Gwinnett County’s first brewery is getting closer to opening. It’s just a question of when.

If Lawrenceville-based Slow Pour Brewing Company co-owner John Reynolds has his way, it will be Sept. 1, a symbolic date when a new state law that lets breweries sell limited amounts of malt beverages directly to the public goes into effect. It also gives him, as the brew master, more time to work with the beer recipes and the brewery’s equipment before the doors open.

Others, such as Reynolds’ brother-in-law and Slow Pour co-owner Marty Mazzawi,

Gwinnett County residents are no stranger to traffic congestion.

Whether it’s on Interstate 85 or on some of the major local roads, residents have not been shy in the past when it comes to grumbling about how much time it takes to get around.

A 2015 study by the Gwinnett Chamber showed residents supported MARTA expansion into Gwinnett — even if support for funding it wasn’t as great — and then later that year when the Gr8 Exchange on Transportation took place.

With Gwinnett expected to become Georgia’s most populous county — with a population of 1.35 million to 1.4 million people — by 2040, county officials say how people get around is an issue that needs to be studied.

Transit is part of what needs to be looked at, according to Gwinnett County transportation director Alan Chapman.

“We know that, over that time frame, transit needs to be something we really plan for,” Chapman said during a recent meeting with the Daily Post. “It takes time a long time to develop some type of transit options, so we need to work on it now.”

Cpl. Deon Washington on The charges stem from June 28. what began as a breakOn Wednesday, Angela in at a Norcross home Garcia, 18, was booked on May 12. A woman cailin.obrien @gwinnettdailypost.com

returned home from work at about 2:50 a.m., carrying her two young Francisco children, Palencia according to a police report. One was in a portable car seat, the other she carried under her arm.

When she got inside, she set the kids down, locked the front door and walked into her living room. That’s where the night’s normalcy ended.

The woman told police she could see two men wearing dark clothes and ski masks standing in her kitchen. She described

one as short and skinny.

The other reportedly had a tall, thick build.

Josue “The Ramireztwo males Aguilar were armed with Tasers and approached (her),” according to the police report.

She said the men shocked her with the tasers multiple times as they pushed her in the direction of the bedroom. She said she tried to resist and tried to get back to her children.

That’s when the taller man poured two pots of boiling water on her neck

and left shoulder, according to the report and warrants. Then the shorter man pushed her into the bedroom and demanded she take off her clothes.

“She complied with the male’s demands out of fear for what could be done to her children,” according to the report.

One of the kids then followed the woman and the shorter man into the bedroom. The child was forced to watch as the man raped the mother and forced her to perform sexual acts, according to warrants.

During the sexual assault, the two men talked to each other, according to the report. They eventually came to the con-

sensus that they needed to leave the apartment.

The woman locked the door behind them and called the police.

It’s unclear precisely what roles police believe Palencia, Ramirez-Aguilar, the 15-year-old girl and Garcia played in the assault. Garcia, Palencia and Ramirez-Aguilar are all being held in Gwinnett County jail without bond.

Ramirez-Aguilar is being held for immigration officials and faces additional charges including criminal trespass and criminal attempt to commit a crime.

The 15-year-old girl is being held in the Rockdale Youth Detention Center.

A cataract is a cloudiness of the lens inside of the eye caused by a build-up of denatured proteins. When a cataract forms, it prevents light from passing through the lens onto the retina (the back of your eye).

Cataracts are progressive and worsen over time. They are a natural part of the aging process and affect more than 22 million Americans. In fact, cataracts are the most common cause of vision loss in people over age 40 and are the principal cause of blindness in the world.

Cataracts cause diminished vision and, if left untreated, the potential of total vision loss. An ophthalmologist will dilate your eyes to determine whether or not you have a cataract. It is not detectable with the naked eye unless it is very dense. There are different types of cataracts. The most common are nuclear, cortical and posterior sub-capsular. A nuclear cataract forms in the center of the lens and causes it to become yellow or brown. A cortical cataract forms around the edge and is characterized by white opacities that start in the periphery of the lens and work their way to the center. A posterior sub-capsular cataract forms in the back part of the lens near the lens capsule. Cataracts generally develop slowly with no pain, but some can be rapidly progressive. The vision can become blurry, hazy and foggy and colors may appear faded and dull.

Some of the most common symptoms are increased glare and light sensitivity. Night-driving can become more troublesome due to rings of light and halos. Patients experience different symptoms with cataracts.

PRESS RELEASE ANNOUNCING A PROPOSED PROPERTY TAX INCREASE The City of Buford Board of Commissioners today announces its intention to increase the 2017 property taxes it will levy this year by 4.75 percent over the rollback millage rate.

Each year, the county board of tax assessors is required to review the assessed value for property tax purposes of taxable property in the county. When the trend of prices on properties that have recently sold in the county indicate there has been an increase in the fair market value of any specific property, the board of tax assessors is required by law to re-determine the value of such property and adjust the assessment. This is called a reassessment.

When the total digest of taxable property is prepared, Georgia law requires that a rollback millage rate must be computed that will produce the same total revenue on the current year’s digest that last year’s millage rate would have produced had no reassessments occurred.

The budget to be tentatively adopted by the City of Buford Board of Commissioners requires a millage rate higher than the rollback millage rate, therefore, before the City of Buford Board of Commissioners may finalize the tentative budget and set a final millage rate, Georgia law requires three public hearings to be held to allow the public an opportunity to express their opinions on the increase.

All concerned citizens are invited to the public hearings on this tax increase to be held at the Buford City Hall, 2300 Buford Hwy, Buford, GA 30518, on July 17, 2017 at 7:00 PM and on August 7, 2017 at 10:00 AM and also at 7:00 PM.

Boys and Girls Club staff and partners launched the event several

years ago to address the obesity epidemic among children in Georgia. In fact, Georgia reports the third-highest prevalence of overweight children in the country, spokeswoman Adrienne Leon said.

“Many kids, particularly from low-income neighborhoods, do not have access to healthy food and safe places to play,” said Missy Dugan,

President and CEO of Boys and Girls Clubs of Metro Atlanta. “Programs like this teach our kids that eating right and staying active can be fun. They help kids build healthy habits now we hope will stay with them for a lifetime.”

In preparation for the event, club staff worked with kids to create and maintain a plentiful vegetable garden and held cooking classes where kids learned about fresh ingredients and eating right.

Each club chooses a recipe name, creates a display for their salsa and works to promote their entries during the event.

Judged by experts including top chefs, restaurant owners and fitness professionals, the salsa will be scored using the following criteria: taste, aroma, consistency, presentation and originality.

The winning salsa will be featured at a local Willy’s restaurant this summer.

Oils are meds when used for treatment Dear Dr. rOacH: In a recent column, you discussed an antihistamine and montelukast for allergies. We use pure essential oil. Lavender is better than drugs.

— J.O.S. anSWer: I consider any substance that is taken to relieve a medical symptom or to cure or prevent a disease to be medication or a drug.

For centuries, if not millennia, the drugs in the pharmacopeia mostly were derived from plants. This might mean the whole plant leaf (such as foxglove) or powdered bark (from the willow tree), both of which still are valued and commonly used medications, only they have been purified and standardized as digoxin and aspirin, respectively.

Lavender essential oils can be made several ways, including steam distillation and enfleurage (using a solvent fat to capture the essential oil, then extracting the plant oil with alcohol).

All of the methods capture chemicals of interest from within the plant: With lavender, there are over 100 known compounds; among the most sought-after are linalool, perillyl alcohol and linalyl acetate.

If used on the skin, they are quickly absorbed into the blood. So, when you are using lavender essential oil as a medication, you are using an unregulated and largely unstudied mixture of compounds. That isn’t necessarily a bad thing: Humans have been using essential oils medicinally for centuries, and lavender is considered generally safe.

Lavender as aromatherapy has been tested and found to be effective in reducing anxiety, for example.

However, don’t think that natural products like lavender oil are free of side effects. Any substance has the potential for harm, in the right person and at the right concentration. Lavender oil contains compounds that have female hormone (estrogen) activity and inhibit male hormones (androgens).

Dear Dr. rOacH: A recent column included details about Type 2 diabetes.

As a precaution for older guys like me (over 80), please explain the details of testing to ascertain whether that disease is present or not. I know that tests — A1C, for instance — can give some guidance.

What are the test levels (normal, borderline, high)?

I am always careful about things that may eventually lead to Type 2, which I want to avoid.

— G.M. anSWer: There are now several ways to make the diagnosis of diabetes, but the A1C test, a measurement of the amount of sugar on hemoglobin, is probably the most common. It is also how we monitor its control.

There is no universally accepted cutoff point for the A1C level, but the American Diabetes Association has guidelines that are widely used. Normal is 5.6 percent or less. Increased risk, also called prediabetes or impaired glucose tolerance, is 5.7 percent to 6.4 percent.

Diabetes is 6.5 percent and above.

Family reacts rudely to wedding seating Dear amy: My cousin recently invited us (a family of four) to her son’s wedding. We were disappointed that we were seated all the way to the back, near the door, by the exit of the reception hall.

We also noted that quite a few tables in the middle had only two or three people at them (last-minute no-shows).

I was going to let it go, thinking it was probably the bride’s family that arranged the seating.

However, my cousin’s daughter is getting married next year and my husband asked me if I could request that we be seated somewhere in the middle.

At the son’s wedding, should we have asked to be moved to the empty seats? For the daughter’s wedding, should I ask her early on to seat us in the middle?

Honestly, I am tempted to text my cousin about it, but I don’t know if I should even mention this at all.

Man accused of imprisoning teen waives hearing

BY CAILIN O’BRIEN

cailin.obrien @gwinnettdailypost.com

The man accused of kidnapping and demanding sexual acts from a teenage girl who’d been missing from North Carolina for more than a year waived his preliminary hearing Friday afternoon.

FBI agents and detectives reportedly found the missing girl in a middle-class Duluth neighborhood, in a house belonging to Michael Ren

Wysolovski, 31.

“She was confined in an upstairs bedroom and told Michael she’d be Wysolovski arrested if she left,” according to additional information in a warrant.

The 17-year-old girl had been missing since May 2016, when she vanished from her home in Ballantyne, N.C. At the

time, her father told local news outlets that she left a diary behind detailing her plans to run away with an older man she’d met online.

Some outlets have reported that Wysolovski was texting the teen around that time, asking her to call him “daddy.”

