PUBLIC SAFETY

ALPHARETTA, Ga. – A couple and their five children lived quietly in an apartment off Old Roswell Road in Alpharetta. But it turns out Drug Enforcement Agency agents and Alpharetta Police officers were watching them, and Aug. 24 officers pounced and arrested them when they found 10 pounds of crystal methamphetamine and four pounds of marijuana as well as two handguns with serial numbers filed off.

Alpharetta Public Information Officer George Gordon said at a press conference the next day that the DEA

had informed Alpharetta of suspected drug trafficking going on at 161 Ivy Wood Lane.

DEA and police officers were prepared to serve warrants on a Hispanic Female Vendi Rivera, 31, and a Hispanic male Alonso Penaloza, 25, who lived in the apartment with their 5 children.

An alleged accomplice, Alejandro Garcia Leon, 20, was also arrested.

The police and DEA had the residence under surveillance when the three suspects suddenly got in a GMC Acadia SUV and left, Gordon said.

“The officers on the scene radioed to have the vehicle stopped, and then the officers executed the search warrant to enter the house,” he said.

Those three suspects were stopped

Pterygium – what is it and what can be done about it?

By Samir Virai, M.D.

Samir Vira, M.D.

Cataract & Refractive Surgeon

Pterygium is a noncancerous growth on the surface of the eye. It appears as a wingshaped fleshy growth that originates from the conjunctiva over the white part of the eye and extends into the cornea, the clear part of the eye. Also known as “surfer’s eye,” it can commonly occur in individuals who have prolonged exposure to sunlight, such as surfers, farmers, and construction workers. Besides UV light exposure, it is associated with windy and dusty exposure.

Individuals with pterygia can occasionally have no symptoms at all. These individuals can simply be observed but are advised to protect themselves from UV light with polarized sunglasses. Symptoms can include redness, foreign body sensation, irritation, itching, and also blurred vision. Blurred vision usually occurs due to distortion of the cornea’s shape or rarely due to visual obstruction by the pterygium itself.

Mild symptoms can be treated easily with the use of lubricating drops or artificial tears. For redness associated with inflammation, your doctor may prescribe a short course of topical steroids. If the symptoms remain persistent or cause blurred vision, surgical intervention is indicated.

Pterygium surgery involves excision or removal of the lesion, followed by coverage of the resulting defect with the individual’s own healthy conjunctiva (conjunctival autograft) or preserved amniotic membrane obtained from donated human placenta tissue. This may be accompanied with the use of an anti-scarring medication called mitomycin-C during the surgery. Surgery is usually performed as an outpatient procedure with topical and local anesthesia. Mild intravenous sedative medication may be given to keep the patient relaxed through the surgery. After the procedure, the eye may be patched temporarily to minimize any residual bleeding.

During the recovery period, patients may experience mild irritation, blurred vision, and redness around the eye. However, patients can return to normal activities, such as driving, work, and school, within the first few days. Full recovery can take several weeks to about a month.

Patients are also instructed to use antibiotic and steroid drops for the first 1-2 months to prevent infection, reduce inflammation, and reduce the risk of recurrence.

Complications, such as infection, are rare but patients should be aware of the risk of recurrence. The risk of a recurring pterygium can be as high as 50% without the use of a conjunctival autograft or amniotic membrane. With the use of either tissue after pterygium excision, the risk is reduced to about 5-10%. Recurrent pterygia are treated with similar surgical intervention.

ALPHARETTA, Ga. – It will be at least three years before they see a shovel, but property owners along Ga. 9 are already rattled by plans to widen the road and lay sidewalks through their front yards.

The Georgia Department of Transportation plans to convert the thoroughfare to four lanes from Upper Hembree Road to Windward Parkway in Alpharetta.

The design also calls for an 8-foot asphalt shoulder on each side for parking and 12-foot wide medians.

All told, the $36 million project will cut into some properties close to 40 feet from the existing curb. About half a dozen of the 199 properties have been marked “displacement,” meaning the encroachment will be so great so as to make the existing property obsolete from its current use.

The DOT is already contacting property owners for initial inquiries into obtaining rights of way. The project could also temporarily eat up more property because of construction easements.

“This is not good in my case,” said Richard Debban, who owns three commercial properties on North Main Street along the route. “I tell you, I’m dumbfounded.”

Top scores for 2016 graduates on ACT Northview leads all Fulton schools in performance

BY CANDY WAYLOCK candy@appenmediagroup.com NORTH FULTON, Ga. - High schools in North Fulton dominated the list of top-performing public schools on the 2016 ACT, led by Northview and Cambridge high schools with stellar results on the national test for college admission.

Northview students posted the state’s second highest ACT average among 2016 graduates, followed by Johns Creek (3rd), Chattahoochee (5th), Alpharetta (6th) and Cambridge (7th).

Looking beyond the top 10, Milton was ranked 13th, followed by Roswell at 14th. In all, 442 public high schools in Georgia reported results.

