ROSWELL, Ga. — A part-time police officer from Hiram was arrested Oct. 12 after he allegedly traveled to Roswell to engage in sexual acts with a minor.

North Fulton SWAT and the Roswell Police Department caught Abraham Flores Galvan when he arrived at a shopping center on Woodstock Road to meet with what he thought was a 14-year-old girl. The arrest came at the end of a multi-agency undercover operation targeting online predators.

Galvan was employed as a part-time police officer for the Tunnel Hill Police Department, which has been notified of the arrest.

He was charged with obscene internet contact with a child and enticing a child to commit an illegal act.

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

When she got her phone back and ran out of the stall, the male once again blocked her in the bathroom for 20 minutes, police said.

The ex-girlfriend was able to provide one photo of the attack to police.

At no point did the caller state what department he worked for.

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.

Milton works to update its trail system City Council views 3 priority projects

At Monday’s meeting, the Milton City Council approved:

By JOE PARKER joe@appenmediagroup.com MILTON, Ga. — Additions to Milton’s trails system have been stalled due to funding issues for years. But now the city says it has reliable backing sources and plans are moving forward.

A public information meeting was held last week, and at Monday’s City Councill meeting representatives from Kimley-Horn consultants laid out a proposed plan that includes 53 miles of trails through the city.

Current funds in the city’s parks and trails coffer, TSPLOST funds and impact fees have allowed the city to pursue updating and adding to the trail system to the tune of approximately $10 million. The figure does not include potential funds from the Greenspace Bond.

“We now have a more reliable source of funding,” public works director Carter Lucas said. “Federal grants can also be considered as well.”

Those resources could go to three

• Three alcohol beverage licenses to Whitetail Bicycles, Bobby G’s Chicago Eatery and Blue River Tavern.

• An extension of the city’s moratorium on acceptance of applications for developments in the T-6 transect zone within the Deerfield Form Based Code to remove language allowing for residential uses.

• Authorization of a pre-application for a Department of Natural Resources Grant for a bathroom facility at Providence Park.

• Lease agreements with former property owners of 1470, 1480 and 1490 Mayfield Road. The properties were purchased jointly with Alpharetta for a future park. The agreement allows the tenants to live on the property for one year. “golden opportunities” trails presented

by Kimley-Horn at Monday’s meeting.

These primary projects were chosen based on their cost, proximity to existing trails and their accessibility to regional trail systems, such as the Big Creek Greenway and Alpharetta Loop.

The three include a Crabapple Loop, Central Milton Trails and Deerfield Connectors.

The two-mile Crabapple Loop could run from Freemanville Road through Milton High School by Northwestern Middle before connecting at Mayfield Road near the Milton Library and Crabapple Village. The trail would include

one mile of greenway paths and one mile of sidewalks along roads or “sidepaths.”

With the sidewalk projects along Mayfield Road, the trail would connect with Milton and Alpharetta’s future joint park space along Mayfield that was acquired in August.

The Central Milton Trails, the longest of the primary projects at 5.9 miles, would run from Birmingham Falls Elementary to Summit Hill Elementary. With completed sidewalks along Providence Road, the trail would connect to Providence Park at its southern border.

Two miles of greenway paths and 3.6 miles of gravel road, or shared-use equestrian trails, would add to the 1.7 miles of sidewalk paths.

The 3.8-mile Deerfield Connector would include Cambridge High School at the north, then running along Cogburn Road and turning onto Webb Road.

There would also be the potential to create a loop along Ga. 9.

The Deerfield Connector would be comprised solely of sidewalk trails.

Lucas said residents will see some of the city’s existing trails come to fruition when the Mayfield Road sidewalk project moves forward and newer sidewalks are installed along Cogburn Road and Webb Road. He said sidewalk trails are a focus in intersection development, including the Charlotte Drive extension now in the works.

“You’ve already started to see the beginnings of trail sections in some areas,” Lucas said. “The 53 total miles (in Kimley-Horn’s proposed plan) are a long way down the road, but certain elements are coming into play right now.”

