himself a wrestling promoterdove into the wide world ofwrestling this weekend andfound he'd bitten off "way morethan he could chew."Greg Green, of Dublin, in-

few of the performers whoshowed up for Legends Festwere paid by Dublin Sportsand Entertainment with per-sonal checks from Green, butthey didn't expect the checks tobe any good.One wrestler took matters

into his own hands and confis-

cated the admissions moneyfrom the cash bag, which hesaid was almost as much asGreen promised him. DelWilkes, also known as The Pa-triot, posted a diatribe about"the fiasco" to his Facebookpage.Wilkes and the other

wrestlers arrived Saturday af-ternoon to a virtually emptygymnasium at the old North-west Laurens ElementarySchool, formerly the MillvilleSchool, in Dudley.The venue "was very, very

hot and it stunk," said Wilkes."This place was out in the

middle of nowhere, miles fromsociety. I was suspicious fromthe minute I walked into thisso-called Legends Fest. It wasin the middle of nowhere inwhat looked like an abandonedschool building. I told my wifewhat an unusual venue for anevent like this," he said.From the moment he laid

eyes on Green, Wilkes said "hewas sweaty, pale, nervous, jit-

The accuracy of fertility appsAt age 73, Mick Jagger is

about to become a dad for theeighth time, this time withgirlfriend Melanie Hamrick, a29-year-old ballerina. Now, wedon't know if she used a fertil-ity app and the pregnancy wasplanned, or maybe she used afertility app incorrectly and itwas unplanned. There mayhave been no fertility apps in-volved at all, but for manyyoung women, these digitalmenstrual-cycle monitors area 21st-century solution to therhythm method (notoriouslyunreliable) and another funway to use a smartphone!

Fertility apps do enablewomen to monitor their men-

strual cycles, but the digitalprograms have been getting abad rap lately. The Depart-ment of Family Medicine atGeorgetown University did anexhaustive study of fertilityapps and teased out the top 40from around 100 that are cur-rently available. From thatpool they found only Ovula-tion Mentor, Sympto.org, iCy-cleBeads, Lily and Lady Cyclehad either a perfect score onaccuracy or no false negatives.(We could not locate info onone other reliable app they cit-ed.)

But if you are going to relyon these, the study authorspoint out, learning everything

you can about the app is es-sential. We suggest, to eitherachieve or avoid pregnancy,you'll do best by pairing theapp with another method. Tocheck for optimal fertility, tak-ing your temperature is smart-- it rises when ovulation oc-curs. And to avoid pregnancy,there's always abstinence orcontraception.

Daughter turned againstmom must be set straight

DEAR ABBY: I have a prob-lem with my two younger sis-ters. Neither one can have chil-dren. I have three.

Recently, one of my sistersturned my sweetest daughteragainst me by telling her I had"abandoned her" when I movedto Ohio with my oldest son anddivorced their father. Not true!I left my daughter with my sis-ter so she could experience rais-ing a teenager since she could-n't have a child of her own.

After telling my daughter Ihad abandoned her, my sisteradvised her to tell me she nev-er wanted to talk to me again.My heart is broken. My daugh-ter is very sweet and gullible.She has taken her aunt's sideand says she wants nothing todo with me. This is driving mecrazy. Please tell me what to do.-- HEARTBROKEN IN THEMIDWEST

DEAR HEARTBROKEN: Ifyour daughter is a minor, de-mand that she return to youimmediately. Do it through alawyer, if necessary, becausewhat your sister is doing is aform of parental alienation. Ifyour daughter is an adult, thenask your other two children totalk to their sister and set herstraight.

DEAR ABBY: When a coupleis on an airplane in a sectionwith three seats (window, mid-dle, aisle) and a male strangerhas the window seat, shouldthe woman sit in the middleseat beside the male stranger,or in the aisle seat exposed toall passengers walking by? --

TRAVELER IN VANCOUVER,B.C.

DEAR TRAVELER: Whensomeone makes an airlinereservation, a particular seat isusually assigned and the air-line expects the passenger to sitthere unless the crew is notifiedand approves the change.There are many variables re-garding why a person wouldwant an aisle seat. Amongthem would be access to thebathroom, a person's size or adesire for more personal space.If sitting in the middle seat inclose proximity to a man youdon't know would bother you,mention it to one of the cabincrew and request a change, orjust switch seats with yourtravel companion.

DEAR ABBY: I'm a retiredman who took a community col-lege class. My lab partner was a

young woman who was havingdifficulties attending the class.She wasn't there for the finalexam, and I wondered if shehad dropped the course. I didnot have her phone number orher email address, but she hadmentioned she worked at anearby bank, so I went to visither there. We talked for a fewminutes and she told me shehad actually done quite well inthe class.

When I told my wife anddaughter about it, they wereshocked. They said what I didwas inappropriate because ofthe age difference and shecould have gotten into troubleat her job. Abby, they almost ac-cused me of stalking her.

