North Fulton gears up for elections Roswell has only contested races By JONATHAN COPSEY jonathan@appenmediagroup.com

Goodbye, Mary Elizabeth Girl loses fight with cancer ALPHARETTA Ga. - After a year-long battle with Acute Myeloid Leukemia, the rarest and most aggressive form of leukemia, 12-year-old Mary Elizabeth Paris, of Alpharetta, lost her fight with cancer Sept. 3. Her mother, Mandi Posey Paris, wrote on Facebook, “She's gone. If tears or love could have saved her she would have lived a million more years. My miracle.” The Alpharetta community mourned in the days following by releasing gold balloons, displaying gold ribbons and

donating to childhood cancer research. Mandi wrote a year ago for UGA Miracle, “When I see the gold ribbons and the gold campaign I think this is the color for brave warriors that need our voice and our dollars to find a cure that I know is out there. No kid deserves to go through what they have to endure. I won't cry on the outside because my warrior princess tells me not to. So I will smile and fight on for her until a better cure is found. And I will help to keep spreading the awareness for her and all of these beautiful children.” Mary Elizabeth was a frequent guest at the WSB Care-a

NORTH FULTON, Ga. – Election season is gearing up again and this past week saw a slew of people qualifying for contested seats. Most of these candidates are incumbents who will run SPENCER BINDER unopposed. In Alpharetta, three seats are up for grabs but none are contested. Dan Merkel has qualified for Post 6, vacated by outgoing Councilmember D.C. Aiken, who is leaving due to term limits. Councilmember Jim Gilvin will retain his seat in Post 4 after no one qualified to run MERKEL GILVIN against his re-election bid. For Post 5, vacated by one-term councilmember Michael Cross, two candidates emerged – Jason Binder and Jill Reynolds. Reynolds has served on the Alpharetta Planning Commission for seven years. Even though she threw in her hat early on, she withdrew her candidacy before the end of the week. This leaves Binder running unopposed. Binder has served on the city’s Design Review Board. “I believe that I can make a difference during a critical time for Alpharetta and work toward a shared vision of successful growth while sustaining our strong core identity and values,” he said in his own announcement. In Roswell, four positions are open with two races contested. Incumbent Post 1 Councilmember Rich Dippolito will run unopposed. Becky Wynn, the Post 2 incumbent, will face off against Michael Palermo. Post 3, vacated by Betty Price who ran for the state house, has two newcomers vying for it – former Fire Chief Ricky Spencer and Donald Horton. The seat of municipal judge – the last elected judge position in the state – has no one running against incumbent Judge Brian Hansford. Milton saw all three incumbents qualify. Burt Hewitt, Matt Kunz and Rick Mohrig will all run unopposed. Election Day is Tuesday, Nov. 3.

Shot and killed Alpharetta man in ‘hail of gunfire’ ATLANTA – A Roswell woman pleaded guilty Sept. 1 to murdering her exhusband in 2013 as he was preparing to leave town with his new wife. According to prosecutors, 50-yearold Jennifer Pugh shot and killed her ex-husband, Brian Pugh, 53.

Belle Isle: ‘This is an exciting time for Alpharetta’ Conference center completion date: Fall 2017 By JONATHAN COPSEY jonathan@appenmediagroup.com ALPHARETTA, Ga. – Alpharetta Mayor David Belle Isle lauded his city Sept. 2, saying Alpharetta has made remarkable strides to improve citizens’ lives and benefit the local business community. Of all the businesses in the city, 31 percent are owned by women, which is among the highest percentage in the state. Another business-focused idea he has is joining the Greenway to downtown and Avalon, similar to what is going on in Atlanta with the Beltline. The Beltline, a network of

multiuse trails along a corridor that follows original railroad segments around the city, is credited with spurring new developBELLE ISLE ment along its route. And Belle Isle would like to see the Greenway bring similar growth to Alpharetta. The city has groups such as the Greater North Fulton Chamber of Commerce as well as the businesses and the infrastructure to be successful, he said, including four exits to Alpharetta on Ga. 400. In particular, he pointed to the looming conference center to be built and the boon it will be to local business. The need for meeting space

