Alleged serial flasher caught in Milton Wanted for flashing in Forsyth, Fulton counties

By KATHLEEN STURGEON kathleen@appenmediagroup.com MILTON, Ga. — After reportedly flashing multiple women at various locations, a 23-year-old man was charged with two counts of indecent exposure after being found in Milton.

Trevor Timothy Deloache was charged May 6 for allegedly exposing himself to women in convenience stores on five occasions in Milton, Alpharetta, Roswell and south Forsyth.

According to the Forsyth County Sheriff’s Office, the man was in a store May 4 on Ga. 9 at Francis Road when he exposed himself to a cashier. He then fled the area.

Detectives were able to locate the man after an “extensive investigation into the matter.” A warrant was taken out and the man was picked up at his home in Milton. He reportedly confessed to the crimes at the FCSO’s south precinct and was charged.

MILTON, Ga. — A 64-year-old man was arrested in his Florida home May 3 for allegedly molesting a 4-year-old female in Georgia.

Douglas Heatherly of Fort Myers, Florida, was taken into custody by Florida police May 3 after Fulton County issued a warrant for his arrest.

The parents of the juvenile met with Milton police April 20 to report that their child had been touched inappropriately by a man that weekend. The 4-year-old had cried out to one of her parents about the incident a few days after it occurred. Heatherly, the Florida resident implicated by the child, had been visiting Georgia while on vacation.

Police took the child to specialists at Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta for a forensic interview.

“Anytime that we’re dealing with a juvenile that is alleging some kind of sexual crime, whether it’s rape or child molestation, we go to medical professionals,” said Lt. Charles Barstow. “We put them in a safe environment, and [the specialists] interview the juvenile with questions appropriate for their age.”

Based on the results of the interview, the police were given enough probable cause to issue a warrant for Heatherly on the count of child molestation.

Heatherly had returned to Florida by the time the parent reported the case to the Milton Police Department. Local jurisdiction in Florida arrested Heatherly May 3 and will transport him to Fulton County for investigation.

Battle the Bulge!

By Kiran Sajja, M.D.

Kiran Sajja, MD.

Cosmetic Plastic Surgeon

Not at your waist line, but on your face! How many times do you look in the mirror and you think…that can’t be me! You envision yourself as energetic and youthful, but your eyes tell a different story. You find the droopy skin of your upper eyelids make you look disinterested or angry. The puffiness and dark circles of your lower eyelids make you look tired and aged.

Gone are the days that you have to grow graceful with age…

YOU CAN DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT!

Did you know that your insurance may cover eyelid surgery?

Eyelid rejuvenation is a common outpatient procedure which combines the use of minimally-invasive facial injectables and surgical techniques. Botox and Dysport can be used to relax the tense muscles of the brow and forehead and diminish prominent crow’s feet. Fillers, such as Restylane, Juvederm, and Sculptra, can be used to correct loss of natural volume that occurs with age restoring a youthful contour to the eyelid and cheek.

Blepharoplasty or eyelid surgery can be performed to remove excess skin and fat around the eyes. These procedures can be performed with minimal to no scarring.

Upper eyelid surgery in some circumstances may be covered by your medical insurance.

At Milan Eye Center, Dr. Kiran Sajja has demonstrated unsurpassed skill in the use of facial injectables and eyelid surgery. He has been designated, by his peers, as one of the “Best Doctors in America”. Dr. Sajja is a fellowship-trained, Board-certified ophthalmologist specializing in reconstructive and cosmetic oculofacial plastic surgery. This unique background means Dr. Sajja possesses the microsurgical precision of an eye surgeon and the artistry and imagination of a plastic surgeon.

Dr. Sajja uses a wide variety of injectable products and surgical techniques to achieve your desired result. Dr. Sajja welcomes the opportunity to discuss your specific cosmetic concerns and work with you to design an appropriate and individualized treatment plan.

Dr. Sajja is available for consultation at 5 convenient locations across North Atlanta in Johns Creek, Marietta, Cumming, Buford, and Canton.

Dave McKemey 678-648-2010

By PATRICK FOX pat@appenmediagroup.com ROSWELL, Ga. – City leaders will hold a special work session Monday to consider revisions to the mayor’s proposed $126 million budget for 2017.

All told, the revisions, proposed by members of the City Council so far, would add about $100,000 in operating expenses to the mayor’s proposed general fund budget of $70.2 million. Not all council members have weighed in on the budget yet.

Revisions and deletions to the mayor’s proposed budget are a matter of course, and negotiations can sometimes run for hours. So, the City Council voted Monday night to move discussions to a special work session following a public hearing on the mill levy at 6:30 p.m. Monday at City Hall.

The mill levy, which establishes the property tax rate, is scheduled to remain at 5.455 mills, the same as in

the past eight years. However, the city is anticipating an increase in property values of just under 1 percent this year, so property owners may see an increase in their overall tax bill.

As proposed by Mayor Jere Wood, the 2017 budget funds six new employee positions which include four E911 communication supervisors, one administrative specialist in probation and one support services division manager in public works.

This would increase the number of full-time city employees from 604 to 610.

The budget also calls for a merit-based salary increase of 4 percent for employees.

So far, there have been no proposals to cut into those areas of the budget.

Personnel accounts for about $44 million – or 62 percent – of the general fund budget.

Among the major deletions proposed so far, council members Mike Palermo

and Marcelo Zapata have recommended cutting $85,000 in general fund contributions to the hotel/motel fund. The cut would reduce funding to the Roswell Convention and Visitors Bureau and Roswell Inc., the economic development arm of the city.

There is clear support for arts and cultural pursuits from one member of the City Council. Councilwoman Nancy Diamond has proposed close to $100,000 in additions, including expanding hours for the archivist at the Roswell Historical Society, grant contracting for the Roswell Arts Fund and the cemetery enhancement program for the Roswell Historical Society.

A clear majority of council members are proposing additions for marketing and outreach for the Roswell Arts Fund.

In addition to the May 16 work session, the City Council is also scheduled to hold a public hearing on the proposed budget at the next regular meeting at 7 p.m., May 23.

Early voting begins on Alpharetta $52 million bond

By PATRICT FOX pat@appenmediagroup.com ALPHARETTA, Ga. — Early voting has begun ahead of the May 24 statewide primary, and Alpharetta may have more on the line than most other cities.

Residents are voting whether to approve $52 million in bonds to fund transportation, parks and recreation projects within the city. The bonds would be issued without an increase in the property tax rate, which would remain at 5.75 mills for the ninth straight year, according to Finance Director Thomas Harris.

The list of projects were drawn up over the past year after a series of public forums and workshops.

As late as last week, some residents

raised concerns about the design on the most expensive project on the list: resurfacing and improvements on a 3-mile stretch of Rucker Road at a cost of nearly $15 million.

Residents in the area said the design would infringe on their frontage by 2 feet and reduce the buffer between their homes and traffic.

City officials have tried to allay objections like these by assuring residents that, while project plans are fairly solid, staff will make every effort to adjust details to accommodate residents affected by the work.

“We’ll have to figure that out, but to the residents, 2 feet is a lot,” Mayor David Belle Isle said. “The majority of the project is all set. Do we tweak some of them in response to citizens’ concerns

Why:

To present proposed changes to the 2016 Update to the Comprehensive Land Use Plan. Kimley-Horn Associates and City Staff will be in attendance.

If approved by voters, Alpharetta’s $52 million bond would include $1.5 million for developing an arts center out of the old library. and comments? Yes, where possible we do that.”

