High school students can ‘Move on When Ready’ to college New law eases process for earning college credit By CANDY WAYLOCK candy@appenmediagroup.com
The Cambridge Girls JV fastpitch softball team has so far had a stellar season.
Cambridge JV fastpitch so far undefeated in region MILTON, Ga. – With a record of 13-1 overall and going undefeated so far in their regional games, the Cambridge junior varsity fastpitch team has so far had a stellar season. Their most recent win came Sept. 24 over North Atlanta at Cambridge thanks to an eight-run explosion in the third inning leading to a 9-0 victory. The Cambridge Bears JV scored in the first inning after a double hit by Abigail Mclain and scored again in the third on a two-run single by Taylor Allmen, an RBI double by Lauren Thomas, an RBI single by Audrey Smith and Daisy Valeo. Luci Allen and Daisy Valeo went a perfect 2-2 at the plate for the Cambridge Bears JV. North Atlanta couldn’t get anything going as long as Allmen was pitching. They managed just one hit off of Allmen, who allowed no earned runs and struck out eight during her four innings of work. The day before, the Lady Bears JV team bested Alpharetta with an 11-1 win. Seven
Audrey Smith runs in the first three innings allowed the Cambridge Bears JV to put the game away early. Alpharetta couldn’t get anything going so long as Anna Allen was on the hill. Allen held Alpharetta hitless over four innings, allowed no earned runs, and struck out five. For the next week, the team’s games are all in the region tournament. —Jonathan Copsey
GEORGIA - The state of Georgia has made it easier, and less expensive, for high school students to attend classes outside the traditional classroom setting, and earn college and high school credits along the way. Last year Georgia passed a law revising the Move on When Ready program which allows high school students to earn college credit while working on a high school diploma. The new law streamlines the existing dual enrollment options (Move On When Ready, Accel and HOPE Grant) into one program, MOWR, with one funding source. In addition to tuition, MOWR also covers textbooks and any other fees charged by the institution. That change alone saves students hundreds of dollars a year. Chris Matthews, assistant superintendent for student support for Fulton Schools, said choices abound for qualified students whose goals may not include a four-year path in a traditional high school. “There are so many more options for students, and this program pieces together a really varied high school environment,” said Matthews. “As we move to a more customized learning environment, this is
The new law streamlines the existing dual enrollment options (Move On When Ready, Accel and HOPE Grant) into one program, MOWR, with one funding source. all about [recognizing] that every student has unique needs, then coming up with more options.” For some students, it may mean supplementing their high school curriculum with a few college classes taken either at the college or online. For others it may mean enrolling full time in a college and earning enough credits for a technical or associate degree by the time they graduate from high school. Currently, about 70 postsecondary institutions, including technical colleges, private and public universities, participate in MOWR, including Reinhardt College, Piedmont College, Georgia State and the

For the Hero Award, the Roswell rank and file nominate one of their peers. VanAlstine, who has only been on the force since January2014, has already made an impact. VanAlstine had 15 years of law enforcement under his belt before he came to Roswell. He said he is proactive in dealing with drug and DUI incidents. “I come to work and do my job,”

VanAlstine said, playing down his role. “I try to tutor the younger officers and put in a lot of hard work.” The goal of the annual Chaplain Neville Billy Hero Award is not only to honor officers for their acts of discipline, courage and sacrifice to keep us and our families safe, but also to encourage and promote good police behavior and conduct among police officers. “As a community, we need to share our deep concern for the rapid growing anti-law enforcement sentiment around the country. While a few incidents involving police brutality are horrific and need to be addressed, punished and corrected, an incident here and there is not the precedent everywhere as the untold hundreds of thousands of incidents where police officers have saved lives and continue to do so are overwhelming,” said the Rev. Neville Billy, chaplain of the Roswell Police Department.

JOHNS CREEK, Ga. – A 20-year-old woman was briefly tied up after three men held her at gunpoint and robbed her home Sept. 22. The victim told police she was alone in the Parc Sky Circle home about 4 p.m. when she heard the garage door open and a car pull in. This was not unusual for her family and she said she thought nothing of it. Shortly after, a man burst into her room and forced her out at gunpoint. Two other men were in the house as well and the three of them ransacked the home, searching for money and jewelry, the victim said. The men tied the victim up and left the home. The victim was able to untie herself and seek help. The family reported pieces of jewelry and several thousand dollars in cash were taken.