Alpharetta’s conference center • 65,000 square feet total • 44,000 square feet of function space – including a 10,000 square-foot ballroom • Attached to a 325-room hotel • Expected cost: Developer investment: $78.7 million • City investment: $24.9 million (capped) is critical, he said. The largest space is the Windward Marriott, on Windward Parkway, which has 8,000 square feet. Companies with headquarters in Alpharetta have to either go downtown or to Gwinnett or Cobb for large events. Alpharetta is working on a 40,000 square-foot conference center with the Avalon development to meet this need, providing companies that found enough value in Alpharetta to

locate there the ability to fully conduct business and meetings. “It’s important to connect here,” Belle Isle said. He credits the success to his City Council. There are a lot of great things the council has been a part of, he said. “I’m happy and proud to be a part of a lot of these things. This is an exciting time for Alpharetta.”

Roswell author debuts thriller ‘The Pen and the Sword’ available for online purchase By JOE PARKER news@appenmediagroup.com ROSWELL, Ga. - Roswell author L. Todd Webb’s debut thriller novel, “The Pen and the Sword,” is now available for online purchase and will be hitting local bookshelves soon. “The Pen and the Sword” follows down-and-out journalist Rick Jackson, who is caught up in a whirlwind of controversy in the aftermath of the Arab Spring. A cabal seeks the lost-lost Book of Fatimah, an Islamic book that would unify all sects of Islam. As legend has it, whoever possesses the book will have the power to hold dominion over future events. The cabal uses Jackson’s troubled past to blackmail him into communicating their version of the truth to the

American public. The novel follows Jackson and CIA agent Gin DuPree as they attempt to locate the Book of Fatimah through Jerusalem, Kufa, Samarra and Washington, D.C. amid blackmail, violence and deception. The novel took Webb nearly three years to complete, an entire year of which was spent researching the Islamic faith and the Middle East. “The research coalesced into a novel,” he said. “This book was conceived as I researched the underlying cause of the Arab Spring movement. I became fascinated with the history of Islam and that of the entire region, especially the events surrounding the end of World War I and the dissolution of the Ottoman Empire and then the Caliphate.

“I didn’t know about Islam but I was very curious about it. It ended up being a very interesting topic for me, especially when you see how it interacts with Western civilization now. As I dug deeper and began to write, actual events in the Middle East began to parallel my story. We can all hope that events don’t continue to devolve into the state portrayed in the book,” said Webb. Webb said the book is definitely for an adult audience.

MINUTES A WEEK • IN SHAPE FOR LIFE SuperSlow Zone Milton, with 2000+ personal training sessions delivered thus far, is celebrating an exceptional first year of business and changing the way adults work out. For many busy adults, health and fitness can become an afterthought. Busy schedules make it difficult to squeeze in even an hour-long workout routine several times a week. In only 20 minutes of personal strength training, once or twice a week, the SuperSlow Zone workout is helping people get fit — for life! The SuperSlow Zone protocol is the original and genuine slow-motion, personal strength training workout. The exercise protocol has been proven successful in both building muscle and increasing resting metabolism, thus allowing the body to burn more calories at rest. The goal of the continuous, slow-motion repetition is to reach total muscle fatigue within 3 minutes per exercise. SuperSlow Zone’s accredited, certified instructors work one-on-one with clients to develop an exercise program that suits individual needs and fitness levels. The results are noticeable, which keeps clients motivated and working out regularly. Patrick Colocino, 69 and retired, has type II diabetes. “This past December my A1C was off the charts. My doctor said I had to make some drastic lifestyle changes…I’m not an exercise junkie, I hate to jog and treadmills are not for me, but I had to do something. I read an article about SuperSlow Zone—‘Maximum Results, Minimum Time’. This sounded like my kind of exercise.” Within 3 months Patrick dropped his A1C by 2.5 points. “My doctor was happy and so was I.” “Since starting SuperSlow Zone training I have more energy, endurance and better muscle tone. I look forward to my 20-minute session 2x week, and for someone who hates to exercise I can’t believe I said that. I’m an avid golfer and since starting SuperSlow Zone my average drive has increased about 20 yards. This has been a great program for me and a great decision on my part.”

