When someone becomes a subscriber to the Community Supported Agriculture program at Gwinnett Technical College, there is a sense of urgency each week in the summer.

For $29 per week, they can receive a box of fresh vegetables grown in the garden just steps away from Sugarloaf Parkway. Organized and produced by Gwinnett Tech’s horticulture department, the CSA program is where community members, students, faculty or anyone else can sign up and pick up a box of fresh food weekly.

In the midst of the peak summer growing season, the program runs through Sept.

“They have to go home and prepare it, they have to cook,” said Matthew Boutte, the farm manager who is a semester away from graduating from the horticulture program.

“They got all these ingredients, they have to do something with it. And they know they’re getting one next week, so they have to eat it.”

Essentially, the program means people pay up front to get a subscription of weekly vegetables.

Boutte said it helps farmers because they can use that capital to help invest in their crops for the year, and it brings people closer to their food, and customers know where it’s coming See AG, Page 8A

On Dec. 13, 2016, a man came forward to tell Gwinnett County police that an alleged criminal posing as an immigration attorney scammed him out of more than $6,000.

The man went by several aliases, but police said his real name was Eddi BuenoCabrera — and by February he’d claimed at least two more victims. Even more disturbing, Bueno-Cabrera’s alleged crime was far from unique in Gwinnett.

On Thursday, the Gwinnett County Solicitor Rosanna Szabo joined with local attorneys, state representatives and advocates to speak out against scam lawyers, particularly those who target immigrant populations.

Frequent rain, combined with humidity and high temperatures, has made conditions favorable for the disease to develop. In fact, I visited an athletic field with a significant portion of it affected by the fungus.

Unlike other lawn diseases that are enhanced by excessive fertilizer applications, lack of nitrogen and potassium are major contributors to the development of the disease. Have your soil tested and apply fertilizer according to the soil test recommendations.

Apply supplemental water earlier in the day to allow the grass to dry out by the evening. Chemical fungicides can be used according to label direction in conjunction with other control methods.

The disease affects only the grass blades and does not trouble the crown or the roots. If the lawn is healthy, the affected grass will regenerate.

Minardi arrested County officials to take transit input tour after returning to scene of arson Gwinnett County Transit tour

By Cailin O’Brien

cailin.obrien @gwinnettdailypost.com

A Buford man was arrested Tuesday afternoon after he returned to the scene of an arson and pretended to have heard about the crime on the news.

One problem — the arson hadn’t been in the news yet.

Nicholas Minardi, 21, has been accused of intentionally setting two vehicles on fire at the Buford Superior Self Storage on French Boulevard on Sunday. Firefighters responded to the blaze at about 7:22 p.m. after the property manager heard a popping sound and found one of the cars on fire.

“Crews arrived to find smoke and flames showing from one of the vehicles, as well as two storage units in the center of a multi-unit storage facility,” Firefighter Capt.

Tommy Rutledge said.

“They also discovered a second vehicle on fire on the opposite end of the complex.”

Both fires extensively damaged the two cars and two adjoining storage units.

Rutledge said fire

investigators found footage of Minardi’s vehicle in surveillance videos Nicholas from the Michael storage Minardi facility. Then Minardi came back to the scene of the crime and drew attention to himself.

“In a strange twist, Minardi actually returned to the scene Monday evening under the guise that he was checking on his girlfriend’s property to see if it was OK,” Rutledge said. “He claimed that he heard about the fire in the news, which wasn’t true based on the fact that the fire department had not yet issued a media release about the incident.”

Minardi was arrested at his home late Tuesday afternoon. He was booked into Gwinnett County jail that day at 3:51 p.m. and is being held on charges of two charges of second degree arson, two second degree charges of criminal damage, entering an auto and possessing a tool for the commission of a crime.

Gwinnett County officials are taking their questions about the future of transit in the county to the people this weekend.

The county announced that Gwinnett County Transit staff will take bus tours around the county Saturday to engage residents at various festivals and parks and get them to participate in a Connect Gwinnett survey. The effort is part of the public input gathering process of the county’s ongoing Comprehensive Transit Study.

“This effort will be

a success if it promotes transit, generates increased input from the public through the survey and results in additional foot traffic on the Connect Gwinnett Transit website,” Eileen Schwartz-Washington, project manager for the planning effort, said in a statement.

The Comprehensive Transit Study is being conducted as a prelude to a vote on transit expansion in Gwinnett, giving county leaders an idea of not only what residents want, but also of the feasibility and cost of various options.

The Connect Gwinnett survey is also available at www.connectgwinnetttransit.com.

Tier 2 lists. That equates to about $437.7 million for transportation-related projects.

The transportation lists were developed by a Citizens Project Selection Committee.

Officials said the projects cover a wide range of areas, including major roads, joint county and city efforts, pedestrian safety, school safety, intersections, road safety and alignments, bridges and culverts, rehabilitation and resurfacing, unpaved roads, residential speed control and transportation planning.

Meanwhile, the county’s Recreation Authority conducts updates to its parks and recreation capital improvement plan,

which allowed the county to prioritize parks and recreation-related SPLOST projects.

In addition to the Infinite Energy Center expansion, as well as transportation and recreation projects, some of the other projects that officials said will be funded by SPLOST include a new police precinct in E-911 center at Bay Creek Park, replacement libraries in Snellville and Lawrenceville, more greenways, a new firefighting apparatus and a satellite senior center for Daculaarea residents.

Canada concludes this fall, recently signed with Legacy Recordings, the catalog division of Sony Music Entertainment.

“I went on the backpacking trip because I knew that when I got back, there would be very few open days for me until Christmas,” he said.

“But I’m ready to go back on tour.”

Cahill, a native of Mullingar in County Westmeath, about an hour west of Dublin, Ireland, has seen his star rise after a humble beginning.

Growing up, he sang in front of 2,000 congregants every Sunday at the Cathedral of Christ the King Church in Mullingar, where he often performed with his father, Martin, who taught him the piano, and younger brother, Aaron, a cellist, and older sister, Laura, who played the flute. Cahill, who learned to sing from his mother, Anne, also played the violin for a quartet that became known in the town of about 20,000 residents as “The von Trapps” in reference to the family in the film “The Sound of Music.”

At age 12, Cahill landed a very small role in

“Les Misérables” in Ireland, which jump-started an award-winning career in which he was named the Royal Irish Academy of Music’s promising young singer of 2010 and earned the John McCormack Young Tenor Award and was voted tenor of the year in 2013 by The Irish Music Association in the United States in recognition of his performances on stage.

He’s sung at The Pentagon to honor U.S. military members in 2012, given a benefit concert to raise money for Hurricane Sandy victims and performed in front of 90,000 fans at Dublin’s Croke Park and for thenPresident of Ireland Mary McAleese.

Cahill said he’s grown tremendously as a singer since the last time he sang in Gwinnett County.

“I’ve done over 100 shows since then,” he said. “The last time I was at the Red Clay Music Foundry, I was working on my album, and now it’s out and I want to promote it. I’m going to sing all of the songs the fans are expecting me to sing because they really have been great supporting the album.”

Measles rate only low in the U.S. DEAR DR. ROACH: My mother had the measles.

She also had mumps and German measles. She stayed home for a few days, used up a box of tissues and went back to school a week later.

But some doctors quickly learned that if they didn’t pretend that these viruses were deadly, they wouldn’t make any money. Anyone fearful of these viruses is a product of brainwashing.

How many people in this country have died of measles this year? Zero. But many had measles. So what did we learn? Measles is not deadly.

— M.F.D. ANSWER: If you were to think of a deadly disease, you might think of something like Ebola — some outbreaks of which have killed 90 percent of people who are infected. Some might consider rabies, which is nearly always fatal in someone who isn’t vaccinated before developing symptoms.

