MORROW, GA.
Eduardo Pessoa scored twice and Eren Ozer scored late as the University of North Georgia men’s soccer team earned a 4-4 draw with Tampa Thursday night at Clayton State’s Laker Field.
Tampa got things going in the 12th minute with a goal from Till Neumann, but the Nighthawks answered as Adam Farrell put home the first UNG goal of 2018 on a penalty kick in the 37th
minute. Just four minutes later, though, the Spartans regained the lead on a shot from distance to take a 2-1 lead to halftime.
After most of the second half went by scoreless, UNG evened it up with the first Pessoa goal of the night off a Prince Domafriyie pass. Tampa answered with two goals within 60 seconds of one another to take a 4-2 lead.

The Nighthawks didn’t give up, however, as Pessoa scored his second with 12 minutes left off a rebound before Eren Ozer hit a penalty kick in the 82nd minute to tie the game back up. Tampa took 12 shots in the overtime periods but could not find a fifth goal and the game ended in a draw.

Lumpkin County Board of Education announces called meeting for August 24
Community, News August 23, 2018
LUMPKIN, CO., GA
11 days after they voted on the current millage rate, which will result in a property tax increase, the Lumpkin County Board of Education announced that they will hold a called meeting on August 24. The announcement came after local media and local citizens questioned the integrity behind previous public hearings that involved the millage rate vote.
According to their Facebook page, the purpose of the meeting is to, “hear community feedback regarding millage rates, school system budgets, and school finance.” They also stated that, “all community members are encouraged to attend and to provide feedback or ask questions.If you are unable to attend, but wish to provide feedback, please email our school board members.”
In a separate post on social media, Superintendient, Dr. Robert Brown, released the following statement, “It is ridiculous for anyone to suggest that our school board is not welcoming of public input or attempted to avoid feedback provided at the millage hearings. Our school board members receive phone calls and emails from concerns and supportive citizens on a regular basis. They welcome and seek feedback from a variety of sourced in our community, all in an effort to continue providing a premier education for all students in Lumpkin County.” However, according to a local Dahlonega resident, several attempts at contacting members of the board and the superintendent were all left unanswered.
FYN also called and emailed each board member, as well as the superintendent, but did not receive a response.
The meeting will be held at the Lumpkin County Central Office at 6pm.

Dahlonega resident, Victor Acosta, faces possible deportation to Mexico
Feature News, News August 20, 2018
LUMPKIN CO., GA
Lumpkin County resident, Victor Acosta, 30, was arrested in Dahlonega, GA on August 9, after a warrant had been issued for his arrest due to violating the terms of his probation.
While incarcerated in Lumpkin County, he received an additional hold for Immigration and Customs Enforcement. ICE transported Acosta from the Lumpkin County Sheriff’s Office to the Irwin County Detention Center on Tuesday, August 14. On Friday, August 17, Acosta was transported once again to the Stewart County Detention Center in Lumpkin, GA, where he is currently awaiting an immigration hearing.
Acosta moved to America from Mexico in 2000, and has lived in Lumpkin County for 18 years. Prior to his arrest, he participated in the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program. He had been serving probation for a DUI charge that he received in 2015, and has no other criminal activity on his record. According to Acosta, the results of a mandated drug test showed traces of amphetamine in his system, which goes against the terms set in his probation.
During a phone interview with Fetch Your News, Acosta expressed his confusion over the situation, “anyone who knows me, knows that I don’t take amphetamines.” Acosta explained, “I can’t wrap my brain around how this happened.”
An Atlanta immigration attorney is currently representing Acosta, who is expected to receive a bond hearing before going before a judge for an immigration hearing. Acosta and his attorney are hopeful that members of the community who have known Victor, and can attest to his good moral character, will show support by writing a letter of recommendation, “anyone who can write a letter in support of my being released to go home to Dahlonega, please do so immediately.”

Kemp defeats Cagle for Republican nomination
Election, Election 2018 July 24, 2018
Blue Ridge, Ga. – After a heated runoff race, the results are in and Georgia’s Secretary of State Brian Kemp has beat out opponent Lt. Governor Casey Cagle for the Republican nomination.
What was polled as a tight race between the two candidates ended up being what some would consider a landslide victory for Kemp. Kemp received 69.46 percent of the vote statewide with Cagle pulling in 30.54 percent.
Kemp will now face the Democratic nominee Stacey Abrams for the seat of Georgia Governor.
Abrams and Kemp are not strangers, as they have gone head to head over election issues while Kemp has served as Secretary of State.
“All of these liberal groups that are going to be in play in Georgia supporting her (Abrams), I’ve fought,” Kemp said about his past experiences with Abrams.
Citing that he has already faced George Soros, Eric Holder, Thomas Perez, Common Cause Georgia and New Georgia Project, Kemp is confident that he can beat them again.
Kemp explained where some of these groups came into conflict with the Secretary of State office, “They sued us and several counties saying that we weren’t registering voters, 10 different counts. Then they wanted us to settle. I wouldn’t do it. I made them go to court and we won all 10 cases.”
“I know what’s coming,” Kemp said about his preparation for proceeding in the gubernatorial race. “I know how to fight.”
