Commissioners reappoint assessor in face of North Fulton opposition

By CARSON COOK carson@appenmediagroup.com FULTON COUNTY, Ga. — In the wake of strong opposition from its North Fulton contingent, the Fulton County Commission reappointed Board of Assessors Chair Salma Ahmed to another four-year term May 1.

The 4-3 vote occurred after commissioners failed to approve a second nominee proposed by North Fulton elected officials, and in a last-minute add-on item confirmed the reappointment of the sitting chair.

The Board of Assessors is responsible for determining the fair market value of real estate in the county and preparing the annual tax digest.

The board has come under fire recently for issuing digests riddled with inaccuracies, failure to keep assessments in line with increasing values, the critical findings of the State Department of Revenue review in 2017 and a lawsuit accusing assessors of sales chasing.

For these reasons, Commissioner Bob Ellis said, he thought it was time for new leadership on the Board of Assessors. In February, Ellis nominated Alpharetta attorney Ken Zdrok to replace real estate developer Ahmed upon the completion of her four-year term in July.

“Not all of this rests on every member of the Board of Assessors, but governance matters,” Ellis said. “During the time this nominee was on here, it’s not good by any stretch of the imagination.

Every one of the members from that time is gone with the exception of this one.”

Zdrok’s nomination came before the commission three times and each time failed, with commissioners Liz Hausmann and Lee Morris joining Ellis in support and commissioners Robb Pitts, Marvin Arrington and Natalie Hall not casting a vote.

Commissioner Emma Darnell was absent each time the matter was considered.

After Ellis’s nomination failed, on April 17, Arrington nominated Pamela J. Smith to the South Fulton post. Ellis

and Hausmann said they deliberated whether to support the nomination after the “disrespect” shown to the North Fulton nominee, but ultimately voted in favor of Smith.

At the May 1 meeting, Hausmann put forward her own nominee, commercial appraiser Ed Mitchell. Like Zdrok, Mitchell was endorsed by the Mayors of Alpharetta, Johns Creek, Milton and Roswell, Hausmann said.

The vote failed along the same lines as Zdrok, with Darnell voting against.

In an item so last-minute it did not even appear on commission’s day-of agenda, Pitts put forward an item to reappoint Ahmed for a term to end June 2023. The measure passed with Hausmann, Ellis and Morris casting votes in opposition.

“For the sake of trust in government, the folks need to be replaced,” Morris said. “Not that any individual was responsible for anything directly necessarily, but sometimes for the public to have the trust, the team needs to be removed.”

Hausmann agreed.

“If we don’t get this right, everything that we do is suspect,” she said. “Everything that we do is based on property taxes and on the evaluation of those properties … All I’m asking, all we’ve asked over, and over, and over these last few months, is that we have a board in place that we can depend on and we can trust the governance in place for the tax assessment process.”

Hausmann said the Board of Commissioners would continue to try and improve the appraisal process, for example by updating the technology appraisers use and making the website more transparent.

“We’ve done a lot of things to help address some of the shortfalls we saw a few years ago,” Hausmann said. “But again, all that is very important but the core of the process is getting the values right and that’s ultimately what the Board of Assessors is charged with.”

Hausmann also said she thinks the Board of Assessors got the message that this is something the commissioners take seriously.

Looney selected new Fulton school superintendent Former Tennessee education executive to begin work June 17

Johns Creek International Festival showcases local talent

By CARSON COOK carson@appenmediagroup.com JOHNS CREEK, Ga. — The second annual Johns Creek International Festival showcased diverse food, drinks, music and dance to more than 18,000 visitors April 27.

Organized through a partnership between the city, the Johns Creek Arts Center and the Convention and Visitor Bureau, the free event took place all day at Heisman Field.

Last year, the first International Festival saw more than 22,000 attendees from across the state.

“Many of the food and global market place vendors are local businesses or owned by residents,” CVB Executive Director Shelby Marzen said “The festival is an incredible opportunity to experience the rich cultural diversity of our city all come together for a common purpose.”

Salsa dancers, martial artists, traditional drummers, rock bands and more performed at the festival’s two stages.

The kids zone, organized by the Johns Creek Arts Center, featured crafts inspired by art styles from around the world, such as Delft tile from the Netherlands, fish kites from Japan, and Kente weaving from Ghana.

“It was really cool because the parents came and did it with the children,” Arts Center Curator Althea Foster said. “We had expected a lot of people, but we did not expect this many.”

The idea for the festival was born from a Cultural Diversity Task Force founded in 2016 to study ways to celebrate the city’s diversity.

A study by Wallet Hub found Johns Creek to be the third most diverse city in Georgia, and it ranked 11th in the nation for a city of its size and second for religious diversity out of all the cities included in the study.

With a population of more than 83,000, Johns Creek is home to a sizeable Indian, Chinese, Korean and Mexican popu-

“Our community is blessed with rich cultural diversity,” Mayor Mike Bodker stated. “In Johns Creek, with an estimated 35 percent international residents, our diversity is one of our greatest strengths … This event is an ideal way to showcase our exceptional city and to share the traditions, tastes, performances and art of our entire community.”

SCHOOLS

Open enrollment deadline set for May 15 Elementary choices abound, but capacity limits options for higher grade levels

BY CANDY WAYLOCK candy@appenmediagroup.com Parents looking for elementary school options for the child outside their zoned school will have lots of choices next year across North Fulton County.

Parents of middle and high school parents will have few options, as space and capacity limit the options.

The Fulton County School System identified 58 of the district’s 105 schools as “open enrollment” schools for the 2019-20 school year. Since 2009, state law allows parents of students enrolled in a public K-12 school to enroll in another school within the district if space allows.

Charter schools are already open enrollment and not subject to the law.

In North Fulton, 20 of the 28 traditional elementary schools are participating in open enrollment next year. The choice for middle school transfers is limited to Holcomb Bridge Middle in Roswell.

At the high school level, only Northview High School in Johns Creek and Centennial High in Roswell can accept transfer students; all other North Fulton high schools are projected to be at or above instructional capacity.

