One of the 50 workers from Mississippi Power who is helping restore power in the Laurens County area.

EMC's, Georgia Power making progressBy KELLY LENZSince Tropical Storm Irma swept

through Laurens County Monday,power crews have been working me-thodically to restore power to essen-tial services such as wastewatertreatment plants and hospitals –which are critical services that affectlarge numbers of citizens. They areworking to restore power to house-holds as well. Jay Studstill,area manager at Georgia Power said,that more than 50 Mississippi Powerlinemen, support representatives andlead supervisors have had a “substan-tial impact” on speeding up theprocess.Studstill said Mississippi Power

was called in to help because the“damage was so widespread and thereo much serious damage, which meanspoles are broken and wires are on theground.”Because of Mississippi Power’s

help, Studstill said “their assistancehas been instrumental in getting us

to a point that we can even servesome individual customers off of ourmain line. They’ve increased thespeed of restoration possibly a weekfor us. If it had been just our crewshere locally, it may have taken us twoweeks to restore all of the power.”The main areas they’re working in-

clude Dublin, East Dublin, Danville,Rhine and Soperton, Studstill said.“During my career this is the most

widespread damage that I have seen,and it’s the most widespread restora-tion I’ve seen with the company.There may have been worse in thepast, it’s just what I’ve personallyseen.”Studstill said customers who have

internet access, may view GeorgiaPower’s outage map, which shows da-ta in real time, at georgiapower.com.According to the current data as of

Wednesday afternoon, in LaurensCounty there were 11,274 customersserved.Studstill said that when it comes to

storm restoration, “It becomes almostlike a science. It’s like moving a smallarmy because you’re moving so manyheavy-duty trucks and people. The lo-gistics become a real challenge. Thisparticular team is spending the nightin the (Macon) Coliseum. They startwork at 5 a.m. and then they drivedown here and then they’ll go back atthe end of the night. They have over100 people here. The other parts ofthe team are working Hawkinsville.”He said that the “company has not

established a time frame yet for whenpower will be completely restored. It’svery fluid at this point.”"We’re well organized," said

Studstill. “If you are on the outsidelooking in, it may seem that we’re not,but we are. My number one goal is toget the most critical life support facil-ities back on first. That would bewastewater treatment plants andhospitals. We have to get the workdone but we’ve got to do it safely. We

Horses evacuate out of harms way to DublinBy DAHLIA ALLENJessica Meyer saved the Dublin-

Laurens County Recreation Authority’stelephone number after HurricaneMatthew blew across coastal Georgialast fall. She used it late last week tofind shelter for the half dozen horsesshe brought with her when she fledHurricane Irma.Meyer was one of several horse own-

ers who stabled their horses at South-ern Pines through the weekend. Mostwere preparing to leave Tuesday morn-ing.Meyer is part owner of Riley’s Res-

cue Ranch in Guyton in EffinghamCounty near Savannah. “It’s sort of aretirement facility for horses,” she said.“When we left home, the storm washeaded right at us.”She said she chose Dublin because

the Ag Expo in Perry had not openedfor horses at that time.Meyer and her husband Alex Par-

tain were sleeping in a tent theypitched in one of the stalls. Meyer’sbusiness partner Mary Close and herdaughter Taylor Close were staying ata motel.They brought hay and feed with

them from their stables.“We’ve filled two big tubs with water

and are keeping their buckets full,”Partain said. “They aren’t drinkingmuch because it’s not so hot.”They had help from a friend to bring

the horses to Dublin. With one trailerthat transports two horses at the time,they may have to make three trips toget all the horses home, he said.Tricia Roeske, from Horse and Bri-

dle Ranch in Guyton, brought 14 hors-es with her. “I came here last year,” she

WASHINGTON (AP) —House Speaker Paul Ryan onWednesday said deporting hun-dreds of thousands of young im-migrants brought into the coun-try illegally is "not in our na-tion's interest," as he and Presi-dent Donald Trump prepared tohuddle with top Democrats totry to hash out a legislative fix.Speaking in an AP News-

maker interview, Ryan said hebelieves the president "madethe right call" when he an-nounced he would give Con-gress six months to figure outwhat to do with former Presi-dent Barack Obama's DeferredAction for Childhood Arrivalsprogram before dismantling it.DACA has given nearly 800,000young people protection fromdeportation and the right towork legally in the country."I wanted him to give us

time. I didn't want this to be re-scinded on Day One and createchaos," Ryan said, arguing thetime would allow Congress to"come up with the right kind ofconsensus and compromise tofix this problem."As part of that effort, Ryan

will be meeting with theHouse's top Democrat, NancyPelosi, on Wednesday evening,before Pelosi heads to the WhiteHouse for a dinner with Trumpand Senate Democratic leaderChuck Schumer. The leaderswere expected to discuss DACA,among issues, according to con-gressional aides and the WhiteHouse. Trump also met with agroup of moderate members ofCongress from both partiesWednesday afternoon, where heurged them to come up with abipartisan solution to protectDACA recipients, who have be-come known as "Dreamers."The get-togethers come amid

new signs that there may beroom for compromise on thethorny issue of immigration,which has been vexing lawmak-ers for years. Trump, who wasdeeply disappointed by Republi-cans' failure to pass a healthcare overhaul, has shown a newwillingness to work with De-mocrats in recent weeks, de-spite railing against them as"obstructionist."Last week Trump infuriated

many in his party when hereached a three-month agree-ment with Schumer and Pelosito raise the debt ceiling, keepthe government running andspeed relief to states affected byrecent hurricanes. Both Pelosiand a top White House stafferalso indicated Tuesday thatthey were open to a compromiseon border security to expeditelegislation protecting DACA re-cipients.Trump urged lawmakers

gathered to discuss tax reformnot to forget the immigration is-sue as they dig into the fallagenda."We don't want to forget DA-

CA. And it's already been aweek and a half and peopledon't talk about it as much," hesaid, adding: "We want to see ifwe can do something in a bipar-tisan fashion so that we cansolve the DACA problem andother immigration problems. Sowe'll be discussing that today."

