There was a “miscommunication” between investigating agencies before Gwinnett County’s medical examiner said the house fire that killed a Tucker-area mother and her daughters was accidental, the ME’s office announced Friday.

The statement said Dr. Carol A. Terry’s determination that the deaths of Kathy Patterson, Madelyn, 9, and Kayla, 12, weren’t homicides could change once the investigation is complete. Terry on Tuesday told the Daily Post she understood from the fire department there was Carol A. Terry no evidence the fire was intentionally set and she couldn’t imagine an indictment against the lone survivor of the fire, husband and father Brent Patterson.

District Attorney Danny Porter was critical of Terry’s statements, questioning whether she had the most up-to-date information. Porter has said he’s concerned by inconsistencies in the story of the lone survivor of the fire and that the decision whether to treat the case as an accident or arson needs to wait for the investigation to conclude.

He said he’s not leaning one way or the other.

The DA’s office, ME’s office and fire department met Thursday to discuss the status of the investigation.

“There had been a verbal miscommunication between the Gwinnett County Fire Department and the Gwinnett County Medical Examiner’s Office on June 28 regarding the extent of the testing performed in the fire investigation and the status of the fire department’s investigation,” the medical examiner’s office statement said. “Upon receipt of written reports regarding the fire department’s investigation and associated testing to establish the origin of the fire, the manner of death will be reassessed and amended, if necessary.”

The cause of death, however, remains undisputed. Each of the Pattersons died as a result of smoke and soot inhalation and was

When Laura Drake, director of a Grayson food pantry, answered the phone Friday, she gave a reporter one caveat for the conversation: hurry.

“We are so understaffed,” she said, with chaos of the Southeast Gwinnett Cooperative Ministry swirling around her.

The place was hopping with folks in need as Drake and others tried to keep up even though volunteers and donations were lacking. This was even after Drake, Snellville City Councilman Dave Emanuel and others had sent out requests for help.

“I think it’s one of those bad times of the year,” said Emanuel, who founded frequent co-op collaborator Give Hunger the Boot with wife Kathy.

One reason the need goes up in summer is, in addition to its year-round efforts, the ministry runs a program to give lunch to kids who get free lunches at school the rest of the year.

Gwinnett jail escapee ‘got one over on us’

BY ERIKA WELLS

Friday.

The mother wouldn’t know until later, but she was witnessing John Alexander Goodwin, 27, escape from jail while pretending to be her son, she said.

Goodwin, who had been in jail because he escaped

426706-1

The man who escaped from the Gwinnett County jail on Thursday “got one over” on officials and apparently his cellmate.

The cellmate’s mother, Renee Rawlings, said she went to the jail to pick up her son at about 5 a.m. when she saw another man emerge.

“I saw a skinny, tall guy walk out, and he gave me a silly grin,” Rawlings said

from a county corrections work release detail, was arrested hours later in Rockdale County.

Rawlings and her husband, Ken, asked for their son not to be named for safety reasons and because of the investigation of the escape. The son did not want to comment.

After waiting about an hour Thursday morning for her son, the mother was concerned and questioned deputies at the jail, she said.

The son was released a few hours later after authorities interviewed him.

About the same time, deputies showed the mother a photo of Goodwin. “I immediately recognized him when I saw his picture,” she said. “I said, ‘That’s the guy that walked out in my son’s place.’”

The mother she said found out that Goodwin used her son’s inmate ID number to get past deputies while her son was asleep.

The son had never been behind bars before, so he did not know how to use his ID number to make a phone call from jail, Renee Rawlings said. He gave the number to Goodwin for help.

Deputy Shannon Volkodav, a spokeswoman for the sheriff’s office and jail, said she could not provide specifics on the investigation. “(Goodwin) got one over on us and we’re not happy about that,” Volkodav said Friday. “We’re doing what we to can to make sure no other inmate

will be able to do what he did.”

Authorities found out what had happened about 20 minutes after Goodwin left, she said.

Goodwin went to a home in a Rockdale where he was arrested about nine hours after the escape, according to the Gwinnett sheriff’s office.

Volkodav said it appears Goodwin deliberately planned what he was going to do without his cellmate’s involvement.

She said the sheriff’s office may add fingerprinting or additional measures during the release process.

“We process anywhere between 35,000 and 40,000 people per year,” Volkodav said. “We do a very good job. The security of the jail is of primary importance. Many of our staff members live

in Gwinnett County. We’re raising our children in Gwinnett County. We take the responsibility of keeping people who are supposed to be in jail in jail.”

Ken Rawlings said he was upset because the situation could have been prevented if jail officials followed protocol.

“It was irritating to find out that our judicial system — as far as the jail — would allow something so simple to happen,” he said. “(My stepson) looked nothing like that guy.”

While being released, Goodwin obtained the keys, wallet, driver’s license, wedding band, Social Security card and clothes belonging to Ken Rawlings’ stepson, he said.

Some of the items were recovered, but the family changed the locks on their home to be safe.

Loganville’s Sugar Kneads Cakery closing for good

By Erika WElls

erika.wells @gwinnettdailypost.com

A Loganville woman cannot control the tears that slide down her cheeks as she says goodbye to what she holds close to her heart — her bakery.

Sugar Kneads Cakery at 150 Athens Highway, Suite 700, is going out of business Saturday.

Owner Tara Tomlinson said the community has overwhelmingly supported her since she made the announcement on Facebook on Tuesday.

Tomlinson said she is closing the bakery for financial reasons after struggling for about two years and having to downsize staff. She made it clear that the reason is not because the community has not supported Sugar Kneads.

“Good things have happened to almost everybody that I’ve had to lay off,” Tomlinson said.

“We’re all very faithful that amazing things are going to happen. This is just God’s will right now.

We’re not emotionally beaten by this, but it’s still painful.”

In 2008, Tomlinson took over the company from a prior owner and started in a small location in Loganville. She moved to her current shop in 2011 shortly after she appeared on “Cupcake Wars,” a baking competition show on the Food Network.

Cakes, blondies and petits fours have been the most popular items, but the bakery also offers cookies, macaroons, cupcakes and other treats.

Tomlinson and her staff have enjoyed making cakes and personalizing items for special occasions as well as watching her customers’ families grow.

She said she takes pride in the legacy she will leave — one of quality.

“We’ve been surrounded by blessings after blessings after blessings,” she

said. “We are so grateful.

We are going to miss all of our customers. I still after all these years feel so humble.”

Over the years, she has hired employees and had interns but baking has been a family passion for generations.

Several of her relatives have lent a hand including her sister and brother-in-

law, and her daughters, Jadyn and Samantha.

Tomlinson provided a “funky,” down-to-earth learning environment where she accepted everyone including staff showing off body art. She said she cared more about their talent than judging their looks.

Tomlinson’s faith is getting her through the

NOTICE OF PROPERTY TAX INCREASE SUGAR HILL RETAINS MILLAGE RATE The City of Sugar Hill, Georgia has tentatively adopted a millage rate of 3.8 mills for 2016, which will require an increase in property taxes by 7.07%. This increase is a result of property reassessments and not an increase in the millage rate. Without this tentative tax increase, the millage rate would be no more 3.54 mills. All concerned citizens are invited to attend the third Public Hearing to be held at City Hall, 5039 West Broad Street, Sugar Hill, Georgia on the following date: Monday, July 18, 2016, at 6:45 p.m. This meeting is a Special Called Meeting to set the 2016 Millage Rate.

Some distortions in figures may occur since data was obtained from city and county records. These figures do not include adjustments to the digest

429890-1

The Mayor and Council of the City of Grayson will hold a public hearing on Monday, July 11, 2016 at 9:00 am and 6:00 pm to receive comments and on Monday, July 18, 2016 at 7:00 pm to adopt the Millage Rate at Grayson City Hall, 475 Grayson Parkway, Grayson, GA 30017.

428641-1

PRESS RELEASE ANNOUNCING A PROPOSED PROPERTY TAX INCREASE THE CITY OF GRAYSON TODAY ANNOUNCES ITS INTENTION TO INCREASE THE PROPERTY TAXES IT WILL LEVY THIS YEAR BY TWENTY THREE POINT FIVE TWO PERCENT (23.52%) Each year the Gwinnett County board of assessors is required to review the assessed value for property tax purposes of taxable property in the county. When the trend of prices on properties that have recently sold in the county indicate there has been an increase in the fair market value of any specific property, the board of tax assessors is required by law to re-determine the value of such property and increase the assessment. This is called reassessment.

When the total digest of taxable property is prepared, Georgia Law requires that a rollback millage rate must be computed that will produce the same total revenue on the current year’s new digest that last year’s millage rate would have produced had no reassessments occurred.

The City of Grayson has elected to set the millage rate at 2.10 mills, which is a millage rate higher than the rollback millage rate. Therefore, before the City of Grayson may finalize the tentative budget and set a final millage rate, Georgia Law requires that three public hearings be held to allow the public an opportunity to express their opinions on this increase.

Keith Roach

Explaining the types of sleep apnea Dear Dr. roacH: I am a pretty healthy 53-yearold female and have central sleep apnea, along with a few obstructive events. I see a neurologist for this, and he doesn’t seem concerned with finding out why I have the central events.

I should mention that I use a BiPAP nightly, and my apneas average 10-12 per night. All I have read about CSA online indicates an underlying cause, like stroke, heart problems, Parkinson’s disease (which my dad had) or Alzheimer’s disease. Is central apnea a precursor to one of these conditions? I worry constantly! Should I push to find answers?

— R.A. anSWer: Sleep apnea is a condition where people stop breathing for a period of time during sleep.

It comes in three types. By far the most common is obstructive sleep apnea, in which the muscles controlling the soft palate become relaxed, so the airway closes. A partial closure is what causes snoring, a major risk factor for OSA. Obesity is another major risk factor, but some people who are not obese have neck anatomy that predisposes them to OSA. In OSA, the airway is completely closed, so the negative pressure from the lungs closes the airway even more tightly. As the oxygen level goes down and carbon dioxide levels rise, sensors in the brain cause the person to wake up, which causes the muscles in the airway to open enough to get a few good breaths, “silencing” the alarm. In very severe disease, this apnea event may happen hundreds of times in a night, without the person ever being aware.

In central sleep apnea (“central” meaning the brain), the problem is with the alarm sensors themselves or in the parts of the brain that regulate breathing.

Severe heart failure and several brain problems, especially the ones you mention, often are the underlying cause, but sometimes no cause is found. When it is associated with one of these causes, it’s usually with a well-established problem, rather than being the first sign.

Some people have both obstructive and central events, leading to the term “mixed” or “complex” sleep apnea. This probably is more common than recognized, and is likely what you have. In some people, the central events are related to the CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure, which essentially uses air pressure to keep the airway open) or BiPAP (bilevel positive airway pressure, where the airway pressure is higher in inhalation than exhalation).

