Milton honors its veterans New park dedicated to fallen

By JONATHAN COPSEY jonathan@northfulton.com

Milton’s City Council declared November Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Month in the city.

MILTON, Ga. – This year, Veterans Day came to Milton in a big way.

Each year, the city and Councilmember Bill Lusk line Deerfield Parkway with crosses to honor local soldiers who have died.

Lusk, a Vietnam veteran, and a group of local volunteers place more than 330 “Fallen Veteran” markers on Deerfield Parkway and in Crabapple.

These markers are placed every Memorial Day and Veterans Day by the volunteers at no cost to taxpayers the week before the holiday, and stay up

a week after. Lusk makes them all by hand and at his own expense.

This year, in addition to the markers, Milton chose Veterans Day to open its new park, named “Freedom Park” in honor of the city’s soldiers.

On Nov. 11 at 10:45 a.m., the city held a service both opening the park and remembering those who have given their lives for their country.

“Opening Freedom Park on Veterans Day is an appropriate tribute to our veterans, for it has been the veterans who have ensured our freedom for the last 234 years,” said Lusk.

Milton puts a face to pancreatic cancer Honors late Milton H.S. coach Mike Scott

By SAVANNAH LEE news@northfulton.com MILTON, Ga. – Mayor Joe Lockwood proclaimed November to be Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Month at the regular City Council meeting Monday, Nov. 4.

Lockwood said he wanted to do more than recognize November for pancreatic cancer; he dedicated the proclamation to coach Mike Scott, who died in December 2012 at age 36, less than two months after he

was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer.

“I’d like to make this more than just a proclamation on a terrible disease and cancer, but also bring it in perspective of a personal loss we all had,” Lockwood said.

Coach Scott was a teacher and football coach at Milton High School. His wife Mary Jane Scott spoke at the City Council meeting and shared the words his players had used to describe him, “tough, loyal, hilarious, passionate,

fun-loving, supportive, legendary, mentor, role model, best friend and father.”

“Mike faced his pending death with wit, grace, dignity and an unyielding faith that has inspired me to be a better woman and has made me so proud to have been his wife,” she said. “He was as strong and fearless in death as he was in life.”

Pancreatic cancer is currently the fourth leading cause of cancer-related death in the U.S. and is projected by

MILTON, Ga. – A man accused of running down a Sandy Springs police officer Oct. 28 has been linked to a series of crimes in Milton.

Collin Lee Daves, 18, of Sandy Springs, was arrested

by Sandy Springs Police Oct. 28 after he allegedly tried to run down one of their officers and drove a stolen car into two police vehicles. During that incident, Daves was shot in the leg by an officer.

He was taken to a nearby

hospital and then transferred to Fulton County Jail. In processing, Sandy Springs detectives recognized Daves from a lookout posted by Milton detectives earlier in the month.

On Oct. 10, a concerned resident alerted Milton officers to a suspicious vehicle parked near the clubhouse of the Hermitage neighborhood off Cogburn Road. Investigators found the car had been reported stolen out of Sandy Springs.

Detectives began compiling reports and suspected the same person was likely responsible for the recovered stolen car and a report of a stolen car just five days earlier in the same neighborhood.

Compounding this belief were a rash of entering auto reports filed just a few days prior in the immediate area. In the recovered vehicle from Sandy Springs, detectives found items belonging to one of the entering auto victims from Milton.

Drivers concerned over road rage JOHNS CREEK, Ga. – Two conflicting stories confuse a case of road rage.

One caller told 911 that on Oct. 21, she was driving on McGinnis Ferry Road and turned westbound onto Sargent Road. When the road turned from two lanes into one, the caller said a car aggressively cut her off. Telling police she wanted to speak with the driver, she began following him and flashing her lights. The suspect car turned onto Barton Place and stopped.

The caller also stopped and got out of her car to yell at the driver. The suspect car then drove again, turned around and the driver allegedly pointed a pistol at her and drove off.

At the same time, police received a call from a driver who said he was being followed by someone flashing their lights at him. Upon questioning the

Tip leads to arrest of 2 for prowling Possibly related to entering auto ROSWELL, Ga. – Two Roswell men were arrested after they were allegedly spotted by a Martin’s Landing resident Nov. 4 rummaging through her car.

The victim reported she saw a young man standing at her car, WILBURN rummaging through her trunk at 3:30 a.m. in the Martin’s Landing neighborhood. The vehicle was parked in her driveway. She called 911 and yelled at the suspect, who ran away.

The victim’s 33-year-old son got into his car and searched the area for the susMYERS pect. He found someone MCKINNEY matching the description, Dequan Myers-McKinney, 21, of Canyon Point Circle, Roswell, who was walking through the neighborhood.

The son called 911 and stayed on the phone with them while he followed Myers-McKinney. Police arrived and questioned him. He allegedly had on him six cellphones, various phone

chargers and multiple ID cards, including Social Security cards, driver’s licenses and credit cards all belonging to different people.

According to Roswell Police Spokeswoman Lisa Holland, police suspect the items were stolen from vehicles in the neighborhood over the past month.

Myers-McKinney was arrested for loitering and prowling, however more charges may be added. A second suspect was found in the area riding a bike. Malcolm Abdul Wilburn, 18, of Sheringham Court, Roswell, was a friend of Myers-McKinney. He was found to have a ski mask and gloves in his possession. He was charged with loitering and prowling and obstruction.

Because neither man could be conclusively connected to breaking into the victim’s car, charges of entering auto have not been filed. Holland said calling 911 is the best option when seeing suspicious activity. “We keep trying to promote calling 911,” Holland said.

