Donald Trump held a slight lead among Republicans in Gwinnett County on Tuesday while he and Democrat Hillary Clinton cruised to easy statewide victories in their respective parties presidential primaries.

As of 11 p.m., Trump was leading on the Republican side in Gwinnett with 32.6 percent of the 93,271 votes counted at that point, followed by Marco Rubio with 30 percent, Ted Cruz (25.7 percent), John Kasich (5.5 percent) and Ben Carson (5 percent).

Meanwhile, Clinton had 65.8 percent of the 52,055 votes cast on the Democratic side, compared to 33.8 percent for Bernie Sanders.

Statewide, Trump captured 39.5 percent of the Republican votes, while Clinton had 71 percent of the Democratic votes.

“If you would have asked me about Donald Trump months ago, I would have said he’d be long gone by now, but his campaign style and stump speeches have tapped into anger among voters,” Gwinnett Republicans Chairman Rich Carithers said.

Gwinnett Democrats Chairman Jim Shealey added that he wasn’t surprised by Clin-

Gwinnett County commissioners raised their salaries by 51 percent on Tuesday in a move that drew criticism from some residents who feel the governing body’s members should not be setting their own pay rates.

The commissioners voted 4-1 on the matter, with Commissioner John Heard voting against it. The move takes the per commissioner annual salary from $29,800, to $45,000, which officials said is comparable to other counties in metro Atlanta whose populations are close to Gwinnett’s.

It was the first time in nearly a decade that the commissioners raised their own salaries. Commissioner Jace Brooks, who made the motion to approve the new salary, acknowledged that the move was likely to draw opposition from residents and said he expects it will at least be another decade before another increase is approved.

“It’s always uncomfortable when you make these decisions and so you do put it off for a while,” Brooks said. “Since it’s been nine years, that’s what tends to make the percentage look larger. Also you’re dealing with small figures, so the percentages tend to look larger.

“We are now comparable to those counties that, at least population-wise in the metro area, we are comparable to.”

The parents of the 17-year-old student she’d been accused of having a sexual relationship with reportedly gave her an ultimatum before Thanksgiving break: quit her job, leave the Julee boy alone and the case Impara wouldn’t be reported.

After the break, Impara returned to school.

A months-long investigation followed, leading to her resignation in December and her arrest Tuesday.

Many details haven’t yet been released, but documents and statements released to the Daily Post offer insight on how the case has played out.

The warrant for her arrest says the affair, which is said to have taken place off school grounds, started in October.

The parents reported her to the school on Dec. 8, according to the district.

ton’s win. “In Georgia? No, I thought she was going to win here because she has a lot of the minority vote behind her.”

Super Tuesday was a huge day for Trump, who was also expected to win in Alabama, Arkansas, Massachussetts, Tennessee and Virginia, according to Reuters. Clinton similarly had a big night, with wins in those same states, as well as Texas.

Cruz won Texas and Oklahoma, while Rubio was leading in Minnesota. Sanders won in Vermont, as well as Oklahoma and Colorado.

County spokesman Joe Sorenson said the unofficial count of ballots that were cast early in person was 22,535. That includes 13,588 Republican ballots and 8,947 Democratic ballots.

TV judge talks with kids about dreams, overcoming race barriers

By Keith Farner

keith.farner@gwinnettdailypost.com

LAWRENCEVILLE —On Monday, Glenda Hatchett used her life story as an example to Corley Elementary School students that they can achieve their dreams.

Hatchett, who grew up in Atlanta and went on to clerk for the first black federal judge in Georgia before later becoming a

senior attorney at Delta Airlines, shared her story on Monday as part of Black History Month.

Speaking to about 200 fourthgraders at Corley, Hatchett, who also had a 15-year run as a television judge and will return to the air this fall, asked the students about their dreams. She said for everyone, there’s a dream with their name on it.

She said adversity will come, and she even explained how to

deal with the “haters.”

“You know how you get even with the hater?” she said. “You know what the secret is? You just go and claim your dream, and then they’ll wonder how in the world you did it.”

Hatchett came to Corley because she grew up in Atlanta around the corner from Corley Assistant Principal Charles Hawk See JUDGE, Page 9A

“Based on the interviews, the evidence from the crime scene, and the statements of the suspect, it was clear this was no accidental shooting,” sheriff’s office spokesman Capt. Matt Guthas said.

The victim, who had been

shot in the head and was pronounced dead hours later, had two children, 9 and 2, the eldest from a previous relationship.

The husband is now being held without bond in the Barrow County jail. He’s charged with aggravated assault, felony murder, murder

Dunn drops bid for District 108 seat

By Curt Yeomans

curt.yeomans @gwinnettdailypost.com

The Republican field for the state House of Representatives District 108 seat shrunk this past weekend after former county Commissioner John Dunn decided not to run for the office after all.

Dunn announced he would suspend his campaign on Saturday, a little less than a week after he

announced plans to pursue the office.

He had been one of three RepubliJohn cans who Dunn had announced bids for the seat, which will be vacated by Rep. B.J. Pak, R-Lilburn, who decided not to seek re-election.

Dunn said in a state-

ment that he regretted not being able to run for the seat, but he added other commitments prevented him from being able to devote the energy needed for a campaign.

“In the last week this campaign has attracted a core group of volunteers that has been growing,” he said. “However, what has not been growing is the time I will need to devote to run for this seat.

Considering my family, my business, and my commitments to my church, I haven’t the time to devote

to this endeavor.”

Former state Rep. Clay Cox and Patty Gabilondo, who has served as a legislative aide to Pak, are also seeking the Republican nomination for the legislative seat. Candidate qualifying for local and state offices appearing on this year’s ballot will be held the week of March 7.

Dunn said he and his wife, Angela, sent their best wishes to Gabilondo and Cox, and prayed “God grant them wisdom and discernment in the coming campaign.”

Detectives testified that through wiretaps they learned Evans Jeffrey ordered Anderson Lewis and Mann to kill Anderson, who had borrowed $500 for rent from Evans.

Using a smuggled cellphone, which was later tapped, the inmate saw

photos on Facebook that made him think Anderson had spend the money on a trip to the club, and then directed the hit, detectives said.