For the regional connections, Lucas said the city will need to coordinate with Alpharetta. But, he added, “they have always been on board with us.”

That cooperation includes a study conducted by both cities and the North Fulton Community Improvement Dis-

The homes all sold in days for fantastic prices.

Nov 2, 2016 ★★★★★ by Drew E. Michael helped me sell one home and buy a new one at the same time. He was referred to us and we had some reluctance with an unknown agent, but what a pleasure! He got us the right buyer at the right price, and helped us find the perfect fixer upper opportunity.

MILTON, Ga. — Early voting has begun for the Nov. 7 general election, and with it comes the first look at campaign contributions for the two contested races in Milton.

Four seats are up for grabs this year, with incumbent Mayor Joe Lockwood squaring off with Laura Rencher.

Laura Bentley is challenging District 2, Post 1 incumbent Bill Lusk. Planning Commission chair Peyton Jamison is running uncontested for District 1, Post 1, the seat currently held by Karen Thurman. Incumbent Joe Longoria will run uncontested for the District 3, Post 1 seat.

For the first reporting period of the election cycle, the seat contested by Bentley and Lusk has garnered the most contributions.

Bentley has received nearly $13,000 in cash contributions with nearly $1,700 worth of contributions under $100.

Though Lusk’s campaign has taken in over $12,000, nearly 80 percent of that money has been Lusk’s own contributions to his war chest. The campaign has received $1,200 in outside donations.

In the mayoral race, Mayor Lockwood has taken in over $13,000 more than his challenger, but their cash

Total campaign contributions as of Oct. 6.

Mayor • Joe Lockwood: $16,898 • Laura Rencher: $3,673.06 District 2, Post 1 • Laura Bentley: $20,434.26 • Bill Lusk: $12,800 District 1, Post 1 • Peyton Jamison: $17,600 contributions from supporters reveal a much closer gap.

Lockwood has received $5,500 in cash donations while Rencher has garnered $3,673. Through the first period of the election cycle, Rencher’s grassroots campaign has received 60 percent of donations under $100.

Though Jamison is running uncontested, his campaign has received $12,600 in cash donations.

Running uncontested, Longoria has signed an affidavit of exemption. Under the affidavit, Longoria has sworn that he does not plan to receive or spend more than $2,500 during the election cycle.

If his contributions or expenditures exceed that amount, he is required to submit a campaign contribution disclosure report.

Sep 2, 2016 ★★★★★ by Chris W. Due to many corporate relocations, we have had the opportunity to work with lots of real estate agents over the years. No one compares to Mike Stevens. He sold our Crooked Creek home in 1 day and at a record price.

Mike is truly ‘Best in Class.’ He goes above and beyond the call of duty to get the deal done. His expertise and integrity are unmatched.

Milton is seeking to expand its existing trails system by over 50 miles.

Trails: Continued from Page 4 trict in 2014 for potential connections to the Big Creek Greenway.

Though the city does have a connection with the trail – sidewalks running from Windward Parkway to Marconi Drive to the trailhead – Lucas said Milton seeks to provide a “better experience

SPECIAL

for the user” in its potential network.

But in order to do that, the city must evaluate how it would address a connection with a proposed widening of Ga. 9, as well as crossing Ga. 400.

According to the city’s 2016 Community Transportation Plan survey, residents are ready for the city to do just that. Walking and biking trails ranked as the second most important transportation issue, right behind vehicular travel.

I heard my wife’s news alert go off about 2 a.m. to say a gunman had killed at least two people in Las Vegas. I barely shrugged and turned over to go back to sleep.

When I turned HATCHER HURD on the TV that Executive Editor hatcher@appenmediagroup.com morning, it was more than 20 dead, and by the time I got to work it was more than 40 murdered.

Of course the news feeds kept up the running score and filled in the sketchy details about a lone wolf shooter. There were precious few details, but there seemed to be an endless loop of the staccato gunshots pouring down on the crowd of helpless concert-goers.

