie Jimmie Johnson for the most victories of the season. More impressive, he won both segments and will take 28 bonus points into the Chase for the Championship.

He’s won 13 segments this season, prompting

Kurt Busch to say Truex could “lollygag” the rest of the regular season.

Kyle Larson is second with 13 bonus points.

Furniture Row also leads the sport in frequent flier miles.

“It’s tough in Colorado,” Pearn said. “I mean, we’ve got to load a day early most weeks, so we work closely with JGR and obviously they’ve got a day ahead of us, so our Monday and Tuesdays are pretty much hair on fire most weeks, so it’s amazing sometimes I feel like we make it to the racetrack, but when we do, we’re generally good.”

While JGR has its thumbprint on much of Furniture Row’s success, Truex’s team has found a way to create its own identity. Those differences are why the four Gibbs’ cars are winless this year and the two-car team in Denver has three victories.

“When you stick together and you’re all out there, you’re not worrying about somebody running down the street to go to a different place for a better deal, it just breeds a lot

of chemistry,” Pearn said.

“It breeds family, actually. I think we’re all there together, whether it’s work struggles or personal life struggles, we all work together. It’s definitely a family atmosphere.

“When you get everybody committed and a group of people like that committed to the same goal, it’s a unique opportunity for sure.”

Despite the distance, Truex feels the connection, too.

“I can’t tell you how good our guys are at just making sure they do all the things right,” he said.

“I think sometimes Cole makes them burn a little midnight oil to get the cars where he wants them, to get things the way he likes it, and sometimes they work a little more than they expected to, but they all do a great job, and they’re willing to put in the hours, and right now it’s showing up.

“I appreciate all of them.

They do an amazing job.

It’s pretty awesome to see, and it’s definitely cool doing it in Denver out there all by ourselves.”

LONDON — Garbine Muguruza overpowered Venus Williams 7-5, 6-0 in the Wimbledon final on Saturday to capture her second Grand Slam title.

The 23-year-old Spaniard, seeded 14th, overcame two set points by Williams to win the first set against the 37-yearold American under the Centre Court roof at the All England Club in London.

After winning the opening set, Muguruza rode the momentum without losing another game, breaking Williams’ serve three times in the second set and clinching the victory after 77 minutes.

“I had the hardest match today against Venus,” Muguruza said during her on-court interview as Williams watched.

“She’s such an incredible player. I grew up watching her play — sorry.

“I feel incredible to be able to play her here.

Of course I’m nervous because I always dreamed about winning it, but I was composed.”

Williams, seeded No. 10 with five Wimbledon titles, was bidding to become the oldest woman in the Open era (since 1968) to win a Grand Slam title.

She was playing in her ninth Wimbledon singles final, winning in 2000, 2001, 2005, 2007 and 2008. She has an overall singles record of 87-15 at Wimbledon.

“She just dug in there and managed to play better,” Williams said.

“She played really well.

I mean, she played top tennis, so I have to give her credit for just playing

a better match. …

“I’ve been in a position a lot of times this year to contend for big titles. That’s the kind of position I want to keep putting myself in. It’s just about getting over the line. I believe I can do that.”

Muguruza lost to Williams’ younger sister, Serena, in the 2015 Wimbledon final. Muguruza won her first major when she beat Serena Williams to capture the 2016 French Open.

“I only play against the Williams sisters. It’s incredible,” Muguruza said after the match. “I like it.

It’s the best final you can get — Serena or Venus.

And to play (Venus) here … she has won five times, she’s an expert.

I don’t know. Finally a Spanish girl can play on grass.”

Muguruza is the second Spanish woman to win Wimbledon, joining her coach, Conchita Martinez, who beat a 37-yearold Martina Navratilova in 1994.

Williams was a point away twice from winning the opening set, ahead 5-4, while Muguruza served. Thereafter, Williams faltered, spraying her shots long, wide and into the net.

Williams, playing in her 20th Wimbledon, finished with 25 unforced errors — 14 more than Muguruza.

“I miss Serena,” Williams said afterwards, with her sister off the tour for the rest of this year because of her pregnancy.

“I tried my best to do the things you do — but I think there will be other opportunities.”

Busch cruises to Xfinity win in N.H.

By Reid Spencer The Sports Xchange

LOUDON, N.H. — Kyle Busch’s celebratory burnout produced a cloud of smoke over the front stretch at New Hampshire Motor Speedway, but Ryan Preece’s first run in top-of-the-line equipment made an even bigger impression in Saturday’s Overton’s 200 NASCAR Xfinity Series race.

After a major snafu on pit road took a potential win away from Brad Keselowski, who had arguably the fastest car at the Magic Mile, Busch cruised to a 10.425-second victory. It was his third win in six starts this season, his sixth at NHMS and the 89th of his career, extending his series record.

Driving the No. 20 Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota for the first time, Preece finished second to his far more experienced teammate and left the track hoping his performance will open the eyes of someone looking for talent behind the wheel.

“This is something I dreamed about, to be honest with you,” said Preece, who won Friday’s All-Star

modified race and finished second in Saturday’s 100-lap preliminary to the Xfinity event. “I work hard week in and week out at the modifieds, so to be able to have this opportunity means a lot to me.”

Preece, who will race at Iowa on July 29 in his only other scheduled event in the No. 20 car, ran the full Xfinity Series schedule last year in Johnny Davis’ No. 01 Chevrolet.

“I don’t take back doing what I did

last year,” Preece said. “It was great.

People don’t even know that I ran full-time, but I got laps. That’s what you need sometimes. I’ve been doing this all my life, so all I needed was the right opportunity.

“Joe Gibbs gave it to me. Congratulations to Kyle, my teammate.

That’s pretty cool to say, right?”

The race, which ran without a caution from a restart on Lap 97 to the finish at Lap 200, turned on the final cycle of green-flag pit stops. Busch ducked onto pit road on Lap 169 for fuel and fresh tires.