I don't understand why theyconsidered this inappropriate.Is there a social rule thatmakes my behavior incorrect? Ifind it hard to believe someonewould get into trouble for talk-ing to a person in the bank atany age. Gender should not bea concern. I would have donethe same thing had she been aman my own age. -- AM IMISSING SOMETHING?

DEAR AM I: You appear tobe a very nice person. What youare "missing" is the fact thatyour wife is insecure, and yourdaughter backed her motherup. You did nothing wrong.

the Nassau County Jail wherethey await extradition back toGeorgia to face additionalcharges.Dutton said Florida au-

thorities learned about Deedsfrom a tip received by the GBIand U.S. Marshals Service.

On Saturday, Aug. 13, theGBI was requested to investi-gate the shooting.Around 9:30 p.m. Saturday,

Dodge County 911 received acall about a suspicious personnear the intersection of Smithand Main Street in Eastman.Smith arrived and encoun-

tered Deeds. Smith got out ofhis patrol car to investigateand was shot by the suspect.Smith returned gunfire andthe man fled the scene.Smith was transported to a

hospital where he died."Our hearts are just bro-

ken," Lewis Smith, the fatherof the slain officer, said in aphone interview Monday,which would have been hisson's 31st birthday."More than likely, Timothy

would always give people thebenefit of the doubt and try towarn them, just tell them tomove on, you're scaring theneighbors a little bit," LewisSmith said, adding that hehopes prosecutors seek thedeath penalty for Deeds. "Thisguy just executed Timothy."Nassau County Sheriff Bill

Leeper said his departmentreceived a tip overnight fromU.S. Marshals saying Deedsmight be traveling in a goldNissan Altima headed forGainesville, Florida. He saidone his deputies spotted thecar early Monday travelingsouth on U.S."After the driver and pas-

senger were detained, asearch of the car revealedRoyheem Deeds was hiding inthe trunk of the vehicle,"Leeper said.Deeds' sister and Mitchell

were charged with hinderingthe apprehension of a fugi-tive, Leeper said. He said allthree had waived extraditionback to Georgia. It was notimmediately known if any ofthem had defense attorneyswho could comment on thecase.Dutton said there was no

evidence the officer had beenlured into an ambush by a bo-gus call for assistance."It was a legitimate call,"

Dutton said. "A citizen had re-ported suspicious activity,which is what (the officer) en-countered."Smith had been with the

Eastman Police Departmentsince 2011. He was also a fa-ther of three children — twoyoung boys and a 5-month-olddaughter — and was engagedto be married.Smith followed his own fa-

ther, an officer of 29 years, in-to law enforcement."I call him a country boy

with a badge," Lewis Smithsaid of his son. "He workedseven days a week to providefor his family. There was nosuch thing as going out andpartying or anything likethat."

In addition to his full-timepolice job in Eastman, Smithworked part-time as an officerfor the tiny city of Glenwoodabout 30 miles away. With apopulation of 730 people,Glenwood employs only twofull-time police officers —Chief Randy Rigdon andLewis Smith, the slain offi-cer's father.Rigdon said Monday that

Tim Smith also worked forhim as a part-time officer, justa day or two each week whenhe wasn't on duty in East-man."He was a quiet, humble

guy," Rigdon said. "But he wasstern in his abilities to keepthe weak from being op-pressed. He took his job seri-ously."Dublin Police Chief Tim

Chatman met Tim Smithonce."I knew of him but didn't

know him personally," Chat-man said. "He seemed to be avery approachable, very pro-fessional and down-to-earthyoung man with a good atti-tude. He was a very pleasantyoung man. Our hearts go outto his wife and children. It isterrible. Their loss is our loss.They would have done it forme like they would have doneit for anybody else. We arefamily."Laurens County Sheriff

Bill Harrell said he and hisdeputies aided in the investi-gation late Saturday night."It is very devastating for

the community," Harrell said."People need to keep prayingfor the family. They are aboutto go on a long, long journey.Law enforcement had a lot of

support over there. Everyonein the community was bring-ing food and praying for peo-ple to be safe."One man told the sheriff

that "stuff like this don't hap-pen here."Harrell said they were

over there for more than 24hours. Harrell did not knowSmith but that did not stopthe LCSO or other agenciesfrom around the state fromresponding."We had between 120 to

150 officers outside that po-lice department from all overthe state to help," Harrellsaid. "It was like that all day.We were teamed up with offi-cers from Byron and wehelped check on leads. It wasvery humbling that thatmany people came out tohelp."Bill Crooms, owner of Son-

ny’s BBQ, said Sonny’s tookfood to the Dodge County 911center to help those involvedin the investigation."We are real sad about this

but taking food was the rightthing to do," Crooms said."This is really close to home.It might be Eastman, but it'shome, and we wanted to helppeople."Being in law enforcement

is a calling, Chatman said."The men and women show

up in the morning, afternoonsand at night at a time wherea lot of officers feel like theyare not appreciated," Chat-man said. "We are scrutinizedbut we do understand what isat stake."

