GCPS names finalists for 2018-19 Teacher of the Year

Gwinnett County Public Schools announced its six finalists for the district teacher of the year Thursday.

The finalists for the 2018-19 honor are Juah Nyemadé BakerMarsh of Lovin Elementary

When the Georgia Manufacturing Summit was first held four years ago, the event drew crowds by the hundreds, but Georgia Manufacturing Alliance CEO Jason Moss said the turnout wasn’t like it is now.

About 250 people attended the firstsummit, which is staged by the Lawrenceville-based statewide alliance. Two years later, the attendance was up to more than 600 people.

Moss said the fourth annual summit, which was held Wednesday at the Cobb Galleria, drew a crowd of more than 850 people. That growth is one of the reasons why the alliance’s leader beamed as he relaxed in a chair outside the galleria’s meeting rooms and reflected on his thoughts about this year’s event.

“It’s been fantastic,” Moss said. “We have exceeded all expectations … It’s pretty cool. We’ve got some traction.

We’re expecting we’ll do well over 1,000 next year.”

This year’s summit had something of an aviation focus with two main speakers, Gulfstream President Mark Burns and Thrush Aircraft Vice President Eric See MANUFACTURING, Page 8A

“As a board, we haven’t really coalesced (around a redevelopment plan yet).”

The OFS site has been eyed for various projects over the years, including a movie campus and a casino, but those plans didn’t pan out. County officials have not ruled out the possibility of putting a multi-modal transit hub on the site since the Connect Gwinnett Transit Development Plan calls for such a hub to be built on the Jimmy Carter corridor.

Implementation of the transit plan doesn’t require passage of the county’s upcoming MARTA referendum in March 2019, but the hub is intended to include a heavy rail line that would connect to MARTA’s Doraville station. MARTA has also agreed to implement Gwinnett’s transit plan if the referendum passes.

from the financial aspect and the mortality and morbidity aspect is surmountDemir ing,” Baykal Baykal said. “The number one topic in the World Economic Forum is what to do about heart failure. Because this is an economic and social public health burden, anything proven to reduce the cost of heart failure is something any hospital should adopt.”

The CardioMEMS device helps reduce those costs simply by reducing the number of hospitalizations and a patient’s length of stay in the hospital.

“To measure the func-

tion and status of the heart by (using) conventional methods is difficult,” Baykal said. “But the CardioMEMS device is put into the artery of the lung and it is a continuous pressure measurement that is transmitted from within the body to sensors. It allows us to monitor the patient with objective data.”

That data allows doctors to change a patient’s treatment plan or alter medications before the patients’ condition deteriorates to the point of requiring hospitalization, Baykal said.

“Because of the transition of the data to the sensor through WiFi, (you can access) this data as often as you want,” Baykal said.

“Typically (doctors) will do once a month, though, and that way we can see if

there are (overall) changes.

We rely more on pressure changes than absolute readings.”

Baykal said after the device is implanted, doctors take the first readings, which serve as baseline numbers for future, monthly readings.

“We then see how much (the pressure) has deviated from what we have (determined) as the baseline,” Baykal said. “If you see an increase in the pressure in the arteries of the lung, you know (the pressure) in the heart is higher and the patient needs more medicine.”

While high blood pressure is a known risk factor for heart attacks, it also puts a strain on the heart, causing the muscle to weaken and work less ef-

ficiently.

Heart failure patients already have weakened hearts, so any additional strain can cause further detriment, which can cause advanced stages of heart failure. “(With this device), the first thing is, we’re hoping to prevent (patients) from getting admitted back to the hospital, because we know that recurrent or frequent hospitalizations are associated with increased mortality and diminished longevity,” Baykal said.

“But our primary target is to reduce the number of hospitalizations in (the first place).”

General Assembly and was a partner at the law firm of Andersen, Davidson Billy and Tate, Ray P.C. U.S. Sens. Johnny Isakson and David Perdue, both R-Ga., praised Ray’s confirmation in a joint

statement Thursday.

“Judge Billy Ray has an outstanding record of service to Georgia in our state Legislature and on the bench and a history of getting things done,” Isakson said. “Judge Ray created Heidi’s Law in Georgia to tighten penalties in repeat DUI cases, and he created the drug court in Gwinnett County.

“I’m pleased the Senate

confirmed Judge Ray and look forward to his continued service.”

Perdue said, “I’m confident Judge Ray will continue to serve with integrity in this new role, just as he did during his combined 16 years on the Court of Appeals of Georgia and Superior Court in Gwinnett County. President Trump has selected an exceptional Georgian to fill this seat

on the federal bench, and I congratulate Judge Ray on his confirmation.”

Ray will not be the only person from Gwinnett dealing with criminal justice at the federal level in Georgia. Lilburn resident and former state representative BJay Pak was appointed last year to serve as the U.S. attorney for the Northern District of Georgia.

the Red Clay Theatre.

“Also, we have a very thriving event and wedding business so (the hotel would be) responsible for 100 and something hotel rooms during the wedding season.”

The city had owned the property since 2000, but transferred ownership to the city’s Downtown Development Authority on June 19. The DDA then sold the site to SH Duluth for $250,000 on June 29, according to DDA records.

SH Duluth is a limited liability corporation that was set up by Augustabased commercial development and real estate brokerage firm Southeastern in December to handle the development.

As part of the deal worked out between the city and Southeastern, the developer will build the parking deck as part of the hotel and then sell the public portion of the deck to the city, McGahee said. How much the city will pay for the deck depends on when the lower portion of it is ready to be used by the public, he said.

The 2019 Duluth Fall Festival will serve as the benchmark for that por-

tion of the deck. “(The deal is), ‘If you present that to us so that Fall Festival can use that portion of the parking by Fall Festival, we will pay you $2.5 million. Then, when you complete the project, we will pay you an additional amount of money totaling $4 million,’” McGahee said.

“So we’re going to be paying (a total of up to ) $4 million for the parking deck.”

If the developer does not have the lower portion of the parking deck finished in time for the Duluth Fall Festival, the amount the city pays for that part of the deck drops to $2 million, according to McGahee.

The development permit application states the hotel will have 331 spaces, but McGahee said it is actually expected to have 344 spaces.

The city will own 180 to 182 parking spaces on the lower level of the deck and 44 spaces on the second level.

“The remainder of the spaces will be reserved for the hotel, so if you’re a hotel guest, you will be assured that you have a place to park,” McGahee said.

Effect of cannabis on car accidents DEAR DR. ROACH: In a recent column, you mentioned that “Cannabis adversely affects driving ability.” Yet, further on in the article, you state that, “Early data from areas that legalized recreational marijuana suggest reduced rates of motor vehicle accidents.”

These two statements seem to contradict each other. I believe I’ve read several articles that state the vehicular accident rate in Colorado has risen since the legalization of marijuana there.

I think it would be beneficial to know which is more indicative of the true effects of marijuana on a person’s driving ability.

I realize that not all the information and research is complete on the use of the drug, especially in its multiple forms.

Full disclosure: I am against legalizing the drug but have no problem with its controlled use for medicinal purposes.

However, you know as well as I do that many health prescribers and users abuse the drug for medicinal purposes. I’m simply against the use of ANY drug that can impair a person’s ability to drive!

— Anon.

ANSWER: I see the apparent contradiction, and hope I can explain it.

The answer is that while, as you say, it’s certainly best not to drive on any substance, it appears that states with legalized cannabis use have less unsafe alcohol use. The collision data is more complex than I had space to discuss. While collisions have increased by about 3 percent, fatalities have gone down by about 10 percent. These results are particularly strong in younger age groups.

I certainly agree that use of any performanceaffecting drug before driving is a very bad idea.

However, alcohol appears to be much more dangerous, so the net effect is less mortality with respect to traffic accidents.

Finally, any drug, prescription, over-the-counter or recreational, can be abused. I think the data are clear that cannabis has legitimate medical uses, and that recreational use of cannabis may reduce overall morbidity and mortality, if users are using less alcohol, which is responsible for far more deaths than cannabis is.

There is a great deal of uncontrolled cannabis use, both recreationally and to treat symptoms. More control and more data both are good ideas.

Dr. Roach regrets that he is unable to answer individual letters, but will incorporate them in the column whenever possible. Readers may email questions to ToYourGoodHealth@med.cornell. edu or send mail to 628 Virginia Dr., Orlando, FL 32803.

Dear Amy: My parents have taken in my 95-year-old grandfather.

Money is not a problem, so he could have gone into a nursing home or into assisted living. My grandfather has six other kids, and no one else wanted him to live with them.

I feel as if I have lost my parents until my grandfather passes. I’ll invite them to come to their grandchild’s “grandparent day” at school, and it’s, “No, we can’t leave Dad alone,” or, “Oh, we can’t make it to the twins’ birthday party, because we can’t leave Dad.” I live almost two hours away, and my grandfather won’t go anyplace other than the doctor or church.

No other family member is available or trustworthy enough to watch him.

Amy, this could go on for years!

I was never close to him. He is difficult to get along with and could not tell you one thing about me as a child, because he (and my grandmother, who died years ago) didn’t take an interest in most of their grandchildren. Fortunately, my other grandparents were total rock stars, so I was not deprived.

Grandfather comes before kids Ask Amy

— Worried Sister Dear Worried Sister: Rather than focusing too intensively on your sister’s dating problems, you should encourage her to work on some social and friendship skills, in order for her to become more self-actualized. Professional counseling or coaching will help. When she feels better and more in control, she’ll have an easier time coping with her meeting and dating challenges.

And dating is a challenge for everyone. Your sister will need both confidence and patience.

Dear Amy: “The Invisible Wife” was lonely because her husband concentrated more on his laptop and his phone than on her.

I was at a restaurant the other night and the next table had a party of four (a family) who did not exchange one word with each other, as they stared at their phones the entire time.

— Discouraged Dear Discouraged: Our addiction to technology is affecting relationships. We all need to be more intentional.

You can contact Amy Dickinson via email: askamy@amydickinson. com. Readers may send postal mail to Ask Amy, P.O. Box 194, Freeville, NY 13068. You can also follow her on Twitter @ askingamy or “like” her on Facebook.

world U.S. Intercepts: Saudis talked about plan to lure journalist

The U.S. has intercepts of Saudi officials discussing a plan to lure journalist Jamal Khashoggi back to Saudi Arabia and detain him, according to a U.S. official familiar with the intelligence.

Khashoggi, a prominent Saudi journalist and critic of the regime, has been missing for more than a week after going to the Saudi consulate general in Istanbul to obtain wedding papers.

Turkish officials privately believe he was killed at the consulate, an allegation denied by Saudi Arabia.

The official said it is unclear if the original plan was to murder Khashoggi or if something went wrong at the consulate and that he might have been killed during an attempt to kidnap him. Getting Khashoggi to the consulate appears to have been a backup plan, the source said, because he couldn’t be persuaded to fly back to Saudi Arabia.

The official said there is no hard evidence as to whether Khashoggi, a columnist for the Washington Post, is dead or alive.

world&nation Michael kills 6, leaves cities in ruins

By Holly Yan, Christina Maxouris and Emanuella Grinberg CNN

Hurricane Michael has claimed a life in North Carolina, bringing the total death toll from the storm to six.

The deaths illustrate the ripples of Michael’s devastation beyond the Florida Panhandle, where Michael left more than 350,000 without power and entire neighborhoods in ruins.

Michael made landfall Wednesday as a Category 4 hurricane near Mexico Beach, Fla., on the Gulf Coast. What used to be a gorgeous beachfront city now looks like an apocalyptic mess.

“Mexico Beach was wiped out,” said Brock Long, head of the Federal Emergency Management Agency.

“That’s probably ground zero.”

Key developments • First death reported in North Carolina: A 38-yearold man died when a large tree fell on his vehicle on Highway 64, east of Statesville on Thursday.

• Five people have died in Florida: Fatalities include a child in Seminole County and a man in Gadsen County who died after a tree fell on a home near Greensboro.

• Farmers get pummeled: At least 53 poultry houses were destroyed in Georgia, where agriculture is

the top industry, the state’s Department of Agriculture said. Many crops, such as vegetables and cotton, may also be affected.

• Interstate 10 is closed: All lanes of I-10 between mile marker 85 to mile marker 166 in Florida are closed due to debris, Florida authorities said Thursday.

• No power, no internet: More than 486,000 customers don’t have electricity in Florida, Alabama, Georgia and the Carolinas.

