and a decision made,” Porter said.

The DA’s office assisted Gwinnett County Public Schools police in the case after it was notified, as required by law, and helped that department gather evidence and write search warrants. But as far as Porter knows, no decision was made in terms of

charges.

Porter is regularly informed about cases like this, but this particular one stood out.

“The thing that caught our attention was the officer was a former county officer and we knew who he was and we knew he had never investigated a sex crime and we called

to help,” said Porter, who added that he typically looks for cases to play out in the normal police process. “I don’t like to interfere in their ability to make decisions about their decision to prosecute cases until they come to me.”

The female victim in the case reported to a teacher

that she was forced by another student to engage in a sex act at school in FebruDanny Porter ary 2015.

After school police were called in, both students were disciplined.

GARDEN PLAZA ANNUAL HOLIDAY

BAZAAR

Vendors, crafters and home businesses welcome!

SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 12, 9 A.M. - 3 P.M. 440173-2

Like a large group of siblings, Gwinnett County’s cities like to rib each other and jest about who is the best at just about anything.

The friendly spirit of competition spreads across a wide range of activities.

What is at stake is something arguably more valuable than gold or other riches.

It’s about bragging rights.

Who has the best festivals? Who has the best downtown area? Which city is the best place to live?

This year, that spirit will take the form of a competition to see which city can collect the most food during a collection challenge the Gwinnett Municipal Association is overseeing as part of this year’s Gwinnett Great Days of Service.

Food collected by each city will go to their local food co-op.

“I believe the term I’ve heard used to describe things like this is ‘coopertition’ or something like that,” Municipal Association Executive Director Randy Meacham said. “It’s just something to show the cities care about their communities because it’s not like one area of the county gets something from this and another doesn’t.”

The food challenge, which is the brain child of Snellville City Councilman Dave Emanuel, is just one of the ways Gwinnett County residents can get involved in the 17th annual Great Days of Service this year.

The Gwinnett Coalition is looking for volunteers from across the community to sign up to participate in one of several projects that will be taking place around the county Oct. 21-22 by searching for volunteer events at www.volunteergwinnett.net. Great Days of Service organizers have also placed information about the initiative at www.gwinnettgreatdaysofservice.org.

Last year, about 97,000 volunteers — including several children working on projects at their schools — participated in 420 Great Days of Service projects around the county. Those volunteers spent more than 300,000 hours working

Come enjoy a fun-filled day at Garden Plaza to welcome the holiday season! Admission is free for the whole family. Local vendors and crafters will be featured.

Insecticides pack deadly punch for mosquitoes, Zika REUTERS The unprecedented aerial spraying of products that kill both adult mosquitoes as well as their larvae delivered a strong

blow that has stopped direct transmission of the Zika virus in the Wynwood section of Miami, U.S. and Florida health officials said on Friday.

The trendy neighbor-

hood in June became the first in the continental United States with a local outbreak of Zika, a mosquito-borne virus that can cause severe birth defects in infected pregnant

women.

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on Monday declared Wynwood free of Zika, saying there had been no cases of infection

there in the past 45 days.

Even so, the federal agency urged pregnant women to consider putting off nonessential travel to the neighborhood to avoid risk of infection.

On a conference call with reporters on Friday, CDC Director Tom Frieden said infections in Wynwood appeared to stop soon after aerial applica-

tions of naled, a chemical long used in the United States to kill adult mosquitoes, and of a larvicide called Bti that is a naturally occurring bacterium.

The combination of pesticides that separately target adults and larvae of the mosquito that carries Zika, called Aedes aegypti, was unprecedented, he said.

Local celebrates 100th birthday

BY ERIKA WELLS

erika.wells @gwinnettdailypost.com Adult day care provides caregivers wih much-neede respite, giving them a break to run errands, spend time with family or just get away from the stress of caregiving. But when a parent has Alzheimer’s disease, caregivers tend to be more reluctant to leave them at an adult day care.

There are adult day care centers that specialize in caring for people with dementia and Alzheimer’s disease. Activities are designed for them and staff are trained in the disease. Typically people with dementia most often atten thse programs during the day and return home in the evening.

Is Adult Day Care Right for your Parent? Consider the following: Does the dementia suffered seem unable to procide any structure for their daily acitiviest?

Are they isolated from others for more than an hour or two each day and miss companionship?

Does the caregiver work outside the home or need a regular break?

Benefits of Adult Day Services.

Alzheimer’s day care centers offer a host of benefits for caregivers and parents. They provide a safe environment with safety features to prevent wandering and other common behaviors. Staff is trained to pay attention and look for signs of trouble or dangeroud behaviors.

Activities, exercise and socialization are tailored to dementia and Alzheimer’s patients. Most centers serve meals throught the day. These programs may be available at senior centers, assisted living faciliies and hursing homes. Day care programs can also include crafts, music, and exercise and some offer physica, occupational and speech therapy.

Staff will also assist with personal needs and coordinated care between physicians, family and other care providers.

Hours and Costs of Adult Cay Programs They can run from several hours to a full day. Participants may attend daily, a few times a week, or just for special occasions. Weekend and evening care are less common, although this is changing as demand for adult daycare rises. Daily fees average about $56, some adult day care centers charge an additional fee for transportation, some offer it free.

Costs vary depending on location, the type of program and how many hours are used. Most programs are nonprofits and many offer a sliding scale of fees based on income. Unfortunately, most insurance plans don’t cover these costs.

Adult day care may be paid for completely or in part by Medicaid, longterm insurance or veterans benefits. State Medicaid programs may pay for a range of additional care provided by state-licensed facilities. Know your total out-of-pocket costs and any discounts before any commitment As with anything involving finances and work agreements, get it in writing.

With a crown on her head and a corset pinned to her floral blazer, a Lawrenceville woman celebrated a century of life with a gathering fit for a queen Friday.

The family and friends of Josephine Laura Austin Izett, known as “Jo,” held a fall-themed birthday party for the resident of The Bridge at Lawrenceville. The event took place in what the staff jokingly called the “penthouse,” or the top floor of the two-level assisted living facility.

During the party, Jo kept smiling and saying “I’m so lucky.” She said, “I love you so much,” as she greeted her children, grandchildren, greatgrandchildren and extended family — some made a surprise visit from across the country. She met her two great-grands Ryker, 6, and Berkley, 8, who live out of state.

“This feels like a family reunion with everyone spending time together,” said Jo’s daughter Joanne Adamowski from Oregon.

Adamowski was grateful to be part of her mother’s big day. “I don’t have any friends who have mothers who are still alive. It’s really unusual.”

Although Jo has difficulty hearing and she didn’t say much, her personality lit up the room, which was decorated in orange, burgundy and brown hues with cake, ice cream, punch and balloons making it a big celebration. A special table was filled with framed photos of Jo and her family throughout the years.

The Ionia, Mich., native

lived in small towns in the northern part of the state in her early years before she moved to Flint.

Jo graduated high school and attended Hurley School of Nursing

in Flint, where she met her future husband John Stewart.

John and Jo married Nov. 7, 1936, and had three children Joanne, James and Judith who they raised in Flint. John worked for General Motors and graduated from the company’s institute while Jo was devoted to

being a wife and mother.

The family relocated to two other cities before the couple retired in Fort Myers, Fla., in 1972. After what they call “25 golden years,” the pair moved to the Atlanta area near family.

Before staying at The Bridge, Jo attended St. Luke’s Presbyterian Church in Dunwoody. She said the church members regularly visit her at the facility.

“Jo spent years as a volunteer in hospitals and was a talented, creative person whose hobbies included bridge, golf, and knitting and crocheting,” according to her biography. “She is an avid coloring enthusiast whose many creations have been displayed at The Bridge.”

Nina Landry, a resident who attended the party, couldn’t miss her friend Jo’s birthday party.

“She’s always been such a sweet lady,” Landry said.

“We always sit together and eat at the same table; there are five of us. We might not say much, but we enjoy being together.”

As the party continued, so did the tears that fell from Jo’s eyes as more relatives showed up.

Still overwhelmed, all she could say was, “I’m so lucky,” and “I love you so much.”

Keith Roach

A slow heartbeat can cause symptoms DEAR DR. ROACH: I am a 65-year-old man who has enjoyed running on a regular basis for most of my life. I’m not an exercise fanatic by any means, usually running four miles three to four times per week. My resting heart rate normally has been in the 50s, which has never created any problems for me. But this past year, my heart rate has been consistently in the mid-40s. I suspect that my bradycardia is the cause of a particularly bothersome symptom that I’ve been experiencing for the past several months: Almost every time I stand up after having been sitting for any length of time, I experience noticeable lightheadedness and weakness in my legs. Twice I have lost consciousness for a few seconds and fallen to the ground.

My systolic blood pressure has always been in the 100-115 range, but occasionally has been in the 90s. I can’t say what happens to my BP when I experience fainting episodes, since they last such a short time. My family doctor suggested that dehydration might be the cause, but increasing my fluid intake has not had any effect.

My medication list includes Synthroid (100 mcg) for hyperthyroidism, and Pravachol (40 mg) for high cholesterol. I have no other medical issues.

Is there a medication that would help with my problem, or am I in need of an implanted pacemaker?

— T.M. ANSWER: “Bradycardia” comes from the Greek roots for “slow” and “heart,” and it is defined by a heart rate below 60. Many athletes have heart rates below 60, and as long as they aren’t having any symptoms, they don’t require any treatment. However, I agree with you that your recent symptoms of lightheadedness and even fainting upon standing are likely to be related to your slow heart rate.

In emergencies, we use medication for short-term increase of heart rate. For long-term use, a permanent pacemaker is the definitive treatment. A cardiologist (some of whom specialize in rhythm disturbances) may elect to do further testing, or may recommend a pacemaker, based on your clinical evaluation.

Your doctor should make sure that your thyroid level is normal, since very low thyroid can cause a slow heart rate, though I doubt that is your issue.

The booklet on heart attacks, America’s No. 1 killer, explains what happens, how they are treated and how they are avoided.

world&nation nation Charlotte police to release videos of fatal shooting of black man CHARLOTTE, N.C. — The Charlotte police will release body camera and dashboard videos showing the fatal shooting of a black man that triggered rioting in the city, the police chief said on Saturday, following calls from protesters and civil rights leaders to make the footage public.

The shooting on Tuesday of Keith Scott, a 43-year-old father of seven, was the latest in a series of deadly police encounters across the country in recent years that has raised questions about the use of force by U.S. law enforcement against African-Americans and other minorities.

Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Chief Kerr Putney told a news conference that the evidence shows Scott was in possession a handgun and marijuana during the confrontation with police.

“They look in the car and they see the marijuana, they don’t act. They see the gun and they think they need to,” Putney said of the officers at the scene, who had gone to the Charlotte neighborhood to serve a warrant on a different person.

Fourteen hurt when school bus overturns in Texas A school bus overturned in southeast Texas on Friday, injuring more than a dozen students and the driver, the local sheriff and school district said.

The bus rolled over while carrying students from schools in Crosby, Texas, northeast of Houston, the Harris County Sheriff’s Office said on Twitter.

“We can confirm there are multiple injuries reported — we are not aware of the extent of injuries,” the sheriff’s office said in a second tweet.

Crosby Independent School District said in a post on its Facebook page that 14 people, including the driver, had been transported to local hospitals by ambulance.

Several hours later the school district said that the driver and all of the students had been released from the hospitals.

Cops seek shooter who killed 5 Man opened fire in Wash. state mall Friday night

By Matt Mills McKnight Reuters

BURLINGTON, Wash.

— A manhunt was underway on Saturday in northwest Washington state for a gunman who opened fire with a rifle in a shopping mall and killed five people before disappearing under the cover of darkness, authorities said.

The suspect entered the Cascade Mall in Burlington, around 65 miles north of Seattle, and began shooting at about 7 p.m. local time on Friday in the cosmetics section of a Macy’s department store, police said.

The unidentified suspect, who police described on Twitter as an Hispanic male, initially walked into the shopping center without the rifle but surveillance video later caught him brandishing the weapon, said Lt. Chris Cammock of the Mount Vernon Police Department at briefing on Saturday.

The rifle was later recovered at the mall, said Cammock, who is commander of the Skagit County MultiAgency Response Team.

Four women were killed in the rampage, which police believe was carried out by a lone gunman. Later a man who was seriously wounded

in the shooting died at a local hospital. None of the victims were identified.

Steve Sexton, the mayor of Burlington, described the shooting as a “senseless act.”

