MARTA board OKs contract with Gwinnett

BY CURT YEOMANS

curt.yeomans @gwinnettdailypost.com

On Thursday, the MARTA Board of Directors unanimously approved the regional transit agency’s proposed contract with

Gwinnett County to bring the county into its system.

The board had a month to review the contract, which county commissioners approved in early August, and decide whether they thought it was a good agreement for MARTA. The contract with

Gwinnett County is different from agreements MARTA has with other member counties in that it lets local officials have greater authority over how tax collections are spent.

Adding Gwinnett to MARTA would have region-

al implications because there would be one transit network stretching from Lake Lanier to Lovejoy, providing local and regional connections to residents.

“I will just say how excited I am at the opportunity to help transform the region,

the lives of the million-plus people who will live in Gwinnett county over the next several decades and the opportunity to work together to come one step closer to fulfilling the dream of a truly regional system,” MARTA board Chairman Robbie

Cliff Ramos’ name is emblazoned on the outside of the Collins Hill wrestling facility, but it’s what was built inside — represented as much by a wall full of state banners as the standing-room only crowd — that really shows what the longtime coach has meant to the high school.

Collins Hill officially dedicated the facility to Ramos, the man who started the program and led it to mountainous heights, on Wednesday.

Under his direction, the Eagles had a dual meet record of 626-80, won nine state team titles and had 34 individual state champions during his time at the school. In addition, his Collins Hill wrestling team was ranked in the top 25 nationally five times in a six-year span.

“He tried to bring out the best in every wrestler,” his longtime assistant Jim Tiller said. “There were many years we had state champion wrestlers whose toughest match was in the wrestle-offs here.

“When I came to Collins Hill in 1995, I knew we would have success winning, but I also wanted my own sons to wrestle for Cliff. It was a real challenge to start a new program, but Cliff had a

“We wanted to do this for Coach Ramos because he’s touched so many different lives in so many different ways,” athletic director Scarlett Straughan said.

“One of my favorite quotes by Teddy Roosevelt is, ‘No one cares how much you know until they know how much you care.’ I think that’s the epitome of Coach Ramos. Thank you for how much you’ve cared for our community.”

A who’s who of Gwinnett County wrestling filled the room as well as many of Ramos’ family and friends.

“Everyone who knows him knows he wouldn’t want his name on a building,” said Jim Gassman, who wrestled for Ramos at Collins Hill before coaching with him there and later at Mountain View.

This November, Georgians will elect a new governor.

The race between Secretary of State Brian Kemp, a Republican, and Stacey Abrams, a Democrat and former House minority leader, has already featured debate between them over the future of health care in the state.

Georgia Health News recently asked the candidates about their views on several major health care issues. Below are their full Stacey Abrams written responses: 1. Medicaid expansion has been discussed, but not adopted, in Georgia ever since the Affordable Care Act was passed.

What’s your position on Georgia expanding its Medicaid program?

ABRAMS: Expanding Brian Kemp Medicaid is one of my top priorities. Thirty-three states, led by governors across the political spectrum, have taken the only justifiable approach to health care and expanded Medicaid already. But not Georgia. Our Republican state leaders refuse to act, needlessly turning down federal dollars while Georgia sends money to Washington. Refusing to expand Medicaid is an irresponsible act that denies coverage for hundreds of thousands of vulnerable Georgians who need health coverage, damaging our health infrastructure and our rural health system to its core.

I led the fight to expand Medicaid in the Legislature and will make it my top focus as governor. Medicaid expansion will draw $3 billion annually ($8 million per day) into our state to pay for doctors, nurses, and hospitals. It will create 56,000 jobs — 60 percent of which will be outside of metro Atlanta. It will help local economies, reduce uncompensated care that drives up costs for all Georgians, benefit employers with healthier workers, and save rural hospitals from closure. And that only scratches the surface of the benefits of Medicaid expansion. We must act.

KEMP: Medicaid costs too much and fails to deliver for hardworking Georgians.

Taking money away from public safety and education to expand up a failed government program will only make things worse.

Stacey Abrams sees Medicaid expansion as a step towards a single-payer health care

gwinnettdailypost.com

Candidates more Georgians to obtain necessary health coverage.

Once we take that necessary step, I will explore more options to close the gap and achieve universal coverage in Georgia, including the creation of a Georgia Premium Stability Program to stop premium spikes for small businesses and individuals.

Do you support Georgia Attorney General Chris Carr joining 19 other states in seeking to declare the ACA, also known as Obamacare, unconstitutional?

ABRAMS: The ACA is absolutely constitutional, as affirmed many years ago by the Supreme Court of the United States. I firmly stand against any action seeking to declare the ACA unconstitutional.

KEMP: Obamacare is unconstitutional, but worse, it has been a complete failure. I fully support AG

Carr’s efforts and know that the real solutions to these pressing issues are found in our state capitals, not in Washington, D.C. 3. Rural health care has many challenges in Georgia, with hospitals closing and doctors hard to recruit. What would be your strategy to help support rural medical care in the state?

KEMP: I have a comprehensive plan to strengthen rural Georgia. It starts with expanding access to High Speed Internet to grow jobs, economic opportunity, and tele-medicine. By lifting the cap on Georgia’s Rural Hospital Tax Credit, we can empower communities — not government — to invest in local hospitals. Finally, we need to grow incentives for rural physicians (and) expand Graduate Medical Education slots to ensure that every county has access to a physician and support staff.

ABRAMS: We must better support our rural health system in Georgia. 68 percent of rural Georgians report that they struggle with the cost of health care, and six rural hospitals have closed since 2013, crippling local economies. I return to expanding Medicaid as the most helpful action we can take to support rural health care. Medicaid expansion would expand health care access for rural Georgians, keep vulnerable rural hospitals open, and create many high-paying jobs in rural regions of our state.

I will also leverage state and federal programs to incentivize more doctors and medical personnel to locate in underserved areas and provide critical services like maternal and mental health. Georgia has one of the highest maternal mortality rates in the nation, and half of our counties do not have an OB-GYN provider.

Our rural communities also need access to critical

ALL

mental health services. Too often, our state has funneled Georgians with mental health care needs into our criminal justice system, a practice that is harmful and counterproductive.

Expanding broadband Internet access in rural areas is also a health care priority, as it opens the door for telehealth services so rural Georgians can receive effective medical counsel remotely. Cost-effective, high-speed broadband in rural Georgia will help close the regional gap in health care coverage. And where telehealth cannot get the job done, we must enable access to transit or paratransit for Georgians who struggle to make appointments due to physical constraints.

As governor, I will leave no stone unturned to ensure that our rural health systems can thrive.

4. What tactics would you support to attract more physicians and other medical professionals to practice in the state?

ABRAMS: Wherever Georgia has a need for medical professionals, I will leverage my public experience as a legislator and my private experience in tax and health care finance to make sure that need is met. As governor, I will incentivize quality health care professionals to practice in rural communities via service cancellable loans. The $8 million dollars a day we would gain through expanding Medicaid will also help create high-paying jobs that attract physicians and other medical professionals.

As we tackle coverage gaps and work to expand access to health care for Georgians who need help, we will attract medical professionals who want the opportunity to do meaningful work in our state and ensure that those opportunities are funded.

KEMP: By expanding high speed internet and

bringing projects of regional significance to rural Georgia, we can revive communities and begin to create a tax base that supports local businesses, organizations, and schools. This alone will make underserved counties more attractive to young medical professionals. We must also expand incentives and loan forgiveness programs for rural physicians, including debt-free medical school.

5. Would you support the state starting a program to grow medical cannabis in Georgia for those people with medical conditions who qualify to possess it?

KEMP: I support the current medical cannabis program and research-based expansion.

ABRAMS: I support policies that encourage the in-state cultivation of medical cannabis for Georgians with qualifying medical conditions. Where Georgians have medical needs, I support those needs being met within the borders of our state.

6. Certificate of need is a controversial regulatory process governing hospitals and other medical facilities in Georgia. Is CON in need of reform?

ABRAMS: Given the structure of health care finance in Georgia, I support the existence of a certificate of need process. As with all regulatory structures, Georgia must continue to review and update CON standards to accommodate the changing dimensions of our medical population; however, I do not support the outright elimination of CON. KEMP: The House is reviewing CON laws in Georgia. I look forward to reading their recommendations.

Alcohol use not the most likely cause of cirrhosis DEAR DR. ROACH: I am a 78-year-old woman who was diagnosed just one year ago with primary biliary cirrhosis, which is an autoimmune liver disease. It was determined that it took me many years to get to this stage, but I had no symptoms other than high liver enzymes from time to time (but not always). I am currently monitored for progression and still have very few symptoms.

When I mention this disease, my friends look at me with jaws dropped open and say they never knew I was a heavy drinker. I have never been a drinker. Though this is not a rare disease, most people have never heard of it, and when they hear the word “cirrhosis,” it is automatically associated with alcoholism. Perhaps you might explain to your readers that not all people with liver cirrhosis are alcoholics.

— J.V.W. ANSWER: Cirrhosis of the liver is the end stage of many different illnesses, all of which cause progressive destruction of the liver cells and cause fibrosis — a thickening or scarring — of the liver.