Measles doesn’t come to mind for most. Few Americans under the age of 50 have seen a case. Only about 1 person per thousand dies of measles in North America.

However, worldwide, it’s another story. Every year, 146,000 people die of measles, dwarfing Ebola or rabies as a far deadlier disease. There are ongoing outbreaks in Europe right now, with multiple deaths.

DEAR DR. ROACH: I am nearly 65 years old. I am currently experiencing headaches on the left side of my head. I also have had some memory problems. My MRI report said that I have “increased signal in the periventricular and sub-cortical white matter. These changes are nonspecific and may be related to microvascular ischemia.”

I stopped smoking in 1980 and have not smoked since. I have had high blood pressure since 1997, but I have been under medication treatment, first with atenolol and now with lisinopril, and have a stable blood pressure of 130/80.

I want to stop and reverse whatever is causing this. I want to prevent any further damage to my brain, because I do not want to be a burden to my sons. Can you please help me reverse this?

— O.R.T. ANSWER: The brain consists of gray matter and white matter. Gray matter are mostly the nerve cell bodies, and white matter are mostly the connections between different areas of gray matter.

Both gray and white matter need to be functioning properly for the overall brain to do so.

Abnormalities in the white matter of the brain are nonspecific. Many conditions can cause the kinds of changes seen on your MRI scan; however, the most common causes I see are high blood pressure and smoking. I’m glad you quit smoking and that your blood pressure is under reasonable control. Some doctors would recommend (and I’m one of them) getting the blood pressure down a bit more: below 120/80, as long as it isn’t causing symptoms, in order to prevent further damage.

I’m afraid there is no way we know of to reverse damage that is already there.

The worst is yet to come WASHINGTON — The Court of Mad King Donald is not a presidency. It is an affliction, one that saps the life out of our democratic institutions, and it must be fiercely resisted if the nation as we know it is to survive.

I wish that were hyperbole. The problem is not just that President Trump is selfish, insecure, egotistical, ignorant and unserious. It is that he neither fully grasps nor minimally respects the concept of honor, without which our governing system falls apart. He believes “honorable” means “obsequious in the service of Trump.” He believes everyone else’s motives are as base as his.

The Trump administration is, indeed, like the court of some accidental monarch who is tragically unsuited for the duties of his throne. However long it persists, we must never allow ourselves to think of the Trump White House as anything Eugene but aberrant. We Robinson must fight for the norms of American governance lest we forget them in their absence.

It gets worse and worse. The past week has marked a succession of new lows.

On Saturday, Trump began what has been a sustained campaign to goad or humiliate Attorney General Jeff Sessions into resigning.

Trump has blasted Sessions on Twitter, at a news conference, in a newspaper interview and at a campaign-style rally. He has called Sessions “beleaguered” and said repeatedly how “disappointed” he is in the attorney general.

Forget, for the moment, that Sessions was the first sitting U.S. senator to support Trump’s campaign, giving him new credibility among conservatives. Forget also that Sessions is arguably having more success than any other Cabinet member in getting Trump’s agenda implemented. Those things aside, what kind of leader treats a lieutenant with such passiveaggressive obnoxiousness? Trump is too namby-pamby to look Sessions in the eye and say, “You’re fired.”

That’s what the president clearly is trying to summon the courage to do, however. The Washington Post reported that Trump has been “musing” with his courtiers about the possibility of firing Sessions and naming a replacement during the August congressional recess.

Trump has no respect for the rule of law. He is enraged that Sessions recused himself from the investigation of Russia’s meddling in the election, and thus is not in a position to protect the House of Trump from special counsel Robert Mueller. According to The New York Times, “Sharing the president’s frustration have been people in his family, some of whom have come under scrutiny in the Russia investigation.” I’m guessing that means the president’s eldest son, Donald Trump Jr., and his son-in-law, Jared Kushner. Who elected them, by the way?

Trump seeks to govern by whim and fiat.

On Wednesday morning, he used Twitter to announce a ban on transgender people serving in the military, surprising his own top military leaders. Pentagon spokesmen told reporters to ask the White House for details; White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders told reporters to ask the Pentagon. Was Trump trying to reignite the culture wars? Would the thousands of transgender individuals now serving in the military be purged? Was this actual policy or just a fit of indigestion?

Inside the mad king’s court, the internecine battles are becoming ever more brutal. Members of Trump’s inner circle seek his favor by leaking negative information about their rivals.

This administration is more hostile to the media than any in recent memory, but also more eager to whisper juicy dirt about the ambitious courtier down the hall.

Trump’s new favorite, Anthony Scaramucci, struts around more like a chief of staff than a communications director, which is his nominal role. Late Wednesday night — after dining with Trump and his head cheerleader, Sean Hannity — Scaramucci took a metaphorical rapier to the actual chief of staff, Reince Priebus, by strongly hinting on Twitter that Priebus leaks to reporters. The next morning, Scaramucci told CNN that “if Reince wants to explain that he’s not a leaker, let him do that.”

Why bring in Scaramucci? Because, I fear, the mad king is girding for war. Trump is reckless enough to fire Mueller if he digs too deeply into the business dealings of the Trump Organization and the Kushner Companies.

What then? Will Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell draft and push through a new special prosecutor statute so that Mueller can quickly be reappointed? Will House Speaker Paul Ryan immediately open debate on articles of impeachment? Will we, the people, defend our democracy?

Do not become numb to the mad king’s outrages. The worst is yet to come.

Barking up the wrong Tralee DUBLIN, Ireland — There are nice people everywhere, or that has been the way it has been for one country boy from Middle Georgia. I am sure that while I have been the beneficiary of hospitality in some distant port, there was a thug around the corner unbeknownst to me who, if the opportunity presented itself, would take my money and, in some cases, my life. Makes you grateful the percentages are in your favor.

While I have never been alarmed or threatened when traveling, I am aware that being careful gets the highest of priority these days. I thought about all that recently with a bit of personal profiling when boarding a flight from Paris to Manchester, England.

However, I managed to enjoy the moment and take advantage of fortuitous friendships in other locations where food, drink and fellowship brought about with an opportunity to rejoice with a few fresh introductions.

Like with new friends in Ireland, that “Emerald Isle” whose history, though often tragic, lifestyle and upside bring more visitors each year than a team of accountants could tabulate. A country or a community is often distinguished by its local ambassadors.

Many have, and many have won the beauty title.

Thankfully, owing to CocaCola, we discovered that that was not the Tralee we wanted Loran to research. More about that Smith later. In the meantime, it is of value to celebrate “Epic Take Michael Lawler, for Ireland,” the interactive example.

secondary in importance and effectiveness to the telephone.

Hard to give and take on the internet.

I called a museum in Tralee, and a lady recommended a historian, named Bryan MacMahon, who is a native of Kerry but lives in Dublin. He began to research on our behalf and immediately sensed something was wrong. “The McMullans are from up North,” he kept saying. The “original” John McMullan it turns out, based on Fiona O’Mahoney’s research, was from Tralee, Derry (Londonderry) near Belfast.

When the day was done, we realized that John McMullan, who came across the Atlantic in about 1760, fought in the Revolutionary War and was given land in what is now Hart Country for his services as a soldier, was from Tralee Derry (County Londonderry) and not Tralee Kerry.

This prompted a conversation with Ted McMullan: “If you ever want to do a book about your family history, there is a quick and easy title: ‘Barking up the Wrong Tralee.’”

Loran Smith is co-host of “The Tailgate Show” and sideline announcer for Georgia football. He is also a freelance writer and columnist.

Residents of D.C.’s ‘poor’ house growing WASHINGTON — Eventually, everyone in this town seems to wind up with the word “poor” in front of his or her name.

