What is Traumatic Hyphema? By Dr. Cassandra Baker
Injuries to the eye can range from very minor to visually threatening. Blunt eye trauma due to physical injury, can lead to more severe sequelae including injury to the cornea, conjunctiva, lens, retina, vitreous, optic nerve, as well as to the iris and other ocular drainage structures. When damage to the iris and ocular drainage structures occurs, an internal eye bleed can occur. This is called a hyCassandra Baker, O.D. phema. Blunt force injuries are typically from projectile objects that hit a portion of the eye not protected by the bony orbital rim or at hit the eye at high speeds: rocks, paint balls, toys, balls, fists, pellet/BB gun bullets, airbags, bungee cords, etc. A hyphema is the presence of blood in the anterior chamber of the eye. Its incidence has been estimated at 17-20 per 100,000 people per year. This blood is from the colored part of the eye—the iris— which has a dense network of blood vessels to supply nutrients to many parts of the eye. When one or many of these blood vessels is damaged or torn during an injury, blood leaks into the front chamber of the eye and results in decreased or complete loss of vision, eye pain, light sensitivity, increased intraocular pressure, and can result in long term effects as well. Blunt trauma with a hyphema requires immediate care and close follow up by an eye care professional. Unfortunately, there is not an ideal way to manage and treat this condition quickly. The blood is typically monitored as it is resorbed through the drain of the eye which can take many days to sometimes weeks for full resolution. For large, persistent bleeds, the blood may need to be surgically drained. Treatment of a traumatic hyphema involves controlling eye pain, managing eye pressure, preventing re-bleeds in the eye, minimizing corneal staining, and avoiding damage to the optic nerve. This includes using eye drops to control the pain and eye pressure if elevated, positioning of the head to allow blood to settle and minimize contact with the cornea, wearing a patch when sleeping to protect the eye from further trauma and occurrence of re-bleeds, and possibly surgery for non-resolving and severe cases. Essentially all hyphemas result in decreased vision and pain, some more than others. However, about 32% of patients with hyphemas have elevated intraocular pressures that must be managed. Patients with preexisting glaucoma are more prone to elevated pressures after a traumatic hyphema. Fortunately, most of these pressure increases can be treated topically and return to normal with resolution. Close monitoring by an eye care provider is necessary while the initial hyphema is present as well as after resolution for larger bleeds due to concern for long term effects including glaucoma.

By JULIA GROCHOWSKI julia@appenmediagroup.com ROSWELL, Ga. — Another Roswell City Council seat is up for election this fall. The council unanimously approved a motion Monday night to call a special election for Post 3 in conjunction with the existing seats up for election Nov. 7. The special election is to fill the spot of former Councilman Donald Horton, who was the liaison to the Administration and Finance Department. Horton resigned Aug. 23, after announcing he will run for the Roswell mayor. His seat on the City Council was not set to expire until Dec. 31, 2019. Qualifying for the special called election will be held from Wednesday, Sept 6 to Friday Sept. 8, 8:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m. The qualifying fee will be 3 percent of the total gross salary for the office, or $540. The special election will be held at the same time as the general municipal elections for mayor and posts 4, 5 and 6 to avoid extra costs from Fulton County.
The special election will be held at the same time as the general municipal elections for mayor and posts 4, 5 and 6 to avoid extra costs from Fulton County. Councilmember Jerry Orlans has temporarily taken on Horton’s previous role as Administration and Finance liaison in addition to his existing responsibilities on the council. In other action at Monday’s meeting, the Roswell City Council unanimously approved two measures to advance the East Alley Pathway Improvement Project. Covering portions of Canton Street
behind Zest and The Real Fix Pizzeria, the project aims to “create an attractive, inviting space with clearly defined pedestrian areas” with permeable pavers and buried utilities. The project has been 25 years in the making. The budget for the work is currently set at $1,722,446 and will cover power relocation, geotechnical testing and construction. The budget includes $90,000 allocated for “unforeseen conditions.” To meet these costs, the council unanimously voted to accept $179,946 in grant funding from the Georgia Environmental Protection Division for the project. Director of Environmental and Public Works Dan Skalsky said his team plans to start the project in late September and plans to finish by the April 2018 Alive in Roswell celebrations. Rep. Karen Handel was also at the meeting and invited residents with any concerns to visit her new office location, Health and Human Services Secretary Tom Price’s old office, 85-C Mill Street, Suite 300, Roswell.
North Fulton CID elects Tim Perry as secretary ALPHARETTA, Ga. – The North Fulton Community Improvement District announced last week the election of Tim Perry as secretary of the board of directors. In his role, Perry will serve as the signing officer for organizational documents. “I’m thrilled to take on this additional responsibility for the North Fulton Community Improvement District,” said Perry, director of investments at North American Properties.
“Since joining the board, I have been pleased with the impact the North Fulton CID has had by efficiently and effectively improving the infrastructure throughout our district. I can’t wait to see what we do PERRY in the next few years,” he said. The exit of former executive director, Ann Hanlon, who previously
served as secretary of the board, left the position open. “Tim has been an active and engaged member of our board for several years,” said CID board member Tad Leithead. “In addition to his extraordinary leadership role at Avalon, he also contributes to the North Fulton community and is a great partner. I can think of no better person to step into this position.” To learn more about the North Fulton CID, visit www.NorthFultonCID. com or call 678-397-0570.

ROSWELL, Ga. — What began as a special called City Council meeting to consider new appointments to local boards and commissions quickly strayed to focus primarily on the contentious circumstances surrounding the process. The meeting was called to approve seven appointments for various boards and commissions in Roswell, including the Historic Preservation Commission, Planning Commission and Design Review Board. All six council members, including mayoral candidates Donald Horton and Lori Henry, were in attendance. Mayor Jere Wood, who is appealing a court order to remove him from office, was present and acted as a tie breaker in three votes. The meeting became contentious between two voting blocs in the council: council members Horton, Jerry Orlans and Nancy Diamond versus council members Henry, Mike Palermo and Marcelo Zapata. At the start of the meeting, Palermo said he had ethical issues and concerns about the meeting’s timing, not the nominees. He said that holding the meeting at 8:30 a.m., three business days before a regular council meeting was “decreasing transparency.” Only a handful of residents could attend due to its timing. Diamond, who has served on the council for almost eight years, said that they “often” hold such meetings in the morning. She added that the positions have gone unfilled for so long that the boards risked not being able to field a quorum. The past four special called council meetings have been held in the late afternoon. This information and agenda for this meeting, as with the past meeting, were on the city’s calendar for days before the actual meeting. Palermo also said at the meeting that Wood was pushing the reappointments through without giving other citizens the chance to run for the positions. He asked to defer the nominations to a regularly scheduled meeting, but the motion failed for a lack of majority. Before the voting for the agenda items began, Henry said she would oppose all of the nominees if the council did not defer them because she was “disappointed” in the process. Horton said he has tried to find more nominees willing to volunteer, but
the “numerous” potential candidates he reached out to turned down the offer. Diamond added that the people she approached turned down the positions because they were afraid of exposing themselves and their family to the vitriol often lodged at public officials in Roswell, especially on the internet. Tensions between the factions grew to such a height that Wood called for a