Police found Anderson, who had a wife and a young daughter, shot dead in a house off New Hope Road. Testimony revealed that he had been restrained, his head held under water in the bathtub, before two bullets pierced his head.

“He begged for his life and also stated that he had a small child,” said homicide investigator Patrick Watson.

Watson said Mann confessed, telling police he fired at Anderson before running out of the house and hearing Lewis, still inside, kill Anderson.

Lewis, Mann and Evans are held in the Gwinnett jail without bond, all charged with murder and other crimes.

Officer: Lanier High student will face discipline for burning classmate in lab

By Keith Farner

A 15-year-old student at Lanier High School is facing disciplinary action for burning another student on his forearm in a lab class last week at

Lanier High School, according to a report.

Assistant Principal Jaclyn Burrell contacted school resource officer Pedro Medina, who filed an incident report where he described the incident as battery. Gwinnett County Public Schools

spokeswoman Sloan Roach said when charges are filed, students are typically out of school pending a panel decision.

The incident report by Medina said the student being disciplined, “admitted to heating the tongs and then pressing

the same against the victim’s extremity.”

Roach said there wasn’t a question about the teacher’s responsibility in the incident.

“Unfortunately students do things that are outside others’ control,” she said.

“All of the victims said they were contacted via the OfferUp application when they posted an ad to sell their phones,” said Cpl. Michele Pihera, spokeswoman for the police department. “The victims said they agreed to meet the suspect at the 7000 building in the complex to sell iPhones and Samsung phones.”

The victims said they were approached by a black man standing 5-foot5 or taller and weighing 275 pounds or more. He wore a tan Tommy Hilfiger jacket with a black hooded sweatshirt underneath, as well as long pants and tan Timberland-style boots.

Once they reached an agreement for the sale, the man would point a small black semi-automatic handgun at them and tell them to leave while keeping their phone.

On Jan. 6, one of the victims watched the gunman walk into the 9000 building after a robbery.

Based on that statement and other evidence, police executed a search warrant and arrested Nalls, who is being held without bond in the county jail.

Not necessary to check vitamin levels DEAR DR. ROACH: Will a blood test reveal deficiencies in levels of vitamins D and C, magnesium, CoQ10, etc.?

— D.S. ANSWER: Vitamin levels can be measured in the blood, but it is seldom necessary to do so. There are some exceptions. Vitamin D remains controversial, with most experts recommending checking vitamin D levels in people at risk for deficiency (including dark-skinned individuals, those who seldom get sun exposure and people who take medications that interfere with vitamin D or who do not absorb it properly, such as those with sprue or inflammatory bowel disease). Many experts recommend vitamin D supplementation in healthy older adults, but it is still not clear whether this is necessary.

Vitamin C is rarely deficient from diet (scurvy), but it can be seen in cases of severe malabsorption. Co-Q10 is almost never measured outside of research settings.

Magnesium deficiency is common in people taking diuretics.

In general, vitamin blood levels are not necessary to check in healthy people.

With the possible exception of vitamin D, most people with a healthy diet do not need vitamin supplementation.

DEAR DR. ROACH: Why do we not see studies on plant sterols and stanols as a way of reducing cholesterol? I take a pill supplement, CholestOff, and also eat foods with plant sterols and stanols. Plus, I take fish oil and folic acid. My cholesterol decreased by 35 percent, and I no longer have to take a statin. My HDL is about 80. The sterol/stanols seem to work. Why is this not well-known, and why don’t doctors tell us about it?

— D.E. ANSWER: Plant sterols and stanols can lower blood cholesterol, although most people will see a drop of about 6 percent to 15 percent rather than the 35 percent you saw. Plant sterols and stanols are better absorbed with fat, so they are often used in margarines, but can be used in pill form with lecithin, which helps absorption.

The reasons doctors typically don’t recommend them are that there have not been any long-term safety studies.

And although they do lower cholesterol, there isn’t any proof that they reduce risk of heart attack. There have been several medications that lower cholesterol but increase risk of adverse events.

Reported side effects of plant sterol and stanol tablets include heartburn, nausea, constipation and erectile dysfunction in men. A statin drug is likely to have more effect on cholesterol, probably at lower cost, and with a similar low risk of side effects, yet has been proven to reduce heart attack in people at high risk for heart disease.

In my opinion, plant sterol and stanol supplements are a useful adjunct treatment in those who can’t tolerate a statin or those in whom the response has been insufficient.

Friend wonders, is her friend anti-Semitic?

DEAR AMY: I am very good friends with a woman who was born in England but who has lived here in the United States for over two decades. She’s well-educated, gentle, softspoken, kind and fun to be with.

Here’s my problem — and I’d appreciate your input. Several times during the last few years, with no apparent blushing or hesitation, in a group of people we both know, she has described a movie, a TV show, etc., as being “too Jewish.”

Is this code in England for something else, like maybe “too New York-y,” or something? *I don’t know what to do or say. I think she would be horrified to have weirded me out as much as she has. I’m especially put off by it because my children are part-Jewish through my ex-husband’s family.

Should I wait until she uses the phrase again and then just “call her on it” with something like, “I don’t understand. Can you explain what that means?”

It seems cowardly to wait (though I feel confident she will say it again sometime), but I am also enough of a coward that I am having difficulty imagining starting a conversation with her about it. I am leaning toward a brief, non-accusatory email, asking her to help me understand her thinking in using this phrase. Thoughts?

— Upset

Ask Amy

Amy Dickinson DEAR UPSET: In my experience, “Too New York-y” is code for “too Jewish,” — not the other way around. Maybe in England, however, the casual anti-Semitic code book is reversed (after all, they drive on the left-hand side of the street).

If you have a question about statements your friend has made and your questions linger long after she has made them, even to the extent that it affects your opinion of her and your friendship with her, then you should definitely ask her to explain herself.

Many people would find this highly offensive, but at the very least, you should let her know how her statements affect you.

If you want to do this via email, craft a short note, read it several times, then wait a day or two before sending.

