Gov. Deal awards nine GCPS students with REACH Scholarships

BY TREVOR MCNABOE trevor.mcnaboe @gwinnettdailypost.com

Georgia Gov. Nathan Deal enacted the REACH Scholarship in 2012 as a way to provide an opportunity for students to continue their dreams of education. Six years later, he stood in attendance at Meadowcreek High School to watch nine Gwinnett County Public Schools eighth-graders sign their contracts to become REACH Scholars.

The signing ceremony Wednesday afternoon drew middle school principals, government officials and parents to recognize Jerrilyn De La Rosa, Takeyra Brown, Melany PelayoMedina, Lewis Le, Emmanuel Adebesin, Arelie Barriga, Kidus Tadesse, Jonathan Bell and Kendall Reaves Jr. Brown, an eighth-grader at Grace Snell Middle School, said she had been looking forward to signing her agreement.

“I was really excited and so shocked,” Brown said.

“This is such a big opportunity.”

The REACH Scholarship provides $10,000 for need-based students to pursue postsecondary education while holding them

accountable with a set of rules that require students to “earn their scholarship,” according to Deal.

“We’ve got schools in the university system that have agreed to match and even double the $10,000 amount these students are receiving,” Deal said. “I think that is a pretty good indication of what the higher education community thinks about scholars who have achieved the reSome of the rules inquirements for the REACH clude holding a 2.5 gradeScholarship program.” point average throughout high school, attending four meetings with an academic The adviser each semester and eight meetings with Audiology Center an assigned mentor each of Snellville semester.

For godmother and guardian Olivia Taylor, Wednesday was a dream come true.

“It’s awesome because Takeyra and her five siblings came to me last year after being taken away from their mom,” Taylor said. “For her coming from where she was a year ago and getting to here today, it’s awesome.”

School superintendent J. Alvin Wilbanks urged the nine students to take

Wednesday as a day of celebration, but also appreciate the magnitude of what was bestowed upon them.

“I come from an era where your word is your bond,” Wilbanks said. “All of you said you will do whatever it takes to earn this opportunity. We hope that you fulfill it to continue your education.”

The scholarship has expanded from five school districts to more than 130 counties across Georgia.

Although he won’t be in office, Deal said the goal is to have every county in Georgia participating in the REACH Scholarship by the 2020-21 school year.

“Not only does this program help the student or the family, but also the generations to follow them,” Deal said. “This provides incentive for people to graduate high school. It also keeps a bedrock of quality workforce here in our state.”

Dems have nothing to lose but have a lot to gain WASHINGTON — Dear Democrats, You can do this. Stop fretting and secondguessing. Get out of your own way. Concentrate on turning out the vote, and remember you have everything to gain in this midterm election and nothing to lose.

I say you have nothing to lose because that is literally true. Republicans control both chambers of Congress, most governorships, most state legislatures — and, of course, the White House, which isn’t up for grabs this time. The great blues artist Muddy Waters put it best: “You can’t spend what you ain’t got. You can’t lose what you ain’t never had.”

So stop worrying, Democrats, that your House majority might be slipping away. You don’t have a House majority.

Eugene But the odds of your Robinson winning one still look excellent — if you step up and grab it.

And don’t let Republicans convince you that the Senate is already a lost cause. Yes, this year’s battlefields are mostly on GOP turf. But almost every race is close enough to be within reach. Think of it this way: Do Democrats’ chances of threading the needle and somehow snatching a Senate majority look any worse than Donald Trump’s chances of winning the presidency looked with 10 days to go before the 2016 election?

Consider Texas. The conventional wisdom seems to be that Democrat Beto O’Rourke, after a stunningly effective campaign, is likely to fall short in his bid to unseat GOP incumbent Sen. Ted Cruz. But if the outcome is already ordained, why did the Republican Party waste so much of its most valuable asset — Trump’s time and effort — on a rally in Cruz’s hometown of Houston? Why did Cruz humiliate himself by sharing the stage with a man who made fun of his wife’s appearance and accused his father of being involved in the JFK assassination?

Much has been made of an uptick in Trump’s approval rating — now at 44 percent, according to Gallup. But in the 2010 midterms, when Democrats lost 63 seats in the House and Republicans took control, Barack Obama’s approval was 45 percent. And in 1994, when Democrats lost 53 seats and the speaker’s gavel, Bill Clinton’s approval was 46 percent.

In 2014, when Obama’s approval was lower than Trump’s is now, Democrats did manage to hold their losses in the House to just 13 seats. But Republicans took control of the Senate.

The point is that with an unpopular president and a host of unpopular policies, Republicans are at a distinct disadvantage. They have to play defense. Democrats, who have so little to defend, can and should play offense with abandon.

To understate the obvious, much is at stake.

An aberrant, corrupt, out-of-control presidency is widening our divisions, spitting on our values and mortgaging our future. Republicans, who once could call themselves the Party of Lincoln, are now the Party of Trump; they will not lift a finger to constrain the president or hold him accountable. Congress has the power to do both — but will not unless at least one chamber is in Democratic hands.

But obsessing about the fact that the Nov. 6 elections are so consequential does not help. The one thing Democrats can and must do is get their voters to the polls.

It should be no surprise that what once looked like a Democratic landslide now appears, as my friend Dan Rather might say, “as tight as a tick.”

Anyone who has been paying attention knows that the country is divided along regional, cultural and demographic fault lines. Republicans were bound to find or manufacture some issue, some reason to claim victimhood, that would incite the party’s base. A bedraggled group of men, women and children, nearly 2,000 miles away in southern Mexico, is apparently the best they could come up with.

But Democratic enthusiasm remains stronger — and, I believe, deeper. We saw that passion at the Women’s March following Trump’s inauguration and across the country after the Charlottesville horror. We saw it in the party’s success at recruiting young, dynamic candidates from coast to coast. The Democratic leadership may be a bit long in the tooth, but when you look at rising stars such as Stacey Abrams in Georgia, Andrew Gillum in Florida and O’Rourke in Texas, you realize that the future is now.

Don’t be dour and doubtful, Democrats. Be joyous and determined. Stop worrying about losing what you “ain’t got” and focus on winning elections district by district, state by state. Don’t let Republicans bluff you into folding. You’re playing a very good hand.

Sincerely, A friend Eugene Robinson’s email address is eugenerobinson@washpost.com.

A Georgia road trip with friends VIDALIA — I am back here for the second time in a month of ups and downs.

The Georgia football team lost to LSU and set tongues to wagging — business as usual.

I suffered a compromising accident just before hosting a VIP friend in the world of broadcast. Everything was ameliorated and uplifted with a drive down the center of our state via Highway 15. All is well when I make that drive.

We’re playing that song again, but it is not what you have heard before. This is about a treasured friend, Verne Lundquist, the CBS announcer who knows about the downhome, small-town world to which I am unalterably wed.

I wanted to show him my state. He has rubbed shoulders with sporting royalty at the 21 Club in Manhattan. He won an Emmy for lifetime achievement. His name and his voice are highly regarded from all across this great country. People from all over the world have heard his voice from Olympic venues in far away places. He is a wonderful guest and I wanted to give him a rural Georgia exposure.

He and his lovely wife, Nancy, were up for it.

And now, he knows the publisher of the Vidalia Advance, the sports editor of the Advance, the voice of the Vidalia Indians. On our lunch stop, he met bankers, professional folk, the mayor, secretaries, Bulldog fans, a

We crossed the Altamaha River in Baxley where I was happy to share with him the local pronunciation, “Altamahaul.”

After that memorable lunch in Vidalia, we began to pick up the pace through Blackshear, Folkston and into North Florida as we were anxious to reach our destination — Ponte Vedra, Fla., to spend time with our friends Vernon and Patricia Brinson. We soon were enjoying fine wine as we listened to the Atlantic come ashore, ensuring that we would be the beneficiaries of restful sleep.

There were warm thoughts as my day ended. I am proud of my home state and will always be happy to show it off to friends from elsewhere, whether they are blue collar white collar; with or without portfolio.

I can’t get enough of rural Georgia, and I hope Verne and Nancy Lundquist were not bored. If they were, they didn’t let on.

McConnell puts conservative judges in courts WASHINGTON — This weekend, left-wing protesters accosted Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell in a Kentucky restaurant, yelling at him that he was a “traitor.”

But not so long ago, it was tea party conservatives who were calling McConnell a traitor to the GOP. They owe him an apology.

While President Trump deserves credit for making outstanding judicial nominations, long before Trump declared his candidacy, McConnell was laying the groundwork for a conservative transformation of the federal judiciary. It was, he told me in an interview last week, “entirely premeditated.”

In 2013, Democrats had invoked the “nuclear option,” eliminating the filibuster for all federal judicial appointments except the Supreme Court — allowing them to pack the federal circuit courts with left-wing Obama appointees by simple majority.

After Republicans won back control of the Senate in the 2014 midterms, McConnell put the brakes on the Democratic confirmation juggernaut — and then blocked President Obama’s nomination of Judge Merrick Garland to replace Justice Antonin Scalia, who had died during Obama’s final year in office. Result? On Inauguration Day, Trump was presented with a slate of more than 100 judicial vacancies to fill, including a seat on the

Democrats had preserved the filibuster, Trump’s nominee to replace Justice Anthony Kennedy, the court’s swing vote, might not have made it. I asked McConnell whether he could have gotten Republicans to invoke the nuclear option for Kavanaugh. “It would have Marc been a lot harder,” he says.

Thiessen “I think in retrospect you can look back and say that was not Supreme Court. a smart play on their part.”

there for 25 years. So, I think it’s the most important thing we’re doing, and I hope we’re going to have the opportunity to do it for two more years.”

If Republicans retain control of the Senate, he says, “We’re going to fill every vacancy we possibly can with strict constructionists.” Does that include another Supreme Court justice, if a vacancy comes up in a presidential election year?

The tradition, McConnell explains, is that “if a Senate is of a different party than the president and a vacancy occurs in a presidential election year, it doesn’t get filled.” But what if the president and the Senate are of the same party? “Could you imagine … a majority in the Senate of the same party as the president saying ‘no thank you’? I don’t think that’s likely to happen.” So is the “McConnell Rule” that when you have the White House and the votes in the Senate, you use them?

“Yep,” he says. “That’s the way it’s going to work. That’s the way it’s worked for 230 years.”

The 21st century is still young. But so far, Mitch McConnell is arguably the most consequential conservative leader of the century. And he may not be done yet. The voters will decide in two weeks.

Keith Roach

Choosing issues to follow up on Dear Dr. roacH: I am a 63-year-old female in very good health. Admittedly, I smoked for 22 pack-years, but that is pretty far in the past. I have had two CT lung scans as a result of a pneumonia diagnosis last fall. The second, a followup six months after the first one last December, found a ground-glass attenuation nodule about 1 cm diameter in my upper right lung.

I have also been found to have emphysema and/ or COPD, although I suffer no discomfort or symptoms from those.

