DRAMATIC

INCREASE

The Aurora Theatre’s expansion in Lawrenceville could include an exterior design that seemingly echoes famous performing arts venues such as the Kennedy Center and Lincoln Center.

City officials unveiled concept design plans for the theatre’s $26 million expansion at the Lawrenceville City Council meeting Monday night.

The concept designs show the direction that officials are moving in on the project, although the designs could still change.

“Concepts mean it is an idea; it is the first steps toward finishing the design,” Croft and Associates Program Manager Kip Stokes told the City Council.

“By no means is what you’re seeing the final aspect of the project, but it is a good start.”

The 50,000-square-foot facility will have new offices, education area and stages — including a 525-seat main stage that is expected to be one of the largest live performing arts stages in

Norcross resident Rickia Jordan has learned happiness in work is more important than the money you make. Jordan, who walked away from an engineering job after two years, has spent the last eight years doing what she loves — teaching.

The desire to teach is something that is in Jordan’s family. Her mother and an aunt are early childhood educators. Her other aunt is a director at one of the Sheltering Arm Rickia locations around the metro Jordan Atlanta area.

“It’s really rooted into my family, even though I came out of school with a bachelor’s degree in engineering,” Jordan said.

Get Leg and Foot Pain Under Control with an Amazing New Cream A patented relief cream stands to help millions of Americans crippled from the side effects 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.

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.

Study Finds Restoring Sensation the Key To Effective, Long Lasting Relief 546716-1

With the conclusion of their latest human clinical use survey trial,

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.

Dr. Esber and his team are 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

Targets Nerve Damage Right Below the Skins Surface Diabasens is a topical cream that is to be applied to your legs and feet twice

a day for the first two weeks 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.

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.

Celebrity TV Doctor Reveals Secret to Reversing Memory Loss Exclusive for Local Readers; FREE Supply of Amazing ‘Fast Acting’ Memory Pill Available for the next 48-hours

By Daniel Ward Sr. Associated Health Press

AHP – Imagine a ‘fast acting’ memory solution that can help you regain memory, energy, and focus that you experienced in your youth.

Then think of how great it would be to put an end to those ‘embarrassing forgetful moments’.

Well there’s no reason to imagine, a team of scientists has developed an amazing ‘fast acting’ memory pill that restores memory in just days and reverses age- Secret to reversing age-related memory loss was related memory loss. recently demonstrated by Celebrity TV Doctor Seniors around the ing the brain cells for country are now using restored memory, focus, this amazing new ‘fast and clarity. acting’ memory pill senFortunately for people sation called Nuvix. who suffer from ageA special free supply related memory probhas been made available. lems this new solution Local readers are eligible has been clinically tested to get an extra free supand proven to protect ply of Nuvix while supthe brain against the plies last. memory destroying Nuvix was developed brain plaques. exclusively for people It’s also shown to who suffer from age-re‘instantly’ supercharge lated memory problems. brain function and reAnd they’re getting reverse age-related mental sults in a matter of days decline. after taking the recommended dosage.

Clinical Results “They’re reclaiming their independence and con�idence, refusing to let memory problems, embarrassing forgetfulness, and slow thinking ruin their daily activities,” said L.P. Barnes, President of Nolan Laboratories – the makers of the new ‘fast acting’ memory pill.

Show Nuvix Works in Real Time

‘The Dr. Oz Show’ recently featured some of the top memory experts, doctors, and scientists from around the world.

They revealed the secret to reversing age-related memory loss.

They demonstrated how age-related memory loss is caused in the brain by a little-known memory destroying ‘brain plaque’ called amyloid.

He referred to these ‘sticky’ memory destroying brain plaques as, “Sap on the powerlines of your brain”! They act as sap by blocking vital oxygen and nutrients from getting into your brain cells.

By doing so, it causes your brain cells to die off. Over time, it can rob you of your memory, your ability to think straight, and other mental abilities.

The exciting new memory pill called Nuvix contains a remarkable active ingredient that was featured on the show.

In another large study that involved 176 hospitals… and 2,044 patients who had severe age-related memory problems. The study showed that within 28 days, users reported a dramatic improvement in both short-term and long-term memory.

Even more stunning was the fact that 71% of them showed no cognitive decline or forgetfulness after just 6 months of continued daily use.

Nuvix is a simple pill you take once per day.

Once inside your body it goes to work re-energizing brain cells that are essential for restoring memory.

Nuvix active ingredient works in a remarkable process of clearing away toxic memory destroying ‘brain plaques’ and preventing new formations.

This entire process clears existing plaques… prevents the formation of new plaques… and promotes the production of new brain cell connections for restored memory.

What Dr. Peter Grossman Says About Nuvix

“Nuvix works wonders for age-related memory problems. I would highly recommend Nuvix for memory loss and age-related mental decline. The studies provided show dramatic improvement in memory and thinking ability. It’s truly an amazing breakthrough for memory. It’s easy to use, convenient, safe, and effective.” Dr. Peter Grossman, M.D. Philadelphia, PA.

“We are so excited that Rickia has been selected as one of the Top 3 Georgia Pre-K Teacher of the Year Finalists,” Sheltering Arms President and CEO Blythe Keeler Robinson said. “She’s truly an amazing teacher, and we are so fortunate to have her on our team.”

A normal day for her starts at 6:50 a.m. with planning before her students arrive. The class will have breakfast meetings and activities that include brushing their teeth and large group literacy before going outside for exercise. Typical things such as story time, lunch and naps all are built into the daily schedule before children begin to leave at 3 p.m.

“The program’s (Georgia’s Pre-K Program) success can be attributed directly to the outstanding Pre-K teachers and assistants who implement this daily,” Commissioner Jacobs said.

“This is a small way for us to recognize their efforts.”

Georgia’s Pre-K Program Teachers of the Year will be announced in September with one winner coming from a public school system and another from a private child care center.

protecting and providing safety but not providing the disciplinary part.”

Candidates showed an agreement on the stance of a more flexible punishment policy for students when asked whether they support a zero tolerance policy, Positive Behavior Invention and Support model or restorative justice disciplinary model.

Williams, a school counselor; Taylor, a former school principal; and Ranft all agreed there is a need for balance with punishment.

“I have used all three methods, and it depends on what the infractions are,” Taylor said. “It’s all about establishing relationships with the children. Once you get to know the children that is how you can improve the situation.”

Ranft said punishment likewise should be based on the offense, not a set, rigid standard.

“There are always going to be offenses that require that discipline such as weapons in school,” Ranft said. “Then there are opportunities to have restorative justice as well. It’s a sliding scale and important that we as individuals use our best judgment.”

Early voting for the primaries will continue until May 18 at the Gwinnett Board of Voter Registrations and Elections Office and at seven different locations — Bogan Park Community Recreation Center, Dacula Park Activity Building, George Pierce Park Community Recreation Center, Lenora Park Gym, Lucky Shoals Park Gym, Mountain Park Activity Building and Shorty Howell Park Activity Building from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. May 12 and May 14 through 18.

Wendy’s unveils ‘smart building’ in new Lawrenceville location

BY TREVOR MCNABOE trevor.mcnaboe @gwinnettdailypost.com

Monday’s ribbon-cutting not only celebrated the newest Wendy’s location at 690 Duluth Highway in Lawrenceville, but also gave customers a look into what the future of casual dining will be.