tery, dry mouth, tongue stick-ing to the roof of his mouthwhen he tried to talk."Ted DiBiase, one of the

wrestlers who went completelyunpaid, said in a telephone in-terview Monday that he wantsto believe that Green "did noneof this maliciously, that "heoverloaded his plate."DiBiase said Green booked

him only four or five weeks ago,and it was only by chance thathe had an open week."When I got there and saw

the number of other guys there,and we were out in the middleof nowhere, I knew somethingwas wrong. The first clue wasseeing where it was, then thenumber of guys there. I thoughtthere's no way this thing can bewhat it should be. This is notgoing to happen."The only good thing that

happened, said DiBiase, was ina contact he'd made with theCadwell Baptist Church pastor.Nikita Koloff, another of thewrestlers, and he shared thechurch's platform Sundaymorning."We handled it better than a

lot of guys did," he said with alaugh. The former bad boy of

wrestling said the promoter"just totally miscalculated. Hebit off way more than he couldchew."Green told The Courier Her-

ald he expected a turnout ofclose to 1,000, many of themfans from outside the regionwho have bought tickets to seethe group of former greats thisevent will assemble in one loca-tion.Green went on to promise

three of The Four Horsemenand others, more than a dozen

legends of pro wrestling."This lineup is probably as

good as you'll find anywhere,"said Green. "It's kind of that bigof a deal."Some of the wrestlers were

from as far back as the 70s,some more current.Tickets were $20 general ad-

mission, $25 ringside and $99VIP. The promoter listed a linkto purchase in advance at face-book.com/dsewrestling.

Milwaukee leaders blame outsiders for violenceMILWAUKEE (AP) — City

leaders blamed outside agita-tors Monday after a secondstraight night of violencewracked Milwaukee's mostlyblack north side in protest atthe fatal shooting of a blackman by police.An 18-year-old man was

shot and wounded duringSunday night's unrest, whichwas milder and far less de-structive than Saturdaynight's confrontation but stillleft the city tense. Mayor TomBarrett singled out groups ofyoung people on the streets ofthe Sherman Park neighbor-hood who he said were intenton causing trouble."Those individuals, in my

mind, are deliberately tryingto damage a great neighbor-hood in a great city," Barrettsaid at a news conferenceMonday.Barrett warned parents

and guardians that police willbe strictly enforcing the city's

10 p.m. curfew for teenagers."This is not the place where

you go to gawk, this is not theplace where you go to take pic-tures," he said. "This is not theplace where you go to driveyour car around."The problems began Satur-

day afternoon after a black po-lice officer shot and killed ablack man after a traffic stop.Police say 23-year-old SylvilleK. Smith was fleeing and hada stolen handgun when he wasshot; they say bodycamfootage clearly shows himholding the weapon.Gov. Scott Walker on Sun-

day put the National Guard onstandby, but so far no Guardmembers have been deployed.Both Barrett and Police

Chief Edward Flynn creditedchurch groups and "many oth-ers" for staging peacefuldemonstrations, prayers andvigils earlier Sunday, as wellas volunteers who turned outto sweep and pick up debris af-

ter Saturday night's violence.He said they set the tone thatmade Sunday night's unrestless disruptive than it mighthave been.Flynn blamed a Chicago

chapter of the RevolutionaryCommunist Party for upend-ing what had until then been apeaceful night by leadingmarchers down several blocksat around 11:30 p.m. TVfootage showed a small groupof protesters walking or run-ning through the streets,sometimes toppling orangeconstruction barriers.Fourteen people were ar-

rested. Three police officersand four sheriff's deputieswere hurt.

The Wisconsin Department ofJustice is investigatingSmith's death, as required bystate law for police-involvedshootings. Barrett said hehoped the officer's body cam-era video could be released

soon.The 18-year-old Milwaukee

man who was shot and wound-ed in Sunday night's violencewas retrieved by a police ar-mored vehicle and taken to ahospital. Flynn said the man"doesn't seem to be in medicaldanger." Police didn't say whoshot the man but that theywere looking for suspects.Flynn said that while police

came under fire Sunday night,

"none of our officers returnedfire."Police cited Smith's

"lengthy criminal record" asthey identified him. Onlinecourt records showed a rangeof offenses that were mostlymisdemeanors. In a more seri-ous case, Smith was accusedin a shooting last year andcharged with recklessly en-dangering safety, a felony.The Milwaukee Journal

Sentinel reported that Smithwas subsequently accused ofpressuring the victim to re-cant statements that identi-fied him as the gunman andwas charged with trying to in-timidate a witness. Thecharges were dropped becausethe victim recanted the identi-fication and failed to appear incourt, Chief Deputy DistrictAttorney Kent Lovern told thenewspaper Sunday.

