Lovebirds met at the library Couple reflect on meeting, growing with Alpharetta branch By JONATHAN COPSEY jonathan@appenmediagroup.com

JONATHAN COPSEY/STAFF

Ed and Mitzi Schepps first met at the old Alpharetta Public Library. Each year they come back to celebrate that day.

ALPHARETTA, Ga. – Love takes many forms. For Ed and Mitzi Schepps, that form was the old Alpharetta Public Library. Each year for 24 years, the couple have returned to the library to celebrate how they met. Mitzi said they were both part of a bike ride in August 1991 that took riders through Alpharetta and the surrounding area. It began and ended in the parking lot of the Alpharetta Library on Mayfield Road. While Ed was a seasoned

cyclist, Mitzi was a neophyte, struggling through the “easy” 18-mile ride. To top it off, when she finished, rain had set in. “I had no idea what I was doing,” Mitzi said. Rain-soaked, Mitzi finished the ride and pulled into the library parking lot. There, beneath his SUV’s hatchback, was Ed, eating Fig Newtons. Mitzi sought shelter and food and the couple began to chat. By the end of the conversation (and food) Ed had asked Mitzi out on a date that evening. “She was into the outdoors,” said Ed about what attracted him to Mitzi. “That was a big thing for me. Biking was important, and she was a veterinarian and a smart woman.” The attraction was similar

Milton resident travels to D.C. to lobby for cancer research Offering ‘Lights of Hope’ to be placed by reflecting pool By JOE PARKER news@appenmediagroup.com MILTON, Ga. - Milton resident and American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network Georgia State Ambassador Brenda Hamstead will travel to Washington, D.C. Sept. 27-30 as a part of National Lobby Day in an effort to ensure national

funding for cancer research. Hamstead will be joined by ACS CAN representatives from 14 Georgia congressional districts, including Phillip Hurd from District 6. Hamstead will meet with congressmen and senators from around the country to push for legislation that would improve cancer research funding. She will also work to forward a Palliative Care Act, governing end-of-life care, and to improve the availability of colorectal cancer screenings. “One of our main objec-

tives is to hold our legislators accountable for protecting cancer research funds,” said Hamstead. “We try and recommit them every time we meet with them.” According to Hamstead, “Every day we are getting closer to better treatments and therapies, but as long as funding lacks, we are leaving these treatments on the cutting room floor. We want to invest in the treatments to save lives.” During her time at the

When they could not provide a receipt, they were denied. The women then asked for a bag to put them in, and again were denied. The women then left. A check of inventory showed the jackets were stolen. A check of the women’s possessions at the time of arrest turned up several items of clothing from different stores without receipts. Both were charged with shoplifting.

Johns Creek resident sentenced for cocaine trafficking Given 17 years in federal prison ATLANTA - Ricky Nuckles, 41, has been sentenced to 17 years, 7 months in federal prison for trafficking 22 kilograms of cocaine and for possessing a firearm in furtherance of that offense. Nuckles was found guilty by a jury on May 13, 2015. He was caught by an offduty DEA agent who witnessed a drug transaction. “One of our most solemn responsibilities is to protect the public from the blight of illegal narcotics,” said U.S. Attorney John Horn. “Thanks to a vigilant off-duty DEA agent, 22 kilograms of cocaine is off the streets, and Nuckles’ drugtrafficking days are finished.” On the morning of Dec. 23, 2013, Nuckles parked his car beside a pump at a gas station on Cheshire Bridge Road in Atlanta and entered the station’s convenience store. As he entered, Nuckles placed a call on

his cell phone. Moments later, a second car entered the gas station and parked beside the defendant’s car. The driver of the second car NUCKLES then carried a large suitcase over to Nuckles’ car, placed it inside, and quickly returned to his car and drove away. The defendant watched the delivery through the store’s window and remotely locked his car the moment the suitcase was placed inside. Unbeknownst to Nuckles, an off-duty DEA agent was also at the gas station that morning, and watched the delivery happen while waiting in line for an emissions inspection. The agent confronted Nuckles as he attempted to return to

his car and leave the station. The agent identified himself, and after explaining what he saw, Nuckles fled back inside the convenience store and immediately discarded the cell phone he used to arrange the drug delivery. When Nuckles exited the store the second time, the agent was still waiting by Nuckles’ car. After learning that the defendants had a loaded firearm next to his driver’s seat, the agent placed himself between Nuckles and the car and dialed 911.

Minutes later, additional DEA agents and uniformed Atlanta Police Department officers arrived at the gas station. Nuckles consented to a search of the suitcase, inside which agents found 22 kilograms of cocaine with a wholesale value of approximately $750,000. Agents also found an FN model 57 handgun and two 25-round extended magazines next to the driver’s seat of the car, within easy reach.

