County shuts adult ‘loophole’ Law will regulate where adult novelty stores can operate By ALDO NAHED aldo@forsythherald.com FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. — In looking at the Forsyth County adult entertainment law, County Attorney Ken Jarrard said he found a loophole. “The problem is attempting to get ahead of curve on this issue,” Jarrard said. Jarrard said there’s an area in the adult entertainment law that offers new businesses “a loophole.” Adult entertainment businesses are allowed to operate in light industrial and heavy industrial zoned portions of the county, but cannot serve alcohol. “Our adult entertainment ordinance clearly speaks and regulates adult dancing, adult live entertainment, adult books, magazines, videos, etc...” But in the area of adult novelties — such as adult toys — there’s no language in the current law that captures that sort of thing. “We have been hearing some individuals are having some interest in that,” Jarrard said. Jarrard said City of Milton has some already crafted a strong opposition to adult novelty businesses and he said mimicking their law makes sense. Jarrard is also the attorney for City of Milton. “If you want to ensure that adult novelties and things of that nature are

If you want to ensure that adult novelties and things of that nature are treated similarly to other sorts of adult materials, we would probably need an ordinance change.” KRISTINA BAK

KEN JARRARD Forsyth County Attorney

The Georgia DNR is pushing for boating safety during the holidays. They want people to be aware of the dangers of boating under the influence.

DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES: treated similarly to other sorts of adult materials, we would probably need an ordinance change,” Jarrard told Board of Commissioners members at their June 24 work session. “It might be nice to have that in place now. Once an application is made, as you all know, it’s too late and they will basically be unregulated,” Jarrard said. The commissioners voted unanimously to have Jarrard bring back language similar to the City of Milton for a public hearing.

Boating intoxicated, don’t think about it By KRISTINA BAK kristina@northfulton.com FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. — The Georgia Department of Natural Resources (DNR) and law enforcement participated in the June 27-29 nationwide “Operation Dry Water.”

The operation was about enforcing and educating boaters about the dangers of boating under the influence, or BUI. Other local agencies that participated included the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary. The program put thousands

of officers on the water to give high visibility of BUI enforcement before the Fourth of July. The holiday is known for drinking and boating. The initiative focused on reducing accidents and fatalities

The intruded turned out to be a cab driver. He told deputies he has driven the man’s roommate to-and-from the home on many occasions. This time, the cab driver asked the roommate if he could use her bathroom. She let him in the house, but the male roommate did not know. The man heard someone in the bathroom and when he found out it was not his roommate, he grabbed a handgun for protection.

While on their way, deputies were told the suspect left the scene. A witness to the crash followed the suspect in her car as the suspect ran on foot south on Bethelview Road.

Irate customer slams gas pump nozzle CUMMING, Ga. — A man who was already banned from a gas station got mad when he was not allowed to pump gas there. On June 25, an employee of Granny’s Store, 4820 Dawsonville Highway, told deputies a man pupping gas had been caught shoplifting and was criminally trespassing on the property, according to a Forsyth County Sheriff’s incident report. The gas station attendant went outside to tell the man to leave, but the man yelled at him for not turning on the gas.

After the employee refused to turn on the gas, the man began slamming the pump nozzle on the concrete. The employee said he was worried the man had damaged the nozzle, so he removed the keys from the man’s ignition in hopes to keep him there until deputies arrived. Shortly after, the man fled on foot leaving his sister and the car at the gas station. Deputies later found a man walking westbound on Old Keith Bridge Road. Deputies tried to talk to him, but he fled into the woods.

The suspect made off with $2,500 of gutters and $1,000 of metal roofing for chicken houses.

Unaware parents can find out if child is using drugs Drug awareness, resource event Aug. 19 By PAIGE ROMAN paige@northfulton.com CUMMING, Ga. — For a parent, the last thing they want to admit is that their child is trying drugs and alcohol. The Forsyth County Drug Awareness Council, which was formed last year, is working to raise parents’ awareness and to educate young people to the true effects of drugs and alcohol. According to the council, four out of five children will try drugs and/or alcohol before their senior year of high school and over half will have tried an illicit drug prior to their senior year in high school. “Between January and October of 2013, there were around 27 drug overdoses with high school students in Forsyth,” said Niki Colella, executive director of Family Connection Partnership. Colella is one of the members in the drug awareness council, which is working to put together a third event for parents on Aug. 19. The drug awareness event will be held at the Lanier Tech Conference Center, 3410 Ronald Reagan Boulevard. The first drug summit was held in November and about 500 people took part. During the second drug summit, the different types of drugs and tools that children are exposed to were addressed, including a demonstration of what the drugs look like by the Forsyth County Sheriff’s Office. Mothers with drug-addicted children

