Milton gets snowy weekend MILTON, Ga. – While many enjoyed frolicking in snow, others dealt with power outages, downed trees and transportation difficulties.

Matt Marietta, the city’s emergency management coordinator said the city prepared with an all hands on

deck approach with Milton’s fire, police, communications and public works departments working continually throughout the weekend to ensure residents safety and keeping them informed. They also worked to clear trees and monitor the roads for safety.

ALPHARETTA, Ga. — A woman reported Dec. 7 that $3,500 worth of Christmas decorations were stolen while her apartment underwent renovations.

The woman’s personal belongings were moved to a different unit at WoodBridge Apartments during the renovations.

Some belongings, mainly Christmas decorations, were left locked in the patio storage area at her request, since the patio was not part of the renovations.

Four days later, the woman received a text from the assistant manager asking if the belongings in the patio were

Car taken overnight from woman’s driveway JOHNS CREEK, Ga. — A woman reported Dec. 3 that her 2013 white Kia Optima was stolen from her driveway at some time during the night.

The woman said she parked her car in the driveway around 6 p.m. that night. It was unlocked with the key still inside.

Around 3 a.m., the woman awoke because of “loud banging” noises outside but did not see anything outside the window.

It was only after she got up around 9 a.m. that she realized her car was missing. In the front yard next to where the car had been parked were credit cards, her wallet and other contents from her purse. The $175 Louis Vuitton purse and a workout bag filled with supplements were taken along with the car.

as they were left. Upon inspection, she could tell “immediately” that several items were missing once she met up with management.

The missing items included 75 ornaments, heirloom ornaments, a nativity set and a patio table.

The assistant manager said that she was the only person, other than the renovation company, that had a key to the apartment.

Management changed the patio locks and secured the key in a safe. There were no security cameras in the area.

be a student loan relief company swindled him out of $900.

The man told police that in April, he was contacted by the organization on the phone. He said the company and caller seemed legitimate because the representative had the man’s full name, address, school history and loan amount. In return, the man provided the caller his Social Security number and bank information.

After several months of payments, totaling $900, the man decided to check the legitimacy of the caller. He called the company and was told that no payments from him for his loans had been received.

The man said he immediately called his bank to close his account and froze his credit.

Computer stolen from workplace ALPHARETTA, Ga. — An employee found Dec. 1 that their facility’s computer room had a busted window and a computer was missing.

The employee came into work at 8 a.m. at The Lakes at Windward, only to notice that a $3,000 desktop computer was missing.

Police later found that a window on the north side of the building was smashed out with an unknown tool.

The table that the computer had been sitting on was broken and laying on the floor.

Security footage showed a dark-colored car pull into the leasing office and a man with a skull cap and a light-colored hoodie break the window at 12:30 a.m. The unknown man appeared to be 5’11” and approximately 170 pounds.

Footage showed the man breaking the window and jerking on the computer until a cable finally broke, freeing it. The table fell and broke during the struggle.

Thief takes $250K from bedroom FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. — A man reported someone broke into his house recently and stole $250,000 in $100 increments from his bedroom closet.

The 75-year-old man said the glass on the backdoor of his home on Prestwick Circle was smashed, and he found the master bedroom was the only area of the house ransacked. The drawers were dumped out and the clothes were scattered. The cabinets in the bathroom were all open, and the items were also on the floor.

His 71-year-old wife went into the master bedroom closet and noticed the money missing.

Scuff marks were found on the ground consistent with someone crawling on the ground to avoid setting off motion detectors in the home, according to detectives. The man said he did not set the alarm before leaving the house.

Legal action threatened over Milton development Residents challenge city’s approval of mixed-use complex

By JOE PARKER joe@appenmediagroup.com MILTON, Ga. — Residents along Knightsbridge Way in Downtown Crabapple are continuing their sixmonth fight to challenge a development approved just behind their homes. The residents – some living in Alpharetta, some in Milton – have hired legal counsel and have threatened suit if the City of Milton does not overturn its decision through the Board of Zoning Appeals.

The Knightsbridge occupants are challenging Milton’s approval of the mixed-use development, stating it does not meet the Crabapple form-based code. The city enacted a moratorium to review the code in June following the residents’ concerns, but later lifted it without any changes. A caveat was placed in the moratorium stating if the development was improperly submitted, the city could re-review it. However, the

city staff found no issues.

Roger Bauer’s home sits just beyond the site for the proposed development in Alpharetta and his back yard serves as a border between the two cities.

Bauer said he and his neighbors have been pleased with what he called the “smart” development of Crabapple. However, they take issue with the development slated for just behind their homes which they say presents safety and privacy issues, as well as plummeting property values.

“My neighbors and I have lived here for up to 20-plus years and we are simply looking for a development that is compatible with the immediate area,” Bauer said. “However, this development is predominately commercial and doesn’t fit in with the surrounding residential areas of Alpharetta or Milton.”

“While we encourage the redevelopment of this property, we believe that this development does not comply with the Crabapple Form Based Code and it constitutes a taking of our properties’ values,” Bauer said.

The residents argue that the city’s zoning of the property provides for mostly residential use, yet the development is 86

The City of Milton has swung the pendulum too far in favor of the development community.”

ROGER BAUER Milton resident percent commercial by square footage.

It includes two buildings totaling over 17,000 square feet with residential, office and retail uses, including a proposed 24hour CrossFit gym.

“Staff should require that at least more than 50 percent of the area to be developed as residential to ensure the area in mainly residential and compliant with the code,” the residents’ appeal states.

They have previously argued that the developer has not provided a significant buffer between the property and their homes, which will be as little as eight feet in some places.

During discussions over the mora-

torium, the city stated the form-based code allowed for walkability in Downtown Crabapple and the buffers would inhibit that design.

But that is far too close for the residents. Though Milton prides itself on its quality of life, this development would adversely affect that of the neighboring homes, Bauer said.

“The City of Milton has swung the pendulum too far in favor of the development community,” Bauer said. “It’s time to strike the right balance.”

The Knightsbridge residents will challenge the city at the Dec. 19 Board of Zoning Appeals meeting to reverse the approval of the concept plan.

At the Dec. 5 Design Review Board meeting, the committee approved a land disturbance permit for the development, contingent on the outcome of the BZA meeting.

