Do you follow the 20/20/20 rule?

By Dr. Samir Vira

Are you one of the millions who spends many hours in a day on your computer, smartphone, or tablet? Do your eyes feel tired, heavy, or sore at the end of a long day? You may be experiencing symptoms of digital eye fatigue.

Typically, an individual blinks his or her eye every 5 to 6 seconds.

Blinking allows the surface of your eye to be replenished with tears and feel comfortable. This rate diminishes by half when concentrating on a digital screen and can lead to digital eye fatigue.

Symptoms include eyestrain, intermittent blurred vision, and feeling of soreness or tiredness around the eyes at the end of the day.

Introducing Dr. Samir Vira to our Johns Creek location.

• Fellowship trained at Emory University in cornea, external disease, and refractive surgery • Board-certified • State-of-the-art surgery centers directly adjacent to many of our clinics providing the utmost convienience to our patients • Most advanced diagnostic and imaging technology At eighty-two years old, I never believed my eyes would be returned to such great sight. The surgery was a very easy experience, lasting just a few minutes with an easy recovery. By following exactly the very clear drop instructions, my eyesight continues to improve. Each day I thank the nurses, the associates, and my great doctor Samir Vira and then go outside and enjoy my new eyes.

- Robert P., Peachtree Corners The 20/20/20 rule has been developed to help individuals who experience digital eye fatigue. Every 20 minutes, you should take a break away from your computer for 20 seconds by looking at something 20 feet away. Following this simple guide will give your eyes some time to relax, to blink naturally, and to refresh your tear film.

Individuals with digital eye fatigue should also consider the use of lubricating drops. Over-the-counter artificial tears can help supplement your natural tears and relieve your symptoms. If you continue to experience persistent symptoms of eye fatigue, you should schedule an appointment with an ophthalmologist or optometrist for an evaluation of dry eye syndrome.

Dave McKemey 678-648-2010

By KATHLEEN STURGEON kathleen@appenmediagroup.com MILTON, Ga. — In August 2015, the city of Milton began updating its Comprehensive Transportation Plan from 2009.

Since then, surveys have been taken, tactics have been discussed and meetings have been held to finalize the plan. On April 11, an update was given to the Milton City Council.

According to the city of Milton’s website, “a long-range, multimodal transportation plan that will assess Milton’s existing and future transportation needs, the goals of a CTP are assisting with identifying transportation priorities, establishing a relationship between local and regional expectations and supporting other plans (like the Comprehensive Land Use Plan).”

This is a one-year effort and, so far, the city has completed an inventory of all existing conditions as well as an update to the needs assessment, according to Cristina Pastore, with Kimley-Horn and Associates, who is helping with the plan.

“This is building on the work we did as part of the 2009 CTP,” she said. “The city’s been doing a great job at keeping all of that information up-to-date.”

When you consider the size of Milton, that’s nearly 4 percent of the population ... This is phenomenal.

Such an amazing turnout and feedback and response rate from the residents of Milton. We were thrilled.”

CRISTINA PASTORE Kimley-Horn and Associates Now the group is in the phase of gathering recommendations, Pastore said. Work on the plan will wrap up in

June or July with a complete report.

“We are looking at what the needs are today, as well as in 25 years, and assessing what those transportation needs might be,” she said.

In addition to working on a document with transportation information to share with Milton residents, Pastore said her group has also attended two football games to get the word out about the survey, had a public meeting at the Milton Library, completed three focus group meetings including one dedicated to inclusionary needs focused on individuals with disabilities, and completed the first round of the online survey. Over 2,000 people visited the survey, which approximately 1,300 completed, she said.

“When you consider the size of Milton, that’s nearly 4 percent of the population,” Pastore said. “This is phenomenal. Such an amazing turnout and feedback and response rate from the residents of Milton. We were thrilled.”

Some of the priorities the group looked into were vehicular travel, walking and biking and public transportation safety.

Future meetings and a survey will be released to gather more information.

Preliminary school budget includes $41M in salary increases Fulton to use added revenue to reward staff

By CANDY WAYLOCK candy@appenmediagroup.com FULTON COUNTY, Ga. — The Fulton County School System will see its revenues increase by more than $40 million in fiscal year 2017 over the current year, with those funds going directly to providing raises for teachers and staff.

Fulton Schools joins nearly every other school system in the area budgeting for salary increases, although its planned 5 percent for teachers is one of the more generous programs. As the ranks of people going into the teaching profession are dwindling, school systems – especially those in high-population areas – are scrambling to recruit and retain top talent.

Ron Wade, chief talent officer for Fulton Schools, said Fulton competes with nearly 60 other systems offering K-12 education in the Atlanta metro area; and the sea of available talent gets shallower each year.

“The teacher shortage is absolutely impacting the supply and demand of top teaching talent,” said Wade. “It is a highly competitive situation.”

In the 2013-14 school year, the

University of Georgia had a 12 percent decline in students going into the teacher prep program — and that has direct impact on the fiscal year 2017 school year.

In addition to the 5 percent increase for teachers, all nonteaching staff will get a 3 percent increase. A separate salary schedule will be created for high-demand special education teachers who will earn a $3,000 salary supplement on top of the across-theboard raise.

