Redevelopment plans laid out for Gwinnett Prado in filing

Monday morning began as any other day for Buford City Schools.

Students filed into their classrooms, teachers started their lessons, the school board began its weekly duties and Superintendent Geye Hamby reported for work.

By Friday, however, the Buford school district — most prominently Hamby — had become embroiled in scandal after news broke of a lawsuit filed by former paraprofessional educator Mary Ingram, which accuses Hamby, the district and Buford Academy Principal Kaleen Pulley of racial discrimination.

Included in the suit are two audio recordings of a man, who is said to be Hamby, spewing racist rants, including using the n-word and saying he would “kill these (expletive).”

While the close of the week culminated in Hamby’s resignation — the school board announced Wednesday it had placed him on administrative leave effective the previous day, though no further employment actions occurred until Friday — many residents still have questions and concerns, most notably,

About two years after new owners bought the mostly derelict Gwinnett Prado shopping center near Duluth, plans have surfaced that show the property’s potential future.

Conceptual plans filed Aug. 13 for the project include a food hall, new retail, green spaces, hundreds of residential units — both town homes and apartments — and a 120-room hotel. The plans even show there will be space for an ice rink to be installed in winter See REDEVELOPMENT, Page 5A

Phoenix High School to expand with new Sugarloaf Mills campus

BY TREVOR MCNABOE

trevor.mcnaboe@gwinnettdailypost.com

Phoenix High School is expanding this fall with the addition of a new location at Sugarloaf Mills that will give students another place to seek a second chance at an education.

The new Phoenix High School at Sugarloaf Mills is the product of a partnership with the Simon Youth Foundation, which is affiliated with Simon, the company that owns Sugarloaf Mills. The foundation operates youth academy at Simon

malls around the country.

The program is designed to serve students who are committed to finishing their education but need additional support and are interested in working while they go to school.

It is also designed to be small and allow more individualized support for each student as they transition to the workplace or to college.

Classes are expected to begin at the satellite location in September, but school officials said a ribboncutting for the facility will take place Oct. 17 and 18.

“We’re excited to give more

students the opportunity to get a diploma,” Phoenix High School principal Donna Scott said. “This unique partnership with the Simon Youth Foundation will give us an opportunity to provide a curriculum and education to students they might not have the chance to get before.”

Phoenix High opened 30 years ago as to place to provide a nontraditional high school setting for students struggling academically to make up credits. Some of these students are pupils who had previSee PHOENIX, Page 5A

GCPS enrollment numbers continue to climb

BY TREVOR MCNABOE trevor.mcnaboe @gwinnettdailypost.com

Enrollment numbers in Gwinnett County Public Schools rose by more than 1,100 students this past week following the

district’s third attendance count.

On Thursday, GCPS released its third of five scheduled attendance counts, which monitors each school’s projected attendance and compares it to its actual attendance.

GCPS has 178,655 students at its 140 school facilities, continuing an upward trend toward its forecasted enrollment of 180,320.

The forecast enrollment is what the district anticipates enrollment to be by

the final count day on Sept.

4.

“We will do our final count the Tuesday after Labor Day and expect we will be even closer to our projection by that time,” GCPS spokeswoman Sloan Roach said. “To illustrate

PRESENTED BY

the continued growth each week, this third count reflects 1,131 more students than our second count and 5,936 more than our first count held on Aug. 7.”

Systemwide, elementary school attendance is 1,443 students lower than projected, while middle schools are 213 students below projections and high schools are just nine students lower than projections.

Recently opened Paul Duke STEM recorded an attendance of 630 students, 180 fewer than anticipated.

Two miles down the road,

Norcross High has the largest discrepancy in the district with 3,144 students attending — 126 more than projected.

Mill Creek High is the largest school in the district, housing 3,724 students, North Gwinnett Middle is the most populous middle school with 2,232 students and Jackson Elementary is the largest elementary school with 1,492 students.

The district’s next attendance numbers are scheduled to be recorded Tuesday.

increase in female student athletes from 5,825 during the 2015-16 year to 6,221 last school year.

That number could increase this year with the addition of girls flag football.

Traditionally, football has been a popular sport among boys, with more than 2,600 male participants following an increase in 96 players last year.

However, in July the district announced a partnership with the Atlanta Falcons to start a league aiming to increase the sports popularity for the female student population.

Prior to the announcement of a girls flag football league, the district has had one female player participate in football each of the last three years.

Chris Millman, director of community relations for the Falcons, said in July they anticipate roughly 400 or so girls to participate in the five week regular season.

Thigpen confirmed on Aug. 16 that the district is in compliance with state law requiring school districts to submit a gender equity report annually to the Georgia Department of Education by Aug. 30.

Marrow produces different blood cells Dear Dr. rOacH: You have mentioned diseases of the blood marrow in the column before, but what does the bone marrow actually do?

— T.S.B. ansWer: The main job of the bone marrow is to produce the different blood cells: red blood cells to carry oxygen; white blood cells to fight infection and cancers; and platelets to stop bleeding. Diseases of the bone marrow can cause problems by making something abnormal (such as leukemia cells), but also by failing at its job and not making what it is supposed to. Low red cell counts lead to anemia; low white cell counts increase risk of infection; and low platelet counts contribute to abnormal bleeding.

Bone marrow diseases sometimes can be treated directly, but often treatment involves replacing blood products, and possibly using growth factors to make the bone marrow work better.

Dear Dr. rOacH: I know women who have had double mastectomies in order to reduce the risk of cancer. It seems extreme, but I guess it depends on the evaluation of risk. Are prophylactic hysterectomies done for similar reasons? It used to be routinely done when a woman had passed her reproductive years. I’m interested in your take on this. Will health insurance cover these types of surgeries, and if not, how expensive are they?

— S.B. ansWer: Prophylactic mastectomies — that is, surgery to remove the breasts in order to avert a breast cancer diagnosis — are a reasonable choice for some women at very high risk of breast cancer, especially those with a family history of breast cancer who have an identifiable genetic predisposition, such as one of the BRCA gene mutations. This decision should be made carefully and in consultation with her doctors, usually an oncologist and a genetic counselor.

I have very little experience with this in my own patients, fortunately, but I understand that in the case of women with very high genetic risk, it usually is covered by insurance, if it is the consensus of the treating physicians and the patient that she should proceed.

Hysterectomy — the removal of a uterus — is not done routinely today, the way it was decades ago. They are removed for disease, either benign or malignant. However, the removal of both ovaries and Fallopian tubes, called a bilateral oophorectomy and salpingectomy, is performed in some women at high risk for ovarian cancer. In fact, women with the BRCA mutations may consider both a prophylactic double mastectomy and a prophylactic bilateral oophorectomy and salpingectomy, since BRCA mutations increase risk of breast cancer and ovarian cancer (as well as other cancers).

The cost of surgery in the United States varies dramatically depending on where it is done, but in general it is very expensive.

Dear amy: I’m flying home with my girlfriend over the Thanksgiving holiday to meet my family.

In recent days, as my mother and I have talked on the phone, she has brought up Thanksgiving and the prospect of meeting my girlfriend, saying, “I hope you’re not making a mistake with her.”

For background, I recently left a religious order because I met this young woman and wished to pursue a relationship with her. Mom tried to encourage me to stay in the order.

Today on the phone, she mentioned that a girl I grew up with was visiting my parents and said she wanted to see me.

Mom said I’d be visiting for Thanksgiving and invited her to come back and visit while I’m home.

Mind you, this whole trip is so my mother can meet my girlfriend.

What should I do?

Should I talk to my mother about her inviting another girl to the house while I’m trying to introduce her and my father to my girlfriend?

The development, which will be near Gwinnett Place Mall at 2300 Pleasant Hill Road, is called Orchid Grove in the plans.

“It’s a fairly large site … so you can do a lot with it,” said Gwinnett Place Community Improvement District Executive Director Joe Allen, who talked generally about the site because the developers asked him to not discuss their specific plans.

But while officials are remaining mum about the plans, there is a major significance to the site, giving officials reason to be interested in what is built there. The Gwinnett Prado site has been one of the projects that officials in the Gwinnett Place Mall area have been excited about because of its potential to spur further redevelopment in that area.

Allen and other officials with the Gwinnett Place CID have been pitching the aging shopping centers to developers as places ripe for redevelopment.

The CID’s chief officials said, however, that the largely vacant Gwinnett Prado site will play a key part of the area’s revitalization.

“It’s been one of our top redevelopment, or we call it catalyst sites, for years because it’s in a very strategic location right there bound by Pleasant Hill Road, Old Norcross Road and Satellite Boulevard,” Allen said. “We identified it as a catalyst site many years ago, even before the current owners (bought) it.”

Since the plans are conceptual in nature, they offer a glimpse of what Chaz Lazarian, the developer working to redevelop the site, is looking at doing with the site, but it still leaves some flexibility for the redevelopment of the property.

Not much is being said about the plans for the site by people who have knowledge about it.

Lazarian was not available to comment on the plans Friday and Allen said he has been asked Lazarian and his partners not to comment on it.

That leaves the conceptual

Racial tensions not new in Buford For years, Buford has dealt with racism in its community and in its schools.

In 2006, Buford High School gained the attention of news media after a series of incidents targeted black students, beginning in early February of that year with the suspension of senior Josh Pugh for taunting black student Latura Grant with racial slurs.

During Pugh’s suspension, other students vandalized black students’ lockers, writing racial slurs on them. Someone also slipped a note inside Grant’s locker, filled with white supremacist language.

Though the incidents received media attention, Ruby Osborne, one of the students who had the n-word written on her locker and “notes placed in (her) locker with threats and white supremacy logos and phrases,” told the Daily Post on Wednesday that the racism was “swept under the rug.”

The 2006 incidents weren’t new for the school, either, other former students told the Daily Post, though those events were the most outward expression of racism the school had seen in a while.

“I graduated from Buford (High) in 2001 and the things that were happening then are clearly still happening now,” Buford resident Samaria Blow said. “We are still having this conversation about racism (in the school system) 17 years later — something has to be done.”

Redevelopment

plans to show what may go on the site.