Keselowski, who led a race-high 102 laps, brought his car to the pits on Lap 170 but had to angle his No. 22 Ford around Kyle Larson’s No. 42 Chevrolet, which had started to leave its pit stall as Keselowski pulled in.

When the jack dropped and Keselowski accelerated, the gas can was still locked into its coupler, and the forward motion of the car pulled both the can and the fueler out of the No. 22’s pit stall.

Keselowski had to serve a stopand-go penalty for dragging equipment outside the pit box.

Adams, Braves blast Diamondbacks U.S. breezes

by Nicaragua in Gold Cup group finale

By Guy Curtright The Sports Xchange

ATLANTA — The Atlanta Braves finally scored against Patrick Corbin, then pinch hitter Lane Adams made sure that the Arizona Diamondbacks left-hander wouldn’t get another victory against them.

Adams delivered a threerun double in a four-run sixth inning against the Diamondbacks bullpen and the Braves clinched the weekend series with an 8-5 victory Saturday night.

Corbin stretched his scoreless streak against the Braves to 27 2/3 innings before a third-inning homer by Brandon Phillips. He was in line for a fourth victory until the Braves got the best of the Arizona bullpen for the second straight game.

The key two-out hit was by reserve outfielder Adams, who has eight RBIs on his six pinch hits in 25 at-bats this season.

Randall Delgado (1-2) was charged with all four runs in the eighth, allowing three hits and a walk while getting just two outs. Ender Inciarte drove in the last run of the inning with his third hit of the game, making it 6-3.

The Arizona bullpen gave up two more runs, including a pinch homer by Jace Peterson in the eighth inning, as the Braves (44-45) handed the Diamondbacks (53-38) their seventh loss in the past eight games.

It went downhill for Arizona after Daniel Descalso, pinch hitting for Corbin, singled in the tying run off Braves starter

Mike Foltynewicz in the sixth.

Descalsco scored the lead run on a two-out single by Paul Goldschmidt off reliever Luke Jackson.

Foltynewicz, who labored through 110 pitches, was charged with three runs on eight hits in 5 1/3 innings. He walked three and struck out six.

Corbin allowed six hits and two runs over five innings.

He struck out six and his only walk was intentional.

Jim Johnson pitched a perfect ninth inning for his 21st save and Ian Krol (2-2) got credit for the victory after retiring the only batter he faced in the sixth.

The Braves went up 2-1 in the fifth inning as Inciarte

singled with two outs and scored on a double by Phillips, who had three hits in his first three at-bats.

The Diamondbacks amassed three singles in the first inning.

Chris Owings delivered a twostrike RBI hit with two outs, but Arizona left eight runners on base in the first four innings.

The Braves scored against Corbin with one out in the third. Phillips turned on a hanging 3-2 slider and smashed his eighth homer into the left-center field seats.

Corbin’s scoreless streak of 27 2/3 innings against the Braves to start his career was the longest in the majors since Houston’s Pete Harnish went 29 innings against San Diego

in 1991 and 1992.

Notes: RHP Zack Godley (3-3, 2.58 ERA) will pitch today’s series finale for the Diamondbacks against Braves LHP Jaime Garcia (2-7, 4.55 ERA). Garcia has lost his last five decisions. … Neither team took batting practice on the field Saturday because of late-afternoon rain, but the game started on time under clearing skies. … The sellout crowd of 41,627 was the largest in SunTrust Park’s first season. … Braves INF/OF Danny Santana (leg infection) was 5-for-5 with three RBIs, a double and a stolen base Saturday in his second rehab game for Triple-A Gwinnett.

He is eligible to come off the 10-day disabled list Monday.

The Sports Xchange CLEVELAND — Matt Miazga’s goal in the 88th minute allowed the United States to secure first place in Group B of the CONCACAF Gold Cup on Saturday with a 3-0 victory against short-handed Nicaragua at FirstEnergy Stadium in Cleveland.

The U.S. (2-0-1) had to win by at least three goals to claim first place after Panama (2-0-1) defeated Martinique 3-0 in the first game of the doubleheader.

The Americans will play the thirdplace team from Group A or C in a quarterfinal match Wednesday in Philadelphia, while Panama will have a potentially tougher match against Group A winner Costa Rica.

Joe Corona scored in the 36th minute and Kelyn Rowe in the 56th with Alejandro Bedoya notching a pair of assists.

Nicaragua goalkeeper Justo Lorente made penalty kick saves on Dwyer in the 51st minute and Corona in the 63rd to frustrate the U.S. However, the third goal came after Nicaragua went down to 10 men when Luis Copete was issued a second yellow card in the 85th minute for his challenge on Juan Agudelo.

Soon after on a free kick, Graham Zusi found Miazga for a header from six yards out.

Corona gave the U.S. a 1-0 lead when his shot, from a cross by Bedoya, deflected off Nicaragua defender Bismarck Veliz from the onset. The ball scooted into the lower left corner of the net for Corona’s third goal in 20 international games.

Rowe’s first goal in his third match doubled the advantage after pressure resulted in a turnover.

The goal came after Dwyer failed to give the U.S. a 2-0 lead when his penalty kick was saved by Lorente. The save prevented Dwyer from becoming the third American male to score in his first three U.S. matches.

Nicaragua was 0-3-0 and outscored 6-1 in the biannual championship of North and Central America and the Caribbean.

Titans prepping for tough region Lions’ offense gets

By Collin Huguley Staff correspondent

The Discovery Titans football program has been thrown straight into the fire.

Heading into just its second season of varsity football under head coach Efrem Hill, the Titans are in a region with a murderer’s row of programs such as Mill Creek, Collins Hill and North Gwinnett, among others.

After a 2-8 season in Discovery’s Khiree Seabrook (2) pass blocks Peachtree Hill’s first year at the Ridge defender Deandre Byrd (5) during a game last helm, he and his team are season. (Photo: Craig Cappy) feeling more comfortable “We go offense one and confident with one leaders who don’t speak. I day and defense one day another. But with such a don’t want to say that they because we are looking for don’t speak but they just young program, the former NFL wide receiver is players who can play both get out there and show you still working this summer ways,” Hill said. “A lot how to do it.” to form a united front. of our guys are learning But the construction of “I think we just need to two positions just in case the roster currently rests keep getting everybody we do need them.

