Milton to tackle conservation ordinance Special meeting Aug. 20 on issue By JONATHAN COPSEY jonathan@appenmediagroup.com MILTON, Ga. – The Milton City Council will tackle Aug. 20 the ongoing question of conservation subdivisions. At a special meeting on a Thursday, the council and staff will address outstanding issues and details of the proposed ordinance. A conservation subdivision is a development that allows the builder to condense homes on a smaller amount of property in order to preserve more green space than the law typically allows. The idea is this would keep more of the city “green” than would otherwise be possible. The city has been working on the conservation subdivision ordinance (CSO) for over a

Milton’s ‘Great Wall’ is no more Local Cogburn Road landmark goes to make way for redevelopment By HATCHER HURD hatcher@appenmediagroup.com MILTON, Ga. — The 300-foot “Great Wall” on Cogburn Road
that had been a landmark – if not an eyesore – for many years met with the developer’s wrecking ball last week. The wall and house on the 3.55-
acre property have been demolished to make way for three single-family homes. Drew Nietzer is one of the partners in the redevelopment project. He was out inspecting the demolition of the property

Fulton’s vaccination is just over 98 percent, which mirrors the statewide compliance rate of 98.3 percent for public schoolchildren. “Vaccination is one of the most effective ways to protect children and adults against many common infectious diseases,” said Nancy Nydam, media relations manager for the Georgia Department of Public Health. “Vaccines are

ROSWELL, GA. — The K-9 officers of the Roswell Police Department received a cool gift July 31, when the staff of Atlanta Home Theater presented them with cooling vests and their officers with thermometers. Atlanta Home Theater owners Scott and Jennifer Ross and their operations team presented the vests to Roswell Police Chief Rusty Grant. The couple said they felt compelled to make a difference in the community when one of their team members was present when Roswell police officers rescued an overheated dog that was trapped inside a hot car. The team member witnessed the officer purchasing a temperature gauge with his own money. This team member shared the incident with the Atlanta Home Theater crew The decision was made to donate brand-new temperature gauges for all the day officers to determine the internal temperatures of vehicles in which dogs are trapped. In addition, Atlanta Home Theater opted to provide cooling vests, which will be used to sooth the working K-9 dogs and can be dispatched for cooling overheated dogs being rescued. The cooling vests are made to hold water and can be filled on-site. In addition, the Atlanta Home Theater team decided to purchase YETI coolers for those K-9 units to keep the vests cool all the time. These vests can also be used for overheated cats and even children, if needed. “It is a well-invested $2,000 for a

Fool me twice, shame on me MILTON, Ga. — A Milton resident was the victim of two scams, costing him nearly $13,000. The victim told police Aug. 6 that he received a call from someone claiming to be with the IRS and asking for money. The victim hung up, not believing the person. Later, the victim was called by the San Jose Police Department. The detective on the other end claimed the victim owed almost $9,000 to be paid to Chase Bank or he would be arrested. The victim believed the caller and sent off the check. After that, the victim received yet another call, this time from Madison, Georgia, police claiming the check he sent to California had not gone
through and he would be arrested if he did not pay. So the victim went to a local CVS and got three money orders to send to the Madison police. He then called Chase Bank, which advised the initial $9,000 check had indeed gone through. All the calls were scams and the victim lost $12,950.
Tax prepper accused of theft ALPHARETTA, Ga. — A tax preparer is under suspicion of stealing hundreds of dollars from customers. On Aug. 3, an Alpharetta victim told police his personal information was used to falsely file taxes. He said he filed his 2013 taxes with a Norcross company. He was told he would get $1,200 back. He was asked to meet his preparer, Tristan Rodney Hazelton, 26, of Lawrenceville, in Feb. 2014 at a location away from their offices to receive his refund, but was told Hazelton had placed the money in his own account and that, really, the refund was closer to $800.
In August of this year, the victim was contacted by Gwinnett police who said Hazelton was under investigation for stealing refunds. The victim’s actual refund was supposed to be $2,500.

Alpharetta approves new conference center, hotel Comes with hotel tax increase By JONATHAN COPSEY jonathan@appenmediagroup.com ALPHARETTA, Ga. — In a 5-2 vote, the Alpharetta City Council approved a new public-private partnership with Avalon owners North American Properties for a new hotel and conference center. They also approved a corresponding hotel tax increase to help pay for the venture. The vote came at their Aug. 10 meeting. “This is going to have an enormous impact on Alpharetta,” said Jim Stormont, of Stormont Hospitality Group, the developers of the hotel and conference center. He predicted the hotel could be open as soon as 28 months from that night - with an opening in the fall of 2017. The deal gives Alpharetta what city officials have asked for - a conference center that can act as a regional draw and meet the needs of a growing city. The $107 million complex at the Avalon development includes a grand “Hotel Avalon” - to be part of the Marriott Autograph series of hotels -- and luxury amenities. The full-service hotel will have 325 rooms. The conference center, which would be attached, would have 65,000 square feet in total space, 44,000 of which is meeting space. It would also
have a 10,000-square-foot ballroom. The project would be a part of Avalon Phase 2, which would also include more retail, office and residential space. Alpharetta will use bond monies and an increase in the hotel-motel tax levied in the city to pay for nearly $25 million of the project. The developers would pick up the rest. Councilmember D.C. Aiken was not impressed by the prospect of using the tax increase to pay for the bond, claiming another economic downturn could harm the city’s ability to make back its money. “This is not risk-free,” said Aiken. “Are we in any liability over the next five years? The answer is yes.” However, he also had criti-

