Public hearing set for massage parlor and spas ordinance To be held Sept. 17 By KATHLEEN STURGEON kathleen@appenmediagroup.com FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. — In an effort to prevent illicit activity from happening in massage parlors and spas in the county, the Board of Commissioners will hold a public hearing Sept. 17 to discuss modifying the JARRARD county’s adult entertainment ordinance to include a provision for the licensing of and issuing permits for massage establishments and spas. The public hearing will be held at the county administra-

tion building, 110 E. Main Street, Suite 220, at 5 p.m. Ken Jarrard, county attorney, said this ordinance would put in place a system of regulations. “The concern is there may be establishments that are advertising they are massages and spas establishments but in fact are a front for other sort of illicit activity,” Jarrard said. “This is not a stand-alone resolution; it’s another tool to be part of the solution.” Just as concerns regarding massage and spa businesses have been raised by the Forsyth County Sheriff’s Office as well as multiple commissioners, the plan to combat the problem will be a joint effort, as well, Jarrard said. The BOC would provide the regulatory portion by approving the ordinance. The FCSO would be enforcing the regulations.

The concern is there may be establishments that are advertising they are massages and spas establishments but in fact are a front for other sort of illicit activity.” KEN JARRARD Forsyth County attorney

“It’s about time to do it,” Sheriff Duane K. Piper said. “There are several investigations going on and this will help greatly.” While there are establishments that are legitimately providing spas and massages, Jarrard said they more than

The man came to the Sheriff’s Office Aug. 26 to report aggravated battery. His left arm was in a sling, there was a healing wound on the left side of his forehead and his right arm had lacerations. He said, while he was at the residence, he was beaten up but had no recollection of the events from when he delivered the pizza to when he woke up in the hospital the next day. He did say after leaving the house, he rear-ended a semi-truck in Hall County and was taken to a hospital. The doctors there said his injuries did not match with the accident. The pizza was never paid for and the man told officers that if the person who

On June 30, the homeowners awoke to find a rainbow flag that had been hanging in front of their home had been removed, laid over the windshield of one of their vehicles and set on fire, according to Robin Regan, public information officer for the Forsyth County Sheriff’s Office. The rainbow flag is often seen as a symbol of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender pride and LGBT social movements.

Officers were able to trace the phone number used for the bomb threat back to Macon. Later that day, officers were dispatched to the same building due to a second bomb threat, this time coming from the Forsyth County 911 Center.

Northside Hospital and Gwinnett Medical Center announced Sept. 2 that they wish to combine operations.

Northside Hospital, Gwinnett Medical Center announce merger NORTH GEORGIA — Northside Hospital and Gwinnett Medical Center announced today that they have approved a non-binding letter of intent (LOI) to begin exclusive discussions to combine their operations. If a final agreement is reached, the merger would create a major health care system serving rapidly growing areas of the Atlanta Region and North Georgia. Anchored by Northside Hospital in Sandy Springs and Gwinnett Medical Center in Lawrenceville, the system also would include hospitals in Canton, Cumming and Duluth, as well as cancer treatment centers, imaging centers, medical office build-

ings, urgent care centers and other outpatient locations throughout the state. Altogether, the NorthsideGwinnett Medical combined system would have nearly 1,400 beds, more than 16,000 employees and close to 3,500 physicians on staff. Northside Hospital CEO Bob Quattrocchi and Gwinnett Medical Center CEO Philip Wolfe said they are targeting early 2016 as a potential closing date for the deal. Meanwhile, the two organizations will conduct due diligence and planning activities. If a final definitive agreement is reached, the proposed transaction will be submitted to the State of Georgia Office of the Attorney

General for review and approval, including at least one public hearing on a date to be determined. The leaders of the two systems said that the merger is the best way to prepare for the future needs of patients and their families. “A Northside Hospital and Gwinnett Medical Center combination is a strong and strategic fit on many levels,” Quattrocchi said. “We come to the table with very similar organizational cultures and unsurpassed commitments to patient safety and quality care. Northside and Gwinnett Medical Center already are geographic neighbors, and together we will serve one of the fastest-growing markets in the

country.” “Our service offerings complement each other,” Wolfe said. “Northside Hospital is a regional and national leader in women’s health and cancer care, while Gwinnett Medical Center is a leader in cardiac care, trauma care and sports medicine. Going forward, our strategy will be to leverage our respective strengths in our expanded footprint and provide the total spectrum of health care to patients not only in our market area, but throughout Georgia and the Southeast.” Quattrocchi and Wolfe said that the merger should create many opportunities for enhanced patient care, additional growth, professional development and fiscal strength.

meeting on Sept. 3. A 30-day moratorium on the acceptance of applications to rezone property to the Multifamily Residential (RES6) zoning classification was approved by the board at their Aug. 11 work session. Following a public hearing on Sept. 3, the board approved continuation of the moratorium which will extend until the county’s Comprehensive Plan has been updated or as otherwise declared by the board. Part of the resolution states, “the Board finds that a moratorium barring until 60 days after the approval of a new or updated Comprehensive Plan - the acceptance of applications for rezoning

of property to the Multifamily Residential (RES6) zoning district to be reasonably necessary, the least restrictive means available, and a legitimate and reasonable exercise of the county’s police power, and in the best interests of the public health, safety and welfare of Forsyth County citizens.” The moratorium does not prohibit acceptance of applications for rezoning to PUD (Planned Unit Development District) and MPD (Master Planned District) classifications even if such applications include a multi-family dwelling (apartment) component.

Public Facilities Authority approves career academy FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. — The Forsyth County Public Facilities Authority (PFA) approved Sept. 1 a resolution of support pertaining to the Alliance Academy for Innovation of Cumming-Forsyth County, Inc., a proposed non-traditional learning academy in the county.

One of the primary functions of the PFA is to issue revenue bonds for such projects to be paid for by a defined revenue stream. The Academy is described as a workforce development campus offering a unique curriculum for students. The facility would provide ninth through 12th grade, secondary and continuing education for individuals, organizations, small businesses and corporations. With plans to situate the

facility centrally in the county in the City of Cumming, it would also be a grant collaboration with the state of Georgia and programs will be in partnership with the University of North Georgia and Lanier Technical College. The resolution places a cap on the amount of funding at $20 million. The resolution further provides that the General Assembly will need to assist to make the project a reality, as the Authority’s enabling legislation will need a modest revision to make clear that revenue bond projects with the School System are allowed. The PFA is a political subdivision of the state of Georgia and a public corporation, and provides the governmental entities within Forsyth County the opportunity to obtain favorable financing and funding for public facilities, buildings and equipment for the citizens of Forsyth County, the Forsyth County School Board and the City of Cumming, in a manner exempt from taxation and at low interest rates. The PFA was established in order to allow projects such as facilities, public safety improvements and parks to be delivered to Forsyth County citizens in the most timely and cost-effective manner possible.

