FCC offers tips to stop robocalls By CARSON COOK carson@appenmediagroup.com FULTON COUNTY — In 2018, Georgia ranked 11th among U.S. states for the number of consumer complaints about robocalls. Luckily for those who do not wish to receive automated calls, there are increasingly options to stop them. Anyone can register their cell phones and landlines on the national Do Not Call list at donotcall.gov or by calling 1-888-382-1222. This list, maintained by the Federal Communication Commission, is meant to stop advertisement calls. Telemarketers must remove Do Not Call numbers from their call lists and stop calling within 31 days from the date of registration. Numbers will remain on the list until the customer removes them or discontinues service. However, the Do Not Call list only applies to for-profit telemarketers. Non-profits, political organizations, pollsters, companies the consumer has given express permission and may still contact numbers on the Do Not Call list. The Do Not Call list also does not stop illegal scams. Still, there are a growing number of services designed to stop scammers. Last week, AT&T and T-Mobile announced a partnership to help identify “spoofs,” when scammers trick caller ID to make a call seem like it is coming from a more legitimate source. Other carriers offer their own services, and a quick search on any app store will yield more options. These apps may be free or paid and can be removed at any time. If you have a voice mail account, the FCC recommends setting a password for it. Otherwise, a hacker could spoof your home phone number and gain access to your voice mail. If you receive a telephone solicitation that you think violates any of the FCC rules, you can file a complaint at consumercomplaints.fcc.gov. The FCC can use this information to issue warning citations and impose fines.

Pinecrest celebrates dedication of new Lower School Building By PATRICK FOX pat@appenmediagroup.com FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. — Pinecrest Academy cut the ribbon Aug. 7 on its new 18,000-square-foot Lower School Building. School officials marked the occasion with remarks celebrating the opening and an official blessing from Fr. Matthew Kaderabek, Lower School chaplain. The new building features 13 new classrooms for grades K-5, a health clinic, chapel, an administrative suit, faculty lounge and PARC room. All funding for the project came from the school’s own community in its “Be a Part of the Story” campaign, with no state, county or archdiocese moneys, according to Charlene Dougal, the school’s director of Development. The community understood the need and all stepped up and helped to make this happen, our board, parents, grandparents, students, alumni, parents of alumni, founding families and friends of Pinecrest, Dougal said.

ratory private Catholic school, celebrated its 25th anniversary in September 2018. The anniversary included groundbreaking festivities for the new Lower School Building. Founded in 1993, Pinecrest Academy moved to the current campus in 1997, on a 53-acre plot. Modular buildings were erected to house classrooms and offices, with plans to build permanent facilities. The campus expanded to its current 68 acres, and, over the years, has added permanent middle school and high school buildings, a chapel and two gymnasiums. “It is with gratitude and great pride that I am able to take a moment to thank everyone who embraced this project and brought it to fruition,” said Mark Doxtader, chairman of the board for Pinecrest. “Today this beautiful new Lower School building stands as a symbol of what our community can accomplish when we trust all things to Christ, do the hard work, and unite as a community for the good of Pinecrest Academy our families and the students we serve.”