My significant other has urged me not to have a follow-up appointment with a specialist (pulmonologist), and in fact I canceled an appointment I had with one last February. I have a new appointment, but I only want to talk about the CT scan results having to do with the nodule, with my main concern being heavy doses of radiation (I am scheduled for another CT scan next May).

The pulmonology office requires that I have spirometry testing before I see the specialist, but doesn’t this only address the COPD and emphysema issues? If I am found to have diminished lung capacity, I don’t want to be prescribed albuterol or other inhalers to address this, since I have no symptoms of which I am aware. I live a very active and athletic life.

My diet is completely plantbased whole foods and has been for seven years. How would you approach this issue if you were my general care physician?

— R.C. anSWer: A groundglass opacity nodule is called that because of its appearance on X-ray or CT scan.

They are a specific area of abnormality in the lung, and may represent an area of inflammation, but also may represent early stages in the progression to lung cancer.

Because of this, these findings are followed by yearly CT scanning for at least three years. Studies have shown that 12 percent to 26 percent of GGN increase in size: This is a significant risk factor for lung cancer, as is a size greater than 1.5 cm.

One study showed that 95 percent of GGN removed for an increase in size of 0.2 cm or greater than 1.5 cm were cancerous. Because of this, I agree with the repeat CT scanning: I feel the small risk of radiation is greatly outweighed by the ability to identify a potential lung cancer before it has a chance to spread.

As far as getting spirometry goes, that is indeed to evaluate the emphysema (emphysema is one of the major types of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease).

Knowing how severe the disease is has value; however, the fact that you have no symptoms suggests mild disease. I understand you are annoyed that the specialist demands a test that is not relevant to the reason you are referred: If I were your primary care doctor, I’d have a chat with the specialist to see if it were truly necessary.

Man wants to help struggling roommate Dear amy: I’m a man in my late-20s, living in New York City with a friend, who is the same age. We’ve been roommates for a couple of years. We knew each other previously from college.

My roommate, “Charles,” was seeing a woman until about three weeks ago, when she broke things off. Despite this being a fairly brief relationship, Charles took it very hard and started drinking very heavily.

Time has passed since then, but his drinking habits continue.

Charles only started dating and drinking one or two years ago, so it feels a little like he’s going through phases more typical of a college student, but his behavior now is amplified by his ability to afford liquor.

It’s at the point where he starts drinking in the morning, and brings a bottle with him when we hang out in public.

Needless to say, it’s embarrassing and probably illegal.

How can I approach him and let him know that this is a problem?

I see this affecting his health, his job and more selfishly, his rent. When Charles drinks, he gets positive reinforcement (he’s more outgoing, talks to strangers, has a “good time”), meanwhile I’m feeling uncomfortable and ashamed of his behavior.

How do I help him avoid hitting rock bottom before

shooting video of him when he is drunk and sharing it with him when he is sober.

If he isn’t paying his rent, then he actually cannot afford booze, and he’ll have to move out. That is a straight-line consequence.

your grandchild’s life.

These early days are likely chaotic, but the sooner you can settle into a predictable schedule, the better for all of you.

If your daughter is working nights, you should make sure your granddaughter gets to bed at a reasonable hour, and you should use her sleeping time to rest and renew. You gain three hours of quiet time if your granddaughter goes to sleep at 7 p.m., versus going to bed at 10, for instance.

Explore options for limited daycare, including early Head Start. If the toddler can attend from 8 a.m. until noon, for instance, your daughter can pick her up from there and spend time with her before her own work shift.

Dear amy: Boohoo for poor “Excluded,” whose nephew refused to attend a family wedding because it was mixed-faith.

world Koreas begin demilitarizing the ‘scariest place on earth’

North and South Korea have removed all weapons and ammunition from the Joint Security Area, the notorious spot between the two Koreas where soldiers from North and South stand face to face, guns at the ready.

The move is a highly symbolic one that South Korean President Moon Jae-in and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un hope will further reduce tensions between Seoul and Pyongyang.

The JSA, which is also known as the Panmunjom truce village, has long been considered one of the most dangerous borders on the planet. Former U.S. President Bill Clinton once called it the “scariest place on Earth.”

Since de-mining operations and excavations began at the beginning of October, 14 land mines, 187 explosives and the remains of two soldiers have been dug up, according to the South Korean Ministry of Defense.

The two sides will verify that they have disarmed in the JSA on Friday and Saturday.

After protests, Google abandons Berlin campus Google has dropped plans to build a large campus in Berlin after months of fierce protests from locals.

The tech giant had intended to open a 3,000-squaremeter facility for start-ups in the Kreuzberg district of the German capital.

But the company met with angry opposition from residents, who opposed Google’s presence in the bohemian neighborhood and the effects of gentrification on real estate prices.

Google has now said the space will go to two nonprofit organizations, saying it will become “a home for social commitment.”

Activists have been protesting the plans since they were unveiled in 2016.

Many opposed the company’s tax practices and data-collection policies, as well as the gentrification of the Kreuzberg area.

2 more explosive packages found

Manhunt ensues after several prominent Trump critics targeted

By Evan Perez, Mark Morales and David Shortell CNN

Authorities have now found two packages addressed to former Vice President Joe Biden that are similar in appearance and contain potential explosive devices that resemble the others sent earlier this week to prominent critics of President Donald Trump and CNN, a law enforcement official said Thursday.

The two packages, discovered at Delaware postal facilities, were removed late Thursday morning, law enforcement officials said.

Earlier Thursday, a suspicious package addressed to actor-director Robert De Niro was reported at the Manhattan building where his production company is based, and its marking and contents appear similar to the other pipe bomb packages, two law enforcement sources said.

The FBI said Thursday morning that the three packages are “similar in appearance to the others.”

A manhunt is underway for the perpetrator behind the packages. Law enforcement authorities are treating the series of bombs as a domestic terror matter and are advising the public to remain vigilant.

The motive is unknown,

nation ‘I ain’t scared,’ Waters said of suspicious packages

Democratic Rep. Maxine Waters of California said she won’t be intimidated even though she was the intended recipient of two suspicious packages intercepted Wednesday.

“I don’t know whether the bombs are real or not, but we should not crawl under the bed, close the doors, not go out, be afraid to go to rallies, whatever,” Waters said in an interview with Blavity Politics on Wednesday.

“We have to keep to doing what we’re doing in order to make this country right.

but the recipients are all prominent targets of rightwing criticism and, in many cases, of Trump himself.

The package found at CNN’s New York bureau in the Time Warner Center was addressed to former CIA Director John Brennan, city and local law enforcement officials said.

Devices sent to former President Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, former Attorney General Eric Holder, California Democratic

Rep. Maxine Waters and Democratic donor George Soros showed the presence of a sulfur substance, which could have exploded, a law enforcement official said.

The devices are believed to be pipe bombs, inherently unstable and at risk of being set off just by handling. An FBI bomb truck, containing the device sent to Brennan, left New York City on Thursday morning for the FBI lab at Quantico, Va., a law enforcement official familiar

with the investigation said.

A suspicious powder from the package was tested and initially deemed not to be anthrax or a known agent, the source said, adding that additional testing will continue over the coming days.

Authorities are not giving credence to the reports of an image of the ISIS flag on the device, the source said, meaning they do not believe it’s international terrorism.

The image appears to be a spoof of an ISIS flag that has been widely circulated on the internet.

Authorities are questioning why none of the bombs went off.

The presence of what is believed to be pyrotechnic powder is one reason why authorities consider the packages to be potentially destructive, though it appears they were handled through the postal system — where they were jostled and moved — without any explosion.

Outside experts have pointed to the lack of a triggering mechanism, suggesting they were never meant to explode.

Investigators believe some of the packages may have originated in Florida, according to one law enforcement official.

A second law enforcement official said federal investigators are in Florida following leads.

Thursday referred Julie Swetnick and her lawyer Michael Avenatti to the Department of Justice for a possible criminal investigation over allegations they made false statements to Congress about now-Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh.

people Kids reunite from ‘Mrs. Doubtfire’ The Hillard children are all grown up.

Almost 25 years have passed since Matthew Lawrence, Mara Wilson and Lisa Jakub played siblings in 1993’s Robin Williams-led “Mrs. Doubtfire,” but the upcoming milestone anniversary seemingly prompted the trio to come together with co-star Pierce Brosnan for a trip down memory lane.

Jakub shared a photo and video from the special day on Instagram this week.

In the film, Lawrence, Jakub and Wilson played the children of Robin Williams’ Daniel Hillard and Sally Field’s Miranda Hillard.

In a video Jakub shared, Brosnan, who is controlling the camera, shows an old photo of the three former child actors from the movie’s premiere and, for dramatic effect, slowly pans to the three of them.

“Love you. Love you all so much,” he said. “So good to be a part of your lives.”

Wilson later reflected on the reunion, saying on Twitter that Bronsan was “just as lovely and charming as ever. And so funny!”

Megyn Kelly removed from 9 a.m. show Megyn Kelly’s exit from the 9 a.m. hour of the “Today” show appears to be imminent, according to sources with knowledge of the matter.

Kelly will not be hosting her program, “Megyn Kelly Today” on Thursday, and she is unlikely to return later, one of the sources said. Friday episodes of her show are usually pre-taped.

Kelly has parted ways with her talent agency, CAA, according to the sources, and she has hired attorney Bryan Freedman.

The talks about dropping Kelly’s 9 a.m. show predated this week’s controversy about her comments about blackface Halloween costumes.

‘Modern Family’ character killed off in recent episode

Fans knew a death was coming to “Modern Family.”

In Wednesday’s Halloween episode of the longrunning series, the comedy put speculation to rest by revealing that Mitchell and Claire’s mother, DeDe (Shelley Long), had died.

It is said later in the episode, appropriately titled “Good Grief,” that DeDe died in her sleep.

“It occurred to us that death is a giant part of the family experience and while Phil had lost his mother in a previous episode, we’ve never seen the entire family have to deal with such a loss,” creator Steven Levitan told The Hollywood Reporter.

“It seemed like an interesting thing to have happen.”

Category 5 hurricane wipes Hawaiian island off the map

By Christina Maxouris CNN

Hawaii’s East Island is no longer on the map.

The island, located about 550 miles northwest of Honolulu, is part of a chain of small island groups in Papahanaumokuakea Marine National Monument. When the chain was swept by powerful storm surges from Hurricane Walaka earlier this month, East Island was submerged.

Must read The island was uninhabited, but scientists are worried because it was a refuge for two of the most endangered animals in the world: the Hawaiian green sea turtle and the Hawaiian monk seal.

Almost 96 percent of Hawaii’s green turtle population travels to the island chain, known as the French Frigate Shoals, for safe nesting during their breeding

season, according to Chip Fletcher, an earth science professor at the University of Hawaii at Manoa.

“As we moved around the island this past July, every single step we had to be careful, because there was evidence of turtle nesting,” Fletcher told CNN. “But, thankfully, most of the eggs would have hatched and the hatchlings gone, by the time the hurricane hit.”

The Hawaiian monk seals — there’s only about 1,400 of them left in the world — spend most of

their time on the island lying under the sun and resting on its beaches.

