Cambridge marching band leaves for Grand Nationals

MILTON, Ga — The Milton community gathered at Cambridge High School for a send-off ceremony Nov. 11 for the Cambridge High School Marching Band before it headed for the Grand Nationals, Nov. 14-16, in Indianapolis.
Speakers at the ceremony included the president of the band booster club, Cindy Roberts, Milton Mayor Peyton Jamison, Fulton County School Board member Lillie Pozatek, Cambridge High Principal Ashley Agans and Marching Band Director Daniel Scott.
“Legacy is built through
community,” Scott said.
Following the performance, Scott said that in his four years heading the group, “it’s been amazing to see seniors, my first group of freshman, end their band careers with the culmination of all their hard work in Grand Nationals.”
He said his experience at Grand Nationals as a high school freshman was what led him to be a drum major and eventually a band director.
“That’s the reason I’m standing here in this moment, I know this competition will create the same energy for them,” Scott said.

Woman shopper sought in repeated theft cases
MILTON, Ga. — A Target employee reported to police Nov. 11 that a woman entered the store on four different days and shoplifted a total of $550.
The employee told police the suspect shopped for miscellaneous items, brought them to the self-checkout lane and scanned an unidentified barcode that was in the palm of her hand numerous times. The report says the suspect never actually scanned the items taken but scanned a barcode of lesser value and passed all points of sale without paying for the actual items stolen.
The suspect lifted an assortment of clothing, jewelry, hygienic products, sports equipment and food.
The employee provided police with several videos and still shots of the suspect committing the thefts.

Driver flees from arrest for speeding on Morris
MILTON, Ga. — A 31-year-old Milton man fled from police Nov. 8 after they placed him under arrest for speeding on Morris Road.
Police clocked the suspect driving nearly 20 mph over the posted speed limit in a green Chrysler Town & Country, according to the incident report.
When police pulled the suspect over, the driver said he did not have a driver’s license and that he was taking the car to get gas because his uncle, the car owner, told him to.
The suspect also told police he was on probation for a misdemeanor violation.
Police found that the suspect had 23
counts of driver’s license suspensions since 2014, the latest being in August.
Once police placed him in handcuffs, the suspect twisted, jerked his arm and took off running, the report says. After the suspect fell multiple times, police were able to grab him but he continued to try and break free.
Police charged the suspect with speeding, driving while license suspended and two counts of willful obstruction of a law enforcement officer. He was transported to the North Fulton County Jail in Alpharetta.

Milton homeowner reports signs of attempted burglary
MILTON, Ga. — A Milton man reported to police Nov. 8 that he thinks someone recently attempted to break into his home on Latitude Cove.
The man told police that a week before, he arrived home and noticed a dent at the top of one of his garage doors and a screw on the ground outside the door, which had been missing from an inner part of the garage.
The man said after noticing the pry marks, nothing appeared to be missing inside, according to the incident report.
While at the scene, police noticed black powder underneath the dent, which the man believed to be from a crowbar rubbing against the garage door, the report says.
The man said he hadn’t seen any other suspicious activity recently but that other residents in the area have reported people kicking on their doors and garages.

Woman charged with DUI after bystanders take keys
ALPHARETTA, Ga. — A 56-year-old Milton woman was arrested on driving under the influence charges Oct. 30.
Police were dispatched to Clubhouse Drive at Lake Shore Overlook about 7
p.m. after callers reported a driver who appeared drunk trying to drive onto the curb, according to an Alpharetta police report.
A blue Subaru was in the middle of the roadway when officers arrived. Witnesses said they had removed the driver’s keys.
The driver smelled of alcohol, according to the report. Her eyes were bloodshot and glassy, and her speech was slowed and slurred.

Cumming man arrested as suspect in shoplifting
ALPHARETTA, Ga. — A 38-year-old Cumming man was arrested on a shoplifting charge Oct. 29.
Police arrested the man about two months after a shoplifting was reported at a North Point Mall department store, according to an Alpharetta police report.
On their way to the store Sept. 8, officers saw a vehicle matching the description provided in the preliminary call. Police tracked the vehicle on the city’s FLOCK surveillance cameras as the officers continued to the store.
Department store employees told officers a man left with items concealed under his clothing.
Two pairs of pants and a shirt valued at $202 were reported stolen.
Police discovered a vehicle matching the report’s description abandoned on Deerfield Parkway.
The man arrested by police in October was the registered owner.

Cambridge defeats Dunwoody in double overtime thriller
By ANNABELLE REITER annabelle@appenmedia.com
DUNWOODY, Ga — The Cambridge Bears travelled to Dunwoody High School Nov. 12 to face off against the Wildcats. In their meeting last season, the Bears dominated 63-56 without trailing.
This season, with the addition of senior guard Avery White, a transfer from Milton High School, Cambridge looked to widen the gap. Dunwoody came in with a defensive plan to shut White down and consequently forced the ball into senior Christian Frasier’s hands, who ended the match with a game-high 28 points.
White found his shots, though, and made it to the free throw line, notching 17 points and contributing seven rebounds, three assists, two blocks and two steals for the Bears. Unafraid of the moment, he found himself with the ball in his hands in clutch moments. White and the Bears took home the win, 77-72, after two overtime periods.
The Wildcats lived and died by the three, making 11 more attempts than the Bears. Long-range shots kept them in the game with a made shot
very important to me to motivate my teammates to play hard on defense,” he said. “Defense creates offense, defense wins championships. I know we have a good chance of winning any game where we are motivated on the defensive end. We’re a gritty team, compete together, play together, play hard.”
Cambridge head coach David Akin also had good things to say about the Bears’ defense.
“I’m very proud of our guys to pull out a win,” he said. “They have really bought into playing team defense, I’m ecstatic about how aggressive and excited they are to get after opponents defensively. This is a really tough place to play, Dunwoody always plays hard and is very well-coached.”
Akin commented on anticipating a physical game and the Bears’ gameplan to aggressively attack the basket, giving some background to Dunwoody’s 26 personal fouls compared to Cambridge’s 14.
by senior Eli Merritt near the end of the first overtime, putting them up 61-60, and the three ball sealed the
loss with a miss by junior Emerson Mitchell with seconds left in the game down two.
Frasier had the first bucket of the game with a three-pointer right out of the gate. Dunwoody’s leading scorer of the night, senior guard Matt Corgile, replied immediately with a lay-up, tallying 25 points on the night.
The Wildcats led after the first quarter 18-13, capitalizing on steals and missed three-pointers by the Bears. Dunwoody had 21 transition points on the night to Cambridge’s 12.