They’re build and it will be over a multiple positions. just working hard. I prefer few years. But if we can

continue to get, say, our O-line to play D-line as well, that will help our depth.”

As for a group that is making an impression, Hill has loved the work that his offensive line has put in this summer when it comes to clearing the way for guys like Grier and Seabrook, and in some of their efforts to learn to play on the defensive line as well.

“Our O-line has stood out,” Hill said. “That is the toughest position that also gets the least amount of recognition. But looking from last year to our spring game to yesterday, they have come a long way. We still have work we have to do. But they have been working hard in the weight room.”

But heading into Year 2 on the big stage, Hill sees that his team is much better equipped to have success than they were last season.

After just experiencing what this level of high school football demands, the Titans are much more zeroed in on what lies ahead for them.

“They are a little more hungry than they were last year because now they have faced the competition level,” Hill said. “The competition that you face week in and week out, once they saw that last year, their intensity has gone up in the weight room, classroom and on the field.”

can’t afford two bad snaps game. That’s job No. 1.

Any blocking we get after that is a bonus.”

While it isn’t quite the same as live snaps, Swank said getting all three center contenders a working rhythm with El-Amin and the other quarterbacks during summer 7-on-7 camps and tournaments was an important preliminary step for the upcoming battle for the starting job.

“We’ve taken … these guys to 7-on-7 (tournaments) to give them experience,” Swank said.

“They all played in the spring game, and they all played pretty well.”

While the battle for the center job is quite crowded and the other staring positions on the line seem well stocked, the search for depth has been the other hot button issue this summer.

It’s not as if there aren’t

options, with juniors Andrew Cross and Benjamin Tooks having plenty of ability and experience to contribute.

But with both players expected to make an impact on defense, Swank doesn’t want to have to overextend either by seeing too much time in the trenches on offense.

That’s why hopes are high that younger players can step up to take over the depth roles along the offensive linemen.

“Those guys are our insurance policy,” Swank said of Tooks and Cross.

“They can both bring it.

We’ve got some guys training who are going to get better.

“The good news is that last year, three sophomore started on the offensive line. This year, we won’t have any sophomore starting, but they’ve got to be ready to play.”

revamped in first year under Stancil

By Paul Thomas

paul.thomas@ gwinnettdailypost.com

With the exception of perhaps not quite fully understanding the pressures of fundraising, the first few months on the job for new Peachtree Ridge football head coach Reggie Stancil have gone about as expected.

Stancil credited his assistant coaches for the work they’ve put in during the transition, as well as the players willingness to buy in for the smooth transition.

“They’ve been great,” he said of the players.

“They’ve been really, really good. Going into it through the spring, there’s a lot of things that we tried to change culture-wise and they felt right in line, doing everything we asked. They worked hard and that’s all you can ask for.”

Defensively the culture has remained much of the same for the Lions. Stancil retained defensive coordinator Gary Hughes from Mark Fleetwood’s staff.

In addition to Hughes, Stancil said that seniors Wilson Catoe, Brandon Demby and Choice Hale have led the way.

“Those guys have done a great job of keeping everything going the right way on defense because we’re doing the same things since it’s the same D-Coordinator,” Stancil said. “I felt like that was important, to have at least one side of the ball kind of consistent since I was going to do the offense.”

Peachtree Ridge has not only had to adjust to Stancil’s system this spring and summer, but it’s also had to replace a huge chunk of last year’s offensive production.

Junior Travino Ayalla and sophomore Seth Roberston are battling to replace Fred Payton, who transferred to Parkview for his senior season, at quarterback for the Lions.

While senior Peyton Bowens and junior Trent Brown help replenish a receiving corps that lost Connor Heyward, Zane Ashley and Dondre Sanderson to graduation.

The Lions passing attack has also gotten a boost from the lacrosse team this summer. Senior attackman Payne Durham has opted to spend his final high school fall on the gridiron.

The 6-foot-5, 240-pound senior has been lining up at tight end after not playing football since middle school “Payne’s been a blessing,” Stancil said. “He’s been very, very receptive.

He learns really, really quick and he’s had a great summer with football, being that he hasn’t played since sixth or seventh grade.”

The biggest plus Stancil has had this offseason for the Lions offense has been the veteran presence along the offensive line. Tackle Daniel Webster and guard Bryce Jones each return as starters for their senior season and fellow senior Braxton Brown has been significant contributor who will slide into the starting lineup this fall.

Another senior, Tyrese Rivers, moved over from defensive line to play tackle as well.

“We’re kind of relying heavily on our offensive linemen,” Stancil said.

“Those guys are seniors, they’re smart guys, they work their butts off and we’re leaning on those guys to lead us in the direction we need to go.”

the county on Twitter included “terrible,” “horrible,” “bad,” “worst” and “embarrassing.”

Other reactions noted the food-related theme among many of the finalists, with one fan writing, “This is a baseball team, not the menu at @goldencorral.”

G-Braves general manager North Johnson said he wasn’t surprised by the blowback that has been expressed not only on the Daily Post’s, but also the team’s social media sties, citing other minor league teams that experienced a similar reaction during the process of changing their names.

“We were prepared for

this kind of reaction,” Johnson said. “When El Paso (held a similar contest that resulted in the name Chihuahuas) went through this they were skewered in the media. When Lehigh Valley went through this with the (name) IronPigs and Jacksonville went through it with the Jumbo Shrimps (changed from Suns in 2016), those teams have been hammered not only online, but in the media. And every single one of (those teams) have gone on to have success (with the new names).

“We knew anything we did outside of Braves would spark a backlash, so we were prepared for that.

My question to those peo-

ple would be, how many games have those people been to? Every single thing we’ve done from a marketing standpoint hasn’t not drawn more people to the ballpark.”

There were positive responses to the finalists on the Daily Post’s Twitter page, as well, though many of them had a qualifier accompanying them.

