Teenager imprisons ex-girlfriend in bathroom JOHNS CREEK, Ga. — A 17-year-old male was arrested Oct. 8 after allegedly trapping his ex-girlfriend in a gym bathroom to steal her phone and look through it.

The ex-girlfriend had arrived at the Lifetime Fitness on Johns Creek Parkway to work out on the treadmill, when the male approached her and took her phone. He pushed her away when she tried to grab it, but eventually she retrieved the phone and ran into the bathroom to call for help.

The teenager followed his ex-girlfriend into the bathroom and eventually crawled under a bathroom stall where

According to police, Mills received one visible injury to his arm. He told police at the scene that he could not recall what had happened. He was taken to North Fulton Regional Hospital for examination.

Billups, driving a 2014 Ford Focus SE, was apparently dead at the scene.Johns Creek Police said the investigation was ongoing and did not say whether Mills was arrested.

Can You Eat Your Way To Better Vision?

By Claire Marsh, Milan Eye Center

It can be difficult to know what foods are truly good for your health and vision. There is a lot of advice out there, and not all of it is wellfounded. For example, carrots are commonly thought to help improve vision. However, research has shown that carrots, while good for your overall health, do not play as significant a role in vision as once thought. At the same time, people often overlook other foods that contain nutrients essential to maintaining healthy vision.

The American Optometric Association recommends adding the following nutrients to your daily diet either through foods or through supplements: Lutein & Zeaxanthin Leafy green vegetables, pumpkins, summer squash, and eggs all contain lutein and zeaxanthin. Numerous studies have shown that lutein and zeaxanthin can reduce the risk of chronic eye diseases, including cataracts and age-related macular degeneration.

Vitamin C Vitamin C is thought to lower the risk of developing cataracts. Additionally, when consumed in combination with other essential nutrients, it can slow the progression of age-related macular degeneration and visual acuity loss. Vitamin C is found in a variety of fruits and vegetables, including citrus fruits, berries, tomatoes, peppers, cabbage, broccoli, brussels sprouts, cauliflower, and cantaloupe.

Vitamin E Vitamin E is an antioxidant that can protect cells in the eyes from unstable molecules called free radicals, which break down healthy tissue. Vitamin E can be found in nuts, fortified cereals, sweet potatoes, and avocados.

Essential Fatty Acids Fats boost the immune system, fuel cells, and maintain the integrity of the nervous system. Scientific research shows that omega-3 fatty acids are important for proper visual development and retinal function. Additionally, omega-3 fatty acids have been shown to improve your tear film, which is vital to your vision. Sources of omega-3 fatty acids include cold water fish, such as salmon, tuna, and cod. You can also get omega-3 fatty acids from plant sources, such as walnuts and flaxseed.

Zinc Zinc is highly concentrated in the eye, particularly in the retina and in the vascular tissue layer lying under the retina called the choroid. As an essential trace mineral, zinc plays a key role in bringing vitamin A from the liver to the retina to produce melanin. Some foods containing zinc include lean meat, seafood, eggs, leafy green vegetables, peanuts, and cheese.

Each of the above nutrients is important to eye health, but like anything, they are best consumed in moderation. Your best bet is to eat a healthy, well-balanced diet and to consult a doctor before making any drastic dietary changes.

Eat Right For Your Sight.

City to restart discussions on Cauley Creek Park

By HATCHER HURD hatcher@appenmediagroup.com JOHNS CREEK, Ga. – Public hearings over uses and programming of Cauley Creek Park will get a re-start after the City Council decided the addition of 60 acres, known as Quail Hollow, warrants some rethinking.

HUTMACHER At the Oct. 16 City Council meeting, officials voted to begin new rounds of public comment on what to do with the park now that it covers 200 acres.

City Manager Warren Hutmacher made the request saying the additional acreage significantly alters any plan for the combined properties.

Parents eager for more information on STEM campus Recent meeting focuses only on building plans

By CANDY WAYLOCK candy@appenmediagroup.com NORTH FULTON, Ga. – A community forum to present plans for a new high school in North Fulton may have left some in the crowd with more questions than answers about proposed curriculum and enrollment.

Fulton County School leaders hosted the Oct. 12 meeting at Milton Center with an agenda focused only on building plans and layout for the STEM (science, technology, engineering, math) high school in Alpharetta.

The innovative school is set to open in August 2020 on the campus of the former Milton High School in downtown Alpharetta. All existing facilities, with the exception of the athletic fields, will be demolished beginning in early 2018.

Despite the presentation on building plans and blueprints by school leaders and architects, the audience questions revolved entirely around enrollment, curriculum, extracurricular offerings and other student-focused information.

