Windward, Ga. 400 plans unveiled New lanes to help traffic By JONATHAN COPSEY jonathan@appenmediagroup.com ALPHARETTA, Ga. – Anyone driving on Windward Parkway will likely see construction before too long as new lanes may be added to the road. Called “Windward Phase 2,” the project, by the North Fulton Community Improvement District and GDOT, aims to improve traffic flow both on the road between Ga. 400 and Deerfield Parkway as well as traffic exiting Ga. 400 onto Windward. The proposed project includes a triple left-turn lane on the Ga. 400 northbound exit ramp to Windward Parkway and widens Windward Parkway from Ga. 400 to Westside Parkway/Deerfield Parkway. The additional lane on Windward Parkway will be a right-turn lane that will end at Westside Parkway/Deerfield Parkway along with a second left-turn lane on Windward Parkway at Westside Parkway. The project also includes improvements to the existing bicycle lane on Windward Parkway. “The proposed project will also construct an outside shoulder on Georgia 400 northbound next to the exiting flex shoulder lane. Motorists will be able to use the new shoulder as another exit lane,” said Carleton Fisher, GDOT project manager. “The improve-

We encourage residents who are interested in learning more about the proposed project to attend the open house and give their input.” One issue to be resolved is traffic on the exit ramp of Ga. 400 backing up into the highway during peak times. The project will have a 1,900-foot-long new left-turn lane and shoulder on Ga. 400 northbound at the Windward exit. A bike lane will be added to Windward Parkway between the highway and Deerfield Parkway. All told, the project is expected to cost about $3.8 million. Taylor Wright, with Atkins Global, the design and engineering firm for the project, said he expects the project to take two years to build once a

General elections will be Tuesday, Nov. 3. in attendance. Running for Post 1 are Rich Dippolito, the incumbent, and Marcelo Zapata; running for Post 2 are incumbent Becky Wynn and Michael Palermo; running for the open seat, Post 3, are Shayne Gray, Donald J. Horton, Kay Howell, Nathan Porter and Ricky Spencer. Howell was absent from the event. Municipal Court Judge Brian Hansford is also up
for re-election but is running unopposed. What should be done with the Riverwalk development and the intersection of Ga. 400 and Holcomb Bridge Road? “There have to be major infrastructure changes first before there can be any development,” said Horton. Gray said the area was currently zoned for up to 1 million square feet of office space, far more than is expected for Riverwalk. Still, he opposed the development. “It would bring 27,000 additional cars into the worst intersection in the state,” he

Cataracts By Cameron Johnson, MD
Cameron Johnson, MD. Laser Cataract, Refractive and Corneal Surgeon
What is a cataract? The eye has a lens similar in function to a camera lens, focusing light on the retina, the part of the eye that receives images and transmits them to the brain. This lens is made of proteins that are aligned in a precise manner, making the lens clear. As we age, the proteins can begin to clump together, making the lens cloudy. When the lens becomes cloudy it is a cataract.
What causes cataracts? All people develop cataracts if they live long enough, due to natural wear and tear on the proteins making up the lens. There are, however, factors thought to accelerate this process. These include exposure to UV light, smoking, and diabetes. To slow the progression of cataracts, do not smoke and wear UV blocking sunglasses when outside.
What are the symptoms of cataracts? People with cataracts often note a gradually increasing cloudiness of the vision as well as poor night vision. Other symptoms include glare when driving at night, and haloes around lights. Patients may note that colors look faded due to the yellowing of the lens. Sometimes these changes happen so slowly that someone may not realize how much their vision has been affected. How are cataracts diagnosed? Your eye doctor will be able to diagnose whether you have a cataract by performing an eye exam that includes dilating your eyes to get a good look at the lens. Your vision will be tested to determine if the cataract is affecting your vision. You may also have glare testing to determine if your vision is decreased in situations such as driving at night. What is the treatment for cataracts? With early cataracts, vision can often be improved with a new glasses prescription, or using increased lighting when reading. As cataracts progress, the only treatment available is surgery to remove the cloudy lens and replace it with an artificial lens. Cataract surgery is recommended when the cataract has become advanced enough to affect your daily
activities such as reading, watching television, or driving. Cataract surgery very successful, but like all surgeries has risks. Your eye doctor will discuss the risks, benefits, and alternatives of cataract surgery with you. What are some of the new technologies available to cataract patients? Some of the most exciting progress in cataract surgery recently has been the development of advanced technology intraocular lenses which help patients minimize dependence on glasses. Approximately 1/3 of the population has astigmatism that blurs the vision, requiring glasses for correction. Advanced technology lenses can often correct astigmatism inside the eye, enabling patients to have clear distance vision. Another type of advanced technology lens, called a multifocal lens can often help cataract patients see more clearly both at near and at distance after surgery. Your eye doctor can discuss if you would be a candidate for these technologies. Dr. Cameron Johnson is a board-certified ophthalmologist with Milan Eye Center, located in Canton.

