As the clock struck 8:30 p.m., a light blinked on inside a house on Northcliff Drive in Suwanee, presumably set on a timer while the home’s occupants were out of town.

Outside on the street, which, on any other evening, would have been quiet as families retired to their residences for the night, at least a dozen police officers, crime scene investigators and medical examiner’s office personnel gathered in groups, looking over paperwork, evidence and the photographs of 21-year-old William Tunchez’s body, which had been found several hours before.

“The kids in the neighborhood found him,” said Cpl. Michele Pihera, spokeswoman for the Gwinnett County Police Department. “We don’t know how he died, but there is blood near the body and … he was face down. We are investigating it as a homicide.”

Tunchez, a Lawrenceville resident, had last been seen Sunday evening by family members, though wasn’t found until about 5 p.m.

Officials break ground on water center

BY CURT YEOMANS curt.yeomans@gwinnettdailypost.com

Gwinnett County officials are expecting big things from the $60 million Water Innovation Center that will be built next to the Gwinnett Environmental and Heritage Center and the F. Wayne Water Resource Center in Buford.

The 60,000-square foot center is designed to be a hub of education, research, professional development and business built on 700 acres. It’s an idea that has been in the works for years, and county officials say they aren’t aware of any other facility like it.

“When you look around the world, there are facilities that do components of this, but not what we’re looking at for really combining all four pieces,” Water Innovation Center Development Director Melissa Meeker said.

“When you add in the applied research, technology, innovation and demonstration hub with the workforce development in partnership with (Georgia Association of Water Professionals) as well as the partnership with the Environmental and Heritage Center as well as the F. Wayne Hill plant … when you integrate all of those pieces, it is unique around the world.”

County officials broke ground on the Water Innovation Center amid the trees that line Woodward Mill Road at Interstate 985 on Tuesday afternoon. The facility is expected to take three years to complete, See GROUNDBREAKING, Page 7A

Rutledge said in light of the recent fires and Fire Prevention Month, “now is the time to make sure your home and family are prepared in case a fire breaks out.”

“Knowing what to do in a fire could save your life,” he said. “The more prepared you are and the more smoke alarms you have, the less likely you are to become trapped.”

Some tips fire officials are encouraging residents to take advantage of include: • Putting a working smoke alarm in each bedroom at a home, as well as in the basement and outside the sleeping areas on each floor of the house; • Replacing any smoke alarms that are at least 10 years old; • Testing smoke alarms at least once a month; • Interconnecting smoke alarms so they all go off at the same time; • Putting together home fire escape plans; • Practicing fire drills on a regular basis; • Keep a portable ladder

on the upstairs level of the home in case the exits normally used to leave the home are blocked; • Crawl low to get under smoke and heat when escaping from a burning home; • Do not go back into a

house that is on fire; and • Call 911 once everyone is out of the home.

Anyone who has any questions about fire safety can call the Gwinnett Fire Community Risk Reduction Division at 678-5184845 or send an email

Demand Soars for New Hudgens Prize applications Blood Sugar Pill for Men accepted through Oct. 15 That Triggers Erections in a Stunning Way

BY ISABEL HUGHES isabel.hughes@ gwinnettdailypost.com

Public now facing 48-hour cut off; clinical trials show participants saw significant increasing in sexual drive, erection quality, and performance; eyesight improved, and even nerve pain relief throughout the body in days without side effects

Triggering All Day Arousal And Longer Lasting Erections

Scientists in China have discovered a natural compound with a known ability to trigger arousal and help men achieve erections more easily. This compound is not a drug. It is the active ingredient in Sugasil.

Sugasil is at the forefront in a new class of neuropathy compounds called Triterpenes. The word ‘Triterpenes’ is a scientific term that simply means the pill works by safely removing sugar from the blood, allowing it to flow properly through the nerves to penis and genitals, resulting in harder erections which last longer.

But what makes Sugasil so remarkable is that also directs a small portion of this blood flow to the brain, which creates feelings of intense arousal. In laymen’s terms, users become incredibly excited and turned on.

The clinical trials were conducted by U.S. scientists from the Clinic of Endocrinology and Metabolic Disorders. In the studies, men between the ages of 40 and 60 who were suffering from erectile problems due to high blood sugar took the active ingredient in Sugasil.

They were instructed to take it daily without making changes to their current diet or lifestyle.

The results were stunning. The participants who took the pill as directed were able to achieve significantly bigger, harder, and longer lasting erections.

They also showed improvements in orgasms,

The Hudgens Center hosted the first $50,000 competition for Georgia artists in 2010 with award winner Gyun Hur’s solo exhibition in 2011.

Atlanta artist Pam Longobardi was the 2013 Hudgens Prize recipient and Bethany Collins was the winner in 2015.

Lauri Stallings is the most recent recipient and her work is on display through Oct. 20.

The deadline for applications is Oct. 15. To apply or for more information, visit thehudgens.org/hudgensprize.

More Than Just Blood Sugar Pill: Doctors are now recommending new Sugasil to their patients. Studies show it triggers erection, improves eyesight, and even relieves pain, tingling and numbness in the back, hands, legs in days without side effects or drug interactions.

The Way It Works Is Extraordinary

Sugasil is two-a-day pill before a meal. The pill is small. Easy to swallow.

No prescription needed.

There are no harmful side effects, and it can be taken safely alongside any other medications.

Research shows that high blood sugar can injure nerve fibers throughout your body. Nerve problems can occur in every organ system, including the digestive tract, heart, and sex organs.

The result can be numbness, tingling, or pain in the toes, feet, legs, hands, arms, and fingers, loss of strength, and erectile problems.

Scientists believe Sugasil’s active ingredients work to protect the nerves from free radical damage caused by high blood sugar, while simultaneously repairing damage already done by increasing blood flow to the nerve areas.

“It works like a champ.

Within a week I could feel the difference. Gives me lots of energy and stamina. I highly recommend Sugasil,” said Fred Townsend, from Greenville, SC.

Restoring Vision Loss In Weeks

High blood sugar retinopathy is a leading cause of vision-loss in elderly people globally. This is when chronic high blood sugar levels cause damage to the tiny blood vessels in the retina.

Scientists believe the active ingredients in Sugasil contain a potent antioxidant that protects the retina against free radical damage.

The clinical study has shown that this ingredient not only protects the eye, but also actually improves vision. After just 12-weeks, users in one trial see improvements in reading vision, night vision, near and distance focus. These results are amazing!

“When they told me I passed the eye exam, I was amaze. I’m so glad I tried Sugasil… I can read my cell phone screen better

now! Even the small stuff,” said Iverson George, from Seattle, WA.

Quick Acting Pain Relief In Days

Breakthrough research published by major health organizations, like PubMed, reveal that the leading ingredients in Sugasil can repair and regenerate damaged nerves throughout the body, providing fast acting pain relief within days. Therefore, tingling, pain, and numbness in the hands, back, arms, legs, and feet were disappeared.

In a clinical trial, users using these active ingredients reported the ability to open jars or grip cups with greater strength and less discomfort. They even report being able to sleep again with greater comfort and less leg pain.

Another study published in the Diabetes Care Journal showed a 50% reduction in neuropathic symptoms including burning pain, stabbing pain and asleep numbness in just 3 weeks.

“My left hip joint was so stiff and painful I could barely get to sleep at night,” said Tom W. from Oregon. “but since using Sugasil my pain and stiffness has been relieved, and I am now able to get a good night’s rest again,” he added.

“I also noticed my eyesight becomes more and more clear… even saw an increased sense of wellbeing, vitality and sexual performance in the first 30 days,” said Tom.

How To Get Sugasil In Georgia

This is the official nationwide release of Sugasil in the United States.