The city’s audio recording of the meeting cut out during this time, but a video posted by group RoswellGACitizens shows councilmembers continuing to discuss the timing of the meeting. During the voting process, Palermo railed against the mayor for using divisive tactics and criticized his “reign” for pushing his agenda through the council. One citizen who was attending the meeting was escorted out by police for what Wood said was speaking out of turn instead of during public comment. Three appointments were approved after Wood cast tie-breaking votes: Alex Paulson to the Historic Preservation Commission, Ida Patterson Dorvee to the Board of Zoning Appeals and Mike Martin to the Construction Board of Adjustment and Appeals. Two appointments – Bryan Chamberlain to the Planning Commission and Michele Del Monaco to the Design Review Board – failed 2 to 4, with Horton joining Henry, Palermo and Zapata in opposition. The remaining items failed for lack of a second, were removed from the agenda or failed to get a motion.

Eaves steps down as head of Fulton County Commission Ellis to hold post until voters elect new chairman ATLANTA – Fulton County Commission Chairman John Eaves resigned his seat Aug. 23, citing plans to run for Atlanta mayor this fall. Eaves first took office as chairman in 2007, and was re-elected in 2010 and 2014. Vice Chairman Bob Ellis, District 2, will serve as the commission’s interim chairman until a replacement is elected in November to fill out the term, which ends Dec. 31, 2018. “I offer my sincere thanks to Chairman Eaves for his years of service to Fulton County,” Ellis said. “Together, we have launched key initiatives to improve county government and better serve our citizens. I assure you that those initiatives will continue in the months ahead as we work to improve the programs and services we offer in
the state’s largest county.” Ellis gained notoriety recently by joining with Eaves to campaign against the 2017 property assessments mailed to residents in June. Ellis and Eaves hosted close to a dozen town hall meetings, many across North Fulton, to address large increases in property values assigned to homeowners. That protest ultimately resulted in a successful move by the County Commission to roll back residential property assessments to 2016 levels. “It’s amazing what we got done during the 10 years I was leading our state’s largest county and it’s one million residents,” Eaves said. “Now, that the county is safer, healthier, smarter and economically stronger, it is time for me to continue my service at City Hall.” The Fulton County Board of Registration & Elections is expected to hold a special called meeting soon to formally call for the election and to establish the qualifying period. —Patrick Fox
Roswell city races draw large slate of candidates Five people to vie for mayor’s seat ROSWELL, Ga. — All seats up for election in Roswell this fall will be contested, but it’s the mayor’s race which has drawn the most interest. Five people have qualified as mayoral candidates, including two current council members – mayor pro tem Donald Horton and Councilwoman Lori Henry. A third candidate, Michael Litten, successfully sued current mayor Jere Wood for violation of the city’s term limit ordinance. That case is now on appeal, but Wood has stated he will not run again. Political activist Sandra Sidhom and Eagles Nest Church Founder Lee Jenkins also qualified for the mayor’s seat. Marie Willsey, a former candidate
for Henry’s current seat, has set her sights on Post 4, the liaison to Environmental and Public Works departments. She will face Andrew Leonardi and Meg McClanahan in the race. Post 5, liaison to the Transportation Department, will feature a race between Keith Goeke and Matthew Tyser. The seat is currently occupied by Councilmember Jerry Orlans who is not running. Three people qualified for Post 6, which is currently occupied by Councilmember Nancy Diamond who is also not seeking re-election. The seat is the liaison to Recreation & Parks, and will be decided between Matt Judy, Karen Parrish and Gus Hadorn. Elections will be held Nov. 7. If there is a runoff, which is likely for the mayor’s seat, it will be held Dec. 5. —Julia Grochowski

OPINION
ROSWELL CITY COUNCIL
JERRY ORLANS
Jerry Orlans: Stepping down after 25 years
After 25 years of service on the Roswell City Council, I have decided to not seek re-election. It is humbling to know that the community put their faith in me for so many years. I have been proud to serve the residents of this great city and have seen significant changes and improvements during that time. Roswell is a unique place to live and work, and I am honored to have been a part of all the positive changes we have experienced. The city has won multiple awards as one of the best places to live and work. Other improvements have been the revitalization of Canton Street, continued expansion of our parks, pursuit of grant money and building our “best in the state” recycling center. The city has grown tremendously during my tenure. My attempts to keep that small-town atmosphere led me to suggest and initiate our July 4th fireworks followed by the end-ofRoswell City Council
summer Labor Day fireworks. In keeping our city green, I initiated the first tree ordinance in the mid-‘90s as the liaison for the Environmental Department. We have always been fiscally responsible with taxpayer dollars. Because of those efforts, Roswell is one of the few cities in the country with an AAA bond rating. I was pleased to be a part of that and to lend my business experience to the city over the years. As I step down from my position, I believe the city is better than I found it 25 years ago. While there is much rancor in today’s political environment, I am optimistic that Roswell will remain a sought-after community. We have laid the foundation for many great improvements to come. These include redevelopment of the Southern Skillet property, additional Eastside redevelopment, more trails and, soon, a new City Green. My wife and I have raised three
children in Roswell, and all have grown to be well-educated, awesome adults who have enjoyed the experiences and advantages of Roswell as a big city but with a small-town atmosphere. I am not leaving but will continue to live and work in Roswell and play an active part of the community. I will assist the new City Council as they desire. As with the last 25 years, I will continue working to keep Roswell the quality community that it has become. It is with great mixed emotions that I step down to pursue new adventures in serving others. I thank you for your wonderful support. Meeting so many people over the years has been the highlight and greatest reward. Your approval during the six election cycles has been thrilling and the best compliment I could ever receive. We still have work to do – so let’s get to it. Get involved!

