Former Cumming police sergeant resigns after extortion claims FBI is investigating By KATHLEEN STURGEON Kathleen@appenmediagroup.com CUMMING, Ga. — Amid extortion allegations, a former Cumming Police Department sergeant resigned Sept. 9. Nathan VanBuren submitted a letter of resignation to Chief of Police Casey Tatum Sept. 9, saying he “would like to thank you for the opportunity that has been given to me and the work experience I have gained is irreplaceable.” The investigation began Sept. 3 after Gerald Blackburn, City of Cumming administrator, sent a memo to VanBuren about administrative leave with pay. Blackburn started the letter by saying it was based on the recommendation of Tatum “for the necessity of an internal investigation … in order for investigators to conduct this investigation.” A second memo sent that day from
Tatum to VanBuren was a written notification informing the former sergeant that an allegation of misconduct regarding him “extorting money” had been received. “Since the allegation is potentially criminal,” Tatum said in the letter, “a formal investigation must be conducted by an outside agency.” But on Sept. 4, VanBuren received a third letter informing him of his termination. The letter listed multiple policy violations including duty regarding conduct, conduct unbecoming and buying/selling/receiving/items. The last offense was described as, “buying, receiving or selling anything of value from or to any complainant, suspect, witness, defendant, prisoner or other person involved in any case which has come to the attention of or which arose out of department employment, except as may be specifically authorized by the Chief of Police, is prohibited.” There were also four causes for dis-
Nathan VanBuren ciplinary action listed, including misconduct, conduct reflecting discredit on the city or the employee’s department, acceptance of money or other valuable consideration given with the intent of
influencing the employee in the performance of his/her official duties and improper use of official position for personal profit or advantage. Tatum said in a formal statement the department became aware of alleged misconduct after a citizen stepped forward with concerns earlier in September. “After those complaints were received by our agency, we immediately informed the FBI, who in turn immediately stepped in and began their investigation,” Tatum said. “The Cumming Police Department will continue to provide full cooperation to the FBI as they continue their investigation.” Due to the FBI investigation, Tatum said he could not provide further comment. The FBI also said they could not comment on the investigation. VanBuren could not be reached for comment. VanBuren joined the department in August 2008 and was promoted to sergeant in August 2013.
Community gathers for ‘Lights of Hope’ To celebrate those in addiction, recovery or who have passed By KATHLEEN STURGEON kathleen@appenmediagroup.com

Candles are lit in memory of those who’ve died, those addicted and those in recovery.
CUMMING, Ga. — While addiction is often a taboo topic, a group of mothers in Forsyth County decided to hold a positive, celebratory event. The “Lights of Hope” event was held Sept. 17 on the Forsyth County Courthouse steps. Over 100 people came out to support those currently addicted, those in recovery and those who have died from their addictions.
Mindy Watkins is with The Addict’s Mom national chapter and is also a trainer and distributer for Georgia Overdose Prevention and is a Parent’s Resource Network parent. She said because September is national recovery month, TAM nationwide holds “Lights of Hope” events, including the one in Cumming for the first time. “It is a celebration of those we love and have lost and those still struggling with addiction and those in active recovery,” Watkins said. “It brings awareness and education to the issues because this is a national epidemic. Overdoses are killing at a rate of one every 13 minutes. One

Alcohol is suspected as a factor in the crash. Forsyth County Sheriff’s Office deputies responded to the fatal crash on Ga. 400 northbound between exits 13 and 14 after receiving multiple 911 calls about the wrong way driver. Evidence at the scene showed the

Yo quiero … sleep FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. — A man was arrested recently for driving under the influence of drugs, specifically synthetic narcotics, after he reportedly passed out while waiting in the Taco Bell drivethru off exit 17 on Ga. 400. According to a Forsyth County Sheriff’s report, the 52-year-old man was awakened and reportedly seemed confused and was sweating heavily. He also told officers he put his daughter on the bus that morning.
Traffic stop yields huge drug bust FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. — After being pulled over during a traffic stop Sept. 15, Waylon Franklin, 36, was found in possession of 10 grams of heroin, 7 grams of cocaine and 7 grams of marijuana. Franklin was arrested after an
wrong-way driver, Maria Gonzalez, 21, of Cumming, was driving a Honda Accord while traveling southbound in the northbound lanes on Ga. 400. A Nissan Xterra driven by Ashely Held, 27, also of Cumming, was traveling northbound in the inside lane. Gonzalez died at the scene from injuries sustained in the crash. Gonzalez drove into the path of Held and struck her vehicle head-on just south of North Old Atlanta Road on Ga. 400. The two vehicles rotated and came to rest with Held’s vehicle rolling onto
the driver’s side, causing her to become entrapped in the vehicle. The Forsyth County Fire Department was able to extricate Held from the Xterra. She was turned over to a life flight crew who flew her to Grady Memorial Hospital in Atlanta. Held was in critical condition when transported and is now listed as serious. The crash remains under investigation by the Forsyth County Sheriff’s Office crash investigations unit. There were no passengers in either vehicle.
investigation by the Forsyth County Sheriff’s Office narcotics unit and their uniform patrol deputies. The investigation showed that Franklin was making daily trips to south Atlanta and bringing heroin and FRANKLIN other drugs into Forsyth County to sell to multiple customers. Seizing this heroin takes about 100 doses off the street, according to the Sheriff’s Office. Franklin was charged with possession of a schedule I or II substance with intent to distribute, possession of cocaine with intent to distribute, trafficking, manufacturing of marijuana and three counts of possession of hallucinogens.

