Same class sizes, adds day to term Fulton Board opts for no millage rollback for next year By CANDY WAYLOCK candy@northfulton.com FULTON COUNTY, Ga. — The Fiscal Year 2015 budget for the Fulton County Board of Education is a done deal, with few surprises or changes in place as the system looks to the next 12 months.

Saddle Club to offer ride Horse enthusiasts gear up for event By JONATHAN COPSEY jonathan@northfulton.com MILTON, Ga. — It might seem a simple thing, to go for a walk, but when you involve a large animal, it can get tricky. Foremost is where on earth do you ride a horse? For the Milton Saddle Club, they hope to lead a large
group of riders on horseback through the large, 200-acre Birmingham Park in northwestern Milton. One of the Milton Saddle Club organizers, Roger Brown of Brownwood Farm, said he wanted to put together a ride with some friends and neighbors in Birmingham Park. He received a surprising response. “Nobody in the neighborhood even knew about it,” he said. “That park is sitting there totally dormant, but it’s
a great place to ride in.” Birmingham Park is one of the largest undeveloped tracts of land in the metro Atlanta area. Despite being called a park, there is little on it, a status the city has no plans to change any time soon. While there are plans to develop parts of it, the city has no immediate plans for the park. When the city was coming up with its plans several

Milton seeks resident feedback Milton hosts online “National Citizen Survey” MILTON, Ga. — The City of Milton is now hosting a National Research Center “National Citizen Survey” at the city’s Web site, www.cityofmiltonga. us. The survey, last conducted in 2012, is closely tied to the city’s 2012-2015 Strategic Plan and seeks to establish an updated baseline for resident and business satisfaction with the city’s services, plans and programs. Results will be used, in part, to help guide the city’s future priorities and budgeting. The survey uses standard questions and queries unique
to Milton, enabling the city to compare with others of the same size. “This survey has been sent randomly to Milton residents’ homes LAGERBLOOM over the summer,” said Chris Lagerbloom, the city manager. “Now, we’re able to post an online version for additional input, and we’d love to hear from everyone.” Results from the mailed survey will be available in August. The online survey results will be an ongoing gauge of success. For more information call 678-242-2492 or email christine.doss@cityofmiltonga.us.

Off-duty police officer drowns at Lake Lanier FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. — A 32-year-old man drowned in Lake Lanier on June 26 near Little Ridge Park off Lanier Beach South Road in Forsyth County. The victim was identified as Canon Trent Callender, of Lawrenceville. Callender was a Lawrenceville Police Department police officer, who was off duty at the time. The Forsyth County Sheriff’s Office received a 911 call at 5:35 p.m. about a man swimming who went under the water and never came back up near a boat ramp at Little Ridge Park. The Forsyth County Sheriff’s Office, Hall County Fire Department and the Georgia Department of Natural Resources responded with marine units. The waters were clear and calm, which helped rescue
units during their search, said Forsyth County Sheriff’s Deputy Doug Rainwater. About 7 p.m., Callender’s body CALLENDER was found in 10 feet of water in the same area where he was last seen – 35 feet from shore. Callender is a 2000 Duluth High School graduate who studied finance at Georgia Gwinnett Technical College, according to his Facebook page. He was with the Lawrenceville Police Department for about four years, according to Capt. Greg Vaughn. He was pronounced dead at the scene. —Aldo Nahed

