Woman dies in Norcross townhouse fire FROM STAFF REPORTS The Georgia Bureau of Investigation and the Gwinnett County Fire Department are working to determine the cause of a blaze that killed a woman in an early morning fire at a Norcross townhouse Tuesday.

Gwinnett County fire-

fighters responded at 2:40 a.m. to a report of a fire at a townhouse in the 900 block of Summer Place, N.W. in Norcross. The caller to 911 reported that something was on fire in the kitchen.

According to Gwinnett Fire Cpt. Tommy Rutledge, crews arrived to find heavy fire involvement on the first and second floor of the

two-story unit in the middle of the building.

“Firefighters entered the unit with attack hose lines to extinguish the fire and conduct a primary search,” Rutledge said. “Firefighters located and removed an unconscious female from the second floor of the burning townhome during the initial search.”

Never forgotten

The woman was transported to Gwinnett Medical Center in Lawrenceville in critical condition. She was pronounced dead a short time after arrival, authorities said.

Two other adult occupants of the townhouse unit escaped unharmed and were already outside and safe when fire crews

arrived. The two surviving occupants are currently talking with police.

Based on the fatality situation within the city limits, the Norcross Police Department requested assistance from the GBI, Rutledge said.

“Gwinnett County fire investigators are working with Norcross Police and

OFFICER CHRIS MAGILL 1953-1993

the GBI to determine the cause of the fire and the circumstances surrounding the incident,” he said.

The exact cause of the fire and manner of death are currently undetermined.

The name of the victim and manner of death will be released by the Medical Examiner’s Office or the GBI when available.

U2 shines at Infinite Energy Arena in Gwinnett

BY JASON BRAVERMAN

jason.braverman@scompapers.com

A sold-out crowd got to experience U2’s latest tour Monday night at the Infinite Energy Arena in Duluth, and the Irish rockers did not disappoint.

Frontman Bono, guitarist The Edge, bassist Adam Clayton and drummer Larry Mullen Jr. — were all over the arena with the Experience + Innocence Tour.

After a long, worldwide tour, The Joshua Tree, the band did not play any of the songs from the 1987 album of the same name. However, they pulled out many fan favorites (“I Will Follow,” “Gloria,” “Beautiful Day,” “Sunday Bloody Sunday”).

Two stages were connected by a catwalk that ran through a large, two-sided LED wall.

The band was able to interact with the scenes playing — including a scene with Bono walking the streets of Dublin.

Motorists could soon see gas price drop FROM STAFF REPORTS Motorists may soon catch a break from rising gas prices, AAA

This moment, forever.

They won’t be this age for long. So make every second count with a family vacation in Florida.

It’s time to make moments that shine.

Auto Club reported.

However, it won’t happen overnight, experts said.

The reason for the potential drop is that oil and gasoline futures prices plunged after Russia and Saudi Arabia expressed interest in raising oil supply.

“This news couldn’t come at a better time, as motorists roll into the summer driving season,” said Mark Jenkins, a spokesman with AAA. “The drop in crude should amount to a discount of at least

10 cents at the pump, in the short term. Yet that will not happen overnight. Retailers are usually slow to lower prices, especially those who bought shipments of gasoline when prices were at a premium.”

Gas prices in Georgia increased 6 cents during the past week. The state average on Memorial Day was $2.84 — the most expensive for the holiday since 2014, when the average price was $3.62 per gallon.

Georgia motorists are paying 61 cents more

per gallon than a year ago. It now costs $43 to fill an average size tank of gasoline — an increase of nearly $10 from this time last year.

The most expensive gas price averages in Georgia are in Atlanta, which is averaging $2.90 per gallon.

Several stations in Gwinnett were not far off that high at $2.89 per gallon.

The cheapest gas in Gwinnett could be found in Lawrenceville with some stations selling gas in the $2.60s.

NFL needs to address treatment of cheerleaders It took two years, boycotts by fans, declining TV ratings, growing alarm among advertisers, a drop in the sale of gear and especially a public shaming by President Trump, but the owners of NFL teams have finally decided their players will not be allowed to kneel or make other protests during the playing of the national anthem.

The NFL Players Association claims the owners’ decision Cal violates the Thomas players’ “free speech rights.” No it doesn’t. Players are perfectly free to protest anywhere, anytime they wish, just not at the start of games for which the owners pay them large amounts of money they are unlikely to make elsewhere.

If you think free speech rights are valid wherever and whenever one wants to speak, try protesting something on company time where you work and see how long you keep your job.

The NFL is a business. The business is sports. If any other business is hurt by the behavior of its employees, management either requests a change in behavior, or sacks the employee for the sake of the bottom line and the morale of other employees and customers.

If players take the owners’ check, the owners have a right to lay down certain rules, as in football. Players who want to make a difference beyond symbolic protests, which they say raises awareness about racial injustice and other inequalities, can use their financial resources and celebrity to invest in the lives of people they regard as victims. Perhaps they could pay for the private education of children trapped in failing public schools or provide job training and child care for single mothers who rely on government assistance. Some players do go beyond protests with their good works. The protesters and others can follow their example.

With its decision to order players to stop the demonstrations, the NFL isn’t finished. Their next issue should be how their cheerleaders are treated. It’s been a long time since NFL cheerleaders actually led cheers.

Today, they shake their barely clothed bodies in suggestive ways while male fans who have consumed too much beer can ogle them.

Cheerleaders have recently gone public with complaints that some NFL teams encourage their participation in off-the-field events, which subject them to unwanted sexual advances. As The New York Times reported last month, “… performing at sporting events is only a small part of their job description. They are also required to fulfill what often is the unsavory side of the job: interacting with fans at games and other promotional events, where groping and sexual harassment are common.”

The cheerleaders told the newspaper that team officials with the NFL, as well as those associated with the National Basketball Association and National Hockey League, are aware of the problem, but have done little or nothing to stop it. They should.

Sexual harassment is illegal and with the #metoo movement, clearly the “rules” and level of tolerance for such inappropriate behavior have changed.

While skimpy outfits might encourage certain men to think they are invited to make advances toward women, and while these cheerleaders might wish to dress more modestly at off-field events (which they should not be forced to attend), that does not absolve men from sexually harassing them.