Available schools The following elementary schools are available for Open Enrollment in North Fulton: • Mountain Park • Abbotts Hill • Ocee • Barnwell • River Eves • Birmingham Falls • Roswell North • Dolvin • Shakerag • Esther Jackson • State Bridge Crossing • Findley Oaks • Summit Hill • Hembree Springs • Sweet Apple • Hillside • Vickery Mill • Medlock Bridge • Wilson Creek • Mimosa Applications for transfer under open enrollment are due May 15 by 4:30 p.m. Parents will be notified of their child’s status by June 30, according to Fulton School officials. Applications are available online at the Open Enrollment page for the Student Assignment Office at www.fultonschools.org.

Once accepted, the student may remain at that school through all grade levels, for example through fifth grade, eighth grade and 12th grade, as long as attendance requirements are met. If accepted, parents agree to provide transportation to the school of choice.

Selection is made based on lottery if applications exceed space, and siblings are not guaranteed placement, according to school officials.

Local baseball squads advance to quarterfinals

By JOE PARKER joe@appenmediagroup.com NORTH FULTON/FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. — Seven local baseball teams continued play in the second round of the postseason May 1-3.

Milton drops decisive Game 3 to Mill Creek (7-8, 5-1, 11-0): Milton’s successful 2019 season ended May 2 with the Eagles dropping their decisive Game 3 against Mill Creek.

The Eagles struggled in the do-ordie contest. Milton pitchers combined to throw five walks, and the Eagles had multiple errors and were held to one hit.

The Hawks opened an early lead and piled on runs to end the game after five innings on the run rule.

Milton won Game 1 in dramatic fashion with a comeback and walk-off double.

In that contest, Mill Creek led 7-6 entering the bottom of the sixth before a Stephen Michaels RBI double tied the score. Curt McDonell reached base after being hit by a pitch on a full count offering in the seventh inning. Logan Jones earned the walk-off win with a double to right field to score McDonell and give the Eagles the early series advantage.

Brandon Concevitch earned the win in relief, allowing three hits and two earned runs with five strikeouts in two innings. Milton’s offense was led by home runs from Kristian Campbell and Mitch Landon and two-RBI performances from Michaels and Jones.

Game 2 was tight through five innings, but the Hawks broke a 1-1 stalemate in the bottom of the sixth with four runs to power their 5-1 win.

Milton starter Cole Stupp had a strong performance through five innings but was pulled after giving up a walk and two singles to start the sixth. A throwing error by Stupp on a bunt allowed two runs to score to give the Hawks a 3-1 lead. Mill Creek added two more runs in the inning with two walks and a base hit.

The Eagles were held to just four hits in the contest and were held to a single run on a hit batter with the bases loaded.

Forsyth Central falls to North Gwinnett (10-2, 8-6): Forsyth Central’s playoff run ended in the second round with Central dropping both games of a May 2 doubleheader to North Gwinnett.

Central led early in Game 1 behind a Mitchell Gross home run in the first inning but were held scoreless until a Jonathan Bergmoser RBI in the seventh.

After a slow offensive start, North Gwinnett lit up the scoreboard with three runs in the third, fourth and fifth innings behind 12 hits, including four doubles and a home run.

Central’s Jacob Ryan was the losing pitcher, allowing 11 hits and nine earned runs in five innings. Jake Hill allowed one hit in one inning on the mound.

Central led early again in Game 2 with three runs in the bottom of the second behind two walks, a North Gwinnett BACKGROUND error and RBI singles from Ryan and AJ Fiechter. North Gwinnett responded quickly with three runs in the third.

Central reclaimed the lead in the fourth inning with four hits, including two doubles, but North Gwinnett added two runs in the fifth to lead 7-6. North Gwinnett added an insurance run in the seventh and secured the win with six straight outs.

Central compiled an 18-11 overall record this season.

North Forsyth swept by Parkview (8-6, 13-0): Defending state champions Parkview eliminated North Forsyth May 2 by sweeping the Raiders in a doubleheader.

Despite outhitting the Panthers 14-8 in Game 1, Parkview plated five runs in the fifth inning to take the lead and the Raiders’ comeback in the seventh fell short.

North put together five hits, including RBIs from Tyler Triche and Charlie Aiken, in the top of the fifth to take a 5-3 lead. The Panthers responded quickly with a two-run double and three-run home run in the fifth to reclaim the lead.

Down to their final three outs, the Raiders’ Holton Payne hit a lead-off home run. After a Parkview error, Triche became the potential tying run and reached on a single. However, a strikeout and putout ended the Raiders’ comeback bid.

Anthony DiMola threw a complete game for North, allowing eight hits, seven earned runs and two home runs with four strikeouts.

After a tight Game 1, Parkview earned a decisive, 13-0 win over North in the second game of the doubleheader.

Parkview opened Game 2 with backto-back home runs and added five runs in the second inning on four singles and another home run.

The Panthers plated six more runs and held North to just two hits in the five inning, run-rule shortened contest.

North Forsyth compiled an 18-14 overall record this season and won their first playoff series in three seasons.

Senior women’s group entertains retirement homes

By CARSON COOK carson@appenmediagroup.com GEORGIA — When looking for live entertainment in the Atlanta suburbs, one usually thinks of the high school drama departments or the handful of professional groups, but there is a group of women over 60 that has been entertaining for decades.

The Dazzlin’ Dames is a group of senior women who put on a Vaudevillestyle show, performing at churches, retirement homes and theatres around the state.

The group was originally formed by contestants in the Ms. Senior Georgia pageant, as a way for participants to keep in touch throughout the year.

“People said there was a need for getting out and entertaining folks who are in these facilities,” said Carolynn Wilson, a 10-year member of the performing group. “The ladies just decided to get together and do it.”

The Dazzlin’ Dames put on around 30 shows a year, Wilson said. The shows typically run about an hour, with a mix of singing, dancing and comedy acts.

“Every show is a little different,” said Wilson.

Wilson said she was never on a stage

They still get out there and dance and sing. And they’re something else.

They are fabulous.”

until she first participated in the pageant when she turned 60.

“I felt that I had no talent, but I had a good time,” Wilson said. “I just love making people laugh.”

