CHEF ON WHEELS There probably won’t be too many Halloween costumes in Anthony Hicks Jr.’s Buford neighborhood that will be as elaborate as his this year.

While many kids might be dressed up as a “Star Wars” character, one of the Avengers or a zombie,

Anthony will be cooking something completely different. The 10-year-old, who is wheelchair-bound, will be a chef with all of the trimmings.

And in this case, all of the trimming means a full-on kitchen that Central Gwinnett High School students built to be attached to his wheelchair so the look can be complete.

“I am overwhelmed (and)

Candidates lay out their visions for BOC seat Both Tommy Hunter and Jasper Watkins III say there is still work to be done in Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners District III — the question voters must decide is who has the better plan to help the district.

Commissioner Hunter, the Republican incumbent, is facing a re-election challenge from Watkins, a Democrat, as he seeks a second term. The two come from very different backgrounds.

Hunter is a civil engineer who once worked for the county’s water department, and Watkins is a retired Army lieutenant colonel and nuclear pharmacist.

Both candidates think highly of GwinTommy nett and its resources, Hunter but they also have diverse ideas about how to approach the future in District III, which stretches in an arch around the eastern and southern edges of Gwinnett County, from around the Harbins area to Stone Mountain.

Jasper Watkins III “We’ve accomplished quite a bit, but there’s a lot of things still to come that are coming out of the ground now and starting to work through the process that I want to see done,” Hunter said. “It’s going to take some more time and some of them may not get done in the next four years.”

Watkins added, “I love it here, and I’m not leaving. It could be better, and that’s why I put my name on the ballot.

It’s good, but it could be better.”

Voters will decide which candidate will represent the district on the commission for the next four years in the Nov. 8 general election.

DULUTH — Young gymnasts watched in awe as members of the U.S. gymnastics teams continued to tumble into America’s hearts in their nationwide 2016 Kellogg’s Tour of Gymnastics Champions this weekend.

The tour featuring gymnasts from the 2012 Summer Olympics in London and the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro stopped at the Infinite Energy Arena on Saturday.

But as families and athletes and coaches from gyms across Georgia entered the venue, almost everyone said they most looked forward to seeing breakout gymnast Simone Biles.

“I’m excited to be with the girls and to be doing fun gymnastics,” Biles told the an NBC sports producer before the tour. “You don’t have the pressure or the stress; it’s just something fun to do,” Ariana Hernandez with Stick It Gymnastics in Stockbridge said she has been in the sport since she was 3 years old and hoped to one day walk in Biles’ footsteps. She and her teammate screamed when they found out they would be attending the show.

“When I grow up, I want to be just like Simone Biles,” said Ariana, whose favorite activity is doing back handsprings. “She’s a real champion and a good role model.

In August, the U.S. gymnastics teams won 10 medals in 10 events — four for the women and six for the men.

Buford special-needs toddler gets modeling gig

BY CURT YEOMANS

curt.yeomans @gwinnettdailypost.com

A literal little guy won this week.

Buford toddler Asher Nash, who made international news after a modeling agency didn’t submit his photo for an OshKosh B’Gosh publication because he has Down syndrome, will model for the clothing company’s parent company, Carter’s, after all as part of its upcoming holiday campaign.

The company made the decision after meeting with the 15-month-old’s family this week. The news, which was announced during ABC World New Tonight’s broadcast Friday night, is music to the ears of the toddler’s mom, Meagan Nash.

“It means everything,”

The Nash family, from left, includes Addison, 8, father David, Asher, 15 months, and mother Meagan. Asher, who has Down syndrome, has been at the center of national news lately in a bid to earn respect and inclusion for models who have special needs. (Special Photo) Buford youth Asher Nash makes a face in this photo from a set of images submitted by his family.

she told the Daily Post after We went into the meetthe broadcast. “It’s huge. ing originally just hoping

that they would at least hear us out and be will-

ing to change, but the fact that they are changing so quickly and that they’re using our son is everything.”

The national news broadcast named Asher and his mom as the programs “Persons of the Week” because of the little boy’s story and his mother’s efforts to raise awareness about the importance of treating models with special needs the same as any other model.

Nash is part of a fight led by groups such as Changing the Face of Beauty to get more models with disabilities used in advertisements.

Although World News Tonight is a national broadcast for the U.S., Asher’s story has gone viral around the world. His mother said people have been sending her links about her son’s story from news outlets in several European countries, from South America and even as far away as Indonesia.

That’s a good thing for the cause of raising awareness about people with special needs and to show why those people should be included in advertisements, she said.

“That’s exactly what

we wanted,” she said. “I wanted the world to see the issue at hand and now people know. People that had no idea that this was a problem at all are now aware of it.”

Nash said she and Asher will go to the shoot the week of Nov. 7, but that she hasn’t been told much more than that about what it will entail. She isn’t sure at this point whether it will be a catalog, a circular ad or in-store advertisements.

“We’re very happy and very excited,” she said.

“Originally, it was that we were going to come back for their spring and summer shoot, but then they contacted me and now he’s going to be going there in two weeks for the shoot for their holiday ad.”

Regardless of how Asher is used in the holiday campaign, his proud mom said his family plans to capture the moment in some form or fashion.

“I can promise you if it’s a catalog, or if it’s something up in the store, I can guarantee to you that we’re going to have several pictures or copies of it,” she said. “They will be framed and put up in our house.”

A group of Gwinnett County residents dedicated to environmental protection has extended an invitation to the community to see a documentary on rising sea levels and its affect on Nor-

folk, Va., this weekend.

The Greater Gwinnett Citizens Climate Lobby will host a free screening of the film, “Facing the Surge,” from 3 to 5 p.m. Sunday at the Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Gwinnett.

Filmmaker Diogo Castro Freire is expected to attend

the screening and answer questions about climate change during a panel discussion. “‘Facing the Surge’ is not a film about loss and inaction,” Greater Gwinnett Citizens Climate Lobby member Susan Clymer said in a statement. “It tells the stories

of citizens from across the United States as they step forward to raise awareness and push their government to pursue real solutions.”

The church is located at 12 Bethesda Church Road in Lawrenceville, and light refreshments are expected to be served.

The group calls itself “Educators for Isakson.”

“By listening to teachers, administrators and employers, along with students, Johnny Isakson has always worked to make sure our kids receive the best educa-

tion possible here in Georgia to ensure their long-term success,” Wilbanks said in a statement released by Isakson’s campaign.

“Johnny listens and then he acts. He does everything he can to help educators equip Georgia students for a bright future. I look forward to his continued leadership in Washington.”

Other local members of “Educators for Isakson” include state Rep. Brooks Coleman, R-Duluth, Georgia Gwinnett College adjunct professor Jose Perez and Georgia Department of Education Teacher Advisory Board member Donna Aker.

Isakson is facing Democratic candidate Jim Barksdale and Libertarian candidate Allen Buckley in

The Job Creators Network has been holding a series of similar town hall forums around Georgia, as well as the rest of the country, as a way to get small business owners and lawmakers talking to each other.

“Irrespective of politics, we all want a strong economy and good jobs in our community,” Woodall said in a statement. “Time and again, I’ve had small business owners throughout the Seventh District tell me that if only Washington had consulted them before writing a new rule to regulate their industry, they could’ve helped craft a long-term solution rather than a new problem.

“These men and women are experts in their field, and leveraging that expertise is what these conversations are about.”

Keith Roach

Audiologists are first to advise on hearing loss Dear Dr. roaCH: My husband retired from the police force three years ago at the young age of 56. At that time, he had no issues with his hearing. Throughout his career as a police officer, he always wore earmuffs when he practiced at the shooting range. He always wears earmuffs when he cuts the grass as well.

However, since his retirement, he has had a significant loss of hearing.

He spoke to his doctor, met with an audiologist and had a hearing test, which proved he does indeed have a loss of hearing. He now wears hearing aids. We both wondered why this hearing loss came about so suddenly at such an early age.

Coincidentally, for the past three years, my husband has called, and continues to call, his mother every night from his cellphone and talks (actually, she does all the talking) for roughly one hour. Could this have caused his hearing loss?

— L.L. anSWer: Although a 2010 study did show that people who talk on their mobile phone for an hour a day or more are more likely to have hearing loss, it is very difficult to be sure what the exposure was that may have caused his hearing loss.

In fact, it does not have to be loud noise exposure at all (although that is a very common cause).

Your husband’s audiologist has information about the type of hearing loss he has, which might help provide clues as to its cause, and would be his first source of advice. In the meantime, using a land line, the speaker on his mobile phone or a high-quality headset may be able to reduce further hearing loss.

Dear Dr. roaCH: I see lots of mention of organic produce and groceries.

Is there a medically proven health advantage to this class of food?

— N.M.G. anSWer: There have been several studies to examine this question, and there has been no convincing evidence that organic food has significant health benefits. The nutritional value is the same, or very nearly so. While pesticides were seen more frequently in the conventionally grown produce, they were present in both groups at extremely small amounts that would not be expected to cause a health concern. Both conventional and organic produce and meat can be contaminated with bacteria and should be cleaned and prepared carefully. Conventional chicken and pork have been shown to have higher rates of drug-resistant bacteria.

Personally, I buy organic foods when they appear to be of sufficiently better quality to justify the cost difference.

Dear Dr. roaCH: Can you tell me which bottled water we should drink — spring water or purified water? Your help is greatly appreciated.

— E.S. anSWer: I recommend tap water, which in the United States and Canada is almost always of excellent quality, very inexpensive and is the best choice for the environment.

Son wants to kick freeloading dad off couch Dear amy: My parents divorced when I was very young.

My brother and I were raised by our hardworking mom without any financial support from our dad.

We are now in our 20s, have gone to college and are working at successful careers. I am married.

Dad has always been a freeloader. He’s never had a steady job and relies on women to house and support him. His lifestyle includes drinking and drug addiction.

As adults we have tried to help him through the years, but without any success. Because we have been repeatedly taken advantage of, we have learned to accept him for who he is and not to expect anything from him.

Recently, my wife left the country to be with her family. She will be gone for three months. As soon as she left, my father asked if he could stay with me for a few days.

It’s now been several weeks of housing and feeding him and when I’ve asked him when he’s planning on leaving, he doesn’t answer.

I have a very small apartment. He sleeps on my couch. I know he has nowhere else to go. He’s burned all of his bridges with his side of the family.

I’m afraid he will be homeless if I kick him out.

The little money he has seems to be spent on prescription drugs. I am very

I vote for the simple truth when meeting new people: “My husband died five years ago. My stepdaughter drifted away after that. I’m still working out how to manage a relationship with her and our grandchildren.”

Is Obama preparing parting shot?

WASHINGTON — Last week, the U.N.’s premier cultural agency, UNESCO, approved a resolution viciously condemning Israel (referred to as “the Occupying Power”) for various alleged trespasses and violations of the Temple Mount in Jerusalem. Except that the resolution never uses that term for Judaism’s holiest shrine. It refers to and treats it as an exclusively Muslim site, a deliberate attempt to eradicate its connection — let alone its centrality — to the Jewish people and Jewish history.