Entering autos spree hits Alpharetta Dozens of vehicles broken into, items, weapons stolen By JONATHAN COPSEY jonathan@appenmediagroup.com ALPHARETTA, Ga. – Alpharetta has seen a string of vehicle break-ins in recent days, with more than 20 victims reporting damage and stolen goods between Oct. 16 and 20. Almost all of the vehicles hit were in or near the parking lots of local hotels and restaurants. The Courtyard Marriott on Deerfield Parkway reported several break-ins overnight Oct. 16 with windows broken
out and computers and other personal items reported taken. That same night, the Hyatt Place and Hilton Garden Inn both reported windows broken into of vehicles. One victim reported a passport and cash taken, along with computers. Two victims reported rental vehicles missing at the same time. In some cases, windows were broken but nothing was reported missing. A few days later, Oct. 19, a vehicle’s door handle was reportedly damaged at the Hampton Inn on Old Morris Road and nothing was missing. On the other side of town at about lunch time two vehicles were reportedly broken into at
the Tom and Chee restaurant. Again, windows were broken and computers were taken. Later that night, at a nearby restaurant strip mall, several vehicles reportedly had smashed windows and items missing. Customers of the La Parilla and Taco Mac reported windows smashed with cameras, wallets, computers and clothing reportedly missing. One vehicle was reported stolen. On Oct. 20, four more vehicles were broken into at the Hyatt Place on North Point Parkway. Two had nothing taken, one had a computer missing. The fourth had two firearms stolen — a Sig. 226R 9
mm and a Spikes ST15 tactical assault rifle, both with extra mags and ammo. George Gordon, spokesman with the Alpharetta Department of Public Safety, said most such crimes are ones of opportunity. “It takes only seconds for someone to break into a vehicle, grab something and flee,” Gordon said. “The best way to deter becoming a victim is to practice the ‘Take, lock and hide’ concept. Always take valuables from your vehicle when not occupied. Lock up your vehicle. Hide items out if sight if you can’t remove them.” He encouraged residents to report any suspicious activity to authorities.
Georgia’s unemployment rate now down to 5.5% MILTON, Ga. - The Georgia Department of Labor announced Oct. 23 that metro Atlanta’s unemployment rate for September was 5.5 percent, down one-tenth of a percentage point from 5.6 percent in August. The rate in September 2014 was 6.7 percent. The rate fell as more residents got jobs and there were fewer new layoffs. The number of employed residents increased in August. Also, the number of new layoffs, as measured by initial claims for unemployment insurance, declined by 4.6 percent in September. The decreases came in a number of industries including manufacturing, wholesale trade, transportation and warehousing, administrative and support services, accommodations and food services, and educational services. Jobs were lost in several major employment sectors,
including leisure and hospitality, professional and business services, trade, transportation and warehousing, and construction. State and local government added jobs as the public schools reopened for the new school year. However, over the year, Atlanta gained 72,300 jobs, a growth rate of 2.9 percent. Most of the job growth came in professional and business services, trade, transportation and warehousing, leisure and hospitality, government, education and health services, financial activities, construction and manufacturing. Metro Gainesville had the lowest area jobless rate at 4.7 percent, while the Altamaha region had the highest at 7.5 percent. Meanwhile, Georgia’s seasonally adjusted unemployment rate for September was 5.8 percent, unchanged from August.
It was 6.9 percent in September 2014. Georgia is ranked third nationally in monthly job creation. Local area unemploy-
ment data are not seasonally adjusted. Georgia labor market data are available at www.dol. georgia.gov. —Isabelle Nguyen

Make sure your child’s costume is safe. Is the fabric fire retardant? Does their mask have proper eye, nose and mouth openings? Can they walk easily in it? 3. Use a buddy system. If you are headed out with a group, make sure there is a buddy system in place. It’s easy for a child to be left behind or mixed in with other groups. 4.

Congress dithers as $123M GDOT projects delayed States face 34th short-term federal transportation extension ATLANTA – Georgia Department of Transportation announced that the agency is unable to release federally funded projects for bids in December due to federal funding uncertainty. The 34 delayed projects, valued at $123 million, were previously scheduled to go out for bids during that month. Repeated shortfalls in the Federal Highway Trust Fund account have led to a series of brief funding extensions. The latest patch by Congress – the 34th short-term transportation funding extension since 2009 (and the third one in 10 months) – extends the federal government’s authority to process aid payments to states through Oct. 29. “It has been 10 years since Congress has been able to pass a transportation funding bill of more than a two-year duration,”said Georgia DOT
It has been 10 years since Congress has been able to pass a transportation funding bill of more than a two-year duration.” RUSSELL MCMURRY Georgia DOT Commissioner
Commissioner Russell McMurry. “Temporary fixes do not create the certainty state DOTs require in order to plan major transportation projects. We can’t do long-term transportation planning with short-term funding fixes.” Key delayed December projects include: • A $45 million resurfacing and maintenance project on Interstate 75 in Catoosa County from State Route 3/U.S. 41 to the Tennessee state line • A $2.5 million bridge maintenance project involving 10 Fulton County bridges. • A $20 million resurfacing and maintenance project
in Tift County on I-75 from south of County Road 204/Southwell Road in Tift County to south of SR 32 in Turner County. • A $3 million operational improvement on SR 3 at Windy Hill Road in Cobb County “While Congress looks for solutions, the clock ticks down to next Thursday’s Oct. 29 deadline,” McMurry said. “If Congress does not reach an agreement by then, US DOT will cut off payments for infrastructure projects to states and local governments in November. This poses grave challenges for our transportation system.”

