On a cold night, nothing is quite so satisfying as toasted s'mores.

Avalon celebrates the holidays Lights, Santa, fireworks usher in season ALPHARETTA, Ga. – Alpharetta’s Avalon development is decked out for the holidays and they got the season started with a bang Nov. 22.

Caroling, festive activities and fireworks accompanied the annual tree lighting, with plenty of cheer on hand for the crowds that packed the area’s streets. The ice skating rink has opened, replacing the central lawn for the winter season.

Ornament making, face painting, crafts and hot chocolate drew crowds to Avalon Boulevard, with the retailers pitching in to have the event encompass the entire area.

More than 7,500 guests came to the daylong event.

The Falcons drumline, Alliance Carolers, the Atlanta Black Nativity and the Alpharetta Symphony Orchestra entertained visitors while they waited for dusk and Santa Claus to arrive. As he did, the 30-foot Christmas tree was lit and fireworks were set off.

Restore Your Vision. Refresh Your Appearance.

By Kiran Sajja, M.D.

Our eyelids play a vital role in the normal function of our eyes and maintenance of clear vision. First, the eyelids are a physical barrier that shields the eye’s surface from the damaging environment. Second, the motion of the eyelids allow for the even spread of the tear film over the surface of the eye providing a smooth surface necessary for optimal Kiran Sajja, MD. visual clarity. And finally, the Cosmetic Plastic Surgeon eyelids define the overall aesthetic of the face and convey your emotion and mood.

Excess skin of the upper eyelids, referred to as dermatochalasis or “baggy eyelids”, can significantly affect an individual’s peripheral and, at times, central vision. Also, the redundant skin may become increasingly irritated associated with redness, swelling, itchiness, and discomfort. The prominence of the excess skin often gives an unintended tired, angry, or aged appearance to the face.

Patient Concerns You may often complain of heaviness or puffiness of the eyelids which makes it difficult to see – this is referred to as dermatochalasis or “baggy eyelids”. Patients often remark having to lift their forehead, tilt their chin up, or manually hold the skin in order to see. This is most common when driving or reading with worsening complaints over the course of the day.

Patient Experience You can be seen at any of our five North Atlanta offices for consultation and preoperative scheduling. Surgery may be performed at our Cumming, East Cobb/Marietta, Canton, or Buford offices. During your consultation, I will perform a comprehensive facial and eyelid evaluation with visual field testing and digital photographs. I will discuss the various medical and surgical options and potential for insurance coverage based on your examination and testing. If you do not have significant subjective complaints, do not meet the requirement for functional visual field impairment, or digital photographs do not demonstrate significant dermatochalasis you would be considered for cosmetic upper blepharoplasty. You may be able to complete preoperative scheduling immediately following the consultation based on availability. Medicare and self-pay cosmetic patients may be scheduled as soon as the next day and non-Medicare patients may be scheduled within 2-6 weeks based on preauthorization approval.

30 minutes, I give you and your family/friend postoperative care instructions and you are taken home.

On the day of surgery, patients are greeted and checked into the surgical facility. I discuss the surgical plan with you and make skin markings on your eyelids in preparation for surgery. You will meet with the nurse anesthetist and nursing staff and be escorted to the operating room.

You will be sedated and your eyelids will be anesthetized.

During the procedure, you will be mildly sedated and experience no eyelid pain or discomfort. The procedure lasts approximately 45 minutes. After the procedure, you will be escorted to the recovery area and given a light snack and cold compresses are applied over your eyelids. After

Dr. Kiran Sajja is a Board-Certified ophthalmologist who specializes in the medical and surgical treatment of the eyelids, face, orbit and lacrimal system.

After the surgery, I inform patients that swelling and bruising may worsen over the first 2-3 days. Patients are instructed to continue cold compresses for the first 24-48 hours and apply antibiotic ointment to the eyelid wounds. I will contact you by phone 2-3 days after surgery to answer any questions or concerns and review the postoperative care regimen. You will return in 1 week for suture removal.

Conclusion The treatment of dermatochalasis or “baggy eyelids” with functional or cosmetic upper blepharoplasty is an effective and relatively pain-free procedure. Upper blepharoplasty serves to improve peripheral vision, eye comfort, and provide a more youthful and natural appearance. Referral to an eyelid and ophthalmic specialist will ensure the highest level of care with the attention to detail to give you the optimal result functionally and aesthetically.

He earned his medical degree from Case Western Reserve University and completed his internship at Northwestern University, followed by an ophthalmology residency at the Illinois Eye & Ear Infirmary at the University of Illinois at Chicago. Dr. Sajja was chosen to pursue a highly selective two-year fellowship in Oculofacial Plastic Surgery at the Illinois Eye & Ear Infirmary.

Did you know that your insurance may cover eyelid surgery?

Roswell approves fire station art Bucket Brigade to go on Old Alabama Rd.

By JONATHAN COPSEY jonathan@appenmediagroup.com ROSWELL, Ga. - A new piece of public art will adorn the Roswell Fire State No. 4, on Old Alabama Road, as the Roswell City Council unanimously approved commissioning the art for $76,000 at their Nov. 23 meeting.

A contract was signed with Washington state-based artist Peter Reiquam to create the art. As proposed, the piece – called Bucket Brigade – would be made up of a series of buckets suspended above the ground using a stainless steel support rail. “Water” will be shown thrown from several of the buckets, made out of a

A rendering of what the public art could look like at the new Roswell Fire Station No. 4. thermoplastic. Lights inside will illuminate the water at night.

“This is a nod to the method of using teamwork for putting out fire by water buckets,” City Manager Kay Love said to Council.

The selection committee noted that the sculpture will be visible to pedestrians and

passing motorists and will serve as an iconic, contemporary site marker for Fire Station No.4 and is a “simple idea” but “elegant in its simplicity.”

Reiquam received a Master of Fine Arts degree from Yale University School of Art in 1984 and has created numerous pieces of public art, almost entirely in Washington state.

His art was the finalist out of 53 submitted pieces of art to the city.

Bucket Brigade will be placed at the corner of Old Alabama Road and Market Boulevard, on the site of the new fire station.

The sculpture is expected to be completed in January 2017.

‘Clerical error’ leads to voter info data breach Secretary of State assures info secure GEORGIA – The personal voting information of every voter in the state – more than 6 million people – was accidentally put on discs and distributed to third parties.

This was the announcement from the office of Secretary of State Brian Kemp Nov. 19. The 12 discs contained information such as name, address, driver’s license numbers and Social Security numbers.

A “clerical error” was responsible, the office said. The employee who made the error has been fired.

All discs are accounted for, the office reports, and back in the hands of authorities.

“As of 11 a.m., all 12 discs containing sensitive voter information have been retrieved or destroyed,” Kemp said. “My staff has verified with the media outlets and political parties

list of all of Georgia’s registered voters every month. This information is available to them per existing Georgia law.

However, in October, a clerical error in the IT Division led to these discs containing personal identifying information that should not have been included.

Each recipient, including the Georgia Republican Party and the Georgia Democratic Party, has confirmed that the data was not retained or disseminated to any outside parties.

Georgia’s unemployment rate declines to 5.7% ATLANTA – The Georgia Department of Labor announced that the state’s seasonally adjusted unemployment rate in October was 5.7 percent, down one-tenth of a percentage point from 5.8 percent in September.

The rate was 6.8 percent in October 2014.

“A strong over-the-month increase of 29,000 jobs helped push our unemployment rate to its lowest level in seven-and-

a-half years,” said State Labor Commissioner Mark Butler.

“This year’s September-toOctober job growth is much stronger than the 16,600 job growth average for the same period over the last three years.”

