‘Lahkapani’ eyes idyllic development By JONATHAN COPSEY jonathan@appenmediagroup.com MILTON, Ga. – Off Arnold Mill Road there is a long gravel path called Lackey Road. This road meanders past farmland, through woods and over hills. It’s a picturesque view of the country and it’s only minutes from downtown Roswell or Crabapple. Deep in these woods is where you can find a development called Lahkapani. Sitting on more than 200 acres, Lahkapani is notable for one thing – it isn’t flat. It has hills and ravines, streams and man-made lakes. It’s also fairly remote. Someone standing at the bottom of one of the ravines can hear no sounds of the outside world. For one of the property owners, Bernard Wolff, he sees this not only as a benefit, but one of its primary selling points.

“You feel like you are up in the mountains,” Wolff said from his back porch, overlooking a valley with a large pond stocked with fish. “This is breathtaking scenery.” Wolff’s family bought the land in the 1940s, adding on piece by piece over the decades. His grandfather dammed up the streams on the land, making lakes that are now populated by fish and wildlife. There are about three miles of walking or riding trails winding their way through the woods. Wolff said Lahkapani is an Indian name – not NativeAmerican Indian, but rather from the country India. His father served in Burma and British India during World War II as a doctor. During his time there, he befriended a British family with a tea plantation. After the

Milton resident Bernard Wolff shows off his 200-plus acre tract of land called Lahkapani. He hopes it will one day become a perfect example of what a conservation subdivision can be.

TUTORING

MILTON, Ga. – With appropriate fanfare, the Friends of the Milton Library opened their new home Sept. 12 beside the Milton Library. Fitting for Milton, it’s a large, white barn. The barn housing the Friends also contains nearly 10,000 used books waiting to be sold. The money from their sale will go to help programming at the library. “I can’t think of any place more appropriate,” said Bob Meyers, a local historian and author of a book on the area’s historic barns. The Dinsmore family used

Milton defers CSO vote Issue returns in November By JONATHAN COPSEY jonathan@appenmediagroup.com MILTON, Ga. – The Milton City Council voted unanimously Sept. 14 to defer any decision on the Conservation Subdivision Ordinance. It is expected to come back in November, staff said. “It is my position that there does need to be some modifications to your zoning codes,” said City Attorney Ken Jarrard. He said it was impractical to adopt the CSO in a vacuum without other zoning modifications, as it would lead to a “dysfunctional” CSO. For instance, nothing in the zoning code would reference the CSO, which would exist in a “vacuum,” Jarrard said. “If we took action next week, I think it would be premature,” Jarrard said. The city has been working with a consultant on the CSO for over a year now, with multiple public meetings and drafts. A conservation subdivision is a

development that allows the builder to condense homes on a smaller amount of property in order to preserve more green space than the law typically allows. The idea is this would keep more of the city “green” than would otherwise be possible. The issue came to a head after the end of the recession when the housing industry picked back up. Residents noticed hundreds of homes suddenly being built on what had been woods or farmland. They worried about the “rural” nature of Milton that caused them to move to the city in the first place. The city is being careful to toe the line between developers’ property rights and the wants of those who live in the city. In addition to the ordinance, the city is looking at alternatives, such as an amended AG-1 zoning requirement, which could address many of the concerns of the community. City staff is working on this, a job that will take several months. The Council was initially planning to look at the ordinance at their Sept. 21 meeting. “For purposes of policy it makes sense to pass all these in a package,” Jarrard said.

Alpharetta approves milling, resurfacing of 50 roads By JONATHAN COPSEY jonathan@appenmediagroup.com ALPHARETTA, Ga. – Keeping 500 miles of roadway in working order is no easy task. It requires continual upkeep and that upkeep means construction barrels and traffic delays. At their Sept. 9 meeting, the Alpharetta City Council unanimously approved spending just

over $2 million on the milling and resurfacing of 50 streets in the city. Each year, the city budgets funds to mill and resurface the roads most in need of improvement In 2012, the city evaluated the entire inventory of roads. Each road was graded from 1 to 100, with roads garnering lower scores in greater need of maintenance.

The most recent evaluation was in February of this year, at which point the bulk of the roads deemed most in need of repair were determined to be in subdivisions said city Public Works Director Pete Sewczwicz. The proposed work along North Point Center East, North Pont Drive, Roswell Street, Canton Street and Kimball Bridge Road will be done at night,

Sewczwicz said, to minimize traffic impact. While they are at it, a portion of the Big Creek Greenway parking lot at Preston Ridge Road will also be repaved. Tree roots are upending parts of it. The contract was given to Northwest Georgia Paving Inc. for just over $2 million. They are expected to finish the work by April of next year.