Cumming Police to equip officers, patrol cars with cameras BY ADAM DARBY adam@appenmediagroup.com CUMMING, Ga. — The Cumming Police Department is getting an upgrade to its video system with the purchase of new body and dash cameras for officers and their patrol vehicles. This marks the first time the department will be using body worn cameras for the prosecution of criminal cases. During their Aug. 6 work session, the Cumming City Council unanimously approved bids by Axon Enterprises Inc. for all camera purchases. This will provide
the department with 16 body cameras at $18,664 and 10 dash cameras at $25,669. With both types of cameras under the same program, Police Chief David Marsh said he hopes it will simplify the recording process. “The vehicle cameras will record at a higher resolution and will be easier to offload and access data than the previous models,” Marsh said. “Our current car cameras are older and the manufacture doesn’t support the hardware any longer, so it made sense to replace them with the same manufacturer of the body cameras so that the data can be
County officials OK plans for rehabilitation hospital amid neighbors’ concerns By CONNER EVANS newsroom@appenmediagroup.com FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. — The Forsyth County Board of Commissioners approved plans for a 74,500 square foot HealthSouth Rehabilitation Hospital facility on Sanders Road. The land was previously zoned for commercial retail operations, but the board voted to amend zoning conditions for the hospital at its Aug. 15 meeting, saying that this was a needed resource for the county. Residents of the nearby Grove Park neighborhood raised concerns about the development, asking for stronger buffers, measures to address light pollution and larger walls to keep the facility out of sight. Carl Westmoreland, an attorney representing the hospital, spoke in favor of the plans, saying that the plans had been worked out with the community over the past several months. In 2016, 109 residents had to go out of the county for the types of treatment this rehab center will provide, including
rehabilitation associated with strokes, head injuries and joint replacements, Westmoreland said. Robert Long, the vice president of economic development for the CummingForsyth County Chamber of Commerce, also spoke in favor of the center. The development will bring more than 100 jobs and a net gain of $1.4 million in property values over the next 10 years, according the chamber’s capital investment analysis. Grove Park residents wore red, just as they did for the April Planning Commission Meeting to show their opposition. Grove Park Homeowners Association board member Sharon Housley likened the development to a big box store. “It is a hard, big block building,” Housley said. “We do not want to see it at all. We do not want to see the light from it at all.” Another Grove Park resident, Scotty DuPriest, said he was not happy with the development, but he trusted his

stored and accessed in the same manner instead of running two different types of hardware/software to maintain different systems.” The purchase of new camera systems was initially approved during the city’s 2019 budget under former Police Chief Casey Tatum. When Marsh became chief July 23, he took over the purchase in hopes that it would provide “transparency” between officers and the community. The cameras will aid in documenting evidence while ultimately assisting prosecutors once cases are sent to court.
This purchase coincides with the department’s emphasis on maintaining trust with residents. “I think it’s important to provide as much documentation as possible when it comes to officers interacting with people from the community,” Marsh said. “It allows others to see our officers’ actions during their response to calls for service and provides a level of protection against complaints and lawsuits. All things considered, I believe it’s important for us to provide as much transparency around officers’ actions as possible.”
County to consider latest bid by Cumming to annex tracts BY PATRICK FOX pat@appenmediagroup.com FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. — County commissioners will continue discussion this week on one of the latest bids by the City of Cumming to annex property on its eastern border. Commissioners voted Aug. 15 to move the item to a work session scheduled for early this week. The 13.5-acre tract is only part of a recent effort by the city to incorporate property from the county. Earlier this year, Cumming succeeded in annexing 46 acres of land to accommodate its plans for a multimillion-dollar City Center. More recently, Cumming’s proposals to expand its borders have drawn more opposition from the county. At a work session held earlier this month, county commissioners voted thumbs down on the city’s effort to annex 151 acres of property, also on the eastern edge of town. That request for annexation, filed with the city July 8, originated from One Alliance Center of Atlanta. The site includes plans for a mixed-use development to the west of Market Place, with retail, office and residential elements. The proposal would increase the density by nearly half what is currently allowed under the county’s comprehensive land use plan. County Attorney Ken Jarrard said the city’s desire to allow mixed-use would be appropriate within the area, but the proposed development does not fit the county’s master plan development requirements. The county now allows a maximum of 6 units per acre in mixed-use. The
city’s paperwork suggests allowing 8.9 units per acre on those parcels west of Market Place. “It is a fairly significant density swing to bring this into city limits, should that occur,” Jarrard said at the Aug. 5 work session. Jarrard said highway business district zoning is not a suitable use for the area either, based on the county’s land use plan. State law does provide the county with the right to oppose an annexation based on several factors, including a proposed change in zoning or land use, proposed increase in density, and infrastructure demands related to the zoning change. A valid objection would have to show a substantial change in the intensity of the allowable use due to the zoning change, Jarrard said. Commission Chairwoman Laura Semanson pointed out that she would like to see the school district involve itself in the issue. “It should be a real concern of our citizens here that the impact that [this development is] going to have on the district’s schools, especially considering all of the other high-density housing units that are being proposed within the city limits and that area,” Semanson said. “We’re going to hit critical mass.” Her remarks prompted Commissioner Molly Cooper to add that the higher density will create greater draws on county services, like libraries and fire protection, yet the county will not collect a penny in impact fees from the developments. “So it’s increasing demand, but it’s decreasing the funding for the demand,” she said.