In total, the preliminary budget for Fulton School’s general fund is $952.1 million in fiscal year 2017, up more than 4 percent from the $912.4 million for the current fiscal year 2016 budget.

The general fund is the pot of money which includes school-based programs, including salary and benefits, and is the largest of the various funds.

The increase comes primarily from a 5 percent increase in local tax revenues, on top of a nearly 3 percent increase in state funding which will add nearly $40 million in additional revenues over fiscal year 2016.

The total proposed budget for the Fulton School System is $1.3 billion,

which also includes the pension fund, school nutrition, debt service and capital programs in addition to the general fund.

School finance officials praised the fiscal health of the Fulton School System, noting it emerged from five years of economic downturn with reserves of over $200 million, and was still able to provide either a one-time bonus or raises to staff in each of those years.

“We are in a strong financial condition with a clean audit, healthy reserves, triple A credit rating, and diversified funding options that mean we just don’t rely on taxpayers’ dollars to help fund our schools,” said Marvin Dereef, deputy chief financial officer.

But Fulton taxpayers still do carry the bulk of the funding weight. Local tax revenues make up nearly 62 cents of every dollar spent by the system.

That percentage has fallen over the past few years as state funding has increased – primarily due to less money being withheld through permanent austerity cuts which began in 2002.

This year, the state will withhold only $7 million of funds earned by Fulton. That compares to more than $55 million withheld in fiscal year 2010. Since 2002, the state has cut

nearly $400 million from Fulton’s share of state revenues through austerity reductions.

Fulton Schools will keep its millage rate of 18.502 unchanged in fiscal year 2017. But since the added revenues are not being returned to taxpayers in the form of a lower millage rate, the system will have to hold public hearings on what is essentially a tax hike.

The preliminary budget is expected to be approved on May 19, with final adoption on June 7.

Fiscal Year 2017 Budget Highlights •

• • • • • •

5 percent raise for all teachers and step increases for eligible staff ($25.8 M) 3 percent raise for nonteaching staff and eligible step increases ($10M) Additional $3K supplement for special education teachers ($4M) Additional days for counselors, social workers and psychologists ($1.87M) No draw from reserves to fund budget Additional flex position at each of elementary schools No increases to department budgets, despite expected increase in students (zero-based budgeting)

‘Laissez les bon temps rouler’ All I could smell was duct tape.

The duct tape was holding up a sign bearing the name of Ellis Marsalis. I was literally inches from the front of a stage where one of the greatest jazz pianists of all time was set to perform in minutes. If I wanted to, I could KATHLEEN STURGEON reach out my hand and touch the music stands.

Editor kathleen@appenmediagroup.com When the music began, the experience was unlike any other concert I’ve attended.

These weren’t just musicians playing songs to a crowd. These were artists painting a musical picture and using their instruments to say things that words can’t convey.

Which is to say this was just another day in New Orleans. I was visiting The Big Easy for a week and every day was better than the next.

If you’ve never been to New Orleans, you need to go as soon as possible. Post-Katrina New Orleans is back and better than ever.

We were lucky enough to visit during the annual French Quarter Festival, a free music event with stages scattered around the French Quarter in the heart of the city, where the music flowed about as freely as the alcohol.

The morning of the festival, a parade kicked off the festivities. No place does parades quite like New Orleans. Weddings, funerals, festivals all call for a parade to get the fun started.

Our goal was to get as many beads thrown to us as possible. And, no, it was not that kind of bead-throwing experience. This was a children’s parade, complete with politicians, pirates and live animals — including one very annoyed llama — prancing down Bourbon Street.

Toward the end of the morning, we caught up with the parade and joined in on what is known in New Orleans as a second line, which is when the crowd starts following the “main line” of parade participants.

I mean, what else do you do in New Orleans when the Bourbon Street parade you’re watching invites everyone to join in and Louisiana’s lieutenant governor is waving to you?

You join in.

So we waved our hankies, clapped our hands, sang along to “When the Saints Go Marching In” and had the time of our lives.

I tried to think of a lesson that I learned to share in my column. But really the only thing I could think of was that I should aim to be more like the locals.

They were always laughing, smiling and enjoying the moment and the music with bands on nearly every corner. Literally, we couldn’t go a block without seeing someone playing some instrument.

There’s a reason this wonderful city is called The Big Easy. Everything is just … easier. And, honestly, don’t we all need some time in our lives to sit back and just listen to the music?

So continue to let the good times roll, or as they say in NOLA, “laissez les bon temps rouler.”

OPINION

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Cluster homes in Milton?

In biblical times it was customary to place a stone at the site of a great battle to give thanks for help. Ebenezer was the name given to such a stone to commemorate Israel’s victory over the Philistines.

How fitting that the latest great battle to preserve rural metro Atlanta is taking place on my street, Ebenezer Road. This street sits at the very edge of Milton and the yellow line divides Milton from Roswell. At the very end of this dead-end road is a 67-acre parcel of land that is in the final stage of attempted rezoning. This land is presently zoned as AG-1, requiring all the houses sit on at least 1 acre of land.