cism over bond money being issued for such a project without going to the public for a referendum. “If it is such a great idea… why not put it to a vote with the people?” he asked. “If it is such a great thing, it should be fine.” Jim Gilvin was the only other councilmember to join Aiken in his dissent of the proposal. Their fellow councilmember,
Donald Mitchell, thought the risk was worth it. “Nothing good comes without risk,” said Mitchell. “This will be a regional and statewide destination for our citizens who will reap the benefits for years to come.” Mayor David Belle Isle was equally excited. “It’s going to be an amazing facility and will help Alpharetta lead the way in terms of industry and technology,” he said.

Alpharetta approved a new conference center and hotel at their Aug. 10 meeting. It is expected to be finished in late 2017.

A suspected drunk driver caused power lines to fall across Milton Avenue Aug. 11, after she struck a utility pole.
Drunk driver shuts down Milton Ave. ALPHARETTA, Ga. – A portion of Milton Avenue in downtown Alpharetta was closed for much of the day Tuesday, Aug. 11, after a suspected drunk driver hit a utility pole. According to city officials, the incident happened about 5 a.m. The suspect, identified as a 21-year-old Woodstock woman, was on her way to work. She lost control of her Honda Accord and struck the power pole, causing the pole and live power lines to fall over
the road. She was taken to a nearby hospital with minor injuries. Milton Avenue was closed for much of the day west of Roswell / Canton Street near the former Milton High School campus as utility crews repaired the damage. City officials say the woman smelled of alcohol and admitted to drinking several beers before she drove. The road was reopened about 4 p.m. —Jonathan Copsey

TALKING FUNNY »
Toastmasters host humorous storytelling contest By CAMERON OSBURN news@appenmediagroup.com ALPHARETTA, Ga. - The Alpharetta Toastmasters held its humorous speech contest Aug. 5 at the Kroger near Windward Parkway. The speakers were vying for the honor of representing the Alpharetta club at the area contest. Five speakers participated in the humorous speech contest while another four attendees took part in an evaluation contest. The humorous speech portion involved each speaker telling funny stories for five minutes. The evaluation contest took place after the last humorous speaker finished. The winner of the humorous contest, Giavanna Tyler, gave a speech called, “It’s been a rough, but comical, 12 years,” in which she detailed numerous funny experiences she’s had since getting divorced 12 years ago. One involved going on a first date
with a guy who listed his appearance on an online profile as being 6-foot-5 with an athletic build. When she met him, she said, he was very skinny everywhere except his “basketball for a stomach.” Another story Tyler told the group was of yet another first date, when the guy proposed. She jokingly said yes, after which her date took out a stack of papers for her to sign. Tyler said she draws her motivation from her daughter. “Showing her that you can overcome anything is big for me,” she said, “because she has seen me go through a lot of things in the past.” The winner of the evaluation contest was Mike Tominiyi. He gave the final humorous speaker praise for having great body language and vocal variety. He offered the speaker, who was actually making his first speech to the club, a tip on improving his eye contact with the audience. “You tend to have your

eyes wander to the ground,” he said. “I have that same problem, except I look to the ceiling. “Like the answers are magically going to be written up there,” he joked. Dianne Koskey, president of the Alpharetta Toastmasters, was happy with the event. “We had fantastic participation and a lot of fun during
Wednesday’s humorous speech and evaluation contest,” she said. “It’s inspiring to have so many members dedicated to growing in the area of public speaking.” The mission of Toastmasters is to provide a mutually supportive and positive learning environment in which each individual has the opportunity to develop oral communication

