European Market visits Alpharetta Hosts ‘treasures under the big top’ By JONATHAN COPSEY jonathan@appenmediagroup.com

JONATHAN COPSEY/STAFF

Guests of the European Market Sept. 19 and 20 were greeted to spooky Halloween décor and items.

ALPHARETTA, Ga. – Alpharetta had a little taste of Europe Sept. 19 and 20 as the annual European Market returned to Milton Avenue. The market was held underneath two enormous tents that covered the street. Local artisans and gatherers created a European marketplace in which to sell their treasures. Rustic art, vintage and found designs as well as the newest (or oldest) fashions filled the tents, with their vendors greeting guests. Near the front of the event, on the street, was a series

of booths by Canton-based gardener Robert Paradies, of Paradise Horticultural Services. Flowers and veggies were available for visitors to admire and buy. He said this was his third time coming to the European Market and each time it gets bigger. He attributes this to the support the event gets from the city. “Alpharetta is good about supporting events like this,” he said. “They close down the street, which must cause problems.” Local businesses, especially those in the downtown, must benefit, he said, from the people who are drawn downtown for the events. “There are a lot of festivals and each city is competing against others,” he said. “But Alpharetta has a good vision.”

Alpharetta mulls old library use Arts, teen center options By JONATHAN COPSEY jonathan@appenmediagroup.com ALPHARETTA, Ga. – When the county opened a new public library as part of the Alpharetta City Center project, there arose the question of what to do with the old library on Mayfield Road. The county has since given the 3-acre parcel of land over to the city. A public meeting was held Sept. 21 at City Hall to solicit public ideas of what to do with the 10,000-square-foot building. For now, the building and property will fall under the jurisdiction of the Parks and Recreation Department and its director Mike Perry. “What are we going to do with it?” Perry asked.

The city created a parks master plan several years ago. Perry said that, in that plan, the land was slated to be used as an arts center. While Alpharetta already has two arts centers – one in Crabapple and one in North Park – they are limited in size and are not located near the city's downtown. The suggestions from the public at the meeting ranged from an arts center to a computer museum and technical school for seniors and teens. Some residents suggested it be bulldozed and turned into green space and traffic improvements. Members of the city's arts community, especially from the Alpha Arts Guild, turned out in force. “This can be an impactful, vibrant and renowned arts center,” said Mike Buchanan.

Vickery Creek Park backpack bomber pleads guilty ATLANTA - Michael C. Sibley, 67, of Marietta, pleaded guilty to placing a backpack containing two pipe bombs at Vickery Creek Park in the Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area in 2014. He was charged with conveying false and misleading information about a crime. “In addition to breaking the law, threatening an act of terrorism is a serious matter that diverts scarce law enforcement resources away from legitimate threats and unnecessarily causes alarm,” said U.S. Attorney John Horn. “Sibley’s crime is even more troubling because he attempted to exploit stereotypical fears and prejudices.” Sibley left a backpack on the nature trail of Vickery Creek Park Nov. 4, 2014. The bag contained

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

what appeared to be two completely constructed pipe bombs. Nails and screws were taped to the outside of the tubing, consistent with construction designed for maximum fragmentation upon explosion. The pipe bombs also appeared to be ready for remote detonation. The devices, however, did not have a power source, which is required to remotely cause an explosion. The name written on the abandoned backpack appeared to be a Middle Eastern name. The backpack also contained two books: “The Rape of Kuwait” and the Quran, the Muslim holy book. Visitors to the park reported the backpack to police. The bag triggered a response from officials that included bomb technicians as well as significant law-enforcement interest

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.

Spending spree using fake checks 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

in finding a suspect. On March 20, 2015, Sibley voluntarily contacted the FBI and asked to meet with the agents. During this meeting, he confessed to making the devices and to placing them in Vickery Creek Park. Sibley stated that he placed the bag with the devices, books and other items in the park to “wake up” people in the United States. He related that he believes the Mexican border is poorly defended and that many people are entering this country illegally. He also said that he made the explosive devices and placed them in the park to make people realize that, if this can happen in Roswell, Georgia, it can happen anywhere. The sentencing for Sibley is scheduled for Jan. 1, 2016.

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

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

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 bankdeposit 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.

Roswell puts hold on new street lights Cites rising electricity costs By JONATHAN COPSEY jonathan@appenmediagroup.com ROSWELL, Ga. – Roswell has placed a “pause” on allowing new street lights in the city. At their Sept. 16 meeting the council voted unanimously to impose the halt order. Deputy Director of Transportation Muhammad Rauf

said the move was necessary. “We have a high power bill we pay every month and every year it keeps going up,” Rauf said. City officials say the cost of electricity to power the lights is growing every year. Coupled with an ever-increasing amount of lights in the city, Rauf says there is a growing problem. Five years ago, the city paid about $1.1 million in electricity for both street lights and traffic

signals. Last year it paid $1.4 million for the same services. “It is going up gradually, but still going up,” Rauf said. Rauf said the pause excludes any city projects or any new private development or redevelopment. It really only applies to requests for new lights from established developments and residents. Rauf said the city will complete a study on where it has street lights and where it needs

more. It will also draw up plans for cost-effective ways to mitigate the growing costs. This can include switching all the lights over to cheap LED technology or simply moving existing lights. “We are trying to do whatever we can to save the money overall. We cannot keep adding to our power bill.” The “pause” is in place until Dec. 31, 2016, or until the city creates a new policy.

