NORTH FULTON – A new study shows North Fulton’s cities lead Georgia in leading economic growth factors new workers, employment and median income growth. Perhaps surprisingly Johns Creek was No. 1 among Georgia cities. Sandy Springs (No. 8), Roswell (No. 11) and Alpharetta (No. 13) also shone well, and taken as a group they provide convincing evidence for the economic strength of the region. The study, conducted by NerdWallet, looked at the growth in Georgia between 2009 and 2012 in three areas: working age population; employment growth; and median income growth. Johns Creek scored highest among Georgia cities (the score was based on 1/3 for each of the three categories. Growth among workingage residents in Johns Creek “blew the curve,” coming in at 39.1 percent over the four years of data studied. That translates into 17,000 new residents 16 and older who moved there during the years of the study. While Johns Creek showed zero employment growth, that was during the height of the recession when Georgia lost thousands of

Among North Fulton cities Alpharetta grew only 1.5 percent, which NerdWallet analyst Maggie Clark said was as much a factor of Alpharetta’s high median income it already possessed. “Cities on the rise are those that are showing growth in those three critical areas related to economic growth – worker population, employment growth and median income,” Clark said. “The audience for this study is the general consumer.

Dialing for help Dispatch officers recall stories of 911 By JONATHAN COPSEY jonathan@northfulton.com ROSWELL, Ga. – For most people, dialing 911 is ingrained in us from youth. When you are in danger or in need of help, call 911 and the cavalry will be arriving shortly. For the men and women who receive those calls, it’s a career, and a rewarding one at that. For Roswell, that pride stretches to the very creation of the dispatch center. Roswell operates its own 911 emergency dispatch, separate from any other city. The city has gone it alone since 1986 when 911 began in Roswell. “We were one of the first municipalities to have 911. We had it even before Atlanta,” said Susan Gifford, Roswell communications manager. “We’ve been technologically advanced for such a city of our size. “We are proud of our 911 center.” The center receives about 4,500 calls a month. Being a 911 communications officer is more than simply answering a phone. They need to know how to respond in all manner of emergencies while keeping a cool head. They are the first of the first responders, being the ones to first take in and control a situation, relaying that information to arriving police, firefighters of medical personnel. Gifford said gut instincts play a large

She recalled one call where a man reported his wife had shut her hand in a door, severely breaking it. “His tone of voice was off,” she said. So she sent police to the home as well as EMTs. What they found was the man was a wanted felon who had attacked his wife. “You always want to listen to your instinct,” she said. “Instinct cannot be replaced with an automated system.” As with any profession dealing with a general public, there are horror stories as well as comical travails.

Acclaimed choreographer Lauri Stallings brings public art event to Roswell ROSWELL, Ga. – Roswell Arts Renaissance, Inc. and a group of private citizens are bringing acclaimed choreographer Lauri Stallings and her dance group “glo” to Roswell for a participatory public art event on July 12 and 13. Through the medium of dance, the artists will provide a contemporary lens for understanding one of the most notorious events in Roswell’s history – the deportation of 400 women and children millworkers by Union troops 150 years ago. Wearing long silk dresses, about 16 dancers will lead the public in a migration from the Roswell Town Square to the historic mill site in Old Mill Park. European waltz music and jazz will transform the space as the migration proceeds down Mill Street to
culminate with a dance installation at the covered bridge. The event will begin at 4 p.m. on July 12 and 13, shortly after actors re-enact the arrest of the 400 millworkers, a separate event planned by Barrington Hall and the Roswell Convention and Visitors Bureau. Immediately after the July 13 installation, Stallings and RoAR will lead a public discussion by the covered bridge, addressing migration and vulnerability. Glo’s installation for Roswell is one of a series of public installations debuting in and around Atlanta in July 2014 with an overarching theme of community, culture and identity, and how we can change what is valued and how we value it.
Titled “Gestures That Soon Will Disappear,” the series will be filmed and on view at the Museum of Contemporary Art of Georgia in a nine-week exhibition starting in September. Roswellians will be invited to participate in public initiatives at the museum. The nonprofit Roswell Arts Renaissance, Inc. (RoAR) promotes and advances cultural and artistic expression in the Roswell community, with a keen emphasis on public art in all its forms. In the fall Stallings and Glo dancers will return to Roswell for a second phase of the project sponsored by RoAR. Dancers will perform a “mapping” on Canton Street and will offer three “educational exchanges” in Roswell schools. —Jonathan Copsey