DEAR AMY: Let me weigh in on the subject of divorced fathers — and react to the question from “At a Loss” about why divorced dads drift away from their children over time.

As a divorced father who

worked extremely hard to stay connected to my children, I appreciated your support for those of us who succeed, despite the odds.

— Devoted Dad DEAR DEVOTED: Staying connected to children over time on a court-ordered schedule is a heavy lift. I give credit to the parents who manage to do it.

DEAR AMY: My daughter is almost 25 years old and applying to graduate school. She is a motivated self-starter.

As soon as she hit ninth grade, alcohol, drinking, partying and being crazy became an instant problem at her high school.

She was able to maintain her grades, participated in varsity sports and has now graduated from a prestigious Big Ten college.

We were the parents who did not support teen alcohol use, be it elsewhere or in our home. We saw it as our role to discourage, contain and minimize teenage drinking and drug use.

I am a physician and my husband is a lawyer. We live these issues professionally and with studied insight.

Our daughter recently stated that her mother should apologize to her for being the “psycho-parent” who made the phone calls during those high school years (for example, to verify if a parent was home during a party). She thinks we embarrassed her and made her look bad in friends’ and parents’ eyes.

(Our attempts to “create a village” of aware parents fell flat when other parents didn’t seem to mind teen drinking and partying at their homes.)

Our daughter does not get it. We were her parents, trying to parent effectively.

Your views?

— Caring Parents DEAR CARING: As the parent of several children in your daughter’s age range, I suggest this as a response to your daughter’s demand: “Honey, we cop to being the psycho parents. And … you’re welcome.”

Please be aware that 25 is an age of transition, as some young people hang on to adolescence before they white-knuckle their way into adulthood. It is very common for young adults of this age to want to review their experiences with their parents, occasionally raking them over the coals in the process, but your job is to continue to be the loving, smart and supportive parents you’ve always been and not cave to a manipulation and a demand on her part.

You’ve got nothing to apologize for, so please don’t.

WORLD Italian court lets lesbians adopt each other’s kids ROME — A court in Rome has allowed a lesbian couple to adopt each other’s children, their lawyer said Tuesday, less than a week after the Italian parliament threw out a bid to give gays limited adoption rights.

Prime Minister Matteo Renzi had promised to open the way for stepchild adoption as part of a larger reform aimed at giving legal rights and protection to same-sex couples.

Much to the anger of gay rights groups, he dropped the adoption clause after fierce opposition from within his center-left coalition. However, Tuesday’s ruling highlights the fact that Italy’s courts are prepared to step into the breach in the absence of clear cut legislation.

Each of the partners in the case had given birth to a daughter, and the court gave them parental status regarding both children, their lawyer Francesca Quarato said.

Reforms working, French economy minister says PARIS — France’s economy minister said Tuesday that his flagship deregulation reforms were working six months after they became law, citing job creation in the transport sector and cheaper property deals as proof less red tape can spur growth.

Emmanuel Macron, an ex-investment banker whose pro-business reforms have caused friction within the Socialist government, hailed the 1,300 jobs created since August in the intercity coach industry alone as an illustration of how the euro zone’s second-biggest economy could boost a still-weak recovery.

“This law was not perfect, it was not enough for some, too abrupt for others, but it has put the country in motion, has given new rights, increased mobility, transparency and activity,” Macron told reporters. “It works.”

Argentina’s president asks Congress to OK creditors deal BUENOS AIRES — Argentine President Mauricio Macri on Tuesday urged Congress to approve a landmark deal reached with creditors over defaulted debt, in order to comply with a U.S. court deadline and permit access to the financing needed to jumpstart Latin America’s third largest economy.

Macri, less than three months in office, is likely to cobble together the votes needed to implement the deal announced on Monday to pay $4.65 billion “holdout” hedge funds that rejected steep cuts in repayment terms offered in the country’s 2005 and 2010 bond restructurings.

The question is whether Congress will pass the deal before an April 14 deadline set by the U.S. court hearing the case. ­— From wire reports

world&nation GOP condemns bigotry, not Trump

By Susan Cornwell Reuters

WASHINGTON — Republican leaders in the U.S. Congress condemned white supremacist groups on Tuesday after their party’s front-runner in the presidential contest, Donald Trump, failed to disavow support for an exKu Klux Klan leader, but the leaders declined further comment on Trump’s controversial White House bid.

The comments from the two top Republicans in Congress, House of Representatives Speaker Paul Ryan and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, came as many of the party’s lawmakers struggle to come to terms with the growing possibility that Trump will be their nominee.

Trump’s policies are often at odds with those of conservatives, and his comments on the campaign trail have often been both incendiary and crude.

He racked up victories in three of the four states that held their nominating contests before Tuesday.

The comments from Ryan and McConnell coincided with “Super Tuesday,” the biggest voting day in the race to pick the 2016 presidential nominees for the November election.

Ryan said any Republican nominee must reject any group “built on

The show will be a milestone event in a country where the communist government once banned the group’s music as an “ideological deviation.”

The World Health Organization has declared an outbreak of the mosquito-borne Zika virus spreading from Brazil an international health emergency.

This declaration was largely based on evidence linking Zika to a birth defect known as microcephaly, marked by a small head

and underdeveloped brain, but the WHO is also concerned about rising reports of cases of GBS in countries hit by Zika.

It is not yet clear whether the Zika virus actually causes microcephaly in babies, but experts say the evidence of a link is growing.

Fontanet’s team analyzed data from 42 patients who developed GBS at the time of the French Polynesian epidemic and found that every one had evidence of a previous infection with Zika.

The gutter, a step up from Trump’s sewer politics I was going to write about how the Republican presidential campaign has become gutter politics, but given Donald Trump’s horrid statements, the gutter would be a step up, because things have descended into the sewer.

Never in modern times has there been a presidential candidate who has hurled more personal insults and hurtful accusations at his fellow candidates and others who disagree with him. It should embarrass a normal person, but Trump appears beyond embarrassment.

He criticizes Cal Vicente Fox, the Thomas former president of Mexico, for dropping the F-bomb when he did the same thing during the New Hampshire primary campaign. He attacks Marco Rubio for repeating himself when Trump repeats himself repeatedly. He has criticized the personal appearance of Carly Fiorina, Rosie O’Donnell and Arianna Huffington, among others, when he isn’t much to look at.