Cambridge found their stride in the second quarter, outscoring Dunwoody 13-6. The Bears’ shots started falling and their defense tightened up.

The Bears kept rolling in the third quarter, outscoring the Wildcats 189. Cambridge was aggressive on the glass, grabbing 11 offensive rebounds to contribute 12 second-chance points, compared to Dunwoody’s eight offensive boards and seven secondchance points.
Dunwoody’s fourth quarter comeback was one for the books, scoring 20 points in the time it took Cambridge to tally 10 and tying the game at 53 with a minute remaining. Three-pointers from Merritt and Brendan Smith kept Dunwoody in the game during the fourth quarter and first overtime.
Frasier took over the second overtime, scoring the Bears’ first seven points of the period with a perimeter shot, tough turnaround jumper, then a midrange two-pointer. Senior Logan Harris then sealed the game for Cambridge with a long-range make, and the win was sweetened with free-throw makes by Frasier and senior Declan Miller.

Veterans Breakfast emphasizes service to country, community
MILTON, Ga. — Milton heard from a few speakers about the importance of serving one’s community and country during its Nov. 9 Veterans Breakfast at City Hall.
Retired Army Col. Nick Satriano kicked things off, thanking Mayor Peyton Jamison and Community Outreach Manager Emily Salerno for making the morning gathering a reality.
The chairman of the Milton Veterans Memorial Markers Association also shouted out former City Councilman Bill Lusk for the organization’s work putting up the 880 crosses honoring deceased veterans.
“Those markers represent something,” Satriano said. “We can never, as the mayor said, forget their service and sacrifices.”
The veterans’ breakfast was a community celebration, with horns from the Milton High School Orchestra, a Color Guard presentation from Boy Scout Troop 1459 and an invocation from Bob Grimaldi, deacon at St. Brendan the Navigator Catholic Church and a Navy
veteran.
“The common denominator in the room today, for everyone who sits here at 8 a.m. on a Saturday morning, is service,” Satriano said. “I want to commend everyone for their commitment to service, especially this weekend.”
Members of the Milton Fire-Rescue and Police departments were also in attendance along with a smattering of retired veterans and supportive residents.
Satriano introduced his friend and colleague Danielle Green, former military police officer, who lost her left arm after a rocket-propelled grenade launcher severed it 20 years ago in Baghdad, Iraq.
Now a spokesperson for the Wounded Warrior Project, which helps injured U.S. servicemembers get on track and become a positive force in their communities, Green detailed her own journey. From fighting for her life on an Iraqi rooftop to receiving the 2015 Pat Tillman Award for Service at the ESPY Awards and raising her 10-year-old son in Chicago, Green is now giving veterans the care they need to

be a positive force in their communities.
“I am proud to still be making a difference, despite my loss, because it’s not about this,” Green said, showing her prosthetic to the room. “It’s about moving
forward and continuing on with that journey.”
She concluded her talk by encouraging everyone to live in a way that upholds the values that veterans fought and died to protect.
Keynote speaker, Milton High School graduate and retired Marine Lt. Col. Jeff Davis spoke about leadership. After 23 years and four deployments, the former naval aviator now serves as president of the Alpharetta Rotary Club.
Davis wove a thread through current global affairs, Steve Job’s work at Apple and the importance of veterans in their communities.
He said men and women who have served leave the armed forces with valuable lessons in leadership.
“America needs your leadership and skills to help us,” Davis said. “So, my ask of every veteran here is to think about … how we can we part of ensuring that America remains bright?”