Local youth group donates their entire treasury to the United WaySpecial to The Courier HeraldMember of the Sigma Beta Club, which is the

youth auxiliary group of Phi Beta Sigma Frater-nity, Inc. – Omicron Mu Sigma Chapter, made thecritical decision to live to motto of the fraternity“Culture for service and service for humanity” bydonating all the money they had in their treasuryto the United Way for hurricane relief. Theseyoung men have been doing their part to be goodstewards for their community. They have spenttime picking up trash in and around Stubbs Parkplaced flags on the graves of soldiers buried atDudley Memorial Cemetery and helping themembers of the fraternity with other projects.

They were planning to use their money to vis-it Savannah State University and to purchase aflag pole to erect at Dudley Cemetery in honor ofthe veterans buried there.

Since they were not able to complete some ofthe service projects that were planned during thesummer, including fundraising, they felt that oth-ers were in more need for the funds than them-selves.

Chapter president, Brother LeRoy Griffin Jr.,stated that these are the character traits that weare trying to instill into the young men. We areteaching them to always have a rainy day fund,but said that we will support them with this no-ble gesture.

We are currently mentoring 17 young menages 8 – 18 through the Sigma Beta Club and atleast 20 more boys and girls through other pro-grams

Editorial Roundup...

Our Take

Suicide is a taboo word that both Hope inDarkness and Voices of Hope want to shedmorelight on.During the sameweekend, both organizations

focused on suicide and what it does not only tothe person who commits this act but to the fam-ily, friends and other people in the community.Hope in Darkness held a three-day event

emphasizing suicide and depression. Angela D.Stanley presented statistics showing that morethan 800,000 people die from suicide every year,according to information from theWorld HealthOrganization.That is one person every 40 seconds.The goal for Hope in Darkness' event was the

same as the goal for Voices of Hope's SilentWalk. Both wanted to bring education andawareness to this topic.The Silent Walk, held at Lake Leisure on the

campus of the Carl Vinson VA Medical Center,showed two examples from those who sharedtheir testimonies of how they went through adifficult period of their life and felt hopeless.Thankfully, they received the help they needed.At one time or another, we all go through the

same problems. There are answers for the painand there are ways to get help.We all struggle. We all go through bad days.

Even when it seems like the lights are about togo out, there is someone out there with a flash-light trying to wave you toward hope.Stanley said similar words while welcoming

everyone to the Life Expo."We believe in your darkest hours there is

always hope. We are here to make the conver-sation about depression and suicide available.We have resources to give out and let peopleknow that nothing is impossible with God."Hope is here. Take the time to reach for it.

late on the afternoon of Sept. 9,1937 before Judge Kent, whotemporarily granted an injunc-tion against the 150-200 per-sons from conducting a largeranticipated gathering of ahoard, long condemned as noth-ing more than tramps andthieves.Baldwin further pleaded to

Judge Kent that the gypsieswere endangering themselvesas therewere no proper sanitaryconditions in the copse of trees,near Braddy’s store and mostlikely located on Highway 80 onthe future site of Tanner’sMotel, where the road bendstoward Dublin.In the same breath, Baldwin

argued that the miscreantswere engaged in lewd andembarrassing activities. JudgeKent issued a temporaryrestraining order until a hear-ing on a permanent injunctioncould be held on Sept. 24.Judge J.E. Page reported

that a small band of the gypsieswere reported to be roamingthrough theNewEvergreen dis-trict. Page characterized the vis-itors as “fortune tellers” and“fixers of stoves and just abouteverything,” who were causingquite a commotion among thearea’s residents.On the other hand, East

Dublin merchant and largeproperty owner, J.T. Braddywelcomed the visitors. Braddynoted that because of the storiespublished in The CourierHerald and the rampant rumorsflying through the city, throngsof curiosity seekers had crossedthe bridge and visited his storewhile they were looking to seewhat all the commotion wasabout.B.B. Tanner Jr., explained

that the Indians were a “quietand well behaved” lot. As to thelack of sanitary conditions,Tanner compared his propertyas good as any where sewerswere unavailable.He confirmed Braddy’s

reports of hundreds of local per-sons filling the highway to get aglimpse of the Indians and theircolorful costumes. Many resi-dents visited with the wayfarersto learn more about their ways.The hearing on the perma-

nent injunction to remove thegypsies was scheduled to beheard on Friday morning, Sept.24. Judge Kent announced thatthe plaintiff Aiken had surpris-ingly dismissed his case. Overthe previous two weeks, localsbegan to realize that the gypsieswere not gypsies at all, but pos-sibly descendants of the NativeAmericans who occupied thisarea for thousands of yearsbefore.Turns out that the Indians