I suppose it was in the evening of that first day that I heard the first politician say that it was “too early” to talk about gun control measures. That is what “they” always say after another senseless gun tragedy.

That is what they said after 32 were shot and killed April 16, 2007, on the campus of Virginia Tech in Blacksburg, Virginia.

We don’t know why he did it. And it is a quite low probability that we will ever discover a motive for this.

But that does not stop the media from milking every last ounce from it.

It is sickening to see a week after this tragedy they still open with photos and film clips of people fleeing in the terror of that night and having victims relive the last moments of loved ones.

And still they play the rat-a-tat-tat of the sniper’s firing. Enough.

It has passed the point of reportage and into the realm of simple exploitation. Quit feeding the beast and move on.

Milton High students donated nearly 800 cases of water in just two weeks. The donations were led by Liz Banks, athletic director Gary Sylvestri and the school’s Parent Teacher Organization.

Milton School High pitches in for Hurricane Maria relief efforts School collects nearly 800 cases of bottled water

By JOE PARKER joe@appenmediagroup.com MILTON, Ga. — Milton High School mom Liz Blanks anxiously awaited to hear from her family in Puerto Rico after Hurricane Maria devastated the U.S. territory on Sept. 20. With the destruction at catastrophic levels on the island, an update on her family’s safety wouldn’t come for more than a week after Maria made landfall.

The good news was her family, which includes her parents, siblings and cousins, were safe. The bad news was they would be dealing with what Banks called “years before there is any sense of normalcy.”

With the ravages to the island, Banks said her family was dealing with many things we take for granted. The clean water they wait in long lines to receive is used for drinking and cooking.

To clean clothes and bathe, they have

been forced to collect rainwater.

So Banks, Milton athletic director Gary Sylvestri and the school’s Parent Teacher Organization put out on social media that the school would be accepting water donations. The water would be shipped directly to the territory with Marietta restaurant Buen Provecho providing a cargo plane.

Word quickly spread, and when donations were tallied on Oct. 13, the last day of contributions, the school had gathered nearly 800 cases of clean, bottled water. The collection effort included four weekdays where the school was not in session.

“We put the word out and suddenly it was 100 cases, the next day it was 200, and it just kept growing from there,” Sylvestri said.

Blanks said she had received donations all the way from Chicago, Connecticut and Delaware.

So while Puerto Rico continues to deal with the cleanup and challenges presented by Maria, the Milton community has shown its support for the island’s residents, Blanks said.

The water donations will be shipped this week.

SCHOOLS

Parents eager for more information on STEM campus

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 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

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 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.

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

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.

There are police agencies that provide training through another national organization called radKIDS, which teaches children how to recognize,

Approval Expires 08.28.2018

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.

Neal, and her husband, David, set out to learn more about the subject.

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.

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 results of that study are being presented by their researcher next month at the annual conference of the American Public Health Association.

The Neals have relied heavily on word of mouth to schedule programs at schools, civic organizations and other groups who deal with youth.

They charge a fee to most groups, but they also receive grant funding for other presentations.

Neal said the training at Fickett Elementary was made possible by a Fulton Community Services Program grant that allows the nonprofit to reach economically disadvantaged children whose parents cannot afford to pay tuition.

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.

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.

We Live and Work Here Just Like You.

Cybersecurity: Are you at risk?

Recently, it seems like a new security breach or hack is reported every other day. It’s likely that you or someone you know has had their private financial information exposed to potential criminals in one form or another. If you haven’t already, now is the time to make sure your online information is secure.

Start with your current accounts; use the most up-to-date authentication available and change your passwords to a complex series of letters, number, and symbols. Regularly monitor your credit and debit card transactions and activity. Most experts will recommend freezing your credit with all three credit bureaus. That will ensure that no one can open a new account, credit card or loan for themselves with your personal information.

Be wary of emails that ask you to verify personal information. Most companies will not ask you to do this with an email. Also, don’t click on any links within an unfamiliar email. Criminals can create phishing emails that look very real and use logos and language that try to trick you into believing they are authentic.