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 growing 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,’” 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

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

‘WE’RE NOT GONNA TAKE IT’

Atty. Gen. Olens spreads message to Centennial HS Warns drug addiction often begins at home

By HATCHER HURD hatcher@appenmediagroup.com ROSWELL, Ga. – Sam Olens, Attorney General for the state of Georgia, spoke Sept. 16 to a group of Centennial High School students with an interest in medical careers. Olens encouraged them to spread the word about his anti-drug campaign – especially the dangers of abusing prescription drugs. Olens makes no bones about taking a page out the state of Kentucky’s playbook. His “We’re Not Gonna Take It” drug program is in its second year and is based on a similar Kentucky program that takes the message directly to the students. “We spoke to 6,000 students last year. This year we plan to double it,” Olens said. For added interest, he chal-

lenges high schools to come up with their own 30-second “We’re Not Gonna Take It” video public service announcement discouraging prescription drug abuse. The winning videographers will receive iPads in addition to having their winning videos aired on Georgia television stations as a PSA for four months. Olens began by telling the students that many teenagers’ addiction to opiates started from the same source – their parents’ medicine chest. Opioid drugs, such as hydrocodone or oxycontin, are highly addictive, overprescribed and frequently left on shelves or countertops by parents, he said. The problem is young people too often find the opioids and begin taking and/or selling them. “Many times the parents don’t realize the pills have disappeared. Then the kids are buying them on the street,” he said. It really is a short step from buying prescription drugs il-

licitly, he said, to going on to heroin, which is cheaper and easier to find. “Heroin has become more socially acceptable now, because you don’t have to inject it anymore. You can smoke it or sniff it,” Olen said. Addressing the Centennial students, Olens told them that in the last 15 years, the prescriptions for opioid drugs have quadrupled. The biggest misuse by doctors is to prescribe them for postsurgical pain. “They should only be pre-

scribed for chronic pain. My son came home from college after having gum surgery and showed me a prescription for hydrocodone, an opioid. He shouldn’t have given my son that prescription. That is what aspirin and Aleve are for,” Olens said. “As a child my parents knew just how much was in the liquor cabinet, but we never had discussions about what was in the medicine cabinet.” Also society talks a great

‘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

JONATHAN COPSEY/STAFF

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. 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 war, he

returned to the north Atlanta area but kept in touch with the family. One year, they visited the Wolff family’s property and said a good name for it would be Lahkapani, 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

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Reader responds to Trump editorial Appen Media Group publisher Ray Appen’s editorial (“So why does Donald Trump get all the attention?” Sept. 2 issue) makes 23 generally incomplete, superficial and/ or misdirected points. The paper’s word limit only allows me to examine the first 5. Trump may or may not be what is needed (or part of the solution). TBD. Appen’s statements and opinions are disjointed/rambling to the point of being embarrassing - pure bias, not a reasoned argument. Clueless. He should take Lincoln’s advice. It’s “better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt.” Just because you can doesn’t mean you should. Hard left anti-Christian/ American George Soros values and “surrogates” (Obama, Hilliary, et. al.) cause our problems - not Congress. Reid and Pelosi just did Obama’s bidding. Corrupting our political process. Creating division and distraction using lies. Five Appen points (with corrections) include: 1. “The country is fed up” We’re way beyond “fed up”

and/or just mad. We’re enraged and disgusted. “We’re tired of being tired” - Public “servants” are corrupted to become abusive political operatives, privileged liars and the people’s enemy. Truth, Justice, “America” dies. “We’re tired of a government that cannot or will not govern” - Adam Smith, and all of history since, have shown that free market mechanisms routinely outperform governments, especially top down, socialist/communist, tax, spend and regulate elitism. I pity and fear those who think otherwise (Bernie Sanders?). Read “Economics for Dummies” - please. “We’re tired of continuing congressional brinkmanship” (by Democrats) – Republicans: take principled action for a change. GiveA-Way “takers” are bought Democratic votes. “Compromise is not a dirty word” - It can be. Commitment to correct principles (or lack thereof) is a “root” cause of our problems.

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 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

HATCHER HURD

Executive Editor hatcher@ appenmediagroup.com 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

Look for the good in life 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 grew up when the Internet was blooming and I am thankful for that. I had to teach myself how to use

it and, in the process, learned so many valuable lessons. 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.

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

KATHLEEN STURGEON Forsyth Herald Reporter kathleen@appen mediagroup.com

I know, I know – the media 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 news-

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? worthy; 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.