were members of the MitchellTribe. The tribe frequently trav-eled around the country onexcursions financed by the rev-enues from their oil lands inOklahoma.Tribal members, now driving

nice automobiles, had been com-ing to Dublin for 43 years whileriding in wagons and uponhorseback.James B. Hicks and local

amateur historian D.T. Cowart,joined the leader of the Indians,Chief Tokoya, for a trip north ofEast Dublin to Hicks’ property,which encompassed Carr’sShoals, an ancient Indian vil-lage located on the point wherethe lower Uchee Indian trailcrossed the Oconee River.As the trio was traveling to

the site, they noticed a local

man stooping over and com-plaining of rheumatism. Thechief chided the man for drink-ing. “He drink too much liquorwhen he was young,” the chiefexclaimed.The 86-year-old chief knew of

what he spoke. “Me straight.Meno drink,” added the chief, whowas remarkably strong and fitfor his age.Upon their arrival at Carr’s

Shoals, the trio surveyed theelevated land, which had beenknown since the 1700s as Carr’sBluff. At the time, the leadinghistorians and archaeologists ofthe day were firm in their beliefthat the location was the pointwhere Spanish explorerHernando de Soto and his armycrossed the Oconee River ontheir route from the future sitesof Hawkinsville andAugusta.Hicks and Cowart pointed

out man-made marks on someof the ancient trees on the bluff.Chief Tokoya confirmed that themarks could be as old as twocenturies. The chief’s assertionscould be true, as the last NativeAmericans in the area hadvacated our area in the early1800s.By following marks on the

trees, Chief Tokoya located atheretofore unknown, bountifulspring, which had gone unno-ticed by Hicks and a farm handlong familiar with the ancientNative American site.And now, just as the cooler

winds of autumn whirl onceagain, the September days ofeight decades ago when NativeAmericans, not the gypsies,returned to visit the lands oftheir forefathers are no longer aforgotten piece of our past.

Letter to the Editor:Who made the decision to

lock down Dublin yesterday?My wife and I went to

town for something to eat lastnight. We were told that theyhad power and could servefood but a curfew was ineffect and they could notserve us.That is a hec� of a way to

take care of the citizens ofLaurens county that do nothave electricity.Also think of the hun-

dreds, if not thousands, ofevacuees that chose Dublinas a place to stay during thehurricane. What were theysupposed to do?While most restaurants

obeyed the ridiculous curfew,other food places stayed open.Maryland Fried Chicken andthe food place across thestreet from East Gas wereopen at 5:30 and still open at8:30 last night to full capaci-ty. Why didn't they have toobey the rules that the otherrestaurants had to obey?

The person making theuncaring decision to close thetown needs to be severelyrepremanded or even fired.Obviously their ability tothink decisions completelythrough is severely limited.

on the need for congres-sional action to replace theDeferred Action onChildhood Arrivals pro-gram:The Trump administra-

tion's announcement that theDeferred Action on ChildhoodArrivals program will berescinded should prompt need-ed congressional action to pro-tect young immigrants whosesole offense was being broughthere by their parents.Giving the Congress six

months to act before DACApermits begin to expire,President Trump issued astatement criticizing PresidentObama for "making an end-run around Congress and vio-lating the core tenets that sus-tain our Republic" by creatingthe program."There can be no path to

principled immigration reformif the executive branch is ableto rewrite or nullify federal

laws at will," he said.While the details of any pos-

sible future immigrationreform effort remain to behammered out, it is imperativethat DACArecipients are final-ly given the sort of permanentprotections that can only beachieved through the legisla-tive process.Approximately 800,000

young immigrants, mostly intheir 20s, are currently pro-tected by DACA, with manymore potentially eligible. Thisincludes 222,795 Californianswho have received DACA pro-tections. Far from an open-bor-ders policy, the DACAprogramresponsibly limited eligibilityto undocumented immigrantswho entered the country beforetheir 16th birthday, arrivedhere prior to June 2007 andhave lived here ever since.Eligible applicants must

either be in school, have grad-uated from high school or havebeen honorably dischargedfrom the U.S. military. Under

the program, young immi-grants are eligible to havedeportations deferred and maylegally work in the UnitedStates, with renewals requiredevery two years. For all intentsand purposes, these immi-grants are as American asnative-born Americans, withmany having no memory of orany meaningful connection tothe country in which they wereborn. To punish young peoplefor having been brought to theUnited States as children bytheir parents, beyond theircontrol, would be an uncon-scionable disregard of peoplewho have done nothing wrong.Clearly, the DACAprogram,

which only provided tempo-rary protections by way of aneasily discarded, legally shakyexecutive action, was not aviable long-term solution.With President Trump's

decision to allow Congress sixmonths in which to act,Congress must not allow thefuture of potentially over one

million young immigrants tobe thrown into turmoil duesimply to political inertia.Fortunately, bipartisan

legislation has already beenintroduced, including theDREAM Act of 2017 (S.1615),sponsored by RepublicanSens. Lindsey Graham ofSouth Carolina, Jeff Flake ofArizona and Lisa Murkowskiof Alaska, and Democratsincluding California Sens.Dianne Feinstein andKamala Harris. The proposalwould provide a path to citi-zenship for young, law-abid-ing undocumented immi-grants.It is vital that Congress

not perpetuate needless con-fusion and harm by allowingour currently dysfunctionalimmigration laws to become aweapon against young immi-grants. The Congress mustact quickly to bring certaintyand dignity to the Dreamersand allow them to live as theAmericans they already are.