He tosses out words like “loser” and during the Houston debate responded to a question from radio talk show host Hugh Hewitt by saying no one listens to his program and his ratings are lousy.

The country is not served by such language. Neither does the political debate format serve the public when it resembles a cage match rather than a serious discussion about the multiple challenges facing America. There must be a better way to elect a president than this.

“Bully backs blowhard for president” was the headline on The Daily Beast, referring to New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie’s endorsement of Trump.

What continues to amaze is the strong backing of Trump by so many evangelicals. If their church members behaved as Trump does, they would receive a serious talking to by the deacons or pastor, and if they didn’t repent and change their ways, they might face expulsion. With Trump, most evangelical leaders have remained largely silent, offering neither criticism nor praise. This is what can happen when some pastors who are called to a different kingdom and a different King settle for an earthly kingdom and lesser king.

Does anyone know what Donald Trump’s position is on anything? Do they care? Apparently not from the sycophants who cheer his every insult at packed rallies around the country. He belittles, he whines and he complains that some in the media don’t treat him “fairly” when he has been on TV more than all of the other candidates combined. The reason for all the coverage he receives? He gets big ratings, and the networks live for ratings.

One of the few evangelical leaders to take Trump on is San Antonio pastor and best-selling author Max Lucado.

In a recent blog post, Lucado said Trump’s “antics” “wouldn’t even be acceptable … for a middle-school student body election.”

In an interview with Christianity Today, Lucado was asked why he published his post, which he titled “Decency for President.” While saying he doesn’t bring politics into his church, he said he felt the need to speak out because of Trump’s “derision of people,” adding, “It would be none of my business, I would have absolutely no right to speak up except that he repeatedly brandishes the Bible and calls himself a Christian.”

“If he’s going to call himself a Christian one day and call someone a bimbo the next or make fun of somebody’s menstrual cycle, it’s just beyond reason to me.”

Beyond reason best describes the Trump campaign. It also explains the fealty so many have for a man with whom one hopes they have nothing in common — from his lifestyle, to his indecipherable politics, to his factchallenged pronouncements.

In past elections, some voters have complained about being forced to choose between the lesser of two evils.

If the nominee for the Democratic Party is Hillary Clinton, and if Republicans select Donald Trump, this election may force voters to choose between the least evil of two lessers.

Feeling nostalgic about Francoeur Nostalgia is a big part of baseball. Which, in many ways, makes Jeff Francoeur’s return to the Atlanta Braves spring training camp this week the perfect baseball story.

His presence at the Braves complex at Disney World isn’t quite the stuff of fairy tales, but it does conjure up memories of good times — of both Jeff and the team. Francoeur was once a part of the Braves’ success, but he returns home to serve as a bridge to future prosperity — and likely something more.

A relatively young man in every area of life save professional sports, the 32-year-old former Parkview star comes to this Braves team as an elder statesman. For those of us who remember him starring for the Panthers, it’s an odd juxtaposition.

When he first got called up to the big leagues, he regaled us with stories of hanging out with the likes of Chipper

clinching home run where it was hard to imagine anything slowing him down. But life, like baseball, isn’t like that.

Parkview days, Jeff was such a splendid athlete that, as much as any other part of his game, I enjoyed watching him run the bases. And, like most who witnessed his feats, I’ll never forget his performance in the state baseball Jeff finals during Francoeur his senior year, or his home run in his Braves debut or the week he graced the cover of Sports Illustrated.

While we can always remember him for what he was, the Braves brought him back because of who he is now. In a career filled with highlights, that may be the ultimate compliment.

For ‘Infinite Jest,’ believe the hype CHICAGO — By sheer coincidence, I found myself deep into a second back-toback reading of David Foster Wallace’s “Infinite Jest” during the celebration of its 20th anniversary.

The irony being — as you know if you’ve completed its 1,079 pages and 388 footnotes — that this book, which is partially about an entertainment so entertaining that it addicts its viewers to death, was so good that when I finished my first read-through, I just turned back to page one and started over for the sole purpose of enjoying it again.

And so, as the numerous paeans to Wallace’s magnum opus flooded out this month — in anticipation of last Tuesday’s new release of a special edition — I was reduced to echoing lavish venerations, practically begging everyone I ran into to pick up the book.

I usually run screaming from critical praise, figuring it’s either press release-generated hyperbole or just plain East Coast conceit. But let me tell you: The hype is real.

In the foreword to the 2006 paperback edition, the writer Dave Eggers calls it drumtight, relentlessly smart, but also something of a different order. “This book is like a spaceship with no recognizable components, no rivets or bolts, no entry points, no

Esther Cepeda way to take it apart. It is very shiny, and it has no discernible flaws. If you could somehow smash it into smaller pieces, there would certainly be no way to put it back together again. It simply is. Page by page, line by line, it is probably the strangest, most distinctive, and most involved work of fiction by an American in the last 20 years. At no time while reading ‘Infinite Jest’ are you unaware that this is a work of complete obsession, of a stretching of the mind of a young writer to the point of, we assume, near madness.”

True as this may be, it doesn’t address the chief complaint of those who have a hard time getting past the first 50 or so pages because the reader is cast into an unfamiliar landscape groping for a narrative thread.

You might wonder, “Is there are plot?” Yes, there is.

Ostensibly the story is about: (1) a movie so powerfully engrossing that when

one lays eyes on it, one is instantly hooked and dies from the inability to tear oneself away; (2) the craziness of James O. Incandenza, the director of the film, his three sons: Hal, Mario and Orin, their “moms” Avril and the Enfield Tennis Academy community; and (3) the drama of the interconnected lives of the people looking for the master copy of “the entertainment” and of those who were involved in its creation.

Plus, an avalanche of criticism and keen observation about consumer turpitude, the pleasures of addiction and the grief of recovery, our obsession with professional sports, sibling rivalry, the future of digital entertainment and the fraying connections between humans.

