By HATCHER HURD hatcher@northfulton.com JOHNS CREEK, Ga. – “Not now.” That was 6th District U.S. Rep. Tom Price’s terse answer to whether his name should be considered for House majority leader. Price was speaking about the surprising primary defeat of Eric Cantor at the June 14 North Fulton County Republican breakfast.
Following House Majority Leader Cantor’s stunning upset in his Virginia primary, Price’s name was among those mentioned as a possible replacement for Cantor. A number of GOP positions could change as a result of Cantor’s departure from the Washington stage. Cantor was also the frontrunner to take over the speaker’s job from House Speaker John Boehner, who is expected to retire in the next couple of years. That leaves a void for the majority leader spot (al-

$87M Alpharetta budget remains flat Second reading of budget approved; millage rate at 5.750 By KATHLEEN STURGEON news@northfulton.com ALPHARETTA, Ga. — With property values going up, members of the Alpharetta Council are concerned about why the tax digest is decreasing. At the City Council meeting on June 16, Councilman Mike Kennedy questioned the inconsistency. “To have three-fourths of a billion dollars [spent on] new construction, but our digest is flat for seven to eight years, something doesn’t seem to be square,” said Kennedy. David Fitzgibbon, Fulton County chief appraiser, said
during a presentation that it is hard to keep up with the changing county property values. “We have seen changes in the market,” said Fitzgibbon. “We do not have the resources to go out and evaluate all those properties.” One of the major discrepancies in Alpharetta is that the city has seen $800 million in new construction since 2007, but the tax digest from 20072013 has been flat. The meeting revisited the topic of the fiscal year 2014 budget ordinance for a second reading. The $86.9 million budget commences on July 1 and runs through June 30,
2015. The vote for the budget ordinance was unanimously approved. On second reading, council unanimously voted to keep the millage rate at 5.750. The council also discussed the City Center outparcel request for proposals. Councilman Chris Owens said the teams picked out for this are eager to start working. “We got the right amount of interest,” said Owens. “We are encouraging creativity and giving lots of latitude.” A selection team will approve the designs, and then final approval will come from the council. The teams will have
two months to put together recommendation packages. ALSO AT THE MEETING: City Center update and workshop: City Administrator Bob Regus gave an update. Trees are being planted and drywall is being installed. There were questions from the council about additional change orders potentially adding to the cost of the project. Haynes Bridge Road medical office building: The previous buffer of 50 feet was removed. The council and residents discussed the possibility of a residentially zoned property and parking variance in order to construct a medical office.

Sen. Brandon Beach named GAB Legislator of the Year ATLANTA — Sen. Brandon Beach (R-Alpharetta) received the Legislator of the Year award from the Georgia Association of Broadcasters on Friday, June 6, in Atlanta. “I was honored to sponsor the Georgia First Informer Broadcasters Act this legislative session,” Beach said. “This bill facilitates resources by recognizing the dangerous work our local broadcasters take on during emergency situ-
ations while in the field. I am thankful for this recognition from the Georgia Association of Broadcasters and look forward to continuing to BEACH nurture this relationship with their prestigious organization.” Beach was recognized for
his sponsorship of Senate Bill 381, known as the Georgia First Informer Broadcasters Act, which was signed into law in April. S.B. 381 will advise the unified incident command system and the Georgia Emergency Operations Plan (GEOP) to establish planning for first informer broadcasters while also granting more access to fuel, food, water and other materials necessary for maintain-
ing a broadcast signal by July 1, 2016. “Sen. Beach’s efforts on behalf of Georgia’s broadcasters directly led to the passage of this bill, which ensures Georgia’s radio and television stations will remain crucial providers of information during times of emergency,” said GAB President Bob Houghton.

County to build public safety antenna on Old Medlock Bridge City opts for one taller tower over two smaller ones By HATCHER HURD hatcher@northfulton.com JOHNS CREEK, Ga. – Johns Creek is going ahead with plans to build a 400foot public safety radio antenna tower on property BODKER at 9855 Old Medlock Bridge Road, which is near the old Warsaw Elementary School and is described as a commercial area. The antenna is part of the new countywide public safety radio net for police, fire and emergency personnel, now that the county’s current system is at “end of life” and must be replaced. The other cities of Roswell, Alpharetta, Sandy Springs, Milton and Mountain Park have opted to build a separate radio net that will “talk” to the countywide system.

The $508,328 cost of the antenna will be paid by Fulton County but reimbursed by the city. Johns Creek will then own the tower and may derive revenue from leasing space on the tower to communications companies.

two 200-foot towers in other locations in the city. “I think we impact the city less with one tower. I’m told we could reduce the height to 200 feet, but then we would need an additional one, possibly two towers throughout the city,” said Bodker. “This new tower will ensure that the voice needs of our police officers, EMTs and firefighters will have immediate radio contact. This tower will give us that,” he said. The Fulton School Board also has concerns that school police officers should be able
to have radio signals that penetrate school walls in all locations. This tower should ensure that. The city and county have entered into an intergovernmental agreement to complete the project to assure the safety of the citizens and the reliable dispatch of first responders in emergencies. Using the Motorola system will also ensure Johns Creek and its mutual aid partners in Forsyth, Fulton, DeKalb and Gwinnett counties will have unimpeded and direct radio contact.