Such a fate is especially likely if one has associated with Donald Trump. As in, Poor Attorney General Jeff Sessions. He is latest to the firing line that has included such formerlys as FBI Director James Comey, national security adviser Michael Flynn and acting-Attorney General Sally Yates, as well as the “voluntarily resigned” — press secretary Sean Spicer, and Communications Director Michael Dubke.

Trump has begun making inquiries about firing Sessions, barring a resignation prompted by the president’s tweeted attempts at shaming him into resigning. His crime?

A perceived lack of loyalty.

Having recused himself from involvement in the FBI’s Trump-Russia investigation — and, therefore, from defending the president, as Trump sees it — Sessions is no longer useful. (For the record, Sessions did reportedly offer to resign at one point.)

Speaking of loyalty, Trump offers little of what he expects from others. Way back in early 2016, when few were willing to sidle up to the Republican front-runner, Sessions bet the farm on this reality-show celebrity. He was the first sitting senator to endorse Trump, trading his legacy for the near-certain promise of a top

Kathleen Parker position in the new administration.

Whatever Sessions’ hopes for the job, Trump apparently assumed that the attorney general would serve at his pleasure, regardless of what inconvenient ethics might preclude Sessions from also acting as the president’s personal defense attorney — that is, should any pre-emptive measures prove inadequate to thwart unwanted scrutiny.

Sessions’ recusal wasn’t only correct, but probably unavoidable. It was revealed the day before his announcement that he had twice met with then-Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak, in July and September of 2016, despite having said during his confirmation hearing that he hadn’t. Like so many others who joined the Trump White House, Sessions seemed to have forgotten the meetings.

Kislyak must be one forgettable fellow. Everyone he meets from Trump World suffers amnesia, recalling not so much as a handshake. Though I’ve not had the pleasure, Kislyak looks like a jovial sort

who enjoys a hearty chuckle.

His sides must be splitting these days as Trump repeals and replaces officials who are investigating Russia or who deny knowing any Russians.

Testifying before the Senate Intelligence Committee, Sessions has said that his meetings with Kislyak, come to think of it, were routine and part of his activities as senator, not as campaign operative. Except for the fact that Sessions was part of the campaign at the time of those meetings, there’s no reason to doubt him.

Trump seems less bothered that Sessions, Donald Trump Jr. and Jared Kushner all have contradicted his claims that none of his campaign people had ever met with any Russians associated with the government than by the realization that Sessions isn’t protecting his backside. To the nation’s chief executive, the latter spells kaputzkah. In recent tweets, the president called the attorney general “beleaguered,” accused him of being “very weak” on Hillary Clinton (why now?) and questioned his competence, saying: “Ukrainian efforts to sabotage Trump campaign — ‘quietly working to boost Clinton.’

So where is the investigation A.G.” (Say this for Trump: He has resisted servitude to punctuation and grammar.)

Sure, Trump must know that Sessions vowed during his confirmation hearing that, if confirmed, he would recuse

himself from any matters concerning Hillary Clinton. After all, the hearing was televised.

But why mention Clinton in this episode of Trump’s reality presidency? Because when the heat is on, Trump always sprinkles a little Clinton in the mix. How better to turn his supporters against Sessions and create momentum for him to resign than to remind Republican voters that Sessions let Clinton get away with (fill in the blank).

In the latest in his series of off-the-cuff true confessions, Trump last week told The New York Times that he never would have nominated Sessions as attorney general had he known he’d recuse himself.

Recall that he also said he fired Comey because of the Russia investigation. Nobody ever accused the president of subtlety. The question now is, who’s next?

We’ll know soon enough, but Health and Human Services Secretary Tom Price might want to keep his medical license current. As the Senate was preparing to vote again on the Obamacare repeal bill, Trump gave a rousing speech, saying he knew Price, who formerly sat on the House Ways and Means subcommittee on health, would get out there and get those votes.

If not, Trump quipped, “You’re fired!”

Poor Price.

world Qatari foreign minister and Tillerson to meet United States Secretary of State Rex Tillerson will meet with his Qatari counterpart Tuesday, three weeks after the start of a Saudi, Emirati, Bahrani and Egyptian-backed boycott on the small, gas-rich U.S. ally.

The meeting comes days before the deadline on a stern list of demands sent to Qatar by the four Arab states last Thursday. Tillerson has already said that parts of the demands “will be very difficult for Qatar to meet.”

The list includes 13 preconditions to ending Qatar’s isolation, including shutting down the country’s statefunded Al Jazeera news network and reducing ties with Iran.

Tillerson and Qatari Foreign Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani are expected to meet in Washington on Tuesday afternoon.

Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Egypt and Bahrain cut ties with Qatar on June 5, accusing the Gulf state of supporting terrorism and destabilizing the region.

Macron: France will set up Libya refugee hot spots France has announced its intention to set up “hot spots” in Libya to process refugee claims and help deter people from attempting the treacherous journey across the Mediterranean.

Speaking at a naturalization ceremony in the French city of Orleans on Thursday, French President Emmanuel Macron said the move would stop people who are ineligible for asylum from taking “crazy risks.”

According to the UN’s refugee agency, there were an estimated 660,000 “people of concern” — refugees and internally displaced people — living in Libya at the end of 2016.

“We’ll go get them ourselves,” Macron said. “I intend to do this as soon as this summer.”

“The other European countries are very reluctant.

We will try to do it with Europe, but France will do it.”

world&nation ‘Holy hell to pay’ if Sessions is fired Sen. Graham backs AG ‘100 percent’

By Liz Stark CNN

As President Donald Trump continues to publicly criticize Jeff Sessions, one of the attorney general’s former colleagues is promising that if Sessions is fired, there will be “holy hell to pay.”

“I’m 100 percent behind Jeff Sessions,” Sen. Lindsey Graham, a South Carolina Republican, told CNN’s Manu Raju Thursday morning on Capitol Hill. “If Jeff Sessions is fired, there will be holy hell to pay.”

The Republican lawmaker also slammed Trump for what he views as an effort to “marginalize and humiliate” Sessions, adding that his Senate colleagues are also displeased with the recent barrage of attacks.

“This effort to basically marginalize and humiliate the attorney general is not going over well in the Senate,” Graham told CNN. “If you believe Jeff Sessions should be fired, use the power you have and accept the consequences.”

“I hope it stops,” he added.

Despite Trump’s Twitter attacks, Sessions has no plans to resign, sources have told CNN. Instead, Sessions is moving ahead with his duties as attorney general, including routine meetings with admin-

nation House approves spending bill with $1.6B for the border wall

The House voted Thursday to approve a spending bill with $1.6 billion to put toward a border wall along the U.S.-Mexico border, part of a high-profile campaign pledge from President Donald Trump.

Despite Trump’s pledge to make Mexico pay for the wall, the bill earmarks taxpayer money to construct a carrier along the southwest border. To avoid having those Republicans who oppose the measure vote on it directly, House Republican leaders tucked it into a procedural measure that set the debate plan for the so-called Venezuela bans “minibus” funding bill for several federal agencies. protests ahead The bill passed 235-192, mostly along party lines. of Sunday vote The wall funding was Venezuela’s government added to a measure that said it will ban protests combined funding bills for ahead of this weekend’s vote the Pentagon, energy and for a special constitutional water, legislative branch, assembly — a direct chalmilitary construction and lenge to opposition leadVeterans Affairs. ers who planned massive demonstrations against the U.S. Joint Chiefs election today. blindsided by The ban, announced Thursday toward the end of Trump’s ban an opposition-led general The Joint Chiefs of Staff, strike that shuttered some including chairman General businesses nationwide for two days, begins Friday and Joseph Dunford, were not continues through Tuesday, aware President Donald interior and justice minister Trump planned to tweet a ban on transgender service Néstor Reverol said.