The plans show the first phase of the project include a 30,277-square-foot food hall and an 11,472-square-foot theatre, 14 live and work town home units, 75 garden loft units with a 15,647-square-foot restaurant, a 120-room hotel, 87,175-squarefoot retail and office plaza abutting Pleasant Hill Road and a 900-space parking deck.

The retail and office plaza will include 40,258 square feet of office space, 33,418 square feet of restaurant space and 13,499 square feet of retail space.

A lawn and an area that can be used for an ice skating rink will in the center of phase one.

The existing 102,000-squarefoot Great Wall grocery store, and an additional 26,800 square feet of existing retail space on the east side of the market will remain and be incorporated into Orchid Grove. The first and second phases of the development will be built around those existing pieces that will remain part of the new project.

“We are going to keep the main building there since we do have tenants in place, but luckily for us the rest of the property is actually vacant so we can work around it,” Lazarian said in 2016.

Buford

Still, students protested in their own way on Friday, namely by wearing black to school to indicate their desire for Hamby’s removal.

Trinity Price and Hayley Iverson, both sophomores, were two of those students.

“A lot of people decided we were all going to wear black to show unity and how we don’t stand for with what he said,” Price said. “(Friday) was kind of like an outward expression.”

“It’s just unacceptable for all the students here and we just wanted to prove by wearing black that we’re not tolerating it,” Iverson said. “I heard the recording and was shocked and disturbed and disgusted by what I heard.”

The students said they spread the recording through social media outlets such as Snapchat, Twitter and Instagram.

“Everyone just started spreading it and got on with the movement,” Iverson said. “A lot of people were relieved that (Hamby) resigned because we all wanted it to happen.”

Not everyone was relished the resignation, though, with resident Mark Cunningham telling the Daily Post he felt it was “cowardly.”

“That dude is just horrible,” Cunningham told the Daily Post at Buford High School’s football game Friday. “And for (the school board) not to fire him on the spot and let him resign — they’re probably going to pay him about a million dollars to resign — that’s not (punishment), that’s a vacation.”

Though he said Hamby’s ousting is a start, Cunningham said wants to see “whoever’s backing him up” leave, too.

“There’s no way this should have gone on this long without him being fired,” Cunningham said. “The people backing him up need to go, too.”

Blow echoed Cunningham. “(By resigning), he still gets paid,” she said. “He shouldn’t get anything but the boot.”

‘A very touchy subject’ Though residents say race issues have long been present in Buford, it’s not an easy topic to discuss, they told the Daily Post.

“We’ve kind of just stayed together as a family at the school and not really wanted to talk about it,” said Buford High ‘An opportunity for School sophomore Chloe Carr. the school district’ “It’s been a very touchy subThough Hamby is out, ject.”

Ingram’s lawsuit is still very

The second phase of Orchid Grove will include 13,100 square feet of new retail on the west side of Great Wall, as well as a 1,800-square foot center plaza and three five story apartment buildings, with a total of about 776 units, that abut Old Norcross Road.

Lazarian bought the property in the summer of 2016, and the first public news that redevelopment plans were being crafted for the property emerged at Partnership Gwinnett’s Metro Atlanta Redevelopment Summit in October of that year.

The site was added, at the request of Lazarian and his partners, to the Venture Drive Redevelopment Overlay District in December 2016 to take advantage of some of the zoning rules allowed there. The district’s creation allowed mixed use developments with no limits on building heights and a requirement that at least 20 percent of the property must be open space.

“That sends a message to the development community that, No. 1, Gwinnett County government is very serious about redevelopment and doing things differently than they were done in the past in the area (and) trying to make it very flexible to create the type of community that we want to see,” Allen said.

much active, which the 66-yearold told Daily Post media partner FOX 5 Atlanta she was glad about.

“I feel relieved that it is out,” she said. “It is something I have been holding for a while.”

Ingram said being fired from the district was hard for her to come to terms with. She called it a “really bad punishment” and said she was so upset about being let go that it started to affect her health.

“That was like taking a big part of my life away from me,” Ingram said. “It made me sick, ill. I threw up a lot. I lost a lot of weight. I couldn’t sleep. It has been a struggle.”

Ingram, who worked for the school district for nearly 20 years, said she loved working with kids and had dedicated her life to working with them, specifically spending years working with special education students.

That’s what made being fired so hard for her.

Though she may not ever return to teaching, Ingram’s lawsuit asks for back pay, as well as front pay in lieu of being reinstated, compensatory and punitive damages, attorney’s fees and trial by jury.

The suit, which is still in its early stages, will likely take 10 months to a year before it goes to a jury, Ingram’s lawyer, Ed Buckley, told FOX 5 Atlanta.

In the meantime, though, Buckley told the Daily Post, the recent events and how they unfolded present an opportunity for Buford City Schools to better itself.

“This is an opportunity for the school district to decide how it identifies itself,” he said.

“More importantly, when you have a person of authority like that, a person making $308,000, overseeing the children of the community, you want to make sure that the right (person) is there doing that …

“We would love to see the Buford City Schools district clearly state how it wants to define itself going forward.”

Staff reporters Curt Yeomans and Trevor McNaboe contributed to this story.

Murder August 19,” Delkic’s niece, Emili

Medical Center, where he was later pronounced dead, and Hunte was initially charged with voluntary manslaughter.

He was denied bond on Tuesday because he poses a “risk of danger to the community” a judge said, and on Friday, the charges were upgraded to murder.

“After further consultation with the District Attorney’s Office and upon review of all the interviews and the Walmart video, it was decided that murder was the appropriate charge,” Manley told the Daily Post.

According to Georgia state laws, murder involves “malice aforethought,” which means “the act of killing was intentional.”

Manslaughter is the “unlawful killing of another person without direct intention or attempt.”

Unlike some other states, Georgia does not classify murder in the first or second degree, hence the voluntary manslaughter charge.

Prior to the charges being upgraded, however, Delkic’s friends and family, as well as citizens who had heard about the shooting, said the voluntary manslaughter charge was not enough.

“He should be charged with murder, and his (fiancee) should be charged with something for slapping the man,” one person wrote on the Daily Post’s website.

“I was there,” another person wrote. “Troy shot Mr. D in cold blood.”

Snellville Police Department Assistant Chief Greg Perry took to social media to address the issue.

“There is a lot of banter about how things should be investigated on social media,” Perry said in a Facebook post on Thursday.

“This is something that we will work out. While investigating a serious offense, we don’t normally focus on misdemeanor offenses unless it is necessary to make the more serious charge.”

According to friends and family, the 49-year-old victim had come to the United States for a better life after surviving Bosnian concentration camps and the war.

“Fadil Delkic, a father, friend, son, brother, husband, and amazing soul was shot and killed on

Sabanovic, said on a GoFundMe page. “In his twenties, Fadil survived a concentration camp during the Bosnian War, exceeded as a refugee in several different countries and fought hard to give his family the life they have. It was not his time to depart our lives.”

Delkic and his wife, Bahra, had been married for 27 years and were parents to three children, Sabanovic said.

“The eldest daughter is pregnant and due in November, the middle daughter shares his humor and bright spirit and the 19-yearold son has inherited his father’s kind heart and selflessness,” she said. “Fadil will now never get to meet his first granddaughter.

He has three siblings that would give their lives for him. He was loved by all of his friends and did anything for anyone.”

Sabanovic said the family is “devastated” by Delkic’s death and in “extreme shock.”

“This tragedy is devastating for everyone that knew Fadil,” she wrote. “He touched the hearts of hundreds of people. He was a selfless character with one of the purest hearts. He was often heard singing loudly and laughing at the joys of life despite all that he has gone through and seen with the war.

“We hope that everyone remembers Fadil Delkic as the jovial, hard-working man that he will always be remembered as.”

Sabanovic has not made any updates to the page since Hunte’s charges were updated, and the Daily Post’s attempts to contact her did not receive a response.

But Facebook users commented on the Daily Post’s Facebook post, saying they feel Hunte is now facing the correct charges.

“Can’t shoot people in cold blood and not get punished,” one woman wrote.

“Good, he should be charged with murder,” another said.

Many commented that the event was a tragic one, though.

“Sad story all the way around,” one man wrote.

“Very sad and totally unnecessary,” a woman replied.

Hunte’s next court date is set for Wednesday at 1:30 p.m., the Gwinnett County Clerk of Courts website says. He will face a judge at the felony calendar appearance.

ously dropped out and wanted to come back and finish school, or had their education interrupted by family emergencies.

In fall 2016, Simon Mall business leaders approached Gwinnett County Public Schools about a partnership opportunity.

Scott said she welcomes the new satellite location because it, like the original location, offers transportation options for students.

Since Phoenix High is a non-traditional school, Gwinnett County school system buses do not provide transportation. Therefore, students have to either drive to class or use public transit.

Gwinnett County Transit has routes with stops at Sugarloaf Mills as well as the transit transfer station at Gwinnett Place Mall, which means students in a broader area of Gwinnett can use the transit system to get to the school.

“We had 95 students drop out last year because they said couldn’t continue because of transportation,” Scott said. “Public transportation convenes near the mall and will provide students a way to attend classes.”

According to GCPS spokesman Bernard Watson, students at the Sugarloaf Mills location will attend class at the main campus located at 501 Pike St. in Lawrenceville on Aug. 6 and will transition to the mall location sometime in the fall.

School officials anticipate 45 students will be enrolled in the new campus when it opens, but he also said the program can serve more than 100 students and will slowly increase the enrollment over time.

As part of the partnership, Simon Youth Foundation, a nonprofit, is providing the space and infrastructure such as furniture, renovation of space and wiring, while GCPS is providing the curriculum and personnel for the program.

According to school officials,

prospective students from across the county are able to enroll.

However, students need to be at least 16 years old and have completed 11 high school credits at the time of enrollment at the Sugarloaf Mills campus.

Two aspects the program focuses on are work-based learning opportunities and the support students will receive as they transition to post-secondary options or career opportunities.

“We will have a focus on having students walk out the door with a college and career plan,” Scott said. “After talking with employers we’ve learned they want students to be certified in things such as Microsoft (Office).”

There is no cafeteria, but students will have access to breakfast or lunch through a grab-n-go model offered through the district’s School Nutrition Program.

