William Tunchez

Three local teens have been charged in the murder of a 21-yearold Lawrenceville man who was found dead behind a Suwanee home last week.

On Monday, Franecha Torres, 17, of Norcross; Nicholas Evans, 17,

of Suwanee; and Khalil Miller, 18, also of Suwanee, were charged with felony murder and armed robbery for the shooting death of William Tunchez, according to Cpl. Michele Pihera, spokeswoman for the Gwinnett County Police Department.

Pihera said detectives believe the motive for the murder was robbery, something Tunchez’s friends said

they suspected may be the case, given he had stopped by the bank when he left home on the evening of Oct. 7, a day before his body was discovered by neighborhood children on Northcliff Drive in Suwanee.

“He went and picked up his little brother from soccer, dropped him Franecha Torres

Man sentenced to life 14 years after girlfriend’s death

bond at the jail since his extradition.

More than 14 years after Acstabbing his girlfriend to cording to death, a Norcross man has the DA’s been brought to justice, office, Nicolas sentenced to life in prison HerminioHerminiofor his crimes.

Reyes Reyes Last week, a Gwinnett murdered County jury found 43-year- Carmona sometime between old Nicolas Herminio-Reyes July 31 and Aug. 1, 2004, guilty of felony murder, while her family hosted a murder and aggravated asbirthday party in the apartsault in the death of Norment Herminio-Reyes, cross resident Sadot Ozuna Carmona and several other Carmona, according to a family members shared.

Gwinnett County District “During the birthday Attorney’s Office news party, the victim’s family release. had witnessed the victim Herminio-Reyes was smash a beer bottle against booked into the Gwinnett the defendant’s head,” the County Jail in January news release said. “The 2017 after being extradited victim told the defendant to Gwinnett from Santa to leave the apartment; she Clara County in California, did not want to be with him the Daily Post previously anymore. … The defendant reported. did not leave, but kept going He has been held without in and out of the apartment isabel.hughes @gwinnettdailypost.com

that night.”

After the bottle incident, Carmona retreated to her bedroom, the DA’s office said, and didn’t come out.

Family members did not become concerned until the next morning when they saw that Carmona’s car, which Herminio-Reyes had a key to, was missing from the apartment’s parking lot. “(Carmona’s) nephew and another family member discovered that her door was locked,” the news release said. “The people with keys to her door were the victim and the defendant. The victim’s nephew forced the door open. The nephew and his uncle found the victim dead on her bed. She had been wrapped in a green and white blanket with her feet propped up on the wall.”

Carmona had been stabbed in the chest, neck and lip, with the chest wound measuring six inches

deep. It had pierced her heart and broken her ribs.

A knife with a blade more than 10 inches long was found under her arm.

Though the room was in disarray with items strewn around, very little of Carmona’s property was taken; police found around $1,200 in her bedroom in her purse and shorts, the DA’s office said.

“The victim was naked from the waist down, with her bloody underwear balled up on the floor and bloodied shorts found on the bed,” the DA’s office said. “There were no signs that the victim had struggled. An autopsy (was) performed on the victim and a rape kit completed by the medical examiner.”

Herminio-Reyes soon became investigators’ main suspect, though he was nowhere to be found until 2016, when he was arrested in California for child cru-

elty charges, the DA’s office said.

“As a result of the arrest, the defendant’s DNA was taken by California authorities and the DNA profile obtained a hit,” the release said. “Upon being informed that the defendant may have been located, (investigators) flew to California to obtain a DNA sample from the Defendant and to verify his identity.”

Thanks to the additional DNA samples, the Georgia Bureau of Investigation was able to compare HerminioReyes’ genetic profile to the rape kit DNA, which matched.

Herminio-Reyes’ DNA was also found on the handle of the knife, and he was charged with the three felonies, all of which he was convicted of in last week’s trial.

During the four-day trial, Carmona’s nephew testified

that Herminio-Reyes had threatened to kill Carmona, the DA’s office said.

Herminio-Reyes’ wife, who had married HerminioReyes in Mexico in 2005 and moved to California with him in 2006, also testified to “acts of domestic violence that he had committed against her” and said that when she tried to talk to Herminio-Reyes about a divorce in 2014, HerminioReyes had “chased her and thrown her into the bathroom, trying to throw her into the toilet tank,” a news release said.

“During her testimony, the defendant’s wife was clearly terrified of the Defendant and would not look at him,” the DA’s office said.

“The jury deliberated after which they found the defendant guilty of all charges.”

Gwinnett County Superior Court Judge Warren Davis presided over the trial.

According to officials, during the incident the Airport Authority at Briscoe Field closed the runway but other airport operations were not affected. The FAA and NTSB were notified of the incident and the aircraft was released to the Airport Authority for removal. An inspector from the FAA is responding to evaluate the wreckage.

FAA spokeswoman Kathleen Bergen said the NTSB is leading the investigation into the crash.

The NTSB usually releases preliminary reports on accidents about two weeks after they happen, according to a spokesman for the agency.

have therapy seven days a week.”

That intensity of rehab, however, is what makes all the difference in a patient’s recovery, as well as the technology Glancy uses, said Dr. Sunil Bhole, who helped open the rehabilitation center in 1988.

“We just acquired an exoskeleton, which is the latest robotic technology that we’ll be using for our spinal injury (patients) or our brain injury and stroke population,” Bhole said.

“We also have state-of-theart equipment in the gym and other rehabilitation technology, but a lot of rehabilitation is about that one-on-one — the personnel and the staff and the expertise.”

Many staff members have been with the rehabilitation center for 20 to 25 years, Bhole said, something Stewart said made her choose Glancy.

“The people are so sweet; it’s like a community,” she said. “I remember when I worked (at Glancy) — from 1995 to 2000, I actually worked as an ultrasound tech down the street but would come up here and scan patients — I was just amazed at all the people that were from here who worked here.

It just felt like a sweet hospital, so when it came time to talk about my own rehab, my family was like, ‘We need to get you to Piedmont or Northside,’

and I said, ‘No, I’m going to Glancy; it’s right up the street and I know these people,’ so it was a nobrainer.”

In the decade since her recovery at Glancy, Stewart has stayed involved with the center, now volunteering with its peer visitor program, an opportunity for stroke patients to visit, one-on-one, with stroke survivors.

“The program is key,” Stewart said. “We go and learn how to talk to patients so that when a family comes in, they can talk to somebody that’s been through it. I have walked in and so many patients have looked at me and were like ‘what?’ when I say, ‘I was you in that bed 10 years ago.’ I can’t tell you how many people, who, when you get done visiting with them, say, ‘You’ve given me hope.’ That’s the best part — to have that hope.”

As part of the center’s 30th anniversary — and to give current and future patients that hope — Glancy unveiled a Hall of Resilience, which features three patients, one from each of the center’s three decades of existence.

The patients are Stewart, Floyd Perala and Bill Barry.

At 43 years old, with no risk factors and generally in good health, the last thing ultrasound technician Karen Stewart expected was to suffer a stroke.

“One night, I had a really bad migraine, so I went to the Gwinnett Medical Center Emergency Room because I knew there was something different,” Stewart said. “They did a CAT scan and said it was negative and that I could go home or come back in the morning for an MRI. It hurt so bad that I was just like, admit me and that way I’ll get (tested) faster in the morning. They came in early in the morning and did an ultrasound and saw I had a clotted carotid artery and rushed me to the MRI — that’s when I had the stroke. I lost the whole left side (of my body).”

That was 2008.