Fulton Board of Assessors mailing assessment notices Appeals have deadline of July 21, but most assessments unchanged ATLANTA – The Fulton County Board of Assessors mailed June 6 annual notices of assessment to 334,000 property owners. If property owners disagree with the current year value on the notice, they have until July 21, 2014, to file an appeal. While the Board of Assessors encourages owners to appeal the value if it is not representative of fair market value, they also ask that some reason or information be furnished with the appeal to help speed up the review and correct any incorrect data that may have led to the value calculation shown on the notice. Although some property will experience a change in value for the 2014 tax digest, there was not a countywide revaluation and most owners will see no change in the value from 2013. If an owner does not agree with the value on the notice and wishes to file an appeal, they are encouraged to use online filing by visiting the website at www.fultonassessor.org. Online filing will expedite receipt and processing of appeals as well as confirm that the appeal was received. Appellants will receive a confirmation number that will verify the appeal was
Tax Appeals Criteria David Fitzgibbon, chief appraiser for Fulton County, offers a final reminder to citizens that the only legal reasons for appeal under Georgia law are: 1. Value, uniformity and denial of exemption. 2. Percentage or amount of increase is not a valid reason. 3. Amount of taxes, or increase in tax rates is not appealable. 4. Information regarding the assessment notices and the appeal process can be found by visiting the Assessors’ website at www. fultonassessor.org or by contacting the office at 404612-6440.

Property owners are also encouraged to use the Online Appeals Resolution Center, which will allow the tracking of the appeal as well as the ability to send documents, pictures and other data as well as make an offer of settlement on the value.

The annual Roswell July 4 fireworks display will be held this year at Sweet Apple Elementary School instead of Roswell High School.
Roswell fireworks to move July 4 at Sweet Apple ES By JADE RODGERS jade@northfulton.com ROSWELL, Ga. – This year marks the 15th annual Fireworks Extravaganza held in Roswell. For many years, citizens from Roswell and beyond have gathered at Roswell High School to celebrate Independence Day in style. This year, however, calls for a change in venue. Roswell High School will undergo renovation this summer. As a result, the July
4 Fireworks Extravaganza will take place at Sweet Apple Elementary School. This relocation requires a good deal of preparation. More than 30,000 people attended last year’s celebration, and the Roswell Recreation and Parks Department must find a way to accommodate them with this new location. The Recreation and Parks Department is in the process of notifying businesses and residents near Sweet Apple about the upcoming fireworks celebration. The city is not planning to have any entertainment prior to the fireworks display, but
is discussing the possibility of having food trucks at the event. “Sweet Apple is a great location and we are really looking forward to seeing everyone come out for the fireworks this year,” said Morgan Rodgers, assistant director of the Roswell Recreation and Parks Department. The fireworks will begin around 9:30 p.m., or when darkness falls. All questions concerning the event can be addressed at 770-641-3705.

Operation Oreo sends snacks to soldiers ALPHARETTA, Ga. – Nothing reminds soldiers of home more than some comfort foods from home. By June 29, Alpharetta First United Methodist Church (AFUMC) hopes to collect two tons of Oreo cookies. The annual cookie drive, known as Operation Oreo, provides service members with a taste of home as a show of appreciation for the armed forces. The drive concludes June 29 with Patriotic Sunday worship services. The Oreos will be sent to military chaplains in Afghanistan and distributed to service members stationed at forward operating bases Fentry and Gamberi, and at Shindand, Kandahar and Bagram air bases. Operation Oreo began in 2009 with a chance encounter between the Rev. Don Martin, senior pastor, and a young soldier aboard a plane, returning from duty in Iraq. When Martin asked him what he missed most while away, the young man replied, without hesitation, “Oreos, Double Stuf!” Every summer since then, AFUMC has collected and shipped packages of Oreos to servicemen and servicewomen overseas. With support from community organizations such as the Lions Club and Boy Scouts, the cookie drive has been an important ministry of the church. —Shannon Weaver

CELEBRITY SIGHTINGS »
Richard Lewis at Mojo Vinyl By JONATHAN COPSEY jonathan@northfulton.com ROSWELL, Ga. – Comedian Richard Lewis paid a visit to Canton Street June 11 at Mojo Vinyl records. Lewis was in town to play at the Punchline Comedy Club in Atlanta June 12-15. While in Atlanta, he stopped in Mojo to visit friends – both living and plastic. “I’m supporting the glory days of vinyl,” Lewis said. “Rock and roll was like a mantra for me.” Lewis has performed comedy around the world and acted in such shows as “Curb Your Enthusiasm.” In an unusual move for a record store, Lewis and Mojo Vinyl owner Rand Cabus got to talking about records. “Back when we were growing up, that music was just what we listened to,” said Cabus. “We didn’t know it would

become classics.” “You hear it better. The sound is different,” Lewis said. “It’s the way music has always been. This was how people first heard music. It skipped a few generations, but now it’s new to the kids.” Cabus agreed. “Records have a tactile feel to them listeners cannot get with a digital download,” he said. Mojo Vinyl recently moved into its location on Webb Street, and Cabus said the location change has done wonders to his business of bringing music to the masses. “We had 80 people waiting in line for Record Store Day,” he said, referring to one day a year dedicated to new music released on vinyl. Mojo Vinyl is located at 26 Webb St., No. 2 in Roswell. Online they can be found at www.mojovinylrecords.com.