Colors of Fall Art Exhibition enriches community for third year CUMMING, Ga. — The Sawnee Association of the Arts (SAA) has announced its third annual Colors of Fall Art Exhibition and sale. The free event will be held Sept. 25 – Oct. 4 at the historic Brannon-Heard House in downtown Cumming. This juried show will boast original works by local and regional artists in various mediums that include painting, drawing, photography, mixed media, pottery, wood working, glass, fiber arts and jewelry. SAA hopes that this week long celebration of the visual arts will provide an engaging and inspirational experience while enhancing arts appreciation throughout the community. “The event will have something of interest for everyone,” said Carla Beasley, co-chair for Colors of Fall. “In addition to the amazing art, there will be a broad range of events guaranteed to delight both aspiring and experienced artists as well as art lovers of all ages.” One of the featured events will be the inaugural Quick Paint Plein Air challenge taking place on Oct. 2. Painters of all mediums will gather throughout downtown Cumming to capture various outdoor scenes and spectators will enjoy watching these paintings come to life before their very eyes! At the conclusion of the Plein air event, prizes will be awarded to the artists and the paintings will be available for purchase. Additional Colors of Fall
events will include a Beginner’s Art Essentials workshop on Sept. 25 hosted by local artist Jeanne Matey of Soulful Art Studios; artist demos, lunch n’ learns and evening ‘Twilight Talks’ during the week, and a dedicated children’s art day on Oct. 3. Kris Straukas, president of the SAA said he hopes the event will spark imaginations and create enthusiasm for the arts. “Colors of Fall is another opportunity for SAA to increase arts awareness within the community,” Straukas said. “We feel that promoting local artists and providing enriching visual arts experiences for the residents of Forsyth County and surrounding communities is extremely important.”

County moves forward with new planning commission By KATHLEEN STURGEON kathleen@appenmediagroup.com FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. — To help alleviate problems around transparency, the Forsyth County Board of Commissioners voted to move forward with the creation of a subarea planning commission for District 2. Brian Tam, Commissioner for District 2, said this item had been previously discussed but was the topic of a special called meeting Sept. 17 due to its importance. A 4-0 vote, with Todd Levent absent, approved the next step of public hearings. The new commission would be comprised of four members plus the District 2 commissioner as chair, and members would be nominated from the district
by the chair. Members will have to be approved by the BOC. Tam would only vote in the case of a tie. This proposal would move the District 2 zoning items to the top of the regular planning comTAM mission meeting agendas. After their items are completed, members of the subarea group will leave to hold a separate meeting to discuss those items. However no official action will be taken. Tam said he has heard from a number of his constituents regarding the county not being transparent enough. He said this will allow for more participation. “We haven’t done anything differently,”
Tam said. “We don’t know if this will fix any transparency issues until we try.” However, some members of the planning commission at the meeting said this undermines their authority and might create a duplication of duties. “This is not something that’s trying to be a bad reflection on the planning commission,” Tam said. “This is something we’ve kicked around for many months. It’s an experiment that expires at the end of next year.” It is anticipated that the District 2 subarea planning commission will be repealed by the BOC on Dec. 31, 2016, or at the conclusion of the comprehensive planning process as the board deems appropriate. The public hearings will be held in October.
GDOT proposals for Ga. 20 corridor presented to public Proposals open to public input and comments By JOE PARKER news@appenmediagroup.com CUMMING, Ga. — Residents eager to learn more about the proposed Ga. 20 corridor, which would run between I-575 in Canton to Ga. 400 in Cumming, were given the chance to learn about the proposals still up for consideration and voice their concerns at Otwell Middle School Sept. 17 during a public information open house. Residents were able to view the proposals that will move to the next phase of screening before an alternative is decided upon. The proposed alternatives were a result of a Screen 2 analysis that cut the number of proposals from eight to two. Alternative 2 would widen Ga. 20 but not create bypasses. Alternative 4 would create a series of localized bypasses along Ga. 20 but would not
include widening Ga. 20. Alternative 2 would widen Ga. 20 to six lanes and allow for a median. According to analysis by the Georgia Department of Transportation, “Widening the existing SR 20 would have significant construction impacts. During construction, access to businesses and residences along the corridor would be hindered.” Some businesses and residences would also be displaced along the highway. The estimated cost of Alternative 2 would be $280 million. Alternative 4 would create bypasses through Canton, Buffington, Macedonia, Lathemtown, Ducktown and Cumming. The Ducktown bypass would begin at Heardsville Road and run through New Harmony Baptist Church, Doc Sams Road and Era Road before rejoining Ga. 20 approximately three-quarters of mile past the Post Road/Tribble Road and Ga. 20 intersection. Four proposed Cumming bypasses are still on the table. The 4F-1 proposed Suwan-
nee Drive bypass would run from Newbury neighborhood and end at Baldridge Road just beyond Ga. 400. Some residences in the Newbury and Adair Park neighborhoods and residences across from Cumming Elementary would be displaced. Another proposal, 4F-2, would begin at Elm Street, pass through Forsyth Central High School, Tribble Gap Road,
Dahlonega Street, Pilgrim Mill Road and end at Bald Ridge Road. Proposal 4F-3, which connects Ga. 20 to Ga. 9, would displace business along the route. Proposal 4F-4 would run south from Pine Lake Drive and meet with Chamblee Gap Road and extend to Ga. 400. Some residences along this

