Celebrating Indian Independence Day Atlanta’s Indian community meets at Newtown Park for celebration By HATCHER HURD hatcher@appenmediagroup.com

HATCHER HURD/STAFF

An Indian girl in traditional costume leads her state’s delegation in the opening parade of the Freedom Mela. This is the Indian community’s celebration of independence from Great Britain in 1947.

JOHNS CREEK, Ga. – The colors of the day Saturday, Aug. 15, at Johns Creek’s Newtown Park were orange, white and green, the colors of the Indian flag. The reason: to celebrate Aug. 15, the 69th anniversary of Indian Independence Day, commemorating the nation’s independence from the British Empire. This was the first time the entire Atlanta Indian community decided to celebrate together in one place and host a huge celebration from 3 to 9 p.m. The Freedom Mela (Cel-

ebration) event was sponsored by several of Atlanta’s IndianAmerican organizations. India is composed of 29 states, each with its own language. Yet in 1947, all of these diverse cultures banded together to form one nation. This past weekend, American Indians gathered to celebrate their diversity and their unity with a nod to the United States where they now make their home. “This is the first time the Indian community has come together in Atlanta as one group,” said one of the organizers.

Vaccination rate in schools remains high Religious objection waiver forms seldom used By CANDY WAYLOCK candy@appenmediagroup.com FULTON, COUNTY — Parents in Fulton County schools can rest assured the child sitting next to their child in the classroom and cafeteria this year is likely vaccinated from the host

of childhood diseases that pose a public health threat. 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 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

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

Man found sleeping in wrong home ALPHARETTA, Ga. — A Harris Commons Place resident had a rude awakening Aug. 6 after she found a strange man asleep in her living room. The victim said she was awakened by the snoring of the man, who was found passed out in the living room. When woken, the suspect was asked why he was in the house and he said he thought it was his

home and the door was unlocked. He actually lives three doors down. Being neighborly, the victim declined to press charges.

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.

Cops: Come for the theft, stay for the warrants ALPHARETTA, Ga. — A man is out $730 in cash after his wallet went missing at a local restaurant. An employee was arrested, but for a completely different charge. The incident happened Aug. 3 at the Golden Corral at North Point Drive. The victim told police he paid for his meal and left his wallet at the register. In the wallet was the cash. Speaking with the employee at the register, Quanna Lavette Milton, 41, of Atlanta, she said she saw the wallet and placed it beneath the counter for safe-

keeping. She said she never opened it. Surveillance video supports this; however, she can be seen at one point later handling something in that area. She denied taking anything. While investigating this incident, police discovered Milton had warrants for her arrest out of Douglas and Cobb counties for forgery and theft. She was arrested on those charges.

Alpharetta extends cell tower, signage bans Now set to expire in September By JONATHAN COPSEY jonathan@appenmediagroup.com ALPHARETTA, Ga. -- The Alpharetta City Council unanimously approved extending two moratoriums at their Aug. 17 meeting. Extensions on both signage and cellular tower construction were approved. The sign moratorium is to give the city time to come inline with a recent U.S. Supreme Court ruling governing how cities allow signs. “We need an additional 30 days to complete two [public] readings for minor amend-

ments to the sign ordinance,” said City Attorney Sam Thomas. On June 18, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that using signs can THOMAS be a form of free speech and that limiting such signs infringes upon that. Unfortunately, that also means the sign ordinances of thousands of cities around the country were suddenly illegal. To bring the city’s sign ordinance into compliance, Alpharetta imposed a temporary ban on new signs while staff worked on the issue.

Until the sign ordinance is approved, only 4-foot-by-4 foot signs are allowed. The extension will expire Sept. 16 at midnight. In addition to extending the sign ordinance moratorium, the city extended a ban on new cell towers. The council previously approved an extension only a few weeks prior, Aug. 3. Federal law severely restricts what municipalities can do in regards to communications infrastructure; aesthetics especially are not a good enough reason to deny towers. “We are in negotiations with all the major vendors in the city,” said Thomas. “We are trying to head off problems and make it a fair ordinance.” The city has completed its

own map of areas that could justify new cell towers. Previously, the carriers would do their own studies when asking for permission to build towers, citing lack of coverage. With a city-created coverage map, it now knows exactly where towers are needed. “It is not an easy task to draft an ordinance that recognizes [Federal Communications Commission] regulations and gives us the control we need as a community,” said Councilmember Chris Owens. “The carriers have been cooperative and are providing great input.” The city’s telecommunications ban will expire Sept. 21 unless it is either extended again or a new ordinance is approved.