Bauer said he and his fellow neighbors will request that no permit is granted until a “compliant plan is approved.”

“We also hope that our experience can be channeled into positive changes for our community as other parcels are developed,” he said.

City looks to update Providence Park through outside funding

By JOE PARKER joe@appenmediagroup.com MILTON, Ga. — Parks and Recreation Director Jim Cregge said building a quality park is expensive. That is why the City of Milton is seeking another grant for Providence Park as its master plan finalization looms.

At the Dec. 4 City Council meeting, the city approved a federal grant

pre-application process for improvements at the park. The $200,000 Department of Natural Resources Grant, with an additional $50,000 from the city, would be used to construct a trail from the parking lot to interior sites within the park. The trail would meet guidelines for the Americans with Disabilities Act. In October, the city moved forward with a DNR grant to construct a perma-

nent bathroom facility at the park.

Due to the expenses associated with constructing and maintaining a park, Cregge said the city is always on the lookout for applicable grants.

“The reality is there are grants and funding opportunities out there and I don’t want to do everything on the back of the taxpayers,” he said. “I want to see what opportunities exist that we can obtain and beautify the area.”

Cregge said another reason to pursue outside funding is that the park is expected to draw guests from outside Milton.

“The park will wind up being a destination and people will come from other areas to visit [Providence] like they do at Bell Memorial,” he said.

Between land acquisition, construction and other associated costs, Cregge said the Alpharetta Greenway cost about $1 million a mile. While Milton won’t need to acquire lands for Providence Park, costs will add up when the city looks to improve the trails.

Currently, the park has no ADA access, and Cregge said as a public entity, the city needs to provide reasonable access for people of all abilities.

He said the overall plan for the park is to have some trails comprised of crush

slate or other material suitable for wheelchair use. The city aims to make about half of the park accessible to wheelchairs like Bell Memorial.

The trails will also need addressing due to erosion.

CREGGE “The slopes of the trails are quite severe,” Cregge said.

“The whole idea is to have the trails run across the runoff instead of running along its contours.”

The first master plan meeting for the park was held in September to gather public input for the future look of the site. Another meeting will be held in January to unveil a plan that includes the desires resident’s shared with the city.

“As with any process, we asked the public for their input and will present them with a plan that hopefully is what they were looking for,” Cregge said.

The ADA accessible trails and bathroom will still be included in the master plan, even if the city is not awarded the funding. If Milton is chosen, the city should receive the funding around September of next year.

How to identify a sick tree It’s easy to miss when a tree is growing sick. Most tree health problems grow slowly, with little visible difference from one day to the next, until leaves change colors or the canopy begins to thin. The longer it takes to spot problems, the more likely the tree’s illness will become serious enough that it needs to be removed. However, if you can catch the signs early and call for an arborist, it may be possible to

TREE SERVICE

treat the sickness or damage and save the tree. Keep an eye out for these common signs of trouble: • Look for wilting or oddly-colored leaves, either along one or two limbs or all over the tree.

• Check for cracks appearing in primary limbs or even in the trunk of the tree.

• Examine dead branches, which may simply need pruning, but which can also indicate that a tree is in poor health.

• Watch for decaying or hollow spots, especially along the trunk and around the joints of the limbs.

• Look for insect damage, such as chewed leaves, holes made by burrowing bugs, silk webs and nests, and dripping sap or honeydew.

BLACK BOX SPECIAL REPORT: JOURNALISM UNDER ATTACK GEORGIA, PART XI

Citizen journalist found guilty of misdemeanor obstruction Felony charge dropped against Nydia Tisdale

Misdemeanors are publishable by: • A fine of up to $1,000 • Up to 12 months in county jail • Both a fine and time in county jail, or • Up to 12 months in a state diversion center

By KATHLEEN STURGEON kathleen@appenmediagroup.com DAWSONVILLE, Ga. — Local citizen journalist Nydia Tisdale is no stranger to courtrooms.

She can often be found with her video camera in hand or on a tripod recording meetings of local government entities and then uploading them to her website, aboutforsyth.net, typically unedited.

As someone who strives to monitor and record local government proceedings, she has had her fair share of arrests, trials and clashes with elected officials.

But in November 2015, she was indicted by a Dawson County Grand Jury on charges related to her refusal to leave and stop videotaping a Republican political rally August 2014 at Burt’s Pumpkin Farm in Dawsonville.

A Dawson County Superior Court acquitted Tisdale of misdemeanor criminal trespass and felony obstruction of an officer Dec. 4, but found her guilty on a misdemeanor charge or obstruction of an officer.

Sentencing is scheduled for 9:30 a.m., Monday, Dec. 18 at the Dawson County Government Center, 25 Justice Way. At the 2014 rally, Tisdale, 54, who lives in Roswell, was filming multiple Republican candidates and lawmakers, including former state Attorney General Sam Olens and Gov. Nathan Deal.

Both Olens and Deal were served subpoenas for the trial. Deal was excused from testifying, but Olens said he “wasn’t bothered by the video camera” because elected officials should assume they’re being recorded.

Tisdale was asked to stop recording

by Johnny Burt, owner of the farm, or to leave. When she refused, former Dawson County Sheriff’s Capt. Tony Wooten then tried to escort her off the property. She then allegedly kicked and fought with the officer, which resulted in the charges against her. She claims she didn’t know who Wooten was at the time.

Witnesses have said they heard Tis-

After Nydia Tisdale testified recently, she was found guilty of one misdemeanor charge of obstruction of a law enforcement officer. dale ordered twice to stop filming before Wooten then removed her. However Tisdale said she wasn’t asked to leave but just forcibly removed.

A video shows a hand being put over the lens as Tisdale was forcibly removed from the property. Tisdale apparently repeatedly asks Wooten to identify himself. Toward the end of the video, Tisdale and Wooten aren’t seen on screen, but yells of “stop hurting me” can be heard from Tisdale.

Olens testified he heard a “shriek that came from a lot of pain.”

Wooten said he had, in fact, identified himself to Tisdale and decided to arrest her after she would not cease filming.

During Tisdale’s testimony Nov. 27, she said was “pinned face down in pain and terror” when Wooten reportedly pressed her against a counter from behind.