Brightwater Homes has proposed a plan to build 50 homes on the property, but 23 of these homes are planned to occupy only quarter-acres lots similar to cluster homes. Brightwater Homes presents itself as a “green builder” that doesn’t want to disturb the back part of the property and keep it as green space. I suspect that is a cost advantage of shorter streets, less landscaping and shorter utility runs for the 23 cluster homes that will save the developer significant amounts of money and increase the profit from the project at

the expense of the AG-1 zoning. I propose that the “green builder” title refers to the color of the Brightwater’s bank accounts, not to the amount of chlorophyll preserved.

Milton City Council just voted down the conservation subdivision ordinance several months ago. It has returned in a far more malignant form using “green” and “conservation” as cover words to build cluster home communities with community septic systems at the end of a dead-end street on the very edge of Milton. There has been no compelling reason why granting this variance for cluster homes is in the public interest for the people of Milton or for the people, like myself, who live on Ebenezer Road. If this variance is granted, where will this cancer show up next?

With your help on April 25 at 6 p.m. at the Milton City Council meeting another great battle can once again be won. Please show up and encourage the council to vote against changing the zoning and to reject the variance for Brightwater Homes. Help to preserve the rural nature of Milton and Ebenezer Road.

David Gower, Milton

GUEST COLUMN

Arts advocacy goes proactive: Roswell Arts Fund kicks off ArtAround Roswell, A Sculpture Tour I am thrilled to be the founder and chair of the Roswell Arts Fund, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization created as a direct outcome of the Imagine Roswell Arts and Culture 2030 study conducted by the city of Roswell.

Completed in February 2015, ROCHELLE MUCHA one of the study’s key recommendations to the city was to establish Chair, Roswell Arts Fund a new, independent nonprofit that would be a powerful advocate for the arts and would focus on making the city of Roswell an arts destination by fully integrating the arts into the social and economic fabric that is uniquely Roswell.

As the designated arts agency for the city, that is the mission and mandate of the Roswell Arts Fund.

So how do we accomplish this?

We do it by strategically investing in public art — temporary public art such as the ArtAround Roswell sculpture tour and permanent public art such as the Bucket Brigade that will be installed at the site of our new Fire Station No. 4.

We do it by exploring how to build, buy or renovate a space that can be transformed into a state-of-theart, multifunction performance space.

We do it by cultivating a culture of philanthropy and identifying foundational revenue sources to drive these initiatives.

And we do it by forging meaningful and collaborative relationships between our artists, art organizations, creative industries, and our business and political leaders.

We illuminated these goals and more at our inaugural ArtAround Roswell preview party March 13 at

River Landing, sponsored by New Kent Capital.

The purpose of the event was to introduce the Roswell Arts Fund, promote the city’s first sculpture tour and raise funds to buy one piece of sculpture as a permanent gift to the city of Roswell.

The ArtAround Roswell sculpture tour, a collaboration between the city of Roswell and the Roswell Arts Fund, will feature 10 works of art on loan to the city by their artists and installed at selected Roswell area parks from April through December 2016.

The nine-month exhibition will showcase sculptures with a variety of styles, types and sizes. All works of art will be available for purchase.

Sculpture sponsors include the 2015 Downtown Development Authority members, Bank of North Georgia, Gas South, Lennar Multifamily Roswell City Walk, Roswell Convention and Visitors Bureau Board (Roswell Inc. and Visit Roswell), and Publix Supermarkets.

ArtAround Roswell will transform our parks into a museum without walls, introducing public art to our residents and visitors of all ages. The specific artworks were selected by a carefully chosen panel representing community stakeholders.

The final pieces capture our city’s modern spirit and Southern soul while embodying a city focus on nature, preservation and recreation — especially bicycling.

The Roswell Arts Fund believes that art, in its many forms, defines our sense of place and drives economic and social vitality. We know that the tour will spark conversations and imagination, and we invite our regional community to participate.

ArtAround Roswell kicked off with a communitywide free event April 16 at Roswell Area Park playground. There will be a free communitywide event at a different sculpture site every month for the duration of the year. Find out more about events and monthly contests at artaroundroswell.org. We invite you to explore, experience and enjoy!

An acrylic rendition of a hooded merganser pair by 16-year-old Rayen Kang of Johns Creek was chosen the Best of Show for the 2016 Georgia Junior Duck Stamp Competition.

JC student wins Best of Show in art competition JOHNS CREEK, Ga. — Rayen Kang, a 16- year-old student at the First Fine Art & Design Academy in Johns Creek, is the winner of the annual 2016 Georgia Junior Duck Stamp Art Competition held last month at the Piedmont National Wildlife Refuge in Juliette.

Five judges unanimously selected

Kang’s acrylic rendition of a hooded merganser pair as the Georgia Best of Show.

Kang’s original artwork will be entered in the National Junior Duck Stamp Contest on April 22, at the J.N. Ding Darling National Wildlife Refuge Visitor Center in Sanibel, Florida.

As the state winner, Kang will receive a $175 scholarship from Georgia Power, sponsor of the Georgia Junior Duck Stamp Program, as well as a certificate and ribbon.

