Refractive Lens Exchange

By Cameron Johnson, MD Cataract & Refractive Surgeon

Many people have dreamed about reducing their dependence on glasses, but the best procedure to accomplish this can change as they age. For patients younger than the early or mid-40’s, LASIK can often be the best choice. It is a procedure that is performed on the surface of the eye and therefore is less invasive and often less expensive than other procedures. However, in the mid 40’s, and the 50’s the natural lens in the eye undergoes changes that can make Refractive Lens Exchange a more logical choice for middle aged patients.

Long before the natural lens becomes a cloudy “cataract,” that is considered medically necessary to remove in a procedure that is covered by insurance companies, it is slowly becoming thicker, less flexible, and less clear. These changes, known as dysfunctional lens syndrome, can cause trouble with focusing for near vision, and create imperfections in the visual system called aberrations, that lead to increased glare and decreased quality of vision. Today’s patients can be bothered by this degradation of vision, even if insurance companies do not consider it severe enough to warrant paying for surgery to correct it. Also, if a patient in this age range is corrected to see clearly in the distance with LASIK, they will still need glasses for reading. Additionally, for patients that are getting closer to the age where they will require cataract surgery, having had LASIK causes the calculations for the power of the artificial lens inserted during cataract surgery to become less accurate. Ironically, these patients, for whom spectacle independence is very important, are more likely to need glasses for both near and distance after cataract surgery than patients who haven’t had LASIK. For these reasons, it may be in these older patients’ best interest to consider a different path to spectacle independence. One of these options is Refractive Lens Exchange. This procedure has the same steps as cataract surgery, including removal of the human lens and replacement with an artificial lens. The power of the artificial lens is selected to minimize the patient’s dependence on glasses. With a monofocal lens, patients can choose either near or distance vision. But with a multifocal lens, patients can achieve both near and distance vision. Your eye doctor can discuss if you would be a candidate for this type of lens.

There are some risks to Refractive Lens Exchange that are greater than the risks associated with LASIK since LASIK is performed on the surface of the eye and Refractive Lens Exchange is a procedure that is performed inside the eye. These risks include intraocular infection, retinal tear or detachment, and swelling of the retina. Additionally, the cost of Refractive Lens Exchange with a multifocal lens is generally higher than the cost for LASIK. It can be especially advantageous for patients with far sightedness to consider refractive lens exchange as LASIK is often less accurate and can only treat lower amounts of this condition. It is a less attractive option for patients with high amounts of near sightedness, as these patients are at higher risk of retinal detachment after Refractive Lens Exchange than far sighted patients, or patient with lower amounts of near sightedness.

A significant advantage of Refractive Lens Exchange for patients is that they will no longer need cataract surgery in the future. Barring development of other eye disease, there is the potential of life long good vision without glasses. This has significant appeal for patients who do not want to have LASIK, only to need another procedure 10 or 15 years later.

Additionally, for patients with glaucoma or elevated intraocular pressure, refractive lens exchange has the added effect of lowering intraocular pressure.

WET BASEMENT?

MILTON, Ga. — Milton residents and those commuting through Downtown Crabapple got their first look at what could be a major traffic improvement last Thursday at a public information meeting. The city presented its first conceptual plan for the Mayfield Rod and Charlotte Drive roundabout and its proposed connection with the roundabout under construction along Birmingham Highway, dubbed the northeast connector.

The concept plan calls for a single lane roundabout at the intersection of Mayfield Road and Charlotte Drive. The route would then extend northwest to the roundabout at Birmingham Highway and McFarlin Road. Eight-foot wide sidewalks would be separated from the road by a six-foot wide grass buffer and run throughout the route.

According to a traffic study, the Charlotte Drive extension could cut the number of drivers turning left from Birmingham Highway to Mayfield Road by 30 percent during the morning rush hour. It is also projected to cut those turning left from Charlotte Drive onto Mayfield Road, then right on Birmingham Highway by 60 percent. There is also expected to be a 40 percent decrease in the number of drivers making a right turn onto Birmingham Road from Mayfield Road during peak times in the morning.

Mayfield Road roundabout takes shape

The area shaded in blue represents the projected northeast corridor which includes a roundabout at Mayfield Road and Charlotte Drive and extends Charlotte to Birmingham Highway.

To take the online survey, visit www. surveymonkey.com/r/ NECrabapple. neer, said the feedback at the meeting was “all positive,” even with the proposed plan affecting seven privately-owned parcels.

Leaders said the property owners have presented conceptual layouts for the roadway through their parcels.

The owner and city staff have worked together to develop the plan “so that everything works together,” Leaders said.

The concept plan calls for on-street parking near Birmingham Road, but the amount will be dictated by the city working with the property owners in

that section of the roadway.

It’s still up in the air as to when drivers could reap the benefits of the plan because right-of-way acquisition can take time.

“We want to move it along as quickly as possible but there are a few unknowns,” Leaders said.

The project was first conceptualized in a Crabapple future plan in 2009 and was most recently included in the city’s Downtown Crabapple Placemaking Plan which was approved in May. Residents were able to provide comments on the project at last week’s meeting, and the city is also providing an online survey. Leaders said the city will be open to public comment for “a few weeks” before presenting the plan in a City Council work session.

After gathering City Council input, the city will draw up a final plan.

MILTON, Ga. — The City Council approved the ad valorem tax rate for fiscal year 2017 at Monday’s meeting with a slight variance from what residents have seen since the city’s incorporation.

The city’s maintenance and operating millage rate remained at 4.731 mills, the same amount the city has held for 10 years.

But added to this year’s rate is a 0.321 mill increase due to the city’s Greenspace Bond, which brings the total to rate to 5.052.