Lovebirds head to the library Couple reflect on meeting, growing with Alpharetta branch By JONATHAN COPSEY jonathan@appenmediagroup.com ALPHARETTA, Ga. – Love takes many forms. For Ed and Mitzi Schepps, that form was the old Alpharetta Public Library. Each year for 24 years, the couple have returned to the library to celebrate how they met. Mitzi said they were both part of a bike ride in August 1991 that took riders through Alpharetta and the surrounding area. It began and ended in the parking lot of the Alpharetta Library on Mayfield Road. While Ed was a seasoned cyclist, Mitzi was a neophyte, struggling through the “easy” 18-mile ride. To top it off, when she finished, rain had set in. “I had no idea what I was doing,” Mitzi said. Rain-soaked, Mitzi finished the ride and pulled into the library parking lot. There,

beneath his SUV’s hatchback, was Ed, eating Fig Newtons. Mitzi sought shelter and food and the couple began to chat. By the end of the conversation (and food) Ed had asked Mitzi out on a date that evening. “She was into the outdoors,” said Ed about what attracted him to Mitzi. “That was a big thing for me. Biking was important, and she was a veterinarian and a smart woman.” The attraction was similar for Mitzi. “He was good looking, professional and an engineer,” she said. “I wasn’t looking for anything but I decided to take a chance anyway.” The rest, as they say, is history. After that first day in August 1991, they were engaged by the end of 1992 and married in September 1993. In those 24 years, much has changed, including moving from Alpharetta to East Cobb and having two sons. But they have not forgotten how and where they met – the Alpharetta Library. For their first anniversary, Ed took Mitzi on a surprise trip

Ed and Mitzi Schepps first met at the old Alpharetta Public Library. Each year they come back to celebrate that day. back to the library for a picnic. She had forgotten the importance of the day, she said. But Ed had not. And every year since they have made a pilgrimage back to the library to spend the day, remember how they first met and take a photo of themselves by the library sign. This August may have been the final year to repeat this ritual. The library is closed, relocated down the road to a new

building in City Center. The old library’s future is uncertain, although the county, which owns the land, is to hand it over to Alpharetta soon. Alpharetta officials say they have not settled on what to do with the building. However, one thing is certain - it will no longer be a library and will no longer need the library sign the Schepps have posed in front of their entire marriage.

While it is sad to see the library closed, Ed said he was glad he and Mitzi had such an enduring tradition. “We have got to take every opportunity to celebrate,” said Ed. “There are plenty of times in life when you can’t celebrate.” Even though the Schepps’ tradition is gone, along with the old library, they are looking forward to possibly starting a new tradition next year.

Shows what teens should know before parents hand over car keys By HATCHER HURD hatcher@appenmediagroup.com JOHNS CREEK, Ga. — When a teenager – or anyone, for that matter – gets behind the wheel of a car, he or she will have to make a series of life-ordeath decisions until that car is parked again. Most people think those decisions are always obvious and commonsensical. But one wrong decision is all it takes to be injured, paralyzed or dead. That is why DriveSmart Georgia is partnering with Mothers Against Drunk Driving, Students Against Destructive Decisions, the University of Georgia Extension Services and the American Automobile Association to have a special Saturday afternoon devoted to showing young drivers, in an entertaining way, that safe driving is just good sense. “We are all co-hosting a free interactive community event called Start. Smart. Drive,” said DriveSmart Community Manager Jackie Kass. It will take place in the DriveSmart parking lot at 6000 Medlock Bridge Road near 37 Main. The event is from noon to 4 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 17. Amy Sands from MADD is also bringing several Falcons

cheerleaders and some retired Atlanta Braves players. Speakers will discuss related topics and attendees can even learn how to change a tire – something you don’t want to learn on a lonely road at night. “This community event is shaping up to be a pretty big deal for parents and teens in Johns Creek. We will also have involvement from students from Johns Creek, Chattahoochee and Northview high schools,” Kass said. The FM Power 96.1 radio station will be on hand to broadcast live as well as air spots the week prior to the event. Activities will include: • UGA rollover vehicle to demonstrate the importance of using seatbelts • Live radio remote • Falcons cheerleaders • Retired Braves players • Johns Creek Fire Department with crash vehicle • MADD talk with victims panel • Driving simulators • Interactive games and prizes • Support from local restaurants and businesses • “Drunk goggles” and pedal car races • Photo booth (no texting and driving sign)

This community event is shaping up to be a pretty big deal for parents and teens in Johns Creek. We will also have involvement from students from Johns Creek, Chattahoochee and Northview high schools.” JACKIE KASS DriveSmart Community Manager