Now, 10 years later, Stewart walks, talks and acts like any other healthy, 53-year-old mother of two, something she largely credits to Glancy Rehabilitation Center, which celebrated its 30th anniversary Tuesday.

“It’s just so exciting to be celebrating 30 years of serving this community,” said Glancy Director Mona Lippitt. “The Joan Glancy Clinic opened in 1941 and then the Joan Glancy Memorial Hospital opened in ‘44. Then in 1988, the Glancy Rehabilitation Center opened its doors as a six- or seven-bed facility.”

The facility has grown significantly in the last 30 years, now offering 30 beds and serving more than 650 patients annually, Lippitt said.

“When I first started here 25 years ago, a patient’s average length of stay was one and a half to two months,” she said.

“The average length of stay today is 14 days. Our patients come to us pretty acute and rehab quickly; in order to come to inpatient rehab, the patient has to participate in three hours of therapy a day, and we

Best diet for Gilbert syndrome DEAR DR. ROACH: I am blessed to be a very healthy 63-year-old woman. I am a vegetarian who eats fish occasionally. I take 600 mg of calcium a day, along with 1 mg folic acid for thalassemia minor. I exercise every day. I sleep well. I feel great and am full of energy.

I have diverticulosis due to pockets in my colon, but I have never had an attack. The doctor told me to start taking a fiber supplement. All of my doctors also told me what foods to avoid. I do that now. I also found out that, based on my bilirubin numbers and an ultrasound, I have Gilbert syndrome.

I have asked my doctors over the years if there is anything else I need to do to stay healthy. They normally say, “Keep doing what you are doing!” Any additional advice, Dr. Roach? Regarding the Gilbert syndrome, are there certain foods I should avoid, and could I end up with gallbladder problems?

— S.M. ANSWER: Gilbert syndrome is a genetic defect in the metabolism of bilirubin, a bile salt. It normally has no symptoms, and is detected due to abnormally high levels of bilirubin in the blood.

People with this condition are at higher risk for developing gallstones.

This is particularly an issue for you, since you also have thalassemia minor. The thalassemias are a group of diseases related to abnormalities in the hemoglobin protein. Alpha thalassemia minor affects the alpha hemoglobin chain, and beta thalassemia minor, naturally enough, affects the beta chain.

Alpha thalassemia minor is a mild disease, usually noted by abnormal blood counts but may occasionally have symptoms of mild anemia, whereas beta thalassemia minor normally has no symptoms at all. However, the blood cells of people with even these minor abnormalities are more likely to break apart, which causes the body to break down hemoglobin, one result of which is increased bilirubin. So you have two reasons for high bilirubin and a higher likelihood of gallstones than someone with either condition.

There are other risks for gallstones. Being overweight is a risk, but so is rapid weight loss.

Your diet choices have protected you. Only meat products contain cholesterol, which also increases risk for gallstones.

Not eating cholesterol is protective.

High dietary fat is also bad for gallstones, but most vegetarians eat relatively little fat. I suspect this is a reason you haven’t had any problems in your first 63 years.

Fiber, which is certainly good for people with diverticulosis, is also good for preventing gallstones.

So, I echo your previous doctors: Keep doing what you’re doing.

Dear Amy: I was annoyed by “Too Old for Drama’s” proclamation that because she is “a very strong, independent woman,” she has no need for friendship.

I too am a strong, independent woman, with many treasured friends.

Having friends does not make you weak or needy; strength and independence appear in people with three friends, 100 friends or no friends.

No one is obligated to remain friends with someone who takes all the energy and fun from things, but please don’t equate needing companionship with being of weak moral character. It simply isn’t true.

— Good Friend Dear Friend: I also noticed this person’s characterization, and implication that “strong, independent” people don’t necessarily need friendships.

Having and keeping friends is definitely something that strong and independent people do.

The wedding nightmare has begun Dear Amy: My daughter is getting married in a year. The wedding is a long way off, but the nightmares are already beginning.

My daughter isn’t the problem, but my mother is! When I got married my mother informed me it was NOT my wedding, but a celebration she was putting together and therefore she would call all the shots, which she did.

I barely remember any of it because I really wasn’t involved in the planning.

Now she is starting this with my daughter.

We live about 2,000 miles away from my mom, at my husband’s insistence.

My daughter flew there to check out a grad program and stayed with my mom.

While there, mom took her dress shopping and BOUGHT her dress. It is not even something my daughter likes, so I called the shop later, and the dress was canceled.

Right now, my daughter and her fiance want to elope. I’m fine with that but I know my daughter wants a nice wedding with family. I told her that if they want to elope I will support that and we’ll have a HUGE reception when they return.

I feel they are being short-changed, but no one can stand mom’s interference. Trust me, if you knew her, you would know there is no talking to her.

What can we do?

Sheriff: Robber forced employees Breakthrough Discovery: at McDonald’s into refrigerator

Stardust Nutrient Turbocharges Brain Cells NASA discovery on the path to supercharged thinking Researchers have found that a compound called PQQ — first discovered by a NASA probe of space dust — has turned what scientists know about the antioxidant CoQ10 upside-down.

CoQ10 (coenzyme Q10) protects cells from damage and is the “jet fuel” that supercharges a cell’s power generators, known as mitochondria.

But as powerful as CoQ10 is, there’s a critical thing it fails to do. It can’t create new mitochondria in your cells.

Enter PQQ, which has the remarkable ability to do just that.

“I tell my patients the most important thing I can do is increase their ‘health span.’ This is the length of time you can live free of disease and with all your youthful abilities and faculties intact.”

Medical First: Multiply the “Power Generators” in Cells Dr. Sears recently released an energy-boosting supplement based on this NASA nutrient that has become so popular he’s having trouble keeping it in stock.

Science Behind the Power of PQQ Biochemical Pharmacology reports that PQQ is up to 5,000 times more efficient in sustaining energy production than common antioxidants.

“Imagine 5,000 times more efficient energy,” says Dr. Sears. “PQQ has been a game changer for my patients.”

“With the PQQ in Ultra Accel, I have energy I never thought possible,” says Coleene R., one of Dr. Sears’ patients.

“I am in my 70s but feel 40 again. I think clearer, move with real energy and sleep like a baby.”

Now, Dr. Sears has come up with what his peers consider his greatest contribution to anti-aging medicine yet — a newly discovered nutrient that multiplies the number of tiny, energyproducing “engines” located inside the body’s cells, shattering the limitations of traditional CoQ10 supplements.

“I noticed a difference within a few days,” says Jerry. “My endurance almost doubled. But it’s not just in your body. You can feel it mentally, too,” says Jerry. “Not only do I feel a difference, but the way it protects my cells is great insurance against a health disaster as I get older.”

Why Mitochondria Matter

The demand for this supplement is so high, Dr. Sears is having trouble keeping it in stock.

But because of changes in cells, stress and poor diet, most people’s power generators begin to malfunction and die off as they age. In fact, the Mitochondria Research Society reports 50 million U.S. adults are suffering from health problems because of mitochondrial dysfunction.

Common ailments often associated with aging — such as memory problems, heart issues, blood sugar concerns and vision and hearing difficulties — can all be connected to a decrease in mitochondria.

Birth of New Mitochondria Dr. Sears and his researchers combined the most powerful form of CoQ10 available — called ubiquinol — with a unique, newly discovered natural compound called PQQ that has the remarkable ability to grow new mitochondria. Together, the two powerhouses are now available in a supplement called Ultra Accel II. Discovered by a NASA probe in space dust, PQQ (Pyrroloquinoline quinone) stimulates something called “mitochondrial biogenesis” — a unique process that actually boosts the number of healthy mitochondria in your cells.