Alcoholic liver disease is the single most common cause of cirrhosis referred for liver transplant, which may be why people tend to think of alcohol as the cause of all cirrhosis. The second leading cause is hepatitis C, a viral disease that is now curable. The third cause, as of this writing, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, is very likely to be the leading cause in the next few years, as the liver can be damaged from the metabolic changes that occur in obesity, especially in people who have abnormally high blood sugar, both prediabetes and diabetes. Less-common causes include autoimmune hepatitis, hemochromatosis, primary biliary cholangitis (formerly called “primary biliary cirrhosis,” which you have) and primary sclerosing cholangitis. Alcohol, in reality, accounts for a minority of people with cirrhosis. However, drinking alcohol should be avoided by people with any kind of chronic liver disease, especially cirrhosis, since it damages liver cells.

Primary biliary cholangitis is, as you said, an autoimmune disease of the bile ducts of the liver. Most people have no symptoms early on.

If people do have symptoms, they’re likely to be nonspecific symptoms like tiredness. Itching can be a clue to the involvement of the liver. Blood testing usually but not always shows elevations of common liver tests, especially the alkaline phosphatase.

A specific blood test, antimitochondrial antibodies, makes the diagnosis very likely, though a liver biopsy is sometimes done to be sure.

Making the diagnosis early is important, since treatment with ursodeoxycholic acid (Actigall) has been shown to reduce the likelihood of death or transplant in some, but not all, studies.

Dear Amy: I married my husband three years ago. We’re in our early 40s. His younger sister has two children, ages 8 and 2. The children were in a very bad situation, which ultimately led to them being sent to live with my in-laws two states away. The courts are involved and the children are in counseling.

My in-laws are well into their 60s. It’s clear to everyone that my sisterin-law likely won’t ever get the children back, and my in-laws are not in a position to raise kids for another 15 years.

My husband and I are child-free by choice and have, frankly, no desire to raise a family not our own.

This is causing anxiety and stress, but we are unified in the knowledge that we might need to step in when his parents can no longer handle things. His mom has shown some serious lapses in judgment during the time she’s had the kids.

I’m struggling to reconcile my selfish feelings of not wanting a family and taking on the family of someone who was irresponsible. Not to mention, the emotional trauma the children will continue to have. I’m so angry at my sister-in-law.

PAGE 5 A • FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 7, 2018

This week just confirms constitutional crisis we’re in WASHINGTON — Journalist Bob Woodward’s new book and an op-ed by an anonymous administration official portray President Trump as dangerously capricious and amoral, exhibiting textbook symptoms of narcissistic personality disorder and behaving in ways that suggest, to some, early signs of age-related dementia.

But you knew that.

We’ve all known about Trump from the beginning.

We’ve known that he was entirely unfit to hold any public office, much less wield the awesome powers of the presidency, regardless of what political views Eugene he might have. Trump Robinson demonstrates this fact literally every single day.

Wednesday afternoon, The New York Times published an extraordinary essay headlined, “I Am Part of the Resistance Inside the Trump Administration.” In it, an unnamed “senior official” claimed to be “working diligently from within,” in concert with “many” colleagues, “to frustrate parts of (Trump’s) agenda and his worst inclinations.”

The author went on to describe chaos, dysfunction and a president who changes his mind “from one minute to the next.”

Even more alarming, however, was the response from retiring Sen. Bob Corker of Tennessee, one of the few Republican officials who ever dare to criticize Trump, even mildly: “This is what all of us have understood to be the situation from Day 1.”

Trump’s enablers in Congress have all been lying to us. They pretend there is a normal president in the White House instead of, let’s be honest, a maniac. They know the risk the nation is running.

They have the power to alleviate that risk but they do nothing, instead counting on “mature adults” in the administration to keep Trump from plunging the nation off some cliff.

According to Woodward’s book “Fear,” Trump was going to pull the United States out of a trade agreement with South Korea, but former economic adviser Gary Cohn, who saw the move as unthinkable, simply swiped the order from Trump’s desk before he could sign it. At another point, the book reports, Trump phoned Defense Secretary Jim Mattis and commanded him to assassinate Syrian dictator Bashar Assad. According to Woodward, Mattis played along, hung up the phone, and told an aide, “We’re not going to do any of that.”

It feels as if we have entered a new phase of the Trump saga. As with all the prior phases, it’s impossible to predict with confidence what will happen. But the combination of the Woodward book and the insider’s op-ed feels like an inflection point.

We learned about the insanity inside the West Wing months ago from Michael Wolff’s “Fire and Fury,” but he got enough little things wrong to cast doubt on the big things he reported. We read it all again in Omarosa’s “Unhinged,” but she was a professional minor celebrity who’d had only glowing things to say about Trump until she got fired.

Woodward, to say the least, is different.

Beginning with Watergate and Deep Throat, Woodward has set the gold standard for Washington-based investigative reporting. He doesn’t just get the goods; he keeps meticulous records, including recordings of many of his interviews. You will note that the denials coming from the Trump administration are actually carefully worded nondenials that skirt, rather than confront, the specifics of what Woodward wrote.

His account supports what we’ve been told all along by award-winning White House correspondents from The Washington Post, the Times and other media organizations.

As for the anonymous “senior official” who penned the op-ed in the Times, I’m not inclined to join the chorus of commentators who say he or she is being cowardly and instead should have gone public, resigned in front of television cameras, marched up to Congress and demanded to testify and … and then what? Exactly what would such a performance achieve?

Does anyone believe the Republican leadership in the House and Senate would actually do anything? As Corker said, Trump’s unfitness has been obvious from the beginning. Republican officials have made the conscious decision to see, hear and speak no evil. We’re probably better off with the “senior official” still in place, saving us from Trump’s destructive whims.

The whistleblower wrote that “there were early whispers within the Cabinet of invoking the 25th Amendment” by which Trump could be removed, but “no one wanted to precipitate a constitutional crisis.”

After this week, however, it’s clear that we’re already in a constitutional crisis of frightening proportions. The Cabinet will not act. Congress, under GOP control, will not act. The internal “resistance” can only do so much.

Voters are the last line of defense. You must save the day.

More than ready for October to arrive There is nothing redeeming about September, and we’ve got three weeks to go. If you are into football as most of the world seems to be, then September may be a favorite month. While I like football very much, I’d like to shorten September to two weeks and make October a six-week month, provided that we could have six weeks of October weather.

In most years, you notice that there is a slight improvement of the weather after Labor Day, but not so much so last year and this year either, thus far. The beginning of this week I awakened early on Labor Day morning. It was very pleasant and comfortable. I even took a windbreaker to the office where it is cool before daybreak. Buildings get hot when people fill it up.

Much of Labor Day was spent in schizophrenia. My split personality was down when I thought about the dog days of summer hanging around. It was on a high when I thought about October’s balm. October is my favorite month of the year and I could pay exalted tribute to this classic spot on the calendar every day.

September is not so bad if

Loran Smith your team is winning. Then there is the Harvest Moon, which sometimes falls in September. This year it occurs Sept. 24, and I can’t wait to hear, “Harvest Moon, Way up in the Sky.” What a song.

Such romantic lyrics. But, I still want to get away from September with the greatest of alacrity. And, bring on October with the greatest of alacrity.

I want to give September the back of my hand, October a champagne toast. October warms the heart, speaks to the soul. I can’t wait for what October brings: • Fire in fireplaces with wood stacked neatly on a side porch.

• Harvest displays on porches and at store fronts all across the landscape — from Coolidge to Green Bay.

• Cookouts as dusk accentuates the calm that the end of the day brings to our neighborhoods.

• Hay bales in the fields, which make you think of peace on Earth and goodwill to men.

• The doe and her fawns that bed down in our liriope. I can remember when I believed that if I were ever to see a deer, I would have to journey to Lapland.

• The eight-point buck that casually walks across the street from the Fitzgerald’s as if he owns our neighborhood.

• The fox at the end of the street that runs pell mell from the Roberts across the street to the Nolands, which is worrisome. I don’t want a rabid varmint in my neighborhood.

Such things happen, you know.

• The return of the trout to the lively Chattahoochee at Helen, one of Georgia’s garden spots — not the tattoo parlors but the river. I can’t wait to return to the Nora Mills Dam where the browns and the rainbows are biting, the mallards are swimming and the Canada geese honking overhead.

• Friday night lights that are bearable. Teenagers playing a

game that enraptures an entire nation. Little kids playing their own games on an embankment, parents working the concession stands — but not all since a goodly number are out in the stands secondguessing the coaches and others hurling epithets at the officials. You have to accept that as part of Americana as much as the deer in the liriope and the trout fighting with you on the Chattahoochee.

• Apples in North Georgia — not what they once were, but thankfully still with us.

And also Apple-knocker, the bootleg liqueur which, managed right, is as good as a shot of Grand Marnier. Those who can make it, according to my mountain sources, are dying out and not likely to be replaced by the “next” generation.

• The turning of the autumn leaves, which still leaves one breathless. Mother Nature at her best leaves us thankful and awed.

September, you need to get with the program.

Trump policies don’t excuse his behavior WASHINGTON — Since the founding of our republic, there have been precisely 1,974 members of the United States Senate. John McCain is only the eighth senator who was not also president or vice president to lie in state in the rotunda of the Capitol — and only the 31st individual overall to be so honored in American history. Yet, for the first time in recent memory, a sitting president of the United States did not participate in the funeral or other ceremonies honoring that individual — because the president made himself unwelcome by his behavior.