“With him pushing his groin against my buttocks I felt like I was being raped with my clothes on,” Tisdale said while testifying. “It was so quick and abrupt and immediate and hostile. It made no sense to me. I learned his name when handcuffs were being placed on me.”

The video from that day was shown in trial with Assistant District Attorney Conley Greer going through frame by frame to show the space between Tisdale and Wooten.

However, Tisdale maintains she was bruised and was in “excruciating” pain.

She told jurors she had permission to film the event and that was backed up in 2014 by Olens.

“If we stand for anything as a party, what are we afraid of having a

lady with a camera filming us?” Olens said. “What are we saying here that shouldn’t be on film? What message are we sending that because it’s private property they shouldn’t be filming it?”

Tisdale said she saw advertisements for the rally that promoted it as an open event, which she said includes herself as a member of the public. She also says she spoke with Johnny Burt’s wife, Kathy, who she said knew Tisdale was coming to film and was fine with it.

This isn’t the first time Tisdale has seen the inside of a courtroom.

In April 2012, she was removed during a Cumming City Council meeting after Mayor H. Ford Gravitt asked the chief of police to remove the camera from the auditorium.

BRIAN K. PRITCHARD, FETCHYOURNEWS.COM

In 2014, Nydia Tisdale was reportedly forcibly removed by then Dawson County Sheriff’s Capt. Tony Wooten.

To view the entire incident at Burt’s Pumpkin Farm in 2014, visit: https://www.youtube. com/watch?v=du0CxpnxfqM “We don’t allow filming inside of the City Hall here unless it’s specific reasons, so if you would remove the camera,” Gravitt said during the meeting.

When Tisdale informed the mayor of the state’s Sunshine Laws, which had been updated that same day and which give citizens the right to record open meetings, Gravitt said the matter wasn’t up for discussion. He proceeded to have Tisdale and her camera removed from the meeting.

Following the incident, Tisdale filed suit against the city, and the case was settled in 2015 when the city agreed to pay Tisdale $200,000.

In 2017, 32 journalists have been arrested so far, according to U.S. Freedom Press Tracker.

Give the girls a chance Citizen journalist fighting My friend was pessimistic. She said there was no chance Team USA would even reach the knockout stage of the 2014 World Cup, let alone win a game if they got there. I, on JOE PARKER the other hand, Reporter joe@appenmediagroup.com believed that they were a given for the Round of 16 and that winning that game was a distinct possibility.

So, as sports fans do, we had an informative and polite discussion, with each of us explaining in great detail the merits of our argument while the other listened intently to understand our point of view.

And if you believe that last sentence, you are clearly not a sports fan.

What we actually did is call each other idiots while hurtling personal insults laced with beer-breath.

It’s not the fact that I turned out to be right that I remember this minor conversation from over three years ago, I’m not that petty (I was right Hannah. Ha!). No, the real reason this conversation has stayed with me is what my friend said after I began talk-

It is an unfortunate truth, but no matter the positive strides that have been made in girls and women’s athletics, the attention is nowhere near the same for the boys. ing about the U.S. women’s chances in the 2015 Women’s World Cup. “Ah, who cares,” she said. “Women’s soccer sucks.”

I was not only floored by the statement itself, but by its source. My friend had been a collegiate soccer player. She had received a scholarship and debt-free education thanks to the sport she now said “sucks.”

It is an unfortunate truth, but no matter the positive strides that have been made in girls and women’s athletics, the attention is nowhere near the same for the boys.

I’ve heard many arguments as to

for transparency for all As a journalist, the freedom of the press granted to me and my fellow professionals is something I take seriously and appreciate wholeheartedly.

More often than KATHLEEN STURGEON not, when I introduce myself at Editor kathleen@appenmediagroup.com meetings, events or anything I’m trying to cover for the paper, people immediately do whatever they can to help me get the full story.

All I have to do is say my name, give my credentials, flash my press pass or hand out a business card and I’m verified and ready to continue what I was doing.

But for people like Nydia Tisdale who are self-proclaimed citizen journalists, trying to get the full story can be nearly impossible sometimes.

Tisdale is a known fixture in local politics as someone who attends and films as many government meetings as she can. Usually, she also doesn’t have

a problem when she comes in and sets up her camera and tripod.

But she’s had her fair share of trouble, including in 2014 when she was forcibly removed by Dawson County Sheriff Capt. Tony Wooten from Burt’s Pumpkin Farm in Dawsonville during a political rally.

She went to trial last week and was found guilty of one misdemeanor count of obstruction of a law enforcement officer, but was found not guilty of a felony charge for obstruction and criminal trespass misdemeanor.

Tisdale claims she was in pain when she was removed and that she had permission to film. Wooten said he told her who she was, which she said didn’t happen.

No matter the verdict, to hear stories like this are frightening in our field.

While Tisdale may not have the official title of “journalist” to back her up, she is still a member of the public who attended an open event and was filming for those who were unable to be there in person.

Councilmembers have served since Milton’s incorporation

By JOE PARKER Joe@appenmediagroup.com

MILTON, Ga. — The Dec. 18 City Council meeting will mark the end of an era for the city when two of the city’s original council members will cast their final votes.

Karen Thurman and Bill Lusk will end their tenures on the council Monday after serving since the city’s incorporation. Thurman announced in August she would not seek re-election and Lusk’s bid for a third full term was unsuccessful in the Nov. 7 general election.

With their terms drawing to a close, both have shared their pride in seeing the city grow from its infancy to the budding, successful municipality it has become.

And for both council members, that process began before the city’s incorporation.

Thurman and Lusk served on the city’s formation committee – Lusk in creating a public works department and Thurman on the budget committee, which sought to declare the feasibility of the city from a financial standpoint.

Thurman said her motivation to see Milton become its own entity was for local control.

“Decisions were being made by people who were not in the area,” she said. “I believe decisions are best made locally.”

That sentiment was shared by Lusk, who said he wanted to see Milton “control its own destiny.”

“The effort was led by a local-rural

driving force,” Lusk said. “We could take care of the services that Fulton County was providing under special services and take them over ourselves with no added tax burden.”

Those motivating LUSK factors led both to seek seats on the City Council.