The Neal F. Simeon Career Academy in Chicago is an example of how the Alliance Academy for Innovation of Cumming-Forsyth County Inc. could potentially look. This is its inaugural project to be funded through the entity since its creation. One of the primary functions of the PFA is to issue revenue bonds for

such projects to be paid for by a defined revenue stream. The PFA was created in 2008 following approval by the Forsyth County Board of Com-

missioners and the Georgia General Assembly. For information on the Alliance, visit http://bit. ly/1NqXcWT.

Plan to improve Ga. 400 at McGinnis Ferry Road CUMMING, Ga. — The Georgia Department of Transportation and Forsyth County are developing a project to improve mobility on Ga. 400 at McGinnis Ferry Road. Forsyth County is hosting a public information open house on the proposal from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 10 at the Forsyth Conference Center at Lanier Technical College located at 3410 Ronald Reagan Boulevard in Cumming. Georgia DOT engineers and consultants will be available to discuss the

proposal. There will not be a formal presentation during the open house. The project includes construction of an interchange on Ga. 400 at McGinnis Ferry Road, widening Ga. 400 south from McGinnis Ferry to McFarland Parkway, widening McGinnis Ferry Road and operational improvements at intersections along McGinnis Ferry. The project is a GDOT partnership project included in the Forsyth County Transportation Bond approved by county voters in 2014. It is receiving local funding

4th ANNUAL

through the Bond as well as federal funding. “Forsyth County made a historic decision last year, taking control of their future mobility through a transportation bond,” said Rudy Bowen, Georgia DOT Board Member representing the 7th Congressional District. “The people of Forsyth are purposefully investing in their own infrastructure. This new interchange at 400 and McGinnis Ferry is a product of that investment. We are proud partners with Forsyth County and look forward to showing you the

plans to improve 400 and McGinnis Ferry Road.” After the open house, visitors can view the display of the project at the Forsyth County Engineering Department office located at 110 East Main Street, Suite 120 in Cumming. Plans will also be available at the Georgia DOT District Office located at 2505 Athens Highway in Gainesville and the Georgia DOT District Office located at 5025 New Peachtree Road in Chamblee. – Zenzele Price-Richardson

OPINION

Submit your opinions to news@appenmediagroup.com

What did you do before the Internet?

Not enough millennial housing options As a young professional, I know a lot of things won’t come easy to me. I have to earn respect and prove I’m capable of doing my job, all while trying to live in an area you probably wouldn’t call “cheap.” I’ve lived in Alpharetta most of my life and have benefitted from that tremendously. I went to some of the best schools in the state that prepared me for college and gave me real-world experience all before graduating. But now that I’m an “adult” I realize my parents and a lot of other folks around here have had to work incredibly hard to get where they are today. Since graduating from college, I have been contemplating where I will live next. I spoke with friends and family and learned it’s a pretty common thought that living in an apartment is essentially throwing away money that could be invested into a house. I’ve also heard from multiple sources that it’s next to impossible to resell a condo or townhouse, so that option is also out the door. Those tips are all good and well, except they basically only leave the option of buying a house. And, if you’ve ever purchased a home in this area, you know it’s expensive. It’s even more intimidating to a young person who just started working and doesn’t have too much saved up. I try to save as much as I can and I’m lucky to be able to do so. And, while it feels like I can never save enough, I really would like to invest my admittedly small nest egg into a living space to call my own. A lot of local leaders talk about how they want millennials to move into the area and

KATHLEEN STURGEON Forsyth Herald Reporter kathleen@appen mediagroup.com

how they’re trying to accommodate them. Well, step one would be offering more affordable housing for these young people to invest in. I’m not talking about dingy, somewhat sketchy apartments. I mean single-family homes these millennials can grow into and use as great investments. It’s hard to want to live in Alpharetta, or the surrounding areas, when there are few — if any —housing options I can afford. I’ve downloaded multiple apps and looked online for hours for a small bungalow to call my own, but so far I’ve been unsuccessful. However, when I expand my search to other Atlanta suburbs, I can easily find multiple options all in my price range and in good neighborhoods. The problem is I can’t justify moving farther away from my job. There is a reason a lot of people my age, including a good majority of my friends, are moving to cities like Dunwoody, Decatur or Vinings. Personally, I would prefer to be OTP because I’m not a fan of living in the city. But regardless, these people are onto something. If officials are really and truly yearning for millennials to move into their towns, there needs to be better and more affordable housing options. Until that happens, I can’t say that I’ll spend my hard-earned tax dollars in their cities.

Let me take a moment to speak to our younger readers – ask your parents, or older siblings, or even grandparents what life was like before the Internet. You will be amazed. The topic came up recently after a convicted stalker, who used social media and the Internet to stalk her subjects, was banned for 10 years from using the Internet. Ten years is a long time, certainly, but you should have seen the eyes widen on our younger staffers’ faces when they contemplated 10 years without Internet. It was unthinkable. Unimaginable. Surely, this is a punishment worse than death! How did you get your news? What did you do to occupy your time? How did you keep in contact with others? How would you keep up with all the cat pictures that are to be seen? And the more we thought about it, the more it was apparent just how integrated the Internet is in our daily lives, in ways we don’t even

think about anymore. Every time you send an email, check your mail, check Facebook or send a tweet, the Internet is there. Every time you look up directions or use GPS, there’s the Internet. Even my car has Internet now! That’s how far we have come. This is certainly not a rub against the interconnectedness of things in our lives. I’m a big fan (and often user) of these things. Rather, perhaps it’s a good idea to take a step back every now and then and put down the phone or step away from the computer. Resist that urge to push the glowing power button. Pick up a book. No, not an e-book. A