Georgia Emergency Management Agency (GEMA) Public Assistance Grant Specialist Marty Itzkowitz (left) presents reimbursement funds from GEMA and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to Forsyth County Emergency Management Agency Deputy Director Chris Grimes.
Forsyth gets reimbursement from FEMA FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. — Forsyth County recently received reimbursement funds from the Georgia Emergency Management Agency (GEMA) and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) for the county’s response and recovery efforts following the Feb. 16 winter weather event. The funds received totaled $219,645.70 and covered costs related to debris removal, emergency protective measures and damage to public buildings and vehicles. “All of the county departments and divisions who responded during and after the ice storm did a great job,” County Manager Doug Derrer said. ‘The coordination and record keeping done by our emergency management agency resulted in this reimbursement to Forsyth County.’
Following the winter weather event, Forsyth County’s roads and bridges division worked to clear the storm debris that had fallen within the county right of way. A large part of the reimbursement received by the county was to cover the personnel and equipment expenses related to this debris removal. In April, a presidential disaster declaration confirmed Forsyth County was eligible under the FEMA public assistance program to receive reimbursement of certain expenses related to the winter weather event. The Forsyth County Emergency Management Agency worked closely with FEMA to obtain the reimbursement for the county. —Isabelle Nguyen

Northside Hospital-Forsyth receives advanced certification in heart failure FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. — Northside Hospital-Forsyth has earned The Joint Commission’s (TJC) Gold Seal of Approval and the American Heart Association’s (AHA) Heart-Check mark for Advanced Certification in Heart Failure. The Gold Seal of Approval and the HeartCheck mark represent symbols of quality from their respective organizations. Northside Hospital-Forsyth is one of only three hospitals in Georgia, and the only one in Metro Atlanta, to receive Advanced Certification in Heart Failure. “This advanced certification provides us with the opportunity to highlight the exceptional heart failure care Northside Hospital-Forsyth provides,” said Patricia Tyson, director, Northside Hospital Heart and Vascular Institute. “I couldn’t be more proud of our team of physicians, nurses and staff, who continually strive to advance our care even further each and every day.” To receive the two-year Advanced Certification in Heart Failure, Northside HospitalForsyth underwent a rigorous on-site review by TJC experts, who evaluated the hospital’s compliance with diseasespecific care standards as well as with heart failure-specific requirements. The certification recognizes heart failure programs that include either a
hospital-based and hospitalowned outpatient heart failure clinic or have a collaborative relationship with one or more attending cardiology practices. They also must have achieved at least a Bronze level of performance from AJA’s Get With The Guidelines-Heart Failure program and have a comprehensive heart failurefocused program staffed by qualified medical professionals. Earlier in 2015, Northside Hospital-Forsyth received AHA’s Get With The Guidelines Gold Plus Quality Achievement Award for heart failure. In fact, this has been a very successful year for the hospital and its heart and vascular services. Northside has received AHA’s Mission: Lifeline STEMI Receiving Center Gold Level Recognition Award, Get With The Guidelines Silver Plus Quality Achievement Award for stroke, and the ACTION Registry- Get With The Guidelines Gold Performance Achievement Award for quality care in the treatment of acute myocardial infraction patients. In addition, Northside Hospital-Forsyth is a TJC Advanced Primary Stroke Center and an Accredited Chest Pain Center by the Society of Cardiovascular Patient Care. More than an estimated five million Americans suffer from heart failure, a condition
in which the heart can’t pump enough blood to the body’s other organs, according to AHA. Although the heart keeps working, it’s not as effective as it should be. Each year, about 825,000 new cases are diagnosed and more than 275,000 will die of heart failure. However, many patients can lead a full life through a combination of medication and lifestyle changes. Northside Hospital-Forsyth offers a wide range of diagnostic, treatment and support

OPINION
Do millennials really want apartments? Why did no one ever tell me that owning a home was more trouble than renting? Be it painting, tweaking, redoing, mowing and general handyman stuff, there is always something that needs fixing or improving. As annoying as owning a home can be, it is still far better than renting, I think. This is mine and I can do what I like with it. In an apartment, no matter how good it is, I would always be at the mercy of a landlord and fluctuating rents. The popular thought these days is that millennials don’t want to own homes. They want the freedom to move around to the trendy parts of town or the country and enjoy walkability and being generally “with it.” I think there is a disconnect between this thought and reality, however. I would argue millennials really have no choice but to rent. To paraphrase a popular, boot-hat-wearing political candidate, the rent is