Road projects take up more than half the $52 million bond money, and Rucker Road takes up the lion’s share of that.

Why? “There is no base,” said Pete Sewczwicz, Public Works director. “We’ve resurfaced Rucker 1 ½ times in the past 12 years. A couple of years ago, we did

a section, and it’s already crumbling.

It’s basically asphalt sitting on dirt.”

Sewczwicz said plans call for recycling the existing asphalt, gravel and clay and injecting cement into it, resetting it as a new concrete base, then laying asphalt. The project also includes two bridge replacements, wide sidewalks, bike lanes and landscaping.

The bridges alone account for much of the cost.

“They’re not cheap, that’s for sure,” Sewczwicz said, “but what’s even more expensive is not repairing these bridges, and something happens to them and you have to reconstruct them.”

Belle Isle said Alpharetta has spent more on transportation in the past three years than any other Fulton County city, save Atlanta.

“That’s consistent with our history that we’ve kept up with it,” Belle Isle said. “This is a continuation of keeping up with that because we have obligation to residents to make sure you can get around.”

He said there were concerns about how the city would redesign Main Street for the City Center project. Some were fearful it would become a traffic thoroughfare.

“We were able to come up with a plan (that applied) a balance, trying to make it efficient, yet keep the character and feel that’s important.”

Another major road project involves adding an east and westbound lane on Windward Parkway from Ga. 9 east to Westside Parkway. This $2 million project combines with a soon-to-be under construction project that adds turning lanes from the northbound Ga. 400 off-ramp onto Windward Parkway and extends those to Westside Parkway.

If passed, the bond would also help the city virtually complete its mission of installing sidewalks along at least one side of every street outside of neighborhoods and industrial areas.

Another large chunk of money, $6.5 million, would go to completing Alpharetta’s Greenway, completing the section north to Forsyth County.

Parks Director Mike Perry said the greenway remains a high priority among residents.

“We don’t have counting devices, but anytime we’ve done (leisure need) surveys – and we’ve done four or five over the past 15-20 years – the greenway trail/bike path is always No. 1. Consistently, No. 1,” Perry said.

If funded through the bond, Alpharetta would boast almost 10 miles of greenway trails and bike paths extending from Forsyth County in the north to Roswell in the south.

“The feedback we get is quantified by the number of phone calls I get for requests, and this is the most pressing need we have,” Perry said.

Outside the greenway, Alpharetta has more than 300 acres of parkland.

Money from the bond would also go to buy more land to add to that total, the mayor said, bringing smaller tracts of

green space to neighborhoods.

Another portion of the bond allotment would go to help construct a community center and recreation facility for residents who live east of Ga. 400.

Right now, there are no indoor parks facilities in the area.

The project would involve either the development of a dedicated facility owned and operated by the city or the development of a facility through a partnership with the Ed Isakson YMCA that would be operated by the agency but open for use by citizens.

Belle Isle said the full slate of projects would put Alpharetta in a position to move ahead by settling old business that has long gone unaddressed, primarily due to lack of funding.

“These projects are designed to capitalize on what some of the biggest headaches are,” he said. “This is a very responsible capital initiative.”

An experiment in being healthy This past year I’ve tried my hardest to eat healthier. I have cut out (some) junk food from my diet, I started drinking tea and I even discovered I enjoy salads.

This new lifestyle KATHLEEN STURGEON has given me the ability to be more food Editor kathleen@appenmediagroup.com flexible and, with that, I’ve begun leaving my carbohydrate comfort zone and venturing into the land of the healthy food.

So far it’s been successful. Who knew real, raw food was so delicious? Plenty of people knew that already, I’m sure. But it’s hard to choose an apple over a bowl of hot queso dip.

Nevertheless, I do try to not say “no” to foods as much as I did before … except meat, as I’ve been a vegetarian for over half my life.

So when a bag of kale chips made its way into our office a few weeks ago, I thought “sure, they seem to be all the craze, why not?”

Boy, was that a mistake. Maybe the first clue should have been the fact that these weren’t just plain kale chips — they were ranch flavored.

As a Southern girl, I grew up with ranch dressing on the side of everything.

Our salads, pizza and even potato chips were dipped, smothered and covered in that tangy and flavorful topping.

Personally, I find ranch to just be OK. While it’s not something to write home to mom about, I find it fairly agreeable.

So when I saw the chips were flavored with it, I thought it couldn’t hurt it, right?

Well, it did hurt. Not only was the ranch not up to par with Doritos Cool Ranch chips, these kale morsels couldn’t even be considered “chips.”

The best way to describe them is they look like the stuff I used to feed my goldfish. They smell like it, too.

The taste is just odd. It’s a little crunchy and the texture is that of a very burnt piece of popcorn that usually stinks up the whole house.

Our office decided the silver lining to the kale chips is that everything you eat after those tidbits tastes 100 times better.

So when I saw the plate of brownies next to the bag of kale chips, it was like the angels had come down and were singing a beautiful siren’s song.

Surely since I took the bullet and ate one kale chip I now deserved a gooey, freshly baked brownie, right?

My quest to eat healthier continues, but I think the next time I want to eat something green I’ll just have a salad.

OPINION

This is the best we can do: An ex-first lady or the best self-promoter since P.T. Barnum?

What choice do we have in November?

So what is a columnist to write about the rest of the summer and through fall regarding this coming presidential election?

You can’t really satirize either HATCHER HURD candidate. They Executive Editor hatcher@appenmediagroup.com are such caricatures of candidates already that they are virtually satire-proof.

Is it pillory Hillary?

Dump the Chump?

Both offer ample targets for lampooning with plenty of chinks in their armor: Benghazi, Trump University, etc. But the one chilling reality is that these ARE our choices for the presidency in the November election.

This is the best we can do: An ex-first lady or the best self-promoter since P.T. Barnum?

After hearing Congressman Tom Price speak to the Johns Creek Chamber of Commerce, I was commiserating with a lady whose opinions I respect. We were both lamenting over the lack of substance in the coming presidential election.

Suddenly, it hit me — the solution to the dilemma is right here in front of us. Who has been our staunchest ally over the last 200 years? Why, Great Britain, of course.

OK, there was that little altercation in 1776 and a flare-up in 1812, but that is ancient history. They have a Parliament, but it never seems to do

very much. Sounds just like Congress, doesn’t it?

But who is really in charge? Who really wields the power? Why, the queen, of course. And who doesn’t like Queen Elizabeth?

She keeps the British Parliament in line, doesn’t she? Whoever is prime minister, he/she still has to report to the queen. It’s like taking your report card to your mother. You can’t talk your way out of those D’s and F’s.

You have to own up. You can’t lie to the queen, can you?

So we can just send a delegation to Buckingham Palace to say we are sorry for the misunderstanding, and we are ready to come back into the fold. We’ll pay our tea tax and celebrate your birthday.

Shoot, we’ve never really gotten over being gaga about royalty. We still stay up and watch the royal weddings. We can’t wait to hear if the latest aristocratic offspring will be a boy or girl and then join in the speculation over what name to choose.

We loved Elizabeth’s jubilee.

So why not return to the mother country? Then we could just putter along with any old president and let Congress pick a new one if the current one doesn’t measure up.

Don’t get me wrong. We would not totally surrender to British culture and customs.

We know the trunk of our car is not a boot.

And we know the right side is the right side of the road.

We won’t give up our football for soccer. They call it football, but I

You can’t really satirize either candidate.

They are such caricatures of candidates already that they are virtually satire-proof. know the difference and what they play is soccer.