They were contacted by a buyer, “Khalil London,” a few days later who gave them a phone number. He began conversing through text. It was agreed the buyer would pay the cost if the seller would send the board through UPS. An email was received supposedly from payment site PayPal saying the fee was deposited in their account.

Census: Quarter of North Fulton lives in rentals Many renters in single-family homes By JONATHAN COPSEY jonathan@appenmediagroup.com NORTH FULTON, Ga. – Rental homes, especially apartments, have long been seen as a negative when it comes to housing in North Fulton. The cities of Milton, Alpharetta, Roswell and Johns Creek – as well as many residents – often look favorably on single-family housing developments and poorly on apartment complexes. However, according to census figures, as many as a third of all residents in the cities live in rental housing and, in a report commissioned by Alpharetta, many of those are in single-family homes. “A significant portion of your renters don’t live in apartment complexes,” reported Ken Bleakly of the Bleakly Advisory Group. Bleakly created the Alpharetta study, which looked at all housing options within the city and how their uses have changed over time, largely since 2000. While his numbers showed a decline in rental housing overall since 2000, a quarter of the population still lives in rentals. In 2000, 40 percent of the city’s housing inventory was occupied by renters. “Everybody equates renters with [apartment] complexes,” Bleakly said. “But in North Fulton, a lot of renters live in single-family homes and townhomes.” Surrounding cities told a similar story in 2010. Johns Creek has the lowest number of rentals of the North Fulton cities. With a population of 76,728 residents and 26,266 occupied housing units, almost 80 percent were owner-occupied (20,914). The remaining 5,352 are rentals. In Milton, with a population of 32,661, just over a quarter

of the population (26.1 percent) live in rental housing. Out of the 11,659 homes in 2010, 74 percent of them (8,616) reported being owner-occupied, with the rest listed as rented. This equated to 6,747 residents. Roswell was most similar to Alpharetta in its numbers of renters. Out of 36,344 residents, 33.1 percent (11,235 people) reported being in rentals. Roswell has a population of 88,346. All told, North Fulton’s renter population in 2010 was 66,564 out of a total population of 255,286 (26 percent). While these census numbers are from the 2010 census, the housing stock in North Fulton’s cities has grown significantly, primarily in singlefamily homes. However, large apartment developments have shown up recently, notably Avalon in Alpharetta and River Walk in Roswell. Several more are planned in both cities in the coming years. Bleakly said the renters in

Caution urged for cybersecurity Online threats can be costly By JONATHAN COPSEY jonathan@appenmediagroup.com ALPHARETTA, Ga. – Cybercrime happens every day and, chances are, it will happen to everyone at some point. Recent computer breaches with companies such as Target or Home Depot are only the largest and most publically visible attacks on personal information, exposing millions of people to potentially dangerous personal information leaks. FBI task force agent and Alpharetta officer Christopher Breen said such breaches will continue to happen and the best way for consumers and business owners to keep themselves safe is to be aware of their exposure to such breaches. “Awareness is key,” Breen said. Breen spoke to a gathering of Alpharetta business owners Sept. 30 organized by the Alpharetta Business Association. The luncheon was to inform the guests about cybercrime and property crime.
Breen gave examples of common security issues and viruses that can harm, destroy or exploit an individual’s or company’s data.
Social Engineering Not everything is high-tech. Sometimes it’s the simple tricks that fool people. “Always confirm who you are talking with,” Breen said. This can be a phone call from someone in authority – the police, IRS or even “Microsoft Tech Support” – who asks for money or for usernames and passwords. Breen said hackers are using such social engineering ploys more frequently because it is easier than writing viruses or trying to hack passwords. Never give out usernames or passwords to anyone, Breen cautioned.
Rogue insiders Disgruntled employees, friends or family members may pose security problems for employers, Breen said.
Worst Passwords 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10.