The number of jobs increased to 4,302,800, up by 0.7 percent, from September.

Much of the job growth came in trade, transportation and

warehousing, professional and business services, state and local government, manufacturing, leisure and hospitality, financial activities, education and health services and information services.

“Over-the-year, our employers created 97,100 jobs, which is a 2.3 percent growth rate and stronger than the 2 percent national job growth rate,” said Butler. The number

of initial claims for unemployment insurance, a measure of new layoffs, rose by 2,701 or 10 percent, to 29,629 in October.

Most of the rise in October was due to an increase in temporary claims filed in manufacturing, especially in textiles and transportation equipment.

However, over the year, the number of claims was down by 3,270, or 9.9 percent, from

32,899 filed in October 2014.

In October, the state’s labor force increased by 7,396 to 4,736,342.

Butler said job seekers should utilize the GDOL’s new job listing service, EmployGeorgia.com, where 79,324 jobs throughout the state were posted in October.

Blogger-videographer charged for crashing GOP event Nydia Tisdale indicted on multiple charges for refusing to leave 2014 political rally

By KATHLEEN STURGEON kathleen@appenmediagroup.com DAWSONVILLE, Ga. — Selfproclaimed citizen journalist Nydia Tisdale of Roswell was indicted by a Dawson County grand jury Nov. 16. The indictment results from charges related to her refusal to leave and stop videotaping a Republican political rally Aug. 23, 2014, at Burt’s Pumpkin Farm.

The three counts include criminal trespass, a misde-

meanor, and two counts of obstruction of an officer, both a misdemeanor and a felony.

At last year’s rally, Tisdale was filming the multiple Republican candidates and lawmakers including state Attorney General Sam Olens and Gov. Nathan Deal.

She was asked to stop recording by Johnny Burt, owner of the farm, or to leave. When she refused, Dawson County Sheriff’s Capt. Tony Wooten then tried to escort her off the

property. She then allegedly kicked and fought with him, which resulted in the charges against her.

A video shows a hand being put over the camera’s lens while Tisdale being forcibly removed from the property.

Tisdale apparently repeatedly asks Wooten to identify himself. She also says she spoke with Burt’s wife, Kathy who said “it was OK.” Toward the end of the video, Tisdale and Wooten aren’t seen on the screen, but yells of “stop hurting me” can be heard from Tisdale.

Tisdale has said she did nothing wrong, wants the charges dropped and a public apology.

North Fulton growth double-edged sword

Happiness is a grateful heart With Thanksgiving just days away, it’s natural for us to be thinking of all the things we’re thankful for, like our families, jobs, houses, food, health and freedom.

But with the recent terrorist attacks, natural disasters and general uneasiness all around us, it seems to get harder and harder every year to maintain a joyful attitude.

It seems like everywhere we turn we see images of another bloody body or hear people saying they’ve given up on the world. And, at times, I’m right there with them.

As a journalist, I have to keep up with local and world news daily, but sometimes I have to just turn off the TV or radio, put my phone away and stop reading about the madness surrounding us.

Times like these are hard for someone like me, someone who strives to be positive.

That’s why I love covering local news. There’s usually a silver lining to turn to and brighten whatever dreary situation is playing out.

I’m a firm believer that a positive mind creates a positive life.

While I’m not bubbly and happy all of the time, I do try to maintain a sunny outlook to help those around me. And I think everyone else can, too.

My mind just doesn’t allow darkness to creep in, and for that I’m thankful.

Not everyone has that ability so, for those of us who do, we need to be a beacon of hope, a light from the light-

KATHLEEN STURGEON Forsyth Herald Reporter kathleen@appen mediagroup.com

house, a shoulder to lean on and offer smiles to brighten our world.

There are so many things to be thankful for and we need to hold on to those and be mindful of our many blessings.

However, there are still evil, scary and dark realities out there that we can’t deny. I’ve heard time and time again that this world we live in is horrible and that people have given up hope for humanity.

But, honestly, why? Doesn’t it bring you joy to hear children laugh, see puppies play or watch a sunset? A recent video of an elderly man helping a younger man tie a necktie went viral because it reminded people of the goodness in most people’s hearts.

These are the things we need to hold on to and keep at the forefront of our minds.

Without positivity and happiness, we will, in fact, fail our society. But I believe we can change that.

With the upcoming holidays just around the corner, try to keep happiness and positivity in your life and you, too, will have a grateful heart.

There is so much good left in this world. We need to continue spreading it around.

During this political season, there has been much discussion on what to do about growth in North Fulton.

True, a lot of it is driven by the recent elections (and the runoffs in Johns Creek).

I have had several oneon-one conversations with folks at various times asking my opinion regarding what the various cities ought to be doing – or not doing – about growth and economic development.

I’ve heard the gamut from “It’s not the government’s job” to “Cities should vigorously support new business” to “Let’s raise the drawbridge.”

They ask me because I am always at the meetings where these things are discussed and have written at length about what the cities are doing. Let’s say up front that experience does not make me an expert. It makes me a newsman. I observe and tell as best as I am able what is happening and why. But the experts are the ones who get paid for their opinions.

That said, I have observed quite a lot about all of metro Atlanta in the last 30 years.

So first let me say that most of the rest of the metro area would kill to have North Fulton’s problems. That is not to say North Fulton’s problems are not real and need solving, but they are the kinds of problems you want because they mostly result from a surfeit of good things: good schools, high-grade housing stock that appreciates, lots of good-paying jobs and hightech companies that don’t come with smokestacks or other environmental liabilities.

But as metro Atlanta grows, it can kill what is best about an area through sheer weight. In the 1970s, Decatur, Vinings, Dunwoody, Sandy Springs, Buckhead and Marietta were trendy places everyone wanted to be.

All have undergone the spate of “hot real estate” then the burden of overbuilt centers or stifling traffic or overcommercialization.

As the metroplex expands, it changes those edge communities. Some are just consumed, such as East Point, College Park, Forest Park, Tucker, Stone Mountain and others.

North Fulton remained the “undiscovered country” until the 1990s. Now, as we all know, it is the discovered country.

From what I have seen, it is the communities that have a plan for growth that do well.

Decatur has become a vibrant city again. Cityhood was a major reason. Local leader-

HATCHER HURD

Executive Editor hatcher@ appenmediagroup.com

So Milton and Johns Creek can’t “just say no” to growth.

It is already on the way and will continue to pass through those cities as the metroplex expands.

ship is one of the keys to vibrancy, because that gives the community the chance to react.

But the one thing I have observed in the cities that deal successfully with growth are the ones that have planned for it. I don’t mean just a comprehensive landuse plan. Everyone has that.

I mean a strategy to decide what will give you that elusive term “quality of life.”

In the last 20 years, traffic has been an increasing problem. The one thing you can’t do is stop it. Developers are already transforming rural south Forsyth County to a point where Laurel Springs is talking cityhood.

So Milton and Johns Creek can’t “just say no” to growth. It is already on the way and will continue to pass through those cities as the metroplex expands.

One issue is how is the traffic that comes will affect the cities. That is not the same as what the traffic does to the city and its quality of life. That is where a real plan is needed.

If a city is to be a city, it must have a downtown. And to have a downtown, people must live there. That is not optional. Roswell is a city of 90,000-plus. With the exception of its Canton Street and some small spillover onto Atlanta Street, there is no life in downtown Roswell.

It has tremendous potential. Roswell’s Uniform Devel-

opment Code was supposed to be a key tool to redevelop downtown. But there is a disconnect between Roswell’s plan and its residents based on the lopsided defeat of two long-serving Roswell councilmembers.