Then, the teen disappeared. Eventually, she moved into a house at 2723 Seneca Trail, which Wysolovski bought on April 14, according to media reports.

The Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners has tentatively adopted a millage rate which will require an increase in property taxes by 11.99 percent.

All concerned citizens are invited to the public hearing on this tax increase to be held at the Gwinnett Justice and Administration Center’s Auditorium, 75 Langley Drive, Lawrenceville, Georgia on July 10, 2017 at 8:30 a.m. and 6:30 p.m.

Times and places of additional public hearings on this tax increase are at the Gwinnett Justice and Administration Center’s Auditorium, 75 Langley Drive, Lawrenceville, Georgia, on July 17th, 2017 at 6:30 p.m.

This tentative increase will result in a millage rate of 7.400 mills, an increase of 0.792 mills. Without this tentative tax increase, the millage rate will be no more than 6.608 mills.

The proposed tax increase for a home with a fair market value of $200,000 is approximately $55.44 and the proposed tax increase for non‐homestead property with a fair market value of $550,000 is approximately $174.24.

FAMILY SUNDAY, JULY 9, 2017 ONLY!

The girl’s mother told a North Carolina media outlet that her daughter met a Romanian woman online.

The girl told the woman she was missing and sent a picture from the window of the room where she was held captive.

The FBI reported that a Special Agent in Charlotte also received information that the teen might be at a home in the Atlanta area.

The teen was reportedly returned to her family “after a brief hospital stay.”

Wysolovski faces

charges of felony aggravated sodomy, felony child cruelty, felony interference with custody and felony false imprisonment. If convicted, he could face more than 55 years in prison.

According to court documents, Wysolovski has never been in trouble in Gwinnett — though recent Facebook posts suggest other women have felt victimized by him in the past.

He’s currently in the Gwinnett County jail without bond.

Blue Cross, other insurers seeking big premium hikes

According to warrants, what was happening inside that closed up two-story house with the Honda Fit sitting in the driveway was anything but normal.

Wysolovski reportedly controlled every aspect of his 17-year-old captive’s life. He even kept a food journal detailing how many calories she’d eaten each day, according to warrants. If the girl ate more calories than Wysolovski thought she should in one day, she wouldn’t be allowed to eat the next.

market.

The total of four Georgia insurers offering individual exchange coverage for 2018 is one fewer than the current year. Humana is exiting the individual market in Georgia, but has filed to offer small-group coverage here in 2018.

The increases still must be approved by state Insurance Commissioner Ralph Hudgens as well as federal officials. And the rates can be altered up till the time of approval.

A spokesman for the insurance department, Glenn Allen, said Thursday, as the rates were publicly released, that Hudgens has to approve the proposed premiums by Aug. 16.

Other states have seen big premium hikes as well.

In Washington state, insurers requested an average premium increase of 22.3 percent. Modern Healthcare reported recently that in Connecticut, where there are just two insurers selling individual plans next year, rate increases range from 15 percent to 34 percent. Most of Virginia’s health insurers asked to hike rates by double digits, with one requesting more than 50 percent rate increase.

The Blue Cross rate increases in Georgia will range from more than 25 percent to 55.7 percent. The company, in its filing, noted the uncertainty over the insurer subsidies to lower patients’ out-of-pocket costs. It covers more than 200,000 Georgians in this year’s exchange.

Blue Cross said its filing 2018 rates “with the assumption that the ... subsidies will be funded throughout the entire 2018 calendar year.”

“However, without

Georgia Health News

Georgia’s largest health insurer is requesting an average premium increase of 40 percent for individual coverage in the Affordable Care Act insurance exchange next year.

Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Georgia is the only health insurer scheduled to deliver a product in all 159 Georgia counties in the exchanges, which are designed to offer coverage to people who don’t get job-based or government health plans.

The insurance exchanges have been buffeted by uncertainty over their future.

The ACA repeal plans of Republicans have created doubt over the marketplaces’ future. And the White House has not committed to funding the subsidies that insurers have received to lower out-of-pocket costs of consumers.

Three other insurers are proposing to offer individual coverage in the Georgia exchange, and each is asking for a double-digit rate hike.

Ambetter of Peach State is seeking an average 12.4 percent increase, with a customer base in metro Atlanta and other regions of the state, including the Savannah area.

Alliant is asking for a premium hike of 18.6 percent. It serves consumers in the northern counties of Georgia. Kaiser Foundation Health Plan of Georgia, focusing on the metro Atlanta area, is seeking a 25 percent average hike.

Kaiser reported a $30 million loss on individual health insurance — policies sold both on the insurance exchange and on the general

certainty of this funding by early June of this year, we will need to evaluate making appropriate adjustments to our filings,’’ the company said. “Such adjustments could include: reducing service area participation, requesting additional rate increases, eliminating certain product offerings or exiting certain individual ACA-compliant markets altogether.”

A lack of subsidies funding, the company said, “introduces a level of volatility which compromises the ability to set rates responsibly.”

Blue Cross also cited increased provider costs and higher patient use of medical services for its proposed rate hikes.

Cindy Zeldin of consumer group Georgians for a Healthy Future, which supports the Affordable Care Act, said Thursday that the rate increases reflect the uncertainty over the exchanges’ future.

That instability, she said, is driven by the subsidies issue and the Republican health care legislation pending in Congress. Zeldin also cited the White House signaling that it may not enforce the tax penalty for people who don’t sign up for coverage under the current ACA individual mandate.

“It’s a very unclear picture where consumers are stuck in the middle, with nothing to hold on to,’’ Zeldin said. “The entire landscape could shift under their feet.’’

She said that under the ACA, most people in the exchange would be shielded from the brunt of the premium hikes by the corresponding increase in the tax credits they receive.

world&nation world Venezuela’s Lopez released from prison to house arrest Venezuelan opposition leader Leopoldo Lopez, whose imprisonment has been a rallying cry for antiregime demonstrators, has been released to house arrest because of health concerns, the nation’s Supreme Court said Saturday morning.

Lopez has been detained since early 2014 over accusations of inciting anti-government protests.

“By the power of Supreme Court Judge Maikel Moreno, the criminal court of the Supreme Court Justice grants house arrest to Leopoldo Lopez due to health problems,” the court tweeted.

A relative of Lopez’s confirmed the news of the house arrest. Details about his physical condition weren’t immediately available.

Trump wants Xi to take action U.S., China leaders hold talks on North Korea

By Dan merica anD elizaBetH lanDers CNN

President Donald Trump has long said China is the lynchpin to solving North Korea’s saber rattling with missile tests. But his tact with the Asian superpower has run the gamut: He has thanked the Chinese for their support, argued they aren’t helping defuse the situation and then written them off as willing partners — all in the span of a few months.

On Saturday in Germany for the G20, Trump urged action on North Korea as he met with Chinese President Xi Jinping.

“Something has to be done about it,” Trump argued ominously during the Iraqi military brief public portion of his says ‘victory is meeting with Xi. very near’ in fight There will “eventually be a success” against Pyongto retake Mosul yang, Trump said. “It may Victory is imminent in the be longer than I like, more heated battle for the remain- than you like, but there will ing ISIS-controlled stretches be a success … one way or of western Mosul, Iraqi Joint the other.”

U.S. military is losing ground to Russia and China in space by having its space programs within the Air Force, when the Air Force’s primary focus is on fighter jets like the F-35. “The Chinese literally have a space force today. Yet the Air Force would continue to force space to compete with F-35s. And we know who’s going to win that competition,” Rogers said.

But the Air Force argues that

the House is taking the wrong approach with its new push for a space corps, because it would create a new bureaucracy within the Air Force, adding more red tape to the process.

“If you’re saying the words separate and space in the same sentence, I would offer, you’re moving in the wrong direction,” Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. David Goldfein told reporters last month.

logical area to cover with transit,” said Nash, who is serving on a state House of Representatives transit study committee. “Our express service is primarily on the I-85 corridor. I-85 — we know that there’s going to have to be other improvements on I-85.”

But the reasons why county officials see I-85 as an important issue go beyond the county’s growing population. Nash said it’s also an important trucking corridor and county officials are keeping an eye on the ongoing expansion of the Port of Savannah. “(Truck traffic) just continues to go up on the 85 corridor,” she said.

“The expansion of the port is going to have an impact on that. We’re just going to see more trucks.”

The regional T-SPLOST that was rejected by voters in 2012 would have provided Gwinnett with $95 million for an I-85 transit corridor study, including a look at rail expansion from Doraville to the Infinite Energy Center.

Gwinnett is now looking at partnering with the Georgia Department of Transportation to possibly split the cost half and half to study possible improvements on the I-85 corridor.

“We’re talking long term now and big, expansive kinds of projects,” Nash said. “I can’t disagree with the fact that 285 needs the improvements that are fixing to be done on it.

I-75 certainly needed its improvements, both north and south, but I-85 is just about saturated.

“You can look at the projected population growth in the county and (see) we’ve got to get something done on I-85.”

only T-SPLOST. The single-county transportation-specific SPLOSTs were approved by the General Assembly two years ago, after many of the regional T-SPLOSTs proposed across the state, including one for the Atlanta region, were rejected by voters in 2012.

Nash said there are some issues with the state’s new county-specific T-SPLOST set up though.

“It’s probably a little premature to even try to tie it down right now,” she said. “The difficulty with a T-SPLOST, a single county T-SPLOST, is that right now the legislation limits that to five years and we really need more assurance, I think, related to having it in place for a longer period of time than that.”

The Georgia Transit Authority and the Georgia Municipal Association have been proponents of longer T-SPLOSTs. In its 2016 list of legislative priorities, the GTA said short transportation SPLOSTs make it hard to compete for federal grants that can be used in big, transit-related capital projects, such as rail investments.

The group also said 20 to 30-year commitments are typically needed for public-private partnerships on such projects.

In January, GMA said it would support a change in state law that would let communities implement T-SPLOSTs that could last as long as 20 years to fund transit and rail projects.

