Battle the Bulge!

By Kiran Sajja, M.D.

Kiran Sajja, MD.

Cosmetic Plastic Surgeon

Not at your waist line, but on your face! How many times do you look in the mirror and you think…that can’t be me! You envision yourself as energetic and youthful, but your eyes tell a different story. You find the droopy skin of your upper eyelids make you look disinterested or angry. The puffiness and dark circles of your lower eyelids make you look tired and aged.

Gone are the days that you have to grow graceful with age…

YOU CAN DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT!

Did you know that your insurance may cover eyelid surgery?

Eyelid rejuvenation is a common outpatient procedure which combines the use of minimally-invasive facial injectables and surgical techniques. Botox and Dysport can be used to relax the tense muscles of the brow and forehead and diminish prominent crow’s feet. Fillers, such as Restylane, Juvederm, and Sculptra, can be used to correct loss of natural volume that occurs with age restoring a youthful contour to the eyelid and cheek.

Blepharoplasty or eyelid surgery can be performed to remove excess skin and fat around the eyes. These procedures can be performed with minimal to no scarring.

Upper eyelid surgery in some circumstances may be covered by your medical insurance.

At Milan Eye Center, Dr. Kiran Sajja has demonstrated unsurpassed skill in the use of facial injectables and eyelid surgery. He has been designated, by his peers, as one of the “Best Doctors in America”. Dr. Sajja is a fellowship-trained, Board-certified ophthalmologist specializing in reconstructive and cosmetic oculofacial plastic surgery. This unique background means Dr. Sajja possesses the microsurgical precision of an eye surgeon and the artistry and imagination of a plastic surgeon.

Dr. Sajja uses a wide variety of injectable products and surgical techniques to achieve your desired result. Dr. Sajja welcomes the opportunity to discuss your specific cosmetic concerns and work with you to design an appropriate and individualized treatment plan.

Dr. Sajja is available for consultation at 5 convenient locations across North Atlanta in Johns Creek, Marietta, Cumming, Buford, and Canton.

Dave McKemey 678-648-2010

By KATHLEEN STURGEON kathleen@appenmediagroup.com FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. — After many citizens asked for more details on the new Wal-Mart coming to Ga. 369, the Board of Commissioners worked in conjunction with Wal-Mart to set up a meeting at the May 5 BOC meeting.

The location has been confirmed at 3555 Browns Bridge Road, or Ga. 369, west of Ga. 400, on about 38 acres. It will bring about 300 jobs to the area, with half possibly being full time, depending on the needs of those applying for jobs.

David Kirk, with the law firm Troutman Sanders, represented Wal-Mart and gave a presentation.

He said this undertaking has been a long time coming and shared some of the project’s history.

In 2003, the property was zoned for commercial development with 33 conditions, he said. But, at the time, Wal-Mart was not involved with the rezoning. In 2006 or 2007, Wal-Mart got involved when the land owner took their proposed site plan through the plat approval process.

However, the deal fell through due to the recession. In 2010, the BOC approved the modifications to the conditions. Wal-Mart began working again with the owners in 2012.

“It has been a long time coming,” Kirk said. “It is important to stress that, since 2003, this property has

been appropriately zoned for large-scale commercial development.”

Based on their current schedule, Kirk said work is expected to begin soon on the development which, in addition to an 185,000-square-foot Wal-Mart Supercenter, will also include a fuel station and several commercial out lots for restaurants and other retail establishments. Construction should take about 13 months with a grand opening sometime in the second quarter of next year.

The store and fuel center will take up about 21 acres while the rest of the 38 acres will be dedicated to remaining out lots, parking, storm water facilities and other areas.

“These improvements include turn lanes and a signalized section of the main drive, an additional right-only entrance on Ga. 369, a second eastbound through lane on Ga. 369 and Ga. 400 and a signal upgrade at the intersection,” he said.

It’s important to note, Kirk said, that County Attorney Ken Jarrard relayed a note from Commissioner Cindy Jones Mills requesting Wal-Mart consider delaying construction until the proposed widening on Ga. 400 and other improvements are made by the county and Georgia Department of Transportation.

“While I can’t give you an answer tonight to that inquiry, I can tell you this request has been taken very seriously

Also at the meeting: • Commissioners approved, 4-1 with Chairman Pete Amos against, extending a moratorium to June 3 prohibiting acceptance of applications for rezoning, zoning condition amendment, sketch plan approval, or conditional use permits, pertaining to properties seeking or previously zoned RES2, RES3 and RES4. A public hearing will be held June 2 to consider extending the moratorium again until Dec. 31.

• Renderings were shown regarding the proposed public/private initiative to beautify the interchanges along Ga. 400 • A first public hearing was held regarding proposed changes to the Forsyth County Alcohol Ordinance to allow certain package sales by brewpubs. There will be another public hearing May 19 and a final public hearing June 2.

by Wal-Mart and is being thoughtfully and thoroughly considered and evaluated internally,” he said. “Once a decision is made we certainly will let Mr. Jarrard know as soon as possible.”

Prior to this request, plans for the improvements were given to GDoT with the expectation being, as those projects progress, they can be designed and implemented in a way to minimize disruption and account for improvements already made by Wal-Mart, he said.

Study forecasts Forsyth’s population in 2040

Will more than double

By KATHLEEN STURGEON kathleen@appenmediagroup.com

FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. — At the current rate Forsyth County is growing, it’s not hard to believe the population will probably reach 430,301 by 2040.

According to a forecast by the Atlanta Regional Commission, Forsyth County will grow at the fastest rate of any county in metro Atlanta, seeing its population more than double. The prediction looked at certain areas focusing on age and race/ethnicity.

