Schultz steps down after decade on school board By CANDY WAYLOCK candy@appenmediagroup.com

Kids from the youth leadership group C5 Youth Foundation helped with Rivers Alive

FULTON COUNTY, Ga. – Linda Schultz looks back over a decade spent on the Fulton County Board of Education, and realizes the reason that compelled her to run in the first place served as her guiding principal until she stepped down on Sept. 1. It was always about all the students, she said, and not just those who resided within District 1.

Schultz said she came across campaign materials from her first election in 2004 inch which she wrote, “Our greatest challenge facing the school system is raising the achievement of ALL students. We must focus on the individual needs of each student, and give local schools the resources and flexibility to address these needs.” At the time, divisions were apparent in a school system

Rivers Alive helps local waterways Crabapple Fest, events Oct. 3-4 Annual event draws hundreds

By JONATHAN COPSEY jonathan@appenmediagroup.com ALPHARETTA, Ga. – It was a soggy morning Sept. 26 as dozens of young people and other volunteers donned bright vests and gloves to clean up local waterways. The effort in Alpharetta – centered around Rock Mill Park – was part of Rivers Alive, the annual cleanup of local waterways and roadsides. The Greenway was

cleaned of litter, volunteers put down pine straw around trees and landscaping around Rock Mill Park, some built birdhouses and others placed clean water markers at storm drains, said Terry Porter, environmental programs coordinator with Alpharetta. “These are positive reminders and education of how to prevent water pollution,” Porter said. The water markers in particular were organized in local neighborhoods, Porter said. Volunteers placed round plastic stickers on storm drains

A black Crossman air gun, a silver Taurus revolver and a black High Standard Victor pistol were among the guns found. Also in with the weapons was an ornate silver Luger BYF Mauser pistol used in WWII. According to police, this gun was reported missing in 1974 from Fenton, Michigan.

Wrong-way crash on Ga. 400 kills one By KATHLEEN STURGEON kathleen@appenmediagroup.com FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. — One woman was killed and a second is in serious condition after a wrong-way crash occurred around 4 a.m. Sept. 20. 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 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.

186 units of residential planned on 21 acres By JONATHAN COPSEY jonathan@appenmediagroup.com ALPHARETTA. Ga. – A new mixed-use development is planned for Old Milton Parkway across the street from Avalon. A 21-acre tract of land along Old Milton Parkway, bordered on the east by the post office, on the west by Westside Parkway and Avalon, and on the north by Thompson Street, will contain residential, retail and office components. Plans call for 186 units of residential, in a mix of singlefamily homes, apartments and townhomes. Unfortunately for the developer, Old Milton Holdings, the site has extreme topography issues, notably a large depression in the center, requiring tons of infill to level it off. Bob

Cheeley, of Old Milton Holdings, asked the city Sept. 28 to allow him to fast track his land disturbance permit and allow him to take advantage of neighbor Avalon’s construction which requires Avalon to get rid of thousands of square yards of fill. Eric Graves, with the city, said city rules do not allow tree removal and land grading to be done on a site without an LDP. However it does allow grading permits on their own if conditions are met. Graves said working with the developer in this way will save city streets from the hundreds of dump truck-loads needed for the work, if the fill is able to be had from Avalon, across the street. During this work, 100 feet of undisturbed buffer will encircle the site until the next

phase is ready to begin. Council unanimously approved granting a permit to begin the grading work. Also at the meeting: City police will begin working with Fulton County Schools to catch and ticket those who fail to stop for buses carrying children. When a school bus is stopped and either picking up or dropping off children, the bus extends its stop sign and traffic is supposed to stop. Sometimes, drivers willing or accidentally fail to obey this stop sign and drive past, potentially putting children at risk. Now, these buses are to

be fitted with cameras that can catch the license plates of those who break the law. Alpharetta will have an officer review the footage and, if necessary, write tickets based on what they see. “We don’t have a lot of negative experience where children were hit, however we do have a number of violations that occur on a regular basis,” said Public Safety Director Gary George. He expects the officer reviewing the footage to spend about 15 minutes a day on the task, a minimal additional workload. Any revenues from the tickets will be split 50-50 between the city and the school system, he said.