Only the Gwinnett School of Math and Science, which recorded 126 test takers, scored higher than Northview, which had 339 students take the 2016 ACT. On the 36-point scale, Northview

scored 27.2, compared to 28.7 at the Gwinnett school.

Cambridge, in only its fifth year of test results, had Fulton’s biggest increase – from an average of 23.8 last year, to 25.6 this year, a 1.8 point jump. Even more notable was the number of students taking the test grew by more than 130 students.

“The ACT continues to grow in popularity for Fulton students as well as for students across Georgia and the nation,” said Susan Hale, spokesperson for Fulton Schools. “We have seen a 17 percent increase in the number of test-takers in the past five years to almost 3,700 students this year.”

Although the number of Fulton students taking the ACT in 2016 dropped slightly from the previous year, nearly 60 percent of its 2016 graduates took the ACT. Similar to the SAT, the ACT is a test commonly used for college admission and placement. A perfect score is 36.

Last year the ACT passed the SAT in number of students taking the test nationwide. The ACT measures English, math, reading and science proficiency, with an optional writing section.

The ACT also sets “College Readiness Benchmarks” which define a high school student’s likelihood of successfully passing his or her first-year college courses, based on their ACT scores.

In 2016, 43 percent (1,598) of the 2016

Fulton graduates met the readiness benchmarks in all four areas of the test – English, math, reading and science.

This percentage was significantly higher than the state and national averages, where only 27 percent of Georgia students and 26 percent of students nationally demonstrated this same college readiness.

Fulton on track to top 96K students in ’16-’17 school year Enrollments peaks and ebbs across area in first 10 days

By CANDY WAYLOCK candy@appenmediagroup.com FULTON COUNTY, Ga. - Enrollment in the Fulton County School system is steadily rising toward the projected numbers for the 2016-17 school year, with overall numbers at the 10-day count in line with system expectations.

Fulton School planners forecast enrollment this year at 96,561 students. The two-week numbers came in at 95,737 – a shortfall of 824 – but well on track to meet expectations based on past history.

“Enrollment projections are based on the first month enrollment population, not the 10 day count,” said Yngrid Huff Jones, director of Planning for Fulton Schools. “The district will continue to grow well past the Labor Day break.”

She added the 10-day figures are used to balance teacher allocations to ensure staff is properly distributed in schools where expectations did not align with enrollment.

While the system projections lined up wi¬¬th students coming through the doors, wide variations were seen at the local school level, primarily in the elementary grades.

Some schools saw the equivalent of two to three classrooms of students who failed to materialize in the first two weeks. Those included Hembree Springs Elementary which planned for 695 students, and ended the first two weeks with 634 – a deficit of 61 kids.

Other elementary schools with dou-

NORTHSIDE CHAPEL

ble-digit differences between actual and projected enrollment included Medlock Bridge (-38), Mountain Park (-32), Shakerag (32), and the area’s newest elementary, Vickery Mill in Roswell which enrolled 42 fewer students than expected at the 10-day mark.

On the flip side, Creek View Elementary had nearly 70 more students than projected, along with Cogburn Woods at 55, and Roswell North with 30 kids over forecast. Those patterns were seen across the system, attesting to the difficulty in projecting enrollment in the lower grades.

“Preliminary review shows that some issues were due to redevelopment and closure of some multi-family complexes, while kindergarten enrollment did present a challenge in some schools,” noted Huff Jones.

The variations were less obvious in middle school, with the exceptions of Northwestern Middle which came in 48 students under projection, and Hopewell with 33 over forecast in the first two weeks. Overall, the actual enrollment was only 11 students off from projections at the area’s 11 middle schools.

Among the area’s nine high schools, an additional 126 students enrolled over projection. The biggest increases were at Alpharetta (56 over projection) and Chattahoochee (42), with Milton, Northview and Centennial reporting numbers below projections.

“Typically the first month count is the high-water mark for most schools, especially high schools,” said Huff Jones. “As adjustments were made for the 10-day enrollment, trend analysis were also used to incorporate future enrollees. If any unanticipated issues arise, [we will work] to ensure those matters are addressed.”

He is writing from the trail and we will publish his columns as they come in. He has traveled quite a few miles now; stay tuned for the rest of the story.

She was in tears just as Captain America had warned me.

“She is in trouble and needs to get off the trail,” he had said.

I knew her.

I had hiked with RAY APPEN her a few times prePublisher, AT Hiker ray@appenmediagroup.com viously. She was a veteran hiker — one who had hiked all over the world. She was in her 60s and — as many do — hiking the trail by herself. Her hair was snow white and she had a mom face and disposition.

Now she was standing on the trail, on top of a mountain talking to me.

I surprised her and spoke first. It was obvious she was in trouble. I don’t think she remembered that we had met before.

She was in tears, breaking down as I talked to her. I knew and understood how and what she felt. None of us had anticipated what it would be like in the Whites of New Hampshire followed by the bad dream of the punishing Maine trail.