Start reaping the benefits now. Schedule a complimentary consultation and sample workout!

County deeds former library property to Alpharetta ALPHARETTA, Ga. – It’s official – Alpharetta now owns the site of the former public library. In action taken Sept. 2, the Fulton County Commission voted to deed roughly 3 acres of land and a building located at the corner of Mayfield Road and Canton Street to the City of Alpharetta. The former public library was closed earlier this year. “We are pleased that the property will remain in public hands so that it can continue

to serve as an amenity to the citizens of Alpharetta,” said Alpharetta Mayor David Belle Isle. “We are grateful to the members of the County Commission for today’s action and for fulfilling the assurances previously made to us.” In December 2013, Alpharetta donated 3 acres of land in its City Center Project to Fulton County to serve as the site for the new Alpharetta Branch Library. Shortly after making the donation the City

began conversations with members of the County Commission to express their interest in gaining control of the Canton Street site. The city plans to hold an open house at Alpharetta City Hall beginning at 7 p.m. on Monday, Sept. 21 to begin a public conversation on the future use of the Canton Street property. The purpose of that session is to provide Alpharetta citizens with an opportunity to share their ideas for how the

property should be used. —Jonathan Copsey

Fulton County has officially donated the site of the old public library to Alpharetta.

Sheriff’s Office pulls out of CALEA accreditation Accreditation withdrawal prompts questions from former sheriff Paxton By KATHLEEN STURGEON kathleen@appenmediagroup.com FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. — The Forsyth County Sheriff’s Office has been accredited for professional practices by the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies (CALEA) for more than 12 years. But that has come to a close now. Forsyth County Sheriff Duane K. Piper announced in

an Aug. 17 press release the Sheriff’s Office is withdrawing from the national program effective Sept. 1. CALEA is the national accreditation program for law enforcement agencies. CALEA certification is recognition of compliance to a rigorous set of standards in all phases of department training, recordkeeping and safety. “CALEA has served its initial purpose. However I feel

the redundancy and cost of the national program along with requirements that conflict with Georgia state law have made it necessary for me to withdraw from their program.” It was that last remark the

sheriff made about CALEA requirements breaking state law that had other Georgia law enforcement officials scratching their heads. CALEA-certified agencies said they don’t know of any such requirements that would violate state law. Piper said he believes CALEA’s required standard on deadly force would be a direct conflict with state laws. Paxton disagreed, saying CALEA uses the same standard and directly mirrors Georgia law word for word. CALEA Executive Director

Craig Hartley also said none of the standards conflict with any state laws. “The use of deadly force is no different for a law enforcement officer as opposed to an ordinary citizen,” Paxton said. “Law doesn’t distinguish between the two. Law enforcement has no greater latitude.” In several phone calls to Piper, The Forsyth Herald asked him to explain just what sections of the Georgia Code might be violated by CALEA. Piper returned one call but did not leave a voicemail to explain.

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

Take a walk without your phone or iPod. Enjoy the sounds and views of nature once in a while. Or talk with your partner or family. You might enjoy it.

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.

Johns Creek has work ahead for City Council races The Johns Creek City Council decided earlier this year that it would not hold special elections for the unexpired Posts 2 and 5 council seats vacated by former council members Kelly Stewart and Brad Raffensperger. It is a robust slate of candidates vying for five seats – more on that below – so residents can expect more than the round of campaign literature and door-to-door campaigning. It will be a lot for city residents to digest, but it has been a strange and perhaps unique electoral year. According to the council’s logic, the Johns Creek electorate had been through enough campaigning beginning with a bitter 2013 council election and subsequent runoffs followed by the resignations of Raffensperger and only-just-reelected Stewart to fill the position vacated by only-just-reelected State Rep. Lynne Riley, who resigned to accept Gov. Nathan Deal’s appointment as state revenue commissioner. Got that? Well now you see why council members deemed it prudent to leave the unexpired terms of Posts 2 and Post 5 vacant until the regular election slated for Nov. 3. Turnout had become tepid with so many races in succession.

