Three incumbents to run again Council elections to be held Nov. 3 By JONATHAN COPSEY jonathan@appenmediagroup.com

The Friends of the Milton Library barn will host book sales to raise money for library programming.

Library ‘Friends’ to open bookstore Old barn will raise funds for library By JONATHAN COPSEY jonathan@appenmediagroup.com MILTON, Ga. – A library is nothing without the community and Milton’s new library, on Mayfield Road, is no different. The Friends of the Milton Library is a community group dedicated to heling the library. They will have the grand opening of their historic barn, on the property of the Milton Library, Sept. 12. Old farming equipment is hanging on the walls, on display from the log cabin of Old Milton High School. It certainly has a “rural” feel to it. The barn is just over 1,000

square feet and packed with books, sometimes floor-toceiling. It is created from pieces of the two old barns that once stood on the site of the library. Inside, air conditioning keeps the books safe from the elements. Milton Councilmember Matt Kunz, who is also president of the Friends, said there were two early discussions the Friends had when the library was proposed. “We’ve got these barns [on the site], and we want to preserve these books,” said Kunz. “So we decided to combine the two ideas and use the barn as

Several other neighbors reported seeing what they believed to be a white male fleeing the scene in an SUV shortly after hearing shots fired. According to the investigation, Jennifer rented an SUV earlier in the day and dramatically cut off all her hair and then dyed it. A few hours later, she drove to the victim’s home and ambushed him in the garage as he was cleaning up and preparing to move to another home with his new wife. Evidence revealed that, had the new wife

been at the home, Jennifer intended to shoot her as well. After fleeing the scene, she drove to her Roswell home, where she confessed to her children that she had just shot their father. She also confessed to her sister, who then called police. Officers from the Roswell Police Department rushed to the defendant’s home and ordered her outside. She confessed to police as well before being arrested. Jennifer Pugh entered a guilty plea to charges of murder, felony murder, criminal attempt to commit murder, aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony.

Roswell moves to ban e-cigs By JONATHAN COPSEY jonathan@appenmediagroup.com ROSWELL, Ga. – If you like smoking e-cigarettes in Roswell’s parks, move along. The City Council approved a measure to ban smoking electronic smoking devices in its parks. “It’s a perception issue,” said Parks Director Morgan Rodgers. “We want the parks to appear healthy.” Rodgers said the city has received complaints from residents about people smoking the e-cigarettes in parks. From a distance it is difficult to distinguish such smoking from tobacco smoking. While the “smoke” from an e-cig is mostly

water vapor, the device itself contains nicotine, the addictive element in tobacco. There are numerous health and regulatory questions surrounding the devices and their use. “Our stance is it is all about perception and enforceability,” Rodgers said. “Throughout the country, other counties and municipalities are doing same thing.” If a smoker is caught in the parks, Rodgers said they will not be asked to leave; only to put out the device. “It’s not our plan to write tickets or arrest someone,” he said. “We are trying to make the parks as healthy as we

We are trying to make the parks as healthy as we can.” MORGAN RODGERS Roswell Parks and Recreation Director can.” The first reading of the ordinance banning e-cigarettes from parks passed 4-1 in council, with only Councilmember Becky Wynn opposing. She said it was because simply having a perception of smoking was not a good

enough reason to ban the use of e-cigarettes. “I don’t see the studies that are showing the vapor, even though it might have nicotine, is harmful to anyone around it,” she said. She noted the e-cigarettes can be a way to quit smoking in a way that does not harm those around the smoker. A ban would only harm those trying to quit, she said. “An e-cigarette is a positive thing showing that people are trying to quit smoking or being more considerate of those around them,” she said. “I don’t see why we should be disallowing this one tool because it looks like a cigarette.”