If you receive a suspicious email, check out what time it was sent (3 a.m. is unusual), who it was sent to (your name listed in a group with similar names and emails), and closely review the sender’s email address. Unless you were expecting an email with attachment, don’t click to open the attachment until you’ve verified the sender

Also, if there are misspellings in the email that could be a sign it’s fraudulent. Be cautious on the phone too. If you receive a phone call asking you to verify personal information, hang up and call that financial institution directly.

To help fight fraud, the IRS and Social Security Administration allow you to set up your own account with verified password. This might help to ensure that no one is using your name to fill out a return or change benefits with stolen personal information.

SOUTH FORSYTH 21, MILTON 13:

South Forsyth captures crucial region win over Milton

By JOE PARKER joe@appenmediagroup.com MILTON, Ga. — South Forsyth head coach Jeff Arnette said his team is right where he wants them to be after downing Milton 21-13 — controlling their own destiny.

South (7-0, 2-0) set a program mark for the best start to a season in program history and now sits atop the Region 5-AAAAAAA standings with North Forsyth.

“It was a great victory for us,” Arnette said. “It was hard fought, but it was a win.”

It was also a tale of two halves for Milton (5-2, 1-1) who struggled on both sides of the ball in the first half but came out for a fight in the second.

South’s defense held Milton to just 37 yards in the first half while its offense put up three rushing touch-

downs, two from Jared Honey and one from quarterback Cal Morris.

Milton’s only real success in the first half came off a Lucas Moore blocked punt. Moore picked up the loose ball and scampered in for the first score of the game four minutes in.

“We talked about facing adversity and overcoming changes before the game, and the first that happens is they get a blocked punt and score,” Arnette said. “Our kids showed resiliency.”

“We played unreal in that first half,” he said.

Though they had a lackluster performance in the first half, Milton wasn’t ready to let South run away with the game.

Milton came out in the third quarter with an onside kick attempt. South recovered, but Milton showed from the

WEEK 9 (OCT. 13) FOOTBALL RECAP

Cambridge wins third straight

By JOE PARKER joe@appenmediagroup.com

Class 6A Cambridge 17, Northview 10 After an 0-5 start to the season, Cambridge won its third straight by downing Northview on Friday.

With the Bears’ scoring usually coming from its passing game, Friday night was the running backs’ turn to find the end zone. Matt McCree put the Bears up 7-0 early in the first with a 39-yard touchdown, and Evan Kuykendall’s 1-yard rush proved to be the game-winning score early in the third.

Northview tied the game at 10 with under two minutes remaining in the second quarter, but Cambridge’s defense, which has allowed just 11 points per game in their win streak, held the Titans scoreless in the second half.

Alpharetta 36, Johns Creek 7 Alpharetta earned its sixth straight win and remained unbeaten in region play with a lopsided win over Johns Creek Friday night.

Johns Creek took an early lead with a 24-yard touchdown pass on its opening possession, but that would be the Gladiators’ only score. Johns Creek was held to under 150 total yards in the game.

Alpharetta’s rushing game proved vital in the win. Nolan Edmonds and Kevin Watkins combined for over 250 yards rushing. Edmonds scored three touchdowns, while Watkins put up two of his own, his first putting the Raiders in the lead for good in the second quarter.

Centennial 45, North Atlanta 0 Centennial won its fifth straight game Friday night, dominating a struggling North Atlanta team.

Knights’ quarterback Max Brosmer threw four touchdowns in the win, three to Blane Mason, while Julian Nixon also scored two touchdowns.

Centennial opened a 31-0 halftime lead and cruised to victory in the second half.

The Knights’ defense posted the program’s first shutout since 2010.

Class 4A Blessed Trinity 41, Chestatee 14 Blessed Trinity was up 14-0 less

Read the entire Week 9 recap on NorthFulton.com than four minutes into their Region 7-AAAA tilt against Chestatee. By the end of the first half, second-team players were getting playing time.

BT scored 24 points in the second quarter and cruised to their second straight blowout region win.