They also have the option to eat in the mall’s food court at their own expense.

The curriculum for students attending the Sugarloaf Mills campus is similar to other students in the school district. Phoenix High students will learn the same academic knowledge skills, known as AKS, but they will experience it through a work-based learning component designed to prepare students for post-secondary education or the work force.

“The unique thing about this place is in addition to traditional school hours, we want to have evening and weekend hours,” Scott said. “We have so many students that have life circumstances that force them to drop out. We hope to give students a facility they can attend and learn at all hours.”

Students interested in attending the new location can register at the main Phoenix campus. After the program opens at Sugarloaf Mills, students will be able to register in the mall location. For more information, visit www. phoenixhs.org.

Five local nonprofits receive recognition from Community Foundation for ‘incredible impact’ MorE oNLINE

curt.yeomans @gwinnettdailypost.com

Visit gwinnettdailypost.com for a photo gallery of the event.

Karen Fine Saltiel is, in the words of the Community Foundation of Northeast Georgia, “one of Gwinnett’s most passionate and committed business and community leaders.”

The Primerica executive vice president of human resources is also the president and chairwoman of the Primerica Foundation, and it’s through that role that she has shepherded the distribution of more than $6 million to local nonprofits.

As a result, it may have been simply a fortuitous coincidence that Saltiel received Primerica’s Heart of the Community Award during an event where performers from the Aurora Theatre singing “Dancing Queen.” The presentation occurred at the Community Foundation’s recent Good2Give celebration “Karen is all heart when it comes back to giving back to her community,” Community Foundation President and CEO Randy Redner said in a statement. “All of us have benefited from her caring, compassion and leadership. As she retires at the end of this year we wanted to honor her selfless work and generosity to our community.

“We thought starting the Good2Give Celebration with a tribute to her was fitting.”

Saltiel joined several groups in being honored during this year’s Good2Give Celebration, which was held Aug. 18 at the Infinite Energy Forum. The foundation used the occasion to recognize nonprofit groups that made a difference in the community in the areas of arts, community, education, health care and human services.

While the foundation recognized the five nonprofits, however, it also handed out a total of $50,000 to five other groups.

Those groups included Home of Hope at Gwinnett Children’s Shelter, Street Wise, Hudgens Center for Art and Learning, Auditory Verbal Center and Meadowcreek High School. Each

group received $10,000 from the foundation.

But the main focus was on recognizing the nonprofits that were being highlighted in each of the five category areas.

The Norcross-based Good Samaritan Health Clinic used the ceremony to break some news for the community. It was honored in the health care category for its work to provide primary care, full-time charitable dental care and workforce development to the community. Thank you letters from patients were read during

interviewed on stage at the event.

They shared Chad Watson’s story and talked about the work done at Annandale Village. The nonprofit’s choir also performed, which drew a standing ovation, according to Community Foundation officials.

Eagle Ranch was recognized in the human services category.

The ranch works with children who are in crisis, as well as their families. Founder Eddie Staub talked about the ranch during the celebration and highlighted the story of Cory Faubion, who is a graduate of the ranch’s program.

Faubion also briefly joined Staub on the stage.

Catholic Church needs #MeToo moment now WASHINGTON — Pope Francis’ letter to the Catholic faithful this week was remarkable in that the Holy Father apologized not only for the sexual abuses carried out by Roman Catholic priests but also for the coverup of that abuse carried out by Roman Catholic bishops.

“The heart-wrenching pain of these victims, which cries out to heaven, was long ignored, kept quiet or silenced,” Francis wrote. “To acknowledge the truth of what has happened, in itself this is not enough” he added, promising to make “all those who perpetrate or cover up these crimes accountable” and expressing deep regret that “we have delayed in applying these actions and sanctions that are so necessary.”

Those are welcome Marc words.

But unless Thiessen they are backed up by action, they will be meaningless. The episcopacy as an institution has been corrupted. A culture of silence allowed a culture of abuse to flourish. Bishops consumed with what the pope called “the thirst for power” have through both action and inaction allowed evil to spread through the church. That evil must be rooted out.

It is time for the Catholic Church to experience its own #MeToo moment. And it should start in Washington — the modern symbol of earthly power. Theodore McCarrick, the disgraced former archbishop of Washington, faces credible allegations that he abused not only a 16-year-old altar boy and an 11-year-old boy whose family McCarrick knew but also countless seminarians and young priests who were under his authority. (He has denied abusing the boys and refused to comment on the other allegations.)

McCarrick is the Harvey Weinstein of the Catholic Church. Who knew these allegations against him and failed to act? San Diego Bishop Robert McElroy, for one. A few years ago, McElroy was approached by Richard Sipe, an expert on clergy abuse, who said McCarrick and nearly a dozen other priests and bishops abused children and seminarians. Sipe was so disturbed by what he perceived as McElroy’s lack of interest during their meetings that in 2016 he sent a 13-page letter — delivered by a process server — in which he told McElroy that “Cardinal Theodore McCarrick has been reported by numerous seminarians and priests of sexual advances and activity. … I have interviewed twelve seminarians and priests who attest to propositions, harassment, or sex with McCarrick, who has stated, ‘I do not like to sleep alone.’ One priest incardinated in McCarrick’s Archdiocese of Newark was taken to bed for sex and was told, ‘This is how priests do it in the U.S.’” A spokesman for McElroy says he asked Sipe for more information and that he “was given essentially gossip, not evidence.” But Sipe explained to McElroy that the victims were afraid to come forward. “None so far has found the ability to speak openly at the risk of reputation and retaliation” he wrote, adding, “One priest was told by the chancery office, ‘If you speak with the press we will crush you.’” McElroy did nothing.

Sipe shared his letter with the papal nuncio and the pontifical commission for the protection of minors, led by Cardinal Sean O’Malley, who also failed to act. A New York priest, Father Boniface Ramsey, says he wrote a similar letter in June 2015 to O’Malley, who says he never saw it but should have. Who buried that letter? And who else failed to act?

According to a Pennsylvania grand jury report, the archbishop of Washington, Cardinal Donald Wuerl, moved predator priests around the Diocese of Pittsburgh when he was the bishop there and silenced victims with settlements that included confidentiality agreements. His resignation letter is on Francis’ desk, as all bishops must submit their resignations at 75. The Holy Father simply needs to accept it. The same day Francis issued his letter, Wuerl’s successor in Pittsburgh, Bishop David Zubik, appeared on Fox News’ “Special Report,” where he told Brett Baier, “There was no coverup.” Did Zubik not read the pope’s letter, which refers to “cover(ing) up,” “silenc(ing),” “ignor(ing)” and “deception” by bishops a total of eight times?

Even if he somehow failed to, Zubik knows there was a coverup because he was at the epicenter of it as director of clergy personnel under Wuerl.

The bishops were responsible for protecting priests and parishioners but were more concerned with protecting their own positions and power. The bishops should have trembled Wednesday when they heard the first reading for that day’s Mass in every Catholic Church throughout the world: “Thus says the Lord God: Woe to the shepherds of Israel who have been pasturing themselves! …

My sheep have been given over to pillage, and … have become food for every wild beast … because my shepherds did not look after my sheep. … I swear I am coming against these shepherds. I will claim my sheep from them and put a stop to their shepherding. … I will save my sheep.”

Holy Father, put a stop to their shepherding.

Save your sheep.

Georgia’s small-town food tour I was standing in line at a buffet this week and somewhere between the macaroni and cheese and the fried chicken I met Phillip Blount.

Talk quickly turned to small town life and the joys we encountered when we breathed the same rare air as students at the grand and glorious University of Georgia, hallowed be thy name, back in the early 1970s.

Those were the days of running nekkid down Sanford Drive — at least on one glorious March evening — and hijinks at the Fifth Quarter on Atlanta Highway and coming in at midnight instead of going out. You could actually watch movies at the Georgia Theater back then.

I learned that Phil Blount lives at the Georgia Club in Statham, and we talked about my good friends Frank and Katherine Chandley for a while. We both agreed that Frank is a prince of a fellow and that his wife, Kat, Food Mama Emeritus for the Oak Tree Tailgate Gang, is as unique an individual as ever graced God’s green earth — in a good way.

Then I learned that Phil was raised up in Soperton, and the talk was all barbecue after that.

There are small towns in Georgia that are known far and wide for the eating es-

Darrell Huckaby tablishments that grace their environs, or used to. I hail from such a place. Before I started writing about Porterdale, 25 years ago, people knew of it as the place where everyone used to go and eat at the Porterdale Hotel. Mrs. Effie Boyd served up some of the best country cooking anywhere south of Heaven itself. Year after year after year no less an authority than Brown’s Guide to Georgia proclaimed it the best place to get a meat and three in the entire Peach State.

Newnan was known for Sprayberry’s Barbecue. Perry had Sam Nunn and the fried chicken at the New Perry Hotel. Jackson had — and still has — Fresh Air Barbecue, and Phil Blount’s Soperton had Sweat’s Barbecue. I explained to Phil that for years and years and years I planned all my trips to the Georgia coast around stopping at Sweat’s Barbecue and several people along the buffet line,

who had overheard our conversation, allowed that they had done the same thing.

Now I have said this before, but in the South, you can get into a cuss fight over what constitutes good barbecue quicker than just about anything except religion, politics and college football.

In some places folks can’t even agree what barbecue is or isn’t. In Texas they insist that it is beef — or goat. In North Carolina they want to put coleslaw on their sandwiches, and in South Carolina they have different kinds of sauce for different geographical elevations.

Some folks eat yellow sauce on their barbecue pork, and over in Alabama I’m told they often eat theirs with white sauce.

But Jack Sweat in Soperton, Ga., knew exactly what he was doing when he started slow cooking hogs over hardwood and serving it up to appreciative customers for practically no money to speak of. You couldn’t pay $5 for a meal in Sweat’s Barbecue if you tried, and as a young man with a wife and three kids who had to sleep in a tent and cook over a fire to be able to afford five days at the beach, I appreciated that.

I never will forget, however, the time I was in Sweat’s

and watched a couple with New Jersey plates park beside me and walk into Sweat’s and order two fried shrimp dinners. It said right on the menu that you got six shrimp for $12.95 — the barbecue plate with stew and slaw and potato chips and white bread was $3.95 — and it said right on the menu that the shrimp were of the frozen and breaded variety.