Take Edward Snowden, the former CIA analyst who released classified government information. Breen suggested that not all employees need access to everything on a company’s computers. “Not everyone needs to know everything,” he said.
The Internet of Things Wireless technology is in nearly everything – cars, phones, televisions, fridges and the thermostat. Just as it is easy for a user to interact with these devices, it is also easy for someone else to hack into the
systems. A baby monitor can be used to scout out a home; a wireless fridge can note when it is opened, telling someone when you are home. Breen said one incident earlier this year saw two men using a wireless component in a Jeep vehicle to control its acceleration and brakes from a cell phone. In another incident, a passenger on a commercial flight managed to take control of the plane from his seat.
He suggested an awareness of security exploits and points of entry into systems.
Ransomware Ransomware is basically a computer virus that, once on a computer or network, infects it by locking a user out of the computer and demanding money to get an unlock key. It can be spread through

OPINION
Here’s to 1 year of marriage So it has been a full year. One long, boring, tedious, arduous year of matrimony. I kid, I kid. As of Oct. 11 this year I will have my first anniversary in marriage. Despite what so many people so carefully warned me, it really has not been bad. I knew there was a reason we could be together – we are genuine friends first and foremost. I knew pretty much since the start, when we first began to date, that this would work out. They say opposites attract and we could not be much more different – she’s a Southern-born, hotheaded redhead; I’m a Northerner who rarely ever gets upset about anything. We bonded over beer and general geekery. It hardly seems a year since I gathered with our friends and family on the grounds of Roswell’s historic Barrington Hall to see Kellie walk down the aisle and become my wife. It’s since been a whirlwind year, with more changes in my life in the past 12 months than in the prior several years! Who knew marriage could upset such a comfortable life? We traveled to England for our honeymoon, with plenty of wishes to return. Honestly, we had discussions of just not coming home, but who would care for the dog? The new year saw Kellie in a new job and we found a great first house to buy (in Forsyth County. I’m sorry, everyone). We even have a new cat, having taken in a rescue kitten from a neighbor. We named her Jynx. I hope she is nearing the end of her “all teeth and claws” phase of life. My skin can

only take so much scarring! We even have life insurance. That’s how I knew things were serious. There would be no backing out now. Not that I want to. I’m in it for good, and I think she is also. So for the first time I get to say this – Happy anniversary, Kellie. I can only hope we have many more together.
Is Atlanta really the secondbest city for millennials? A recent study by Money magazine, a Time Inc. publication, ranked Atlanta as the second-best city for millennials. According to Money, the five cities on the list “boast high projected job growth and easy living.” But as a millennial living just outside of Atlanta, I can’t help but think: Should Atlanta really make the cut? Sure, Atlanta offers plenty of fun activities, like visiting the Georgia Aquarium and World of Coke or cheering on your favorite team at one of many sports venues. According to the magazine, millennials comprise about 26.2 percent of the city’s population and there are top employers in the city hiring local workers. The nightlife is great, too, but living about 30 miles outside of the city hinders my ability to party and then return home without paying a hefty taxi fee. There are definitely many great aspects about the “big city.” I’m just wondering if the North Fulton/Forsyth area is really capitalizing on the obvious benefits of being so close to Atlanta. So often I hear government officials, coworkers and even my family talk about how the suburbs need to invest in get-

ting millennials to move on in and hunker down. And, honestly, I think they’re going in the right direction. Just over the three-day Labor Day weekend, I attended multiple events. There was the Decatur Book Festival, Dragon*Con, outlet-mall shopping, the Forsyth rodeo and many other local events. I got out and experienced what it’s like to be a millennial living in Atlanta. And it was great. So the answer to my question of whether Atlanta should have made the second-place spot for best cities for millennials is yes, it should. With a rich history, countless hours of fun and entertainment and something going on every weekend, living in and just outside of Atlanta is a pretty cool place to be. Now, if our local suburbs could just copy some of what

For example, investing in public space that could accommodate something like Dragon*Con would be an investment in the future by bringing the party here for millennials. Honestly, there is nowhere else I’d rather live. (Now if only we could work on that affordable local housing!)