And we won’t adopt their spellings and pronunciations either. They are far too lackadaisical with where they put their e’s, such as in centre. And they allow the letter u far too much freedom to just wander into any word it wants, like in colour.

But, for a given value of government, a queen might just be the ticket out of what could become an embarrassing situation in the White House.

I have heard more and more people say they are going to move to Canada after the presidential election. Such a thing has already begun to have international consequences.

The Canadians are talking about building a wall.

Local practice partners with Piedmont Urgent Care by WellStreet

By PATRICK FOX pat@appenmediagroup.com MILTON, Ga. – Bethany Bend Urgent Care, a local staple for the past seven years, has joined Piedmont Urgent Care

by WellStreet to expand its operating expertise.

The local practice was established in 2009 by Dr. David Smith and his wife, Melissa.

“Over the next two months, the community will see the sign change, but when they come in, it will be us… only better,” Melissa Smith said. Smith serves as assistant manager/marketing for the practice.

One of three new north metro affiliations WellStreet announced last week, the partnership was the culmination of nearly a year of work, Smith said.

The Bethany Bend practice offers everything from sutures to X-rays, from treating strep throat to lab work and physicals.

The practice pays attention to what Smith calls Americans’ “now mentality,” offering immediate care without scheduling a month in advance.

She said independent practices partner with larger networks for a variety of reasons.

“As you grow, you need more help,” she said. “The reason we partnered was we wanted to be with someone who was an urgent care operating company.”

The local practice had numerous offers for partnerships, Smith said, and some were unappealing.

“Sometimes I just wanted to run out because they buy you out and they don’t offer you enough support,” she said. “I talked to Piedmont at least two or three times over the past year, and every time I was so impressed by (Dr.) Lee Resnick, who is the chief operating physician in this partnership. He and Dr. Smith believe in quality patient care. They believe in not interrupting a business. Our total staff is going to stay the same.”

Smith said the admiration was mutual because Piedmont Urgent Care by WellStreet adopted some of the Bethany Bend facility’s practices.

“They were so impressed with the

way we work with schools and have built relationships over the years,” she said. “They have other facilities in downtown Atlanta that they’re going to be training their people to not just take walk-ins but serve the schools.”

Some may have some catching up to do. Late last month, the Bethany Bend practice performed 90 sports physicals at Milton High School. The practice also gave the school a large check to support its athletic program.

Such deeds did not go unnoticed by Resnick, chief medical officer of Piedmont Urgent Care by WellStreet.

“I think this reflects the best kind of a partnership where the sum is better than the whole of the parts,” Resnick said. “You’re combining the strengths of a very well-respected community urgent care provider with the support of a best-in-class health system and provider network.”

Piedmont Urgent Care now has 10 locations throughout metro Atlanta.

Resnick said the local practice will offer the same providers, same staff and same care that they have been providing to the residents of Alpharetta and Milton for the past seven years.

“Only the name really changes,” he said.

Price says we live in ‘unsettled times’ Congressman addresses Johns Creek Chamber

By HATCHER HURD hatcher@appenmediagroup.com JOHNS CREEK, Ga. – Roswell Republican U.S. Rep. Tom Price, addressing the Johns Creek Chamber of Commerce May 4, said these are unsettled times in which people are “concerned, fearful and troubled by things that don’t feel right.�

Price, now in his 12th year in Congress, has risen up the ranks in congressional leadership. He is now chairman of the all-important Budget Committee.

But while we are experiencing these “unsettled times,� Price wanted to assure the people that he and members of Congress are working to allay those fears. “I’m a solutions guy,� he said. “I believe there is always a solution. I look at polices, not personalities.�

He reiterated the position that America’s free-market society is restrained by overregulation in Washington. He pointed out that in eight years, the gross national product has shown a

But the national average over the

last 20 years was 3.1 percent. So while the country is out of the Bush reces-

sion, we have still not recovered. “Growth for small businesses has been difficult. The economy is just not growing as it should. We changed coaches in the House. This was the first time a sitting speaker of the House has resigned in midterm when it was not because of scandal,� Price said.

Speaker Paul Ryan has been tapped, and has energized the House. “He said he didn’t want the job. We said that is precisely why we needed him. He seeks policy solutions. And that is our challenge, to find policy solutions.�

The No. 1 goal should be tax reform.

Price said this country can’t say it is pro-growth with the highest business taxes in the Free World. That acts as a disincentive for companies to grow and thrive.

Health care costs are another disincentive to growth. The free market has not been allowed to operate in health care, so businesses and employees continue to see their health care costs rise.

Price blames government regulations that have only made things worse, especially “Obamacare.� “The beauty of Ryan is he will

Price: Continued from Page 10 demand consensus [on health policy],” Price said. Critical to moving the economy forward is creating a path to upward mobility, he said.

Fifty years after Lyndon Johnson’s war on poverty, the number of Americans living below the poverty line has gone from 14.8 percent to 14.11 percent.

In other words, it is stagnating.

Price says the problem is the programs create dependence.

“The government does not incentivize success. Society must encourage upward mobility. When children in poverty were asked what their dreams were, one child replied, ‘Look, where I live there are no dreams.’ That situation is intolerable,” Price said.

The congressman is also bullish on defense.

He is calling for more defense spending. During the Cold War of the 1960s [if Vietnam can be called part of the Cold War] the U.S. spent 6 percent of GDP on defense.

Today, that figure is 3 percent, exactly half.

He said the world is more dangerous today than when we were only worried about the Soviet Union and China.

Meanwhile $500 billion has been cut from defense in the last six years.

“That is not making the world safe,” he said.

Instead, tying defense spending to domestic spending is crippling America’s ability to respond around the world.

A lot of the problem is caused by the shift of power in Washington to the executive branch.

“We believe the people should have a say. We should have debate and then a fair vote,” Price said. “We should not let executive authority write the law of the land.”

Asked his opinion about the emergence of Donald Trump as the presumptive Republican candidate for president, Price nimbly threw the question right back.

“We had an office pool sometime back and two people actually did pick Trump. But I could not have predicted that,” he said.

Looking around the room, he asked, “Did any of you give Donald Trump a chance six months ago? What Trump tapped into was a lack of confidence in the Washington process. He tapped into the belief that there is an opportunity from a policy standpoint to do the things needed to turn the economy around.”

He called the Trump phenomenon a reaction to Washington gridlock politics and a desire to shake up the system.

State ‘report card’ gives C rating to Fulton schools Average score dips below state average

By CANDY WAYLOCK candy@appenmediagroup.com FULTON COUNTY, Ga. — Overall, the 102 schools in the Fulton County School System are getting a solid C on the state’s report card of performance and other factors related to the school environment.

The Georgia Department of Education recently released the fourth College and Career Ready Performance Index, based on data from the 2014-15 school year. The average score for Georgia’s public schools was 75.5.

In FCSS, the average CCRPI score was just under the state average at 74.7 for all schools. Among North Fulton schools, averages exceeded both the state and system averages for elementary, middle and high schools.

Georgia was among the first states in the nation to earn a waiver from the No Child Left Behind mandates, in

exchange for the CCRPI. The criteria for ratings on the CCRPI is an ever-changing model which first went into effect in 2012 and has been tweaked each year since Under CCRPI, schools are rated by more than just academic achievement and year-to-year progress, but also the graduation rate, preparing students for colleges and careers, and efforts to close the achievement gap.

Unlike the NCLB mandate, there are no punitive measures for schools with low CCRPI scores. However, consistently low-performing schools could be subject to a takeover by the state under the proposed Opportunity School District. Voters will decide that issue in this month’s election.