Solar eclipse is day off for thousands of students North Fulton schools experience absentee rate of more than 50 percent By CANDY WAYLOCK candy@appenmediagroup.com
Hale said while the district did provide guidelines that all schools had to follow, the decision on how the schools would participate in the solar eclipse was left to the school.
FULTON COUNTY, Ga. - Fulton County School System officials are defending their decision to make Aug. 21 an excused absence for students, even though some schools operated with nearly more staff than students on the day of the solar eclipse. “We knew absenteeism would be high,” acknowledged Susan Hale, spokesperson for Fulton Schools. “But without a similar event to compare it to, we didn’t know exactly what to expect with the number of absences.” Out of 95,000 students enrolled in Fulton Schools this year, about 40,300 were not in school on Aug. 21—about four in every 10 students. Schools in North Fulton saw the highest rate of absenteeism, with more than half its student population taking the day off. The absentees were most notable in area high schools; Milton High had only 540 students show up out of a population of nearly 2,400 students. Roswell had similar numbers, with 1,831 students out of 2,240 absent on Aug. 21.
Middle school attendance varied, from Northwestern which had fewer than 300 students in school on Aug. 21 to Elkins Pointe where only 77 students were out. On average, elementary schools were running at half capacity. While all metro area school systems delayed afternoon dismissal during the height of the solar eclipse, not all systems opted to give students an excused absence to stay home. In Gwinnett County, the state’s largest district, students had to have a valid excuse to stay home on Aug. 21. That decision led to critical comments on Gwinnett’s social media sites as to why a trip to see the solar eclipse could not count as an educational excursion. In Fulton, Hale said comments were generally favorable regarding Fulton’s decision to make it a parent choice. “We feel we did the right thing by allowing parents to take their children out of school to observe this rare edu-
cational event without penalty to their attendance record,” said Hale. Anecdotally, parents said some teachers actually encouraged students to stay home on Aug. 21. The directive from the school system was that teachers could not test students that day, nor could any new material be
introduced. Hale said while the district did provide guidelines that all schools had to follow, the decision on how the schools would participate in the solar eclipse was left to the school. That meant some schools allowed their students to be outside during the eclipse, while others made the decision to keep kids inside for safety reasons. Many parents commented on Fulton’s Facebook page that they wished Fulton had a uniform policy, since some students had a great experience and others had nothing. “It is a shame all the schools didn’t plan to do the eclipse,” one parent commented. “Really, a missed opportunity to educate and have fun! Something that seems to be missing lately.”

Rotary to host golf, tennis tournaments for charity By JULIA GROCHOWSKI julia@appenmediagroup.com ROSWELL, Ga. — Get ready to grab your golf clubs and tennis rackets on Sept. 11 for a good cause. The Rotary Club of Roswell will host its 39th annual Aubrey Greenway Charity Golf and 5th annual Hagan Cup Charity Tennis Tournament, both held together this year at the Country Club of Roswell. This is the biggest yearly fundraising effort for Roswell Rotary. The funds will be used year-round to help over 30 local charities, with a focus on poverty, hunger, homelessness and education in the community. Two of the charities, End Human Trafficking and the anti-bullying program Be The Voice, have roots in Roswell Rotary and have expanded to have a global reach. “With your help, we can make a difference,” said Board Chairman Danny Broadway. “We greatly appreciate any contribution toward creating a better community.” Last year’s efforts raised over $200,000 in one day, a goal the Rotary
aims to match if not exceed this fall. Over 250 volunteer golfers and 75 tennis players supported the cause. The golf tournament begins at 7 a.m. with a putting green and driving range, while the tennis tournament will open at 8:30 a.m. Each tournament will end with an after party, including dinner, dancing, awards, Casino Night and raffle. Auction and raffle prizes will include vacations, dining, sports events, date nights and electronics. Some of the travel prize destinations include South Africa, Tuscany and South Carolina. In conjunction with the tournaments, the Rotary will also be hosting its annual 9-11 remembrance ceremony at the Roswell Area Park lake. This year’s tribute will include guest speaker Retired Brigadier Gen. Lawrence Dudney, Jr., who was a commander in the Georgia Army National Guard. He was working at the Pentagon when it was struck by an aircraft in 2001. Information about the tournaments and sponsorship packages are available at roswellrotary.club/fund.

Regional study targets Ga. 400 for employment growth North Fulton poised to expand in residents, jobs By PATRICK FOX pat@appenmediagroup.com ALPHARETTA, Ga. - A recent report by the Atlanta Regional Commission predicts major job growth along the Ga. 400 Corridor in North Fulton County, placing Roswell and Alpharetta at the center of an employment boom. The report estimates that between 2015 and 2040, the 10-county Metro Atlanta Region will add just over 1 million new jobs. Almost one-third of those jobs will be along the Ga. 400 Corridor, the study predicts. At the same time, the commission estimates a surge in population along the corridor to fill those jobs. The report predicts more than half a million people will move to the area over the next 23 years. “The Ga. 400 corridor has long been an engine of economic growth in our region, and we expect that to continue over the next 25 years,” said Mike Carnathan, Data and Analytics manager for the ARC. “This vibrant area is home to a large, well-educated population that is attractive to employers across
many sectors, from IT to healthcare.” The study includes data from 20 counties surrounding Metro Atlanta but focuses on the core counties of Cherokee, Clayton, Cobb, DeKalb, Douglas, Fayette, Fulton, Gwinnett, Henry and Rockdale. North Fulton has already seen a foreshadowing of the coming surge, with thousands of new jobs and residents added over the past four years. That growth has already strained some elements of the area’s capacity to handle the influx. “Certainly we want to make sure we are preparing workers to fill those available jobs,” said Bethany Usry, vice president for Economic and Talent Development for the North Fulton Chamber of Commerce. “That’s part of why we had a coordinated effort from K-12 and higher education to understand what the business needs are, so they can plan accordingly.” The chamber has formed a Talent Coalition that focuses on workforce development, constantly conferring with public and private schools throughout the area to coordinate curriculum.
ATLANTA REGIONAL COMMISSION
In addition to the K-12 schools, the coalition works with public and private colleges in the area to coordinate classes that will help supply a trained workforce. Both Gwinnett Tech and Georgia State University have satellite operations in Alpharetta, but the chamber also connects with private colleges,
such as DeVry, University of Phoenix, Argosy University and Troy University. Another challenge facing North Fulton now and most likely in the future is transportation. “We realize that that is an important part of the workforce conversation

