City paves way for private school Officials call relocation a win for Johns Creek BY TIFFANY MORGAN newsroom@appenmedia.com JOHNS CREEK, Ga. –– Rousing applause erupted May 17 when the Johns Creek City Council approved a site on Johns Creek Parkway for the relocation and construction of Providence Christian Academy. The school, which includes grades K-12, plans to relocate from McGinnis Ferry Road, just inside Forsyth County. Council members discussed the progressive imprint the school will bring to the city, with anticipation for up to 200 students. The former address of the school
was in Forsyth County at 7340 McGinnis Ferry Road, and the school’s new facility will be shared with PVR Research, a consumer research firm. Johns Creek resident Mary Beth Cooper said “this school belongs in this area” and will provide a positive impact for the city. The school’s next step will be to submit a building permit for approval, in order to start construction and be complete for the fall. The school will be required to construct the sidewalk as required per the approved zoning conditions. Administrators from the school and council members agreed how the addition of Providence will support the city’s “live, work, play” mantra. “It’s very positive for Johns Creek and the town center. Their student demographic will be a good compliment to the area,” Mayor John Bradberry said.
Current enrollment at Providence is nearly 60, and the administration anticipates over time for that number to grow. Community Development Director Ben Song said an enrollment of up to 200 students at a private school in the area would not hinder traffic flow or create congestion. “It will be efficient but not overly dense and will be able to accommodate more students in Johns Creek,” Song said. The academy also aligns with the approved framework of the Town Center Vision and Plan, which is to “create an iconic destination representing the city’s diversity, culture and values.” Alcon, Pandya Medical Center, Elite Fencing Academy and North Chattahoochee Family Physicians are some of the businesses near the school’s location.

ATLANTA —Declining enrollment and increasing vacancies in elementary and middle school classrooms is prompting Fulton County Schools officials to get creative about how education will look in the future. Enrollment projections for North Fulton schools show more than 9,000 available seats in kindergarten through 8th grade next year, with few signs of growth through the decade. School officials say they hope innovative options for education may draw new families into the region and lure private school students back to public schools. One idea with strong support from administrators are kindergarten through 8th grade academies focused on STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts and math). These academies could be located within existing school buildings with infrastructure already in place. In the North Fulton region, one potential opportunity for a K-8 academy is at Holcomb Bridge Middle

Man arrested for threats made to sheriff’s deputy FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. — A Dawsonville man was arrested May 16 after allegedly threatening a member of the Forsyth County Sheriff’s Office over the phone five days earlier. The man called dispatch to complain about a Forsyth County deputy’s driving. Dispatch patched in a deputy to take details of the incident. The man gave only vague information about which patrol vehicle he had encountered, but said it nearly ran him off the road. The deputy on the phone attempted to calm the man down, but the man began insulting the deputy with profanities. The deputy then asked the man to meet in person, believing they could have a more productive and calm conversation that way, according to the report. The deputy asked where the two could meet, and the man allegedly responded with, “Why, so I can blow your brains out?” The deputy continued to ask to meet the man, but the threats con-
PUBLIC SAFETY tinued, according to the report. The deputy hung up on the man, who then called back and hung up again after a brief, confrontational exchange. The deputy was able to identify the driver of the patrol vehicle the caller had encountered and was able to get details on the caller’s car. Matthew Haney, 38, was arrested on charges of terroristic threats.
Man stalks woman, threatens violence ALPHARETTA, Ga. — A Duluth woman working in Alpharetta told police May 15 an Atlanta man had been stalking her and sending her threatening messages. The woman said the man had been her friend at one point. She said he would text her from different numbers and tell her that he was watching her. She said she observed a red laser beam on her chest the previous day after the man sent her a message saying “the ‘beam’ was on her,” according to the report. The next day, while the woman was at work, she received a message from the man stating the beam was on one of her coworkers and that “he was getting ready to take the shot.” At that point, the workers locked the door and called police. The woman showed police messages she received around midnight May 15. The messages mostly contained insults
and profanity, but the man threatened to kill her in one of the messages, according to the report. The woman showed officers a message she received right when police arrived that said, “I see you talking to the police and we are hiding.” The woman was told to file a temporary protective order against the man, block his number, avoid responding to him and change her phone number.
Decatur man discovered inside closed restaurant ALPHARETTA, Ga. — An Alpharetta police officer tased and arrested a Decatur man May 4 after finding him inside Goldbergs Fine Foods in Avalon after hours. The officer responded to an intrusion alarm in the restaurant. The man was in the kitchen area when the officer arrived. The officer attempted to gain the man’s attention by shining his flashlight inside and knocking on the door, but the man ignored him. The officer walked toward the back of the restaurant, where the man met him outside. The man refused to identify himself, then walked back inside the restaurant, and the officer followed. The man attempted to leave the store again, and the officer told him he was being detained until he could