LETTER TO THE EDITOR »
How to get your school Three simple reasons gone: news in the newspaper safety, quiet and horses “Rural” means country life and tranquility; “tranquility” means peacefulness and quiet. In 1978, my parents bought acreage here for three reasons; safety, quiet and horses. It was wonderful biking, listening to barn owls at dusk and riding our horses. With growth constant, the City of Milton incorporated in 2005 to “embrace small town life….while preserving... our rural character.” A horse was the official seal with claims of being an “equestrian community.” As wheels turned, we realized that our reasons carried little weight with double standards common. Safety for open road neighborhood residents is not priority. With zero fatalities, council agreed to privatize Club Creek Drive going against the city’s comprehensive plan’s push for connectivity; “safety” was the reason. Bethany Road, which has suffered three fatalities in recent years and is home to over 40 families, has been written off by the city as a “thoroughfare.” City staff stated measures used to curb speeds aren’t allowed due to the amount of traffic endured leaving us with no solution. An officer recently wrote a ticket for 94 mph in our 40mph zone. In 2005, the Fulton School Board opened the new 70-acre, $100 million dollar Milton High School while extending sewer and forcing seven families out. Since then, noise pollution is constant on our acreage and within our homes from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m., leading to health problems, making us prisoners within. The barn owls are gone. Council and the Board of Education staff suggested if we can’t handle it, move. Council’s ear was for more attune regarding Montana’s Bar and Grill noise pollution issue. The newer Cambridge High sits on less than sixty acres and Milton
High has been a “school of excellence” since 1996. After our horse Liberty was shot with paint balls and fireworks were thrown into her pastures, an “investigation” transpired. Even with witnesses and evidence, nothing happened. A council member suggested moving her off the property. Investigators stated that if the offenders wanted to shoot fireworks, they should do it off the back of their property and ignore neighbors. I was never allowed to present “Liberty’s Law,” a proposed ordinance which would protect horses from abuse and harassment, to council. Since then, one horse has died and others injured due to fireworks. There are no plans for equestrian facilities in the city for the next five years, and no actions have been taken by the city encouraging horse owners to move here. Conservation Subdivisions should be an incentivized option only. Suburbia now covers over half the city. Numerous farms have fallen. Our lifestyle was stolen from us through no fault of our own. We should be allowed to be made whole elsewhere and make the most off of our property as others have. Violating the 14th Amendment will bring lawsuits. Council passed “The Rural View Shed” stating property cannot be disturbed 40 feet in. Affected residents weren’t consulted. Some question the legality. No more land grabs. Remaining land owners will decide what comes. If you want us to stay, support equality and our voice. Image without substance is a façade. Our lifestyle is not a carnival attraction. Don’t treat us like one. Tim Enloe, Milton
It’s back-to-school time and there is so much going on it is hard to keep up with it all. What with scholarships, student recognitions, awards and such, the School News section of the newspaper really picks up. Now the first thing to know is we love for you - the schools of North Fulton, media specialists, teachers and parents of students - to send us items you think would be appropriate. If you are not sure, just send it anyway. The first thing to remember is we like to print your school news. So I am going to tell you how easy it can be. First, understand we receive hundreds of emails a week, many of them with messages people want to get into the newspaper. So we invite everyone with articles, notices, stories or other items of news interest to simply email them to news@appenmediagroup.com and we will evaluate them and place them in the school news queue to run. (Here’s a secret: That also works for any other kind of news you want in the newspaper.) Notes on emailing us We like to receive your news ready to copy and paste into our school news files. Some people simply email us an e-flyer with good graphics and the dates and times of the pertinent event. We cannot
run these flyers because they take up too much space, among other reasons. So WE must convert them from flyer-speak into news copy. This takes time. Time is a luxury we seldom are allowed to enjoy. So flyers go to the “Wait Pile.” The Wait Pile is that stuff we would like to rewrite and put in the newspaper if we have time (see paragraph above). Other emails come in crisp and in complete sentences that tell us concisely who, where, when, why and what they are about. Maybe a debate team has won a tournament, and the email features a few sentences and a photo of the team with IDs of the team members. This goes into the “Ready Pile.” If you are smart, you will send us items that will go straight to the Ready Pile. These items usually get in the newspaper first. We don’t have eyes and ears to be everywhere. But we can give space to people who act as our eyes and ears. So we really want to hear from you. A word about photos: They are worth 1,000 words to us, and even more if you cut the photo out and send it to Grandma. So we love photos emailed to us. But it takes some savvy on the sender’s part. They must

School boards have no sympathy for grandparents If you have stopped to read in this space before, you should know I have long railed against this new practice of starting school a month before Labor Day. It robs our children of the pleasures and wonders of an unadulterated summer vacation. It gives children that most precious commodity – and the one most squandered by the young – time. But what I have not so far expounded upon – but will do so presently – is how unfair it is for those other people at the other end of the spectrum. I’m talking about all those grandparents who also look forward to the end of school so their grandchildren can come for a visit. The best part of my summers was the exciting two-day car trip from central Texas to Georgia to my grandparents’ house. That was marvelous in its own right. Why, I would actually stand in five different states (and pee in three of them ). These were things I
could brag about. The shoe is on the other foot now. It’s me who looks forward to my grandsons’ summer hiatus from lower education so they can come spend time with me. Only I find I must act quickly to find a place on their dance card. It doesn’t help that their mother is like the program director of a cruise ship. “Well, this week they have play dates with Frick and then with Frack. And then I have to take them shopping because none of their summer clothes fit. Yes I could work you in, how does next Thursday afternoon sound?” I am informed. I thought now that they are a little older, they might like to take a few field trips with their sainted Papa. Oh, I know I am no longer the fount of all wisdom they thought I was when multiplication was a mystery to them and addition and subtraction a skill still barely mastered. They would ask me questions to the point of exhaustion – like why

