Milton intersection projects underway; others slated to begin soon

By JOE PARKER joe@appenmediagroup.com MILTON, Ga. — Some major Milton road improvement projects have been completed recently, and more construction is set to begin this summer.

The roundabout at Freemanville and Providence Road is on track for completion in July dependent on weather. The single-lane traffic circle replaces a fourway stop and will include landscaping in

the interior of the roundabout.

Work is underway to complete a left turn lane on Ga. 372 at Batesville Road.

Paving was completed last week, and the addition of pavement markings and cleanup are the only remaining items on the project, said Milton transportation engineer Sara Leaders.

A Florida-T intersection at Crabapple Road and Green Road was completed in April along with the construction of left and right turning lanes on Green Road.

The Florida-T includes a receiving lane for traffic turning left from Green Road onto Crabapple and a left turn lane for eastbound Crabapple traffic turning onto Green Road.

The intersection was an operational improvement in conjunction with the Georgia DOT. Such projects can be implemented in a short period of time at a lower cost versus major improvements.

The woman said she was shopping with her two grandchildren around 7 p.m. when one of her grandchildren picked up a small plastic shovel in an aisle and “lightly” struck another child. She said she immediately apologized to the child’s father and began verbally disciplining her grandchild.

Temp worker sought on suspicion of forgery MILTON, Ga. — Milton Police are searching for a temporary employee for forging a check received from a local restaurant.

The suspect was hired as a hostess for one night of work at Can’s Taqueria in downtown Crabapple on April 26. The business gave the 20-year old a check for $32, but later noticed a discrepancy on the business’ account.

The employee had allegedly forged the check to alter the payment from $32 to $3,200 and successfully cashed the check.

The restaurant contacted the employee, who has multiple relatives working at the business. The suspect said she did not have all the money and “spent her half” according to the police report. The suspect was told to return the money by May 1 or the business would contact police. She did not return the funds.

Parked car burglarized while owner dines out MILTON, Ga. — A man visiting Milton had his car burglarized while he dined at

According to the police report, the father of the child who had been struck “became irate.” The man allegedly said if that were his kid he would beat him, and then he inferred that he would cause physical harm to the woman’s grandchildren.

The woman said she left the area in the hopes of diffusing the situation, but the man followed her and continued to verbally harass her and threatened her with physical violence.

Two witnesses confirmed the woman’s story. A witness reported the suspect’s license plate.

The victim said he parked at the restaurant around 7 p.m. and returned to his car around three hours later. The rear passenger window of his truck had been smashed and his computer bag, along with a laptop, was missing.

The victim said he did not believe anyone could see the bag through his tinted windows.

Caretaker reports fraud on client’s bank card MILTON, Ga. — A caretaker alerted Milton Police May 2 that a woman under her care had fraudulent charges appear on her debit card.

The caretaker was contacted by a company advising the woman’s debit card had been used for more than $500 in fraudulent purchases. No location was given for the charges which were listed as “business services.”

The caretaker said she holds on to the card for the woman at all times and the card was still in her possession.

Motorcyclist reports driver fired gun in his direction ALPHARETTA, Ga. — Police are investigating an April 21 incident in which a motorcyclist reported the driver of a car had fired a shot in his direction on Ga. 120 near Ga. 400.

The motorcyclist said he had been

traveling from Avalon to Ga. 120 that evening, when a car almost collided with him. He said the car had blown through two stop lights before nearly hitting him.

The motorcyclist said he then caught up with the car and, at a stop light, asked the driver why they had almost hit him.

Instead of answering, the driver pulled out a handgun. The motorcyclist, afraid, drove off and reported hearing what sounded like a gunshot.

The motorcyclist was not injured.

Business loses thousands to fraudulent transaction ALPHARETTA, Ga. — A woman called police April 25 after she discovered that someone had fraudulently transferred $73,000 out of a local business’ bank account.

The woman manages finances for Holon Solutions, a software company that sells programs to medical records facilities. When she checked the company’s bank account on April 25, she noticed that someone had made the $73,000 transfer two days earlier.

The woman called the bank, and a representative said the suspect had become an authorized person on the account on April 18.

The woman said she did not recognize the name and only two people are authorized users on the account. She added that the bank is supposed to contact her regarding requests to become an authorized user, but she had not been contacted.

Alpharetta, Milton adjust policies to preserve youth travel teams Cities continue talks to restore reciprocal park use arrangement

By PATRICK FOX pat@appenmediagroup.com ALPHARETTA, Ga. — While negotiations continue this week over a reciprocal parks agreement between Milton and Alpharetta, officials in both cities have taken steps to preserve the youth athletic travel teams formed under the old arrangement.