Two arrested in Alpharetta hotel for drug trafficking By JAKE DRUKMAN jake@appenmedia.com ALPHARETTA, Ga. — Two drug trafficking suspects were arrested at the Extended Stay hotel on Rock Mill Road May 6 after police reported finding cocaine, methamphetamine and marijuana in a hotel room they were sharing. Alpharetta police were called to the scene by the ex-girlfriend of James
Cotton, one of the suspects. The woman told police Cotton had thrown her to the ground and began to strangle her when she went to his hotel room and saw him with his new girlfriend, Mecca McCloud. The woman said she managed to kick Cotton and flee the hotel. Officers observed blood on the woman’s throat and face and scratches on her neck. The woman also advised that Cotton had drugs in the room and that she had seen him make multiple drug deals out of the room. Police secured an arrest warrant for Cotton and a warrant to search his person. Police handcuffed Cotton without incident when he opened the door to the hotel room. McCloud was also in the room when officers entered. Officers found loose baggies in Cotton’s pockets. He said he did not know how they got there. Police had a drug canine sniff the hotel hallway as well as Cotton’s car. Based on the dog’s alerts and Cotton’s ex-girlfriend’s statements, police obtained search warrants for the hotel room and Cotton’s car. Officers located 29 grams of meth-
amphetamine, 21 grams of cocaine and 11.3 ounces of marijuana inside the hotel room. No drugs were found inside Cotton’s car. Police interviewed McCloud in a separate hotel room. McCloud told police she had been going to Cotton’s room regularly for two months. She said Cotton had asked her to have people send her money and then send the money to him, and she had agreed, according to the report. She said she did not know what the payments were for. Police placed McCloud under arrest. They then searched the room they had placed her in and found a bag under the bed containing 16 grams of crack cocaine. The room had been cleaned prior to McCloud being placed in the room, according to the report. Cotton, 39, from Forsyth, Ga., was charged with aggravated assault, trafficking methamphetamine, possession of cocaine with intent to distribute and possession of marijuana with intent to distribute. McCloud, 27, from Newnan, was charged with trafficking methamphetamine.

The officer drew his taser and told the man to place his hands behind his back, but the man refused, and the officer tased him and cuffed him. The man refused medical treatment on the scene but was taken to the hospital. The officer then transported him to the Fulton County Jail on an obstruction charge.
Woman learns of lien during sale of her home ALPHARETTA, Ga. — An Alpharetta woman accused her ex-husband of mortgage fraud regarding her house on Sharpe Lane, according to a May 4 police report. The woman told police she was attempting to close the sale of her home when she was made aware of a security lien that had been placed on the property. She also found a document from a Fulton County judge voiding the quit claim deed that was placed on the home in March. She told police she was “certain” that her ex-husband, who lives in Johns Creek, was responsible because a company mentioned in the documentation has a relationship with her ex-husband’s company. The police report notes that officers were not immediately able to investigate further due to time constraints.