NFL owners have done well by banning protests during the national anthem. They should now act to stop the harassment of their cheerleaders.

And it shouldn’t take two years to do it.

Democrats can’t wait to impeach Don’t sweat North Korea.

Don’t sweat the postponement of the Singapore Summit.

My bet is that it’s just one of many bumps, blips and stumbles that will happen before the Trump administration and that evil dictatorship agree to a historic deal. Meanwhile, Donald Trump continues to get lots of positive things done in Washington.

This week he signed a bipartisan fix for the badly flawed Dodd-Frank financial reform act that helps small and regional banks deal with rules designed for Big Banks.

He also signed a smaller bill many say has been needed for a long time — “The Right to Try Bill,” which gives terminally ill patients the right to seek experimental drug treatments before they achieve final FDA approval.

By almost any measure, and despite virtually no help from Democrats and the biased mainstream liberal media, President Trump’s doing pretty well at home and abroad. His tax cuts are still giving millions of middle-class people fatter paychecks, unemployment is at record low levels for blacks and Latinos, the Trump stock mar-

But while Hillary Clinton is running around making excuses, wearing a Russian hat on stage and making dumb jokes, President Trump’s poll numbers are inching up and the generic Republican-Democrat ballots are even in the polls.

As usual, Democrats have 90 percent of the media on their side. But Republicans own all the important issues: lower taxes, better economy, more jobs, plus possible breakthroughs with the despots who run Iran and North Korea.

All the Democrats have in 2018 is, “We’re going to impeach Donald Trump. Then we’ll raise your taxes.” They’ll look like fools if they run on that platform — they already do.

Everyone wants respect, especially Putin WASHINGTON — Facebook ads purchased by Russia during the 2016 campaign, and released by Congress earlier this month, reveal a clear intent to create havoc in the U.S. — and should make Americans both wary and embarrassed.

They also sent a clear message to Americans, compliments of Russian President Vladimir Putin: You mess with me, I’ll mess with you.

We’ve allowed ourselves to be vulnerable to such an exploitation of social media by failing to control our easily manipulated passions and by our own gullibility. And Donald Trump’s constant slamming of the legitimate media and his base’s eagerness to embrace the message have surely served Putin and his operatives well.

Getting inside America’s head wasn’t so much genius as it was easy. The Russian model was basically Trump’s: Listen to what people are worried about, then throw fire at it.

If immigration boiled your blood, you might have seen a Facebook ad featuring a “No Invaders Allowed” sign. Or, if racism wasn’t far from your heart, you might have seen a flag-draped coffin with the words, “Another gruesome attack on police by a (Black Lives Matter) movement activist.” If you believed that a Hillary Clinton victory would lead to a godless society, you might have seen an ad depicting Jesus arm-wrestling Satan:

Russia has a reflexive feel to it.

“Hating Russia is like riding a bicycle,” laughs Nina Khrushcheva, great-granddaughter of former Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev and international affairs professor at the New School in New York. She has argued since Kathleen Trump’s election that Russia Parker was trying to reveal America’s weakness, as well as demon“If I win Clinton Wins!; Jesus: strate how easily Putin could Not if I can help it!” exert his power without having Without leaving his chair, to leverage anything.

his dealings with the Russian president. He grasped that Putin hungered for respect, that he desired to be recognized as a power equal to, if not greater than, Bush. Though Bush granted Putin respect-withdistrust, his successor did not.

President Obama’s dismissiveness toward Putin, combined with Clinton’s condemnation of Russian elections as secretary of state, likely gave Putin the impetus to fight back in his own way.

From Khrushcheva’s perspective, Putin doesn’t think he’s done anything wrong. As for everyday Russians, they find this all rather amusing.

Khrushcheva notes that her former countrymen either love or hate America, with little light in between. Overwhelmingly, however, they fail to see why Americans persistently bask in their storied exceptionalism.

Many countries have seen us lie and interfere with their affairs. They’ve seen us invade nations and install military bases. Our ebullient pride in the supremacy of our goodness can be viewed by others as boastful hubris. At the end of the day, everybody wants respect, none more, apparently, than dictators and unduly elected presidents like Putin.

Warily, we observe that they’ll do most anything to get it.

Side does not matter for quality sleeping Dear Dr. rOaCH: I am a man in my late 50s.

I now am told to sleep on my right side and not my left side, because it’s better for the heart. However, my sinuses seem to open up and it’s easier to breathe lying on my left side.

What, if anything, will happen if I sleep on my left side? Can it damage the heart permanently or lead to an early death?

— M.N. ansWer: Most people can sleep in whatever position they find comfortable without any problem.

However, there are a few instances in which sleeping on the left side may potentially cause problems. One is in people with untreated obstructive sleep apnea, in which several studies have shown that sleeping on the left side leads to slightly more breathing problems than sleeping on the right.

However, in people who are treated, that should not be a problem.

Pregnant women should sleep on the side. Although women have often been recommended to sleep on their left side, either side is fine for the baby. Leftsided sleeping may reduce swelling in the feet.

People with known severe congestive heart failure or coronary artery disease and who habitually sleep on the left side have a small increase in death compared with back sleepers or right-side sleepers.

However, my opinion is that the benefit is so small that comfort and quality of sleep are more important.

Dear Dr. rOaCH: Does sunlight make chickenpox blisters appear more quickly?

— S.V.A. ansWer: I have heard that, too, but can’t find any evidence that it’s true.

The rash of chickenpox certainly will come, even in darkness. Sunlight can worsen scarring from chickenpox, and the affected skin is more susceptible to burning, so those with chickenpox rash should be kept out of the sun.

Chickenpox is also very contagious; restrict contact with anyone who hasn’t had it or the vaccine. reaDers: The booklet on edema and lymphedema provides information on the causes of foot and ankle swelling.

Father tries to undo years of exclusion Dear amy: I have a son, “Brendan,” but I didn’t meet him until just before his ninth birthday. His mother raised him as if I never existed. He was told another man was his father.

Once we met and he began visiting me regularly, I realized that she had basically “flipped the script,” and that all of her problems and all of the bad things she had done in her life were assigned to me: I was the abuser. I was the person who slept around. I was the bad student.