She was not alone. Hikers around her struggled, with only moderate success, to maintain a positive mental attitude. Sore knees, exhaustion and the creeping tentacles of defeat clung to the trail like bad dreams — spider webs in the face or tight, bad-fitting wet shoes.

I remembered in an instant when I looked into her eyes what a friend had told me earlier: “No one leaves the Whites with what they entered. The Whites will take its pound of flesh both physically and mentally.”

Even though we were all within sprinting distance (235 miles) of our final goal of the lofty Mt. Katahdin, and we all had an investment of five to six months — some even more — of walking and sleeping on the ground and sometimes well over a week without a shower … Even now, hikers were dropping out of their AT hike.

It wasn’t that we weren’t up to the continuous physical challenge. A good night’s sleep, a shower and 800 milligrams of Ibuprofen usually took the edge off physical breakdown.

It was, however, the complete breakdown of the will and resolve that was difficult to overcome. After talking

Visit northfulton.com/ ray-appen/ to read all of Ray’s ‘Tales From the Trail’ to dozens of hikers, no one exited the Whites intact. For most, the struggle to regain the high ground of hiking forward was a much greater challenge and a position from which there was no point of return. They were simply, done.

— A fortnight earlier I recalled two encounters that had made the difference for me. I had been at my wits’ end. My tent had died just before a big rain and I was about to enter the Whites.

I had been talking to the south-bounders (So-Bos) and none had had good words for the trail ahead of me. It was going to be brutal, and I was dreading it as I had been for a few weeks.

I made my way down the trail that day so preoccupied with worry and anxiety I almost walked right into a wisp of a So-Bo hiker. He couldn’t have weighed more than 130 pounds soaking wet and couldn’t have been more than a year out of high school.

I couldn’t believe someone so young could be out here.

He stopped and stood completely still and stared straight into my eyes.

The moment seemed frozen, then he moved forward in awkward silence — until this young So-Bo spoke. What he said to me was something I know I will never forget as long as I live.

“You are going to be fine,” he said, staring straight into my eyes. “It will be OK. Don’t listen to what the So-Bos are telling you about the trail ahead — about the Whites. I just walked it and you can too. You will be OK.” Then, before I could thank him or even ask his trail name, he was gone.

I stood on the trail, on the same spot for what seemed like an eternity. I just shook my head.

How, I mean how, did he know?

“What just happened” I wondered. “What?”

Later that day, I walked through a parking lot that the trail crossed and complained to some thru-hikers who were there.

“Everything is just so not working yada, yada…”

They patiently listened to me, nodding. A few minutes later as I stood in the parking lot trying to figure out what to do and where to go, a car with two women pulled up. In broken En-

Maine. One picture says it all: Wet, slick, steep and dangerous slabs of granite. If Maine were human, it would be very beautiful or handsome but with bad breath and dirt under the fingernails. glish, (they were French), they asked me if I needed a ride.

I hopped in. “Where you going?” they asked.

“Anywhere,” I answered.

As we drove off I spotted the two thru-hikers who listened to me complain.

“The Trail always provides,” they mouth as I drive by.

I understood instantly and nodded my head. — Slowly as we talk, she moves further away from the edge and begins to regain her composure. The trail had overwhelmed her and had taken her to the brink. We talk more.

“The hostel is only a couple miles more. I will be there later today and the people there are very nice. You will be fine,” I tell her. “It’s going to be OK.” It’s going to be OK. The Trail always, always provides.

You just have to have faith.

She is going to be fine. What had overwhelmed her that day is now under control — her control. She is a strong woman. She just needed a friend to remind her that she is not alone — that we’re all in this together.

It’s what we all need. You have to

... I remembered in an instant when I looked into her eyes what a friend had told me earlier: “No one leaves the Whites with what they entered. The Whites will take its pound of flesh both physically and mentally. have faith, and when the time comes, you need to be the one who is there for the person who needs someone. Just like a catcher in the rye.

In roughly 12 days my hike will be over.

What it has taught me will last forever. I am sure of that.

MILTON, Ga. — Friday night lights officially returned to Cambridge High School Aug. 26 where the Bears kicked off their first game of the 2016 football season against Creekview High School.

In a rain-delayed game, after falling behind 21-7 at the half, a late Cambridge comeback came up just short as the Bears fell to Creekview 35-21.

Senior quarterback Reid Martin threw for 225 yards and two interceptions in his first game under center for the Bears. The Kings Ridge transfer completed nearly 75 percent of his passes, most of them to fellow seniors Cameron Moore, who finished with six catches for 88 yards, and running back Kaelin Byrd.

“Reid did some good things,” said head coach Craig Bennett. “Game speed changes a lot from practice to games, so he will make some big strides this week. He has a great head on his shoulders and understands the game.”

Byrd, an Army football commit, put on a show from the backfield rushing for 128 yards on 25 touches with three touchdowns.

