Lilburn officers praised for saving baby born during course of car crash By Curt Yeomans curt.yeomans@ gwinnettdailypost.com

As entrances to the world go, one baby born in Lilburn this past week certainly had a memorable one that’s drawing praise for some of the city’s police officers. Lilburn police said a woman was taking her pregnant daughter, who was in labor, to the hospital on Monday when the vehicle they were in was involved in an accident on Lawrenceville Highway. Daily Post news partner FOX 5 Atlanta identified the driver as Krystal Jones and the pregnant woman as Crystan Graham. The accident was described by the news station as happening at the entrance to the BAPS Hindu Temple. “A vehicle had hit a power

Gwinnett police ID double homicide victims shot at home By Curt Yeomans curt.yeomans@ gwinnettdailypost.com

Gwinnett County police have released the names of two men who were shot and killed at a home in unincorporated Lawrenceville Thursday night. Police said a call came in shortly after 8 p.m. Cpl. Michele Pihera confirmed that two Asian males were found shot to death in the lower level of the home located at 1850 Racquet Club Circle. The victims were identified as Lawrenceville resident Julian Talbo, 20, and Grayson resident An Ha, 23, on Friday. Pihera said investigators

are attempting to seek any additional information about the suspect or suspects from anyone associated with the victims or the residence. Suspects have not yet been named, and police have not released information on a possible motive. “The person who made the 911 call has just returned to the home after stepping out temporarily,” Pihera said. “The caller is a friend of at least of the victims.” At this point, the investigation is in its preliminary stages and detectives are trying to determine a motive for the shooting.

Cepeda Huff Cepeda Huff came across the accident and found two adults and one child outside the car. FOX 5 said Sgt. Matt Matt Madden arMadden rived about a minute after Bride and Huff. The baby, however? It couldn’t be found after the crash. “We thought the baby might have gone out the window because there was so much debris in the back,” Bride told FOX 5. “Our concern was whether the baby got tossed into the backseat or got tossed through the window.” Bride and Huff searched the wrecked car and found the baby girl alive under one of the vehicle’s back seats. Huff then removed her from the vehicle. “There is like a small little drop-off under the seat,” Huff told FOX 5. “And that’s where the baby laid right into a little pocket. And that’s where I found her.” The officers handed the baby off to to EMS personnel who had responded to the accident. The EMS workers, in turn, rushed the newborn to Northside Hospital-Gwinnett, where police said it is in stable condition in a neonatal ICU unit. “I’m very proud of our officers,” Lilburn Police Chief Bruce Hedley said in a statement to the Daily Post. “Their quick thinking and teamwork helped save the life of this newborn.”

Hundreds of Rohingya refugees rescued after 2 months at sea Nearly 400 Rohingya refugees who left Bangladesh by boat nearly two months ago have been rescued at sea, the Bangladesh Coast Guard has said, while confirming that at least 32 people died on the journey. The group, consisting mostly of women and children, set out in the Bay of Bengal on a large fishing trawler in mid-February, Bangladesh Coast Guard spokesman Hamidul Islam told CNN. They tried to reach Malaysia but were turned back, he said. The rescue took place on Wednesday or Thursday. At least 32 people died and their bodies were thrown into the sea, Islam said, citing statements from the rescued refugees. “The deaths were due to several causes. Some died due to lack of food while some due to various illnesses,” he said. As the boat reached the Malaysian coast, it was turned back by the country’s authorities, Islam said. The overcrowded trawler then traveled to Myanmar and tried to enter twice but was denied entry by the Myanmar navy, according to Islam.

White House and Democrats negotiate funding for hospitals By Manu Raju and Lauren Fox CNN

The White House and congressional Democrats are discussing adding tens of billions of dollars for hospitals as part of a small business package stalled in Congress, a source involved in the talks told CNN on Saturday. An agreement on hospital funding could make it easier for the two sides to reach a deal as Capitol Hill remains at an impasse over $250 billion in additional money for the small business program and Democratic demands to extend funding to other entities affected by the crisis. One area of discussion, according to the source, is adding $75 billion for hospitals. Democrats made their latest offer Friday night to Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin over the stalled small business package, an offer that included $150 billion for cash-strapped state and local governments as well as money for hospitals and more expansive testing. But the White House and Republican leaders are rejecting the demand for money to Strong earthquake state and local governments, rattles Japanese which is emerging as a key sticking point, arguing those islands entities are yet to receive all A strong earthquake shook the funding in the stimulus the Ogasawara Islands south of mainland Japan Saturday.