But Roswell sends mixed messages. For example, the most vibrant part of the city is its Canton Street. It is so successful that parking is its biggest problem. The city studied adding a parking deck but decided against it, saying that is not the government’s “job.”

So whose job is it to build infrastructure? And this for the largest visitor destination in the city?

Alpharetta, the poster child for dealing with North Fulton growth, is revamping its downtown, which includes townhomes a block off Main Street and apartments above the retail planned for its public square.

Oh, and Alpharetta has already built a parking deck downtown.

Alpharetta’s plan is clear and transparent, and that city canceled its elections because everyone was unopposed.

In Johns Creek, they are trying to do something similar to infuse life in what would be a downtown. Right now Johns Creek does not have a downtown, just a hodgepodge of shopping centers in various degrees of health.

The status quo is a recipe a slow recession of quality retail, as witnessed in Roswell.

Grandiose renderings from early consultant meetings have not gone over well in Johns Creek. The city seems to be stepping back from the 728-acre plan (although it all should be part of a 20-year plan), and looking at something smaller.

The idea is to have something that will attract residents of the city. Then visitors will want to know what the fuss is about. But back to square one: people have to live there. Don’t worry about the added traffic, it is coming anyway.

Johns Creek is a city of 80,000-plus people and, barring a catastrophe, they are not going away. So how does the city enhance the quality of life there? The model followed by Alpharetta, Duluth, Suwanee, Woodstock, Norcross and a host of others is to create a livable downtown.

I know of no metro city that could be deemed successful that does not have a downtown that is attractive to live in and to visit. You add to it from that, but that is where you start.

STARGAZING:

Hembree Springs opens observatory Teachers, students can look at sky

By JONATHAN COPSEY jonathan@appenmediagroup.com ROSWELL, Ga. – With a smile on his face, Hembree Springs Elementary School science teacher Javier Tavel puts an eye to his telescope and peers into the night sky. He focuses the lens and lets a student next to him look next. What he sees is the moon.

Tavel and a host of students and parents were breaking in the new Hembree Springs observatory Nov. 19.

The small building has two telescopes and several monitors and is just big enough for a small class of students to crowd in.

Tavel or his students can look into the telescope and what they see will be shown on the screen for the other students to see. The roof opens up to allow for uninterrupted viewing of the sky.

The observatory is the result of several years of fundraising by the school PTA and the Soaring Hawks Founda-

Once a month, Tavel hosts a “Star Night” at the school, bringing out telescopes and pointing them skyward for students and the community to learn about space. But the school wanted a more reliable and permanent space for the

events.

“Mr. Tavel has been using telescopes for Star Nights with the community to learn astronomy in years past, but we were looking for a more permanent way to house the scopes for easier access and greater return for use from both the school and the community,” said Principal Laurie Woodruff.

Tavel said the moon was a favorite subject of his.

“It’s always reliable, always there and it has the ‘oo, ahh’ factor,” Tavel said.

He said he has been looking at the stars for years now.

“I was in the Navy and I remember being in the North Atlantic and looking up at the night sky and seeing more stars than I knew existed. I came back home and bought a telescope,” he said.

That started a love of stars and heavenly bodies, an enthusiasm he shares with his students.

“The kids enjoy it but so do the parents,” he said. “The first time seeing the rings of Saturn or the bands of Jupiter, it’s an unbelievable moment for them.

It’s really cool.”

Milestones data shows students struggled on state test Fulton scores still above state and metro Atlanta average

By CANDY WAYLOCK candy@appenmediagroup.com NORTH FULTON, Ga. — Students in the Fulton County School System may have scored slightly better than their peers across the state, but scores from the 2014-15 Georgia Milestones Assessment still show fewer than half of the district’s high school students met the standards needed for the next grade level.

The results were even bleaker for students in grades three through eight, which indicate less than 40 percent of Fulton students lacked, or had limited proficiency, in the skills and knowledge needed to succeed in the next grade.

Scores for students in North Fulton showed better progress than the systemwide averages, with most schools breaking the 50 percent mark for proficiency across all test areas.

The Milestones assess-

ments were administered for the first time last spring in grades three through eight (End of Grade exams) and grades nine through 12 (End of Course exams), but results were just made public in midNovember.

EOG assessments are given in four subject areas: English/language arts, math, science and social studies.

For high school courses, the tested subjects are literature and composition (ninth grade), American literature and composition, coordinate algebra, analytic algebra, biology, physical science, U.S. history and economics.

The area of most challenge was physical science, with only 33 percent of Fulton students meeting standards. Fulton students scored well above the state average on math, with 44 percent of high school students showing high proficiency in geometry, compared to only 29 percent statewide.

Unlike the assessments which they replaced — the CRCT and the Georgia High School Graduation Tests — the Milestones are more than just

Tim Corrigan named principal at Chattahoochee High Served as interim leader since June

By CANDY WAYLOCK candy@appenmediagroup.com JOHNS CREEK, Ga. — The Fulton County Board of Education removed the word “interim” from Tim Corrigan’s title, voting this month to make him the permanent principal at Chattahoochee High School.

Corrigan had been serving in an interim position since June, after former principal Tim Duncan stepped down to become the system’s executive director of accountability.

An assistant principal at Chattahoochee since 2004, Corrigan is only the fourth principal at Chattahoochee since the school opened in 1991.

The history of long-serving leaders is not lost on Corrigan who was thrilled by the board’s decision to make the interim position a permanent one.

“I am so proud to be named the fourth principal of Chattahoochee High School … I am livin’ the dream!” said Corrigan in response to the news. “I absolutely love this school and community.”

Corrigan began his career in education in 1992 for Gwinnett County Schools after receiving his education degree from the University of Illinois at Chicago.

In 1993, he moved to the Fulton County School System to work as a health and physical education teacher at Taylor Road Middle School, where he remained until becoming an assistant principal in the Forsyth County School System in 1997.

Corrigan returned to CORRIGAN Fulton Schools in 2004 to become an assistant principal at Chattahoochee, returning to the community where he has lived for 24 years.

Along the way, Corrigan earned a master’s degree in educational administration from the University of Georgia in 1994, followed by his specialist degree at UGA in 1997.

Corrigan assumes the leadership of a school that has a history of academic achievement since nearly the day it opened.

The school was named a Georgia School of Excellence in 1997, followed by its designation as a National Blue Ribbon School in 2000.

Again in 2009 it was named a Georgia School of Excellence and is constant presence on “top schools” lists.

Corrigan said he will work to continue that legacy as principal.

“The Hooch family is as strong as ever and I promise to carry on the strong tradition of excellence,” said Corrigan. “I am here to serve as we continue to build on the tradition of excellence and remain committed to excellence.”

Hopewell Middle School Police Officer Vargus Owens hands out lunch to students.

JONATHAN COPSEY/STAFF

Fulton County Schools Police Officers Diane Moody and Frederick Ivey put on hairnets and aprons to serve a surprise Thanksgiving lunch to students of Hopewell Middle School Nov. 19.

Cops serve up Thanksgiving lunches School officers help at Hopewell

By JONATHAN COPSEY jonathan@appenmediagroup.com MILTON, Ga. – An officer’s equipment: badge, uniform, radio, hairnet?

Fulton County School police officers donned aprons and, yes, hairnets Nov. 19 to serve a special Thanksgiving lunch to the 1,400 students of Hopewell Middle School.

“Thanksgiving is a time when everyone shows gratitude and appreciation to others, and our school police officers

want to give something back to our school,” said Hopewell Officer Vargus Owens. “Seeing us in an unexpected role makes others smile and that makes us happy.”