Most of the positive responses promoted one of the finalist names or another specifically, with “Buttons” — based on the name of Button Gwinnett, the county’s namesake — being the most commonly favored.

Johnson said that the team is undeterred in its

process to rename the team and will continue it with the aid of sports marketing firm Brandiose despite the criticism of the six announced finalist names.

Voting on the new team name is set to continue online through July 24, with a decision scheduled to be announced sometime in late October or early November.

“Our plans are to go forward,” Johnson said.

“We’ve gone through a painstaking process, and Brandiose has a proven method (of marketing) using a number of different elements. … We didn’t go into this by being timid, and we’re not going to get timid.”

IN BRIEF

GAC’s Benton leads Team Elite to repeat national title

Team Elite, a Nike-sponsored basketball team with several Gwinnett players, won the Nike Girls Elite Youth Basketball national title this week.

The team became the first to repeat as Nike national champion after finishing first in last year’s under-15 and under-17 brackets. Team Elite defeated the All Iowa Track 67-49 in the finals.

Auburn commit Robyn Benton, who plays at Greater Atlanta Christian, had 18 points, eight rebounds and four assists in the title game to offset missing point guard Amaya Register, a Wesleyan student who was out with an injury. Grayson’s Bianca Fizouaty also played a key role for Team Elite.

Lady Blackhawks win Shootout at the Shore

The Lady Blackhawks Middle School Select lacrosse team went undefeated to win last weekend’s Shootout at the Shore tournament in Myrtle Beach, S.C. The team rallied in exciting fashion to capture the crown by winning 4-3 in the finals.

Members of the championship team are: Itali David, Avery Finley, Anne Friese, Kaylin Harris, JoJo Holland, Amelia King, Kiersten Lennig, Alyssa Lewis, Danielle Nigro, Jordyn Olivo, Macie Pennebaker, Emma Stewart, Lexi Tinker, Gigi Tyner, Morgan Vasseur, Hannah Williamson, Katheryn Wilson and Kendall Wilson.

The team is coached by Paul Finley, Doug Lewis and Jason Lennig.

And what made this camp so unique was how hands-on the football pros were with the campers. “(Having so many active NFL players on staff) is what was so good about this camp,” said North Gwinnett wide receivers coach Gerald Mitchell, who also helped coach the camp. “I do a lot of these camps and I’ve never seen a camp that has this many guys that are in the NFL that are actively participating in training the kids.

Because normally, NFL guys will come out and make an appearance but they kind of sit back and don’t do anything.”

Players from a wide range of ages and sizes competed at this camp and the hope of the coaches was to show every kid there that hard work could allow them to reach any goal, regardless of how lofty it may seem. “(Having NFL players as coaches) shows these kids that anything is possible,” Nelson said. “As you can see, Bradley and I are not the biggest guys in the NFL but it is about the heart to be the best in the NFL because size doesn’t matter. There are a lot of smaller guys out here and this gives them the courage and motivation, seeing us, to know that they can do the same thing.”

such as Roby, Nelson, Minter, and Garcia is the most special one.

It has become a great honor for those NFL players to be role models for the kids that may walk the same halls and play on the same fields they did growing up.

“It’s huge for these kids to see that guys from around here can make it,” Minter said. “There are so many kids that come out of Gwinnett in every facet.

It is good for these kids to see that and it allows them to strive to make it, too.”

While not every player that attends this camp will be a collegiate or NFL standout, this is still an ample opportunity for them.

The coaches from Gwinnett once attended the

same football camps and have made friendships and connections that last for years because of the bond that football can create. “(The kids) can see how this organization can bring people together,” Nelson said. “(Some of the other coaches and I) have known each other for years and we’re staying connected.

At this camp, the kids get an opportunity to get to know each other and stay connected for the rest of their lives. If they don’t make it to the NFL, they still have a relationship and brotherhood from guys that they met on this day.”

But there is also a chance that some kids from this camp follow in the coaches’ footsteps and compete at the high-

est level of the sport one day and that is what drives Roby to do this camp.

The opportunity to be a mentor and guide for a young, promising football player is one that he relishes and he hopes that the next generation can learn from him and carry that mantle on to younger players that they may coach one day.

“Eventually, these kids will be in my shoes,” Roby said. “A few select number of these kids will make it to the NFL. Then, it will be their job to come back and show love and put on a camp for the young guys.

You’ve always got to pay it forward and be a good role model and example, and that is what I wanted to do today.”

Former Augusta chairman dies at 86 Hootie Johnson, whose tenure at Augusta National Golf Club was defined by pressure to invite female members, died Friday.

Johnson was 86.

The official Instagram page of the Masters announced Johnson’s death Friday afternoon.

Augusta National made the announcement that its former chairman from 1998 to 2006 passed away while citing his numerous changes to one of the PGA’s four major tournaments.

Halfway into his tenure in 2002, Johnson clashed with Martha Burk, who led the National Council of Women’s Organizations.

Johnson stated at the time that women might “one day be invited but it would be on the club’s timetable” and “not at the point of a bayonet.”

Augusta National opened in 1931 and did not admit its first black member until 1990. It invited two women to join in 2012 — former Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice and South Carolina businesswoman Darla Moore, who was nominated by Johnson.

“I’m excited about (the Clippers),” Williams said. “They still have the two big guys (Griffin and Jordan) there. I always thought they were two of the more talented bigs we have in this league. I’m excited those guys are still there.

“I’m starting to get to the point where I see some of the younger kids we had in the past be on high school teams and now they’re turning into counselors for me. It just grows. I’ve got 205 kids this year. I’ve got another 100 kids in the small gym. It’s not dying down.

“If I felt like my influence, or if I didn’t have an impact in my community anymore, I would just fade to black. But it’s growing.

The kids are getting to the point where it’s something they look forward to doing in the summer, so I keep doing it.”

The camp was free to the first 100 kids and was helped set up by Collins Hill head coach Lenny Gregory, who served as Nkemdiche’s legal guardian for a period of time and helped coach him as an assistant with Grayson from 2008-14.