Fletcher says they’re usually able to navigate their way around during storms like this one.

“So we have some reason to be optimistic that it wasn’t totally devastating,” he said. “But the final assessment will rest with the biologists.”

The islands in that area are mostly tiny slices of sand and gravel sitting on top of a submerged, extinct volcano.

“Our understanding is that these islands are formed as sea level falls,” Fletcher said. “Sea levels are rising right now so the fundamental basis for forming these islands no longer exists.”

Fletcher said East Island may remain underwater partly due to climate change.

Hurricane Walaka was a powerful Category 5 storm with winds in excess of 157 mph. It was one of several big storms to barrel through the Pacific this year.

Eastside Medical Center uses contest to debut robotic arm

By Isabel Hughes

knee replacements, there are about 15 to 20 percent of patients who are still not happy with their knee (after surgery). They’re better than they were before surgery, but it’s still not (100 percent) and the thought process is that’s because of inaccuracy or being outside of the margin of error.”

While the machine keeps surgeons within that margin of error by physically preventing doctors from cutting or boring too much of the bone — the system will stop working and eventually shut off if

a doctor tries to go outside the pre-set margin of error, which is tailored to each patient — it’s not just that capability that makes the robot useful, Hadi said.

“Before we do (the surgery), we do what’s called kinematics, and that’s adjusting the ligaments and tension of the knee before we even do any cuts,” he said. “You can virtually adjust the implant position using that kinematic information before starting the surgery, so you’re basically tailoring the implant position for that patient based on the ligaments, and that’s going to help minimize pain (in) the knee.”

While Eastside doctors are excited about the new system — the “Name the Robot” contest was the hospital’s way of introducing the machine to the community — Torab said Thursday she was just as excited to have won the contest.

As the winner, Torab was awarded $100, while her school will receive a $500 check from Eastside.

This is Eastside’s second “Name the Robot” contest; the first was held in April.

nine absentee ballots have been rejected due to signature mismatch thus far.”

ACLU of Georgia Executive Director Andrea Young criticized Kemp and the request for a postponement of the injunction in a statement Thursday night. The ACLU helped represent the groups that were suing the county and the state over the absentee matter.

“We are disappointed that the Secretary of State is unwilling to grant due process to Georgia citizens who vote by absentee ballot,” Young said in the statement. “We will continue to defend the rights of Georgia voters.”

But after a preliminary version of the injunction was issued Wednesday — pending feedback from both sides — it won applause from groups and residents who filed the suits even though they had some suggestions for changes.

“When we have laws

that infringe on the right to vote absentee, it is the most vulnerable members of our communities who suffer the most,” said Phi Nguyen, litigation director for one of the groups that filed the suit, Asian Americans Advancing Justice Atlanta, in a statement.

“It’s the elderly, the disabled — for whom physically getting to the polls is a real challenge. It’s the immigrant who is limited (in English proficiency) who may be too intimidated to vote in person. It’s those who don’t own a car or otherwise have reliable transportation.”

Meanwhile, Georgia Muslim Voter Project board chairman Saleemah Abdul-Ghafur said, “The right to vote is both sacred and fundamental. We thank the Court for their diligence in reviewing our request and for issuing the temporary restraining order to ensure that every vote counts.”

Haleh Hamidi initially thought her daughter’s design for Eastside Medical Center’s “Name the Robot” contest was a little too generic.

“When I saw her drawing, I said, ‘Shayda, this is too ordinary,’” Hamidi said, laughing. “I tried to change her mind and say, ‘Shayda, can you try to draw a person or this and that’ and she was like, ‘No, I want to do it this way.’

I tried, several times, to have her change her mind and she didn’t, but now (I know) that I should just trust her next time — she knows best.”

Gwinnett County, for example, won’t have to recertify its results to account for absentee ballot rejections that are still being appealed — unless the county of those ballots could swing the outcome of a race.

Attorneys for Kemp and the state argued the process laid out in May’s order would be too disruptive to the elections process.

“Last-minute challenges to longstanding election procedures have long been disfavored because they threaten to disrupt the orderly administration of elections, which is essential to the functioning of our participatory democracy,” the attorneys wrote in their request for a stay of the injunction.

“This Court’s prelimi-

nary injunction is a case in point; by adding brand new, untested processes ad hoc to long established election procedures at the eleventh hour, it will introduce uncertainty and confusion under extreme time pressure at best, and it risks undermining the integrity of the State’s election process.”

The attorneys also downplayed the severity of the absentee ballot rejection issue in Gwinnett County. “(In) Gwinnett County, where Plaintiffs appear to have heightened concerns due to ‘news reports,’ all rejections for questionable signatures are given a second layer of review by a team of three experienced current and former directors of election,” the attorneys said in their petition to the court.

major corporations. Upon meeting his future wife, Gloria Anderson, in the mid 1960’s he relocated to Atlanta. Over the years he held a variety of positions including chief financial officer and comptroller.

He completed his career as the comptroller for HeelyBrown, where he retired with more than a decade of service. He and Gloria were longtime active members of the Sugar Hill United Methodist Church, the Keenagers, and charter members of the Fellowship Sunday School Class.

Lee is survived by Gloria, his wife of fifty-three years, his two sons, Christopher “Chip” and wife Theresa of Reno, Nevada, and Charles “Chuck” of Ocean City, New Jersey, and his brother Jay Varner of Batesville, Indiana.

IN MEMORIAM KILLED IN THE LINE OF DUTY

•From Page 1A hundreds of law enforcement vehicles passed by with their blue lights flashing for about half an hour. The vehicles were escorting Toney’s body from his funeral at 12Stone Church in unincorporated Lawrenceville to Crowell Brother Funeral Home in Peachtree Corners.

“It’s a tremendous loss,” Rutherford said. “I just wanted to come out and show the family and all of these other officers that they are loved and that we care.”

Thousands of people lined the procession route to pay tribute to Toney on Wednesday. The 19-mile route started at 12Stone on Buford Drive and then came down Ga. Highway 316, turned west onto Sugarloaf Parkway and eventually turning south onto Peachtree Industrial Boulevard.

“Anybody who loves police officers and appreciates what they do for us (is) going to struggle with something like this,” said Jamie Frady, whose brother, Sgt. Jim Barfield, is a Gwinnett cop and knew Toney. “It was senseless and tragic. He was 30 years old.”

Buford resident Emily Hernandez brought

Procession her children, A.J., 3, and Ashlee, 1, to the parking lot of the Kroger across Sugarloaf Parkway from the Infinite Energy Center to watch the procession and they bought a pair of blue balloons at the grocery store to honor Toney.

Hernandez said she and her children met Toney once at a “Touch a Truck” event in the county.

“He was just in good spirits, very happy,” Hernandez said as she recalled the encounter.

She said she brought her children to watch the procession to teach them to “respect the life that (Toney) had and the sacrifice that he made.”

It was not just streets along the route that were filled. Public safety officers and residents also stood watch on overpasses on Ga. 316 to honor Toney.

A police officer told the Daily Post that law enforcement was in constant radio communication along the route and the last vehicles in the procession had still not pulled out of 12Stone’s parking lot by the time vehicles at the beginning of the procession reached the funeral home.

Some people who lined the route, such as Snellville resident Terri Bosma, held up large

American flags while other people carried smaller ones. As the hearse carrying Toney’s coffin approached where Bosma was standing in front of the Infinite Energy Center, a breeze caused her flag to rise up and flap in the wind.

“I think we need to show these guys some love and support,” Bosma said. “I think they’ve all been beaten down by the press and I just think they need the support. They put their lives on the line every day and I just want to say ‘Thank You.’”

After the funeral procession, the Gwinnett County Police Department expressed gratitude to the public for supporting Toney’s family as well as law enforcement in general through a posting on Twitter.

“Words cannot express

our appreciation to the men, women, children, elderly, workers, fellow law enforcement officers, firemen, and community for their love and support to our beloved Officer Antwan Toney,” the police department said in the post.

Officer Toney, end of watch Saturday, October 20, 2018.

Gwinnett County Police Department Officer Antwan Toney always loved police stickers.

“His sister, who was his best friend, said (as a child), he would run into the street and stop police officers to request a sticker,” Gwinnett police Maj. Everett Spellman said, smiling. “Officer Toney had a passion to be a police officer from a young age.”

Drawing a laugh from the more than 2,500 law enforcement officers and citizens who came from across Gwinnett, the state of Georgia and throughout the country to honor the fallen officer, Spellman’s words cut through the heaviness that consumed Lawrenceville’s 12Stone Church on Wednesday morning, reminding funeral attendees of Toney’s jovial per-

sonality. Toney was also remembered by droves of Gwinnettians who lined county streets to watch the officer’s funeral procession.

“Antwan taught our family how to live, how to be tenacious,” said Carla Johnson, Toney’s sister. “He showed us the importance of not just dreaming, but that hard work and effort was what was needed to see those dreams to fruition.”

Those dreams and that hard work is what got Toney a spot in the Gwinnett County Police Department’s 94th Academy nearly four years ago, said Police Chief A.A. “Butch” Ayers.

“Antwan was hired in 2015 because he was exactly the kind of person we were looking for,” Ayers said. “Someone with a strong character and a servant and guardian attitude and the ability to be as compassionate as possible but even tougher when he (wanted) to. And he always did it with a smile, always. To his family — you did a great job, and for that, we are eternally thankful.”

“Nonetheless, when he had to enforce the law, he did just that. (Toney’s) work ethic and commitment was second to none.”

That ethic came easily to Toney, Johnson said; he never needed any poking or prodding to motivate him.

Skeptical as he was, Smith said he agreed.

“Sure enough, we handed out that whole roll — probably 250 to 300 stickers on it.

Central Gwinnett students build magical wheelchair for classmate

By Trevor McNaBoe trevor.mcnaboe @gwinnettdailypost.com

All Central Gwinnett sophomore Yasmine Martinez wanted to be for Halloween was a princess.

On Thursday her wish was fulfilled during the school’s fourth annual Magic Wheelchair reveal.

In a magical and fairytale-themed wheelchair Yasmine maneuvered around the football field track to trick-or-treat with family members of friends flanking her.

The event is part of Central Gwinnett’s annual Safe Trick-or-Treat event, which brings student organizations and the community together to provide a venue for children to trick-or-treat.

Yasmine, who was born with spina bifada, has been in a wheelchair since birth.

Magic Wheelchair is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to put a smile on the face of every child in a wheelchair.

In previous years, Central Gwinnett has selected a student within the cluster or local area.

This year they decided to select a student from their own school.

Yasmine’s mother, Belinda, said she told her daughter about the school reaching out to build a wheelchair for her.

“It was really nice for them to think of us,” Belinda Martinez said. “It’s the first time its happened to us and we’re happy the community and school thought of us.”

Booths both gridiron standouts at Archer

By Taylor Denman Archer defensive back and Clemson football commit Andrew Booth is used to his twin sister, Alicia, by his side when he’s suited up on the football field, but their vantage points were switched on Tuesday.

Alicia is a quarterback and defensive back for Archer’s inaugural flag football team. The Tigers are 2-2 this season, and Alicia has emerged as one of the team’s standout players.