“The idea is to focus on lifelong skills that every young driver should have. And it all starts above the shoulders,” Kass said. “It’s about keeping kids from becoming a statistic.” Yoko Tiscareno, a public affairs spokeswoman for AAA, said her organization’s goal is to advocate for safe driving. Tiscareno said the event is entertaining but makes its point. Driving is a responsibility and there are consequences for those who don’t respect the power of 2,000-pound automobile. “We want the kids to enjoy themselves and we think they will. But we want them to

know driving is serious business. Our objectives are totally in alignment with Start.Smart. Drive,” Tiscareno said. “We are also active during prom season.” The event is meant to be interactive, Kass said. So there will a rollover simulator, provided by the UGA Extension Service, that will show just what happens to humans (in this case dummies) during a rollover – with a seatbelt and without one. Students will be invited to drive in simulators that mimic conditions such as rain, sleet and snow. They can wear fogged goggles to simulate driv-

The Johns Creek Police Department also will participate in the demonstrations. There will be prize giveaways including iPads and gift cards to local restaurants. “It’s a way to get parents and their teenagers talking about driving safely but in a non-threatening, entertaining way,” Kass said. “Our goal is not just to get teenagers to pass a driving test. We want them to have lifelong skills – not become a statistic. “There are also cart races. We think it is a fun and entertaining way to engage the whole family,” Kass said.

Alpharetta Rotary supports Department of Public Safety distracted drivers program ALPHARETTA, Ga. - Distracted Drivers? Do you see them? Are you distracted at times? If you have younger drivers in your home, what about them? To help address the growing problem of distracted driving, the Alpharetta Department of Public Safety has been raising funds in order to launch a Distracted Drivers Awareness program. The program’s efforts are to educate drivers of all ages about the risks of distracted driving - texting and drinking while driving. Now that the department

can obtain the needed equipment, be on the lookout for this program to be offered at area high schools and other public events in the near future. The Alpharetta Rotary club contributed $3,000 in support of this program on Sept. 11. “I am very proud that our club can donate to this needed program which is just another example of how Alpharetta Rotary continues to live up to its motto of ‘Service Above Self,’” said Rotary President Kirk Driskell. —Isabelle Nguyen

Ruth’s Chris hosts open house Will soon open for lunch By JONATHAN COPSEY jonathan@appenmediagroup.com ALPHARETTA, Ga. – What is the best way for an upscale restaurant known for dinner to sell itself for new lunch offerings? By holding an open house, complete with food samples. That is what the Alpharetta Ruth’s Chris Steak House did Sept. 18 to announce their plans to begin opening for lunch. Opening their doors to local businesses, chambers of commerce and city officials, Ruth’s Chris had an impressive array of their famous food on hand all while showing of their varied event space, which they say is perfect for any occasion. Each of the five event rooms was decorated by a different designer to highlight a purpose of the space. One room had a wedding reception, another featured a holiday party, yet another was set up as a boardroom meeting space. “We can do anything from business luncheons to board meetings or holding wedding receptions,” said Kelsey Lynch, with Ruth’s Chris. Modern Luxury Magazine helped the restaurant connect with different event planners and designers for the day – florists, confectionary makers, wedding planners and more were invited to show off their talents for the event. Beginning Oct. 1, Ruth’s Chris in Alpharetta is opening its doors for lunch, a new offering for the restaurant. “Alpharetta is a lunch town,” Lynch said. “We were missing out on a lot of business by not being open. This is the perfect place to have a

business power lunch.” She said the lunch offerings at Ruth’s Chris were “more upscale at a very good price point.” “At the end of the day, these are the people who will continue to visit us,” Lynch said. “We wanted local Alpharetta companies to come see us so that the next event they plan they will do here.” For more about Ruth’s Chris Alpharetta, visit them online at www.RuthsChris.net. The restaurant is located at 11655 Haynes Bridge Road, Alpharetta.

Jacobi 8-year-old Black Belt winner ROSWELL, Ga. - America’s Taekwondo Association held its held semi- annual black belt testing Saturday, Sept. 12 at Blessed Trinity High School. Eight-year-old Taekwondo student Drake Jacobi, was able to compete. Drake had to endure multiple parts of rigorous testing to obtain this highest belt. The first parts of the testing was a timed three mile run, which he completed in twenty eight minutes. After the run, Drake had to correctly complete a fitness test which included 30 push-ups and 50 situps. This portion of his testing also included various kicks and punches which had to be done within 5 minutes. He also had to complete a comprehensive written exam. After the exam, Drake was judged on his Form performance which consisted of 41 sequential moves, two sparring competitions, and had to break two boards. He is one the youngest children to obtain a black belt and pass all areas of testing in the competition. To top it off, Drake got the chance to meet the Grandmaster Soon Ho Lee. Lee leads the world’s largest martial arts organization, the American Taekwondo Association since 1977. —Iabelle Nguyen

Sept. is ‘National Hunger Month’ NFCC seeks food aid

Drake Jacobi poses with Grandmaster Soon Ho Lee. Jacobi recently earned his black belt, making him one of the youngest with the degree.

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 every-

one. 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.