“People who live in these neighborhoods know these neighborhoods. They know their neighbors.

If they see something suspicious, they should call 911. That’s what 911 is for.”

However she cautioned against following suspects. “[The victim’s son] didn’t try to apprehend the guy,” she said. “He followed at a distance and called 911. He didn’t get involved and have a physical altercation with him.”

Local stores caught selling booze to minors Undercover police catch a third of package stores

By JONATHAN COPSEY jonathan@northfulton.com MILTON, Ga. – Five local businesses were singled out by police Oct. 30 for selling alcohol to minors.

In Milton’s first investigation of the kind, Milton Police partnered with a 20-year-old man to send him into every store that sold packaged alcohol in the city. He then attempted to buy alcohol. He

was explicitly told not to lie or hide his age – if asked for his license, he would provide it; if asked his age, he would give it.

Every business of the kind was targeted, said Milton Police Capt. Shawn McCarty.

“We got a couple of complaints about businesses selling to minors,” McCarty said.

“If we’re going to [investigate], we’re going to do everybody.”

The minor would attempt to buy the alcohol. If he failed, a plain clothes officer would identify himself and explain the situation to the store workers.

If the minor succeeded, the same thing would happen,

along with a citation.

Five local businesses failed the test when cashiers working the registers failed to stop the transaction.

The Beverage Depot on Ga. 9, Beverage Mart on Ga. 9, the Publix supermarket on Ga. 9, the Aldi supermarket on Ga. 9 and the Shell gas station on Crabapple Road all failed to stop the young man from buying alcohol.

According to police reports, the Beverage Depot worker said he had gotten his dates mixed up; the Beverage Mart claimed the undercover man looked older than he was. The reports make no notes on how

the others made the mistakes.

There are 15 businesses in Milton that sell alcohol. To have five fail is a third of the city’s package stores.

“I was surprised it was that many,” McCarty said.

“I’m 39 years old and I still get carded.”

While he said the investigation was successful, McCarty said Milton Police have no plans to conduct a similar one on restaurants or similar businesses.

“This was complaint driven,” he said.

If a package store fails multiple times, the city may take its license away.

3 sentenced for Community reviews Ga. 9 role in failed bank North Visioning Study ALPHARETTA, Ga. – Douglas Ballard, Guy Mitchell and Joseph Todd Foster were sentenced Nov. 6 for their roles in a conspiracy to commit bribery and bank fraud, insider trading and tax evasion that occurred at the now-failed Integrity Bank, which was headquartered in Alpharetta and closed in 2008.

Ballard, 44, of Alpharetta, a former executive vice president at the bank, received more than $200,000 in cash bribes from Mitchell, 54, of Miami, Fla., the bank’s largest borrower. At the same time in 2006, when Ballard was being bribed, he allowed Mitchell to draw more than $7 million from a loan that was supposed to be used for renovation and construction at a hotel in California, despite the fact that no renovation or construction work was done. Instead, Mitchell used the money to buy an island in the Bahamas, travel by private jet, purchase basketball tickets, buy jewelry and expensive cars and a mansion in Florida.

Mitchell received $20 million in additional business loans from Integrity Bank after the hotel loan proceeds were exhausted, and he continued to use some of that money for impermissible, personal expenses. Mitchell defaulted on the loans and Integrity Bank eventually failed.

Foster, 46, of Blakely, Ga., was Integrity Bank’s vice president in charge of risk management. He sold nearly all

of his Integrity stock in August 2006 based on materially adverse information about the company that was not available to the public. Specifically, Foster knew that the bank was in an increasingly precarious position because of Mitchell’s financial difficulties and pending default.

Ballard was sentenced to two years and six months in federal prison, to be followed by three years of supervised release. He pled guilty to conspiracy to commit bank fraud and bribery and income tax evasion. Mitchell was sentenced to five years in prison, to be followed by three years of supervised release. He pled guilty to conspiring to commit bank fraud and bribery. Foster was sentenced to three years of probation and 120 hours of community service. He pled guilty to securities fraud.

MILTON, Ga. – A meeting was held Wednesday, Nov. 6 to update the public and gather feedback on the Ga. 9 Visioning Study.

In April, Michael Elliott was hired to work with neighbors and property owners to reach a consensus on development of two subareas within the Ga. 9 Visioning Study that needed special treatment.

One subarea is located at the corner of Bethany Bend and Cogburn Road, and the other is on either side of Five Acre Road and Ga. 9.

Each area had special concerns with how the land would be used.

Elliott held several meetings for each location to reach a general agreement.

A developer was working with the property owners of the Bethany Bend and Cogburn Road area and used the right to move forward with rezoning.

The developer agreed to work within the general agreement reached at the meetings Elliott facilitated.

The interest and concerns of the community were to minimize traffic

The community wanted the privacy of the neighbors to be protected. Concerns of higher density redevelopment were also raised.

The proposed plan for the Bethany Bend special treatment area is for 28 single-family house lots, with 75 feet of undisturbed natural buffer to the north.

The sewer is proposed to be a private sewer sized for 28 residential units. There would be one entrance on Bethany Bend.

The application for rezoning will go before the Milton Planning Commission Nov. 20 and then before the City Council on Dec. 16.

The second special treatment area has a conceptual plan that meets the general agreement from the meetings with the Five Acre and Ga. 9 stakeholders and neighbors. The interests and concerns raised for this location include traffic, safety, character of the area and look and feel of the Five Acre Road entrance. A list of acceptable and unacceptable uses was made and a height limitation of 28 feet or two stories was set.

With the information gathered in the community meetings, staff will write a report to be presented to the design review board at a later date.