According to Zack Kollias, Atlanta division vice president for Wendy’s, the restaurant, which sits on a site formerly occupied by a Wells Fargo bank, has become one of the thousands of “smart buildings” the chain has rolled out over the past few years.

“The Wendy’s design is always evolving,” Kollias said. “We started to redesign stores around five years ago with around 50 percent of our stores having this look and image.”

The restaurant has a neomodern look inside.

One of the changes the restaurant unveiled Monday is a new way to order food — from a kiosk. In addition to going up to the counter to order, customers can use one of the three ordering kiosks placed around the restaurant. The touchscreen ordering system allows customers to place their order and pay with a credit card without having to wait in line at the counter.

“It’s a very interesting piece of technology that has been going around the industry for a while,” Kollias said. “There is a group of people that prefer that type of ordering mechanism.”

According to Kollias, the typical Wendy’s restaurant does about 30 percent of its business from customers coming inside and sitting down to eat.

“The people that come

in really want to dine in,” Kollias said. “So that 30 percent deserves the kind of experience they are searching for. That’s one of the reasons we have free Wi-Fi.” To give the restaurant a unique look, there is a variety of seating options to choose from, including booths, tables, high-top seating and lounge chairs placed next to a mock fireplace.

“It gives us flexibility, and the installation of the fireplace, although not real, gives the place a warm atmosphere,” Kollias said.

“People can lounge around and we’re just trying to give people different choices in the restaurant.”

Hoover Foods Inc., a Suwanee-based franchisee

of Wendy’s International LLC, is the investing group that brought the new restaurant site to Lawrenceville.

One of the goals of Hoover Foods was to keep the restaurant design within the confines of the previous building, while also providing a new look to the area.

“It’s very exciting they chose to be in this facility,” Lawrenceville Mayor Judy Jordan Johnson said.

“It’s just a repurpose of an old building that makes it so vibrant and new. This building is incredible and has a lot of great features inside.”

“I hope the residents enjoy it,” she said. “This is just an addition to the gateway of our city. We’re very excited to have this group with us.”

Winfred graduated from Rankin High School in 1951. Following graduation, he served two years in the United States Coast Guard. Soon after, he met the love of his life, Barbara Harrelson, and they were happily married for sixty one years. He was immediately adopted into the Harrelson clan and he loved Barbara’s siblings, Dexter and Frank Harrelson, and Marie Southern.

Winfred was a man of earnest faith and was deeply devoted to his family. He loved the Lord with all his heart and graciously shared the love of Christ with all who knew him. Even in his last hours, he challenged his family to always show their love for one another.

She was born on June 9, 1935, in Lawrenceville, GA, to Charles and Linnie Allen. Gladys was loving and kind. She always worked hard and never hesitated to help anyone in need. Cooking was a joy to her, and no one could rival her fried chicken. She married the love of her life, James Leon Kimbro, on August 19, 1955, and their marriage was a living testimony to everyone.

She graduated from Dacula High School, began her job at Sears Roebuck in Atlanta in 1954, worked alongside her sister, Ruth, in Brown’s Superette, and then worked in the cafeteria at Lanier Middle School. After retiring from the school system, she and her husband babysat children, but they were more like grandparents to the children, building loving, lasting relationships with them and their families.

She had a strong faith, and looked forward to attending Sunday school each Sunday at First Baptist Buford, and loved serving on the greeting committee.

She was an Elvis Presley fan to the core, and jumped at any opportunity to take a trip to Pigeon Forge to see her favorite Elvis impersonator, Lou Vuto.

She was a loving wife for over 62 years, and the best momma and Memaw anyone could ever hope to have. Those who were blessed to know her will forever be inspired by her love for the Lord and her unconditional love for others.

She is survived by her loving husband, James Leon Kimbro of Buford, GA; children: Sherri Vining, Linda (Gary) Chalacoff; grandchildren: Nicole (Johnathan) Whitlow, Taylor Nichols, Jacob Chalacoff, and Makayla Chalacoff; great grandchildren: Brylee Bailey; sister: Ruth Brown; Inlaws: Ruby Mathis, Wilma (Jerry) Smith, Joann Kimbro and Lenora Allen; as well as many nieces and nephews.

Simpson principal honored with PTA Life Achievement Award

BY TREVOR MCNABOE trevor.mcnaboe @gwinnettdailypost.com

Simpson Elementary School Principal Bron Gayna Schmit was honored with the 2018 Life Achievement Award, the highest honor given to Parent Teacher As-

sociation members and leaders by the National PTA, the school announced Tuesday.

The National PTA Life Achievement Award recognizes a person who lives out his or her commitment to children on a daily basis and tirelessly advocates for children’s education, health

and well-being.

“We are thrilled for our principal to be recognized on a national level for the incredible level of dedication she demonstrates on behalf of the Simpson student body on a daily basis,” Simpson Elementary PTA CoPresident Susan Moss said.

“Simpson is widely recognized as a high-achieving, well performing school and so much of this stems directly from the solid vision and deeply cemented culture of caring Ms. Schmit has instilled during her amazing tenure at the school.”

Schmit, who has been principal at the Peachtree Corners school for 14 years, was recognized at a schoolwide PTA meeting on April 30, where the entire kindergarten sang to help celebrate.

Schmit has served Simpson Elementary since 2004 and has been an educator for 39 years.

“Bron Gayna (Schmit) is truly the epitome of what the National PTA Life Achievement Award was created to represent,” Co-President Leyani Redditi said. “Her talent and true commitment to the children of Peachtree Corners is evident not only in the school’s outstanding performance record, but in the happy smiles of the

“We are already building and creating partnerships that are going to be helpful in expanding this facility and making sure it’s used every day of the week and, with GGC, 24/7,” he said. “We’ll be able to do things we’ve never been able to do in conjunction with the community and have opportunities to be there.

Construction is expected to begin in early 2019 with a targeted completion date in the middle of 2020. A request for proposals for construction management services has been issued and city officials expect to chose a contractor for the project within the next two months.

Rodriguez said that while the new facility will have several features for different uses, it will also open the opportunity for new artistic endeavours in Lawrenceville.

“We’ll be able to continue to do the classic work that we have done year-in and year-out, plays that people find very recognizable, musicals that everyone knows,” he said. “But beyond that, we now will have the facilities where we can bring in creative teams and work with them in developing new work, new musicals, things that can be original to Lawrenceville.”

Trump’s wall of protection may be falling The “wall of protection” conservative media has erected around President Trump may be crumbling.

Fox News Channel, whose opinion programs — especially Sean Hannity’s — have been staunch defenders (some critics say mouthpieces) for the president, and The Wall Street Journal, which editorially has been generally supportive of the president’s policies, last week went on the attack.

In a lengthy commentary, Fox News anchor Neil Cavuto directly addressed the Cal president, Thomas noting he had “promised to drain the swamp, but you are muddying the waters.” The reference was to Trump’s admission that he authorized a $130,000 payoff to adult film star “Stormy Daniels” to secure her silence about an alleged one-night stand she had with him. This after vehemently denying the incident ever happened. Cavuto also cited numerous other false claims, comments, charges and accusations made by the president.

A lead editorial in last Friday’s Wall Street Journal addressed those who say they don’t care about the president’s personal life, but are only interested in his policies, which they see as working: “But Mr. Trump’s public deceptions are surely relevant to his job as president, and the attempted cover-up has done greater harm than any affair would have. Mr. Trump asked Americans, not least his supporters, to believe his claims about the payments.