The ARC examined 20 counties in metro Atlanta including Bartow, Cherokee, Forsyth, Hall, Paulding, Cobb, Gwinnett, Barrow, Carroll, Douglas, Fulton, DeKalb, Walton, Rockdale, Coweta, Fayette, Clayton, Henry, Newton and Spalding.

Jim Skinner, senior principal planner with ARC, said Forsyth is one of the younger counties in 2015, with only 11.2 percent of its population over 65, ranking the 13th largest share amongst the 20 counties.

The 65-and-up population in Forsyth will increase, according to ARC’s

series 15 forecasts, to 18.2 percent of the total population by 2040, but still will rank only the 12th highest share amongst the 20 counties, he said.

Counties that are at present younger than Forsyth, including Fulton, Gwinnett and Cobb, are forecast to be older in terms of the 65-and-up share by 2040.

“That said, the county will age rapidly even if not all that quickly relatively,” Skinner said. “Forsyth’s 65-and-up population will increase almost 240 percent from 2015 to 2040, faster than that in any other county save Gwinnett, at 250 percent. But this 65-and-up growth is not that different from that expected in other cohorts.

Forsyth is also forecast to have the highest percentage increase in population 0-17 across the 20 counties, from 2015 to 2040, at 86 percent compared to 31 percent for the 20-county area as a whole — and a top-ranked 95 percent increase in the 18-64 primary labor force cohort 2015-2040.”

Diversity in Forsyth will increase, but at slower absolute levels than most other counties in the metro area, he said.

While the white, non-Hispanic

JIM SKINNER ARC senior principal planner portion in the 20-county area will fall from 49 percent in 2015 to 42 percent in 2040, Forsyth County’s white, non-Hispanic share is projected to fall less rapidly, as it will decline only from 78 percent to 73 percent, with its net expected white, non-Hispanic increase of almost 151,000, or 94 percent, the highest absolute increase in that race/ ethnicity group among the 20 counties, according to Skinner.

The minority of the population that is not white, non-Hispanic will increase from only 22 percent in 2015, compared to nearly 58 percent minority in 2015 across the 20-county area, to 28

COMING SPRING 2017!

percent in 2040, which is just over 1 in 4 — while the regional share will increase to 2 in 3 by 2040, or 66 percent.

“That said, strong-percentage minority growth will occur in Forsyth,” Skinner said. “Black, non-Hispanic, other, non-Hispanic, and Hispanic populations will all more than double between 2015 and 2040 in the series 15 forecasts for Forsyth, with Hispanic leading the way at 215 percent increase over the period.”

Forsyth schools top College and Career Ready Performance Index

By KATHLEEN STURGEON kathleen@appenmediagroup.com FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. — As a way to hold schools accountable, the Georgia Department of Education publishes an annual College and Career Ready Performance Index in which all state schools are graded, much like a report card. And, to no one’s surprise, Forsyth County Schools did well.

“The CCRPI is a comprehensive school performance platform,” said Karl Mercer, director of accountability for FCS. “The index is based on multiple indicators including state-mandated assessments, attendance, career pathway completion, climate, SAT/AP scores, school climate and more.”

The GDoE started calculating CCRPI in 2012, Mercer said. Forsyth’s district, elementary, middle and high averages experienced an increase from 2012 to 2014.

However, the 2015 CCRPI scores cannot be compared to 2012-14 due to the new Georgia Milestones assessments, changes in indicators and new performance targets. These baseline scores will be used to create the Strategic Waivers School System, formerly IE2, performance targets for 2016-20, he said.

Forsyth County school’s College and Career Ready Performance Index: Elementary schools * System: 92.3 * Georgia: 76 • Big Creek: 101.7 • Brookwood: 100.5 • Chattahoochee: 94.8 • Chestatee: 87.7 • Coal Mountain: 88.2 • Cumming: 85 • Daves Creek: 102.3 • Haw Creek: 92.1 • Johns Creek: 101.4 • Kelly Mill: 88.6 • Mashburn: 93.9 • Matt: 86.6 • Midway: 88.4 • Sawnee: 87.2 • Settles Bridge: 99.3 • Sharon: 98.2 • Shiloh Point: 97.2 • Silver City: 82 • Vickery Creek: 93.4 • Whitlow: 97.5 According to the GDoE website, “CCRPI is Georgia’s annual tool for measuring how well its schools, districts and the state itself are preparing students for the next educational level.

tiple indicators, are combined for a total CCRPI score on a scale of 0 to 100, with a possibility of 10 additional points. The CCRPI also reports other information, such as the performance of student subgroups, school climate and financial efficiency status, the website said.

The overall Georgia score for elementary schools is a 76, middle school is 71.2 and high school is 75.8, with an overall score of 75.5. FCS exceeded those numbers by having an elementary school score of 92.3, middle school of 91.1 and high school of 87.6, with an overall score of 91.8, the highest in the state.

“Forsyth County Schools wants to make sure we are doing the best things for kids,” Mercer said. “We are a very data-focused system. CCRPI is a big piece of our school improvement process. Schools use their CCRPI information to determine strengths and areas of need. We also use this information to collaborate as a district because we see that strengths in some schools tend to be areas of need in others. We are very proud of our students, staff and schools. These scores are the result of the great work our district is doing every day.”

An experiment in being healthy This past year I’ve tried my hardest to eat healthier. I have cut out (some) junk food from my diet, I started drinking tea and I even discovered I enjoy salads.

This new lifestyle KATHLEEN STURGEON has given me the ability to be more food Editor kathleen@appenmediagroup.com flexible and, with that, I’ve begun leaving my carbohydrate comfort zone and venturing into the land of the healthy food.

So far it’s been successful. Who knew real, raw food was so delicious? Plenty of people knew that already, I’m sure. But it’s hard to choose an apple over a bowl of hot queso dip.