The intertwined plots and their supporting atmospherics, however, are almost beside the point. If you make it past page five, you’ve been grabbed by the lapels and shaken violently by the writing: The descriptions of characters, the turns of phrase, the literary hyper-reality and the camp — deadly wheelchair assassins, germophobic U.S. presidents and a skewed future in which George F. Will chats on NPR through a post-laryngectomy voice prosthesis and “Nightmare on Elm Street XXII: The Senescence” happened. It’s

hilarious, disgusting, prescient and alarming.

Writing in The New York Times Book Review, author Tom Bissell rhapsodized, “Here is one of the great Wallace innovations: the revelatory power of freakishly thorough noticing, of corralling and controlling detail.

Most great prose writers make the real world seem realer — it’s why we read great prose writers. But Wallace does something weirder, something more astounding: Even when you’re not reading him, he trains you to study the real world through the lens of his prose.”

It’s true! But there’s no need to fall back on all the reasons “Infinite Jest” is the literary equivalent of kale, “good for you” because of its beautiful language and genius character sketches. It’s simply fun.

Don’t get me wrong, it is lofty and very challenging — in a variety of ways, from the use of arcane vocabulary to the psychedelic order in which events are presented.

But, ultimately, “Infinite Jest” is just plain juicy, addictive entertainment. If you’ve been dodging this book for 20 years, go ahead, surrender yourself to it now.

“We’re not voting on our own salaries, at least a couple of us aren’t, because it will be for whoever sits in this position come 2017,” Brooks said. “There is an election coming up that will help make that decision.”

Only Nash has a publicly announced opponent so far, but that doesn’t mean Brooks and Hunter won’t have challengers as well.

•From Page 1A resident, who has also been employed at other

Teacher schools around metro Atlanta, resigned a day later. She “neither confirmed nor denied the allegations,” according to a letter Gwinnett County Public Schools sent to the Georgia Professional Standards Commission, which handles teacher certifications.

The district said it also notified the Division of Family and Children Services.

Cpl. Michele Pihera, Gwinnett police spokesperson, said her agency got involved Jan. 15, when the student’s mother called a Special Victims Unit detective. It wasn’t immediately clear Tuesday why the police

weren’t notified sooner.

“The victim said that they began having sexual contact outside of school and even picked up the victim at his home on occasion,” Pihera said Tuesday. “The lead investigator obtained evidence that indicated that the teacher and student were having a sexual relationship while she was still his teacher.”

The letter to the standards commission said the parents provided text messages and letters exchanged by the teacher and student, whose name isn’t being released. It also detailed the ultimatum the parents gave.

Along with the Jan. 8 missive, the district sent

documents and an audio recording to the commission.

“A forensic analysis of the teacher’s district-issued computer is currently being finalized,” wrote Sidney L. Camp Jr. of the district’s human resources department.

Police took out a warrant for Impara on Monday.

She arrived at the county jail just before 1:30 p.m. and was released on $11,200 bond about five hours later.

A request for comment left for the teacher, who seems bubbly asking callers to leave a message, wasn’t returned Tuesday afternoon.

Her arrest marked what would seem to be the end of a long career in education.

She started at Gwinnett Schools in March 2008.

In 2015, she got distinction from the Student Teacher Achievement Recognition program, which recognizes “high school seniors and the teachers who have been most instrumental in their academic development.”

According to a LinkedIn page that carries her name, Impara was an adjunct English professor at Gwinnett Technical College from January 2009 to May 2013. She was at Fayette County Schools from August 1997 to May 2000, a stint in which she was nominated for teacher of the year. The first job listed was a stay from 1991 to 1997 at Clayton County Schools, where she was also nominated for teacher of the year.

Posts made to a Twitter handle that apparently once belonged to Impara show she fit in well at Mill Creek. Students regularly reached out, praising and joking with her.

Several said they loved her. One said he was thankful to have her as a teacher.

“I’m dragging you to college with me,” joked another.

of sewage near Buford

By Curt Yeomans

curt.yeomans @gwinnettdailypost.com

Thousands of gallons of sewage spilled into a tributary of the Chattahoochee River in the Buford area on Monday, according to officials at the Gwinnett County Department of Water Resources.

Department spokeswoman Karen Shields said debris in the sewage system caused the spill at a manhole located at 3979 Woodward Mill Road. The county estimated about 6,681 gallons of sewage spilled from the manhole into the unnamed tributary.

Officials were notified about the issue at 12:28 p.m. and crews were able

to get it stopped at 2:20 p.m.

Shields said the county has notified the Georgia Environmental Protection Division about the spill, as it does with all sewage spills, and crews raked the area and spread lime in an effort to reduce the incident’s effects on the area. Signs have also been posted to let residents in the area know what happened.

Department of Water Resources officials have previously said debris, ranging from sticks to trash, that enters the sewage system is a major cause of spills. It trails only grease, fats and oils in terms of how many spills it causes.

Bears’ Lindquist to retire

Juniors in league

By David Friedlander david.friedlander@ gwinnettdailypost.com

After building Mountain View’s girls basketball program into a consistent winner and state tournament participant since the school opened in 2009, Jackie Lindquist is stepping away.

The veteran coach confirmed over the weekend that she will retire at the end of the current school year, bringing to a close a coaching and teaching career that has spanned 31 years.

“I’ve spent 31 years in coaching and teaching, and that’s enough,” Lindquist said. “It’s time.”

Lindquist has a long tenure in Gwinnett County, including stints as head coach at Berkmar and as an assistant under Cass Cassell at Central Gwinnett.

But it is at Mountain View, where she posted a 103-69 record, that she has arguably had her biggest impact.

Since she started the program seven seasons ago, the Bears have steadily progressed from a new program to a regular contender and state tournament qualifier in Region 7-AAAAAA, culminating in the school’s first region title and berth in the Class AAAAAA state quarterfinals in 2014-15.

That was nearly Lindquist’s farewell, but she decided to return for one last season for the 2015-16 campaign in which See LINDQUIST, Page 4B

Grayson girls roll to 5-1 win

By Will Hammock will.hammock@ gwinnettdailypost.com

SNELLVILLE — The Region 8-AAAAAA opener offered a fresh start for the Grayson girls soccer team.