As recently as Aug. 21, just days before McCain’s death, President Trump attacked him at a West Virginia campaign rally, declaring, “We had (Obamacare) beaten, but one man — I’m sure nobody knows who I’m talking about — voted no, shockingly.” He launched similar attacks at rallies this summer in Tennessee, Nevada, South Carolina, Minnesota and New York. At last month’s signing ceremony for the John S. McCain National Defense Authorization Act (the last bill passed by the McCain-led Senate Armed Services Committee) Trump declined to even utter McCain’s name, leaving it off the

oners of war — and it is little wonder the McCain family wanted the president nowhere near his flag-draped casket.

be riding high in the polls, winning over skeptics with economic successes. Instead, he is managing to raise both the gross domestic product and his own disapproval at the same time.

No doubt Democrats took advantage of McCain’s passing to cast Trump in a negative light. Their praise for McCain was, in many cases, opportunistic. When he was running for president in 2008, they attacked him brutally. But their hypocrisy does not justify Trump’s gracelessness.

As the Senate begins hearings this week on Trump’s nomination of Brett M. Kavanaugh to replace Justice Anthony M. Kennedy on the Supreme Court, conservatives are reminded how important it is that he, and not Hillary Clinton, is sitting in the Oval Office. But this past week has also served as a reminder that good policies do not excuse abhorrent behavior. If Trump cannot muster the wherewithal to be presidential when the occasion demands it, he may end up being a successful president — but he will never be a great president.

Gwinnett holding second poll worker hiring event

By Curt Yeomans

curt.yeomans @gwinnettdailypost.com

Gwinnett County residents who want to serve as a poll worker during the upcoming general election, but couldn’t make it to a hiring event held in Norcross on Thursday, will get another chance to apply this weekend.

The county has a high need for poll workers in part because of the number of voting precincts in Gwinnett. The county must also comply with a federal requirement to provide documents and assistance at the polls in both English and Spanish so poll workers who can speak both languages are needed as well.

The event set for this weekend — the second of the two hiring events county officials had set up — will be held from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday at the OneStop Norcross center located at 5030 Georgia Belle Court.

“Gwinnett has 156 polling locations as well as eight advance voting locations that we need to staff,” Gwinnett election supervisor Lynn Ledford said in a statement. “Working on Election Day is a great opportunity for citizens

to be actively involved in the process. Plus you can gain valuable work experience for a resume and earn a $120 stipend.”

Poll workers set up and break down poll locations, process voters and check their identities and answer questions from the voters. In addition to staffing the Nov. 6 general election, the county also needs poll workers for a potential Dec. 4 runoff.

Potential poll workers must be at least 16, a U.S. citizen, a Gwinnett County resident or county government employee, have reliable transportation and also have computer access so they can take online training that is required for poll workers.

Although they must also have an ability to

read, write and speak English, the county is strongly encouraging bilingual residents to apply because of the federal language assistance mandate.

The county is also encouraging residents who are interested in serving as poll workers to apply online before the hiring event at www. gwinnettcountyjobs.com.

Staff members from the county’s human resources department will be at the event, however, to accept applications.

Anyone looking to apply for a poll worker position must also bring documentation to verify their identity and legal authorization to work in the U.S., because of federal I-9 Employment Eligibility Verification requirements.

The full extensive list of documents that will be accepted for I-9 verification is available at www.uscis.gov/i-9central, but examples include drivers’ licenses, passports, social security cards, birth certificates, consular reports of birth abroad, certificates of birth abroad issued by the U.S. State Department, permanent resident cards and employment authorization document cards.

DeKalb County officials have raised concerns about the contract and what Gwinnett would get from MARTA versus what DeKalb has been getting from the agency. Several DeKalb residents called on the board to extend MARTA heavy rail along Interstate 20 to the Stonecrest Mall area.

DeKalb CEO Michael Thurmond and county Commissioner Jeff Rader penned a letter to the MARTA board to express their concerns.

They said in the letter that they “expect implementation of strategies to maximize the benefit to DeKalb residents of new service traversing DeKalb” if Gwinnett’s contract went forward.

“We welcome new participating jurisdictions to MARTA, however, we must address important deficiencies in the contract and in the level and quality of service that MARTA has delivered in DeKalb,” Thurmond and Rader said in the letter.

“Accordingly, we are writing to express DeKalb’s expectations for maintenance and expansion of service under the existing MARTA penny, and conditions necessary for the success of proposals for an additional levy in the future.”

Senior works way into key leader on Archer defense

By Will Hammock Andy Dyer, just before a hot morning practice in July 2016, took roll on the field and noticed Solomon Zubairu was missing.

The Archer head football coach went up to his office and made a phone call that changed the course of the rising sophomore’s football career. “(Dyer) called me up early in the morning and told me to get to practice,” Zubairu said. “I was just planning on missing that day. He talked to me and after that day, I got rolling.”

Before that point, Zubairu said he didn’t have the right mindset with football.

He wanted to play tight end and score touchdowns, but the Archer coaches saw him as a defensive end.

After Dyer’s call, he embraced his coaches’ guidance and developed into an important team leader,

want to do. Are you ready to get to work and do what we ask you to do, let us develop you? Or are you going to keep straddling the fence?’ Since that day, he has done nothing but work.

“He never misses a workout. He’s developed himself into a very, very good defensive lineman and into one of our team leaders. Right now he’s one of our top three or four most consistent kids every day, in the classroom, in the weight room and at practice. And the result is he plays well Friday because he’s doing those Grayson’s Demarcus Irons (3) is hit by Archer’s Solomon other things.”

den Knott (now at Butler Community College in Kansas) and current Archer senior Colby Wooden, an Auburn commitment.

Zubairu was in last year’s playing rotation for a region championship team, but now he is at the forefront alongside Wooden on the line.

“It was good (last year),” Zubairu said. “Not everybody is going to like being behind somebody. We all want to play. Every chance I got, I had to take advantage of it. I got to learn a lot from those guys like Choloh. … I definitely get to be an example now for the younger guys. That’s one of best ways I lead.

I’m not a big talker when it comes to it. I lead by example.”

a tackle for a loss, a sack and two quarterback hurries from his defensive end spot. The 6-foot-1, 240-pounder’s college interest is coming at that spot, as well as inside and outside linebacker. Dyer even sees him as “an incredible, fullback-type kid” in the right college offense.

Zubairu already has offers from Stetson (Fla.), Albany State and Seton Hill with only two varsity starts to his credit.

That list figures to grow steadily as his video highlights pile up throughout this season.

“I think he can play Division I football,” Dyer said. “He’s just waiting on the right (college) to watch his tape. … Football’s his love. He’s got a burning desire to play college football. I think he’ll get that opportunity and it’s extremely welldeserved.”

College football is a clear goal from Zubairu, who was born in New York to a Nigerian mother and lived in Italy as a toddler before moving back to the U.S. “It’s very important (to play in college),” he said.

“I’m one of the guys who loves the sport. I don’t look at it as a way to get out because I know I can make something of myself without football. But I love the game and I want to keep playing at the highest level possible.”

His coaches said his work ethic makes that a realistic goal.

“The easy part for him has been to get himself into the position to be a really good football player with the work he’s put in,” Dyer said. “But he’s put equal hard work into the classroom. He’s jumped his GPA up over a 3.0. He’s setting himself up to be successful.”

Zubairu steered himself more down that path slightly more than two years ago, when he fielded his coach’s early morning call to come to practice.

“He got up here in the next 30 or 40 minutes (for practice),” Dyer said.

“The rest is history.”

MILL CREEK AT ARCHER

will.hammock@ gwinnettdailypost.com

When Andy Dyer left his job as a Mill Creek assistant to start the Archer football program in 2009, he didn’t have frequent meetings with his former colleagues on the schedule.

That’s no longer the case.

“This is the 10th time we’ve played each other in four years,” Dyer joked of tonight’s matchup between the two programs.

His exaggeration is only slight.

Dyer’s Tigers have played Mill Creek four times since 2015, including twice last season. Both of the 2017 games were low-scoring, defensive battles and both were Archer wins — 16-13 in the regular season and 16-10 in the second round of the Class AAAAAAA state playoffs.

“We quit throwing our 7-on-7s against them in the summer because every time we turned around we were playing each other,” Mill Creek head coach Shannon Jarvis said with a laugh. “As much as we

Mill Creek’s Baxley Harris (5) runs the ball against Walton during the Corky Kell Classic last month at Mercedes Benz Stadium. (Photo: Dale Zanine)

respect each other, you do like a little variety. … But playing a team like them, it makes both teams better. They’ve got a quality coach who does it the right way.”

Jarvis and Dyer are good friends, talking once a week. Dyer also is neighbors with Mill Creek assistant coach and offensive line coach Josh Lovelady, also his former teammate on the West Georgia football team.

“We talk a lot, but we don’t talk a whole lot

about football,” Dyer said.

Both teams enter this week on a high note after rebounding from Corky Kell Classic losses.

Archer traveled to Wofford College for a 51-17 rout of Spartanburg (S.C.) behind Carter Peevy’s five touchdown passes, three to Braylen Weems (nine catches, 142 yards). The defense also was outstanding and scored a TD of its own on an Emmanuel Michel interception.

“It was really neat to play at Wofford,” Dyer

Greater Atlanta Christian is playing by different rules this week.

The Spartans packed up and flew to Texas to take on Prestonwood Christian, which is coming off its fourth state title in less than a decade under head coach Chris Cunningham.

Texas high school football uses NCAA rules, though.