ALDO NAHED/STAFF

During a Drug Awareness Summit in February, law enforcement showed parents the types of drugs and paraphernalia confiscated from drug users. and teens who have encountered drug addictions in the past, will speak at the August event. “Black Heroin tends to be the drug of choice in this area,” Colella said. “There are so many drugs around here and parents really need to be aware of them and what they can do to their children.” During the Aug. 19 event, there will also be a question-and-answers portion for parents. The Forsyth County Drug Awareness Council was created by Forsyth County Commissioner Cindy Jones Mills. The

group is tasked with educating residents on drug use in the county, promoting prevention programs and providing lists of resources for residents on what do to when they suspect a loved one is abusing drugs or alcohol. Beginning in August, a drug awareness meeting will be held on the third Wednesday of each month, Colella said. Colella said the council hopes to have a resource center soon to be used as a hotline for parents and addicts around the area. For more information, visit www.forsythcountydrugawarenesscouncil.org.

policy is still being worked out. The new gun law, which went into effect July 1, expands where Georgians AMOS may legally carry firearms, including into public schools, bars, churches and government buildings — under certain conditions. The item was first discussed at the work sessions of May 20 and again June 10 and June 24. At the June 10 meeting County Attorney Ken Jarrard made a presentation to answer questions from the previous meeting. At that meeting there was also discussion regarding the cost of providing screening at an addition $186,000 per year to cover additional law enforcement at various entrances to the Administration Building. In addition, the county is considering the purchase metal detectors and wants to make modification to the employee handbook so that employees cannot carry weapons to work.

Although this law becomes effective on July 1, Jarrard said, there is no requirement that the board take any action to implement the bill. Jarrard did suggest the county remove existing signage that states weapons are prohibited because this will not be true anymore and could be challenged. “As far as policy modifications, or hiring new individuals to screen our doors, there’s no requirement that we do any of it,” Jarrard said. On June 24, Commission Chairman Pete Amos said he was not comfortable hiring additional staff to screen everybody who enters the county Administration Building. Commissioner Jim Boff led a discussion regarding implementing a glass enclosed area similar to what exists in the reception area of the water department. “I’m suggesting that something along those lines might be cheaper than having somebody wandering,” Boff said. In the past, there was an area in the planning department that had glass, Planning

Animal shelter to open doors in August By PAIGE ROMAN paige@northfulton.com FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. — As July rolls around, the finishing touches are being made to the new Forsyth County Animal Shelter. The approximately 13,700-square-foot facility broke ground on March 20 and will replace the current shelter located at 1904 Atlanta Road and run managed by Orr Animal Hospital. The new shelter will be located on County Way off Ga.

400 in northern Forsyth County. Lance White, CEO of an Alpharettabased pet rescue group and a member of the ForPENINGER syth County Animal Control and Shelter Advisory Committee, said the new facility will open Aug.1. “We’re right on schedule for everything,” White said. “Depending on the County Com-

missioners and their schedules, the ribbon-cutting should take place at either 10 a.m. or 1 p.m. on Aug. 1.” The design of the shelter was completed by RKS Green Consulting and Shelterplanners. The general contractor for the project is CRS Building Corporation. Chris Peninger was recently hired as the shelter’s manager to supervise, coordinate and manage the daily activities of the animal shelter personnel. Peninger is an experienced animal welfare professional

with more than 20 years of training and experience in the fields of animal sheltering, community outreach and administration. There are several positions they are looking to fill before the facility opens, White said. There are seven total positions open including one veterinarian technician, four kennel technicians and two administrative staff persons. “We will also welcome volunteers to help out at the shelter,” White said. “Our goal is to have a great staff so we can eventually start fostering from our facility.” To ensure the effectiveness and efficiency of the facility, the Animal Control and Shelter Advisory Committee was formed. Other members include Chairman Dr. John McGruder, Forsyth County Commissioner Todd Levent, Dr.

