Man, woman found dead in Lawrenceville Pair had history of domestic issues, according to police

BY CAILIN O’BRIEN

cailin.obrien @gwinnettdailypost.com

Nicole McGhee was outside on Thursday when she heard the elderly woman and the middle-

aged man who lived next door to her arguing loudly.

That wasn’t unusual.

Sometimes their arguments even brought out the cops.

“She yelled at him a lot,” McGhee said. “I

could hear her clearly yelling at him and (saying) some pretty awful things.”

Still, McGhee wasn’t expecting the mob of police activity that overtook the 1200 block of Bishops

Lane in Lawrenceville just before noon Saturday when police found both the man and the woman dead in the home they shared. Both apparently suffered from gunshot wounds.

“It’s truly sad,” McGhee said. “It really is.”

A family member of the man and the woman came to check on the family at their home Saturday morning. When nobody answered his knocks, the family member went around to the back of the house to peek inside.

“When he went around to the back of the home he saw the middle-aged male deceased on the floor with a gunshot wound,” said Gwinnett County Police Detective David Smith.

“He didn’t attempt entry and called 911.”

FBI arrests man accused of murdering his daughter

BY CAILIN O’BRIEN cailin.obrien@gwinnettdailypost.com

The Atlanta man accused of killing his 3-month-old daughter in a Peachtree Corners apartment was arrested Saturday after he stepped off a flight at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport.

Charles Hamilton, 44, flew back to Atlanta from the Dominican Republic before he was intercepted

by FBI agents, according to the bureau. Gwinnett Charles County police have been Hamilton looking for Hamilton since Sept. 12, a day before his baby, Adriana Hamilton, died at Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta Scottish Rite.

She had been taken there Sept. 9 after emergency dispatchers received a 911 call reporting that the child was having breathing problems.

Hamilton had allegedly been caring for the baby that day while her mother was doing laundry at a laundromat. Gwinnett County Police Cpl. Michele Pihera said at the time that hospital staff noticed the child had “injuries that were inconsistent with her initial medical problems.”

In fact, she said the baby’s autopsy showed “significant head trauma,” which led officials to treat her death as a homicide — which likely took place while she was under her father’s care.

On Sept. 19, officials found Hamilton’s Yukon in the Atlanta airport’s parking lot.

Now, Hamilton is in FBI custody.

He had not been booked into Gwinnett See ARREST, Page 7A

Rivka Barnhard entered the Gwinnett County Fairgrounds on Saturday with one goal in mind.

“I’m very excited about not throwing up,” said the 7-year-old. “Because there’s a lot of spinny rides here at the fair.”

There wasn’t any time for puke. Barnhard had to fit as many spinny rides as she could into the weekend. She was among the Gwinnett residents making last-minute fair memories ahead of the fair’s closing on Sunday night.

For Fair Manager Dale Thurman, the last weekend of the Gwinnett County Fair is bittersweet. On one hand, he’s sad to see the colorful rides and livestock go.

“But 11 days is enough,”

As of Saturday, Thurman had already termed this year’s fair as a success.

“It’s been so far very, very smooth,” Thurman said. “At this point, other than some people getting overheated or

Suwanee Elementary tops again in heart fundraiser

BY CAILIN O’BRIEN

cailin.obrien @gwinnettdailypost.com

American Heart Association Youth Market Director Scott Cooper had a surprise for the fourth-grade gym class going about their normal routine at Suwanee Elementary School on Friday afternoon.

“There are more than 50 schools here in Gwinnett County that help do Jump Rope for Heart to support the American Heart Association,” Cooper told the room full of elementary schoolers. “But there is only one elementary school that is the No. 1 elementary school in all of Gwinnett County.”

For the second year in a row, Suwanee Elementary School became that No. 1 school by raising the most money of any elementary school in the county during Jump Rope for Heart last spring.

Under the direction of Physical Education teacher Jason Gogolinski, the kids learned how to care for their own hearts through cardio exercise, including jumping rope. Then, they contacted family members and friends to explain to them how some people are born with “sick hearts” or can have hearts that become sick over time.

They also explained how they could help these people by donating money to the American Heart Associa-

tion, which funds research to help eradicate heart disease.

Overall, the kids from Suwanee Elementary raised $9,519.40 for people with “sick hearts.”

That’s a big deal, especially considering that Suwanee Elementary is one of the smallest elementary schools in Gwinnett. All that money was raised by about 600 students.

“In a small school, such as Suwanee Elementary School, to raise the most money — it’s quite an accomplishment,” said Suwanee Elementary

School Principal Emily Keag. “While I’m speaking, I’m quite speechless at this celebration today.”

Gogolinski was also somewhat speechless on Friday afternoon. Mostly, because he hadn’t expected to win the same award his classes had claimed last year. He said he figured Suwanee Elementary hadn’t reached first place when Cooper showed up at the school about two weeks ago to take away the trophy they’d won in 2016.

Gogolinksi figured they weren’t getting it back.

“I was under the impression that we didn’t win,”

Gogolinksi said. “I knew we were close, but I was under the impression that we didn’t make it. So it was a total shock to see (Cooper).”

On Friday afternoon, Gogolinksi was expecting Keag and GCPS Health and Physical Education Director Dr. Tasha Guadalupe to join him in the gym to observe his fourth-grade class on Friday afternoon.

He was not expecting to see Cooper, holding a plaque and the trophy he was sure the school had lost. He cheered along with the kids when Cooper announced Suwanee’s win.

“It’s good news to hear,” Gogolinksi said. “Maybe I’ll have to get on the announcements later and tell everybody that we raised the most in the county.”

Keag said she attributes the school’s success in large part to Suwanee’s supportive community and to Gogo-

linski’s dedication. Every year, “Coach Gogo” kicks Jump Rope for Heart off with a pep rally along with Cooper. Then, Keag said he keeps the kids excited all year long.

“Coach Gogo has an amazing relationship with our students,” Keag said.

“So I think because they know he cares about them and he cares about this cause, that they care as well.”

Gogolinksi and his gym classes were excited about their award. He said they were also excited to keep the winning streak alive.

“We’ll have to do it again this year,” Gogolinski said.

Jenkins, Freemans Mill, Fort Daniel, Mulberry, Duncan Creek, Rock Springs, Roberts, Simpson and Berkeley Lake elementaries also were honored for finishing in the top 10 during Jump Rope for Heart.

some of our local restaurants’ delicious food while providing feedback that will help shape the future of the Jimmy Carter Boulevard corridor,” CID officials said in an invitation for the session.

There will be three stops on the crawl and different questions will be asked of participants at each stop.

First stop will be Hong Kong Supermarket, where participants will check in and answer questions

about what they want to see preserved on the corridor.

The next stop will be Bambu, where participants will be asked what they want to see changed, and the third stop will be Bento Cafe, where officials will ask attendees what they want to create on the corridor.

The shopping center is located at 5495 Jimmy Carter Blvd. in Norcross.

The LCI study will serve

as a master plan to help the CID create a vision for the Jimmy Carter Boulevard corridor’s future. It will serve as a 10-year update to the CID’s original LCI plan for the corridor and officials said they want to focus on “creating a sense of place” along the road, between Buford Highway and Britt Road.

The goal is look at ways to improve the corridor’s business environment, which the CID praised for

its cultural diversity, while also looking at opportunities for redevelopment and streetscaping and beautification guidelines.

The CID has also posted community surveys online in English, Spanish, Korean, Chinese and Vietnamese at www.gwinnettvillage.com/jimmycarter-boulevard-livablecenters-initiative/. Paper surveys are also available in Arabic by calling the CID at 770-449-6542.

The clinic will also offer micro-chipping for $25.

All payments must be made in cash. Cats must be kept in carriers and dogs should be kept on leashes.

Proceeds from the clinic will benefit the Society of Humane Friends of Georgia and Operation Second Chance, an organization that pairs dogs and cats with Gwinnett County jail inmates until the pets find their forever homes.

Buford-area cemetery is added to Shelter offering Georgia Register of Historic Places $10 pet vaccines

BY CURT YEOMANS

curt.yeomans @gwinnettdailypost.com

Georgia historic preservation officials recently added a Buford-area cemetery to a state-managed list of historically significant places, putting it one step closer to inclusion on a similar national list.

The Georgia Department of Natural Resources recently announced the Friendship Baptist Church Cemetery was one of six new additions to the Georgia Register of Historic Places. The 1.53acre cemetery is located at 3759 Friendship Road, near the intersection with Swansey Road which is about one mile north of the Gwinnett-Hall County line.

Friendship Community Baptist Church Inc. nominated the cemetery for inclusion on the register.

“Within the cemetery there several hundred graves, with a majority of those marked dating from 1855 to the 1960s,” supporters wrote in a nomination report on the site.

“A 2016 archaeological survey done on the property noted the potential for unmarked graves in the cemetery, and church history and records indicate that there are many.

“The unmarked graves are throughout the cemetery with a concentration located in the center, which is also the location of the oldest marked burials.”

Inclusion on Georgia Register of Historic Places

Fuzzy friends can get all their necessary shots while benefiting animals who need homes at the Gwinnett County Animal Welfare’s Vaccine Clinic this weekend.

Dogs and cats can visit the clinic at the Gwinnett shelter from 2 to 4 p.m. today. Dogs and cats can receive their bordatella and rabies shots for $10 each. Dogs can also get their DHPP and lepto shots and cats can receive their FVRCP for the same price.

is one step in the process to eventually get a property onto the National Register of Historic Places, which is managed by the National Park Service.

The Georgia National Register Review Board is tasked with looking over National Register nominations from across the state before they are forwarded on to park service officials for review.

State officials cited the cemetery’s age — it dates back to about 1854 — and funerary art which includes markers typically found between the early 19th to mid-20th centuries as reasons why it was added to the register.

Headstone materials found in the cemetery include concrete, sandstone, gran-

ite and marble.

Decorative items found on markers in the cemetery include crosses, doves, open gates to heaven, lambs, flowers, a crown and a cross, Masonic images and Woodman of the World symbols.

There are also footstones, obelisks and government-issued military veteran headstones.

State officials also said the cemetery is significant because it is “associated with the early settlement of southern Hall County and Friendship Baptist Church.”

The county was established in 1818, on the same day that Gwinnett County was established, and the church dates

back to about 1835. State officials said the church was not included with the cemetery on the register because of a lack of historic integrity.

State officials also pointed to the range of people buried in the cemetery as significant.

“Burials in the cemetery include early settlers, farmers and veterans of the Revolutionary War, Civil War, World War I, World War II, the Korean War and the Vietnam War,” supporters wrote in their nomination. “Many generations of families are buried here including five generations of the Hays and Puckett families, as well as other influential families in the settlement of Hall County.”

Importance of healthy probiotics in digestion Dear Dr. rOacH: Does stomach acid kill the live cultures in yogurt and kefir before they can enter the gut? If so, would drinking kefir immediately after waking in the morning, when stomach acid is nil, and following it with a cup of water work? Are entericcoated probiotic capsules effective? What is your opinion on the value of yogurt and kefir and the importance of well-balanced gut flora?

— R.L. aNsWer: Stomach acid does kill the majority of the healthy live bacteria found in some yogurts and kefirs (kefir is a fermented milk drink).

However, there are a lot of bacteria (hundreds of millions in a cup of yogurt), and some make it through the stomach, as proven by a study that showed the yogurt bacteria can make it all the way out through the other side of the gastrointestinal tract.

Interestingly, stomach acid is highest during fasting times, so the stomach is very acidic first thing in the morning.

However, food dilutes the stomach acid quickly.

From the standpoint of chemistry and physiology, I’d probably recommend something like toast or cereal with plenty of fluid, followed quickly by the source of healthy bacteria: kefir, yogurt or probiotic capsules. The last, however, are designed to dissolve in the intestine, allowing the majority of the probiotic (just a name for healthy bacteria) to be delivered to the small and large intestines where they work.

There is no question that a healthy gut flora is essential to digestive health, and probably to many other aspects of health. However, it’s not yet proven that probiotics are of value to healthy people. In people with irritable bowel syndrome, and some with inflammatory bowel disease with symptoms, probiotics may be of value. I don’t recommend them for healthy people with no symptoms. reaDers: The booklet on colon cancer provides useful information on the causes and cures of this common malady.

Sister wonders about forcing confession Dear amy: After more than 20 years of marriage, my husband and I divorced. During the marriage, my husband had a brief sexual affair with my sister. I did not find out until several years after the event. My husband confessed to the incident because he was feeling guilty. He confessed to other incidents, and after much counseling, we divorced.

I have given my sister every opportunity to fess up and apologize. I wanted to forgive her and for us to move on. She refused to acknowledge any role in this and I finally quit speaking to her several years ago.

She has a history of deceitful behavior, refuses to accept any responsibility for her misdeeds, and has always felt entitled.

She is the youngest and our parents didn’t do her any favors by not forcing her to have responsibilities like the rest. They enabled her behavior.

Now, my sister has medical problems and financial hardships. I am the only family member in a position to help.

No one has asked me to help, and I have not offered, but I want to help her. If I do, am I giving up my right to an apology and a request for forgiveness?

I don’t want to blackmail her into a confession and apology, but that is probably the only way I will ever get it, and it

friends, I have to wonder why you would want to be included within this noxious “girl” group.

You had an opportunity to behave in a way that would model pro-social and inclusive behavior when you held your own bachelorette party and chose not to invite them.

At this point, you could express yourself like a grown-up: “Hey, your exclusive behavior bothers me. Can we find ways to come closer together?”