570549-1

In a study published in the Journal of Nutrition, mice fed PQQ grew a staggering number of new mitochondria, showing an increase of more than 55% in just eight weeks.

arrested TariqMadyun at his Lawrenceville home.

According to Kaleem Tariq-Madyun Freeman, just after 5 a.m., McDonald’s employees called 911 to report the robbery after sneaking out the back of the building.

“FCSO quickly responded and secured the scene,” Freeman said.

“Detectives with the FCSO Major Crimes Unit, acting on keen observations by patrol deputies, were able to develop a potential lead in the robbery. Working non-stop late into the evening, detectives identified a suspect and located him in Lawrenceville.”

Tariq-Madyun was transported to the Forsyth County Jail following his arrest, where he remains without bond.

While no one was hurt in the incident, Tariq-Madyun is facing one count of armed robbery and seven counts of aggravated assault for the alleged crime.

Freeman commended his deputies and their detective work.

“I am extremely proud of the incredible teamwork of our North Precinct patrol deputies and detectives in quickly taking this dangerous suspect off the streets,” he said. “Career criminals need to take notice that Forsyth is not open for their kind of business. Violent crimes are rare in Forsyth and we will work tirelessly to keep it that way.”

Good Ole Off the Grill BBQ

The mice with the strongest mitochondria showed no signs of aging — even when they were the equivalent of 80 years old.

Along with an abundance of newfound energy, users also report a sharper, more focused mind and memory, and even younger-looking skin and hair. Jerry M. from Wellington, Florida, used Ultra Accel and was amazed at the effect.

A single cell in your body can contain between 200 and 2,000 mitochondria, with the largest number found in the most metabolically active cells, like those in your brain, heart and skeletal muscles.

A Lawrenceville man accused of robbing a Forsyth County McDonald’s at gunpoint forced the restaurant’s employees into a refrigerator during the robbery, police said.

Kaleem Tariq-Madyun, 35, was charged with armed robbery and aggravated assault stemming from a Saturday morning incident at the McDonald’s on Keith Bridge Road in north Forsyth, according to Forsyth County Sheriff Ron Freeman.

Later that day, Forsyth County Sheriff’s Office detectives, along with Gwinnett County Police Department officers and the department’s SWAT team,

Could brain-booster nutrient in fat be key?

A

utistic kids on a high-fat, low-carb diet scored higher on assessment tests than did those on a traditional diet, according to a new study by the University of Honolulu and Shriner’s Hospitals for Children team in Hawaii.

That’s big news because high-fat, highprotein diets tend to be also very high in omega-3 sources, and researchers have long felt there was a strong correlation between omega-3 and brain power.

And everyone — young and old — wants to maintain brain fitness throughout their lives.

Yet, many people believe there is nothing that can be done to improve brain power including memory and retention and critical thinking.

But brain power is limitless and expandable, the latest research shows. The key is feeding your brain to unleash its potential. And it’s critical to know what to feed your brain.

Imagine if all it took to drastically improve brain function — to boost mental agility including memory, IQ, and overall brain fitness — was take a “smart pill.”

Does such a pill exist? Well, it turns out there is an essential fatty acid that unlocks your brain’s potential in clinical studies. It’s an omega-3 called DHA, and it’s common in ocean dwellers. But not all DHA is created equal.

DHA — Essential Brain-Booster

Dr. Al Sears, MD, founder and medical director of the Sears Institute for Anti-Aging Medicine, recently released a brain-boosting supplement with a special source of this essential DHA component.

Thousands of people listened to Dr. Sears speak on his antiaging breakthroughs and attended his book signing at the event.

Multiple Studies With Shocking Results DHA has been the topic of studies for some time. One study found it doubled the memory and cognitive function of 430 patients in just 24 weeks. Another study, published in the journal Neurology, found it not only stopped age-related brain shrinkage in more than 1,000 seniors, it even boosted brain size, especially in the brain’s memory center.

Researchers at a prestigious California university analyzed brain scans from 265 seniors who took this smart pill and compared the group to the placebo and found on average, this made their brains 28 years younger. And that was with just a single weekly dose.

One of Dr. Sears’ patients from West Palm Beach, Florida, was very concerned when his memory started slipping. “I was worried when I started blanking out on things that used to be routine.

available as it used to be, not even in fish oil or fish.

The Search For Better DHA So Dr. Sears went looking for better, more concentrated sources of omega-3 DHA. And he found it where nobody else was looking... at the bottom of the earth.

Krill are tiny shrimp-like creatures that swim in huge biomasses in the pure, cold waters near the South Pole.

Nature magazine hails them as the basic source of energy for almost all marine life in the world’s oceans.

It turns out that DHA found in krill oil is able to penetrate into nearly every cell in your body in a far superior way than fish oil.

In a study published in Nutrition Research, krill oil, fish oil and olive oil were compared to see which one raised omega-3 levels higher.

Seventy-six people took 2 grams of krill oil, fish oil or olive oil every day for four weeks — then their omega-3 levels were tested. The results were surprising, to say the least.

Those taking olive oil saw their omega-3s rise 2.9%. Those taking fish oil saw their omega-3s rise 131.8%. But those taking krill oil saw their omega-3s skyrocket 178.4%.

That’s 30% MORE omega-3s absorbed from krill oil than from fish oil!

Second Source Of Rare, Potent DHA Omega Rejuvenol also includes a second unique source of omega-3. The Argentinian squid thrives by the billions in the icy, pure waters off the tip of South America.

What got Dr. Sears’ attention is this mighty mollusk is loaded with DHA. “After this special squid oil is processed, it delivers more than 65% DHA — the highest concentration of DHA ever achieved in natural medicine,” said Dr. Sears.

DHA is a lifesaver because every one of your cells has built-in receptors that absorb it, and every one of your cells craves it.

Fueling your body with high levels of DHA can do wonders for your health, and your brain in particular.

With this first-ever combination, you can flood every cell in your brain with the world’s most powerful “nootropic” and get the full range of brain-boosting benefits it has to offer.

Where To Find Omega Rejuvenol Right now, the only way to get this powerful one-two punch for a sharp memory and brain-boosting benefits is with Dr. Sears’ breakthrough Omega Rejuvenol formula.

world&nation World May to address E.U. leaders; Tusk warns of no-deal Brexit

British Prime Minister Theresa May will face E.U. leaders today in a critical summit, as European Council President Donald Tusk warned of an increased risk that Britain would crash out of the bloc without a deal.

Talks over the weekend stalled over the thorny issue of the Irish border. The European Union wants the U.K. to agree a indefinite “backstop” or fallback position that would ensure an open border between Northern Ireland, which will be outside the E.U., and the Republic of Ireland, which will remain an E.U. member state.

A source familiar with the talks told CNN that negotiators had been very close to a draft agreement, but that it was killed in London by May, who wants any backstop to be time-limited.

China defends Uyghur camps and Xinjiang crackdown China has defended an escalating crackdown in the far western province of Xinjiang as necessary for security, claiming inmates of “re-education camps” are happier following their imprisonment.

In the most vocal defense yet of the mass internment of the mostly Muslim Uyghur minority group, Shohrat Zakir, a high-ranking Xinjiang government official, told state media the Chinese government was fighting “terrorism and extremism” in its own way, and in accordance with United Nations resolutions.

“Today’s Xinjiang is not only beautiful but also safe and stable. No matter where they are or at what time of the day, people are no longer afraid of going out, shopping, dining and traveling,” he told state-run news agency Xinhua on Tuesday.

