BY FRANK REDDY Staff Correspondent

If you ask Shane Orr, a Central Gwinnett alum and now principal of the high school, what makes his learning institution a success, he’ll tell you: It’s no secret.

“It’s already a great school, and it’s been so for a while,” Orr said. “It’s like we’re tasked with keeping something amazing alive, as opposed to developing something new.”

The Lawrenceville area high school celebrates 60 years this week, kicking off the mileShane Orr stone with homecoming Friday. The event precedes an alumni softball game and an anniversary gala later in the week.

Orr said being both an alumni and principal of the

school has offered him unique insights.

“It’s amazing reflecting on some of my earliest memories of being on this campus … to now being the principal here and trying to insure that today’s students understand not only the importance of embracing the tradition but creating a legacy of their own.” sure that students today have Added Orr: “That has been the opportunities to make a pretty amazing experience memories of their own while for me — blending that past with the present and making See CENTRAL, Page 7A

Former Lilburn-area state legislator BJay Pak has a new title: U.S. attorney for the Northern District of Georgia.

The U.S. Senate confirmed President Donald Trump’s nomination of Pak to the post late Thursday. Sen. Johnny Isakson’s office announced the confirmation Friday, and said the chamber confirmed the pick in an executive session.

“President Trump’s selection of BJay Pak as U.S. attorney for BJay Pak the Northern District of Georgia was an excellent choice,” Isakson said in a statement. “BJay brings the passion and expertise required for this role, and I have full confidence that he will make Georgians proud as he works to protect their interests and enforce the rule of law.”

Pak was a member of the Gwinnett Legislative Delegation in the Georgia General Assembly as a state representative from 2011 to 2016. On top of being a legislator, Pak was also an attorney, a role he continued after he left the House of Representatives.

Trump nominated him for the U.S. attorney position in late July.

Prior to serving in the General Assembly, Pak had served as an assistant U.S. attorney for the Northern District of Georgia from 2002 to 2008.

During that time, he handled cases that involved drug trafficking, money laundering, intellectual property and white-collar crimes.

Pak was praised by his predecessor, John Horn, in a statement released by his office Friday afternoon.

“I wish the best to my friend, BJay Pak, during what will undoubtedly be an immensely successful term as U.S. attorney,” Horn said. “BJay’s skillful leadership and superb judgment will lead the office to even greater accomplishments, and safeguard the tradition

Former Brookwood standout speaks on storm’s destruction in her new home of Puerto Rico

Amid the chaos of evacuation and bunkering down for Hurricane Maria, Christie Hupman passed a chicken with its brood on the lush grounds of Hospital Auxilio Mutuo, where she works as a neurologist.

She was struck with sadness with the thoughts of what would happen next when the mega-storm barreled through San Juan and the rest of Puerto Rico. She figured the birds had little chance against a Category 4 hurricane with sustained wins of more than 150 mph.

“It was terrible,” the 2002 Brookwood High graduate said. “I knew they were going to die, but there was nothing I could do about it.”

Only they didn’t die.

As those in Puerto Rico dug out of the damage from the Sept. 20 hurricane, Hupman returned to the hospital grounds. The oncebeautiful, garden-covered property was skinned of plants and trees.

Yet there was the same group of chicks with their mother, a boost of encouragement during difficult

Until then, Goins faces life in prison without the possibility of parole. Since prosecution didn’t seek the death penalty, that’s the harshest sentence he could have received.

A 66-year-old Lilburn woman has been arrested on multiple charges after she allegedly attacked police with a flaming broom as they tried to take her into custody for alleged threats against the life of a Gwinnett County State Court judge.

Lilburn police said officers went to Irene Mercedes Handy’s home Thursday morning after they received a report about an offensive banner that was reportedly hanging from her home on Old Manor Road. Police did not specify what was written on the banner.

“The handmade banner was offensive but legal in its content,” Capt. Thomas Bardugon said in a statement. “However, it violated the city’s sign ordinance by exceeding the square footage allowed for a tempo-

rary sign.”

Events took a turn while the officers were looking into the banner isIrene sue.

Police Mercedes said they Handy learned Handy had allegedly made threatening phone calls to state court Judge Carla Brown in the past while they talked to her about the banner on her home.

Some of the threats were reportedly against Brown’s life, officials said.

Police began working on getting a warrant for Handy’s arrest because of the threat against Brown.

Officials said Handy allegedly then climbed out of a second-story window and onto the roof of her home while shouting obscenities at the officers.

At some point, Handy re-entered the home. Police accused her of then coming

out of the door of the home while holding a flaming broom which had been doused in kerosene. She is also accused of pushing it at the officers as they tried to arrest her.

One officer was slightly injured before knocking the broom out of her hand, Lilburn officials said.

Handy has been charged with aggravated assault of a police officer, terroristic threats and acts, and harassing phone calls.

Jail records listed her as still being in the Gwinnett County Jail as of Friday night.

The jail records also show Handy has been arrested several times in the past on various charges including obstruction of a law enforcement officer, disorderly conduct, simple battery, harassing phone calls, fleeing or attempting to elude police, intimidation or injury of a juror, failure to appear and terroristic threats.

Gwinnett County bicyclists are being asked to get ready to do some heavy pedaling this month.

Singing the Queen song “Bicycle Race” to themselves while they do it is optional, though.

The Atlanta Regional Commission is kicking off its Biketober Atlanta Bike Challenge campaign Sunday to encourage more people in the area to spend at least a little more time riding their bikes rather than sitting in their cars.

Participants in the campaign can register at ATLBikeChallenge.com and keep logs on the site to keep track of how much time they spend riding their bikes.

“Our goal is to get more metro Atlanta commuters to incorporate cycling into their routines,” ARC Atlanta Bike Challenge Lead Rosalind Tucker said in a statement. “Since 2014, nearly 5,500 riders have participated in the Atlanta Bike Challenge, logging over 1 million miles in rides.”

One opportunity for Gwinnett residents to get involved in Biketober will be the Pedal Gwinnett event hosted by the Sustainable Norcross Bike/Ped Committee and the City of Duluth at 10 a.m. Oct. 14. It is one of several events taking place this month around

highlight the importance of childhood education.

“It will hopefully get other teachers involved, too,” McNamara said. “Hopefully it’ll just get them excited about becoming teachers, staying in the program and making a difference.”

In the meantime, McNamara will keep making a difference to the pre-K kids making up her 2017-18 class.

“You know your teacher, Miss Jodie? We just named her the Pre-K Teacher of the Year,” Jacobs said to those kids on Friday. “That means she’s the best teacher in the whole state of Georgia. And she gets to teach you every single day.”

metro Atlanta this month to promote bicycling. It is open only to bike riders who are 18 or older.

About 40 people have RSVPed to participate so far, organiser Jolyn Barrow said.

“No one knows there are miles and miles of wide multi-use paths along Peachtree Industrial (Boulevard) and we’re planning to highlight their existence,” she said about why the event is being held.

In addition to the cities of Duluth and Norcross and the Sustainable Norcross Bike/Ped Committee, other sponsors for Pedal Gwinnett include the ARC, Georgia Commute Options, Simply Done Donuts, Duluth Yoga, Studio, Chase’s Wingery and Grill, Studio 87 Yoga and Gwinnett Parks and Recreation.

Bicyclists who participate in Pedal Gwinnett will ride from the Duluth Town Green and downtown Norcross and back.

Participants will first do a group stretch with Duluth Yoga representatives and enjoy free coffee and donuts from Simply Done Donuts. The riders will then head out on West Lawrenceville Street and then take McClure Bridge Road to Peachtree Industrial Boulevard, where they will get on the Gwinnett County Bike Trail.

Eventually, the bicyclists will get off the trail at North Peachtree Street and take that road in to

downtown Norcross.

Duluth police will escort the riders from the town green to the intersection of Peachtree Industrial and Howell Ferry Road.

Norcross police will then escort them from the intersection of Peachtree Industrial and Medlock Bridge Road to Thrasher Park.

Once the bicyclists arrive in Norcross, they will visit the Italian Car Show and enjoy a free wings and sliders lunch at Chase’s Wingery.

They will then do more stretching with representatives from Studio 87 Yoga and then ride back to the Duluth Town Green.

Anyone interested in signing up for the event can register at bit. ly/2yeu2cL. Gwinnett residents who cannot make it to Pedal Gwinnett are still encouraged to ride their bikes throughout the month and log their activity at ATLBikeChallenge.com.

As an added incentive to get residents to ride their bikes, the ARC is offering a wide array of prizes to individual riders, or teams of bicyclists, for riding their bikes and logging it online.

Some of the prizes include a trip to Italy or San Francisco; a new bike; bicycling gear; a pizza oven; tickets to Dad’s Garage; Mission: Escape Atlanta or Hawks games; meals from Good Measure Meals; or a Georgia Beer Garden gift card.

In the 15 years she’s been teaching pre-K, McNamara has often brought her work home with her.

“She works really hard just to put things together and do things for the kids,” her daughter said. “The house is always full of crafts and pictures of (student’s) faces, stuff like that.”

That enthusiasm will come in handy over the next year. As a Pre-K Teacher of the Year, McNamara will serve as an ambassador for the state’s pre-K program.

She’ll make public appearances and talk about the program’s successes.

That won’t be hard for McNamara. She said she hopes her award can serve to

a special “Silly Monster Dance” and decorated a poster with their handprints for their teacher to take home.

The Vinson family, the founders and leaders of the Kids ‘R’ Kids corporation, talked about how proud they were to have McNamara under their employment.

Even McNamara’s husband and her daughter, who had been away studying radiation therapy at a college in Tennessee, snuck into the school on Friday to shout “surprise” as she received her award.

Daughter Kelsey McNamara said she wasn’t shocked her mother won Pre-K Teacher of the Year.

Jodie McNamara came to work at Kids ‘R’ Kids in Grayson on Friday completely focused on crafting, dancing and learning with her pre-K students, just like she had nearly every day for the past 12 years.

She had no idea that a gathering including First Lady Sandra Deal and Georgia Early Education Alliance for Ready Students founding chairwoman Stephanie Blank were preparing to celebrate her years of dedication in a room just down the hall from hers.

McNamara recently won Georgia’s Pre-K Teacher of the Year in the private sector, an award she found out about through a presentation Friday morning.

“This much is a surprise,” McNamara said. “The effort that everybody went through for me is just overwhelming.”

McNamara’s award came from the Georgia Department of Early Care and Learning, also known as Bright from the Start, the state agency responsible for meeting early education needs. Each year, one award is granted to a teacher in the public school system and in the private sector.

Regulation of salt and water can be derailed DEAR DR. ROACH: I am a 75-year-old man who is 6 feet, 1 inch tall and weighs 195 pounds. I had a heart attack 20 years ago, and I was warned to cut down my salt intake. From that time on, I stopped using table salt and carefully selected foods with low salt content.

Eighteen months ago, I had an incident where I had confusion and passed out.

In the emergency room, my bloodwork showed low sodium. My doctor recommended that I increase my dietary sodium. I found this very difficult after 20 years of carefully avoiding salt.

More recently, I had shoulder replacement surgery, for which I was scheduled to spend two days in the hospital. After the morning operation, I could not urinate. They wanted me to drink water to encourage urination.

The day after surgery, I suddenly felt confused, nauseated and weak, to the point of being unable to stand, plus I had violent dry heaves.

Blood tests showed that I had hyponatremia, with a sodium level of 116 (normal range is 135-145). Doctors explained that a sodium level this low could lead to brain swelling and death.

Several discussions with a kidney doctor led to a decision to give me a single pill of tolvaptan. This single pill caused me to release 6.7 liters of urine by 6 a.m. the next morning. Bloodwork taken at the time showed my sodium to be 131 mEq/L. Later that day, I had a reading of 127.

I was released that evening with a fluid-intake restriction of 32 ounces per day.

— D.L. ANSWER: I believe that you had a condition called syndrome of inappropriate anti-diuretic hormone, possibly in response to your orthopedic surgery (there are other causes, including lung and brain diseases, but sometimes we never can find a cause), which was exacerbated by the water they gave you to encourage urination.

SIADH is a problem with the kidneys’ ability to get rid of water. Thus, although salt is sometimes used to treat SIADH for short periods of time, the key to understanding and controlling this condition is management of free water (water without salt).

With excess ADH (also called vasopressin), the urine is very concentrated, and this leads to retention of water in the body, diluting and lowering sodium.

The kidney responds to the excess water by eliminating more sodium, which leads to further reduction in the blood sodium level.

Tolvaptan blocks the effect of the excess ADH, allowing the body to get rid of water. It must be used very cautiously, since raising blood sodium level too much too quickly can cause permanent brain damage.

I was taught never to raise the sodium by more than 10 points in a day.

Salt restriction is absolutely appropriate for most people with high blood pressure and heart disease.

However, SIADH is more common than you might think, and the key to its treatment is restricting drinking water, rather than increasing dietary sodium.

Mom’s frequent borrowing a hindrance DEAR Amy: My mother frequently borrows money from me at the last minute for various reasons. The “loan” amounts have gotten progressively higher, as I’ve climbed the ranks at my company. I’ve been paid back 30 percent to 40 percent of the time, but she “owes” me close to $10,000.

My mom lives in a Third World country where the cost of living has been increasing.

However, she makes questionable decisions regarding her finances, including extensive online shopping and helping my fully ablebodied brother in Florida with his expenses. This includes “loaning” him money to buy a car and an engagement ring for his girlfriend.

I live in New York City, and I’ve been trying to buy an apartment. I found a place and want to make an offer. As luck would have it, Mom just asked me for a loan for $4,000 to pay off the mortgage on a piece of property she’s renovated, which she inherited from my grandmother.