Attackers force way into woman’s home Beat, restrain her before fleeing JOHNS CREEK, Ga. – A Johns Creek resident is safe after two men burst into her home Aug. 14 and tried to rob and restrain her. According to the victim, she was home alone about 9 p.m. on Laketrail Drive, off Morton Road, when someone rang her doorbell. Two men were at the door. She did not open the door and instead asked what they wanted. One man said they were delivering Chinese food. The victim said she did not order anything and she refused to open the door. Not content with this answer, the man at the door continued ringing the bell and knocking repeatedly. Eventually, the victim cracked open the door. One suspect took that opportunity to barge into the house, punch the victim and,

using a handgun, pistol-whip her. The other suspect remained outside. The man demanded money. When the victim did not cooperate, he produced a roll of duct tape and tried to tape her mouth shut. She struggled, scratching the man’s face. When the man began trying to push the victim outside, she began screaming for help. At this point, the men fled. A neighbor who was walking his dog heard the victim’s calls for help and saw the suspects fleeing, police say. Surveillance cameras at the entrance of the neighborhood captured the suspects, both described as black men. The attacker is additionally described as being in his 30s with a gold grill on his teeth. Nothing was taken from the home, although the suspect dropped a hat, duct tape and

Local film tackles LGBT homelessness Filmmaker’s first foray into directing By JONATHAN COPSEY jonathan@appenmediagroup.com ATLANTA, Ga. – Homelessness among youths is a tragic issue. However, among LGBT teens, it is a severe and troubling issue. As many as 50 percent of homeless teens in Atlanta may be members of the local lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender population This percentage is similar in other metro areas, says local actor and Roswell City Councilmember Kent Igleheart. When he heard these numbers, he was shocked. “It’s hard to believe. I had no idea,” he said. “I did research and decided this was a story that lends itself well to make a film: There are different conflicts and things happening in real time. It’s perfect for a dramatic story.” Igleheart, who has acted for about 10 years, researched LGBT homelessness and poured what he learned into the short film “Unconditional,”

his first foray behind the lens as a writer, director and producer. He said he was looking to create a film and was considering many different themes and stories. The homeless issue was ultimately the best option, he said, explaining, “This is an issue that is so timely.” The film is 28 minutes long and follows the story of Bradley, a teen who comes out to his parents over Thanksgiving dinner. It does not go well and Bradley ends up on the street experiencing a host of different situations, including eventually coming to a shelter that takes him in. “It’s not a true story,” Igleheart said, “but everything is based on something that happened to a real person.” There are many factors contributing to the LGBT teen homeless problem, Igleheart said. When teenagers out to their families, their home lives may become intolerable, whether parents know it or not. This can cause teens to run away. “The parents have either kicked them out or made them so uncomfortable they run away,” Igleheart said.

The film “Unconditional” highlights the issues of homelessness among LGBT teens. It was created by Roswell Councilmember Kent Igleheart.

Religion may also play a part in the homeless problem for these kids, he said. “It is often a religious belief that the parents have not been able to handle it when their child comes out,” he said. “There are different beliefs on what the Bible says on LGBT. I’m trying to show all sides of the issue.” Characters in Igleheart’s short film are torn between their love for their gay son and

their desire to follow what their preacher is telling them the Bible says. They are not bad people, Igleheart said, but they are given what they interpret as a difficult either-or decision. The film has had one public screening so far – a rough cut was shown at the Gwinnett Center International Film Festival in early August. It received a nomination for best short film.

“I’m very happy about it,” he said. Igleheart said the film’s next public showing will be at the “Out on Film” film festival Oct. 1-8 at the Landmark Midtown Art Cinema, Atlanta. For more about “Unconditional,” visit the website at unconditionalfilm.com. Information about Lost-n-Found Youth, Atlanta’s only nonprofit LGBT homeless shelter, is at LNFY.org.

As seen on TV: Jared the crook, pedophile For 15 years, Jared Fogle has been the face of a healthy lifestyle (and Subway restaurants) on TV. He said if you eat right and exercise, you can lose weight. That’s a good message and I thank him for saying something useful rather than the “Eat what you want and lose weight fast! Doctors hate it!” message we tend to get in advertising. Apparently, Subway attributes between one-third to one-half of its growth between 1998-2011 to Jared and his commercials. And he was local for me. I grew up in and around Indianapolis, and so did he. He

attended Indiana University (friends don’t let friends go to IU) whereas I attended Purdue. Close enough. He was a likeable guy and, as a nation, we liked him. He was a success story. However, if there is one thing we as a people enjoy more than a rising star, it is a falling one. For those who have not heard, Jared has pled guilty to soliciting sex with minors and possession of child pornography. I don’t think I need to even say that these are horrific, inexcusable crimes. We are also finding out Jared’s a crook. He started the

What's really going on with Donald Trump? It shouldn't surprise anyone what is happening in the polls with Donald Trump. It makes perfect sense, I think. This country is fed up. We're tired of being tired. Trump, with all of his bombast and posturing, has tapped into that frustration. Trump is not the cure, however. He is the symptom. We're tired of a government that cannot or will not govern. I am talking about Congress both parties. We are tired of the continuing congressional brinksmanship – the threat of letting government “shut down” or “go broke” if this group or that group doesn’t get its way. The country is tired of these manufactured crises on Capitol Hill. Learn how to reach across the aisle or go home, dear elected folk. We're tired of your collective lame, no-account, unacceptable behavior. You aren't doing what you were elected to do: to get things done, to govern. Compromise is not a dirty word. At home, we see the breakdown of society. Many of us are scared by so many Americans being killed by law enforcement, and yet it continues to happen. It is becoming commonplace to have a new American massacre where someone from the lunatic fringe snaps and starts shooting in theaters and schools with automatic weapons. Congress wrings its hands, points fingers – often in different directions – but does exactly nothing. That is, until the next shooting, then the cycle repeats itself. We're frustrated that we have spent the last 10 years in the Middle East fighting wars that cost billions of dollars and thousands of lives, and all that has been accomplished is mak-