Maybe take an afternoon and build a kite to fly. Trips to the beach were always filled with nature’s wonders. Now that they are older, it would be even more fun. But the dad-burn school board, in cahoots with the state educators, has decided it would be better to cut short summer vacation and sprinkle the days out in drips and drabs. Those short rations don’t give a grandparent a
fighting chance. There’s baseball practice (remember when it was a spring sport?) and football to deal with. Two more thieves of time, although they do suffer us to go to the games. But where is the time alone with them? Don’t they know how much we would spoil them? Well, maybe that’s the wrong tack. They are already about as spoiled as a garbage scow at the equator. They look upon being spoiled as a right guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution. I think it is somewhere between “No State shall Coin Money” and “shall not pass any Bill of Attainder.” Spoilage is a grandparent’s privilege anyway. If you can’t spoil the grandkids, what’s the point of having children? But eight weeks is a short summer vacation for the average youngster to cram in a week at camp, an ungodly spate of birthday parties and of course the “family” vacation that does not include us. Then there are all kinds of
other distractions – ice cream parties, overnights, trips with other families, no less – and the eight weeks are spent. So Papa and Mimi are like the kids next door with their noses poking through the fence, staring at the party to which they were not invited. If we could but have a small slice of August, say just two more weeks, then how could they deny us a little “quality time” with the boys? And as middle schoolers, the boys are really quite useful now. I could get one of them to teach me how to use this stupid smartphone (contradiction in terms intended), Then maybe I could text the little varmints, or Facebook’em. But not tweet. I never tweet. (If you tweet doesn’t that make you a twit?) But I know what they would say if I asked for help with all this “social” media. They’d say, “Just think about that for a while and see if you can find the answer.” Reap what you sow.

Career academy: better option for some Talks have begun on building a career academy in Forsyth County. This nontraditional high school would provide students the opportunity to get hands-on, real-world experience before earning their high school diplomas. Superintendent Dr. Jeff Bearden said the reason many students drop out of school is because they don’t find what they’re learning in high school to be relevant to their daily lives. With this new school offering courses such as law enforcement or hospitality, students will be able to see their hard work pay off, literally and figuratively. The prevailing opinion, locally and otherwise, seems to suggest that high-school grads who don’t go to college and graduate will be failures and amount to nothing. This just doesn’t make sense
as many students don’t want to or need to go to college to achieve their goals and be productive members of society. Students who can graduate from high school with valuable skills and go straight into the workforce will still be vital to our society, even without spending up to four years of their lives and paying thousands of dollars to earn college degrees. The topic of student loans comes up often when talking to my friends. They say it may not even be worth it to attend college if you’re stuck paying your student loans for years and not doing a job you enjoy. If some of these students could bypass college altogether and go straight into well-paying careers, they would avoid student loans and begin earning money much sooner. Not

all jobs necessarily require a four-year college education, but they are still just as crucial to our society. Some examples that come to mind are plumbers and electricians. I hope some students will see this as an option that
will help further their future without wasting time and money on something that won’t help them in the long run. A student I know in Johns Creek took advantage of a similar educational program, attending a local college to earn his associate’s degree before graduating high school. That gave him the opportunity to start attending Georgia Tech as a junior, saving thousands of dollars. Don’t get me wrong, I loved college and I know I learned a lot during my four years at the University of West Georgia. However, the summers I spent interning, gaining real-life,
hands-on experience with a variety of careers I was interested in taught me far more than sitting in a classroom. College may not be for everyone so it’s time we stop trying to force all students into the same higher-education box. Kudos to Forsyth County Schools for recognizing this and working to address the needs of all their students, and not just those bound for four-year universities. I can’t wait to see how the new, nontraditional grads of Forsyth County’s future will better our community.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR »
Councilmember urges approval of CSO Citizens of Milton, I know the development of a conservation subdivision ordinance has been a very long (18 months) and bumpy process. I appreciate everyone’s patience and the time people have spent trying to understand the implications and the details of the ordinance. I realize there are many people who are unconvinced this is a positive step for the city, but I remain confident that it will be. I would like to request that people take a look at the new ordinance that has been just released. It has taken a while but the city and council have listened to many different parties and talked to our consultant. The new draft addresses most of the legitimate concerns that have been brought to our attention. I urge you not to dismiss

We have a solid FAQ on our website. I will be glad to meet personally to discuss the ordinance and hope to hear constructive suggestions for changes. Bill Lusk, Milton Councilmember

Vaccination: Continued from Page 1
safe, and scientists continually work to make sure they become even safer.” She added that although many childhood diseases, including mumps and measles, have been eradicated or reduced in the United States, these diseases still exist in other parts of the world. International travel can easily bring those diseases into the U.S. “For example, measles is not very common in the United States due to vaccination, but the disease is brought into the United States by unvaccinated travelers who are infected abroad. After reaching this country, measles can spread quickly among unvaccinated people as we saw with the Disneyland outbreak late last year,” said Nydam, pointing to a late-winter outbreak in California which spread measles across the country. As a result of the outbreak, California passed a law removing religious exemptions from vaccinations, and now joins Mississippi as the only two states which require proof of vaccinations for public-school enrollment. In Georgia, parents still have the right to waive vaccinations for their public schoolchildren for medical or religious reasons. This year, however, the GDPH required parents to file a notarized Affidavit of Religious Objection to Immunization (DPH Form 2208) with their school. The new requirement simply puts the same process into place in every school system across the state,
noted Nydam. “The move to this form was for uniformity and to standardize these requests for exemption. Previously, a parent or legal guardian was required to provide a written statement swearing or affirming that immunizations conflicted with his or her religious beliefs,” said Nydam. If claiming a religious waiver, parents also agree that, in the event of an “epidemic or threatened epidemic” involving a disease preventable through vaccinations, students will be required to get vaccines or remain out of school during the emergency phase. In Georgia’s public schools, vaccination forms are only required in grades kindergarten, 7th, and for new students in grades 8-12. In Fulton County, health officials are complying with the new state policies for religious exemption, noting there are no other changes to the vaccination policies for this year. A spokeswoman did note the revised travel policy for students traveling to and from Ebola-impacted countries is still in effect. Last October, Fulton Schools implemented changes to its registration process for new students from West Africa, primarily from Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea, which was the epicenter for the Ebola outbreak that killed thousands. New students from these countries will not be enrolled in a Fulton County School without proper medical documentation or after the student is asymptomatic after an established time period.