“I chose the hooded mergansers to paint since they looked cool. This took about eight to 10 hours to paint in class,” said Kang, who has been painting for over five years.

This year, 560 Junior Duck Stamp entries were submitted statewide from 17 different public and private schools, home schools, art studios and afterschool programs.

Kang’s winning entry was submitted through art teacher Shengji Qu, a film scenery artist, designer and art director at First Fine Art & Design Academy.

Junior Duck Stamps are sold by the U.S. Postal Service and Amplex Corporation consignees for $5 per stamp.

Proceeds from the sale of Junior Duck Stamps support conservation education, and provide awards and scholarships for students, teachers and schools that participate in the program.

Pick my Brain: Opiates for self-medication — Part 2 In a recent meeting with a substance abuse treatment and referral program, the Director and I spoke at length about a medically-based approach to the diagANGELO SAMBUNARIS, M.D nosis and treatment of substance abuse.

Director of the Institute for Advanced Medical Research After a discussion about genetics, chemical imbalances within the brain, the draw to self-medicate as well as the use of new medications to treat underlying conditions and the success we have with this approach, the Director looked at me and said, “Still, they all need therapy to deal with their history of abuse, molestation and psychological trauma.”

I was caught by surprise as it was apparent that his personal experiences had overshadowed the data and science.

Many families struggle with the concept of addiction as self-medication.

After all, if it is self-medication, “they can stop, right?”

On the surface what looks like addiction to substances is the biological draw to treat symptoms that create an ever-increasing psychic and physical discomfort. It is an angst unlike any angst.

After one hit, one drink, or one toke, this angst is minimized; using the substance even more frequently prevents it from returning or rearing its ugly head again.

Who hasn’t had a stressful day and looked forward to a cold one or glass of wine?

This is a very common and socially acceptable approach to relieving the stress of our chaotic world. Let’s say it becomes routine and over time the dose increases (one glass becomes two) or the strength increases (beer becomes liquor).

Tolerance is a core symptom of substance abuse. The brain adapts over time by up-regulating brain receptors, down-regulating neurotransmitters which causes the user to seek out stronger forms of self-medication. Alcohol with its resultant hangover makes way to marijuana. Marijuana has minimal adverse effects with no discomfort the next day and effectively treats the underlying symptoms of anxiety and discomfort.

Eventually, post-dental procedure or surgery, an opiate is prescribed and

nirvana is achieved. Suddenly there is no pain, no anxiety, and the individual finds a truly long-lasting effect with minimal side effects.

The cycle of adaptation (tolerance versus drug seeking behavior) in the brain begins again and at some point the clinician refuses to prescribe anymore pills. Once cut off from access to treatment for anxiety (not pain) by their surgeon or pain doctor, they look to street suppliers of opiate pain pills.

Since the DEA implemented increased scrutiny, the availability of street pills has decreased and prices have risen.

The result: a migration to heroin as longer-lasting, effective and a much cheaper alternative.

The solution for this medical conundrum is a medical diagnostic evaluation, including a review of the family tree (recall the word genetics) looking for psychiatric illness, substance abuse and dependence, a review of current prescription and street drugs and an understanding of beneficial effects from each (“what do you like about this medication or drug?”). By pulling together a complete picture of the individual, a treatment plan that is holistic and all-encompassing can be created and implemented.

The best success is achieved with buy-in from the entire family and its inherent social support.

Remember, it takes a village! The more difficult cases occur within families that have poor insight into the disease and its process, deny the disease and direct anger and/or retribution toward the user or sometimes toward society. Talk therapy can facilitate medical treatment but it cannot treat the condition alone -- the underlying angst of anxiety will push addicts back to use again and again. Bottom line, we all recognize the problem and know there is an answer. Now we just need to do it.

Forsyth County is attractive for millennials in that we are enjoying growth in the jobs that they find attractive while also having real access to the outdoors.

JAMES MCCOY, president of the Cumming-Forsyth County Chamber of Commerce

Forsyth named one of top housing markets for millennials

By KATHLEEN STURGEON kathleen@appenmediagroup.com FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. — According to CoreLogic, a company devoted to giving its clients data-driven insights, millennials are a key demographic for real estate marketing.

This detail was included in a report recently released by Bret Fortenberry, staff scientist with the company.

“The millennial population size exceeds the baby boomer population and is now at the prime home-buying age,” Fortenberry wrote in the report. “However, current trends show that many in this demographic are choosing to rent rather than purchase a home, so it’s important to understand their buying behaviors in order to tap into this large pool of prospective homebuyers.”

In response, CoreLogic “analyzed over 70 metrics associated with mortgage purchases by millennials across the nation over the past year.

“According to CoreLogic analysis, millennials are most likely to buy homes in metropolitan areas with an improving economy,” Fortenberry wrote. “The research shows that millennials are buying in markets they can afford, and specifically, where there are good-paying jobs and home prices are low.”

Using the findings, Forsyth County ranked sixth in the nation for counties in which millennials are likely to purchase homes. Ranked first is Douglas, Colorado.

