School zone speeding stats may trigger clampdown in Alpharetta

By PATRICK FOX pat@appenmediagroup.com

By the numbers

ALPHARETTA, Ga. — Armed with figures showing excessive violations by motorists, Alpharetta city leaders are exploring a sweeping program to target speeders in school zones.

At its May 20 meeting, the City Council heard from Alpharetta Police Maj. T. Lindgren who came with a report he said attested to concerns residents have voiced over the issue of school safety. Lindgren cited a recent study that logged more than 3,500 speed violations during a one-week period at six local schools. The study covered 10 hours — one hour before classes began and one hour after dismissal — for five days.

The study was conducted by Red Speed USA and Verra Mobility, two companies that specialize in traffic safety systems.

Statistics over the one-week study revealed dozens of cases where motorists were clocked at more than 30 mph over the speed limit in the school zone. New Prospect Elementary logged 53 such cases. One motorist was clocked at 59 mph through a school zone.

“We just don’t have enough people to address this effectively,” Lindgren said.

He proposed the city consider seeking proposals from a private firm to install and monitor cameras at all school zones. There are a number of services, he said, that provide all the equipment and monitoring at no cost, with proceeds from fines split with the city.

The city’s share of the fines would be

Here’s a rundown of speeding violations logged at six Alpharetta schools over a one-week period, monitoring traffic one hour before the opening bell and one hour after dismissal.

• New Prospect Elementary: 1,333 violations in 10 hours • Webb Bridge Middle: 1,374 violations in 10 hours • Haynes Bridge Middle: 896 violations in 9 hours • Alpharetta High: 680 violations in 9 hours • Manning Oaks: 100 violations in 9 hours • Creek View Elementary: 66 violations in 9 hours Total: 3,557 violations

City officials were generally approving of the idea.

“In my first discussion with you all, I was a little equivocal — the libertarian

inside of me — until I saw the numbers,” Councilman John Hipes said.

Lindgren said the monitoring equipment used under the program would be state certified for calibration, and

Alpharetta City Council moves to ban vape shops

By PATRICK FOX pat@appenmediagroup.com ALPHARETTA, Ga. — Following in the footsteps of surrounding cities, the Alpharetta City Council was scheduled to take a final vote this week on an ordi-

nance prohibiting vape shops within the city.

By a vote of 6-1, council members approved the proposed ordinance at its May 20 meeting.

A vape shop is defined within the ordinance as any business whose principal

product line and aggregate sales — 25 percent or greater — is alternative nicotine products or vape juice, or both.

While conceding that vaping products are readily available to virtually anyone online, proponents of the measure said at the May 20 meeting that they want the city to stand against anything that could potentially harm children.

Councilman Ben Burnett, who voted against the ordinance, said the city is opening itself up to lawsuits by instituting a full-scale ban. A more prudent approach, he argued, would be for the city to adopt zoning regulations for the shops.

The balance of the council disagreed.

Katie Reeves, Fulton County School Board member, addressed the council in favor of the ban, relating a growing number of cases where the vaping devices were being secreted into schools.

The devices are so small, she said, that students can vape in class without the teacher being aware.

“They’re losing the battle right now,” Reeves said. “They’re literally losing the battle.”

Alpharetta currently has one vape shop in operation, a business that was granted a conditional use in 2017.

In a related matter at the May 20 meeting, the council also passed on first reading another ordinance to ban shareable, dockless, motorized mobility devices, such as scooters and bicycles.

Officials said cities across the country are being plagued by these rental devices being abandoned along sidewalks and roadways with no consideration for pedestrian traffic or personal property.

Again, Burnett opposed the ordinance after failing to place a one-year expiration on the ban.

OPINION

The war on vapes In the last few months, local officials have passed a number of measures to combat vaping among teens, an issue many parents and school officials say is an epidemic impacting students’ JOE PARKER health and wellReporter joe@appenmediagroup.com being.

Milton and Alpharetta have or are in the process of banning any new vape shops from doing business in the city. Johns Creek is considering an ordinance that would limit the amount of floor space that can be dedicated to vaping products, and at least one Forsyth County official recently expressed support for a total ban on new shops.