How to spot people you don’t want to talk to While at a restaurant last week, I noticed an attractive 20-something woman walk through the door. Her attractiveness is what caught my eye, but what kept my attention fixated upon her was the fact that she was so deeply enthralled with her cell phone that I momentarily mistook the phone for some kind of nasal surgery device. The young woman could not even avert her eyes for the second it would have taken to make a human connection with the hostess who was attempting to show her to her seat. That is when the rest of my group noticed her. Well, they noticed her because I kept saying, “Walk into something. Walk into something. Please, walk into something!” One of life’s simple pleasures, at least in my book, is seeing someone who is so enamored with the useless world of cell-phone use that they walk into something like a wall or trip over a curb. Like a predictable comedy movie, you see the danger that lies ahead for the character, in this case the cell-phone-to-nose user, well before they have any clue as to the comedic event that will befall them. I absolutely love it, but my group did not view the situation as I did. They commented that the

... I can tell you with experience that anyone who unceasingly has his cell phone in his face is not someone you want to talk to. woman’s cell-phone captivation was not a chance for comedy, but rather exemplified a sad commentary on modern times. She made her way from the front door all the way to the bar, a distance of about 40 feet (though I am a man so it was probably only about 25), without looking up from her cell phone and without banging into a single wall or table. Much to my dismay. However, the situation sparked a great debate. On one side, there were those in my group who believed it

is extremely sad that people would rather spend their time on social media than to actual socialize, to take pictures of meaningless things when they could just enjoy the moment, or to never communicate unless it over a technological device. On the other side, there was me. I am of the millennial generation. We were the first to have such technological devices readily available, the first to use social media on a mass scale and the first to always have our cell phones constantly within three inches of our boogers. Therefore, I can tell you with experience that anyone who unceasingly has his cell phone in his face is not someone you want to talk to. In the past, you had to actually listen to a person to realize you did not want to communicate with them. Now, they are giving you an obvious sign – which is their cell phones constantly in their faces. These people generally have the personalities of a grapefruit and the intelligence of toasters. Take it from me, it may appear sad that their attention never strays from their cell phone. But, in the end, we are all better off for it. Take the sign they give you and avoid them, or throw something in their way that they will trip over.

Forsyth County Schools best ACT score in state Best SAT among metro Atlanta By KATHLEEN STURGEON kathleen@appenmediagroup.com FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. — Forsyth County Schools has once again proved its academic excellence. The the average 2015 FCS graduate’s composite ACT score was 24.1, the highest in the state and above the national composite. The state’s composite score was 21, the same as the national composite score. The district’s 2014 composite score was 23.6. Jennifer Caracciolo, director of public information and communications for FCS, said, to her knowledge, this is the first time Forsyth County has had the highest ACT score in Georgia though they do not have data from other counties beyond recent years. “In reviewing our long-term data on state and national results, we do consistently have scores above these averages,” Caracciolo said. The composite was combined from the five public high schools and the iAchieve Virtual Academy. All of the schools individually scored higher than both the national

and state composite. South Forsyth had 405 students tested, with 24.9 composite ranking them 16th in the state. Lambert had 504 tested and a 24.8 composite, ranking them 17th in the state. West Forsyth had 375 tested and a 23.6 composite and was ranked 31st in the state. iAchieve Virtual Academy had 5 test takers with a composite of 23.2 and was 38th in the state. Forsyth Central had 177 students tested, with a composite of 23 and was ranked 44th-best in the state out of 439 high schools. North Forsyth had 250, with a 22.7 composite and was ranked 46th in the state. “We strive to make learning personal for all students and are excited to see them doing well on this assessment,” said Superintendent Dr. Jeff Bearden. “Increasing the number of our ACT test takers, as well as having higher results, is a great celebration for our staff and the 2015 graduates.”

Southern Winds concert band delights crowd By KATHLEEN STURGEON kathleen@appenmediagroup.com ROSWELL, Ga. — There was standing room only Aug. 28 at St. George’s Village. The senior retirement center, located at 11350 Woodstock Road, was hosting Southern Winds, a concert band comprised of members 50 and older. Some of the fellows are retired band directors or members, and others are just local musicians coming out of musical retirement. David Strickland, band president, said Southern Winds has been around for five years. The band often plays once a month at locations similar to St. George’s. Most of the concerts are at seniorliving homes, Strickland said, because the residents often can’t leave for music shows. “They don’t always have the option of transportation and even when they use buses, sometimes people aren’t able to be bussed,” Strickland said. “We come to people who don’t get opportunities to get out and listen to a full band. Most of the entertainment in senior homes is a piano or guitar player. They’ll never hear a full orchestra.” For many residents, the tunes played by Southern

Director Jim Moody tells the crowd about the upcoming songs. Winds stir up long-ago memories from the springtime of their lives. Songs like “Home on the Range” and “Sousa!” harken back to earlier years when many were footloose and fancy-free. “The music we play is when a lot of the seniors at these facilities were dating,” Strickland said. “They’re sitting here remembering Frank Sinatra and ‘Islands of the Pacific’ and they were thinking about when their husbands went out to war. This music reminds them

By us coming and performing, it gives them an opportunity to listen to a full

concert band and remember what it’s like to have a full concert band play for them.” Since the average age of the band’s members is 76, their senior-center audiences may not be the only ones transported back in time by the tunes. A lot of the band members would be doing nothing more than sitting around, whittling away, Strickland said, but they

got their instruments out and started playing and traveling again. “Some of them haven’t picked up their instrument in years and then they pick it up and start playing with it,” Strickland said. “It gives them a lot of purpose in life. It’s a known fact people who play music activate their brain and gives them spirit. We feel like it lifts the spirits of these folks who feel like they’ve been forgotten about and used to play in the band but thought they couldn’t play anymore, but now they can.” Many of those members have made names for themselves in the music world. The band’s director, Jim Moody, is a veteran musician and is well known in the Roswell area, having served as the band and orchestra director at Roswell High School for 25 years. John Barbe, who is the band’s composer, will be honored, along with his late wife Jane, at the 37th annual Georgia Music Hall of Fame Awards Sept. 26. But even with such talented participants, Southern Winds prides itself on being paid by honorarium. Strickland said the general public tends to mistakenly believe it’ll cost thousands of dollars to have a full orchestra play. But the band accepts whatever the business, like St. George Village, can afford. Other contributions come from nonprofits and donors. In the end, Strickland said the band gives its performers purpose while giving back to those who wouldn’t otherwise be able to hear a live orchestra. “It’s very rewarding,” he said.