Dr. Jack Key, you get anAmen on all of your publica-tions.

The problem in thisworld today is it has got-ten too casual. People do notdress up for funeral, weddingsor church. It has gotten toomuch out of hand. Peopleneed to dress up and show re-spect.

It is a time for all Amer-icans to come together. Wehave fought against each oth-er far too long. We need tostraighten ourselves up andpull together instead of

pulling apart. We all need toget on our knees before we getanother storm like this. Wehave a mighty, mighty God.

Thank God for such car-ing neighbors. They broughtbreakfast to us during thepower outage.

For those who wear ten-

nis shoes, blue jeans andshorts to church means youare showing lack of respect toyour church. It's not a picnic.It's a church.

Stop looking for thesigns and start listening forthe sound. The trumpet isabout to blow and Jesus iscoming.

Sanders bill expands Medicare for all, lacks details on costWASHINGTON (AP) —

Americans would get healthcoverage simply by showing anew government-issued cardand would no longer owe out-of-pocket expenses like de-ductibles, according to legisla-tion Sen. Bernie Sanders re-leased Wednesday charting astem-to-stern reshaping of thecountry's health care system.

But the Vermont indepen-dent's description of his mea-sure omitted specifics abouthow much it would cost and fi-nal decisions about how hewould pay for it.

Sanders was releasing hisbill the same day Republicansenators were rolling out de-tails of a last-ditch effort to re-peal and replace PresidentBarack Obama's health carelaw.

In an interview, Sanderssaid Tuesday his measurewould likely be paid for in a"progressive way." Aides said itwould likely be financed by in-come-adjusted premiums peo-ple would pay the government,ranging from no premiums forthe poorest Americans to highlevies on the rich and corpora-tions. The measure has nochance of becoming law withPresident Donald Trump inthe White House and Republi-cans controlling Congress.

But it embodies a push touniversal coverage that eludedObama's 2010 law and is atenet of the Democratic Party'sliberal, activist base.

"I think in a democracy, weshould be doing what theAmerican people want,"Sanders said, citing polls

showing growing support forthe concept.

He released his bill hoursafter the Census Bureau saidthe proportion of uninsuredAmericans fell to 8.8 percentlast year, the lowest figure onrecord. Sanders calls his billMedicare for All, and it wouldexpand the health insuranceprogram for the elderly to cov-er all Americans. It would bephased in over four years, andpeople and businesses wouldno longer owe premiums to in-surers. The measure wouldmake health care less expen-sive and less complicated formany people and businesses.

It would cover the 28 mil-lion Americans remaininguninsured despite Obama'slaw.

Yet some Democrats fear

Sanders is exposing them to alose-lose choice.

Don't support Sanders' planand Democrats risk alienatingthe party's liberal, activist vot-ers, volunteers and contribu-tors.

Back it and they'll be ac-cused by Republicans of back-ing a huge tax increase andgovernment-run health care,and taking away employer-provided coverage for half thecountry that many people like.

At least 12 other Senate De-mocrats signed onto Sanders'bill by late Tuesday, includingfour potential 2020 presiden-tial contenders besidesSanders: Kamala Harris ofCalifornia, Massachusetts'Elizabeth Warren, New York'sKirsten Gillibrand and CoryBooker of New Jersey.

To cover themselves, sever-al Democrats are introducingtheir own bills that expandcoverage without going as faras Sanders, including possiblepresidential aspirants Sens.

Chris Murphy of Connecti-cut and Ohio's Sherrod Brown.Several Democrats facingtough re-elections next year inGOP-leaning states say theywant to focus on strengtheningObama's existing law, includ-ing Montana's Jon Tester andMissouri's Claire McCaskill.

"We welcome the Democrat-s' strategy of moving even fur-ther left," said Katie Martin,spokeswoman for the SenateGOP's campaign organization.

Seven weeks after the GOPdrive to uproot Obama's 2010health care law crashed in theSenate, two Republican sena-tors, Lindsey Graham of SouthCarolina and Louisiana's BillCassidy, were releasing theirplan for trying again.

They've struggled for weeksto round up sufficient supportfor the package. It would cutand reshape Medicaid, dis-perse money spent under Oba-ma's law directly to states anderase Obama's penalties onpeople who don't purchase cov-erage.

No. 3 Senate GOP leaderJohn Thune of South Dakotasaid Graham and Cassidywould need "a double-doublebank shot" to prevail, a jokingreference to an impossible bas-ketball shot.

Like the failed Senate GOPrepeal effort in July, the Gra-ham-Cassidy push will get ze-ro Democratic support. 1405 W. Moore St., Dublin • 478-353-8360

HOLLYWOOD, Fla. (AP) —Six patients at a swelteringnursing home died in Hurri-cane Irma's aftermath, raisingfears Wednesday about thesafety of Florida's 4 million se-nior citizens amid widespreadpower outages that could go onfor days.Hollywood Police Chief Tom

Sanchez said investigators be-lieve the deaths at the Reha-bilitation Center at HollywoodHills were heat-related, andadded: "The building has beensealed off and we are conduct-ing a criminal investigation."He did not elaborate.