Roswell woman pleads guilty to stalking ‘Walking Dead’ star, wife Used social media to threaten, harass victims ATLANTA- A 25-year-old Roswell resident, Kathryn Boykin, pleaded guilty Aug. 31 to stalking and harassing “Walking Dead” actor Daniel Thomas May and his wife, Rachel. The charge against Boykin stems from a Dec. 21, 2013, incident that occurred at the victims’ Synchronicity

Theater on Peachtree Street in Atlanta. Boykin appeared outside the theater holding a sign that read “Shut down Synchronicity” and other disparaging remarks about Mrs. May. Boykin was in violation of a BOYKIN permanent protective order that had been issued five months earlier requiring her to stay away from the couple. Boykin’s fascination with May began in December 2006 after at-

tending one of his performances. She began to harass the victim and his wife mostly via the Internet and social media off and on through December 2013. She created several social-media accounts which she used to either falsely accuse Mr. May of a variety of crimes or spread lies about the couple. Boykin also posted harassing statements on the couple’s business website and on other third-party websites. Boykin also sent electronic messages to the couple. The victims responded one time, asking the woman to stop. When she failed to cease communication with the victims,

the couple contacted police and eventually obtained protective orders against the defendant. Boykin was arrested the day after the incident at the couple’s theater. Following her guilty plea, Boykin was sentenced to 10 years felony probation. According to the terms of her plea agreement, Boykin is permanently restrained from any contact with the Mays or their children. In addition, she is prohibited from using the Internet during the term of her sentence and must maintain her mental-health medication and treatment.

Sheriff’s Office pulls out of CALEA accreditation Accreditation withdrawal prompts questions from former sheriff Paxton By KATHLEEN STURGEON kathleen@appenmediagroup.com FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. — The Forsyth County Sheriff’s Office has been accredited for professional practices by the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies (CALEA) for more than 12 years. But that has come to a close now. Forsyth County Sheriff

Duane K. Piper announced in an Aug. 17 press release the Sheriff’s Office is withdrawing from the national program effective Sept. 1. CALEA is the national accreditation program for law enforcement agencies. CALEA certification is recognition of compliance to a rigorous set of standards in all phases of department training, recordkeeping and safety.

PIPER

PAXTON

“CALEA has served its initial purpose. However I feel the redundancy and cost of the national program along with requirements that conflict with Georgia state law have made it necessary for me to withdraw

from their program.” It was that last remark the sheriff made about CALEA requirements breaking state law that had other Georgia law enforcement officials scratching their heads. CALEA-certified agencies said they don’t know of any such requirements that would violate state law. Piper said he believes CALEA’s required standard on deadly force would be a direct conflict with state laws. Paxton disagreed, saying CALEA uses the same standard and directly mirrors Georgia law word for word.

CALEA Executive Director Craig Hartley also said none of the standards conflict with any state laws. “The use of deadly force is no different for a law enforcement officer as opposed to an ordinary citizen,” Paxton said. “Law doesn’t distinguish between the two. Law enforcement has no greater latitude.” In several phone calls to Piper, The Forsyth Herald asked him to explain just what sections of the Georgia Code might be violated by CALEA. Piper returned one call but did not leave a voicemail to explain.

CLUSTER HOUSING IN MILTON

RESIDENTS OF MILTON IT IS TIME TO TAKE ACTION! On August 26th, for the SECOND time, the Milton Planning Commission unanimously rejected, 7 - 0, the proposed zoning change misleadingly called the Conservation Subdivision Ordinance (CSO). Simply put, this is a zoning change that would allow developers to build houses in the City of Milton on Âź acre lots. Think about that! The CSO is NOT density neutral. More homes could be built on a tract of land with the CSO than our current AG-1 zoning. The CSO will bring private sewer to Milton, which not only goes against the very founding principles of the City to NOT have sewer and only have individual septic systems, but it puts the responsibility on the Milton taxpayers to clean up the mess when they fail. Despite the resounding and unanimous rejection by the Planning Committee and the many citizens who have written letters and spoken out against this change, which will ruin the beauty and rural character of Milton, the City Council, on September 21st, could still vote in favor of the ordinance.

We need to stop this before Miltonâ€™s beauty and unique character are irreparably destroyed.

WHAT CAN YOU DO? Milton residents need to vocally oppose this zoning change and attend the City Council meeting at 6pm on September 21 to stand in solidarity and speak out against this outrageous ordinance.