Fresh off a humbling 4-0 loss at powerful St. Pius last Friday, the defending Class AAAAAA state Brittany Montgomery champions needed to refocus quickly for a road match against rival Ella Stevens Brookwood on Tuesday. The Rams did just that, particularly in an impressive second half, and pulled away for a 5-1 victory over the Broncos.

“I definitely give (Brookwood) a lot of credit for (a close) first half,” Grayson girls coach Rebekah Bullock said. “In the second half, we were able to settle down, find our feet and play our style. Once we were able to do that, we were able to be successful. … We watched film last weekend (of the St. Pius loss) and saw the See RAMS, Page 4B

Dynamic duo Coombs, Armstrong lead tight-knit junior class at Wesleyan

It’s a familiar scene, Mikayla Coombs and Natalie Armstrong hanging out in head coach Jan Azar’s office.

Also familiar is Armstrong’s laughter, Coombs’ wry smile and the occasional dry comment from Azar.

The two Wesleyan juniors are great friends and often use their free period in the afternoon to camp out on Azar’s comfortable couch. Azar said the blanket over the back of it “is Natalie’s.”

Other members of the girls basketball team drop in, too, but because of scheduling, and preference, it’s most often the dynamic duo of Coombs and Armstrong.

Though they aren’t there quite as frequently as they were last semester.

“Neither one of them can sing,” Azar said. “I found that out in the car. They like to sing, but they will not be putting on any concerts. I do not worry about losing them to ‘The Voice.’”

Azar turned the volume up and put the windows down, but Armstrong begged to differ.

In fact, it was an uncharacteristic mistake by the Panthers that resulted in the match’s first goal less than seven minutes after the opening kickoff.

A seemingly harmless cross by a North attacker on the right wing was measured by a Parkview defender, who attempted to boot the ball out of danger.

Instead, the ball bounced backwards off the side of his foot and sailed over a helpless Panther goalkeeper Austin Lu, who could do nothing to keep it from sneaking under the crossbar to give the visiting Bulldogs a quick 1-0 lead with 33:18 left in the first half.

Both teams then had some quality scoring opportunities throughout the opening frame.

Scott’s long road back to putting success

By Mark Lamport-Stokes Retuers

Adam Scott’s one-shot victory at the Honda Classic in Florida on Sunday earned him not only a 12th PGA Tour title but also the best possible validation that all his hard work on a revised putting technique is now paying off.

With a ban on anchoring putters to the chin or chest coming into effect at the start of this year, Scott had tried to wean himself off his beloved broomstick putter during his 2015 campaign but experienced several setbacks with that transition.

The Australian returned to the comforts of the longer putter in golf’s biggest events when the pressure was at its most intense before committing for good to the conventional stick at the Presidents Cup in October, when he again struggled.

Gradually, though, the change bedded in and Scott, increasingly confident on the greens, produced three runner-up finishes in his last seven starts worldwide before at the Honda Classic ending a title drought of almost two years.

“My game’s come into a really good spot the back end of last year and now starting out this year,” Scott told NBC

Sports after carding a level-par 70 on the PGA National layout at Palm Beach Gardens to beat Spaniard Sergio Garcia by one shot.

“We have been working hard to get it there because it was slipping a little bit, it was a bit loose last year. The consistency wasn’t there.

“I have made some nice progress in all areas, especially noticeably on the greens, and it paid off this week.”

Scott’s putting statistics on the 2014-15 PGA Tour made for miserable reading as he finished 141st in total putting but this week on a very challenging Champion Course at

PGA National he oozed confidence.

He began the final round by sinking a 15-footer to birdie the par-four first, and then buried a 10-footer at the fifth to move two strokes clear.

Several other birdie attempts by Scott during the day narrowly slid past the edge of the cup and golfing great Jack Nicklaus, who re-designed the Champion Course in 1990, paid tribute to the Australian’s putting on the NBC Sports telecast.

“His stroke is terrific,” said Nicklaus, an 18-time major champion. “He looks great over the putter and he is making his

share of putts. If you’re putting like that all day, you’re always going to make some putts.”

The last time Scott won a tournament with a conventional ‘short’ putter was more than five years ago at the Singapore Open.

He then switched to a broomstick at the 2011 Match Play Championship and went on to win seven titles across the globe with an anchored putter, including his first major at the 2013 Masters.

“It feels very good, it’s been a great transition certainly,” Scott said of his successful return to the short putter.

Bohn said he was

He told Adams that he does not have a definite timeline for a return to the golf course, but that “it can be sooner than later.”

NFL NOTES

Miller tagged by Broncos, complicating offseason picture The Sports Xchange Von Miller received the exclusive franchise designation from the Denver Broncos on Tuesday hours before the deadline to use the prohibitive tag.

The outside linebacker was Super Bowl 50 MVP and would cost $14.13 against the salary cap barring a long-term deal by the July 15 deadline to reach a new contract with the Broncos.

The exclusive franchise tag was last used in 2007 and prohibits other teams from engaging Miller in contract talks. Nonexclusive tags open the player to changing teams only if the suitor is willing to part with two first-round picks and fork over a huge contract.

Vice president of operations and general manager John Elway said at the NFL Scouting Combine last week that he “feels good” about where the Broncos stand with Miller. He also said “absolutely” when asked if egotiations with Miller are ongoing. In the same position last summer, the Broncos worked out of a longterm deal with wide receiver Demaryius Thomas.

Miller had 11 sacks during the 2015 regular season and five more during the playoffs. He was named the MVP of Super Bowl 50 with six tackles, 2.5 sacks, two quarterback hits and two forced fumbles that led to points.

Miller and bookend linebacker DeMarcus Ware led a dynamic Denver defense that clamped down on Carolina’s No. 1-ranked offense in Super Bowl 50. The Panthers were dominated, scoring 10 points after averaging more than 31 in going 17-1 to win the NFC. Ware, an eight-time All-Pro, signed with the Broncos two years ago and helped form a fearsome outside pass rush with Miller, who said it means everything to have a “percentage of the credit” for getting Ware a Super Bowl ring.