President Donald Trump on Friday lashed out at Democratic governors in battleground states through three rapid-fire Tweets: “Liberate Michigan!” “Liberate Minnesota!” “Liberate Virginia!” law enacted last month. “For this package, we will never say yes to that demand,” said a source involved in the talks. Republicans are hopeful they could see a deal by Monday, one Republican close to the negotiations told CNN, but there is a caveat: It only takes one member of either chamber to object to stop any deal from going forward. Even if congressional leadership and the Trump administration are able to reach a deal, they must be able to sell

it to the entire Senate and House in a matter of days and make sure no one objects to it during quick “pro forma sessions” where no legislative business is conducted. The next Senate pro forma session is set for Monday at 2 p.m. “Can they process it Monday? I think most people will be for it,” one person familiar with the negotiation told CNN, “but the question is will the Senate be able to get” unanimous consent to do this if a deal is reached.

Contamination in manufacturing the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention test for the coronavirus caused weeks of delays that slowed the U.S. response to the pandemic, multiple health officials have told CNN, a problem that stemmed in part from the CDC not adhering to its own protocols, according to a U.S. Food and Drug Administration spokesperson. determined contamination was most likely occurring during the manufacturing process and that the CDC had appeared to have violated its own manufacturing protocols. Within days — by Feb. 27 — the FDA and the CDC worked together to remanufacture the CDC test with the help of IDT, an outside manufacturer, according to administration officials. The remanufactured tests functioned correctly and were shipped to public health labs.

Federal judge blocks Tennessee governor, allows abortions A federal judge on Friday temporarily blocked a statewide order prohibiting procedural abortions in Tennessee during the coronavirus pandemic. “Abortion is a time-sensitive procedure. Delaying a woman’s access to abortion even by a matter of days can result in her having to undergo a lengthier and more complex procedure that involves progressively greater

health risks, or can result in her losing the right to obtain an abortion altogether,” US District Judge Bernard Friedman wrote in an opinion issued Friday evening. Friedman’s ruling, a win for abortion rights advocates, essentially allows procedural abortions to continue in the state. Following the judge’s decision, defendants Tennessee Attorney General Herbert Slatery III, Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee and other state officials filed a motion of appeal on Friday.

John Krasinski hosted a virtual senior prom and it was epic Not only did John Krasinski host a virtual senior prom, he was the DJ too. “The Office” star announced on his “Some Good News” YouTube show that he had plans to host an online prom Friday for high school seniors across the nation who have had theirs canceled due to the coronavirus pandemic. Krasinski was joined by celebrity pals like Chance the Rapper, “The Office” costar, Rainn Wilson, Billie Eilish and The Jonas Brothers. Even though all the traditional elements of prom were missing, seniors everywhere managed to participate in a variety of ways. Laura Stow asked her daughter Madison Simoneau to Krasinski’s virtual prom with a homemade sign. Stow said Simoneau didn’t want to initially participate but after a bit of persuasiveness she managed to get her daughter into the prom dress she had reserved for her actual prom, which was slated for Saturday evening. “It’s not the prom she wanted, Stow told CNN. “But with her being a huge Office fan, this was a good second best.”

Local groups working with LETTUM EAT Gwinnett to provide dinners to families By Curt Yeomans curt.yeomans@gwinnettdailypost.com

Gwinnett County residents who are struggling to have food on their tables during the COVID-19 coronavirus disease outbreak have an option for dinner through an effort involving several organizations. The Gwinnett County NAACP, First Baptist Church Snellville, Guardian Financial Services and Gwinnett County Solicitor General Brian Whiteside have teamed up with LETTUM EAT to distribute food to families in need Mondays through Fridays. The concept is intended to help families who are experiencing food insecurity and who rely on services such as meals provided to children at schools to cover some of their family’s nutritional needs. “The goal is to provide at least 2,500 meals each week,” organizers said in an announcement. “Since (Gwinnett County Public Schools) has been providing breakfast and lunches for families, LETTUM EAT! Gwinnett is focusing on dinners.” The distributions take place at different sites on each weekday, targeting families across the county. Mobile food