Not enough millennial What did you do before the Internet? housing options JONATHAN As a young professional, I know a lot of things won’t come easy to me. I have to earn respect and prove I’m capable of doing my job, all while trying to live in an area you probably wouldn’t call “cheap.” I’ve lived in Alpharetta most of my life and have benefitted from that tremendously. I went to some of the best schools in the state that prepared me for college and gave me real-world experience all before graduating. But now that I’m an “adult” I realize my parents and a lot of other folks around here have had to work incredibly hard to get where they are today. Since graduating from college, I have been contemplating where I will live next. I spoke with friends and family and learned it’s a pretty common thought that living in an apartment is essentially throwing away money that could be invested into a house. I’ve also heard from multiple sources that it’s next to impossible to resell a condo or townhouse, so that option is also out the door. Those tips are all good and well, except they basically only leave the option of buying a house. And, if you’ve ever purchased a home in this area, you know it’s expensive. It’s even more intimidating to a young person who just started working and doesn’t have too much saved up. I try to save as much as I can and I’m lucky to be able to do so. And, while it feels like I can never save enough, I really would like to invest my admittedly small nest egg into a living space to call my own. A lot of local leaders talk about how they want millennials to move into the area and how they’re trying to accom-

KATHLEEN STURGEON Forsyth Herald Reporter kathleen@appen mediagroup.com

modate them. Well, step one would be offering more affordable housing for these young people to invest in. I’m not talking about dingy, somewhat sketchy apartments. I mean single-family homes these millennials can grow into and use as great investments. It’s hard to want to live in Alpharetta, or the surrounding areas, when there are few — if any —housing options I can afford. I’ve downloaded multiple apps and looked online for hours for a small bungalow to call my own, but so far I’ve been unsuccessful. However, when I expand my search to other Atlanta suburbs, I can easily find multiple options all in my price range and in good neighborhoods. The problem is I can’t justify moving farther away from my job. There is a reason a lot of people my age, including a good majority of my friends, are moving to cities like Dunwoody, Decatur or Vinings. Personally, I would prefer to be OTP because I’m not a fan of living in the city. But regardless, these people are onto something. If officials are really and truly yearning for millennials to move into their towns, there needs to be better and more affordable housing options. Until that happens, I can’t say that I’ll spend my hard-earned tax dollars in their cities.

Let me take a moment to speak to our younger readers – ask your parents, or older siblings, or even grandparents what life was like before the Internet. You will be amazed. The topic came up recently after a convicted stalker, who used social media and the Internet to stalk her subjects, was banned for 10 years from using the Internet. Ten years is a long time, certainly, but you should have seen the eyes widen on our younger staffers’ faces when they contemplated 10 years without Internet. It was unthinkable. Unimaginable. Surely, this is a punishment worse than death! How did you get your news? What did you do to occupy your time? How did you

keep in contact with others? How would you keep up with all the cat pictures that are to be seen? And the more we thought about it, the more it was apparent just how integrated the Internet is in our daily lives, in ways we don’t even think about anymore. Every time you send an email, check your mail, check Facebook or send a tweet, the Internet is

there. Every time you look up directions or use GPS, there’s the Internet. Even my car has Internet now! That’s how far we have come. This is certainly not a rub against the interconnectedness of things in our lives. I’m a big fan (and often user) of these things. Rather, perhaps it’s a good idea to take a step back every now and then and put down the phone or step away from the computer. Resist that urge to push the glowing power button. Pick up a book. No, not an e-book. A real one. Take a walk without your phone or iPod. Enjoy the sounds and views of nature once in a while. Or talk with your partner or family. You might enjoy it.

LETTER TO EDITOR »

Resident opposes conservation subdivisions in Milton Milton is considering introducing conservation subdivisions into our rural areas. Despite being rejected by the Planning Commission on two occasions, City Council will vote Sept. 21 on a conservation subdivision ordinance. City Council may ignore the Planning Commission recommendation and vote to enact a conservation subdivision ordinance. In a conservation subdivision, houses are clustered together on small lots, as small as ¼ acre. Land protected by state and federal law from being disturbed – such as wetlands, floodplains and stream buffers – is owned by the homeowners association or another entity. If additional land is required to meet conservation goals, other land such as fields and forest can be owned by the homeowners association and developed for a variety of uses including recreational, agricultural, stormwater management, utility easements and wastewater treatment. Conservation subdivisions may provide some environmental benefit, but too often the land that is set aside is too small and too disjointed to provide meaningful environmental benefit. Urban planners disagree on the ability of conservation subdivisions to preserve rural character and farmland. Urban planners’ opinions about strategies for conservation do not always agree with the desire of citizens to preserve their rural landscape. Planners and citizens often have different opinions about what