OPINION

Milton’s book barn gets me in doghouse If our neighbors to the west in horse country – aka Milton – really want to do something, trust them to go root hog or die. That’s an expression that means to go all out. I’m talking about that book barn the Friends of the Milton Library opened a week ago. For the uninformed, just about every library in Fulton County has a Friends group. These are volunteers who support their local libraries – they may shelve books, hold children’s readings and bring in authors to speak. But, above all, they raise funds. They will work like ants and turn around to spend the funds they raise on things the library needs. Every library has a Friends group. It’s just Milton’s friends are, well, friendlier, shall we say. I went to that Milton Friends shindig to open their book barn last week, but whatever you do, don’t tell My Lady Wife that I was there. She thinks I have this problem with books and not being able to finish one before I’m reading another. I don’t have a problem. Please, who are you trying to kid? If she found out that I brought home a sack full of new used books, I would be in

HATCHER HURD

Executive Editor hatcher@ appenmediagroup.com big trouble again. I mean, it’s not like I can’t handle it. I just have to finesse the Lady Wife a little. Oh, you’re in trouble all right. When did you ever fool me? You see, my wife thinks I have this book problem. It’s all in her mind, really. I mean, I’m a newspaperman. Reading is what I do for a living. So it is only natural that I read other things as well. And it’s not like it is a problem or anything. I could stop reading anytime I choose. Besides, It’s not like I’m reading all that much. A little every day maybe, you know just a couple of chapters. But nothing I can’t handle. OK, so on a rainy weekend, I may hole up in the Man Cave with a good Lee Child novel. A man’s entitled to blow of a little steam, right? Take it easy for a morning or an afternoon? If he would stop with the book, that would be one thing.

But it’s not. It’s the newspaper in the morning. The Sports Illustrated in the afternoon. It’s the Reader’s Digest in every bathroom. It’s the ducking out to read in the garage. And don’t get me started on the crossword puzzles! So I was telling you about the Friends of the Milton Library. Well, most Friends groups collect a lot of books and then sell them one weekend a month at bargain prices. First Saturday of every month like clockwork, Alpharetta Friends have their book sale rain, shine or high water. But then they pack up and go home. This Milton Friends of the Library, however, is a different kind of critter. They don’t pack up and go home after a book sale. Don’t have to. You see, they built a barn right next door to hold them all. Must be 10,000 books in there if there’s one. And they were clever about it, too. Bob Meyers saw that the library was planning to tear down the old Dinsmore barn. If you know Bob, you know he has this thing for barns. He wrote a whole book about barns in North Fulton. Well, I say write; he took their pictures is what he did. Barns have character of their own.

Anyway, he calls up City Councilman Bill Lusk, who just loves all things old, and Bob tells him what a terrible thing losing that old barn would be. Next thing you know they are organizing to save the lumber off that old barn to build it right back almost on the same spot, only next to the new Milton Library, which is already there now, too. I’m trying to get him off the caffeine, too. So they go and build up a new barn out of the old barn’s parts. That’s when the Friends of Milton Library say, well, if you’ve got that barn now and it isn’t doing anything, why don’t you let us put our books in there till we can sell them? Bill and Bob said sure, and now there is this great white barn with something like 10,000 books in there. Well, maybe not all at once, but if you buy a book a day, you’ll have to come back 10,000 days to get them all. That’s a tad over 27 years. And all the money goes directly to the Milton Library for those little extras that just are not in the regular library budget. How dedicated are these Friends? They started selling

books before ground broke on the new library. As I said, all the other libraries have Friends groups, too. But this is the only one I know of that built their own book barn. If you don’t believe me, just take a trip to see Milton’s library – which alone is worth the journey. And from where I live, it is so close. I can pop out and get back with some more books and she doesn’t know the difference. So whatever you do, just don’t tell My Lady Wife about me writing this all down because she will absolutely kill me. You see, she doesn’t read my columns, so I can pretty much say what I like, and what she doesn’t know is no harm, no foul. You are already so dead. I mean, it’s not like I can’t stop or anything. I could stop right now if I wanted to. You mean like put the book down and have a real conversation? Sure, I can do that. You want talk, I’ll talk. I could talk Donald Trump plumb to death. You want a conversation, let’s do it. OK, fine. You start. OK, fine! I’ll start. So … read any good books lately?

Maybe it’s just me, but there seems to be a lot of talk lately about how millennials are ruining the world. We have been called lazy, entitled and the root of all things wrong with America. It is hard to turn on a TV or read an opinion piece without finding someone blaming my generation for pretty much every problem we have as a society. Along with those complaints, you may also hear doom and gloom about how the world just isn’t a good place anymore and all hope is gone. Seriously? Just because times have changed doesn’t mean everything nowadays is horrible. America is still great and, in my opinion, continues to be the best nation in existence. People often want to talk about how “back in their day” they had a good life and kids these days are really missing out. Life was so much simpler back then, they muse. The obvious flaw in this line of reasoning is older folks are making assumptions about something they haven’t, and can’t, experience: What it’s like to be a young adult in 2015.