The Association of County Commissioners of Georgia has said it supports adding more flexibility to T-SPLOSTs. Nash said that while there was some movement Funding remains in the legislature this year a key question on possibly extending the While the transit study length of the T-SPLOSTs, could turn up plenty of it ultimately didn’t pan ideas on how to improve out. transit in Gwinnett, there’s The uncertainty of what still one question it will will happen at the state have to keep in mind: How level means it’s unclear will the county pay for it? when a public vote on “It can be very expentransit options in Gwinsive,” Chapman said. nett — something Nash “Its one thing to find the proposed in her State of dollars for the capital imthe County speech — will provement, but we’ve also happen. got to look long term at “We want to see what operating the system, and the legislature does, if how expensive that would anything, to maybe extend be and how it would be the amount of time for a funded continuously.” single-county T-SPLOST,” He later said federal Nash said. “There are a funding for transit projects lot of legislators (on the would need to be looked at House study committee), as well. so hopefully I’ll get some One option for at least insight in terms of what paying for the infrastructhey’re thinking for a ture could be a Gwinnetttimetable.”

“I am humbled by the challenges that lie ahead, yet I am confident that the successes we’ve had in Georgia will provide me with a foundation for guiding the work of the CDC,” Fitzgerald said in a statement. “The progress we’ve made in Georgia around early brain development, childhood obesity and creating a model for addressing the Ebola epidemic would not have been possible without the full support of Governor Deal and a dedicated public health staff.”

She is currently president-elect of the nonprofit group that represents the nation’s public health agencies, the Association of State and Territorial Health Officials.

In making the announcement Friday morning, Price said in a statement: “Having known Dr. Fitzgerald for many years, I know that she has a deep appreciation and understanding of medicine, public health, policy and leadership — all qualities that will prove vital as she leads the CDC in its work to protect America’s health 24/7.”

Fitzgerald will take over the CDC at a critical time, as emerging disease

outbreaks such as Ebola, Zika and antibiotic-resistant infections pose growing threats worldwide, the Washington Post reported.

Every president since Ronald Reagan has faced such threats, and experts say it is only a matter of time until at least one pandemic outbreak of an infectious disease confronts Trump, the Post article said.

“More than ever, CDC plays a critical role in safeguarding both U.S. and global health, providing technical assistance to partner countries to help prevent, detect and respond to future outbreaks before they spread, and scaling up immunizations and other critical public health interventions that save millions of lives every year,” noted David Fleming, an executive at PATH, an international health technology nonprofit working with countries to improve disease-detecting abilities, the Post reported.

Fitzgerald “brings to this position decades of experience in managing public health policy and practice and a deep professional background in women’s health care,” he said.

Frieden said he welcomed the appointment.

“It’s a good thing that she has experience running a public health agency,” he said, according to the Post.

“That’s critically important to being successful at CDC.” Fitzgerald, though, will take the reins of an agency with hundreds of job vacancies and a big proposed budget cut.

The administration is proposing a $1.2 billion cut — 17 percent — for the agency in fiscal 2018.

If implemented, it would result in the lowest CDC budget in more than 20 years.

If the Affordable Care Act is repealed, as is being considered in Congress, the CDC would lose the Prevention Fund, which is part of the ACA. The CDC would lose $890 million of funding annually — 12 percent of the Atlanta-based agency’s budget.

And states would lose more than $3 billion over the next five years — from grants and programs supported by the Prevention Fund. That would include $20 million in public health funding to Georgia each year over five years, or a total of $100 million, a report said.

“Her perspectives gained from clinical practice as well as serving as chief of a state public health agency will be crucial to her success” at CDC, said Jay Butler, ASTHO’s president and chief medical officer for

Heirloom vegetables making a comeback Varieties of heirloom vegetables have existed for 50 to 100 years or more.

The seeds of these plants were saved and passed down to future generations. Many are open-pollinated, meaning they are pollinated by wind or insects, while others are self-pollinated.

The next generation of plants that come from these seeds is true to type, meaning they maintain their qualities year after year.

With the development of newer hybridized varieties with improved characteristics, heirloom vegetables fell into disfavor. However, in recent years, heirloom varieties have started making a comeback with gardeners planting them in everincreasing numbers.

Why? Generally speaking, heirlooms have better taste and tenderness than the newer hybrid varieties.

Hybrid varieties are the result of cross-pollination of two distinctly different plant varieties with desirable traits that have been inbred over multiple generations. Their progeny has certain favorable characteristics such as disease resistance, larger fruit, uniform maturity, and the ability to be stored longer after harvesting.

Heirloom varieties

Gardening in Gwinnett

Tim Daly frequently lack these traits. The seeds of hybrid plants rarely produce plants resembling the parent plants and are not suitable for saving.

Seed saved from heirloom varieties and sown the following growing season will produce plants that are identical to the parent plant.

There is some risk of cross-pollination in openpollinated vegetables such as squash, cucumbers, lettuce, cabbages, and radishes. They could produce seeds that are not true to type.

To reduce the chances of this occurring, do not plant more than one variety of each heirloom vegetable. However, selfpollinating vegetables, such as tomatoes, peppers, peas, and beans, seldom cross-pollinate. Their seeds can be saved from year to year without having to isolate the varieties.

To save seeds of heirloom vegetables, gather the seeds from the healthiest and strongest growing

plants. Let the plant or fruit fully mature, allowing the fruit to become large and over-ripened.

Then remove the seeds.

Those that have a lot of pulp attached to them, such as tomatoes, squash, and cantaloupe, should be placed in a jar of water for a few days.

Rinse the seeds off, remove any remaining pulp, and then spread the seeds out on paper to dry. Peas, beans, and corn should be allowed to turn yellow and dry on the vine or stalk. Remove the seeds and let them dry in a dark, warm place.

For lettuce, spinach, cabbage and some herbs, let seed heads form on stalks after the blossoms fade.

Cut the stems and hang them in a cool location out of sunlight for drying.

You may want to put a bag around them to collect seeds that drop.

When the seeds have dried out, place them in a tightly closed glass jar, add some silica gel packets to the container to keep it dry, and store the jar in a refrigerator to increase the amount of time the seeds can remain viable.

A psychological examination is pending for a man who allegedly caused a nearly five-hour SWAT situation by shooting at deputies and barricading himself in his Lawrenceville home in May. Gregory Keith Mann, 46, was due in court for a preliminary hearing Friday morning. But his attorney, Daniel Klump, asked to reset the hearing while Mann underwent a psychological exam.

“He doesn’t seem like he understands what’s going on,” Klump said.

“I want to make sure he understands.”

Mann barricaded himself in his Saratoga Drive home after allegedly firing shots at Gwinnett County sheriff’s deputies who were trying to serve him with eviction-type paper-

work on May 24.

At about 2 p.m., the SWAT unit was called in to try Gregory to talk the Mann man out of the house. SWAT vehicles showed up, followed by Gwinnett County police cars, Gwinnett County sheriff’s cars, ambulances and fire trucks. Officials blocked a large section of the neighborhood, leaving a handful of neighbors unable to get back to their homes.

After about five hours, Mann surrendered peacefully. He was booked into Gwinnett County jail at 7:41 p.m., where he’s being held without bond.

Mann faces two counts of aggravated assault.

His preliminary trial will be held at 8:30 a.m.

he hopes to uncover better management methods for these pathogens.

In his new role at UGA, Oliver will also help the citrus industry continue to expand in Georgia. More than 150 acres of satsuma oranges — potentially more than 21,750 new citrus trees — have been planted in south Georgia in the last four years, according to Jacob Price, UGA Extension Agriculture and Natural Resources agent in Lowndes County.

Oliver is researching citrus greening, a bacte-

rial disease that has wiped out a substantial number of trees in Florida. The disease, spread by an insect that has been found in south Georgia, is the largest threat to citrus production worldwide, according to Oliver. While citrus greening has been found only in Georgia’s coastal counties, Oliver says he wants to be proactive in keeping extension county agents updated on its progression.

“Citrus greening in Georgia’s citrus is a question,” he said. “If it’s likely to be a problem, we should

know before people get too invested in growing more citrus in the state.”

Oliver is also working to ensure that Georgia farmers plant disease-free citrus seedlings.

“It’s important that all commodities, especially perennial fruit crops, start with clean material,” he said. “I’m interested in different ways that we can screen seedlings and the different treatments that growers might apply when they initially plant their crop.”

Oliver is conducting

research at the UGA Tifton campus and at neighboring research stations in Alapaha and Alma.

Oliver earned undergraduate degrees in plant pathology and microbiology and cell science from the University of Florida and a doctoral degree in plant pathology from Cornell University.

A WAY WITH WORDS

Lawrenceville veteran releases first novel

BY SAVANNAH PEAT Staff Intern

A tale of love, existential questions and an internal battle against supernatural evil — this is the basis for John Bensley’s novel, “Finnegan.”

Bensley, a former army ordnance soldier stationed during Desert Storm and current wildlife photographer, completed this first novel after five years of work.

The novel centers around a young Finnegan Barrett, an award-winning army soldier who falls for Nora Callin.

Lawrenceville’s John Bensley recently released his first novel, “Finnegan,” far right. The story follows soldier Finnegan Barrett in his contemplation of God. (Special Photos)

Alongside this, Finnegan finds himself contemplating the purpose of God, evil and wickedness.

“What Finnegan deals with is a contemplation of ‘Is God real?’ and ‘If He’s real, does He even care?’ and ‘If He is real and He does care, is my life a part of His purpose?’”

Bensley said.

These religious themes and thought-provoking questions Bensley provide in the book are the same which he feels can be applied to everyday life.

“Many times we think something is a bad thing in

our own life, but the entire time it was God’s sovereignty,” he said.

Bensley learned a large amount about writing throughout the novel’s progression, and dedicated “Finnegan” to his wife, Stacy, and his daughter, Chelsea.

Bensley already has a prequel in the works, and intends for both to affect the reader immensely.

“I think it will affect their soul; I think they will identify with Finnegan in one way or another, whether it is with his weakness or his strengths,” he said.

Democrats still lining up to challenge Woodall The field of Democrats aiming to take on U.S. Rep. Rob Woodall in next year’s District 7 congressional election has continued to grow as new candidates jump into the race.

Georgia State University Andrew Young School of Policy Studies assistant director Carolyn Bourdeaux announced her candidacy this past week, on the heels of Peachtree Corners attorney Steve Reilly’s announcement that he, too, would run for the Carolyn Bourdeaux seat.

Gwinnett Place CID officials seeking public input on area

BY CURT YEOMANS curt.yeomans @gwinnettdailypost.com

Is the Gwinnett Place area a good place, or does it need some work?

That question is at the heart of a new online survey campaign by the Gwinnett Place Community Improvement District to gather feedback from people in the area. The CID is asking people to answer one main question about the district, which is anchored by Gwinnett Place Mall — it wants to

know what their perceptions of the area are.