To be a part of the Dazzlin’ Dames, you must have participated in the pageant and be 60 or older. The oldest members are 91.

“They still get out there and dance and sing,” Wilson said. “And they’re something else. They are fabulous.”

The best part of being a Dazzlin’ Dame is the friendships formed, Wilson said. She also loves bringing smiles to the faces in the audience.

“It makes us smile,” Wilson said. “It

LEFT LANE REVIEWS

The grown-up of the group 2019 Hyundai Accent

Manufacture a car or crossover with a price tag under $20,000 these days and it seems almost obligatory the sales team will market it as a vibrant, fun choice for under 30s. For evidence, look no farther than Kia’s ad department using punchy electronic music and dancing hamsters, for some reason, to market its funky-styled Soul.

It makes sense to market cars to JOE PARKER the younger crowd in such a price Reporter joe@appenmediagroup.com range. After all, most under 30s, me included, are saddled with student loan debt so extensive it rivals the national deficit.

But Hyundai does not seem to have taken the cue that it needs to appeal to a younger crowd with its subcompact sedan. In fact, its Accent is assuredly the adult in the subcompact group.

Though the Accent starts at $15,000 and my topof-the-range tester just crossed the $20,000 mark, the Hyundai is not a gimmicky attempt of the suits to appeal to the shirts.

For starters, it doesn’t sport orange trim or funky geometric styling. Rather, with its chrome cascade grille and predictable but attractive lines, the Accent is simple but handsome. The interior styling is also subdued and straightforward, but not overly boring. Hyundai’s infotainment system is intuitive, and the Accent

provides a welcome mixture of touchscreen functions and analog inputs on the dash and steering wheel.

The Accent is also a sensible choice when it comes to interior and cargo room.

While the rear seats are on the slightly cramped side of things for adults, the 13.7-cubic feet of trunk space provides enough storage for most everyday needs. If more space is needed, the 60/40 rear seats are easily folded. Interior storage is supplemented with cubby areas in all four doors and a sizeable area in the center console.

At its price point, the Accent provides a prudent number of features as standard.

The base SE trim with a 6-speed manual transmission starts at $14,995 with a 6-speed auto adding a grand to the price tag. The SE comes standard with a rearview camera, LATCH connections for the rear seats, Bluetooth, keyless entry, USB and auxiliary ports and a 5-inch infotainment screen.

Above the mid-range SEL trim is the Limited ($19,080), which adds safety features in the form of forward collision avoidance, LED front and rear lights, a sunroof, heated front seats and a 7-inch touchscreen, Android Auto and Apple CarPlay connectivity and other amenities.

All trims come with a 1.6-liter engine and frontwheel drive. The four-cylinder provides 130-horsepower and is slow to respond to the right pedal when called upon, though it does make a lot of noise. The 1.6-liter needs a long run to get up to highway speeds but is

well-suited for traversing urban areas. Driving along the interstate and inner-city gives the Accent 32 combined mpg.

Shifts are noticeable when the transmission decides to change gear, especially down a cog, but otherwise the Accent’s ride is fairly calm, collected and comfortable.

Being the adult of the subcompact group, the Accent seems far more suited for the daily commute than a sporty feel, but effortless and accurate steering makes for a peppy performance through switchbacks with some feel from the steering and brakes.

The Accent may not be the most exciting choice in the subcompact market, but it is a practical option for those who don’t need a bevy of thrills and frills. You know, like a grown-up.

We picked Roswell on purpose ... We’re blown away by the community, the resources here, and all of the other amazing business here to network with and grow.”

Roswell hosts first Veteran Business Expo of Georgia Appen Media Group acquires Dunwoody Crier newspaper

By JULIA GROCHOWSKI julia@appenmediagroup.com

ROSWELL, Ga. — Close to 200 veteran business professionals and veteranowned businesses flocked to the Country Club of Roswell on April 30 for the first Veteran Business Expo of Georgia.

The expo allowed veterans who own businesses, entrepreneurs and corporate purchasing professionals to gather for a reverse trade show and matchmaking event.

The expo is the brainchild of the National Veteran Supplier Diversity Coalition, a nonprofit that supports veteran-owned businesses, in partnership with Roswell Inc, the city’s economic development arm.

Brent Moeller, events director for the coalition, said the idea for the expo was born out of frustration with existing trade shows for veterans. He, along with other veterans, had traveled across the country for such events and wanted to see something more engaging in Georgia.

“What we saw was a real frustration on the side of the exhibitors,” Moeller said. “They were trying to get in front of more veterans, and veteran business owners like ourselves were trying to get in front of more companies who want to buy from veterans.”

Many of these trade shows, Moeller said, were open to the general public and tended not to result in fruitful matchups.

To fix the problem, Moeller said he and his group decided to create their own trade show.

“These companies who we’re partnering with for the expo are really focused on veteran-supplier diversity,” he said.

“They’re passionate about giving veterans more opportunities.”

Moeller added that choosing Roswell was a no-brainer.

The Georgia Department of Administrative Services was one of more than 30 exhibitors at the Veteran Business Expo of Georgia held April 30 in Roswell.

“We picked Roswell on purpose, even when we started our own business,” Moeller said. “It’s specifically because of what an awesome place it is to do business… We’re blown away by the community, the resources here, and all of the other amazing business here to network with and grow.”

The signature aspect of the first Veteran Expo of Georgia was its one-on-one matchmaking, where veteran business owners sat down with corporate buyers and government procurement officers to pitch their products and services. Appointments were 15 minutes each in a roundrobin style. The format beforehand after organizers screened and researched the best fit for the businesses and veterans.

It was an opportunity for veterans to pitch their company or ideas to prospective clients.

Matching up the businesses to the veterans before the expo was key to the program’s success, said Jack Ryan, event organizer and Southeast sales director for TMG Contracts.

“It helped people get off on the right foot,” Ryan said. “Hopefully, it helped more people get business out of it and helped them feel that they were being put to more use than some of the other trade shows that we’ve been to.”

More than 30 exhibitors attended the inaugural Veteran Expo of Georgia, with Lockheed Martin as the title sponsor and SAS Software as the partner sponsor.

