GET opens season with ‘Calendar Girls’ London’s box office-busting comedy makes Southern debut By HATCHER HURD hatcher@appenmediagroup.com

ROSWELL, Ga. – There is absolutely nothing funny about cancer. But that doesn’t mean you can’t laugh in its face. And that is exactly what Georgia Ensemble Theatre is doing after snagging first American production rights to “Calendar Girls.” The play is based on the true story of nine women who begin an incredible journey together for the sake of one of their own. When it includes

the decision to make a daring calendar – and draws more attention than they ever dreamed – it stretches friendships to the limit. GET’s “Calendar” journey began in 2009, when the annual GET tour of London’s theaters included the Tim Firth smash comedy, which is based on his movie screenplay. As they were walking out of the theater, Anita Farley, half of GET, grabbed Robert Farley, the other half, and said, “We

3 North Fulton schools make list of Top 500 high schools in U.S. Annual Newsweek rankings include Milton, Alpharetta and Chattahoochee By CANDY WAYLOCK candy@appenmediagroup.com Three North Fulton high schools are among the seven Georgia schools that cracked the Top 500 public high schools, as ranked by Newsweek magazine. Alpharetta, Milton and Chattahoochee high schools were among the nation’s topperforming high schools on the 2015 list, as determined by academic achievement of students on state assessments and how well the schools prepare their students for college. Newsweek ranked Milton at

431, down from 320 last year. Alpharetta came in at 486 and Chattahoochee at 499. Neither school was on the 2014 list. The only other metro schools on the 2015 list are DeKalb School of Arts (368) and Lambert High (Forsyth County) at 421. “The Newsweek list brings some well-deserved recognition to our schools, but in truth, all of our high schools are pushing harder each year to make sure every student is successful,” said Kenneth Zeff, interim superintendent. “Increasing our students’ college readiness is one of our district’s key stra-

tegic goals, and this acknowledgement by Newsweek is a validation of the work of our teachers and students.” Newsweek looked at data from over 16,200 high schools across the country to compile the rankings. The top-performing 30 percent were selected, then further evaluated to rank the top 500. Schools were graded on a 100-point scale in six areas: college enrollment rates (25 percent), high school graduation rates (20 percent), a composite AP/IB/dual enrollment score (17.5 percent), composite SAT/ACT score (17.5 percent), counselor/student ratio (10 percent), and changes in 9thgrade to 12th-grade enrollment rates (10 percent).

The Newsweek list brings some welldeserved recognition to our schools, but in truth, all of our high schools are pushing harder each year to make sure every student is successful.” KENNETH ZEFF interim superintendent

The results are subject to some scrutiny. In releasing the methodology, researchers caution that “rankings are dependent on self-reported data … [There] are circumstances in which the variables may not have been reported consistently.” In addition, not all schools in the country responded to

surveys sent out by Newsweek and were therefore not considered in the rankings. The Newsweek high school rankings have been compiled for more than a decade, but recently moved to two lists to better address the impact of

First Amendment concerns,” said Assistant City Attorney Bob Hulsey. “Because police have other tools adequate to the task, it’s better to remove one that is open to constitutional question.” The ban on profanity was initially adopted to follow a similar state law, said Hulsey. “Council thought it was important to continue to follow state law, which contained a similar prohibition,” Hulsey said. “This prohibition has been a part of Roswell ordinances for many years, as it has been for many other cities. “Generally, if a person is using foul language, it is the volume and the manner of its use that causes the problem,” Hulsey said. “[The law] simply was another of about a dozen described situations in which an individual can cause a disturbance sufficient to interfere with public order.” However, even though cur-

If residents see him or have any information to share regarding the two other men

in question, they are urged to contact Det. S.W. Hewitt of the Milton Police Department at 678-242-2612 or by email at stephen.hewitt@cityofmiltonga. us. Any information on the case can be submitted anonymously to the Crime Stoppers Atlanta tip line at 404-577-TIPS (8477), MCCALL online at www.crimestoppersatlanta.org or by texting CSA and the tip to CRIMES (274637).