The Alpharetta City Council voted recently to extend for 12 months a provision of the agreement whereby Milton youths are “counted as residents” in the formation of youth travel teams.

The action coincides with a decision by the Milton Parks and Recreation Advisory Board to extend the same status for Alpharetta youths who have participated in its travel team program. Milton’s decision, however, provides residential status to those Alpharetta youths through the duration of their participation in the youth sport, allowing them to basically “age-out” for as long as they remain in the program.

Road: Continued from Page 1 The Florida-T was constructed with $200,000 in GDOT funds with a $75,000 match from Milton.

Another project near downtown Crabapple is the future Charlotte Drive extension. The project will extend Charlotte Drive from the intersection of Mayfield Road to Birmingham Highway.

Leaders said the right-of-way acquisition is being finalized and the city hopes to begin construction by the end of the month.

Milton will begin right-of-way acquisition for intersection improvements at Hopewell Road at Hamby Road, and at Thompson Road and Bethany Bend/

Officials in both cities said they hope their measures blunt the effects of the lapsed overall parks agreement which expired in January. Under that agreement, negotiated six years ago, youths were given resident status in both cities and were charged reduced rates from those participating from other cities.

In 2018, Milton residents accounted for 14,300 registrations for Alpharetta-based recreation programs, while 413 Alpharetta residents participated in Milton-based park programs. During that time, the City of Milton paid Alpharetta $453,100 in fees to compensate for their youths’ lower fees.

Under this latest measure, youth sports participants from outside each city will still have to pay higher non-resident fees, but the makeup of the teams can remain similar to those in the past.

Both cities require travel teams consist of at least 50 percent residents.

Organizations affected by dissolution of the residency requirements include Alpharetta Youth Softball Association; Alpharetta Youth Baseball Association; North Atlanta Football League and Ambush Soccer.

Alpharetta Parks and Recreation Director Morgan Rodgers said youth sports organizers indicated that they feared Bethany Way. The projects are in the preliminary design phase, Leaders said.

A culvert replacement project will require a detour along Birmingham Road over the summer.

Leaders said the detour is slated to begin May 24 and end Aug. 1 with the full construction completed by October, depending on weather and the contractor, CMES Inc. A section of Birmingham Road will be closed during this time between Freemanville Road and Henderson Road. Eastbound traffic along Birmingham Road will be required to turn left on Fremanville Road before turning right on Henderson Road and rejoining Birmingham. Westbound traffic will circumvent the construction area by turning right onto Henderson Road and rejoining Birmingham at the intersection of Freemanville Road.

they would lose many of the players who had been on the same teams for years.

“If we take all the Milton guys away, a lot of our teams are in the 40 percent mark with Alpharetta residents, so they can’t play,” Rodgers said. ”Those teams that have formed for a couple of years are going to go play somewhere else rather than going in and saying ‘you can’t play on our team anymore because they changed the rules.’ This gives our travel teams a chance to take a breath, then they can make a decision as to what they’re going to do in the coming year.”

Alpharetta Mayor Jim Gilvin said he thinks the talks between the two cities are going well.

“It’s difficult to comment with negotiations in progress,” he said. “As cities, we both realize there’s an opportunity to have better programs in partnership.

It’s just a matter of finding terms we can both agree to.”

For its part, Milton, a city barely 10 years old, is far better off in its parks inventory than it was six years ago when the reciprocal agreement was made with Alpharetta. Over the course of the past two years, the city has acquired some 380 acres of public land through a $25 million greenspace bond passed by Milton voters

in 2016. At least another 100 acres is now in the final stages of purchase.

Still, the city is strapped for parks that include facilities for youth sports.

Greenspace bond money can only be used for land or improvements designed for passive use.

Instead, the city has explored partnerships with local entities, such as schools or churches, for rights to share sports facilities.

Meanwhile, Milton Mayor Joe Lockwood said he has to look out for Milton taxpayers who had been picking up the tab of supplementing the city’s youth participation in the Alpharetta programs.

Over the years, he said, the contract amount has grown to a point where fairness to the local taxpayers has to be considered. That money, he added, could be used to grow the city’s own youth activities.

At the same time, though, he said he still hopes an equitable arrangement can be negotiated that works for both cities and benefits kids in Milton and Alpharetta.

“We’re both trying to find a win-win, so that it’s not only fair to each city but helps citizens on both sides,” Lockwood said. “We kind of look at it as we’re all one big community.”