Daniels’ lawsuit dismissed

Trump entitled to attorneys’ fees, amount to be determined

By Kate Sullivan CNN

A federal judge has dismissed adult film star Stormy Daniels’ defamation lawsuit against President Donald Trump.

Daniels sued Trump after he said in a tweet that her story of a man threatening her not to come forward with her story of her alleged affair with Trump was “a total con job.”

Daniels argued Trump’s tweet, posted April 18, “attacks the veracity of her account” of the incident and that Trump’s statement was “false and defamatory, and that the tweet was defamation … because it charged her with committing a serious crime,” District Judge S. James Otero wrote in his opinion Monday.

Trump had asked Otero to dismiss the lawsuit.

“The Court agrees with Mr. Trump’s argument because the tweet in question constitutes ‘rhetorical hyperbole’ normally associated with politics and public discourse in the United States. The First Amendment protects this type of rhetorical statement,” Otero wrote.

In addition to dismissing the lawsuit, Otero ruled Trump is entitled to attorneys’ fees.

That efficiency is an inherent part of the new station, Knick said.

“One of the things that this facility did is it looked at our training facility and used some of those (designs),” he said.

“Also, we reduced some of the size by looking at what we needed. For (example), a lot of our stations have community rooms, and while those are great, we felt like in this area, we had enough of that (community aspect) surrounding us that we didn’t need to add

In total, the new station cost $4.46 million, which was funded by special purpose local option sales tax dollars.

While it cost a large sum of money, the new station is worth it, both for the safety of county residents and for Gwinnett’s economic interests, said District 4 Commissioner John Heard.

“The county will do everything it can to make (the county seat) thrive, because when Lawrenceville thrives, the county thrives, and we (want) to make Gwinnett the best place to do business in the universe,” Heard said.

“This station will do (that) and continue to make Gwinnett a great place to live and do business.”

Lawsuit

•From Page 1A Justice-Atlanta filed the lawsuit against the county and Kemp late Monday.

The suit is a response to Gwinnett County elections officials’ decision to reject hundreds of absentee mail-in ballots because of various issues, including missing information or signatures that did not match the ones county officials had on file.

The civil rights groups want the U.S. District court for the Northern District of Georgia to let them have

until three days after the Nov. 6 general election to prove their identity or to get an expedited hearing to resolve the matter.

“Although the stakes of this case are high, the requested remedy is minimal, as it simply adapts the above existing procedures to the voters at issue here,” the groups said in their lawsuit.

The latest suit is one of two suits filed in federal court over Gwinnett’s absentee ballots in the last week.

tary of state’s website show more than 400 of the absentee ballots that have been returned have been rejected.

About 23,861 absentee by mail ballots were requested, according to records, which were forwarded by Gwinnett County officials to the Daily Post.

County spokesman Joe Sorenson said the county has complied with laws governing the handling of ballots.

“The county is committed to a process that protects the voting rights of all of its citizens and fully

complies with the law in the process,” he said.

News that the absentee ballots were being rejected came on the heels of an Associated Press report which said 53,000 voter registrations were on hold because of an “exact match” issue where officials said there were discrepencies between the address listed on a person’s voter registration file and addresses they had on file for other services, such as drivers licenses.

The AP report prompted a separate federal lawsuit against Kemp.

Archer junior Ffrench adds energy in her third season

By David Friedlander david.friedlander@gwinnettdailypost.com

As Brookwood (6-1, 3-0) prepares for its showdown for the Region 7-AAAAAAA lead with No. 3 stateranked Parkview (7-0, 3-0) on Friday night at Brookwood Community Stadium, the status of starting quarterback Conner Chavis remains up in the air.

The 6-foot, 180-pound senior has started the Broncos’ previous seven games this season, but was knocked out of the game in the first quarter of Friday night’s 42-7 win over Central Gwinnett after being sacked by Black Knights linebacker Aubrey Smith.

Senior Griffin Jamison came on to help guide the Brookwood offense most of the night, completing just 1 of 3 passes for 3 yards, while sophomore Jack Spyke also saw action late in the game, also completing 1 of 3 passes, but for 5 yards, and added a 4-yard run.

Brookwood coach Philip Jones would not comment on the exact nature of Chavis’ injury, and said it likely would

There is Kyla Ffrench on the volleyball court: energetic, vocal, positive. Then there’s Ffrench in everyday life: pensive, thoughtful and a little shy.

The shy but attentive Ffrench was the dominant persona when she was a freshman on the Archer High School varsity team. Ffrench never stepped on any toes.

She was receptive to former varsity head coach Ann-Marie Cobb and the teams’ leaders and upperclassmen. As a sophomore, she became more vocal, and her presence during matches and between points was more evident.

The chemistry Ffrench has developed with her teammates this season is one of the most improved aspects of Archer’s varsity team from 2017 to 2018, she said.

It’s helped Archer sharpen its continuity as players sub in and out, and the team’s sense of awareness — knowing where the setter is or where the best pass is — and some of the unspoken communication seems seamless.

“We have lots of new people on the team, so we’ve had to develop chemistry quickly,” Ffrench said. “It’s just working together and knowing they can trust their teammates.”

In Ffrench’s third year on the Archer varsity squad, her experience and maturity shows, according to her coaches. There are a few things the Archer volleyball team can always count on when Ffrench is on the court, her focus and on-court demeanor will be steady and consistent throughout the match. It’s the same when the Tigers are enjoying an exciting run — like the run that led the Tigers to the championship match in the silver bracket of the Gwinnett County volleyball tournament in late September —

Wilson retires as Peachtree Ridge softball coach

By Will Hammock

will.hammock @gwinnettdailypost.com

Bubba Wilson, the man who built the Peachtree Ridge fastpitch softball program from its infancy,

announced his retirement as head coach Monday with plans to ease into retirement.

The 64-year-old has coached softball at the Suwanee high school since it opened in 2003, serving

as assistant coach for one season before becoming head coach. He also was head baseball coach at Peachtree Ridge for seven seasons before a heart issue prompted him to scale back his duties.

Wilson plans to spend one more year in education before full retirement, serving as the Lions’ golf coach for the 2019-20 school year.

“I’ve been kind of debating for a little while,

either it would be this year or next year (to retire from softball),” Wilson said. “I’m getting to that 32-year thing (in education). … I just confirmed some things this year that this was going to be the

OFFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK

DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK

Who: Parkview’s Cody Brown Position: Running back Class: Sophomore Highlights: Rushed five times for 96 yards and three touchdowns in a victory over Berkmar Coach Eric Godfree’s take: “Cody Brown has been tough on defenses all year. He’s big, fast and hard to tackle.

He’s scored a lot of TDs for us. Cody is a great running back for us with tremendous skills, and he’s an even better person. He has a 4.0 GPA and serves at our park every weekend. He loves his teammates and community.”

Who: Duluth’s Logan Goins Position: Defensive back/running back Class: Senior Highlights: Returned an interception 93 yards for a touchdown, scored on a 9-yard TD run and had a 44-yard kickoff return in the program’s first victory over Peachtree Ridge in varsity football Coach Bob Swank’s take: “Logan Goins is a playmaker in all three phases of the game. Peachtee Ridge was on the verge of going up 9-0 and Logan’s interception and return turned the momentum of the game in one play. Later, he added an offensive TD and a big kickoff return, as well. He is a team leader who serves as a team captain. He leads by example in the classroom, as well, where he maintains a 3.2 GPA.”

Getting To Know … Clinton Womack Clinton Womack has long shown an ability to adapt to new situations.