I subscribe to the Wall Street Journal and Sunday New York Times print editions, but I have never been able to enjoy or use their digital editions. I think it may just be that I find the digital format distracting. I don’t do sites like Huffington Post,
RAY APPEN
I can’t let you do that Ray.
Phone, deactivate Facebook.
Buzzfeed, Quartz or other sites of their ilk because they don’t give me enough value. I don’t need or want more trivia or minutiae. If I am not learning something or if the site is not making me smarter, wiser or a better person in some way, it does not get my time. That’s also the reason I don’t watch reality TV or talent shows (or any TV, actually). I don’t play video games or look forward to a new season of “The Walking Dead.” I also avoid information sources that cater to conservative or liberal points of view at the expense of objectivity, truth and clarity. I don’t have time for noise. And, finally, I try to limit the amount of time I spend patronizing sites or information sources where the investment of my time on their site primarily benefits them and not me – where I am the product and not the consumer. Google is probably the biggest example of this and I am working on finding an acceptable alternative to them as well. Texting is the last digital activity that causes me to spend my time on my phone, although I really don’t text that much. So I may continue my limited use. I don’t really pay much attention to Twitter although I used to follow one person who tweeted out only links to really good technology stories and news. He was so consistent and so good at screening what he put out there that he won my time. But I eventually stopped following this guy because of the sheer volume of tweets he posted. It was just too much. Ultimately I think I stand a chance of taking back most of my personal time that I have lost to the Internet. I want to use my time more wisely and I have come to realize that much of the time I burned up on the Internet is time that has displaced activities that fostered my true connectivity – real personal interaction with other people. As one of my old favorites sang, “We’re only on this earth for a short while.” I really would like to spend that short while doing stuff that is important to me. And that needs to include being an active member of the human race and not hiding behind my phone, or any other screen. So, need to get off this screen now. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.
costume be ‘sexy?’ I love Halloween. It’s a fun time of year and the beginning of the holiday season. There are decorations everywhere, and neighbors compete with each other for the best, most over-thetop decorated home on the street. It’s like Christmas for the spooky and I love it. But then there are the costumes. Perhaps this is me showing my age, but it seems each year the costumes get weirder than the last. I have long conceded the point that I am no longer on the cutting edge of “cool.” If I see a costume I don’t recognize, I just assume it’s either a new cartoon or some online meme. But especially for the women’s costumes, can we all agree that not all things are or must be “sexy” for Halloween? There are the traditional costumes – sexy nurse, sexy firefighter, sexy police officer, sexy vegetable – I understand those. But then there is the “sexy Donald Trump” or the “sexy rat with pizza.” I could get the sexy reporter costume. Then again, I already have that one. The Donald Trump costume confuses me. Of all things I want in my life to associate with “sexy,” Donald

Revue & News Editor jonathan@ appenmediagroup.com
Trump is not one of them. Perhaps there is the attitude that turning something like that into a Halloween costume is ironic? Or just funny? It could certainly be scary. Maybe that’s the point? I don’t know. I don’t want to know. I know that each Halloween becomes a battleground of “keep the sexy out of the holiday.” It’s unfair perhaps to keep bringing up such a topic each year that especially targets women and women’s fashion. But a part of me is just confounded by all the weird things that must be “sexy” that must also be for women. It’s a fun holiday, and maybe that’s the point. It’s one of the few times a year a woman gets to don a ridiculous “sexy” costume and not be judged too harshly. Meanwhile my Halloween costume will be decidedly unsexy. Well, maybe just a little.
Must love … black cats It’s no secret that I love cats. Obsessed would even be a reasonable word to describe my love of cats. It wouldn’t be too big of a surprise if I ended up as a cat lady someday. That being said, my cat color of choice is black. This love developed from my late pet, Edgar, or Ed for short. He was the first black cat my family ever adopted, but, in my opinion, he’s the best cat we’ve ever had. Ed came to live with us in a roundabout way. First, we adopted his tabby brother, Poe, from a local veterinary clinic. The next day, we felt bad for breaking up the kitty “family” and went back to adopt Ed. How thrilled we were that he was still there, waiting to be adopted. But more later on why he was probably still left behind. After he died, we decided we could never replace him, although we knew our next cat (or cats) would probably be black. Then, last November, we adopted two solidblack kitten brothers, Reuben and Al. They’re perfect and Reuben has become my

own little furry kitten child. However, when we adopted our boys, we had to go through a somewhat long process so the animal shelter could be sure we wouldn’t hurt them. Of course my catcrazed family would never think of hurting any animal, but apparently that is not true of all people. Black cats notoriously have the lowest adoption rate

Rivers Alive in Milton By JONATHAN COPSEY jonathan@appenmediagroup.com MILTON, Ga. – The waterways in and around Milton were filled with volunteers garbed in bright colors Oct. 17 for the annual “Rivers Alive” cleanup. Held at Bailey Farm and Gardens, on Hickory Flat Road, volunteers donned
bright yellow and orange vests and made their way to many of the city’s streams, creeks and other waterways to clean them of waste.