• Where is Michael? As of Thursday morning, the storm was centered about 40 miles west-northwest of Columbia, South Carolina, and is headed northeast.

‘Our lives are gone here’ Catastrophic scenes have emerged across the Florida Panhandle.

“First the cars started floating by, and all the debris was in the air,” Mexico Beach resident Scott said.

“When the water came in, houses started floating in front of our home.”

He spoke with CNN’s Brooke Baldwin live on air Thursday, in front of a home that was pushed onto its side.

When Scott got back to his own house, he discovered “we had furniture in our house that wasn’t our furniture. The surge had brought stuff in so bad, the walls collapsed — the only thing I could find of ours was my briefcase.”

As he looked around, a new reality set in: “Our lives are gone here.

All the stores, all the restaurants, everything. There’s

nothing left here anymore.”

In the decimated city of Callaway, obliterated houses litter rain-drenched roads.

Every telephone pole in sight is snapped in half.

“It’s very hard to explain,” said Jason Gunderson, a member of the Cajun Navy rescue group. “The only way I can explain it, through my eyeballs, is a Third World country war zone.”

As rescue workers sift through the debris Thursday, many fear the death toll will rise.

After slamming Florida and lashing Georgia, Michael on Thursday threatened the storm-weary Carolinas. Tornadoes, dangerous winds and more flooding are possible in many of the same areas still recovering from Hurricane Florence.

people Judge dismisses one count in Weinstein’s criminal case

A New York judge dismissed Count 6 of Harvey Weinstein’s criminal indictment Thursday, which was a criminal sexual act in the first degree.

The count stems from charges brought forth against the disgraced movie producer in May and July by the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office.

A source familiar with the investigation told CNN at the time that the criminal sex act charge was from a case involving aspiring actress Lucia Evans, who alleged Weinstein forced her to perform oral sex on him in his Tribeca office in 2004. She first spoke out about the alleged incident to Ronan Farrow in the New Yorker last fall.

Weinstein had previously pleaded not guilty to the six sex crimes he has been charged with in New York, including two counts of rape.

Rare baby Diplodocus fossil, smallest ever found, full of surprises

By Ashley Strickland CNN

Andrew, a baby dinosaur fossil, has quite a story to tell.

Sadly, there isn’t much of him left now, considering he lived during the Jurassic Period. His skull was found in the Upper Jurassic Morrison Formation in Montana, where other dinosaur fossils have been recovered.

A study of the skull, which is just over 9 inches long, was

Must read published Thursday in the journal Scientific Reports.

“This skull is the smallest Diplodocus skull ever found,” said Cary Woodruff, study author and director of paleontology at the Great Plains Dinosaur Museum in Montana. “It’s not just its size that’s important; its overall proportions, and especially the teeth, help us to better understand how

Diplodocus grew up.”

By observing the skull of the young Diplodocus, which is a long-necked sauropod like Brontosaurus, the team discovered that baby dinosaurs were a lot different than their parents — not merely smaller versions of them.

Diplodocus skulls are rare, and it’s even more rare to find one belonging to a young one.

The overall proportions and bone shapes suggest that the skull of Diplodocus underwent a lot of

shape change through growth into adulthood, Woodruff said.

Though the adults are known for the peg-like teeth at the front of their mouths, Andrew had those as well as spatulate teeth at the back of his mouth.

“We think this combination of tooth forms indicates that young Diplodocus were feeding on a wider variety of plant types,” Woodruff said. “Which makes sense. These young dinosaurs are growing super fast, so a young

Diplodocus could quite literally eat ‘all of its veggies’ to fuel its rapid growth rate.”

Spatulate teeth can handle coarse vegetation and bulk feeding, rather than the soft foliage and grazing that are suited for peg-like teeth.

Andrew had a short narrow snout, whereas his parents had wide, square snouts. His snout was suited to forests, but his parents would be grazing the ground in open areas.

Norcross proclaimed New Youth Restoring as a Purple Heart City Pill Helps You Grow Biologically Younger

Based on groundbreaking research from UC Davis, anti-aging pioneer creates the world’s first lifeextension pill that boosts the energy center of cells

By Ray Wilson Associated Health Press AHP − Researchers at the University of California, Davis, have discovered a new compound that has the amazing ability to reverse the aging process in cells, extending lifespan and restoring health.

The compound was immediately formulated into an all-natural pill which adults and seniors, from all over the country, are now taking every day.

Sold under the brand name Ultra Accel II, the new once-daily pill can significantly improve many of the ailments associated with aging including memory and recall, heart and lung function, poor immunity, and low energy levels.

According to the pill’s developers, it may also increase the average lifespan to 146 years old, shattering the current U.S. average of 78.

THE BIGGEST

Research shows the pill works by triggering the growth of new mitochondria in the body’s most important organs, a phenomenon known as mitochondrial biogenesis.

Scientists long believed this was impossible to experience after a certain age. But the new research proves that it can now be achieved at any age with Ultra Accel II.

When organs lack the cellular energy they require to work at a 100% efficiency, your health deteriorates and you age faster.

This is why mitochondria dysfunction are the root of many problems associated with growing older. Low energy, fatigue, muscle weakness, memory loss, poor immunity, skin aging, and blood sugar problems, are often the result of an energy crisis in your cells.

But now, for the first time ever, there’s a fix for the estimated 50 million adults and seniors who suffer — often unknowingly — from these ailments.

“With daily use, Ultra Accel II helps users feel more energetic and vital. Many also notice significant improvements in brain, heart, and lung function too,” explains Dr. Al Sears, creator of the Ultra Accel II pill.

Science of Age Reversal Two key ingredients make up the Ultra Accel II softgel. The first is a patented form of PQQ called BioPQQ. The second is Ubiquinol, the most effective form of CoQ10.

Research shows that as we get older the number of mitochondria in our cells declines sharply. In fact, by age 67 nearly 80% of the mitochondria we had at 25 have died.

This dramatic decline can trigger many serious health problems including heart failure, memory loss and relentless fatigue. It can also cause the skin to look older and accelerate the overall aging process.

The BioPQQ in Ultra Accel II is one of the only known compounds to actually multiply the number of mitochondria in your cells! And just like a power cord, the Unbiquinol has the amazing ability to energize these new, youthful mitochondria so that they are fully charged.

Patients Hail Improvements in Health and a Deceleration in Aging The initial feedback from patients using Ultra Accel II has been strong.

Many say they have never felt better.

“I’m a 70-year-old man and I’ve been taking Accel for 2 1/2 months. On a recent treadmill stress test, I was told that I did as well as several patients tested who were in their 20s,” raves one user.

Adds another: “I noticed a difference within a few days. My endurance almost doubled. But it’s not just in your body. You can feel it mentally too,”

Changing the Way We Age

The result is an enormous spike in cellular energy that literally reverses your biological clock. In laymen terms, you grow younger.”

With daily use, it can help you look and feel decades younger and sidestep the illnesses that accompany aging and can make life hard.

The University Study That Started the Anti-Aging Movement

You can now regain boundless energy, new vigor and physical capabilities you enjoyed in your youth.

Dr. Sears’ inspiration for Ultra Accel II came after reviewing the new study published by researchers at UC Davis. These researchers discovered that when mice were fed the natural compound called PQQ the number of mitochondria in their cells multiplied.

Where to Find Ultra Accel II

570545-1

In eight weeks they saw a staggering 55% increase in young, youthful mitochondria. Even more remarkable was the fact that the mice with the strongest mitochondria showed no signs of aging even when they were the equivalent to 80 years old.

“After reading the study on PQQ, I immediately called my manufacturer.

He explained to me PQQ was incredibly hard to source but after a few months I finally got my hands on some and

“I was the first to try it. After the first dose I felt an immediate boost in energy. With daily use I noticed my endurance, memory, vision and even the appearance of my skin and hair improved. It was truly amazing.”

Ultra Accel II is an exciting new antiaging pill that’s now helped thousands of people reclaim their energy, vitality, and youth regardless of their age or health status.

“And that’s because Ultra Accel II multiplies the number of youthful mitochondria in every cell of your body in every important organ and tissue.

GOOD THRU

In the most energy-demanding organs, like the brain and heart, there can be as many as 2,000 mitochondria per cell. And according to a landslide of clinical data, the health of these mitochondria determines our level of health and how long we live.

Tale of Swift, West is not a ‘Love Story’ WASHINGTON — When the big political news of the week involves Taylor Swift and Kanye West, we’re in serious trouble. I’m trying to “Shake It Off,” but I can’t.

I don’t mean to sound “Heartless,” but we shouldn’t have to pay the slightest attention to what those pop-music megastars think about the midterm election and President Trump. We do pay attention, though.

The celebrification of our politics is complete, heaven help us, and we can only hope this doesn’t mark the “End Game” of American society.

Eugene We have created a Robinson “Monster” and it is devouring us.

Swift, who is registered to vote in Tennessee, posted a lengthy caption on Instagram late Sunday in which she excoriated GOP Senate candidate Marsha Blackburn — “her voting record in Congress appalls and terrifies me” — and announced support for Democratic hopeful Phil Bredesen.

“In the past I’ve been reluctant to publicly voice my political opinions, but due to several events in my life and in the world in the past two years, I feel very differently about that now,” Swift wrote. “I always have and always will cast my vote based on which candidate will protect and fight for the human rights I believe we all deserve in this country.”

Swift went on to affirm her belief “in the fight for LGBTQ rights” and to declare that “the systemic racism we still see in this country towards people of color is terrifying, sickening and prevalent.” She sounded almost “Breathless” as she urged everyone to “please, please educate yourself on the candidates running in your state and vote.”

Who cares? It’s not yet clear. But if any substantial fraction of Swift’s 112 million Instagram followers does care — yes, I said 112 million — and acts on her advice, we could see a real impact on Nov. 6. Swift’s audience is young; I don’t have any data, but I wouldn’t be surprised if their average age were roughly “22.”

Young people tend to support Democrats but tend not to vote much at all in non-presidential election years. If Swift’s intervention moves the needle even slightly on young voter participation, that could make a big difference in tight races.

Many on the right apparently had believed, based on no evidence either way, that Swift was in their corner. Clearly, they were wrong. Her message to the Republican Party seems to be that “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together.”

Since Trump’s ascension has made us all cast members in a tiresome reality-television show, it is inevitable that the yin to Swift’s yang would come from West. The two were forever linked in a bizarre unscripted moment at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards. Swift was accepting her prize for Best Female Video when West suddenly bounded onstage, grabbed the microphone and uttered the immortal line: “Yo Taylor, I’m really happy for you, I’ma let you finish, but Beyonce had one of the best videos of all time.”

“I’ma let you finish” became a meme, then a cliche. Thursday, before having lunch with Trump at the White House, West came up with a new one: “Trump is on his hero’s journey right now.”

West has always had an exalted view of his own “Power” to shape the culture, and perhaps he sees in Trump a fellow genius in the art of self-promotion. He shocked fans earlier this year by opining that the centuries of American slavery perhaps should be seen as “a choice” made by the slaves. In terms of public image, it seemed like a “Runaway” disaster. But he was just getting started.

Since then, he has been increasingly vocal about his admiration for Trump. Last month, after appearing on “Saturday Night Live,” West donned a “Make America Great Again” hat and regaled the studio audience with alt-right nonsense. He said he had been “bullied” by the show’s cast and crew for his nonconformist views — a claim “SNL” adamantly denied the following week in a “Weekend Update” segment.

In the Oval Office, he once again wore the MAGA hat. He said it made him “feel like Superman.”

Can West’s support make Trump “Stronger” by convincing African-Americans to vote Republican, or at least dampen enthusiasm for voting Democratic? I seriously doubt it. But isn’t it absurd that we even have to ask the question?

In the age of social media and wall-to-wall cable news, fame matters. In 2016, Trump’s fame overcame such trifles as his ignorance, lack of experience and glaring unfitness for office.

We are better off when celebrities model civic engagement. We are lost, however, if we take them seriously.

Nikki Haley’s comet has a long tale WASHINGTON — Seated next to President Trump in the Oval Office on Tuesday, Nikki Haley did not look like a woman who had tortured herself over whether to resign as U.S. ambassador to the United Nations.

On television at least, she looked like someone who has a much better deal coming her way early next year. She looked like someone who has enjoyed 14 solid years of successful public life, first as a South Carolina state legislator, then as governor and, currently, as a national representative on the international stage. She looked like a woman who, at just 46, sees rainbows and jackpots in her future.