UNG opens two new exhibits, expands outdoor sculpture exhibit DAHLONEGA, Ga. — This fall, the University of North Georgia’s (UNG) Department of Visual Arts marks the 10th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina with an exhibit from an artist who spent eight days stranded in New Orleans during the storm and its aftermath. Brian Hitselberger’s “Forgetting the Self,” images from a body of work exploring themes of anonymity, intimacy and the relation of these ideas to the spiritual, opened Aug. 20 at the Bob Owen Gallery on UNG’s Dahlonega Campus. “He was one of the many people who remained in New Orleans while Hurricane Katrina hit land 10 years ago,” said Beth Sale, director of galleries at UNG. “He recently shared with me his personal experiences from the eight days he was stranded in New Orleans, describing imagery that I now see clearly in his art. Though his work in ‘Forgetting the Self’ does not specifically reference Katrina, the exhibit provides a meditative space to consider universal concerns on all levels. I’m pleased to have this space to contemplate the 10th anniversary of the Hurricane Katrina tragedy.” Hitselberger lives and works in Athens, Ga., and is an assistant professor of art at Piedmont College. He earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Tulane University in 2005 and a Master of Fine Arts from the University of Georgia in 2010. “Forgetting the Self” runs through Sept. 17 with a closing reception at 5 p.m. on Sept. 3. The Bob Owens Art

Gallery is on the top floor of the Hoag Student Center and is open 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., Monday through Friday; 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Saturdays; and 3 to 7 p.m. on Sundays. On the Gainesville Campus, work from New York City artist Bridget Mullen will be on display in the Roy C. Moore Art Gallery. The exhibit “Neighborhood Watch” opened Aug. 27 with a presentation and discussion by the artist. “She follows her intuition while creating paintings that cross traditional media boundaries, using an array of materials to create dream-like imagery,” Sale said. “Bridget will be traveling from Roswell, New Mexico, where she is currently participating in a year-long residency program, to speak at UNG.” Mullen earned a bachelor’s degree in art education from Drake University in 1999 and a Master of Fine Arts from the Massachusetts College of Art in 2006. “Neighborhood Watch” continues through Sept. 24 in the Roy C. Moore Art Gallery, located in the Continuing Education/ Performing Arts Building. The gallery is open from noon to 4 p.m., Tuesday through Thursday, and from noon to 3 p.m. on Fridays. Also, UNG has expanded its free, outdoor sculpture exhibition to include installations on four campuses — Cumming, Dahlonega, Gainesville and Oconee — through summer 2016. “Viewers will form their own interpretations and opinions of the work, and that is one of the values of public

This piece is from the series “Neighborhood Watch” by Bridget Mullen. It is on display at the UNG Gainesville Campus until Sept. 24. art,” said Dr. Jon Mehlferber, associate professor of art at UNG. “The sculpture adds vitality to the campuses, and it can be enjoyed somewhat passively, simply as a diversion from the usual surroundings, or viewers can interact with it more actively, by discussing it and arguing about its many possible meanings. I see the outdoor sculpture exhibition as another way for the university to reach out to the community, students, faculty and staff, and provide an opportunity for engagement, enter-

tainment and critical thinking.” All sculptors represented in the outdoor exhibit were born in or are living in one of the 13 Appalachian states. The artists submitted images of up to three sculptures for consideration, and the juried competition resulted in the selection of the works included in this exhibition.

The North Forsyth High School Marine Corps Junior Reserve Officers Training Corps’ staff demonstrated their usual drills.

North Forsyth HS JROTIC wins top honors FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. — While many high school students were enjoying their summer break from school, members of the North Forsyth High School (NFHS) Marine Corps Junior Reserve Officers Training Corps (MCJROTC) were busy training at an Army-Marine Corps Leadership Camp at the Marine Corps Recruit Training Depot at Parris Island, S.C. and at the National Flight Academy in Pensacola, Fla. Perhaps this level of involvement and commitment is the reason they have again been chosen to receive the Marine Corps Reserve Association Outstanding Unit Award.

This award is the highest honor that a Marine JROTC unit can receive, and the NFHS MCJROTC unit has won it for four out of the past five years. Adding to the list of accolades, a NFHS student, Cadet Major Haley Hubbard, was selected to receive the Legion of Valor Bronze Medal for superior achievement. This is the highest individual award a Marine JROTC cadet can receive. A NFHS cadet has won this award for the past four consecutive years. According to Major Mac Kelly, senior Marine instructor at NFHS, receiving these awards means the program is ranked as the best Marine

JROTC unit in the southeast and that Hubbard is the best Marine Cadet in the same region, comprising 57 MCJROTC programs. The MCJROTC program is in its 20th year at NFHS. Over the years, the program has established itself as a model for other schools. The rifle team routinely earns the right to compete in both regional and national marksmanship matches. The drill team is nationally ranked. The color Gguard averages over 50 flag presentations annually, and the Raider Challenge Team, a physical fitness team, is the only Marine JROTC team in the state.

The NFHS MCJROTC program currently has nine graduates in college on scholarships or US Service Academy appointments. They have consistently had at least one graduate at the US Naval Academy since class of 2000. The program can also boast of graduating over 15 cadets who have gone into law enforcement, five emergency medical technicians, four high school educators and over 200 cadets who have entered the military. Kelly, Master Gunnery Sergeant Randy Merritt and Gunnery Sergeant Jack Snook are all retired Marines and

are the instructors for this program. It is the only JROTC unit in the county. All three instructors are enthusiastic about the leadership opportunities afforded the cadets and are optimistic that the program can be beneficial to even more students. “The program is about helping students develop their maturity and self-discipline and being prepared to leave high school with an increased level of confidence and selfworth,” Snook said. “A new JROTC building is now under construction that will enable us to have a positive impact upon even more students in the future.”