trucks will be set up at each location to distribute the prepared meals. The food will be distributed from 4:30 until 6:30 p.m. each weekday. “We are engaging a large network of resources involving experienced chefs and restaurant professionals and partnering with local churches with under used professional kitchens and restaurants and grocery stores with daily food surpluses,” organizers said. Food pick-up will take place at First Baptist Church Snellville, 2400 Main St. in Snellville, on Mondays; Mt. Carmel Missionary Baptist Church, 3458 Church St. in Duluth, on Tuesdays; Christ the King Dacula, 258 Rabbit Hill Road in Dacula, on Wednesdays; Lawrenceville Cooperative Ministries Inc., 52 Gwinnett Drive in Lawrenceville, on Thursdays; and The Nett Church, 5320 Jimmy Carter Blvd. in Norcross, on Fridays. The effort is intended to last as long as donations flow in to support it. Organizers said a donation of $10 can pay for enough food to feed five people. Information about donating to the LETTUM EAT Gwinnett effort can be found at lettumeat.com/lettum-eat-gwinnett.

ATLANTA — Small businesses in Georgia and across the country were left in limbo Thursday when the U.S. Senate adjourned without approving a new round of economic stimulus funding to help offset losses from the coronavirus pandemic. Almost $350 billion in Small Business Administration (SBA) loans Congress passed last month as part of a $2.2 trillion package has run out, as has a $10 billion SBA program meant to get fast cash to affected businesses. The SBA has approved loans to more than 30,000 Georgia businesses worth more than $7 billion, Chris Clark, president and CEO of the Georgia Chamber of Commerce, said Thursday.

But many other companies have been left high and dry, Clark said. “If you’re already in the system, you’ve got a spot in line,” he said. “But if you haven’t applied yet, you can’t.” Clark said the SBA’s Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) has Chris Clark been hampered not only by a shortage of funds. During the program’s first week, some types of small businesses – including sole proprietorships – could not apply for loans because the rules governing those businesses were not in place. Clark said Georgia farmers got lumped into that business category and couldn’t get relief. “By the time the rules got

promulgated, the funds were gone,” he said. While President Donald Trump and congressional leaders have pledged to pour more money into the PPP, the funding is being delayed by partisan politics. Republicans are pushing for a $250 billion stand-alone package aimed only at small business, while Democrats want to double the package to include more money to help state governments and hospitals. Clark said the final outcome likely will be determined by the White House and majority Democrats in the House of Representatives, which was also the case during the negotiations that led up to last month’s bailout. With Congress set to return on Monday, Clark said business groups will engage in intensive lobbying efforts during the weekend to try to get an agreement.

Duluth man charged with altering records, delaying shipments of medical supplies By Curt Yeomans curt.yeomans@gwinnettdailypost.com

A Duluth man whose job at a medical device packaging company was terminated in early March allegedly caused a delay in the shipping of equipment needed to protect medical providers during the COVID-19 coronavirus disease outbreak by gaining access to his former employer’s computer network and altering records, according to federal officials. The U.S. Department of Justice said Christopher Dobbins, 40, has been charged with computer intrusion. He had administrator access to his employer’s computer system before he was terminated. He allegedly had a fake account that he had created, before he was terminated, which was used to access the network. “This defendant allegedly disrupted the delivery of personal protective equipment in the middle of a global pandemic,” said U.S. Attorney Byung J. “BJay” Pak. “Scarce medical supplies should go to the health care workers and hospitals that need them during the pandemic. The Department of Justice is dedicated to moving quickly on

cases like this to bring criminal opportunists to justice and protect the public during these challenging times.” Federal officials said that Dobbins, after using the existing fake user account that he already had to access his former employer’s network, then created a second fake account. That account was then used to delete about 2,371 records and edit about 115,581 more records. Those records dealt with special shipping orders the company was handling to ship personal protective equipment, also known as PPEs, to medical providers. Those shipments were disrupted or delayed because of the computer intrusion, according to the justice department. “The FBI is making it a priority during the worldwide pandemic to make sure crucial supplies are not being disrupted or diverted from the front lines of medical care,” said Chris Hacker, Special Agent in Charge of FBI Atlanta. “We are grateful to the medical packaging company for promptly reporting this disruption to their delivery of important medical supplies, so that we could react quickly.”