Its mission is to create awareness and involvement in the preservation of Georgia’s pure water resources through waterway cleanups. Each year, volunteers wade through mud and creek water to pick up trash discarded by
drivers or residents, either carelessly or on purpose. Members of the fire department gave fire safety tips and an “enviroscape” was available for families to have a fun illustration on sources of water contamination. For more about yearlong events pertaining to river cleanup and other information,

Parsons Rd. bridge open at last GDOT gives final OK for delayed project By HATCHER HURD hatcher@appenmediagroup.com JOHNS CREEK, Ga. — The sun didn’t come out Monday, Oct. 26, but commuters were singing a happy tune after Johns Creek Public Works employees removed the barriers and opened thru-traffic on Parsons Road again after nine months. The road had been closed after it was deemed the 50-year-old bridge had served its usefulness and a total replacement was required. The Georgia Department of Trans-
portation scheduled the $1.3 million project to be completed by September, but problems dogged the project. First, a natural gas line that had not been identified along the right of way delayed the project until the line could be moved safely out of the way of construction. But the big delay came when the vertical piles that support the bridge were not aligned properly. Each concrete pile is yoked to another one, and when the pilings did not align properly because they were at the wrong elevation, GDOT demanded they be taken up and re-poured. “The bridge was ready to be opened two weeks ago, then it was discovered the approaches to the bridge were not grooved
properly. The approaches should have grooves that help with the water runoff when it rains. “It keeps vehicles from hydroplaning when they approach the bridge. There was something wrong with the machine that cuts those grooves apparently. GDOT would not accept the bridge [from the contractor] until they were regrooved,” Black said. The bridge now has a left-turn lane to allow traffic coming from Medlock Bridge Road to turn left into the subdivision just beyond. That will help guard against cars getting rear-ended on the bridge as they wait to turn left and allow thru-traffic to flow unimpeded by the cars turning left. The project was totally

Section of Big Creek Greenway to Close for 2 weeks ALPHARETTA, Ga. -- A portion of Alpharetta’s Big Creek Greenway will be closed for 14 days as crews make drainage repairs and bridge an area that is frequently unusable due to ponding water. The closure, which will go into effect on Nov. 2, will impact a segment located just north of Web Bridge Road. “We have received a number of complaints about this small section of our Greenway ponding even when little rain has fallen,” states Mike Perry, director of Recreation and Parks for the City of Alpharetta. “While much of our greenway is located within a floodplain and has to be periodically closed when we receive heavy rains, the water in most areas quickly recedes and the trail is reopened within a day or two,” he said. “In this one short stretch, however, water tends to pond quickly and remains there, resulting in that area being unusable more frequently and for longer periods.” The city will create a short bridge over the section so that water can more freely pass from one side of the trail to the other. This will also allow for use of the trail segment, even if some water is present. During construction, the segment of the Big Creek Greenway will be closed and not available for use from a point approximately a half-mile south of the Marconi Drive trailhead to Webb Bridge Road. The remainder of the trail will be unaffected. —Jonathan Copsey

UNG holds first StartItUp conference Offers guidance to young entrepreneurs By KATHLEEN STURGEON kathleen@appenmediagroup.com CUMMING, Ga. — The University of North Georgia is trying to create an entrepreneur ecosystem. “It’s vital for us to be competitive and successful long term and have joy within our lives that way,” said Ruben Boling, director for the Center for the Future of North Georgia. That’s why Boling, along with his department, decided to initiate a program at UNG called StartUp UNG. “We had a couple of students come to us with business ideas but they didn’t know what to do,” Boling said. “That was an ah-ha moment
for us to say we really need to get going on this and make it happen. So we got started on StartUp UNG. It is a student group that meets on a regular basis and talks about startups and brings in successful entrepreneurs and patent folks to talk with to see what they need to do from that standpoint.” From there, Boling said the next phase was to get that idea out into the community and involve them. So he created the first StartItUp conference Oct. 20 at the Lanier Technical College Conference Center. Attendees included students from the University of North Georgia and high school students from both Forsyth and Lumpkin counties listen to entrepreneurs. “We want our students to start talking with the high school students to encourage and support them,” Boling said. “If you look at the economic growth in our area,
which is the foundation of a good lifestyle because we all want a job and provide for our families, the more businesses we start, the more opportunities we have to provide those kind of things. A lot of economic development is about attracting companies that are already established into the area. We want a good mixture of large companies providing that type of job, but also those made on their own kind of jobs.” The lineup for the event included speeches from Johnny “Cupcakes” Earle, an apparel designer, Tom Chernetsky, CTO for social app Yik Yak, Katie Dicke and Marcus Hollinger, with Reach Records, and Beau Shell, also known as the Lil’ Ice Cream Dude. Shell, the youngest speaker at age 11, discussed how he created his successful ice cream business. This is his fourth year as an entrepreneur

Students from the University of North Georgia and high school students both Forsyth and Lumpkin counties listen to entrepreneurs. and he said his love of the sweet treat fueled his passion. “My vision is to inspire and help other small businesses as I build my own successful ice cream empire, brand and private line of ice cream,” Shell said. In 2014, Shell’s business’ income project was at $19,000.
This year he hopes to earn $25,000. He donates portions of his earnings to the Children’s Miracle Network and his church. “Always think big, remain humble, give back,” he said, “and prepare to change the world with your dreams.”