This Orwellian absurdity is an insult not just to Judaism but to Christianity. It makes a mockery of the Gospels, which chronicle the story of a Galilean Jew whose life and ministry unfolded throughout the Holy Land, most espeCharles cially in Jerusalem Krauthammer and the Temple. If this is nothing but a Muslim site, what happens to the very foundation of Christianity, which occurred 600 years before Islam even came into being?

This UNESCO resolution is merely the surreal extreme of the worldwide campaign to delegitimize Israel. It features the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement, now growing on Western university campuses and some mainline Protestant churches. And it extends even into some precincts of the Democratic Party.

Bernie Sanders tried to introduce into the Democratic Party platform a plank more unfavorable to Israel. He failed, but when a couple of Clinton campaign consultants questioned (in emails revealed by WikiLeaks) why she should be mentioning Israel in her speeches, campaign manager Robby Mook concurred, “We shouldn’t have Israel at public events. Especially dem activists.”

For whom the very mention of Israel is toxic.

And what to make of the White House’s correction to a press release about last month’s funeral of Shimon Peres? The original release identified the location as “Mount Herzl, Jerusalem, Israel.”

The correction crossed out the country identifier — “Israel.”

Well, where else is Jerusalem? Sri Lanka?

Moreover, Mount Herzl isn’t even in disputed East Jerusalem. It’s in West Jerusalem, within the boundaries of pre-1967 Israel. If that’s not Israel, what is?

But such cowardly gestures are mere pinpricks compared to the damage Israel faces in the final days of the Obama presidency. As John Hannah of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies recently wrote (in Foreign Policy), there have been indications for months that President Obama might go to the U.N. and unveil his own final status parameters of a two-state solution.

These would then be enshrined in a new Security Council resolution that could officially recognize a Palestinian state on the territory Israel came into possession of during the 1967 Six-Day War. There is a reason such a move has been resisted by eight previous U.S. administrations: It overthrows the central premise of Middle East peacemaking — land for peace. Under which the Palestinians get their state after negotiations in which the parties agree on recognized boundaries, exchange mutual recognition and declare a permanent end to the conflict.

Land for peace would be replaced by land for nothing. Endorsing in advance a Palestinian state and what would essentially be a full Israeli withdrawal removes the Palestinian incentive to negotiate and strips Israel of territorial bargaining chips of the kind it used, for example, to achieve peace with Egypt.

The result would be not just perpetual war but incalculable damage to Israel. Consider but one example: the Jewish Quarter of Jerusalem, destroyed and ethnically cleansed of Jews by its Arab conquerors in the war of 1948-49. It was rebuilt by Israel after 1967. It would now be open to the absurd judicial charge that the Jewish state’s possession of the Jewish Quarter constitutes a criminal occupation of another country.

Israel would be hauled endlessly into courts both national and international to face sanctions, boycotts (now under color of law) and arrest of its leaders. All this for violating a U.N. mandate to which no Israeli government, left or right, could possibly accede.

Before the election, Obama dare not attempt this final legacy item, to go along with the Iran deal and the Castro conciliation, for fear of damaging Hillary Clinton. His last opportunity comes after Election Day. The one person who might deter him, points out Hannah, is Clinton herself, by committing Obama to do nothing before he leaves office that would tie her hands should she become president.

Clinton’s supporters who care about Israel and about peace need to urge her to do that now. It will soon be too late. Soon Obama will be free to deliver a devastating parting shot to Israel and to the prime minister he detests.

Wrong people are running education People ask me every day, “Do you wish you were still teaching school, especially during this election year?”

I usually just laugh. I retired from education three years ago because of illness and fatigue. My principal was sick and tired of me. I was a dinosaur by the time I finally left the profession — a 20th century man in a 21st-century-classroom. I had reached the point where the powers that be were much more interested in technology than the ability to think and more interested in test scores than actual learning.

Don’t hear something I’m not saying. I do not mean in my classroom or my building or my system. I was given great latitude to close my door and teach history and current events, right up to the last day, and I will always appreciate that. But changes were blowing down the pike as more and more politicians who knew nothing about education gained control over those that did. The local building administrators were losing more and more autonomy with every passing school term. In a nutshell, I could never have survived the current campaign — not even in the little Shangri-La that was room D-102 at Heritage High School.

“What do you mean by

that I could still teach.

But in most areas of the state, it is root hog or die.

Schools are having to scratch and claw and fight for each standard deviation on the scoring scale. These are the systems that have become slaves to ridiculous practices such as Darrell Huckaby focus walks and demanding teachers post enduring understandings and daily standards in their classrooms. These that? Why?” systems pay more attention to I’m glad you asked. I will such trivial measures than they try to explain, and as I do, you do to what is happening in the will see why it is so important classroom — by necessity. to defeat Amendment 1 on These administrators, from the Election Day. top down, fear for their jobs.

Overall the philosophy of If the state gains more control, education has changed in the these practices will grow public schools. The philosoworse. phy of the individual adminMy philosophy of education istrators and teachers has not is pretty simple. It is the job necessarily changed, but the of the teacher to find a way culture of public education to make the student cherish has changed, and individuals learning. Once a student finds must succumb to the culture out that it is fun or advantaor find themselves unemgeous to learn, they never stop ployed. It’s really as simple learning. My philosophy is not as that. Now, understand to teach students facts — they this. The No. 1 driver of the all have cellphones with every culture is test scores. In some fact in the world at their displaces, where the socioecoposal in 30 seconds. I believe nomic status of the majority that we should teach students of the students ensures that to think and to analyze. I told test scores will remain high, my students not to believe the schools still have a lot of anything I said. I taught them autonomy. You can do whatto doubt the things I said and ever you want to do if you are to seek out information to already getting the results that secure their own opinions are demanded.

— information to back up or In short, there are places disprove what I told them.

“If you believe everything your teacher says, and if you don’t seek outside information, that teacher holds way too much power over you.”

I also wanted my students to look at all sides of every issue. We looked at controversial topics in my classroom, and everyone always had the right to express his opinion without being censured or ridiculed or criticized, as long as he could present facts to back up his opinion. And I always maintained the right to present mine.

That kind of teaching just doesn’t go very far in today’s politically correct climate. Parents don’t want their children exposed to the truth, and heaven knows they don’t want them to look at different sides of an issue. We don’t teach individuals anymore in the public schools. We teach information. We have it bassackwards, but things are not likely to change any time soon, because we have politicians and bureaucrats and hired hands in charge of education instead of educators.

It’s sad but true. So no, I don’t wish I were in the classroom this election cycle, not in the current climate.

But turn back the clock 10 or 12 years when a teacher could teach and students could think, and we would be having some fun in D-102.

Passage of Amendment 1 not ensured In Georgia, it is a political fact of life that whatever the governor wants — no matter who occupies the seat — the governor usually gets. That is because the office controls a lot of money and patronage and can dispense or withhold either, depending on whether you support or oppose the governor.

Gov. Nathan Deal wants passage of Amendment 1, which will create Opportunity School Districts. Approval of the amendment by voters on Nov. 8 would allow the state to take over control of local schools deemed to be perennially failing. The amendment has become a test of wills between the governor and the education community, and as of this writing, passage is no sure thing.

With the Opportunity School Districts in place, the governor would have the power to appoint a superintendent separate from the state school superintendent, who is elected by voters. The OSD superintendent could waive Georgia Board of Education rules, reorganize or fire staff and change school budgets and curriculum. The state also could convert OSD schools to nonprofit or forprofit charter schools or close them under certain conditions.

Groups like the Georgia PTA consider the measure draconian and are in total opposition. The organization voted 633-0 at its summer convention to oppose Amendment 1. That is no small thing. The group claims some 250,000 members

Dick Yarbrough and is a force to be reckoned with.

The president of the Georgia PTA, Lisa-Marie Haygood, told me, “The issue isn’t failing schools; it is failing to fix the problems around them such as poverty, child abuse and hunger.” Haygood says every school on the governor’s list of potentially failing schools has over 80 percent of its students living in poverty, and Amendment 1 does nothing to change that. She says the Opportunity School District is nothing more than a “power grab” and a big step toward privatizing public education.

The Committee to Keep Georgia Schools Local, a coalition of parents, teachers and organizations, including the Southern Education Foundation, the Georgia Association of Educators, the Georgia AFLCIO and the Concerned Black Clergy of Atlanta, is fighting the amendment vigorously.

“We are united in our opposition to a statewide political appointee put in by politicians bought with campaign contributions from for-profit, out-of-state corporations,” said

Michelle Davis, the organization’s public relations manager.

Speaking against Amendment 1 last week were former U.N. Ambassador Andrew Young and baseball Hall of Famer Hank Aaron.

The Professional Association of Georgia Educators, the state’s largest education association with more than 90,000 members, says Amendment 1 is reinventing the wheel. PAGE executive director Dr. Allene Magill tells members the state Department of Education already possesses the power to force change on underperforming schools. “If the state already has a lever to effect change in these schools from a constitutionally empowered agency with an elected leader (the Georgia Department of Education), why does another branch of government seek to override it?” she asked. “Why would a governor want to wrest control from local boards of education and communities? It’s a motivation as old as mankind: power, control and money.”

Proponents of Amendment 1 accuse national teacher unions of fueling the opposition. Indeed, the National Education Association, through its local affiliate, the Georgia Association of Educators, has played a major role in funding television advertising against passage of the amendment.

But the opposition goes deeper than that. More than 36 school boards across the state have passed resolutions opposing

OSD, almost all of which would not be affected by passage of the amendment.

I don’t like the fact that proamendment advocates such as Georgia Leads are shielded by law from disclosing who makes up their supporters. If Opportunity School Districts are such a great thing, why not come out and say who you are? Why the secrecy? The Atlanta Journal-Constitution has done a good job of ferreting out some of the advocates, including my alma mater, AT&T and the Atlanta Chamber of Commerce as well as The Home Depot co-founder Bernie Marcus. Also, Students First, a deep-pocketed California-based lobbying group that recently merged with Washington-based 50Can, is pushing hard for passage.

(And proponents want to talk about “outside influence”?)

My problem isn’t with the concept of focusing on failing schools but in not addressing the issues outside the school that contribute to the problem.

Will Amendment 1 do that? Or is it just the first step in privatizing public education and letting for-profit management companies get their noses under the education tent?

Stay tuned. This fight is far from over.

Man fatally shot at Braselton gas station erika.wells @gwinnettdailypost.com

Braselton police are looking for a woman who was with a man who was fatally shot in the chest at a gas station off Ga. Highway 124 at about 1 a.m.

Saturday.

James Harold Walls, 56, of Flowery Branch died at the scene after a suspect followed Walls and the woman to a Circle K, Assistant Police Chief Lou Solis said.

The woman had previ-

ous ridden with the man to a nearby Waffle House parking lot, where they encountered the suspect in a car for about a minute, Solis said. Police said they are unsure what happened when the three were there.

Walls backed out and went to get gas for his truck a short distance away at 983 Ga. Highway 124, while the woman went into the store to pay cash, according to police.

The suspect pulled up, got out and went to the back of Walls’ truck for a few seconds, police said.