Andrew doesn’t like to be bothered on Friday nights. Keeping to himself and blocking out distractions are his way of being in “attack mode,” he said.

Alicia is just as intense on Tuesday nights as her brother is on Friday nights.

Players are finding out that Gwinnett County’s flag football league is a more physical game than originally advertised.

Alicia said. “I’m going to going.”

Andrew and Alicia hold a grudge until he says,

‘I’m sorry.’”

But perhaps it’s impressive the two get along so well because of all of the time they spend together after school. But it’s been steady since childhood; neither knows what life would be like away from the other person for longer than a few days. Alicia even followed Andrew on his college recruiting visits.

That may change soon.

Andrew is a Clemson commit without a sign of changing his mind.

“They don’t have cancers in the locker room,” Andrew said. “Every time I’m up there, they make me feel like I’m already on the team.”

Meanwhile, Alicia hasn’t ruled out Clemson, but her plan may be to stay in state

ing coverages, protections.

He’s done a really good job of picking up things in this offense, and I think that says volumes about his work ethic to be where he is.”

Florida head coach Dan Mullen expects to see plenty of Fields, a player he knows quite well.

Fields gave the Gators (6-1, 4-1 SEC) serious consideration and even visited the Gainesville campus following his commitment to Georgia (6-1, 4-1).

“Well I’m sure we’ll see him. I think he’s played in a bunch of games this year. They’ve used him primarily as a runner in that aspect. But you have the opportunity to create some new wrinkles within your scheme, within your system,” Mullen said. “So, we’ll see. If we get more of him in the game, obviously he’s a little different player than Fromm in what he does with his skill set.

Obviously, like I said, being a little more of a runner in how they utilize him.

But we’ve got to be ready

for both of them.”

If Smart knows how much Fields will play, he’s not saying. The only thing he’ll acknowledge is how far the young QB has come.

“Calling the play in the huddle, from when he got here until now, he’s so much further along,” Smart said. “I think seeing Jake do it and watching Jake manage it and seeing Jake do things; he’s learned from that. He’s very bright.”

Florida is coming off a bye and riding a five-game winning streak entering the matchup. The Gators lost 42-7 to the Bulldogs last season, snapping a run of three straight wins in the series.

“We have guys that love to go out there and play ball and love to play in dog fights,” Florida quarterback Feleipe Franks said.

“That’s the funnest part about playing football — to play in big games like this. We have to go out there and make the most of the opportunity.”

How will No. 7 Georgia respond?

That’s probably been the most-asked question of head coach Kirby Smart heading into Saturday’s game in Jacksonville, Fla., against archrival and ninthranked Florida.

Questions about quarterbacks Jake Fromm and Justin Fields are running a close second.

That includes queries into Fromm’s state of mind after his struggles in the Bulldogs’ 36-16 loss to LSU last week.

“He’s been great. He was super out there last week. Spirited. There’s a lot of competition. We tried to make competition between the offense and the defense, and he challenged guys and made some plays with the wideouts and the backs,” Smart said. “Jake’s not the kind of guy that backs down from the competition. He’s not going to do that.

“He’s not going to say, ‘I didn’t play my best game,’ and then go into a shell.

He’s out there working every day.”

Ditto for Fields.

Although Smart continues to say very little regarding potential plans for the freshman, he does acknowledge the former five-star recruit continues to make impressive progress.

“He’s doing a great job.

He’s competing every day, doing a good job, throwing good balls. I mean, he’s developing,” Smart said.

“He’s come a long way from the first of the season to now, to where he’s read-

Hebron’s Browning wins area as freshman Wesleyan sweeps team cross country 2-A titles

By Will Hammock will.hammock@ gwinnettdailypost.com

PEACHTREE CORNERS — A lack of familiarity with the Wesleyan School’s cross country course didn’t bother Brooke Browning.

The Hebron Christian freshman won the Class A Area 2 individual championship Thursday afternoon in a meet that saw freshman girls sweep the top four spots. The Lions’ Georgia Piper was third, just behind runner-up Sophie Villa of Wesleyan.

“It meant a lot to me (to win),” Browning said. “I’m really excited about it.

“I didn’t expect to win. I didn’t really know many of the teams that were going to be out here, so I was kind of unsure about it.”

The Wesleyan boys and girls, in familiar territory, swept the team titles. The Wolves now advance to the upcoming state meet at Carrollton as area champions. They will be joined by the Hebron girls (third) and boys (second) as state qualifiers.

Providence Christian was fifth in both races, narrowly missing state. The Storm boys tied Riverside Military for the fourth spot, but lost out on the state bid

(18:44.26), Shane Kelly took 11th (18:52.29), Jamarcus Turner was 16th (19:09.20) and Colton Villa placed 18th (19:14.11).

“I was proud of them all, but Fletcher Morris, a sophomore in his first year running cross country, was our third guy and finished 10th overall,” McDaniel said. “It’s just cool to see a kid take it up, see that he’s talented, then put in the work and get to see success, both team and individual.”

The Providence boys put three runners in the top 20 — Luke Hudson (eighth, 18:26.44), Joel Duffie (13th, 19:03.61) and Landon King (17th, 19:13.01).

Norcross’ Carter making mark as rookie

By Taylor Denman

taylor.denman@ gwinnettdailypost.com

ATLANTA — At the 2:18 mark in the first quarter of Monday night’s game between the Atlanta Falcons and New York Giants, Norcross grad Lorenzo Carter made friends and family proud and distressed at the same time.

Carter burst from the Giants’ four-man front and blanketed Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan for New York’s third sack of the game. He couldn’t help but shout with exhilaration afterward.

“It’s a rush of energy,” Carter said. “You work so hard just to get a chance to get back there. To get them on the ground, it’s a rush.”

Carter’s ties to metro Atlanta and the University of Georgia football team, for whom he played the last time he was in Mercedes-Benz Stadium for the 2018 College Football Playoff National Championship game, earned him a respectful nod from those who witnessed his invaluable contributions to UGA’s run last season.

That’s saying something since Falcons fans would normally groan at a sack as the club clings to every win, desperate to keep pace in the NFC South.

He expected a few scold-

ing text messages along with some support when it came to sacking Atlanta’s newly extended franchise quarterback.

Carter keeps his hometown close still.

He returned after rookie training camp this summer to help his former head coach Keith Maloof and Peachtree Ridge grad Bradley Roby host a youth football skills clinic. He spent some time with his family and made sure to take advantage of the food he needed to binge before he returned to New York (Waffle House was on the list).

Carter and the Giants lost 23-20 on Monday, New York’s fourth consecutive loss this season.

The Giants’ defense nearly

did what it had to in order to give New York a chance to tie the game on its final drive. Atlanta kicker Georgio Tavecchio, filling in for an injured Matt Bryant, slotted a 56-yard field goal through the uprights to give Atlanta the twopossession lead it needed to clinch the game.

Carter is admittedly critical of himself. He wasn’t exactly tipping his cap to Tavecchio after the game. It’s not to say he doesn’t respect the lategame heroics, but he felt like the Giants defense needed a few more stops, sacks, pass breakups and otherwise leverage-flipping plays to beat a struggling Atlanta team.

“We try to play a complementary game,”

FOOTBALL PICK’EM

Carter said. “The defense complements the offense and vice-versa. We just didn’t do enough at the end of the day. That’s what this game comes down to, making more plays than the other team.”

Carter is on the field often for the Giants, typically part of New York’s pass-rush package. When the Giants wants to bring pressure, Carter’s their goto guy. Bringing pressure was one of Carter’s specialties at UGA. He racked up 14 sacks in his career, including 4.5 in his senior campaign. He was a fivestar recruit and two-time state champion at Norcross and an immediate impact during his freshman season at Georgia. He appeared in 10 games, tallied 4.5 sacks and seven tackles for loss.

He’s having a similar impact with the Giants this year. Carter’s sack on Monday was the second of his NFL career in seven games. “(Georgia coach Kirby Smart) actually prepared me really well,” Carter said. “We played an NFL defense at Georgia. You can tell once you get into the league that we actually had pretty good coaches.”

He’s trying to soak up wisdom from NFL veterans Connor Barwin, Olivier Vernon and Alec Ogletree — a Newnan

High School alum and Georgia football standout. Carter is also teammates with another former Gwinnett County standout, Grayson’s Wayne Gallman, who won a national title at Clemson in his junior season before entering the draft.

Carter was on the field for roughly half of New York’s defensive and special teams plays.

He also plays on the Giants’ punt return team.

He and his teammates sealed some crucial blocks for a 21-yard punt return by fellow rookie Quadree Henderson.

“It’s good getting a chance to run down and make an impact,” he said.

“For me, I’m not going to get all the snaps on defense. Anywhere I can help out and get more snaps is good.”

When Carter was taken No. 66 overall in the third round of the 2018 NFL draft, he didn’t expect to ride the bench.

Presently, he’s not too worried about his role. It’s icing on the cake, considering his career is just starting.

“I knew I was going to have to come in and help as much as I can, whether it’s playing every snap or getting in on third downs and special teams,” Carter said. “I’m cool with it all.”

IN BRIEF

Brookwood’s Adams to play hoops at Florida Gulf Coast Brookwood senior Kiki Adams announced her college commitment Tuesday night, choosing the Florida Gulf Coast University women’s basketball program.

Adams is entering her fourth season as a varsity starter for the Broncos.

The 6-foot-1 forward earned all-county honors from the Daily Post last season, when she averaged 15.4 points (fifth in Gwinnett County), 6.3 rebounds, 3.6 assists (sixth in Gwinnett) and 2.3 steals.

Buford’s Leland commits to East Carolina

Gwinnett goalkeeper Maggie Leland made a commitment this week to the East Carolina University women’s soccer program.

Leland, a junior at Buford, plays for Gwinnett Soccer Academy’s Elite Clubs National League team. She earned all-region honors as a freshman goalkeeper at Buford, helping the Wolves to the state finals, but didn’t play high school soccer in 2018.

— From staff reports

FANS CHOICE FALL ATHLETE OF THE WEEK Who: Cydney Gardner School: Brookwood Sport: Volleyball Class: Junior Highlights: Had a teamhigh 12 kills, 24 digs and an ace in the Broncos’ 3-0 win over Peachtree Ridge in the first round of the state playoffs Coach Stacey Bennum’s take: “Cydney has been on varsity since her freshman year. She works hard and is one of the strongest hitters on our team and in the region and county. She is very skilled in attack selection, mixing strong power with finesse shots. She also plays great defense. She is not only a committed, talented volleyball player, but also incredibly competitive in the classroom as well.

She is definitely one of our leaders, because of her responsibility, commitment, skill and great relationship with her teammates. We are excited to have Cydney for one more year.”

“We did not execute very well offensively,” said Buford coach Tony Wolfe, whose Wolves will take on Villa Rica in an elimination game, now scheduled for 2:15 p.m. Friday.