Johns Creek resident sentenced for cocaine trafficking Given 17 years in federal prison ATLANTA - Ricky Nuckles, 41, has been sentenced to 17 years, 7 months in federal prison for trafficking 22 kilograms of cocaine and for possessing a firearm in furtherance of that offense. Nuckles was found guilty by a jury on May 13, 2015. He was caught by an off-duty DEA agent who witnessed a drug transaction. "One of our most solemn responsibilities is to protect the public from the blight of illegal narcotics," said U.S. Attorney

John Horn. "Thanks to a vigilant off-duty DEA agent, 22 kilograms of cocaine is off the streets, and Nuckles’ drug-trafficking days are NUCKLES finished." On the morning of Dec. 23, 2013, Nuckles parked his car beside a pump at a gas station on Cheshire Bridge Road in Atlanta and entered the sta-

tion's convenience store. As he entered, Nuckles placed a call on his cell phone. Moments later, a second car entered the gas station and parked beside the defendant's car. The driver of the second car then carried a large suitcase over to Nuckles’ car, placed it inside, and quickly returned to his car and drove away. The defendant watched the delivery through the store's window and remotely locked his car the moment the suitcase was placed inside. Unbeknownst to Nuckles, an off-duty DEA agent was also at the gas station that morn-

ing, and watched the delivery happen while waiting in line for an emissions inspection. The agent confronted Nuckles as he attempted to return to his car and leave the station. The agent identified himself, and after explaining what he saw, Nuckles fled back inside the convenience store and immediately discarded the cell phone he used to arrange the drug delivery. When Nuckles exited the store the second time, the agent was still waiting by Nuckles' car. After learning that the de-

fendants had a loaded firearm next to his driver's seat, the agent placed himself between Nuckles and the car and dialed 911. Minutes later, additional DEA agents and uniformed Atlanta Police Department officers arrived at the gas station. Nuckles consented to a search of the suitcase, inside which agents found 22 kilograms of cocaine with a wholesale value of approximately $750,000. Agents also found an FN model 57 handgun and two 25-round extended magazines next to the driver's seat of the car, within easy reach.

Roswell receives $37,500 donation for new adult aquatics facility ROSWELL, Ga. — The Friends of the Roswell Parks and the Roswell Ramblers jointly presented a check in the amount of $37,500 to the City of Roswell at the Aug. 10 Mayor and City Council meeting to support the city’s new adult aquatics facility. The check represented the first half of the organizations’ $75,000 commitment to finance the construction of a therapeutic whirlpool at the state-of-the-art aquatics facility, which will open adjacent to Roswell’s Adult Recreation Center in early 2016. The Adult Aquatics Facility will be the latest enhancement to the City’s Adult Recreation Center, which opened in 2000 and gained a full-size fitness center in 2012 dedicated to Fred Williams for his many years of leadership and service to the citizens of Roswell. With its ability to reduce joint stress and provide resistance and assistance to movement, swimming is the most popular exercise among those older than 50. The 12,000-square-foot facility will provide an unparalleled experience with its five-lane warm water therapeutic swimming pool, zero-depth entry, whirlpool and shower facilities. The Roswell Ramblers, a community membership group of citizens aged over 50, have been long-time supporters of the Adult Aquatics Facility and have campaigned to support the project at events such as the Roswell Arts Festival, Alive After Five and the Youth Day Parade. After Roswell residents approved a 2012 bond referendum to cover the basic construction of the aquatics facility, the Ramblers spearheaded several fundraising efforts in support of additional aquatics features for the facility. In addition, through the work of nearly 200 volunteers giving 1,200 hours of their time, the Ramblers have generated more than $10,000 since May 2013 from activities at the Adult Recreation Center. For information on fundraisers and how to support the Adult Aquatics Facility project, visit www.friendsoftheroswellparks.com. —Jonathan Copsey

The Roswell City Council receives a check for $37,500 from the Friends of the Roswell Parks and the Roswell Ramblers. The money will go toward supporting the city’s new adult aquatics facility.