HATCHER HURD

Executive Editor hatcher@ appenmediagroup.com Well, let’s hope the electorate is all rested up because there are 13 candidates vying for the five council seats that are open. Three council seats, Post 2, Post 4 and Post 6, are up for their natural 4-year end of terms. And, as mentioned before, there are the unexpired terms of Post 2 and Post 5. The most easily disposed of is Post 4, where incumbent Councilman Bob Gray is unopposed. Oddly enough, the most crowded field is for the special election for Post 2 vacated by Raffensperger. The unfilled term is all of about six weeks long because that term ends Dec. 31. So the winner can expect to be seated for two council meetings remaining (council has already cancelled the second meeting in December). Two of the four candidates are also running for the new term of Post 2, and they are

in essence running the same campaign for both seats. It does set up some interesting possibilities, however. What it is more germane to these elections is the importance that the community pays attention to these elections. If recent trends are an indicator, only a fraction of the eligible voters will turn out to choose

the decision-makers for Johns Creek in the coming term. Now 13 people have stepped up to offer themselves for what is largely a thankless job. There some far-reaching decisions to be made during the coming months and years. They have done their part in the process. But the participation of the

electorate is no less important. It is incumbent on all of the voters to be acquainted with the issues and to show up to the polls on Nov. 3. My Uncle George used to phrase the electorate’s duty this way: If you don’t vote then don’t complain (which he expressed in more colorful language).

Milton High to honor 9/11 victims Event organized, led by senior Savannah Bailey MILTON, Ga. -- Continuing the tradition of remembrance, a memorial will be created on the front lawn of Milton High School to honor the 2,996 people who died tragically on Sept.11, 2001. Savannah Bailey, Milton senior, honors student and scholar athlete, is leading and organizing the effort for the third year in a row, taking over

Volunteers interested in helping with MHS’s Sept. 11 memorial and participating in the actual ceremony can be on hand as follows: • Thursday, Sept. 10 — attaching names to flags in alphabetical order and marking locations for flag placement, drilling holes and placing the 2,996 flags; • Friday, Sept.11 — participating in the actual memorial service scheduled for 8 a.m. on the front lawn of Milton High School. All community members, students from all schools and families are welcome and encouraged to attend, • Sunday, Sept. 13 — careful and respectful removal of the 2,996 flags and names from the memorial. On Sept.10, volunteers are asked to meet Savannah Bailey on the front lawn of Milton High School at 3:30 p.m. Those who cannot come right at 3:30 p.m. should plan to attend and help place flags when they can as this process will take many hours and volunteers.

Milton High School will host a memorial for the victims of the Sept. 11 attacks. the memorial from her older brother, Zach, who led the charge for two years prior. “This is a meaningful way to engage students, teachers and the community as we reflect, remember and honor those who lost their lives on that tragic day of Sept. 11, 2001,” Bailey said. “While my classmates and I were only 3 years old at the time of this terrible tragedy, we all have a responsibility to ensure none of us ever forget. By remembering and honoring lives lost of both victims and first responders, we strengthen what binds us together as a community and as a nation.” Many volunteers from MHS clubs and organizations will be on hand to help prepare for the placement of the flags the day prior to the memorial ceremony. Milton’s firemen and policemen also will be assisting with the memorial. “The City of Milton Fire and Police men and women are always there to help me and my family with this very important

memorial,” Bailey said. “Their caring involvement makes the remembrance process that much more meaningful.” Bailey and volunteers will again alphabetize the 2,996 names of the victims prior to placing the names on flags in an effort to help those who want to locate a particular name. “I realized that, without names in alphabetical order, it was very difficult for a family member to locate the name of their loved one. It was important to me to help families more readily locate the name of their family member.” Following the creation of the visual memorial, a meaningful student-led ceremony is scheduled for Friday, Sept.11, 2015. at 8 a.m. on the school’s front lawn. The Milton High School choir will participate, as will other musicians. This is a time to reflect, remember and honor all who lost their lives, Bailey said. —Jonathan Copsey