“It’s college rules — from hash marks to the 40-second clock to targeting penalties,” GAC head coach Tim Hardy said.

“It’s an adjustment, but it’s fun. Fortunately, the NCAA changed its cut block rule so it aligns with high school rules, but it’s a little twist on the game (playing with a different rule book).”

The Spartans have some

YOU PICK ’EM:

GAC had a bye week after falling to Westminster in a disastrous fourth quarter on Aug. 24. Hardy gave his guys some additional rest and also addressed the issues that cost the Spartans against an old rival.

“We need to do a great job fundamentally on both sides of the ball because we let ourselves down in our assignments and technique,” Hardy said. “It’s frustrating that we lost like that, but we’re also very encouraged that all the mistakes are fixable.

“We got right back into it after the game with Westminster. We revised what we did physically (with the bye week) because we’ve got a long way to go. But the guys came in this Monday physically and mentally refreshed.”

Prestonwood, which opened its season with a 46-6 rout last week, is a

true spread team that likes to get to the sidelines and throw the ball. The Lions’ star tight end, Austin Stogner, is committed to Oklahoma and was the MVP of The Opening in Dallas.

“We’re excited about the challenge,” Hardy said.

“You don’t go all that way to not play an excellent program.”

GAC senior quarterback Josh Rose has passed for 360 yards and three touchdowns in two games so far. He’s backed by a stout line and has a number of targets, including senior receiver Ty James, who has 249 yards and three TDs, and junior running back Montae Bailey.

“Ty James has been outstanding,” Hardy said.

“I’m thankful for what we’re seeing (across the board), but also eager for what’s ahead. It’s a journey.”

I think they were minus-4 (yards) at half. We did what we needed to do.

Offensively, we scored on our first 4 possessions.

We scored in the kicking game. It was a good experience for us to go do something different from on our norm.”

Mill Creek has used its running game for consecutive victories since a season-opening loss to Walton. A veteran offensive line has paved the way for huge games by running back Chancellor Lee-Parker, who had 196 rushing yards against Dacula and 237 more last Friday in a victory over Norcross.

The Hawks scored 49 points on Dacula and 39 against Norcross.

“They’re running the ball as well as they have in a long time right now,” Dyer said of Mill Creek. “We’ve got to do a great job of tackling and winning the line of scrimmage.”

That play up front was the difference in Archer’s victories in the series last season.

“Last year, when we played them the first game, we got dominated on the line of scrimmage,” Jarvis said. “That’s something we pride ourselves on doing. Last year they were much more physical than us in that game. I think that will be the tale of this game, too. Who wins up front on the offensive and defensive lines.”

1998 to 2002, a total of just 17 points divided the two.

The Broncos, after a few seasons of using the pass extensively, have shifted more to their run-heavy past, much like those old days. They still had powerful running games the past few years, but this year’s personnel — a big offensive line and talented running backs Chris Carter and Eli Kohl — has dictated a more prominent role for the ground game.

Brookwood is 2-1 with two straight wins after a loss to defending state champion North Gwinnett in the Corky Kell Classic.

“You say they have new starters and all this, but Brookwood is a very mature program,” Collins Hill head coach Lenny Gregory said. “Their kids expect to win. They’re confident.

I think they’re really good on defense. To me, it will be the best defense we’ve seen so far.

I’m very impressed with what they’re doing on that side of the ball. They’re gigantic on the offensive line and they have two running backs that are very good. They may be young, and first-year starters, but they’re very confident and very mature.”

Gregory also has used a plan from the past to build up his program, just not one from the Eagles’ past. The second-year Collins Hill coach uses a wingT offense and philosophies throughout the program gleaned

from his years as an assistant coach at Grayson, where he won a state championship.

“Lenny’s very much trying to build a program in a similar way that Coach (Mickey) Conn built it at Grayson,” Jones said. “Similar offense. Similar defense. Bring a physical and emotional edge to everything they do. You can definitely tell this year they’ve made a lot of progress.”

Collins Hill enters with an 0-2 record, though both losses came to top-10 teams, Walton and Marietta. It nearly upset Walton in the opener, but fell behind early in a big hole to loaded Marietta. Despite that deficit, the Eagles outscored Marietta 13-10 in the second half and kept the final margin at 38-13. A controversial call reversed a late touchdown, Gregory said, that could have trimmed the score to 38-20.

The ground game was efficient in that game, too, behind Isaiah Love, who rushed for 143 yards.

“I was proud of Game 1,” Gregory said. “We made mistakes that ended up being the difference in the game. We made 20 mistakes and if it’s only 19 mistakes, we beat Walton, We’re one mistake away from winning that game. We just made too many mistakes. In the Marietta game, as a young football team, we could have easily rolled over and lost 70-0. But our kids hunkered down, bowed their necks and said we’re going to play.

And they did.”

THE BREAKDOWN

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

BERKMAR AT WASHINGTON BERKMAR PATRIOTS (7-AAAAAAA) Coach: Willie Gary Record: 1-1 Last week: Lost to Lithia Springs 39-13

WASHINGTON BULLDOGS (6-AA) Coach: Derrick Avery Record: 1-2 Last week: Beat Grady 34-0

Berkmar was on a high after Week 1, a 44-0 win over Cross Keys that snapped the program’s 47-game losing streak. The momentum carried into last week at Lithia Springs, at least for a half. The Patriots led 13-3 just before halftime, but surrendered a Hail Mary touchdown pass with the clock at zero. Another TD early in the third quarter squashed the momentum even more, helping Lithia Springs pull away.

The margin was still 21-13 until the fourth quarter.

“We should have won,” first-year Berkmar head coach Willie Gary said. “I know the score doesn’t tell what happened last week. We just played terrible in the second half.”

Gary still took some positives from last week’s games, including some stellar play individually. Sharif Hachem (12 tackles) and Nick Martin stood out defensiveSharif ly, while A.J. Feliciano had six catches, including a TD, on offense.

Hachem “We’re not down,” Gary said. “We’re still excited about football. I told them some of the top teams in college football lost last week. They feel the same way, too. But they go back to work and get ready for the next game.”

The next game brings a different experience, particularly with an early kickoff at Lakewood Stadium in Atlanta against Washington, which bounced back from two straight losses for a 34-0 win over Grady, a Class AAAAA school, last week. The AA Bulldogs are in search of their first winning season since 2013.

“They’re very athletic and on the defensive side of the ball they bring it,” Gary said of Washington.

“They like to bring five or six every play. We’re going to have to get the ball out of our hands on offense and block better than we did in the second half last week.”

When: Today, 5:30 p.m.

Last meeting: First meeting Location: Lakewood Stadium, Atlanta

HEBRON AT GEORGE WALTON HEBRON CHRISTIAN LIONS (8-A) GEORGE WALTON BULLDOGS (8-A) Coach: Jeff Saturday Coach: Don Williams Record: 1-1 Record: 2-0 Last week: Had a bye Last week: Beat Stratford Academy 35-0 Hebron had an off week last Friday after splitting its first two games of the season — the first a near upset of Clinch County, the defending state champion in Class A Public. Game 2 got off to a slow start — Holy Innocents’ got an early score and led 7-0 after a quarter — but Hebron reeled off 38 straight points for a comfortable victory.

Colten Gauthier (16 of 24 passing, 292 yards) continued his exceptional play at quarterback, throwing three touchdown passes, two to Will Warbington and another to Logan Johnson. His 73-yard TD pass to Warbington in the second quarter kick-started the rout and gave Hebron its first lead. Fellow receiver Jeffrey Saturday caught seven passes for 89 yards.

Will “(Gauthier’s) doing fantastic,” Hebron head coach Jeff Saturday said of the Warbington first-year quarterback who transferred in from Loganville. “I’ve been really happy with his maturation. We got away with some throws and our receivers made some great catches on some contested balls (against Holy Innocents’). You don’t want to live on those. But it was our Friday night and our guys made the plays. … He had great touch all night long. He’s a competitior. I’ve been impressed with how hard he works and how much he wants to learn.

“And let’s be honest. Our receivers are playing exceptional football. They’re blocking, making plays, gaining yards after the catch.”

George Walton likely offers a tougher test for the Lions. The Bulldogs haven’t allowed a point in their first two games, shutouts of Class AAAAA Walnut Grove (16-0) and Stratford Academy (35-0). They have made the state playoffs two straight seasons under Don Williams, their head coach since 1994.

“They haven’t given up any points so they play great defensively and they’re extremely athletic,” Saturday said. “Their two outside linebackers and two inside linebackers make a ton of plays. Their front three are extremley active. They are guys who aren’t going to quit.”

Last meeting: George Walton won 21-14 last year Location: George Walton Academy

LAMBERT AT PEACHTREE RIDGE LAMBERT LONGHORNS (5-AAAAAAA) Coach: Louis Daniel Record: 2-1 Last week: Beat Gainesville 16-15

PEACHTREE RIDGE LIONS (6-AAAAAAA) Coach: Reggie Stancil Record: 0-2 Last week: Had a bye

Peachtree Ridge hopes to put a complete game together after uneven performances the first two weeks of the season. The opening was a rough 47-0 loss at Lanier, but Game 2 was an improvement despite the final score, a 45-14 loss to Brookwood.

The Lions had a bye last Friday, allowing them to fix some issues and heal some from an injury-plagued couple of weeks.