She says she’s in a bind and the payment is past due. She won’t ask my aunt (her sister) who co-owns the property, because she doesn’t want to appear like she can’t handle her finances. My aunt has her own issues with her finances and may soon be out of work.

world ISIS leader seems to break 11-month silence with audio message The leader of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, seems to have broken his 11-month silence with a long audio message in which he mocks the United States, calls on jihadis to rally against the Syrian regime and insists that ISIS “remains” despite its rapid loss of territory.

A spokesman for the U.S. Office of the Director of National Intelligence, Timothy Barrett, told CNN that after analyzing the recording, the intelligence community has determined the message “appears to be authentic.”

The speech seems to have been recorded relatively recently, as it references North Korean nuclear threats against Japan and the United States, as well as Syrian peace talks — in which Russia, Turkey and Iran are trying to extend ceasefires across Syria.

The release appears to lay to rest claims by the Russian military that they had almost certainly killed Baghdadi in an airstrike near Raqqa on May 28.

U.S. officials say ISIS has largely been forced out of Raqqa as well as Mosul, and Baghdadi may be somewhere in the middle Euphrates River Valley.

Volcano evacuees to return home outside Bali ‘dangerous zone’ Thousands of volcano evacuees on the Indonesian island of Bali have been told to return to their homes outside a government-designated “dangerous zone,” even as fears of an eruption grow.

Residents earlier this week had been asked to leave an exclusion zone that stretches 7.5 miles from the center of Mount Agung.

Close to 144,000 residents — including tens of thousands who live outside the zone — heeded the government’s warning. Now, officials say those whose homes aren’t in the zone should leave the nearly 500 temporary government shelters, where extra people have taxed limited resources.

Trump attacks San Juan mayor over relief efforts

CNN

Much more work must be done to meet Puerto Rico’s critical humanitarian needs after Hurricane Maria, the U.S. territory’s top official said Saturday, while also emphasizing that the federal government is fulfilling his every request — striking a conciliatory tone minutes after President Donald Trump lambasted a mayor who criticized the U.S. response.

“We need to do a lot more in order for us to get out of the emergency,” Puerto Rico Gov. Ricardo Rosselló said in San Juan. “But the other thing that’s also true is that the administration has answered and has complied with our petitions in an expedited manner.”

Eleven days after Hurricane Maria rammed Puerto Rico as a Category 4 storm, millions in the U.S. commonwealth remain without regular electricity service, and many have limited access to gas, cash and running water. At least 16 people died there as a result of the storm, the government has said.

Earlier Saturday, Trump — who plans to visit the island Tuesday — used Twitter to criticize San Juan Mayor Carmen Yulín Cruz and the “leadership ability” of some in Puerto Rico who “want everything to be done for them when it should be a community effort.” Cruz earlier had criticized the distribution of aid and said the feds needed to do more.

Rosselló, while updating reporters on recovery efforts, tread carefully on the backand-forth.

“I don’t feel that (Trump’s) message was sent in general,” Rosselló said. “I am committed to collaborating with everybody. This is a point where we can’t look at small differences. We can’t establish differences based on politics.”

Rosselló acknowledged many of the island’s 3.4 million citizens could leave for good, and more people could die if conditions don’t improve soon.

With most of the power transmission grid destroyed, more than 95 percent of customers are without regular electricity service.

Only 10.7 percent of the island’s cellphone towers are working. People are waiting in hours in line at gas stations and thinly supplied groceries. Some communities are isolated by phone outages and blocked and damaged

roads.

“My invitation … is to recognize what the important issue is: Helping the people of Puerto Rico. Everything else is fodder to the side,” he said.

Struggling for basics For many in Puerto Rico, trying to get the basics, like fuel, has become a grueling, all-day affair.

More than 710 of the island’s roughly 1,110 gas stations were working as of Saturday morning, according to the Puerto Rican government’s website for information on the recovery.

But stations often are closing in the evening, ahead of a government-mandated 9 p.m. curfew designed to limit looting. And lines in the day are long.

In Loíza, residents waited for more than 10 hours Friday for gas. The town’s deputy mayor, Luis Escobar, summed it up as a broken chain. “No fuel, no work, no money.”

15-year-old in San Juan raising funds for lamps Ten days after Hurricane Maria devastated Puerto Rico, 15-year-old Salvador Gomez Colon and his family are hunkered down in their apartment in San Juan, rationing food and water they stored before the storm hit.

His mother Marta has been eating just one meal a day and small “tidbits” after that to ensure Salvador, his father, and his 80-year-old grandparents have enough to eat.

Even though this family lives in a building with a generator running intermittently, the simplest things have become impossible.

Without running water, they can only clean their laundry once a week.

“So much of what I’ve taken for granted has been taken away,” he said. “We had these beautiful 30-feet tall trees near my home.

None of them are left standing. There’s no foliage around us,” he said.

Still, Salvador knows he’s better off than many others on the island that was devastated by Maria.

He felt compelled to launch a crowdfunding campaign called Light and Hope for Puerto Rico on fundraising platform Generosity. He has raised nearly $14,000 of his $100,000 target. He wants to use the money to buy the portable lamps and washing machines for residents in some of the worst affected areas of Puerto Rico. CNNMoney interviewed Salvador and his mother by phone Saturday.

nation American guilty of conspiring to support al-Qaida

An American citizen was found guilty Friday of conspiring to aid al-Qaida and to bomb a U.S. military base in Afghanistan.

Muhanad Mahmoud Al Farekh, 31, could face life in prison after a federal jury Brooklyn, N.Y., convicted him on nine counts, including conspiracy to murder U.S. nationals and to use a weapon of mass destruction.

His sentencing is set for Jan. 11.

Federal prosecutors claimed Al Farekh was a member of the terror Tillerson: Kurdish organization from 2007 to 2014.

President Donald Trump launched an attack on San Juan Mayor Carmen Yulín Cruz on Saturday for criticizing the White House’s hurricane relief efforts in Puerto Rico, accusing her of “poor leadership” and suggesting that the island’s residents are not doing enough to help themselves.

“The Mayor of San Juan, who was very complimentary only a few days ago, has now been told by the Democrats that you must be nasty to Trump,” the president tweeted from his golf club in Bedminster, N.J., where he is spending the weekend. “… Such poor leadership ability by the Mayor of San Juan, and others in Puerto Rico, who are not able to get their workers to help. They want everything to be done for them when it should be a community effort.”

In the series of early morning tweets, Trump again lauded the federal government’s response on the island, which is still grappling with the devastating impact of Hurricane Maria. The president said that the 10,000 federal workers there are doing a “fantastic job.”

down” in the international standoff over the country’s nuclear weapons program.

Tillerson was responding to a question at a news conference in Beijing about whether the North Koreans actually want to talk before completing their weapons development program.

“We are probing, so stay tuned,” Tillerson replied.

“We ask, ‘Would you like to talk?’ We have lines of communications to Pyongyang. We’re not in a dark situation or a blackout.

We have a couple of direct channels to Pyongyang.

We can talk to them. We do talk to them. Directly, through our own channels.”

Tillerson also said the administration’s goal with respect to North Korea is peace and stability.

“We’ve made it clear that we hope to resolve this through talks,” he said, emphasizing the principal objective “is a peaceful resolution.”

“I think the most immediate action that we need is to calm things down,” Tillerson added. “They’re a little overheated right now, and I think we need to calm them down first.”

Donations by corporations for Hurricane Maria relief top $24M

Companies are stepping up to rebuild Puerto Rico.

As of Friday, corporate donations have reached $24.1 million for Hurricane Maria relief efforts — about triple the amount that had been contributed four days ago, according to an estimate from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.

A spokeswoman for the Chamber of Commerce said she expects corporate donations will continue to grow as companies see the urgent need in Puerto Rico and as rescue and relief work shifts into long-term recovery.

The storm, which slammed Puerto Rico more than a week ago, is expected to leave behind billions of dollars in damages.

A series of natural disasters across North America over the past month could have tested the limits of corporate giving. Businesses pledged over $224.9 million to relief efforts following Hurricanes Irma and Harvey, according to a recent estimate from the Chamber.

care is showing signs of increased popularity — and durability — among Democratic voters, whose support for the policy remains solid even when faced with the potential costs.

Asked in a new Quinnipiac University poll released Thursday whether they support a singlepayer system, in which the federal government would expand Medicare to cover the medical expenses of every American citizen, nearly two in three Democratic voters (65 percent) said it was a “good idea.”

That result mostly fell in line with other recent surveys, which have shown increased backing among liberals and independents, with a slight upward trend across the board.

But the Quinnipiac poll pushed harder, incorporating another key detail into a subsequent question — the specter of a tax hike.

“Would you think that a single-payer system is a good idea or a bad idea if it removed all health insurance premiums, but also increased your taxes?” the pollsters asked. With the added information, support dropped, but not as much as one might expect.

Fifty-nine percent, just slightly down from 65 percent, still called it a “good idea.” (The number who said it was a “bad idea” increased from a quarter to a little more than a third.)

“Hamilton” creator LinManuel Miranda did not mince words in his message to Donald Trump following the President’s Saturday morning Twitter attacks on San Juan Mayor Carmen Yulín Cruz.

“You’re going straight to hell, realDonaldTrump,” the Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright tweeted at the President. “No long lines for you. Someone will say, ‘Right this way, sir.’ They’ll clear a path.”

“She has been working 24/7. You have been GOLFING,” Miranda added in a follow-up tweet. “You’re going straight to hell. Fastest golf cart you ever took.”

Obama, Biden, Prince Harry go to Invictus Games

It was the reunion of a prince and a president — this time in Canada.

Prince Harry brought along some popular friends at the Invictus Games in Toronto this year. The prince was pictured chatting and laughing Friday with former president Barack Obama, accompanied by his vice president, Joe Biden and wife, Jill.

The foursome cheered on the teams and took photos with players.

“Proud to cheer on Team USA at the Invictus Games today with my friend Joe,” Obama later tweeted. “You represent the best of our country.”

Ousted Uber CEO Travis Kalanick shakes up board of directors

By Jackie Wattles CNN

The drama at Uber just won’t quit.

Travis Kalanick, the ousted CEO and co-founder who still has a seat on Uber’s board of directors, apparently blindsided the company Friday by appointing two new board members.

in June amid a series of scandals, does have the right under the board’s current rules to make appointments.

But those rules are at the root of a lawsuit that’s currently in arbitration, and at the center of an ongoing controversy.

Benchmark, a venture capital firm that took an early stake in Uber, filed a complaint against Kalanick in August. It claims Kalanick withheld important, relevant information about the company’s scandals before the board voted to

allow him to control three seats.

According to a source familiar with the situation, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, Kalanick had not filled two of those board seats up until this point because he was “trying to respect” the legal process.

Kalanick was prompted to make the appointments this week, however, when he learned about a proposal by the company’s leadership and Goldman Sachs, an Uber adviser.

Duluth celebrates season with festival

Lawrenceville resident Becky Stein gazed up at the colorful glass wind chimes hanging over her head at the Duluth Fall Festival on Saturday and took her time to study each one.

The colorful array of glass hung from the top, and along the sides of the Chaos Glass tent at the festival so Stein had a large selection to choose from. The former Duluth resident comes to the festival every year to see what treasures she can find for her home. She eventually settled on a set of chimes, but said it likely wasn’t going to be her only purchase of the day.

“There’s just such a great variety of stuff to look at,” Stein said. “I’ve finally made my first purchase of the day, but I’ve made my list throughout the day of some

things I might be interested in buying.”

Fall Festival organizers said the opening day of the two-day event may have been the best day they’ve had in years, if not ever, based on turnout and how many people they saw buying things from vendors. Thousands of people converged on the Duluth Town Green on Saturday for the festival, which continues from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. today.

“This is the most people I’ve seen at the festival,” Duluth City Council and festival Co-chairman Kelly Kelkenberg said. “It’s been a long time since we’ve had this many people.”

Co-Chairwoman Annette McIntosh said the high turnout spilled over into spending at vendors booths.

“People are really buying, and their eating,” she said.

Chaos Glass co-owner Deb Carling agreed with that sentiment.

“We’ve been busy so far,” she said. “This show is so wonderful. It’s one of our main shows that we do every year.”

Duluth resident Shiloh Bidles bought her 4-year-old daughter, Journey, a finger puppet from Kerry Dortch’s Puppet Farm. She has been coming to the festival for years with her family and said part of the attraction is the atmosphere, but also those selling items at the festival.

“I think it’s the locals arts and supporting the local artists (that’s the attraction),” she said. “I also love supporting the local businesses.”

The festival will include the Donut Dash 5K today at 8 a.m., and a Worship on the Town Green service at 10 a.m.

Gwinnett Tech president makes address Cannon: School needs to reach more people

By Curt yeomans

curt.yeomans @gwinnettdailypost.com

Gwinnett Technical College President Dr. D. Glen Cannon announced Friday that the college’s goals for the next year include reaching more people in several different groups.

Cannon revealed the goals during his annual State of the College address to community stakeholders at the Busbee Center’s Cisco Auditorium.

Cannon said there is a need in Georgia for colleges to provide 250,000 extra graduates by 2025 because 45 percent of young adults in the state currently have a college degree or certificate.

By contrast, he said, 65 percent of the jobs in Georgia eight years from now will require some post-secondary education.

“We have a heavy load on our shoulders and it

takes everyone in this room to help carry it,” Cannon said, according to a release from the college. “Gwinnett Tech’s mission is to teach every individual, serve every business. Success lies in the strength of our partnerships.

With everyone here, we have a winning formula to reach new heights.”

The groups Cannon said include high school students and graduates as well as businesses who want to improve their employees skills and adults either who have taken some college coursework but not received a degree, who have a degree but want to make a career change or did not complete high school.

In the last year, Cannon said Gwinnett Tech has seen some growth. The number of students in its credit, economic development and continuing education programs hit 21,317 people, which

Cannon said is up 9 percent from the year before.

“That’s 1,729 more lives changed,” he said.

Gwinnett Tech is also seeing growth in the Move on When Ready dual enrollment program, which went from an enrollment of 763 high students last fall to about 1,200 this fall.