State’s unemployment rate 5.9% in August ATLANTA – The Georgia Department of Labor (GDOL) has announced that the state’s seasonally adjusted unemployment rate in August was 5.9 percent. The rate was 6.0 percent in July. “This is the first time Georgia’s unemployment rate has dropped below six percent since May 2008,” said State Labor Commissioner Mark Butler. “The rate declined as our employers laid off the fewest workers for any month in more than 15 years and continued to create jobs.” Most of the decrease in August was due to a decline in temporary claims filed in manufacturing and administrative and support services, which includes temporary employment agencies. And, over the year, claims were down by 15.4 percent. The decline came mostly in manufacturing. The number of jobs in Georgia increased to 4,260,300 in August, 0.1 percent, from July. The growth came mainly in the construction industry. Over-the-year, the number of jobs in Georgia grew by 2.0 percent. The national job-

Over-the-year, the number of jobs in Georgia grew by 2.0 percent. growth rate was 2.1 percent. Most of the job growth in Georgia came in trade, transportation and warehousing. Georgia’s continuing job growth increases the existing demand for skilled workers. The Georgia Department of Economic Development recently announced that it has received a $3 million federal grant to help address the skills-shortage issue. The grant will fund work-based training programs for 30 companies throughout Georgia who are committed to hiring 400 apprentices. Butler encouraged job seekers to utilize the GDOL’s new job listing service, EmployGeorgia, where employers posted 75,207 jobs throughout the state in August. -Isabelle Nguyen

Study: Quarter of Alpharetta lives in rentals 36% of renters in single-family homes By JONATHAN COPSEY jonathan@appenmediagroup.com ALPHARETTA, Ga. – Rentals have often been seen as a negative when it comes to housing in Alpharetta. With the transient nature of renters, many residents have in the past shared concerns about for-rent neighborhoods – such as apartment complexes – lowering property values and increasing crime. A new study commissioned by the city shows that more than a third of all housing in the city is forrent and many of those are in fact single-family homes, with a quarter of all residents living in rentals. Ken Bleakly of the Bleakly Advisory Group created the study, which looked at all housing options within the city and how their uses have changed over time, largely since 2000. The city has publicly stated its goal is to have a for-sale vs. for-rent ratio of 85:15. That is, 85 percent of all housing should be for-sale, with 15 percent for-rent. In the past this rental number has been

significantly higher (40 percent in 2000) and is on a downward trend, Bleakly said. “The total number of rental units in the city has decreased from 33 percent in 2000 to about 25 percent [today],”

Source: U.S. Census, Decennial and American Community Survey Bleakly told the City Council Sept. 21. This comes as a “significant number” of new housing developments have been added to the city, largely in singlefamily, for-sale neighborhoods. Over the past 13 years, building permits have been issued for single-family homes 72 percent of the time. This does not mean these homes are all for sale, Bleakly said. “A significant portion of your renters don’t live in apartment complexes,” Bleakly reported. How significant is this portion? According to 2013 U.S. Census figures, 36 percent of

all single-family homes in Alpharetta were reportedly being used as rentals. “Everybody equates renters with [apartment] complexes,” Bleakly said. “But in North Fulton, a lot of renters live in single-family homes and townhomes.” These renters tend to be younger – Generation X and millennials – and without children. They pay a premium in rent, often over $1,000 a month, can be new to the area thanks to a new job, and are waiting to buy a home. Bleakly did sound a warning – most of Alpharetta’s established apartment complexes are approaching more than 30

years of age. With a lifespan of about 35 years for a complex, Bleakly said something will need to be done to stop them from becoming overly dilapidated. Council member Jim Gilvin said he was anxious to get back to the 85:15 ratio. “We still have 85:15 in our Comprehensive Plan,” he said. “There is a stated goal in the plan that is very clear. We [should] either support our written goal in the Comprehensive Plan or take it out.” Bleakly suggested instead setting a goal of about 32 percent rentals in the city and cap the number of for-rent developments to be built per year.

Edward Andrews Homes finishes new roundabout Enhancements at intersection of Old Roswell, Old Ellis roads

ATLANTA – Edward Andrews Homes, one of Atlanta’s top custom homebuilders, hosted a ribbon-cutting ceremony following the completion of corridor enhancements the company made to the intersection of Old Roswell Road and Old Ellis Road. Last month Roswell City Councilman Rich Dippolito joined Edward Andrews’s executives and Roswell Department of Transportation officials as the group celebrated the end of the renovation project and enhancements to the intersecting roads, which border the location of Edward Andrews’ upcoming townhome community, Promenade. “The public-private partnership formed between Edward Andrews Homes and the City of Roswell resulted in one of the smoothest road improvement projects I’ve ever seen,” said Edward Andrews President and COO Todd Hager. “We partnered with the City of Roswell to successfully finish the road improvement project in just 28 days, allowing the intersection to re-open ahead of schedule.” He credited the timely completion goes to Vice President of Land Acquisition and Development Kevin Norton, Roswell DOT Project Manager Rob DellRoss and each of their respective team members. “Their hard work and collaboration