Kemp rallies in Alpharetta ahead of primary By JAKE DRUKMAN jake@appenmedia.com ALPHARETTA, Ga. — The afternoon heat didn’t stop a strong crowd from forming outside Chiringa in downtown Alpharetta May 17 for a rally with Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp. A crowd of around 200 stood in the sun and cheered for the governor as he spoke on his record of fighting Democratic initiatives, reopening the state amid the pandemic and keeping law enforcement highly funded. Kemp was joined by former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, who praised Kemp’s legislative history. The rally, which ran just over 20 minutes, was part of a final push by Kemp to fire up his supporters ahead of the May 24 primary. Kemp has held a firm polling lead against former Sen. David Perdue, his strongest Republican opponent, since the former senator first launched his campaign. Despite his solid polling, Kemp still runs the risk of having to fund a runoff campaign if he doesn’t beat Perdue outright next Tuesday by achieving more than 50 percent of the Republican vote. Christie stressed the importance of ending the primary race without a runoff before Kemp came up to speak. He said strong support for Kemp on May 24 would give Republicans the best chance to win the November general election against Democrat candidate Stacey Abrams. Christie said the sooner Kemp won the primary, the sooner he could “aim his sights” at national Democratic leadership like President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris. “Brian Kemp is the only thing standing in between Georgia and having Stacey Abrams as your governor,” Christie said.
“We don’t want that, do we? He’s tough, he’s smart, he’s strong, he’s loyal.” Alpharetta Mayor Pro Tem Dan Merkel also spoke on Kemp’s behalf as the rally began. Kemp said Merkel has been a long-time friend. Fulton County Commissioner Bob Ellis and Forsyth County Commissioner Todd Levent were also at the event supporting the governor. The governor thanked Lauren LeNoir, Chiringa’s general manager, for accommodating the rally. He used Chiringa as an example of a small business he helped survive by easing pandemic restrictions in the state. He said that while national media organizations and political opponents criticized his actions, small business owners thanked him for the move. “When I reopened the economy, I just simply gave Lauren the opportunity to live to fight another day,” Kemp said. “I’ve had so many small business people who’ve said, ‘You saved our business.’ I’ll tell them, ‘No I did not. You saved your business. I just didn’t prevent you from doing that.’” Kemp reiterated that a vote for him was the best way to protect “the soul of the state” and prevent Stacey Abrams from becoming governor. As the rally ended, Kemp asked the crowd for donations for fuel to keep his campaign bus rolling across the state.
The big picture
The Georgia governor’s race has become one of many elections across the country that have carved a rift in the Republican Party. The schism has divided officials who have backed former President Donald Trump’s false claims of widespread election fraud in 2020 like Perdue, and those who have dismissed the fraud claims like Kemp.

Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp speaks to the crowd in downtown Alpharetta as former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie watches May 17 After Perdue failed to avoid a runoff to retain his Senate seat in the 2020 election, he issued a statement urging Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger to resign. Days after announcing his candidacy for governor, Perdue filed a lawsuit seeking to examine 2020 absentee ballots out of Fulton County to prove there had been fraud. A state judge dismissed the suit last week. Perdue’s backing of Trump earned him the former president’s endorsement in the race. Trump and his son, Donald Trump Jr., have both joined Perdue for campaign stops in Georgia in recent months. Despite the Trump family’s backing, Perdue has consistently trailed Kemp in polls throughout his campaign. Mike Pence, Trump’s former Vice President, broke with Trump late last
week when he announced he would campaign with Kemp on May 23, the eve of the primary. Pence has previously criticized Trump for his comments regarding the 2020 election. Though polling has consistently shown them as the clear frontrunners, Kemp and Perdue are not the only Republicans running for governor. Three other Republicans, including Kandiss Taylor, Tom Williams and Catherine Davis, have also qualified for the seat. Of the three, Taylor has polled the highest. Though Perdue seems unlikely to win the nomination outright, if Kemp fails to receive half the vote on May 24, Perdue will have the opportunity to win over supporters from Taylor in the runoff. Taylor has also backed Trump’s election fraud claims. CDAR Member SWIFT Code: GMCBUS3A

Anthem, Northside face off in Georgia’s Supreme Court CITY OF JOHNS CREEK PUBLIC NOTICE PURPOSE An Alcoholic Beverage License Application was summited to City on May 18, 2022 for Consumption on Premises of Malt Beverage, Wine and Distilled Spirits.