It has been fairly obvious that many elected officials simply do not want vape shops in their city — have to keep up appearances of the well-to-do area, don’t you know. But instead of coming out and saying so, they are going to the classic catch-all: “We need to protect the kids.”

But with their pitchforks sharpened and torches blazing, eventually this effective ban on legal substances will go too far. And it did May 16 when the Cherokee County School Board approved changes to its disciplinary code to address vaping.

What could have been a positive move to possibly curtail some teens from vaping was done in such a ham-fisted way that its impacts will likely be incredibly subjective and unjust.

The ordinance states that there is no way to quickly and accurately test vape juices to determine if they are simply flavored juice, if they contain nicotine or if they contain CBD or THC oils. Because of a lack of such testing measures, Cherokee County has chosen to simply assume, “absent clear and convincing evidence to the contrary,” that any juice is laced with THC or CBD oils and the

student will face, in effect, marijuana charges.

So instead of punishing a student for breaking a school rule, an 18-year old in possession of a legal substance containing no THC oil or cannabinoids will be treated as a criminal.

Yes, the language states the student can prove the juice in his vape does not contain illegal substances, but what if he or she fills the vape up in the morning and leaves the bottle at home? What if the strawberry juice in his vape has a different color and smell than the bottle of peach juice in his possession?

He will face immediate external suspension, and a tribunal will be held “with a recommendation for a long-term assignment to alternative school or expulsion.”

A student expelled and sent to alternative school, completely changing the trajectory of his high school years and likely having lasting impacts well beyond, because he could not immediately prove his vape juice did not contain THC. I do not condone vaping for teens, but Cherokee County School Board’s new policy will likely result in unjust punishments being served on teens when the infraction has no true supporting evidence, only speculation.

The board’s chair was quoted as saying the measure is “extreme,” but it is deserving given vaping is an “extreme situation.”

But it should be considered that teens do not have the same understanding of risk vs. reward we have as adults.

And if the ultimate goal is to protect teens, it is asinine to slap a student with a marijuana charge when the school administration cannot confirm its presence in the vape juice.

Officials are sitting on their holierthan-thou thrones where vaping is concerned, but they need to watch how high they raise themselves before the bottom falls out and teens are facing serious criminal charges for possessing flavored juice.

Preview of Innovation Academy draws hundreds STEM high school to open August 2020

By CANDY WAYLOCK candy@appenmediagroup.com If interest is any indication of success, the Innovation Academy opening next year in downtown Alpharetta is off to a strong start.

Nearly 1,000 people attended the four information meetings held in May for the STEM-focused school currently under construction on Milton Avenue where old Milton High School once stood.

“The introductory Innovation Academy roadshow certainly met its goal,” said Fulton Schools Area Superintendent Kibbey Crumbley. “We wanted to start meeting prospective families and introducing our principal, Tim Duncan. We look forward to more information nights in the coming weeks and months.”

The meetings provided parents and prospective students with the first indepth look at curriculum, schedules, design and goals for the science, technology, engineering and math high school.

The school has been on the Fulton School System drawing board for nearly

three years as an option for students seeking a unique high school experience. It promises a curriculum deep in technology, innovation and collaboration to prepare students for the 21st century workforce.

Innovation Academy will open in August 2020 with an initial class of 450 freshmen, adding a freshman class for the next three years until the school capacity of 1,800 students is reached.

Applications for the first year will open Oct 6 and close Dec. 8. If applications exceed 450, a lottery will determine spots. There is no requirement to attend Innovation Academy, explained Doannie Tran, assistant superintendent of Innovative Programs, other than a strong interest and inclination for a STEM curriculum.

“The school will offer an interdisciplinary, project-based curriculum co-developed with Georgia Tech, using real world applications that have meaning beyond the classroom,” said Tran, a former science teacher in California and Boston, and graduate of North Springs Charter High School.