I suspect you have a mixed sleep apnea syndrome, and I think it is unlikely to herald the onset of disease. to reaDerS: Heart disease remains the No. 1 killer.

My whole family is extremely happy for us. They love my boyfriend and want only the best for us. They have even offered to help us financially if we need it, though we hope we won’t.

However, since we announced the move, his mother has become increasingly cold toward me. At first I ignored it and just tried harder to befriend her and bond with her.

On a recent trip to a cottage with his whole family, I noticed how rude and snappy she was being toward the both of us.

Everything I did offended her, or made her roll her eyes. Shocked and upset, my boyfriend confronted her about it after the trip.

She explained that she does not like me and continued to berate him about how controlling and manipulative I was, and how upset she was that my family had money to be able to help us out and she didn’t (we have never expected nor asked for any financial assistance from her). She didn’t even have one nice thing to say about me.

Ask Amy

Amy Dickinson My boyfriend and I are very upset about this.

He completely disagrees with his mother, and tells her she is being unfair by not giving me a chance.

I don’t even feel welcomed in their home anymore (which is in a different city). We are still moving in together, as this situation hasn’t affected our love or respect for each other. We just don’t know how to react to his mother’s dislike toward me (and perhaps soon-to-be dislike from other family members, as his mother is the dominating presence over his family).

I am scared of what the future brings; should I still try to communicate and fix things with his mother, or should I remain distant?

— Worried Dear WorrieD: Your boyfriend did the right thing to confront his mother over her behavior toward you. You could try to “fix” things, but only do so knowing that she might respond poorly.

You should always be

polite toward her, and you should never initiate any criticism of her to your boyfriend. You two should also not discuss any financial matters with his mother, since she seems to take information innocently offered and turn it into ammunition.

The challenge here is for you to recognize that this puts your guy in a tough spot. If he is choosing you as his partner, he will have to defy his mother. You must let him do this in his own way. You should never compare your family to his, and you should be supportive of him through this challenge, without criticizing or harshly judging his family.

His mother might be passing through a tough transition of her own, as her son resolutely chooses his own path. Unfortunately, she is reacting in a way almost guaranteed to alienate him.

Dear amy: My wife and I have a casual friend for whom we’ve recently done some nice things.

As a gesture of appreciation, he wants to cook dinner for us. He is a very good cook, so that’s not the issue. It’s just that we are busy and we cherish the few nights we get to have together and, also, we have friends we don’t see as often and we’d rather spend that kind of time with them. Is there a polite way of declining this kind of very

generous invitation?

— Reluctant Dear reluctant: I think you should take him up on his offer. Otherwise it will just hang there … forever. The time you spend dodging this generous payback invitation might as well be spent enjoying it.

It is a further generosity to let this gentleman thank you properly. Accept his invitation, have a nice time and pat yourselves on the backs for being nice people.

Dear amy: I felt so sorry for “Crier,” who was trying to get through her son’s wedding without being a blubbering mess.

I have the exact same problem! Fortunately, my doctor helped me out. I take a low-dose of Xanax and it evens everything out for me. I no longer cry at Hallmark commercials or weddings.

— Even-keeled Dear even: I don’t know if I would find life to be necessarily better with everything “evened out,” but I’m glad this works for you.

Cleveland police on Friday tightened their security plan for the July 18-21 Republican National Convention in the wake of the shootings. They also increased surveillance and intelligence operations.

“We’ve been working really hard on security,” Priebus said. “I’m very confident that things are going to go very well in Cleveland. The police are there in full force to be helpful to protesters, but also to keep the event safe and free from incident.”

Beyond Dallas, police under fire in three states Police came under fire in three U.S. states on Thursday and Friday, authorities said, possibly prompted by the same motivation behind the rampage in Dallas: police use of force against black people.

because he may have been troubled by incidents involving black people and law enforcement, officials said.

Police officers also were ambushed and wounded in Missouri and Georgia on Friday, but officials did not know the motivation.

Friday’s ambushes followed the attack late Thursday in Dallas, when a black U.S. military veteran of the Afghan war who said he wanted to “kill white people” opened fire at a protest, killing five police officers and wounding seven more and two civilians. The protest was called to decry police shootings of black men in Louisiana and Tennessee this week.

A theory on why Comey gave Hillary a free pass

WASHINGTON — Why did he do it? FBI director James Comey spent 14 minutes laying out an unassailable case for prosecuting Hillary Clinton for the mishandling of classified material. Then at literally the last minute, he recommended against prosecution.

This is baffling. Under the statute (18 U.S.C. section 793(f)), it’s a felony to mishandle classified information either intentionally or “through gross negligence.” The evidence, as outlined by Comey, is overwhelming.

Clinton either sent or received 110 emails in 52 chains containing material that was classified at the time. Eight of these chains contained information that was top secret. A few of the classified emails were so marked, contrary to Clinton’s assertion that there were none.

These were stored on a home server that was even less secure than a normal Gmail account. Her communications were quite possibly compromised by hostile powers, thus jeopardizing American national security.

“An unclassified system was no place for that conversation,” said Comey of the classified emails. A rather kind euphemism, using the passive voice. In plainer, more direct language: It is imprudent, improper and indeed illegal to be Charles conducting such business on an Krauthammer unsecured private server.

Comey summed up Clinton’s behavior as “extremely careless.” How is that not gross negligence?

Yet Comey let her off the hook, citing lack of intent. But negligence doesn’t require intent. Compromising national secrets is such a grave offense that it requires either intent or negligence.

Lack of intent is, therefore, no defense. But one can question that claim as well. Yes, it is safe to assume that there was no malicious intent to injure the nation.

But Clinton clearly intended to set up an unsecured private server. She clearly intended to send those classified emails. She clearly received warnings from her own department about the dangers of using a private email account.

She meant to do what she did. And she did it.

Intentionally.

That’s two grounds for prosecution, one requiring no intent whatsoever. Yet Comey claims that no reasonable prosecutor would bring such a case. Nor has one ever been brought.

Not so. Just last year, the Justice Department successfully prosecuted naval reservist Bryan Nishimura, who improperly downloaded classified material to his personal, unclassified electronic devices.

The government admitted that there was no evidence that Nishimura intended to distribute the material to others. Nonetheless, he was sentenced to two years of probation, fined and forever prohibited from seeking a security clearance, which effectively kills any chance of working in national security.

So why not Hillary Clinton? The usual answer is that the Clintons are treated by a different standard.

Only little people pay. They are too well connected, too well protected to be treated like everybody else.

Alternatively, the explanation lies with Comey: He gave in to implicit political pressure, the desire to please those in power.

Certainly plausible, but given Comey’s reputation for probity and given that he holds a 10-year appointment, I’d suggest a third line of reasoning.

When Chief Justice John Roberts used a tortured, logic-defying argument to uphold Obamacare, he was subjected to similar accusations of bad faith. My view was that, as guardian of the Supreme Court’s public standing, he thought the issue too momentous — and the implications for the country too large — to hinge on a decision of the court. Especially after Bush v.

Gore, Roberts wanted to keep the court from overturning the political branches on so monumental a piece of social legislation.

I would suggest that Comey’s thinking, whether conscious or not, was similar: He did not want the FBI director to end up as the arbiter of the 2016 presidential election. If Clinton were not a presumptive presidential nominee but simply a retired secretary of state, he might well have made a different recommendation.

Prosecuting under current circumstances would have upended and redirected an already year-long presidential selection process. In my view, Comey didn’t want to be remembered as the man who irreversibly altered the course of American political history.

And with no guarantee that the prosecution would succeed, moreover. Imagine that scenario: You knock out of the race the most likely next president — and she ultimately gets acquitted! Imagine how Comey goes down in history under those circumstances.

I admit I’m giving Comey the benefit of the doubt.

But the best way I can reconcile his reputation for integrity with the grating illogic of his Clinton decision is by presuming that he didn’t want to make history.

I don’t endorse his decision. (Nor did I Roberts’.)

But I think I understand it.

Leaderless nation left in turmoil “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble …”

That’s from the First Amendment to the Constitution. There was a time in this country when I truly believed that we were a nation governed by the rule of law, administered by blind justice.

I no longer believe that. I believe that we are a nation in turmoil and that the leader of our nation is trying his best to divide the people of this country over race, religion, political party and economic status — and he is doing a very good job of that. He said eight years ago that he would fundamentally change the fabric of our nation and it is fundamentally changed.

There was a peaceful demonstration taking place in Dallas, Texas, Thursday night.

I was watching the coverage on the news. Suddenly all hell broke loose as shots were fired. I saw people running for their lives in all directions, screaming at the tops of their collective voices. And I immediately saw a police officer lying motionless, face down on the pavement beside a police vehicle.

Darrell Huckaby I sat and stared at my television set far into the night. I was heartbroken for the slain officers — the death count stands at five right now — and for their families and for our country and for the human race in general.

The protest was spurred by the deaths of two black men at the hands of police officers — one in Baton Rouge, La., and one in Minneapolis. I do not know what happened in either of those incidents, and I hope the truth — the whole truth — is told. If the police officers in question were guilty of a crime then I hope they are punished to the full extent of the law.

But I know what happened in Dallas. A cowardly sniper, possibly abetted by as many as three accomplices, took advantage of the protest to ambush and murder five police officers and injure seven others. He admitted to the police that he just wanted

to kill police officers and that he just wanted to kill white people.

Neither Barack Obama nor Jesse Jackson knows exactly what happened in Baton Rouge or Minnesota, either. That didn’t stop them from judging and making inflammatory statements against the policemen involved, and, by extension, all policemen. Since the justified killing of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Mo., two years ago we have seen marchers and protestors and looters in the streets screaming “What do we want?

Dead cops. When do we want them? Now.” Liberal apologists claim that this doesn’t happen or that it is overblown, but you can find multiple videos of these chants, including at least one being led by that bastion of peace and reason, Al Sharpton.

Race relationships are at the lowest point I can remember, and I was raised in the segregated South. I remember water fountains marked “white” and “colored.” I remember being in town with Gussie, the black lady who helped my mama raise me, and having her explain to me why she couldn’t use the public restroom. I lived through the marches and demonstra-

tions and know what black people have gone through. I taught in public schools for almost 40 years, beginning three years after integration in Georgia.

I get it, and I stand by my statement. Race relations are at an all-time low and I believe that it is due, in great part, by a lack of leadership, at best, and a conscious effort, at worst, by the chief administrator of our nation.

We are all people. All lives matter. All lives matter. All lives matter.