Moeller said the group plans to host more conferences and expos, including in areas outside of Roswell, such as Texas and Atlanta. Between events, the National Veteran Supplier Diversity Coalition will continue to be a year-round resource for companies to find veteranowned businesses through job listings.

“Our passion is to see these veteranowned businesses be wildly successful, and we want to do it in a way that’s mutually beneficial for other companies,” said Jon Bass, outreach officer for the coalition.

ALPHARETTA, Ga. — Appen Media Group announced April 19 that it has acquired the Dunwoody Crier weekly newspaper from its publisher Dick Williams. “[I] could not be more excited,” said Appen Media Group General Manager Hans Appen. “It is a rare opportunity to take on a publication as rich in history and as important to the community as the Crier is. We have big shoes to fill, but I think we are up to the task.”

Dunwoody Crier General Manager Jim Heart will join the staff of Appen Media Group, which publishes the weekly Herald newspapers in North Fulton and South Forsyth as well as the monthly Northside Woman and quarterly Answer Books.

“The Crier will continue to serve Dunwoody under the leadership of longtime General Manager Jim Hart and with the additional resources of AMG and the Herald newspapers,” Williams said. “Our veteran reporters will continue their work.”

Appen said the acquisition just made sense.

“There are a lot of synergies between our Herald newspapers and

Knowing your customers is key to business success As a small business owner, how well do you know your customers? What do you do each and every day to better know your customers? Successful small businesses will cite that the key to their dick jones ongoing success is Founder & President Jones Simply Sales that they understand what their customers want and need. How are you facilitating this process in your small business?

Knowing what your customers want should be a main driver of what you provide, and how you provide it. The phrase “build it and they will come” is not a tag line, it’s actually a recipe for ongoing success. There are many ways to facilitate this process.

First and foremost is talking with your customers. This can be done formally by

conducting focus groups or interviewing customers, or done informally by simply talking with customers when they are transacting business with you. Capturing information about what your customers want is only half of the equation. Actually delivering what they want is the hard part.

Small businesses that possess this information and knowledge use it to develop products and services knowing that they already have a market of buyers. Subsequently, they have a much better success rate in attracting and retaining customers.

Often times, small business owners spend their time on everything else other than getting to know their customers.

Conversely, successful small businesses will cite that their knowledge about their customers is their most priceless asset for managing and growing their business. Knowing your customers should always be at the top of your to-do list if you own and run a small business.

Appen Media Group is taking over operations of the Dunwoody Crier weekly newspaper.

Crier: Continued from Page 20 the Crier,” Appen said. “We have similar markets for readers, advertisers and are, frankly, right down Ga. 400 from our building. Our approach and commitment to community journalism is similar, and they were also family owned.”

Appen Media Group plans to continue publishing the Dunwoody Crier in its current format with its existing 18,000 circulation.

Not much will change for the time being, Appen said.

The page size of the Dunwoody Crier will go down about two inches starting the first week of June in order to be

consistent with the size of the Herald newspapers.

“Other than that, and some new news content and advertisers, we will rely on feedback from the community on what they would like to see changed in the future,” Appen said.

Terms for the private acquisition are not being released.

“The Crier has long been the heart of our community,” said Kathy Manos Penn, staff writer for the Dunwoody Crier. “Its stories about all things Dunwoody — our nature center, our parks, our high school sports teams, our theatre and more — connect us as a community. Everyone I encountered out and about was in mourning over the Crier’s demise, and there is now a palpable sense of joy over its return.”

Innovative thinking turns parking lots into soccer fields It’s fun to watch what happens when a group of folks stop looking at the horizon and start noticing what’s going on all around them.

In terms of building and Geoff smith development, for Assurance Financial, gsmith@lendtheway.com decades, it was all about bigger and further. Builders looked to the suburbs for less expensive, large swaths of land to build expansive swim and tennis communities. We finally started to build up against the limit to which people were willing to commute for work, so folks started to go back to the epicenter that is in-town Atlanta, and re-examine what is already there. What has sprung out of that includes such interesting things as Ponce City Market, the Beltline and the Old Fourth Ward. Suburban downtown centers have been recreated from old buildings in Buford and on Canton Street in Roswell. I always enjoy watching a really good architect take a really old building and turn it into something useful and impactful again.

What I have equally enjoyed watching is how designers and planners have taken some of our more industrial infrastructure that was built during our sprawl and turned it into something that adds to the community, instead of detracts.

In Roswell where I live, there was an area where the Chattahoochee River ran underneath Ga. 400. Growing up, it was just an unattractive part of the river where massive square columns rose out of the water to hold up the loud bridge. But about 20 years or so ago, someone had the smart idea to turn it into a city park called Don White Memorial Park. Today there is a parking lot there where folks can park, enjoy the view and access the Roswell Riverwalk trail system. The columns are still there. And I’ve heard talk from folks who want to hire artists to paint them or install rock-climbing holds. I’m not sure how the Georgia DOT feels about either of those ideas, but it’s exciting to hear people try to reimagine those large, industrial columns.

About the time Keith Parker was named CEO of MARTA, that organiza-

tion went from one of utility, to community. They started to take a second look at their stations and infrastructure and expanded their thought pattern from a narrow focus of just moving people to trying to work themselves more into the fabric of the communities they were in. MARTA partnered with municipal leaders and developers to build TOD’s — Transit-OrientedDevelopments. And several mixed-use projects are underway that are incorporating existing MARTA stations into their designs.

This type of thinking also led them to create partnerships with several soccer organizations around town, including Atlanta United, to build soccer fields in and around their stations.

Two fields are finished and in use at the Five Points and West End stations, and a third is under construction at the East Point station. A league has been created around the fields called StationSoccer, run by an organization called Soccer in the Streets. These fields are open to the public and can be reserved online. Soccer in the Streets uses soccer as an outlet to reach out to youths and groom them to be future leaders. This particular project, like many in Atlanta, has received national attention as a first of its kind.