Library ‘Friends’ to open bookstore Old barn will raise funds for library By JONATHAN COPSEY jonathan@appenmediagroup.com MILTON, Ga. – A library is nothing without the community and Milton’s new library, on Mayfield Road, is no different. The Friends of the Milton Library is a community group dedicated to heling the library. They will have the grand opening of their historic barn, on the property of the Milton Library, Sept. 12. Old farming equipment is hanging on the walls, on display from the log cabin of Old Milton High School. It certainly has a “rural” feel to it. The barn is just over 1,000 square feet and packed with books, sometimes floor-toceiling. It is created from pieces of the two old barns that once stood on the site of the library. Inside, air conditioning keeps the books safe from the elements. Milton Councilmember Matt Kunz, who is also president of the Friends, said there were two early discussions the Friends had when the library was proposed. “We’ve got these barns [on

the site], and we want to preserve these books,” said Kunz. “So we decided to combine the two ideas and use the barn as a bookstore.” He said the Milton Friends is the only such group he knows of to have its own building on a library site. They also have a space inside the library. Kunz estimated there are about 10,000 books in the Friends’ library. Unlike at the library next door, the books in the Friends’ collection are for sale. The funds raised from the sale of the books will go toward library programming that would otherwise be unfunded, such as bringing special speakers to the library. “We can help with anything they need that the county can’t provide the funds to do so,” Kunz said. Most books are less than $3 each. The Friends raised about $100,000 to build and restore the barn. This was done through private donations and is an ongoing process. A “giving tree” is located in the foyer of the library bearing leaves with the names of donors.

JONATHAN COPSEY/STAFF

Milton Councilmember Matt Kunz, who is also president of the Friends of the Milton Library, says the barn will open Sept. 12 with a party.

“There is a lot of interest in what is going on here,” said Bill Lusk, another Milton Councilmember who helped build the barn. “A lot of people want to get involved [with the library]. This is one of the destination points in Crabapple, along with the library. “This fits in with the vision of what everyone is expecting Crabapple to be,” he said.

The Friends of the Milton Library barn will host book sales to raise money for library programming. Technically, the barn is Milton’s first bookstore, Lusk said. During the grand opening Sept. 12, visitors can buy books, of course, but the ice cream social will also include root beer floats, music and fun for all ages. There is one caveat – to receive ice cream, visitors must show their library card. It’s free and can be received on-site. For more about the Friends of the Milton Library, visit them online at www.miltonlibraryfriends.org.

Cambridge to honor 9/11 victims MILTON, Ga. -- Students, teachers, boy scouts, cross country runners, cheerleaders, police officers, fire fighters and community members will all be working together to place 2,996 American flags displayed in Cambridge High School’s 9-11 Never Forget Memorial. Cambridge freshman Elizabeth Willis, organizer of this year’s memorial, leads the solemn remembrance. Willis was only a baby on Sept. 11, 2001. She was not old enough to remember the horror of the terrorist attack, the 24hour news coverage, or the way a nation pulled together in one of its darkest times. What she does remember is the impact that the 9-11 Memorial has had on her and countless others who have come out to Cambridge year after year to honor all the lives lost. As a member of the last genera-

tion alive when the World Trade Center towers fell, Willis said she is passionate about this remembrance. “The flags we set out are not just symbols of our national pride. Each flag represents someone’s son, daughter, husband, wife, friend or child. They went to school and to work. They held hands, laughed, cried and changed the lives of those they left behind,” she said. “They deserve to be remembered.” Members of the community are invited to come see the flag display during the morning or evening of Sept. 11. Individuals may pay tribute to the lives lost in the attacks and sign the Memory Book with memories they have of 9-11. Those interested in volunteering to set up the display may come to Cambridge High School at 4 p.m. on Sept. 10. —Jonathan Copsey