“I wanted to be able to continue to make a difference and was working on several initiatives,” Thurman said. “I knew I would get a lot more done as a council member.”

THURMAN Lusk said he saw the parallels between running a city and his work as a contractor. He said the city could take control of its own projects and hire the proper personnel to see those plans come to fruition and create a unique city.

“The good thing about a brand new city is that you don’t have any preconceived issues,” Thurman said. “You really get to start from scratch, getting to decide what you want the city to be and its priorities.”

Both councilmembers said one of the top priorities was getting the city’s public works and public safety departments up and running.

For Lusk, that meant improving the roads and intersections which he said had long been neglected by Fulton County. He said it was vital to conduct the total reclamation of roads which were paved decades before using anti-

Detour set for Mayfield Road traffic MILTON, Ga. — Lane closures and a detour will begin this week for a sidewalk project along Mayfield Road between Mid Broadwell Road and Charlotte Drive.

The project will bring new sidewalks to each side on Mayfield from Mid Broadwell Road to Charlotte Drive and is a partnership between the city and GDOT. The detour will run on weekdays from 9 a.m. – 4 p.m. while the project is under construction. The anticipated date of completion is March 2018.

To minimize delays with lane closures, the detour is planned for eastbound traffic from Mayfield to Mid Broadwell and Charlotte Drive.

All eastbound traffic will turn right on Mid-Broadwell and then left onto Charlotte Drive. From Charlotte, traffic can turn either left or right.

Westbound traffic in the project area will be one-lane only with lanes shifting to either side, depending upon where work is taking place. Mid Broadwell Road at Mayfield will only allow left turns out onto Mayfield during the detour. Vehicles that need to make a right from Mid Broadwell onto Mayfield Road should use Charlotte Drive.

Charities group announces support for deferred action on young immigrants

By JULIA GROCHOWSKI julia@appenmediagroup.com ROSWELL, Ga. — The decision to rescind the national Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals policy earlier this fall is hitting home for families in North Fulton. And North Fulton Community Charities are already seeing its effects.

“In all of our areas and programs, we’ve seen an impact,” said NFCC Director of Programs Eden Purdy. “From families not coming for food, not coming out for basic needs assistance, financial assistance – because people are afraid of coming out of their homes.”

The Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals was created in 2012 it help undocumented immigrants who arrived in the United States as minors to obtain a two-year renewal of deportation proceedings along with a work permit.

North Fulton Community Charities says 24,400 people in Georgia are currently enrolled in the program which is expected to phase out starting in March, unless Congress replaces it with comparable legislation.

Charity officials say they see approximately 100 people a year as part

of their application process for DACA. But since January, those numbers have decreased “tremendously” as people have dropped out, left the state or seemingly disappeared.

In fiscal year 2016, the charity says 153 individuals enrolled in its GED program. More than a quarter self-disclosed DACA as their reason for enrolling. Of the 108 students who have graduated from the GED program, almost half were DACA recipients.

“That’s a huge demographic in our community that supports our workforce and economic growth,” Purdy said. “It was a way for those undocumented immigrants who were young children to be able to work and drive legally. To take that away from them will really hurt our community and workforce.”

With the changes to national policy under the Trump Administration, the charity has seen a 31 percent decrease in Hispanic participants in the first quarter of 2017.

During NFCC’s fiscal year 2017, the organization assisted 4,131 Hispanic clients - about 44 percent of the total clientele served.

Likewise, almost half of their GED

If DACA goes away, then we’re back to having a group of immigrants who don’t have any options except to work illegally and to live in fear.”

EDEN PURDY NFCC Director of Programs program students are DACA recipients.

Many of them went on to Perimeter College and other surrounding institutions.

One recipient currently studies at Gwinnett Tech for engineering. Because of DACA and obtaining his GED, he no longer needs government or private assistance from NFCC to support himself.

“One story that always stayed with me is one where a young man started as a bus boy at a local restaurant and he came to English classes and applied to DACA in 2013,” Purdy said. “In

2014, he did receive his DACA status, he was able to drive and got his driver’s license. Because he had learned English and he had his DACA work permit, he was able to get a job as a waiter at a restaurant.”

With the help of DACA and NFCC, the man was able to successfully transition from not working legally and being paid in cash to working legally and paying taxes.

“He was actually contributing to government services and our economy and our community, while he was earning enough income to support himself,” Purdy said.

“If DACA goes away, then we’re back to having a group of immigrants who don’t have any options except to work illegally and to live in fear,” Purdy said.

“It’s a sad situation.”

The NFCC Board of Directors said in a statement that the organization “supports continuation of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program and supports legislation that protects recipients from deportation.” Representatives of NFCC have already reached out to state legislators to protect DACA recipients.

The mission of Tech Alpharetta here in the city is to grow innovation and technology.

KAREN CASHION, Tech Alpharetta CEO. 16 | Milton Herald | December 14, 2017

Alpharetta tech think tank offers list of initiatives Proposals aimed at drawing more tech companies

By PATRICK FOX pat@appenmediagroup.com ALPHARETTA, Ga. — As the self-proclaimed “Technology City of the South,” local leaders have been asked to expand Alpharetta’s reach to the tech business community.

Members of the Tech Alpharetta Building Committee recently presented a “wish list” to the City Council, a list that they say will improve the city’s draw to technology companies.

The city has already ascended as a major player in the technology market. It is home to almost half the top 10 technology companies in Metro Atlanta, and since 2012, the city has added more than 12,000 high-paying technology jobs.

Alpharetta got to where it is, in part, due to steps it took more than two decades ago. That’s when private groups invested in fiber optic cable, all of it secured in concrete. Much of that network was backed up with more cable, providing tech businesses with a redundant source from which to operate.

Add to that, the quality of life, the schools, the widening of Ga. 400 to eight lanes and the access to higher education, and Alpharetta soon became a darling location in the industry.

Now, local tech business leaders want to build on that edge.

“The mission of Tech Alpharetta here in the city is to grow innovation and technology,” said Karen Cashion, Tech Alpharetta CEO. She told the City Council that Tech Alpharetta’s Build Committee has spent the past year developing a list of recommendations for the necessary tech infrastructure that they believe is needed to support technologies of the future.