It was the fall of 1989 and Iwas finishing my last quarterat the University of Georgia.

I had made a drive to NorthGeorgia to interview with amajor textile company. I knewmuch of the textile industrywas already moving overseas,but this particular companyhad been used as an example inseveral of my managementclasses as an American manu-facturer that was adapting andmodernizing.

Countering foreign competi-tion in manufacturing is not anew concept or fear. In theeighties, we were all worriedabout the mighty industrialfortress of Japan.

Then they were quite theworthy competitor, far fromtoday’s empire of permanentnegative interest rates.

The company had a reputa-tion for employees having greatlongevity. As I was being giventhe plant tour, I was introducedto a lady working on the shopfloor.

I was told her name and herlife’s story. She had worked forthe company for more than twodecades. She had several rela-tives and her own son workingthere too. I was told many pos-itives about her and her people.She instantly felt like family.

As we got out of earshot, theplant manager leaned over tome and said, “It’s a shameabout her. She and a couple ofdozen others are going to belaid off next week.” I was con-fused.

This was a successful andgrowing company. She was likefamily. To several of hercoworkers, she was family. Andafter the glowing intro buy themanager, a cold and stark “hertime is up”.

The problem was she wasamong the lowest skilled work-ers. While the mill had more

business than it could handle,the processes were being mech-anized.

Her job function was nolonger needed.

She would be costlier toretrain for the jobs thatremained than a buyout wouldbe.

The personal affection themanagers had for herwould notovercome the harsh realities ofeconomics.

A friend of my family spentmuch of the first half of hiscareer moving textile equip-ment frommills in the southernUS to Central and SouthAmerica.

He spent the second halfmoving the same equipmentfrom those mills to Asia. Muchof the clothing end of textileshas a history of capital flowingto where labor is the cheapestand least regulated.

It was with this backgroundthat I was a bit surprised to seethat Georgia was selected lastweek as the location for the firstU.S. factory for Adidas to makeshoes.

The location is a equally sur-prising – Cherokee County, insuburban Atlanta. The north-ern Atlanta suburbs have atight labor market, and are not

known for large quantities ofaffordable unskilled labor.They are, however, an epicenterfor skilled technical labor.

The factory illustrates notonly how manufacturing, butmanufacturing jobs, are chang-ing. According to the AtlantaBusiness Chronicle, the Adidasfacility will use a “Speedfactorymodel, which relies on automa-tion and production robots.”

Thus, the 160 people thatwill make up to a half millionshoes per year won’t beunskilled. Even though theywill work in manufacturing,much of their skill will berequired for the high level ofautomation deployed in a mod-ern factory.

Much of our current politicaldebate is focused on returningjobs to the US that disappearedin manufacturing.

These jobs didn’t necessarilygo overseas. Many of them justwent away, with capital replac-ing labor.

The remaining jobs requireskills that manage capital tocreate the value added in pro-duction to justify wages for anAmerican standard of living.

America’s job and wageproblem isn’t that we don’tmake things anymore, but thattoo often our education systemdoesn’t create real skillsrequired by today’s employers.

Seventy percent of jobsavailable in America don’trequire a college degree, but wespend a disproportionateamount of our higher educationdollars on university levelcourses.

If we want to get seriousabout “winning again” withrespect to manufacturing, weneed to get serious aboutunderstanding what a manu-facturing job is in this millenni-um.

Programs such as therecently launched GermanApprenticeship program inNewnan are a good start.

The American dream is stillavailable for those willing andable to work.

To unlock our potential,we’re going to have to do a bet-ter job of ensuring thatAmericans have the right skillsneeded for the winning jobs oftoday and tomorrow.

Our Take

Georgia Power announced that the companywould be closing 104 of its 131 business officesin Georgia.Included on the list to close is the one here

in Dublin.The business office is what has always been

known as Georgia Power's face in our commu-nity. It is where customers pay their power billor report a problem to a local person or havetheir power connected or disconnected in asso-ciation with a change in address to a real per-son here in our community.For Dublin, the regional manager will oper-

ate out of the Georgia Power site used forputting up power lines and responding topower outages when they occur due to stormsthat result in loss of power, rather than thebusiness office.Power bills will now be paid at local retail

stores, like grocery stores or other retailestablishments.There will not be an office with real people

to pay that bill to, ask a question about thebill or talk to someone about a concern withone's power bill.There will be call centers and more online

avenues to do that, but it is always helpful toknow that if you cannot get the right response,you do not have to stay on hold on the phonewith someone who does not really know whereyou live.One reason given by the company for the

closing is that now many people pay online sothe company no longer requires a stationaryplace to pay bills.But, there are a lot of people who still use