When in need, please ask for help For the past few weeks I’ve been working on multiple stories involving domestic violence. I’ve talked to directors of local safe houses, heard from community members and read statistic after disheartening statistic. It’s no surprise that domestic violence happens in all communities regardless of age, race, gender, religion or socio-economic status. It even happens in Forsyth and North Fulton counties, places we like to think are safe. While they are indeed wonderful places to call home, they are also not without their own dark secrets. As the newspaper you’re reading now has reported far too often lately, Forsyth and North Fulton are hardly immune to violent confrontations between family members that end in beatings, abuse and even death. Even through all the upsetting interviews I’ve had lately, one message was clear — there are a multitude of available resources and kind people willing and eager to help those in need. More than once I was asked if I was going to provide a list of numbers victims can call, and I have on each article I’ve written. But it still takes that incredibly courageous first step of picking up the phone and dialing those numbers for things to change. It is sometimes said that the first step is the hardest, and, for victims of domestic violence, truer words have never been spoken. Recently, I talked to the Forsyth County Sheriff’s Office about how they help victims. I spoke with four people that day and each one said there are plenty of resources that cater to just about anything a victim might need. Their officers hand out pamphlets every time they go on a call, even if the situation

KATHLEEN STURGEON Forsyth Herald Reporter kathleen@appen mediagroup.com

Thankfully in Forsyth the numbers have reduced, but it’s not enough. It won’t be enough until the crime reports cease to fill pages in the local paper. doesn’t seem to be abusive. Making victims aware of all those resources, however, seems to be the challenge. One of the women I spoke with told me about her sister who had been in an abusive situation for eight years. Had she known about all the forms of assistance available to her, her sister said, she may have left sooner. It is heartbreaking to know there are so many options, yet so many people - especially people who need them - aren’t aware and don’t reach out for help. We as a community need to step it up and help fill the gap between need and knowledge. If we think someone we know is in danger, we should

help them take that first step, which may be nothing more than admitting something potentially devastating is going on. If we don’t think anyone we know is in an abusive relationship, we should still educate ourselves about help that is available, just in case we’re blindsided one day by a dark reality that resides in every community, no matter how wonderful. Domestic violence comes in many shapes and sizes and often doesn’t rear its ugly head until it’s too late. That needs to end. When I first started writing about domestic violence, it was because there were so many murders and shootings. I didn’t like discussing it because it’s not something you want to think about. But I soon realized that the more knowledgeable people are, the better the victims in our communities will fare. So I wrote about it. Then I wrote about it some more. The more I learned, the more it made me mad and upset. It’s an uncomfortable topic, I know. But it’s something we need to start talking about. Thankfully in Forsyth the numbers have reduced, but it’s not enough. It won’t be enough until the crime reports cease to fill pages in the local paper. The only way we can stop or at least lessen domestic violence is by increasing awareness and coming together to help one another. A great start would be saving the help-line phone numbers in my related story. Someday, someone you know just might need to take that incredibly courageous first step of picking up the phone and dialing one of those numbers for things to change.