Enough is enough. We must make a conscious decision — all of us — to change the course of the cultural climate in our country. Otherwise we are destined to see our country embroiled in a race war, which will destroy the greatest nation the world has ever known.

The United States must become, once again, united.

May God be with the families of the Dallas policemen who gave their lives to protect the first amendment rights of the people gathered in peaceful protest in that city.

May God bless all the officers who put their lives on the line on our behalf every day. The blue you’ll see me wearing this week is for them.

God bless them and God help America.

Add parks, historic sites to Ga. brag book I am late getting to this subject with summer whizzing along but not so much so that we can’t still squeeze it in the state of Georgia’s brag book, along with Vidalia onions, St. Simons sunsets, rainbow trout and Ray Charles Robinson.

I am talking about our state parks.

This year marks Georgia State Parks and Historic Site’s 85th anniversary. It all started back in 1931 with two properties — Indian Springs in Flovilla and Vogel in Blairsville — which are two of the oldest state parks in the country.

Today, Georgia claims some 60 sites on 85,000 acres from Amicalola Falls in Dawsonville (my favorite) to Reynolds Mansion on Sapelo Island in Darien and from Black Rock Mountain Park, Georgia’s highest state park in Rabun County, to the Okefenokee Wildlife Refuge in Waycross.

Our parks — and they are our parks — host more than 10 million visitors each year and are an economic driver in the state with an economic impact on the state of more than $600 million a year in direct tourism expenditures and the creation of more than 6,000 local jobs.

Becky Kelley, the director of Georgia’s State Parks, Recreation and Historic Sites Division of the Department of Natural Resources, says “After surviving the economic

As for the future, Director Kelley says, “We are continually enhancing our accommodations. We are reinvesting in our facilities and cultural resources as well as in recreation. In addition, campground and cottage upgrades as well as group shelters for family and organization gatherings and historic site restorations will be ongoing.”

And volunteers are always welcomed. Kim Hatcher, Public Affairs Coordinator for the parks, said, “Yes, we use many volunteers at our parks, including campground hosts, golf course hosts and folks who build or maintain trails, as well as help out with events. Numerous parks have Friends groups which are part of the statewide Friends of Georgia State Parks and Historic Sites. Anyone who is interested in volunteering can either contact the parks directly or check GeorgiaStateParks.org.” Again, these are your parks. Get involved.

The width, breadth and depth of our state parks and historic sites is just one more example of how lucky we are to live in Georgia, a state with so much going for it. And I haven’t even mentioned the oldest state-chartered university in the nation, located in Athens, the Classic City of the South. Our cup runneth over.

Teen who started food pantry receiving national recognition

By Curt yeomans curt.yeomans @gwinnettdailypost.com

Community Choice Youth Award Honoree Lauren Seroyer attends the 13th Annual McDonald’s 365 Black Awards at the Ernest Moral Convention Center in New Orleans on July 1. (Photo: Soul Brother/Courtesy of McDonald’s)

not the only honor Seroyer has gotten lately, however.

She was also one of 50 young ladies from across the countRy picked to be a fellow in the ANNpower Vital Voices Initiative, which is sponsored by Ann Taylor parent company Ann Inc., in New York.

About 3,500 girls applied to be picked as a fellow this year, she said.

The ANNpower fellowship program is designed to empower teenage girls to become leaders of the future while helping them with community improvements projects that are close to their hearts.

Fellows in the program participate in a three-day leadership training and mentoring course in early June. Seroyer was put in a small group to work with ANN Inc. CEO Gary Muto, who served as her group’s mentor.

“That was really, really amazing,” she said.

She added that she enjoyed being around

other girls who share her mindset and drive to leave a positive impact on the world.

“They look at things the way you look at them, but then they also bring up points that maybe hadn’t thought of,” she said. “I met a girl who was doing a similar project, except she was doing a community garden, so we talked about the differences and similarities in our own communities and we had a lot of the same issues.

“We were able to connect with our projects and bounce ideas off of each other and grow, and bring suggestions and ideas back to our own communities.”

They can also apply for $2,500 “minigrants” to move forward projects that are near and dear to their hearts. The grant winners are named in the fall.

“I could use the minigrant to maybe supply another food pantry in another school,” she said.

Peachtree Ridge High School student Lauren Seroyer’s effort to feed homeless students across Gwinnett County is getting some national attention.

Seroyer was one of two top winners in the United Way of Greater Atlanta’s Gwinnett SPARK Prize competition in April for her Care Closet food pantry effort. She found herself on a different stage this month, being recognized at the McDonald’s 365Black Awards ceremony during the Essence Festival in New Orleans.

“That was actually completely unexpected,” she said. “I was nominated and when I found out that I won, I was so nervous, anxious and excited to know that I had won an award this big, that all sorts of celebrities and other types of people had won. The fact that my project had that much an effect on my community was amazing.”

Seroyer is something of a rarity: A teenager who has launched a non-profit.

She was inspired to start CARE Closet after a fellow student at Peachtree Ridge asked for some food during lunch because that student didn’t have enough food to eat at home.

It only operated out of Peachtree Ridge this past school year, but Seroyer said on Saturday that she’s heard people at Central Gwinnett and Mill Creek high schools about starting closets there in the upcoming school year. She added that her nonprofit is looking at starting a pantry at South Gwinnett High School as well.

“The next step is just to purchase the cabinets and have them put together, and we’re going to give them a gift card to do the initial stocking,” Seroyer said.

She hopes to use the $25,000 she received from the United Way to establish a Care Closet food pantry in every Gwinnett high school within the next two years.

And her goal to expand it beyond her school caught the eye of the people who choose the 365Black Award recipients.

The 365Black awards recognize people who are working to make a positive impact on the AfricanAmerican community.

Other award recipients included singer Toni Braxton, NFL player Charles Tillman, actress Wendy Raquel Robinson, educator and historian Lonnie Bunch and McDonald’s owner and operator Larry Triplett.

Seroyer and 13-yearold Albuquerque, N.M.based social entrepreneur Donovan Smith received the 365Black Community Choice Youth Awards. The award is supported by the Thurgood Marshall College Fund, and is awarded to one boy and one girl.

The recipients each receive a $10,000 scholarship.

The fact that it’s a national award and presented on a national stage — BET Networks and CENTRIC will broadcast the ceremony later this summer — might seem overwhelming to most people, but not to Seroyer.

“For me, it was more of an opportunity to grow and also for me to stretch my project,” she said. “I don’t think it was daunting. It was more exciting and I became anxious and couldn’t wait to see what it was all about.”

when he was shot. Authorities have not confirmed the reason for the stop.

“The use of deadly force here was necessitated by the actions of the driver of the vehicle,” Kelly said.

Kelly said Yanez could see a weapon in the car. He declined to discuss details of the investigation.

Minnesota Governor Mark Dayton has said he did not believe Castile would have been shot dead had he been white, remarks which were criticized by state law enforcement groups.

Rashad Turner, a Black Lives Matter St. Paul leader, said he believed police racially profiled Castile, which led to his shooting.

“For this guy’s lawyer to say it’s not a race problem,

after the governor admitted it was a race problem, after the president had addressed the race problem in the country — it’s an attempt to remove responsibility away from the officer,” Turner said.

Yanez, who is of Mexican descent, is cooperating fully with the state’s investigation into the shooting, Kelly said.

“He’s terribly saddened by the death,” Kelly said.

“He’s sad for the family of the decedent and his loved ones.”

Protesters have focused on the Minnesota governor’s mansion in St. Paul since shortly after the shooting. More rallies and marches are planned for Saturday and today.

dallas police officer killings

A tragedy beyond color America’s killing fields WASHINGTON — Black lives matter. Blue lives matter. Both statements must be made true if the heartbreaking loss of life in Dallas is to have any meaning.

The killing spree that left five police officers dead and seven others wounded should be classified as an act of domestic terrorism.

The shooter, identified as 25-year-old Micah Xavier Johnson, apparently believed he was committing an act of political violence.

Our duty, to honor the fallen, is to ensure that Johnson’s vile and cowardly act has the opposite impact from what he sought.

Johnson, who was captured on video shooting one officer in the back, was killed when police, who had tried unsuccessfully to negotiate his surrender, sent a robot his way bearing an explosive device.

Enough about him, except this one thing: He said he was motivated by hatred over the deaths of two more black men — Alton Sterling in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and Philando Castile in Falcon Heights, Minnesota — at the hands of police.

The slain police officers were protecting a lawful, peaceful demonstration to protest those same deaths.

As the crowd, perhaps more than 800 strong, marched through downtown Dallas, there was anger but no real tension.

Certainly there was no sense of danger; police were not wearing riot gear or riding in armored vehicles. Instead, officers chatted and took selfies with the demonstrators.

They had no fear of encounter and dialogue.

The great irony is that Dallas is something of a model. Mayor Mike Rawlings was right when he told reporters that Dallas is “one of the premier community policing cities in the country.”

Eugene Robinson Since Police Chief David Brown took over in 2010, complaints of excessive force by officers have dropped by nearly twothirds. Police shootings have been halved, from 23 in 2012 to just 11 in 2015 — and only one so far this year, according to Police Department data.

Brown happens to be African-American, but that’s not the most significant thing about him. What’s important is that Brown was quick to understand that the chasm between police officers and young men of color was real — and that it could be bridged.

His officers undergo training in how to de-escalate conflicts rather than heat them up; they learn to speak calmly when approaching suspects instead of immediately barking orders. When there is a police shooting, uniformed presence around the scene is ramped down as soon as possible. The department, unlike many others, keeps track of police shootings and publishes the figures on the city’s website. And Brown keeps looking for new ways to improve relations between police and the community, realizing that diversity is not a destination but a shared journey.

The Dallas Police Department is not perfect, of course. But its efforts to improve the way officers interact with civilians stand in contrast to the appalling police work we saw in the cellphone videos recording the deaths that prompted protests around the country.

Sterling was on the

ground in front of a convenience store, restrained by officers and posing no apparent threat, when he was shot to death. Castile, pulled over in a traffic stop, was apparently reaching for his identification to hand it to the officer who shot him.

The video of Castile’s final moments was streamed on the internet by his girlfriend, Diamond Reynolds. In her narration, she says Castile informed the officer that he was licensed to carry a firearm. It is no stretch to imagine that to the officer, this meant Castile was an armed and dangerous black man — which leads me to a question I shouldn’t have to ask: Does the Second Amendment apply to African-Americans, too?

Where is the National Rifle Association statement decrying the fact that an American citizen might have been killed for exercising his constitutionally protected right to keep and bear arms?

But the solution is not more guns. The solution is to end the undervaluing of lives, both black and blue.

Poor, troubled, crimeridden communities are those that most want and need effective policing.

But the paradigm cannot be us versus them. It has to be us with us — a relationship of mutual respect.