the office to pay their bill, drop it by in thenight depository or go by to have their powerturned on or off because of moving.The state-wide closing will result in the loss

of 270 jobs now associated with the businessoffices. And, that may be where communitieswill feel the loss the most by the offices clos-ing.The people who work with Georgia Power

have always contributed in some beneficialway to our community.These are the folks who serve on the volun-

teer committees, help with our chamber ofcommerce, participate in our civic clubs, serveon the church boards and provide needed lead-ership in our community.The corporate citizenship utilized by those

who worked for Georgia Power showed that itdoes not have to only exist in the larger cities.It happened here, too.The closing of the physical business office

used by Georgia Power represents the end ofan era in that community corporate citizen-ship.That will be a loss and will be missed.

-- DuBose Porter

Georgia Power officeclosing - end of an era

Class, like beauty, is in theeyes of the beholder.

In my long years on thisplanet, I never met a man withmore class than the late Gov.Carl Sanders. He was andremains my political hero. Ashas been stated many times byme and others who grew upduring the period, it wasthrough the leadership of Gov.Sanders that Georgia wasspared much of the racial strifethat engulfed our neighboringstates in the late ‘60s.

He didn’t stand in theschoolhouse door and proclaim,“No, not one.” He didn’t closeour public schools. It was notnecessary for the federal gov-ernment to bring in theNational Guard to restoreorder. He was the right man atthe right time who did thingsthe right way.

Some of my fondest memo-ries are of sitting with Gov.Sanders in his offices atTroutman Sanders and listen-ing to him reminisce aboutGeorgia politics in the daysbefore social media and 24/7news coverage.

It was like hearing aboutthe Wild West, a frat party andstandup comedy all rolled intoone. The only problemwas thatafter having me roaring withlaughter, the governor wouldsay firmly, “Now, remember,you can’t print that.” Dang.And they were such good sto-ries, too.

I was privileged a couple ofweeks ago to be invited to the

90th birthday party of formerfirst lady Betty Sanders, aclass act in her own right. Ms.Sanders and I share a fewthings in common: Our admi-ration of her husband, our pas-sion for creating art and mycolumn. (She loves to read itand I love to write it.)

The fete was notable forseveral reasons. In addition tohonoring one of Georgia’s greatladies, it was the coming-outparty for the Woman WhoShares My Name.

After eight long months ofrecuperating from not one, buttwo broken legs, she was readyto party down. That’s her story.I suspect she came along to seehow somebody like me wasactually invited to such a gath-ering of the rich and famous, ofwhich I am neither.

And if I made it inside, sheassumed that I might create a

scene if a waiter offered me abroccoli canape on a toothpick.I get no respect.

The respect was all forBetty Sanders and fittingly so.Who else could draw a crowd ofsuch distinguished guests on asweltering summer evening inAugust?

Gov. Deal was there. So wasformer Gov. Roy Barnes.Former Congressman BuddyDarden. Vince Dooley.Lawyers. Judges. CEOs.Legislators.

A sprinkling of lizard-loafered lobbyists. Friendsfrom Statesboro — Ms.Sanders’ hometown — andAugusta — Gov. Sanders’home. And me. I was so puffedup to be rubbing elbows withthat crowd that I might evenhave accepted a broccolicanape on a toothpick had onebeen offered. I wouldn’t haveeaten it but I wouldn’t havecreated a scene, either. It wasthat kind of night.

Ms. Sanders referred to her-self in a recent newspaper arti-cle as “the paintingest firstlady Georgia has ever seen.”She has long been one of ourstate’s finest artists. Her cre-ativity seems to know nobounds. Her repertoire rangesfrom portraits to landscapes tostill life to paintings accentedwith rocks and minerals suchas amethyst, shell and quartz.The Sanders home in Atlantais a virtual art gallery.

A graduate of theUniversity of Georgia’s School

of Art, Betty Sanders studiedunder the legendary LamarDodd. She is not only a prolificartist, she is a devoted promot-er of art.

It was through the sale andexhibition of her own art thatthe signature fountain in frontof the governor’s mansion wasfunded and built.

With her encouragement,Gov. Sanders established theGeorgia Council for the Arts.Over the years, she has donat-ed her artwork to schools andmuseums across the state. Ms.Sanders has been particularlyactive at Georgia SouthernUniversity in Statesboro wherethe university has named itsfine arts department for her.

Most of all, she has inspiredrank amateurs like me to seekand find the joy and satisfac-tion that comes from creating apainting, although to compareher work with mine is to com-pare fine china to paper plates.