“Talk about reaching new heights,” Cannon said.

“What a fabulous opportunity for students to earn college credits at no cost; saving families thousands of dollars. A significant part of our success with the Dual Enrollment program can be attributed to our partnerships with Fulton, Gwinnett and Buford City school systems.”

Cannon said Gwinnett Tech is launching a new Center for Internships and Entrepreneurial Excellence, also known as Launch Pointe. It will be a career and workforce-focused

center that provides resources related to internships, apprenticeships, networking D. Glen and highCannon level career coaching for students.

Cannon also highlighted career fields that state officials have identified as priority career education areas, including heavy diesel, bioscience, cybersecurity, welding and joining and

early childhood development.

The college’s president said 550 students at the school use HOPE Career grants to pay for training in those priority areas this year.

That is up 30 percent from last year, he said.

In all, more than 1,500 students attend the school on scholarships, emergency assistance and emergency loans from the Gwinnett Tech Foundation over the last year.

Cannon highlighted GED preparation and English as a

•From Page 1A chicks and found a way.

That was pretty special to see what did survive.”

Unfortunately for Puerto Rico, much of the infrastructure didn’t make it unscathed.

Trees, vegetation and the majority of the island’s crops were destroyed by the strongest storm to hit the U.S. territory in almost a century. Transportation and communication were close to impossible for many as winds and flooding turned the island into a disaster area.

Drinking water has been scarce, not to mention water for bathing or flushing toilets. Electricity has been an issue, too, and many Puerto Ricans have been without power since Sept. 7, when Hurricane Irma struck land.

Hupman was in Puerto Rico during both hurricanes and the aftermath.

She moved to San Juan in July 2016, after finishing a five-year program in Miami, with her husband, Joaquin Camargo, who works in Puerto Rico.

The former standout swimmer — she won four straight 50 freestyle state titles at Brookwood and then swam for the University of Georgia — considers herself fortunate compared to others she sees around Puerto Rico, a country desperate for help.

“It’s everything you see on the news,” said Hupman, fighting back tears while describing the scene. “The devastation is everywhere. There are people that literally have lost everything. The maintenance man who works for our building lost his house and everything in it. He had to borrow clothes to come to work. He didn’t even ask for help. We just talked to him. He came to work on his own because he wasn’t able to talk to his boss. He showed up with what he had on his back to work. We gave him some food, water, money, clothes.

“There are people who literally lost everything and this is just one example. There are thousands of people like that. … The flooding, people being stranded on roofs, begging for food and water. That’s not an exaggeration. It’s very real and we do need help.”

Hupman’s issues at this point are minor when

compared to many of her neighbors. Her 12th floor condo doesn’t have a functional elevator, which means frequent stair climbs with two dogs, one a Great Dane. Generators have given the building power, but only to one outlet so families can at least plug in refrigerators.

Some neighbors windows were blown out by the hurricane, sending their belongings out of the building, but Hupman’s windows held up.

Another of Hupman’s neighbors has two young girls. The mother gave birth the day before the storm, and had to walk nine flights of stairs to her apartment the day after, only to find she couldn’t live there because the damage was so bad.

Some restaurants have started opening, but with lines of communication down for credit card terminals, most take cash only. Because of that, functioning ATMs are packed with customers — Hupman said some

have waited as long as six hours for cash.

Gas distribution is an even larger problem.

“It’s extremely concerning because you can’t get to work if you don’t have transportation,” Hupman said. “Even though gas stations are opening, the lines go for several blocks and even back onto the highway.

I’ve heard of people waiting eight hours to get gas who finally got to the front and the gas was gone. … I have to drive (to work) and I currently have half a tank of gas.

I’m hoping it will last until next week and I’m hoping the gas lines get shorter next week.”

A curfew of 7 p.m. has been set, but Hupman said for safety reasons most get inside by 6:30 p.m. with darkness setting in earlier. Cars are being stolen, in many cases only for the gas.

“It’s a struggle,” she said. “People that are able to get to grocery stores are also waiting in lines a couple of blocks long to

even get inside the grocery store. There are oasis stations where people can go and get drinking water.

But water on the shelves is scarce at best. If stores do have them, they’re rationing. Everything is being rationed. But one of the things that has been interesting is how everyone is helping each other as much as possible with food, water, clothing, shelter. Several families live together if someone has a roof intact.

“A gentleman on the street the other day was trying to get a slice of pizza from a restaurant when I picked up my pizza. I chased him down and gave him a slice. He ate that and we were still talking and I gave him a second slice. He told me he hadn’t eaten for two days before I gave him the pizza.”

With communication largely wiped out, people get most of their information via an AM radio station. Hupman’s cellphone service returned relatively quickly, allowing her to

notify her family she was safe.

“A common question is, ‘If it’s that bad, why not just leave?’” Hupman said. “Unfortunately, it’s not that simple. The airport communications and security screening sections are damaged. There are only 10 flights coming and going each day.

Ticket prices have risen to unprecedented numbers. In addition, there are 3.5 million people on the island. Everyone cannot be evacuated. I cannot leave my patients. Unlike the storms in the U.S., people cannot just drive north. There is nowhere to go.”

Patients have encountered difficulties getting to Hupman’s office, but the hospital building itself withstood the storm for the most part. The facility has closed all but one entrance and tightened security, discouraging people from filling the hallways to charge cellphones or escape the heat.

The hospital grounds took a beating, but it

wasn’t a complete loss.

At least a hen and her chicks survived.

“It’s easily going to take half a year to get power back to the entire island and other damages, recovering from those will easily take several years,” Hupman said. “We are the lucky ones right here. Many, many parts of the island have devastating flooding that wiped out homes, entire cities.

People literally have nothing. Water is coming in but it’s contaminated and you can’t use it. They really don’t have food, water, shelter, clothing.

“Puerto Rico is an amazing place. The people, both before and after the storm, have an incredible spirit. After the storm, people are still smiling, still trying to hold each other up, even after losing everything.

Puerto Ricans in general have incredible spirits, an incredible outlook on life, an incredible sense of community. They look out for each other. That’s been very special to see.”

Orr said being part of a school with six decades of history means students should try to “learn about the past … learn student traditions created in the past and maybe add their own twist to some of those traditions and keep them up.”

As a former student and now administrator, he hopes the community sees “how much I care about this school … and how much I care about the success of the students here.”

Events next week include homecoming at 5 p.m. Friday, which features alumni tailgating, homecoming parade at 6 p.m., a Ring of Honor ceremony at 7 p.m. and football game kickoff at 8 p.m.

An alumni softball game is planned for 9 a.m. Saturday, at the school.

Brookwood grad staying strong after storm hit home in St. Croix

Ga. accepts big hikes on ’18 exchange rate

BY CURT YEOMANS

Georgia Health News

curt.yeomans @gwinnettdailypost.com

Brookwood High School graduate Allen Lee moved to St. Croix with his wife, Lana, four years ago because they enjoyed the island life.

The couple had moved to Hawaii after she was transferred there for work, according to Lee’s mother, Mary. Eventually, when the couple was ready to move on from Hawaii, they chose St. Croix, in the U.S. Virgin Islands, where they got involved in real estate and own two homes, one on the beach that they live in and one inland that they rent out.

“They like the people there and it just looked like a good fit for them,” Mary Lee said.

They were still on St. Croix when Hurricane Maria moved through Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands Sept.

19-20. The storm caused widespread damage and left the couple without power or running water, according to a text Lee sent his mother, who lives in Snellville.

Mandatory curfews are also in place on the island.

“This is real and this is our lives only two days in — how is this our lives now,” Lee wrote in one text to his mother. “Maybe in months this will be nothing and we will be used to this lifestyle.”

Contact with Lee and his wife has been difficult since Maria hit, Mary Lee said, because cellphone coverage has been sporadic since the storm, and a generator at an AT&T cellphone tower was stolen.

The Virgin Islands Consortium, which is the island chain’s newspaper, reported that the stolen generator did turn back up at the site this past week and that the FBI is investigating the disappearance. The newspaper reported Saturday that cellphone service has begun to recover and commercial flights into St. Croix’s airport are expected to resume Thursday.

Pence and his wife, Karen, are expected to visit St. Croix on Friday and tour the storm damage.

Mary Lee is attempting to raise awareness about the situation on St. Croix because, while her son has said he is not looking for help, he has told her that other people on the island do need assistance. While her son’s home was damaged, she said some people lost their homes and all but “the clothes on their backs.”

She is now planning to use her position as the reigning Mrs. Georgia Senior America to urge people to collect supplies for the people of St. Croix.

“We really need to find a way to get that island some help,” she said.

The region had already been affected by Hurricane Irma, which came through the Caribbean earlier in September. Mary Lee said the couple was spared by that storm.

“Irma did not touch a hair on their property, and then along comes Maria and about destroyed everything,” she said.

Allen Lee told his mother, in his text message to her, everything he and his wife have to do daily, and what the conditions were like on the island.

“Obviously no power but we lost our generator too so no power at any point during the day,” he wrote in the text message. “No water. We don’t have city water. We have a cistern that catches the rain so we have to open that to get water can be used to wash hands, wash a dish, etc., but not really safe to drink, haven’t taken a shower/bath since before the storm.

“Water is a premium. Just spent four hours in line for groceries and over $400.

We didn’t go to distribution center and chose the store instead but many locations ran out of items after an hour

or two.”

It’s been tough on his mother.

“I haven’t slept in a week,” she said. “I have been so absolutely worried about him and very emotional. I mean that’s my child and he is really taking it like a man. He has stepped up to the plate and doing what he needs to do to survive.”

Before and after photos that Mary Lee shared with the Daily Post of her son and daughter-in-law’s property show a tropical setting in the couple’s yard before the storm. The after photos show only piles of knocked down trees and torn up fencing.

Lee told his mother the 18 dogs and cats the he and his wife have, including some that the couple is fostering, got out of a secured area that the couple had set up for the animals at one point after the storm.

Mary Lee told the Daily Post on Wednesday that a curfew had been in place that meant residents of the island could only leave their homes between noon and 4 p.m.

“They have to wait in line for hours (for supplies) and sometimes when they get up to the trucks there’s no more supplies left,” she said.

The Virgin Island Consortium later reported officials were expanding the curfew at the end of this past week.

Residents can now leave their homes between 11 a.m. and 6 p.m.

Despite the situation on St. Croix, Allen Lee is asking family and friends to not worry about him in the aftermath of Maria. The Brookwood graduate stressed in his text to his family that he and his wife were OK, and that they don’t want people to feel sorry for them or send them supplies.

“I know this is my life for awhile and I am happy that we have a roof and (are) alive,” he wrote in the text to his mother. “I just want people to know that this is our daily routine and many people are significantly worse off.”

BY ANDY MILLER

State insurance officials Wednesday gave approval to premium increases of more than 50 percent for the four insurers participating in next year’s insurance exchange in Georgia.

The officials said that the huge rate hikes assume that subsidies for insurers to lower consumers’ outof-pocket costs will not be paid next year by the federal government. The premium increases are much higher than the rates that the four insurers initially requested this summer.

Blue Cross and Blue Shield’s average rate increase for the 2018 exchange will be the highest under the scenario of no subsidies, at 57.5 percent.

Ambetter of Peach State’s final average increase will be 51 percent.

The premium hike for Alliant Health Plans, which serves counties in North Georgia, rose to 53.3 percent, while Kaiser Foundation Health Plan increased its average premium to 56.7 percent.

The insurance department Wednesday submitted the proposed rates to federal officials for final approval.

Ambetter, Alliant and Kaiser are expected to gain more exchange members as a result of Blue Cross pulling out of 74 of the 159 counties in Georgia.

The ever-increasing premiums proposed by insurers reflect the instability rocking the insurance exchanges, which provide health plans for individuals and families who don’t have job-based or government coverage. The exchanges in the individual states were created under the Affordable Care Act, often called Obamacare.

Almost 500,000 Georgians signed up for coverage this year in the state’s exchange.

Insurers are required to use the “cost-sharing reduc-

tion” subsidies to lower out-of-pocket costs, such as deductibles, to many consumers in the exchanges.

The Trump administration has hinted that it may end these subsidies.

State insurance Commissioner Ralph Hudgens, an outspoken critic of the Affordable Care Act, said in a statement that “in its fifth year, Obamacare has become even more unaffordable for Georgia’s middle class with potential premium increases up to 57.5 percent. I am disappointed by reports that the latest Obamacare repeal has stalled once again and urge Congress to take action to end this failed health insurance experiment.”

On Tuesday, GOP leaders in the U.S. Senate halted their effort to pass a bill to “repeal and replace’’ the ACA, saying they didn’t have enough votes for passage. But on Wednesday, President Trump said he still feels a repeal bill can win passage in early 2018.

Bipartisan talks on legislation to stabilize shaky insurance markets, meanwhile, have focused on renewal of the insurer subsidies.

Roughly 85 percent of Georgians in the state health insurance exchange get subsidies or discounts from the government that bring down their premium rates. As premiums rise, those subsidies increase as well, cushioning the blow of higher rates.

The people most affected by big premium increases are individuals and families who, because of their income, don’t qualify for the subsidies, said Bill Custer, a health insurance expert at Georgia State University.

“Some of them will drop out’’ of getting coverage, leading to an unhealthier pool of people for insurers to cover, he said.

With the rate increases, Custer said, insurers are expecting “a less healthy pool.”

Ga. Republicans back Trump’s tax reform proposal Some Georgia Republicans in Washington are praising President Donald Trump’s tax plan, which was unveiled this week.

The plan was developed in partnership with congressional officials, including the Senate Committee on Finance and the House Ways and Means Committee.

The White House said Trump’s plan includes a tax cut that will entail lower tax rates for individuals and small businesses, lower corporate tax rates by 20 percent and a larger zero tax bracket.