Do Something GRAND for Grandparents Day By SUE MCCORMICK Synergy HomeCare I’ll never forget spending time at my grand parents house and finding the inside of a cupboard door filled with dole stickers from banana bunches. When I asked my grandmother why she saved these stickers she said “Because my grandmother did it so it helps me to remember her”. So low and behold that’s what I have done in one of my kitchen cabinets in every home that I have every lived. Each time I stick a Dole sticker on the inside of the cupboard door I fondly think of a silly tradition that keeps the memory of my grandparents alive. On September 13, 2015, Grandparents Day will reach its 36th anniversary. Like Mother’s Day and Father’s Day, it’s a time for family celebration, and a chance to honor the important role grandparents play in our lives. In 1978 Congress passed legislation declaring the first Sunday after Labor Day as National Grandparents Day. Carter signed his proclamation on September 6, 1979, and the first Grandparents Day was celebrated three days later. I know that many times grandparents are unsure if their grandkids enjoy their company or if they seem like fossils to the digital kids of today. I encourage grandparents and grandkids to meet in the middle and combine the history of the older generation with the technology of the new generation. Here are several ideas for Grandparents Day gifts that can be enjoyable for all ages and create a legacy gift for your grandchild as well: Have your grandchild help you scan old photos and place them into a digital album along with the story behind the photo. Search old music websites and create a slideshow with photos and music appropriate to the time when the photo was taken. If you do any fabric work such as quilting or embroidery, help your grandchild to create a photo frame for

some of their own photos. Old broken jewelry can be repurposed into new creations that your grandchild will love to show off both for its beauty and connection to family history. MCCORMICK Another great activity for Grandparents Day, especially for younger children, is to have the child pretend to be a reporter and ask questions such as: What games did you play? What was your favorite toy when you were my age? What were birthdays or holidays like? Who was your favorite pet? Tell me about a time you got in trouble at school What was a school day like when you were little? It is more difficult to do activities together if you are living in different parts of the country, but technology has brought us more options such as email, FaceTime and Skype. Most grandparents don’t need more things that collect dust, however, many seniors want to learn and use more technology but aren’t sure how to start. Combining a technology gift with regular Skype or FaceTime calls from a grandchild to instruct how to use the device is a gift that would benefit both generations. My grandparents have died but I will continue to encourage my children to celebrate their grandparents and we all plan to eat a banana in their honor! Sue McCormick and Stacy Fotos are the owners of Synergy HomeCare North Atlanta and provide non-medical homecare to the seniors in the North Metro Atlanta area. Their caregivers assist people of all ages with any activity of daily living and their goal is to keep your loved ones in their home for as long as possible.

STOP“GUESSING” AT WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING This is what just a few Ambit 3D Hearing Aid Center customers have to say after experiencing our centers: “I’m mad at myself for waiting so long and I should know better. I’m a doctor! They made is so easy and saved me thousands of dollars from the first place I went.” -Dr. William Bennett, Cumming, G

“The best hearing aids I have ever owned, I don’t care how money you spend!” -L. Zoller, Lake Lanier, GA

“Most of my friends have hearing aids, but most had bad things to say about their hearing aids, which delayed me even more getting help. Went into Ambit, within an hour I was hearing great. Told all my friends hearing aids work, they just went to the wrong place. And the best part is I paid thousands less than what my friends paid.” -Margarette Wiley, R.N. Cumming, GA

“Words can’t say enough how Ambit has helped me. I’ve struggled with severe hearing loss for many years, which requires very special hearing aids. Ambit has delivered and even more! I have never had such fantastic service!! Thank you Ambit!!” -H. Ashbury, Jefferson, GA