They say necessity is the mother of invention. And that has been on display as smart people in and around Atlanta have repurposed old buildings and lifeless infrastructures. As more and more people move to Atlanta every year, we will have to get more creative about where to put them. And as land continues to get more and more scarce, thus more and more expensive, affordable housing will become more of an important issue. The Atlanta Metro area is filled with smart solutions right now and it will be fun to see what we can come up with next.

Innovation Academy officials begin ‘marketing’ phase for new students New STEM high school set to open in in 2020

By CANDY WAYLOCK Candy@appenmediagroup.com NORTH FULTON, Ga. - Steel girders are going up and concrete is being poured as Innovation Academy high school takes structural shape in downtown Alpharetta where old Milton High School once stood.

As they eye the August 2020 opening for the STEM-based school, Fulton School System officials now shift their attention to elements inside the building, primarily marketing the unique approach for learning to prospective students. “[Innovation Academy] is for the student who seeks a different high school experience to develop tangible skills to take into the workplace,” said Doannie Tran, PhD., assistant superintendent for Innovative Programs.

“The school offers a creative, collaborative setting to solve problems in an authentic setting so students are fully prepared for the workforce of the future.”

The STEM-concept school is a departure from the traditional high school setting and will likely appeal to the student who seeks a deeper dive into the fields

of science, technology, engineering and math, Tran noted.

The curriculum aligns with “design thinking,” a problem-solving process where students define the problem, generate alternatives, choose a solution, implement the solution, and learn from the process. Tran said an integrated curriculum means concepts will be addressed across all courses.

The school is organized around three learning paths — healthcare sciences, information technology, and engineering — which are among the fastest growing industries across the globe.

The district is creating partnerships with area businesses and corporations to support Innovation Academy through resources, information, internships, professional development and other avenues, noted Cliff Jones, chief academic officer for Fulton Schools.

“Our expectation is these partners will help support authentic learning experiences through real life case studies and projects that immerse the student in the [subject],” Jones said.

Innovation Academy will meet all district and state requirements for graduation but will not offer GHSA athletics programs, or the extensive menu of extracurricular activities found at traditional high schools.

See SCHOOL, Page 34

Tim Duncan appointed principal Tim Duncan, the longtime principal at Chattahoochee High School, has been appointed by the Fulton County Board of Education to be the first principal at the Innovation Academy.

Duncan will assume full responsibility of the new school at the end of this school year, and he will spend the next year preparing the school, staff and prospective students for the school’s opening in August 2020.

Chief Academic Officer Clifford Jones said Duncan was DUNCAN a natural fit for the high-profile position, bringing with him a long career as an educator, administrator and principal in the Fulton School System.

“I am excited about the depth of leadership he brings to Innovative Academy,” said Jones, citing Duncan’s resume which includes Principal of the Year in Fulton Schools. “He has been a part of this project from the beginning and is very excited to have a part in building the program.”

He noted Duncan was instrumental in creating a STEM-based curriculum at Chattahoochee, collecting multiple awards for the school along the way. At a higher level, Duncan has attended extensive training on the “design thinking” model which will serve as the curriculum base for Innovation Academy.

Duncan has been the principal of Chattahoochee High School since 2003, except for a three-year gap in 2015-2018 when he served as the district’s director of Capital Programs and Academics. Duncan received his bachelor’s, master’s and specialist degrees from the University of Georgia.

In the coming months, Duncan will be hiring the support staff, teacher leaders and other key positions to prepare for the August opening.

Snoozing in the dental chair New treatment offers hope for the dental phobic

By Dr. Ushma Patel, D.M.D and Dr. Brittany Corbett, D.D.S Center For Advanced Dentistry Millions of Americans avoid the dentist. Some had traumatic experiences as children. Others suffered pain as adults.

No matter the reason, far too many of these individuals simply stopped seeking routine dental care because they were frightened. Now’s the time to move forward into a healthier future. Modern dentistry offers many new tools and options that make necessary treatments not only tolerable but even comfortable.

Now there’s a new way for the dentally challenged to get their needed treatment without having to go through all the fear and anxiety. And, what’s more, they likely won’t even remember going to the dentist.

It’s called “Sedation Dentistry” and is available right now at our dental office. Not all dentists are qualified or

licensed to use this option. Approximately 1 in 8 dentists in Georgia is licensed to do Sedation.

“The way it works is quite simple,” says Dr. Ushma Patel. “One hour before the appointment the patient simply takes a pill that we have dispensed to them. By the time they arrive, they are very relaxed.”

The patient is then escorted to the dental chair. They gradually progress to a deeper level of sedation but are still able to respond to their environment and to questions from the doctor. Dr. Patel explains, “The patient will feel no pain and in fact will have little or no memory of the experience after it’s all over.”

The patient’s vital signs are constantly monitored throughout the treatment. “When they awaken a friend drives them home and in an hour or so they are pretty much back to normal,” says Dr. Patel. “The best part is that they have no bad memories, and they don’t experience any pain or anxiety.”

Erosion: What you eat and drink can impact teeth

By Dr. David Remaley Roswell Dental Care Think that only sweet-tasting drinks and snacks are harmful for your teeth? Think again.

Sugar isn’t the only dietary factor that can Dr. REMALEY damage your smile.

Foods and beverages that are high in acids wear away the enamel that protects your teeth, a process known as tooth erosion. This changes the appearance of your teeth and opens the door for bacteria that can cause cavities or infection.

What does tooth erosion do to my teeth?

Tooth erosion is permanent. If your enamel has started to wear away, you may: • Feel pain or sensitivity when consuming hot, cold or sweet drinks • Notice a yellowish discoloration of the teeth • Find that your fillings have changed • Face greater risks for more cavities over time • Develop an abscess, in very extreme cases • Experience tooth loss, also in very extreme cases • Once erosion occurs, you may need fillings, crowns, a root canal or even tooth removal. Veneers may also be an option to restore the look of your smile.

Acidic foods and beverages to watch for Here’s a quick tip: If what you’re eating or drinking is citrus or citrusflavored, carbonated or sour, it’s best to limit how much you consume.

Nutritious, acidic foods like tomatoes and citrus fruits can have some acidic effects on tooth enamel, so eat them as part of a meal, not by themselves. Dried fruits, including raisins, can also cause problems because they are sticky and adhere to teeth, so the acids produced by cavity-causing bacteria continue to harm teeth long after you stop eating them.