He said investigators have notruled anything out, includingcarbon monoxide poisoningfrom generators. The chief alsosaid investigators will look in-to how many windows wereopen in the nursing home,where the air conditioningwasn't working."It's a sad state of affairs,"

Sanchez said. "We all have el-derly people in facilities, andwe all know we depend onthose people in those facilitiesto care for a vulnerable elderlypopulation."Gov. Rick Scott called on

Florida emergency workers toimmediately check on nursinghomes and assisted living fa-cilities to make sure the pa-tients are safe. And he orderedan investigation into what hecalled an "unfathomable" situ-ation."I am demanding answers,"

he tweeted.The deaths came as people

trying to put their lives backtogether in hurricane-strickenFlorida and beyond confronteda multitude of new hazards inthe storm's wake, includingtree-clearing accidents andlethal fumes from generators.Not counting the nursing

home deaths, at least 13 peo-ple in Florida have died underIrma-related circumstances,and six more in South Caroli-na and Georgia, many of themwell after the storm hadpassed.At least five people died and

more than a dozen were treat-ed after breathing carbonmonoxide fumes from genera-tors in the Orlando, Miamiand Daytona Beach areas. ATampa man died after thechain saw he was using to re-move trees kicked back andcut his carotid artery.In Hollywood, three pa-

tients were found dead at thenursing home early Wednes-day after police got a call abouta person with a heart attack,and three more died at thehospital or on the way, policesaid.Altogether, more than 100

patients there were found tobe suffering in the heat andwere evacuated, many on

stretchers or in wheelchairs.Patients were treated for de-hydration, breathing difficul-ties and other heat-related ills,authorities said.The air conditioning was

out, but Sanchez said it re-mained under investigationwhether power was entirelycut. He didn't answer ques-tions regarding whether a gen-erator was running inside theplace.Across the street from the

nursing home sat a fully air-conditioned hospital, Memori-al Regional.Nursing homes in Florida

are required by state and fed-eral law to file an emergencyplan that includes evacuationplans for residents. Any plansubmitted by the Hollywoodcenter was not immediatelyavailable.Calls to the owner and oth-

er officials at the home werenot immediately returned. Thefacility was bought at a bank-ruptcy auction two years agoafter its previous owner whento prison for Medicare fraud,according to news reports atthe time of the sale.The Centers for Medicare

and Medicaid Services, whichregulates nursing homes,gives the Hollywood center abelow-average rating, twostars on its five-star scale. Butthe most recent state inspec-tion reports showed no defi-ciencies in the area of emer-gency plans.Florida, long one of Ameri-

ca's top retirement destina-tions, has the highest propor-tion of people 65 and older ofany state — 1 in 5 of its 20 mil-

lion residents. As of 2016,Florida had about 680 nursinghomes.As of Tuesday, the number

of people without electricity inthe steamy late-summer heathad dropped to 9.5 million —just under half of Florida'spopulation. Utility officialswarned it could take 10 daysor more for power to be fullyrestored. About 110,000 peopleremained in shelters acrossthe state.Elsewhere around the

state, a Coral Gables apart-ment building was evacuatedafter authorities determined alack of power made it unsafefor elderly tenants.And at the huge, 15,000-

resident Century Village re-tirement community in Pem-broke Pines, more than halfthe residential buildings hadno power Wednesday after-noon. Rescue crews began go-ing door to door in the 94-de-gree heat to check on peopleand hand out water, ice andmeals."These people are basically

prisoners in their own homes,"said Pembroke Pines CityManager Charlie Dodge."That's why we are campedout there and doing whateverwe can to assist them in thisprocess. And we're not leav-ing."Florida Sen. Bill Nelson

called the six deaths in Holly-wood "an inexcusable tragedy"and called on authorities to getto the bottom of it."We need to make sure

we're doing everything we canto keep our seniors safe duringthis difficult time," he said.

In the battered FloridaKeys, meanwhile, county offi-cials pushed back against apreliminary estimate from theFederal Emergency Manage-ment Agency that 25 percentof all homes in the Keys weredestroyed and nearly all the

rest were heavily damaged."Things look real damaged

from the air, but when youclear the trees and all the de-bris, it's not much damage tothe houses," said MonroeCounty CommissionerHeather Carruthers.

The Keys felt Irma's fullfury when the hurricaneroared in on Sunday with 130mph (209 kph) winds. But theextent of the damage has beenan unanswered question fordays because some places havebeen unreachable.

storm blew through we had

about 15,000 people withoutpower and we’re down toabout 2,400 right now,” shesaid.As far as people’s feelings

about outage, Vaughn said,“I would say in general theyare understanding that weare working as quickly as wecan to restore power. No-body’s loving it, but theyhave been very understand-ing and we’re being floodedwith kind comments andprayers for our crews. Wehad contract crews, as we re-

three crews from out of statecome in,” Vaughn said.“They arrived this morningand they’re already out inthe field working. And we’vegot three more additionalcrews that will be here to-morrow. The question mightbe asked, why didn’t we havethis many people ahead of

time? Contract crews are re-ally hard to get right now be-cause the majority are inTexas or have been in Texas,of course, from HurricaneHarvey and then Floridagrabbed the rest of the crewsthat were available becausethey knew way before Geor-gia did that they were goingto be devastated by Irma."So everybody in Georgia

had a really hard time get-ting contract crews. Andusually we help each other.Like if Altamaha has an out-

the crews working withthem now is from westernFlorida and the other crew isfrom Kentucky.