Orr, Kathy Genovese, Deputy County Manager Tim Merritt and the county’s Cindy Henderson. The committee has held several meetings to discuss the plans of the facility. The committee is satisfied with the way the construction is going, White said. “I am really happy with all of the products and services that we have used and I am really eager to see the finished product,” White said. “We are all really satisfied to have a state-of-the-art animal control facility.” The next committee meeting will be held at 6:30 p.m. July 30 in the Commissioners Conference Room at the Forsyth County Administration Building.

Summer weather perfect for snakes By CAROLYN RIDDER ASPENSON carolyn@northfulton.com CUMMING, Ga. — Jamie Thayer knows more about snakes than she’d like. The lesson came when her 11-year-old Golden Retriever Jesse James was bitten by a copperhead in April and is still recovering. “Everything I’ve read says the recovery after treatment is usually only 24 hours,” Thayer said. “But Jesse is almost three months out and isn’t back to 100 percent yet.” Jesse was bit outside of Thayer’s home, located at Lake Lanier in Cumming. “It was after dark and we were standing near some ivy when he suddenly jumped twice,” she said. The dog wouldn’t put pressure on his leg and Thayer decided to take him to the veterinarian. “We ended up going to our regular vet too, who verified Jesse was bit by a Copperhead.” She said the dog appeared to be bitten twice. “Our vet said the bites looked to be from a young snake and that they release venom differently than adult snakes,” Thayer said. Dr. R.J. Itkin, internal medicine vet with All Pets Emergency & Referral Center, 6460 Atlanta Highway in Alpharetta, said young snakes can be just as dangerous as adult snakes. “Their venom may not be fully developed, but multiple bites typically release more,” Itkin said. “Certainly, all snake bites must be attended to, no matter the age of the snake.” Copperheads and water

Protect your pet from snakes • Clear away rocks and logs from your property • Keep dogs on a leash near water • Check tree beds, sidewalks and the side of the road, where snakes will lay to sun • Use pet-friendly snake repellent • Rid your yard of small animals such as chipmunks and rats

How to treat a snakebite • If you see the snake, snap a photo of it to bring to the vet Do not try to catch or kill the snake • Isolate the area bitten and keep it as still as possible • Go to the nearest vet or emergency animal clinic moccasins are the most venomous snakes in the state and bites are common from late spring to early fall. Copperheads reach about 22-36 inches and have a diamond shaped pattern on their bodies. They can be found in wooded, swampy areas, near pines and water. Water moccasins, sometimes called Cottonmouths, live near and in water and are about 20-48 inches. They have large heads and some have brown cross bands but most are black. The venom is poisonous, but Itkin said all snakebites should be looked at by a veterinarian. “Not everyone sees the snake or knows what kind it is,” he said. “Often snake bites require stitches or other

Boating: Continued from Page 1 related to BUIs. “We would rather them stay sober while boating or designate a non-drinking operator,” said Lt. Col. Jeff Weaver, DNR law enforcement division assistant director. The National Association of State Boating Law Administrators, NASBLA, in partnership with the U.S. Coast Guard launched the operation in 2009. “We want people to enjoy boating on our waterways, but we want them to do it safely,” Weaver said. So far this year, rangers have made 75 BUI arrests. In 2013, there were a total of 86 arrests related to BUI. Officers also educated boaters on the new Georgia boating law. This new boater education law requires any person born on or after Jan. 1, 1998 that operates any motorized

She said her vet didn’t recommend anti-venom treatment because of the dog’s age and possible side effects. Itkin said anti-venom treatments like Antivenin have been successful in snakebites, but all treatment options should be decided based on the dogs health and age. “If a dog is not in good

health, or has underlying health issues, certain treatments may exasperate those conditions or cause a reaction,” he said. Thayer said Jesse is an inside dog, and since the bite, she’s more careful when she’s out with him. “We stay away from ivy, and don’t walk too late at night anymore,” she said.

Woman dies in singlecar crash on Ga. 400 FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. – A 51-year-old female died Wednesday evening, July 2 after being involved in a single vehicle crash on Ga. 400 northbound near Peachtree Parkway in Forsyth County. Lynn Herman, of Flowery Branch, was pronounced dead at the scene about 7:38 p.m., according to Deputy First Class Michael Nelson, traffic specialist investigator with the Forsyth County Sheriff’s Office.

