Woman killed in Peachtree Corners; husband arrested

BY CAILIN O’BRIEN

cailin.obrien @gwinnettdailypost.com

A Peachtree Corners man was arrested in Alabama on Saturday after police found his wife dead in an apartment early Saturday morning.

Saul Maisonet, 34, has been charged with felony

murder and aggravated assault in the death of his wife, Tanya Maisonet, 46.

The investigation into Maisonet’s death began before 2 a.m. Saturday when an anonymous call came into Clayton County’s 911 center. They forwarded the call to Gwinnett County 911 once dispatchers realized the incident had a Peachtree

Corners address.

The caller told police there was a dead woman in Apartment B of building 6800 at Lakeside Retreats at Peachtree complex, located on Springs Lane. Then, the caller hung up.

Once officers got inside the apartment, they found Maisonet dead with injuries “consistent with being

stabbed,” Cpl. Benjamin Finney said. He said police believe Maisonet lived in the apartment, though it hasn’t yet been confirmed.

The exact cause of death is still under investigation and Finney said police are working to talk to possible witnesses at the apartment complex, which he said was one of the biggest in the area.

Investigators are also working to figure out the identity of the 911 caller and to figure out why the call came in to Clayton County’s 911 center first. Clayton County is just south of the perimeter, about 40 miles from the crime scene.

Anyone with information to share in this case is encouraged to contact GCPD

detectives at 770-513-5300.

To remain anonymous, tipsters should contact Crime Stoppers at 404-577TIPS (8477) or visit www. crimestoppersatlanta.org.

You can also text your tip to “Crimes” (274637). Crime Stoppers tipsters can receive up to $2,000 for information leading to an arrest and indictment in this case.

New Hope Christian to celebrate 145 years

BY STAN AWTREY

IF YOU GO

Staff Correspondent

New Hope Christian Church in Lawrenceville has always meant a lot to Sandra Thompson. She was married there 60 years ago and serves today as a deacon. The same is true for Harriett Edwards, who joined the church in 1967 because of the friendliness of the congregation and the willingness of the pastor to preach biblical messages.

They are just two of the countless lives that have been impacted by the church, which will celebrate its 145th anniversary on Oct. 15. New Hope, located at 1982 Old Norcross Road, will hold a special homecoming service that day and is making an appeal for former members to come back and visit.

The homecoming will be highlighted by a worship service at 10:30 a.m. that will feature special music.

A former choir director will return to play the baby grand piano and the choir will present special songs. Afterward, a meal will be served in the fellowship hall. Many the families signed up to churn homemade ice cream to be dipped after the meal.

Among those who will be honored are Inez Waters, 101, the oldest member of the church, and Avis Crowe,

81, who has been a member since 1936.

“We’re hoping that a lot of our former members will come back and celebrate with us,” said Thompson. “It will be a good chance to see old friends.”

Friendships and relationships have been a big part of New Hope since it began as a community Sunday School and met under a brush arbor made of oak trees. In those days the congregation gathered in an old cotton house next what is now Oakland Community Cemetery.

Many worshippers are today drawn to the church because of its biblical teachings and the friendliness of the congregation.

“The services we have are from the Bible and we stress that,” Edwards said. “The preaching of the word is the

main thing. The friendliness helps, but you’ve got have a preacher who can explain things out of the Bible and make them clear.”

The women agreed that a highlight each Sunday is when members greet each other during the service with handshakes and hugs.

“That’s one thing visitors mention is what a friendly church this is,” Thompson said. “Most big churches you don’t have that. People don’t know each other. You don’t get that here. If you’re a visitor here, people are going to come up and welcome you and make you feel at home.”

The church itself was established in 1872 and had 26 charter members, some of the buried across the street. A log building was constructed for the church to use and services were held

once a month. The church, part of the Disciples of Christ denomination, built a sanctuary in 1884 — valued at $750 — that remained in use until 1967, when the current building was completed.

A 37-foot steeple was added in 1970.

Sanctuary expansion took place in 1972-73, chimes were installed in the steeple in 1996 and the fellowship hall was constructed in 1997. The sanctuary features wooden ceilings, wooden pews and stained-glass windows that were funded by member donations.

The Rev. Billy G. Reese became the first full-time minister and served from 1967-73. Reese, who grew up in the area, served again from 1981-94, when he died in a car accident. The current pastor is the Rev. James Shelton, who came to the church in 2008.

Patsy Gaffney has served as director of music since 2009. Church member Barry Coker has been the volunteer organist for more than 45 years.

Halstead takes Disney trip five years after accident

BY CAILIN O’BRIEN

cailin.obrien @gwinnettdailypost.com

Tripp Halstead’s parents said the best part of the private plane ride and Walt Disney World vacation they took this week was that their 7-year-old was healthy enough to experience it.

“Just getting here Monday morning was the best part of the trip for me,” Bill Halstead, Tripp’s father, said Friday. “Knowing that he was well enough to go and actually enjoy it.”

The Vinson family, owners of the Kids ‘R’ Kids day care company, first offered the Halstead family a trip to Disney World nearly five years ago, while Tripp was still in the hospital recovering from the accident that forever changed his family’s life. He was 2 years old and playing outside at Cribs to Crayons Daycare in Winder on Oct. 29, 2012, when a tree branch fell on his head.

For a while, the Halstead family wasn’t sure Tripp would live through the extensive brain injuries he sustained. When the Vinsons visited them at Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta and offered the family a trip to Disney World, Tripp’s parents weren’t sure they’d ever be able to take them up on that offer.

“They offered us this wonderful trip, and at the time we didn’t know what his outlook would be,” Bill Halstead said. “We didn’t know anything.”

The Halsteads kept up with the Vinsons as the months and years went by.

But for a long time, Tripp Halstead just wasn’t in a position to take a vacation.

“Over the years, he had so many surgeries, we couldn’t take him where he would enjoy it and it would be a pleasant experience,” Bill Halstead said. “He’s had so many surgeries and

recoveries and ups and downs with his health.”

In the years since Tripp’s accident, he has undergone about 22 surgeries to fix problems his accident and subsequent brain injury have caused. In February 2013, Tripp was regaining his motor skills in rehabilitation when he contracted a bacterial infection from one of his surgeries.

It took him five weeks to fend off the infection, which wiped out most of his progress.

Today, Tripp still lacks motor functions, but he’s come a long way since 2012. He’s a little boy with

on.”

The Vinson family had also booked rooms for Tripp, his parents and his grandparents in Disney’s Contemporary Resort. The theme park’s monorail runs through the Contemporary, making access to the park a little easier for Tripp.

“What we were trying to do was just get their mind off of things,” Pat Vinson said.

Stacy Halstead said the family took advantage of every moment of their gifted vacation, staying in the park from morning until evening. She said Tripp was stable, healthy and obviously happy the whole time.

For most of the vacation, he got to feel like any other kid at the “Happiest Place on Earth.”

“He got to stand in line with his cousins and get on the rides and get off with them,” Stacy Halstead said. “(He seemed to like) just knowing that he was a part of everything and not being left out.”

Tripp smiled almost continuously as his dad carried him off the private plane at Briscoe Field on Friday morning. A Donald Duck hat perched on his head. Bill Halstead and his wife thanked the Vinsons continuously for the vacation they’d finally been able to take.

“The day that we found out (about the trip offer) was amazing,” Bill Halstead said. “But to actually be able to partake in it was an experience we’ll never forget, for sure.”

said she previously worked for publicsector consulting companies.

The Sheryl transition Dallas was bittersweet for Stephens, who has worked with Fuller for years. Before Fuller took over as the county’s human resources director, he was its senior assistance county attorney.

During his time in Gwinnett’s law department, Fuller worked with matters involving the Merit Board, Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and federal labor and employment law cases.

Over the course of a decade before he joined the county, Fuller had dealt with those same issues in private practice, the Daily Post reported at the time of his hiring as human resources director.

“Scott and I have worked closely together in the Law Department and in subsequent roles for Gwinnett County for over 19 years,” Stephens said. “I think

highly of him as an attorney and relied on his expertise during his time as Director of Human Resources. I consider him to be a friend and wish him all the best in his retirement.”

The county administrator said in a statement that Dallas should do well in the position. She comes into the position at a time when Gwinnett is grappling with employee retention issues in multiple departments.

Those retention issues are part of why county commissioners voted to raise Gwinnett’s millage rate earlier this year. Some of the money raised from the property tax increase is expected to be used in some way to address retention issues.

“Although Scott transitioned to lead human resources during an important time, I’m confident that Sheryl has the skills and perspective we need as she moves into this new role,” Stephens said. “Her long tenure in the field of human resources will help us navigate the ever-changing environment of benefits administration, recruitment and retention.”

Gwinnett County is getting a new leader for its human resources department after outgoing Director Scott Fuller informed county officials that he planned to retire.

County Administrator Glenn Stephens has picked Deputy Human Resources Director Sheryl Dallas to replace Fuller at the head of the department. Fuller became the department’s director in May 2014, and Dallas joined him as the deputy director of human resources two years ago.

The change in leadership went into effect Friday.

“I’m looking forward to new challenges leading

Vaccine for shingles likely the right call Dear Dr. roaCH: I am a female and 66 years of age. I had a varicella zoster blood test a couple of years ago to see if I had ever had chickenpox, because I had concerns about getting the shingles shot. (I had my first-ever flu shot quite a few years ago, and am convinced that I reacted badly, coming down with a severe case of the flu within a couple hours of the shot.) I know that it is said that you do not get the flu from the flu shot, but this reaction made me question getting the shingles shot.

My blood test showed that my antibodies (IGG) are 2,279. My dermatologist called me with the results and said, “Yes! You definitely had the chickenpox, big time.” I understand that normal count of antibodies would be around 135 to 165. He actually questioned whether I have enough protection that I might not need the shingles shot. But he said he wasn’t sure how to weigh in on this one. He suggested I call the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, but I thought I’d ask your opinion.

— D.T. ansWer: I wouldn’t test a person in your situation for antibody levels.

Whether or not you had been exposed to chickenpox, I still would recommend a shingles vaccine, which is what the current guidelines recommend.

However, now that you have the result, it isn’t clear from the CDC guidelines what you should do. My recommendation is that you still get the vaccine.

The reason is that antibody levels are representative of the part of the immune system called “humoral.”

This part of the immune system is critical for bacterial infections, and it is led by the antibody-producing B cells. For viral infections like varicella zoster, it’s the cellular immune system that is critical. This is led by T cells. A high antibody titer, a measure of concentration, like yours may not predict a strong cellular immunity.

Furthermore, the downside of getting a shingles vaccine is small: It is not very expensive, and the risk of serious side effects is very small. I don’t think that the high antibody level you have will make it more likely that you will have a side effect.

The injectable flu vaccine contains no live flu virus. It isn’t possible to get flu from a shot. Some people do get a reaction of low-grade fever and muscle aches, which rarely lasts more than a day or two: That’s the most likely explanation in your case. Of course, you may have had very bad timing and were coming down with the flu right when you got the shot, but the timing makes me doubt that degree of coincidence. Nonetheless, flu shots save lives.

Know-it-all brother doesn’t know relationships Dear amy: My brother has always been difficult to deal with. He thinks he knows everything about everything. I have always overlooked his faults and helped him out. He has been divorced twice and only knows one of his three children.

He has been fired from numerous jobs and has lost countless friends and girlfriends because of his know-it-all attitude.

Recently on a trip to our family home upstate, our mother asked him to move to the end of our deck to smoke his cigarette. The smoke bothers me, and my mother has COPD. He refused, saying, “… get used to it.”

I couldn’t believe he wouldn’t move 15 feet away. He began screaming at me and cursing.

I responded by saying that if he continued this behavior, he would be a very lonely person.

I haven’t spoken to my brother since, but somehow my mother is angry with me for confronting him.

My mother always sides with my brother. He helps her out, and I am also constantly there for her, but she feels sorry for him and continues to make excuses for his behavior.

I refuse to go to our upstate home if he is there and will not refrain from smoking in my presence.

Am I being unreasonable, or is this simply another case of my brother

Ask Amy

Amy Dickinson asserting control?

I need an impartial opinion.

— Upset Sister Dear Upset: Your mother is defensive about this dynamic because she is an important part of the dynamic. Your brother could not behave this way without her assent.

She helped to create this smoke-spewing Godzilla, and now she will baby him, even at her own expense.

Regarding keeping your distance, you should do what you want to do.

What you should NOT do is make heavy pronouncements. Don’t announce that you will no longer spend time at your family’s upstate home if your brother is there. Decide on a case-by-case basis what you want to do, and always build in an escape hatch so that the consequences are proportional, immediate and in your control. For instance, your brother lights up.

You ask him to move a few feet away. He refuses.

You say, “Well, then, I’m going to have to say goodbye. See you soon, Mom. I’ll be in touch.”

Dear amy: I’m at a crossroads. I sincerely love my husband but am not sure I can continue to be with him.

A few months ago I asked him to go to therapy, and he said he would.

He wants me to do the legwork for him because he is way too busy and important (sarcasm intended) to do the legwork himself.

I’m an enabler, and he has addiction issues.

I’ve been in therapy for a number of months and have been working through my own issues, including getting a backbone.

I’m so very tired of the ups and downs of addiction. I never know when he will fall off the wagon.

A few months ago, he stole some of our son’s ADHD medication (he has done this before).

I’m ready to leave him over this. He just doesn’t seem to understand how serious this is. Should I do the legwork for him or should he look into a therapist on his own?

— Wondering Dear WonDering: You might start by inviting your husband to attend a therapy session with you. You already have a therapist, and the “legwork,” so to speak, has already been done.