ensured that the road improvements were of the highest possible quality and were completed with minimal disruption to area traffic,” Hager. The enhancements comprise 1,600 linear feet of road renovations, including the creation of a traffic roundabout, improved street lighting and the addition of bike lanes, sidewalks and multiuse trails. The upgrades aim to ease traffic flow and complete an appealing streetscape in advance of Promenade’s opening in early 2016. “Once Edward Andrews gained the necessary approvals to move forward with construction, our two teams negotiated these improvements, which were approved by Roswell Mayor Jere Wood and the City Council this past March,” said RDOT Director Steve Acenbrak. “We believe these enhancements will benefit the entire Roswell community as Old Roswell Road is an extremely popular transportation corridor.” Edward Andrews’ Promenade is a luxury townhome community that will offer 344 opportunities to buyers who are looking to reside in the highly ranked Milton High School district. “Given the limited supply of land in the area, buying a brand-new home in Roswell is a rare opportunity,” said Hager. “By building townhomes in such a popular location, we’re able to offer all of the benefits that accompany new construction – including custom design selections, a resort-class clubhouse and pool, tennis courts, and spacious parks – all at a very affordable price range.” —Zenzele Price-Richardson

Masons to serve up annual BBQ ROSWELL, Ga. — The brothers of Roswell Masonic Lodge No. 165 will take to the stove and serve up their annual tradition – Brunswick stew and fresh barbecue. The Masons smoke hams in their kitchen for 24 hours before serving it out to hungry guests and have cauldrons of Brunswick stew bubbling away the night before it is served. While the brothers have traditionally held the feast the

same day as the Roswell Youth Day Parade, they have chosen to break with tradition and hold it as a stand-alone event. Proceeds from the event will benefit the Roswell High School Special Olympics. The Roswell Masonic Lodge Annual BBQ will be Saturday, Oct. 3 from 11 a.m. – 4 p.m. at the Lodge, 1054 Ga. 9, Roswell. Plates are $9 and Brunswick stew can be taken home at $35 per gallon. —Jonathan Copsey

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

...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. have risen above the naysayers and have taken it upon themselves to be open and transparent. I think other government

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.

Rhino Action Fund event to bring awareness to wildlife conservation Event Oct. 1 with Roswell artist By ISABELLE NGUYEN news@appenmediagroup.com ROSWELL, Ga. - The Hagan family is hosting a Rhino Action Fund event Oct. 1 to showcase the art pieces of Roswell resident Larry K. Martin. Chad Hagan, host of the event, called Martin “quite celebrated and a brilliant artist.” Martin, he said, “has a great appreciation and deep knowledge of all things wild and

natural.” Martin, a native of Anniston, Alabama, chose to come to the city of Roswell to share his love of wildlife art because he has a special connection to the city. “I met and was introduced to Dotty Etris (Executive Director of the Roswell Convention and Visitors Bureau) at an event a long time ago and the city itself is beautiful.” Before getting into the field of wildlife painting, Martin worked in tropical medicine. He said he changed careers because he always had a passion

for wildlife. “I still love tropical medicine, but art was something that I’ve always loved,” he said. Wildlife conservation is also something dear to both the Hagan family and Martin. Hagan’s family created the Rhino Action Fund while on a trip to South Africa. “I call it a ‘fund’ because we expect a return … for the betterment of all rhinos and endangered animals,” Hagan said. The hope is that this event will bring greater awareness to wildlife conservation, he said.

The Hagan family will hold this event at their private residence in Roswell, the Whitehall Estate, 10975 Stroup Road, and reservations are required. The event will be from 6 to 9 p.m. Oct. 1 and the dress code is business casual. There will be bidding on

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

high. Seeing few challenges and more advantages than disadvantages with his automotive undertakings, they have also shaped his future career options: Cadillac, Mercedes, Volkswagen or BMW dealer