The Titans scored all five touchdowns on the ground. Steele Chambers scored twice, and Elijah Green, Quinton Reese and Ryan DuPoint all added touchdowns.

The Titans are outscoring region opponents 91-28 this season.

Class A-Private Fellowship Christian 41, Pinecrest Academy 0 After dropping their last two games in heartbreaking fashion, Fellowship Christian made sure it avoided another close loss with a dominating performance over winless Pinecrest Friday night.

Fellowship opened a 28-0 lead in the final minute of the second quarter and added insurance in the second half to improve to 2-3 in region play.

Pinecrest is still winless through seven games in Terence Mathis’ debut season.

St. Francis 34, King’s Ridge 14 King’s Ridge was seeking its first back-to-back wins since 2013 but fell short against St. Francis who was desperate for a win.

Entering the third quarter, the game was tied 7-7. But things would open up in the second, starting with the first play.

St. Francis quarterback Sam Hines connected with Pop Jones for a 55-yard touchdown. The PAT would be blocked, allowing King’s Ridge to pull ahead 1413 later in the quarter.

Hines found the end zone on the ground and Jones scored on an 83yard reception to put the Knights up 26-14.

Midway through the fourth, St. Francis added a safety, and a 65-yard touchdown rush from Sean Paradise sealed the win with a minute remaining.

SOFTBALL PLAYOFFS RECAP:

SPORTS

State title hopes continue for four local softball teams

By JOE PARKER joe@appenmediagroup.com

Class 7A Lambert over Mill Creek (2-3, 2-1, 1-0) Lambert advanced to the second round of the state playoffs after downing Mill Creek, last year’s state runner up, in three games.

Lambert dropped Game 1 after an RBI double in the top of the seventh proved to be the difference in Mill Creek’s 3-2 win.

In Game 2, Lambert got their own seventh-inning heroics.

With the game tied at 1-1, Kassidy Krupit hit a two-out double. Allie Sewell would be brought in as a courtesy runner for Krupit and scored on a Lindsey Nelson single to right field.

Krupit, who pitched a complete game for the Lady Longhorns, then sealed the win by forcing three straight outs in the bottom of the seventh.

Krupit got the start again in Game 3, throwing another complete game.

Krupit allowed seven hits and struck out three in seven innings.

Game 3 featured a pitching duel.

Lambert only managed four hits in the game, but once again it was Krupit proving to be the difference.

Her lead off home-run on the second pitch of the game was the only run in Lambert’s 1-0 win.

Collins Hill over Forsyth Central (3-2, 6-2) After making its first playoff appearance since 2013, Forsyth Central took an early exit after being swept by Collins Hill in the first round of the state playoffs.

Central led 1-0 on a wild pitch in Game 1, but Collins Hill would plate three runners in the fifth and sixth inning to lead 3-1. In the top of the seventh, the Lady Bulldogs put a runner on thanks to a Collins Hill error before Sadie Waters hit a single to drive in a run.

With the tying runner on first with two outs, a strikeout ended Central’s hopes for a comeback win as they fell 3-2.

In Game 2, Collins Hill took an early lead with a home run off Central starter Bailey McCachren. Central would take a 2-1 lead in the bottom of the fourth on a Waters triple.

The home run ball would cost Central in the top of the fifth when Collins Hill hit a two-run shot to reclaim the lead. After scoring a run in the sixth, another two-run home run put the Eagles up 6-2.

Three straight ground outs from Central in the bottom of the seventh ended the Lady Bulldogs season.

North Gwinnett over North Forsyth (6-1, 9-4) North Forsyth gave up 19 hits to North Gwinnett in their two-game series last Thursday, ending the Lady Raiders’ season.

North Gwinnett’s Chandler Dennis struck out 11 in her win in Game 1.

All six of North Gwinett’s runs came in the bottom of the second with six hits, including a two-run home run.

Game 2 saw North Forsyth attempt to come back after surrendering an early lead, but their bid was too little too late.

North Gwinnett scored nine runs through the top of the fifth inning, including five extra-base hits.