Breast Lift vs Breast Augmentation: How to tell which is needed? By Luna Plastic Surgery and Medical Spa Breast lift is ideal for a patient that is happy with the size of her breast, but has become saggy or ptotic from breast feeding, pregnancies, or just over time. Breast augmentation is for patients that will like to have more volume. Sometimes if the breast is only mildly ptotic or saggy, and the patient does not mind having

more volume, a breast implant can help lift the breast some with minimal scars. How to choose the right breast implant size? We do have sizers and bras without any padding. The patients can try on sizers to see what size implant fits them best. It is also a good idea to bring some pictures of what the patient thinks is an ideal breast so the surgeon can have a better idea of the patient’s

expectations. Do breast implants lift slightly sagging breasts? Yes, if the sagginess is only mild. Implants can lift the breast by filling up the loose skin with volume. Can I have breast implants under local anesthesia? It is difficult to completely anesthetize the tissues needed to create the pocket, especially under the muscle. It is risky to do multiple injections on the

chest because of the proximity to the lungs and heart in order to deliver enough local anesthetic to provide maximum anesthesia. Can I have breast implants if I’m planning to have kids in the future? Yes, absolutely no problems with pregnancy. Can I breast feed if I have breast implants? Yes breast implants do not interfere with your ability to breast feed. What is the best shape of implants to achieve more natural looking results? Depends on the amount of breast tissue that the patient has, when the breast is very small, more natural look can be obtained with anatomical shaped, or tear drop, implants. Do silicone implants harden over time? No, although any implant can become hard over time if the scar tissue becomes thicker, silicone implants normally remain soft over time. Do breast implants need to be replaced overtime? Depending on the manufacturer, most implants made

in the United States have a lifetime warranty, meaning that if the patient is happy with her results, she can keep the implants for life. How long is the downtime for breast augmentation surgery? The patient usually recovers within a week although they should not be doing any heavy lifting of more than 15lbs for 6 weeks. Silicone vs. Saline: Which breast implant is safer? Both implants are very safe. The new generation of silicone implants are cohesive, which means that even if they rupture the silicone remains intact and stays inside the pocket. What are the risks of breast implants? The risks of surgery are like any other surgery, but in relation to the implants, the most common complication is capsular contracture, which means that the scar tissue around the implant becomes thicker and the breast feels hard, and sometimes even painful.

Your smile may make or break you By: Dr. Ushma Patel with Center For Advanced Dentistry

Psychologists used to say that the first feature people looked at were the eyes. Now they say it’s the mouth. According to a new nationwide survey, 92% of people perceive a great smile as a valuable asset. Men and women between the ages of 18-49 both chose a sexy smile as the most appealing gesture in a member of the opposite sex. Men and women are in agreement on what makes an appealing smile - having white teeth makes or breaks a smile, followed by straight teeth and full lips. In a recent survey conducted by the American Academy of Cosmetic Den-

tistry (AACD), 74% of men and women agree that an unattractive smile can hurt a person’s chances for career success. DR. USHMA Going to PATEL the dentist used to be about cavities and drills.

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

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

often note difficulty applying and maintaining eye make-up, such as mascara, eyeliner or eye shadow. This condition can be significantly improved with an easy outpatient surgical procedure. Your evaluation with Dr. Sajja would determine if the procedure is covered by your medical insurance. In addition, Dr. Sajja has considerable experience in cosmetic concerns of the eyelids and face employing advanced surgical techniques and facial injectables, such as Botox®, Dysport®, Xeomin®, Juvederm® XC, Radiesse®,

Be a satisfied patient Avoid threats to urinary tract health and a savvy consumer By Sherry Torkos, B.Sc.Phm., R.Ph.

Dr. Deborah Woodward I am saddened as a Doctor of Audiology that so many people with hearing loss don’t know they have options that will significantly improve their lives, or for various reasons, choose not to take advantage of them. Secondly, many of those who do seek help end up on a path leading to poor results and wasted money. When seeking help, your choices literally run from seeing a doctor that specializes in patient hearing care to a salesperson with no formal training. Like fingerprints, no two ears are the same, even on the same person, and a Doctor of Audiology can diagnose and determine what is “missing” in an individual’s range of hearing. Nine out of 10 first-time users do not consult with an actual Audiologist and/or choose based solely on the price. Most often they either: purchase aids in retail storefronts, in warehouse clubs next to the tires and office supplies, or buy sound amplifiers marketed as “hearing aids” online and from TV infomercials or magazine ads. It is NOT all about the hearing aid! Before I can even recommend a brand, let alone a model, I ask questions and get to know you and the type of life you live. Then, after using state-of-the-art diagnostic equipment to get a complete “picture” of your hearing profile, we will together choose your best option. Professional Audiologists and personalized technology make all the difference in getting and keeping you hearing at your very best. However, do not assume that this level of service equates to higher prices on your hearing technology. My patients are pleasantly surprised that device pricing is competitive – even to that of the warehouse clubs. Getting started is easy, painless, and in most cases, covered by insurance! Important - When taking this first step, choose an office that has an “in-network” provider. In this case, all testing is covered by a co-pay at most AND, more and more insurance plans now cover all or part of the cost of hearing devices. Both young and old are sometimes reluctant to consider hearing aids, thinking they might make them look older, weaker or less than normal. But 90% of devices used today

are almost invisible and won’t be noticed unless the wearer points them out! Help is available. Begin Day 1 of the rest of your life hearing more of it. Dr. Woodward and her staff at the Johns Creek Audiology and Hearing Center is well renowned for their award winning service. They also provide diagnostic testing for hearing disorders, tinnitus (ringing in the ears), vertigo, and ear wax management. All major insurance plans are accepted and no interest finance plans are offered. They can be reached at 770-814-1260 and via their website YourHearingLink.com

(NAPSI)—Scientists have found an important fact about a sensitive topic. The discomfort of a urinary tract infection (UTI) is all too common—for a surprising reason. According to a study in the Journal Emerging Infectious Diseases, it can come from consuming chicken or eggs polluted with antibiotic-resistant E. coli bacteria. What To Watch For The condition affects nearly half of all women at some time in their lives and 12 percent of men. Symptoms can hit suddenly. They include urinary frequency, burning and pain. There can also be cloudiness or blood in the urine. Getting prompt medical attention is critical. If left untreated, the infection can become serious and cause kidney damage. What To Do Fortunately, there are five steps you can take to prevent the problem: • Go organic. Until more rigorous laws are enforced on antibiotic use with livestock, choose organic meats and eggs and make sure your meat is thoroughly cooked