It has been a trademark of his from his days as a track and basketball standout at Central Gwinnett up to his graduation in 2004, to his track career at Xavier University, and now having returned to his alma mater as head girls cross country coach and a assistant on the Black Knights boys program, as well as both track and field programs and the boys basketball program. Womack, who won a state championship in the 800-meter run his senior year at Central, recently spoke with staff writer David Friedlander about some of the biggest adjustments he’s had to make, including running distances, adjusting to life up north in college and being a pioneer at Xavier.

DF: So you were a two-sport athlete when you went to school at Central. Just by looking at your size, I get the feeling basketball may have been your first sport.

CW: I always had a passion for basketball.

That’s my first love and my first sport. Running is what got me to college. I got a scholarship to Xavier, so I was like ‘That’s what’s going to work for me.’

DF: You told me earlier that some of your track coaches initially tried to convince you to try the jumping events, which I imagine comes from your basketball skill set. How did you wind up running middle distances?

CW: I was just more of a natural 400, 800 and cross country runner. It was just a natural fit. My father was a collegiate runner, as well. So it’s kind of in my family and in my blood. So it just kind of worked out that way. I was more a natural runner than anything else.

DF: Of course, high school cross country is only a 5K race. I saw in your bio on Xavier’s website that you ran the 10,000 meters at least one year there. Bumping up from cross country and only running as much as 1,600 meters in high school had to have been a huge adjustment for you, no?

CW: In high school, I actually placed eighth at state my senior year in cross country. So I guess it’s one of those natural things where I had the capacity to run longer distances. So it was a nice combination of being able to run longer, but I had the … muscles to be able to sprint at the end, as well. But mainly, in college, the reason we ran the 10K was collegiately when they run regionals (in cross country), it’s 10,000 meters. But on

the track, I never ran it. It was mostly 400 and 800.

DF: Was college the first time you’d ever run that long a distance?

CW: Yeah, (and) it was definitely tougher. It was something that I had to get used to. College running, in general, I had to get used to. My first couple of workouts were really hard for me trying to get adjusted to. … But by my junior and senior years, I got pretty good at it. I was one of our top runners. … But yeah, it was an adjustment, but I had good coaching in college.

DF: I have to think you bring that up to the kids you coach, right?

CW: Absolutely. The nice thing is that I always tell them that student comes before athlete.

First. you’ve got to take care of the classroom.

Obviously with sports, it’s one of those things where … if you’re not willing to put the work in, you’re not going to get the results you want.

So being able to share the fact that I was an athlete when I was in college and I knew what I had to do and what you have to go through to make it to that level, it does help me a lot with the kids I’m coaching.

DF: Of course, not all of the adjustments you had to make were on the track or the course.

Were you familiar at all with the Cincinnati area before you went to Xavier? That had to be a big adjustment having grown up around Lawrenceville.

CW: It was definitely tougher. Little known fact about Xavier. They didn’t really have a running program when I first got there. They had a cross country program, but not necessarily a track program. So I was actually the first AfricanAmerican they had to run track at Xavier at that time. But it was definitely an adjustment. My first winter, I didn’t go to class

that first time (it snowed) because I thought school was cancelled. I was like, “Oh, it’s a snow day, right?” And they’re like, “No, we still have class.”

I was like, “Well I’m not going because where I’m from, it’s a snow day.’

DF: I’m sure that went over really well with your coaches.

CW: I emailed everybody and I’m like, ‘Hey guys, I don’t have the (warm) clothes for this.

So I’m going to end up freezing.’ It was definitely an adjustment trying to figure out how to adjust to the winters. They don’t have a whole lot of summertime and warm weather in Cincinnati.

It’s pretty much winter 10 months out of the year.

But it was definitely an adjustment, but I loved it.

I loved every minute of being at Xavier. It was the best four years of my life.

DF: Let’s go back a second to something you brought up. You were the first AfricanAmerican runner at Xavier? Being the first of anything has got to be pretty special, but that has to be particularly special for you, right?

CW: It was really weird because that running program was so brand new, and they didn’t have a whole lot of funding for it. It wasn’t a big program. Not like what it is now with Big East (conference) funding. When I first got there, it was (basically) just me on the team.

DF: Which brings up the question of scholarships. Were you on full scholarship back then or partial?

CW: By the end of my four years, I was on full scholarship. I was partial for a while.

DF: That had to be really tough because on partial scholarship, you have to come up with at least part of the cost of your education. And that can’t be cheap at a private school like Xavier.

CW: Yeah. I tell my kids all the time (that) I ran cross country and track, so that was a parttime job. I worked 10 hours a week and took 18 hours of classes. So I was constantly busy. It was definitely an adjustment getting use to managing my time, for sure.

DF: So even as busy a schedule as you now have as a teacher and coach, that might seem like a breeze compared to those days, no?

CW: Yeah, it definitely has helped me as a teacher because you have to be able to adjust on the fly. You’ve got to be able to juggle so many things at once. I’m used to being busy. I’m actually better when I’m busy.

DF: And even though your head coaching job is in cross country, you’re still getting a taste of coaching basketball while on Emmett Rouse’s staff.

CW: Oh yeah, absolutely. I’m ninth-grade coach and assistant JV, assistant varsity. I get a little bit of everything.

DF: Out of everything you’ve experienced as a student, an athlete and now a teacher and a coach, what are you most proud of?

CW: Honestly, I’m most proud of coming from Central. Unfortunately sometimes, Central gets a bad rap. The community is great and the kids are great. They just need that extra push and extra love every now and then. So I’m most proud that I could put Central on the (cross country and track) map when I did.

At the time, especially for running, we weren’t really known for running or cross country. We had a couple of sprinters here and there, but as far as distance runners, it was the Parkviews, the Brookwoods, all those guys. So it was nice to be able to get up there and compete with those guys and be able to be one of the top runners in the state.

Almirola takes race New England cuts off dominated by SHR K.C.’s undefeated start NFL ROUNDUP

Field Level Media

For three-plus hours on Sunday afternoon, the only question surrounding the 1000Bulbs.com 500 Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series race at Talladega (Ala.) Superspeedway appeared to concern which Stewart-Haas Racing driver would get the victory.

The answer came back: Aric Almirola, the SHR driver who needed it the most.

The overtime victory was his first of the season and came at a great time as it locked him into the next round of the Cup playoffs.

“That was so awesome,” Almirola shouted. “At Talladega. I’ve been so close so many times this year.

“Four or five times this year I felt like we had a shot to win but haven’t been able to seal the deal.”

Teammate Clint Bowyer finished second, and Ricky Stenhouse Jr. of Roush Fenway Racing was third.

Stewart-Haas’ driver foursome of pole-sitter Kurt Busch, Kevin Harvick, Bowyer and Almirola started the race in the top four spots. They stayed that way though stages 1 and 2, winning both (Busch the first and Harvick the second).

The final stage saw the four — who spent most of the race using nose-to-tail teamwork at the 2.66-mile restrictor-plate track — challenged.

A caution with 29 laps to go set up a restart and a chance to split up the SHR foursome. But the StewartHaas drivers orchestrated themselves to nose to tail at the front of the preferred inside line. For the next

26 laps, they pulled away from the rest of the field.

But with three laps to go, out came a caution to set up an overtime finish and another restart. Before that restart, Harvick, who had led 46 laps, had to pit for fuel. Busch, who led 108 laps, was in the lead, but then he ran out of fuel on the final lap.

“I was trying to do what I could to manage the fuel, and there was two missed calls by NASCAR there at the end,” Busch said. “Why an extra yellow-flag lap there at the end is beyond me. The track was ready to go. … There’s rules that need to be stricter at the end of these races.”