The Lady Raiders would plate four runners in the bottom of the fifth on an RBI double from Abby Martin, a passed ball and a sacrifice fly, but it would be the last of their offense as they fell 9-4.

South Forsyth over Mountain View (5-4, 3-2) South Forsyth is on to the second round again after winning two close contests against Mountain View in last Thursday’s doubleheader.

South trailed 4-3 in the bottom of the eighth inning when Makenna Segal hit a solo home run to tie the game with two out.

In the bottom of the ninth, South loaded the bases with two outs for Jordyn Harris. A single from Harris drove in the winning run.

In Game 2, South jumped out to an early 2-0 lead in the first inning, but Mountain View tied the game with two straight RBI doubles in the fourth.

The score remained 2-2 until the bottom of the seventh.

Morgan Kilmer opened the half inning with a single. She was at third when an attempted pick-off from Mountain View’s catcher went past third base, allowing Kilmer to score the walk-off run.

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.

Round 2 matchups: • Lambert vs. Brookwood • Parkview vs. South Forsyth • Dalton vs. Cambridge • Mt. de Sales vs. Mount Pisgah 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 the inning with a double, but two strikeouts and a groundout ended their hopes of continuing their season.

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 fourth innings.

Class 4A Madison Co. over Blessed Trinity (6-0, 5-0) Blessed Trinity found itself on the wrong end of a first-round sweep for the second straight year after being shutout

in two games by Madison County.

Madison scored all six of their Game 1 runs in the second inning, and BT committed five errors in the game, allowing the Red Raiders to take the win off just two hits.

In Game 2, Madison scored consistently to open a 5-0 lead after six innings, the final score.

BT’s pitching staff allowed 11 runs, while the Lady Titans had five hits.

Hanley Lomax went 3-3 in the loss.

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.

NORTH ATLANTA HAIR RESTORATION

MILTON, Ga. — Milton resident Jasmine Stewart placed first among some 40 finalists on the television show MasterChef Junior and will showcase her talents this week at the Milton Library.

Stewart will host a cooking demonstration followed by a meet and greet from 3-4:30 p.m. Oct. 21.

Stewart competed against some 5,000 children from across the country auditioning for the show. She took top honors in the finals.

Stewart,13, is in seventh grade at the Ron Clark Academy, and some of her many hobbies include biking, gardening, reading and, of course, cooking.

She was introduced to cooking by her parents at the age of 3.

For the audition, Stewart was asked a few questions about herself and was then told to cook an egg. When she made it past the auditions and onto the MasterChef Junior showdown, she focused on being herself and sticking to recipes she was comfortable with.

“It was really cool to work with the judges because these are people you see on TV. The experience was amazing, it was really fun to be on set and to work with other students that love to do what I love to do,” Stewart said.

For her efforts, Stewart won a large trophy along with $100,000. Since the

... The experience was amazing, it was really fun to be on set and to work with other students that love to do what I love to do.”

JASMINE STEWART MasterChef Junior winner, Milton resident show, she has been busy with interviews and new projects that have taken her to New York and Los Angeles. She was featured multiple times in the new MasterChef cookbook, and she has appeared in a few magazines.

Both Fulton County and the City of Milton recognized Stewart with a proclamation, and Milton declared July 24 Jasmine Stewart Appreciation Day. In the future, Stewart wants to be a television chef. She is currently working on her own cookbook.

“I want to find a way to use my platform to combine cooking and fashion,” Stewart said.

She can be found on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter at justchefjasmine.

Milton: Continued from Page 30 get-go it wasn’t going to roll over.

Six minutes later, Milton was back on the scoreboard after Solomon Vanhorse broke a tackle, cut to his right to find running room and scooted into the end zone to cut South’s lead to 21-13.

After Milton’s defense forced a punt, the Eagles were once again within striking distance on South’s 27-yard line facing fourth-and-1. Quarterback Jordan Yates got the call for a quarterback sneak, but South’s defense got the push they needed to keep Yates at the line of scrimmage.

Milton’s defense, which held South to 86 yards in the second half, got a fourth down stop of their own on South’s ensuing drive.