They were false and conveniently so in putting the onus on (attorney Michael Cohen). Now, as more of the story has emerged, he wants everyone to believe a new story that he could have told the first time.”

Does Trump sound like Chicken Little, who cried, “the sky is falling” so many times that no one believed him when the sky actually did fall?

The Journal ends on this disturbing note: “Mr. Trump is compiling a record that increases the likelihood that few will believe him during a genuine crisis — say, a dispute over speaking with special counsel Robert Mueller or a nuclear showdown with Kim Jong Un. Mr. Trump should worry that Americans will stop believing anything he says.”

This is all so unnecessary. So many good things are happening. For the first time since December 2000, the U.S. unemployment rate has fallen below 4 percent, black and Hispanic unemployment rates hit record lows in April, there is rising consumer confidence, the forthcoming meeting with Kim Jong Un and a new Rasmussen Reports poll showing the president’s approval rating at 51 percent.

Conservatives can argue with some credibility that the media and the rest of the establishment hate the president and want to see him impeached, but he is increasingly giving them the rope to hang him.

Will this matter to hardcore Trump supporters? And what about the evangelicals who so strongly supported — and mostly continue to support — the president? These were the ones who said character matters. I’m betting their hatred of Washington, the media and Democrats will remain virulent. How do I know this? Because whenever I have criticized them for their blanket pardon of anything and everything the president has done or remark that their support runs antithetical to their core religious beliefs they write to criticize me.

Will it make a difference in the coming midterm elections? It didn’t in 2016, but this time Hillary Clinton won’t be on the ballot for conservatives to vote against. And Democrats, don’t forget, thought they had that election in the bag for her, as they do this upcoming election cycle and in 2020.

For some, though, the exhaustion factor may be setting it. When Fox News and The Wall Street Journal effectively call out the president for lying to the American people, where do Trump supporters go for their red meat?

Readers may email Cal Thomas at tcaeditors@tribpub.com.

Should we crucify Trump or Barabbas?

The Trump Haters hate on and on and …

The deranged hatred of Donald Trump by the left and the media is so strong it is never going to stop. If they had the chance, I actually think the Democrats would put a crown of thorns on Trump’s head, make him carry his own cross and send him to be crucified. On national TV. With Rachel Maddow, Chuck Todd and Jimmy Kimmel doing the play-by-play.

Of course, if the Democrat mob was given the choice between letting Barabbas the murderer or Trump the president go free, there’d be no doubt who they’d choose.

Crucify Him! Crucify Him! He’s not one of us! He’s not a career politician! Crucify him!

He’s the one who slayed St. Hillary!

A literal crucifixion of the president isn’t too likely, I guess, no matter how hard the media prayed.

In the media it’s all BadTrump-All-the-Time. The entertainment and journalism arms of the major mainstream media, except for Fox, have essentially become the alt-left.

They are almost as hysterical, unfair, unbalanced, and hateful as the conspiracy-minded alt-right media were under

Michael Reagan Obama.

But the alt-right was tiny. It was out on the fringe. It was obsessed with crazy things like Obama’s birthplace, his radical left wing friends and his serial apologizing for America.

The “respectable” alt-left mainstream anti-Trump media is the political equivalent of the anti-Obama alt-right. They are just as hysterical, biased and obsessed with finding anything in Trump’s past or present that might bring him down. No outlandish conspiracy theory, no half-assed accusation of lawbreaking by a Democrat, no leaked uncorroborated information by an anonymous source is too small for our biased journalists to beat us to death with on the front page.

If the liberal media can’t prove President Trump’s done anything seriously wrong, which is the case so far, they

attack or smear any celebrity, woman or black person who supports him or works for his administration. Roseanne Barr got her media drubbing for having the nerve to stand up for Trump last month. Now it’s Kanye West’s turn to be trashed for daring to leave the Democrat Party plantation.

He’s been misinterpreted and disowned for standing up for Trump, for urging modern blacks not to be held back by a slave mentality and for quoting the great black conservative economist and author, Thomas Sowell. This week one of the top thugs in the Crips publicly urged gang members to “mess” up Kanye for holding his politically incorrect opinions.

The mainstream media reaction to that threat on Kanye’s life so far? Crickets.

Meanwhile, in news that matters, North Korea is talking denuclearization, making peace with South Korea after 70 years and letting three American prisoners go free as a good gesture. At home in America, unemployment rates for blacks, Latinos and women are down. Those accomplishments aren’t bigger news stories than porn “performer” Stormy Daniels’ attorney’s 37th appearance on CNN?

Not if Donald Trump had anything to do with them. The liberal media and the Washington-New York-Hollywood Axis of Evil they serve won’t let good news about Trump be heard because they hate him too much. He broke the political system they loved — the racket that said only career politicians can run for office, not regular human beings.

The same people who hate Trump hated my dad for many of the same reasons. He wasn’t one of them. He was a nonpolitician. He was going to start World War III. He was an empty suit.

The Democrats and the MSM hated Ronald Reagan until it was no longer politically correct to hate him — because he died. Then they said they loved him. The people who hate President Trump will never love him, alive or crucified.

They’ll always choose Barabbas.

judicial candidates 2018

Crowded field looks to fill vacating judges’ seats

By IsaBel HugHes

isabel.hughes @gwinnettdailypost.com

Though the scales of justice are intended to be balanced in the court system, this election season, Gwinnett County Superior and State Court judge candidates are emphasizing their commitment to keeping the justice system equitable and accessible for all.

The majority of the candidates — eight of whom are running for two superior court seats and two who are running for Gwinnett County State Court Judge — recently told the Daily Post that their commitment to equity is also wrapped up in their desire to give back to the community in a meaningful way.

Gwinnett County Superior Court candidates stress diversity, protecting the community One of the Superior Court seats is open this year because of Judge Debra Turner’s decision to retire.

That opening has drawn three candidates who hope to join the judiciary.

One of those candidates, B.T. Parker, said having equity means having a court that looks like the county — diverse.

“Gwinnett County has more than 60 percent of its residents who are black, Latino or Asian, which is a dramatic shift from the community that was almost exclusively white a few decades ago,” Parker said.

“Gwinnett County is 200 years old this year, yet has never had a black elected judge on the bench. Thus, there is the perception that justice is not blind in Gwinnett County, and I believe a Superior Court that looks more like the population of Gwinnett would be better able to establish trust with the people who come before the court every day.”

Parker also said she is running because the county needs a judge with a “servant’s heart” and someone who wants to make the judicial process more effective by taking advantage of technologies that would speed up the document filing processes.

She also said she wants to “streamline” the divorce process so it doesn’t drag out for months or even years.

Parker’s opponent, Wesley Person, also said the court should be more efficient, but he also said he would work to ensure people who go through the courts understand common court procedures and sentencing so they don’t feel like they are being “rushed through” the system.

Person said he also wants to provide alternatives to conventional sentencing.

“As I’ve listened to the citizens of Gwinnett, it seems as though the bench has had a narrow perspective,” he said. “Gwinnett County is an increasingly diverse county with different cultural backgrounds and in my experience in working directly with citizens from these communities it is important that our sentencing process takes those cultural sensitivities into consideration.”

The third candidate, Tracie Cason, also said there is a general lack of knowledge of how the court system works and why it works the way it does, and that “society may be losing confidence in our system and, I fear, respect” as a result.