By REBECCA GRAPEVINE Capitol Beat ATLANTA — Two health-care players embroiled in a legal controversy that could affect hundreds of thousands of Georgians’ health care faced off in state Supreme Court May 17. Lawyers for Anthem (Blue Cross Blue Shield), a large health insurance company, and Northside, an Atlanta hospital system, debated the meaning of “public health emergency” and jurisdiction over legal appeals. The dispute is rooted in Anthem’s decision to terminate Northside from its insurance network in May 2021. Anthem claims it dropped the Atlanta hospital system because Northside “billed exorbitant sums [to Anthem] over the years” and was “an extreme outlier in costs among Anthem’s contracted providers,” according to a brief filed with the court. The insurer and hospital tried to negotiate a solution but were unable to come to an agreement. Northside then filed suit against Anthem last December just before the planned termination was to take effect. A Fulton County judge issued an injunction forestalling Anthem’s termina-
tion of Northside from the company’s insurance network. Anthem has now appealed that injunction to the Georgia Supreme Court. One legal issue centers around the definition of “public health emergency.” That’s because the General Assembly passed a law during the 2021 session prohibiting insurers from dropping health-care providers from their networks during and for 150 days after a “public health emergency.” Northside contends that the 2021 statutory reform should bar Anthem from dropping the hospital system from its insurance network. But what, exactly, is a public health emergency under the terms of the new law? Former Supreme Court Chief Justice Harold Melton – representing Anthem – argued for a narrow definition of a public health emergency. Northside lawyer Robert Highsmith Jr. argued for a broader definition. The Supreme Court’s jurisdiction for determining constitutionality of the Fulton County trial court’s injunction was another issue Melton and Highsmith debated. The legal issues may appear arcane
to most Georgians. But two justices pointed out that ordinary Georgians are affected by the failure of the two parties to reach an agreement and urged them to come to terms with each other. “It might be for the benefit of everyone to work this out and moot this” legal dispute, noted Justice Nels S.D. Peterson during the arguments. An agreement would “be good for a lot of customers,” added Justice Charles Bethel. Tuesday’s appearance was former Georgia Supreme Court Chief Justice Harold Melton’s first in his old courtroom as a lawyer, not a judge. Melton was appointed to the Georgia Supreme Court by Gov. Sonny Perdue in 2005. Melton stepped down in 2021. Neither side would comment to the media, though Melton did term his first appearance on the other side of the bench “nerve-wracking.” Georgians can expect a decision on the dispute within six months. This story is available through a news partnership with Capitol Beat News Service, a project of the Georgia Press Educational Foundation.

Schools:
our students, for our families and for our staff,” Jones said during a recent meeting of the Fulton County Board of Education.
Continued from Page 1 School in Roswell. “The addition of K-8 academies to our portfolio of schools will add a high quality choice for our parents,” said Cliff Jones, chief academic officer for Fulton County Schools. “We know [this model] is an approach that improves student achievement and also fits within our overall commitment to the middle school redesign.” The idea is not new for the district. Two years ago, district officials recommended closing a low-enrollment elementary school and re-opening it as a K-8 academy in the South Fulton region. The community and ultimately the Fulton School Board rejected the model, citing the promise that a new elementary school would be built in the community. Today, armed with more data and increasing community interest, especially in the North Fulton region, district officials are now committed to the concept. “This effort aims to create schools with intentionally focused academics, stronger relationships both in the school and outside the building and with a greater sense of belonging for

A tested education approach
The K-8 academy format has long been the preferred model for private schools and charter schools. In North Fulton, both Amana Academy and FAST (Fulton Academy of Science and Technology) district charter schools offer kindergarten through eighth grade in the same facility. The opening last year of Innovation Academy in downtown Alpharetta by the Fulton County School System provides the natural “feeder” high school for students at FAST to have the STEAM curriculum from kindergarten through graduation. Jones said the goal is to provide that educational option for all students in the district. He noted superintendent Mike Looney has also been a strong advocate for K-8 academies since coming to the district in 2019. The Fulton Schools’ capital program for the next five years is looking at converting Holcomb Bridge middle school into a K-8 academy and leaving underpopulated Haynes Bridge Middle as is for the time being. The other option is to replace both schools with one new middle school and redraw attendance zones.