Baby Boomers Look to Right-size Their Life-style in a Forever Home By EVE JONES Harry Norman Realtors Members of the largest and wealthiest generation on record are looking to make a change in their living arrangements. The Baby-Boomers have a variety of special needs. They may have a nest that is emptying out after raising their children (and maybe even convinced them to move out on their own), have adult children moving back in or may have elderly parents who have a special need for extra care. Whether empty nesting or rearranging their nests, these homeowners are wanting more customized spaces that will carry them into their twilight years. Many builders seem to be missing the mark by still building for families with 2.5 kids, a dog and two Volvos in the garage. Master on the main plans are hard to find and ranches are even rarer. Buyers often

ask, “what gives?” Well, the answer is land is at a premium and those types of plans eat up land. To create the right space, buyers could turn to building a custom home which may involve moving faraway from convenient urbanized areas to find the right lot, but there is another. The imagination part could include transforming basements and attics into usable spaces which may involve adding insulation, creating nicer stairways (or adding an elevator), adding plumbing, windows, etc. Or, converting dens, family rooms or garages into an in-law suite for aging family members. Extra bedrooms could serve as an office, hobby room or home gym. Ranch home bedrooms could be combined to add a second master bedroom to accommodate special needs. Bonus rooms over the garage are back in vogue offering owners a great flex space for an office,

in-law suite, man cave or home gym. Some resales come with a little extra land that could accommodate a small detached bungalow, set apart from the main home and perfect for in-laws or returning adult children. Renovating an older or resale home has great advantages for many reasons. You’re likely to get more land and possibly better building materials than offered by new construction. You’ll have the opportunity to customize the finishes to your taste and needs. Also, budget-wise you can buy a lower priced, under budget, home and pay cash for the upgrades. This kind of home reimagination is not for the faint of heart and will require some help from professionals who have vision. Working with a real estate agent who has a trusted builder and architect on call is key. A seasoned agent can help you identify

the right property and location that will be a wise investment long-term plus work to navigate you through the sale of your current home, resale purchase, and renovation of your new “forever home”. An experienced, full-service, full-

company’s achievements and celebrate new office openings in 2015. New in-house technology and tools are also unveiled for the coming year. In 2014, attendees enjoyed grandstand training sessions by nationally recognized speakers including Lawrence Yun, Chief Economist with the National Association of REALTORS, and real estate trainer Rick DeLuca. Yun shared how

Crye-Leike’s sales are performed above the national average in 2014. DeLuca inspired agents with strategies on how to maintain long-term relationships with their clients. This year, Crye-Leike is saddling up for a Wild West themed exhibition of lead generating techniques with a presentation by nationally recognized real estate trainer Jack O’Connor. Crye-Leike’s own Memphis Marketing Direc-

tor, Christie Jones, and Web Manager, Angie Vandenbergh will provide comprehensive insights on the latest marketing and technology trends. With 20 unique breakout sessions, agents will receive a custom and in-depth education on multiple aspects of lead generation to help increase their sales. After redefining effective techniques and learning many new innovative skills to help buyers and sellers, CryeLeike’s agents will celebrate with fun-filled activities including a talent show, golf and volleyball tournaments, vendor shows, raffle drawings and

relaxing on the smooth Florida beaches. Crye-Leike is a full service real estate company that was founded in 1977 by Harold Crye and Dick Leike.

Four steps to a neater house and more free time (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-inDoor” 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 dualopening 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.

Advantages of buying a home in the fall While the summer months are the most popular time of year to buy or list a home, the real estate market is open 365 days a year. The reason why fall is such a popular time to buy a home is because there are so many benefits associated with the season. If you’re a prospective homebuyer, consider the following perks while hunting for a home this fall. You can enjoy year-end tax breaks. Buying before the year’s out allows fall homebuyers to take advantage of tax breaks such as the mortgage interest and property tax deductions. You can move before inclement weather comes. No one wants to move during the freezing temperatures of winter. Buying a house before winter sets in will give you a better chance of expecting pleasant weather conditions on moving day. You’ll be home for the holidays. Buying in early fall allows you to move without uprooting your kids in the middle of the school year and gives you time to get settled in before the holidays. You will have less com-

petition. With fewer people searching for homes, fall homebuyers can spend less time chasing supply and more time finding – and getting – the perfect home. A fall seller may have a pressing reason for putting their home on the market later in the year, giving buyers more negotiating power. People have spent all summer making improvements to their homes before put-

ting them on the market and after applying some finishing touches in August and September before the temperature drops, homes are ready to go for October. If you are considering buying or selling a home in the fall, take advantage of this great time by contacting an agent at Atlanta Fine Homes Sotheby’s International Realty. We offer professional real estate advice and look forward to helping you achieve your real estate goals! Article adopted from Realtor.com

Holidays are actually a great time to list your property By JANE PATNEAU Atlanta Fine Homes Sotheby’s International Realty While spring and summer are known to be the best time to list a home for sale, there is still good news for home sellers during the holidays. It’s true that many buyers look to purchase a property during the spring, however that doesn’t mean that all the serious homebuyers evaporate starting over the holidays. In fact, it’s a common misconception that it’s harder to sell your property

during the colder months. Although, holidays are hectic for most people, it’s actually a great time to list your property on the market. If you are prepared, putting up your home for sale during the “off season” has its due advantages. Here are a few benefits of selling your home during the holidays. Less Competition from Other Sellers You are not the only homeowner who has considered taking your property off the market during the holidays.

