Cities face deadlines for sales tax ballot question By PATRICK FOX pat@appenmediagroup.com NORTH FULTON, Ga. — Fulton County cities are scrambling to compile a list of transportation projects voters may decide this November whether to fund with a .75-cent added sales tax. In a meeting between Fulton County mayors earlier this month, the cities decided to have local public works departments draw up lists for city council approval. Johns Creek city leaders reviewed their list this week, and other city councils plan to hear presentations within the next three weeks. At stake is from $500-$600 million in transportation dollars the county’s 14 cities – excluding Atlanta – expect will be generated to pay for road projects over the five-year term of the sales tax. Special legislation allowed Atlanta to consider its own transportation sales tax, which would likely include some allocation for MARTA. City leaders say the process is com-

plicated because, in order to win widespread support among voters, projects must satisfy local and regional needs. Alpharetta Mayor David Belle Isle said one project he’s considering isn’t even within his city’s borders. Widening southbound Ga. 400 in Roswell, for example, would relieve a major bottleneck affecting Alpharetta motorists every day, he said. Alpharetta is scheduled to hear from its public works staff on possible projects at its April 18 meeting. Johns Creek Mayor Mike Bodker said his city has been drawing up a list in anticipation of the TSPLOST since last year. Although the process is moving quickly now, he said residents will be given plenty of opportunities to weigh in. “Nothing will happen without their approval,” Bodker said. Sandy Springs says it is working on its proposed project list and expects to have it ready for public airing in May. In Roswell, the proposed list will

TSPLOST timeline May 30 – Fulton County cities, with the exception of Atlanta, must submit project lists to Fulton County, which is coordinating the effort. June 15 – Fulton County prepares and sends back to the cities an aggregate list of county transportation projects to be funded by the .75-cent sales tax during its five-year run. June 30 – Cities return to Fulton County a final list of projects approved by each of the city councils. The county then submits the project list to the election superintendent for placement on the Nov. 8 ballot. See TSPLOST, Page 29

Elementary school teachers share #whyiteach MILTON, Ga. — Milton’s Cogburn Elementary constructed a weeklong teacher appreciation project during the last week of March. As part of the initiative, teachers spoke out about why they teach. Each teacher wrote down their explanation in a thought bubble and took a picture with it. “During our Teacher Appreciation Week and with the help of our Parent Teacher Organization, we wanted to celebrate our teachers by stating that our teachers’ voices matter,” said Principal Lisa Garosi. “Teachers were given a speech bubble where they had to reflect and write ‘why I teach.’ Our teachers overwhelmingly participated… The

quotes written were inspirational to say the least. Born from the belief that no one knows teaching like teachers, Teacher2Teacher is a growing community where you can connect to share resources, learn from one another, and solve the big problems that no one can alone. “We wanted to show our community why we love Cogburn Woods Elementary and #whyiteach became our theme for our Teacher Appreciation Week this year. This collection of #whyiteach bubbles demonstrates teacher talent and creativity, and our teachers’ continued dedication to their students and community.” For more pictures Cogburn Elementary teachers explain why they teach in a weeklong and quotes, check out #whyiteach on Twitter. teacher appreciation project and posted their answer on the wall.

OPINION

Road to TSPLOST success worth the journey Talk about a long road. For more than a year, the 14 mayors of Fulton County met monthly and tried to figure out the best way to solve our transportation headaches. To say JOHN EAVES the discussions Fulton County Chairman were lively is an understatement. But here we are today – from Chattahoochee Hills to Atlanta to Milton – driving forward together to convince voters to approve a Transpor-

tation Special Local Option Sales Tax in November. We’re asking for three-quarters of a penny. If you stop and think, it’s a small investment that will generate a huge payoff. It’s estimated the tax will bring in some $600 million dollars for much-needed transportation improvements over the next five years. Be assured that Fulton County is shaping its blueprint for the future. For the next five years, our top priority is to tackle roads, bridges and infrastructure that are in desperate need of repair. That’s what we need to do right now. What’s important to note is that every municipality chooses its own

projects. South Fulton needs more bus lanes? Alpharetta wants to improve an intersection? Union City plans to fix pot holes? Leaders in each jurisdiction can simply add it to their project wish list, ensuring the improvements will directly benefit people where they live, work and play every day. And while the county’s immediate focus is on infrastructure, we are still embracing MARTA and the role transit can play in the years ahead. Next year, a quarter of a penny will likely go to MARTA [from Atlanta] and, after five years, it would go up to a half

a cent. This gives everyone a chance to study the impact of transit from heavy rail to managed bus lanes. We can move forward in the short term with an eye to the future. Collaboration will put us all in the driver’s seat and spur necessary growth and development to take metro Atlanta to the next level. The next few months are crucial. We need to reach out to voters – to educate, inform and answer their questions – so they’ll know the money they’re being asked to invest will be well spent. Our journey down the long road is far from over.