too high! With pay low and rent high, these renters are stuck in a cycle of renting with little chance to save up enough for a down payment. Think about it – most millennials are at the beginnings of their careers. Certainly within their first five-10 years (also called “entry level” or “internship level” these days). With rents constantly going up, who can afford them while maintaining that rockin’ social life? As great as places like Alpharetta’s Avalon and Roswell’s Citywalk are, many of their apartments are pricy. I
have not checked recently, but I would wager the majority of renters in these projects are more baby boomers downsizing rather than people in their 20s and early 30s. Apartmentlist.com recently compiled a study of expectations versus reality in renting apartments around the country. What were people looking for and what was available? According to the site, the median rental price for a twobedroom apartment in Atlanta is $1,300 a month, while typical renters are searching for rents of $1,106. This is a 15 percent difference, the report claims. Of course, two of the top cities for cheap rent and high income are Cleveland and Detroit. And who wants to live there? So I would challenge the notion the millennials are more likely to choose renting over owning as a lifestyle choice. Rather, I suggest they have no other choice!
The powerful holding the public accountable The Forsyth County Board of Commissioners recently discussed the possibility of creating a subarea planning commission for District 2. This new group will be at future meetings to help solve problems regarding government transparency. It also may have something to do with the potential creation of a second city called Sharon Springs. This is a great idea. Government officials are often in the spotlight, with reporters and the citizens they govern frequently urging them to be open and honest. But rarely do we ever see that the other way around. Talks about Sharon Springs have gone on for years and will surely continue for many more. With this new commission, the public will have a chance to really step back and access what’s going on in their county. I applaud the Board of Commissioners for taking this step to really give the people what they want. In a world where they are constantly being beaten down and accused of unfairness, board members

entities should follow suit and start creating ways for the general public — the people who voted them into office — to fully understand how, what and why they do what they do. As a member of the media, I appreciate when the government employee I’m working with is clear and straightforward about a topic. I understand not everything needs to or can be out in the open. But since the creation of a second city is such a huge deal, it is great that Forsyth is trying to keep their citizens involved and informed. A few weeks ago a presidential hopeful made a statement that isn’t of the popular opinion and therefore was shunned by a few people. However, when I heard what the candidate said, it just made me like that person a little bit more. I may not always agree with what a politician says or does, but I can respect a government and its employees if they are up front. We all know the old saying that honesty is the best policy, and I believe, for governments, that has never been truer.

We must be doing something right I was contacted by a reader who was not happy that we had printed a letter to the editor that was obviously “wrong” and that, while we certainly should generally offer both points of view, publishing a point of view so obviously wrong was not acceptable in her opinion. The letter was from an obviously well-educated person who took exception to the Kentucky clerk being required to issue marriage certificates to gay couples. His point was a state’s right position and he held that the clerk had every right to not issue certificates even though the Supreme Court ruled it was the law of the land. The reader who called to complain then told me how biased we were at the newspaper. I agreed with her that the letter writer was obviously wrong and the Supreme Court ruling had to be honored. But I also told her I was sure that the person who wrote the letter to the editor believed he was completely correct and who was I to judge. Then today I saw a letter in the Revue & News from someone who was responding to my column on Trump. He shared that the column was a disaster and that nothing said was correct – and he wanted to go point-by-point for my “23 points” and correct each and every one. Plus he said we were such a biased newspaper anyway. Really, the point of my column was that the reason Trump is leading the field for the Republican nomination was that people are so fed up with a government that does not get anything done other than attack the other party – both Democrats and Republicans. There is a very simple reason that the two front-runners in the Republican primary do not hold office. This week’s letter writer went on to say all the problems in Congress are Obama’s and the Democrat’s fault and that “compromise” wasn’t necessarily a good thing. I wanted to point out that it takes both parties to govern so, no, it couldn’t be just one side’s fault. The very act of assigning blame to only one party not only is consistent with what is terribly broken with our Congress but also destroys any possible credibility of the letter writer. That my primary point is supported by poll after poll that show both parties at historical low approval ratings – especially the Republican

party – I am sure is an inconvenient fact that the letter writer would like to, and in fact does, ignore. I think that the writing on the wall is clear. The American people are done with business as usual from Congress. They are done with politicians in both parties who put party as well as their own personal political wellbeing ahead of country. They are done with numbskulls in Congress who tell us that we are not causing global warming and basically destroying the very environment that we live in. They are done with billionaires trying to buy elections. They are done with a Congress that votes down party lines on such vital issues as nuclear treaties and defense, and they are done with a Congress that too often protects big business at the expense of you and me – the middle class and the poor. The American people are done with fossil fuels. They see where our dependence on dirty energy is taking us and they want renewable energy. What part of that is ambiguous? So, yes, I guess we must be doing something right because we are being criticized from both ends of the political spectrum. We’re being accused of being biased because we’re willing to write about both sides of the equation instead of blindly supporting only one side and twisting the facts and distorting them to try to justify the point of view. Unfortunately, we live in a world of “if you’re not with us, you’re against us,” but it didn’t used to be that way and this failed logic and behavior is rapidly losing credence with voters, as we see today. The whole deal with Trump is so clear to me: It is a wake-up call to all elected officials to get their act together, learn to work together as a governing body and get good work done or be removed from office. And if you don’t get that yet, watch Mr. Trump and how he does. That should spell it out for you.

John-Clark Byrd, as Rev. Oglethorpe, helps Sue Lucas, as Ms. Myrtle, onto the stage during a recent rehearsal of ‘Smoke on the Mountain.’
‘Smoke on the Mountain’ returns to Cumming Playhouse CUMMING, Ga. — One of the most beloved musicals to ever grace the Cumming Playhouse stage is returning in October. “Smoke on the Mountain,” the story of a Christian family band making their return to the Gospel music circuit during a Saturday night church singing in 1938, begins its four-week run on Oct. 1. Linda Heard, executive director of the Cumming Playhouse, said ‘Smoke on the Mountain’ was first produced not long after the Cumming Playhouse opened by Playright Productions, a group that has since disbanded after enjoying five sell-out seasons. “This show was one of the first to really put the Cumming Playhouse on the map,” Heard said. “It remains one