I’ve got to tell you, despite the uproar some of our newfound freedoms have caused, it’s pretty great to be a young professional in this day and age. In the year 2015, you can love whomever you want, be who you want and do what you want, as long as it doesn’t hurt others. Aren’t these great things we should be celebrating? Of course, we have our issues, but we often overlook all the good that is going on around us. Complaining is easy to do and recognizing the good in people is sometimes difficult. I know, I know –the me-

dia doesn’t do anything to help this. But that’s another common assumption that’s simply wrong. As a reporter, I understand how we must report the news even when that news isn’t good. But, when it comes to filling finite space on a newspaper page, a shooting is usually considered more “newsworthy” than an animal saved from a fire. An airplane landing safely isn’t newsworthy; an airplane crash is covered intensely. Unfortunate, I realize, but that’s the way of the newspaper world. Think for a moment if we didn’t have the bad news. Everything would be sunshine and rainbows and we would never fully appreciate the good things around us. We would simply expect everything to always work out. But have you ever read a follow-up article after a particularly nasty event? It’s usually incredible. Thousands of dollars donated, people volunteering hours to help and strangers coming together for a bigger cause. That’s the good we need to be looking for in life. It’s still there. You just may have to dig a little deeper to find it.

‘BE THE VOICE’

Residents push new antibullying program Campaign targets bystanders to help By JONATHAN COPSEY jonathan@appenmediagroup.com ROSWELL, Ga. – Just about everyone has a story about being bullied in school. Whether it was physical or emotional, bullying seemed a part of life and, when we “tattled,” adults would typically see bullying as building character. If only there had been a way to stop bullying. Far from wishful thinking, however, a pair of Roswell Rotarians and residents are attempting to do just that. Deborah Cwalina and Michael Schoppenhorst created the “Be the Voice” anti-bullying campaign. “I had always had a soft spot for kids who had been bullied,” said Cwalina. “I grew up with a brother who suffered at the hands of bullies. “People from our generation say it’s a rite of passage,” she

said. “While that may be true of that generation, it doesn’t need to be the norm.” Plus, society has changed. Bullying no longer stops at the school doors or outside a student’s home. “When you see kids committing suicide over posts on social media, that’s taking it too far,” Schoppenhorst said. “With social media, the whole school knows about it. And there are apps that allow people to be anonymous. We want to help these kids by making them feel empowered.” While there are plenty of programs dedicated to stopping bullying, most are focused on either stopping the bully or helping the victim. “Be the Voice” instead focuses on those around the altercation – the bystanders. “Where there is a bully, there is a bystander,” Cwalina said. “If the bystander is quiet, they are giving support to the bully subconsciously.” The Roswell pair decided to create a program to encourage kids to watch out for bullying and stand up against the bully.

While many anti-bullying programs hand out literature or hold lectures, “Be the Voice” is more active in its approach. Videos can be watched weekly for several months, and each video can be tailored to a different theme. If a school has had issues with cyberbullying, the videos can be geared toward that subject. Twelve videos are provided and the students watch them, then discuss. “After the video plays, the teacher can have conversations with the class of the theme. The rest is up to the students. They take ownership of the program and make it creative,” Cwalina said. “These kids sit in school all day long, listening to teachers. We wanted something to catch their attention. The videos show creative ways where kid can make a difference. Each story is told by someone witnessing a situation where a bystander impacted it.” “It takes a spark to catch their attention,” said Schop

Don’t allow

penhorst. “It’s going to sink in more.” The only requirement for the program is that the subject school must have a Rotaract club. This is the school group affiliated with the Rotary Club. In Roswell, the program is free for participating schools, with the Roswell Rotary Club picking up the tab. Cwalina and Schoppenhorst say four local schools have already signed up for the program, with several more exploring the possibility.

Be a satisfied patient and a savvy consumer By 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

Thyroid: Continued from Page 20 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,

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

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 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 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.

NFCC seeks food aid ROSWELL, Ga. - September is known as National Hunger month around the country and North Fulton Community Charities (NFCC) wants to remind the community of this need. NFCC sees approximately 5,000 families on an annual basis and the financial stress that is experienced to make ends meet is a challenge for many of local neighbors. NFCC Food Pantry provides 9 tons of food and staple goods per week to local families living in the community every 10 days. With the average cost of groceries for family of four is approximately $200-$350 a week, this can cause a serious financial burden. A real concern for the NFCC food pantry is the perception that the

economy is getting better for everyone. One in every four children go to bed hungry, with parents choosing between food and paying rent, utilities or transportation. “According to a recent study by the Atlanta Community Food Bank, the northern suburbs of Atlanta have the fastest growth of food insecurity in the state. Food donations are down but the need hasn’t gone away” said Melody Fortin, NFCC’s food pantry manager. In 2014, NFCC assisted over 5,000 local low-income families in North Fulton with canned food and fresh produce. With the support of volunteers, who help fill the bags and stock the shelves on a weekly basis, it allows the agency to be a vital food resource for the needy.