Iconic old Milton cabin needs preservation Most Alpharetta residents today have no idea what the old Milton High School cabin is, no idea where it is or any idea why it should be preserved. And all of these are good reasons to HATCHER HURD do just that – preExecutive Editor hatcher@appenmediagroup.com serve the old cabin. We should know this cabin, its story and its place in the history of this place. For this old cabin, built by Future Farmers of America members at Milton High School from 1933 to 1936, is a direct link to life as it once was in old Milton County – even though Milton County was gone by the time the cabin was finished. North Fulton in 1936 was a far cry from the fancy shopping malls and plush homes in well-manicured subdivisions that were once farmland. Where tall office buildings that hum with computers now stand there were once old-growth forests. In 2010, I had the opportunity to meet with some of the surviving students who build that old cabin. Two local historians, Connie Mashburn and Norm Broadwell, set it up for me. They introduced me to George Jones, John M. Dorris Sr. and Edwin Chester, who were FFA members at the old Milton High School. Each of them put in their hours after school or on weekends to build the cabin. The Alpharetta they knew then was a different world. Milton High School was 9 years old and students from Roswell also attended. Roswell had been a part of Cobb County but that changed when old Milton County sank beneath the sands of time.

HATCHER HURD/HERALD

The old Milton High School cabin is a link to all of North Fulton’s history. Few could find it now, but at one time there was no one who could not. In 1932, Milton County was out of cash. The Great Depression left folks with mostly subsistence farming. Fulton County was prevailed upon to annex Milton in the north and old Campbell County in the south to get services to them. Roswell, being in Cobb, was annexed out of Cobb to give old Milton contiguity to Fulton. Most of the 6,730 residents (according to the 1930 census) made their living from farming. FFA was an organization that did a lot to teach young boys what they would be doing the rest of their lives. But getting back to Jones, Dorris and Chester, they told me the Milton cabin got its start from MHS agriculture teacher Bill Elkins, who also was the faculty adviser for the FFA club. “Mr. Elkins won a $75 forestry award,” said Jones. “So he used that money to get the cabin started. He wanted us boys to get some hands-on experience and then have a place to meet.” Word soon spread that these boys

were building a cabin, and before it started some of the local men dropped off wood they had cut. Others supplied some technical skill. Carl Cobb, they recalled, did the masonry for the fireplace. But most of the work was done by these teenagers. For Chester, it became a profession. He was a carpenter and builder. People can still point out some of the older homes around that he worked on. The boys spent time during Ag class working on the cabin, and they would put in hours after school and on Saturdays. Some spent part of the summer working on it. But this was at the height of the Great Depression and times were hardest in rural communities where there just was no hard cash. Dorris told me about working in one of Franklin Roosevelt’s programs in the National Recovery Act called the National Youth Administration. “We would get paid 10 cents an hour to clean up the schoolyard,” Dorris said. “Yeah, it was hard to come by any cash when you were a youngster in those days. And I don’t remember working any summers. My daddy wouldn’t have liked me off the farm then.” The town had fundraisers for the cabin. One year, they invited all the politicians up to speak – and here’s a twist – asked the politicians to make donations to the cabin for the honor of speaking. Box dinners that mothers prepared were raffled off. It was a real coup for the whole city when they enticed the famous black church choir from Big Bethel AME Church in Atlanta to come perform “Heaven Bound,” an already famous gospel-backed morality play first performed in 1930. The Milton cabin was finished in

1936, and it quickly became something more than a place for the FFA to meet after school or at night. It is hard to imagine, but that log cabin was one of the biggest public buildings in Alpharetta, outside of the courthouse and local churches. It quickly became a place where people could meet and socialize. There would be bands playing in it on weekends. “In 1937, that is where we had our junior-senior dance,” Dorris recalled. “One year all the girls made their dresses from chicken-seed sacks. And all the boys had their shirts made from chicken-seed sacks.” Today, the cabin is a mostly neglected part of the history not just of Alpharetta, but all of North Fulton. Now a great new plan is afoot to make old Milton High School into a transformational high school for the 21st century. This old cabin, which has one foot in the 20th century and the other foot in the 19th, now has both feet in the grave. It would be a shame to just shove it over. That cabin is a symbol of the grit folks displayed when times were truly hard here. It was built by that Greatest Generation who never complained. They just endured. But with this one little cabin, we have a link, a touchstone if you will, to our past. There are few physical reminders of the character and determination of the folks who lived here, and who ultimately paved the way for so many newcomers. We should respect those few reminders we have of what was important to the people who were born here, raised their families here and died here. We who have also come here to raise our families must remember this is our history, too.

Hooch leading boys Region 6-6A standings at break West turnaround from last year has them at top of girls standings By JOE PARKER news@appenmediagroup.com NORTH FULTON, Ga. – As spring break is upon us, local soccer teams will have the opportunity to rest and refocus as the final push for region championships and playoff berths resume next week. Chattahoochee looks primed to repeat as region champs in boys play while West Forsyth leads the girls standings with multiple teams still in the hunt for the region championship. After winning the Region 6-AAAAAA championship last year, the Chattahoochee boys (12-0, 8-0) have compiled an impressive start to the season. The Cougars are averaging four goals per game while their defense and goalkeeper, Jack Corrigan, have given up just five goals in 12 games. To open the season, the Cougars beat talented non-region opponents in Heritage and Blessed Trinity. Hooch also defeated Milton, who knocked the Cou-

gars out of the state playoffs in the first round last season, on penalty kicks. In region play, Hooch has compiled big wins over some of the top teams in the region, including Lambert 3-1, Johns Creek 8-1, Alpharetta 4-1, and most recently, West Forsyth 4-1 on March 29. Chattahoochee has just a single region game remaining against the only opponent who has a chance to vie against the Cougars for the region championship. Hooch will play Habersham Central on April 15 and will clinch the region championship with a win. If the Cougars lose, Habersham Central would win the region championship if they are able to win out against region opponents. Chattahoochee won 21 in last year’s matchup between the two schools. Behind Chattahoochee there is a battle for the other three state playoff berths. Habersham Central, Lambert, Alpharetta and Johns Creek are all in the hunt. For the girls of Region 6-AAAAAA, last year’s region champions and state runner-up Lambert currently sits fourth in the standings after losing multiple starters to graduation last year. Lambert’s two losses in region play