By LAURA JONES news@northfulton.com ALPHARETTA, Ga. — Hands of Love USA held its third annual gala and silent auction at the Metropolitan Club in Alpharetta on Friday, Oct. 25 to benefit the orphaned and abandoned children of Uganda.

Exotic to contemporary Ugandan handcrafted artwork captivated 300 guests.

The auction raised nearly $120,000, all of which will go directly to Uganda schools and orphanages.

Hands of Love began in 2007, when Pastor Elijah Sebuchu founded an orphanage for the thousands of children wandering the streets and bush of Uganda aimlessly.

Sebuchu, who was at the event, said he recognized a need to help grow the future of Uganda.

The gala and fundraiser auctioned works of art that each raised between $100 and $15,000.

Pieces included jewelry made from magazine strips that had been turned into beads, wooden sculptured bowls depicting giraffes and elephants and banana leaf paintings that reveal superior

Jeanette Wheatley looking at jewelry on an animal sculpture. craftsmanship from the people of Uganda.

In a country riddled by repeat cycles of war, disease and extreme poverty, each work of Ugandan art proudly showed triumph over disparity.

Much of the auctioned art was created by the students of the Hands of Love schools.

In addition, 45 children and three staff members are now being sponsored and receiving assistance.

To show their support for a cause, the Metropolitan Club donated many of their services that night. Many felt that was rewarding in itself, knowing

that children would benefit.

Program co-founder Anna Latshaw said she is amazed how much interest has grown over the three years since the galas began and how they encourage more awareness and bring more families to sponsor children.

“We anticipate the galas to continue to raise awareness each year and to continue increasing the number of children sponsored,” said Latshaw.

Magnet school options explored Fulton officals go north for inspiration

By CANDY WAYLOCK candy@northfulton.com ATLANTA – A glimpse into the future of the Fulton County School System could include a series of magnet schools drawing students to specialized curriculums, or a school bus system that mimics a city bus route with numerous stops.

As options for K-12 education expand each year through charter, private and parochial

schools, public schools are being pressed to offer programs that attract students – and parents. It sometimes comes down to marketing, say school officials.

“We are [committed to] the idea of choice and giving parents and the community options in education,” said Fulton Schools Superintendent Robert Avossa. “Some parents want their kids focused on STEM (science, technology, engineering, math) or the arts, and we have to find ways to meet those needs.”

The move two years ago to charter system status for Fulton Schools was the first rung on the ladder. Local schools now have options for flexibility and customization within their curriculum by being freed from many of the state mandates that potentially stifle creativity.

On Oct. 30, members of the Fulton County Board of Education and central office staff visited Charlotte (N.C.)Mecklenburg Schools to view a dozen magnet schools in the system. Beginning in the 1990s, the large North Carolina system began developing magnet schools to deal with declining enrollments and a

more integrated school population.

Today, about 30 of the system’s 165 schools offer magnet programs, enrolling about 20 percent of their students to schools that offer such themes as Montessori, International Baccalaureate, world languages, military leadership and others.

It was a homecoming of sorts for Avossa, who came to Fulton Schools in 2011 from Charlotte-Mecklenburg after serving as the district’s chief strategy officer.

He explained the purpose for the visit from the Fulton contingent was not a sales call for a particular program, but more of an exploration into options.

“I did not want to focus on what [board members] liked or did not like about each school, but to think differently about the choices and options for our own community,” said Avossa.

For the board members, the experience was beneficial.

“Every school was unique, and a common thread was their emphasis on staff development,” said Fulton Board President Linda Schultz of Roswell, who visited a STEM, language academy and early years IB schools. “I would like

the [Fulton] school system to offer additional magnet options for students, and look forward to a board discussion on the topic.”

Julia Bernath, whose district covers Roswell and Sandy Springs, also found value in the visit.

“I found it very exciting to learn about different delivery models and methods in which CMS district is offering choice across their district,” said Bernath. “The trip provided a lot of food for thought as we continue on our charter system journey.”

Avossa said the school board will discuss the concepts this month and determine the next steps for Fulton Schools.

The challenge facing Fulton is geography, and transporting students from one area of the county to schools outside their attendance zones.

Currently, parents who opt for choice outside their home school must provide transportation; a burden and barrier for many.

Avossa said he would like to explore what other school systems offer, which is a bus system that doesn’t rely on school buses traveling routes to one school, then back to the base. Instead, buses would have various stop and deliver-

ies.

One element that will come before any decision is an understanding of what the community wants. The illfated Connected Academy in Alpharetta serves as a constant reminder of imposing a solution prior to determining a need.

The high school opened in 2006, then shut down three years later after having never developed a clear vision or attracting sufficient students.

There are currently two magnet programs in Fulton County Schools: North Springs Charter High School (arts, math/science) in Sandy Springs and Westlake High School (math/ science) in South Fulton.

Volunteers work on the newest addition to the American Legion facility - a large covered deck.

Legion gets Home Depot facelift Vet foundation helps Post 201

By JONATHAN COPSEY jonathan@northfulton.com ALPHARETTA, Ga. – The aging American Legion Post 201 building got a facelift Nov. 7 courtesy of the Home Depot Foundation and 250 Home Depot volunteers.

Built in 1968, Post 201 is showing its age. Decades of use have deteriorated the building along its edges, wearing down wood, dimming its luster.

The Home Depot Foundation set out to change that.

It all started with a desire by the Legion Riders for a $5,000 grant to build a deck.

“The American Legion [Post 201] reached out to us through our small grants program,” said Valeria Cox, the foundation’s field specialist for the South. “It’s such an incredible community post.” The Legion wanted to build a deck in the rear of the building and sought help in paying for materials.