GDOT estimates the cost for Alternative 4 would be $356 million. Proposals that included bypasses north and south of Ga. 20, a widening of Ga. 20 and rerouting of Ga. 369, as well as a widening of Ga. 20 and a reroute along Bethelview Road were all dismissed by the Screen 2 analysis and will no longer be considered for implementation. Those in attendance were able to write comments regarding the proposed routes. Karlene Barron of GDOT says public opinion is extremely important to GDOT in analyzing proposed routes. “The public opinion is absolutely critical in this process,” said Barron. “We are excited about the turnout tonight and the turnout for our open house in Ball Ground” which took place Sept. 15. Barron said all proposed routes take into consideration “performance, cost, mobility and safety.” Many in attendance were concerned

We haven’t had a production of ‘Smoke on the Mountain’ for several years now, so I thought it was important to bring this show back to our local stage, given its history at our venue.” ‘Smoke on the Mountain’ runs Thursdays through Sundays, Oct. 1 to Oct. 25 at the Cumming Playhouse, 101 School Street. Thursday, Friday and Saturday performances are at 8 p.m., while Sunday performances begin at 3 p.m. Tickets are $27.50, or $25 for seniors or students, and can be purchased at www.playhousecumming. com or by calling (770) 781-9178.

Cumming resident Jerry Feist said safety is his main concern for the proposals. Feist, who lives in the Newbury neighborhood along Suwanee Drive, said speeding is a major issue along the road. “People come flying through there. There is a telephone pole there right by the road that has been hit six or seven times,” Feist said. “Safety is definitely the main issue for me with these proposals.” GDOT will take public comments until Sept. 28. An interactive website, https://sr20.metroquest.com/, has been launched that will allow visitors to view the proposals and give their input and comments. GDOT will now consider moving the project to a Screen 3 phase which will screen the current proposals and be subjected to a Detailed Environmental Analysis and Documentation. After the DEIS, a “preferred alternative” will be presented to the public. After purchasing right-of-way along the preferred alternative and the final design phase, construction can begin. There is no set timetable for construction to start, though it is predicted it will begin before 2020.

Local American Legion Chapter sponsors Constitutions for students CUMMING, Ga. — In order to increase civic awareness, state school Superintendent Richard Woods and the Georgia Department of Education recently distributed pocket copies of the U.S. Constitution to every fourth grader in Georgia. No tax dollars were used for this project, and in Forsyth County, the constitutions were funded and donated by the American Legion Post 307 in Cumming. On Constitution Day, Sept. 17, each Forsyth County School fourth grader received their own copy of the Constitution, which also includes the Declaration of Independence, the lyrics of the national anthem and the Pledge of Allegiance. Member of the American Legion Post 307 recently visited Midway Elementary to hand out the copies to the students and discuss the importance of this document. “At American Legion Post 307 in Cumming, we recognized the importance of our funding the pocket Constitutions for all 3,500 fourth grade students in Forsyth County public schools,” said Ron Meier, American Legion Post 307 Constitution oratorical chair. “Our Post and American Legion Posts all across the country conduct a high school Oratorical contest based on the Constitution each year to encourage students nearing voting age to become more informed voters and more knowledgeable future government leaders. By providing funding for the elementary schools were able to help even our elementary school students eventually become more informed citizen voters. We’d like to help all our Forsyth County students understand more fully their rights, responsibilities, and duties as citizens as they move ever closer to becoming registered voters.” —Zenzele Price-Richardson

The Forsyth County Master Naturalists celebrate the opening of their new kiosk.
Master Naturalists open first Greenway kiosk By KATHLEEN STURGEON kathleen@appenmediagroup.com FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. — Patrons of the Big Creek Greenway at Fowler Park, 4110 Carolene Way, now have a new place to stop, reflect and learn thanks to the Forsyth County Master Naturalists. The group’s first kiosk learning center project opened Sept. 21. FCMN collected donations, built, stained and
mulched the kiosk themselves, according to FCMN President Jeannie Glisson-Davis. “Our mission is to provide unbiased scientifically accurate information on a wide array of information, including our environment, so our Forsyth County citizens can develop a deeper understanding of the importance of protecting and maintaining our natural ecosystems,” Glisson-Davis said.
KATHLEEN STURGEON/STAFF
Carole Jezek reads about the local natural habitat.
The displays will be part temporary and part rotating with the seasons, she said. FCMN wants people to come by, rest and connect with nature while learning. “It takes a village to protect our green spaces,” GlissonDavis said. “We will have information there for people to learn about which of the native animals and plants we need to protect and how they can help do that on the Greenway and on their own properties.” Another goal of the kiosk is for each passerby to have both a physical and educational experience, she said. Jim Pryor, director of parks and recreation for Forsyth County, helped cut the ribbon. He said although he’s only been with the county for 11 months, he has seen the parks system grow. “We have great citizens that love recreation and that come out and ask for great and diverse facilities,” Pryor said. “We also have Commissioners that listen to people and have found the funding and dedicated resources for what we have, like the Greenway, passive parks and green space. You don’t see that in every community.”

Pryor also pointed out the community partners, including FCMN, that make things like the kiosk happen. “It makes Forsyth County unique,” Pryor said. “I’ve been in a couple different locations where I haven’t had community support. I had to try to beat people down to help out. Here, that doesn’t hap-
pen. People come to us. Thank you for what you do and your involvement. Every time you have something great, everyone wants to be involved and that’s what makes Forsyth County so special.” FCMN plans to open its second kiosk at the Bethelview Road trailhead of the Greenway.