All of you should behave more like grown women, and less like “girls.”

N. Korea official to U.N.: Trump on ‘a NFL chief, NBA suicide mission’ stars slam Trump The ongoing war of words between the United States and North Korea saw several new fiery salvos Saturday, a day on which the U.S. military, in a show of force, flew bombers in international airspace over waters east of North Korea.

The heated remarks also came on a day in which mysterious seismic activity in North Korea refueled concerns over the rogue nation’s nuclear ambitions.

North Korean Foreign Minister Ri Yong Ho, speaking before the United Nations, angrily responded to U.S. President Donald Trump’s U.N. remarks in which he referred to Kim Jong Un as “Rocket Man.” At the U.N., Ri said that Trump had made a missile attack on the U.S. mainland more inevitable by insulting the dignity of North Korea.

“None other than Trump himself is on a suicide mission,” Ri said in a speech at the U.N. General Assembly.

“In case innocent lives of the U.S. are harmed because of this suicide attack, Trump will be held totally responsible.”

New Zealand’s ruling party ahead in general election New Zealand’s ruling National Party is set to begin talks to form a new government, CNN affiliate Radio NZ reported, after preliminary results show it leading the main opposition Labour Party in Saturday’s general election.

National leads Labour 46 percent to 35.8 percent, according to a preliminary count released by the country’s Electoral Commission. The commission put the populist New Zealand First Party third with 7.5 percent of the vote and the Green Party fourth with 5.9 percent.

President Donald Trump came under harsh criticism Saturday from the NFL and some of the NBA’s top players after he blasted prominent athletes for kneeling during the national anthem and refusing to come to the White House, putting himself in the center of a controversy with significant racial and cultural undertones.

NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell slammed Trump in a statement Saturday morning, calling the president “divisive” for remarks he made at a rally in Alabama Friday night, while one of the most famous athletes in the world, LeBron James, called Trump a “bum” for his Saturday morning tweet uninviting Golden State Warriors’ Stephen Curry from visiting the White House.

The Golden State Warriors issued a statement later Saturday accepting Trump’s dis-invitation.

“While we intended to meet as a team at the first opportunity we had this morning to collaboratively discuss a potential visit to the White House, we accept that President Trump has made it clear that we are not invited,” the team said.

Spaceship chasing an asteroid slingshots past Earth

By AmAndA BArnett CNN

A spaceship sucessfully zipped by Earth on Friday and used our planet’s gravity to help it pick up speed on its way to explore an asteroid.

NASA’s OSIRIS-REx flew about 11,000 miles above Antarctica at 12:52 p.m.

The probe is scheduled to arrive at Bennu in August and will survey the asteroid for several months. Then, in July 2020, it will use its robot arm to blast the asteroid with nitrogen, causing it to kick up rocks and dust.

It will try to snag a sample of the dust to bring back to Earth in 2023.

NASA encouraged amateur astronomers with specialized gear to photograph OSIRIS-REx as it passed by and to share their photos with the space agency.

GCPS nurse named best in state

BY CAILIN O’BRIEN

cailin.obrien @gwinnettdailypost.com

The best school nurse in the state is caring for students in Gwinnett County Public Schools, according to the Georgia Association of School Nurses.

The statewide group recently named GCPS nurse Fran Overdyke School Nurse of the Year for 2017.

“It really is an honor,” Overdyke said.

As a school nurse, Overdyke is tasked with putting together emergency or treatment plans for students with special health needs and teaching the schools they attend how to properly carry those plans out.

“My job is to try to train the staff at the school to handle (students’ health) in a way that is going to keep them as happy and as safe as possible,” Overdyke said.

“And to keep them in class as much as possible.”

It’s a job that requires Overdyke and her fellow school nurses to have an extensive knowledge of a variety of medical issues.

“I don’t think the average person in our community knows what we have in our schools,” she said.

Overdyke said in a typical school year, she’ll see kids with severe allergies, diabetes, seizing disorders and cystic fibrosis. She helps parents, teachers and students deal with all these problems.

Every day, Overdyke and her fellow nurse visit multiple schools. They never know what kinds of emergencies she might be required to handle or what puzzles she might need to solve.

“Many, many years ago, I tried to plan a schedule where I’d be at one school for so many hours this day and then be at another school for so long,” Overdyke said.

“But a typical day is very atypical. A plan very seldom

pans out. Which is not necessarily a bad thing.”

For a little over 20 years before she started working as a nurse in schools, Overdyke was a hospital nurse. School nursing has become her favorite part of her career because of its often hectic challenges.

“I get to take my nursing experience and I get to put it into a very different setting,” Overdyke said. “It takes a lot of common sense and some people skills because I work

with principals and teachers and students. There’s never a dull moment.”

GCPS lead nurse Jennifer Poole Ross said Overdyke’s enthusiasm for school nursing has made her an asset to GCPS in the 16 years she’s worked there.

“She works diligently at each of the schools to which she is assigned to ensure that, through best practices, our students maintain their highest level of health in order to maximize educational outcomes,” Poole said.

But Overdyke said she’s not the only school nurse who fits that description. She said she considers herself lucky to work with each of the “talented and dedicated school nurses in GCPS.” That includes Joanne Giel, who won the School Nurse of the Year Award in 2015.

“We sort of have a trend of expertise, I feel,” Overdyke said. “It’s really an honor for our school system and the nurses I work with. We have an excellent group of nurses.

We are small, but mighty.”

Overdyke said she feels humbled to have followed in Giel’s footsteps. But she was never thinking of winning School Nurse of the Year while she bandaged tiny limbs or checked backs for scoliosis.

“It is very much an honor,” Overdyke said. “But it is interesting to me because I feel like I won this for doing my job, which is what I am supposed to do. I don’t know how to do it any other way.”

Those grounds include race, color, national origin, age, disability, sex, gender identity, religion, reprisal, political beliefs, marital status, familial or parental status, and sexual orientation. They can also not discriminate against some-

one if their income at least partially comes from a public assistance program.

As part of their official participation in the program, officials from Kids R Kids 36GA are also advising parents that they have options for filing a complaint if they feel discriminated against. That entails filling out a USDA Program Discrimination Complaint Form, which

can be obtained at www. ascr.usda.gov/complaint_ filing_cust.html or by visiting a USDA office.

The group from Coleman Middle School is being recognized for its “Coleman Biosphere,” a tool that uses the creation of a bio-dome to teach students about architecture and art as they relate to design. The biosphere also serves as a greenhouse where students learn about agriculture and an aquaculture-based farming system called aquaponics to grow food.

The students, in turn, will then distribute food raised in the biosphere to com-

Community connection

Public safety workers interact with residents at annual fall festival

By Cailin O’Brien

cailin.obrien@gwinnettdailypost.com

Alexander Dickens couldn’t get enough of the red boat parked outside Coolray Field on Saturday morning.

“I like driving the boat,” the 5-year-old said, as he turned the steering wheel.

“They use it to go in the water.”

The boat was just one of dozens of displays public safety agencies used to invite interaction with the public during the Public Safety Fall Festival on Saturday, an event designed to form bonds.

“They just get to have a good time with the police, which is rare,” said Gwinnett County Police Department Cpl. Deon Washington.

“We try to let people see that we’re human and that we enjoy having a great time just like everyone else.”

The Gwinnett County Police Department has been working on getting that message through the Public Safety Fall Festival for the past eight years — and it’s become an increasingly solid platform to do so.

Bridgette Butynski is the senior community educator at the Gwinnett County Department of Fire and Emergency Services. Her duties include helping to plan the fall festival. Butynski said based on past attendance numbers, she expected anywhere between 8,000 and 10,000 people to filter into CoolRay between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m.

As of about 11 a.m., Butynski was already impressed with the turnout.

“It’s easy to say we’ve got a couple thousand in here,” she said. “I haven’t seen any (exhibit) that hasn’t had a line.”

That’s saying something, according to Cpl. Eric Rooks, prevention coordinator at GCPD who helps

said the 4-year-old’s mom, Jenna Pickelsimer.

Pickelsimer’s husband works with Gwinnett County fire, so she already understands the humanity behind public safety uniforms. But she said her family still loves coming to these events for a little reminder.

“It feels like a safe place for (Jack) to come and play,” she said. “And we enjoy meeting other fire and police families.”

Pickelsimer’s toddler loved pretending to beat up Carter, and he enjoys meeting his dad’s work colleagues. But Pickelsimer said none of that can stand up to his favorite part of all public safety festivals — the fire trucks.

New Italian restaurant opening Oct. 1 in Peachtree Corners

By Curt yeOmans

curt.yeomans @gwinnettdailypost.com

The owners of a popular Mexican restaurant in Peachtree Corners are setting their sights on Italian dining in the city.

Taqueria del Mar operator Andrew Hoppen announced he will open his new fine Italian dining restaurant, Osteria

•From Page 1A to the fair.

“It’s not going to be our biggest year, I don’t think.

But it will be a big year,” Thurman said. “It’s hot. A lot of people don’t come out because of the heat.”

Saturday afternoon’s crowds endured temperatures upward of 85 degrees and breezes rarely stirred among the swing rides or over the Ferris wheel. Still, people made their way into the fairgrounds for their last chance to make fair memories this year.

Jeff Steele spent the afternoon looking at the livestock and the animals in the 4-H Farm Friends barn with his 5-year-old son, Hudson Grey Steele.

Elsewhere in the park, his daughter and her friends were riding “the big kid rides.”

Steele admitted it was “a little warm” in the fairgrounds but said he didn’t regret bringing his kids out to enjoy the fair in its last

di Mare, Oct. 1 about 100 yards away from his existing restaurant. The new eatery will be located at 5005 Peachtree Parkway, Suite 810, in the former Double Eagle sports bar location.

“When the prior operators approached me last June, I really had not considered a new restaurant,” Hoppen said in a statement. “But when I

saw the beautiful space and the absolutely stunning patio — and being a ‘foodie’ — I saw a void in the local market and decided to do a fine Italian dining destination that focused on fresh seafood, prime steaks and house-made pastas.”

The new restaurant will be open nightly Tuesdays through Sundays, but Sundays will also be set

aside as family days, or “Giorno della famiglia.”

Hoppen, who has two young daughters, said that he wanted to limit nightly dinners that are served to the under 12 set during most of the week, but he also said he felt Sundays should be different.

“Sunday is a day meant to be with family, and we will open for both brunch

“It’s just good family time,” Steele said.

Steele’s son had already gotten to experience his two favorite fair exhibits for the year.

“The Ferris wheel,” Hudson Grey said. “And I like the pigs. I love stinky.”

Hudson Grey seemed satisfied, but other fairgoers craved the opportunity to experience their favorite rides and exhibits a few more times as the fair dwindled to a close.

and dinner inviting all ages,” he said.

Hoppen also said he wanted to do fresh, house made pasta at Osteria di Mare because there weren’t many restaurants in the Atlanta area doing that, so he brought a fresh pasta machine from Italy. He said it is a continuation of an approach to food that he took at Taqueria del Mar.

Asa Barnhard, 5, said he wanted to go through the haunted house attraction one more time.

His sister wasn’t quite so sure she wanted to join him.

“I was leaning against him. I was scared. I was screaming and crying,” she said. “He was just like, ‘This is awesome.’”

Thurman said its not unusual for fairgoers to keep reliving their favorite fair experiences — and retrying some scary ones — during the fair’s last hours.

“We’ll be going strong up until the moment we close,” Thurman said.

“In most cases, they’ll be wanting to ride and stay longer when we have to shut down on Sunday night.”

Thurman welcomes those last-minutes stragglers. In fact, he encouraged anybody who hadn’t experienced the Gwinnett County Fair yet this year to join him for its last night on Sunday.

“You’ve still got a chance to see it before it leaves,” he said.

of families who the city chairman said are moving there so they can send their children to its schools.

Beard said the city has tried to stay ahead of its growth, and he estimated Buford might not need to build the school at the site for five to seven years.

“It may not even be that long,” he said. “It depends on how fast subdivisions develop … There’s a good bit of growth out there. It depends on the economy how fast it grows, but its growing real fast now because everybody wants in our schools now.

“They’re kicking our doors down wanting to get their kids in Buford schools because, right now, the schools are ranked as the best in the state.”

As new neighborhoods are approved and built in Buford, they quickly fill up with homeowners, the city’s commission chairman said. The U.S. Census Bureau’s 2016 population estimate for the city shows more than 2,000 people are believed to have moved to Buford over a six-year period after the 2010 Census was taken.

The agency estimated 14,356 people lived in Buford as of July 1, 2016.

By comparison, the city went from having 10,668 residents when the 2000 Census was taken to 12,225 residents a decade later, according to the 2010 Census.

‘You can always do things to help’

Sister fills in at swimming event for brother recovering from cancer

BY COLIN HUBBARD Staff Correspondent

BUFORD — Mikayla Klerk suited up Saturday for her first-ever half-mile swim meet at Lake Lanier as a competitor in Atlanta’s annual Swim Across America event.

But it wasn’t just an average race for the oldest sibling in the Klerk family.

Mikayla was racing in place of her younger brother Kyle, who is an osteosarcoma bone cancer survivor. Over 1,000 people came from all over the state, with nearly 600 competing in at least one of the swimming events to help raise money for childhood cancer.

The goal was to raise over $500,000 by today, and that number is expected to be exceeded by the weekend’s end.

Mikayla, who had already raised over $1,000 on her own, stood on stage with her mom, Deeann, and Kyle before setting off to swim.