The project caught the eye of the Home

Depot Foundation.

Cox said representatives went out and asked the Legion for a wish list of projects.

From there, it was just a matter of getting it done – improvements to the baseball field and exterior touchups will add to complete renovations of the meeting hall and the bar and join the brand new porch to rejuvenate the 40-year-old facility.

“We want to help them out in the best way we can, by doing what we do best,” Cox said.

The Home Depot Foundation was started in 2011 with a five-year commitment of $80 million to ensure every veteran has a safe place to call home.

They focus on housing as part of a “Celebration of Service” campaign.

“This is an enormous contribution

by Home Depot,” said Marty Farrell, Post 201 commander. “I can’t begin to express our level of gratitude. This is the biggest, most significant contribution to the organization since it’s been located here.”

For more on the Home Depot Foundation, visit them online at www.Homedepotfoundation.org or on Facebook at Home Depot Foundation.

High school Interact Clubs target teen texting, driving Cambridge, Independence, Milton clubs raising awareness of distracted driving

From left are Margaret Pupillo, area executive director for the Northwest Learning Community of Fulton County Schools, Hopewell Middle Principal Michael LeMoyne and Peter Carpenter of Thoroughbred Design Group.

Hopewell Middle dedicates new atrium NORTH FULTON, Ga. – On Oct. 10, the Hopewell Middle School community celebrated the completion of the school’s newly updated atrium. It is truly an inspiring work of art by Peter Carpenter of Thoroughbred Design Group.

Carpenter’s design was inspired by the HMS mission statement, which states, “The Hopewell Middle School

community will teach, inspire and empower all students to achieve their potential.”

Hanging from three of the panels are banners with the words Teach, Inspire and Empower. The atrium is unrivaled in terms of the beauty of the work, as well as its clear connection to the work of teachers and the content students are exposed to every day.

ALPHARETTA, Ga. – Interact Clubs from Cambridge, Independence and Milton high schools have made the dangers of texting and calling while driving a focus in their respective schools.

The clubs filmed videos, set up awareness campaigns and held pledge signing events at school and around the community during the month of October.

The goal is to raise awareness about distracted driving and to get a commitment from their club members and peers to put their cellphones away while driving and drive distraction-free.

The Distracted Driving Campaign Challenge is run by the Rotary Club of Alpharetta, and all three of the club’s affiliated Interact Clubs were encouraged to participate.

The challenge allows Interact Clubs from three area high schools to earn funds for community service projects.

The clubs will collecting the most distracted driving pledges, creating videos about distracted driving and running awareness campaigns with

press releases, signage, Facebook and Twitter messages.

“Distracted driving is any activity that could divert a person’s attention away from the primary task of driving,” said Mary Ulich, Alpharetta Rotary’s youth service director.

“We are focusing on texting and phone calls while driving as this is a high distraction for teens in our community.

Our Interact Clubs at Cambridge, Independence and Milton are working hard in October to bring awareness to this community problem.

And in the process, they can earn up to $500 for their community service projects.”

‘IRISH PUBS IN AMERICA’ »

Authors collaborate on ‘definitive’ Irish pubs book This coffee table book meant to be read

By HATCHER HURD hatcher@northfulton.com MILTON, Ga. – It sounds like a dream job. Travel across America, visit – and sample – the wares of Irish pubs, and then write a book about one’s exploits. Or maybe it is just a mid-life crisis fantasy.

But for the two Milton men who did it – Ron Wallace and Robert Meyers – it was more like a labor of love. And the product of that labor is “Irish Pubs in America: History, Lore and Recipes.”

Meyers caused a stir with his well-received photo book, “Barns of Old Milton County.”

He created an arresting photographic record that documented the area’s vanishing landmarks. His histories of these barns also tell the history of the people who first settled Milton.

Wallace, former president of UPS International, has written a book on organizing political campaigns, “Power of the Campaign Pyramid: Hope Is Not a Strategy,” which has quickly become the Bible for aspiring

political candidates.

Wallace had admired his friend’s book on Milton’s barns, and the way it not only was an extraordinary picture book but delved into the history of the structures. Meyers half-jokingly said they should collaborate on a book about Irish pubs.

That set Wallace to thinking. He owns two Irish pubs, both called The Olde Blind Dog, with one in Crabapple and one in Brookhaven. The more he thought about it, the more he liked the idea. It took all of two seconds to talk Meyers into collaborating.

“There is something of a mystical quality that every

Irish pub has,” said Wallace.

“You can travel the world to Mumbai, Hong Kong or San Francisco and there will be an Irish pub there. But we concentrated on just the ones in America.

“They all have the same qualities,” he said. “All have the same food, the same music and a lot of junk on the wall.

But there is still something special about an Irish pub.”

Wallace says it has to do with the roots of pubs in Ireland. It was the public place to meet.

“It is no coincidence that the words public and the Irish word for the owner/bartender

CrossFit workouts driven by community

By CAITLIN WAGENSEIL caitlin@northfulton.com ROSWELL, Ga. – CrossFit Zanshin gym owner Pete Mongeau said the fitness regimen at his facility is not individual driven — it’s all about community.

Mongeau, head coach of the newly opened CrossFit Zanshin, 1570 Holcomb Bridge Road, Suite 120, said everyone is involved in the workouts, helping each other achieve and set their goals.

“We make introductions every class, so that everyone knows everyone. There are no headphones or treadmills — if we’re going to run, we run outside, together,” Mongeau said.

And Mongeau said CrossFit is not a typical workout program.