Redistricting meetings set for Roswell elementary schools New Ga. 9 school prompts adjustments for next year By CANDY WAYLOCK candy@appenmediagroup.com ROSWELL, Ga. -- After tabling further discussion and action last spring on revised attendance lines for elementary schools in Roswell, the Fulton County Board of Education will restart the process this fall with two additional community forums on Nov. 5 and Dec. 3. Revised zones are needed in Roswell to populate the new elementary school on Ga. 9 next school year. That school is complete, but is currently the temporary home for Esther Jackson Elementary while the former school building is torn down and rebuilt. Next August, Esther Jackson will return to its permanent home. Last year, system planners attempted to redraw both middle school and elementary lines during one community forum process. While the middle school lines were approved and put into place this year, the elementary lines were tabled until this year after strong pushback from community members. Former school board member Linda Schultz of Roswell questioned the need to adjust lines where none were needed, impacting too many schools and stu-

dents, and asked district planners to take another look at the map. School staff also wanted to wait until choice options for students are finalized by the school board. Those options, which could include Montessori, dual immersion or charter schools, would impact available space at area schools. The redistricting process for the Ga. 9 school will be abbreviated, with only two meetings this year instead of the customary three. Yngrid Huff-Jones, chief planner for Fulton Schools, noted the comments received from last year are still valid and will be used as the starting point moving forward. “We will look to the community for help and guidance in this process,” said Huff-Jones. She said the thousands of comments received during last year’s process are available for review on the system’s website. The same process that has been used since 2000 in redrawing attendance zones will be in place, guided by primary and secondary criteria. Primary criteria includes geographic proximity, instructional capacity and projected enrollment. Jones-Huff said about 70 percent of decisions can be made using primary criteria. But for those 30 percent where the decisions are not clear-cut, planners will look to secondary criteria. Those include traffic patterns, previous rezonings, special programs (such as special

Enrollment exceeds forecast in middle, high schools Elementary schools continue declining trend By CANDY WAYLOCK candy@appenmediagroup.com FULTON COUNTY, Ga. -- Enrollment numbers for the first month of school show system planners were nearly spot on with projections of how many students were enrolled in Fulton Schools, missing the target by less than one percentage point. But digging deeper into the data, wide misses were

seen at a number of area schools. System wide, Fulton Schools projected 96,229 students for the 2015-16 school year. At the 20-day count – the first official census for the year – enrollment was 95,714, a difference of only 515 students from its projections across the district’s 105 schools. But for schools which exceeded projections, such as Milton High School which had 85 more students than expected on opening day, off-mark projections cause disruptions. Additional teachers must be hired, classes are reshuffled and staff

time is focused on placing kids where they need to be. Higher than expected student counts were also seen at Hembree Springs Elementary in Roswell, with 62 more than projected, and at Summit Hill Elementary in Milton which opened its doors to 39 more students than anticipated. On the opposite end, a number of schools had far fewer students than expected, including Barnwell, New Prospect and Manning Oaks elementary schools which opened with 34 to 50 fewer students

Fulton Schools dedicates new North Center Building will host board meetings, teacher training By CANDY WAYLOCK candy@appenmediagroup.com Officials with the Fulton County School System formally opened the system’s North Learning Center on Sept. 8 with a ribbon-cutting ceremony attended by staff, school board members and local dignitaries. The building, located at 450 Northridge Parkway in Sandy Springs, has actually been occupied by Fulton Schools since last spring, but officials waited until all departments had re-

located to the new site for the official dedication. The North Learning Center serves as the North Fulton site for school board meetings, as well as the location for professional development trainings, the FCSTV cable and broadcast studio, and the Central, Northeast and Northwest Learning Community offices. During the opening remarks, Interim Superintendent Kenneth Zeff noted the North Learning Center is one of three new buildings that now house all administrative functions of the Fulton School System. Previously, six buildings served that purpose, but those old buildings were all closed to consolidate the functions into three new buildings,

noted Zeff. “We went from 650,000 square feet in six buildings with an average age of 51 years, to 200,000 square feet in three new buildings, saving the taxpayer nearly $2 million dollars a year,” explained Zeff. “And these are the best kind of savings because we get them each year.” In addition to the North Learning Center, the main Administrative Center opened in March on Powers Ferry Road in Sandy Springs, and the South Learning Center is under construction in South Fulton.

CANDY WAYLOCK/STAFF

Members of the Fulton County Board of Education, administrative staff and construction partners officially opened the school's system's North Learning Center in Sandy Springs during a ribbon cutting ceremony on Sept. 8. The new headquarters building is now centrally located to meet the needs of staff and students across the county.

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.