“It was the world knocking on our doorstep and it came to our little community here,” he said before acknowledging the response by law enforcement. “I know now our support goes with them to bring this son of a ----- to justice.”

Authorities offered no information about a possible motive for the attack, which followed a series of violent outbursts at shopping centers across the United States, including the stabbing of nine people

at a Minnesota center last weekend.

“We have no indication that we have a terrorism act,” said Michael Knutson, assistant special agent in charge of the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s Seattle office. “I can’t discount that, but I can’t conclude it either.”

After the shooting, police and rescue workers worked their way through the mall, clearing stores and evacuating shoppers, some of whom locked themselves in dressing rooms. The mall remained closed on Saturday as investigators sifted for evidence and attempted to recreate the crime scene.

Cammock said police had no clues about the

Thousands march in Dublin, abroad for Irish abortion rights

DUBLIN — Thousands of protestors marched in Dublin, and Irish expatriates joined in demonstrations around the world on Saturday, to put pressure on the Irish government to hold a referendum to repeal restrictive abortion laws.

Regulations in the once stridently Catholic Ireland are among the strictest in the world and next month Prime Minister Enda Kenny will call a citizens’ assembly to advise the government on whether a vote should be held to boost access to abortion.

Demonstrators marched in the rain on government buildings from Dublin’s main thoroughfare of O’Connell Street, bringing traffic to a standstill by the River Liffey as they chanted, beat drums Cruz endorses and held placards saying Trump at last “My Body, My Choice.”

Authorities released a grainy photo of the suspect taken by a surveillance camera. It shows a young male in his late teens or mid-20s with short dark hair, dressed in dark shorts and T-shirt and carrying a rifle.

Local authorities searched through the night for the gunman and warned residents to remain indoors, though later said the area was safe.

The suspect was last seen walking toward an interstate highway that runs past the mall, which is 45 miles south of the Canadian province of British Columbia.

Work on rat sex life, living as badger honored at Ig Nobel Prizes

By Scott Malone Reuters

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. — Scientific research into how polyester pants affect the sex life of rats, what it’s like for a human to live like a badger and how different the world looks when viewed through your legs was honored at this year’s Ig Nobel spoof awards.

The group also took a dig at Volkswagen AG, lauding it in chemistry for engineering its ve-

Must read hicles to produce fewer emissions “whenever the cars are being tested.”

The prizes will be awarded for a 26th straight year at Harvard University in Cambridge, Mass., on Thursday by a group of actual Nobel Prize winners, and are intended to honor accomplishments in science and humanities that make one laugh, then think.

“The prizes are for something pretty unusual,” said Marc Abrahams, editor of the Annals of Improbable Research and host of the awards. “Almost any other kind of award is for the best or worst. Best or worst is irrelevant to us.”

Timeliness is also of limited consideration: The Ig Nobel Reproduction Prize went to the late Ahmed Shafik of Egypt, who died in 2007, for a 1993 paper documenting that rats who wore

polyester or polyester-cotton blend pants were less sexually active than those who wore cotton or wool pants or conformed to rat norms and wore no garments of any kind.

The paper suggested that “electrostatic fields” created by polyester pants could play a role in impotence.

“We have never heard of anybody else who carefully spent time examining what happens sexually to rats if you put pants

on them,” Abrahams said.

Two Britons split this year’s Biology Ig Nobel. Oxford University fellow Charles Foster, was honored for his book “Being a Beast,” chronicling his experiments in living as a badger, including digging a den to sleep in and eating worms.

Countryman Thomas Thwaites’ work was in a similar vein; he built a set of prosthetic leg extensions to try living like a goat in Switzerland.

In the High Plains, a Republican to support AURORA, Colo. — Here on the High Plains, where the deer and the antelope once played, Denver’s suburbs roam toward the Rockies’ front range and the nature of today’s polyglot politics is written in the local congressman’s campaign schedule. One day last week, Republican Mike Coffman went from a Hispanic charter school in a strip mall, to another strip mall for lunch at an Ethiopian restaurant with leaders George of the Ethiopian-AmerWill ican community, then to a meeting with the editor of the largest of two Korean-language newspapers serving more than 3,000 Korean-Americans in the metropolitan area.

Coffman was elected to Congress in 2008 with 61 percent of the vote, replacing Tom Tancredo, a firebrand who that year ineffectually ran for president as a scourge of illegal immigrants. Coffman’s thinking was somewhat congruent with Tancredo’s. Then, however, the political market — aka democracy — began to work, with an assist from Democrats, who inadvertently made Coffman a better politician and person.

After he was re-elected with 66 percent in 2010, his district was gerrymandered to make it more Democratic — 20 percent Hispanic, with a generous salting of other minorities. He won in 2012 with just 48 percent of the vote. In 2014, national Democrats recruited a formidable opponent, a Yale graduate who had taught in Spanish in Central American schools. So Coffman learned Spanish well enough to do an entire debate in the language, and today banters in Spanish with the children at Roca Fuerte Academy.

The pastor who founded it in 2008 says this charter school is anathema to, and underfunded by, the local school district, which is obedient to the teachers union, which dislikes charters that are not obedient to it. The district’s schools have just a 61 percent graduation rate. Roca Fuerte Academy does better.

Some of the academy’s pupils in their school uniforms are antecedents of the pronoun in Donald Trump’s four-word immigration policy: “They have to go.” They were brought here by illegal immigrants. Trump wants to send them “home” to countries they do not remember. Coffman has co-authored legislation that would provide legal status and a path to lawful permanent resident status to those who came before age 16, have lived here five consecutive years and who have been accepted to a college or vocational school, have demonstrated an intent to enlist in the military or possess a valid work authorization.

At the Nile restaurant, Coffman’s cowboy boots go beneath a table groaning under the weight of trays laden with Ethiopian food that is eaten without utensils, scooped up with bits torn from rolls of bread as thin and flexible as fabric. Coffman sits next to an Orthodox bishop who is wearing a cassock and a glittering pectoral cross. As guests arrive, several kiss a crucifix he holds. He speaks scant English but draws 1,500 to Sunday services. Many of those around the table have been in America for at least a decade and are citizens and small-business entrepreneurs. Ethiopians are Colorado’s second-largest immigrant community and are grateful for Coffman’s attempts to pressure Ethiopia’s authoritarian government to stop using violence against protesters. Coffman attends the annual “Taste of Ethiopia” festival here in America’s Mountain West and “Ethiopians for Coffman” might matter in November. As might the Korean-American community, which continues to honor those Americans who, like Coffman’s father, fought in the Korean War. Coffman, 61, enlisted in the Army before receiving his high school diploma, which he earned while serving. After leaving the Army and graduating from the University of Colorado, he went to Marine Corps officer training. When he left the Corps he became a state legislator until called back into uniform in 1991 for the Gulf War. In 2005, he resigned as state treasurer to serve a tour of duty with the Marines in Iraq. There he helped organize elections in a place where diversity is rather more problematic than in Colorado’s 6th Congressional District.

His opponent this year, who dislikes charter schools and school choice, does not speak fluent Spanish and, unlike almost all candidates challenging incumbents, does not seem to want many debates — she even declined the Denver Post’s.

Coffman thinks she does not want anything to distract from her theme, which is: Trump is a Republican and so is Coffman.

In early August, however, Coffman acted preemptively with a television ad that began: “People ask me, ‘What do you think about Trump?’

Honestly, I don’t care for him much.” Spoken like a Marine who does 10 sets of 50 pushups daily.

Let’s remember the courageous I have been dreading next Saturday for a long time. I will be attending my first tailgate in Athens of the 2016 season.

Usually there is nothing but joy beneath the oak trees with friends, food, family and Southern football. Next Saturday will be a little tough. No it won’t. It will be a lot tough.

I’ll explain.

Six or seven times a year for more years than I can recall, I have completed the same ritual on game day Saturdays.

We drive over to Athens and park our car in virtually the same spot just off Agriculture Drive. We cross the parking lot and start down the steps to where our group’s tailgate has been set up, for decades

by Dan Ragsdale and Wheeler Davidson, more recently by son Jackson and his friends.

As I walked down the steps I would wave and nod at those in my group, but before joining them I would turn to my right and greet our tailgate neighbors — shaking the hands of Steve Shaw, who hails from Rome, nodding at his beautiful wife, Donna, and shaking the hand of Jim Lord of Forsyth.

Then I would get a special hug from Jim’s wife, Melinda.

Melinda and I went way back, you see. We went all the way back to ninth grade.

Melinda Lord was to me and always will be Melinda Hays

Now I told you all of that to tell you this. A few years ago Melinda was forced to battle with breast cancer, that inDarrell Huckaby sidious disease that claims the lives of 40,000 women each year. She fought hard, like the Lord from Mansfield — a vital champion she is, and faced part of that prominent Mansthe beast with courage and field family and a high school grace and a smile on her face. classmate of mine. Newton And she beat the cancer back.

The this time last fall Melinda and next week I would sit in that Jim and their friends Donna

and Steve were looking forward to joining Lisa and me on a January trip to Hawaii. The week before our departure I got a call from Jim — that call nobody ever wants to get. Melinda’s body had been weakened from her cancer and all of the horrible treatments she had received to combat it. You realize, of course, that drugs that are strong enough to kill and destroy cancerous cells do damage to healthy cells, right?

In war they call it collateral damage.

Melinda had been battling recurrent tumors in various parts of her body, and she had finally succumbed. A great lady had left us far too soon — a very gracious, loving lady who lived a Christ-centered life and served her community and was a wonderful wife, mother, grandmother and friend was taken from us.

And that’s why I dread Saturday, because I will park my car and walk down those steps and look to my right, and my good friend will not be there.

I will hug Jim, and I’ll cry and tell him how sorry I am that we haven’t gotten together and I will wonder why I am still around and Melinda is gone.

May she rest in peace, but may we never rest until we find a cure. For Melinda and all the victims — and for those who are left behind.

Drought may call for divine solution Uh-oh. Here we go again. I have been told that we are beginning to experience drought conditions in the state. Somebody needs to alert Dr. Gil Watson, the World’s Greatest Preacher. There is no question he can soon have some serious raindrops falling on our heads.

You may remember that the last time we were in a severe drought in Georgia, then-Gov. George E. Perdue had a prayer session at the state Capitol and invited Dr. Gil to come pray for rain. I’m not sure why Dr. Gil was selected, but it may have had something to do with the governor’s innovative “Go Fish, Georgia” program, a $23 million initiative that was created in the middle of a recession and was designed to make Georgia competitive in the 21st-century global marketplace.

I’m a little hazy on the details today, but as near as I can recall, the idea was that while India and China were busy turning out engineers and scientists, Georgia would be teaching our next generation of leaders how to catch fish instead.

By teaching a child to fish, we wouldn’t have to teach them anything else and we could lay off public school teachers, which would more than pay for the concrete boat ramps for the ponds. The idea

Dick Yarbrough was so cutting-edge, not even India or China could figure out why we were doing this.

Neither could I. If our lakes dried up, it stood to reason that the fish would get upset and not even a visionary like George E. Perdue would be able to coax them into voluntarily biting a sharp barbed hook. Unlike engineers and scientists, fish can be very temperamental.

So Gov. Perdue invited Dr. Gil to come to the Capitol and pray for rain and thereby keep “Go Fish, Georgia” afloat.

That was a smart move. It is a known fact that God likes Dr. Gil a lot and is inclined to do whatever he asks. God also likes women preachers and doesn’t like us carrying guns to church, but that is a subject for another day.

A gaggle of atheists got their politically correct shorts in a wad and protested the fact that someone was going to (gasp!) pray on government property.

They shouldn’t have bothered.

Another known fact is that God doesn’t pay them any more attention than do the rest of us.

It should come as no surprise that once Dr. Gil Watson, the World’s Greatest Preacher, got through praying, it started raining and soon our lakes and rivers, and even Gov. George E. Perdue’s fish ponds, were replenished. The farmers were happy. Recreationists were happy. The governor was happy. Even the fish were happy, and I told you how temperamental they can be.

The only ones who weren’t happy were the atheists. That is because their politically correct shorts got seriously mildewed.

That made God happy.

Now, it looks like we could be facing another dry spell in Georgia. The decision on what to do about it is now in the hands of Gov. Nathan Deal. Gov. Deal is a devout Baptist,but I wouldn’t be surprised if he hasn’t already put Dr. Gil Watson, a card-carrying Methodist, on his speed dial so he can get this drought over and done with.

