ROSWELL, Ga. — A 67-year-old woman who was kidnapped Oct. 19 was found the same day with non-life threatening injuries. The woman, who works at a jewelry store on East Crossville Road, left the building at 10 p.m. and was kidnapped at gunpoint by four masked suspects. “As soon as she walked out the door, they ambushed her and attacked her,” said Roswell Public Information

2 apartments burgled in the same subdivision MILTON, Ga. — Two separate burglaries were reported on the same day Oct. 17 in an apartment complex on Deer Trail. The first burglary was reported at 8:10 a.m., when a man returned home and found that the door was locked with a deadbolt. The deadbolt must be locked by someone from the inside, and the man was the last to leave the apartment that morning. When the man walked to the back of the apartment, he found that the patio door was ajar. Inside, the television was moved, drawers had been rummaged through and a window was opened. The window, according to the police report, was the likely point of entry. In all,

Officer Lisa Holland. “They started hitting her, tied her up and threw her in the back of the van.” A person still inside the store saw the incident and immediately called 911. “Officers responded within 30 seconds,” said Holland. “Fortunately, we happened to be right there.” Police spotted the van fleeing from the area and pursued it toward Holcomb Bridge Road. When police attempted to stop the van, it crashed into a nearby tree. The driver and three others fled on foot. Only one of the suspects was caught and arrested. He was identified as 28-year-old Juan Knight. $2,000-worth of items were missing, including a laptop, jewelry box and wallet. At noon the same day, a woman also reported that someone had broken into her apartment. The doors and windows had been locked before she left that morning. When she returned, the door was unlocked and $4,000-worth of electronics was missing, including a television, laptop and computer. According to the police report, the door was pried open.

Man arrested for groping 3 minors ROSWELL, Ga. — A Woodstock man was arrested Oct. 12 on child molestation and sexual battery charges. Three separate families reported that the 23-year-old man, Jacob Shepherd, inappropriately touched their children at the Super Target on Woodstock Road. Shepherd allegedly approached and groped the three minors around 5:30 p.m.

There in lies the rub â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the clinical challenge of floppy eyelids. By Kiran Sajja, M.D.

Kiran Sajja, MD.

Cosmetic Plastic Surgeon

Floppy Eyelid Syndrome (FES) can be a very difficult condition to treat in your practice. FES is characterized by the classic triad of obesity, an elastic-like upper eyelid that can be easily everted with minimal eyelid traction, and a variable chronic papillary conjunctivitis of the upper palpebral conjunctiva. The condition is associated with obstructive sleep apnea and linked to keratoconus.

The exact cause of FES is unknown, however, several studies have demonstrated decreased levels of elastin within the tarsal plate. This likely results in poor eyelid apposition between the lax eyelid and the globe resulting in mechanical conjunctival and corneal irritation. Several studies suggest chronic eyelid eversion may cause mechanical trauma to the tarsus. Patients may note nonspecific irritation, foreign body sensation, mucoid discharge, dryness, tearing, redness, photosensitivity, and eyelid swelling. On examination, patients with FES may present with eyelid ptosis, dermatochalasis, and ectropion. Conservative methods of treatment include the use of lubricants to manage ocular surface irritation, topical antiinflammatories/steroids to address episodes of conjunctival inflammation and chemosis, and patching/shielding to prevent eyelid eversion. A trial of an oral tetracycline is appropriate, especially in patients with meibomian gland dysfunction. Surgical methods of treatment should be reserved for patients with persistent symptoms despite use of conservative remedies. The intervention should be catered to the constellation of symptoms. Significant lower eyelid laxity can be addressed with horizontal eyelid shortening or lateral permanent tarsorrhaphy. Upper eyelid laxity can be addressed with eyelid ptosis repair (specifically Mullerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Muscle - Conjunctival Resection in patients with significant mucoid discharge), full-thickness wedge resection, or upper blepharoplasty. Floppy eyelid syndrome is a difficult condition to treat, but early, prompt recognition and diagnosis will improve patient care and adherence to treatment. I am happy to discuss difficult cases that arise in your clinical practice and offer any insight in the care of your patients. I appreciate your referral of patients and I look forward to managing these complex cases together.

DeKalb allegations include exchanging nude photos with victim when age 13 TUCKER, Ga. – The DeKalb County Police Special Victims Unit arrested Oct. 20 Roswell City Councilman Kent Igleheart, 53, following an investigation involving inappropriate sexual relations alleged by a 17-year-old female victim. Investigators say there may be more underage victims. DeKalb detectives say they have determined Igleheart has maintained an online relationship with the victim since she was about 13-years-old. During that time frame Igleheart is alleged to have engaged in inappropriate online conversations and the exchange of nude photographs with the minor child. They also say Igleheart consummated sexual activity with the girl earlier this year. Detectives conducted an undercover sting. Igleheart rented a hotel room at the Days Inn on Northlake Parkway to meet up with the now 17-year-old victim. When he arrived to meet the victim he was met instead by police and taken into custody. The investigation showed Igleheart began contact with the girl four years ago on the app Kik. It soon evolved into the swapping of intimate photos. Bond was set at $30,000 last Friday for Igleheart. “We will not tolerate these types of crimes against our children. The protection of our children is a priority.