Started by Owens, the first-ever event aimed to show students and the community a different side of law enforce-

ment.

He said he was inspired to start the “Cooking Cops” program at Hopewell after being part of a similar event at another metro police department and by seeing the national narrative portraying police officers as against civilians.

“There are situations across the nation that depict police officers in a negative light and I think it’s important that our students see that we’re real people who care about them,” said Owens. “Whether it’s keeping our kids safe by patrolling the school or just by serving them lunch, we will help in any capacity we can.”

Serving in a different way than normal, Owens and fellow of-

ficers dished out fried chicken, mashed potatoes and gravy, sweet potato soufflé and cornbread dressing to the students.

“I had to do something different,” he said, adding he always tries to find creative ways to talk with students and engage them. “I want the kids to be more approachable. They think they are in trouble when I come up to them, but really I’m handing out candy.”

Hopewell Principal Michael LeMoyne said the students enjoyed seeing their police officers behind the lunch counter.

“It’s a blast for the kids to see their police officers and gives them an opportunity to see them as normal people, not just as cops,” he said.

New SAT to begin with March 2016 assessment Changes needed to focus more on student curriculum

Our redesigned assessments are focused on what’s familiar to students and what they’re learning in their classrooms every day.”

By CANDY WAYLOCK candy@appenmediagroup.com

MARIA EUGENIA ALCÓN-HERAUX Director of media relations for the College Board

GEORGIA — Citing a need to have an assessment aligned more with what students are actually learning in the classroom, the College Board is rolling out the revised Scholastic Aptitude Test beginning in March 2016.

“Our redesigned assessments are focused on what’s familiar to students and what they’re learning in their classrooms every day,” said Maria Eugenia Alcón-Heraux, director of media relations for the College Board.

The essential changes include a return to the 1600-point scale based on two test sections, removing the penalty for guessing, including more “user friendly” vocabulary words, and of most significance, making the essay

section optional.

Students with plans to attend college still have two opportunities to take the current SAT in December and January before the new test is administered in March 2016.

The changes to the SAT are the first tinkering of the SAT since 2005, when the essay was added and the point scale expanded to 2400.

Officials with the College Board, which administers the assessment, say the redesign of the SAT is necessary to focus on knowledge that matters most for college success, and better reflects what students are actually being taught.

So gone are obscure vocab-

ulary words like “prevaricator” and “sagacious,” which have been replaced by words like “synthesis,” which students may actually use in conversation. Also removed is the onequarter-point deduction for wrong answers, which should encourage test takers to take chances on questions as opposed to leaving them blank.

In terms of the essay, during a community forum at Chattahoochee High School on the re-designed SAT, Lynn Demmons of the College Board still urged parents and students to check with potential college choices to see if they require the essay. If taking the essay, students will now have

Comparison of old and new SAT Current SAT (ends Dec. 2015) Test Time: 3 hours, 45 minutes Sections: 4 (critical reading, writing, math, essay) Essay: Required Wrong Answer: ¼ point deduction Score scale: 600-2400

New SAT (begins March 2016) Test Time: 3 hours (+50 minutes if taking essay) Sections: 2 (reading/writing and math) Essay: Optional Wrong Answer: No penalty for guessing Score scale: 400-1600; essay scored separately

a total of 50 minutes, as opposed to only 25 minutes with the current SAT. In its own analysis, the College Board determined that fewer than 45 percent of test takers in the class of 2015 received a score on the SAT that met the organization’s “College and Career Readiness Benchmark.” This is essentially the score that will likely earn a student a 3.0 in college courses.

Officials note this is not a reflection of the test itself, but served as a directive for the SAT to take a deeper look at the information contained on the assessment.

“The percentage of students who graduate high school ready for college hasn’t increased in the past five years,” said Alcón-Heraux. “This is a call to action for the College Board to redesign our assessments to be more focused, useful, clear and equitable for students, and use our assessments to connect students to opportunities.”

Since its introduction in 1926, the SAT has been the most popular and widely taken college entrance assessment by college-bound students.

Test: Continued from Page 11 an instrument to help evaluate instruction and learning.

Beginning this year the results will be used for 20 percent of the student’s final grade in high school. In grades three through eight, students must show grade-level proficiency to advance to the next grade.

The results from the 201415 school year were considered “hold harmless” since it was essentially the pilot year for the Milestones.

Despite the mixed results from the Milestones, Fulton School leaders were cautiously optimistic.

“Although we’re still examining our data, our early analyses show that the percentages of Fulton students scoring ‘Proficient’ or ‘Distinguished’ [Levels 3 and 4] are higher than their state and metro Atlanta peers.

This occurred in all subject ar-

eas for both the End-of-Grade exams and End-of-Course exams,” said Kenneth Zeff, interim superintendent.

The Milestones are assessed on four levels of performance (see sidebar), unlike the CRCT which had three levels.

But in essence the Milestones still breaks down into missing, meeting or exceeding standards.

The Georgia Departments of Education said the four categories are a better reflection of progress.

“The use of four designations aims to shift the focus away from just test scores, instead capturing the progression of students’ learning,” said Matt Cardoza, spokesman for the GDOE. Despite the low scores on the first Milestones assessment, Fulton school officials say parents should not compare their child’s performance on previous assessments, such as the CRCT, which were notoriously easy to master.

The Milestones set a higher

bar for student proficiency, are more rigorous and standards were developed using input from more than 300 educators in Georgia school systems, universities and technical colleges, said officials.

“It’s natural to want to compare the Milestones with the CRCT, but they are completely separate tests,” said Zeff. “The Milestones assessments are more rigorous, and we anticipated that our scores would be lower this first year.

That’s something to be expected whenever a new test is developed and administered.”

He said the challenge for Fulton is how to use the data to evaluate instructional practices and make improvements where needed.

This April and May, students in grades three through 12 will take the Milestones tests with results expected to be reported within two weeks.

By JONATHAN COPSEY jonathan@appenmediagroup.com ROSWELL, Ga. – Roswell’s first new apartments in years have opened, with city leaders gathering Nov. 17 at the grand opening of Roswell City Walk.

Located near Canton Street and Roswell’s City Hall, City Walk features 320 one- and two-bedroom luxury apartments. It opened for leasing

in late March and now sits at 85 percent leased. Chris Cassidy, division president for the Southeast for Lennar Multifamily, the builder, said it was one of the fastest-leased properties built by Lennar.

“This is a product people want to live in and Roswell is a place where people want to live,” Cassidy said.

Forsyth renews contract with Lake Lanier Association

By KATHLEEN STURGEON kathleen@appenmediagroup.com FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. — Since 1966, the Lake Lanier Association’s mission has been to protect Lake Lanier and its watershed, ensuring a clean, full and safe Lake Lanier that enhances the lake’s economic value to Georgia. And now they’ve been granted the opportunity to continue their partnership with Forsyth County for another year.

On Nov. 10, the Forsyth County Board of Commissioners voted 4-0, with Jim Boff absent, to renew the agreement for 2016 and to provide $20,000 for the cause.

This past year was one of the best for the association, according to Val Perry, president. Many of the programs

were highly successful, including Shore Sweep, which was held on Sept. 26 and is a massive community service cleanup day.

“From Shore Sweep, collecting more than 40 tons of trash in the lake with at least 15 tons of that from Forsyth County, and that was in spite of it raining all day,” Perry said. “We’ve also done a thing called rip-rap, which is putting rocks on islands that are eroding into the lake. The first one was in Forsyth County and is a $55,000 to $60,000 job.”

Another project the association does is removing large objects from the lake, including 12 items removed this year, six of which were from Forsyth County, Perry said.