AID From A1 they set up before the coronavirus pandemic forced students — and a lot of the rest of the world — away from their normal routine. “It’s very cool learning about things that are so flexible and complex that can be accomplished,” said Reese, a junior who lives in Sugar Hill. “We didn’t know (there would be) a pandemic, but we were prepared for it.” That’s because the program was designed specifically to have realworld applications. When classes started this semester, instructor Brandon Meyers’ message was as simple as it was difficult: Come up with a plan that utilized a small, portable unit that could help nonprofits in a “relatively low cost” way. What the class — which consists of 16 students who are either juniors or seniors — came up with was a group of six 3D printers that weren’t costly (about $349 each) and that could easily be assembled and disassembled. That last part proved incredibly important when the pandemic led Gov. Brian Kemp to close schools. Faced with being unable to physically be at the school, Myers took apart the printers and relocated them to his home in Flowery Branch. He quickly discovered the students had more than lived up to

The 3D Print Farm consists of six 3D printers that cost roughly $349 each. their part of the assembly challenge. “That was part of the constraints I gave the students,” Myers said. “Could it be disassembled and reassembled pretty quickly? “I took it down (at school) and had it operating within 24 hours at my home. It was pretty amazing.” Since the 3D printers — referred to by the students as “The Farm” — have been relocated to Myers’ home, they have continued to make personal protective equipment (or PPE as you’ve heard them referred to often) that are being donated to frontline workers. The printers, which are stacked in two rows of three on top of each other, can produce six large or nine

small ear reliefs every three hours, up to about 300 a day. The class is also making face shield frames, and at full capacity six can be made every hour. So far, the class has produced 458 ear reliefs, 57 face shield uppers and 20 face shield lowers in seven days. “We needed something that would be a fast turnaround, and this was the perfect opportunity to run it,” Myers said. “It turned out to be a great opportunity to really prove our class project for the year. And we’ve been able to help a lot of people.” So far, donations have been made to a postal worker to share with his colleagues, a Gwinnett County police officer to share with fellow officers, a nurse at Emory University Hospital and to the Northeast Georgia Health System. As more are produced, more agencies in need of the PPE are being sought, Myers said. Myers is in his second year of teaching the class, which is part of Gwinnett County Public Schools’ Academies and CTE Division. He came to the school system from private industry where he worked for AZZ Specialty Welding, a specialty welding and engineering company that serves the nuclear, energy and petrochemical industries. Maxwell School of Technology students Max Rashkovskiy and Eli Reese He brings that real-world mentality to the Maxwell classroom, work on building the 3D Print Farm earlier this year.

Brandon Myers is the instructor for the manufacturing class at Maxwell High School of Technology. which resonates with his students. They say he teaches them to solve problems versus pitching products, and teaches them to be proactive and not wait for a boss to micromanage their every step. That has already paid off for Reese, who with Myers’ backing has garnered an internship and a job as a CNC (computer numerical control) operator with KGMade Suppressors, a military contractor located in Norcross. “He’s an awesome teacher,” Reese said of Myers. “I hope this job turns into a career because going in and doing something I love doesn’t feel like work.” Reese said he and his classmates are proud to contribute during the pandemic, a sentiment Myers echoes. “I am so proud of what my stu-

dents have accomplished in our program. My goal is to give our students the tools and the opportunity to take extreme ownership of their education at Maxwell,” Myers aid. “The CTE programs offered in Gwinnett schools provide an unparalleled opportunity for students to experience real world applications of what they are learning. Every project is designed to push them a little further than think they can handle. Time and time again, our students never disappoint. “The 3D Printer Farm was another example of what these students can do when given the opportunity. They didn’t stop at learning how to use a 3D printer. Our students built a small production facility that has responded to this emergency above and beyond all expectations.”

March unemployment claims hit record high in Georgia

By Dave Williams

Capitol Beat News Service

ATLANTA — The coronavirus pandemic is saddling Georgia with historic levels of unemployment. Initial unemployment claims increased by a record 290,068 last month compared to February as the economic impacts of the COVID-19 outbreak took hold. The total for March was higher than the total for all of last year. The Georgia Department of

Labor processed 319,581 claims just during the week of March 29 through April 4. Counting the previous week’s claims, the state has handled more than 700,000 claimants in two weeks. The state’s unemployment rate went up by 1.1% last month – also setting a record for such a short period — to reach 4.2%. Unemployment stood at 3.7% in March of last year. “We are reaching unprecedented claim levels of almost 1 million