Wynn announces Roswell re-election run 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

ROSWELL, Ga. – Roswell Councilmember Becky Wynn has announced her intention to run for re-election for City of Roswell Post 2. “Roswell is thriving as one of the few cities in Georgia with a AAA bond rating. Unlike many others, our city is operating on a balanced budget, without millage rate increases.” said Wynn, adding “My experience and leadership mean citizens can expect continued effectiveness in the next term on City Council.” Wynn has served the interests of Roswell and Fulton County residents for over 20 years. She started as a volunteer community advocate and later worked as staff for Fulton County Chairman Mike Kenn and Commissioner Bob Fulton. She also served on Roswell’s Design Review Board, the Chairman’s Advisory Board, former Fulton County Commissioner Lynne Riley’s Water Reuse Task Force, Ro-

swell Mayor Jere Wood’s International Cooperation Committee and State Senator John Albers’ Education CommitWYNN tee. She crafted legislation enabling creation of a code enforcement board. Wynn is a member of Keep Roswell Beautiful and Roswell Rotary. During Councilmember Wynn’s tenure, there has been significant progress in Roswell, such as the Holcomb Bridge/Ga. 400 interchange project, and the enactment of the Unified Development Code. Her continued focus on revitalization and redevelopment has helped bring in new businesses, retain existing businesses, increase revenue and enhance the quality of life for Roswell citizens. —Jonathan Copsey

NEWS 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/ registration-elections-cd/6252poll-worker-application or http://www.fultonelections. com. —Jonathan Copsey

‘Hooch boat search fruitless But has happy ending By HATCHER HURD hatcher@appenmediagroup.com JOHNS CREEK, Ga. –A search for a missing Gwinnett man on the Chattahoochee River ended happily, if belatedly, but it also showed the river has to be respected. A Gwinnett County man was reported missing around dusk Monday, Aug. 3, after a group of four men and one woman, all in their 20s, decided to swim out to an island on the Chattahoochee near the Jones Bridge boat landing in Johns Creek around 4 p.m. About four hours later, around 8 p.m. the party noted that the river had begun to rise and the water was flowing more swiftly. The U.S. Corps of Engineers releases water from the Lake Lanier dam as it determines the need, and the river level is prone to rise quickly and swiftly, said John Creek Fire Chief Jeff Hogan.

“That island is about 200 yards north of the National Parks Service’s landing off Barnwell Road. They saw the river rising and decided that would be a good time to get out of the water,” Hogan said. “The [young woman] had a life jacket on, but the boys didn’t. “Four of them got to the bank OK, but they turned around and saw one of the boys was still going down the river. And that’s the last they see of him. That was about 8:30.” A 911 call was placed, officials assume from a member of the party, and a search was begun that included rescue boats from Johns Creek, Roswell and Gwinnett County. Gwinnett also sent out a helicopter to help search. The search began by 9 p.m. and, at 11 p.m., the father of the missing young man arrived. “I talked to the dad, and I had interviewed the young girl, and we were told [the missing man] was a good swimmer. But he was still missing,” Hogan said. “So we made the determi-

nation to run the search until 1 a.m. and then shut it down until daylight. And that’s what we did.” No sign of the man or a body had been found. But, about 5 a.m. the chief got a call from the Chattcom Dispatch Center with news that the man was at home. Hogan had the father’s business card

so he called him to see what happened. The father told Hogan his son had walked into the house around 4 a.m. “Apparently, the son had managed to get out of the river farther down on the Gwinnett side and lay down from exhaustion and fell asleep. But they had been drinking also,”

Hogan said. “When he woke up, he made his way home.” Hogan said it was a happy ending to what otherwise could have been a tragedy. “That water was generating and it was fast moving. Four of them got out of the river and one of them didn’t but with a good outcome – this time,” the chief said.

Betty Price sworn in as new district 48 representative ROSWELL, Ga. -- Dr. Betty Price has been sworn in as the 48th House District Representative to the Georgia Legislature representing parts of Roswell and Alpharetta. She was sworn in by Judge Tom Campbell who previously served in this seat in the Georgia legislature from 19892004. Campbell was elected to the State House in a special summer election following the death of State Representative Luther Colbert, a former Roswell City Councilmember, who succumbed from injuries sustained in an automobile accident on June 5, 1989. Price also was elected in a special summer election called by Governor Nathan Deal upon the passing of State Representative Harry Geisinger of Roswell who died after a short illness on May 1, 2015. Geisinger served in the seat from 1969 to 1974, and again from 2004 until this year. On hand for the low-key swearing in were her husband Congressman Dr. Tom Price and their son Robert, who both witnessed the first day of officially assuming the office on July 20, 2015. “It was so special to have my good friend and neighbor Tom Campbell swear me in to the Georgia House wearing his ceremonial robe. He showed us newspaper clippings from his race in 1989 and we compared the similarities. It was an intimate and contemplative time

with my husband and son both able to share witnessing the oath taken in Judge Campbell’s chambers in Atlanta,” Price said. Price had stepped down after more than five years on the Roswell City Council and qualified to run for the State House on June 1, 2015. Six weeks later she was elected to the Georgia legislature on July 14, 2015, defeating two opponents without the necessity for a runoff. “I am looking forward to getting to work serving the residents of the 48th House