Most of the questions remained unanswered, with school officials saying that information is still being developed and will be shared at a later date as the district gets closer to the opening date.

“We are going to meet the desires of the students who will be coming here,” promised Patrick Burke, director of Operations for Fulton Schools. “We are building this for the kids.”

The idea of a STEM school has been on the front burner for Fulton Schools for years as school leaders look for options and opportunities beyond traditional high schools.

Burke said the idea for the North Fulton STEM high school is driven in part by the business community and their ideas on the skills and abilities they are looking for in new employees.

To that end, the STEM high school will focus on three pathways – engineering, information technology and healthcare sciences – with a curriculum that supports these fast-growing industries.

Other aspects such as drama, arts, music, sports, clubs, that students have access to in traditional high

We are going to meet the desires of the students who will be coming here. We are building this for the kids.”

PATRICK BURKE Director of Operations for Fulton Schools schools, may or may not be part of the STEM school, Burke noted. While there may be options, they likely will not look the same as what a regular high school can support, such as a 200-person orchestra.

The school is being designed for up to 1,500 students; about half the size of a traditional high school in Fulton.

Board member Katie Reeves, whose district includes the Alpharetta STEM school, said that does not mean these extracurricular offerings may not be available, but the choices may be more student-driven.

“If you are a football player and want to come to this school, it may mean you [take it upon yourself] to start a football team,” she explained.

But Burke cautioned parents, many of whom appeared frustrated with the limited information available, that the school is still nearly three years away and very much in the design phase. For now, the focus is on ensuring the buildings and design specifications support the three pathways.

The conversation about who and what fills those buildings will be the next phase.

He assured the community that last week’s meeting would not be the only opportunity to have their voices heard.

A second STEM school will open in South Fulton in 2021. Both schools are being funded by proceeds from the onecent Special Purpose Location Option Sales Tax passed by voters in October 2015.

Charity Guild of St Ives Park: announces rebranding

Continued from Page 4

Noprofit renamed Charity Guild of Johns Creek JOHNS CREEK, Ga. - The Board of Directors of the Charity Guild of St Ives and Greater Johns Creek has announced it will formally become the Charity Guild of Johns Creek.

The Board of Directors introduced its new logo and corporate identity during the Johns Creek Business Expo Friday, Sept. 29, at The Bricks at Perimeter Church. Over the course of its nearly 25-year history, the members of Charity Guild of Johns Creek have raised over $1million in funds and inkind services to benefit local charities.

During the remainder of 2017, both names and logos may be present as the group works to make the transition to its new look.

The new logo identity was designed and created by Sue Shirk of Think Tank Communications, a graphics and marketing communications firm located in Johns Creek.

“We are thrilled to kick off our 25th anniversary year with a completely new and refreshed identity”, said Phebe Wheeler, co-President of Charity Guild

of Johns Creek.

“The name now more accurately describes our community focus and our members commitment to serving those in need in our community. Membership is always open to anyone, but now our name makes it more apparent than ever Charity Guild of Johns Creek serves all of Johns Creek and beyond.”

Charity Guild of Johns Creek serves six named local charities including CHRIS 180, HomeStretch, North Fulton Community Charities, Senior Services North Fulton, STAR House and Wellspring Living.

that this is a 200-acre park and not just 140 acres,” Hutmacher told the council. “Quail Hollow has some different components and we also benefit from the citizen input in the process.”

It will entail an additional $57,000 to enlarge the scope of work for the consultants on the project.

The city wants a more effective “engagement strategy” to get more public input on the parkland.

“The important item added is the community engagement,” Hutmacher said. “The purpose would be to create a dialogue and productive feedback between the city and its residents to develop a master plan for the park.”

The intent is to “strike a balance” between the adopted master plan while shielding the surrounding affected neighborhoods from the effects of the park, Hutmacher said.

There is no time frame associated with the plan. The city will bring the park master plan before all neighborhoods in the city, ensuring those most affected will be heard and that mitigating strategies on the parks’ effect are employed.

“The big change in the communications process is this. In the past,

The big change in the communications process is this....”

WARREN HUTMACHER City Manager the city has relied on the consultants to lead through that public process.

I think that strategy has not been successful, so the professional staff led by myself will lead the engagement strategy,” Hutmacher said.

The City Council approved the contract change including postponing future meetings until the first of 2018.

“We want the public to know we are in this for the long haul and are not going to rush anything through,” said Mayor Mike Bodker. “We are committed to partnering with them to get a good result.”

Councilwoman Stephanie Endres agreed. She said she was glad to see the process is being slowed down.

“I think it is the right thing to do because we benefitted from adding that extra property – and because the last process happened so quickly and there was a lot of activity put on that park,” Endres said.