Police, firefighters honored with awards Kiwanis holds ceremony
Roswell firefighters and police officers were honored June 5 at the meeting of the Kiwanis Club of Historic Roswell
By JONATHAN COPSEY jonathan@northfulton.com ROSWELL, Ga. – For all the effort police officers and firefighters put into their jobs, they only get so much credit back. To rectify this, the Kiwanis Club of Historic Roswell hosts an annual awards ceremony for the best of Roswell’s finest. This year, they honored nine public safety employees, four firefighters and five police officers on June 5. “We have done the Teacher of the Year award for several years, and we felt like we have to recognize these people,” said Ron Jackson, with the Kiwanis Club. Roswell Mayor Jere Wood said he was proud of his city’s safety workers. “We recruit the best in the police department, and the fire department gets its pick of the best,” Wood said. “When you rise to the top in either the police or fire department, you are at the top of your profession.” The Roswell Fire Department is largely made up of volunteer firefighters. Many of them are full-time firefighters with other departments. Handing out the awards for the firefighters was Fire Chief Ricky Spencer. “It says a lot when people take their space time and give it to the city of Roswell,” said Spencer. “It’s in their blood. When they bleed, they bleed fire truck-red blood.” Roswell Police Chief Rusty Grant

gave out the awards to his officers. “We are trying to decide who is the best of the best,” Grant said. Awards were given out for Police Officer and Firefighter of the Year, as well as special recognitions. Those receiving the awards are chosen by their departments. Kiwanis then hosts the award ceremony. As a special honor, Spencer was recognized for his decades of service ahead of his impending retirement.

Atlanta’s Civil Rights history remembered New museum honors civil, human rights By JONATHAN COPSEY jonathan@northfulton.com ATLANTA – Atlanta is a city known for its civil rights history. As the home of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and one of the epicenters of the civil rights movement in the 1960s, Atlanta dealt with much of the causes and results of the demonstrations. It is with all this in mind that the city is now home to the Center for Civil and Human Rights, which opens June 23. In a light brown modern structure, the museum sits squarely in the heart of Centennial Olympic Park, between the World of Coca-Cola and the Georgia Aquarium. When visitors enter the center, they are greeted by a mural of protest posters from around the world, highlighting that the fight for basic human rights is a global issue and continues to this day. The center holds two large exhibits – a track dedicated to King and the civil rights movements of the 1960s, and a track on human rights, international crimes and commercial enslavement. The center houses a collection of items from the Morehouse College Martin Luther King Jr. Collection, featuring artifacts from his personal libraries. A wall is dedicated to a scrolling digital marquee saying, “I have a dream” in dozens of languages. The origins of that dream began in the 1940s and ‘50s, when segregation in America was deeply entrenched. “We were doing the same things, just not doing them together,” said Beth Haynes,
development manager for the center. American society was divided between white and “colored.” Yet everyone loved dancing, attended school, movies, played sports and rode buses. The similarities were obvious, but – especially on buses – the differences could be stark. Separate did not mean equal. A wall nearby displays Jim Crow laws by state. In Georgia, it was illegal to marry between races and school textbooks had to be kept separate, divided by race. From these beginnings, the exhibit turns gloomy, heading into the heart of the civil rights era, the speeches, the hope and the divisiveness. In November 1964, Atlanta wanted to host a celebratory dinner for King after he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. Unfortunately, many of the white business owners and movers and shakers in the city did not want to take part. Under pressure from Atlanta mayor and the president of Coca-Cola, more than 1,500 people showed up to the dinner. This passive-aggressive stance from whites is contrasted with outright violence, found in footage from the Birmingham riots, which is itself contrasted with the peaceful and exciting Million Man March in Washington, D.C. All this culminates in the desegregation of America. As President Lyndon Baines Johnson said, “There is no negro problem. There is no southern problem. There is no northern problem. There is only an American problem.”
Members of the Roswell Rotary Club took a behind-the-scenes tour of the new Center for Civil and Human Rights in Atlanta. From left they are Sanvia Johnson, Kym L Mwansa, Cokkie Eaker, Roger Wise, Jr. and Dave McCleary, with Center for Civil and Human Rights Development Manager Beth Haynes. The civil rights component of the museum ends with the assassination of MLK. But the lessons from the American civil rights era translate well into the wider world and the push for human rights. Established in 2007, the center’s 43,000-square-foot facility is located on Pemberton Place, adjacent to the World of Coca-Cola and the Georgia Aquarium, on land donated by the Coca-Cola Company. It opens to the public June 23. The Center for Civil and Human Rights is located at 100 Ivan Allen Jr. Boulevard, Atlanta, and can be found online at www.civilandhumanrights.org.