“I was attracted to Ambit by the price, but when I found out they were a direct manufacturer who made the top digital hearing aids with full services center, I couldn’t believe it. I’ve never heard so well. Thanks for saving me thousands of dollars.” -J. Simpson, Gainesville, GA

“You saved my marriage. My wife was fed up with the loud television and me saying “huh?” all the time.” -P.Lucas, Gainesvilla, GA

“Being a consultant I actually went to many different places and tried many different hearing aids and hands down Ambit was the best. It didn’t bother me that I saved thousands of dollars either.” -J. Sasso, Cumming, GA

Why Spend 2X-3X More For Less? “I am a minister and my hearing loss was really creating a problem, especially after service when everyone congregated outside the church talking all at once. I couldn’t hear a one of them. I went to Ambit thinking no one could help my problem. I couldn’t believe it, I started hearing better immediately and the following Sunday after service I could hear everyone, even in the extremely noisy area. Hallelujah!!!! Now I look forward to talking to people. The best part is I did all this without breaking the bank.” -Rev. T. Plank, Jefferson, GA

Hypothyroidism: Continued from Page 26 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,

Sponsored Section • HEALTH & WELLNESS 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 diagnose Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis. 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

revueandnews.com | Revue & News

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.

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.

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 senior-living 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 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 of when they were young.” Other listeners may remember family outings from decades earlier, Strickland said. “If they went to the Atlanta Symphony when they were young or took their kids to a concert, that’s it,” Strickland said. “They don’t hear those anymore. 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 con-

cert 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.

Q100, Adam Bomb visits Milton High School MILTON, Ga. - Q100 attended Milton High School Aug. 28 to host the “5@9 Countdown” on the Adam Bomb Show and to cheer on the Eagles as they played the Alpharetta High School Raiders for their home opener. The Eagle’s fans flooded the stands with red to bring in their home opener. The student section was decorated with body paint and continuously waved flags in the air. The excitement for the season was shown when the Milton student section left the stands to make a tunnel on the field for the football team to run through. After speaking with the cheerleaders at the Q100 station on Thursday night, The Eagles said they are very excited about this up and coming season. Although the Alpharetta game is an anticipated game, they said they can’t wait to play Roswell. With the squad being only juniors and seniors, it’s the last football season for a lot of girls on the squad. “These girls are the most mellow, laid back group of girls,” Head Coach Natalie Stucky said when asked what she will miss most about her seniors. “These kids can influence you for the better. They can easily brighten your day.” For more information on Milton High School’s cheerleading team and football schedule, visit the school’s website at http://miltonathletics.com/. The Adam Bomb Show can be heard Mondays-Fridays from 7 - 11 p.m. on stations across country. -Zenzele Price-Richardson

WOMEN IN BUSINESS »

Creekside Corner... and its dreamer/owner Cherith Reid By LORI WYNNE CUMMING. GA — Cherith Reid is a dreamer in action. Visitors to her roadside store at the corner of Shiloh and Majors in Cumming can literally see her dreams coming true. The Creekside Corner Store, which Reid opened this past May, is a cozy gift shop and produce stand providing unique local gifts and produce. A place where people stop to shop and stay to visit, the store was the apex of a journey that had a heartbreaking start just two years earlier. In 2013, she and her first husband were living in East Cobb with their five children when tragedy struck. “My husband died of a massive heart attack in our home in front of our 7-yearold twins,” she said. The family’s world and lifestyle was changed in an instant. Looking back, she says she is so proud of her children (Deja, 19, Jade, 17, Dru, 13, and 10-year-old twins Israel and Isa) and how they have dealt with their father’s death. The twins gave the family comfort by saying, “Daddy’s in heaven now.” Raising five kids and managing the family home single-handedly didn’t leave the widow much time to date or dream, but she missed interacting with people. While she wasn’t looking for a knight in shining armor, she found one in Stacey Reid of Cumming on Match.com. “We connected immediately and knew this was something special. I told my mom after our first date, I wanted to marry Stacey.” When she saw her soon-to-be second husband’s family home and property located at 7404 Majors Road, she was immediately struck with the beauty and history of the place. The dreamer inside her was reawakened as she recalled always wanting to own a restaurant. “Stacey’s mother is a wonderful cook. She has some delicious recipes,” Reid said, adding her new husband’s synergy created a dream plan for the location that was known in the past as Pop’s Corner Market.