And so, the company is offering a special discount supply to any person who calls within the next 48-hours.

A Regional Order Hotline has been set up for local readers to call. This gives everyone an equal chance to try Sugasil.

Starting at 7:00 am today, the order hotline will be open for 48-hours. All you have to do is call TOLL FREE 1-800-770-1704 and provide the operator with the special discount approval code: BB368. The company will do the rest.

Important: Due to Sugasil’s recent media exposure, phone lines are often busy. If you call and do not immediately get through, please be patient and call back.

Current supplies of Sugasil are limited. So consumers that don’t get through the next 48-hours may have to pay more and wait until more inventory is produced. This could take as long as 6 weeks.

These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease. All clinical studies on Sugasil’s active ingredients were independently conducted and were not sponsored by the Maker of Sugasil.

sexual desire and overall sexual satisfaction. This active ingredient has even been shown to be more powerful than testosterone treatments for improving the strength of orgasms.

With results like these, it’s easy to see why sales of Sugasil are booming.

“My wife and I were both sexually vibrant until I had high blood sugar issue. We tried everything my doctor recommended but nothing worked. Within a few weeks of taking Sugasil, everything has been functioning beautifully and we’ve been riding high ever since!” said Kevin T., 75 years old, from Phoenix, AZ.

By J. C. Anderson Universal Media Syndicate U M S —T h o u s a n d s of callers are clogging a Wyoming company’s telephone lines trying to get this breakthrough blood sugar pill.

The remarkable pill that restores sex drive has men from all over the country calling is called Sugasil. And there are some very good reasons why so many men want it.

You see, Sugasil starts working on your sexual health function within days of taking it. Users don’t have to wait weeks or months to notice results.

In clinical trials, participants experienced significant increasing in sexual desire, erection quality, and performance.

They also reported eyesight improvement, and even nerve pain relief throughout the body. They got these results taking Sugasil’s active ingredients as directed and without changing their diet or taking additional medications.

And people that have used this amazing blood sugar pill are singing its praises.

“All I did was take it daily like the instruction said and within days I noticed improvements. Sugasil has been awesome for my sex drive and performance! I feel more confident in bed… more frequent erections at night and in the morning,” said Robert Parker from Longview, Texas.

Researchers believe that Sugasil’s active ingredients work to restore blood flow and nitric oxide to nerves that have been damaged by high blood sugar; this is what boosts your sex drive and triggers stronger, longer lasting erections.

Calling all Georgia artists: Applications for the Hudgens Center for Art and Learning’s Hudgens Prize are now open.

Open to entrants 18 and up, the Hudgens Prize visual arts competition is intended to elevate

Your daughter-in-law did the right thing in returning this to you, but she should not have asked you to keep a secret from your son. She said she would handle this, but evidently she has not.

It’s also not obvious that she has held her daughters accountable for their larceny.

You should let your daughter-in-law know that your son keeps inquiring about the pendant. Tell her that the next time he asks about it, you’ll tell him the truth. Ask her and the girls to come clean to him. They did a bad thing. It has been rectified. Keeping this a secret draws out the drama.

I assume you have fully forgiven them. It’s time to move on.

Granddaughters’ larceny creates chaos DEAR AMy: I have two granddaughters; 11 and 14.

We have a vacation home, and they come to stay for a week or two every summer.

While they were visiting this year, I noticed both girls trying on old clothes and jewelry from a closet. One granddaughter asked me if she could keep a gemstone pendant that she had found.

It had belonged to my mother, and I was not ready to part with it. She seemed disappointed, but said she would put it back.

I didn’t think anything of it until after they left. When I went to go look for the pendant, I was unable to find it.

I emailed my son and asked if he knew if the girls had taken it. He said he didn’t think they would do something like that, and that I had probably just misplaced it.

Murder

•From Page 1A been out — going to the parks, going to parking lots and malls around the area,” she said. “I was going to Beaver Ruin (Monday afternoon) where (Tunchez’s brother) plays soccer when I tuned into the news and I heard that people had found a body. I called the (news) station and (got the address), and that’s when I saw the truck.”

Tunchez’s truck, which was found parked along the curb a few houses away from where the young man was found, was towed to Gwinnett County Police Department headquarters Monday night, where it will be processed by crime scene investigators, Pihera said.

Detectives are still trying to determine what brought Tunchez to Northcliff Drive, Pihera said, given the uncle lives nearly 20 minutes away — something the man’s friends told the Daily Post they were also trying to understand.

“He’s a youth leader and he ministers the children and plays the piano at our church (Iglesia de Dios Catedral de Fe),” Pagan said. “We’ve known William since he was a year old; he’s been in the church all his life. Some might think he came over here to buy some pot (but) I promise you — William is not involved in any bad things.

He ministered (Sunday) and he goes to school at

Gwinnett Tech.”

Police have not said whether they believe drugs or alcohol were involved, though Northcliff Drive resident Michelle Harrison told the Daily Post the area where Tunchez was found — police described it as some sort of walkway into the woods that was never developed into an official path — is an area teens would sometimes go to smoke marijuana.

“They know they can go back there into the woods and smoke pot and not (get caught),” she said. “Over the weekend, we had an issue with a lot of teenagers going back there and smoking weed.”

Despite the walkway sometimes being an issue, Harrison said that is about the extent of the problems the small Suwanee subdivision has, which makes Tunchez’s murder all the more shocking.

“It really is a great neighborhood,” she said.

“Nothing like this (has ever happened), and we’ve been here forever.”

Other neighbors told the Daily Post that they did not see or hear anything unusual Sunday night or Monday, saying that had Tunchez been shot — Pihera said she did not have “any conclusive info about how he was injured” — they would likely have heard it.

Katherinne Zaldana, a childhood friend of

Tunchez’s, told the Daily Post that she spoke to the neighbor whose son found Tunchez’s body, who said there didn’t appear to be any bullet wounds.

“She said that her 10-year-old son was playing outside with his friends when he ran up to her and said, ‘Hey mom, there’s a body,’” Zaldana said. “She went to go look and said there was blood, like he was trying to get back up.

They think he might have been stabbed; (detectives) said he only had $300 on him though, because they looked though his bank records.”

While friends and family, as well as law enforcement, still have many unanswered questions, Zaldana said for now, the focus is on Tunchez’s life and his legacy.

“William would randomly text me to see how I was, and we’d actually talked on Saturday about going out next weekend,” she said. “I was probably less than 10 years old when I met him; I’m 18 now.

He was my childhood best friend and I remember him and his brother and I would used to play fight. He had so much ambition and so much going for him, for his future.”

Zaldana said that’s what makes his murder so difficult to understand.

“Imagine a Hispanic guy who’s doing construction but also going to school,”

she said. “Most kids quit (school) by that time, but he was hungry for more.

Not a lot of kids have that, and we lost just a pure soul.

That’s the painful part, and that he was so young.”

Zaldana said though Tunchez didn’t deserve whatever happened to him, she has faith the truth will come out.

“At the end of the day, everything comes to light and everything is known,” she said. “The truth above determines whats going to happen and the people who did this are going to pay.

Maybe not in this life, but talking about spiritually — they will (pay).”

Tunchez’s family has set up a GoFundMe page to help pay for the man’s funeral. To donate, visit gofundme.com/ willian-tunchez-funeralexpenses?member=897236.

GBI probes Lawrenceville-area shooting involving Gwinnett cop

By Curt yeomans

curt.yeomans @gwinnettdailypost.com

The Georgia Bureau of Investigation has been brought in to investigate an officer-involved shooting in unincorporated

Lawrenceville in which a Gwinnett County police officer shot a man who was allegedly holding a gun and moving to point it at police Tuesday night.