That would give the governor more time to concentrate on other matters, such as the upcoming constitutional amendment on Opportunity School Districts. If the amendment is approved by Georgia

voters in November, it would allow the state to take control of low-performing schools, which Gov. Deal favors and which almost everybody involved in public education doesn’t. The governor’s argument is that the status quo isn’t working and something different needs to be done. The opposition’s argument is that if the state would spend more time trying to fix the things that are wrong with our society, that would likely fix the things that are wrong with our schools and then we wouldn’t need a constitutional amendment. I think God is going to let us work this one out for ourselves.

If the earthly powers that be want a divine solution on how to break this drought, they had better get hold of Dr. Gil Watson, the World’s Greatest Preacher, sooner rather than later. The man has a lot on his plate. For one thing, he is currently spending every waking hour and a few sleepless nights trying to figure out how to make me a kinder and gentler soul. God knows even the atheists would consider that a miracle.

Fall festival makes Duluth place to be

By Chris Stephens Staff Correspondent

DULUTH — For the 34th straight year, Duluth put on its fall festival as more than 100,000 people from all over entered the city for food, fun, entertainment and shopping.

The festival helps embody the idea of Duluth’s city council and staff to make the downtown area a destination place.

“We’re so proud that the entire city shares this vision,” Harris said. “The fall festival allows us to show off the downtown area and bring in so many people that might not come here otherwise.”

The festival showcased more entertainment this year, with multiple stages for performances, a fair, shopping and multiple Pokestops.

But for Harris, the thing she is most proud of is the fact that all of the proceeds from the festival go back to the downtown.

“We’re able to do so much with the downtown area because of the festival,” she said. “The festival center was built with money made from the festival.

“We’re also able to add some ambience items around the downtown that

Over where Dreamland Barbecue is at, instead of just having a concrete plaza, we were able to spruce it up and make it look good. We’re also adding public art to help make the city unlike any other.”

The documents include resident cards, travel documents and employment authorization paperwork, according to the congressman’s office.

“Ensuring these documents reach the men and women to whom they belong is certainly the goal, and by achieving it we can be certain they aren’t falling into the hands of those with ill intent,” Woodall said in a statement. “When I received calls from constituents who never received the documents for which they paid — not to mention rightfully earned — I went to work on a common-sense solution.”

Woodall accepting service academy nominations Woodall also recently announced his office is accepting applications from high school students who would like to be nominated for appointments to U.S. service academies through early October.

The deadline to submit an application to Woodall’s office in Lawrenceville is 5 p.m. on Oct. 7. Questions can also be directed to Debra Poirot at 770-2323005, and additional information about the nomination process can be found at woodall.house.gov.

“Every year I’m fortunate to nominate intelligent and hard-working Seventh District students for appointments to the U.S. Service Academies, and I’m excited to see what this class holds as we enter into the nomination process,” Woodall said in a statement. “I’m always inspired by their passion for service, and am confident this year will be no different.”

Those in attendance also were shown the daily life of Union and Confederate soldiers, and had a chance to hold actual weapons and items from that era, as well as learn about all contributions that were made.

You clear the land and build your house and your town.

and that’s why the family went to the media.

“Their hope is that the attention on this case will result in changes in policies and practices that will ensure their experience isn’t repeated when other students

come forward in similar situations,” Kimmel said. “Both the D.A. and Gwinnett County school officials have a role in making sure that students who report sexual assault receive the support they need and deserve.”

Wilson said one of the nice things to see is the Man Corner, where there are not only a bunch of items tailored to men, but also a place to sit down and watch college football.

Gwinnett County residents will have a chance to hear from candidates seeking several offices this week.

New Jerusalem Baptist Church’s Political Action Ministry, the United Ebony Society, the Gwinnett County Alumnae chapter of Delta Sigma Theta sorority and Raising Empowered Voices Uplifting People Inc. will host a Gwinnett County Candidates Forum at 6:30 p.m. on Thursday.

The gathering will give voters a chance to hear from candidates in the races for county commission chairman, commissioner District 3 and state House of Representatives districts 81, 96, 101, 102, 105 and 108. Former Snellville Mayor Kelly Kautz will moderate the forum.

“The purpose of the candidate forum is to give Gwinnett voters an opportunity to hear candidates discuss the issues of importance to them in this election,” organizers said in an announcement. “This event is free and open to the public as well as the media.”

The church is located at 422 E. Crogan St., in Lawrenceville.

The fall general election will be held on Nov. 8, but voters can begin casting their ballots when early voting begins Oct. 17.

The voter registration deadline for the general election is Oct. 11.

House passes Woodall’s documentation security bill The U.S. House of Representatives passed legislation co-sponsored

by Rep. Rob Woodall, R-Ga., aimed at giving people going through the immigration process more options to receive important documents from the federal government this past week.

The Strengthening the Department of Homeland Security Secure Mail Initiative Act gives immigrants the option to have key documents sent with a signature required upon delivery. Woodall’s office said the existing system does not favor immigrants because if the documentation is lost in the mail, the

Ten of Gwinnett’s 16 cities are participating in the competition — which is taking the “Give Hunger the Boot” name from the competition between Snellville and Grayson —

this year. The participating municipalities include Berkeley Lake, Duluth, Grayson, Lawrenceville, Loganville, Norcross, Peachtree Corners, Snellville, Sugar Hill and Suwanee.

Each city has a volunteer coordinator.

The cities will collect canned food and nonperishable items — basically any food product that won’t spoil — through Oct. 22.

Police to put on recruiting GMC to host walk event in upstate New York to help fight cancer From Staff Reports Whether the challenge is keeping officers or bringing in new ones, the Gwinnett County Police Department is seeking a fresh approach to its recruiting efforts.

On Oct. 22, Gwinnett police will visit upstate New York to host a recruiting expo at SUNY-Erie Community College’s North Campus in Williamsville from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. The event is one of several the department will promote through mobile advertising and Twitter, said Cpl. Michele Pihera, a spokeswoman.

“One thing is certain — the old ways of getting candidates no longer works for most agencies,” Pihera said. “In other words, most agencies cannot sit back and wait for the applicants to come to them.”

The New York event will include an opportunity to learn about the agency and Gwinnett County, an orientation, a physical fitness assessment and a Q&A session.

Pihera highlighted the benefits of considering joining the agency including a background check process that is shorter than wait times in New York and other metro Atlanta agencies.

“Also, by running three to four police academies a year, applicants don’t have to wait to apply with GCPD,” Pihera said.

There’s no way to pretty it up: Cancer is an ugly disease.

It’s for that reason, however, that Gwinnett Medical Center officials are preparing to fight back with its inaugural Paint Georgia Pink 5K walk at Coolray Field. Hospital officials said their Center for Cancer Care worked with cancer patients who had been newly diagnosed in 2014. Those figures include 350 people who had been diagnosed with breast cancer.

“Some of those patients relied on access provided through GMC Foundation funding,” officials said in a statement. “Proceeds from Paint Georgia Pink will benefit the hospital system’s foundation in an effort to increase community support.”

The walk will be held at 8 a.m. on Oct. 1, serving as a sort of kickoff event for Breast Cancer Awareness Month, when supporters of finding a cure for the disease push the community to wear pink.

That is the color used to represent awareness of breast cancer.

Participants will be encouraged to dress up in costumes for the walk as well because the theme of the event will be “Capes and Crowns.”

That’s right, participants will be encouraged to be like Frozen’s Elsa and let cancer go, or to act like a superhero and knock the disease out.

“Get those Superman capes and those ​princess crowns all shiny and ready to go,” officials wrote on the walk’s website, gwinnettmedi-

calcenter.org/pgp. “We are giving prizes to the best costumes so get your costume ready for a great walk and a fabulous day.”

The money is expected to help Gwinnett Medical Center make sure residents have access to advanced detection technology that will tell them if they have breast cancer or not. That technology, according to a flyer for the walk, includes imaging equipment, cancer treatment assistance and the ability to get surgical consultations and mammograms.

Anyone interested in participating in the walk can sign up on the event’s website. Registration is $35 in advance and $40 on the day of the walk.

Officials said activities at the stadium on the day of the walk will include an inflatable exhibit that shows what happens when a person has cancer, as well as food trucks, a petting zoo, face painting, children’s activities, a stuffed animal workshop and an exhibition softball game featuring former Atlanta Braves player Brian Jordan and several community leaders.

The stadium is located at 2500 Buford Drive in Lawrenceville.

Another student wrote on social media that some rumors about the week’s events were not true, and the students should be united and represent the school, a message the student heard from Principal Ken Johnson.

“We seriously shouldn’t be giving our school a bad name because that’s not what Archer is about,” the student wrote. “He knows what happened is wrong

Gwinnett County Public Schools spokesman Bernard Watson said there weren’t any incidents at the school on Friday morning.

“I think today we got back to the business of learning,” Watson said.

“When the kids came in, everything went smoothly and went back to class. The principal’s spoken through his letter to the parents and the students. Clearly we’re all about learning and that’s what we’re trying to get the focus back on.”

Local students named National Merit semifinalists Good News from Schools

Gwinnett students were well-represented on the recent announcements of National Merit Scholarship Program semifinalists as more than five dozen are in the running for three types of scholarships to be awarded next spring.

The National Merit Scholarship Corporation has started its nationwide search for the students who will be named 2017 National Merit Scholars, winners of scholarships worth some $33 million.

The students from 12 Gwinnett public high schools, along with Greater Atlanta Christian, Providence Christian Academy and Wesleyan are part of about 16,000 top students from across the nation who will now compete for the official National Merit Scholar title and thousands of dollars in scholarships that are awarded annually to

Another year of the Gwinnett County Fair is nearly in the books, and all indications are it proved to be a success, the long-time fair manager said.

The fair closes today with hours from 1 to 10 p.m. Though he didn’t have ballpark numbers on attendance, Dale Thurman, who’s in his 21st year running the fair, said weather, except for a rainy first Sunday, was pleasant.

“Certain people always come to see the livestock, other people come to eat,” Thurman said.

“She actually beat the girl who won the deadlift last

year at worlds — by like 30 pounds,” Lydia said. “She won the meet on her second lift.

“It’s kind of surreal when you’re there. When she’s up there with the American flag and the national anthem is playing, that is the most amazing moment. She’s the first one (of us) to get the world championship. So that’s exciting. Now she’s the one to beat.”

Cathy, who won the 50-59 women’s age bracket at 138 pounds, began lifting in 2013 after getting back into working

out through crossfit in January 2012.

“I went 16 years without doing really anything,” the mother of three said.

Lydia was spotted by twotime national champion and trainer Jeff Robison at a charity crossfit event and asked if she would like to try powerlifting.

“I had been bringing her and just watching,” Cathy said. “Then Jeff said, ‘Why don’t you do a meet?’

Draft about depth for the Swarm

By Paul Thomas

paul.thomas@ gwinnettdailypost.com

Monday’s National Lacrosse League draft will be a bit different for the Georgia Swarm than last year’s.

In the 2015 draft, the Swarm had four of the first six overall picks and acquired four players who played huge roles for the team in its first season in Georgia.

They took Lyle John ThompArlotta son No. 1 overall, Jesse King at No. 2, Chad Tutton at No. 5 and likely rookie of the year Chad Tutton at No. 6.

After sending the No. 8, 14 and 24 overall picks to the New England Black Wolves in a trade for veteran forward Jordan Hall last week, the Swarm have just four top 20 picks Monday.

The Swarm will select at No. 4, 10, 17 and 20. They also have picks No. 22, 28, 35 and 44. With the core of its roster set, especially offensively, Georgia will use the picks either in a trade or to get a few more defensive players.

“This year it would be more depth,” Georgia owner and general manager John Arlotta said. “A few really, really good players at the top of the draft that likely will come in and be star players and then the rest of the draft is more a depth kind of draft. Very defensive orientated. A lot of very interesting defensive players that can be good players in the league, but more depth players that will probably take a little bit of time for them to work their way onto a lot of playing time on rosters.

Whereas last year you knew 1-7, and maybe even 1-9, you knew you were going to get a guy who you knew could play for you immediately and be a really, really good player.”

Georgia was 8-10 last year, reaching the playoffs.

The Swarm scored the second most goals in the league at 238, but allowed the second most with 240.

After the season, Arlotta and head coach Ed Comeau set out to upgrade the roster both at goal keeper and on defense.

Saints hoping for more Superdome mojo vs. Falcons The Sports Xchange Ten years ago — on Sept. 25, 2006 — the Louisiana Superdome was the scene of an iconic moment in NFL history.