Tracking your win rates Do you keep track of all of the business you win? How about the business you don’t win? When you win or lose business, do you take some time to determine why you had the outcome you did? Tracking your win rates and understanding why you won business or why you lost business will help you in future deals. In order to track your win rates, all of your sales opportunities need to be documented. This can be easily done if you have a customer relationship management (CRM) system, or simply added to an excel spreadsheet if you don’t. Recording information
about each opportunity is also important. In addition to the customer name and what you were trying to sell them, you should include the sales cycle (how long the sales process took), the size of the transaction and why you won or lost. After you have logged this information for a few months, you can begin to analyze the data to determine what you did differently to win business, or what you need to change if you lost business. Maybe you’ll learn that your win rates are higher with smaller deals than bigger deals. Maybe you’ll learn if the sales process is quicker (less days to close

business), that you win more than you lose. Arming yourself with this information and analysis will allow you to make changes to your sales strategies, sales process and the type of sales opportunities you pursue, which in turn will help you improve your win rates.

Local freshman has unique hobby Students buys and sells cars
By KATHLEEN STURGEON Kathleen@appenmediagroup.com FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. — As a freshman at Lambert High School, 14-year-old Logan Trembley might not have his driver’s license yet, but he’s been buying and selling cars for years. Initially, he helped his dad. Now the young entrepreneur manages most of the mechanics of buying and selling vehicles himself. He also works on them in his free time. “I currently have a 1993 Ford Mustang,” Trembley said. “One day I would like to have a DMC-12 DeLorean or even a
Rolls Royce.” Following in his father’s footsteps, Trembley said he became interested in cars after seeing how easy it can be to work on them. “I wanted to start because it was a way for me to educate myself more on the cars themselves,” he said. “My favorite part is meeting the people for the first time because you never know who to expect.” Even though most boys his age are mowing lawns or walking dogs for extra money, Trembley buys and sells vehicles worth thousands of dollars and says he has never lost money on any car deal. He credits some of that success to cleaning up all his vehicles before offering them for sale. “I bought a 1968 Mustang

Four steps to a neater house and more free time Crye-Leike Real Estate Services (NAPSI)—New research by UCLA-affiliated anthropologists found that most American families are overwhelmed by clutter and can’t even find room to park their cars in the garage because of all the stuff they’ve stuffed in there. Fortunately, whether it’s spring-cleaning time or any time, you may not have to spend as much time, effort or money as you may think to get your home clean and uncluttered, if you follow these four simple steps from home organization experts: 1. Get The Kids Involved: Make housecleaning more like a fun challenge. List all the chores that need to be done. Pick the ones that are age appropriate—organizing a bookshelf, hanging things in the closet, fluffing sofa pillows and so on—and write them down on slips of paper or post them on a wall. Roll a pair of dice to see who gets to pick first, and have everyone (parents included) choose a chore. This will give the kids some autonomy and they may be more willing to pitch in. 2. Tackle One Room At A Time: If you haven’t a lot of time to straighten up and clean the whole house, just focus on one room, even one part of a room, per day or per weekend. Keep a list or a chart and check it off as you go. At least something will be clean and you won’t feel overwhelmed. 3. Make Your Appliances Work For You—Not The Other Way Around: A well-organized kitchen and laundry room are easier to keep neat and less daunting to keep clean. One help can be a refrigerator with a separate,
convenient door within a door that’s accessible from both the inside and from the outside with a simple push of a button, such as the LG 4-door double “Door-in-Door” fridge. The design makes it easier to load often-used items, such as snacks, drinks, lunches and more, so you don’t have to stop for very long to fuel up when you need it. The other side provides additional storage space easily accessible via a trigger on the bottom of the door for more convenience and better organization. That means your food stays front and center, while the reduction in cold air loss helps keep it fresher longer. In the laundry room, you can have a dryer with dual-opening options, like the LG EasyLoad dryer, that lets you open the door either hamper style (to easily load in wet clothes from the washer) or by swinging to the side as in traditional front-load machines (to quickly unload clothes into the laundry basket). This makes it easier than ever to both drop in and unload your laundry, saving your back from unnecessary strain. 4. Little By Little, You Can Do A Lot: Break large chores down into smaller ones that are more manageable. Instead of thinking “I have to clean the family room,” think “The books have to be shelved; the floor swept; the table dusted.” Write it all down and cross off each job as it’s done so you can see how much you’ve accomplished.You can find further facts on helpful appliances and electronics online at www.lg.com.

Has the Market Stalled? By KAREN PATE Harry Norman Realtors - Forsyth Hearing that existing home sales have stalled in the month of August? In 2015 vs. 2014, according to the Georgia Association of Realtors, new listings increased by 5.4%. Pending sales were up 25.5% and closed sales were up 11.7%. However inventory levels continue to plague our market with less than 5 months of inventory throughout. The median sales price increased by 7.1% and days on the market remained about 65 days. You may ask then “How is it stalling?” Lawrence Yun, NAR chief economist, says after three straight months of gains home sales in August lost some momentum to close out the summer. “Sales activity was down in many parts of the country last month especially in the South and West – as the persistent summer theme of tight inventory levels likely deterred some buyers,” he said.