DOJ blasts Fulton County Jail for violations
APPEN MEDIA STAFF REPORTS newsroom@appenmedia.com
ATLANTA — The U.S. Department of Justice announced Nov. 14 it has determined that conditions of confinement at the Fulton County Jail violate the 8th and 14th Amendments to the U.S. Constitution, the Americans with Disabilities Act and Individuals with Disabilities Education Act.
The department’s report details findings from a comprehensive investigation of the jail, which is funded and operated by Fulton County and the Fulton County
Sheriff’s Office. The investigation included the main jail on Rice Street in Atlanta and three annex facilities: the Marietta Annex in Atlanta, the North Annex in Alpharetta and the South Annex in Union City.
The Rice Street jail currently houses around 2,000 people and in recent years has surpassed 3,000 people.
In its long list of findings of abuse or neglect, the DOJ report does not specify which of the four jails the incidents occurred. But, based on descriptions in the document and from news accounts of the incidents, most appear to have been refer -
ring to the main jail in Atlanta. Inquiries to the DOJ for clarification had not been answered by press time.
“In Fulton County, people in custody awaiting formal charges or trials frequently must protect themselves from brutal physical attacks, endure frequent excessive force, manage their wellbeing with inadequate food and unsanitary living conditions, and hope they can find access to a strained medical and mental health care program. This is unacceptable,” said U.S. Attorney Ryan K. Buchanan for the Northern District of Georgia.
Over the past two years, the report says six incarcerated people have died in violent attacks at the jail.
According to Sheriff’s Office reports, in 2023 there were 1,054 assaults on incarcerated people and 314 stabbings in the jail.
to process and hold prisoners, especially those involved in non-violent crimes. The facility has 50 beds and as of mid-August 2024, held 27 people, the DOJ stated. The North Annex has an intake and reception center, and separate housing areas for men and women. Fulton County and the Fulton County Sheriff’s Office house detainees there, particularly people who need separation from the jail population because of the nature of their charges or conflicts in the main jail.
Calls to Fulton County for a response to the report were not returned by press deadline.
According to Atlanta News First, Fulton County officials are taking the matter seriously.
In September 2022, Lashawn Thompson died alone in a filthy cell in the mental health unit of the Fulton County Jail. Thompson, who had a history of mental illness and was unhoused, was accused of spitting at a Georgia Tech police officer and arrested on a simple battery charge, then held on an old warrant. Three months after his arrest, Thompson was found in his cell, slumped over with his head on his toilet. A medical examiner reported that his malnourished body was infested with an “enormous presence of body lice,” and concluded that he was “neglected to death.”
Most municipal police agencies in North Fulton use the Alpharetta Annex
“We share the concerns that were outlined and we’re going to be working jointly, cooperatively to address them,” Fulton County Chairman Robb Pitts said, according to ANF.
Sandy Springs Police contracts, in most cases, with private providers and local governments. The City Council approved an agreement with Lumpkin County last June to house some adult inmates at its detention center. Those arrested for city ordinance violations, traffic offenses are booked at the Smyrna Jail.
Felony offenders out of Sandy Springs are booked at the Atlanta Rice Street Jail.
Sandy Springs Police Sgt. Leon Millholland said if the city court sentences an individual to one year or less, they are housed at the Lumpkin County Jail in Dahlonega.
The Art Center staff rebrands focus to expand reach
By AMBER PERRY amber@appenmedia.com
JOHNS CREEK, Ga. — The Art Center is bursting with ideas and students, leading staff to seek beyond its tiresome brick row inside the Abbotts Bridge Commons business complex.
Formerly known as the Johns Creek Arts Center, the nonprofit was recently rebranded to be more inviting to people outside the city. It also builds on a vision that includes partnerships across borders and other workspaces, maybe even a new home with a big enough roof.
Lately, conversations have centered on accommodating a growing waitlist for classes and camps, which creates a need to rent the adjacent annex and classrooms at the nearby Johns Creek Presbyterian Church.
The Johns Creek City Council has gotten the ball rolling on a performance hall that could house The Art Center, but Executive Director Stephanie Donaldson said the nonprofit is keeping its options open.
Around 180 kids are on the waiting list for the youth summer art camps and classes, like last year. Many students come from Forsyth and Gwinnett counties.
“There’s been a misnomer that we’re under Parks and Rec with the city, and you have to live here, or we’re under that umbrella,” Donaldson said. “It was time … Rebranding is not a bad thing.”
The center has remained financially independent from the city, though its arts and crafts table can often be seen at Johns Creek events.
The recent facelift involved a new logo, fashioned in the sign welcoming visitors to its some 5,000-square-foot space, as well as a new website and color palette. It was a collaborative effort, with staff member Amanda Carman taking the lead.
Before joining the small but mighty five-member staff, Carman had been with the Art Center for more than eight years as an instructor. She’s excited for the future, equipped with “fresh energy.”
“I feel like our focus is a little clearer now, making a community space, a community art center, and bringing arts to the community,” Carman said.
Donaldson joined the Art Center in 2013, moving up from a volunteer to the deputy director to her current role in 2020, right before the COVID-19 pandemic hit. She shares her office with another seasoned Art Center veteran Curator/Program Director Althea Foster.
Humble beginnings
The Art Center, founded in 1996, was first housed within the walls of the

former Warsaw Elementary School on Medlock Bridge Road. At the time, it was called the Warsaw-Ocee Arts Center.
Newspaper articles from 1997 editions of the Johns Creek Herald detail the center’s dedication and the efforts of Mark Burkhalter, the former state representative and Johns Creek native responsible for renovating the 10,000-square-foot former school.
The school had been under the threat of destruction for development.
Burkhalter, a Warsaw Elementary graduate, said there were plans to build a metal storage warehouse there.
It had sat vacant for five to six years, and Burkhalter said it was getting vandalized. He met with the owners and told them about his emotional attachment to the site.
“I told them part of the history that they didn’t even know about,” Burkhalter said.
Burkhalter said that Warsaw was one of five schoolhouses leftover from a deal with Fulton County in the 1930s. He said his passion won over the owners, who had already been frustrated with developers slated to demolish the building.
Burkhalter converted the classrooms into office space, where he works to this day, and the 3,100-square-foot cafetorium into the Art Center, an idea he and his business partner at Watkins Association Developers, Neal Freeman,
The center continues to glean most of its support from Fulton County, as one of its five legacy arts organizations, receiving around $200,000 a year, in addition to grants through organizations like the Georgia Council for the Arts and the Community Foundation of Greater Atlanta.
Fulton County Arts and Culture Director David Manuel said the county sees the Art Center’s new programs and new ideas, lauding how vocal Art Center Board President Nil Chanda is as a member of the Fulton County Arts Council.
The 15-member council, appointed by the Board of Commissioners, advises the elected officials on arts and cultural related policy.
“We get proposals from them, saying, ‘Hey, in 2025 I would like to introduce this. What do you think?’” Manuel said. “It’s that give-andtake communication that I think is strengthening the foundation of the Art Center.”
The goal of Fulton County, he said, is to support good programming, good ideas intended to support the community.
set in motion.
“I don’t think we had a library on this side of [Ga.] 400. We certainly didn’t have an art center, and we were just kind of a no-man’s land, partially because Fulton County just didn’t spend a lot of money out here,” said Burkhalter, known for pushing for Johns Creek’s incorporation.
Under the auspices of a fresh LLC, Warsaw School Preservation Co., Burkhalter said he purchased the site for about $1 million and spent close to half a million on renovations. Another $40,000 went toward saving the oldest tree in North Fulton County, also on the site.
“I went out of my way to save the tree, and not just the school,” Burkhalter said.
Partnership with Fulton
Joan Compton, president of the Johns Creek Historical Society and early board member of the nonprofit, said the center began looking for other sites that could house a kiln in 2003, relocating two years later.
Her son and daughter had been students at the Warsaw-Ocee Arts Center, which opened as a partnership between the nonprofit and Fulton County. The nonprofit broke off to introduce a wider variety of classes and welcome nonresidents at the same price, Compton said.
Diversifying offerings, artists Foster, the Art Center’s curator and program director, has been around the center in one capacity or another for around 15 years. She recalled the struggling participation level when she first joined.
“Our student/member show used to be, when I started, it was really sad,” Foster said. “There were, like, 12 pieces. You would have to beg people to come in.”
In the lobby, though, the fall student and member showcase “Artistic Encounters” boasted more than 70 works in all mediums, pulled from several of the center’s classes.
The center offers classes to all ages, some as young as 3.
It also does community outreach with local nonprofits like The Drake House and the STAR House foundation and takes classes to seniors at Park Place, an adult center in Newtown Park.
The center also hosts an annual pop-up holiday market.
A new offering at the Art Center is the Creator’s Circle, a free open studio held every Friday.
About half a dozen have shown up, bringing their own supplies. Foster created the new program with Carman, who shared its importance within the context of “post-pandemic loneliness,” which created the need to connect with one another in real, physical spaces.