I asked Mr. Sweat when I checked out why he even had such a thing on his menu and why the dish was so expensive. He told me flat out, “Nobody ever orders them but Yankees passing through,” and added, “Anybody that would order fried shrimp in a barbecue joint this far from the ocean deserves to pay $12.95.”

All good things must come to an end, and the last time I made the effort to stop in Soperton, many years ago, Sweat’s had been sold and the new proprietor had changed the name to So-andso’s Surf and Turf.

I don’t think he stayed in business long.

I can’t wait to see Phillip Blount again, though. I forgot to ask him if he took part in the Great Streak of 1974.

Readers, teachers reply to education column Maybe I have worn them out (I hope so) or maybe they have chosen to ignore me (Bad idea. That only encourages me.), but opponents of public education — including private school scholarship tax-giveaway advocates and for-profit charter school management shills — were strangely quiet after my recent open letter to Georgia’s public schoolteachers.

Maybe in the recesses of their shallow, special interestdriven hearts, they know I am correct. What is wrong with public education is not the fault of those trying to educate the next generation of Georgians. It is the fault of those of us who have let our society sink like a rock and then have decided the best solution is to run away from the problems and blame the schools.

Not surprisingly, the column generated a number of responses from readers and from schoolteachers across the state who shared a variety of thoughts on the subject.

is not private school. In life, most likely, you’ll have to deal with a wide variety of folks … not an elite group that self-segregates.” Suck on that one, Kool-Aid drinkers.

Still, many echoed this teacher from south Georgia: “It’s refreshing to know that someone who reaches ‘a lot of eyeballs each week’ can be my voice of reason when most of the country seems ready to privatize everything we know about public education. Money is not always the answer and it surely doesn’t solve the societal problems you spoke of. Kids will be back in school tomorrow in (my county) and we’ll be prepared and ready to change lives.” That is what teachers do. God bless them, one and all.

I don’t know how we got in the mess we are in, but this much I do know: Schoolteachers didn’t cause it and shouldn’t be blamed for it. I would suggest we let public schoolteachers do what they do best — teach — and get the hell out of their classroom.

As for the rest of us, we would do well to try and clean up the mess.

world&nation world Rebels: Yemen airstrike kills 22 children fleeing earlier bombing

Saudi-led coalition airstrikes killed 30 people, including 22 children, in a rebel-held area in northwestern Yemen on Thursday, according to the Houthi-controlled Health Ministry.

Four families were evacuating their homes in a vehicle when the airstrikes hit, according to Houthiowned media. Coalition airstrikes on Wednesday killed four people and injured two, according to two surviving family members who preferred to remain anonymous for security reasons.

Thursday’s airstrikes hit al-Duraihmi district, some 20 kilometers from the Red Sea city of Hodeidah, the latest flashpoint in Yemen’s ongoing war. The International Rescue Committee said airstrikes in al-Duraihmi city on Wednesday killed 13 people.

Sen. John McCain dies at 81

By Stephen Collinson CNN

Whenever America was in a fight during his long lifetime, John McCain was in the thick of it.

McCain, who has died at the age of 81, was a naval bomber pilot, prisoner of war, conservative maverick, giant of the Senate, twice-beaten presidential candidate and an abrasive American hero with a twinkle in his eye.

The Arizonan warrior politician, who survived plane crashes, several bouts of skin cancer and brushes with political oblivion, often seemed to be perpetually waging a race against time and his own mortality while striving to ensure that his five-and-a-half years as a Vietnam prisoner of war did not stand as the defining experience of his life.

He spent his last few months out of the public eye in his adopted home state of Arizona, reflecting on the meaning of his life and accepting visits from a stream of friends and old political combatants.

In a memoir published in May, McCain wrote that he hated to leave the world, but had no complaints.

“It’s been quite a ride.

I’ve known great passions, seen amazing wonders, fought in a war, and helped make peace,” McCain wrote. “I’ve lived very well

In the car was a bank envelope of 107 fake $100 bills and the gun, which was later discovered to be a carbon dioxide-powered pellet/BB gun that had been altered to look like a real handgun with an extended magazine.

Lawrenceville Police Department officers also recovered surveillance footage from the Walmart that captured the entire incident.

During trial, the victims were able to identify the people in the surveillance video, including Morris.

Gwinnett County Magistrate Court Judge Keith Miles sentenced Morris to life in prison plus 40 years.

Grayson flexes muscle in rout of Tucker

By David Friedlander david.friedlander@ gwinnettdailypost.com

LOGANVILLE — Considering it had not even played a preseason scrimmage yet, Grayson’s football team couldn’t have asked much more of dominating performance in its 2018 opener against Tucker.

The Rams dominated nearly every facet of the game in a 48-7 victory Saturday night before an appreciative crowd at Grayson Community Stadium, as well as a national television audience.

Jonathan Halyard ran for a game-high 110 yards and two touchdowns on eight carries, while quarterback J’Kori Jones accounted for 168 yards of total

offense as Grayson (1-0) outgained Tucker (0-2) by a 367-58 clip, and earned 19 first downs to the Tigers’ three.

“Our kids have definitely responded to every challenge we’ve put before them,” Grayson head coach Christian Hunnicutt said. “I can’t say enough

Streak-breaking victory brings Berkmar new confident attitude

By David Friedlander

LILBURN — Even with many observers eyeing his team’s 2018 season opener as golden opportunity to break its near five-year, 47game losing streak, firstyear Berkmar head football coach Willie Gary was taking nothing for granted heading into Friday’s game with Cross Keys.

Still, he could sense a difference in his team that he hadn’t felt before during his tenure as an assistant,

a difference that wound up being realized during the Patriots’ 44-0 win over Cross Keys at Berkmar Community Stadium — the program’s first since Sept. 13, 2013.

“These kids, they deserve it,” first-year Berkmar head coach Willie Gary said. “We’ve been working hard since last January. They’ve been working to have that feeling of what it feels like (to win).

“I felt good coming in.

We had 30 kids watching (film on) Cross Keys.

That’s when I noticed something different. They really wanted it. So they

knew they had a chance.”

Roughly five plays into the game, the Patriots

(1-0) and their fans and classmates began to have a sense that they had more than just a chance.

The defense stuffed the Cross Keys (0-1) offense to just three yards in as many plays to force a punt, and it took just four plays for Berkmar to find the end zone on a 24-yard touchdown run by Johnathan Wiley, the first of two scoring runs by the junior on the night.

“We’ve just been practicing hard and doing what the coaches tell us to do,” said Wiley, who finished

the night with 62 yards on just four carries. “We’re just taking it one step at a time and go out here grinding each and every day.

Just come out here and do what we have to do.”

As it turned out, the Patriots were methodical in that goal, outgaining the visiting Indians 352-85 in total offensive yardage, led by 106 yards on the ground

by Wiley’s younger brother Jaylen, plus a combined 91 total yards by quarterback Donte Henry.

Allgaier powers to 4th Xfinity win

By Chris Knight

NASCAR Wire Service

ELKHART LAKE, Wis. — Continuing to make the most of his banner year in the NASCAR Xfinity Series, Justin Allgaier took advantage of a mistake by James Davison in the closing laps of the Johnsonville 180 to cruise to his fourth win of the season at the 4.048-mile road course of Road America.

Allgaier who used pit strategy throughout the 45-lap event to keep his No. 7 BRANDT Chevrolet Camaro up front elected to stay out when the final caution waved at Lap 38 when Josh Bilicki crashed in Turn 12.

But with a push from Joe Gibbs Racing teammate Christopher Bell on the Lap 39 restart, Davison grabbed the lead entering Turn 1 from Allgaier — but the Australian made a mistake and overshot the corner in Turn 8 — handing the lead back to Allgaier who then cruised to a 5.303 second victory over Matt Tifft.

“The last restart there, (James Davison) kind of left before I did and (Matt Tifft) gave me a shot based on he didn’t think (Davison) was going.

I spun the tires really bad after I got hit,” Allgaier said in Victory Lane. “I thought I had gave it away.

“Then when he made the mistake down in (Turn) 8, I knew I just had to be smooth and fast. This team is awesome. I told them on the radio after the race that it was an honor to drive these race cars. I can thank everyone enough that’s on this race team and back at JR Motorsports.”

With his ninth career NASCAR Xfinity Series win and second straight win on a road course, Allgaier grabbed the points lead from

Christopher Bell with three races remaining before the Playoffs.

“This team is incredible,” added Allgaier. “They never give up. I never would have thought that we could have a dream season like this one. Wins on two road courses, would you believe that?”

Tifft, who started on pole, had his strongest run of the season after leading 12 laps and finishing runnerup.

Daniel Hemric finished third, Cole Custer was fourth and Elliott Sadler, in his likely final start at Road America, was fifth.

Justin Marks had contended for the runner-up spot but made contact with Davison with three laps to go and recovered to finish sixth. Ross Chastain grabbed seventh ahead of Davison, Brandon Jones and IMSA standout Andy Lally to round out the top-10.

IMSA and open wheel veteran Katherine Legge finished 14th after running as high as third in her second Xfinity Series start, while Bill Elliott, the NASCAR Hall of Famer who briefly came out of retirement for a one-race deal with GMS Racing, finished 20th after being in-

volved in an early race entanglement.

“I feel like I hit everything but the lottery, I mean it was a great day,” Elliott said. “I’d like to thank Xfinity, and all the guys and ISM Connect for everything they did for me here today. It was a heck of a lot of fun.

“I just felt like I needed more like through (Turns) 9 and 10 and the carousel to carry any speed through there. I just felt like I gave up too much in (Turn) 3, I wasn’t too bad in 5, 6, 7, 8. I got a little bit free in 11, all in all it was a good day.”

Tifft led every lap in Stage 1 which ended in a one-lap shootout following the crash of Ryan Reed in Turn 3 on lap seven.

Staying out at the end of the stage, Brendan Gaughan inherited the race lead for the onset of Stage 2 but quickly lost the top spot to Austin Cindric who qualified eighth but started at the rear of the field.