I hope police officers around the nation see how rapidly and completely the people of Dallas — including those in the Black Lives Matter movement — have rallied around their city’s bereaved police department. I hope they understand that compassion for Sterling, Castile and others killed by police in no way mitigates the nation’s profound sorrow for the brave officers killed in Dallas. Such tragedy is beyond color.

Kathleen Parker Castile had no such luck.

Instead, he was surrounded by millions of onlookers, most of whom, I feel certain, suffered with and for him. “(Expletive)!” “(Expletive)!” “(Expletive)!” On the video, we hear the officer repeating the Fword as he realizes what has happened. Reynolds is saying, “Please don’t tell me this, Lord. Please, Jesus, don’t tell me that he’s gone,” she said. “Please, officer, don’t tell me that you just did this to him.”

My God. Friday morning, Castile’s mother bore into the television camera. She said people can look into her eyes, at that point 48 hours without sleep, and know that she’s not going away until justice is served.

Across the country, protesters had gathered peacefully Thursday evening to demonstrate against the shootings.

Enough.

Then suddenly in Dallas, the peace was shattered when shots were fired from a high vantage point. A shiver. Not again.

When it was all over, five officers were dead and another seven were wounded.

A suspected shooter is dead, too, killed by a police bomb robot. Why not. An non-human kills the in-human. Before he died, the man told officers he was upset about Black Lives Matter. He wanted to kill white people and white policemen, reported Dallas Police Chief David Brown at a news conference.

In Minneapolis, Gov.

Mark Dalton said he thinks that if Castile had been white, the officer wouldn’t have shot him. A retired New York City police detective wept as he spoke to CNN’s Chris Cuomo about the bravery of the Dallas officers who, carrying only pistols, were wearing protective vests they knew couldn’t deflect the bullets of the shooter’s weapon.

Imagine.

Then, too, imagine being a young black man who is taught early on that he has to be extra careful around the police. The worst will be expected of him.

“He shot his arm off,” we hear Castile’s girlfriend saying on the video. We see Castile’s blood-soaked shirt; we hear him groan and watch his head drop.

Black lives matter.

White lives matter. Blue lives matter. Does anything matter anymore? What is happening to this country? A wall-mounted gun manufacturer’s video ad welcomes visitors to the Columbia, South Carolina, airport. In Chicago today, no one will be surprised if a child is killed in gang crossfire. Will another black avenger try to kill another white cop? Will police still give black neighborhoods protection?

“They’re hunting us,” said Castile’s mother.

Madness.

For now we grieve with the families of the dead and talk of ways to stem the violence. But there’s really only one way to stop the killing, and it lies in changing our culture, beginning with recognizing every single person’s humanity — the black youth’s, the white officer’s, and every other in between. As Charles Blow, the New York Times columnist, put it: “Everyone deserves to go home.”

WASHINGTON — Horror. Shock. Disbelief.

Numbness. Grief. Anger.

And terrible sadness.

These fractured thoughts were all I could muster upon waking Friday to news of the ambush on Dallas police. They were still fresh in my mind from the night before when I’d turned in early, exhausted by the images of 32-yearold Philando Castile dying in Minnesota after a police officer shot him.

As we all know by now, Castile was black and the officer is not. It started as a routine stop for a broken taillight and ended in what has become a routine shooting followed by a routine headline.

“Black man shot by police officer.” How many times must we read those words?

Just 24 hours earlier, another black man, Alton Sterling, 37, was shot to death by police while being restrained in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.

Like Sterling, Castile did have a gun. Castile also had a conceal permit, which he apparently told the officer as soon as he was stopped. Why would someone tell a police officer he had a gun if he intended to use it?

Castile was reaching for his driver’s license and registration when the officer opened fire, says his girlfriend, Diamond Reynolds.

Reynolds used her cellphone to film the aftermath of the shooting, careful to address the officer as “sir” and follow his instructions.

Over and over I watched the video, trying to imagine being in that car, while at the same time feeling shame about watching a stranger who is mortally wounded.

Nothing is more intimate than death, which we all hope to face with dignity in the comforting presence of loved ones.

life every day. But the violence in our nation. What an incredibly sad day for our country.”

The man just wanted Ayers to know he Butch ayers was behind the police, in Gwinnett and Dallas.

Wrote another: “Know that there are many more of us out there who love you folks, pray for you and would never treat you with disrespect.”

Ayers forwarded these words to all Gwinnett County Police Department officers and employees.

He told troops what millions know: the killings of the Dallas officers “evokes strong emotions, ranging from shock and grief to anger and rage.”

But he found hope in the

“overwhelming” support.

In Lilburn, as much as the encouragement touched Hedley, it didn’t totally surprise him.

“The many times I’ve seen tragedies like this, I can always without a doubt count on the community to back us up,” he said.

“That’s always been the case.”

He also said he can always count on his officers.

He’d be lying if he said they aren’t thinking about ending up like the officers in Dallas every time they turn a corner, he said, “but they’re going to do their job.”

And they’re going to do it the right way, Hedley said.

They’re going to show the people of Lilburn that, just like every protester at that rally in Dallas didn’t want to see officers killed, every police officer isn’t like the ones who end up in cellphone videos on the news.

Senators want Clinton’s security clearance revoked U.S. Sen. David Perdue is calling for former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s security clearance in the aftermath of the FBI’s decision to David not bring Perdue charges against her in an ongoing email scandal.

Perdue, R-Ga., said in a statement that, as secretary of state, Clinton failed to make sure sensitive national information was protected.

The senator, who is chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee’s State Department and USAID Management Subcommittee, also admonished the presumptive Democratic nominee for president for using a private email server while working in the Department of State.

“Of all of the people involved in this scandal, Secretary Clinton should have known she was putting national security at risk and immediately stopped all non-secure communication involving classified information,” Perdue said.

“Secretary Clinton’s actions were a direct violation of the Sensitive Compartmented Information Nondisclosure Agreement she signed, but since the FBI has decided that Secretary Clinton is not subject to the law, at a minimum, her security clearance should be revoked.”

Although the FBI isn’t charging Clinton with any crimes, it’s not condoning how the emails — some of which were deemed “classified” — either. In a statement on Tuesday, FBI Director James B. Comey said Clinton and her col-

Political Notebook

Curt Yeomans leagues were extremely careless in their handling of very sensitive, highly classified information.”

Perdue isn’t the only person calling for Clinton’s clearance to be revoked. Sen. Johnny Isakson, R-Ga., echoed his sentiments, and coJohnny signed with Isakson Perdue and other senators on a letter to current Secretary of State John Kerry a letter requesting the revocation. The senators are also calling on Kerry to take action against Clinton aides who the FBI deemed to be equally to blame.

“When a person is elevated to such a high level of trust, such as Secretary of State, the public assumes the responsibilities of that position will not be taken lightly,” Isakson said in a statement. “Should her clearance be revoked, as we have asked it to be, it will be up to the American people to decide whether this severe lack of judgment in protecting our sensitive national security information from foreign enemies is a quality that they want in our next commander in chief.”

Meanwhile, Clinton’s presidential campaign has said on its website, hillaryclinton.com, that she did

nothing wrong.

“Her usage was widely known to the over 100 State Department and U.S. government colleagues she emailed, consistent with the practice of prior Secretaries of State and permitted at the time,” campaign officials wrote in a section of the site devoted to the emails issue.

“As Clinton has said, in hindsight, it would have been better to just have two accounts. While she thought using one account would be easier, obviously, that has not been the case.”

Advance voting underway in runoff Republican voters who live in one voting precinct in southwest Gwinnett can vote early in the upcoming Republican run-off for state House of Representatives District 81.

Advance voting began this past week at the Gwinnett Voter Registrations and Elections Office at 455 Grayson Jim Duffie Highway, in Lawrenceville.

The runoff, which features Jim Duffie and Lane Flynn, will Lane Flynn be held on July 26. It is the only run-off race in Gwinnett County.

Voters can go to the elections office between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. until July 22 to vote there.

Although most of District 81 is located outside of the county, there is one precinct in Gwinnett — No. 38, which is based at Stripling Elementary School. On

election day, voting will take place at the school, which is located at 6155 Atlantic Boulevard in Norcross.

Nash: Expect six-year SPLOST vote It’s a given that Gwinnett County voters will go to the polls in November and vote up or down on a proposed county SPLOST when they cast their ballots in the presiCharlotte dential Nash election, but how long that tax would last has not been as easy to pin down.

That answer is starting to become clearer, though, according to commission Chairwoman Charlotte Nash.

The commission is a little over a week away

from voting on an intergovernmental agreement with Gwinnett’s 16 cities, as well as a referendum to officially call for the referendum. Officials have two choices: a four-year SPLOST worth an estimated $600 million, or a six-year SPLOST worth an estimated $900 million.

Nash told the Daily Post on Thursday to expect the longer option.

“We anticipate calling the referendum for a six-year SPLOST,” she said.

Gwinnett Republicans set grand opening date for new headquarters The Gwinnett County Republican Party has announced it will celebrate the opening of its new headquarters at Gwinnett Place Mall next month in connection with its monthly breakfast.

Party leaders announced on Facebook that there were “a few hiccups” with getting

the new headquarters set up and they had to forego holding a breakfast this month.

The grand opening celebration will therefore be held on Aug. 6.

Upcoming • State Sen. Curt Thompson, D-Tucker, will host a citizen’s advisory forum from 10:30 a.m. to noon on July 16 at 45 South Cafe, 45 S. Peachtree St., in Norcross.

• The United Tea Party of Georgia is expected to hold its next Gwinnett Countybased meeting at 7 p.m. on July 26 at Praise the Lard BBQ, 1350 Buford Highway, in Buford. WSB Radio talk show host Monica Perez is scheduled to be the guest speaker. The group will also meet before that, albeit in Cumming, on Monday.

TRAVELING WITH ELDERLY PARENTS

FRIENDS &

Recognizing and Dealing with Early Onset Alzheimer’s Disease.

The recent death of basketball coaching legend Pat Summit at 64 has renewed interest in Early Onset Alzheimer’s disease. Everyday I am often asked questions about when and how it strikes peoples often in the ‘prime of life. In 2016 nearly 5.4 million Americans are living with some stage of Alzheimer’s.

Here are some things to be aware of.....

Early Onset Alzheimer’s is typically recognized by memory loss. Pat Summit first realized she had a problem when calling a routine offensive play on court and went totally blank. Sufferers also experience muscle twitching and spasms. Typically this strikes before age 65, many times in the 40’s and 50’s. After age 65, the risk doubles every five years and reaches nearly 50% according to the Alzheimer’s Association.