have come against South Forsyth and Johns Creek, who stand ahead of the Longhorns in the region standings. Lambert still has a chance to repeat as region champions, but they will need to win out and hope that Johns Creek, West and South Forsyth all lose multiple region games. Lambert will have the chance to hand West, who currently leads the region standings, a loss when they two teams play on April 15. Lambert will end the regular season on April 19 against Grayson, who downed the Longhorns 50 in last year’s state championship game. West Forsyth, after having gone just 4-5 in region play last year, is off to a 7-0 start in region play and is outscoring region opponents 16-3. West’s most recent victory came against Chattahoochee, who they defeated 5-0 on March 29. In the win, junior and Arkansas commit Carson Parker scored a hat trick with Brooke Pirkle and Meagan McInerney also scoring a goal each. AJ Needham and Alexis Biondi gained their fourth straight clean sheet in the win. West will take on Centennial April 13 before closing out their region schedule against Lambert. Johns Creek

Cambridge baseball sweeps North Springs Extends win streak to 12 games By JOE PARKER news@appenmediagroup.com MILTON, Ga. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Cambridge Bears baseball team (14-3, 12-3) swept North Springs in three games last week, extending their winning streak to 12 games. The Bears currently sit two games behind the Forsyth Central Bulldogs, who swept the Bears in the first week of March, in the Region 7-AAAAA Division B standings. After an 8-0 shutout last Monday, a defensive battle occurred in the second game with Cambridge taking the 1-0 victory. Jonathan Mullis pitched a complete game for the Bears, giving up just three hits and striking out 10. Junior Connor Young had the lone RBI for the Bears. In the final game of the series last Friday, Brett Hawkins made his second appearance of the season on the mound, getting the start for the Bears. Hawkins pitched from innings one through four before taking back over in the seventh. In five innings, Hawkins allowed three hits, one run and struck

out four batters. He threw eight firstpitch strikes. Hawkins also batted 2-3 with a triple. Jonathan Hirschland pitched two complete innings, the fifth and sixth, striking out two batters and giving up a lone hit. After a scoreless first inning, two mistakes in the top of the second would allow North Springs to open the scoring. An error by Hirschland would give North Springs a runner on first with two outs. Young, Cambridgeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first baseman, then dropped a foul ball that would eventually cost the Bears a run as North Springs followed up with a single and double to take a 1-0 lead. Cambridge responded in the bottom of the second, scoring two runs off of a Derek Dasher double. Dasher was 2-3 with three RBIs. Three extra-base hits in the bottom of the fourth from Hawkins, Young and Pete Gottschalk gave the Bears a 6-1 lead. The Bears added two runs in the fifth inning and one in the sixth inning, while Hawkins and Hirschland kept the North Springs bats at bay, to take the 9-1 win and sweep the series. It was the first win of the season for

FORD HAS A BETTER IDEA:

Mount Pisgah grad delays college to launch company Connor Ford develops app he plans to market to schools By HATCHER HURD Hatcher@appenmediagroup.com ALPHARETTA, Ga. – Eighteen-year-old Connor Ford, a 2015 graduate of Mount Pisgah Christian School, has decided to put off heading to college. You see and moms you’re going to love this - he wants to successfully launch a business first. It’s not that he’s impatient to get into the business world, but when you have a marketable idea in the Innovation Age, it is wise to move quickly before someone else gets in ahead of you. Nevertheless, he plans to attend Georgia Tech in the fall. Taking advantage of the Alpharetta Technology Commission’s 8,500-square-foot Innovation Center, Ford had the room and the guidance to design an app and get his company off the ground. He now has five employees, including himself. Geri Chapple, ATC’s community manager, said Ford is a perfect example of how the Innovation Center works. “Connor brings a great young vibe to the center,” Chapple said. “He has a lot of knowledge about the technology and tells you about the latest and greatest things folks are doing with it. We give him the space to find, connect and make things happen.” She calls Ford an asset for the center because he keeps everyone he works with on their toes. The app he designed, called the

HATCHER HURD/HERALD

Connor Ford, barely a year out of high school, is ready to market an innovative app to schools that helps track in real time just how deeply students are involved in school activities. Schools can then mine that data to find what is working and, therefore, make planning more effective. Spirit App, allows school officials to spark students’ interest in school events by using the social media in which students are already conversant — Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat, Instagram and Tumblr.

The app also acts as an interactive calendar, so school personnel can distribute event times and locations. And if there is a change in plans — say the event is cancelled — just one click T:\ADS_2015\NFAYP notifies everyone in a timely fashion.