Still, the major erosion culprit is soft drinks, especially soda and sports drinks.

Even if they are sugar-free, they are more likely to be acidic thanks to carbonation.

That bubbly fizz raises the acid level of any drink, regardless of its flavor.

Acid in beverages can also come from citrus flavorings such as lemon, lime and orange. Even all-natural beverages like orange juice or fresh-squeezed lemonade are higher in acid than regular water, so make them an occasional treat instead of a daily habit.

And speaking of treats, some sour candies are almost as acidic as battery acid, and many use citric acids

to get that desired effect. If you like a little sour with your sweet tooth, please pucker in moderation.

Tips for protecting your teeth You can reduce tooth erosion from what you eat and drink by following these tips: • Wait an hour before you brush after eating acidic foods to give your saliva a chance to naturally wash away acids and re-harden your enamel.

• Limit – or avoid – acidic beverages like soft drinks. If you do indulge, use a straw.

• When drinking something like a soft drink, do not swish or hold it in your mouth longer than you need to. Just sip and swallow.

• After acidic meals or beverages, rinse your mouth with water, drink milk or enjoy a snack of cheese right afterward.

• Dairy and other calcium-rich foods can help neutralize acids.

• Saliva helps keep acids under control.

To keep your saliva flowing and protecting your teeth, chew sugarless gum with the ADA Seal of Acceptance.

• Look for dental health products with the ADA Seal of Acceptance. This means the product is safe and effective, and some have been awarded the ADA Seal specifically because they help prevent and reduce enamel erosion from dietary acids.

• Talk to your dentist. Your dentist can explain the effects of nutritional choices on your teeth, including the various foods and beverages to choose and which ones to avoid. Knowing all you can about the effects of what you eat and drink on your teeth can help keep your smile bright over a lifetime.

If you think you have sleep apnea, make sure to speak with your physician or dentist for more information and possible evaluation. Roswell Dental Care offers a complete assessment of your oral health and will help establish a plan to eliminate any sleeping disorders that you might be experiencing.

Biology always surprises and is (nearly) impossible to predict

By Dr. Brent Taylor Premier Dermatology and Mohs Surgery of Atlanta In this month’s March issue of JAMA (the Journal of the American Medical Association), an interesting article apDr. Taylor peared entitled “The Surprisingly Positive Association Between Obesity and Cancer Immunotherapy Efficacy.” The article summarized recent findings that modern immune-system based anti-cancer medications sometimes work better if a patient is obese. This seems to be true in the case of melanoma in males. Obese men with melanoma exhibited increased survival on immunotherapies than non-obese men. This was not true for traditional chemotherapy.

Before we get ahead of ourselves and encourage the men in our lives to eat more and exercise less, it’s worth mentioning that other studies have found that obesity increases our risk of developing cancers in the first place. This is also true for melanoma – in one study, obese men were 31% more likely to develop melanoma than non-obese men.

The aforementioned article simply supports that obese men with a melanoma diagnosis on certain medicines may fare better than fit males with a melanoma diagnosis.

To a physician, the finding of a positive effect of obesity in cancer is even more surprising because obesity is generally thought of as an immunocompromised state. In general, obesity weakens the immune system. Why would a medicine that depends on the immune system work better in someone with an unhealthy immune system?

Perhaps the medicine does not so much depend on the immune system to work as bolster the immune system.

If a lack of a healthy immune system is part of the obese patient’s problem, then should we not have anticipated that the obese patient would experience greater benefit from an immune-bolstering therapy?

Biology is very difficult to predict one or two steps ahead. It is easy to formulate a hypothesis for why an immunebased therapy would be more effective in someone with a compromised immune system, just as it is easy to formulate a hypothesis for why such a medicine might be less effective. Perhaps immunocompromise means immune-based therapies can’t exert their maximum

effect. Or perhaps immunocompromise means immune-based therapies are even better than anticipated because they are meeting a greater need.

Regarding the melanoma case, why would obesity be helpful in men and not women for certain cancers? Women deposit fat differently; fat in different locations can produce different hormones and be more or less pro-inflammatory, and perhaps women were designed to be able to be healthy with higher levels of adipose tissue, but what is the key factor? Biology is very difficult to predict by first principles alone. That is why a familiarity with the medical literature, a willingness to study, and a reliance on experimental results are so critical to a physician’s efficacy. All this is what is meant by the buzz phrase “evidence based medicine.”

And as surprising as it may be that obesity may offer a rare health benefit, you might be interested to find that several “unhealthy” things may result in various benefits. If you’re curious, then look into the evidence that tobacco use may lower the risk of Parkinson disease, ulcerative colitis and be associated with lower risk of obesity… almost everything carries risk and reward. Many times, a physician’s job is to help you balance risk and reward: Is it really important that you spend less time in the sun?

Should you have this surgery? These are all risk and reward questions that can be answered with the help of a (or several) qualified physicians.

Dr. Brent Taylor is board certified in dermatology, certified by the American Board of Venous and Lymphatic Medicine, and is fellowship-trained in Mohs micrographic surgery, cutaneous oncology and the treatment of varicose veins and venous disorders. If you or a loved one has a history of skin cancer, a suspicious spot, a vein issue or other dermatologic need, consider making an appointment at Premier Dermatology and Mohs Surgery of Atlanta today.

All mothers should be aware of preeclampsia

By Dr. Lee B. Padove One of the biggest challenges of preeclampsia during pregnancy is detecting this nuanced disorder. That’s because, sometimes, preeclampsia can show no obvious symptoms. A prenatal lab examination can detect elevated urine protein levels, an indication of preeclampsia. Other symptoms can include severe headaches, vision changes, swelling, severe breathing issues and even seizures (eclampsia).

Early symptom detection is important to improving the odds of a safe pregnancy.

When suspicion of preeclampsia exists, a thorough evaluation may include hospitalization, so health care providers can more closely monitoring the mother, baby and placenta.