Alpharetta Methodist collects 3.7 tons of Oreos Send cookies to military in Afghanistan ALPHARETTA, Ga. — Alpharetta First United Methodist Church has broken its record for collecting Oreos to send to military overseas. The church set a goal of two tons for its annual Operation Oreo cookie drive during the month of June. With help from the community, the church nearly doubled its goal, collecting 3.7 tons of cookies. “The pastors, staff and congregation of AFUMC thanks the community for an
outpouring of support,” said a church spokesperson. Alpharetta Methodist held the drive throughout June, culminating with a patriotic worship service June 29. Stacks of Oreo packages surrounded the altar. While the choir and orchestra played patriotic music and military veterans were recognized. The Oreos have been sent to military chaplains in Afghanistan who will help distribute them to service members stationed at forward operating bases Fentry and Gamberi, and at Shindand, Kandahar and Bagram Air Bases.

Yowell is only one of five in the nation to receive this honor to date this year. Roswell Fire Chief Ricky Spencer bestowed the “Life Saved Award” to Yowell, citing courage and expertise
in saving Warren, and Roswell Mayor Jere Wood and the City Council gave a standing ovation. In January, things went terribly wrong for Warren. Caught in a deadly recirculating hydraulic, Warren was losing consciousness and other rescue attempts, including a ropes team, proved unsuccessful. With time running out, Yowell raced toward the scene risking his own life to the suction and pull of the hydraulic currents in a valiant attempt to extract Warren. Yowell is an Eagle Scout with Troop 431 Roswell United Methodist Church. He has worked at the Robert Woodruff Scout Reservation several years where he lifeguards and teaches swimming, small boat sailing and whitewater kayaking. A junior at a private school in Atlanta, Yowell is a member of the Atlanta Junior Rowing Association crew team and the Ronald McDonald House Charity Board. —Shannon Weaver

911: Continued from Page 4 and city things call here.” What time does Trick-orTreat start? Why are traffic lights out? My Thanksgiving turkey is overcooked, what can I do? “Someone called 911 to rescue a trapped squirrel on Ga. 400,” Roswell Police Officer Zachary Frommer said. “They wanted an officer out there.” Calls come in about animals outside, he said. Snakes and bears in people’s yards. “People say, ‘but it’s my back yard,’ but we tell them animals belong outside,” he said. “It’s when they come into the house that it becomes a problem.” “I had a call from a local fast food restaurant at 11 p.m.,” said Michelle Schneider, another communications officer. “A guy had walked through the drive-thru. He was wearing a red hat. That was all he was wearing.” McNease said patients at mental facilities call repeatedly, as do many other “regulars” in the community and drunks late at night. “They just want to hear another human being’s voice,” she said. During 911 Education Month (April), the officers