makes a community feel rural and what features should be preserved. For these and other technical reasons the Planning Commission unanimously rejected conservation subdivision ordinance proposals on June 24 and again on Aug. 26. It is important to consider whether conservation subdivision development can be compatible with Milton’s existing rural landscape. The visual quality of a subdivision is key to whether or not it is compatible with a rural landscape. A new small lot subdivision that might look perfectly acceptable in an urban community may look woefully out of place next to Milton’s horse farms and forestland. Rural citizens almost always perceive the high-density elements of a conservation subdivision as non-compatible with traditional low-density rural areas. Fields, open spaces and woodland are important characteristics of a rural environment. However, our tree-lined roads may be our most important rural assets. If open space or woodland is preserved at the entrance of a subdivision, so that the public view remains rural rather than cluttered with homes, the subdivision is more compatible with the rural landscape. Milton has adopted an ordinance that requires a 40-foot undisturbed buffer and a 20-foot no improvement setback to protect rural viewsheds. The proposed conservation subdivisions ordinance does not require

rural viewshed protection. When green space is located behind homes and is not visible from the public street, rural character is not preserved. To preserve rural character, landscape buffers must protect Milton’s residents from the impact of negative landscape change whether driving along our roads or enjoying the views from our own yards. Conservation subdivisions do not require the mandatory landscape buffers necessary to protect our existing rural views. The proposed conservation subdivision ordinance is not density neutral. It introduces private sewer in the form of community wastewater systems and environmental and financial liability when these systems fail. It does not preserve the public rural viewsheds and does not provide adequate buffers to protect the rural character of Milton. But it does allow the development of homes located 20 feet apart and set 20 feet from the public road on ¼ acre lots without requiring mandatory landscaped buffers. That is not a rural scene. Conservation subdivisions are not right for Milton. Not now, not ever. Please read the proposed ordinance and attend and speak at the council meeting or send a letter/email to the members of the City Council and let them know of your concerns. We do not want this ordinance to be approved and cause ruin to the beauty and rural character of Milton. Cleveland Slater, Milton, Ga.

PAL mentorship program to help kids PALS 4 Life seeks to be in all Fulton schools By JONATHAN COPSEY jonathan@appenmediagroup.com NORTH FULTON, Ga. – It’s no secret that not all students fit into neat little boxes. Teachers and educators have a reputation for being flexible so kids can learn. Veronica Carew wants to help. Carew is the executive director of the Alpha Police Athletic/Activities League. She and the group offer a school-based mentoring program called PALS 4 Life. This program exposes children ages 8-11 to positive role models, with the sole purpose of encouraging the youths to stay in school and strive for excellence in their studies. It teaches leadership skills as well as responsible actions. “We developed a leadership program to work with children with their future challenges,” Carew said. “We work through skits and different ideas to

teach the children to remain authentic to themselves, always look to the future and help their communication.” For instance, if a student is having trouble with a teacher, Carew said, they are taught to ask themselves how the situation can be handled other than by blowing up and getting kicked out of school. There are always alternatives, she said. Principals contact Carew and PAL to bring the program into their schools. So far, Carew said the program is in 25 schools throughout the county. And the program seems to work, she said. “Teachers have said the child-misbehavior issues have gone down and grades have gone up,” she said. “Children are coming to teachers and not feeling so guarded.” The program isn’t just for struggling kids or those with discipline issues. Those students in advanced classes may be getting good grades but have issues with public speaking. The PALS 4 Life program helps with that, as well. “The program helps build character,” she said. “It’s not about being smart or bad. It’s about being kids.”

Alpharetta wrestler aims for world championship Veteran athlete gets into peak condition By JONATHAN COPSEY jonathan@appenmediagroup.com ALPHARETTA, Ga. – When many men reach their mid50s, they have long ago moved from active workouts to occasional bouts with weights. Not Daniel Studenic, 54, of Alpharetta. He is the most fit he has ever been and will soon compete in the world championships of wrestling in Athens, Greece. Studenic said he has been wrestling all his life. “It’s always been my sport of choice,” said the West Virginia native. He started in second grade after his brother, who was 10 years older, also began wrestling. His brother ended up being the runner-up in the West Virginia state championships while Studenic did the same for the peewee division. The next year, his brother became the state champion. Ten years later, Studenic joined his brother in the record books by repeating his performance. They became the only brothers to win the same award in the state. “It’s a family thing,”