Or you could ask your therapist for a referral, write the number down on a Post-it note and hand it to your husband.

Consider this as legwork, completed.

Otherwise, you need to understand that you can lead a man to therapy, but you can’t make him heal. Forcing therapy on someone removes the most important element in the therapeutic process, which is an individual’s own desire for insight and change.

Work on yourself. In addition to your individual work, you should also attend a “friends and family” addiction support group. Al-anon (alanon. org) meetings could help you to understand the difference between enabling and detachment.

Dear amy: I really identified with “Up to Here with Gifts,” whose kids are overwhelmed with gifts at Christmastime. We had the same issue, and so we initiated a family gift exchange where people drew names from a hat and concentrated on that person.

— Happy with Less Dear Happy: My family did this, too; it worked out well. Some children have multiple sets of grandparents, and that’s when things can get crazy.

world&nation NatION Shooting victim’s family: Authorities need to seize the assets of Paddock

Hurricane Nate lashes Louisiana

By Joe sterling, nicole chaVez and Michelle KruPa CNN

The family of one of the 58 people killed in last weekend’s massacre of concertgoers in Las Vegas is asking a Nevada court to appoint a special administrator to take control of the shooter’s assets as authorities try to determine the killer’s motive.

Attorneys for the family of John Phippen, a 56-yearold Californian who was killed as Stephen Paddock shot into crowds at the Route 91 Harvest Festival from his hotel across the street, filed the petition Friday in District Court in Clark County.

Paddock, a gambler and retired accountant, owned a home in Mesquite, Nev., and his brother has said he was a successful real estate investor who owned apartments and houses. Sales agents told CNN that Paddock paid $369,022 in cash for his Mesquite home in 2014.

The outer bands of Hurricane Nate reached the Louisiana coast early Saturday afternoon, with the fast-moving system expected to make landfall as a Category 2 storm late in the evening southeast of New Orleans, the National Hurricane Center and CNN meteorologists said.

Wind and rain from Nate pounded Grand Isle and Port Sulphur, La., as the storm, with sustained winds of 90 miles per hour, sprinted toward land at 26 mph. It was still a Category 1 storm at 11 a.m., when the hurricane center issued its most recent advisory.

Louisiana Gov. John Bel Edwards encouraged residents to prepare for Nate as if it were a much stronger storm.

tions were altered as it sped up.

Hurricane warnings were in effect in New Orleans, including Lake Pontchartrain, and from Grand Isle, La., east to the Alabama-Florida border. A storm surge warning was in place from Morgan City, La., to the Okaloosa-Walton county line in Florida, and along the northern and western shores of Lake Pontchartrain. And a tropical storm warning had been extended east to Indian Pass, on the Florida Panhandle.

Evacuation orders were in place outside levees in New Orleans and Plaquemines Parish, and along the Mississippi, Alabama and Florida coasts. President Trump on Friday declared

an emergency in Louisiana ahead of Nate and ordered federal assistance.

The storm’s reach will be wide, CNN meteorologist Chad Myers said, with strong winds affecting population centers from New Orleans to Panama City, Fla. Biloxi, Miss., could experience gusts of 100 mph.

Nate was expected to knock down power lines and trees from Lake Charles, La., to the Florida Panhandle and possibly leave at least 1 million people without electricity.

“Preparations to protect life and property should be rushed to completion in these areas, as tropical storm conditions will first arrive in the warning area

this afternoon,” the hurricane center said Saturday morning.

Tornadoes could form beginning late Saturday afternoon over parts of the central Gulf Coast, the hurricane center said.

Nate could drop 3 to 6 inches of rain, with 10 inches possible in some areas, from the central Gulf Coast north across the Deep South, the eastern Tennessee Valley and the southern Appalachians through Monday, the hurricane center said. Flash flooding is a danger.

“Once it hits land, it looks like it’s going to be very quick to move out of the area and then weaken,” CNN meteorologist Jennifer Varian said.

PeOPLe Country artists take stand on gun debate following Vegas massacre

There has been an outpouring of support for the victims of the Las Vegas massacre from the country music world, but as a debate over gun culture again touches the country music community and beyond, so far, most artists have avoided talking politics or directly addressing the gun debate.

“Over the last 24 hrs I have gone through lots of emotions. Fear, Anger, Heartache, Compassion and many others. I truly dont understand why a person would want to take the life of another,” Jason Aldean, who was on stage when the shooting began, wrote on Instagram. “… At the end of the day we arent Democrats or Republicans, Whites or Blacks, Men or Women. We are all humans and we are all Americans and its time to start acting like it and stand together as ONE! … Time to come together and stop the hate!”

But amid the calls for unity, a few strong reactions that stand out: In a passionate statement shared on social media Monday, Caleb Keeter, a guitarist for the Josh Abbott Band, which performed at the 91 Harvest Music Festival said that he had a change of heart on guns.

“I’ve been a proponent of the 2nd Amendment my entire life,” he wrote. “Until the event of last night. I cannot express how wrong I was.”

And on Friday, Sheryl Crow slammed “irresponsible” lawmakers for not passing legislation banning semi-automatic weapons.

“I think we have to do something about gun laws, just unequivocally,” Crow told TMZ. “If we don’t, our government should be fired.

It’s just irresponsible.”

Weinstein’s future at Weinstein Co. still uncertain

Harvey Weinstein’s future at the film company he helped found is in question, following a New York Times report published Thursday that detailed numerous incidents of alleged sexual harassment.

In a statement Friday, the board of the Weinstein Co. said, “We strongly endorse Harvey Weinstein’s alreadyannounced decision to take an indefinite leave of absence from the Company, commencing today.”

The board said his return depends on his “therapeutic progress,” the outcome of an independent investigation and “Harvey’s own personal decisions.”

Bob Weinstein, Harvey Weinstein’s brother and the company’s co-founder, and COO David Glasser will run the company in Harvey Weinstein’s absence.

“We take extremely seriously the accusations published in yesterday’s New York Times about our Company’s co-chairman Harvey Weinstein,” the company’s board said in a statement.

“It is essential to our Company’s culture that all women who work for it or have any dealings with it ... have no experience of harassment or discrimination.”

General Motors unveils futuristic self-driving army truck

By Peter Valdes-daPena CNN

General Motors has revealed a futuristic-looking hydrogenpowered self-driving army truck.

This concept vehicle is essentially a giant self-driving platform that can hold any kind of vehicle body — or even just cargo.

Something like this could be useful in disaster zones or

Must ReaD in conflicts, the automaker said. That’s why the truck will be displayed at a meeting of the Association of the United States Army next week.

The Silent Utility Rover Universal Superstructure can be used with a cab attached to house a driver, or it can be used as simply platform to

carry cargo on its own. A line of these trucks could, for instance, follow behind one with a human driver.

The truck is powered by hydrogen fuel cells that combine hydrogen gas with oxygen from the atmosphere to generate electricity. On-board tanks can store enough compressed hydrogen to drive 400 miles.

GM has been working on hydrogen fuel cell projects with the military for many

years. Earlier this year, the U.S. military began testing a hydrogen-powered GM pickup called the ZH2 . And last year, the Navy began testing a GMproduced hydrogen-powered unmanned submarine.

Hydrogen power is particularly well-suited for military use, according to GM, because fuel cells produce very little heat. That makes them harder for enemies to detect. Additionally, hydrogen can be

produced in the field from a number of different sources, which means that fuel for the vehicles won’t always have to be transported to the vehicles.

GM designers have also experimented with the idea of interchangeable bodies in the past. Fifteen years ago, GM unveiled a hydrogen-powered concept car called the AUTOnomy, which had interchangeable bodies that rode on a flat platform.

Beldon is one of about 400 patients undergoing breast cancer treatment at Gwinnett Medical Center, which hosts the event.

Funds raised from the 5K will benefit breast cancer patients at GMC who can’t afford screening services, comfort items such as wigs and access to diagnostic technology.

During her own treatment, Beldon has kept a positive outlook in what can be a stressful time for anyone in her position.

“It’s been fine,” she said.

“The first chemo was a little rough, but I’m nearly done, and then I’ll have surgery and then radiology.”

Her last chemo treatment gave her good reason to stay home, but Beldon felt she had a better reason to come out to support the event.

“Just coming out here to support everybody and give them knowledge about breast cancer,” she said.

The support for the event has exceeded expectations.

This year, GMC has already raised over $125,000 with donations still coming in, surpassing a goal of $100,000.

Jennifer Griffin, GMC’s oncology community outreach navigator, initially proposed the event to her director last year and heads the committee that works year-round to plan it.

“It’s pretty much a fulltime job,” Griffin said. “It takes us about eight to 10 months to get everything coordinated.”

She proposed the event because she felt Gwinnett County didn’t have a fundraising event geared toward the people in the community.

“I went to my director last year and said we needed to bring a walk to Gwinnett, because every year we go to Atlanta and

Fulton County,” Beldon said. “But we needed to be in Gwinnett because we have enough people in our community, and we needed to support our own community. And little did I know he was going to say yes.”

For last year’s event, the committee set an attendance goal of 250 people and ended up quadrupling that. This year, thousands more ignored the early showers to support a good cause.

Saturday’s festivities included a local vendor area inside the Coolray Field concourse, a party with a DJ, the Atlanta Dream Corvette Show, a survivor fashion show and a silent auction.

When showers subsided shortly before the race, it made for near ideal conditions for runners.

Kelli Ranson, 27, finished 22nd overall and first in the 25-29 women’s age group with a time of 25:01.

“The rain just made it more interesting, it makes it fun,” she said.

Runners and walkers began the race in the stadium

parking lot as supporters cheered them on and then concluded the race near the third base line on the field as the Discovery High School marching band played on the field.

Clyde Strickland, owner of Metro Waterproofing Inc., served as a title sponsor of the event for the second year. For the Stricklands, the battle with breast cancer hits close to home.

His wife, Chandra, is a longtime cancer survivor.

“The reason we sponsored is that in 1972, the same year Metro was founded, I was diagnosed with my first cancer, and now I’m a 45-year cancer survivor,” Chandra Strickland said. “We like being in the community and being able to help raise money for patients in the hospital.”

Supporters weren’t limited to family, friends and businesses.

Dr. Kevin Peacock, medical director of the Gwinnett Breast Program at GMC, joined the 5K with his family to support several of his patients.

He said events like the 5K can really boost pa-

tients’ morale when they’re able to interact with cancer survivors.

“Tremendous, it’s absolutely tremendous,” Peacock said. “Patients, when they are diagnosed with breast cancer, they’re scared. It’s a natural feeling to be scared and unsure of what’s going to happen.

“To get on the other side of it, to be a survivor, to likely be cured, it’s a very exciting, very liberating experience. There is such joy. People want to share that with other survivors and that’s why you see such excitement and such enthusiasm because people love celebrating that event.”

While breast cancer rates are still high — over 200,000 women will be diagnosed with the disease in 2017 — the rate of breast cancer deaths in the U.S. has dropped 39 percent between 1989 and 2015, according to the American Cancer Society.

“Things have revolutionized over the past few years, and the rate of deaths have dropped because the treatments have improved,” Peacock said.

shown in the plan. The conceptual layout also shows there could be spaces for new townhomes, a restaurant, some retail space and a multi-level residential structure, but Lawrenceville officials did not mention any of those amenities in their announcement.

Demolition of vacant properties in the corridors path is expected to take about one year depending on weather conditions.

Once those buildings are torn down, Georgia Development Partners will be able to begin construction work, city officials said.

“Lawrenceville continues to bring together art and education,” City Manager Chuck Warbington said in a statement.

“Through infrastructure connection projects like this one as well as the two-way conversion of Perry and Clayton streets already happening in the downtown area, we are building a more connected environment that attracts private investment, builds a stronger City and supports Gwinnett’s vision for an inclusive, diverse and vibrant metro Atlanta community.”

One by one, Lawrenceville resident Frank “The Tank” Durst stuffed 10 bratwursts into his mouth, chewed and swallowed in just under five minutes in front of a cheering crowd Saturday.

“They were pretty tasty,” Durst said, almost nonchalantly, after he swallowed his last mouthful.

Durst faced down nine competitors to become the champion of the brateating competition at Lawrenceville’s second annual Oktoberfest on Saturday. It was just one intense five-minute event in an afternoon full of brats, beer and fun on the Lawrenceville square.

“We basically created a festival that we would want to attend in Lawrenceville and then hoped that everybody else would enjoy it,” Chris Collins said.

Collins is a co-owner of Local Republic, which hosts Oktoberfest alongside the city and McCray’s Tavern. He and co-owner Ben Bailey both showed up to the square on Saturday wearing traditional lederhosen.

It wasn’t the ideal wardrobe choice for a day outside in Georgia.

“To be honest, it’s a little warm to be wearing lamb skin,” Collins said.

But it was the only outfit that wouldn’t clash with the blend of authentic German Oktoberfests and local pizzazz that created that festival its creators would want to attend.

It worked last year, when thousands of residents crowded onto the square to enjoy the city’s first Oktoberfest. And, according to Lawrenceville resident Tia Maiella, it was working this year, too.

Maiella and her husband had only recently moved to Lawrenceville from New York City.

They’d stumbled upon the city’s Oktoberfest and spent most of the afternoon playing giant Jenga under one of the several tents set up on Perry Street.

“It’s great to find a town that does something fun for everybody else,” Maiella said.

She said her favorite part of the afternoon had been listening to local

band Jacob and the Good People.

“Oh, and the beer,” she said.

Collins said the organizers couldn’t skimp on their beer seelctions for Lawrenceville’s Oktoberfest.