Public meetings for MARTA expansion July 8, 10, 17 in North Fulton NORTH FULTON, Ga.— MARTA has scheduled a series of public meetings to collect public input regarding early findings from the Connect 400 Transit Initiative. The transit authority is working on plans to extend rail service potentially up to Windward Parkway, with several stops in Alpharetta and Roswell. The study, which continues efforts initiated in 2012, will assess potential transit options to improve regional mobility and accessibility in northern Fulton County. The Ga. 400 corridor has become a regional hub for population and employment growth, and stakeholders and the public have expressed support for future transit in the corridor. During the meeting, MAR-
TA will present a summary of public input to date, including results of a public survey conducted by Kennesaw State University, as well as information regarding potential expansion alternatives. The information collected at these meetings will help to inform the selection of a preferred transit alternative for the corridor. In addition, MARTA will share the schedule for future project activities, including detailed environmental studies that are required by the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) for transit system expansion. To maximize opportunities for participation, meetings will be held at three separate locations within the corridor. The meetings will share identical information.
The information collected at these meetings will help to inform the selection of a preferred transit alternative for the corridor. Meetings are scheduled as follows: Tuesday, July 8, 6:30 -8 p.m. Johns Creek Environmental Campus 8100 Holcomb Bridge Road, Roswell Thursday, July 10, 6:30 -8 p.m. Georgia State University Alpharetta Center 3775 Brookside Pkwy, Alpharetta Thursday, July 17, 6:30 -8 p.m.
Hampton Inn Atlanta – Perimeter Center 769 Hammond Dr. NE, Sandy Springs All members of the public, MARTA patrons, residents and business owners in the Ga. 400 corridor, and other stakeholders are encouraged to attend the meetings and stay involved in this important planning process. More information can be found on the Connect400 Facebook page or on the website at http://www.itsmarta. com/north-line-400-corr.aspx. —Jonathan Copsey
FBI nabs 71 in Georgia child sex sting 11 kids rescued from trafficking By JONATHAN COPSEY jonathan@northfulton.com ATLANTA – Federal Bureau of Investigation agencies throughout the country raided hundreds of homes in a national sting on child sex trafficking operations in mid-June. In Georgia, 11 children were recovered and 71 people
arrested on charges that include pimping, criminal attempt child molestation/enticement of a minor, prostitution and solicitation. In terms of children rescued, Atlanta is fourth in the list of cities raided. It ranks above Los Angeles (10 found). Only Denver (18), Cleveland (16) and Chicago (13) were higher. Dave McCleary, with the Roswell Rotary’s efforts to stop human trafficking, said it should come as no surprise

We are also working to get all cities in Georgia to be trained in looking out for sex and human trafficking.” DAVE MCCLEARY Roswell Rotary
Atlanta was so high on the list. “Atlanta has a large airport and there are lots of conventions and sports events here,” he said. People come from all over the country and world for conventions and sporting events, often men, who are separated from their families. “During larger sporting events, you tend to see activity increase quite a bit, men wanting to purchase children for sex,” McCleary said. “The airport is one piece of that.” He said the higher numbers for Atlanta does not just mean the city is a hub for activity; it also means the city and the state are working harder to find and stop traffickers. “Georgia is doing a lot to combat this,” McCleary said. With efforts from groups like Rotary and the Governor’s Task Force on Human Trafficking and the Georgia Bureau of Investigation, more communication and interaction is taking place among those working to stop trafficking. “We are also working to get all cities in Georgia to be
trained in looking out for sex and human trafficking,” McCleary said. Should that happen, Georgia would be the first state to take this step. A recent study by the Shapiro Group found that 42 percent of Atlanta’s sex trafficking – including children – takes place north of the Perimeter. Residents in this area are typically wealthier than others, and traffickers follow the money. “Operation Cross Country” is an annual operation that is part of the Innocence Lost National Initiative established in 2003 by the FBI’s Criminal Investigative Division, in partnership with the Department of Justice and the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, to address the growing problem of child prostitution. To date, the FBI and its task force partners have recovered more than 3,400 children from being exploited. The investigations and subsequent 1,450 convictions have resulted in lengthy sentences, including 14 life terms.

ROSWELL, Ga. – The Roswell City Council unanimously approved moving forward with a plan to create a town green and public spaces around City Hall. With a price tag of $578,000, the design for the project will include a town green, outdoor amphitheater, restrooms and a promenade as well as landscaping. The Faces of War veterans’ memorial will be moved to make way for the green, being placed on the north side of the lawn. The actual construction will take place in stages over several years. Overall, the project is expected to cost about $5.2 million. “The whole thing is to activate, connect and support Canton Street,” said Monica Hagewood, of the Downtown Development Authority, which
conceived and developed the plan. When Roswell’s City Hall was built, the designers placed it facing away from Ga. 9 and Canton Street, instead leaving a wooded area between them. This has closed off the City Hall complex – and it’s many parking spaces - from the popular heart of Roswell. The town green is an effort to fix this, connecting the two entities. It will open up City Hall and create a more pedestrianfriendly atmosphere, supporters say. City Administrator Kay Love said that once the concept designs are drawn up, they will undergo public hearings and scrutiny to focus on what the citizens of Roswell want them to look like. “Sometimes the best use is to not touch it so much,” said resident Janet Russell. “The plan is too intensive and that an open green is the wrong