Other parts of the plan include doubling the standard deduction to $12,000 for individuals and $24,000 for married couples, reducing seven tax brackets to three (with rates of 12 percent, 25 percent and 35 percent), creating a new $500 tax credit for people who are caring for an adult dependent or elderly family member, and expanding the child tax credit.

Implementing these changes will benefit American workers, lift up American families, and ultimately help us start solving our $20 trillion national debt crisis.”

Hice said, “I really like what I’m seeing so far with the tax reform framework. This bold, new proposal is just the first step toward creating a system that is both competitive and fair. I’m pleased that it will empower Americans to take home more of their hard-earned paychecks and enable businesses of all sizes to grow and thrive.”

But Parrish said it’s the students she teaches who keep her going.

“Last year we lost one of our drama family members to a brain tumor,” she said. “It was the strength that the kids and I gave to each other that got us through. I say this all the time — I have the very best job in the world.”

Unnecessary roughness in the NFL If you like professional sports, a major reason — perhaps THE reason — you attend games, or watch them on TV, is that it helps you escape from whatever occupies your mind the rest of the week.

You certainly don’t want the issues of the day encroaching on your enjoyment.

The recent exchange of insults between PresiCal dent Trump Thomas and some in the National Football League was the latest indication that there is no safe place remaining where one can hide from politics. The game in London between the Baltimore Ravens and the Jacksonville Jaguars was doubly offensive because of the many players who knelt down in protest when “The Star Spangled Banner” was played, but stood for the British national anthem, “God Save the Queen.” Were they unaware of Britain’s slave trade history?

Football is a sport, but it is also a business. Fans pay big money for tickets, gear, parking and overpriced food and drinks. They have put up with a lot to root for their favorite teams, but these protests, which many regard as disrespecting America and the flag, may have exceeded their high tolerance level.

The players say they are “taking a knee” to protest police brutality inordinately targeted toward AfricanAmericans. It is this systemic racism, this inequality that they are attempting to bring into public view. It’s a right cause, certainly, but perhaps the wrong arena?

These players should first consider who is responsible for their unequally high salaries. Where else could most of them earn that kind of money? If fans stop coming to games and watching them on TV, the unique covenant between player and fan will be broken, perhaps forever.

Sunday night games on NBC usually attract a large number of viewers. Last week’s game between Washington and Oakland, according to an ESPN report, “was the lowest-rated Week 3 game from metered markets since 2006. … Preliminary television ratings for the nationally broadcast games Sunday on CBS, Fox and NBC were down 1 percent, 16 percent and 11 percent, respectively.”

Fans of the Washington Redskins, who are historically loyal, booed players for kneeling and locking arms during the national anthem. Don’t these players realize they are killing the golden goose?

NBA star LeBron James called President Trump a “bum” for suggesting that protesting players be fired, but this controversy has been a long time coming, and what’s happening with the NFL is symbolic of something deeper.

Many are fed up with being told they have to tolerate everything they don’t believe in. They are sick of being called names for upholding values that have served the nation well. They see President Trump as championing those values, however short he’s come in practicing them. They believe he loves America as they do and are willing to forgive behavior they wouldn’t tolerate in anyone else.

The president has called for a boycott of NFL games, if these demonstrations continue. One already sees a lot of empty seats at some games. Part of it may be that people don’t want to support perpetual losers, but it may also be that fans don’t want politics in sports.

In a football game, a penalty is imposed for unnecessary roughness. This current roughness is unnecessary. The president has made his views clear. After many players refused invitations to come to the White House, the president disinvited them from the traditional ceremonies. The NFL continues to stand — for now — with its players. Maybe what’s needed is something like President Obama’s “beer summit,” with players, fans and the president talking to each other instead of hurling insults. Other solutions might include players staying in the locker room during the national anthem, as the Pittsburgh Steelers did, or perhaps to cut the anthem altogether.

Whatever grievances the players have, these demonstrations help no one. Future demonstrations could further widen the divide in an already seriously fractured nation.

It comes down to exercising my rights It’s a great country, isn’t it?

In fact, it is the greatest country in the world. We offer more freedom, more support for our citizens, and more opportunity than any other country in the world. We offer so much opportunity that people, many of whom would have a hard time making a good living in any other endeavor, can live like kings off the salary they make for playing a game.

Let me say that again. We offer so much opportunity that people, many of whom would have a hard time making a good living in any other endeavor, can live like kings off the salary they make for playing a game.

“How does that work?” you might ask. It’s simple really. It is called free enterprise. Billionaires buy sports franchises and get municipalities to build them giant arenas in which their teams play and charge more money than a typical family in lesser countries makes in a year for tickets to their games.

Television networks pony up many more millions of dollars to televise the games to those who cannot afford to purchase the overpriced seats to the live events. Sponsors such as beer companies, car companies and special delivery specialists, pay exorbitant amounts of money to advertise during these telecasts,

of our national anthem, “The Star-Spangled Banner.” Now hundreds of players have followed suit.

“Oh say does that star-spangled banner yet wave, o’er the land of the free and the home of the brave?”

players is the commissioner of the NFL. This is an organization that wouldn’t let the Dallas Cowboys honor five policemen who were killed protecting some thugs’ right to protest.

This is the organization that fined a player for wearing pink shoes to honor his mother’s fight against breast cancer — although they allowed the guy who started all this protest of the flag to wear socks depicting police officers as pigs. This is the organization that fined a player for writing 9/11/01 on his shoes on the 15th anniversary of the greatest attack on American soil since the British burned the capitol during the war in which “The Star-Spangled Banner” was written.

The commissioner of the NFL has the right to stop these protests, but he is too gutless to do so. I have rights, too, though.

I have the right to never watch another down of NFL football and to never buy another product from companies that support the NFL and their attack on our country and her history and her heroes.

I’m just one person. But it will be a cold day in hell before I support those who protest against our country.

God Bless America. And long may our star-spangled banner continue to wave.

Never too early to think about your legacy Do me a favor, will you? I would greatly appreciate it if you would see that my obituary gets printed as is, just in case I happen to kick the bucket or cash in my chips or buy the farm or any other euphemism that you deem appropriate for the occasion.

Let me say emphatically that I have no plans to die anytime soon. I have sock drawers to rearrange, political egos to prick and sunsets to ponder. I got a glimpse of death a few weeks ago and didn’t like what I saw.

Evidently, Death wasn’t crazy about the experience either and gave me a pass. A good friend suggested that the reason I survived the ordeal is that God wasn’t ready for me and the devil wouldn’t have me. What would I do without my friends?

But that experience did make me think about how I want to be remembered. The best way to do that is to go ahead and get it down on paper like I want and then depend on kind souls like you to see that it gets in the paper that way I wrote it.

I know I’m asking a lot of you, but when you consider the countless hours I have spent trying to provide you state-of-theart, cutting edge observations on everything from 10 important facts you need to know about tree stumps to why that fat, ugly

“To his adoring public, he bequeaths his extensive collection of Bolivian postage stamps, a rarely-heard eight-track tape of ‘Lawrence Welk’s Hip-Hop Classics’ and a copy of his soon-to-be released book, ‘Fifty Ways to Hate Broccoli.’”

OK, that’s about all I can think of that I would like included in my obituary. You may ask why I didn’t list my Nobel Peace Prize, Heisman Trophy and the fact that people are always confusing me for actor Brad Pitt. (I’m a couple of inches taller.)

That would sound like bragging and, as you know, one of my redeeming qualities is my reluctance to brag. I’m extremely proud of that. However, if you think it is important to add these items to my obituary, please do so. It’s your call. After all, what do I care? I plan to be in Athens on a crisp, bright eternal Saturday afternoon singing “Glory, Glory.”

POINTING NORTH

Bulldogs knock off No. 7 Mill Creek for fifth straight win

By Brandon Brigman Staff Correspondent

SUWANEE — After a narrow season-opening loss, North Gwinnett’s football team has hit its stride.

The Bulldogs won their fifth straight game, beating No. 7-ranked Mill Creek 35-21 Friday night at Tom Robinson Memorial Stadium.

The victory over the two-time defending region champion Hawks puts North Gwinnett in the driver’s seat in the Region 6-AAAAAAA standings.

It also gave North head coach Bill Stewart a victory over his former team, where he spent the last three seasons as defensive coordinator.

“We don’t play the game. Me

and Coach (Shannon) Jarvis have been saying that,” Stewart said. “We don’t, so I’m happy for them. Yeah, it’s a big win

because it’s a region win, not because I came from Mill Creek.

They are a great football team and we’re just happy we were

able to persevere and win.”

North Gwinnett (5-1, 2-0 region) used a pair of defensive touchdowns and a big night from quarterback Jimmy Urzua and receiver Josh Downs to give the Hawks (4-2, 1-1) their second loss in three games. Urzua was 13 of 23 passing for 243 yards, while Downs caught six passes for 154 yards.

“He just keeps plugging away for us and being very efficient and doing the things to help us win,” Stewart said of Urzua, who became the starter in Week 2 when Cade Fortin suffered an season-ending injury.

With the game tied at 21 in the fourth quarter, it took just two plays and 58 seconds by North Gwinnett to put the game out of reach.

The Bulldogs’ Jayden McDonald recorded his second sack and forced a fumble of quarterback Brady Longenecker on Mill Creek’s 13. Longenecker was hurt on the play and did not take a snap the rest of the game.

Urzua then hit a wide-open Will Hunter in the middle of the end zone for a 12-yard touchdown pass to put the Bulldogs ahead 28-21 with 5:40 left in the game.

On the ensuing possession, Mill Creek fumbled the ball and Payne Walker scooped it up and raced 20 yards for the touchdown for a 35-21 lead with 4:42 left in the game.

Germana, Eagles run past Discovery

By Will Hammock

will.hammock@ gwinnettdailypost.com

SUWANEE — Najji Germana made sure the hangover from last week’s collapse against Mill Creek didn’t last long.

The Collins Hill speedster scored three touchdowns on his first four carries Friday night, kickstarting the Eagles’ 45-12 victory over visiting Discovery. A pair of short TD runs bookended an 81-yard sprint for a score and helped build a 32-0 lead at halftime.

Despite a see-saw third quarter, the game went to a running clock in the fourth quarter because of the mercy rule.

“We wanted to bounce back and get back on track,” Germana said.

“After that loss in our first region game, it hurt us. So we came back and started working at practice and getting better every day.”

Germana had 10 carries for 134 yards, and fellow back Evan Anderson finished off the victory with a big third quarter. Anderson had 12 rushes for 141 yards and two scores, both in the wild third quarter.

But the first half, and the big lead, was built by Germana and the offensive line. “(Germana’s) a really good football player,” Collins Hill head coach Lenny Gregory said. “He’s been one of those selfless kids.

Sometimes in this offense, you might not get as many touches as you want. But he has not complained.

Tonight was just his night.

He got his number called and he took advantage of it. He made some really outstanding plays and I’m really happy for him. He’s

a tremendous young man.”

The Eagles rushed 44 times for 348 yards, attempting just four passes.

Jon-Michael Findlay did complete three of those for 107 yards, including two to Justin Daughtry for 91 yards.

“What we did is we came out and went back to who we are,” Gregory said.

“We were determined that we were going to run the football. We were going to run our offense and we were going to play sound

and not make mistakes. I thought the first half was almost perfect. I was real pleased with that. I was a little disappointed in the second half. We showed some signs of that immaturity, where we just go away for awhile.”

It was still a nice rebound win for Collins Hill (3-3, 1-1 Region 6-AAAAAAA), which gave up three TDs to Mill Creek in the final two minutes of the second quarter last Friday. That meltdown led to a lopsided

loss to the Hawks.

The convincing victory went to the Eagles this time thanks to an impressive first half, with Germana leading the way.

The senior’s 1-yard plunge was the game’s first score and less than two minutes later his 81-yard TD jaunt made it 15-0.

His 3-yard scoring run, followed by a 14-yard TD run by Jalen Johnson and a 21-yard field goal by Rodolfo Gonzales pushed the halftime edge to 32-0.

“We wanted to play offensively with balance,” Ford said. “We needed to get better at things and we worked on them.”

Neither team was able to sustain a drive in the third quarter until Clarke Central’s Elijah Smith intercepted a tipped McLaughlin pass to set up the Gladiators on the Wolves’ 11. Three plays later, Jonathan Sewell scored from the four and the point after cut it to 31-7.

Buford’s final scores came on an eight-yard completion from Will Westmoreland to Matt Walton and an Xalan Taylor five-yard run.

“Coming in we knew we couldn’t let their quarterback (Mangel) sit in the pocket,” Ford said. “We did a good job in preparing to pressure him and not let him get comfortable.”

Christian Turner took it the final 13 yards in a bruising run that ended with a pile of players being pushed over the goal line.

Derrian Brown then rushed for an eight-yard touchdown with just over three minutes left in the half and the Wolves held a comfortable 31-0 lead in the locker room.

In the first half, Buford outgained its guests 261125. McLaughlin accounted for 126 of the Wolves’ yards through the air, while Brown and Austin Turner led the ground attack with 49 and 48 yards, respectively.

North Carolina coach Larry Fedora, whose team fell to 1-4 overall and 0-3 in the ACC, said, “The defense played 44 snaps in the first half, so there was no doubt they were going to end up wearing down.

You can’t have them out there for 76 snaps against that offense and expect them not to be worn down at the end of the game.”

COLLEGE FOOTBALL ROUNDUP

FSU tops Wake in final minute The Sports Xchange WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. — James Blackman threw a 40-yard touchdown pass to Auden Tate with 53 seconds remaining as Florida State escaped with a 26-19 victory over Wake Forest to win its first game of the season Saturday.

The Seminoles (1-2, 1-1 Atlantic Coast Conference) drove into Wake Forest territory with less than two minutes to play but chose to punt on fourth-and-2 from the 42-yard line.

Three plays later, Florida State had the ball back after a punt, and Blackman delivered on the first snap. It was only the second reception of the game for Tate.