As Haley and Trump announced, she’ll leave the U.N. at the end of this year, but she’s not going anywhere — for long. Haley has long been considered a likely presidential candidate. But not before 2024. In her resignation letter, Haley explicitly said she “surely will not be a candidate for any office in 2020.” Too bad. It would be such a nice round number for the nation’s first female president.

Most likely, Haley is pausing to make some money.

In her statement, she suggested an imminent return to the private sector. She and her husband have accrued considerable debt, according to the Charleston Post & Cou-

it wasn’t easy to be a brownskinned child whose father wore a turban in a place like Bamberg. As U.N. ambassador, she has performed with excellence, sometimes speaking independently rather than parroting Trump’s positions. In so doing, she has earned the respect of men and women across the spectrum, regardless of whether they agree with her often-hawkish positions.

In decades of writing about politics, I’ve run across few with Haley’s innate talents.

She’s a natural with people, whether crouching with children on the ground in Africa — reminiscent of Princess Diana on similar travels — or speaking to leaders in the tense theater of the United Nations. As governor, she led the Legislature to remove the Confederate battle flag from the statehouse grounds, while also guiding South Carolina through the shock and grief of the 2015 church massacre in Charleston.

It won’t serve her presidential aspirations well to stay out of politics for long, as Haley surely knows. Thus, the burning question — what’s next? — has only one certain answer: Whatever she wants.

We are yet to plumb depths of ruthlessness WASHINGTON — President Trump apologized to Justice Brett Kavanaugh and his family for the “terrible pain and suffering” they endured during his confirmation process, declaring that “what happened to the Kavanaugh family violates every notion of fairness, decency and due process.” Democrats seem to be taking the opposite lesson from the Kavanaugh fight. As Politico recently tweeted, “After failing to stop Kavanaugh’s confirmation, Democrats wonder if it’s time to be more ruthless.”

More ruthless? There are a lot of reasons the effort to stop Kavanaugh failed, but a lack of ruthlessness is not one of them. Kavanaugh’s opponents just tried to destroy a man without a shred of corroborating evidence. No tactic, no unfounded accusation, was too extreme. Democrats demanded that the FBI investigate not just Christine Blasey Ford’s uncorroborated accusations, but also the charge in the New Yorker’s hit piece that Kavanaugh had exposed himself to a college classmate, Deborah Ramirez, as well as the scurrilous accusation by Michael Avenatti client Julie Swetnick that Kavanaugh participated in gang rapes at high school parties.

How can you get any more ruthless than unfounded accusations of gang rape?

Democrats did not lose

servative justice replacing a conservative justice, the late Antonin Scalia. His confirmation simply restored the status quo ante. Kavanaugh, by contrast, was replacing Justice Anthony M. Kennedy, the court’s key swing vote. His confirmation could swing the Marc court’s ideological balance for Thiessen a generation, so he had to be destroyed. If they did this to the Kavanaugh fight beKennedy’s replacement, think cause they were not ruthless of what Democrats will do if, enough. They lost because, as at some point in his presidenalways, the left overreached. cy, Trump ends up nominating Their increasingly brazen someone to replace a liberal and unsupported charges Supreme Court justice.

Hillary Clinton won. But the Kavanaugh fiasco may cost Democrats their chance to retake the Senate — and with it the power to block future Trump judicial nominations. If so, it means their search-anddestroy mission against Kavanaugh may end up handing Trump the ability to get even more Supreme Court justices confirmed.

Democrats have also given Republicans reason to look past their frustrations with Trump’s erratic behavior in office. Millions of Republicans put aside their misgivings and voted for Trump in 2016 for one reason: the Supreme Court. Now he has delivered.

It has not escaped notice that he never once backed down in his support for Kavanaugh.

Even at the lowest moments, there were no signs of wavering, no leaks from the White House that the president was quietly looking at potential replacements just in case Kavanaugh’s nomination failed.

At his ceremonial swearing-in Monday, Kavanaugh thanked Trump for his “steadfast, unwavering support.”

He’s right. The president stood firm until the end, and won.

Now it’s time for Democrats to be honest with themselves about why they lost.

Burns said the manufacturing industry has undergone rapid change in the past 15 years because of new technology, an item he later highlighted in his lunchtime keynote address.

He has worked for Savannah-based Gulfstream — an airplane manufacturer that is currently pushing 18,000 employees — for 35 years.

Little changed in the manufacturing process during the first 20 years, Burns

said, but it began to accelerate over the last decade and a half as new manufacturing technology such as 3D printing was introduced.

“It’s the thing that has evolved the most in my 35 years — how airplanes are built,” he said. “Today, the precision with which 3D design, 3D manufacturing design is used today has really changed how we build airplanes. When I started, we built basically by hand

A selection committee comprised of GCPS educators narrowed the field from 25 semifinalists who had been selected from a list of 137 local school teachers of the year.

The committee, which includes former teachers of the year, local school administrators and central office support staff, now has the task of selecting the 2018-19 Teacher of the Year.

As the final element of the judging process, the selection committee will complete classroom observations and conduct interviews with the six finalists. Committee members will look for original teaching methods, study the teacher’s teaching philosophy, review special class projects the teacher has initiated, and consider the influence the teacher has had on the teaching practices of her colleagues. They also will review each teacher’s educational degrees and civic activities.

Based on their findings, committee members will select an elementary, a middle and a high school teacher of the year.

The level winners will be announced during a banquet Nov. 8 at the Infinite Energy Center in Duluth. One of the three level winners will be named Gwinnett’s 2019 Teacher of the Year and will go on to represent GCPS in the Georgia TOTY competition.

Attendees got to hear from Burns and Rojek, but they also got to peruse an expo highlighting companies that manufacture products in Georgia as well as businesses that work with manufacturers and attend educational breakout sessions.

The breakout session topics included disruptive technologies, manufacturing a better bottom line, trends to track in supply chain, workforce development, international manufacturing and sales and marketing secrets.

“It’s funny, in all of the surveys we do, the No. 1 thing our manufacturers tell us they’re interested in is sales and marketing,” Moss said. “They want to sell more stuff.”

Attendees said they appreciated the breakout sessions as well as the information they got from the keynote speeches.

Robert August Taubenheim Robert August Taubenheim passed away on October 9, 2018 in Suwanee, GA at the age of 97. He was born in Sheboygan, Wisconsin on November 18, 1920. He is survived by daughters Ann Taubenheim of Columbia, MD, Jane Keegan of Suwanee, GA, and Mary (Frank) Fisk of Lawrenceville, GA. He is also survived by four grandchildren, Cameron Fisk, Kieran Fisk, Emily Evans, and Nicholas Evans. He was preceded in death by his wife of 68 years, Mary Ellen (Greene) Taubenheim, by his parents, William and Emilie Hinze Taubenheim, and by his ten siblings.

Bob is a veteran of the U.S. Air Force, serving in WWII, and graduated from Marquette University. He worked for J.C. Penney in Milwaukee,

“So far, it’s been really valuable,” said Katherine Peoples and she and fellow ABM Building Solutions employee Fawn Allen checked out booths in the expo at lunch. “We just heard the bottom line session which was very educational. As a vendor, I learned a lot about what (manufacturers) are looking for.”

Mike Fisher, who works out of SCS Engineers’ Duluth office, said he liked the education and networking aspects of the summit.

“I think it’s great,” he said. “The keynote speakers are awesome, very informative and its very interesting about the diversity of the aerospace industry and the role it plays in manufacturing.”

Vendors who had booths at the expo also praised the event.

Duluth-based E2E Benefits Services Inc. President Raymer Sale said he’s been a member of the Georgia Manufacturing Alliance for years, but this was the

first year in which he had a booth at the event. Sale is also a member of the alliance’s Board of Directors and E2E was one of the sponsors for the summit.

Sale said he sees the benefit of being in expos such as the one at the summit but that it takes time to show up.

“It’s one of those things were you don’t know what you’re getting out of it immediately because people you talk with show up months later,” he said. “I’ve not been disappointed with the traffic. I think the traffic has been good.”

Halo Branded Solutions Independent AE George Fergus was also a first time participant at this year’s expo. His company helps with branding for manufacturers, including getting packaging for their products made.

“I like this show,” he said. “I like working with manufacturers. I understand their business model. They are people I can build a business relationship with.”

According to school officials, the search for a new president was a six-month process following the resignation of Col. William Gallagher in May. “It was an interesting process and he wasn’t even a candidate in the process until the very end,” Riverside executive vice president Britt Daniel said. “I could not be more thrilled. He is perfect for this school and I’m excited about where he is going to take us.”

Preczewski has a military background with 26 years of service in the United States Army, in which he achieved the rank of colonel and earned two Legion of Merit awards, four Meritorious Service Medals and the Army Commendation Medal,

The theme, however, was “Manufacturing Success in Georgia,” which flowed back to the topic of growth.

For the last five years, the manufacturing sector in Georgia has grown by 14 percent, according to Moss.

At the same time, the Georgia Manufacturing Alliance has been growing too. Moss said it currently has seven chapters around the state, but is looking at adding additional ones in Rome, Columbus and Albany.

“That (theme) can be played depending on how you emphasize the words,” he said. “Manufacturing success can talk about the success that we’ve had, but also manufacturing more success. That’s sort of the spin on the conversation.

What have we done that’s been successful and those (participating) business and industry leaders are sharing what has worked so that others can follow that path of success.”

The LawrencevilleSuwanee School of Music, a school specializing in music instruction, is taking the stage at the iconic Carnegie Hall in New York City on Saturday.

According to school music director Valencia Giles, the school applied and has been preparing for the trip for the past nine months.

Thirty students and four instructors from the Gwinnett-based musical school are scheduled to perform piano, voice, and guitar pieces from 1 to 3 p.m.

The concert will be

at Five Forks.

Five Forks Middle School principal Christine Douthart said Ross always has the best interests of students at the heart of everything she does.

“She is, without a doubt, a true champion and reminds all of us that our connections with students can make all the difference in the world,” Douthart said.

Other GCPS employees to receive recognition include: GSCA School Counselor of the Year semifinalists • Sherry Ferguson of

Ferguson Elementary School; and • Bobby Gueh of Lanier High School.

Administrator of the Year Award • Christine Douthart, principal of Five Forks Middle School.

Writer of the Year Award • Teshia Dula of Hull Middle School.

Grayson races out to early lead to beat Archer

By Taylor Denman

LOGANVILLE — The last time the Grayson football team faced a ranked opponent at home, Rams head coach Christian Hunnicutt’s tone was different from his tone after a 41-14 win over region rival Archer on Thursday night.

The No. 4-ranked Rams scored 20 unaswered points in the second half to beat No. 5 Archer and avenge a 6-3 loss to the Tigers at Archer High School last year. The win gives Grayson (5-2, 2-0) the inside track to clinching a region championship. Archer (5-2, 1-1) fell behind 21-7 in the first half, and the Rams’ defense held Archer to 69 yards rushing.

Hunnicutt said the Rams’ challenging nonregion schedule — which included perennial football powers from two states — sort of exposed the Rams’ weaknesses. The somber

tone after Grayson’s 26-14 loss at home to Colquitt was replaced with pride as the Rams celebrated beating Archer for the seventh time in program history.

“Our intent when we made our schedule was to have a stress test every week, and we learned a

lot,” Hunnicutt said. “The intent was to expose us as coaches and players and figure out what we needed to work on.”

Grayson’s preparation proved to pay off against Archer. But the Tigers fell behind early in the game, trailing Grayson from the

other special teams units were liabilities at times.

Grayson punted from its own 22-yard line with the game tied 7-7 with 7:29 left in the first half, but a fumbled fair catch recovered by Grayson’s Owen Pappoe gave the Rams prime field position at the Archer 31-yard line.

The drive ended in another blocked field goal, but the Rams won the field position battle when the Tigers attempted to punt from its 12-yard line. A 16-yard pass from Jones to Jackson and a 35-yard strike to Ryan King gave Grayson a 14-0 lead with 3:55 left in the first half.

Archer’s second brutal blunder on special teams Rams’ first offensive play. was on a punt from its 21yard line.

Burrow has completed 89 of 165 passes (53.9 percent) for 1,214 yards, six touchdowns and two interceptions this season, but he has faced heavy pressure.