SUZANNE PACEY/STAFF

Leilani Jade Jeanis, Cherith Reid and Cherith's mother Tylie Baker.

NSW: How did the Creekside Corner Store get started? “I wanted the opportunity to combine home and business. A place where my kids can come and be with me. I feel at home here in the produce stand and gift shop. I love interacting with people. I wanted to do something with the situation that has been given to me and my family. I was raised in Stone Mountain and all of my kids were born at Northside Hospital. We love it here in Cumming and feel very welcome here.” What are your long-term goals for Creekside Corner? “By 2016 I would like to expand on the property to include my mini donkeys and chickens. Stacey would like to build a feed-andseed store. I still have my dream of a standalone biscuit trailer on the property, too. Describe the products at Creekside Corner. “Rustic home decor, specialty condiments, unique gifts, some local honey, produce and fresh eggs. We will sell pumpkins in the fall and Christmas trees in the winter. I’m always looking for Georgia-produced products to sell. If you are a local artisan, I would love to meet you and see your product. “Bring the family and stay for a while. Come and enjoy some old-fashioned Coca-Colas on our made-to-order swing bed. We have a couple of fire pits ready for roasting marshmallows. All of my customers become my friends.”

Stacey and Cherith Reid.

Do you have a daily affirmation that you use to get through the day? “Don’t sweat the small stuff. After all my kids and I have been through, I see life in a different perspective. I realize that life is short and precious.

SUZANNE PACEY/STAFF

I have started running on the greenway and just embracing the great things that Cumming has to offer.” Now Cumming has one more great thing to offer: Creekside Corner and its dreamer/owner Cherith Reid.

Cambridge softball undefeated and dominating Defense has not given up a single run By JOE PARKER news@appenmediagroup.com MILTON, Ga.- Cambridge softball has started the season in dominate fashion with a record of 8-0 while outscoring their opponents 64-0. The Bears currently lead region 7-AAAAA. A key to the Bears’ strong start is in their pitching. Junior Keara Napoli has started all eight games for the Bears and, according to Head Coach Anna McDaniel, Napoli has been instrumental in the team’s success. “Keara’s pitching has definitely played a big part in our season. She throws hard, accurate and driven and is just a solid player. We do have several pitchers that are we are rotating in our lineup. Not only do they give Keara some

rest, but they are also showing great promise,” said McDaniel. Though the pitching and defensive play has given the offense an easy task, the Bears are still averaging eight runs a game and McDaniel is happy with her entire team’s performance. “I think we have a very solid team this year. We have also been very fortunate as we have played some great teams and the numbers really don’t tell the complete story of how well the other teams played. Clearly our pitching has been dominate and our girls are all hitting the ball very well. All of the girls are playing very well this season. They truly play well together as a team.” Now nearing the midseason mark, McDaniel said she believes her team can keep the momentum. “What we are doing is working, so we just want to keep everyone healthy, and continue

to stay focused on one game at a time,” she said. “I think our team is naturally very focused and they are all individually driven to do their best. They truly have fun together and enjoy working as a team, which is a huge advantage. They encourage each other and keep the dugout atmosphere intense but ‘light.’” The Bears have seven regional games remaining, including games against Forsyth Central, Kell and Sprayberry, which is currently behind Cambridge in the regional standings. The Bears have already defeated all three teams in their first meetings this year. McDaniel said the focus for the rest of the regular season will be taking it “one game at a time.” She also said they will “enjoy every win, but keep playing until the end.” “We hope to be one of the teams playing in [the state championship].”

CENTENNIAL VS. LAMBERT PREVIEW:

Longhorns look for revenge against Knights

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.