District,” she said. “Having met with Speaker David Ralston and Speaker Pro Tem Jan Jones, and talking with a number of other legislators, the committees I initially serve on will soon be determined. In the summer and fall between the two year legislative term, there are study committees and other assignments and requests I am grateful to help with, and I will try to move ahead on issues important to our community and provide needed constituent services on state matters. “ —Jonathan Copsey

OPINION

How to get your school news in the newspaper 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 flyerspeak 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 com-

plete 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 be sent in high resolution. The Internet likes small, compacted photos that don’t take up much space. But we have to blow those photos up many, many times to make them large enough for the newspaper. So if you want your photos to look crisp, clear and in focus, you should send them in high resolution of 300 dpi or greater. Another thing about photos: Photos that are not crisp and clear will not be in the newspaper. We want you to be in the newspaper. We know our readers like to read about people they know. So partner with us, and we will try to get everything in. There is one caveat I always give about articles published in the newspaper, especially school articles.

Take the time to say ‘thank you’ When was the last time you took a moment to thank someone? When was the last time you said that to a stranger who were simply doing his job? I was speaking with a member of the community after a meeting one night and we somehow got on the subject of how people don’t say “thank you” anymore. Perhaps people are simply too preoccupied with their own lives or thoughts to take the time. It’s also possible people are simply too hard to please. I’m sure many customers could be classified as “high maintenance.” I’m looking at you, Starbucks lady in front of me, who wants a venti chai tea latte, 180 degrees, seven pumps chai syrup, no foam, double cupped, no sleeve, nonfat milk. The barista might only do half that and you wouldn’t notice. Work is work, no matter what you are doing. Be it serving or being a professional. For me, when I screw something up, I have a whole community yelling at me. But when I do well? More often than not, it’s silence. Ditto goes for servers – when was the last time you asked for a manager at a restaurant and thanked them and the server for their work? The last time I did this, the server got a hunted look in her eyes. I can imagine the only time people ask for a manager is to complain. People thrive on positive reinforcement. Sometimes it can be all they need to get through the day. When I was shopping around

for engagement and wedding rings — not to mention replacement arms and legs for the appendages those rings cost— I settled on Shane Co. I knew their ads and there was one close by my office. It turns out they offer a list of partners who service weddings — caterers, florists, venues, and so on. We ended up using this list for several of our services in our wedding. After the wedding, we visited Shane Co. and mentioned this to the employees. They looked at us in shock — no one ever tells them they used the list! We started thanking them (and the company) for the help they gave us and the employees were falling over themselves thanking us for mentioning it. We later even went online and left reviews. The takeaway from this story is how pleased those Shane Co. people were that anyone sincerely thanked them for their service. Not simply a polite “thanks,” but heartfelt appreciation. If you are satisfied with the service you receive, thank the people who served you. It’s not that hard and it can really make someone’s day.

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

does a balloon float when it’s blown up? – until, in exasperation, I would say, “Just think about that for a while and see if you can think of the answer.” I dream of taking them to historical sights and battlefields. 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.

City, Roswell Rotary to host Sept. 11 tribute By JONATHAN COPSEY jonathan@appenmediagroup.com ROSWELL, Ga. — To honor those killed and injured during the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, the City of Roswell and the Roswell Rotary Club will host a tribute. The 9/11 Tribute will take place at 8:30 a.m. at the Mike Gann 9/11 Memorial, located near the lake in Roswell Area Park, 10495 Woodstock Road, where a small plaque makes note of Gann, a Roswell resident and victim of the attacks. The 9/11 attacks were the deadliest terrorist attacks on American soil in U.S. history. The attacks killed 2,977 people, including 343 firefighters and 72 police officers who had rushed to the scene to help

John Albers, co-chair of the Roswell tribute. “People have made sacrifices. How do we honor them for generations to come?” One way to honor them is to remember their sacrifices annually. In Roswell, Walt

Woliver has taken this charge, heading up the community’s efforts for 12 of the past 14 years. He said he started the event as a way to honor those civilians who died. “Memorial Day is all about remembering the dead, Veterans Day is about remembering our veterans. Sept. 11 is about remembering the police, firefighters, emergency medical service and civilians who died,” he said. Woliver has always organized the event at the Faces of War Memorial behind Roswell City Hall. The event, he said, has traditionally been small, with about 100 people attending. For a few years, the city did not have any ceremony marking the day, now called “Patriot Day.”