Colonial Pipeline conducts response drills on ’Hooch Response readiness a priority for Alpharetta-based company By HATCHER HURD hatcher@appenmediagroup.com ALPHARETTA, Ga. – What comes to mind when someone mentions BP and the Exxon Valdez in the same breath? Oil spills come to mind if your memory is good. Well, Colonial Pipeline is working to ensure that its name never comes up in that conversation, as its safety drills out on the Chattahoochee River can attest. Colonial had teams of employees out on the river July 29 in Roswell doing some of the company’s on-water response training so they will be prepared to react quickly in an emergency. Colonial Communications Specialist Ryan Rogers said the exercise is one of about 40 to 50 such exercises the company does either on an annual or biannual basis in the 13 states in which it operates. “We have 5,500 miles of pipeline, beginning in Houston and running through those 13 states as far as the New Jersey side of New York Harbor. So we have a lot to be prepared for.” The particular on-water exercise on the Chattahoochee at Don White Memorial Park was to train employees and contractors on deploying and using a containment boom on

This particular one was one of the annual on-water drills,” Rogers said. Colonial also uses the exercises as a way to get to know the local authorities as well. “We coordinate our exercises with them. That kind of collaboration with state agencies and first responders pays off in other ways also,” he said. “We make an effort in all 13 states, every county, every town we operate in to have

You don’t want to have to make introductions with each other during an emergency, Rogers said. With Colonial’s headquarters in Alpharetta, many employees are brought here for all kinds of training, often including this sort of response operations. “All these training exercises

Business Expo hosts 59 vendors By KATHLEEN STURGEON kathleen@appenmediagroup.com FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. — Local businesses and community members had a chance Aug. 13 to mix and mingle at the 2015 Business Expo at the Forsyth Conference Center, 3410 Ronald Reagan Blvd. Jason Mock with the Cumming-Forsyth Chamber of Commerce, who put on the expo, said it was a great event. “Today’s been a good day for our business community and for our public to get out and meet businesses in Forsyth County and see new products and services,” Mock said. “It’s a great opportunity for the residents of this community to come out and see our businesses.” One of the title sponsors of the event was Kubicek Information Technologies, which offers flat-rate IT managed ser-
vices in Cumming, Suwanee, Alpharetta, Johns Creek and the surrounding Metro Atlanta area. Eugene Kovalov is the lead support engineer and he said the expo gives other businesses and local residents an opportunity to learn about his company. “A lot of these businesses are small businesses that are trying to grow like us,” Kovalov said. “We aren’t a large business and we want to grow, but at the same time our main point is to help others grow. We want everyone to know about us and to know they can rely on us to help them grow.” Other businesses in attendance included Miles, Hansford and Tallant law firm, Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta and Costco.

3 local bike shops named tops in nation Roswell bikes named No. 2 in U.S. By JONATHAN COPSEY jonathan@appenmediagroup.com NORTH FULTON, Ga. — The Active Times, a website devoted to all sports, has compiled a list of the top 50 bike stores in the nation. North Fulton was well represented with three stores making the cut: • Roswell Bikes (No. 2) • Bikes and Life (No. 22 • Alpha Bikes (No. 45) This is the third-annual listing of top stores in the country by The Active Times. Readers of the website voted on more than 120 shops around the country. Georgia as a state came in second overall for number of bike shops on the list (four). This was behind only Colorado. The state did not place a single location in last year’s list. Coming in at No. 45 was Alpha Bikes, on Haynes Bridge Road in Alpharetta.
Owner Michael Horowitz said he was honored by the award but it doesn’t surprise him. This is also the second year his shop had made the top list compiled by the National Bike Dealer’s Association. He chalked the nod up to good service and community. “It’s the guys who work here,” Horowitz said. “The guys in the shop know their stuff and are passionate. That comes across loud and clear.” Above that, the store routinely gives to charities and helps within the bicycling community. Bikes and Life (formerly The Bicycle Wheel) is in Johns Creek, off Medlock Bridge Road. They were named No. 22 in the top 50. “One of the things we pride ourselves on is our dedication to customer service,” said Lisa Tamiso, with Bikes and Life. “Our service department is
Generating awareness, interest & motivation As a small business owner, are you generating awareness of your products and services through your marketing efforts? When you meet with potential customers, are you creating interest in what you are selling? Generating awareness and interest during the sales process is very important, but if you can’t motivate a potential customer to buy, good luck in selling them something! Successful marketing programs that target a specific customer segment will help you to create awareness of the products and services you are selling. Getting a potential buyer interested often involves showing them the benefits of the product or service. Many sales professionals do a great job of creating awareness and interest, but don’t close the sale because they haven’t motivated the potential customer to buy. Motivating a potential customer requires that you demonstrate the value of