This is an example of the extraordinary work of our Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Unit,” said DeKalb County Public Safety Director Cedric Alexander. A search warrant was served at the hotel IGLEHEART room and his residence. An additional search warrant was served at his place of business in Roswell the following day. Igleheart is in custody in the DeKalb County Jail charged with sexual exploitation of a child, enticing a child

for indecent purposes and furnishing alcohol to a minor. This is an ongoing investigation with the potential of additional victims, DeKalb police say. In an ironic twist, the Rotary Club of Roswell conducted its Roswell Oktoberfest this past weekend as a fundraiser for the nonprofit End Human Trafficking Now. The program seeks to end the sexual exploitation of children and young women. In a statement released by Roswell Mayor Jere Wood he said: “The City of Roswell takes the conduct of its elected officials seriously. They are held to the highest of standards. If the allegations against Councilman Kent Igleheart are true, the Mayor and Council will take the appropriate action per the City Charter.” With the mayor scheduled to be away, and two other councilmen with excused absences Monday night, the council meeting was cancelled, The city may make up the meeting Monday Oct. 31. Should he also be absent from the meeting, Roswell City Attorney David Davidson said council members will elect one of their members to preside over the meeting. Davidson also said Council Mike Palermo had asked for an excused absence Monday night so a bare minimum of four is expected to make quorum. It is within the City Council’s purview to vote a councilmember off the council for cause such as moral turpitude. If a councilmember has three or more unexcused absences from called council meetings, that can be grounds for dismissal as well. – Hatcher Hurd, Julia Grochowski

FBI arrests 5 in Alpharetta for human trafficking International FBI operation rescues dozens of minors By JULIA GROCHOWSKI julia@appenmediagroup.com ALPHARETTA, Ga. — Five suspects were arrested Oct. 14-15 in Alpharetta on pimping and human trafficking-related charges as part of an international effort by the FBI to crack down on underage human trafficking. Police units from Alpharetta, Roswell and Johns Creek participated with the FBI in making the local arrests. The operation, called Cross Country X, resulted in 239 traffickers and their associates arrested and 82 minors rescued across America, the FBI announced Oct. 18. The crackdown was spearheaded by the FBI along with representatives from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children and several law enforcement partners. According to an FBI press release, Operation Cross Country X is the largest ever in the history of the initiative, with 55 FBI field offices, 74 Child Ex-

The suspects include: • Tracy Smith, 30, of Garland, WYNN Texas; • Dujuan Walker, 35, of Marietta; • Natasha Smith, 28, of Covington; • Michael Karp, 55, of Woodstock; • Anthony Wynn, 45, of Atlanta. The five were arrested within city limits, but police cannot yet reveal the details of the locations as the FBI investigation is still ongoing and could yield more results. The wider operations took place across several states in hotels, truck stops and street corners, according to the FBI report. The undercover operations that led to the five arrests were conducted after finding online posts advertising escorts on sites such as Craigslist and Backpage. The first arrests was Oct. 14 when police took into custody Tracy Smith, also known as “Paper T.” At 10 p.m., the Alpharetta Police Department along

We should crush that record,” Barron said. “Of course there were only six early voting sites in the whole county for that election.” The Fulton Commission since then has made a concerted effort to reduce the long lines traditionally associated with early voting. Barron said it was a three-prong plan: • Adding the additional polling places throughout Fulton, • Extending the timeline of early voting which is ongoing now through Nov. 4.

PAR

NORTH FULTON – Maybe it’s because folks are worried about long lines in this year’s presidential election. Or maybe they just want to turn off all the election chatter on TV and other media. But whatever the reason, Fulton County has taken to early voting in a big way. Nearly 50,000 voters cast ballots in just the first three days of early voting in Fulton County. North Fulton alone had 12,315 votes cast early for the Nov.8 election. Fulton Director of Elections and Registration Rick Barron said he expects 400,000 to 450,000 votes to be cast out of 550,000 registered voters. That would be a turnout of more than 80 percent. Fulton has received some 7,000 absentee ballots as well and received 20,000 requests for absentee applications. “We expect 270,000 people to vote early, and it may be as many as 300,000 voters,” Barron said. Early voting will continue until Nov. 4. “If we can get those kind of [early voting] numbers, it will really help us on Election Day,” he said. Early voting got a real shot in the arm from the Fulton County Board of Commissioners which has substantially beefed up early voting. Early voting runs 19 days for this election, and each Fulton Commission District has four polling places. For those looking for the fourth polling place in District 1, it

secure. The fact that we have supervised every election since I have been here in 2000 without an issue speaks for itself,” Barron said. “Having worked in elections for 17 years, it is hard to listen to someone denigrate the validity of the election process. This process is what we are all about. But we are so focused on everything that goes into the elections right now that we don’t pay any attention to all that chatter.”