While she said she did notknow the statewide total, “asof this morning at 5 a.m. thisis just EMC customers, itdoes not include GeorgiaPower, it was just a littleover 200,000 EMC cus-tomers in the state and thatwas from a peak of 550,000EMC customers right afterthe storm.”Sandy Smith a customer

WASHINGTON (AP) —Two days after helping theWashington Nationals clinch,the Atlanta Braves kept theNL East champions from tak-ing another step toward home-field advantage throughoutthe postseason.Freddie Freeman hit a

three-run home run off GioGonzalez and Julio Teheranthrew seven shutout inningsas the Braves beat theNationals 8-0 on Tuesdaynight. Gonzalez (14-7) allowedfive earned runs on seven hitsin five innings and struck outeight but guaranteed his $12million option for next seasonwith his first out of the gameas he reached 180 innings thisseason."Today might have been a

little hangover for them, win-ning the division a couple ofdays ago," Freeman said. "Ithink they'll get back on thehorse and give us a toughernext two days."Gonzalez and manager

Dusty Baker didn't want tocall it a post-clinching letdownbecause it would take creditaway from Atlanta, whichcame back to beat the MiamiMarlins on Sunday to give theNationals the division title ."They didn't come in here

to celebrate with us," saidGonzalez, who wasn't feelingwell at the beginning of thegame. "They came in here todo their job. As far as that,they were swinging the bat,they were patient when they

needed to be, and they wereswinging when they needed tobe."The Nationals lost for just

the second time in eightgames and were unable to fur-ther close the gap on the LosAngeles Dodgers for the bestrecord in baseball and home-field advantage in October."The playoffs are big on

focusing on the small things,"catcher Matt Wieters said."We can shore up some thingsthat we can help to wheremaybe we can scratch a coupleruns across that will betougher to come by whenOctober's around."Freeman was 3 for 5 and

had a double to go along withhis home run to center. OzzieAlbies went 3 for 5 with ahome run, extending his hit-ting streak to 10 games.Teheran (11-11) allowed

seven hits, struck out five andwalked two."Julio's been pretty good

here the last few times,"Atlanta manager BrianSnitker said. "He's got a lot ofsupport. Been really good,really efficient. Stuff's beenreally good. He's reachingback and getting a little extrawhen he needs to."

'STEP UP' HARPERBaker said the Nationals

hope to "step up" BryceHarper's baseball activitieswith the hope of getting himback for the postseason.Harper has been out since

mid-August with a significantbone bruise in his left kneeand has no timeline to return."What's next is hopefully

have him start hitting and seehow his legs feel because run-ning and sliding and cuttingand dodging's going to be thething," Baker said. "He's pro-gressing. I got my trainers (to)let me know when he's reallyprogressing because you don'twant to force him to progressbecause that leads to regres-sion."

TEHERAN DOES ITAGAINBy picking off Trea Turner

at first base in the thirdinning, Teheran added to his

already impressive resume inthat department. Teheran haspicked off a major league-best26 runners since 2013, wellahead of R.A. Dickey with 14.

TRAINER'S ROOMBraves: OF Matt Adams

was out of the lineup afterright hamstring tightnessforced him out of a gameSunday. Snitker said Adamsdescribed the injury as acramping feeling and wantedto give him another daybecause there's still tightnesswhen hitting.Nationals: OF Jayson

Werth (sore left shoulder) gotthe game off. Baker considersWerth day-to-day.

Montgomery Co. 42,Wheeler Co. 21Recap: The Eagles out-

gunned Wheeler County byclose to 170 yards in a well-attended and high-scoringhomecoming contest in MountVernon that saw them scoretwo fourth quarter touch-downs to pull away. Montgomery County accu-

mulated 485 yards in the win,a vast majority of that totalcoming from the combinedefforts of quarterback KrisDaniels and running backClayton Harvey, who botheclipsed 200 yards of produc-tion. Harvey covered 249 yards

of ground and scored fourtouchdowns on 21 carries forthe Eagles, with Daniels toss-ing for two touchdowns — oneto Matthew Seward and theother to Da’quan Jackson. Wheeler County, which

trailed 27-7 at halftime,stayed in the game thanks tothree turnovers — two of themfumbles and the third awould-be touchdown pass thatwas athletically picked off byWheeler County’s TorrenceParker. Parker was his usual self

on the defensive side of theball, but was held offensivelyto an uncharacteristic 42yards rushing on 17 carries.He completed just one pass of29 yards, which went for atouchdown to Kalieb Risper. The Bulldogs brought the

game back within a singlescore on a pair of unansweredtouchdowns in the third quar-ter, both by Brandon Mackey.But that would be it for theBulldogs, who gave up twomore touchdowns in thefourth quarter. The early-season region

matchup was a high-stakesone for both teams. The win, a second-straight

overall for the Eagles (2-0, 1-0region), provides a boost forthem in the GHSA power rat-ings, which has them current-ly tied for 16th among Class Apublic schools. The loss is asecond straight for WheelerCounty (2-2, 0-2 region),