VOTE KEY: Y = yes; N = no; A = abstain; R = recused; * = absent idea – after all, who wants to sit in the August sun? Leave the trees, she said. “This is not Versailles, this is City Hall,” she said. In defending the costs, members of council pointed to other times the city has spent to improve streetscapes and have their investment return many times over. A prime example is Canton Street, where the city installed the brick sidewalks and streetlamps. This spurred the redevelopment and restaurant frenzy that now exists. The same investment in City Hall, Hagewood said, would help spread Canton Street’s success further afield, up and down Ga. 9. “This is a terrific vision for our city,” said Dippolito. “This isn’t about spending. This is an investment in
our city.” The motion to approve the
concept of the town green was approved unanimously.

Officials say police officers arrived first to the home. They and arriving fire fighters broke into the home and began a search for the resident, later identified as Yvonne Crisp, 52.
911 had Crisp on the phone until she lost consciousness. When first responders finally found the woman in an upstairs room, they pulled her from the home as the building’s roof began to collapse. Police began CPR as Crisp was loaded into an ambulance and taken to North Fulton
Hospital in serious condition. She was later moved to a burn center in Augusta. She later died of her injuries. Alpharetta and Milton fire crews worked to contain the blaze, however the home was destroyed. The cause of the blaze is under investigation.

Nine Polling Locations to Change in Fulton County for July 22 Run-Off Election NORTH FULTON, Ga. – Due to unforeseen circumstances, the Fulton County Department of Registration and Elections will be required to change nine polling locations for the 2014 Primary Run-Off scheduled for July 22. “Unfortunately, we will not be able to use eight schools and one church as polling locations for the upcoming run-off election,” states Richard Barron, director of the Fulton County Department of Registration and Elections. “The schools will be undergoing renovations and the other location does not allow collection of signatures for a petition outside of the 150 foot buffer that is permissible by Georgia Election Code.” All affected voters will be notified of the changes in location by first-class mail. All concerned residents are urged to check on-line to find out if the change would affect their poll on

Union to invade Roswell 150 re-enactments remember occupation By JONATHAN COPSEY jonathan@northfulton.com ROSWELL, Ga. – The Yankees are coming! At least, re-enactors representing Yankees will be converging on Roswell July 12 and 13 as the city – and the rest of Atlanta – remembers 150 years since the Union assaults during the Civil War. In a theatrical press conference June 26, General George Thomas and his aid, Major Michael Hitt, informed members of the press about Union plans to invade the Atlanta region, seizing key bridges along the Chattahoochee River. This includes the covered bridge that connected the mill town of Roswell with the city. “It’s very important we seize this bridge,” explained Hitt. “We need to take it before the Confederates burn it.” Thomas added: “The ultimate object is the City of Atlanta.” At the time, Atlanta was a major railway and supply hub for the state and the Confederacy. The capitol was in Milledgeville. As many “Gone with the Wind” readers will remember, Atlanta burned.
Roswell was a major manufacturing town for the Confederacy, producing cotton and cloth in its mills. At the cotton mill, they made shirts and wagon covers “A good majority of the production of the Roswell mills goes to Atlanta – rope, sheets, navy supplies, blankets and uniforms,” Hitt said. “Well-supplied troops are happy troops.” The event was to gear up support for the 150 anniversary of Union troops occupying Roswell during the Civil War. They burned the mills and took the workers – 400 men, women and children – north to Kentucky and Indiana on charges of treason, an act that was unique and the war and since. “It never happened again, a town charged with treason,” Hitt said. Most of the workers never returned south. Roswell’s event June 12 and 13 will feature re-enactors portraying Union soldiers camped out on the grounds of Barrington Hall as they were during the occupation. Theses “soldiers” will give demonstrations of camp life to visitors. The highlight of the week-