County special ed official to discuss school referrals By ADAM DARBY adam@appenmediagroup.com CUMMING, Ga. — Forsyth County Schools Assistant Director of Special Education Paul West will explain the special needs referral process in the public school system. The event, scheduled for Sept. 17, is titled “Understanding the Special Education Referral Process,” and is sponsored by Dyslexia Forsyth in partnership with the International Dyslexia Association GA and Decoding Dyslexia GA. Parents and educators are encouraged to participate in an informative discussion about the confusions involving the process and children suffering from difficulties with dyslexia in a classroom environment. West hopes to address some of the most common confusions concerning “timelines that public schools are required to follow” and the many types of support plans. “What is important is for parents to understand where to start this process, who they can contact, and what to expect along the way,” West said. “There are many ways in which we support our students with interventions and accom-
modations before a referral to special education is made. Then, when or if a referral is made, what the key similarities are and differences between special education and other types of support.” This event is one of the county’s many annual public outreach discussions to better inform the community and avoid confusion during a challenging process. The discussion will cover the different levels of support available to special needs students who experience challenges during the average school day. These include Georgia’s new Multi-Tier Systems of Support, Student Support Team, Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act addressing disability discrimination and how it applies to public education in addition to the overall referral process. “We try to make this an annual presentation whether through the school system or through Dyslexia Network of Forsyth County,” West said. “Because there is so much information and misinformation, we want our community to have an understanding of how the process work and how to ask for help.” The event is from 6 to 8 p.m. at Piney Grove Middle School in the cafeteria. The school is at 8135 Majors Road.

Continued from Page 4 county representative and Chairwoman Laura Semanson to ensure the amendments made to the zoning conditions would be enforced. Semanson said the development would be less “cumbersome” than a shopping center or other retail that could have been built on this property. “It’s lower impact in many ways,” she said. “On the whole, it is less intense than what is there currently.” County Commissioner Cindy Jones Mills said she had to take her father to
this type of rehab center two years ago and had to drive to Dahlonega and North Fulton for care, she said. “Our citizens desperately need a place like this, so they don’t have to go to other counties,” Mills said. It’s stressful enough to have that kind of sickness in your family, she said, and residents shouldn’t have to drive farther for care. Semanson proposed amendments to the zoning requirements, making the wall facing the Grove Park community solid, extending buffers and adding language requiring lights to be obscured near the neighborhood. The board approved the plans by a vote of 5-0.