“Coach Gregory helped me so much with this,” Nkemdiche said. “He really put it together and we just touched base a few times. It was a great outcome thanks to him.”

Nkemdiche was surrounded by friends and family all morning and made sure to catch up with as many people as he could in the four hours that the camp lasted.

“It’s a breath of fresh air,” he said about seeing so many familiar faces.

“This is home. Everyone always wants to go away from home when they go off to college. So when you

BEDMINSTER, N.J. — Shanshan Feng remains at the head of the pack after three rounds of the 72nd U.S. Women’s Open.

Feng, a native of China, sank a late birdie putt to shoot a 1-under-par 71 on Saturday for a 9-under 207 after 54 holes.

Today, the 27-year-old will be trying to win her second major championship. (She won what was then the LPGA Championship in 2012.)

She’ll also be attempting to become the first Women’s Open champion in 40 years to hold the lead alone after all four rounds.

Feng is being pursued by a host of challengers.

Amy Yang and amateur Hye-Jin Choi, both of South Korea, were at 8-under 208 after rounds of 70.

Sung Hyun Park, a South Korean who was the 36-hole leader at this championship last year, carded a 67 and was at 6-under 210.

Mirim Lee, 2011 Women’s Open champion So Yeo Ryu and Jeongeun Lee, all of South Korea, are at 5-under 211.

consecutive Constellation Senior Players Championship.

The 59-year-old German finished the third round with a 6-under-par 66 to open a one-stroke lead over Brandt Jobe on Saturday in Owings Mills, Md. After 54 holes, Langer stands atop the leaderboard at 18-under 198 after passing Jobe over the last three holes of the third round in the Senior Players, which is one of the majors on the circuit for players age 50 and older.

“If I had a seven-shot lead I would expect to win,” Langer said, “but a one-shot lead can be gone on the first hole.”

Jobe bogeyed his first hole of the day at No. 16 and then dunked a tee shot in the water on No. 17 for another bogey.

Meanwhile, Langer went par-birdie-par on the last three holes.

Jobe still finished the round with a 65 to hold onto second place.

Five strokes separated Jobe from third-place Scott McCarron, who shot a 69 to complete the round at 12-under 204 along with Corey Pavin (71).

knows that he can only look forward and move on to bigger and better things.

“It’s been amazing, man, but things change,” he said.

“I went to college and I’ve grown. I’m in a new light.

I have a platform right now to be an influence and I want to use it to the max.”

Nkemdiche got a taste of what it was like to live far from home when he packed everything up and

moved to Oxford, Miss., to play for Ole Miss. Now he’s moved even farther away from home and is enjoying the Arizona life as much as he can.

“Arizona is a different wave,” he said. “I’ve gotten accustomed to it and I’m doing what I’m supposed to do, and I’m being the best Robert Nkemdiche that I can be over there.”

And as any football player will tell you, there were specific goals set that he wanted to achieve before he reports to Cardinals’ training camp in less than two weeks.

“Learning the playbook, honing in on my skills and just paying attention to details,” he said. “I’m just growing and evolving as a person and I’m never finding a place of complacency because the sky is the limit. I’m just staying in my lane and staying focused.”

When asked if he is ready to show everyone in the NFL what he’s truly capable, he answered with a very short, but honest sentence.

“I am,” he said.

Rodgers leads at John Deere Classic Patrick Rodgers carded a 3-under-par 68 on Saturday to maintain his two-stroke lead through three rounds of the John Deere Classic at Silvis, Ill. Rodgers, who surged to the top of the leaderboard with a superb 64 in the second round, moved to 16-under 197 entering today’s final round at TPC Deere Run. Seeking his first victory on the PGA Tour, the 25-year-old Rodgers had five birdies and two bogeys in his round to stay two shots clear of fastclosing Daniel Berger and Scott Stallings.

“This is a nice course to play with the lead to be honest with you because you have to keep the pedal down all day, 16 under is not going to win tomorrow, so I need to go out and make a lot of birdies,” Rodgers said.

“It was nice to be able to have that mindset today.

You’re not ready holding on, you’re still trying to be aggressive and make birdies.”

As an eighth-degree Taekwondo black belt and long standing instructor of the martial arts, Master Young Joon Yoo has helped instill confidence and self-discipline in thousands of students through Taekwondo.

Yet in all his years of teaching and training, there was a special student who Yoo said taught him a few lessons.

In 1999, he began private taekwondo lessons at his Taekwondo Seoul studio in Suwanee. with Nick, a 10-year-old with severe mental and physical disabilities.

“He was 10 years old, wearing a diaper, and it was a challenge for him to stay focused,” Yoo said.

Despite Nick’s limitations, Yoo was persistent in teaching him the disciplines of Taekwondo.

The patience paid off. Just six months into his private lessons, Nick no longer needed to wear a diaper and showed increased focus and physical ability. Nick continued his training with Yoo, and seven years into the program, Nick had earned a black belt in Taekwondo.

Yoo earned his first black belt at 8 years old in 1967, and trains pupils who compete in elite international tournaments, but he said it was Nick’s growth that gave him the confidence and patience needed to train special-needs

Students receive scholarships Why hobbies make

Good News from Schools

Keith Farner Five Gwinnett students have received scholarships from the Atlanta Ronald McDonald House Charities, including one that is worth $10,000 over four years.

The other scholarships are worth $1,500, but Ibaad Khan of Collins Hill High received a $10,000 scholarship over four years. The scholarships were given at an awards breakfast in late June at the Gatewood Ronald McDonald House near Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta at Egleston.

The Atlanta Ronald McDonald House Charities awarded a total of $275,000 in scholarships to 60 graduating high school seniors from across the metro Atlanta area.

Along with Khan, who plans to attend the University of Georgia, the other Gwinnett students and their schools are McKenna Yearick, who is homeschooled (Georgia College and State University); Antonio Cruz, Shiloh High (Valdosta State University); Itzel Rivera, Peachtree Ridge High (University of Georgia); and Pierce Brody, Duluth High (Massachusetts Institute of Technology).