The center’s growth is reflected in numbers, offerings and diversity.
Foster recalled being the only Black person around the center.
“Now, in my clay class, which I take on Friday, all of the people in that particular class are people of color,” Foster said, adding that youth classes are just as diverse.
This year, the Art Center introduced its first Korean art exhibition, opened after its Black History-centered show.
“Just to be seen…” Foster said.
She said there was an older man, a Korean migrant, who was struck by a sculpture of a traditional house made of hanji, a traditional medium of plant fiber. He began explaining how each of the rooms work.
“It was extremely moving because a lot of them hadn’t seen things like that since they got here, and there had never been an exhibition of just their work,” she said.
Looking to the future
More is in store for the Art Center, in its search to expand.
Since becoming president of the Art Center Board, Chanda said he has been looking to grow the nonprofit’s presence. He was attracted to the organization because of its service to the community, “bringing wellness into the picture through art and culture.”
“I want to see it grow into a regional arts center, where we are not restricting ourselves to the neighboring cities and counties, but we are able to service the growing need of the whole region,” Chanda said.
He attributes the organization’s growth to the amount of synergy it has with the community, subscribed to its mission and goal.
“All of Johns Creek came together and we built it together,” Chanda said. “It’s not only the staff, it’s not only the board, but what has changed is that we have new momentum.”
That push involves looking at the old and the new, he said, bringing lessons from the past and moving with them into the future.

Johns Creek artist helps launch South Asian exhibition
FULTON COUNTY, Ga. — The art and culture reception “Unity in Diversity” on Nov. 8 marked the start of a two-month art exhibition featuring the work of 15 South Asian artists from Metro Atlanta.
Afreen Khundmiri, a Johns Creek-based artist and vice president of The Art Center Artist Guild, organized the soldout event at the Fulton County Government Center. It drew 300 people, including Fulton County Commissioner Natalie Hall and Fulton County Arts and Culture Director David Manuel.
The event was historic in scale, bringing together 15 visual artists, 40 models showcasing the fashion collection of four local designers, and 10 cultural performances.
In another groundbreaking achievement, Afreen’s clothing line Roya’Elle made its debut in September at the prestigious Atlanta Fashion Week’s “Faces of Fashion” opening reception, where she became the first woman of Indian descent to present her line at the annual event.
Roya’Elle is more than just a brand. Khundmiri says it’s a tribute to her heritage, blending traditional South Asian artistry with modern design to celebrate both her Asian roots and her journey in the United States.
Through initiatives like Roya’Elle and “Unity in Diversity,” Khundmiri says she continues to inspire audiences, breaking cultural barriers and setting new standards for inclusivity in the arts.

ALICE LEE, co-founder, Kimchi
Patrons flock to Korean eatery for award-winning chicken
By JON WILCOX jon@appenmedia.com
ALPHARETTA, Ga. — Alice Lee was confused by the line wrapping around Kimchi Red.
On July 6, 2023, the Korean restaurant was suddenly inundated with customers. When Lee asked those in line what brought them there, they said they were eager to try the best fried chicken in the country.
“I thought they were really being sarcastic,” Lee said, smiling. “And I was like, ‘Well, you know, I never said we were No. 1, but our chicken is good.’”
Lee’s customers informed her that Yelp, the ubiquitous online business review site, had just awarded her Alpharetta restaurant the top spot in the nation for fried chicken. News outlets in Atlanta, the nation and even Korea followed suit.
“It was unbelievable,” Lee said.
The Yelp award and sudden attention that followed recognized something Lee already knew, she said. For the past two years, Kimchi Red had quietly earned fame among locals with its delectable fried chicken and other mouth-watering Korean-inspired dishes.
Lee and her husband Joey W. Lee opened the first Kimchi Red in Alpharetta in 2021, Alice Lee said. They opened the restaurant because their wholesale business was busy only half the year.
Lee’s husband had often cooked Korean and American food for church and charity events and was eager to try his hand with a business.
But they quickly realized just how hard the culinary industry could be.
“We were closed more than we were open for the first six months,” Lee said.
During that time, the Lees found help from their faith in God and within their own family. Their daughter Madison, now 20, helped them establish a presence on social media. Their son Joshua, now 14, occasionally pitched in with extra work.
Lee said she and her husband depended on God during the difficult time and sought divine guidance in every business decision.
“Honestly, we wouldn't be here if it wasn't for God's direction and planning,” she said.
For example, the Lees decided their menu item should be cooked only with the best and freshest ingredients. Name brand products are selected over generics, and the fried chicken is made only with fresh chicken, which is marinated for 24 hours. They replace their frying oil every day.
“If by chance, we receive a box of frozen chicken, we send it back,” Lee said. “We're very meticulous.”
Before long, the food began to speak for itself, and word spread, Lee said. Sometimes, the Lees would accidentally leave the lights on at the

“They loved the food. They said, ‘It's so flavorful. It's so good,’” she said. “They loved the chicken. They loved the beef, and they just loved the food in general, and that was very humbling.”
That success led them to open a Johns Creek location with plans to debut a third in Peachtree Corners in February.
Their menu also includes Korean staples like galbi beef short ribs, sweet and savory bulgogi beef, kimchi fried rice, a cheesy and spicy buldak ramen and intensely flavorful kimchijjigae soup.
Marietta resident Caryn Hatton and Bryan Pham from Johns Creek said they love the fried chicken, but the other menu items are just as strong.
“We've tried pretty much everything,” Hatton said.
The buldak ramen, another favorite with Hatton and Pham, comes in different levels of spiciness. Pham said he prefers the noodles “super spicy,” while Hatton orders it at a more moderate level.
“It really complements it very well with the fried chicken,” Pham said. “They also have the egg on top. It's a runny egg, and that makes it better, too.”
Korean food is special because it balances so many flavors, and it’s no wonder the cuisine is trending with Americans, Lee said.
“There's salty and sweet and spicy and savory and rich, and it's all there with different menu items,” she said. “I think that's what makes it so attractive.”
Lee said she is proud to see the popularity of Korean culture sweeping through her community, the nation and world. Foods like Kimchi, pop artists like BTS and movies like 2020 Academy Award winner “Parasite” are now mainstream.
“The Korean culture is very inviting, very welcoming,” she said. “We have a lot to offer.”