District officials also want to know where and when people shop or dine in the area.

“The Gwinnett Place CID wants to ensure the plans and changes we make going forward reflect the needs of the community of people who live, work and play in Gwinnett Place,” Gwinnett Place CID Executive Director Joe Allen said.

“More than 97,000 people live within three miles of Gwinnett Place,

and 60,000 commuters work here, and their feedback is important as we work to establish it as a location where the workers and residents of Gwinnett Place stay to dine, shop and be entertained. We welcome feedback from the public.”

The survey will be available online through July 31, and CID officials said it is anonymous and should take about five minutes to complete.

The survey can be found at www.surveymonkey. com/r/GPCID.

N. Korea: Rubicon is crossed WASHINGTON — Across 25 years and five administrations, we have kicked the North Korean can down the road. We are now out of road.

On July 4, North Korea tested an intercontinental ballistic missile apparently capable of hitting the United States. As yet, only Alaska. Soon, every American city.

Moreover, Pyongyang claims to have already fitted miniaturized nuclear warheads on intermediate range missiles. Soon, on ICBMs. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson’s initial reaction to this game changer was not encouraging.

“Global action is required to stop a global threat,” he declared.

This, in diplo-speak, Charles is a cry for (multilateral) Krauthammer help. Alas, there will be none. Because, while this is indeed a global threat, there is no such thing as global interests. There are individual national interests and they diverge. In this case, radically.

Take Russia and China. If there’s to be external pressure on North Korea, it would come from them.

Will it? On Tuesday, they issued a joint statement proposing a deal: North Korea freezes nuclear and missile testing in return for America abandoning large-scale joint exercises with South Korea.

This is a total nonstarter. The exercises have been the backbone of the U.S.-South Korea alliance for half a century. Abandonment would signal the end of an enduring relationship that stabilizes the region and guarantees South Korean independence. In exchange for what?

A testing freeze? The offer doesn’t even pretend to dismantle North Korea’s nuclear program, which has to be our minimal objective. Moreover, we’ve negotiated multiple freezes over the years with Pyongyang.

It has violated every one.

The fact that Russia and China would, amid a burning crisis, propose such a dead-on-arrival proposal demonstrates that their real interest is not denuclearization. Their real interest is cutting America down to size by breaking our South Korean alliance and weakening our influence in the Pacific Rim. These are going to be our partners in solving the crisis?

And yet, relying on China’s good graces appeared to be Donald Trump’s first resort for solving North Korea. Until he declared two weeks ago (by tweet, of course) that China had failed. “At least I know China tried!” he added.

They did? Trump himself tweeted out on Wednesday that Chinese trade with North Korea increased by almost 40 percent in the first quarter, forcing him to acknowledge that the Chinese haven’t been helping.

Indeed not. The latest North Korean missile is menacing not just because of its 4,000-mile range, but because it is road mobile. And the transporter comes from China.

In the calculus of nuclear deterrence, mobility guarantees inviolability. (The enemy cannot find, and therefore cannot pre-empt, a mobile missile.)

It’s a huge step forward for Pyongyang. Supplied by Beijing.

How many times must we be taught that Beijing does not share our view of denuclearizing North Korea? It prefers a divided peninsula, i.e., sustaining its client state as a guarantee against a unified Korea (possibly nuclear) allied with the West and sitting on its border.

Nukes assure regime survival. That’s why the Kims have so single-mindedly pursued them. The lessons are clear. Saddam Hussein, no nukes: hanged. Moammar Gadhafi, gave up his nuclear program: killed by his own people. The Kim dynasty, possessing an arsenal of 10-16 bombs: untouched, soon untouchable.

What are our choices? Trump has threatened that if China doesn’t help we’ll have to go it alone. If so, the choice is binary: acquiescence or war.

War is almost unthinkable, given the proximity of the Demilitarized Zone to the 10 million people of Seoul. A mere conventional war would be devastating. And could rapidly go nuclear.

Acquiescence is not unthinkable. After all, we did it when China went nuclear under Mao Zedong, whose regime promptly went insane under the Cultural Revolution.

The hope for a third alternative, getting China to do the dirty work, is mostly wishful thinking. There’s talk of sanctioning other Chinese banks. Will that really change China’s strategic thinking? Bourgeois democracies believe that economics supersedes geostrategy. Maybe for us. But for dictatorships? Rarely.

If we want to decisively alter the strategic balance, we could return U.S. tactical nukes (withdrawn in 1991) to South Korea. Or we could encourage Japan to build a nuclear deterrent of its own. Nothing would get more quick attention from the Chinese. They would face a radically new strategic dilemma: Is preserving North Korea worth a nuclear Japan?

We do have powerful alternatives. But each is dangerous and highly unpredictable. Which is why the most likely ultimate outcome, by far, is acquiescence.

Trump not country’s first maverick I spent the weekend in Medora, N.D. It’s a shame more people don’t visit Medora. It’s a grand place at the base of the North Dakota Badlands.

While I was there, I decided to visit the town library/archives. I read several newspapers while I was there — not just local papers, mind you, but from all over the country.

I was astonished at some of the things I read in those newspapers. Allow me to share a few examples.

“Will the president save or destroy our country?” That was a headline.

“This president is determined to undermine the will of Congress at every turn.

Even his fellow Republicans refuse to go along with his outrageous proposals. He must be stopped or the status quo of our government will never survive.”

“The belligerence of the President of the United States is a fearful thing. He is almost certain to draw this nation into an unwanted conflict or even all-out war.”

“The president’s recent remarks about immigrants, especially in reference to his insistence that they abandon their own cultures and embrace the English language or leave is downright mean and undermines our relationships with other nations. He is

summer. They were written between 1901 and 1908 and were written about Theodore Roosevelt, not Donald Trump.

But they do sound familiar, do they not?

I wish we’d had twitter in TR’s day — not to mention 24 news channels.

man in his decisions. He was a great believer in individualism and believed that every man should be given the opportunity to earn his way — but should, indeed, earn his way.

He was always ready to make a deal, if that deal seemed to benefit the United States. He broke up trust after trust after trust, but allowed J.P. Morgan to keep his conglomeration together, in exchange for loaning the United States enough money to pay off her debt. Talk about the art of the deal.

Theodore Roosevelt. He was a man’s man. He was his own man. He was a very controversial figure, vilified

by Democrats and members of his own party who could not control him and wildly popular with the common man in America — though he, himself, was very wealthy.

The more things change, the more they remain the same.

God bless TR, and may the American people stand up and insist that Congress and the fake news media give our current president an opportunity to pursue his agenda and fulfill his promise to make America great again.

Skeeter Skates learns about social media I don’t need Caller ID to know when Skeeter Skates is calling. The phone has a different kind of sound to it, like very impatient. That’s to be expected. Skeeter Skates, owner of Skeeter Skates Plow Repair and Stump Removal in Ryo, Ga., is an impatient man. I guess it goes with the business.

Skeeter isn’t big on preambles. Before I could even say hello, he barked, “Hoss, I need some advice and I don’t have all day to talk about it. I’m looking at a bunch of rusted bolts on a Massey Harris P4086 14-inch plow blade that ain’t going to jump up and fix itself.” This was certainly a surprise. Skeeter Skates isn’t one to seek advice. I just hoped I was up to the task.

“The plow repair and stump removal business is both dynamic and ever-evolving,” Skeeter opined, “and if I want to maintain my position as an industry leader, I must continue to hone my communications skills.” I wasn’t sure where this was going but I told him that was a reasonable assumption.

“As you know,” Skeeter said, “I ain’t got much use for you newspaper boys, but you must know a little something about communi-

“In the first place,” I said, “it isn’t Face Paint. It is Facebook.” Just like knowing the difference in a brush grubber and a steer skid stump grinder, nomenclature is important.

“What does it do?” Skeeter asked. I had to admit that I am Dick probably not the highest and Yarbrough best source on the subject of Facebook. I said as best I can cating. Otherwise, you would figure, Facebook is a place have to go get a real job and where you let people know get some grease under your your dog died and they all tell fingernails.” I have not been you how sorry they are and very successful in convincing then proceed to tell you about the man that writing columns their trip to Panama City.

me. “Hoss,” he said, “I have read your stuff for a long time and you have trouble making sense in 700 words, forget 140 characters.” It takes a thick skin to deal with Skeeter Skates.

Skeeter wanted to know why the president is always tweeting. I said I didn’t know but that I thought most folks wished he would stop and spend more time trying to unite the country. Skeeter chuckled, “That ought to get you a bunch of angry twerps.”

I think he meant tweets but in this case, he may be more right than wrong.

Skeeter said he had to go. There were plows to be repaired and stumps to be removed. He would think over what I had said but Face Paint and twerping sounded like a monumental waste of time to him. If his dog died, he said he would call me up and tell me and that he wasn’t interested in hearing about anybody’s trip to Panama City. With that, he hung up. In many ways, Skeeter Skates is a man ahead of his time.

Veteran offensive line could be the key for Central

Central returns three senior starters along the LAWRENCEVILLE — offensive line, another During his eight years as senior will start at center the head football coach at and a junior at guard.

ing game. It kind of lets us really, really dictate what we want to do as an offense and the defense can’t sit on one thing.”

Left tackle Jalen King, right tackle Tyrell Earl and right guard Brandon Joseph all return as starters. Senior Abraham Salzar will start at center and junior Khatavion McBride is moving from defensive end to left guard.

Earl, Joseph and McBride will also rotate in as defensive linemen for Central. Wofford refers to

them as “big skill guys” because of what he and his staff ask of them.

Joseph is committed to Georgia State and Earl has five offers, highlighted by Army and Georgia Southern.

The group averages 270 pounds, which allows Central to still run its up-tempo pace, but still move the pile when it wants to establish the run.

The hurry-up offense has become Central’s tradeCentral Gwinnett’s Joshua Samuel (25) runs for yardmark, which is why every age as teammate Brandon Joseph blocks Parkview’s P.J. Welch (59) in the first half of last year’s game. (Photo:

When a high school football program has struggled as much as Berkmar has over the past several years, it’s understandable that head coach Kenan Dever has kept the team’s goals during offseason workouts simple this summer.

“We’re just trying to improve across the board,” Dever said. “We’re working to get stronger and to get mentally prepared to face (competition in) this county.”

While Dever’s goals have been quite general, there is at least one specific area he’s been focusing on through the 7-on7 season and other summer workouts As the Patriots try to put and end to the program’s current 37-game losing streak at some point during the 2017 season.