“You all have been the leader in

supporting and investing in our organization,” Perry said. “You all helping us may convince the other surrounding counties.”

Brian Tam said he thinks the association has been a great asset to the area and community.

“Some of the projects you’ve undertaken, including improving hazard markers, are really something that was needed out there,” Tam said. “It’s hard to say

Surveying your customers With the end of the year coming up, do you have plans to survey your customers? Getting feedback from your customers can help you identify what you are doing well, and where you may need to make improvements. Surveying your customers can also help improve your relationships as it provides an easy vehicle to identify ways to serve your customers better.

There are many low-cost survey “systems” available for you to use to facilitate this process. Survey Monkey and Constant Contact are two examples of easy-to-use systems that you can use to not only create the survey, but also distribute it via an email and also tabulate the results.

Your survey should include both multiple choice questions, such as rating your company’s products or services, and also open-ended questions requesting written feedback. You’ll want to keep your survey short to maximize the responses you get.

If the survey has a lot of questions and it takes more than five minutes to

complete, you probably won’t get a lot of feedback.

The most important part of surveying your customers is doing something with the data you collect.

If the survey identifies that you are not meeting their expectations, it’s a great opportunity to improve in areas that are identified.

Year-end customer surveys are very commonplace with large corporations, but many small-business owners don’t take advantage of this.

Surveying your customers, and improving your small business from what you learn, is a great way to continue to grow your small business!

how many accidents were prevented because of that, but the $20,000 is well worth it.”

40 UNDER 40:

Mackenzie Bearup Editor’s note: The North Atlanta Business Post, an Appen Media Group publication, recently recognized 40 individuals under the age of 40 with outstanding accomplishments in their professional or extracurricular lives.

Each week for the next 40 weeks, we will publish a profile showcasing one of these individuals. Visit NorthAtlanta BusinessPost.com for more info.

At-Large Selection Age: 22 Title/Company: Founder & Director of Sheltering Books Inc. Mackenzie Bearup has lived in Alpharetta for most of her life.

At 10 years old, she was diagnosed with complex regional pain syndrome, which she described as one of “the most painful and least known neurological disorders known in the medical world.”

The only way to distract herself from the pain was by escaping into a great book. Taking that lesson, she had the thought at age 13 that other children needed to read and have similar escapes, which is how Sheltering Books Inc. was created.

“If I don't have a book in my hand,

I'm probably reading an iBook on my phone or Ipad!” said Bearup, who has two younger brothBEARUP ers.

Since then she has collected and donated over 350,000 books for children and young adults in homeless shelters, hospitals, schools and orphanages all over the world.

With the success of Sheltering Books, Bearup became the youngest recipient of the CNN Hero award at age 16.

“CNN chose me from over 25,000 applicants to be their hero,” she said.

“They flew a film crew and producers out and filmed with me for three days. My story was featured on ‘Larry King Live’ and played on CNN every hour or so for about two weeks.”

When not reading, Bearup enjoys photography, and even has her own photography business, Mackenzie Bearup Photography. She also loves crafts.

“From painting to sewing to adding my own personal touches to nearly everything I own, I'm always figuring out ways to creatively improve things and make them prettier,” she said.

Keeping your joints healthy (NAPSI)—Knowing a few facts about the wear and care of your joints can help you take steps to keep them healthy.

Healthy joints have cartilage, which acts as a spongy shock absorber on the ends of the bones so they don’t rub against each other. When you don’t have enough cartilage, you can have pain.

To Keep Your Joints Healthy • Exercise. Walking, jogging or swimming helps keep muscles strong, and takes the strain off the joints.

• A healthy diet and a healthy weight. Carrying extra weight stresses your joints. Eat less fat and sugar, and more fruits and vegetables.

• A healthy lifestyle. Get enough sleep and eat a balanced diet.

What To Know About Joint Pain Joint pain often indicates arthritis. Common types are osteoarthritis, gout and rheu-

matoid arthritis. Other diseases or injuries can also lead to joint pain. As you age, joint pain becomes more common as well.

Fortunately, you can do a lot to feel better and stay active, even if you have these problems.

How To Feel Better • Exercise, moving all your joints. Walking helps circulation, supports the joints and strengthens the muscles.

• If you have a sore joint, you can use an ice pack or a bag of frozen vegetables on the sore spot.

• Do your best to maintain a weight that is right for you, since too much weight can make your knees and hips ache.

• Speak up. Tell the doctor if your pain is improving or getting worse. Medicines can reduce pain and stiffness, and a doctor will know if joint replacement is an option you should consider.

Joint Replacement Surgery Joint replacement surgery involves removing a damaged joint and putting in a new one.

It’s usually done by an orthopaedic surgeon. Sometimes, the surgeon will not remove the whole joint, but will only replace or fix the damaged parts.

The new joint, called a prosthesis, can be made of plastic, metal or ceramic. It may or may not be cemented into place, and your bone will grow into it.

New joints generally last at least 10 to 15 years.

Learn More The National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases, National Institutes of Health, has free, easy-to-read information in English and Spanish about joint health.

STOP“GUESSING” AT WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING This is what just a few Ambit 3D Hearing Aid Center customers have to say after experiencing our centers: “I’m mad at myself for waiting so long and I should know better. I’m a doctor! They made is so easy and saved me thousands of dollars from the first place I went.”

-Dr. William Bennett, Cumming, G “Most of my friends have hearing aids, but most had bad things to say about their hearing aids, which delayed me even more getting help. Went into Ambit, within an hour I was hearing great. Told all my friends hearing aids work, they just went to the wrong place. And the best part is I paid thousands less than what my friends paid.”

-Margarette Wiley, R.N. Cumming, GA “I was attracted to Ambit by the price, but when I found out they were a direct manufacturer who made the top digital hearing aids with full services center, I couldn’t believe it. I’ve never heard so well. Thanks for saving me thousands of dollars.”

-J. Simpson, Gainesville, GA

“The best hearing aids I have ever owned, I don’t care how money you spend!”

-L. Zoller, Lake Lanier, GA “You saved my marriage. My wife was fed up with the loud television and me saying “huh?” all the time.”

-P.Lucas, Gainesvilla, GA “Words can’t say enough how Ambit has helped me.

I’ve struggled with severe hearing loss for many years, which requires very special hearing aids. Ambit has delivered and even more! I have never had such fantastic service!! Thank you Ambit!!”

-H. Ashbury, Jefferson, GA “Being a consultant I actually went to many different places and tried many different hearing aids and hands down Ambit was the best. It didn’t bother me that I saved thousands of dollars either.”

-J. Sasso, Cumming, GA

MAKE SURE YOU CAN HEAR FOR THE HOLIDAYS.

Why Spend 2X-3X More For Less?

“I am a minister and my hearing loss was really creating a problem, especially after service when everyone congregated outside the church talking all at once. I couldn’t hear a one of them. I went to Ambit thinking no one could help my problem. I couldn’t believe it, I started hearing better immediately and the following Sunday after service I could hear everyone, even in the extremely noisy area. Hallelujah!!!! Now I look forward to talking to people. The best part is I did all this without breaking the bank.”

-Rev. T. Plank, Jefferson, GA

Alpha Family Medicine Ask Pam... The 2015 Best Are you having a hard time finding a primary care doctor? According to a recent report by the Georgia Board for Physician Workforce, the state ranked 39th in the ratio of doctors per 100,000 population. The doctor shortage continues to limit patients’ access to care and is most critical in primary care. Some doctors have stopped taking new patients altogether. If you do find a doctor that will accept you as a new patient, you may still have to wait if you want to schedule a routine visit. If you are on Medicare or Medicaid you might not be able to find a doctor and may have to visit the emergency room. In which case, you will have to wait and may not see the same doctor again.