The motion passed 7-0.

Nonprofit trains 10,000th child in class to deter predators Revved Up Kids on a mission to eliminate abuse

By PATRICK FOX pat@appenmediagroup.com JOHNS CREEK, Ga. – Revved Up Kids, a Johns Creek nonprofit that provides training programs on the topic of child sexual abuse and exploitation, marked an important milestone in September.

The organization announced it had trained its 10,000th child, a student at Fickett Elementary School in Atlanta.

Since 2010, Revved Up Kids has offered unique training programs to groups in metropolitan Atlanta and North Georgia. It offers mobile, single-session personal safety and violence prevention training programs for Atlanta area children ages 5-19, for parents and for youth-serving organizations.

“We understand how challenging it is for parents to open up about this topic with their children,” said cofounder Alli Neal.

“But, we also know that the easiest target for a predator is the child who doesn’t know predators exist. Our training is about equipping children and helping parents and youth-serving organizations take steps to protect them.”

The idea behind Revved Up Kids came to Neal in 2009, when she said she felt a calling from God to do something to protect children from abuse.

The found little information to help them.

“There’s not an education path for this,” Alli said. “That was the hardest part of all, was God said ‘Go and do,’ and we had to figure out what that meant. It took me a year and a half from the time I felt God was making this call to the time we actually launched a business.”

That was no easy task. The Neals had to dig deep for any research into the best methods to teach kids how to combat abuse.

“Nobody’s doing this,” Alli said. “We were not only starting a business, we were starting a category. “ She said there are a lot of organizations and agencies that provide services to help restore victims after abuse takes place, but there aren’t any organizations in Atlanta that are full-time focused on prevention.

There are police agencies that provide training through another national

REVVED UP KIDS

Revved Up Kids co-founder David Neal works with one of the children learning skills to avoid being a victim of child predators.

organization called radKIDS, which teaches children how to recognize, avoid, resist, and if necessary escape violence or harm in their lives.

To establish a working curriculum for the classes, the Neals looked to experts in child sexual abuse and child molestation.

The list was almost exclusively the high-profile people – people like John Walsh, who started the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children after his child was kidnapped and murdered.

The Neals had to do a lot of self-educating through reading materials that were produced by experts in the field. They also attended conferences on child abuse prevention and spoke with others who were operating similar child training programs in other parts of the country.

They developed their own handbook and test marketed the program to area children and groups. After receiving feedback, they adjusted the presentation, then put it into practice.

“We did do an evidence study with the University of Georgia School of Public Health to ensure that what we’re teaching is actually working, and it is, thankfully,” Alli said.

“The event’s purpose is to encourage local residents to try new dining experiences or return to their favorites and invite visitors to experience the Johns Creek restaurant scene also,” said Johns Creek Advantage CEO Courtney Bernardi.

The story behind Restaurant Week got its start when the city’s larger corporations approached JCA asking how they might be able to better partner with local restaurants.

These corporations wanted to know better all the various catering options and places that could host meetings and employee appreciation events. With this goal in mind, JCA went straight to the restaurant owners’ and began

Sixteen restaurants participating include • Abbotts Bar & Grill, • Fresh to Order, • Great Harvest Bread Company, • Grecian Gyro, • Hurricane Grill & Wings, • Jet’s Pizza, • Kathleen’s Catch, • Mari’s Cucina and Social House, a quarterly restaurant owners’ forum meeting.

It was at the first restaurant owners’ meeting, that Restaurant Week was born, It has been so successful it is now held twice a year. In March, participating restaurants feature JCRW week specials and during October participating restaurants offer fixed-price menu.

Just remember you have to specially ask for the JCRW menu or show the JCRW app prior to ordering at the participating restaurants.

The North Georgia Club was chartered on August 19, 2005 and has been actively making a difference in North Georgia since that time.

Johns Creek Symphony offers intimate concert, conversation Mozart, Beethoven, Ravel provide music, Baughman, Lemle provide commentary

By HATCHER HURD hatcher@appenmediagroup.com JOHNS CREEK, Ga. – The Johns Creek String Quartet will team up Sunday, Oct. 29, with Maestro J. Wayne Baughman and radio host John Lemle for an afternoon of music and commentary at Johns Creek United Methodist Church.

It is called “Maestro and Friends: A Musical Conversation,” where Baughman and Lemle provide anecdotes and musical asides with the musical program.

Johns Creek Symphony Orchestra Executive Director Linda Brill said this will be an unusual concert for the discerning listener.

“It will be very intimate and interactive,” Brill said. “Guests will have the opportunity to ask questions of Mr. Lemle and the maestro as well as the musicians.”