Thyroid: Continued from Page 28 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

It is NOT all about the hearing aid! Before I can even recommend a brand, let alone a model, I ask questions and get to know you and the type of life you live. Then, after using state-of-the-art diagnostic equipment to get a complete “picture” of your hearing profile, we will together choose your best option. Professional Audiologists and personalized technology make all the difference in getting and keeping you hearing at your very best. However, do not assume that this level of service equates to higher prices on your hearing technology. My patients are pleasantly surprised that device pricing is competitive – even to that of the warehouse clubs. Getting started is easy, painless, and in most cases, covered by insurance! Important - When taking this first step, choose an office that has an “in-network” provider. In this case, all testing is covered by a co-pay at most AND, more and more insurance plans now cover all or part of the cost of hearing devices. Both young and old are sometimes reluctant to consider hearing aids, thinking they might make them look older, weaker or less than normal. But

how well your digestive system is working. No matter what, T3 is another important blood test to consider. The Free T3 and Reverse T3 tests can also provide valuable information. Free T3 appears to correlate best with your functioning. Reverse T3 is a controversial test that is not often done by medical doctors, because it is assumed that your body can convert T4 into T3 without problems. However, holistic

practitioners, and some medical doctors, are now recognizing it as an important test. Reverse T3 is a product created when your body converts T4. It should convert it into T3, but instead it converts it into Reverse T3. This Reverse T3 is useless to your body’s cells, and cannot provide the energy they need, hence the growing diagnosis of Reverse T3 dominance in my practice. 5.

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.

99 YEARS YOUNG:

Man gets second wind, celebrates jazzy life Thanks to 'Second Wind Dreams' By JONATHAN COPSEY jonathan@appenmediagroup.com ROSWELL, Ga. – For Roswell resident Chuck Coe, being 99 years old isn’t so bad. The Indiana native lives in the Elmcroft senior living community off Marietta Highway in Roswell. Several of his children live in the Atlanta area, and, on Sept. 15, he was treated to a 1940s-themed party. Vocalist Amber Brooke performed for Coe. A local singer, her favorite era to perform is the ’40s, perfect for Coe. Dancing and champagne were on the menu for the evening as the residents of Elmcroft were given the chance to cut a rug as photographs of Coe's life were played on a TV in the background. The event was thanks to Second Wind Dreams, a Roswell-based group that doles out wishes from seniors’ bucket lists. “We come into long-term facilities to see the beauty of

our elders,” said P.K. Beville, founder of Second Wind Dreams. “In order to get to know the elders, we get to do something with them as well as for them.” For Coe, his dream was reliving his college days of the 1930s. In those days at Purdue University, Coe headed the campus orchestra, the “Purduvians.” He lived for music, said family members who attended his party. The sax was his main instrument, but he also played the clarinet and the flute. “He has a lot of music in his life,” said Coe's daughter, Carol Sargent, who lives in the Atlanta area. “It was everything. He and mom danced when they first met and the band helped him get through school.” He met his wife, Ruth, at Purdue and the two only separated with Ruth’s death last year. The ’30s were similarly memorable for Ruth, who knew

Coe and Ruth enjoyed square dancing, a hobby they continued as long as they could. He served in France and Belgium during World War II, even playing music for the troops. He developed a fondness for

photography, and had a photo developing studio in his home that he would frequently use. Christmas cards from the family were often personalized. He wondered aloud at his party where so many photographs of him and his youth were found to be shown to the guests. His family had a hand

in that, they said. “Thank you,” said Coe to his guests. “I sure appreciate it.” Coe’s dream to relive his jazzy youth coincided with National Second Wind Dreams Day. Around the country, more

“Suicide continues to be one of the leading causes of death for teens. With social media and the pressures of academics and sports, students today have it much harder than their parents,” according to John Trautwein from the Will-to-Live Foundation. Trautwein lost his son, Will, to suicide and founded the Will-to-Live Foundation to raise awareness and prevent teen suicide by encouraging teens to talk to each other about it. “Your kids do not tell you everything,” Trautwein said. “They don’t and they won’t. But these kids can communicate with each other. They do that with each other better than to us.” Special guest speaker, Joel Feldman, founder of the Casey Feldman Foundation, lost his daughter, Casey, due to a distracted driver. He will

present the Family Safe Driving Agreement and ask parents and teens to take the pledge to end Distracted Driving.

‘Friends’ come together to open barn Library group holds grand opening By JONATHAN COPSEY jonathan@appenmediagroup.com 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 to own the land. It was a farm when they bought it in 1945. T. R. Dinsmore (the “T.R.” stands for Teddy Roosevelt) worked in the brick store that sits at the corner of Crabapple Road and Birmingham Highway. On the original 8.5 acres of property there sat a homestead and two barns. When the county bought the property and a library was built, the barns were torn down. The Friends managed to save some of the wood from the barns and incorporated that into the new structure. The new barn was constructed in large part by City Councilmember and one of the Friends’ founders, Bill Lusk.

Members of the Friends of the Milton Library officially open the new barn, housing books they will sell to fund programming at the library. “This far exceeds what we had hoped,” said Liz Hausmann, county commissioner. “This [barn] is spectacular.” To commemorate the event, the Sons of the American Revolution donated framed copies of the Constitution and the Articles of Confederation. Ice cream and root beer floats were also offered during the opening-day ceremonies. The library and barn are located at 855 Mayfield Road, Milton.