There is a solution – the best time to find a new primary care doctor is when a new practice opens. You need to sign up early on, even if it’s for a routine physical. Most insurances pay for a physical once a year without requiring any co-pay. If you sign up early on, the doctor will be familiar with your medical history and it will be easier to get an appointment later on when you have a medical condition. You need to sign up before the doctor stops accepting new patients!

Fortunately, for residents of North Atlanta, signing up with an experienced primary care doctor just got easier with the opening of a new clinic in Alpharetta. Alpha Family Medicine is a primary care clinic that specializes in Family and Geriatric Medicine for all ages – children, adults and elders.

of Home Care Winner!!

The clinic is centrally located on North Main Street (Highway 9), close to City Hall. Currently, the clinic is accepting new patients. You can walk-in or schedule a same day appointment with the Doctor. Or if you cannot make it during office hours, you can schedule an appointment for early mornings late evenings, or weekends.

The clinic is operated by Shyla Reddy, MD and her medical staff. Dr. Reddy has more than 15 years of primary care experience in Family & Geriatric Medicine. She is board certified in Family and Geriatric Medicine. She taught/supervised medical students and resident doctors in an university setting. She also obtained a fellowship in Geriatric Medicine and Gerontology from Emory University. To sign up as a new patient or to schedule an appointment, contact 678-619-1974 or visit www.alphafammed.com

Three Simple Ways To Improve Your Well-being (NAPSI)—September is Healthy Aging Month, a good time to reflect on how you can optimize your physical, mental and social health as you grow older.

While it’s important to take care of yourself at every life stage, seniors are more vulnerable to age-related ailments such as high blood pressure and dementia—but by investing a little time and energy you can make small changes that help create a more enjoyable future. Here’s a look at three good ways you can optimize your physical, mental and social health as you grow older: The Mind Matters Stimulating your brain regularly is a good way to prevent forgetfulness and keep your wits sharp. A national study of 3,000 older adults found that after five years, those who did brain training programs improved in cognitive speed, memory and reasoning. This helped with everyday tasks including managing medications, preparing meals and overseeing finances.

Card games and board games are great ways to challenge your thinking power while connecting with friends and there are many versions

you can play by yourself on a computer. Free apps with mind-stimulating games and activities are easily accessible on iPads, tablets or smartphones and are specifically designed to train memory and attention.

Make New Connections Having close relationships and staying socially active are essential to maintaining quality of life. In fact, research shows that social interaction in older adults can result in such health benefits as lower blood pressure, reduced risk of depression and potentially reduced risk for cardiovascular problems, some cancers, osteoporosis, rheumatoid arthritis and Alzheimer’s disease.

While it’s sometimes difficult to get together with loved ones who live far away or have school and work commitments, technology lets people connect instantly through text, voice, photos and video. To combat loneliness and social isolation, arrange regular Skype calls with family members and set up a group chat with friends to discuss common interests.

Get Physical Exercise doesn’t have to

mean running a marathon or lifting triple-digit weights.

In fact, overexerting yourself may cause additional health problems. Try yoga, pilates or tai chi to relax and tone your muscles while improving flexibility and balance. Daily walks around your neighborhood are a good form of physical activity that require minimal investment. If you’re concerned about exercising alone, consider getting an automatic fall detection alert system so you can feel more confident.

Companies such as Bay Alarm Medical offer medical alert devices that instantly call emergency services with the touch of a button in case of a fall, dizziness or other accidents.

Aging is a natural life process and taking proactive measures to be physically, mentally and emotionally sound can ease the process. During Healthy Aging Month—and all year long—taking the small steps, literally, can go a long way in improving your health and overall wellbeing.

Learn More For further facts on medical alert devices, go to www. bayalarmmedical.com or call (877) 522-9633.

Tai chi can help flexibility and balance and can be a good idea as you age.

Hearing with your brain?

By Dr. Deborah Woodward Johns Creek Audiology Hearing affects EVERYTHING between your ears. If you’re like most people, you’re used to thinking of hearing as something that happens in your ears. What people often don’t think about is what happens between their ears, in the hearing part of their brain. That’s where sound becomes information that has meaning. Your brain has to work hard to make this happen.

When the sound signals from your ears are compromised, your brain has to work even harder to fill in the gaps. This extra effort can take its toll. In fact, studies have shown that, over time, hearing loss can lead to isolation and depression. That’s why it makes sense to take care of your hearing health the same way you care about the rest of your health: There’s a lot more riding on it than just your hearing.

What happens when you have a hearing challenge?

The natural relationship between your ears and brain is disrupted. This is why it takes so much more effort to follow what is being said and why you may feel so much more tired at the end of a busy day.

It’s your brain that hears - Not your ears.

Your ears and your brain work together as a system, with your brain doing most of the heavy lifting.

Give your brain exactly what it needs to hear.

Your hearing is as unique as your fingerprint. And because no two are quite the same, no one else’s hearing profile is quite like yours.

The right devices professionally selected and fit to your individual needs can:

‘HEAR’ the Holidays Be virtually invisible Allow you to hear in “3D” so you can follow conversations that come from different directions in a room.

Automatically select the best directional mode giving you clearer more natural sound even in difficult hearing situations.

Wirelessly connect to your Cell phone, tablet, TV, and car Along with award-winning service, the Johns Creek Audiology and Hearing Aid Center offers revolutionary pricing with initial costs often 30% to 40% less than typical because patients can choose to pay only for the hearing devices and not the 3-5 years of services “bundled” into the price. Complete diagnostic testing is provided along with tinnitus (ringing in the ears), vertigo, and ear wax management. All major insurance plans are accepted, and no-interest finance plans are available.

Forty-five moms and sons from the Centennial Young Men’s Service League come together to build a “Garden of Appreciation” for a homeless shelter.

Local boys create ‘Garden of Appreciation’ to homeless shelter MILTON, Ga. - Forty-five moms and sons from the Centennial Young Men’s Service League (YMSL) came together Oct. 31 to build a “Garden of Appreciation” and provide much needed yard care to the Nicholas House, a transitional housing shelter for homeless families in our area.

This project was part of a day-ofservice effort called “The Ultimate Gift,”

in which the local YMSL moms and sons spent the day clearing the property, mowing, raking, planting plants and spreading mulch to beautify the areas surrounding the Nicholas House. Community engagement and marketing manager for the Nicholas House, Jordyne Krumroy, said she was so thrilled with the completed project that she added YMSL as a named

partner on their website and has asked that the organization return next year.

The YMSL is a non-profit organization that encourages young men and their mothers to pursue philanthropic involvement in their community and provides an opportunity to enhance mother/son relationships.

Alpharetta First Baptist Church presents ‘Respite’

Local Pastor and Princeton University team up ALPHARETTA, Ga. - In September, a local pastor received an appointment as a lecturer in the Religion Department of Princeton University.

Dr. John Hardie is currently serving as the lead pastor in a new church plant, Grace North in Alpharetta, meeting on Sundays at 10 a.m. in the Alpharetta Community Center.

On Monday through Wednesday each week, Hardie will help teach a course with Princeton Professor David Miller entitled: “Business Ethics and Modern Religious Thought.”

Hardie graduated with studies in theology and ethics at Yale (S.T.M. 2002) and Princeton (Ph.D. 2012) writing his dissertation on Karl

Barth’s reading of the book of Job. Hardie has served for 24 years in various roles in ministry - as a missionary in Prague shortly after the fall of the Berlin wall, as a campus minister at Yale University, as a senior pastor of a mega-church in Memphis, and most recently as the lead pastor of a new church community in Alpharetta.