By ANNABELLE REITER annabelle@appenmedia.com
ROSWELL, Ga — Roswell High School’s storied football program still has stars left in their senior class that have not yet committed to college play. The team is ranked No. 12 in Georgia, but their score for strength of schedule ranks second among the top 20.
The team has an 8-2 record, with the only losses coming to Milton (ranked No. 2 in the country) and Buford (No. 12 in the country). Roswell put up the second-most points of any opponent against Buford this season during their game Sept. 6, and the third-highest of the season against Milton Nov. 1.
The Hornets handed Gainesville one of its three losses this season, defeating the Red Elephants 48-45 on Oct. 25. The only other teams Gainesville has lost to are undefeated.
Roswell is a team to watch going into the postseason.
Here are five players to watch:
Nytrevain Davenport (No. 1)
A two-way, get-it-done type player. Davenport’s older brother, Nykahi, was a standout receiver for the Hornets,

Three Raider players earn all-state honors
By ANNABELLE REITER annabelle@appenmedia.com
ALPHARETTA, Ga — Alpharetta High School’s girls volleyball team continues to rack up wins, even after capturing the state title Nov. 2 with a win over North Cobb.
Three Alpharetta athletes have been named to the all-state first team, sweetening their final moments of high school volleyball even more before they move on to Division I competition next fall.
Abigail Li, Brooke Boyles, and Madison McLin took home all-state honors at the ceremony held by Georgia Volleyball Coaches Association Nov. 9.
The three have been pillars of Alpharetta’s two consecutive state titles in 2023 and 2024.
Brooke Boyles, the player of the year, ended her four years with 404 sets played, 1,161 kills, 1,017 digs, 201 aces, and 65 total blocks. The Long Island University commit tallied nearly 400 kills this season alone, leading the

Madison McLin logged her 406th and final set during the state championship against North Cobb. The Tulane commit recorded 768 kills and 182 total blocks as a Raider, notably including a championshipwinning block in 2023 and the spike that was returned out-of-bounds for the last point of the 2024 title game.

Grant Cook (No. 4)

Estate planning is essential for anyone with a business
Running a business is more than just a day-to-day operation; it's an investment in your future and your employees, clients, and family. Without a solid estate plan, the fruits of your labor could be at risk. Estate planning isn't just about drafting a will or setting up a trust—it's about creating a comprehensive strategy to ensure your business continues to thrive, even in your absence, mental incompetency, or in the event of a lawsuit. Estate planning allows you to define your wishes clearly regarding business succession, ensuring that your vision for the company is upheld. It provides a roadmap for how your business should be managed, including critical decisions on operations, investments, and strategic direction, reflecting your values and goals. Estate
planning is not just a financial or legal obligation— it's a strategic tool that helps ensure the legacy of your business endures, while also protecting your loved ones and minimizing potential conflicts and lawsuits. It’s about making sure that the business you've built with dedication and hard work continues to thrive and serve its purpose long after you’re gone. So, take the time to create a comprehensive estate plan and safeguard the future of your business and the people who depend on it.

The Bears will compete against the most talented high school bands in the country. It is one of two bands from Georgia attending this year, and the only one from Fulton County. Addressing the crowd of about 100 Milton community members, Scott said only eight Georgia schools have gone to Grand Nationals in the past 10 years.
“Building a legacy is about making your future self proud,” Scott said. “When you’re 35, and you have kids, what do you want them to know about what you did and what you loved?”
Cambridge Marching Band director Daniel Scott delivers remarks before the band takes the field Nov. 11 for a send-off performance.
Parents and fans were no less enthusiastic.
“The show is absolutely amazing to see it from July to now,” said Booster Club President Cindy Roberts, the parent of a senior in the band. “You’ll be blown away.”
Drum major Whittaker Donovan said hard work has paid dividends.
“I’m extremely proud of all of the work the entire band program has put in and growing from regionals experiences to now Grand Nationals,” Donovan said. “I’m really excited to be ending with it.”
He said Scott repeatedly emphasizes laying a solid path for future members of the program.

A day marked by major strides in women’s sports with the announcement of a women’s professional lacrosse league sponsored by the Premier Lacrosse League, was sweetened in Milton with the signing of nine female athletes (and Declan) to play their sport at the next level.
Athletes like Jenna Lundstedt will play at the highest level in the sport while they are in college. This was the case for women’s hockey until 2023, when a professional league was founded. The new women’s lacrosse league will be functioning by the time Lundstedt graduates from USC, affording her the opportunity to compete professionally.
Professional men’s lacrosse has a longer history, with the first league founded in 1986, though the National Lacrosse League competes a downsized version from the high school and college game with a smaller field and fewer athletes. The league sponsoring the new women’s league was founded 30 years later, sporting a professional version of high school and college lacrosse and bigger fields.
Women’s sports are going up with no brakes in sight. These nine ladies are contributing to
the exponential growth that will only continue to expand.
“All the hard work and dedication I put in over these four years was so worth it,” Lundstedt said.
“Everything has paid off.” Lundstedt and the Bears lacrosse team will compete as reigning champions this spring, hoping to bring home back-to-back titles.