Resident finds fault with CSO The currently proposed Conservation Subdivision Ordinance (CSO) ironically will accelerate destruction of Milton’s rural character. The reason is that the CSO would make land with little or no development potential (there is actually quite a lot) suddenly much more attractive to developers. The Milton Herald’s article on Lahkapani finally allowed me to connect the dots on this issue. To his frustration, the owner of Lahkapani’s 200+ acres has been unable to attract developers. According to him, the topography of his land, which makes it so beautiful, also makes the land “garbage” to developers under current zoning laws. Developers cannot construct enough houses on the land to make it worth their while to develop. However, the CSO would allow 254 to 350 homes on the property, according to Milton’s Community Development Coordinator. And therein lies the irony: the CSO will actually accelerate development and urbanization in Milton with all the attendant issues, such as more traffic congestion and pollution—just the opposite of CSO’s stated intent. Adding to the irony, most developers with land valuable under current AG-1 zoning likely will continue business as usual. The CSO involves too much cost and complexity for them; it is much easier to continue to plop homes on clear-cut, one-acre lots. Readers might be surprised that I am actually a strong advocate of property rights. However, honest and competent government is even more important to me. The CSO seems just one more case of City Council dispensing favors to rent-seeking special interests. Unfortunately, the whole debate over the CSO has given council the cover it needs (yet more irony) to accelerate development in Milton. Citizens of Milton, it is time to connect the dots and to oppose the CSO. Tim Becker, Milton

Golfers putt for a cure ROSWELL, Ga. -- On Sunday, Sept. 27, more than 200 community members attended a family fun putt-putt event featuring Anna and Elsa, raffle prizes, kid activities, food and fun. The event raised $31,000 toward Crohn’s disease and Colitis, and in conjunction with the Golf Classic held on Monday, Sept. 28, raised a total of more than $180,000 toward this cause. For more about the Crohn’s and Colitis Foundation of America and its fundraising events, visit www.ccfa.org.
GEORGIA – Partnering with more than 80 affiliates of Habitat for Humanity across the Southeast, including Habitat-North Central Georgia, Publix Super Markets Charities announced Sept. 29 that it will donate $4 million to further the foundation’s commitment to meeting affordable housing needs in communities that Publix Super Markets serves. The donation will provide funding to build 40 new houses in 2016 as well as increase support to Habitat affiliates that the foundation currently funds. Two local affiliates of Habitat, Atlanta Habitat and Habitat-North Central Georgia, are receiving full house sponsorships as part of the donation. “Every family deserves an opportunity to have a roof over their heads and food on their table,” said Carol Jenkins Barnett, president of Publix Super Markets Charities. “My father established our foundation in 1966 with a strong desire to see our communities thrive. Forty-nine years later, we are continuing his legacy. As we honor my father’s memory and celebrate what would have been his 108th birthday, we are delighted to continue our 26-year partnership with Habitat for Humanity.” Russ Hayes, CEO of Habitat-North Central Georgia said, that, through Publix Super Markets Charities’ donations of nearly $500,000 since 2008, ten new Habitat homes have been possible to build. Habitat-North Central Georgia, which is celebrating its 20th anniversary, serves the North Fulton area and Cherokee, Forsyth, and Dawson Counties. Since its inception in 1995, it has built or rehabbed 271 homes for hard-working, wage-earning families who demonstrate the capacity for responsible homeownership. Construction on the home sponsored by Publix Super Markets Charities will start in April of 2016. Today, Sabrina Johnson, who was in queue awaiting her Habitat home, learned that she had been selected as the partner family for the sponsored home. She said she was thrilled to hear the news. “I feel so blessed to have been approved for the Habi-

tat program, and to have Publix Super Markets Charities as the home sponsor is such an honor.” Johnson is a divorced mother of three young children – Brooklyn (9), Ty (5) and Lacey (3). She is a native of Forsyth County and has been employed as a dental assistant for the last three years. —Jonathan Copsey