My best qualities were assigned to her.

This narrative is diabolical.

It hurt me to hear my son tell me these things, but I followed the advice I read about not speaking negatively about her in front of him.

Once he turned 15 and more fabrications were invented, he questioned me, and I finally told him the truth.

During that time, I moved several states away.

He visited me in the summer.

He stopped visiting at 16. He does not acknowledge his baby brother or sister. He calls them “your children.” His mother will not acknowledge me or my children to him.

He is graduating from high school, and I will not be invited. We hardly ever talk anymore on the phone.

I’m just not sure what to do at this point. Should I

Ask Amy

Amy Dickinson just wait for him to figure out who is the liar?

— Devastated Dad Dear DevastateD: You need to understand that in addition to his mother’s gaslighting, your (more recent) family system will have affected your son’s attitude toward you.

Your son is being raised by a toxic liar. He had a few years of closeness with you, and then you moved and now you have other people in your life. Any teenager would have questions about where he fit in your life, and this teenager has extreme challenges.

One way for you to be a great father would be for you to look at things through his eyes, and understand that if he is aligned with his mother, then he really has no choice but to reject you. He lives in a household where rejecting you is required.

Send your son a letter and a gift for his graduation. Include pictures of his siblings (maybe in a photograph, the two little ones can hold signs saying, “Congratulations, Bren-

dan!”), and tell him that with these young children around, you realize how much you missed by not being in his life when he was a little boy. Basically, be the open-hearted, proud and loving dad you want him to have. Down the road, if you two have a decent relationship, various truths will be revealed over time. Your goal should be to stay in his life until he matures and can start to make some decisions on his own.

Dear amy: A family member is getting married.

The bride and groom decided that they do not want children at the wedding or reception. However, they have made no provisions to provide babysitting for the several out-of-town relatives who have young children.

They have also not even offered to help those outof-town relatives locate a babysitter. Consequently, those relatives have chosen to stay home and not attend the wedding.

Any suggestions on how this should have been handled?

— Concerned Aunt Dear aunt: An obvious solution would have been for out-of-town family members to bring along their own competent babysitters, who could watch the kids at the hotel while the adults were at the wedding and reception.

If all the parents shared the expense, it would keep

the cost down.

Dear amy: I have just attended my second wedding in a row where the couple was married by a recently “ordained by the internet in 10 minutes” officiant.

With wedding season upon us, I’d like to offer this reminder: When the bride enters, all stand. The congregation is welcomed, and then should be asked to “please be seated.”

In both weddings, they never said this, and as a result the congregation stood for the whole lengthy thing.

There were octogenarians with bad hips, short people who couldn’t see a thing, etc.

Usually these fly-bynight officiants are inexperienced, and are so worried about their own performance that they are oblivious to the crowd before them.

Please print this friendly reminder.

— Still Standing Dear stanDing: I attended an overly long event recently, and when one speaker said, “In closing…” everyone burst into applause. Thank you for this wedding tip.

Locals brave rain for Memorial Day parade

BY NANCI ALLEN Staff Correspondent

Despite the constant drizzle and the threat of heavy storms, many people still showed up for the 25th annual Dacula Memorial Day parade to honor those lost in the name of freedom.

Jason Bass of Dacula, who was there to watch the parade with his wife, Kristen, and three daughters, was disappointed with the low turnout.

“We’ve been coming here for 15 years in a row,” Bass said. “The parade is still going to be great.”

Others agreed that it was worth braving the rain for this important event to remember fallen heroes.

Barry Treadwell, a U.S. Army veteran from Lawrenceville, looks forward to the parade every year.

“I enjoy seeing the community coming together, to see your neighbors and honor the people who died,” Treadwell said. “If it had been a downpour, we might have given it a second thought, but we can survive a little drizzle.”

Past parades have kicked off with the usual C-130 flyover, which was not available this year because it had been deployed elsewhere. The Civil Air Patrol Composite Squadron GA112, based out of Briscoe Field in Lawrenceville, was scheduled to do the flyover in its place but due to the weather, the flyover was canceled.

With several area roads closed, the parade kicked off from Hebron Baptist Church with the singing of the national anthem at 10:20 a.m. A group of Gwinnett police officers on motorcycles and some local fire trucks led the way, followed by a car carrying former Hebron Baptist Church Pastor Larry Wynn.

As he pored over the information of the history of Zoo Atlanta, it struck 17-year-old Timothy Beauchamp that he was handling documents more than a century old.

The research that he and his younger sister, Bethany, were doing was in preparation for the regional level of National History Day. Months later, the siblings are preparing for a trip to The University of Maryland in College Park to compete at the national competition taking place June 10 to 14.

National History Day is a yearly themed competition — this year is Conflict and Resolution — and five different categories — documentaries, exhibits, papers, performances and websites they can choose from.

“We really love history studies, and we’ve done the competition before,” Bethany Beauchamp said.

“This year it was part of our history assignment to compete in the competition together.”

Although they’re siblings, the pair didn’t see eye-to-eye right away. Bethany Beauchamp wanted to something related to human interest, while Timothy Beauchamp wanted to do a topic with economic conflict.

The two began looking into businesses around the Atlanta area. Bethany Beauchamp said she thought about Zoo Atlanta out of the blue, and it was an idea that stuck.

“First thing we thought about was a DVD we got from the library and the history of conflicts that have happened in the zoo’s history,” Timothy Beauchamp said. “We decided on the 1980s which focused on the ownership of the zoo.”

The team decided to work on putting together something in the performance category of the competition.

In addition to the research they spent months compiling, they were tasked with putting together a script for their performance.

“We put it together two weeks before the regional competition,” Bethany Beauchamp said. “After the competition, we completely scrapped it and put together something that we thought would be a little bit more entertaining.”

The 10-minute performance is broken down into four separate scenes — 1985 at Zoo Atlanta, later in 1985 during the transfer of ownership of Zoo Atlanta, in 1995 discussing the effect the change had on people, then closing out with a modern day scene.

Fitting all the information they had and condense it into the 10-minute time limit wasn’t easy for the group.

“We did have to cut some things,” Bethany Beauchamp said. “That allowed us to focus on the information we had a little bit more and allow us to focus exactly what we wanted our conflict and compromise to be.”