Lighting in the area caused the game to be halted briefly after the second quarter with many in attendance fleeing for shelter. The elements altered on-field conditions for the rest of the game.

“It’s something that we can’t control,” Bennett said. “I think our kids came back out and played hard as well as their kids. It is definitely not ideal, but it is uncontrollable and both teams have to adapt to the same conditions.”

A 36 percent efficiency on third down haunted the Bears throughout the evening. Creekview took advantage, as junior quarterback Chandler Gantt threw two touchdowns to senior receiver Trevor Kolb. The last one was the dagger for Cambridge in the fourth quarter. Earlier, Byrd found the end zone late in the third to make it a one possession game at 28-21.

Gantt added two additional touchdowns on the ground, while sophomore running back Cade Radam found pay dirt off a nine-yard run in the second quarter to give Creekview its first lead of the game. The Grizzly Bears didn’t trail for the remainder of the game.

As for what Bennett took from the

game, the five-year head coach was pleased with the effort his team gave.

“We have to focus on learning from the loss,” he said. “If you don’t learn from your mistakes, then it will be a bad loss. If we learn from our mistakes and get better this week, then sometimes a loss is OK. You have to have failures along the way for to grow and get better.”

Meanwhile, Cambridge awaits its first meeting with cross-town rival Milton High School Friday, Sept. 2. The game will be at Milton with many in the North Fulton community anxiously waiting to see the inaugural game between the two schools.

Milton comes into the matchup fresh off a 43-29 loss to North Gwinnett High School. The Eagles are 1-1 this season, having won their opener against Alpharetta High School Aug. 19.

“I know how much hype is surrounding the game, but our approach will not change,” Bennett said. “We want to get better this week and approach it like it’s our next opponent, same as any other week for the rest of the season.”

The game is scheduled to kick-off at 7:30 p.m.

By JOE PARKER news@appenmediagroup.com NORTH FULTON, Ga. — Storms and lightning brought many games to an early end last Friday as lightning stuck around the North Fulton and Forsyth area long enough to call the games.

North Gwinnett 43, Milton 29 Milton wound up on the wrong end of a back-and-forth contest with North Gwinnett. Milton was down 21-3 before scoring 26 unanswered points to take an 8-point lead near the end of the third quarter. However, North Gwinnett would go on a scoring run of its own with a touchdown at the end of the third before extending its lead and taking the 43-29 win.

Down 28-24 in the fourth quarter, Lambert had a long, potentially game-winning drive come to an end when they failed to convert on fourth down inside Mountain View’s 20-yard line with one minute remaining in the game. The loss was Lambert’s fourth consecutive in season-opening games.

In a battle pitting two teams from the highest and lowest classification, it was South of Class 7A with the commanding victory last Friday over Pinecrest Academy. South compiled just under 400 yards of total offense, and quarterback Davis Shanley threw three touchdowns. Pinecrest will face Discovery, another Class 7A team, this week.

Paran had blown out the Paladins in their only two prior meetings, but as the two teams met to begin their region schedules, FCS notched its firstever win against the Eagles. Andrew Johnson scored on a 12-yard rush and Jack Harding and Ryan Reid connected for a 58-yard touchdown to put FCS up 14-0 in the second quarter. A strong defensive performance by FCS would hold Mt. Paran to a single touchdown late in the fourth quarter.

Alpharetta 28, Gainesville 7 Just four minutes into the game, Alpharetta and Gainesville had both found the end zone. But for the Red Elephants, it would be their last notches on the scoreboard. The Raiders defense forced multiple sacks and held Gainesville’s offense in check for the remainder of the game. Quarterback Matthew Downing and Carlos Carriere would connect twice on touchdown passes, and Nolan Edmonds would add a rushing and receiving touchdown.

STEVE STROUD, Roswell Inc. Executive Director

Roswell unveils new economic development partnership RCVB, Roswell Inc. work together in public-private partnership: Roswell 3P

By HATCHER HURD hatcher@appenmediagroup.com ROSWELL, Ga. – Celebrating the Roswell Convention and Visitors Bureau’s 25th anniversary Aug. 25, RCVB Board Chairman Ken Davis and Roswell Inc. Executive Director Steve Stroud announced a new partnership that will be driving the city’s economic development efforts.

The new entity will fly under the aegis of Roswell P3. The three Ps are Public Private Partnership.

It was not exactly a shotgun marriage. Stroud was the longtime RCVB chairman before taking over Roswell’s economic development reins as Roswell Inc.’s top exec. Davis, VP at Renasant Bank, has been a fixture on the RCVB board for years.

They announced the formation of the new entity, Roswell P3, which stands for Public Private Partnership to dovetail more closely their tourism and economic development efforts to produce greater synergies through more cooperative efforts.