The group also ranked the lowest 10 counties, and Georgia’s Clayton County came in second.

“Forsyth County is attractive for millennials in that we are enjoying growth in the jobs that they find attractive while also having real access to the outdoors,” said James McCoy, president of the Cumming-Forsyth County Chamber of Commerce. “The lake, rivers, Sawnee Mountain, the large number of parks, greenway and proximity to the mountains are great amenities for millennials that bike, hike, paddle and enjoy the outdoors,” all of which millennials find appealing, he said.

“You get more for your money in Forsyth County,” McCoy said. “Millennials are interested in having fam-

ilies and we have one of the leading school systems in the nation.”

According to the data from the CoreLogic propensity models, there will be a shift in where millennials purchase homes in the next six months, Fortenberry said.

“The shift will move from cheaper areas that border the improving counties to the heart of the improving counties in which the housing market is more expensive,” Fortenberry said. “It is possible that this shift is already happening, but we are not seeing the corresponding numbers because of a reduced number of millennials who can afford to purchase homes that are more expensive.”

Stadiums spark real estate boom Challenging When I was growing up in Atlanta, we had one stadium for the Braves and the Falcons and there was nothing appealing around it, and we liked it! But, boy, how times have GEOFF SMITH changed.

Assurance Financial, gsmith@lendtheway.com Atlanta-Fulton County Stadium was utilitarian and housed both the Falcons and the Braves. It had plenty of seating – most of which went unused – and got the job done. And once the games were over, everyone hightailed it to their cars to get the heck out of dodge. Atlanta was still young in many ways and we were lucky to have it.

When the Georgia Dome was built, it definitely carried with it a high cool factor. There were not a lot of domes at that time and many Atlantans felt the stadium was cutting-edge. I was always a throwback and preferred that football be played outdoors in the grass, but even I had to admit it was pretty spiffy at the time.

After the Olympics, and after demolishing Atlanta-Fulton County Stadium, the city converted the Olympic stadium into what is today Turner Field. It was a huge improvement and we marveled at how great a place it was to watch a baseball game.

For the stadiums for both teams, though, one thing never changed: their surroundings remained undeveloped and uninviting. After a good game, or before, there was nothing near the stadiums that you could walk to and do. And there still is not.

From what I’ve read, for years the Braves organization had been asking the city of Atlanta to do something to try to spur economic development around the stadium. And it was the city’s and county’s inability to do so

that eventually led to the decision to move to Cobb County.

With these new stadiums, you can rest assured that there will be plenty of inviting activity right outside the gates.

Arthur Blank worked hard to ensure that the areas around his new stadium will be improved. After hinting at threats to also move outside the city, he decided to build the new stadium virtually next door to the Georgia Dome, and a number of actions have been put in place to improve the surrounding neighborhoods.

The city of Atlanta, along with Atlanta Committee for Progress, launched the Westside Future Fund, which aims to provide more than $30 million for investment opportunities in the neighborhoods around the new Falcons stadium. Invest Atlanta awarded more than $6 million in grants for community development projects near the stadium. And when the Georgia Dome is demolished, the Georgia World Congress Center will replace it with an 800-room high-rise, four-star convention hotel.

Once the Braves move next year, the Turner Field site will also see significant development. Mayor Kasim Reed made it a mission to make something good out of something bad and the result will be a huge mixed-use development that blends with a huge expansion of Georgia State University, and a more direct connection to downtown.

As for the new Braves stadium, Liberty Media, owner of the Braves, has turned the Braves into a serious real estate firm by buying and devel-

your customers

oping much of the area around the new stadium. Crews are working six days a week to make sure the stadium is complete for opening day next year. Construction has also started on a 250,000-square-foot office building for Comcast, a 260-room Omni Atlanta Hotel at Suntrust Park, and a 53,000-square-foot entertainment venue that will be called the Roxy. The area around the park is being called the Battery Atlanta and will include significant residential, commercial and office development. Local and state governments have stepped up and, last month alone, more than 20 road projects started around the stadium.

You can talk about an ailing China all you want. But these stadium projects and the development they are sparking in Atlanta will keep folks busy here for a long time.

How often do you challenge your customers on the strategies and tactics they are using to manage and grow their small businesses? If your customers aren’t interested in changing their current apDICK JONES proach, do you point Founder & President out the ramifications Jones Simply Sales of not changing?

Challenging your customers may sound like a bad thing to do, but it’s actually not. In fact, it can lead to helping you foster better relationships and increase your sales.

Everyone should know that doing the same thing over and over again is most likely going to produce the same results.

In other words, if your customers want better results, then they need to make changes.

Most of your customers may not know what to change or how to change what they are doing.

If you can show them a better way, and challenge the status quo, customers are far more likely to buy what you’re selling.

Challenging your customers requires that you spend time establishing credibility by sharing insights on their current approach, and why maintaining this approach won’t achieve optimal results. This will generate a lot more interest in the solutions you could offer them.

Learning what your clients are currently doing by asking good questions will allow you to identify opportunities to facilitate the changes they need to make, and is a pivotal part of the sales process.