The categories for ratings under CCRPI include: Achievement (50 percent) – Includes graduation rates, performance on state measures and other measures of career and college readiness Progress (40 percent) – Students are growing at the same rate of academi-

N.F. Chamber honors Women in Business Lisa Carlisle named 2016 Woman of Excellence

By KATHLEEN STURGEON kathleen@appenmediagroup.com JOHNS CREEK, Ga. — Reach in, reach up and reach out.

That was the mantra May 4 at the Greater North Fulton Chamber of Commerce’s Women in Business spring awards luncheon, at the Atlanta Athletic Club.

Two awards were given out at the event. The first was given to Lisa Carlisle for 2016 Woman of Excellence. The second was awarded to Theo Keyserling for the JenLan Rising Star Awards.

Women of all backgrounds listened to Moira Vetter, founder and CEO of Modo Modo Agency, talk about her history and offer business tips.

Using the day’s theme, “Reach,” she said one of the most interesting things

about the topic is that it is both a noun and a verb.

“In marketing we are often talking about ‘the noun,’” she said. “We’ve established reach and we have a room full of people that are in our sphere of influence that we can count on. It’s a thing.

If you think about reach as a verb, it’s what has to happen before you end up with the noun. You have to take risks and reach out.”

Vetter said professionals need to constantly work on their reach with intention.

“Reach is not just ambition or accumulating more people,” she said.

“Sometimes it can be extending an olive branch or healing something. It can be hard working with different groups of people to extend an olive branch. It takes leadership and a certain kind of person who can bring people together.

That’s the kind of thing in reach that will make you very successful in business.”

Halcyon latest stamp of approval on Forsyth’s future The new 134acre Halcyon development, which broke ground on Feb. 5, is the latest sign that the business environment is strong in Forsyth County.

I remember 15 GEOFF SMITH or so years ago, Assurance Financial, gsmith@lendtheway.com New York Life decided to build a regional data center in south Forsyth.

The project was much more than a big win for the business community and the addition of jobs. It was a Fortune 100 company doing some serious due diligence and putting its stamp of approval on the future outlook of the community. The then-CEO of the company flew down from its Manhattan headquarters to celebrate with the local Forsyth leaders.

Today it seems like New York Life made a good bet. Forsyth County leaders have done a lot to try to improve the quality of life there. Among developers, they were known for years as having some of the area’s highest impact fees (fees charged to developers during the permitting process) – which they used to build schools, fire and police stations, parks and libraries.

Forsyth residents passed a $200 million bond referendum that will add one lane each way on Ga. 400 from McFarland Parkway to Bald Ridge Marina Road, adding an interchange on Ga. 400 at McGinnis Ferry Road, and extending Ronald Reagan Boulevard from Majors Road to McFarland Parkway.

The Board of Commissioners in Forsyth is now talking about significant makeovers of every Ga. 400 intersection which would include better

Halcyon; a $370M, 134-acre planned community. on and off ramps, and beautification that could include public art, sculpture effects and architectural fencing.

There is a movement to try to create a community improvement district – which is a district in which all the businesses contribute a tax to go toward improvement projects put forth by the CID’s board. There is a similar district in Alpharetta that has been responsible for beautification of Alpharetta’s Ga. 400 intersections and the construction of the new Encore Parkway bridge over Ga. 400.

The county mimicked Alpharetta and built its own greenway along Big Creek, which it hopes to connect with Alpharetta’s Big Creek Greenway to one day. The plan is to have a continuous biking trail along that creek from Forsyth County south through Alpharetta and into Roswell.

These projects and others are the reason Forsyth County was the 11th fastest-growing county in the country last year. It grew by an estimated 4.2 percent, adding an estimated 8,556 new residents. They are the reason one of its high schools, Lambert, is consistently recognized as one of the best in the state. I’m not sure they are the reason for this, but it should be noted that the county was named

the healthiest county in Georgia for the last several years in studies by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and the University of Wisconsin Population Health Institute.

Just as the New York Life project was a significant stamp of approval on Forsyth’s leadership and direction, so is Halcyon. Developers RocaPoint Partners and the Georgetown Company are betting $370 million that the community will support this project.

That is a lot of money.

Halcyon was designed by award-winning master planner Lew Oliver, who also planned Avalon. The project is a 134-acre planned community that is based on town centers in England and France. Centered around a town green, the project will include 500,000 square feet of residential, office and retail space.

There will be 92 residential lots, 280 apartments and a hotel associated with the project. The architecture is sure to be fantastic and the project will link to the Big Creek Greenway, which cuts right through the property. It will be at the intersection of McGinnis Ferry and Ronald Regan Boulevard and phase I is scheduled to open fall 2017.

The project will also add something the county has been lacking: a true live, work, and play town center project.

Reviewing employee performance As a small-business owner, how often do you review the performance of your employees?

When you review your employee’s performance, are you using this time not only to rate their performance, but also to coach them DICK JONES on how to improve it?

Founder & President Jones Simply Sales The lifeblood of successfully running a small business is high-performing employees. If you’re not continually focused on reviewing and improving your employee’s performance, you most certainly are not optimizing their ability to help you grow your business.

The starting point for reviewing your employee’s performance is to have a documented performance plan which spells out what you want them to do. The more specific you are on what you expect, the easier it is to provide feedback. Including both qualitative and quantitative measurements, such as new account quotas or sales goals, will help you to provide more precise feedback.

When reviewing an employee’s performance, it should be a “two-way” conversation. Have each of your employees do a “self review” first of how they think they are performing. This will allow you to better prepare for the actual review and leverage the input from your employees.

With hundreds of things on your mind as a small-business owner, never lose sight of the fact that your employees are most likely your top asset. Spending time reviewing their performance will help them do a better job, and by doing this it will help you to better run and grow your small business.

Hollywood comes to local fitness center Workout Anytime tapped as location for Jennifer Aniston-Julia Roberts flick

By HATCHER HURD hatcher@appenmediagroup.com JOHNS CREEK, Ga. – Go to the Workout Anytime fitness center and you can work up a sweat, but had you been there a few months ago, you might have gotten a famous movie star’s autograph.

Hollywood came a calling to Johns Creek to film a big-budget romantic comedy starring Jennifer Aniston, Julia Roberts, Kate Hudson and Jason Sudeikis just out called “Mother’s Day.” The film opened April 29 and now patrons can see where much of it was filmed in the Atlanta area – and Johns Creek.

The Workout Anytime fitness center at Old Alabama and Haynes Bridge roads is the setting for major scenes in the movie. It had Workout Anytime franchisee James Wofford literally seeing stars.

“It was all a fluke really, that they picked my place to shoot. Apparently the COO of Workout Anytime used to work in Los Angeles and is a friend of one of the producers,” said Wofford.

“They needed a fitness center for scenes in the movie and asked our guy if they could use one of ours.”

There are 24 locations in the Atlanta area but they chose Wofford’s Johns Creek center (he has a second franchise in Smyrna).

Needless to say, Wofford was pleased, even though the gym had to close for two days while they shot the scenes.

Actually, it was more like four days since Workout Anytime is open 24 hours a day to fit anyone’s workout schedule.

“Yes, it was a top Hollywood movie,

with a bunch of great stars and directed by Garry Marshall,” Wofford said.

He said Marshall was a funny guy.

Not surprising since Marshall has made a career in comedy as a gag writer for “The Tonight Show” and later wrote and adapted for television comedies such as “The Odd Couple,” “Happy Days” and “Mork and Mindy.”