LSU would need an upset victory to control its destiny in the SEC West.

No. 1 Alabama is in first place with a 6-0 record but will come to Tiger Stadium on Nov. 3.

Georgia is battling several injuries on its defensive line. The Bulldogs may be without David Marshall (left foot) and DaQuan Hawkins-Muckle and Devonte Wyatt, who had unspecified injuries did not practice on Tuesday.

LSU is relatively healthy, and the Tigers will try to pressure Georgia quarterback Jake Fromm, who has performed well at home but has experienced some difficulties on the road.

This will be Georgia’s first trip to Baton Rouge since the 2008 season, when the Bulldogs won a 52-38 shootout. LSU has beaten Georgia in two of the three meetings since then.

The league is funded jointly

by U.S.A. Football, ESPN and the Atlanta Falcons. Gwinnett is the only county with plans for girls flag football, and it is not officially recognized by the state athletics association, the Georgia High School Association. That would require a vote during a legislative session.

For flag football to expand in the state, it is more feasible to start in the densely populated metro-Atlanta counties before it expands, mostly because of travel budgets.

Student interest doesn’t seem to be a problem if other students are as eager as Gwinnett students. The novelty of the game may take a few weeks to wear off. Dacula finished the day with a narrow 6-0 win over Archer, but that didn’t wipe the smile off of quarterback Cherri Kauthen’s face.

“At first I was very nervous, but as soon as we got into the game I felt a lot better, and we gave 100 percent,” she said. “It was awesome.”

Couples Once Too Old and Tired Enjoying Strong Sexual Feelings with Natural Intimacy Pill Powerful new sex aid goes where none has gone before – straight to the brain

SAN FRANCISCO — Here’s a ‘behind closed doors’ trivia question: Do you know the #1 complaint that prevents couples from enjoying a healthy, and fulfilling sex life?

If you guessed erectile dysfunction, you guessed right.

It is estimated that 30 million men, plus their spouses and/or partners are affected by this deflating condition.

Bliss-free Bedroom

Can you guess the next most common complaint that puts the brakes to bliss in the bedroom?

If you guessed loss of sexual desire, in both men and women, you are correct.

These are not easy problems to fix.

For men, doctors may recommend oral drugs or painful, surgical implants.

For women, hormonal therapy may be recommended.

Doug. F. is sold on Noxitril. “I have tried most of these new, natural male enhancements; none of them do what Noxitril does for me.”

“Not only does it work fast, but I can also last for a while. I have recommended to all my friends who have the same problem.”*

Have Fun Again

Noxitril safely restores sexual enjoyment and performance by reinforcing the four pillars of sexual revitalization: boosting testosterone; elevating natural reserves of nitric oxide, or erection fuel; sparking sexual urges and libidinous desires; and energizing sexual energy and vitality.

Ask users if Noxitril works as well as prescription ED drugs, and many may say, “No, it works better!”

Noxitril formulators have fast-tracked results with the addition of an energizing ginseng blend and a proprietary mix of 13 peak-performance, firestarters including muira puma, catauba, and tribulus.

Noxitril is equally effective for men and women. Like Viagra, arginine in Noxitril helps increase blood flow to the genital area, potentially increasing sensation to the sex organs and enhancing the pleasures of lovemaking… for both sexes.

Noxitril sparks sexual desire with a prized extract called Maca.

In one study a whopping 60 percent of healthy subjects experienced enhanced sexual satisfaction from using this amazing herb. The placebo group’s score was just as surprising — zero percent!

In another study, test subjects were asked to consume maca, just like that found in Noxitril, exactly one hour before sexual activity.

A full two-thirds of male patients unexpectedly ex-

The pivotal third set turned into a point-forpoint affair with neither team leading by more than four points.

Mill Creek had chance to win the set with the serve and a 25-24 lead, but one of eight kills from Mar’ria Phillips of North tied it back up at 25-25.

The teams traded points with North finally going up 27-26 when tournament MVP Alexa Fortin assisted O’Farrell for one of her 15 kills. O’Farrell also received All-Tournament Team honors.

The match finally ended 28-26 when a kill attempt from Mill Creek sailed long, giving North a 2-1 lead.

“We had a big shot in the third set but we ran out of subs and we had to make a couple of decisions about what we were going to do,” Mill Creek head coach Brian Williamson said. “That was tough because I couldn’t get one of my big hitters back in.

It was tight and our girls played hard all evening and never gave up.”

That never-give-up style of play helped Mill Creek erase a 13-4 deficit in the fourth set to pull within one point at 20-19.

However, the attempt to tie went awry when a serve went out left, and the duo of Fortin and O’Farrell teamed up for three straight kills to go up 24-20.

Mill Creek got the ball back for one more serve down 24-21, and Fortin again assisted O’Farrell for the match-clinching point.

Fortin finished with 37 assists, nine digs and four kills, while Ramey Salyer added 11 kills. Jill Tontillo, also an All-Tournament Team member, recorded 16 digs.

Mill Creek had three players named to the All-Tournament team in Aiyana Bermudez (seven kills), Adriana Ackerman (29 assists) and Sonya Silecky (14 kills, six digs).

The two teams will open the Class AAAAAAA state playoffs at home on Oct. 20 with North hosting Parkview and Mill Creek playing Lakeside-DeKalb.

Hopefully, with cooler weather and a fast course, teams can have a great day of competition before the postseason begins.”

The meet is named after Rick Wood, a member of the Gwinnett County Cross Country Hall of Fame who taught and coached at South Gwinnett in the 1980s and 1990s, coaching numerous teams to the podium in Class AAAA, then the highest classification. His 1992 team won the AAAA state champion-

Wood retired from coaching in 2000 and from teaching this past May, but will be in attendance and will start some races this weekend.

Another Coach Wood meet tradition, the Hope/ Hoppines Canned Food Drive, also is back this year. Teams and spectators are encouraged to bring canned goods for the Southeast Gwinnett Co-op — an award goes to the team donating the most canned goods. The food drive is named in memory of two people with ties to the cross country community — Hope McKenzie, daughter of former Shiloh cross country and track coach Willie McKenzie and wife Susan McKenzie, and Tajay Hoppines, a Mill Creek cross country runner who graduated in 2012.

THE BREAKDOWN

A look at this week’s prep football matchups (all games at 7:30 p.m. unless otherwise noted)

BERKMAR AT PARKVIEW

BROOKWOOD AT CENTRAL GWINNETT

BERKMAR PATRIOTS (7-AAAAAAA) PARKVIEW PANTHERS (7-AAAAAAA) Coach: Willie Gary Coach: Eric Godfree Record: 2-5, 0-3 region Record: 6-0, 2-0 region Last week: Lost to Central Gwinnett 49-3 Last week: Beat Lakeside-DeKalb 59-0 The Battle of the Green Flag — the winner gets to display an aged, green flag as Lilburn champion for a year — still means plenty to Parkview despite winning the last 18 meetings in the rivalry. Berkmar, which last beat Parkview in 1999, has a 6-34 record in the series.

“We have it here, we have it hanging up,” Parkview head coach Eric Godfree said of the Green Flag. “We do make a big deal of it. We’ll put it on the flag pole Friday, and after the game we take it down and the winner takes it.”

Parkview, ranked third in Class AAAAAAA and Gwinnett’s last unbeaten team, is the heavy favorite in the rivalry again. The Panthers dominated Lakeside last week with its usual contributions on offense from Malik Washington (154 total Elijah yards, TD), Jordan Williams (11 of 14 passing 202 yards, TD) and Cody Brown Brown (five rushes, 78 yards, TD). Zach Nerbonne led the offensive front and Jared Brown scored twice, on a 12-yard reception and a 40-yard punt return.

Elijah Brown, Bryce Wilson and JoJo Underdue were among the standouts on a defense that posted its second straight shutout to begin region play.

Berkmar stopped its long losing streak with a pair of wins early in the season, but region play has started rough with losses to Brookwood (49-0), Meadowcreek (53-0) and Central Gwinnett (49-3). Despite the setbacks, the Patriots have improved from a season ago under first-year head coach Willie Gary.

“When we showed film Monday, we showed positive plays and negative plays that make you lose the game,” Gary said. “We’re getting some positive plays on teams’ first unit. We’ve just got to do it back to back to back. Once you can do that, you’ll be able to compete in these games.”

Gary said quarterback Donte Henry did some good things last Friday, as did Miles Bryant. Jared Cunningham also continues to deliver, both at free safety and slot receiver.

Last meeting: Parkview won 66-0 last year Location: Parkview High School

BROOKWOOD BRONCOS (7-AAAAAAA) CENTRAL BLACK KNIGHTS (7-AAAAAAA) Coach: Philip Jones Coach: Todd Wofford Record: 5-1, 2-0 region Record: 3-4, 2-1 region Last week: Beat Meadowcreek 47-20 Last week: Beat Berkmar 49-3 Both Brookwood and Central Gwinnett are firmly in the playoff chase, and the Broncos join Parkview as the only teams with unbeaten region records.

“It’s a big game for both of us,” Central head coach Todd Wofford said. “We’re midway through region play and every game each week, it amplifies the playoff seedings and everything else.”

Brookwood, which has five straight wins since a season-opening loss to defending state champion North Gwinnett in the Corky Kell Classic, has its showdown with Parkview looming next week, but it can’t overlook Central, which ended a three-game losing streak with victories over region bottom-dwellers LakesideDeKalb (59-7) and Berkmar (49-3).

Derrell “We’re excited about the opportunity to play another big region game,” BrookHolston wood head coach Philip Jones said. “They’re very skilled and athletic. On offense, they try to put their guys in space and create mismatches with speed. On defense, they’re trying to create pressure every down and they try to get you off rhythm, off schedule with your offense. … We have to get them all blocked up because they’re going to send them.”

Brookwood fell behind early last week against Meadowcreek, but rebounded thanks in large part to an opportunistic defense led by Jake Winskie (three fumble recoveries, one caused fumble), Derrell Holston (12 tackles, two sacks, one caused fumble) and Zion Pullins (one interception, one caused fumble).

Central was without quarterback Justin Fomby — who, along with wide receiver T.J. Ellis, transferred from Brookwood in the offseason — because of an injury last week. In his place, Skylar Adams moved over from receiver and was 11 of 15 passing for 162 yards, accounting for three TDs. “Skylar Adams showed he can lead the team,” Wofford said.

Tony Johnson led the Central defense last week with two sacks and two tackles for losses.

Last meeting: Brookwood won 52-28 last year Location: Central Gwinnett High School

BUFORD AT LOGANVILLE

COMMERCE AT HEBRON CHRISTIAN

BUFORD WOLVES (8-AAAAA) LOGANVILLE RED DEVILS (8-AAAAA) Coach: John Ford Coach: Mike Humphreys Record: 5-2, 2-0 region Record: 3-4, 1-1 region Last week: Beat Cedar Shoals 55-6 Last week: Lost to Clarke Central 8-3 That Buford’s defense has allowed one touchdown in two weeks is impressive.

That Buford’s defense scored more touchdowns in its game against Cedar Shoals than opposing teams have scored against it is remarkable.

“Two defensive touchdowns is a huge positive,” head coach John Ford said of the Wolves’ win over Cedar Shoals. “We were efficient through the air while still being physical.”

Jarmarius Isaac became the second and third players to scored defensive TDs for Buford this season. Isaac’s interception was his first of the season and sixth overall for the Buford defense. Six different players have recorded interceptions for the Wolves.

Buford continues its quest to keep players healthy through region play and Jamarius make gradual improvements against Loganville.

Isaac “We just want to do 100 different things 1 percent better,” Ford said. “There’s not going to be any game-changing schemes. This isn’t the time of year to do that. The key is becoming better at being who you are and eliminating mistakes.”

At 29 points per game, Red Devils defense has allowed opponents to score the most points game in Region 8-AAAAA. This is the third consecutive season Loganville and Buford will meet as region rivals.

Loganville hasn’t beat Buford since 1986, the only win for the Red Devils in 12 matchups in the series.

Both schools have football programs with rich histories. The schools combine for more than 130 football seasons.

“They’re an athletic team and they’ve done some good things when they get guys in space,” Ford said.

“They’re aggressive on defense, play blocks and pursue well. It’s a game we have to go out and execute.”