“Schools know studies have shown that if students are involved in activities outside the school, they do better inside the classroom, too,” Ford said. “So it is important for schools to know and to measure how much the students are involved in activities.” Ford’s Spirit App tells schools who and how many attended events – pep rallies, games, car washes, field days – through the GPS system in students’ phones. By appealing to teens’ naturally competitive spirit, students can amass points that schools can then reward while promoting spirit. In the process, schools can check the pulse of student involvement on a regular basis using reams of hard data the app collects. That information, including all kinds of demographics, could be useful to schools —how many freshmen attended the pep rally and how many stayed for the game, for instance. This information is gold for schools, for it not only boosts student participation, it also gives them valuable feedback on what is working and what is not. The app also personalizes each message, which increases the likelihood of a response. However, messages only go out to students who signed up for the app. That avoids inbox overload, which could discourage students from using it. The app does not provide information on how long students are at activities, nor does Ford want it to. As he said, “We don’t want to be Big Brother keeping tabs on where the student goes. And it would drain phone batteries to even try.”

Hilton Head planned it right Last week was spring break week and, for this Smith family, that means a week on Hilton Head Island. I know, I know, tough life. For me anyway, vacations are GEOFF SMITH a necessary time Assurance Financial, gsmith@lendtheway.com to stick my head above water and take a good look around. On Hilton Head Island, it was a fantastic view. Hilton Head has been the vacation spot for our family since I was about 8 years old. It’s a beautiful island covered in live oaks, palm trees and pines. There’s hundreds of miles of shaded bike trails — I got in the car once the entire week. The island is a good lesson in smartly planned development, and was one of the first of its kind in the U.S. The idea for what is today Sea Pines Plantation, the first planned community on the island, was conceived by Charles Fraser in 1956. His idea was to develop a low-density development with controlled commercial components on timberland that was owned in part by his father. The 26-year-old loved the natural beauty that existed on the island and wanted others to enjoy it as much as he did. So his plans left as much of the existing trees and landscape in tact as was possible. And development guidelines ensured that the houses and commercial buildings blended into the natural environment as much as was possible. It was a huge success and, over the years, communities along the Gulf and throughout the country have copied what Fraser did. So much so that Hilton Head over the last 10 years has had to step up its game. Commercial nodes throughout the island have much more to offer in the way of entertainment for both children and

adults. One of our favorite things to do there is to go to the great oak tree in Harbor Town and let the boys listen to Gregg Russell play his set. It’s a 90-minute show where he plays the catchiest beach tunes ever recorded, lets some lucky children sing weird songs, spends 30 minutes carefully teaching the children how to annoy their parents, and then ends with his trademark song, “Booger In The Sugar (No It’s Not).” This is his 40th year doing this routine and, as I watched him last week, he had the same passion I remember him having when I watched him as a child. My two boys enjoyed it every bit as much as I did when I was young. On the ride home they tried every trick to annoy me that Russell had taught them, as I had done decades earlier. And I played along and acted annoyed and assured them I would get Gregg Russell if it was the last thing I did, echoing my own father from long-ago days. My wife, Brenda, and I love new things and exploring. But good, longstanding traditions are awesome. Back here in Atlanta, there are a lot of great traditions and developments. There were many great people who did small things that led to the traditions and successes that exist in all our communities. In my neck of the woods, back in the 1970s, two great men — Bill Johnson and, later, Joe Glover — worked tirelessly to turn the Roswell Recreation and Parks Depart-

ment into one of the most admired in the country. Some people believe it was Roswell’s recreation and parks system that first turned people’s attention to North Fulton. And that led to Ga. 400, Country Club of the South, fiber optic cables and the success that is the golden corridor. Whatever happened, I grew up in that parks system and enjoyed every minute of it. Today I get to coach my two boys on the same fields I played on when I was a child. I guess North Fulton was planned pretty well, too.

Local woman runs successful cosplay business By KATHLEEN STURGEON kathleen@appenmediagroup.com ALPHARETTA, Ga. — Cosplay, a contraction of the words “costume play,” can be seen in full glory at events like Dragon Con and movie premiers, where attendees often dress up like characters in movies, books or video games. While cosplay is usually considered a pastime or hobby, 29-year-old Angela Santoro of Alpharetta is making a living out of it. Santoro, who works as a preschool music teacher, tutor and bookseller in her spare time, demonstrated just how entertaining — and involved — the field of cosplay can be during the 2016 Greater North Fulton Chamber of Commerce Business Expo. “This year the business expo decided to have a theme, ‘The Force Is With Us,’ for the very first time, and asked members if they knew anyone with ‘Star Wars’ costumes that could either loan them out or would be available to wear them,” Santoro said. “My mother, Pam, relayed the message to me roughly two weeks before the expo, knowing that I and many of my friends cosplay multiple times a year for big events like Dragon Con, MomoCon, and (Anime Weekend Atlanta). In a fit of insanity, I volunteered myself and my good friend Stephanie Elder, of Elder Panda Cosplay, to make costumes for the event.” The pair decided on three costumes, which they were able to successfully finish and “were a hit at the expo.” Typically when they make costumes, Santoro and Elder exhibit them at conventions among other cosplayers, as Santoro explained on her blog, thescribblerexperiment.com. Needless to say, their audience at the expo was a bit different than what they usually experience at, say, Dragon Con. “This wasn’t my first GNFCC Business Expo, but I think it was my favorite of all the years so far,” Santoro wrote on her blog. “I really enjoyed getting to talk to so many wonderful people about the costumes we worked so hard to finish. I even enjoyed promoting my own website. I’m really proud of what we managed to accomplish and it’s always a great feeling to get to show off my hard work.” But it’s not easy making a living off her designs.