“Oktoberfest is a great traditional German beer festival,” he said. “One of the fathers of modernday beer is Germany.”

To honor that heritage, the festival kept Spaten beer on tap.

“That’s the traditional beer of Oktoberfest in Germany,” Collins said.

Oktoberfest patrons could also sip on beer from Southern Brewing Company in Athens, a choice that gave Lawrenceville’s Oktoberfest local flair.

But it wasn’t all about the brews. Maureen Kallasta, a local teacher, said she was surprised how family friendly the city’s Oktoberfest was compared to others she’s attended.

“All my nieces and nephews are over there playing,” she said.

Besides beer, Saturday’s festival offered face painting and games for kids. Vendors set up tents and sold trinkets while Local Republic and Strange Taco Bar served up brats and ladeled out queso.

Kallasta arrived Saturday dressed in an Oktoberfest costume complete with a flouncy skirt and fake milk-maid braids.

But the getup didn’t stop her from joining her nieces and nephews as they tossed and kicked footballs into blowup end zones.

It also didn’t stop her from joining the brateating contest along with last year’s champion, Grayson resident Mike Fromme, and Durst. At first, Durst didn’t want to join the challenge. He’d just come for the beer and the fun.

“She made me do it,” he said, gesturing toward his wife, Karey Durst.

It was unclear how Durst felt about his victory immediately afterward.

“I’m very full,” he said.

But for his wife, it was the highlight of the afternoon.

“He just loves brats,” she said. “I’m a very proud wife right now.”

Bicentennial kickoff gala almost sold out September tax revenue

up 3.1 percent for state

By Curt yeomans

curt.yeomans @gwinnettdailypost.com

A celebration of something old may become one of the hardest tickets to come by in Gwinnett County in the next few weeks.

The Gwinnett Historical Society had made 200 tickets available for the A Frontier Affair: Prelude to Gwinnett’s Bicentennial gala that will be held Dec. 15 — Gwinnett’s 199th birthday — at the Gwinnett County Historic Courthouse in Lawrenceville. It will serve as a kickoff to the county’s yearlong bicentennial celebration.

The event is still two months away, but the historic society’s co-president, Betty Warbington, said this past week that most of the tickets for the gala have already been sold. About 30 tickets remained unsold as of Thursday, she said.

“It’s an exciting event to kick off the celebrations for our 200th anniversary,” Warbington said.

The event will feature state Rep. Brooks Coleman, R-Duluth, as its

From staFF reports Georgia’s net tax collections for September were up 3.1 percent compared to a year ago, Gov. Nathan Deal’s office said Friday.

The state collected nearly $2.08 billion, an increase of about $62 million from September 2016. Deal’s office said year-to-date net tax revenue collections of $5.48 billion are up by 3.2 percent, or $171.5 million, compared to this time last year.

Individual income tax collections totaled $1.05 billion, which is an increase of $36.7 million, or 3.6 percent, from a year ago.

obituaries FORSYTH

William Anderson William Samuel Anderson, 77, went home to be with our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ on the morning of October 5, 2017 after bravely fighting Parkinson’s disease for 19 years. Sam was born at home in Forsyth County, Georgia.

Sam was preceded in death by his parents, Robert (JW) Anderson and Jessie Staton Anderson, a nephew, Randy Coddington, and brother-in-law, Don Coddington.

Sam is survived by his wife of 55 years, Sheila Anderson, his son David Anderson and wife Tina, his daughter Donna Miller, his sisters Joan Coddington, Janet McDowell, Jane Corley and husband Dallas, his brother, Gene Anderson and wife Teresa, his grandchildren, Allan Meredith, Ryan Anderson, Travis Anderson, and Jessica Anderson, and numerous Nieces and Nephews.

Sam served in the United States Air Force from 1958 till 1995, attaining the rank of Chief Master Sergeant.

Sam started going to church as a young boy in Duluth, Georgia and he often talked about the youth groups that he was part of. He loved the Lord and wanted to tell everyone exactly who his higher power was. He loved First Baptist Church in Bastrop, Texas and he was especially proud of the groups he started there.

Twelve steps for Christians was especially one of the classes he liked. He enjoyed going on car trips with his wife, his kids, the dog, and a tent. He would throw a tablecloth on the hood of our station wagon and we had the best potted meat sandwiches and pork and beans. That was our picnic. We later started using cabins. He loved the woods and the pine trees. They were the same loblolly Pine trees that grew in Georgia. He raised rabbits as a young boy and even carried that over into adulthood. He later got a dog named Maggie whom he was very fond of.

He started getting interested in Genealogy and really enjoyed it. A lot of people (kin) in Georgia would invite him to their house to talk about it and feed him lunch and bake him a cake.

Elisha Winn Fair puts Gwinnett history on display

BY CAILIN O’BRIEN

cailin.obrien @gwinnettdailypost.com

Trevor Hutchins couldn’t get over the old Walnut Grove one-room schoolhouse he toured at the Elisha Winn Fair on Saturday.

“They don’t have bathrooms, so they had to go outside,” the 8-year-old said. “And if they wanted water, they had to use this little scoop thing. They did it and then put it back in. They used the same one without washing it.”

Hutchins’ sudden fascination with local history was the point of the fair, which started Saturday and continues today at the Elisha Winn House property in Dacula. Gwinnett Historical Society CoPresident Beverly Paff said she hoped people left the fair with an understanding that “history actually happened here.”

“Those kids (touring the schoolhouse) who were excited, it was really opening up for them that it did (happen here),” Paff said.

It’s not hard to have a realization about Gwinnett’s connection to the past on the grounds of the Elisha Winn House on a normal day. The actual house is 205 years old and is believed to be the oldest existing building in Gwinnett County. It was built just before the

The schoolhouse wasn’t originally built on the Elisha Winn house’s grounds. It was moved there from its original location on what is now Ga. Highway 124 near the Methodist Campgrounds, where it served as a school for kids through seventh grade from 1875-1911.

Hutchins couldn’t stop talking about the fact that the school had no electric lights. He couldn’t get over the small benches where students his age once sat. It was completely fascinating to him.

Paff understood Hutchins’ feelings. It’s why she said she enjoyed the Elisha Winn Fair each year.

“It’s just history right in your face,” she said.

Defining evil in this culture

Responding to the recent Las Vegas concert shooting that killed more than 50 people and injured hundreds more, President Trump described the act as one “of pure evil.”

One definition of “evil” sounds so inadequate in today’s culture: “morally wrong or bad; immoral; wicked: evil deeds, an evil life.”

As the Supreme Court wrestled with a 1964 obscenity case, Justice Potter Stewart struggled to define obscenity and finally settled on his oft-quoted statement, “I know it when I see it.”

That seems to be the preferred attitude about evil today. Many of us can’t fully define it, but we certainly know it when we see it.

On a Cal visit to Las Thomas Vegas, I was handed a flyer on the street advertising prostitutes. All I had to do, the flyer said, was call a number. A vehicle would even transport me to the rendezvous point, presumably for an extra charge.

Is this objectively evil? Who gets to decide?

On the nightly news and in nearly every Hollywood film, there are graphic scenes showing spattered blood and bodies strewn about. Bigcity news broadcasts often lead with the latest shootings and body count.

Do such things desensitize us to the value of human life? Where does that value come from? We’ve come a long way from Hollywood’s “Golden Age” and from TV’s “Leave it to Beaver” and “Uncle Miltie.” Has this been progress or regress? Does that regression promote evil or is much of modern entertainment evil in and of itself?

If you are having difficulty deciding, you may have become inured to the shift in morality and fallen victim to the zeitgeist, “the spirit of the age.”

Stephen Paddock, 64, of Mesquite, Nevada, identified by police as the Las Vegas shooter, did not look evil. Except for one citation by law enforcement, he was leading a normal life. He had no criminal record. His brother and mother said they were shocked and don’t know what got into him.

Theology and mythology speak of a demonic world beyond our vision and understanding. Cold-blooded killers have been interviewed by psychologists and writers like Truman Capote to determine why they committed their evil acts. Some of these killers came from poverty, but the majority of poor people don’t kill. Some of these killers came from abusive homes, but most abused children don’t grow up to become mass murderers.

As with previous mass shootings, there will be the predictable calls for “gun control.” It is legitimate to ask whether Paddock cleared a background check and bought his guns legally. There is no law, however, that can prevent someone from committing evil acts. If there were, wouldn’t we have passed it by now?

Evil co-exists with the good. Each individual must choose which one to embrace or push away. For some, embracing good comes naturally. For others, the pushing away of evil is a lifetime struggle. Perhaps Stephen Paddock embraced evil just this once, or maybe it was waiting to ambush him just as surely as he ambushed those innocent people 32 floors below his hotel window.

Celebrating national newspaper week This may come under the heading of home cooking, but this week has been National Newspaper Week, something we should both be celebrating.

Me, because I get a chance every week to tell you what’s on my mind and you, because you can tell me whether or not you agree. It is the newspaper that makes it possible. Don’t try this in Iran.

I backed into this gig almost 20 years ago when I wrote a guest column after the Centennial Olympic Games of 1996 about how totally unprepared the blowhards in the city of Atlanta were for this worldclass event. I was a managing director of the Atlanta Committee for the Olympic Games and saw the city’s ineptness up close and personal. I spared no adjective in letting readers know what I thought of the city’s performance, or lack thereof.

That column caused quite a stir nationally and led to more opportunities to voice my opinions and more outlets in which to do so. Several years ago, I was told that my words reach more than a half-million households weekly in Georgia.

I will take their word for it, but the only household that really matters to me is yours.

Not that we always see eyeto-eye. Strong opinions beget

cusations currently being hurled around about the news media.

I find it ironic that people will ascribe all sorts of sinister motives to the news media but will take unsubstantiated garbage on the internet as gospel. You should see some of my mail.

I have perhaps a unique Dick perspective on the news media.

Unlike the anonymous souls in the big city papers who live in a cocoon — remind me to tell you sometime about the New York Times editor who thought contestants in the Olympic whitewater rafting competition were going to use inner tubes, I kid you not — you know who we are, how to find us and are inclined to give us instant feedback on our performance. That’s not a bad thing.

In my days in the corporate world, no matter how well I thought I had performed my duties on behalf of my company and our customers on any given day, my boss would always say, “Just remember that you run for re-election every day.”

I never forgot that admonition. I have written some 1,500 columns since that first screed in 1998, but I know I still run for re-election daily. While I don’t take myself seriously, I take this privilege to correspond with you very seriously.

The real news is that none of this could happen without the newspaper. That is why I am celebrating National Newspaper Week and hope you do, too.

Amid tragedy, the goodness of people prevails I was in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea, on a cruise ship, about to walk into a conference room to give a lecture. My friend called me aside and said, “There has been a shooting in Las Vegas, at a music festival. Multiple deaths.

Maybe as many as 20.”

I didn’t want to know more.

Not then. I had a job to do and didn’t want to have my attention divided while I was trying to do it.

As soon as my lecture was over I hurried to my stateroom and turned on the news. My heart broke.

In the 70 minutes that passed between hearing the first report and seeing it for myself, the death toll had increased to 50 — and was still climbing. More than 500 people wounded.

Jason Aldean was on stage when the carnage began. Jason Aldean, for goodness sakes.

It was hard to believe what I was seeing, except that it wasn’t. We had seen it before — in California, in Colorado, in Connecticut, in Orlando … the list goes on and on.

Within the first 24 hours we knew virtually nothing about the motives of the deranged evil person who somehow transported an arsenal of modified automatic weapons to the 32nd floor of a Vegas hotel and opened fire on 22,000 gathered

his best to destroy that faith.

I saw reports of a young man who threw his body over that of his beautiful wife, sacrificing his life to save hers. I saw an interview with a woman who was not injured herself but who had taken six wounded strangers to a local hospital. I saw a Darrell Huckaby shirtless young man who was covered with blood who had given aid to half a dozen vicbelow to celebrate and enjoy tims and used his own clothing being alive. And then suddenly, to cover up the bodies of many many of them weren’t. others — trying to provide I couldn’t take my eyes off them with a touch of dignity in the television screen — even death. as I was sailing through the These people were white paradise that is the Greek isles. and black and Hispanic and I wanted to know who was re- didn’t give a second’s thought sponsible for this carnage, and to the race, religion or political I wanted to know why.

I saw really happened—the ugly story after story after story that monster that is partisan politics strengthened my faith in the raised its head and began to try goodness of our people, even as to make political gain out of the deranged shooter had done this horrific tragedy. What did

Democrats say after the shooting at Sandy Hook? “Never let a disaster go to waste.”

The usual suspects, Elizabeth Warren, Nancy Pelosi, Bernie Sanders, Hillary Clinton and even a CBS vice-president had attacked the president and the NRA and everybody, it seemed, from Samuel Colt to John Wayne.

“I feel no sympathy because most country music fans are probably Republicans.”

Really? That is a so-called journalist’s response to the worst mass shooting in United States history?

“Imagine the deaths if the shooter had a silencer, which the NRA wants to make easier to get.”

What ignorance. Could Clinton’s statement have been more irrelevant to the situation?

In Paris, after the massacre in Las Vegas, the Eiffel Tower was darkened in deference to our loss. In Tel Aviv, the City Hall was bathed in red, white and blue light to show solidarity with America. In our own country, politicians jumped on the horrific attack as a way to make political hay.

Pogo the possum was right.

We have met the enemy and he is us. God help America.