Grover Corlew signs six leases at renovated Mansell Court By PATRICK FOX pat@appenmediagroup.com ALPHARETTA, Ga. — Alpharetta’s reputation as an office magnet increased recently when real estate investment management group Grover Corlew announced it has leased more than 45,000 square feet of space at the newly redeveloped Mansell Court complex. The five-building, 188,478 squarefoot office complex just west of Old Roswell Road was acquired in 2017 for $12.2 million. Florida-based Grover Corlew has transformed the once traditional singlestory office buildings into creative loft office spaces that feature new exterior façades, fresh landscaping, modern outdoor spaces, a central courtyard area, increased parking ratios and updated signage. “Mansell was a diamond in the rough when we purchased it, located in a desirable suburb of North Fulton County, but we needed to upgrade the property to meet our management and aesthetic standards,” Grover Corlew Partner Anuj Grover said. “The newly inspired spaces and updated amenities appeal to modern businesses, which is why we are experiencing such strong leasing activity.” The new tenants include: • WayPoint Systems has leased 13,877 square feet of space at 10 Mansell Court East, Suite 200. Founded in 1999, WayPoint Systems is one of the leading providers of building automation systems in the Southeast. • Carel USA has leased 10,270 square feet of space at 10 Mansell Court East, Suite 500. The company produces control technology and humidification systems for air conditioning and refrigeration.
Grover Corlew/SPECIAL
Florida-based Grover Corlew has announced it has leased 45,000 square feet of office space at its newly renovated Mansell Court office complex. The buildings feature new exterior façades, fresh landscaping, modern outdoor spaces, a central courtyard and improved parking. • Paran Homes has leased 9,063 square feet of space at 20 Mansell Court, Suite 100. The company is a regional new construction homebuilder in Atlanta, Nashville and Raleigh, N.C. • Travel Equity Partners has leased 5,559 square feet of space at 70 Mansell Court East, Suite 100. The company acquires and owns corporate travel and retail leisure travel agencies. • Urban Escape Games has renewed its lease at 20 Mansell Court, Suite 275 for 4,587 square feet. The firm is an escape game company that designs onsite team building events for business-
es, school teams, group outings, parties and more. • Resourcing Edge has leased 1,723 square feet of space at 30 Mansell Court, Suite 105. The company provides its clients long-term strategies to help control costs by managing payroll, human resources and employee benefits. “Mansell Court’s quality renovations and prime location have attracted many new tenants, raising occupancy to 92 percent,” said Heather Lamb, lead office leasing broker for Mansell Court and first vice president of Atlanta commercial real estate firm CBRE. “We are seeing
excellent leasing activity in North Fulton, with the area ranking number one or two in capturing Atlanta leasing transactions over the last seven years. An abundance of amenities, million-dollar infrastructure improvements, a robust population growth rate and a rich pool of highly educated talent will keep North Fulton’s momentum strong.” Alpharetta Economic Development Manager Matthew Thomas said the announcement speaks to the city’s continued draw for corporate employers. Aside from the strong local talent and quality of life, he said, Alpharetta features a corporate synergy not found in many markets, from Fortune 500 companies to young start-ups fostered through citysponsored programs and incentives. “We continue to work hard to cultivate that environment so that companies will want to have a presence in Alpharetta,” Thomas said. In the wake of recent major Class A office developments, like The Edison and 8000 Avalon, Alpharetta remains a hot office market. More major office buildings are in the works, like 10000 Avalon, a 10-story high rise that will include 250,000 square feet of office space, and Parkway 400, with 200,000 square feet of office space. Office buildings in the pipeline count as vacant, even though they may have tenants lined up. Even with some of the newer developments yet to be leased, Alpharetta’s office vacancy rate has remained steady. Its 10-year average office vacancy rate is 13.2 percent. This year, the vacancy rate stands at 11.8 percent, just a shade higher than the Metro Atlanta Region’s average of 11.3 percent.