Here are 10 tips on how to effectively communicate with someone with dementia.

1. Recognize what you’re up against. Dementia inevitably gets worse with time. People with dementia will gradually have a more difficult time understanding others, as well as communicating in general.

2. Avoid distractions. Try to find a place and time to talk when there aren’t a lot of distractions present. This allows your loved one to focus all their mental energy on the conservation.

3. Speak clearly and naturally in a warm and calm voice. Refrain from ‘baby talk’ or any other kind of condescension.

4. Talk about one thing at a time. Someone with dementia may not be able to engage in the mental juggling involved in maintaining a conversation with multiple threads.

5. Refer to people by their names. Avoid pronouns like ‘he’, ‘she’, and ‘they’ during the conversation. Names are also important when greeting them. Example: “It’s me, Jeff.” Instead of “Hi, It’s me.”

6. Use nonverbal cues. Maintain eye contact and smile,. This helps put your loved one at ease and will facilitate understanding. When dementia is advanced, nonverbal communication may be the only option you have.

7. Listen actively. If you don’t understand something they are telling you, politely let them know.

8. Don’t quibble. Avoid correctly every inaccurate statement your loved one makes. It’s okay to let delusions and misstatements go. You don’t want to deal with memories that involve harsh words and arguing over things that don’t matter.

9. Have patience. Give your loved one extra time to process what you say. Don’t let frustration and impatience get the better of you.

10. Understand that there will be good days and bad days. While the general trend of dementia sufferers is a downward decline, they have ups and downs like everyone else.

Four Gwinnettians named to Islamic 40 Under 40

By Curt yeomans curt.yeomans @gwinnettdailypost.com

Four members of Gwinnett County’s Muslim community have been singled out and highlighted for their work in the health care, legal and community empowerment fields.

The Islamic Speakers Bureau of Atlanta recognized Lawrenceville resident Dr. Musheer Ahmed, Snellville resident Dr. Hammad Aslam, Norcross attorney M. Khurram Baig and Suwanee resident Aishsa Yaqoob during the group’s 40 Under Forty Georgia Muslims Gala earlier this month.

“The 40 Under Forty initiative provides amazing narratives about the contribution and leadership of American Muslims not only in Georgia but across America,” Islamic Speakers Bureau of Atlanta founder and Executive Director Soumaya Khalifa said in

Hammad Aslam

a statement.

“These narratives are regrettably absent from the national conversation, and we want to bring them where they should be — front and center.”

Ahmed and Aslam were recognized in the health care category.

At least 21 dead as Syria counters rebel offensive

At least 21 people have been killed since Friday in tit-for-tat clashes between Syrian regime forces and rebels in the besieged city of Aleppo, the UK-based monitoring group Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported.

The rights group said army forces, backed by Hezbollah militants and seeking to put down a new rebel offensive, on Saturday retook pockets of neighborhoods where rebel fighters a day earlier unleashed a series of deadly car bombings and mortar assaults.

The rebel offensive was repelled in part by renewed Russian and Syrian airstrikes targeting parts of west, south and southwest Aleppo, SOHR reported.

Opposition social media on Friday showed video of rebel tanks, armored personnel carriers, Grad rockets and artillery firing from the southwest of the city.

A day after Comey made the stunning announcement that the FBI is examining newly unveiled emails that appear to be “pertinent” to the now-closed investigation into Clinton’s private server, top campaign officials unleashed a blistering attack on the FBI director, accusing him of being irresponsibly “light on facts” and “heavy on innuendo.”

On a conference call with reporters Saturday, Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta accused Comey of failing to be “forthcoming with the facts.” Podesta blasted both the timing and contents of the letter Comey sent to congressional leaders on Friday, summing the director’s actions as “providing selective information.”

Campaign manager Robby Mook echoed Podesta’s call for more information from Comey and suggested that the FBI has now waded into political territory.

“The Justice Department’s longstanding practice is: Don’t do anything seen as trying to influence an election,” Mook said.

First U.S. soda tax cuts consumption beyond expectations

By Ronnie Cohen Reuters

As voters consider soda taxes in four U.S. cities, a new study finds that low-income Berkeley neighborhoods slashed sugarsweetened beverage consumption by more than one-fifth after the Northern California city enacted the nation’s first soda tax.

Berkeley voters in 2014 levied a penny-per-ounce tax

Must read on soda and other sugary drinks to try to curb consumption and stem the rising tide of diabetes and obesity. After the tax took effect in March 2015, residents of two low-income neighborhoods reported drinking 21 percent less of all sugar-sweetened beverages and 26 percent less soda than they had the year before, according to the report

in the October American Journal of Public Health.

“From a public health perspective, that is a huge impact.

That is an intervention that’s more powerful than anything I’ve ever seen aimed at changing someone’s dietary behavior,” senior author Dr. Kristine Madsen said in a telephone interview.

Madsen, a professor of public health at the University of California at Berkeley, said the drop in sugary drink consump-

tion surpassed her expectations, though it was consistent with consumption declines in low-income neighborhoods in Mexico after it imposed a nationwide tax on sugar-sweetened beverages.

The Berkeley results also pleasantly surprised Marion Nestle, a professor of nutrition, food studies and public health at New York University.

“I hadn’t expected the effects to be so dramatic,” she said in

an email. “This is substantial evidence that soda taxes work.”

The soda industry has spent millions of dollars defeating taxes on sugary drinks in dozens of U.S. cities. But the tax passed easily — with 76 percent of the vote — in Berkeley. In addition to soda, the measure covers sweetened fruit-flavored drinks, energy drinks like Red Bull and caffeinated drinks like Frappuccino iced coffee. Diet beverages are exempt.

•From Page 1A The high school students built the kitchen for Anthony, who has cerebral palsy, as part of a nationwide program called Magic Wheelchair, and it was unveiled at the school’s trick-or-treating event Thursday night.

The Oakland Meadow School student’s family plans to take him around the neighborhood in it for the usual trickor-treating, likely on Sunday night, according to his mom.

It should be a surprise for the neighbors, though.

“They have no idea (about the costume),” Anthony’s mother said.

In many ways, Anthony’s costume is a case of the son becoming the father because his father, Anthony Hicks Sr., is a chef with his own homebased catering service.

In fact, it’s the fact that his father is a chef that inspired the costume.

The kitchen costume features an oven with a range stove in the middle, a prep station to Anthony’s left and a flat-top grill to his right. Eyeballs and fingers are in a pan on the stove, a severed hand and brains are at the prep station and pans, utensils, a fish and a rubber chicken hang along a wall that arches over his head. A lighted sign over the top says “Chef Anthony’s Kitchen,” and the back of the wall on the costume has paper skeletons done in the Mexican Day of the Dead style.

Costume about six weeks to design and build the costume.

“I took a lot of hints from what (Anthony’s parents) described, even though it wasn’t very much,” Bunch said. “I was sitting across from them, and his father said, ‘I want him to be a chef.’

I was like, ‘OK, in your mind, what do you see for that,’ and he said ‘Well, I thinking a prep station, a range and a flat-top grill.’

I took that very literally, so I made sure I met their expectations.

“Everything else was picking and pulling from making the students think about design and having them draw up their own ideas for what they thought a wheelchair kitchen costume should be.”

This is the second year Central Gwinnett has participated in the Magic Wheelchair program.

Central Gwinnett Fine Arts Academy Coordinator Megan Rose-Houchins said it offers the students a chance to learn about problem solving, in this the problem being, “We want to make a costume to fit on a wheelchair, so how would we do that?”

She said the students took the problem put before them and ran with it.

“Every time I was in here, I saw a dozen students all very focused,” Rose-Houchins said. “We wanted to do this because we felt it was a very anthony Hicks sr., pushes his son, anthony Jr., around the track area at Central Gwinnett High school during a trick-or-treat event Thursday night. students at the school worthwhile cause.”

He said it took hours over a period of from the high school

cheered wildly for him and rushed to put candy in the various pots and pans on the costume.

Other children who were there to trick-or-treat stared and marveled at the costume as he passed by.

“I like your costume, Anthony,” one child shouted out from the crowd.

His mother said that support means a lot to the family, which wants Anthony to be seen and treated like any other kid.

“For them to accept him and be excited about his costume, and not stare or point or making derogatory comments, but just embrace him is huge,” she said. “That’s the biggest part about raising a child with special needs. It’s the acceptance and not feeling like the oddball and not feeling out of place, but just feeling typical like every other child.”

Perhaps noone was prouder to see Anthony in the costume than his father. He came up with the idea, based on his own profession, and the fact that Anthony enjoys cooking and food.

But even with a rough idea of what he thought his son should be for Halloween, the elder Hicks said even he was surprised by what the teachers and students cooked up.

“I definitely did not (expect what was built),” he said. “Before we walked in, you know you have your expectations for what you think it’s going to look like, but it was like that plus 100. It was mind blowing and amazing.”

District III •From Page 1A county’s water department, Hunter has also served on Gwinnett’s Planning Commission and the Sewage and Water Authority. He said he should be re-elected to finish efforts that he said began in his first term to improve the district, and wants to work on issues such as job creation in the district.

He pointed toward developments such as various SPLOST projects and the county’s efforts to acquire the old Olympic Tennis Center near Stone Mountain as signs that the district is beginning to turn a corner. The county wants to acquire the tennis center property so the land can be redeveloped by private developers.

He explained new commissioners have to get their colleagues on the board to understand their vision — and to learn the visions of other commissioners — before they can dive into the process of working toward their goals for their district.

“To be able to get them moving down the road and going toward implementation or completion, I want to be able to see that done,” Hunter said. “I’ve got a lot of time invested in it, a lot of sleepless nights invested in it and I just want to see those things accomplished.

•From Page 1A

“The continuity of what’s here (in the commission’s office) is going to help toward getting those things done, so that’s why I decided trying to do one more term was important.”

Watkins, on the other hand, comes into the race with a much different background. During his time in the Army, he worked in the medical field and helped with medical treatment and response efforts at Walter Reed Medical Center and the Pentagon after 9/11 and assisted in pharmaceutical resupplying efforts in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina.

He has worked in the pharmaceutical industry, specializing in nuclear pharmaceutical work, since he retired from the Army after 25 years of service.

Watkins, who counts retired Gen. Colin Powell as his leadership mentor, said he felt there are a host of areas the county needs to address in the community. Those areas range from transit options and better pay for county employees to public safety and maintaining a strong tax base through efforts, such as allowing higher end town homes and condos instead of apartments.

He also pointed to other issues, such as human trafficking and opioid

Meanwhile, Hunter said the county needs to continue focusing on walkable communities which are denser and keep residential, commercial and office spaces in close proximity though. He wants to focus on expanding the trail network in Gwinnett, while also making sure the water resources can handle the population growth.

He explained denser developments put more people in smaller areas, particularly aging commercial areas, to build up the customer base for businesses. The commissioner added it also helps with demand for infrastructure.

“That’s why we’re working toward these character areas and redevelopment areas to develop multiple housing options which lessen the demand on services (and) lessen the demand on infrastructure,” he said.