Let’s talk about Forsyth County! Most everything is up…with the exception of inventory. Modest numbers albeit but, they are still trending in a positive direction. The number of sales increased by 9% and our volume increased about 10%. Our average sales price for the month of August is about $317,000. Housing inventory up to $450,000 is still between 3-5 months. In case you did not know a big change is coming in the way of our mortgage closing process.

Local author publishes 10th book Terry Dodd’s newest addition is “Mirror Magic” By KATHLEEN STURGEON kathleen@appenmediagroup.com CUMMING, Ga. — Before starting a book, Terry Dodd often creates a fictional resume for his future characters. “If I’m working on a book, I’ve developed these characters in my mind,” Dodd said. “I know these people and what they are and aren’t going to do. So to put down different conflicts and their resolutions is fun.” Dodd, 77, started writing while still working as an
advertising agent, his career of 40 years. “I didn’t transition, I did them together,” said the Cumming resident, who has since retired from advertising. “It was a matter of following my hobby. It’s like therapy to write the books. This has gone hand in hand for whatever work I was doing. I enjoy writing. It’s relaxing to me and it’s not difficult. I love to sit down and know I’m about to start writing about something.” Dodd’s latest novel, “Mirror Magic” is his 10th book since he began writing 20 years ago. This latest addition came from an idea he had years ago. “I was fascinated by advertising mirrors,” Dodd said. “I used to work for a company that manufactured them in
Iowa. I studied them a little and came to understand the silvering process by which the imprint has to be printed backwards so it can be seen through the mirror. When I had this idea for a mystery novel, I just drew on my background and interests and put this together.” Dodd, who writes books in a variety of genres, said his latest is “a mystery novel with

a background of subliminal advertising with a redemptive message. “It’s about creating a mirror with a message that you can’t see but it is there and your brain is registering it outside of awareness. In the end, the tables are turned for the good.” While the advertising theme draws from Dodd’s former career, he said everyone is interested in advertising in one way or another because they’re subjected to it every day. “There has always been that aspect of subliminal messaging,” Dodd said. “This happens to be a step beyond that. Also, looking into a mirror is natural. You can’t walk by a wall mirror without looking. We’re fascinated by what we see.” A description of the book reads, “Looking into a mirror is as natural as breathing. Daily, our image glances back at us in public restroom, fitting

room and corporate lobby, as well as our own homes. What we see – ourselves – never fails to fascinate us. What if, when staring at our own reflections, the mind is able to register more than the visible image?” On average it takes Dodd 21 months to write a book. For “Mirror Magic,” however, he said the manuscript was written over 20 years ago, before he became religious. “I was embarrassed by what I had written because all my other books came after I accepted Christ,” Dodd said. “So I went back and took that baby, and myself, so to speak, to the woodshed and rewrote it.” As with his other nine books, “Mirror Magic” will also be self-published by Dodd. “Mirror Magic” was officially released Sept. 26, but readers can buy it online.

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 wellmanicured 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 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

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, addi-
tional 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. 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

Beyond Rosie: library hosts WWII art exhibit FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. — In partnership with Kennesaw State University’s Museum of History and Holocaust Education, the Post Road Library will host a month-long art exhibit entitled “Beyond Rosie: Women in World War II.” “Rosie the Riveter is an iconic symbol of how women were involved in World War II, but Rosie is just a small part of how women contributed to, and were affected by, the war,” said Laura Bradley, program manager at Forsyth County Public Library. The exhibit includes ten panels that are three feet wide and seven feet tall, all of which will be on display throughout the Post Road Library Oct. 1 to 31 and can be viewed during normal library hours. “Each panel focuses on the everyday realities of social, cultural, and economic conditions in the United States during the period,” Bradley said. “This exhibit offers children, teens and adults an introduc-
tion to the complex stories of women in wartime and will hopefully sharpen their interest in our nation’s history.” The exhibit is accompanied by markers that explain the artwork and concepts presented on each panel, but students or others that want to enhance their understanding of the role of women in the war might like to review the teaching guides for middle- and high-school students prepared by The Museum of History and Holocaust Education at Kennesaw State University. Patrons who want to learn more about their own family’s history or involvement in this and other wars are invited to attend upcoming guest lectures on historical and genealogical topics at each library branch during the month of Oct. as part of the library’s annual fall genealogy series. For more information about the “Beyond Rosie: Women in World War II” exhibit, please visit www.forsythpl.org.

Lights: Continued from Page 1 hundred forty three die a day. Twenty-two million struggle with addition of all substances. We need to have more education, awareness, intervention and prevention, especially within the schools. They need to be in the high schools talking to the kids about the dangers of opiates.” Among those in attendance were girls from Abba house, a Christian addiction recovery ministry for women, and men from Recovery Outfitters. Others included parents from PRN and members of the Forsyth County Drug Awareness Council. A portion of the event included lighting of addition, recovery and memorial candles. Attendees had the option before the event started to write names of those in recovery, addicted or who have passed away to be read during the ceremony. Dori Purks lit the red addiction candle, read a poem about addition and listed over 30 names. Chris Intile, a PRN parent of 23- and 21-year-old heroin addicts, spoke at the event about her children and about being in recovery for eight years. She also lit the white recovery candle and listed over 60 names of those in recovery.