5 fabulous fall fashion trends for 1940...er 2015 By LORI WYNNE ALPHARETTA, Ga. – Finding fresh and fabulous fall trends can be flummoxing, even for designers who create them. Often they find their inspiration from styles or people from the past. I couldn’t help but notice the fall 2015 runway fashions were filled with designs that are reminiscent of styles from the 1940s. Here are some of my favorite fall trends that can be used in 2015: Fur stole: Whether you choose real or faux, a fur stole is a great way to celebrate the fact you survived the steamy hot summer and are ready to embrace the cooler fall temperatures. Fur stoles can be dressed up or down. Wear them with your favorite denim jeans, leather pants or cocktail dress. Look for a comfy sweater with a long fur stole attached down the front for instant on-trend fashion. At the Atlanta Apparel Mart, I saw some wonderful infinity scarves with ombre dyed fur in a neutral blush color that would be a great fashion staple this fall. Fringe: It’s everywhere! On handbags, ponchos, sweater jackets and jewelry. Fringe creates visual interest without adding bulk. While wearing fringe, you can’t help but feel more fluid in your movements. You must include fringe in your wardrobe this season. My personal favorite is the Freya fringe necklace by Stella & Dot. Flounce hems: The designers are listening to the consumers who do not feel comfortable in pencil skirts. Frankly, I think they are bored with creating fashion around this staid wardrobe basic. Flounce hems

are fun and playful, yet the designers have toned them down to be worn with coordinating tailored jackets for work. Look for them in suiting fabrics, tweeds and denim. Faceted jewelry: Bling is back! Get out your grandmother’s brooches, large clip-on earrings and statement necklaces with faceted stones. If you didn’t inherit any from your grandma, check out Stella & Dot’s wonderful choices in updated mixed metals that can be used with any color scheme. Don’t wait for a gala or a night out at the symphony to wear it. Pair it with your casual outfits as well. Fabulous “granny” shoes: Finally, a break from those “hoochie mama” stacked sole heels that no one could wear for any length of time, let alone walk in them properly. The designers Stuart Weitzman, Salvatore Ferragamo and Tory Burch give us plenty of options that are super fashionable and super comfortable. The heels are lower and a “proper” width on pumps and feminine loafers. Your granny would be proud to see you wearing such a sensible shoe. Look for the updated versions in metallic tones and unusual colors to make it your own style in 2015. Final tip: To look seasonally appropriate and comfortable in the fall even if the temperature still feels like summer, wear lightweight fabrics in deeper colors. For example, black or brown linen pants, lightweight silk or polyester flowing blouses in marsala, navy, olive, etc. Put away your thin strappy sandals. Instead, choose sandals with wider straps in darker colors or a peep-toe bootie.

City, Altobeli’s partner in seniors’ dinner & movie City listens to resident’s call for more olderadult programs By HATCHER HURD hatcher@appenmediagroup.com JOHNS CREEK, Ga. — Remember when dinner and a movie meant “date night” and not pizza and HBO? Johns Creek resident Ronnie Koppelman does and she has enlisted the Johns Creek Recreation and Parks Department to help bring back date night for the 62-and-older set. “The city has a lot of activities for older adults at the city’s older adult center Park Place in Newtown Park. But almost all of their events are during the day. There are a lot of older adults who are in full retirement and still working,”

Koppelman said. “I believe there are a large number of people out there who would love a night out, particularly on a Saturday night.” Koppelman went last spring to the Johns Creek Recreation and Parks Department and they agreed to sponsor a Sunday afternoon foreign film festival. Now Koppelman is back for the return of date night with dinner and a movie. She met with Assistant City Manager Kimberly Greer and the owners of Altobeli’s Restaurant & Piano Bar. They have agreed to a dinner and a movie program Saturday, Sept. 26, for residents 62 and older. “We like getting ideas from the public about what they are interested in. We tried a foreign movie festival in the spring and got some results. So we listened and decided to try it with a movie,” Greer said.

Altobeli s will offer a free entrée if one is bought at full price the evening of Sept. 26 to those who produce a flier from Park Place or this article from the newspaper as a token that they plan to attend the movie. The movie is the Indian film, “Monsoon Wedding,” (Rated R), a romantic comedy in English. Koppelman said she was pleased that the city has responded to her request. But then she felt like they should. “They should have programs that appeal to older adults who are still working. And not everyone likes cooking classes or bocce ball,” she said. “I think it is because they are all young in that department. They should have people in their 60s planning for people in their 60s,” Koppelman said. And if they don’t, well, they have Koppelman to give them some good ideas.