“You give (McCubbin) a lot of credit with the way she pitched, but we had chances and we didn’t take advantage of them. We had first and second with one out two different times early and didn’t score, and against a team like Locust Grove, you cannot miss opportunities. They’re too good offensively.”

The Wildcats were just good enough to scratch for a run in the bottom of the fourth, when a Taegen Lewellen walked, when to third on a Kelly Kight single and beat the throw to the plate on Skylar Elkins’ fielder’s choice grounder for a 1-0 lead.

That turned out to be the only run McCubbin needed, though Kight added insurance with a solo home run in the bottom of the sixth.

Kight finished the game 2-for-4 to lead Locust Grove, while Kelly Paulson and Anabel Adams each went 1-for-2 with a walk to pace the Buford offense.

Gladiators fall after forcing overtime From Staff Reports JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Jesse Gabrielle’s goal with 2:23 left in the third period salvaged a point for the Atlanta Gladiators in a 3-2 overtime loss to Jacksonville on Thursday.

The Gladiators (2-2-1-0) went down 2-1 on a shorthanded tally by Wacey Rabbit in the final minutes of the second period and spent nearly all of the third trying to get even. Atlanta outshot Jacksonville 11-4

in the final 20 minutes and Gabrielle’s second pro goal forged the tie at 17:33.

Gabrielle got a drop pass from Zach Malatesta and blasted a wrist shot past goalie Mikhail Berdin.

Derek Nesbitt also assisted on the late-game tally.

Jacksonville (3-0-0-0) opened up a 1-0 lead 3:55 into the game and held that until midway through the second.

The Ice Men capitalized on a fortunate bounce for the early lead. Garrett

Cockrill skated through the right circle and tossed a backhand shot toward the net. Goaltender Sean Bonar made the left pad save, but the puck redirected off the skate of his defenseman and came back across the goal line.

After a bevy of chances on net, Atlanta broke through at 13:46 of the second period with a power-play goal.

Justin MacDonald tied it 1-1 on a one-timer assisted

by Nolan LaPorte, who

was just activated from injured reserve, and Ben Danford.

Jacksonville regained the lead with 1:30 left in the second period. After Danford was hauled down coming into his offensive zone and the Gladiators were left wanting a penalty called, Dajon Mingo chipped the puck the other direction and gave Rabbit a shorthanded breakaway.

He ripped the puck over the right shoulder of Bonar for the 2-1 lead.

during the Class AAAAA opening-round game between Buford and Locust Grove.

But as well as Ansleigh Hollifield threw for the Wolves, she couldn’t quite keep pace with Brooke McCubbin, who tossed a five-hit shutout and got enough support to help the defending state champion Wildcats to a 2-0 win.

McCubbin escaped trouble in each of the first three innings, and then settled in to retire 14 of the last 16 Buford hitters she faced, finishing with six strikeouts in helping Locust Grove advance to a winner’s bracket game against Thomas County Central later in the evening.

Meanwhile, Hollifield kept Buford (17-11) within shouting distance, also allowing only five hits, but two earned runs, with six strikeouts.

But after the Wolves stranded four runners in the first three innings, including an unconventional 4-5-4 double play that snuffed out a potential rally in the top of the second, they couldn’t muster much offense against McCubbin, and dropped their opener to Locust Grove for the second straight season after winning 10 straight

THE BREAKDOWN

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

BERKMAR AT LAKESIDE BERKMAR PATRIOTS (7-AAAAAAA) Coach: Willie Gary Record: 2-7, 0-5 region Last week: Lost to Norcross 48-0

LAKESIDE VIKINGS (7-AAAAAAA) Coach: Zack Edwards Record: 1-7, 0-4 region Last week: Had a bye

Berkmar’s best chance at its first region win since 2013 is also its last chance.

The Patriots haven’t won since picking up the team’s second win of the season on Sept. 14 against Clarkston.

Lakeside also is winless in region play and has one win on the season against Decatur in the opening week. The Vikings have scored fewer points and allowed more to opposing teams this season compared to Berkmar. The Vikings have scored 63 points to Berkmar’s 84, while allowing 367 points to opponents, the most in Class AAAAAAA. Berkmar will look toward a good performance for perhaps its best athlete in senior quarterback Donte Henry. While running back Jonathan Wiley has the most Donte offensive carries, Henry leads the team in rushing this season. If Berkmar’s offensive Henry line can protect Henry, it could make for a good offensive day for Berkmar.

Even if the Patriots don’t win on Friday, Berkmar stands a solid chance of putting up more offense against Lakeside than it has in all of its region games combined.

Berkmar has scored one touchdown, an 11-yard pass to A.J. Feliciano from Henry against Parkview, in five region games. Lakeside has allowed multiple touchdowns to every opponent it’s played this season.

Berkmar has never beat Lakeside in 10 previous meeting between the teams. Lakeside has nine wins over the Patriots. The game Lakeside didn’t win ended in a tie in 1976.

Last meeting: Lakeside won 46-12 last year Location: Adams Stadium

GRAYSON AT ROCKDALE CO. GRAYSON RAMS (8-AAAAAAA) Coach: Christian Hunnicutt Record: 6-2, 3-0 region Last week: Beat Newton 57-14

ROCKDALE CO. BULLDOGS (8-AAAAAAA) Coach: Jamie Baldwin Record: 2-6, 1-2 region Last week: Lost to Archer 40-20

A Grayson team that had seemed puzzling and playing below its potential at times this season has apparently found its direction and identity over the past three weeks, and it couldn’t come at a better time for coach Christian Hunnicutt.

“I think the strength of this team is definitely the defense,” Hunnicutt said. “We’ll go as far as our defense takes us. Our special teams have improved since (the season opener against) Tucker, and our offense is working really hard.”

Indeed, the Rams’ defense, paced by leading tackler Owen Pappoe and Gwinnett sacks leader K.G. Harris II, will be a particularly key as the Rams travel to Reid Stadium in Conyers to take on a Rockdale County offense led by strongarmed quarterback Justin Steele.

Josh “Obviously, they attack the field vertically and horizontally,” Hunnicutt said of the Stinson Bulldogs. “(Steele) can make a variety of throws. So we have to work diligently to get him off his spot.”

But as important as the defense will be and has been for the Rams recently, the offense also appears to be hitting its stride.

The emergence of Phil Mafah as a complement to lead runner Jonathan Halyard has added depth and balance to an offense that already features a passing game that is gaining further confidence behind quarterback J’Kori Jones and receivers like Kenyon Jackson, Ryan King and Josh Stinson.

“We feel like we have a good tandem (with Halyard and Mafah) at running back,” Hunnicutt said.

“We feel like we can rely on those two guys running the football.”

MEADOWCREEK AT PARKVIEW MEADOWCREEK MUSTANGS (7-AAAAAAA) Coach: Jason Carrera Record: 6-2, 2-2 Last week: Lost to Central Gwinnett 35-10

PARKVIEW PANTHERS (7-AAAAAAA) Coach: Eric Godfree Record: 8-0, 4-0 Last week: Beat Brookwood 31-2

This game is important for both teams, though for different reasons. Parkview can wrap up the No. 1 playoff seed from Region 7-AAAAAAA, and at least a share of its first region championship since 2004, with a victory. Meadowcreek comes into the game with its back to the wall, needing a win to keep its slim playoff hopes alive. Mustangs coach Jason Carrera knows nothing will come easy against the No. 2 state-ranked Panthers.

“We’re trying to get (the players) back focused,” Carrera said. “We’ve looked at the mistakes we made (in last week’s loss to Central Gwinnett) we’re trying to correct them. We had a couple of penalties and turnovers (in Central territory). There were a lot of little things that cost us in those situations. We’ve just got to take Malik advantage of those opportunities on offense and stay the course on defense.”

Washington The Mustangs could use a strong night from offensive players like quarterback Quincy Bonner or running backs Javion Johnson or Dezmon Jackson, the defense will also be on the spot trying to stop a Parkview offense with numerous weapons. The status of one of those weapons, quarterback Jordan Williams, is still up in the air, though if he can’t go, coach Eric Godfree has a couple of different options. He can shift all-purpose skill player Malik Washington to quarterback, where he ran for 115 yards and three TDs from in last week’s win over Brookwood, or can insert freshman T.J. Williams. Either way, Godfree is confident in the ability of the Panthers’ offense to keep humming along.

“We’ll make that decision if we need to,” Godfree said. “When you have a dynamic player like Malik, you need and want him to be on the field with the ball in his hands as much as possible. T.J. Williams is a freshman, but we’ve got a lot of confidence in him.

“At this point in the season, we know the offense very well. The biggest thing might be the disruption in timing. But with our defense playing so well, (the offense) isn’t so anxious to score on every drive.”

PROVIDENCE CHRISTIAN AT ATHENS CHRISTIAN PROVIDENCE CHRISTIAN STORM (8-A) Coach: Parker Conley Record: 3-5, 0-3 region Last week: Lost to Athens Academy 40-21

ATHENS CHRISTIAN EAGLES (8-A) Coach: Chris Williams Record: 2-6, 0-3 region Last week: Lost to George Walton 21-6

There’s no need for hyperbole in this matchup. Teams with similar records and close in the power rankings, both needing a region win, meet in the final week of the regular schedule. Next week are the 8-A divisional cross-over play-in games and the result will determine the matchups for Providence and Athens Christian.

“We are extremely excited to be in the final push,” Storm head coach Parker Conley said. “We feel like we match up very well with them. The message the whole week has been that the opportunity is on the table.

“I’ve definitely felt there is a focus. What we try to encourage is there also needs to be an edge in order to go get this.”

Athens Christian is coming off a stretch of three straight games against top-10 Griffin opponents — a gauntlet Providence faced a little earlier in the season.

Presely “They’re going to run all sorts of formations,” Conley said. “They run and pass out of it to try to confuse the defense. We’ve got to be really focused on alignments and assignments.”

Juniors Jordan Van den Berg and Griffin Presley continue to lead the defense and Conley will rely on both to direct the defense through the Athens Christian’s multiple looks.

“Griffin has been a consistent pillar for us this week,” Conley said. “He’s one of the guys we’re trusting and, of course, having Van den Berg as the middle guy.”

Offensively, the Storm have stayed with Ben Johnson at quarterback since Hunter Giella went down with an injury. Giella was worked back in at receiver, and Conley is happy with that setup now that he’s 100 percent again.

“After Ben stepped in for Hunter, putting Hunter at wide receiver and tailback has been phenomenal,” Conley said. “Hunter has done a really good job in that role and has worked really hard to be successful. Then having some key linemen coming back to health, we’re really excited with where we are.”

DISCOVERY AT DULUTH DISCOVERY TITANS (6-AAAAAAA) DULUTH WILDCATS (6-AAAAAAA) Coach: Efrem Hill Coach: Bob Swank Record: 1-7, 0-4 region Record: 3-5, 1-3 region Last week: Lost to Collins Hill 34-20 Last week: Lost to North Gwinnett 41-0 Duluth still has its postseason fate in its own hands, trailing Mountain View for the region’s fourth and final state playoff berth by just one game with a road game against the Bears in the regular season finale next week. But the Wildcats must first subdue a scrappy Discovery team that has been competitive in most of its games but hasn’t been able to push themselves over the top.