Last meeting: Buford won 49-0 last year Location: Loganville High School

COMMERCE TIGERS (8-A) HEBRON CHRISTIAN LIONS (8-A) Coach: Michael Brown Coach: Jeff Saturday Record: 6-0, 1-0 region Record: 4-2, 2-0 region Last week: Beat Lakeview Academy 42-0 Last week: Beat Towns County 47-0 In six previous games against Commerce, Hebron has never beaten the Tigers.

There are some signals that Commerce’s dominance may be receding. Hebron had the ball on Commerce’s end of the field with time running out in the fourth quarter of last year’s 29-26 loss to the Tigers. Previously, Hebron’s closest margin of defeat was 22 points.

The Lions have perhaps the best statistical team in school history heading into a crucial Region 8-A matchup with No. 5 Commerce. Hebron scores an average of 36 points and opponents average 16.2 points. If those stats hold, it is on pace for the stingiest defense and most explosive offense in school history.

Hebron’s defense is boosted by consistent production from a deep roster. Eight Blake different Hebron players have recorded at least 2 1/2 tackles for loss. Five of those Scarberry eight players, including seniors Blake Scarberry and Michael Moyers, have appeared in all six of Hebron’s games.

If Hebron can handle Commerce, the Lions are one win over Riverside Military Academy from clinching a spot in the Region 8 championship game. The winner of that game earns automatic qualification to the state playoffs. Hebron is currently No. 19 in the Class A-Private power ratings.

While Hebron features a strong and balanced team, the Lions meet Commerce at perhaps the peak of its power as a football program with more than 90 seasons on record. The Tigers score 39.8 points per game and opponents score an average of 7.8 points. That defensive metric is on pace to be the best since 1986. No Tigers team has averaged more than 37 points in a season.

Commerce has three shutouts this season, including last week’s game against Lakeview Academy.

Last meeting: Commerce won 29-26 last year Location: Hebron Christian Academy

DISCOVERY AT MILL CREEK

GAC AT LUMPKIN COUNTY

DISCOVERY TITANS (6-AAAAAAA) MILL CREEK HAWKS (6-AAAAAAA) Coach: Efrem Hill Coach: Shannon Jarvis Record: 1-5, 0-2 region Record: 4-3, 2-1 region Last week: Lost to North Gwinnett 50-25 Last week: Lost to Mountain View 42-20 After starting region play with two wins, Mill Creek stumbled last week against defending state champion North Gwinnett in a game that got lopsided in the second half. The Hawks hope to rebound against an rising Discovery program.

“Coach (Efrem) Hill is doing a great job at Discovery,” Mill Creek head coach Shannon Jarvis said. “It is impressive to see how much they have improved this year. We must bounce back from last week and play well as this is another big region game.”

There was a lot to like offensively for Mill Creek against North, specifically the play of an offensive line led by Ethan Marshall, Jonathan Leech, Bryce Hancock and Christian McIntyre. Their play helped the Hawks’ two top playmakers to big games — Chancellor Lee-Parker rushed 24 times for 204 yards and two touchdowns and Ethan Parker Wroble had five carries for 32 yards along with seven catches for 104 yards.

Marshall Mill Creek wants to play better defensively against a Discovery offense that has been more productive this season. The Titans have scored 20 or more points in four of the last five games, beginning with a 31-0 win over Shiloh. The young program has been competitive in every game this season aside from a 41-6 loss to North.

Hill praised his team’s offensive line play as well, led last Friday by Wilson Beltran’s 88 percent grade and three pancake blocks. Kobe Johnson continues to produce as a playmaker, including eight rushes for 76 yards and three catches for 62 yards against Mountain View, accounting for a pair of TDs. Anthony Rochester and Mustafa Alkahtib were the top performers last week on a Titans defense that the coaches say must tackle better.

“It’s technique and effort, that’s all it is,” Hill said of the defensive issues last Friday. “We’ve got to continue to teach our kids. Nobody is pushing us around. The physical part is there. Just at times there are some bad fits, somebody’s not hustling to the ball. It’s all technique and effort.”

Last meeting: Mill Creek won 45-7 last year Location: Mill Creek High School

GAC SPARTANS (7-AAA) LUMPKIN COUNTY INDIANS (7-AAA) Coach: Tim Hardy Coach: Shane Williamson Record: 5-2, 3-0 region Record: 3-3, 1-1 region Last week: Beat Dawson County 23-20 Last week: Beat Cherokee Bluff 42-10 GAC is coming off a narrow and crucial win over previously unbeaten Dawson County that likely decided the region title. The Spartans have beaten the two biggest challengers in 7-AAA and now face Lumpkin County’s old-school wishbone offense.

“It’s a little bit of a throwback,” GAC head coach TIm Hardy said. “But it’s an unbalanced wishbone with a strong interior run game. Lumpkin County has a strong wrestling tradition, so they have physical kids up front on both sides of the ball. They line up and come at you.”

The Spartans, who have a lifetime 8-0 record against Lumpkin County, are led by quarterback Josh Rose. The senior has rushed for a team-leading 438 yards Cole and went over the 1,000-yard mark passing against Dawson County. Rose threw Jolly for 264 yards to push his season total to 1,197 and has accounted for 15 touchdowns this season.

Senior Ty James remains his top target and is coming off a dominant 167-yard, two-touchdown performance.

“There are eight or 10 plays that change a game and you never know which play is going to be one of those,” Hardy said. “We spent a lot of time this week working on being consistently disciplined.

That’s a growth point.

“We need to make great decisions on offense and close out drives on defense.”

GAC’s defense was keyed by senior Cole Jolly (12 tackles) and junior Choe Bryant-Strother (13 tackles). Seniors Christopher Hinton had nine tackles and Jeffrey Blake recorded a pair of sacks last week.

“Cole Jolly definitely played his best game of the year and we definitely played well up front last week,” Hardy said.

Last meeting: GAC won 61-14 last year Location: Lumpkin County High School

LAKESIDE AT NORCROSS

PEACHTREE RIDGE AT DULUTH

LAKESIDE-DEKALB VIKINGS (7-AAAAAAA) NORCROSS BLUE DEVILS (7-AAAAAAA) Coach: Zack Edwards Coach: Keith Maloof Record: 1-6, 0-3 region Record: 2-4, 1-1 region Last week: Lost to Parkview 59-0 Last week: Had a bye Norcross had an off week after a good battle with unbeaten Parkview. The score stayed close with the Panthers for much of the night, but a 7-0 game spiraled into a 28-0 loss to the third-ranked team in Class AAAAAAA. “We feel we could have beat them,” Norcross head coach Keith Maloof said of Parkview. “In the third and fourth quarter, we let it get away from us.”

A lesser challenge awaits this week. Since a season-opening win over Decatur, Lakeside has lost six straight, all but one in lopsided fashion. Its 0-3 start to region play features blowout losses to Meadowcreek (54-14), Central Gwinnett (59-7) and Parkview (59-0).

After this week, Norcross plays another winless region team, Berkmar, before Christian closing with important region games against fellow playoff contenders Brookwood Sims and Meadowcreek. Those two games should decide a lot when it comes to playoff positioning.

The Blue Devils’ young team gets better weekly, Maloof said.

He is particularly pleased with how the special teams units have cleaned things up since a rough start early in the season.

Receivers Christian Sims and Isaiah Wilson have been productive for quarterback Louis Williams — Sims had seven catches for 70 yards against Parkview and Wilson had six receptions for 68 yards.

The defense has been led lately by defensive lineman Jaylin Carter and linebacker Christian Wright.

Wright had 11 stops in the Parkview game.

Last meeting: Norcross won 41-6 last year Location: Norcross High School

PEACHTREE RIDGE LIONS (6-AAAAAAA) DULUTH WILDCATS (6-AAAAAAA) Coach: Reggie Stancil Coach: Bob Swank Record: 0-7, 0-3 region Record: 2-4, 0-2 region Last week: Lost to Collins Hill 7-0 Last week: Had a bye The grind of region play can take its toll, so the bye week came at a good time for Duluth, according to head coach Bob Swank. On Tuesday, Wildcats still had some players “banged up” and were still waiting for a handful of players to return to 100 percent in the days before their home game against Peachtree Ridge.

The Lions are in a different situation, coming off a 7-0 loss against a physical opponent in Collins Hill. They are still searching for their first win of the season. Duluth is looking for its first victory since Sept. 7, and its first in school history against Peachtree Ridge. As the grind of region play rolls on, both teams are hungry for a win.

“They have an excellent defense,” Swank said regarding Peachtree Ridge. “The last few weeks, we’ve seen a bunch of good defenses in a row. Their offense is Deonte struggling like our offense is struggling.”

Miller Swank said some similarities can be drawn from both defenses, which have made some improvement from years past. Peachtree Ridge’s average of roughly 30 points allowed per game is six points better than the 2017 season.

Duluth’s defense is one of its best in recent memory, in terms of average points. The Wildcats are on pace to allow the fewest opposing points per game (27.7) since 2006 (26.7).

“The defense had definitely been better,” Swank said. “The biggest thing is we’ve given up big plays.

Down-in and down-out, they’re better. We have a good defensive coaching staff and some decent depth at defense, finally. The defensive line is playing well and the linebackers run well.”

Duluth’s Deonte Miller has contributed for Duluth’s improved defense. He starts at linebacker and is one of the Wildcats’ leading rushers.

Last meeting: Peachtree Ridge won 21-12 last year Location: Duluth High School

PROVIDENCE CHRISTIAN AT GLASCOCK COUNTY

ROCKDALE COUNTY AT SOUTH GWINNETT

PROVIDENCE STORM (8-A) GLASCOCK COUNTY PANTHERS (7-A) Coach: Parker Conley Coach: Chris Kelley Record: 2-4 Record: 0-7 Last week: Lost to Riverside Military 34-0 Last week: Lost to ACE Charter 47-10 The Storm kept an eye on the storm — Hurricane Michael — as it made its way across the southern portion of Georgia. Providence Christian has a mid-season, non-region matchup with Glascock County, which canceled school Thursday after the storm passed through the area near Augusta.

“We’re hoping it’s able to clear out in time,” Storm head coach Parker Conley said.

Providence matches up well, especially across the line, with Glascock County.

“They mix up their looks with run-heavy and the spread,” Conley said. “They try to establish the run with a good fullback in the middle.”

Glascock, which is playing a non-region schedule this season, is still looking for its first win. Providence aims to snap a four-game losing streak, which included setJosh backs to three straight ranked teams and a 34-0 loss last week against Riverside Jones Military, which the Storm beat in 2017.

“We came out a little flat last week and let off the gas early,” Conley said. “We want to let the guys know that we’re out there with the mindset that we’re ready to fight. We can’t expect other people to not do their job. In talking with Riverside afterward, they were ready to fight. They came in wanting redemption from last year.”

That result aside, Conley has been encouraged with the progress the Storm are making with second-half efforts and especially with the leadership of Josh Jones.

“We mixed up the depth chart to give us a better chance later in games,” Conley said. “We’ve been pleased with the opening halves, but when we get fatigued, it causes frustration and the scoreboard tilts the other way. We’ve seen a lot of guys stepping up and we’re hoping to get a lot of guys in this week.

“Josh Jones has really stood out, not just on the field. He’s been that rock when things have gotten difficult with injuries and personnel issues. We’re hoping to get him the ball even more.”

Shiloh’s loss to Rockdale County on Sept. 28 means South Gwinnett controls its own destiny with the Region 8-AAAAAAA No. 4 seed illuminating the end of the 2018 regular-season tunnel.

“That’s the goal, you play them one at a time,” Davenport said. “(Rockdale) beat Shiloh and fourth in the region is right there. We’re not discounting the opportunity to play Archer and Grayson. You have to beat the teams that give you an opportunity to get in.”

Kobe South Gwinnett is 2-0 against Rockdale since region realignment in 2016 put Hylton the two schools in the same region. The Bulldogs haven’t beaten the Comets since 1988. The teams’ 2017 game was a 19-14 win when the Comets put the game away on a fourth-quarter field goal while its defense shut out Rockdale in the second half.

Rockdale’s athletic quarterback Justin Steele is relishing a breakout season. He has rushed and passed with efficiency. He rushed for 163 yards against Shiloh and threw for 89 yards and two touchdowns.

“There’s some athleticism at the skill positions,” Davenport said. “You have to be trained on him.

Just the athleticism is similar to Newton in terms of the ability to strike in the open field.”

The Comets’ offense has not been robust, but their defense has kept games close with an average of 21 points allowed to opponents.