THUNDERING HERD

Brookwood rumbles to 63-0 win, abruptly ends Meadowcreek’s win streak

By DaviD FrieDlanDer

david.friedlander@ gwinnettdailypost.com

NORCROSS — Long before the unprecedented 6-0 start to the football season, Meadowcreek coach Jason Carrera had tried to prepare his team for the dramatically different world it was entering with traditional power Brookwood coming to Meadowcreek Community Stadium.

But even his many words of warning probably couldn’t have prepared the Mustangs for how hard reality, and the Broncos, hit them.

Dante Black ran for 158

yards and two touchdowns, while Matthew Hill had three receptions for 101 yards and two scores and the Brookwood defense bottled up Chauncey Williams and the Mustangs’ running game to run away for a 63-0 win Friday night.

The Broncos (4-2, 2-0) were brutally physical on the night, rolling up 399 yards of total offense while holding Meadowcreek to just 79, including only 56 on 26 carries for Williams, the state’s rushing leader.

The combination not only brought the Mustangs’ dream winning streak to open the season to an abrupt end, but sent a message to the rest of the Region 7-AAAAAAA. “I want to start off by saying that I can’t say enough good things about Coach Carrera and everything he’s done with his program,” Brookwood coach Philip Jones said. “It is truly ex-

ceptional what he’s done (at Meadowcreek). He’s built this thing from the ground up and gotten his kids believing and his kids playing hard.

“I also can’t say enough about our guys. I just told them I’m as proud of their preparation and mentality as a football team right now, the maturity they approached this game with, than anything else. They didn’t take anything for granted.”

The game couldn’t have started off any worse for Meadowcreek (6-1, 2-1), with a shotgun snap bouncing away from quarterback

Winder-Barrow edges Lanier to stay unbeaten

By Will Hammock

WINDER-BARROW 24, LANIER 21

will.hammock@ gwinnettdailypost.com

SUGAR HILL — A furious rally in the closing seconds gave Lanier’s football team two field goal attempts to force overtime Friday night.

The first from 42 yards sailed wide left, but a Winder-Barrow player was offsides.

The second, a 37-yarder, was blocked by a wall of charging Bulldoggs as time expired, ending what would have been an improbable comeback by the hosts.

Instead, ninth-ranked Winder-Barrow held on and remained unbeaten with a 24-21 victory over Lanier in the Region 8-AAAAAA showdown.

“There’s no quit in our guys,” Lanier head coach Korey Mobbs said. “It’s kind of been our deal that we’ve found a way (to win) a lot of times when maybe we haven’t played our best.

Tonight was definitely that night but hats off to (Winder-Barrow). That’s a good football team. I told our guys if you play a good football team you and turn the ball over and miss a field goal, they’re going to beat you. And that’s what happened.”

Lanier (3-3, 0-1) nearly overcame all its missed opportunities thanks to a crazy finish.

Down 24-14, the Longhorns took over with 1:03 left and no timeouts. Three completions from Zach Calzada to Mekal Fuller, followed by two runs from Calzada, the latter a 1-yard TD run after his 17-yard scramble, had the hosts within three points with 12 seconds remaining.

Lanier’s Isaiah Smith recovered the ensuing onside kick and a Winder-Barrow personal foul on the play moved the ball to the Bulldoggs’ 35-yard line.

Calzada (15-of-24 pass-

ing for 194 yards) hit Chris Lockett for a quick 11-yard strike on the sideline to set up a field goal.

Those two attempts failed, but Lanier could have avoided that situation with some cleaner play in the first half.

“The first half was missed opportunity after missed opportunity,” Mobbs said. “We ran the heck out of the ball. Really the difference in the game was we turned the ball over twice (in the first half) and one of those turnovers

gave them six points. And we missed a field goal (in the first half). It was a game for the ages, but we weren’t on the good end of it.”

Lanier dominated all but the last two minutes of the first half, but trailed 14-7 at halftime because of a series of mistakes. It had 209 first-half yards to WinderBarrow’s 102, but fell apart in the closing moments.

quarter put the Longhorns up 7-0, but they failed to add to the lead with the avalanche of miscues.

One penalty negated a 50-yard run by Kevonte Polk. Lanier missed a 28yard field goal. It lost a fumble deep in Winder-

Barrow territory. It reached the Bulldoggs’ 20-yard line on another possession only to give up a sack, take a delay of game penalty and surrender another sack to fall out of field goal range.

Winder-Barrow (7-0, 2-0) then hit a 52-yard TD pass from Brock Landis to Lamonta Mack with 1:44 left in the half to tie the score.

Lanier kept its momentum going and reached midfield, but Calzada was intercepted by Kenny Kemp, who raced 55 yards for the touchdown with 24 seconds left in the first half.

“I thought we played well in the first half and somehow we were down 14-7,” Mobbs said.

Lanier opened the second half with a 16-play, 80-yard drive that sapped nearly seven minutes off the clock and used only two pass plays. Polk (95 rushing yards) finished it off with a game-tying, 18yard TD run.

Winder-Barrow answered in just five plays — the big gainer a 51-yard pass from Landis to Tyreek Perkins — and Landis hit Mack for a short TD and a 21-14 lead late in the third quarter.

Harlin Brown tacked on a 24-yard field goal early in the fourth quarter for a 10-point lead that Lanier couldn’t overcome.

Lima to defend Bellator welterweight belt in Jan.

By Collin Huguley Staff Correspondent

This past June, Bellator MMA welterweight champion Douglas Lima successfully defended his world title at Madison Square Garden in New York against Lorenz Larkin in the biggest fight of his career.

Now, that fight pales in comparison to Lima’s next assignment.

On Jan. 20, at The Forum in Inglewood, Calif., Lima (29-6) will defend his belt once again, this time against Canadian star Rory MacDonald (19-4) in a battle for global supremacy at 170 pounds.

“This is a fight that really will determine the No.1 and No. 2 welterweight fighters on the planet,” Bellator president Scott Coker said. “Until Rory fights Douglas, Douglas is the guy that, for me, is the best welterweight on the planet.

I think Rory is No. 2. We’ll really get to see who the best fighter is.”

MacDonald, 28, is a former top UFC contender who holds wins over current UFC welterweight champion Tyron Woodley, Demian Maia, B.J. Penn and Nate Diaz. He signed with Bellator last year and won his promotional debut against Paul Daley in dominant fashion, submitting Daley in the second round of their fight in May. The 29-year-old Lima, who trains out of American Top Team of Gwinnett in Lawrenceville, is fresh off of a win over another

cant fight arenas. After a win in MSG in his last outing, Lima is excited to get the chance to fight in The Forum, as these two venues have been a large step up from the smaller sites where he fought earlier in his career.

“This is something I was expecting, something I was waiting for,” Lima said.

“My last four or five fights have come against solid guys. So I think I deserve (to fight on the big stage).

It is going to be a huge show at The Forum, a major arena. This is the type of fight that I want. I’ve been doing this for a long time and now it is starting to pay off.”

Archer edges Newton

By MiCHael WilSon Staff Correspondant

COVINGTON — Football is a often game where the outcome and narrative can change over mere inches. The Newton Rams and visiting Archer Tigers both found that to be true at the end of their region 8-AAAAAAA Saturday matinee at Homer Sharp Stadium. In the end the Tigers (7-0, 2-0) remained unbeaten with a 20-19 victory over Newton.

No. 3-ranked Archer finally put the game away with tough running by a trio of running backs and a 49-yard catch and run from Daylon Robinson with 1:57 left in the third quarter. However, it did not appear to be the Tigers’ day until sophomore quarterback Carter Peevey’s second touchdown pass of the afternoon.

The Rams (5-2, 1-2) started the game clicking on all cylinders while the visitors appeared to struggle with the early kickoff. On the first play from scrimmage at the Rams’ 20-yard line, Newton quarterback Myron Middlebrooks tried to hook up with Robert Lewis on a pass, but a pass interference penalty got in the way of a completion.

With the 15-yard penalty the Rams found themselves on the move. On the next play, Lewis got his completion with a 23-yard recep-

tion moving the ball near midfield.

Adarius Thomas took a handoff on the next play and picked up 21 yards taking Newton into Archer territory.

Seven plays later, Middlebrooks took the ball over the goal line giving the hosts a quick 6-0 lead with 8:43 left in the first quarter. Newton’s 2-point attempt was shut down by an alert Tigers defense.

Newton’s defense did its part to keep the Rams in the lead throughout the game. The first quarter was a prime example, as they allowed the Tigers to only run six plays and gain 8 yards.

In the process, the Rams caught a bit of a break when an apparent Archer touchdown pass was called back due to an an illegal formation. However, the stingy defense also made their own luck on Archer’s first possession when Rod Kirkland stepped in front of a slant and intercepted a pass at the Archer 22.

Wasting a little more than two minutes, Newton doubled its lead when senior running back Nuru Tinch went the final yard on an efficient seven-play, 22-yard drive. Up 12-0, Newton appeared to be kicking the extra point, but two consecutive Archer offside penalties put the ball inside the 1 and saw the Rams’ attempt a 2-point conversion out of their PAT formation. New-

ton’s attempt came up inches short and left the lead at 12-0 with 5:22 left in the opening quarter.

For the game, Tinch carried the ball 24 times for 87 yards. Leading the Rams’ air attack was sophomore quarterback Neal Howard, who filled in for Middlebrooks when he left the game with an apparent injury midway through the second quarter and finishingwith 66 yards passing on 13 attempts.

Archer finally got on the scoreboard on its second possession of the second quarter, as well as the help of junior running back Semajie Banks 65-yard jaunt down to the 5-yard line. On the next play, the Tigers got on the board and with the extra point and cut Newton’s lead to 12-7 with a little over six minutes left in the first half.

The Tigers weren’t finished with their second quarter scoring as Peevy connected on his first touchdown pass of the day with receiver Braylon Robinson on a fade into the end zone.

However, a missed extra point kept the Archer lead at 13-12 with 24 seconds left in the half.

Wasting no time, Newton’s Elijah Godwin electrified the crowd on the ensuing kickoff return, which he took 90 yards to the end zone, following a successful Newton PAT, the Rams took a 19-13 halftime lead.

NORMAN, Okla. — Iowa State’s Joel Lanning was right in the middle of the action Saturday against No. 3 Oklahoma.

Lanning made plays as a linebacker — recording eight tackles and a sack — and as a quarterback, rushing for 35 yards and passing for 25.

Then, at the end, there was Lanning in the middle of a Cyclones’ celebration after an stunning 38-31 upset win Saturday.

“There’s been a lot of adversity around Iowa State for a long time and a lot of cloud around it,” Iowa State coach Matt Campbell said. “And I think our kids said, ‘I’m sick of it.’”

Iowa State snapped Oklahoma’s 17-game conference winning streak, dating to the 2015 season.

The Cyclones even planted a state of Iowa flag at midfield, much like quarterback Baker Mayfield planted an OU flag after the Sooners’ win at Ohio State last month.

“It’s expected,” Mayfield said. “I’m sure I will get comments of ‘Iowa State is my dad’ or something like that. … I don’t worry about what they’re doing. We have to go back to work.”

Iowa State (3-2, 1-1 Big 12) entered as about a 30-point underdog and hadn’t beaten Oklahoma (4-1, 1-1) since 1990, a streak of 18 consecutive losses. What’s more, the Cyclones didn’t have starting quarterback Jacob Park, who didn’t make the trip. School officials announced he was taking a leave from the team for undisclosed “medical concerns.”

The Cyclones had to go with quarterback Kyle Kempt, who had thrown for just 15 yards during his college career and had not attempted a pass this season entering the game. But he passed for 343 yards

and three touchdowns against the Sooners, completing 18 of 24 passes.

He also got some help from Lanning, who came in to spell Kempt at quarterback. In the offseason, Lanning had moved to middle linebacker when he lost the starting quarterback job to Park. Lanning had started 14 games at quarterback during his career.

“I think Cyclone nation will remember Joel Lanning for a long, long time,” Campbell said. “What he’s doing is unheard of.”

But while Lanning made big plays on both sides of the ball, it was Kempt who made the final big offensive play, hitting Allen Lazard on a fade route with 2:19 remaining to put the Cyclones ahead for good. Lazard went up over Oklahoma safety Chanse Sylvie and cornerback Jordan Thomas to haul in the pass.

The Sooners had one more chance to tie it but Lanning made a big tackle on second down to keep running back Trey Sermon from picking up the first down. Mayfield threw back-to-back incompletions to seal the upset.

The Sooners led by 14 points three times before the struggle started on both sides of the ball.

After scoring on its first four drives, Oklahoma came away from the next four drives with no points,

letting the Cyclones back into the game.

Iowa State’s comeback kicked into high gear when a fumbled exchange by the Sooners at the Cyclones 5 ended what looked destined to be another OU touchdown drive that would have put Oklahoma up by 15.

“When you let teams hang in there like that and teams make some plays and get a little bit of momentum, you can get beat,” Oklahoma coach Lincoln Riley said.

Instead, Iowa State took advantage of Lanning’s fumble recovery and quickly tied the game, thanks in part to a pass interference penalty and then Kempt’s 28-yard touchdown to Marchie Murdock.

Kempt then hit Lazard for a two-point conversion to tie it.

Iowa State’s defense made another critical stop just before half after the Sooners used two timeouts to get the ball back with a chance to extend their lead from 24-10.

But instead, it was the Cyclones that took advantage of the extra time, holding the Sooners to a threeand-out and then getting the ball back with 26 seconds remaining before half.

Kempt immediately hit Hakeem Butler for a 54yard gain to set up a field goal that cut Oklahoma’s lead to 11 at the break.

out knowing whether his relatives were safe. After nearly a week, Garcia was able to connect with his family, including his grandfather, who died just a few days later.