Wake Forest worked the ball to the Florida State 38 for a final snap with 6 seconds left, but quarterback John Wolford’s pass was knocked away in the end zone.

Wake Forest (4-1, 1-1) was aiming for its first 5-0 start since 2006, when it won the ACC title.

Top 25 No. 4 Penn State 45, Indiana 14 STATE COLLEGE, Pa. — Heisman Trophy hopeful Saquon Barkley returned the opening kickoff for a touchdown and No. 4 Penn State built a 28-0 first-quarter lead en route to a 45-14 victory over Indiana on Saturday afternoon.

DaeSean Hamilton also caught three touchdown passes — two from quarterback Trace McSorley and another from Barkley — as the Lions improved to 5-0 for the first time since 2008.

No. 10 Wisconsin 33, Northwestern 24 MADISON, Wis. — Coach Paul Chryst takes pride in the emphasis that No. 10 Wisconsin places on its defense.

The Badgers have allowed 14 second-half points in four wins this season, with two late, fourth-quarter touchdowns occurring during their 33-24 win over Northwestern on Saturday in the Big Ten Conference opener for both teams at Camp Randall Stadium.

The Wildcats (2-2, 0-1 Big Ten) snapped Wisconsin’s nopoints streak that stretched 115 minutes and 12 seconds and seven quarters.

The Badgers (4-0, 1-0) collected season highs with eight sacks and 11 tackles for loss.

No. 17 Louisville 55, Murray State 10 LOUISVILLE — Quarterback Lamar Jackson passed for 237 yards and three touchdowns, also running for 100 yards, in one half of work as No. 17 Louisville crushed in-state FCS foe Murray State 55-10 on Saturday at Papa John’s Cardinal Stadium.

Jackson, the 2016 Heisman Trophy winner, rushed for a

touchdown among his seven carries. His exit from the game came with the Cardinals up 35-3 and in complete control.

No. 18 South Florida 61, East Carolina 31 GREENVILLE, N.C. — A battle of dual-threat quarterbacks for a half quickly turned one-sided on Saturday, and the result was a decisive win for No. 18 South Florida.

The Bulls, behind versatile senior quarterback Quinton Flowers and an aggressive defense, turned in a dominant secondhalf performance Saturday afternoon in rolling to a 61-31 American Athletic Conference victory over East Carolina.

No. 21 Florida 38, Vanderbilt 24 GAINESVILLE, Fla. — Just as quickly as Luke Del Rio regained the starting quarterback job, his season is over.

The Florida junior broke his left collarbone during Saturday’s 38-24 victory over Vanderbilt in SEC play. Redshirt freshman Feleipe Franks came off the bench to go 10 of 14 passing for 185 yards for the No. 21 Gators (3-1, 3-0 SEC).

Gators coach Jim McElwain said Del Rio will undergo season-ending surgery Monday.

ACC Maryland 31, Minnesota 24 MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. — Running back Ty Johnson’s 34-yard touchdown run with 1:10 remaining gave Maryland a 31-24 victory over Minnesota on Saturday.

Third-string quarterback Max Bortenschlager, pressed into action after Tyrrell Pigrome and Kasim Hill sustained seasonending ACL injuries earlier this year, finished 18 of 28 for 154 yards and two touchdown passes for the Terrapins (3-1, 1-0 Big Ten). Johnson gained 130 yards on 18 carries.

N.C. State 33, Syracuse 25 RALEIGH, N.C. — Nyheim Hines ran for 115 yards and a touchdown as North Carolina State won its fourth game in a row by defeating Syracuse 3325 in Atlantic Coast Conference football Saturday afternoon at Carter-Finley Stadium.

Hines scored on a 1-yard run with 9:52 remaining to thwart Syracuse’s momentum as the Wolfpack (4-1, 2-0 ACC) won their conference home opener.

SEC Kentucky 24, E. Michigan 20 LEXINGTON, Ky. — Kentucky took advantage of two special teams mishaps by Eastern Michigan in the second half to beat the Eagles 24-20 in a nonconference game on Saturday.

The Wildcats (4-1) took a 17-14 lead with 6:17 left in the third quarter on Austin MacGinnis’ 39-yard field goal after Tristan Yeomans recovered a muffed punt return by Eastern Michigan’s Eddie Daugherty at the Eagles’ 42-yard line.

Arkansas 42, N.M. State 24 FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — Senior quarterback Austin Allen passed for 264 yards and three touchdowns, and Arkansas gained 494 yards in a 42-24 victory over New Mexico State on Saturday.

Allen completed 19 of 26 passes. The Razorbacks (2-2) scored touchdowns on six of their first seven possessions.

BULLDOZED

No. 7 Georgia throttles Tennessee 41-0

By Anthony Dasher The Sports Xchange

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — Seventh-ranked Georgia continues to assert itself as a team to watch in the SEC. Saturday’s 41-0 thrashing of Tennessee would seem to be a good indicator of that.

The Bulldogs (5-0, 2-0 SEC) dominated the game in every way possible, churning up 380 yards of offense while holding Tennessee to just 142 and forcing four turnovers (two interceptions and two fumble recoveries).

The loss marked the first time the Volunteers (3-2, 0-2) have been shut out since 1994.

Quarterback Jake Fromm accounted for three of Georgia’s touchdowns, rushing for two and throwing for another score.

Running back Nick Chubb’s return to Neyland Stadium was certainly more enjoyable than his last trip to Knoxville in 2015.

On his first carry in the game two years ago, Chubb tore up his knee, forcing him to miss the rest of the season. On Saturday, Chubb enjoyed some sweet revenge, carrying 16 times for 109 yards.

Tennessee, meanwhile, continues to spiral.

Volunteers fans were already growing more skeptical of coach Butch Jones, and boos rained

down late in the third quarter after Sony Michel’s 21-yard touchdown made the score 31-0.

Brian Herrien added 1-yard touchdown run for the Bulldogs early in the fourth, and by the time kicker David Marvin kicked a 19-yard field goal with 5:34 to play, what was a sold-out stadium of 102,455 was whittled down to a few thousand Bulldogs fans.

Georgia couldn’t have wished for a better first half.

The Bulldogs dominated the first 30 minutes, getting touchdown runs of 9 and 4 yards from Fromm, who also accounted for

Georgia’s first touchdown on a 12-yard pass to Javon Wims.

A 38-yard field goal by Rodrigo Blankenship accounted for the rest of the points.

Tennessee, meanwhile, didn’t sniff much yardage at all.

Georgia held the Vols to 64 total yards, including just 11 through the air for quarterback Quinten Dormady, who completed just three of the first 12 passes he attempted with two interceptions, one each from Tyrique McGhee and J.R. Reed.

Later in the game, the Bulldogs were credited

with a blocked punt when Trevor Daniel’s kick went right into the line and off the facemask of Georgia’s D’Andre Walker.

Notes: Georgia K Rodrigo Blankenship saw his snap of consecutive touchbacks snapped at 18 when his fifth kickoff of the afternoon only made it to the goal line. … Georgia lost LB Reggie Carter to a concussion and Trenton Thompson to a right knee injury. Neither player returned. … Tennessee honored former quarterback Peyton Manning at halftime for his introduction into the College Football Hall of Fame.

The Sports Xchange FOXBOROUGH, Mass.

— Brad Guzan stopped two late shots en route to his seventh shutout of the season to help the Atlanta United to a scoreless draw with the New England Revolution on Saturday night.

In the 87th minute, New England’s Lee Nguyen drove a shot from the left side that nearly snuck in

over Guzan’s head, but the goalkeeper punched it off the bar.

Guzan then leaped to catch a header by Juan Agudelo off a free kick by Nguyen seconds before the final whistle to preserve the clean sheet.

Atlanta (15-8-8), which is headed to the playoffs in its first season, is still fighting New York City FC and Chicago for an openinground bye.

Brad Knighton made two saves for New England (11-15-6), which saw its playoff hopes dented with two regular-season games remaining. The Revs are 1-1-1 since Tom Soehn took over as coach Sept. 19 for the fired Jay Heaps.

Guzan was tested in the 62nd minute when he easily corralled a header from Agudelo and a drive from Nguyen.

Behind Guzan (6-1-5),

the United did not allow the Revolution to score in the two-game season series. Atlanta handed New England its worst loss in franchise history 7-0 on Sept. 13.

After a scoreless first half, red-hot Josef Martinez nearly broke the tie in the 47th minute for the United when he collected a cross from Julian Gressel, but his shot from the center of the box was blocked.

Falcons, Bills pit strength against strength The Sports Xchange Atlanta has won its first three games by an average of seven points. The Falcons will play their second game at MercedesBenz Stadium after a grand-opening win over the Green Bay Packers on Sept. 17.

Another tough test awaits the Falcons (3-0) as Buffalo (2-1) comes to town. The Bills have achieved early success under first-year coach Sean McDermott, who has overseen wins over the New York Jets and Denver Broncos.

The upcoming game matches strength against strength as Atlanta’s high-powered offense squares off against Buffalo’s punishing defense.

The Falcons rank fifth in

“I think their defense has done a good job,” Ryan said to reporters this week.

“The secondary has been stout. The defense in general hasn’t given up many points. They have played really well in the first three weeks.”

Yet Buffalo must focus on the run as well as the pass against Atlanta, which offers a variety of ways to score.

We’re going to continue to do that. We feel like we are going to hit them when we get those opportunities.”

Buffalo’s defensive linemen will be key to preventing Ryan from feeling comfortable in the pocket and orchestrating long scoring drives. The Bills are hopeful that defensive tackle Marcell Dareus will return from an ankle injury that sidelined him a week ago.

“I’m feeling good,” Dareus said. “We’re going to take it day by day and see how things go. Just trying to get used to the braces

A solid defense alone will not be enough for the Buffalo to win. McDermott’s club will need to improve upon its seasonto-date rankings in points per game (16.7, No. 25 in the NFL) and yards per game (285.3, No. 26).

The Falcons’ defense ranks in the middle of the pack so far this year.

They are No. 17 in points allowed (22.0) and No. 15 in yards per game allowed (330.7).

Injured Atlanta linebacker Vic Beasley (hamstring) resumed running this week but does not figure to play in Week 4. Defensive lineman Courtney Upshaw (ankle) also likely remains out.

Pats prepare for another mobile QB in Panthers’ Newton The Sports Xchange Having spent last Sunday afternoon chasing rookie Deshaun Watson all over the Gillette Stadium turf, the New England Patriots should be better prepared for Cam Newton when they see the former MVP and his visiting Carolina Panthers.

Newton is bigger, stronger and more experienced than Watson, whose legs and right arm forced New England to rally late for a dramatic 36-33 victory over the Houston Texans.

“I think both guys probably have a few plays that are designed runs, and then there are other plays that are improvised runs,” New England coach Bill Belichick said. “I think when you’re talking about mobile quarterbacks, guys that are tough to handle, tackle, can throw, run, make good decisions — I mean, I would put Newton at the top of the list.

“Not saying that there aren’t a lot of other good players that do that, but I would say, of all the guys we play or have played recently in the last couple of years, I would definitely put him — he’s the hardest guy to deal with. He makes good decisions, he can run, he’s strong, he’s hard to tackle. He can do a lot of different things, beat you in a lot of different ways.

The Panthers, who are playing without tight end Greg Olson, out with a broken foot, opened with two victories and were then clubbed by the New Orleans Saints last Sunday at home. They received some good news when wideout Kelvin Benjamin practiced fully Thursday and is expected to play after exiting last week’s game with a knee injury.

The Patriots opened with a Thursday night, bannercelebration loss to Kansas City but have won two straight — with Tom Brady named AFC offensive player of the week after each win. He threw for five touchdowns against Houston, including the winner (and a subsequent 2-point conversion) with 23 seconds left.

New Orleans vs. Miami Today, 9:30 a.m. (London) The New Orleans Saints and

Miami Dolphins are in London this week preparing for a game at Wembley Stadium.

With both teams already struggling in the standings, this is no vacation.

“We’re completely focused,” Saints defensive end Cameron Jordan told The Times-Picayune after watching an Arsenal soccer game on Monday. “Our tourism part is over.”

The Saints may have an issue with both their starting offensive tackles as rising star Terron Armstead (shoulders) did not practice Wednesday and veteran Zach Strief (knee) was a limited participant.

Miami (1-1) can cause problems with a pass rush that features two five-time Pro Bowl players, defensive end Cameron Wake and defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh. And if Armstead and Strief are out or weakened, Miami figures to have a big advantage.

Tennessee at Houston Today, 1 p.m.

Even before their physical dismantling of the Seattle Seahawks last Sunday, the Tennessee Titans had been cast as favorites in the AFC South, a title bestowed on them in part based upon their strong play last season, and in part because of the expectations of their developing roster.

A pair of convincing victories in succession have only fortified the belief that the Titans (2-1) are poised to ascend to the throne in their division.

That the Houston Texans (1-2), who have claimed back-to-back AFC South titles, stand in their way from a macro perspective and in the micro view of this weekend’s schedule seems fitting, for if Tennessee is to fulfill the promise of its burgeoning talent, it will have to go through Houston to achieve the desired result.

Pittsburgh at Baltimore Today, 1 p.m.

The Pittsburgh Steelers and Baltimore Ravens continue their hard-hitting, spirited rivalry at M&T Bank Stadium with first place in the AFC North at stake.

Both teams are also looking to bounce back from disappointing losses.

The Ravens (2-1) were demolished by the Jacksonville Jaguars 44-7 in London last week.

The Steelers (2-1) were stunned 23-17 in overtime by the Bears in Chicago.

Still, neither team expects to have any type of carryover from those games, especially with the history between the two franchises.

Twelve of the past 18 matchups between Baltimore and Pittsburgh were decided by three points or fewer.

Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco is trying to recover from the worst game of his career. He completed eight of 18 pass attempts for a career-worst 28 yards with two interceptions against the Jaguars.

Flacco finished with a passer rating of 12.0.

Detroit at Minnesota Today, 1 p.m.