Seating is limited and only 150 tickets will be sold.

The repertoire for the afternoon will include Beethoven’s String Quartet No. 4 in C Minor, Op. 18; Mozart’s String Quartet No. 14 in G Major and Ravel’s Quartet in F Major.

In this unique, intimate, and interactive setting, patrons will have the opportunity to engage Baughman and Lemley with questions, while both share interesting musical commentary.

John Lemley is the host and producer of Atlanta’s only weekday classical radio program, “John Lemley’s City Café,” on AM 1690 WMLB, “The Voice of the Arts.”

From 1997-2015, Lemle produced and served as on-air host for classical music programming at 90.1 WABE, Atlanta’s National Public Radio station.

Lemley has garnered a number of accolades and awards. In 2008, he was named “Best Drive-Time DJ” by the staff of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution for his work as host of ‘All Things Considered.” In 2010, Atlanta Magazine picked Lemley and City Café as “Best of the Dial.” In 2012, Lemley received a GLAAD media award.

Baughman studied choral and orchestral conducting at the University of Alabama with advanced studies in conducting at the University of Michigan.

Beach resigns post as head of North Fulton Chamber Longtime president focuses on work with local CID

What is a community improvement district?

CIDs (as they are known) are self-taxing commercial districts that work in concert with the local government to finance self-improvement projects such as the recent $17 million Encore Bridge improvement connecting Encore Parkway and Northpoint Mall.

According to the North Fulton CID website, the ultimate goal is “investing in an even more vibrant and sustainable North Fulton. The CID serves as a catalyst for transportation planning, investment and improvement.”

North Fulton CID’s improvement area falls within the boundaries of parts of Alpharetta, Milton and Roswell. All three cities partner with the CID on projects, planning and initiatives.

By PATRICK FOX and HATCHER HURD pat@appenmediagroup.com APHARETTA, Ga. – Brandon Beach has announced his resignation as president and CEO of the Greater North Fulton Chamber of Commerce. He will take up duties as the North Fulton Community Improvement District executive director Jan. 1.

Beach, also a state senator from Alpharetta, has served as head of the Chamber since 2002. He said the change in jobs was at his request.

“I told my board, I’ve been serving as president for 15 years. I’m ready for a change,” Beach said. “I mean I love this chamber and I love this community. But I was also involved in the North Fulton Community Improvement District and was one of the founders of it.”

The North Fulton Community Improvement District was formed in 2003 by a group of business owners committed to maintaining and enhancing the North Fulton community.

Since its inception, the CID has invested more than $18 million in the community, leveraging these dollars to create $90 million in new infrastructure.

The North Fulton CID represents nearly 400 commercial property owners along the Ga. 400 corridor and the area’s more than 77,000 employees.

For the first two years of the CID’s

State Sen. Brandon Beach is stepping away from his Chamber of Commerce duties to take the reins of the North Fulton CID. This will dovetail with major interests in economic development and transportation/transit as he chairs the Senate Transportation Committee inception, Beach ran the operation in addition to his chamber duties. Then, Ann Hanlon was brought on board as CID executive director.

Hanlon resigned earlier this year to become executive director for the Perimeter CIDs in Sandy Springs. Beach

Register at www.GNFCC.com

took over duties for the North Fulton CID since then as interim director.

Both the chamber and CID share the same offices on Haynes Bridge Road in Alpharetta.

After a couple of months however, Beach went back to the chamber board to tell them the CID post was the job he really wanted to keep.

“Over the past six years I have become very passionate about transportation, about infrastructure and about transit,” he said. “This gives me the ability to laser focus on transportation issues that will continue to help North Fulton that I think will be good for North Fulton and continue to help us from an economic development standpoint.”

As a state senator, Beach says among the biggest constituent complaints is how tired they are of “sitting on Ga. 400 in near gridlock.”

Chamber leaders said they approved of the reshuffling of leadership.

“The GNFCC is very appreciative of Brandon’s work and leadership over the

past 15 years,” said Roger Lusby, North Fulton Chamber president. “His focus on jobs, transportation, and growth has created a dynamic chamber, and we wish him well at his new position with the North Fulton CID.” The Chamber and its Executive Board will begin a national search process for his replacement.

Kerry Armstrong, chairman of the board for the North Fulton CID, said he welcomes having Beach in a focused role.

“We’re excited about this next step for the Chamber and the CID and are thrilled the CID won’t miss a beat in carrying out our plans and vision,” he said.

In addition to serving as CID executive director, Beach is chairman of the Ga. Senate’s Transportation Committee; he is a member of the joint House-Senate Metropolitan Atlanta Transit Overview Committee and is a member of the Senate Economic Development and Tourism Committee.