In recent years, Bezos’s fortune has whizzed past that of legendary investor Warren Buffett, Spanish retail magnate Amancio Ortega and Mexican tycoon Carlos Slim. Bezos added more than $24 billion in net worth since January 2017, according to

Bloomberg.

Bezos founded Amazon in the mid-1990s from a garage, originally as an online bookseller. But over the years, Bezos has deftly steered Amazon into hardware, cloud services, music and streaming shows. All along the way, Amazon used technology and sheer force to ruthlessly cut prices. Customers in turn have flocked to Amazon, which raked in a stunning $136 billion in sales last year alone.

gwinnettdailypost.com •From Page 1A with a group of lawyers, doctors and business owners who shared the same concerns with me,” Szabo said. “They described several instances where people received legal services from non-lawyers. In many of these cases, the victims suffered irreparable damage to their rights or their legal claims.”

Local attorney and candidate for Congress Ethan Pham called that meeting, which also prominently featured attorney and State Rep. Brenda Lopez. Together with other officials, the group created a video-taped public service announcement that warns Gwinnett residents about illegal attorney scams in five different languages including English, Spanish, Korean, Vietnamese and Chinese.

“We’re here to inform all of our citizens that the unauthorized practice of law is a crime,” Szabo said.

“We urge you to protect your rights. Don’t be scammed.”

Gwinnett County Police Detecive Nermin Cultarevic is investigating BuenoCabrera’s case and has been involved in other cases involving the illegal practice of law. He said his office has investigated six such cases in Gwinnett this year so far.

Anybody can be targeted by fake attorneys, but Thursday’s press conference made it clear that the majority of these scam artists tend to target immigrants. Szabo said that’s a problem in Gwinnett.

“The crime has become

Scam Are you dealing with a licensed attorney?

— Be sure to meet with the attorney face-to-face and ask whether they’re licensed to practice law in Georgia before you pay them.

— Check whether the attorney is licensed on the Georgia State Bar’s online member directory at www.gabar.org/ membership/membersearch.cfm.

— If you can’t find an attorney in the Georgia State Bar’s online database, contact the bar at 404-527-8700.

more prevalent (in this county) with the growing immigrant population,” she said “We have a diverse community. More than 30 percent of adults in Gwinnett are immigrants.”

Some immigrants make easy targets for scam artists because they don’t fully understand how the American legal system works, yet.

For instance, in many South American countries, “notarios,” or “notaries,” are people with a level of education that gives them the right to take money for legal advice.

So immigrants from that part of the world don’t always understand that notaries are not trained attorneys in the United States.

Szabo said some unethical notaries in the United States understand that confusion and exploit it.

“Some ‘notarios’ in the United States are very happy

Gwinnett County officials gathered at the Gwinnett County Justice and Administration Center on Thursday morning to discuss the prevalence of fake attorneys scamming immigrant communities. (Staff Photo: Cailin O’Brien)

for them to believe that and charge them as if they are giving them qualified legal advice,” she said.

The same pattern presents itself in Asian communities, where residents tend to believe law office managers can provide legal advice.

Szabo said these unqualified people often give advice that can cause trouble for immigrants down the road.

Sometimes, it even gets them deported.

Bueno-Cabrera wasn’t a “notario” or a legal office manager. He was just a scam artist who understood how desparate some members of his Latino community were to become legal residents of the United States. He’d offer to help those people obtain

citizenship, and he seemed knowledgeable. But after his clients paid him for his supposed services, BuenoCabrera always disappeared.

“He preyed on good people — their hopes, their fears,” Szabo said.

Pham said that exploitation of the American dream has become far too common.

He said he’s been struck in his time as a lawyer both in south Atlanta and Gwinnett by the number of people who have come to him complaining about so-called lawyers who disappeared with their money after promising legal counsel.

“I hear these cases on a regular basis, and that’s why I decided to reach out to Solicitor Szabo,” Pham said.

“Because I felt immigrant populations were being taken advantage of — and often it’s by their own people.”

But despite anecdotal evidence describing how often immigrant populations find themselves scammed by fake lawyers, Szabo said “very few” of the cases ever come for prosecution.

Sometimes, that’s because the victims don’t understand that they’ve just encountered something the United States considers illegal.

But often, the cases go unreported because the victims are illegal immigrants, afraid they’ll be deported if they contact the police. Cultarevic said that’s a myth — the Gwinnett County Police Department will not arrest

the victim of a scam on an immigration issue.

In fact, Szabo said illegal immigrants who become victims can qualify for a special visa, known as a U Visa, as long as they cooperate with law enforcement.

“I have seen a victim of a crime that was able to get a U Visa because she did cooperate and assist us in prosecuting a very, very bad man,” Szabo said. “I understand their concerns (about deportation), I do. But I don’t think you should overemphasize them to where it becomes a paranoia. That makes them vulnerable to so many other things.”

Anybody who has been victimized by a fake attorney needs to reach out either to law enforcement or to the State Bar of Georgia. Georgia State Bar Association Investigator Steve Kaczowski recommends potential clients check with the bar to make sure an attorney is licensed before paying them for their services.

Bueno-Cabrera remains on the run and will face his fourth criminal deportation when he’s caught. Officials on Thursday said they remain hopeful that they can get Bueno-Cabrera off the streets — and that they can educate the public to avoid scammers like him in the future.

“I think this public service announcement was the first step in trying to solve this problem and to dig down a little deeper into the practices that are happening in Gwinnett County,” Szabo said.

“We want this to be

sustainable, not just environmentally, but economically,” Poulsen said, referring to the garden’s overall efforts.

Poulsen referred to simple business practices like measuring a market before a product is developed and developing a profit and loss statement for students learning business principles for future careers in the green industry.

Boutte added that beyond the sheer vegetables, customers see value in the educational component of the effort.

“They know that they’re contributing to this environment, or the programs,” he said. “They like seeing the farm and the produce every week, so they have no problem opting in and supporting it. I think that’s a big drive factor for a lot of people.”

He added, “It’s more than growing vegetables.

I’m surrounded by people who want to learn. That’s probably one of the more enjoyable things about it.”

The farm is used to teach classes about agriculture so students can earn certificates in areas like sustainable urban agriculture.

“So really boosting those numbers is our primary goal,” Boutte said, “because that’s going to give us the ability to grow the farm. That’s going to give the community the ability to grow their own food. The quicker we get on board with that, the better off we are.”

Rep. John Lewis a “racist pig” and referring to Democrats as “Demonrats” and “Libtards.”

Hunter’s fellow commissioners agreed and issued the reprimand last month.

Hunter’s attorney, Dwight Thomas, is appealing Gwinnett County Superior Court Judge Melodie Snell Conner’s decision to throw out his legal challenge to the constitutionality of the county’s ethics ordinance and ethics board. He wants to take the case to the Georgia Supreme Court, according to a notice of appeal.

“Jurisdiction for this appeal lies with the Georgia Supreme Court, as the court’s final order falls within a class of cases in which the Supreme Court has original and exclusive appellate jurisdiction,” he wrote in the notice of appeal.

“That is a ‘case in which the constitutionality of a law, ordinance or constitutional provision has been drawn into question.’”

A key part of Hunter’s legal challenge is the fact that the Gwinnett County Bar Association and the Association of County Commissioners of Georgia were allowed to appoint members of

the ethics board — as was Hunter himself, the Board of Commissioners and District Attorney Danny Porter.

Hunter chose to not appoint someone to the board, and his team derided the process as unconstitutional.

In her ruling last month, Conner said she was throwing out Hunter’s legal challenge because she did not see the ethics board, or the ethics ordinance that created it, as violating the state’s constitution.

“Since the board of Ethics serves merely an investigatory function in making a recommendation to the Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, a public body comprised of elected members, rather than acting as the final arbiter, the ethics board and the ordinance creating it are not constitutionally infirm,” she wrote.