end is Union troops rounding up “mill workers” on the town square and reading out their arrest warrants. The workers are then taken away. Roswell’s event is shaping up to be one of the biggest Civil War commemorations in the metro area and shows something a little different than most re-enactments. “This is unique and different,” said Hitt. “We’re not shooting any anyone. We’re camping out on the grounds the soldiers actually camped on. There are not many reenactment events where the re-enactors can interact with the public.”

ASO Celebrates America at Verizon Wireless Amphitheatre By JEMILLE WILLIAMS news@northfulton.com
“Overture to ‘The Cowboys.’” Across our fair land, doth any celebration of our nation’s independence not trot out at least one John Philip Sousa march? Methinks not. Next on the program was the first of two of the March King’s most popular struts. Young led with “The Washington Post.” One of the first of Sousa’s 136 marches, it was commissioned by his hometown newspaper. Its rousing cadence had hands clapping and toes tapping from the front of the stage to the back of the lawn. Being the new guy, he said he tried to think of a piece that would convey that feeling of men bravely and proudly marching to war -- something that has been a military tradition since martial music’s genesis in fife and drum. He said he could only think of one. Chuckles broke out as the soon-familiar bombast of John Williams’ “The Imperial March” from “Star Wars” was recognized. Next on the docket was the most famous whistling song ever. Sorry, Opie, it’s the “Colonel Bogey March,” written in 1914, but immortalized in the 1957 film, “The Bridge on the River Kwai.” The fact that just the sheet music of the tune went gold (selling one million
ALPHARETTA, Ga. — It was summertime and the listening was easy Saturday, June 28 at Verizon Wireless Amphitheatre at Encore Park. It was a perfect night for the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra’s annual Celebrate America program of patriotic music. Freshman conductor Joseph Young took the baton for his first ASO concert since being named assistant conductor at the beginning of the month. He is also music director of the Atlanta Symphony Youth Orchestra. He has led a distinguished career since graduating a decade ago from the University of South Carolina (also the alma mater of Darius Rucker, the artist formerly known as Hootie). He cut a dapper figure in black shirt and white dinner jacket and marshalled the forces for a program of perennial favorites for the occasion of celebrating all that’s great about America. After a rousing rendition of the “Star-Spangled Banner,” during which he faced and conducted us, he kicked right into Copland’s Rodeo. Motif? It was what was for dinner, for he rounded up the first half of the concert with John Williams’
copies) in the infancy of radio is nothing short of astounding. The most surprising part of the lineup was the introduction of James Reese Europe, the foremost African-American musician in New York City. He was known as the “Martin Luther King of Music.” In 1912, he made history when his Clef Club was the first group to play jazz at Carnegie Hall. This is even more amazing when you compare that to Benny Goodman’s first concert there 26 years later. After the break, the misnomered “Bugler’s Holiday” by Leroy Anderson gave three of the ASO’s finest trumpet players a chance to show off front and center with the demanding piece. Now for a bit of trivia: What is the most recorded song in history? If you thought “Yesterday,” think again. It’s “Summertime” from “Porgy and Bess.” And who was the lyricist of this most popular song? Ira Gershwin? Nope. It was DuBose Heyward, author of the book “Porgy” and collaborator with George and Ira on the only opera featuring AfricanAmericans. It’s a song that cuts a swath across so many types of music – opera, blues, jazz, soul, R&B, funk, pop, and even
hip-hop. It was an inspired choice for Charleston native Joseph Young, and I doubt there could ever be a more faithful reading than what we were treated to. A blend of Negro spiritual and Ukrainian lullaby, it hits the sweet spot for countless artists and listeners, but too often fails to capture the languid and lyrical vibe that Young paced. Bravo, sir! Somehow, “The 1812 Overture,” written by Russian Pyotr Tchaikovsky, portraying the Pyrrhic victory that the French aggressors achieved in taking
Moscow, has become inextricably associated with American Independence, which of course, the French were instrumental in securing. Whatever! We love it and can’t seem to celebrate without it. It’s great to hear the ASO in their “summer home” at least once during the summer. Let’s all get busy lobbying the ASO to get the orchestra out here for the rest of the summer next year! With 25 Grammys to their credit, we are blessed to have such a world-class symphony to call our own.