STEVE HUDSON

The Unicoi Lake Loop Trail follows the lake near the visitor center.

GET OUTSIDE, GEORGIA:

Find fall color on the Unicoi Lake Loop Trail If you’ve looked outside this week, you’ve noticed that the leaves are beginning to turn.

Fall is here! It’s a great time to get outdoors and see what promises to be some excepSTEVE HUDSON tional fall color.

Get Outside Georgia, aa4bw@comcast.net And that brings up the big question: Where should you go to see it?

In North Georgia, that’s an easy question to answer. It may even be as simple as picking a mountain road at random and then setting out to explore. During leaf season that’s often all it takes.

Still, everybody has a preferred place to go to see fall leaves, and one of my personal favorites is to see them while hiking the trail around the lake at Unicoi State Park.

Located near Helen, Unicoi State Park is a great place for fall hiking.

Trails in the park range from easy to strenuous, and you’re sure to find something there to scratch your hiking itch. But during leaf season it’s hard to beat the Lake Loop Trail, a 2.5mile, family-friendly loop hike that will present you with some beautiful vistas – often with the image reflected in the surface of Unicoi Lake. You can hike the whole thing as a loop (starting at any of several trail access points) or you can hike shorter segments as

in-and-out hikes if time is limited (or if you have very young hikers with you).

A great place to begin this hike is at one of the parking areas near either end of the dam which forms Unicoi Lake. You’ll cross the dam as you drive toward the park’s lodge on Ga. 356.

It’s hard to say which is the best starting point (or, for that matter, whether it’s better to hike the loop clockwise or counterclockwise). But no matter where you start or which way you go, you’ll find that the trail is relatively level.

Another good starting point is at the park’s visitor center, which is located off Campground Road. The trail passes behind the visitor center on its way around the lake.

Again, you can leave your car there and then hike some or all of the loop.

Those with small children may prefer this particular starting point since the visitor center has restrooms and refreshments.

A third popular starting point is at the swimming beach and beach house complex near the upper end of the lake. You’ll want to go down toward the beach to find the trail, which skirts the edge of the beach in this area.

No matter where you start your Lake Loop hike, be sure to check out the floating bridge over the upper end of the lake. There’s just something about a floating bridge that can’t be ignored, and the inner child in you will surely want to cross it. This bridge carries the trail over the lake near

where Smith Creek enters, and (as you’ll see from the number of lures caught in the nearby trees) it’s a popular fishing spot too. A spur trail leads up the creek and eventually connects with a playground and picnic area near the intersection of Campground Road and the road to Anna Ruby Falls.

If you have time, the hike along that spur is a pleasant one.

As you hike the Lake Loop trail in the fall, you’ll appreciate the fishing platforms that are located at several points on your hike. These platforms, designed to provide fishing access, also make great vantage points from which to shoot photos of fall color reflected on the surface of the lake. I especially like the views from the platforms near the dam.

When hiking at Unicoi State Park, don’t forget the day-use parking fee.

Be sure to hang the daily pass so it’s visible in your car.

The Lake Loop is just one of many great fall trails at Unicoi State Park, and I think it’s one you’ll enjoy. It’s scenic – and mostly level!

Learn about other great hiking trails in Unicoi State Park in Steve book HIKING UNICOI, a guide to the trails of Unicoi State Park and Anna Ruby Falls. It’s available at www. chattahoocheemedia. com.

Woodward Academy Intimate, yet worldly. Nurturing, yet academically rigorous. Loving, yet on the cutting edge of technology. Can a school really have it all? We think it has to.

Woodward North is the Johns Creek campus of Woodward Academy. Enrolling pre-K through sixth grade students and located on 33 beautifully wooded acres, it combines the intimacy of home with the resources of our Main Campus. With an average student-teacher ratio of 6:1, everyone from our principal to our school nurse to our beloved teachers is dedicated to caring for our kids every step of the way, while guiding them through a challenging college-preparatory curriculum.

Expertise in science, math, reading, and writing is just the tip of the iceberg at Woodward North. We incorporate our STEM programs throughout the curriculum, preparing our students for success amidst a rapidly changing world.

Students in pre-K through third grade enjoy weekly classes where they are taught foundational skills in technology, robotics and coding as well as general computer skills. Students in fourth through sixth grades take advanced classes in these subjects, with additional emphasis on engineering, design thinking, research, media production, and life skills to encourage and inspire critical thinking, problem-solving, and engaged collaboration. In addition, our Learning labs, MakerSpaces, and our dedicated STEM center known as the “Eaglesphere” are outfitted with the latest technology like BeeBots, SmartBoards, iPads, and other robotics and engineering tools that students use to solve real-world problems.