Part of the Board of Commissioners final decision concerning Hunter was to order the written reprimand against him published in the Daily Post, which is the county’s legal organ. The reprimand, as well as the Board of Ethics report to the county commission, was published in the June 28 edition of the newspaper.

Curtis Terry has some fond memories of his summers spent on the fields in the Georgia heat.

One memory has stuck with the former Archer standout — a tournament just for the community baseball players that was put together by a few of the parents. There were no umpires, no champions, and no pressure to impress.

“Everybody knew each (other), everybody knew the teams. We were just out there having fun,” Terry said. “We just had a blast.”

It was the first time in a while the first baseman got the chance to play against the boys in his community without seeing a scout watching from the stands. It was a tournament that didn’t matter to the big leagues, only to the boys who grew up playing against each other on the fields in the northern counties of Georgia.

Among the players that weekend were Chad Smith, a South Gwinnett product, and Alex Speas, who grew up not too far from Terry’s hometown. Terry was already familiar with

for his players, who make up with enthusiasm what they lack in experience, and the guest instructors were all for it.

Allen connected with Schlopy and Hugo because they work with his daughter Ana at their facility, Dirty South Athletics in Winder. “(Schlopy and Hugo) were really excited about it,” Allen said. “They embrace the opportunity to teach the sport that they love.”

The duo’s clients are wideranging in their abilities —

some are as young as 5, others are high-level travel players — and this week’s camp was about teaching fundamentals and the joy of softball to program that hasn’t experienced much success over the past decade.

The Patriots have high hopes for this season and beyond with Allen, a Central Gwinnett grad and former college coach, as head coach and his wife Kimberley as an assistant.

York reflects on his tenure at Mill Creek Golf, basketball coach headed to Habersham

By David Friedlander david.friedlander@gwinnettdailypost.com

Jeremy York stopped a little short of calling his new position as Habersham Central’s head boys basketball coach his dream job, but it’s pretty close.

It had to be to get him to leave his former position as an assistant boys basketball coach and head boys and girls golf coach at Mill Creek.

“To be honest with you, I’m not looking at it that way,” York said. “I do love the area. I do love the people in Habersham County. But then don’t get me wrong, I love Mill Creek as well.

It’s bittersweet leaving Mill Creek because I love that school. I love the people in that school. I love the administration. I love the kids there. Mill Creek’s a great place.”

Still with the 2017-18 school year rapidly approaching, York is reflecting more on the positives of his new job — his first head basketball coaching job at his alma mater — than the difficult decision to leave his old one.

“Chad Rogers hired me as (Mill Creek’s) JV (basketball) coach back in 2009,” York said.

Getting to Know ... Kim Spence Kim Spence is the new head girls soccer coach at West Forsyth High School.

She played high school soccer at Parkview, where she won three state championships from 2007-10.

Spence went on to play four years of college soccer at Auburn and spent some time with Jamaica’s under-20 national team.

In this edition of “Getting to Know…,” Spence speaks with sports intern Collin Huguley about topics ranging from her soccer background to her professional pursuits as a school counselor.

CH: How did you go about getting the head coaching gig at West Forsyth?

KS: I graduated with my master’s in school counseling last May and then I got a job at Liberty Middle School in Forsyth County, as a counselor. And then I got an assistant coaching job at West Forsyth for the spring season.

Toward the end of the season, right after it ended, I got an offering for a counseling position at the high school, so I accepted that. Shortly after that, I got an offer to be the head coach of the girls team.

CH: What was it like for you to transition into that head coaching role so quickly?

KS: It was very exciting.

It was something that I always wanted to do. I knew that I wanted to be a high school counselor and be a head varsity coach. I was surprised that it happened so quickly, but I am very excited for the opportunity.

CH: What has been the biggest adjustment for you early on in the process of becoming a head coach?

KS: Right now, even though we are not in season yet, just talking to the athletic director, the strength coach, the booster club, trying to get things going and thinking about ideas for team fundraisers. The whole preparation piece that you aren’t as involved in as an assistant coach, that is the biggest change that I am seeing right now.

CH: Last season as an assistant coach, was that your first year coaching soccer at all or had you coached before elsewhere?

KS: Yes. That was my first year coaching soccer.

CH: What kind of coaching philosophy have you developed so far or are you still working to develop one?

KS: I think I am still working to develop my coaching philosophy. I think that, with this being my first year, I was able to take everything that I had learned as a player at all of the different levels that I have played and also take a little from each coach

that I have had and kind of just put into practice what I have seen.

CH: Obviously, you played at Parkview. What was it like to be a part of such a powerhouse program during that period of time?

KS: It was so amazing. I loved my time at Parkview.

(Parkview head girls) Coach (Judson) Hamby was awesome. I built great relationships with all of the girls that I played with.

It wasn’t just the winning that was fun. The team bonding that we had, the team dinners and all of the time that we spent together made for an amazing four years.

CH: Being a part of such a successful program, do you feel like (your experience at Parkview) better prepared you for your new job as opposed to a normal coach with just one year of experience?

KS: I definitely think that. Coach Hamby is one of my favorite coaches that I have had. I learned a lot from him as a player and now as a coach, I’m seeing stuff from the coach’s perspective that he instilled in us as players. The program that we had at Parkview was so great and I learned so much about playing and coaching that has helped me a lot in my transition to being a coach.

CH: What is the biggest takeaway that you have had from Coach Hamby that you’ve had as a coach that, maybe, you didn’t recognize as a player?

KS: My freshman year was his first season as the girls head coach and he set the foundation for us from Day 1. We knew what his expectations were and we knew what it was going to be like and what our job was, each player and as a team. Because he set that up early, it allowed the whole team to buy in. We all knew that we wanted the same thing and that was to win.

As a player, you might have seen that as the coach being hard on you but now when I look back, I see how beneficial it was because we were so successful all four years at Parkview. Because that foundation was laid from Day 1.

CH: What do you think is the biggest challenge

that you face heading into your first season?

KS: I think the biggest challenge that I will face is me being so young. I know that I have a good soccer background because of the success that I’ve had at Parkview, at Auburn and playing for Jamaica.

So I know that my soccer background is strong, but just having one year of coaching under my belt and making this transition so fast will be the hardest challenge that I will face.

CH: Do you feel any added pressure taking over a program like West Forsyth? This isn’t a coaching change made to rebuild a struggling team, this is a good program.

KS: Right. I think there is some pressure. But I am the kind of person that rises to the challenge and I am excited to take over a team that is so great. And then I have the ability to implement a little bit of my own to make what is great even better, CH: What was your experience like playing at the international level and what all did you learn from that?

KS: It was such an amazing experience. I played for the under-20 team and we played for the World Cup qualifying. It just put soccer into a whole new perspective for me. To be able to go to my home country and make that relationship with other people that were there (was great), but also I met different coaches down there with different philosophies.

And outside of the soccer aspect, just getting to travel and see the world during that time was amazing.

CH: What is your connection to Jamaica beyond playing for the team? You were born there but do you go back often?

KS: I was born there, my entire family was born there. I am the youngest of four. Most of my dad’s family still lives in Jamaica. We’ve had a couple of family reunions down there and we go down there for family vacations sometimes.

CH: What was it like to represent the country on the under-20 national team and what did that mean to you?

KS: It was amazing. I left Jamaica when I was three, so I didn’t get spend much time there. But getting to go back there and play the sport that I love was such a humbling experience and I definitely learned a lot from it as a person and soccer player.

CH: You went on to play at Auburn after you left Parkview. What went into your decision in choosing Auburn?

KS: I wanted to venture out of Georgia a little bit, but I knew that I didn’t want to go too far so that

my parents could still come and watch me play.