Studenic said. While that was all a long time ago, Studenic never lost the wrestling bug. Now a carpenter in Alpharetta, he coached peewee wrestling for the Milton feeder program. Then he heard about the United World Wrestling Veteran World Championships, held each year in Greece. “There was an opening for my age group and weight group,” Studenic said. Each year, the U.S. wrestling team solicits volunteers to take part. This year, they had an opening that Studenic was primed to fill. He still wrestles, often against the wrestling team at Kennesaw State. He has won several medals fighting against men half his age. “I love the spirit of competition,” he said. “It comes so naturally to me. Some people are good at running. In our family, we are natural wrestlers.” Age does make it more difficult to compete, he said. “Younger kids can do it and bounce back the next day. But I’m a walking bag of dents and dings. I’m sore everywhere every day.” Studenic will be competing

with the best wrestlers in the world for his age group, men who have been wrestling at a world level their entire careers. “I’m in very good wrestling shape and I can still beat college kids,” he said. “But it’s not going to be a cakewalk.” To train, he has taken part in the Lifetime Fitness Transformation Challenge, a 90-day fitness routine. He credits this with moving from the “weekend warrior” physique to professional. “That 90 days of intense weight loss and muscle building taught me how to keep it off; and I did, so when the offer to wrestle on the U.S. wrestling team came, I was ready to go,” he said. As a carpenter, the winter months tend to be slow, so Studenic typically saves up a nest egg to get him through the season. He decided to use much of that money to help fund his trip to the competition. “I’m going to take a chance and do it,” he said. “You gotta live life.” The UWW Veteran World Championships competition will be Oct. 13-18 in Athens, Greece. For more on Studenic and his efforts, visit his GoFundMe page at www.gofundme.com/GoDan.

Alpharetta wrestler Dan Studenic hopes to face off against the best wrestlers in the world in October.

With his first term in office drawing to a close Gilvin says he looks forward to the opportunity of continuing the progress Alpharetta has made over the last four years. “When I decided to run for council, Alpharetta’s unemployment rate was 7.5 percent. Our office vacancy rate was nearly 20 percent and home values had dropped by 20 percent,” Gilvin said. “Now our unemployment rate hovers near historic lows at 4.8 percent. Office vacancy rates have been cut in half and our residential property values have more than rebounded. “I promised to pursue fiscally responsible growth initiatives while rejecting tax increases and that is exactly what I have done.,” said Gilvin. “And while I vigorously pursued growth

cated to making the best work they can, and to encourage sharing it with others, in whatever form that takes. The members are all in different stages of development, but share a passion for what they do – paint. The BrushWork Society’s founding members and artists include Mary Ferguson, Denise Jennings, Leslie Line, Deirdra Alexander, Lynne Brice, Dede Collicott, Elizabeth Lines, Blair Mann, Lila McAlpin, Celeste McCollough, Eve Murphy, Leslie Spencer and Kathy Wochele.

STOP“GUESSING” AT WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING This is what just a few Ambit 3D Hearing Aid Center customers have to say after experiencing our centers: “I’m mad at myself for waiting so long and I should know better. I’m a doctor! They made is so easy and saved me thousands of dollars from the first place I went.” -Dr. William Bennett, Cumming, G

“The best hearing aids I have ever owned, I don’t care how money you spend!” -L. Zoller, Lake Lanier, GA

“Most of my friends have hearing aids, but most had bad things to say about their hearing aids, which delayed me even more getting help. Went into Ambit, within an hour I was hearing great. Told all my friends hearing aids work, they just went to the wrong place. And the best part is I paid thousands less than what my friends paid.” -Margarette Wiley, R.N. Cumming, GA

“Words can’t say enough how Ambit has helped me. I’ve struggled with severe hearing loss for many years, which requires very special hearing aids. Ambit has delivered and even more! I have never had such fantastic service!! Thank you Ambit!!” -H. Ashbury, Jefferson, GA

“I was attracted to Ambit by the price, but when I found out they were a direct manufacturer who made the top digital hearing aids with full services center, I couldn’t believe it. I’ve never heard so well. Thanks for saving me thousands of dollars.” -J. Simpson, Gainesville, GA