The experience tugged on Garcia’s heart, spurring him and his family in Atlanta to partner with a local restaurant for a donation drive to help Puerto Rico.

Large quantities of medicine, first-aid kits, water, diapers, sleeping bags and pet food were contributed and loaded into trucks.

“It’s always important to be up front and try to get a good pit stall for Sunday.

It’s how you want to start your weekend.”

Coca-Cola 600 pole winner Kevin Harvick (191.394 mph) dominated the first two rounds of qualifying, posting the fastest lap of the evening at 192.589 mph in the first round, but the 2014 series champion had to settle for third in the money round.

“I didn’t feel like I got to the green quite as good (in the third round), and I felt like I had a little bit to spare in (Turn 1) and I didn’t,” Harvick said. “I got the ground just a little bit and got up a foot (from the bottom of the track) and just had to wait a splitsecond — but we have a really good car.

“We had three good rounds, a good starting spot and we’ll go from there.”

Series leader Martin Truex Jr. had an uncharacteristically lackluster qualifying effort, earning the 17th starting position, his worst of the season on a non-restrictor-plate track.

Truex last missed the final 12 at Michigan in August, starting 13th. Before that, his only qualifying performance outside the top 12 on an open-motor track came at Phoenix in March,

when he started 16th.

“I felt pretty good at the end of practice and thought we would be in good shape for qualifying. But the car got way loose for whatever reason. We’ll be fine. We’ll work hard tomorrow in race trim and get this AutoOwners Insurance Toyota ready to roll on Sunday.”

Dover winner Busch qualified fourth, followed by non-Playoff driver Clint Bowyer. Brad Keselowski claimed the sixth starting spot, edging Dover runner-up Chase Elliott for the position. After a strong third-place run at the Monster Mile, Jimmie Johnson failed to make the second round and will start 25th.

“Multiple trips through the inspection line doesn’t help by any stretch and we just missed it,” Johnson said. “So another frustrating Friday, unfortunately; and we’ll be back tomorrow and we’ll have to pass a bunch of cars on Sunday.

“It sucks starting the weekend behind like this, but it is what it is, and we’re just going to have to go to work on Sunday.”

Danica Patrick will start 12th after advancing to the final round at a nonrestrictor plate track for the second time this season.

She qualified sixth at Sonoma in June.

Clutch Harper, Zimmerman help Nationals even series vs. Cubs, 1-1 The SporTS Xchange WASHINGTON — Bryce Harper and Ryan Zimmerman each hit a homer in a five-run eighth inning as the Washington Nationals stormed back to defeat the Chicago Cubs 6-3 in Game 2 of the National League Division Series on Saturday and even the series.

Harper hit a long two-run homer off Carl Edwards, Jr. with one out in the eighth to tie the game at 3. Adam Lind led off with a pinch-hit single and was replaced by pinch-runner Victor Robles, who scored when Harper launched a shot into the right-field stands.

Edwards then walked Anthony Rendon and the Cubs brought in lefty Mike Montgomery, who gave up a single to Daniel Murphy as Rendon took second with one out. Zimmerman (2-for4) then lofted a three-run homer just over the fence in left off Montgomery to give the Nationals a 6-3 lead.

Sean Doolittle pitched the ninth for the Nationals to get his first postseason save.

a free-agent target of the Nationals.

Cubs starter Jon Lester gave up two hits and one run with two walks and six strikeouts. Pedro Strop pitched a scoreless seventh for the Cubs before Edwards came on in the eighth.

The Washington starter was Gio Gonzalez, who got the start in Game 2 as ace Max Scherzer deals with a sore hamstring. Matt Albers took over the sixth for Gonzalez, who worked just 4 1/3 innings against the Los Angeles Dodgers in his only 2016 postseason start.

Kris Bryant (2-for-4) of the Cubs doubled and scored on an Anthony Rizzo homer

in the fourth inning. Bryant also had a broken-bat single in the eighth off Ryan Madson before he was erased on a double play.

Washington, which had just two hits in Friday’s loss, had just two hits before getting four in the eighth inning on Saturday. The Nationals won the NL East title for the fourth time in six years in 2017, but have yet to win a postseason series.

Rendon, who made an error Friday that led to two unearned runs, hit a solo homer down the right field line with two outs in the first to give the Nationals a 1-0 lead off Lester.

It was the first hit for

the Nationals in the series since Michael A. Taylor had a single in Game 1 on Friday.

Willson Contreras of the Cubs tied the game with a solo homer to left off Gonzalez to lead off the second for his second postseason homer.

Chicago made it 3-1 in the fourth as Rizzo hit a two-run homer to right. The homer stood following a crew chief review after a Cubs fans in the front row caught the ball with his bare right hand just above the fence.

Lester made his 20th career postseason start. He retired 10 batters in a row before Zimmerman led off the fifth with a single up the middle. Zimmerman stole second and went to third on a wild pitch. Taylor walked with two outs and pinch-hitter Howie Kendrick walked to load the bases.

But leadoff man Trea Turner struck out on a 94 mph fastball to end the threat in the fifth.

Gonzalez, went five innings and allowed three runs on three hits with six strikeouts and two walks. His last playoff start at home came in 2012 when he couldn’t hold a 6-0 lead in a Game 5 loss to the St. Louis Cardinals.

ANOTHER ONE

Offensive line powers No. 5 Georgia past Vandy The SporTS Xchange NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Georgia’s defensive front has earned acclaim through the team’s fast start to the season. But another easy victory Saturday was more about the offensive line.

The No. 5 Bulldogs ran over Vanderbilt, amassing 423 yards on the ground and rolling to a 45-14 victory at Vanderbilt Stadium on Saturday afternoon.

Running backs Nick Chubb (16 carries, 138 yards, two touchdowns) and Sony Michel (12 carries, 150 yards, one score) were virtually unstoppable for the Bulldogs, who avenged a 17-16 upset loss to the Commodores in Athens last season.

Georgia (6-0, 3-0 SEC) averaged 7.8 yards per carry.

“The game ball goes to our offensive line,” Georgia coach Kirby Smart said. “They played physical, they played tough, they overpowered what I think is a good defensive front. Vanderbilt may not be as good as they were last year defensively, but they’ve still got some good players on defense.

“Our backs and our (offensive) line just kind of singlehandedly took over the game and made it relatively easy for the offensive coordinator to call it.”

Vanderbilt coach Derek Mason offered a similar version of events, as the Commodores (3-3, 0-3) lost their third consecutive game.

“I’ve got to start out and give credit to Georgia and Coach Smart,” Mason said. “They played hard.

Their guys ran hard and made tackles. I thought for us, too many missed

tackles and yards after contact.”

Georgia has outscored three SEC foes — Mississippi State, Tennessee and Vanderbilt — 117-17.

Leading by 14 at halftime, the Bulldogs went for the throat on their first possession of the second half. Quarterback Jake Fromm rolled right, spotted wide receiver Terry Godwin open down the left hash behind cornerback JoeJuan Williams, and threw a strike for a 48-yard touchdown.

After a Commodore punt, Michel dashed 50 yards down the right side for another touchdown with 10:17 left in the third quarter.

Running back Elijah Holyfield added a 15-yard rushing touchdown for Georgia early in the fourth.

Fromm was 7 of 11 for 102 yards and two touchdowns.

The Bulldogs have traditionally run the ball well, but had issues doing that last year. That included last year’s loss to Vandy, but Chubb, who went over 4,000 career rushing yards on Saturday, sees UGA back on track.

“That’s who we want to be. … We practice like it. We wanted to come out here and show it to

everybody,” said Chubb, a senior. “But we’ve still got a ways to go.”

On Georgia’s first drive of the game, Chubb burst through a hole and rumbled through the secondary for a 33-yard touchdown, capping a 7-play, 83-yard drive.

After Vandy punter Sam Loy shanked a 15-yard punt on the VU side of midfield, Michel ripped off a 27-run to the Vandy 13.

On a third-and-goal from the 3, Fromm hit running back D’Andre Swift with a swing pass along the left side for a touchdown to make it 14-0 with 13:08 left before half.

With just under two minutes left in before the break, Chubb took a handoff, waited for his blocks to develop and scooted 14 yards for a 21-0 lead.

The Commodores’ defense spent 34:23 on the field, as Georgia was 7-for-11 in converting third downs and 4-for-4 in red zone chances.

“We couldn’t get ourselves off the field defensively on third down,” Mason said. “Allowed too many chunk plays, long plays in the running game.”

Vandy finally got on the board when quarterback Kyle Shurmur hit wide receiver Kalija Lipscomb

with a 38-yard pass down the right sideline to the UGA 1. On the next snap, running back Ralph Webb dove over with 28 seconds left in the half for the Commodores’ first score.

Shurmur completed 17 of 31 passes for 172 yards with one touchdown.

It was Vanderbilt’s homecoming, but outside of the halftime festivities, you could hardly tell, as Commodore fans were out-numbered in their own stadium.

“When you come into a stadium in the SEC and you’ve got so many ‘Dawg fans, it helps your team relax and play a little better,” Smart said. “I want to thank them first, and for the energy they brought.”

Georgia returns home to face Missouri next week, while Vanderbilt travels to Ole Miss.

Notes: Georgia was down two starters on defense. LB Natrez Patrick didn’t travel with the squad after he was arrested for misdemeanor marijuana possession. DL Trenton Thompson has an MCL sprain and didn’t travel with the team. …

ILB Reggie Carter, a key reserve for the Bulldogs, didn’t travel due to an undisclosed injury from last week. … Vanderbilt CB Tre Herndon returned to start after missing last week. … Georgia had 140 yards in the first quarter, 128 coming on the ground. … Vanderbilt’s touchdown just before half ended a streak of 31 straight drives during which the Bulldogs hadn’t allowed a touchdown. … This was Vanderbilt’s fourth consecutive game against a Top 25 team, the first time in school history that’s happened.

Clemson quarterback Kelly Bryant completed 21 of 29 passes for 200 yards and a touchdown before leaving the game with a knee injury with six minutes left in the third quarter.

He did not return, but the injury did not appear to be serious.

Back-ups Zerrick Cooper and Hunter Johnson led the Tigers the rest of the way.

Wake Forest senior quarterback John Wolford missed the game with an injury to his non-throwing shoulder suffered during last week’s 26-19 loss against Florida State. He was replaced by redshirt sophomore Kendall Hinton, who completed 14 of 30 passes for 203 yards and two touchdowns and also rushed for 92 yards on 24 carries.

TOP 25 NO. 4 PENN STATE 31, NORTHWESTERN 7 EVANSTON, Ill.— Quarterback Trace McSorley completed 25 of 34 passes for 245 yards and a touchdown, also running for a score, as Penn State spoiled the Wildcats’ homecoming.

Penn State Heisman Trophy candidate Saquon Barkley had minus-1 yard rushing at halftime.

But he finished with 16 carries for 75 yards and two touchdowns, including a 53-yard touchdown run that gave the Nittany Lions (6-0, 3-0 Big Ten) a 24-0 lead late in the third quarter.

Northwestern (2-3, 0-2) gained 99 yards in the second half, 23 of which came on a late touchdown drive.

NO. 8 TCU 31, NO. 23 WEST VIRGINIA 24 FORT WORTH, Texas — Kenny Hill had a touchdown passing, receiving and rushing to lead the Horned Frogs.

Hill threw a 45-yard TD to Jalen Reagor in the third quarter and took a pass from receiver KaVontae Turpin and ran 48 yards for another score for the Horned Frogs, who improved to 5-0 and 2-0 in the Big 12.

Mountaineers quarterback Will Grier, who entered ranked sixth nationally in touchdown passes, was 25 for 45 for 366 yards with three touchdowns and an interception, one of two West Virginia (3-2, 1-1) turnovers that TCU converted into 10 points.

Mountaineers running back Justin Crawford was kept just below his Big 12-leading 112.8 rushing yards a game with 111 on 19 carries.

NO. 10 OHIO STATE 62, MARYLAND 14 COLUMBUS, Ohio — Senior quarterback J.T. Barrett passed for three touchdowns and ran for another as the Buckeyes rolled.

Maryland, down to third-team quarterback Max Bortenschlager because of injuries, generated only 66 total yards — 50 rushing and 16 passing.

Then the Terrapins (3-2, 1-1 Big Ten) lost Bortenschlager to an injury late in the third quarter when OSU (5-1, 3-0) cornerback Damon Arnette was booted for targeting.

The Hurricanes (4-0, 2-0 Atlantic Coast Conference) twice picked up first downs on thirdand-long to keep the drive alive, setting up the game-winner to Langham. It was Langham’s only catch of the game.

Florida State (1-3, 1-2) took a 20-17 lead with 1:24 remaining

in the game when Seminoles quarterback James Blackman hit wide open receiver Auden Tate in the end zone from 20 yards out.

NO. 14 USC 38, OREGON STATE 10 LOS ANGELES — Quarterback Sam Darnold threw three touchdown passes as the Trojans bounced back from its loss to Washington State.

Those two possessions placed Oregon State (1-5, 0-3) inside the USC 30-yard line but yielded zero points.

The Beavers were without leading rusher Ryan Nall due to an ankle injury.

VIRGINIA 28, DUKE 21 CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. — Virginia stopped a late Duke drive to hang on for its third consecutive victory, a 28-21 decision Saturday afternoon at Scott Stadium in Charlottesville, Va. The Blue Devils (4-2, 1-2 ACC) managed just 255 yards of offense as quarterback Daniel Jones completed 14 of 42 passes and was picked off twice.