will go to schools and talk to children about how to call 911 and what to do in emergencies. “You can always tell when kids had 911 education,” McNease said. “They call 911 just to check if it really works.” While they may laugh at some calls, the job is a serious one. Everything from injuries to car accidents to murders come though their phones. “A 6-year-old boy called. He said his momma and ‘g-momma’ were sick,” said Gifford. “He answered every question and helped get them ready for the EMT.” “Sometimes the kids are the easiest,” added Schneider. “They don’t panic like adults.” The dispatchers have to be able to respond to all sorts of situations, sometimes lifeand-death.
“I had a guy who wanted to commit suicide by dousing himself in gasoline,” McNease said. “Officers went out and I spoke with him while they responded. I probably saved his life. “You get that one call where you did make a difference,” she added. “If you give lifesaving instructions, it makes the job more rewarding.” Gifford said the department is short-staffed. Right now, there are three or four officers per shift. Ideally, she wants five. Some will be taking calls while others operate the police and fire radios. The department is hiring more officers and will have testing this month for potential recruits. See the sidebar for more information.
ROSWELL, Ga. – The city of Roswell is seeking a few good workers to fill out the city’s 911 dispatch center. Through recent retirements and now maternity leave, the dispatch ranks have thinned, necessitating some new hires. One testing date will be July 10. If needed, another will be set up. “We’re letting people show up with application in hand,” said Officer Zachary Frommer, with the Community Relations Unit. “We want to find the best candidates we can and streamline them in.” Right now, there are 13 communications officers and three support staff. Ideally, there will be 20 officers. Applicants must pass a background test, similar to a police officer application. Honesty and trust are a large part of this job. Frommer said about half of all applicants pass the background test. Working nights or weekends at the dispatch can fit in well with a student’s schedule. Frommer said the call volume varies, but there is a lot of down-time when homework can be worked on. “It’s a good job for someone in school,” said Frommer. “Some people do it as a stepping stone to being
a police officer.” He said many of the department’s best officers came through communications. They hit the road already knowing emergency codes and the layout of the city, leaving less training required. “You know how everything works,” he said. Workers need to be 18 to work in dispatch and 21 to be a police officer. “This is a good place to start.” Applicants must be 18 years old, be a U.S. citizen and have a high school diploma or equivalent. Testing is two to three hours of typing, map reading and multitasking quizzes. There is a written test and then an interview. “We can make you the greatest dispatcher,” Frommer said. “We are looking for the critical skills and attention to detail.” From 8-10 a.m. July 10, Roswell 911 will hold testing for applicants at 11565 Maxwell Road (across from the recycling center). Applications will be accepted after this date. For information or the job description, visit www. roswellgov.com/jobs or email rpdcareers@roswellgov.com.

Centennial High School media center goes digital Transforms into 21st century learning environment By KATHLEEN STURGEON kathleensturgeon@gmail.com ROSWELL, Ga. – Come August, students at Centennial High School will find that their media center has dramatically changed and so will be the way they use it. Centennial High School is in the process of completely renovating its media center making it more digital friendly. Many of the old encyclopedias and reference books will be gone. The change crystalized two years ago after Marie Yelvington, the media and educational technology instructor at Centennial High School, began having discussions with English teacher Scott Kent. “We’ve had this running conversation about the direction for media centers and media specialists, and it started with that conversation,” said Yelvington. Then she attended a media conference where the speaker shared ideas for turning media centers into digital media centers that use databases from all over the world. “It sort of steamrolled from there,” she said. But Yelvington’s idea would have never gotten off the ground until
After the trip, we let the kids brainstorm and our idea evolved and became more of what they wanted too. It was very much a collaborative effort.” MARIE YELVINGTON Technology Instructor at Centennial High School

Centennial was given a Fulton County grant for $190,000. The grant came during the transition of Cohort 1 schools to the charter school system. The grants allowed schools to do what each thinks will best improve their school. Yelvington’s friend Kent, with whom she had bounced around ideas, was now on Centennial’s governance council. The two came up with the idea of revamping the media center and present-

The idea took off and was well received by the council, but Yelvington says the credit has to be shared by many. “It’s a combination of a lot of things – what I saw at that conference, what I see in magazines and research that I’ve done,” said Yelvington. “What I think is
unique about us is the way we came up with this idea.” Yelvington formed a team consisting of parents, four students and an administrator to go on a field trip to see what cutting-edge media centers were doing.