The COVID-19 coronavirus disease pandemic is having one major impact on Gwinnett County Public Schools that could impact the district later in the summer, or potentially into the fall: district officials can’t finish the school system’s proposed fiscal year 2021 budget. A key basis for the school system’s annual budget is how much money the General Assembly allocates for education in the state budget. The General Assembly recessed last month, however, without approving a new state budget because of the outbreak. That will put Gwinnett schools in a bind since the new fiscal year begins July 1. “The FY 21 budget process is currently on hold as the legislative session has been suspended indefinitely,” Chief Financial Officer Joe Heffron said. “Once the legislative session reconvenes and a state budget is approved for next year, GCPS will be able to resume our budget process.” Gwinnett County Board of Education officials got a glimpse into how the COVID-19 outbreak could impact the district’s finances on Thursday as department heads made presentations on how they are dealing with the pandemic. A big issue raised was the fact that there is no state budget in place for fiscal year 2021. There are still about 11 legislative days left to be completed and adoption of the state’s fiscal year 2021 budget, which would go into effect July 1, is one of the issues legislators Dacula

During the meeting, board members indicated the policies they were waiving dealt more with administration of the district during the outbreak. Wilbanks did offer one example of requirements outlined in the policies that were waived Thursday: mandated assessments administered to students. “While we will be giving some assessments, they will be teacher-made assessments,” the superintendent said. “They will be tests that the teachers make. “We are trying in an individual school, if you have five people that teach algebra, we are asking them to give one algebra test or one common or Special photos department algebra test, but Clockwise from upper left, Gwinnett W County school board members Louise Radloff, Everton other than that, all tests will Blair, Mary Kay Murphy and Carol Boyce participate in an video board meeting Thursday.

still have to take care of. Gwinnett Superintendent J. Alvin Wilbanks said he’s heard that the General Assembly may resume its session in June. Heffron did say there is a way, albeit unconventional, for the school system to continue operating without a budget. “Normally, a school system adopts a budget before beginning of the fiscal year, which for us is July 1,” he said. “However, there are instances where a school board is unable to do so. In order to continue operating when a new budget does not exist, the Board of Education must adopt a spending resolution which authorizes the superintendent to spend funds in the new year.” But special purpose local option sales tax revenues are expected to also be impacted in the long run by the outbreak. Wilbanks also warned the board that while the district is in good shape, budget-wise, for the last two-and-a-half months of the current fiscal year, a shutdown of businesses will hurt funding for SPLOST projects. There are several SPLOST-funded projects, including technology retrofits and capital projects such as building additions, that the

While financial questions are being held up by the outbreak, the school board did take steps to alleviate other issues created by the pandemic by waiving several policies Thursday.

As Taiwan shows, the antidote to the virus is freedom

e continue to learn more about the Chinese Communist regime’s lies and culpability in the global coronavirus pandemic. But if you want to see the difference between how a totalitarian and a free Chinese society handles a public health emergency, just contrast the actions of the People’s Republic with those of the Republic of China, Taiwan. One is responsible for unleashing a contagion that has infected more than 2 million people; the other has all but defeated the virus. Taiwan should have seen the second-largest outbreak of COVID-19 in the world, according to an analysis published in JAMA, the journal of the American Medical Association. The island is just 81 miles off the coast of China, had 2.7 million visitors from the mainland last year and has about 1.25 million citizens who either reside in or work in China. Yet Taiwan has seen only six people die of COVID-19 out of a total of just 393 confirmed cases. Even more amazing, 338 of those cases were individuals infected abroad. In other words, Taiwan has seen just 55 local infections, which means it has effectively eliminated community transmission. Earlier this week, the government reported zero new COVID-19 cases in Taiwan. What is most impressive is that Taiwan has

Beijing banned Chinese tourism to Taiwan — which reduced the number of Chinese tourists at the very moment the virus was spreading rapidly in Wuhan. But those efforts to isolate Taiwan may have hurt us. On Dec. 31, Taiwan tried to warn the World Health Organization (WHO) about the danger the virus posed. But because China will not let Taiwan join international organizations, its warnings were ignored as the WHO continued to parrot Beijing’s lies. Had Taiwan been a member, we would have learned several critical weeks sooner about the coming danger. This pandemic has provided us with a clinical trial in the healing power of freedom. We can now compare two control groups in the form of two Chinese societies — one free and democratic, the other under the grip of a brutal totalitarian dictatorship. Totalitarian China has not only been ravaged by the virus but has also spread the contagion to our shores. Free China has defeated it. The lesson is clear: COVID-19 grew in the cesspool of Chinese Communist tyranny. The antidote to the coronavirus is freedom.