The treatment for preeclampsia is the baby’s delivery. If only mild preeclampsia exists and both baby and mother are doing well, delivery ideally will be after 37 weeks. If there is a threat to either the baby’s health or mother’s life, delivery is scheduled earlier.

However, the effects of preeclampsia do not necessarily end after pregnancy.

Women who have had preeclampsia during pregnancy have a higher risk post-

Dental: Continued from Page 26 The patient isn’t “knocked out” or in total sedation like they would be for a surgery. The level of sedation isn’t that deep, but just deep enough so that they feel nothing but are still conscious.

Is Sedation Dentistry only for fearful patients? Dr. Patel says no. “Some people, while they are not at all afraid of dental treatment, are highly resistant

delivery for developing blood pressure problems, high cholesterol, diabetes, along with stroke and heart disease.

Women who experienced preeclampsia during pregnancy are at nearly double the risk for heart disease or stroke in the subsequent five-to-15 years. Women who have had severe preeclampsia may have a greater than six-fold risk.

It is important that women who’ve experienced preeclampsia embark on a healthy lifestyle path and follow preventive measures along with continued screening for diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol and premature heart disease.

For recommendations specific to you, continue regular checkups with your primary care physician or cardiologist.

The importance of nutrition and exercise in pregnancy

By Kortney Rogers Certified Nurse Midwife, Modern OBGYN Nutrition and exercise are vital aspects of pregnancy and managing each can lead to an overall KORTNEY healthier pregnancy ROGERS, CNM experience. During pregnancy, you need approximately 300 extra calories. It’s important to eat wellbalanced meals throughout the day to get the proper amount of calories, along with vitamins and minerals that support the development of your baby.

A prenatal vitamin is recommended along with healthy snacks and foods that consist of a variety of vegetables, proteins, and fruits along with healthy grains. You should try to keep sweets to a minimum and avoid alcohol. A healthy diet can help common preg-

nancy symptoms, such as nausea and constipation.

Exercise is also an important part of pregnancy and is an essential tool in improving overall fitness and maintaining health. It can be used to help with some of the common discomforts that occur in pregnancy, such as lower back and pelvic pain. Exercise should be tailored to each individual, as everyone has different needs and risk factors. If you were exercising prior to pregnancy, it is usually safe to continue to do so. If

you are new to fitness, you should start slow. Taking a walk 3 times a week for 30 minutes is a good way to start.

A good rule of thumb is to exercise to a point where you can still carry on a conversation, but you can’t sing. Working your way up to 30 minutes of moderate exercise on most days is a great goal. Prenatal yoga and water aerobics are two great workout options. Try to stretch every day, especially as you get further along.

Local cyclists to start cross-country trip for children’s hospital

By JULIA GROCHOWSKI julia@appenmediagroup.com ALPHARETTA, Ga. —Four local men will begin a 3,000-mile, cross-country trip May 25 that, over the course of 41 days, will take them from Cape Flattery, Wash. to Bangor, Maine.

And, it’s all for a good cause — to raise awareness and funds for Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta.

Dr. David Bergman, a Johns Creek pediatrician and founder of Pediatric Place, is spearheading the effort along with is son Jonah, who recently graduated from Centennial High School and plans to attend the University of Georgia.

Joining the father-son team are Vik Nat, a technical operations manager from Johns Creek, and Bruce Crawford, a retired, avid cyclist.

David said he chose Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta because of his previous experiences working with them.

“I used to work for CHOA years ago, and I am on staff there,” David said. “I really wanted to give back to the community. They practice excellent medicine.”

He added that it’s his patients that drive and inspire him to create fundraising cycling trips.

“They’re in my heart,” David said.

“There’s always a need to help children.

It’s a cause and passion that’s near and dear to my heart.”

This isn’t the first time David has undertaken a cross-country trip for a cause. In 2017, he teamed up with Centennial High School teacher Michael Higgins on a 38-day trip from the East to West coasts to raise funds for BlazeSports America, a local nonprofit that supports children and military veterans with disabilities. It is a legacy of the 1996 Atlanta Paralympic games.

David and Higgins raised more than $25,000 during that trip, all going directly to Blazesports.

David is working on a book chronicling the pair’s experiences during that

From left, Bruce Crawford, Vik Nat, Jonah Bergman and David Bergman are cycling from Washington state to Maine this summer to raise funds for Children’s Healthcare of America. trip.

Although they don’t a set monetary goal for the upcoming ride, David said he hopes to raise about the same amount for Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta.

They’re well on their way. The group has already raised about $1,200.

The cyclists plan to average about 100 miles each day. Bicycling and hiking is a hobby for everyone on the trip, so it’s like they’re always training, David said. No special preparation was needed.

David said he chose the route in part to create a unique riding experience

different from his previous trips. It was partially inspired by the Vikings and Norse lands, which eventually culminated in the trip’s title — The Norseman’s Passage.

It will mostly cover the northern part of America and cross into Canada in a few sections.

“It’s to see a whole other part of the country,” David said. “It gives you a different perspective on life, and it’s the best way to see the diversity of America.

You see America in all of its beauty, because you’re really immersed in the land…

“It’s patriotism in its purist form.

You’re with Americans, traversing through many different climates, cultures, peoples — rural areas, suburban areas, urban areas. You see the whole mix, the good, the bad and the ugly.

But you also see the whole beauty of the land and its people.”

A minivan will tag along in case of emergencies and the crew will be blogging periodically about their progress.

Beginning this month, Fulton School staff will host a series of community meetings at high schools across North Fulton to introduce prospective parents and students to Innovation Academy.

The events are slated for May 15 and 16.

“These meetings are where parents and students who are interested in the school can get a first look,” Jones said.

“This is the first step in the process of understanding what Innovation Academy offers, our direction, where it is heading, and if this is the right school for you.”

On the agenda will be topics programs and curriculum, along with infor-

mation about a “day/week in the life of a typical student.”

“We want to make sure parents and students make informed choices ahead of time, and [recognize] their commitment to something different and unique,” Jones said.

The school will open with a charter class of 450 freshman who will comprise the first graduating class in 2024.

A new class of freshman will enroll each year until the school reaches its target enrollment of 1,800 students in 2023.