OPINION
100 most influential people
RAY APPEN Publisher Emeritus ray@appenmedia.com
No. 21. CRISPR. In 2020, Jenifer Doudna and Emmanuelle Charpentier were awarded the Nobel Prize in chemistry for their work on CRISPR technology — essentially technology that facilitates gene editing — something with countless applications in science, medicine, and agriculture, to name just a few. Examples include the creation of disease-resistant and drought-resistant grains; correcting mutations at the DNA level for people with genetic disorders that cause diseases like sickle cell anemia; and potentially the eradication of diseases such as malaria by modifying the genes of malaria-causing mosquitos to make them sterile. Of note, use of CRISPR significantly contributed to the development of the successful vaccines for COVID-19.
No. 22. Moore’s Law (1965 - ?). In 1965 Gordon Moore, co-founder of Intel and Fairchild Semiconductor, observed/predicted that the number of transistors that can fit on a computer chip will double roughly every two years, with a minimal increase in cost. That is, computers will get smaller and process faster without costing significantly more. The smallest transistors currently being manufactured (by IBM) for commercial use are 2 nanometers, about the width of several atoms, a size that facilitates placement of roughly 50 billion transistors on a chip the size of a fingernail. The iPhone you own has more computing power and more storage capacity than main frame computers of the past. Technology drives so much of every aspect of our lives today, and Moore’s Law is why.
No. 23. Archie Bunker. Archie and “All in the Family” creator Norman Lear could make this Top 100 list for multiple reasons. Lear was responsible for wildly popular TV shows that introduced political and social themes to millions. His shows also included “The Jeffersons,” “Maude,” “Sanford and Son,” “One Day at a Time,” Mary
Hartman, Mary Hartman” and “Good Times.” Many themes of the shows have morphed into political footballs in today’s world, sharp-edged political weapons used by politicians to attack, divide and disrupt. Lear made fun of today’s weapons. He served them out to everyone. He made us laugh without getting angry or vindictive. He tried to show us that we could be different and still be civil. How far away that seems now. How short our memories seem to be.
No. 24. Peter, Paul and Mary. “Where have all the Flowers Gone?” Peter, Paul and Mary, right? Nope. Try Pete Seeger; he wrote it. But they first made it a huge hit. Nope, try Marlene Dietrich — in German — in 1962. OK, PP&M did cover the song. Joan Baez, too. Geez. I had no idea. The song was an anti-Viet Nam war protest song of the ’60s, a song about lost innocence, soldiers dying, flowers on graves. It wasn’t the only one. So, Seeger wrote it in 1962, and we’ve been at war ever since. The same thing keeps happening; that’s why PP&M are on the list — to remind us about that. How many young people today have a clue?
No. 25. Dr. Seuss.
Theodor Seuss Geisel (19041991) was a beloved author of children’s books, an illustrator, and (surprise) an advertising professional (prior to his Dr. Seuss career). He is on the list because he represents a time, an attitude, and a sense of possibility that was “ours” before cynicism, snark and animosity took over. His best-selling book: “Green Eggs and Ham.” Total sales of Dr. Seuss: over 600 million worldwide (in more than 50 languages). He taught us much about ourselves: “Today you are you! That is truer than true. There is no one alive who is you-er than you.” Amen.
No. 26. Time’s Person of the Year. This list,
which began in 1927 with Charles Lindberg on the cover, surely is a good list for any Top 100 most important people and events. That being said, here are some fun facts about Time’s list: Person of the Century: Albert Einstein. The only person to be named three times: FDR. Individuals named twice: Barack Obama, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan, Mikhail Gorbachev, Dwight Eisenhower, Joseph Stalin, Winston Churchill. Number of times a woman has been named: 9 (out of 97). Last two women named: Greta Thunberg (2019), Taylor Swift (2023).
No. 27. Charles Schulz. Wrote “Peanuts” from 1950 to 2000 and is generally seen as the most influential cartoonist in history. Total “Peanuts” strips published: 17,897. Who didn’t hold their breath when Lucy would convince Charlie Brown into trying to kick the football one more time? Who didn’t hope, for once, that she wouldn’t pull it away at the last second? We all did.
No. 28. Conspiracy theories. I hate to add this one to my list because their impact on society is worse than cancer; worse than pandemics; brings out the worst in humanity. Yes, vaccines do work. No, he didn’t win the 2020 election. Yes, there is global warming that is destroying our ecosystem. No, the hurricanes this year were not generated or controlled by the government. Ad nauseum.
No. 29. “The Sound of Music”. I added this to the list because I wanted to end this segment on a positive note. This movie and the soundtrack is generally universally loved and presents to us something that is uniquely “us” — something precious, pure and redeeming.
No. 30. Mary Poppins. See No. 29.
PAST TENSE
Doraville’s Carver Hills community weathered development
When plans for a General Motors assembly plant were underway in the early 1940s, a community of Black families, their school and a church were displaced. Homeowners were bought out and offered land for new homes in a nearby Doraville location. General Motors bought 150 acres for the new development. Each undeveloped lot cost $2,000.
The new neighborhood was called Carver Hills, named for George Washington Carver, famous Black scientist and inventor. It was located where Peachtree Industrial Boulevard and I-285 meet.
A Nov. 27, 1949, Atlanta Journal writeup describes a neighborhood of 50 homes. Water, lights, and paved streets were included, but property owners had to find their own builder. Both a Baptist and Methodist Church were part of the new neighborhood.
In the 1960s, the homeowners were encroached upon again, this time by the construction of I-285. The highway divided the neighborhood into two sections.
In the mid-1980s a developer wanted to buy Carver Hills property to build a hotel. Homeowner Fannie Mae Jett fought the effort to build the 145room hotel, which would have blocked the view from the east side of the neighborhood.
DeKalb Superior Court Judge Clarence Seeliger rejected a developer’s claim that Carver Hills was a dying neighborhood and was best suited for commercial development. Fannie Mae Jett said of the ruling, “I don’t think anything in the world could thrill my heart like knowing that the old people will be able to live out their lives here.” (Atlanta Constitution, DeKalb Extra, Oct. 17, 1985, “Old Neighborhood in Doraville Refuses to Die”)
Then, in 1987 a new I-285 entrance ramp cut off another section of the neighborhood. (Photographic Permanent Archival Record, Carver Hills Historic District, copy held by the DeKalb History Center)
The Mt. Carmel African Methodist Episcopal Church still stands on Carver Drive where a few remaining Carver Hills homes still stand. First established in 1879, Mt. Carmel AME is the oldest African American congregation in Georgia.
New homes and townhomes have been built on the former Carver Hills location north of I-285.
In 2023, a historical marker was placed to recognize Carver Hills and the Mt. Carmel AME Church. The marker text begins, “Carver Hills, established in 1947. In the 1940s, when General Motors purchased land to build a new plant, it displaced a school, church and a number of homes belonging to members of Doraville’s African American community.”
Additional land purchased for Black families displaced by General Motors includes the Parsons Village Subdivision, platted in 1953, and the Happy Valley subdivision, platted in 1954. The name Parsons comes from the previous owners of the land. Carver Hills was the only subdivision where only Black individuals could purchase land.
Former Carver Hills residents Patricia Jett Hood and Sarah Rainey Wallace were among the former and current residents who gathered for the
2023 marker dedication to honor historic Carver Hills of Doraville. Hood attended Doraville School and Lynwood Park High School. Sarah Rainey Wallace attended Lynwood Park Elementary and High School. These were segregated DeKalb County schools for Black students. Schools in DeKalb
County were integrated in 1968. (DeKalb History Center Archives, oral history recordings of Patricia Jett Hood and Sarah Rainey Wallace)
Sarah Rainey Wallace’s parents and grandparents talked about their move when the General Motors Plant was built. People in the community planned to work at the plant. Wallace recalled that the former location of Mt. Carmel AME Church was in the middle of the once large community. That location today would be in the middle of I-285.
In a 1999 oral history of Fannie Mae Jett, she recalled that her grandfather, Bartow Langford, owned property that later became part of General Motors. The Greater Mount Carmel Church was built on her ancestor George Washington Gholston’s property. (DeKalb History Center Archives, Fannie Mae Jett)
The historical marker text continues with the history and a description of Carver Hills today, “…all that remains of the original Carver Hills neighborhood are 10 houses on Carver Drive along with Mt. Carmel AME Church and Zion Full Gospel Ministries. This plaque is a reminder of the strength and resilience of Doraville’s African American community in the face of multiple challenges over the decades. Presented by Doraville Celebration Committee 2022.”

