Burglary suspect attempts to make coffee while robbing businesses
Staff Reports
SUGAR HILL — The Gwinnett County Police Department is seeking information leading to the identification of a burglary suspect wanted in connection with a string of businesses being broken into in Sugar Hill. The suspect was captured on surveillance camera breaking into at least three businesses along Bailey Road in Sugar Hill on September 16 between the hours of midnight and 3 a.m. The male suspect stole computer equipment, televisions, sports memorabilia, and food over the course of several hours. He was even seen trying to make himself coffee but ultimately he
failed. Instead, he opted to steal a couple of coffee pods.
Police said that they think he may even have attempted to steal a 2006 Ford E-150 van located on the property as well. The owner of the van found an object jammed into the ignition switch of the vehicle and a computer monitor that belonged to another business that operated at the 5000 Bailey Avenue address.
Officers recovered part of the stolen property after it was discovered behind some power boxes located on Bailey Avenue. The owner of one of the businesses took to social media in the afternoon of September 16 to offer a reward for information about the burglary suspect. The North Gwinnett Voice shared his post on Facebook on September 17 and mentioned the burglary again in their article titled “Crime on the rise along one Sugar Hill road.”
If anyone has any information to share in this case, please contact GCPD detectives at 770-513-5300. To remain anonymous, tipsters should contact Crime Stoppers at 404-577-TIPS (8477) or visit www.stopcrimeATL.com. Crime Stoppers tipsters can receive a cash reward for information leading to an arrest and indictment in this case. Case Number: 19-086257 & 19086274

Meet Jack Leland, an eighth-grader at Buford Middle School. Jack is the son of Aaron and Kerri Leland, and sibling to Whitney,Preston, and Maggie Leland, asenior at Buford High School. Jack, who star ted school in the Buford City School Systems five years ago, and the Lelands are active par ticipants in the Buford community.Asa14-year-old, Jack is making his community proud- his recent accomplishments and continued excellence reflect incredibly well on both the school system and the city
Jack spends his time engaging with the Buford community in several ways. Merely par ticipating is not Jack’sway,and he will work hard to be the best. As the president of FBLA, appropriately titled, Future Business Leaders of America, Jack steps up and stands out among his fellow peers. This club focuses on inspiring youth to think deeply,exchange creative ideas on business topics, and educate themselves about the world outside their current surroundings. Jack comments on his position as president, saying, “I enjoy learning about leadership firsthand and gaining skills that will help me in future positions.”
Additionally,Jack enjoys volunteering in different political campaigns. Jack has gone door to door with Congressman Rob Woodall and made calls for the Governor of Georgia, Brian Kemp. When asked about his experiences working firsthand with these state politicians, Jack stated, “I learned alot from both men, including how to focus on impor tant decisions to my reach my future goals.” Between leading FBLA at Buford Middle and volunteering in political affairs, Jack clearly has ahear tfor leadership and ser vice.
In the classroom, Jack displays the same drive and hard-working attitude. Given his interest in politics, it is no surprise that Jack’sfavorite subject is Social Studies, par ticularly U.S. Histor yand American Government. Jack’sinterestinthese subjects is much more than simple curiosity; in fact, Jack plans on turning this interest into his career.“Iwould love to
be apolitician,”says Jack. “Most people call me Mr.President Leland around the school, and it is a well-known fact that my ultimate dream is to become the President of the United States.” Considering his most recent accomplishment, Jack seems well on his way to achieving his goals.
This past week, Jack was selected to ser ve on State Superintendent Richard Woods’ Student Advisor y Council. As one of 60 middle school students and 70 high school students chosen, Jack’sacceptance is impressive. Jack will ser ve as an ambassador from Buford Middle and is responsible for engaging in discussions concerning education at astate level. “I am excited to work with students across the state to discuss how educational standards are ser ving my peers and what we, as students, can do to improve the educational system,” Jack remarks on the position. Buford Superintendent, Dr.Rober tDowns, also comments on the subject with high praise, saying, “Jack possesses the ability to succeed at whatever he pursues. His involvement and commitment to the Buford community,while striving to be the best student, inspires many other students.”
WhenJack isn’t leading clubs, volunteering on political campaigns, or diligently working on schoolwork, he is still keeping up with politics on both state and national level. Jack enjoys monitoring electionsacross the countr yand seeing how the process varies from state to state. Outside of politics, Jack loves watching college football and cheering on the Clemson Tigers.
Jack is known around his school and community as a successful and driven young man. He sets goals for himself and strives to achieve them, atrait that is rare in most students his age. Jack Leland is ever ything aBuford Wolf should be -intelligent, accomplished, and aleader.Inthe future, we may be voting him into office and we can proudly claim him as one of our own.