(chicken should always be cooked to 165 degrees Fahrenheit). Designate a cutting board solely for raw meat and poultry and wash it immediately after use with hot, soapy water. When preparing chicken, be sure to clean your hands thoroughly afterward • Drink plenty of water. The Institute of Medicine recommends about 72 ounces a day. Dehydration increases the risk of bacterial growth. • Avoid tight clothing. • Be cautious with OTC drugs. Antihistamines and certain cold medications can cause urinary retention, which increases the risk of a UTI. Ask your doctor or pharmacist about alternatives. • Supplement with cranberry. Cranberries can keep bacteria from adhering to the bladder wall. The active components responsible for this effect are the condensed tannins or proanthocyanidins (a type of flavonoid). A concentrated cranberry ingredient called Cran-Max has been shown in clinical studies to be comparable to traditional antibiotics but without the side effects.

something we want to do, not just have to do. “Over the last 5 years dental technology has advanced to where it’s now possible to get dental care with no pain and in a comfortable way,” says Dr. Ushma Patel. “In our practice we provide blankets, hot towels after treatment, headphones for music and Satellite TV channels to relax our patients. Many of our patients even bring their own DVD and choose to watch movie while they are getting treatment done. We want them to not only feel good while they are being treated but also to simply feel good when they leave.” We also use oral sedation (pills) for many of our phobic patients. We call it Twilight Dentistry where patients have their treatment performed while being sedated. For patients who want a Dazzling White Straight Smile instantly, we offer Porcelain Veneers. These veneers are very thin hard porcelain shells that are bonded on top of your existing teeth. Veneers can be used to reshape teeth and often are referred to as “instant orthodontics” because we can instantly

Diagnosed: Continued from Page 22 T4 – This test checks the amount of free T4 available for actual use by your body. 4. T3 Tests – There are Total T3, Free T3, and Reverse T3 tests. Like T4, T3 circulates in the blood mainly bound to proteins, but 1% is not bound. It is that 1% that is believed to be most potent in its effects at the cellular level, even in comparison to T4. In fact, your body converts T4 into T3 in your liver. How well it does this in all individuals is a matter of how well your digestive system is working. No matter what, T3 is another important blood test to consider. The Free T3 and Reverse T3 tests can also provide valuable information. Free T3 appears to correlate best with your functioning. Reverse T3 is a controversial test that is not often done by medical doctors, because it is assumed that your body can convert T4 into T3 without problems. However, holistic practitioners, and some medical doctors, are now recognizing it as an important test. Reverse T3 is a product created when your body converts T4. It should convert it into T3, but instead it converts it into Reverse T3. This Reverse T3 is useless to your body’s cells, and cannot provide the energy they need, hence the growing diagnosis of Reverse T3 dominance in my practice. 5. Thyroid Antibodies – It is quite common for someone with hypothyroidism to have thyroid antibodies, created when the body attacks its own tissues. This is the only way to properly

A generation ago, only people in the public eye had “movie star” smiles, but all that has changed. Today, Teeth Whitening has become the most common cosmetic procedure performed. There are typically 2 methods of teeth whitening. One procedure in done in the dental office using a high concentration bleach which is applied to the teeth and in 1 hour you leave the office with a bright white smile. The other procedure is a home whitening system. This procedure requires you to have molds made and then a whitening gel will be given to you and you wear the custom fitted bleaching trays for 1 hour a day for up to two weeks. The results can be dazzling. A bright, gleaming smile can go a long way to improve your appearance and make you feel years younger.

The reason most doctors do not request this test is because even if it comes back positive, there treatment will be the same as for a standard hypothyroid case. This is why so many people complain of the there symptoms even though they’re on the medication. Thyroxin will not address the inflammation causing the autoimmune attack on your thyroid. It only makes your TSH values look normal…. In summery, I hope this article answers some of your questions regarding the confusion about how hypothyroidism is commonly misdiagnosed. My goal is to bring to light some of the amazing lab tests out there for patients to request from their doctors and get real answers. There are some natural ways to support your thyroid, and ensure it functions optimally. By gaining an understanding of these different lab tests and there proper values, I believe the majority of people with a thyroid disorder will be able to get a true diagnosis and see significant improvements in their symptoms. That being said, there are those who will need additional tweaks, deeper testing, and personalized changes to their diet, supplements, and lifestyle plan before they see the improvements they’re looking for. So you may want to find a doctor that practices functional medicine. A functional medical doctor can assist you with natural ways of treating the root cause of illness, rather than just treating the symptoms with medication. And this is what we do, so if you or someone you know may have a thyroid disorder and want to correct this condition, please call (770) 731-9410 or visit www.DrSavedoff.com and schedule an appointment with us today.

Harnessing the healthy power of coffee (NAPSI)—A few cups of coffee a day may do much more than fuel that early-morning energy oomph. The latest wave of scientific evidence suggests drinking coffee offers numerous health benefits that contribute powerfully to a balanced diet, an active lifestyle and overall well-being. Until recently, the health impact of the world’s most popular beverage has been hotly debated. However, better and more well-designed research is now telling a much clearer story, one that has coffee enthusiasts celebrating. Helping shape this sharper picture have been eye-opening reports by the U.S. Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee released just this past year. Scientists conducted a comprehensive analysis of all the latest evidence surrounding coffee as it relates to health. Included was a review of more than three dozen studies involving 1.2 million–plus participants. Following the assessment, the nation’s top nutrition panel made history by giving the thumbs-up for people to enjoy coffee in a “moderate range,” defined as three to five cups per day for adults. It turns out that when scientists honed in on coffee—just coffee, without trans fat-ridden creamers, syrups and sugars—the results were clear. A cup of joe can have a very healthful effect, such as enhancing exercise performance. But there are also strong indicators tying coffee to other benefits, such as an association with better car-

diovascular, metabolic and brain health long term. This is great news for java lovers everywhere, and there are lots of them. Americans alone consume 400 million cups of coffee per day, making the U.S. the leading consumer of coffee in the world, according to the National Coffee Association. Globally, the total is estimated between 1.5 and 2 billion cups daily. “Today’s science now shows us that

coffee can be quite healthful, and that’s fantastic since there are so many of us who enjoy it,” said registered dietitian and nutritional counselor Jaimie Lopez, RDN. “But this means drinking sensibly. Black coffee is best. When you start throwing in things like sweeteners, a healthful pick-me-up can quickly turn into a high-calorie concoction.” So not only does coffee deliver natural caffeine to the body for an energy boost, but many negative mispercep-

tions about the beverage’s impacts to overall wellness and fitness are also being debunked. In fact, the data findings by the Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee point to just the opposite— that the brew can actually help support and protect mental and physical well-being. The healthy power of coffee is a welcome delight for millions. It not only tastes good, it can also be good for you. So much so that it is emerging as an integral part of healthful living. “The right type of coffee consumed responsibly can definitely be a tasty and healthy part of daily life,” said Suk Cho, Ph.D. and Chief Science Officer with Isagenix, a leading global health and wellness company. A provider of nutritional systems and solutions for energy, performance and weight loss, the company recently expanded its product offerings to include a line of premium and organic, slow-roasted coffee. “This isn’t a green light to drink as much coffee as you want. Coffee consumed in excess or in the evening is linked to poor sleep, insomnia and other risks. But in moderation, it can absolutely provide a safe and satisfying boost for your brain and body,” said Suk. So now millions can enjoy their daily dose of coffee while simultaneously drinking to, and for, their health. For more information about the healthy power of natural caffeine and coffee, visit www.isagenix.com.