The addition is to pay off $732,000 worth of interest for the bond. Stacey Inglis, assistant city manager, said this year’s payment for the general obligation bond is interest only, and that the millage rate for the bond will increase next year.

In other action, the City Council also approved Von Lakes Estates, a 12lot subdivision along Freemanville Road and Nix Road which was submitted prior to changes to the city’s codes.

Three of the lots run along Nix, which is a gravel road. A prior Milton regulation stated that properties along gravel roads must adhere to a 3-acre lot

The dual frontage allowance was removed from the city’s codes earlier this year but Von Lake Estates’ application

was submitted prior to that language being deleted.

The subdivision calls for two entrances.

The entrance along Freemanville, which is paved, will include a cul-desac for nine lots. The three lots along Nix Road will have a separate entrance.

Von Lake Estates totals 16.2 acres at .74 lots per acre.

I’ve heard it a hundred times.

“Print is dying.”

When asked what I do, or even when they already are aware of my profession, friends, family, acquainKATHLEEN STURGEON tances and strangers alike consisEditor kathleen@appenmediagroup.com tently write off newspapers probably because our world is so computerdriven and obsessed with the internet.

And recently, the “war on ‘fake news’” has caused even more strife in my industry.

So without propagating even more negative news, I’d like to shine a light on why what we do in this very newspaper is so critical to the wellbeing of our community.

If you didn’t know, and you probably didn’t unless you’re a newspaper nerd like me, the first week in October is National Newspaper Week.

Not only is this my favorite month because I love pumpkin spice flavored everything, the weather finally takes a break from the heat and Halloween is one of my favorite holidays.

But to make it even better, we kick off the month celebrating all the reasons why newspapers are important, and yes, still relevant.

National newspapers have a tough job reporting information from all over the world and from our own capital. I don’t envy them, even if what they do is so important.

But when the papers become more localized is when the news is imperative.

At Appen Media, we cover everything that goes on in North Fulton and Forsyth counties. We attend town halls, sit through hours-long commission/ council meetings and show up at ribbon cuttings of new parks.

We like to bring you the real news

Approval Expires 08.28.2018

Boo

Real news delivered locally If you didn’t know, and you probably didn’t unless you’re a newspaper nerd like me, the first week in October is National Newspaper Week. that will directly impact your life and your future, often providing happy, positive and uplifting stories from your neighbors.

Sure, we may not be talking about possibly life-changing issues such as nuclear missiles or health care reform.

But when we write about a school rezoning, a tax increase or a scandal at the mayor’s office, these things will change your day-to-day life.

That’s why I love local journalism so much. I enjoy being able to drive down the road and meet the people I’m interviewing. I get to hear and see what they’re telling me about. After meetings, I can go up to the people in charge and ask them questions face-to-face.

And because we have the personal connection, there is no room for “fake news” in our newsroom. Don’t think that stops people from accusing us of it from time to time.

But I can tell you without hesitation, we do our very best to get the full story accurately, because chances are, what we’re writing about will affect our lives, too.

So not only do we have a job to do by being genuine, but we owe it to our readers and ourselves to get the full story.

Most of our newsroom attended a press institute last week where we heard from Georgia journalists about how to survive through the constant berating of our colleagues.

The point was made that it seems many who consume news now only want to listen to stations/papers/channels that reinforce their preconceived ideas.

But the good thing about being on the local level is we have the platform to be unbiased and tell you the good, and sometimes bad, news.

So whether you agree with our writing or think we have an “agenda,” the good news is you’re reading it and hopefully taking in all sides of a story, just like we do every day.

OPINION

Sound of the surf makes beach music to my ears If anyone with a news tip had trouble contacting me recently, let me offer my apologies. News is the coin of the realm in my world, and I am always ready to listen. But I was absent my post HATCHER HURD lo nigh on to nine Executive Editor days for some much hatcher@appenmediagroup.com needed R&R. Yes, My Lady Wife and I took some vacation leave along with my sisterin-law Kevin Ann and her husband, Tom, to seek out the sunny Gulf Coast.

We enjoy going in September because the college kids are all back in school, the snow birds from Canada have not migrated south for the winter, and thus we have a reasonably uncluttered beach to enjoy all to ourselves.

We have done this for several years now. We like the time of year because it is seldom stultifyingly hot, merely warm enough to appreciate the shade of an umbrella sturdily anchored in the sand.

We are fortunate in that we always go to the gulf side of the Sunshine State and it was the part that was mercifully spared the season’s two hurricanes.

Indeed, most days there was scarcely any surf at all, just a smooth glassy expanse what looked like an endless lake.

Each morning, we would trek with beach paraphernalia in hand to stake out our plot of sand – or table by the pool. We enjoy both. Each day more or less unfolds as our whims shape the geography of the day.

We do have something of a to-do list – restaurants we want to try – or revisit – Tom wants a day of fishing. I want ample time to crawl into that book I had been saving especially for this trip.

Editor’s note: I finished all of two chapters. Where does the time go?

We are a gaming crew. Many mornings are spent shuffling domino tiles or playing golf.

Other than the fact that there is always a frosty beverage nearby, it is played using two decks of cards rather than clubs and we sit at a table. It has nothing to do with that game of the same name that involves chasing a small white ball.

As I said, we spend a good deal of our time choosing which restaurants we want to indulge in. We think a lot about food actually. The two sisters, neé Everest, grew up in a large family and love to cook for as much as I love to eat.

We do have something of a todo list – restaurants we want to try – or revisit – Tom wants a day of fishing. I want ample time to crawl into that book I had been saving especially for this trip.