“If you take 100 feet of sewer and you’ve got 10 families who are going to move out here, they can move out here to Harbins and live on 100 feet sewer on 10 lots.

“Or those same 10 families may live around Gwinnett Place Mall in some multifamily residential and you’ve got 10 people on 50 feet of sewer.”

obituaries BUFORD

William Allen “Bill” Anglin Jr. May 28, 1933 – October 24, 2016 William “Bill” Anglin, 83, of Buford went home to be with our Lord on October 24, 2016 following an extended illness. He was born in Buford, GA, the son of William Allen, Sr. and Bessie Jordan Anglin. Growing up in the local community, he lived in a racially mixed neighborhood in which black people outnumbered the whites. He would jokingly say that he didn’t know he was white until he was much older.

Before he graduated from Buford High School in 1951, you would’ve seen young Bill riding a bicycle around Buford dropping off prescription medicines for Chief Garner, owner of Garner’s Drug Store.

Chief Garner mentored him through college where Bill graduated summa cum laude as valedictorian of his class from Southern College of Georgia’s School of Pharmacy. After purchasing the pharmacy from Chief Garner’s widow, Florence, he changed the name to Anglin’s Drug Store. It was the only place that he would ever work in his 70+ year career. He became a pioneer of downtown Buford and an example of how many lives can be changed when one human being takes an interest in others.

During his pharmacy apprenticeship, 14-year-old Bill noticed a 12-year-old girl working at the dime store across the street. She would later become his wife Iris. “It was immediate,” he said. “She was the only girl I ever dated. It was providence,” he said.

They were married for 60 years, and God blessed them with two sons.

Bill’s faith in God was important from an early age as a member of Buford First United Methodist Church. Later in life, he and Iris joined New Bethany Baptist Church, the home church of her mother’s family.

Bill was a loving son, husband, and father.

Surviving family members include his son, Randy Anglin of Buford GA; son and daughter-in-law, Jeff and Sandra Anglin of Lawrenceville GA; brother and sister-in-law, Ed and Bobbie June Hubbard of Cumming GA; and sisterin-law, Mary Ellen Anglin of Buford, GA. He was preceded in death by his father and mother, William Allen, Sr. and Bessie Jordan Anglin; wife, Iris Hosch Anglin; and generations of family and friends to greet him in heaven.

Special thanks to the staff of Caring Hands Personal Care Home, including the family of Asmira Becic; caregivers Charlene Perry, Vickie Brannon, Patsy Samples, and Krissy Kimbarl.

Gene loved his Yellow Jackets, but he treasured his family even more, who were at his side when he passed away.

A native of Clarkston, GA, Gene was born in 1932. He was son of the late Hence C. and Margaret Rice Barineau.

Known as “Bubba” by family and childhood friends, Gene was a 1950 graduate of Clarkston High School. He was a proud participant in Georgia Tech’s co-op program with Georgia Power Company, graduating in 1957 with a degree in Electrical Engineering. Gene went on to spend his entire 42-year career at Georgia Power, where he moved through the ranks to become vice president of the Macon Division before coming back to the Atlanta corporate headquarters as vice president of labor relations. He retired from the company in 1994.

Among his many accomplishments, Gene served as chairman of public affairs for the Greater Macon Chamber of Commerce and also served on the boards of Citizens & Southern Bank and the Macon Opera House. A member of First United Methodist Church of Lawrenceville, Gene was also a longtime member of Civitan International, volunteered with the Salvation Army and served on the finance committees of the churches he and his family attended.

Tractor-trailer, woodland fires shut down I-85 south near Buford FROM STAFF REPORTS Interstate 85 south, two miles north of Hamilton Mill Road, was closed several hours after a tractor-trailer caught on fire near Buford on Saturday.

The flames quickly

spread to a median and wooded area, eventually burning through about 110 acres, Gwinnett fire spokesman Deputy Chief Charles Wells said.

The fire had taken over the trailer portion carrying eight cars when firefight-

ers responded at 2:21 p.m., Wells said.

Dry conditions contributed to the magnitude of the blaze, according to fire officials. A total of 37 firefighters put in work to control the fire by 5:21 p.m.

One southbound lane of I-85 had reopened at about 7:48 p.m, police said.

No homes or businesses were damaged, but residents in a nearby subdivision were asked to remain in their homes due to the heavy smoke throughout the area.

Police said motorists and homeowners in the area should expect to see and smell smoke, but firefighters planned to stay on the scene to monitor hot spots.

Multiple agencies where on the scene including the Georgia Department of Transportation, Wells said.

Gwinnett police officers directed traffic and the police aviation unit moni-

The Georgia Forestry Commission helped contain the fire by air and on the grounds. The

commission has recently implemented a temporary suspension on all outdoor burning because of the drought in its five-county district that includes Gwinnett County.

Also, Gwinnett fire officials are reminding residents to use caution this Halloween weekend and avoid any outdoor burning.

‘Long time coming’

North downs Mill Creek 6-2 for its first softball title

By David Friedlander david.friedlander@ gwinnettdailypost.com

COLUMBUS — Perhaps nobody could have summed up the Class AAAAAAA state softball championship game better than North Gwinnett coach Randy Black.

“It’s been long time coming,” Black said after his Bulldogs ended a long drought by claiming the program’s first fastpitch state championship — and first softball title of any kind in 27 years — with a 6-2 win over Region 6-AAAAAAA rival Mill Creek on Saturday at the South Commons Softball

Complex.

Coupled with a 3-0 win over Lassiter in the winner’s bracket final earlier in the day, the win over Mill Creek (27-8) gave North (28-7) its first softball

“I had to go out with a bang,” said senior rightfielder Haley Griffith, who drove in two runs in each of the Bulldogs’ games Saturday and made perhaps the most important defensive play of the day with her diving catch in the fourth inning of the title game against Mill Creek. “We’re all here for Coach Black and our school in general.

We’ve had so much support from (the students, faculty and administration) the past championship since the couple of days, and we just second of back-to-back wanted to bring it home for slowpitch titles in 1989, them.” thanks the pitching of The Bulldogs had to Chandler Dennis, plus some bring it home against Mill timely hitting and defense Creek starter Skylar Haythroughout the lineup. ward, who had thrown 13

shutout innings, giving up just two hits in the process, to lead the Hawks through the elimination bracket with wins over East Coweta (1-0 in eight innings) and Lassiter (8-0) earlier in the day.

After the Ohio Statebound senior had pitched around a first-inning error and recorded the first five outs without major incident, Bailey Martin and Lauren Reed connected for backto-back two-out doubles in the top of the second to put North in front 1-0.

The Bulldogs then added to that lead in each of the next two innings by taking advantage of Georgia’s recent dry, hot weather.

First, Erin Wilbur sent a

high chopper to the left side that hit off the hardened infield dirt and bounced high over the head of Mill Creek third baseman Wynter Webb for a single that drove home Haley Short to pad the North lead at 2-0 in the top of the third.

An inning later, Reed sent a nearly identical chopper over Webb’s head for another RBI single that pushed the lead to 3-0.

“We were working on putting the ball down,” Black said. “We wanted to get it on the ground because (Mill Creek) can catch pop ups. They make good plays on the ground, too, but the

Walk-off win gives Buford Buford volleyball repeats 10th straight softball title

COLUMBUS — Having played Walnut Grove five times already this season — including once already in the Class AAAAA State Softball Tournament — Buford knew exactly what it was going to get from the Warriors and star pitcher Kayla Poynter in the championship game.

Sure enough, runs were hard to come by off the Texas A&M commit, just as they were against Buford’s own ace Logan Caymol.

Still, the Wolves were able to get their Tennesseecommitted junior just enough support, as Katie Perkins steered a single up the middle to bring home Gabby Benson for a 2-1 walk-off win Saturday at the South Commons Softball Complex.

Combined with a 5-0 win over Harris County earlier in the day, Buford (32-2) captured its 10th

straight state title in the fourth different classification.

“I thought we played exceptionally well all weekend,” said coach Tony Wolfe, who was in his first season as head coach when the Wolves began their decade of domination.

“This is probably the best defensive team we’ve ever brought down here. This may be the best pitching

staff overall. … We’re a pitching a defense team that tries to take advantage of a few opportunities.

We’re not the best offensive team, but we’re timely.

The kids come up with timely hits.”

The Wolves needed to be because Poynter had held them to just one run through the first six innings See DYNASTY, Page 4B

MARIETTA — Winning back-to-back state championships is not easy. The Buford girls volleyball team added a degree of difficulty to their quest this year because they moved up a classification. The Wolves completed their task on Saturday with a 25-11, 25-11, 23-25 and 25-12 win over McIntosh to claim the Class AAAAA state championship.

“This is pretty spectacular,” Buford coach Hadli Daniels said. “We went out there and played very solid. In that last set, we were the most focused I have seen this team be all season.”

The Wolves (41-4) opened quickly and jumped out to a 5-1 lead.

McIntosh was able to stay even with Buford and trailed 7-4 when the Wolves’ Morgan Mitchell sent a set over the net, instead of passing it to one of her players for the kill.

The deft touch found the open floor for an 8-4 lead.

Kills by Halston Hillier and Avery Cason as well as a block by Hillier helped Buford to a 16-8 advantage, The Wolves closed out the first set 25-11 when Tatum Shipes

and Cason combined for a block and the final point of the set.

Buford also took the second set by an identical See REPEAT, Page 4B

From Staff Reports DACULA — Unlike its 2016 football season, there was no slow start for Dacula on Friday.

The Falcons scored twice in the first quarter, dominated throughout with a stifling defense and won the Region 8-AAAAAA championship with a 20-0 victory over visiting Lanier in a matchup of region unbeatens. Dacula’s run to the title completed a turnaround from a 1-4 start, securing the No. 1 seed and home-field advantage for the state playoffs regardless of next week’s result vs.

Winder-Barrow.

Lanier (6-3, 3-1) will face Gainesville on Friday, with the winner earning the region’s No. 2 seed.

“I’m just so proud of our kids,” Dacula head coach Tommy Jones said. “Four weeks ago, we were sitting at 1-4 and our backs were against the wall. They just kept coming to work every single day. They believed.

They maintained hope. Now they’re tasting a little bit of fruits of their labor.”

The Longhorns struggled mightily most of the night against the Dacula defense, gaining just 32 rushing yards on 21 attempts. And 14 of those yards came on their final play, which ended in a lost fumble in the waning seconds.

The passing game didn’t get going, either. Lanier quarterback Noah Fritz was 8 of 26 for 67 yards, including 1-for-13 for minus-3 yards in the second half. He missed on his last 11 passes as his team was forced to be one-dimensional.

Dacula rules region cross country meet From Staff Reports AUBURN — Dacula dominated the Region 8-AAAAAA Cross Country Championships on Saturday, sweeping the varsity and junior varsity races in both the boys and girls divisions at Bramlett Elementary.

The Dacula girls won the program’s first-ever region championship with 25 points, led by Skylar English’s individual region title. English’s winning time was 18 minutes, 43.37, easily ahead of runner-up Micah Weathers of Winder-Barrow (19:11.16).