ADHD – not just in children anymore morbidities such as anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder and other personality disorders. Adult ADHD is a valid psychiatric disorder of adulthood distinct from these other conditions. Adult attention deficit disorder differs from the childhood variant because the hyperactivity in adults may be replaced by other symptoms such as anxiety, impulsivity and inattentiveness. In fact, prior to 2002 there were no diagnostic guidelines, but there have been great advances since. Some of the symptoms that characterize Adult ADHD are:

ADHD is a relatively common psychiatric disorder among adults. The prevalence is thought to be 3.5%5.3%, which accounts for more than 11 million cases in the United States alone. With increased public awareness, adult ADHD became a topic of great interest so clinicians should be able to diagnose, treat, and manage patients with this disorder. Etiology is still uncertain. Genetics however is believed to play a prominent role, followed in importance by acquired injuries to the brain. ADHD was widely thought to be strictly a disorder of childhood. Now there are numerous scientific papers and clinical trials that acknowledge the existence of an adult version of this disorder, which can be traced back to the younger years. Before this time ADHD in adults was known as Minimal Brain Damage or Dysfunction (MBD). Adult ADHD is associated with multiple co-

1. Often fails to give close attention to details or makes careless mistakes in school-work, work or other activities. 2. Often has difficulty sustaining attention in tasks or play activities. 3. Often does not seem to listen when spoke to directly. 4. Often does not follow through on instructions and fails to finish schoolwork, chores or duties in the workplace (not due to oppositional behavior or failure to understand directions) 5. Often has difficulty organizing tasks and activities. 6. Often avoids, dislikes, or is reluctant to engage in tasks that require sustained mental effort (such as schoolwork or homework)Often loses things necessary for tasks and activities (eg. School assignments, pencils, keys) 7. Is often easily distracted by extraneous stimuli. 8. Is often forgetful in daily activities. Some children with ADHD continue to have it as adults. And many adults who have the disorder PAID ADVERTORIAL

don’t know it. They may feel that it is impossible to get organized, keep a job, or remember and keep appointments. Daily tasks such as getting up in the morning, preparing to leave the house for work, arriving at work on time, and being productive on the job can be especially challenging for adults with ADHD. These adults may have a history of failure at school, problems at work, failed relationships and traffic accidents. Like teens, adults with ADHD may seem restless and may try to complete several tasks as once, most of them unsuccessfully. They also tend to prefer “quick fixes,” rather than taking the steps needed to achieve greater rewards. On the other hand, it is important to know that ADHD can occur in high frequency with other comorbidities such as anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder and other personality disorders. There is high frequency of misdiagnosis and diagnosis is usually subjective and based on behavior and clinical history. Treatment is very rewarding, there are multiple classes of medication and alternative treatment available for those who don’t respond to conventional therapy. Cognitive behavior therapy and coping strategies remain the long term treatment of choice for ADHD If you or someone you know may have Adult ADHD, call Johns Creek Family Medicine at 770-771-6591 and schedule an appointment with Dr. Zack Charkawi.

Members of ‘Little Helpers’ gather ATLANTA — Families from Atlanta, Roswell, Cumming, Woodstock, Milton and Marietta helped feed more than 500 people as part of the kick off for a volunteer group called Little Helpers. The group has been around for five years, but this is the first community project in the Atlanta area. Little Helpers assembled sandwiches and filled 510 lunch bags at 7 Bridges to Recovery in Smyrna, a nonprofit group that reaches out to the homeless and broken, providing not just food and necessities but a way to start their lives over and get off the streets. Little Helpers has been helping children help others since Dec. 2010. The family volunteer group holds monthly

service projects for children of all ages. The program is designed to help young people understand the value of volunteering, recognize the blessings in their lives, broaden their community perspective and feel the sense of accomplishment received from lending a helping hand. The ultimate goal of the program is to raise confident children who see giving back to the community as a normal aspect of their lives. Little Helpers was created in Memphis, Tenn., but today has chapters across the country including the Atlanta area. The local group is co-founded by a family in Roswell. Next month the group will deliver treats to local heroes during the week of Sept. 11. –Zenzele Price-Richardson

Master Naturalists’ kiosk learning center to open

Ted Shipley, left, and Aileen Sayce showing the belt to the Boy Scout group

Boy Scout Troop 1099 Court of Honor FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. — Boy Scout Troop 1099 held their summer Court of Honor (COH) Aug. 31 at Lanier United Methodist Church. During the COH, a life scout, Ted Shipley, accompanied by Aileen Sayce, presented an early and original Boy Scout belt. The belt was a gift to Sayce’s late husband, Kenneth, in the 1930s by Lord Robert Baden-Powell, the founder of Boy Scouts. Sayce, born in England in 1920, attended the Hereford Cathedral Choir School in Hereford, England. BadenPowell sometimes visited the school to encourage the boys to join the scouts. It was during one of those trips he gave this belt to Kenneth. Kenneth joined

the scouts and found it to be a deeply rewarding experience. Likewise, the belt became a cherished memento of his and he carried with him as he served in India and Burma during WWII as a captain in the British Army. The belt that reads “be prepared” invoked a mantra Sayce referred to throughout his life. Sayce recently gave the belt to Ted Shipley, the grandson of her close friend, Sue Inbau, as she felt him to be a worthy recipient. Shipley demonstrates a strong commitment to the organization, is a member of the Order of the Arrow, and is working toward achieving the rank of Eagle Scout. – Zenzele Price-Richardson