The Roswell Inc. offices are in the RCVB building, so all Stroud has to do to meet with RCVB Executive Director Dotty Etris is walk down the hall. Etris, recently recognized by Gov. Nathan Deal with the Lifetime Achievement Award in Tourism, has over the last 25 years managed to parlay Roswell

Businesses Booming in Roswell • 4 out of 6 business awards at North Fulton Chamber Annual Business Awards given to Roswell businesses • Of Inc. Magazine’s Top 5,000 fastest growing companies, 126 are in Georgia. Of those, five companies are in Roswell and are among the top 500: • Company.com – 5th • Thrive Farmers – 19th • Arrow Core – 99th • OTR – 339th • Nolan Transportation – 461st tourism into a business, bringing in $1 million tourism dollars to the community annually.

“For most of its last 25 years, the CVB’s sole purpose was to address revitalization of the Historic District and promote tourism in the City of Roswell.

It has done that well,” Stroud said.

Under Eris’s watch, Roswell’s tourism program has enjoyed great success.

According to an independent study, for every $1 invested in advertising, marketing and promotions of tourism, the city reaps $365 in tourism-related economic activity.

Davis noted in 2011, the Roswell CVB Board of Directors expanded its partnership with the city. This included promoting economic development to include retaining businesses and recruiting new businesses to Roswell.

Meanwhile, Roswell Inc. was paying dividends as well. Under Stroud’s leadership, Roswell’s economic development program has enjoyed great success: • the number of Roswell businesses increased by 14 percent (609 new businesses) to 5,070 in 2015; • the number of new business li-

censes increased to 649 in 2015 creating 2,409 jobs.

Both organizations see benefits in marrying their efforts. At the 25th RCVB anniversary, Stroud made the announcement.

“To celebrate our history and to best position and align our programs for the years to come, I am pleased to announce the renaming of our executive committee and board,” Stroud said.

The purpose of this realignment is to better define the responsibilities of the Board of Directors responsibilities while at the same time move to position and coordinate both programs they govern.

“Moving into the future, we will be known as Roswell P3 -- Supporting Community Initiatives & Partnerships Since 1991” Stroud said.

Roswell P3 better represents the two distinct programs and helps bring clarity and unity of purpose as they continue as a public, private partnership with the City of Roswell, he said.

Improving your win rates Do you spend a lot of time pursuing opportunities and they just don’t happen? Qualifying an opportunity to determine if you should put in the time and effort to pursue it is a critical success DICK JONES factor for improving Founder & President your win rates. The Jones Simply Sales more precise you are in qualifying an opportunity on the “front end,” the more likely you’ll be to win it on the “back end.”

Ask yourself three questions when a new opportunity comes up.

The first question is whether or not there actually is an opportunity to sell your product or service? Start by determining if there is a compelling event. A compelling event is defined in two ways.

There is either a benefit associated with buying your product or service, or there is a consequence of not buying it.

Once you know that a compelling event exists, you then have to ask yourself if you have a competitive product or service. In other words, do you have a product or service with unique features or capabilities that differentiates you from your competition?

And finally, after successfully answering the first two questions, the third question is “Can we win?” Winning an opportunity requires that your product and service not only addresses all the formal decision criteria, but also that you have relationships with the key people who will make the decision.

Take a moment to ask and answer these three questions when qualifying an opportunity, and you’ll most likely improve your win rates as a result.

Appen Media hosts inaugural New Beginnings Expo A 55-and-up Lifestyle Expo

By KATHLEEN STURGEON kathleen@appenmediagroup.com ALPHARETTA, Ga. — When one thinks of a person entering a new beginning in their life, they may think of getting married, going to college or having a baby. But a somewhat overlooked period in our lives is when we enter the phase of time when we retire, become empty nesters or considering downsizing.

That’s why Appen Media Group felt the need to host an event unlike any other for the 55-and-up lifestyles in our community. The expo will be held from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Sept. 24 at the Metropolitan Club, 5895 Windward Parkway in Alpharetta.

Appen’s Manager of Marketing and Innovation Wendy Goddard said the company has been researching for this event for quite some time.

“We found that much of our community fit into one of two categories: moving toward a retirement lifestyle or taking care of aging parents, sometimes both at the same time,” Goddard said.

“We also found that many are choosing to move their parents here to be closer as they make lifestyle changes, like downsizing or moving into an active adult or assisted living community.”

While there are many options for every stage of the 55-and-up lifestyle available in the area, it can sometimes be overwhelming and time-consuming to do all the necessary research to gather those options.

Goddard said Appen’s desire is to provide a relaxed, unpressured way where people can gather a large amount of information, get questions answered and options narrowed down to ease this process.

“There are a lot of decisions to be made, whether planning for yourself or caring for an aging parent, and some-

Malvi joins Anthropologie stores Local business goes national, again

By KATHLEEN STURGEON kathleen@appenmediagroup.com FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. — Malvi Marshmallow’s products are s’more than meets the eye.

The confectionary located in north Forsyth County serves that treat year-round along with its homemade marshmallows, sorbets and butter cookies.

And now, the store’s unique culinary experience is expanding from its home base to enter Anthropologie stores nationwide, for a second time.