“It’s constant varied functional training for all ages and levels,” Mongeau said. “I have kids who are high school athletes, and then I have clients in their 60s, so it ranges in age and skill ability.”

Mongeau said that working together, in small groups, forces people to step outside of their comfort zones and work harder.

“I designed a program that combines both MMA Striking along with Thai kickboxing, this gives our Athlete's the ability to hit heavy bags in combination with their CrossFit workout,” he said.

This training caters to emergency first responders, fire department, police and military personnel Mongeau said.

Because community is so important to Mongeau, he gives back by holding a “Community Giveback Day” every Saturday at 10 a.m. that allows those living in the area to receive a free CrossFit workout.

“It adds a personal touch, because community is key in the CrossFit environment,” Mongeau said. “It gives people a place to call home.”

A LONG VIEW ON NORTH FULTON »

Are we smart enough to take it?

I don’t think many would look around and curse all the new home building in our area.

After the recession and long slog out (we’re still working our way out), to see both new homes and existing inventory selling, more people working and businesses in our area doing better is a great thing.

On top of that, Avalon and the City Center in Alpharetta are coming up out of the ground. With them will come a more vibrant downtown with new restaurants and shops.

Avalon will be an area destination bringing in tax dollars from more than just North Fulton residents.

As our identity grows and changes – so does our area.

As things are beginning to boom again, I don’t know if our elected officials in Alpharetta, Milton, Johns Creek and Roswell are taking the long view.

If we’re simply renewing our development approach from before the recession without thought on what things will look like and how traffic will flow when there is no more land to develop, then we’re bound to all the negative outcomes sprawl brings.

Smart growth: More thought should be given to higherdensity residential around the developments of Avalon and our downtown areas. Walking and bike paths should be integrated into the plan along with mass transit options.

Consider townhomes and/ or luxury flats in place of the dilapidated strip center behind the Bank of America on Ga. 9 (across from the Dairy Queen).

Or, how about residential above retail in downtown Alpharetta, with luxury townhomes bordering it?

Michael Hadden over at New Urban Roswell speaks much more intelligently on this subject than I can, but I do know this: Sprawl begets sprawl.

Traffic: Having growth again is wonderful, but we are still approving and building a sea of subdivisions that are dumping two-plus cars per household onto our already crowded roads.

There are several roundabouts under construction, which are meant to aid in

keeping traffic moving, but we don’t seem to be considering what can help with traffic.

For instance, why do we continue to approve and build subdivisions with one way in and one way out? All the cars in that community funneled and dumped out at a single point on the same road that a dozen other subdivisions are dumping cars onto.

Public transportation / MARTA: Most of us believe that Avalon and the downtown development will be a hit, but here’s a question for you: What if Avalon and the downtown development are too successful? Think about the additional traffic coming to us…the destination…from the surrounding areas, on top of our current traffic flow.

I’m a proponent of MARTA and would love to see heavy rail come out to Alpharetta.

I agree it is an extremely expensive endeavor. The problem though is that it will be even more expensive down the road than it is now. If heavy rail isn’t the solution now – how can we plan for its need down the road rather than simply say, “No thanks?”

In the short term, we should come up with an alternative, because rest assured – growth will continue.

We can pay now or pay later: We are fortunate in North Fulton to have great schools and a strong business community.

Companies move to North Fulton and they relocate their employees here. Businesses like public transportation, and home values are higher if they are closer to public transportation.

If our local elected officials are only looking at what they think we need today, rather than in 10, 20 or 30 years, then they’re doing exactly what so many accuse Washington, D.C. of doing — passing the buck.

Thomas Eye Group expands Roswell office Newly renovated, expanded clinic offers complete eye care ROSWELL, Ga. – The Thomas Eye Group has finished renovations of their new building and company headquarters on Ga. 9. They held the formal unveiling Nov. 5.

Are your marketing efforts working well to attract new customers?

Do you have operational challenges now that your business is bigger than it was before?

All small business owners want to grow their business, but this comes with additional challenges, and if they are unanticipated, it could lead to diminishing returns.

Managing the growth of your small business is equally important to actually achieving the increase in customers and sales.

The operating model of your business before it grew may not be adequate now that it has grown bigger.

sion, has added two pediatric ophthalmologists allowing for complete eye care for its patients ranging from infants to seniors.

The office employs 24 employees and features a theater for pediatric patients and promises better patient flow as well as streamlined and enhanced patient care.

“The expanded office will offer new opportunities for the patient experience,” said Tim Couch, operations director for Thomas Eye Group Roswell. “The new amenities were designed with our pa-

tients in mind to further our ongoing commitment to providing personalized eye care with state-of-the-art facilities and experienced doctors.”

The company has consolidated its Alpharetta offices into the Roswell location, across from North Fulton Hospital at 11690 Ga. 9. The office is just 3 miles from the former pediatric location and offers a full optical shop for eyeglass and contact lens needs.

The group has eight locations throughout the metro Atlanta area.

More customers and more sales are a good thing, but only if you can manage it correctly.

If you outgrow your capacity to serve your customers, keep up with new orders and maintain your levels of service, operational changes need to be made.

Anticipating this in advance is a key component to continued business growth.

Planning for growth is the first step in the process.

Projecting your business growth in the future allows you to better plan what will be needed to accommodate a larger business.