Bob Hagan gets BD party, CDA gets the presents ROSWELL, Ga. – The Child Development Association threw a 60th birthday party for former CDA Board Chairman Bob Hagan, and the CDA kept all the presents. OK, so it was a fundraiser and the CDA netted $20,000 in a good cause. Actually, the party was real enough, thanks to hosts Claudia and Jere Wood. As they are wont to do, they offered up their home on Stroup Road and more than 200 revelers came out to support the CDA and wish Bob Hagan a happy birthday. To honor Bob, everyone was wearing red-framed glasses after the style that Bob has affected for a long time now. But everybody loves Bob. And why not? Bob is the male version of Ado Annie (the girl who “Cain’t Say No”) when it comes to a worthy cause. He has been a board member of more charities and nonprofits than I can name, but he is more than that. He is also a worker bee on those boards. Sometimes you get those folks who will volunteer for a board and just show up for the gala – someone who likes to wear the hat but doesn’t get his hands dirty. That’s not Bob. He leads by example. It was telling that there

HATCHER HURD

Executive Editor hatcher@ appenmediagroup.com

must have been 35 Roswell Rotarians on hand, including their district governor and past president – which, of course, is Bob. Shoot, Bob probably told them the party counted as a makeup meeting. Roswell Rotary has been the top-ranked club for its size, lo these many years – about as long as I have lived in North Fulton anyway. Now that I think of it, most of the people at Bob’s party were movers and shakers who give back to the community in so many ways. Most any one of them could have merited a party. But it just goes to show that Roswell is a giving city. You see, the Child Development Association is a homegrown nonprofit that is dedicated to giving preschool children of the working poor a nationally certified preschool education that will start those kids on an equal footing when they enter first grade. But there are more:

HomeStretch is another homegrown North Fulton nonprofit. It provides homeless families with a roof over their heads and a bootstrap program that helps get those parents working again, saving money and finally into homes of their own. Of course, North Fulton Charities is the granddaddy of them all. Since the 1980s NFCC has been assisting families with basic needs such as food, rent and utilities, clothing, and adult-education classes during short-term emergencies. The Drake House is another nonprofit, but this one targets homeless mothers and their children. They, too, get a place to live and have access to back-to-work programs. One of things I like is they keep kids in their same North Fulton schools so they stay with their friends. You can find Bob’s fingerprints on many of these charities and others in the community. And, if you glanced around the room during Bob’s party, just about everyone in attendance represented one organization or another helping others – the Roswell Women’s Club, the Roswell Lions, Enable of Georgia and The Children’s Restoration of Network.

Congressman Tom Price came to sing Bob’s praises too.

Council tables Arnold Mill code Resident objections raise concern By JONATHAN COPSEY jonathan@appenmediagroup.com MILTON, Ga. – In a unanimous decision, the Milton City Council agreed to take another look at the Arnold Mill Form-Based Code overlay. The vote was taken at their Aug. 17 meeting to table the item pending legal review. Despite the discussions and crafting on the code taking place over the past several months, disagreements in the community – notably some landowners along Arnold Mill Road – have raised questions about the proposed code. City Attorney Ken Jarrard said his office will review the code. A form-based code allows different uses in a structure, so long as the buildings are standard. Houses can remain homes, or they could be turned into officers or stores. The new code could encompass properties along Arnold Mill from the county line in the north to the intersection with New Providence Road in the south. More intense development – “hamlets” – would be

allowed near the intersections of Chadwick Farm Boulevard and Cox Road. Such a code has been applied in the areas of Crabapple and Deerfield. All three areas were slated for new code in the city’s comprehensive plans. Arnold Mill is the last piece to go through the process. However, while Deerfield and Crabapple are high-traffic and high-density areas with a lot of commerce, Arnold Mill is largely single-family, road-front homes. Under the proposed code, the corridor will largely remain the equivalent of AG-1 – singlefamily homes on an acre of land – but it will be bookended by the two hamlets of commercial and office hubs. These are intended to be less dense than Crabapple. The city council looked at the code first in June before deferring it. The issue this time stems from a letter the city received from several of the affected property owners. It questioned the constitutionality of aspects of the code. Attorney Doug Dillard rep-

Hopefully we can come up with a plan that will work for everyone.” JOE LOCKWOOD Milton Mayor

resents several of the property owners along Arnold Mill Road. Dillard is a prominent zoning and land-use attorney. He said there are serious issues with the code that need to be addressed before it is implemented. “We are not opposed to form-based code… [but] the densities and structure of this particular code as it currently stands is not practical, not reasonable, it doesn’t provide an economic opportunity for property owners and it is not consistent with other formbased codes you have adopted, namely Crabapple.” Council agreed to table the item to seek further information, legal review and possibly tweak the code.