Merit raises for Fulton teachers in 2015? Revisions to compensation plan will place less emphasis on tenure, graduate degrees BY CANDY WAYLOCK candy@northfulton.com FULTON COUNTY – Teachers in the Fulton County School System (FCSS) may be among the first in the state to be paid based on performance in the classroom and not solely on years worked and degrees earned. The system is in the midst of an ambitious 5-year strategic plan to improve student performance, and having the best teachers in place is the only way to achieve the goals, say school officials. “As part of our [ongoing} initiatives, we are working on ways to provide opportunities for our best teachers , our most effective teachers, who impact what happens in our classrooms every day,” said Kenneth Zeff, FCSS chief of Innovation and Strategy. For the past year, a group of 125 staff members, including teachers from every school in the system, along with principals and administrators has been looking at a performance-

based compensation model. The change is a big one, and goes against a centuries-old model that has long existed in schools across the country. “There is a common understanding that [teachers] are compensated regardless of their performance, contributions, skills or knowledge,” said Zeff. “Teacher performance is not included in the calculation of pay, but rather by the number of years they are in the profession and the [degrees they earn].” Fulton’s conversion to a charter system three years ago has allowed it to revamp teacher compensation; an option not possible in noncharter systems. The Fulton plan could serve as a model for compensation reform statewide, said Zeff. The Georgia Department of Education is “highly” interested in Fulton’s plans, Zeff added. Ccompensation is the final piece of the overall plan to attract and retain the top teachers. FCSS has already achieve at least a 3.3 semester grade point average.

The increases would range from nothing for teachers deemed “ineffective” based on evaluations, to a 4.5 percent increase for those considered “exemplary.
” Teachers in the “needs development” range could see a 1.5 percent increase, and those evaluated as “proficient” would see a 3 percent increase. Current compensation for teachers in Fulton County begins at $40,308 annually for a new teacher with a bachelor’s degree, to $86,196 for a teacher with more than 25 years experience and a doctorate degree. The categories for teachers will be determined based on the state’s Teacher Effectiveness Measure (TEM) which is tied to the TKES program all schools are participating in. Zeff recognizes the work that lies ahead as the structure of pay makes a monumental change. But he noted the working group composed primarily of

Cyclists shut down Ga. 400 Part of annual bike ride By JONATHAN COPSEY jonathan@northfulton.com ROSWELL, Ga. – More than 1,000 bicycle enthusiasts took to the streets in the early morning of June 28. Their agenda – the have run doing what they love to do: ride bikes. For six years, a portion of Ga. 400 has been shut down for the annual Ga. 400 Hospitality Highway Century. Bicycles are typically not allowed on controlled freeways so the chance to ride a bike on the freeway brings an added
thrill to cyclists. Roswell was designated a Bicycle Friendly Community in 2006 and has attracted many cyclists to their roads. Roswell Mayor Jere Wood and Transportation Director Steve Acenbrak are avid cyclists and help promote the sport in their town. The event supported local cycling charities and a youth cycling team that fights childhood obesity, the Junior Flyers. But Ga. 400 was simply the beginning of what, for some, was a ride of over 100 miles. The longer rides traverse country roads in Fulton, Cherokee and Forsyth counties and pass beautiful horse farms and landscape up to Stone Mountain.