Educating the whole child means cocurricular programs, athletics, and the arts are a vital part of every student’s educational journey. Programs like our world championship-winning Odyssey of the Mind teams teach students to collaborate, problem-solve, and employ design-thinking to over-

come obstacles and find solutions.

From horseback riding and golf to an array of of other athletic options, every student is active at Woodward. Our arts programs are similarly extensive.

Our students learn skills in music, performance, drawing, painting, and crafts that set them up for a lifetime of creative work.

But all these programs and curricula only mean as much as the community behind them; at Woodward, students are part of a truly diverse community that cultivates strong character and a deep respect for difference. Here, these are more than buzzwords--diversity is our backbone.

Every day, our students bring experiences from a vast array of cultures, ethnicities, religions, races, learning styles, and geographic neighborhoods, which means that every day they learn from peers who are different from them.

We emphasize our global curriculum and service to support civic engagement. Our diversity, service, and global programs create truly compassionate citizens of the world.

Most Woodward North students continue on to Main Campus in seventh grade for a whole new world of opportunities, including our Independent Scientific Research and Global Connections programs. The Academy provides extensive bus transportation, and many students choose to ride MARTA in designated Woodward cars with assigned security officers. A typical Woodward Academy graduating class attends more than 100 different colleges and universities, devotes 5,000 hours to community service, and earns more than $15 million in scholarships. They join an alumni network of 10,000+ and go on to live every version of success as engineers, musicians, professors, business leaders, you name it.

Inspiring Students with the Passion to Excel

To celebrate 20 Years of Loving to Learn at Peachtree Park Prep there were several Alumni events including the 1st ANNUAL “I WAS A PREPPIE” national tee shirt Day. PPP Alumni preschoolers, PREPPIES, are attending high schools from Westminster, Pace Academy, Lovett, Woodward, Weslyan, Kings Ridge, Greater Atlanta Christian, Johns Creek, Northview, Alpharetta, and Norcross.

PPP Alumni are currently attending or have earned degrees from Harvard, Clemson, Georgia Tech, UGA, North Carolina, Duke, Lehigh, Emory, LSU, SCAD, and many more, with several PPP graduate currently working on their PhD and a PPP Alumni obtain a degree at Yale Medical.

Graduates from PPP are elite high school and college athletes, some of them already participating in the NFL and MLB, as well as a PPP graduate in training as a hopeful Olympic competitor. A recent PPP graduate has had photos published in a luxury Atlanta magazine, and the PPP community is following a former graduate “super model” on the international stage.

The accomplishments and achievements tracked and recorded through

20 years of PPP Alumni are outstanding!

The point being two-fold.

The importance of early education and a solid foundation founded and fostered in “Loving to Learn” cannot be over-stated or under appreciated.

Second, the importance of retaining a fabulous faculty with years of dedication and enthusiastic service to students’ early education shows in the students achieving the Love of Learning that will last them a lifetime. These two concepts cannot be separated.

Peachtree Park Prep has received many accolades through the years, but no award is more important and meaningful than hearing about the accomplishments of the students, past and present, and their parents attributing an important part of their success to the early foundation of Loving to Learn that they received at Peachtree Park Prep.

ALPHARETTA 36, JOHNS CREEK 7:

Raiders run over Gladiators to remain perfect in region

By JOE PARKER joe@appenmediagroup.com ALPHARETTA, Ga. — The goal for Alpharetta Friday night against Johns Creek was simple enough — compile 250 yards rushing. Though a straightforward goal, it’s not one easily accomplished no matter the personnel on the offensive line, the backs taking handoffs or the defense on the other side.

But on homecoming night, Alpharetta exceeded its goal by rushing for 275 yards, powering the Raiders to their sixth straight win to remain atop the Region 7-AAAAAA standings.

In his third game back from an injury that kept him sidelined for most of the first half of the season, Nolan Edmonds rushed for 193 yards on 14 carries with three touchdowns. Kevin Watkins added 60 yards and two

scores.

“That’s about as effective as we have run the ball all year,” Alpharetta head coach Jacob Nichols said. “At the half, we said we wanted to establish the run and we were able to do that. I think that took pressure off our guys knowing the mindset that we wanted.”

Leading the charge for Edmonds and Watkins was the Raiders’ offensive line, which Nichols said controlled the line of scrimmage for the second straight week. Alpharetta’s 275 yards

rushing was just 15 short of a program record in a single game.

Quarterback Matthew Downing also had an impressive performance. Downing was 10-14 passing for 116 yards.

But offense will take a team only so far, and the Raiders’ defense was up to the task of facing a Gladiators squad with plenty of firepower.