The Cavaliers’ defense held late, sacking Jones for a 10-yard loss after Duke reached the Virginia 30. Jones threw incomplete on fourth-and-16 with 1:08 left, and Virginia ran out the clock as the Blue Devils were out of timeouts.

Virginia (4-1, 1-0) went ahead 28-14 midway through the fourth quarter as quarterback Kurt Benkert connected with wide receiver Doni Dowling on a 17-yard touchdown. Dowling recorded two touchdowns as Benkert overcame a slow start to finish 24 of 43 for 182 yards and three touchdowns.

SYRACUSE 27, PITTSBURGH 24 SYRACUSE, N.Y. — With his two favorite weapons held in check for much of the game, Syracuse quarterback Eric Dungey took matters into his own hands Saturday as the Orange outlasted the Pittsburgh Panthers 27-24 on Saturday on homecoming weekend at the Carrier Dome in Syracuse, N.Y. After scoring on just one of their first seven possessions, the Orange scored on their next four to end the first half and start the second. Dungey threw two touchdown passes and ran for another during that stretch as the Orange (3-3, 1-1 ACC) overcame 10-3 and 13-10 deficits against the Panthers (2-4, 0-2).

He left the game with the Panthers trailing 17-13.

SEC SOUTH CAROLINA 48, ARKANSAS 22 COLUMBIA, S.C. — South Carolina’s defense scored three touchdowns off four Arkansas turnovers in a 48-22 victory Saturday in an SEC game at Columbia, S.C.

South Carolina quarterback Jake Bentley threw three touchdown passes while completing 16 of 31 pass attempts for 199 yards. Rico Dowdle led the Gamecocks on the ground with 61 yards on 11 carries.

Falcons played shoddy, but boast shiny record The SporTS Xchange FLOWERY BRANCH — The defending NFC champion Atlanta Falcons have a 3-1 record, but played horribly for the most part during the first quarter of the season.

Falcons head coach Dan Quinn and his staff will do a self-scout of the first four games before getting some time off over the bye weekend.

“We’ve been in some close games already, and as a coach you want that,” Quinn said. “You want to get tested to see if some of the lessons that you’re trying to teach at practice (are sinking in).”

All has not been well.

The Falcons needed goal-line stands to beat Chicago and Detroit, while the offense showed it still doesn’t have a good shortyardage plan while stalling on the 10-yard line against Buffalo.

Quarterback Matt Ryan,

who is breaking in a new right guard and has had to play two games with a backup right tackle, is off to a slow start. He’s completed 88 of 135 passes (65.2 percent) for 1,109 yards, five touchdowns and five interceptions. He’s on pace for 20 interceptions, which would be a career high.

Ryan gets his interceptions when he’s trying to do too much behind shaky lines. He had a careerhigh 17 in 2013 when the Falcons tried to start Peter Konz at center and 16 in 2015 when they tried to start a guard at center in Mike Person. This year, guard Wes Schweitzer is picking it up and they need right tackle Ryan Schraeder back from the concussion protocol as soon as possible.

Ryan has not been able to connect on deep passes with wide receivers Julio Jones and Taylor Gabriel.

out with injuries for most of the offseason, it’s no real surprise that the deep passing attack has not worked. Against Buffalo, on throws of 10 yards or more downfield, Ryan completed 5 of 11 passes for 97 yards and two interceptions (37.1 passer rating).

“You can’t control the

looks because they are going to play what they play,” Quinn said. “It’s the connecting when the opportunity is there.”

When they have gotten the defensive looks they like, they’ve been misfiring because the timing is off.

Better pass protection would help also.

Schraeder went down

early in the Green Bay game and has been in the concussion protocol program. Ty Sambrailo, who was acquired in a trade with Denver on Sept. 1 has been a liability in pass protection.

Last season, the Falcons started the same offensive line for 19 games. You knew that wasn’t going to happen again. Sambrailo needs to anchor better against pass rushers and punch more often with his arms. Against Buffalo’s Lorenzo Alexander, he barely touched him on a few plays.

Schweitzer, after a bumpy start in Chicago, is starting to figure things out. Center Alex Mack and left guard Andy Levitre have been solid. Left tackle Jake Matthews did a great job against Detroit’s Ziggy Ansah, but had a tough time with Buffalo’s Jerry Hughes.

The Falcons continue to finesse things in short-

yardage situations. Even after the Super Bowl thirdand-1 debacle, the Falcons continue to throw passes instead of powering the ball at folks.

They tried passes on third-and-1 and fourthand-1 against the Bills and misfired. The drive stalled on the 10 and they lost.

They are guilty of doing the same thing over again and expecting different results.

The Falcons try to coach up turnovers, sometimes at the risk of making fundamentally sound tackles.

They are 28th in the league with a minus-4 turnover margin.

Once the line stabilizes, Ryan will stop throwing interceptions and the defense will continue to go after the ball.

“We just have to create more opportunities,” defensive end Brooks Reed said.

“Being more mindful, keep harping on it and we’ll come through.

San Francisco at Indianapolis Today, 1 p.m.

The Indianapolis Colts will try to not get swept by the NFC West when they host the San Francisco 49ers at Lucas Oil Stadium today.

Because of a bizarre schedule, Indianapolis (1-3) will complete its games versus the division in Week 5. The Colts lost to the Los Angeles Rams on the road in Week 1, fell at home to the Arizona Cardinals in Week 2 and were crushed by the Seahawks at Seattle in Week 4.

The Colts, without injured quarterback Andrew Luck, handed the reins to Jacoby Brissett. The backup was 14 of 20 passing for 142 yards with a touchdown to wide receiver Donte Moncrief against Seattle and an interception that was returned for a TD. In an atrocious second half, Brissett was 2 of 9 for 15 yards.

Tennessee at Miami Today, 1 p.m.

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. — The Miami Dolphins started last season — their first under coach Adam Gase — with a 1-4 record.

Amazingly, they won nine of their final 11 games and made the playoffs.

This year, with optimism escalating, the Dolphins lost quarterback Ryan Tannehill for the season, signed Jay Cutler out of retirement, had their first game postponed because of Hurricane Irma, traveled to Los Angeles, New York and London for their first three games, and had their starting middle linebacker go AWOL. The result was yet another poor start — 1-2 so far with a total of just six points scored the past two weeks against defenses (the New York Jets and New Orleans Saints) considered less than average.

“We’re not doing things right,” Gase said of his team’s second straight loss after a seasonopening road win over the Los Angeles Chargers. “We have to be more detailed in what we’re doing. It’s everybody.”

Buffalo at Cincinatti Today, 1 p.m.

Those who earn their living as NFL “experts” said about a month ago that the Buffalo Bills were in tank mode as the 2017 season started.

First-year coach Sean McDermott and his players apparently never got that memo.

Following consecutive wins over Denver and defensing NFC champion Atlanta, Buffalo heads to Cincinnati to face the Bengals today with a 3-1 record and a surprising grasp of first place in

the AFC East.

But McDermott is taking a cautious approach when asked to assess the first quarter of the 16-game season. After all, other Bills teams have flashed early promise but haven’t backed it up, and this club is battling injuries that will leave it short-handed for a tough road test.

“I believe it’s a big challenge for our building to keep things in perspective,” McDermott said.

“If we’re going to get addicted to anything, let’s get addicted to the process of what leads to winning.”

One can’t blame long-suffering Buffalo fans for guzzling the kids’ drink at this point, though. It’s been a while since the Bills appeared to pay attention to detail.

An argument can be made that the Rex Ryan teams of the last couple of years possessed far more talent but about one-tenth of the discipline this group has featured so far.

L.A. Chargers at N.Y Giants Today, 1 p.m.

Sometimes the game of football, much like life, throws a curveball as a test.

That about sums up the plight of the New York Giants and the Los Angeles Chargers, who are two of four teams in the league still in search of their first win.

They’ll try to get that first victory against each other this afternoon at MetLife Stadium.

The Chargers, who relocated from San Diego, have a brand-new coaching staff led

by Anthony Lynn. They hoped the energy the 48-year-old Lynn brought to the team would rejuvenate a club that has lost nine straight regular-season games since a 21-13 victory over the Houston Texans on Nov. 27.

“This is certainly not where we anticipated being, or expected to be, but here’s where we find ourselves,” Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers said.

“So, as you can imagine, sitting at 0-4, not everybody’s in the best mood, but it’s a team that — we’re not down and out, in that sense. We’re frustrated and aggravated and tired of losing, but the guys are still into it and fired up about having 12 games left and having this road trip, coming to New York and playing these Giants.”

Arizona at Philadelphia Today, 1 p.m.

PHILADELPHIA — The Philadelphia Eagles will look to strengthen their position in the NFC with a matchup against the Arizona Cardinals on this afternoon at Lincoln Financial Field.

The Eagles improved to 3-1 after a 26-24 road victory over the Los Angeles Chargers last week and the Cardinals evened their record at 2-2 after an 18-15 overtime win over the San Francisco 49ers.

Philadelphia did an admirable job of establishing the run against the Chargers with LeGarrette Blount carrying 16 times for 136 yards.

The Eagles were able to control the clock in the waning minutes of the fourth quarter on their way to a two-point win.

“Every week you try to go in and you try to establish your running game,” Eagles coach Doug Pederson told reporters.

“That’s the first thing you have to do. If you can do that, it will open up a little play-action pass, it will open up shots down the field.

And that’s kind of where you want to start.”

Jacksonville at Pittsburgh Today, 1 p.m.

Pittsburgh Steelers star running back Le’Veon Bell quieted concerns about his offseason groin surgery and training camp holdout with his biggest game of the season during a victory over Baltimore last week.

The All-Pro’s follow-up performance could be even better.

Coming off a 144-yard, twotouchdown effort, Bell looks ready to roll for the Steelers, who host the Jacksonville Jaguars and the league’s worst run defense today at Heinz Field.

“Our defense got stops, our offense was able to maintain possession of the ball because we took care of the ball, and that allowed us to continually snap it and produce the run total,” Steelers coach Mike Tomlin said.

Bell, who averaged 105.7 rushing yards per game last season, got off to a slow start through three games. The 25-year-old rushed for just 32 yards in the season opener against Cleveland and followed with 87 yards against Minnesota and 61 against Chicago.

Seattle at L.A. Rams Today, 4:05 p.m.

Pete Carroll will lead the Seattle Seahawks onto the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum turf to play the Los Angeles Rams today.

Back when Carroll was at the University of Southern California, his teams filled the historic stadium with a brand of football that was as entertaining as it was successful.

And one of the teams in today’s game arrives with a similar reputation, but can it really be the Rams?

“To the players’ credit, they’ve made a handful of plays,” new Rams coach Sean McVay said.

Make that a fistful at least. The Rams (3-1) look nothing like last year’s team that was built around a running game stuck in the mud and a defense that bent and broke.

Instead, quarterback Jared Goff has shed a shaky rookie season and is directing a multipronged attack that has collected an NFL-high 142 points.

Baltimore at Oakland Today, 4:05 p.m.

The Oakland Raiders are confident backup quarterback EJ Manuel capably can replace the injured Derek Carr against the visiting Baltimore Ravens today.

Nonetheless, Carr’s absence

definitely is a boost for the Ravens. He has beaten Baltimore in each of the past two seasons, throwing for 550 yards with seven touchdown passes in those games.

Manuel was thrust into the starting role when Carr sustained a back injury last week against Denver and was ruled out for 2-to-6 weeks.

Baltimore (2-2) and Oakland (2-2) are looking to snap twogame losing streaks.

Ravens coach John Harbaugh did not alter the game plan preparing for Manuel as opposed to Carr.

Kansas City at Houston Today, 8:30 p.m.

It started Sunday in the immediate aftermath of their dismantling of the Tennessee Titans and lingered Wednesday as Houston Texans coach Bill O’Brien continued shifting the focus from celebrating that win to preparing to face the lone undefeated team in the NFL. O’Brien essentially entered his postgame press conference with a wet blanket in hand, poised to smother the hoopla surrounding the record-setting performance of rookie quarterback Deshaun Watson.

Three days later, when asked if the team recognized Watson for claiming AFC Offensive Player of the Week honors following his five-touchdown performance in a 57-14 victory, O’Brien was quick to stamp out that bit of enthusiasm as well. What had passed was past.

“No. I think it’s a great honor, but no,” O’Brien said. “We’re definitely focused on Kansas City.

I think, at the end of the day, I think those awards are great.

I really do. I think it’s a great honor for him to get that as a rookie, but I think the goal of every week is to make sure we’re focused on the task at hand.”

Minnesota at Chicago Monday, 8:30 p.m.

Strong-armed quarterback Mitchell Trubisky commanded the attention of dozens of NFL scouts as he shattered school records at North Carolina a season ago.

On Monday night, Trubisky will have an opportunity to showcase his abilities in front of millions of viewers. The No. 2 overall pick will make his debut in prime time as the Chicago Bears (1-3) square off against the Minnesota Vikings (2-2).

The 23-year-old Ohio native supplants Mike Glennon as the starter only five weeks into his career.

“I feel like I’m ready,” Trubisky said to reporters this week. “I’m excited. I’m just going to take it day by day and prepare as hard as I possibly can for every single look and situation we can get on Monday. I’m going to be dependent on my teammates a lot. My job is to get the ball to the playmakers and just be a distributor and manage the offense and do the best I can.”

Williams, Central shut down rival Berkmar, 59-0

By Luke Dixon Staff Correspondent

LAWRENCEVILLE – Central Gwinnett scored early and often Friday night, defeating Region 7-AAAAAAA foe Berkmar 59-0 in the Black Knights’ Homecoming game.