Traversing Milton’s new completed road projects • Green Road/Crabapple Road: The Florida-T intersection is now complete at Green Road and Crabapple Road and is one of just a few such intersections in North Fulton.

The Florida-T allows west and east through traffic along Crabapple to flow freely with the addition of a left turn lane from Crabapple onto Green Road and a receiving lane for drivers turning left from Green Road onto Crabapple.

A left and right turn lane has been added on Green. Those taking a left from Green to Crabapple are required to yield to westbound through traffic and eastbound cars turning left onto Green Road. Drivers turning left onto Green yield to westbound through traffic on Crabapple.

• Crabapple Road/Crabapple Chase/

Heritage Walk roundabout: While the dual-lane roundabout in downtown Crabapple at Heritage Walk has been open for months, some drivers are still unsure of which lane to enter if they are traveling through along Crabapple Road.

According to Milton Transportation Engineer Sara Leaders, either lane is acceptable. The dual entry lanes were constructed for future increased traffic volumes and to mitigate backups along Crabapple Road.

With increased traffic, inside lanes (closer to the center of the roundabout) will likely be used for through traffic if there is a substantial number of cars using the roundabout to access Crabapple Chase or Heritage Walk.

Does your bank make you feel this way?

Fulton Schools select Tenn. administrator as new superintendent

BY CANDY WAYLOCK candy@appenmediagroup.com

Our customers gave us a 98%satisfaction rate.

How do you feel about your bank?

The Fulton County Board of Education formally approved the hiring of Michael “Mike” Looney, Ph.D., as the district’s new superintendent last week, offering a three-year contract worth over $400,000 annually.

Looney was named the district’s sole finalist in mid-April.

State law mandates a 14-day period before a final vote can be taken.

In announcing the appointment, Board President Linda Bryant said Looney’s experience and approach to education are the right fit for the district.

LOONEY “We have great confidence and optimism in his abilities,” Bryant said. “[Dr. Looney] has shown the willingness to be transparent, listen to the community, comes with a track record of results in student achievement and is thoughtful in his approach toward teaching and learning.”

Fulton County Schools has been under the interim leadership of Cindy Loe since December when former superintendent Jeff Rose stepped down.

Looney said he spent the past few weeks visiting schools and meeting staff, students, parents and community members and came away impressed with the interactions.

“As I was going through the interview process, I heard from the board how incredibly talented Fulton County students are and about the dedicated teachers, principals and staff,” Looney

Michael Looney’s contract Terms: June 17, 2019 through June 16, 2022 Base Salary: $329,900 (235 day calendar) Vacation Days: 20 with option to buy back 10 ($14,000) Sick Days: Option to buy back 10 ($14,000) Retirement Contribution: $32,900 (10 percent of salary) Expense Allowance: $15,000 Automobile Allowance: $9,600 said. “When I visited, I saw this firsthand and became even more excited about serving this community.”

He said he plans to spend the next three months getting to know the school community even better and familiarizing himself with the district’s Strategic Plan 2022 – the Board’s blueprint for success.

“My first job will be to evaluate what is working well and what challenges Fulton Schools have to tackle in order to improve for the future,” said Looney.

Looney has been the superintendent of schools in Williamson County, Tenn., for the past 14 years, and in the education field for a total of 25 years.

He earned a Doctorate in Educational Administration from the University of Alabama and holds two masters’ degrees in education leadership endorsement and education from Jacksonville State University. In 2015 Looney was named Tennessee Superintendent of the Year by his peers.

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 vote was 4-3.

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, who died Sunday, was absent each time the matter was considered.

Darnell had represented South Fulton on the County Commission since 1992.

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.

“We’ve done a lot of things to help address some of the shortfalls we saw a few years ago.”

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.

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.

Fulton County OKs feasibility study for new animal shelter

By CARSON COOK carson@appenmediagroup.com

SPECIAL

FULTON COUNTY, Ga. — At their May 1 meeting, the Fulton County Commissioners voted 6-0 to spend $270,000 on a feasibility study for a new animal service facility.

The existing animal shelter is 40 years old and does not have the capacity to meet the county’s needs. Alton Adams, Fulton’s deputy chief operating officer for public safety, described the facility on Marietta Boulevard in Atlanta as “grim.”

“The building itself is well beyond its useful life in terms of housing animals,” Adams said. “We need to tear that down.

Whether we build one at that site or build a new facility somewhere else, the facility is just not adequate.”

The approved project will include studying neighboring animal facilities, needs assessment, community input, site selection, conceptual design and

cost estimates for a new facility. The study is expected to be completed in November this year.