The instruction will focus on “de-

OPINION

Delivering the news can be slightly mind-altering One advantage of having ADD when you work in the business that I work in — the news business — is that I have this archive of unfinished columns I can turn to whenever I want to write. For Ray appen every column I have Publisher ray@appenmediagroup.com published over the years, I probably have 10 that I started and never finished that are just sitting there on my laptop, dormant, like old bears hibernating through the winter, waiting for spring.

Most of the time, I am able to pick up where I left off. Unlike the real professionals who crank out copy on a daily basis — real journalists like Hatcher Hurd — I almost always wait to be inspired by something before I write. So, when I go back and review all those unfinished pieces, the inspiration or idea is almost always still there in some form.

I wandered through some of those old half-finished columns this morning and renewed my acquaintance with an old friend — actually two: my admiration

for our newspaper delivery folks and the physical and emotional experience found in the act of delivering newspapers. The latter ties in nicely with one of the more current topics that I write about these days — how overwhelming life is now because of technology, complexity and disconnection.

It has now been a few years since I have gone out and delivered one of our newspaper routes. I used to do that when one of the carriers would call in sick or went on vacation or when the economy was tanking, and we needed to cut expenses.

Delivering newspapers is not rocket science, although it does require a set of functions and requirements — like endurance — that we do not normally exercise in our day-to-day lives. We deliver the newspapers to the same neighborhoods every week. We almost never change that.

Because the papers are free, the default is to deliver a newspaper to every house in the subdivision. The exception is when a resident has called or emailed or occasionally aggressively and loudly shouted at us — every few years, with a weapon in their hand — requesting or demanding that we not deliver the paper to their home. Seriously, I could tell you

stories.

When that happens, we add the address to our “no-deliver” list and cease delivering to that home. We have now maintained that list for 29 years. Of the almost 75,000 papers we deliver weekly (actually 93,000 when one counts the Dunwoody Crier), there are roughly 500 (about a half of 1 percent) on the nodeliver list.

So, most of the time when one is delivering the papers, one enters the subdivision and simply starts turning right every time there is a road to the right and keeps tossing the paper out the passenger side window. Most of the time you can navigate the entire subdivision that way and not miss a single home — toss, toss, turn right, toss, toss, toss, turn right etc. Occasionally there are subdivisions where that doesn’t work, and one has to double back many times and reverse direction many times. Seven Oaks off Sargent Road is an example and Martins Landing in Roswell is another.

So, delivering a route forces one to focus on the road in front of you and at the approaching driveway at the same time — and keep watch in your peripheral vision for the house numbers for the next no-deliver address. You grab a

paper from the bag (without taking your eyes off the road) in the seat next to you, then toss it accurately out the passenger window — again not really looking — aiming for the middle of the driveway or, if it is supposed to rain that day, for the closest patch of grass adjacent to the driveway. Then again, and again, and again.

I usually drove in the middle of the night starting around 11 p.m. and finishing sometime before 6 a.m.

Typically, I was listening to classical music — the great symphonies, or when I tired, sometimes some CCR or Stones. Time would pass without notice. The car (or in my case, truck) became like a bubble, isolated from the rest of the world. All that existed was the road ahead, driveways, music and right turns.

My mind would wander. I often had conversations with old lost friends or my dead parents. I went back to the past and projected to the future. I reviewed the day’s school stories from my kids — Hans and Amelia or Carl. I would drift aimlessly in my mind. Throw, throw, throw, turn right.

The most surprising thing would oc-

Police, fire officers share tips to stay safe this summer

By CARSON COOK carson@appenmediagroup.com NORTH FULTON, Ga. — As temperatures rise, so can crime rates, as thieves take advantage of people whose minds are on vacation.

Johns Creek Police Lt. Todd Hood shared some tips to help keep your home and family safe this summer.

Home burglaries are about 11 percent more common in the summer, according to the U.S. Bureau of Justice Statistics. If you’re going on vacation this summer, it’s a good idea to notify your local police department, Hood said.

Most local jurisdictions have some sort of vacation watch program which allows residents to request sporadic checks while they’re out of town. Travelers should also ask a neighbor to pick up their mail and should not post on social media about their vacation until they return home, Hood said.