Nevertheless, I do try to not say “no” to foods as much as I did before … except meat, as I’ve been a vegetarian for over half my life.

So when a bag of kale chips made its way into our office a few weeks ago, I thought “sure, they seem to be all the craze, why not?”

Boy, was that a mistake. Maybe the first clue should have been the fact that these weren’t just plain kale chips — they were ranch flavored.

As a Southern girl, I grew up with ranch dressing on the side of everything.

Our salads, pizza and even potato chips were dipped, smothered and covered in that tangy and flavorful topping.

Personally, I find ranch to just be OK. While it’s not something to write home to mom about, I find it fairly agreeable.

So when I saw the chips were flavored with it, I thought it couldn’t hurt it, right?

Well, it did hurt. Not only was the ranch not up to par with Doritos Cool Ranch chips, these kale morsels couldn’t even be considered “chips.”

The best way to describe them is they look like the stuff I used to feed my goldfish. They smell like it, too.

The taste is just odd. It’s a little crunchy and the texture is that of a very burnt piece of popcorn that usually stinks up the whole house.

Our office decided the silver lining to the kale chips is that everything you eat after those tidbits tastes 100 times better.

So when I saw the plate of brownies next to the bag of kale chips, it was like the angels had come down and were singing a beautiful siren’s song.

Surely since I took the bullet and ate one kale chip I now deserved a gooey, freshly baked brownie, right?

My quest to eat healthier continues, but I think the next time I want to eat something green I’ll just have a salad.

OPINION

This is the best we can do: An ex-first lady or the best self-promoter since P.T. Barnum?

What choice do we have in November?

So what is a columnist to write about the rest of the summer and through fall regarding this coming presidential election?

You can’t really satirize either HATCHER HURD candidate. They Executive Editor hatcher@appenmediagroup.com are such caricatures of candidates already that they are virtually satire-proof.

Is it pillory Hillary?

Dump the Chump?

Both offer ample targets for lampooning with plenty of chinks in their armor: Benghazi, Trump University, etc. But the one chilling reality is that these ARE our choices for the presidency in the November election.

This is the best we can do: An ex-first lady or the best self-promoter since P.T. Barnum?

After hearing Congressman Tom Price speak to the Johns Creek Chamber of Commerce, I was commiserating with a lady whose opinions I respect. We were both lamenting over the lack of substance in the coming presidential election.

Suddenly, it hit me — the solution to the dilemma is right here in front of us. Who has been our staunchest ally over the last 200 years? Why, Great Britain, of course.

OK, there was that little altercation in 1776 and a flare-up in 1812, but that is ancient history. They have a Parliament, but it never seems to do

very much. Sounds just like Congress, doesn’t it?

But who is really in charge? Who really wields the power? Why, the queen, of course. And who doesn’t like Queen Elizabeth?

She keeps the British Parliament in line, doesn’t she? Whoever is prime minister, he/she still has to report to the queen. It’s like taking your report card to your mother. You can’t talk your way out of those D’s and F’s.

You have to own up. You can’t lie to the queen, can you?

So we can just send a delegation to Buckingham Palace to say we are sorry for the misunderstanding, and we are ready to come back into the fold. We’ll pay our tea tax and celebrate your birthday.

Shoot, we’ve never really gotten over being gaga about royalty. We still stay up and watch the royal weddings. We can’t wait to hear if the latest aristocratic offspring will be a boy or girl and then join in the speculation over what name to choose.

We loved Elizabeth’s jubilee.

So why not return to the mother country? Then we could just putter along with any old president and let Congress pick a new one if the current one doesn’t measure up.

Don’t get me wrong. We would not totally surrender to British culture and customs.

We know the trunk of our car is not a boot.

And we know the right side is the right side of the road.

We won’t give up our football for soccer. They call it football, but I

You can’t really satirize either candidate.

They are such caricatures of candidates already that they are virtually satire-proof. know the difference and what they play is soccer.

And we won’t adopt their spellings and pronunciations either. They are far too lackadaisical with where they put their e’s, such as in centre. And they allow the letter u far too much freedom to just wander into any word it wants, like in colour.

But, for a given value of government, a queen might just be the ticket out of what could become an embarrassing situation in the White House.

I have heard more and more people say they are going to move to Canada after the presidential election. Such a thing has already begun to have international consequences.

The Canadians are talking about building a wall.

Foster Forsyth is in full swing Participate in person and online in May FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. — The first round of public workshops for Foster Forsyth, the process of updating the Forsyth County Comprehensive Plan, sought input from the community about the long-term priorities and vision for the county. Community members are now invited to imagine what that vision will look like at design workshops this May. Five design workshops will be held between May 11 and May 21.

The upcoming design workshops include: • Thursday, May 12, 6 to 8 p.m.: Central Park Recreation Center, Banquet Room • Monday, May 16, 7 to 9 p.m.: Forsyth Central High School, East Cafeteria • Wednesday, May 18, 6 to 8 p.m.: Fowler Park Recreation Center, Community Room • Saturday, May 21, 10 a.m. to noon: Fire Station 4 (Ducktown) The Design Workshops will gather community input on character areas throughout the county. The workshops will be interactive in nature – participants will work collaboratively with the planning and design staff to identify appropriate land uses as well as future development character areas. While the Design Workshops will focus on refining the land use element of the plan, it is expected that topics related to other key elements, such as housing and economic development, will be integral to the conversation.

Participate in the Foster Forsyth

community survey: www.survey monkey.com/r/fosterforsyth The online community survey is an additional avenue for community members to provide input to the planning process.

The survey asks about long-term vision and priorities for the county’s future with a focus on future growth and development. The survey launched on April 25 and will be available through May 22. A link to the survey is also available at the project website, FosterForsyth.com.