Woman kidnapped at gunpoint found safe 1 suspect arrested, police looking for 3 more By JULIA GROCHOWSKI julia@appenmediagroup.com ROSWELL, Ga. — A 67-year-old woman who was kidnapped Oct. 19 was found the same day with non-life threatening injuries. The woman, who works at a jewelry store on East Crossville Road, left the building at 10 p.m. and was kidnapped at gunpoint by four masked suspects. “As soon as she walked out the door, they ambushed her and attacked her,” said Roswell Public Information Officer Lisa Holland. “They started hitting her, tied her up and threw her in the back of the van.” A person still inside the store saw the incident and immediately called 911. “Officers responded within 30 seconds,” said Holland. “Fortunately, we happened to be right there.” Police spotted the van fleeing from the area and pursued it toward

Holcomb Bridge Road. When police attempted to stop the van, it crashed into a nearby tree. The driver and three others fled on foot. Only one of the suspects was caught and arrested. Police cannot release the arrested suspect’s name or age at this time. The injured woman was found in the back of the van and was transported to the hospital. Her injuries are not life-threatening. The van used in the kidnapping was later found to be stolen from a resident in Cobb County. Officers continued to search the area for the remaining three suspects, along with the help of an Atlanta police helicopter, but they were unable to locate them. The investigation is ongoing. Anyone with information about the suspects or the incident is urged to contact Crime Stoppers Atlanta at 404-577-8477. Return to northfulton. com for updates.

With the third and final debate now behind us, and political vitriol spreading like wildfire, it’s no wonder why so many Americans have become apathetic about the election process RAY APPEN and, alarmingly, Publisher ray@appenmediagroup.com may cease to vote at all. Struggling to find answers about how our “Land of Opportunity” has somehow become overshadowed by negative and controversial rhetoric, it was a random Facebook post on Monday night that sparked a revelation within me, and I hope you, too. Bright eyes and a beaming grin stared at me from Facebook’s blue and white screen as Alpharetta resident, Kenan Sener, gleefully posted a photo of himself smiling, proudly pointing to his “I am a Georgia Voter” sticker. His post read, “YAY! My first vote in America. I am very happy to be part of the democratic process of this great nation.” Well, imagine that… This was a post I needed to see. This is a post that our nation needs to see.

Fulton Science Academy principal Kenan Sener proudly shows off his first “I’m a Georgia Voter” sticker. This is a post that carries a powerful message, a message that seems to have been lost in translation during a period of political mudslinging that has jaded many and, maybe, dulled our focus on perhaps the most important issue to remember during this election cycle. Our country still enjoys a rare and privileged right to vote. Let’s never

forget that. Kenan Sener is one American who doesn’t take this privilege for granted. His Facebook post reinforced what many Americans are likely feeling, but few media outlets are covering…the joy surrounding the ability to vote. This is exactly why I wanted to learn more about Sener’s experience and meet him for lunch. The conversation was cathartic to me for many reasons. Appen: Thanks for chatting. Your Facebook post came at a time when I really needed to see something positive after what has been a very awkward election season. Sener: I’m so happy that my post made you happy. I was just being myself when I wrote it. I was joyful in that moment and felt so happy to have had an opportunity to vote. The response to that post has been amazing. I can’t believe how many commented about my experience. It seems to have started some interesting dialogue. Appen: Well, yes…they say happiness is like cologne; you can’t put some on yourself without sharing it with others. I think we all need some happy a few weeks before the election.

Institute for Advanced Medical Research Announces Partnership with Mercer University’s College of Pharmacy and the Center for Brain Imaging at Georgia Tech “Through integration into a clinical research team to conduct clinical research trials, students and faculty will have practical experience with methodologies involved in testing new and innovative medications,” provide capacity in addition to their current location on Windward Parkway in Alpharetta.