District official makes case for K-8 academies Fulton County Schools Chief Academic Officer Cliff Jones cited a growing body of research on K-8 academies and the “positive outcomes” for students and staff. This includes: • Increased student academic achievement. Students in a K-8 model outperform their peers, especially in math, and repost higher levels of self-esteem and academic confidence. • Increased attendance rate. The K-8 structure provides more stability and continuity for students, parents and teachers by providing a more “secure social foundation.” • Increased leadership opportunities and participation in extracurricular activities. Jones noted this results in fewer behavioral problems, including decreased incidences of bullying, because students feel more connected to the school community. • Increased graduation rates. Students involved in K-8 academies consistently graduate high school at higher rates than their peers in traditional schools. “The K-8 research is clear,” Jones said, during his presentation to the Fulton Board of Education this month. “It’s good for student academic achievement, for maintaining community connections, for teacher morale, and for building deeper connections with their peers.” Jones noted the wait list to enroll in area charter schools shows parents support the concept K-8 academy concept. “Fulton Schools has an opportunity to solve one of the biggest hindrances for districts that need a [conversation] about our capital and facility plan,” Jones said. “We have wait lists at our
K-8 charters…and parents who are asking for this model.” Fulton County Schools officials are hosting a series of community forums in the coming months on the district’s capital plans through 2027. The issue of K-8 academies, as well as redistricting, will be the focus of these discussions.

Roswell Rotary Club works to provide clean water for Panamanians By JAKE DRUKMAN jake@appenmedia.com ROSWELL, Ga. — The Roswell Rotary Club is stepping in to help a population deprived of one of life’s basic necessities – water. While residents in wealthier nations may take it for granted, clean drinking water is hard to come by in some remote areas. For residents in some of the remote villages of Panama, it’s a daily reality. Drinking dirty water is a serious risk for illness, but sometimes, it can be the only option. In conjunction with Rotary International and other local club chapters, the Roswell Rotary has led an effort to raise nearly $250,000 to implement a safe water supply in six remote Panamanian villages. The effort began after Roswell Rotarian Langdon Hollingsworth spent two years living in the Darien Province of eastern Panama after graduating from the Georgia Institute of Technology with a degree in engineering. During his stay, Hollingsworth worked on clean drinking water infrastructure projects with the U.S.-based nonprofit Solea Water. Hollingsworth said he tried internships in a variety of fields with Fortune 500 companies during his time at Georgia Tech, but he found his work with the organization Engineers Without Borders to be more fulfilling, driving him to pursue humanitarian work as a full-time career. He said living in Panama from 2018 to 2020 only reinforced his desire to pursue humanitarian work. He described the experience as rugged, often lacking clean water, showers, air conditioning or means to cook food other than an open fire. Despite the hardship, Hollingsworth said it was a “fantastic experience.” “It opened me up to a huge population of the world, how they live,” Hollingsworth said. “It’s easy to get complacent, comfortable in the United States because we just have so much. It’s easy to forget that we are very much the minority in terms of income per capita, quality of living and standard of living.” Hollingsworth decided he could turn his efforts into a larger project for the Rotary Club. The Alpharetta Rotary Club helped connect Hollingsworth, and his father and fellow Rotarian Lee Hollingsworth, with the Rotary Club of Panama Nordeste, which had completed similar projects in the past. The Rotary project began in 2020, with the construction of water systems for two villages: Nazaret and Esperanza. The Roswell Rotary Club raised $15,000

Members of the Roswell Rotary Club visited Panama in March to meet villagers they would help build water systems for. for the first project, the Alpharetta club chipped in $5,000, and the Griffin club gave $4,000. With regional and national Rotary Club donation matching programs and grants, Rotarians raised a total of $65,000 for the two villages. After the concept was proven, Roswell Rotary applied for a second project with the Rotary Foundation. The project and a grant were approved in April and will provide $180,675 to construct water systems for four more Panamanian villages: Baja Puru, Boca de Tigre, Peña Bijagual and Pulida. Solea Water is partnering with Rotary for the project. Lee Hollingsworth said in total, the projects would impact around 1,500 people, around half of them children. He said the Panama government has “gotten on board” with the project, which he said would be far more expensive for them to undertake themselves. The implemented water systems are solar-powered and gravity-fed. Solarpowered tanks placed atop hills pull water from underground wells, then allow the water to flow through pipes downhill to the villages. Lee Hollingsworth said the project is using local labor to construct the water systems, which he said gives local communities the benefit of knowing how to maintain them. A group of Roswell Rotarians visited some of the affected villages in March. Lee Hollingsworth said the trip helped members understand the people they are working to help and the conditions they live in. “It’s real people and real kids,” Lee Hollingsworth said. “There are no hospitals around, so if a kid gets sick, that’s going to be a real problem. They get sick all the time with dirty water. They use the water for bathing, for sewage, and the river just gets overwhelmed.” Lee Hollingsworth noted the dry season in Panama recently ended, so
construction on the water systems in the remaining four villages will take longer. He estimated the systems in the four villages would be complete around March of next year. He specifically thanked Sidney Disher and Robert Hagan of the Roswell Rotary, Olga Narvaez and Bob Koncerak of the Alpharetta Rotary and Alexei Oduber, Albert Wong and Jonathan Cerna of the Rotary Club of Panama Nordeste for their support with the project.