The application process opens in October, and a lottery will be held if applications exceed the number of seats available.

The school is open to enrollment for students from across North Fulton; a second STEM high school will open in South Fulton in 2021.

Timeline for Innovation Academy Spring 2019 – Principal and academic staff in place; school partners identified; orientation for area middle school principals and counselors; marketing introduction to middle school students and families Summer/Fall/Winter 2019 – Monthly teacher “design thinking” training; work with partners to design Year One curriculum aligned to standards; conduct information sessions for public; application period for first year students set for Oct. 1 through Dec. 6.

Blessed Trinity sweeps LaGrange (4-0, 9-3): Blessed Trinity used a no-

hitter from Eric Moore in Game 1 and scored nine runs in Game 2 to sweep LaGrange May 2 to advance to the quarterfinals of the Class 4A playoffs.

Moore’s no-hitter in Game 1 was a fullcount ball away from a perfect game. The

left-hander struck out seven with one walk.

All of BT’s offense in Game 1 came in the fourth inning with Steele Chambers hitting a lead-off shot to put the Titans up 1-0. DJ Radtke and Trey Baker each hit two-out singles to set up a three-run home run Michael Mitchler. BT’s four hits in the fourth were their only hits of the game.

The Titans had far more success at the plate in Game 2 and piled on 12 hits for a 9-3 win.

BT had multiple RBI performances from Ryan Davis, Jake Smith and Trey Baker. Davis batted 1-3 with a sacrifice bunt and hit into a fielder’s choice, Smith was 3-4 with two doubles and a triple, and Baker batted 3-4 with a double and triple.

Smith and Baker each had extra-base hits to put BT up 2-0 in the first inning.

After Ryan Davis’ RBI sacrifice, a Baker double put the Titans up 4-1 in the third.

BT added five more runs while Radtke allowed just two hits and two earned runs with five strikeouts in six innings.

Blessed Trinity faces the winner of Upson-Lee/Woodward Academy in the quarterfinals.

Demark sweeps St. Pius X (7-1, 8-3): Denmark’s standout inaugural season will continue into the quarterfinals with the Danes sweeping St. Pius X in a May 2 doubleheader.

Starting pitcher Dalton Hansard threw a complete Game 1, allowing eight hits and no earned runs with seven strikeouts.

The Danes were led offensively in Game 1 with a four-RBI performance from Trevor Byrk who batted 3-4 with a double and home run.

Matthew Cassandra also hit a home run, a solo shot in the fourth inning to give the Danes a 2-0 lead. The Danes extended the margin to 7-0 in the fifth inning with an RBI double from Jaxson Corr, a Carson Russell RBI single and Byrk’s three-run home run.

After three scoreless innings to open Game 2, the Danes took a 4-0 lead in the bottom of the fourth inning on a three-RBI double from Byrk and single from Sammy Leis.

St. Pius cut the margin to 4-3 in the top of the sixth, but Denmark seized on two hits to open the bottom of the sixth

inning with three RBI singles and a sacrifice fly from Jack Kream.

Kream closed out the final inning on the mound allowing one hit. Jack Whitlock earned the start and gave up five hits and three earned runs in six innings.

Denmark will go on the road against West Laurens in the quarterfinals.

St. Francis falls to Savannah Country Day (12-11, 14-4): St. Francis’ successful season ended May 2 with the Knights dropping their series to No. 7 seed Savannah Country Day. The Knights battled in a high-scoring Game 1 where both squads combined for 23 runs. St. Francis plated nine runs in the fourth inning to take a 9-6 lead. Kyle Bork had an incredible inning for the Knights, hitting a lead-off home run before hitting a three-run home-run in his second plate appearance of the inning.

SCD reclaimed the lead and went up 12-9 in the fifth inning behind four hits, including a three-run home run.

The Knights cut the margin to 1211 in the top of the sixth on a two-RBI double from Will Clark, but two strikeouts and a groundout ended St. Francis’ comeback bid in the seventh.

Clark pitched 4.1 innings allowing six hits and three earned runs. Carter Davies allowed two hits and two earned runs in 1.2 innings.

SCD put up more big offensive numbers in Game 2 with 14 runs off 13 hits.

St. Francis trailed 6-0 in the bottom of the third before a two-out rally cut the deficit to 6-4. Bork hit a home run and Bret Madren, Griffin Weaver and Clark hit doubles to plate four runners. However, the Knights were held to just two more hits in the remainder of the game while the Hornets continued to rack up runs.

St. Francis went 21-9 overall this season.

Fellowship Christian splits with Mt. Vernon: Fellowship Christian and Mount Vernon were to play a decisive Game 3 later in the week after splitting their doubleheader.

Fellowship’s Isaac Bouton threw a no-hitter in Game 1 to lead the Paladins’ 8-1 win. Bouton struck out 10 batters

See BASEBALL, Page 37

NorthFulton.com | Johns Creek Herald | May 9, 2019 | 37

Baseball: Continued from Page 36

and had three walks in seven innings.

Bouton helped his own cause in the

fourth inning with an RBI double and the Paladins added three more runs on two Mt. Vernon errors.

Matson Grose earned his second RBI of the contest with a sacrifice fly in the sixth inning along with RBI singles from

Andrew Davidson and Luke Schmidt.

After taking Game 1 in decisive fashion, Fellowship fell short in a closely contested Game 2.

The Paladins trailed 3-2 in the sixth inning but tied the game on a David

Bishop RBI single.

Mt. Vernon reclaimed the lead with two hits in the top of the seventh to go up 4-3. Fellowship stranded a runner in the bottom of the frame to force the door-die Game 3.

Reader Advisory: The National Trade Association we belong to has purchased the following classifieds. Determining the value of their service or product is advised by this publication.

In order to avoid misunderstandings, some advertisers do not offer employment but rather supply the readers with manuals, directories and other materials designed to help their clients establish mail order selling and other businesses at home. Under NO circumstance should you send any money in advance or give the client your checking, license identification or credit card numbers. Also beware of ads that claim to guarantee loans regardless of credit and note that if a credit repair company does business only over the phone it’s illegal to request any money before delivering its service. All funds are based in U.S. dollars.