Advisory Board Caption: Members of the Institute’s Advisory Board (left to right) Dr. Eric Shumacher, Joe Viggiano, Dr. Pavur Sundaresan, Dr. HW “Ted” Matthews, Dr. Angelo Sambunaris, Jim Crissey and Tom Hochadle The Institute for Advanced Medical Research, an Alpharetta-based medical clinic involved in clinical research in psychiatry and neurology, has announced an exciting new partnership with Mercer University College of Pharmacy. The new Institute for Advanced Medical Research at Mercer will create a unique opportunity to combine the insights of business along with the expertise of pharmacology from Mercer. Adding to the mix will be an alliance with the Center for Advanced Brain Imaging (CABI) housed at the Georgia Institute of Technology; CABI is a partnership between GA Tech and Georgia State University. This new facility celebrated their Grand Opening and ribbon cutting on October 21, 2016. The team will be led by Medical Director Angelo Sambunaris, M.D., an expert on the treatment of anxiety, depression and insomnia who has conducted more than 200 clinical trials. Faculty from both GA Tech, the College of Pharmacy, as well as from

other schools within the Mercer University system, will be able to work with Dr. Sambunaris and his team on clinical research and treatment programs.

At the October 21 event Dr. Pavur Sundaresan, Clinical Advisory Board chairman explained, “This collaboration is so exciting because it gives a chance to look at issues that are of great interest for everybody. With early phase testing capabilities, the Institute can now gather a lot of data with a small number of participants which are in the target population for the new drug. We can

now look at things like adequate blood concentration and pharmokinetics here at Mercer while also looking at imaging studies with Georgia Tech to see whether the drug is doing what it did in pre-clinical “laboratory” models. There are not many facilities in the country that can do this, making it exciting for the pharmaceutical industry and the Atlanta area.” For more information or to see if you qualify for a study, call 770-817-9200 or visit http://IAmResearch.org.

“Through integration into a clinical research team to conduct clinical research trials, students and faculty will have practical experience with methodologies involved in testing new and innovative medications,” Dr. Sambunaris said. “We believe that this is the nation’s only consortium bringing clinical research and three universities together to drive the process of bringing life-altering treatments to the marketplace. As such, we are excited about navigating a new course in medical research.” With roots that go back to 1998, the Institute has executed almost 200 clinical research trials. Medical Director Dr. Angelo Sambunaris is a nationally known expert in the treatment of anxiety, depression and insomnia with more than 20 years of clinical research experience.

ALPHARETTA, Ga. — Two men were arrested Oct. 15 for entering autos, financial transaction card fraud and possession of marijuana. An employee at North Point mall reported that two men had been roaming through the parking lot and pulling on random car door handles. Alpharetta police had also been receiving several vehicle break-in reports in the area 30 minutes before the call, according to a police report. When police stopped the two men, identified as 53-year-old Anthony Price and 27-year-old Ricardo Couch, they found dozens of items previously re-

ported as stolen, including purses, cell phones, GPSs, cash and iPods in the duo’s possession along with marijuana. Couch additionally had two warrants out for his arrest from Fulton and Clayton counties for failure to appear.

3 cars burglarized in neighborhood MILTON, Ga. — A family reported Oct. 14 that their cars had been broken into, several items had gone missing and that one of the stolen debit cards had been used fraudulently. The family’s three cars had been left unlocked overnight, one in the garage and two in the driveway. In the morning, the mother noticed that her purse was missing from her car and alerted her family to check their vehicles. The husband found that his $500 laptop was missing from his truck, and their child reported that his wallet was missing from his Jeep. When the mother checked her bank accounts, she found two charges she did not make in Clarkston for a total of $60. The family cancelled all their cards and was advised to lock the doors and remove items from the cars when not in use.

The chamber is leading the effort in our community to focus on new business investment, new jobs and expanding commercial investment in the community. JAMES McCOY, Cumming Forsyth County Chamber of Commerce president 16 | Milton Herald | October 27, 2016

Forsyth top in state for incoming investment No. 9 in country By KATHLEEN STURGEON kathleen@appenmediagroup.com FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. — Forsyth County seems to be investing in its community, and it shows. A recent study by Smart Asset, which uses data to help answer consumers’ financial questions, showed that Forsyth County ranks first in the state for incoming investment and 9th in the country. “Our study aims to capture the places across the country that are receiving the most incoming investments in business, real estate, government and the local economy as a whole,” the website said. To do that, Smart Asset looked at four factors: business establishment growth, GDP growth, new building permits and municipal bond investment. These combined factors make the incoming investment index with a possible rating of 100. The study also used data from the U.S. Census Bureau County Business Patterns Survey, the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis, the U.S. Census Bureau Building Permits Survey and Bloomberg. James McCoy, president of the Cumming Forsyth County Chamber of Commerce said the high ranking is due to Forsyth’s strong performance in the four categories. “The chamber is leading the effort in our community to focus on new business investment, new jobs and expanding commercial investment in

Forsyth County had a business growth of 14.7 percent and ranked second in the state. To measure GDP growth, the service used real growth in the local economy. Forsyth’s was $580 million in GDP growth, placing it sixth in the state. The number of new building permits per 1,000 homes came in at 52.2, plac-

ing Forsyth first in Georgia and second in the nation. Smart Asset said building permits directly relate to investment and development in the local residential real estate market. Finally, Smart Asset took the total municipal bond debt raised by a county over the last five years and then divided by the population. This gave them a per capita look at investment into local government. Forsyth had $1,672 in municipal bonds per capita and ranked 36th in the state. Combining these factors, Forsyth County’s incoming investment index was 75.50.