OPINION
It really makes you wonder
I crossed paths with a young gentleman carrying a bag of groceries in the parking lot of a local market recently. He looked like any normal guy you’d run across anywhere, except for his T-shirt. PAT FOX In big letters on Managing Editor the front: “Trump pat@appenmedia.com Won.” Now, everyone, at one time or another loves to stir the pot a bit, and maybe that’s what this guy was all about. Maybe he wore the shirt to his job to get some attention. Failing that, then maybe a stroll down the dental hygiene aisle at Kroger would draw some stares. If by chance he really was serious, then he is among an alarming multitude who subscribe to the biggest fantasy in my lifetime. For the record – and you probably already know this – there have been 62 lawsuits filed in state and federal courts contesting the 2020 presidential elec-
tion. All but one has been dismissed, declined or ruled ridiculous. The only case that succeeded was in Pennsylvania where a judge sided with the Trump campaign’s argument that voters should not have been allowed three days after the election to provide proper identification in order to validate – or cure – their mail-in ballot. Detractors place the number of votes cured at a “few,” but it was more than that. Election officials in Montgomery County, Pa., alone estimated the number there at just under 100. Even if all those cured ballots were for Biden – and there’s no evidence they were – to argue that a corrupt curing process could have overturned Biden’s 81,600 vote margin in the state is ludicrous. The point here is that the 2020 election was not stolen. There is no fact – not anywhere – to argue the contrary. Americans can believe there is a border crisis. They can believe the government should do more to foster gas production in the United States. They can even believe that more care should