What are you going to do to thank your customers for their business during the holiday season? Are you planning a holiday event or sending out thank-you notes to express your thanks for the business your customers have done with you this year? Thanking your customers during the holiday season is not only a nice gesture, but it will also help you to retain a customer’s business next year. Let’s face it. Everyone has customers and your customers have a choice of where they do business. Letting them know that you appreciate their business, especially at the end of the year during the holiday

season, is just good business sense. You don’t have to go overboard and buy lavish gifts. A simple “thank you” email will go a long way in maintaining a solid relationship with your customers. Some small-business owners forget this important gesture, and scratch their
head and wonder why when a current customer starts doing business with a competitor. There should be no excuses that prevent you from thanking your customers during the holiday season. Hosting an event, sending gift cards, or even picking up the phone and thanking them verbally is viewed by all customers as a positive action. Start your planning now for what you are going to do between Thankgiving and the New Year. Thanking your customers for their business during the holiday season will go a long way toward retaining business with them.

FOOTBALL PREVIEW »
Multiple teams look for region championships Second-to-last week pits region leaders against each other By JOE PARKER news@appenmediagroup.com NORTH FULTON, Ga. — With just two regular-season games remaining for all local teams, many have found themselves in must-win situations, either for region championships or for playoff hopes. In Region 6-AAAAAA, Lambert (7-1, 7-0) retained their position atop the region standings after defeating West Forsyth 35-31. Lambert now controls their own destiny in region play. The Longhorns will take on a winless Chattahoochee team this week before what could be the region champion-deciding game against South Forsyth next Friday. South Forsyth (7-1, 6-1) sits a game behind Lambert and will likely have to beat Johns Creek to keep their hopes of a region title alive. West Forsyth, Centennial and Johns Creek, third through fifth in region standings respectively, are in the chase to earn one of four play-
off berths in Region 6-AAAAAA. In Region 7-AAAAA Division B, Cambridge (6-2, 4-1) was handed their first loss in region play this season when they fell to Riverwood Oct. 23. Riverwood (7-2, 5-1) leapfrogged Cambridge at the top of the standings with the win, forcing Cambridge to win out for the possibility of securing their first region title. Blessed Trinity (8-0, 4-0) can clinch the Region 6-AAA Division B title with a win over Decatur. Pinecrest Academy will also have the chance to clinch their subregion title, Region 6-A Division B, with a win over King’s Ridge. Game of the Week: Decatur (5-3, 2-2) vs. Blessed Trinity (8-0, 4-0) If Blessed Trinity defeats Decatur on Friday, the Titans will clinch their third consecutive region title with one game remaining. The Titans have been stellar on both sides of the ball this season. Quarterback Conor Davis completed 60 percent of his passes and
averaged 134 yards per game through seven games. However, most of the offensive production for the Titans has come on the ground. The Titans are averaging 233 rushing yards per game, led by running back Milton Shelton. Shelton had 896 yards on 103 carries with 15 touchdowns for the Titans in seven games. Garrett Dupuis had 320 yards and two touchdowns in the same span. The Titans defense is allowing just eight points per game and have held all but one opponent to just one touchdown.
Other notable games: Centennial (5-3, 5-2) vs. West Forsyth (5-3, 5-2) After dropping their game against Lambert, West Forsyth has an extremely slim chance of taking the region title. However, they are still very much in the hunt for a playoff berth. They will take on a Centennial team that is looking to return to the playoffs for the first time since 2011. Both teams are currently tied for third place in the re-
Beautiful New Homes in Milton, Roswell, East Cobb & Johns Creek
gion. The losing team will be in jeopardy of missing out on the playoffs. Centennial opened the season with three losses but has since won five straight, all in region play. West’s five-game win streak was snapped by Lambert last week. Johns Creek (4-4, 4-3) vs. South Forsyth (6-1, 7-1) Both the Gladiators and War Eagles will be in must-win mode when they face off Friday, but for different reasons. For South, they must win in order to force a region-champion deciding game against Lambert next week. If South loses this week and Lambert defeats Chattahoochee, Lambert will secure the region title. Meanwhile, Johns Creek is seeking a playoff berth after winning just one game in their prior two seasons. Under the helm of first-year head coach Matt Kemper, the Gladiators have turned things around and currently sit fifth in the region standings, just one game outside of a playoff spot. Last week, the Gladiators were upset by a Habersham Central team that was winless heading into the game.
Lambert (7-1, 7-0) vs Chattahoochee (0-8, 0-7) The Lambert Longhorns now control their own destiny in their region championship pursuit. With two wins, they can secure their first-ever region championship. They will face a Chattahoochee team that is winless this season on Friday. The Cougars’ offensive production has kept many of their losses somewhat close. However, the offense has been unable to overcome the 42 points per game their defense is allowing. The Longhorns are averaging 30 points per game on offense. Forsyth Central (3-5, 1-4) vs. Cambridge (6-2, 1-4) Cambridge now must win out to have a chance at winning the Region 7-AAAAA Division B title after being defeated by Riverwood 49-26 last week. Riverwood (7-2, 5-1) leapfrogged Cambridge at the top of the standings with the win. The Bears will take on a Forsyth Central team fresh off their first region win of the season. The Bulldogs defeated North Springs 56-14 last week.