This year’s Sept. 11 ceremony will occur at the Roswell Area Park’s lake, before a memorial to Mike Gann, a Roswell resident killed in the attacks.

The 2015 Sept. 11 memorial will take place at the flagpole near the lake at Roswell Area Park. This year, the ceremony will feature the Roswell Fire and Police Honor Guard, the U.S. Coast Guard Pipe Band, the Holcomb Bridge Middle School Chorus, a floating wreath presentation and special guests. Roswell’s Firefighter of the Year and Police Officer of the Year will also be recognized at this

event. Atlanta radio legend Rhubarb Jones will serve as the master of ceremonies. Woliver said he hopes the crowd will be larger as well, with as many as 3,000 maybe people attending. “I hope we will never forget this,” he said. “People of all ages and nationalities were involved [in the tragedy]. Those who don’t remember their past are doomed to repeat it.”

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) in Johns Creek, and 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, located 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 top-notch and we have over 50 years of experience with just

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.

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 website notes the store has “an unparalleled selection of bikes, gear and apparel.” “Being ranked No. 2 in the USA market certainly makes us proud,” said Todd Kaib, with Roswell Bicycles. “I believe that our involvement in national events and charities helped give us the advantage over many of the other top 50 in that we are known by many outside of Georgia.” 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. “We are ecstatic to have Atlanta now be viewed as a real cycling community,” Kaib said. “Having four Georgia stores in the top 50 is a testament to the overall quality of service that is offered in our Atlanta market.” Horowitz agreed.

Colonial: Continued from Page 12 are planned in advance to be learning experiences. 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.

While the Atlanta metro area is well behind other metro areas of its size, they are clearly getting the dollars and infrastructure to make us more cycling friendly.” Indeed, whenever a new road project comes along, bike lanes are often considered as an improvement. 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 met-

ro 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.” For the complete list of winners, visit The Active Times at www.theactivetimes.com.

“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.”

There is a synergy between a good store and an avid bicyclist.” JERE WOOD Roswell Mayor, cyclist

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.

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.

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 Bears defeated Druid Hills and Allatoona in the playoffs before being knocked out 3-2 by Columbus in the first round of the state championships. Cambridge will return all but one member of the 2014 campaign this season and the extra year of experience can put them in contention for

the state championship once again. Johns Creek, Northview, Chattahoochee, Centennial and Alpharetta will all compete in Region 6-AAAAAA once again. Chattahoochee, Centennial and Alpharetta were under .500 last season in region play with Johns Creek and Northview going 8-1 and 7-3 in the region, respectively.

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.

ALPHARETTA TEEN FINALIST FOR PEACE FIRST PRIZE »

Josh Seides could win $25K scholarship for founding Technocademy to help seniors connect with digital media By HATCHER HURD hatcher@appenmediagroup.com ALPHARETTA, Ga. – Seventeen-yearold Josh Seides took an idea to start helping older adults and others learn to be proficient with smartphones and other digital devices and founded Technocademy (See the June 4 Johns Creek Herald). Now that idea – and the hard work and follow-through it took to launch it – may win Seides a $25,000 scholarship. Seides, a senior at Alpharetta High School, is one of 27 young people nationwide, ages 8 to 22, who have been selected as finalists for the Peace First Prize. Peace First is a national nonprofit dedicated to teaching critical peacemaking skills to youth, said Dalton Bentley, digital media and communications coordinator for Peace First. Started by Eric D. Dawson, president and co-founder, in 2000, Peace First is a Boston-based national nonprofit organization with the goal to create the next generation of peacemakers. The Peace First Prize celebrates the powerful contributions of the young people Peace First has selected as peacemakers, Bentley said. The Prize will recognize five individuals for their compassion, courage and

ability to create collaborative change with a two-year $25,000 Peace First fellowship. Seides created his nonprofit organization Technocademy after his experiences bringing his grandparents into the digital age. “My grandparents live in New York, and they had a hard time communicating with the family,” Seides said. “So every time we went to New York, I would answer their questions about the phone, their TVs and so on.” Two things happened. Seides saw what a difference learning technology made in his grandparents’ lives, and he realized this was something that could be done everywhere to help people keep up with changing technology. “In 2012, my freshman year, I saw that there was this real need, so that’s when I got the idea for Technocademy,” he said. Now, three years later, Seides’ Technocademy helps senior citizens, veterans and others who may need help mastering technology. He has some 400 volunteers who run classes at senior centers, assisted-living housing and other locations. While Technocademy is concentrated around North Fulton – 15 sites are in the Johns Creek-Alpharetta area –another five chapters have begun outside Atlanta.