A year earlier, Hurricane Katrina unleashed its fury on one of America’s great cities, peeling back the roof of the Superdome, which transformed a shelter of last resort into a palAtlanta quarterback Matt Ryan (2) throws a pass against ace of pain for thousands the Oakland last Sunday in Oakland, Calif.

the storm overpowered poorly designed levees and inundated 200,000 homes.

When the New Orleans Saints returned to the

refurbished Superdome for Week 3 of the 2006 season, the stadium’s dazzling rebirth and the Saints’ 23-3 destruction of the Atlanta Falcons — fueled by New Orleans’ special teamer Steve Gleason’s blocked punt for a touchdown in the opening minutes — became a metaphor for the city’s revival.

The stakes are not nearly as high for the Saints this time, but at 0-2, with losses to the Oakland Raiders and New York Giants com-

ing by a combined total of four points, they could use some serious Superdome mojo against the 1-1 Falcons.

Saints coach Sean Payton, who was on the sidelines for Gleason’s blocked point, which nearly blew the roof off the Superdome again, is trying to direct his thoughts to a team desperately in need of a win.

ATLANTA — What looked like a one-man race at the Tour Championship has turned into a horse race.

Dustin Johnson, who had a four-shot lead at one point on Saturday, came back to the field and will start the final round tied with Kevin Chappell in the final event of the FedEx Cup playoffs at the East Lake Golf Course.

If Johnson is victorious, he will also claim the $10 million bonus for winning the FedEx Cup. Chappell has almost no mathematical chance to earn the FedEx Cup, but the $1.53 million that goes to the winner would be the biggest payday of his career.

Tied for third at 6-underpar 204 are Rory McIlroy and Ryan Moore, who each shot 66. Hideki Matsuyama is alone at 5-under after shooting 68, followed

by Jason Dufner at 4-under after a 66.

Charl Schwartzel, who made back-to-back eagles to shoot 66, and Paul Casey, who posted a 69, are tied for seventh at 3-under.

Johnson was 10-under after a birdie at the 12th hole and seemed ready to run away from the field.

But he made back-to-back bogeys at Nos. 13 and 14 and double-bogeyed the 17th hole after failing to find the fairway on each. He recovered to birdie the 18th and regain part of the lead.

“I thought I played pretty well, just a couple of loose drives on the back side,” Johnson said. “Other than that, I thought the round was pretty solid. I missed a few good opportunities for birdie on 8, 9 and 2, but otherwise, I felt like I hit good putts. They just didn’t go in.”

Chappell’s patient approach paid off Saturday.

He made 16 pars and two birdies, the first a dramatic chip from the thick greenside rough at the 12th hole that was his first birdie on the back nine all week.

“Probably the most difficult round I played this week in terms of ball control and positions that I was in,” Chappell said.

“But I fought real hard and the chip-in at 12 kind of got me fired up a little bit.

I think that was the glue that kind of kept the round together.”

It was the fifth time Johnson and Chappell had been paired together and the first time Chappell had posted a lower score. Johnson has won three times this season, including the U.S. Open, while Chappell is still trying to win for the first time.

“Kevin’s a buddy of mine. We played a lot of college golf together,” Johnson said. “I enjoy

playing with Kevin. It’s going to be a fun day.

Hopefully I can go out and play some really good golf again.”

McIlroy, a four-time major champion, and Moore, a five-winner on the PGA Tour, are both eager to see if they can close the gap.

McIlroy tied for second at the 2014 Tour Championship and Moore tied for third in 2012 “Of all the days to just kind of focus and take it one shot at a time and play a round of golf, tomorrow’s the day,” Moore said.

“It’s going to be hard to do with everything that’s on the line right now, but I like where my game’s at.

I like the way I’ve been turning the right direction this week.”

McIlroy said, “I feel like I’m getting more and more comfortable with my putting each day. I feel like I can go out there tomorrow and shoot something lower than I have today and hopefully that will give me a chance.”

The third round was played with temperatures in the low 90s and was ideal for low scores. Nine-

teen players in the 29-man field shot par or better.

There were seven players who shot 66, including Emiliano Grillo, William McGirt and Bubba Watson.

In addition to the FedEx Cup, several players are trying to make their case to be the final man who will be selected to compete in next week’s Ryder Cup. The main contenders are thought to be Watson and Justin Thomas, who is in ninth place. But a victory by either Chappell or Moore could make the decision more difficult for U.S. captain Davis Love III. “I came here this week to win a golf tournament and I’m 100 percent focused on that,” Moore said.

“That’s honestly completely out of my control.

I’ve kind of just let it go and I’m not even thinking about it.”

Watson said, “I’m so far back (14th place) — captain said he was picking based on who’s going to fit the team, who’s going to fit players, who’s going to complement other players.

Hopefully, at the end of the day, it’s me, but you never know.”

FRIDAY’S HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL ROUNDUP For the full stories from each of these games, go to www.gwinnettprepsports.com

North makes statement in win From staff reports SUWANEE — Mountain View hoped Friday night’s Region 6-AAAAAAA opener at North Gwinnett would be its coming-out party.

Instead it was the Bulldogs who announced their return to prominence with a 38-14 win over the previously unbeaten Bears. Last year, North was 5-5 and missed the postseason for the first time since 2003 and the first time in head coach Bob Sphire’s tenure.

After up-and-down performances in non-region play, the Bulldogs (3-2, 1-0 region) showed on Friday night that they will indeed be a factor in the region playoff race in their homecoming win.

North scored on its first four possessions of the game and never looked back.

The Bulldogs took a 24-0 lead in the first half led by a pair of 1-yard touchdown runs from Brian Eberhardt and Ryan Lovelace. Cade Fortin completed a 13-yard touchdown pass to Tyler Goodson and Zaniel Phillips made a 35-yard field goal after a D.J. Turner fumble recovery.

North’s offense was led

by Fortin, who was 15 of 22 for 153 yards passing with two touchdowns. He also ran for 44 yards on four carries.

Lovelace finished the game with 44 yards rushing on 13 carries, while Cameron Butler also had 44 yards but on just seven touches.

Goodson chipped in 37 yards rushing and 24 yards and a touchdown receiving.

Reed finished the game with six catches for 72 yards and a TD. Mountain View (4-1, 0-1) was able to get in the end zone as Matthew Edwards found Dhante Hill for a pair of touchdowns, one in the second quarter and another in the fourth.

Edwards finished the game 16 of 36 for 209 yards with two touchdowns and a pick. Hill had eight receptions for 102 yards and Malachi Carter had seven for 93 yards.

Jasen Johnson found some running room late in the game but finished with just 77 yards on 14 carries.

Mill Creek 43, Collins Hill 7 SUWANEE — Edmond Graham gains most of his yards at Mill Creek’s home stadium, but Collins Hill is a close second.

The speedster buried Collins Hill early for the second straight season Friday night, sparking Mill Creek to a 43-7 victory in the teams’ Region 6-AAAAAAA opener.

Graham caught a 70-yard touchdown pass from Cameron Turley on the game’s second play and returned a kickoff 84 yards for a score barely four minutes later, immediately after Victor Heyward’s sack gave the topranked Hawks (5-0, 1-0) a safety.

On the same field last year, Graham caught a school-record 87-yard TD and scored on another 67-yarder, setting a school mark with 162 total receiving yards.

Graham’s play was a big reason Mill Creek (5-0) led 23-0 at halftime, but special teams play and defense truly set the tone in the Hawks’ 20th straight regularseason win.

Collins Hill, which fell to 0-5 for the first time since 2007, managed just 131 yards for the game.

Jon-Michael Findlay hit Marc Riley for a 5-yard TD pass in the waning seconds to help the Eagles prevent the shutout.

Grayson 38, Ramsay (Ala.) 6 LOGANVILLE — After pummeling Deerfield Beach (Fla.) last week, the Grayson Rams had another tough out-of-state opponent coming into town, the Ramsay (Ala.) Rams.

Ramsay came in with an undefeated record, but left with a disappointing 38-6 loss at the hands of the third-ranked Rams (3-1).

Grayson’s offense combined for 377 yards of total offense and held Ramsay (5-1) to 261 yards. Jamyest Williams led the way for Grayson with 146 yards of offense including a 52-yard touchdown reception.

Breon Dixon had a monster game on defense. He accounted for two sacks and four separate tackles for a loss.

Norcross 37, Central Gwinnett 8 NORCROSS — Most of the major statistical categories in Friday night’s Region 7-AAAAAA opener between Norcross and Central Gwinnett suggested the visiting Black Knights should have been winning in a rout.

But with a few notable exceptions, the host Blue Devils did most of the little things right in what turned into a comfortable 37-8 win at Blue Devil Stadium.

Despite being outgained 450233 in total offense and committing 15 penalties for 127 yards, fourth-ranked Norcross (5-0, 1-0) won the game by dominating special teams and coming up with every key play when it needed to to over come a huge night from Central (1-4, 0-1) quarterback Jarren Williams, who finished the night 29 of 46 for 347 yards and a TD. Jake Camarda and Jacobe Burrell were difference makers for Norcross on Friday, with the former booting a 48-yard field goal, kicking four of six kickoffs into the end zones for touchbacks and averaging 45.6 yards on five punts, including four inside the 20-yard line.

But it was Burrell who was even more important, returning three punts for 70 yards and a kickoff for 25 more yards, each of which set the Blue Devils in prime field position.

Necholas Sermons ran for two touchdowns, while Baron Radcliff added a TD pass to Tamir Jones and Jalen Peddrew punctuated the night with a 97yard fumble recovery return for a score.

Buford 48, International School of Broward (Fla.) 8 BUFORD — In its third game in four weeks against out-ofstate teams, Buford showed its dominance once again against International School of Florida from Broward County on homecoming night at Tom Riden Stadium. The Wolves jumped on the Fighting Pumas early and often and cruised to a 48-8 victory Friday.

Anthony Grant finished with 100 yards on 10 carries and two touchdowns as the Wolves built a 42-0 halftime lead.

Mic Roof finished 5 of 7 for 110 yards and one touchdown, with one interception. Derrian Brown, Bryson Richardson, T.D. Roof and Davin Bryant also found the end zone for the No. 2 (Class AAAAA) Wolves (3-1), while Jake Simpson and Jamaal Singleton added interceptions on defense.

GAC 35, Union Co. 12 NORCROSS — After asserting its dominance in Region 6-AA, Greater Atlanta Christian began a new era with its first Region 7-AAA game Friday night at home against Union County.

The top-ranked Spartans looked every bit like a region heavyweight in their new home as they routed previously unbeaten Union County 35-12.

GAC (4-1, 1-0 region) looked sharp to start the game as running back Kyler McMichael slashed and gashed through the Union County defense, capping the five-play drive with a 1-yard touchdown run. The scoring drive followed an opening possession that saw the Spartans fail on a fourth-down attempt deep in Union territory.

Quarterback Davis Mills looked sharp in his third game back from a knee injury as he helped seize control of the game with three touchdown passes in the first half.

Mills connected with eight different receivers and he capped

his night completing 17 of 24 passes for 260 yards and four scores. Harrison Sloan led all receivers with five catches for 116 yards and three scores.

McMichael paced the rushing attack with 75 yards on 14 carries and GAC gained 394 yards of total offense while yielding 226 yards of offense to Union County.

Wesleyan 42, Holy Innocents’ 7 ATLANTA — Wesleyan’s football team continued its impressive play Friday night with a 42-7 road victory over Holy Innocents’.

Banks Ramsey completed 18 of 25 passes for 240 yards and three touchdowns to lead the Wolves (5-0). He also had six rushes for 61 yards and another score despite not playing at all in the second half.

Wesleyan led 35-0 after two quarters and played the second half with a running clock.

Harrison Cook led the Wolves’ receivers with five receptions for 80 yards and a TD, while Zach Peterson had five catches for 57 yards and a score and Grant Frerking had five catches for 63 yards and a TD. Corey Berry and George Bielan added a rushing TD each.

Jason McCleskey intercepted a pass and Billy Stepp and Stewart Stamper each recovered fumbles for a Wesleyan defense that held Holy Innocents’ to 87 rushing yards and 83 passing yards.

South Gwinnett 27, Hillgrove 13 SNELLVILLE — South Gwinnett scored two fourth-quarter touchdowns and its defense pitched a shutout in the second half to lead the Comets to a comeback 27-13 victory over Hillgrove Friday night at Richard Snell Community Stadium.