“I want to get out into the community and demystify the system and make sure that our citizens know that the system is there for them and will treat them with respect and dignity and give them an opportunity to be heard,” she said. “I have dedicated my entire career to protecting our community and making sure that we are safe and strong. I have further concentrated my career

on protecting our children.

I want to continue to make sure that the most vulnerable among us are kept safewhether that’s in the criminal system or the civil system.”

Davis’ potential replacements focus on accountability courts, youth The other contested Superior Court seat is also open this year, as Judge Tom Davis retires from the bench.

The candidates seeking to replace Davis have taken notice of a trend where, although the majority of Gwinnett County residents are between the ages of 18 and 65, nearly a third of the county is made up of youth under the age of 18.

“One of the biggest issues facing our legal system is the treatment of youthful offenders who find themselves charged with felony crimes,” said candidate Veronica Cope. “At the age of 17, these youth are considered adults, though we know that these children are far from being adults mentally or emotionally. Thus, at a young age, we begin to see a revolving door for our youth

at our jails and prisons once they have a felony conviction and recidivism rates continue to grow at an all-time high.”

Cope would like to combat that with a “Second Chance Teen Court for nonviolent youthful offenders between the ages of 17-21.”

It would be collaboration between the courts, Gwinnett County Public Schools and technical and community colleges where participants could obtain a high school diploma and a skill or trade that would allow them to make a livable wage and not return to a world of crime.

The court, Cope said, would work in conjunction with the DUI court, drug court and mental health court to provide substance abuse treatment and counseling services needed by the participants in the hopes of giving youth a chance to succeed.

Meanwhile, several other candidates would like to see an increase in accountability courts, such as Gwinnett’s drug court.

Tracey Mason, the only candidate with prior judicial experience — she previously

He has authored 32

served as a Municipal Court Judge in Duluth — said accountability courts “get at the root of some of the problems instead of just the event (that occurred), which might be a symptom of the problem.”

“I have this concept that when an issue that’s ripe for that kind of court appears before a judge, the (judge) should seriously consider that alternative option,” Mason said. “If you have that opportunity to create a better life for that person and a better society, you should take it, because those courts can help these people.”

Jon Setzer, the youngest of the candidates for Davis’ seat, said judges need to “understand the problems that exist within the system” to lower recidivism and ensure that everyone who comes through the system is “treated justly and fairly.”

To ensure that equity, Setzer said judges need to have a way to manage their “vast number of cases,” many of which, he said, are “quite challenging.”

“It is a delicate balancing act to ensure that each citizen feels that he or she had his day in court while moving the overall caseload along at an efficient pace,” Setzer said. “Being able to manage such a caseload will help to give each person who comes into the courtroom the feeling that they have been treated fairly and allow the judge presiding over the courtroom to better be able to protect the community.”

There are tools and technologies, however, that judges and courts can use to be more efficient, which candidate John Burdges said he would like to see implemented in Gwinnett.

“The volume of cases within the legal system managed daily by all attorneys continues to be a major challenge,” Burdges said.

“I would like to see a legal system-wide implementation of innovative and effective electronic communication

systems that would allow attorneys to notify the court by email of a ‘ready for trial’ status, rather than mandating a personal court appearance by an attorney and his or her client. Many courts have advanced their technology system to include this capability that have proven to be extremely cost effective and time saving.”

Cope added that she, too, would like to implement more technology, specifically electronic filing.

“This would allow filings of pleadings and other documents to be done electronically thus saving the time and expense of driving to the courthouse for filings,” she said. “It would also allow remote public access to many records.”

Jason Park, who is also running for Davis’ seat, echoed his fellow candidates, though added that at the end of the day, a judge’s goal is to protect the community.

“We must continue to ensure that our court system is efficient with time and tax dollars, while being fair and respectful to all,” Park said.

“That is what I will strive to do. However, I believe that the greatest need is to elect a judge with extensive knowledge of and experience in the law, who will work hard and who will serve with the courage to do what is right when applying the law.

I have devoted my career to serving our community as a prosecutor where I have worked every day in Superior Court to protect our families and community. Running for judge is all about continuing that service.”

State Court candidates: veterans, accountability courts a priority Two candidates running for Gwinnett County State Court Judge Joseph Iannazzone’s seat have similar messages: they want to do more for veterans and implement more accountability courts in Gwinnett’s judicial system.

“I am running in order to support and serve our veteran’s,” Tyler said. “I want to create a Veteran’s Accountability Court out of respect for our veterans’ sacrifice, and to honor the memory of a trusted and dear friend, Brian Danis. Danis and I served together in combat as paratroopers in the same airborne infantry platoon …

He received a full disability pension for combat related injuries, and on February 26, 2016, without reaching out to his brother, or to any of us who served with him in combat, took his own life.

“Serving our Veteran’s Accountability Court will be my way of honoring his memory and serving our veterans.”

Ronda Colvin-Leary, Tyler’s opponent, said she, too, feels strongly about helping veterans, as well as others with mental illnesses.

“In our legal system, there is a rise in the number of people suffering from mental illness, including our veterans,” Colvin-Leary said. “Sometimes, the main reason a person may have committed and been charged with a criminal offense is because of the underlying fact that they are suffering, knowingly or unknowingly, from a mental illness. A main concern is how to adequately and properly address the core cause in an effort to treat the underlying problem.”

One way to address the problem, Colvin-Leary said, is to look at “appropriate and adequate accountability courts.”

“Accountability courts serve two folds,” she said.

“First, it helps resolve the criminal case. Secondly, it addresses and treats the underlying mental condition.

This helps the individual, their family and the community as a whole.”

GAC boys lacrosse rallies to beat Lovett

By Ken Chrzanowski Staff Correspondent

NORCROSS — A year after graduating 14 seniors, Greater Atlanta Christian boys lacrosse coach Tim Ball didn’t know what his team would do when it faced adversity. Wednesday night, in the first round of the Class A-AAAAA boys state tournament, his Spartans overcame an early deficit to defeat Lovett 9-7 and advance to host McIntosh in the second round.

“That was the first time we have ever defeated Lovett,” Ball said. “Lovett is one of the best programs in the state, one that we all look up to, so I’m grateful for the win.”

Greater Atlanta Christian (16-3) found itself in an early hole. Lovett goalie Charlie Higgins made several saves and the Lions were able to convert their scoring opportunities, racing out to a 3-0 lead with just 3:44 elapsed in the first quarter.

The Spartans received a piece of good fortune as Trey Wood recovered a botched clearing attempt by the Lions.

Standing seven yards from Higgins, Wood buried the shot over the goalie’s shoulder to pull GAC within 3-1.

Lovett (12-6), however, was able to get that goal back a minute later when Aiden Letter beat Spartans goalie Peter Klueber for a 4-1 lead which held through the end of the quarter.

GAC recovered nicely from the rough start, scoring three unanswered goals and holding the Lions without a goal.

Wood scored 2:35 into the period to get the comeback started. Then while Lovett was down a man, Michael Malone scored from 12 yards out to bring the Spartans within one. A mere 13 seconds later, Josh Rose scored to knot the score, which is how it stood until halftime.

A key in the game was the consistent dins provided by Nick Jones on faceoffs.

Jones ended the game with 15 draw controls and Ball couldn’t say enough about his senior captain.