Marshall graduated to movies with such hits as “Pretty Woman,” which launched Julia Roberts’ career. He also directed such hits as “Runaway Bride” and “The Princess Diaries.”

Wofford said security was tight during shooting, but he was allowed in because one of the execs wanted someone around should they need anything associated with the building.

“He shoved a walkie-talkie in my hand and I just held onto it. That was like my pass to get in,” he said.

And while it was a closed set, he was able to get his two teenage daughters, ages 14 and 16, in to watch.

“They said it would be OK but absolutely no photos. So they stayed in my office which has a one-way mirror. So they’re in there with their cell phones …”

Let’s just say, for at least a week, Wofford was a cool dad.

Wofford said he went to see the recently released “Mother’s Day” (it’s still playing in theaters throughout the area) and was surprised and pleased that his fitness center got a lot of “screen time.”

“They had shots of the place outside with the logo [an establishing shot in the trade], and the scenes inside had our sign on the wall, too. They even wore our T-shirts. It was great for our individual club,” Wofford said.

HATCHER HURD/HERALD

Workout Anytime owner James Wofford relaxes in his Johns Creek fitness center with his souvenir poster of the movie that had scenes shot there.

He has also gotten some reaction from his members who have already seen the movie.

“Yeah, the members have been talking about it. They were excited,” he said. “They knew why we were closed for shooting. I would see some of them hanging out in the parking lot.”

Wofford said he thinks his business has “got some bumps” from the exposure.

“As a company, we definitely have seen some bumps in attendance. And the movie’s only been out a week.”

Ultimately, sustaining success will come from what Workout Anytime has to offer today’s busy consumer. Not only does it offer a 24-hour schedule and access to the latest training machines including free weights, it offers personal trainers, tanning beds and hydromassage.

“We want to make sure they have everything they need to be their best and be available on a schedule that suits them,” Wofford said.

Then, if you want to look like a movie star, it’s up to you.

GET OUTSIDE GEORGIA:

Finding the peace pole at Alpharetta’s North Park One of the neatest things about spending time in the out of doors is the occasional unexpected discovery that you make. For instance ...

STEVE HUDSON If you know Get Outside Georgia, me, you know that Chattahoochee Media Group I enjoy fly fishing.

I’m always looking for new places to try a few casts, and one that has intrigued me for a long time is the small pond at North Park, a city of Alpharetta park located near the park’s Adult Activity Center and ballfields.

On my way home one day a few weeks ago, I decided to cut through North Park to avoid the Bethany Bend/Cogburn Road intersection.

Driving through a park always wins over sitting in traffic, doesn’t it? And since I just happened to have my fly rod with me (funny how that happens), I decided I’d take a few minutes and make a few casts … just a few ...

How was the fishing? Well, it was enough to say I’d been fishing, but that was about it.

Much more interesting, truth be told, was what I discovered up near the woods close to the far end of the pond: a small garden with benches and, in the center, a multisided post bearing the words “May Peace Prevail On Earth” in English and in several other languages.

“Now there’s something you don’t see every day,” I remember thinking, propping the fly rod against a nearby tree so I could further check out this unexpected discovery.

A plaque set among the pavers told me that this particular “peace pole” is one of “thousands erected around the world as an international symbol of peace.” The Peace Pole Project, as it’s known, originated in Japan in 1955, the result of the efforts of the late Masahisa Goi. Since that time (according to the organization known as the World Peace Prayer Society) an estimated 200,000 peace poles have been placed “in nearly every country on Earth.”

This particular peace pole site was born several years ago when the Rotary Club of North Fulton partnered with the city of Alpharetta to develop what’s now known as the Rotary Reflection Garden. The garden was ded-

icated in June 2013, and it has been appreciated by many area residents and visitors ever since.

The Rotary Reflection Garden in North Park is easy to find. North Park is accessed from either Bethany Bend Road or Cogburn Road via North Park Road. Park at the Adult Activity Center or in the parking area near the ballfields nearest the pond, then follow the main sidewalk to a paved and gravel-bordered walkway which starts at the road and continues more or less parallel to one side of the lake.

A small sign points to the walkway, which ends at the Reflection Garden.

You need only to listen to the news to be reminded that Goi’s Peace Pole Project is as timely now as it was when it began. Goi once wrote urging people to “join in the movement for world peace through prayer.” That’s a good thought for these complex times in which we live.

Steve Hudson’s new book “PROSPECTING FOR GEORGIA GOLD” will help you discover the fun of prospecting for Georgia gold. Check it out in local outdoor shops or on Amazon, or order an autographed copy at www. chattahoocheemedia.com.

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!

Don’t let your car make your allergies worse (NAPSI)—You don’t have to let the joys of warm weather driving be diminished by the irritating pollen and pollutants that can be drawn inside through your car’s air-conditioning and ventilation systems.

Cabin air filters clean the incoming air, removing allergens, as long as they’re replaced regularly.

“A dirty or clogged cabin air filter can cause contaminants to become so concentrated in the cabin that passengers actually breathe in more fumes and particles when riding in the car than when walking down the street,” explained Rich White, executive director, Car Care Council. “Replacing the cabin air filter is a simple way for you and your passengers to breathe easier while driving.”

In addition to trapping pollen, bacteria, dust and exhaust gases, the cabin air filter prevents leaves, bugs and other debris from entering the heating, ventilating and air-conditioning (HVAC) system. A restricted cabin air filter can mean musty odors in the vehicle and impair airflow in the HVAC system, possibly causing interior heat-

ing and cooling problems. Over time, the heater and air conditioner may also become damaged by corrosion.

Cabin air filters should not be cleaned and reinstalled. Instead, they should be replaced every 12,000 to 15,000 miles, or per the owner’s manual. Most filters are accessible through a panel in the HVAC housing, which may be under the hood or in the interior of the car. An automotive service technician can locate the cabin filter and replace it according to the vehicle’s owner manual. Some filters require basic hand tools to remove and install their replacement while others just need your hands.

To learn more about cabin air filters, view the Car Care Council’s Car Care Minute video and see the free digital “Car Care Guide.” Motorists can also order a free printed copy of the popular guide.

The Car Care Council is the source of information for the “Be Car Care Aware” consumer education campaign promoting the benefits of regular vehicle care, maintenance and repair to consumers.

May is arthritis awareness month May is National Arthritis Awareness Month. Led by the Arthritis Foundation, activities promote education about arthritis and raise funds for arthritis research, support, and advocacy. OrthoAtlanta proudly participated in the Southeast Region 2016 Walk to Cure Arthritis earlier this month. Yet recognition of this debilitating disease is year-long.

Arthritis strikes more than 50 million Americans, representing one in five adults and approximately 300,000 children. Actually a family of diseases with over 100 types, arthritis attack joints and connective tissues.

Everyday life becomes more difficult for arthritis sufferers and common activities such as standing, walking, and climbing stairs may be nearly impossible.

Osteoarthritis is one of the more common types, occurring when the cartilage that cushions the ends of our bones wears away. As cartilage deteriorates, bone rubs against bone, causing pain, swelling, and stiffness.

Not all arthritis can be prevented, but you can oftentimes lower your risk if you: • Stay active • Maintain a healthy weight

• Avoid joint injury Although there is no cure for arthritis at this time, OrthoAtlanta physicians and physical therapists can help you manage symptoms through a variety of treatments designed to restore mobility, reduce pain, and maintain the lifestyle you enjoy. When joint symptoms are severe, options such as joint replacement surgery may be appropriate.