RAY APPEN

Publisher ray@appen mediagroup.com ing the Middle East the most destabilized theater anywhere in the world. We are subjected to mass beheadings and precious millennia-year-old artifacts being dynamited on YouTube, and we seem powerless to stop it. We're ready for this economy to recover – I mean really recover. The scope and depth of the economic struggle by what has been accurately called the "middle class" is desperately real and brutal. Real wages haven't increased in years and "inflation" that we're told doesn't exist does exist, and in a big way. Everything is more expensive today except gasoline. Inflation is hovering above the heads of so many who struggle just to pay for basic food and shelter, and it is smothering them. We're scared – at least most of us are because we're literally destroying the very air and environment in which we exist. Yet, many of our politicians repeatedly say, “It just ain't so.” Really? Ask a firefighter out West right now. Ask a farmer out West. Ask about the hottest years on record, the droughts, the massive storms in places we have never had storms before. It's all a coincidence, right? Technology is making many billionaires but It's also putting thousands out of work. To those whom much is given, much is expected. We're tired of those who just take. That is not an American value.

Now Into this national mess steps Donald Trump, who says he will fix everything – that he will hold people accountable and brook no nonsense. He'll "fix" immigration, bomb Iran, make Mexico build its own wall – all 1,900 miles of it. And he’ll “make” Mexico pay for it. See? Immigration problem solved. Most of us see his ruse – that anyone who tells people what they want to hear can be popular, at least until it is put-up-or-shut-up time. Talk, that's the easy part. The trouble is, it is only part of what we all want. We want the country to actually work again, for our government to work, and for our country to stand for something for which we can be proud again. Is anyone surprised at the reaction to those Americans who stopped the terror attack on the train in France? We are desperate for our country to show initiative and courage to do the right thing, We want to be that country again. To again be that country the rest of the world has looked up to for so long. We're willing to work for it. We're willing to sacrifice for it. But we're not willing to endure much more of the status quo. So now we are approaching the moment a choice must be made. Trump is an opportunist, but he is still just the huckster selling the sizzle, not the steak. He has no real plan, just calculated positions to play up to a constituency by espousing simple answers for complex issues. Yep, Trump phenomenon makes sense to me – perfect sense. People are simply fed up with politics as usual. But he is just the symptom. We want someone who can put this country to work again.

not given a single grant since it was created, instead paying most of its revenue to Taylor. I am not, however, writing this column as a condemnation of Jared and his ilk. Rather, it’s about just how “normal” those committing such acts can be. We have written extensively on the fight against sex trafficking and child exploitation, and how Atlanta is one of the largest hubs of child prostitution in the country. “And with much of the wealth concentrated in Atlanta’s northside, much of the related commerce is, too — someone is buying these children and prostitutes, someone is keeping their

pimps in business. Chances are, it’s someone we know — a neighbor, friend, co-worker, churchgoer, golfing partner or other upstanding member of the community. Like Jared. That’s what frightens me more than anything about this story. Fraud is one thing. Sex with minors is abominable. But it’s simply how “normal” Jared seemed, how he was in our homes and we liked him and his story. He was our friend and now we know the truth of his secret preferences. After this, I will certainly be more careful about believing what I see on TV.

When will the violence end? I sit here writing this after covering a meeting. It’s a typical day for me and the rest of our newsroom. We’re talking to local citizens who are doing great things, talking to police officers about car accidents and sitting through government meetings. We work on our feature stories, opinion pieces and hard news to make sure our readers have the most accurate news possible. This is the same type of day Alison Parker and Adam Ward were having Aug. 26 when they went out to cover a garden-variety story about the local water park celebrating 40 years of business. Alison, a 24-year-old reporter, was speaking to Vicki Gardner of the local chamber of commerce while Adam, a 27-year-old photographer, was filming the interview. The trio was blindsided when a man came up to them and opened fire, killing Alison and Adam and injuring Vicki. They were not filming a protest or something dangerous. They were filming the celebration of their community’s water park, the type of seemingly unprovocative story that local news reporters cover daily. In fact, a few weeks ago I covered a 40th celebration of The Place. It could have happened there. It could happen anywhere. Local reporters go out into the community trusting the public. Jovita Moore, a reporter with WSB-TV in Atlanta, said it best: “They were doing their jobs. That’s all. Every newsroom in this country is shaken to its core. Bringing viewers pictures and interviews from our communities is what we do. We

ask for your trust through our reporting every day, and we do our jobs every day trusting the public, too. Our jobs are done where you live and work; on avenues and side streets, in front of churches and corporate skyscrapers. You can find us in parks, parking lots and on piers, too. I’m afraid a line has been crossed and my colleagues — rookie and veteran, big market and small — will feel a little less trustful of our public, every day.” To make matters worse, Adam’s fiancee is the morning news director for the same Virginia TV station so she was watching the interview, as she has every morning, and had to witness her fiance’s murder live. Alison just turned 24 and recently moved in with her boyfriend, who also worked at the station and was at work when the murder happened. Later that day, reports came out that the shooter was allegedly 41-year-old Vester Lee Flanigan, also known as Bryce Williams. He was a former employee of the station and he posted on social media prior to the shooting that Alison made racist comments but they still hired her and that Adam reported Flanigan to human