Gwinnett police Cpl. Michele Pihera said the Gang Unit was called

to 1989 Prospect Road just before 7 p.m. on a report about possible gang activity. The officer heard yelling coming from behind the home and went to investigate.

“As they began to investigate the source

Police identified the driver of the car as Oluyinka Akinseinde of Lawrenceville.

“The car was on (U.S. Highway) 29 coming northbound and went through the intersection, through the guide wire and the (telephone) pole, caught the barricade (by a gas pump) and flipped on

“Operation is almost 100 percent; we’re just waiting on some more customers to come look at their boats,” Barac said.

“Once they do, we will salvage all their trailers and then it’ll be business as usual and we’ll rebuild. We’re hoping to have the power back on (Wednesday) and then we’ll be able to have our gate working again. Luckily it’s the off season so we’re not really busy anyway.”

Barac said while there are “no real numbers yet” as to how much damage the fire caused, he confirmed it is likely in the millions of dollars, though said official numbers won’t be ready for at least several weeks.

In total, Rutledge said the fire,which is still under investigation, completely destroyed 86 boats and four vehicles in addition to damaging the office building and an adjoining motorcycle shop.

Fire investigators believe the fire started in an area “mid-way down the building between two boats and a pull-behind camper,” Rutledge said, though the cause of the fire is still unknown.

Rutledge said investigators do not currently have any reason to suspect foul play, though the investigation is ongoing and fire department and an insurance investigator were at the site Monday.

Wreck its side,” he said. “It hit a parked car, knocked it into a minivan as it continued into the store and struck a pedestrian that was outside.”

Parker said investigators are not yet sure what sort of medical emergency Akinseinde suffered and estimated the car was going about 70 mph in a 45 mph zone when it veered from the road.

Shafquat Chaudhary, the owner of the convenience store, told the Daily Post that though he wasn’t at the business at the time of

with an opening expected to happen in October 2021.

Among the features of the facility are wet and dry laboratory spaces, conference rooms, a three-story demonstration bay, an auditorium with seating for 250 people and classrooms.

It will have space for research institution and water-related organizations to study water-related issues. There will also be a business incubator for startup companies that work within the water industry.

“This is one of those things that while it’s fun and certainly exciting to be a part of, we also know it’s going to serve a very important purpose, not just for Gwinnett County, but for a broader area too,” Gwinnett County commission Chairwoman Charlotte Nash said.

Meeker and Gwinnett County Department of Water Resources Assistant Director Tyler Richards said the center will also compliment the educational programming offerings at the Environmental and Heritage Center.

Whereas that facility’s programs are primarily targeted toward younger school students, the Water Innovation Center’s educational programming would be geared toward older pupils, such as high school and college students.

“We’ve been working very closely with (Gwinnett County Community Services Director) Tina Fleming right from the beginning about how we would program these to be complimentary rather than competitive,” Richards said. “So it’s an idea that we can achieve the education of that older group.

“It’ll be a lot more technical than we typically do for kids, but (the innovation center will) also have some things where they can come over and see some cool research projects because our goal is to want people to work in the water profession.”

world Mexican couple arrested, may have killed 20 A couple arrested in Mexico while pushing a baby stroller filled with human body parts may have killed up to 20 women, according to the chief investigator on the case.

The man and woman were detained Thursday in the Mexico City suburb of Ecatepec on suspicion of murdering 10 female victims. However, the male suspect has since claimed that they are responsible for twice as many deaths.

Police arrested the pair, identified only as “Juan Carlos N.” and his wife “Patricia “N.,” during an investigation into the disappearance of three women and a two-monthold baby. The man gave detailed accounts of the original 10 deaths. He also told police that he and his wife had killed a further 10 people, according to State of Mexico Prosecutor Alejandro Gomez and reported

by AFP. Police found eight plastic buckets full of dismembered body parts and cement in the couple’s house, Gomez revealed in a Facebook post on Sunday.

More remains were found in a refrigerator, wrapped in plastic bags. Tests are now being carried out on the grisly evidence.

UN Ambassador Haley resigns CNN President Donald Trump announced Tuesday that U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley has resigned and will leave her post by the end of the year.

Sitting side-by-side in the Oval Office, Trump praised Haley as a “fantastic person” who has “done an incredible job” and said he would gladly welcome her back into his administration down the line.

“She’s done a fantastic job and we’ve done a fantastic job together. We’ve solved a lot of problems and we’re in the process of solving a lot of problems,” Trump said.

“She told me probably six months ago, ‘You know maybe at end of the year — at the end of the two-year period — but by the end of the year I want to take a little time off, I want to take a break.”

However, a source familiar with the situation told CNN that Haley notified Trump about her decision last week and did not tell Secretary of State Mike Pompeo or White House national security adviser John Bolton.

Both Bolton and Pompeo were surprised by the announcement, a source familiar told CNN. Officials inside the White House, who had little indication Haley was

resigning Tuesday, are questioning her timing.

While Trump said she told him six months ago she wanted time off, there are questions among senior administration aides about why Haley chose this moment — four weeks before midterms, and right after a bruising political battle involving gender — to take her leave.

One official said there was little coordination on the announcement and sources tell CNN that almost all senior administration officials found themselves caught off guard by the announcement.

Still, Trump lavished praise on Haley during the Oval Office event, saying she has “been very special to me” and calling her “somebody that gets it.”

The president also said Haley could have her “pick” of administration posts if she ever decides she wants to rejoin his administration.

“We’re all happy for you in one way, but we hate to lose — hopefully you’ll be coming back at some point but in a different capacity. You can have your pick,” Trump said as Haley smiled broadly.

Yet, in the wake of her resignation, two sources familiar with Haley’s relationship with Trump told CNN that she had lost clout with the president in recent months.

people Dakota Johnson wants sexual assault victims to give her a call

Dakota Johnson isn’t just speaking out about violence and sexual harassment against women — she’s inviting others to do the same.

And she’s giving out her phone number.

The “Fifty Shades of Grey” actress was one of the speakers last week at the Global Citizen Festival in New York City. On Monday, she posted a phone number on Instagram seeking others stories.

Lyft hires Obama administration’s top transportation official

By Matt McFarland CNN

Lyft just made a splashy hire as it focuses on working more closely with governments.

Anthony Foxx, former President Obama’s secretary of the Department of Transportation from 2013-17, will serve as Lyft’s chief policy officer and adviser to its co-founders.

Foxx’s move speaks to the increasingly central role tech com-

He Foxx is expected to focus on is the first former transportation developing more partnerships secretary to join a Silicon Valley with governments and reshaping startup. In May, he lamented in a mass transit systems in cities. speech that while he served as the As a child raised in Charlotte, government’s top transportation N.C., Foxx saw how transportaofficial he had less real-time intion can constrain rather than formation about how his nation’s connect communities.

In a Medium post, Foxx recalled how his grandparents would drive their used car across town to avoid buying moldy meats and seafood at the nearest stores. Many of his neighbors couldn’t afford to own a car, a privilege not lost on Foxx.

Foxx was mayor of Charlotte, focusing particular interest on transportation. Now he joins a team long devoted to ending car ownership: Lyft’s founders have criticized U.S. cities for being designed around cars rather than

people, and expressed alarm that most Americans spend more money on transportation than food.

Lyft, long overshadowed by its larger rival Uber, has resurged since Uber endured a series of scandals in 2017. Lyft, which is still significantly smaller than Uber, reached the one-billion-ride milestone in September and has expanded into offering bikes and scooters — another area Foxx will focus on.

Gwinnett police issue ‘report cards’ to stem car break-ins Gwinnett police are trying to prevent car breakins by issuing “car theft report cards” to motorists at parks and other popular public places.

Usually when drivers find a small piece of paper on their windshield from a police officer, they assume the worst — it’s a dreaded ticket.