Families in crisis can turn to The Hub Resource center a clearinghouse for help with addiction, mental health By HATCHER HURD hatcher@appenmediagroup.com JOHNS CREEK, Ga. – You found your daughter unresponsive in bed after taking too many pills and the paramedics came and revived her. Where do you turn after you’ve dialed 911? It probably should be The Hub Family Resource Center, a new nonprofit clearinghouse to help families deal with grow-

ing mental-health issues and drug-addiction concerns in the North Fulton community. At its ribbon-cutting ceremony Sept. 16 in Johns Creek, Executive Director Remco Brommet said the need for such a facility is as great in North Fulton as anywhere in the county, perhaps more because it is blessed with such affluence. Underneath the affluent veneer of North Fulton’s well-

manicured lawns and countryclub memberships, many families are dealing with the same issues that affect households all over the country – coping with the pressures of work or school, the availability and abuse of prescription drugs and the demons of mental illness. Families rarely know where to turn when such reverses hit their homes. The Hub can be that important first step in leading them to the help they need, Brommet said. “Our motto is ‘For the community, by the community,’”

Liz Hausmann and Johns Creek Mayor Mike Bodker, center, cut the ribbon for The Hub Family Resource Center. he said. The Hub Family Resource Center was founded with one mission: to provide a one-stop gateway to a range of resources for a variety of agencies working with the public, such as: • Police departments • Schools • Courts and probation services • Fire departments • Hospital emergency rooms The Hub is headquartered in a trim, unassuming house at 11075 State Bridge Road. It is a place where North Fulton residents can come to meet with resource specialists who can assess their needs and refer them to appropriate and trusted service providers in the community. “It will be a place where families and individuals can meet in safe surroundings with no stigma attached,” Brommet said. “They will meet with resources specific to their needs who will listen but not judge.” People won’t receive counseling at The Hub but they will be connected to existing programs designed to meet their needs. The Hub in turn works with police and fire personnel, the hospitals, courts and probation offices. “They will all have our phone number,” he said. “And we will be the front door to all the available resources which can then take it from there.” As The Hub grows, additional programs will be offered, such as parenting classes and support groups in what The Hub is calling Family Life University, Brommet said. Classes and parent education will be offered to help parents deal with their children’s addiction. “People often tell us they have been told to get help, but don’t know what kind of help they need or where to get it, or who they can trust. We will serve as a hub and connecting point to mental-wellness service providers and resources. We look forward to serving the North Fulton Community,” said Brommet. Fulton County Commission Chairman John Eaves said

The Hub will play a vital role in providing assistance throughout Fulton County for families to deal with mental health issues and drugs. “The at-risk population transcends all socio-economic strata,” Eaves said. When Eaves held crime and safety summits in North Fulton, he said many of the questions raised centered on the issues of drug addiction and mental health. “The county wants to do what it can to help,” Eaves said. Johns Creek Mayor Mike Bodker said there is a need for an organization like The Hub. “I wish it were not as needed as it is,” Bodker said. “In the northern suburbs, people tend to think we don’t have these problems that other communities do. But in some ways, better-off communities have problems others don’t have.” For instance, greater disposable income makes it easier to get introduced to drug addiction and easier to hide in some cases. The Hub will be a great asset to the North Fulton community, but in turn it will need the ongoing public support to do its job, Bodker said. Hub board member Freda Hardage said she got involved because she was concerned about what she sees happening in local neighborhoods. “I want to be part of doing something about that,” Hardage said. “At the Drake House [a program helping single moms with children] I saw a real need for this.” Board member Bev Miller echoed those thoughts. “I see a need for this in our community,” Miller said. “From working at the [Emory Johns Creek] Hospital, I see how not only patients can be affected, but how it affects a whole family. “The more you get involved, the more you see what the need is,” he continued. “And the saddest part is people just don’t know where to go. Now there will be a place to send them.”

GET actress co-stars in Alliance’s ‘Cuckoo’s Nest’ Tess Malis Kincaid lands role of nasty Nurse Ratched By HATCHER HURD hatcher@appenmediagroup.com ROSWELL, Ga. – Tess Malis Kincaid, charter member of the Georgia Ensemble Theatre in Roswell, has often found juicy roles in Atlanta theaters and elsewhere, but capturing the role of Nurse Ratched in the Alliance Theater’s “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest” is a plum indeed. Kincaid has been a Jill of all trades with GET since it opened its doors in 1993. In addition to her stage work, she has served as GET’s education director and, later, marketing director. Currently she serves as resources director with the duties of overseeing both marketing and development for the theater. As an actor/director, she has acted in 16 productions and directed another three at GET, where her relationship with GET Artistic Director Robert Farley goes way back. “I had first worked with Bob Farley when I was an acting

intern at the Alliance [Theatre] before I moved to NYC,” Kincaid said. “He also directed my husband, Mark [Kincaid], in a production there. “Bob and Anita [Farley] reached out to both Mark and me when they were in the planning stages of forming GET. We moved back down here from New York to help launch the company, and here it is, in the blink of an eye, 23 years has passed.” Recently, Kincaid sat down to talk about her “Cuckoo” experience. HOW EXCITED WERE YOU TO GET THE ROLE OF NURSE RATCHED? KINCAID: Very. When Susan Booth reached out to me to play the part, I was thrilled. To have the opportunity to do THAT role, in THAT play, with Susan at the helm, on the Alliance stage – it was and is such an honor. HOW DOES IT COMPARE TO SOME OF THE OTHER CHARACTERS YOU’VE PLAYED? KINCAID: Nurse Ratched is certainly different from anything I’ve done before. Most recently, I had played a comedic role as an aging movie star