An interception from South’s Jake

Wilson would end that drive with four minutes remaining.

Milton had the ball back with under two minutes left when Yates hit Dash Hairston for a 30-yard pass to South’s 25-yard line. After coming up with a huge reception, Hairston couldn’t bring in an over the shoulder pass on the next play.

Three straight incompletions turned the ball over on downs with 1:17 left.

Milton used its two remaining timeouts and forced a punt, but when they were back on offense they had just 10 seconds to work with, needing a score and 2-point conversion to keep their hopes alive.

Yates completed a pass to Hairston to the South 45-yard line and spiked the ball with one second remaining.

Milton’s hook and ladder on the final play would fall short at the 30-yard line.

Though his team didn’t have the “unreal” performance of the first half,

The Metropolitan Club hosts annual fundraiser Wednesday October 25th North Georgia’s annual fundraiser, a luncheon and fashion show, benefits single moms at Lanier Tech and other service projects. This year’s event will be held on Wednesday, October 25th, at The Metropolitan Club in Alpharetta. The theme this year is “Celebrating 100 Years of Service” and will feature the latest in fashion by Chico’s.

Altrusa is an international, volunteer service organization of business and professional leaders, dedicated to improving communities world-wide through personal service. The word Altrusa is a combination of the words Altruism and USA. It is currently organized into fourteen districts consisting of 446 clubs in 19 countries. Members unite their varied talents in service to others, achieving as a group what individuals cannot do alone. Last year, Altrusans proudly gave over a million volunteer hours around the world.

The North Georgia Club was chartered on August 19, 2005 and has been actively making a difference in North Georgia since that time. Although the North Georgia club supports many different organizations and populations in the greater North Georgia area, two key focus areas are literacy and children’s issues. Our service projects have included Jesse’s House, Bald Ridge Lodge, The Place, Family Haven, Wee Books in Dawsonville, Literacy Forsyth and many others. The Club has given $36,000 in Scholarships to deserving Single Moms at Lanier Tech.

The North Georgia club meets on the second Tuesday of each month, 12:00 noon at Tam’s Backstage in Cumming. For more information on Altrusa www.altrusa.org www. districtthree.altrusa.org.

The fact our guys were able to regroup and come back and play a phenomenal second half is phenomenal in regards to their grit.”

ADAM CLACK Milton head coach Arnette said he was pleased with his team’s gutsy play.

“In the second half we kept having to go out there and get stops,” he said.

“Defensively, we kept finding a way to get off the field.”

Milton head coach Adam Clack also praised in his team’s performance in the second half.

“They came out and took it to us in the first half,” Clack said. “The fact our guys were able to regroup and come back and play a phenomenal second half is phenomenal in regards to their grit.”

Clack said the preparation for their game against South was not where it needed to be, but they have three more regular season games to improve.

“This team is still growing, and we have a lot of games in front of us,” he said. “I still have all the confidence in the world in this football team.”

South will look to improve its fortunes to 8-0 this week against North Forsyth (5-2, 2-0) in the Civil War. “We have another dogfight ahead of us,” Arnette said.

Milton will face a winless Forsyth Central (0-7, 0-2) on the road.

Blotter: Continued from Page 2

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 an Instagram account named “steve. miccillo,” who said that he could turn an investment of $600 into “much more.”

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.

Suspect steals $1,100 in clothing ALPHARETTA, Ga. — Alpharetta police were called to the Victoria’s Secret store in North Point Mall Oct. 1 after a manager realized that $1,100 in clothing was missing from their inventory.

The manager was able to find store footage showing a young man, who appeared to be in his late teens, enter the store at 2 p.m. and allegedly steal the items. The clothing included 10 crop tops, seven pairs of pants and nine bralettes.

The suspect was described as wear-

ing grey pants, black and white sneakers, and a black and white Jordan shirt with a logo on the front. According to the footage, the suspect pulled the

items from the racks in the corner of the store and put them in a green plastic bag with the word “Focus” on it that he had pulled out of his pants.