That left it up to Almirola, and he came through.

“I came to the track with a mindset that we were going to go race and were going to give them hell and if we wreck, we wreck, if we win, we win,” said Almirola, who joins Chase Elliott as bearers of automatic Round of 8 berths.

“And we won.”

“The four of us (SHR drivers) were so committed

to each other and so organized, the field couldn’t touch us. What an impressive run by Stewart-Haas Racing. I’m just proud to be the one on top today.”

Bowyer added, “Great day for Stewart-Haas. I’m just so happy and proud to be in those cars on a day like today. That was the easiest Talladega of my life and it was because of the rocket ships they brought us to race.”

The event was the second in the three-race Round of 12 in the playoffs. The field of drivers eligible to win the 2018 championship will be cut down to eight following next weekend’s race at Kansas Speedway.

After Almirola and Elliott, the rest of the top eight of the standings, in order, is Harvick, Kyle Busch, Joey Logano, Kurt Busch, Bowyer and Martin Truex Jr. Brad Keselowski is 18 points back, Ryan Blaney, is 22 points back, Kyle Larson trails by 26 points, and Alex Bowman faces a 68-point deficit.

From a handling stand-

point, the No. 78 Furniture Row Racing Toyota of defending Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series champion Martin Truex Jr. was pure evil on Sunday at Talladega.

Truex fought the car from the outset, and no amount of tinkering by his crew on pit road could define and fix the problem. Truex had no choice but to run in the back of the field and try to stay out of trouble.

The only breaks he got came late — a caution that gave him a chance to come to pit road for new tires for a two-lap overtime and his deft avoidance of serious damage in a Turn 1 wreck on the final lap.

Truex salvaged a 23rdplace finish, ahead of fellow playoff contenders Brad Keselowski and Ryan Blaney, who had to pit for fuel before the last restart. As a result, eighth-place Truex heads for next Sunday’s Round of 12 elimination race at Kansas Speedway 18 points ahead of ninth-place Keselowski and 22 ahead of 10th-place Blaney.

“It didn’t really matter what we did to the car,” Truex said. “(The problem) didn’t go away. We tried a lot of stuff. It was tough to drive.

It couldn’t even go straight.

I could run hard for two or three laps. As soon as the tires got some air pressure, I was just hanging on. The longer the runs were, the worse it got.

“There was no chance of me just getting up there and racing. I wanted to.

Luckily, we were able to get some tires there in the end.

I could go for about three laps. I felt good going to the green-white-checkered. They wrecked in front of us, and we barely made it through.

As soon as we got through there, I was able to salvage something.”

Tom Brady passed for 340 yards, and the New England Patriots got a 28-yard field goal from Stephen Gostkowski as time expired Sunday night to beat the Chiefs 43-40 at Foxborough, Mass., dumping Kansas City from the unbeaten ranks.

Matched against a firstyear starter, Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, Brady led the Patriots on a game-winning drive in the final three minutes.

His 39-yard strike to tight end Rob Gronkowski gave New England (4-2) a goalto-go situation in the final seconds.

The win was the 200th in the regular season for Brady as a starting quarterback. Sony Michel added 106 rushing yards for New England.

Mahomes countered with 352 yards passing, going 23 of 36 with four touchdowns and two interceptions for the Chiefs (5-1).

Rams 32, Broncos 20 Todd Gurley rushed for two touchdowns and a career-best 208 yards on 28 carries as Los Angeles remained undefeated, holding on for a victory at Denver. The Rams improved to 6-0, their best start since the 2001 St. Louis Rams won their first six games on their way to a berth in Super Bowl XXXVI. Rams quarterback Jared Goff completed 14 of 28 passes for 201 yards but did not have a TD pass, posting modest numbers during one of the coldest October games in Broncos’ history. With temperatures at 23 degrees at kickoff, it was the coldest October game at Denver since 1969.

Broncos quarterback Case Keenum was 25 of 41 for 322 yards and two touchdowns with one interception. Denver dropped its fourth consecutive game after opening the season 2-0. Broncos wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders caught seven passes for 115 yards and a touchdown.

Ravens 21, Titans 0 Baltimore set a franchise record with 11 sacks, one sack shy of the NFL record, and Alex Collins scored two touchdowns as Baltimore shut out Tennessee in Nashville, Tenn.

The Ravens (4-2) outgained the Titans 361-106.

Tennessee (3-3) converted just one of 10 third downs, and all nine of its possessions ended in punts.

Joe Flacco completed 25 of 37 passes for 238 yards, one interception and a touchdown pass to Michael Crabtree, who had six catches for 93 yards. Collins finished with 54 yards on 19 carries.

Ben Roethlisberger threw a 31-yard touchdown pass to Antonio Brown with 10 seconds remaining for the game-winning score to lift Pittsburgh to victory in Cincinnati.

Cincinnati (4-2), which has now lost to Pittsburgh seven straight times, including playoff matchups, took a 21-20 lead with 1:18 remaining on a 4-yard touchdown run by Joe Mixon, but the Bengals left too much time for the Steelers (3-2-1).

Roethlisberger was 32-of-46 passing for 369 yards to lead Pittsburgh, while Andy Dalton was 26-of-42 for 229 yards and two touchdowns for the Bengals.

Cowboys 40, Jaguars 7 Quarterback Dak Prescott threw for two touchdowns and ran for a third as host Dallas Cowboys embarrassed Jacksonville in Arlington, Texas.

Prescott completed 17 of 27 passes for 183 yards while rushing for a careerhigh 82 yards on 11 carries. Running back Ezekiel Elliott pounded out 106 yards and a score on 24 carries, while wide receiver Cole Beasley torched the heralded Jacksonville secondary for nine catches, 101 yards and two touchdowns.

Kicker Brett Maher added four field goals, including a career-high 55-yarder in the fourth quarter, for Dallas (3-3). The Cowboys sit a half-game behind firstplace Washington (3-2) in the NFC East.

Vikings 27, Cardinals 17 Latavius Murray rushed for 155 yards on 24 carries and a touchdown and Kirk Cousins had passing and rushing touchdowns as Minnesota downed Arizona in Minneapolis.

Cousins completed 24 of 34 passes for 233 yards.

Adam Thielen caught 11 passes for 123 yards and a score for the Vikings (3-2-1).

David Johnson gained 55 yards on 18 carries with one touchdown, Christian Kirk caught six passes for

77 yards and safety Budda Baker scored on a 36-yard fumble return for Arizona (1-5).

Redskins 23, Panthers 17 Alex Smith threw for two touchdowns and host Washington made a final defensive stand to defeat mistake-prone Carolina at FedEx Field in Landover, Md. The Panthers (3-2), who never led and were attempting to match the franchise’s biggest comeback by digging out of a 17-point hole, reached the Washington 16-yard line in the final minute before turning the ball over on downs with three straight incompletions.

Smith completed 21 of 36 passes for 163 yards for the Redskins (3-2), who were fresh off the losing end of a throttling Monday night in New Orleans. panthers quarterback Cam Newton was 27-for-40 for 275 yards with two touchdowns and an interception.

Chargers 38, Browns 14 Quarterback Philip Rivers threw for two touchdowns and Melvin Gordon ran for three scores as Los Angeles shut down host Cleveland.

The Chargers’ offense confused the Browns with reverses, misdirection and pinpoint passing, handing Cleveland (2-3-1) its first loss at home this season.