Throughout the performance, the team not only has to convey its story the best it can while staying within a 10-minute time limit, but it also only has five minutes to set up any props and take down props it would use.

“We’re going to have to cut some of the props out to make it fit,” Timothy Beauchamp said. “At the state competition we had two tables, a podium, four chairs and a few other props.”

The siblings are home schooled, and when they aren’t busy being taught by their mother, Ana, they’re focused on playing instruments, with Timothy playing guitar and enjoying ethnic folk music, and Bethany playing violin and listening to country and classical music.

They aren’t worried too much about their competition, which will be coming from around the United States, Europe, Africa and Asia.

“It hasn’t really set in for us yet,” Timothy Beauchamp said. “Once we go there and see everyone it might be a different story.”

Throughout the four-day competition, acts will be judged and scored with winners going from the main competition to the semifinals and eventually, the final round.

Being close to Washington, D.C. will give the Beauchamps a chance to take in some of the sights.

The family is raising money for their trip on rally.org to help offset the more than $2,800 in expenses it will take to compete.

The journey to get to Maryland hasn’t been easy for the siblings, but they’ve made it.

“We do a lot of team stuff together,” Bethany Beauchamp said. “This was different and pretty interesting.

We don’t agree on everything, but it’s worked.”

“It’s given us an edge because we have a chemistry and know what’s going on,” Timothy Beauchamp said. “We’re able to help one another and it’ll help in the competition.”

world&nation World Israel responds to Gaza fire with over 35 airstrikes Israel has carried out dozens of airstrikes on targets in Gaza in response to what it called the biggest barrage of rocket and mortar fire from the strip since the 2014 war there.

The Israeli Defense Forces said it launched more than 35 airstrikes targeting the militant groups Hamas and Islamic Jihad, after approximately 70 rockets and mortars were fired toward Israeli territory Tuesday morning.

At least 25 incoming projectiles were intercepted by its iron dome air defense system, the IDF said earlier in the day.

Israel said three of its soldiers were injured, two lightly and a third moderately, in the militant fire from Gaza. In one of the day’s first barrages, one of the mortars landed in the yard of a kindergarten, which was empty at the time because school had not started.

The IDF said that Israeli air force planes had attacked over targets in seven locations belonging to Hamas and Islamic Jihad.

Two officers, one passerby killed in Belgium Belgian authorities are investigating the killing of two policewomen and a passerby in the eastern city of Liege on Tuesday as a terror attack, the country’s prosecutor said.

Belgian media, including CNN affiliate RTBF, are naming the gunman as Benjamin Herman. A spokesperson for the Brussels prosecutor told CNN the attacker, who was shot dead by police, was 31 years old and had the initials B.H. but declined to provide the full name.

The incident occurred around 10:30 a.m., when the assailant stabbed two policewomen from behind before stealing their service weapons and using them on the officers, Liege Prosecutor Philippe Dulieu said at a news conference on Tuesday.

China tariffs set by White House

By Donna Borak and Nathaniel Meyersohn CNN

The China tariffs are back on.

On Tuesday, the White House said the administration would proceed with its proposal to impose 25 percent tariffs on $50 billion worth of goods from China, and place new limits on Chinese investments in U.S. high-tech industries.

The decision comes after top administration officials have tried to dampen fears of a trade war.

Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said a trade war with China was “on hold” less than 10 days ago. And Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross is expected in Beijing on Saturday to help ease trade tensions between the two major trading partners.

Beijing has previously pledged to retaliate against the 25 percent tariffs.

In a brief statement, the White House said the president plans to take “multiple steps” to protect domestic technology and intellectual property from certain “discriminatory and burdensome trade practices by China.”

The latest step follows a March report by the U.S. Trade Representative Office, which undertook

Instead of the usual Shinkansen jingle, the train will ring the original Hello Kitty theme tune as it approaches the stations.

Car 1, named Hello! Plaza, will be dedicated to exhibitions showcasing various regional products and attractions. Pas-

sengers can buy souvenirs and specialty products here too.

The first region to be highlighted is Sanin, home to the Shimane and Tottori prefectures.

Eight original Hello Kitty designs have been unveiled — each Hello Kitty is holding a local product representing each of the prefectures the train visits. For example, there’s a green apple for Tottori prefecture and a black shell for Shimane prefecture.

with its annual Officer Chris Magill Traffic Detail, the Gwinnett County Police Department honored the Magill children with two Purple Hearts and Ayers’ Chief’s Coin for Excellence, which are given to those who were wounded or killed while serving and a person who demonstrates professional excellence, respectively.

The awards, which were given on the 25th anniversary of Magill’s death, were “long overdue,” said North Precinct commander Maj. Greg Adams, who was also a personal friend of Magill’s.

“While Chris worked for the Gwinnett County Police Department, he was injured in the line of duty twice — in 1987 and 1993,” Adams said. “The department didn’t start an official awards program until 1994 and as time went on, his name was omitted, and we’re here to correct that omission.”

Though Magill was not killed in his first line-of-duty injury, the incident was no small wound, Adams said.

“On Sunday, April 26, 1987, Officer Chris Magill responded to a burglary call,” he said. “He and (another officer) responded at about 7 o’clock Sunday morning to a fairly simple call, they thought. Unfortunately, as soon as they got there, it was upgraded to a burglary-in-progress. As Chris approached the front door, one of the two men inside fired a round at pointblank range and shot Chris in the face.”

While Magill was retreating to cover, Adams said, the other officer was working to secure the perimeter of the back of the house.

“One of the bad guys ran out of the house and over towards Chris,” Adams said. “Chris fired at the perpetrator, who then fled to the back of the house where he was later taken into custody.

The second perpetrator gave up and Chris received medical attention, but took a .25 ACP round to the cheek. He survived and came back to work, which, I believe, has got to show the character of the officer that Chris was.”

Just more than six years later, Magill was again injured while on duty — this time fatally.

Though it took 25 years for Magill’s family to be honored with the Purple Hearts, each year, Gwinnett officials host a traffic detail event to remind drivers of the Georgia Move Over Law, which was passed more than a decade ago.