When I was getting letters from Auburn, I made a visit with my mom, and as soon as I got to Auburn, I fell in love with the campus and it was beautiful. I went back a second time to meet with the coaches and I loved them and I knew that was the place that I needed to be.

CH: Where along the line was it that you knew that you wanted to coach soccer?

KS: In high school was really the first time that I thought about it. With Coach Hamby, it made coaching look so fun and something that I would like doing. Then I went to Auburn and really enjoyed playing for the coach there.

Then when I went back to school to get my master’s, that was my confirmation.

If I was going to go back into the school system, I definitely wanted to be a head coach.

CH: Growing up, did you play any sports other than soccer?

KS: I did. I did gymnastics for a little bit, track for a little bit, and played basketball for about five years. But after eighth grade, I played basketball and knew that soccer was my passion. So after eighth grade, I let go of basketball.

CH: How did you pick up soccer?

KS: Because it is so popular in Jamaica, my parents were familiar with the sport. Then when we moved to the U.S., my mom signed up my older brother to play. She would see me kick the ball around at his games and decided to sign me up too.

CH: What made you want to get into school counseling?

KS: Counseling is something that has always been a passion for me, just to help people in any way that I can. And then, education is something that my mom has always stressed with us. So to be able to combine both of those into one is just me living out my dream.

CH: What do you like to do in your free time?

Do you still play soccer?

KS: Yes. I actually joined an adult league over the summer. I have played there for a few weeks and I absolutely love it. I’m glad to be back playing the game.

My sister just had her second child and my oldest brother has two children, so I spend a lot of time with my family also.

CH: Getting back to playing, do you still have it? Are you as good as you were when you walked away?

KS: I’m still pretty good. Probably not the same D-I shape that I was in at Auburn, but I am still in pretty good shape.

Swarm re-sign now healthy King From Staff Reports DULUTH — The Georgia Swarm announced Wednesday they re-signed forward Jesse King to a one-year contract.

The left-handed scorer rejoins the Swarm after missing all of last season with a leg injury.

“Jesse was an instrumental part of our team during his rookie season in 2016,” Swarm owner and general manager John Arlotta said in a release from the team.

“We’re looking forward to having him back healthy in our lineup this season as he adds another dimension to our left side. He is a natural scorer and an outstanding passer as well, which fits extremely well with our style of play. Despite his injury, he came to Atlanta last year to be part of the team, which shows his

character and commitment to the Swarm. It’s great to have him back.”

Even though he was unable to play, King attended all the Swarm’s home games and practices in support of his teammates as they made their successful run for the franchise’s first Champion’s Cup. “I am extremely excited and honored,” King said. “I know we have a team that is filled with guys who are hungry for another Champion’s Cup even after winning the first one. I cannot wait to get started again with this group of amazing men. The leadership and dedication that every single one of these guys has is motivation on its own.”

In the 2015 NLL Draft, the Swarm selected the Ohio State University product No. 3 overall as part of the talented rookie

crop Arlotta garnered that year. King finished third in scoring on the Swarm with 77 points, secondmost among rookies league-wide and 18th-most overall.

He also finished second in assists (55) and fourth in goals (22) on the team, plus fifth among rookies in loose balls (83). King posted three or more points in 15 games, which was highlighted by four hat tricks and five games with six-plus points in 17 games played.

The 6-foot-3, 200-pound forward finished second in NLL Rookie of the Year voting, behind teammate Randy Staats.

The two were also a part of the 2016 NLL AllRookie team, along with teammates forward Lyle Thompson and defenseman Chad Tutton.

King was named NLL Rookie of the Month in February 2016 after scoring 24 points (8G, 16A) in four games, including a career-high 10 points (4G, 6A) against New England on the last day of the month.

Before his NLL career, King played at Ohio State University, finishing fourth all-time in program history with 208 points and 119 goals. He was a three-time USILA All-American and Tewaaraton Trophy finalist.

King becomes the second person the Swarm has inked following its Champion’s Cup victory.

Defenseman Alex Crepinsek was re-signed at the beginning of July to a one-year contract, his sixth year in the NLL and with the Swarm.

This contract is currently pending league approval.

gwinnettdailypost.com ATLANTA FALCONS TRAINING CAMP

Fledgling Falcons’ defense has hot start

By Colin Hubbard Staff Correspondent

FLOWERY BRANCH — The first day of Atlanta Falcons training camp Thursday morning was a massive success, especially for the defense.

The ultra-young Falcons defense played into Dan Quinn’s fast-and-physical philosophy throughout practice, which led to them making numerous plays against the first-team offense.

With camp just getting underway, the final depth chart is miles from being set in stone before the Falcons take the field in Week 1 against the Chicago Bears. But at least for the moment, it appears that the starting unit might be the NFL’s youngest.

Outside of 30-year-old defensive end Brooks Reed, the oldest starter is 26-year-old cornerback Desmond Trufant and defensive tackle Dontari Poe. The defense could feature as many as two rookie starters in defensive end Takk Mckinley and weakside linebacker Duke Riley. But regardless of who receives the most reps throughout the season, this defense is full of youth and speed.

“We’re young,” Trufant said.

“We’ve got a lot of talent, we’ve got a lot of speed, and depth.

We’ve just got to continue to grow together. With more reps together and more communication, we can be one of the best.”

General manager Thomas Dimitroff said that this is the best roster that he’s ever had on Wednesday, and Trufant was quick to agree with him, at least when it comes to the defensive side of the ball.

“I would think so,” Trufant said. “What coach Quinn and the whole front office has put together with all of the players

that are here, this is like definitely the fastest team that I’ve played for, the deepest team I’ve played for and the closest team.

I think that’s the biggest thing.

We’re a tight group. Everybody is always hanging out and talking. There’s no egos. We know that we have a lot of talent and we can go as far as we want.”

It’s hard to pinpoint the exact reason for the early continuity that the Falcons’ defense has seen and how the lack of NFL experience hasn’t slowed them down. But it isn’t a thing that Trufant or any of the other players are worried about in the slightest.

“We’ve got a lot of young guys that are looking like veterans already,” Trufant said.

“They’ve picked up the defense very quick and they’re out there making plays. And the older guys are pulling them along and leading by example.”

Everyone appears to be pulling their own weight on defense, and a lot of that has to do with

the respect that the defense has for newly promoted defensive coordinator Marquand Manuel, who was the teams’ secondary coach last season.

“He’s got the same passion, even more now, honestly,” Trufant said. “He always had that leader mentality anyway, so he’s just transitioned into the whole defense. His energy, that’s nonstop. That’s what he’s going to bring every play. Sometimes he has more energy than us. So I’m definitely thankful to have him.”

Trufant said it was difficult to have to watch his teammates make a Super Bowl run without him last year after suffering a season-ending shoulder injury in Week 9, but that he’s thankful to be back and healthy.

“I felt good,” Trufant said.

“It’s been a while, so it was good just to get back out there and get back to ball and competing with the guys. It’s what I live for, so I’m happy to be back. I’m just taking it a day at a time.”

Quinn commented on Trufant’s progress after practice and he really liked what he saw.

“He does look like he’s at full strength,” Quinn said. He took about half of the reps today and then we will go to three quarters the next day. His speed and his strength is good.”

Keanu Neal, who finished off his rookie season in 2016 very strong, was back in action as well and is starting to see the game slow down for him as year two begins.

“It’s slower from a mental standpoint,” Neal said. “I’ve got a better understanding of the plays so I can play a little faster.

The offense wasn’t moving as fast in my eyes.”

Neal had his struggles just as any rookie does in 2016, but he’s put in place a specific set of goals and things that he wants to work on throughout camp.

“The biggest thing was just continuing to be detailed in my work,” Neal said. “As far as understanding the defense at a higher level. Another thing is my middle-field work. It’s just something that I’ve really been harping on this offseason. Playing in the middle of the field, getting my breaks on the quarterback and things like that.”