Country Club of Roswell names new executive chef
CUMMING, Ga. — The Miracle League of Forsyth County received a $2,240 boost recently. The money was donated by Norman’s Landing restaurant, which raised funds during a table tennis championship in March. The money will go toward replenishing the Miracle League’s bats and uniforms, which were damaged during sub-freezing weather. The restaurant, 365 Peachtree Parkway in Cumming, will hold their next table tennis tournament in October. Visit www.normanslanding.com for more information.
ROSWELL, Georgia — After a nationwide search, Country Club of Roswell has selected Greg Volle as their new executive chef. “In just the little bit of time that Volle has been with us, he has made tremendous headway in catering to the needs and wants of our members,” said Mike Davis, general manager. Volle was previously executive chef of Panther Creek in Illinois, where he competed in the Great American Seafood Cook Off in New Orleans (both televised by PBS and Food Network) and hosted two well-received Chaine de Rotisseurs dinners at the Illinois Governor’s Mansion and Panther Creek.

A changing market and Allocating your time with to-do lists changing perspectives It seems to be a strange time right now for housing. Inventory was tight last year and no one could find what they were looking for. The funny thing is, I’m still hearing that comment from buyers and other agents alike, but it’s not quite accurate. Inventory in metro Atlanta is up 24 percent versus last year, 19 percent in North Atlanta. The problem now isn’t lack of inventory, what we’re finding from our buyers is lack of quality inventory. Buyers have changed their perspective from last year. Home values went on a steep rise and sellers have taken that as a signal to get as much as they can. Who can blame them. After the extended recession and brutal beating everyone took over the previous 5 years, recovery was just what the doctor ordered. But buyers aren’t biting and demand has softened. Even new home builders, who jumped on the rising prices bandwagon, are beginning to offer incentives. In our experience, a buyer will wait longer or broaden their search area to find the right home before they pursue a home at top dollar that doesn’t offer top condition or location. This is why we’re seeing lower sales numbers overall. In metro Atlanta the

number of homes sold in May is down 8 percent from the same time last year, despite inventory being up 24 percent Are we headed for another correction? The short answer is no. Despite rising prices we’re still off from our peaks in most areas by approximately 6 percent. Through the rest of this year inventory will continue to rise modestly, demand is likely to remain soft and prices will not rise at the rates they have over the past months, in fact we’re seeing that now. A sellers’ challenge is not simply one of pricing, it is more about a sales strategy in their hyper-local market. Buyer demand isn’t dead, they will pay up if it’s what they want. Sellers need to understand what they want.

Do you allocate enough time to get your tasks and activities completed in your small business? Have you found that you’ve underestimated the amount of time it takes to finish things? Are you pushing things off because you simply don’t have time to even start them? Time is money in owning and running a small business and allocating the right amount of time to the right tasks is critical to being successful. Like cash flow, time is a valuable resource. Everyone from CEOs to front-line employees squander this resource like an untuned car wastes fuel. You can’t bank time, nor can you delegate time to others. This “use it or lose it” resource can only be used once. So how do you allocate your time? Most people will tell you that they create a to-do list each day. While lists are important, they help you manage tasks and activities, not the time required to complete them. Prioritizing your to-do list and al-

Stay Safe from the Summer Heat Provided by Northside Hospital Emergency Services Heat stroke, also known as sun stroke, is the most serious form of heat injury and may cause damage the brain and other vital organs. It can even be fatal. Heat exhaustion occurs after you’ve been exposed to high temperatures for several days and have become dehydrated. Without proper care, heat exhaustion can eventually lead to heat stroke. Before you head out for a day of fun in the sun, brush up on these sun-savvy tips to keep you and your family safe and healthy this summer: Stay Hydrated. If you’re going to be in the sun all day, be sure to drink 16 to 32 ounces of fluids, such as water, fruit juices or sports beverages, each hour. Avoid caffeinated and alcoholic beverages, as these can worsen your dehydration. Know the symptoms.
Heat exhaustion and heat stroke share some of the same symptoms—confusion, nausea, dizziness, headache and high body temperature. A person with heat exhaustion usually perspires heavily, while someone with heatstroke has lost the ability to sweat. If you are overheated, out of breath or your heart is racing, stop what you’re doing and move indoors immediately—especially if you feel lightheaded. If you or someone you know has lost the ability to perspire, seek medical attention immediately. The CDC recommends taking a cold shower or bath, and using other cooling measures such as fans or ice towels. Keep cool and use common sense. Avoid being out in the mid-day heat as much as possible. When you do go outside, wear loose fitting, lightweight and light-colored clothing. Exposure to air conditioning, even just for just a few hours a day, can help prevent heat-related illnesses. If it’s sweltering inside your home, take a break and find

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.