Recovery and Prevention Tips for Foot and Ankle Sprains

By TRAVIS JONES, D.P.M., Northside Cherokee Orthopedics and Sports Medicine Your feet and ankles are made up of several bones

and ligaments. Ligaments are strong, flexible tissues that connect the bones to one another, providing stability to many joints. A sprain occurs when the foot lands

awkwardly, causing some ligaments to pull, stretch and tear. When the injury occurs to the middle part of the foot, it is called a foot sprain. Ankle and foot sprains are among the

most common types of injuries, especially among athletes. Still, simply tripping or stumbling on uneven ground is enough for anyone, athlete or not, to endure a sprain.

Pain, swelling, bruising and difficulty walking on the affected foot or ankle are some of the most common symptoms of a sprained or fractured foot or ankle.

If you suspect you have sprained your foot or ankle, remember the RICE method: Rest. Stay off the injured foot or ankle.

Ice. Apply ice around to the affected area as soon as possible and reapply it for 15–20 minutes every three or four hours for the first 48 hours after injury.

Compression. Snuggly wrap an elastic bandage (such as an Ace® wrap) around the affected foot or ankle.

Elevation. Keep your foot or ankle elevated as much as possible to reduce swelling.

Oral medications, such as ibuprofen, may also be used to help reduce inflammation.

Temporary bracing may be important to help reduce inflammation and help hold ligaments in place to heal properly. A brief course of physical therapy has also been shown to help in recovery.

More serious injuries such as fractures of the foot and ankle can often be mistaken as a common sprain. If your condition does not improve or you begin to experience increased pain, swelling, bruising and difficulty walking, it's important to seek out care with a physician.

In order to help prevent

injuries, it’s important to warm up properly before physical activity and undergo a proper stretching routine. Wear shoes that fit well and are activity specific. Exercises focusing on muscle strength, flexibility, and balance are also important components to preventing common injuries of the foot and ankle.

Dr. Travis Jones is a podiatrist at Northside Cherokee Orthopedics and Sports Medicine whose interests include reconstructive foot and ankle surgery for post traumatic deformities, foot and ankle trauma and diabetic limb salvage. Northside Cherokee Orthopedics and Sports Medicine is a full-service orthopedic practice that specializes in the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of disorders of the muscles, bones and joints.

Hearing better means living better Everyone wishes to live a happy healthy life. If you were to look at your health as a chain, you would see a connected series of links. Your brain, heart, lungs, eyes, and other organs are links which must all work together to keep the body functioning. Each link plays a vital role in the strength and performance of the chain and your overall good health. But, what happens if one of the links, such as the ability to hear, fails to work properly? Dr. Deborah Woodward is a Doctor of Audiology and is committed to be “your link to better hearing”.

Correcting a hearing impairment requires detailed knowledge of how ears respond to sound and familiarity with the latest technologies and hearing devices. Patients appreciate the “personal touch” Dr. Woodward gives. “It is important to establish a patient relationship based on professionalism and trust while focusing on their individual needs and lifestyle”, states Woodward. “Forget about what you know about hearing devices up to now. You’ll be amazed at how smart, how helpful, and how transforming better hearing can now be.”

The value of a strong hearing link is immeasurable. With Dr. Woodward’s expertise in providing solutions to hearing loss, patients regain their confidence in business and social situations and are not

embarrassed by inappropriate responses in conversations. In many cases, family harmony is restored, and a patient’s selfesteem is regained with their ability to hear and understand speech.

For the past twenty years, Dr. Deborah Woodward has been serving the hearing healthcare needs of the residents in the Johns Creek and surrounding areas and is in private practice at the Johns Creek Audiology & Hearing Aid Center.

Audiology services at Johns Creek Audiology include hearing evaluations; fitting of the latest hearing aid technology with a 45-day trial period; hearing aid service and supplies; custom ear molds for swimming; noise protection for hunters and musicians; and Cochlear implant and BAHA evaluations with mapping and programming.

ADHD – not just in children anymore Adult ADHD is associated with multiple comorbidities such as anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder and other personality disorders. Adult ADHD is a valid psychiatric disorder of adulthood distinct from these other conditions.

Adult attention deficit disorder differs from the childhood variant because the hyperactivity in adults may be replaced by other symptoms such as anxiety, impulsivity and inattentiveness. In fact, prior to 2002 there were no diagnostic guidelines, but there have been great advances since. Some of the symptoms that characterize Adult ADHD are:

ADHD is a relatively common psychiatric disorder among adults. The prevalence is thought to be 3.5%-5.3%, which accounts for more than 11 million cases in the United States alone. With increased public awareness, adult ADHD became a topic of great interest so clinicians should be able to diagnose, treat, and manage patients with this disorder.

Etiology is still uncertain. Genetics however is believed to play a prominent role, followed in importance by acquired injuries to the brain.

ADHD was widely thought to be strictly a disorder of childhood. Now there are numerous scientific papers and clinical trials that acknowledge the existence of an adult version of this disorder, which can be traced back to the younger years.

Before this time ADHD in adults was known as Minimal Brain Damage or Dysfunction (MBD).

1. Often fails to give close attention to details or makes careless mistakes in school-work, work or other activities.

2. Often has difficulty sustaining attention in tasks or play activities.

3. Often does not seem to listen when spoke to directly.

4. Often does not follow through on instructions and fails to finish schoolwork, chores or duties in the workplace (not due to oppositional behavior or failure to understand directions) 5. Often has difficulty organizing tasks and activities.

6. Often avoids, dislikes, or is reluctant to engage in tasks that require sustained mental effort (such as schoolwork or homework)Often loses things necessary for tasks and activities (eg.

School assignments, pencils, keys) 7. Is often easily distracted by extraneous stimuli.