Security: Continued from Page 6 emails and clicking links that contain the virus. “About $18 million a year is spent in the U.S. on ransomware,” he said. Breen suggested always backing up your computer and business files and keeping antivirus programs up to date. That way, those attacked never have to pay the ransom. “Be skeptical of emails and attachments you don’t know,” he said.
Mobile devices Android mobile phones have 79 percent of the smartphone market share and there are over two million types of malware – over 17 percent of all Android apps – to exploit any and all security issues in the phones. Breen suggests businesses review policies concerning employees using personal devices at work that may contain viruses.
Web attacks Attackers are shifting their strategies from spam to malware and web-based exploits. One prominent issue is
with Adobe Flash, on which much of the Internet’s webpages were based. To protect against these issues, your business and website should contain the most up-to-date security patches and make sure your website and its hosting company are secure.
Cyber theft Many merchants and companies that accept credit cards are exposed to risks, especially if they have not fixed or upgraded their payment system. “The frequency of payment card breaches continues at an alarming rate,” Breen said. Businesses may be at risk of lawsuits if their customers have their data breached. There may also be extensive recovery costs. Any individual or business with questions or concerns about threats to their security can contact the Internet Crime Complaint Center at www.iC3.gov/default.aspx. While the federal government may get involved in small-business crimes, it is unlikely. In those incidents, Breen and his Atlanta task force may be able to help. Breen can be reached at Christopher.breen@ic.fbi.gov.

THE STAIR BARRIER »
Inventor begins successful business New idea catches on with public By JONATHAN COPSEY jonathan@appenmediagroup.com MILTON, Ga. – When Janelle Fitzpatrick came up with an interesting idea, she had no idea it would become her own business. Fitzpatrick is the creator of the Stair Barrier, a fabric baby gate that is designed to stretch and fit into stairways that do not have walls, such as those with a balustrade. It works well with babies as well as pets, she said. Fitzpatrick was an executive recruiter for several years before moving to Milton with her family. In her Milton house with young children, she came upon a problem – her stairs had no place for a baby gate. Most baby gates require walls to latch on to. Fitzpatrick’s only had a bannister and balustrade. “Gates were not going to work,” she said. “I would have to jerry-rig something. There had to be a prettier alternative.” It turned out there was not. So Fitzpatrick set to work making her own. She created a prototype and even took out a patent. “All these years I used prototypes in my house,” she said. “They work well for kids and dogs. My friends were astonished by it. They loved it and wanted to use it.”
However, she did little with her invention until the past year or so, when she began seriously thinking about turning the stair barrier into a business. A legal-minded, organized person, Fitzpatrick resurrected her patent and set about finding manufacturing and selling her products. She settled on a factory in Cornelia, Georgia, which she said was important; not only was it close to home, but she could proudly claim “Made in the USA.” “I grew up in Michigan where you were either Ford or GM,” she said. “I want to touch and feel the manufacturing. Sending the work overseas was never a part of it.” In Cornelia, she can meet the workers, speak with the managers and know exactly what is being made when and by whom. She visits twice a week. “They are like a family to me at this point,” she said. “You feel good about the jobs that are created. They know you and you know them.” She opened her website earlier this year and began selling directly to consumers, gaining her following sale by sale. In July she took it to the next level – she is in retailers such as Orvis, Wayfair, Zulily and Amazon. “I’ve had amazing results,” she said. In July alone, she said the company did more sales than in the prior six months. The
product was also a nominee in the Martha Stewart Made in America competition. And it all started with a good idea and some hard work. Starting a new business with a new product can be daunting. Fitzpatrick said she had to learn everything from intellectual property law to patent law to marketing and negotiating contracts to get her business up and running. “And this doesn’t look anything like my business plan,” she laughed. “You have to be prepared for that.” Flexibility is important, especially when negotiating problems that may arise. The important thing is to persevere. “If you don’t make mistakes, you will never learn,” she said. “You have to take a chance and go out there.” For more about the Stair Barrier, visit www.thestairbarrier.com.
The Stair Barrier was invented by a Milton resident to solve her baby-gate problems. She has since taken the gate from idea to manufacturing to retail sales.