The shy, reserved Mikayla sat and watched her outgoing, exuberant brother deliver a pre-race speech about his battles with cancer, along with some of the good and bad

before doing so.

“I have a card that has some points that I’m going to hit, but mostly it’s going to be improv,” he said.

One of the things that he mentioned while speaking to the crowd was how he would get other kids out of their beds at the hospital and take them down the halls to hang out with them.

mom that it was the first time some of their children had smiled in a long time after meeting Kyle.

Mikayla was very excited to be competing in the race — not only for herself, but for what it represented as well.

“It means a lot to me,” she said. “Curing childhood cancer would be a lovely thing. He (Kyle) is one of the ones that

came out alive and with a positive attitude. He didn’t really have any side effects with the chemo, but there are a lot of kids that do.

So that is what this event is for, to raise money for kids that might not have as good of circumstances as him.”

Kyle said it meant a lot to him that his sister was racing for him, just for the fact that she was his sister.

And while Mikayla hadn’t competed in anything as long as the halfmile race at Lanier, she was confident she would finish.

“At practice we’ve done 250s at like the most, so nowhere near this long,” she said. “But I think I can do it, so I’m excited.”

Mikayla might not be the most outgoing person like her brother is, but she is far from quiet when it comes to doing things for others, no matter what that may be.

“I do things like this event,” she said. “I do a lot of service at my church.

Just to know that you can always do things to help, whether you have cancer or you don’t, that always makes me feel better.”

To add to the fun, 16 Olympic swimmers made it out to the Swim Across America event to sign autographs and meet with kids. The Olympians included two-time Olympian, and six-time Olympic medalist Missy Franklin, as well as Steve Lundquist, Doug Gjertsen, Heather Petri and Kristy Kowal.

Kyle and Mikayla had an opportunity to meet Franklin and dance with her in Friday night’s VIP event. Both siblings really enjoyed being able to do that.

Franklin competed in the 5K race at Lanier on Saturday and was greeted by a large crowd at the finish line. Franklin delivered some kind words after exiting the water about her time spent at local hospitals over the last day and being able to meet so many wonderful children.

Kyle wasn’t able to compete in any of the big races after breaking one of the titanium screws that was surgically placed in his arm. He is set to have surgery to repair the screw Oct. 10, but that wasn’t going to stop him from swimming in the Duck Splash, an ultra-short swim that featured some of the events’ youngest competitors.

Kyle was eager to get in the water and wasted little

time making that happen on every opportunity he got Saturday.

It has been just over a year since Kyle found out that he had osteosarcoma.

The family found out after Kyle was hit by a soccer ball in the arm before a swim practice.

He was taken to the doctor that same day, where the family was told something wasn’t right.

That didn’t stop Kyle from competing in a swim meet that same night, an event in which he finished second, before finding out that his arm was virtually a slight bend away from breaking.

Luckily, Kyle’s arm never broke, and he was able to get treatment right away.

“The first thing that hit my mind before anyone else’s was ‘Does he have cancer?’ when they said that his bone was deteriorating,” Mikayla said.

“And that was kind of scary.”

Kyle even won $20 in a bet with a nurse that he would complete his treatment by February.

Kyle needed only one blood transfusion, which is practically unheard of, according to his mom.

He was able to complete a projected six months of physical therapy in less than three months.

Kyle still has to recover from his upcoming surgery but hopes to be back in the water and swimming in no time. But he’s got plenty of things to keep him busy until that day comes.

“Throughout it, I decided that I was going to find at least one good thing in each day,” Kyle said. “So that’s what kind of helped me not go completely crazy.”

Reading, playing video games and watching Netflix are some of the things Kyle has done to keep him from “going crazy,” he said.

Kyle had a message for anyone that is going through cancer and hopes a cure for childhood cancer is found in the near future.

“I would just say, try to find something good about each day, try to stay happy, and try chess,” he said.

“Chess helps, especially when you can beat your mom in less than five minutes.”

You can find the Klerks at a local Hanarry West Dolphins swim team event, where both siblings hope to continue doing what they do best — swim.

Diamond — a member of Alpha Gamma Delta — chose recycling, and quickly learned that the majority of sorority and fraternity houses on campus weren’t recycling following a string of renovations to their properties.

“It just really, just bothered me a lot,” she said. “I decided that since (the fellowship program) was going to give me the opportunity to make some type of significant impact, that’s what I would try and do.”

Diamond surveyed 400 women in sororities to get their thoughts on

recycling. She learned that the majority of Greek organizations were not opting out of the recycling program out of apathy, but rather because they didn’t know how to get involved with it.

She put together a presentation for University of Alabama Special Property Management and Recycling senior executive director Tony Johnson, who offered her an internship to help attack the problem.

They put together a pilot program last spring that included two fraternities and two sororities.

The recycling department

supplied everything free of cost to the on-campus houses, providing the bins — now brighter, thanks to Diamond — and having the department of health and safety approve of locations for the bins.

This fall the program is open to all on-campus Greek houses. Diamond figured creating a competition would be the best way to increase participation. Once the house mother agrees to help implement recycling, each house is given a specific number on its bags, See GREEN, Page 12A

which are weighed when they are returned to the recycling center to track which house is leading the way.

So far the participation has been good, although Diamond said she didn’t have an exact number for how many organizations were participating.

“My goal is to have every on-campus sorority and fraternity house to have recycling inside the house,” she said. “There’s a lot that we’re not capturing. Our university does a really wonderful job of (waste) diversion, and we make a lot of money from our recycling, which enables us to generate jobs here in Tuscaloosa — and getting to know the people who do those jobs, that’s another big motivator for me. So I’d just like to increase our diversion rates as much as possible.

I know that our Greek community is like a third of the campus, so it can make a huge impact.”

Diamond said the participation more times than not comes down to the willingness of the house mothers to jump on board. She spends about 10 hours each week at her internships and is on track to graduate in the spring.

She’s also working with Johnson on ways to better improve recycling on campus during home football games, while also studying for the GRE and the LSAT, with the hopes of potentially going into environmental law.

“What I’m actually really interested in is water law and water policy,” she said. “I’m taking some cool classes about that this semester.”

He was asked about his opposition to a hate crimes bill when he was a state senator. He told the panel that part of the bill contradicted a U.S. Supreme Court ruling that only a jury could determine if a criminal act was a hate crime.

Georgia, so Sens. Johnny Isakson and David Perdue introduced both men.

The other nominee was Michael Brown. Both men were nominated by President Donald Trump earlier this year.

“Billy is from Gwinnett County, Ga., and served in the Georgia State Senate for six years, went from there to the Superior Court of Gwinnett County and from there to the Court of Appeals in Georgia, and has been an outstanding participant in the bench all of those times,” Isakson said.

Perdue praised both Ray and Brown in his remarks.

“I’m proud to support both of these impressive nominees without reservation and applaud the president for his selection of two such qualified and well-regarded Georgians to fill these seats on the federal bench in my state,” he said. “This is a high honor to introduce both of these candidates from Georgia.”

During the hearing, Ray was one of four federal judge nominees who were questioned at the same time.

“I’d like to thank President Trump for his nomination of me, and for the support that both Sen. Isakson and Sen. Perdue have given me in forwarding my name to the White House for consideration,” Ray said.

He also thanked his fellow judges on the Gwinnett County Superior Court and the Georgia Court of Appeals.

The U.N. was once ‘useless,’ now useful While campaigning for the presidency, Donald Trump more than once referred to the United Nations as a “useless” organization and “not a friend of democracy.”

In his speech Tuesday to the 72nd Session of the United Nations General Assembly, he apparently has discovered the often dysfunctional body can be useful, if it adopts the reforms he is proposing and accepts an agenda that includes uniting to stop North Korea from obtaining nuclear weapons and Cal missiles to strike at U.S Thomas and other targets.

This may have been Trump’s finest speech as president. Written by Stephen Miller, Trump’s senior policy adviser, it was clear about the president’s objectives and concise about how he and any nations that wish to join him might hope to achieve them.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu could barely stay in his seat.

He said of the president’s address: “In over 30 years in my experience with the U.N., I never heard a bolder or more courageous speech. President Trump spoke the truth about the great dangers facing our world and issued a powerful call to confront them in order to ensure the future of humanity.”

Using his new nickname for North Korean dictator Kim Jong-Un, Trump said the “rocket man” is on a “suicide mission” and that if he persists in his nuclear ambitions, North Korea will be “destroyed.” How to do this without causing massive civilian deaths is the question. Trump framed the issue as one of good vs. evil: “If the righteous many do not confront the wicked few, then evil will triumph. When decent people and nations become bystanders to history, the forces of destruction only gather power and strength.”

While thanking Russia and China for voting to stiffen sanctions against North Korea in the Security Council, the president also criticized both nations: “We must reject threats to sovereignty, from Ukraine to the South China Sea,” an apparent reference to the Russian occupation of the former Soviet territory and China’s opposition to an independent Taiwan.

The “corrupt and destabilizing regime in Cuba” was also a target, noting his recent announcement no sanctions would be lifted against the communist regime “until it makes fundamental reforms.”

Venezuela has been brought “to the brink of total collapse” by the socialist dictator Nicolas Maduro. The president said that regime “has destroyed a prosperous nation by imposing a failed ideology that has brought poverty and misery everywhere it has been tried.”

To defenders of socialism, he said, “The problem in Venezuela is not that socialism has been poorly implemented, but that socialism has been faithfully implemented.”

On Afghanistan, the president said, “from now on, our security interests will dictate the length and scope of military operations — not arbitrary benchmarks and timetables,” a clear reference to the policy of former President Obama.

He called Iran a “murderous regime,” which “masks a corrupt dictatorship behind the false guise of a democracy.”

He called the Iran nuclear deal made by the Obama administration, “one of the worst and most one-sided transactions the United States has ever entered into” and while not vowing to immediately cancel it, he added, “don’t think you’ve heard the last of it.”

There was praise for the U.N.’s humanitarian work and a call for all nations to protect the idea of sovereignty, security and success for themselves as the best guarantee of peace.

Clearly, the president was trying to mobilize a lethargic world body to act in its own and the world’s best interests.

He laid out the threats and the opportunities. The question is will enough of the non-rogue nations acknowledge them and act to eradicate the threats they pose, while taking advantage of the opportunities freedom offers?

Browsing through the hate mail When you write your opinions every week, as I have for the past 20 years or so, and have them published in newspapers along with your name and picture, you tend to rub people the wrong way from time to time.

At least you should. If you are writing an opinion with which everyone agrees, I am betting that’s a pretty boring opinion.

Most people, I presume, just quit reading and set the paper aside or turn to the funny papers or sports page or shake their head and say, “What an idiot!”

Some people, however, go to great lengths to write me letters and e-mails explaining exactly why I am an idiot. If these letters are too lengthy I don’t read them at all. Actually, truth be told, I seldom read any of them. I have a guy who reads and deletes them from my account before I see them so I won’t get my feelings hurt. I cry easily.

Of course, these people just about always hide behind a mask of anonymity.

Once in a great while, however, when I need a good laugh, I browse the hate mail to see what the haters have to say. Today I thought I might share a few of those humiliating letters with you, just to keep myself humble.

I’m also sharing my response.

Bob Dear Bob, I’d love to come to your aunt’s church, and I won’t mind not shaking your hand at all.

You can’t make this stuff up, y’all. Of course there are a lot of letters that are just too vile and hateful to publish in a family newspaper. What follows is my favorite letter of the fall, though.

“Huck, All you write about is Georgia. Will you please say something good about Georgia Tech football sometime.”

Charley Dear Charley, No. Keep those cards and letters coming, y’all. And I’ll keep writing exactly what I think.

Reflections on an ill wind named Irma It is hard to know what to write about when you have been through the likes of Irma.

Maybe it was “only” a tropical storm when it hit Georgia and not the powerful hurricane that ripped through Florida, but it was bad enough, as many of you can attest. I will return to my acerbic roots soon, I promise, but not today. Nothing funny about disasters.

If Irma accomplished anything besides tossing trees on houses, ripping off roofs, bringing down power lines and generally scaring us silly, she helped put things in perspective, as well as bring out our better side.

For me, she was a little late in her tutorial on perspective.

Been there. Got that. It seems that I was one lucky soul following my recent bout with sepsis. I have been informed by medical professionals that the mortality rate for people “my age” (ouch!) is about 70 percent. One reason I am given for being among the 30 percent is because I was in excellent physical condition, given that I have my own home gym and work out an hour a day. (“My age?” Piffle.)

Not too long ago, I was at a small luncheon with Georgia’s senior senator Johnny Isakson.

No political figure I admire more. He is a throwback to the

recall a bunch of stunned senators standing on the steps of the Capitol, holding hands and singing “God Bless America?”

— until the shock wore off and we got back to our old whiny, selfish selves.

In no way do I compare Irma to that dark time except Dick that for a few days she caused Yarbrough us to put aside our differences and emphasized our goodness.

Even Donald Trump has shown days of another of my political signs of being presidential, and heroes, Sam Nunn, who could the national news media hasn’t reach across the aisle and get yet figured out a way to make things accomplished for the that look like a bad thing. Give good of those he serves. I could them time. say more good things about In Georgia, more than one Sen.

As of this writing, that who practice that art form, number has been drastically except for Johnny Isakson. She reduced, thanks to Georgia loves him to pieces.

Georgia National Guard. These are citizen-soldiers — teachers, accountants, mechanics, police officers, doctors, etc. — who answer their call to duty when required. They don’t get enough credit for what they do.