Neal was also very happy to have Trufant back after only getting to play on the field with him for seven games in 2016.

“It makes my job a lot easier just knowing that he’s on that island holding it down,” Neal said.

Both men mentioned the likes of linebacker Deion Jones, rookie defensive back Damontae Kazee and Riley as players that continue to impress as the days go by.

The Falcons will practice through Sunday before getting their first day off Monday.

Atlanta all-in for first day of training camp

By Colin Hubbard Staff Correspondent

FLOWERY BRANCH — Several minor storylines began to creep to the forefront as the first day of Atlanta Falcons training camp came to a close Thursday morning.

Every player on the Falcons roster was out on the field and participating to some degree, which is something that Dan Quinn is very pleased about.

Wide receivers Julio Jones and Taylor Gabriel were limited, as well as first-round pick Takk McKinley, but the rest of the roster was a full go for Day 1.

The Georgia heat reared its ugly head, too, which saw several players lose a considerable amount of weight in just two hours of practice. Backup defense end Jack Crawford lost 11 pounds after weighing in post practice, with a number of others shedding a few pounds as well.

All in all, the practice was a major success for Quinn and his staff as they gear up for Day 2.

“We’ve got a really clear vision of how we want our football to look come September,” Quinn said. “Today was a good first day in that start. There are so many things that we can get better at. When they push each other like they do, they’ve created this environment to where they hold each other accountable. And when you’re in that environment every day, it fuels

Quinn isn’t going to rush.

The early front-runner to win the job is 23-year-old Wes Schweitzer. He was seen taking first-team reps for the majority of practice on Thursday, but that could soon change if Sean Harlow answers the bell with a strong camp.

Despite who wins the job, the Falcons appear to be in good hands at the position, especially with the likes of all-pro Center Alex Mack lining up beside whoever wins the job.

“We did a really good job of rotating guys into the right guard spot,” Mack said. “You Atlanta Falcons head coach Dan Quinn talks with linebacker Jer- always want to be prepared in maine Grace (56) on the field during training camp Thursday in case of an injury, so it’s really Flowery Branch.

Titans stay home to bond

Two trips to blazing hot Waycross, well before his pro football career, are etched in Efrem Hill’s memory.

The Discovery head coach recalled those tough times of football training camp in south Georgia, 250-plus miles and more than five hours away from his metro Atlanta high school, North Springs, this week as the Titans worked through their own version of sleepover camp.

“We were in the woods (in Waycross),” Hill said. “No AC in the cabins. Waycross, their water is sulphur water. Our head coach, Coach (Sammie) Williams, called it Camp Hard Labor. It was a different time. We couldn’t be in here (at Discovery) with no AC. (The players) would call their parents, their parents would call the county. It was a different time. It’s a lot different now from what we did when I was in school.”

Not that Hill, who played eight years in the NFL and CFL, is a dinosaur. He’s just 34. But like other high school coaches, he understands the importance of pushing his players mentally and physically, like he and his North Springs teammates were tested on trips to Waycross.

He wanted a similar experience for his Discovery players, who had an overnight camp this week without leaving Lawrenceville. They arrived Monday at the high school, where they spent Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday nights on sleeping bags and air mattresses throughout the Titans’ fieldhouse.

It was 72 straight hours of just players and coaches, a team bonding experience that can’t be replicated. Hill held a two-day version of the camp last season, his first as head coach, and expanded it to three days this year.

“We want them to kind of get that experience (like I had at Waycross),” Hill said. “Just creating bonds. Some of my better friends were made there.

Just being away from the family tightened up our friendship, made us a tighter unit. Getting away from family a bit, just you as coaches and players working together, sweating together. It’s not all about football. We had a session (Wednesday) morning about being mentally tough. That goes beyond football and into life. We’re trying to make them better men.”

The coaches and players woke up at 5 a.m. Wednesday for something new, a hot yoga session. Practices, weight lifting, conditioning, meetings and long conversations were all on the docket this week.

Almost 100 Discovery players (only sophomores, juniors and seniors) toiled through the sessions on the opening few days of training camp. The temperatures were scorching, maybe not as harsh as Hill remembers from Waycross, but the work was tough and the lessons learned were similar for a still very young program.

“We practice, we lift, we run, we watch film, we talk about life, what it means to be a man,” Hill said. “Then we feed them and do it again. … I want them to become closer. I want them to know that in this game we’re going to play there are going to be times where things are not going right and you have to pick your brother up. The coaches aren’t going to be able to pick them up. They need to hear it from a fellow player out there fighting with them.

“When it comes down to it, when things are on the line, I can count on you because you put in the same work I did. You’re just as hungry, just as ready as I am.”

Spokane •From Page 1B the two, having played against them in front of the same crowds throughout high school.

Now in a Spokane Indians uniform playing shortseason Class A ball, Terry found himself sitting in the same dugout this season as his once home-state opponents, who only knew each other by name.

It didn’t take long for their Georgia roots to finally bring the trio together as friends. Speas said the friendship was inevitable.

“I guess you can say it’s a Georgia boy thing,” said Speas, a McEachern grad.

The three Indians knew each other long before any of them were sought out by the Rangers. They grew up on the field together — particularly Smith and Terry, who lived just a few minutes from each other in Snellville.

“I’ve been knowing Curtis for a while now, ever since we were little and he’s always been one of the better players (on the team) that he’s played on, and so have I,” Indians right fielder Smith said. “So for us to end up together … I’m not surprised.”

Smith and Terry were both picked by the Rangers in the 2015 MLB Draft. Smith, a fifth-round pick, played for the Spokane Indians for the entire 2016 season.

Terry, who was selected in the 13th round, played only nine games for the Indians last summer. He spent the majority of his season in Surprise, Ariz., playing for the Rangers’ rookie-level team in the Arizona League.

Smith and Terry attended rival high schools within Gwinnett where the two faced each other regularly on the field.

Smith, who occasionally would start on the mound for his South, remembers Terry as the slugger that was impossible to fool.

“I would get everybody else out and he would come up to the plate and he would just crush me,” Smith said. “I was just like, ‘What am I doing right now? I can’t get this guy out.’ And I was throwing curveballs and throwing changeups and he would just crush everything that I got.”

Speas, who lived on the other side of Atlanta in Cobb County, didn’t get in on the action with the two Snellville players in high school, but Speas did get to see them on the field during travel ball season.

He was especially familiar with Smith during the summer, when the two

found each other on the opposite sides of a wellknown rivalry in Georgia’s baseball circle. “(Smith) played for VBSA and I played for the Atlanta Blue Jays, which are two teams that don’t really get along very well,” Speas said.

Speas said he never got the chance to throw some heat at either of his now teammates. When he played against them, Speas said he was always taking a day off from the mound and playing elsewhere on the field.

The connection goes back even deeper than their teenage years. All three of them also played against each other on the football fields when they suited up for their local youth leagues.

Despite years of crossing paths, Speas, Smith and Terry never became close friends.

It took the Rangers organization and couple of MLB drafts to finally pull the three together.

Last year, Speas finally got the chance to really meet the Georgia standouts he always saw on the opposite side of the field.

After Speas was signed by the Rangers in the second round of the draft, his scout put him in contact with the Snellville players — two of only a handful of Georgia natives in the Rangers organization.

The connection gave the Peach State trio a sense comfort while bouncing around the farm system, especially in these first couple of years when their journey through the minor leagues can often be tiresome and unpredictable.

“Sometimes it can get kind of lonely,” Smith said. “If you have guys that you’ve known since you were a little kid, you kind of share something a little bit more special with them. Makes the ride a little bit more enjoyable.”

The three Indians said their southern roots will keep them tied to each other for the rest of their careers.