Senior Kobe Hylton has 38 total tackles and nine tackles for loss as a mature piece of the Comets’ young, developing defense.

FANS CHOICE FALL ATHLETE OF WEEK Who: Myles Collins School: Archer Sport: Cross country Class: Junior Highlights: Placed fourth, best among Gwinnett runners, in the Boys Championship Division of the Alexander/Asics Invitational Coach John McCartney’s take: “As planned, Myles has steadily improved over the course of the season.

Recent workouts have indicated to me and to Myles that he was ready to compete at the highest level at the Asics meet. Myles has only one goal for this, his junior cross country season, and that is to win the boys 7A state championship. With one major tweak to his race strategy, he may be able to pull off a victory on Nov. 3 in Carrollton.”

SNELLVILLE — The championship swapping in Region 7-AAAAAAA volleyball continued Thursday night.

Norcross ousted tournament host and defending champion Brookwood in four sets, handing the regular-season champion Broncos their first region loss this season. The Blue Devils’ 20-25, 25-21, 25-20 and 2519 victory sends them into the Class AAAAAAA playoffs as a No. 1 seed.

“It’s our third year in this region, the first year we won it, last year (Brookwood) won it and then this year we won, so it’s been a growing rivalry for the last three years,” Norcross head coach Jeff Cerneka said.

“It’s been a lot of fun. (Brookwood coach) Stacey (Bennum) does a great job with her program. We always know when we play them, they’re going to give it their all, 100 percent. They’re going to compete with us, tooth for tooth, point for point. That’s the kind of grind-it-out (match) it is with them.”

Brookwood (35-15), a No. 2 seed for state, got off to a nice start despite an offensive change necessitated because setter Maddie McCormack was out with an illness. The Broncos never trailed in the first game.

But Norcross (31-12) stormed back with strong finishes in the next two games, scoring the last six points of both despite facing deficits.

“We don’t panic,” said Cerneka, whose team lost 2-1 to Brookwood late in the regular season.

Down 21-19 in Game 2, the hitting of Maya Smith (11 kills) and Serenity Owens (eight kills) powered the 6-0 spurt for a 2521 win. The Blue Devils trailed 20-19 in the third game when Janna Schlageter (18 kills, 12 digs) went on a binge of kills to spark that six-point run for a 25-20 win.

Norcross never trailed in the clinching fourth game, holding off a Brookwood rally that included a point for a red card on Cerneka and finishing off a 25-19 win. A powerful blast by Schlageter finished things off.

“It’s so great (to win region again),” Schlageter said. “The team this year has so much chemistry. We get along so well and we’ve improved so much since the summer. It’s great to come out and get a win like that.”

Bella Murray contributed 35 assists, four aces and 10 digs

for the victors, and libero Ava Byfield added eight digs.

“Our chemistry is outstanding,” Cerneka said. “It’s nothing I’m doing. Whatever combination I put on floor here or in practice, they just connect.

The chemistry’s been great. …

We’ve grown. From Aug. 1 to this point, we’re ascending. We were shaky in the beginning (of the season). On the floor, we just couldn’t put it all together at one point.

“But they come to practice every day and work their behinds off. And they’re just fun to be around. No matter what happens, they keep working, supporting each other, keep improving. We just keep getting better and better. I know that we haven’t hit our peak yet.”

“We’re still climbing,” Schlageter said.

Brookwood also feels good about its state playoff hopes when it gets McCormack, and its normal offense, back. The setback is the latest in an injuryplagued season that has seen multiple players miss time, or the entire season.

“This season has been one of pure adversity,” Bennum said.

“We’ve had so many injuries throughout the season, like it’s unrealistic. I’ve coached for so many years and I maybe have one a year and this year it’s been four or five. And today our setter’s sick and didn’t get to play. … We went to a 5-1 and Abbey Tucker is a great setter, she’s learning how to set this year and doing such a good job for us.

She’s really putting in the work.

But she’s an incredible hitter, so we lost her as an attacker (when she played setter). So that was a huge loss for us. That was a huge change in our offense.”

Tucker delivered 35 assists and eight digs in her setter role.

Cydney Gardner (13 kills, 14 digs, three aces) and Sophia Koop (12 kills, 10 digs, three aces) led the Brookwood hitters.

Amber Williams, in her first game back from an injury that has sidelined her two weeks, added six kills and two blocks.

“Norcross played really well, played great defense,” Bennum said. “We knew it was going to be a tough game. … I’m just proud of my girls because I know we’ve had to go through a lot. I think we’re going to be okay in the state touranment.

We’re looking forward to hopefully making a run. … We’ve seen we can really compete with the best teams. When we get our squad at full strength, I have a lot of faith in them.”

On Archer’s ensuing drive, Rams cornerback Jalen Alexander played a Peevy pass aggressively at midfield and returned an interception 51 yards for a TD.

Booth led Archer with 85 yards receiving and two TDs. Peevy completed 23 of his 35 passing attempts with two interceptions.

Grayson’s final home game of the regular season is Oct. 19 when the Rams host Newton.

Archer will try to finish out the season as the No. 2 seed in Region 8-AAAAAAA when it travels to Rockdale County before ending the regular season at home.

Mondays through Fridays, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturdays, closed Sundays Location: Located on Main Street in Buford’s historic dowtown Atmosphere: Main St. Deli is a fast-casual dining experience nestled along Buford’s historic downtown area. Owner Chris Ouimet has spent a majority of his life involved in the restaurant business.

“My earliest memories come from cooking with my grandmother and mother,” Ouimet said.

“When I was in kindergarten, I came home from making bread in class and my mom said that I came home so excited saying I would be the bread man growing up.”

His passion for food led him to attend Johnson and Wales culinary school in Providence, R.I., to get a degree specializing in baking and pastries.

Prior to settling in Buford, he worked with the Ritz-Carlton in Florida and California, worked with Disney in Floriday and with Whole Foods in Georgia.

Ouimet, his wife and 1-year-old daughter, Olivia, moved to Buford in 2006 to be closer to family. The move to the area and the subsequent support of the community is one of the reasons he opened Main St. Deli.

In April 2013 his daugter was diagnosed with viral hepatitis causing her to stop producing blood.

“We tried to get jump started with medication and a bone marrow transplant but it didn’t work,” Ouimet said. “She passed

This community especially the church and the school lifted us up when we really needed it. That was the catalyst behind opening this up.”

The inside features a glass counter where guests can see the daily quiche, meats, cheese before making a selection and provides an intimate atmosphere where Ouimet likes talking to and getting to know his customers.

“We have one rule here,” Ouimet said. “Good food, good people and good times. Life’s too short for anything less.”

Menu: Main St. Deli offers a traditional deli spread dominated by freshly baked bread, an assortment of meats tand

homemade sides.

“Fresh and minimally processed food is what we serve,” Ouimet said. “At the same time, we’re trying to be accommodating and if you don’t see what you want, ask us and we’ll

make it.”

Options and ensuring that customers aren’t excluded due to dietary restriction is something Ouimet has taken to heart.

The menu includes breakfast sandwiches such as the Bird’s Nest, made with bacon, lettuce, tomato and mayonnaise served on a Challah roll and topped with a nested runny egg, and the Ranchero — fried egg, avocado, bacon, pico de gallo and hot sauce on a Challah roll — that are served all day as well as a build your own sandwich and a selection of deli specialties.

The store also serves as a deli where people can buy deli meats including turkey, roast beef, ham, pastrami, an assortment of cheeses and sides such as coleslaw, potato, egg, tuna and chicken salads by the pound.

The deli also serves $10 home cooked entree to-go meals — inlcuding chicken and dumplings and meatloaf — that change seasonally.

“We added that because it reminds me of what my mother used to make,” Ouimet said. “I try to include things that are nostalgic for me growing up to give guests a similar experience.”

Emily Hackett returns home with EP release show at Eddie’s Attic

BY TREVOR MCNABOE

trevor.mcnaboe @gwinnettdailypost.com

Tuesday’s concert at Eddie’s Attic in Decatur is a date Emily Hackett has circled on her calendar.

Not only is it one of her EP release shows highlighting her new album, “By the Sun,” but it is also a homecoming of sorts.

A 2008 graduate of Norcross High School, Hackett grew up in Peachtree Corners and developed a passion for music at an early age.

“I started playing guitar in fifth grade and doing the talent show at Simpson Elementary School,” Hackett said.

“Writing for me really started in sixth grade, and I really only wrote songs about the things I was going through.”

She got involved in the Norcross theater program, something

she said gave her confidence, before moving to Nashville to attend Belmont University and pursue a country music career.

“I’m thrilled to be coming back to an area I know with a band and looking to provide an energy people haven’t heard before,” Hackett said. “It’s a little bit more life and light. It’s really exciting to be introducing Davin McCoy, a local artist, to my fans. Local music is so important.”

She said the timing of her coming back to a familiar area fits

perfectly with “By the Sun,” which features five songs.

“These are all songs that have been written over the course of the last five or six years,” Hackett said. “I love being able to introduce myself to fans as honest as I can be.”

Hackett began recording songs during the end of 2016 and her first single, “Nostalgia,” was released in August 2017.

Other songs included in the EP are “Waitress,” “Josie,” “Good Intentions” and “Yours.”

“This takes you into more about me and the things I’m nostalgic for, the mistakes and everything in between,” Hackett said. “This showcases how I would be if you meet me out on the street.”

Annual Lilburn Daze Arts Festival returns for its 45th rendition

BY TREVOR MCNABOE trevor.mcnaboe @gwinnettdailypost.com

The city of Lilburn’s motto, “Small town, big difference,” will be epitomized Saturday at the annual Lilburn Daze Arts Festival.

What started off as a small event in 1973 hosted by the Lilburn Woman’s Club and the city of Lilburn has been transformed 45 years later into a community event, which is expected to pack more than 10,000 residents, guests and vendors into City Park on Main Street in Lilburn.

“We’ve been doing this a long time and it’s a huge community event for us,” said Dianna Carson, Lilburn Daze chair. “There’s more Gena Suber of Lilburn points to a product being sold by Kathy Losey of Powder than 175 vendors, a chilSprings during the 41st annual Lilburn Daze Arts and Crafts Festival in 2014.

Carson, who has been a member of the Lilburn Woman’s Club for more than 25 years and helped organize the event for more than a decade, said it is the largest fundraiser for the organization.

“Proceeds of the event goes to the Women’s Club charities and scholarship,” Carson said. “It keeps us from having smaller events throughout the year and serves as a way for us to give the community a fund day as well.”

Carson said she hopes the event will raise upward of $20,000 from vendor fees, sponsorships and proceeds.

“We’ve been planning this The kid zone, including a train ride, will return for the 45th Lilburn Daze Arts Festival event since March,” Carson said. “Each year we’re trying this Saturday. (Special Photo)

sive theatre” event based on a traditional Italian-American wedding and reception, with warm and intrusive stereotypes exaggerated for comic effect. Audience members are treated as guests at the wedding by the interactive, improvisational comedy cast.

More than 25 actors create an unforgettable evening where “anything could happen.” Although this “wedding” is occurring in 2018, “Tony and Tina” have a love for all things 1980s, especially the music of that era.

Local theater artists from across the metro Atlanta area are a part of the cast for this production. Many of these artists have performed with Lionheart in the past.

“Tony ’n’ Tina’s Wedding” by Nancy Cassaro and Artificial Intelligence exploded onto the theater scene more than 20 years ago, and the play has enjoyed a successful off-Broadway run ever since. The piece has been staged in over 100 locations worldwide, including cities in Canada, Japan, Germany, the United Kingdom and Australia.

Leading up to the November wedding, Caldwell encourages all guests to keep an eye on Lionheart’s “Tony ’n’ Tina’s Wedding at Lionheart” Facebook event page for additional photos and videos documenting Tony and Tina’s journey to “I Do.” Follow the updates by visiting www.facebook.com/ events/2047913315523915/

Audience members will have the chance to be part of the show at Lionheart Theatre’s production of “Tony ’n’ Tina’s Wedding.” The popular play is the Lionheart’s fall fundraiser.

Imagine a destination wedding to beautiful Norcross. Groom-to-be Tony Nunzio (Daniel Cutts) and bride-to-be Tina Vitale (Jennica Hill) have chosen this Gwinnett city as their perfect place to tie the knot. Audience members are treated as guests at this over the top, tacky and outrageous Italian-American wedding and reception.