High marks also to Georgia Gov. Nathan Deal and his staff for their coordination of all the agencies — local and state — involved in the aftermath of Irma. Think that is an easy job?

Try it sometime. I have liked the quiet and assuring demeanor the governor has exhibited during the chaotic times before, during and after Irma. That’s why he earns the big bucks.

But most all, Irma has given us all a chance to do good deeds. Neighbors firing up their chainsaws and helping out their stranded neighbors. People lucky enough to have electricity preparing hot food for those without. Volunteer groups providing shelter to those needing it, including pets. The rest of us opening up our pocketbooks so that they can.

So adios, Irma. You were an ill wind, but you did remind us what is important. I wish we would never forget it.

North defense shuts down high-powered Bears

By Will Hammock will.hammock@ gwinnettdailypost.com

LAWRENCEVILLE — Mountain View encountered little resistance on its first possession Friday night.

Quarterback Matt Edwards completed all six passes, the last a touchdown to Malachi Carter, and the host Bears jumped on top of visiting North Gwinnett barely more than two minutes into the teams’ Region 6-AAAAAAA opener.

“When they scored the first touchdown, I thought,

‘Uh-oh, it’s going to be a long night,’” North head coach Bill Stewart said.

“I really did. They’re so

talented on the outside and with the quarterback and everything.”

In some ways, it was a

long night. North lost leading rusher Tyler Goodson to an injury after six carries. It racked up 17 penalties for 136 yards — not counting the ones that were declined or were offsetting.

But the Bulldogs’ defense took care of things.

North shut down the dominant Mountain View offense and scored twice in the fourth quarter for a 27-14 victory, improving to 8-0 all-time against the previously unbeaten Bears.

“I thought our kids were very resilient,” Stewart said. “We got behind, but we were resilient.

… The defense played great. That’s a credit to those guys and what they did. The secondary played great. Coach (Jeff) Carlberg and Coach Eric Wright, they did a great job with those guys. We knew it was going to be that kind of a game, right down to the wire.

“We had so many penalties. I’ve never been penalized that much in my life, but we fought through it.

We played through it. That was what was important, we just kept responding. (Penalties) put us in some bad positions and

we’ve got to clean that up, whether we like the calls or not.”

The Bulldogs (4-1, 1-0) got a defensive touchdown in the first half when Jayden McDonald returned an interception 61 yards for a game-tying score and Cameron Clark added a short field goal for a 10-7 halftime lead.

An errant punt snap led to a safety and a 12-7 lead, but a North fumble created another deficit late in the third quarter.

Mill Creek rolls past Collins Hill in region opener

By Brandon Brigman Staff Correspondent

PREP FOOTBALL

HOSCHTON — Mill Creek has been the premier program in Region 7 the last two years, winning a pair of titles. The Hawks showed no signs of relinquishing the crown on Friday in its region opener.

Uriah Leverette rushed for 152 yards and two touchdowns, the defense had a pair of scores and No. 7-ranked Mill Creek rolled past Collins Hill 45-13 for the fourthstraight season.

“I was pleased with what I saw tonight,” Mill Creek head coach Shannon Jarvis said.

“Offensively, we didn’t convert some fourth downs, but we wanted to be aggressive tonight. We wanted to get our kids a little more aggressive.

we played.”

After having its 28-game regular-season winning streak snapped against Archer two weeks ago, Mill Creek (4-1, 1-0) extended its region winning streak to 19 games, dating back to 2014. The Hawks will play next week at North Gwinnett, the last team to beat Mill Creek in region play. The Bulldogs are now coached by former Mill Creek defensive

coordinator Bill Stewart.

“I’m proud of the step we took forward tonight. Lord knows we’re going to have to take another step against North,” Jarvis said.

Collins Hill (2-3, 0-1) had 251 yards of offense, but 154 of those yards came on two plays. The Eagles had a 75yard touchdown pass and a 79-yard touchdown run. The run was against the Hawks’ second-team defense with 2:10 left in the third quarter.

“We knew they had big-play capability and we couldn’t have any busts. Credit to them, we did, and they took it to the house,” Jarvis said. “We gave up a couple of big plays, but overall our defense played good.”

Top-ranked Rams steamroll Florida visitors

By Alex ABrAms Staff Correspondent

LOGANVILLE — Grayson quarterback D.J. Irons flipped a shovel pass to Jaquavious Lane as the senior raced across the field on a play known as Delta Hot. In a sign of what was to come, Lane found plenty of open space and had no trouble scoring a 39-yard touchdown on the Rams’ first play from scrimmage.

There wasn’t much the International School of Broward could do Friday night, and the undersized Pumas only made their problems worse as Grayson cruised to a 74-0 rout that could’ve gotten worse without the mercy rule.

“We just knew that was the play because their defensive line sucked in, and we just took advantage of the outside,” Irons said on his first of four touchdown passes in the first quarter.

Grayson (4-0) faced little resistance in jumping out to a 43-0 lead in the first quarter. The Rams scored touchdowns on five of their six offensive possessions, including three on one-play scoring drives.

Irons was pulled after throwing his fourth TD pass of the first quarter, finishing 6 of 10 for 137 yards. But Grayson’s highpowered offense continued to easily drive downfield with junior J’Kori Jones under center.

On his second pass attempt, Jones connected

Jones threw two more first-half TD passes, helping Grayson score 23 points in the second quarter and head into halftime leading 66-0.

The Rams had 263 yards of total offense in the first half to the Pumas’ negative-77.

“We just wanted to make sure we got everybody in the game, make sure that everybody got to play,” Grayson coach Christian Hunnicutt said, downplaying his team’s lopsided win to remain undefeated.

Nothing seemed to go right for the International

School of Broward (1-2), which has only 26 players on its roster and missed its past two games because of Hurricane Irma.

The Pumas fumbled a pair of kickoff returns and allowed the Rams to score on three safeties in the first quarter.

Making matters worse, International School of Broward quarterback Tyrell Brantley faced constant pressure and tried to handle bad snaps that often soared over his head.

Brantley had eight carries for negative-76 yards in the first quarter.

“My team doesn’t miss tackles like that. This is like one of the worst games I’ve seen them play in a long time,” International School of Broward coach Charles McRae said. “But we’ll bounce back.

“We’ve just got to get it together. Grayson is a great, great team.”

Not to be outshined by the offense, Grayson’s defense and special teams made sure to also get involved in the scoring onslaught.

During a three-minute stretch in the second quarter, junior Jalen Alexander returned an interception 20 yards for a touchdown and the Rams got their fourth safety of the first half to build a 59-0 lead.

Brookwood cruises to 300th win in program history By michAel Allen

BROOKWOOD 63, BERKMAR 6

Staff Correspondent

SNELLVILLE — A week after celebrating a big win over Colquitt County, Friday was a festive night for Brookwood football.

The Broncos celebrated homecoming with a 63-6 win over Angelo Berkmar DiSpigna at Dave Hunter Complex.

With former coaches Hunter and Mark Crews in attendance, Brookwood also celebrated the school’s 300th victory in varsity football with a postgame performance by the band and the cheerleaders’ release of 300 balloons into the night sky.

The win was huge for Brookwood head coach

Philip Jones, a linebacker on the 1996 state championship team under Hunter.

“I’ve been a part of the Brookwood family since I was 8 years old, so to

see it get its 300th win is enormous,” Jones said. “To get to add to this tradition has been an absolute blast and an honor.”

Brookwood got the party started with a touchdown on its opening drive.

The Broncos went 63 yards on six plays, capped by quarterback Angelo DiSpigna’s seven-yard pass to Nick Prince for the score.

After the defense forced a three out on Berkmar’s first drive, DiSpigna and the offense kept the momentum going.

On the second play of the drive, DiSpigna took a play action fake, rolled out of the pocket and found a wide-open Matthew Hill for a 49-yard score to put the Broncos (3-2, 1-0 7-AAAAAAA) up 14-0 with 7:06 left in the first quarter.

The Patriots (0-5, 0-1 7-AAAAAAA), who have

lost 27 consecutive games to Brookwood, showed signs of life on their next drive.

Berkmar engineered an impressive 17-play, 78-yard drive that ended on fourth-and-goal from the four when quarterback Donte Henry faked a keeper and tossed a jump pass to a wide-open Xzavier Ward for a touchdown.

However, the gap remained 14-6 after the Patriots failed the two-point conversion.

The score seemed to be wake-up call for Brookwood, which went on to score 49 unanswered points.

In fact, the Broncos responded on the very next play when T.J. Ellis returned the ensuing kickoff 75 yards for a touchdown to put Brookwood ahead 21-6.

After another quick Patriots three and out, the

Broncos capped a threeplay drive when Dante Black took a handoff for a 24 yard touchdown to give Brookwood a 28-6 lead at the half.

The Broncos put the game completely out of reach with a 28-point third quarter.

DiSpigna dished touchdown passes of 25 and 29 yards to Prince and Chris Cotter.

After Cotter’s score, the Patriots couldn’t corral the ensuing kickoff. Broncos linebacker Anthony Gorney recovered on the goal line and Black took a handoff for a touchdown on the next play.

Chris Carter capped the third quarter run with a 41yard touchdown run with 5:52 in the third quarter and Ellie Lacour’s first extra point of the season made it 56-6.

Jones said his team was still on a high from last

week’s win over Colquitt in the first half.

“I think we were still on an emotional high from last week, it was a challenge to get em to focus this week in practice,” Jones said. “We played a lot smoother and a lot cleaner in the second half, so I’m proud of our kids for regrouping at the half and correcting some of the mistakes we made in the first half.”

DiSpigna finished 6-for6 for 157 yards and four touchdowns.

Black had six carries for 51 yards and two touchdowns, while Prince finished with four receptions for 79 yards and two scores.

Lacour, who was the first girl to score a point in a Brookwood football game last year, converted her first two extra points of the season in the third and fourth quarters.

to give the Panthers the ball at the Jackets’ 33.

But the Tech defense stiffened, allowing Pittsburgh only a single yard in the ensuing three plays and dodged the bullet when Alex Kessman’s 50-yard field goal attempt sailed wide right.

And the Jackets D remained tough the rest of the half, allowing Pitt just 57 total yards and two first downs the rest of the half.

“After the first drive, everyone down on the sidelines, it was just motivating and saying, ‘Let’s pick this up,’” Freeman said. “That shouldn’t have happened, so everybody just let the game slow down, focus and do what you’ve got to do. So that’s what everybody focused on, and then it changed for the better.”

The Tech option attack also started to get better behind Marshall and Benson.

The latter was the primary focus of the first drive, running four times for 26 yards during the seven-play, 68-yard march.

Norcross grad Clinton Lynch picked up a big fourth-down conversion with a 16-yard gain to keep the drive alive, which Marshall finished by tightroping the right sideline for a 32-yard TD run that pulled the Jackets even at 7-all with 6:29 left in the opening frame.

Later in the period, Marshall engineered a 13play, 79-yard march that carried over in the second quarter before the junior quarterback pulled off the most electrifying play of the game.

The 5-foot-10, 180-pound junior brought the Bobby Dodd Stadium crowd to its collective feet by undressing a Pitt defender with a spin move as he rolled 18 yards to the Panthers’ 1.

Marshall then sneaked in from a yard out to give the Jackets a 14-7 lead with 13:48 left in the first half.

Benson later scored from 5 yards out with 51 seconds left in the half, but Tech couldn’t get out of its own way enough to take a big lead into intermission.

Another fumble, this one by freshman B-back Jerry Howard, thwarted another Jackets drive in Pitt territory, while Henderson sped around the left end for an 80-yard punt return for a score with 8:05 left in the half.

And when Kessman connected on a 55-yard field goal as time expired in the half, Tech went to the locker room with just a 21-17 lead.

They kept that lead thanks to continued domination by the defense, who gave up a first down on Pitt’s first possession of the third quarter, but then held the Panthers without another first down in the second half until there were fewer than six minute remaining.

And despite two more fumbles — one by Benson and another by Quaide Weimerskirch — Tech was finally able to gain breathing room, with both B-backs redeeming themselves.

Weimerskirch capped an eight-play, 57-yard drive with his 31-yard TD run that pushed the Jackets’ lead to 28-17 with 6:40 left in the third quarter.

Then, after the defense forced another punt following Benson’s second fumble, the redshirt sophomore from Marietta got his chance at redemption.

And he took it, bursting through the line for the 47-yard score with 5:37 to play that put the game away at 35-17.

“That big run I had, it was an amazing feeling,” said Benson, whose 196 yards were the most in a single game by a B-back in the Paul Johnson era.

“It got a load off me. It felt really good coming off the fumble. It was an opportunity to make a play to come back.”

UGA rolls to statement win

By Colin HuBBard

Staff Correspondent

ATHENS — On what many figured to be a surefire run play on third-and-1 from the Mississippi State 41-yard line, Jake Fromm dropped back and floated a ball over the middle of the field to a wide-open Bulldog.

His target — former Buford Wolves tight end Isaac Nauta — hauled in the pass and carried a defender on his back en route to a 41-yard touchdown to put the Bulldogs up 28-3 midway through the third quarter.

That play turned out to be the nail in the coffin as the No. 11-ranked Bulldogs rolled to a 31-3 win at home over No.17 Mississippi State to improve to 4-0 on the season.

Fromm finished with 201 yards on 9 of 12 passing and two touchdowns.

Georgia’s high-octane rushing attack (203 yards) did its job, too, but it was the performance of the defense that stole the show.