“DeMarcus is everything — All-American person, All-Pro player,” Miller said. “He’s a leader, he’s a big brother to me, coach, mentor. It’s something I hold very close to my heart.

I remember when I first got into the game, I wanted to pattern my game, mimic what I did after him.”

Ware could return next season but Elway did not say it was certain.

The Broncos enter March with several moving parts, not the least of which are quarterbacks Peyton Manning and Brock Osweiler.

Manning, 39, is weighing retirement. Osweiler is anxiously waiting for that call while pondering free agency.

the $4 million with postseason wins.

Elway said Manning has earned the right to delay his decision and enjoy the Super Bowl 50 victory because of his 18 years in the NFL. Kubiak said he had no feeling which way Manning could lean and said he wanted to be sensitive to both parties during the decision-making window, which began after the Super Bowl on Feb. 7 Manning decision could be and ends next week. delayed another week That’s because Osweiler, Peyton Manning plans to who started seven games in meet with Denver Broncos 2015 while Manning recovvice president and general ered from a foot injury, can manager John Elway and begin discussing a contract head coach Gary Kubiak with other teams on March this week, but there are no 7.

Rams, Fisher talk new contract Jeff Fisher and the Los Angeles Rams are in contract negotiations geared toward a new deal to before the team plays a game in California in 2016.

Fisher is 27-36-1 with the Rams in four seasons and becomes the first coach since Dave Shula to get a fifth year after starting his tenure with the team with four consecutive losing seasons.

Fisher, who grew up in California — he was born in Culver City — and played at Southern Cal, said at the NFL Scouting Combine last week that he was ready to dust off his surfboard.

The 58-year-old makes $7 million annually under the terms of his expiring fiveyear deal.

ESPN reported the contract could be structured as a short-term extension expiring in 2018 to coincide with the opening of the team’s new stadium in Inglewood.

Saints cut WR Colston The New Orleans Saints ended the Marques Colston era on Monday after the franchise released their all-time leading touchdown scorer with a failed physical designation.

The 32-year-old won the Super Bowl with the Saints in 2009 and notched up 72 touchdowns and 9,759 receiving yards in a 10-year stint after being drafted in the seventh round in 2006.

“To everyone from the Benson family, the front office, coaches, and the training and equipment staff: It has been a pleasure to be part of a family with so many great people,” Colston said in a statement on his website.

“To my fellow players: thanks to each of you for sharing this journey with me, challenging me to grow as a player, and an individual.

“It’s been an honor to work beside you, and as a team we achieved something that can never be duplicated — the first Super Bowl victory for NOLA.” Colston saw his production decline last year with career lows of 45 receptions, 520 yards and four touchdowns in 13 games played.

He finished the season with a chest injury.

The Saints save $3.2 million on the salary cap with the move.

can still negotiate a longterm contract and have until July 15 to reach an agreement.

Norman, 28, has expressed that he wants to be one of the top-paid cornerbacks in the NFL. Norman had a careerbest four interceptions last season for a Carolina team that reached the Super Bowl before losing to the Denver Broncos. Norman returned two of his interceptions for touchdowns and has seven interceptions in four NFL seasons.

“I’m excited that Josh will be back with the Panthers next season,” Panthers head coach Ron Rivera said.

“He played very well for us this year and was a big part of the success we enjoyed as a team.”

The 2012 fifth-round pick of Coastal Carolina emerged as a surprise standout for the Panthers after being lightly regarded coming out of college.

“Josh has worked hard to develop himself into a very good player,” Panthers general manager Dave Gettleman said. “We appreciate the role he plays for us in our defense and we look forward to having him back for the 2016 season.”

agency. They used the tag on tight end Charles Clay last season, but ultimately chose not to match the free agent offer he received from the Buffalo Bills.

Vernon, 25, earned $1.542 million last season and has 29 sacks through his first four NFL seasons.

He had a team-best 7.5 sacks among his 61 tackles last season despite seeing increased attention from opposing teams following Cam Wake’s season-ending Achilles injury.

Vernon could command an offer in in the range of five years and $50 million with $25 million guaranteed.

“We’re on the precipice of free agency and we’ll see what happens,” executive vice president of football operations Mike Tannenbaum said at the NFL combine last week.

“He’s earned the right to be a free agent and he has options, we have options.

We’re going to keep assessing those.”

The Dolphins could be in big trouble at defensive end because Vernon could depart, Wake, who is recovering from an Achilles injury, could be slowed, and reserve defensive end Derrick Shelby is also eligible for free agency.

“I thought Derrick played really well this year,” Tannenbaum said.

“He’s one of those players you really want to celebrate. Under the radar, self-made player. One of the toughest players in our locker room. Football is really important to him.

“He played hurt, played the whole year. We’ll see how it goes. I’m really proud of what Derrick has done. He’s another free agent that deserves a chance to go to the market.

We’ll see how it plays out.”

Miami could be in a position where it must choose between Wake, who is due $8.4 million, and Vernon.

It’s doubtful both would return with top-tier salaries.

“We’ll see,” Tannenbaum said. “Those are all part of the variables. They are somewhat dependent on each other, but they’re also their own narrative. They’re both good players, good people in our locker room and both really good players. We’ll see how it goes.

We have a few more days to finalize some decisions.”

Georgia Tech’s rally comes up short at No. 11 Louisville The Sports Xchange LOUISVILLE, Ky. — It was far from an artistic success, but No. 11 Louisville kept its chances of sharing an Atlantic Coast Conference championship alive on Tuesday night.

Center Chinanu Onuaku’s 17-point, 11-rebound double-double propelled the Cardinals to a 56-53 decision over the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets at the KFC Yum! Center.

Louisville (23-7, 12-5) can tie for first place if it wins Saturday night at Virginia while first place North Carolina and Miami, who each have four losses in the conference, drop another game.

•From Page 1B wing in the 18th minute that Lu again snuffed out for one of his four saves on the night.

Meanwhile, Parkview failed to cash in on a pair of open looks that missed the mark, plus a diving save by North goalkeeper Brandon Wischmeier, one of six for the senior on the night, on a low rightwing blast from Maurice Thompson. But Parkview was finally able to get the equalizer late in the half thanks to some considerably fancier footwork than on the early own goal.