The top city in the nation was Williams, N.D. Its business growth was 37.7 percent; GDP growth at $664 million; had 61.5 new building permits per 1,000 homes and posted a score of $3,072 in municipal bonds per capita. This gave the city a perfect index of 100. The state of Georgia posted no change in its business growth; with $145 million in GDP growth; 6.7 new building permits per 1,000 homes; and $1,401 in municipal bonds per capita.

Competing and winning in the marketplace is a top necessity in growing your small business. Often times, however, small business owners don’t know why they win or lose. Understanding and selecting the right competitive strategy will DICK JONES ensure you are optimizing Founder & President Jones Simply Sales your efforts, and will also make a big difference in the number of opportunities you win. There are basically three strategies you can use. The first is called a “frontal” strategy because it focuses on your ability to differentiate what you are offering based on your reputation, the uniqueness of your product or service, and the price your charge. If the decision-makers view your product and service as being unique, you most likely will win regardless of price. If you are the low-cost vendor, then also you have a better chance of winning. If you can’t compete with a frontal strategy, a “flanking strategy” is the next best option. Using a flanking strategy requires that you change the “buying criteria” to include things that favor your product or service. Adding additional capabilities or features, changing terms, providing incentives, or committing top resources are some of the ways to do this. The “fragment” strategy is the third competitive approach to winning. You use this strategy when the other two methods simply aren’t viable. This strategy requires that you break the opportunity up into smaller pieces, allowing you to win one part of the deal and your competitor to win the other. Making the correct selection of the right strategy requires that you understand both your customer and your competition. Picking the right strategy will indeed help you improve your win rates.

Food Allergy Desensitization Q & A with Dr. Thomas Chacko With Halloween approaching, awareness of food allergies is paramount. If your child has food allergies, Halloween may give you more anxiety than excitement. Learn more about new treatments for food allergies with Dr. Chacko. Rated one of the Top Allergists in Atlanta and selected for the cover of Atlanta Top Doctor Magazine, Dr. Thomas Chacko is Atlanta’s expert in all areas of allergies and asthma, including food allergies. With recent speaking opportunities on CNN, HLN, WebMD, and Fox News, Dr. Chacko is sought after nationally for his expertise in all areas of adult and pediatric allergy and immunology. He is one of a few allergist offering oral immunotherapy (OIT) for food allergies. Why do you have a special interest in food allergies? Food allergies can create anxiety for patients and families. This can have a significant impact on their quality of life. For decades, our only recommendations were to avoid the allergen as well as to have an epinephrine autoinjector. Newer data has changed the landscape and allowed us to be more proactive about treatment. What is oral immunotherapy (OIT)? Oral immunotherapy desensitizes children & adults to their food allergens. By consuming the allergen regularly patients’ immune systems adapt to the allergen that formerly would have caused a life-threatening anaphylactic reaction. How do I know if food desensitization is the right choice for my child? The decision to begin desensitization is based on a variety of factors. These include risk of reaction to accidental ingestion, difficulty in avoiding the allergen, and a number of quality

of life issues (anxiety, ability to participate fully in school, sports and family/social activities, etc.). One of my patients had a life threatening reaction to milk and had to have a helicopter take her to CHOA for such a severe reaction. Now, she is tolerating over 1 glass of milk daily. We’ve had similar stories with patients anaphylactic to peanuts now tolerating 5-10 peanuts daily. It has made a huge change in their quality of life. What is the goal of this treatment? The primary goal of treatment is to be able to consume a full serving of the allergen without experiencing any adverse reaction. Some patients are able to successfully incorporate the food allergen into their diets following completion of the program. Do all allergists offer this treatment? No. Only a handful of allergists in the country offer this treatment. There are currently ongoing trials to get FDA approval for treatments for food allergy desensitization. Some are waiting for the results and recommendations from these ongoing trials. We currently have numerous patients eating peanuts or other allergic foods, which previously led to anaphylaxis. Anyone with food allergies should be aware of this treatment. Please have a happy and safe Halloween!!!