KATHLEEN COVINGTON/SPECIAL

Tess Kincaid and co-star Thomas Neal Antwon Ghant rehearse early in the production of “Cuckoo’s Nest.” (“Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike” by Christopher Durang), so this was quite a shift. But it’s always exciting for an actor to get that kind of variety. DO YOU SEE RATCHED AS MORE A SYMBOL OF AN INSTITUTIONALIZED AMERICA, OR JUST A DEEPLY FLAWED HUMAN BEING? KINCAID: I personally see her as the latter, because that’s how I have to approach the role. But I understand that audiences are going to see the institutional symbolism that’s there. Which I’m sure

was somewhat of Ken Kesey’s intent. DID YOU READ THE KEN KESEY BOOK? AND DID THAT INFLUENCE THE WAY YOU PLAYED THE CHARACTER? KINCAID: Yes. It was quite informative to many of us in the cast. Lots of detail, background and nuance that was really valuable as we approached the text of the play. WHAT IS THE CHEMISTRY LIKE BETWEEN YOU AND THOMAS NEAL ANTWON GHANT (WHO PLAYS McMURPHY)?

KINCAID: Neal is one of the kindest, most talented people I know. We have worked together several times before, so we definitely had a level of trust in one another. That has been invaluable to our work on this play. We are not afraid to be fierce, or cruel, or vulnerable, or broken with one another. It’s been a really special thing.

GET: Continued from Page 30 RATCHED AND McMURPHY SPAR. KINCAID: The whole cast is exceptional. Many of us have known and worked with each other before. That affords a great shorthand with one another. You don’t have to worry about all those pesky “getting to know you” moments early in rehearsal. We get to dive right in. And Susan and the Alliance team have provided a wealth of research and information for us to create this world as well. The rehearsal hall walls were covered with photographs, and tables were filled with dramaturgical research. It was a rich environment for us to explore this world of a mental institution in the late ’60s. THE MOVIE IS SO ICONIC, HOW DO YOU AVOID COMPARISONS? KINCAID: I watched the movie again months ago after being cast. And then I let it go. It’s inevitable that the audience is going to have some preconceived notions based on the movie. But my job is to do the play as we approach it with this cast right now. The story is the same, but my hope is that our audience can find themselves forgetting what they thought they knew, and experience it with new eyes and insight.

‘Calendar Girls’ rollicking good fun GET’s season opener a charmer By HATCHER HURD hatcher@appenmediagroup.com ROSWELL, Ga. – Georgia Ensemble Theatre Managing Director Anita Allen-Farley campaigned for years for the American rights to produce “Calendar Girls” after seeing it on the London stage. Now we know why. It is by turns funny, poignant and almost – but not quite – hysterical. It has a truly ensemble cast that takes a while to warm to. They start slowly, as each actress begins to reveal a personality until, by the middle of the first act, you have a feel for who they are. Jennifer Levison (Annie) and Courtney Collins (Chris) are the two straws who stir the drink as BFFs who go not gently into midlife crisis. Annie is the anchor as the good wife who must watch her husband John (Robin Bloodworth) slowly die from cancer. She has the support from the other ladies of the Yorkshire Women’s Institute, a sort of women’s club that meets for tai chi classes,

Alpharetta family paying it forward gets paid back Daughter facing leukemia, basement flooded, Pay-it-forward group helps one of their own By HATCHER HURD hatcher@appenmediagroup.com ALPHARETTA, Ga. – Emily Lillystone remembers 9/11 quite well. She lived and worked in New York City when the terror struck. And, like all New Yorkers, she was amazed at the outpouring of sympathy and outright help the Big Apple received in the weeks and months that followed. When the company she worked for, Merrill Lynch, began to organize what would become the New York Says Thank You Foundation, Liillystone became a volunteer. John Curti, a senior vice president at Merrill Lynch and chairman of NY Says Thank You, led the earliest effort to pay it forward. The first opportunity came in 2003 when New York Says Thank You Foundation CEO Jeff Pareness’ son had a suggestion. The boy was saddened by fires raging in California (much like today), and said it would be good to take a bunch of toys to the fire-ravaged

areas to replace the ones lost by children there. That was the first project. “It’s a pay-it-forward foundation. So many people came to help New York after 9/11 and then [Hurricane] Sandy,” Lillystone said, so “a bunch of us wanted to do something for others who experienced some great need or disaster.” Though she now lives in Alpharetta with her husband, Ian, and three children – Charlie, 8, and 5-year-old twin daughters Hudson and Kingsley – Lillystone stayed in touch with her New York friends, one of whom would play a pivotal role after the family found themselves facing a health crisis. Two-and-a-half years ago, daughter Hudson was diagnosed with leukemia. “She is in a treatment study funded by CURE Childhood Cancer Foundation. Only about 4 percent of all cancer research is directed at cancer that attacks children. CURE raises funds solely for childhood cancer research,” Lil-