Provide input via interactive map: Where should new development occur in Forsyth County? Where should new development not occur in Forsyth County? Do we need additional county services, such as fire stations, senior centers or schools? Show us where on an interactive map on www.FosterForsyth.com, available by clicking on the ‘Contribute’ tab on the website home page.

Foster Forsyth will result in a full update to the county’s Comprehensive Plan, focused on community elements such as housing, transportation, zoning and other land use matters, as well as economic development.

The Comprehensive Plan is the umbrella policy document for the county’s future growth and development, which plays an important role in rezoning and development decisions. The plan also establishes community goals and priorities for the county’s future.

The Comprehensive Plan update process is being conducted by Jacobs in collaboration with Kimley-Horn. For information, visit FosterForsyth.com or contact Audra Rojek, a member of the Jacobs consultant team, at (404) 9787569 or contactus@fosterforsyth.com.

A large crowd gathered for the Hammond’s Crossing ceremony.

Hammond’s Crossing, Coal Mountain intersection dedication ceremony held FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. — Two intersections in Forsyth County were recently renamed.

The intersection of Ga. 306 and Ga. 369 in north Forsyth County was officially named Hammond’s Crossing during a dedication ceremony May 4, thanks to the combined efforts of the Forsyth County Board of Commissioners, Georgia General Assembly and Georgia Department of Transportation.

Through the collaborative efforts of

the Forsyth County Board of Commissioners, Georgia General Assembly and Georgia Department of Transportation, the intersection of Ga. 9 and Ga. 369 in north Forsyth County was officially named Coal Mountain Intersection during a dedication ceremony May 6.

Hammond’s Crossing has long been a hub for the local economy in north Forsyth County.

There, the first general store was built around 1897, owned and operated

by William Henry Hammond.

The Hammond family continues to conduct business at this intersection today, operating Hammond’s Fishing Center. This philanthropic family also gives back to the community through their establishment of the Thomas Hammond High School Fishing Club Fund, which provides scholarships to new fishing clubs.

The name for the area of Coal Mountain can be found as far back as

the 1870 federal census. Located just north of Cumming, the area is home to Coal Mountain Baptist Church, established in 1886, and Coal Mountain Elementary School.

Coal Mountain has been a point of trade for more than 200 years and has been home to a general merchandise store, Wofford Hatchery, Martin’s Store, Coal Mountain Building Supply, Thomas Lumber Company and the office of Dr. William Bottoms.

Mock trial teaches students about judicial system

By KATHLEEN STURGEON kathleen@appenmediagroup.com FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. — The jury was out May 3 when more than 160 fifth-graders from Chattahoochee Elementary School performed mock trials at the Forsyth County Courthouse.

The students spoke with “witnesses,” the jury made a decision and Chief Judge Jeffrey S. Bagley happily played along to teach students about the judicial system.

Bagley has been joining with the Forsyth County School system since 1998 to help put on events such as these mock trials as a partner in education.

He said he was inspired by his predecessor, Judge Stan Gault.

“It’s a good community outreach,” he said. “It provides students at a pretty good age to get an idea of what goes on in the court system. So many people have never been to court unless they’re in trouble or have a problem.

You want the public to get an idea of what it’s like to demystify the process of court. It introduces the students to a court setting.”

The mock trials are scheduled to celebrate Law Day. Law Day, held annually on May 1, is a nationally recognized day for reflecting upon and promoting public awareness of the foundational nature of law in the United States.

This year’s theme, “Miranda: More than Words,” underscores the importance of the American court system and its role in ensuring access to justice.

“That was quite a discussion trying to explain it to fifth-graders,” he said.

KATHLEEN STURGEON/HERALD

Students listen to Judge Jeffrey Bagley as he explains the case.

“A lot of times the Law Day theme is a little challenging to explain to fifthgraders. But we got it done. I try to speak so they understand what I’m saying. Of course they have lots of questions, so I answer those. But it’s amazing they can be quiet, listen and they really want to learn about the subject.”

Every year a different school is chosen to perform the two fairy-tale mock trials, with this year’s being “Rumpelstiltskin” and the “Three Little Pigs.”

“It gives them exposure as to what a case is really like,” he said. “We start

with opening statements, go to evidence and finish with closing arguments.

The judge charges the jury. The jury deliberates and reaches a verdict.

That’s how it is. Of course this is a bare bones experience, but it gives them the opportunity to learn how a case is structured.”

It also gives the students exposure to the courtroom.

“How many people get to sit on the witness stand when they want to?” he said. “The kids who are on the jury get to go back in the jury room and have an experience where the real jurors go.”

This is something Bagley said he does routinely because he enjoys it.

“I enjoy interacting with the kids and teachers,” he said. “I get the satisfaction of knowing I am able to reach out to the community. We do our routine and are sort of separated from the public eye. It helps the legal profession and judiciary to get out in the community to let people know we are real people. We do the job of the courts every day, but we still want to connect with the community in a way we can under our ethics by teaching about the law, in this case the fifth-graders.”

N.F. Chamber honors Women in Business Lisa Carlisle named 2016 Woman of Excellence

By KATHLEEN STURGEON kathleen@appenmediagroup.com JOHNS CREEK, Ga. — Reach in, reach up and reach out.

That was the mantra May 4 at the Greater North Fulton Chamber of Commerce’s Women in Business spring awards luncheon, at the Atlanta Athletic Club.

Two awards were given out at the event. The first was given to Lisa Carlisle for 2016 Woman of Excellence. The second was awarded to Theo Keyserling for the JenLan Rising Star Awards.

Women of all backgrounds listened to Moira Vetter, founder and CEO of Modo Modo Agency, talk about her history and offer business tips.

Using the day’s theme, “Reach,” she said one of the most interesting things

about the topic is that it is both a noun and a verb.