“Nick wins 75 percent of the time,” Ball said. “Plus he’s a great captain.

Always talking to the other players, keeping them loose. A real leader.”

Josh Rose gave GAC its first lead 1:19 into the third quarter on a left-handed shot that beat Higgins. However, Quinn O’ Donnell scored twice to put the Lions back up. On his first goal, O’Donnell hid behind a GAC player as Klueber tried to clear. The Lovett junior intercepted the pass and easily beat an out-of-position Klueber to tie the score. With less than 3 minutes left in the third, O’Donnell scored on a wraparound goal, just as he had in the first quarter to give the Lions a 6-5 advantage heading into the final quarter.

Michael Malone scored for the Spartans but Emilio Ferrara gave Lovett the lead back when he intercepted a clearing attempt five yards from the goal and easily scored.

Wood then put his stamp on the game with a pair of goals that gave GAC a lead See GAC, Page 13A

Peachtree Ridge boys’ improbable run ends

By Mitchell Northam Staff Correspondent

CUMMING — When the final whistle blew on their season, several players from Peachtree Ridge High School’s soccer team collapsed on the pitch. Tears came for many of them, and they pulled their jerseys over their faces to hide their emotions.

The semifinals were the furthest the Lions had ever been in the Class AAAAAAA playoffs, but their improbable run ended after they failed to respond to a late goal from the South Forsyth War Eagles in the 86th minute.

On a cloudy Tuesday night at War Eagle Stadium, the Peachtree Ridge’s playoff run ended with a 2-1 defeat to South Forsyth.

The semifinals were two rounds further than any boys soccer team from Peachtree Ridge had ever advanced.

And they competed in this game for 80 minutes of regulation and two periods of extra time. That, head coach Ryan Sutton thought, was something the Lions should be pleased with.

“I can’t explain how proud I am of these seniors.

They made history this year

The Peachtree Ridge sideline react to the winning goal scored by South Forsyth during Tuesday’s Class AAAAAAA state soccer semifinals game played at South Forsyth High School.

and it’s something we’ll never forget,” Sutton said.

“They’re all in tears, but I kept telling them to keep their heads held high. We represented our school, our region and Gwinnett County well. We were trying to win it for everybody. It was definitely a great year, but it’s a little sad right now.”

The final blow to Peachtree Ridge was dealt by the right foot of South Forsyth senior, Ryan Fierle.

South Forsyth junior center back PJ Mollenauer sent a long ball up the field and into the final third. Senior

defender Chris Mendelson took a touch and then fed a clean ball to Fierle, and he finished the play, slicing the ball past Peachtree Ridge keeper Paarth Desai.

The entire team rushed Fierle at the corner of the field, and the deluge of emotion swung momentum back in the War Eagle’s favor for the final four minutes.

“Chris flicked it on and I was able to take a touch and finish it. I couldn’t have done it without my teammates,” Fierle said. “We were trying to get a shot on goal early. I’m just happy to

help contribute to the win.”

Only a few minutes remained, but the Lions still had a chance to tie it and send the game into penalty kicks, an area of the game that they emerged victorious from just days ago against Walton.

Dalton Seckinger raced up the field with the ball in the 87th minute, but the ball was kicked away from him by a defender. In his frustration, Seckinger then fouled the player, earning the game’s lone yellow card. Up until See LIONS, Page 13A

Parkview wins physical match in PKs to reach state finals

By Will Hammock

will.hammock @gwinnettdailypost.com

LILBURN — Sara Halilhodzic’s post-match face was a good indicator of how Tuesday night’s Class AAAAAAA girls soccer semifinal went.

The Parkview goalkeeper sported a bandage that covered a large, bloody gash on top of her nose, broken in a sixth-minute collision and already discolored. Below that, she wore a huge grin.

The second-ranked Panthers won a thrilling and physical Final Four game with No. 1 Lassiter that went to penalty kicks tied 2-2 before the hosts won 7-6 in PKs. Halilhodzic stuffed the Trojans’ fourth attempt, playing a hero role for the second straight round for Parkview, which

also won its quarterfinal match via PKs. “We have a lot of confidence in Sara,” said Parkview’s Nieva Gaither, who scored an amazing goal in overtime, her 36th of the season to break Emma Carlson’s school record. “She’s an amazing keeper.”

Just as important were to Parkview’s 15th straight win were the kick-takers.

Gaither, Adi Adame, Sophie Boone, Damaris Gaines, Katelin Brown, Mariana Almanza and Narissa Gaither all converted PKs — the Panthers’ lone miss opened the third round of kicks. Halilhodzic made her save on Lassiter’s fourth attempt, evening things up until Lassiter’s eighth PK ricocheted off the post and sent the Parkview players into a frenzy, as well as

into Saturday’s 5 p.m. state final against No. 3 Milton at McEachern.

“I knew my team could do it,” Halilhodzic said. “After we missed a few (PKs) last game, we focused a little more on it rather than panicking.

That’s what I like about this team. We’re so calm and collected. If we make a mistake, we fix it. It’s not just panic.”

A second straight win on PKs was nerve-wracking for the Parkview supporters, but the shootout result was positive again.

“You hope the kids have the nerve to handle (PKs),” Parkview girls coach Judson Hamby said. “It doesn’t stress me out because I feel we do enough prep. But at the same time, you just Parkview’s Molly Hickman (8) battles Lassiter’s Mackenzie Ellis (13) during Tuesday’s

AREA 4-AAAAAAA GOLF CHAMPIONSHIPS

Mill Creek boys win area tourney

By Will Hammock

will.hammock @gwinnettdailypost.com

SNELLVILLE — Mill Creek boys golf’s ultimate goal, a repeat of last year’s state championship, has been clear from the start of the season.

First, the Hawks had to get there.

They did that Monday at Summit Chase Country Club, winning the Area 4-AAAAAAA Championships by 10 strokes over runner-up Brookwood, which was led by low medalist Anmol Jhangra. The victory qualified Mill Creek for state along with Brookwood, third-place Peachtree Ridge and fourth-place North Gwinnett.

“The main thing in this one is just make sure you’re in that top four and qualify (for state),” Mill Creek coach David Allen said.

SNELLVILLE — Collins Hill’s Jenny Bae and North Gwinnett’s girls team made statements with their outings Monday in the Area 4-AAAAAAA Championships at Summit Chase Country Club, posting victories and qualifying for the state championships.

Bae had the day’s low score with a 4-under-par 68, two shots lower than the boys medalist, while North showed why it is one of the state title favorites with a convincing team win.

Ahra Ko (71), Alice Acosta (74) and Lauren Maher (80) counted rounds for the Bulldogs, who won by 19 shots over runner-up Mill Creek. Ko tied for second individually with Peachtree Ridge’s Bridget Hoang and Acosta tied for fourth.

“We’ve known since early in the season, and Mill Creek wasn’t playing at full strength today, that Lambert, Mill Creek and us, it’s whoever plays the best on a given day,” Payne said.

GWINNETT STRIPERS

Allard struggles but Ruiz, Stripers bats bash

By David Friedlander

david.friedlander @gwinnettdailypost.com

LAWRENCEVILLE — From a standpoint of his stuff, Tuesday night’s game against the Charlotte Knights wasn’t the best of nights for Gwinnett Stripers pitcher Kolby Allard.

However, the Atlanta Braves prospect was good enough in six innings of work, and his teammates made sure he didn’t have to be at his best in an 8-1 Gwinnett victory before 1,721 fans at Coolray Field.