Boston and 38 Special rock Verizon Wicked awesome Saturday night By JEMILLE WILLIAMS news@northfulton.com ALPHARETTA, Ga. — The Summer Series at Verizon continued Saturday, June 14 with a double bill of groups that put the boom in Boomer Rock. They cranked it up to arena rock volume and the canopy was vibrating like the skin on the bass drum on stage. The sharpshooters of 38 Special fired their first volley of “Rockin’ into the Night” and kept good on that promise through a 15-song hit catalog. The “Wild-Eyed Southern Boys” frontman Don Barnes opined that there seemed to be some wild-eyed Southern boys in the house tonight, and it looked like there were some pretty wild-eyed girls as well. Several good whoops confirmed it, and they played their theme song. They brought it down a little with the anthem of all guys who get caught getting a little extracurricular: “Second Chance.” After only 10 songs, they performed the little de rigueur charade of walking off the stage, but of course, the crowd
was clinging too tightly to hearing their No.1 hits. They came back out and Barnes (the sole original member) said, “We were halfway to the hotel. Was there something we left out?” Hoots of “Hold on Loosely” and “Caught Up in You” apparently met their mark. After “Fantasy Girl,” he posed the rhetorical question, “Just like it was yesterday, right?” They wrapped up with that anthem of all touring acts: Creedence Clearwater’s “Travelin’ Band.” Looks like they have at least another decade in them to keep on keepin’ on. Boston working toward Heaven on Earth Boston launched into a spacetastic start with an interstellar set that looks like the flight deck of a space shuttle. The three windshield-shaped screens projected a nearly endless program of zooming through canyons and crosscountry around the globe until we shook Earth’s surly bonds and headed for Mars. Watch out for that asteroid belt! Behind the drum kit, was the hugest gong I’d ever seen with the Boston logo of guitar that looks like a UFO with the skyline of Boston aboard. It has graced the cover of
every album they’ve released with minor modifications. Oh, yes, the music! They commenced, appropriately, with “Rock and Roll Band” and they played, played, played — almost two dozen songs for fans. These wunderkinds had their debut album stay on the charts for 132 weeks — selling 17 million units. Founder and sole survivor of the original group, Renaissance man Tom Scholz, wrote his first song, “Foreplay” while attending MIT. It all makes sense – he was probably a kid who always wanted to be an astronaut, but decided to settle for rock star. His engineering background enabled him to invent the Rockman guitar amplifier, and while he swears he has never utilized a synthesizer, he’s tricked out his organ to make sounds that could be heard in space if sounds could be heard in space. Well known for his philanthropy, Scholz signed an Epiphone guitar to be given away at the show. For $10, not only did you get a chance at the guitar, but walked away with a Boston’s Greatest Hits CD.

Ken Davis takes over as GNFCC chairman Renasant Georgia president used to leadership roles By HATCHER HURD hatcher@northfulton.com ALPHARETTA, Ga. – Ken Davis, Georgia President for Renasant Bank, has taken on the role of Greater North Fulton Chamber of Commerce’s chairman of the board. It is a role he slips into easily as it a role he has played many times before when called upon. Just Davis’ current resume shows he has served three years as chairman of the board for the Roswell Convention and Visitors Bureau which oversees both tourism and economic development for that city. He has served on numerous boards where he lends his expertise, ideas and most importantly, his time. Now as chamber board chairman, he sees his first task as keeping ongoing chamber initiatives on track. “Some things we are doing, we want to continue doing such as education, workforce development, healthcare and technology,” Davis said. Education and workforce development are almost joined at the hip. There are already a number of colleges and technical schools offering classes in North Fulton such as DeVry University, Reinhardt University, Georgia State University’s campus on Ga. 400 and Emory
University’s continuing education program. Then there is the $25 million footprint Gwinnett Technical is putting down on Milton Parkway in Alpharetta. “These are all great assets to help drive economic development here in North Fulton. If we can provide the trained workforce for the growing tech industry, the healthcare industry, the more it will benefit all businesses here,” Davis said. “There are a lot of energies and synergies at work here, and it is our job to help coordinate them to build our economy.” Another part of the chamber’s job is to get the word out about all the good things going on in this community. “We have a story to tell both locally and regionally, and now it needs to continue to the Southeast. And while we continue to make ourselves attractive to the relocation market, we must increase our efforts to retain existing businesses,” he said. “That may not make the big headlines, but when a business has the opportunity to look around but decides to stay, that is a huge economic win as well.” North Fulton Chairman Chamber Chairman Brandon Beach said he is ecstatic to have Davis take over the chairman’s gavel for 2014-15. “He has been on our board, he knows the job, he knows the community and he knows how to get things done,” Beach said. “More than that, he has

There are not many people we need to know that he can’t call up on the phone. “He is very involved in the community. With his contacts and visibility in the community, we as an organization are lucky to have him.” One area the North Fulton business community has to do better is branding the region the way other regions have. He points to Silicon Valley for technology in California and the Research Triangle in Raleigh-Durham area as examples. “That can gather synergy from existing businesses to
bring similar or ancillary businesses to North Fulton. As you gain strength, you build on that strength,” Davis said. “So it is a matter of developing a brand for all North Fulton. And there are a lot of success stories to tell – quality schools here, technical companies, corporate relocations, excellent parks and recreation – the list is endless.” There are challenges that must be met also. Transportation is a sore spot, but as Davis points out: “It’s a nice problem to have. It means people want to be here.” Long-term, North Fulton wants to recruit a 4-year col-
lege to bring its campus here, Davis said. Throw in MARTA expansion, too, he said. “Another challenge is affordable housing that will serve our workforce. One way to eliminate a long commute is to live where you work,” he said. “And you have to remember, the emerging demographic for younger workers, show they don’t want a ‘five-four-and-adoor. [Five windows upstairs and four windows downstairs, i.e. the standard single-family home]. “They want a lifestyle that does not include a picket fence. These are the realities we have to prepare for,” Davis said.