“You saved my marriage. My wife was fed up with the loud television and me saying “huh?” all the time.” -P.Lucas, Gainesvilla, GA

“Being a consultant I actually went to many different places and tried many different hearing aids and hands down Ambit was the best. It didn’t bother me that I saved thousands of dollars either.” -J. Sasso, Cumming, GA

Why Spend 2X-3X More For Less? “I am a minister and my hearing loss was really creating a problem, especially after service when everyone congregated outside the church talking all at once. I couldn’t hear a one of them. I went to Ambit thinking no one could help my problem. I couldn’t believe it, I started hearing better immediately and the following Sunday after service I could hear everyone, even in the extremely noisy area. Hallelujah!!!! Now I look forward to talking to people. The best part is I did all this without breaking the bank.” -Rev. T. Plank, Jefferson, GA

Like T4, T3 circulates in the blood mainly bound to proteins, but 1% is not bound. It is that 1% that is believed to be most potent in its effects at the cellular level, even in comparison to T4. In fact, your body converts T4 into T3 in your liver. How well it does this in all individuals is a matter of how well your digestive system is working. No matter what, T3 is another important blood test to consider. The Free T3 and Reverse T3 tests can also provide valuable information. Free T3 appears to correlate best with your functioning. Reverse T3 is a controversial test that is not often done by medical doctors, because it is assumed that your body can convert T4 into T3 without problems. However, holistic practitioners, and some medical doctors, are now recognizing it as an important test. Reverse T3 is a product created when your body converts T4. It should convert it into T3, but instead it converts it into Reverse T3. This Reverse T3 is useless to your body’s cells,

Thyroid Antibodies – It is quite common for someone with hypothyroidism to have thyroid antibodies, created when the body attacks its own tissues. This is the only way to properly diagnose Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis. The reason most doctors do not request this test is because even if it comes back positive, there treatment will be the same as for a standard hypothyroid case. This is why so many people complain of the there symptoms even though they’re on the medication. Thyroxin will not address the inflammation causing the autoimmune attack on your thyroid. It only makes your TSH values look normal…. In summery, I hope this article answers some of your questions regarding the confusion about how hypothyroidism is commonly misdiagnosed. My goal is to bring to light some of the amazing lab tests out there for patients to request from their doctors and get real answers. There are some natural ways to support your thyroid, and ensure it functions optimally. By gaining an understanding of these different lab tests and there proper values, I believe the majority of people with a thyroid

disorder will be able to get a true diagnosis and see significant improvements in their symptoms. That being said, there are those who will need additional tweaks, deeper testing, and personalized changes to their diet, supplements, and lifestyle plan before they see

the improvements they’re looking for. So you may want to find a doctor that practices functional medicine. A functional medical doctor can assist you with natural ways of treating the root cause of illness, rather than just treating the

symptoms with medication. And this is what we do, so if you or someone you know may have a thyroid disorder and want to correct this condition, please call (770) 731-9410 or visit www.DrSavedoff.com and schedule an appointment with us today.

ADHD – not just in children anymore morbidities such as anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder and other personality disorders. Adult ADHD is a valid psychiatric disorder of adulthood distinct from these other conditions. Adult attention deficit disorder differs from the childhood variant because the hyperactivity in adults may be replaced by other symptoms such as anxiety, impulsivity and inattentiveness. In fact, prior to 2002 there were no diagnostic guidelines, but there have been great advances since. Some of the symptoms that characterize Adult ADHD are:

ADHD is a relatively common psychiatric disorder among adults. The prevalence is thought to be 3.5%5.3%, which accounts for more than 11 million cases in the United States alone. With increased public awareness, adult ADHD became a topic of great interest so clinicians should be able to diagnose, treat, and manage patients with this disorder. Etiology is still uncertain. Genetics however is believed to play a prominent role, followed in importance by acquired injuries to the brain. ADHD was widely thought to be strictly a disorder of childhood. Now there are numerous scientific papers and clinical trials that acknowledge the existence of an adult version of this disorder, which can be traced back to the younger years. Before this time ADHD in adults was known as Minimal Brain Damage or Dysfunction (MBD). Adult ADHD is associated with multiple co-

Often does not follow through on instructions and fails to finish schoolwork, chores or duties in the workplace (not due to oppositional behavior or failure to understand directions) 5. Often has difficulty organizing tasks and activities. 6. Often avoids, dislikes, or is reluctant to engage in tasks that require sustained mental effort (such as schoolwork or homework)Often loses things necessary for tasks and activities (eg. School assignments, pencils, keys) 7. Is often easily distracted by extraneous stimuli. 8. Is often forgetful in daily activities. Some children with ADHD continue to have it as adults.