Hardie’s sermons offer an example of how preaching and constructive theology can work together to instruct congregational life and prophetically engage cultural activities such as sports.

ALPHARETTA, Ga. - The SHINE Ministry at First Baptist Church Alpharetta will offer a “Respite” Dec. 5 at no cost, to those who give so much to the most special members of the community.

Bring loved ones to spend the afternoon with church members and take a much deserved break while volunteers spend a few hours of quality time with them.

The Respite is from 1 – 4 p.m. Dec. 5 at Alpharetta First Baptist Church, 44 Academy Street, Alpharetta.

Calabash Cotillion puts sand in your shoes Beach music as much a state of mind as place

By HATCHER HURD hatcher@appenmediagroup.com MARIETTA, Ga. – After 30 years, they still come to the Calabash Cotillion to hear what is known as beach music.

The event has been a staple of North Fulton beach aficionados since 1985, when local attorney Don Rolader and his sisters Melanie Rolader Kleekamp and Sally Rolader were vacationing at Pawley’s Island, South Carolina, with their respective spouses. They decided to run over to Myrtle Beach to see The Embers play on Melanie’s 30th birthday.

“And we said this was the best band we ever heard,” Don Rolader said. “So we asked them how we could get them to come play in Atlanta.”

The band’s response was, “Well, call us up and book us.”

That sounded easy enough.

Rolader and his sisters learned if they booked the bands on a Thursday night, it would be cheaper.

“So we booked them into the Atlanta Athletic Club and

invited everybody we knew.

My then-brother-in-law and I wound up losing about $500 apiece, but it was a helluva party,” he said.

Everyone remarked what a good time they had, and Rolader was encouraged to do it again, and that time broke even. And, again, people seemed to love it.

“As an event, it began to grow. And we didn’t do it every year, but everybody just had a great time when we did,” he said. “We finally outgrew the Atlanta Athletic Club when we had 429 people one year.”

There’s always that one guy who goes stag and dances with everybody else’s wife.

The Calabash Cotillion moved on from there and, later in its life, became a fundraiser for North Fulton Community Charities with silent and live auctions and the whole nine yards at the Marriott in Alpharetta. Its second year as a fundraiser, the beachy bash garnered $72,000 for NFCC. “By then we were booking The Jesters, which was a great group out of Athens. People loved them, too,” Rolader said.

“For years, it was kind of just the social event for insiders in North Fulton.

“They said this is what we want to do, we love it.”

HATCHER HURD/STAFF

You’re never too old for a good time.

But, as time passed, it took a little more energy each year to put the thing together. The gaps between the years got to be a little wider, but the cry would eventually go out, “Calabash is back!” and folks would dig out their madras slacks and best pair of old Dockers to shag once again.

“My sister Melanie told me she was 60 this year and how about the Calabash again? I said if we did it, it would the 30th year. So she said, ‘I’ve the

Susan and Don Rolader get to do what they like best, dance the night away.

it was always casual. No coats.

No ties. Socks optional. I don’t know that we’ll ever do another one. Melanie’s worried about it because she had so much fun.”

In its heyday, back before The Crash, all the banks would buy tables and about 350 people would attend.

“People are getting older.

They’ve got grandkids now,

time and I’ve got the money so we’re going to do it one last time.’

“So she organized and put it all together and underwrote it.”

This year they held it at the Renaissance Atlanta Waverly, and of course they asked The Embers to do the honors one last time.

“But that’s how the Calabash came to be. The stamp on

and they just have other things to do,” Rolader said, than come out for a night of beach music.

What makes a song “beach music?” Rolader said it’s the beat, the horn section and the happy times the song is about.

Rolader is a walking encyclopedia of beach bands, so he ought to know. Asked why he does not write the definitive book on beach music, he said someone has already done that.

“Fellow named Greg Haynes wrote ‘Heeey Baby Days of Beach Music: Stories and Remembrances of a Southern

HATCHER HURD/STAFF

Genre.’ If you can find a copy, it’ll tell you all you want to know about it.”

But make no mistake, Rolader is no mere aficionado of beach music. He can tell you chapter and verse about the tunes and the bands that played them and play them still.

He credits the Swingin’ Medallions with taking the genre nationwide with their hit “Double Shot (of My Baby’s Love).” There are others: Billy Joe Royal, Joe South, The Tams and the Atlanta Rhythm Section all have sand in their shoes.

And, for a few hours at the Waverly Renaissance Hotel, so did a happy crowd at the Calabash Cotillion.

Cogburn Woods Elementary celebrates ancient Greece

save date

ALPHARETTA, Ga. – At Cogburn Woods Elementary School, one unit for Social Studies in the curriculum is “Roots of our Democracy.” Students study how long ago, ancient Greece influenced the USA by architecture, government and the Olympics. Students study the Greek columns, buildings and which U.S. buildings resemble Greek buildings.

For government students, they discuss the types of democracy and how Athens, Greece had direct democracy and the U.S. has representative; which leads teachers into talking about the branches of government and all three levels.

Third grade teacher, Kristie Elliott reached out to the mayor and judge of Milton – Joe Lockwood and Brian Hansford, respectively – to see if they could do a role-play of how Lockwood has to work with the judicial and legislative branch since he is head of the executive branch.

His example was someone was playing their music too loud at night. He had the third grade teachers come up to help demonstrate and act out.

To wrap up the unit the whole third grade will travel to four stations; Greece flag making, Greek food sampling, Greek pottery and translating the alphabet and an Olympic station.

The Hornets’ defense was once again stellar last week against the very talented wing-T offense of Camden County. The Hornets held the Wildcats to 175 yards rushing. for the first time since making back-to-back quarterfinal appearances in 2006-07. The last time the Hornets started a season 12-0 was 1968 on their way to a state championship.

The Hornets’ defense was once again stellar last week against the very talented wingT offense of Camden County.

The Hornets held the Wildcats to 175 yards rushing. The Wildcats entered the game averaging 243 yards per game.

The Hornets’ defense also forced two interceptions and held Camden quarterback Antonio Hamilton to completing just 29 percent of his passes.

Roswell’s defense will take on a balanced Collins Hill offense. The Eagles enter the game averaging just under 200 yards passing and 144 yards rushing per game.

Collins Hill may once again be without starting quarterback Drew Dinsmore.

Dinsmore was injured in the Eagles’ opening-round win over

Lambert and did not play last week. Backup Marty Horn replaced Dinsmore and was 4-13 with a touchdown last week.

If Dinsmore remains out against the Hornets, the Eagles will likely look to their running game, which compiled 260 yards against Newton last week.

Leading the Eagles rushing game is junior Jonathan Postell, a north-and-south rusher who combines speed with power and ability to break tackles.

The Eagles’ offense works out the shotgun and are likely to run straight up the middle.

Their offensive line was effective in opening up holes for Postell last week, but will face the stout Roswell front.

Roswell’s running game got another big performance out of Sheldon Evans, who had 153 yards and two touchdowns on 26 carries against Camden County. Evans has 222 yards and seven touchdowns so far in the playoffs. Neely was 23-33 for 213 yards with two total touchdowns against the Wildcats.

Collins Hill is averaging giving up 21 points per game.

Their game Friday will be the sixth time Collins Hill and Roswell have played and the first time since 2011. Collins Hill leads the series 2-3 after winning the last three matchups.

1-ranked team in the state, this Friday.

Since both teams entered the game as No. 1 seeds, a coin toss decided who would host.