The Stripers pounded out 13 hits, including three from from Rio Ruiz and two each from Carlos Franco, Sean Kazmar Jr. and Atlanta third base prospect Austin Riley, with Franco driving in four runs to aid in Allard’s gutty performance.

The 20-year-old lefthander had control issues throughout the night, only throwing 55 strikes among his 92 pitches and walking three, but he battled through six innings, scattering eight hits and allowing one run with two strikeouts.

The one run he gave up was a first-inning RBI single to Patrick Leonard, one of five Charlotte hits in in the inning, which gave the Knights a quick 1-0 lead.

It also continued a pattern of first-inning struggles for Allard (2-1), who has an ERA of 10.50 (seven earned runs in six innings pitched) in the opening frame so far this season.

However, he allowed only three hits in five

shutout innings the rest of the way to lower his season ERA to 2.12.

“It’s something I’ve dealt with my entire career, honestly,” said Allard, whose ERA is 0.32 (1 ER in 28 IP) after the first inning this year, of his opening frame woes. “I’ve just got to go out there and execute pitches like I do the rest of the game. … The first inning stuff is something that I’m going to have to figure out. It’s obviously just as important as any other inning.

“I definitely didn’t have my best stuff (Tuesday) night, but it was good to go out and battle and put up as many zeroes as we could and keep the team in the game. … The offense did a really good job (Tuesday) night. I could’ve done a lot better in a lot of categories, so I’m glad the offense picked me up. …

Once I get through the first, I’m pretty confident going forward.”

Meanwhile, it didn’t take the Stripers’ bats to get that run back for Allard, and then some, against Charlotte starter Donny Roach (3-2).

Danny Santana, Ruiz and Riley opened the bottom of the first with consecutive singles, the later of which served as Riley’s first career Triple-A RBI in his second game since being promoted

by Atlanta from Double-A, to tie the game at 1-all.

Franco then followed with yet another single, for another run, which extended the Gwinnett lead to 3-1.

“I think we were a little more aggressive in the

count early on, especially with guys on (base),” said Ruiz, who finished the night 3-for-4 with a double and the RBI as the team’s designated hitter. “We got some good pitches to hit and we were able to drive those guys in. I think we just need to find a little consistency. We’ve got the right guys one through nine (in the batting order).

It doesn’t matter who’s playing that day. As long as we’ve got good pitches to hit, especially with guys on, we’ll be all right.”

The Stripers then put together another big inning in the bottom of the fourth, sending nine hitters to the plate with five more hits, including an RBI double by Ruiz, a two-run single by Franco and an RBI single

by Kazmar, to extend their lead to a comfortable 7-1.

Franco then drove in his fourth run of the night with a ground out to short in the bottom of the sixth, pushing the Stripers’ lead to 8-1 and his International League-leading RBI total to 25.

The Gwinnett bullpen then shut the door with David Peterson and Rex Brothers combining for three shutout innings, with only one hit and three strikeouts, to close out the win.

The two teams turn right around with the first of two early-morning games today at 10:35 a.m. in Game 3 of the four-game set, with the Stripers sending right-hander Andres Santiago (1-1, 4.03 ERA) against Charlotte right-hander Dylan Covey (2-1. 3.08).

Kazmar nearer to another Gwinnett franchise record

By David Friedlander david.friedlander @gwinnettdailypost.com

LAWRENCEVILLE — Already the owner of four Gwinnett Stripers franchise records, Sean Kazmar Jr. moved closer to another one during Tuesday’s 8-1 win over the Charlotte Knights at Coolray Field.

With his RBI single in the bottom of the fourth, the veteran infielder drove in his 184th run in a Gwinnett uniform, leaving him just 13 short of catching Ernesto Mejia’s mark of 199 RBIs for the franchise record since it moved from Richmond, Va., in 2009.

In addition, the 33-year-old Kazmar, who is the Gwinnett franchise leader in hits (456), doubles (95), games played (483) and at bats (1,681), is just nine runs scored away from catching Jose Constanza for the all-time lead in that category.

Frying Fish Two Stripers hitters continued to sizzle during Tuesday’s victory over Charlotte.

Danny Santana’s early single, which ignited a three-run first-inning rally, continued a sizzling stretch in which the four-year Major League veteran has raised his batting average over 100 points.

The 27-year-old utility man came into the evening hitting .387 (12-for31) with five RBIs over his last nine games.

Meanwhile, Carlos Franco continues a strong pace he’s had over the first month of the season, with four RBIs on the night 25 overall on the season, That moved the 26-year-old infielder out of a tie with Toledo

outfielder, and Providence Christian grad and former Daily Post Player of the Year, Christin Stewart for the International League lead.

Reversal of fortunes During the opening month of the season, the Stripers were getting solid starting pitching, with the relievers experience some issues.

Now that the calendar has flipped to May, it is the bullpen that has solidified, while the rotation has struggled of late.

Coming into Monday’s game, Gwinnett relievers were 2-2 with a 2.01 ERA (five earned runs in 22 1/3 innings) and two saves in three chances over seven games in May. Josh Ravin has been particularly effective

since being designated for assignment by the Atlanta Braves on April 27, not allowing an earned run and only two hits and three walks with 16 strikeouts in 8 2/3 innings over eight outings.

Fellow right-hander Evan Phillips has also been strong, with a 0.64 ERA (1 ER in 14 IP) ini his last nine games, including a team-best nineinning scoreless streak since April 27.

On the other end of the spectrum, Gwinnett starters are 1-2 with a 5.24 ERA 920 ER in 34 1/3 IP) and a .314 opponents batting average in May, compared to a 5-6 mark with a 2.75 ERA and .203 opponents average in 22 games in April coming into Tuesday’s action.

Woods Woods and Mickelson won in 2001 and 2013, haven’t been in the same Mickelson won in 2007 group at the event in and Fowler took the 17 years or at any PGA title in 2015 in what is

considered the biggest victory of his career.

The other featured group is made up of the past three FedExCup champions — reigning champ Justin Thomas, Jordan Spieth and Rory McIlroy.

Two more featured groups are set to be unveiled when tee times are released.

Mickelson: Woods’ run was one of ‘greatest’ ever Field Level Media The burgeoning friendship between Phil Mickelson and Tiger Woods was evident when the two played a rare practice round at the Masters last month, and on Tuesday Mickelson said the golf his longtime rival played during his prime was the best the game has ever seen.

Mickelson and Woods will be paired together, along with Rickie Fowler, for the first two rounds of The Players Championship beginning Thursday.

It will be just the second time that Mickelson, 47, and Woods, 42, have played a competitive round together at TPCSawgrass.

The first was during the third round in 2001, when Woods drained a 60-foot birdie putt on the famous par-3 17th hole.

It was the highlight of a 6-under par round of 66, and Woods went on to win the title the following day. Two weeks later he would complete the “Tiger Slam” by winning the Masters for his fourth consecutive major title.

Mickelson believes no one will eclipse the golf Woods played in compiling 14 major titles, the most recent coming at the U.S. Open 10 years ago.

“I don’t think anybody today who wasn’t there to witness it, and I don’t think anybody before,

will ever see that level of play again,” Mickelson said. “It was the most remarkable golf in the history of the game, and I think unrepeatable. I think it was that good.