having, owning, or using your product and service. For some products this could be showing how much time a customer can save by using your product, or how much more effective they will be by hiring you to provide a service you sell. Motivating a potential customer to buy has to be focused on what’s in it for them. Many small businesses do a terrific job of creating awareness and interest of their products and services, but fall short by not creating the motivation to buy. Letting a potential customer know specifically what your value proposition is will help motivate them, and motivated customers buy more.
top-notch and we have over 50 years of experience with just two guys in the shop.” Coupled with this is a desire to be a part of the healthconscious community. “We integrate ourselves with healthy living, and fitness lifestyle, not just cycling,” Tamiso said. “We are trying to meet the needs of the entire community and it helps that the community loves cycling.” She said being considered one of the top bike shops in the nation was exciting. “We just started this business last fall,” she said. “This lets us know we are doing things correctly. It isn’t surprising, we have an incredible staff.” Roswell Bikes came in a No. 2 on the list. The Active Times website notes the store has “an unparalleled selection of bikes, gear and apparel.” “Roswell sales people and mechanics are pros,” one respondent wrote. “They know their stuff and if they don’t have it, [which is rare] they will get it for you. Great customer service and no one can match their inventory of the best bikes on the market.” Considering the fourth Georgia bike shop on the list is in Marietta, it’s clear the north metro region as a whole is popular with bicyclists. “People are interested in health and healthy lifestyle choices,” Horowitz said. “Roswell for years has had a strong start. While the Atlanta metro area is well behind other metro areas of its size, they

But once a year there are unannounced drills where employees don’t know the date, don’t know where and don’t know what the scenario is going to be,” Rogers said. “The horn will go off at 3 in the morning and all have to haul off and get on a plane.” It may be New Jersey or Texas, but they have to get there and begin fulfilling their assigned roles. The number of employees reacting is in the hundreds. Always, the goal is to examine what is getting done well and zero in on what is not and correct it, he said.

Roswell Mayor Jere Wood, himself an active cyclist, said he was not surprised North Fulton was so well represented. “There’s a lot of loyalty bicyclists have to their store,” he said. “There is a synergy between a good store and an avid bicyclist.” As the store supports its clients, the clients support the store, he said. North Fulton – and Roswell – are far enough from the metro area that cyclists can still ride on rural roads without too much fear of traffic. Roswell itself was the first city in the state to be named a “Bike-friendly community.”

“So we do both regularly scheduled training as well as the unannounced drills. The best way to put it is training for emergency preparedness is a big part of our operations. It’s not an afterthought,” Rogers said. “It’s a focus for us.” For this exercise, Colonial invited the Upper Chattahoochee Riverkeeper, the nonprofit watchdog organization, to let them know what efforts Colonial is prepared to make in an emergency. “We think it is important that they are aware of our training. And it is important to get their feedback as well,” Rogers said. “We have a shared goal in keeping the river system clean.” Colonial does have pipelines that go under the river. But emergency response is
only half of Colonial’s safety plan. Much of the effort goes into preventing any accidents before they can happen. Colonial uses a variety of methods to ensure the pipeline’s integrity on a 24/7 basis. These include flying planes over the rights of way to inspect visually and inserting “smart” tools into the pipe on a regular basis to look for anomalies. Then they make corrosion tests on the pipes themselves and use recoats. “We have a pretty robust integrity program that makes sure our pipeline system is safe, that’s obviously the priority,” Rogers said. “But it is just as important to us to respond if we ever did have an incident.”