Registration opens for 25th Jackson named 400m Jr Olympic champ annual Rivers Alive cleanup MILTON, Ga. – Milton resident Ryan Jackson achieved her goal of becoming the 400m Junior Olympic champion. Several thousand athletes compete in each age category from around the nation just to get the chance to compete on the big stage at the Junior Olympics. Through a very rigorous qualification process, athletes are narrowed down to the top few who can achieve the top marks in their respective events. Jackson earned this second title after completing her fifth season of track and field. Starting with the indoor season, she began training with Coach Tony Carpenter of the Titans Track Club (Roswell, Ga) in October of 2014. Through careful selection of competition, Jackson was able to train effectively while competing in meets which would help her develop without experiencing significant burnout. At the Amateur Athletic Union (AAU) Club Nationals in Orlando, she finally had her breakthrough moment. In her signature race, the 400m, she dropped from a 57.75 second personal record to a 55.80 second win as a 12year old in the 13 Girls category. As she advanced to the USATF Junior Olympics in Jacksonville, Florida, Jackson earned a Bronze in the 13-14 Girls 4x100 relay (47.11) and Silver in the 4x400 relay (3.49.82). Still eager for that Gold medal win, Jackson traveled to the AAU Junior Olympics in Hampton, Virginia, and won the first place medal with 57.59. After winning the gold in the 11 Girls Long Jump in 2013, Ryan is now a two-time AAU All American Junior Olympic Champion. —Zenzele Price-Richardson

That drop is due solely to a sharply declining growth rate in the education subsector -4 percent in Atlanta. RAJEEV DHAWAN, director of the Georgia State University Economic Forecasting Center

JOIN TODAY: 770-993-8806 • WWW.GNFCC.COM

Metro housing up 16.7 percent Jobs growth slower than 2014 By HATCHER HURD hatcher@appenmediagropup.com ATLANTA, Ga. – The housing market is showing some robust growth as housing permits continue to grow in 2015. Housing permits are up 16.7 percent over the same period a year ago. Rajeev Dhawan, director of the Georgia State University Economic Forecasting Center, said at his quarterly forecast Aug. 27 that housing and construction began gaining momentum this spring after a cold winter stall. The core cluster of Fulton, Cobb, DeKalb and Gwinnett issued 9,352 permits in the first half of 2015. That is a nearly 20 percent jump over same time last year. Single-family permits totaled 3,886 in the first half of 2014. The first six months of 2015 yielded 4,437 home permits. For the cluster as a whole, multifamily permits were up by nearly 25 percent (4,915) over 2014 same period. Dhawan said he expects to see total core-cluster permit activity ramp up 7.4 percent overall above 2014 in both single-family and multifamily units. However, North Fulton should expect few multifamily projects other than those associated with senior living.

Multifamily permits fell 1.4 percent in the core cluster, but should see more activity this year and 2016, mostly due to DeKalb DHAWAN construction and the new Braves development in Cobb. Single-family permits should hit close to 10,000 in 2017. The northern cluster consisting of Forsyth, Cherokee and Pickens counties had 2.6 percent growth in total housing permits in the first half of 2015 over last year. However, multifamily units are down. Employment is up, with Georgia economy creating 35,400 new jobs in the first six months of 2015. “But that is marked by a sharp slowdown from the last six months of 2014 in which 79,000 jobs were created,” Dhawan said. “But the second half of 2015 will be better. We expect 47,500 new jobs over the next six months. That will give us 82,000 new jobs for the year, a growth rate of 2.6 percent.” Dhawan says 23,400 of those jobs statewide will be premium jobs commanding $100,000 pay or salaries. The Atlanta market will capture 62,400 of the new jobs created with 16,200 of those new jobs (26 percent) falling in the premium category.

Contrary to the national trend, health care and education employment fell slightly in Georgia, Dhawan said. “The growth rate weakened from an increase of 3.2 percent in fourth quarter 2014 to 2.7 percent in the second quarter 2015,” he said. “However in metro Atlanta it actually fell 0.3 percent in the second quarter. “That drop is due solely to a sharply declining growth rate in the education subsector [-4 percent) in Atlanta,” Dhawan said. “The health care subsector added jobs at a 2.7 percent

rate.” With enrollment up across the Atlanta region, Dhawan expects hiring, particularly teachers, to return. He had good news for the information sector which has had weak job additions recently where the region is usually strong. “It gained momentum this year. Following a loss of 1,200 jobs in the last half of 2014, payrolls expanded by 600 in the first six months of this year,” he said. “The information sector is expected to expand in the metro region in the

coming years. “It benefits from a robust fiber optic infrastructure coupled with low-cost electrical generation and a reliable power grid.” Despite a number of major construction projects underway statewide, construction employment has decelerated from last year where the last six months had 4.4 percent positive growth. This year has seen negative 1.3 percent growth the first half of 2015.

Growth: Continued from Page 16 “Large commercial construction and multifamily projects require fewer per capita workers,” Dhawan said. Those projects are able to capture economies of scale and time that you don’t find in single-family construction. The corporate sector is faring well despite a negative 1 percent drop the first quarter of 2015. It rebounded nicely with 7.2 percent growth in the second quarter. That is further spurred by the announcements of several blockbuster announcements of corporate headquarters moving to metro Atlanta. These include the $100 million relocation by Porsche at Hartsfield Jackson International Airport and Mercedes

Benz to Sandy Springs. Atlanta is also leading the pack for the General Electric relocation out of Connecticut, although Texas and New York City are entering the fray. Each new HQ announcement fuels the housing market – single family and multifamily. The millennials are also heating up the multifamily market in Atlanta, where rentals are affordable and arts, culture and entertainment are plentiful. The 2010 census showed millennials made up nearly a quarter (23.6 percent) of the Atlanta population. This shows Atlanta outstripping Charlotte and Dallas, which show far less millennial growth. They are expected to be the backbone of the corporate workforce, and Dallas and Charlotte are major competitors in attracting high-tech employees.