The RMHC scholarship programs are for applicants who must have at least one parent of Asian/Pacific-Islander heritage, at least one parent of African American or Black Caribbean heritage, Hispanic heritage, or students regardless of ethnic heritage provided they have not applied for one of the other scholarship programs.

That performance earned the school a spot in the World Championship in Louisville, Ky., where Parkview’s teams were crowned World Champions in the VEX Robotics Promote Online Video Challenge and were awarded the Research Division Service Award.

The VEX Robotics Competition, presented by the Robotics Education and Competition Foundation, is the ultimate STEM activity for middle school and high school students. Each year, an engineering challenge is presented in the form of a game. Students, with guidance from their teachers and mentors, use the VEX Robotics Design System to build innovative robots designed to score the most points possible in qualification matches, elimination matches and skills challenges.

“The funds provided by the scholarship have not only lessened the potential burdens that would stop me from operating at my fullest potential while studying abroad, but also they have encouraged me to wholeheartedly pursue all that I put my mind to — academic goals, professional goals and simple everyday life goals,” Marsh said.

Marsh also received the University of Georgia Experiential Learning Scholarship.

The Benjamin A. Gilman Scholarship awards students up to $5,000 to apply toward their study abroad or internship program costs. The program aims to diversify the students who study and intern abroad and the countries and regions where they go.

Keith Farner writes about education. Good News from Schools appears in the Sunday edition of the Daily Post.

Would you hire a wind surfer?

How about a furniture painter?

Would leadership promote someone who spends their weekends writing and reading poetry?

We often think hobbies and leisure time activities take us away from work. But developing a rich life outside of work can make you more successful at work.

The truth is you don’t have a personal life and a work life; you have one life, your life. The skills you develop in one area bleed over into others. If you want to be more successful at work, try spending some time in these three areas: 1. Hobbies If someone asks you, “What do you do for fun?” are you the person who answers with “Ughhhh sleep?”

Burning the candle at both ends is a recipe for more than just burnout; it’s a recipe for dull, uninspiring work.

Hobbies outside of work keep you interesting and interested. Hobbies help you become more creative and strategic. I get some of my best ideas when I’m walking, water skiing or chalk painting furniture. If you don’t know what chalk painting is, you’re missing out.

Using different colored paints and techniques to transform old furniture into stunning modern pieces is one of my favorite hobbies. Producing something beautiful with no constraints ignites my visual senses.

My clients benefit because I literally see things differently after spending a few hours creating a visual effect.

Give yourself space to pursue art, beauty, music, reading, cooking, or whatever strikes your fancy. Spending a Saturday on YouTube Banjo lessons is time well spent because it resets your brain in a more creative way.

2. Relationship development Most jobs give you some type of training to do the job itself. Great jobs provide ongoing development in leadership or business acumen.

But you don’t need to limit yourself to a business or organizational setting. The more you broaden your self-development lens, the more likely you will be able to succeed in bigger roles. When you study

bestbets SUNDAY

MONDAY

10 p.m. on PBS Remember Me Though he’s best-known for comedy, Monty Python veteran Michael Palin makes a sharp turn into drama in this new three-part suspense tale. He plays a senior citizen who gets himself into an assisted-living program by faking a fall, but ends up in a very real mystery when he witnesses a social worker’s death. Others seem relatively unconcerned, with the exception of a young healthcare assistant (Jodie Comer).

Mark Addy also stars.

9 p.m. on TNT Will In a new episode called “Two Gentlemen,” Will (Laurie Davidson) has an artistic epiphany that could put him on the road to success, but he’s going to need some help from Alice Burbage (Olivia DeJonge) first.

On a far more dangerous front, a charismatic fugitive (Max Bennett) from Will’s past resurfaces and burdens him with an obligation that puts Will’s life at risk.

10 p.m. on AMC Loaded When their cellphone game “Cat Factory” is a hit, four young British tech entrepreneurs (Jim Howick, Jonny Sweet, Samuel Anderson, Nick Helm) soon draw interest from people who want to buy their company, Idyl Hands. They sell to Casey (Mary McCormack), who starts pushing them for another blockbuster game. Unfortunately, the guys are distracted by a lawsuit from an old associate, who claims he invented a key component of “Cat Factory,” in this new comedy-drama.

Michael Palin

sider Patricia Gregson (Beverly D’Angelo).

WEDNESDAY

Ryan Phillippe

TUESDAY 10 p.m. on USA Shooter Season 2 opens with “The Hunting Party,” which finds Bob Lee Swagger (Ryan Phillippe) in Frankfurt, Germany, with his former Marine unit for an awards ceremony. That happy event is interrupted by a terrorist attack, however, and Bob Lee and wife Julie (Shantel VanSanten) narrowly escape with their lives. Back in the States, FBI Agent Nadine Memphis (Cynthia AddaiRobinson) takes a new job with powerful Washington in-

9 p.m. on NBC The Carmichael Show Cynthia (Loretta Devine) has crises on two related fronts in the new episode “Evelyn and Vernon,” named for the character’s parents (played by guest stars Starletta Dupois and Bill Cobbs). Their marriage is faltering, prompting Cynthia to question whether her own union with Joe (David Alan Grier) is all that solid. Jerrod Carmichael, Amber Stevens West, Lil Rel Howery and Tiffany Haddish also star. Another episode follows.

THURSDAY 9 p.m. on CW Hooten & the Lady Though her mother (Jane Seymour) wants Alex (Ophelia Lovibond) to stay put and focus on her upcoming nuptials, the bride-to-be is spirited away

by Hooten (Michael Landes) to search for an ancient book in the new episode “Rome.”

Indeed, that’s where the adventurers end up, and they gain

access to the Sistine Chapel by questionable means. An alligator is among the perils they eventually face. Jonathan Bailey, Shaun Parkes and Jessica Hynes also star.

10 p.m. on CBS Zoo New York City is the site of a team reunion as Abraham and Daniela (Nonso Anozie, Alyssa Diaz) meet up with their comrades in the new episode “Welcome to the Terra Dome.”