PAID ADVERTORIAL

8. Is often forgetful in daily activities.

Some children with ADHD continue to have it as adults. And many adults who have the disorder don’t know it. They may feel that it is impossible to get organized, keep a job, or remember and keep appointments. Daily tasks such as getting up in the morning, preparing to leave the house for work, arriving at work on time, and being productive on the job can be especially challenging for adults with ADHD. These adults may have a history of failure at school, problems at work, failed relationships and traffic accidents. Like teens, adults with ADHD may seem restless and may try to complete several tasks as once, most of them unsuccessfully. They also tend to prefer “quick fixes,” rather than taking the steps needed to achieve greater rewards.

Treatment is very rewarding. The first medications to be approved by the FDA belonged to a non-stimulant group of medications: Atomoxetine. The FDA later approved stimulants such as methylphenidate and mixed amphetamine salts. Group delivered cognitive behavioral therapy is recommended in some cases as a supportive treatment.

If you or someone you know may have Adult ADHD, call Johns Creek Family Medicine at 770-771-6591 and schedule an appointment with Dr. Zack Charkawi.

North Fulton enjoys chili weekend 2 events keep residents warm

By JONATHAN COPSEY jonathan@northfulton.com ROSWELL, Ga. – As the weather has turned chilly, residents have turned to chili to keep warm.

Nov. 2 was North Fulton’s chili day, with both Roswell and Alpharetta holding cookoff events.

In Roswell, the fourth an-

nual Willow Springs “Williez” Chili Cook-off hosted 22 teams from the metro area, twice as many as previous years. Money raised at the event went toward Keep Roswell Beautiful and the Drake House.

Adam Neal brought back his award-winning recipe for the second year. Last time, he won judges’ choice.

Made with hamburger, sausage and stew meat, Neal said he marinates the meat in jalapeno juice for 24 hours.

Overall, the chili takes three

days to make.

He said he returns because it is a good event for good causes.

The same day, Alpharetta’s Public Safety Department hosted their second chili cookoff alongside the city’s University of Georgia football game tailgate.

Taking over downtown Alpharetta, 20 different chili recipes were on offer while the Alpharetta High School band and the UGA Red Coat Alumni Band performed in between plays of the game.

Proceeds from the event went toward the Alpharetta Public Safety Foundation, which provides resoures for the department.

publican have the same root,” Wallace said. “This was the gathering place where people met, gossiped, celebrated their good times and mourned in their bad times.”

That is when Wallace and Meyers realized what the approach of the book should be. It should be the individual story of each pub. And they all do have their own story.

In one way or another, the Irish pub becomes part of the fabric in the neighborhoods they serve. Some are low dives; others are right out of central casting as quintessential Irish. Some serve the captains of industry on Wall Street, others the hoi polloi of the Bowery.

It was not as easy a task as one might expect. There are at least 70 books by Wallace’s count on Irish pubs, and the more famous ones – and there are more than a few – are disdainful of yet another pestering Finnghoill (foreigner).

Wallace and Meyers approached one such New York Irish pub and sat for 10 minutes before the bartender looked up from his newspaper to ask their order. They got about 10 words out of him in another hour.

But they must have said something that clicked, for he finally went upstairs to tell the owner he ought to talk to these two guys from Georgia.

“He asked us up and said he could spare us an hour.

We left 12 hours later after having breakfast,” Wallace said. And that is how it would go, Meyers said. It usually took some ice-breaking. But once that was done, they became adopted sons.

“And that is what sets

this book apart. We went to maybe 200 pubs, but we only kept in the book those that had a story to tell,” Meyers said.

There is the pub in Atlanta that had its floor imported from Dublin. It turns out it came from the Royal Navy Yard there where the Titanic was designed. They contacted the authorities in Dublin and it was true.

“So the Titanic connection became that pub’s story,” Meyers said.

Then there was the Chicago pub. It was in a tough neighborhood, but it became the watering hole of the local constabulary, many of whom were Irish. Two rather misguided thugs walked into the place, one through the front door and one by a side door, with guns drawn ready for a stick-up.

The lore is, about 200 shots were fired – none by the thugs. Well, it was Chicago in the ‘30s.

Several pubs have ghost stories, but one is about resurrection. This was a pub in one of the Ninth Ward neighborhoods in post-Katrina New Orleans called McCool’s. The family and staff had evacuated, but returned to begin again. When the neighbors saw them cleaning out the mud and debris that was as high as the bar, they came around – by ones, and twos and threes.

Soon, the whole neighborhood was lending hands to get the pub back on its feet.

That is what it meant to those folks.

Each pub is a small chapter of the book. Each pub has a title and a quote that is unique to that pub.

For McCool’s, it was “Phoenix Rising.” And its quote was, “If you want love in abundance in life, give it away,” by Mark Twain.

Veterans: Continued from Page 1 The park will act as an exercise center for the runners, cyclists and walkers on Deerfield Parkway and host

the city’s patriotic events. It features a .15-mile trail and equipment for sit ups and body curls, a cardio walker and rowing and elliptical machines.

Nine flags will fly over the park – Army, Marines, Navy, Air Force, Coast Guard, POW/ MIA, the state of Georgia, the

United States and the city of Milton.

Veterans Day is a commemoration of the armistice of World War I, on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month, of 1918. It has since turned into a day to remember veterans of all wars.

By HATCHER HURD hatcher@northfulton.com JOHNS CREEK, Ga. – At a gala luncheon Oct.31 at Country Club of the South, the Roswell Child Development Association and its many friends gathered to celebrate its 45th anniversary and to honor two of its most cherished supporters – Henry and Anne Hicks.

More than 100 guests, dignitaries and honorees were on hand, including Georgia’s First Lady Sandra Deal and Honorary Chairman Bobby Cagle, commissioner of Early Childhood Education.