“Hopefully our guys can put together more than one or two quarters,” Peachtree Ridge head coach Reggie Stancil said. “One thing we’ve got to correct from both games is penalties. If we can correct that, we can be much better.”

Brookwood led Peachtree Ridge just 17-14 at halftime thanks to a pair of late Devin second-quarter scores by the Lions. Quarterback Devin Williams accounted for Williams both, running for one touchdown and throwing for another.

“Our quarterback played really well (against Brookwood),” Stancil said. “He’s got to get better and more consistent in the passing game. In the running game, he does well for us. He understands the offense. He’s been in it for awhile.”

Stancil also got a gutsy effort from his defense against Brookwood from players like A.J. Murdock (six tackles, one forced fumble), Trent Brown (five tackles), Jalen Lee (nine tackles), Dominic Jones (six tackles), Terrance Harris (six tackles) and Amari Davis (five tackles, three tipped passes).

Lambert, which saw its four-year run of playoff berths end last season, has rebounded from an opening loss to Wheeler with two straight wins, routing Chattahoochee (42-14) and edging Gainesville (16-15).

Last meeting: First meeting Location: Peachtree Ridge High School

MOUNTAIN VIEW AT CENTRAL GWINNETT MOUNTAIN VIEW BEARS (6-AAAAAAA) Coach: Rob Kellogg Record: 2-1 Last week: Beat Dacula 21-14

CENTRAL BLACK KNIGHTS (7-AAAAAAA) Coach: Todd Wofford Record: 1-1 Last week: Had a bye

Central Gwinnett’s first two games were wildly disparate — a loss to South Gwinnett in the opener followed by a convincing win over Lanier. Mountain View head coach Rob Kellogg is paying attention to the second game.

“They took advantage of a lot of opportunities to score,” Kellogg said. “We’ve got to control the pass rush because they’re very active and very fast. We’ve got to find a way to contain the quarterback.”

Mountain View beat Dacula in the fourth quarter last week, seeing a commitment to platooning pay off down the stretch and getting a late infusion of fresh legs with the addition of running back Davian Criss. The senior was injured ahead of the game, but was able to come in for the late drive that sent the Bears past Dacula.

Davian Penalties also were an issue for Mountain View last week and Kellogg stressed Criss the need to clean things up during practice this week.

“We’re not being very disciplined and we know it’s on us to fix that,” he said. “We’re just trying to be sure we execute on everything we can control.”

One of the biggest differences for Central from Game 1 to 2 was keeping the ball and letting running back Justin Wilkins, who already has a handful of touchdowns, go to work.

“We had five turnovers in the opener and that’s a recipe for a loss,” head coach Todd Wofford said.

“We had one in Game 2. If we don’t shoot ourselves in the foot, we can compete with anyone.

“I like running back Justin Wilkins’ consistency and effort. He’s really a downhill guy, but he’s got some moves. He’s also our second leading receiver. He’s a very physical back but he does make people miss. He’s not afraid to block and he’s got a really high football IQ.” Wofford took advantage of the bye week to get a banged-up roster some rest.

Last meeting: Central won 54-14 in 2011 Location: Central Gwinnett High School

PROVIDENCE AT PRINCE AVENUE PROVIDENCE CHRISTIAN STORM (8-A) Coach: Parker Conley Record: 2-0 Last week: Beat King’s Ridge 14-9

PRINCE AVENUE CHR. WOLVERINES (8-A) Coach: Greg Vandagriff Record: 3-0 Last week: Beat Wesleyan 49-28

Providence opened the season with a runaway 49-12 win at home over Cross Keys and followed it up with a tight 14-9 victory over King’s Ridge. Now it’s time to tackle one of the best Class A teams in the state, Prince Avenue Christian. The Wolverines pulled away from Wesleyan in the fourth quarter last week and begin a stretch of three straight ranked opponents for the Storm.

Prince Avenue is led by 6-foot-3 sophomore quarterback Brock Vandagriff, the head coach’s son. His biggest targets are Christian Parrish and Mack Simmons.

The trio accounted for five touchdowns against Wesleyan.

“I’ve been telling the guys we have to be concerned with who we are and not who we’re playing,” head coach Parker Conley said. “We do have some tough games and Zach there is a bit of a schedule strain, but the bottom line is we’re going to compete.”

Douglas In last week’s win against King’s Ridge, Conley was especially pleased with the efficiency of the defense, but knows they’ll be tested by the Wolverines’ ability to get to the outside edges.

“We want to be able to let our speed guys lurk horizontally,” Conley said. “Prince is going to run its entire offense, but we’re going to let our guys work to try to find success on the outside.”

Depth at the skill positions has been a boon for the Storm, still a relatively young program, allowing them to move the ball around and get the playmakers open. Junior wide receiver/defensive back Zach Douglas has emerged as a leader on both sides of the ball for Providence.

Last meeting: Prince Avenue won 49-0 last year Location: Prince Avenue Christian

GRAYSON AT MARIETTA GRAYSON RAMS (8-AAAAAAA) MARIETTA BLUE DEVILS (3-AAAAAAA) Coach: Christian Hunnicutt Coach: Richard Morgan Record: 1-1 Record: 1-2 Last week: Lost to Bergen Catholic (N.J.) 34-22 Last week: Beat Collins Hill 38-13 Grayson is in the unusual position of coming off a loss, courtesy of Bergen Catholic (N.J.) last Saturday. The Rams had plenty of mistakes to fix in a short week of preparation.

“Hats off to (Bergen), they played a clean game and we played a sloppy game,” Grayson head coach Christian Hunnicutt said. “We beat ourselves with turnovers and stupid penalties. Before you can win, you have to keep from beating ourselves. We beat ourselves in a lot of ways.”

The Rams lost three fumbles, had 13 penalties, created a 27-3 deficit and couldn’t close the margin late against the New Jersey power.

“We beat ourselves in too many ways,” Hunnicutt said. “A lot of things we have Owen to fix and a lot of things we have to do to get better.”

Pappoe J’Kori Jones threw for a touchdown and rushed for another score in the fourth quarter, while Kenny Edwards’ interception for touchdown also contributed to a late charge by the Rams, but it was too little, too late.

Another challenge for star linebacker Owen Pappoe and the Grayson defense comes this week with a trip to Marietta and its explosive passing attack triggered by Harrison Bailey, one of the nation’s top junior quarterbacks.

The loaded Blue Devils also feature five-star junior athlete Arik Gilbert, wideout Ramel Keyton (Tennessee commitment) and offensive lineman Jake Wray (Ohio State).

Marietta also has a tough non-region schedule, which resulted in losses to Rome (51-41) and Good Counsel, Md. (40-28) before bouncing back last Friday with a win over Collins Hill.

Last meeting: Grayson won 21-14 in 2009 Location: Northcutt Stadium, Marietta

LAKESIDE-DEKALB AT DULUTH LAKESIDE-DEKALB VIKINGS (7-AAAAAAA) Coach: Zack Edwards Record: 1-1 Last week: Had a bye

DULUTH WILDCATS (6-AAAAAAA) Coach: Bob Swank Record: 1-2 Last week: Beat Lakeside-Evans 7-3

Duluth is coming off its first win of the season after a defensive clash with Lakeside-Evans and managing emotions was important as the Wildcats prepared for the other Lakeside, this one from DeKalb.

“The big thing for us is handling success,” head coach Bob Swank said. “But we were focused on getting back to the grindstone this week. We’re happy we won, but we’ve got to continue to play hard. The game last week was a really good step for us. It was the first time we didn’t beat ourselves.”

Turnovers doomed Duluth in its first two outings against Shiloh and Meadowcreek, but the Wildcats rectified it against Lakeside-Evans and gave themselves a chance to win at the end.

Logan A bad snap cost Duluth a chance to tie the game on a field goal, but Logan Goins Goins stepped up when the Wildcats got the ball back in the final five minutes.

Running a play action pass, Goins outraced the defense for a 70-yard touchdown reception and the win.

“The way the game was going, we were just shooting for overtime,” Swank said. “They just kept plugging and plugging.”

The challenge going forward is to repeat the process and not make mistakes.

“Lakeside (DeKalb) has some really good athletes at quarterback and running back,” Swank said.

“In the opener against Decatur, the running back had a 100-yard day and the quarterback does it all.

They’re pretty athletic.”

Junior QB Blake Miccichi also lines up at wide receiver on occasion. He’s the holder for field goals and the deep man on kickoffs. Lakeside has a pair of rushing threats, beyond Miccichi, in sophomore Peter Mulbah and junior Thomas Steele. Lakeside is coming off a bye week following its 49-0 loss to Northview.

Last meeting: Duluth won 27-13 in 2015 Location: Duluth High School

MEADOWCREEK AT DISCOVERY MEADOWCREEK MUSTANGS (7-AAAAAAA) Coach: Jason Carrera Record: 2-0 Last week: Had a bye

DISCOVERY TITANS (6-AAAAAAA) Coach: Efrem Hill Record: 1-2 Last week: Lost to Rockdale County 27-21

What both sides hope becomes a good rivalry begins this week, when Discovery and Meadowcreek play for the first time in varsity football. Students at both schools know each other because Discovery pulled students from the Meadowcreek cluster when it opened in 2015.

“Obviously, (our players) know a lot of guys over there,” Meadowcreek head coach Jason Carrera said. “They’re really excited about the opportunity to play them.”