Cindric’s time at the top was short lived, however, after the Team Penske driver experienced mechanical woes and dropped from the race at Lap 17.

“It just blew up,” Cindric said.

“At least we blew up in the lead. We had a real fast car. It’s unfortunate.

We have to look back and see what happened. It wasn’t a missed shift in the race.

“There was a lot of debris on the track, maybe we got some debris caught up in the car. It just wasn’t meant to be today.”

Hemric never relinquished the lead for the Lap 18 restart holding off Tifft for his third stage win of 2018.

With Hemric and Tifft taking their opportunity to pit during the stage break, Justin Allgaier stayed from third and led the 40-car field back to the green for the start of Stage 3.

“The more they can be watching you, the more you can prove yourself to them. That’s definitely a big goal of mine.”

It’s safe to say that was the goal shared by all who were invited. That list included an impressive and diverse sample of the country’s young talent. In addition to Love, Zamora, Carrick and Truedson, were Californian Maria Cofer, 19; Holley Hollan, 16, of Oklahoma; Jessica Dana, 23, of Charlotte, N.C., and Lexi Gay, 17, of Canton.

Under the watchful and discriminating eyes of Toyota Racing executives such as Irving and Huddleston, the drivers went through a pretty intense schedule. There was classroom training on Monday, eight practice sessions and a pair of qualifying sessions on Tuesday, followed by four 75-lap races and culminating with a 50-lap Championship Race on Wednesday.

If perhaps a bit intimidating on paper, the intense schedule was something the participants genuinely appreciated. This was “show time.”

“The knowledge, time and talent that the guys who were helping us have, beats a trophy,” said Holley “Holleywood” Hollan, a 16-year-old micro sprint and midget driver.

“That’s stuff you can never really get taken away. You can’t lose that.

Sometimes it’s better to not have a materialistic award at the end. I feel like I have gained a lot in the combine as well as a lot of other people. Even the drivers who race asphalt full-time,

I feel like they’ve taken a lot from this and Toyota has it going on. …

“It’s pretty special to see what they’ve been doing with everyone. And to see this firsthand, I knew it was special, but seeing it firsthand is pretty awesome.”

Another of the combine’s invitees, 23-year old Jessica Dana, was a 2012 member of NASCAR’s Drive for Diversity Program. She is the driver who beat Pastrana and Gordon in a charity kart race as a 15-year old, and she came away from this week’s Toyota experience feeling grateful for the opportunity and optimistic about its benefits. Just the invite was an encouraging sign for her career.

“It was an honor to be a part of this,” said Dana, who is racing late models on the east coast now.

“Every up and coming driver wants to be affiliated with Toyota because the amount they put into their development program and its drivers.

“It’s such a big opportunity and they’ve helped us out so much. Being able to come here to a track I’ve never seen before and cars I’ve never even heard about before, I’ve learned so much.”

The good news for all the participants is that not only did they learn a lot in the ultimate racing crash course, but the Toyota executives left the experience feeling equally as educated about some of the country’s brightest young talent — having put the combine participants through some legitimately tough trials.

yards on Mill Creek’s first offensive play. On the next snap, Parker Wroble raced 18 yards for a touchdown when the game was less than two minutes old.

Wroble was a key piece of the offense as a runner (11 rushes, 55 yards) and receiver (three catches, 77 yards).

On Dacula’s next possession, R.J. Smith intercepted an overthrown screen pass and raced 21 yards for the TD and a 14-0 lead, powering through tacklers to get through the final two yards.

“We had a lot of momentum at the beginning,” Jarvis said. “Part of the stuff this week, we want our defense to create turnovers and score. And then they go out there and do it on the second series. What I’m most pleased with is R.J., we had worked that play all week. R.J. played it fundamentally, played it exactly like we worked on it.”

Black Knights turn tables to take down Lanier 35-7 From Staff Reports LAWRENCEVILLE — Central Gwinnett flipped the script on Lanier Friday night as the Black Knights seized the momentum early on the way to a 35-7 win.

Both teams played a near opposite game from last week, as Central then struggled offensively with five turnovers in a 14-7 loss to South Gwinnett.

Meanwhile, Lanier seemed to be infallible in a 47-0 win over Peachtree Ridge.

That wasn’t the case on Friday as Central capitalized on numerous Longhorn mistakes.

“All we harped on all week was protecting the football and not turning the ball over,” Central coach Todd Wofford said.

“Our quarterback (Justin Fomby) had a good week of practice and played a very good game bouncing back from last week with no turnovers. (Running back) Justin Wilkins is a man and can do a little bit of everything, and Kameron King had a really big game at receiver.”

Fomby completed 18 of 28 passes for 255 yards and a touchdown to help lead the Knights’ attack. It was a stark contrast to his performance in the loss to South a week ago.

“A lot of critics wanted to play Monday morning quarterback and say decide what we should do at the quarterback position,” Wofford said. “That’s my job, to get him prepared each week. That’s all we talked about was not turning the ball over and he did that. Last week was the first time he started a game and that position comes with a lot of pressure. He didn’t handle it well last week, but tonight he did.”

Justin Wilkins plowed in from 2 yards out to give the Knights a 16-7 lead in the second quarter, then added scoring runs of 3 and 1 yard in the third and fourth quarter to further extend the lead. He finished with 78 yards on 19 carries with three touchdowns.

Leading the charge for the Black Knights was a hard-hitting defense highlighted by linebackers Kevon Blackwood and Aubrey Smith. The Knights also made big plays on special teams with a punt block

by Xavier Crosby that was recovered by Ellis. Lanier quarterback Zach Calzada scored on a 1-yard TD for the Longhorns’ (1-1) only score, but faced a heavy pressure from Central for most of the game and took several big hits. After one

Grayson •From Page 1B about our kids and how resilient they are and how focused they are. … We ask our kids to perform at a high level, and our kids responded.”

Grayson established its dominance from the first possession of the game by marching 72 yards in 11 plays and taking 4:09 off the clock.

Jones completed 4 of 7 passes during the drive, including capping it with a 15-yard scoring strike to Ryan King to put the Rams up 6-0 with 7:39 left in the first quarter.

While Grayson had some early issues with its kicking game, an extra point that bounced off the upright and a snap that sailed over the holder’s head on the point after another score, special teams did have its moment in between those two miscues.

Tyler Hughes bolted up the middle to block a Tucker punt attempt, allowing Marvin Smith to pounce on the loose ball for a touchdown to make the Rams’ lead 12-0 with 5:22 left in the opening frame.

The only other negative for Grayson in the first half came after senior Ronald Thompkins fell to the turf at the end of a 22-yard gain

late in the quarter, and he needed help getting off the field with an injury to his left knee.

The Nebraska-committed running back did not return, but Halyard came on in relief and the Grayson running game didn’t miss a beat.

The senior ran three times for the final 16 yards of an eight-play, 51-yard drive, the last run from 6 yards out, to expand the Rams’ lead to 20-0 following Jones’ two-point pass to Jamal Haynes.

“Ronald’s a great player,” Halyard said of Thompkins, who had run for 51 yards on five carries before being injured.

“I love him. That’s my brother. … So I’m going to try my best to pick my brother up. We’ve been working very hard at practice the last three weeks, even though we didn’t have a scrimmage.

“We really let loose (Saturday) night. I’m happy for my brothers. We’ve got to get ready for the next game coming up.”

Meanwhile, the Grayson defense kept the pressure on throughout the game with a team effort, limiting Tucker to just two plays that gained more than 2 yards in the first half, including seven for negative yardage.

In fact, the Tigers didn’t cross midfield until 5:08 left in the third quarter, and didn’t earn a first down until the next-to-last play of that period.

top of virtually every Atlanta United 2 player, but Gaither and Indy Eleven defender Reiner Ferreira played it off his head, intending to play it back to goalkeeper Owain Fon Williams and potentially put three points on ice for Indy.

Gaither got a helpful bounce that allowed him to make a crucial touch to round Williams, and he found himself alone with a virtually empty goal in front of him.

Gaither, who turned 18 years old Aug. 13, finished with the composure of one of the USL veterans he shared the field with. Moments like that are what he trains for, he said.

“You work every day so you can easily get great touches,” Gaither said.

“You’re not really thinking about it. It just happens.”

The finish was somewhat poetic considering the situation the squad was in at the start of the match.

The club was particularly thin defensively because of the MLS side’s need for experienced players on the back line. Injuries thrust McDonald and Luke Mitchell in their pro debuts. Gaither and McDonald have been teammates since both were 10 years old.

Head coach Scott Donnelly said no matter what the result was, his message post-game would have touted his club’s stellar performance after a 5-1 loss to FC Cincinnati on Wednesday. Atlanta Unit-

and his Norcross teams “own.” These things, like competitive practices, player accountability and character are as inherent in the Norcross basketball program as the Blue Devil mascot.

It’s priorities like these that McMillan learned from his mentors and coaching clinics like Saturday’s, hosted by Berkmar grad and East Jackson head basketball coach David Akin and his organization, Team Belief.

“The foundation of my philosophy was formulated with my time with coach (Eddie) Martin when we were at Norcross together for six years,” McMillan said. “A lot of the foundations that he helped me set are in place. Over the years you build. I’ve gotten a ton of stuff from clinics, trial and error. But I really learned a lot from visiting practices, trying to identify college programs that try to run the same things you do, or want to do.”

The clinic, held in the Paul Duke STEM High School gymnasium, is one of several events Team Belief hosts, providing basketball opportunities to metro-Atlanta area athletes and strengthening the network of prep basketball coaches in the state.

“I think it’s apparent that these guys are eager to help,” Akin said. “Sitting on a couch on a Saturday is refreshing, but there will be a point in your life when you need help from someone. … When you see a coach at one clinic, then another, then another, now you have a relationship to start. That’s when these coaches can be that much more valuable.”

The clinic hosted lectures, drill demonstrations and question-and-answer sessions with four historically successful and established coaches — McMillan, former Berkmar coach David Boyd, Pace Academy’s Sharman White and Maynard Jackson’s Doug Lipscomb — in addition to a local referee, athletic directors and Gwinnett County Athletics Director Jon Weyher.

ed 2 possessed the ball 56 percent of the second half, took 15 total shots to Indy’s seven and four on target. The equalizer sweetened the result, and made for a well-deserved ending, Donnelly said.