Causes: It seems to be caused by a buildup in the brain of proteins plaques and tangles. Scientists believe this buildup kill brain cells The tangles that are formed then block the movement of nutrients and other essential supplies inside brain cells thereby killing them. There is also a body of evidence that show heredity can cause this disease.

Other Symptoms: Besides memory loss, symptoms include confusion, misplacing things, trouble performing tasks, changes in personality and behavior, decreased judgment, inability to follow directions, language problems, impaired visuospatial skills, social withdrawal and a loss of motivation or initiative. In more severe cases, victims also forget how to perform basic tasks such as dressing themselves or going to the bathroom.

Sadly they forgot how to walk, chew food and end up bedridden. The incidences in pneumonia among late stage sufferers kills many with Alzheimer’s.

How is it Diagnosed: Many things can cause mental confusion and memory problems, such as strokes, or mini-strokes, brain tumors, certain medications, infections or a condition known as hydrocephalus in which fluid accumulates in the brain. Doctors need to perform a variety of tests to determine if a person’s memory problems are truly caused by Alzheimer’s.

Doctors diagnose Alzheimer’s by taking a medical history, conducting memory tests, doing physical and neurological exams, running blood tests and scanning the brain with procedures such as PET scans. A PET scan can detect amyloid proteins in the brain, a sign of Alzheimer’s.

What progress is being made?

Doctors hope to treat underlying causes, not just symptoms. Many experimental drugs aim to stop the creation of brain plaques. Future treatments could include a cocktail of medications similar to current stateof-the-art treatments for AIDS and certain cancers.

Congress has increased federal funding for Alzheimer’s research, bringing the total to about $1 billion a year, all aimed at better understanding triggers for the disease and treatment options. With more investment and research will come better understanding and treatment options.

Harris doesn’t make Olympic team From staFF reports

Duluth grad finishes 7th in 110-meter hurdles

EUGUENE, Ore. — Duluth graduate Aleec Harris will have to put his Olympic hopes on ice for at least four more years.

The former USC Trojan finished seventh in the finals of the 110-meter hurdles in the U.S. Olympic track and field trials at Hayward Field with a time of 13.56.

NCAA champion Devon Allen of Oregon took the title with a 13.03, while Ronnie Ash and Jeff Porter each made the Olympic team with a 13.21.

After posting the fourth-fastest time of the day on Friday at 13.61, Harris ran a 13.54 in his semifinal heat to finish

third. He reached the finals with one of the top two times outside of the top two automatic qualifiers from each heat.

He posted the sixth-best time in semifinals. Ash posted the fasted semifinal time with a 13.34.

Harris entered the meet with the best qualifying time in the event, 13.11

from last summer at a meet in France.

2012 Olympic gold medalist Aries Merritt won’t get a chance to defend his title as he finished fourth. Jason Richardson finsihed fifth, Jarret Eaton was sixth and David Oliver had to pull out of the finals with a hamstring injury.

At 93, Stovall has shot his age or better at least once every year since he turned 80.

The longtime member at Berkeley Hills Country Club just had to wait for his game to catch up to his age.

“I’m a 15 to 20 handicap all of my life,” Stovall said with a grin and a shake of his head. “I’ve played at golf. I’ve never been a student of the game. I just go out there and hack away for the fun and fellowship.”

Stovall has been playing since he was a teenager and still has two clubs left from

and city courses, you name it,” Stovall said. “And when I traveled, I went to a good many conventions for Southern Wholesalers Association, and they always had a golf tournament.”

He’s played on courses up and down the eastern seaboard, from Pennsylvania to Florida and most states in between.

“I’ve lost track,” Stovall — Berkeley Hills’ Bill Stovall said, starting to smile as he added, “If I had known that those days out on the local I was going to live this long links with his neighborhood and play this much golf, friends.

“I would hold the horses that they exchanged while they were riding a fresh horse,” he said. “Beautiful place. It saddens me to see it going commercial.”

Stovall graduated from Tech High in 1941 and went to work for a clearinghouse.

“I made $69 a month there and the war effort was picking up,” he said. “I knew I was in the draft but I was able to get an Atlanta ordnance depot job making $120 a month. I took that job until I was drafted and then I took a pay cut to $29 a month as a private in the Army.”

For many, the 2016 All-Star Futures Game today at Petco Park in San Diego marks not only the beginning of All-Star week for Major League Baseball, but a glimpse of — as the

For a handful of those up-andcoming minor-league prospects, it represents something else.

It’s not uncommon for even the most set-in-their-ways high school football coaches to tinker with a few things during the summer with the idea of installing them in time for the next season.

However, Hebron Christian head coach Kevin Shaffer has spent the summer preparing the Lions for quite a makeover in 2016, particularly on offense.

“We’re putting in a whole new system on offense,” Shaffer said.

“It’ll be a little more (with the quarterback) under center. It’ll still be close to a 50-50 mix and still have some (shot) gun, but … it’s been kind of exciting to see how the puzzle is coming together.”

With a combination of new faces and familiar faces in new places, both on the field and on the coaching staff, there is definitely quite a few different pieces to that puzzle for Hebron this year.

Chief among those new pieces is a change in who will be running the offense, as former NFL

During Jason Carrera’s first summer as Meadowcreek’s head football coach a year ago, the Mustangs raised a few eyebrows during the summer 7-on-7 season, which set the stage for the program’s best regular season in 14 years.

Carrera admits the atmosphere and focus is a little different for his second summer at the helm, but the long-term goals — helping the Meadowcreeek program establish sustainable competitiveness — remain the same as the beginning of preseason practice approaches in mere weeks.

“We’re not as far along (overall) as we were last year because we had some (key) seniors,” Carrera said. “That’s why we chose to do no spring (practice) and have the extra (preseason) scrimmage in August. We need to be on the field that first week in August.

“Now, am I happy with how we’ve done during our 7-on-7s?

Yes. The defense is probably further along than we are on offense right now, and we’re not shying away from competition.”

True, Carerra has liked a lot of what he’s seen thus far this

Frazier leads White Sox past Braves The SporTS Xchange CHICAGO — Third baseman Todd Frazier of the Chicago White Sox is swinging a hot bat, but that will not necessarily translate into success in next week’s home run derby.

“That’s a totally different swing,” Frazier said with a smile. “Different bat, too.”

On Saturday, Frazier’s regular bat carried plenty of power. He went 2-for4 with a double, a home run and three RBIs as the White Sox held on for a 5-4 win over the Atlanta Braves.

Frazier has homered in back-to-back games and leads the team with 25 home runs.

“His swings have looked a lot better,” White Sox manager Robin Ventura said. “He’s realizing maybe you can shorten it up somewhat and still get it over there. I know they had a big shift on him.”

Tim Anderson, Melky Cabrera, Brett Lawrie and J.B. Shuck each added two hits for the White Sox. Chicago (45-42) earned its fifth win in the last seven games and its eighth win in the past 12 games.

Jeff Francoeur finished 1-for-4 with a home run and two RBIs to lead the Braves. Gordon Beckham and Freddie Freeman hit solo home runs for Atlanta (30-58).

Feeling Twenty-Two

Serena wins Wimbledon, Grand Slam title No. 22

By Martyn HerMan Reuters

LONDON — The third time was indeed the charm for Serena Williams as she finally matched Steffi Graf’s professional era record of 22 grand slam singles titles by beating Angelique Kerber to claim a seventh Wimbledon crown on Saturday.

Top seed Williams was forced to play some of her best tennis by resolute Kerber in an engrossing Centre Court duel in which her formidable firepower proved decisive in a 7-5, 6-3 over her German opponent.

Kerber had stopped Williams in the Australian Open final to win her first grand slam title and last month Spain’s Garbine Muguruza also kept the 34-year-old waiting to equal Graf’s mark when she beat her in the French Open final.

Williams, who racked up grand slam No. 21 against Muguruza at last year’s Wimbledon, also stumbled at the 2015 U.S. Open, losing to Roberta Vinci in the semi-finals when a calendar year Grand Slam and Graf’s record loomed.

But this time Williams

would not be denied.

To her great credit, fourth seed Kerber used her skilful shot placement and scrambling ability to stay in contention throughout a fascinating match of contrasting styles.

But with the Williams serve at its destructive best, there was only so much punishment the 28-year-old Kerber could absorb on a breezy Centre Court.

The end came quickly when the German was broken for the second time in the match in the seventh game of the second set and Williams roared to the title with a love game, sealing victory with a simple volley before collapsing to the turf.

“It’s been incredibly difficult not to think about it (Graf’s record),” a smiling Williams, cheered on by celebrity couple Beyonce and Jay Z as well as sister Venus in her support box, said on court as she clutched the Venus Rosewater Dish.

“I had a couple of tries this year but lost to two great opponents, one of them being Angelique. But it makes the victory even sweeter to know how hard I worked for it.

“Thanks you guys for be-

ing out here to see No. 22, this is awesome,” she said to an appreciative crowd which was treated to a one hour, 21 minute final full of absorbing rallies.

Kerber warmly embraced Williams once the emotional American rose to her feet — saying later

match, I think she won it.”

Williams won 38 of 43 points on her first serve and faced only one break point, at 3-3 in the second set, which she saved with one of the 13 aces she delivered.

“It’s the single greatest weapon in the history of the women’s game, followed closely by her will to win,” was three-time men’s champion John McEnroe’s succinct summing up of what puts world No. 1 Williams in a league of her own.

Kerber reached the final without conceding a set and scuppered hopes of a first all-Williams grand slam final since 2009 when beating Venus in the semis.

With a stunning win against Serena in Melbourne, the German walked on court full of belief — winning the opening point with a cleanly struck forehand.

Williams, patrolling her she had been beaten by a baseline with menace, bit “great champion and a great into the Kerber serve in person. the second game but failed “Serena was serving to convert any of the three unbelievable today. She re- break points she had. ally played an unbelievable An intense scrap develmatch,” said Kerber, who oped from then on as Wilwill rise to second in the liams attacked incessantly WTA rankings on Monday. and Kerber bravely traded “I think I didn’t lose the blows.

Williams bent double and pumped both fists when winning a long rally on serve at 3-3 as Kerber briefly threatened.

She was also taken to deuce on serve at 4-4 and 30-30 at 5-5, yelling “C’mon” as she kept her nose in front.

Having coped with the heavy artillery heading her way, Kerber’s downfall was self-inflicted, as two poor errors opened the door for Williams to take the opener.

Kerber then screamed her delight at one searing winner early in the second set and finally earned a break point at 3-3 — Williams responding with consecutive aces.

Williams ended up in a heap on the floor in the next game after a closequarters exchange but got up to break for a 5-3 lead as Kerber finally crumbled.

She joyfully returned to the turf shortly afterward as her trusty serve powered her home.