“I know it’s hard, you want to go on Facebook and say ‘Look, we’re at the beach,’” Hood said. “Wait until you get home and then share what your vacation was about.”

Thefts can also happen around the

pool and at gyms. Hood encouraged swimmers to secure their valuables like phones, keys and wallets before they dive in.

“It’s very easy to get caught up in playing with your kids in the pool and that’s going to give criminals an opportunity,” he said.

Another summer danger is leaving pets and children in cars. Last year in the U.S., 52 children under 14 years old died of heatstroke after being left in the car, according to kidsandcars.org.

If you need to run errands and don’t want to bring your child with you, you should leave them at home with a babysitter, Hood said. Parents who leave children in cars unattended could face charges, he said.

“Law enforcement is a lot more aware of this happening, and the community is aware so they’re going to call us in if they see something,” Hood said.

Hood also urged drivers to be aware of additional foot traffic especially in residential areas. With school out, there can be children playing in the roads or along sidewalks throughout the day, so drivers should be cautious, he said.

Another local risk during the summer is the Chattahoochee River. Each summer, local fire departments are deployed to rescue people who floated down the river without proper precautions.

When water is released from Buford Dam, the river rises quickly and can leave people stranded, Johns Creek Interim Fire Chief Chris Coons said.

Those who plan to be on the river can call (1-855-326-3569) to hear the release schedule each day.

Coons emphasized the importance of wearing personal flotations devices and remaining aware of the time and the conditions of the river.

Tran described an example of a design challenge in which students would work in teams to design a tool holder that minimizes the risk of infection for patients.

The project would utilize student knowledge in health care sciences, engineering, humanities and leadership strategies to successfully complete the assignment.

The school offers three career clusters — healthcare, information technology, and engineering —with career pathways leading to high demand jobs in surgical technology, emergency medical responder, nursing, computer programming, biotechnology, cybersecurity, game design, mechatronics and others.

Innovation Academy will be a magnet school with open enrollment to any student in North Fulton who is interested in a STEM education. A South STEM school will open in 2021 to serve the population south of the city of Atlanta.

To accommodate students who do not drive, the school will offer “sweep” buses that will pick up the student at their zoned high school and transport them to Innovation Academy.

Duncan will spend the next year preparing the school and staff for opening day in August 2020 and is excited about the interest in Innovation Academy and its unique approach to learning. He said the idea of design thinking has been well accepted.

Local woman founds charity to help single parents graduate university

By CARSON COOK carson@appenmediagroup.com JOHNS CREEK, Ga. — Kanita Smith was 21 years old, a sophomore in college, when she discovered she was pregnant with her first child.

As a single parent, she knew she wouldn’t be able to complete a residency, so she changed her course of study from pediatrics to nursing, and later to business administration.

“I was told that I was not going to graduate because I was a single parent,” Smith said. “I was told my kids were falling being in school. That I would not be successful.”

All of those predictions have proven false. It took her 10 years, but Smith graduated into a successful career at a hospice company. This year, her oldest son graduated high school with high marks.

Smith knew there were countless single parents like her who wanted to graduate college and have a fulfilling career, but were struggling with housing, childcare and other financial borders.

In 2009, she founded HOPE Inc, or Helping Other People be Empowered. The nonprofit helps single parents working toward a four-year college degree by providing monetary assistance for housing and childcare, social services, counseling and financial planning.

“I started with no nonprofit experience, no donors,” Smith said. “We went from 2 participants to 57.”

More than 30 single parents have graduated the program, and 111 children have been helped indirectly.

Among the graduates, 90 percent increased their income

More than 30 single parents have graduated the program, and 111 children have been helped indirectly.

Among the graduates, 90 percent increased their income by at least $25,000, and 38 percent were the first in their family to graduate college. by at least $25,000, and 38 percent were the first in their family to graduate college.

The nonprofit is based in Duluth, but serves parents across the state, mostly in the larger Atlanta area. May 22, Smith spoke before the Rotary Club of Johns Creek.

“Kanita is an amazing, powerful, heartfelt human being,” said Johns Bowers, a friend of Kanita who introduced her to the Rotary club. “I am better for having known her and our friendship is one of the best things to come out of my experience with Rotary.”