T
he American Legion Auxiliary (ALA), founded in 1919, is the world’s largest women’s patriotic service organization, with a mission to honor the sacrifice of those who serve in the United States armed forces by enhancing the lives of veterans, military and their families, both at home and abroad. The ALA encourages young women to get involved as well, with a Junior Auxiliary program available to girls through age 17. Junior members volunteer with other girls in their age group, planning community service projects and conducting their own meetings. In 2011, local resident Tana Wagner helped re-energize the Junior Auxiliary at Alpharetta’s Post 201 by bringing in a group of young freshmen from Milton High School. “To be eligible for membership, you must be a daughter, granddaughter, great granddaughter or sister of a member of the American Legion or someone who served in the armed forces of the United States during certain wartime periods,” Wagner explained, adding that the group is actively recruiting new members. “Our motto is Service Before Self,” said Kim Oliver, who serves as president of Post 201’s Auxiliary. “The Juniors are involved in a wide variety of activities, including handing out poppies on Memorial Day and Veterans Day to local residents in exchange for donations to the Auxiliary, and collecting toiletry and comfort items for an annual Stand Down event through the Atlanta V.A. Hospital, where homeless veterans are provided with services such as food, shelter, clothing and health screenings.” Last fall, several young women volunteered at the American Heroes Air Show in Canton, where the Traveling Vietnam Wall was set up – a three-fifths scale replica of the actual memorial located in Washington, D.C. Christana Wagner used a laptop to help visitors search a computer database for the location of names of the deceased on the wall. “Visitors came to us with very little information on the person, but we were able to find the location of the name by narrowing down the hometown, branch, etc.,” she said. “You could see the real joy and sometimes pain on some people’s face once we gave them the panel and line
number of a loved one’s name. “This service to our veterans was really special to be a part of,” she said. “We’ve been able to help active soldiers and retired veterans, so it’s been neat to see how we can affect these people at different points in their military life. Seeing how much they appreciate it makes every effort beyond worth it.” Wagner’s experience was made all the more poignant as she hopes to soon join the U.S. military herself. Wagner, who graduated from Milton High School in May, was one of two North Fulton students who received a coveted appointment to the United States Air Force Academy. Junior Auxiliary member Chandler Moore’s most memorable service project was the Adopt-A-Veteran Christmas program held in December 2013. The Juniors adopted a family of eight – an older couple with six grandchildren in their care – and solicited donations of bikes, coats, boots and toys for each child. “Our group learned about a struggling military family in the Atlanta area, and it meant the world to us to be able to give back to them by providing a ‘miracle Christmas,’” said Moore. “More than anything else, my involvement with the American Legion has opened my eyes to the extreme dedication and courage that we have backing our great nation. Having the opportunity to serve those who have defended the country that I love has been a privilege, and we’ve certainly had a lot of fun along the way.” Moore, who was recently named valedictorian of Milton High School’s class of 2014, listed her work with the American Legion as some of the “proudest moments” of her years in high school. The graduating members of the Junior Auxiliary were honored in June at a special meeting at Post 201. When each young woman turns 18, she will become a full member of the American Legion Auxiliary. At the meeting, Anna Ezrine reflected on her four years of service. “Volunteering through the American Legion, with some of my best friends, has been such an incredible experience,” said Ezrine. “I love knowing that I have made even the smallest positive impact in my community. The fact that we get to give back to the incredible men and women who have done, and still do, so much for us and our country is an amazing feeling. I know that I will continue volunteering in the future because it is near and dear to my heart.” ■