Longtime Roswell resident shares Goulding Place memories Street attracts new development By KRISTINA BAK kristina@northfulton.com ROSWELL, Ga. — At a young age, Grace Withers played on her street, rode horses and bought Coca-Cola for 5 cents at the corner store. Withers, now in her 80s, was one of the early residents at the now historic Goulding Place just off Canton Street in uptown Roswell. “The day we moved, we carried some of the things up the hill,” said Withers, who now lives at Elmcroft Senior Living Communities in Roswell. “We enjoyed living in that home very much.” When she learned 109 Goulding Place was sold, she recalled the years her family spent in the home. The home, which sits on
16 acres, was sold in May for nearly $6 million and will be developed by Front Door Communities into a subdivision. Front Door Communities plans to build Goulding Village, which will include upscale single-family homes as well as townhomes, keeping with the look of historic Roswell. Withers retold the story of when her father, James Isaac Wright, bought the home and later modernized it in the early 1940s for what was then the princely sum of $5,000. When her family moved into the now historic home, she was just a teenager. The home had a well on the porch, and indoor bathrooms and outside columns had not been added. Withers’ father is credited with donating the land for Roswell’s first park, Waller Park. He also built the first swimming pool in the city. Until then, they would have to travel to Chastain Park to swim.

“That was the closest swimming pool,” said Withers. All of her neighbors had big families, so Withers and her siblings had plenty of friends to play with outdoors into the evening. The children would play together in the street, she said. Games like kick the can and froggy in the mill pond were popular, she said. “We weren’t afraid of cars,” said Withers, “because they hardly ever came along.” She recounted how all the families put in money to build a tennis court, so the people on the street had a place to play near the history home. The family owned several dogs, cats and two horses. Withers said she and her siblings enjoyed riding the horses. During that time, the big family names in the area were the Donahues, the Colemans and the Wrights, she recalled. Her father ran a Chevrolet car dealership for 27 years. Roswell children went to a school on Mimosa Boulevard (now the Teaching Museum North) that held classes for first through ninth grade. Milton High School in Alpharetta served Roswell too, and there were only 11 grades in those days. She can remember when Ga. 400 was first paved. Her father, the adventurous type, drove up and down the highway before the public was allowed, she said. Withers graduated from high school cum laude. She graduated from Bessie Tift College, north of Macon (it closed in 1987). She met her husband, William Hoyt Withers in Macon. “We had been to church and he was walking me home and he thought he’d hold my

Their reception was held in the dining room of the Goulding Place home. Withers and her husband then moved to Louisville, Kentucky, to finish graduate school, studying religious education. The couple had four children: Dale, Jane, Jean and Cathy. She now has eight grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren. While living at Goulding Place, the family started many traditions that Withers and her immediate family maintain to this day. The family gathers for a Christmas party, where the whole family sings together.
The family also gathers in Augusta each year to celebrate her father’s birthday. In 1952, she and her husband moved back to Roswell and worked as teachers in area schools. Withers was a teacher for 32 years. After retiring, she became a substitute teacher for about 15 years while volunteering at what is today North Fulton Hospital. “I wish I was still doing that,” said Withers about volunteering. She was a volunteer at the hospital for 20 years. Withers’ husband passed when he was 60 years old in 1986. At the time, they had been married for 37 years. When asked about what she thinks of 109 Goulding Place now, Withers said, “It’s always home to me.”

PROTECT PETS FROM SNAKEBITE »
Protect your pet from snakes
Pets, snakes don’t mix in any circumstance Summer weather perfect for snakes By CAROLYN RIDDER ASPENSON carolyn@northfulton.com CUMMING, Ga. — Jamie Thayer knows more about snakes than she would 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 bitten outside of Thayer’s home 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. 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 and 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 snakebites must be attended to, no matter the age of the snake.” Copperheads and water moccasins are the most venomous snakes in the state, and bites are common from late spring to early fall. Copperheads reach about 22 inches to 36 inches long and have a diamond shaped pattern on their bodies. They can be found in wooded, swampy areas, near pines and water. Water moccasins, some-