Mississippi State, the second-ranked SEC scoring offense that waltzed into Sanford Stadium averaging 493 total yards per game, was held to a season-low 280 yards.

The Bulldogs forced State into four three-andout drives and intercepted quarterback Nick Fitzgerald (83 yards passing on 14 of 29) twice.

After a three-and-out to from State to start the game, Fromm connected with Terry Godwin on a 59-yard flea-flicker touchdown pass on Georgia’s first play from scrimmage to put the Bulldogs up 7-0 early.

Georgia made it 14-0 on its next possession, this time after an eight-play, 78-yard drive capped off by a 7-yard touchdown run from Nick Chubb (14 carries for 81 yards).

State finally managed to muster up some offense and hit a 26-yard field goal

to cut the Bulldog lead to 14-3 with 1:14 remaining before halftime.

Despite having the ball for three minutes fewer than State, the Bulldogs out-gained it 231 to 133 in total yards of offense.

And things only got worse for State in the third quarter.

Both of Fitzgerald’s interceptions came in the third quarter — the first by Deandre Baker and the second by Dominick Sanders.

Chubb got things rolling for UGA on its opening possession of the third

quarter with a 28-yard touchdown run to extend the lead to 21-3.

Nauta’s only catch of the game ballooned the Bulldog lead to 28-3 with his dazzling 41-yard score, and a 49-yard FG from Rodrigo Blankenship rounded out the scoring.

With the win, the Bulldogs will be looking to start 5-0 for the first time since 2012 when they travel to Knoxville, Tenn., next Saturday to take on the Volunteers in their first SEC East game of the season.

Lions aiming to slow Freeman-led ground game The SporTS Xchange DETROIT — Matt Ryan is coming off an MVP season and Julio Jones may be the best wide receiver in the NFL, but the Detroit Lions insist their first order of business this week is to stop Devonta Freeman and the Falcons’ running game.

“You definitely want to stop just shutting down that stretch sideways zone scheme because Freeman’s made a killing off that in his four years in Atlanta,” Lions defensive tackle Akeem Spence said.

“That’s the first thing we’ve got to stop, and then get after Matt Ryan. If we stop that then you saw last week was a result, the week before was a result of what we can do once we make a team one dimensional.”

The Lions are one of eight 2-0 teams left in the NFL thanks in part to a rush defense that ranks fourth in the league at just 53.5 yards per game.

They held David Johnson to just 23 yards rushing in three quarters before he left with a wrist injury in the season opener, then limited the Giants to 62 yards on the ground on Monday night.

Defensive ends Ziggy Ansah, Anthony Zettel and Cornelius Washing-

and keep them inside so your people that are pursuing can keep their angles and make plays for you,” Caldwell said. “And our guys have done OK at this point in time. I mean, any time that you see the run totals down, you know we’ve done a decent job.

But we can get better.”

The Lions lead the NFL in red-zone percentage through two weeks, converting all four of their red-zone possessions into touchdowns.

Caldwell said it’s too early to draw any definitive conclusions about how much better the Lions are inside their opponents’ 20-yard line this year, but quarterback Matthew Stafford said there’s reason to believe the strides they’ve made are sustainable.

“When you can run the ball down there it really helps,” Stafford said.

Winless Saints search for answers against Panthers The SporTS Xchange CHARLOTTE, N.C. — The Carolina Panthers made the most of their limited offense through two games.

They might need more to defeat a New Orleans Saints team that often has good production against the Panthers.

The teams will meet this afternoon at Bank of America Stadium in the first NFC South matchup for each this season.

The game is more critical for the Saints (0-2), who stumbled against the Minnesota Vikings and the New England Patriots.

“These guys are grown men, and they understand the sense of urgency we have to play with and we have to practice with now starting with two losses,” New Orleans coach Sean Payton said.

The Panthers (2-0) haven’t allowed a touchdown through two games, but they are waiting for their offense to click with more regularity. A 9-3 victory over the Buffalo Bills last Sunday was the result of three field goals.

“We’ve still given ourselves an opportunity,” Carolina coach Ron Rivera said. “It’s tough to win in the league when all you do is kick field goals.”

The Panthers will try to pick up the production without All-Pro tight end Greg Olsen, who will be out for at least a couple of months after surgery for a broken right foot he sustained last weekend. That likely moves Ed Dickson into the role as the primary tight end.

BALTIMORE (2-0) AT JACKSONVILLE (1-1) Kickoff: Today, 9:30 a.m.

Keys to the game: The Ravens are confident they have

a successful blueprint for attacking opponents: play dominant defense, run the ball effectively and let quarterback Joe Flacco take an occasional shot downfield. Baltimore won’t deviate from this plan, especially with the challenging logistics of playing its first-ever game overseas.

The Ravens will likely use a tight end to help with Jacksonville’s aggressive pass rush, which leads the league with 11 sacks.

Baltimore will return the favor by pressuring Jaguars quarterback Blake Bortles and forcing him to make mistakes. The Ravens lead the NFL with a plus-7 turnover ratio.

The loss of Allen Robinson was a huge blow to the Jaguars’ passing game and that was shown a week ago when the Jaguars had less than 100 yards through the air after three quarters.

DENVER (2-0) AT BUFFALO (1-1) Kickoff: Today, 1 p.m.

Keys to the game: The Broncos have jumped out to a 2-0 start under first-year coach Vance Joseph, who inherited a talent-laden roster from Gary Kubiak. This marks Joseph’s first road trip with his team after posting back-to-back home wins over the Los Angeles Chargers and Dallas Cowboys to open the year.

Denver is No. 3 in the NFL with 33 points per game, and quarterback Trevor Siemian (450 passing yards, six touchdowns, two interceptions) has a terrific 106.9 passer rating. If the Broncos can protect the ball against the Bills, their superior personnel — e.g., wide receiver Demaryius Thomas (11 catches, 138 yards) and running back C.J. Anderson (199 rushing yards, 1 TD) — should be able to set the tone. An ankle injury to Bills defensive Marcell Dareus only adds to the Bills’ cause for concern.

PITTSBURGH (2-0) AT CHICAGO (0-2) Kickoff: Today, 1 p.m. (CBS) Keys to the game: The Steelers established a running game against the Vikings and that opened up some one-onone matchups in the passing game that they were able to take advantage of for big plays.

Look for a similar approach in Chicago. Le’Veon Bell, who had 87 yards rushing last week, said he is close to breaking out, and the passing game has been efficient, if not spectacular.

On defense, the Steelers have to pressure Bears quarterback Mike Glennon. He is coming

off a game against the Buccaneers when he finished with a quarterbacking rating of 23.2.

The Steelers have nine sacks through two games and will look to get a few more against Glennon.

Considering Pittsburgh’s defense has allowed only 237 yards in each of the first two games, the Bears’ own defense can’t afford to take many risks.

They must play it as close to the vest as possible in order to keep the game close and have a chance to win at the end.

CLEVELAND (0-2) AT INDIANAPOLIS (0-2) Kickoff: Today, 1 p.m.

Keys to the game: Somebody will come away with their first victory of 2017. Both teams rank in the bottom 10 in scoring average and are hoping for a breakout performance in Week 3. The Browns are averaging 14 points per game (No. 24 in the NFL) through Week 2, while the Colts are averaging only 11 points per contest (No. 27).

The Colts remain without franchise QB Andrew Luck, and they would be best served to build a game plan around veteran RB Frank Gore. The 34-year-old has 13,153 career rushing yards and needs 107 to move past Hall of Famer Eric Dickerson (13,259 yards) for seventh in league history. The seven players ahead of Gore on the rushing list, which is led by Emmitt Smith (18,355 yards), all are enshrined in Canton.

TAMPA BAY (1-0) AT MINNESOTA (1-1) Kickoff: Today, 1 p.m.

Keys to the game: With QB Sam Bradford out (knee), the Vikings must bank on riding a dominant defense that can reach a higher level when there’s home-field advantage.

With Case Keenum starting expectations are diminished of the Vikings trading blows with Jameis Winston, the first QB in NFL history to start a career with consecutive 4,000-yard seasons. Althouth Keenum has an interesting history of statistical success against the Bucs, the Vikings will need a conservative approach and rely on rookie running back Dalvin Cook to continue playing with quickness, strength and speed.

HOUSTON (1-1) AT NEW ENGLAND (1-1) Kickoff: Today, 1 p.m.

Keys to the game: Deshaun Watson will try to do something that has never been done by a rookie quarterback: Defeat Bill

Belichick’s team in Foxborough.

Rookie quarterbacks are 5-15 against Belichick through his time in New England. But the Foxborough numbers are even scarier: 0-8 with five touchdowns, 16 interceptions and a 50.7 passer rating.

The Texans will try to emphasize their running game, led by Lamar Miller, to keep the Patriots from going after Watson.

The Patriots, likewise, will focus on keeping Miller from establishing the running game and making sure Watson doesn’t make many plays with his legs. The Patriots’ run defense struggled mightily on opening night and wasn’t really tested against the Saints last week, so it’s a question mark.

MIAMI (1-0) AT N.Y. JETS (0-2) Kickoff: Today,1 p.m.

Keys to the game: Miami must rely on running back Jay Ajayi offensively, as always. Ajayi rushed for 122 yards last week and continued his trend from last year of aggressive running, yards after contact, and getting stronger in the fourth quarter.

Defensively, the Dolphins must shore up their pass defense, which gave up 323 yards against the Los Angeles Chargers, while being mindful everything starts with stopping the run.

Miami held the Chargers to 44 yards rushing last week but the pass defense, and the pass rush, showed vulnerabilities.

Granted, Miami went against quarterback Philip Rivers, who is accomplished, but the coverage was a bit loose.

N.Y. GIANTS (0-2) AT EAGLES (1-1) Kickoff: Today, 1 p.m.

Keys to the game: With expectations extremely high going into the season, an 0-2 start leaves room for plenty of blame with the Giants. And this time it is by more than the infamous tabloid headlines. Even coach Ben McAdoo took a snippy shot at quarterback Eli Manning, allegedly for taking an unnecessary delay-of-game penalty.

Manning could, but didn’t, blame it on old-fashioned fear of what happened after he took the snap behind an incompetent offensive line. Before the loss to Detroit on Monday night, the absence of injured wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. was the excuse.

But he played in the loss to the Lions — albeit sparingly — and the team still did not seem in gear. OBJ is not even listed on the Friday injury report, but cornerback Janoris Jenkins is questionable (ankle).

There is talk about McAdoo handing off the play-calling, but if the O-line can’t block, the plays aren’t the problem.

SEATTLE (1-1) AT TENNESSEE (1-1) Kickoff: Today, 4:05 p.m.

Keys to the game: The Seahawks will focus on containing the rushing attack of DeMarco Murray, Derrick Henry and Marcus Mariota. Seattle’s linebackers and secondary match up well against Tennessee’s passing attack and will need to control the running game to force tougher throws in the passing game.

Offensively, Seattle will need to build upon an encouraging rushing performance last week against the 49ers. Get Chris Carson involved early to help create play-action opportunities for Russell Wilson.

The Titans re-established the run game against Jacksonville, and they will need it to be effective this week when the Seahawks come to town. The Legion of Boom will be gunning for Mariota, and the Titans will need a strong rushing attack to help offset the Seahawks’ playmaking secondary.

CINCINNATI (0-2) AT GREEN BAY (1-1) Kickoff: Today, 4:25 p.m.

(CBS) Keys to the game: The Bengals failed to score a touchdown in the first two games and fired offensive coordinator Ken Zampese. Bill Lazor has taken over, but don’t expect the offense to look much different with less than one week of preparation.

The Bengals’ defense needs to pester Aaron Rodgers and get Ty Montgomery on the ground.

Poor tackling has been an issue for the Bengals, who have struggled to get off the field on third down.

The Packers should lean heavily on Montgomery and the ground game. The Bengals rank 31st in rushing yards allowed and 22nd in yards per carry (4.2).

KANSAS CITY (2-0) AT L.A. CHARGERS (0-2) Kickoff: Today, 4:25 p.m.

Keys to the game: The Chiefs stand 2-0 thanks to an offense that moves the ball in chunks and a defense that ratchets up pressure of the quarterback until it breaks through, and that game plan makes sense against the Chargers as well. The trio of Tyreek Hill, Travis Kelce and Kareem Hunt create mismatches that are difficult to defend.

The Chiefs can bring pressure on the quarterback from multiple directions thanks to Justin Houston and Dee Ford on the edges and Chris Jones on the inside.

The Chargers will be able to run the ball at some point, right?

That hasn’t been the case this year despite coach Anthony Lynn coming in with a runninggame guru reputation. If L.A. can’t establish anything on the ground — running back Melvin Gordon is listed as questionable (knee) — that won’t bode well for Philip Rivers against the Chiefs’ pass rush or the Chargers’ ability to work the clock and keep the ball away from the explosive Chiefs.

OAKLAND (2-0) AT WASHINGTON (1-1) Kickoff: Today, 8:30 p.m. (NBC) Keys to the game: The Raiders’ plan seems simple enough — choke off the run and force Kirk Cousins to throw the ball on their terms. Washington’s passing game has yet to take off after the losses of Pierre Garcon and DeSean Jackson and could well be without Jordan Reed.

Under those circumstances, the Raiders would hope to have Cousins forced into the air on third-and-long.

Offensively, the Raiders have stressed balance through their first two games, working the clock effectively in the fourth quarter through use of the running game. The more the Raiders don’t have to rely on Carr’s ability to deliver in the fourth quarter, the better they’ll be.