If you go What: 62+ Dinner & a Movie Dinner: Altobeli’s Italian Restaurant & Piano Bar, Buy one entrée, second of equal or lesser value free, Good only Saturday, Sept. 26 (62 & older present flier or this article) Movie: “Monsoon Wedding,” A stressed father, a bride-to-be with a secret, a smitten event planner and relatives from around the world create much ado about the preparations for an arranged marriage in India. 7:30 p.m. at Park Place Adult Center, Newtown Park, Johns Creek, Admission free

Wild times at Autrey Mill fundraiser Event uses best assets as backdrop for gala evening By HATCHER HURD hatcher@appenmediagroup.com JOHNS CREEK, Ga. – It was a perfect late-summer evening Sept. 12 for patrons of Wild about Autrey Mill, a fundraiser to benefit the Autrey Mill Nature Preserve & Heritage Center. And more than 100 enjoyed the food, the music and the unique atmosphere. With 46 acres to wander around in, there was more than enough room for everyone. After touring the Summerour House, a 19th century country farmhouse, there was time to look in on the other buildings comprising Heritage Village. Patrons could walk into the old Warsaw Church, sit in the pews of the 1860s church and watch the light play on the original stained-glass windows. The church began as a Moravian campground around 1822. It was moved from its site on Medlock Bridge Road to Heritage Village in 2004 and is the location for the popular Autrey Mill Unplugged concert series. Tickets are still available for the Sept. 26 concert with James Lochar (Dr. Jams), vocalist and equally adept on mandolin, guitar, harmonica and keyboard. Heritage Village also features the G.W. Green Family Store, built in the 1920s. The store was located at the corner of Old Alabama and Buice roads and was moved to Autrey Mill in October 2004. The store operated from the 1920s until 1958, during which time it provided staples as well as a gathering place for

Karen Daniel said the fundraiser was a complete success, not only in terms of raising funds but in introducing new visitors to the site. Don Mairose, former board member and now a member of the Autrey Mill Advisory Board, said the preserve is unique in that, in addition to two miles of hiking trails, it also has ongo-

ing education programs about the flora and fauna native to Georgia, animals on display and a science lab that is interactive for young visitors to use. “The Heritage Village is really the icing for what we have here,” Mairose said. Autrey Mill Director Wade Chandler said the property is a hive of activity almost year-

round. It is especially popular with the Boy Scouts as some 30 Eagle projects are underway on the property. “Autrey Mill touches the community in so many ways with our trails, our history and our science,” said Chandler. “And we are always looking for more ways to serve Johns Creek.”

Library: Continued from Page 1 While some residents wished for the arts center, others warned about choosing this property for it simply because it is available. One teen suggested using the site as a teen center. “This area is shaping up to be the arts area of Alpharetta,” said Wendi Schutt, a member of the city's Recreation and Parks Commission. Neighboring city Roswell has invested heavily in the arts, with its own performing arts center and gallery.

“There is a need for this [arts center],” said resident Loretta Paraguassu. “This can be a safe place to perform. Art does something for the soul but we have to go to Roswell or downtown.” The Alpharetta Police Athletic League asked to be given use of the site for its afterschool programming for needy kids. Temporarily housed in the Milton Center, PAL is looking for a permanent space. A second public meeting will be held in the next few weeks, Perry said, to give members of the community more chances for input. For updates, visit www. alpharetta.ga.us.

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 mentalwellness service providers and resources. We look forward to serving the North Fulton Community,” said Brommet.

deal about the dangers of illegal drugs. But prescribed drugs can be just as dangerous, Olens said. Olens brought a panel of experts with him to help drive home the reality of illicit drug use. Georgia Bureau of Investigation Special Agent Agie George talked about the realities of getting arrested. GBI Chemical Section Manager Deneen Kilcrease explained what the drugs do to the body and their addictive nature. Fulton Superior Court Judge Todd Markle explained that drug use often ends with jail time. In Georgia, one person in 13 is either in jail or on parole. Many of those incarcerated are for drugs or for committing crimes to get money for drugs.

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.”

“Georgia spends more money on its prison system than it does on education,” Markle said. No one sets out to be a drug addict, he said. But ask any addict what his worst decision in a lifetime of bad decisions was and they all say the same thing. “It was doing drugs that first time.” Soon after, it is the drugs that are making the decisions. That was echoed by Eric Miller. He was the most charming speaker, the one to whom the students paid the most attention. He is a recovering addict. He told how drugs slowly took over his life until one day he found the strength to go to Alcoholics Anonymous. Now he lives with his addiction one day at a time. In the end, he realized he knew there were only three choices left: AA, jail or death.

PUBLIC NOTICE

The General Election of the City of Roswell as set forth in O.C.G.A. § 21-2-9 will be held on Tuesday, November 3, 2015 for the election for City Council positions namely: Posts One, Two and Three and Chief Judge of Municipal Court. Polls will be open from 7:00 a.m. until 7:00 p.m. on November 3, 2015. Electors will vote in the same polling place as they do for the county, state and federal elections. Your polling place is shown on the voter’s registration card furnished by Fulton County. Advanced voting will be available at the Roswell Library beginning Monday, October 19 and ending on Friday, October 30, 2015 from 8:00 A.M. to 8:00 P.M with the addition of Saturday, October 25, 2015 from 8:30 A.M. to 5:30 P.M..

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.

Lahkapani: Continued from Page 6 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

than projected—the equivalent of two classrooms of kids. In North Fulton, elementary schools came in nearly 300 students below projection,

possible. Then Wolff was introduced 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, ar-

ranged 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 conditionaluse 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.”

while middle and high schools saw 420 above forecasts. 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 JonesHuff. “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.”