Often we were faced with the dilemma of having to choose between eating out or sampling the gourmet recipes of My Lady Wife or Kevin Ann. Like as not, Tom and I would gallantly forgo eating out to allow one of our wives to whip up some new confection in the oven to our gustatory delight.

When the third Everest sister, Kim, joined us on Day Six of our sandy stay, we abandoned eating dinner out altogether (all the Everest clan of the female persuasion love to cook) and relegated local eateries to serving us the occasional breakfast or lunch.

So the days pass, with gentle breezes coming off the salt water and I am beguiled by the siren sound of the gentle surf lapping at the shore. I am living life in three-quarter time and scarcely noting the twittering of newscasts (or presidents for that matter).

Politics is deemed a gauche subject for the beach anyway. And Washington is far away, physically and spiritually.

Somehow the car found an “oldies” radio station all by itself. And everywhere we went – if we could be so stirred – the radio filled my ears with the sounds of my youth and beach trips long past.

Alas, all such reveries must end and I again find myself at my computer answering emails and delving into local campaign races.

Yes it is business – which is to say politics – as usual.

But pardon me if there is no hop in my step. If my attention may seem to wander, pay it no mind. If I have a faraway look in my eye, pay it no mind.

It is only beach lag.

Fulton’s graduation rate highest among area’s large school systems Rate still falls below strategic goal of 90%

By CANDY WAYLOCK candy@appenmediagroup.com NORTH FULTON, Ga. – The graduation rate for Fulton County Schools continues its upward trend, with the Class of 2017 posting a graduation rate of nearly 87 percent.

While that figure is the highest graduation rate among large systems in metro Atlanta, it still falls short of Fulton’s five-year strategic goal to reach a 90 percent graduation rate by 2017.

“While the district did not reach the 90 percent goal for all schools, overall we experienced extraordinary progress in all areas of the county. Over five years, the district’s graduation rate increased more than 11 percent – from 75.5 percent to 86.8 percent – and in North Fulton, nearly every high school improved and exceeded the 90 percent goal,” said Susan Hale, spokesperson for Fulton Schools.

Of the system’s 19 high schools, 12 reached the 90 percent goal, including all eight traditional high schools in North Fulton.

Cambridge and Chattahoochee high schools posted the system’s highest graduation rates of just over 98 percent for the Class of 2017. Following close behind were Northview (96.8) and Johns Creek (96.5) high schools.

Statewide, the push to increase

Blotter: Continued from Page 2 gift cards valued at $800.

The 28-year-old man was at the Walmart on Peachtree Parkway Sept.

18 when he used a coupon for $50 off an item through Walmart’s Savings Catcher program.

He used it to buy 16 iTunes gift cards valued at $50 each.

A loss prevention associate came over to the man while he was checking out at a self-service register. He was told he was using a fake coupon to purchase the gift cards, but the customer said he didn’t know it was fake.

The Walmart employee said this is a problem many of their stores have encountered because the coupon was fraudulently created and they haven’t been able to figure out how to guard against it.

The man was not arrested and the gift cards were cancelled and the money returned.

Georgia’s previously lackluster graduation rates seems to be working. In the past five years, statewide rates have gone from just under 70 percent to nearly 81 percent this year, the first time in Georgia’s history that graduation rates have exceeded 80 percent.

“It’s wonderful to see Georgia’s graduation rate continue to rise because we’re not just talking about data points,” said State School Superintendent Richard Woods. “We’re talking about individual students who are moving on, ready and prepared, to their next phase of life.”

He noted the push toward personalizing education for each student, and moving away from a standard approach, has been the key to keeping students motivated and in school.

In Fulton, the move to personalized learning has long been a focus of the curriculum, with students being allowed to move ahead to more challenging courses when ready, and additional support available for those less prepared. System officials said they are also aware that not every student takes the same path after high school graduation.

“We continue to be immensely proud of our schools in everything they do to help students cross the finish line,” said Fulton Schools Superintendent Jeff Rose. “Our goal is every student will complete high school and earn a diploma so they can be prepared for post-secondary success, as a college student, a skilled member of the work-

This is the seventh year Georgia school systems have calculated the graduation rate using the standard now required by the U.S. Department of Education. The formula now begins tracking each student when they first enter high school as a freshman, and whether they graduate within four years. In the past, graduation rates included students who took more than

four years to graduate, and did not account for transfers and dropouts.

Woods noted that while all states use the same calculation, each state sets its own requirements for students to earn a regular high school diploma.

Georgia, he noted, has among the highest requirements in the nation for graduation.

Area schools see long term improvements

ID fraud linked to company card ALPHARETTA, Ga. — A woman reported Sept. 30 that someone had accessed her personal information and Social Security number to steal a check for her business.

The woman uses a Costco Credit Card for her business and set up her account to get rebate checks mailed to her residence.

On Sept. 30, however, the woman received an email from Costco confirming her change of address to Atlanta.

She had not made any such changes.

When the woman called Costco, an employee told her that the change of address was done over a chat line on the computer.

The person who attempted to make the change had used the woman’s Social Security number and other personal information.

Public meeting set for new STEM Campus Oct. 12 Community to get look at plans, drawings for education center

By CANDY WAYLOCK candy@appenmediagroup.com NORTH FULTON, Ga. – Parents and prospective students interested in the new science and technology school in Alpharetta are invited to an Oct. 12 community meeting hosted by Fulton County Schools. During the meeting, site plans and building drawings for the innovative campus will be presented.

Scheduled to open in August 2020 the science, technology, engineering, math – or STEM – school will offer a curriculum of college and career-focused pathways in the areas of health science, information technology and engineering.