Yet some in Gwinnett County have discovered that those slips of paper are not, in fact, citations; rather, they are “auto theft report cards,” a new initiative by the Gwinnett County Police Department to help motorists reduce the chances of having their

vehicles broken into.

“It’s hard to quantify if they’re effective, but we do hope that they’re an eyeopening experience for people,” said Cpl. Michele Pihera, spokeswoman for the department. “A lot of times, (our officers) go to our parks and issue these

vehicle theft report cards and we hope (motorists) take what they’re learning and (apply) it later. We just want them to remember not to leave their stuff in plain sight” The report cards feature a checklist of items, which officers can mark as “improvement needed.”

Some of those items include unlocked doors, valuables in sight, charging cords in sight and other things thieves look for when choosing cars to break into.

“People do leave their cars unlocked and it’s quite a shocking (number),” Pihera said. “Let’s say you go to the soccer field or you go to the ball field for your kid’s game and you leave your car unlocked or you leave your purse on the seat. A lot of people think, ‘Well, the other people who are visiting the park are soccer moms or soccer dads like me, or they’re coaches; they’re not here to steal my stuff.’ In reality, there’s more people than that who are going to these parks.

“We’ve got predators out there who are targeting exactly those cars to steal stuff because (they know) people sometimes get a false sense of security because of where they’re at.”

Pihera said while locking car doors is one of the most effective ways to prevent thefts from cars, taking everything out of the vehicle is also key.

“We need to teach people to not only lock their doors, but get everything out of plain sight,” she said. “In my minivan, the only thing you can see are two umbrellas and a strollers, because those things are not worth stealing. If (thieves) see any value to (an item), they’re going to try to break into your car.”

Getting everything out of plain sight should happen before a person arrives at his or her destination, too, Pihera said.

“Let’s say you go to the gym and you don’t want to take your purse inside, so you put it in the trunk — out of sight, out of mind, nobody can see it,” she said. “But if you wait until you go to the gym to do it, you’re just advertising where all your valuables are, so always (hide it) before you get to your intended destination.”

Pihera said if motorists have no other option but to leave important items in their cars, they can try to trick potential thieves.

“I’ve heard of people of people using a children’s lunchbox; let’s say it’s got ‘Dora the Explorer’ on it,” she said. “If they have to leave their valuables in their car — which I still don’t want them to do — sometimes they’ll put it in something that’s not attractive, like a lunchbox, because then (thieves) think all they’re going to get is a moldy peanut butter and jelly sandwich.”

In addition to removing or hiding valuables, Pihera said vehicle owners should also be wary not to leave their windows cracked or leave garage door openers in a car.

By leaving a door opener, thieves could potentially get access to your home, should they get a hold of a piece of mail or other item with an address on it.

HAPPY RETURNS Pyle enthusiastic about mix of talented youth, leadership on roster in his comeback season

By Christine Troyke Nearly half of the Atlanta Gladiators roster has been assigned from its two affiliates and more could be on the way before the season starts Saturday.

The team is working with both Boston and Nashville this year, which increases the

chances of a revolving door.

That’s just fine with head coach Jeff Pyle, who returns to the Gladiators after leading them to six playoff appearances in their first eight years in Gwinnett.

“That’s been my motto from Day 1: We’re about

moving guys up,” Pyle said. “(Nashville and Boston) did help us out quite a bit. They were looking out for us. The affiliation right now is working really well. We’re getting quality kids, good players and we want to help them get back to where they need to be.

“There’s a lot of good, young, talented kids. I’ve always said my job is to push guys out and I think right now we’ve probably got more guys than we expected to get, but I’ll never complain about that.”

Blue Devil bloodline

Schlicht brothers bring talent, family tradition to Norcross boys cross country program

By David Friedlander

NORCROSS — When Nathaniel Brooks took over as Norcross’ head boys cross country coach a year ago, his goal was to infuse some new blood into the program.

And he has done so thanks in no small part to the contributions of what could be the start of a long and talented bloodline of current and future Blue Devils runners.

Gabriel Schlicht arrived at Norcross as a freshman

a year before Brooks in the fall of 2016, while younger brother Miguel arrived with Brooks last fall.

Together, the two brothers have proven to be the catalysts for a rapidly improving Blue Devils program after a successful middle school career at the appropriately-named Cornerstone Christian Academy, a K-8 private school in Peachtree Corners.

“Last year when Miguel first arrived here, I was so excited because I recognized how young this team Brothers Gabriel and Miguel Schlicht have brought plen-

Blank, Jones steamed over losses Owners of Falcons, Cowboys lash out at teams Field Level Media Losses by the Dallas Cowboys and Atlanta Falcons on Sunday left their owners perturbed and perplexed.

After Sunday night’s 19-16 overtime loss to the Houston Texans, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones secondguessed coach Jason Garrett’s decision to punt with 5:30 left in overtime and a fourth-and-1 on the Texans’ 42-yard line.

“We were being outplayed. It’s time for risks at that particular time,” Jones said.

Garrett said it was fourth and too long of a yard to go to take the chance.

“Yeah, it was a long one,” he said after the game. “You know, we had a third-and-2, and we didn’t make much on it, and we just felt like, at that point in the game, the way our defense was playing, the idea was to pin them down there.”

The Cowboys (2-3) accomplished that, forcing the Texans to start their next possession on their own 10-yard line. But the Cowboys’ defense couldn’t make a stop until it was too late. Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson took his team 72 yards down the field on eight plays, leaving kicker Ka’imi Fairbairn to connect on a 36-yard field goal attempt to end the game.

Quarterback Dak Prescott defended his coach.

“In that case you don’t question the coach’s decision,” Prescott said. “The defense had been playing good all night. They

kept us in the game for a bunch of the game, from the second quarter. In the fourth quarter, they gave us a chance all day long.”

In Atlanta, Arthur Blank is equally unhappy. The owner had harsh words after the Falcons’ 41-17 road loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers.

“We can’t erase the last five games,” Blank said.

“We have to make adjustments. That’s all you can do. Start out next week and act like it’s 0-0. Nobody wants to hear any excuses.

Nobody wants to hear any stories. That’s the nature of this business.”

Coach Dan Quinn could try to make an excuse, though, for the slow start by the Falcons, who were a Super Bowl pick by many to start the year. Their defense has been decimated by injuries, with middle linebacker Deion Jones and safeties Keanu Neal and Ricardo Allen on injured reserve.

“The answers are within

our own locker room, to play like we’re capable of playing,” Quinn said.

Matt Ryan went 26 of 38 for 285 yards and a touchdown for Atlanta, which was outscored 28-7 in the second half.

In a matchup of teams widely picked to be Super Bowl contenders, Pittsburgh (2-2-1) managed to get its second win. Atlanta fell to 1-4.

James Conner leaped over the pile for a 1-yard touchdown to open the scoring. On an eight-play, 78-yard drive, he touched the ball eight times, six runs for 43 yards and a drive-defining, 29-yard reception.

Pittsburgh kicker Chris Boswell’s extra point attempt was wide right, leaving it 6-0.

Roethlisberger’s 18-yard scoring pass on third down to JuJu Smith-Schuster capped an 11-play, 97yard drive and gave the Steelers a 13-0 lead with 37 seconds left in the first

quarter.

Ryan’s 43-yard touchdown pass to Mohamed Sanu, hit in stride as he was left uncovered, brought the Falcons to within 13-7 early in the second quarter.

Matt Bryant made it closer with a 47-yard field goal for Atlanta later in the quarter, and the Falcons trailed just 13-10 at halftime.

In the third, the Steelers drove 85 yards in 12 plays with Roethlisberger hitting Brown on the right edge of the end zone for 9 yards and a 20-10 lead.