Most sellers don’t want the hassle and decide to wait until springtime to put their homes back on the market. That’s an advantage for you because you will not have to compete with dozens of other sellers. Fewer options mean more buyers checking out your home, either in person or online. Selling Tip: To keep the buyers attention, make sure that your home is staged and is in show condition at all times. Possibly Obtain a Better Offer By marketing and listing

This could be the view from your new home.

your home during the offseason, and when there is less competition you could increase your chances to secure a higher price. While the buyer may have had 20 homes to compare and choose from during summer months, there may only be five homes that fit their requirements in December. Buyers are More Motivated at the Holidays Anyone who takes out time of their hectic holiday schedule to shop for a new home is definitely serious about buying. It’s most likely on a need basis such as tax purpose or relocation that they are on the lookout for a new home. Whatever the reason is, make it easy for such buyers to get a look at your home. Remember, a motivated buyer is a great asset as they may be willing to pay more, close the deal faster, or waive some contingencies. Statistically, interest rates tend to drop during the off season, which is a further encouragement for serious, motivated buyers. Selling Tip: Stay flexible with your showing times and be open for negotiation to close a deal faster. Your Home Looks Great During the Holidays During winter months, homes usually look better. Holiday decor, a roaring fireplace, and the smell of baked cookies in the kitchen all lend your home a warm and cozy feeling. Minimum clutter and tasteful decorations will allow buyers to see themselves and their fami-

lies celebrating the holidays in your home next season. Selling Tip: Create a warm and comfortable environment for buyers. Do not cover up your homes best features with too much holiday decor. Stick to simple and elegant decorations, and make sure to remove them as soon as the holidays are over. Faster Selling Process While all the retail stores and malls may be packed, the holiday season is usually slower for most title, loan, and real estate companies. Historically, November and December are slower months in the mortgage business, so the process may move faster. This could help to process your paperwork faster, which is a great news for both motivated buyer and you. While there are pros and cons of selling at any time of year, if you are serious about putting your home up for sale, then holiday season can be really a great time to list. You may be able to get top dollar for your property in a shorter amount of time and with less hassle and competition. So, what are you waiting for? Bundle up, hang up those lights and get ready to sell with our selling tips. Who knows, marketing your home during the holidays may be your best move yet! Thinking about Selling your Home??

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Emory Saint Joseph’s employees donate $22,000 to NFCC ATLANTA - Emory Saint Joseph’s Hospital employees demonstrated their commitment to those in need by presenting a check for more than $22,000 to the hospital’s 2015 community partner, North Fulton Community Charities (NFCC). For the past several years, the hospital has partnered with a local organization to serve those less fortunate, extending the mission of Emory Saint Joseph’s in the community. NFCC is a non-profit human service agency dedicated to preventing homelessness of individuals residing north of the Chattahoochee River in Fulton County. The agency assists families with basic needs such as food, rent and utilities, clothing and adult education classes during short-term emergencies. “This charity helps bridge the gap for families and is closely aligned with our Mercy Mission at Emory Saint Joseph’s, which is providing compassionate care for those less fortunate,” said Jeanne Landry, vice president of human resources at Emory Saint Joseph’s.

This charity helps bridge the gap for families and is closely aligned with our Mercy Mission at Emory Saint Joseph’s, which is providing compassionate care for those less fortunate.” JEANNE LANDRY Vice president of human resources at Emory Saint Joseph’s

Since January, Emory Saint Joseph’s employees organized many creative fundraisers that were also supported by physicians, patients, visitors and volunteers. Some of these included: yoga classes, line dancing, bake sales, raffle tickets for a quilt and gift baskets, flower sales, a bazaar and a canned good drive for NFCC’s food pantry. Many Emory Saint Joseph’s employees and their families also volunteered at NFCC by working on site at the organization’s food pantry and thrift shop.