The study was contracted to PGAL, Inc. The bulk of the funding, $250,000, was budgeted in the general fund budget and the remainder will come from capitol improvement funds.

“I’m so glad we’re doing this,” Commissioner Liz Hausmann said. “It’s long overdue. I don’t see how you could possible re-do anything in the current facility other than tearing it down.”

“This is a big county and I hope, while we maybe can only do one facility initially, that we do consider some regional type facilities especially for the adoptions,” she continued.

Adams said the study would look at where the animal take-ins and adoptions are concentrated to inform its site recommendations.

There will be a four- to six-week community input process this summer.

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 population, just to name a few of the many ethnicities and nationalities that call the city home.

“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.

Applications for transfer under open enrollment are due May 15 by

The Dazzlin’ Dames, a group of senior women, put on a Vaudeville-style show.

Special

Senior women’s dance 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 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

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

They are fabulous.”

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 makes us feel good. It’s really a very, very warm feeling.”

Though the group mostly performs in the Atlanta suburbs, they have members from across the state and are always looking for new performing spaces.

The Briefcase Brigade opens festivities with a dance to pop songs during the fifth annual Roswell Azalea Festival Gala April 30 at the Roswell Mill. The event closed out the month-long Roswell Azalea Festival with all proceeds benefitting The Cottage School Scholarship Endowment Fund.

Annual Azalea Festival closes out with gala

By JULIA GROCHOWSKI julia@appenmediagroup.com ROSWELL, Ga. — The fifth annual Roswell Azalea Festival ended its 2019 season with its signature event, the Roswell Azalea Festival Gala.

The gala, held on April 30, drew dozens of the city’s community and civic leaders to the Roswell Mill to celebrate the end of the month-long festival.

The Azalea Festival was created as a fundraiser by a think tank of women volunteers at the Cottage School, which serves students with special needs. Festival organizers continue this tradition by holding the gala in benefit of The Cottage School Scholarship Endowment Fund. “[Roswell Azalea Festival Chair] Sandy Buhler and a group of ladies got together at The Cottage School and said, ‘We need to raise some money for muchneeded scholarships for students,’” said presenter Bob Hagan. “They started it, and in the past five years, they’ve raised $75,000 for scholarships.”

Each year at the gala, Azalea Festival organizers honor a community member or organization for their contributions and service to the community. Previous honorees are the Roswell Historical Society, Bob Hagan, Dotty Etris and the Chattahoochee Nature Center. This year, the gala honored the Roswell Rotary Club for its contributions to over 30 nonprofits in the area.

“The Roswell Rotary Club is a very special service club,” Hagan said. “They do good things in this community. They do good things in this state. And, they do good things all over the world.”

The club, now in its 68th year, boasts more than 250 members who raised

over $200,000 this past year for 30 local charities. Some of the Roswell Rotary Club’s ties and service with the community include the Be THE Voice program, Interact Clubs in Roswell’s schools, partnering with the city for the annual Memorial Day ceremonies, the Honor Air program for veterans and Lunches for Learning in Honduras. Its members have helped in local causes such as ending human trafficking, raising awareness of the opioid epidemic, blood drives and local warming centers for the homeless.

Most recently, the club was honored once again as the number one club of the year for District 6900, and its president, Becky Stone, received a leadership award as the best president of District 6900.

“Roswell Rotary loves Roswell,” Stone said upon receiving the gala award. “I can promise you that this next year and the next 68 years, Roswell Rotary will continue to impact Roswell and the rest of the world. Thank you so much for honoring all of the dedicated service that Roswell Rotary has done.”

Entertainment at the gala included performances by the Briefcase Brigade and the Fly Betty Band. Sponsors included Jennifer Barnes of Keller Williams Realty, Sandy Buhler, Bob Hagan of Sterling Healthcare, Lee Heisman of Savant Comprehensive Technical Solutions, Rick and Judy Meer of Meer Electric, and Bill and Patsy Wolff.

The gala’s past honorees were also present at the celebration.

“This group continues to do so much for Roswell,” Hagan said. “We have an unbelievable community and an unbelievable city. And you, our citizens, make it better and better and better every year.”

Our customers gave us a 98%satisfaction rate.

Milton’s campaign ends with frustrating loss

By JOE PARKER joe@appenmediagroup.com MILTON, Ga. — Milton head baseball coach Jeff Heusing told his players before Thursday’s decisive Game 3 that no matter the result, he was proud of them and their accomplishments in the 2019 season.

After a frustrating, run-rule shortened game which saw the Eagles make multiple fielding errors, allow seven walks and post just one hit, Heusing stayed true to his word.