Running the football has been a chore for the Detroit Lions ever since Barry Sanders retired, but

even though the team is coming off its worst rushing performance of the season, there’s hope that things might finally be clicking in the run game.

The Lions, the worst rushing team in the NFL over the last two seasons, currently rank 17th in the category at 97 yards per game.

“I think we’re getting close,” quarterback Matthew Stafford said. “We’ve got some backs with some talent that can make you pay if you miss-fit a gap or whatever it is, and our guys up front are fighting tooth and nail for those yards.”

The Lions haven’t been especially efficient running the football this year at just 3.7 yards per carry, but they have been committed to the run, which is a change from past seasons.

Leading rusher Ameer Abdullah has 46 carries already on the young season, more than all but 12 other backs in the NFL, and the Lions had more rushing attempts (32) than passing attempts (21) in a Week 2 win over the New York Giants.

Cincinnati at Cleveland Today, 1 p.m.

The Browns and Cincinnati Bengals, both 0-3, meet in FirstEnergy Stadium in Cleveland, each still looking for an identity as the season reaches the quarter pole.

Browns head coach Hue Jackson was the Bengals offensive coordinator in 2014 and 2015 before leaving Cincinnati in January of 2016 to become head coach of the Browns. His knowledge of Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton and wide receiver A.J. Green should benefit the Browns in their defensive preparation, but any advantage they get from that is wiped out by the Bengals knowing what Jackson likes to do offensively.

The Bengals, after struggling to score in the first two games, scored 24 points last week against the Green Bay Packers, but could not hold on and lost 27-24 in overtime. Still, Bengals head coach Marvin Lewis is encouraged that maybe the offense is getting untracked after Dalton threw one touchdown pass to Green and another to Giovani Bernard for Cincinnati’s first two offensive touchdowns of the season.

L.A. Rams at Dallas Today, 1 p.m.

The Dallas Cowboys (2-1) face the surprising Rams (2-1) at AT&T Stadium.

The offense will try to get back on track, controlling the ball and the clock with its running game against a Rams team that struggles to stop the run.

The Cowboys have not been able to sustain drives in 2017, which was a hallmark of their success in last season’s run to a 13-3 record.

Most of their scoring drives have been while working with a short field, as five of their seven touchdown drives started in plus territory.

The Cowboys had seven touchdown drives in the first three games last year that were 72 yards or longer.

“We have to just keep banging away and we have to have good balance between run and pass,”

Cowboys head coach Jason Garrett said, “and we’ll continue to strive for that.”

Jacksonville at N.Y. Jets Today, 1 p.m.

Of all the surprising Week 3 outcomes in the NFL, two of the most improbable performances were blowout victories from the Jacksonville Jaguars and New York Jets.

Both teams look to carry that momentum into today’s game at MetLife Stadium.

Jacksonville beat the Baltimore Ravens 44-7 in London in what was the Jaguars’ largest margin of victory in 10 years. And the Jets nearly earned their first shutout in eight seasons, dominating the Miami Dolphins, 20-6.

The Jaguars, who are 2-1 for the first time since 2007, are favored on the road for the first time since they played the Indianapolis Colts in 2011 with Curtis Painter filling in for the injured Peyton Manning.

Philadelphia at L.A. Chargers Today, 4:05 p.m.

Excuse the Los Angeles Chargers for looking at the Philadelphia Eagles with envy when the two teams meet.

Philadelphia has two things that Los Angeles would love to possess: victories and the ability to finish close games. Right before the winless Chargers’ eyes at the StubHub Center will be the Eagles (2-1), a team that wins in the closing seconds.

Philadelphia trucks west to Southern California for just the third time since 1989. It does so looking to add on to last Sunday’s thrilling win, when Jake Elliott kicked a franchise-record long 61-yard field goal in the final seconds to beat the New York Giants 27-24.

Stunned Eagles fans might still be hooting and hollering.

The Chargers (0-3) know too well about being on the opposite sideline when those dog piles commence after come-frombehind wins.

L.A., winners of nine games in two-plus seasons, has mastered the art of losing close games. It lost an NFL-high eight games last year by seven or fewer points and started this year with two in similar fashion.

The Chargers know this game is essentially a must-win. If the Chargers go winless after four games, with three of them being at home, that relegates them to also-ran status on the crowded L.A. sports scene.

N.Y. Giants at Tampa Bay Today, 4:05 p.m.

The New York Giants and Tampa Bay Buccaneers will bring different forms of desperation into their matchup at Raymond James Stadium.

The 0-3 Giants are staring at some staggering history. Since the 1970 merger, only five teams started 0-3 and made the playoffs. However, no team has pulled off that feat since the NFL realigned into its current divisions in 2002.

The Bucs (1-1), after a disjointed start to the season because of Hurricane Irma, are reeling with a series of defensive injuries. They are expected to be without their two best linebackers, Kwon Alexander (hamstring)

and Lavonte David (ankle), who did not practice Wednesday.

Additionally, defensive linemen Gerald McCoy (ankle) and Robert Ayers (knee) have been limited.

“Our mindset is we have to get this win right here,” New York quarterback Eli Manning said.

“Get our first win and go from there. So we have a long football season left, and anything is possible, but still the focus is on the next game no matter if we’re 3-0 or 1-2 or whatever. Next game is the most important one. That’s where we are right now.”

And that is where Tampa Bay is, too.

The Bucs, coming off a 34-17 road loss against the Minnesota Vikings, already seem at an important juncture. After facing the Giants, they host the Super Bowl champion New England Patriots in a short-week Thursday night matchup before heading on the road for two consecutive contests.

San Francisco at Arizona Today, 4:05 p.m.

If desperate times call for desperate measures, what do desperate NFL teams call for when their seasons are conceivably on the line as early as Week 4?

The struggling Arizona Cardinals (1-2) and equally distressing San Francisco 49ers (0-3) are each desperately in need of a positive jolt. The problem is, one of them figures to be headed back to the drawing board wondering if there’s enough time to turn things around after the teams meet at University of Phoenix Stadium.

Can a desperate team play better because of its desperation?

“I think that every week in the NFL is a big week and is tough. I don’t really look at it that way. I think sometimes if you get desperate, you could play worse,” 49ers quarterback Brian Hoyer said.

Both teams are struggling to score — the Cardinals are averaging just 18.6 points per game, the 49ers 17.0.

Oakland at Denver Today, 4:25 p.m.

Von Miller and Khalil Mack, two of the NFL’s elite pass rushers, won’t be able to sneak up on anyone.

The Denver Broncos are working overtime on protection schemes to try to blunt Mack’s impact. Ditto the Oakland Raiders in their bid to slow down Miller.

Mack, last season’s Defensive Player of the Year, has seven sacks in six career games against the Broncos, including a memorable five-sack effort in December 2015. He’ll be facing a revamped Broncos’ offensive line that includes rookie Garett Bolles at left tackle and Menelik Watson, a former Raider, at right tackle.

While the Broncos (2-1) have shown solid improvement overall as an offense, particularly in the effectiveness of their running game, their pass protection has shown some vulnerability.

Quarterback Trevor Siemian has been sacked nine times in three games and ensuring he remains upright enough to effectively run the Denver attack means

containing Mack.

Indianapolis at Seattle Today, 8:25 p.m. (NBC) As the Indianapolis Colts head to Seattle to take on the Seahawks in a prime-time matchup, the schedule-makers must be experiencing a letdown.

Before the season started, this game looked to be loaded with firepower on the offensive side of the football. But Colts quarterback Andrew Luck has yet to play this season and won’t play today. The rushing attack of the Seahawks begs to have Marshawn Lynch back. So instead of fireworks, this is simply a matchup of two 1-2 teams that have fired some duds in the first three weeks of the season.

The Colts are coming off their first win, having defeated the Cleveland Browns in Week 3.

Quarterback Jacoby Brissett, who has only been on the roster a month, rushed for two scores and threw for another. The second-year player is grasping the new playbook and finding some continuity with his teammates.

“Brissett’s done a great job in a very short time,” Indianapolis coach Chuck Pagano said.

Communicating with his newer teammates is something Brissett will have to work on this week in practice. CenturyLink Field is always one of the loudest stadiums in the NFL and Pagano acknowledged that challenge.

“Bring earmuffs to practice this week because we’re going to have the noise blaring,” Pagano told reporters. “(The Seahawks fans) make it tough to operate on offense.”

While the noise may be an issue, Seattle’s one-time top defensive squad shouldn’t be.

The Seahawks, who lost to the Tennessee Titans 33-27 last week, rank 23rd in the NFL in total defense and have struggled to stop the run in consecutive weeks.

Washington at Kansas City Monday, 8:30 p.m. (ESPN) The Washington Redskins are touchdown underdogs this weekend when they travel to Arrowhead Stadium for a Monday Night Football game against the Kansas City Chiefs.

There’s good reason for that.

The Redskins missed the playoffs last season with an atrocious defense that couldn’t get off the field on third down, they’re facing a 3-0 team that has already won at New England and have never won a game at Arrowhead Stadium.

None of that sounds promising. But the Redskins aren’t exactly quaking in fear. At 2-1, they are tied for first in the NFC East. And the defense has been utterly transformed to a group that can stop the run. Washington has allowed 187 rushing yards in three games. They took on one of the NFL’s best offensive lines vs. Oakland last Sunday and stopped it cold (32 rushing yards).

“These guys have scored a touchdown of 50-plus yards nine games in a row,” Redskins head coach Jay Gruden said. “They’re a big-play team and if we can limit the big plays and make them methodically move the ball down the field, I think we can have some success.”

Lane highlights Grayson’s rout

By Collin Huguley Staff Correspondent

LOGANVILLE — It was only the second quarter of Grayson’s Homecoming matchup with the Ramsay (Ala.) Rams, but Grayson wide receiver Jaquavius Lane seemed to put the game away with a jaw-dropping touchdown.

Lane took a screen pass from quarterback D.J. Irons and looked to be trapped around the line of scrimmage in the flat.

But the senior wideout put on a display of moves, juking and spinning his way through multiple Ramsay defenders before taking off down the sideline for a 75-yard touchdown to give the Rams a 28-0 lead just over five minutes remaining in the first half.

“I did see the linebacker stayed in the box,” Irons said. “It was supposed to be a run play and I got out of it and just threw it to Jaquavius and it turned out to be a good thing.”

Lane’s touchdown was the highlight of another impressive win for the top-ranked Rams (5-0), who dominated on both sides of the ball en route to a 42-16 win over Ramsay (4-2) on Friday night.

But the game was messy and penalty-ridden through much of the contest. “(Our performance was) sloppy,” Grayson head coach Christian Hunnicutt said. “That is our fault as coaches. … What you tolerate, you encourage. That is going to be our message to coaches and to our players.”

The home team was in control from the beginning, as it scored a touchdown on its opening drive. On third-and-11 and on the verge of going three-and-out, Grayson running back Ronald Thompkins had a 46-yard catch-and-run to keep the drive alive.

It was capped off a few plays later by an Irons TD run from two yards out.

Irons scored again on a short run less than two minutes later after a bad

snap on a Ramsay punt set Grayson up on the Ramsay 25-yard-line.

“When we get inside the 5, that is all me,” Irons said.

Irons (10-for-18, 194 yards, four total TDs) tossed a pair of secondquarter TDs, the first from 23 yards out to Kenyon Jackson, and then Lane’s explosive TD later in the quarter.

“We knew we had a talented opponent today and we had to come out here and do our thing,” Irons said.

Ramsay finally got on the board in the final two minutes of the half with a sack of Irons in the end zone. Grayson held Ramsay to just 39 yards of offense in the first half.

“Our defense played pretty well aside from all of the penalties,” Hunnicutt said.

Immediately out of the locker rooms, Grayson scored again to ensure the road team that the second half would be more of the same.

After forcing a quick three-and-out, Grayson started on the Ramsay 46-yard-line and scored in short order. It was a Thompkins 23-yard TD run that gave the Rams a 35-2 cushion.

Thompkins (17 rushes, 103 yards, two TDs) added another TD run in the third quarter and Ramsay scored its first and only TD on an 82-yard bomb from Isaiah Bradford to Kendall Gardner to make it 42-9.

After that point, Grayson threw in its reserves.

Ramsay added another long TD pass from Bradford to Garner to make it a little closer in the end.

However, it was another convincing Grayson win and the defending state champions improved to 5-0 on the year.

But moving forward, Grayson feels it must play more disciplined football to remain unbeaten. “(Giving up the long TD passes) was a byproduct of not mashing the gas and not being completely focused and locked in,” Hunnicutt said.

WILD FINISH Parkview slips past Norcross 31-28

By Scott Smith

scott.smith@ gwinnettdailypost.com

NORCROSS — Only a short distance kept overtime from happening Friday night at Norcross.

All-American kicker Jake Camarda, whose longest field goal is 55 yards, attempted to top that with a 57-yard kick as time expired to force OT with Parkview, only to have his effort barely miss going over the crossbar.

The Georgia commitment’s miss preserved a 31-28 win for the Panthers, who built a 24-6 lead in the third quarter only to see Norcross (2-4, 1-1 Region 7-AAAAAAA) regain the lead in the fourth. But Parkview took advantage of a late turnover to turn the tables once again.

“All the credit in the world to Norcross for not laying down,” Parkview head coach Eric Godfree said. “In a time when it looked like we were in control, bam, bam, (Norcross) came roaring back.

We needed a comeback win against a top program like this.”

Friday’s game also marked the return of Parkview quarterback Fred Payton, who suffered a shoulder injury two weeks ago at home against Tift County.

The senior signal caller showed no ill effects of the injury, passing for 163 yards on 11 of 22 attempts with two touchdowns and one TD. He also ran the ball well, gaining 72 yards on 18 carries, despite being dropped for negative plays

down the left side for a 43yard bomb.