Emory Saint Joseph’s administration recognized the many dedicated hospital departments and employees for their significant fundraising efforts during a special ceremony at the hospital. “Emory Saint Joseph’s is so grateful for our employees’ support. The staff has contributed so much of their time and efforts to raise funds for NFCC, and because of their kind spirit and generosity, many families will receive assistance when it is needed most,” said Landry. -Zenzele Price-Richardson

‘Barktober’ costume contest begins ‘Howl-oween’ Event Oct. 3 at Green Bean Exchange ALPHARETTA, Ga. - Wagging tail lovers can get an early taste of Howl-oween. The Green Bean Exchange Antiques and Interiors Mall will host the inaugural Barktober dog costume contest and doggie parade on Oct. 3. “Our store mascots are two adorable mixed rescues, Riley and Rocco,” said Thomas Earle, Green Bean Exchange co-owner. “We love dogs and our customers have asked for something like this for a while, so we thought, what better way to kick off the fall than with our four-legged friends

Schultz: former BOE member looks forward to down time Continued from Page 1 looked at as three separate factions – North Fulton, Sandy Springs and South Fulton – and a global approach was often lacking when it came to decision making. While issues remain, and likely always will, Fulton’s move to becoming a charter system has helped create a school system where decision making is mostly in the hands of parents, communities and local schools. “The decision to become a charter system really changed the mindset of the system to work towards this local flexibility,” said Schultz, who points to that process as what she is most proud as a board member. She stepped down from her board seat on Sept. 1 after moving out of the district, and is now happily settled in her Lake Hartwell home with husband, Dutch, and dog, Bear, where she is enjoying “playing golf, boat rides and travelling.” Schultz said when she ran for re-election three years ago, she had no idea what the next 36 months would have in store, and never imagined not be finishing out her term. “I certainly didn’t anticipate how many changes would happen in our family when I ran for re-election three years ago,” she says, laughing. “It was time to downsize and focus on family with my husband’s retirement and the birth of our first grandchild.” But she knows the board is in good hands, led by the charter-system success and the board’s implementation of a Strategic Plan, which sets focused goals for the system. “It’s easy to get pulled in many directions as a school system – to be reactive to the latest issue or fad,” said Schultz of her support of a Strategic Plan. “However, improving outcomes for our students requires keen, strategic focus on the goal. The increases in

graduation rates reflect this. I would love to be a part of strategic plan number 2.” Over the past decade, she’s seen the system through an expansive construction plan, rising enrollment, the worst economic crisis in decades, several superintendent changes, and technological advances that changed the look and feel of classrooms. “The district has changed in 10 years – we have about 20,000 more students, and our poverty rate has increased from 33 percent to 46 percent,” said Schultz, “Yet, since 2011, our graduation rate has increased [nearly nine percent] to [nearly 79 percent].” Learning is now globally available, with technology options that take learning way outside the walls of the classroom. “In 2005, we had a few desktops in classrooms … iPads didn’t exist, and Facebook just started. Now, students can reach the world on a hand-held device,” said Schultz. “The challenge is no longer finding the information, but how to teach students to analyze the overload of information. And how to use technology responsibly.” Being a school board member is a part-time job with fulltime responsibility, but Schultz said she enjoyed every moment of her time and appreciates the trust the community had to re-elect her three times. While she won’t miss the traffic and time spent driving across a system spanning 78 miles from north to south, she will miss the people. “What I will miss most is the passion and dedication that our staff and community has for our students. This community embraces every child as their own,” said Schultz, whose children are now grown and living in Alabama and Utah. And as for advice for the person who will soon fill her seat, Schultz says simply, “Listen and seek to understand.”

School board to fill vacant District 1 seat in October Appointed member to serve till term expires in Dec. 2016 The Fulton Board of Education is expected to fill the vacant seat in District 1 in October to serve out the remaining 14 months of the four-year term. The vacancy was created by the resignation of Linda Schultz, who stepped down Sept. 1 after moving out of the district. The Fulton Board accepted resumes and letters of applications from District 1 residents interested in filling the board seat, and is now conducting interviews with applicants. “The board will interview potential candidates and make a selection,” explained

Susan Hale, spokesperson for Fulton Schools. “Fulfilling the term, however, does not guarantee the candidate a future seat on the school board as they must still qualify with the Secretary of State’s office and run for election.” Schultz’s term ends Dec. 31, 2016, but the election to the nonpartisan seat has not yet been set by the state. Schultz was first elected to the school board in 2005 and has twice won re-election. District 1 includes parts of Alpharetta and Roswell. Board members are required to live within the district they serve in order to maintain membership on the Board of Education.