According to the law, which was updated in 2016 to include vehicles that have flashing white lights, motorists must move over for stopped emergency vehicles and tow truck drivers.

He joined the Junior ROTC program at South Gwinnett and enlisted in the Army following graduation.

“His obituary states, ‘He was a loving husband and son. An amazing father of his two boys and friend to many.

He spent his days constantly joking and making everyone that came across him smile,’” Reinhold said.

Members of the Murphy family were not in attendance and were continuing the grieving process, according to Carolyn Buice, who read a statement from the family.

“They have a deep and abiding appreciation and gratitude for remembering their husband, dad, son and brother during today’s service,” Buice said. “Keep the Murphy family in your thoughts and prayers.”

Murphy is the 22nd Gwinnett resident to have his name etched on the Fallen Heroes Memorial in the Global War on Terrorism section.

“It’s important to remember Gwinnett’s sons and daughters that have taken up arms when asked,” Gwinnett County Administrator Glenn Stephens said. “It is fitting that we should take today to remember them.”

Lawn grasses not created equal A lush green lawn improves the aesthetics of your home and may increase its value. Furthermore, lawns help cool the air during the summer, prevent erosion, decrease rainfall runoff and have recreational value. Correct installation and maintenance do require some effort.

By knowing the advantages and disadvantages of the different types of turfgrasses, you can choose the one that has the qualities you desire for your situation.

Several types of turfgrasses thrive in our climate. They are divided into two basic categories: warm season and cool season. The warm season grasses, such as Bermuda, centipede, zoysia and St. Augustine, are most vigorous during the warm weather months. They turn brown and cease growth during the winter. Cool season grasses, such as tall fescue, have a rapid growth during the colder weather and stay green throughout the winter.

In the summer, their growth rate slows down and is not as attractive.

Bermuda is the most common turfgrass used for lawns in our area. Bermuda, with its rapid growth rate, will establish rather quickly if given proper growing conditions. Once established, it has excellent heat and drought tolerance. The grass does not tolerate shade.

Common Bermuda can be grown by seed. However, it tends to thin out and produces unattractive seed heads that require frequent mowing. The hybrid varieties are denser and have better color, finer texture and increased resistance to diseases. These hybrids do not produce any viable seeds and must be installed by sod, sprigs or plugs. Tiftway, Tiftgreen and Tifton 10 are some of the most popular hybrid varieties.

Zoysia forms an attractive, high-quality lawn. With its coarse to fine texture, bright green color and ability to develop a dense stand of grass, it has many positive attributes. It can tolerate filtered

Gardening in Gwinnett

Tim Daly shade but not deep shade.

Zoysia is established by sod, plugs or by sprigs. Zoysia has a slower growth rate, in comparison to other types of grasses and takes more time to become established.

The hybrid Meyer, one of the most popular varieties, has a medium texture, is tolerant to cold temperatures and spreads more rapidly than other Zoysia hybrids.

Emerald zoysia is an attractive fine-textured hybrid with dark green color and is best suited for high-quality lawns that have a good maintenance program. However, it does tend to develop excess thatch at a more rapid rate, and it is less tolerant of extreme cold.

Centipede is sometimes referred to as “the lazy man’s grass” since it needs minimal maintenance. However, the grass cannot be planted and then neglected. Since it has a slower growth rate, it requires minimal mowing and fertilization. The plant is adaptable to infertile soils.

Centipedegrass does best in soils that are somewhat acidic, in the pH range of 5.0 to 6.0. It may start developing a yellow color if the pH is too high. Centipedegrass can be installed by both sod and seed, with the best months to plant being May and June. Common centipedegrass is the variety most frequently planted. Several hybrid varieties, such as Tiftblair, are also available.

St. Augustine is an attractive turfgrass that has large, flat stems and broad, coarse, blue-green leaves.

It is the most shade-tolerant warm season grass. Like zoysia and hybrid Bermuda, it can only be established

by sod, sprigs and plugs. St. Augustinegrass is somewhat susceptible to extremely cold weather and some local lawns may have been damaged by the cold temperatures from this past January.

Some of the newer varieties, such as Raleigh, have higher tolerance to the cold.

Tall fescue is a cool season grass, meaning it holds its green color during the winter months. During the summer months, its growth slows down and can suffer from extended periods of hot, dry weather, so it needs the application of supplemental water. Tall fescue is quickly established through seed or sod during the fall, ideally between Sept. 1 and Oct. 15. Periodically, most fescue lawns need to be re-seeded, since they tend to thin out over time. Kentucky-31 is one of the most common varieties of tall fescue planted. K-31 is the old common cultivar of tall fescue that has been around for decades. New and more attractive varieties, referred to as “turf-type” tall fescues, are Southeast, Rebel, Plantation and Millennium.

They have a finer leaf blade, darker green color and a greater density and shade tolerance than K-31.

You can have a lawn that can be the envy of the neighborhood if you are willing to make the investment and provide the appropriate care.

If you would like to learn more about the different types of lawns, UGA Extension Gwinnett is offering a class on turfgrass selection and maintenance.

It will be held from noon to 1 p.m. June 6 in the second-floor conference room of the Gwinnett County Government Annex Building located at 750 S. Perry St. in Lawrenceville.

To register, please contact the Extension office.

“And BRT is like a lite rail on rubber tires so you’re actually creating dedicated lanes so there’s extensive right of way acquisition. And finally (there is) construction.”

The long-range plans also include the addition of rapid bus lines that Chapman called “BRT lite” on Scenic Highway, Peachtree Industrial Boulevard, Ronald Reagan Parkway and Jimmy Carter Boulevard.

Chapman called the rapid buses “BRT lite” because they have several features of BRT, such as premium buses and possibly stations that allow for faster boarding. They are also designed so they can be converted to full BRT lines later on if the ridership demand is there.

“One of the biggest differences is that instead of full dedicated lanes all through out (the route), you have what are called queue jumpers,” Chapman said. “So if you approach an intersection, you know there’s a 200-foot queue at the intersection, you build a runaround lane so it can still get around that back up, but you’re not in dedicated space all throughout.”

Break Free from Neuropathy with a New Supportive Care Cream A patented relief cream stands to help millions of Americans crippled from the side effects of neuropathy by increasing sensation and blood flow wherever it’s applied Raymond Wilson The Associated Heath Press AHP − A recent breakthrough stands to help millions of Americans plagued by burning, tingling and numb legs and feet.