NEW YORK (AP) — Afterthe opening week of the NFLseason, it's so easy to overreact,given such a small sample.That's not an issue for the

Green Bay Packers. Theystarted the season last week atNo. 2 in the first AP Pro32 polland opened with a 17-9 winover the Seattle Seahawks.And after defending cham-

pion New England was routedin its opener, the Packers tookadvantage.Green Bay grabbed the top

spot in the latest AP Pro32 poll,which was released onTuesday, receiving seven of 12first-place votes for 376 pointsin balloting by media memberswho regularly cover the NFL."The Packers take the top

spot because in Week 1, theylooked like they finally havethe championship-leveldefense to match their QB,"said Jenny Vrentas of TheMonday Morning Quarterback."A big test will be to see if theycan keep it up this weekagainst Atlanta."In all, six teams received a

first-place vote.The Kansas City Chiefs

earned one of those first-placevotes to reach 367 points,jumping five places to No. 2 inthe poll after opening the sea-son with a 42-27 win againstthe Patriots."That's the best game of

Alex Smith's career, as the vet-eran quarterback shuts downany thoughts of anointing rook-ie Patrick Mahomes as theChiefs' starter," Newsday's BobGlauber said. "Smith obliterat-ed Bill Belichick's defense andmade it clear Kansas City willbe a major player in the AFC."

Coach Andy Reid and theChiefs will host Philadelphiaon Sunday. Reid coached theEagles for 14 seasons andreached the playoffs ninetimes.The Dallas Cowboys also

earned a first-place vote andfinished with 331 points, mov-ing up five places to No. 3 aftera 19-3 win over the rival NewYork Giants.The Patriots fell from No. 1

to No. 4 and will look torebound in New Orleans onSunday against Drew Breesand the Saints."The soft Saints face a hard

truth — they are catching anenraged Tom Brady on therebound," Ira Kaufman of SBNation Radio said.New England also received

a first-place vote and trailsDallas by only two points.The Atlanta Falcons stayed

at No. 5 and will open theirnew $1.5 billion Mercedes-Benz Stadium when they hostthe Packers on Sunday night ina rematch of the NFC champi-onship game.The Oakland Raiders and

Pittsburgh Steelers were tiedat No. 6. Both received a first-place vote and have 327 points,trailing Atlanta by one.Seattle, which lost to the

Packers at Lambeau Field onSunday, dropped five spots toNo. 8.The Vikings moved up six

spots to No. 9 after openingwith a win against the Saints.Minnesota faces a test thisweek when it goes on the roadto take on the Steelers.The Carolina Panthers

gained three spots to round outthe top 10.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) —Tony Stewart called DanicaPatrick "fearless" onWednesday, his first commentsabout her upcoming departurefrom his race team in a finan-cial move that could end herfull-time driving career inNASCAR.Patrick will not return to

Stewart-Haas Racing nextseason. Unless she can securesignificant sponsorship, shelikely won't be able to findanother full-time ride.Patrick is the only woman

racing at NASCAR's top leveland she's also the most accom-plished."I've always been a believer

in Danica's ability as a racecardriver and that continues to bethe case. She's one of the mostfearless people I've ever met.She has never backed downfrom a challenge," Stewartwrote on his Facebook page."In fact, she's sought out newchallenges throughout hercareer, and that's whatbrought her to NASCAR andStewart-Haas Racing."Patrick has driven for

Stewart-Haas Racing herentire Cup career. She hasseven top-10 finishes in 180career starts and is currently28th in the standings, the low-est in her Cup career. She wonthe pole for the 2013 Daytona500, won an IndyCar race in2008, is the highest finishingfemale driver in Indianapolis

500 history with a third-placerun in 2009 and is the onlywoman to lead laps in both theIndy 500 and the Daytona 500.Patrick is the only woman towin a Cup pole and those top-10 finishes are the most of anyfemale Cup driver."Making the jump from

IndyCar to NASCAR is noteasy, yet she had the courageto do so and put up betternumbers than a lot of otherdrivers who have tried to makethat same transition," Stewartwrote. "My support for Danicais unwavering. We're going toend this season strong andmake the most of these last 10races."Patrick's sponsorship pack-

age fell apart at the start of

this season when Nature'sBakery backed out of a three-year deal after just one season.Patrick's contract with SHRran through 2018, but theteam has been searching forsponsorship since the Nature'sBakery fiasco.Smithfield Foods on

Tuesday said it was moving itssponsorship from RichardPetty Motorsports to Stewart-Haas next season, and thefinancial decision set in motionPatrick's departure. RicardPetty and the Smithfield CEOtraded insults over lack of per-formance at RPM being thereason Smithfield is leaving.Kevin Harvick noted

Wednesday that Patrick's per-formance likely played into

her current predicament. Thetwo are teammates at SHRand Harvick has tried to helpPatrick over the years. LikeStewart, he pointed to the dif-ficult transition Patrick had tomake from Indy cars to stockcars."Danica has been a huge

part of this sport and turned alot of people into racing thatmight not have ever turnedinto racing," Harvick said. "Ihope that Danica gets a spon-sor because she's important toour sport."SHR and Smithfield have

not said which driver the com-pany will sponsor next year.The team does not have a dealyet with current Daytona 500winner Kurt Busch, andBusch, Patrick and ClintBowyer have all had sponsor-ship difficulties this season.Smithfield could end up on thecar Patrick has driven withanother driver, or the teamcould downsize.Matt Kenseth, meanwhile,

said he's not a candidate toreplace Patrick and hebelieves SHR already has adriver in line for the No. 10Ford.Patrick has launched a

clothing line, has a book com-ing out next year and hasmade a transition into promot-ing a healthy and fit lifestyle.It has her positioned for a sec-ond career at the age of 35 ifshe chooses.