Trailing 13-12 early in the fourth quarter, the Comets (4-1) stopped Hillgrove on downs inside the South Gwinnett 20, then calmly put together two critical scoring drives. The first was a 77-yard drive that was kick started with a with a 37yard reception by senior wide receiver Antuane Dennard, who moments later caught a 27-yard TD pass for the go-ahead score.

After stopping Hillgrove again on downs after the Hawks had moved the ball to the South Gwinnett 13, the Comets scored again with just three minutes to play when quarterback Seth Johnston scampered for a 60yard TD to clinch the win.

Johnston finished as South’s leading rusher with 104 yards on seven carries and two TDs. He also completed 7 of 19 passes for 179 yards and one TD. Dennard led all receivers with 64 yards on two receptions and one TD. Lanier 26, St. Pius X 0 ATLANTA — The Lanier defense flexed its muscles Friday night, severely limiting St. Pius X on offense.

Running back Tywon Reaves was able to take advantage by scoring three touchdowns to lead the Longhorns to a 26-0 rout over the winless Golden Lions.

The Lanier defense stifled the Golden Lions’ (0-5) offense all night and caused havoc in the Golden Lions’ backfield, producing five sacks, plus interceptions

by Juwuan Jones and Clifton Bush.

Quarterback Noah Fritz also scored on a keeper and threw a touchdown pass to Joshua Stroud for the Longhorns (3-2).

Brookwood 42, Berkmar 0 LILBURN — All Brookwood wanted was an encouraging performance to get back on track after consecutive road losses this month.

The Broncos were on the road again Friday, but they got just the turnaround they needed, opening Region 7-AAAAAAA play with a decisive 42-0 triumph over Berkmar at Patriot Field.

Quarterback Angelo DiSpigna was 12 of 16 passing for 144

yards and two touchdowns and Deundre Head rushed for 67 yards and a score on 13 carries to help lead Brookwood to its first victory in September after frustrating road losses to South Gwinnett and Colquitt County.

Head, Charlie Walker and Guillermo Luna each provided rushing touchdowns and Nick Prince caught six passes for 75 yards for Brookwood (3-2, 1-0 Region 7-AAAAAAA), which churned out a balanced attack to the tune of 382 total yards.

On the other side of the ball, the Broncos’ defense didn’t offer many scoring opportunities for Berkmar (0-5, 0-1), which has lost 32 straight games since 2013 and hasn’t beaten the Broncos in 26 tries dating back to 1987.

Shifty Patriots quarterback Jeremiah Scott was held in check with just 18 yards on 22 carries and was stopped in the backfield eight times. He was relatively effective in the air, completing 13 of 24 passes for 117 yards, but was unable to throw a touchdown pass.

Berkmar finished the night with 180 total yards, just 63 coming on the ground.

Peachtree Ridge 31, Discovery 0 SUWANEE — Peachtree Ridge took care of business in a 31-0 homecoming victory over Discovery in the Region 6-AAAAAAA opener for both schools on Friday.

Connor Heyward scored twice on the ground for the Lions (2-3, 1-0), while Trent Brown also ran for a TD, and Josh Johnson contributed an interception return for a score on defense.

Discovery’s (1-4, 0-1) best chance to score came late in the third quarter. On fourth down, Heyward dropped back to punt but was forced to eat the ball when the rush did not allow him to get the kick off. The Titans started on the Lions 26 and moved inside the 10 before they fumbled and it was recovered by Choice Hale of the Lions.

Hebron Christian 31, Riverside Military 14 GAINESVILLE — Hebron Christian moved above .500 in Region 8-A with a 31-14 win at Riverside Military on Friday night.

The Lions improve to 3-1 overall and 2-1 in the region, while Riverside falls to 1-4 in both the region and overall.

Roswell 47, Archer 0 LAWRENCEVILLE — The grueling early season gauntlet continued Friday night for Archer with the Tigers hosting secondranked Roswell, and the visiting Hornets showed the crowd at Archer Community Stadium the ranking is well-deserved.

Roswell’s defense stoned the Archer attack and Malik Willis passed with two touchdowns and ran for two others to lead the Hornets to a 47-0 non-region win.

Archer’s Keegan Strickland found no running room against the stingy Roswell front as the Hornets held the Tigers to three first downs and minus-5 total yards in the first half. The Archer passing game also struggled against the Hornets with quarterback Dillon Waye completing only one pass in the half.

Walton 33, Dacula 0 MARIETTA — Walton enters the beginning of its Region 4-AAAAAAA schedule next week with some momentum after the Raiders defeated Dacula 33-0 in their final non-region game of the season at Raider Valley Friday.

It’s the third straight win for the Raiders (3-2), giving coach, and former North Gwinnett assistant, Mo Dixon some encouragement heading into their region opener at Cherokee next Friday.

The Falcons continued its early-season slide to 1-4.

Lakeside-DeKalb 38, Meadowcreek 0 ATLANTA — A close game at halftime got away from Meadowcreek on Friday and the Mustangs lost 38-0 to host LakesideDeKalb at Adams Stadium.

Chauncey Williams topped the 100-yard rushing mark and Meadowcreek (0-5) trailed just 9-0 after two quarters. But Lakeside pulled away in the second half.

Lakeview Academy 31, Providence Christian 14 GAINESVILLE — Providence Christian dug itself an early hole that it could never climb out of, falling 31-14 at Lakeview Academy in a Region 8-A game Friday night.

The Storm (1-3, 0-3) trailed 21-0 at halftime and tried to battle back behind quarterback Mitchell Miller and running back Henry Kim. The latter broke off a 60-yard touchdown run on the opening drive after halftime to pull Providence to within 21-7.

After Lakeview (1-3, 1-2) answered with a score to push its lead to 28-7, the Storm pulled as close as 14 points once again.

They cashed in a fumble recovery on Miller’s 2-yard scoring run late in the third quarter to cut the deficit to 28-14, but could pull no closer, with Lakeview capping things on a fourth-quarter field goal.

•From Page 1B There was never any doubt of the outcome.

The Rebels (2-2, 1-1 SEC) piled up 510 yards of offense, most courtesy of quarterback Chad Kelly, who completed 18 of 24 passes for 282 yards and two touchdowns. The senior also rushed three times for 42 yards, 41 coming on a touchdown run in the third quarter.

“I knew I had to go out there and execute the game plan and just take care of the football,” Kelly said. “We wanted this one bad and it showed.”

All total, five different players scored for the Rebels, including tight end Evan Engram, who led all receivers with six catches for 95 yards and one score.

Georgia, meanwhile, struggled with everything it tried.

That included heralded freshman quarterback Jacob Eason, who completed just 16 of 36 passes for 137 yards against the Rebels, who posted their largest margin of victory in an SEC contest since a 41-3 win over Vanderbilt in 2014.

“I expected this team to compete, fight, play well.

You never believe you’re going to play like that. I think we didn’t respond real well when they had success,” Georgia head coach Kirby Smart said.

“But yet every other game so far we have responded.

“Beat by my mom,” Lydia said with a laugh.

“It’s definitely a legacy. I love the fact that she got it.

I look up to her in everything. This is just one more thing where I admire her.

“But we’re very competitive, so I’ve got to come back and get her. For sure.”

Cathy, also a certified crossfit and powerlifting coach at No Excuses in Suwanee, intends to keep competing as long as she can.

“I was with the 50-, 60- and 70-year-olds — impressive women,” she said. “You’re watching people who are 60, 70 out there lifting weight. Working hard, training, same as everybody else. With more aches and pains. That keeps me going. I want to do that. I want to be like them.

“So many women have a weight(-loss) goal. Then they go on these diets. If you go to the gym and say, I want to make a rope climb or I want to get one pullup, that makes you come back and your body changes.

“I want to be encouraging to other people who might think they’re too old to do anything. This is a great sport. Even if you just want to try it. It feels good. It’s progressive. The improvement is really easy to see and it really drives you to want to come back and do more.”

that we got away with in the past and they made the plays down the field when they had to.”

This one was over quickly.

After stopping Georgia (3-1, 1-1) on the Bulldogs’ opening drive, the Rebels quickly got on the board with a 24-yard field goal

by Gary Wunderlich.

That was just the beginning.

On the Bulldogs’ ensuing possession, a 52-yard picksix by cornerback Derrick Jones gave Ole Miss even more momentum.

The Rebels’ offense took it from there, scoring first on a 1-yard run

by D’Vaughn Pennamon to push the lead to 17-0 before passes of 55 and 19 yards to DaMarkus Lodge and Evan Engram,

respectively, extended the halftime lead to 31-0.

“I though the kids competed but once we got behind we didn’t do a good job trying to get back in it and that’s the most important thing,” Smart said. “We didn’t respond the right way, but we will move forward, this team will come back and fight and I promise you they’ll grow up and give an A-effort this week.

“It was frustrating. This was the opportunity we were looking for. This is obviously the best team we’ve played. We didn’t perform really well.”

The Rebels tacked on two more touchdowns in the third, one on a 5-yard pass from Jason Pellerian to Eugene Brazley that was followed by Kelly’s

41-yard run.

Georgia finally got on the board with five minutes left in the third quarter on a 10-yard run by freshman Brian Herrien, who also scored the Bulldogs’ second and final touchdown on a 1-yard run with 7:38 to go in the game.

“You need to learn to let things go,” Bulldog running back Sony Michel said. “Win or lose, you have to move on like this game never happened.”

Notes: Georgia’s 31-0 halftime deficit was the largest for Bulldogs since trailing Alabama 31-0 in 2008. ... With 323 total yards, Kelly became Ole Miss’ all-time leader in career offensive yardage, breaking the record of 5,621 held by Archie Manning.

the overall series 48-45, Payton has owned Atlanta since taking over in 2006, winning 15 of 20.

The Saints struggled offensively last week in a 16-13 loss to the Giants.

Their defense forced three turnovers against New York, but the critical play of the game turned out to be a blocked field goal that the Giants turned into a touchdown for a 10-point turnaround.

Payton was disappointed in his offense’s lack of balance. Even though the game was close throughout, Brees threw 46 passes

while the Saints ran the ball just 13 times for 3.2 yards a carry.

“I feel like the offensive line has been doing a great job in the run game,” said running back Mark Ingram. “We just have to call them and execute them, give the coaches confidence where we can go out there and be effective in the run game.”

The Falcons are tied for 25th in run defense and have allowed their first two opponents to rush for 4.6 yards a carry.

While the Saints seek to get their running game

back on track, they realize Brees is their bread and butter.

“Obviously you want to get after it in the run game, but when you have a dynamic quarterback like Drew who can just pick people off, then you got to play to your strengths,” Evans said. “And he’s definitely a strength.”

The Falcons also have a high-octane offense.

Quarterback Matt Ryan has thrown for more than 300 yards in each of his first two games — a 31-24 Week 1 home loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers

and a 35-28 road victory against the Raiders. Ryan leads the NFL in yards per pass attempt (10.0) and passer rating (121.4). He has five touchdowns passes and just one interception.

The Saints will have the crowd buzzing. Gleason, who is battling ALS, will be on hand for the game to whip the Superdome crowd into a frenzy.

“It’s probably going to be their Super Bowl,” Atlanta safety Kemal Ishmael said. “I know it’s going to be something special for them, and they’re going to get after us.”

For the last two games — and in his preseason work — the Denver Broncos’ starting quarterback operated under benign conditions. Both of his regular-season games were at home, as were two of his three preseason games, and the road game at Chicago saw a tepid crowd in a stadium that appeared to be one-third empty.

He hasn’t operated in a cacophony of noise, at least not since he was at Northwestern.

That will change in Cincinnati’s “Jungle.”

is on the road,” Broncos head coach Gary Kubiak said.

Siemian has been given free rein to make pre-snap changes at the line of scrimmage, and Kubiak said he is “very impressed” with Siemian’s growth in that area.

However, he would like to see the second-year quarterback avoid the shaky choices that have led to Denver Broncos quarterback Trevor Siemian (13) calls three interceptions that out from the line of scrimmage in the second quarter marred his play in Weeks against the Indianapolis Colts at Sports Authority Field 1 and 2.

“He’s made some poor at Mile High.

You’re Broncos’ huddle, those far as what we do, how not in college anymore. tasks will grow more dif- much we do and how he You’re not going to throw

that ball through that guy.’

“I think some of the speed-of-the-game factors that he’s beginning to understand a little bit are going to make him better each week.”

One asset in his development has been center Matt Paradis, who played every snap last season and grew exponentially working with Peyton Manning and Brock Osweiler.