Craig Ganssle, chairman of the Build Committee, presented four major initiatives the city may want to consider moving forward.

“As we consider ourselves the Tech City of the South, a lot of these initiatives were brought by looking at solving problems or enhancing our city from a technological perspective and how it would add value to citizens, businesses and other aspects of the city,” Ganssle said.

The list of proposed initiatives includes: • City WiFi: To provide publically available high-speed connectivity for retail, dining and entertainment venues. WiFi forms the foundation for the connected, educated and engaged populace.

• My Town app: To improve public awareness of Alpharetta amenities and increase community engagement between public and elected officials.

• Electric and/or autonomous shuttle: To move people between pre-set shuttle stops near high traffic/frequently visited areas such as Avalon, City Center, Windward Parkway. (Downtown Chattanooga provides free electric shuttles) • Electric bike bikeshare rental program: Programs is successfully underway in Baltimore and Birmingham.

Ganssle said information assembled for the initiatives is preliminary and that costs are early estimates.

“There is much further research needed in a couple of these initiatives to really dive into what the actual costs would be,” he said. “But, we felt that it would behoove to present to City Council some kind of idea of what you’re looking at when you’re proposing initiatives like this.”

City officials said they are still far from pulling the trigger on any of the initiatives, but it helps to have a practical plan to draw from.

180 initiatives cost/benefit City WiFi: Values: • Creates the base infrastructure to support all other IoT initiatives.

• Builds a reputation on technology value to the city with content filtering and security for its users.

• Creates an ROI to the city from a marketing platform.

Costs: • One-time development costs estimated at $700K • Annual recurring cost estimated at $160K • Includes 10Gb fiber backbone, 802.11ac Gigabit rated wireless, full-stack content filtering, full-stack IDS / IPS and Advanced Security Firewall My Town app: Values: • Allows citizen involvement. Enables immediate alert messaging.

• Serves residents, guests and commuting workers.

• Served to the city as a managed service, always current and up to date.

Costs: • Support iOS and Android, one-time development costs estimated at $300K • Annual recurring development and management costs estimated at $65K Electric/Autonomous Shuttle Value: • Potentially alleviate traffic congestion and eliminate the need for MARTA extension.

Costs: • Startup cost per shuttle: $15,000 - $30,000 (one time) • Leasing cost per shuttle: $10,000 - $15,000/mo.

• Other operating cost per shuttle: $2,500 - $5,000/mo.

• Traffic monitoring system per mile: $10,000 - $20,000/ mile • Alpharetta shuttle app: $2,500/mo.

Electric Bike Share Values: • Less traffic congestion, low emissions, ease of commutes • Potential revenue source from rentals, partnerships and advertising Costs: • Private operators offer about 85- 90 bikes, two docking stations per bike, 8-10 parking stations/kiosks, app with GPS tracking for $400,000 - $500,000 • Option 1 - $250,000 - $275,000 annual cost that includes operating the kiosks, app and maintenance of infrastructure. Advertising and rider revenue is city’s income.

• Option 2 - $0 annual cost, but all revenue from riders’ fees and advertising is private operators’ income.

The new strong Gaining control over your fitness and your life For many people, aging equals lower metabolism, weight gain and less energy for activities you enjoy. This is directly related to loss of lean muscle.

While you can’t avoid getting older, there are some steps you can take to stop the process of muscle loss and start rebuilding healthy, lean muscle.

It doesn’t matter how old you are or whether you haven’t exercised in years.

You can still regain lean muscle that improves your shape and increases your metabolism.

Our downfall is inactivity. Too much sitting is the new smoking. Our bodies were meant to be active, stay active and be strong. When we stop doing meaningful exercise, we lose ground.

What is meaningful exercise?

A critical component of stimulating the improvements we seek from exercise is the achievement of momentary mus-

cular failure in each exercise performed.

With steady-state activities, like walking on a treadmill or biking, there is no momentary muscular failure involved.

Unless activity is demanding, it is practically worthless from an exercise perspective. However, if an activity is sufficiently demanding to take the targeted muscles to momentary failure, then it qualifies as meaningful exercise. Muscle failure should be viewed as a means of signaling the body that it needs to get stronger in order to meet the demands being placed upon it.

What is the SuperSlow Zone solution?

The SuperSlow Zone protocol is the original and genuine slow-motion, personal strength training workout.

The exercise protocol has been proven successful in both building muscle and increasing resting metabolism, thus

allowing the body to burn more calories at rest.

SuperSlow Zone provides a safe and

effective workout in a short amount of time so that you can get in, get out, and get on with your busy life!

SuperSlow Zone is helping adults get fit for life!

Retainers – hold that smile Brought to you by Dr. Jeffrey Jordan, Jordan Orthodontics Creating the perfect smile takes time, energy, effort, and money, all valuable assets! However, keeping a beautiful smile requires a little maintenance, like most things in life. Fortunately, today’s orthodontic patients have the option of either fixed or removable retainers.

Stories surrounding lost retainers have become family legends, leading some patients to choose a fixed wire.

A very thin wire is glued to the back of the teeth after treatment. With continuous coverage, the fixed wire has a 24/7 advantage, but requires more attention when cleaning the teeth. Also, the wire can become loose and must be repaired quickly before the teeth move. In addition, fixed upper wires can sometimes interfere with the patient’s bite. Consequently, most patients opt for a fixed lower retainer and a removable upper retainer.

The removable retainer, available in a variety of colors and with decals, has become an individual statement! Many adults prefer the clear retainer that can double as a whitening tray. Like any other habit, the continual wearing of

Since teeth can shift back to their original position, the consistent use of a retainer encourages teeth to stay straight until the tissue around the teeth can reorganize.

Even with your best efforts, sometimes, the habit of maintaining your teeth slips and years pass. At Dr. Jordan’s office, we want to welcome you back. Sometimes all it takes is a little tweaking to restore your teeth to their former glory!

Around the holidays, it is nice to have a few strategies for looking and continuing to look your best. Listed below are a few facts that we hope that you will find fun or useful.