Roswell hopes a city green will alleviate parking issues on Canton Street while also spurring redevelopment along Ga. 9.

Invention helps prevent DUIs by mimicking police lights.

Local man creates device to prevent DUIs By KATHLEEN STURGEON kathleen@appenmediagroup.com CUMMING, Ga. — After moving to America in 2013 from the Republic of Mali in West Africa, Demba Gadiaga was shocked at how people reacted to the police. “It doesn’t matter if the person is white, black, rich or poor, the population is so afraid of the police,” said Gadiaga, of Cumming. “It was amazing when they would see the police lights on the highway and everyone would put their feet on the brake to slow down.” Gadiaga was further confounded by the subject of DUIs — namely, the dearth of options to help keep drunk drivers off the roads. Other than breathalyzers or courtmandated ignition interlock devices, he wasn’t aware of any truly helpful preventative measures that might keep people from drinking and driving in the first place. All he had to do was think of how drivers here slow down when they see police, and Gadiaga had the concept for Not Tonight, a DUI-prevention device that features flashing red and blue lights that, he said, “will trigger your subconscious into doing the right thing.” He quit his job as a personal trainer and martial arts instructor, went to work creating a prototype for Not Tonight and is now working with a company in China to mass produce

the apparatus. Not Tonight is a small, plug-in unit that uses the car cellphone charger port or cigarette lighter, depending on GADIAGA the vehicle’s age, and stays plugged in at all times. It flashes a blue and red light, similar to a police car, for 15 seconds as soon as the car is turned on. “It’s a reminder like the police are in your car,” Gadiaga said. “We all know if you get stopped for a DUI, you go to jail and who stops you? The police. How do you know you’ve been stopped? The blue and red flashing light behind you.” Gadiaga has had the prototype in his car for eight months and he said it scares him out of his mind, even though he never drinks and drives. He said he has let people try it and they had the same feeling. “I feel proud and blessed to do something that can prevent deaths and accidents,” Gadiaga said. He spends a lot of his time going to gas stations to speak with managers about putting Not Tonight on their shelves and, so far, he said he’s been successful. For information on Not Tonight, visit http://www. saynotodui.com/home.html.

City green plan could have economic impact Development, better parking possible for Canton St. By JONATHAN COPSEY jonathan@appenmediagroup.com ROSWELL, Ga. – As trendy as Roswell’s Canton Street is, one of its biggest features is not on the menu – parking. While there are small parking lots dotted around the periphery of the street, many are typically full on nights and weekends and drivers can spend much of their time circling the streets, waiting for a spot to open up. Yet there are 400 open spaces only a few hundred feet from Canton Street’s southern tip. And no one knows about them. Theses spaces are at Roswell City Hall, which backs up to Ga. 9 and Canton Street but is divided from all the action by woods. Paths crisscross the woods in an effort to link the two sides but at night they can be lonesome. While talk over the years brought up the possibility of a parking deck near Canton Street, such an expensive proposition may be overlooking all those spots at city hall. A proposed city green project seeks to fix that. Under the plans, the city will clear a swath of trees to create a town green, line it with lights and water features, and ultimately join it to Canton Street via a tunnel beneath Ga. 9. Elements of the master plan concept include a plaza, central green, outdoor event garden, support buildings, walkways, landscaping, updated Heart of Roswell Park and other amenities. Estimates for the project are as high as $14.5 million. “The idea behind this project is you have a connection [across Ga. 9] and access to 400 parking spaces at city hall, helping with the parking demand,” said Andrew Antweiler, a planner with the City of Roswell. Members of Roswell’s Downtown Development Authority, the body behind the city green plan, have said they see the project as a catalyst with the potential to stimulate additional reinvestment in the surrounding area and to enhance Roswell’s downtown by creating an active gathering place for citizens

Roswell hopes a city green will alleviate parking issues on Canton Street while also spurring redevelopment along Ga. 9.

and visitors. Public money, if used correctly, can spur private development by an order of magnitude. A case in point is Canton Street. The city invested just over $1 million to install lampposts and put down bricks instead of cement. While some in the community then opposed the idea, in the end, Canton Street was revitalized and became the restaurant and art hub it is today. The trick to solving Canton Street’s parking dilemma is linking city hall and its parking spaces to the area people want to visit. Plans call for a tunnel beneath Ga. 9. While there are currently two crosswalks, “Alpharetta Street (Ga. 9) is like a barrier for pedestrians and activities,” said Antweiler. Funding has not been decided upon, Antweiler said, although there are options. Bonds could be taken out or the city could partner with outside groups or agencies. The city could also go it alone and pay-as-it-goes. The project is still in the planning phases, with the next update coming Sept. 16 before the City Council. After that it will be in their hands how best to proceed, if at all. Antweiler said if approval is given in the coming months, the project could begin construction next year.