lystone said. Hudson is about halfway through a treatment protocol that will end in January 2016. So far she has responded wonderfully, her mother said. But the families involved with CURE Georgia are a tight-knit group. Two weeks ago they lost a good friend, 12-year-old Mary Elizabeth Paris, also of Alpharetta, who had acute myeloid leukemia, a more virulent strain of childhood leukemia. Last Christmas, Lillystone and her husband wanted to make it “their best Christmas ever.” But Jan. 3 of this year a violent rainstorm sent a torrent of water down their street and flooded their finished basement – where all the children’s toys were kept. The insurance company called it a level IV contamination. But the Lillystones had no flood insurance. “All the carpet was ruined also. The drywall was soaked. It all had to be removed to keep out any mildew. Well, we just threw up our hands. Our finances were already stretched to the limit fighting leukemia. The cleanup was $10,000.” Lillystone thought the basement could be put on the back

burner for now, but one person didn’t agree – and here is where fate or kismet or karma came into play. As a reminder, Lillystone was a New York Says Thank You volunteer from the early years. Her good friend Brooke Garafalo from college was and is still a foundation volunteer also. Garafalo was spending Christmas with the Lillystones and was there when the basement flooded. In past years, the foundation would tackle one big project in the summer, such as post-Katrina efforts in Louisiana and post-tornado assistance in Oklahoma. However, this year, the foundation decided to direct its efforts to 12 or 15 smaller projects. One is a 4-H Center in Katmandu, Nepal. And, as it turned out, another would be a small basement in Alpharetta. Garafalo had little trouble convincing friends at New York Says Thank You that the Lillystones would be a good choice to be on the receiving end of one of the projects. “I got an appointment with Jeff Parness, and he had already heard about what happened here. So he flew down to take a look at their house.

He took one look and said, ‘Let us do this for you.’ Then they went into motion,” Garafalo said. The troops flew in Friday, Sept. 4, Labor Day weekend. A couple of dozen volunteers came from all over – New York, Idaho, Texas and some firefighters from Slidell, Louisiana. They put in new flooring, drywall, a new bathroom and tile. Outside, they installed French drains so that no new flooding could occur. And, for good measure, they installed a swing, slide and gym set in the side yard. For the Lillystones, the volunteers have been a godsend. “It is unbelievable. We’ve been through a lot, first with Hudson’s treatment and then the basement flooding. It just brought tears to our eyes,” said Lillystone. “It means so much to us because this was something we just were not going to be able to do for the kids. “It’s just been amazing. Words can’t express having this group raise all this money, pay their own way to fly down and give up a holiday weekend with their family and do this for our family. It restores your faith in humanity,” she said. “It’s awesome.”

The Friends managed to save some of the wood from the barns and incorporated that into the new structure.

FOOTBALL WEEK 3 ROUNDUP:

Johns Creek upsets Alpharetta, Roswell continues to roll By JOE PARKER news@appenmediagroup.com NORTH FULTON, Ga.- The Gladiators of Johns Creek were able to upset three-time defending Region 6-AAAAAA champions Alpharetta 42-39 on Sept. 11 at home. It was Johns Creek’s first-ever win against the Raiders. Johns Creek led the Raiders 42-32 with under a minute left when Alpharetta quarterback Davis Kelly scored a 16-yard touchdown on a quarterback keeper. Kelly was in for starter Matt Downing, who left the game with an apparent hand injury. With 37 seconds remaining, Alpharetta attempted an onside kick but failed to recover, allowing Johns Creek to seal the upset. Alpharetta and Johns Creek are now 1-1 in region play. Alpharetta will look to bounce back this week when they take on Lambert at home. Johns Creek faces region-leading Northview. Northview, South Forsyth and Lambert sit atop Region 6-AAAAAA with 2-0 records. Northview (3-0, 2-0) defeated North Forsyth 26-9 to remain undefeated on the season.

Centennial and Chattahoochee will both be looking for their first win of the season when they meet Sept. 18. Both teams will be coming off losses in what were offensive shootouts. The Knights fell to Lambert 45-30 and Chattahoochee was defeated by West Forsyth 45-27. In Region 5-AAAAAA, Roswell opened up their region schedule against Lassiter and dominated. The Hornets beat Lassiter 52-10. It was the second time this season the Hornets scored over 50 points and are currently outscoring their opponents 139-18 through three games. Roswell has a bye this week. Milton fell to Wheeler 35-7. After winning 11 games and reaching the third round of the playoffs in 2014, the Eagles have yet to win a game so far this season. The Eagles will face Lassiter this week before playing Roswell Sept. 25. Blessed Trinity (3-0) remains undefeated on the year after defeating Creekview 33-7. The Titans will face Maynard Jackson Sept. 19 before beginning Region 4-AAA Division B play against Douglass Sept. 25. The Titans were 5-0 in region play last season, winning

In region 6-A Division B, Fellowship Christian was handed their first loss of the season as the Paladins fell to Chattooga 30-23. The Paladins opened with the first 10 points of the game before back-and-forth scoring kept the score close. With under five minutes to go, the Paladins took a 23-22 lead but failed on a 2-point conversion. Chattooga would quickly score on a 49-yard rush and successfully converted a 2-point conversion to make the game 23-30 with under four minutes to go. The Paladins would turn the ball over on downs, allowing Chattooga to run out the clock. Fellowship Christian, King’s Ridge, Mount Pisgah, Pinecrest Academy and St. Francis will

Milton High School’s Varsity Cross Country team members traveled to Virginia.