HOPE Inc. is looking for volunteers who can help with financial advising or tutoring. The nonprofit is also looking for college students to assist, who must be U.S. citizens, a single parent, with financial need, a high school graduate or GED holder, enrolled in an accredit university and employed.

In October, the group will host the Deon Lewis Memorial Hope Run. For more information, visit hopbe.org. Kanita Smith

Odyssey of the Mind shatters barriers The Smith family is once again going full-boar Odyssey of the Mind this week at the World Finals on the Michigan State University campus.

I will tell you that U.S.-China relations here are just fine.

For those unaware of what this event is, I will tell you. I see it as competition of mini-businesses started by teams of six to seven Geoff smith students. At the beginning of the Assurance Financial, gsmith@lendtheway.com “season,” the leaders of Odyssey release five problems any team from across the world can choose from to solve. Two years ago, Samuel’s team chose the problem where they have to build three vehicles to go from one point to another.

This year they chose the one where they built a tower out of 15 grams of balsa wood and then see how much weight they can put on top of it.

But the problem is just the beginning. While some of the team works on the problems, others write an 8-minute fictitious skit that explains why they are doing what they are doing. They build an entire set (ours took up a small U-Haul trailer this year), and then act it out in front of the judges. After their performance, they are grilled by the judges about every detail and how and why they built it that way to ensure it was in fact the students who built the set, wrote the skit and solved the problems.

The group that runs this organization is amazing.

Tournaments are filled with adults wearing silly and creative hats judging competitions, having fun and spreading a really infectious energy. This program began in New Jersey in the late 1970s and because of their efforts, there is an Odyssey of the Mind culture.

Pin-trading has become serious business with Odyssey. My boys collect pins from pretty much everywhere we visit so they can trade them during the Odyssey tournaments. They start with small groups at regionals. Then find more folks in Columbus, Ga., at the state competition. And if they are lucky enough to make it, they hit the motherload at the World Finals.

In one of the quads here on the Michigan State campus, there is a large tent filled with tables where students from every corner of the planet get together

SPECIAL

Odyssey of the Mind is a competition of mini-businesses started by teams of six to seven students from all over the world. to gawk at each other’s pins and see if they can make a trade. They may not speak the same language, but pin-trading has its own language, and everyone there speaks that. This is my older son’s second time coming to the World Finals and he’s been collecting pins for about six years now. He’s an old pro and this is the Super-Bowl of pin-trading. He was able to work his way to one of the main tables, set up his display and haggle with some of the best pin-traders in the world.

The whole point of the pin-trading is to get these students who don’t speak the same language to be together and enjoy each other’s company. And they do.

The tariffs don’t seem to be affecting these teams’ relations with each other.

There are so many quality lessons learned from Odyssey of the Mind that include teamwork, goal setting and learning the different facets of what makes a project successful. The good teams realize everyone’s talents and put each to good use.

A couple years ago, I was fortunate to be invited

to a forum at the Federal Reserve in Atlanta where a room filled with HR directors from every major company in Atlanta was surveyed as to the skill today’s job applicants most lacked. Overwhelmingly it was the soft skills. It was the applicant’s ability to gauge their audience and communicate effectively. If I could go back to that room, I’d tell all of them to head up here to Michigan and scoop up these Odyssey folks.

Passion trumps all other aspects as it relates to small business success. Surveys of small business owners concluded that working hard, putting in long hours, and being successful are only by-products of the passion they bring to work every day.

And the passion you demonstrate to your employees doesn’t go unnoticed. In fact, it’s contagious.

It’s an amazing thing to witness when everyone is passionate about their job, and the productivity and accomplishments that gets done as a result.

Do you go out of your way to make sure your customers are happy? These are all related to the passion you bring to work each day.

New exhibit highlights Atlanta artists’ colored pencil prowess

By JULIA GROCHOWSKI julia@appenmediagroup.com ROSWELL, Ga. — Residents might be surprised to hear that the art in one of Roswell’s newest exhibits is made entirely from colored pencil.