Porter said many residents are not aware that such drains do not go into a sewer system. “Little Indian and Foe Killer creeks both have bacteria problems that are caused by runoff,” Porter said. “We can do something about it.” About 120 volunteers gave their time Saturday morning in Alpharetta. A large contingent came from C5 Youth Foundation, a youth leadership nonprofit. Rivers Alive is an annual

The annual Georgia Waterway Cleanup is one of the largest volunteer efforts to beautify Georgia’s water resources. Georgia has more than 70,100 miles of rivers and streams that need help to stay clean. Individuals, neighborhoods, Scout troops, schools, churches, clubs and service organizations are asked each year to pull together to make a difference for the Chattahoochee River and its tributaries.

Milton Cross Country defends titles MILTON, Ga. - On their home course, the Eagles of Milton won their sixth straight “Best Overall Program Award” Sept. 19 in cross country as Milton won five out of six team races and had race winners in four out of six individual races. Varsity Boys: The defending champions, Eagles of Milton (1st-28 pts), were an easy winner dispatching 12 scoring schools. Senior and defending champion Jack Bluth (1st -17:08) took down the course record by 22 seconds going wire-to-wire for the easy win. Milton sophomore Sam Bowers (2nd -17:32) passed Cambridge senior Bjorn Leicher during the 2nd mile to earn the runner-up spot and become the 3rd fastest performer ever on the Milton course. The Eagles depth of putting all seven of their runners in the top-14 was too much for any school to counter. Varsity Girls: The Lady Eagles (ranked 4th All-Class & 3rd in 6A) took on their toughest field to date and came away with their second-

straight runner-up finish (2nd-72 pts). Defending champions Northview (1st-57 pts) ranked 7th All-Class, were able to fend-off Milton and Lovett (3rd-84 pts), who was ranked 3rd AllClass. Landmark Christian (5th-139 pts), ranked 1st in 1A put up a tough fight upfront but were not able to match the power of the larger schools. Senior captain Riley Burr (6th20:50) ran the 3rd-fastest Milton time ever on the course to lead the Lady Eagles. Unique to this meet is this team award given to the best school program based on their team finishes in all 6-races contested at the county meet. The Eagles of Milton (1-18 pts) were a clear winner after winning 5 of the 6 races contested. Both Blessed Trinity and Northview had 6 points to finish in a tie for 2nd.

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

Turnovers cost Mount Pisgah region-opening game Patriots fall to Christian Heritage 27-20 By JOE PARKER news@appenmediagroup.com JOHNS CREEK, Ga. — Two fumbles and two interceptions, three of which were within Christian Heritage’s 25-yard line, proved to be too much for the Patriots of Mount Pisgah to overcome as they were defeated by Christian Heritage 27-20 in the Patriots’ Region A-6B opener. It was only the second region loss for Mount Pisgah since Head Coach Mike Forester took over the team in 2013. As Mount Pisgah looked to tie the game at 27 with just over four minutes remaining, Patriots’ quarterback Connor Norwood threw an interception at the Lions’ 25-yard line. Christian Heritage’s ensuing drive, which included a fourthdown conversion at their own 45, would run out the clock and seal the victory. Though Norwood’s interception proved to be the final blow to the Patriots, two fumbles inside the red zone greatly hurt their chances earlier in the game. Senior running back JR Cendoya fumbled at the goal line early in the second quarter with the Patriots trailing 13-6. Later in the second quarter, Cendoya would fumble again inside the 10-yard line on a

first-and-goal run from the 7-yard line. Once again, at the time of the fumble the Patriots trailed by 7, 20-13. After the fumble, Christian Heritage ate up nearly eight minutes of clock, converting many third-down conversions along the way, and scored on a 1-yard rushing touchdown from Ahmaad Tanner to extend their lead to 27-13. As emotions ran high, things began to get scrappy on the field. Mount Pisgah would be called for a personal foul on the ensuing kickoff and Christian Heritage would be called for two personal fouls during the Patriots’ drive. With 8:10 remaining in the fourth, Mount Pisgah would score on a 1-yard rush by sophomore quarterback Jacob Cendoya. Cendoya played a few snaps under center but senior Connor Norwood took over the starting job for the game. The Patriots struggled to stop Christian Heritage quarterback Tyson Cooper, who proved to be a threat both on the ground and through the air, until they were able to stop a Lions drive and force a punt with just under five minutes remaining in the game. The Patriots took over at their own 15 and Norwood would find Jacob Cendoya

through the air for a 65-yard gain to the Lions’ 18-yard line on the first play of the drive. Two plays later, Norwood would be picked off by Christian Heritage cornerback Patterson Beene at the 25-yard line and end the Patriots’ hope of a comeback. The Patriots found themselves down 13-0 in the first quarter. JR Cendoya brought the Patriots within 7 with a 4-yard rushing touchdown with 2:54 remaining in the first quarter. Both the Patriots and Lions missed PATs in the game on the slick field. The loss is the Patriots’ third of the season, dropping them to 1-3 on the season.