From left, Diana Johnson as Princess Leia (only costume not made by Angela Santoro or Stephanie Elder), Libby Grubb as Rey, Pam Santoro as Mon Mothma, and Hans Meier as Obi-Wan Kenobi. Eighteen months ago, Santoro set aside her love of cosplay creations to focus on graduate school as well as other time-consuming events, including a car wreck. “Fast forward, a year and a half and here I am determined to build up the thing I never should have abandoned in the first place,” Santoro said. “I see other people working hard and doing the things I want to be doing, and I ask myself ‘Why can’t I do that?’ I’ve come to this horrible realization that you can say you’re going to do something a million times, but that doesn’t actually mean you’re going to do it.” She found inspiration from, among other sources,

her own self-proclaimed stubbornness. “I am sitting here today with a blog that’s getting slightly better every week,” Santoro said, “a 50,000word manuscript in process, my artwork for sale online and through a store, and at least a few people more interested in what I have to say every week.” And because of her passion, and despite minor setbacks like sewing her finger, she keeps on going. “Cosplay gives me an artistic outlet,” Santoro said, “but it also makes me stretch my critical thinking skills and, as with the sewing my finger incident, it actually makes me a braver human being.”

GET OUTSIDE GEORGIA:

Springtime Hiking at Johnson Ferry North As we’ve seen in earlier editions of this column, the Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area offers some remarkable opportunities for enjoying the out-of-doors right STEVE HUDSON here close to home. Get Outside Georgia, Chattahoochee Media Group CRNRA consists of a number of different “units,” and most of them offer great hiking. One CRNRA hike that’s especially appealing during the spring is the loop trail at the Johnson Ferry North Unit, accessible directly off Johnson Ferry Road where the road crosses the river. This long and narrow loop, with total length of not quite 2 miles, lets you explore not only to the banks of the Chattahoochee but also a natural wetlands area which lies between a rocky ridge and the river. You’ll also find a boat ramp, picnic area and other facilities. Considering the diversity of habitats which it passes by or through, it’s no surprise that this trail can provide some great opportunities to see wildlife. In fact, many consider it to be an exceptional birding area, and birdwatchers will definitely want to bring binoculars as they hike the trail. Being almost completely level, the trail offers easy adventure for hikers of all levels. The Johnson Ferry North trailhead is located immediately west of the river and north of Johnson Ferry Road. It’s easily accessible from Ga. 400 or I-285. There’s usually plenty of parking. Remember to pay the dayuse parking fee before setting out on your adventure. From the parking area, begin your hike by following a gravel road for about 2/10 of a mile to Nannyberry Creek. You’ll be heading roughly northeast. There are actually two parallel approaches here: they’re separated by a zone of trees and other vegetation, but both take you to the same place – a crossing over Nannyberry Creek and, just beyond it, the beginning of the main loop trail. Once across the creek, you’ll come to the main loop. You can hike this loop in either direction, but for now let’s turn right (toward the river) and

hike counterclockwise. After making the right turn, it’s only a short hike to the river. There, the trail swings left (upriver) and closely follows the bank for the next half mile or so. Along the way you’ll make short doglegs to cross two creeks – Arrowhead Creek and then Owl Creek. As you hike the riverside portion of the loop, you’ll also note occasional short spur trails leading down to the river. Those are “fisherman’s trails” that just might lead to good fishing spots. Should you decide to take a break and enjoy this natural air conditioning, you’ll appreciate the fact that there are several benches along this portion of the trail. Those convenient resting places provide great vantage points for enjoying the view of the river. Eventually, the upriver leg of the loop ends at Mulberry Creek. There, the trail turns left and follows Mulberry Creek upstream for a few hundred yards to the intersection with the return leg of the loop. Several spurs lead off from that intersection, but turn left to stay on the main trail. As you hike the return leg of the loop, you’ll note a ridge rising to your right. It’s a great place to look for spring and summer wildflowers. You’ll also see wetlands to your left. Those wetlands always offer the possibility of seeing wildlife, especially birds. Not long after starting the return leg, you’ll again cross Owl Creek – at that point just a trickle. Soon thereafter a footbridge will carry you over Arrowhead Creek. Eventually, the soft dirt trail turns to a boardwalk which carries you over an area of wetlands. Birders will want to be especially attentive through this section. The boardwalk is your signal that you’re nearing the point where you began the loop. When you reach that point, turn right to hike back to the trailhead and your car … or keep going straight to hike the loop again! Steve Hudson has written numerous books on fishing, hiking, the outdoors and more, including “HIKING THE HOOCH,” a complete guide to all of the trails of the Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area. Check it out in locak outfitters, on Amazon, or at www.chattahoocheemedia.com.

Becoming an Orthodontist

Avoiding runner’s knee

By JEFFREY JORDAN

Running and jogging are great spring sports. But did you know, knee injuries comprise about 55% of all sports injuries and approximately one-fourth of all problems treated by orthopaedic surgeons? While torn cartilage and ligaments, like the dreaded ACL tear, are the most common injuries in this area, many knee problems can result from the repetitive movement of the kneecap (patella) against the thigh bone (femur), which can damage the tissue under the kneecap and result in a condition called Patellofemoral syndrome, or “runner’s knee.” Replacing shoes and insoles regularly and running on softer surfaces, like a trail or indoor track rather than hard pavement, can help prevent this condition. Taking precautions to prevent over-use and strengthening your quadriceps through weight training may also prove helpful. These general guidelines may not be applicable in every case. If you do become injured, you’ll want to see an experienced, board-certified orthopaedic specialist before undergoing any treatment. OrthoAtlanta, one of the largest orthopaedic and sports medicine practices in Atlanta, includes offices in