On Atlanta’s ensuing drive, Roosevelt Nix blocked a punt by Atlanta’s Matt Bosher to set up Pittsburgh at the Atlanta 18. That led to Conner’s 2-yard scoring run to the right pylon to make it 27-10 with 1:39 left in the third.

Rookie Ito Smith’s 2-yard bolt up the middle pulled the Falcons within 27-17 with 12:28 left.

New Alternative to Adult Diapers and Catheters Sets Men Free

‘Super-comfortable,’ offers 24 hour leak-free security, available to many at little to no out-of-pocket cost!

CHICAGO — If you’re one of the four million American men who secretly wear adult diapers, or use a catheter to deal with your urinary incontinence or weak bladder, here’s some lifechanging news.

There’s a new non-catheter alternative available that not only helps keep men dry and leak-free for up to 24 consecutive hours, but the best part is, if you’re covered by Medicare, Medicaid, TriCare, and some select insurance plans, you can try this high-tech ‘fluid collection’ breakthrough at little to no out-of-pocket cost.

flow to a discreet collection pouch.

It’s comfortable, unnoticeable to others, and secure.

It’s this trusted sense of security that assistant registered nurse and caregiver, Mark Nagle, NAR, calls, “wonderful.”

DoctorRecommended

“It doesn’t cause skin irritation, and my patients never have to worry about red spots or sores. My patient doesn’t wear disposable briefs anymore, and I am happy to report that we always have a dry bed and a dry pair of pants.”

For John C., Men’s Liberty is a “lifesaver.”

Carefree Comfort

“The most degrading thing that my husband can think of is being in a diaper,” says Tina J. “Men’s Liberty to the rescue. We attended our granddaughter’s graduation in comfort and without the fear. You couldn’t tell he had it on, which was a big concern for him.”

Invisible Under Clothing

569190-1

Men’s Liberty is made of a gentle, skinfriendly material called hydrocolloid, a medicalgrade adhesive that softly stretches and moves with a man as he changes position.

Unlike absorbents that cause diaper rash, yeast infections, and dermatitis, Men’s Liberty attaches to the tip of a man’s anatomy, directing his

“The feeling of not wanting to associate with others because you fear loss of control, or fear what others might think of you, goes away.”

“I think that Liberty is well named in that it liberates the individual to a sense of being able to perform normal tasks in a normal way.”

For years, John dealt with urinary incontinence by wearing an indwelling catheter.

When he discovered Men’s Liberty, his life changed. “It’s allowed me to maintain my lifestyle with my work and my family.”

Death of Diapers?

Will this urinary break-through sink the $7 billion adult diaper industry?

Many experts think so.

Because adult diapers are not covered by Medicare, the estimated four million men who use them daily pay as much as $300 a month in out of pocket costs.

Tucson resident, Sam T., wore them for years.

“I remember the continued moisture in my crotch would give me a yeast infection, not a good thing,” he says.

Sam wore four or five absorbents during the day, and two or three at night. “All of that went

The $7B adult diaper industry is facing a catastrophic drop in revenue thanks to a revolutionary development in men’s urological care.

away when I found Men’s Liberty,” he smiles.

Enjoy Life Again

“I can wear Men’s Liberty for 24 hours with minimal interruption,” says Sam, “even after drinking coffee!”

“Movies, meetings and social affairs are all possible now. Our granddaughter graduated with honors from high school last week,” says the beaming grandfather.

“I sat beside my wife, applauding!”

During the sizzling hot Arizona summers, you’ll always find Sam in a pair of cargo shorts.

“I buy my shorts with an 11-inch inseam, which is perfect for Men’s Liberty,” he says.

Discreet and Unnoticed

“The drain nozzle is hidden right above the hemline. So, I can stand at the urinal, like other guys, and discreetly drain the pouch, and no one notices a thing. In ten seconds, I’m good to go!”

Managing urinary incontinence in a medical

setting can be challenging.

Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are frequently caused by catheter use.

If untreated, UTIs can cause a secondary infection, often resulting in hospitalization.

That’s why Men’s Liberty is recommended by leading healthcare professionals.

Doctor’s Choice

Urologist Alden Cockburn, MD, has personally tried Men’s Liberty and now recommends it to his patients.

“I tried it myself during one of the testing phases and it’s very comfortable; certainly, more comfortable than the alternatives,” he says.

“It allows men to have freedom of movement.”

“I think Liberty is a good name because it does afford men the liberty of a lifestyle that was not afforded to them before.”

When you feel in control of your sense of well-being,” adds Dr. Cockburn, “you feel more able to accomplish tasks that you previously wanted to bypass.”

Curious Sam T. in Tucson wanted to see how much liquid Men’s Liberty would hold.

“I can’t claim to be an expert research analyst,” laughs Sam, “but here is what I learned.”

Sam first filled a fresh Liberty unit with water and learned that it securely held one full cup.

On the top of his shelf, Sam found a few pairs of disposable briefs with built-in absorbent pads.

To his surprise, these held a whopping two cups of liquid, which may not be helpful, according to Sam. “I saw an ad on the internet,” says Sam, “that showed some guy wearing these briefs, walking around with a big smile on his face.”

“I thought to myself, yeah... if I had two cups of urine sloshing around my crotch, I wouldn’t be smiling, and I would sure be walking ‘funny.’”

“Also,” says Sam, “the slightest pressure on an absorbent will cause it to leak.

Men’s Liberty doesn’t leak and sure won’t cause “funny” walking,” he says.

Four Million Used!

More than 4 million Men’s Liberty units have been used, with ZERO attributable UTIs or

serious skin injuries.

That comes as no surprise to the thousands of healthcare professionals who recommend Men’s Liberty everyday.

Dr. Fernando Borges.

“I recommend Men’s Liberty to patients with urinary incontinence because of the low incidents of trauma, erosion, and infection.”

Covered by Medicare

Men’s Liberty is covered by Medicare, Medicaid, TriCare, and over 3,000 insurance plans.

Compared to paying over $300 a month for diapers, you could be getting Men’s Liberty for little or no out-of- pocket cost!

The Men’s Liberty Team will take care of contacting your doctor and all the paperwork for your insurance. No overwhelming insurance forms... it’s that easy!

7, 2019 at Augusta National Golf Club — From staff reports

•From Page 1B was and how much potential (it had),” Brooks said of the Schlicht brothers.

“I was just super excited that we had such a young, talented team that could continue to grow.

“It’s been a huge blessing having them. First off, their family is super supportive, which is all you can want. They had a great coach in Austin McDonald at Cornerstone, who really set high expectations coming in and allowed me to just take over.”

Indeed, cross country is a tradition that has run through several different generations of the Schlicht family.

Gabriel and Miguel’s father Greg and grandfather Jake, plus two of their uncles, enjoyed success running before them as student-athletes in their younger days.

And with three younger brothers — Manuel, Daniel and Samuel, the former a sixth-grader at Cornerstone and the latter two in the second and first grade respectively — apparently also having caught the cross country bug, it’s very possible, the Schlicht name could be quite the familiar one in the Norcross program for the next decade.

But as Gabriel points out, it is not only biological family ties that have played a role in his and Miguel’s development as runners, it’s also the figurative familial influence of the middle school program at Cornerstone.

“My grandpa and my dad both grew up as runners,” Gabriel said. “And we went to Cornerstone.

That’s where we were introduced to running because they have a cross country team there. My grandpa ran in college and one of my uncles ran in college. My dad and my other uncle ran in high school.

“Cornerstone is a small school, and everybody (runs). So it just came kind of natural.”

Between their own natural talent and the training they brought with them from home and the Cornerstone program, the Schlicht brothers have defi-

Brothers nitely made Brooks’ job a lot easier in building up the Norcross program.