Although Paradis is in just his second season on a 53-man roster, his intelligence and ability to get a line set before a snap is that of a 10-year veteran, having been refined by his work with Manning last year.

“Matt has it all under control,” Kubiak said.

“He has the front going

on. We’re playing against a lot of defensive looks.

We’re playing against a lot of nickel and dime because of our four-wides and three-wides.

“Matt is able to get all that sorted out. He’s becoming a really good player for a young player.”

Added Siemian: “He’s super intelligent. He’s running the show up there for us and he’s an athletic guy, he’s strong, he can reach and he does a lot of things really well.”

On the road against the Bengals’ stout defensive line, Siemian will need all the help he can get from Paradis, the rest of the Broncos’ line and their receiving targets if they are to stay unbeaten.

Buford closes regular out season with wins LILBURN — Buford ended its regular season schedule by defeating East Coweta 1-0 and Northside of Columbus 10-0 on Saturday. The games were played at Parkview as part of the Rams Classic Tournament put on by Grayson.

In the win over East Coweta, the teams were scoreless until the top of the seventh.

Desperate Miami beat Braves 6-4

By Walter Villa The Sports Xchange

MIAMI — Dee Gordon had two hits, three steals and scored twice as the Miami Marlins, hanging on to their slim NL wildcard playoff chances, defeated the Atlanta Braves 6-4 on Saturday night at Marlins Park.

Miami (77-78) snapped the Braves’ seven-game winning streak, which was the longest run by Atlanta (63-92) since 2014.

Even so, the last-place Braves are 11-7 against the Marlins this year, with only today’s game left in the season series.

Worse yet for the Marlins, they started the day trailing the New York Mets by six games for the first NL wild-card berth and the San Francisco Giants by five games for the second and final spot.

They are also behind the St. Louis Cardinals and Pittsburgh Pirates and have only seven games left.

Gordon led the NL in batting average and steals last season, but he has been limited this season due to an 80-game PED suspension.

On Saturday, he singled and scored in the first and singled and scored again in the third, snapping a 2-2 tie. He also walked twice.

Reliever Brian Ellington (4-2) got the win and

A.J. Ramos notched his 39th save.

Atlanta first baseman Freddie Freeman had an RBI single and a solo home run. He has 32 homers this season, and he also extended his career-high hit streak to 28 games.

Freeman’s hit streak is the longest by a Braves player since Dan Uggla went on a 33-game run in 2011. And the much-improved Braves, who also got three hits from Ender Inciarte, are 19-13 since August 21.

Inciarte, Atlanta’s leadoff batter, helped the Braves score quickly.

He led off the game with a single, advanced to second on a groundout and scored on Freeman’s single.

Miami answered quickly, getting a two-run homer by Derek Dietrick in the bottom half. Gordon drew a leadoff walk and jogged home after Dietrich pulled a shot that was just inside the foul pole in right field.

Atlanta tied the score 2-2 in the second. Anthony Recker hit a leadoff double, moved to third on a fly out and scored on Gordon Beckham’s sacrifice fly.

Miami took a 3-2 lead in the third off Atlanta starter Aaron Blair (1-7) when Giancarlo Stanton’s swinging bunt groundout drove in Gordon.

Auburn prevails as clock runs out The Sports Xchange AUBURN, Ala. — For a moment, it appeared that No. 18 LSU had stunned Auburn on a touchdown pass as time expired.

But the score was nullified after the play was reviewed and it was determined the ball was not snapped before the time expired, giving Auburn a most improbable 18-13 victory Saturday night at Jordan-Hare Stadium.

On the previous play, LSU completed a pass for a first down at the Auburn 2-yard line. The first down would have stopped the clock with one second left until the down marker could be set. But LSU was called for an illegal shift, pushing the ball back to the 15-yard line.

Referee Hubert Owens announced that the clock would start on his motion. The ball was snapped and LSU quarterback Danny Etling scrambled right and bought enough time to find D.J. Clark open in the back of the end zone.

Clark caught the ball and LSU (22, 1-1 SEC) stormed off the sidelines thinking it had won the game. But replays clearly showed the ball was not snapped before the clock hit 0:00.

Then Auburn (2-2, 1-1) stormed off the field victoriously as the thunderous roar from the crowd drowned out Owens’ words that the play did not count.

Daniel Carlson kicked six field goals on six attempts to account for Auburn’s scoring.

No. 1 Alabama 48, Kent State 0 TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — Alabama pounded Kent State in its final tune-up before SEC play begins.

The top-ranked Crimson Tide moved to 4-0 while Kent State dropped to 1-3.

Alabama’s offense drove the ball down field with Jalen Hurts back in at quarterback to open the second half. Hurts capped the drive with a 1-yard touchdown pass to linebacker Lyndell “Mack” Wilson.

No. 4 Michigan 49, Penn State 10 ANN ARBOR, Mich. — De’Veon Smith ran for 112 yards and a touchdown on just 12 carries to lead No. 4 Michigan to its fourth consecutive lopsided home win to start the season in the Big Ten opener for both teams.

Smith wasn’t the only running back that stood out for the Wolverines, who rushed for a season-high 327 yards and saw five different running backs score touchdowns.

by tight end Ethan Wolf with 59 seconds remaining that drew the Vols within 21-17.

Dobbs then hit wide receiver Jauan Jennings for a juggling 67-yard score down the right sideline with 12:45 left in the game, giving Tennessee its first lead of the day.

The Gators (3-1, 1-1) didn’t manage a first down in the second half until an 86-yard touchdown march concluded with a 10-yard pass from Austin Appleby to Freddie Swain with 4:17 left.

LSU linebacker Arden Key (49) looks at the scoreboard as the last play of the game was being reviewed against Auburn on Saturday. (Photo: John Reed-USA Today Sports) Michigan quarterback Wilton Speight went 21-of-33 passing for 189 yards and one touchdown.

No. 11 Wisconsin 30, No. 8 Michigan 6 EAST LANSING, Mich. — Redshirt freshman Alex Hornibrook passed for 195 yards and a touchdown in his first start and safety Leo Musso scored on a 66-yard fumble return as No. 11 Wisconsin surprised No. 8 Michigan State 30-6 on Saturday.

Hornibrook, who led a fourth-quarter comeback against Georgia State in the Badgers’ last game, completed 16 of 26 passes.

Corey Clement, who missed the Georgia State game with an ankle injury, rushed for 54 yards on 23 carries and scored twice for Wisconsin (4-0, 1-0 Big Ten).

No. 13 Florida State 55, South Florida 35 TAMPA, Fla. — Dalvin Cook rushed for a career-high 267 yards and two touchdowns to lead No. 13 Florida State (3-1) over South Florida (3-1).

Cook, who had just 228 yards and two touchdowns through the first three games of the season, looked like the Heisman Trophy contender he was expected to be before the start of the season.

No. 14 Tennessee 38, No. 19 Florida 28 KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — Joshua Dobbs threw four second-half touchdown passes as No. 14 Tennessee ended its 11-year losing streak against 19th-ranked Florida in dramatic, emphatic fashion.

Dobbs helped the Volunteers (4-0, 1-0 SEC) erase a 21-0 first-half deficit. Booed off the field at halftime with the Gators leading 21-3, Tennessee flipped the script behind Dobbs, whose passing has come under criticism during his career.

Dobbs started the second-half rally with a 23-yard scoring strike to running back Jalen Hurd with 7:29 left in the third quarter, followed by a 20-yard touchdown reception

North Carolina 37, Pittsburgh 36 CHAPEL HILL, N.C. — Mitch Trubisky threw his fifth touchdown pass of the game for a 2-yard score to receiver Bug Howard with two seconds remaining and North Carolina defeated Pittsburgh 37-36 in the Atlantic Coast Conference opener for both teams Saturday at Kenan Stadium.

The third-down pass capped a 17-play, 63yard drive and gave the Tar Heels (3-1) the lead for the first time. They trailed by 13 with under six minutes to play.

North Carolina’s final possession including converting twice on fourth-and-6 and then on fourth-and-9 (after falling into a secondand-21 hole).

Duke 38, Notre Dame 35 SOUTH BEND, Ind. — Quarterback Daniel Jones passed for 290 yards and three touchdowns and kicker AJ Reed drilled a 19yard field goal with 1:24 remaining to lead Duke to a 38-35 upset win over Notre Dame on Saturday in South Bend, Ind. Wide receiver Anthony Nash hauled in two touchdown passes as the Blue Devils racked up 498 total yards. Duke (2-2), which entered the game as a heavy underdog, won for the first time in Notre Dame Stadium and beat the Fighting Irish for the first time since 1961.

Quarterback DeShone Kizer passed for 381 yards and two touchdowns and rushed for a touchdown in a losing effort. Notre Dame (1-3) matched its loss total from last season and dropped its second consecutive game at home.

Wake Forest 33, Indiana 28 BLOOMINGTON, Ind. — John Wolford rushed for two touchdowns and threw for one as Wake Forest defeated mistake-prone Indiana 33-28 on Saturday at Memorial Stadium in Bloomington, Ind. The Demon Deacons (4-0) intercepted Indiana quarterback Richard Lagow five times.

Lagow threw for 496 yards and three touchdowns, including a 49-yard scoring pass to receiver Donavan Hale with 11 seconds remaining.

West Virginia 35, BYU 32 LANDOVER, Md. — Skyler Howard threw for 332 yards, Rushel Shell ran for two scores and West Virginia finished nonconference play unbeaten by holding off Brigham Young 35-32 on Saturday.

The Mountaineers (3-0) assembled firsthalf touchdown drives of 86 and 88 yards, and Howard capped a 99-yarder with a short pass to Daikiel Shorts in the fourth quarter. That made it a 35-19 cushion before BYU (1-3) rallied with touchdowns by Jamaal Williams and Moroni Laulu-Pututau.

Celtic Thunder storms into Fox Theatre

BY JON GALLO

Staff Correspondent

Maybe it’s because Atlanta is very much a working-class city, or perhaps it’s because of the city’s eclectic music scene. Or possibly, it’s because Southerners tend to enjoy listening to songs about love, loss and happiness.

“I don’t know the exact reason why people in Atlanta identify with Celtic Thunder,” said Emmet Cahill, who’s in the vocal quintet from Ireland that’s been named Billboard’s top world album artist four times and ranked in the world album chart’s top 10 annually since 2008. “I’ve really thought about it and just don’t know. Atlanta doesn’t have the number of Irish as Boston or New York.

But every time we have a show here, the crowd has been great.”

He should know. Cahill, a tenor, spent three and a half years touring the globe and churning out three No. 1 albums on the world Billboard chart with Celtic Thunder before leaving the group to embark on a solo career in 2014. Now he’s back with the Celtic Thunder for a second stint after concluding his tour that included a performance at the Red Clay Music Foundry in Duluth last March.

“When I was with Celtic Thunder, I didn’t have to worry about anything — just pick up the microphone and sing,” he said during a phone interview earlier this month.

“But when I was touring alone, I was the show. I had to connect with audiSEPT 16.pdf ences andKIDSVILLE put myself out there. It was emotional for

That’s where he sang in front of 2,000 congregants every Sunday. He often performed with his father, Martin, who taught him the piano, younger brother, Aaron, a cellist, and older sister, Laura, who played the flute. Cahill, who learned to sing from his mother, Anne, also played the violin for a quartet that became known in the town of about 20,000 residents as “The von Trapps” in reference to the family in the film “The Sound of Music.”

At age 12, Cahill landed a very small role in “Les Misérables” in Ireland, which jumpstarted an award-winning career in which he was Celtic Thunder will play the Fox Theatre on Oct. 13 as part of its “Legacy” tour.

Walking with dinosaurs

Fernbank Museum brings Jurassic Park to Atlanta

BY JON GALLO

Staff Correspondent

442710-1

Jennifer Grant Warner has seen countless exhibits at the Fernbank Museum of Natural History, where she’s worked for the past 17 years. But she isn’t sure if she’s ever witnessed any with the magnitude of the current one, “The World’s Largest Dinosaurs.”

“I can’t say if it’s the biggest one we’ve ever had,” Fernbank’s executive vice president and chief programming officer said.

“It ranks pretty high near the top of the list.”

“The World’s Largest Dinosaurs,” which runs through Jan. 2, transforms Fernbank into Atlanta’s own Jurassic Park, as the exhibition focuses on sauropods — the four-legged behemoths known for their enormous necks and tails, smaller heads and plantbased diets that roamed the earth about 150 million years ago. While the Brontosaurus may be the most popular sauropod, there were plenty of other massive monsters that make today’s elephants look like poodles.