“We bring Dylan on, and the thought is they (Gaither and McDonald) are used to playing with each other,” Donnelly said.

That all-hands-on-deck mentality caused a midmatch shuffle of positions (Andrew Kendall-Moullin from midfield to center back and Metcalf from left back into the midfield) granted forward Jon Gallagher — typically

a forward — a second start at right back and the club played in a 4-4-2 formation for the second consecutive match.

The match was Atlanta United 2’s first point since a draw on the road against Richmond Kickers on June 21. It capped a twogame homestand before the club’s final three road matches of the season.

Atlanta United 2 returns home Sept. 21 against North Carolina FC, where it will finish the final eight matches at Coolray Field.

The loss of two points for Indy Eleven could prove costly as it sits in the middle of the playoff table with 40 points. The

draw for Atlanta United 2 (3-13-7) was more of a moral victory for a club that has gone long stretches with more possession advantage, but few goals to show for it.

“It’s no secret, we’re not where we want to be on the table,” captain Jack Metcalf said. “We knick a goal in a few games and we’re definitely higher on the table. I think, like I said, we looked at ourselves and said, ‘No matter what, we’re going to keep fighting.’ That was the motto and message before the game. For an academy kid to get a goal at the end is, I think, what this club is all about.”

Berkmar •From Page 1B But even though they were facing an outmanned Cross Keys team that dressed just 18 players, that didn’t take away from the effort the team gave in the victory.

Nor did it diminish the feeling of victory — one not felt at Berkmar for nearly five years — when students charged the field in celebration when the clock finally ran out.

“It feels great,” said Wiley, who has been part of the Patriots’ program for the last 20 of those losses before the streak was broken Friday. “We’ve been grinding for the whole summer, and it finally paid off. I just can’t thank the coaches, the (offen-

The Patriots are hopeful it won’t take another five years for them to feel so great after a game, and given how their preRegion 7-AAAAAAA

schedule isn’t as brutal as it has been in recent years, there is a real opportunity for even more wins this season, beginning with this upcoming Friday’s game at Lithia Springs.

However, Gary is taking

handle Tucker’s misdirection in the running game, and in particular, shutting down running back Tyler Hughey, who was stifled for minus-2 yards on six carries.

“We knew a lot of their big plays came from (Hughey),” the Auburncommitted senior said.

“They like to run that counter, so that was a big emphasis for us in practice this week. Just watch (Hughey) on the cutback.

We ate it up all game long.”

The Grayson offense then continued to eat up yardage and points, with Jones scoring on a 14-yard TD with 6:18 left in the first half to give the Rams a 34-0 lead heading into intermission.

Halyard then busted off a 50-yard TD run in the first two minutes of the third quarter, while Jones, who finished the night 11 of 21 for 142 yards and 26 yards on the ground, finished his night with his second TD pass, a 29-yard completion to Kenyon Jackson to make the score 48-0 with 6:04 left in the third quarter.

Tucker finally got on the board when Latavius Jackson scored on a 13-yard touchdown run with 10:49 remaining.

nothing for granted, with his postgame message to his team emphasizing the team’s “24-hour rule” allowing his players to celebrate until they came back Saturday for the postgame film session.

Still, based on what he’s seen so far since taking over as head coach in January, there is a different, more confident atmosphere around the team.

“These kids are showing up (ready to play),” Gary said. “In the past, attendance issues is one of the things we struggled with. But these kids are showing up, and they’re coming to work every day. It’s some difference.

I’ve got a bunch of kids that are different. They’re ready to hit.”

“When you get to a point when you’re looking at that next job, especially jumping from an assistant to a varsity head coach, a lot of the interview process is not about how to attack the 1-3-1 zone. Are you going to be able to handle the other stuff that comes with being a head coach — dealing with parents, booster clubs, those things.”

Wyher was at the first edition of the clinic last year in Atlanta, and he provided advice regarding how a good candidate for a head coaching position can conduct a varsity basketball program.

The clinic was also evidence of a rich network of basketball coaches within the state. Boyd was Akin’s coach during Akin’s senior year at Berkmar when the Patriots captured one of the program’s back-to-back state titles.

That relationship with his former coach was important for Akin landing his first assistant coaching job in Gwinnett, and he encourages new coaches to strengthen the networks of communication with opportunities such as Saturday’s clinic.

North Gwinnett athletic director Matt Champito, Peachtree Ridge’s Ryan Lesniak and Parkview’s Nick Gast were part of an afternoon AD roundtable.

Several head coaches and assistants were spectators as well, including Duluth’s Cabral Huff.

In the clinic’s second year, Akin said he’s learned how to best find intriguing, entertaining guests for the coaches clinic who will not only provide valuable advice but be a personality attendees want to meet and network with.

“That’s why we have the four coaches in the morning session today because at the end of the day these guys have been successful with championships, guys playing at the next level, and their communities,” Akin said.

Jaguars top Falcons, lose Lee Chen, Marlins down Braves Field Level Media

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Quarterback Blake Bortles, in what is expected to be his final tuneup for the NFL regular season, completed 17 of 23 passes for 204 yards, leading host Jacksonville to a 17-6 victory against Atlanta (0-3) on Saturday night.

The Jaguars (2-1) also received 57 yards on 10 carries from running back Leonard Fournette, who scored one touchdown.

Jacksonville wide receiver Marqise Lee left the game in the first quarter with a gruesome knee injury after he was hit low by Atlanta safety Damontae Kazee, who was penalized on the play.

Lee, the Jaguars’ top receiver who had 56 catches for 702 yards and three touchdowns in 2017, might be lost for the season, according to multiple reports.

DeChambeau seizes four-shot lead Field Level Media PARAMUS, N.J. — Bryson DeChambeau carded a career-low 8-underpar 63 on Saturday to seize a four-shot lead at 16 under after three rounds of play at The Northern Trust at Ridgewood Country Club in Paramus, N.J., the first of the PGA Tour’s four FedExCup Playoff events.

Keegan Bradley fashioned a 62 on Saturday to move up 31 spots into second place at 12 under.

Bradley’s shot total was the lowest score of the week and tied the course record set by Hunter Mahan in 2008.

DeChambeau holds the largest 54-hole lead at The Northern Trust in the FedExCup era.

“I knew that if I wanted to be on top of the leaderboard then I was going to have to take it deep today, and that’s what I did,” DeChambeau told CBS Sports after the round. “I brought some confidence this week. We are all just trying to figure things out.”

Australia’s Cameron Smith (65) and Tony Finau (66, including a hole-out eagle from the fairway on the par-4 12th) are tied for third at 11 under, five shots off DeChambeau’s pace.

Billy Horschel’s 65 boosted his standing 19 spots into a tie for fifth place with Australia’s Adam Scott, who fashioned a 70 on Saturday

after birdieing three of his last four holes.

Seven players finished the third round at 9 under, including U.S. Open and PGA Tournament champion Brooks Koepka (72), Jordan Spieth (64), Beau Hossler (66), Chez Reavie (67), Patrick Cantlay (68), Phil Mickelson (68) and Canada’s Adam Hadwin (68).

Koepka held a share of the lead entering the day with Jamie Lovemark, who stumbled to a 73 and dropped into a tie for 14th at 8 under.

World No. 1 Dustin Johnson (72), the defending champion of this tournament, is in a tie for 20th at 7 under.

Tiger Woods had a 68 on Saturday to climb into a tie for 49th place.

It was Woods’ first bogey-free round on the PGA Tour since The Greenbrier

in 2015.

After the round, Woods admitted that he’s too far back to win but set a goal to get to 10 under, which would take a 64 in the final round.

“That would be a nice way to end the week,” Woods said. “It’s not going to win, but at least I can get some good momentum going into Boston and on a golf course that I’ve won before.”

DeChambeau, who began the day tied for fourth place, had nine birdies and one bogey on his thirdround scorecard. He made the turn in 4-under 31 and picked up four shots on the back nine, ending with birdies on the par-5 17th and par-4 18th.

Players on the PGA Tour with a lead of four or more shots after 54 holes have gone on to win almost 81

percent of the time.

DeChambeau is in search of his second win of the season — he won the Memorial Tournament on June 3 — and the third victory of his PGA Tour career. DeChambeau is currently ranked No. 21 in the World Golf Rankings.

DeChambeau ranks ninth in the Ryder Cup standings and is trying impress U.S. captain Jim Furyk enough to earn one of the squad’s four captain’s picks. A win this week would be impossible for Furyk to ignore.

“I’m on a mission (to be on the Ryder Cup team),” DeChambeau said. “It’s been a lot of work but all in all it’s been a great year overall. I’ve struggled a little here and there and recently I’ve just tried to focus and grind and get it back on the driving range.”

Bradley forged a bogeyfree round on Saturday, birdieing his first three holes, adding another three-birdie stretch starting at No. 12 and closing the round with back-to-back birdies to move into contention for his first PGA Tour victory since 2012.

“I can’t remember the last time I felt that calm and together the whole round from the very first tee,” said Bradley, the 2011 PGA Championship winner. “I actually felt calmer as the day went on. It’s not really normally the case with me. That was fun.”

Couple’s Lawrenceville record shop a family affair

BY FRANK REDDY

Staff Correspondent

Co-owner Tony Seminara, right, chats with customer Chris Martin recently at Depot Records, located at 470 N. Clayton St. in Lawrenceville.

Above, Stacey Seminara rings up a vinyl record purchased by Will Aymerich on a recent afternoon at Depot Records. Stacey and husband, Tony, own the Lawrenceville shop. Left, customer Michael Hildebrand flips through vinyl records during a recent afternoon at Depot Records.

Back when they lived in New York, Stacey and Tony Seminara used to spend afternoons in college stocking vinyl and working behind the counter of a chain record store inside a mall.

“We never thought we’d still be doing the same thing 30 years later,” said Tony, laughing.

He and his wife now live in Gwinnett County and, together, they run Depot Records in Lawrenceville.

It’s a bit different now for the Northern transplants, whose local record store has been open for three years (though not located in a mall) and recently expanded its sales floor. They’ve got two grown sons and a daughter. They’ve got careers: Stacey is an accountant, and Tony repairs printers.