But this time it comes in the form of a cream, not a pill, suggesting the medical community may have been going about the problem all wrong.

The breakthrough, called Diabasens, is a new relief cream developed for managing the relentless discomfort caused by neuropathy.

When applied directly to the legs and feet, it causes arteries and blood vessels to expand, increasing the flow of warm, nutrient rich blood to damaged tissue.

However, what’s most remarkable about the cream...and what makes it so brilliant...is that it contains one of the only natural substances known to activate a special sensory pathway right below the surface of the skin.

This pathway is called TRAP1 and it controls the sensitivity of nerves. In laymen terms, it determines whether you feel pins and needles or soothing relief.

Studies show that symptoms of neuropathy arise when the nerves in your legs deteriorate and blood flow is lost to the areas which surround them.

As the nerves begins to die, sensation is lost.

This lack of sensation is what causes the feelings of burning, tingling and numbness.

This is why the makers of Diabasens say their cream has performed so well in a recent clinical use survey trial. It increases sensation and blood flow where ever its applied.

No Pills, No Prescriptions, No Agony Until now, many doctors have failed to consider a topical cream as an effective way to manage neuropathy.

Diabasens is proving it may be the only way going forward.

“Most of today’s treatment methods have focused on minimizing discomfort instead of attacking its underlining cause. That’s why millions of adults are still in excruciating pain every single day, and are constantly dealing with side effects” explains Dr. Esber, the creator of Diabasens.

“Diabasens is different.

Since the most commonly reported symptoms − burning, tingling and numb legs and feet − are caused by lack of sensation of the nerves, we’ve designed the formula increase their sensitivity.

And since these nerves are located right below the skin, we’ve chosen to formulate it as a cream. This allows for the ingredients to get to them faster and without any drug like side effects” he adds.

Topical Creams Offer Sufferers a Safer, More Effective Avenue of Relief: Diabasens increases sensation and blood flow wherever its applied. It’s now being used to relieve painful legs and feet. now offering Diabasens nationwide. And regardless of the market, its sales are exploding.

Men and women from all over the country are eager to get their hands on the new cream and, according to the results initial users reported, they should be.

In the trial above, as compared to baseline, participants taking Diabasens saw a staggering 51% increase sensitivity in just one week. This resulted in significant relief from burning, tingling and nubmness throughout their legs.

Many participants taking Diabasens described feeling much more balanced and comfortable throughout the day. They also noticed that after applying, there was a pleasant warming sensation that was remarkably soothing.

Diabasens Users Demand More Many of Diabasens users say their legs have never felt better. For the first time in years, they are able to walk free from the symptoms which have made life hard.

“I have been using the cream now for about ten days. It has given me such relief.

I’ve had very bad foot pain from injuries and overuse of my feet for years which have contributed to severe itching/tingling and pain for some time. (My father also suffered from this pain and itching. I wish I would have had this for him.)

The first time I used the cream, I felt an almost immediate relief from this.

I now use it at least twice a day: once in the morning before work and once at night before I sleep.

I am so delighted with this. It has helped my walking, also. It has helped generate feeling again in my feet,” raves Marsha A. from Texas

Diabasens is shown to provide relief from: • Burning • Swelling • Tingling • Heaviness • Numbness • Cold extremities

Study Finds Restoring Sensation the Key To Effective, Long Lasting Relief

Targets Nerve Damage Right Below the Skins Surface

With the conclusion of their latest human clinical use survey trial, Dr. Esber and his team are

then once a day after. It does not require a prescription.

The active ingredient is a compound known as cinnamaldehyde.

Studies show that neuropathy and nerve pain is caused when the peripheral nerves breakdown and blood is unable to circulate into your legs and feet.

As these nerves deteriorate, sensation is lost. This is why you may not feel hot or cold and your legs and feet may burn, tingle and go numb.

Additionally, without proper blood flow, tissues and cells in these areas begin to die, causing unbearable pain.

The cinnamaldehyde in Diabasens is one of the only compounds in existence that can activate TRPA1, a special sensory pathway that runs through your entire body.

According to research, activating this pathway (which can only be done with a cream) increases the sensitivity of nerves, relieving feelings of tingling and numbness in your legs and feet.

Supporting ingredients boost blood flow, supplying the nerves with the nutrients they need for increased sensation.

Amazing Relief Exactly Where You Need It With daily use, Diabasens users report remarkable improvements in their quality of life without of the negative side effects or interactions associated with prescription drugs.

Readers can now enjoy an entirely new level of comfort that’s both safe and affordable. It is also extremely effective, especially if nothing else has worked.

ond set the table for a fiverun frame for the Grizzlies.

Arguably the biggest hit of the inning was a basesclearing triple by Carrigan — his fourth of the season — that scored Cord Johnson and Brandon Frazier.

Georgia Gwinnett pushed its advantage to 8-0 with a three-run third. Lanier grad Walter Coursey, who entered the World Series riding a 26-game hitting streak, slapped a double into the left-center gap to drive in two of the three runs. The double is his ninth of the season.

Faulkner’s bats came alive with two runs in the bottom of the second when Tekwaan Whyte sent the first pitch he saw over the right-field fence. The home run, which cut the Eagle deficit to 8-2, is his fourth of the season.

A pair of long-balls in the bottom of the fourth closed the gap to 8-5.

Faulkner’s Austin Paschke mashed a two-run home run to open the scoring before Reid Long followed suit four pitches later with a solo shot. Paschke and

Long are the first two individuals to hit back-toback home runs since it occurred twice in the 2016 World Series.

“When you play a team like Faulkner, no lead is safe because of how they swing it and score runs in bunches,” Stromdahl said.

But GGC broke the game open with seven runs in the sixth to push its advantage to 13-5. The rally was highlighted by a grand slam by Carrigan.

The home run is his second of the World Series and fourth this season. It’s also the third grand slam at this year’s tournament.

Faulkner added another three runs to its total when Ryan Rosa and Reese Cooley posted back-toback home runs.