“We wanted to peel back the curtain so people can see and learn about other dinosaurs that they may not have known existed,” Grant Warner said.

“People are intrigued by

Above left, the exhibition includes an 11-foot-tall, 60-foot long female Mamenchisaurus, in which half of its body is covered with skin while the other half displays its internal organs and bone structure. Above right, the exhibit shows visitors how much food a sauropod consumes through a 5 1/2-foot cube filled with about 1,000 pounds of plants to represent how much these beasts ate in a single day. (Special Photos)

The movie isn’t included with a general admission Museum ticket.

dinosaurs because to think that they one day ruled the earth is mind-boggling.”

And while the featured dinosaurs such as the Mamenchisaurus, Supersaurus and Camarasaurus aren’t as popular today as the carnivorous Tyrannosaurus rexes, Triceratops and velociraptors that have been glamorized by Hol-

lywood on the big screen, it doesn’t mean they are any less impressive.

The exhibition includes an 11-foot-tall, 60-footlong female Mamenchisaurus, in which half of its body is covered with skin while the other half displays its internal organs and bone structure.

There’s also a 6-foot tall

femur of an adult Camarasaurus, which weighed about 22 tons, as well as a 15-foot replica of a hind leg of a Supersaurus, which grew to be about 110 feet long and weigh in excess of 35 tons.

And then there’s the Argentinosaurus, which is the largest dinosaur ever classified at more than 123-feet long and more than 100 tons. The herbivore, which was discovered in Argentina, welcomes visitors upon entering Fernbank.

“Dinosaurs captivate people’s imagination and they’ve always been a big part of Fernbank’s exhibits,” Grant Warner said. “I’m not sure a lot

of people know just how big these dinosaurs really are. People will get to see how they ate and how their muscles worked so they could move around.

People will be surprised when they learn how much these sauropods needed to eat every day.”

The exhibit doesn’t just tell visitors how much food a sauropod consumes — it shows them through a 5 1/2-foot cube filled with about 1,000 pounds of plants to represent how much these beasts ate in a single day.

However, “The World’s Largest Dinosaurs” is as much an educational tool as it is a visual spectacle.

Visitors will learn about

the sauropods’ relatively small brains, body structure, organs and respiratory systems. They’ll also get the chance to feed a sauropod through an interactive demonstration, in addition to seeing what happened to the food upon consumption. Visitors also can feel the force in which a sauropod’s heart beats.

“We made a conscious decision to have this exhibition during the school year because the exhibit is educational and we want students to take field trips,” Grant Warner said.

“Dinosaurs are perennial favorites with kids and they really inspire them and help them think about the world around them.”

Couple sees fairy tale ending with Disney on Ice ‘Follow Your Heart’ show coming to Philips Arena

BY JON GALLO

IF YOU GO

Staff Correspondent

Before becoming a Disney princess, marrying her prince and becoming professional ice skater, Jessica Hatfield’s fairy tale started at a place that will never be mistaken for the Magic Kingdom: the Psychiatric Intensive Care Unit of Saint Clare’s Hospital in New Jersey.

“Let’s just say I saw some things you don’t see every day,” she said when asked about her nursing days eight years ago. “There are things you see that you just don’t want to talk about.”

Hatfield, however, has plenty to say about her current job, one that couldn’t possibly be more different than working at a medical facility that treats adults who suffer from mental illness and exhibit a danger to themselves or others.

When her skates aren’t laced up, she’s Jessica, a 30-year-old from Morris Plains, N.J., and wife of Brendyn Hatfield, a 31-yearold from Renton, Wash. But when she hits the ice, she becomes Princess Jasmine and Brendyn transforms into, of course, Aladdin, as the couple skates together during “Disney on Ice: Follow Your Heart,” which has 10 shows at Philips Arena Oct. 5-9.

“It’s like being a kid again because you’re a prince and you’re with your princess,” Brendyn said. “Every day is like a being in a Disney movie.”

Jessica and Brendyn are among 60 characters in

“Follow Your Heart,” which brings Dory, Marlin and Hank — the stars of the hit movie “Finding Dory” — and the characters from the blockbuster “Inside Out” — Joy, Sadness, Anger, Fear and Disgust — to “Disney on Ice” for the first time.

The Emotions help a girl gain the confidence to win a hockey championship and grow up, but that’s just one story line. Spectators will take a trip to Arendelle and see Elsa, Ana, Kristoff and Olaf of “Frozen,” as well as “Toy Story” pals Buzz Lightyear and Woody. And no Disney show would be complete without princesses like Cinderella, Rapunzel and Snow White, not to mention Disney’s Fantastic Five — Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Pluto and Goofy.

Jessica and Brendyn, who have both been skating since they were kids, met when they each took a similar risk. Jessica was putting the nursing degree she earned at William Paterson University to good use at St. Clare’s, but her love of skating never

went away.

“In 2008, I sent out a bunch of audition tapes and I got a call to be in the cast of Holiday on Ice,” she said.

“They were based in Europe and I wanted to go out and see the world.”

The next year, she met Brendyn, who joined the cast after he decided to pursue a career using skates instead of the media management degree he earned from the University of Colorado.

“I just wasn’t ready to give up skating,” said Brendyn, who picked up the sport when he was 6.

Six years, a wedding and performing so many times in so many cities they’d lost count, Jessica and Brendyn reached a crossroads. They were nearing their 30s, living out of a suitcase and their bodies were feeling the grind that came from years of performing numerous shows daily.

“We were close to retiring from skating,” Brendyn said.

But last year, Disney made them an offer they couldn’t refuse — jobs as Jasmine and Aladdin in “Let’s Celebrate.”

sparked the love we have for skating and how rewarding it is to perform,” Brendyn said.

Jessica added: “Being a part of Disney inspires me to go out there and give the audience everything I have because some of the kids in the crowd are seeing Disney characters in front of them for the first time. When you skate out onto the ice, you see all these kids smiling, and there’s nothing more rewarding to me.”

Jessica and Brendyn are a perfect fit together on the ice, especially when they

skate together during “A Whole New World,” the hit song from “Aladdin.”

“The skate we have together has a lot of acrobatics and twists and you have to trust your partner,” said Jessica, who has been skating since she was 5. “And my husband is my partner.”

The Hatfields aren’t exactly sure how long they want to keep making a living portraying a cartoon couple.

“I remember watching Jasmine in the movie “Aladdin” when I was younger,” Jessica said. “Now, I get to be her. It’s crazy, isn’t it?”

Nights of wonder

‘The Illusionists — Live From Broadway’ to play the Fox

By Jon Gallo

Staff Correspondent

Jeff Hobson at least wanted to be polite when he took a call from Simon Painter, a well-known producer with a plan.

“He told me that he wanted to put on a magic show,” said Hobson, who has been performing in Las Vegas, on tours and on television for decades. “I asked him to tell me about it while the other half of my face is yawning. He said he wanted to bring together the best magicians in the country and have the best magic show in history. The next thing I know, we’re at the Sydney Opera House.”

Nearly five years later, “The Illusionists — Live From Broadway” has played in more than 50 cities in 15 countries, with the tour scheduled for eight shows at the Fox Theatre from Sept. 27 to Oct. 2. The show’s seven performers have left capacity crowds in amazement since they joined forces to form what’s essentially the magic and illusion industry’s equivalent of the NBA’s Dream Team.

“Everyone in this group knows how to do a show,” said Hobson, 54. “But when we all come together you can see all sides of magic, whether it’s the funny side, the darker side or the suspenseful side. It’s not a kid’s show, but it’s appropriate for kids. Everyone from ages 5 to 105, but if you’re 106, I think you

might be out of luck.”

Hobson, an accomplished magician and comedian who’s nicknamed “The Trickster,” gets the most stage time during the two-act spectacle in which he serves as emcee and performer during a show that features one big-name magician after another.

Yu “The Manipulator” Ho-Jin was named the “Magician of the Year” by the Academy of Magical Arts in 2014 and was the first Asian to win the Grand Prix at the Fédération Internationale des Sociétés Magiques, also known as the “Olympics of Magic.”

Dan “The Anti-Conjuror” Sperry, who is a cross between Marilyn Manson and David Copperfield, combines his magic and macabre. His rise to stardom began in 2010, when he reached the semifinals of “America’s Got Talent.” He’s parlayed that success to become one of the world’s most Googled

people.

Ben “The Weapons Master” Blaque also used “America’s Got Talent” to show how amazing he is using a crossbow to shoot targets held by his assistant just inches from her vital organs. He reached the quarterfinals in 2012.

“I try not to look at his act because when he’s out there, it’s just so suspenseful,” Hobson said. “He’s blindfolded and shooting sharp objects at a person.”

Kevin “The Inventor” James is known for his mix of humor and innovative il-

lusions, including the iconic “Floating Rose,” which has been replicated by Copperfield, Doug Henning and Penn & Teller. James, who’s a relative of P.T. Barnum, one of the most well-known magicians in the world, as his performances have been televised in 89 countries. He’s best known for “The Operation,” in which he mysteriously severs his patient’s body part, a trick so impressive President Obama had him perform it at the White House during a Halloween party at the White House in

Colin “The Deductionist” Cloud knows things he shouldn’t possibly know — like a stranger’s phone number and what he or she had for lunch.

He’s so good that two of magic’s biggest names — Penn & Teller — are convinced no one is better at reading minds than Cloud.

And then there’s Andrew “The Escapologist”

Basso, who’s known as the modern day Harry Houdini considering he’s the only one performing Houdini’s “Water Torture Cell” with no covers. He hangs head first in a glass-walled fish tank filled overflowing with water while his feet are locked in stocks. The top is then shut, yet somehow he escapes, often within seconds of his final breath.

“A few times we’ve had to rescue him and pull him out of the chamber,” Hobson said. “It’s an act that has everybody really sitting at the edge of their seat.”

Andrea Bocelli to bring love songs to Gwinnett

BY JON GALLO

Staff Correspondent

The list of those who have seen tenor Andrea Bocelli perform is impressive: four U.S. presidents, three popes, the British royal family and several prime ministers.

Now, locals have the chance to see the world’s most famous opera singer when he comes to the Infinite Energy Arena in Duluth on Valentine’s Day, Feb. 14, at 8 p.m.

Bocelli, a 58-year-old native of Lajatico, Italy, who has sold more than 80 million albums, will perform his most iconic arias, crossover hits, love songs and music from his latest album, “Cinema,” which features songs from famous movies of the 20th century.

Songs from the album include “La Chanson de Lara” (“Lara’s Theme” from “Dr. Zhivago”), “Maria” (from “West Side Story”), “Moon River” (from “Breakfast at Tiffany’s”) “No Llores Por Mi Argentina” (“Don’t Cry

later — the plot of the movie.

It is one more proof of the fact that when film music is top quality, it can fly high and shine on its own.”

Tickets, which range from $79 to $369, will go on sale on Sept. 26 and will be available through the Infinite Energy Arena’s website (infiniteenergycenter.com) or by calling (770) 626-2464.

There is a pre-sale for Citi card members that runs through Sept. 25. For more info on that, go to citiprivatepass.com.

has remained a fixture on the Billboard 200, while a record-setting seven of his albums have topped the U.S. Classical chart. His latest album, however, allowed him to combine his two passions: music and movies.

“With “Cinema” I have accomplished a desire that I have had for decades: To create an album dedicated to film music, because I think this is a privileged breeding ground,” he told the Chicago Sun-Times. “The scores conceived for films, in many cases, are a step ahead, they are potentially freer, more creative — being not necessarily subject to the schemes neither of classic songs nor to a topic necessarily referring to love. It is ‘utility music”’ because it gives a sound to images, but it can also represent an exciting challenge for composers, and turn, sometimes into masterpieces, into songs that live independently and … go beyond all generational barriers, becoming real immortal classics.”

Florida Georgia Line cruises into Aaron’s Amphitheatre

BY JON GALLO

IF YOU GO

Staff Correspondent

Florida Georgia Line has gone from cruising to digging.

The duo of Tyler Hubbard of Monroe, Ga., and Bryan Kelley of Ormond Beach, Fla., yet again masterfully fused country, rock, pop and hip-hop to produce their third album that reached the top spot on Billboard’s Country Albums chart.