The realistic works and abstract patterns look more reminiscent of oil, acrylic or, from farther away, photography.

“Is it really colored pencil?”

It’s a question representatives from Atlanta Chapter 107 of the Colored Pencil Society of America have encountered time and time again.

“Many people have no idea what can be accomplished with this medium,” said Chapter President Debra Yaun.

“So, we reply, ‘Yes! Its colored pencil.’

I thought that would be a good name for the exhibit… We are hoping to show that colored pencil is a serious art medium.”

Chapter members will display their works at the Roswell Cultural Arts Center from June 1 through July 31 during standard business hours. All of the works are colored pencil on different surfaces, including white or toned papers, sanded papers and prepared boards.

The difference of colored pencils from other artistic mediums is the amount of control it allows, Yaun said.

“Colored pencil is easy to start and stop versus oil painting and other mediums that require a lot of clean up,” Yaun said. “It is also easy to transport or travel with. Since it is a pencil form, it allows fine detail and control that some people have trouble with in other mediums… I have been teaching for years, and many of my students have told me they had no idea what they could accomplish until they tried colored pencil.”

Katherine Moore’s work is created with colored pencil on white paper.

The exhibit will feature the work of several artists who have won international awards and are now considered signature members of the Colored Pencil Society of America. Some of the artists include Yaun, Joan Gelblat, Judith Surowiec, Katherine Moore and Susie Hood.

“Many of our artists are realists and show every detail,” Yaun said. “But colored pencil can also be used for a more abstract or creative look.”

The Colored Pencil Society of America was founded in 1990 as a nonprofit dedicated to promoting colored pencils as a fine art medium and encouraging innovative use. The Atlanta Chapter is the only one in Georgia. It meets monthly and regularly hosts programs about new products and techniques.

For more information about the exhibit, the Atlanta Chapter or to get involved, visit cpsa107.wordpress.com.

Susie Hood’s works are now on display at the Roswell Cultural Arts Center as part of an exhibit featuring colored pencils.

Roswell historic home hosts artifact exhibit

By JULIA GROCHOWSKI julia@appenmediagroup.com ROSWELL, Ga. — One of Roswell’s historic homes is offering a glimpse into the past through some of the oldest manmade objects: baskets.

Through Dec. 31, the Smith Family Collection Basket Exhibit will be on display at Smith Plantation. The collection highlights Native American and African baskets.

“We have many baskets of all types in the Smith Collection, some of which were displayed in an exhibit over 10 years ago,” said Curator Betsy Trope. “We wanted to share recent research and updated information on the African and Native American baskets with a new audience.”

All told, the Smith Collection contains more than 30,000 artifacts. This exhibit will display some of its oldest, most historically significant objects, Trope said.

“These are practical works of art,” she said. “Cherokee and African basket makers were masters of adapting the natural materials around them to create functional items that also happen to be beautiful.”

The exhibit will teach viewers about the materials, methods and styles used in weaving traditions.

“All baskets are not created equal,” Trope said. “African and Native American basket makers used very different methods and materials. Both cultures created extremely functional and beautiful baskets, using the natural resources in their environments, though the appearance and mechanics of the baskets are completely different.”

The Smith Plantation was built in 1845 by slave labor and is now open to the pubic as a museum. The home has

since become one of the best examples of vernacular architecture, as well as cultural and historical interpretation, found in the region, Trope said.

Several of the baskets in the exhibit belonged to the family. The Lowcountrystyle baskets were made by slaves, and the two Cherokee double-weave baskets are believed to have been left behind when the Cherokee were forcibly removed from north Georgia, Trope said.

Two other Native American baskets in the exhibit are more mysterious, she added. The baskets are not from the Southeast, and museum staff do not know how or when the Smith family acquired them.

The two Cherokee baskets and a grass cover are some of the highlights of the exhibit.

“The double-weave style, exclusive to the Cherokee, was praised by the earliest European settlers for its beauty, utility and skillful weaving,” Trope said.