DALLAS (1-1) AT ARIZONA (1-1) Kickoff: Monday, 8:30 p.m.

(ESPN) Keys to the game: Dallas running back Ezekiel Elliott gets a chance for redemption after his effort during Dallas’ humbling 42-17 loss last Sunday in Denver. Coach Jason Garrett wasn’t pleased when the tailback showed no interest in turning into a defensive player after two Dak Prescott interceptions.

Elliott had more carries (nine) than yards (eight) against the Broncos, but Cardinals coach Bruce Arians doesn’t see a player that suddenly has lost his way or forgot how to break tackles and squirt through holes.

The Cardinals hope they have similar success to the Broncos, who held the Cowboys to 268 yards.

The Cardinals could turn to their second new starting running back in two weeks since losing star David Johnson to a left wrist injury in Week 1 at Detroit.

THE BLITZ

Complete game coverage of Gwinnett County high school football

Archer builds big lead, hangs on to beat Hornets From StaFF reportS ROSWELL — After a dominating first-half performance produced a 31-7 lead, Archer head coach Andy Dyer elected to give some of his backup players a chance at the outset of the third quarter.

With No. 2 quarterback Trey Messer in the game for two series, the Tigers ran five plays and lost nine yards plus a fumble. The Hornets capitalized after the recovery and used the momentum to score three touchdowns in the span of 11 minutes and close within 31-26 midway through the final period.

Roswell got the ball back and moved across midfield when the Archer defense did what it has been doing all season.

Cornerback Taiyon Palmer picked off a pass and returned it 58 yards for a clinching touchdown as the third-ranked Tigers concluded their demanding pre-region schedule at 5-0 with a 37-26 victory over the defending state runners-up.

“I wanted to put our other quarterback in and get him some playing time, but we did not do a good job protecting him,” said Dyer, whose team surrendered a sack on the fumble. “Hats off to my kids for five tough weeks.

That was a huge play by Taiyon. He read the play perfectly for the pick-six.”

The Tigers lost 47-0 last year on their home field to the Hornets, who reached the Class AAAAAAA championship game before losing in overtime to Grayson.

While Archer returned most of its key players, the Hornets lost 26 of their top 28 in addition to almost the entire coaching staff. At the end of the half, it looked like the Tigers might give the Hornets a whipping to match the one they put on Archer last season.

The Tigers scored on all five of their first-half possessions, settling for a field goal after penetrating the Roswell 10 in the second quarter to take a 24-7 lead. The Tigers combined a beautifully balanced offense (138 yards rushing and 139 passing) and a stout defense that held the Hornets to under 100 yards with the exception of a 43-yard touchdown pass midway through the first quarter.

Hillgrove 37, South Gwinnett 32 POWDER SPRINGS — Close games have been nothing new for South Gwinnett this year as two of their three losses have been come by seven points or less.

Despite falling behind by 20 in the second quarter and committing five turnovers, the Comets fought back to make things close once again, but were unable to overcome Hillgrove as it fell 37-32 Friday night at Cobb Energy/Hillgrove Stadium.

“We put ourselves in a hole once again and tried to dig ourselves out of it,” South head coach Steven Davenport said.

“We had a couple of bad reads, a couple of dropped balls that turned into turnovers. … That is three close games that we really feel like we had a chance to win.”

South’s chance at a comeback seemed to slip through its fingertips as a Woodson pass to Compton went through the receiver’s hands and into the waiting arms of Hillgrove defensive back Cade Stewart for the interception and possession in Comet territory.

But the Comets would gain new life just one play later after an Arters’ screen pass attempt was deflected into the arms of linebacker Siraye Tchatcha who spun out of one tackle and returned the interception for a touchdown to pull the Comets within two at 34-32.

But South was unable to tie the game as a jump pass by Derrick Lawrence was batted away on the two-point conver-

sion attempt.

Hillgrove answered with a field goal and intercepted a fourth Woodson pass attempt to seal the win.

Lanier 36, St. Pius 33 SUGAR HILL — What started as a grind-it-out battle in the trenches turned into an affair more like arena ball.

Fortunately for Lanier, that was a good thing.

The Longhorns overcame a first half in which they were dominated and put together a few big plays in the second half to come back and edge visiting St. Pius 36-33 on Friday night at Lanier Community Stadium.

Trailing 13-7 at the break, Lanier exploded for two big scores early in the third and took advantage of a late mistake by St. Pius to post 29 points in the second half.

“I wish we could get it going like that in the first half,” Lanier head coach Korey Mobbs said.

“We tried to tell our kids all week long it was going to be a battle. I was real proud of our offense in the second half. We didn’t turn the ball over (in the second half) and that was the difference.”

Lanier got within five at 33-28 with 7:18 left on a 9-yard TD run from Kevonte Polk.

Polk finished with 90 yards on 13 carries with two TDs, the second of those coming with 3:53 left to play on a 5-yard run.

That run capped off a short 18-yard drive, set up when the Lanier defense forced St. Pius to punt from its own 47.

However, the snap sailed high over the head of Nolan Aldrich, who fell on the ball after it had rolled inside the St. Pius 20, setting up the eventual gamewinning drive.

Walton 34, Dacula 20 DACULA — Despite going toe-to-toe with unbeaten Walton, Dacula’s upset bid fell short at home in a back-and-forth battle Friday.

Walton quarterback Austin Kirksey (353 passing yards, five total touchdowns) and Dacula quarterback Shayne Buckingham (149 total yards, 2 total TD’s) squared off in a secondhalf shootout as the Raiders (5-0) held off the Falcons (1-4) in a 34-20 victory.

“You line up to play and win the game,” Dacula head coach Tommy Jones said. “We’re disappointed that we didn’t do that. In saying that, I’m really proud of the way that our guys bounced back tonight against a state-ranked team and fought hard.”

In the first half, the Falcons and Raiders engaged in a defensive battle with both teams making plays in critical situations.

First was Dacula which, after a strong Walton drive led it inside the 5-yard line, narrowly kept Kirksey out of the end zone on third down to set up fourth-and-goal from inside the one.

D.J. Soyoye then carried to the right side and was bombarded by a crowd of Falcon defenders behind the line of scrimmage to stop the Raider drive with about four and a half minutes left in the first quarter.

And on the next Walton drive, Tyler Lawary picked off Kirksey in the end zone to keep it scoreless in the first quarter.

“Our defense has done an exceptional job all year,” Jones said. “They played hard and we tackled well early in the first half.”

GAC 47, Union County 7 BLUE RIDGE — Trey Morrison intercepted Union County’s first pass and Greater Atlanta Christian’s football team was off and running in a 47-7 road victory Friday.

The No. 3 Spartans zipped out to a 28-0 lead and handed Union County its first loss of the season. Union County (4-1) hadn’t given up more than two scores in a game this season.

Clemson commit Kyler McMichael punched in the touchdown as GAC (4-1) capitalized on Morrison’s interception.

McMichael added another TD soon after and the Spartans stretched their lead to 21-0 on another Union County miscue.

The Panthers fumbled the ball away and GAC got into the red zone on a deep throw to senior Max Burke.

A quarterback sneak from Josh Rose took the Spartans into the end zone.

Switching in Jackson Hardy at quarterback, GAC scored again on a six-yard pass to Kyle Ellis.

McMichael raced 65 yards for another touchdown and Burke’s 32-yard reception from Rose rounded out the first-half scoring.

Monte Bailey added a fiveyard TD run after the half and GAC’s defense forced three turnovers in the game.

Wesleyan 42, Holy Innocents’ 14 PEACHTREE CORNERS — Banks Ramsey says he’s been a Georgia Tech football fan his whole life, but the Wesleyan School senior despises playing

against Paul Johnson’s signature scheme, the triple option.

“Oh boy. I hate the triple option,” said Ramsey, who plays on both sides of the ball for the Wolves. “I’ve seen defenses be torn apart by it. It’s a war between the trenches.”

The Holy Innocents’ Golden Bears brought their version of the triple option into Wesleyan on Friday night, but the Wolves were prepared. The Golden Bears rushed for 270 yards, but cracked the end zone just twice.

Big plays on offense and bend-but-don’t-break mindset on defense led the Wesleyan School football team to its fifth win of the season, topping the Golden Bears 42-14 in front of a large crowd on its homecoming night.

Ramsey guided the Wolves on offense, tallying 205 yards passing, 44 yards rushing, and three scores. As a defensive end, he chipped in on halting the Golden Bears too.

“I thought we did pretty well with having just a week to prepare for (the triple option),” said Franklin Pridgen, the Wolves’ head coach. “Our offense was efficient, we took pressure off our defense. I couldn’t be happier. I thought the outcome was never in doubt.”

The Wolves (5-1) got a boost early when junior J.D. Kavel spun and sprinted into the open field, taking the opening kickoff 93 yards and to the house for a score.

After forcing the Golden Bears (1-4) to punt early in their opening drive, the Wolves looked to score again, but went threeand-out after Ramsey threw a pick down the left sideline. The senior settled in though, and led the Wolves on drives of 95 and 88 yards for scores before the half, and three more scores in the second half.

He took care of the ball for the rest of the game too.

“To start off with the pick was a disappointment, but my coaches helped me stay calm,” Ramsey said. “We’ll have to work on converting the deep ball. … It’s one of those where the score looks like a great win, but a lot guys felt we could’ve done better.”

Hebron 48, Riverside Military 7 DACULA — Coming off a bye week, the Hebron Lions wanted to continue with the momentum they had achieved before their layoff.

The offense was forced to shake off some early rust as the Lions had two first-quarter touchdowns called back because of penalties. As a result, Hebron was locked in a scoreless game through the opening quarter.

However, the Lion offense awakened and scored 34 second-quarter points in leading the Hebron Christian Lions (3-1) to a 48-7 win over the visiting Riverside Military Academy (0-5) on Friday night.

“We did not practice much during the hurricane week, so we started slow and made some errors by committing penalties which cost us two early touchdowns,” said Hebron head coach Jeff Saturday. “You do not want to do that as a football team. We want to take advantage of every opportunity given to us. Our guys fought hard but we still have some things to work on.”

The Lion defense was very instrumental in the first half as it allowed Riverside only two first downs.

“When we are having trouble offensively, we rely on our defense,” Saturday said. “Tonight our defense really kept us in the game early as our offense was a bit rusty.”

Chandler Lewis led the way with three rushing TDs with runs of 4, 6 and 12 yards. Lewis finished the night with 120 yards on 17 carries.

“The offensive line took control in the second quarter and just opened some great holes,” Lewis said.

The Lions finally got on the scoreboard early in the second quarter with a 12-play scoring drive. Lewis scored on a 4-yard TD run to cap off the drive.

Aidan Meek added the PAT as Hebron led 7-0 at the 8:36 mark of the second quarter.

Lakeview Academy 35, Providence 14 GAINESVILLE — Providence Christian dug itself an early hole and could not overcome the deficit as the Storm fell to Lakeview Academy 35-14 Friday night in a Region 8-A. Providence fell behind 35-7 heading into halftime and managed to hold the Lions scoreless in the second half while scoring a touchdown and having another drive fall just short of the end zone.

David Sloan rushed for 115 yards in the game, including a 75-yard touchdown run.

Mitchell Miller scored the other Providence touchdown on a 12-yard run. Sam Aurelia provided a key interception and 45 yard return defensively for the Storm (1-3, 1-2).

North •From Page 1B Salter scooped the fumble up and ran it all the way to the Bulldogs’ 6-yard line, setting up a 4-yard TD pass from Edwards to Thomas Stewart. But North’s defense continued to dominate from there until the North offense woke up in the fourth quarter.

North held Mountain View to one second-half first down, which came on a 10-yard completion in the final minute. That came when the Bears already trailed by two scores.

“I didn’t realize that,” McDonald said of holding Mountain View to a single first down in the final two quarters. “We were just playing. We weren’t thinking about what we did before. We were just playing the next play. …

It was big we stepped up (on defense). We knew the offense was struggling.

Coach kept us pumped up throughout the whole game. It was big. Coach told us we’ve been through adversity. We know how to fight. We weren’t worried when we were down. We kept playing and playing.”

Mountain View, which was averaging 52.5 points prior to Friday, totaled minus-23 rushing yards and 15 passing yards in the second half. It finished with 14 rushing yards.

After the first drive, Edwards was 5 of 19 for 24 yards and his first two interceptions of the season.

His final line was 11 of 25 passing for 75 yards and

and two TDs. “We were very sloppy (Friday) night,” Carrera said. “We practiced really bad this week. I was really worried because practiced really bad. We came out (Thursday) and were crisp, but Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday were really bad. So we’ve got to get better about that. But it’s humbling to know what we’ve done.”

The game was tight even after Williams capped a nine-play, 63-yard drive with his third TD of the night, an 11-yard run that put the Mustangs in front for good at 21-14 just 3:10 into the second half.

Lakeside quickly answered with Max Guggemos’ second scoring run of the night, this one from 3 yards out, just 3:06 later at the 5:44 mark, but a Meadowcreek lineman got a piece of the extra point kick, leaving the Mustangs in front at 21-20.

And then in the fourth quarter, Williams and Meadowcreek’s thundering herd of an offensive line began to take over.

After getting the ball back following a Will Thompson interception, the latter opened a gaping

hole on the right side that the speedy senior quickly dashed through and outran the Vikings secondary for a 77-yard TD that gave the Mustangs a little breathing room at 28-20 with 8:20 remaining.