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 snakebites require stitches or other treatment, even if they’re not venomous.” Itkin said since April, they’ve treated about 20 dogs for snakebites. “We had six over the weekend a few weeks ago,” he said. “The weather brings them out, but if there’s a food source,
they’re going to go to it, regardless of where it is.” Thayer said Jesse’s leg turned black, and treatment included antibiotics, Epson salt soaks and rest. “We had to help him stand to go potty, because his leg was in such bad shape,” she said. She said her vet didn’t recommend anti-venom treatment for Jesse 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 dog’s health and age. “If a dog is not in good health, or has underlying health issues, certain treat-

Thayer said Jesse is an inside dog, and since the bite, she is more careful when she’s out with him. “We stay away from ivy, and don’t walk too late at night anymore,” she said.

North Fulton is definitely growing and their incomes are up as well,” she said. A “rising city” designation is something from the purelynumbers standpoint that tells city planners and local administrators that they are growing, that they are a favored destination and should plan for that. It is a designation that these North Fulton cities are pleased to have. Johns Creek Mayor Mike Bodker said he was excited to see his city at the top of the list. “We’ve always known this is a place people want to come,” Bodker said. “Yes, it does show a lot of interest in all North Fulton. What the survey doesn’t show is South Forsyth. Its growth is very similar to North Fulton. All the factors that made us as a region great are present in South Forsyth – schools are competitive with us now for example.

state, you see just how good you are. “It is great to be validated that you’re doing the right thing. Roswell made a conscious decision to become more business-friendly during this recession. I see this as a confirmation that our work is paying off,” Wood said. But Wood also acknowledged that all of the cities in North Fulton are “blessed” to be in a great location. “The fact that all of these cities are doing well is also due to the fact that we are all helping each other. Whether you work in one city or another, live where you do, it is the concentration of good schools and good opportunities. That really makes this region a great spot,” Wood said. “It’s not a surprise, it’s a confirmation.” Bodker echoed much the same theme.
“The Greater North Fulton Chamber of Commerce got it right through its Progress Partners North Fulton when they said we have to develop the region as six distinct cities – but one region,” Bodker said. Then people who come to North Fulton can look at the different personalities of the individual cities works for them. “It’s easier to choose North Fulton over Gwinnett or South Fulton when you’re selling the region,” he said. Analyst Clark said what they see as cities “rise” with new population growth and new opportunities, city leaders look ahead. “What we see in these fastgrowing cities is a second stage of development where city leaders want to create a downtown space for people to come together – kind of a walkable, pedestrian-friendly city center,”

Halyard Health Inc., is a spin-off from health giant Kimberly-Clark. The announcement came that the new company headquarters would be based near Kimberly-Clark’s Roswell campus, in neighboring Alpharetta. Incoming CEO of Halyard, Robert Abernathy, said the decision was made to stay close to the Roswell campus of Kimberly-Clark. “Alpharetta allows us to stay close to the community and reduces the impact of a commute on our employees,” Abernathy said. “We have been in this area for over 30 years and are proud to be part of the community here in Georgia.” Halyard will set up shop in a 240,872-square foot vacant building on the corner of Windward parkway and Westside Parkway, close to the intersection with Ga. 400.

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.

Annual free dentistry event draws 200 patients ALPHARETTA, Ga. — A dental practice provided $69,000 in free dental services to about 215 patients. On June 28, Jones Bridge Dental Care, 11925 Jones Bridge Road, provided hundreds of patients — many who arrived a day early — with free treatment. Dentist and owner Leo Yelizarov along with 11 other dentists and 71 volunteers provided over $69,000 in free dentistry for 215 patients. “We don’t need to go too far to find people who are in desperate need of our services,” said Yelizarov. Six years ago, Yelizarov started the event that has now helped about 1,000 patients and donated over $323,000 in dental work. Yelizarov said he hopes other dentists will volunteer and hold similar events. “If we help those close to us, other people will do the same and our efforts will multiply,” Yelizarov said. The next free dentistry day is anticipated to be in June 2015. For more information, visit www.JBDfromtheHeart.org.