This illustration shows what really happens during a lunar eclipse, according to experts in the Flat Earth Society. be taken in addressing how elections are conducted. Those are not lies. Evidence exists to make a case for each argument. But “Trump Won” is a lie. I feel sorry for those who believe it. Many times, I have voted for presidential candidates – Republican and Democrat – who have lost. It hurt some, but I got over it. The next day, I joined millions of others who resumed life in reality. I thought about this very thing the other night while watching the lunar eclipse from my backyard. Fascinating stuff, seeing Earth’s curved shadow creep across the silver face of the moon. It then occurred to me what sort of
damage this could be doing to the Flat Earth Society. How could they reconcile it? They would have to create an alternate reality to refute celestial evidence on display above an entire continent. Their latest theory, it turns out, is that what we saw the night of May 15 was a mysterious “shadow object” that orbits the sun, and from time to time passes between the Earth and moon. The smart play here would be for the Flat Earthers to file 62 lawsuits attesting to this so “shadow object” theory could be incorporated into the public school science curriculum. Heck, print T-shirts.
On time and the traditional Christmas letter For the last 10 or 15 years or so I have sort of measured the passage of time by how many people are on my Christmas letter list. I have written that Christmas letter now for at least 45 RAY APPEN years, since I was Publisher Emeritus about 20. I don’t ray@appenmediagroup.com think I have missed a single year. Most of the people on my list are my parent’s friends/cohorts – the people I grew up around. They were the parents of my friends – neighbors, professional associates, team moms and dads, and others. When I look back on my childhood, they are there like things that will always be “there” – holidays, football games, cook outs, fishing outings – like the school buildings, the teachers, coaches, the fabric of life for any child. It never entered my mind – at the time – that would ever change, even as I witnessed that change passing before my eyes in living color with the passage of time. I suspect we are all more or less like that. So an old friend texted me this morning: “Mom passed peacefully, no pain. Went to see Dad and John. Can you tell
your sisters and the Butler girls please?” “Of course, I reply “ I will.“ Later on today, I texted her back: “I knew this day was coming, but even so, I am so heartbroken. I am so sorry.” I did not know “Dad” very well. He was quiet and always seemed to be there in the background in support of his wife, “Mom,” who ran all things, not unlike a general or ringmaster of a circus, and certainly not unlike a resolute teacher – which in reality, she was at the middle school that I attended in Florida in the late 1960s – John F. Kennedy Middle School. I believe she taught English. I remember he had really thick glasses and that he liked small sports cars. Maybe the last one was some sort of aqua color? He was Civil Service and when he retired, he went to the gym a lot. I don’t think his retirement lasted very long though. You know “time” for children is one of those concepts that is often hazy, like a ghost or tides at the beach. I remember when his wife, my dear friend who died yesterday, Faye, and I talked about her “Bing” she told me that one of my peers was one of the EMT’s showed up when she called 911 for him. Of course, that EMT was also one of her former students. John, the other person in heaven, was her son and my peer. He was one grade ahead of me. He went to the same
boarding school I attended for high school. He wrote well and was an accomplished drummer. And he was a child of the ’60s much like I was, at least the tail end of the ’60s. He ended up struggling for much of his life after high school and lived with Faye until he died. We were kindred souls, John and I, and I think that, but for a simple twist of fate, I managed to make it through those troubled times more intact than he. Every day I am grateful for my fortune; so many are not so lucky. Our lives were so intertwined all those years. My physician dad was their family doctor. He was there when John started to fail and for all the years that followed. When my parents divorced, they stayed loyal to my dad, and he was the family doctor until the end, even after he had stepped off the edge and descended into the abyss of terrible alcoholism. She did not approve of the divorce and was my mom’s very best friend all her life, but she also stayed loyal to my dad. Faye was the one person my mother would call when she had reached her wits end with me. It was with Faye that she was able to find comfort and refuge of a sort. It was because of Faye I think, that mother didn’t kick me out of the house and into the street, I am fairly sure. And it was my mom who Faye called when John went missing out on I-95 in
the middle of the night all those years ago. Two middle-aged women driving out into the black night to try to find and rescue a lost son in desperate need of being rescued. Before morning they found him. Faye was as much a part of my life growing up and as an adult as anyone I can think of. After Bing died, she took over the care of John for the rest of his life. His condition was at times severe and unmanageable, but she never seemed to take a single step back - at least that I could see. Her love for him and the strength she showed - always - I am sure I will remember all the rest of my life. Recently, when Apryl told me that she had moved Faye from Melbourne to Orlando so she could be closer to her, she mentioned that her mom would have a new phone number - that her old number that I had known basically all my life 636-1967 - would no longer connect me to her. I was stunned and almost begged her to let her mom keep her number. I even offered to pay for it. It turned out that because she had moved that the 911 service would not be able to locate her, which made sense. But I just fought against losing a part of my past, a past connected to a woman who was as much family as my own mom. I did not want to let go. We never do. Now my Christmas list is approaching zero names. How did this happen?

Is that lump dangerous? How to tell with the four “F’s” Brought to you by - Premier Dermatology and Mohs Surgery of Atlanta Most patients who come to the dermatologist ask for examination of a growth that is right on the surface of the skin. For such spots, a number of visual and tactile features can provide clues to diagnosis. Color and texture provide useful information. For melanomas, we use the famous ABCDE’s: melanomas tend to exhibit some combination of Asymmetry, Border irregularity, Color variation, have a Diameter larger than a pencil eraser and exhibit Evolution over time (change over time). But what to do with a mass under the skin? When the patient presents with a lump that is under the skin, surface clues often aren’t helpful. Instead, physicians often rely on the four “F’s” as an initial screen for whether a subcutaneous lump might be dangerous. Cancers of the soft tissue under the skin are called sarcomas. Sarcomas often are Fixed, Firm, Fast-growing and Fairly painful. The English teacher in the audience may object to the poetic license the medical community takes when calling these features “F’s.” Pain is more of a P than an F, but put the word “Fairly” in front of P
and Voila! -- you’ve got yourself an F. Benign masses tend to be the opposite of these F’s. They tend to be soft to the touch, movable, non-tender, and very slow growing if they are growing at all. An example is a benign fatty tumor called a lipoma. Sarcomas are more likely to be firm or fixed in place, meaning that you can’t really move them back and forth. They might be fixed to muscle or bone beneath them because they sometimes grow into these deeper less mobile structures. Sarcomas tend to increase in size over time, sometimes quickly. And cancers are sometimes tender or painful when you press on them. Warning: these are not hard and fast rules. Most doctors submit nearly every specimen that they remove from a patient to a pathologist for examination under the microscope. Even masses with reassuring features can turn out to be a cancer. This article is not intended to encourage self-diagnosis over seeking the opinion of an expert, and we urge the reader to see a professional for growths or masses that are new, changing or not previously examined and diagnosed. If you or a loved one has a skin care need, please consider Premier Dermatology and Mohs Surgery of Atlanta. It would be our pleasure to take great care of you!