NORTH FULTON CROSS-COUNTRY PREVIEW »
BT boys and Northview girls to defend state championships By JOE PARKER news@appenmediagroup.com ROSWELL, Ga.- North Fulton teams fared well at last year’s cross-country state championships, with the Blessed Trinity boys and Northview girls teams winning Class AAA and AAAAAA respectively, as well as a runner-up position for the Blessed Trinity girls. Fellowship Christian’s Emma Grace Hurley won the individual state title for Class A Private. According to Greg Johnson, head coach for Blessed Trinity’s boys cross-country team, the Titans are “hungry” for another state championship. The Titans tied with East Jackson’s first five finishing runners at the 2014 state championships. The tiebreaking procedure involves comparing the score for the teams’ sixth runners. Brennan O’Connor’s time of 18:06.3 bested East Jackson’s sixth runner by five seconds, earning BT the state championship. “It was great seeing our seniors accomplish [a state championship] last year after four years of hard work,” he said. “We were hungry for it
and we are still hungry.” The Titans will be without Andre Rodriguez, Chase Boran and Grayson Huggins in 2015, but Johnson said he is confident in his young team. “We are a relatively young team. We have a senior in Robby Gipson, who is our number-one runner and Ben McCoy, our number two, and then we have sophomores Leo Pryor, Brennan O’Connor and Chris Turko. We also have a lot of depth behind them.” Johnson believes his team can win another state championship but will have tough competition from Westminster, East Jackson and Oconee. “We want the state championship again. That’s what we are going for this fall,” he said. The BT girls came up just short of a state championship last year, finishing second behind Westminster. An assistant in 2014, Marissa Bohan will take over head coaching responsibilities for the Titans girls team this season. “Mary Claire Solomon has made a huge impact on the team,” Bohan said, adding that Maddie Heller and Emma Rose Bagwell are also standouts.
“These girls have shown a great deal of heart in the off season,” she said. According to Bohan, the focus of the offseason has been on “doing the little things right.” “I have a tremendous group of young women who put a lot of passion and dedication into what they do. We are building a program that places emphasis on the seemingly insignificant details which ultimately make all of the difference.”
The Northview girls will also be defending their state championship of 2014 and will return their top five runners from that team. Lindsay Billings, who won the individual state championship in 2014, along with Anna Barefield, Sarika Temme-Bapat, Tiffany Yue and Shannon Marsh, will all compete again for the Titans this year. Fellowship Christian senior Emma Grace Hurley will be defending her individual Class
A Private state championship of 2014 after being named the Gatorade Georgia Girls Runner of the Year for 2014. Hurley captured the state title, finished seventh at the Foot Locker South Regional Championships and 24th at the national championships. Hurley also competed in track and field this spring. On May 7, Hurley won the state championship in the 3200 meters with a state-record time of 10:38.01.

NORTH FULTON VOLLEYBALL PREVIEW »
Johns Creek and BT teams to watch By JOE PARKER news@appenmediagroup.com NORTH FULTON, Ga. - The Johns Creek Gladiators volleyball team finished the 2014 season ranked eighth in the state according to Maxpreps. com after their run in the state championships. The Gladiators posted a 37-15 overall record in 2014 but have lost key players to graduation. The Gladiators will be without Olivia Durrence, who had 255 kills in 2014, along with Alisha Hinrichs, Camden Groff and Madison Harty. However, they return seniors Madeline Savage and Mikaela Gauthreaux, both of whom played the most sets for the Gladiators last season. Savage played 125 sets, where she compiled 94 aces, which was the most in Region 6-AAAAAA, along with 327 kills, 15 blocks and 442 digs. 6-foot-1 senior Gauthreaux also played 125 sets, had 344 kills, 44 blocks, 298 digs and 33 aces. The Gladiators will also return Erin Williamson, Crystal Childs and Clara Kidney. Johns Creek finished atop
the Region 6-AAAAAA standings last season over South Forsyth. They beat Etowah and Archer by a combined 6-0 to reach the state playoffs. The Gladiators then defeated region rival South Forsyth before being knocked out in the semifinals to eventual state AAAAAA runner-up North Cobb. Also in Region 6-AAAAAA, Roswell will look to return to the state championships in 2015. Roswell compiled a 3321 overall record. They were knocked out of the first round of the state championships by East Coweta. The Hornets will be without top server Morgan Jones but return Camryn Bossinas as well as seniors Margaret Schad and Sarah Hall. Blessed Trinity will enter the 2015 season as the reigning state champions in AAA. In 2014, the Titans went 52-11 and 15-0 in sets in the playoffs and state championships.

the state championship once again. Johns Creek, Northview, Chattahoochee, Centennial and Alpharetta will all compete in Region 6-AAAAAA once again.

NORTH FULTON SOFTBALL PREVIEW »
North Fulton teams look to bounce back from disappointing 2014 By JOE PARKER news@appenmediagroup.com NORTH FULTON, Ga.- For most North Fulton softball teams, 2014 was a disappointing year with only Blessed Trinity and Cambridge earning playoff berths. Cambridge, undefeated in Region 7-AAAAA play in 2014, was the only North Fulton team to make the state championships last season, where they finished runner-up in the state and compiled a 28-5 overall record. The Bears defeated Harris County and Union Grove before being dealt a loss by Greenbrier. They defeated Harris County once again to earn a berth in the finals against Greenbrier. They would win that game 11-6 but would have to face them again for the final game of the state championship, a game they lost 10-4. Cambridge will be without fielders Lauren Stewart, Amanda Chernick and Savannah Dixon, as well as catcher Bela Bravo, but returns fielders Taylor Hauber and Emily Fedrigon as well as pitchers Mariah Kubik and Keara Napoli.
WWW.CAMBRIDGEBEARS.COM/SPORTS
In region 6-AAAAAA, North Fulton teams were at the bottom in 2014. Only Northview and Johns Creek had winning seasons at 14-11 and 15-13 respectively. Chattahoochee, Alpharetta and Centennial all finished at the bottom of the region standings, Chatta-
hoochee at 12-14, Alpharetta at 5-15 and Centennial, who went 0-18 in region play and 4-18 overall. The Titans of Blessed Trinity had a successful season in 2014 but a disappointing end in the second round of the state playoffs.
The Titans compiled a 24-10 overall record and won Region 4-AAA Private with a region record of 16-1. The Titans averaged eight runs per game while only allowing three runs per game. BT graduated much of their
2014 team in Rachel Garrity, Laura O’Brien, Katie Nichols, Kris Von Hagel and Mia Hughes. They return pitchers Skylar Hamilton and Raegan Lehman along with fielders Nina Castro, MacKenzie Kristufek and Christine Kraybill.