Roswell dominates and gets another blowout win Hornets beat Woodstock 69-7 By JOE PARKER news@appenmediagroup.com
JOE PARKER/STAFF
Jayden Comma crosses the goal line for a touchdown. Comma had two touchdown receptions for the Hornets.
WOODSTOCK, Ga. — The last time the Roswell Hornets scored 60 points in a game, Dwight D. Eisenhower was president and the first McDonald’s franchise was just seven months old. It was November 1955. Sixty years later, the Hornets would set team records for most points scored in a game and largest margin of victory as they defeated the Woodstock Wolverines 69-7. It was also the worst loss margin for Woodstock in their school’s history. Roswell (8-0, 7-0) continued to do what it has done all season— dominate on both sides of the ball. Through eight games, Roswell’s average margin of victory is 44 points as they are averaging 50 points on offense while their defense is allowing just six points per game. Hornet’s quarterback Quintarius Neely went 11-14 for 183 yards and three touchdowns with five rushes for 20 yards. Neely played just 2 1/2 quarters before backup Walt Warren replaced him as the Hornets led 55-0. Halfback Sheldon Evans, the team’s leading rusher, had 11 rushes for 74 yards and three touchdowns. Before backups were brought in, the Hornets had already compiled 193 yards rushing from six rushers. Defensively, Roswell shut down Woodstock QB Liam Byrne, who entered the game with nearly 1,200 yards passing while sharing the QB duties. Koby Cumberlander made his pres-
ence felt throughout game, with multiple hurries and four sacks. Linebacker Tre’ Lamar, who was selected to the Under Armour All-America Game earlier in the week, consistently brought pressure to Byrne and forced a sack. Tyrone Hopper also had a sack for the Hornets. Roswell’s secondary never allowed Woodstock receivers to create space, giving the front four and linebackers a chance to take down Byrne and force errant throws. Senior safety Jacob Ballard intercepted Byrne twice. It took Roswell just 1:06 to find their way onto the scoreboard after a 50-yard drive was capped by a 10-yard Neely touchdown pass to Jayden Comma. Neely and Comma hooked up for another touchdown, this time for 62 yards, to extend their lead to 14-0. Sheldon Evans scored the next two touchdowns for the Hornets, both inside the 5-yard line. Neely found the end zone three more times through the air and George Arowselu added a rushing touchdown to give the Hornets a 48-0 lead at halftime. Roswell began the second half with three rushes from Evans that combined for 52 yards, the last being an 8-yard rush for a touchdown. With a 55-0 lead, backups for the Hornets offense were subbed-in and would finish the game. Roswell sits atop the Region 5-AAAAAA standings and are the only undefeated team in the region. They will face Cherokee (4-4, 2-5) this Friday before finishing out the season against a talented Etowah team that is currently 7-1 in region play.

Wesleyan student honored for perfect SAT ALPHARETTA, Ga. —Andy Yang, an Alpharetta resident and an eighth-grader of Wesleyan School in Peachtree Corners, was honored Oct. 18 as one of the brightest middle school students in the world at an international awards ceremony sponsored by the Johns Hopkins University Center for Talented Youth (CTY). The Center honored Yang for his exceptional performance as a middle school student on the college SAT test as part of the annual CTY Talent Search. CTY uses above-grade-level tests, such as the college SAT, ACT, or similar for middle school students, because they provide a clear picture of advanced students’ true academic abilities. As a seventh grader, Yang scored a perfect 800 on the math section of SAT in the 2014-2015 CTY Talent
SHARE
Search. As a result, Yang was also invited to join CTY’s Study of Exceptional Talent (SET), a select group of profoundly YANG gifted students worldwide who achieve a score of 700 or higher on SAT reading or math before the age of 13. Andy’s score of 800 on the SAT-M as a seventh grader is superb. Considering that Andy earned a perfect score on this portion of the test, it is possible that his true score would have been even higher than 800 if the ceiling was raised,» said Michelle Muratori, CTY’s Senior counselor and researcher of study of exceptional talent. —Isabelle Nguyen

Alpharetta High School donates to Primrose School ALPHARETTA, Ga. - On Friday, Oct. 9, Alpharetta High School’s head coach and director of cheerleading, Katie Arnold, put together a football Friday event for Primrose School.
Alpharetta High School’s varsity cheerleaders and varsity football players donated books and read to each of the classrooms. They also talked to the students about being involved
in high school activities, and they spent time playing with the students. The students at Primrose made banners for the varsity football team and were involved in a pep rally. “Primrose does an amazing
job at getting the community involved and bringing relevant and interesting guest speakers and teachers into their school,” Katie Arnold said. “One of the main goals I have for my team this year is for them to be more
visible in the community and volunteer, teaching them to give back is very important to me. This opportunity presented itself and everyone had a blast.” -Zenzele Price-Richardson