“It’s great to have them, as well as their family,” Brooks said. “But it’s really the middle school (program), with them starting in middle school, that learning curve is not necessarily there for the freshmen that I feel like other schools might have to deal with.”

Still, the two brothers’ interest and knowledge in running both started at home, and Miguel says that both the past and current generations of the Schlicht family has had an impact on how he approaches running cross country.

In the case of the former, it is the advice his grandfather gave him about striking a balance between running aggressively on the course during competitive races, while being a little more cautious in training, at least during their formative years.

“My grandpa, he always likes to watch us run. He always tells me he was a very risky runner. And I just try to learn from that,” Miguel said when asked about the advice he’s gotten from his family in terms of strategy. “And (all the older family members always said) don’t run a lot when you’re really young because you can get hurt easier. Just work it up slower and not try to get a lot of miles the first time as a freshman and sophomore year.”

Of course, the two current Norcross Schlichts want each other to succeed in order to help the team succeed, but both admit there’s a little bit of sibling rivalry that spurs both on.

“He did really well when he first started running (at Norcross), and I thought I could be better than him,” Miguel said. “Of course, I try to beat him. I guess I just try to stay with him (on the course) as long as I can.”

Thus far, the older brother Gabriel has had the upper hand, with a faster personal best (16:35 to 16:54) and better results at some of the most important meets like the 2018 Gwinnett County

Championships last month (10th at 17:11.98 to 19th at 17:34.08) and the Asics Meet at Alexander High School in Douglasville this past weekend (fourth at 16:49.51 to seventh at 17:03.61).

But he acknowledges that Miguel is actually a little ahead of the pace he set during his own freshman and sophomore seasons in a lot of ways.

And that may only be the beginning in terms of the entire family.

“Miguel, comparatively by grade, has been faster,” Gabriel said. “If he sees me being successful, he probably thinks he should be faster. Then my younger brother (Manuel), who’s in sixth grade, and he won (Cornerstone’s region) championship.

“Maybe (I feel a responsibility set an example to his younger brothers) a little bit. Everybody just does their own thing, and everybody’s pretty competitive.”

Both Schlicht brothers have helped make Norcross extremely competitive as a team, but they’ve hardly been alone.

Teammates Jacob Bottomley, a senior, sophomore Elliott Januzelli and freshman Joseph Winters also placed in the top 26 individually to lift the Blue Devils to a runner-up finish in the team standings of the county meet, a result that has raised quite a few eyebrows around the county.

And Brooks says his runners hope to open eyes even wider throughout the state with the Class AAAAAAA sectional and state meets looming over the next month. “(Getting) second place at county was, I feel like, a wake-up call for some of the other teams that we race against in our area,” Brooks said. “There’s absolutely more left in the tank (for both). Our big mantra this season has been, ‘Why not us?’ We were a little bit overlooked in the preseason standings.

But challenging (the whole team) to make a name not only for themselves, but the school, that’s what we’re really looking forward to.”

Hemp Gummies Offer Amazing Relief That Tastes So Good Hemp Gummies offer users fast acting relief from agonizing joint and muscle discomfort that’s absolutely delicious; legal in all 50 states without a prescription Chris Laufstein Associated Health Press BOSTON - - For millions battling daily discomfort, this news couldn’t be more exciting.

A new relief extract found in hemp is legal in all 50 States and can be purchased without a prescription.

And the best part, it comes to users in the form of a tasty gummy bear.

So you can say goodbye to pills, needles, and creams!

Hemp Gummies, contains pure concentrated doses of legal hemp extract, which can help relieve agonizing joint discomfort along with general muscle aches and soreness.

It also calms, relaxes, and eases tension all over the body.

Exciting new scientific research shows that hemp extract contains special relief molecules called cannabinoids which bind to receptor cites in the brain and body. When taken orally, hemp extract activates these receptors, and soothing comfort begins to take form.

Legal Across the Nation Recent developments, like the US Farm Bill, allow Hemp Gummies to be sold in all States without a prescription. And since it can’t get you high it’s flying off the shelves.

“Most people have no idea that pure hemp extract, like Hemp Gummies, can be purchased legally anywhere in the US. And that’s because it contains no THC,” explains Dr. Joe Wezensky, who sits on the scientific board at Medici Quest.

“Instead, it’s bursting with special relief compounds called cannabinoids.

These cannabinoids target special receptor cites all over the body but are most prominent in the brain.”

“This system of cannabinoids and the receptors that they bind to are called the Endocannabinoid System and science is just now unlocking its amazing medical potential” “In fact, the initial research has been so impressive that hemp extract is now patented by the US Government (patent #6,630,507).”

“It’s also being used by athletes in the NFL, MMA among other physically demanding sports as a safe alternative.”

Clearing Up the Confusion Around Hemp One of the biggest mistakes people make when talking about hemp extract is mixing it up with marijuana.

Although the two fall under the same plant category, cannabis sativa, they have completely different effects on the body.

Remarkably, hemp extract is 100% legal and can’t get you high (ever!).

That’s because there is no THC in it, the chemical that makes you feel “buzzed”.

A GUMMY A DAY TO KEEP ALL YOUR ACHES AWAY: Hemp Gummies a 5 milligram dose of Hemp Extract that works all day to keep you comfortable and pain free.

“Although you can’t get high from Hemp Gummies, you can start feeling the relief right away” explains Wezensky.

“Most people have very low cannabinoid levels, which is why they constantly ache. Hemp Gummies boosts cannabinoid levels extremely fast, helping relieve lingering joint discomfort ...muscle tension...and general soreness.

It also eases stress and elicits amazing relaxation without feeling impaired. And what most people really love is they’re delicious and so easy to take on the go.

How it Works Clinical studies show that cannabinoids and the receptors that they bind to are found all over your body.

However, they are most concentrated in your brain.

That’s why it has such a profound impact on how you feel, especially your level of comfort.

These cannabinoids and their receptors work like “lock and key” and bind to each other triggering important biological processes.

Hemp Extract, like Hemp Gummies, may help users with...

• Aching joints • Sore muscles • Cramping • Leg and foot discomfort • Restlessness • Stress • Sleep problems Keeps Your Body Balanced...

The incredible impact cannabinoids have on your health is directly related to the primary goal of your Endocannabinoid System, which is to maintain a balance in the body, a physiological state known as homeostasis.

Research shows that maintaining this balance is a key to vitality and healthy bodily function.

The cannabinoids found in Hemp Gummies, hemp extract, replenish your levels quickly, easing discomfort over the entire body.

Plus, by keeping your body in balance (homeostasis), Hemp Gummies also helps to relieve stress and tension...

improve sleep... and even promote relaxation and calmness.

Not Yet Sold in Stores Hemp extract that is derived from industrial hemp, like Hemp Gummies, is 100% legal in all 50 States.

However, several major pharmaceutical companies are currently testing hemp extract in clinical settings, which means it may require a prescription in the future.

It’s advised to get Hemp Gummies while you can.

Taking All the Risk Off Consumers A large percentage of men and women using Hemp Gummies experience truly amazing results.

That’s why it’s now being sold with a guarantee that goes way beyond the industry standard.

“We can only make this guarantee because we are 100% certain our customers will be satisfied,” says Wezensky. We want to take full risk of consumers.

So in addition to offering substantial discounts for first time customers, we also make them a huge promise that ensures they don’t have to risk a cent.”

PREP FOOTBALL NOTES

Tigers’ Banks shows versatility

By Taylor Denman

taylor.denman@ gwinnettdailypost.com

Quieter than usual against Newton on Thursday night, Archer running back Semaje Banks still got his name on the post-game scoring summary by tacking on a 9-yard, thirdquarter TD run in Archer’s 40-14 win.