Fulton Commissioner Ellis gives county 2015 highlights Since January, it has been my privilege to serve as your District 2 Commissioner on the Fulton County Board of Commissioners. I am pleased to update you on the significant progress being made to improve Fulton County government. During my first eight months, the board has taken decisive action to address a number of key issues. In January, the commission finalized the county’s 2015 budget. My colleagues and I engaged in a collaborative discussion and were successful in developing a budget framework that provided for greater fiscal responsibility, taxpayer relief and service delivery improvement. Our efforts resulted in an Alternative Fund Budget that I presented which was unanimously approved by the board, marking the first unanimous approval for our county’s spending plan since 1991. In addition, my resolution to double the county’s minimum fund balance (rainy-day fund) from one month to two months of operational cost reserves for the general fund was approved by the commission. This change provides a significantly improved financial foundation for the county. One of the most noteworthy actions taken by the board of commissioners was a significant 2015 property tax reduction. I presented a proposal in July, which was approved in a 5-2 vote, to decrease the 2015 general fund property tax millage rate by 10.9%. I will continue to strive to reduce the financial burden of the taxpayers of Fulton County and anticipate having the opportunity to address an additional property tax millage rate reduction in 2016. Another critical decision made by the board was the selection of a new county manager, who leads and manages our day-to-day operations. In March, the board voted unanimously to appoint Richard “Dick” Anderson as Fulton county manager. Dick brings to the position an extensive career in executive leadership in both the public and private sectors, including serving as vice chairman of BellSouth as well as the chief operating officer of the Federal Reserve System. He has been quickly assembling a strong management team that is making a positive difference for the county. During April, the board

along with the county manager began a strategic planning process and the outcome of that process is a longer-range strategic effort which focuses on efficiency, service and impact. We have made significant progress in the area of efficiency, primarily in centralizing government services. Fulton County has 38 departments, and certain functions have historically been duplicated in the finance, purchasing, information technology, and personnel departments. By streamlining delivery, we can reduce staff and improve service to both internal and external clients. The partial first-year savings for taxpayers is estimated to be $800,000. Satisfying this objective is continuous and long term and will result in additional savings and improved service in coming years. I would also highlight that we opened three new Fulton County libraries in North Fulton this year, one each in Roswell, Milton and Alpharetta. Each facility is state-ofthe-art and provides citizens with convenient locations and expanded services. In conjunction with opening the library in Alpharetta in the new Alpharetta city center, Fulton County transferred the old Alpharetta library to the city, which will begin repurposing the facility so it can be employed for future public use. The old and new Alpharetta Libraries represent a great collaboration between the county and the city. Earlier in the year, Fulton County also completed the transfer of Providence Park, a previously closed county park, to the city of Milton. The city is preparing the park for reopening and it will soon offer enhanced recreational opportunities for our communities. I’m honored to have the opportunity to represent District 2 and will continue to seek to effectively communicate with and serve the residents of Fulton County. I welcome your feedback, questions or concerns and you can reach me at bob.ellis@fultoncountyga.gov, or by calling my office; 404-612-8216.

Blotter: Continued from Page 3 thousand dollars in cash after his wallet was stolen Sept. 14. The victim told police he was at the Shell gas station on North Main Street, filling up. That was the last time he saw his wallet, he told police. He returned to work and noticed his wallet was gone. In the wallet were several credit cards and $4,000 cash.

$2,700 ring misplaced ALPHARETTA, Ga. – A $2,700 ring was found missing from an Alpharetta home Sept. 16. The victim told police he bought the ring as an anniversary present for his wife. It is a silver band with diamonds on it. His wife wore the ring that day when she received it, then took it off and placed it on a bathroom sink when she went to bed. The following day, the home had contractors in to do work. When the wife went to put on the ring, it was missing. The contractors denied having the ring and it was not found on them.

CADNET ADS

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

The Original Pancake House turns your breakfast into an event that helps you get through the week – something that you can look forward to and enjoy instead of just having a meal. Enjoy our various breakfast courses, ranging from sausage and eggs to french crepes. All made from scratch. All fresh. All indulgently delicious.