Betty Foy Sanders is a greatlady who was married for 67years to a great man. Bothhave made Georgia better bytheir being here. I’m glad shelet me come to her birthdayparty.

chine was brought in to rip upthe pavement so that mem-bers of the gas departmentcould get to the broken gasline and correct the situation.While digging to uncover thegas line, a water line was ac-cidentally broken by the back-hoe machine, causing water toflow into the area of the leak-ing gas.With gas spurting some six

to eight feet high and waterflowing freely in the area,many home owners of thearea gathered to watch as theflow of water and gas was cutoff so the repair work couldbegin.How the gas line was bro-

ken, no one actually knows.

LOCAL BOYSAT TRAINING CAMPSThe Dublin Irish and the

East Dublin Rams are sleep-ing in new quarters this week,the Irish reposing at SpenceField in Moultrie and theRams at Jekyll Island for theweek-long camps to readythem for their upcoming foot-ball schedules.Before leaving, Head

Coach of the Rams, CharlesFrazier, said, "We hope towork the boys about eighthours a day,giving them plen-ty of head-knocking and plen-ty of offensive and defensivepractice. We want to comeback home ready to go out andstart our season on Aug. 26with a victory over the WadleyDragons at Rams Field.”Coach Don Denning's Irish

had a rough time getting toMoultrie. First, the players'bus, the Green Goose, brokedown not too far outside ofDublin when a water hoseand a fuel pump gave way,causing the Irish to sit aroundthe roadside about an hourand a half.After repairs, however, the

old Green Goose rolled into,Moultrie and the Irish foundgood news. The camp wherethey are spending the week

has the nicest facilities thatthe Irish have had in recentyears. Boys are four to a room,and everything is clean. Too,the practice area is larger andfiner. The boys are quarteredin air force barracks, but all ofthe living necessities aremuch nicer and cleaner thanwhat they have had to put upwith at the former Douglascamps.After the rigors of the six-

hour trip to Moultrie, theIrish took to the practice fieldfor the first time and wentthrough what Denning de-scribed as "one of our bestpractices of the season."The Irish coach said that

George walker, a pint-sizedfreshman quarterback, wasthe leading spark that ignitedthe spirit of the squad. Al-though some offensive playswere practiced, most of theworkout consisted of punting,place kicking, and kickoffs.He said that fullback MikeRich is showing progress indeveloping into the number 1kick-off man, but that he isbeing pushed by tackle BobbyClements. Bill Perry and Ken-ny Webb continue to look goodpunting, and Rich Perry, andCharlie Garbutt are all tryingto win the number 1 placekicking spot.

Dublin’s only Invasive and Interventional Cardiologist residing in Laurens County

By CLAY REYNOLDSSOPERTON — It’s easy for

Treutlen head coach BrittIngle to name off the handfulof players who will lead hisfootball team this year. All hehas to do is recite the names ofeach of his 12 seniors.The program’s class of 2017

is one of its most experiencedgroups in years, both on thefootball field and in othersports, particularly baseball,in which the Vikings won theClass A-public state title thispast spring.Many of those seniors have

started for two years or more,and have the sort of chemistryyou’ll only find among playersthat have competed alongsideeach other since middleschool.“It’s just a good group of

kids,” he said. “They look outfor each other. They’re a veryclose-knit group.”That will be a key ingredi-

ent this fall for a football teamIngle believes has a chance tomake a memorable season ofits own.The Vikings will look to do

that behind the play of twodynamic seniors who will leadtheir experienced offense.The first of those is quar-

terback Tyler Benjamin,whose arm and light-footedelusiveness in the pocket havehelped define the Vikings’pass-happy variation on theWing-T, nicknamed the “Sling-T.” Benjamin threw for 1,614yards last season, completing57 percent of his attempts for17 touchdowns and just threeinterceptions, while also

accounting for 10 scores as arusher. He had a pair of touch-downs as both a passer and arusher in the Vikings’ twoscrimmage games.Ben Blackshear, who

rushed for 321 yards and twotouchdowns on 60 carries lastseason, will replace TavariusHarden as Treutlen’s No. 1running back, and take plentyof direct snaps in a packageheavy on elaborate misdirec-tion that resembles PopWarner’s single-wing offenseof the early 1900s. Blackshear,in the scrimmages, had a hand

By CLAY REYNOLDSMOUNT VERNON — John

Bowen couldn’t have asked formore team speed to work within his first season atMontgomery County HighSchool.Hired in February, Bowen

inherits an athletic group ofskill players, many of themgifted sprinters, that will pro-vide a great deal of the horse-power in his offense anddefense this year.“I think the biggest

strength is our speed,” Bowensaid. “We did get third place inthe state track meet last year,and several of those guys arefootball players… We’ve gottatranslate that speed from thetrack onto the football fieldthough.”That abundance of sub-4.6

40s on the roster gives theEagles confidence they can becompetitive in the first yearunder a new coach.A journeyman with 19 pre-

vious seasons of head coachingexperience, Bowen comes toMontgomery County fromCross Keys High School inAtlanta, where he spent lastseason. He has previous stopsas a head coach at GlascockCounty, Hephzibah and JohnHancock Academy.He replaces Eric