North Fulton home sales: Breaking down pric Being accountable ROBERT to yourself STRADER DICK JONES
Founder & President Jones Simply Sales
As the owner of a small business, are you holding yourself accountable? Do you look in the mirror every morning and think you have no boss? Well, think again! As a small business owner, being accountable to yourself is one of the keys to success. You may have started your business career reporting to a manager, but now your manager is yourself. Being accountable to yourself will help you be successful. Personal accountability as a small business owner is critical to achieving your business goals and growing your small business.
As a small business owner, being accountable to yourself is one of the keys to success. Accountability is normally viewed as being responsible for your actions. When you take responsibility for your actions, you are holding yourself accountable. One of the traits of being accountable is not taking advantage of your position as a business owner. Showing up late, leaving early, delegating your work to your employees and not pitching in when you need to are all signs that you aren’t holding yourself accountable. Conversely, setting the tone for your employees by doing your fair share of the work…and more, will ensure that you are keeping yourself accountable for your small business success. I am convinced the only way to advance yourself personally and professionally is to hold yourself accountable for everything you do. Whether it’s in the workplace, after hours or what you do on your free time, being accountable to yourself will increase the odds that you will be successful.
Anyone who has been following the real estate market in our area knows that inventories have tightened. There are fewer homes available, in general, which is why prices have been rising. For most sellers, it is a seller’s market. Six months of inventory denotes a healthy market, not a buyer’s market or a seller’s market. But we know that inventory levels will vary by location and by price point. As you would expect, there are different inventory levels and
Local Realtor Keller Williams Realty
activity levels at various price points. I have broken that down here for North Fulton County. It’s not a big surprise to see that lower-priced homes tend to move faster and there-
fore have fewer inventory. With less than two months of inventory — if you are looking for a home in North Fulton and you need to be under $200,000, then you’ll have to choose wisely, but also quickly. In fact, anything under $500,000, there’s less than six months of inventory. By all measures, this is a seller’s market. From $500K$700K, the market is more balanced. Buyers have homes to choose from and time to find what they like, but homes
tend to sell at a reasonable pace. It’s a bit slower in the $700K - $900K range, but for homes over $900K, things are still slow. Sellers need their homes to be marketed well and those homes need to be very attractive to the limited buyer pool. Another point a buyer should consider; these numbers are for all homes in that price range. Most buyers have additional qualifiers such as a home being located in a swim/tennis community, a specific school

Alpharetta-based commercial real estate brokers Brian Patton of Capital Realty Advisors and Josh Barnes of Orkin & Associates pooled their efforts to represent the landlord on an 18,000-square-foot automobile showroom and service center for Tesla Motors. This location will mark their first full-service dealership in Georgia. The long-term lease deal will be in Decatur, the county seat of DeKalb County. Tesla is on a growth spurt, with its stock up double over the last 12 trailing months. “We see a lot of potential in the Decatur market, and that’s why the landlord has decided to hold onto the property in the form of a leasehold,” said Patton. Barnes said the landlord is encouraged to see such a strong tenant showing interest in the area. “We like to buy and hold strategic investments,” said Barnes. “That’s why we are bullish on this market and this property.” Sarah Williams of SRS Real Estate Partners also collaborated on the deal by representing Tesla. Tesla plans to open more automotive dealerships in the near future, taking advantage of the growing electric car market.
Gas prices continue to dip ATLANTA — In the past couple of weeks, motorists in the Southeast have seen gasoline prices going through slow and steady declines, according to AAA’s Auto Club Group. The average price for a gallon of regular unleaded fuel fell one cent in Tennessee, two cents in Florida and three cents in Georgia at press time. “Gas prices in the Southeast are falling at about the same rate as they did during June 2013,” said Mark Jenkins, spokesman for AAA Auto Club Group. “However, the discount at the pump could end anytime.

Proper tire inflation By RICK HUNTER VP Sales & Operations Wood & Fullerton woodfullerton.com You can’t tell if tires are properly inflated just by looking at them. Even though they may look fine, they may be significantly underinflated. Maintaining the correct air pressure in your tires helps your car handle and stop properly as well as saving you money on fuel. Most people don’t think about their tires until something goes wrong. However; tires lose pressure over time. That’s why it is critical to check your tire pressure regularly. Keep in mind that some vehicles specify different pressures for the front and rear tires. Also, don’t forget to check your spare; you never know when you might need it. What is the correct pres-
sure? One of the places to look is in your owner’s manual. Correct pressure for most cars will also be listed on the tire placard on HUNTER the door edge or door post. Some cars may also have this information on the fuel door or glove box. When you check the inflation pressure, make sure the tires are cold – meaning that they have not been driven on for several hours. If you have to drive to get inflation, check and record the pressure first and add the appropriate pressure when you get to the pump. Please keep in mind that the tire pressure listed on the side of the tire is the maximum pressure for that tire, not the correct pressure for your car.
If one or more of your tires are significantly underinflated, you should have the tire inspected to determine and repair the cause of the leak. For your convenience, any of the Wood & Fullerton Goodyear Locations will check your tire pressure for free. It should only take a couple of minutes and give you one less thing to worry about.

Drake House Executive Director Kathy Swahn, left, and Speaker Shelby Jackson Models take a bow after strutting their stuff on the catwalk. enjoy the show.
Catwalk: Continued from Page 1 The Drake House is a crisis assessment center that provides emergency housing for homeless women and their children who live in the North Fulton area. The organization helps mothers and children recover from their situations by giving the families the resources to get back on their feet and find a job and self-sufficient housing while keeping them together. The Drake Closet is a local clothing boutique that is an offshoot of the Drake House. The Closet allows people to donate gently used and new clothing for Drake House residents. The Drake Closet is really two boutiques, one in Roswell and Alpharetta, which are stocked with current fashions. All proceeds go to the Drake House. Events like the fashion show create exposure for the
organization and provide support to the homeless moms who depend on Drake House. “The evening was a great success,” said Karen Pye, Drake House director. “We sold out, and that’s wonderful.” Participants were entertained by the show’s host, Maggie Taylor of Act 3 Productions theater group in Sandy Springs. Taylor belted out her own renditions of popular songs like the Little Mermaid’s, “Part of Your World,” and Olivia Newton-John’s, “Physical.” Speakers included Karen Trylovich, Drake House Board of Directors member, and Shelby Jackson, a former Drake House resident. Jackson gave an emotional account of her experiences before, during and after her life at the Drake House. “I think it really raised awareness, not only for what the Closet is, but for what the Drake House does in terms of serving homeless women and their children,” said Pye. For more on the Drake House and its mission, visit them online at thedrakehouse. org.