Lawsuit settled over rightsto monkey's selfie photoSAN FRANCISCO (AP)

— Attorneys announced asettlement Monday in alawsuit over who owns thecopyright to selfiephotographs taken by amonkey before a federalappeals court could answerthe novel legal question.Under the deal, the

photographer whose camerawas used to take the photosagreed to donate 25 percentof any future revenue fromthe images to charitiesdedicated to protectingcrested macaques inIndonesia, lawyers for ananimal-rights group said.Attorneys for the group

and the photographer, DavidSlater, asked the SanFrancisco-based 9th U.S.Circuit Court of Appeals todismiss the case and throwout a lower court decisionthat said animals cannotown copyrights.Andrew J. Dhuey, an

attorney for Slater, declinedto comment on how much

money the photos havegenerated or whether Slaterwould keep all of theremaining 75 percent offuture revenue.There was no immediate

ruling from the 9th Circuit.The People for the EthicalTreatment of Animals suedon behalf of the macaquemonkey in 2015, seekingfinancial control of thephotographs for the benefitof the monkey namedNaruto that snapped thephotos with Slater's camera."PETA and David Slater

agree that this case raisesimportant, cutting-edgeissues about expanding legalrights for non-humananimals, a goal that theyboth support, and they willcontinue their respectivework to achieve this goal,"Slater and PETA said in ajoint statement.Lawyers for Slater

argued that his company,Wildlife Personalities Ltd.,owns worldwide commercial

rights to the photos,including a now-famousselfie of the monkey's toothygrin.The photos were taken

during a 2011 trip toSulawesi, Indonesia, withan unattended cameraowned by Slater.U.S. District Judge

William Orrick said in aruling in favor of Slater lastyear that "while Congressand the president canextend the protection of lawto animals as well ashumans, there is noindication that they did soin the Copyright Act." The9th Circuit was consideringPETA's appeal.The lawyers notified the

(AP) — With Myanmardrawing condemnation forviolence that has driven atleast 370,000 Rohingya to fleethe country, the governmentsaid Wednesday its leader,Aung San Suu Kyi, will skipthis month's U.N. GeneralAssembly.Suu Kyi will miss the

assembly, which openedTuesday and runs throughSept. 25, in order to addressdomestic security issues,according to presidential officespokesman Zaw Htay.Her appearance at last

year's General Assembly was alandmark: her first since herparty won elections in 2015 andreplaced a military-dominatedgovernment. Even then,however, she faced criticismover Myanmar's treatment ofRohingya, whose name she didnot utter. Members of theethnic group are commonlyreferred to as "Bengalis" bymany in Myanmar who insistthey migrated illegally fromBangladesh.Suu Kyi is not Myanmar's

president — her official titlesare state counselor and foreignminister — but she effectivelyserves as leader of theSoutheast Asian nation.Zaw Htay said that, withPresident Htin Kyawhospitalized, second VicePresident Henry Van Tio wouldattend the U.N. meeting."The first reason (Suu Kyi

cannot attend) is because of theRakhine terrorist attacks," ZawHtay said. "The state counseloris focusing to calm the situationin Rakhine state. There arecircumstances. The secondreason is, there are peopleinciting riots in some areas. Weare trying to take care of thesecurity issue in many otherplaces. The third is that we arehearing that there will beterrorist attacks and we aretrying to address this issue."The crisis erupted on Aug.

25, when an insurgentRohingya group attacked police

outposts in Myanmar'sRakhine state. That promptedMyanmar's military to launch"clearance operations" againstthe rebels, setting off a wave ofviolence that have lefthundreds dead and thousandsof homes burned — mostlyRohingya in both cases.The government blames

Rohingya for the attacks, butjournalists who visited theregion found evidence thatraises doubts about its claimsthat Rohingya set fire to theirown homes.Many of the Rohingya who

flooded into refugee camps inBangladesh told of Myanmarsoldiers shootingindiscriminately, burning theirhomes and warning them toleave or die. Others said theywere attacked by Buddhistmobs.Suu Kyi, a Nobel Peace

Prize laureate who lived underhouse arrest for many yearsunder a military junta thatultimately gave way to anelected government, has faced atorrent of internationalcriticism and pressure since thecrisis erupted.On Tuesday, Iran's Supreme

Leader Ayatollah Ali Khameneicalled the killing of Muslims apolitical disaster and calledSuu Kyi a "brutal woman."U.N. human rights chief ZeidRa'ad al-Hussein said theRohingya were victims of what"seems a textbook example ofethnic cleansing."Bangladesh has been

overwhelmed with the massiveinflux of Rohingya, many ofwhom arrived hungry andtraumatized after walking fordays through jungles or beingpacked into rickety woodenboats.