The meeting is open to the public and will run from 6:30 to 8 p.m. at the Milton Center (former Milton High School) in downtown Alpharetta, where the new school will be located.

“At the meeting, leaders from the Operations, Academics, and Curriculum

departments will be available to answer questions about the new facility, its academic programs, and the demolition of the existing building,” said Susan Hale, spokesperson for Fulton Schools.

The existing buildings on the site will be torn down to make way for the new campus, but the athletic fields will remain. The new campus will include wings containing each program of study, as well as a separate auditorium for both school and community use.

The buildings will encompass 243,000 square feet, including the auditorium, with a capacity of 1,500 students drawn from the 10 high schools across the system.

The concept behind the STEM school is to offer a nontraditional high school experience that brings the business world into the “classrooms” to help build programs aligned both to student interest and workforce needs.

“The programs will provide students with the necessary tools and resources to make informed decisions about their paths of choice [after high school],” said Hale. “Students will have the opportunity to connect and work within local Atlanta businesses and industries as interns or observers.”

FULTON COUNTY SCHOOLS

The North STEM High School is scheduled to open in August 2020 on the campus of the former Milton High in downtown Alpharetta.

The North Fulton campus will be one of two STEM schools opening in Fulton in the next four years, with a second opening in South Fulton in 2021. Both schools are being funded by proceeds from the Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax approved by voters in 2016.

While next week’s meeting is pri-

marily intended to give the public a first glimpse of the innovative campus design, presentations will be given by the architect and land planner. “[We will] receive additional community input, [and] it is common that staff will continue to make minor modifications to the design based upon input through the design process,” Hale said.

By JOE PARKER joe@appenmediagroup.com MILTON, Ga. — Rachel Grace Martinez and her family anticipated their evacuation from Key West ahead of Hurricane Irma would be a harrowing experience.

But Martinez said thanks to the kindness of Milton residents, their evacuation was anything but troubling.

“I know that evacuation is supposed to be a trying and traumatic experience, but it really has not been,” she said. “My faith in humanity has been restored because of this experience.”

On Sept. 8, Martinez, her two children, her partner Ben Solove, their two cats and one dog packed into her Kia Forte which she had purchased new just two days earlier. With the car packed to the brim, they headed to Milton where they would stay with Solove’s former nanny.

They planned to stay just one week, but after finding out their Key West home had no electricity or water, the trip turned into a three-week stay.

During that time, Martinez said she and her family were met with nothing but compassion.

“It was just such an easy process,” she said. “Everyone was so kind and friendly and showed genuine concern.

People offered food and clothing and everywhere we went people were asking if we were okay.”

Due to the long stay, Martinez’s 10-year old daughter, Raquel, was enrolled at Summit Hill Elementary while her 12-year old son, Ryan, attended Hopewell Middle. Martinez said she is grateful to the schools for accommodating her children.

Martinez was also thankful to Countryside Pet Estates which took in her 45-pound pit bull.

She had only budgeted to be in Milton for two weeks, so when Countryside found out Martinez would have to stay another week, they waived her boarding fees.

At night, Countryside employee and Cambridge softball player Liz Seymour volunteered to foster the dog at her family’s home during the week.

“Everyone has been so helpful and kind,” Martinez said. “This experience has opened my eyes to the fact that people are inherently good.”

Martinez and her family are forever grateful to the residents of Milton who shared such kindness. And maybe, they will be residents one day.

“I wish I could live here,” she said. “I actually looked into it. We were looking at houses and jobs in the area. That’s how much we love it here.”

To have a store in our hometown is cool...My parents still live in the area.

DREW FRENCH, Your Pie founder 16 | Milton Herald | October 5, 2017

Created by Milton grad, Your Pie opens Milton location

By JOE PARKER joe@appenmediagroup.com MILTON, Ga. — Milton High graduate Drew French began Your Pie in 2008, aiming to provide delicious pizza fast in a family atmosphere. Since then, the company has grown through franchising to include 49 locations from California to Chicago, with 50 more stores in developmental stages. And now the company is coming back to where it all started. Your Pie opened its Milton location Friday at 2955 Bethany Bend, near where the company’s founder grew up.

“To have a store in our hometown is cool,” French said. “My parents still live in the area.”

Following his Italian honeymoon, French opened the first Your Pie in Athens, featuring what he calls “the best pizza in the world,” with fresh ingredients and homemade sauces inspired by the Italian island of Ischia.

He also created a casual, family atmosphere.

“We wanted to talk to every customer and provide a great experience,” he said. “Milton is our 48th location and that mentality hasn’t changed. We still provide brick-oven pizza and do it in an atmosphere that is family friendly and a fun place to work and hang out.”

Your Pie’s focus goes beyond just providing tasty pizza, French said.

“We come into communities with the goal to make the community better,” he said. “We look to be a fabric of the community.”

One of the ways Your Pie benefits its locations communities is through its “Dine and Donate” events.

These benefits raise funds for local charitable organizations or causes. At

Created by former Milton resident Drew French, Your Pie opened a Milton location last week. its Milton location, Your Pie offered 1,000 free pizzas to collect monetary donations to benefit 104.7 The Fish’s annual Christmas Wish program.

Your Pie also offers benefit nights, in which a percentage of sales goes to local organizations.

The Milton Your Pie will be the second location under the ownership of brothers Jacob and Justin Patterson who also own the Roswell location.

Justin echoes the sentiment that Your Pie helps to better the community.

Best of fall in Georgia blows through the mountains Taking time off This is the time of year in Georgia when spurts of cool breezes blow through the humidity and heat and tickle our spirits into a state reminiscent of an old college buddy GEOFF SMITH popping in through Assurance Financial, gsmith@lendtheway.com the door to whisk you off to one more, wild weekend. Or at least into trying to be fancy with your writing of a business article.