The proposed Arnold Mill Form-Based Code was tabled at the Aug. 17 Milton City Council meeting.

“Hopefully we can come up with a plan that will work

for everyone,” said Mayor Joe Lockwood.

Roswell’s Zitomer becomes first ‘Certified Eagle Scout honored with award Public Communicator’ in Georgia ROSWELL, Ga. — City of Roswell Community Relations Coordinator Karen Zitomer became the first Certified Public Communicator (CPC) in the state of Georgia when she completed Texas Christian University’s CPC Program in Fort Worth last month. Started in 2013, the CPC program is the first of its kind in the nation—a 95-hour graduatelevel certification program specifically designed for public information professionals working for cities, counties, school districts and other public and public-private agencies. “People who communicate for cities, counties and school districts have some of the most important jobs in the business,” said CPC codirector Jacqueline Lambiase, Ph.D., who is also director of Texas Christian University’s (TCU) School of Strategic Communication. “Planning can help these organizations work even better and smarter during crisis and everyday communication, for real engagement with stakeholders.” During the program, which spanned two summer sessions and one winter in-residence session, Zitomer worked on a three-year comprehensive communications plan for the City of Roswell. Extensive classroom instruction with public relations, marketing and public administration professors was included, along with the latest information on metrics, social influence and digital media. “The CPC program offered me an invaluable experience to enhance the knowledge and skills I need to better serve my community,” said Zitomer. “I am grateful for the opportunity and am looking forward to applying all I have learned to improve communications and help share the

Restore your vision – Refresh your appearance With Dr. Kiran Sajja Our eyelids play a vital role in the normal function of our eyes and maintenance of clear vision. First, the eyelids are a physical barrier that shields the ocular surface from the damaging environment. Second, the motion of the eyelids allow for the even spread of our tears over the surface of our eyes necessary for optimal visual clarity. And finally, the eyelids define the overall aesthetic of the face and convey our emotion and mood. Eyelid dermatochalasis

or “eyelid bagginess” is related to stretching and thinning of the eyelid skin. This often affects both the upper and lower eyelids SAJJA giving a puffy or wrinkled appearance. At times, the excess skin can rest on or over your eyelashes interfering with your vision. Other common complaints include eyelid redness or itchiness, tearing, or headache. Women

often note difficulty applying and maintaining eye make-up, such as mascara, eyeliner or eye shadow. This condition can be significantly improved with an easy outpatient surgical procedure. Your evaluation with Dr. Sajja would determine if the procedure is covered by your medical insurance.

Alpha Family Medicine Are you having a hard time finding a primary care doctor? According to a recent report by the Georgia Board for Physician Workforce, the state ranked 39th in the ratio of doctors per 100,000 population. The doctor shortage continues to limit patients’ access to care and is most critical in primary care. Some doctors have stopped taking new patients altogether. If you do find a doctor that will accept you as a new patient, you may still have to wait if you want to schedule a routine visit. If you are on Medicare or Medicaid you might not be able to find a doctor and may have to visit the emergency room. In which case, you will have to wait and may not see the same doctor again. There is a solution – the best time to find a new primary care doctor is when a new practice opens. You need to sign up early on, even if it’s for a routine physical. Most insurances pay for a physical once a year without requiring any co-pay. If you sign up early on, the doctor will be familiar with your medical history and it will be easier to get an appointment later on when you have a medical condition. You need to sign up before the doctor stops accepting new patients! Fortunately, for residents of North Atlanta, signing up with an experienced primary care doctor just got easier with the opening of a new clinic in Alpharetta. Alpha Family Medicine is a primary care clinic that specializes in Family and Geriatric Medicine for all ages – children, adults and elders. The clinic is centrally located on North Main Street (Highway 9), close to City Hall. Currently, the clinic is accepting new patients. You can walk-in or schedule a same day appointment with the Doctor. Or if you cannot make it during office hours, you can schedule an appointment for early mornings late evenings, or weekends. The clinic is operated by Shyla Reddy, MD and her medical staff. Dr. Reddy has more than 15 years of primary care experience in Family & Geriatric Medicine. She is board certified in Family and Geriatric Medicine. She taught/supervised medical students and resident doctors in an university setting. She also obtained a fellowship in Geriatric Medicine and Gerontology from Emory University.