CDA Director Donna Smythe said she wanted to especially remember special honorees Henry and his late wife Anne Hicks for their exemplary volunteer work for the CDA since its inception in 1968.

“With intelligence, generosity and dedication, Henry and Anne Hicks went about accomplishing things in their own quiet way,” Smythe said.

“Anne was involved in the Child Development Association in the early 1970s when their church, Roswell Presbyterian, was the home of the CDA,” she said.

“Her name appears on board rosters repeatedly as the secretary of the organization.

She was one of the dedicated tribe that raised $1 million for the construction of our building at 89 Grove Way. Her name is on the dedication plaque for that ‘new’ building — now more than 35 years old.”

Her commitment to children, families and community went far beyond her leadership of the CDA, Smythe said.

“But it is most especially special to us that Anne taught elementary and middle school and she knew so well that a great preschool education could launch a youngster toward success,” she said.

Henry Hicks’ involvement with CDA came in the 1990s when he joined the Board of Trustees and served multiple terms as its chairman.

He hired Smythe’s predecessor Laxmi Parmeswar and in her words, “he was her most trusted advisor throughout her tenure.”

He was at Parmeswar’s side when “incredible” CDA milestones were achieved: The CDA first achieved accreditation by the National Association for the Education of Young Children.

The CDA received its first multi-year grant from the Goizueta Foundation.

The CDA won a national award for its playground.

“I know Henry as a deeply committed Rotarian whose longtime leadership of the Charity Committee has set a high standard for stewardship of these funds,” Smythe said. “The CDA is one of many organizations that benefit from the Roswell Rotary’s charitable contributions.

“Henry forged a highly organized system that incorporates his deep knowledge of local nonprofits and a careful, analytical approach to measuring our impact in the community and our effectiveness in leveraging the Rotary’s funds for good,” said Smythe.

“The very best supporters are those who are passionate about our mission, who demand excellence from us, and who are willing to roll up their sleeves to help us achieve it. Henry Hicks embodies all those things.”

Deal has made early childhood education the cornerstone of her duties as the governor’s wife.

In aid of that, she has been to all 159 Georgia counties and all 181school districts in the state, visiting more than300schools.

As a former teacher, she understands the importance of preschool education as provided by the CDA for working parents who otherwise could not provide it.

“It has taken an idea of persons with a caring heart and then others still who made the effort and raised the money for the CDA. And now 45 years later, we see the results,” Deal said.

Education must begin when

Hicks, in accepting accolades for his wife and himself, was quick to say many hands have made the CDA what it is today.

“No good endeavor was ever done by one person. Anne and I helped focus attention on what others have done,” Hicks said. “I am only a representative of a long line of people who have done much.”

Georgia’s First Lady Sandra Deal and Early Education Commissioner Bobby Cagle were on hand to add their congratulations for the work the CDA has done for children in the last 45 years.

Submit your news & photos to news@northfulton.com | Recycled paper Society estimated that in 2013 there would be 45,220 new cases of pancreatic cancer and 38,460 deaths from the disease.

Of the patients diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, 73 percent of them will die within the first year and only 6 percent will live longer than five years after diagnosis.

There are limited treatment options for people diagnosed with the disease. In some cases surgery is an option, in others chemotherapy and radiation.

There are Food and Drug

Administration-approved drugs, however the National Comprehensive Cancer Network states in their guidelines for treatment that clinical trials are the preferred treatment option.

The Pancreatic Cancer Action Network calls pancreatic cancer the most under-funded, under-recognized and underresearched cancer, stating that only 2 percent of the National Cancer Institute’s annual budget goes toward pancreatic cancer. The Pancreatic Cancer Action Network has a local At-

lanta affiliation that hosts the Purple Stride, a 5K walk/run to raise awareness and funds.

Purple Stride took place Nov. 9 at Centennial Park.

The original fundraising goal was $220,000, but they surpassed that goal and upped it to $250,000.

Tina Sant, who works for the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network, said they just want people to be more aware.

In Memoriam

Steven Gebhardt Sr. Steven Gebhardt Sr., 77 of Alpharetta GA passed into the Kingdom of God on Monday, November 4, 2013 at his home surrounded by his loving family.

Poppy, as he was affectionately known to many, succumbed to liver cancer after a courageous battle over the past year.

Born in a small village outside Budapest, Hungary in 1936, Steve escaped the communist nation in 1969 with his wife and son for a better life in the United States. With the help of fellow Hungarian immigrants, the family settled in Greenwich, CT. Trained as a machinist, Steve enjoyed a successful career in the field that spanned sixty years in Hungary and the U.S. and was highlighted by the 10 + years he worked side by side as co-owner of GB Machines with his brother Joe who had also escaped to America.

Additionally, Damico said the race track would not have a casino attached to it because the coalition believes the track could make it on its own.

“It’s my passion to see our own horses race in our own state,” Damico said. “The coalition thinks the thoroughbred initiative would be good for Georgia, and we’d like to see it happen.”

Reader Advisory: The National Trade Association we belong to has purchased the following classifieds. Determining the value of their service or product is advised by this publication. In order to avoid misunderstandings, some advertisers do not offer employment but rather supply the readers with manuals, directories and other materials designed to help their clients establish mail order selling and other businesses at home. Under NO circumstance should you send any money in advance or give the client your checking, license identification or credit card numbers. Also beware of ads that claim to guarantee loans regardless of credit and note that if a credit repair company does business only over the phone it’s illegal to request any money before delivering its service. All funds are based in U.S. dollars. 800 numbers may or may not reach Canada.