The Chargers’ defense harassed rookie Baker Mayfield and shut down the NFL’s second-leading rushing attack. Los Angeles (4-2) compiled 449 total yards, including 246 on the ground.

Seahawks 27, Raiders 3 Russell Wilson threw for three touchdowns and the Seattle defense forced two fumbles by Oakland quarterback Derek Carr in the victory in London.

With 84,922 in attendance, the largest crowd in the history of NFL football at Wembley Stadium, Wilson connected with Jaron Brown for a 5-yard score in the first quarter, David Moore from 19 yards out in the second and Tyler Lockett for 10 yards in the fourth, sending Seattle (33) to its third win in its last

The Norcross water polo team was 15-0 this season. (Special Photo: Erin Carton)

•From Page 1B our game.”

Norcross’ typically strong start was stalled by Forsyth, which answered two early Norcross goals with three straight leading into halftime. The training and conditioning from the offseason paid off for Norcross, which out-lasted the Forsyth club which was playing in its firstever Division I championship game since moving up to the highest division this year.

“It was just a big combined effort to manufacture goals any way we can to get the score close,” senior Sam Carton said.

“We knew if we could make it to the third and fourth quarter still in it that we were confident we could still win the game.”

Norcross’ water polo team won three consecutive championships from 2013-15, but most of the 2018 players missed those glory years of dominance.

That past success helped develop camaraderie in the Norcross water polo program. Players are dedicated to their teammates outside of the pool, and some have noticed that translate to consistent success in the water.

“I think we have something pretty special when everyone looks out for each other,” Carton said. “Whether it’s seniors looking out for the younger guys or just the friendship between teams.

We think of it like a brotherhood, whether it’s every weekend watching film together. If you spend a lot of time outside the pool together, it really helps your chemistry inside the pool.”

The seeds of the undefeated 15-0 season were sown after a loss in the 2017 finals. That desire for the Blue Devils to redeem themselves was a

He switched to Peachtree Ridge to become its first head baseball coach and a softball assistan.

His softball teams have reached the state playoffs in 10 of the last 13 seasons, including a trip to state this year out of difficult Region 6-AAAAAAA. The Lions made the state Final Four from 2006-08, finishing as 2007 state runner-up and winning the region title in 2008. His career record at Peachtree Ridge is 247-144 (.632 winning percentage).

“Peachtree Ridge High School is thankful for the tireless efforts Coach Wilson has put forth in building a program with first-class facilities and a history of success,” Peachtree Ridge athletic and activities director Ryan Lesniak said. “His ability to build relationships with student-athletes has been excellent and he has left the program in good shape for his successor.”

Norcross driving factor in Norcross’ recent success, according to players on the team.

The Blue Devils returned an experienced bunch and the added motivation was pivotal to Norcross’ fast start to the 2018 season.

“We knew we had a strong team and knew if everybody played their game, we could definitely be a powerhouse,” Linder said. “Seeing how well we did last year, without the team gelling we had this year, we knew we could go pretty far this season.”

Norcross is well-known for its feats in boys and girls basketball and football, to name a few, but its perennial strength in athletics extends to non-GHSA affiliated sports such as water polo, which is one of the deepest in not only the county but also the state. The Blue Devils’ water polo program fields enough players for a “B” team made up of mostly middle schoolers and high school underclassmen, while the “A” team is led by mostly juniors and seniors.

The fluidity of that pipeline was evident as Norcross pursued its state championship ambitions this year.

“It was a lot of hard work, but we had a lot of fun watching film,” Carton said. “On Friday nights, we would have a light swim practice then hang out at the pool.”

Kyle Smith completed his second year as the Blue Devils’ coach. While the water polo regular season is short — the regular season starts in early August and runs through Columbus Day weekend — the team practiced through the spring and summer twice per week.

Norcross sharpened its conditioning and fundamentals in the offseason, but a few Blue Devil play-

ers widened the talent gap between Norcross and its opponents.

Linder, a member of the Dynamo Junior Olympic team in Georgia, provided a consistent offensive force of reckoning. He traveled to the West Coast to compete against clubs with nationwide origins, and the experience was eye-opening for him.

“It was a lot of fun playing against players that knew the game better than I did,” Linder said.

“It was a challenge the whole entire time. Nothing came easy for us in California, and I think that helped my skills when I came back here to Georgia.”

Smith said, with an exception of two games, no single player scored more than one-third of Norcross’ goals in a single game.

“It really wasn’t one person,” Smith said. “In the starting lineup, I had six seniors and one junior.

These six seniors had been playing together since they were freshmen.”

Several players on Norcross’ team are now preparing for the swimming and diving season.

Meets will begin later this month.

While scholarship opportunities for water polo are scarce, both Linder and Carton expressed interest in continuing playing water polo in a club capacity in college.

“After a culmination of four years, it was really nice to finish off winning a ring,” Carton said.

“I think, having lost last year, was a very important lesson for some of the guys on the team last year. It taught us to step up our game and all eyes were on the championship the entire way through the season.”

After the 2019-20 school year, Wilson said he didn’t have any firm plans for retirement.

But he is certain he will miss coaching high school sports, as well as Peachtree Ridge.

“You always get down to missing the kids, kids are why you coach,” Wilson said. “Dealing with teenagers as a coach and teacher, I feel like that’s

what I was supposed to be doing. You find your niche and you’re plugged into that. Softball and athletics was a way to connect with kids. I’ll miss the kids and all the good parents who have helped with the program at Lakeside and Peachtree Ridge. And the coaches. You’ll miss the coaches who helped you and also the coaches you competed against.”

“They’ve really helped me improve and be a better player, but also a better leader,” Ffrench said. “I was able to be the captain of my 17-1 team.

As the No. 2 seed heading into the state championship bracket, Archer is guaranteed one home match against Lambert.

Odds and ends Parkview’s best start since the 2002 continued with their 56-7 win over Berkmar last Friday at the Big Orange Jungle, claiming the Green Flag — the symbol of the victory in the Lilburn rivalry — for the 19th straight season despite having its shutout streak ended when Patriots quarterback Donte Henry hit A.J. Feliciano with an 11-yard TD pass just over three minutes into the second quarter.

The score represented the first points given up directly by the Panthers’ defense since the 5:38 mark of the fourth quarter of a Sept. 21 win over Milton.

On the other end of the spectrum, No. 5 Archer’s 41-14 loss to fourth-ranked Grayson last week represented a rarity for the program.

It was just the seventh time in 105 overall varsity games since the Tigers began playing football in 2009 that they have given up 40 or more points in a game.

Three of those occasions have come against Grayson.

With this economy, why vote for Democrats?

Given what the Trump administration is saying are record achievements for a president at this stage in office, why would anyone consider voting for Democrats in the upcoming midterm elections?

Writing in The Washington Examiner, Paul Bedard lists 289 accomplishments of the Trump administration, beginning with the obvious one, the econoCal my: “They Thomas include 173 major wins, such as adding more than 4 million jobs, and another 116 smaller victories, some with outsize importance, such as the 83 percent one-year increase in arrests of MS-13 gang members.”

They also include two justices now on the Supreme Court and 82 other federal judges confirmed to lower courts.

As the White House has touted, unemployment in all demographics is the lowest it has been since 1969. Despite a recent blip in the stock market, portfolios have grown fatter since Trump became president. An analysis in The Wall Street Journal predicts economic growth is likely to continue “for years.”

Other positives include updated trade deals with Mexico and Canada that will produce benefits for American manufacturers and workers far more than the old NAFTA deal ever did.

Consumer confidence reached an 18year high in September, according to Lynn Franco, director of Economic Indicators at The Conference Board, which conducts the Conference Board Consumer Confidence Index.