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-

The perfect fit – For your ears and your world Our computers. Our cell phones. Our cars. Our homes. Our own bodies. The marvels of technology have allowed us to be “connected” to the tools we use in our daily lives, and depending on the decade you were born in, refuse to live without. As the world around us continues becoming more “tech” oriented, should not our ability to hear at a high level of detail keep up as well? If you find yourself “missing” some of this detail you are not alone. 36 million Americans experience hearing challenges in various environments and situations. This group is clearly at a disadvantage when communicating in this “new world”.

Dr. Woodward and the Johns Creek Audiology and
Hearing Center offers patients not only improved day to day communication, but also the solutions to those challenging listening environments. These include restaurants, group meeting rooms, phone communication, and yes, that age old argument between spouses on the “correct” loudness of the television volume. With the invention of wireless connections such as Bluetooth, Dr. Woodward can “plug” patients directly into the audio of a phone, a TV, a computer, or any other device patients may need to use throughout the day. You can now use the phone that is ALREADY in your pocket or purse to fine tune your hearing to fit the various situations you encounter. Also, you can make or receive calls and stream your music straight to your hearing devices! As for phone calls, Johns Creek Audiology can provide the optimal solution resulting in a very clear conversation in both ears simultaneously without fidget-
ing with the placement of the phone and without feedback from your hearing device while trying to talk! Extended wear, invisible to others, and no batteries to change! THE FUTURE IS NOW!

able. JCA is also offering complimentary ‘Summer’ hearing aid cleanings and inspections. Please call (770)814-

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.

(NAPSI)—A nightmare common among parents with school-age children is one your family can avoid. The Problem A notice comes home from school about an outbreak of head lice. Head lice infestation is the most frequent health issue (after the common cold) facing children ages 3 to 11, with 12 million cases reported in the U.S. annually. A growing number of “lice clinics” have opened across the country, but with the right information and new innovations in treatment, parents can also address the problem at home. Expert Advice Anna Warren, owner of the Asheville Lice Treatment Center in North Carolina, advises school nurses, teachers and parents on how to respond in the case of an outbreak. Warren says these five facts and tips can help you save time, worry and money, not to mention the misuse of potentially harmful pesticides. • Today’s pesticide-based products have become largely ineffective. Lice have developed resistance to many of the over-the-counter treatments that have been around for years and in certain areas of the country, these “super lice” are the norm.

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 com-
mon 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.

More restful sleep may be in your future Do you lose sleep due to snoring? Does your partner lose sleep due to your snoring? Do you wake up tired in the morning? Snoring is a serious condition and can be an early warning sign of sleep apnea. An estimated 160 million people are affected by snoring and many of them suffer from obstructive sleep apnea. Lack of sleep places undue stress on your heart and other major organs. Untreated Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) can lead to heart attacks, strokes and excessive daytime sleepiness. More than 100,000 people are killed or injured each year in crashes attributed to a driver who has fallen asleep at the wheel. Sufficient sleep is fundamental to your overall health and wellness. Dr. Dan Myers of The Cosmetic Dentistry Center of Alpharetta has made treatment of this serious condition a priority. A sleep study by your physician would be recommended to determine the severity of the condition. The appropriate oral appliance or a CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure) machine would be suggested for treatment. There are other approved types of oral devices that can give you relief and from snoring and eliminate sleep apnea. Contact Dr. Myers at 678.293.8758 for a complimentary consultation.