Serena returned to Centre Court later to claim a sixth Wimbledon women’s doubles title with Venus against fifth seeds Timea Babos and Yaroslava Shvedova.

All in all, not a bad day’s work.

Murray now the favorite as the usual suspects go missing

By Marty HerMan Reuters

LONDON — Canadian Milos Raonic will not be the only man experiencing something new on Wimbledon’s Centre Court today — for the first time, Britain’s Andy Murray will start a grand slam final as favorite after crushing Tomas Berdych in the semis.

Murray was seeded to meet world No. 1 Novak Djokovic in another major showdown, but the Serb’s shock early exit opened the door for sixth seed Raonic to reach his maiden grand slam final after making the semis two years ago.

“I’ll just concentrate on my side, do what I can to prepare well for it and see what happens.”

Murray’s most recent encounter with the big-serving Raonic came in the preWimbledon warm-up event at Queen’s Club when he beat him in a fiercely contested final having trailed.

“It’s obviously an opportunity. I put myself in a position to try and win the (Wimbledon) event again.

It’s against someone new that I’m playing against in the final,” Murray said.

“But Milos is a very tough opponent. He’s played very well on the grass this year and has earned his right to (be in) the final by beating one

of the best, if not the best, player ever at this event. So he deserves to be there.”

Raonic has played two tough five-setters to reach the final, against David Goffin in round four and Friday’s thriller with Federer, whereas Murray’s path has been relatively smooth.

A two-hour semifinal against Berdych, in which he made only nine unforced errors for a 6-3, 6-3, 6-3 win, was about as stressfree as it gets at the business end of a grand slam tournament.

“I feel pretty calm just now, maybe because of the way the match went,” Murray said. “There weren’t many complications.

“I feel fairly calm.”

Marsh to begin pro baseball career after signing with Angels

It took a little while longer than he would have hoped, but a month after he was taken in the Major League Baseball First-Year Player Draft, Brandon Marsh’s professional career is about to begin.

While he declined to discuss the specific terms of his contract, the 6-foot4, 210-pound outfielder did confirm that his signing bonus was close to Buford’s Brandon Marsh dives into second base during the approximately $1.08 Game 1 of the Wolves’ sweep of Eastside in the semifi- million figure set for the nals of the Class AAAA state tournament.

summer, though he also acknowledges that there are two main areas in particular he is keeping an eye on as summer workouts progress to help the Mustangs put themselves in a position to either equal, or even better, last year’s 3-7 campaign.

The first involves simple numbers.

“We’re young, and we’re trying to get experience on the field on both sides of the ball,” Carrera said.

“We’re trying to fill in some positions so that we don’t have to have so many people play both ways and increase our depth. We have some guys out there who we need to step up this year because we lost a few kids here and there, and we’ve gained one or two here and there. So it’s been a normal summer in that respect.”

With several key positions vacated by graduated seniors from last year, the second area Carrera emphasized — getting younger players from last year to step in and produce — is just as paramount to Meadowcreek’s prospects for the fall.

And no position will be more important to find a new starter at than quarterback, where graduated

senior Darion Hammons leaves big shoes bend to be filled.

As of now, it appears rising junior Triston Harris has made major strides in that direction since moving over from running back.

“He’s a junior, and he’s done a great job in 7-on7s,” Carrera said of Harris.

“He’s really caught on well.”

Harris isn’t the only player who has had to learn a new position this summer, and Carrera has been equally pleased with the transition from linebacker to free safety by fellow rising junior Quvella Calhoun.

Of course, he also admits there’s still a long way to go for the Mustangs as a team as the 2016 season draws closer.

“My biggest thing right now is learning schemes and having consistency so that we do things correctly on a consistent basis,” Carrera said. “That’s hard to do with a long of young kids, but we’re getting there.”

player Jeff Saturday, who served as a community coach with the offensive line last year, takes over as offensive coordinator in place of former Georgia Tech and NFL receiver Greg Lester, who moves over to defense to coach the secondary.

Joining Saturday on the offensive staff will be community coaches Ed Stokes, a former Central Gwinnett head coach and Peachtree Ridge assistant, and John Lewis, a former eight-grade coach in the Peachtree Ridge cluster, to help implement the new system.

According to Shaffer, the two new assistants aren’t the only two voices Saturday has listened to in coming up with the Lions’ new offensive approach.

“Jeff’s a new coach,” Shaffer pointed out. “So, it’s not like he’s coming in with (an established) system. It’s still kind of all in his mind, and it’s kind of interesting seeing him put it on paper. He’s consulted with some other coaches — I know he spoke with Shannon Jarvis over at Mill Creek.

I know he learned a lot from him. He spoke with

bases and a 1.545 OPS in helping the Wolves to a Class AAAA state runnerup finish this past spring.

He also set a county record with 66 total hits on the season, and his 59 runs scored were the second most in Gwinnett history.

He has not played since an incredible 8-for-11 stretch in the state championship series against Locust Grove in late May. However, Marsh has continued working out, and he is confident the break will not set him back as he begins his pro career.

“The rest I took the last three or four weeks

may come into play,” Marsh said. “But for the past four years, I played football, basketball and baseball back-to-back. I dropped basketball about two years ago, which really helped my baseball.

“I haven’t had that much time off in high school, so (the current break) is a bit foreign to me. But I think it will help me out in the long run. … I’ve just got to go out and prove myself. The (Arizona League) season is already going, so I’m a little behind right now.

But my job is to go out and make it so where they can’t keep me off the field.”

some (ex-coaches currently working) at ESPN. He’s talked with (former NFL quarterback) Mark Brunell, who’s coaching high school ball now (at Episcopal School in Jacksonville).

“It’s taken some time to get the system installed.

We’ve done less 7-on-7 this summer. We’ve done some, but we didn’t go to camp this year. … It’s exciting to see how the offense is coming together.”

How the offense comes together will also depend on the on-field personnel, particularly under center, where rising junior Troy Allen will see a lot more action after sharing time with graduated senior Chris McGee and

accounting for 425 yards and five touchdowns a year ago.

Likewise, fellow junior B.J. Riley (723 yards total offense, 2 TDs) figures to take on a different role by moving full-time into the running back spot after sharing carries with Steven DuBose and splitting time at receiver.

“Troy’s been working hard and has learned some lessons over the offseason,” Shaffer said.

“We’re expecting good things from him. With Riley, when he ran the ball last year, he did well.

But with Steve, we didn’t want to take too many carries away from him.

So (Riley) could have a breakout year (this fall).”

Futures Baseball First-Year Player Draft.

The 6-foot, 205-pound outfielder is currently among the leaders of all minor league hitters with 19 home runs to go with a .248 batting average, 48 RBIs and a .922 OPS in 274 at bats over 80 games for the Tigers’ Class A (Advanced) affiliate in Lakeland, Fla., this season.

And the honor of being recognized by MLB as one of the top minor league prospects has Stewart even more encouraged about his future.

“I got the call (about his selection to the Futures

Game) when I was sitting on the bus heading to a game,” the 2011 Daily Post Co-Player of the Year, and Georgia’s single-season high school home run record holder, recalled. “One of the (player development staff) from up top (in the Detroit organization) called and told me. I was pumped.

“I’ve been feeling pretty good lately, just taking each at bat as it comes and trying not to do too much.

With this being my first full season (in pro ball), it’s been a fun ride so far.”

Unfortunately for Meadows, he won’t be taking

part in the metro Atlanta reunion at the Futures AllStar Game this weekend after he remains on the disabled list, where he was placed by Indianapolis on July 1 due to a nagging right hamstring.

“Yeah, it’s disappointing, but I’ll definitely be watching on TV … rooting for those guys,” Meadows said. “It’s a pretty cool honor to be selected, … but my main concern is getting healthy and getting back out there (for Indianapolis) and just being smart about it.”

Meadows has already bounced back from one in-

jury this season, a fractured orbital bone the suffered after a freak accident on the first day of spring training in February.

When he came back, he earned a promotion from Double-A Altoona to Triple-A Indianapolis by the Pittsburgh Pirates late last month.

He is currently hitting a combined .296 with eight homers, 29 RBIs, 11 stolen bases and a .938 OPS in 57 total games.

Meadows is also listed as No. 10 prospect among Baseball America’s Top 100 prospects, just three spots below Swanson.

my dues. We were making out like bandits.”

Berkeley Hills remains his favorite course to play.

For obvious reasons.

“I know every blade of grass here,” said Stovall, whose grandson Clayton Stovall was captain of the North Gwinnett golf team.

In April, Stovall scored an 89 at Berkeley Hills, one in a string of 10 consecutive rounds when he shot his age or better this year.

“On No. 10, I’m in the sand, under the lip, can’t get the ball out,” Stovall said. “I hit a good tee shot and a good second shot.

Third shot, toward the green, went in the sand.

Had to hit the ball sideways away from the flag stick. It took two more shots to get it playable and I took an 8 on it. I said, ‘Well, the string is busted.’

“I wound up adding my score up and had 93 —

and didn’t cheat.”

In May, Stovall had nine pars and one birdie on his way to an 83.

All of this continues to be a surprise to him, especially as the weather warmed and took its toll on the ball’s range.

“See at this age, you don’t hit the ball very long,” Stovall said.“Then miraculously almost, the last 10 golf games I’ve played have been 93 or better, with my low score being 83.”

Stovall, spry and charismatic, exercises several days a week while doing his own yardwork and gardening.

“It’s one thing I attribute my longevity to,” he said.

“I used to walk for 45 minutes to an hour and pick up golf balls. I supplied all of my friends. The pro shop suffered with golf ball sales. I knew all the places to go.”

Stovall in active duty — he served three more years in the reserves — he returned to Atlanta and went back to work at the ordnance depot.

“I decided I needed to go to school, so I enrolled in Oglethorpe University,” he said. “I was not a good college student. So an opportunity opened for me to get a job with the national tube division of the U.S. Steel Corporation. I spent 42 years in the carbon-steel pipe industry. Which included underground piping and structural piping.”

His frequent work trips afforded Stovall a chance to play regularly, but between the trips and a long commute, he moved the family to Berkeley Hills in 1969.

He had joined the club two years earlier and built a home half a block from the clubhouse.

“The reason I happened to join this club is my company moved its office

from southwest Atlanta to Buford Highway in Norcross/Doraville,” Stovall said. “This was before the interstate was finished, out 85, and I was having to go Buford Highway part of the way and the interstate part of the way.

“With four children at home, I was spending all of my time going to and from work. Then I traveled a good bit also. So this became a convenient spot.”

When they moved in, the surrounding area was still farm land.

“As a matter of fact, I had a vegetable garden where the No. 3 tee box is now,” Stovall said.

He joined for $500 and the monthly dues were $30.