Top this off with the successfully negotiated release of Pastor Andrew Brunson from a Turkish prison and a more realistic foreign policy in confronting America’s enemies.

According to Gallup’s weekly tracking poll, for the week of Oct. 7, the president’s approval rating jumped a percentage point, from 42 percent to 43 percent. His disapproval rating holds at 53 percent, though that number is down three percentage points from the week of Sept. 16. Rasmussen, which tends to be more favorable toward Republicans, puts the president’s approval at 51 percent. That is higher than President Obama achieved at a similar point in his presidency. Presidential polling does not necessarily forecast voter behavior in state and local races, though one Quinnipiac University Poll shows that Sen. Ted Cruz, RTexas, has a nine-point likely voter lead over his opponent Rep. Beto O’Rourke, D-Texas.

In view of Republican successes, including tax cuts and the booming economy, what Democratic policies would produce results better than these? Other than spite for the president, why would voters elect candidates who want to return to a past where things were far different?

Do people who didn’t have jobs during the previous administration want to embrace policies that kept them unemployed?

Do businesses once prevented from hiring people because of regulations now wish to have regulations re-imposed and to lay off workers they recently hired?

By what logic do some people wish to return to the recent past, including a recent past that includes Republican presidents who cannot lay claim to the type of successes President Trump is enjoying?

Perhaps most amazing is the president’s growing approval among African-American voters, whose votes he is openly campaigning for as evidenced by rapper Kanye West’s endorsement and the president’s reciprocal embrace. USA Today reported on a new Rasmussen poll that shows “approval rating among African Americans is at 36 percent, nearly double his support at this time last year.” Despite the NAACP’s hostility toward the president, African-American voters seem focused more on results than symbolism.

Polls have been wrong in the past — take the 2016 election as the latest example — but the president has begun touting his record while campaigning for candidates. That record appears to be resonating with voters, at least in some states. Never has the Ronald Reagan question “Are you better off than you were four years ago?” seemed more relevant. Never has the answer appeared more obvious.

Cocktails in the Kanye-Trump asylum WASHINGTON — Amid hurricanes, a vanished journalist, the recent Supreme Court hearings, midterms and “mobs,” it is little wonder that Americans are drinking more than ever.

Factually, this is so. More than 70 percent of Americans imbibe each year, and about 40 percent drink excessively, according to two separate studies last year. A comparison to 2014 data showed a 10 percent increase in the number of heavy drinkers.

I mention these sotted stats for context. Lately, at least from my perch on the porch, the evening cocktail has become less an aperitif than a medicinal slug made necessary by the alternative of ripping off my face. To bear witness to These Times In Which We Live is to go insane, join a cult or pour your favorite poison.

Please, if you’re one of the roughly 30 percent who haven’t strayed from the wagon, do not feel compelled to share.

We’ve had enough scolding from Democrats lately, which is another point of cognitive dissonance. In our topsy-turvy world, the Democratic Party, once a haven for working-class Americans, has become a green room of shaggy intellectuals who lecture the nation about the decline in morality and civility.

Here’s a taste of his soliloquy about Hoover: “So there’s theories that — there’s infinite amounts of universe and there’s alternate universe so it’s very important for me to get [Larry] Hoover out, because in an alternate universe, I am him. And I have to go and get him free.”

Kathleen Among other topical points, Parker West mentioned that Hillary Clinton and her “I’m With Her” The Republican Party, the slogan didn’t do it for him in erstwhile home to the Moral 2016 because he was a child Majority, is now wedded to a of separated parents and didn’t porn-star-linked president, who get enough father time.

Thus, from a stentorian Kanye West, West went with Big Daddy who seemed to have (a) lost his Trump and is proud to be an mind or (b) emptied a bottle of African-American supporter of Adderall into his coffee before the president. He said he loves arriving at the White House for Trump and threw down some lunch with the president. choice expletives for emphasis.

very interesting.”

Meanwhile, serious news of enormous import loitered in the vestibule awaiting the president’s attention. Hurricane Michael had recently finished decimating the Florida panhandle and, on the very day of this epic confab, was drenching the Carolinas, which were still foundering from Hurricane Florence. Reports were also coming in that a Washington Post columnist who had disappeared into the Saudi consulate in Istanbul may have been tortured, murdered and dismembered on orders from Saudi Crown Prince and Jared Kushner buddy Mohammed bin Salman. Speaking of the incident Thursday evening, Trump said dismissively: “It’s in Turkey, and it’s not a citizen.”

When the world has gone barking mad, when high-school yearbook jottings can nearly take a good man down, when a hip-hop artist and the president convene a surreality show in the Oval Office, when millions are suffering the aftermath of a killer storm and Trump seems chillingly unmoved by a reporter’s alleged murder — well, you’d best make mine a triple.

Cheers.

Dietary scientists, make up your minds Say it ain’t so: Alcohol in moderation is bad for us again!

According to a recent study published in the journal Alcoholism, low-level alcohol use — one or two snorts of hooch on occasion — may benefit cardiovascular disease, but it increases the risk of cancer.

To which I respond: Oh, c’mon!

I don’t know if our scientists have noticed, but our country is politically and culturally divided. Our people are agitated and angry. Life’s simple pleasures are among the few things about which we have any consensus these days.

Yet for years, our simple pleasures have been under scientific assault.

Back in the ’90s, a series of alarming reports told us that movie-theater popcorn would congest our arteries worse than eating Crisco right out of the can.

Then we learned that Chinese food would fatten us, and that a hearty fast-food breakfast could be so risky we might not make it to lunch.

For years, we were told that

Tom Purcell red meat is bad for our hearts.

But now, we’re being told that it is also causing climate change — so we need to start eating bugs instead!

Look, too few Americans are aware of where our food comes from and what is in it — which partly helps explain our obesity epidemic. But it’s awfully frustrating that our scientists can’t seem to make up their minds.

For years, they told us coffee was bad for us — before deciding that, in moderation, it stimulates our arteries, and protects against Parkinson’s disease, type 2 diabetes and liver disease. Coffee certainly makes my noggin sharper as the workday begins!

For years, scientists told us to avoid fat and carbs. Now,

they tell us to limit carbs and that proper fats are essential to good health — that some people don’t have enough fat in their diets!

For years, scientists told us alcohol was bad. Then they told us that, in moderation, it prevents heart disease, reduces the chance of ischemic stroke and possibly reduces the risk of diabetes!

But now, alcohol in moderation is bad for us again?

Regrettably, the issue remains unsettled.

According to The Washington Post, the alcohol-in-moderation issue was supposed to be clarified by a 10-year, $100 million Moderate Alcohol and Cardiovascular Health trial sponsored by The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, part of the National Institutes of Health.

But the study’s credibility collapsed, The Post reports, when an “internal NIH investigation found that researchers had engaged in extensive communication with industry representatives before the government’s approval of the trial.”

Thus, it was canceled.

Which puts us right back at square one.

Some scientists, including an epidemiologist cited

by The Post, say “drinkers should drink a little bit every day, without any days off, because alcohol makes blood platelets less sticky and keeps other clotting factors low.”

But another scientist told The Post: “The burden of evidence is toward alcohol having a detrimental effect on heart disease, even in small quantities.”

As a result, millions of average Americans are in a constant state of confusion and debate about many things scientific — while they’re also in a constant state of confusion and debate about many things political and cultural.

One solution? Embrace the witty wisdom of Irish poet and playwright Oscar Wilde: Enjoy “everything in moderation, including moderation.”