Josh is filling an important gap so that those people will have the ability to connect with their loved ones,” Bentley said. The Peace First Prize wants to recognize youth for the good things they are doing. The winners are encouraged to use their fellowship to invest in their professional development as national peace leaders. For some 20 years, Peace First (www.peacefirst.org) has taught young people across the country the fundamental skills of peacemaking and civic engagement. “Too often in the news we see these stories of violence perpetrated by young people.

FULTON COUNTY, Ga. -- The 2015-16 school year started for Fulton Schools with more than 2,500 students less than expected and more than 100 teachers still to hire to reach full strength. During a meeting of the Fulton School Board on Aug. 12, Deputy Superintendent Rob Anderson noted the 100-plus teacher vacancies are in the typical “hard to staff” areas of special education, foreign languages, and science, technology, engineering and math (STEM). “We’ve [already] hired close to 800 teachers, 14 principals and 20 assistant principals,” said Anderson. “The remaining [vacancies] are in the areas that lots of folks in the metro area [school systems] are also looking to hire.” Fulton has allocated 6,635 posi-

tions for the current school year, and as a system is approaching 14,000 total employees. The 100-plus teacher vacancies represent less than two percent of the total teaching force, noted school officials, who point to a nearly 99 percent staffing level on day one. “We are continuing to grow and working hard to make sure we have the right people in the right seats in our organization,” said Anderson. This year, Fulton has increased its teacher pay across the board and is providing sign-on bonuses to teachers in high-demand fields as it positions itself to be competitive with other metro systems. Although student enrollment after the third day of school is more than 2,500 students short of projections, school officials note numbers historically start low in the first week and gradually build to full enrollment by the 20th day. The third-day count was 93,690 students. The enrollment projection for the year is 96,229. “The [numbers] are expected to

Students across the system also returned to renovated school buildings, as the Capi-

tal Programs department spent the summer putting tax dollars to work. Using proceeds from the one-cent Education Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax, three new schools opened, renovations were completed at 14 schools, four schools were painted, 23 gym floors were refinished, 33 elementary school playgrounds were renovated and 37 portable classrooms were permanently removed.

Blotter:

Continued from Page 3 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.

Vehicles broken into at restaurant ALPHARETTA, Ga. — Several vehicles were broken into Aug. 3 at an Alpharetta restaurant. According to police, three cars were entered while their

owners ate at the Sage restaurant on Haynes Bridge Road between 6 and 10 p.m. One victim said his passenger window was smashed and a book bag with electronics was taken. That included a laptop and passport. The other two victims reported similar instances — smashed windows and bags taken — and one victim said a black Ruger SR40c pistol was also taken.

Drunk hits parked police car ALPHARETTA, Ga. — A suspected drunk driver was arrested after he hit a parked police car in a parking lot. Police said they were at Wild Wing Cafe when someone told them a vehicle had hit their cruiser in the parking lot. The suspect vehicle was leaving the area. Police ran outside and followed. The 21-year-old suspect, when caught, told police he thought he hit the curb. He allegedly admitted to drinking that night and failed sobriety tests.

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

It is described as having a large gash on the bottom and a leash attached to the front inside. A less-expensive kayak was not touched.

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.

NEWSPAPER DELIVERY ROUTE OPEN Appen Media Group has a route that will be opening in several weeks. This route requires delivery of the paper to a list of specific subdivisions each week. The newspapers must be bagged and then delivered to the driveway. Delivery person will be given a list of the subdivisions as well as a list of any specific addresses that have requested not to have the paper delivered. Requirements for this work include the following: Spotless driving record, proof of insurance and citizenship, reliable car or truck, excellent references, and a history of reliability and honesty in previous work. Delivery folks are independent contractors and are paid per newspaper delivered and a gas allowance is provided. Typically a route takes from 5-7 hours per week between bagging and driving the route. The specific route available will be in Johns Creek and the papers would need to be picked up from our office Wednesday and delivered by no later than Thursday night at midnight. If interested please email resume to RayAppen@ gmail.com. In the subject line put “route” . I will confirm receipt of your email by replying to it. A criminal background check is made and a clean drug test is required. Please do not call.