“I look at 2000 as being kind of the benchmark at the U.S. Open and being the greatest golf I’ve ever witnessed and I believe has ever been played.”

Mickelson is a fivetime major winner, but didn’t collect his first until the 2004 Masters.

He added two more green jackets in 2006 and 2010 to go with a PGA Championship title in 2005 and a British Open victory in 2013. The one that has eluded him is the U.S. Open, where he is a sixtime runner-up.

One of those came in 2002 to Woods, who ultimately had eight majors under his belt before Mickelson earned his first.

“It sucked to have to play against him. It really did,” Mickelson said Tuesday. “You look at it and say, ‘How am going to going to beat this?’

There was a stretch there for a numbers of years that it was so impressive that it was hard to imagine that it was actually happening, that he was hitting some of the shots that he was hitting and playing that well.

“The guys today look back and they say, ‘Come on, how much better

could he have been?’ and so forth. And it goes to show you that they weren’t there to witness it.”

The notoriously frosty relationship between the two legends has cooled dramatically in recent years, with Woods saying at the Masters that Mickelson was a great friend as he recovered from fusion surgery last year — his fourth back procedure. Woods hasn’t won a tournament since 2013, and Mickelson had some fun with the level of interest their grouping is drawing this week — the first time they have played in the first two rounds together since the 2014 PGA Championship.

“I love that we’re paired together, I think it’s really fun,” Mickelson said. “As I look at the cover of the newspaper and the pairing is on there, and the excitement that has been going on here, it gets me thinking, why don’t we just bypass all the ancillary stuff of a tournament and just go head-to-head and just have kind of a high stakes winner-take-all match?

“Now, I don’t know if he wants a piece of me, but I just think that it would be something that would be really fun for us to do and I think there would be a lot of interest in it if we just went straight to the final round.”

Parkview (20-1-1) took a lead twice in the match’s latter stages, once late in regulation and once in OT, only to watch Lassiter (182-1) find the equalizer on both occasions.

Center back Michelle LaPenta provided the first goal, just 52 seconds after reentering the match — she also took a shot to the nose and spent nearly 12 minutes on the bench with an ice pack on her face.

Parkview lead that held until the 75th minute.

That’s when Lassiter tied the match on a Lauren Thompson goal, set up by a corner.

The goal was particularly demoralizing for Parkview, which hit the post once, hit the crossbar once and had another shot saved off the line by Lassiter goalie Lally Jasso just minutes earlier.

“I just wish we had finished the chances off the post,” Hamby said.

“After we scored, we had those three moments where we could have killed it, it would have been game. But credit to them, an unbelievable shot (to tie).”

Lassiter had a dangerous shot by Stephanie Frye just 30 seconds into OT, but

Halilhodzic delivered with a diving save, stretching to send the ball wide for a corner kick. Parkview went ahead 2-1 with 1:23 left in the first extra period via Nieva Gaither.

The sophomore made a pair of moves at the top of the box to break free before placing a left-footed shot into the upper 90, leaving no chance for Lassiter’s Jasso to save it.

“It was a rush,” Gaither said.

“Nieva, that was unbelievable,” Hamby said.

“What a goal. What a goal.”

The Trojans’ next equalizer was equally painful for the hosts because it came with just 0.9 seconds left in the first OT. A foul outside the box set up a free kick

by Se-Se Ruetten, who ripped a shot into the upper corner that eventually led to PKs. “We just had a braincramp moment and fouled the kid, then the kid hit a bomb,” Hamby said. “Even with Sara there, the girl hit it in the most impossible angle to get to. Four great goals by both teams.”

Parkview faced its first adversity in the sixth minute when a collision in the box left Halilhodzic on the ground. She left with a bloody, broken nose and spent close to five minutes on the bench.

Freshman goalkeeper Timberly Peters made a pair of saves, one challenging, during that span.

“I wasn’t panicking

(about being hurt), just suddenly blood was coming out of my face,” Halilhodzic said.

Parkview had a couple of prime chances and controlled play throughout the first half, but didn’t score on either shot, both by Narissa Gaither. The first went off the crossbar and down, where Jasso saved it off the line, and her second shot went just over off a cross from her sister Nieva.

Another Parkview attempt in the 61st minute was nearly a goal, but Molly Hickman’s shot found the crossbar. The Panthers also endured the stretch with LaPenta, surviving by bringing Sydni Wilson off the bench to bolster the defense. She played extended

minutes because another defender, Brown, also was hurt by a shot to the face.

Those players, along with Sydney Mudd and Mariana Almanza, hung tough against a talented Lassiter attack, while fighting through the rigors of a physical match that saw several players miss time, including the starting keeper.

She left the Big Orange Jungle with her first broken nose, but also with a trip to Saturday’s state championship match.

“It definitely felt like a physical game,” Halilhodzic said. “We knew that coming in. We said, ‘Be ready to get pushed down, be ready to get back up and push back.’”

fouls for set pieces, but the War Eagle’s defense remained strong and cleared out any dangerous balls.

“You got to give South Forsyth credit,” Sutton said. “They played a great game and worked hard.”

Peachtree Ridge graduates eight seniors from this historic team, including three starters.

Sutton knows he has holes to fill, but he believes the future is bright

for the Lions and this season is something they can build on.

And he’ll never forget this 2018 team.

“I’m just real proud of these seniors. They worked so hard to get here,” Sutton said. “We weren’t even expected to get this far in the playoffs, or even get in the playoffs this year. It’s been a great run, but it stings for the seniors. We wanted to win one for them.”

Lions lack of energy. Our urgency level wasn’t what it has been in every other playoff game. In the second half, we dominated possession, but couldn’t quite score enough. Our energy level was more like an early season game and we waited until the second half to bring it.”

An early scoring opportunity slipped away from the Lions in the fourth minute when a handball call on the War Eagles resulted in a pen-

alty kick. A Lion stepped up for the kick and sliced the ball right down the middle, but Sandhu was able to kick it out with his foot.

“That wasn’t too big of a deal, because we know we can score goals and bounce back,” Sutton said. “That’s nothing new to us.”

South Forsyth grabbed the lead in the 10th minute when a corner kick from Trevor Byrne found Mendelson, who headed

the ball past Desai for the game’s first score.

Peachtree Ridge tied it up in the 59th minute when Seckinger caught up to a through ball and raced towards the penalty area. A South Forsyth defender was pulling on his jersey, but Seckinger shook him off before chipping the ball over Sandhu’s head.

The Lions kept the pressure on with score tied at 1-1, feeding balls into the box and drawing

DRAPERY AND UPHOLSTERY

Field Level Media

By Jack Isler, M.D. Health News Syndicate HNS—A popular needle injection for people with joint pain is now available in an inexpensive nonprescription pill. The breakthrough came when researchers discovered a way to deliver the injected “relief molecule” through the digestive system.

Top US clinics have used these needle injections for years because they deliver powerful relief.

Unfortunately, the shots are painful and expensive.

They also only work on the joint being treated.

The new pill, called Synovia, delivers the same “relief molecule” as the injections. However, it has some impressive advantages.

First, it’s inexpensive and nonprescription.

Also, relief is delivered to every joint in the body because it enters the bloodstream through the digestive system.

This gives it the ability to reduce a much wider variety of pain. Users report greater �lexibility and less stiffness in their knees. Hands and shoulders move painfree for the �irst time in years. Even neck and lower back pain improve dramatically.