Georgia Gwinnett added three runs in the seventh and two in the eight to put the game to rest. The Grizzlies wore out nine Faulkner pitchers.

Faulkner ends the season with a 54-9 record.

Trying to battle back from an early 3-1 deficit, Georgia Gwinnett College left the bases loaded on two separate occasions and stranded nine baserunners in the contest.

Oklahoma City got a bases-clearing triple from Brittany Perez in the top of the seventh inning to break the game open, turning a 3-2 lead into a 6-2 advantage. An RBI ground out later in the inning added another insurance run for the Stars.

Oklahoma City, the twotime defending national champions, got on the

scoreboard in the top of the first inning with a two-out, two-run single by Laci Joynes.

GGC (53-6) cut the deficit to 2-1 in the bottom half of the first inning with an RBI double from sophomore Sydney Willhite, an Archer grad. Oklahoma City took advantage of another two-out run-scoring single in the second inning to take a 3-1 lead.

In the fourth inning, senior Niki Cook, a Buford grad, brought home junior Aubree Cox with an infield single to trim the deficit to 3-2.

The Grizzlies loaded the bases one inning later, but Oklahoma City pitcher Jaden Shores induced a fly out to get out of the jam.

The Stars carried the momentum into their pivotal four-run seventh inning.

Montroy took some months off last season and entered the 2017-18 school year with a change in perspective. His mother’s cancer diagnosis convinced him to take some personal time, and ultimately played a role in his decision to join the Brookwood tennis team, head coach Kent Doehrman said. It was harder for her to travel to watch tournaments, and Montroy and his mother decided playing for Brookwood would not only be beneficial from a tennis and personal perspective by making it easier for her to watch her son play.

The time off may have enabled some rust — he lost his first match in a grinder with two contested sets — but Montroy settled in.

“I think the high school season rejuvenated him and it put a lot of things in perspective for him,” Doehrman said. “I think it was a good thing for him. He’s never been part of a team, he and Rueben (Dayal) are huge leaders.”

Doehrman, in fact, gives credit to Dayal for recruiting his classmate.

coach Forest Wood. Rebol was named to the B Division all-tournament team in singles and in doubles with her partner, senior Emma Fleming.

“I think that’s what really made us closer as a team,” Rebol said.

To Rebol, her junior season is a blur, despite the instant success.

Rebol comes from a legacy of tennis players.

He father and two older siblings all played collegiate tennis, and Rebol hopes to follow in those footsteps and sign sometime during her senior season. But when reflecting on her season, Rebol typically brings up moments in which she was able to celebrate accomplishments with her team.

“We have several players that play high-level tournament tennis year-round, but when they’re with the high school team, they jel and love being together,”

Montroy Overall, the Montroy said his experience was beneficial. The Broncos’ crowning achievement came when the boys tennis team reclaimed its first region title since 2015. Montroy won his No. 1 singles match 6-0, 6-4 to clinch the region championship.

“I played really well there,” Montroy said. “It was a quick match. It was just fun out there.”

Heading into the spring season at Brookwood, Montroy was ranked as high as No. 4 among Georgia’s amateur tennis recruits. He’s a four-star recruit according to Tennis Recruiting Network and his overall ranking in Georgia is No. 10. He burst on the tennis recruiting scene as a freshman with high finishes in a handful of national tournaments, and he’s focusing on finding a landing spot to play college tennis and preparing for a few early-summer tournaments.

While Montroy was a reliable contributor for Brookwood, his competitive mindset brings him back to his shortcomings.

He and Reuben Dayal held down Brookwood’s No. 1 and No. 2 singles court, and he said the team

atmosphere of high school tennis took some getting used to at the outset of the season.

Montroy found that his teammates boosted his confidence, contrasting that solitary feeling on the tournament circuit.

“Playing high school tennis, compared to tournament tennis is a big step,” Montroy said. “Playing with a team, it’s that extra moral support. It can boost your confidence a bunch.”

Brookwood’s dual match against Norcross stands out as one of the moments Montroy felt settled into his role with Brookwood.

The Broncos were playing at Norcross during their region slate, and the Blue Devil fans hung posters and tried to psych out their opponents. Montroy won 6-0, 6-4 in one of the most adverse situations he faced in Brookwood’s tennis season.

Montroy is in the midst of his summer circuit of tournaments. He’ll head to Mobile, Ala., for one of the biggest closed tournaments in the southeast. The Southern Closed championships, which Montroy will compete in for the third time, features nine southeastern states and a

Williams shines in return Field Level Media PARIS — Serena Williams won in her first Grand Slam match in 16 months, knocking off Kristyna Pliskova of the Czech Republic with a 7-6 (4), 6-4 decision Tuesday at the French Open.

It was Williams’ first appearance at a major since the 2017 Australian Open, where she won her 23rd Grand Slam title. Williams, unseeded due to her prolonged absence from tennis preceding and following the birth of her daughter, turned heads when she hit the court at Roland Garros with a superhero-looking black Nike bodysuit with a red waistband.

“All the moms out there that had a tough pregnancy and have to come back and try to be fierce, in a middle of everything … that’s what this represents,” Williams said. “You can’t beat a cat suit, right?”

Williams showed some rust in her first set, falling behind 3-0 to start the tiebreaker. But she claimed the next six points on her way to eventually claiming the set and showed much better in a lengthy second set that included five breaks of serve. Pliskova struck 15 aces in the loss, the most by any WTA player against Williams since 2009.

“I think the match went well. It wasn’t an easy match, because the begin-

Wood said. “Cassidy is an extremely good player. … She had some very big wins early in the season and when we went to Chattanooga, she had some big wins as well.”

The semifinals match against Lambert, as Rebol narrated it, was one of North’s most-grueling of the season. Each player was putting excruciating emphasis on every point, and Rebol’s own match was headed to a third set before the Longhorn’s clinched the state championship berth.

Rebol lost her first set in a tiebreaker, 7-4, before she tied the second set at 3-3 when play was stopped.

“Everyone was out there tired, but we were all out there trying to pick each other up,” Rebol said. “It definitely motivates me, but we’re going to come back stronger next year for sure.”

draw of 256 players.

“It’s fun when you’re with your friends,” Montroy said.