The Mustangs, fresh off their breakout playoff season in 2017, are off to a 2-0 start with wins over Wesleyan (21-3) and Duluth (47-17). They had a bye last Friday to prepare for Discovery, riding the momentum of a big offensive game against Duluth. Quincy Bonner accounted for five touchdowns in that victory and Alonzo Alonzo Howard had a 95-yard kickoff return and three TD catches.

Howard “It’s been good so far,” Carrera said. “We improved from Week 1 to Week 2. The kind of key was eliminating mistakes. Against Duluth, we picked up a lot of fumbles and had some short fields and we executed well. We didn’t amass a bunch of stats because we had a short field a bunch of times. But we executed what we did.”

Discovery executed well two weeks ago in a 31-0 victory over Shiloh, but didn’t fare as well last week in a loss to Rockdale County. The Titans had five turnovers in that game, yet still only lost by a touchdown. Shamenski Rucker rushed for a pair of second-half TDs and Alex Drazic threw a TD pass to Terry Lockhart, helping the Titans fight back from a 13-0 halftime deficit.

“We made too many mistakes,” Discovery head coach Efrem Hill said. “We made too many mistakes early. We got off to a slow start and tried to play catch up at the end.”

Last meeting: First meeting Location: Discovery High School

NORCROSS AT NORTH GWINNETT

NORCROSS BLUE DEVILS (7-AAAAAAA) NORTH GWINNETT BULLDOGS (6-AAAAAAA) Coach: Keith Maloof Coach: Bill Stewart Record: 1-1 Record: 1-1 Last week: Lost to Mill Creek 39-24 Last week: Lost to Wekiva (Fla.) 28-14 Both teams, former region rivals who faced each other in the state finals five years ago, are coming off losses last week. North had a short week to rebound after playing a turnover-laden game late Saturday night against Florida power Wekiva.

“The margin of five turnovers to zero against the No. 1 team in the state of Florida is not going to work for you,” North head coach Bill Stewart said. “Their kids are first class and played tough and there was a lot of talent on the field. Our kids can learn from this and it shows how tough you’ve got to be to bow it up and play big-time football.”

North’s offense had a sluggish night despite sparks from Javonni Cunningham Isaiah (three catches, 76 yards, touchdown) and Devin Crosby (59-yard TD catch). TrisWilson stan Weddington (seven tackles, two pass breakups), Nick Pucciarello (11 tackles, two for losses) and Chris Miles (six tackles, sack, tackle for loss) were among the defensive standouts.

Norcross struggled to stop Mill Creek’s rushing attack last Friday, leading to a loss in a see-saw game. The Blue Devils put up their own big offensive numbers a week ago, including 309 passing yards from quarterback Louis Williams.

Hayes Sutton (six catches, 85 yards) and Isaiah Wilson (four catches, 100 yards, TD) were his top targets.

“We’re all right,” Norcross head coach Keith Maloof said. “We’re a young team, and we’re going to fight through it and we’re going to get better because of it.”

Last meeting: North won 35-14 last year Location: North Gwinnett High School

SOUTH GWINNETT AT SOUTH FORSYTH SOUTH GWINNETT COMETS (8-AAAAAAA) Coach: Steve Davenport Record: 1-1 Last week: Lost to Brookwood 34-0

SOUTH FORSYTH WAR EAGLES (5-AAAAAAA) Coach: Jeff Arnette Record: 2-1 Last week: Beat Etowah 36-14

South Gwinnett’s defense gets another crack at a downhill-running team this week. The Comets had a hard time stifling Brookwood last week and South Forsyth presents a similar style offensively.

“We always go back to the fundamentals,” South Gwinnett head coach Steve Davenport said. “The Brookwood game was tough for everyone, but we had to focus on South Forsyth. We had a good opportunity to do that at practice Monday (with the holiday).

“They’re big and physical, a mirror of Brookwood on offense. When you fail, it’s funny how life works out and gives you another chance. More than anything with sports, and football, you just want a chance to get back on the horse.”

Jalen The Comets also were able to draw on their season-opening win against CenSamuels tral Gwinnett in respect to defending South Forsyth.

“We’ve got to pick up the blitzes,” Davenport said. “We saw a whole lot of that against Central Gwinnett and that’s the game we can focus on. It’s a different animal but similar circumstances.”

Senior lineman Nick Grier has been a leader for a defense which held Central to 83 yards on the ground, though Davenport knows it’ll take a full collective effort to corral the War Eagles. The Comet offense is led by senior running back Jalen Samuels, one of just two returning starters, and quarterback Tre Truitt.

Felton, Massaquoi sign with AAF VOLLEYBALL

By Will Hammock will.hammock@ gwinnettdailypost.com

A pair of former Gwinnett players have joined the fledgling Alliance of American Football, which begins with a 2019 season.

Both Mill Creek grad Devozea Felton and Central Gwinnett alum Jonathan Massaquoi have signed with Alliance Birmingham, the Alabama franchise of the new league, founded

by TV and film producer Charlie Ebersol and Pro Football Hall of Famer Bill Polian. Both Felton and Massaquoi played college football in Alabama — Felton at Tuskegee and Massaquoi at Troy.

The AAF features eight teams of 52 players competing in a 10-week regular-season schedule that begins Feb. 19 and concludes with an April 26-28 championship game weekend. Alliance Birmingham is coached by former Atlanta Falcons assistant coach Tim Lewis. Other coaches in the league include Steve Spurrier, Brad Childress (Alliance Atlanta), Dennis Erickson, Rick Neuheisel and Mike Martz.

World U.K. Navy rebuked for sailing near Chinese islands China has called on the United Kingdom to stop “provocative actions” in the South China Sea, after a British Navy warship sailed near Chinese-controlled artificial islands in the region.

The HMS Albion sailed close to the Paracel Islands on Aug. 31, according to Hua Chunying, a spokesperson for China’s Foreign Ministry. Vietnam and Taiwan also claim the island chain.

“Chinese Navy legally verified the ship and warned it to leave,” Hua told reporters at a regular news briefing Thursday.

The HMS Albion is one of the U.K. Navy’s two amphibious assault ships, with capacity for more than 400 sailors. The ship was believed to be on its way to Ho Chi Minh City, having finished a deployment in Japan, according to Reuters.

Burt Reynolds dead at 82

By David Ariosto and Megan Thomas CNN

Burt Reynolds, the mustachioed megastar who first strutted on screen more than half a century ago, died Thursday, according to his agent Todd Eisner.

He was 82.

The Michigan native, whose easy-going charms and handsome looks drew prominent roles in films such as “Smokey and the Bandit” and “Boogie Nights,” suffered a cardiac arrest, Eisner said.

An iconic Hollywood sex symbol in front of the camera, Reynolds also tried his directorial hand behind it, and later earned a reputation for philanthropy after founding the Burt Reynolds Institute for Film & Theatre in his home state of Florida.

His roles over the years ranged and pivoted from Southern heartthrob to tough guy to comedy, notably for his role as Rep. David Dilbeck in the 1996 film DOJ announces “Striptease,” which flopped charges against at the box office but earned North Korean him widespread praise for his comedic prowess. programmer But it was John BoorThe Justice Department man’s 1972 thriller “Deliverannounced cyber hacking ance,” which cast Reynolds charges against a North Ko- as outdoorsman Lewis rean national linked to the Medlock, that is widely computer hacking of Sony credited for launching his in 2014, the WannaCry ran- early career. somware attack, and other Reynolds called it “by far” significant cyber intrusions his best film. in a criminal complaint unsealed Thursday.

“I thought maybe this film is more important in a lot of ways than we’ve given it credit for,” he said in an interview years later.

The movie’s infamous rape scene may have helped the public — especially men — better understand the horrors of sexual attacks, Reynolds said.

Born in Lansing, Mich., Reynolds and his family moved to southern Florida when he was 5, according to his autobiography.

At Palm Beach High School, he first made a name for himself as a football star and earned an athletic scholarship to Florida State University. But when injuries derailed a promising athletic career, Reynolds turned to acting.

He then scored small

parts in the late 1950s before landing a role in the New York City Center revival of “Mister Roberts” in 1957, as well as a recurring spot in the TV series “Gunsmoke.”

Reynolds’ notoriety soared through the late 1970s and 1980s, during which time he spearheaded the “Smokey and the Bandit” and “Cannonball Run” movie franchises.

But he also turned down some of the biggest roles in Hollywood history.

From James Bond to Han Solo, Reynolds also reportedly was among Paramount Pictures’ top choices to play Michael Corleone in Francis Ford Coppola’s 1972 epic “The Godfather.”

In 1998, Reynolds scored his sole Oscar nomination for best supporting actor

after his portrayal of a porn film producer in the film “Boogie Nights,” despite his dislike of the film and its apparent glorification of the porn industry.

Years later, with a mustache gone gray, he suffered from health issues that included open heart surgery.

Reynolds also checked into a drug rehab clinic in 2009.

The purpose was “to regain control of his life” after becoming addicted to painkillers prescribed following back surgery, his manager said.

Reynolds made an acting resurgence in recent years, appearing in numerous films and TV shows. He was cast in the upcoming Quentin Tarantino directed “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood,” scheduled for release next year.

People Academy nixes ‘popular film’ Oscars category The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences is rethinking the addition of a popular film category to the Oscars after the idea proved to be largely unpopular.

“There has been a wide range of reactions to the introduction of a new award, and we recognize the need for further discussion with our members,” said Academy CEO Dawn Hudson in a statement Thursday. “We have made changes to the Oscars over the years — including this year — and we will continue to evolve while also respecting the incredible legacy of the last 90 years.”