Solutions you offer to change the status quo are far more readily accepted by following this approach. Challenging your customers the right way can help you get more business.

GET OUTSIDE GEORGIA:

Going for that Georgia gold!

One of the nicest things about Georgia is the variety of outdoor recreational opportunities that our state has to offer.

Hiking, canoeing, fishing or simple adventuring — STEVE HUDSON you’ll find it all Get Outside Georgia, Chattahoochee Media Group in the Georgia outdoors.

But what about gold prospecting?

Can you find that, too?

Indeed you can. Particularly as the weather warms, gold prospecting is an activity that increasing numbers of outdoor adventurers are coming to enjoy. It’s fun. And who knows? Maybe you’ll even be lucky enough to find some of that Georgia gold yourself.

Is there really gold left to be found in Georgia? Indeed there is. Every weekend, enthusiastic amateur prospectors set out with gold pans and high hopes, and you might be surprised at how many of them return home with at least a few flecks of the precious yellow metal to show for their efforts.

How much gold is still waiting to be found? Recreational prospectors are notoriously (and understandably) reticent when it comes to talking about how much gold they’ve found, but the fact is that many of them find gold often enough to keep it interesting. That’s not to say that you’ll be able to take up prospecting and then quit your day job – alas, that’s probably not going to be way it plays out. But it is safe to say that gold prospecting provides a passport that lets you explore the outdoors in an entirely new way … and if you keep at I’m fairly confident that, sooner or later, you too will experience the unforgettable thrill of spotting a gleaming fleck of gold winking at you from the bottom of your gold pan.

Where should you begin? The Georgia Gold Museum in Dahlonega is a great place to start and will help you become familiar with the big picture of Georgia gold. Soon, though, you’ll want to get outdoors and try searching for some of that gold yourself.

One of the best ways to start your search is with a visit to one of the commercial gold panning operations located within easy day-trip distance of where you live. Among them are the Consolidated Gold Mine and the Crisson Mine near Dahlonega, Gold ‘n Gem Grubbing at the old Loud Mine site west of Cleveland, and the Pine

Mountain Gold Museum at Stockmar Park just north of I-20 near Villa Rica.

These are family friendly sites which offer you the opportunity to do some gold panning with experienced veteran panners on hand to help you learn the ropes. Each of these sites provides a unique perspective on gold prospecting in Georgia, and a visit to any one of them is sure to result in a case of Georgia gold fever.

After you start to get the hang of gold panning, I’m betting that sooner or later you’ll want to try your hand at looking for “wild” gold – that is, gold that you find yourself out in the wilderness somewhere. Finding places to prospect for wild gold can be a grand adventure in itself, and the search for prospecting areas is an enjoyable activity in its own right and can lead to some beautiful places that you might not otherwise see.

Where can you search? Some public lands in northern Georgia are open for prospecting. In national forests, for example, recreational panning is usually allowed as long as you use only a gold pan and small shovel.

Similar panning is allowed on much Corps of Engineers land, notably on the east side of Lake Allatoona.

In each case, remember to dig only within the streambed. Do not dig into the streambanks.

Hunting for Georgia’s gold is a great way to enjoy Georgia’s outdoors!

In fact, prospecting can be so much fun that I’ve just finished a new book on that very subject. It’s called “Prospecting for Georgia Gold.” It explains how and where to prospect for Georgia gold, and it includes detailed instructions to help you learn how to pan for gold, too. It’s a pretty neat book, if I say so myself. Check it out. I think you’ll enjoy it!

Steve Hudson’s new book, “Prospecting for Georgia Gold,” will help get started on a treasure hunting adventure of your own. Check it out in local outfitters or on Amazon, or order an autographed copy at www.chattahoocheemedia.com.

King’s Ridge baseball wins marathon over Mount Pisgah Game spanned two days and 15 innings

By JOE PARKER news@appenmediagroup.com JOHNS CREEK, Ga. — It took two days, 15 innings, seven pitchers, 456 pitches and 125 at-bats, but King’s Ridge was finally able to beat region rival Mount Pisgah 5-3 last Friday.

The game, which began on Thursday, reached 12 innings before it was postponed to resume Friday since Mount Pisgah’s field has no lights. When play resumed on Friday, it still took three more innings for King’s Ridge, the two-time defending Class A state champions, to beat Mount Pisgah, ending their 10-game winning streak.

As the game began Thursday, it became clear the Patriots were riding on a high of a long winning streak and had no intentions of letting their rivals end it. The Patriots played with obvious grit and determination, but 15 innings is an awfully long time to maintain such tenacity.

In the bottom of the first, Mount Pisgah would score two runs with two outs.

Mount Pisgah’s Jacob Greene would score from third as Lawson Hill attempted to throw out a runner stealing second. Greene would be given the green light from third, and with the throw back to the plate late, he would score to give the Patriots the lead.

Zach Messinger, who started on the mound for the Patriots, would drive in an RBI with a ground ball hit just in front of the plate.

The ball’s high bounce didn’t give Kyle Brnovich enough time to make the throw to first, scoring Alden Pascucci from third.

In the top of the third, King’s Ridge would score on a passed ball to cut the Mount Pisgah lead to 2-1.