“All of our goals for the season are still in front of us,” Duluth coach Bob Swank said. “This is the first step. Discovery is a very good football team. I know their record doesn’t reflect that, but on film, they look a lot like every other (region) team we’ve played. They’ve got to some pretty good athletes and team speed with guys like (Kobe) Johnson and Shamenski (Rucker). It’s going to be really key for us Adam not giving up big plays and make them earn anything and everything they get. Our Mullins defense plays hard and we’ve got good senior leadership, so we should be OK.” The Duluth defense will have to be on its toes to defend against Discovery playmakers like Johnson, Rucker and quarterback Alex Drazic, and will look to veterans like two-way senior Adam Mullins and junior Jordan Coggins to help contain them.

While Discovery coach Efrem Hill has been pleased with the big-play ability occasionally shown by his skill players, he is looking for a little more steady production from the Titans offense. With the help of linemen like Wilson Ruiz, the hope is that goal can begin to be achieved this Friday.

“It’s been a goal for us all season to be more consistent to where we can run and pass the ball,” Hill said. “If we can run, we make it easier for Alex to throw the ball more comfortably. Our offensive line, I challenged them this week with being able to show a little nastiness.”

HEBRON CHRISTIAN AT ATHENS ACADEMY HEBRON CHRISTIAN LIONS (8-A) Coach: Jeff Saturday Record: 5-3, 3-1 region Last week: Beat Riverside Military 17-7

ATHENS ACADEMY SPARTANS (8-A) Coach: Josh Alexander Record: 8-0, 4-0 region Last week: Beat Providence Christian 40-21

It’s already been a prolific year for the Hebron Christian football team in its quest to reach the playoffs and record the program’s first postseason victory.

The Lions set the forth and tied for the fifth-highest point totals in program history in its games against Lakeview Academy and Athens Christian, respectively. Hebron’s 47-0 win over Towns County is tied for the second-largest margin of victory in Lions football history. Hebron’s average margin of victory of 15.75 is the highest since the Lions began playing a full region schedule since 2012. Last year’s margin of 8.0 was the previous record.

Through eight games, the Lions are also well under the lowest points allowed total for any Hebron team since 2012. Hebron’s defense has given up 125 points Aiden this season, while the Lions’ next closest total is 213 points through 10 games.

Meek While the Lions have come close at times this season, there’s still one thing the program has been unable to accomplish. In 11 matchups since 2012, Hebron has never beaten a top-10 opponent. The Lions have their third matchup this season against a ranked opponent in Athen Academy, the No. 3 team in Class A. Hebron has played ranked opponents closely this season, falling to Commerce by three points and Clinch County by seven. Athens Academy’s closest margins of victory are by seven and four points against George Walton and Prince Avenue Christian, respectively.

Kicker Aiden Meek has 36 total points on kicks this season, and a 29-yard field goal in the third quarter of last week’s game gave Hebron a lead it would not relinquish.

Hebron is the No. 18 team in the Class A-Private power ratings, one spot higher than the Lions finished last year.

NORTH GWINNETT AT PEACHTREE RIDGE NORTH GWINNETT BULLDOGS (6-AAAAAAA) Coach: Bill Stewart Record: 7-2, 5-0 region Last week: Beat Duluth 41-0

PEACHTREE RIDGE LIONS (6-AAAAAAA) Coach: Reggie Stancil Record: 0-8, 0-4 region Last week: Had a bye

Last year’s win for North Gwinnett over Peachtree Ridge reestablished the traditional dominance of Suwanee’s oldest football team over its little brother, Peachtree Ridge.

The Lions had one win over North Gwinnett prior to 2015. A 19-17 win against the No. 6-ranked Bulldogs in 2008 in the final week of the season clinched Peachtree Ridge’s first region championship and set the Lions on a course to the Class AAAAA state finals.

But even Peachtree Ridge’s ranked teams struggled to beat North Gwinnett. It so happened that when a ranked Lions squad met North Gwinnett, the Bulldogs happened to be ranked higher. Peachtree Ridge was the No. 4 team in Class Javonni AAAAA in 2007.

Cunningham North Gwinnett was ranked No. 2 and won 31-19. In 2009, the No. 8 Lions with future NFL veteran Bradley Roby lost to the No. 2 Bulldogs.

Last year, North Gwinnett hadn’t yet secured the Region 6 championship, but the Bulldogs and Lions meet this year with less uncertainty at stake. Javonni Cunningham has played back-to-back games with three catches for more than 50 yards.

The Lions are desperate for their first win of the season. Peachtree Ridge already had one win prior to last year’s meeting with North Gwinnett. The Lions earned their second in the following week against Duluth.

Perhaps Peachtree Ridge’s last chance for a win this season isn’t a guarantee either. That will be decided in the final week of the season against a Discovery team that has scored 134 points this season, nearly three times Peachtree Ridge’s season total.

Last meeting: North Gwinnett won 44-8 last year.

SOUTH GWINNETT AT ARCHER SOUTH GWINNETT COMETS (8-AAAAAAA) Coach: Steve Davenport Record: 4-4, 2-1 region Last week: Beat Shiloh 49-24

ARCHER TIGERS (8-AAAAAAA) Coach: Andy Dyer Record: 6-2, 2-1 region Last week: Beat Rockdale County 40-20

Archer and South Gwinnett are tied for second place in Region 8-AAAAAAA, making this a meaningful game for playoff seeding purposes. The two sides played a defensive battle, won 14-0 by Archer, last season.

“We’ve got to continue to be successful to have home-field advantage in the first round,” Archer head coach Andy Dyer said.

“Plus we’re playing a really good South team that took us to the wire a year ago. It’s a really good challenge for us.”

South clinched a state playoff berth, its third straight, with recent wins over fellow contenders Shiloh (49-24) and Rockdale (40-21). The Comets have won three of four, but now face a tough finish with region frontrunners Archer and Mikkael Grayson over the next two weeks.

Reynolds “Now that we’re in (the playoffs), we want to make sure we’re prepared and playing our best ball,” said South head coach Steve Davenport, who likes the direction of his program, which also fielded an unbeaten junior varsity team and a 6-1 ninth-grade squad.

Hard-running Jalen Samuels scored four touchdowns in South’s win last Friday and teamed up with Dyllan McKoy for 115 rushing yards.

South’s offensive front has been at its best of late, paving the way for the running attack and talented wideouts like DeShaun Robinson (three catches, 57 yards last week) and Adrian Compton (30-yard TD catch). “(South’s) got a talented bunch and they’re doing a lot of good stuff on offense,” Dyer said.

Aside from a disappointing loss to Grayson, Archer has put up big offensive numbers throughout the season. Running backs Mikkael Reynolds (15 rushes, 131 yards, TD) and Semaje Banks (7 rushes, 58 yards, 3 TDs, 3 catches, 93 yards, TD) led the way in the Rockdale win.

WALNUT GROVE AT BUFORD

WESLEYAN AT STRONG ROCK

WALNUT GROVE WARRIORS (8-AAAAA) BUFORD WOLVES (8-AAAAA) Coach: Robert Andrews Coach: John Ford Record: 2-6, 1-2 region Record: 6-2, 3-0 Last week: Lost 40-3 to West Hall Last week: Beat Loganville 43-0 Buford’s football program can claim its 29th region championship with a win over Walnut Grove, which will tie the Wolves for third place all-time in Georgia.

There’s little debate about whether or not that number is impressive. The two programs in front of Buford — Valdosta and Lincoln County — have 39 and 33 region championships, respectively. Both circumstances are different from Buford’s own. Valdosta is one of the state’s original high school football teams (with record of games dating back to 1913), while Lincoln County hasn’t been quite the same since legendary head coach Larry Campbell won 33 region titles, 11 state championship and accumulated 477 wins, making him the all-time winningest coach in Georgia high school football history.

Jamaal For a football program to rack up that many state championships requires a long Singleton history — football has been played at Buford since 1942. It also requires a history of success.

Buford won the county’s first state championship in 1978. Buford didn’t win another until the 2001 team coached by Dexter Wood won the first of three straight state championships. Buford has moved into a higher classification, and the Wolves still win. Buford has won state titles in four different classifications in GHSA. Buford’s success is a credit to its depth. The Wolves have college-bound players up and down the roster such as Texas commit Darrien Browm, Ohio State commit Harry Miller, and Ole Miss prospect Reece McIntyre. Most recently, Tennessee Tech earned a commitment from defensive back Jamaal Singleton.

In two meetings with Walnut Grove, Buford has never lost and allowed one touchdown in 2016.

WESLEYAN WOLVES (5-A) STRONG ROCK PATRIOTS (5-A) Coach: Franklin Pridgen Coach: Tommy Webb Record: 4-4, 4-1 region Record: 3-5, 2-3 region Last week: Beat Landmark Christian 38-0 Last week: Lost to Eagle’s Landing 52-7 Wesleyan has a clear assignment this week with the containment of Strong Rock quarterback Demetrius Knight, who is committed to Georgia Tech as an athlete.

“He’s exceptional,” Wolves head coach Franklin Pridgen said. “Some people say he’s the best player in our region and, no question, he makes them go. Every time he’s on the field, he’s the focus. It helps we know that so we can game plan. Knight has talented supporting actors at the skill positions, but he is the heart and soul of the team.”

Wesleyan has taken on similar stars in the past, including this season against Mount Vernon, and have fared well with a stout collective defense. Juniors Cardo Gottlich (54 tackles) and Trent Bartlett (43), along with sophomore Tanner Bivins (41) have led the Wolves on defense this season. Bartlett also has a team-leading Cardo seven interceptions.

Gottlich “Those three guys didn’t play a lot of varsity football for us last year,” Pridgen said. “The fact that they’ve been able to make the leap successfully and are among our leaders on defense shows what you can do with kids who commit to the program and commit to the training.”

Wesleyan’s running game is well distributed between Luke Carroll (243), J.C. French (196), Andrew Lore (172) and Donald Conley (153). But it’s the air attack that’s led the Wolves, who need the win to solidify their position in the Class A Private power rankings, this season. French, a freshman, has passed for 1,213 yards and 11 touchdowns. Senior J.D. Kavel is the top target with 496 yards on 37 catches, but freshman Cooper Blauser (20-277) and Michal Smith (16-250) give French more options.

“I know opposing coaches in their meetings have said, ‘Hey, let’s pressure the ninth-grader and get him to make some mistakes,’” Pridgen said. “He does make some mistakes, but he’s not playing like a freshman. And credit to the offensive line and his protection for giving him time to work.”

a really good job of keeping kids focused and seeing the big picture.”

Mountain View may not get a home playoff game this year, but the Bears want to avoid a potential first-round matchup against No. 3 Parkview in the state playoffs as the region’s No. 4 seed.

Head coach Rob Kellogg and the Bears are trying to rebound against a physical game against Mill Creek last week, that left the Bears’ defense on the field for large chunks of time.