OrthoAtlanta Orthopaedic and Sports Medicine Specialists includes offices in Johns Creek, 678-205-4261, and Gwinnett / Lawrenceville, 678957-0757. Learn More at OrthoAtlanta.com.

Not so Ugly Betty

By DR. JEFFREY JORDAN Jordan Orthodontics Orthodontics today is about improved function of the teeth, jaws and improved facial esthetics. Likewise, orthodontic appliances of today are more efficient, more comfortable and better looking. As a result, treatment times are shorter with less discomfort, and better results can be achieved.

Traditional orthodontic appliances consist of brackets and wires. The brackets today come in a variety of sizes and shapes for optimal efficiency and are increasingly tooth colored.

They can even be custom made for each patient with computer technology to shorten treatment time.

However, it is the orthodontic wire that actually moves the teeth and where we find the most incrediJORDAN ble advancements. The heat activated super elastic memory wire is very flexible at room temperature and can be placed into the braces on extremely crooked teeth. Then, as it warms in the mouth to body temperature, the wire exerts a light continuous force on the teeth. It is this light continuous force that moves the teeth most efficiently but below the threshold of pain. No longer does the orthodontist actually tighten the braces. We simply change from one type of wire to the next. And yes, the wires can be tooth colored as well!

Dental health reflects good health

By Dr. David Remaley Just 60 years ago, it was an assumption that as we age we would lose our natural dentition. But, that’s not the case for today’s older adults who are keeping their natural teeth longer than ever before. A healthy mouth and teeth help you look good, eat delicious and nutritious foods, and speak clearly and confidently. Being mouth healthy is essential for good quality of life.

Regular dentist visits can do more than keep your smile attractive – they can tell dentists a lot about your overall health, including whether or not you may be developing a disease like diabetes.

New research suggests that the health of your mouth mirrors the condition of your body as a whole. For example, when your mouth is healthy, chances are your overall health is good, too. On the other hand, if you have poor oral health, you may have other health problems.

Your mouth is the gateway to your body and is directly related to all systemic problems.

Maintaining good oral health habits now is especially important because unhealthy bacteria in the mouth not only can harm your teeth

and gums but may be associated with serious medical conditions. Research has shown that infections in the mouth may be associated with heart disease, stroke, diabetes, pneumonia and other health problems that are common in older adults.

It really only takes a few simple steps, including brushing and flossing at least twice daily, visiting your dentist regularly and eating a healthy diet.

Roswell Dental Care can help you keep that healthy smile for a lifetime.

Dr. David Remaley has been treating patients like family for over 30 years in Roswell and the North Atlanta area.

We always welcome new patients.

Cataracts are one of the leading causes of blindness in the United States. During Cataract Awareness Month in May, the American Academy of Ophthalmology and Thomas Eye Group reminds the public that early detection and treatment of cataracts is critical to preserving sight. Common symptoms of a cataract may include blurred or cloudy vision; faded or dull colors; glares or halos; poor night vision; double or multiple vision in one eye; and frequent prescription changes in your eyeglasses or contact lenses.

These symptoms can indicate other eye problems that may also result in blindness if left untreated.

If you have any of these symptoms, make an appointment with Thomas Eye Group immediately for a complete eye examination.

The Thomas Eye Group Roswell office has five doctors including Larry Heit, M.D., a board certified ophthalmologist specializing in cataract and refractive surgery; Stuart Newman, M.D., a board certified ophthalmologist specializing in comprehensive medical and dry eye treatment; Stephen Lipsky, M.D., a board certified ophthalmologist specializing in pediatric ophthalmology

and adult strabismus; David J. Sackel, M.D., a fellowship trained ophthalmologist specializing in cornea and external disease, as well as cataract and refractive surgery; and Nhora Abril, O.D., a bilingual board certified optometrist.

Thomas Eye Group is located across from North Fulton Hospital at 11690 Alpharetta Highway.

Blotter: Continued from Page 2 show tickets from April 13-18. He immediately cancelled the card. Johns Creek police ran the unknown number through their system but got no matches.

Former tenant breaks into home to sleep JOHNS CREEK, Ga. — A former tenant was arrested April 18 for allegedly trespassing in a local resident’s home.

A woman called the Johns Creek police early morning April 18 about a burglary in progress. She had heard someone forcibly enter her home downstairs and had hid in her bedroom along with her two grandchildren. They were the only family members at home.

When police arrived and circled the house, they found that the glass sliding door in the backyard had been shattered. They found a backpack, credit card and brick next to the broken door frame. Police believe the man had first tried to pry open the door with the credit card, but ultimately threw the brick when the card failed.

The officers secured the home and brought the woman and two children to safety. They found a man sleeping in a bed near the rear of the home.

The man, David Hughes, 28, had lived in the house several months earlier before the woman evicted him.

Hughes was arrested for criminal trespass.

Tinted car tag reveals wanted man MILTON, Ga. — A man was arrested April 26 for multiple active warrants in Indiana and Illinois for burglary and disorderly conduct after a routine traffic stop. Milton police stopped the man’s black Ford Expedition on Ga. 9 because the tinted tag cover obscured the SUV’s identification. On closer inspection of the tag, they were able to identify that the vehicle was from Indiana. When asked for his license, the man said he had left it at home. He identified himself as Jonathan Smith, 31, of Indiana. He told police that he had been living in Georgia for two months and that he still hadn’t obtained a Georgia driver’s license or tag.

He said the Ford belonged to his wife.

Police discovered multiple active warrants for Smith’s arrest after running his information through the system. The warrants came from Indiana and Illinois for disorderly conduct and burglary. Smith was arrested for driving with a suspended license and for the warrants. He was also cited for the

tinted tag cover and for not obtaining a valid Georgia license within 30 days of becoming a resident.

Unlocked car equals $1.1K of gaming equipment gone MILTON, Ga. — $1,100 worth of items were stolen May 1 from a man’s car after he left it unlocked overnight.

The man told Milton police that he normally locks his Chevy Trailblazer, but he apparently forgot that night.

After going out with some friends, he returned to the car May 1 and noticed some items scattered about within it. A few were gone. The items missing including the man’s credit cards, license, insurance card, PlayStation 4, several video games and a gaming headset. The man had already cancelled his cards before calling the police, but one card had already been charged $100 at a local retail store.

Police had trouble obtaining fingerprints to analyze due to the multiple thunderstorms that night

Man’s account charged $3.7K in false purchases MILTON, Ga. — A man reported to Milton police that multiple failed fraudulent charges were made on his credit card April 30.

The man was alerted by an electronics company in Illinois that his purchase of a $3,700 computer had failed.

The company called the man after noticing that the names and addresses on the shipping and billing addresses were different. They contacted the man to confirm the order was to be shipped to someone claiming to be Rommel Chezair.

The cardholder told the company that was not his name and he had not made any purchases. The transaction was canceled.

A second charge was made a few days later for four phones. The phones had been shipped to the man’s previous address. The delivery driver knew the man no longer lived at the address and alerted him about the package before storing it in the warehouse for pickup.

An unknown individual called the warehouse to obtain the phones, but was denied when he could not present a valid ID and address.

The phone company also called the man April 30 about the purchase, and he told them that he had not made one.

After that call, the victim checked his credit report and noticed several unauthorized accounts opened in his name. He froze his credit and immediately called Milton police to alert them about the fraudulent activity.

ROSWELL, Ga. — The Citizens of Georgia Power hosted the third annual Ride for Relay to benefit the American Cancer Society on Saturday, April 23. This event has grown every year since its inception in 2014.