Montroy trains at Summit Chase Country Club under former Georgia Gwinnett College standout Matius Hadem. The Grizzlies men’s tennis team recently clinched its fifth NAIA championship.

“Having a coach like him, it’s amazing,” Montroy said.

Montroy hopes to sign in the near future. He’s in contact with a few local programs at Georgia State and Kennesaw State. He hopes to raise his 3.5 GPA with two semesters of straight A’s in his senior year at Brookwood.

“I definitely want to play here again, especially in my senior year,” Montroy said. “We definitely have a chance at state this year.”

ning was so many aces,” Williams said afterward.

“I knew that after her first game of serving, I said, ‘Okay, I have to serve really well today. I need to really be on my game serving-wise, because there’s not going to be a tremendous amount of rallies.’”

Williams will next face 17th-seeded Australian Ashleigh Barty, who bested Russian Natalia Vikhlyantseva 6-3, 6-1.

Russian Maria Sharapova, the No. 28 seed, was also victorious on the day.

The two-time French Open champion got her first win at the event since 2015 with a 6-1, 4-6, 6-3 win over Dutch qualifier Richel Hogenkamp that saw her come back from 3-0 down in the third set to avoid the upset.

“I had a really good start, and I feel like I got very impatient in the

second set for not many reasons,” Sharapova said.

“She was becoming a little bit more consistent, and I think I lost a little bit of pace on my ball, but I finished out six straight games. I think if there is any way to turn that match around, it’s that way.”

The top seed in action on the day, No. 3 Garbine Muguruza of Spain, ousted Russian Svetlana Kuznetsova 7-6 (0), 6-2.

Other seeded players to advance include Frenchwoman Caroline Garcia (7), Germans Julia Goerges (11) and Angelique Kerber (12), Dutchwoman Kiki Bertens (18), Australian Daria Gavrilova (24), China’s Zhang Shuai (27) and Russian Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova (30).

No seeds fell on the day.

Gayle back in familiar place as GCSL head coach

By Will Hammock will.hammock@ gwinnettdailypost.com

Out of the Gwinnett County Public Schools system as a teacher briefly when he took a job in nearby Forsyth County, Jack Gayle found himself in another rare position — no longer coaching in the Gwinnett County Swim League.

The brief span was the only time he hadn’t played a role in the league since he was a young swimmer in elementary school.

“I was out of the coaching game a couple of years,” the Parkview alum said.

Now he’s back.

Gayle helped some with the Flowers Crossing GCSL team last summer, then became head coach of the team this year. It makes sense for him on multiple fronts, not only because he enjoys it but also because the summer league talent helps his other job as the head swimming and diving coach at Brookwood.

“I really wanted to (get back into GCSL coaching),” said Gayle, who won boys and girls high school state titles earlier this year in his first season at Brookwood. “When I got the Brookwood position, my No. 1 priority was, I have to get back into

Jack Gayle poses for a photo after winning this year’s high school state championship with Brookwood. After a brief hiatus, Gayle is back as a Gwinnett County Swim League head coach. (Special photo)

summer league because the summer league teams are what makes Gwinnett County swimming so great. Obviously, I’ve got a vested interest in how good Brookwood is. The more kids we can get excited when they’re young, the better we’ll be at the high school level.”

That philosophy holds true throughout Gwin-

nett’s giant summer league, which features a good number of high school coaches who pull double duty in the summer.

Gayle is used to the summer coaching work, having started his career as a coach with Montclair (now Bright Water) when he was just 20. Through the years, he coached at Woods of Parkview,

Snellville, Edgewater and Hanarry Swim and Racquet before his hiatus.

Not much has changed since he returned this year with the steady league.

“There are just good people (in the league),” Gayle said. “The Gwinnett County summer league is a giant, special organization that’s been going on forever. I don’t know if it’s still the biggest in nation.

I know it was at one time.

It’s amazing. It takes some dedicated, usually lifelong swimmers to make it happen, to run the teams.

I know we’ve had a lot of swimmers, alumni do it.

And I see a lot of familiar faces — Rick Creed, the Reasons (Jim and Dave) — all the people you see at high school meets.”

Gayle’s two daughters, 12-year-old Ella and 8-year-old Hallie, both swim for him at Flowers Crossing, one of many Brookwood cluster teams whose young swimmers feed into his high school program. His current team has grown to nearly 180 swimmers for this summer.

“It’s really exciting because we grew by almost 50 swimmers this year and almost all of them are little kids, (7- and 8-yearolds),” Gayle said. “Our 7-8 groups have something like 62 swimmers. A lot of them are new, new families

and kids. It’s great because you’re getting them into the sport. They’re excited, willing to learn. It’s more about the fun and the friendship. I’m not beating them up as bad as I do my high-schoolers.”

Those youngsters, ideally for Gayle, will be Brookwood High School swimmers in the future, a process that fuels high school swimming success throughout the county.

“I’m glad to be back (as head coach),” Gayle said. “It feels like no time has passed. The summer league’s just been part of my life since I was 9 years old. Now 30 years later, I’m still doing it. But it’s a lot of fun and it’s fun to share it with those young kids. It’s fun to watch those kids who are 7 and 8 and then they’ll walk into the doors at 14 at Brookwood. You never know who the next superstar will be.”

GCSL launches foster child scholarships Gwinnett County is home to more than 500 foster children, many who don’t have access to swimming programs. To help them, the GCSL launched a scholarship program this summer.

The league planned to assist in registration fees for 10 local foster children

&

FIERCE FEARLESS

in the summer, allowing them to be part of a sports team and teaching them the life-saving skill of swimming. It exceeded the goal of 10 foster children through registration, and helped out 12 youngsters with scholarships this summer.

The GCSL summer league sponsors made the foster children scholarships happen, league officials said.

Another big summer on deck Despite plenty of other athletic options, the GCSL has maintained its stronghold in the summer months.

The league features more than 6,000 swimmers on 43 teams, mostly neighborhood-based, this season. Swimmers 18 and younger are eligible to participate in the GCSL, which holds its first meets of the season Thursday evening.

Once again, the season concludes with the county championship meet at Georgia Tech’s McAuley Aquatic Center. The county meet dates are July 14-15. Wild Timber is the defending league champion, winning its first county championship last summer.