Mary Smith, to cancer, and I don’t know a soul who has not been touched by cancer in one way or another,” she said. “I watched these courageous women who said, ‘We have to make a difference.’ And that’s a story I wanted us to tell.” Securing the rights to the play itself was a story of determination and grit. As soon as they got back stateside, Anita Farley called London to negotiate the rights to produce

Well, “Calendar” was in the midst of becoming the most successful advance box-office hit London’s West End had ever had. And the answer was always, “Teddibly, teddibly sorry, but no.” And so the calling continued. Every six months or so, Anita Farley would call about the rights. “Finally after years of cross-Atlantic calls, it got to the point that they would say, ‘Oh, it’s Anita on the line.’ But it eventually paid off,” said Robert Fairly. “We had the first U.S. rights for the play.” He is equally excited about bringing this play to GET. “We have wanted to get this

play and bring it to Roswell and Atlanta for a long, long time. It shows the empowerment of women who come together and do something that might be controversial in their own community, but for a great cause,” he said. Equally amazing was the bonding of those women in the cast over the summer as they rehearsed it, he said. The movie version focuses on the relationship of two of the women, but the play delves into the lives of 10 ordinary women. “What unifies and ‘disunifies’ is how they get swept up in a nationwide story. It’s ridiculously funny one moment

and dead serious the next,” he said. “So it is not just a play but something to experience. When it’s over, you don’t have to be a cancer survivor to be affected. It just says so much about healing and the empowerment of women.” Anita Farley agreed. “If there is one thing I want people to take away from the play, it is life is precious,” she said. “And that we can come together as a community and celebrate that.” Word has quickly spread about what has become an Atlanta event, and GET has already extended the run another week.

Citizen group wants to save 53 Roswell acres Holcomb Bridge property home To old-growth forest, history By HATCHER HURD hatcher@appenmediagroup.com ROSWELL, Ga. – Fifty-three undeveloped acres on Holcomb Bridge Road between the Martins Landing community and Eves Road are the target of local preservationists who want the city of Roswell to buy the land for future generations. It is called the Seven Branches Legacy Project after the Seven Branches Creek and its tributaries that run through the property. The project is led by retired airline captain L.W. “Tuck” Tucker and former Roswell City Council members David Tolleson and Paula Winiski. All three have led green efforts in the city in the past. Tucker, a Martins Landing resident, headed up the successful effort to preserve 38 acres on the Chattahoochee River adjacent to Martins Landing, which is now part of the city’s riverside parkland. Tolleson was a leader in the effort to purchase what is now Big Creek Park in Roswell. It had been slated for another subdivision off Old Alabama Road. Legacy Project co-chair Winiski is also a longtime supporter of Roswell green initiatives. They say they have already enlisted the support of 13 Ro-

swell homeowner associations representing 5,749 homes. Of course, the real sales job will be needed on the Roswell City Council. It is the body that would have to come up with a reported asking price of $5.3 million. That works out to $100,000 per acre of what would appear to be prime residential and commercial real estate. However, there are some practical reasons why the four assemblages that make up the property have not fallen to the developer’s bulldozer. The property’s seven creeks and the watershed setbacks render much of the property undevelopable. Likewise, it is a rough, steep and topographically challenged property that at best would raise development costs high, perhaps prohibitively