The business started about four years ago after owners Laura Curtis Retana and her husband Paris were working in New Jersey taste-testing recipes throughout the day at their jobs.

“We both have a sweet tooth and wanted to create something that’s light but still filling and flavorful,” she said.

So she began working with marshmallows, remembering her time growing up as a Girl Scout and going to the lake in the summer where she enjoyed s’mores.

To start the business, the couple decided to use Kickstarter, a website to raise money via crowd funding. Originally they asked for $7,500 to help fund a new industrial oven and mixer. A month later, 420 backers gave $13,110.

“The feedback was so positive and encouraging,” she said. “It was always hard for us to believe we could make a full-time business out of making marshmallows.”

After their initial success, Retana said they started with a few local boutique stores in Atlanta to gauge interest.

This led to a call from national retailer Anthropologie which wanted to put Malvi in all their stores

Malvi offers a variety of flavors including chocolate, expresso and raspberry hibiscus.

Paris and Laura Retana are excited for their products to reach more customers.

nationwide. They were told this was a onetime thing during the holidays and Anthropologie apparently doesn’t repeat food items.

“That totally blew us away,” Retana said. “We said ‘yes’ without knowing if or how it would be possible.

We knew we had to say ‘yes’ and figure out the rest.”

This turned out to be a challenge for the couple who had to take out a loan, buy a new piece of equipment to help with production, and Laura quit her fulltime job.

But their dedication and sacrifice paid off as their products are now being offered in Whole Foods stores and other national stores.

After their first round with Anthropologie proved successful, the store asked Malvi to come back in select stores and in the online catalogue this holiday season.

“It was really exciting when they invited us back in,” she said.

The business surely has come a long way from working out of a shared kitchen on a monthly rate to renting a space at 3040 Keith Bridge Road.

With all the new space, they are able to offer products to customers right in store, like s’mores, ice cream and coffee.

“It’s great to be in the community getting that direct feedback and support from the people we live and work with,” she said.

Retana said she’s excited for where the company is heading, including possibly offering some new items in the near future.

“It’s been really exciting to see it become this niche gourmet treat,” she said. “There’s nothing like it out there so far.”

GET OUTSIDE GEORGIA:

Discovering Georgia’s other gold rush Gold! The word alone is enough to fire the imagination with visions of lost mines, colorful prospectors and of course gleaming yellow nuggets in the bottom of a STEVE HUDSON prospector’s pan.

Get Outside Georgia, In a previous Chattahoochee Media Group column, we looked at the Dahlonega Gold Museum, located in the historic old Lumpkin County Courthouse building on the Dahlonega town square. That museum celebrates the Georgia gold rush and especially the gold of the Dahlonega area.

But did you know that there’s another gold museum in Georgia? Indeed there is – the Pine Mountain Gold Museum at Stockmar Park, not far off Interstate 20, near the west Georgia town of Villa Rica.

Although it’s not widely known, the Villa Rica area was the site of a gold rush all its own. In fact, gold may have been found there as early as the 1820s. Lucian Lamar Knight, once an editor for the “Atlanta Constitution” and also the first director of the Georgia Archives, offers a tantalizing hint in his book “A Standard History of Georgia and Georgians, Volume 1,” when he writes, “It was the discovery of gold in 1826 that gave to the oldest town in Western Georgia the musical Spanish name by which it is known today: Villa Rica, or ‘city of riches.’ ” Ahh, a history mystery. Where exactly was Georgia’s first gold rush?

Unfortunately Knight didn’t give any sources for his account of the 1826 discovery – and in history, sources are everything.

But there’s no doubt that there was indeed a gold rush in the Villa Rica area, although for various reasons it was a much lower-key gold rush than that seen in the Dahlonega area. In fact, at one time there were almost 20 working gold mines in the vicinity of Villa Rica. One of the most intriguing is the Pine Mountain Gold Mine, now the site of the Pine Mountain Gold Museum at Stockmar Park.

The Pine Mountain Gold Museum is a great destination for a family day trip. Its mission is to tell the story of what has been called “Georgia’s forgotten gold rush,” and it’s a fascinating story that you and your family will enjoy discovering when you visit.

The centerpiece of the site is a 4,800 square foot museum. In the mu-

Visitors at the Pine Mountain Gold Museum pan for gold. seum’s theater, a 20-minute documentary introduces you to the history of the Villa Rica gold mines. After seeing the presentation, you’ll want to spend some time exploring the museum’s many exhibits.

Among them are mock-ups of a gold mine tunnel as well as a replica of a gold assayer’s office, plus many other displays which help tell the story of this region’s gold. There are some unique non-mining exhibits too, including an intriguing display of old Coke bottles and a reconstruction of the Villa Rica Electric Light & Power Company’s Coca-Cola bottling operation from the early 1900s.

After enjoying the indoor exhibits, head outside to check out the 19thcentury stamp mill which was used to crush ore for gold extraction. Behind the mill is a reconstructed ore cart that has been built on an original undercarriage frame of a cart, which was actually used at the Pine Mountain Mine.