Partnering with Killer Creek Harley Davidson and other community partners, ride organizer Don Bailey and the North Fulton Area Citizens of Georgia Power used this event to help raise funds for the North Fulton Relay for Life.

Citizens of Georgia Power is a volunteer organization made up of employees and retirees that supports giving back to communities across the state where employees live and work.

This year, the ride grew to 35 bikes and 50 passengers and raised more than $1,500. “We love this event because it gives us an opportunity to reach out to our community in a unique way all while raising money to defeat cancer. I couldn’t be more proud of the effort our chapter put forth to have such a successful event,” said chapter president JD Wilson.

The guided ride started in Roswell and traveled through Fulton, Forsyth and Cherokee counties. The volunteer organization hopes to continue this event for years to come.

This year’s North Fulton Relay for Life takes place at Webb Bridge Park on May 14 at 4 p.m.

Down Home Derby a winner for CDA Roswell Child Development Center fundraiser sports largest field ever with 400+ attendees

By HATCHER HURD hatcher@appenmediagroup.com MILTON, Ga. –Nyquist might have been the winner at Churchill Downs in the 142nd running of the Kentucky Derby, but the big winner in North Fulton was the Roswell Child Development Association at its biggest fundraiser ever: The Down Home Derby.

Iron Horse Farm in Milton once again provided the perfect backdrop for the gala event. With more than 400 guests, it was a complete sellout.

That is good news for the 156 preschool children of North Fulton’s working poor. Fundraisers like the Down Home Derby make it possible for the children, ages 12 months to 5 years, to attend the CDA’s affordable early learning programs and childcare. Now in its 48th year, the CDA has a nationally accredited preschool program (from the National Association for the Education of Young Children) that ensures these children will enter first grade as well prepared as their classmates.

Last year the CDA received a threestar rating, the highest given from Georgia’s Quality Rated program. That ensures any parent their child is enrolled in a program that is dedicated to the highest quality educational standards.

The Down Home Derby helps make all of that possible while providing one of the best galas of the season. Iron Horse Farm, nestled on 40 acres in

Milton, was again the setting. With its spacious arena housing the main event, patrons could stroll by the stalls and feed some of the most magnificent horses in the state a carrot or two.

A “down home” family-style dinner was prepared by Milton’s Cuisine & Cocktails and included traditional Kentucky turkey hot browns for appetizers and spring garlic marinated free-range chicken breast and sweet tea brinedhoney glazed pork loin. The meal left patrons raving.

Emcee for the evening — the CDA’s best gala ever — was award-winning WSB certified meteorologist Brad Nitz.

‘WAKE UP AMERICA!’

Roswell participates in National Day of Prayer All faiths gather to exercise right to pray

By HATCHER HURD hatcher@appenmediagroup.com ROSWELL, Ga. – By ones, twos and buses, they came Thursday, May 5, to the Roswell Vietnam War Memorial to share in a day of public prayer.

All faiths, all religions are welcome at the annual observation, now in its 65th year. The Rev. Neville Billy is the regional coordinator for National Day of Prayer and host of the Roswell Day of Prayer.

This year’s national theme, “Wake Up America,” emphasized “the need for individuals, corporately and individually, to return to God.” To highlight the theme, National Day of Prayer chose as this year’s scripture Isaiah 58:1: “Shout it aloud, do not hold back. Raise your voice like a trumpet.”

HATCHER HURD/HERALD

There were moments of prayer throughout the afternoon.

The National Day Prayer was begun in 1951, but it really harkens back to 1775 when the Second Continental

More than 200 people gathered on the lawn at the Roswell Vietnam War Memorial for a day of prayer and unity.

Congress called for a national day of prayer. It was a bleak year in the struggle against Great Britain for liberty.

The National Day of Prayer was seen

as a way to galvanize a new spirit of unity and resolve during troubled times with a public expression of faith. And so it is today.

FCS soccer teams make school history ROSWELL, Ga. — The Fellowship ChristianSchool girls varsity soccer team advanced to its sixth straight Georgia High School Association Girls Soccer Final Four.

The boys are also in the quarterfinals.

Both were to host games at Fellowship Christian School in Roswell on May 10. Fellowship, 15-1 overall, was scheduled to face Stratford Academy in the semifinals.

A coin flip was held following the game since both clubs are the top seeds in their region. FCS won and served as host team.

“We are so blessed to be back in the semifinals,” head coach Tim Rice said.

The Lady Paladins are ranked No. 1 among Single A teams in Georgia.

The Fellowship Christian School boys’ varsity soccer team also won the coin flip after their defeat against Landmark Christian School. “Landmark had an amazing game plan and came out on fire,” head coach Ari Durham said. “We are fortunate to advance to the Final Four and wouldn’t have done so without a stellar second half from both the offense and defense.”

The Paladins earned the right to host St. Anne-Pacelli Catholic School of Columbus in the semifinal match at Bob Lord Field.

The winner advances to the state finals being held on May 12 at Mercer University in Macon.

King’s Ridge, Mount Pisgah rivalry renewed in state playoffs Patriots’ playoff run ends to familiar foe

LUNCH • DINNER • PATIO SUNDAY BRUNCH

By JOE PARKER news@appenmediagroup.com ALPHARETTA, Ga. — It’s not often the region rivals meet in the playoffs, but when Region 6-A rivals Mount Pisgah and KIng’s Ridge met in the second round of the state playoffs last Wednesday, the ending was familiar for both teams.

With wins of 4-3 and 4-1 in the best-of-three series, King’s Ridge improved their record to 5-0 against the Patriots this season.

The Tigers received solid pitching in both games to secure their spot in the quarterfinals.

Kyle Brnovich threw a complete Game 1, allowing four hits, two earned runs and striking out 14 batters, followed by Frasor Ellard’s performance in Game 2 where he allowed no earned runs and struck out 11 batters.

Brnovich also showed his prowess at the plate in Game 1, hitting 2-3 with a walk and a run scored.

Brnovich’s run scored came in the bottom of the first to tie the game at 1-1 after Mount Pisgah gained the lead in the top of the inning off a Tigers error.

The score remained 1-1 until the bottom of the third began with Mount Pisgah’s starting pitcher Ryan Bostic getting off to a rough start to the inning. Bostic walked and hit the first two batters faced before giving up a hit to Brnovich to load the bases with no outs.

Hits by Will Janofsky and Cullen Monette scored three runs for the Tigers to give them a 4-1 lead.

Mount Pisgah pulled within one run in the top of the fifth when Steven Shields hit a two-run home run to left

In Game 2, the Tigers got out to an early lead when Alden Pascucci sent a deep fly ball to the fence. Pascucci would be thrown out trying to stretch the hit to a triple, but Lawson Hill, who

walked, scored.

Mount Pisgah tied the game at 1-1 in the bottom of the first after a Jacob Cendoya bunt scored Jojo Odachowski, but the Tigers countered with two runs in the second.

Hooch beats Etowah 2-0, captures semifinal berth Cougars have not allowed a goal in playoffs

By JOE PARKER news@appenmediagroup.com JOHNS CREEK, Ga.— After Chattahoochee defeated Etowah 2-0 last Friday to earn a spot in the final four, Chattahoochee students rushed the field, players hugged and yelled in celebration and Chattahoochee’s Assistant Coach Eduardo Coloma had tears in his eyes.

It was quite apparent that this season’s team has something special.

And if the scene after the game wasn’t evidence enough, the win kept Hooch undefeated on the season at 18-0 and was their third straight playoff shutout.