Truth be told though, there are few places on the planet better than Georgia in the fall and spring. It’s a proven fact…probably. The weather is a big reason that so many people have moved down here – just ask someone from the great city of Chicago.

This time of year, those cool breezes move my attention to the mountains.

Standing mountaintop, looking out miles and watching the wind blow up and down the red- and gold-covered hills and valleys, will lead you to a true moment where you say “there really is no other place I’d rather be.” And there are many great places to go in the North Georgia mountains. Blood Mountain is one of my favorite spots.

It’s just north of Dahlonega and is an easy day trip. You could drive up Ga. 400, enjoy the ride, park at the base of the mountain, hike to the top, enjoy the open views and be home in time for dinner. Or, better yet, eat on the square in downtown Dahlonega.

Georgia’s mountain towns have developed nicely over the years, and there is a wide variety of places to go visit.

There are relatively large cities such as Dahlonega and Clayton that are surrounded by great parks and nature, but also have large commercial districts and hotels. Then there are also small towns like Blue Ridge and Ellijay that have just enough.

Perhaps the most visited, or most

known, is Helen. This city was originally founded as a logging town, but in the last 1960’s reinvented itself as a Bavarian Alpine town lined with buildings modeled after many of the great south-German cities. It has become crowded over the years and is flooded throughout the day and night with sounds of loud motorcycles, but it has a thriving commercial district with shops and restaurants, is built along a much smaller and younger Chattahoochee River and is surrounded by awesome sites, like Anna Ruby Falls, Unicoi State Park and Dukes Creek Falls.

Blue Ridge and Hiawassee are two of my favorite North Georgia towns.

Both have nice-enough downtowns, good restaurants, and are surrounded by fat mountains. But what they also have are incredible lakes. Lake Blue Ridge and Chatuge Lake are surrounded by mountains, have clear water and whisper serenity.

That said though, if I’m talking about North Georgia lakes, I have no choice but to mention Lake Burton.

As far as beauty and serenity goes, it has both Chatuge and Blue Ridge beat.

Located just west of Clayton, it is also lined with some of the most expensive real estate in the state. Many famous people have houses there, including Nick Saban and country music star

Alan Jackson, and houses go easily for $2 million to $5 million.

I spent part of a summer in college working at Camp High Harbour, which long ago secured a prime spot on the lake. The owner of Waffle House had just bought the small mountain next to the camp and was in the process of blasting off the top of it so he could have 10 flat acres. I bet it’s interesting walking around the grocery store on the weekends there these days.

In Georgia, there are countless day hikes, waterfalls, small lakes and small towns. Oh – and canyons. Right. Cloudland Canyon is one of our recent finds.

It is awesome and is about a 20-minute drive from Chattanooga. Last time we went we camped there and drove into the city for dinner. It was fantastic.

Bottom line is, it’s that time of year again. Do yourself a favor: just pick a spot and go.

Has it been a while since you have taken some time off? Are you planning to take some well-deserved vacation?

Taking some time off to recharge your batteries is DICK JONES not only a good Founder & President Jones Simply Sales idea, but also a smart idea.

Most small business owners typically work a seven-day week. While they may not be working every hour, they most likely are thinking about their small business all the time.

What is planned for next week, how to get the next customer, hiring decisions, and hundreds of other things, day-after-day, week-afterweek, and month-after-month.

This can all add up. While taking some time off may be counter-intuitive thinking for a small business owner who works 24/7, it’s a necessity to avoid burnout, stress and health issues. Most small business owners will tell you that if they are on vacation they can’t stop thinking about their business. That’s OK. Some of the best new business ideas have been formulated from a beach chair or during a round of golf. Just because you are on vacation doesn’t mean you can’t do some valuable things for your business.

Taking some time off doesn’t have to be a lavish two-week vacation. It could be just a bunch of three- or four-day weekends. And while most people think of vacations as traveling somewhere, you actually can take time off without leaving your home.

As a hard working small business owner, there is no better time than the upcoming fall months to take some time off. You may just come up with a great idea while having an umbrella drink on the beach that skyrockets your sales!

Local woman opens veteran-only franchise Full-service junk removal business comes to Forsyth

By KATHLEEN STURGEON kathleen@appenmediagroup.com FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. — After spending more than 20 years working more than 80 hours a week at a corporate job, Anita Tucker knew she wanted to change career paths.

“I was totally burned out,” Tucker said. “I realized I was hurting myself but, more importantly, my kids needed me. I am a single mother. I lost my husband eight years ago, so I was concerned that my children were losing another parent to a job that was not satisfying at all.”

She saw a news program featuring a national business called JDog Junk Removal and Hauling, a full-service junk removal company that removes almost anything, and suddenly everything clicked.

In August, she opened her own franchise in Forsyth County also serving surrounding communities including Hall and Gwinnett counties.

The company recycles, reuses or donates as much as it can to minimize items going into the landfill. They also do cleanouts, demolition and salvage

occasionally.

To open a franchise, the owner must be a veteran or a family member of a veteran, and the military mindset of respect, integrity and trust are translated to the business, Tucker said.

Tucker served in the Navy as a supply officer and is a Desert Storm veteran.

She said she is blessed to live in this country where everyone has opportunities like this.

“Being a woman and a veteran may be how you define me demographically, but it doesn’t define me as a person,” Tucker said. “I believe we all have tremendous opportunities. No matter who you are, there are going to be people who spit on your dreams or tell you what you should believe or act a certain way. Go with your heart and trust in God.” Since opening in August, Tucker said she has received tremendous support from the community, the Cumming-Forsyth County Chamber of Commerce and her customers.