I know this process works, you have to be willing to work it. It is one day at a time and sometimes one hour at a time.” She said she considers herself one of the miracles at the event and said she is happy to say she has seen many miracles in her eight years of recovery. “It’s time to make a change in our community and lives,” Intile said. “Addition is a serious disease whether it’s drug addiction or alcohol.” The black memorial candle was lit by Sherry Richards Ajluni, who read over 60 names in memory. She spoke about her son, Brandon who died in 2010 after struggling with addiction. “I don’t remember ever giving up hope or thinking we wouldn’t pull through it,” Ajluni said. “I worried on nights [my sons] didn’t come home,
but I never gave up hope. Not until one never came home. Brandon, our oldest, loved life and lived in the moment.” Brandon and his brother Ryan started using drugs in high school, she said. They were in and out of treatment centers for years. Brandon had been out of a treatment center for several months and was in college when he started using again. “It didn’t take him long this time to spiral out of control,” Ajluni said. “He started stealing and got in trouble with the law. He knew he was going to go to jail for quite a while this time as he’d been in trouble before. He ultimately made the decision to end his life rather than go to jail. He told us in his letter how much he loved us and how we didn’t deserve all that he put us through.” He gave up hope, Ajluni said. “Hope that he could ever recover,” she said. “We don’t have control over our addicts’ lives or behaviors. But we do have control over how we respond. I’m here to tell you, never give

FELLOWSHIP CHRISTIAN VS. KING’S RIDGE CHRISTIAN PREVIEW:
Paladins looking to bounce back from two close losses Fellowship Christian and King’s Ridge Christian will both be in need of a win when they meet Oct. 2. FCS has won the prior two meetings between the schools. After starting the season 2-0, Fellowship Christian lost two close games to Chattooga and Christian Heritage in the final minutes. Against Chattooga, junior Andrew Minkert’s 4-yard touchdown run gave the Paladins a 23-22 lead with 3:30 to go in the game. A failed 2-point conversion kept the lead at 1. Just 23 seconds later, Chattooga scored what would be the game-winning touchdown, a 49 quarterback keeper. The Paladins were unable to score on the ensuing drive, leading to their first loss of the season. On Sept. 18, the Paladins took on Christian Heritage, who had defeated them in their previous five meetings. After trailing 21-7, FCS tied the game only to have Christian Heritage score 10 unanswered points. The Paladins pulled within 3, scoring a rushing touchdown from Jack Hardin with under five minutes remaining, but the Lions were able to run down the clock, giving the Paladins offense just

seven seconds to score, which they did not. The Paladins will look to bounce back against King’s Ridge, who were winless in their first three games of the season. It will be the first region game of the season for King’s Ridge. The Tigers have struggled on both sides of the ball, averaging 12 points a game on offense while their defense has given up an average of 34 points per game. They will face a Paladins offense that is predicated on moving the ball effectively on the ground. In their last game against Christian Heritage on Sept. 18, Tyler Matthesen, Minkert and Andrew Johnson had over 50 yards rushing each. Quarterback Jack Hardin is averaging over 100 passing yards a game. The experienced Paladins’ defense,
led by linebackers Jackson Pryor, Nick Thompson and Clay Buchweitz, and a sizeable defensive line, will look to stop the Tigers spread offense led by Lambert transfer Reid Martin. But much like last year, where the Tigers went 1-9, the production of the King’s Ridge offense has not been enough this year to overcome their defensive woes. Both teams will be in need of a win, but the Paladins running game should be enough to overpower a lackluster Tigers’ defense. That, combined with an experienced Paladins’ defense facing the struggling offense of King’s Ridge, and the Paladins should secure their third straight victory over the Tigers. Our prediction: Fellowship Christian 36 King’s Ridge Christian 20

Pets of the week
FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. — The face licker in the photo is Stella aka Miranda. She is a 10-month-old Labrador Retriever/American Staffordshire Terrier mix. She was a quick staff favorite at the Forsyth County Humane Society and perhaps is the new class clown. She is great with other dogs and also with cats. Up until recently, Garnet had had a loving family and home until they had to surrender her due to allergies. Her family was so heartbroken to have to give her up, and so is she. The Humane Society is hoping that this kitty’s home with them is just temporary. She loves children and people, and other kitties. Garnet also came to us with a sister, who has been adopted already. This beauty has been declawed. Fill
Hub: Continued from Page 24 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
out an application on Garnet at www.forsythpets.org. Jetta is another kitty who once had a loving home. She was surrendered to the humane Society along with her brother when her owners had to move. Her brother was adopted, and Jetta has still been awaiting her turn. This sweet kitty misses her brother and was often found snuggling with him. Jetta would love to be a part of a family again. Right now she is with a foster family who would be happy to give more information on her by contacting the shelter. Come and meet the kitties at the cat and kitten rooms at the adoption center at 4440 Keith Bridge Road, Cumming. Hours are noon to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Sunday. 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.”

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 and was friends with one of her professors – aviator Amelia Earhart. 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 than 100 dreams were being granted for seniors, thanks to Second Wind Dreams. “We are fulfilling the dreams for seniors,” said Doreen Scascitelli, CEO of Second Wind Dreams. “A lot of dreams have been given. They are given daily around the world.” She said Second Wind Dreams averages 6.5 dreams granted each day for seniors around the globe, “from the simple to sublime.” For more about Second Wind Dreams, visit them at www.secondwind.org.

‘WE’RE NOT GONNA TAKE IT’
Atty. Gen. Olens spreads message to Centennial High School 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 challenges 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 vid-
eographers 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 illicitly, 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

Georgia’s Attorney General Sam Olens address Centennial High School students on the dangers of abusing prescription drugs
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 prescribed 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 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. “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.

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