Herman was driving a 2003 Ford Explorer northbound on Ga. 400 near exit 13 (SR-141) in the inside lane when she left the roadway and over corrected, causing her vehicle to go out of control. The SUV started rolling and came to an uncontrolled rest on the side of the roadway. The cause of the crash remains under investigation by the Forsyth County Sheriff’s Office Traffic Specialist Unit.

Local Boy Scouts take adventure trip CIMARRON, N.M. — Troop 1099 has returned from a 12-day backpacking trek at Philmont Scout Ranch, the Boy Scouts of America’s largest national High Adventure Base located in New Mexico. The Troop took eight adult advisors and 15 boys including one from Troop 457. The boys said they en-

joyed over 82 miles of rugged, rocky trails and climbed several mountains, including Mt. Baldy (12, 441 feet). They participated in rock climbing, black powder rifle shooting, tree climbing, trail building and tomahawk throwing. All enjoyed a chuck wagon dinner and breakfast and had

several learning experiences about the Ranch’s history, geological and archeological features. Troop 1099 is chartered by Lanier United Methodist Church in Cumming. Troop 457 is chartered by Midway United Methodist Church in Alpharetta. –Aldo Nahed

Mentor Me mentors and mentees at the Chik-fil-A facility in south Atlanta.

Mentor Me visits Chick-fil-A home office CUMMING, Ga. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Mentors and their mentees from Forsyth County recently took a Chickfil-A home office backstage tour in south Atlanta. It is one of the many fun activities that Mentor Me sponsors throughout the year for volunteer mentors and their mentees.

Mentor Me North Georgia is a local nonprofit organization that offers mentoring programs. The guided walking tour featured the story of Chick-filA founder Truett Cathy, who opened his first restaurant, the Dwarf Grill, in Hapeville in 1946.

The group got a behindthe-scenes look at Chick-fil-Aâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s food and enjoyed fun interactions with the Chick-fil-A cows. Cathy founded the Chick-fil-A company in the 1960s and opened the first Chick-fil-A restaurant at a suburban Atlanta mall in 1967. It has now grown to be

the second largest fast-food chicken restaurant chain in the United States. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was great to see our mentees enjoy themselves,â&#x20AC;? said Karen Carroll, a Mentor Me programs manager. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Outings like this give the kids and their mentors the opportunity to have fun and build their

relationships, plus get to know each other better.â&#x20AC;? For more information about Mentor Me, or to inquire about becoming a mentor, contact Carroll at 678-341-8028, email karen@mentormenorthga.org or visit www.mentormenorthga.org. -Erica Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Neal

POINTERS FOR NEW PARENTS:

Feeling fit after having a baby (NAPSI)—The United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends that for a healthy postpartum woman, physical activity is a good thing. Doctors say moderate-intensity physical activity, such as brisk walking or bike riding, keeps your heart and lungs healthy after a pregnancy. Physical activity also helps improve your mood throughout the postpartum period. And it can help with weight loss. It’s generally best to start slowly and increase the amount you exercise gradually over time. It is recommended you get at least 12 hours and 30 minutes a week of moderate-intensity aerobic activity (Try to spread this activity throughout the week; even 10 minutes at a time, a few times a day, is fine). If you want to do more vigorouslevel activities, it is best to slowly introduce these to your workout routine. Always consult a physician prior to developing your post-pregnancy workout routine. As a new parent, finding time to workout can be a challenge. Fortunately, there are options out there to allow you to bring your child along. You just need to have equipment you can trust. There are several options on the market including multifunctional child carriers that let you jog, hike, bike and

even cross country ski with your child. The line of child carriers from Thule are a great option. They easily convert between a jogger, stroller, bike trailer, hiking trailer and a cross country skiing trailer.

Thule also offers dedicated sports strollers, bike trailers and child seats. All these products meet or exceed international safety standards. It’s these standards that ensure these products can handle the toughest con-

ditions. Learn More To view these items as well as other Active with Kids products, go to www. thule.com.