One local Girl Scouts troop has teamed up with Buford’s Cat Rangers rescue
Alicia Couch Payne
Girl Scouts Troop #3365 which has ten sixth grade girls that come from Buford Middle School, Lanier Middle School, and North Gwinnett Middle School had to complete a service project for their Bronze Award Project. The girls decided to do a supply drive benefiting Cat Rangers Rescue in Buford which rescues cats and houses approximately 55 to 75 cats and kittens at their cat sanctuary called La Maison du Chat. They wanted to make a difference in the lives of these animals by raising awareness about the cat shelter in hopes of getting a few of the cats adopted, as well as, getting people to donate money or supplies to the rescue.
The troop began planning this service project in July. They were able to tour the rescue on July 2. Each girl was given a task to complete whether it was passing out flyers, constructing collection boxes,
Keeping your children safe in this age of social media
Alicia Couch Payne
With one story after another making headlines on the news about “Man arrested for obscene internet contact with a minor” and more, it’s no surprise that internet safety for your children is a top concern. My twin boys are 14 and freshmen at Buford High School. They both have smartphones, laptops, and game consoles which means plenty of access to the internet and contact with other people, people who may not always have their best interests at heart. This scares me and worries me to no end.
or calling people to solicit donations both monetary and supplies. They were also responsible for completing 20 hours of service on their own in order to win this award. Six of the girls were able to get the full 20 hours.
Money that they collected during the month of August and part of September was combined with money that they took from their cookie sales fund and supplies were purchased. The girls donated items like paper towels, cat litter, laundry detergent, bleach, hand soap, cat food, and more. The total cash value of the items that this troop donated to Cat Rangers was $613.65.
The Buford City School System knows of the dangers of the internet and parents’ concern for their children’s safety. BCSS has created parent involvement/informational nights and the first one of this school year was on Monday, September 30 at Buford High School. They brought in an internet safety expert, Katie Greer to speak on this touchy subject.
Mrs. Greer held four sessions during the school day for students in 6th through 12th grade where she discussed internet safety from a student’s perspective. That evening, she held a session solely for any BCSS parent that wished to attend. No children were allowed during this time so that us parents could really get the full rundown of what to watch out for with our children.
With 90% of our 7th and 8th graders having one or more social media accounts and 80% of our 6th graders also having one or more social media accounts, this subject was overdue for discussion in the community.
A Boston native, Mrs. Greer has devoted herself to educating the public on the dangers
On September 22, 2019, Troop #3365 proudly delivered the truckload of supplies to the rescue group. The girls were able to play with the cats and kittens that call the no-cage facility home until they are adopted. A young kitten even got a
of the internet. She travels around the country speaking to students and parents, teaches professional development classes, as well as, corporate training sessions. Mrs. Greer stumbled into this career when she worked for both the state police and the Attorney General in Boston where she began working with the internet crimes division. “We are lacking in ways to be proactive in preventing crime,” says Mrs. Greer. That was the catalyst that spurred her on to take her knowledge nationwide. I learned an incredible amount of useful information from listening to Mrs. Greer. She went in-depth on the ways that predators can use the internet to harm our children, the methods our children might use to hide their internet activity from us, and what apps/websites to watch out for. Since 75% of colleges and universities Google college applicants, Mrs. Greer stressed to parents to talk to our kids about being responsible online and not posting questionable content that could have a negative impact on their lives. She told us
name thanks to the girls. They dubbed their kitty “Scout.”
The group reflects that it feels good to care for others and it’s something that they will look forward to doing again in the future.
ways in which we can be proactive in protecting our children as well.
When Mrs. Greer was finished speaking, I felt so much more equipped to know what to watch for with my boys and the internet. It was truly informative and completely worth my time to be there.
Katie Greer can be followed on Facebook at K L Greer Consulting and on Twitter/Instagram at @KatieLGreer. Her website, www.klgreer. com is also a very good source of information. A big thank you to the Buford City School System for bringing Mrs. Greer in to speak with students and teachers. The school system said that they will have another parent informational session in 2020. I would urge parents to attend these because their content is relevant to what we face with our children. These sessions are free for parents to participate.
Our BCSS intern, Regan Saunders shares her perspective on internet safety and the information Mrs. Greer told Buford students on our website at www.NorthGwinnettVoice.com.

Not all superheroes wear capes
Regan Saunders
This past Friday, October 4, the Buford community, alongside millions of other Americans, celebrated Cape Day. Cape Day is dedicated to honoring and supporting the true superheroes of the world who battle illnesses and injuries at Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta. This nationally recognized tradition brings the fight to the community and encourages members to step up and fight back against cancer through donations and fundraisers.
Carrying on the tradition with pride, the city of Buford celebrates Cape Day in every school. From Buford Elementary to Buford High, students of all ages arrived at school adorned with capes of every color. Buford High School students even set up a competition to see which grade could raise the most money for CHOA and our heroes. The winning grade would be rewarded with a “jeans day”, but most students felt led to
BHS Theatre performs first production on new Performing Arts stage with “See How They Run”
Regan Saunders
On Sunday, October 6, the Performing Arts Center opened its stage to the first theatre production of the year, “See How They Run.” The show displayed the talents of a small but exceptional cast, performing their hearts out from the moment they took the stage to their final bow. “See How They Run” was an excellent
donate regardless of the cause.