The momentum of that Parkview 0 14 10 7 — 31 score carried over to the Norcross 3 3 7 15 — 28 third quarter when the FIRST QUARTER Panthers took the opening Norcross: Jake Camarda 51 FG 4:03 drive of the second half, SECOND QUARTER once again covering 80 Norcross: Cole Hanna 22 FG 10:56 yards on eight plays, endParkview: Will Marshall 4 pass from Fred Payton (Nolan McCord ing with a 1-yard TD run kick) 7:24 from Payton.

McCoy finished the night with 166 yards and two scores on six catches, while Williams ended with 293 yards on 20 of 30 passes with two scores and two interceptions.

Parkview, trailing 28-24, tried to answer, only to have the Norcross defense again force a punt after a three-and-out.

The kick from Gerson Montano sailed high into Norcross territory, but the kick was muffed, and Parkview fell on the ball at the Norcross 46 to get new life.

Seven plays later, Christian Malloy (nine carries, 57 yards, TD) scored from six yards out to put Parkview back in front 3431 with 1:25 left.

Norcross put together one more drive and reached the Parkview 40, giving Camarda one last shot to send the game to overtime.

“We had all the momentum there at the end until we had the muffed punt,” said Norcross head coach Keith Maloof, who served his suspension from last week’s ejection by watching the game via video feed in the fieldhouse. “Everybody played their hearts out in a good high school football game.

“The offense did a good job of moving the ball down the field on that last drive, but you can’t keep asking a kid to kick 55and 57-yard field goals every week.”

Parkview’s defense also did a nice job of keeping the running game of Norcross in check by holding the Blue Devils to 36 yards on the ground.

third quarter.

Carter had four catches for 117 yards and two touchdowns, and Edwards spread the ball around to six different targets for Mountain View (5-1, 1-1).

Duluth (2-3, 0-1) was never able to disrupt Edwards, especially after he got into a groove after the first quarter.

“I thought our kids played hard, but they’ve got a wide receiver going to Georgia Tech and they’ve got a quarterback that’s really good,” Duluth coach Bob Swank said.

“They have an offensive line that looks like a college offensive line.

“They wore us down.”

Mountain View’s offense was efficient in the first half, stringing together TD drives of 75 and 86 yards on its first two possessions.

The Bears picked up the pace, scoring 21 points in the second quarter to turn a 6-0 game at the end of the first quarter into a 27-0 halftime lead.

“We have the potential to do that,” Bach said. “If we execute and protect and block and don’t have penalties on offense, we should be able to do that kind of stuff.

“It’s a matter of us beating us sometimes, but we finally put it together for a few drives and it looked good.”

Edwards completed 14

of 18 passes for 199 yards and three TDs, with one interception in the first half.

Mountain View’s Keelan Marion struck first with a 23-yard TD catch for the only score in the first quarter.

Less than five minutes later, Davian Criss raced into the middle of the end zone to catch Edwards’ second TD pass, giving Mountain View a 13-0 lead in the opening seconds of the second quarter.

Five minutes later, Carter jumped up, reached over a Duluth defender in the corner of the end zone and caught the first of his two TD passes from Edwards.

Things didn’t go as

smoothly for the Wildcats.

Duluth didn’t get its offense clicking until the Wildcats were trailing 34-0 early in the third quarter.

Quarterback Jalil El-Amin connected with Kevon Rouse on a 14-yard TD pass, but that was it.

Duluth managed just 96 yards of total offense in the first half, with 54 of those yards coming on a pair of Travion Hampton receptions.

“I think it was them more than us. They’re a big, fast, physical defense,” Swank said. “I thought we had a good offensive scheme and moved the ball a little bit, but we couldn’t finish drives.”

PREP FOOTBALL ROUNDUP

Black Knights escape with win over Lakeside

From Staff Reports

ATLANTA — The Central Gwinnett Black Knights found themselves in a dog fight with the Lakeside-DeKalb Vikings Friday night, but it was the away team that made the big plays when it counted most.

Behind 287 yards of total offense (232 passing and 55 rushing) and five touchdowns from Central quarterback Jarren Williams (two rushing and three passing), the Black Knights walked away with a 38-36 win.

Trailing the Vikings Jalen 28-24 Williams heading into the fourth quarter, Williams led the Black Knights on back-to-back touchdown drives to start the fourth quarter, both of which were finished off by touchdown runs from the Kentucky commit.

With the win, Central improves to 4-2 on the season and picked up its first region win.

“When we played fast, we got the ball in the end zone and did what we had to do,” Central head coach Todd Wofford said.

The Central offense punted the ball just one time in the game, but a costly interception and sloppy play on defense allowed the Vikings to hang around for much of the game.

“Right now we haven’t played a clean game all year,” Wofford said.

“You’re always happy with a win, but this one was very frustrating for the amount of mistakes that we made out there.

We tried to slow things downs to help out the defense, and when we slow down, we get out of rhythm.”

Williams, who was under duress all game, managed to make the most of his opportunities, and never allowed the pressure to get to him.

“They got up on us a little bit and we just kept fighting,” Williams said. “We’ve got a lot of football left so we’re just staying positive.”

Central let a 10-point, third-quarter lead slip away and trailed by four heading into the fourth quarter, but that didn’t bother the Black Knights’ offense.

Williams needed just six plays on Central’s first possession to open the fourth quarter and pounded the ball into the end zone on a QB keeper from four yards out to put the visitors back out in front 31-28.

And after the Vikings only three-and-out of the game, Central added another touchdown, this time on an eight-play, 44-yard drive finished off by a 5-yard TD run from Williams.

The Central defense couldn’t quite put the Vikings away, though, and watched them cut the lead to two points after they found the end zone on fourth-and-goal, and added a 2-point conversion.

But that was as close as they got.

Central recovered an onside kick attempt by the Vikings and ran the clock out to win the game.

“As long as you have Williams back there in the backfield you’ve always

got a chance to score,” Wofford said. “I just told 2 that I was going to keep it in his hands. I trust his decision making out there because he’s that good.

He made the right decision and got the ball in the end zone and put us on his back.”

Skylar Adams led the Black Knights in receiving with 143 yards and two touchdowns.

Shiloh 14, Rockdale 12 CONYERS — Rockdale made a dramatic push to win inside the final minute, but Shiloh held on and edged the homestanding Bulldogs 14-12 on Friday night.

Late in the fourth quarter, the Bulldogs blocked a Shiloh punt and set up the offense at the 14-yard line. Rockdale eventually faced a fourth-and-inches at the 4, but fumbled the ball.

The Generals recovered inside the 5 and ran out the clock.

The Bulldogs had taken a 12-6 lead on a 3-yard scoring run by Jermaine Mcsweet late in the third quarter, but the Generals responded with the tying score early in the fourth period as quarterback Jase Ivey connected with wide receiver Dakota Thomas on a 9-yard scoring strike. It was the two-point conversion after this touchdown that gave Shiloh its ultimate margin of victory.

As the first quarter expired, the Generals were in the middle of a solid drive in which they had driven to the 31-yard line.

Early in the second quarter, Shiloh faced a fourth-and-6 at the 28. The Rockdale defense finally broke as Ivey connected with wide receiver Joshua Lue for a pass down to the 4-yard line, setting up a first and goal.

On the very next play, running back Ras Johnson found a lane and ran it in for the score. The two-point conversion failed, but Shiloh had a 6-0 advantage just 20 seconds into the second period.

The Bulldogs’ best drive up to this point began a few minutes later, when the Generals fumbled a punt and Rockdale recovered at the 48-yard line.

Eventually, facing a third-and-11 from the 49, Rockdale quarterback Justin Steele connected with wide receiver Torezz Alexander, who was run down at the 8-yard line by the Shiloh defenders.

This drive eventually stalled, and a fumble gave the Generals the ball at the 15. Rockdale’s defense, helped by a sack from Lavar Washington, eventually backed Shiloh up all the way to the 1. Shiloh was forced to punt from the end zone, and the Bulldogs ended up with great field position. But they could not do anything with it and eventually punted back to the Generals.

Newton 30, South Gwinnett 8 SNELLVILLE — Coming off yet another close loss, South Gwinnett’s football team wanted to solve its early-game woes and open the region schedule with a win over a solid Newton team.

However, South’s offense was frustrated most of the night by the bend-but-not-break defense of Newton.

The Rams’ offense also pitched in enough to defeat South 30-8 Friday night.

“We are really happy to come in here and get our first region win of the year,” said Newton head coach Terrance Banks.

“Realizing that they had some very close losses, we expected a physical game and knew that we would have to be ready for their best effort.”

It was a night of frustration and missed opportunities for the South Gwinnett (1-5) offense.

“You have to give Newton a lot of credit, we knew their defensive front was physical and athletic,” South head coach Steve Davenport said. “We simply could not take advantage of the opportunities because of their tough defense.”

Newton (5-1) was the first team to take advantage of the big play. Jerrol Hines returned a Comet punt 20 yards to the South Gwinnett 40.

The Rams proceeded to put together a five-play scoring drive. Quarterback Myron Middlebrooks scrambled and found a wide open Michael Mathison for a 24-yard TD pass. Newton tried a trick play on the PAT, which failed, and the Rams led 6-0 with 5:03 left in the first quarter.

Following a great punt by South Gwinnett’s Derrick Lawrence, the Rams were pinned down at their own 2-yard line.

Newton finally avoided costly mistakes on this possession and put together a 15-play, 98yard scoring drive. The Rams converted on a key third and long to keep the drive alive as

Middlebrooks connected with Adarius Thomas on a middle screen which netted 24 yards and a first down.

Hines carried the final eight yards for the Ram TD to complete the long drive and give Newton control of the game.

Following a successful PAT, the Rams led 13-0 before halftime.

Late in the third quarter, Newton put together another long scoring drive of 75 yards. Victor Pinedo capped off the drive with a 20-yard field goal to push the Ram lead to 16-0.

The Comets’ offense finally shook off some of its offensive frustrations and scored late in the third quarter.

Amin Hall caught a swing pass from Treyvon Woodson and sprinted 60 yards into the end zone for a Comet TD. Forced to go for two, Woodson hit Derrick Lawrence in the corner of the end zone for a successful conversion, cutting the deficit to 16-8.

Hebron 29, Towns County 7 DACULA — With a field dedication ceremony and Homecoming festivities, it was easy to understand how the Hebron football team could be a little distracted.

However, the Lions overcame their slow start and rode the running game and the defense to their third region win on the season, a 29-7 triumph over Towns County on Friday night.

“We made some errors that we don’t usually make,” Hebron head coach Jeff Saturday said.

“It’s always good when you don’t play your best but still win 29-7.”

Hebron (4-1, 3-1 Region 8-A) started out slow, punting on its opening possession and yielding a 60-yard punt return on that first punt. The Lions fell behind in the game as Towns County took advantage of fantastic field position and scored in two plays, the second a 13yard run by Trent Bradshaw to put Hebron down seven.

Undaunted by the early deficit, the Lions marched down the field in eight plays but had to settle for a short field goal to cut the deficit to 7-3. The Lions didn’t wait long to cash in on their next opportunity as a botched reverse by Towns County on the ensuing kickoff gave the Lions possession at their opponents’ 9-yard line.

Two plays later, quarterback Troy Allen punched it in to give Hebron the 9-7 advantage after one quarter.

The Lions’ defense stifled Towns County, stuffing its rushing attack and yielding 10 total yards, all on the ground. Towns County ran just 12 offensive plays in the first half. Its first half play total fell three plays short of the Lions next scoring drive as Hebron extended its lead on a 15-play, 64-yard drive featuring the running of Allen and running back Chandler Lewis. Lewis gained 70 rushing yards in the first half, including a 1-yard scoring run to put the Lions up 16-7.

Allen capped the scoring in the first half with a terrific 20yard run that saw the quarterback break four tackles before dragging defenders into the end zone for a 23-7 halftime advantage. The Lions dominated the matchup despite committing nine penalties, including eight in the second half.

The Lions were paced by Lewis, who led the team with 150 rushing yards on 25 carries to go along with two TDs. Allen also scored two TDs along with his 87 rushing yards. Towns County (2-4, 1-4) gained just 92 yards of total offense on the game, thanks to a stellar defensive performance.

GAC 55, Fannin County 7 BLUE RIDGE — Greater Atlanta Christian raced to an early lead and rolled to a 55-7 road victory over Fannin County on Friday.

The Spartans (5-1, 2-0) led 28-0 after one quarter and 48-0 at the half.

“We got after it pretty quickly,” GAC head coach Tim Hardy said. “It was a clean game and we executed the way we needed to.”

Max Burke had touchdown receptions of 45 and 7 yards, as well as a 52-yard punt return for a TD. Kyler McMichael rushed for a pair of scores.

Quarterbacks Josh Rose and Jackson Hardy each threw for two touchdowns.

George Walton Academy 28, Providence Christian 0 MONROE — Providence Christian was locked in a tight battle with George Walton Academy into the fourth quarter before falling 28-0 on Friday.

GWA led just 7-0 and then broke away on a few big plays late in the game.

Providence (1-4) had the ball in the red zone twice, but came up empty. The Storm finished with 150 yards rushing, the vast bulk of the offense coming on the ground.

State Parks’ website helps you find the best fall color FROM STAFF REPORTS

Gwinnett County residents who want to get away for a weekend and add a little more color to their lives don’t have to travel too far, according to state officials.

Georgia State Parks officials recently announced details on some of the best parks that people can visit to see the leaves turning red, yellow, orange and other traditional colors of fall. Many of them are not too far away from Gwinnett County.

For many people, the perfect autumn weekend includes cozy campfires and gooey s’mores surrounded by fiery-hued forests. To help leaf peepers plan their fall escapes, Georgia’s state parks has launched “Leaf Watch 2017” to track fall color as it moves across the Peach State.

Found at www.GeorgiaStateParks.org/LeafWatch, the travel planner is filled with top trails and overlooks, mountain cabins and campsites, fall events and hiking safety tips.