“In marketing we are often talking about ‘the noun,’” she said. “We’ve established reach and we have a room full of people that are in our sphere of influence that we can count on. It’s a thing.

If you think about reach as a verb, it’s what has to happen before you end up with the noun. You have to take risks and reach out.”

Vetter said professionals need to constantly work on their reach with intention.

“Reach is not just ambition or accumulating more people,” she said.

“Sometimes it can be extending an olive branch or healing something. It can be hard working with different groups of people to extend an olive branch. It takes leadership and a certain kind of person who can bring people together.

That’s the kind of thing in reach that will make you very successful in business.”

Halcyon Latest Stamp of Reviewing Approval on Forsyth’s Future employee The new 134acre Halcyon development, which broke ground on Feb. 5, is the latest sign that the business environment is strong in Forsyth County.

I remember 15 GEOFF SMITH or so years ago, Assurance Financial, gsmith@lendtheway.com New York Life decided to build a regional data center in south Forsyth.

The project was much more than a big win for the business community and the addition of jobs. It was a Fortune 100 company doing some serious due diligence and putting its stamp of approval on the future outlook of the community. The then-CEO of the company flew down from its Manhattan headquarters to celebrate with the local Forsyth leaders.

Today it seems like New York Life made a good bet. Forsyth County leaders have done a lot to try to improve the quality of life there. Among developers, they were known for years as having some of the area’s highest impact fees (fees charged to developers during the permitting process) – which they used to build schools, fire and police stations, parks and libraries.

Forsyth residents passed a $200 million bond referendum that will add one lane each way on Ga. 400 from McFarland Parkway to Bald Ridge Marina Road, adding an interchange on Ga. 400 at McGinnis Ferry Road, and extending Ronald Reagan Boulevard from Majors Road to McFarland Parkway.

The Board of Commissioners in Forsyth is now talking about significant makeovers of every Ga. 400 intersection which would include better

Halcyon; a $370M, 134-acre planned community. on and off ramps, and beautification that could include public art, sculpture effects and architectural fencing.

There is a movement to try to create a community improvement district – which is a district in which all the businesses contribute a tax to go toward improvement projects put forth by the CID’s board. There is a similar district in Alpharetta that has been responsible for beautification of Alpharetta’s Ga. 400 intersections and the construction of the new Encore Parkway bridge over Ga. 400.

The county mimicked Alpharetta and built its own greenway along Big Creek, which it hopes to connect with Alpharetta’s Big Creek Greenway to one day. The plan is to have a continuous biking trail along that creek from Forsyth County south through Alpharetta and into Roswell.

These projects and others are the reason Forsyth County was the 11th fastest-growing county in the country last year. It grew by an estimated 4.2 percent, adding an estimated 8,556 new residents. They are the reason one of its high schools, Lambert, is consistently recognized as one of the best in the state. I’m not sure they are the reason for this, but it should be noted that the

county was named the healthiest county in Georgia for the last several years in studies by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and the University of Wisconsin Population Health Institute.

Just as the New York Life project was a significant stamp of approval on Forsyth’s leadership and direction, so is Halcyon. Developers RocaPoint Partners and the Georgetown Company are betting $370 million that the community will support this project.

That is a lot of money.

Halcyon was designed by award-winning master planner Lew Oliver, who also planned Avalon. The project is a 134-acre planned community that is based on town centers in England and France. Centered around a town green, the project will include 500,000 square feet of residential, office and retail space.

There will be 92 residential lots, 280 apartments and a hotel associated with the project. The architecture is sure to be fantastic and the project will link to the Big Creek Greenway, which cuts right through the property. It will be at the intersection of McGinnis Ferry and Ronald Regan Boulevard and phase I is scheduled to open fall 2017.

The project will also add something the county has been lacking: a true live, work, and play town center project.

performance As a small-business owner, how often do you review the performance of your employees? When you review your employee’s performance, are you using this time not only to rate their performance, but also to DICK JONES coach them on how to Founder & President Jones Simply Sales improve it? The lifeblood of successfully running a small business is high-performing employees. If you’re not continually focused on reviewing and improving your employee’s performance, you most certainly are not optimizing their ability to help you grow your business.

The starting point for reviewing your employee’s performance is to have a documented performance plan which spells out what you want them to do. The more specific you are on what you expect, the easier it is to provide feedback. Including both qualitative and quantitative measurements, such as new account quotas or sales goals, will help you to provide more precise feedback.

When reviewing an employee’s performance, it should be a “two-way” conversation. Have each of your employees do a “self review” first of how they think they are performing. This will allow you to better prepare for the actual review and leverage the input from your employees.

With hundreds of things on your mind as a small-business owner, never lose sight of the fact that your employees are most likely your top asset. Spending time reviewing their performance will help them do a better job, and by doing this it will help you to better run and grow your small business.

‘MOTHER’S DAY’

BUSINESSPOSTS

Hollywood comes to local fitness center Workout Anytime tapped as location for Jennifer Aniston-Julia Roberts flick

By HATCHER HURD hatcher@appenmediagroup.com JOHNS CREEK, Ga. – Go to the Workout Anytime fitness center and you can work up a sweat, but had you been there a few months ago, you might have gotten a famous movie star’s autograph.

Hollywood came a calling to Johns Creek to film a big-budget romantic comedy starring Jennifer Aniston, Julia Roberts, Kate Hudson and Jason Sudeikis just out called “Mother’s Day.” The film opened April 29 and now patrons can see where much of it was filmed in the Atlanta area – and Johns Creek.

The Workout Anytime fitness center at Old Alabama and Haynes Bridge roads is the setting for major scenes in the movie. It had Workout Anytime franchisee James Wofford literally seeing stars.