Thompson started the play by sending a pass into the penalty area that Natneal McDonald sent back to him on a give-and-go with a nifty backwards tap for a shot from point blank

The Cardinals declared themselves ineligible for postseason play last month after school administrators concluded recruiting violations might have oc-

Unfazed by Senior Night ceremonies for Louisville’s three departing players, Georgia Tech scored the game’s first seven points on two buckets by Mitchell and a 3-pointer by Smith.

The Yellow Jackets held that cushion for most of the first half despite issues with turnovers and keeping the Cardinals off the offensive boards.

Georgia Tech coughed up 10 turnovers, leading to 11 points, and permitted 12 offensive rebounds that turned into 10 points.

Louisville used the Yellow Jackets’ considerable largesse to finally establish a 28-25 lead on a short jumper by backup forward Ray Spalding

with 1:58 left in the half.

But Georgia Tech forward Quinton Stephens swished a corner jumper just before the horn sounded to end the half, cutting his team’s deficit to a point.

The Cardinals made only 11-of-35 field goal tries in the first half, missing all nine of their 3s.

Notes: Louisville G Trey Lewis scored his 1,500th career point in Saturday’s loss at Miami. … Georgia Tech’s four-game winning streak against ACC teams is its longest since the 2001-02 season. … The Cardinals entered Tuesday night’s game 16-1 in their last 17 Senior Night games, including 13-1 under coach Rick Pitino.

Parkview range.

Wischmeier made the initial shot on the right wing shot, but the rebound bounced right to a wideopen Louis Gratz in the middle of the goal box, and the senior pounded home the loose ball to pull the Panthers even at 1-1 with 4:36 left in the half.

“It was a good combination play,” Klinect said.

“That’s one thing that we strive to do is create give-and-goes inside (the penalty area). They’re well organized. I knew going in North Gwinnett was going to be a tough nut to crack. … We knew that the one way to break a team out of that was a good combination play. … and we did.”

As the heavy weather moved in early in the second half, the game started getting more physical.

And after a contested play in the North penalty area, a Bulldog defender was whistled for an inadvertent handball in the game’s 53rd minute, giving Parkview a penalty kick.

And Kevin Lingard cashed in by burying the PK with a blast into the lower right 90 to put the Panthers in front 2-1 with 26:50 to play, a lead that held up with play was halted just under eight minutes later.

Despite the loss, Wentzler expressed similar sentiments to those of Klinect about how much a test like this, as well as five onegoal victories early in the season, could help his team later in the season.

“Parkview hadn’t had a game this tight yet,” Wentzler said. “We’re kind of used to these scrappy

battles. Even though we were 5-0 (coming in), all of our games were one-goal victories, very scrappy games. So, we were kind of used to the chippiness and scrappiness.

“Being down is a position we’ve been in before, but it wasn’t against a team of (Parkview’s) caliber.”

Parkview girls 2, North 0 The two girls teams had an equally close battle that was scoreless through the first half before the Panthers (2-2) netted a pair of goals in the second half to come away with the win over the Bulldogs (3-3).

Guard Damion Lee added 14 points, including two free throws with 10.7 seconds remaining that gave Louisville a three-

Forward Charles Mitchell paced the Yellow Jackets (17-13, 7-10) with 15 points and 12 rebounds, drawing them within 52-49 at the 1:35 mark on a putback. Guard Adam Smith finished with 12 points, but missed a fall-away 3-pointer in the dying seconds that could have forced overtime.

The score remained the same until Brookwood’s Juveina Hylton scored from a tough angle in the 73rd minute, briefly cutting the deficit to 3-1.

That lasted three minutes until Stevens made a beautiful pass forward to Montgomery, who dribbled around the keeper for her second goal. She completed her hat trick in the waning seconds off an assist from Mijatovic.

“In the first half, I think we could have done better with passing and communication and stepping to the ball,” Montgomery said. “The second half we came out a lot harder and I felt like we wanted it more.”

Grayson goalkeeper Brianna Tello made five saves in front of a stellar defense that got strong

play from Ashanti Long.

Brookwood goalie Carly Adams made a pair of saves, including a nice save in a one-on-one situation with Montgomery midway through the second half.

Montgomery didn’t miss on any other opportunities, though, helping the Rams forget about last week’s loss to St. Pius. “(Losing to St. Pius) made us work harder in practice and made us want to play better against this team,” Montgomery said.

The Brookwood boys led Grayson 1-0 when the match was stopped with 24:37 left because of lightning and rain.

Graham Grassmyer had the Broncos’ goal on a free kick from just outside the box in the 29th minute.

Coombs is less hesitant about physical contact driving to the basket and her stroke from outside has taken some of the pressure off Kaval and Stipe.

“At the beginning, I was pretty frustrated because I rehabbed and I did everything the way I thought I should have,” said Coombs, who will have her choice of colleges when the time comes. “But coming back, I thought I should have been right where I was when I got hurt. It took me a couple of games to realize it was going to take some time.

Now I feel like I’m actually starting to become more of myself again.”

Armstrong, who like Coombs averages over 8 rebounds per game, also had a lesson to learn earlier this season.

“I’ve learned to be a team player rather than focusing on my own stats,” said Armstrong, who is the much younger sister of Wesleyan

and Georgia standout Anne Marie. “Especially at this time of the season, if, say, Mikayla or Cairo (Booker) has a good game and I don’t have as good a game as I would want to have, it’s more important to get a win than to focus on myself.”

At which point Azar turns from her laptop to interject.

“But we’re successful when she’s successful,” Azar said. “That’s what she has to realize. And what Mikayla has to realize. When they play well, we are going to win the game. But if one of them disappears …

“There have been multiple games where I have disappeared,” Armstrong admits.

“But it has not been in games where you have been a necessity,” Azar said. “At this point in the season, it is a necessity that they both come to play.”

Coombs, reclined in the chair across the room, allows for a pause.

“Let’s play well on Friday night, Nat,” she quips.

Armstrong chuckled.

“OK,” she said.