NEAR PERFECT Wesleyan finishes unbeaten, short of state title goal By Will Hammock will.hammock@ gwinnettdailypost.com

Wesleyan’s baseball team finished the 2020 season unbeaten and with a win in its final game, yet the ending was far from satisfying. The Wolves felt they were building toward one of the best seasons in school history when they suffered the same fate as all high school sports in Georgia thanks to the coronavirus pandemic. A March 12 win over Hebron Christian ended up being the finale, not the May 15-18 state championship series the players and coached hoped for as the conclusion. “This was one of the most talented teams we’ve had at Wesleyan from top to bottom with depth, too,” said Wesleyan head coach Brian Krehmeyer, whose program sports state championships from 20082010 and 2015. “Those teams that when on that great run in 2008, 2009 and 2010, when you look at the entire roster of the 2008 team, considering the juniors, sophomores and freshmen, so many of them went off to college (baseball). “That was the feel of this team, too. So many of them have opportunities to go off to play in college. … We felt like this was a year we had a chance to make it to the championship.

The senior class features Charlie Taylor (Tennessee signee), Holden Wilder (Wofford), Mark Tucker (North Georgia), Wyatt Copeland (Johns Hopkins) and Jamie LaFramboise (Centre College). Juniors James McCoy (Kentucky) and Luke Carroll (Dartmouth) already have committed to colleges, and so has talented sophomore Druw Jones, a Vanderbilt recruit and the son of former Braves star Andruw Jones. Junior Jalen Fulwood also has offers to choose from,

as does sophomore Cooper Blauser, son of former Braves infielder Jeff Blauser. Georgia Tech and South Carolina are among Blauser’s offers. That group fueled Wesleyan’s unbeaten start and the No. 1 position in the Class A power rankings. The team’s seniors provided a strong base, Krehmeyer said, as well as talent. Taylor, a fouryear varsity player and threeyear starter at catcher, was hitting .417 with two home runs, 10 RBIs and 10 doubles when the season ended. LaFramboise had a .294 average with 12 RBIs, and Tucker hit .318. Copeland was 3-0 with a 1.36 ERA and 21 strikeouts in 20 2/3 innings, while Wilder was 3-0 with a 1.91 ERA, a save and 35 strikeouts in 18 1/3 innings.

“This group will be remembered most for their leadership ability,” Krehmeyer said. “From the start, they were very inclusive of the underclassmen. That loss in the (state) semifinals last year really motivated them in the offseason.” McCoy (2-0, 10 IP) and Fulwood (1-0, 10 2/3 IP) still had 0.00 ERA totals in the early season. McCoy also hit .375 with two home runs, 12 RBIs and three doubles, and Fulwood had a team-best 10 stolen bases. Jones had the Wolves’ gaudiest offensive stats, hitting .487 with three home runs, 15 RBIs and 16 runs scored. He led the team in all of those categories. Joe Chatham (.400, 10 RBIs, HR, five doubles) and Blauser (.395, 10 RBIs, HR, three doubles, one triple, 14 runs) also put up impressive numbers. The numbers figured to grow this spring as Wesleyan pursued a state title, but that journey was cut short. “It’s more sadness than bittersweet because this is not just happening at Wesleyan, it’s happening across the country,” Krehmeyer said. “You can’t assume too much of the victim role. We were able to finish the season undefeated for what it’s worth. We had a great game for our last game. We’ve talked about what we were able to do, not about what we lost.”

Archer senior Kyla Ffrench committed Wednesday night to the Auburn University at Montgomery women’s volleyball program. Ffrench was a Daily Post all-county selection the past three seasons, as well as a three-time region player of the year. She had 350 kills and 65 blocks as a senior.

Collins to play for North Georgia Collins Hill senior Kamryn Collins committed this week for the University of North Georgia women’s basketball program. Collins helped the Eagles to a state runner-up and earned all-county honors as a senior in her first season with the program.