“It was all a fluke really, that they picked my place to shoot. Apparently the COO of Workout Anytime used to work in Los Angeles and is a friend of one of the producers,” said Wofford.

“They needed a fitness center for scenes in the movie and asked our guy if they could use one of ours.”

There are 24 locations in the Atlanta area but they chose Wofford’s Johns Creek center (he has a second franchise in Smyrna).

Needless to say, Wofford was pleased, even though the gym had to close for two days while they shot the scenes.

Actually, it was more like four days since Workout Anytime is open 24 hours a day to fit anyone’s workout schedule.

“Yes, it was a top Hollywood movie,

2014, 2015, 2016

with a bunch of great stars and directed by Garry Marshall,” Wofford said.

He said Marshall was a funny guy.

Not surprising since Marshall has made a career in comedy as a gag writer for “The Tonight Show” and later wrote and adapted for television comedies such as “The Odd Couple,” “Happy Days” and “Mork and Mindy.”

Marshall graduated to movies with such hits as “Pretty Woman,” which launched Julia Roberts’ career. He also directed such hits as “Runaway Bride” and “The Princess Diaries.”

Wofford said security was tight during shooting, but he was allowed in because one of the execs wanted someone around should they need anything associated with the building.

“He shoved a walkie-talkie in my hand and I just held onto it. That was like my pass to get in,” he said.

And while it was a closed set, he was able to get his two teenage daughters, ages 14 and 16, in to watch.

“They said it would be OK but absolutely no photos. So they stayed in my office which has a one-way mirror. So they’re in there with their cell phones …”

Let’s just say, for at least a week, Wofford was a cool dad.

Wofford said he went to see the recently released “Mother’s Day” (it’s still playing in theaters throughout the area) and was surprised and pleased that his fitness center got a lot of “screen time.”

“They had shots of the place outside with the logo [an establishing shot in the trade], and the scenes inside had our sign on the wall, too. They even wore our T-shirts. It was great for our individual club,” Wofford said.

Workout Anytime owner James Wofford relaxes in his Johns Creek fitness center with his souvenir poster of the movie that had scenes shot there.

He has also gotten some reaction from his members who have already seen the movie.

“Yeah, the members have been talking about it. They were excited,” he said. “They knew why we were closed for shooting. I would see some of them hanging out in the parking lot.”

Wofford said he thinks his business has “got some bumps” from the exposure.

“As a company, we definitely have seen some bumps in attendance. And the movie’s only been out a week.”

Ultimately, sustaining success will come from what Workout Anytime has to offer today’s busy consumer. Not only does it offer a 24-hour schedule and access to the latest training machines including free weights, it offers personal trainers, tanning beds and hydromassage.

“We want to make sure they have everything they need to be their best and be available on a schedule that suits them,” Wofford said.

GET OUTSIDE GEORGIA:

Finding the peace pole at Alpharetta’s North Park One of the neatest things about spending time in the out of doors is the occasional unexpected discovery that you make. For instance ...

STEVE HUDSON If you know Get Outside Georgia, me, you know that Chattahoochee Media Group I enjoy fly fishing.

I’m always looking for new places to try a few casts, and one that has intrigued me for a long time is the small pond at North Park, a city of Alpharetta park located near the park’s Adult Activity Center and ballfields.

On my way home one day a few weeks ago, I decided to cut through North Park to avoid the Bethany Bend/Cogburn Road intersection.

Driving through a park always wins over sitting in traffic, doesn’t it? And since I just happened to have my fly rod with me (funny how that happens), I decided I’d take a few minutes and make a few casts … just a few ...

How was the fishing? Well, it was enough to say I’d been fishing, but that was about it.

Much more interesting, truth be told, was what I discovered up near the woods close to the far end of the pond: a small garden with benches and, in the center, a multisided post bearing the words “May Peace Prevail On Earth” in English and in several other languages.

“Now there’s something you don’t see every day,” I remember thinking, propping the fly rod against a nearby tree so I could further check out this unexpected discovery.

A plaque set among the pavers told me that this particular “peace pole” is one of “thousands erected around the world as an international symbol of peace.” The Peace Pole Project, as it’s known, originated in Japan in 1955, the result of the efforts of the late Masahisa Goi. Since that time (according to the organization known as the World Peace Prayer Society) an estimated 200,000 peace poles have been placed “in nearly every country on Earth.”

This particular peace pole site was born several years ago when the Rotary Club of North Fulton partnered with the city of Alpharetta to develop what’s now known as the Rotary Reflection Garden. The garden was ded-

icated in June 2013, and it has been appreciated by many area residents and visitors ever since.

The Rotary Reflection Garden in North Park is easy to find. North Park is accessed from either Bethany Bend Road or Cogburn Road via North Park Road. Park at the Adult Activity Center or in the parking area near the ballfields nearest the pond, then follow the main sidewalk to a paved and gravel-bordered walkway which starts at the road and continues more or less parallel to one side of the lake.

A small sign points to the walkway, which ends at the Reflection Garden.

You need only to listen to the news to be reminded that Goi’s Peace Pole Project is as timely now as it was when it began. Goi once wrote urging people to “join in the movement for world peace through prayer.” That’s a good thought for these complex times in which we live.

Steve Hudson’s new book “PROSPECTING FOR GEORGIA GOLD” will help you discover the fun of prospecting for Georgia gold. Check it out in local outdoor shops or on Amazon, or order an autographed copy at www. chattahoocheemedia.com.

May Is Arthritis Awareness Month May is National Arthritis Awareness Month. Led by the Arthritis Foundation, activities promote education about arthritis and raise funds for arthritis research, support, and advocacy. OrthoAtlanta proudly participated in the Southeast Region 2016 Walk to Cure Arthritis earlier this month. Yet recognition of this debilitating disease is year-long.