ADHD – not just in children anymore Adult ADHD is associated with multiple comorbidities such as anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder and other personality disorders. Adult ADHD is a valid psychiatric disorder of adulthood distinct from these other conditions. Adult attention deficit disorder differs from the childhood variant because the hyperactivity in adults may be replaced by other symptoms such as anxiety, impulsivity and inattentiveness. In fact, prior to 2002 there were no diagnostic guidelines, but there have been great advances since. Some of the symptoms that characterize Adult ADHD are:

ADHD is a relatively common psychiatric disorder among adults. The prevalence is thought to be 3.5%-5.3%, which accounts for more than 11 million cases in the United States alone. With increased public awareness, adult ADHD became a topic of great interest so clinicians should be able to diagnose, treat, and manage patients with this disorder. Etiology is still uncertain. Genetics however is believed to play a prominent role, followed in importance by acquired injuries to the brain. ADHD was widely thought to be strictly a disorder of childhood. Now there are numerous scientific papers and clinical trials that acknowledge the existence of an adult version of this disorder, which can be traced back to the younger years. Before this time ADHD in adults was known as Minimal Brain Damage or Dysfunction (MBD).

1. Often fails to give close attention to details or makes careless mistakes in school-work, work or other activities. 2. Often has difficulty sustaining attention in tasks or play activities. 3. Often does not seem to listen when spoke to directly. 4. Often does not follow through on instructions and fails to finish schoolwork, chores or duties in the workplace (not due to oppositional behavior or failure to understand directions) 5. Often has difficulty organizing tasks and activities. 6. Often avoids, dislikes, or is reluctant to engage in tasks that require sustained mental effort (such as schoolwork or homework)Often loses things necessary for tasks and activities (eg. School assignments, pencils, keys) 7. Is often easily distracted by extraneous stimuli. PAID ADVERTORIAL

8. Is often forgetful in daily activities.

Some children with ADHD continue to have it as adults. And many adults who have the disorder don’t know it. They may feel that it is impossible to get organized, keep a job, or remember and keep appointments. Daily tasks such as getting up in the morning, preparing to leave the house for work, arriving at work on time, and being productive on the job can be especially challenging for adults with ADHD. These adults may have a history of failure at school, problems at work, failed relationships and traffic accidents. Like teens, adults with ADHD may seem restless and may try to complete several tasks as once, most of them unsuccessfully. They also tend to prefer “quick fixes,” rather than taking the steps needed to achieve greater rewards. Treatment is very rewarding. The first medications to be approved by the FDA belonged to a non-stimulant group of medications: Atomoxetine. The FDA later approved stimulants such as methylphenidate and mixed amphetamine salts. Group delivered cognitive behavioral therapy is recommended in some cases as a supportive treatment. If you or someone you know may have Adult ADHD, call Johns Creek Family Medicine at 770-771-6591 and schedule an appointment with Dr. Zack Charkawi.

Book drive continues to grow By ALDO NAHED aldo@forsythherald.com CUMMING, Ga. — Remington Youngblood is taking his book drive statewide. On June 11, Remington Youngblood met at the Governor’s Mansion with First Lady Sandra Deal. Youngblood, 11, was led into the immaculate library, where he, Ember Bishop, first lady’s assistant, and Sandra Deal sat and talked for almost two hours discussing all the different places and organizations around Georgia that need books. Remington’s nonprofit, Change 4 Georgia is holding large book drives, collecting new and used books that will be donated to libraries, Title I-funded schools and military veterans and their families. Other organizations where the books will be donated include Heartbound Ministries, Fort Gordon and Fort Stewart Youth Challenge Academy, Books for Keeps and Literacy Action. Georgia4Change and Deal will partner with the organizations that need books. There’s a $2,000 donation by Carl Black in Roswell

Remington Youngblood dropped off the first “Giving Library” at the Georgia Army National Guard in Cumming. to cover freight costs and the nonprofit is currently looking for a warehouse with a loading dock that can be used for two-to-three months while the books are distributed. “We have had 100,000 books donated to C4G from Better World Books and are figuring out the logistics and

location,” Youngblood said. “The plan is to flood Georgia with books.” Another book-related program C4G is working on is the “Building by Books” initiative, which sets up “Giving Libraries.” These are shelving units that are filled with books that children and adults can borrow

and return; or keep. A Giving Library was recently placed at the Georgia Army National Guard in Cumming. “We have another one to go in the Military Outreach Center at Georgia Perimeter College,” Youngblood said. “Building by Books is a great program and