She strives to hire other veterans, too, because they come into every job with a “‘let’s get this done’ attitude,”

The JDog Junk Removal and Hauling Lake Lanier team includes, from left, Quincy Wiley, Anita Tucker and Justin Biggers. she said.

But the most important aspect of her job is being able to adjust her schedule to spend time with her kids, who help in the business.

“In the corporate world, there is not a great sense of community, and I found that I really missed that,” Tucker said.

“I get to meet the good people of For-

syth County every day. It’s a great feeling to know that I can provide a service that makes them feel good about their homes and themselves.”

She’s hoping to expand in the future to add an additional truck and trailer, and possibly purchase more franchises.

How to buy a house when you’re only 23 (NAPSI)—Amy is a typical millennial: She’s 23, she graduated from college two years ago, she pays $321 in student loan debt every month and she rents an apartment in downtown Grand Rapids, Michigan.

She’s a sales manager for an international food distribution company and volunteers as an English tutor every week. She loves bike riding, playing her guitar, Saturday brunch and beer tastings.

One thing, however, is not typical about Amy: She bought a house and will move in next month.

Why and how did she do that? Saving money was the biggest reason. “My friend Mike just bought a house and his mortgage is $300 less than his rent!

When I heard that, I was definitely interested. Plus, I need a tax deduction,” Amy said. She currently pays $1,440 a month in rent.

She already saved enough for a 5 percent down payment. Amy tapped into a financial calculator found at mgic.com/buynow to figure out if she should buy now or wait to save for a bigger down payment.

“My dad really wanted me to save enough to put 20 percent down. But I showed him that it could take me eight years to save that much money! In that time, I could build up $63,000 in equity or spend $140,000 in rent payments,” Amy explained.

Surprisingly, student loan debt was actually an advantage. Amy has been conscientiously paying her

college loan every month since she graduated in 2015.

“My loan officer said that because I have been paying consistently, it worked in my favor and boosted my credit score. She also said that I can obviously stay focused and live within a budget,” Amy noted.

Credit history started when she was 16. Thanks to her mom’s advice, Amy applied for a credit card when she was still in high school, used it and then paid it off every month. Amy’s credit score is now a highly respectable 771.

Private mortgage insurance (PMI) was also her friend. Amy explained, “Okay, one of the reasons my dad wanted me to save for a 20 percent down payment was so I would avoid paying private mortgage insurance. Maybe I could have put more down but I didn’t want to deplete my savings. What if something breaks in my new house? Or what if I want to buy a new sofa? So PMI helped me buy my house with only 5 percent down.”

Let today’s technology save you from ‘renophobia’ (NAPSI)—If you’ve been thinking, or even just dreaming, about buying a new home but “renophobia—the fear of having to do renovations—is holding you back, you may be glad to hear two things.

1. You’re not alone. Often, prospective homebuyers, particularly millennials, want a turnkey home but can’t afford one in their desired area, and a fear of renovating means they remain renters. At the same time, many older homes have the potential to become a dream house with a little TLC. 2. Technological advancements can make homebuying easier and less expensive.

You can now know just what renovations and repairs a house you’re considering will need, even before you visit it. That’s because Intero Real Estate Services (interorealestate.com) has partnered with Kukun, an online platform offering digital solutions that help homeowners navigate the home remodeling process.

Through the widget, you get realtime home renovation estimates and return on investment information for the online listings. You can see which renovations you’d like to do, how much they will cost and what the property will be worth once they’re complete. You can even see which other homes in the area have had renovations and which construction companies or contractors were used.

What’s more, there are easy-touse tools that help home renovators manage the process from beginning to end and control the time and money involved along the way. It’s simple to do. You can access the system through

an app on your phone as well as the widget and get valuable data as you walk through a property.

What To Look For While you’re doing that, think about these seven things.

1. Is the building structurally sound? Look for big cracks, dampness around baseboards, and sagging walls.

Check the window frames for cracked paint. Look at the ceiling for cracks, flaky plaster or water stains.

2. Are the rooms and closets big enough? Are there enough bathrooms?

Are the ceilings a good height for you?

Will your family and furniture fit comfortably?

3. Inspect the plumbing. Check the water pressure. Turn on all the faucets and flush all the toilets. See whether the pipes are insulated and make sure they’re not lead. Look under the sinks for leaks, water damage or mold.

4. Check out the basement and the attic. How easy is access? Is there much storage space? Could it be converted into extra rooms? Is there insulation?

5. Learn about the neighborhood.

How are the schools? How close is shopping? What’s the transportation like in the area? Is it under a flight path?

6. Look to the layout. How easy is it to get from room to room and from indoors to out?

7. It’s a hot idea to be sure the heating and cooling systems work.

Fall home maintenance Brought to you by – Bill Rawlings Vice President/Managing Broker, North Atlanta, Atlanta Fine Homes Sotheby’s International Realty Fall is quickly approaching and with the change of season, now is a great time to take care of a few home maintenance items, while also improving your home with fall accents before the cooler weather sets in. Prepare RAWLINGS you home for fall from exterior to interior with these helpful hints.

Sealing your windows: Now is the time to check for leaks, cracks and alternative damage around windows and doors. Gaps and cracks in a home can cause your heating bill to skyrocket during these colder months. In order to keep your home warm during this time, weather stripping your home can help to reduce this additional cool airflow.

Busted Pipes: Yes, Atlanta only experiences a few freezing tempature days a year, however, it is still common for pipes to bust. Help prepare your pipes by turning off your water valves that lead to your outdoor faucets. This will prevent the likelihood of freezing or breaking faucets during these colder months.