Safety and security in the connected home (NAPSI)—Homeowners can stay safe and secure with connected home technology. Connected home technology offers a variety of benefits, especially when installed in a space such as the garage, which homeowners use almost every day. In fact, a recent study by iControl Networks found that 90 percent of homeowners view personal and family security as one of the most important reasons for installing a connected home system. If you’re looking to integrate connected home devices into your house, and specifically the garage, keep these tips in mind for added safety, security and convenience. 1. As you examine potential devices, keep an eye out for products that improve home accessibility and convenience. Seventy percent of homeowners use the garage as the main point of entry to and from the house, and with LiftMaster’s MyQ technology, they can open, close and control their garage door opener anytime, from anywhere. Plus, with MyQ, homeowners have the added convenience of controlling home, garden or garage lighting systems all from the MyQ app, and no longer have to worry about stepping into

an unlit house. 2. When searching for the best connected home device, be sure to choose one that can work with multiple operating systems and devices. A device that works with both Apple and Android systems, gives you greater flexibility when integrating additional devices and apps in and around your connected home. 3. The garage door can often be the heaviest moving object in the house, and it’s very important to make sure it operates safely. Look for connected devices integrated with signaling capabilities—either visual or audio warnings—to ensure those nearby are aware when a garage door is closing or opening. 4. Finally, think about apps and devices that can help increase your home’s security. Chances are, you already get alerts on your phone for a variety of reasons. Now you can receive an alert on that same device when the garage door is left open. MyQ technology sends homeowners text alerts on the status of their garage door for added security and peace of mind. “You can check if your garage door is secure anytime, from anywhere, whether you’re at

Connected home technology can help homeowners stay safe and secure. work, running errands, or on vacation,” said Juan Lopez, director of marketing, Connectivity and Controls at LiftMaster. With these helpful tips, homeowners can take the first steps to making

their home a safe and secure connected home. Learn More For additional information on connected home technology and garage door openers, visit www. LiftMaster.com.

What’s cooking in kitchens today (NAPSI)-If you’ve been thinking—or just dreaming—of a remodeled or upgraded kitchen, a look at the latest trends may prove inspiring. Industry experts say today’s kitchens are influenced, on the one hand, by the very industrial appliances you see in restaurants and on the other, by the maker movement in genres such as foodie, reclaimed and do-it-yourself. Particularly popular are these four styles: Kitchen Design Trends 1. The Classic Kitchen. For this look, use bold colors and

mix and match materials used for cabinets and countertops. Open shelving is still popular, but glass doors with and without pattern are trending as well. When it comes to the kitchen sink, it’s all about the basin. Modular or apron sinks, and single-basin sinks are where the flow is going. Sleek and professional-grade stainless steel appliances serve to balance the color scheme of this kitchen while furnishings provide pops of colors and feature larger-scale hardware. Fixtures feature warm finishes

in tones of gold, brushed brass and copper. It’s a bright idea to light up this kitchen with distinctive, unusual lighting pieces over an island or dining table. Look for tiles that tell of texture, geometrics, neutral shades, artisan looks and craftsmanship to use against the wall. 2. Farmhouse Kitchen. For a homemade attitude with a farm-to-table feel, go for brightly colored or neutral painted cabinets. Find lighting, furniture and accessories that have a handmade, antique feel. They

Distressing the new can be nice and it’s easily done with certain stain techniques and a little roughing up of the wood. Wrought iron and dark metals, natural stone and reclaimed materials add to the warm and inviting atmosphere. 3. Black and White Kitchen. Here, high contrast and bold graphic patterns in classic black and white create a backdrop for a few pops of color in accessories and kitchenware. The restaurant influence is particularly prominent in this kitchen and so is Factory Chic, consisting of dark, rich painted wood, modular and apron sinks, with lots of builtin accessories and professional-grade appliances. Use task lighting to highlight focal points such as wall sconces.

4. The Sophisticated Naturalist Kitchen. For a bright clean look, this kitchen comes in several shades of gray or brown. Soft, natural-colored or palely painted wood adds a refined vintage look. Organic textures in rugs and linens provide depth while accent colors are understated and nature inspired. Sleek, professional-grade, stainless steel appliances balance out this look and blend beautifully with the gray color pallete. For reliable, heavy-duty, professional-grade, stainless steel appliances, many people turn to the Frigidaire Professional series. These offer a simple design and elevated cooking experience and fit in

The Dangers of Overpricing Your Home There is one mistake that nearly half of sellers make: overpricing their property. Buyer interest is at its highest when a home first hits the market. If a property is priced too high during these first few weeks, it will not attract potential buyers. Pricing your home too high – because you paid a certain amount for it or because of the sentimental value it has to you – is a sure way to stall the successful sale of your property. You are putting your home on the market to sell it. This

may seem like an obvious point, but you would be surprised how many people forget this fact when they begin the process of RAWLINGS listing their home. What your home means to you must come to terms with the fair market value. Although home improvements can increase the value of your property, it is more likely these

upgrades will simply help the home sell faster than others without similar renovations. You might think, ‘I spent a certain amount on a home improvement and should be able to recoup that cost by tacking it onto the list price,’ but that is not always the case. All buyers care about is paying the closest to fair market value as possible. Buyers will avoid a home that seems pricier than others in the surrounding area. They have canvassed the open houses, they have seen what

is available and they know what homes like yours are selling for. By overpricing your home, you create the need to reduce the price at a later time in order to compete with the listings that are really in your price range. Unfortunately, it is too little too late. Even though a price cut or two will reflect the home’s estimated market value, the listing has already been on the market for months. Potential buyers see a listing like this and start to wonder what’s wrong with the home and expect an even lower price.