Have you ever thought about the path of your career? Unless you look over your shoulder, you are unlikely to recall the people that influenced you along the way. I sat down with Jeff Jordan to ask him about his journey to becoming an orthodontist. Q: When did you know you wanted to be an orthodontist? A: I was thirteen years old in 1973, an orthodontic patient of Ike Rolader. My mother, Peggy Jordan, drove me to Buckhead once a month for treatment. Let’s just say, I was a complicated case with a pronounced overbite. Q: How did Ike Rolader influence you? A: It was his personality. He was positive, encouraging and energetic, the same qualities I try to bring to my orthodontic practice. As a child, watching a man love his work, stuck with me; and, I think a seed was planted. The people we come in contact with can have a profound influence on us, as Ike Rolader did for a young Jeff Jordan. The legacy continues as other young men and women, patients treated by Jeff Jordan, during twen-

ty-eight years of practice in Alpharetta, make dentistry their field of study becoming Dentists and Orthodontists in their own right.

Restless Legs Syndrome: What You Should Know (NAPSI)—If you or someone you care about think you are among the nearly 7 million Americans who suffer from Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS), it may be time for you to talk to your doctor. The Problem For many people with moderate to severe symptoms, RLS is debilitating—disrupting sleep, influencing mood and negatively affecting everyday life. It affects both men and women, though the incidence is about twice as high in women, and can start at any age. The condition causes an irresistible urge to move the legs. This urge is usually caused or accompanied by unpleasant sensations of burning, creeping, tugging or tingling inside the patient’s legs, ranging in severity from uncomfortable to painful. Symptoms typically begin or worsen during rest or inactivity, particularly when lying down or sitting, and may be temporarily relieved by movement, such as walking or massaging the legs. Symptoms often worsen at night, and disturbed sleep is a common result. Left untreated, this can cause exhaustion, daytime fatigue, inability to concentrate and impaired memory.

What’s more, people who experience RLS symptoms may inappropriately attribute their difficulty falling or staying asleep to insomnia or other sleep disorders. Others think they won’t be taken seriously, that their symptoms aren’t severe enough, or that the condition simply isn’t treatable. In fact, while there is currently no cure, symptoms can be treated with prescription medications. Unfortunately, because people are not discussing the underlying cause of their sleeping problems with their doctors, they can be misdiagnosed. An Answer Now, this common, treatable neurologic disorder is the focus of a social media campaign: #StopMakingExcuses, designed to raise awareness about the impact of RLS on sleep. “Sleep disturbances can be very detrimental to a person’s productivity as well as have a negative impact on his or her overall quality of life,” said Robin Goldstein, Ed. D, Licensed Psychologist. “More than four out of five people living with RLS and over one-third of their partners report that a restful night’s sleep

Legs: Continued from Page 24 is an area most affected by RLS. It’s time for them to stop making excuses for their symptoms and see a doctor for help.” Through this social media campaign, XenoPort, Inc. wants to educate Americans about RLS and encourage sufferers to talk with their doctors about their symptoms. “Approximately 75 percent of people who experience symptoms consistent with RLS have not seen a doctor about their discomfort and sleep disturbances,” said Richard K. Kim, M.D. “#StopMakingExcuses is intended to raise awareness of RLS and is designed to generate a call to action encouraging people experiencing symptoms to prioritize a healthier night’s sleep by talking to a medical professional.” Learn More You can join the RLS conversation on Facebook or Twitter using the #StopMakingExcuses hashtag.

The New Strong Gaining control over your fitness and your life For many people, aging equals lower metabolism, weight gain and less energy for activities you enjoy. This is directly related to loss of lean muscle. While you can’t avoid getting older, there are some steps you can take to stop the process of muscle loss and start rebuilding healthy, lean muscle. It doesn’t matter how old you are or whether you haven’t exercised in years. You can still regain lean muscle that improves your shape and increases your metabolism. Our downfall is inactivity. Too much sitting is the new smoking. Our bodies were meant to be active, stay active and be strong. When we stop doing meaningful exercise, we lose ground. What is meaningful exercise? A critical component of stimulating the improvements we seek from exercise is the achievement of momentary muscular failure in each exercise performed. With steady-state activities, like walking on a treadmill or biking, there

is no momentary muscular failure involved. Unless activity is demanding, it is practically worthless from an exercise perspective. However, if an activity is sufficiently demanding to take the targeted muscles to momentary failure, then it qualifies as meaningful exercise. Muscle failure should be viewed as a means of signaling the body that it needs to get stronger in order to meet the demands being placed upon it. What is the SuperSlow Zone solution? The SuperSlow Zone protocol is the original and genuine slow-motion, personal strength training workout. The exercise protocol has been proven successful in both building muscle and increasing resting metabolism, thus allowing the body to burn more calories at rest. SuperSlow Zone provides a safe and effective workout in a short amount of time so that you can get in, get out, and get on with your busy life!