Dacula’s Kenedi Rodney (19:48.68) was third, while Dacula also put four more runners in the top 10: Emilee Butrum (sixth, 21:40.52), Najiyah King (seventh, 21:44.47), Kaitlyn Portillo (eighth, 22:03.12) and Madelyn McVannan (ninth, 22:08.41). The Falcons’ Karly Rookis was 15th (22:38.18).

•From Page 1B after being nearly as strong during a 2-0 Buford win when the two teams met in the second round on Friday.

Fortunately, Caymol was just as strong, allowing just one run herself on the afternoon. In fact, the junior right-hander gave up just two runs over 27 innings for the tournament, including a complete-game, one-hit shutout with 10 strikeouts against Harris County.

“This was our sixth time playing (Walnut Grove), so every single game we play against them is the most intense kind of game,” Caymol said. “It’s the kind of game that we work hard for. We’ve worked so hard this season.”

That hard work continued into the bottom of the seventh of a 1-1 game, which Benson got off to a good start with a lead-off single.

Then after Shea Bayreuther sacrificed Benson over to second, Perkins came up knowing she needed to put the ball in play at the very least to try to make something happen.

And the sophomore first baseman did just that, sending a Poynter offering up the middle and off the glove of a Walnut Grove infield that trickled into center field, allowing Benson to speed home with the

Dacula’s girls had 25 points to Winder-Barrow’s 53. Lanier was third at 67.

Lanier’s Zoie Gardner placed fifth in 20:51.20 and teammate Shelby Goeden was 10th in 22:08.61.

The Dacula boys had 30 points to win the region championship over secondplace Gainesville’s 46.

Lanier was fourth at 104.

Alex Medley (16:56.34) and Yahya Abdulkadir (17:06.75) led Dacula in second and third, respectively. Michael Rowe (sixth, 17:16.71), Brian Connelly (ninth, 17:28.94), Jackson DeLoach (10th, 17:39.55), Hayden Baker (12th, 17:45.98) and Eddy Lopez (14th, 17:57.14) also finished in the top 15 for the Falcons.

Lanier’s boys were led by Nathaniel Larrazebel’s 11th-place finish (17:45.81).

Dacula won the JV boys behind individual champion Gavin Lane and was first in JV girls behind first-place finisher Kylie McVannan.

•From Page 1B ground was hard enough from Mother Nature. …

It’s tough to play on concrete.”

Though the grass portion of the field was a little softer, Griffith had to test just how soft it was to make what proved to be the play of the game in the bottom of the fourth.

Hannah Adams drew a lead-off walk, advanced to second on Maddison Kopeke’s single and scored on a throwing error following Meghan Cassidy’s sacrifice bunt to pull Mill Creek to within 3-1.

One out later, with the bases loaded, Webb sent a hard-hit line sinking line drive to right that looked like it would fall in to at least tie the game, and perhaps clear the bases.

But Short sprinted in after playing deep in right and dove, and then managed to hold on for the second out of the inning before quickly getting to her feet and getting the ball back to the infield to keep Cassidy from tagging up and scoring.

“I honestly though (Cas-

winning run.

“I just took it up the middle,” Perkins said. “I know with all the hard work we had been doing in practice, I knew I was ready for (the moment). It prepared us well.”

The Wolves got to the championship game by waiting out Harris County after being scoreless through most of the winners’ bracket finals, and then breaking the game open with two runs in the sixth.

Hannah Hyatt led an offensive output that complemented Caymol’s pitching by going 2-for-4 with an RBI, while Arielle Oda also went 2-for-4, Perkins finished 2-for-3 with a triple and Kelsey Bennett blasted a two-run home run.

Wesleyan’s long day ends with disappointing loss After dropping a tough 5-3 decision to First Presbyterian Day in the Class A (Private) winners’ bracket final, Wesleyan battled back to beat Tattnall Square 5-0 and then beat FPD in a rematch 3-2 to force a winner-takeall game for the championship.

But as in the first game with FPD, the Vikings struck in the seventh inning, this time for three runs, including Amanda Evans’ two-run single to score another 5-3 win.

It was a difficult ending to a day in which the Wolves (29-6) battled through nearly 10 hours of softball, only to finish as state runner-up.

Embiid continued his torrid play with a blocked shot against Howard with 7:39 remaining before halftime. After the block, the fans chanted “Trust The Process!” and roared in appreciation.

Philadelphia struggled from the field (15 for 43), as Robert Covington and Gerald Henderson combined to miss all eight shots in the first half.

Korver knocked down a 3-pointer with 3:57 left, pushing the Hawks’ lead to 44-32.

Korver led all scorers at halftime with 15 points.

Despite a 53-39 lead by the Hawks, Howard was held scoreless (0 for 3), although he swept six rebounds.

Atlanta led by as many as 16 points and took advantage of Embiid’s three fouls and 6:38 of playing time. The rookie center is expected to play no more than 20 minutes per game while finally recovering from two foot surgeries and two missed seasons.

sidy) was going to tag up because she’s a very fast runner,” Griffith said. “I made sure to get up as fast as I could. I just knew it was bases loaded, and I needed to be 100 percent focused on this play because I knew how important it would be.

“Mostly, I thought about Chandler Dennis because she’s such a stud pitcher.

I was just making sure I backed her up because she deserved that so much.”

Mill Creek did get to Dennis (19-5) for an-

short jumper and a dunk, to open the third quarter.

Howard’s only basket came with 10:09 remaining in the third on an alleyoop dunk for a 59-41 lead.

“Everybody is defending,” Budenholzer said.

“Offensively, different guys are stepping up and playing unselfishly. Our bench and our depth is something that helps us. It was good to see our guys have that focus.”

The Sixers got to within 66-56 when Jerami Grant dribbled into the lane and threw down a vicious onehand dunk.

But Atlanta extended its advantage to 74-58 by the end of the third.

The Sixers came out red hot, surging to an 8-0 lead.

Embiid hit a 3-pointer and added a layup in the first 46 seconds of the game, while the Hawks missed their first six shots.

“Whatever the coaches want me to do defensively, offensively, I’ll work to do it,” Embiid said. “I thought I did pretty good.”

“I couldn’t be more proud,” Wesleyan coach Mary Stephenson said of her team. “There’s no team I’d rather coach. I wouldn’t trade them for any team in this tournament.

“We lost a tough one to (FPD on Saturday) morning, which should’ve gone our way. What was said was, ‘We’re going to be playing in this (championship) game. It just shows you the fight and mentality they have.”

The Wolves had taken a 3-0 lead through three innings of the title game thanks to an RBI each from Savannah Sommer, Cassie Henning and Jahni Kerr, and still led 3-2 in the top of the seventh before FPD loaded the bases with nobody out.

Henning, came on in relief, but was greeted by a single to left by Evans. Emily Rutledge scored easily, but Sommer made a strong throw from left that arrived just as Allie Parkerson was sliding into the plate.

However Parkerson was ruled safe, giving FPD a 4-3 lead, and the Vikings added another run in the inning before setting down Wesleyan in order in the seventh.

Henning had a huge day at the plate for Wesleyan, going 5-for-12 with seven RBIs in the four games, including a grand slam and five RBIs in the win over Tattnall Square.

other run on Cassidy’s RBI single in the fifth to pull to within 3-2, but the sophomore set down seven of the last eight Hawks she faced on the day, with only a two-out error in the seventh interrupting that string.

taken care of when Martin fielded Koepke’s grounder to second and flipped to first for the title.

Dennis finished the day allowing just nine hits and one earned run with 11 strikeouts over 14 innings on the day. Reed, Wilbur and Short each had two hits in the championship game.

For Mill Creek, the game was a disappointing end to a long day in which the Hawks fought through three games before their reign as state champions ended as the newl crowned runner-up.

“I’m so proud of our girls and how they soared through adversity,” Mill Creek coach Paul Pierce said. “A lot of teams could’ve done a lot of things, and our girls could’ve gone in the wrong direction. We dealt with a lot of adversity off the field and on the field, and they came out winners. I think that’s going to help them in the game of life.”

In addition to Hayward’s strong pitching, the Hawks got Koepke (3-for-4 in the title game) and Cassidy (1for-2 RBI).

Aaron Rodgers, Packers draw focused Falcons team The Sports Xchange Dan Quinn hopes he’s got his Atlanta Falcons ready for just this moment.

The Falcons started October with back-to-back wins over last year’s Super Bowl teams, Carolina and Denver. Then came a pair of mentally challenging defeats. First, it was a twopoint loss at Seattle. Then, it was an overtime loss at home to San Diego last week caused, in part, by Quinn’s failed decision to go for it on fourth down on his side of midfield in the extra period.

“That’s kind of where a lot of your character is tested, when it’s under duress,” Quinn said.

“We’ve really spent a lot of time developing this mental toughness that we have. We spent a good bit of our offseason demonstrating our language for it. Knowing this game, there’s going to be difficult moments, difficult times, and how do you reset?”

It’s not just coach-speak.

With injuries sidelining running backs Eddie Lacy and James Starks, the Packers’ top player in the backfield is Montgomery, who the Packers list as a receiver on the depth chart. Meanwhile, Atlanta’s defense ranks 27th in scoring, 26th in yards allowed and 31st in passing yards allowed.

On the flip side, Ryan is off to the best start of his career and will be attacking a Packers secondary that might be without its three top cornerbacks.

“We trust our defense to do their job, but we know we’ve got to be efficient and score points, especially in the red zone,” Rodgers said. “We’ve been doing a great job on third down, ranking at the top of the league there, but the red zone’s been slipping a little bit. We’ve been not scoring (touchdowns) as often as we need to do.

Patriots look to avenge their lone loss to the Bills Ridge’s Roby honored The Sports Xchange

The New England Patriots get a chance to avenge their lone defeat of the season when they visit Rex Ryan and the Buffalo Bills on today at 1 p.m. in a matchup of AFC East rivals. The Bills shocked the Patriots in Week 4, handing New England its first shutout loss at Gillette Stadium with Tom Brady serving the finale of his four-game suspension.

“It was a great time to play them,” Ryan said of the first matchup. “You know, I’ll admit it. It was probably an easier game to play them without (Brady).”

That earlier victory against the Patriots was part of a four-game winning streak for Buffalo that was snapped in last week’s 28-25 loss at Miami. New England was forced to start third-stringer Jacoby Brissett in the earlier meeting against the Bills, but it has ripped off three straight double-digit victories since Brady returned to the lineup. Brady owns a staggering 25-3 record against Buffalo, including a sweep last season that featured victory margins of eight and seven points.

Redskins at Bengals Today, 9:30 a.m.

The Cincinnati Bengals are clawing themselves back in the mix in the AFC North as injuries have taken their toll on each of the other division representatives. The Bengals will vie for their second straight victory in a bid to even their record when they test their mettle against the Washington Redskins in London.

Cincinnati has looked like a contender when matched up against lightweights (sub-.500 teams), as the team has allowed just 15.3 points in wins over the New York Jets, Miami and winless Cleveland. The Bengals, however, have been knocked out versus heavyweights Dallas and New England while dropping decisions

Jets at Browns Today, 1 p.m.