Alpharetta Chamber names 2018 chairman WellStar executive hopes to concentrate on membership value By PATRICK FOX pat@appenmediagroup.com ALPHARETTA, Ga. – Keith Bowermaster, vice president of Communications for WellStar Health System, has been named chairman of the Alpharetta Chamber of Commerce for 2018. Bowermaster, who has served as an executive board member since the chamber’s founding in 2013, will succeed Scott Hutchison of Wilson-Hutchison Realty LLC. In his new role, Bowermaster said he wants to continue increasing membership, but his main focus will be concentrated on providing value for the organization’s 350-plus members. “We’ve done a great job of growing the chamber, and my predecessors – including the current chairman Scott Hutchison -- have all done some novel jobs growing relationships with businesses in the Alpharetta community,” he said. “I plan on continuing that, obviously, but one thing I really also want
to look at is making sure. That the membership has value for our members – and that there’s a high satisfaction rate which results in high renewal rates.” Bowermaster said this is a unique time BOWERMASTER for the chamber. At this the five-year juncture, it is important to step back and look inward at the organization. The chamber needs to see what it is doing well and where it can improve. The chamber constantly polls its members for ideas, he said. “We are young, especially compared to other chambers in the area,” Bowermaster said. “Those larger chambers have year-long leadership programs and events outside the area. I think Alpharetta will get there eventually. But right now we’re making sure members see value in their dues.” Value for members includes ensuring they are making the business and networking connections needed to grow their individual businesses at chambersponsored events and online.

Thousands gather for annual Ice Cream Crankin’ festival By PAULINA OSENENKO news@northfulton.com ROSWELL, Ga. — The Drake House recently hosted another successful Miss Mary’s Ice Cream Crankin’, drawing a hungry crowd of more than 3,000 visitors. This event celebrated its 13th year, with over 130 flavors of homemade ice cream, including Raspberry Jalapeño sorbet. The Dunwoody High School band kicked off the event following a warm welcome from Kathy Swahn, executive director of The Drake House. The nonprofit, founded in 2006, provides support for homeless mothers and children for up to 16 weeks. Over the past 10 years, the organization has served more thanr 400 mothers and 800 children in Roswell. “The Drake House is different than other organizations that facilitate mothers and children because they allow boys over the age of 12 to stay with their families, unlike many other organizations,” said board member Lynn Wilson. The Drake House has recently been raising money in order to launch The Drake Village, a community that allows mothers and children to stay over 16

[The tour law] has been a huge barrier to getting people into the taproom ...Customers had to go through leaps and bounds just to get into the brewery. TYLER ZARI, Jekyll Brewing’s taproom and events manager 15 | Alpharetta-Roswell Herald | August 31, 2017
Local breweries prepare for beer bill to go into effect New law will permit direct sales to patrons By JOE PARKER joe@appenmediagroup.com NORTH FULTON, Ga. — The state’s beer laws will get a much appreciated update for beer lovers Sept. 1 when Senate Bill 85 goes into effect. The law allows breweries to sell directly to customers, up to a case per person per day. The new law also permits on-site consumption of beer without requiring visitors to purchase a tour of the facility. Under the previous law, brewery visitors were required to pay for a tour and were then allowed to sample a limited amount of offerings. Direct sales were prohibited. In Alpharetta, Jekyll Brewing’s taproom and events manager Tyler Zari said the new regulations will make visiting breweries far more appealing. “[The tour law] has been a huge barrier to getting people into the taproom,” he said. “Customers had to go through leaps and bounds just to get into the brewery.” Zari said the Alpharetta brewery is “thrilled” about the new law, which played into their decision to expand their taproom. The renovation includes 16 taps, a new bar and a coffee roaster with multiple coffee offerings in addition to beer. The renovation should be complete by the time the law goes into effect. Not only will local patrons benefit
from the new laws, out-of-state visitors will no longer need a primer of the state’s beer laws before entering the brewery, Zari said. “Once people get used to not having to take a tour, people will be more inclined to visit the taproom,” he said. Expecting an increase in visitors when the law takes effect, Jekyll will be offering more brews, events and parties. Regulation now permit breweries to sell up to 3,000 barrels per year, about 41,000 cases. “We’re brewing a lot of new beers to be poured in the taproom that people can’t get anywhere else,” Zari said. To kick off the new regulations, Jekyll will be offering new selections starting Sept. 1. Roswell’s Abbey of the Holy Goats will also ring in the new law with a new brew, their first to be exclusively released in the taproom. The brewery will also expand its hours open to the public and will donate a percentage of its proceeds from Sept. 1 to the Georgia Craft Brewers Guild. One local brewery, Cumming’s Cherry Street, won’t be directly affected by the new law. Cherry Street is a brewpub coupled with Rick Tanner’s Grille and Bar. The brewery has been able to sell “to-go” bottles and growlers since SB 63 took effect in June of 2015. However, the brewery will still be celebrating the new law with an event releasing barrel-aged beers for the first time in “crowlers,” 32-ounce cans, a day before the new law takes effect. Though SB 85 won’t alter operations
JOE PARKER/HERALD
When Senate Bill 85 takes effect Sept. 1, breweries will be able to sell up to a case per day directly to customers. at Cherry Street, owner Nick Tanner still called the new regulations “mon-
umental” for Georgia’s craft brewing industry.

GSU GEORGIA ECONOMIC FORECAST:
BUSINESSPOSTS
Fintech, information sectors show jobs growth Upward employment trend weakens across Georgia By HATCHER HURD hatcher@appenmediagroup.com ATLANTA – While much of Georgia struggles with job growth, the information and financial activities (fintech) sectors are propping up the state’s jobs picture. That was part of the economic forecast delivered Aug. 23 by Rajeev Dhawan, director of Georgia State University’s Economic Forecasting Center. Much like the economy itself, Georgia’s jobs growth has been slipping after peaking at 32,000 jobs per quarter in 2014. Jobs fell to 28,500 per quarter in 2015 before rebounding to 30,000 jobs after a slow start in 2016. But 2017 has been sluggish, with a 25 percent fall-off from 2016 averaging only 24,500 jobs in the last two quar-
Economic Forecasting Center’s Georgia, Atlanta highlights • Georgia employment will gain 86,100 jobs (22,300 premium jobs) in calendar year 2017, 72,800 jobs (17,700 premium) in 2018 and 68,300 (16,400 premium) in 2019. • Atlanta will add 65,500 jobs (17,400 premium jobs) in calendar year 2017, 51,800 jobs (13,100 premium) in 2018 and 47,200 jobs (11,400 premium) in 2019.
ters. In the first six months the information sector grew by 4,100 new jobs (after registering no new jobs in the last half of 2016). “This is one of the strongest six months of job additions since the first half of 2014,” Dhawan said. Georgia boasts such major fintech companies as Kabbage, TSYS, Equifax and WorldPay along with such major insurance corporations as Blue Cross Blue Shield and Kaiser Permanente. Fintech added nearly 7,000 new jobs in the first six months this year, more than doubling the 3,000 jobs in the previous six months. In all, fintech, information, healthcare, transportation and wholesale represent industries with higher paying jobs, so their growth has huge ripple effect implications for the state’s entire economy. However, grouped together, these companies added 32,000 jobs so far in 2017 but are short of matching the 37,000 jobs these sectors added in the last six months 2016.
National forecast: Fed rate hike, tax cuts coming Nationally, Dhawan said we can expect a personal income tax cut and a Federal Reserve rate hike. This will occur after “October debt ceiling deliberations that at times will border on theatrics,” Dhawan said. “It will first get a bit shaky in October as the debt ceiling debate unnerves the financial markets, but only for a short while. Having no big legislative victories by then, Congress will tee up a personal income tax cut by Thanksgiving.” A small personal income tax cut for the middle class will boost consumption and growth into 2018, but Dhawan