NORTH FULTON, Ga. – Every day in 2016 – and for the foreseeable future – 10,000-plus Americans will turn 65 years old. For the more recently maturing seniors – the 75 million baby boomers – many are intent on aging right where they are: at home. Programs supporting our seniors’ physical requirements – food, housing and medical care – are numerous. The more emotionally nourishing social support, however, is largely unaddressed. The number of companionship and social interaction programs open to seniors are extremely few, except at a price. Senior Services North Fulton is intent on changing that for seniors in Alpharetta, Johns Creek, Milton, Mountain Park, Roswell and Sandy Springs. North Fulton’s four senior centers provide good examples of this commitment. There, seniors can enjoy meals, socialization and education with transportation to the centers and then back home. Beyond that, Senior Services has designed programs for seniors who, because of frailty or other reasons, cannot congregate communally. Senior Services North Fulton’s Friendly Visitors program is a good illustration of those alternatives. Friendly Visitors matches seniors interested in occasional companionship with volunteers happy to provide the company. Unlike many commercial endeavors in this regard, this matching mechanism is free, powered by a corps of volunteers. Martha Murphy, a budding senior

Senior Services North Fulton’s Friendly Visitors program depends on volunteers such as Colleen Davis, left, sharing time with older adults who can appreciate social contact. herself, is a veteran among the group. Her engagement as a Friendly Visitor began as most do, with no long-term commitment but with a willingness to test the waters with a senior looking for occasional company. Since then, the routine has become a weekly event – something of a Big Brothers Big Sisters routine, only in reverse. Murphy’s Tuesdays are now occupied in the company of her senior counterpart, running errands, having lunch and taking walks in local parks. “You don’t have to do heroic things,” Murphy says. “It’s the little things that make the biggest difference. In fact, the impact of a smiling face and small compliments go further than anything else.” Recently, renewed energies and a dedicated program leader have poured new energy into Friendly Visitors. In doing so, the group hopes to attract new volunteers, seniors and family caregivers to participate. To learn more, go to www.ssnorthfulton.org/ and look for the Friendly Visitors program under the volunteer tab.

KATHLEEN STURGEON/HERALD

The members range in age from 50 to 74 and live all around the metro Atlanta area, including Milton, Alpharetta, Roswell, Johns Creek and Cumming.

‘Girls just want to have fun’ Dancing group proves age is just a number By KATHLEEN STURGEON kathleen@appenmediagroup.com ATLANTA — They say to dance like no one is watching, but members of one local group are dancing like no one is asking their ages. The Atlanta Silver Classix Crew is a self-proclaimed dynamic dance group comprised entirely of members who are 50 and older. The crew was formed in 2010 by Leslie Alison, who is in her 30s, as a way to get baby boomers involved in dancing. Alison is a former NBA dancer of five years and captain of the Atlanta Hawks Cheerleaders. Since its formation, the group has performed at various events including Atlanta Hawks, Georgia Tech, Atlanta Braves and Harlem Globetrotters games. In addition, they like to dance at places like nursing homes, charity events and even on TV for “America’s Got Talent” and “Dance Battle America.” One of their most notable, recent accomplishments was being featured in the music video for “Watch Me (Whip/ Nae Nae)” by Silento, a popular dance craze. Other music the group dances to include T.I., Ludacris and “The Dab.” Atlanta Silver Classix Crew members range in age from 50 to 74 and

live all around the metro Atlanta area, including Milton, Alpharetta, Roswell, Johns Creek and Cumming. Many have previous dance experience including as NBA or NFL cheerleaders, while others had never danced at this level before. Beverly Johnson has been a member of the team for three years. She said it’s very competitive to get on the squad and even veteran members have to try out each year. She heard about the team when she decided to try out to be a Falcons cheerleader, an audition Alison was helping to organize. Johnson said Alison came up and told her about the Silver Classix Crew and suggested she try out. “Even though I was 50 and over, at that point I couldn’t get my arms around it,” Johnson said. “I didn’t want to be on a team where everybody knew I was 50 or older. Finally, after a couple years, I thought ‘I don’t care.’ And tried out and auditioned. Luckily I made the team.” Similar stories of how they found the group are common between dancers, including a former ballerina who thought she could never dance again due to her age. However they found out about it, they all agreed it’s “cool” to tell someone in their 30s or 40s that they are

Girls: Continued from Page 27 “not old enough” to join. Despite the perks of the business, the group said they are often underestimated due to their age. To play this up, Alison will sometimes start routines with music from the 1980s or disco just to live up to the stereotype, then blow people away. “We hate the word ‘senior,’ we prefer ‘baby boomers,’” Johnson said. “I see people go ‘oh yeah, what is this going to be.’ Then we start and the music is fast and we see mouths drop. They are shocked at what we’re doing.” Many of the dancers have children

who are young adults and who listen to the music they dance to. Often their children will say their friends think it’s cool their moms likes the hip-hop music. But no matter how hip the dancing makes the group feel, they do recognize the exercise is good for their bodies. Many of the members are facing personal hardships like health challenges or divorce. “We hear the crowd get excited and it gets us dancing harder and faster. The more the audience makes noise, the more we put into it,” Johnson said. “The big thing is promoting health and fitness. If you’re dancing, there are always new things to learn. It never gets boring. It’s fun, not work.” For more information, go to facebook.com/ClassixCrew.

Blotter:

Continued from Page 2 The woman informed Johns Creek police that charges of over $1,200 were found on her bill. $600 alone was charged to one office supply store in Stone Mountain. Other instances of use were found for an auto parts company and restaurant in East Point. The woman has already alerted her credit card company to file a claim and cancel the card. A police report was necessary to further the claim.