The Bears and Hawks entered last week’s matchup with two of the county’s top rushers — Mill Creek’s Chancellor Lee-Parker and Mountain View’s Davion Criss. That game didn’t quite live up to its billing as LeeParker didn’t receive his typical volume of carries because of an injury and Mountain View

The staff makes its predictions for this week’s prep football winners

Norcross’ advantage might be in its experienced quarterback Louis Williams. Of all the county’s returning starting quarterbacks this season, Williams’ 60 percent completion rate ranked second in addition to the third-most passing yards (1,728).

Jones said Norcross has noticeably tailored its offense to emphasize Williams’ strengths to the credit of Maloof, a coach for whom he garners an “immense” amount of respect.

“He’s back from last year, and you can see watching film the growth, and schematically they’ve done some things to help make him more comfortable,” Jones said. “That’s smart because in this day and age, you have to build your offense so your quarterback can have success.”

Williams managed 179 passing yards against Parkview.

Brookwood, however, struggled to make its offensive strength count against the Panthers.

Brookwood running backs Eli Kohl and Chris Carter combined for 44 yards rushing.

A home playoff game is at stake, as well as a potentially favorable matchup against the seeded teams from Region 6 in the first round of the playoffs.

Both Brookwood and Norcross have managed to avoid defending state champion North Gwinnett, thanks to wins against Central Gwinnett. There’s still uncertainty regarding the matchups for all other playoff matchups with Mill Creek, Collins Hill and Mountain View still fighting for positioning in Region 6.

Brookwood and Norcross were unable to score touchdowns against Parkview, but the two teams’ defensive issues in their respective games against the No. 3 Class AAAAAAA team and region rival were similar.

Both had one quarter in which the Panthers posted 21 points, subsequently cruising to wins in both contests. Brookwood’s was early on. Parkview scored on its first two offensive plays, then once more to take a 21-0 lead with roughly two minutes left in the first quarter.

“The kids prove to us that they’re always more resilient than you give them credit for,” Broncos coach Philip Jones said. “That wasn’t an easy pill to swallow (against Parkview) but it was encouraging to see our kids out there excited about the challenge ahead.”

Norcross trailed 7-0 until a third-quarter turnover, penalties and a long punt return led to three Parkview touchdowns in eight minutes. Those mistakes doomed Norcross.

“We felt good about what we’ve done,” Blue Devils coach Keith Maloof said. “We played pretty good against Parkview, we just never really punched it in.

“We played close, and then special teams let us down a little bit. That happens with a young football team. Hopefully, we’ve got that fixed moving forward.”

Brookwood is a different team from the one that rolled past Norcross 28-6 last year en route to the state semifinals. The Broncos lost a handful of key players, including their quarterback Angelo DiSpigna, starting running back Dante Black and Gwinnett offensive player of the year Matthew Hill. It’s still to be determined whether Brookwood quarterback Connor Chavis is healthy for Friday night’s game since sophomores Caleb Ellard and Jack Spyke have shared reps for the last two weeks. There may be some existent injuries on Brookwood’s offensive line since the Broncos lost a tackle in the middle of the Parkview game last week.

BROOKWOOD AT NORCROSS

Collins Hill and Mountain View played a penalty-laden game last season that ended in the Eagles edging the Bears for the No. 3 seed in Region 6.

There is slightly more on the line for the Eagles in this year’s game. Collins Hill has a game against Mill Creek on the horizon, which could be for the No. 2 seed and a home playoff game in Round 1 of the state playoffs.

The Eagles are not overlooking Mountain View yet, since the game against Mill Creek will be meaningless without a win today.

The Collins Hill Eagles that were 0-4 in non-region still have a lot to look forward to with two regular season games left.

“I’ve been really proud of the kids because it’s so easy to listen to outsiders,” Eagles coach Lenny Gregory said. “You get people that don’t understand the schedule that we’ve had and work that we’ve put in. …

The kids like each other and that’s the biggest thing. It’s a close-knit group and there’s no backing down on their part. They believed in the process and I think my coaching staff has done

struggled to make big gains offensively.

“Everybody knows we rely pretty heavily on the run game,” Kellogg said. “We could not run it consistently last week for a variety of reasons. We have to run it better and mix in enough pass to be effective, as well.”

Gregory said Mountain View is more diverse running the football than Criss alone. He pointed to quarterback Luke Hennebaul, who has the ability to convert third downs with his arm and his legs.

There’s some slight history to the rivalry, even though Mountain View’s football program is in the midst of its ninth season.

Mountain View split off from a section of Collins Hill’s school district, meaning a few players on either team were at one point teammates in Collins Hill’s feeder program.

Gregory has noticed those relationships between players in his second year with Collins Hill after moving into the county from Centennial. Kellogg, who was a coordinator at Mountain View, said those ties still exist, but the passing years make them an endangered species.

“I had really noticed the last few years,” Kellogg said. “There was still that portion of kids that had come up in the Collins Hill program. We’re very young this year, and I think every year that goes by it gets less and less.”

The Booths put the letter “A” in the word “athlete” — all eight Booth children’s names begin with “A.” Andrew and Alicia’s three older siblings were

Andrew is the middlemost of all of the Booth children, age-wise, but he’s the oldest of three boys in the family. He said he’s finding out how much his younger siblings, particularly his brothers, look up to him.

That makes it important for Andrew set an example for his siblings to follow.

Athletically, the standard Andrew sets is high. He’s making sure he does the same thing as a citizen in life outside of football, too.

“It makes me more understanding of my every son at Georgia Highlands College, she posted a slash move because I know he’s watching me,” Andrew said. line of .440/.493/.620.

Title •From Page 1B a coach, that’s why you do what you do. You want to try to match up with a team like that.”

Jenkins has been around for Dacula’s previous region success as an assistant coach. He has kept it going in his new role with another run through region play, which has been matched

by Lanier.

Both teams are 6-2 overall and 3-0 in the region.

Both have won five straight since starting the season 1-2.

“The first thing that jumps out to you is their defense,” Jenkins said of Lanier. “They’ve got some really good kids on defense that can run. To me, defensively they jump out at you. They have really good

linebackers. That’s the first thing. Obviously, they’ve got a quarterback (Zach Calzada) with a big arm.

He’s a really good player.

He’s a guy that can throw a touchdown on you at any time. That’s always a concern. They can run the ball and throw the football.”

Getting that offense rolling against Dacula hasn’t been easy.

Lanier was completely shut down by the Falcons two years ago in a 20-0 loss and didn’t fare a lot better in a 41-7 defeat.

The Longhorns’ rushing attack struggled mightily and Calzada threw for only 132 yards, 55 on a fourth-quarter touchdown pass when his team already trailed 27-0.

The final score wasn’t indicative of how close the

“Our kids feel good right now, they’ve got a little confidence,” Jenkins said. “We want to take it and keep rolling with it.

Obviously, the kids know this is a big game and what it means for seeding in the playoffs and putting yourself in the best possible scenario for the playoffs.

Any time you can lock up a region championship it’s big. It should be a really good football game because they’ve got a really good team over there.”

Mobbs isn’t surprised with Dacula’s success this year.

Lanier has matched that level of play during its current winning streak, setting up a fun matchup in a burgeoning rivalry. It has grown because Dacula and Lanier are the only two schools in the Gwinnett County Public Schools system not in Class AAAAAAA, making them the only Gwinnett programs in 8-AAAAAA. “Our kids get really excited to play Lanier,” Jenkins said. “It’s another Gwinnett County school and I think that’s part of it.

We were in a Gwinnett region forever. We still play Gwinnett in non-region.

But having a Gwinnett team in the region and one that’s always the frontrunner for the region championship, that probably just adds to it.”

In such proceeding the Court will also pass on the validity of the security for the payment of the Bonds, which consists of the Intergovernmental Contract (the “Contract”) between the Urban Redevelopment Agency of Gwinnett County, Georgia (the “Agency”) and Gwinnett County, Georgia (the “County”), proposed to be executed in connection therewith. Pursuant to the terms of the Contract, the County will agree to (1) make payments to the Agency in amounts sufficient to enable the Agency to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds when due, and (2) levy an annual ad valorem tax on all taxable property located within the corporate limits of the County, at such rates, without limitation as to rate or amount, as may be necessary to produce in each year revenues that are sufficient to fulfill the County’s obligations under the Contract.

Ragin’ Cajun wings and breadsticks are part of the diverse menu at Zoner’s Pizza, Wings and Waffles. (Staff Photos: Trevor McNaboe)

BY TREVOR MCNABOE trevor.mcnaboe @gwinnettdailypost.com

Franchisee: Terran Nelson Open since: Sept. 5 Hours: 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Sundays to Thursdays, 11 a.m. to 11 p.m.

Fridays and Saturdays Location: Located on South Lee Street in a standalone log cabin building, half a mile away from Buford Highway.

Atmosphere: Bearing a more traditional brickand-mortar front, Zoner’s Pizza, Wings and Waffles welcomes you in with a homely, log cabin feel. The standalone building located on South Lee Street in Buford takes franchisee Terran Nelson back to his days working as a waiter in his father’s soul food restaurant in Charleston, S.C. “I remember growing up as a kid, as long as I could remember, just working and learning the different intricacies of the restaurant business,” Nelson said. “It was second nature to me because I grew up doing it all along.”

He attributes his experience at a young age to leading him to branch and open his own restaurant at the age of 40.

The Zoner’s franchise is spread across nine South and Central Georgia locations, including Macon, Warner Robins and St. Simons, Jacksonville and two locations in Texas.

Nelson, who has been involved in the pizza industry for the past two years, said he bought Zoner’s after the family moved to the area four years ago.

BY ISABEL HUGHES

isabel.hughes @gwinnettdailypost.com

Buford’s 37 Main is celebrating “Rocktober” by hosting hard rock vocalist Sebastian Bach, the original lead singer of the band Skid Row, on Tuesday.

The concert, which is part of Bach’s Home Away From Home Tour, features opening acts Monte Pittman and One Bad Son.

Doors will open at 7 p.m. for those ages 21 and up.

“Sebastian Bach is, without a doubt, an icon in the world of rock ’n’ roll, television and even Broadway,” said Scoley Coley, owner of Scoley Coley Entertainment, the concert’s promoter. “The opportunity to see him in an intimate setting such as 37 Main is quite unique and should not be missed by any fan of the famous frontman.”

The show will be all general admission with standing room at the stage and first-come, first-serve bar seating only. A ticket ensures entry to see the show but does not guarantee a seat.

Advanced tickets can be purchased for $25 on Buford Main’s website, while day-of tickets can be purchased at 37 Main for $35.

Fans who want an even more “up close and personal” experience with

Those packages cost $150 per person and include a meet and greet, individual photo, autographed VIP poster, a commemorative VIP tour laminate and priority entry into the venue. They do not, however, include a ticket for the concert.

Rupert Everett stars as Oscar Wilde in “The Happy Prince.” (Special Photo: Sony Classics)

Rupert Everett is too invested in ‘The Happy Prince’ The Happy Prince (R) 2 out of 4 stars HHHH

By Michael clark Movie Critic

With the possible exception of William Shakespeare, Oscar Wilde was the first literary rock star.