Though Mount Pisgah’s Greene would bat just 1-6, his sole hit put the Patriots’ lead back to two runs with a double in the top of the fourth. Mount Pisgah would load the bases with one out but the Tigers’ Brnovich would strike out Thomas McGee and Garret Brasher to get King’s Ridge back at bat.

However, it wouldn’t be until the top of the sixth that King’s Ridge could score, but they were able to

tie the game thanks to an error that scored HIll and an RBI from Brnovich.

With neither team able to score after the seventh, the game move into extra innings.

King’s Ridge had the first good opportunity to score when they loaded the bases in the top of the ninth with one out. It was a role reversal of the fourth inning, in which Mount Pisgah loaded the bases but then had two batters strike out.

Jacob Cendoya, who took over for Messinger in the top of the eighth, struck out the Tigers’ Hayden Milling and Michael Wein, giving the Patriots another chance to win with a run.

Yet the Patriots struggled to hit off Fraser Ellard, who took over in the eighth inning. Ellard pitched five innings, striking out five and allowing four hits.

With the game still tied at 3-3 after the bottom of the 12th inning, play was postponed until Friday.

And then it kept going.

The Patriots stranded two runners in bottom of the 13th and the 14th but, in failing to score, they continued to give King’s Ridge more chances.

The Tigers were finally able to take advantage, scoring nine innings after the last run was scored, on a Trey Parker single that scored Cullen Monette from second. Parker would then score on a single from Ellard to give the Tigers a 5-3 lead.

Once again, the Patriots would get runners in scoring position but were not able to score. With runners on first and second with two outs, Tigers’ pitcher Will Janofski would pick off Messinger at second base, ending the two-day game in the 15th frame.

With the win, King’s Ridge secured their place in the region championship game against Walker.

The Cambridge varsity girls soccer team shut out the Sprayberry Yellow Jackets with a 7-0 win and continues their unbeaten region streak.

Lady Bears soccer continues win streak MILTON, Ga. — The Cambridge High School varsity girls soccer team continued their unbeaten regional streak March 18 when they hosted the Sprayberry Yellow Jackets.

The Lady Bears secured their overwhelming 7-0 victory, despite missing several players who were out of town or injured.

The game opened with a score by Mary Koch about ten minutes into the first half. From there, the team continued to steadily rack up points throughout the night, until they unleashed a sudden burst of activity in the last half. The final three goals were all quickly won together during the last ten minutes of the game.

The Lady Bears go to 3-0 in region.

Eagles’ goalkeeper Bridget Deehan made three consecutive saves, Hinsdale was able to tie the game at 4-4.

MIlton then scored three unanswered goals before halftime, including a Velez goal with just five seconds left in the first half, to take a 7-4 lead into halftime.

With the first half featuring solid defenses by both teams in creating turnovers and shutting down lanes to the net that kept the game close, the second half would be all Milton.

MIlton’s defense and goalie Deehan would shut out Hinsdale Central in the second half to take the 19-4 win, with the Eagles scoring 15 unanswered goals to end the game. Deehan compiled eight saves in the win.

MIlton Assistant Head Coach Matt Snyder said the game was absolutely a tale of two halves.

“We came out a little flat this morning,” said Snyder, but adjustments at halftime would pay dividends for the Eagles.

“We changed our offense and

changed the girls in the circle to get the draw,” Snyder said. “You get the draws and you win the game.

“We also made a few defensive adjustments positioningwise and it really helped.”

Snyder also praised goalkeeper Deehan, who he said had a great performance.

MIlton shot 30 percent in the first half, but would double that to 60 percent in the second half as they piled on the goals.

In the win, six Milton players would score multiple goals including HItchinson, Velez, Catts, Jessi Masinko, Kate Wisness and Erin Degnan. Masinko led the team in points with two goals and two assists.

Later that day, the tables were turned on the Eagles.

In their final game of the tournament, Milton played Good Counsel (New York) and were beaten in decisive fashion, 16-5. Good Counsel is ranked No. 18 in the nation according to MaxPreps. com. Milton is ranked eighth.

The loss was just the second of the season for five-time defending state champions Milton, with both losses coming from schools ranked in the top 25 in the nation.

NAFL donates equipment to Ray of Hope Cambridge

By JOE PARKER news@appenmediagroup.com ATLANTA — The North Atlanta Football League and South Forsyth High School joined with three other organizations to make a much-needed donation to Ray of Hope Christian Church’s youth football program.

Pads, helmets and other equipment were donated to the Decatur church’s program by the NAFL while South Forsyth and Starr’s Mill high schools, along with Hebron Christian Academy and New Found Life Youth Football League, donated funds to buy the team new uniforms.

Alpharetta’s Dunn Right Sports created Ray of Hope’s new uniforms at cost with the donated funds.

Jeremy Bennett, the NAFL’s equipment manager, said the support speaks volumes about the communities in North Fulton and Forsyth.

“The NAFL and the other organizations (who donated) are always in competition for players,

but everyone came together for a cause,” he said.