Skaters:
COMMUNITY
Continued from Page 1 gional Championships, which will be held in late September and early October this year at The Cooler, 10800 Davis Drive in Alpharetta. For many who plan on competing at the championships, this is the perfect chance to check out the facility. At the competition, many got to meet some well-known ice skaters. Pairs bronze medalist at the 2002 World Figure Skating Championships John Zimmerman, who is a coach in Florida, was spotted at The Cooler during the event. Another recognizable figure was Timothy Dolensky, who skates at The Cooler and was the 2012 U.S. Junior Men Silver Medalist. The event is a way for skaters to see what Atlanta Figure Skating and the community has to offer. AFSC and The Cooler give many of their skaters a sense of local community and, through events like this, a broader sense of the skating community, said Jessica Gregory, a member of the AFSC. “It’s really fun and you get to meet a lot of new people,” said Gregory, who competed in compulsory jumps and dramatic showcase. Competitions like this rely heavily on the support of volunteers. While Gregory was competing, her mother, Fran Gregory, was volunteering for the AFSC. Many help by supplying food for coaches and judges, and others help with paperwork, music and announcing awards. The majority of volunteers are parents of skaters and some are skaters themselves. Even the younger generation gets involved by volunteering to run paperwork, results and music to their destination. For more information, visit www.atlantafigureskating.com.

Roswell remembers lost millworkers 150 years later
Wedding gifting required? 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
JONATHAN COPSEY
Editor jonathan@northfulton.com
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. For more on the Honeyfund, we made a wedding website – www.jonkelliewedding.com. Take a look.
“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 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.

Roswell grad wins Judson Collegiate tourney Moxness captures Legends title in 2-hole playoff ROSWELL, Ga. – The final round of the Judson Collegiate and Legends Pro-Am Challenge concluded June 30, with a dominant performance from Jessica Haigwood, a 2013 graduate of Roswell High School. The first-year collegiate golfer with Georgia Regents University-Augusta won the tournament with a 7-underpar score for three days. She won by nine strokes over her nearest competitors, Samantha Postillion (Burr Ridge, Illinois) of University of Illinois and Zoe Brake (Whakatane, New Zealand) of Ohio State, who finished tied for second at plus-2. This was the third year that the Legends Tour, the Official Senior Tour of the LPGA, joined the Judson Collegiate Invitational Foundation for the Judson Collegiate and Legends Pro-Am Challenge, presented by AT&T. The golf event was held June 27-30 at the Country Club of Roswell, showcasing the talents of 60 collegiate women golfers alongside 30 LPGA Legends professionals. Barb Moxness (Edina, Minneapolis) earned her second career win on the Legends Tour on Saturday, June 28, in a two-hole playoff. She edged two-time defending Judson champion Alicia Dibos (Lima, Peru). Both Moxness and Dibos carded scores of 3-under 68 in regulation in the 18-hole tournament held at the Country Club of Roswell. Both Legends players matched birdies on the first playoff hole, the parfive 18th, and returned to No. 18 for the second extra hole. Moxness birdied the second playoff hole to win the tournament.

New Jersey, Sweden’s Liselotte Neumann and Rosie Jones of Atlanta tied for third at 1-under 70. “It’s been about 10 years since I last won, so this is a real treat,” said Moxness, who had her youngest son, Tim, on her bag as caddie for the event. “I made some really good par putts today to keep the momentum going.” She won $15,000 for the title. The event is managed by the Judson Collegiate Invitational Foundation Inc. (JCI Foundation), which honors the memory of former Roswell residents, Jim and Beth Judson, who died in an airplane accident in 2010. This year, the Judson Women’s Leadership Workshop was expanded to provide additional mentorship opportunities for young women. More than 300 attendees participated in the Women’s Leadership
Workshop at the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel in Roswell on June 26. The Judson Collegiate and Legends Pro-Am Challenge annually offers a unique format, with three golf events in one.