OPINION
Two tried and true mystery series
KATHY MANOS PENN Columnist
Quite often I hear from Crier readers that they’ve enjoyed a book they discovered in my columns. Recently, though, I received an email from a Crier reader with a request: “Please consider reviewing books that take place elsewhere. Not everyone is infatuated with the dark, dreary, depressing world of the UK. It’s a big world out there! Maybe try a sunny destination with great food, like Italy.”
My reply?
“Thanks for taking the time to drop me a line. I’m not sure whether to laugh or be defensive —perhaps a bit of both. Let’s just say I consider myself very fortunate to be able to write about books I enjoy. Are they more often than not books set in the UK? Yes, though I do, on occasion, branch out.
“My most recent haul from the library includes one book set in Washington, DC, one set in California, and another in some coastal town. Perhaps reviews of them will show up in the paper down the road. “
It’s quite often the luck of the library draw as to what I read. Do I put mostly British mysteries on my hold list at the library? I must confess I do, so those show up in the paper more frequently than anything else. It’s pure chance that three of
my last four reads were set elsewhere, and now I’m returning to my favorite locale.
“Murder Takes the Stage” by Colleen Cambridge
This is Book IV in the Phyllida Bright Mystery series, and it’s the best one yet. Of course, I’m biased because it’s set in London in the 1930s, and Phyllida is Agatha Christie’s housekeeper — everything I could want in a murder mystery.
The author did a masterful job of dropping hints about Phyllida’s background in the first three books, and finally readers get some answers — not everything by any means, but enough to keep us coming back for more. We know she and Agatha were nurses together in the Great War. We know Phyllida’s not happy about being in London. She’d much prefer to be in the Devon village where Agatha Christie and her husband Max Mallowan spend most of their time. What we don’t know is why Phyllida is concerned about visiting the city.
The plot centers on murders at three London theaters, but the subplots are as intriguing as the main one. Nearly the entire household shifts to London for a few weeks, so the usual cast of characters is back. The maids, the butler, and the chauffer enjoy London to varying degrees, but as always, it’s Phyllida who gets involved in solving the murders.
I suspect Book V won’t come out for
another year, so I’ll be champing at the bit to get my hands on it. I have to know what the future holds for Phyllida.
“The Detective Inspector Skelgill Mystery Series” by Bruce Beckham
I discovered this series when a Crier reader wrote to thank me for introducing her to the Ruth Galloway series, and she told me about this one. I try to read books set where I’m vacationing, so the Skelgill mysteries fit the bill for my trip to the Lake District that year. The two of us met for coffee to exchange notes, as she was planning a trip to the Cotswolds, where I’d spent a week in 2018, and subsequently set my mystery series.
She tells me she’s jealous that I’m still working my way through the Skelgill stories since she’s long since finished them. I’m on fourteen of twenty-four and have a ways to go.
Skelgill is a rough-around-the-edges detective inspector who’s an outdoors guy. He can spend endless hours fishing, and that solitude on the water is often where he works out puzzles in his cases. He’s also a fell runner and a member of the mountain rescue squad. A fell is a hill or mountain with steep slopes and rocky terrain. And believe it or not, fell runners run up and down the mountains in the Lake District.
Part of the fun in reading these books is learning a new language. It may be British
English, but the Lake District has its own dialect, so much so, that there’s a glossary in the front of the books. The author also does an outstanding job of bringing the setting to life—the water, the mountains, the weather. I feel as though I’m there as I read.
These are police procedurals, not cozy mysteries, so if you don’t care for cursing, steer clear. The cast of characters includes Skelgill’s two detective sergeants—one a married man with kids, the other a young woman in her twenties—both from London. Of course, he has a nemesis too—a sharpdressed DI from Manchester—who would like nothing better than to get the best of Skelgill.
Though the books are described as standalone mysteries, I suggest you start at the beginning with “Murder in Adland.” As in any good series, you learn more about Skelgill and his team as the books progress. I only just found out his first name, but I’m not telling.
Happy reading.