high to develop much of it. But haggling over the price is not their job. What Seven Branches Legacy wants to do is create awareness that this is a rare and unique property. “It is the last undisturbed tract of this size in the city and it is perfectly situated as a recreational park, a conduit for East Roswell Park to reach the city’s river parkland, and it has a lot of the city’s history tied to it as well,” Tucker said. Michael Hitt, Roswell’s unofficial historian, said he has found the roadbed for the original Alabama Road that ran from Lawrenceville through what is now Roswell and into Alabama. “Not only is that roadbed still there, but it would make a gentle walking path all the way to the river,” Hitt said. In addition to archeologi-

cal sites of early white settlers on the property, there are also Native American campsites as well. “I believe there is one Indian mound site that has been discovered. There are home sites where people panned for gold as well,” Hitt said. While gold mining and panning is better known to the north in Dahlonega, there were gold prospectors still trying their luck on the property as late as 1948. “So there had to be enough success to warrant activity into the mid-20th century,” he said. “And there are Indian artifacts in the area that go as far back as 8,000 B.C.” Winiski said she has been “blown away” by the positive community response to the Legacy’s challenge. “I don’t think we will have any trouble letting the City Council know of the support from the public,” she said. Tolleson said it would become a major connective link in the city’s park system. “It provides an opportunity

to connect the Garrard Park and East Roswell Park to the Chattahoochee and our parks there,” he said. “It would be a way for hikers and bikers to connect without getting out on Holcomb Bridge Road. “What this does is give the residents a chance to go deep in the forest,” he said. Tucker said it would be a “special gift” the citizens of today could make to Roswell’s future generations. “The longer we wait, the harder it will be to get a property like this. In Dunwoody, they just paid $3.5 million for 3.5 acres. We would be getting 73 acres.” Environmental activist Vic Farmer, a former Sandy Springs resident and now Roswell resident, agreed. “This is a once-in-a-generation opportunity,” Farmer said. “This is urban bio-preservation. It’s a living classroom for four schools and a library in walking distance to the property. It’s a chance to go back in time and see where Roswell came from.”

Most of the time I shoot in the 60s, but I should because this is my home golf course.” His father, Ron Topper, a Laurel Springs resident, takes the achievement in stride. “He almost won it last year at 13. He came in third,” Topper said, not without out a trace of paternal pride. Topper has reason to be proud. Preston at 5 feet 10 inches tall and 180 pounds, is rated by the Junior Golf Scoreboard among the top 20 young golfers in the world, and he’s second in Georgia for his age group. Two years ago, he was chosen to play in the U.S. Kids Golf Ryder Cup match against an International junior team at the famed Pinehurst No. 2 in North Carolina. He and his partner were low medalists during the competition where they shot 66 and led the U.S. team to victory. Topper said his son first picked up a golf club at the

JOHNS CREEK, Ga. – Preston Topper won the 2015 Standard Club’s Men’s Golf Championship in June, but he couldn’t buy the traditional first round of drinks at the club. You see, he’s only 14. He posted a spectacular 10-under score of 206 for three rounds (64, 70, 72) to win his club’s medal tournament. That opening round of 64 is the second-lowest score ever posted at the 148-year-old club since it moved to Johns Creek. The win made Preston the Standard Club’s youngest champion and he may just be the youngest private-club men’s champion anywhere ever (the Internet is silent on golf club champions). Nevertheless, it is quite an achievement. Asked what he did to win, Preston was laconic but accurate. “I just played good, that’s all,” he said. Then he added, “I have