The defense provided another interception, this time by Tye Todd, to set up the perhaps the gutsiest of Williams’ yardage on the night, one that only went for 4 yards.

After a 19-yard run by Javion Johnson on third and 20 set up fourth and less than a yard from the Meadowcreek 48, Carrera rolled the dice and called Williams’ number once again.

The 5-foot-10, 190-pound running back delivered, pounding the ball beyond the chains and into Lakeside territory for for a first down with less than five minutes left that allowed Meadowcreek to burn more clock.

“I just know that when I get the ball, my line is going to do what they’ve got to do,” said Williams, who had 12 carries for 10 yards or more on the night.

“They’re going to get me into the end zone. They tell me every drive that it’s

my time, and we’re going to get in that end zone. So I believe them and I trust them, and they trust in me.”

Three plays later, Williams had the Mustangs in the end zone again, this time breaking away for 43-yard TD that made the score 35-20 with 3:51 remaining.

A turnover on downs by the defense allowed Qu’Vella Calhoun a chance to deliver the knockout blow with a 1-yard TD run with 2:10 left, making the score 42-20.

Even a late Lakeside score and two-point conversion with 25.8 seconds left couldn’t put a damper on the homecoming celebration.

“I have to keep doing what I say and just keep going game-by-game and week-by-week,” said Carrera, who gained his ninth win in his third season a Meadowcreek, tying Norris Vaughan for No. 3 on the school’s all-time wins list. “It’s humbling when I look at what we have done.

These kids have worked hard and have worked hard since I walked into the (field house) door. They believe in what we’re trying to do.”

Devils dominate region opener minus Maloof

By Chris stephens Staff Correpondent

LAWRENCEVILLE — Up 14-7 late in the second quarter, Norcross saw Ricky Holloman catch a 62-yard pass from quarterback Louis Williams.

Then things changed as officials called a unsportsmanlike conduct penalty on Blue Devils’ head coach Keith Maloof, and ejected him from the game, leaving the Blue Devils without their leader.

However, Norcross (3-2, 1-0 Region 7-AAAAAAA) used that as fuel, scoring a touchdown four plays later to go up two scores and propelled it to a 31-7 win Friday at Central.

“Coach Maloof has always preached that it is a marathon and not a sprint,” said acting head coach Corey Richardson. “Our guys responded. Tonight, our offense was our best defense as we controlled the clock and kept their offense off the field.”

Both teams struggled to find rhythm in the early going as penalties and sacks halted both.

The Blue Devils finally broke through in the second quarter, using 11 plays to go 77 yards. A 15-yard completion from Williams to Omar Sinclair put the ball in the red zone for Norcross.

Four plays later, Clay Harris bounced off wouldbe tacklers and scampered into the end zone from the 8-yard line to put the Blue Devils up 7-0.

After forcing Central (3-2, 0-1) to punt on its next drive, the Blue Devils went right back to work.

A 17-yard run by Sinclair again put the ball inside the red zone.

Three plays later, Williams found Isaiah McKoy for a nine-yard pass, putting the Blue Devils up 14-0.

Central responded on its next drive. Quarterback Jarren Williams had completions of 18 and 24 yards to Kameron King and Khmari Thompson (4 receptions, 32 yards) to move the ball into Blue Devils’ territory.

Four plays later, Williams found Thompson once again for a 13-yard score, cutting the deficit to 14-7.

Then the fireworks started.

The 62-yard completion to Holloman gave the Blue Devils a lot of momentum, only to be momentarily halted by the ejection.

Three plays later, Williams found Shelton Zeon from the 8-yard line, giving the Blue Devils a 21-7 lead right before halftime.

In the third quarter, the Blue Devils came out and did much of the same.

On the third play of the first drive of the second half, Williams found McKoy once again, this time for 57 yards over the top as McKoy raced to the end zone for the score.

Norcross added a 44yard field goal by Jake Camarda for the game’s final score.

“We played a tough four games before this,” Richardson said. “(After those games), records mean nothing. Everyone was 0-0.”

Williams finished 11for-17 for 239 yards and three touchdowns. Kameryn Jackson finished with 84 yards on 11 carries, while Sinclair had 121 total yards.

For Central, Jarren Williams finished 18-for31 for 178 yards, with 35 more yards rushing. King finished as the leading receiver with 48 yards on four catches.

Defense leads Lions to gutsy win

By Colin huBBarD

Staff Correspondent

LAWRENCEVILLE — It took just under 32 minutes to score the game’s first touchdown in a game that featured just 19 combined first downs between Peachtree Ridge and Discovery on Friday night.

Lions running back Jamari Jackson scored from 5 yards out with 3:38 remaining in the third quarter, and added a 1-yard TD run in the fourth quarter to help secure a 17-0 win for Peachtree Ridge.

The win marks the first of the season for the Lions, as well as the first for head coach Reggie Stancil.

“It feels great,” Stancil said. “We’ve worked hard for a long time and to finally to get on the right side of the scoreboard feels good.”

It was tough sledding for the Lions’ offense.

They drove into Titan territory on 11 of their 14 drives but earned points just three times.

But the defense made up for it. Outside of a 60-yard run from Discovery running back Khiree Seabrook (14 carries for 107 yards), the Lions al-

lowed just 158 total yards of offense (49 in the second half) and forced eight three-and-outs.

Titan quarterback Alexander Drazic was under duress all game long, and finished with a mere 33 yards passing on 7 of 31 passing. He had two interceptions, on his first and last throws of the game.

“Ever since the start of the season, coach (Stancil) has told us that we have a young offense, so defensively, we need to hold it down until the offense gets under their feet, and that is exactly what

we did tonight,” Wilson Catoe said. “It feels like this is the start of many.

We just need to go back to practice and come out after our bye week and do it again.”

After failing to score on its opening drive of the third quarter, Peachtree Ridge finally scored on its next two possessions. The Lions went 40 yards in five plays and scored on a 5-yard run from Jackson.

They made it 14-0 after a methodical nine-play, 44-yard drive in which Jackson carried the ball eight times for 26 yards.

Peachtree Ridge tacked on a 33-yard field goal to wrap up the scoring.

“Our coaches never give up on us,” Jackson said. “We just put the trust in them, and they put it back in us. That’s all we can do.”

Jackson got off to a slow start, rushing for just 29 yards on his first seven carries, but the Lions stuck with him and watched him get better and better as the game progressed.

“We told him that if he is able to get better and better as the games goes on, he is going to be special,” Stancil said. “I told him, ‘If we’re going to win this game, we have got to get behind the offensive line, and we’ve got to get behind you and run the ball.’”

The Lions will look to make it back-to-back wins when they take on Mountain View in two weeks.

“Our kids never give up,” Stancil said. “That’s one thing that I love about our kids is that they’re going to fight no matter what.

I talked to the defense at halftime and said, ‘Guys, keep fighting for us, and we’ll figure it out.’ And that’s what they did, and we finally figured it out.”

Kids interact with the “Sid the Science Kid: The Super-Duper Exhibit!” at Children’s Museum of Atlanta. The exhibit will run through Jan. 15. (Special Photos)

experimenting with fun

By Jon Gallo

Staff Correspondent

Karen Kelly needs just three seconds to determine the effectiveness of any exhibit at the Children’s Museum of Atlanta.

“That’s how long it takes to see if it can keep kids engaged, which means it’s working,” the museum’s director of exhibits and education said. “We don’t want kids to just give it a quick look and move on. We want the exhibits to be interactive and very hands-on.”

Kelly said she anticipates the museum’s most recent feature, “Sid the Science Kid: The Super-Duper Exhibit!” to grab children’s attention and not let go as they become immersed in the traveling exhibit based on the PBS Kids TV show. The exhibit, which is geared toward children who are in third grade or younger, gives visitors the opportunity to step into Sid’s enormous house and become “Science Kids.” Children will be taught the principles of science in a very interactive and fun way, as the exhibit takes what’s generally taught in school and applies it to everyday life.

“This isn’t an exhibit where you’ll watch something on a screen and that will be it,” she said. “Children will have things to do throughout the exhibit and come away feeling life they’ve made something happen and accomplished something — and they’ll have a lot of fun while they’re learning.”

Kids will use all five of their senses as they wander through Sid’s home, his school’s

“There is no better way to get children excited about science than through interaction and play,” said Lisa Henson, CEO of The Jim Henson Company, the entity that helped created the event. “The handson nature of ‘Sid the Science Kid: The Super-Duper Exhibit!’ not only engages students, it inspires them to explore the science they find all around them from their backyard to the schoolyard.”

Children’s Museum of Atlanta — the only educational venue of its kind in Atlanta — features educational programs and exhibits designed for young children up to age 9. Its mission is to spark imagination and inspire discovery and learning for all children through the power of play.

The venue’s six permanent learning zones and complementary exhibits promote literacy, math and science through playbased exploration.

“Knowing that ‘Sid the Science Kid’ is a popular television program among our visitors was one of the main reasons we wanted to bring this exhibit to Atlanta,” said Jane Turner, executive director of the Children’s Museum of Atlanta.

“This interactive exhibit will allow children to engage in the power of play through entering Sid’s world like never before and immersing themselves into various elements of science.”

In our show, there is no wall.”

“Sesame Street Live! Let’s Party!,” which is directed and choreographed by Paul Decker, is fueled by many of the songs, including “I Love Trash” and “C is for Cookie,” that have been featured on the TV show Sesame Street, which debuted in November 1969.

‘Abigail/1702’ delivers challenging role for Rodriguez

BY JON GALLO

AURORA THEATRE FALL/WINTER SCHEDULE

Staff Correspondent

Diany Rodriguez, a native of Puerto Rico, said playing the lead role in ‘Abigail/1702” poses one of the biggest challenges of her career.

“Being able to speak like I’m supposed to is hard for my tongue,” she said.

“I’m a Latino and Abigail is white. She’s a Puritan and speaks with an accent that has Scottish, British and Irish. I’ve never had to speak with that type of accent before and it’s hard for me as a Latino to pull off a European accent.”

Rodriguez plays Abigail Williams, who is seeking forgiveness after her accusations during the Salem witch trials led to 19 lynching in Arthur Miller’s “The Crucible.” “Abigail/1702” takes place 10 years after the killings, as Abigail is seeking forgiveness and has moved to Boston. But she’s still haunted by her past as she tries to tries to return to normalcy in mainstream society.

Abigail is remorseful for her role in the convictions after her claims, which may have been untrue, led to the accused paying the ultimate price for crimes they may not have committed.

She has changed her name and is dedicated to helping instead of condemning. She keeps her identity hidden in her new city, where she hopes her work running a home that treats the sick will lead to forgiveness and salvation.

“It’s very much a morality tale of where she is and

ANCIENT WARRIORS

Exhibit turns Fernbank into the Colosseum

BY JON GALLO

Staff Correspondent

While it has been centuries since they dueled to brutal deaths, gladiators continue to remain very much alive today.

Whether it has been through Russell Crowe’s “Gladiator,” Kiefer Sutherland’s “Pompeii” or the Starz series “Spartacus,” gladiators continue to draw an audience today, just as they did thousands of years ago when their fights to the death were the hottest ticket in town.

Now, the sword-wielding, armor-clad warriors are coming to Atlanta as “Gladiators: Heroes of the Colosseum” will turn the Fernbank Museum of Natural History into the Eighth Wonder of the World from Sept. 30 through Jan. 7.

“People have always drawn to them,” said Kayla Rumpfeldt, the museum’s public relations coordinator. “There is a cool cultural element behind them. They had personas and followings like professional wrestlers and they had fans like football teams have today — all to see these guys have a courageous fight to the death.”

By displaying armor, helmets, weapons and archeological artwork that have been loaned from Italy, “Gladiators: Heroes of the Colosseum” will give visitors an up close and behind-the-scenes look at the men and women who fought for their lives and their city’s reputation.

“We have real pieces of the Colosseum and how many of us can just go visit Italy and go to Rome and get a tour of the Colosseum?”

Rumpfeldt said. “We have mosaic

AUBURN Library hosting Teen Night on Thursday The Auburn Public Library is inviting teenagers to come take over the library later this week.

Well not literally take it over but to at least come by and have a good time.

The library will host a Teen Night from 5 to 6 p.m. on Thursdays. The branch holds a weekly program geared specifically toward teenagers each week, with different activities planned, ranging from parties, craft nights and game nights, to a meeting of the Teen Advisory Board or gatherings of the Anime Club or Book Club.

The library is located at 24 Fifth St. BARROW COUNTY Register to vote at the Winder Public Library The Winder Public Library wants to help you realize your voting rights this week.

Tuesday is National Voter Registration Day. Residents are welcome to stop into the Winder Public Library between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. to fill out a voter registration form in preparation for future elections.

The Winder Public Library is located at 84 West Midland Street. For more information, visit bit. ly/2jI0ePi. BERKELEY LAKE Berkeley Lake offers drug disposal next month Berkeley Lake residents should begin collecting their unused prescriptions for safe disposal.

The city will host Take Back Drugs Day on Oct. 28 at City Hall. The local police and representatives from the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration will come that day to take away the old drugs for safe disposal. Mayor Lois Salter wrote in her recent news letter that people often end up flushing their drugs down the toilet — which often lands them in the Chattahoochee River.

“It’s amazing how many of our drugs survive the water reclamation process to affect fish and wildlife,” Salter wrote. “And there’s also some concern for the children in your home who might get into some old medicine that could hurt them.”