One great way to get to know the Pine Mountain Mine is to explore the site’s self-guided walking trails. More than three miles of trails carry you throughout the area, providing an upclose look at the ruins of the old mine.

You’ll see mining areas, prospect pits and long-abandoned gold processing equipment. You may also want to take a ride on the Pine Mountain Scenic Railroad, a 3/4-mile excursion which

carries you around the mountain and provides yet another perspective on this once-bustling mine.

Other things to enjoy as you explore the site include a grist mill and water wheel, as well as farm animal exhibits – and of course, the perfect way to wrap up your visit is at the site’s covered gold panning area, where you can learn to pan gold much as the old timers did in years gone by.

Gemstone panning is also available.

The Pine Mountain Gold Museum at Stockmar Park will give you a look at a part of Georgia gold mining history that many never see. It’s a great family destination. The site is located at 1881 Stockmar Road in Villa Rica.

Find out more at pinemountaingoldmuseum.com.

Steve Hudson’s recently published book Prospecting for Georgia Gold introduces you to the excitement of gold prospecting in Georgia. It’s a great activity for the entire family. The book is available from many local stores, from Amazon, or directly from chattahoocheemedia.com.

The Salter Forehand Team is pleased to introduce two new neighborhoods Windsong Townhomes and XII on Canton, coming soon to Downtown Alpharetta Windsong Townhomes are located at the corner of Marietta Street and Marjean Way.

The main level will feature hardwood floors throughout, gourmet kitchens with Wolf appliances and Sub-Zero refrigerators, a family room with a fireplace flanked by built-in bookcases, a large dining room, half bathroom, sunroom and lanai. The

large master suite is upstairs with two additional secondary bedrooms and two full bathrooms, plus a laundry room.

Five of these beautiful brick-and-stone townhomes are presently under construction and will be ready for occupancy in late November. Developed by Talon Neighborhoods, with construction

by Sheehan Built Homes, architectural designs by Main Street Designs and interiors by Cynthia Porche Interiors, these townhomes are in a desirable location, only moments from Wills Park or Downtown Alpharetta’s restaurants and community activities, and only one mile from Avalon.

“XII on Canton” will be comprised of 12 custom-built homes, in a gated community located in the ‘Garden District` of Downtown Alpharetta. This will be a one-of-a-kind boutique project of 12 single-family luxury homes with professional landscaping and an

appealing streetscape.

Once a lot is reserved, the buyer is expected to start working immediately with one of the builders, either with an approved available floor plan or the buyer’s own custom plan that must fit both physically and aesthetically on the lot and within the historic district guidelines.

If the buyer chooses to bring their own floor plan, the style of the home is subject to approval from the City of Alpharetta Architectural Standards Committee. During the reservation pe-

riod, the buyer will be working closely with the builder on the specific design, elevation and pricing. Lot deposits are fully refundable in the event an agreement is not consummated between the purchaser and builder within a specific timeframe. Prices starting from the low $1 million.

Home selling tips for the fall market

By KELLY ROSEN REALTOR® Solid Source Realty The spring/summer selling season is winding down but I have still found myself in several multiple offer situations over the past couple of weeks. In general, there are fewer buyers and fewer new listings coming onto the market right now. Why are some homes selling in days with multiple offers while others are sitting on the market for months?

Even though the market is softening right now, there are still buyers looking for homes. Sellers need to understand the competition and be able to compete in terms of features and upgrades. In Milton, we have a lot of new construction competing in many price ranges.

These homes are equipped with all the latest design features and energy efficient systems. Here are a few tips to help your home stand out: 1. Start Preparing Your Home Months Before Listing: It is going to take some money to get your house ready to sell, so preparing months in advance will help spread out the cost.

Talk to a REALTOR® who can help make suggestions on updates and upgrades that will be the most cost effec-

tive. Some of these items may include granite countertops, new appliances, new carpet, new paint, and new fixtures (brass is out!). Buyers are very picky; if your house looks new on the inside, it will sell quickly. Don’t stress--many of these updates can be done without breaking the bank! Your REALTOR® is a valuable resource for affordable contractors.

2. Price Appropriately: If you do not have the funds available (or the desire to make updates), it’s not the end of the world…you need to be realistic about your list price and be prepared for a longer sales cycle. Most buyers want move-in ready homes. Homes that need updating will take longer to sell, even at a reduced list price. A REALTOR® can help you determine the best list price; be careful of overpricing, which can be highly detrimental!

3. First Impressions Are Important: When you are ready to list, make sure you take your REALTOR®’s advice about decluttering, cleaning and staging your home for potential buyers.

Make sure professional photos are giving your home the best representation online (drone photos if your home sits on top of a hill) and plant some fresh flowers to give buyers a welcoming feel-

ing when they pull up the driveway.

If you are serious about selling your home, you must have a plan in place (preferably months before listing).