Cooking: Continued from Page 22 just about any new or current home. The collection is affordably priced and compatible with standard-sized spaces so each piece can easily fit into existing kitchens. When shopping for appliances, it’s also a smart idea to look for: • Convenient storage options, so snacks and meal ingredients are easily accessible.

Before you put your home on the market, take a few hours and visit nearby open houses. Compare your home’s strengths and weaknesses to other listings and take into consideration their listing price. Buyers are cautious when making a big investment like this and are not willing to pay more than the actual market value for a property. The best way to sell your home fast is to price it right to begin with. Article adapted from Zillow Talk: The New Rules of Real Estate

• Energy-efficient and multi-functional options that make food prep, storage and cooking more convenient and provide small-space solutions. • Seamless integration of technology paired with a universal design accessible for any age and ability, especially as aging-in-place and multigeneration homes are increasingly popular.

When is the right time to buy and sell real estate? By Jennifer Pino Atlanta Fine Homes Sotheby’s International Realty Most people have heard real estate agents refer to the busy “spring market” as the time when homebuyers and sellers are out in full force in the marketplace. Does that mean you shouldn’t try to buy or sell real estate any other time of year? Not necessarily. There are practical reasons for many buyers to be out and about in the spring. Once the warmth of spring begins, many people like to get outside and look at homes after a winter spent cooped up indoors. Although they may have considered a move, perhaps they did not want the hassle of trying to move in freezing cold temperatures. For many people, it comes down to transitioning kids at the end of the school year. For these folks, the spring mar-

ket is an easy and natural fit. Many real estate agents and sellers anticipate the flood of potential buyers and rush to get ready and on the market in the early months of the year. Although the spring market is the busiest time in real estate, that does not mean that it is always the best time to buy and sell. Along with serious buyers in spring, there are many people who just like to get out and look. People who aren’t quite sure what they are after and want to test the waters are out “kicking tires,” looking at homes and attending open houses. On the other hand, in the fall there tends to be a larger percentage of serious buyers. Buyers in the offseason are typically looking because they have a reason to move. From the birth of a third child, to a divorce or relocation, there are multiple life

events that require a change in domicile regardless of when they occur. Couple this with the fact that there is lower market inventory, meaning less competition, and you have what may be a great situation for a potential seller. This off-season market can also work well for buyers. For those people relocating, there may be fewer homes on the market, meaning you may take a little longer to find that perfect house. However, due to fewer buyers in the marketplace, you are less likely to be put in a high-pressure

multiple-offer situation where you are competing with other buyers for a home. These situations can sometimes lead to buyer’s remorse during the contract period and often these deals may be the ones that end up falling apart in the end. The reduced pressure in the offseason may make for a more reasonable negotiating period and a more satisfying experience. In the end, it is the needs of the buyer and seller that should dictate their course of action. Regardless of the season, if a buyer has a need,

they should feel confident that a professional REALTOR® should be able to assist them in making a successful purchase. Just as any time of year, if a seller has adequately prepared and priced their home, and a REALTOR® markets the home in its best possible light, they are likely to have a positive selling experience.

FOOTBALL PREVIEW, NORTH FORSYTH AT CHATTAHOOCHEE:

Cougars look to outduel Raiders PREDICTING THE GAME:

LOCK OF THE WEEK ‘Hooch 27

North Forsyth 14

See more predictions below.

The Raiders’ offense is predicated on the run game, therefore the Cougars will need to step up their rush defense. The Cougars’ passing game should look to exploit the Raiders’ defensive backs with three first-year starters filling in the holes left by graduation last season. The Cougars will have taken advantage of their bye week, allowing their run defense to recuperate and refocus. They should be able to move the ball through the air with the lack of starting experience in the Raiders’ defensive backs. Our prediction: Chattahoochee 27-North Forsyth 14.

JOHNSC CREEK, Ga. – Last season, Chattahoochee opened up region play with a 20-17 win over the Raiders of North Forsyth. The game featured a battle between the Cougars’ passing game and the Raiders’ running game. Chattahoochee’s quarterback, David Nicoletta, threw for 251 yards and two touchdowns on 17 completions. Meanwhile, North Forsyth kept the ball on the ground, with four rushers garnering over 40 yards. The Raiders ended the game with 266 yards on the ground. This year, Chase Owens is at quarterback while David Nicoletta shares rushing duties with Blake Hundley. The Cougars’ defense must rebound after they allowed 607 offensive yards against Cherokee on Aug. 21, falling to the Warriors 51-23. The Cougars’ defensive will have to stop Raider back Simon Holcomb, a player that head coach Jason Galt said he believes “may be the best athlete in [Forsyth] county.” Against Cherokee, the Cougars allowed 413 rushing yards, including two over 50 yards.

