When it comes to experts on murder, Kim Davies, PhD, dean of Pamplin College of Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences is the right person to talk with. Davies has written a couple of books on the subject and is a sociologically trained criminologist with an academic focus on homicide and violence.

On the lighter side, unless you’ve been in her office in Allgood Hall, or paid close attention to the name plate on the @LEGO display in the Jaguar Student Activities Center, you likely aren’t aware she is a big fan of Lego and has plenty of sets to prove it.

Interestingly she didn’t grow up with them; and instead it’s a hobby she picked up in the last decade or so.

As local residents and visitors to Augusta casually stroll along Broad Street toward the Augusta Common or down Reynolds Street across from the Georgia Cyber Center, they might be surprised to learn that the owner of several of those surrounding properties is 35-year-old Rafy Bassali.

About 10 years ago, Bassali, who is the owner of the local boutiques The Swank Company and Posh Tots along with the outdoor gear store, Escape Outdoors, began buying a number of vacant commercial properties in downtown Augusta.

These days, Bassali, an alumnus of Augusta University’s James M. Hull College of Business MBA program, owns more than 30 properties in Augusta and the surrounding areas.

When it is all said and done, Henrik Norlander is on a short list as one of the top golfers to ever tee it up for Augusta University. A three-time All-American, an All-American scholar and a two-time national champion, his legacy with the Jaguars has been etched into the history books.

Now, a member of the PGA Tour, Norlander’s professional career is in its 12th year. He has two wins on the Korn Ferry Tour, a step below the PGA Tour.

Even after his college playing days with AU, Norlander decided to call the Garden City home and still lives here with his wife, and two small children. They recently they welcomed their second child into the family which keeps him grounded and forces him to take down time away from the golf course.