CBS reportedly negotiating exit for CEO Moonves

Les Moonves’ time as the head of CBS appears to be coming to an end.

CNBC, citing anonymous sources, reported Thursday that the CBS board is “deep in talks” with the chief executive that would result in him leaving the company.

Moonves has also told some confidants about the exit talks, a friend who spoke with him about it told CNN. It is unclear if he is trying to fight the board. Moonves did not respond to a request for comment.

Lyft launches a scooter service; Uber is close behind

By Matt McFarland CNN

or end their ride near public transit. Scooters can be found through Lyft’s app, and prices mirror industry standards of $1 to unlock a scooter and 15 cents a minute. The company is also adding a feature in its app to let commuters know when they’re near public transit stops.

Uber, which acquired bikesharing startup Jump in April, has seen riders in San Francisco shifting from cars to electric

bikes, suggesting the ridesharing giants must expand beyond cars if they don’t want to see upstarts siphon away business.

Samponaro said Lyft has received a ton of demand from cities interested in scooters.

Lyft will launch scooters in Santa Monica Sept. 17. It’s interested in expanding to other cities, but will take its cue on when to launch from city governments, according to Samponaro.

Tani Thai

15 E. Main St., Buford 770-932-1688 tanithai.com

Like most Thai restaurants, Buford’s Tani Thai offers curries. This Masaman Curry is served with rice and pairs well with wine.

BY ISABEL HUGHES

isabel.hughes @gwinnettdailypost.com

Owner: Jay Jimbhasut Open Since: April 9 Hours: Lunch; 11:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Mondays through Saturdays.

Dinner; 5 to 9 p.m. Mondays through Thursdays, 5 to 10 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays. Closed Sundays.

Location: In historic downtown Buford, two doors down from 37 Main Atmosphere: A former piano bar, Tani Thai keeps much of the feel — and decor — of its previous owner.

“It’s a semi-casual sitdown dining (restaurant),” owner Jay Jimbhasut said.

“It used to be a piano bar restaurant, so when we took over, we decorated to our taste. But we kept a lot. The artwork on the walls is from a local artist and we asked to keep it (up) on consignment because we liked the way it fit with the colors.”

Jimbhasut said he added some decorations to add “a little bit of a Thai atmosphere” to the room — namely, fresh orchids and several large vases.

The additions fit in well with the overall look of the restaurant. While Tani Thai is relatively large, it has a more intimate feel, which is largely due to its dim lighting and the smooth jazz that is piped through ceiling speakers.

“It’s romantic,” Jimbhasut said. “Because it’s sectioned off, it feels (cozy). Also, because we’re located in historic (downtown) Buford and Buford has a lot of history — this building itself is over 130 years old — we get a lot of people coming in and they tell us, ‘Oh, I remember when this place used to be whatever,’ so

ON THE MENU • Shrimp Cones: Crispy stuffed shrimp with minced chicken, accompanied by a dipping sauce — $8 • Masaman Curry: A yellow coconut curry with onions, sweet peppers, avocado and cashews with a person’s choice of chicken, pork, beef, shrimp or vegetables — $13 • Crispy Basil Duck: Crispy duck filet with fresh Thai basil, chili, onions and peppers — $19 • Pad Thai Noodles: Rice noodles, egg, onions, baked tofu, bean sprouts and peanuts with a choice of chicken, pork, beef, shrimp or vegetables — $12

that’s nice.”

Menu: Like most Thai restaurants, Tani Thai uses ingredients from both the land and the sea, and offers the classics — Pad Thai, Masaman Curry — that one would expect to find at such a restaurant.

Unlike some Americanized Thai restaurants, however, the recipes Jimbhasut use come from Thailand — with some “fine-tuning” that has been done along the way. “(My mother) was the one who originally had the recipes, and I got them from her,” Jimbhasut said.

“They were handed down from her uncle because he used to be kind of the local chef for the neighborhood. When there would be festivals, he would create dishes and she would be the helper.”

Given his family has been in the restaurant business for more than 40 years, Jimbhasut said inevitably, the recipes have had changes made to them over the years.

But the recipes have

it because it’s a strong scent and different flavor.”

Despite the alterations to the recipes, Jimbhasut said certain ingredients remain staples in Thai cuisine, which his restaurant doesn’t stray from.

“Thai food usually consists of land and sea, so we have the chicken, pork, beef and then we have the sea foods,” he said. “We usually get our seasonings from Florida, and those are mostly basil, lemongrass, (classic) things like that.”

Other staples include noodle and rice dishes, which form the basis of many Asian cuisines, as well as vegetarian options, such as tofu and vegetables.

Original painting headlines Duluth 9/11 activities Kathy Fincher’s inspiring painting, “The Dream Keepers,” a tribute to the children left behind after the 9/11 tragedy, has arrived from the George W. Bush Presidential Library and will hang in the Hudgens Center for special 9/11 memorial activities. It will remain there through Sept. 15.

Three separate activities will be celebrated in Duluth honoring 9/11 victims, survivors and all first responders with a special emphasis on this painting and its subsequent version, a monument installation at the Duluth Town Green.

Internationally loved artist Kathy Fincher will be present at a special event in the Hudgens Center at 11 a.m.

Sept. 11 to speak about her journey creating the painting.

With her will be Port Authority of New York and New Jersey representative Moises Gomez, who will present his riveting, behind-the-scenes

Holley Calmes story of the Ground Zero 9/11 event and restoration.

“There are so many layers for us to process about 9/11 and how its impact continues to be a part of our lives,” Hudgens Center Director Ife Williams said.“It means a great deal to me that The Hudgens is able to provide an opportunity for our community to hear from Moises and Kathy as we gather to reflect. Having Moises join us and share his experience is even more meaningful as we are also able to have

Last summer, Gomez authorized a flag to be flown over Ground Zero in honor of Duluth’s dedication of “The Dream Keepers 9/11 Monument,” a threedimensional recreation of the painting in Duluth’s Town Green Park. He later presented the flag to Duluth’s first responders.

At 6 p.m. Sept. 11,

Fincher and Gomez will give a presentation at Town Green Park telling the story of how the original painting became the sculptural art Monument.

The “Dream Keepers” monument is the only monument in the USA dedicated to the children left behind after 9/11. Etched in the glass of The Dream Keep-

ers 9/11 Memorial are the words, “May God Bless our children’s hands and hearts as keepers of the American Dream.”

At 6:30 p.m., the ceremonies move to the Red Clay Theatre for a special presentation and music. All events are free to the public.

After 9/11, Fincher only knew that she needed to express her grief and hope through her art, but she didn’t know how to start.

“I asked myself, ‘How do I begin?’” Fincher said. “I stared at that piece of paper for three days. Then I drew a rectangle and a cross. The rectangle was for the flag, the cross for faith.”

The painting evolved from that moment, and it has become a nationally loved symbol of 9/11 and all that it means.

“I am grateful I have had the opportunity to tell the story of who we are as Americans through the ‘Dream Keepers’ painting, through the eyes of children, representing our faith and freedom,” Fincher said.

Annual British Car Fayre set for Saturday in Norcross

BY ISABEL HUGHES isabel.hughes @gwinnettdailypost.com

The British are coming to Norcross — their cars are, that is.

On Saturday, more than 400 cars will make their way to historic downtown Norcross as part of the Atlanta British Car Fayre, which is now in its 18th year.

Considered the largest of its kind, the fair attracts visitors from all over to explore rare, vintage and speedy cars.

This year, more than 15,000 people are expected to attend.

“We are excited to once again welcome the Atlanta British Car Fayre to Norcross,” said Norcross Mayor Craig Newton. “Going on 18 years, the event has become a tradition the city looks forward to each year, and no matter if you’re a true car buff or are just here for the fish and chips, we invite you to come out and share in the energy of these timehonored festivities.”

While the marque of this year’s Car Fayre will be Jag-

uar, there will also be RollsRoyces, MGs, Triumphs, Austin-Healeys, Sunbeams, Aston-Martins, Land Rovers, Lotuses and other iconic British cars at the event.

The Car Fayre is free, though visitors are encouraged to stop into local restaurants for fish and chips at the Iron Horse Tavern or the Vintage English Tea Room in the Masonic Lodge for a “light lunch or proper afternoon tea” complete with scones, jam, double Devon cream and real English tea, which will be served with an authentic British accent

by ladies from local British groups.

In addition, the city will host its fourth annual Car Boot Sale — the British version of a garage sale — where gently used items will be sold from the trunk of a car or the back of a truck.

Norcross will close streets in the downtown area for the day, though a free shuttle bus service will be available from One Heart Church and Hopewell Missionary Baptist Church.

Kim Delaney is Patti Hill in “God Bless the Broken Road.” (Special Photos: Allied Films)

BUSTED NARRATIVE ‘God Bless The Broken Road’ lacks competent storytelling God Bless The Broken Road (PG) HHHH

By Michael Clark Movie Critic

Although they couldn’t be further apart regarding content and core audiences, horror flicks and Christian-based faith movies share a great deal of marketing common ground.

Both genres have committed, borderline-obsessed followers, many titles are direct-to-video and cable and each is essentially critic-proof. Knowing this, studios and distributors rarely allow the press to preview their films unless — as was the case with “Get Out” — they are looking for award nominations and Top 10 list notice.