When they inevitably leave Spokane and see each other playing in different parts of the country and wearing different uniforms, they said they’ll still keep an eye out for each other.

“We’re all going to stay in touch,” Smith said. “I think we’ll be in contact with each other no matter what.”

Even if they end up in different organizations along the way.

“I’ll always be rooting these guys on,” Smith said.

I guess you can say it’s a Georgia boy thing.

Nesbitt •From Page 1B fanbase, but I want to see what would happen if we won consistently. Honestly, if you don’t want that and you’re part of our organization, beat it.”

As a rookie in 2005-06, Nesbitt helped the Gladiators to the Kelly Cup finals and then won the ECHL title with Idaho a year later.

Nesbitt spent the bulk of the next seven seasons in the AHL before playing one year overseas and then coming back to Atlanta.

“He’s a guy who kind of has gone through the growing pains here and he’s sick and tired of it — as many of us are,” head coach Andy Brandt said. “I think this year you’re going to see a different guy.”

Nesbitt was Brandt’s first, and biggest, signing as a head coach ahead of the 2015-16 campaign.

“He’s back. And it’s extremely important that we have him back,” said Brandt, a teammate of Nesbitt’s in Atlanta earlier in their pro careers. “He brings a ton of experience.

He brings a ton of knowledge. And he brings a ton of poise to our group.

“Now what we have to do as a coaching staff is bring guys in to help Nezzie lead — he can’t be expected to do it by himself.

He’s a quiet leader who goes about his business and shows through action what it means to be a pro.

And he’s a guy who can still flat-out score goals.”

The Ontario native has

put up 114 points in his last two seasons with the Gladiators.

“For us heading into next year, we have to have a plan set in place to make sure he’s getting the rest and recovery that he needs,” Brandt said. “To be quite honest, I think there’s going to be a couple nights he gets off. But I think Nezzie is a guy who truly wants to see this organization win a championship.”

Nesbitt played all 72 games both of the last two years and still does a lot of the optional morning skates.

“I like being on the ice,” he said. “I haven’t played this long for a day off.”

But there is one scenario where Nesbitt would happily rest for a game or two.

“If we’re in a situation where we clinch a playoff spot early, it would be nice for some guys to get some rest,” he said.

In order to do that, the Gladiators are going to have to be better defensively than they were a season ago. Atlanta allowed more goals than almost every team in the ECHL — and a lot of those were on breakaways.

“The goals against, I don’t think that reflects on the goaltending,” Nesbitt said. “When you’re facing multiple odd-man breakaways, our overall team defense was terrible.

“We have to get it out of our zone quicker and exit with possession and support, that changes the whole game. You get stuck in your

own end for a whole shift, it’s exhausting.”

Shoring up the transition game has been at the forefront as the coaching staff targets potential prospects this summer.

“Personally, I just want to play with a group of guys who respect and believe in the process,” Nesbitt said. “We just need guys pulling on the same rope. We don’t need 20 guys that are best friends, we just need 20 guys who respect each other. Once the puck drops, until the buzzer goes, you have to really want to go through the wall for the guy next to you.

“You have to understand the arena is a workplace and respect your coworkers. There’s no getting where you want to be on your own.”

Brandt thinks Nesbitt will be a bit more vocal in his leadership this season.

“Leading is something people have naturally, but it’s also something people have to learn,” Brandt said. “I think with Nezzie, he has a bit of both. Our league can be an extremely hard league to lead in.

You have a lot of different moving pieces, a lot of different players and a lot of different attitudes.

“I truly believe it’s going to be his best year in Atlanta. He’s motivated. He desperately wants to win a championship — and I think desperation is the key to anything. It’s how you have to play every single night.”

York •From Page 1B “Basketball’s always been my first love. So I’ve been in the program about eight years now, and when David Allen took over, he and I had a great relationship, too, in terms of helping me learn and helping me grow and establish my footprint more and more on the program. “(Moving on) was just the next step. I did want to be a head basketball coach. ... When Habersham’s job came open, it was a natural fit.

It’s a great place. I know the system.

I know the area. It’s a great place to get my feet wet, and I do want to see that program grow and thrive, as well.”

York’s biggest task in the latter stated goal will be restoring confidence in a Raiders program that has struggled to a 21-107 record over the past five seasons, including a 1-23 mark in 2016-17.

He knows it won’t be easy having to compete in Region 8-AAAAAA, which includes traditional powerhouse Gainesville, as well as strong Gwinnett programs Dacula and Lanier. However, he was very encouraged with the initial steps his team took during the summer camp, league and tournament season, and is optimistic those positive steps will carry over to the regular season beginning in November.

“The kids have been great up there,” York said. “They did only win one game last season. We played about 12 games this summer and won about six of them. … We competed well this summer. We had a pretty good summer. The kids want to get better. The community support, I feel like, is going to be really, really good.

“I feel like one of the biggest challenges is (that) we’ve got to get these kids up there to believe that they can win, believe in themselves. We’ve got to get to work and get better individually.”

As excited as York is to look

forward, he admits it’s still tough to look back on the mark he leaves back at Mill Creek, both with the boys basketball and boys and girls golf programs.

In addition to being a part of a very competitive Hawks basketball program, he also leaves behind a successful, albeit brief, legacy with the golf programs, guiding the Hawks girls to a Region 7-AAAAAA championship in 2014 and the Area 4-AAAAAAA crown and state runner-up finish and the boys to their first state title this past spring.

“Mill Creek’s always got a place in my heart. It always will,” York said. “(Class) AAAAAAA basketball in Gwinnett County, it has a place, too. I always love being a part of AAAAAAA basketball. … Every game you play, you know you’re going to be in a dogfight. … It was fun competing against those guys every Tuesday and Friday night.

“Right now, I’m only coaching basketball, and I like that. Coaching two sports, it takes some time away from the personal life and there are some things I want to (do) with my family. … But the relationships I’ve built with some of those (golf team) kids and their families — I love all those boys and girls and their families. Mill Creek golf will definitely have a special place in my heart, and always will.”

From Staff Reports

out win in 10th From Staff Reports Back-to-back doubles from Ronald Acuna and Ozzie Albies lifted the Gwinnett Braves to a 3-2 extra-inning victory in Lehigh Valley on Thursday.

Albies led off the 10th with his 21st double of the season and second of the game. Acuna smacked a 1-0 offering from switch throwing Pat Venditte into center to push the GBraves in front.

Lehigh Valley had two on and no outs in the bottom of the 10th, but closer David Peterson delivered on two straight strikeouts and then induced a flyout to center field to end the game.

Gwinnett had lost two straight to the IronPigs and eight of its last 11 before rallying Thursday.

The G-Braves remain in Lehigh Valley tonight.

Starter Lucas Sims, a Brookwood grad, went five innings and allowed two runs on two hits with three walks and eight strikeouts.

The G-Braves scratched out a 1-0 lead in the third

inning, sparked by a leadoff double from Albies. He advanced and scored on back-to-back groundouts.

Albies was the only Gwinnett player with multiple hits (3-for-5, two runs).

Lehigh Valley answered with a pair of runs in the bottom of the fourth. Rhys Hoskins got on with a single, then Sims walked Dylan Cozens and hit Jorge Alfaro to load the bases.

Andrew Pullin ripped a double to right field for a 2-1 IronPigs lead.

After a coaching visit to the mound, Sims got Pedro Florimon swinging and Herlis Rodriguez looking to end the threat.

Gwinnett tied it 2-2 in the sixth with the help of a lead-off walk drawn by Jace Peterson.

Lane Adams doubled on a sharp liner to left field and brought Peterson home to even the score.

Rio Ruiz reached on a fielding error and that was the end of starter Brandon Leibrandt’s night. But the G-Braves went down in order to reliever Ricardo Pinto and the tie held through the ninth.