And while there are plenty of things on the field issues to address, the specific area he has in mind is centered more in the locker room — namely, finding leadership.

“We’re trying to find kids who have the pride to come out and play football,” Dever said. “And we want to keep those kids involved in the program. … It sets the groundwork, and that’s always a big thing when you’re as young as we are in terms of playing experience.”

To lay that groundwork, Dever and his staff will lean on a handful of individuals who do have some experience to set the example he is looking for from the younger players.

Among those individuals are senior linebacker Mike Nguyen, who is among the Patriots’ top returning tackles after posting 65 combined stops last year, junior Fernando Contreras, who posted 27 tackles from the defensive line in 2016, and senior offensive lineman Cliff Rimple, who graded out at 88 percent on his blocking assignments last fall.

Aside from their abilities on the field, Dever says he’s liked what he’s seen from their leading through spring practice in May through the summer so far.

“Mike’s been our leader on defense during 7-on-7 (camps and leagues),” Dever said. “Just getting guys lined up and where they needed to be. He’s been the senior leader we’ve needed him to be.

“Fernando played a lot for us as a sophomore last year, and he and Cliff are getting better every day. They’re really worked hard in every area. The last two years, I think Cliff has missed only four (total) workouts, and that sets an example that the rest can follow.”

With his long bushy beard and scraggly hair, Charlie Blackmon is hardly trying to appear South Beach chic.

The Colorado Rockies center fielder will fit in perfectly the next few days in Miami, though, despite his frontier look.

Blackmon’s All-Star Game credentials are definitely legit and show just how far the late-bloomer has come since his first stop after graduating from North Gwinnett High School was as a pitcher at tiny Young Harris College.

Blackmon, who turned 31 last Saturday, was voted a National League starter for the All-Star Game on Tuesday night at Marlins Park, and will take his place among the game’s elite after a long, uphill struggle to reach that level.

“It’s really cool, and I’m very appreciative and thank-

ful to have the support of the fans,” Blackmon said. “This is a big deal in my book, because that’s why we play. For the fans.”

Despite his popularity with the Rockies faithful, Blackmon wasn’t just the beneficiary of a hometown internet voting campaign. His first-half numbers spoke for themselves.

Blackmon went into the

weekend batting .314 with 17 doubles, 10 triples, 18 homers, 59 RBIs and 67 runs scored.

The left-handed batter and thrower led the National League in hits and total bases and all of the Majors in triples.

Blackmon was doing all this from the leadoff spot, too. Daren Erstad of the 2000 Angels is the only player to

drive in 100 runs while batting first, and he may have company after this season.

Blackmon has a simple explanation for his continuing development as a hitter and player.

“I just try to learn as much as I can from the experience I’ve gained and implement it into my game going forward,” he said. “Pick up a little bit as I go and try to be a little better than I was the day before.”

Blackmon had a .324 batting average with 29 homers, 82 RBI and 111 runs scored a season ago, so his success See BLACKMON, Page 4B

Providence, Conley both dealing with a learning curve

By DaviD FrieDlanDer david.friedlander@ gwinnettdailypost.com

Every coaching change in high school football requires a period of adjustment for both the team and the new coach, especially during summer workouts prior to that first season.

So it comes as no surprise that first-year Providence Christian coach Providence’s David Sloan catches a touchdown for the Parker Conley and his Storm against Fulton Leadership during last season’s team are undergoing such game at Vaught Stadium in Lilburn. (Photo: Dale Zanine) an adjustment period this

summer, though in this case, it seems the coach may have more to get used to than the players.

After all, the Norcross grad and former Blue Devils tight end/receiver/ punter already knows most of his players by serving as the team’s quarterbacks coach last season.

In addition, there is the fact that at just 24 years old, Conley is not only in his first head coaching job, but is also Gwinnett County’s youngest head coach.

But despite being as little as just six years older than some of his seniors, he says he’s becoming more and more comfortable establishing his authority over the team as the summer progresses, while at the same time being able to relate closely with his players.

“It’s true there’s a lot to get used to,” Conley said.

“But the biggest thing I’ve been trying to instill in the (team’s) mindset is (the players) trying to be the best teammate they

can possibility be. … It’s been different, but I love it just because I’m pulling on everything I’ve learned from high school and college summer training. I’m just trying to think back to what I felt like as a player — the mornings I didn’t want to get up (early for practice or workouts), the mornings that I did not like having to run those extra sprints.

“It’s been great as a coach because I feel like

No. 1 Kerber rallies to top Rogers The SporTS Xchange Top-seeded Angelique Kerber rallied from a set and a break down to hold off the upset bid of American Shelby Rogers in the third round at Wimbledon on Saturday.

The world No. 1 from Germany returned to the fourth round and the second week for the third time in the last four years with a 4-6, 7-6 (2), 6-4 victory at the All England Club in London.

After dropping the opening set, Kerber trailed 3-1 in the second to Rogers, who had never been past the first round in two previous appearances at the grass-court major.

“I was down 2-4, and I think I had break point also against me 2-5,” Kerber said afterward. “It was tough to find my rhythm actually. She played very well from the first point. She was hitting the balls very hard. I was just trying to finding at the end my rhythm. In the second set, I was starting to feeling the ball better and better.

“I think the key was at the end that I was fighting, and I was never giving up at the end, doesn’t matter how the score was.”

Kerber was the runner-up to Serena Williams at the Grand Slam event last year during her breakthrough season. Kerber won her first two major titles at the Australian Open and U.S. Open in 2016.

“The key in the second set, I was really fighting and I was moving better, I was running better to every single ball,” the German left-hander said of Saturday’s comeback. “I think I start to feeling the ball in the tiebreak in the second set. I was playing really good. Then the third set was also a few up and downs, but it was better tennis also from my side.”

CoCo Vandeweghe, the No. 24 seed, is back into the Round of 16 for the third year on a row after defeating fellow American Alison Riske 6-2, 6-4 in one hour, 15 minutes.

Vandeweghe fired seven aces and won 85 percent of the points behind her first delivery.

“Alison is a great player, she started to swing a little bit freer in what she was doing,” Vandeweghe said, explaining her opponent being down 4-0 in the second set. “You know, when you’re down a set and two breaks, you’d think to just kind of let loose.

“I kind of got a little bit tentative, but, you know, kind of reset myself and got back to work. Kept it close

in the next service game.

Got a little lucky and got that one, and then I was no way I was letting the next one go.”

Vandeweghe will next face No. 5 seed Caroline Wozniacki of Denmark for a spot in the quarterfinals.

Wozniacki, from Denmark, advanced to the fourth round for the sixth time, rallying to beat Anett Kontaveit of Estonia 3-6, 7-6 (3), 6-2.

Wozniacki has reached four WTA finals in 2017 and is bidding for her first-ever quarterfinals appearance at Wimbledon in 11 main draw appearances.

“I felt she started to get just a little bit nervous at the end of the second set and I just went for it at that point,” Wozniacki said.

No. 14 seed Garbine Muguruza of Spain reached the fourth round with a 6-2, 6-2 win over Sorana Cirstea of Romania.

Muguruza, the 2015 Wimbledon runner-up and 2016 French Open champion, finished with 18 winners and only 10 unforced errors.

She did not drop a set during the first week.

“I’m feeling pretty good.

I felt today I improve a little bit my game compared to the previous matches,” Muguruza said after her third-round mtach. “I’m happy the way I’m playing out there. It’s not easy. I’m working hard. I’m kind of doing what I’m working on.

“It’s great obviously to reach the second week.

That’s everybody’s goal, to go through the first week, the first matches, then the exciting part comes now in a way.”

Cirstea advanced to the third round when her previous opponent, American Bethanie Mattek-Sands, suffered a gruesome knee injury during the third set on Thursday.

Seventh-seeded Svetlana Kuznetsova of Russia made her way into the second week of a Grand Slam for the 32nd time in her career with a 6-4, 6-0 trouncing of qualifier Polona Hercog of Slovenia in 65 minutes.

Ninth-seeded Agnieszka Radwanska of Poland beat No. 19 seed Timea Bacsinszky of Switzerland 3-6, 6-4, 6-1. Radwanska came to the All England Club after battling a foot injury for most of the season.

Magdalena Rybarikova of Slovakia advanced to the fourth round for the first time with a 6-2, 6-1 beating of Lesia Tsurenko of Ukraine, and Petra Martic of Croatia stopped Zarina Diyas of Kazakhstan 7-6 (6), 6-1.

Querrey finishes suspended match; Djokovic, Federer win in straight sets The SporTS Xchange Second-seeded Novak Djokovic and No. 3 seed Roger Federer were in top form Saturday as they both won in straight sets to reach the fourth round at Wimbledon.

Djokovic, a three-time Wimbledon champion from Serbia, beat Ernests Gulbis of Latvia 6-4, 6-1, 7-6 (2), reeling off nine games in a row at one stage on Centre Court at the All England Club in London.

Federer, a seven-time champion at the Grand Slam grass-court event, cruised to a 7-6 (3), 6-4, 6-4 win over 27th-seeded Mischa Zverev of Germany in Saturday’s final match on Centre Court.

Djokovic, who extended his head-to-head against Gulbis to 7-1, is through to the fourth round at Wimbledon for the 10th time. He picked up his 236th win at a major.

“I am delighted with my performance today,” Djokovic said in a television interview afterward. ”I thought I raised the level of tennis,” Djokovic said in a television interview after the match that took two hours, 12 minutes. “Comparing to the first couple of matches and the last couple of weeks, I think this was the most focused I was on the court.

“And it came at the right time because Gulbis presents a great challenge.

He is very unpredictable and he’s got a huge serve, an average of 125 or 130 mph. It’s not easy playing on grass against a big server like that.”

Djokovic will next face Adrian Mannarino, who defeated fellow Frenchman and No. 15 seed Gael Monfils 7-6 (3), 4-6, 5-7, 6-3, 6-2 in three hours, 30 minutes.

Djokovic’s lone meeting with Mannarino came at at

the All England Club last year, with the Serbian scoring a straight-sets win in the second round.

Federer hammered 61 winners to just seven errors, winning 83 percent of his first-serve points to prevail over Zverev in one hour, 49 minutes.

The victory puts the Swiss into the second week at Wimbledon for the 15th time in his career.

“It’s important to get through the first week with a good feeling and I think I got that,” Federer said.