But unlike its previous records, Florida Georgia Line’s latest release, “Dig Your Roots,” focuses more on family, religion and leaving a legacy — a much different approach than the band’s debut album four years ago, “Here’s to the Good Times” that emphasized a more carefree lifestyle as featured in the smash hit “Cruise.”

“With every record, we’ve tried to show where we’re at that year,” Hubbard told Entertainment Weekly. “Our lives have changed pretty drastically over the record cycles. (So) it’s fun to see the evolution, to go back to the old records and see the good times and then listen to the new record and see the place we’re at now — and to have the fans come along with us.”

And have they ever. “Dig Your Roots” sold 126,000 copies during its launch week in early September, according to Nielsen Music.

Though the album didn’t sell as many as Florida Georgia Line’s predecessor “Anything Goes,” which sold 197,000 to enter the top spot on the Billboard chart on Nov. 1, 2014, “Dig Your Roots’” sales in its first week

easily surpassed the 63,000 of the band’s 2012 debut album, “Here’s to the Good Times,” which ultimately spent 10 weeks atop the chart during the summer of 2013.

“It feels so amazing to have the No. 1 album,” Hubbard told Billboard. “We’ve poured our heart into this project and to see the fans react the way they have is unbelievable.”

Florida Georgia Line, which has sold more than 3.5 million albums worldwide, will give fans an up close and personal look at its music when the duo performs at Aaron’s Amphitheatre at Lakewood in Atlanta on Oct. 22 as part of their nationwide tour to promote one of the country’s hottest albums.

“We could not be more proud and excited about this fantastic musical body of work,” Big Machine Label Group EVP/Republic Nashville President Jimmy Harnen told Billbaord.

“From the first time we sat down to listen to the music back in December, we all knew what a great journey we were about to partake in.

The No. 1 album is simply the beginning.”

The band, which sold more than 1.5 million con-

cert tickets in 2015 alone, burst onto the scene with “Cruise,” which spent 24 weeks atop Billboard’s Hot Country Songs chart spanning from 2012-2013, breaking the record set by Lee Roy Van Dyke’s “Walk on By,” which held the top spot for 19 weeks from 1961-62.

“Cruise,” however, evolved into more than a song for country music fans, as a remix of the song that included the rapper Nelly elevated it to No. 4 on Billboard’s Hot 100. Cruise is the first single in country music history to sell more than 10 million copies.

The first single from the new release, “H.O.L.Y.,” ruled the Hot Country Songs chart for 18 weeks — the third-longest reign in the survey’s 58-year history — before being pumped to second behind Kelsea Ballerini’s “Peter Pan.” “Our fans continue to keep blowing our minds. It’s absolutely crazy,” Kelley told Entertainment Focus.

“Just when we think things can’t get any better, we release a song like H.O.L.Y. and it connects us to our fans on a very, very special level. It’s a really cool moment in our set when we’re all connected on the same frequency. You look out and

you see people with their hands raised, you see people kissing, you see people crying, people connecting in their element and doing their thing in the present moment.

That’s a very powerful thing

for us. They’re screaming the words back to us and it’s a good feeling.”

When Florida Georgia Line performs at Aaron’s Amphitheatre at Lakewood for the fifth time since May 2014, the band’s recent history indicates it will stick closely to the same set list it has been using throughout its tour through the U.S. and Canada that began in May. Florida Georgia Line usually opens with “This is How We Roll,” “It’z Just What We Do,” “Round Here,” “Anything Goes,” and “Dig Your Roots.” The band then mixes in “H.O.L.Y.” followed by a cover of the Bob Marley classic “Don’t Worry

About a Thing” before cranking out a few hits like “Sun Daze” and “Get Your Shine On” and ultimately closing with “Cruise.”

Fans should also expect to hear “May We All,” a song on “Dig Your Roots” that features three-time Grammy winner Tim McGraw.

“Tim’s a legend,” Kelley told Entertainment Weekly.

“He’s been through a lot and continues to put out great music that’s fresh, he’s a great actor, and a great family man. The way he balances his life out and the way he treats people — he’s “humble and kind” — is something that we look up to him for.”

How to raise kids who aren’t afraid of a cartoon hawk: Part I It’s getting harder and harder to tell the difference between a legitimate news story and an “Onion” parody. Sadly, colleges and universities, once bastions of wisdom and empiricism, now lead the pack in the absurdity sweepstakes.

Perhaps the best illustration of this unfortunate reality came recently, when a professor at the University of Iowa objected to the school’s Herky the Hawk mascot because apparently it’s too scary for young students.

“I believe incoming students should be met with welcoming, nurturing, calm, accepting and happy messages,” the professor wrote in an email to the athletic department, adding that she found Herky’s “angry face” to be “incompatible” with those messages.

overindulging your children simply creates young adults who don’t know how to do without or take no for an answer.

NASCAR got uppity and chased away core fans We were cleaning up the dishes from Sunday dinner when Rodney called me into the living room where he was watching TV. “Look at this,” he pointed to the NASCAR race being broadcast live from Bristol, Tenn. My eyes widened. I shook my head.

“Rodney, that can’t be.

It just can’t.”

He nodded. “It is. It’s today and it’s the big race.” I demanded that he rewind the DVR and let me watch again. There in color was the truth: The stands had few people in them. Maybe they were 50 percent full, but honestly, it looked more like 25 percent. I’ve seen more people show up for a Saturday night dirt track race.

I knew this was coming.

I wasn’t sure I’d live to see

Ronda Rich it, but I knew that when the sport started chasing big city shine and shucking off its country moonshine that the heart of the fans — the country folks like me — would turn and head to the house. They’d hang up their Earnhardt, Gordon or Johnson hats and call it a day. I figured the rougher ones would cuss and carry on about how the sport that “we done gone and made what

it is” had become “what ain’t worth a plug nickel.”

About eight years ago, I requested media credentials for a Talladega race so I could write about a day at the track that I loved and had given me many memories when I was working in the sport as a publicist for corporate sponsors. The PR person in charge of credentials called.

“Send me some clips and I’ll decide if I’ll issue you a credential.” I almost choked. First on incredulity and second on anger.

“I’m syndicated. I don’t collect clips,” I responded, remembering the time when a Washington Post writer named Angus Philips showed up in Pocono to write a piece on Dale Earnhardt Sr., and we PR people fell over ourselves

to show him the meaning of Southern hospitality.

It was the first time a big paper had shown us any attention.

She snapped hatefully.

“Then you won’t get a credential.”

I called her boss, who, when he learned of her arrogance, responded, “I’m on my way to her office.

You’ll get both an apology and a credential.” I did.

But that kind of uppity treatment from people who rode on the coat tails and skirt tails of PR people like me was bound to sabotage them sooner or later.

Here are the other problems that someone needs to tell the folks in Daytona Beach since they don’t seem to remember their core fans: 1. You don’t ban the

name of Jesus. I listen to the prayers. They’re politically correct.

2. You don’t replace Tim McGraw singing the national anthem with Mariah Carey.

3. You don’t take races away from the sport’s heartland. Places like Atlanta, Rockingham, North Wilkesboro, Darlington, Nashville. I’m still mad about all of them, but Atlanta particularly infuriates me because it’s the Southeast’s biggest city, one of the oldest race tracks and because I believe that my friend and its president, Ed Clark, deserves better after the 35 years of sweat and love he has put into the sport.

4. You don’t take away the emotional connection that fans built with drivers like Darrell Waltrip, Bill

Elliott and Dale Jarrett.

Those guys worked hard for years before they won.

Now they just plunk an unknown teenager in a car with a huge sponsor and he wins. Big deal.

5. You don’t come out aggressively on a political issue of a flag, like it or not. You might offer an exchange, but ain’t nobody gonna tell a good ol’ boy from Alabama what to do when it breaches his First Amendment rights. Uh-uh.

I could go on, but it’s needless. The white flag has fallen on NASCAR’s greatest glory days, and the checkered flag is about to fly.

How often do you hit the wall?

It’s three o’clock (or 10 o’clock), you haven’t finished half of what you need to accomplish, but fatigue is hitting you like a ton of bricks.

For me, its feels like a wave of exhaustion washing over my entire body.

I notice it most when I transition from one thing to the next. I’ll be hyperfocused for hours, running on adrenaline, but when I stop, the wave hits. It’s not a soft, gentle, washing wave; for me it’s a big huge surfer wave body slamming into my entire body.

We all know the real answers: adequate sleep, good nutrition, regular exercise and no back-to-back 14-hour days. But for the ambitious among us, there are going to be times when your goals are bigger than your energy.

Until you achieve that Zen, no-stress life, here are three tips to help you avoid hitting the wall, or least deal with it when you do: 1. Take a dance break Disco fever might not seem like best solution to a business problem, but The Journal of Music Therapy says listening to your favorite music lowers your perception of tension. It doesn’t have to be soft jazz; if Led Zeppelin puts you in a good mood, use it.

According Peter Quily, an adult attention deficit disorder coach quoted in a recent CCN piece, “music can have positive physiological effects on patients who suffer from adult ADD. Specifically, listening to music can increase dopamine levels in your brain — which in turn can help you focus.”

Our client G Adventures equips its inside sales team with headphones that enable team members to start a silent dance party any time they want. When a rep needs an energy boost, he hits the button for his personal playlist and anyone not on the phone with a client joins in. It looks weird: a bunch of people in headphones silently rocking out in the middle of an office, but their customer and employee satisfaction scores demonstrate it works.

Our office’s energizing playlist includes Abba,

Forget Perfect

You should be dancing at work

Lisa McLeod

the Bee Gees and Michael Jackson. When the stress is high, channeling your inner (younger) Travolta clears your head and gets the oxygen and blood flowing to help you tackle the next thing.

2. Work in sprints Instead of slow and steady, you’ll maintain better energy working in 90-minute intense sprints. Nathan Kleitman, a groundbreaking sleep researcher, calls it the “basic rest-activity cycle.” Kleitman found the 90-minute cycles you progress through the five stages of sleep apply to our days as well. We’re most effective in a 90-minute pattern as we move from higher to lower alertness — the ultradian rhythm.

Pushing past 90 minutes without a break causes heavy fatigue that may be unrecoverable without a good night’s sleep. Taking a break every 90 minutes enables you to get more done.

3. Keep it beautiful If you’re tired, staring at a mess only makes you feel worse. Your physical surroundings affect your energy.

Do yourself a favor: create a beautiful, well-lit workspace on a good day to sustain you on the bad days.

For our team, that means no mess of black cords trailing over the desk, art on the walls (instead of a thumbtacked to-do list), and a clear desk with a light-colored monitor.

Work is hard, but it shouldn’t be soul-sucking awful. Make it beautiful, work in sprints, and remember when the going gets rough, maybe you should dance.

Bakery owners to appear on ‘Family Feud’

From Staff Reports

The Williams family of Snellville is used to working together at the Bill Rhodes Bakery, but recently they found out how well they could work under pressure — the pressure of television that is. Viewers can see how they fared when the family appears Tuesday on “Family Feud.”

The show will air at 7 p.m. on the CW network, and it will culminate a journey that took almost a year to complete. The family — which owns the bakery that features a sign that reads “A Family Tradition” — began trying to get on the show when Karen Williams

From there, the family — including Becky Evans, Karen and Tom Williams, Taylor Gagnon and John Evans — were invited to audition for the show at the Atlanta Civic Center.

“They just wanted to see how you interacted with each other and your enthusiasm,” Karen Williams said.

In addition to enthusiasm, the family had another ploy of bringing attention to the group.

John Evans created a Lego replica of the family on the set, complete with a miniature likeness of Steve Harvey, the host of the show. The family

thinks that might have helped get them noticed.

Months later, Williams received an email saying her family had been chosen. Williams picked April 20 as the family’s date for taping the show, and the group began planning its wardrobe and practicing with “Family Feud” nights that included playing the show’s board game. Two days before the show, the family did a dress rehearsal for the show as even more preparation.

When the time came to go to the Civic Center, the family was requested to be present at 8 a.m.

They took part in a few mock games on set but then had to wait to see

LAWRENCEVILLE City to celebrate Oktoberfest on Saturday Break out the stein glasses, bratwurst and lederhosen, because Lawrenceville is going all in to celebrate a traditional German celebration next weekend.

Viewers can find out how they did on Tuesday.

Show rules do not allow contestants to tell others how they fared.

“All I’ll say is it’s hard when you get up on stage,” Karen Williams said. “It’s not like sitting in your recliner at home.”

“It did bring our family together,” Becky Evans said. “We got together to practice twice a week, when we’d otherwise be busy.”