ripe old age of 2. By the time he was 4, Preston was playing competitive golf in the 6-andunder class. So it is no wonder he literally cannot recall a time when he did not play golf. He is enrolled at William & Reed Academy, which emphasizes academics while specializing in accommodating young athlete’s schedules. “It’s a good school with good teachers,” he said. So Preston’s day is school from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Then he is off to the Standard Club to work on his golf game. “I’ll come to the club and chip a little and putt a little. And then I’ll go play.” He said he prefers driving the ball to all other aspects of the game. “That’s my favorite part. But golf, it’s all in your head really,” he said. “And repetition,” his father added. And when he’s done with his round of golf? “I’ll either go fishing or putt a little more.” Fishing is where he has just come from before his 10 a.m. interview. Preston wasn’t asked if he can ever remember not fishing, but the guess is no. “He’s a fishing guru,” his dad said. Preston allows that he also hangs out with friends and plays video games – when it’s cold outside. He definitely wants to go to college and his plan, not surprisingly, is to play collegiate golf. Officially he would consider Georgia, Alabama or Auburn, but really his preference is Georgia. He likes the way Georgia

What does he like best? “Everything. There’s nothing not to like at Georgia – the coaches, the facilities, all of it. Coach [Chris] Haack really knows how to get players ready.” So there you have it.

He says he would like to be a lawyer, he loves to debate.” So this 14-year-old gazing into the future is asked what is his biggest dream? “Probably to win the Masters.” Big surprise there, eh?

Sights from the game:

MILTON, Ga. – The Milton Eagles look to beat the Alpharetta Raiders for the fourth year in a row Friday, Aug. 28, in the first regular-season game for both teams. Although Alpharetta lost most of their top skill players on both sides of the ball, including quarterback Austin King and defensive lineman Andrew Butcher, their offensive line remains strong. Look for returning Raiders receiver Nick Carlton to be an impact player. On Milton’s side of the ball, the Eagles saw 21 seniors graduate from last year’s team, but only five of them were major impact players. Look for quarterback David Moore behind offensive lineman Tyler Watson to have a big game. Moore, a transfer from Texas, saw little action for the Eagles last year. Despite lack of playing experience, he is gaining interest among recruiters as a dual threat runner-passer. Defensive lineman Austin Mitchell,

Repasy, Bluth lead Milton Cross Country Eagle Cross Country Teams Open 2015 Season MILTON, Ga. -- The crosscountry teams at Milton High School opened their season Aug. 15 with their annual time trial race to set their rosters for their first meet. The time trial race was held on the Milton High School course known as one of the toughest and slowest in the state.

GIRLS The Lady Eagles are coming off their best state finish ever in school history (third) and showed no signs of any weak-

ness after the time trial race. Leading the way for the ladies was junior Marie Repasy. Her performance not only won the race but her time (21:14) was the third-fastest ever run on the course by a Milton athlete. Repasy moved in front just before 3 kilometers and never looked back. Senior captain Riley Burr (2nd-22:04) followed and fellow senior captain Victoria Wagner (3rd-22:32) concluded the topthree award winners. Wagner also captained her winning “Team Kendall” to the victory over 11 scoring squads. Team Kendall included Samantha Lenox, Faith Wagner, Kristy Weaver, Brooke Aumer, Fernanda Bonilla, Kendall Salmon and Wagner.

BOYS Leaving just where he left off in 2014, senior Jack Bluth repeated as the overall winner. After shaking off a strong group of chasers, Bluth moved to the front for good just past the mile mark and ran just 14 seconds off the course record (1st-17:45). Sophomore Sam Bowers (2nd-18:05) and senior captain Clay Marshall (3rd18:21) concluded the individual award winners. Senior John Fravel led his team “Oh Wait, In 4th Place” to the team title, besting 10 scoring teams. Winning team members included Hayden Davis, Angel Zamorano, Andrew Blizzard, Jack Rush, Jacob Jordan and Lincoln Tady, along with Fravel. Both squads, which are

The relative rankings are released as “Beating the Odds” schools. None of the three Georgia schools ranked in the Top 500 on that list are in Fulton County.