Central quarterback Jarren Williams led the Black Knights down the field on the opening drive capping off an 85-yard drive with an 11-yard scamper into the end zone, giving Central an early 7-0 lead. It was the first of his two rushing touchdowns. He added a 45-yard scamper on his offense’s first play of the second half.

Williams also was named the 2017 Homecoming King at halftime and finished the evening accounting for five of

Central’s six touchdowns.

The Kentucky commit finished the night 13-for17 passing for 213 yards and three TDs. He also

rushed for 121 yards.

“We needed it,” Central head coach Todd Wofford said. “We needed a four-quarter game because we haven’t done that yet. The only thing I’m disappointed in is we still had a lot of dumb penalties that we should not have.”

The Black Knights (5-2, 2-1) added three more scores in the first quarter, including one on a blocked punt recovered

by Kevon Blackwood.

Blackwood had three total blocked punts and two fumble recoveries, including one for a touchdown on the night.

“The kids fought, both sides of the ball, special teams did really good with the (three) blocked punts, we just have to clean up the mistakes with the penalties,” Wofford said.

Central’s offense slowed down only slightly in the second quarter as it added 10 points before the half to make it 38-0.

Following a 16-yard catch and run by senior Jallah Zeze, kicker Edgar Godinez booted his only field goal of the night, from 24 yards out with 7:56 to go in the half. Godinez finished the night perfect on his extra points, going 8-for-8.

As the second half turned to running clock, the Black Knights continued to stymie the Patriots (0-7, 0-2). Berkmar quarterback Dante Henry finished the game 6-for15 for 67 yards through the air with minus-19 yards on the ground.

Central added two more touchdowns in the final frame as sophomore Skylar Adams 5- and 35-yard scores on the ground.

knelt for a pray in the end zone after the play.

Huzzie said he dedicated the play to his teammate and his grandfather who died one week ago.

“The past two weeks have been very hard,” Huzzie said. “Kevon, that’s my brother and we’ve known each other since middle school. … That was on my mind.”

Collins Hill’s offense sputtered at the beginning of the game. The Wildcats stopped Collins Hill from converting a first down on fourth and short from the Wildcats’ 5-yard line.

The Eagles’ following drive was hampered, thanks to back-to-back penalties to start the drive. They set themselves back again on the ensuing drive with penalties on third and fourth downs, including one that negated a touchdown.

Gregory said the Eagles took a few drives to adjust to the way Duluth’s defense attacked its wing-T offense.

“We told our kids all week, we’ve got to weather the storm,” Gregory said.

“We don’t know how teams are going to line up to us. … Sometime the newness of what they do on defense cause problems early on.”

Once Collins Hill wasn’t moving backward, its offense outmatched Duluth.

Eagles cornerback Darius Penton intercepted a deep ball near the end of the first quarter which sparked a 12play, 96-yard scoring drive that was capped by a 5-yard

touchdown and two-point conversion from Collins Hill running back Evan Anderson.

Anderson finished with 87 yards on 11 carries and 2 TDs. Najji Germana led the Eagles with 129 yards on seven attempts with a score.

Most of their playing time was logged in the first half.

“It’s good that we won, but we still want to keep (Rouse) in our prayers,” Anderson said.

Anderson’s TD started a streak of four consecutive offensive plays that resulted in Collins Hill touchdowns.

Anderson scored on a 31yard run to help the Eagles to a 15-0 lead in the second quarter. That was followed by a 60-yard TD pass from Eagles quarterback JonMichael Findlay to Justin Daughtry on the following drive.

Finally, Germana found daylight and burst into the open field for a 69-yard TD run at the 3:11 mark in the second quarter.

Collins Hill led 30-0 at halftime with a total of 309 offensive yards, and the Eagles outgained the Wildcats 406-262. Collins Hill racked up 346 rushing yards.

Duluth’s El-Amin was 20-for-38 passing for 184 yards and a TD. Huzzie caught 11 passes for 103 yards including the late TD. Collins Hill (4-3, 2-1) returns home to host Mountain View, and Duluth (2-4, 0-2) will play at North Gwinnett next week.

LAWRENCEVILLE — It was anybody’s game at the half, but Mountain View left no doubt in the second half that it would beat Region 6-AAAAAAA foe Peachtree Ridge.

The Bears assembled a dominating performance on both sides of the ball, outgaining the Lions 329 to 81 en route to a 38-7 win Friday night in a Region 6-AAAAAAA. Mountain View led 17-7 at the half, but the defense completely locked down Peachtree Ridge in the second half as the Lions were held without a first down.

The Bears also returned two interceptions for touchdowns, while quarterback Matt Edwards put Blake Carrol together an efficient night by throwing for 151 yards on 11 of 23 attempts with one score.

“We had good plan going in and our d-line played fantastic,” Mountain View head coach Nick Bach said. “The linebackers also came in and filled what they were supposed to. Peachtree Ridge is a talented team and I figured they would try to get their running game going, but our guys fit where they were supposed to.”

Jamari Jackson led the Lions (1-5, 1-1) in rushing with 55 yards on 17 carries, but Peachtree Ridge could provide no more offensive support, especially in the passing game as the Lions were held to just 11 yards through the air.

The attack up front for the Bears defense was led by Jaelin Humphries, who was continually in the backfield, eventually recording two tackles for loss.

That strong defense helped the Bears get off to a fast start by halting the Lions on their third offensive play of the night when Blake Carroll intercepted the first pass of the game from Seth Robinson.

Carroll had settled back in zone coverage and was in the right place as the ball went right to him, leading to a 45-yard return for the game’s first points.

The Lions were never able to mount any serious drives in the first two quarters, especially with its passing game as Robinson was just 2-for-9 for seven yards and one interception in the first half.

Meanwhile, the Bears were able to get its running game going on its second possession of the night, going 82 yards on 15 plays and using 5:52 of the game clock.

Ten of the plays on that drive were on the ground, and it was a running play that ended the drive on the first play of the second

quarter when Davian Criss powered in from a yard out.

Even though its offense was struggling, the Lions were still able to take advantage of a huge break when a bad snap on a Mountain View punt late in the second quarter gave the Lions great field position at the Bear 15.

Three plays later, Trent Brown found the end zone with a 2-yard TD run around right tackle to get the Lions back in the game at 14-7 with 1:33 left in the half.

Still, the Bears had one last drive, answering Brown’s TD by going from its own 36 to the Lions 15 for a 32-yard field goal from Carlos Ayala to give the Bears a 17-7 lead at the half.

Any momentum from that late TD scored by the Lions went away when the second half began as Peachtree Ridge ran just 16 plays in the second half on six possessions.

Five of those were three and outs, while the other ended when Trevon Salter picked off backup quarterback Tarris Bouie for a 49-yard TD return.

“Mountain View made some good adjustments,” Peachtree Ridge head coach Reggie Stancil said.

“When we made ours, we didn’t stay on blocks or we kind of went the wrong way and made too many throws to the other team. Our guys played hard and we’re going to keep going at it and get things figured out.”

Mountain View receiver Malachi Carter led all players in yards gained with 110, catching six passes with one score on a 6-yard slant midway through the third.

The Bears (6-1, 2-1) also added another offensive TD in the second half on a 4-yard run from Criss, who finished the night with 38 yards on 12 carries with two scores, while Carroll led all rushers with 83 yards on eight carries.

The Lions also received a big scare late in the fourth when receiver Myles Chukwura went down with an apparent neck injury.

Chukwura was taken off the field via ambulance after being stabilzed on a stretcher on a lengthy delay, leaving to a standing ovation from all in attendance.

“I hate to see a kid go down like that,” Bach said. “From what I saw, I think he’s fine. Everything was moving on him he just said his neck was a little sore and they wanted to be careful.”

Grayson’s offensive exploits “We always expect him were spearheaded by quarter-

back D.J. Irons, who contributed running touchdowns of 64 and 4 yards, as well as two TD passes of 85 and 49 yards.

“D.J. has just gotten better every week. He has really improved in every facet of his game,” said Coach Hunnicutt.

The Grayson (6-0, 1-0) defense was also flexing it’s muscle as they were dominating as well as opportunistic. They forced multiple turnovers and converted two of those into TDs. “I just can’t say enough about our defense,” said Hunnicutt.

“They just played lights out. Our defensive line, linebackers, and defensive backs all played well.

It was just a total effort by our defense.”

Dacula 49, Apalachee 13 WINDER — For arguably the most underrated Class AAAAAA football team in Georgia, Dacula was looking to come out and show everyone in the state just exactly what they were made of in its Region 8-AAAAAA opener.

And that the Falcons did on Friday night with a dismantling of the Apalachee Wildcats.

Fresh off of a bye, Dacula (2-4, 1-0) picked the Wildcats’ defense apart and scored three defensive touchdowns en route to a 49-13 win.

Dacula dropped 28 firstquarter points, and followed that up with another score just 52 seconds into the second quarter.

The Falcons went on to score three more touchdowns from that point on.

After losing to four quality opponents, including a 14-point loss to AAAAAAA seventhranked Walton two weeks ago, this win was all the more satisfying for a program itching to get back into the win column.

“We really challenged our kids before the game to play fast and to play free and I thought we came out and did that,” Dacula head coach Tommy Jones said.

“We were fortunate to capitalize on some Apalachee mistakes, and that helped us. When the defense is able to score points, it generates momentum. And when you have that kind of momentum, it carries over into all phases in the game. I’m really proud of our boys tonight.”

The Falcons racked up 291 yards of total offense — 221 in the first half — and held the Wildcats to just 143. Jones pulled his offensive starters to start the third quarter, ending quarterback Shayne Buckingham’s day with 75 yards passing on two completions, and a 5-yard rushing TD. Senior running back Tre McMillian led the Falcons in rushing with 95 yards and two touchdowns, which has him feeling great after missing the last month with an injury.

Buford 70, Johnson 0 GAINESVILLE — Ten different players scored as Buford’s football team rolled to a 70-0 win over Johnson-Gainesville in Region 8-AAAAA on Friday night.

The Wolves (4-1, 2-0) amassed 448 yards of offense while holding Johnson to 51 total yards, all on the ground.

Quarterbacks Aaron McLaughlin and Will Westmoreland each threw for two touchdowns. McLaughlin was 7-for-9 and totaled 133 yards while Westmoreland was perfect on all seven of his pass attempts for 53 yards.

Scoring touchdowns for Buford were: Anthony Grant, KJ Johnson, Derrian Brown, Tyler Gillis, Isaiah Isaac, Seth Auer, Elijah Turner, Forbes Hamby, Xalan Taylor and Quin Williams.

Isaac, a wide receiver, led the Wolves in rushing with his 59yard end around touchdown. No Buford ball carrier ran more than twice in the game. The offense gained 231 yards on the ground and 217 passing.

Wesleyan 34, Mt. Vernon 14 ATLANTA — Following its first Region 5-A loss to undefeated Eagle’s Landing Christian, the Wesleyan Wolves faced another unbeaten football team on the road Friday night.

But this one went much better for the Wolves.

Wesleyan surged in the second and third quarters to dominate third-ranked Mount Vernon Presbyterian 34-14, improving to 6-2 overall and 3-1 in the region.

“Our effort was fantastic,” Wesleyan head coach Franklin Pridgen said. “I was really proud of us defensively, in places, I was proud of us offensively, in places.”

Wesleyan opened the scoring as it ran the ball down the field in four plays, capping the drive on a 1-yard plunge by Garrett Hangartner. However, Mount Vernon responded when quarterback Reginald Burnette hit running back Justin Douglas with a short pass that turned into a 71-yard scoring play when Douglas weaved through the Wesleyan defense for a score.

The Wolves shut down the Mount Vernon attack from there and quarterback Banks Ramsey engineered two second-quarter scoring drives. The senior signal caller led his team down the field in six plays and took matters into his own hands on a 1-yard score.

The drive was aided by a huge 42-yard run by running back George Bielan that drove the ball deep in Mustang territory.

The Wolves’ offensive line was stellar in the running game, opening holes for 281 rushing yards.

Athens Academy 49, Hebron 14 ATHENS — The Hebron Christian Lions traveled to Slaughter Field on Friday night in a bid to upset undefeated Athens Academy in what figured to be a key Region 8-A contest.

And a slaughter is exactly what took place.

The Lions got punched in the mouth from the get-go, as the Spartans scored touchdowns on their first three drives to set the tone for a dominant 49-14 win over Hebron.

“We made a bunch of mistakes,” Hebron head coach Jeff Saturday said. “It’s one of those things where we didn’t start well and once that goes, we ran into the buzzsaw. That is a good football team we just played.”

Star running back Chandler Lewis (21 rushes, 128 yards) and the potent Hebron rushing attack was contained for most of the game and the Lions (4-2, 3-2) struggled to establish any form of steady offense.

Commerce 55, Providence 0 LILBURN — It was a rough night for Providence Christian Academy as Commerce scored 42 points in the first half en route to a 55-0 win.

The Storm (1-5, 1-4 region) struggled to move the ball all night, garnering only three first downs.

“It was a rough night, but I’m still proud of my team,” said Providence head coach Parker Conley. “They continued to fight until the end.”

The Tigers (5-1, 4-1 region) took the opening kickoff and drove 73 yards in five plays, highlighted by a 45-yard completion from Nate Ray to Caleb Mason. Two plays later, Dajuan Wood scored from the 1 to give the Tigers a 7-0 lead.

After being forced to punt on its first offensive possession, the Storm defense seemed to give the team a lot of momentum.

A fumble by Commerce’s Nick Patrick was snagged out of midair by Mitchell Miller, putting the ball on the Storm 48-yard line.

However, the Storm were forced to punt after three plays, giving the ball right back to the Tigers.