The greetings are brief, though, since the hybrids are on the rampage ... threatening to take much more than a bite out of the Big Apple.

FRIDAY 8 p.m. on ABC Movie: Descendants 2 A new sequel to the 2015 cable movie about the offspring of legendary Disney characters, this music-infused fantasy debuts across five of the company’s networks simultaneously. Dove Cameron, Cameron Boyce, Sofia Carson and Booboo Stewart are among the returning stars as the so-called Villain Kids go back to the Isle of the Lost. There, they try to

keep evil influences from escaping to the outside world.

SATURDAY 3:30 p.m. on ABC WNBA Basketball After forgoing the All-Star game because of the Summer Olympics in Rio last year the WNBA is ready to showcase its top players when the event resumes on the Seattle Storm’s home court. Expect 2016 league MVP Nneka Ogwumike of the reigning WNBA champion Los Angeles Sparks to be among the all-stars along with Maya Moore of the Minnesota Lynx, who was the All-Star game MVP the last time it was played in 2015.

AUBURN Library hosting bubble show for kids With summer vacations winding down for kids in the area, the Auburn Public Library is planning to host an event this week that officials promise will be unforgettable.

It involves bubbles. Lots and lots of bubbles.

The library will host Ziggy’s Bubble Show at 11 a.m.

Tuesday. Audience members will get to follow Ziggy through Bubble-land in this interactive musical program. The kids will get to be on stage as helpers during the show as well.

The library is located at 24 Fifth St. in Auburn.

BARROW COUNTY Winder Public Library to host Mr. Keith the Magic Man Things are about to get magical at the Winder Public Library.

Keith Karnock, also known as Mr. Keith the Magic Man, will be at the library from 11 a.m. to noon Wednesday to present an all new show. Mr. Keith promises to fill the hour with tricks and “his zany pal Vern,” according to a press release.

BERKELEY LAKE City to pick up trash along Peachtree Industrial Boulevard, Ridge Road City Council will pay for the city’s landscaping group to clean up trash along two roads that aren’t normally citymaintained.

Mayor Lois Salter wrote in her monthly newsletter that the decision came about after residents complained about the “unsightly trash that people leave along Peachtree Industrial Boulevard” as well as Ridge Road.

“Ridge is the only road in the city that is wooded for enough distance that people think they can dump there with impunity,” Salter said. “Our citizens have always done an excellent job of picking up trash as they walk throughout the city.”

She urged residents to continue picking up litter and to report the car tag number of anybody they see littering or dumping in the city.

“We will see that they are prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law,” Salter said.

County officials officially open McDaniel Farm Park expansion

BY CURT YEOMANS curt.yeomans@gwinnettdailypost.com

For years, McDaniel Farm Park has been a place near Gwinnett Place Mall where residents could see what a farm in Gwinnett County was like in the early Twentieth Century.

Now, it is much more than that.

County officials officially opened a large, recently completed expansion of the park Tuesday. It includes a farm-themed playground, dog parks for large and small dogs, additional walking trails, a restroom and a new pavilion.

It also adds a second entrance to the park on Duluth Highway, rather than making people drive over to the mall area to access the property.

“It’s a pretty good drive around, so (the expansion) opens this park up to a lot of folks that live in this area,” Deputy County Administrator Phil Hoskins said.

With the $3.4 million expansion completed, McDaniel Farm Park now fills out about 134 acres of land that the county bought for it over the years. The site was drawn in an 1820 land lottery and passed through a couple of hands before Eli McDaniel bought it for $450 in 1859.

It remained in the McDaniel family until the county bought it after Archie McDaniel passed away in Ga. Highway 53. For more information, visit http://braselton. prlib.org/events-2/.

1999. It had also remained a working farm until Archie McDaniel’s death.

“The other side has got the farm house, and it’s got a barn, a blacksmith’s shop and the old, fake outhouse and fields, and so forth, so the focus over there is giving people a sense of a working farm from the 20s or 30s,” commission Chairwoman Charlotte Nash said.

“This is more, ‘Enjoy the natural beauty,’ although we do have, with the playground, a nod to the farm aspect.”

Some of the features in the expansion area, such as the dog park

Water Slide.” There will be food and beverage vendors, musical entertainment and other post-race activities to be announced.

LAWRENCEVILLE Jimmy Buffett tribute band coming to town The city of Lawrenceville will expose residents, and any other Parrothead for that matter, to a bit of what it’s like to be a pirate at any age, not just at 40.

The city is scheduled to host A1A: Jimmy Buffett Tribute Show from 8 to 10 p.m.

July 28 at the Lawrenceville Lawn as part of its Summer Concert Series.

The show will turn the lawn into Margaritaville, with the band performing Buffett’s hits, such as “Cheeseburger in Paradise,” “Fins,” “Changes in Latitudes Changes in Attitudes,”

and the playground are features that did not exist in the more historically focused first phase of the park.

Not all of Tuesday’s festivities were focused solely on the park’s new section, though. In addition to officially opening the expansion area, officials also unveiled a historical marker that will be erected outside the McDaniel farmhouse during the ceremony.

The park is located at 3020 McDaniel Road in Duluth, with the new entrance located on the section of the bisected road that ends at Duluth Highway, across from Cornerstone Church.

“A Pirate Looks at Forty” and, yes, “Margaritaville.”

VIP tables can be reserved while they last by calling 678226-2639. Sponsors Bud Light and McCray’s Tavern will be providing food and drinks.

Residents are asked to not bring pets, and no grills or open flames will be allowed on the lawn.

The lawn is located at the corner of South Clayton and Luckie streets.

PEACHTREE CORNERS New merge lane to Ga. 141 completed GDOT along with the City of Peachtree Corners have finished work on the southbound Peachtree Parkway merge lane onto the controlled access portion of Ga. Highway 141.

“As any of the thousands of commuters who regularly travel southbound on this busy artery during morning rush hour and all would agree — merging from two lanes to one has been a major headache,” according to a press release.