Fusionetics helps athletes, local students By KATHLEEN STURGEON Kathleen@appenmediagroup.com ALPHARETTA, Ga. — Preventing injuries and maximizing an individual’s performance is what Fusionetics is all about. The Alpharetta-based business is run by chairman, founder and CEO Dr. Micheal Clark and COO Ben Tucker. The company provides consulting to sports organizations to assist with the ongoing development of their athletic care and player development systems. While Fusionetics was founded in 2012, Clark and Tucker have been working together for years. Clark has been utilizing this system of assessment and training of the human body from the performance perspective for about 20 years through his research with the University of North Carolina and his clinical expertise and operations he’s been utilizing in professional sports, according to Tucker. “We think everyone who moves from 8 to 88 as an athlete,” Tucker said. “You have to be able to do something physical in your day, any given day. Whether you’re an elitelevel athlete or you just want to be able to play tennis with your friends.” Fusionetics looks at the human body including the movement dysfunctions that are causing either lack of performance or potential injury risk, Tucker said. “Once we identify those, we go through the process of specifically fixing those problems, which dramatically enhances somebody’s ability to do the things they’d like to do pain free and do them with a higher durability and with less risk of injury,” he said. Some of the company’s clients include members of the Atlanta Hawks, Atlanta Braves, Atlanta Falcons, University of Georgia athletes, Chicago Bulls, Phoenix Suns and Texas Rangers. But they also work with local high school students through a partnership with the Atlanta Falcons and Northside Hospital. “Northside Hospital has underwritten an opportunity for basically every high school north of I-285 to have Fusionetics brought to them for free,” Tucker said. “They get free testing, programing, etc. There have been a number of programs participating in the program, including Milton High School and King’s Ridge, and we’ve done that for three years. Our

CLARK
plan is to get out to as many schools and help those programs as much as we can.” Their method of action helps all clients, young and old, to gain confidence and understanding of what their bodies need for recover, optimized movement and performance, Tucker said. “As an athlete, every day you’re performing or training and you’re breaking down in some way, especially when you’re competing,” Tucker said. “You’re doing something that’s a repetitive motion and something that’s very hard on your body. When you do those things, you have consequences associated. So it’s not just rest that somebody needs. They need some specific targeted interventions to be able to regain the way their body needs to move so they don’t go through a process of compensating for poor movement quality which ultimately leads to high risk of injury.” That risk is something Tucker knows well. He was a professional baseball player and a four-year letterman with the University of Southern California. “I knew via the training I was receiving, especially the performance training, that my body was not recovering and not performing in a way it should have,” Tucker said. “I ended up getting hurt and that’s the main reason why I didn’t end up achieving my overall goals. I personally want to make sure every young person and every person who likes to be active has an opportunity to maximize what they do. They only way to do that is to be sure you’re injury free and are able to utilize your body to its capabilities.” Fusionetics has developed software that makes it possible to share their teachings with different groups, such as physical therapies, chiropractic offices and fitness centers to continue to expand their company. They also have plans to open offices in California and Texas. For information on Fusionetics, visit www.fusionetics.com.

Using mapping technology
When you plan your meetings with potential customers, are you organizing your meeting schedule to minimize your drive time? With GPS capabilities now available on most computers, smartphones and tablets, using mapping technology can significantly improve your productivity in the marketplace. There are many mapping technology systems available for you to use, and some of them are free. Simply upload the address information of your prospects or customers, and the mapping software takes over and places “pins” on a map to visually show you all the addresses. Seeing your prospects and clients on a map, especially if you have a large territory, can help you plan your meetings and minimize your drive time between meetings. Some mapping technology will allow you to upload additional data for each of your customers or prospects, such as their industry or revenue, so that you can “filter” the clients and prospects on the visual map. For example, if you want to focus on calling on manufacturing companies with revenues above $50 million, the mapping software will show you all the prospects you have that meet this criteria.
DICK JONES
Founder & President Jones Simply Sales
There are many applications you can use with mapping technology. If you have the data, mapping software can visualize this data for you on a map. If you are not using mapping technology, you are most likely spending a lot more time driving and navigating to your customers and prospects than you need to.