That’s why their store on North Clayton Street is only open weekends; it’s the only time the two aren’t working their day jobs or staying busy with family.

Stacey said the duo, who moved to Gwinnett in 1995, doesn’t consider the store a job, really, more along the lines of an “expensive, fun hobby … that other people can also enjoy.”

“It doesn’t bring in a lot of money, but it covers its own,” Stacey said as she and her husband gave a tour of the store (with Bad Company’s “Can’t Get Enough of Your Love” thumping through stereo speakers).

Tony started collecting records decades ago, and when he amassed such a collection his own home could no longer contain it, the Seminara family started selling vinyl at record shows.

“It got to the point where we had so many records, we needed a venue just to store them, so we started out downstairs (of the old train depot building),” Tony said.

2018 gave the business 50 percent more space, Tony said.

The fun of owning a store brimming in cardboard boxes at any given time with about 25,000 records? “I get to dig through albums and buy and sell them,” Tony said, smiling. “It’s as simple as that.”

He said many of the store’s clients come from Atlanta, the Athens area or, of course, Gwinnett County. Many of the store’s frequent customers feel the Seminaras are doing it right.

Michael Hildebrand of Flowery Branch, for instance — a self-professed “metal-head” and member of local metal band Still Warning — said Depot Records is “one of the few good record stores around, and good record stores are few and far between. When I find a good one like this, I try to support them.”

Will Aymerich of Lilburn said listening to vinyl is a lost art and the owners of stores like Depot Records are keeping it alive. The good customer service and

Vinyl knowhow also keep him coming back.

“The selection here, the people who work here and the fact that they actually know what they’re buying. They know when they’ve got something good,” Aymerich said.

He said records are a cut above all other mediums of music listening.

“Having something physical in your hands like this makes a difference,” Aymerich said, gesturing toward an original master recording of Pink Floyd’s “Dark Side of the Moon” he purchased moments earlier.

“There’s a ritual,” Aymerich said. “Back in the day, listening to an album was a ritual. You had your friends come over because not everybody could afford to buy new records. So, they went to the friend who bought it, got some sodas … sat down, listened to the whole thing front and back and then talked about it.”

Added Aymerich: “Music since the ’90s has become disposable. You pop in the CD, listen … and it’s all about the hit song.”

Tony said he feels

record stores like his are “helping the older bands reach new audiences.”

One of Depot Records’ main demographics, he said, is young people between 15 and 25 years old.

“Here we are, listening to Bad Company, and it’s not uncommon for a young teenager to come in here with his parents, and he’ll end up buying, for instance, a Bad Company record,” Tony said.

Co-owner and wife Stacey said she feels the key to running a record store well is “constantly changing up the inventory, always getting new stuff.”

In the end, though, she said, it’s all about the people.

“Everyone loves discussing music. You find out you have a lot in common, and what you don’t have in common leads you to learn new things about the music.

It’s a lot of fun,” she said.

Depot Records is located at 470 North Clayton St., Suite 200, Lawrenceville. The store is open on weekends only — from noon to 10 p.m.

Saturday and noon to 8 p.m. Sunday.

DULUTH Duluth named best city for millennials The city of Duluth is one of the best Atlanta suburbs for millennials, according to the website Thrillist.com.

The Atlanta area is experiencing the thirdlargest population gain in the country, after Houston and Dallas, according to Thrillist.com.

“Millennials continue to be the most active generation of buyers for five consecutive years now,” Bill Rawlings, an Atlanta real estate agent, said in the article. “Contrary to popular belief, they are buying into the suburbs as opposed to in or near the city.”

The Gwinnett Place Mall was one of the reasons Duluth made the list, which the website called “a destination for weekend shopping.”

Also among the reasons: the concerts and theatrical performances at the Infinite Energy Center, the Korean barbecue restaurants and Super H Mart, the Duluth Arts Festival, Food Truck Friday events and Duluth Town Green.

To see the complete list, visit www.thrillist.com/stateof-the-suburbs/atlanta.

nificance of the Eastern Continental Divide to the city of Norcross, the city said in a press release.

The “Greetings from Norcross” mural is designed by Atomic Wash, a Norcross-based digital marketing and branding agency.

The 16-foot-wide mural is designed in the style of Americana travel postcards, and will cover the large red brick wall of the building the agency shares with Paizano’s Italian Restaurant, along Wingo Street and facing the railroad tracks.

The mural is a colorful vinyl adhesive material installed via heat transfer to the bricks and will last several years before needing to be refreshed, the city said.

City officials said the design celebrates eight iconic people and places in Norcross history, becoming a piece that is both aesthetically interesting and educational for visitors and residents alike.

Officials have not announced what time the unveiling will take place Sept. 30.

What your words reveal about your priorities How do you spend your talking time? You might be surprised at what other people think matters to you.

When my youngest daughter was in kindergarten, I volunteered in her classroom every other Friday.

One day, the kids were making Mother’s Day presents. The teacher prompted them with “What are your mommy’s favorite things to do?” The kids drew pictures

Forget Perfect

It was my job to staple the drawings together to make a little book. Naturally, I read them. All of them.

Two themes emerged.

According to a group of a 5- and 6-year-olds, their mothers’ favorite things to do were cleaning and sleeping.

Clearly this merited Lisa McLeod further investigation. Who were these strange women? and wrote words about what “Um, Lauren, sweetie, their moms love the most. tell me more about this

someone who cares passionately about customers, or students, or the people your organization is there to serve? Or is it a transcript of complaints, problems, and internal metrics?

The words of the leader tell the team what matters. A common complaint we hear frequently is: I care about our clients, guests, students, etc., but all my boss cares about is money, problems, test scores etc. It’s a shame because the boss may care passionately about the people their organization serves. Yet their daily language doesn’t reflect it.

One of our clients, Amanda Harrington, vice president of Foundation Supportwork, a foundation repair network, describes how they relentlessly use language to elevate their culture: “Our purpose is to redefine our industry.”

When many people call a contractor, they get mixed results. Contractors often don’t show, pricing can be iffy; they don’t have the best reputation as an industry.

Foundation Supportworks aims to change that. They’re

out to set a new, higher standard for contractors.

Their leaders’ language reflects their higher purpose, every single day. Harrington says, “It’s not just that we talk about redefining our industry. We show people what that means. And we do it over and over again.”

You can see Amanda discuss how FSI became a Best Place to Work, in our latest LinkedIn Learning course called “Finding Your Purpose At Work.” In the course, Harrington describes how to use language to shape organizational belief.

When you’re the leader, your words create the soundtrack for your organization. Your team is listening, and they’re drawing conclusions about what matters here.

If you’re not giving voice to your values and purpose, people are probably misreading you. Ask yourself, what do words tell my team about what I believe?

Lisa McLeod is the global expert in Noble Purpose.

She is the author of the bestsellers “Selling with Noble Purpose” and “Leading with Noble Purpose.”

mommy of yours. How do you know her favorite things to do are cleaning and sleeping?”

“Jason, do tell about all this cleaning and sleeping.

How do you know they’re your mom’s favorite hobbies?”

The answers were all the same.

“She talks about it all the time. She’s always saying: ‘We have got to clean up around here, we have got to clean up. And if she’s not talking about cleaning she’s saying, I am so tired, I have got to get more sleep.’”

The words of the leader matter. Cleaning and sleeping were given the most airtime, so the kids assumed they were the favorites.

Whatever you give voice to the majority of the time is going to be what people assume is the most important thing to you.

The same principle applies at work. Ask yourself, if someone created a transcript of your talks around the office, how would the narrative read? What would people think matter most to you? Do your words reveal

Officials at Duluthbased Rocket IT said getting named to Inc. maga-

zine’s Inc. 5000 list just one time is considered a prestigious honor, but it is starting to become old hat for the Gwinnett County information technology firm.

The firm was recently named to the 2018 list, and it marks the third year in a row that the company has received the recognition.

Rocket IT was ranked No. 3,660 on this year’s list, which company officials said highlights the fastestgrowing businesses in the country that are helping to generate forward momentum in the economy on a daily basis.

“We strive every day to help our clients thrive. It is at the core of who we are,” Rocket IT Business Development Manager Ryan Bonilla said in a statement.

“Only when we help others first can we thrive ourselves. We are most excited at making this list again because it is further evidence that we are succeeding at fulfilling our purpose.”

Rocket IT officials said it is rare for a company to make the list in multiple years. Last year, it was ranked No. 3,571 and it had a ranking of No. 3,686 in 2016.

Memories of simple times on Rural Route One When I was a child growing up, our address was simply Rural Route One. Our road had no proper name and, for the first five years of my life, we shared a phone line with Ronda others.

It was called a party Rich line. It rang distinctively for each family, so when Let’s count the rings and the phone shrilled, Mama see if it’s ours.”

I believe our signal was would always say, “Wait.

two short rings and one long one. When I was 6 and we were awarded a private line by the phone company, it was a happy day. Especially since our party line had been shared by my first grade teacher and once she, rightly, suspected that I had been listening in on her conversation. In my mind, I was doing nothing wrong. I was simply

doing what I do today — I was gathering stories for retelling.

The best part about having a private line was that I was then able to call a local bank that had a recording that answered with a rooster crowing then announced the time and temperature. That rooster was the only person I knew to call.

In those days, we never locked the doors. There was no air conditioning so we counted on the opened windows, doors, shade trees, and the gentle breeze that would drift in from the creek for cooling.

It is impossible to cast a number on the summer nights that we slept with the doors opened wide, the coolness of the evening and the smell of honeysuckle vines flowing through the screen doors. We slept soundly and securely. There was no fear.

When I was 11, we took the only trip of my childhood to visit family who had escaped the hopelessness of the mountains to find work in West Virginia. Before we left, no one could find a key for the house because it had never been

locked. So for two weeks, it was left open. When we returned, the grass needed mowing but nothing in our home had been touched.

When Mama and Daddy grew older, perhaps because their advanced age made them less certain that Daddy could grab his shotgun quick enough, they began to lock the doors. Times had changed. They had three phones, a machine that answered if they were unavailable, city water lines replaced the trusty well and the quiet road in front of their house had grown busier.