Born into an upper-crust Irish/Italian family, Wilde became fluent in French and German as a child and for the bulk of his life, wanted for nothing. His lone novel, “The Picture of Dorian Gray,” is an acknowledged classic but he’s known principally as a playwright and is likely the most famous person to ever be sentenced to prison simply for being homosexual.

A work of passion for writer/director/leading man Rupert Everett, “The Happy Prince” puts its attention on the last few

years of Wilde’s life; long after his fame and wealth had evaporated. Most of his friends and family had turned their backs on him, and like far too many shooting stars before and after, Wilde flamed out too soon and died a pauper in Paris long before the age of 50.

One of the first entertainers to come out of the closet on his own terms over two decades ago, it’s easy to understand why Everett was drawn to Wilde’s plight, and his dedication is apparent in every frame. The first of several problems is that Everett is too invested in the material. Bearing little resemblance to Wilde and a tad too old to play him on screen, first-time filmmaker Everett should have stayed behind the camera full time and drafted another actor to do the heavy lifting. He’s spread himself

too thin and the final product suffers as a result.

This is not to say the movie is lacking in drama or is without a few high points. One scene in particular in which Wilde and two friends are chased down by a pack of homophobic ruffians is particularly throttling. After a life of hiding, persecution and disenfranchisement, Wilde finally snaps and grows an instant steel backbone while fending off his attackers in a church with sheer will. It is arguably the zenith of a film that otherwise languishes and makes its way from start to finish without clear focus.

Everett’s biggest missteps are his reliance on flashback and an out-ofsequence narrative. Both of these storytelling devices are tricky by themselves but when coupled together are clear signs of confusion and a lack of belief

in the screenplay. The two biggest potential cinematic moments are Wilde’s tenuous relationship with his wife, Constance (a thoroughly underused Emily Watson), and the non-presentation of not one but two trials that ultimately sent Wilde to jail for over two years, which led to his rapid demise.

Not showing up in earnest until the halfway point is Lord Alfred “Bosie” Douglas (Colin Morgan), Wilde’s lover and arguably the one person in his life he loved unconditionally.

Everett the writer accurately presents Douglas as a shallow opportunist who kept his connection with Wilde the celebrity active until the bitter end yet left out the part of Douglas’ life after Wilde died when he suddenly discovered religion, married a woman and publicly decried the man (in the ground and un-

able to defend himself) he once “loved.”

What will rile Wilde purists (which include many in the LGBT community) the most is Everett’s glossing over of the trials that sent him to jail and his years spent in incarceration. If we are to understand or even relate to Wilde’s shaky state of mind after his release, the details — which played out like a “stranger than truth” novel — of his arrest and persecution are required, and Everett’s omission of this huge chunk of history is utterly baffling and quasi-unforgivable.

In giving Everett a huge benefit of the doubt, maybe he perhaps barely mentioned this portion of Wilde’s life as it was already the main plot in the far better but equally abbreviated 1998 “Wilde” starring Stephen Fry as Wilde, Jude Law as Douglas and Jen-

nifer Ehle as Constance. In this film we see Wilde in the “before the fall” mode when he ruled the London social scene and gave us reason to not only understand the why but to also provide the arc Everett’s movie so desperately and frustratingly lacks.

To date, no one has made a feature depicting Wilde from cradle to grave, and no one should ever try. The full life — warts and all — of this complex, troubled and talented man cannot be compressed into a two- or three- or even four-hour theatrical release. Wilde’s life needs the thoughtful, extended treatment and care of a full-blown HBO miniseries lasting at least 10 hours.

That would provide justice to this man’s legacy. “The Happy Prince” arrives with all the best intentions yet fails on almost every level.

FILM FANS REVIEW ‘haLLoween (2018)’

now showinG

Recently reviewed films now playing in metro area theaters.

Ratings are out of 4 stars.

Trouble (r)

HHHH Robi McGarvey, Lawrenceville

tim weekley, suwanee

HHHH Pass: Fairly good casting and acting; very good cinematography; good direction most of the time.

Fail: The plot is one that leaves much to be desired, with an ending that fails to satisfy the excitement that the rising action builds up.

Fail: A very slow start; iffy film editing that will leave the viewer scratching their head; unoriginal plot. That being said, “Halloween (2018)” delivers more treats than tricks in a scare-fest that can be quite engrossing at times.

Jamie Lee Curtis as Laurie Strode had the best performance, to me. She captures the persona of a crazed, paranoid, estranged woman superbly, and I found myself biting my nails for her several times throughout the film.

Fans of the horror genre will enjoy this film most, with its gratuitous violence and horrifying executions. It’s not the scariest horror movie out there, but it will have you gripping your arm-rest a bit tighter than usual. Out of 10 points on the fear meter, I’d give it about a 7.

Pass/FaiL

HHHH

This film is worth seeing in theaters, as the theater screen and sound system will contribute significantly to the suspense, which is a large part of why this movie is decent in the first place.

Overall, this is a good horror film. I don’t think it quite surpasses the original in terms of horror movie standards and general scariness, but it will give you a few heartpounding moments. I would recommend this film to anyone who isn’t quite prepared to scream their head off in the theater but does want a little extra suspense and creativity in their movie-going life. Indeed, “Halloween (2018)” is a unique, captivating horror film.

Its biggest failing is that it simply doesn’t do enough of what horror films are meant to do — scare you.

Angelica Huston (Maggie) and Bill Pullman (Ben) go toe-to-toe in this comedy/drama about siblings arguing over their deceased parents’ estate. Their arguments get — literally — near death as “Trouble” takes several twists and turns.

Flashbacks reveal Maggie and Ben’s childhood relationship as loving and adventurous. David Morse (Gerry, a childhood best friend) joins the cast.

— Alex Tostado

Venom (PG-13)

I would like to say that Jamie Lee Curtis — in reprising her role as Laurie Strode from the original “Halloween” in 1978 — carries the film, and she indeed does a credible job here. However, she gives a mostly one-note performance from top to bottom. Laurie is still so traumatized by the events of years ago that, to her daughter and many in the fictional town of Haddonfield, she’s turned into a paranoid, reclusive nut job that nobody takes seriously. The rest of the cast is adequate but not especially memorable in their respective roles.

HHHH Tom Hardy plays the title role of a classic Spider-Man villain without an actual Spidey to play against. It’s an attempt at a superhero movie without the “hero” part — and the results are as goopy as the CGI monster’s looks, due to a jarring shift in tone from dull horror-lite to humor.

Imagine Fox’s “Deadpool” but played straight. It’s not joyless — just junk food.

— Khari J. Sampson

Horror and suspense enthusiasts will still get a charge out of “Halloween (2018),” as it definitely follows in the footsteps of its 40-yearold parent flick, which practically defined the genre that has become known as “slasher films.” The 2018 version relies much more heavily on outright blood, guts and gore, whereas the 1978 original was more subtle in both its story line and its execution (pun intended).

“Halloween (2018)” is creepy enough to give the average viewer the willies, especially during the second half when it really hits its stride. It would also make a decent rental or download for a dark and stormy night.

I guess it’s asking too much for “Halloween (2018)” to break any new ground, since the whole premise of the original (and its sequels) was to shock the daylights out of its audience by showing extremely grisly killings perpetrated upon unsuspecting victims. I just didn’t get that much sense of outright dread out of this flick, although there is a nice bit of plot twist toward the end.

“Halloween 2018” may not be a horror classic, but if you’re not careful, you may find yourself a bit more suspicious of the trick-or-treaters you encounter at the end of October.

After-school special Timothee Chalamet stars as Nic Sheff and Steve Carell as David Sheff in “Beautiful Boy.” (Special Photo: Amazon Studios)

‘Beautiful Boy’ a depressing, tedious story of addiction Beautiful Boy (R) 2 1/2★★★★ out of 4 stars

BY MICHAEL CLARK Movie Critic

569489-1

Structurally mirroring last week’s “Galveston,” “Beautiful Boy” — sharing its title with a John Lennon song, sung at one point by a cast member — is a depressing and tedious drama that, instead of crime, deals with substance addiction. At times flirting with the overwhelming despair and dead-end dread of “Requiem for a Dream,” “Beautiful Boy” plays out more like an extended, R-rated after-school special that would be a complete waste of time if not for the terrific performances of its

two leads.

It helps that this is a movie based on a nonfiction book by a wellknown writer who has gone through the living hell of dealing with a drug-riddled child and is forced to make tough, lose-lose decisions along the way. While far from “entertaining,” the movie serves as a solid “how-to” guide for parents in the same unenviable boat.

The first English language feature from Belgian director and co-writer Felix Von Groeningen is mucked up from the get-go, thanks to a wildly and completely unneeded, out-of-sequence narrative that is designed to make us feel sorry for an addict who was once was an innocent child dragging his family down. Addicts of

every stripe started out as innocent children, and this one is different?

David Sheff (Steve Carell) is that rare freelance writer (“Playboy,” “Rolling Stone”) who does well enough to live in an oversized home on a large plot of land overlooking the Pacific Ocean. Sheff’s oldest son, Nic (Timothee Chalamet, “Call Me By Your Name,” “Lady Bird”), is bright, artsy, handsome and as privileged as he can be. It’s also clear that Nic has never come across a drug or drink he didn’t like and has no concept of moderation. Nic can only be in stone-cold sober or full three sheets to the wind mode; he knows no middle ground.

For better or worse — mostly the latter — Von

Groeningen is stuck with trying to keep the film interesting while having to regurgitate the same similar scenario over and over and over again. Some people will argue that this is the point of addiction, which could be true, but when on screen, a little of this stuff goes a long way. It doesn’t need to be beaten into the ground in order to make a lasting impression.

For the 22-year-old Chalamet, “Beautiful Boy” is just the first of four features that will be released over the next year, including one with Woody Allen, and it would be safe to label him the most in-demand nonaction male star in the business. In a manner similar to “Call Me” — a sequel for which was just announced — he goes from low to high

to everything in between, often in the same scene. Not since Sean Penn has an actor this young been able to convey such a wide array of emotions with such relative ease. He could easily snare his second consecutive Best Lead Actor Oscar nomination despite the weak material he’s been handed.

In some ways, Carell is given the more difficult acting task, as there are only so many ways grief, frustration, anger and care can be rendered effectively.

The fact that David was awarded full-time custody of Nic tells us something about his dedication and, without spelling it out, makes it clear he became the preferred custodian over his first wife, Vicki (Amy Ryan).

Living in Los Angeles,

Vicki is a major-holidayonly parent, and sometimes even less. David has two younger children with his beyond understanding and patient second wife, artist Karen (Maura Tierney), who is more of a mother to Nic than Vicki — but even she has her limits.

Given the current escalating U.S. opioid addiction, the legalization of marijuana in some states, the overall access of other relatively low-cost drugs (crystal meth, for example), over-spoiled children and sometimes iffy parenting skills, the story of David and Nic might go from being the exception to being the norm. This is a situation that will get worse before it gets better, and this movie only scratches the surface.