Teen re-enactors recreate D-Day invasion Military buffs take a step up from paintball By HATCHER HURD hatcher@northfulton.com JOHNS CREEK, Ga. – History buff and military re-enactor Michael Steele and his buddies go the pool or the lake last weekend, they didn’t hangout. Instead they decided they would mark the 70th anniversary of D-Day by re-enacting the storming of the beaches at Normandy and push the

Nazi defenders back until the beaches were secure and their objectives taken. Of course the German side did not want that to happen, and planned a stubborn defense of the battlefield. You see, these Northview High School students are all devotees of tactical war-gaming called Airsoft. They use realistic weapons that fire soft BBs that the boys say can feel like pinch to a sting. Some of the boys are new to Airsoft and other have varying degrees of experience. But they all share the enthusiasm of the sport. Steele, who plans to be a history teacher, has been an Airsoft military gamer since he was 6 years old. That was 10 years ago. He picked up the interest from his older brother and has “inherited” some of the materiel from him. The rest he has had to buy, it doesn’t come cheap. Airsoft is competitive war gaming and is comparable to paintball the way you might compare baseball to softball. It is another level of gaming from paintball. “It is like paintball but more competitive. There is more competition and a lot more objectives. And it takes more skill,” Steele said. “The weapons are more realistic and there come in a wider variety,” he said. “It’s all about quality. You see good reviews and bad reviews. You have to do your research before you buy.” Uniforms come online or at local Army-Navy stores. Connor Neely, 14, is another youngster who started early with the help of his neighbor Steele whom he has known since he was 5. He said he got shot a lot when he was younger. “But it made me a better Airsofter today,” Neely said. A true veteran, he said he for the re-enactment he would bring along two crucial items – duct tape and Super Glue. For this special D-Day tactical operation, Steele and his compatriots have secured some startling G.I. and Wehrmacht reproductions including the American Thompson .45 caliber Thompson submachine gun – better known as the Tommy gun, and the forerunner of all modern assault weapons, the German sturmgewehr. They give the gamer a significant boost in firepower. The Tommy gun carries 200 rounds in its magazine. For their re-enactment, they have secured a 10-acre site off Old Alabama Road.
HATCHER HURD/STAFF
Steele and Kristian Barber demonstrate firing gas-operated Airsoft pistols. For added realism, the pistols when fired kick like the real ones do. Inset: These World War II American and German pistols show the accuracy of the replicas. Six of those acres belong to Kristian Barber’s family. He will command the German defenses which includes some bunkers they have created in the woods. A couple of creeks in the brush provide convenient trenches. Barber, 16, got started “just a few years ago, also introduced to Airsoft by his brother. “I got into it my freshman year. We go to special [Airsoft] fields, there are seven in Georgia,” he said. “I’ve been to all of them. There are some indoor venues also, but we prefer outdoor.” They generally go out once a month. Barber said it can be “stressful” when outdoors in
that environment where someone wants to shoot you. “But it’s a bonding experience with your team. You also learn a lot about safety. You have to treat it like a real gun,” he said. One does notice they treat their weapons with care and safety on the site. Steele and Barber they hope one day to go to Scotland or Ireland where thousands compete in complex and sophisticated simulations. They say the sport is huge there. Asked why they were reenacting D-Day, Steele said it was dedicated to those veterans who hit the beaches for real seven decades ago.
“We want to honor those men who fought for freedom at great sacrifice to themselves,” Steele said. The two teams will have 10 to 15 on the American side representing the 101st Airborne and the 59th Rangers. There were about 10 to 12 on the German side. The disparity reflects the advantage in numbers, Steele said. But the German side will have more experience which reflects the advantage the Germans had. They started at noon on Saturday, the sixth, and then camped overnight and ran to more “operations” on Sunday before coming home to a hero’s welcome.
This is one of the bunkers the boys built. Taking it will not be an easy objective.

New leaders named at five North Fulton schools Recent hires fill vacancies at all but two area schools By CANDY WAYLOCK candy@northfulton.com NORTH FULTON, Ga. – The Fulton County School System (FCSS) is moving quickly to replace school leaders who stepped down or moved on to other positions as the school year came to a close. At North Fulton schools, new principals were named at five schools with end-of-year vacancies, leaving only two schools still seeking a permanent principal before the start of classes on Aug. 11. New principals at North Fulton schools include: • Northview High – Brian Downey • Johns Creek High – Gail Johnson • Crabapple Middle – Rako Morrissey • Crabapple Crossing Elementary – Rachel Williams • Hembree Springs Elementary – Laurie Woodruff With these latest appointments, only two schools in North Fulton – Sweet Apple and Mimosa elementary schools in Roswell – remain
with interim principals. School system officials said both schools will likely have permanent principals in place by the start of school. Brian P. Downey – Northview High Downey will replace former Principal Paul Brannon who has accepted a new position out of state. Downey has been an assistant principal at Northview since 2010, and has been a mentor to aspiring principals and lead teachers in the Northeast Learning Community. He is also involved in community-based initiatives including Student Leadership Johns Creek and the Johns Creek Think Tank. Prior to coming to Fulton County Schools, Downey was the dean of students at Attleboro High School (Mass.). He has a bachelor’s degree in biology from Providence College (R.I.), and a master’s of education in educational leadership from Fitchburg State College (Mass.). Gail Johnson – Johns Creek High Johnson has 25 years of educational experience as a teacher, administrator and