The SAM award recognizes the outstanding accomplishments of deserving Student-Athletes in the greater North Fulton area. Winners are chosen from nominations made by area athletic directors and coaches, and based on extraordinary academic proficiency, exceptional athletic accomplishments, and dedication to civic action. Mikaela Gauthreux, a senior volleyball player from Johns Creek High School, was named the Female Student-Athlete of the Month for September. As of the date of the award, Gauthreux had 809 kills, 102 blocks, 597 digs and 129 aces. She selected to the All-Area team her sophomore and junior years. She was awarded the Johns Creek HS volleyball team’s Best Defen-
sive Player Award her junior year. Off the court, Gauthreux received the Scholar Athlete award her past two seasons on the Varsity team. She is an active member of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes, Young Life and the Gladiator Army. “She is always the first player on the court and the last player off,” said Coach Beth Stephens. “Whether setting up or taking down the nets or just shagging balls she does whatever it takes. She understands that the team plays like they practice so she goes all out which only makes both her and her teammates better and more prepared for the their opponents. Mikaela is a smart volleyball player who truly knows the game and knows what she needs to do to be successful.” Brian Mocarski, a junior football player from Holy Spirit Preparatory School, is the Male Student- Athlete of the Month for September.

pus activities. He attended the Saint Joseph's Cohort Appalachian summer service trip to Tennessee to help build homes for people in need. He is also a member of Delta Omega, a boys’ service fraternity. “He is a quiet and calm leader, who leads by example,” said Coach David Rosenzweig. “No one ever has any bad words to say about him. His teammates all admire him and play with a certain confidence
knowing he's with them on the field. He had to learn a brand new offense over summer practices. I already have full trust in him to run our new offense. He is an exceptional studentathlete who maximizes his abilities on and off the field. When he graduates it will be a true loss to our community and we will miss his wonderful example of a Holy Spirit Prep student.” —Isabelle Nguyen

Alpharetta High School hosts 21 French exchange students ALPHARETTA, Ga. – Twentyone French exchange students from the Lycée Saint-Jean Hulst in Versailles, France, are experiencing American culture and high school through an exchange organized by AHS French teacher, Katherine Rozei and Saint-Jean Hulst English teacher Bénédicte Applegate. The French students are staying Oct. 19-29 with AHS host families and shadowing their host brother or sister’s class schedules. In addition to interacting with AHS French classes and taking other academic classes with their host student, the French high schoolers have
made an appearance on the AHS Morning Show, attended their first football game and compared their systems of student government with the AHS Student Government. They also learned how to trick-ortreat at an after-school French Club Halloween party. On two different days, the French exchange students took field trips to Atlanta to visit the Martin Luther King Center, the World of Coke, the Atlanta History Center and CNN. Alpharetta students will go to Lycée Saint-Jean Hulst in April to learn about French culture and schools. —Jonathan Copsey

Local teen receives national honor for volunteer work By ISABELLE NGUYEN news@appenmedia.com MILTON, Ga. – Tess Luman, of Milton, will receive the Daily Point of Light Award on Nov. 4 for her volunteer work with animal rescue. The award will be presented by The Points of Light Foundation, a nonprofit organization dedicated to volunteer service. The Daily Point of Light Award is given to a person who gives volunteer service to help within their communities. Luman’s volunteer efforts have focused on animal rescue. Over the past four years, Luman has dedicated 600 hours of volunteer service with the Forsyth County Animal Rescue. As Luman explained, “Every year in the U.S., 10 million cats and dogs enter a shelter and more than half are put down because there is no room to keep them until they are adopted.” Last school year, she organized a pet food fundrais-

said. Spencer said the area is blighted and needs improvement, but work needs to be done first. “We need relief on our roadways before we put something there,” he said. “But we have to be careful of what we won’t allow so we don’t get what we don’t want.” Namely, the 1 million square feet of office. “I like the concept but it doesn’t make sense. It will be really expensive to live there. How will millennials afford that?” asked Porter, himself a millennial. “And our traffic problems would only get worse.” What are ways to revitalize Holcomb Bridge Road? Wynn said Riverwalk would be one way, but she is more concerned with the northwest quadrant of the Holcomb Bridge/ Ga. 400 intersection. It is a high crime area, she said, and needs to be redeveloped. Proposals for the Big Creek Parkway bridge and a new MARTA station would help. “We’re not ever going to get rid of traffic but I hope one of these projects will solve some problems,” she said. Palermo took issue with city policies that are not enticing enough for redevelopment. “There are no motivations or incentives for [developers],” he said, “and speculators are holding on to properties.” The City Green development? Roswell is proposing a $15 million renovation to the woods between City Hall and Ga. 9/ Canton Street. A town green would be created, linking the two sides. The Faces of War Vietnam Memorial and the World War II Memorial are planned to be moved to one side of the green. Dippolito called the overall project “wonderful.” “There is strength when there is activity on both sides of the street,” he said. “Here we have retail with woods on the other side [of the street]. The Green ties it all together.” It would open Canton Street with the parking attached to City Hall. Currently, the woods bisect the two areas. Zapata, his opponent, did not disagree, but took issue with the project. “It has huge potential, but