Fulton Science Academy opens as private school Students enter new building for new year

Fulton Science Academy Private School by the numbers

By JONATHAN COPSEY jonathan@appenmediagroup.com ALPHARETTA, Ga. – After several years and not a few hiccups along the way, the Fulton Science Academy reopened its doors Aug. 27 as a private school. The 72,000-square-foot building sits on 18 acres of land along Encore Parkway, across Ga. 400 from North Point Mall. Students began classes Aug. 24. At the grand opening, Principal Kenan Sener greeted his students in the cafetorium with arms raised to cheers of “FSA!” by the student body. “This has been a long journey,” Sener said. “Three years ago we were a charter school with 101 students. Now we are a private school, and have a new building and 365 students.” The school focuses on science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) subjects, yet Sener said there is still plenty of encouragement for creativity and self-expression. The students of the FSA Private School routinely land in the top slots in local, state and national competitions in STEM fields. He attributes the school’s repeated academic successes to “lots of hands-on activities and inquisitive and project-based learning.” The road has been rocky for FSA. A charter school for 10 years, the school had a reputation for topping Fulton County’s academic lists. In 2012 the school ran afoul of county

Officials cut the ribbon, officially opening the FSA Private School Aug. 27. regulators and ultimately lost its charter. The governing board decided to switch to a private school. “After 10 years, even though we were successful, there was no other option. We became a private school,” Sener said. The new state-of-the-art school cost about $15 million, Sener said. The money came from private funding. “This is a big upgrade for us,” he said. The grand opening featured dignitaries such as Sen. John

Albers and State School Superintendent Richard Woods. Enes Kaner, a 6-foot-11 player for the Oklahoma City Thunder basketball team, was on hand. However, even he was not the tallest person in the room. That honor was for Sultan Kosen, the tallest man on Earth (according to Guinness World Records), standing at 8-foot-3. He was head-andshoulders taller than Kaner. Sener said he hopes to begin offering high school classes next year. A second phase of construction is planned that

going in the right direction.” The Fulton Science Academy Private School is located at 3035 Fanfare Way, Alpharetta, and online at www.fultonscienceacademy.org.

Submit your news & photos to news@appenmediagroup.com | Recycled paper now mine gets to continue while hers ended abruptly. All of this violence makes me think about how it could have been prevented. Would stricter gun laws have helped? Maybe, unless Flanigan obtained the gun illegally or had no past history of violence. As a country we debate the second amendment and gun-control laws constantly. Honestly, the thought has crossed my mind while sitting in a board of commissioners meeting that there are a lot of people there and they could be angry enough about something

to shoot up the place. It has happened before and I’m sure it’ll happen again. Another side of the debate is that people should be able to carry concealed weapons however they please as long as they follow the law and get a mental-health evaluation. I don’t think that’s enough. Until we no longer have weapons in the hands of sick, disturbed and twisted people, then I don’t think we will ever solve this issue. We need to create some way to tackle mental illness because a lot of these senseless killings are

perpetrated by criminals who do not fit neatly into stereotypical images of bad guys. Guns aren’t the problem. If I was in a movie theater or my mom’s elementary school library and someone started to shoot, I would be glad if another person there was packing. But I just don’t think we can trust our general population enough to give them that power. How many people have to die before we realize we have a huge problem? Until then, I hope Alison and Adam rest in peace.

NOTICE OF PUBLIC INFORMATION OPEN HOUSE Forsyth County To Hold A Public Information Open House for Project CSHPP-0007-00(526) Forsyth County P.I. No. 0007526 On September 10, 2015, at the Lanier Technical College Forsyth Conference Center, 3410 Ronald Reagan Boulevard, Cumming, Georgia 30041, Forsyth County and the Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) will hold a Public Information Open House concerning Project CSHPP-0007-00(526) in Forsyth County. The proposed project would consist of constructing a full-diamond interchange on State Route (SR) 400 at McGinnis Ferry Road. The project would add a northbound and southbound auxiliary lane on SR 400 between Windward Parkway ramps and the McGinnis Ferry Road ramps and between the McGinnis Ferry Road ramps and the McFarland Parkway ramps. SR 400 southbound would be widened one additional lane from 1,900 feet south of the southbound McFarland Parkway exit ramp to 3,500 feet north of the southbound McFarland Parkway exit ramp. The project would replace the existing bridge over SR 400 and widen McGinnis Ferry Road from Bethany Bend through the intersection of Union Hill Road onto Ronald Reagan Boulevard to Counselors Way. All through lanes would be 11-foot wide and turn lanes would be 12-foot wide. McGinnis Ferry Road would be widened to four lanes with a 14-foot flush median from Bethany Bend to Deerfield Point Drive; four lanes with a 20-foot raised median from Deerfield Point Drive through the SR 400 interchange; and, six lanes with a 20-foot raised median from SR 400 through the intersection of Union Hill Road onto Ronald Reagan Boulevard to Counselors Way. The typical section would include curb and gutter and five-foot sidewalks on the south side and a multi-use path on the north side along the entire length of McGinnis Ferry Road. Additional right-turn lanes and left-turn lanes would be provided along McGinnis Ferry Road at the major intersections of the project. The proposed bridge would be designed to span future managed lanes on SR 400. The overall project length is estimated at 4.98 miles which includes the project length along SR 400 which is 3.28 miles and McGinnis Ferry Road and other minor side road improvements total 1.7 miles in length. The 2008 update to the Forsyth County Bicycle Transportation & Pedestrian Walkways 2025 Plan includes a 10-foot wide multi-use path, which will be incorporated into the project. The existing right-of-way width of McGinnis Ferry Road is 80 feet and the proposed right-of-way varies from 120 to 150 feet. The existing right-of-way on SR 400 is approximately 200 feet. No additional right-of-way on SR 400 is anticipated. The Open House will be conducted between the hours of 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM. The Open House will be informal and the public is invited to attend anytime during these hours. There will be no formal presentation. A court reporter will be available to allow the public an opportunity to make verbal comments about the project.