1. Green cancels red. Whether you have rosacea, acne or just a complexion that is a bit more ruddy than you would like, it is helpful to know this little beauty secret. Green makeup, concealer or moisturizer is often the best strategy to cover up red blemishes, especially in a pinch. Apply a thin coat to the area that is too red, blend it in with the normal skin at the edges, and you have found the best way to elegantly hide a red mark or complexion. Knowing this tip can allow you to “conceal without caking.” A thin coat of green-tinted concealer often works better than a thick (and too obvious) coat of skin-toned cover-up.

Need something stronger? Consider seeing a board-certified dermatologist to discuss modern anti-redness options like Rhofade, Mirvaso, or Oracea.

2. UPF is the new SPF. Looking for a great gift idea for a family member who spends time outdoors?

Modern beach, athletic, and outdoor wear is increasingly being sold with a “UPF” rating. UPF stands for ultraviolet protection factor. It works the same way that SPF (sun protection factor) ratings do on sunscreen. A shirt with a UPF rating of 50 lets 1/50 of the sun’s rays through. It used to be that rash guards and protective clothing were not fashionable or aesthetically appealing. Thankfully, our increasingly health-conscious population has spurred the growth of a whole industry catering to those who love the outdoors but who also want to keep their skin healthy. Amazingly, the average thin white cotton t-shirt only has the same protection as a sunscreen with SPF 4!

Just because your loved one is wearing a shirt while outdoors, they will not be truly protected unless they are wearing UPF-rated clothing.

3. Botox and Beyond. Many people are aware of how botox can nearly painlessly fade away wrinkles and improve one’s appearance in areas like the forehead and crow’s feet, but Botox and its cousin neuromodulators Xeomin and Dysport have applications that one might not guess. A skilled botox injector such as a board-certified dermatologist is likely to know a few creative ways to use Botox. Here are two examples: The gummy smile: When we smile, our upper lip lifts over our teeth. Sometimes, the upper lip lifts more than we

would like, showing not only the teeth but a large amount of the gums as well.

For many people, an amazing transformation can be achieved by injecting botox at a few strategic points on the upper lip near the DR. TAYLOR nose. This can weaken the muscle that lifts the lip and restore the lip to a lower position when smiling.

The perma-frown: A muscle called the depressor anguli oris pulls the corners of the mouth down. In many people, the muscle is a little too active, and when the person’s face is at rest, the corners are slightly pulled down giving an appearance of dissatisfaction.

A few units of Botox at a strategic point above the jawline can often release this muscle allowing the corners of the mouth to pull back up. Now, people can see one’s true happiness and contentment rather than the façade of a frown that was not felt.

4. Vein care. Winter is one of the best times to think about vein care, partially because most insurance companies require patients to wear compression stockings for 90 days before the company approves medically necessary vein treatments. Winter is the most comfortable time to wear those compression stockings because they will keep you warm in the winter but can really be a pest in July or August.

Vein disease doesn’t simply mean varicose veins. Over a third of patients with vein disease may have no visible varicose veins at all. Some of the less visible veins can have valves that malfunction.

This can lead to swelling, itching, leg pain, restless legs, leg pain at night, heaviness after sitting or being on your feet all day and many other complaints that might not seem to obviously arise from malfunctioning veins. A painless and safe ultrasound study can identify whether your symptoms are due to vein disease, and modern treatments are minimally invasive carry a vastly improved risk / benefit ratio over treatments of old.

At Premier Dermatology and Mohs Surgery of Atlanta, it is our privilege to take care of you this holiday season and our pleasure to help you look and feel your best and healthiest. Whether you have a suspicious mole and want to discuss UPF clothing or whether you have a gummy smile or lower leg complaints that might be venous in origin, we are delighted to serve you. If you have skin health, vein or beauty questions, we hope that you will consider spending a part of your holiday season with us.

Choosing the right permanent makeup artist Brought to you by: Barbara Rahn RN CPCP Enhanced Beauty Permanent Makeup Today there seems to be a cosmetic tattoo artist on every street corner. You can find them in beauty shops, spas and even nail salons.

When searching for a permanent makeup artist, the consumer should research and do extensive homework.

This is your appearance. You will be displaying the results for quite some time. You will be looking at your appearance in the mirror on a daily basis.

You want to love it and be pleased that you made the right decision.

One of the first things to consider is safety. Your health is valuable and you want to protect it. The public assumes that all providers are licensed and approved by “some” government agency. This is far from the truth in many locations. For example, microblading has fallen through the legal cracks in many states. It is marketed as “semi permanent” and therefore not governed under existing tattoo law or permanent makeup laws. It is important to be aware that “microblading” IS tattooing. Anytime the skin is broken and pigment is placed into the tissue, a tattoo has been created. Is your provider licensed? Does your provider attend annual Bloodborne Pathogen Training? Is your provider aware that the Hepatitis C virus can survive outside of the body for several days? This is long enough to pass

the virus from client to client. Ask these questions and protect one of the most valuable assets you have, your health.

Other things to ask consider: 1. Has your artist taken the time to answer all of your questions? Were you provided written pre and post care directions?

2. Will the artist schedule appropriate time for you? I have had clients tell me their previous provider was finished in 30 minutes. I block 2-3 hours per procedure.

3. Did your artist share an extensive portfolio of his/her OWN work? Do you both share the same vision of what you expect from the service?

4. Do you feel comfortable with your provider?

5. Was the office/studio clean?

6. Does your provider attend regular continuing education courses? Is he/she certified by The Society of Permanent Makeup Professionals or The American Academy of Micropigmentation?

I am a Registered Nurse with years of experience in the medical and beauty profession. I attend continuing education approximately every 3-4 months and am certified by the SPCP. Visit me on Facebook at Enhanced Beauty Permanent Makeup, on Instagram at EB Permanent Makeup or at my website.

I would be happy to take care of your permanent makeup and medical tattooing needs.

Holidays with family without going insane Mariann Mamberg Psychotherapist & Life Coach You must love them or you wouldn’t keep going back, so here are some very quick tips on surviving: 1: Don’t expect people to change.

You know what to expect, so smile and deal with it. You let them, and yourself, off the hook when you do. Your life will be the same when dinner (or the weekend) is over, so remember: “This too shall pass.”

2: Move on – literally. If someone is bothering you, get up and move away to another conversation. Don’t get drawn into discussions that you know in advance are not going to end well.