“I’m very proud of our guys, we accomplished a lot this year,” Heusing said. “I just have to commend these kids. They have worked and worked and pulled together since the first week in August. I couldn’t be happier for them.

We have a lot of personalities on this team and talent with some seniors going on to play at some high academic institutions. I couldn’t be happier for these guys.”

Milton’s accomplishments included winning the program’s first region championship in five seasons, compiling the first 20-plus win season for the program since 2013 and hosting two playoff series.

Heusing said the team’s accolades extend beyond the field, especially the leadership shown by his 10 seniors.

“The seniors are rebuilding the legacy this year, and we took a big step in the right direction,” he said. “But it’s not just wins or championships, there’s a lot of things that go on behind the scenes.

We restructured some of our values, rebuilt our culture in the locker room, and the seniors were the leaders and set the tone.”

Heusing is optimistic for the program’s future.

“I think we have turned a corner and are building some great things,” Heusing said. “It didn’t go our way this year, but we’ll get back at it and be ready for next year.”

Milton’s season ended with Thursday’s loss after the Eagles and Hawks split their May 1 doubleheader.

Both teams traded runs throughout Game 1 and Milton tied the contest at 7-7 with an RBI double from Stephen Michaels in the bottom of the sixth.

Curt McDonnel reached in the bottom of the seventh after being hit by a pitch on a full count to put the winning run on base. Logan Jones then seized the moment with a walk-off double to give Milton the early edge in the series.

for the Eagles in relief, throwing two innings with three hits and two earned runs allowed with five strikeouts.

After compiling eight hits in Game 1, the Eagles were held to just four hits and one run on a bases-load hit batter in Game 2.

Mill Creek built an early 5-0 lead in Game 3 behind a Milton error, a basesload walk, two RBI singles and a sacrifice fly in three innings. The Eagles used five pitchers in the contest, but walks, two crucial Milton errors and Mill Creek hits allowed the Hawks to continue piling on the runs.

The Eagles only hit of Game 3 was single by Curt McDonell in the second inning.

“A lot of credit to Mill Creek and [head coach] Doug Jones, he’s a legend,” Heusing said. “They had us playing catch up from the first inning of the second game. We took the first one but really couldn’t get our legs under us in the second one. And today we had some tough breaks, and we walked a few guys.”

Milton compiled a 23-9 overall record this season.

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.

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.

The New Strong Gaining control over your fitness and your life

For many people, aging equals lower metabolism, weight gain and less energy for activities you enjoy.

This is directly related to loss of lean muscle.

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

It doesn’t matter how old you are or whether you haven’t exercised in years. You can still regain lean muscle that improves your shape and increases your metabolism.

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

What is meaningful exercise?

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

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

Unless activity is demanding, it is practically worthless from an exercise perspective. However, if an activity is sufficiently demanding to take the targeted muscles to momentary failure, then it qualifies as meaningful exercise.

Muscle failure should be viewed as a means of signaling the body that it needs to get stronger in order to meet the demands being placed upon it.

What is the SuperSlow Zone solution?

The SuperSlow Zone protocol is the original and genuine slow-motion, personal strength training workout. The exercise protocol has been proven successful in both building muscle and increasing resting metabolism, thus allowing the body to burn more calories at rest.

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

SuperSlow Zone is helping adults get fit for life!

THE NEW

STRONG

Get a total body workout in just 20 minutes, 1 – 2 times a week!

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-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.

Dr. Lee B. Padove is a board certified cardiologist at Northside Hospital, whose special interests include cardiac evaluation and treatment during pregnancy.

Northside Hospital’s Maternal Heart Health Clinic educates women about their risk factors and screens them to detect the early development of cardiovascular disease before it progresses.

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.

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-

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.

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.

@KNIGHTSBBALL12/TWITTER

St. Francis’ seniors pose following the end of the Knights’ memorable season which ended May 2 in the second round of the state playoffs. St. Francis set a program record with 21 wins this season.

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 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.

Blessed Trinity sweeps LaGrange (4-0, 9-3): Blessed Trinity used a nohitter 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 full-count 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.

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.

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.

The Paladins jumped out to a 7-1 lead in the top of the fourth inning and kept scoring pace with Mt. Vernon over the last three innings.

Fellowship compiled 20 hits in the game. Isaac Bouton batted 4-5 with two RBIs, Preston Joye batted 3-4 with two RBIs and two doubles and Cameron Gill batted in three runners.

Matson Grose earned the win with a five-inning performance allowing nine hits and three earned runs.

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

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.

CADNET ADS

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.

800 numbers may or may not reach Canada.