Arthritis strikes more than 50 million Americans, representing one in five adults and approximately 300,000 children. Actually a family of diseases with over 100 types, arthritis attack joints and connective tissues.

Everyday life becomes more difficult for arthritis sufferers and common activities such as standing, walking, and climbing stairs may be nearly impossible.

Osteoarthritis is one of the more common types, occurring when the cartilage that cushions the ends of our bones wears away. As cartilage

deteriorates, bone rubs against bone, causing pain, swelling, and stiffness.

Not all arthritis can be prevented, but you can oftentimes lower your risk if you: • Stay active • Maintain a healthy weight • Avoid joint injury Although there is no cure for arthritis at this time, OrthoAtlanta physicians and physical therapists can help you manage symptoms through a variety of treatments designed to restore mobility, reduce pain, and maintain the lifestyle you enjoy. When joint symptoms are severe, options such as joint replacement surgery may be appropriate.

OrthoAtlanta Orthopaedic and Sports Medicine Specialists includes offices in Johns Creek, 678-205-4261, and Gwinnett / Lawrenceville, 678957-0757. Learn More at OrthoAtlanta.com.

Not so Ugly Betty By: Dr. Jeffrey Jordan Jordan Orthodontics Orthodontics today is about improved function of the teeth, jaws and improved facial esthetics. Likewise, orthodontic appliances of today are more efficient, more comfortable and better looking.

As a result, treatment times are shorter with less discomfort, and better results can be achieved.

Traditional orthodontic appliances consist of brackets and wires.

The brackets today come in a variety of sizes and shapes for optimal efficiency and are increasingly tooth colored.

They can even be custom made for each patient with computer technology to shorten treatment time.

However, it is the orthodontic wire that actually moves the teeth and

where we find the most incredible advancements.

The heat activated super elastic memory wire is very flexible at room temperature and can be placed into the braces on extremely crooked teeth.

JORDAN Then, as it warms in the mouth to body temperature, the wire exerts a light continuous force on the teeth. It is this light continuous force that moves the teeth most efficiently but below the threshold of pain.

No longer does the orthodontist actually tighten the braces.

We simply change from one type of wire to the next. And yes, the wires can be tooth colored as well!

Want relief from TMJ pain or Tension Headaches?

By Dr Ushma Patel From Center for Advanced Dentistry Botox is Now Available in our dental office for TMJ Pain, Headaches.

You may not have heard about Botox therapy for head, neck, and/ or facial pain. The same effect of Botox that reduces the appearance of wrinkles (relaxing muscles) is used to reduce the intensity of muscle contractions. Intense and/or prolonged muscle contractions of our muscles used for chewing can cause pain and damage to our teeth. Pain can be in the contracted muscle or can be referred to a distant site. Severe clenching and grinding of the teeth can cause the teeth to chip, break, or even need root canal treatments.

How Does BOTOX® Treat Jaw Tension and TMJ Disorder?

Botox is injected into the masseter muscles of the jaw to treat TMJ, an inflammation of the TMJ joint in the jaw.

Located on both sides of the head at the point where the jawbone meets the skull, the temporo-mandibular joint (TMJ) is used during talking, eating, swallowing, and other everyday activities. If this joint becomes displaced or is overworked through excessive teeth grinding, a person may suffer severe tension headaches, as well as sharp pain in the jaw. BOTOX® relieves jaw tension by making muscles unable to engage in the powerful, often unconscious

movement of the jaw that produces headaches and pain.

The BOTOX® alternative treatment for TMJ disorders and jaw tension is usually quick, straightforward, and effective. A non-surgical procedure, BOTOX® injections are administered in a doctor’s office and treatment requires no hospital stay. Most patients experience noticeable improvement within one or two days of their first treatment, although relief can take up to a week.

Botox For Neck Pain, Migraine and Tension Headaches?

Recently, Botox has become a tool to help relieve migraine headaches and associated neck muscle pain.

It has proven to be very effective in pain relief from muscle sources. It is important to distinguish the source of pain since Botox works on muscles.

This mechanism is why Botox reduces wrinkles!

Botox can be used in differentiation of pain source. If it does not give some relief, the source of pain is probably not the muscles. Many patients seeking Botox treatment for wrinkle reduction report elimination or reduction of migraine headaches as an added bonus Please call 770-623-8750 now to schedule your complimentary no obligation consultation appointment to find out more and see if this is right for you. First 5 to schedule and get the Treatment will get a $50 Visa Gift Card.

Soccer playoffs move to final four Milton, Hooch boys and Fellowship girls move on

By JOE PARKER news@appenmediagroup.com NORTH FULTON, Ga. — The third round of the state soccer playoffs took place last weekend, proving to be the end of the road for some local schools while others moved on to continue their drives for state championship titles.

The boys games took place last Friday, with the girls playing on Saturday.

Boys Etowah 0, Chattahoochee 2: The Cougars continued their unbeaten streak with a 2-0 win over Etowah, securing their first trip to the Final Four since they captured the Class 4A state championship in 2011.

The Cougars received two corner kick goals from Jackson Siegel and Shane Burke as their defense and goalkeeper Jack Corrigan posted a shutout for the third straight playoff game. Hooch will take on Parkview in the semifinals.

Milton 1, Lakeside 0: Milton handed the previously undefeated and Region 2-AAAAAA champions Lakeside their first loss of the season Friday while securing their first trip to the Final Four since 2010. The Eagles took the lead in the first half and kept Lakeside off the scoreboard for the remainder of the game to clinch the win. Milton will play Brookwood in the semifinals.

Alpharetta 2, Parkview 3: The Raiders broke the hearts of Mill Creek in the first round, scoring three goals in the final 12 minutes to keep their season alive.