said he expects it will be followed by an interest rate hike in December. “You tap the brakes harder only if you are gathering speed,” Dhawan said. “But, there is one small caveat on which a rate hike hinges. Markets will punish uncertainty surrounding the future head of the Federal Reserve.” Janet Yellen’s term as Federal Reserve Board Chair ends Feb. 1, 2018. In the short term, the forecaster does not foresee much happening regarding infrastructure. “I do not expect much infrastructure spending in coming years,” Dhawan wrote. “If it happens, it will help growth in 2019 and beyond. The multiplier takes a long time to originate from
these types of spending.” Meanwhile, Dhawan does not foresee international markets generating any problems. He said the appreciation found in the global stock markets is a sign there is little to worry about. “Markets can live with political dysfunction as long as the playing field rules are not changed capriciously,” Dhawan said. “They are signaling the Trump administration’s rhetoric versus its actual and projected actions on trade are not matching up.” The lack of any tariffs imposed on China suggests the current administration is still relying on President Xi Jinping to manage the “real problem child in the geopolitical domain, North Korea.
Delta Dental expansion brings 200 jobs to Roswell ROSWELL, Ga. – Delta Dental Insurance Co. is expanding its footprint in Roswell, signing a lease for 51,265 additional square feet of space in Sanctuary Park and bringing up to 200 new jobs to the city. Part of the nation’s largest dental benefits carrier, Delta Dental will have 215,265 square feet of Class A office space leased. The company will take occupancy in October of the top two floors at Stonebridge II, at 1120 Sanctuary Parkway in that portion that lies within Roswell’s
city limits. The expansion brings Delta Dental’s total number of employees to 1,000. Most of the growth will take place in the company’s customer service unit. Roswell Inc has been involved with this project since February of 2016. “We knew this office space would become available before it hit the market. We also knew Delta Dental was looking at expansion opportunities locally,” said Steve Stroud, executive director of Roswell Inc. “So we were able to connect the dots and get all the right people at
the table in a timely way to make this deal happen. “Anytime you add this many jobs to a local economy, it’s a big deal for the community.” Delta Dental is part of a group of companies under common management that collectively serve 36.5 million enrollees nationwide. Sanctuary Park houses one of three national customer service centers as well as sales, enrollment and other key departments “We’re delighted to have found a
LEED Gold building, and we’ll be building out the interior to those standards as well,” said Tonia Leonardos, facilities director for Delta Dental. This expansion takes place within the boundary of the Roswell Opportunity Zone, an area of the city designated as part of the state incentive program to encourage redevelopment and revitalization. The incentive offers companies tax credits for new jobs created for up to five years, which was a large factor in securing the lease.

Norton says Forsyth County will continue strong growth Home prices, population targeted for increases By KATHLEEN STURGEON kathleen@appenmediagroup.com FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. — Forsyth County is well on its way to reaching half a million residents by 2047, according to Frank Norton, the CEO and chairman of The Norton Agency which specializes in North Georgia real estate. Norton takes data from communities in northeast Georgia such as Forsyth County and compares and predicts future outcomes including population size, housing market and workforce. About 10 years ago, Georgia Tech published a study that looked at metro Atlanta in 2050. By 2050, it said metro Atlanta will have 12.5 million people, about double what the population is today. “As I’ve said for the last 10 years, Atlanta isn’t going to move to us, Atlanta is going to move through us,” Norton said. “If that’s the case, how do we in Forsyth County maintain the soul, spirit, connectivity we share and quality of life in our community?” Norton said he looks at Forsyth County in stages, starting with its founding in the 1830s as an agricultural-based community until the 1970s. When Lake Lanier was created, the county became a place to buy a second home and a recreational community. It wasn’t until Ga. 400 was completed that the community moved into a bedroom phase where people flocked for quality of life, price of homes and a soon-to-be exceptional school system. “We were North Atlanta’s community bedroom,” Norton said. “We were the affordable choice.” Then from 1975 to today, the county decided to step up as a vibrant business player in all of metro Atlanta, including the technology and service medical industries. It wasn’t until 1980 that population boomed in Forsyth County. From 1980 to 1990, the county saw a 60 percent growth rate. Then from 1990 to 2010, the growth rate rose to 77.4 percent. But so far from 2010 to 2017, the growth rate has dropped to 44.2 percent, which Norton speculates will remain steady until 2047. From that data, Norton anticipates the county population will rise from about 230,000 currently, to about 270,000 in 2022 and 495,000 in 2047. In 1990, the population was 44,000
and it jumped to 175,000 in 2010. However, if the county keeps up the 77 percent growth rate that it had from 19902010, the population could end up around 720,000, but Norton doesn’t anticipate NORTON that. That’s the size of Gwinnett County, which is double the geographic size of Forsyth County. “It’ll temper based on what’s happening in the national economy,” Norton said. “But momentum of growth is already in our way. Whether our elected leaders put up a wall, there will still be industries that will hop over and you will grow.” Another significant transformation has been the median home value. It went from $155,000 in 1990 to just over $300,000 currently, and Norton anticipates it will climb to $626,000
As I’ve said for the last 10 years, Atlanta isn’t going to move to us, Atlanta is going to move through us,” Norton said. “If that’s the case, how do we in Forsyth County maintain the soul, spirit, connectivity we share and quality of life in our community?”
in 2047. Norton stressed the importance of affordable housing and said if the trends stay where they are now, not many people will be able to afford living in Forsyth County. “We are going to grow,” Norton said. “If we run this county the same way we did in 1990, we might as well be the state of Georgia. We will lose our identity and the humanness of Forsyth County.”