Oklahoma! hits the Playhouse stage Show runs through Aug. 3 By SHANNON WEAVER shannon@northfulton.com CUMMING, Ga. — The beloved “Oklahoma!” musical is bringing a little bit of the west to Cumming. Cumming Playhouse has set the stage for Oklahoma!, written by the great Richard Rodgers-Oscar Hammerstein. The show opens Thursday, July 10 and runs through Aug. 3 at 101 School Street. “It’s a really neat story about a simpler time in history when the hope was for land and the hope was for people to get along together,” said Colleen Quigley, the show’s director. The musical features a love story set on the backdrop of the Old West frontier, when Americans began to settle in the area. “You have the handsome cowboy and his love interest and then you have a couple of really great comedic characters as well,” said Leigh Ann Cannady, the producer and music director. “It’s just a really fun,

Roswell remembers lost millworkers 150 years later “Roswell remembers” is what they say about the city’s annual Memorial Day service, which by all accounts is the largest service in the state. But on Saturday and Sunday, July 12 and13, Roswell proposes to remember when the war was not in foreign lands but here at the city gates. Georgia is celebrating the sesquicentennial of the Civil War, and for Roswell, it came in July 1864 when Gen. William T. Sherman’s troops marched in to occupy Roswell and burn its mills to deny the Confederacy the benefit of its looms. But the most heartwrenching chapter for Roswell during that war was that of the Lost Women of Roswell. On Sloan Street just off the Roswell Square stands a memorial to one of the most tragic chapters of Roswell history. On July 10, 1864, more than 400 mill workers of the Roswell Manufacturing Co. were rounded up by occupying Union soldiers. These workers, mostly women, children and a few disabled Confederate veterans, had just lost their livelihood, and now they faced an uncertain future at the hands of these “Northern invaders.” Union Gen. Kenner Garrard reported higher up the chain of command that he was holding around 400 mill workers living in the city, mostly in the mill houses that still encircle Sloan Street today. Gen. Sherman summarily declared the workers guilty of treason and without trial gave orders to transport them out of the region. So it was under a hot July sun in 1864 that these 400 workers were marched off 13 miles to Marietta and boarded boxcars to be shipped away like so much cattle. They had no destination. They were simply taken north and summarily abandoned when federal troops had other uses for their train. They ended up in Kentucky and Indiana and were just turned loose. Most were never heard from again. It is known that many died on the trip, how many are known only to God. Fifteen-year-old Lucinda Elizabeth Wood Shelly, was among them with her mother and grandmother. All of them worked at the mill and were sent by wagon to Marietta, by train to Tennessee and by boat to Louisville, Kentucky. Only Lucinda survived the trip. Eventually,

The mills were left burned by the Yankees, and bridge over the Chattahoochee burned by the Rebs to deny the Federals its use... she made it back to relatives in Kentucky, where she met an ex-Confederate from Roswell who married her and took her back to Georgia. The sacrifice of the mill workers is memorialized today with the monument in Sloan Street Park in Roswell’s Historic District erected at a cost of $20,000 by the Sons of Confederate Veterans, Roswell Mills Camp 1547, who also honor those lost women with their camp name. The Georgia Civil War Commission is marking the historical events as they occurred during Georgia’s 4-year sesquicentennial remembrance of the of the Civil War. In Roswell there were no great battles fought there. There is only the remembrance of the misery visited even unto the civilians during the war. So next weekend, July 12 and 13, Roswell will remember them Saturday and Sunday with re-enactors serving as Union soldiers who occupy Roswell in an encampment Barrington Hall at the corner of Atlanta Street and Marietta Highway (Ga. 9 and Ga. 120). Then they will re-enact the arrest of the women to deny the South their service. Each day the re-enactments are from 1 to 3 p.m. There was no glory in Roswell, only misery.

The memorial on Sloan Street to the Lost Women of Roswell. Chattahoochee burned by the Rebs to deny the Federals its use and keep them on the wrong side of the Chattahoochee. It being a warm July summer, the Federals simply waded through a shallow Chattahoochee later. So why then should we take note and attend? Because this is our history – not Northern, not Southern but American. It settled the question of are we one country or a federation of states. It settled the question of whether we are truly a free country or one of slavery. We attend this recreation of those days to remember the price paid during that civil war. So I will be there to pay tribute to that sacrifice and to ponder the folly of all wars.