Against Parkview though, it was a late goal that broke the hearts of the Raiders. Alpharetta led 2-1 when a foul in the box gave Parkview a penalty kick with just 1.3 seconds remaining, which they converted to tie the game.

The Panthers then scored the game-winning goal in the second overtime to deny Alpharetta what would have been their second Final Four appearance.

Cambridge 0, Northgate 1: In a defensive battle, Cambridge fell to Northgate 1-0. The game remained scoreless through regulation and two overtime periods, bringing the game to

West will take on Harrison in the semifinals. the penalty shootout. Northgate’s Cooper Morris would make the lone save of the shootout, earning Northgate the 5-4 advantage in the shootout and ending the Bears’ season.

Blessed Trinity 3, East Hall 4: The Blessed Trinity Titans found themselves down 3-0 in the first half, and though they were able to muster a comeback, it was not enough to keep their season alive. The Titans scored three goals in the second half, but East Hall also scored midway through the second, which proved to be enough for their win.

Landmark Christian 3, Fellowship Christian 5: Fellowship players continued their impressive offensive performance this season by scoring five goals on Landmark Christian, their eighth straight game scoring four or more goals. FCS earned their second straight final four berth with the win and will take on St. Anne-Pacelli in the semifinals.

Girls Walton 1, West Forsyth 3: After winning their first region championship and making their first playoff appearance since 2010, the Lady Wolverines are headed to the Final Four after beating Walton 3-1. Carsen Parker and Kylie Gazza scored for West in the win. West will take on Harrison

FCFD recognizes and promotes personnel, graduates recruit class 18 recruits graduate to become firefighters FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. — In a ceremony April 29, the Forsyth County Fire Department presented a number of awards, promoted nine personnel and graduated its newest recruit class.

Family, friends and Fire Department staff attended the ceremony, which was held in the auditorium at North Forsyth High School.

Awards were presented to personnel in the first portion of the ceremony.

“Periodically, the Forsyth County Fire Department reviews incidents of significance that have been nominated for particular acts of heroism or actions that result in a life saved,” said Division Chief Jason Shivers, who served as emcee for the ceremony. “Additionally, specific incidents that result in decisive and extraordinary efforts by a company are reviewed for Unit Citation Awards.”

Seven Unit Citation awards and 10 Life Saved awards were presented to Fire Department personnel in recognition of outstanding actions over the past several years. Some of the Life Saved awards were presented to the firefighters by the individuals whose life they saved.

In the promotional portion of the event, the following members of the department were formally promoted to new positions: • Fire Lieutenant Justin Lee Suggs was promoted to the rank of battalion chief.

• Firefighter/EMTs Patrick Doss Anderson, Joshua Lloyd Brown, William Matthew Burtle, Brian Patrick DeStefano, Jonathan Michael McPherson were promoted to the rank of fire lieutenant.

In the graduation portion of the ceremony, 18 recruits were officially welcomed as Forsyth County firefighters.

During the EMT school portion of their recruit program, each recruit completed 560 hours of EMT classroom instruction and 112 hours of clinical instruction. This training culminated in them being certified as nationally registered EMTs.

after an altercation.

A man called the Forsyth County Sheriff’s Office after his car was rear ended by a Kia Optima, who reportedly then tried to run over the man’s wife when he ran from the scene.

The husband said the Kia motorist was driving aggressively. When the two were on the exit ramp from Ga. 400, he noticed the Kia behind him and slowly moving towards his car.

He thought the Kia was trying to intimidate him by getting closer, but then the Kia reportedly bumped into the rear end of the car.

He got out of his car to talk to the Kia driver but said the man was

ignoring him. The Kia driver eventually rolled his window down and denied hitting the man’s car. The man said he was going to call police and the Kia driver reportedly fled the scene. The man said the Kia driver attempted to run over his wife and then ran the red light at the intersection and left.

The wife confirmed her husband’s story and said she was in fear for her safety.

Two witnesses at the scene also said they thought the Kia driver was trying to run over the wife.

A license plate number was taken for the Kia, but no suspect has been found.

Soccer: Continued from Page 26 in the semifinals.

Northgate 2, Forsyth Central 1: It was a thrilling final few minutes for Forsyth Central and Northgate, but it would prove devastating to the Bulldogs. With the game tied at 1-1 in the final minutes, the Bulldogs were awarded a penalty kick but were unable to convert.

Then, in the final minute of the game, a Northgate corner kick led to a goal, which gave Northgate the 2-1 lead and eventual win.

McIntosh 1, Cambridge 0:

McIntosh’s lone goal in the first half would be enough to secure the win in a defensive struggle between the Lady Bears and the Chiefs. The Lady Bears’ appearance in the Elite Eight was their deepest playoff run in program history.

Peach County 0, Blessed Trinity 4: Blessed Trinity scored three first-half goals and were able to cruise to a 4-0 shutout over Peach County in the third round. With a win this week, the Titans will make their fifth straight appearance in the state championship game, but will be seeking their first title since 2011. Decatur beat BT 1-0 on penalty kicks on March 11.

Stratford Academy 5, Mount Pisgah 1: Stratford proved too much for Mount Pisgah, ending the Patriots’ season with a 5-1 win last week.

Mount Pisgah, which was just able to earn a playoff berth, knocked off Mount Paran and Lakeview Academy after missing out on the playoffs last season.

Eagle’s Landing Christian Academy 2, Fellowship Christian 6: Fellowship Christian, the defending girls Class A state champions, was able to continue its run for a repeat alive after dominating ECLA. The Paladins have not lost since their opening game of the season and have outscored their opponents 95-8 in that span.

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.

Will report directly to the President and Chairperson, with weekly meetings to go over call reports and identify prospects.

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.