“The first match with the walkover saved me a lot of energy, crucial energy. We go one round at a time. The first goal is to get through to the second week and I am happy to sit back and relax and then come back on Monday.”

Federer will next play 13th-seeded Grigor Dimitrov, who moved through after Dudi Sela of Israel was forced to retire because of a right adductor strain in their third-round match.

The Bulgarian was leading 6-1, 6-1 before play came to a close as Sela became the ninth men’s player to retire from a match at this year’s tournament.

Federer leads 5-0 in

his head-to-head against Dimitrov, a Wimbledon semifinalist in 2014. All of their meetings have come on hard courts.

Canada’s sixth-seeded Milos Raonic, last year’s runner-up at Wimbledon, advanced to the second week by beating 25th-seeded Albert Ramos-Vinolas of Spain 7-6 (3), 6-4, 7-5.

Raonic fired 21 aces and won 83 percent of his service points during the two-hour, 21-minute match.

He finished with 55 winners and 26 unforced errors.

“I did a lot of things well today,” Raonic said. “I was efficient on my serve, created a bunch of opportunities. I started getting better and better there. Maybe at the beginning I wasn’t controlling the situation enough.

But as the match went on, I felt like I was dictating more so from the baseline.”

Raonic, who lost to Andy Murray in last year’s final, is into the fourth round for the third time in four years.

American Sam Querrey, seeded No. 24, took only four minutes on court Saturday to beat Jo-Wilfried Tsonga France 6-2, 3-6, 7-6 (5), 1-6, 7-5.

The third-round match was suspended Friday by

darkness after 2 hours, 54 minutes with Querrey leading 6-5 in the fifth set.

Tsonga served first upon resumption of the match, but Querrey immediately broke to seal the victory.

“I told myself to try to be aggressive,” said Querrey, who reached the Wimbledon quarterfinals last year.

“On the last game I had a little bit of the house money since I was returning first and I kind of had a game to play with. I think that helped.”

Querrey made headlines at the All England Club last year when he stunned Djokovic in the third round.

“Grass is probably my favorite surface. Wimbledon is my favorite tournament,” Querrey said. “And for the first time in my career to have back-to-back years where I have made the second week is exciting.”

Querrey will next face South Africa’s Kevin Anderson, whom he leads 7-5 in head-to-head play. “(Anderson has) one of the best serves in the game,” Querrey said. “A lot of times when you play a big server you actually need to focus on your own serve more, because sometimes you can take it for granted that I’m just going to hold and you’ll be good. It’s going to come down to a couple points here or there.”

German Alexander Zverev, the No. 10 seed, will play in the second week of a Grand Slam for the first time as the 20-yearold secured his spot in the fourth round with a 6-4, 6-4, 6-2 victory against Austrian qualifier Sebastian Ofner.

No. 11 seed Tomas Berdych of the Czech Republic won 84 percent of his first-serve points to beat Spaniard David Ferrer 6-3, 6-4, 6-3 in one hour, 45 minutes.

Brooks headed for Tech HOF

By Stan awtrey Staff Correspondent

It wasn’t exactly a lowkey situation that awaited Durant Brooks when he pulled the gold Georgia Tech helmet on his head and ran onto the field at Bobby Dodd Stadium to punt for the first time.

There was no easing-in period. No chance to break in against a Presbyterian or a Wofford.

The opponent was Notre Dame and the Irish were ranked among the nation’s best. Grant Field was packed, even those seats in the upper reaches of the East Stands. It was such a big deal that ESPN sent their College Game Day crew.

“I was so nervous,” said Brooks, who now lives with his family in Peachtree Corners.

“Everybody was going nuts. Not everybody realizes that everybody gets nervous, but when you play another position, you get to run on the field and hit somebody and you’re OK. When you walk on the field as a punter, you’ve got to control your thoughts and nerves.”

As Brooks took his position, he received a made-to-order snap from always-reliable long snapper Bret White and let it rip. It wasn’t exactly a tight spiral, but it was effective. The ball rolled out of bounds at the Notre Dame 18 and had traveled 40 yards.

“It ended up OK, if you look at the stats,” he said with a laugh. “The game ended up really well, something like a 48-yard average. We didn’t get the win, that was the only thing.”

Georgia Tech lost the game 14-10. Brooks kicked seven times for 48.1-yard average. Three kicks exceeded 50 yards.

Four of them finished inside the 20.

That kick launched the career of perhaps the greatest punter in the long history of the Georgia Tech program. Brooks had no way of knowing at the time that he was on his way to a becoming one of the greatest Yellow Jackets. This fall, he will be inducted into the Georgia Tech Hall of Fame, an honor that was announced last week.

“It’s just unbelievable,” Brooks said. “It’s humbling. The fact that I’m even mentioned in the same category with Calvin Johnson. It’s amazing to come from where I came from, a small town, and work to where I got to and 10 years later going into the Georgia Tech Hall of

Fame.”

Brooks grew up in tiny Gordon, Ga., a town in Wilkinson County that has a population of 2,000plus. Brooks attended school in Macon, first at Tattnall Square, then at Stratford Academy, and finishing at Tattnall, where his father, Paul, coached football.

Brooks was a good athlete and played both sides at the small school. He punted, too, but estimated he practiced that part of the game once a week at the most. He began to get interested in Georgia Tech late in his high school career, but it was too late to warrant any scholarship interest, so he opted to kick at Georgia Military.

He shifted his focus to punting. Brooks and the GMC placekicker spent every day in the solitude of the upper field. Punt after punt, he worked and worked.

“That’s where I worked on my punting for two years,” he said. “We just worked on kicking and punting. We didn’t have a special teams coach. I had been to a couple of Ray Guy camps and I took what I learned from those total four days of camp

and continued to work on it.”

He began to figure things out and his hard work began to get noticed.

Clemson and South Carolina both came calling, but offered only preferred walk-on status. By this time Brooks had his mind set on Georgia Tech. He was aware of the punting situation and saw his opening with the Yellow Jackets.

He joined the program, sat out a year as a redshirt while he took a heavy load of classes in order to be eligible. The next year, with the incumbent out of the way, Brooks won the job and began setting records.

In two seasons he averaged 45.31 yards per punt — nearly four yards better than the next-best punter — and 40.42 net yards. Of his 144 career punts, 68 were downed inside the 20 and 57 were 50-plus yards.

The best was a 77-yarder against North Carolina. He was All-ACC in 2006 and 2007 and a second-team All-America choice both years. He was a finalist for the Ray Guy Award, given to the nation’s best punter, in 2006 and won the award in 2007.

“Looking back at some of the records I broke or came close to … it really is amazing,” he said. “I’ve been thinking about the Hall of Fame speech I’m going to give and I want people to understand that one of the reasons was I had such a great coverage team around me.

“I had to hit a good ball, but I had a great long snapper. Bret was incredible as far as getting me the most consistent snaps.

I never had to worry about where that snap was going. As far as blocking and cover schemes, my coverage guys got down there and it’s amazing how good they were.”

Brooks was a sixthround draft pick by the Washington Redskins and went on to spend time with Green Bay, Philadelphia and Jacksonville before returning to Georgia. He lives in Peachtree Corners and works as a sales engineer for Bardi Heating, Cooling and Plumbing.

Brooks married Natanya Harper, who was one of the top freestyler on the Georgia Tech swim team.

They have two daughters, Harper, 4, and Maci, 7 months.

The New York Knicks officially signed restricted free agent guard Tim Hardaway Jr. on Saturday after the Atlanta Hawks decided not to match the Knicks’ offer sheet.

The decision allows the 25-year-old Hardaway to return to New York on a four-year, $71 million deal, league sources told ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.

The Hawks had 48 hours to match the offer, but they delivered official notification to the NBA and Knicks before the deadline of 11 p.m. on Saturday.

The Knicks drafted Hardaway with the 24th overall pick in 2013. The shooting guard played his first two seasons with the Knicks before being traded on draft day in 2015 to Atlanta.

During the 2016-17 season, the 6-foot-5, 205-pound Hardaway recorded career-highs in scoring (14.5 points per game), assists (2.3), rebounds (2.8), minutes played (27.3), field-goal percentage (.455), 3-pointers made (149) and attempted (417) and free throws made (164) and attempted (214).

Overall, the four-year NBA veteran has appeared in 281 games (62 starts) and averaged 11.0 points and 23.4 minutes.

“Bringing back Tim to his original NBA home is

an exciting time for him and this franchise,” Knicks general manager Steve Mills said in a statement.

“As a versatile wing whose game continues to improve, he will fit right into the core of players that make up a roster emphasizing youth, athleticism, accountability and unselfishness.”

Hardaway appeared in 151 games for the Knicks over two seasons, averaging 10.8 points and 23.5 minutes, before being traded to the Hawks on draft day in 2015.

His father, five-time NBA All-Star Tim Hardaway, is an assistant coach for the Detroit Pistons.

Harden, Rockets agree on record contract extension James Harden and the Houston Rockets agreed on a four-year contract extension that is the richest in NBA history.

The contract is a supermaximum extension that will guarantee Harden $228 million through the 2022-23 season, league sources told ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski and Brian Windhorst on Saturday.

“Houston is home for me,” Harden said in a statement released by the Rockets. “(Owner Leslie Alexander) has shown he is fully committed to winning and my teammates and I are going to keep putting in the work to get better and compete for the title.”

Kyle Busch rides tactical move to Xfinity Alsco 300 victory By reid Spencer The Sports Xchange

SPARTA, Ky. — As Kyle Busch spun his No. 18 Toyota wildly during his celebratory burnout at Kentucky Speedway, the right rear tire exploded with an audible pop after it hit the drain below the apron.

It was an astute call by crew chief Eric Phillips that enabled Busch’s tires to survive long enough to win Saturday afternoon’s raindelayed Alsco 300 NASCAR Xfinity Series race at the 1.5-mile track.

In effect, Phillips was the architect of Busch’s second victory this season, his fourth at Kentucky and the 88th of his career, extending his own series record.

Busch, the pole winner, was leading on Lap 129 when the engine in Joey Gase’s No. 52 Chevrolet blew up in Turn 3, dumping fluid on the track to necessitate the seventh caution of the afternoon.

That’s when Phillips, thinking several moves

ahead, opted for four tires.

Busch lost six positions to teams that opted for two-tire stops, but by Lap 148 he had passed Joey Logano, who had two runs on his left-side tires, for the third position.