Based on the song (that’s right, the song) “Bless the Broken Road” by the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band (later covered

by Rascal Flatts and the Christian band Selah), the movie of almost the same name has everything faith fans have come to love and expect. Not the least bit shy of appearing obvious, the official studio blurb states: “The film combines elements of faith, country music and stock car racing while paying tribute to those who serve in the United States Military.” That’s just about every item to be found on a Red State cinematic checklist.

From left, Madeline Carroll is Hannah, Jordin Sparks is Bridgette and Robin Givens is Karena Williams in “God Bless the Broken Road.”

As is the case with virtually every other faith film, “God Bless the Broken Road” (in the can and on a shelf since 2016) steadfastly avoids anything resembling subtlety or nuance and proudly wears its heart on its sleeve. Unchallenging and thoroughly predictable, the movie takes absolutely no chances and telegraphs every plot twist far in advance.

Following the now-familiar formula found in “What If…,” “Jerusalem Countdown,” “Do You Believe?,” “God’s Not Dead” and its sequel, producer-turned-writer/director Harold Cronk employs a 1950s, white-bread mindset to every facet of the narrative, including bloodless wartime action scenes and the exclusion of anything resembling rough language, even if warranted. It’s a safe bet soldiers and race car drivers use copious amounts of foul language, and pretending they don’t is

patently delusional.

Two years after the death of her husband in Afghanistan, widowed single mom Amber (Lindsay Pulsipher, “Lamb”) is about to go belly up. Barely getting by waiting tables at a Kentucky diner, Amber no longer goes to church (where she used to be musical director) and is in a perpetual state of mope. She is barely there for her adorable, almost-too-precious daughter, Bree (Makenzie Moss), and is at constant odds with her disapproving-of-everything ex-mother-in-law, Patti (a shrill and brittle Kim Delaney).

Within the first five minutes, Amber locks eyes in the church parking lot with Cody (Andrew W. Walker), a model-ready jock type with a lantern jaw and perfect fiveday stubble. A racer with Joe Gibbs’ team, Cody has been sent to “the minors” because of erratic on-track driving

now showing Recently reviewed films now playing in metro area theaters. Ratings are out of 4 stars.

• “BlacKkKlansman” — 3 1/2 stars Director Spike Lee delivers a great movie with a powerful message and humor inserted throughout at the right moments.

John David Washington shines as Ron Stallworth, the first black police officer in Colorado Springs, Colo. Based on real events, Stallworth teams up with Flip Zimmerman (Adam Driver, “Star Wars: The Last Jedi”) and other fellow officers to infiltrate the local Ku Klux Klan. Topher Grace turns in a great performance as national Klan leader David Duke. The movie has a couple of slow parts, but the simultaneous investigation of local black activists provokes thought and parallels some present-day events. — Michael Buckelew • “Christopher Robin” — 3 1/2 stars This is a movie of very big heart. Ewan McGregor stars in the titual role as the grown-up version of the boy

from A.A. Milne’s stories about Winnie-the-Pooh.

Emulating Steven Spielberg’s “Hook,” Robin is married with a child and focusing on work too much and his family not enough. Pooh makes his way from the Hundred Acre Wood to Robin’s new home, and Robin has to face choices of helping Pooh and his friends versus focusing on work. Pooh and his friends are portrayed wonderfully and don’t ever seem ridiculous when taken out of the Hundred Acre Wood. Hayley Atwell and Bronte Carmichael also star in the movie as Christopher Robin’s family. Jim Cummings heads up the voice cast as the voices of Pooh and Tigger.

Brad Garrett, Nick Mohammed, Peter Capaldi, Sophie Okonedo, Sara Sheen and Toby Jones provide the other character voices. — MB • “Mission: Impossible — Fallout” — 3 1/2 stars Tom Cruise again doesn’t disappoint in the latest entry in the action series. Cruise

returns as Ethan Hunt to stop three pieces of plutonium from getting sold to terrorists who want to weaponize them. Director Christopher McQuarrie’s film takes a lot of twists that can at times make following all the events tricky, but the overall product doesn’t suffer much.

The action sequences are spectacular, and the characters’ banter lightens up the movie at the right times. Ving

and crashing too many cars.

Placed under the supervision of cranky garage-owner Joe (Gary Grubbs, both “JFK” and “LBJ”), Cody is also reduced to helping church children (including Bree, naturally) design and build go-carts.

You know things aren’t going to be very engaging or deep when the most interesting sub-plot is whether or not Bree will be successful at growing a mustard plant.

Another reoccurring, baffling sub-plot involves Amber going to a pawn shop for two-week, 38 percent loans to cover her mortgage payments instead of asking the flush Patti for help or applying for a home equity loan, but alas these options would make too much sense.

Amber could also probably turn to her church for financial help but fails to do so, even though she is close friends with Karena (Robin Givens), who is married to the preacher (former NFL running back

Rhames, Simon Pegg, Rebecca Ferguson and Sean Harris return in their roles from previous installments, and Henry Cavill (“Justice League”) is a welcome addition as CIA operative August Walker. — MB • “Ant-Man and the Wasp” — 3 stars After the regal “Black Panther” and everything-plus-kitchen-sink throwdown that was “Avengers: Infinity War,” this latest Marvel Studios movie feels even more like the featherweight fluff it is — and that’s OK. Evangeline Lilly is as winsome as Wasp as Paul Rudd remains gregarious as Ant-Man. Though the film is missing the wit of the 2013 original written (and initially directed) by Edgar Wright, it benefits from a much improved villain in Hannah John-Kamen’s Ghost. — Khari J.

LaDainian Tomlinson). Sharing many scenes with Givens is “American Idol” winner Jordin Sparks, who would serve herself well by sticking to singing.

In addition to the unimaginative screenplay, the performances across the board are wooden and clunky and the working in of religious allegories is ham-fisted and beyond stilted. Nothing about the movie feels in any natural, and no one beyond the established “choir” will be interested in checking it out. The few bits of redemption as it were, is in watching Moss melting everyone’s hearts and Pulsipher (or her singing voice double) delivering yet another (catchy, solo acoustic) cover of “Bless the Broken Road.”

If the producers of faith films wished to extend their audience reach, they might want to consider leaving the safe, shallow end of the pool and going deeper. Mel Gibson did this in 2003 with “Passion of the Christ,” which, to this day, remains the highestgrossing R-rated movie of all time worldwide, and he managed to accomplish this with the backing and support of multi-denominational church leaders.

Liking or not liking “God Bless the Broken Road” or other similar movies has nothing to do with faith or one’s lack thereof, but competent, interesting storytelling. It’s not the message that’s failing here — it’s the messengers.

a woman-led facelift, and it works swimmingly. Sandra Bullock fronts the crew as Debbie, an ex-con with a plan — one that’ll require the talents of co-stars Cate Blanchett, Mindy Kaling, Sarah Paulson, Helena Bonham Carter, Akwafina and Rihanna — to steal a $150 million diamond necklace right off the neck of Anne Hathaway. It’s a standard heist film that’s as smart and cute as its winning ensemble. — KS • “Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom” — 3 1/2 stars In what is the best of this franchise’s installments since the original “Jurassic Park,” “Fallen Kingdom” brings back Owen (Chris Pratt) and Claire (Bryce Dallas Howard) to what they think is helping rescue the dinosaurs from ruins of the Jurassic World park. But after Owen leads a strike force to the lone surviving velociraptor, Blue, they find out they’ve been misled. Owen and Claire battle to save the lives of the dinosaurs before Eli Mills (Rafe Spall) can sell them to the highest bidder.

The movie is enjoyable from

start to finish, and it smartly explores the morality of creating and controlling life.

— MB • “Incredibles 2” (PG) — 3 1/2 stars It can’t quite live up to the near-perfect superhero family original, but it far outdoes every Pixar sequel effort not named “Toy Story.” Set just 14 seconds after the first film (which came out 14 years ago), this one focuses on Elastigirl’s fight to restore superheroes’ status in the world — and her husband’s reaction to being stuck at home with the kids: volatile teenaged Violet, still-impetuous Dash and toddler Jack-Jack. Great fun ensues.

— KS • “Solo: A Star Wars Story” (PG-13) — 3 stars Featuring a younger version of the rogue made famous by Harrison Ford decades ago, “Solo” is a fun enough romp to warrant a trip to the big screen. Alden Ehrenreich is better than expected in the title role (though still not great), and Donald Glover shines as Han Solo’s longtime frenemy Lando Calrissian. — KS

Save for the vastly underrated 1997 World War I psychological drama “Regeneration,” Pryce has been mostly a background or supporting player and watching him sink his teeth into this leading role — one with almost no positive attributes — is, not so much fun, but riveting.

Close, on the other hand, is charged with providing delicate counterbalance to Pryce’s broad strokes, and it is a role few other living actresses could pull off with

such rich understatement.

For the lion’s share of the running time, Close’s voice barely rises above a whisper, and more than half of the time she says nothing at all.

It is with glances, subtle eye movement, stiff body language and a stilted gait that she tells us everything about her character.

without a win, the buzz surrounding a certain seventh nomination has already begun, and although it’s far too early in the season to

even start making predictions, Close will easily be a sentimental favorite, and sometimes (think Paul Newman and Al Pacino) that’s all it takes to win. It also helps that Joan starts out as a willing victim then finally emerges with her dignity intact. Above all things, Hollywood loves an underdog story.