After giving up a touchdown early in the game for the second straight week, Alpharetta’s defense bounced back to hold Johns Creek to just 167 yards of total offense.

“Sometimes when you need to make amends, you play harder,” Nichols said.

“Our D-line suffocated the quarterback with pressure, and our secondary fulfilled their assignments well and made necessary adjustments,” he said.

The Raiders’ pressure forced seven sacks, with Nick Markus and Jack

Read the Week 9 football recap on NorthFulton.com Stanton accounting for three each.

Meanwhile, the Gladiators had just 13 yards rushing in the game and were held to 2-13 on third down conversions.

With the win, Alpharetta (6-1, 5-0) continued its outright lead in the region standings with three games remaining.

With his team in a solid position to capture a region title, the Raiders’ goal from the outset of the season, Nichols said it’s vital his team maintains its focus.

“We just need to make sure we don’t look ahead and [instead] prepare for the opponent at hand,” he said. “We have done a good job so far at doing that,

State title hopes continue for four local softball teams

By JOE PARKER joe@appenmediagroup.com

the inning with a double, but two strikeouts and a groundout ended their hopes of continuing their season.

Class 6A Dacula over Chatthoochee (8-0, 3-2) For the second straight year, Chattahoochee softball lost its first-round playoff series and dropped the Lady Cougars from contention.

Dacula defeated Hooch in Game 1 after a four-run first inning led to enacting the mercy rule. The Lady Falcons added four more runs through the fourth inning.

The Lady Cougars couldn’t get any offense going against Dacula’s Sydney Boulware who allowed a single hit and struck out seven in five innings.

Game 2 would be much closer, but it would result in another loss for Hooch.

Dacula scored on a fielder’s choice in the top of the first, but Hooch responded with an RBI double and scored on an error to lead 2-1 in the bottom of the inning.

Neither team would have much offensive until the top of the fifth when Dacula hit a two-run home run to take a 3-2 lead.

With their season on the line in the bottom of the seventh, Hooch opened

Cambridge over Lanier (5-4, 11-0) Defending state champions Cambridge are on to the second round after downing Lanier in two games to open the playoffs.

Genevieve Dumas pitched two complete games for the Lady Bears, including a shortened Game 2 in which she gave up just two hits.

In a back-and-forth Game 1, Cambridge trailed 4-3 after Lanier scored three runs off four hits in the top of the sixth.

The Lady Bears still trailed by a run in the bottom of the seventh, but a single from Liz Seymour and two walks loaded the bases with two outs. Down to their final out, Lindsey Smith hit a single to drive in Audrey Smith to tie the game. An error on the subsequent throw to first allowed Luci Allen to score from third and gave Cambridge the dramatic, comeback win.

Game 2 was a blowout ending with the run rule after the fifth inning.

Lindsey Smith went 3-4 with three RBIs and Audrey Smith and Liz Seymour each had two RBIs as Cambridge scored five runs in the second and

Round 2 matchups: • Lambert vs. Brookwood • Parkview vs. South Forsyth • Dalton vs. Cambridge • Mt. de Sales vs. Mount Pisgah fourth innings.

Class A-Private Savannah Christian over King’s Ridge (5-3, 2-5, 3-11) King’s Ridge made its first appearance in the postseason and won its first playoff game, but the Lady Tigers took an early exit after falling to Savannah Christian in the final two games.

King’s Ridge got off to a hot start with Brook Anderson going 4-4 with two runs scored and Hannah Miracle going 2-3 with an RBI to power the Lady Tigers to a 5-3 win in Game 1.

Game 2 featured less offense early, with Savannah leading 1-0 in the top of the fifth, but the game would open up late. Savannah scored five runs in the next three innings to force a decisive Game 3.

Savannah led 2-1 in Game 3, but multiple hits coupled with two throwing errors

from King’s Ridge allowed the Raiders to score nine runs in the top of the fifth.

The Lady Tigers scored two in the bottom of the inning, but it wasn’t enough to keep the game going due to the run-rule.

Mt. de Sales over Fellowship Christian (11-3, 9-1) Fellowship Christian earned its second playoff berth in three years but was eliminated in the first round again after dropping two games to Mount de Sales.

The Lady Cavaliers used 10 hits and four errors from Fellowship Christian in Game 1, powering them to an 11-3 win. Fellowship trailed 4-3 after four innings, but the Lady Cavaliers scores two runs in the bottom of the fifth and five runs off four hits in the bottom of the sixth to end the game by run rule.

In Game 2, Mount de Sales scored six runs in the top of the second with five doubles and a single, allowing them to cruise to the win, also shortened by the run rule.

Fellowship’s lone run came on a Baylor Aycock RBI single in the bottom of the fifth.