The show runs evenings from Nov. 7-10. Doors open at 6:15 p.m. and the “wedding” starts promptly at 7 p.m. After the ceremony, all guests adjourn to the ballroom for a reception featuring a delicious pasta dinner, wedding cake, champagne toasts and dancing. The Italian buffet dinner will be catered by “Hell’s Kitchen” Season 8 Winner, Chef Nona Johnson of Sizzling Peach.

Seating for “Tony and Tina’s Wedding” is limited, so interested audience members are encouraged to make reservations as soon as possible. Tickets are $45 each and can be purchased online at www.lionhearttheatre.org. Tickets include the buffet dinner, wedding cake, champagne toast and two drink tickets.

Lionheart Theatre is located at 10 College St. in the heart of Norcross’ Historic District.

“We are planning a truly exciting evening of theatre,” Lionheart’s founder and producing artistic director Tanya Caldwell said. “What could be more fun than taking on the humor, craziness and drama of a big wedding and reception? Our patrons have never seen anything like this from Lionheart before.”

movies Director in over his head with Neil Armstrong film First Man (PG-13) ★★★★

BY MICHAEL CLARK

Movie Critic

For the first 90 minutes (that’s right 90 minutes) of director Damien Chazelle’s “First Man,” all we learn about Neil Armstrong (Ryan Gosling) is that he keeps to himself and is emotionally unavailable, a workaholic and crushingly dull. An aeronautics engineer who began his NASA career in 1961, Armstrong started as a pilot and was on the short list for the Gemini program which morphed into the Apollo program and his ascendency to becoming the first man to walk on the Moon.

“First Man” is Chazelle’s fourth feature, a big-budget, high-profile epic. He’s got a phenomenal cast, a nearly $60 million budget and a story with a built-in (supposed) happy ending yet turns it into a 143-minute, slogging mope-fest.

At various points, “First Man” is an Armstrong bio-flick and a history of NASA, yet Chazelle and screenwriter Josh Singer (“Spotlight,” “The Post”), adapting the book of almost the same name by James R. Hansen, give us a little of both and not enough of either. The opening scene — sans credits — shows Armstrong (eyes and nose only) in tandem with wide shots of outer space while he tries to land a plane against great odds. The cameras rotate and shake, and what should have taken

two minutes lasts for 15.

It’s just the first of dozens of similar scenes that go on far too long with so little to impart.

The unexpected loss of an immediate family member shortly thereafter rattles Armstrong and is revisited throughout. While well-intended, it comes off as exploitative and tawdry.

Members of Armstrong’s surviving family have supposedly given the film their blessing, yet knowing of the man’s extreme reluctance to ever cash in on his moon-walking fame and his avoidance of publicity, it’s unlikely he would have gotten even close to endorsing this finished film.

During the long journey, we’re introduced to lesser-known NASA astronauts — Ed White, Gus Grissom, Elliot See and Roger Chaffee — and higher profile guys — John Glenn, Jim Lovell, Armstrong’s Apollo 11 mates Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins — and only White (Jason Clarke) gets close to anything resembling fully fleshed-out.

Also qualifying for the lacking-fleshed-out tag is Armstrong’s wife Janet (Claire Foy, “Unsane”), who is burdened to do something interesting with her tired, “suffering/woman behind the man” archetype.

Foy gets exactly one good scene — in which she drops an F-bomb and begs to the point of shameless pleading for Armstrong to talk to his children before going to the moon — yet is largely portrayed as a static worry-wart accessory for the rest of the film.

By the time the film-

makers get around to the Apollo 11 mission, the audience has been starved for something authentic and engaging for so long, it plays out like a genuine triumph — until it doesn’t.

Much has been said regarding the filmmaker’s (and perhaps the Canadian-born Gosling’s) dubious choice not to show Armstrong and Aldrin planting the American flag on the moon, and it must have had an effect on the studio, which has just posted newly released ads feature the flag (seen in miniature in a longdistance still photo) next to the Eagle lunar module on the moon.

The one area where the filmmakers succeed in spades is in addressing the resistance from both the U.S. Congress and the public in questioning spending so much money to land on what is effectively a dead rock. President Kennedy all but dared the nation to put a man on the moon before the end of the ’60s within months of assuming office for the sole reason of … beating Russia to the punch. The “space race” bled both countries of untold amounts of money and to what end? We have a flag on a satellite sphere and they don’t.

There’s a great movie yet unmade about Neil Armstrong. It will follow him from cradle to grave and will include everything which took place before and after his NASA career. He is one of the most interesting and iconic figures in U.S. history and “First Man” is a disgraceful portrayal of his legacy.

FANC Y FUNNEL CAKE Meet the chefs that will be participating at this year’s Good Taste Gwinnett on October 18 at Infinite Energy Forum

Bio:

on My BuCket list:

Kashaun & Domonique Cooper met on the internet through Facebook many years ago and it’s been magic ever since. Kashaun from Brooklyn, NY and Dominoniqe from Baltimore, MD both found their way to Georgia. After years of working for big box stores and the government, and after Domonique was diagnosed with MS, they both took a break and went into semi-retirement.

Kashaun has a list of 60 things to do in 60 months and hopes to accomplish at least half of them. And they’d like to have a funnel cake store in every state for everyone to ‘enjoy funnel cake everyday’.

Culinary BaCkground: Domonique always enjoyed spending time in the kitchen with her mom and grandmother, but the real passion to open a food business came 4 years ago.

After a trip to the fair, their 9 year old said “we should be able to get funnel cakes everyday.” They agreed and embarked on the journey to open their own, stand alone, funnel cake business.

“No one else is doing this and business has been great,” says Domonique.

What i love aBout this PlaCe: “We’re able to be creative and not held to a franchiser’s rules. We can add to the menu at any time, whenever we think of something new” says Domonique.

‘BAD TIMES’ MAKE FOR GOOD VIEWING Bad Times at the El Royale (R) ★★★★

BY MICHAEL CLARK Movie Critic

During a good stretch after “Pulp Fiction” was

released 24 (24?!) years ago, a handful of copycat movies popped up, attempting to riff on filmmaker Quentin Tarantino’s groundbreaking formula.

Some of them (“Things to Do in Denver When You’re Dead,” “2 Days in the Valley,” “Way of the Gun,” “Go”) were pretty good, but most reeked. When

it became clear that only Tarantino could do Tarantino, the ripoff “homages” pretty much stopped until this week with the kind-of/ sort-of “Bad Times at the El Royale.”

Almost as long (140 minutes) as “PF,” the biggest mistake of “Bad Times” is its epic running time, telling a story that, with a

hefty final edit, could have been a classic. Resembling “The Hateful Eight” and QT’s portion of “Four Rooms” more than “PF,” “Bad Times” puts some mostly shady people with checkered pasts together in relatively close quarters with predictably kinetic, powder keg results.

To be eminently fair to filmmaker Drew Goddard, he’s doing the same type of genre-busting here as he displayed as a writer in “Cloverfield,” “The Martian” and “World War Z” and when pulling double duty as both scribe and director of “The Cabin in

the Woods.” In a manner not unlike that of Tarantino, Goddard takes genres he loves — horror, sci-fi, thriller, black comedy — and mocks them while at the same time fawning over them. To be sure, it’s a thin and precarious line to straddle.

Opening sometime in the late ’50s or early ’60s, “Bad Times” starts in earnest 10 or so years later at the El Royale, a hotel near Lake Tahoe in both Nevada and California, likely modeled after the similar Calneva once co-owned by Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin and mob figure Sam Giancana.

First to arrive is aspiring singer Darlene Sweet (Broadway star Cynthia Erivo), who is about to start performing in Reno, and Daniel Flynn (Jeff Bridges), a Catholic priest who can’t go very long without hitting the bottle.

They are greeted by Miles Miller (Lewis Pullman), the manager and likely the hotel’s sole employee.

Twitchy and nervous, Miles likely hasn’t seen a guest in months and becomes even more startled with the arrival of a glad-handing, condescending vacuum salesman, Seymour Sullivan (Jon Hamm), and Emily Summerspring (Dakota Johnson), a no-nonsense girl who is the epitome of the era’s hippie chick/flower child. Emily is traveling with her younger sister,

Rose (Cailee Spaeny), who is none too pleased to be there.

Miles and at least two of the new guests aren’t at all what they seem initially, a point Goddard probably reveals too soon. All six of the deeply conflicted principal characters come with a lot of baggage, and Goddard regularly pauses the narrative to include flashbacks of them to fill in some of the details. Not showing up in full until late in the second act is Billy Lee (Chris Hemsworth), a bare-chested, silver-tongued devil with the physique of a young Jim Morrison and the slippery charm of Charles Manson.

Recognizing the power and soul of Erivo’s considerable pipes, Goddard gave her three scenes in which she performs a cappella.

While more than entertaining and impressive, these passages don’t add much to the plot, and the same can be said for the rest of the soundtrack, almost fully comprised of Motown classics. The lone exception is the sore-thumb “Hush” by Deep Purple, which kicks off the overlong final act with palpable dread and terror. This also marks a shift in tone which is eerily similar to that of director James Mangold’s criminally underrated “Identity” from 2003.

There are going to be a lot of people who will be disappointed with the final scene, which to some will come off as a little too pat, tidy and safe, as compared to everything which came before. As with everything else Goddard has written (including multiple episodes of the TV shows “Buffy the Vampire Slayer,” “Alias” and “Lost”), “Bad Times” makes more sense in retrospect but also doesn’t wish you to think too much — just to strap in and enjoy the often bumpy ride.

Best kind of ‘Trouble’

director/writer rebeck lines film with hope, optimism

By Alex TosTAdo

alex.tostado@gwinnettdailypost.com

Theresa Rebeck considers herself an optimist. She looks for the good in every person she meets and every character she writes.

When Rebeck, a longtime writer known for her work on TV’s “Third Watch,” sat down to write her latest movie, “Trouble,” she already had a character in mind.

“I have a small house in Vermont, and the guy we ended up buying it from was kind of half a criminal, half a mountain man,” Rebeck said. “Some of the details of (‘Trouble’) are just accurate to this guy I knew. And I had real affection toward him even though he was sort of … a troubling guy.”

Ben (played by Bill Pullman, “Independence Day” series) is the younger brother of Maggie (Angelica Huston, “The Addams Family,” “The Witches”). He finds himself in trouble and needs to sell his half of the land that their father left to them. The movie starts with Ben trying to reclaim his half, saying Maggie and her now-deceased husband stole the land from him by taking advantage of his desperate situation. Ben hires his childhood friend, Gerry (David Morse, “The Green Mile,” “The Hurt Locker”), who has a backhoe. Ben assures Gerry that Maggie is OK with his plan and starts digging.

Maggie knew nothing of Ben’s plan and calls the cops on her brother for trespassing. It’s never clearly defined what kind of trouble Ben was in, but it is clear that this small Vermont town has had enough of his antics over the years. When the local sheriff doesn’t immediately throw Ben in jail, Maggie takes matters into her own hands. She shows up to the site with her shotgun in hand. When Ben doesn’t back down, Maggie shoots him.

“I will say, when I started thinking about writing a movie I believe for Angelica comedy has Huston, I a bigger spirit thought, than tragedy. I like the ‘What do way it opens up the you want to possibilities of the unisee Anverse and redemption. gelica do?’ … I think I have faith … I know in the human spirit.

I’m goIn spite of ways we ing to film wound each other, I’m the world interested in survival.” around An— Theresa Re beck, gelica, who director/writer of “Trouble” I deeply admire as a person and an artist and as a force of nature. … (Huston) can do a lot of things; she can very be elegant, she can be very country.

“And I thought, ‘I’d like to see Angelica shoot somebody. … It was weirdly entertaining to me.”

Maggie isn’t all bad, however. After shooting her little brother, she drives him to the hospital, though she does make him sit in the bed of her truck.

“I also have enormous admiration and faith in (Maggie’s) heart,” Rebeck said.

“This is a dark universe. Yeah, she shoots (Ben) and she shouldn’t have shot him,

“

but she doesn’t really want to kill him, either. She’s just mad at him.

“There is sort of a comic leniency from the beginning even though people are doing wrong things.”

Though “Trouble” tackles serious issues, it does so in a not-so-seriouslight, something Rebeck attributes to her comedic-writing background and unwavering optimism.