Given my forthcoming nuptials, I’m learning a lot about human nature. For instance, who knew it’s harder to joke about breaking up once you’ve put a ring on it? I am a smarter man now, to be sure. One thing that surprised me (and my bride-to-be) was how touchy people can be when it comes to the registry. I need to explain some things first. My extended family – all my aunts, uncles, cousins, grandparents and so on - live in England. For them all to come to a wedding in Georgia is asking a lot. It’s simply too expensive. So instead, we are planning on spending the honeymoon touring England in part to see that wonderful country again, but also to give the rest of my family a chance to celebrate with us. Our thinking was, because such a honeymoon will be expensive, why don’t we forgo the traditional registry of things we don’t really need in favor of asking for money? It would go toward the trip and anything left over we can use on whatever we need. So we signed up for an online site, similar to PayPal, that allows user to donate to a couple. It’s called a “Honeyfund.” Almost as soon as we started telling people about this, we began getting yelled at. Some people were offended we would ask for money. They would rather give a $50 item than give cash. Some people said they would simply ignore our request and get something we would use. This boggled me. I thought

our request was simple – to see my family, we need money. We don’t need much in the way of household supplies, so it seemed a simple request. One relative explained that if they were to give something, they want it to be meaningful. Cash can be spent on many things, true, but it can also be whittled away on bills. A gift will last and, ideally, we will think of the giver every time we use it. I get this concept. It makes sense. Our friends and cousins who are of our generation generally see the practicality in our request, which I think is a defining characteristic of the age. Traditions hold less sway these days than in the past. They are not all on board with the idea, but many are. More troublesome are the older crowd, the aunts and uncles who want to help kit out our new home-sweet-home. In the end we bowed to the pressure and made a registry (Crate and Barrel). But I’m still interested in what people think about gift-less weddings. If you have a thought on it, drop me a line at jonathan@northfulton. com.

Forsyth County Sheriff’s Deputy Lora Hoek and Rosemary reunite.

Injured German Shepherd doing well CUMMING, Ga. — There was a surprise reunion July 2 for a deputy and an injured canine. Rosemary, the German Shepherd that was dragged by her leash behind a pickup truck by her owner, and Forsyth County Sheriff’s Deputy Lora Hoek were reunited at an event held at PetSmart on Market Place Boulevard in Cumming. Hoek was one of the first deputies on scene, who rushed Rosemary to nearby Orr Animal Hospital for treatment on June 18. The driver, who later signed Rosemary over to the county’s care, was arrested and charged with animal

cruelty. At the July 2 event, PetSmart presented Paws for a Cause with a $14,000 donation. Paws for a Cause paid for the spaying procedure for Rosemary and offers multiple programs to help animals in Forsyth County. The Forsyth County Humane Society is still caring for the renamed Rosemary, a 2-year-old, while she recovers. Rosemary is doing well. The Humane Society also set up a GoFundMe account, www.gofundme.com/HSFCRosemary for Rosemary. Their goal was $1,000 and by July 3, they had already raised $1,055.

Keep Forsyth County Beautiful recognized Commissioners also recognized Kevin Smith FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. — The Forsyth County Board of Commissioners recognized Keep Forsyth County Beautiful (KFCB) and its staff and board of directors during the commission’s June 19 meeting. KFCB became an affiliate of Keep America Beautiful in 1994. Over the past 20 years, KFCB has consistently earned the President’s Circle Award by meeting all requirements for a certified affiliate of the national Keep America Beautiful program. In addition to this national honor, KFCB was recently recognized by Gov. Nathan Deal and received the Governor’s Circle Award for being among the top affiliates in the state of Georgia. “Each year, KFCB continues to enhance the health, safety and economic viability of Forsyth County by empowering hundreds of local volunteers to take greater responsibility for litter prevention

and cleanup, recycling, water quality and other forms of beautification,” said Commission Chairman R.J. (Pete) SMITH Amos. “The Board of Commissioners would like to congratulate Keep Forsyth County Beautiful on this outstanding recognition. Thank you for all you do.” During the meeting, the commissioners also recognized KFCB Outreach Specialist Kevin Smith, who was named by the Georgia Department of Natural Resources Environmental Protection Division as the Adopt-a-Stream Trainer of the Year. Smith has been an Adopta-Stream trainer since 2006, conducting workshops as part of the KFCB program. In 2013 alone, he conducted 44 workshops resulting in more than 800 volunteers receiving Adopt-aStream certifications. – Erica O’Neal

Sarah Buchanan greets families of Rwandan farmers during a recent trip.