Celebrating 10 years of Honoring North Atlanta’s Best Drake House doubles capacity November 9th 2017 • 6pm – 10pm

for helping single moms

By HATCHER HURD hatcher@appenmediagroup.com ROSWELL, Ga. – HomeAid Atlanta and The Drake House celebrated the groundbreaking Oct. 6 of The Drake Village which doubles the capacity of the Roswell nonprofit that helps homeless mothers and their children get back on their feet.

Led by HomeAid Builder Captain Dan O’Dwyer of O’Dwyer Homes, HomeAid made it possible to acquire and renovate two eight-unit apartment buildings on property adjacent to The Drake House.

When complete, the new facility will provide affordable housing and continued programming for an additional 16 Drake House graduate families for up to 24 months.

The total capacity is more than doubling the Drake House campus from 44 beds to 100 beds.

This will be HomeAid’s third project with The Drake House, and O’Dwyer’s second. In 2006, O’Dwyer led a total renovation of two existing eight-unit apartment buildings, the first crisis housing ever offered by The Drake House.

Drake House’s short-term crisis housing keeps intact families in danger of breaking up. The women agree to work while participating in a six-month program to become independent.

The $1.3 million purchase and renovation of the two apartment buildings is the next step in the success program outlined for these displaced women, said Drake House Executive Director Kathy Swahn.

The Drake Village is sort of a graduate school that allows some families to remain in the program longer as they move to stability.

“It also allows the children two more years going to the same schools and keeping the same friends. It is all about creating stability and self-sufficiency for the family,” Swahn said.

Its location on the MARTA bus line

is another plus.

“The Drake Village will allow us to double our capacity and offer extended housing for an additional 24 months to our successful graduates” she said.

Offering an affordable housing option is a godsend to these mothers at a time when market rents are escalating in the community.

“With Drake Village allows our mothers and children to be further stabilized and able to have program support and budget counseling,” said Swahn.

The former chairman of HomeAid, O’Dwyer is passionate about providing homes for people who have nowhere else to go.

“My goal is to save half the price for remodeling,” O’Dwyer told guests at the Drake Village groundbreaking.

“Driving onto the property and seeing those mothers with their children restarting their lives, it makes your heart glad,” O’Dwyer said with tears in his eyes.

“Now these families will be able to take advantage of a designed program to help people get back on their feet,” he said.

O’Dwyer said he is also proud of what HomeAid has been able to do to help.

Founded in 2001, HomeAid Atlanta is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that builds and renovates housing facilities for organizations serving homeless families and individuals in the metro Atlanta area.

HomeAid Atlanta is the designated charity of the Greater Atlanta Home Builders Association, and is a local chapter of HomeAid America, a leading national provider of transitional housing for the temporarily homeless.

In 2015, Vincent Longo of Vincent Longo Custom Builders and HomeAid completed a 1,000-square-foot expansion of The Drake Center, adding a “mom classroom” and teen center.

This polyclinic serves a population of 350,000 people, but currently has no operating room. An operating room would save over 1000 patients annually.

Born and raised in Ghana, West Africa, and orphaned at a very young age when both her parents died from very treatable diseases. At age 15, she moved to the Unites States and became a U.S citizen, still knowing that she would somehow go back to Ghana and give back to those who need it most. In 2012, she founded Earth›s Angels with the dream that she could make a difference in the lives of mothers and babies in impoverished areas all over the world.

Teen loses $800 over Instagram scam ALPHARETTA, Ga. — A 19-year-old contacted police Oct. 6 after he sent $800 cash to a person he met on the photo app Instagram. He had planned to meet in person with the scammer but became suspicious when they never showed up.

The teenager had been contacted by

Region: Continued from Page 30 and I feel confident if we continue, we will be where we want to be.”

The Raiders will take on Cambridge on the road this week. The Bears have put together a three-game win streak and are suddenly in contention for a playoff spot after starting the season 0-5. The Raiders will then face Dunwoody and a Chattahoochee team fighting for its first playoff spot since 2012.

“We need to make sure we don’t take anyone lightly,” Nichols said.

Johns Creek (2-6, 2-4) will need wins in their final two games of the season to have a chance at securing a playoff berth in head coach Matt Helmerich’s debut season. Their two remaining opponents, North Atlanta and Dunwoody, have a combined region record of 5-9.

The teenager was instructed to put the $600 cash into a mailbox on Mid Broadwell Road, and later put another $200 in the same mailbox a day later when asked.

He was then supposed to meet with “steve.miccillo,” but the man never showed up at the agreed-upon address.

When the teenager attempted to contact the person again on Instagram, he was blocked.