GET OUTSIDE GEORGIA:

Trout fishing in the spotlight at the NGTO ‘Fall Fling’ Want to learn about trout fishing in Georgia? You’ve got a great opportunity coming up on Saturday, Nov. 5, as North Georgia Trout Online hosts its annual Fall STEVE HUDSON Fling at the Buford Get Outside Georgia, Trout Hatchery, Chattahoochee Media Group just off Highway 20, a few miles east of Ga. 400. NGTO is a nonprofit organization dedicated to trout fishing in North Georgia. This online community works to protect and enhance trout fishing on several fronts while helping others learn about the fun of trout fishing. Its activities include a significant outreach effort which supports a variety of educational and environmental stewardship programs. Its members are tied together through fishing-focused online message board, which is open to anyone with an interest in fishing, especially trout fishing, in Georgia. The group has “a firm commitment to the future of trout fishing in Georgia” and “strives to increase public awareness of the sport of trout fishing.” The annual Fall Fling, a familyfriendly gathering of trout fishing enthusiasts, features a variety of activities, ranging from on-the-water fishing workshops to casting instruction and fly tying demonstrations. This year’s edition features a special emphasis on the Chattahoochee River, the worldclass trout water right in our own

backyards. Of special interest to any Chattahoochee fly fisher are two on-the-water clinics focusing on fishing techniques which work well on the Hooch. Space may be limited in these clinics, so you’ll need to sign up for a spot via the NGTO website, ngto.org. Note that since these are on-the-water clinics, you’ll need to bring a PFD (life jacket) and will need a fishing license and trout license to fish. Later in the morning, several special presentations will help you learn even more about fishing the Chattahoochee. At 11 a.m., for example, an exciting seminar will take a close look at trout fishing below Buford Dam. This seminar offers a great opportunity to learn the ins and outs of fishing for trout in this productive but sometimes challenging part of the river. In addition, there will be many other fishing-related activities going on. For example, a special casting clinic will focus on improving your casting accuracy, and everyone can have a great time putting their skills to the test in the ever-popular casting games. What if you’ve never cast a fly rod? No worries! There will be plenty of folks on hand to show you how it’s done. It’s a great opportunity to learn about a sport that you can enjoy for a lifetime. In addition to the programs and presentations, there will also be plenty of door prizes and auction items. Proceeds go to help support the organization’s activities.

A barbecue lunch is also served on the site, starting about noon, with the raffle winners announced afterwards. Want to enjoy even more fishing-related fun? Then you may want to join the free tour of the hatchery, which starts at the hatchery office at 1 p.m. No advance registration is required for the tour – just show up and you’re good to go. The children will love this, and don’t be surprised if your tour includes an opportunity to feed some of those hatchery trout too. Afterward, consider wetting a line in the hatchery’s Family Fishing Pond. Kids under 16 can fish there for free, but anglers 16 or older will need to have a fishing license. For more info on the NGTO Fall Fling, visit the NGTO website at ngto. org. Look under the “FLINGS” tab for details and the latest schedule of events. I hope to see you there! Steve Hudson has written several books to help visitors explore north Georgia, including “Hiking the Hooch,” a complete and detailed guide to the trails of the Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area. It’s available from many local outfitters, from Amazon, or direct from Chattahoochee Media at www.chattahoocheemedia. com.

Assisted living vs. independent Ask Pam, your choice for living: Which is right for you? in home care since 2006! If you’re having a hard time deciding whether Assisted Living or Independent Living is the best option for you, you’re not alone. Many people struggle to answer the assisted living question because they don’t fully understand what the differences are between the two actually are. Nearly half of seniors in one survey believed incorrectly that assisted living is “similar to a nursing home”. The first step to understanding the differences is to identify your basic care needs and expectations. A great way to gauge your needs is to examine your activities of daily living or “ADL’s”. Think about all the things you need help with including bathing, meals and shopping. If you feel you need assistance in this area, assisted living can provide you with the best of both worlds. These communities are monitored 24/7 by nursing staff. Meals are prepared and served. Transportation is provided as well as structured activities such a fitness programs and social outings. If you need ongoing help with ADLs, an assisted living community offers a great way to get the care you need while retaining your independence. If you would like to know more about assisted living, contact Arbor Terrace at Crabapple (770)649-1009.

Opinion: Continued from Page 12 Please talk to me about why this election meant so much to you. Let’s try to change the rhetoric to something more upbeat. Together. Sener: Well, I guess in some ways, I am living the American Dream. Arriving in the United States 15 years ago with a temporary work visa, I placed tremendous value on hard work, determination, continuing education, respect and gratitude. I have earned several degrees, gotten married and welcomed three beautiful children into my life. Professionally, I have been fortunate enough to have grown into positions of increasing responsibility and leadership. When I arrived in America, I was a proud computer teacher. Today, I am the proud principal of Fulton Science Academy private school, a wonderful private STEM school that has grown