Making a difference in your local community Forsyth Herald | July 9, 2014
An interview with Chef Woolery Back During my research, I spent time with several farmers, chefs and entrepreneurs to find out how the farm-totable movement is progressing on the ground. I’d like to share my conversation with Woolery “Woody” Back, the head chef at Table & Main in Roswell, as we discussed the local movement and its importance to a healthier lifestyle. What was your reaction to having a garden available to use on your menu? Back: Sarah Buchanan started the garden before I got there when she used to work at Table & Main, but when I got there, it hadn’t been taken care of and just had a few straggling tomatoes. But I was really excited about ways we could use the garden in our kitchen. It’s not a mainstay on the menu – I can’t say, “This is our salad that we grew out back.” What can happen is like today, we took these arugula pods out this morning, and we’ll do something small with it. I’m thinking about a caper pickle on it and we’ll put it on the menu somewhere. That garden can’t support our menu, but we can have a veg plate here and there that can come from our garden. Former Table & Main Sous Chef Chase Todaro joins the conversation. With all the noise about GMOs, organic and local food, what should customers focus on with their food products? Back: The more local, the better. If they use GMOs, you know, it’s not really the end of the world. They don’t have to be organic. Some of these small farmers only make like $27,000 a year. And to get organic certified is several thousand dollars. So a lot of them are doing the organic thing; they’re just not certified. So I think the more local, the better, because you sustain the community. We buy from Lionheart Schools, a school for children with autism. They have a small farm at their place, and we buy radishes, turnips and greens from them. I’ve been buying from the Little Apple market around the corner as well. So I try to keep it as local as possible.

TABLE AND MAIN:
HEIDI GELDHAUSER
The biggest farm we buy from is Buckeye Creek. They’re kind of like a co-op farm, so they’re a central farm and they pull from all of their neighbors. One neighbor’s a beet farmer, one neighbor’s a corn farmer, the other neighbor’s a goat farmer and they bring in goat’s milk, so they’re a central community around that farm. What are the biggest challenges the farm-to-table movement faces? Back: I just read an article in the New York Times by Dan Barber asking where has farm-to-table gone wrong. He wrote about how he was basically bleeding this guy of broccoli and pea shoots for his menu without thinking about how the farmer was going to supply it all on a small farm. He was saying the popularity has taken off, but it really hasn’t taken off in a sustainable way. Corn and soybeans are still the biggest crops in the world, and they’re still plowing more fields in the Midwest to make room for this; so we’re still in a losing battle for farm-to-table right now. And this has been going on for 10 years. If you could grow five items regardless of climate, what would those five crops be? Back: Pull beans, corn, mustard greens, turnips and beets. —James Carr
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.

Centennial: Continued from Page 11
“After the trip, we let the kids brainstorm and our idea evolved and became more of what they wanted too. It was very much a collaborative effort,” she said. The initial idea for a media center overhaul was sparked from what Yelvington witnessed in her day-to-day observations working in the Centennial High School media center. “When students would do research, they used the databases for the non-fiction much more than they would go get a book off the shelf,” said Yelvington. “Our students are very good. We push the databases and they use them. Instead of going to get an encyclopedia off the shelf, they would look it up on the computer.” This observation made Yelvington realize that the way her students learn is evolving and she needed to keep pace. “The way students are learning is changing,” said Yelvington. “We need to keep up with the students and what they’re doing. We realized they don’t need to be sitting here
with a book when that’s not what they’ll be doing five years from now. “It’s not that books are bad, and it’s not that the old way of teaching is bad,” she said. “People are simply doing things in different ways now.” The updated media center will feature plenty of space for students to work on group projects, updated databases and a room for distance learning. Additionally, students and teachers will have access to resources including a 3D printer and a poster maker. One thing will not change, however. Yelvington said they will be keeping half of their print books, mostly the fiction collection. “I still love the feel of a book,” said Yelvington. So she is not getting rid of books – far from it. She says students and teachers make incredible use of the media center, and will continue to do so. “But I think it’ll be a different way of learning,” she said. “The students are really excited and when you can get that kind of excitement from a high school student, then it can only be for the good.”

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.