Fireplace inspections: As the air gets cooler and fireplace season kicks in, it is vital to have an annual inspection for damages and hazardous materials in your fireplace. Over time, burning wood and other flammable debree can build up on the intertior walls of your chimney, and something as simple as a cozy fire on a Sunday evening can turn into frightful chaos, if the correct procedures are not implemented ahead of time.

Now that the exterior of your home is prepared, here are a few festive interior updates that can prepare your home for the months to come.

Curtains: If your home has an abundance of windows, it can be difficult to keep it warm, even when the windows correctly sealed. One of the best tips for additional insulation is to install window treatments. In addition to weather stripping, curtains keep the cold air trapped between the treatment and window reducing the amount of cold air flow throughout your home.

Fall color scheme: Fall is one of the best times of year to decorate your home! Accessorize with fall-inspired

Virtual reality is changing the way homeowners remodel North Atlanta homeowners are now seeing their remodeling imaginations become reality. Remodeling Expo Center has quickly become North Atlanta’s highest grossing remodeling company, in part, due to its practical application of technology. The same devices that have revolutionized the entertainment industry are now being used to provide realistic 3D models of in-home renovations.

Equipped with a virtual reality headset, homeowners can preview their newly remodeled home without using a single hammer or nail. Virtual reality has been widely praised as the next big technological revolution, revamping the way that users interact with the digital world. Much of the hype surrounding virtual reality (VR) has been focused on gaming, but more and more businesses are finding clever ways to adapt to this technology to their own industries, like medical students using VR systems for surgical training. In the unlikely world of architecture, virtual reality has found its way into a special niche. VR technology is the perfect tool for modeling 3D structures and buildings during the design phase of a remodel. For the first time, homeowners can preview different floorplans, different color schemes, or different interior designs without ever having to break ground on a project.

From the comfort of a VR headset,

home remodelers and their clients can make advanced design decisions at a fraction of the cost.

One Atlanta business is single handedly expanding the industry. As a pioneer in the home remodeling market, Remodeling Expo Center has already used this technology in more than 100 projects. According to John Hogan, President of Remodeling Expo Center, “Virtual reality is the best visual tool for homeowners to preview their design. Just a decade ago, this work was largely left to the imagination. Now we can generate a photo-realistic rendering right before their eyes. This way, homeowners can see exactly what the finished product will look like weeks in advance.”

Advanced technology is just part of the re-engineered remodeling experience. Along with the use of virtual reality is a digital estimation system, certified kitchen and bathroom designers and finally, an integrated installation team. The combination of all these elements has resulted in a remodeling experience unlike anything else in the marketplace.

Should I stage my house before selling? Will it sell for more money?

By Shanaz Kanga Harry Norman Realtors This is a common question I get when talking to people considering a home sale.

My answer is always yes. First impressions are important and it could shorten the selling time of your house by making it more apKANGA pealing to buyers.

So what are the benefits of staging a house? Staging is an opportunity for you to put your best foot forward. Buyers have a hard time visualizing space.

It is important to de-clutter, remove extra furniture, heavy drapery and neutralize the colors. The human brain finds it easy to process Balance and Symmetry so it is extremely important to bring those into your space to create a sense of “familiarity”.

Simple strategies to reorganize your space – Create a Focal point, Ensure good Lighting and Flow of space. · A focal point such as a welldressed fireplace allows the eyes to “rest” while the brain is processing the space. This draws attention to

the strengths of the room and deemphasizes the lesser features. · Light – There must be plenty of it! You can create drama with artificial light and let in natural light by opening up drapes and blinds. Toss heavy curtains and leave windows clean and bare if there isn’t enough light. · Flow of space – The placement of furniture in the space must allow for plenty of open room to “lead” the eye and allow it to rest momentarily on an object. Smaller conversation areas that are set apart, create visual traffic lanes, and allow positive energy to flow through the spaces.

Milton’s defense held Roswell to 249 yards in the first half and under 100 yards in the second half during the Eagles’ 40-7 win.

MILTON 40, ROSWELL 7:

Milton prevails over rivals Roswell in 63rd meeting

By JOE PARKER joe@appenmediagroup.com ROSWELL, Ga. — Milton used steady offensive play and a stout performance from its defense in a lopsided win over Roswell Friday night in the historic North Fulton rivalry series.

Milton’s offense moved the ball effectively throughout the night and accumulated just under 400 yards of total offense. Quarterback Jordan Yates accounted for four touchdowns, three passing and one rushing, to lead the Eagles.

Roswell’s offense put up 249 yards in the first half, but two costly turnovers in the red zone kept the Hornets to just seven points. Milton’s defense would hold Roswell to under 100 yards in the second half.

Roswell’s three-game win streak over Milton ended with the loss.

Milton converted a fourth-and-1 in its own territory on the Eagles’ opening drive and went on to score with a touchdown rush from Yates.

Roswell responded with an 82-yard drive, capped off by a touchdown pass from Cordel Littlejohn to Tyneil Hopper to tie the game at 7-7.

The Eagles faced another fourth down in their own territory on their ensuing drive, but a little trickery led to

Solomon Vanhorse (3) fights off a tackle from Roswell’s Sam Antona in Milton’s 40-7 win. another score.

On fourth-and-3 from their own 24, Milton ran a fake punt on a direct snap to Jordan Davis who rushed 30-yards for a first down. Milton would later score on a third-and-17 from Roswell’s 18-yard line with a pass from Yates to Holden Shaw.

The first of Roswell’s red zone turnovers occurred on their next drive.

Syaire Waters intercepted a Littlejohn slant in the end zone for a touchback.