“Every year (the NAFL) refurbishes our equipment and our uniforms and (Ray of Hope) didn’t have the resources to do that. They were very happy to receive our equipment and very nice uniforms.”

Rusty Reed, also with the NAFL said, “In my humble opinion, that’s why we are here. To love all of these boys, regardless of what team they play on and, instead of talking about helping and leading, we all need to make up our minds and our hearts to help those who are right in front of us. Love is an action verb. We forget that sometimes.”

Bennett said other leagues do not have the same funding as those in the North Fulton area, and this donation allows Ray of Hope to take pride and compete on the same level as organizations with more resources.

Ray of Hope competes in the North Metro Football League.

In addition to the Ray of Hope donation, the NAFL also provides scholarships to kids on the free and reduced-price school lunch program to reduce their costs to play by $300, or 75 percent of the cost. The NAFL has also partnered with the Ed Isakson/Alpharetta Family YMCA to allow any child who has demonstrated need through their organization to receive the scholarship.

The NAFL partnered with the Forsyth County Youth Football Association three weeks ago to play under the same rules, allowing the two leagues to compete with shared rules.

Registration is now open for the NAFL. For more information or to register, visit www.NAFL.club.

Milton hosts first Coffee with Cops

By KATHLEEN STURGEON kathleen@appenmediagroup.com MILTON, Ga. — Residents with concerns that aren’t considered emergencies now have a way to get in contact with the Milton Police Department.

The city formed Milton Police and Citizens Together a few years ago to give citizens a better way to interact with the police. As part of the MPACT program, the first Coffee with a Cop event was held April 13.

Through MPACT, the city is divided into 16 geographic areas with one officer assigned to each zone. Officers serve as liaisons between community members in each region and the department.

During the Coffee with a Cop event, officers had a chance to meet face to face with people in their areas.

In the last year, the city has changed the MPACT program by giving every officer an area of responsibility within the city, said Shawn McCarty, uniform patrol captain.

“This is so that all members of

Upcoming MPACT events: May 18: 7-9 a.m. at Mugs on Milton in Crabapple, 12670 Crabapple Road June 15: 7-9 a.m. at Wilbur & Rudy’s Farmtable, 850 Hickory Flat Road July 13: 7-9 a.m. at Bethwell Community Center, 2695 Hopewell Road the community, whether it’s business members or citizens, can have a contact with the police department,” he said. “We’re having four Coffee with Cops events. It’s an opportunity to get face to face.”

As an added enhancement to MPACT, a web page has been created that lists which specific officer is in charge of each zone, McCarty said.

Sgt. Kevin Barry talks to Beth Farwell about MPACT. “Anyone in the city can go on, type in their address and it will immediately let them know who their MPACT officer is,” he said. “They can see a picture of the officer, their name and an email link so they are readily available to get in contact.”

This is not for emergencies, McCarty said.

“This is for if you have a question about something going on in your neighborhood or if you have a concern,” he said. “For any emergency situation you will still dial 911. This is for other things which can be simple, like an officer coming by for your son’s birthday or if you have a question about our community programs and you don’t know who to ask.”

The average citizen has problems with smaller concerns such as speeding, noise or trash complaints, he said, and not necessarily crime. The MPACT program helps address such non-emergency law enforcement issues.

“It gives an easy, accessible way to get in contact with people and police,” he said, noting MPACT originally grew out of a neighborhood watch focus.

A BETTER WAY FOR MILTON TO GROW: SWEET APPLE Under consideration April 25th by Milton’s City Council is a new neighborhood proposal from Brightwater Homes – Sweet Apple on Ebenezer Road. Sweet Apple represents an important opportunity to develop a neighborhood that is better, smarter and in keeping with the character and equestrian feel Milton seeks to maintain. And unlike the Conservation Subdivision Ordinance, this proposal is voluntary, does not negatively impact other Milton landowners and does not allow an increased number of homes.

Milton’s 2030 Comprehensive Land Use Plan describes this area of Sweet Apple as a character area in the city – one that should be considered carefully with respect to its natural beauty including trees, lakes, streams and pastoral views. Unfortunately, development under AG1 zoning would destroy these very things. Alternatively, Brightwater’s proposed plan for Sweet Apple honors the character of the land while maintaining high quality and value with custom-designed homes priced from the $700s to $1 million.

April 13 for possession of sexually explicit photos of children on his cell phone. Roswell police were called to a local nonprofit April 13 in reference to a sexual exploitation of children complaint. A staff member reported finding a cell phone in the facility’s common area. He had tried to identify the phone owner to return it, but when the staff member opened the phone, he found pictures of underage girls instead. After the initial shock, the staff member was able to determine the identity of the phone’s owner and filed a complaint with the manager and Roswell police.

Staff told police that the man had been implicated in a previous in-house report in January for possession of inappropriate photos on his phone. This incident had not been reported to the police. Police confronted the suspected man, Kevin Robinson, 41, who initially denied possession of these materials.

However, he later confirmed to the manager that he had solicited pictures of girls ages 11-15. Robinson told her, “I have a problem … I want younger

Their combined worth totaled over $1,570.

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.

Full-time

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.

• $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.