The four-tire call enabled Busch to stay on the track and inherit the lead when Ray Black Jr.’s crash in Turn 2 brought out the eighth and final caution on

Lap 167. Busch remained out front the rest of the way and got some help when Ryan Blaney, whose No. 12 Ford was arguably the fastest car in the race, was penalized for a runaway tire during his final pit stop on Lap 168.

“These guys keep getting better, and we just bide our time a little bit as we did today,” Busch said. “We did what we needed to do to be

Blaney restarted at Kevin Harvick, who the back of the field and stayed on track with Busch charged to second place, for the final restart, held

onto fourth place. Ty Dillon ran fifth, followed by Logano and William Byron.

Justin Allgaier, Daniel Hemric and Tyler Reddick completed the top 10.

There was no shortage of action from the outset of Saturday’s race. As the cars reached the start/finish line for the initial green flag, the field bunched up, and the cars of Brendan Gaughan, Blake Koch, Brandon Jones, Ryan Reed and Michael Annett were damaged in the resulting melee.

Jones fell out immediately, Gaughan was eliminated by a subsequent accident on Lap 7, and Reed dropped out after 55 laps because of overheating. Annett and Koch were able to continue and finished 16th and 23rd, respectively, but those opening moments set the tone for wild restarts that would follow.

Series leader Elliott Sadler ran 12th and maintained a 45-point edge over second-place Byron, who fell short in his attempt to win a third straight race.

Indy tops Gwinnett in pitchers’ duel U.S. draws 1-1

By DaviD FrieDlanDer

david.friedlander@ gwinnettdailypost.com

LAWRENCEVILLE — Home runs were the difference in what was otherwise a pitchers’ duel in the Gwinnett Braves’ game with Indianapolis on Saturday night.

Unfortunately for the home team, the visiting Indians were the ones playing longball by striking early and late for the second straight night.

Eric Wood’s two-run homer in the first inning and Eury Perez’s solo shot in the ninth helped Indianapolis overcome a quality start from G-Braves starter Aaron Blair for a 3-1 victory before 5,004 fans at Coolray Field.

A night after the G-Braves used six different pitchers in a series-opening loss, Blair (6-5) gave a tired bullpen a break with a season-best seven innings of work, scattering eight hits and two earned runs with six strikeouts and no walks.

But for the third straight night, the offense had trouble finding the big hit, scoring just one run despite seven hits, going 0-for-5 with runners in scoring position and stranding nine baserunners. “(Indianapolis) hit the ball out of the ballpark, and their pitchers did a good job against us,” Gwinnett manager Damon Berryhill said. “The last three games, we’ve struggled to come up with that big hit that either ties it or puts us over the top.

We get in a little bit of a rut when we try to do too much when that opportunity comes up instead of keeping that train moving. But you’ve got to give (the Indianapolis

pitching staff) a lot of credit.

They pitched a nice game.”

It didn’t look like Blair would pitch a nice game after he gave up a single to Christopher Bostick and a 423-foot homer to Wood off the batter’s eye in straightaway center to give Indianapolis a 2-0 lead just three batters in.

It might’ve even been worse if not for Xavier Avery gunning down Gift Ngoepe as he tried to leg a single into a double to end the top of the first.

But after giving up backto-back singles to Jacob Stallings and Perez to lead off the top of the second, the 6-foot-4, 250-pound righthander settled down.

He foiled Indians starter Clay Holmes’ attempt at a sacrifice bunt with a strikeout, and then retired Bostick and Danny Ortiz to get out of the inning without giving up another run thanks to a simple strategic adjustment.

“I came out the first inning and I think I gave up four hits to the first five hitters on like nine pitches,” said Blair, who retired 18 of the final 21 hitters he faced,

allowing only two hits over the final five innings after giving up six in the first two.

“They were just swinging. … First and second, no outs (in the second), pitcher’s up. He doesn’t get the bunt down, and it kind of gives me some confidence.

“From there, I just kind of got ahead (in the count) for the most part. I was able to throw offspeed in the strike zone, for the most part. I just kind of attacked the strike zone. They were very aggressive with first-pitch fastballs the first three innings.

Once I got through the order the first time, I started mixing in breaking balls first pitch, change-ups first pitch and kind of got them off balance. That allowed me to use my fastball late in the count when I needed to.”

Unfortunately for Blair, the G-Braves couldn’t do much more with Holmes (7-3) and four relievers.

They got one of the first-inning runs back in the bottom of the inning when Ozzie Albies lined a triple to the gap in right-center, and came home on a wild pitch on the fourth ball of a

walk to Avery, cutting the Indianapolis lead to 2-1.

But a chance to tie the game, and perhaps more, was erased when Carlos Franco was called out on a close play at first base on the back-end of a double play to end the inning.

The G-Braves then stranded five baserunners over the next three innings, and had trouble making anything happen after that.

Former G-Brave Perez, who finished the night a perfect 4-for-4, made his ex-mates’ task even harder when he sent a liner from reliever Enrique Burgos onto the berm in left-center for a solo homer with two outs in the top of the ninth to make the score 3-1. It was the first run Burgos has allowed in 12 outings since joining Gwinnett in late May. The G-Braves had one more chance in the bottom of the ninth when singles by David Freitas and pinch hitter Sean Kazmar Jr. off Dan Runzler brought the potential winning run to the plate with two outs for the surging Albies.

But Dovydas Neverauskas came out of the Indianapolis bullpen and induced the 20-year-old infielder into a bouncer to second that secured his ninth save of the season, and the win for the Indians despite a 2-for-4 night from Dustin Peterson.

The G-Braves will try to salvage a win in the series, and head into the All-Star break on a positive note, when they send left-hander Andrew Albers (7-3) to the mound for today’s 1:05 game.

Right-hander Tyler Eppler (6-3) is the scheduled starter for Indianapolis.

Markakis fuels Braves in rout of Nats

By DaviD Driver

The sports Xchange

WASHINGTON — Nick Markakis had a double and scored in the second inning before lining a solo homer to right in the seventh.

But the at-bat that impressed his manager, Brian Snitker, was the grind-it-out appearance that became a run-scoring single in the ninth as the Atlanta Braves crushed the first-place Washington Nationals 13-0 on Saturday. It was the first time this year the Nationals were shut out.

“He’s a pro. He’s a pro’s pro,” Snitker said of Markakis, who had three hits, scored four runs and made a diving catch in right field.

“He does everything the right way, regardless of the situation. That was a really good at-bat.”

Markakis also drove in two runs and owns a .287 average as the Braves beat All-Star pitcher Stephen Strasburg, who lasted just three innings.

“We know what type of pitcher (he is) and know what he has,” Markakis said of Strasburg. “It is a battle up there every time. We

have to play well together as a team to beat a team like that. We did today; Nick probably Markakis the best defense we have played all year.”

Markakis was also at the plate in the top of the third when he lined the ball off the hip of Strasburg, the All-Star right-hander for the Nationals.

Strasburg (9-3) stayed in the game but was lifted for a pinch-hitter in the last of the third inning after yielding seven hits, six runs (three earned) with two walks and no strikeouts. It was his shortest outing of the year and first time he did not record a punchout.

Washington manager Dusty Baker said Strasburg was taken out mostly since he was hit by the liner.

“Mainly because he was hurting,” Baker said.

“I feel fine. I definitely could’ve kept going, but I just got singled to death,” said Strasburg, who said the hip won’t affect his All-Star

status and said he wanted to stay in the game.

“I know some guys want to lobby for it, but I feel like that’s their decision. And I’m going to keep going until they take the ball out of my hands. And that’s when they decided to take it out of my hands.”

Starter Julio Teheran was 2-for-2 with three RBIs and pitched seven shutout innings, while the Braves banged out 15 hits.

Teheran (7-6) is now 6-0 on the road this year and 1-6 at home after he gave up just four hits with two walks and five strikeouts.

“Everything was working today,” he said. “Guys were making good plays behind me.”

He had plenty of offensive support. Kurt Suzuki (two hits) had an RBI single in the second before Teheran followed with one of his own to give the Braves a 2-0 lead off Strasburg.

Nationals nemesis Freddie Freeman had an RBI double in the third to make it 3-0.

Two batters after Strasburg was hit by a comebacker, Suzuki had an RBI single and later in the inning

Teheran slashed a two-run single to make it 6-0.

Strasburg allowed four runs (one earned) in the third and was lifted for a pinch-hitter in the bottom of the inning.

Atlanta All-Star Ender Inciarte delivered an RBI single in the sixth off Tanner Roark for a 7-0 advantage.

Markakis lined that homer into the Nationals bullpen in right off Roark to make it 8-0 in the seventh.

Inciarte drove in a run with a groundout in the eighth.

Markakis had that impressive RBI single in the ninth and Matt Adams crushed a 0-2 pitch from Sammy Solis for a three-run homer to make it 13-0.

Johan Camargo was 3-for-4 and Matt Kemp also had two hits for the Braves, who are 4-2 in Washington this year.

The Braves also got strong defensive play from second baseman Brandon Phillips.

“You know how he is. He showed it today,” Markakis said. “Couple of big plays right there. We made some good defensive plays. Julio threw one of his best games this year.”

Sebastian Munoz maintains lead The SporTS Xchange Sebastian Munoz of Colombia continues to lead The Greenbrier Classic after a 2-under-par 68 on Saturday left him two shots ahead of Robert Streb in White Sulphur Springs, W.Va. Munoz, who has led the PGA Tour event since firing an opening-round 61 on Thursday, posted a 54-hole score of 14-under 196. The PGA Tour rookie is bidding to become the first wire-to-wire winner in Greenbrier history.

Streb fired a 65 in the third round and moved to 12-under 198. He is one stroke ahead of PGA Tour rookie Xander Schauffele and Jamie Lovemark.

Schauffele and Lovemark both shot 66 to stand 11 under going into the final round on Sunday.

Still within striking distance is 53-year-old Davis Love III, whose 68 left him at 10 under along with Kelly Kraft (67) and Russell Henley (68).

Munoz opened the third round with a birdie at No. 1 but quickly followed with a bogey on the second hole.

Another bogey and birdie on the front nine left him even for the round at the turn before he added two birdies on the back nine.

“I try to play boring golf. I try to hit the fairway

and hit the greens,” Munoz said. “Even though I try, I just seem to put myself into some trouble and then trying to make something happen and then kind of get on a good run, sometimes bad runs.”

Munoz has a tournament-leading 19 birdies through three rounds, one more than Love.