All this without spending over $600 on needle injections and taking trips to the doctor every week.

The medical community is very excited about this new breakthrough. Dr. Jacob Moss says, “Synovia is a great option for those suffering from joint pain.

Injections are usually a last resort because of the pain and expense.

However, Synovia should be taken at the �irst sign of discomfort.”

NO MORE NEEDLES: A popular needle injection pain-killer for joint pain is being replaced. The key molecule in these injections can now be delivered by taking a new low-cost pill called Synovia.

trials show the pill form also delivers major relief.

One example is a landmark study out of Europe. In the study the active ingredient in Synovia was compared to a popular NSAID pain reliever. The goal was to see if it could reduce pain and swelling around the knee. The results were incredible!

After just 30 days, more than 8 out of 10 people who took Synovia’s active ingredient had NO swelling. However, only 2 out of 10 people who took the NSAID experienced reduced swelling.

The study also looked at cases of severe swelling.

Amazingly, zero cases of severe swelling were detected in the group taking the active ingredient found in Synovia. This means it was 100% effective for the cases of severe swelling!

In contrast, 9 out of 10 people taking the NSAID still had severe swelling.

McNeill points out, “The impressive thing about this study is the active ingredient wasn’t tested against a fake pill. It was up against one of the most popular NSAIDs people use every day. It’s easy to see why people in pain are excited to get relief New Discovery The needle injection without an injection.” procedure has been given The New Way It to hundreds of thousands Delivers Relief of patients over the last Getting relief without several years. injections has big Doctors use the shots advantages.

around for years because they work. Being able to get the same relief molecule through a pill is amazing. Injections may be a last resort, but I’d recommend Synovia at the �irst sign of pain,” said Dr. Marie Laguna.

Dr. Gerardo Pereira, a renowned surgeon from Florida says, “Injections aim to boost synovial �luid, which lubricates the joint. Those suffering from joint pain usually have very little of this �luid.

Synovia helps relieve pain by boosting this key lubricant without needles.”

Dr. Moss adds, “The research behind the active ingredient in Synovia is very exciting. This product is a great choice for those who haven’t had success with other joint pain treatments.”

110% Money Back Guarantee

Amazing feedback from users of Synovia has generated a wave of con�idence at the company. So much so that they now offer Synovia with a 110% money back guarantee.

The company’s president, Michael Kenneth says, “We’ve seen how well it works. Now we want to remove any risk for those who might think Synovia sounds too good to be true.”

Simply take the pill exactly as directed. You must enjoy fast acting relief. Otherwise, return the product as directed and you’ll receive 100% of your money back plus an extra 10%.

How To Get Synovia

Today marks the of�icial release of Synovia in Georgia. As such, the company is offering a special discounted supply to everyone who calls within the next 48 hours.

A Regional Order Hotline has been set up for local readers to call.

This is the only way to try Synovia with their “110% money back” guarantee.

Petit twins power Mill Creek running

By Christine Troyke

christine.troyke@ gwinnettdailypost.com

The distance between Camryn and Marisa Petit has always been measured minutely.

Born minutes apart, they’re now separated by fractions of a second.

The senior twins power Mill Creek’s distance running team and most often finish right next to each other — just the way they started.

At the Class AAAAAAA state sectionals April 28, Camryn was third in the 1,600 in 5:18.17. Marisa was fourth, just .04 seconds behind. In the 3,200, Marisa was third and Camryn was fourth.

At the region championships, Camryn was second in the 1,600 in 5:21.082. Marisa was third in 5:21.088. In the 3,200, Marisa was second and Camryn was third.

“We definitely want to compete against whoever we run against,” said Camryn, who is nine minutes older. “But if someone passes me, I’m OK if it’s Marisa.

“We definitely push each other throughout the whole race,” Marisa said. “It helps us both.”

Camryn was more competitive with their older sister, Hannah, who is finishing up her sophomore season at Georgia Tech.

“Probably because it was us two first,” Camryn said.

Marisa was involved in competitive cheerleading until she decided to go out for the track team as a freshman.

“I had to weigh my options because cheerleading was something I had done for many, many years,” Marisa said. “I fell in love with the sport. I just knew I wanted to be a runner with Camryn and Hannah.

“It just came down to what I was passionate about. And I also thought I could be really good at running.”

As kids, they tried all kinds of sports and eventually settled in to different niches. Camryn played basketball and Marisa cheered.

“Those are the ones that divided us, made us individuals,” Marisa said.

But in eighth grade, Camryn realized basketball wasn’t what she wanted anymore.

focused on progression for her, where she is right now and are we getting faster.”

Marisa’s career has been a much cleaner arc.

“The fun thing with her is it’s so consistent,” Sexton said. “It seems like every single race she takes another chunk away.

“Usually runners will kind of plateau at a certain point and get stuck at a certain time and it just hasn’t happened with her.

She’s just kept getting faster and faster, and it’s awesome.”

When it’s time to race, the Petits rely on a good tune — and each other.

Camryn is often singing “The Comeback” by Danny Gokey. For Marisa, it’s whatever upbeat song she heard last before pulling off her headphones.

“We work together throughout the race,” Marisa said. “If we see one is starting to fall back, we pick up the slack to get up there and that motivates the other one to keep pushing.

It’s a great dynamic.”

“She has a really good kick so the past couple of races, I was a little bit ahead and she caught up to me in the last 100 meters,” Camryn said. “But we try to stay together to push each other.”

Heat win wheelchair football title Broken drive shaft

dooms Kyle Busch

From Staff Reports

The Gwinnett Heat adapted sports team won the American Association of Adapted Sports Programs wheelchair football state championship over the weekend at Maynard Jackson High School in Atlanta.

The Heat defeated powerhouse Houston County, which had won the previous seven state titles in the sport, by a narrow 36-34 margin. It was the first wheelchair football state championship for the Gwinnett County Public Schools program since winning back-to-back crowns in 2010 and 2011. It also capped an unbeaten season.

In the finals, Gwinnett jumped out to a 19-point lead behind the outstanding play of quarterback Will Millikan, and receivers Seth Earley and Michael Rowe. Earley led all receivers with three touchdown receptions, including two on critical third-down situations.

In addition to the touchdown passes to Earley, Millikan added nine points on three field goals and rushed for one touchdown.

The second half saw Gwinnett’s lead dwindle as Houston County mounted

a fierce comeback with 21 points, cutting Gwinnett’s lead to two points. The Heat took over for their last possession with 1:08 left in the game and ran the clock out to secure the victory.

McKenna Taylor had several key sacks on Houston’s quarterback, while Kathy Luna, Derek Claros, Mary Julia Garcia-Brake and Sam Millikan excelled on defense with key stops throughout the game. Re-

ceivers Kyle Eggleston and Hunter Rewis kept several drives alive with key pass receptions, and senior Giselle Zavala played well at center.

The championship game was the final Heat game for seniors Zavala, who attends Shiloh, and Claros, who goes to Meadowcreek.

Gwinnett opened the state tournament with a 32-9 victory over West Georgia behind three touchdown catches from

Earley and strong play from quarterback Will Millikan, who completed 85 percent of his passes and added nine points on a trio of field goals.

Taylor, Garcia-Brake, Sam Millikan, Claros and Luna played stellar defense in the semifinal win, which also featured big catches from Rowe, Rewis and Eggleston. Zavala played the semifinals at center after missing the previous three games with an injury.