McDonald, who stepped down

in January after four seasonsas head coach. The Eagleswent 4-36 in that time span,and were winless in both their2015 and 2012 campaigns.The job opening offered him

the challenge of rebuilding aprogram whose last winningseason was in 1989, but wasattractive because he knewthat the community andschool in this area took thesport seriously.“It was an opportunity to go

to a place where football was alittle more important,” Bowensaid.He’s preached on the

importance of a strong workethic throughout spring prac-tice and summer workoutsinto fall camp, helping his

Dublin, West Laurens hit gridiron for preseason tuneups

Dublin wide receiver and defensive back Holden Baisden (4, foreground) lifts his hands in the air ashe watchs teammate Israel Phillips score on the final play of the first half in Dublinʼs scrimmage Fridaynight against Twiggs County. With just seconds remaining, Phillips broke several tackles on a carryup the middle and dove across the goal line to score the touchdown that put his team up 14-6 goinginto halftime. The Irish scored four more touchdowns in the second half, and pulled away from theCobras to win 42-6. Baisden had two interceptions (bottom photo), including a pick-six in the thirdquarter. Jermaine Cooley (21, below), Zion Washington, Marcus Adams and Greg Jones also rushedfor touchdowns in the game. The Irish go on the road to open the regular season this Friday in a con-test against Tattnall County in Reidsville. Look for preview coverage in Thursdayʼs edition of TheCourier Herald. (Photos by Clay Reynolds)

Irish outrun Cobras in scrimmageWest Laurens running back Isaiah Moorman (8) breaks free for one of several long runs he had inFriday nightʼs 21-7 scrimmage win over Bleckley County. Moormanʼs big run set up Austin Ramseyʼsquarterback sneak to put the Raiders on the scoreboard, and later Moorman bulled his way for a 3-yard touchdown to make the score 14-0 early in the second quarter. The Royals cut the score to 14-7 with a fourth-down TD after a Raider interception was nullified by a pass interference penalty. TheRaiders dominated the third and final quarter of varsity play. The defense held the Royals to just fouryards of total offense and forced three straight 3-and-outs. The Raidersʼ Storm Walker scored on anifty 54-yard sweep, but the TD was brought back on a holding call. Ramsey, however, connected onthree passes on the possession — the last being a 30-yard touchdown toss to Jeremiah Giddens. TheRaiders open the season Aug. 26 against Wayne County.

in five touchdowns — four as arusher and one as a receiver.Treutlen enters the season

with a rare luxury: having allfive of its starters returningon the offensive line. Theirchemistry has provided a con-sistency this offseason thatfew other teams get to buildon.“They kind of feed off each

other,” Ingle said. “They knowwhat the guy beside them isgonna do because they’veplayed together for so long…Obviously that’s gonna be oneof our biggest strengths. We’regonna rely on them a lot tokeep us in ballgames and con-trol the clock.”Defensively, the Vikings’

depth chart is a bit moreunsettled. But that’s not forlack of athletes.Only a handful of returners

have nailed down their partic-ular position, since Ingle hasbeen shuffling many of hisdefensive players throughoutspring and fall practice inhopes of finding the best spotsfor each one.Among the few places you

can count on seeing a particu-lar player are on the defensiveline, where T.K. McLendonand Stan McCoy will startopposite each other at end.Blackshear and Benjamin willalso start in the defensive sec-ondary.

“We’re trying to figure outwhere people fit,” Ingle said.“It’s still early on in theprocess.”

The Vikings face a sched-ule that’s similar to whatthey’re used to. Contestsagainst rivals Wheeler,

Montgomery and JenkinsCounties are flanked on theregion slate by critical ball-games versus ECI andJohnson County — matchupsthe Vikings haven’t won since1989 and 2003, respectively.Both games were key losses

in a 5-5 campaign last seasonthat Treutlen would enjoyturning into wins this timearound.“We were in a couple of

games (last season) where weended up losing, but we’reclose to hopefully taking that

next step,” Ingle said.His team’s hunger to do

that has been fueled greatlyby the success they’ve seenaround them in the past year.In addition to the baseball

state title, Treutlen HighSchool has seen its wrestlingteam and girls and boys bas-ketball teams enjoy deep post-season runs in the past year.“We’ve had a lot of success

in other programs within theschool,” Ingle said. “There’sbeen a lot of folks that want toget the (football) program tothat level as well.”His players have set the

bar high for themselves, butIngle is doing his part to keepthem humble and focused onachieving that goal one step ata time.“Our biggest challenge, out-

side of staying injury free isprobably not putting too manyexpectations on ourselvesbecause of the success we’vehad in other sports,” Inglesaid. “You’ve got to stay evenkeel. You can’t get too highwhen things go good or too lowwhen things go wrong. If wecan do that I think we canhave a very successful seasonhere at Treutlen.”The Vikings open the regu-

lar season this Friday atBobby Driggers Stadiumagainst Georgia MilitaryCollege.Kickoff is set for 7:30 p.m.