“I think I had a good round today by the way I just hit the ball from the tee again,” he said. “A lot of missed fairways in the first nine. Trying to get — I think I was getting a little too quick, out of rhythm.

And then we kind of managed to settle in with a couple clutch putts, save par, and good chips.”

Streb, seeking his second career PGA Tour win, moved into position to challenge Munoz with a round that featured an eagle-3 on the par-5 No. 12 and also five birdies and two bogeys. He tied for second in the tournament two years ago.

Love III, at 53 years, two months and 26 days, could become the oldest winner on the PGA Tour in his 741st official event if he is able to come from behind in the final round. Sam Snead holds the record at 52 years, 10 months and eight days at the 1965 Wyndham Championship.

All concerned citizens are invited to the public hearings on this tax increase to be held at Buford City Hall, 2300 Buford Hwy, Buford, GA 30518, on July 17, 2017 at 7:00 pm.

Times and places of additional public hearings on this tax increase are at Buford City Hall, 2300 Buford Hwy, Buford, GA 30518 on August 7, 2017 at 10:00 am and 7:00 pm.

This tentative increase will result in a millage rate of 12.800 mills, an increase of .580 mills. Without this tentative tax increase, the millage rate will be no more than 12.220 mills. The proposed tax increase for a home with a fair market value of $200,000 is approximately $46.40 and the proposed tax increase for non-homestead property with a fair market value of $550,000 is approximately $127.60.

Blooming futures

Gwinnett inmates nurture more than garden this summer

BY CAILIN O’BRIEN

cailin.obrien @gwinnettdailypost.com

Kelsey Baudendistel’s life hasn’t always been peaceful.

The Norcross resident said she spent a portion of that life hanging around a crowd who encouraged her “addictive thought patterns.” She began messing with drugs and found herself in and out of several jails. Once, she was even arrested in front of her two children.

“That was the most embarrassing day of my life,” she said, with tears in her eyes.

Baudendistel came into the Gwinnett County Detention Center about a month ago ready for a new life — for her children and for herself.

She said she craved peace and stability, but she didn’t really expect to find it in the confines of Gwinnett County’s jail.

Then, her pod was assigned to work in the Gwinnett County Detention Center inmates’ garden and she got a taste of the stability she craved for her life.

“The whole thing brings tranquility, brings peace,” she said. “It’s my favorite.”

The inmates’ garden is a lush oasis situated outside one of the jail’s dorm buildings. Lush green stems, purple leaves and pink flowers stand out in stark contrast against the surrounding concrete walls and barbedwire fences. Mulched paths lead up and down rows of blooming plants growing in raised beds.

“The mulch is new,” Baudendistel said. “This was grass not that long ago.”

Actually, the whole garden is a relatively new concept for the jail. Sheriff Butch Conway and a handful of other deputies broke ground on the project last year. But for the past several months, the garden has been almost entirely in the hands of a female working pod, a group of about 10 women who are deemed “low-level offenders.” Usually, that means they’re behind bars for non-violent drug offenses and minor probation violations.

Mostly, they’re just ready to move past whatever mistake landed them there.

“The majority of the girls that come here, we’re very positive people that look forward to getting out and doing something with our lives instead of coming back and making this a habit,” Baudendistel said.

Starting last year, groups of those women poured that positivity and determination into creating the inmates’ garden. They built the wooden raised plant beds by hand and spread the soil.

They arranged the rows and set up a small gazebo in the middle of the plot of land.

The community pitched in, too, donating seeds to the cause. Growers Outlet in Loganville donated a majority of the young saplings in the garden.

“By the end of the summer last year, we got everything built,” said Deputy Dennis Pates, an official who helps Deputy James Wilson run the project. “But it was almost too late to get a lot of the crops in. This is so far the first real producing season that we’ve had.”

The season turned out better than anybody expected.

Now, the garden’s raised beds are filled with 660 plants, including pumpkins, cantaloupes, zucchinis, cucumbers, three types of peppers and several kinds of tomatoes.

“From what I’ve seen out here this week, we have heirloom, we have the standard

Leveraging emotions at work Students attend STEM camp When was the last time you felt inspired? What made you feel that way?

If you’re like most humans, inspiration requires an intense level of emotion.

Research tells us if we want people to act, we have to appeal to their emotions.

Neuroscientist Paul Zak researched the physiological impact of emotional stories.

He measured the blood of participants before and after he told them an emotional story vs. a flat narrative.

Both stories were aimed to get the participants to donate money. The “flat” narrative did not increase oxytocin or cortisol, and participants did not report empathy for the story’s characters. Those who were subject to the emotive story were willing to give 56 percent more money to the cause, which the researchers later revealed as med up. Dr. Zak concluded emotionally engaging narratives inspire post-narrative action.

So what can we learn from Dr. Zak’s experiments? If you want people to act, you can’t just make them think, you have to make them feel.

Fear-based leaders know this, that’s why they create cultures of fear. Fear is a feeling that will prompt action. But only short-term action, and only enough action to remove the fear. It’s not sustainable.

As a leader, formal or informal, you want people to be inspired. You want to ignite positive emotions,

Rising seventh- through 10th-graders from Lilburn, Radloff and Osborne middle schools, and Meadowcreek and North Hall high schools have spent part of their summer at a STEM camp at Piedmont College.

The goal is to work collaboratively to determine how to create a sustainable colony on Mars.

The Piedmont College Woodrow Wilson Georgia Teaching Fellowship STEM Camp seeks to foster and enhance education in the fields of science, technology, engineering and math.

“We seek to inspire the next generation of STEM leaders through learning experiences that promote inquiry and critical thinking,” said Bill Nye, the camp’s director and a science department chair at Meadowcreek High.

“Moreover, we seek to provide high quality, rigorous and authentic opportunities which promote outstanding academic achievement for all students.”

The camp aims to increase campers’ understanding of survival and sustainability on Mars within activities related to environmental science, biotechnology and engineering robotics.

“We believe that through collaborative and well-coordinated efforts, students in secondary schools can find solutions to not only the problems of today, but of the future,” Nye said. “Students must be challenged

Duh: Supreme Court says ‘hate speech’ is protected speech Lost in the uproar over President Donald Trump’s tweets last week was the U.S. Supreme Court’s unanimous decision in the matter of Matal v. Tam. In case you missed it, SCOTUS essentially ruled that so-called “hate speech” is not a real thing.

The case involved an Asian-American rock band, The Slants, who had been denied a trademark by the U.S. Patent Office because their name “disparages” Asians. Justice Alito, writing for the Court, said the government’s position “violates the First Amendment”

because the name represents “private speech, not government speech.”

Well, yeah. This is the United States of America, not some socialist dystopia. Or one of those effete European countries where individual rights are basically an afterthought. Or

Canada. In the U.S., as our Constitution specifically states, and as the Supremes just re-affirmed, you can say pretty much whatever you want, even if it’s not very nice.

Unfortunately, the Left has introduced into our civic discourse the Orwellian concept of “hate speech.”

This has had a chilling effect on speech in this country — as it is meant to do — because, like Orwell’s “thought crimes,” it proposes to punish people not for what they do or say but for what they are presumably thinking at the time.

Indeed, the very term “hate speech” is a bastardization of the language.

Proper English would be “hateful speech,” which is actually a real thing, although it, too, is protected by the First Amendment.

As an aside, the reason for all these made-up rules, few of which are grounded in either reason or tradition, is bad parenting. Consider the Obama Education Department’s byzantine regulations governing male-

ten.

Of course, the worst part about all this “hate speech” nonsense is that it’s so utterly ambiguous and completely subjective. What does “hate speech” even mean? Hateful of what? To whom? And who decides?

Rob It’s far too easy these Jenkins days for people to silence others simply by labeling their words “hate speech,” female relationships on even when those words are college campuses. Weren’t not rooted in hate and in those kids taught how to behave at home? Apparently fact are viewed as objectionable only by a tiny, not.

I, however, was, just as I self-absorbed minority.

Our laws do recognize was taught not to say ugly limits on speech, but they things about others. It’s are very few — things like not nice. But it is perfectly slander and incitement to legal, and in a free society violence. Legally, we can’t people must be allowed to say ugly things if they want stop people from merely saying unkind things. to.

City by City is a weekly look at the happenings in the places you call home

AUBURN Community garden visitors asked to not steal food Auburn officials are proud of the city’s community garden, but they recently issued a request on Facebook to people who are not growing items in it: Please don’t take any of the food.

Officials said a variety of foods, including cucumbers, tomatoes, herbs, okra and eggplant are being grown by residents who opted to participate in the garden. They said, however, that they recently had a problem with a stickyfingered visitor taking food that they were not growing without permission.

“We had some visitors on (June 30 or July 1) who helped themselves to the produce much to the disappointment of our staff and individuals who put so much hard work into the garden,” officials wrote on the city’s Facebook page.

“Please remember that these are individual gardens planted by local gardeners.

Please do not harvest any of the vegetables without checking with City Hall staff first!”

Anyone who would like to learn more about the garden is asked to call 770963-4002 and ask for either Alex Mitchem at ext. 202 or Michelle Walker at ext. 204.

Living with an economy of words Sometimes Tink — usually in a gentle way but a bit abrupt at other times — will tell me I’m taking too long to explain something.

This happens never when he has time to enjoy a long story but when he’s in a rush with much to do.

“Can you give me the Yankee version of this story? I don’t have time for the Southern telling.”

I always think my stories are worth an investment of time, and Tink does normally but not always.

I’ll make a face at him.

“Yes, I can, but it will be your loss because it’s actually an interesting story.”

“Oh ma’am! I’m sorry! I didn’t know nobody was in there.” My first thought was, “That didn’t occur to you when the door was locked and the lighted sign said ‘Occupied’? But because I had no voice, I said nothing. I waved away his words, shook my head and then squeezed by him in the aisle. When the plane landed, I thought, “Good. I can get away from him.”

I took my time deplaning then headed to the tram for baggage claim.

There were five cars on the tram and wouldn’t you know that I picked the one with the same drunk on it?

He began his blubbering apology again. The only thing worse than a crying drunk is a sorry drunk.

And I don’t mean that in the Southern way of being “sorry-no-account.” I mean one who is apologizing.

But since I couldn’t speak. It was easily handled. Again, I waved away his apology and, unsmiling, shook my head.

He retreated and acted wounded. Put in his place.

Tink is right. Sometimes no words are better.