HATCHER HURD/STAFF
The house was torn down too.

Developer Drew Nietzer stands amid the rubble of a recently demolished house. He plans to have started construction on new homes within 90 days.
Great Wall: Continued from Page 1
when he agreed to talk about the future plans. Justin Adams and a woman who may or may not have been his wife lived on the property. He died and the woman, an invalid, has lived elsewhere for some time. According to Fulton County property records, the property at 14220 Cogburn Road belonged to Minnie Lou Green. “Two years ago the city really got on the couple that lived here about the wall. It was supposed to be a privacy fence of just 6 feet, but it was more like 8 feet,” Nietzer said. The wall was made of cinder blocks and portions were faced with brick. The two entrances of the property had arched gateways, which meant large trucks could not enter from Cogburn Road. In March 2014, the city had enough of complaints about the junk piling up behind the wall and got a court order that allowed them to come clean up the property. The city carted away 400 tons of garbage, debris, abandoned cars, boats and construction materials. They even hauled off huge piles of dirt and sand. The city had filed $42,000 in fines against Adams, but rarely collected any of it from him. Jim Pointer, the contractor for the demolition of the property, said he knew Adams. He said the man was a dirt broker, someone who agrees to remove dirt from a construction site or locate fill dirt for a site that
needed dirt. At every construction site, there is a need to remove the dirt, or the opposite. “It never works out that you have two sites at the same time and move it from one to the other,” Pointer said. “Justin would follow me in my truck in a VW bus wearing an aluminum hard hat. He would tell me he had a guy who either needed dirt or would take it. “And if he could make a deal with me, then he would go try to find a customer. He never had the customer to begin with. But most all dirt brokers lie.” Pointer said Adams was “unreliable” and his opinion of Adams did go up after demolishing the house. “He was a hoarder. That house was just packed with trash, junk and garbage from the basement to the ceiling,” he said. “It was just foul.” Nietzer and his partners plan to build three homes in the high $700,000s to low $800,000s range on the 3.55acre property. “There are a lot of good specimen trees on the property, including a Japanese maple, some magnolias and others. There are some developer-size boulders we will keep to use as accents in the landscaping,” he said. Construction will start in 60 to 90 days, he said. Pointer knows the site has caused locals in the area some twinges because it was so eccentric. “Our goal is to restore the property as quickly as possible so that when people drive by, they won’t know we’re here,” Nietzer said.

Fulton County seeks more poll workers for upcoming elections ATLANTA — Election officials in Fulton County are seeking interested people willing and available to assist in the 2015 general election Nov. 3. Throughout the county, fall elections each year result in increased demand for staff to man polling sites. This year, among the locations where workers are needed include precincts in Milton, Johns Creek, Alpharetta and Roswell. “Our goal is to have all areas of the county represented by the team in place to work the polls,” said Fulton County Director of Elections and Registration Rick Barron. “That is why we are putting out this call weeks in advance of people actually heading out to vote.” “It is helpful to streamline the voting process to have poll workers that live in each community and know the citizens that come into their local poll to vote,” said Liz Hausmann, District 1 commissioner.
Interested potential workers are required to complete online training and in-person training prior to each election. Those who complete poll worker training are paid $30 contingent upon working Election Day. Additional payment ranges from $175 to $275 depending upon roll, duties and prior experience as a poll worker. “In the past, it has been a huge inconvenience to the poll workers recruited from other parts of the county to commute far from home to assist,” said Barron. “The application process is easily accessible to all who want to participate.” The application to become a poll worker is available on the county’s website online at http://fultoncountyga.gov/registrationelections-cd/6252-poll-worker-application or http://www.fultonelections.com. —Jonathan Copsey

ALPHARETTA, Ga. – Police cruisers were parked the length and breadth of Avalon’s main street Aug. 3, with police dogs patrolling the sidewalks. A helicopter hovered overhead and SWAT teams made their way through the streets. This was no security issue; it was the annual “Night Out” by the Alpharetta Department of Public Safety, the one time
of the year when all branches of the department can literally bring out the big guns to show off for the community. Firefighters demonstrated quickly donning turn-out gear and hooking up hoses as well as rappelling from rooftops. K-9 officers went through hurdles and fought off makebelieve attackers; the SWAT team simulated tactics, all while guests of Avalon and the greater community could watch and interact with the officers. The night was designed to break down barriers between public-safety workers and the people they protect. Firefighters and police officers
explained what they do and why, putting a friendly face on their duties rather than simply a badge. “Our Alpharetta Night Out program is one of the most exciting events of the year,” said Alpharetta Public Safety Deputy Director Wesley McCall. “Besides showing off our equipment and skills, this event provides us an opportunity to meet those we serve and it allows us an opportunity to create lasting relationships. It’s about our community and the people that make Alpharetta a great place to live, work and play. I am proud of the passion of our people and what they do each day as first responders.”

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.