players through a transitionthat’s been about more thanjust Xs and Os.The Eagles have tabbed

junior Kris Daniels, a starterat linebacker who saw timeunder center last season, astheir new starting quarter-back.“He’s got a little bit of expe-

rience, but he hasn’t experi-enced a whole lot of success atQB,” Bowen said. “He’s boughtinto everything we’re doing.He’s working hard every day.We’re expecting him to have away bigger year statisticallythan he had last year.“Junior Clayton Harvey, the

Eagles’ leading returningrusher and a 2015 state cham-pion in the 400 meter dashand 4x400 relay, will lead onboth sides of the line of scrim-mage, carrying much of theload at running back and dou-bling on defense as both alinebacker and safety.Junior Jamaal Fields, also

a running back, senior JayDasher, one of Harvey’s relay

teammates, and juniorDeQuan Jackson help roundout a secondary unit thatBowen will ask to go man-to-man in coverage on a regularbasis.“Our corners are gonna

have a lot of pressure onthem,” Bowen said. “We’regonna play a lot of aggressivecoverages.”Junior Shaw Robinson, a

shooting guard on the Eagles’basketball team, lines up atreceiver with expectations of abreakout season.“He’s had a good summer,”

Bowen said. “He runs prettygood routes and has betterthan average hands.”A challenge for

Montgomery County cominginto the fall will be holdingtheir own on the offensiveline, where Bowen will likelystart three freshmen and asophomore. Their experiencewill be a concern early in theseason.“They’re gonna have to step

up fast, mature and prove

they can handle the physicalpart of playing in the trenchesor else those backs are gonnahave to learn to be their ownblockers,” Bowen said.But he says there have

been plenty of positive signsthis offseason that point tosteps forward for a programthat hopes to return to a com-petitive level this year.“We’ve had some good

things going on in the weight-room,” Bowen said.“Especially at the skill posi-tions. Our skill position guysare pretty physically strongand they’re gonna be fast. Butthe lineman are young and not

as strong as the backs. Someguys are gonna have to grow.”The Eagles open the season

against powerhouse JohnsonCounty, and play two regionballgames in the first threeweeks of the season. But twoof those three matchups arealso at home. Finding a way tomake a good break from thestarting gate will be an impor-tant factor in how the Eaglesperform against a difficultschedule.“We get to find out kind of

where we’re at in the mixright off the bat,” he said.Kickoff this Friday is set

for 7:30 p.m.

Robinson makes splash in Falcons' deep WR competitionFLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. (AP) —A

big preseason debut with the Falconsallowed Aldrick Robinson to stand outin a deep competition at wide receiver,if only for the day.Then it was back to the training

camp grind in one of Atlanta's mostcompetitive positions.Robinson showed his big-play poten-

tial with receptions of 47 and 68 yardsin Atlanta's 23-17 preseason win overWashington last week. He had threecatches for 118 yards."We've been working so hard. To

have the success I had, it feels good,"Robinson said Monday.The team's depth chart for

Thursday night's preseason game at

Cleveland includes Julio Jones andMohamed Sanu as the startingreceivers. Robinson and Justin Hardyare the top backups.Eric Weems, whose chances are

greatly helped by his experience as areturn specialist, rookie Devin Fuller,Nick Williams, J.D. McKissic, JordanLeslie, Corey Washington and DavidGlidden also are competing for spots."I'd say it's a deep group. That's

what we've learned, number one,"coach Dan Quinn said after practiceMonday.Jones said Robinson's big debut was

no fluke."He had a great game for us," Jones

said. "But there is more to come from

Al."The ability to earn a spot on special

teams could be crucial.McKissic, a rookie free agent from

Arkansas State, showed excellentspeed when he returned a kickoff 101yards for a touchdown to open the sec-ond half against Washington. He addeda 14-yard punt return.Robinson knows he also must make

his mark on special teams."I'm not a starter so I've got to find a

way to get on the field on game day totry to help this team," he said. "If that'sspecial teams, I'm willing to do that."Hardy is pushing Sanu for the No. 2

job, but Jones' status as the leader ofthe group is unchallenged. Jones is

coming off his first All-Pro season."I like the competitiveness of the

group," Quinn said. "It certainly helpswhen the leader of that group has astandard of how well he works. Whenyou see him busting it like that, it'spretty hard not to follow suit."Robinson signed with Atlanta on

March 15, two weeks after the teamreleased veteran Roddy White, whoholds most of the Falcons' careerreceiving records.The Falcons also released receiver

and return specialist Devin Hesterbefore training camp. Veteran LanceMoore announced his retirement onAug. 8, only three days after signingwith the team.