“I believe comedy has a bigger spirit than tragedy,” she said. “I like the way it opens up the possibilities of the universe and redemption. … I think I have faith in the human spirit. In spite of ways we wound each other, I’m interested in survival.”

Rebeck and Huston, who worked together on “Smash,” had talked about doing a movie together. Rebeck, with Ben in mind, made it happen. “(‘Trouble’) is very much built on the spirit of Maggie,” Rebeck said. “Maggie is the one who has to grow in order to save the world. … She is sort of naturally their queen. It’s a good story for someone who has to open up their heart and forgive.”

Rebeck has a hard time pin-pointing her favorite character in the movie, however.

“I like everyone in that movie,” she said. “(Picking a favorite) is sort of like saying who is your favorite kid.”

“Trouble” is Rebeck’s third movie she has directed (the other two being “The Russian Cousin” and “Poor Behavior”), though she started out directing in the theater. Rebeck said she already had the skill set needed to direct a movie from her time working behind the cameras.

Angelica Huston as Maggie, left, and Bill Pullman as Ben star in “Trouble.”

“I was always working in the theater alongside working in Hollywood,” Rebeck said. “After … producing ‘Smash’ for a season, you start to understand that you have the entire skill set already in place.”

“Trouble” is the first time Rebeck has been the writer, producer and director on a movie, something she said has its pros and cons.

“I really enjoyed the creative scope … of being at the head of the operation, instead of one of several pieces of it,” Rebeck said. “It’s worrying at times because you are creating your own infrastructure and you have to be fast and strong on your feet all the time. That can be exciting and that can also be kind of exhausting.”

The three-time Emmy nominee credits her right-hand women with helping get “Trouble” made.

“I had a (director of photography, Christina Voros) who I really trusted and who helped me a lot,” Rebeck said. “I had a script supervisor (Claire Fowler) who is a true friend, and who is very, very gifted and ruthless. She was always standing there going, ‘Are you sure this? Are you sure you got that?’ So I had a couple of people around me who had become strong lieutenants, and that becomes essential.”

Rebeck looks for optimism everywhere, even in these trying political times, which she said test that optimism. But she can usually find humanity, even in characters like Ben Farmer.

Huston, Pullman use humor to tackle serious issues Trouble (R) HHH

There are few things Maggie Kramer loves more than her house on her plot of land in a small Vermont town. Her brother, Ben Farmer, is definitely not one of them.

We meet Maggie (Angelica Huston, “The Addams Family,” “The Witches”) and Ben (Bill Pullman, “Independence Day” series) as Maggie is walking around her land in her pajamas and trusty cowboy hat. She hears machinery and immediately knows something is wrong. She finds Ben on a backhoe digging a hole.

Just when you start getting mad at a character, Rebeck uses a well-timed flashback to develop the character and throw in minor plot twists.

Rebeck and her team do a great job with the cinematography. Filmed in New York, Rebeck said it’s as close to her native Vermont as she could have asked for.

WHO WILL LIKE THIS...

SEE IT NOW OR WAIT

OVERALL IMPRESSION

Pass: This movie has really stuck with me. The cast, music, acting and directing were excellent. The musical scenes — especially Lady Gaga’s, as Ally — were enthralling. The messages and themes in the film were profound and thought-provoking — especially the ending.

Fail: At a length of more than two hours, this movie was too long. There were a number of slow parts throughout that could have been shaved. For me, that tightening would have boosted it to four stars. Bradley Cooper was somewhat difficult to believe as a major recording artist; however, that wasn’t a big stumbling block. I was disappointed with the excessive nasty language throughout.

Lady Gaga as Ally was so dynamic and alluring, she stole the show. In her first major acting role, Gaga was completely believable. Her singing parts were mesmerizing. Bradley Cooper shined in many parts of the film.

Also, Gaga’s agent in the movie, Rez, played by Rafi Gavron, did a magnificent job in a supporting role — he really gave the film backbone when it needed it.

People who saw the 1976 version of the film, starring Kris Kristofferson and Barbara Streisand, will want to see the new version. It will also be a hit with movie buffs who love intriguing, inspiring dramas — especially those with musical and romantic overtones.

The radiance of Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper really lights up the big screen. I don’t often go to movies in the theater, but I intended to do so with this one ever since I saw the official trailer — and I’m glad I did. The musical scenes alone make it worthy of seeing it in the theater.

Very good movie. From the first scene, it’s alluring. It works well because everyone loves an underdog, and Ally is the underdog, working hard at her restaurant job while burning the midnight oil to pursue her dream to be a performer. When wealthy recording artist Jackson (Bradley Cooper) drops into her life, the film takes the audience on a roller coaster of emotions. When wealthy recording artist Jackson (Bradley Cooper) drops into her life, the film takes the audience on a roller coaster of emotions as we cheer for Ally to see her dreams come true — and root for Jackson to beat his addictions.

Pass: The film, both starring and directed by Bradley Cooper, has an all-star cast, some new and some seasoned, which creates a film that soars above many others. Every scene is meticulous in detail, and the script, co-written by Cooper, is both joyous and heart-wrenching.

Fail: While the script is solidly written, there are moments of melodrama, that even though expected, undercut the film just a bit. In addition, the suspension of disbelief that is asked of the audience, to believe the kind of music his character is making would be relevant at the level the movie portrays, is a bit too much.

Many people are in awe of Lady Gaga’s performance. Her turn was solid enough, but for me, it was Cooper who turns in a heartbreaking performance as the music star whose personal demons keep him from finding true happiness.

This is the fourth iteration of this particular movie, so fans of the earlier versions would enjoy it, as well as those who enjoy watching seasoned actors such as Bradley Cooper and Sam Elliott do what they do best.

No real need in rushing out to see this one.

While the music sounds better in the theater, overall, it would be best to wait for the Blu-ray.

Overall, the movie is wellwritten, directed and acted. While some parts of the movie require the audience to look away from the irony, such as Lada Gaga’s character worrying about dancing and her image overshadowing her true talents, it still works on a deeper level. It very poignantly makes the point that love alone is not enough and it alone can’t fill the void. It does a great job of paying homage to its predecessors and while it may be forgettable, it’s still worth watching.

Pass: From the first time I saw the trailer, I got the sense that this was going to be a special cinematic event, and I was not disappointed. This effective blend of drama and music will be one that is not easily forgotten. This is the theatrical debut of Bradley Cooper as director, and what a first-time effort it is.

Fail: If anything misses here, it would be the quality of most of the original music. According to the credits, Lady Gaga wrote many of the songs along with several collaborators, and most are not particularly memorable (with the exception of the final song, “I’ll Never Love Again,” which is a standout and will surely be nominated for an Oscar). Also, some may find the tempo of the middle section of the movie to be burdensome and slow.

Cooper and Gaga have an electric chemistry right from their first scenes together. We already know Cooper has the acting chops from his previous films, but he seems so relaxed here, offering up a performance that is very realistic and relatable. Gaga, whose previous acting (“American Horror Story”) has been limited, really shines in her role. Sure, the character has a lot in common with her own rise to stardom, but it is more than that — she balances a realness and a vulnerability with energy and passion. I was surprised by the large range of not only her singing, but her acting as well; she is believable and compelling to watch.

Lovers of movie musicals will rush to see this one, as will fans of Cooper and Gaga. It’s appealing as a romance, too, though it is tinged with darkness as it tackles themes of alcoholism, drug addiction and depression.

The concert scenes have a very dynamic style, and director Cooper relies heavily on the extreme close-up of actors’ faces in the most dramatic moments, so I’d suggest seeing this one on the big screen.

From the opening credits, which don’t include any actors names, but simply a long shot of Gaga strutting away from the camera down the street while the film’s title closes in around her, makes it feel like a classic in the making.

What an achievement for Cooper and Gaga. I think this version of “A Star Is Born” separates itself from earlier tellings of the tale and will be nominated for some Oscars. It may be a little depressing and slow for some, but it is not afraid to tell an emotional story with fierceness and grit. The new music composed for the film may be mediocre overall, but Gaga’s final sung moments will bring you to tears. I think we will be seeing more of Gaga on the big screen in the future.

Only one trick in Greengrass’ wheelhouse in Netflix’s ‘22 July’ 22 July (R) ★★★★

BY MICHAEL CLARK Movie Critic

Before, during and after the far more lucrative and audience-friendly “Jason Borne” flicks, British writer/ director Paul Greengrass occupied his time with smaller, low-budget art films, fully or

partly based on real-life strife or tragedy.

Employing Greengrass’ trademark jittery and frequently annoying handheld camera work, “22 July” shoots for a “you are there” documentary feel, which some people feel is more authentic. The problem is, this is the only trick in his wheelhouse and feels like a creative and narrative crutch.

On July 22, 2011, Norwegian native and far-right

political extremist Anders Behring Breivik (Anders Danielsen Lie) parked a bomb-carrying van under a government building awning in Oslo which killed eight.

He then traveled to the island of Utoya, where he mowed down 69 with gunfire, most of them teenagers at summer camp. In addition to the 77 dead, there were over 200 additional injuries — most of them severe — and the permanent horror inflicted on

Had Greengrass brought “22 July” in at around 90 or so minutes — as he did with the 9/11/2001-based “United 93” — the film would have been far better, if not easier to take, but instead he delivers a marathon-length 143 minutes which test the patience of even the most forgiving viewer.

Sandel’s ‘Goosebumps 2’ is more a treat than a trick Goosebumps 2: Haunted Halloween (PG) HHHH

By Jon Gallo Staff Correspondent

From left, Madison Iseman, Jeremy Ray Taylor and Caleel Harris star in Columbia Pictures’ “Goosebumps 2: Haunted Halloween.” (Special Photo: Columbia Pictures)

and all hell breaks loose.

Sam and Sonny team with Sonny’s older sister, Sarah (Madison Iseman), to battle the monsters, who are led by Slappy. At just 90 minutes, the film moves quickly, as it should since it is based on a children’s book.

Sandel makes some good choices by adding veteran stars Ken Jeong (“Crazy Rich Asians”) and Wendi Mclendon-Covey (“Bridesmaids”) to complement a young cast.

Jack Black returns as Stine and gives a good, but not memorable, performance and it’s a bit awkward since he also provides the voice of Slappy. The film isn’t even Black’s best work this month, as he’s much better as Jonathan Barnavelt in “The House with a Clock in Its Walls,” which is in theaters.

If nothing else, “Goosebumps 2: Haunted Halloween” tries to be creative. Its monsters are unique, from Slappy to the army of ravenous Gummy Bears who attack Sam and his friends.

The significance of

“Goosebumps 2: Haunted Halloween” can’t go unnoticed, as it is Sony Pictures’ attempt to capitalize by using science fiction as a driving force in a scary movie. After all, it worked for “It” to the tune of $700 million at the box office last year, and Netflix has turned “Stranger Things” into a worldwide franchise.

But make no mistake, “Goosebumps 2: Haunted Halloween” is by no means a scary movie. It has some childish and rude humor, but not the violence that will hit the screen when Myers returns later this month for yet another — and perhaps final — “Halloween” movie opposite Jamie Lee Curtis.

“Goosebumps 2: Haunted Halloween” fills the muchneeded void during a month in which Hollywood steps up its violence, from “Hell Fest” to “Halloween.”

“Haunted Halloween” isn’t the best treat of the season, but it’s a little bit better than its predecessor, which makes it a treat worth taking.

Move over, Michael Myers — you have company this Halloween.

Myers, the fictional psychotic killer of the “Halloween” franchise, has some company during fright night: “Goosebumps 2: Haunted Halloween,” the sequel to the 2015 smash hit that brought R.L. Stine’s book to the big screen.

While Myers has killed dozens since murdering his sister in the franchise’s first film in 1978, “Goosebumps” has killed it at the bookstore and the box office. Stine’s epic “Goosebumps” series — a collection of 62 novels — has sold more than 400 million copies worldwide. When the book was turned into a movie in 2015, it grossed more than $150 million worldwide on just a $58 million budget.

Director Ari Sandel replaced Rob Letterman for the second round of this comedic adventure in which a bunch of buddies try to save the world from a gang of monsters led by the devious Slappy, a sinister ventriloquist dummy.

This time, Sam (Caleel Harris) and Sonny (Jeremy Ray Taylor) find a mysterious book, which turns out to be Stine’s “Haunted Halloween,” in an abandoned house. All of a sudden, monsters jump out of the pages