That money could be better spent elsewhere, he said. Gray called it a “vanity project” and said the two war memorials should not be moved. His opponent, Porter, agreed. “We want to preserve green space but not our history?” he asked. “It’s embarrassing and offensive. The only Post 3 candidate to support the project was Spencer. “Duluth did the same and it turned out well. We can do the same here,” he said. “But I would rather not move the memorials.” Transportation The state recently passed a law allowing counties to enact a penny sales tax to be applied strictly to transportation projects. “We need a comprehensive, regional plan. If we don’t have that, we don’t go anywhere,” said Wynn. Ultimately, she said, citizens will have to vote on whether to spend that penny sales tax on projects. Palermo agreed. “We can all agree … we need to improve transportation,” he said. “We need to take this to the taxpayers,” said Dippolito. “There is a tremendous need [for the penny tax]. There are more projects than we could ever fund.”
JONATHAN COPSEY/STAFF
Hatcher Hurd, of the Alpharetta-Roswell Revue and News, was moderator of the forum.
Zapata said that, beyond the penny tax, the city needs to work on a better partnership with the regional players, including the county and MARTA, for better connectivity and lessening traffic. The Roswell City Council elections are Nov. 3. The Roswell Woman’s Club is an all-volunteer, nonprofit 501(c)(3) corporation whose common interest is to support Roswell in the areas of educational scholarships and grants, human services, cultural arts, historical preservation and urban improvement.

In Memoriam
Marjean Wood Birt M
Marjean Wood Birt of Alpharetta died peacefully on Thursday October, 15, 2015. Marjean was born in Milton, Georgia and except for college and a few years in Pennsylvania, was a life long resident of her beloved North Fulton County where her ancestors settled in the early 1800s. However, for 25 years Marjean and her beloved husband Lucas spent their summers by the seashore in Lucas’s birthplace of Prince Edward Island, Canada. Marjean grew up at Alpharetta First Baptist but as an adult was a member of Mount Paran Church where for many years she sang in the choir and taught the Business Women’s Sunday School Class. Marjean was a proud alumna of Milton High School and Lee University, where she majored in business and psychology. She also attended the University of Tennessee and the University of Georgia. While living in Pennsylvania Marjean was president of the 1000 + member Erie County Republican Women’s Club. Marjean was a founding member and president for decades of the Chattahoochee Republican Women’s Club. For many years she served on the State Committee of the Georgia GOP. In 2013 she was honored as “Georgia Republican Woman of the Year.” Marjean was deeply committed to the Alpharettta Women’s Club as club President for 30 years.

Marjean was the first Executive Director of the North Fulton Chamber of Commerce. She was founding member and served as Director of the Alpharetta historical Society. She was honored as the “North Fulton Citizen of the Year” in 1974. Marjean also served on the Fulton County Educational Advisory Board and the Kennesaw College Board of Directors. Marjean loved North Fulton and was a true civic servant who worked tirelessly for the betterment of the community in many ways. Her past efforts included working with the Cherokee Nation to preserve and protect the Cherokee’s sacred sites in the area. During President Nixon’s term she had the opportunity to meet with him in the Oval Office. Marjean was preceeded in death by her beloved husband Lucas and by her dear parents Henry and Minnie McClain Wood. She is survived by her only child Heather Birt Graff (Sloane) and her adored grandchildren Sloane IV (Trapper), Eli and Isabel Graff. Those wishing to make gifts in memory of Marjean are asked to contribute to a North Fulton or Christian charity. More importantly, the family asks that friends honor Marjean’s memory through service for the betterment of their comunity.
and won’t adopt them out due to fear of horrible people adopting them to do harm or people wanting them as props during the Halloween season. There are countless stories of people buying or adopting black cats near Halloween to mistreat the animals and some rumors of horrifying tales of black cats being sacrificed. Now, I don’t know how much of that is true, but the fact remains that black cats are often overlooked or ignored at animal shelters, which might be why Ed had been left behind years earlier.
It’s also true that black dogs are usually forgotten when families are choosing a new pet. This is disheartening to me because all homeless animals deserve to be loved. Next time you or your family or friends are considering bringing a new furry family member into the picture, consider a black cat or dog. I can guarantee they will be one of the best pets you’ve ever had, maybe even the very best. Plus, who doesn’t want a mini-panther around their house? And if you don’t like them, well, feel free to bring them to me.
team. Pinecrest is coming off of a 34-21 victory over Fellowship Christian. King’s Ridge only win this season came against Whitefield Academy on Oct. 9.
This Friday, the Hornets will travel back to Cherokee County to take on the Cherokee Warriors, who have lost three straight games. With a win and an Etowah loss, Roswell will secure the Region 6-AAAAAA championship. If Roswell is upset by the Warriors, they would still win the region title with a win over Etowah next week. Roswell’s average margin of victory this year is a staggering 44 points per game.
Roswell (8-0, 7-0) vs. Cherokee (4-4, 2-4) In what will likely be a season full of team records, Roswell is coming off a 69-7 win over Woodstock that set team records for points scored in a game and margin of victory.