“I had four teenage children and all four worked here, busboy, busgirl, lifeguard, in the pro shop,” Stovall said. “They were making more money than

Atlanta scored its first goal of the match in the 23rd minute. Rachel Garcia got the ball off a deflection and put it in the top right corner of the net to make it a 2-1 margin.

Scoring opportunities were plenty for Atlanta, but the team struggled to convert them. They were awarded five corner kicks and got a total of 13 shots in the game, but Knoxville repeatedly cleared the ball when Atlanta got it in the box.

Gwinnett 6-4

From StaFF reportS CHARLOTTE, N.C. — The Charlotte Knights rallied for three runs in the bottom of the seventh inning for a come-frombehind 6-4 win over the Gwinnett Braves on Saturday night in the third game of the four-game series at BB&T Ballpark.

With the loss, Gwinnett’s lead in the International League South Division has been trimmed to a half game over Charlotte (41-50).

The comeback win for the Knights spoiled a fine comeback for the G-Braves (41-49) that saw them rally from a 3-0 deficit to take the lead in the top of the seventh.

With Aaron Blair on the mound for Gwinnett, the Knights took an early 1-0 lead on a secondinning RBI single by Jake Peter.

The Charlotte lead grew to 3-0 in the bottom of the third. One run scored on a throwing error by Blair with a man on third, the other on a single by Jerry Sands.

The G-Braves began their comeback in the top of the fifth as Matt Lipka stroked a two-out double to right-center off Charlotte starting pitcher Jacob Turner. Lipka scored from second on a bouncing ball off the bat of Mel Rojas Jr. that deflected off the glove of Knights’ shortstop Marcus Lemon for an error.

In the top of the sixth, Reid Brignac led off with a single to center, moved to third on a single to right from Ronnier Mustelier and scored on a sacrifice fly to center

by Rio Ruiz, cutting the Charlotte lead to 3-2.

Then in the top of the seventh, facing Charlotte reliever Juan Minaya, Blake Lalli drew a leadoff walk and scored from first on a triple down the

third base line by Lipka to tie the game at 3-3.

With two outs, Brignac tripled to left, scoring Lipka from third for a 4-3 lead.

However, the bottom of the seventh spelled doom for the G-Braves. With Matt Marksberry pitching and one out, Jason Bourgeois reached second on infield single and throwing error by third baseman Sean Kazmar.

After two outs, Gwinnett elected to bring in Brandon Cunniff from the bullpen. He walked Sands and Slade Heathcott to load the bases and then walked Danny Muno, pushing across Bourgeois to tie the game at 4-4.

Peter followed with a single to center, scoring Sands and Heathcott for a 6-4 lead.

Blair pitched five innings with six hits, three earned runs, three walks and five strikeouts in a no-decision. Marksberry worked 1 2/3 innings with two hits, one earned run and two strikeouts.

Cunniff (L, 2-3) went 1/3 of an inning with one hit, two earned runs, three walks and one strikeout.

Maikel Cleto pitched one inning with two strikeouts.

Turner worked six innings for Charlotte with six hits, two runs (one earned), one walk and seven strikeouts. Minaya (W, 1-1) went one inning with two hits, two runs, two walks and two strikeouts. Ryan Webb (H, 1) pitched one inning with one hit and one strikeout.

Brad Goldberg (S, 5) worked one inning with one hit.

Offensively, Lipka was 2-for-4 with a double, triple, two runs scored and an RBI. Mustelier went 2-for-3 for his team-leading 23rd multihit game. Brignac was 2-for-5 with a triple, a run scored and an RBI.

Ko takes the lead with a birdie on 18

By Eric GilmorE The Sports Xchange

SAN MARTIN, Calif.

— Top-ranked Lydia Ko of New Zealand moved to the top of the leaderboard on Saturday at the U.S. Women’s Open, shooting a 2-under 70 with a birdie on the final hole in the third round to take a oneshot lead at CordeValle Golf Club.

Ko is at 7-under 209 for the tournament, one shot ahead of Eun-Hee Ji and second-round leader Sung Hyun Park, both of South Korea, entering the final round Sunday. Ji also carded a 70 and Park struggled to a 74.

Brittany Lang (68) and Amy Yang (73) of South Korea are two shots behind, and Angela Stanford (71) trails by three.

Ko sank a nine-foot birdie putt on the par-5 18th hole to break a threeway tie for first with Ji and Park.

The 19-year-old Ko has won two majors — the ANA Inspiration this year

and the Evian Championship last year — but she’s trying to win her first U.S. Women’s Open title. She hasn’t finished higher than a tie for 12th in four previous tries.

Ji is the only player at or near the top of the leader board who has won the U.S. Women’s Open, capturing the title in 2009. That year she was in second place after three rounds.

Ji has no other finish

in the tournament higher than a tie for 27th in eight attempts. She has only one other victory on the LPGA Tour in 10 seasons.

Yang had at least a share of the 54-hole lead in each of the last two U.S. Women’s Opens. She finished runner-up to In Gee Chun of South Korea last year and finished fourth in 2014 when Michelle Wie won.

This time she will try to come from behind to win

after shooting 73 in the third round.

Park was 8-under after the second round and led Yang and Mirim Lee by two shots, Ko and Haru Nomura by three.

Park was 9-under for the tournament through eight holes Saturday but doublebogeyed the ninth, falling into a tie for first with Yang.

Park drove wide right into a lateral hazard, took a drop and needed three more shots to get on the green, where she faced a 45-foot first putt.

Lang made a strong move up the leaderboard, with her 68 the best score of the day. She jumped from a tie for 20th to a tie for fourth.

Lang has one career LPGA Tour victory but four top-15 finishes in the U.S. Women’s Open. She tied for second in 2005, fifth in 2010, seventh in 2013 and 14th in 2015.

Stanford birdied three of her final four holes and shot 1-under, moving for a tie for 10th to sixth place.

Noren leads by two at Scottish Open rEutErs Swede Alex Noren birdied the last two holes to break clear of a tightly bunched leaderboard and move two strokes in front after the third round of the Scottish Open in Inverness on Saturday.

The 33-year-old, a four-time winner on the European Tour, fired a

four-under-par 68 at Castle Stuart Golf Links to end a wildly fluctuating day of early sunshine and heavy rain showers in the afternoon with a 12-under total of 204.

England’s Tyrrell Hatton (66) and Italian Matteo Manassero (68) were tied for second, with New Zealand’s Danny Lee (70) and South African Justin

Walters (65) a further stroke back at nine-under.

Five players held at least a share of the lead during a topsy-turvy third round but Noren, who had been one ahead overnight, reclaimed top spot with birdies at the par-three 17th and the parfive last.

“I’m very happy,” Noren told reporters. “The last nine was very tough. …

When you think that there are not that many brutal holes, it’s just that the easier holes get tougher, the medium holes get tougher, it’s really just about staying dry.

“The course played pretty much the same though.

It stayed dry, and maybe another course would have flooded, so it’s pretty nice to play on these surfaces in this weather.

While Medieval Times might seem as if it has a limited number of employees during shows — it has about 30 to 35 people running or participating in any given show. However, it’s actually a major undertaking with 200 people working at the castle.

Fifty of those people make up Medieval Times’ national call center staff, who handle reservations and customer questions for the company’s nine U.S. castles.

On top of that, the castle has 24 horses, three Barbary Falcons and one Eurasian Eagle Owl. The staff includes a master falconer and her apprentices, knights, stable hands, servers and wenches, bar staff, a kitchen staff that has to be prepared to feed as many as 1,100 people per show.

Every meal served to an audience member during the show consists of a a piece of garlic bread, a tomato bisque soup, half of a roasted chicken, a short cob of sweet buttered corn, an herb-basted potato, a pastry, an optional cup of coffee and two rounds of drinks.

“If you think about it, Top left, kids participate in the when we have three shows Knight Training Program on in a day, they have to preWednesday in Lawrenceville, inpare more than 3,000 pieces cluding Adaeze Nwaobi, top right, of everything we serve,” who practices her sword fighting Padrick said. “But our during the session. Above, the king, Charles Groves, knights kitchen staff makes it work birthday boy Liam Petitone, 4, every time.”

Knighthood a full-time job The crux of a Medieval Times show is the tournament involving the knights who represent each of the six color-coded regions.

It involves jousting, horsemanship, swordsmanship and skills with other medieval weapons, such as an axe or a mace. It starts off with the knights doing non-violent contests, such as catching rings on their lances, and escalates to jousts and finally the knights fight each other “to the death.”

Head knight Jason Jones said the knights work 37-40 hours per week between performing and training.

Fitness, Jones said, is the key to a knight being able to take the physical pounding he goes through in a show.

“Muscles look cool, but they also prevent injuries,” he said. “If you’re 120 pounds and you take a little sword to your hip when you’ve got nothing there, you’re going to get a bone

bruise but if you put a little padding on you, a little muscle on you, it prevents injuries.”

It’s not easy to become a knight at Medieval Times, either. Jones said a prospective knight has to undergo about 400 hours of training before he is ready to fight in the arena. They start off working in the stables and work their way up to being a squire before moving on to train for knighthood.

“Most of (the training) is horse-based,” Jones said.

“We’ll have an hour or two, maybe two-and-a-half hours of just straight horse training in the mornings. A guy can learn to fight within a three-month span if he’s really gung-ho. Being a horse rider in a three-month span is not too realistic. It can be done, but you’re looking at at least six months to a year to teach them correctly.”

Noble horses …

The castle uses three types of horses for shows and events: Andalusians, Quarter Horses and Friesians.

Jones said a lot of work goes into caring for the two dozen horses used at the Atlanta castle, which has an on-site stable as well as an off-site one. The work includes daily changing of the wood chips in their stalls, baths before and after shows, and frequent visits by a veterinarian who keeps individual files on each horse.

“We have a nice ranch about 25 minutes from here where, on Mondays and Tuesdays, they get their days off,” Jones said. “Our horse trainer actually lives at the ranch so he transports the horses back and forth on those days so they all get a rotation of having a vacation and having a day off, which

castle, as well as an off-site area where they are taken to rest and spend some time outdoors. The falconry staff at the castle consists of master falconer Debbie Tennyson and three apprentices.

Like the horses, the falcons are rotated out and the owl is only used for educational purposes.

Visitors praise family friendly atmosphere A large number of people who visit Medieval Times are families who bring young children to the show.

The staff also puts on special theme nights and day shows for scout troops and school groups. There’s even a DragonCon Night where guests are encouraged to wear costumes. It also has junior knight training for children before some shows. That family focus is what some visitors said they like the most about the place.

“It’s an interesting place for kids to experience,” said Woodstock resident Josh Bernhardt, who came with his wife and their son to a show on June 29.

Padrick chalked it up to what the castle put in the show — and what it leaves out.