Brown offers advice to Lanier students on Zoom call By Will Hammock

will.hammock@gwinnettdailypost.com

Derrick Brown took a break from his NFL Draft preparation Thursday afternoon to give advice and motivation to students and faculty from his high school. The star defensive lineman, widely projected as a top-10 pick in the first round next week, spoke with his former Lanier head coach Korey Mobbs and Sugar Hill Church pastor Tripp Atkinson on a Zoom meeting designed for current Longhorn students. Brown answered questions for nearly an hour, covering a wide variety of topics but focusing largely on lessons he learned as a student-athlete at Lanier and at Auburn, where he played four seasons and was a unanimous All-American in 2019. “When Tripp and I reached out to (Brown) last week (about the Zoom meeting), his answer was immediately yes,” Mobbs said. “That’s just who Derrick is. … Ev-

ery time he’s home, he comes by his home, not just his parents’ home, but Lanier High School.” Lanier was where Brown learned not just football, but also involvement in extracurricular activities like leadership groups and student council. He continued that at Auburn, serving as vice president and president of the university’s Student-Athlete Advisory Committee and earning the nickname “Baby Barack” from his teammates, comparing him to the 44th president of the U.S. Brown loves visiting with those in the Lanier community, even though he has to do it virtually instead of in person because of the coronavirus pandemic. “When I’m at home, I’m Derrick,” he said. “I’m not Derrick the football player. I’m Derrick the son, the dad. It’s something I cherish.” Brown still prefers to work out at Lanier over other gyms because it gives that feeling of home and allows him to remember where his career launched. He was a star in

He stressed to the current Lanier students to enjoy their high school memories, both athletic and otherwise. “Don’t wish this time away, enjoy the moment,” Brown said. “I know sometimes it’s hard. Sometimes it’s long days. Just enjoy these moments. These are mo-

ments you’re never going to get back. You may be with somebody you get to be with every day, but in the future you don’t know if you will go to school together. You may be a thousand miles apart. You won’t get to see each other and have those one-on-one experiences (like high school).” Brown fielded questions on a variety of subjects from his train-

ing regimen (currently challenging with COVID-19) to his high school friend circle (still his best friends) to the upcoming draft (where most have him projected at No. 7 overall to the Carolina Panthers). He also was asked about his career path if football wasn’t an option, and the recent Auburn graduate listed working with the FBI or in politics as options. “Does the FBI have a weight limit?” Mobbs joked to the 6-foot5, 326-pounder. “They’ve got a bad-ass limit,” a smiling Brown fired back. Brown also responded encouragingly about opening a future business of some sort in Sugar Hill. “I’ve got a couple of ideas for a business in Sugar Hill,” he said. “Right now, my focus is on ball. Next spring, we’ll see.” The NFL Draft begins Thursday, April 23 — it will be held virtually instead of Las Vegas this year because of the coronavirus — and Brown should know his future team pretty early in the broadcast.

animal neglect charge. Pittman is a Chicago native, but jail records list him as living in Peachtree Corners. It was not fully clear what the probation violation entailed, but Whiteside’s office said Pittman has also been recently accused of allegedly firing a handgun in a street in front of his residence, starving a dog to death, driving without a license or insurance and having an expired tag. Gwinnett County jail records show Pittman was arrested on an aggravated cruelty to animals-death charge on Feb. 26. He was also arrested April 7 on charges of reckless conduct, driving without a valid license and expired tag/registration. Whiteside is asking that witnesses to most of the events that occurred earlier this year involving Pittman to call Gwinnett County Solicitor’s Office’s Director of Public Relations Arteen Afshar at 770-822-8329. Anyone who witnessed the alleged felony animal cruelty incident involving Pittman is asked to contact the Gwinnett County District Attorney’s Office at 770-822-8400.

Gwinnett County police are looking for a man who broke into a church in Sugar Hill last month and stole a video gaming console, and they are asking for the public’s help to find him. The suspect was seen on surveillance video entering Sugar Hill Church, which is located at 5091 Nelson Brogdon Boulevard in unincorporated Sugar Hill, through an unlocked window between 4:30 and 5:05 p.m. on March 22. He is accused of taking a Play Station 4 and then leaving on foot. Police have described the suspect as a white male who is either in his late teens or early 20s and who was wearing a white Nike hat, zip up jacket, red plaid shirt, red Tshirt, dark pants and white and black shoes. Anyone who has information about the suspect’s identity or location is asked to call detectives at 770-513-5300 or Police looking for Crime Stoppers at 404-577suspects accused of 8477.