Throughout the entire Buford Community, Cape Day is a personal and important tradition to uphold. Fueled by the legacy of Buford’s own Anna Charles Hollis, the fight against cancer is a passionate and intentional one. AC, a young and spunky 6-year old who battled AML, has inspired her community and millions of Americans through her story and the legacy that follows her. By simply donating to CHOA and wearing a fun cape, millions of children battling cancer can benefit.
Buford City Schools Director of Communications, Kerri Leland, reflects on Cape Day, saying, “We are thrilled to give back to CHOA just a little of what has been given to our families. Though Cape Day was great fun, we kept the focus on the patients at Children’s who are battling each
presentation of the tradition of excellence the Buford Arts Department continues to uphold.
“See How They Run”, an English comedy by Phillip King, mixes humor and satire in a 75-minute production. Following the perspective of several characters, the concept of misdirection is a common theme as the plot unfolds; the show is intended to keep the actors guessing while the audience is aware, relying on dramatic irony to drive the story home. Charming, elaborate, and hilarious, this play and its execution by the Buford cast was outstanding.
Buford High School senior, Quinn Conrath, shared his personal feelings towards the experience as a whole, saying, “This show is very special to me because it is the first show of my senior year and the first full theater production on the new stage. It feels like just a couple months ago I was starting my first show as a freshman, and now I am majoring in theater in college.” Quinn’s comments prove that in addition to putting on incredible productions, the Buford theatre department is truly a place for personal growth and success. Overall, “See How They Run” is a must-see that stimulates the mind, provides immense comic relief, and accurately displays the talents of an upcoming generation of actors.
day. As we focus on educating the whole child, we know that giving our students philanthropic opportunities provides them with the chance to become active members of our community, which has a positive
impact on society and an increased sense of social responsibility.” Not all heroes wear capes, but the Buford Wolves wear them to recognize the true superheroes battling cancer.

Lanier celebrates Homecoming in a big way
Alicia Couch Payne
SUGAR HILL — Lanier High School is still a relatively young school compared to its neighbors and has struggled at times to emerge from their shadows. The students and staff at Lanier have done a great job over the years of helping to build their identity and create their traditions. This year Lanier took a huge step in establishing their place in the Sugar Hill community with the creation of their newest tradition, their annual Homecoming parade.
The inaugural Lanier High School Homecoming parade was held on Thursday,
September 26 at 6:30 p.m. in downtown Sugar Hill. The parade traveled down West Broad Street past the new E Center and Sugar Hill City Hall ending at Hillcrest Drive.
The parade kicked off with a Gwinnett County Fire engine leading the way followed by the Mayor of Sugar Hill, Steve Edwards. The Longhorns Marching Band kicked off the start of the high school parade participants. The parade participants ranged from athletic teams like softball, baseball, cross country, football, and cheerleading to clubs like the Art Club, Key Club, FCA, Mock Trial, and Hope Club.
The parade was a big hit with the hundreds of spectators, especially the children that scrambled to pick up the candy tossed to them by those participating in the inaugural event. The spectators and participants alike enjoyed the food and entertainment at the Bowl arranged by the City of Sugar Hill afterward.
Young and old had a great time celebrating being a Longhorn and hopes that it will become an annual tradition.

Buford cruises past Johnson in their region opener
Alicia Couch Payne
GAINESVILLE — After coming off of such a big win last week in overtime against AAAAAAA Archer, the Buford Wolves varsity football team had added confidence and energy. That did not bode well for Region 8-AAAAA opponent, Johnson High School - Gainesville. Buford would completely dominate their host Johnson from start to finish in this 56 to 7 win.
Johnson (3-3) would score their only touchdown of the night on a 100-yard kickoff return in the second quarter by Xzavior Ramsey.
In the first quarter, Buford (6-0) would get their first touchdown of the night when Xalan Taylor ran in for a one-yard touchdown. With 5:26 left in the first, Gabe
Ervin would rush for 22 yards for a score. Kicker Hayden Olsen would earn both extra points putting Buford up 14-0.
Buford would rack up 22 points in the second quarter to bring their total to 36-7 by the end of that quarter. Junior quarterback for the Wolves, Jarvis Evans would find Justice Johnson open for a 43-yard touchdown pass. The extra point was blocked.
Buford would get a safety at the quarter’s 2:58 mark. Sophomore Victor Venn would also score on a 37-yard run. Senior running back Elijah Turner would get the last touchdown of the quarter on a 13-yard run. Olsen had two successful PATs.
Turner opened the third quarter with a 49-yard run into the end zone. The extra point was blocked. With 4:28 left in the third quarter, Venn would score another touchdown on a 25-yard run. Javen Sadler would get the last points of the night when he reached the end zone on a 22-yard run. Both PATs were good.
Evans would finish the night with 8-for8 passing, 214 yards, and the touchdown pass.
Buford will host Cedar Shoals on Friday, October 11 at Tom Riden Stadium at 7:30 p.m.