Masterpieces and self-expression Brought to you by - Village Park Senior Living There is an artist in all of us. Regardless of age, culture, or background, creating artwork has the ability to stimulate our minds, release emotions, and leave a tangible masterpiece of our experiences. In recent weeks, residents of Village Park Senior Living showcased their work for the surrounding Alpharetta community. The collaboration between Village Park Senior Living and the Alpharetta Arts Center provided resident artists the opportunity to share their various forms of self-expression. From sculptors, painters, to quilters, the wide range of talents proved to be magnificent. An ambience of admiration flowed through the Alpharetta Arts Center as residents and their guests walked through the hallways to cherish the work of their neighbors. Coordinated by Community Engagement Specialist, Donna Boudakian, the event was pivotal for seniors’ selfexpression as it was an opportunity to create connections and share their stories through their skill sets. “They all have special talents they
should share,” Donna advocates. “Their crafts are timeless, it inspires us to never stop doing what you love because of your age.” Their timeless masterpieces have encouraged others to continue creating. Art workshops throughout Village Park communities are filled with the colorful creative work of the seniors who live there. The art classes not only build relationships, but they also provide physical benefits. According to Americare, art classes have therapeutic benefits. Studies show that seniors who participate in creative arts have reduced feelings of stress, anxiety and depression. Art therapy also provides stimulating challenges to seniors and sharpens the mind by enhancing thinking skills and neural connections that may have been lost. Art is beneficial for anybody at any age. At Village Park Senior Living, we recognize the benefits of creative stimulation and self-expression. We encourage you to visit some of our art work and learn more about continuing your passions by visiting us at the Alpharetta Community Center for the Alpharetta Arts Streetfest on May

In Memoriam
In memory of many, in honor of them all.
Constantine “Uncle Teddy” Turner
Constantine “Uncle Teddy” Turner born June 14, 1941, was called home May 10, 2022 with family by his side. Teddy was a dedicated Fulton County bus operator for 20 years and a lifelong graphic artist and photographer. Teddy was a successful business owner. His artistic talent led him to the launch of Con Turner’s Lettering and Art in New York in 1983. He continued his artistic calling throughout his life. Teddy had a very difficult childhood which forged him into the empathetic and loving man we know and love. He lived by the words “never
be unkind to children.” As a school bus operator he would sing “You’re so Pretty” to the children on picture day to make them feel special. He would lead the entire bus in singing “Happy Birthday” when it was their special day. He left a lasting impression on the children, their families, as well as those who knew him best. Teddy is survived by his loving and devoted wife Patricia; children Paula, Karol ( Jimmy), Carl (Lisa), Robert, Lisa and Shane (Davis); beloved grandchildren CW, Cameron, Blake, Cole, Tyler, Noah and an extensive list of family members and loved ones.

Newspaper Delivery Routes Open We have several delivery routes open in the Alpharetta-Roswell / North Fulton area. The work is once a week and requires the following: Reliable transportation, very clean driving record (we do a record check), and professional work ethic. We prefer the ideal person to have experience delivering newspapers but that is not an absolute requirement. The delivery route is to every home in the subdivision - and is NOT subscriber based. The route can be done on your schedule - within our specific 2-3 day window - depending on which paper you deliver. We pay for all your gas, provide bags, and pay you as an independent contractor on a per home delivered basis. Call our office at 770-442-3278 to request an application. The typical route pays approximately $140 plus gas per week and takes about 4-5 hours to deliver. HIRING? Call us at 770-4423278 and run your listing in the Herald & Crier newspapers. 93,000 copies delivered around town every week!