Banks ran the ball six times for 31 yards for Archer on an offense that is whirring this season to an average of nearly 40 points scored per game.

The senior running back leads the Tigers in rushing this season with 404 yards on 56 carries. He’s nearly as dangerous using his hands. Banks has 11 total catches for 112 yards receiving this season.

His eight total TDs tie him for the most on the team.

Banks, a senior, has flown under the college football recruiting radar so far. But his frame and his measurables indicate he has the potential to compete at the college level. Banks is 5-foot-10 and a solid 200-pounds. He also was clocked at 10.90 seconds in the 100-meter dash during his junior season with Archer’s track and field team.

He’s someone Archer head football coach Andy Dyer said the Tigers will certainly rely on in the upcoming game against Grayson.

“He’s got some good size to him, so he’s a dynamic runner,” Archer head coach Andy Dyer said. “He’s powerful and he’s got speed.

“He’s a great weapon for us. A very tough, physical kid who catches the ball out of the backfield. He gives us a lot of opportunities to use him in different ways.”

Dixon shows off his arm Grayson senior quarterback J’Kori Jones enjoyed one of his best games of the season at quarterback against Shiloh. Jones finished Thursday night’s game 10-for-12 passing with 155 yards.

But Grayson also showed just how deep the team is by sending out junior quarterback C.J. Dixon for several series against Shiloh. The 6-foot-5, 210-pound junior isn’t normally Grayson’s starting QB, but he already has offers from a handful of SEC schools — Georgia, Alabama and Florida — in addition to Clemson and Ohio State, according to 247Sports.

Dixon completed three of his six pass attempts for 49 yards and showed off his strong arm on a 34-yard completion to Ryan King in the first half.

Parkview power The Panthers are the last remaining undefeated team in Gwinnett after beating Lakeside 59-0 to improve to 6-0.

The Panthers’ win was the

second consecutive shutout for Parkview.

Six consecutive wins is the best start to a season for the Panthers under head coach Eric Godfree. The previous best start of a Godfreecoached Parkview team was 3-0 in 2015, when the Panthers finished 6-5 overall and lost in the first round of the state playoffs.

Perennial programs like Parkview have annals of tremendous team feats, however, and this season still has a ways to go before going down as one of the best in Parkview football history.

The 6-0 start is Parkview’s best since the last of three consecutive 15-0 seasons from 2000-2002 under former head coach Cecil Flowe, Parkview all-time winningest head coach. The Panthers also started 14-0 in 1995 before a loss to Southwest-DeKalb in the state finals. Parkview’s immaculate run was also prefaced by an 8-0 start to the 1999 season when the Panthers lost to Brunswick in the quarterfinals.

Clash ARCHER AT GRAYSON

ship between Archer, Grayson and Dacula in 2014.

Both teams could be looking forward to the kind of defensive matchup familiar to spectators in the 2018 edition of Archer and Grayson showdown Thursday night at Grayson High School.

“I think when you look at both teams, we’re both very solid defensively,” Archer coach Andy Dyer said. “There’s just so much speed on the field, it’s hard to get big plays.

It’s hard to create those. It’s going to be a four-quarter battle for sure.”

Archer has conceded the fewest points in Region 8 (76) through six games. The Tigers have shut out two opponents this season and have won the previous five games since starting the season with a 21-19 loss to Milton in the Corky Kell Classic. That defensive strength starts up front with defensive linemen Colby Wooden (two tackles for loss against Newton), Jalen Mayala (three TFLs) and Solomon Zubairu (two TFLs) and extends into the secondary with the athletic Clemson commit Andrew Booth, who also makes his presence felt on special teams as a punt and kick returner (81-yard punt return TD, 54-yard kickoff return against Newton).

Grayson’s strength is its defense.

The Rams have allowed 19.33 points per game against two top-10 opponents and one top-ranked team from New Jersey. That average is higher than in recent seasons, and is on pace to be the highest since the Rams finished 4-6 in 2013. Still, the defense has managed to keep the Rams within striking distance of No. 1 Colquitt County until late in the fourth quarter. It’s also helped the Rams hold on to a 21-15 win over Westlake.

Archer, however, is not built solely on the brawn of its defense.

The Tigers are scoring nearly 40 points per game this season. Against Newton, Archer racked up 311 yards of total offense. Carter Peevy has provided a consistent producer

under center with 14 completions on 20 pass attempts for 137 yards against Newton. He also rushed for a touchdown on Thursday night.

Grayson’s offense has been more hot-and-cold than Archer’s. The Rams miss the potential production from running back Ronald Thompkins, who was lost for the season with a knee injury after the Rams’ first game of the season against Tucker. But the Rams are still twodeep at running back without him.

Jonathan Halyard and Phil Mafah combined for 127 yards on 18 carries against Shiloh. Grayson has physical receivers, such as 6-foot-5 Texas A&M commit Kenyon Jackson and 6-foot-4 junior Ryan King.

The Rams are coming off of what is perhaps their best offensive performance of the season against Shiloh. Seven different players scored TDs in the 59-3 win against Shiloh on Thursday night, including offensive lineman Wanya Morris. “(Beating Shiloh) gains us momentum,” Morris said. “It puts guys in the right mindset. I feel like we needed that because we came off a loss. It shouldn’t have been a loss, we just have to execute and I feel like we did that better (against Shiloh).”

Dyer said Grayson has the firepower to make explosive offensive plays.

“Personnel-wise, they’ve got kids that can make big plays,” he said.

“We’ve got to do a great job of tackling, No. 1, and not letting them out of the gate.”

There isn’t anyone more excited to start the season than Pyle.

“I’m at the point where I can look at things way differently that a lot of younger coaches can,” Pyle said. “To me, it’s no holds barred, guns blazing.

“The atmosphere, the excitement, I feed off of it.

It’s been a blast for me, but it’s really a good group.

I think it’s going to grow cohesively. There’s a lot of talent, there’s a lot of skill and I’m going to let them open up.”

His enthusiasm is contagious.

“It’s completely different from last year, in a good way,” Danford said.

“It’s just a lot of fun. It makes everybody want to come to the rink and there’s really not much more you can ask for.

“Leading up to coming here, I’d spoken to him a couple of times over the phone and you could just tell by his tone of voice how excited he was for this season. Guys want to be here and work for him.

It’s kind of a trickle-down effect.”

The Gladiators open their 16th season on the

road in Orlando on Saturday then really dig in with three games in as many days the following weekend.

“This week is going to be huge, not playing until Saturday,” Nesbitt said.

“This is going to be a big week to put what’s been started already together.

“We’ve got a group that can skate, for sure, from the back end all the way up. I think once we get a little better with pucks going north right off the hop, that’s going to make a big difference.”

Atlanta, which snapped a skid of four straight playoff misses in 2017-18, debuts at home Oct. 19 (vs. Greenville) and Oct. 20 (vs. Orlando) before heading to South Carolina.

It’s the beginning of a huge portion of the schedule played against division opponents. The only teams outside the South Division on the slate are Kansas City, Newfoundland and Rapid City.

“I love the challenge of this division,” Pyle said.

“We’re not backing down from anyone. There’s no reason to. I can’t wait.

“This is a smart team as far as puck movement if I can get them to buy into what I do and how I do it.

There will be some growing pains because we’re pretty young, but these kids nowadays, there’s no fear. They want challenges.”

Sen. Susan Collins’ finest hour In a speech announcing her vote to confirm Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court, Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) reminded me of some of the great orators of the past. Her speech was measured in tone, substantive in content and delivered with conviction.

Collins is no conservative. She has voted in favor of abortion and same-sex marriage while towing a more moderate line on economics. Her speech supporting Kavanaugh and denouncing the smears against him and the distortion of his judicial record was as good as any delivered by her more conservative colleagues.