Avoiding the oilfield meant clean fingernails
I grew up in one of the biggest oilproducing areas of the country. Looking at old photos of Kern County in central California, inevitably the landscape was full of oil derricks and pumping structures that resembled huge rocking horses.
It was more than rumored that a sure way to top off an evening of hellraising was to head for the oilfield, jump a fence and ride one of those monstrosities. I can still remember some classmate crazies describing this twisted type of rodeo. The crowd I knew had more guts than sense. The advantage to their injury-inducing chicanery was that early on, they developed personal contacts at hospital emergency rooms across the area.
Lots of high school classmates thumbed their noses at a college education, choosing to ditch textbooks and work
on the massive oil rigs that were prevalent in the county. Later on, when I’d run into them, they all had tired eyes and grime under their fingernails.
Recalling all the good times I had in high school, the word “underachiever” pretty much fits the bill. I had a lot of fun, and studying never got in the way of making people laugh and making my parents’ lives miserable, shuddering every time a teacher would call and relate tales of my latest chapter of tomfoolery.
A Spanish teacher once phoned and asked my stepdad “Doesn’t Michael get enough attention at home?”
My answer, which I found hilarious: “I might do better if that lady wasn’t constantly speaking Spanish. I told her to try a little English every now and then.”
I thought my parents had some type of nervous tic. In reality, they were just shaking their heads in pity and despair. Fact is, I didn’t care about going to college until my senior year when the prospect of spending my life in the “oil patch” seemed like a prison sentence instead of a career.
My teenage epiphany made me buckle down, feeling sad when attending senior awards activities and having to sit on my hands. One teacher who I never really cared for showed that he was not adverse to jumping on the consensus opinion of my future, when I told him I was going to attend junior college, go to a university and go to law school, he scoffed and said: “Son, you’ll be in the oilfields two weeks after graduation, that is, if you even graduate.”
I did pretty much all I set out to do post-high school education-wise, even being asked to give a speech at graduation. It’s a safe bet I had the lowest GPA of anyone on the podium at the ceremony.
Alas, I did flirt with oil-related work.
After my late Uncle Bob, a purveyor of bull butter like no other, promised me a job post-college graduation working with him on the pipeline in Alaska, I had the means to pay for a law school education. Except there was no job in Alaska. Uncle Bob disappeared and I speculated he’d been ravaged by a moose. He even changed his phone number.
Without a job for the summer, I was faced with the prospect of working for the recreation department, dodging spit wads and dirt clods from little monsters, transferring to me the terror reserved for their elementary school teachers.
I contemplated selling a kidney to finance my legal education when a lightningbolt idea came to me. I’d get a summer job at an oil refinery. It was a most-coveted, well-paying summer job.
I spent the summer of 1977 wearing overalls and working long hours at the now defunct Mohawk Refinery in Bakersfield. It was the hardest I ever worked, and the prospect of spending a working life there made me study in earnest.
Summer job experiences are priceless memories. I can’t wait to share them with you next time.

GET OUTSIDE, GEORGIA!
Hurricane reshapes familiar creek, but fish remain
It has been a busy few weeks, and fishing time has been a little short. That happens sometimes.
But we have plans for making up for lost time… plans for a leisurely day on Blankets Creek. It’s a small little stream we fish from time to time, and it happens to be home to a lot of correspondingly small fish. There’s nothing very big in there, never anything to write home about or even to brag about in an aw-shucks kind of way, usually. But catching something is usually a sure bet and always fun, even though said “something” may only be 3 inches long. It’s a great place for water therapy, and we go there when we can.
This time, the plan is to go there Thursday afternoon.
But then here comes Helene.
Hurricane Helene is in the rearview mirror now, but it left a lot of mayhem in its wake. I hurt for the folks whose lives were turned upside down. The storm’s big impacts were majorly big, and lots of people will need lots of help for a long time to come. Hereabouts, we were lucky and dodged a major bullet. But others were less fortunate. Help them how and where and when you can.
Here, closer to home, there were lesser impacts. One of them happened to affect our chosen creek. It came in the form of unrelenting precipitation, which pushed our little creek to unimaginable levels. The resulting rage of water resculpted the creek bed and reshaped the banks while grabbing up all the fallen trees within reach and sending them roaring as a seething, boiling mass right on down the channel. Some formed what will become new brush piles at intervals along the banks, and some of it piled up against a little bridge that carries one of the area’s bike trails over the
creek. It’s a wonder that the bridge survived.
But we didn’t understand that yet, not firsthand anyway.
And then comes the appointed day.
“Let’s go!” she says. “I hear fish calling my name!”
So, we make our way to the creek. We pull off Sixes Road and into the parking area and then rig up the fly rods and put on the wading shoes. Then we walk down to the trail toward the water, which soon comes into view.
And there we stop. Our creek, familiar as ever, is oddly unfamiliar, too. There’s flowing water more or less where flowing water has always been, but the flow and the contours and the very shape of the landscape is…what?
It is different. Hurricanes turn things upside down, and “different” is what remains.
“Well,” she says at last.
Sure enough. Where once there had been a graveled riffle, there is now a long, slow pool. And yonder, where there had been an undercut bank, there is now a shallow expanse of rocks and pebbles and sand. Once-wadable spots are now deep. Formerly deep spots now barely tickle our ankles. The old order changeth, sure enough, yielding an entirely new landscape that’s as foreign as it is vaguely familiar.
It is disorienting. It’ll take a while to figure this out, I think to myself. It’ll take a minute to internalize what we are seeing.
We stand there for a bit just taking it in.
“I wonder,” I say after a moment, “where are the fish?”
That part, at least, should be easy enough to figure out.
It takes her only a minute to ready her fly rod. She checks the fly, then deftly flicks the small pink foam spider toward a brand-new deep spot near a jumble of stormtossed debris.
Does it hold fish? It does. One of them drifts nonchalantly up from the depths and, without hesitation, takes the fly. A moment later she unhooks the fish and releases it, saying, “Well, that’s one!”
We continue fishing this oncefamiliar creek, finding newness around every bend. And there are lots of fish too. I’m glad they didn’t all wash away. The storm doesn’t seem to have bothered them much at all, though I do wonder what they
think about having their collective living rooms completely redone.
We fish into the early evening, finally stopping in time to catch the dollar oysters at the Salty Mule in Canton.
We make our way back upstream, returning at last to the battered bridge.
And that’s when we meet Wendy and Jennifer.
These ladies, it turns out, are moms of two bike team members who are at that very moment enjoying a ride on the area’s network of bike trails. But rather than simply sitting while their kids are riding, Wendy and Jennifer are instead cleaning up the creek. You see, the same high water that changed everything so thoroughly also washed plastic bottles, old flip-flops, half-deflated basketballs, and goodness knows what else into the creek, distributing it along the creek bed in what can only be described as a riparian rapture of oddly artistic randomness. But artistic or not, it’s still a mess – and these ladies are doing their part to clean things up. They have already filled a big, white plastic bag with trash. Now Jennifer is knee-deep in the water going for more, this time targeting a foam sandal that bobs gently in the current a yard or two upstream.
While Jennifer looks for a way through the flotsam, we chat for a while, talking about things like kids and creeks and church and poststorm clean-up. There are times, it occurs to me, when those last two might be pretty much the same thing.
After a while we turn back to the trail – “Now I hear oysters calling my name,” my wife says – for the nowshort walk back to the car.
On the way, we do a little tabulating.
“How did you do?” she asks presently. I knew that was coming.
“Oh, about a dozen,” I say, adding at last, “And you?”
“Twenty-one,” she says.
I knew that was coming, too, and the thought of it all warms my soul.