Spend time getting your home in the best condition you can (meet with a REALTOR® for suggestions) and price it

right; this will give your home the best chance of selling quickly and for top dollar.

Best wishes for a quick and easy sale! Kelly Rosen, REALTOR®, Solid Source Realty 770-568-9241 kellyrosen@bellsouth.net

Benefits of using a Realtor when selling your home

By BILL RAWLINGS Vice President/Managing Broker, North Atlanta, Atlanta Fine Homes Sotheby’s International Realty When considering whether to sell your home on your own versus with an agent, make sure to keep this information in mind when weighing your decision. Buying and selling a home is a big task that is very emotional and comes with great expenses. By using a REALTOR®, you are protected by your agent who has infinite real estate resources, years of first-hand experience, knowledge of the different markets and knows the appropriate marketing tactics to utilize to get your home sold.

In 2015, the National Association of REALTORS® found that 85% of total sales were made with REALTORS®, 7% with non-member licenses and 8% with for sale by owner.

The National Association of REALTORS® has shown that in order for a homeowner to sell their home and receive qualified buyers, they must pay a buyer’s agent up to 3%. That being said, the perceived 6% that an agent makes off a sale is now only a 3% savings from the start. The following are benefits of the extra 3% that will get paid to your REALTOR® during a sale.

An amount that truly cannot be matched when using a REALTOR® is the cost of marketing. Professionally

designed marketing materials, quality photos and signage can cost up to $3,500 and beyond. These items are typically covered by the agent through a team of marketing professionals provided by their company to RAWLINGS assist with all of their marketing needs. When partnered with a REALTOR®, your listing is entered into First Multiple Listing Service (FMLS) and Georgia Multiple Listing Service (GeorgiaMLS), this alone allows your listing to be seen by thousands of real estate professionals and filter to hundreds of brokers and real estate websites.

Safety is of the utmost importance when introducing prospective buyers into your home. When allowing strangers into your home, it is critical that a lockbox be installed, which typically costs around ninety-five dollars and would be handled by the agent otherwise. Your legal safety is also something to consider. There are immense liabilities involved in the legitimacy of real estate transactions. By using an agent, you have access to a broker, as well as real estate attorney 24/7, in the case that an issue is to arise. This wealth of knowledge comes from years of education, continued education classes and a lifetime of experience.

Finally, people who are looking for homes that are for sale by owner are looking for a bargain. When using a professional agent, your agent will negotiate for you, with your best interest in mind.

Agents largely rely on referrals for their business, so satisfied clients are their main goal. Your agent will work hard to get you the most money for your home.

So, please keep all of these factors in mind if you are thinking of selling your home yourself, the costs and risks associated with the transaction rest solely on you, the homeowner.

Meth: Continued from Page 2 and arrested without incident. Rivera, Penaloza and Leon have been charged with trafficking methamphetamine, possession of marijuana to distribute, conspiracy to commit a crime and possession of a firearm during the commission of a crime.

Inside, investigators hit the jackpot.

Authorities found 10 pounds of uncut

meth stuffed into three large shopping bags valued at between $250,000 and $500,000 depending how much the drug was diluted.

They also found $27,000 in cash.

That prompted officers to send for their narcotics K-9 officer Xena to see what she could sniff out “The officers decided to bring in a drug dog to see what else might be hidden in the apartment. She alerted on the couch, and officers found 4 pounds of marijuana packaged and ready for distribution,” Gordon said.

Invitation to Bid Right of Way and Traffic Signal Maintenance Services ITB NUMBER 16-PW11 Interested Contractors may submit proposals on one or more of the following services: Right of Way Maintenance Traffic Signals Sealed Proposal Due Date: October 11, 2016 2:00PM Local Time Milton City Hall To be publicly opened approximately 2:05PM in the Courthouse The City reserves the right to reject any and all bids.

The City of Milton is requesting submittals from interested parties for a public private partnership. The request for sealed bids for Right of Way and Traffic Signal Maintenance Services will be posted on the following websites the week of August 25, 2016.

There were still more surprises to come. There was a knock at the door answered by an undercover agent. It was Floyd Kroy, 47, who said he had come to buy a pound of crystal meth.

Kroy, who turned out to be a convicted felon, was informed he was under arrest. Police found 6 grams of meth on him and a loaded pistol in his car. He was charged with conspiracy to distribute drugs.

Sadly, there were additional knocks on the door. The five children belonging to Rivera and Penaloza showed up having returned from school. Fulton County Department of Family and Children’s Services took custody of them.

Rivera, Penaloza and Leon are all non-citizens and believed to have ties to Mexican drug gangs, Gordon said.

He also said there was no evidence that any of the meth was “cooked” (manufactured) on the premises. Instead it appeared to be a distribution clearing house.

“The fourth individual [Kroy] was buying at the site. There were 10 pounds of drugs taken into custody, that is a lot of narcotics removed from the community,” Gordon said.

He also said the operation was an example of close cooperation between local law enforcement and the DEA.