Jackson Siegel and Shane Burke scored for the Cougars and sophomore goalkeeper Jack Corrigan posted his third straight playoff clean sheet and 12th of the season.

After the victory, Head Coach Les Meenan said his team has surpassed his expectations with their success this season, stating it has been a pleasant surprise.

Meenan also said how excited he was that Hooch’s win over Etowah allowed them to continue their season.

“We love our seniors and all our players and we hope to get to play as many games as we can. It’s one more game for the seniors and I’m delighted to have one more game,” said Meenan.

Hooch’s Drew Catapano (11) vies for the ball against an Etowah player.

Chattahoochee goaltender Jack Corrigan posted his third straight shutout against Etowah.

The Cougars’ run this season has been due in large part to their defense, which, along with goalkeeper Corrigan, shut out Etowah and limited the Eagles to four shots on goal, all of which Corrigan saved.

“Our defense this year has been absolutely incredible,” said Meenan. “No opponent has scored more than one goal all year long and we have conceded one goal this year at home. We know that we can trust [our defense].”

Meenan said the game plan against Etowah was to limit their passing, which Meenan said the Eagles do well.

However, it was the Hooch offense that set the tone early.

Just five minutes into the opening half, Chattahoochee took a 1-0 lead on a Siegel header.

Alex Field took a corner kick for the Cougars and was able to find a streaking Siegel on the opposite side of the net. In open space, Siegel buried his header and put Hooch on the scoreboard.

After finding themselves down early, Etowah continually looked for a through pass to a streaking striker for the remainder of the game, but the Hooch defense continually thwarted those attempts.

Etowah put three shots on net in the first half, two of which were long

and easily gathered by Corrigan.

The second half started like the first with Hooch scoring an early goal, again on a corner kick.

Field earned his second assist when his corner connected with Burke just three and a half minutes into the second half. Burke has set the Chattahoochee record for goals in a season this year.

Hooch would create more opportunities to score in the second but were unable to find the net. However, their two-goal lead would prove insurmountable for the Eagles. Etowah’s best scoring chance came with just over 10 minutes remaining in the game when an Etowah corner kick resulted in a melee in front of the net, but after multiple shots and deflections, Corrigan pounced on the loose ball and kept his clean sheet intact.

After their 18th straight victory and first trip to final four since 2011, in which Hooch won the Class 4A state championship, Meenan said their work is far from done.

“We hope it doesn’t happen but we’re not above the fact that we could get beaten.” And for Meenan, that means keeping focused and playing one game at a time.

Hooch will host Parkview in the semifinals.

themselves down 3-0 in the first half, and though they were able to muster a comeback, it was not enough to keep their season alive. The Titans scored three goals in the second half, but East Hall also scored midway through the second, which proved to be enough for their win.

Etowah 0, Chattahoochee 2: The Cougars continued their unbeaten streak with a 2-0 win over Etowah, securing their first trip to the Final Four since they captured the Class 4A state championship in 2011.

The Cougars received two corner kick goals from Jackson Siegel and Shane Burke as their defense and goalkeeper Jack Corrigan posted a shutout for the third straight playoff game. Hooch will take on Parkview in the semifinals.

Alpharetta 2, Parkview 3: The Raiders broke the hearts of Mill Creek in the first round, scoring three goals in the final 12 minutes to keep their season alive.

Against Parkview though, it was a late goal that broke the hearts of the Raiders. Alpharetta led 2-1 when a foul in the box gave Parkview a penalty kick with just 1.3 seconds remaining, which they converted to tie the game.

The Panthers then scored the game-winning goal in the second overtime to deny Alpharetta what would have been their second Final Four appearance.

Mount Pisgah (girls soccer), which was just able to earn a playoff berth, knocked off Mount Paran and Lakeview Academy after missing out on the playoffs last season. to Northgate 1-0. The game remained scoreless through regulation and two overtime periods, bringing the game to the penalty shootout.

Baseball playoff scores

Continued from Page 37 outs when Carter Buchanan hit a sacrifice fly to score Trey Parker from third.

After Parker tagged, the throw came in late to Patriots catcher Steven Shields, resulting in an odd sequence of events.

Shields came in front of the plate to field the throw and caught the Tigers’ Janofsky tagging up and attempting to advance to third base. Shields ran from in front of the mound all the way to Janofsky in the basepath, but when Shields attempted to tag Janofsky, he was forced to dive, dropping the ball in the process.

The ball rolled from Mount Pisgah’s players and Janofsky was able to score, giving the Tigers’ a 3-1 lead.

Janofsky scored again in the top of the fourth inning, hitting a long home run over the left field wall. Janofsky hit 2-4 in the series with 2 RBIs, a walk and two runs scored.

Janofsky’s solo home run would be the last run of the game as Ellard kept the Mount Pisgah offense at bay.

Northgate 2, Forsyth Central 1: It was a thrilling final few minutes for Forsyth Central and Northgate, but it would prove devastating to the Bulldogs. With the game tied at 1-1 in the final minutes, the Bulldogs were awarded a penalty kick but were unable to convert.

Then, in the final minute of the game, a Northgate corner kick led to a goal, which gave Northgate the 2-1 lead and eventual win.

Peach County 0, Blessed Trinity 4: Blessed Trinity scored three firsthalf goals and were able to cruise to a 4-0 shutout over Peach County in the third round.

With a win this week, the Titans will make their fifth straight appearance in the state championship game, but will be seeking their first title since 2011.

Decatur beat BT 1-0 on penalty kicks on March 11.

McIntosh 1, Cambridge 0: McIntosh’s lone goal in the first half would be enough to secure the win in a defensive struggle between the Lady Bears and the Chiefs. The Lady Bears’ appearance in the Elite Eight was their deepest playoff run in program history.

Stratford Academy 5, Mount Pisgah 1: Stratford proved too much for Mount Pisgah, ending the Patriots’ season with a 5-1 win last week. Mount Pisgah, which was just able to earn a playoff berth, knocked off Mount Paran and Lakeview Academy after missing out on the playoffs last season.

Eagle’s Landing Christian Academy 2, Fellowship Christian 6: Fellowship Christian, the defending girls Class A state champions, was able to continue its run for a repeat alive after dominating ECLA.

About the Alpharetta Chamber: The Alpharetta Chamber of Commerce was established in November 2013 by a group of business leaders who wanted to build a business identity for Alpharetta much like the Chambers in Johns Creek, Sandy Springs, and the Roswell INC do for their cities. It was a goal to create an organization that Alpharetta businesses would be proud to be a member of, and use to grow its current and prospective business base.

Already, in two years the Chamber has grown significantly in membership. During the first two “Charter months” (November and December of 2013) the Chamber established a base of 77 Charter Members. After the Chamber’s first full year in 2014, the membership total increased to over 170. As of March 2016, the Chamber sits at over 310 members.

Joining the Chamber gives members the opportunity to take part in several signature events throughout the year. These events include: Women Who Walk the Walk, Golf Net- working League & Golf Tournament, Business Academy, Chamber’s Annual Gala, Thirsty Thursday!, and Alpharetta Restaurant Week.

In addition to its signature events, the Chamber provides an extensive range of benefits to assist its members in networking, education, and marketing. It is also a vehicle for connecting its business community with the general population and showcasing what Alpharetta has to offer for prospective businesses and residents. More information about the Alpharetta Chamber can be found on www.alpharettachamber.com For more information or to apply, email a resume and cover letter to: hans@alpharettachamber.com.