The great anticipation of college football season I’m not sure there is really any stronger anticipation than the grueling month of waiting a college football fan goes through before the season kicks off. It’s like that drive home from picking up the Geoff smith Assurance Financial, family’s pizza on gsmith@lendtheway.com Friday night when you are starving and there are piping-hot pizza’s smelling up your car — except in this case, the drive lasts an entire month. Pro football fans don’t really go through the same thing. The NFL has its pre-season games, which seem to start after like one week of practices. The hardcore NFL fans at least get to reach into the box and eat a slice. Even though they are having to fumble with the box to open it, get the slice out, then close the thing to keep the heat in, all with one hand while driving with the other. Still they get to eat something. The college fan only gets stories of how the freshmen are looking. How some guys are stepping up and showing promise. There is so much turnover in college. In the NFL, you’ve had several years to see most of these guys play either on your team, or on another team.
I’m not sure there is really any stronger anticipation than the grueling month of waiting a college football fan goes through before the season kicks off. So you kind of know what to expect, save for the guys your team drafted. The college teams are filled with 18 to 22 year-olds. We have absolutely no idea what we are going to get from one kid this year as opposed to last year. They change so fast and so much. So all we get to do is smell the pepperoni, the cheese and the sauce, but we can’t touch it until we get home. I try as hard as I can this month to think about anything but college football. And I have many distractions these days. One big distraction is my 5th grade Roswell Hornet football team. My son Charlie absolutely loves football. He was asked in Sunday school to draw a picture of Jesus when he was 3 years old. The picture had Jesus wearing a Georgia Bulldog ‘G’ on his chest holding a football. When my wife saw that, she knew there was no keeping him away
Look to expand, preserve your business relationships As a small business owner, one of your top priorities should be to build and maintain relationships. How well are you doing in expanding your contact list and staying in touch with everyone? dick jones While it’s easier said Founder & President Jones Simply Sales than done to maintain and enhance relationships you have, the better you do that, the more opportunities you will have. Your business relationships should not be solely focused on your current customers, although that is certainly the best place to start. Ensuring you maintain contact with current customers, even if they aren’t transacting business with you at that time, can lead to business opportunities and referrals if done right. Proactively maintaining relationships with your suppliers is also important.
There is nothing better than calling up one of your suppliers to give them a business referral. In addition, if your relationships with your suppliers are good, they are more likely to provide you with better terms and pricing. Networking, whether it’s done at events, by phone or online, is also an important vehicle to building new relationships. Adding new contacts to your relationship list will allow you to potentially leverage their contacts into business opportunities. Maintaining relationships requires that you maintain contact. This doesn’t mean you have to meet with all of your contacts on an ongoing basis, just that you maintain contact. A phone call, voicemail, email, LinkedIn message or even sending a personal letter in the mail will help you maintain relationships. While small business owners all have a full plate in running and growing their businesses, the ones that continually build and maintain relationships are far more likely to be successful.
from football. I’ve been head coaching his tackle football team for the last two years. This year, I’m still head coaching. In reality, I have four highly qualified assistants —two of whom played in college. And they are taking much of the burden. But just because these are 5th graders, don’t think for a second that we don’t text each other multiple times a day about strategies with different players. Football is such a unique game. There is no other game that I know of where you have such a variation in the type of athlete who is on the field. The skill-sets are so incredibly different from one position to another. In most cases, there is no way an offensive lineman could be the wide-receiver and visaversa. It’s kind of a more real representation of work-life. Everyone is important to the team. I had a parent e-mail me after their son’s first year playing tackle football on our team. He is a big boy and she said he never was able to feel like an athlete until he played football. In every other sport, he struggled. But in football, he’s a stud. She said it’s done wonders for his confidence, not just in sports, but in every facet of his life. Football is such a complex sport in relation to many others. You have 11 guys, each with a specific and important
responsibility. They get into a huddle, call a play, and then line up against 11 other players to try to move a ball 10 yards. To execute it, everyone has to do their jobs. Just one breakdown and the entire play breaks down. Maybe that’s what helps make football so exciting. The continuous anticipation of each play, over and over again. No need to break it down too much. My wife is an art teacher, so we look at paintings a lot. I told her that if someone has to explain to me why a painting is good, then probably to me, it isn’t good. If I want to sit and stare at it, then to me, it is. For now, a lot of us are staring at college football. And we’ve only got a couple more weeks before we get to dive in and devour way too many slices of pizza.