Milton High School teams sweep team titles SALEM, Va. - The Milton High School Cross Country teams travelled Sept. 12 to Salem, Virginia to compete in the 12th annual Knights Crossing Invitational and came away with four team trophies and three runner-up finishes against some top-US programs. Varsity Girls: The Lady Eagles, who were 6th last year at this meet, were ready to take on the challenge of Blacksburg (Va.), ranked 7th in the US and Morristown-West (Tenn.), ranked 23rd in the US and broke through with a runner-up finish. Senior captain, Riley Burr (6th- 18:42) moved into the top-10 during the race to record the 2nd fastest performance in Milton history. Junior Marie Repasy (11th- 19:12) ran with Burr through two miles and was able to secure a 2-second personal best and became the 6th fastest all-time for the Lady Eagles. Freshman Taylor Cushman ran close to a 42-second personal best to finish just outside the medals (16th- 19:35). Senior captain, Victoria Wagner (27th20:06) and sophomore Emily Bowers (35th-

20:31) concluded the Milton scoring. Varsity Boys: Facing their toughest opponent since last year’s state meet, Milton (2nd-113 pts) was thoroughly out-paced by Broughton (N.C.) (1st-18 pts). 25 schools scored as the Eagles were clearly ahead of Blacksburg (3rd124 pts). Leading the way was sophomore Sam Bowers (8th- 16:10) who ran in the top 10 the majority of the race, along with senior captain Matt McGorrey (15th- 16:26) who grabbed the last award winning spot. A very strong last mile of the race saw sophomore Michael Malkowski (20th- 16:35) pass as many as 30 runners on his way to an 8-second personal best. Senior Jacques Du Plessis (30th16:50) had a strong first two-thirds of the race and fellow senior John Fravel (42nd-17:03) was the Eagles final scorer. The Eagles cross-country teams were next at the Fulton County Cross Country Championships on Saturday, Sept. 19. —Zenzele Price-Richardson

King’s Ridge announces athletes of the week ALPHARETTA, Ga. - Two King’s Ridge Christian School (KRCS) students were honored as “Pizza Hut Athletes of the Week.” The two young ladies are Varsity players who had stellar performances Aug. 28. Shelby Suuplee is a junior softball player at KRCS. According to Ardin Tucker, Varsity Softball Head Coach, “Shelby started the season off strong offensively. In the NCC game, she hit a 2-run home run in the first inning and tied the game up in the 7th inning with a clutch base clearing double. Shelby has also played defense at first base. Through hard work and dedication during this off-season, Shelby has improved her game this year and she is also a leader on and off the field.” Grace Bryant, a freshman volleyball player, was recognized for her tremendous performance. According to Varsity Head Volleyball Coach, Megan Hampell, “Her defense was better than it has been all year and her serve-receive percentage is at 2.00, which is excellent. She was also recognized recently for being the number one server in terms of Aces in all single A schools in Georgia.” —Zenzele Price-Richardson

The Lahkapani property has several ponds, trails, ridges and valleys and is one of the largest pieces of land open for development in Milton.

an amalgam of Indian words loosely meaning “lots of water.” Wolff and his siblings are not spring chickens anymore and have looked at selling the property for development, like so many Milton residents. He said the response they got from developers was underwhelming. “They said the place is garbage,” Wolff said. “They can’t develop it.” The issue, he said, is the way development has been done for the last 50 years – clear the land, grade it, then set a home on it before doing the same with all its neighbors. In Lahkapani, the topography is so varied that such an option is not economically possible. Then Wolff was introduced

Girls: Continued from Page 31 ence drawn into the world of these quirky women of all ages, shapes and sizes and how they find their own moon-orbits in it. As the first act wends its

to a new concept – conservation subdivisions. Conservation subdivisions differ from the typical developments in that they use the topography of the land as an asset rather than an obstacle. Houses and roads meander on the property, sparing as many trees, creeks, steams and other natural amenities as possible. Wolff envisions a conservation subdivision on Lahkapani that could preserve the area as well as serve as home to new residents or retirees not interested in the typical subdivision world. “Your world is not your lot like it is in a subdivision. Your world is the property in the entire community,” he said. He compared it to a house on a beach, or a condo in New