She correctly labeled the process Cal that has become Thomas corrupt, nasty and divisive: “We have come to the conclusion of a confirmation process that has become so dysfunctional it looks more like a caricature of a gutter-level political campaign than a solemn occasion.”

Collins chastised activists who sent out fundraising letters opposing President Trump’s nominee even before Kavanaugh was announced: “…we have seen specialinterest groups whip their followers into a frenzy by spreading misrepresentations and outright falsehoods…”

She didn’t mention the major media’s complicity in helping those groups to publicize the falsehoods with virtually no corrections to their outlandish claims.

Noting “Our Supreme Court confirmation process has been in steady decline for more than 30 years,” she added this wish: “One can only hope that the Kavanaugh nomination is where the process has finally hit rock bottom.”

Given the level of virulent hatred by the left, I wouldn’t bet on it.

After saying she has been assured by Kavanaugh of his respect for precedent — by which she meant fealty to Roe v. Wade and the Affordable Care Act — she said that Kavanaugh was not a sure vote for policies of the Trump administration. She pointed out that other justices nominated by Republican presidents have voted in ways that went against their wishes, United States vs. Nixon being one of the more significant ones.

There was a glimmer of hope in Collins’ speech for those who believe Roe was wrongly decided. She said, “There are, of course, rare and extraordinary times where the Supreme Court would rightly overturn a precedent.”

In what might be one of those “carved in stone” quotes, Collins delivered her most profound line: “We must always remember that it is when passions are most inflamed that fairness is most in jeopardy.”

Fairness was not just in jeopardy; it was murdered. Democrats and activists promoted inaccurate and unfair stories and treated as truth the testimony of Dr. Christine Blasey Ford that Kavanaugh sexually assaulted her. They did the same with others who claimed, without evidence, that Kavanaugh participated in, or was present at, alleged gang rapes fueled by drugs and alcohol.

About that Collins said, “This outlandish allegation was put forth without any credible supporting evidence and simply parroted public statements of others. That such an allegation can find its way into the Supreme Court confirmation process is a stark reminder about why the presumption of innocence is so ingrained in our American consciousness.”

In this instance, the presumption of guilt was the rule. Though there were no corroborating witnesses and Ford, herself, could not remember significant details about the evening, virtually all Senate Democrats and many Americans appeared ready to lynch Kavanaugh, causing harm to his reputation, character and grief to his family and friends, including many women who issued statements about his honor and fitness for the court.

Nearing the end of her speech, Collins said of the process surrounding the Kavanaugh nomination: “It is a case of people bearing ill will towards those who disagree with them. In our intense focus on our differences, we have forgotten the common values that bind us together as Americans.”

Unfortunately, a younger generation of Americans knows little about those values.

They seem to be rarely taught in public schools and universities. That is why they are slipping away. Young people would do well to be reminded of them by reading Sen. Collins’ speech.

Great Days of Service needs your help Behind every Gwinnett Great Days of Service, there is a vast network of volunteers, supporters, and agencies that are key to launching the nation’s largest two-day volunteer event right here in Gwinnett. This event is perfect for volunteers who have high energy to serve, agencies that need a helping hand to finish a necessary project, and/or businesses that are sharing civic responsibility among their workforce while gaining exposure to thousands of potential customers.

On Oct. 19-20, about 500 community projects will be completed, including sprucing up community gardens, filling the shelves of food pantries, reviving tired spaces, and environmental cleanup and pick-ups just to name a few opportunities. Each year, we increase volunteers, partner with more supporters, and encourage participation to make a difference in your community. We need

Ellen Gerstein everyone’s help to make this year’s event surpass our past excellent efforts.

Last year, more than 52,000 volunteers tackled the many needs of our community, including homelessness to food scarcity to visiting our seniors, providing “Blessing Bags” to veterans and those in need of a helping hand.

This year we hope to reach even more needs in Gwinnett, increasing our efforts to include veterans, seniors, children, special needs, and many more. If you are looking for a cause, we need you as a volunteer or agency to partner with

us and achieve success through volunteering. Your involvement in the Gwinnett Great Days of Services helps agencies and schools address thousands of people in need.

This annual event was created 19 years ago in the spirit of Gwinnett’s slogan, “Success Lives Here.” The Gwinnett Great Days of Service is designed to gain community awareness for the Gwinnett Coalition for Health and Human Services, a nonprofit agency and more than 800+ health and human service agencies and organizations, the Coalition represents and supports.

The Gwinnett Great Days of Service Steering Committee works with these agencies to define, address and help support specific needs in the county that are being overlooked, working together to complete defined service projects as a community, while educating citizens and community leaders about

the needs around them and actively engaging them to serve those in need.

This year, we will again be partnering with our platinum sponsor, Gwinnett United Way, and several other partners to place our largest volunteer event in the nation back on the map.

There are many ways to get involved and work together as a community, and we want to include you.

For more information, please contact Suzy Bus at 770-995-3339 or email her at suzy@gwinnettcoalition. org. We are always interested in identifying new sponsors, please contact us ASAP if you are interested.

For more info on this year’s event, please visit www. gwinnettgreatdaysofservice. org/.

Younger generation failing at U.S. Citizenship “If younger generations don’t know why and how America is such a great nation, we are doomed!”

“Ah, you speak of the recent Woodrow Wilson National Fellowship Foundation survey that finds only one in three Americans can pass the U.S. Citizenship Test.”

“You got that right. Twothirds of Americans failed the 10-multiple-choice-question test even though they only needed six correct answers to pass.”

“That is troubling. The foundation says, ‘Only 13 percent of those surveyed knew when the U.S. Constitution was ratified.’ It says: ‘More than half of respondents (60 percent) didn’t know which countries the United States fought in World War II. And despite the recent media spotlight on the U.S. Supreme Court, 57 percent of those surveyed did not know how many Justices actually serve on the nation’s highest court.’”

“What are these people being taught in high school and col-

Tom Purcell lege?”

“A better question is what are they NOT being taught? As the foundation notes, ‘It would be an error to view these findings as merely an embarrassment.

Knowledge of the history of our country is fundamental to maintaining a democratic society, which is imperiled today.’”

“Just for the heck of it, I took the test. The questions aren’t so difficult. How can so many Americans not answer at least six correctly?”

“The foundation reports that 72 percent of respondents weren’t sure about or misidentified the 13 original states, and just 24 percent ‘could correctly identify one thing Benjamin

letters to the editor

Franklin was famous for, with 37 percent believing he invented the lightbulb’” — the same percentage who ‘knew the correct answer as to why the colonists fought the British.’”

“Yeah, and I’m especially worried about the 2 percent who thought climate change was the cause of the Cold War!” “The survey also found that younger generations are especially ignorant of the American system. Americans age 65 or older ‘scored the best, with 74 percent answering at least six in 10 questions correctly.’ But only 19 percent of those under 45 passed, ‘with 81 percent scoring a 59 percent or lower.’”

“That means older generations, who understand the importance of checks and balances to restrict each government branch’s power — and the triumph of our free-market system over socialism and communism — will eventually give way to younger generations who don’t understand these basic concepts.”

“Yes, that’s our greatest

worry. Per Chicago Tribune columnist Steve Chapman, the University of Chicago’s GenForward Survey of Americans age 18 to 34 finds that 62 percent of them think ‘we need a strong government to handle today’s complex economic problems,’ but only 35 percent say ‘the free market can handle these problems without government being involved.’ What’s worse: 61 percent of millennial Democrats — and 25 percent of millennial Republicans — have a positive view of socialism.”

“As I said, we’re doomed!”

“Not if we heed the words of President Abraham Lincoln: ‘America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves.’ We have our work cut out for us, but we must teach the young why and how America became so great.”