“Grass covers were commonly used in east Africa and among enslaved people in the South to keep insects and debris out of buckets, churns or bowls. Those in the exhibit were sewn with thread and very thin blades of grass, creating a strong, yet delicate, object.”

The Smith Plantation hosts yearly exhibits with a particular theme or subset of the Smith Collection in addition to the museum’s permanent collections. Popup displays are also rotated throughout the year.

The Smith Family Collection Basket Exhibit is included with the tour of the main house. Tours begin on the hour, 10 a.m.-3 p.m., Mondays through Saturdays, and 1-3 p.m. on Sundays.

For more information about Smith Plantation and the tours, visit roswellgov.com/SmithPlantation.

Johns Creek Arts Center highlights student work

By CARSON COOK carson@appenmediagroup.com JOHNS CREEK, Ga. — The Johns Creek Arts Center’s first exhibit of the summer is dedicated to the students and members that make the gallery possible.

The exhibit features 109 pieces, making it the largest student show in the center’s history. The show includes a variety of media and styles, showcasing classes offered at the Arts Center.

For example, a new class offered this year was silk scarf painting. The show includes work by a student and the instructor for that class.

“The students like coming and seeing

their work and their classmates work,” Curator Althea Foster said. “It’s really a fun show because it reflects the Arts Center family.”

For the first time, the show was open to Arts Center members as well as current students.

“We wanted to open it up to all the most important people because the members and the students really are the heart of what we do,” Foster said.

Submitted works were judged by Tyler Nicolson with the Hudgens Center for the Arts in Duluth, with separate categories for students and members.

Among clay students, Sana Manawar was awarded first place for “Cups,” Laura Lashmar second place for

“Frank” and Jenny Zou third for “Lady in Red.” For visual works, Brenda Watson came in first for “Birther 8,” Peggy Bobon earned second for “Evening Shade” and Michelle Cornwall third for “Moo Hoo.” Among members, Haiqui Carr earned first place for “Father,” Russell Streur second place for “Harbor 2” and Margot Longreen third for “Moonlight.”

The student and member exhibition will be on display through May 31 at the Johns Creek Arts Center, at 6290 Abbotts Bridge Road, Building 700. For hours and class information, visit, johnscreekarts.org.

Roswell Rotary honors veterans

COMMUNITY

By JULIA GROCHOWSKI julia@appenmediagroup.com ROSWELL, Ga. — Each year, the City of Roswell in conjunction with the Roswell Rotary Club host what is widely known as the largest Memorial Day ceremony in the state. The ceremony regularly attracts 6,000-7,000 people.

On May 23, the Roswell Rotary Club held a preview of this year’s Roswell Remembers Memorial Day Ceremony program at Roswell Area Park.

This year marks the 22nd anniversary of the annual ceremony, which featured its second ever female guest speaker — retired Air Force Col. Patricia Blassie — on May 27 at Roswell City Hall.

Blassie served a 40-year career in the Air Force and currently works as the deputy director, directorate of manpower, personnel and services at the Headquarters Air Force Reserve Command located in Robins Air Force Base.

She’s best known helping identify her brother, 1st Lt. Michael Blassie, as one of the service members from the Vietnam War buried at the Tomb of the Unknowns, said David Young, co-chair of the Roswell Remembers Memorial Day Ceremony.

The Roswell ceremony began in 1998 after the Faces of War memorial was installed at City Hall and was inspired by past Roswell Rotary Club President Tom Price.

Veterans in the Roswell Rotary Club salute the flag during the presentation of the colors.

This year’s sponsors included Carl Black GMC Roswell, Synovus, Bob Hagan Family Foundation, WellStar North Fulton Hospital and TechniPower.

Young said most Memorial Day ceremonies tend to focus on WWII veterans, but Vietnam Veterans should not be forgotten.

He added that the numbers and names on the Vietnam Veterans War Memorial in Washington, D.C. are harrowing.

The largest age group represented on the wall is 18-year-olds, Young said. The names also include three father and son pairs as well as eight women, he added.

“The most casualties in a single day

was on Jan. 31, 1968 — 245 deaths,” Young said. “The most casualties deaths for a single month was May 1968 — 2,418 casualties. For most Americans who read this, they will only see the numbers that the Vietnam War created.