3: Don’t take it personally. In every family there is someone who holds a grudge. It may be against you. That’s

their problem, not yours, and laughing when they are nasty feels so good.

4: Be compassionate. Instead of blaming someone, or yourself, try turning to humor. Laugh at yourself. If someone has a miserable disposition, think of it this way: he/she has to live with him/herself all year long. For you, it’s a day or two!

5: Kill them with kindness. It’s hard for someone to be unpleasant to you, if, no matter what they say or do, you are being super-nice to them. It’s a version of giving, rather than receiving.

6: Keep your perspective. It’s not interminable. The night, or day, or weekend will end…and then you can look forward to next year!

If you have hair loss, you’re not alone. Over 35 million men and 21 million women in the U.S. experience hair loss. People don’t normally associate women with baldness, but it’s just as common in women as it is in men, though the timing and pattern of hair loss is different. Men start losing their hair in during their 20’s and 30’s, while thinning hair starts later in women between their 40’s and 50’s. But regardless of if you are a man or a woman, hair loss can be devastating.

At Johns Creek Dermatology, we take a well-rounded, comprehensive approach to hair loss for all age groups, including men and women.

We do a complete blood workup and biopsy, if necessary, to determine the cause of hair loss. Once we have narrowed down the cause, there are many treatment options, including topicals, shampoos, compounds, oral medication, and PRP therapy.

PRP therapy can help men and women who are experiencing hair loss at the crown, cap or part line, or overall thinning. PRP therapy is an exciting non-surgical option for patients who require stimulation of their hair follicle growth for hair loss conditions. Once the PRP is ready, and anesthesia block is given to the nerves of the scalp so the patient does not feel any pain, then the highly concentrated PRP is injected into the scalp. The patient’s hair is then washed and the patient may drive home without assistance.

Recovery after PRP treatment is relatively easy!

Call today to schedule your appointment to discuss which treatment options are best for you!

Roswell graduates to premiere film in hometown Documentary chronicles forgotten NBA champ, his fight with Alzheimer’s

By JOE PARKER joe@appenmediagroup.com ROSWELL, Ga. — Even prodigious NBA fans may not know the name Jim Tucker, but two Roswell graduates are bringing the story of one of the NBA’s forgotten first stars to the forefront with their documentary “Let ‘Em Know You’re There.”

The film will be previewed Dec. 16 at Gate City Brewing.

The documentary is the work of 2006 Roswell graduate Field Humphrey who directed and edited the film.

Humphrey worked on ESPN’s “30 for 30” documentary series before creating his own production company, Readily Apparent Media.

He was made aware of Tucker’s story by fellow Roswell grad Bernie Snow, Tucker’s grandson. The duo then decided to highlight the life and career of the often-forgotten man who now struggles with his own memory due to Alzheimer’s.

“The film focuses on what’s in a legacy,” Humphrey said. “It’s about a forgotten team and a forgotten player, but that is just the basketball portion

of an incredible life.”

Though Jim Tucker may not be a household name, he holds three historically significant markers in NBA history, including a record that stands to this day.

Playing with the Syracuse Nationals in 1955, Tucker and his teammate Earl Lloyd became the first African-American players to win an NBA championship. That same year, the 24-second shot clock was introduced by the Nationals.

Adding to the historic season, Jim Tucker set the fastest triple-double in NBA history against the Knicks on Feb. 20, 1955. Tucker compiled 12 points, 10 rebounds and 12 assists in just 17 minutes. Tucker’s feat remains unmatched over six decades later.

Though Tucker was involved in significant moments in NBA history, his professional career was short-lived, but his tale was far from over. He later attended Harvard business school, at a time when African-Americans were still faced with segregation. He continued breaking barriers, becoming a top executive at Pillsbury.

amazing impact,” Humphrey said. “For someone who could have had a lot of animosity for how he was treated growing up black in the South, he has an amazingly positive attitude.”

But now, Tucker struggles to remember his own remarkable story.

“Let ‘Em Know You’re There” highlights Tucker’s battle with memory loss, as well as his wife’s unwavering love for her husband.

Tucker’s wife, Jan, has created photo albums and videos, showcasing the people Jim loves, his past and his family. To start each day, the couple scan the photos and view the videos.

“He talks about these memories,” Humphrey said. “He still feels the emotion, he just doesn’t remember the events as much.”

Humphrey will preview his production in his hometown at 2 p.m., Dec. 16 at Roswell’s Gate City Brewing.

He said he is proud to bring the production to Roswell, where his journey to becoming a filmmaker began.

“It’s a big deal for us to be able to showcase this in Roswell,” Humphrey said. “I first got interested in filmmaking during a media tech class at

Titan’s championship game postponed Road conditions move game to this Friday at Marist

By JOE PARKER joe@appenmediagroup.com ROSWELL, Ga. — This year’s Class 4A state championship game may not have the pomp and circumstance of being played in the new Mercedes-Benz Stadium, but a state title will still be on the line Friday as Marist hosts Blessed Trinity.

And that’s just fine with Titan’s head coach Tim McFarlin.

“The way I look at it, and the kids too, is we are fortunate enough to be playing for a state championship, we’re not going to complain about where,” he said.

The GHSA postponed last Saturday’s state title game due to potential unsafe road conditions with ice on the roads. Only two of the eight contests of the Friday and Saturday schedule were completed.

BT’s game was still set to be played at the scheduled 4:30 p.m. kickoff time after Friday, but late Saturday morning the GHSA announced that the 4A

championship was also postponed.

In a statement, the GHSA said after discussions with Mercedes-Benz stadium officials and Georgia Public Broadcasting staff, BT’s game and the following 7A state title game were postponed due to safety concerns.

“We regret not being able to play our full schedule of championship games at Mercedes-Benz Stadium, but GHSA’s priority is the safety of teams and fans traveling to the game,” the statement said.

The GHSA later announced the team with the highest playoff seeding would host the rescheduled games.

With Marist holding a No. 1 seed, the 4A state title game will be played this Friday at 7:30 p.m. at Marist.

The game will be streamed on the NFHS Network, an online streaming outlet.

GPB was slated to air all state championship games but has yet to announce whether they will broadcast the rescheduled contests.