Her teaching experience includes time at CrossRoads Alternative HS/MS (Cherokee), Ralph J. Bunche Middle School (Atlanta), Campbell Elementary School (Union City) and Pyne Poynt Middle School (N.J.). Johnson earned an education specialist degree and master’s degree in education from Kennesaw State University and a bachelor’s degree in English education from Temple University (Pa.). Johnson replaces former Johns Creek Principal Buck Greene, who took a position with the Atlanta School System. Rako Morrissey – Crabapple Middle School Formerly the principal at New Prospect Elementary School in Alpharetta, Morrissey replaces Nathan Buhl, who is now the principal at Milton High School. She has 10 years’ experience as a classroom teacher, two years as an area lead teacher and three years in
administration experience. In addition to her time at New Prospect, Morrissey was the principal at Pine Mountain Middle School (Marietta Schools), and was a classroom teacher in Cobb and Henry County school systems. Morrissey has doctorate, master’s and bachelor’s degrees in education from Kennesaw State University, as well as an educational specialist degree in math education from University of West Georgia. At Kennesaw State, she was an assistant professor of math for two years. Rachel Williams – Crabapple Crossing Elementary Williams comes to the Fulton County School System from the Charlotte-Mecklenburg School System (N.C.) where she had been an elementary school principal since 2011. Prior to that, she was an assistant principal in the Newton County School System and a classroom teacher in the DeKalb County School System and in South Carolina, where she was named the 2007 Teacher of the Year at her elementary school. Woodruff holds a bachelor’s degree in elementary education from Columbia College, a
master’s in educational leadership from University of West Georgia, a specialist in educational leadership from University of West Georgia and a 2013 doctorate in educational leadership from Clark Atlanta University. Laurie H. Woodruff – Hembree Springs Elementary Woodruff moves to Hembree Springs Elementary from Roswell North Elementary, where she served as the assistant principal since 2012. In that position, she assisted in the school’s progression as a Cohort One school under the new charter system, served as the testing coordinator and represented the district’s elementary schools on the Code of Conduct Revision Committee. Woodruff’s past experience includes stints at Barnwell Elementary, where she was the curriculum support teacher and math instructional coach, and as a classroom teacher at High Point Elementary (Fulton), Cleveland Elementary (Fayetteville) and Bryan County Elementary. Woodruff has a master’s degree in education from the University of West Georgia and bachelor’s degree in early childhood education from Valdosta State University.

Power vacuums at the Capitol have a short shelf-life, and Washington GOP hopefuls are lining up for other spots as well. Price has said in the past he would like to be speaker one day, hence his qualifier not “now.” But he does have an eye to move up.

who has shown himself to be one of its rising stars and spokesmen. Looking at Cantor’s surprising fall, Price said, no one saw it coming. But in retrospect, Price said there are factors that combined to lead to the six-time congressman’s fall to college professor David Brat. “I would say there are multiple reasons why he lost,” Price said. “First, I think Brat had a better ground game than he did. Brat focused in his district.” Price also pointed out that Cantor’s Virginia district had
been redrawn, and he received a new and large portion of the Richmond suburbs in the shuffle. Meanwhile, as incumbent leaders often do, Cantor spent a large portion of the run-up to the election campaigning for out-of-state Republican candidates. “A lot of the voters in the newly drawn district really didn’t know [Cantor], and at the same time as a good party man, Cantor was trying to help other candidates,” Price said. “Brat concentrated in his district, which contained his college and the newly redistricted Richmond suburbs,” Price said. “And Brat will be a good congressman. He’s young and energized.” Price said he took some lessons from Cantor’s defeat as well. “It just shows that you have to stay close to home, and make sure you are on the issues. But it’s like they say, all politics is local,” he said. Price also brought the party faithful up to date on several of the issues, which he was sad to report had changed
little. Immigration reform is at a standstill, Price said. He blamed President Barack Obama for creating the “incredible human tragedy” taking place with thousands of illegal Hispanic children now collectively being housed in military bases. He said Obama is using the children as tools for immigration amnesty rather than seeing them put in facilities on the Mexican side of the border. “Our border security is simply broken. If the president wants to do something about reform, then stop [new] crossings at the border,” Price said. “He can’t enforce the laws and we [Republicans] can’t trust him to negotiate. “Congress has solutions, but we need an honest broker on the other side.” The deteriorating situation in Iraq is another example of the president’s failed foreign policy. “While the president tries to figure out a response, the situation is going critical. I believe Iraq and Afghanistan
for all mankind. Unlike most classic rockers who are content to rest on their laurels, Scholz continues to write, and played a couple of tracks from their new album, “Life, Love and Hope.” Like most classic rockers, the group has experienced a lot of flux, most tragically the suicide of original lead singer Brad Delp. Another recurring theme is the discovery of musicians via YouTube. Scholz was so impressed with Tommy DeCarlo’s work, he was asked to sing at a
memorial for Delp, and in 2008 took leave of his job at Home Depot, and has heeded their hit, “Don’t Look Back!” Though the lead for 38 Special never took off his fancy coat, Team Boston was stripped down to T-shirts or sleeveless muscle shirts. Scholz even wore shorts, and he and Kimberly Dahme even wore sensible sneaks. They had more airpower than I’ve seen as well. Wellplaced fans cooled the jets of these stratospheric rockers.
They had an especially lovely effect on Dahme’s long blonde hair. She’s no Bass Player Barbie, though. She writes and sings her own songs as a solo artist, but joins the band to tour, rocking her Judy Jetsonesque turquoise-and-white guitar and sweetening up the harmonies. “It’s Been Such a Long Time” and by all appearances, Boston will continue to be wicked strong for a long time hence.
Congress has solutions, but we need an honest broker on the other side.” REP. TOM PRICE (R-GA.) 6ht District US Rep.
will be lost, and we will have wasted all the treasure we have poured in there,” Price said. Price also railed against the president’s decision to trade five Al Qaeda terrorists for one American soldier. He said whatever circumstances led to Bowe Bergdahl’s capture, it is wrong to negotiate with terrorists. Price called the five released as “five of the most evil men in the world.” “It puts all Americans who travel in danger,” he said. As part of solving the Veterans Administration debacle, Price said the problem is more than just scheduling appointments. “Any veteran that cannot get service should be allowed to go to the private sector immediately,” Price said. He decried the VA quota system because as a physician he says it used to ignore veterans in need.