To those who survived the war, and to the families of those who did not, we see those faces, and we feel the pain those numbers created.

“They were our friends, fathers, husbands, wives, sons and daughters. And it points to the fact that there are no noble wars, just noble warriors.”

Four local golf teams secure state titles Johns Creek sweeps Class 6A competition

By JOE PARKER joe@appenmediagroup.com GEORGIA — Four North Fulton and Forsyth County high school golf teams earned state titles May 20-21 at courses throughout the state. Johns Creek’s girls and boys teams swept the Class 6A titles, and two Forsyth County teams, the West Forsyth boys and Lambert girls, secured 7A championships. Three local golfers also captured low medalist accolades.

The Johns Creek boys continued their dominance in Class 6A with the program’s fourth straight state championship. The Gladiators bested Creekview by 26 strokes at Woodmont Golf and Country Club in Canton, with five of their six golfers placing in the top 10.

Andy Mao led Johns Creek with an 8-under-par 64 in the first round and shot four under par in the second round to best teammate and state runner-up Bruce Murphy by nine strokes. Murphy was three-under par for the tournament.

Deven Patel tied for third at one under par with Jake Calamaro and Preston Topper finishing even after two rounds.

Chandler Drake was 17 over par and tied for 52nd.

Delivery: Continued from Page 8 cur when I threw a route for a couple days. My brain changed — literally.

My memory would, like magic, improve dramatically. And it’s not like I went from pre-dementia or anything to semi-normal. I went from more or less normal to something akin to memory on steroids. I mean, everything became retrievable. Every time I needed to remember something, it came to me, instead of ending on “I just can’t quite remember, I’m sure it will come.”

At first I attributed it to some sort of fluke, but later, after repeated amazing feats of memory recall, I finally decided that whatever was going on was real — or, as my son Carl likes to say, “a thang.”

Then it occurred to me that the same thing happened — and more — when I hiked the Appalachian Trail. My memory gains were almost supernatural. But in addition, after the hike, my involuntary reflexes became lightning-

fast as opposed to “adequate.”

It almost became absurd. At one point I actually started counting the number of times I would sort of see something falling or sliding off a counter and rescue it in mid-air — with no conscious mental decision on my part — like David Carradine snatching that fly out of the air.

So I have milked that partial column enough — probably too much already. Yes I may have a couple of cures for dementia, but one is a bit harder than the other. If you want enhanced memory and lightning-fast reflexes, you’ve got to take six months off and hike the trail. If you’re OK with just getting your memory back, all you’ve got to do is call and I’ll put you on the back-up substitute list for down routes.

I’ll warn you now that the pay ain’t great, but you’ll get to have some great conversations with dead friends and you’ll be able to impress everyone at the bar when you show them how good you are at catching flies in mid-air.

You can’t make this stuff up. I promise.

Annual Flying Colors Butterfly Festival returns in June ROSWELL, Ga. — Nature lovers can experience the colorful world of butterflies, flitting around an enclosed garden this June and July at the Chattahoochee Nature Center.

The season takes flight June 1 and 2 at the 20th annual Flying Colors Butterfly Festival. The two-day festival will include butterfly gardens, live butterfly releases and other family-friendly events.

The month also opens the Butterfly Encounter. This large, enclosed greenhouse features hundreds of butterflies flitting around the native plants they eat.

It’s easy to get up close to the butterflies, and visi-

tors will have a chance to feed them using a nectar stick.

Each of the species in the encounter is native to Georgia.

The Monarch butterfly is one of the colorful species found in the Butterfly Encounter. This butterfly is the only one known to migrate each year, flying from northern America to Mexico.

It only likes to lay eggs on the milkweed plant. If there are no milkweed plants available, the butterfly will not lay its eggs, leading to population decline. Like other pollinators, such as bees, butterflies play an important role in the ecosystem.

The Butterfly Festival is June 1 and 2 and marks the opening of the Butterfly Encounter which is open daily June 3 until July 31, and is included with general admission to CNC and free to CNC members.

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.