Winder resident Angela Reeves shares a laugh with a krampus character at Netherworld Haunted House in Norcross on Tuesday as they chat via FaceTime with Reeves’ daughter.

MONSTER PARTY

Netherworld aims to make final Norcross season memorable

BY CURT YEOMANS

curt.yeomans@gwinnettdailypost.com

Thirty minutes before her first night as a cast member at Netherworld Haunted House on Tuesday, Norcross resident Melissa Crawford was getting turned into an evil stone angel with glowing neon green eyes.

As she sat in the makeup room, Netherworld artist Josh Bowden dabbed dark gray paint on Crawford’s arms to make it look like she had chips and cracks on her face and arms.

Gradually, Crawford began to look like something related to the evil living Weeping Angels statues on “Doctor Who.” While Bowden worked on the paint job, Crawford casually waited as if she had been working at the haunted house for years and used to the process. She also wasn’t nervous about her first night.

“I’ve been going to haunted houses since I was a teenager, and then one day I was just like, ‘I should start working at one of these,’” Crawford said. “I have the time, and I

love horror, so I might as well have fun scaring people … I’ve only done cosplay. I’m a very active cosplayer. I just went to Anime Weekend Atlanta, so that’s what I usually do.

“I’m just like, ‘I’ve done this sort of thing before.’ It’s just going to be a different setting, honestly.”

With the arrival of October, Netherworld’s staff and cast are working in the final season at their

longtime Norcross location. After 20 years at 6624 Dawson Blvd., the haunted house is in the midst of a move to a new location near Stone Mountain Park.

This is the second time in its 21-year history that Netherworld has made a move.

UWG is coming to Gwinnett.

Although it been associated with Norcross for most of its existence, the haunted house’s owner, Ben Armstrong, said it spent its first year at a location in Kennesaw.

•From Page 1C Given its long association with Norcross, Armstrong said the haunted house is pulling out a few tricks and treats for guests as part of its final year at the location.

“It’s sort of like the end of an era, so we’re very excited about this year’s shows,” Armstrong said. “Our downstairs show is completely different. We brought back our 3-D, which we haven’t done in 11 or 12 years. People are loving that because they haven’t seen that in so long.

And we have a number of major scenes that we’ve changed upstairs.

“We’ve got a lot of different stuff here, but of course the classics are still here too that people love. The characters that they love to interact with, that they love to see every year are back. Out here (in the parking lot), we’ve got even more photo ops. We have our insectophobia game.

We’ve just got a lot to do out here. There’s so much fun to be had out here.”

There are two haunted houses visitors can go through at Netherworld.

The upstairs theme is Primal Scream, which Armstrong described as nature revolting against humanity and the netherworld. The downstairs theme is Mr. Grendel’s 3-D Funhouse of Horrors, where an ancient monsters runs a funhouse to lure in victims so he can eat them.

Netherworld is also staging a short hospital-themed escape game at the Norcross location. It’s a taste of the much longer games visitors can participate in if they opt to visit the new location at 2076 West Park Place near Stone Mountain.

The three escape games offered at the Stone Mountain location are each about an hour long, whereas the one offered at the Norcross location lasts about five minutes. The games at the new location are collectively referred to as “Escape the

flavored things and they’re lots of fun.”

Winder resident Angela Reeves visited Netherworld Tuesday for the first time in several years because of the changes going on at the haunted house. She used to visit three or four times a year, but she estimated the last time she had visited was in 2009.

“We heard they were closing so we decided to come back and give another try before they moved,” Reeves said. “I love the characters here.”

Before she went into the attraction, she and a horned krampus, one of the characters who interacts with guests while they wait in line in the parking lot, did a Facetime video chat with her daughter, who had been scared by a video she saw of Netherworld.

“She thought she was going to come and I was showing her footage of it online and she started crying,” Reeves said. “She was like ‘I’ll just wait.’”

Armstrong said it’s taken Netherworld years to become the nationally recognized attraction that it is, though. Over time it also became a tradition, and people who once visited

Netherworld as kids are now cast members as adults, its owner said.

“I’ve been around the haunted industry for a long time, and Netherworld grew over a long period of time,” Armstrong said. “It wasn’t always this popular. It took a long time to grow. Somehow, what we’ve done is really — people love it. I think what it is, it’s scary but also fun.

“People love to come here and scream, they love the quantity and the quality of the effects, the actors, the stunts, the puppets. They also just love the atmosphere and being here on an October night.”

Before the frights begin each night, though, transformations take place behind the scenes. An hour before the shows begin, the makeup room and props area is abuzz with actors getting turned into things that are not of this world.

Boils and ridges are getting attached to their faces, wigs are being put on their heads, colored contact lenses are being put in their eyes and paint is being sprayed on arms, necks and faces.

Some of them become evil clowns. Others become terrifying statues. More still become redneck zombies,

aliens or some other monsters from the underworld.

Armstrong said there are about 125 cast members working on any given night, and about 400 employees in total working for Netherworld each season.

For some cast members, such as Carrolton resident Stephanie Baum, getting turned into a monster and trying to scare someone can be a bit of a stress release.

She is a Netherworld veteran, having been a member of its cast for seven years.

Before the gates opened Tuesday night, Baum was in Alex Breijak’s makeup chair getting turned into an evil statue.

“This place lets me keep my sanity,” she said. “At my day job, I have to be nice to people. I’m a server, and then I get to come here and just yell and take out my anger out on people.”

Breijak is in his first year as a makeup artist at Netherworld, but comes into the job having worked previously at mask shops and on films in New Orleans. He came to Atlanta to work for an effects studio and decided to take a job at Netherworld as well since he was in the area and the skill set needed to help turn ordinary people into monsters.

“It’s great,” he said of the environment at the haunted house. “It’s a wonder atmosphere. Everyone is very professional and super nice and trying to get it done.”

Meanwhile, Josh Bowden has a bit more experience at doing makeup for Netherworld, having worked there before. He is now in his second year of doing makeup at the haunted house.

“The versatility, I’d say, is probably the best thing,” he said. “It changes every single year so we have something new to play with.”

Although the process of putting makeup on cast members can take some time, it is ultimately key to helping Netherworld meet its goal of doling out frights to its guests.

That is why Crawford is looking forward to being a member of the cast.

“I want to get a lot of screams,” she said.

Netherworld is open from 7 p.m. to midnight Fridays and Saturdays and 7:30 to 10:30 p.m. Sundays through Thursdays until Oct. 31.

It will also be open from 7:30 to 10:30 p.m. for the weekend of Nov. 3-5 before the Norcross location closes for good.

He was leading the writers’ room where a group of television scribes gather to brainstorm and “break” stories, which is jargon that means they were laying out story lines for a season before the show starts shooting.

He texted me one day, “Everyone in the writers’ room thinks you’re a character. You’re endlessly entertaining and interesting.”

Since Tink was so homesick, I had been sending daily photos of life on the Rondarosa as well as occasional videos.

In the South, characters are the delight of our daily living.

Entrepreneurship can be satisfying yet also tiring If you’re an entrepreneur, odds are you’re tired.

People often become entrepreneurs because they want more freedom.

Yet in the struggle to make money, many entrepreneurs work longer hours and treat themselves worse than any boss would. As both the doer and the supervisor, the entrepreneur gets two jobs: labor and management.

Dorie Clark, author of “Entrepreneurial You”

Forget Perfect

Lisa McLeod says, “The first challenge is how do you become successful as an entrepreneur. Nine times out of

10, the answer is you get successful running yourself ragged. You work 7 days a week, killing yourself with direct service.”

I can relate. In the early days of my own business, I reached max capacity quickly.

“At a certain point you realize it’s unsustainable,” Clark said. “But you think, ‘I have to be successful, what are the other options?’”

Clark says the answer is, “You have to look at

your model.”

When you realize you can’t run yourself through a magic duplicating machine, the challenge becomes scale.

In writing “Entrepreneurial You,” Clark profiles successful entrepreneurs, large and small, all over the world. “I wanted to present a smorgasbord of options, so people can at look what models might work for their business, and how to get started,” she said.”

The subtitle of the book — “Monetize Your Expertise, Create Multiple Income Streams and Thrive” — speaks to the aspirations of every entrepreneur. “You have to create passive income,” she said.

Clark’s previous book “Stand Out” was Inc. Magazine’s No. 1 leadership book of 2015. In it, she provides a template for professionals to differentiate themselves.

Clark realized, though, that standing out is not enough. “What I came to understand in the course of traveling and talking about ‘Stand Out,’” she said, “becoming an expert in your field,

provide real information with real numbers.”

Clark details financial models for several entrepreneurs, including herself. The transparency is both helpful and inspiring.

Another topic Clark addresses is persistence.

“People know it as a truism, but I was struck by the dramatic and exponential benefits people get by persevering when everyone else quit,” she said.

For example, people are often reluctant to create a podcast because they believe there are too many to be noticed. Yet in a 10-year study, the average podcast lasted only 12 episodes before the creator gave up and stopped. In 2016, there were 206,000 podcasts, while that is a necessary yet only 40 percent were and important step, it’s active — defined as one not the final step. episode in the preceding “Even if people are six months. recognized for their ex“This is true of almost pertise, many have a hard everything in life,” Clark time figuring out how to said. “People look at the monetize their business.” large field of competition In “Entrepreneurial and say that’s way too You,” Clark tackles the hard.

bestbets SUNDAY 10 p.m. on CBS Madam Secretary Series executive producer Morgan Freeman reprises his guest role as a the Supreme Court’s chief justice in the drama series’ fourth-season premiere, “News Cycle.” A foreign diplomat dies while meeting with Elizabeth (Tea Leoni), prompting a report that suggests she caused the tragedy.

Her suspicions are aroused by the president of the deceased man’s country failing to order a full investigation. Eric Stoltz, an executive producer of this show

as well, also reprises his recurring guest role.

MONDAY 9 p.m. on CW Valor The CW certainly has its share of superheroes, but the premiere of this military drama revolves around heroes of a more down-to-earth nature.

They’re U.S. Army helicopter pilots whose mission to Somalia went tragically wrong, with the only two returnees (Christina Ochoa, Matt Barr) keeping certain details quiet.

When they learn that one of their comrades (W. Tre Davis) is still alive and being held by terrorists, they start training to go back and retrieve him in this “Pilot.”

TUESDAY

Tea Leoni

9 p.m. on CW DC’s Legends of Tomorrow Though their disruption of time means Rip Hunter (guest star Arthur Darvill) wants to disband them, the Legends seize the chance to reunite and try to set things right as the fantasy-adventure’s Season 3 begins with “Aruba-Con.” They get their

Arthur Darvill first chance immediately as they encounter Julius Caesar (guest star Simon Merrells) in modern times. Brandon Routh, Caity Lotz and Nick Zano continue among the show’s stars.

WEDNESDAY 9 p.m. on CW Dynasty If you’re of a certain age, you’ll remember the catfights between Alexis and Krystle ... and if not, this new reboot from former “Gossip Girl” producers alters the premise of the popular 1980s serial a bit.

There’s now a Cristal (Nathalie Kelley), whose entry into the

wealthy, powerful Carrington family — by marrying patriarch Blake (“Melrose Place” alum Grant Show) — alarms his determined daughter Fallon (Elizabeth Gillies, “Sex&Drugs&Rock&Roll”) in the series “Pilot.”

10 p.m. on USA Mr. Robot As you might expect with this brain-teaser of a show, not a lot of information is available about what to expect in Season 3, which opens tonight with an episode called “Eps3.0powersaver-mode.h.” The action picks up immediately following the Season 2 cliffhanger, with Elliot (Rami Malek) somewhat predictably having survived being shot by Tyrell (Martin Wallstrom). Elsewhere, expect some insights into the disintegration between Elliot and Mr. Robot (Christian Slater). Carly Chaikin and Portia Doubleday also star.

THURSDAY 8 p.m. on CW Supernatural The number 13 may play into superstition, but it’s ironically lucky for this series. That

season begins with “Lost and Found,” which finds Winchester brothers Sam and Dean (Jared Padalecki, Jensen Ackles) in a particularly tough place. Their mother, Crowley and Castiel are all gone — and the siblings can’t agree on what to do about newborn Jack. Mary (Samantha Smith) rightfully has big concerns about her survival.

FRIDAY 9:01 p.m. on ABC Marvel’s Inhumans As the earthly hunt for Black Bolt (Anson Mount) continues, Medusa (Serinda Swan) makes considerable strides in finding him in the new episode “Make Way for ... Medusa.” Determined to maintain his control of Attilan, Maximus (Iwan Rheon) takes steps to try to ensure his ongoing reign. Henry Ian Cusick (“Lost”) continues his guest role.

Isabelle Cornish, Ken Leung and Ellen Woglom also star.

9:01 p.m. on FOX The Exorcist The stories of the foster home and Tomas and Marcus (Alfonso Herrera, Ben Daniels) merge in the new episode “Unclean,” as the priests travel to

Seattle to tackle the case of a possessed girl.

SATURDAY 11:29 p.m. on NBC Saturday Night Live Following the critical acclaim he recently received as a writer and star of the movie “The Big Sick,” Kumail Nanjiani — also of the series “Silicon Valley” — becomes a first-time “SNL” guest host with this new episode. The musical guest is Pink, performing tunes from her recently released third studio album “Beautiful Trauma.” Emmy winner Kate McKinnon, Kenan Thompson and Cecily Strong are in the regular ensemble cast.

A YouTube video is available at https://youtu. be/q1VSqBiaVUA. If selected, Lanier will receive $5,000 worth of equipment and work with IMAX to create a documentary.