Concert guitarist Richard Gilewitz plays Roswell Offers workshops also ROSWELL, Ga. – The Six String Social Club presents world-renowned guitarist and educator Richard Gilewitz in concert for one night Saturday July 12 at Ragamuffin Music Hall. For over three decades, American fingerstyle wizard Gilewitz has fascinated listeners with 6and 12-string finger gymnastics while spinning enchanting yarns of a seasoned raconteur. His signature playing style delivers a technical diversity of banjo style patterns and classical arpeggios with a rhythmic percussive approach, exploring the history of guitar with sounds of folk to Americana, the blues to the classical, ragtime to pop, and somewhere in between. Gilewitz will also present a series of three one-hour workshops July 12 starting at Noon. Students around the globe attend Gilewitz ‘s roving GillaCamp Guitar Workshop, an interactive experience that provides players an avenue to renew their love of the guitar. Designed for all

System will spend just over $1.4 billion over the next 12 months across all budgets, including school nutrition, debt service, pension and construction. The Fulton School Board voted to keep the millage rate
at 18.502. While that may seem like a win for taxpayers, it actually translates into a tax increase as property values continue to rise, along with tax bills. In order to generate the same $509 million in tax levy
as in the past year, the millage rate would need to have been rolled back to 18.342, which the board opted not to do. A mill is applied to each $1,000 of assessed valuation. A home valued at $200,000 in Fulton County (outside the city
of Atlanta) with the standard homeowner’s exemption will pay $3,663 in taxes to the school system. Taxes going to the Fulton School System are more than half the annual tax bill for the average taxpayer.

A contender in the “Little Miss Rodeo” pageant, Allison Bray, 6, rides her pony.
Saddle: Continued from Page 1 years ago, the horse community turned out in force, saying they frequently rode in the wilderness. “Horse riding is important to this city,” Brown said. After all, a horse is the city’s logo. Brown has horses in his blood. He has been involved with the equine beasts for much of his life – 45 years. Brownwood Farm, on Wood Road, was started in 1970 and he now has 40 horses on his land, where he trains them. “I get enjoyment from start to finish of raising them, train-
ing them, showing them and seeing the look of enjoyment other people get from them. That is the end result,” he said. It’s that love the Milton Saddle Club wants to tap into, said another organizer, Kathy Cobb. “We want to unite equine of all disciplines at the Milton Saddle Club,” she said. “Everybody is welcome. The important thing is a love of horses. We want to celebrate riding.” Along with the trail ride itself, Brown and Cobb hope to make it a family day. Picnics, live music and food are planned. The Saddle Club is the force behind the forthcoming Milton Rodeo, taking place in
October 2015. For 20 years, the rodeo was at Alpharetta’s Wills Park and drew large crowds. In 2005 it ceased operations. Cobb wants to bring it back. The rodeo is seeking sponsorships to be put on at Shannondale Farms. The trail ride event is still in the planning phase, but is tentatively scheduled for Sept. 6. For more information, including ticket prices and dates, visit the Milton Saddle Club on Facebook or call Cobb at 770369-2733.
A large part of the Milton Rodeo is the “Miss Rodeo” pageant. Beth Kenward, 16, is one of the contenders.

Wedding gifting required? Roswell remembers lost 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

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. 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. For more on the Honeyfund, we made a wedding website – www.jonkelliewedding. com. Take a look.

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,

There was no glory in Roswell, only misery. 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.

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.

Invest with Confidence.
30 Years of Experience and FEE-BASED Personal Investment Strategies. Why “FEE-BASED”? Most brokers earn commission on the stocks and investments they make for you. That means if they don’t buy and sell, they make no money. So, the incentive is to generate commissions. Our incentive is ONLY to make your investments grow. Since we charge a flat fee, there is zero incentive for us to trade except for one single reason to increase the value of your investment. Fee-based financial consulting instead of commission based is the only approach that makes sense.

My entire life I have lived in Cumming Georgia. Eighteen years ago I decided to let Dave and Georgia Advisory Group handle all my business from finances to accounting to my estate planning. As a large land owner I needed estate work and trust work done. They handled every aspect and I not only feel great about where I’m at, but after I’m gone my grandkids, who are now clients, will know they are in great hands also. Mildred H. - Cumming