from 100 students to 455 students in only three years. It’s mindboggling, really. Appen: Wow! That’s quite a trajectory! Right now, your school is arguably one of the most successful public or private accredited STEM schools in Georgia. You just moved into a new campus and are already looking at expansion plans because your enrollment is increasing. I was delighted to just see FSAPS named the Best Private School (K-12) in our “Best of the Best” Awards and also just read that you were a finalist in two categories of the prestigious STEM Education Awards hosted by the Technology Association of Georgia. How does this feel? Sener: To hear you say these things, well, it almost doesn’t seem real. If there were a medal for hard work and perseverance, our students and faculty would certainly deserve it. They keep us on point. They are always reaching farther, higher, wider, deeper to create the best possible educational

experience, and it shows. Whether it’s discussing an upcoming academic team competition or a prior presidential debate on TV, our students always keep us on our toes. I love that about our school! Appen: I bet you do. How did it feel to complete your first ballot as an American citizen last week? I heard you voted at the new Alpharetta City Library right after being presented with a proclamation from the Alpharetta City Council. Apparently the council wanted to congratulate you and the school for raising more than $8,000 to help fund pediatric cancer research. Sener: It was a day I will remember forever. The award was unexpected but very much appreciated. I stood there in the beautiful courtyard in front of City Hall and was speechless. I was emotional. I feel so privileged and fortunate to live in a country where you are afforded a chance to work hard and achieve. There is rule of law here. There is opportunity here. There is hope here. I really believe anything is possible here. Appen: These seem to be life lessons that you also try to impart to your students, correct? Sener: Yes.

The electoral process has actually given us a great chance to delve deeper into these issues. Appen: Wonderful. Talk to me about your school’s students and the election. Sener: Well, I appreciate my new right to vote as a citizen and express my values. Similarly, Fulton Science Academy teaches our students that voting is a privilege – one that should never be taken for granted. We try to instill in them a desire to understand the issues so they can make well thought out and educated decisions. I was elated when some of our teachers approached the administrative team and proposed a mock election for our students on November 1. It will be such a special day! Appen: I can only imagine the excitement as students cast their vote and proudly wear their “I Voted” sticker, just as you did last week. I think we could all learn an important lesson from those who approach this election with open eyes and grateful hearts, embracing perhaps the most important lesson of all. That voting is not only a right, it is a privilege.

FCS captures subregion title, Roswell squeaks by Etowah By JOE PARKER news@appenmediagroup.com

However, the 44-yard attempt was just short and Alpharetta was able to run out the clock for the win.

MILTON 45, FORSYTH CENTRAL 0 FELLOWSHIP CHRISTIAN 35, MT. PISGAH 21

Fellowship Christian scored 28 unanswered points in the second half and would go on to win 35-21 and claim the 6-A subregion B title, improving to 8-0 on the year in the process. Fellowship’s offense compiled 494 total yards and its defense forced three turnovers in the second half. Andrew Johnson rushed for 230 yards and two touchdowns for the Paladins.

ROSWELL 17, ETOWAH 14

Roswell’s last regular season loss came on the road to Etowah on Halloween in 2014, and it was the Eagles who nearly ended the Hornets’ 18game regular season win streak last Friday. Down 14-10 with just over a minute remaining, Sheldon Evans scored a 5-yard rushing touchdown for Roswell with 1:06 remaining. Roswell’s defense was then able to hold off the final-minute comeback attempt from Etowah. Evans scored both touchdowns for the Hornets and Turner Barckhoff made a 32-yard field goal in the win.

With both teams desperate for a win, Milton dominated Forsyth Central to keep its slim hopes of a playoff appearance alive. Cameron Adams rushed for 166 yards and three touchdowns and Jordan Yates was 6-9 passing for 72 yards with two touchdowns. Milton’s defense allowed just 58 total yards, holding the Bulldogs to negative 11 yards rushing. The shutout was Milton’s first since its season finale of 2015.

CHATTAHOOCHEE 48, POPE 42

Hooch quarterback Chase Owens threw for 252 yards and five touchdowns to lead Chattahoochee over the Greyhounds. The Cougars led by 20 entering the fourth quarter, but two late touchdowns put them down by just six midway through the fourth. With four minutes remaining and the Greyhounds looking to take the late lead, Pope threw an interception in the end zone, hauled in by the Cougars’ Bryce Cross. Hooch then ran out the clock to improve to 3-3 in region play.

WALKER 35, KING’S RIDGE 7

SOUTH FORSYTH 42, NORTH FORSYTH 7

South Forsyth had no trouble against North, forcing five turnovers defensively while Davis Shanley compiled over 300 yards of total offense and three total touchdowns. Guy Morra, Julian Mingo and Jared Honey added rushing scores. South will take on Forsyth Central and West Forsyth in its final two games of the season, needing to win out and for Lambert to lose to Forsyth Central and Milton in its final two games to repeat as region champions.