TABLE AND MAIN:

How a Roswell farmer gives genocide survivors hope I first met Sarah Buchanan at Table & Main’s garden in Roswell in the fall of 2013. A friend of mine put me in touch, as Buchanan founded a nonprofit organization in 2012 called “The Kula Project.” Their goal is to eliminate poverty by giving one billion farmers the tools to make it happen, largely through donations and fundraisers, like their annual #forthefarmer campaign that takes place on Aug. 14. Kula means “to eat” in Swahili and “community” in Sanskrit, and the Kula Project aims to help farmers in Africa support themselves, their families and their communities. One of their earliest projects brought drip-tank technology to an orphanage in Kenya which enabled them to harvest every 21 days. Before, the farmers were using seeds that were seven years old, but with their new methods, the orphanage was able to feed all of their children for the very first time — and even made $400 at a local market. Their latest project will help genocide survivors in Rwanda grow coffee beans and bananas, which will double their income for the next thirty years. Buchanan still worked at Table & Main when we first spoke, though she has since parted ways due to the success of her project. Her partnership with Table & Main, 1028 Can-

ton Street in Roswell, however, is what directly funded the early stages of the Kula Project. Without owner Ryan Pernice allowing Buchanan to take weeks off work, The Kula Project would have gone kaput. Instead, the Kula Project recently celebrated their two-year anniversary at Monday Night Brewing Company in Midtown, a massive accomplishment considering 80 percent of small businesses fail within two years. Hopefully, this means they’ll be around for the long haul. This is important for both our community and Africa, because Buchanan’s project sets an example for all of us to follow. The issue is that, as a whole, we aren’t doing that right now, and it’s the main reason Buchanan went to Africa to make a difference: People here didn’t seem to want it. “We were building a lot of gardens around Roswell, and then we realized that no one was taking care of them after we left,” Buchanan said. “And when we first started Kula, we were trying to convince people to become farmers, and we

realized that wasn’t working either. That’s when we started working with existing farmers.” Part of the problem was Roswell’s city laws. Though one of those gardens was behind Table & Main, Kula wasn’t legally allowed to sell the crops for a profit. Instead, they had to donate the goods to the restaurant to sell. Laws like these mean someone thousands of miles away can sell you food because it’s been approved by the federal government, but a neighbor, friend or community member cannot sell food from their garden down the street. Who do you trust more? For the vast majority of human existence on earth, food was eaten from within walking distance of where it grew. Today, you couldn’t find the farm your lettuce or bananas came from unless you worked for the NSA. The number of people, miles and gallons of oil behind everything we eat is enormous, and it clogs up our system while hurting our health and the environment. The fact that fresh food went ignored in the middle of a city shows the height of our ignorance. As we have forgotten our food, we have forgotten ourselves.

Former Ole Miss Coach to help lead Paladins boys’ lacrosse CUMMING, Ga. — Pinecrest Academy Paladins boys’ lacrosse will have a new head coach. Coach Patrick Aiello, former head men’s lacrosse coach at the University of Mississippi, will join staff as associate head varsity lacrosse coach for the school’s inaugural varsity boys’ lacrosse team.

To maintain the momentum of a successful lacrosse program and to take the sport to the next level, Pinecrest recruited and hired seasoned coach, Aiello, to help lead the school’s first varsity boys’ lacrosse team. Prior to joining Pinecrest Academy, Aiello was an assistant athletic academic counselor at the University of Mississippi, as well as an adjunct instructor for freshmen experience courses. He also served as head men’s lacrosse coach at the University of Mississippi for three years. “I am very excited to get the program going and meet my new team and the entire Pinecrest lacrosse community,” Aiello said. “My vision is to build a strong program at Pinecrest and to teach our young men to work together as a team, instilling in them life lessons that they will carry with them forever.” –Aldo Nahed officer, who are not certified and cannot carry a weapon.

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.