GET OUTSIDE, GEORGIA:
The ghost trestle of the Chattahoochee gorge As the weather cools, I start to think more and more about hiking. Everybody feels better as fall approaches, and I’m no exception. It doesn’t take much to get me thinking STEVE HUDSON about exploring the Get Outside Georgia, aa4bw@comcast.net outdoors on foot. That’s where my head was the other day as I set out to explore a remote part of the Chattahoochee River near Helen, far back in the Chattahoochee National Forest. I actually had a serious reason for the trip -- shooting some more photos for the new book on fishing for Chattahoochee trout. The day’s assignment was to shoot photos in a remote section of the upper Chattahoochee that I call “the gorge.” Sure, serious work was on the docket -- but if I happened to squeeze in a little flyfishing along the way, that would be just fine too. I love research like that! “The gorge” is a 4.5-mile section of river between Upper Chattahoochee River Campground and the Chattahoochee Wildlife Management Area check station on Forest Service Road 44 (Poplar Stump Road). Through that section, the river flows in a steepwalled valley with slopes too steep to climb. But down in the gorge, the river’s actually pretty flat and offers pretty good fishing too. We made it into the gorge, hiking in from near the WMA check station, and got the photos we needed. The fishing (okay, I admit it) was pretty good too. But what I really want to tell you about is the bridge that isn’t there. The story starts about 1913, at a time when timber and not tourism drove the Helen economy. That’s when the Byrd-Matthews Lumber Company built a sawmill in Helen. The company was cutting timber far back in the mountains. To transport the logs (some as much as eight feet in diameter) to the Helen mill, they constructed a narrow-gauge rail line which more or less followed the river. Much of the old railbed remains. Surprisingly, some of it is not too badly overgrown, and it actually makes a pretty decent hiking trail. “That old rail bed is not a bad way to get around along the river,” one oldtimer told me. “But you’ll have to cross the river a few times.” River crossings, eh? Originally, timber trestles carried the tracks across the river. Those trestles are long gone.
Fishing in the upper Chattahoochee near the ghost trestle. But its not hard to see where they once stood. Sometimes you’ll find an easy ford with a trail leading from the old track bed down to the water. But other times… We were walking along the old railbed, stopping now and then to drop down to the river and fish. We’d hike a bit, see a promising spot, and try it. Then we’d make our way back to the railbed and hike some more. Hike. Fish. Hike. Fish. It fell into a kind of rhythm, and it was good. We were in the “hiking” phase when suddenly and unexpectedly the railbed simply stopped. It literally disappeared into thin air. One minute we were walking on a not-so-bad trail. The next we were standing there looking out into space, like someone had chopped off the trail with a huge knife. It turns out that we were at the site of one of the trestles which used to cross the river. Down below us, the Chattahoochee flowed merrily along. On the far side we could see where the railbed continued on the other side of the gorge But between where we stood and where the railbed continued there was only a lot of empty air. “This must be one of those ‘interesting’ crossings,” I thought to myself, for the only way to continue was to drop back down to river level and then climb up to the railbed on the far side. Or we could simply stay and fish right there, which is what we decided
STEVE HUDSON
to do. The fishing was good, but the history was captivating. It wasn’t hard to imagine some long-ago steam locomotive pulling log-laden flatcars along the very route that we walked. I found it fun to paint that mental picture. The flip side, of course, was what the landscape must have looked like then, with trees clearcut and hillsides bare. I didn’t like part of the picture nearly as much. Not surprisingly, many modern-day adventurers stop right where we did. But I want to see the rest and check out more of the fishing, and (yes) I want to see where the railbed goes on the far side that ghost trestle too. Fall’s coming. It’s cooling off. The hiking is going to be great, and I’m making plans. Steve Hudson’s book, “HIKING THE HOOCH” covers the hiking trails of the Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area in Atlanta and is just the thing to help you put that new pass to work. The book is available from local outfitters or from Amazon. Signed copies are available direct from the author at chattahoocheemedia.com.

Week 2 (Aug. 25) football recap Milton, Centennial suffer last-minute losses By JOE PARKER joe@appenmediagroup.com
Class 7A North Gwinnett 31, Milton 28 — North Gwinnett scored a game-winning touchdown with 10 seconds remaining to hand Milton a heartbreaking loss at home. Milton took a 21-10 lead early in the fourth quarter, but the Bulldogs took the lead less than two minutes later with a long passing touchdown and a fumble recovery that set up another score. With just over five minutes remaining, Milton reclaimed the lead with a quarterback keeper from Jordan Yates. North Gwinnett then compiled the game-winning drive, sealing the win
with a 3-yard rushing touchdown with 10 seconds remaining. North Gwinnett improved to 3-0 alltime against Milton with the win. Dawson Co. 9, Forsyth Central 0 The only player to get on the scoring sheet between Dawson County and Forsyth Central Friday night was Tigers’ kicker Peyton Allen, who led Dawson to its first win over the Bulldogs since 2013. The Bulldogs are 8-6 all-time against Dawson. Forsyth Central’s loss was its first in a season-opening game since 2013. Mountain View 31, Lambert 13 — Lambert fell to Mountain View to open its season for the second straight year on Friday. After the Bears opened a 21-3 lead, Lambert cut the deficit with a Bobby Gabriel touchdown pass just before the half. However, Mountain View scored less
than a minute into the third quarter to go up three scores, a lead it maintained the rest of the game. North Forsyth 28, Johns Creek 6 — By halftime the final score was already set as Johns Creek fell to 0-2 to open its first season under head coach Matt Helmerich. North Forsyth opened a 14-0 lead in the first quarter, but a 57-yard pass from Gladiators’ quarterback Zach Gibson to Matthew Casey cut the lead to 14-6 after a failed 2-point conversion. North added two more touchdowns before halftime with the Raiders’ defense holding Johns Creek on multiple fourth down attempts to seal the win. South Forsyth 56, Pinecrest Academy 10 — Though South Forsyth and Pinecrest are separated by just over a mile, South’s second straight blowout of the Paladins showed the programs are leagues apart.