“Now, those days are over.”

Construction included improvements and new overhead signage.

The project has topped the city’s list of transportation improvements since its incorporation five years ago.

The $2.1-million project was funded mostly by GDOT and the county’s 2014 SPLOST program. The city paid for around 7 percent.

“We are glad to have the road work finished,” Mayor Mike Mason said. “It will no doubt be a big improvement for our citizens and others traveling through our city.”

Great memories of the Hudson Motor Company When John Upchurch asked me to speak at an International Car Conference that he and his wife were directing, I agreed. They’re nice people and it meant a July trip to Chattanooga. I thought it was a collection of vintage cars.

It wasn’t until I pulled into the big parking lot of the Chattanooga Choo-Choo and saw the cars that I got excited, my sense of history and personal connections kicking in. It was the annual event for those who collect Hudsons and they had all brought their cars. Oh. My. Goodness. The Hudson Motor Company is part of the foundation of my life, even though I was born years after the last one was produced.

“I didn’t realize it was exclusively for Hudsons,” I

— with drivers like Tim Flock and Herb Thomas, both future NASCAR Hall of Famers. Hudson was the first car company to make stock car racing an integral part of its marketing efforts so it was the first to have factory-backed teams.

Ronda By the way, it is said that Rich Thomas was the inspiration for Doc Hudson (voiced exclaimed. I marveled over by Paul Newman) in the the restored beauties and animated film, “Cars.” their owners, one an old Long before Chevrolet crew chief friend of mine and Ford got the marketing from NASCAR, was proud message, Hudson proved to show them off. the adage, “Win on Sunday, When I began working sell on Monday.” All car in NASCAR racing in the manufacturers have played mid-1980s, folks still talked a part in NASCAR but about the Hudson Hornet Hudson was the grandfather, with respect and awe. In the the innovator. The first who early 1950s, this super encame, saw, believed and gineered, slick car had ruled conquered. the sport — the Hudson I interviewed Tim Flock won 27 of 34 events in 1952 once when I was a young

reporter. I found him, of all places, parked with his RV in the front parking lot of Charlotte Motor Speedway.

He was mostly forgotten by then except for die-hard fans, but I knew he was a legend. We settled under a shade tree, and Flock, still very handsome in his mid-60s, talked about his Hudson Hornet like it was the love of his life, the one that got away. He also raced with a monkey, Jocko Flocko, who became the only winning monkey in stock car history when they won together at Hickory Speedway.

And if that isn’t enough of a connection, I owe a piece of my heart to the Hudson Motor Company, the piece that is embedded on Sea Island, Ga. Howard Coffin, an early car engi-

neer, put a new car company together in 1909 with the financial backing of the department store merchant, Joseph Hudson (now Target). Smartly, they decided to name the car after Hudson, reasoning that the fairly new-fangled invention would suffer sales if named the Coffin, after Howard.

By 30, Coffin was a millionaire. During the winter months, he and other automotive manufacturers went to sunny, warm Savannah to race and test cars. Coffin fell in love with South Georgia and purchased Sapelo Island. It became his muchbeloved home. Later, he and nephew Bill Jones bought Sea Island, built a causeway, and broke ground on the original, luxury Cloister hotel. When building costs ran way over budget, they

invited R.J. Reynolds Jr., a newly minted millionaire from his father’s estate, down to consider investing. Reynolds made a hard bargain — he’d only buy Sapelo, not invest in Sea Island. Coffin, heart-broken to lose Sapelo, took the deal, then built one of the most storied places in America.

While Hudson gave the first big boost to NASCAR, it was, ironically, the R.J. Reynolds company that would take hold of it in the 1970s as the series sponsor and launch it into its greatest fame.

Isn’t it funny how paths cross?

How to motivate, manage millennials In my leadership development seminars, I’m often asked how to motivate today’s young adult workers — the so-called “millennial” generation. Apparently, none of the old methods seem to work anymore.

I’ve noticed this myself.

For example, in the way the quality of the service at fast-food restaurants has deteriorated noticeably just in the last five years. As I write this, I’m sitting in a well-known national chain where, to order lunch, I had to explain to the young man behind the counter what a “regular cheeseburger” is.

There are, however, a few outliers — companies that hire lots of millennials yet have a well-earned reputation for good service.

Chick-fil-A and QuikTrip are two that come to mind.

Not coincidentally, those companies are among the fastest growing in their respective industries.

What sets such places apart? The first thing you notice when you walk in is that the employees don’t look miserable. They smile — a lot. They’re polite and friendly. The product is delivered quickly and is generally of good quality.

Imagine that.

So how do those companies do it? I think there are four keys.

Management sets the tone. At Chick-fil-A, managers smile and say “my pleasure” just as much as the workers. In fact, it’s kind of hard to tell them apart, except maybe by the color of their shirts and the fact that they’re a little older.

I’ve never once been in a fast-food place where the manager was up front working hard, smiling and interacting with customers, and the employees weren’t.

Generally, if the guy behind the counter is surly, then the managers are, too — either that, or else they’re in the back.

There’s no “I” in “team.” Something else places like CFA and QT get right: They’ve obviously persuaded employees

Rob Jenkins that they’re all on the same team, so that what one does reflects on everyone.

In other words, they’ve made rank-and-file workers feel like they’re part of something bigger than themselves. That’s a powerful motivator, as human beings are naturally wired to seek acceptance within a community.

Pay matters. We’re often told that money isn’t the only, or even the most, important factor in motivating people. That may well be true — but it doesn’t mean what you pay people doesn’t matter. Of course it does.

The best companies, I’ve observed, tend to pay their workers a little more than their competitors down the street. Not necessarily a lot more — maybe just an extra 50 cents or dollar an hour — but enough to make a difference.

Expectations matter, too. In return for higher pay, managers feel justified in holding their employees to a higher standard. And they’re not afraid to fire those who don’t measure up.

The message is: “I’ll pay you well, but I expect a lot in return.” Most people (even millennials) will take that deal — and those who refuse can be gradually weeded out, until only the best workers remain.