Shutterbugs are encouraged to share their favorite shots on the Georgia State Parks’ Facebook page and Instagram, tagging #GaLe-

name-calling. I’d prefer to talk man to man, (ex) athlete to athlete.

No, I was not a professional athlete, but only because I didn’t possess your God-given talent. It wasn’t for lack of effort or desire. I also coached high school and college basketball for 17 years.

So I know a little about what makes athletes tick.

What I want to say, first of all, is this: You’re screwing up. Big time.

By politicizing the game — the game we all love, the game that has made you fabulously wealthy— you are slowly destroying it.

Large numbers of your fans, the people who ultimately pay your salaries, find this intolerable, even if they believe you have a right to do it. They watch sports to escape politics, not to have politics rubbed in their faces.

You are in grave danger of losing a significant portion of your fan base.

Many, once gone, will be gone forever. If that happens, the league cannot survive.

Personally, I feel like I’m watching a loved one spiral out of control in a downward cycle of selfdestructive behavior. I see what’s happening but feel powerless to stop it.

Only you can stop it.

The second thing I’d like to tell you is that the people egging you on from the sidelines, the left-wing media and its fellow travelers in Hollywood and academia, are not your friends. They despise basically everything you stand for.

You’ve spent your life learning to act like a man. Your enablers think that makes you a Neanderthal and a sexist.

Remember, these are the same people who, a couple years ago, were saying the NFL is full of wife-beaters and rapists.

You’ve been taught, and you’ve learned from experience, that through hard work you can

Rob Jenkins achieve your dreams. To your enablers, merely expressing that truism constitutes a “microaggression.”

The left has been trying to destroy the game you love for years, precisely because they loathe (and fear) masculinity and competitiveness. I just never thought they’d co-opt you into their scheme — which is why I say that, ultimately, this is a form of self-destruction.

They are not your friends. They’re just using you.

Your friends are the people who serve in our Armed Forces, defending the country you decline to honor. They’re the auto workers and truck drivers and pipefitters who spend their hard-earned money every week to watch your games. They’re the people of all races and backgrounds who admire your courage, skill and ability, who cheer you on, regardless of race.

Those people are America. The flag represents them. Not Donald Trump. Not any political party or ideology. When you respect the flag, you respect them. When you take a knee, you diminish them.

They won’t tolerate it indefinitely.

Rob Jenkins is a local college professor and freelance writer. He is the author of four books, including “Family Man: The Art of Surviving Domestic Tranquility,” available at Books for Less in Buford and on Amazon. Email Rob at rjenkinsgdp@yahoo.com.

Cryptologic Warfare According to the Group Six, according to a release, Scruggs plays a press release from United crucial role in defending States Department of the against threats in support Navy. of the command’s mission He works in intellito deliver Information gence as an analyst, which Warfare capabilities, such has satisfied his desires as signals intelligence and

cyberspace operations, to the Navy fleet and joint forces.

There is an inextricable linkage, Navy officials said, between signals intelligence and cyber operations. Signals intelligence helps inform operational commanders and forward deployed operational units in real time about the actions of adversaries and feeds directly into the Navy’s understanding of cyber actors and their potential actions.

“Given today’s environment of continuous growth in the information and technology realms, our information warfare missions have never been more important. I’m extremely proud of the

Sailors and extended team who make our mission possible every day,” said, CWG-6 Commander Capt. Joe J. Johnson.

Scruggs said he is proud to serve at the forefront of technology innovation and cyber operations, helping to protect the United States from threats around the world.

“I have been able to have a lot of cool experiences and I am set up for a lot of great opportunities on the civilian side,” said Scruggs, who was a military participant in the 2017 presidential inauguration. “College is expensive, so I thought it made sense to take advantage of military benefits and have the Navy pay for it.”

It was November 1999, one month after my first book had been released and had made best-seller lists across the nation, aided greatly by Barbara Walters.

But that’s another story.

This one is about Mama and me. Bellsouth, at that time one of the South’s greatest corporations, sponsored a seven-city book tour for me across the state of Mississippi following a major tour that had been presented by my publisher, Penguin-Putnam.

Boldly, perhaps naively, I approached BellSouth executives and convinced them that we could cross promote between my book and their services.

Women make or influence 80 percent of all buying decisions so a book about Southern women was a good crossover marketing opportunity for a Southern-based company trying to find more women consumers.

Daddy had died a year earlier, and Mama was both lonely and eager to wander, so I invited her along.

“You’ll never get outta the driveway without getting in an argument,” predicted one friend. I bet her differently. And I won. But only because I waited until we were out of the driveway, still within sight of her house.

Of course, you must understand that I never started the fights. I just responded and defended.

Kinda like Virginia did when the Yankees pushed themselves uninvited into the Shenandoah Valley during the War of Northern Aggression.

Even though there were a few disagreements along the way — the worst happening in, of all places, a historic cemetery in Natchez, Miss. — it was generally a pleasant trip with Mama, me and my dachshund, Highway.

And even though there are many moments to recall, such as Mama holding court in Oxford during MY book signing, how we slipped Highway into a Holiday Inn in Tupelo, the friendship she struck up in Starkville, our awe at the sight of the majestic magnolias in Meridian and the night Mama put her foot down and refused to taste the crawfish gumbo that a kind woman had made for us in Fairhope, Ala., it is the Natchez Trail I remember most.

Ronda Rich For it was there as we drove along the parkway, that Mama began to tell her story. Oh, I had heard bits and pieces of it before but this time when she started, I said, “Wait a minute!” By God’s sweet grace, I had a small tape recorder with me. I turned it on, set it in the seat between us and for two hours, she told the story of her life as a young woman.

How she met Daddy.

How she worked in a hosiery mill and for her aunt at the boarding house. How she had survived World War II with a baby in arms and a husband in the South Pacific that she did not see for two years. How when he returned, she had saved every penny of his Navy pay by taking in sewing, cooking and ironing.

I knew that tape was somewhere, but I didn’t know where. One day, I ran across the recorder with the tape still in it. I pressed play and heard my Mama’s voice as recorded on a beautiful fall day in the middle of Mississippi. Two sentences in, the recorder quit. New batteries did not revive it.

Do you have any idea how hard it is to find a microcassette recorder in today’s digital world? Finally, my friend, Debbie, uncovered one in a cabinet drawer and brought it to me. I began to transcribe and was seven sentences into Mama talking about her first date with Daddy and how she was going to break up with her other boyfriend before she went to church with him again when the tape broke.

I began to sniffle, fighting back the tears.

Tink promises he will get it fixed. And I know he will. He understands how important it is to me to hear Mama tell her stories from her own mouth.

MONDAY

8:30 p.m. on FOX Ghosted An inescapable “Ghostbusters” vibe underscores this new comedy pairing very different paranormal sleuths — played by Craig Robinson (“The Office”) and Adam Scott (“Parks and Recreation”), also executive producers of the show — on otherworldly mysteries that plague Los Angeles. Beyond their case of the week, a larger threat could mean nothing less than the end of mankind. Ally Walker (“Profiler”) returns to television as their boss in this “Pilot.”

8:31 p.m. on CBS 9JKL Mark Feuerstein’s character on the recent “Prison Break” revival was anything but amusing, so he probably can use some laughs. The “Royal Pains” alum gets them from his own life in this new sitcom, based on his experiences in New York as both a struggling actor and a struggling relative. The latter situation comes from his living between his parents (Linda Lavin, Elliott Gould) and his brother (David Walton) ... ensuring that he’s never without family around.

9 p.m. on FOX The Gifted Fox moves into Marvel territory with this premiere of an “X-Men”-related drama about a family whose children (Natalie Alyn Lind, Percy Hynes White) have mutant powers, not unlike such well-known characters as Wolverine and Storm. With unfriendly government officials on their heels, the parents (Stephen Moyer, Amy Acker) take their offspring on the run and ask other mutants for help.

wise. JoAnna Garcia Swisher (“Once Upon a Time”) also stars as Kevin’s twin sister, with Kimberly Hebert Gregory as a heavenly deputy he answers to.

WEDNESDAY

Mark Feuerstein Coby Bell, Emma Dumont and Blair Redford also star in “eXposed.”

TUESDAY 10 p.m. on ABC Kevin (Probably) Saves the World Can an assignment from “above” set a ne’er-do-well on the right path? A role that would have been ideal for John Ritter goes to his son Jason in this seriocomic new show, with his character Kevin among those tasked with saving the world, a mission he seems very unsuited for ... but you wouldn’t have a series if it were other-

8 p.m. on CW iHeartRadio Music Festival Night 1 Now a traditional part of The CW’s schedule, this concert special — continuing Thursday — returns with a new edition, recorded at Las Vegas’ TMobile Arena. Ryan Seacrest is back as host, introducing acts including Pink, Harry Styles, Coldplay, Chris Stapleton and The Weeknd. Given the total four-hour running time of the event, they’ll have plenty of time to offer the music they want to, new selections as well as familiar tunes.

THURSDAY 9 p.m. on ABC Scandal What’s already known to be the final season of this drama begins with “Watch Me,” written by executive producet Shonda Rhimes and opening as Mel-

lie (Bellamy Young) starts the second 100 days of her presidential term. Olivia (Kerry Washington) furnishes the behind-the-scenes brainpower, but even her strategic skills may not be enough to circumvent a global problem. Quinn (Katie Lowes) encounters immediate growing pains with her new firm. Tony Goldwyn and Jeff Perry also star.

FRIDAY 8 p.m. on ABC Once Upon a Time The fantasy-drama series undergoes a major reset for its seventh season, which opens here with “Hyperion Heights.”

Henry Mills is now an adult, as played by Andrew J. West, and he and his daughter (Alison Fernandez) set out on a new quest to try to ensure that good wins out over evil.

Though a number of the original cast members have left, Lana Parrilla, Robert Carlyle and Colin O’Donoghue are among the actors who remain.

Gabrielle Anwar is a new costar here.

SATURDAY 8 p.m. on PBS Austin City Limits One of today’s most popular music stars launches the program’s 43rd season, as singersongwriter Ed Sheeran — recently given credit for helping similarly ginger-haired men have more success romantically — occupies the hour with tunes both past and present.

Sheeran also has dipped a toe into the acting pool, being particularly noticed for a cameo appearance he made on “Game of Thrones,” and that could play into the stage presence he exudes here.

Luciano’s RistoRante itaLiano

Meet the chefs that will be participating at this year’s Good Taste Atlanta on October 19 at Infinite Energy Forum

Bio: Chef John, born in South Africa, came with his parents to America when he was 14. After a year in New Jersey, he came to Georgia where he’s been ever since. Chef John Soilis is the Executive Chef at Luciano’s Ristorante Italiano in Duluth.

Culinary BaCkground/ Training: Growing up in South Africa, my grandparents owned an ice cream shop that I helped out at, from time-to-time.

I attended the Culinary Institute of America, but it was the many years out of high school working at the Buckhead Diner, where I gained the most experience.

FavoriTe Culinary MeMory: While working at the Buckhead Diner, Julia Child came into the restaurant.

We were backed up on orders and I was making her a salad. It was taking longer than expected and I got screamed at in the kitchen by the chef...It’s the only time I’ve been yelled at and it’s something I’ve never forgot.

Four ways to improve your resilience muscles “Success is not final, failure is not fatal, it’s the courage to continue that counts.”

It was inspirational when Winston Churchill said it.

But for most of us, mustering the courage to go on in the face of failure is not easy.

My ancestors braved war and famine, but if my email goes down, I feel like I can’t cope. Intellectually you recognize, on the scale of human suffering, greater tragedies have been endured.

But in the moment, it still feels hopeless.

Failure comes in many forms. Maybe you were passed over for a job, maybe you lost your job, maybe your spouse left you or maybe you’re just having a bad day. Your customer shouted at you, your server went down and someone took your yogurt from the break room fridge.

Challenging situations — be they large or small — require resilience. You can use Churchill’s quote as your screensaver; it might help.

But if you really want to improve your resilience, you need to train your brain. You see resilience is a muscle, and like any muscle you have to train it if you want it to get stronger.

Here are four techniques to improve your resilience muscle: 1. Preemptive mindfulness Studies have shown mindfulness, gratitude and other meditative practices increase your resiliency. Even 10

WhaT i’ll WhiP-uP on The Cooking deMo sTage:

PET OF THE WEEK

Veal meatballs...

Fun FaCT: Everyone calls me “Papa” in the kitchen. It can be stressful at times in the kitchen, so we sing to lighten-up the mood and have fun...and then we get serious when it’s time to rock ‘n roll.

on My BuCkeT lisT: To take a trip to Spain. I love everything about it there...the flavors, the language, the scenery.

aBouT The resTauranT:

Each week the Gwinnett Daily Post will feature an animal available for adoption at the Georgia SPCA, which is located at 1175 Buford Highway, Suite 109, Suwanee, GA 30024.The hours of operation are Mondays through Fridays 11 a.m. until 7 p.m., Saturdays 11 a.m. until 5 p.m., and Sundays 1 until 4 p.m.You can see the rest of the adoptable cats and dogs at www.georgiaspca.org or call 678-765-2726.

Luciano’s Ristorante Italiano proudly serves family-style creations inspired by rich traditions on Naples, the regions of Emilia-Romagna and Northern Italy. Buon Appetito!!

Boca is one of many dogs the Georgia SPCA rescued from Florida during Hurricane Irma. He wiggles his body so much it’s basically a dance party when he sees you.

He is a mega kisser and absolutely loves to give big kisses when he sees his human friends. Did we mention he is smart? He has already learned sit and is working on down and off. He has interacted with dogs (small and large) and children and been gentle with them all (just doesn’t care for kitty friends). With continual training, Boca will make a fantastic buddy for years to come.

Boca is already crate trained and truly finds comfort in his crate. He also holds his potty for outside and seems to be potty trained.

Boca is currently hanging out in a foster home, therefore please email info@georgiaspca.org to set up a meeting.