‘Just rub some black salve on it and call me in the morning’ (And other phrases you won’t hear your dermatologist tell you) By Dr. Brent Taylor Premier Dermatology and Mohs Surgery of Atlanta Frequently, I field questions from patients about alternative therapies for treating the skin and specifically skin cancer. One of the most Dr. Taylor interesting treatments available is called “Black Salve” – interesting because it is not merely a placebo, but rather does have real effects. Black salve is also interesting because its history has intersected with that of allopathic medicine in ways that are important to medicine’s most advanced skin cancer treatments. Black salve has been used for decades as a way to treat growths including warts, moles and even skin cancer (but dermatologists do not recommend using it for this purpose). Black salve is a mixture of zinc chloride and Sanguinaria canadensis (aka Bloodroot), and sometimes Larrea tridentata (aka creosote bush or chaparral). But what are these three ingredients? Zinc chloride is an escharotic and tissue fixative. An eschar is a piece of dead tissue that will eventually turn black and slough off the skin. When applied to the skin, zinc chloride causes cell death and chemically fixes tissue into a relatively hard dead mass or plaque -- an “eschar.” If applied to a skin cancer, zinc chloride may kill the cancer, but the zinc chloride may also damage surrounding tissue. Zinc chloride is non-specific, damaging both unhealthy and healthy tissue that it contacts. Numerous case reports exist in the medical literature of people applying zinc chloride paste only to have a cancer come back worse or metastasize. Application of this paste has also been reported as causing severe scarring and deformity. Bloodroot is a flowering plant indigenous to eastern North America. Bloodroot gets its name from a red sap that can be harvested from the roots to dye baskets or cloth. Bloodroot also produces an ammonium-based chemical that kills animal cells and that is an escharotic, similar to zinc chloride. Creosote or chaparral is a desert plant whose extracts include certain compounds touted as having antioxidant properties. Chaparral is listed in the FDA’s poisonous plant database where its entry states that it has caused liver injury and even fulminant hepatic failure requiring a liver transplant. An interesting intersection of black salve with allopathic medicine is that Dr. Frederick Mohs used a compound combining zinc chloride, antimony trisulfide
and bloodroot as a “chemopaste” that was instrumental in helping him to develop “Mohs surgery” – the skin cancer treatment that bears his name and is now the most effective, precise and advanced method for treating skin cancer. Developed in the 1930s, Mohs’ chemopaste allowed him to harden and fix a skin cancer and a small area of surrounding skin. He then would remove that area, slice it thinly and examine it under the microscope to make sure that the margins were clear of tumor. When cancer was still present at an edge, he would remove more skin from the patient and again examine it under the microscope until all the cancer had been removed. The chemopaste was often applied the night before surgery, was very painful and caused substantial damage to surrounding tissue. Mohs’ method of using chemopaste and examining tissue under the microscope was imperfect, but it was certainly better than alternative methods of skin cancer removal available at the time. By the late 1970s, machines that could freeze tissue and allow it to be cut with precision and without the use of this chemopaste became available, making the chemopaste obsolete. Modern Mohs surgery involves numbing a skin cancer and the surrounding skin with lidocaine, removing the visible tumor and a small margin, checking the edges for tumor and repeating this process until all microscopically visible cancer has been removed. Modern Mohs surgery results in a 99% cure rate for most skin cancers, and suturing and repair techniques are so refined that deformity is extremely rare and in most cases minimal scarring occurs. Black salve’s cousin “Mohs’ chemopaste” played an important role in the development of Mohs surgery. Patients inclined toward naturopathic remedies should not feel that choosing Mohs surgery over black salve is a rejection of their holistic worldview. Rather, modern medicine and evidence-guided physicians honor the natural world when we acknowledge the astounding number of modern treatments derived from nature and guide our patients toward therapies that offer the greatest chance to heal. Black salve should not be viewed as an alternative to Mohs surgery but rather as an important historical stepping stone to this incredibly effective surgical technique. If you or a loved one has skin cancer, consider Premier Dermatology and Mohs Surgery of Atlanta. Dr. Brent Taylor is a board certified dermatologist, vein specialist, and fellowship-trained Mohs surgeon. He and his outstanding team take pride in providing personalized, caring and state-of-the-art treatment.

Let’s talk aging and bladder control While it is normal to feel uncomfortable or embarrassed discussing bladder issues such as incontinence, it is important to understand just how common these problems are for aging women. The involuntary loss or leaking of urine is a common syndrome that affects at least 1 in 3 older women, according to the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA). Symptoms may range from minor issues such as slight bladder leaks to the need for the protection of an adult diaper to prevent the complete and sudden loss of bladder control. Chief of Surgery for Emory University Hospital and Division Director for Female Pelvic Medicine and Reconstructive Surgery, Gina Northington, MD, PhD informs her patients that while common, “Bladder leakage is NOT normal aging. There are often functional problems of the nerves and muscles within the pelvic floor that can be treated to improve bladder control.” Sana Ansari, MD who treats patients at both Emory Johns Creek Hospital and Emory Saint Joseph’s Hospital agrees, “No matter the severity of the urinary
incontinence, if the incontinence is affecting your life and relationships in any way, then it’s time to take control and do something more about it.” Knowing the various types of urinary incontinence can help you have a discussion with your doctor and ultimately identify the appropriate treatment plan for you: • Stress incontinence: leaking of urine when laughing, coughing, or lifting, which is usually caused by weakened pelvic muscles. • Urgency incontinence: the sudden need to urinate that results in large amounts of urine leaking out before getting to the bathroom. • Overflow incontinence: when urine leaks because the bladder has become overly full or doesn't empty all the way. • Functional incontinence: the natural urge to urinate, but taking too long to get to the bathroom - this can be especially common for those living with arthritis or another type of physical disability. • Mixed incontinence: having a combination of any of the above types of urinary incontinence – this is very common in aging and older women.