South Forsyth avoided a long road trip and were given homefield advantage by winning the coin toss.

South will face an extremely talented offense that is averaging 47 points per game, led by quarterback Chase Parrish and running back Nick Powell IV. Through 11 games, Parrish compiled 2,282 yards on 156 completions for an average of 14.7 yards per completion. He averages over 200 yards passing per game to a multitude of talented receivers including Kiel Pollard, Qwazavia Lee, Tory Ponder and Shaun Bonner. The four receivers have a combined 1,885 yards and 22 touchdowns.

Behind a talented offensive line, the Packers are also a rushing threat, averaging 179 yards per game.

The Packers’ offense will prove a tough test for the War Eagles’ defense, led by Cameron Kline, Curtis Roach and Max Slott.

Roach has three interceptions for the War Eagles in the playoffs and Kline had 14 sacks in 11 games for South.

South’s offense enters the game after a 42-point performance against Tucker last week, and big plays were the story of the game. South had multiple rushes over 50 yards.

QB Davis Shanley had an impressive performance on the ground and was South’s leading rusher last week. Shanley compiled 167 yards rushing and was 6-14 for 85 yards

South will face a Packers’ defense led by senior linebacker Akivie Bailey. Bailey enters the game as the Packers’ leading tackler with his ability to avoid blocks and move quickly to the ball. The Packers have nine players with a sack this season and average giving up 17 points per game.

BT enters the game still unbeaten on the season, but may have to do without starting quarterback Conor Davis against Dawson. Davis went out with an injury in the Titans’ 38-12 win over Jefferson last week.

Freshman Jake Smith replaced Davis and did so in impressive fashion, going 9-11 with 158 yards and a touchdown.

Milton Shelton, the Titans’ leading rusher, was taken from the field in an ambulance with an apparent neck injury. At the time of this article, his status is unknown.

Shelton was replaced by Dupuis, who compiled 123 yards and had four total touchdowns.

Roswell’s big green machine keeps rolling Hornets beat Camden Co. 34-15

By JOE PARKER news@appenmediagroup.com ROSWELL, Ga. — Ray Manus Stadium was packed to the brim with fans, Roswell alumni and collegiate scouts. The game was televised live statewide and Southeast and national media outlets were also in attendance. Even Roswell’s Mayor Jere Wood could be seen on the sidelines. Why? Because all those in attendance knew that the Roswell Hornets have something special this season.

Roswell continued their undefeated season with a 3415 win over Camden County last Friday. Camden had only one loss entering the game and that was against the state’s No. 1-ranked team, Colquitt County. Roswell’s offense compiled 424 total yards and their defense held the talented Camden offense to 273 total yards.

Sheldon Evans rushed for 153 yards on 26 carries with two touchdowns and quarterback Quintarius Neely went 23-33 for 213 yards and a touchdown. Neely also accounted for a rushing touchdown.

A lingering question for the Hornets entering the game would be how they would control Camden’s run-heavy wingT offense, an offensive scheme they had not encountered this season.

The Hornets’ defense stepped up to the challenge and held the Wildcats to just 175 yards rushing. Camden entered the game averaging over 230 yards rushing per game this season. With their rushing game not as effective against Roswell’s defense, Camden passed the ball more than usual. However, Roswell’s

Football: Continued from Page 34 repeat his impressive performance off the bench and Dupuis can continue to find holes provided by the BT offensive line, the Titans’ offense will still prove to be tough to stop.

Dawson County is giving up an average of 19 points per game.

The Titans’ defense will face the balanced Dawson offense.

In the regular season, quarterback Coey Watson compiled 1,556 yards and 12 touchdowns. However, BT will look to force errant and hurried throws as Watson also threw 10 interceptions in that span.

Watson is also a rushing threat, compiling 346 yards

defense held the Wildcats to just 98 yards passing and Camden QB Antonio Hamilton was just 5-17 with two interceptions.

Alabama commit Xavier McKinney led Roswell with 7.5 tackles. Mitch Stone and Koby Cumberlander combined for 5.5 tackles for a loss and LeAnthony Williams and Justice Harris both had interceptions.

With a spot in the quarterfinals of the playoffs up for grabs, Roswell received the opening kickoff and put together a 10-play, 80-yard drive that was capped off by 1-yard run

by Evans.

Roswell forced a punt on Camden’s ensuing drive, but was forced into a punt of their own after Neely was sacked at the Camden 49-yard line. It was the only sack Roswell gave up during the game.

Jack Piggott’s ensuing punt would be fumbled after the Camden receiver and blocker collided while the catch was being made. Roswell’s Mitch Stone recovered the ball at the Camden 24-yard line.

Starting their drive just outside the red zone, Roswell needed just three plays to find the end zone. After a 10-yard McKinney rush, Jayden Comma would catch the first of his six receptions to set up Roswell at the 6-yard line. Neely found AJ Smith in the end zone on the next play to put Roswell up 14-0 with two minutes remaining in the first quarter.

Roswell forced a three-andout on Camden’s next offensive drive, setting them up at the Camden 43-yard line. Roswell started half of their drives in-

side Camden territory.

Just two plays later on the first play of the second quarter, Evans found a seam along the sideline and took the ball 39 yards for his second touchdown of the game.

Four minutes later, Turner Barckhoff pushed a 47-yard field goal attempt just outside the right post. After Roswell’s Williams intercepted Camden QB Hamilton, Barckhoff made a 33-yard field goal to extend the Hornets’ lead to 24-0.

Barckhoff finished the game 2-3 on field goals.

After the Barckhoff field goal, Camden put together a seven-play, 72-yard touchdown drive. On fourth and 13 at the Roswell 39-yard line, Hamilton found Jarvis Roberts in single coverage along the sideline, getting the Wildcats on the scoreboard for the first time.

On Roswell’s opening drive of the second half, Neely scored an impressive rushing touchdown on third and goal.

Neely scrambled, spun out of a tackle and powered his way into the end zone from 10 yards out.

With 7:48 remaining in the game, Camden’s Harrison Poole scored a touchdown on a 12-yard rush and Camden converted their 2-point conversion attempt. Barckhoff sealed the 34-15 win with a 39-yard field goal with just under two minutes remaining.

Roswell has won 12 games for the fifth time since 1955.

The last time they won 12 games in a season was 2006 when they won the state championship.

The Hornets will play host to Collins Hill this Friday.

and eight touchdowns on the ground.

Hunter Mitchell, the Tigers’ leading rusher, averaged 7.2 yards per carry and 102 yards per game through the regular season.

BT will have to play tight coverage on receiver Tucker Maxwell, the Tigers’ leading receiver, who is elusive and has lots of speed.

This is the first meeting between BT and Dawson County.

The winner will take on the winner of the Elbert County/ Calhoun game.

Stratford Academy (8-3) vs.

Pinecrest Academy (10-1) At the outset of the season, when asked if his team could return to the playoffs, Pinecrest Head Coach Todd Winter said his team was “taking it one day at a time, we’re

not talking about playoffs.”

Now they are.

Pinecrest returned to the second round of the Class-A Private playoffs for the first time since 2009 with their 20-7 win over Athens Christian last Friday.

Pinecrest’s offense got off to a slow start against Athens Christian, which held Pinecrest scoreless in the first half.

However, Pinecrest was able to get their offense going and take the win by 13.

Pinecrest’s offense enters the game averaging 31 points a game behind an experienced offensive line, QB Ryan McCarthy and receiver Mitchell Ojeda.

The Paladins’ defense is giving up 16 points per game.

This will be the first-ever meeting between the teams.

CADNET ADS

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.