How to make a game winning play - while sitting on the bench It’s a Sunday morning and I’m standing on a beach off 30A, with 60 – 70 friends and family waiting for the start of an impromptu church service. A service organized and presented by our “pack” of 14 year olds. Andrew Krauser moves to the center of the group to share his thoughts about God,
life, worries, and living “outside the box.” He speaks totally unscripted. Andrew has a compelling message content which translates readily to listeners of all ages. I’m not writing today though, about the content of Andrew’s message, but rather on the content of his character which is leading this young man to stand up and

share his thoughts and beliefs in front of large groups. At 6’ 4”, Andrew stands out among his rising Milton High School freshman friends. A solid athlete, Andrew e anchored the eighth grade feeder team as starting center. However, an unfortunate string of injuries and illnesses has kept him for large part of most seasons sitting on the bench. Obviously, this has been disappointing and frustrating to him. I recently spent some time with Andrew to learn more about how he has handled these setbacks and what drives him to stand up and speak so vulnerably and heartfelt in front of groups. Andrew shared, “It was 2 years ago. I went to camp for a week called Camp Highland, run by the Chapman family. During camp, Mr. Chapman gave a great speech – very motivating. He challenged us to pay more attention to the things in life about which we were passionate; to start a journal and write down our thoughts.” I asked Andrew if Mr.
Chapman’s intent of the challenge was specifically directed to faith? “No, it was anything… music, math, football, anything. He was encouraging us to increase our time and intensity on whatever we might want to pursue. For me, it was my faith. I thought it was lacking and I could do more with it. So I started a journal.” “For a while, I wrote down things I was thinking about. It might be a response to a Bible verse, or just a personal view about life. I kept it private. Then, in 7th grade I started sharing my journal with my family. That really helped me get over being self-conscious or shy about letting others know some of my deepest thoughts.” I switched gears on Andrew asking about the injuries preventing him from playing sports during this time. “Yeah, that is when I got super frustrated and worried about being forced to sit out games on the bench.” “Worried”, I asked, “What

Vaught: Continued from Page 24 were you worried about?” Andrew was quick to respond, “Gosh, everything! I was worried about getting rusty, about getting reinjured, and I worried that my teammates would get so far ahead I would never be able to catch up!” There is calmness in Andrew as he speaks about that time now and I asked him about it. “When it was happening, I thought I was handed a raw deal and I blamed God. I had some deep questions…. Is God real? Does God love me? Why is God doing this to me? I came to realize that if I truly believe in God’s will then I can’t worry or be mad about my circumstances. It saw many of my friends were also going through some hard things in life and I thought that I might be able to help them by sharing my own journey. I was already participating in the FCA at school, and in 8th grade I decided to stand up and talk. I did that all throughout the last year. Since I began speaking, I’ve had a number of classmates approach me for guidance. It has been a re-
ally satisfying and rewarding experience for me and I plan to continue to seek opportunities like this at Milton.” One other thing I wanted to know was why he speaks without any outline or notes. Andrew replied, “If I went up there with notes, I would be too concerned about delivering a perfect message. Also, I could get flustered if I got off track. For me, I just trust the words will come. It’s a leap of faith for me. Back to that morning on the beach and Andrew is finishing his talk. He had two main themes. Don’t spend time worrying – there’s a plan for you. And don’t live your life trying to stay inside of a comfortable box. For Andrew, his comfort zone was his identity as a starter on the basketball team. That bench was way outside his comfort level. But instead of fighting to get back “inside his box”, he decided to submit and open his life up to new possibilities outside of that box. It led him to a place where his satisfaction is much deeper than any 3 pointer could ever be. That’s how Andrew Krauser made a game winning play – while sitting on the bench.

Reader Advisory: The National Trade Association we belong to has purchased the following classifieds. Determining the value of their service or product is advised by this publication. In order to avoid misunderstandings, some advertisers do not offer employment but rather supply the readers with manuals, directories and other materials designed to help their clients establish mail order selling and other businesses at home. Under NO circumstance should you send any money in advance or give the client your checking, license identification or credit card numbers. Also beware of ads that claim to guarantee loans regardless of credit and note that if a credit repair company does business only over the phone it’s illegal to request any money before delivering its service. All funds are based in U.S. dollars. 800 numbers may or may not reach Canada.