That turnover resulted in quick points for Milton who used a 75-yard pass from Yates to Dash Hairston to go

up 21-7.

Hairston had three receptions for 99-yards and two touchdowns.

The Hornets had another chance to cut the lead, but a fumble following a Roswell reception at the 15-yard line turned the ball over to Milton.

The score would remain 21-7 until early in the fourth quarter when Yates and Hairston connected for another touchdown. Hayden Hairston added a field goal to give Milton a 31-7 lead with four minutes remaining.

Milton added nine points to their lead in 15 seconds when Roswell was called for intentional grounding in the end zone, leading to a safety. DJ Albright then returned the free kick 60-yards for a touchdown.

The game ended the non-region schedule for both teams, with Milton sporting a 4-1 record and Roswell falling to 1-4.

The win propels Milton to its first 4-1 start since 2014, the last year Milton captured a region title.

For Roswell, the game was the fourth frustrating loss for a team with 22 new starters and an almost entirely new coaching staff.

Both teams begin region play next Friday. Milton will host West Forsyth, head coach Adam Clack’s former team, while Roswell takes on Lassiter (4-1).

Date set for Old Milton Log Cabin transport Historic structure will be relocated just down the street

By PATRICK FOX pat@appenmediagroup.com ALPHARETTA, Ga. – After nearly two years of planning and fundraising, a local group has set the date to transport the historic Old Milton Log Cabin to its new digs some 500 feet to the south on Milton Avenue.

The Alpharetta and Old Milton County Historical Society has hired a contractor to place the Depression-era structure on a trailer and move it to a small park the city purchased this summer.

The cabin has sat on the campus of the old Milton High School for decades since it was built between 1934 and 1935 by student members of the Future Farmers of America.

The move, scheduled sometime around noon Oct. 14, comes just weeks before the Fulton County Schools plans to clear the property to begin construction on a new math and technology school.

The Board of Education donated the cabin to the city in May once it determined the value of the structure was less than the expense to have it demolished.

“Things are going well,” said Mary Lee, who has helped spearhead the preservation campaign for the Historical Society. “We’re excited. We’re hoping to make a party out of it.”

So far, the nonprofit has raised a little more than $155,000 for the relocation, but that will only cover the cost of the transport. More funds are needed to construct a foundation at the new site and possibly dig a basement, Lee said. Plans call for leaving the cabin on

its transport trailer until a foundation is set.

In preparation, the front porch and back room to the structure have already been disassembled.

Timing for the move itself is up in the air because of the logistics involved in clearing utility lines and setting up traffic control on Milton Avenue.

Even so, the Historical Society is planning to keep onlookers entertained at the nearby Alpharetta Masonic Lodge, 194 Milton Avenue. The event will include music from Atlanta-area musician Randy Elkins. He is the grandson of Pearce Elkins, the teacher and sponsor of the FFA Club at Milton High under whose oversight the Log Cabin was built.

In July, the Historical Society sponsored an open house at the cabin to help raise money for its preservation.

That event included old-time games for children, food and antique quilt displays.

It also included a special visit by George Jones, 96, one of the two surviving FFA students who took part in the cabin’s construction.

Now the Historical Society is turning its attention to graduates of the Old Milton High School to help put the project over the top, Lee said.

Of the funds raised so far, the organization has received $50,000 from the city and another $15,000 from the Alpharetta Convention and Visitors Bureau.

Pat Miller, president of the Historical Society, said donations are being accepted by mail by sending checks to Alpharetta & Old Milton County Historical Society, 1835 Old Milton Pkwy, Alpharetta, Ga. 30009.

Please write “Log Cabin” on the memo line. Donations can also be made on the organization’s website, www. aomchs.org; click on Log Cabin at the bottom of the page.

The cabin has sat on the campus of the old Milton High School for decades since it was built between 1934 and 1935 by student members of the Future Farmers of America.

Milton Fire Marshall advises safe burning MILTON, Ga. — Some Milton residents are now permitted to burn yard debris with the end of the Environmental Protection Division’s burn ban, but the city’s Fire Marshall is urging safe practices.

From Oct. 1 — April 30, residents in agriculturally zoned areas are permitted to burn small piles of yard debris provided they abide by the city’s fire regulations. The permitted area generally applies to all areas of the city except the Ga. 9/Deerfield Corridor and within residential subdivisions.

Refer to the “Current Zoning” map under the “Maps” section on the Milton website at www.cityofmiltonga.us/maps, or contact City Hall at 678-2422500 if you are unsure if you live in an agriculturally

zoned area.

Outdoor burning of small piles of residential debris may be allowed depending on the fire danger rating for the day. The rating is dependent on factors such as the wind and humidity levels for the day.

Residents are urged to call the Milton Fire Department at 678-242-2541 during regular business hours to check if safe burning is permitted on any day outside of the Burn Ban. For those planning to burn yard debris, which includes leaves, small branches and twigs, Milton’s Fire Marshall advises following these tips to ensure a safe burn: • All fires must be out at dark; • Clear 25 feet or more area around debris pile;

• Generally, according to the International Fire Code, debris piles should a minimum of 50 feet from any building or other structure (fence, property line, etc.); • Never use flammable liquids to start fire; • Check to see which direction the wind is blowing before starting the fire so flames and smoke do not blow at you or at your neighbor; • You are responsible for your smoke: If the fire creates a public nuisance though excessive smoke and we respond with a fire engine, Milton Fire will put it out.

• Never leave the fire unattended; • Ensure fire is completely extinguished and pile is cool to the touch.

• Complete regulations are available on the Milton website under “Residential Burning Rules.”

Plan like there is no tomorrow.