Ryan Fitzpatrick won’t be the only quarterback to return to the starting role when the New York Jets visit the Cleveland Browns. Josh McCown is expected to return for the Browns as they look for their first win of the season and attempt to snap a 10-game losing streak overall.

Benched for his poor play and the league leader in turnovers, Fitzpatrick was back under center in the first half of last week’s 24-16 win over Baltimore when Geno Smith suffered a torn ACL. Fitzpatrick threw for 120 yards and a score and, more importantly, didn’t turn the ball over as the Jets snapped their four-game skid.

With Cody Kessler in concussion protocol after getting injured in last week’s loss at Cincinnati, McCown figures to get the start after being medically cleared from a broken left collarbone suffered in the second week of the season. The Browns have already used five different quarterbacks on the season, not counting wide receiver Terrelle Pryor, who has run the wildcat and thrown nine passes.

Lions at Texans Today 1 p.m.

Matthew Stafford is starting to get some MVP buzz as he lifts the Detroit Lions

into contention, while Brock Osweiler is earning jeers for his high price tag and low performance for the Houston Texans. Osweiler will attempt to turn things around at Stafford’s expense when the Texans host the Lions.

Osweiler was 22-of-41 for 131 yards in a 27-9 loss at Denver on Monday to post an NFL season-low 3.2 yards per attempt and mark the third time this season he failed to record 200 passing yards on 40 or more attempts.

Stafford, in contrast, ranks seventh in the NFL in yards per attempt at 7.94 and boosted that number to 9.17 in a 20-17 win over Washington last week that extended the Lions’ winning streak to three games.

Today, 1 p.m.

The Oakland Raiders hope to make the Tampa Bay Buccaneers their next victim as they attempt to remain unbeaten on the road when the clubs collide. Oakland has earned a share of first place in the AFC West on the strength of its play away from home, where it improved to a league-best 4-0 with last week’s 33-16 triumph at Jacksonville.

Latavius Murray returned to the lineup after missing two games with a toe injury and gained only 59 yards but rushed for a pair of touchdowns as the Raiders raised their conference record to 4-1 for the first time since 2001.

Eagles at Cowboys Tonight, 8:30 p.m.

Two of the NFL’s most bitter rivals will square off with first place in the NFC East at stake when the Philadelphia Eagles visit the Dallas Cowboys tonight. No. 2 overall pick Carson Wentz was all the rage after leading Philadelphia to a 3-0 start, but fellow rookie Dak Prescott has guided the Cowboys to five consecutive wins.

Vikings at Bears Monday, 8:30 p.m.

Their perfect record now a thing of the past, the Minnesota Vikings look to get back on track when they visit the Chicago Bears on Monday night in a matchup of NFC North rivals. The Vikings opened the season with five consecutive wins prior to their bye week but absorbed their first loss in a 21-10 defeat at Philadelphia last week.

Minnesota coach Mike Zimmer would not blame the bye week for stemming his team’s momentum, instead pointing to a sea of mistakes that included four turnovers, six quarterback sacks and a kickoff return for a touchdown allowed.

“So if you’re going to do those things, you have no chance to win,” Zimmer said.

Chicago, which has dropped three in a row and six of seven, has a burgeoning soap opera building. Jay Cutler, who suffered a thumb injury in Week 2, is poised to return to the starting lineup amid a published report that Bears coach John Fox told friends that he is “done” with the veteran quarterback after this season.

From Staff Reports WASHINGTON, D.C. — Denver Broncos safety Bradley Roby was named this week’s NFLPA Community MVP for his continued efforts to empower kids through academic and social outreach programs on Friday.

In just his third year in the NFL, the Peachtree Ridge grad knows he is a role model for many. He understands this incredible responsibility and because of that, he spends most of his time away from the field with kids. This week’s off day was no different.

The Super Bowlwinning defensive back joined PBA star Sean Rash and Mike Dobbyn, the world record holder for the longest drive, as a host for The Smile Generation Strikes for Kids Golf Par-Tee on Tuesday.

More than 30 children and their “bigs” from the Big Brothers & Big Sisters of Denver enjoyed an outing at Top Golf to support a great cause.

“I was really honored when I found out I won,” Roby said. “I know only one guy every week can get it, and I see what guys all over the league and here in Denver are doing in the community, so it meant a lot to me to receive the award.”

The event raised $13,500 to benefit Strikes for Kids Giveaway Program, which recognizes and rewards children ranging from ages 6-13 years old for their athletic and academic achievements.

Roby made the benefit even more special by hosting six breast cancer survivors in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

Florida dominates Georgia in the Cocktail Party

By Anthony Dasher The Sports Xchange

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Sure, there’s plenty about his 14th-ranked Gators that Florida coach Jim McElwain would like to see improve. But he’s not about to complain with the results.

Take Saturday’s 2410 win over Georgia, for example.

Although the Gators scuffled at times offensively, another sterling effort

by Florida’s second-ranked SEC defense shut down the Bulldogs, allowing McElwain’s squad to stay in the driver’s seat for the East title.

The Gators (6-1, 4-1) — who won the game for the third straight year — were impressive indeed.

Florida held Georgia (44, 2-4) to 164 total yards, including a season-low 21 on the ground and making life miserable for quarterback Jacob Eason, holding the freshman to 14 of 32

But the Gators did what Georgia could only do once — find the end zone — including a 4-yard touchdown run by wide receiver Antonio Callaway with 5:54 to go in the third.

A 38-yard field goal by Eddie Pienero in the fourth quarter accounted for the final score.

Florida led 14-10 in what was a sloppy first half by both teams.

One of those mistakes came during the Gators’ opening drive when Bulldogs safety Dominick Sanders picked off Luke Del Rio — who completed 15 of 25 passes for 131 yards — setting up a 25yard field goal by Rodrigo Blankenship for a quick 3-0 lead.

the lead in the second quarter on a 14-yard pass from Eason to Riley Ridley, only to see the Gators go up a second time on a 2-yard run

by Jordan Scarlett to jump back in front 14-10.

Thanks to errors by both teams, the score stayed right there.

Florida was penalized six times for 45 yards, while the Bulldogs dropped a handful of passes, including one from Eason with no Gator defensive back within 15 yards.

Notes: Florida MLB Jarrard Davis was supposed to be a game-time decision with a sprained ankle, but was able to start the game. … Georgia’s Dominick Sanders picked off his second interception of the year on Florida’s first possession.

Northwestern (4-4, 3-2) came back after Samuel’s score with a 16-play, 60-yard drive but couldn’t get the ball into the end zone against Ohio State’s defense and settled for a 33-yard field goal by Jack Mitchell with 3:31 left.

After Pettis ripped off his punt return to put Washington ahead 31-24, Utah drove down the field one more time. The Utes reached Washington’s 26-yard line, but Keishawn Bierria sacked Troy Williams on third down, and Williams’ fourth-down pass fell incomplete, allowing the Huskies to run out the clock.

Myles Gaskin rushed for 151 yards and a touchdown and Jake Browning threw for 186 yards and a pair of touchdowns to lead the Huskies. Washington (8-0, 5-0 Pac-12) has won 11 straight games dating back to last season.

Norcross product continues to be Tech’s Lynch-pin

By Stan Awtrey Staff Correspondent

ATLANTA — Clinton Lynch continues to cement his reputation as a big-time playmaker for Georgia Tech.

The Norcross High graduate rushed five times for 15 yards, including an 11-yarder. But he had a bigger impact as a receiver, where he caught all three balls thrown his way for 91 yards and two touchdowns.

Lynch caught a 46yard touchdown in the first half and the gamewinning 21-yarder under good coverage with 5:38 remaining.

“We have full confidence in (Justin Thomas) throwing the ball,” Lynch said. “He threw a great ball to me on both of my touchdowns, actually. It’s just good to have a guy like that on your team.”

This season Lynch has 11 catches for 306 yards and four touchdowns.

Defense struggles again The Georgia Tech defense allowed a seasonhigh 559 yards against Duke, far more than the 442 given up against Clemson. Duke ran for 254 yards, threw for 305 and had 23 first downs.

The Yellow Jackets especially struggled to stop throws to the tight end. Duke’s three tight ends caught 12 passes for 173 yards and two touchdowns.

“A lot of the same problems we’ve had all year — can’t get off the field defensively and we had back-to-back turnovers off the kickoff return and on the very first play of the second half,” Johnson said. “Hopefully we learned a very valuable lesson.”

Griffin had seven tackles and recovered a fumble.

“We had some guys make plays, we’ve just got to be consistent,” coach Paul Johnson said.

J.J. Green, Marshall injured J.J. Green missed most of the second half after being clobbered on a kickoff return. Green, who returned a kickoff for a touchdown against Pitt, was hammered by Duke’s Deondre Singleton on a return and fumbled the ball. Green was carried to the locker room and did not return.

B-back Marcus Marshall suffered an undisclosed injury in the second half. He ran 13 times for 69 yards, including a 50 yarder, in his second start of the season.

Mills out with concussion Freshman B-back Dedrick Mills was forced to miss the game because he had not cleared the concussion protocol.

Mills suffered the injury on Tuesday and was not medically cleared for the game. Mills entered the game as the team’s leading rusher with 446 yards.

Extra points Will Bryan started at right guard. Bryan had not started the two previous games. … The honorary captain for the game was former Georgia Tech coach George O’Leary, who received a nice ovation when he walked to midfield for the coin toss.

Hamlin hopes to stay alive in Chase The Sports Xchange Denny Hamlin’s championship aspirations came .006 seconds away from evaporating at Talladega last Sunday. Fortunately for the No. 11 Toyota driver, he beat Kurt Busch to the finish line by .006 seconds (approximately two feet) for a third-place result that earned him the final spot in the Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup Round of 8 over Austin Dillon.

Now holding the same number of points as the remaining eight Chaseeligible drivers, Hamlin is back at square one heading into today’s Goody’s Fast Relief 500 (1 p.m. on FOX) at his hometown track — and also one of his best tracks — Martinsville Speedway.

In 21 career starts at Martinsville, the Chesterfield, Virginian boasts five wins (third-most among active drivers), 11 top-five and 16 top-10 finishes. A visit to Victory Lane today would earn him a berth in the Championship 4 race at Homestead-Miami Speedway next month.

best tracks still coming up, and obviously that starts with Martinsville this weekend,” Hamlin said. “I have always maintained that if we can get to this Round of 8 in the Chase, we’re going to be tough to beat.”

In addition to Martinsville, Hamlin runs strong at the other two Round of 8 tracks as well — Texas Motor Speedway and

Phoenix International Raceway. Among the remaining eight Chase drivers, Hamlin’s 10.9 average finish at the three Round of 8 tracks trails only Jimmie Johnson’s 7.9 average showing. His eight combined wins at the three ovals - five at Martinsville, two at Texas and one at Phoenix — rank third behind Johnson’s 18 and Kevin Harvick’s nine.

Despite his past success, Hamlin understands future results aren’t guaranteed.

“The competition is certainly really good at this level, so it will be up to us to perform when it counts,” he said. “We have confidence every time we go to Martinsville, and our focus this week will be to go there and get the victory.”