They can help bring up topics or questions you may forget to ask. These support persons can also remind you of things the health care provider said after you leave your appointment. • Be candid. Your provider wants to know everything you're experiencing. Feel free to discuss your symptoms and how they are impacting your daily life. Please make an appointment with one of our Female Pelvic Medicine and Reconstructive Surgery providers to discuss your bladder treatment options today.

OPINION
ForsythHerald.com | Forsyth Herald | August 22, 2019 | 17
What I’ve learned (in movies) from Appen By CONNER EVANS newsroom@appenmediagroup.com This is my last week at Appen Media this summer. I’ve spent two summers here, gaining experience, meeting great people and getting my own podcast (check out The Re-readables!) Some of my favorite memories here are the times when our office would break from the news to talk about other stuff, especially movies. My coworkers enjoyed giving me older movie suggestions, because I was the youngest person in the office. We even had a week where Pat Fox, our managing editor, Carson Cook, our Johns Creek reporter, and I spent an unnecessary amount of time making lists of our favorite movies. So, here are my three favorite recommendations from each of my cinephile coworkers, and what they told me about these people and me. Daniel Milana: “Dazed and Confused” Daniel, our podcast producer, recommended I watch “Dazed and Confused,” which we agree is one of the best high school movies ever made. It’s a movie set in the ’70s, made in the ’90s that speaks to Daniel, almost 30, and me, not yet 21. There are a lot of high school movies for every generation, but few that can feel personal to all those different generations. Even though “Dazed” is set in 1976, it felt like one of the more modern depictions of how different groups of students

interact in high school. Everyone knows everyone in this small Texas town, Matthew McConaughey is hanging around everywhere and cliques aren’t strictly demarcated. It creates a type of nostalgia for a time when the next day didn’t matter. I’ll never drive a station wagon with wood paneling, but it makes me miss a time when every event felt bigger and more impactful than the last, even the ones I’ve already forgotten. It binds generations, because high schoolers will never stop being anxious about their futures, while living only for the present and being lost in reminiscing last weekend’s adventures. Pat Fox: “The French Connection” When I told Pat that I had finally watched this Gene Hackman classic, the first thing he said to me was basically, “That is a freaking crazy movie,” with the biggest smile I saw on his face all summer. The visceral reaction that both Pat and I get from watching Hackman blare his horn and chase down a train for 10 minutes straight on screen brought us closer together. In that moment, I understood Pat a little better. Pat doesn’t really like “Star Wars” or John Williams or things made in the 21st century. He talks affectionately about the transformation of actors over the course of a movie, lengthy World War II dramas, under-appreciated slow-burns. But we both enjoy “The French Connection” on the same level as a 12-year-old boy watching stuff blow

up in space, which is, “Wow, Hackman is a lunatic in this movie, and I’m here for every second of it.” Carson Cook: “Roman Holiday” Carson probably gives me the hardest time of anyone in the office, particularly about how I watch movies and which ones I choose to watch. She’s ribbed me for my fascination with a few foreign films this summer and my inability to match her poptimism at the movies. I was also bad at taking her suggestions, forcing her to lend me her DVD of “Roman Holiday.” “Roman Holiday” is quite good, better than I expected. It’s a classic Hollywood romantic comedy, and the couple doesn’t even live happily ever after. Audrey Hepburn and Gregory Peck just have a brief interlude together, interrupting her life as royalty and his life
as a reporter. Of course, he falls in love, and, maybe, so does she, but they still have to resume their lives. More than anything, it’s a charming movie, and most of Carson’s favorites list was filled with self-described charm. And, perhaps what “Roman Holiday” showed me is that I undervalue charm. My obsession with how movies and music are received critically often causes Carson to jokingly label me an “elitist” or a “snob.” I feel these titles are unfair, but her point stands that perhaps sometimes I don’t hold in high enough regard the films that just make me feel warm and accepted and full. This summer, I was filled with high school nostalgia and thrilled by car chases and ultimately won over by these movies and by these people.