call friends and spend a leisurely time in conversation rather than the hurried text or email. I have caught up on all my thank you notes and have even found time to write letters, especially to older people who are bored and feel disconnected. Particularly widow women. For the first time in a few years, I don’t feel out of breath at the end of the day because I have gone in a constant trot since rising from bed. Normally, I am scurrying to pay bills, answer correspondence, file, write and handle details for speaking engagements. Since having my entire calendar of engagements for four months canceled, it has provided more free time, some of which I use to read more books. Recently, I realized that I am enjoying this slower pace so intently that I run the risk of becoming lazy or, at the very least,

less motivated. I am trying to carefully guard against that by pushing myself through a to-do list every day. From Tink, I am reminded that we will return to normal as he sits in a chair and cheerfully writes two Christmas movies for the Hallmark Channel. He is exceedingly glad this year to create these stories, knowing that Hallmark’s always successful Christmas movies will be more than just lovingly embraced. They will be akin to fresh oxygen for a population that has been gasping for breath. There is always magic in the Lord’s timing and this is no exception. How grateful I am that this uncertain time coincided with spring reminding me of fresh life and renewal. Mama, like I, told detailed stories that included the extensive genealogy of anyone involved

in the tale, what they wore, and the weather. Mama never told a story that did not include something like, “It was spring of the year and unusually cold” or “It was July and the sun was so hot you had to stand in the shade.” When Mama started rambling into one of these stories — usually just as I was putting my hand on the doorknob to leave — I’d sigh heavily, roll my eyes and say, “Mama, cut to the chase. I don’t have all day to listen. I gotta go.” And that’s another thing that has changed dramatically. It’s been many weeks since I said, “I gotta go.” There’s something about that which feels extraordinarily good. Ronda Rich is the best-selling author of Let Me Tell You Something.

Extension Gwinnett and The conditions are now fa- add fertilizer according vorable for planting summer to the recommendations. vegetables such as squash Tomatoes are the most

popular vegetable, and many varieties exist. They can be classified as either indeterminate or determinate. Determinate varieties, such as “Bush Beefsteak” and “Bush Early Girl,” are compact. They produce all of their fruit in a short period and then start to decline. These are best for canning, and making soups and tomato paste. Indeterminate tomatoes produce their fruit continually throughout the season. Examples include “Big Boy,” “Better Boy” and cherry tomatoes such as “Sweet 100.” Peppers come in many types with varying degrees

of hotness. Some, such as bell and banana peppers, are sweet and have many uses. Others, such as jalapeno and habanero, are quite hot. Make sure you know the specific type of pepper you are planting. Cucurbits, which include squash, cucumbers, cantaloupes, melons, and pumpkins, can be directly seeded — harvest summer squash, which includes yellow crookneck or straight next or zucchini before they get huge. If left on the plant too long, the fruits become hard and unpalatable as well as shutting down the plant’s production of more. Winter squash, such as butternut squash, spaghetti squash, and acorn squash, can be left on the vine a more extended amount of time until they are ripe. Despite the name, the plants do not grow in the winter. The name comes from the fact they were often stored in cellars where the temperatures are cooler before refrigeration. Therefore, they would be available for consumption during the winter. Cucumbers are vines and will need support. Harvest

them as you would summer squash before they get too large. Be aware that cucumbers, as well as zucchini squash, are frequently camouflaged by the foliage and could be missed when harvesting. Other related plants, such as watermelons and pumpkins, grow from seeds planted in the garden but need adequate space for the vines to spread. Many types of beans and peas grow from seed directly planted into the soil. Many varieties of beans are available, but they are divided into two categories, bush and pole beans. Bush beans are short and grow upright. Pole beans are vines and will need support. Make sure you know which types you are purchasing. Many summer peas thrive in our area. These include black-eyed peas, field peas, crowder peas, cowpeas and others. Another class of peas, the English peas, or sugar peas, prefer cooler weather. Plant them in February or March or the early fall. Having fresh corn on the cob is quite the treat. Corn

requires sufficient space since it can grow six to 10 feet in height. The seeds should be placed 12 to 18 inches apart and with the rows three feet away from each other. “Silver King’”and “Silver Queen” are two popular varieties. Another favorite summer vegetable is okra, which also needs space since it can grow up to eight feet. Harvest the pods when they are four to six inches long. The growing season is upon us. Now is the right time to begin planting summer vegetables. If given proper growing conditions, you will have a bountiful harvest.