York City: The home itself isn’t why you bought the property; it’s the amenities and the surrounding land that give the appeal. “Every square foot of green area is just as important as where the houses sit,” he said. For Lahkapani, Wolff said he envisions smaller homes dotting the landscape, perched in clusters atop ridges, arranged in “villages,” perhaps with a small commercial element included. Milton Community Development Director Kathleen Field said Wolff’s Lahkapani was the largest proposed project in the city that she is aware of, clocking in at between 234 and 350 acres and could yield as many homes. Wolff’s biggest problem

right now is that Milton is grappling with how to adopt and implement regulations governing conservation subdivisions. Today, they are impractical, as Milton has no formal code. Field said, outside of a conservation subdivision use, the property could rezone to mixed-use, incorporating different types of uses (office, retail and residential). It could also potentially rezone using a conditional-use permit, which would only allow residential but would be flexible on where they could be situated. However it happens, Wolff believes Lahkapani would be ideal for the Milton and Roswell communities. “For us, it’s always been Lahkapani,” Wolff said, “and we hope it always will be.”

way to the inexorable first-act climatic photo session, you think McKerley can’t possibly pull it off with decorum and “no front bottoms showing.” Let’s just say McKerley walks a thin yet somehow decorous line between the power of suggestion and the full monty. “Calendar” is a based on a

true story of a group of housewives who really did pose for a calendar (nude, not naked) and caused a national sensation. Act II is how the notoriety changed them and strained their relationships but, through it all, they found new inner strength. Bethany Irby is striking as

Cora, a woman that on one hand wants to be a woman on her own terms but can’t shake growing up PK (Preacher’s Kid). Celia (Meg Gillentine) should be the vamp of the group – and would be if she could overcome her own insecurities. The “Mark Cabus ShowMust-Go-On Award*” goes to Vicki Ellis Gray (Ruth) who did not let a fractured shoulder keep her from appearing opening night and making the most of her moments. (*Cabus was the irrepressible Alfred P. Doolittle in last season’s GET finale “My Fair Lady.” He suffered a severe ankle injury and performed with such panache on crutches one seldom noticed them.) Alex Bond (Jessie) and Joanna Daniel (Marie) added more spice to the confection. But kudos to McKerley for making this pastiche all come together so delightfully. It is a big thumbs-up, but it is not for the squeamish. It has mature subject matter and language, but it is never gratuitous. It is a marvelous season opener for GET and the good news is there are four more plays to come.

Blotter: Continued from Page 2 man was arrested Sept. 12 after allegedly coming to Alpharetta simply to fraudulently buy a computer. According to police, the suspect, Travis M. LaPage, 32, of Matthews, North Carolina, went to the Apple store in North Point Mall and agreed to purchase a $1,229 Mac computer. He offered to pay by check. LaPage allegedly presented a check and ID that identified him as another North Carolina man. Staff became suspicious of the check, as LaPage did not take out a checkbook, but had just the single

check on him. A call to the bank confirmed it was fake. Police searched LaPage and found on him another driver’s license and U.S. passport, each bearing his real name, as well as two bus tickets – one from Charlotte, North Carolina, to Norcross, taken Sept. 10, and one for later that day, Sept. 12, back to Charlotte. LaPage was charged for first-degree forgery and fourth-degree forgery.

valued at $1,300. Smith-Obasuyi was arrested for fourth-degree forgery.

ALPHARETTA, Ga. – The Apple Store at North Point Mall was the site of another forgery Aug. 28, when a man allegedly used a fake check to buy $1,200 in

merchandise from the store, as well as several other stores in the mall. Police were called to the mall after employees of the Apple store told them a man had attempted to buy $1,213 in goods from the store using an “obviously fraudulent” credit card. Dukpe Smith-Obasuyi, 25, of Atlanta, allegedly used a Green Dot prepaid card and made it look like a credit card. When police arrived and found Smith-Obasuyi, he was talking on a cell phone and, when he spotted them, allegedly said into the phone “Cops, the cops, cops.” He declined to speak with police. In his possession were two shopping bags from Dillards and Von Maur, the items in which were reportedly bought using the fake credit card. They were

Yngrid Jones-Huff, chief planner for Fulton Schools said declines in elementary numbers were predicted but a new state charter school may have also played a role in an even steeper decline this year. “The state’s International Charter School which opened in Roswell pulled a large number of students from specific schools,” explained Jones-Huff. “It’s

a dual immersion program… [and] I speculate this school opening may have impacted our elementary schools.” She noted the actual cause for the variation cannot be determined until an analysis is done based on each student’s “geocode.” The rise in middle and high school enrollment is likely tied to a more robust real estate market in North

Fulton. “The middle and high school increases are most likely an indicator of residential sales and resales in the region,” said Jones-Huff. “Because of the price points in far North Fulton, more mature families with older children are attracted to this region versus newer starting families with younger children.”

Spending spree using fake checks

Landlord out rent ALPHARETTA, Ga. – A landlord is out his rent after someone broke into his car and stole the money Sept. 5. The landlord told police he was collecting money from his tenants on Plymouth Lane. The money was placed in a bank-deposit bag in his car. After he collected rent from several tenants – in total, $3,830 in either cash or money orders – he began doing yard work on his properties. A half-hour later he returned to his car and found a window smashed and the money bag missing.