It was given a name and my childhood home was anointed with a number.

The address of Rural Route One would soon fade into the memories of some while it would never to be known by many.

Sometimes, I’ll be surprised at the things that people don’t know.

How they never heard tell of Clark Gable or Hank Williams or how WSM radio in Nashville was once owned by a large insurance company, or that the call letters stand for “We Shield Millions.”

Sometimes, when people

look dumbfounded at me and say, “Who is that?”

I reply, “Well, I grew up on Rural Route One and I know who that is.”

Particularly, I like to say that to people in New York City or Los Angeles.

Things are a lot different at Mama and Daddy’s house now. I go there to find a quiet place to write because I still love the smell of the honeysuckle vines, the banging of the screen door, and the feel of a phone that is corded, anchored to the wall.

Now, there is an alarm system with cameras and motion detectors that alert Tink’s cellphone.

We can talk to people at the front door by video camera. And, to top that off, Deputy Calvin keeps a close eye on the place, leaving us notes that he signs C.O.P. That means Calvin on Patrol.

It may have a proper name and address now but it will always be sweet Rural Route One to me.

Millennial cluelessness doesn’t surprise me Alexandria OcasioCortez, the self-proclaimed “democratic socialist” and “girl from the Bronx” (except not really), has recently become a household name.

That’s not merely because the 28-year-old former barista is on the verge of becoming the youngest member of Congress, which is the kind of rags-to-riches story Americans love.

Unfortunately, she’s probably better known for making inane, economically illiterate statements such as “the unemployment rate is so low because everyone has two jobs.” She also declared that “Medicare for All” will save money on funerals.

All this despite her

Rob Jenkins expensive Boston University degree in, um, economics — for which, by the way, she is still paying.

As a college professor for over three decades, I find none of this surprising. For the last 12 years or so, especially, I’ve noticed a definite trend among my millennial students toward what psychologists call magical thinking.

Of course, that’s always been a trait of adolescents, but today’s version seems more dangerous because apparently it’s being reinforced (instead of corrected) by their high school teachers and other professors.

For example, I’ve long used an assignment in my introductory rhetoric course that requires students to identify a specific problem, argue that it needs to be addressed, and then offer viable solutions based on research.

I try to steer them away from what I call “headline topics,” like abortion and gun control, hoping they’ll focus instead on issues where they have some “skin in the game.”

For example, there was

the budding ballerina who explored the issue of anorexia among top dancers.

Unfortunately, many students choose “headline topics” anyway — climate change being a current favorite — not because they’re deeply interested in them, but because they believe such topics will be easier to research and write about.

That usually turns out to be a mistake.

A bigger problem, though, lies with their “solutions,” which typically involve government edicts, government programs, and large quantities of government spending.

In our pre-draft, oneon-one conferences, I ask questions like “How

Meet Cedar. This eightmonth-old cutie has a bit of grey on his face, so he might fool you into thinking he’s an older gentleman, but this guy is still 100 percent puppy.

His big, bright eyes and lovely brindle coat are striking and are a perfect compliment to his captivating personality. He loves playing with other dogs and would enjoy having one in his future home. He’s learning leash manners, working on potty-training, and has already mastered a few basic commands. He’ll do just about anything for a treat, and he loves to pose for the camera.

So if you’re looking for a dog to up your social media credibility, Cedar is your guy. He’s available for adoption at the Atlanta Humane Society’s Mansell Campus, which is located at 1565 Mansell Road in Alpharetta.

MONDAY

WEDNESDAY

10:07 p.m. on AMC Preacher In the Season 3 finale, Jesse (Dominic Cooper) returns to his home for what he desperately hopes will be the very last time, but in doing so, he makes Herr Starr (Pip Torrens) very angry and puts Cassidy (Joseph Gilgun) in mortal danger yet again. He can’t turn to his lady love Tulip (Ruth Negga) for much help, either, given that she has her hands full battling the infernal forces of hell, plus a throng of Nazis.

9 p.m. on AMC Better Call Saul “Talk” is the title of this new episode, and also something of a cheap commodity to an increasingly restless and unmoored Jimmy (Bob Odenkirk), as he embarks on a new venture. Elsewhere, Mike (Jonathan Banks) seems to be torching one bridge after another, while Kim (Rhea Seehorn) decides to follow her bliss. Meanwhile, Nacho (Michael Mando) frets over whether he can survive an escalating turf war.

10:01 p.m. on ABC The Proposal During its summer run, this “Bachelor”-and“Bachelorette”—on-speeddial has gotten its share of attention ... and not necessarily all of it favorable.

However, those who like it probably will show up for this season finale, which gives a woman nine chances at romance with contenders who can’t see her. Said proposal is the result, and as everyone is aware, nothing says lasting love like knowing a person for

one hour (minus commercials).

Jesse Palmer is the host.

8:30 p.m. on ABC American Housewife A “Field Day” at school becomes much more than a standard competition for Katie (Katy Mixon) in an episode by that title. She’s determined to use the event to prove her worth to the other moms. Greg (Diedrich Bader) is concerned with another contest — a chili cook-off — and when he seeks the help of Taylor’s )Meg Donnelly) boyfriend in getting the family recipe ready, she isn’t pleased.

THURSDAY

during the first season anyway.

10 p.m. on FX Snowfall Teddy and Matt (Carter Hudson, Jonathan Tucker) unexpectedly run into some company as they’re trying to take steps to get their business back on track in the new episode “The World Is Yours.” Elsewhere, when an employee steps out of line, Franklin (Damson Idris) tries to remind his crew that business must come first, and Lucia and Gustavo (Emily Rios, Sergio Peris-Mencheta) extend an offer.

10 p.m. on ABC Castaways Rapidly dwindling resources mean trouble for Matt as he tries to reach other parts of the island in the new episode “Three’s a Crowd,” while Sawyer and Richard start to wonder if meeting others would impact their own chances to finish their challenge successfully. Tim and Krichelle become more unified, but someone reaches the end of his or her island experience.

8 p.m. on ABC The Gong Show The reboot of the decidedly offbeat game show ends its second season as Ken Jeong (“Community”), Chelsea Peretti (“Brooklyn Nine-Nine”) and Adam Devine (“Pitch Perfect”) form the celebrity panel judging the unusual acts that take the stage. For the program’s sophomore round, no secret has been made that host “Tommy Maitland” actually is Mike Myers — which many people guessed

8 p.m. on CW Masters of Illusion Host Dean Cain welcomes magicians Joseph Gabriel, Ed Alonzo, Andi Gladwin, Joel Meyers, Chris Korn, Joshua Jay and Jason Bishop for a new episode called “The Mind Freaks and the Million Dollar Trick.” As usual, these illusionists entertain their studio audience with a diverse array of acts, some pleasantly confounding, others comical.

Another episode follows.

TUESDAY

FRIDAY

SATURDAY 9:45 p.m. on TCM Movie: Captain Blood This 1935 adventure showcases Errol Flynn at his swashbuckling best. The plot may put you in mind of “Gladiator” — successful guy-turned-slave becomes a world-class butt kicker. In this case, he’s a doctor who’s sold into slavery, escapes and resurfaces as a pirate.

And with the lovely Olivia de Havilland as his leading lady, how can you go wrong? The studio powers that be agreed, as they cast the pair in seven more movies together.

Berkmar receives $20,000 donation from Quavo Berkmar Principal Al Taylor recalls going through the mail this summer and coming across an envelope addressed from Quavious Keyate Marshall, better known as Quavo from the rap group Migos. Upon opening it he found a letter and a check for $20,000.

Before rapping verses and writing songs such as “Versace,” “Bad and Boujee” and “Fight Night,” Quavo was dogging defenders as quarterback of the Berkmar football team.

Although he hasn’t been at Berkmar in nearly a decade, his support of the Lilburn school hasn’t waned.

“The times that I’ve had a chance to converse with him, he’s got a love with Berkmar and staff members,” Taylor said. “The fact that he travels around the world and still thinks about here is inspiring to the kids here.”

Giving back to the Berkmar community came to a head this year with the

donation came as a complete suprise.

“He (Quavo) didn’t want a check presentation at Huncho Day to take away from the great experience everyone had,” Taylor said.

“He purposely wanted to make it more low key and just keep it focused about the community. That’s just Trevor McNaboe the kind of person he is.”

Taylor said the donated organization of Huncho Day money has been a big help on April 1. to the athletic department.

The Easter Sunday event “It’s meant the world to was only open to Berkmar the program with some of cluster students as well as the struggles that we’ve children in the local Boys had,” Taylor said. “Coach and Girls Club.

Meadowcreek culinary instructor receives national award Chef Simone Byron, a culinary arts instructor at Meadowcreek High School, was named a 2018 ProStart National Educator of Excellence Award winner and is one of two recipients of the James H. Maynard Excellence in Education Award.

Sponsored by the National Restaurant Association Educational Foundation, the ProStart National Educator of Excellence Award recognizes educators who demonstrate excellence in the classroom as well as passion, commitment, and creativity in all aspects of the ProStart program.

Earlier this year Byron was named the Georgia ProStart Teacher of the Year.

She was recognized

among state honorees at the 2018 Educator of Excellence Awards in Chicago in May, where she was named one of two national winners of the Maynard Award, named for the founder of Golden Corral. In addition to the award, she received a plaque and $5,000.

Pinckneyville teacher invests in students through Chromebooks A Pinckneyville Middle School teacher has been awarded a $10,000 grant by the Allison Rinaldi Memorial Foundation. Lisa Aspinwall said she plans to use the money to buy technology for her students.

“I am going to buy 42 Chromebooks for my classroom and Mr. Ryan Beran’s classroom, including the required licenses and charging boxes,” Aspinwall said. “When you count the

12 existing Chromebooks I purchased using another grant, the sixth grade social studies team will now have a total of 54 Chromebooks.”

The Allison Rinaldi Memorial Foundation is managed through the Community Foundation of Tampa Bay and was established in memory of Allison Rinaldi.

The foundation’s focus is on hunger and homelessness and has provided grants to The Harry Chapin Food Bank, Metropolitan Ministries, Salvation Army, Meals on Wheels and several schools.