Everything’s phony about this suspect ALPHARETTA, Ga. — Alpharetta police arrested a man March 30 when he attempted to pay for $980 worth of postage stamps with a fraudulent check. The tipoff was he was dressed a woman. Police responded to a possible fraud in progress March 30, when the Old Milton Parkway Post Office reported suspicious activity by one patron. Police later identified the man as Daniel Bonanno of Roswell, 33,

dressed as a woman complete with a wig. He had allegedly attempted to pay for stamps with a $980 check and a suspicious Alabama driver’s license. When police walked through the door, Bonanno bolted toward his vehicle. Police caught up with him and arrested him. In his purse, police found multiple drivers’ licenses with different names. Several of the IDs depicted him as a woman. Police also found many blank licenses, a U.S. Military ID and a woman’s checkbook. To cap it all off, the 2014 Audi he was driving turned out to be stolen from Florida. Bonanno was cited for first-degree forgery for presenting a fraudulent ID, second-degree forgery for possessing multiple fraudulent licenses, fourth-degree forgery for presenting a fraudulent check, and identity fraud for possessing a checkbook that did not belong to him.

Shoplifter can’t shake habit ALPHARETTA, Ga. — A woman was arrested March 29 for allegedly helping to shoplift over $1,060 worth of clothes on Aug. 20, 2015. Alpharetta police were dispatched to a local clothing store Aug. 20, 2015, when they were alerted to three suspects who had allegedly left without paying for all of their items. Two men and one woman were seen stuffing unpaid merchandise into their shopping bags. They bolted when a loss prevention officer attempted to engage them. The missing items total over $1,060 and included multiple pairs of shirts, pants and hats. Some of the clothing was dropped by the fleeing woman along with her driver’s license. Alpharetta police found that the woman had “an extensive history” with shoplifting after running her name. A second warrant was added along with her existing arrest warrant.

Tsplost: Continued from Page 4 probably be discussed at the next Transportation Committee meeting later this month, then go to the City Council for consideration. “We do have a list staff’s been working on, but it hasn’t come to the full council,” Mayor Jere Wood said. Roswell Transportation Director

Steve Acenbrak said he anticipates having the list completed in early May. The big challenge, he said, is the five-year window. “There’s a lot of things we’d like to do,” Acenbrak said. “The question is can we really get these things done during the five-year window that the money is allocated.” Another complication involves local vs. regional projects. “In my sandbox, it’s Ga. 400 and Holcomb Bridge (Road),” Acenbrak said.

“Well, it’s not just a Roswell problem because we’ve got to envision what the managed lane project does to that interchange. MARTA, what does MARTA want to do? “We can’t design anything at Holcomb Bridge and Ga. 400 without understanding how all these pieces fit together,” he said. Acenbrak said the city has had several high-level meetings in an attempt to create one integrated map that shows the public where all the

TSPLOST projects will be. One of the challenges, he said, is that cities already have local road projects in the pipeline that have been approved for funding with local property tax dollars. Those projects may not be on the countywide TSPLOST map, but they are still going through because Roswell has already approved them with its own money, he said. “Trying to put all that into one graphic in a way that is clear to the public is a real challenge,” Acenbrak said.

Now Hiring: Membership Sales Coordinator Job Description: The Alpharetta Chamber of Commerce is hiring for the position of Membership Sales Coordinator. The job is in office or in the field, 4 days a week, 9 – 5. Duties: Coordinator is primarily responsible for selling memberships to the Chamber to Alpharetta businesses. While the Chamber currently has over 300 members, with over 6,000 businesses in Alpharetta the growth potential for the position is enormous. Most work will be done via cold calling and networking, and requires extensive follow up and sales pipeline maintenance. It is strongly encouraged that Membership Coordinator works closely with Events Coordinator to attract prospects to events in an effort to increase likelihood of signing new members. Will report directly to the President and Chairperson, with weekly meetings to go over call reports and identify prospects. Requirements: Must be professional, competitive, and self motivated. Requires a very independent person who is willing to put hard work into maximizing the potential of this position. Previous sales experience in a related field is preferable, but not required. A basic understanding of the dynamics of Alpharetta, and a short commute, is also preferable, but not required. Compensation: • $1,000/month base • 20% of all new member sales excluding Chairman’s Circle members brought in by someone other than coordinator • 2 weeks PTO • Eligible for year-end performance bonus • Advancement opportunities

About the Alpharetta Chamber: The Alpharetta Chamber of Commerce was established in November 2013 by a group of business leaders who wanted to build a business identity for Alpharetta much like the Chambers in Johns Creek, Sandy Springs, and the Roswell INC do for their cities. It was a goal to create an organization that Alpharetta businesses would be proud to be a member of, and use to grow its current and prospective business base. Already, in two years the Chamber has grown significantly in membership. During the first two “Charter months” (November and December of 2013) the Chamber established a base of 77 Charter Members. After the Chamber’s first full year in 2014, the membership total increased to over 170. As of March 2016, the Chamber sits at over 310 members. Joining the Chamber gives members the opportunity to take part in several signature events throughout the year. These events include: Women Who Walk the Walk, Golf Net- working League & Golf Tournament, Business Academy, Chamber’s Annual Gala, Thirsty Thursday!, and Alpharetta Restaurant Week. In addition to its signature events, the Chamber provides an extensive range of benefits to assist its members in networking, education, and marketing. It is also a vehicle for connecting its business community with the general population and showcasing what Alpharetta has to offer for prospective businesses and residents. More information about the Alpharetta Chamber can be found on www.alpharettachamber.com For more information or to apply, email a resume and cover letter to: hans@alpharettachamber.com.