Before Khalid Mutakabbir resumes his professional basketball career in Spain, he will host a free clinic for youngsters at his alma mater.

Mutakabbir’s Top Notch Universal Clinic — offered by his basketball training company — will be Nov. 13 at Peachtree Ridge High School for boys and girls ages 6 to 17. The event is from 1 to 4 p.m. and each participant gets a gift bag. Those who register by Monday get a T-shirt.

In addition to basketball drills, the clinic will feature a motivational speaker and a health and wellness speaker.

Mutakabbir has been recovering from an injury, but returns to his team in Spain later this year. It will be his fourth season of pro basketball, the previous three in Spain after a debut season in Greece.

Prior to the pros, Mutakabbir started 121 of 122 career games at Presbyterian, where he held the school record for points and minutes since the program went to NCAA Division I-A play. He also scored 1,000 points at Peachtree Ridge, where he was a three-year varsity starter from 2006-09.

Mutakabbir trains basketball players through Top Notch Universal, which operates out of County Junction Academy in Hoschton, when he isn’t playing overseas.

To register for the camp at Peachtree Ridge, go to www.topnotchuniversal.com and type in code TNU2016 for free registration. Call 678-425-7584 or 678-595-0175 for more information.

XTerra Georgia race events coming to Little Mulberry Park The XTerra Georgia Little Mulberry Park Trail Running Race, the fifth edition of the popular event, will be held Nov. 12 at the Dacula park.

Gwinnett-based Dirty Spokes Productions stages the race each year.

Runners will follow trails in the park on two courses, one a 5K and the other a 10K. The races will start on paved asphalt for spacing reasons, then quickly move onto grass and dirt trails.

The popular race caps its entries at 325 runners for parking reasons and to allow ample room to get runners into the woods.

Registration is available online at www.Active.com and at all seven Big Peach Running Company locations. The 5K registration is $25 through Monday, $30 from Tuesday through Nov. 10 or $35 on race day. The 10K registration is $30 through Monday, $35 from Tuesday through Nov. 10 or $40 on race day.

Packet pickup begins Nov. 12 at 7 a.m. and concludes at 8 a.m. The races begin at 8:30 a.m. on the Fence Road side of Little Mulberry Park.

Georgia Force launches home-school basketball

After years of success in high school football, the Georgia Force program has founded a high school basketball program for home-school students.

The organization began its football program in 2004 for the benefit of home-schooled students and privateschool students whose schools didn’t offer football. It has expanded this season into basketball, where it will compete in the South Central Division of the Georgia Independent Christian Athletic Association.

The Force plan to have varsity and junior varsity boys basketball teams for the 2016-17 season. Participation is open to all area home-schooled boys 13 and older who are abiding by Georgia home-school laws and who meet age and eligibility requirements.

Players interested in joining the Force’s inaugural basketball teams are invited to tryouts Wednesday and Thursday from 3 to 5 p.m. at the T. Carl Buice School in Sugar Hill. A short information meeting for parents will be held Wednesday at 3 p.m.

For more information, go to www.facebook.com/ GAForceBasketball or email to shane.pike@gaforcebasketball.com.

The gathering includes a parachutist, musical performances by the Johns

On July 18, 2006, the residents of Johns Creek voted overwhelmingly to approve cityhood — 84 percent with a 48 percent voter turnout. On Nov. 7, 2006, the residents of Johns Creek elected their inaugural City Council to include Bodker and members Randall Johnson, Karen Richardson, Liz

Haussmann, Dan McCabe, Ivan Figueroa and Bev Miller.

On Dec. 1, 2006, the city of Johns Creek officially incorporated.

In a list ranking America’s best cities to live, Johns Creek landed a high-ranking spot among 50 other places around the country.

Using criteria such as population size, median home values, rates of poverty and percentage of individuals with at least a college degree, financial news website 24/7 Wall Street ranked the city No. 4 in the nation.

“While many social and economic measures in Georgia are generally worse than in most states, Johns Creek residents earn high incomes while living in a low-poverty area, have high levels of education and can enjoy plenty of amenities,” reads the recent news blurb on the national website.

According to the site, the median annual household income in Johns Creek, adjusted for the cost of living, is $115,402 a year — well more than double the state’s median income.

The poverty rate of 4.6 percent is considerably lower than the national poverty rate of 14.7 percent and the state rate of 17 percent.

Johns Creek residents also have access to “a remarkable number” of leisure venues, especially dining. There are around 320 eating locations per 100,000 city residents, one of the higher such concentrations in the nation.

The top place to live in the country is Broomfield, Colo., according to the website.

Earlier this month, the city of Johns Creek made two other similar online lists, though at the state level.

Measuring data such as the number of available job opportunities, personal income growth, home values and other statistics, financial advisory website WalletHub last week placed Johns Creek at No. 1 on its list of 100 Georgia cities: Best Places to Raise a Family in Georgia.

Much as with other accolades from similar online lists, Mayor Mike Bodker called it a success for the city’s residents.

“The foundation of Johns Creek’s success is our people: those who were here when our city was incorporated and those who have actively searched for an exceptional community to call home,” See HONOR, Page 9A

Hector Garcia, 6, hefted two big bags full of candy around the police depart-

mayor of Sandy Springs.

“For 29 years, she fought for cityhood for Sandy Springs, and she did that against the backdrop of a Democratically controlled House and Senate,” Bodker said.

“Finally, in the 30th year of her battle, the legislature turned over for the first time to be all Republican … and they were open to creating legislation that allowed for cities to be created.”

And that opened the door for other prospective cities.

“I like the Twizzlers,” Garcia said, tearing into a fresh pack. “But I also like chocolate. Chocolate is good.”

Gabe Gimenez, 8, who

walked alongside Garcia, offered to trade the young man a handful of Starburst for one of the packs of Twizzlers. But Garcia shook his head — no dice.

“These are the best,” Garcia said with certain

finality in the words.

group of 498 semifinalists that were recognized on Oct. 18. The semifinalist projects are those considered outstanding and notable from the pool of more than 1,600 projects submitted this year.

Regional finalists will go on to compete in one of six regional competitions hosted over three consecutive weekends in November at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (Nov. 4-5); Georgia Institute of Technology (Nov. 4-5); University of Notre Dame (Nov. 11-12); University of Texas at Austin (Nov. 11-12); California Institute of Technology (Nov. 18-19); and Carnegie Mellon University (Nov. 18-19).

Winners of the regional events will then advance to the final phase of the competition, National Finals at George Washington University in Washington, D.C., Dec. 5-6, 2016, where $500,000 in scholarships will be awarded, including two top prizes of $100,000.

“It’s been great,” Kalish said. “I can’t even guess how many people we have here (though it looked to be in the thousands). It’s definitely a whole lot bigger than last year, (which was Trunk or Treat’s inaugural year).”

In fact, the only problem they ran into was almost running out of candy. But it was remedied.

“Literally, within the first 30 minutes I said, ‘We’re going to run out of candy,’” Kalish said. “I was telling kids ‘one or two pieces each please,’ and I just sent a lieutenant out to the store to get more candy. We had

She attributes Jasmin her sucGao cess thus far to “supportive family members, friends and teachers who are always there for me.”

The Siemens Competition, launched in 1999 by the Siemens Foundation, was established to increase access to higher education for students who are gifted in STEM and is based on the culture of innovation, research and educational support that is the hallmark of Siemens. This competition, administered

by Discovery Education, seeks to recognize and hopefully build a strong pipeline for the nation’s most promising scientists, engineers and mathematicians.

The 96 regional finalists were picked from a

Creek Community Association, “the umbrella HOA.” He went to Mark Burkhalter, who then was a state representative and speaker pro tem for the Georgia House of Representatives.

“I asked him what we should do,” Bodker said. “He sent me on a mission to go meet with the mayors of Alpharetta and Roswell … and ask on his behalf if they would annex (some areas) between the two of them.”

Bodker met with both mayors, who, he said “laughed me

out of their offices and basically explained to me later it would have been politically impossible to absorb an area as big as Johns Creek because it would mean half of their city councils would have to step aside and be replaced by Johns Creek representatives, and they weren’t willing to do that politically.”

Nevertheless, Bodker went back to Burkhalter, who started legislation to create the city of Johns Creek. The measure included having an economic viability study done on the area by the Carl Vinson Institute of

Government.

When the study came back, talks pivoted from whether or not to create a city to boosting efforts to get a “yes” vote.

“The interesting thing about new cities in general,” Bodker said, “is that you get a vote and then you basically have to stand the city up overnight. In our case, we had a vote on July 18, 2006, and on Dec. 1, we would become a city, and of course there were City Council elections in between that. So we had to basically start a city overnight.”

•From Page 1A

Bodker said.

“Although we have a very internationally diverse community, they share a common goal to remain focused on working together to maintain high education standards, public safety and premier municipal services,” he added.

According to WalletHub, the site compared cities based on 21 key factors of family-friendliness “ranging from number of attractions to median family income to school system equality.”

The WalletHub ranking is only the most recent. Weeks earlier, the city claimed the top spot on ValuePenguin’s Safest Places in Georgia ranking.

BANDING TOGETHER ‘Love for making music’ part of glue connecting local group

By Camie Young • Staff Correspondent Karen White has been involved in music just about all of her life. From her preschool piano lessons to her college days in the concert band, she made music in whatever way she could.

When she was in the Air Force, she longed for an outlet and found it in a church. Then she moved to metro Atlanta, she needed to find a way to connect with the music she loved and her new community.

She found it in the Gwinnett Community Band.

“Music has long been part of my life, and I invested a good number of years to developing my ability — not that I play at a level to do so professionally, but it’s a great hobby,” White said. “There is also a sense of camaraderie that comes from doing something enjoyable with like-minded folk at all levels of experience, and that shared experience as musicians has formed the foundation of several new friendships.”

Formed in 1984, the Gwinnett Community Band has entertained audiences across Gwinnett and even across the country. Its members are devoted musicians, but few are professionals. Mostly, they are volunteers with a love for music. Many played their instruments in high school and picked them back up a decade or two later.

That’s what happened to Bob Tettman, a clarinetist

Visiting a familiar road that leads to days gone by As the road twisted and turned while rising up through the elevation of the tree-smothered mountain, I slowed the car and looked at the place so dear to my family. A place where faith and calloused hands fought poverty, and poverty gave birth to dreams and eventual escape. My ancestors sowed there so we could reap abundantly elsewhere.

It is a simple two-lane back road that joins today’s world to one I knew in days gone by, the one place in my

Not much has changed.

Of that I am glad. The road is still patched with ribbons of tar poured into cracks, reminding me how it would melt in the hot July sun until it was soft and spongy. As my cousins and I walked barefooted toward the country store, I would sometimes stop and stick a toe into its softness and watch the indention it made. Those were the times when kids still

The trees are bigger but still full and leafy. The water hole where we laughed and splashed remains untouched, so I slowed the car to think of the 6-foot-tall drain pipe that runs underneath the road where we would plop down in our inner tubes on one end and ride the shallow, streaming water over the ridged surface then shoot out the other side into the deeper end of the water.