Daily tasks such as getting up in the morning, preparing to leave the house for work, arriving at work on time, and being productive on the job can be especially challenging for adults with ADHD. These adults may have a history of failure at school, problems at work, failed relationships and traffic accidents. Like teens, adults with ADHD may seem restless and may try to complete several tasks as once, most of them unsuccessfully. They also tend to prefer “quick fixes,” rather than taking the steps needed to achieve greater rewards. On the other hand, it is important to know that ADHD can occur in high frequency with other comorbidities such as anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder and other personality disorders. There is high frequency of misdiagnosis and diagnosis is usually subjective and based on behavior and clinical history. Treatment is very rewarding, there are multiple classes of medication and alternative treatment available for those who don’t respond to conventional therapy. Cognitive behavior therapy and coping strategies remain the long term treatment of choice for ADHD If you or someone you know may have Adult ADHD, call Johns Creek Family Medicine at 770-771-6591 and schedule an appointment with Dr. Zack Charkawi.

Unlike at the library next door, the books in the Friends’ collection are for sale. The funds raised from the sale of the books will go toward library programming that would otherwise be unfunded, such as bringing special speakers to the library. “We can help with anything they need that the county can’t provide the funds to do so,” Kunz said.

Most books are less than $3 each. The Friends raised about $100,000 to build and restore the barn. This was done through private donations and is an ongoing process. A “giving tree” is located in the foyer of the library bearing leaves with the names of donors. “There is a lot of interest in what is going on here,” said Bill Lusk, another Milton Councilmember who helped build the barn. “A lot of people want to get involved [with the library].

On Sept.10, volunteers are asked to meet Savannah Bailey on the front lawn of Milton High School at 3:30 p.m. Those who cannot come right at 3:30 p.m. should plan to attend and help place flags when they can as this process will take many hours and volunteers.

those who lost their lives on that tragic day of Sept. 11, 2001,” Bailey said. “While my classmates and I were only 3 years old at the time of this terrible tragedy, we all have a responsibility to ensure none of us ever forget. By remembering and honoring lives lost of both victims and first responders, we strengthen what binds us together as a community and as a nation.” Many volunteers from MHS clubs and organizations will be on hand to help prepare for the placement of the flags the day prior to the memorial ceremony. Milton’s firemen and policemen also will be assisting with the memorial. “The City of Milton Fire and Police men and women are always there to help me and my family with this very important memorial,” Bailey said. “Their caring involvement makes the remembrance process that

much more meaningful.” Bailey and volunteers will again alphabetize the 2,996 names of the victims prior to placing the names on flags in an effort to help those who want to locate a particular name. “I realized that, without names in alphabetical order, it was very difficult for a family member to locate the name of their loved one. It was important to me to help families more readily locate the name of their family member.” Following the creation of the visual memorial, a meaningful student-led ceremony is scheduled for Friday, Sept.11, 2015. at 8 a.m. on the school’s front lawn. The Milton High School choir will participate, as will other musicians. This is a time to reflect, remember and honor all who lost their lives, Bailey said. —Jonathan Copsey

Cambridge to honor 9/11 victims MILTON, Ga. -- Students, teachers, boy scouts, cross country runners, cheerleaders, police officers, fire fighters and community members will all be working together to place 2,996 American flags displayed in Cambridge High School’s 9-11 Never Forget Memorial. Cambridge freshman Elizabeth Willis, organizer of this year’s memorial, leads the solemn remembrance. Willis was only a baby on Sept. 11, 2001. She was not old enough to remember the horror of the terrorist attack, the 24-hour news coverage, or the way a nation pulled together in one of its darkest times. What she does remember is the impact that the 9-11 Memorial has had on her and countless others who have come out to Cambridge year after year to honor all the lives lost. As a member of the last

generation alive when the World Trade Center towers fell, Willis said she is passionate about this remembrance. “The flags we set out are not just symbols of our national pride. Each flag represents someone’s son, daughter, husband, wife, friend or child. They went to school and to work. They held hands, laughed, cried and changed the lives of those they left behind,” she said. “They deserve to be remembered.” Members of the community are invited to come see the flag display during the morning or evening of Sept. 11. Individuals may pay tribute to the lives lost in the attacks and sign the Memory Book with memories they have of 9-11. Those interested in volunteering to set up the display may come to Cambridge High School at 4 p.m. on Sept. 10. —Jonathan Copsey