NORTHVIEW 41, NORTH ATLANTA 21

Northview held a slim 28-21 lead late in the fourth quarter, but the Titans scored 13 unanswered points in the fourth quarter to improve to 2-4 in region play. AJ Green scored on a 2-yard rush, and with less than two minutes left in the game Connor Henn recovered a fumble that led to a 41-yard Emeke Nwanze touchdown run to secure the win for the Titans.

ALPHARETTA 21, CAMBRIDGE 19 LAMBERT 17, WEST FORSYTH 7

Lambert is now in sole possession of the lead in Region 5-AAAAAAA as the Longhorns remained unbeaten in region play thanks to 17 unanswered points in the second half. In a defensive struggle, both teams combined for just over 200 total yards, but thanks to Lambert’s strong defensive play, which included nine sacks, the Longhorns prevailed. Tyler Gillis scored on a 1-yard touchdown run, Richie Kenney found Tyler Gillis for a 28-yard touchdown reception and Bryce Christensen made a 42-yard field goal for the Longhorns’ win.

Alpharetta outlasted Cambridge as each team encountered another exciting finish to one of its games. The Raiders’ Marcus Webster returned an interception for a touchdown, Matthew Downing connected with Nolan Edmons for a 40-yard touchdown pass and Ellis Merriweather scored for the Raiders in the win. Alpharetta led 2113 when Cambridge scored early in the fourth quarter. However, they would fail to convert the two-point conversion attempt to keep Alpharetta’s lead at two. The Bears’ missed a 53-yard field goal with four minutes remaining, but found themselves with another field goal attempt and a chance to take the lead with just over a minute remaining.

KEVIN O’BRIEN/SPLIT SECOND IMAGES

Lambert’s Brian Wright finds a gap and runs for a positive gain.

BLESSED TRINITY 28, MARIST 26

Blessed Trinity thwarted a comeback attempt by Marist to remain atop the Region 7-AAAA standings with a narrow victory over a talented Marist team. BT led 28-14 entering the fourth quarter before Marist scored, but missed the extra point. With two minutes remaining, Marist found the end zone once again, but failed the potential game-tying two-point conversion and BT was able to run out the clock. Steel Chambers rushed for 126 yards and three touchdowns in the win, while quarterback Jake Smith was 14-18 passing with 235 yards and a touchdown.

King’s Ridge fell to 2-4 in region play with a lopsided loss against Walker. The Tigers’ offense was held to 138 yards of total offense, with its sole touchdown coming from its defense on a fumble recovery returned for a touchdown. The Tigers’ defense gave up nearly 400 yards rushing in the loss.

PINECREST 41, WHITEFIELD 0

Pinecrest’s Carson Holler returned the opening kickoff 97 yards for a touchdown and the Paladins never looked back, shutting out Whitefield Academy and improving to 5-3 overall. Pinecrest’s defense held Whitefield to under 50 total yards of offense and forced three turnovers while Pinecrest’s offense rushed for nearly 300 yards.

MT. PARAN 42, ST. FRANCIS 7

Trafficking: Continued from Page 6 flee in her car. She had been tipped off by the 28-year-old woman Smith was allegedly pimping, according to the police report. Smith was arrested after a highspeed chase that ended on Webb Bridge Road. She was charged with pimping, driving with a suspended license, fleeing and eluding, and possession of marijuana. Eleven other people were arrested in the greater Metro Atlanta area, includ-

ing Dunwoody, Marietta and Gwinnett. The recovered victims are with state protective services and victim assistance. They will be assisted according to their level of need, and FBI victim specialists will be available to help survivors obtain the services they need. “Operation Cross Country aims to shine a spotlight into the darkest corners of our society that seeks to prey on the most vulnerable of our population,” said FBI Director James Comey. “As part of this effort, we are not only looking to root out those who engage in the trafficking of minors, but through

our Office for Victim Assistance, we offer a lifeline to minors to help them escape from a virtual prison no person ever deserves.” Internationally, law enforcement agencies in Cambodia, Canada, the Philippines and Thailand worked in conjunction with operations in their respective countries. In Canada alone, 16 children were saved in their corresponding operation called Northern Spotlight. Authorities in Cambodia, Thailand and the Philippines additionally rescued 25 children. One was a 2-year-old girl. “Child sex trafficking is a global

problem and we must throw every resource we can at combating it,” said NCMEC Director John Clark. “All of us at the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children are proud to work side by side with the FBI and their law enforcement partners as we work tirelessly every day to find and rescue child victims and while ensuring that those responsible for this horrible crime are held accountable.” Operation Cross Country X is part of the FBI’s larger Innocence Lost Initiative, which started in 2003 and has identified and found over 6,000 children.