Reflect: Continued from Page 10 quated techniques. Safety of motorists was also a driving factor.

“Birmingham Highway and Providence Road was just about the most dangerous intersection in North Georgia,” Lusk said. “To be able to put in the roundabout and decrease the accident rate was a huge step for the city.”

Thurman said the creation of the city’s fire and police departments for in-

creased resident safety is perhaps what she is most proud of during her tenure with the city.

“Public safety is the first and foremost thing we must do,” she said. “It was one of our greatest successes that we could respond much faster than we were used to. Everything we do is important, but life and death is most important.”

In addition to increasing the safety of residents, Thurman said she hopes to be remembered for her efforts in preserving Milton’s rural character through the Greenspace Bond, large lot

In Memoriam

Frances Nelson deFenelon Cain

Family, friendship, and faith were the tenets that guided Frances deFenelon Cain through her 86 years of life. Relationships were key and she nurtured them to the fullest. During the time of her short illness and passing on December 3rd, the quality of those relationships was seen in how people cared for her and how fully the Lord had blessed her.

Born in Indianapolis, Indiana to Irby and Bailey deFenelon, Fran was given many opportunities to broaden herself—dance lessons, voice, horseback riding as well as travel and the training to debut into Indianapolis society.

Following high school, she attended an all-girl’s finishing college in St. Louis, MO, but wanted something more and transferred to Rollins College in Winter Park, Fl. She graduated in 1953 with a degree in Interior Design and returned to Indianapolis.

In her initial working days, Fran was a bank teller and AAA ‘TripTik’ creator. As she would tell it, she looked for jobs in her field, but all that was open to her was fitting and ordering drapes— no thank you. Although Fran did not professionally practice design, it was a passion and avocation throughout her life. Two years later she would meet and marry Charles Cain, also of Indianapolis.

Coincidentally, they had both attended college in Florida, and once their three children were born, they headed back to Winter Park, FL to raise their children and for Charlie to found and run a successful insurance agency. Throughout that time, Fran was a devoted wife, mother, and friend to all.

An avid traveler from a very young age, Fran and Charlie traversed Europe, Mexico and Central America together.

They seemed to be always planning that

next adventure or two. Just past their 51st anniversary, Charlie passed away and for the next and final ten years, Fran had somewhat of a life resurgence. She gardened avidly, discovered a latent love of cats, joined clubs, social and church groups, attended classes, exercised routinely, and made friends!

Fran found true delight in all these new adventures and relationships. Despite being ten years older than most of her friends, she did it all with gusto and panache. It was a life well-lived and she loved every moment of it, reveling in her blessings.

Fran is survived by her daughters, Patti Cain-Stanley, and son-in-law, Glenn Stanley of Costa Mesa, CA and Brenda Miller and son-in-law Kevin Miller of Milton, GA.; and her son, Ed Cain and daughterin-law Monica Cain of Alexander City, AL.; as well as her seven grandchildren: Greg and Brian Stanley, Bailey Barber and Kevin and Kelly Miller, and Alex and Harrison Cain.

In lieu of flowers, please make a memorial donation to either the ASPCA to fight animal cruelty or her local humane society.

The service will be followed by a luncheon at the church. Frances will be interred at St. Martin in the Fields in Atlanta next to her husband, father, and stepmother.

incentives and design standards.

“Those are the things that are going to make sure that Milton continues to be a very special place to be,” she said.

Thurman is still happy with her decision not to seek re-election, stating she needed time to focus on her health, family and business. And she believes the city is in good hands.

“I feel like I’ve raised a teenager and they’re going off to college for others to work on now,” she said. “I’m sure they will continue to hold the same ideals we have had from the beginning.”

She said she still plans to serve Milton residents, just in a different capacity.

“Going forward, I’m not sure what the future holds, but I’ve been praying about it,” she said.

Finishing his second full-term, Lusk says he believes his service with the city will continue through the Veterans Memorial Markers and the historical markers project. In addition, he says the road improvements, projects at the city’s parks and City Hall will continue his legacy.

Like Thurman, Lusk has a positive outlook for the future of the city.

“I feel good about the fact this project is in the hands of the owner, so to speak, and they’re going to improve upon it as they see fit,” he said. “We’ve got a lot to be proud of in this city. You

played on a higher level, seems to be the general consensus.

Generally speaking, I can agree with that. But at the same time, we are not talking about girls with the skills and athleticism of 4-year olds picking their nose in left field while the ball rolls past them during a little league game. We are talking about, especially in high school sports in North Fulton and Forsyth County, top-tier athletes who are not only fun to watch, but show that the gap naysayers speak of between the boys and girls game is rapidly closing.

Now that basketball season is underway, I have attended half a dozen or so games, and invariably, the girls’ games are sparsely attended. Then, with about 20 or so minutes before the boys are set to tip off, the student section arrives to meet the scant few already in their seats.

And that’s a shame. More times than not, those arriving just to see the bigger, faster and stronger boys missed some great players, great plays and a great game by skipping the girls contest.

To say you are a sports fan or the fan of a program or school and totally disregard women’s sports, it invalidates your statement.

So, give the girls a chance. You just might find that there are some exceptional athletes, teams and games you’ve been missing.

Fighting: Continued from Page 8 I’ve watched her video from that day and it seems like she was minding her own business until some people with power decided they didn’t want to be filmed anymore just because they said so.

Former Georgia Attorney General Sam Olens was at the event, took a photo with Tisdale prior to this incident and testified last week. He summed it up well when he said all elected officials should assume in this day and age they are being filmed.

How can we truly know what’s going on behind closed doors in the governments we are required to abide by if they

won’t let a local woman film a few campaign speeches at a pumpkin patch?

If this is what happens when being filmed, in public and with multiple bigname witnesses, what do we need see?

Nydia Tisdale is fighting the good fight for transparency for everyone, not just official, professional journalists.

She attends meetings we are unable to due to time constraints and gets her videos, or Nydios as she calls them, out to us quickly and typically in full form with minimal editing.

As a reporter, I appreciate that. I’ve watched some of her videos for stories.

If we decide to now start censoring what she’s doing, transparency will just get cloudier.

Keep up the great work, Nydia. I stand behind you.

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.