Salter invited residents to stop by city hall that day between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. to give back drugs and celebrate hometown heroes. Berkeley Lake City Hall is located at 4040 S. Berkeley Lake Road.

The event is free to the public. For more information, contact the Office of Community Outreach at 770822-8980 or email Sylvia. goalen@gwinnettcounty. com.

Born with an everlasting love for records When I was a child, from the time I was old enough to sit on the floor and play with my toes until far past the time I put on my first coat of mascara, I have loved records.

I thought it was magical that I could put a black round disc on my little phonograph player and soon music or words would be playing. This absolutely fascinated me. If you ever run into Tink, ask him to show you one of his favorite photos. He always has it close at hand.

My husband enjoys plundering through boxes of old things to find pieces of me as a little girl. Somewhere, he found a black

of a childish me, you can count on seeing a piece of my petticoat trimmed in lace.

“Why are you always showing off your petticoat in photos?” he asked, laughing as he gazed at the ensemble of white blouse Ronda with a Peter Pan collar, a Rich jumper, lace-trimmed socks and black patent shoes. and white photo of a plump I shrugged. “I liked my three-year-old clutching an petticoats. They made me old 45 record in my pudgy feel pretty.” fingers. My head is flung Without fail, every photo back joyously and I am — and Tink has a few of laughing. In every photo these he can share, too — I from my childhood, I am have bobbed red-brown either laughing merrily hair with bangs that are too or grinning happily with short and crooked. They are twinkling eyes. at least a half inch longer And, too, in most photos on one side that the other.

“And your bangs are always crooked.” He laughed again.

“Because Mama cut them and if she couldn’t find her regular scissors, she’d just use her pinking shears.” It’s a good thing that my happiness didn’t depend on me being pretty because those bangs were plenty ugly.

So, this child with crooked bangs, a happy personality and petticoats longer than her dresses, loved records. As soon as I could read, I was equally fascinated with the record jackets. Whenever I got a new one, I would sit down and read every word written on the back. In those

days of vinyl records, it often included what was known as “liner notes” which was a couple of paragraphs about the album and sometimes included a story about the artist or the songs.

Faithfully, I read who produced the album, which musicians played on the session and, importantly, who wrote the songs.

Sadly, this is something that has been lost to downloaded music and even CDs. Musicians and songwriters are rarely credited and these are the powerful punch behind any music.

Several years ago, I was having lunch with my friend, Don Light, in Nashville. In his early days, Don played drums on the Grand Ole Opry. This is aptly noted because drums were banned from the Opry until sometime in the 1960s.

While we were lunching, a guy stopped by the table for a chat. After he walked off, Don said, “He’s one of the best session players in town.” He paused. “He’s played on every record that George Strait every made.

For, I don’t know, 20 years or so.”

“That’s impressive.”

He leveled his blue eyes at me. “And he’s never met him.”

“What? All those records? All those No. 1s?”

“He told George’s producer the other day if the opportunity ever comes up, he sure would like to meet him.” He chuckled. “It’s overdubbing. The session players come in, do their thing then the artist comes in later and lays down the vocal tracks. Gone are the days when everyone was in the same room together making music and records.”

What a shame. Instrumentalists and vocalists not recording together? And no credit to the songwriters and musicians?

The little girl with the petticoat showing and the crooked bangs wouldn’t like that near as much.

Emotions are a source of power

504341-4

“Buck up. Quit being so emotional.” If you haven’t heard it, you may have said it.

We’ve long been taught that emotions are a source of weakness. Getting emotional is often perceived as an indicator we’re not in control.

But what if we’ve been thinking about this all wrong? What if the opposite is true? What if your emotions are actually your best source of power?

Thirty years ago, the idea of emotions as power was fodder for woo-woo conferences with people burning incense and channeling their inner spirit animal. Today, the power of emotions is being discussed by none other than the former Surgeon General, Vivek Murthy. Murthy, a Yale and Harvardeducated physician, and Vice Admiral in the Public Health Service Commissioned Corps addresses the topic in a recent interview with National Geographic.

He says, “It’s the presence of positive emotions that allows us to be resilient in the face of adversity.”

Murthy is on a mission to reduce stigmas around mental illness and to promote emotional wellbeing.

“The first thing,” he says, “is that we need to change how we think about emotions. Emotions are a source of power, and that’s what science tells us. But many people I encounter have been led to think of emotions as a source of weakness.”

A problem I routinely see in business is when leaders try to logic through what is basically an emotional problem. For example, we were called in recently to help a senior leadership team introduce a new performance management model for their global managers. They had introduced the model; done training but to no avail. It never got traction.

The team tried to identify the logical reasons things weren’t working. Perhaps the people hadn’t been trained well. Perhaps it was too difficult. No, other teams of similar types were using the model, and the training was solid. Their team should have been implementing. What to do?

Forget Perfect

Lisa McLeod Should they retrain or take punitive action?

After watching them go around a bit, I asked, “What emotion is going on here?” One leader quickly answered, “Fear.”

It was pretty simple; the entire organization was paralyzed by fear. People were constantly afraid they were going to be punished or lose their jobs. It’s no wonder they couldn’t take in new information.

There are basically only two emotions: love and fear. All of our other emotions radiate off that.

In his National Geographic interview, Murthy describes it this way, “I have long believed that there are fundamentally two forces or emotions that drive our decisions — love and fear.

Love has its many manifestations: compassion, gratitude, kindness and joy. Fear often manifests in cynicism, anger, jealousy and anxiety. I worry that many of our communities are being driven by fear. It’s partly because of the things we read about in the news that give us pause about the state of the world. And it’s also because we haven’t really prioritized cultivating positive emotions that emanate from love.”

When we try to deny emotions, we often wind up stripping away positive emotions associated with love, and all we’re left with is fear. Ignoring emotions (your own and others) doesn’t increase your power. It lessens your power. Next time you’re faced with a challenging situation, instead of turning to logic, look at the emotions. That’s where your real power lies.

SATURDAY

8:30 p.m. on CBS Star Trek: Discovery One of television’s most enduring franchises gets a new chapter with the premiere of this series, which will be seen regularly on the streaming service CBS All Access. Sonequa Martin-Green (“The Walking Dead”) has the central role as a human Starfleet officer who was raised on Vulcan, giving her mixed sensibilities as she explores new worlds and new civilizations. Jason Isaacs, James Frain, Michelle Yeoh, Doug Jones and Anthony Rapp also are in the cast.

8:30 p.m. on CBS Young Sheldon It’s never certain that a beloved character from an ensemble comedy can carry his (or her) own show, but “The Big Bang Theory’s” Sheldon is so well-defined, it would take some doing for him to fail as the center of a series — even in his younger years. In this new spinoff’s “Pilot,” Iain Armitage emulates Jim Parsons (who’s the narrator here) as Sheldon Cooper’s famously advanced mind perplexes nearly everyone.

The show starts its regular run in November.

9 p.m. on CBS SEAL Team On the heels of a dozen years on “Bones,” it’s not taking long for David Boreanaz to report for series duty again. His new character is, of course, a member of the elite brigade of Navy officers sent on dangerous missions whenever necessary ... typically without much, if any, prep time. Other cast members in the premiere, ‘Tip of the Spear,‘ include Jessica Pare (alias Megan on “Mad Men”), Max Thieriot and ex-“CSI‘ NY” regular A.J. Buckley.

10 p.m. on ABC Designated Survivor Kiefer Sutherland’s current drama series begins its second season with the appropriately titled episode “One Year In,” which shows his President Tom Kirkman more acclimated to the Oval Office and all that sitting in it entails — but not entirely. Others still would prefer to see him removed from a position they don’t feel he’s qualified for, but he knows his work isn’t done yet. Natascha McElhone, Italia Ricci, Kal Penn and Maggie Q continue as co-stars.

8 p.m. on ABC Grey’s Anatomy Series mentor Shonda Rhimes is moving to Netflix to develop new programming, but she’s still steering the ship for this medical-drama staple — as proven by a two-hour opener for its 14th season that combines two episodes, “Break Down the House” and “Get Off on the Pain.” The saga picks up where last spring’s literally explosive finale left off as Abigail Spencer (“Timeless”) joins the cast.

Ellen Pompeo and Kevin McKidd (who directed the second hour) also star.

10 p.m. on NBC Saturday Night Live

Jason Isaacs

TUESDAY 9 p.m. on FOX The Mick The posh surroundings that Mickey (Kaitlin Olson) found herself in were a big part of this comedy’s initial stories, but her accommodations get a major downgrade as Season 2 opens with “The Hotel.” That describes where she now has to reside, along with her young charges, after their ample spending prompts the capping of their funds. Sabrina and Chip (Sofia Black-D’Elia, Thomas Bar-

Edie Falco busca) are determined to continue living well, though — as is Mickey.

10:01 p.m. on NBC Law & Order True Crime: The Menendez Murders One of television’s longest-running franchises gets a new wrinkle, as executive producer Dick Wolf opts for a true story rather than fictionalizing headlines. Not unlike “The People v. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story,” this drama involves figures familiar to anyone who followed the case of two brothers (played by Gus Halper and Miles Gaston Villanueva) accused of killing their parents. Edie Falco returns to series TV as defense attorney Leslie Abramson.

FRIDAY

8 p.m. on ABC Marvel’s Inhumans The “ Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.” won’t be back until midseason, but this new show ensures a Marvel-ous time still is had now. Anson Mount (“Hell on Wheels”) plays the king of the Inhumans, whose refuge in Hawaii may be not only their own salvation, but that of the entire planet. These first two episodes, “Behold ... The Inhumans” and “Those Who Would Destroy Us,” got a two-week run in IMAX theaters first. Iwan Rheon, Serinda Swan and Ken Leung also star.

A summer of political developments undoubtedly filled the coffers of this show’s writers and performers — and though “Weekend Update” got a primetime run, it’s business for real as the late-night staple debuts its 43rd season. Ryan Gosling, whose movie “Blade Runner 2049” is about to open, returns as guest host — with Jay-Z, riding high on the success of his album “4:44,” as the musical guest. Alec Baldwin is expected to return as President Donald Trump.

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

Bio:

Fun FaCT:

Chef Robert grew up in Canada and made his way to the States when his dad transferred for work to Tennessee.

After bouncing around the country in New Orleans, Marco Island, Hilton Head and Tampa working for the Marriott, he landed the executive chef position at the Marriott Atlanta Peachtree Corners.

As a kid, growing up in Canada, I took 2 years of figure skating to be a better hockey skater...It’s a Canadian thing to do!

Culinary BaCkground/ Training: I’m a graduate of Le Cordon Bleu in Pittsburgh, which gave me a good basic foundation, but working in the field with culinary veterans and being hands on, has given me the most training. I’m still learning something new everyday.

FavoriTe Culinary MeMory: While working at the Kurrent’s Restaurant on Marco Island I had the prestigious honor to cook dinner at the James Beard House in New York (James Beard was a champion of American cuisine and his foundation continues to educate and honor the culinary/food industry).

on My BuCkeT lisT: To take a trip to Seattle...never been and I’d like to experience and taste all of the fresh seafood. Big fan of seafood and I’ve experienced what the Atlantic and Gulf have to offer and now I need to taste the Pacific fare.

One of the more hilarious outcomes of the last election is that some leftist professors have made George Orwell’s novel “Nineteen Eighty-Four” required reading — as if Donald Trump were somehow the fulfillment of Orwell’s dystopian prophecies.

Really? After eight years of the most Orwellian presidential administration in history, NOW we should read “Nineteen Eighty-Four”?

Let’s see. Under Barack Obama, the NSA was spying, Big Brotherlike, on its own citizens — with the president’s full knowledge. The IRS was unleashed against conservative political groups and individuals.

Common words, like “marriage,” “gender” and “insurance” completely changed meaning.

It doesn’t get any more Orwellian than that.

Another totalitarian concept that gained favor during Obama’s presidency was that of “hate crimes,” which is really just another term for what Orwell called “thought crimes.”

When you prosecute someone for an alleged hate crime, you’re actually attempting to penalize them, not for what they did, but for what they were thinking at the time. That’s in direct opposition to the First Amendment, which reads as follows: “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably

Best BBQ Shrimp & Grits ever!

Meet Buster, a 5-year-old shepherd mix. Buster has a soft, beautiful coat and is an expert at the “sit” command.

Grayson High student creates cover art for father’s book A Grayson High School

Good News from schools student is now a published cover artist.

Freshman Janai Brown created the cover art for two of her father’s books.

Janai’s father, Kevin Brown, explained how his daughter landed the job.

“After writing the second book in the ‘Hard Knocks High’ series, I had a vision for how I wanted the book cover to look. I searched through what seemed like hundreds of stock photos but none of them spoke to me,” Brown said. “I wanted something more abstract for my book cover, something that an artist or painter would create. The best artist I know is my super talented daughter, Janai. I told her what I wanted and she was able to immortalize my vision on canvas and in turn I scanned and turned it into my book cover.

The father said he plans to keep the cover art “in the family” for his third book.

Lanier brothers publish book together Lanier High students Anthony and Jeremhy Cesar have written a book that’s available at major bookstores called “Molly & Mousey: The Idiotic Husband.”

In a description about the book on Amazon, the brothers growing up in the early 2000s witnessed “many humorous events that they were anxious to revive.”

They decided to relive these events through the creation of Molly and Mousey.

Molly and Mousey allowed them to retell these stories on a broader perspective as these stories unfolded over and over inside their minds.

This book is expected to be the first in a series.