“It’s a clean show, so there’s no blood, no gore, no inappropriate language,” he said. “But there’s enough action and enough fun participation that adults are also drawn to it.”

Petitone said her family has been to the castle twice — she said her son sat mesmerized throughout the first visit — and they plan to come back again in the future.

“It’s awesome, it’s really wonderful,” she said.

AUBURN Library to host Goosebumps Party Children are invited to visit the Auburn Public Library on Tuesday dressed as something that would otherwise, well, give them the goose bumps.

The library will host a Goosebumps Party from 11 a.m. to noon in celebration of R.L. Stine’s popular children’s horror fiction book series, whose lengthy list of titles includes “Welcome to Dead House,” “Night of the Living Dummy” and “How I Got My Shrunken Head.”

Children are encouraged to attend the party in costume.

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

BERKELEY LAKE Safety grant for city saves taxpayers $10K City Administrator Tom Rozier recently helped obtain a safety grant that saved residents thousands of dollars, according a news release from Mayor Lois Salter.

“It is getting harder and harder to win grants and Tom’s efforts saved our taxpayers $10,000,” Salter said.

The money was spent on a safety installation at a curve on Lakeshore Drive where several accidents occurred, Salter said.

She said the funds also went toward stop-bars at the intersections in Berkeley Walk, Berkeley Field and Miramont.

“When you see Tom, thank him for his efforts in holding your taxes down,” Salter said.

“He does that diligently and often in many ways that go unreported.”

BRASELTON Business celebrates new location Elements Day Spa and Marketplace has moved from Brassie Lane to near Braselton Antique Mall in downtown Braselton.

“Our long awaited and much anticipated move is finally a reality!” the company wrote on Facebook. The decision to expand and leave our sweet little building on Brassie Lane was a bitter sweet but a much needed one!

Gaining perspective on the War on Terror Like many Americans, I’ve been critical of President Obama’s handling of the War on Terror. I sometimes find it infuriating — again, just like a lot of other folks — that he steadfastly refuses even to utter the words “Islamic terrorism.”

Much of that criticism may be well-warranted. And yet, I think we have to acknowledge that sometimes we don’t have all the information and therefore our judgments are not entirely fair or accurate.

Recently I had the opportunity to visit with a good friend of mine, a former high-ranking military officer,

One of the things he shared is that U.S. air forces have been absolutely pummeling ISIS in Iraq for the last 18 months, to the tune of an estimated 40,000 enemy casualties. Even better, he noted that we’ve just about eradicated the organization’s Rob more experienced, cautious Jenkins fighters.

In troops, which is something other words, he’s in a posiyou hear often these days: tion to know a lot of stuff you “Why doesn’t Obama just and I probably don’t. send in the Marines and wipe

those guys out?”

He surprised me by saying that, based on his experiences in that part of the world, sending in ground troops would be the worst mistake we could make. “That’s exactly what ISIS wants us to do,” he said, going on to explain that, as long as we’re simply providing air support at the request of the Iraqi government, we are (relatively) welcome allies. It’s when we put troops on the ground that we’re seen by the local residents as invaders, which greatly complicates the mission.

I even gained some perspective on Obama’s

hesitance to put “Islamic” and “terrorist” in the same sentence.

Virtually all our allies in the Middle East, the people we’re counting on to help us defeat the terrorists, are Muslims. But to them, the difference between themselves and ISIS, al-Qaida or the Taliban is huge. They regard those groups in much the same way most Christians regard the anti-gay protesters from Westboro Baptist Church. We don’t believe their actions reflect our values and therefore don’t want to be associated with them.

Think about it: As a Christian, wouldn’t you be

The foundation has awarded 55 college scholarships.

“I truly believe that in every child there is potential for excellence, which serves as the guiding principle of the Brian Jordan Foundation,” Jordan said in a press release.

“I am proud to be able to invest in this next generation of engineers and artists, journalists and scientists, and doctors and business moguls.

incensed if commentators kept referring to the Westboro folks as “Christian protesters,” thereby lumping you in with them?

That’s the fine line our commanders have to walk in the Middle East. And if they don’t always stay on the “right” side of that line, that’s at least understandable, even if it sometimes makes us want to tear our hair out.

‘Honor the sailor’s creed’

Lawrenceville native training for U.S. Navy sub force

By Kate Croxton

kate.croxton @gwinnettdailypost.com

A 2015 Central Gwinnett High School graduate and Lawrenceville native is serving in the U.S. Navy training to serve aboard nuclear-powered submarines throughout the fleet.

Firefighter Recruit Mikhail Campbell is under instruction at the Basic Enlisted Submarine School, which teaches the basic theory behind the construction and operation of nuclear-powered submarines, including ships systems, organization and safety. Currently, the Los Angeles class fast-attack submarine is used as the model for the school curriculum, but the concepts taught are applicable to all classes of submarines.

Basic Enlisted Submarine School prepares

sailors to pursue submarine qualifications upon initial assignment to an operational submarine as well as performing critical screening of future submariners in the area of adaptability and reliability.

“The school has prepared me for damage control training and to be able to help my shipmates and to serve honorably on board the submarine,” Campbell said.

A key element of the Navy’s mission is tied to the fact that America is a maritime nation, according to Navy officials, and that nation’s prosperity is tied to the ability to operate freely on the world’s oceans.

More than 70 percent of the Earth’s surface is covered by water. Eighty percent of the world’s population lives close to a coast. Ninety percent of all global trade by volume travels by sea.

Attack submarines, like those stationed in the Groton area, are designed to hunt down and destroy enemy submarines and surface ships, strike targets ashore with cruise missiles, carry and deliver Navy SEALs, carry out intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance missions and engage in mine warfare.

Their primary tactical advantage is stealth, operating undetected under the sea for long periods of time.

“The submarine force is one of the most elite communities in the U.S. Navy,” said Capt. Aaron M. Thieme, Commanding Office, Naval Submarine School. “The most talented sailors in the U.S. Navy learn to be the world’s best submariners at the Naval Submarine School.”

According to Navy officials, because of the demanding environment

aboard submarines, personnel are accepted only after rigorous testing and observation.

The submarine community is an all-volunteer force, which has some of the most highly trained and skilled people in the Navy.

“I look forward to going to the fleet to complete my qualifications and earn the right to wear the ‘dolphins’ submarine warfare insignia,” Campbell said.

Preparing for the high operational tempo and unique challenges of the submarine force builds strong fellowship and a strong sense of mission to the students of the submarine school.

“Serving in the Navy allows me to feel closer to the men whose fathers and grandfathers have served before me and to honor the sailor’s creed,” Campbell said.

4-H group takes CPR class

Barrow County Emergency Services recently taught a Heartsaver CPR class to a local 4-H group to prepare them for baby-sitting. Lt. T.J. Gower and Lt. Ernest Weant led the CPR class, as it was a part of a babysitting training program that helps students become certi-

fied baby-sitters.

“It gave us an opportunity to teach the students in something that may well save a life,” said Capt. Scott Dakin. “Teaching CPR to the students meant that the students now have the ability to react if someone suffers a cardiac arrest.”

Barrow County Emergency Services urges its citizens to become trained in CPR. If a patient goes into car-

diac arrest, their chance of survival increases if CPR is performed immediately. The more people who are trained in CPR, the better chance that someone witnessing a cardiac arrest will know what to do.

“These young ladies have taken the initiative to receive this and other skills to make them better prepared,” Dakin said. “Our department was honored to have them.”

The unknown heroes of Mississippi journalism History’s full of people who made a difference, who took a stand or voiced an opinion against injustice when it cost them plenty. Either it wasn’t known at the time or time covers their boldness in cobwebs and chokes away the memory.

I’ve been thinking a lot about this lately when it comes to two of the greatest newspapermen ever known to the state of Mississippi: Hodding Carter II and Oliver Emmerich. Carter (whose son, Hodding Carter III, was a member of President Jimmy Carter’s administration) was owner/ publisher of the Greenville Delta Democrat Times, while Emmerich (whose son, John, continued the newspaper and grandson, Wyatt, has built it into an impressive chain of

The foreword was written

by Emmerich. No sooner had the documentary ended than I was in a search of the book and discovered that the University of Mississippi Press is rereleasing key books like this in a series called “The Civil Rights In Mississippi Series” edited by Trent Brown. Mr. Carter’s book is the first one to be republished in this series.

If you’re a student of history, if you love a good narrative, if you are curious to the backstories in big, all encompassing stories (like the three Civil Rights workers murdered that summer in Philadelphia), this book is a must read. The story is intriguing but, most importantly, Carter’s accounting is

Cellphones are the new smoking I would have made a great smoker. Aside from the aging skin, yellowing teeth and eventual death from cancer, it’s the perfect habit for me.

I love the elegance of smoking. Imagine you’re in a jazz club, wearing a gown and elbow length satin gloves. You snap open a jeweled pouch, take out a slim cigarette, place it ever so gently near your lips, almost caressing it. From the other side of the table a handsome man jumps forth to light it with a sterling silver box of fire.

Or perhaps you use a long, thin Hollywood style holder, and gesture with it when you talk, puffing out slim wisps of smoke to give you an air of mystery.

If I hadn’t seen the black lung versus pink lung antismoking presentation every year from the fourth grade forward, I have no doubt I would have been a three-pack-a-dayer.

Smoking gives you something to do with your hands, and it keeps you thin. Like I said, it’s the perfect habit. Given the chance, I know I could

My fidgety hands and addictive personality had to content themselves with pen chewing and hair twirling. That is, until the marvelous invention of the cellphone.

It wouldn’t be funny if it weren’t true. Yet just as the glamour of smoking masked the true impact, smartphones have an ugly underbelly.

Instead of body cancer, we’ve got social cancer.

My grandmother couldn’t talk on the phone without puffing on a cigarette. Now people can’t talk to each other without checking their phones.

You can’t quit your phone habit cold turkey, not if you want to keep your job. So what’s an addict to do?

For me, the secret is to limit consumption. It’s a daily battle, but when my kids are talking and my fingers start twitching for my phone, I do what my grandmother did to kick her habit — I reach for a candy and fidget with the wrapper.

Each week the Gwinnett Daily Post will feature an animal available for adoption at the Georgia SPCA, which is located at 1175 Buford Highway, Suite 109, Suwanee, GA 30024.

Koda is a big, handsome Belgian Shepherd. He knows all common commands, loves people and older kids (no smaller children, please), and gets along with other dogs after he has a chance to get to know them.

Koda is a young dog and needs hours of exercise every day along with time with his family.

A very large dog like Koda would make a great running or hiking companion. If you have the time in your day and the space for a big energetic boy, please come see Koda at the shelter. Koda’s adoption fee is $175.