Cambridge softball undefeated and dominating Defense has not given up a single run By JOE PARKER news@appenmediagroup.com MILTON, Ga.- Cambridge softball has started the season in dominate fashion with a record of 8-0 while outscoring their opponents 64-0. The Bears currently lead region 7-AAAAA. A key to the Bears’ strong start is in their pitching. Junior Keara Napoli has

started all eight games for the Bears and, according to Head Coach Anna McDaniel, Napoli has been instrumental in the team’s success. “Keara’s pitching has definitely played a big part in our season. She throws hard, accurate and driven and is just a solid player. We do have several pitchers that are we are rotating in our lineup. Not only do they give Keara some rest, but they are also showing great promise,” said

Clearly our pitching has been dominate and our girls are all hitting the ball very well. All of the girls are playing very well this season. They truly play well together as a team.” Now nearing the midseason mark, McDaniel said she believes her team can keep the momentum. “What we are doing is working, so we just want to keep everyone healthy, and continue to stay focused on one game at

a time,” she said. “I think our team is naturally very focused and they are all individually driven to do their best. They truly have fun together and enjoy working as a team, which is a huge advantage. They encourage each other and keep the dugout atmosphere intense but ‘light.’” The Bears have seven regional games remaining, including games against Forsyth Central, Kell and Sprayberry,

which is currently behind Cambridge in the regional standings. The Bears have already defeated all three teams in their first meetings this year. McDaniel said the focus for the rest of the regular season will be taking it “one game at a time.” She also said they will “enjoy every win, but keep playing until the end.” “We hope to be one of the teams playing in [the state championship].”

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.

CENTENNIAL VS. LAMBERT PREVIEW »

Longhorns look for revenge against Knights

VISIT NORTHFULTON.COM FOR UP-TO-DATE CONTENT Games on 9-4 Woodland@ Forsyth Central

SUWANEE, Ga. – The defensive scheme of first-year Centennial Head Coach Lenny Gregory has endured growing pains. So has the offense of Lambert without last year’s standout rusher Trevor O’Brien. In Lambert’s season opener, the Longhorns ran 46 offensive plays for a total of 77 yards in their 17-7 loss to a talented Lanier defense. The Longhorns’ offensive line allowed six sacks, resulting in the Longhorns compiling -1 rushing yards for the game. The Lambert offense will face the new defense of Centennial, which allowed 52 points against Roswell in the Knights’ season opening game. However, the Knights will not face the same offense performance in Lambert as they saw in Roswell, which could help them to further adjust to the new defensive game plan. In 2014, the Knights’ defense was able to hold the Longhorns scoreless in the second half, propelling them to a 28-21 victory. Offensively, Centennial’s Casen Con-

way will return at quarterback, where he went 19-24 for 214 yards with two touchdowns and an interception against the Longhorns last season. Though both Lambert and Centennial struggled in their season openers, they both faced talented teams. Centennial’s new defensive approach will have to work hard in the trenches against a run-heavy Lambert offense. In what should be an entertaining game, Lambert should find its legs and blocking and be able to rack up points against Centennial’s new defensive tactics. Our prediction: Centennial 17 – Lambert 23.

CADNET ADS

Reader Advisory: The National Trade Association we belong to has purchased the following classifieds. Determining the value of their service or product is advised by this publication. In order to avoid misunderstandings, some advertisers do not offer employment but rather supply the readers with manuals, directories and other materials designed to help their clients establish mail order selling and other businesses at home. Under NO circumstance should you send any money in advance or give the client your checking, license identification or credit card numbers. Also beware of ads that claim to guarantee loans regardless of credit and note that if a credit repair company does business only over the phone it’s illegal to request any money before delivering its service. All funds are based in U.S. dollars. 800 numbers may or may not reach Canada.