SPORTS
Continued from Page 20 28 more points in the second quarter. Jared Honey and Jordan Brunson each had two rushing scores for South in the win.
Class 6A Alpharetta 29, Gainesville 7 — Alpharetta’s Dylan Schorr went 5-5 on field goals against Gainesville Friday night, kicking the Raiders to their first victory of the season. Schorr connected from 25, 28, 33, 26, and 35 yards in a game that saw Alpharetta score 16 of its points in the second quarter. Quarterback Matthew Downing threw a 67-yard touchdown pass, and Nolan Edmunds added a 1-yard rushing score for the Raiders. Creekview 41, Cambridge 28 — Cambridge pounced on Creekview early, but a big third quarter from Creekview powered the Grizzlies to their sixth straight win over the Bears. Cambridge quarterback Hogan Dykes hit Ridge Polk for a 47-yard touchdown in the opening minutes, and the two teams exchanged scores with the Bears holding a 14-13 lead at the half. Creekview scored three unanswered touchdowns in the third quarter, enough separation to keep the Bears at bay when a failed onside kick late in the fourth sealed the Grizzlies’ win. Chattahoochee 22, Rockdale Co. 13 — Chattahoochee downed Rockdale County for the second straight year, sealing the win with a touchdown in the final half of the fourth quarter. Both teams exchanged the lead in the first half, with the Cougars holding a 15-13 edge at halftime. Midway through the fourth, Chattahoochee’s Brendan Huet came up with an interception, setting up the game-sealing touchdown for the Cougars. Wheeler 42, Centennial 38 — Centennial opened its season, the first under head coach Michael Perry, with a heartbreaking loss to Wheeler at home. In a back-and-forth game that featured six lead changes, the Knights led 30-28 with four minutes remaining before on onslaught of scoring. Wheeler took a 35-30 lead with just under four minutes to go, but Centennial responded with a rushing touchdown from Emeka Nwanze to reclaim the lead with 1:35 remaining. On its ensuing drive, Wheeler converted a third and long from its own territory, eventually setting up a touchdown pass with just 10 seconds remaining to go up 42-38.

Class 4A Blessed Trinity 35, St. Pius X 21 Playing in their 10th all-time meeting, Blessed Trinity knotted the all-time series at 5-5 with a win over rival St. Pius Friday night. The Golden Lions tied the game 1414 late in the third quarter, but BT responded less than a minute later with a 57-yard pass from Jake Smith to Ryan Davis. The Smith-to-Davis connection was the first of three unanswered scores from the Titans who opened a 35-14 lead midway through the fourth. Jake Smith had two passing touchdowns, and running back Steele Chambers compiled two rushing scores and a touchdown throw in the win.
Class-A Private
Mt. Paran 27, Fellowship Christian 7 — After beating Mt. Paran in the regular season and knocking the Eagles out of the playoffs last year, Fellowship Christian struggled Friday night in their first regular season loss in 12 games. The Eagles held a 19-0 lead at the half after converting five of eight third-down conversions and two fourth-down conversions to keep drives alive. Meanwhile, Fellowship’s offense compiled just 24 yards of total offense in the first half. A 58-yard touchdown rush from Merrick Haigler pulled the score to 19-7, but the Paladins were unable to close the gap. Rabun Co. 62, Mount Pisgah 21 — Mount Pisgah’s game against Rabun County was called a “no-contest” in the second quarter due to lightning last season. This year, the game went the distance with the Patriots on the losing end of a lopsided loss. Mount Pisgah tied the game 7-7 midway through the first, but it would be the last time the game was close. The Wildcats would open a 45-14 lead at the half and cruise to a 62-21 win. The Patriots are now 1-2 all-time against the Class AA Wildcats. Holy Innocents’ 35, St. Francis 18 — St. Francis dropped it season-opener on Saturday night to Holy Innocents’ for the second straight season. The Knights struck first with a 40-yard touchdown rush from Sean Paradise, the first of back-and-forth scoring between the teams. The Golden Bears scored a touchdown with eight seconds remaining in the second quarter to go up 28-18, securing the win after holding the Knights scoreless in the second half.

ROSWELL, Ga. — Centennial opened its season Friday night with a heartbreaking loss to Wheeler at home with the Wildcats sealing their 42-38 win with a long touchdown pass with just 10 seconds remaining. The offensive shootout featured six lead changes, including three in the final five minutes, nearly 1,000 combined offensive yards and 80 points. “I’m really proud of the effort,” Centennial coach Michael Perry said. “It was a roller coaster with the lead changing constantly, but they fought the entire game. We just made way too many mistakes on both sides of the ball.” Those mistakes included five turnovers, three touchdowns called back on penalties, and missed opportunities, including a dropped interception on Wheeler’s final drive. The first major mistake from Centennial allowed Wheeler to tie the game at 7-7 late in the first quarter when a Max Brosmer interception was returned for a touchdown. The teams exchanged blows until late in the second quarter when Wheeler scored two touchdowns in the final two minutes to open a 26-14 lead. Centennial kicker Nicky Solomon hit a field goal just before the half to cut the lead to 26-17. The Knights opened the third quarter with a touchdown and reclaimed the lead with a rushing score from Emeka Nwanze. A failed two-point conversion put the score at 30-26. Wheeler hit a field goal midway through the fourth to pull within one before a flurry of scoring in the final minutes. A 72-yard touchdown pass from Wheeler led to another lead change with just over four minutes remaining. Centennial’s Nwanze again found the end zone on the ground to put Centennial up 38-35 with 1:35 remaining. The Knights had two chances to put the game away in the final drive, but a dropped interception and a long third down conversion from Wheeler

set up the game winning play. Wheeler quarterback Landon Bradley connected with Reikan Donaldson for a 31-yard touchdown pass with 10 seconds left to seal the thrilling Wildcat win. “I think I died 1,000 deaths during that game,” Perry said. “I know we have a team that is going to learn from this. We’re going to fix some issues and get right back at it next week.” Perry said his offense had a lot of first game jitters, compounded by many new starters, and though the defense did well against Wheeler’s option, they struggled to get off the field on third down. Centennial will hope to keep those mistakes and nerves to a minimum this week as the team takes on 7A opponent South Forsyth (2-0). “We have a tremendous opponent in South,” Perry said. “We will have our hands full, but we’ll get after it and give it everything we have.”