There are no developments, no subdivisions in this place called Nimblewill where families own farms and land stays mostly in the families from one generation to the next. The war had ended in Europe in 1945 and was soon to end in the Pacific before Amicalola EMC could get power lines into the community and the tiny, tin-roofed house of my grandparents.

with two enemies in two regions of the world, yet there were still many people without access to electricity. Once it arrived to my kinfolk in the mountains, it would mostly be a naked light bulb that hung down from the center of the room and was turned on and off by jerking a string.

The little four-room, humble abode of my grandparents, the one with a front porch that seemed to sigh with despair, was torn down long ago and replaced with a house trailer. Gone, too, is the barn and the snowball plant that sprouted up majestically every spring in the completely dirt front yard that was swept, not mowed.

It was just far enough away from the tall, sturdy pine trees to absorb sun and make my grandmother very proud.

She had few things of real beauty, so she always beamed with joy over the huge blossoms and offered a cutting to anyone who stopped to admire it. Across

the road lived Miz Mincey, the woman my mama once said was the kindest woman she ever met. Her house is still there, and I can clearly recall how she rumbled through the darkened rooms with heavy, lumbering steps.

Daddy used that road to teach me to drive when I was 12. Throughout my teenage years, I would see my cousins and childhood friends baptized in the river nearby. Then somewhere in those years, the parade of funeral processions began, and the innocence of my youth turned to experience and dusty memories.

There are only two or three houses that have sprung up on that road in the last three decades, which makes it so easy to take a look around and remember when.

Barbie — a doll full of Noble Purpose I confess: I was a Barbie girl.

What did you play with as a kid? Hot Wheels, Legos, Army men? Your toys forge your identify.

They enable you to play out your hopes and dreams.

You can be anything you want in the land of makebelieve.

As a kid, I was what we in (non PC) days referred to as a tomboy; l loved rough and tumble outdoors play. I also loved Barbie. For me, Barbie represented possibility. With her go-go boots and cool convertible, she was the dream for generations of girls.

Introduced in 1945, Barbie’s evolution mirrors my own. Like many of us, Barbie hit some low points.

As Barbie began aging, she lost her some of her mojo. By 2014, her stilettos were wearing thin and she suffered 10 consecutive quarters of systemic sales decline. Our cool girl was no longer a role model; she was a symbol of the past.

But Barbie is no quitter. She was down, but she wasn’t out. She’s older, she’s wiser and she was ready to reinvent herself.

Enter Juliana Chugg, who in 2015 took on the role of executive vice president at Mattel and chief brand officer for Barbie to lead our girl back to glory.

Chugg says, “We listened to the values of parents who were looking for brands that have depth and meaning. We refocused on that noble purpose to inspire girls.”

Chugg and her team unpacked Barbie’s past and

Forget Perfect

Lisa McLeod the values that once made her great. Barbie was created by working mom Ruth Handler to inspire imagination and creativity for little girls, providing them with all the possibilities they could be when they grew up.

Barbie was all that and more for my friends and me. While our brothers were turning the living room into a Hot Wheels maze, we were transforming the attic into Barbie World. We didn’t know any real women with glamorous lives, but with Barbie as our guide, we spent hours envisioning a magical future where we, too, drove a convertible and wore stilettos to work. Sure, Barbie had a pencil thin waist and weird pointed feet, but we didn’t give that much thought. We were too busy sending her on adventures, imagining her jobs and playing out her torrid romance with Ken — who, interestingly enough, was rarely allowed to speak in our Barbie World.

Barbie’s early wardrobe consisted of a bathing suit, a few play outfits, an evening gown and a wedding dress. She ruled our attic like a queen.

When I was 8, on my

first solo trip to my South Carolina grandmother, Barbie’s aspirations improved in a big, bold way. Grandma asked if I’d like to make Barbie some new clothes. We spent hours sewing Barbie’s new duds. My mother laughed out loud when I returned home trotting out Barbie’s new wardrobe of a judge’s robe, a doctor’s coat and a business suit for when she tried a case in front of the Supreme Court.

Barbie was going places; the rest of us were not too far behind.

As a young mother in the ’90s, I vacillated about buying my daughter a Barbie.

Was she the right body image for a little girl? After caving in, I almost wept in the Target aisle when my little blonde 4-year-old chose African American veterinarian for her first Barbie.

Flash forward to today.

Under Chugg’s leadership, there are now 23 new types of Barbies with eight different skin tones and a variety of hair colors and other features to reflect the multicultural society in which we live.

Barbie, I have to hand it to you, girlfriend. You grew, you changed, you evolved, and now you’re back better than ever.

You’re Barbie; you can do anything.

PET OF THE WEEK Macaroni is about 3-and-a-half years old and spent her formative years with a family who recently suffered financial hardship and reluctantly surrendered its pets.

Despite her quiet, laid-back demeanor, each day Macaroni hopes this is the day her new family will walk in the doors of the shelter.

Her adoption fee is $25. She has been spayed and given age appropriate vaccinations, dewormed, given flea/tick prevention, disease tested for FeLV & FIV, given a 24Petwatch microchip, and her adopter will receive 30 days of 24PetWatch Pet Emergency Insurance.

Each week the Gwinnett Daily Post will feature an animal available for adoption at the Georgia SPCA, which is located at 1175 Buford Highway, Suite 109, Suwanee, GA 30024. The hours of operation are Mondays through Fridays 11 a.m. to 7 p.m., Saturdays 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Sundays 1 to 4 p.m. You can see the rest of the adoptable cats and dogs at www.georgiaspca.org.

I’m voting for Trump The second-most alarming thing about this election — after the candidates themselves — is the number of people who have decided that, if you plan to vote for “the other guy” (or gal), you must be a bad person.

That attitude is especially prevalent on the left, as evidenced by Hillary Clinton’s characterization of Donald Trump’s supporters as “deplorable” and “irredeemable.” But it’s not exclusive to leftists, as I’m painfully reminded when I see my conservative Facebook friends at each other’s virtual throats.

Personally, I know plenty of good, ethical people, people I like and respect, on both sides — or all sides, rather, given the rather crowded field. I may disagree with their reasons for supporting a particular candidate, but I recognize their decision is a principled one.

As for me — well, I’m getting a little tired of being lectured or told that I’m evil because of my political views. That’s antiintellectual, anti-democratic, anti-American nonsense.

The beauty of our system is that we can all vote our conscience. You’re welcome to vote yours, and I’m sure as heck going to vote mine.

For director Richard MacLagan, the band means more than just a musical experience.

“It represents a microcosm of what our society should be. The social and political strata of the band is wide yet we strive together for the collective effort of making a sound that is encouraging to those who hear and listen,” he said.

“Our target audience is everyone. We want to represent the musical genre of generations across the board,” he added of the band, which plays everything from classical pieces to popular movie themes and marches. “GCB does offer a family-type feel as we work together to achieve a common goal.

We take the interests of our members to heart and seek to encourage their growth.”

The holiday season is a busy time for the band.

After a Veterans Day performance in Snellville, the group is slated to perform four more concerts before Christmas, including a Nov. 28 event at Sugarloaf Mills.

City by City is a weekly look at the happenings in the places you call home

AUBURN City set to celebrate AuburnFest Saturday Come on, some Gwinnettians out there probably want a chance to do some square dancing, and they’ll get their opportunity next weekend.

The city of Auburn will host an old fashioned celebration of the fall season on Saturday called, appropriately enough, AuburnFest. The event, which will last from 2 to 10 p.m., is expected to include music; square dancing; home cooked food; children’s crafts; sack races; canning contests; quilting, crocheting and knitting competitions; cornhole games; hayrides and baking contests.

And if that isn’t enough, there will also be a pie eating contest.

There will also be entertainment for the younger set, including rock climbing walls, inflatables and zip lines as well. The movie, “Goosebumps,” will be shown at dusk behind City Hall.

Unlimited visit wristbands can be purchased for $25 apiece this week at Auburn City Hall, 1369 Fourth Ave. Visit tickets for activities can be purchased on the day of the event at a cost of $18 for 20 tickets.

The festival will take place in Auburn’s downtown district.

BARROW COUNTY Bethlehem church to host annual holiday bazaar Bethlehem First United Methodist Church will present its fifth annual Holiday Bazaar from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Nov. 12.

This year will be the largest show in the church’s history with over 70 vendors along with pony rides, food, crafts and more at 709 Christmas Ave., according to coordinator Amber Wigley.

For more information, visit www.bethlehemfirstumc.com.

BERKELEY LAKE Mayor: Managing tree removal a ‘struggle’ for the city In a monthly city newsletter, Mayor Lois Salter reminded residents to read the tree removal rules on the city’s website.

Salter said the city continues to seek ways to compromise to meet the needs of property owners while honoring the community’s wishes.

“That tension between the private property holder’s rights to his or her home and what the rest of us want to see when we look at our neighbor’s yard is a struggle,” she wrote.

Salter said residents can talk to city council members about ordinances and when necessary, make suggestions for possible improvements.

“We can certainly change things,” she said. “Last time we did that we increased tree density requirements by 25 percent.”

For more information, visit www.berkeley-lake.com.

BRASELTON Rocketeers event set for Saturday Braselton officials are inviting residents to try their hand at building — and flying — homemade model rockets.

The city and the Southern Area Rocketry Club will cohost a “Build It, Fly It” event on the new Braselton Town Green from noon to 2 p.m. and 2:30 to 4:30 p.m., on Saturday.

Officials will give participants materials to work with at a construction station. Once participants have built their model rocket, they will be encouraged to go out on the town green and make them fly.

“Watch as your creation is released to see if it flies,” officials said on the city’s website.

“Watch the engineers fly all kinds of other model rockets.

Anyone can be an engineer in this fun and creative environment.”

Participants must be at least 7, and register in advance for the event. The cost is $15 per person. Anyone interested in participating in the event can register at www.eventbrite. com/e/braselton-build-it-fly-ittickets-28742885745.

Poland and struggling to survive during the Nazi occupation. It describes the gradual changes from an idyllic childhood with a loving family to the inferno of Nazi ghettoes and labor camps. The book is the realization of the author’s mother’s last plea: to survive to tell the world.

When the labor camp was finally liberated by the Soviet army, Schneider was the only survivor of her family.

The 16-year old survivor now struggles to return to normalcy and prepare for the future, but can never forget the horrors of the past. The book chronicles her valiant attempts to acquire an education in Europe and the United States, her home since 1949.

This book fulfills her mother’s last wish and is also an accounting of her remarkable achievement of rebuilding a family in a free country.

A key match up will be Washington cornerback Josh Norman covering Bengals wideout A.J. Green.

8 p.m. on CW Supergirl The first rule of an alien fight club is ... well, if you know the first rule of a human one, you can guess.

The information is provided while Coulson (Clark Gregg)

FRIDAY 9 p.m. on CW Crazy Ex-Girlfriend Who will Rebecca (Rachel Bloom) end up with? As the title “All Signs Point to Josh ... or Is It Josh’s Friend?” suggests, this new episode may go a long way toward helping her decide whether she chooses Josh (Vincent Rodriguez III) or Greg (Santino Fontana).