Your Local Tree Experts

FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. — The Forsyth County Master Naturalists’ (FCMN) kiosk learning center will open Sept. 21 at 10 a.m. at Fowler Park, 4110 Carolene Way . This project was born out of a brain storming session during a board meeting of the FCMN. “The Anuran Monitoring project had just been undertaken and questions were being raised about what could the Master Naturalists do to help,” Franklin Ford, FCMN webmaster. “The tree sign project has been well accepted by the public and a suggestion was made to install frog signs. Pros and cons were discussed and the conversation rapidly moved to a kiosk devoted to information about frogs and the Anuran project. The kiosk idea quickly grew into a learning center kiosk concept that could include educational information on a wide range of environmental topics.” The learning centers will feature permanent displays as well as some that are seasonal or temporary, Ford said. The kiosks are designed to provide educational information on environmental and ecosystem topics that will help individuals gain an understanding of our native ecosystems and how to protect and maintain them. Additionally, the kiosks can also

be used as an extended classroom for environmental and ecosystem learning activities. The first Learning Center kiosk has been constructed and is located at Fowler Park. There are plans for more to follow at other locations. A solar panel is to be added in the near future for demo purposes and possibly to provide power for other uses, Ford said. Each kiosk will have a central theme. The Fowler Park kiosk is focused on frogs. The FCMN have teamed up with the Forsyth County Anuran Monitoring program to monitor monthly, multiple locations on the Greenway. Monitoring trails are identified by stencils of frogs along the trail. Data will be collected, recorded and sent to the Anuran Frog monitoring database by teams of Master Naturalists. Future kiosk themes will cover such subjects as recycling, water quality, water conservation, soil conservation, non-native invasive plants and animals and other environmental subjects. As citizen scientists, the FCMN are dedicated to providing unbiased information in efforts to teach and promote environmental best practices that will have an effective impact on ecosystems and wildlife habitats in our area.

King’s Ridge honors athletes of the week ALPHARETTA, Ga. — Five King’s Ridge Christian School (KRCS) students were recently honored as athletes of the week. Lexie Teas, a senior cheerleader was the first honoree. “In her first game as captain, Lexie cheered our Tigers to victory,” said Coach Kim Campbell. “She showed great leadership skills and helped us get our season off to a fantastic start.” Cullen Teas, a sophomore who runs cross-country was the second. “Cullen worked hard all summer to get in great shape for the season opener at the Our Lady of Mercy Invitational and posted a 20:44 in this first ever cross country race,” said Coach Brent King. In football, the award was given to Deporess Schletty, a sophomore. “Deporess had an outstanding game on both the offensive and defensive sides of the ball in the 41-14 victory over Master’s Academy,” said Coach Jeff Pickren. “Most impressive was a 30-yard interception returned for a touchdown that made the score 21-0. Deporess also had several tackles in the backfield and was a key part in the King’s Ridge offensive line,” Hannah Miracle, a sophomore was the recipient of the student athlete of the week in softball. “Hannah has continued to improve from last year and we look forward to watching her

War Eagles volleyball begins region play Ranked no. 4 in the state By JOE PARKER news@appenmediagroup.com CUMMING, Ga.- South Forsyth’s volleyball team is off to a promising start as the focus shifts from nonregion to region play. The War Eagles are currently 17-3 overall and 3-0 in region 6-AAAAAA. The War Eagles began the season with two losses, 3-0 against Walton and 2-1 against Woodstock. Since then, Head Coach Kelly Wren’s team has been 39-6 in sets, only dropping one match to a talented Lassiter team. The War Eagles won the Georgia Challenge tournament on Aug. 29 at the Southern Volleyball Center in Alpharetta, going 6-0 in the tourney.

Although both teams finished 8-1 in the region, Johns Creek defeated South Forsyth in the regular season to earn the tiebreaker. Johns Creek would eventually knock the War Eagles out of the state playoffs in the Elite Eight. In the region, the War Eagles will also have to compete against talented teams from West Forsyth, Lambert, Centennial and Alpharetta. Junior Amanda Nugent leads the War Eagles offense with 204 kills, 16 aces and 71 serving points.

In Sept., LHS Sideline cheerleaders will be hosting a “Gold Out” to support the same non-profit, CURE, while volunteering to raise awareness. CURE is in its 40th year and has helped to increase the survival rate from 10 percent to 80 percent. –Zenzele Price-Richardson Georgia’s overall composite score of 21, an increase from last year’s score of 20.8, brought the state to 28th, up from 30th, in national ranking. As for FCS’s future, Bearden said they’re striving to stay at the top. “Our teachers and staff dedicate their careers to meeting the academics and social needs of our students, all of which are outlined in our Learner Profile,” Bearden said. “If we do this successfully each and every day, then test results will follow.”

CENTENNIAL VS. LAMBERT PREVIEW:

Longhorns look for revenge against Knights

VISIT FORSYTHHERALD.COM FOR UP-TO-DATE CONTENT Games on 9-4 Woodland@ Forsyth Central

SUWANEE, Ga. – The defensive scheme of first-year Centennial Head Coach Lenny Gregory has endured growing pains. So has the offense of Lambert without last year’s standout rusher Trevor O’Brien. In Lambert’s season opener, the Longhorns ran 46 offensive plays for a total of 77 yards in their 17-7 loss to a talented Lanier defense. The Longhorns’ offensive line allowed six sacks, resulting in the Longhorns compiling -1 rushing yards for the game. The Lambert offense will face the new defense of Centennial, which allowed 52 points against Roswell in the Knights’ season opening game. However, the Knights will not face the same offense performance in Lambert as they saw in Roswell, which could help them to further adjust to the new defensive game plan. In 2014, the Knights’ defense was able to hold the Longhorns scoreless in the second half, propelling them to a 28-21 victory. Offensively, Centennial’s Casen Con-

way will return at quarterback, where he went 19-24 for 214 yards with two touchdowns and an interception against the Longhorns last season. Though both Lambert and Centennial struggled in their season openers, they both faced talented teams. Centennial’s new defensive approach will have to work hard in the trenches against a run-heavy Lambert offense. In what should be an entertaining game, Lambert should find its legs and blocking and be able to rack up points against Centennial’s new defensive tactics. Our prediction: Centennial 17 – Lambert 23.

CADNET ADS

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