Jobs: Continued from Page 12 because we need a way for workers that don’t necessarily live in North Fulton to be able to come here,” Usry said. Fulton County cities are just now receiving revenues from a transportation sales tax (TSPLOST) passed by voters last November. The money is expected to fund over $500 million in transportation improvements over the next five years. North Fulton cities alone are expected to garner more than $200 million from the tax to fund their projects. At the same time, Usry added, Fulton County is currently conducting a transit study to weigh options for future transportation initiatives. The first phase of the study involves public meetings with residents to gather ideas and weigh sentiment about various transit options, she said. Besides the cities’ own transportation initiatives, Usry said the North Fulton Community Improvement District, composed of business owners primarily along the Ga. 400 Corridor, has and continues to pour millions of dollars into transportation improvements. The CID has been responsible for supplying seed money for a variety of projects, including the Northwinds Parkway Extension which opened this week in

Harassing calls, ads target woman JOHNS CREEK, Ga. — A woman reported Aug. 19 that someone had been repeatedly calling her and posting Craigslist ads using her number to harass her. On Aug. 16, someone called her with targeted messages using profanity and vulgarity. She hung up, but

Alpharetta. In addition to transportation and workforce training, cities have recently introduced the issue of affordable workforce housing. While the debate on how to or whether to develop a strategy for such housing varies among cities, Usry said the chamber recognizes it as a growing issue. “The chamber is not currently taking any type of advocacy position on that topic,” she said. “However during our recent strategic planning process, some discussion about affordable housing did come up. And we are beginning to weave that topic into the transportation and workforce conversation.” She said the North Fulton Poverty Task Force recently addressed the issue at its quarterly meeting in July. The group is looking into housing options for what it terms “essential workers,” such as first responders, retail and service personnel. The issue has also come up at the regional level, Usry said. As a member of the Atlanta Regional Commission’s Catalyst Committee, Usry said the topic came up recently in discussions of an economic competitiveness strategy. “It was one of the topics that has bubbled up, certainly workforce and transportation, but affordable housing has bubbled up as a part of that conversation at the 10-county level,” she said. someone using the same number called her several times “in rapid succession” afterward. Two days later, she received five texts of a “threatening nature.” On the same day, she noticed that someone had posted a Craigslist ad for two phones and used her number as the contact number. She was able to contact Craigslist to take the listing down, but another phone ad using her contact information appeared hours later. The woman said she has not had an issue with anyone and does not know who could be harassing her.

Janet Anita Foley Ja
ALPHARETTA, Ga. — Local residents will soon have a shorter trip to get their driver’s licenses issued and renewed. The Georgia Department of Driver Services announced Aug. 23 it will close its current office in Sandy Springs, the only one in North Fulton, and open a new center in Alpharetta. The Sandy Springs office on Roswell Road will close Sept. 16 to relocate nine miles away at 11575 Maxwell Road. Opening Sept. 19, the “high tech” Alpharetta location will continue all of the same services as its precursor, including road tests, renewals, reinstatements and driving history reports. To accommodate the move, there will be no behind-the-wheel skill tests offered throughout the first week of operation. The center will resume administering such tests Tuesday, Sept. 26. The new center will include 21 customer service counters, up four from the previous facility, as well as 12 touch screen knowledge testing machines and 12 tech deck computers for customer applications and documentation. Seating is expected to accommo-
date over 100 people. The relocation was facilitated by an agreement between the Fulton County Board of Commissioners and the State of Georgia. Department of Driver Services Commissioner Spencer R. Moore said that the center was a great example of two governments working together for the betterment of their communities. The Alpharetta location will also house a Fulton County Tag Office to help residents complete title applications and license plate registrations. “It will be an ultimate convenience for customers to handle both Department of Driver Services and vehicle registration business during the same visit,” Moore said. “This is a deluxe center that our driver examiners and customers will enjoy for many years to come.” Hours of operation will be Tuesday through Friday, 7:30 a.m.-6:30 p.m., and Saturday, 7:30 a.m.-noon. To check the required documents before a visit, go to dds.georgia.gov. Those with a gold star on the upper right hand of their license may be able to renew online. The website also offers a “Skip a Step!” form to help shorten customers’ visits.

Georgia Ensemble Theatre’s 25th season – Let the party begin Retiring artistic director plans string of hit plays By HATCHER HURD hatcher@appenmediagroup.com ROSWELL, Ga. – Georgia Ensemble Theatre is celebrating its 25th year in Roswell, and it is also the last season for co-founder and Artistic Director Robert Farley – so this season is taking a page from old New Orleans: Laissez les bon temps rouler! “Every play is going to be a party,” said Farley. “It’s our silver anniversary and everybody is going to have a great time. Our theme for the season is It’s Your Party. “It’s a celebration and a tribute to our partners, donors and patrons.” It a season for new theater experiences and greeting old friends. The kickoff play is a double shot of theater magic. First, it is the smash Broadway hit “Once On This Island.” “It’s set on a Caribbean Island,” Farley said. “It’s a fable like the Little Mermaid, but with that Caribbean beat. We are so lucky to get this one. It’s headed back to Broadway and they would [license] it to us.” Directed and choreographed by Atlanta’s Ricardo Aponte, Farley said he thinks “Island” will set the tone for the entire season. “The music will really move you. You
can’t keep still,” he said. In October, Georgia Ensemble Theatre brings the latest Topher Payne comedy called “Morningside,” set in the Morningside neighborhood of Atlanta. Think “Steel FARLEY Magnolias” with a case of Champagne. After Christmas, it is time for “Tenderly – The Rosemary Clooney Musical,” and the chance to revisit her story and her many golden hits. It promises to be another great bio-musical for the company. In March, it is another of those “hellzapoppin” screwball comedies, “A Comedy of Tenors,” the long awaited companion to “Lend Me a Tenor” of Broadway and Tony fame. In April, Farley will direct his last Georgia Ensemble Theatre play. He will go out not with a whimper, nor just a bang. He will reprise the company’s all-time greatest hit “Buddy, The Buddy Holly Story.” So he just might tear the roof off. Simply the best rock ‘n’ roll musical of all time, “Buddy Holly” has been the theatre’s most requested “return” show. “I’m going to do what I enjoy most, which is telling a great story with some of the best rock ‘n’ roll songs ever written,” Farley said. This is Farley’s last season and he
wants it to be the best. He just may get his wish. It is also the season in which Assistant Artistic Director Alan Kilpatrick steps up to take on the duties of artistic director. “I think it was brilliant for the board to bring me in early on in 2016,” Kilpatrick said. “We had a year now for the audiences, the subscribers and the
donors to have gotten to know my face. Next year, I won’t be ‘that new guy.’” Farley echoed those thoughts. “I didn’t want GET to get ‘founder’s syndrome.’ What we have built here is bigger than one person. Besides, Anita [Farley, co-founder and managing director] is staying on,” Farley said. Kilpatrick piped up, “My first question was, ‘Is she staying?’”

In order to avoid misunderstandings, some advertisers do not offer employment but rather supply the readers with manuals, directories and other materials designed to help their clients establish mail order selling and other businesses at home. Under NO circumstance should you send any money in advance or give the client your checking, license identification or credit card numbers. Also beware of ads that claim to guarantee loans regardless of credit and note that if a credit repair company does business only over the phone it’s illegal to request any money before delivering its service. All funds are based in U.S. dollars. 800 numbers may or may not reach Canada.