Reduce Your Risk for Breast Cancer By Northside Hospital Breast Care Program Breast cancer is the most common non-skin cancer in females in the United States and the second most common cause of cancer death in women. One in eight women will
develop the disease at some point in her lifetime. Although there are several risk factors you can’t control such as age, family history and race, there are many steps you can take to reduce your risk. Maintain a Healthy Weight. Being overweight or obese,
especially after menopause, has been linked to an increased risk of breast cancer. Exercising is one way that can help you maintain a healthy weight, and growing evidence suggests that regular physical activity may keep cancer at bay. For most healthy adults,
Northside Hospital is the Preferred Healthcare Partner of the Atlanta Falcons.
And their fans.
northside.com
the Department of Health and Human Services recommends at least 150 minutes a week of moderate aerobic activity or 75 minutes of vigorous aerobic activity weekly, plus strength training at least twice a week. Limit alcohol. Habitual alcohol consumption has long been linked to a greater risk of developing breast cancer, particularly for younger women who have yet to have their first child. Research from Harvard Medical School shows the more alcohol a woman drinks between her first menstrual cycle and her first full-term pregnancy, the higher her risk of developing the disease. If you choose to drink alcohol, limit yourself to no more than one drink a day. Don’t smoke. Developing breast cancer is just one of the many negative health effects of smoking. Accumulating evidence suggests that there is an even higher risk for premenopausal women. If you don’t smoke, don’t start. If you do smoke, use every resource you can find to help you quit. Secondhand smoke also may pose a threat to nonsmokers. Reduce your exposure as much as possible; choose smoke-free restaurants and avoid indoor public places that allow smoking. If you work in a smoke-filled work environment, ask your employer permission to increase ventilation where smoking takes place by opening windows or using exhaust fans. Limit the use of hormone therapy. Taking combination hormone therapy for more than three years may increase your risk of developing breast cancer. Women taking hormone therapy for menopausal symptoms should ask their doctor if it’s possible to manage symptoms without the
use of hormones. If hormone therapy is necessary, patients should use the lowest dose possible. Breastfeed. Among the many benefits that breastfeeding pose for you and your baby, studies that show breastfeeding may reduce your chances of getting breast cancer. The longer you breastfeed, the greater the protective benefits have been shown. Get Screened. Lastly, perhaps the greatest preventative measure you can take against breast cancer is committing yourself to regular mammograms and screenings. If you don’t already, perform monthly breast self-exams. Although they should not replace screening mammograms, breast self-exams allow you to become familiar with the normal feel and appearance of your breasts so that you are able to notice changes easier. Beginning at age 40, schedule annual mammograms. It is important, however, to discuss your individual risk factors with your doctor, including any family history of breast cancer, as this may influence the exact timing and type of breast cancer screening that you may need. Breast cancer is often found on a mammogram years before a lump is felt. Early detection is key in successful survival outcomes. When caught in its earliest stages, breast cancer has a 98 percent likelihood of being cured. The Northside Hospital Breast Care Program is one of the nation’s leading providers of breast care services, diagnosing and treating more breast cancer cases each year than any other program in the Southeast.

Hearing health significantly impacts overall health By AMY LEDBETTER, AU.D. If you think living with hearing loss is not a big deal, or that only people with a serious hearing loss need help, you may want to take a closer look into the effects of hearing impairment. A recent study by the non-profit Better Hearing Institute (BHI) has linked untreated hearing loss to a myriad of other health issues. These include fatigue and stress, depression, avoidance or withdrawal from social situations, reduced alertness, increased risk to personal safety, impaired memory and ability to learn new tasks, diminished psychological and overall health, reduced job performance and earning power, and a greater risk of developing dementia. Making matters worse, studies have shown that the effects of hearing loss compound without treatment. Just as muscles grow weak from lack of use, the brain loses its ability to process sounds and recognize speech without regular auditory stimulation. The longer people go without hearing optimally, the more difficult it is to recover a full appreciation of words, sounds and music. Early treatment for your hearing loss can help you better manage various situations related to untreated hearing loss. A study by the non-profit National Council on Aging (NCOA) concluded that hearing loss treatment is shown to improve quality of life in several
areas, including physical health and mental stability, the sense of control over life, communication in relationships and intimacy LEDBETTER and warmth in family relationships, ease in communication, and improved earning power. Prevalence of Hearing Loss Among older adults, hearing loss is one of the most common self-reported conditions. The National Health Interview survey found that 27 percent of adults aged 65 and older reported a hearing problem. These studies, based on self-report, probably underestimate the prevalence of hearing loss, as people may be unaware of a hearing loss or unwilling to admit to having a problem (National Health Interview Survey, 1989 – National Center for Health Statistics). A survey performed by the Better Hearing Institute estimates that 31.5 million Americans report a hearing difficulty, which is around 10 percent of the U.S. population.

How is hypothyroidism diagnosed? Blood tests can usually confirm whether you are suffering from hypothyroidism. There are a few different things that your doctor can test you for. Whether you want to know this or not, understanding a bit of the anatomy can make it easier to understand what the blood tests mean. Here’s a bit of an anatomy explanation first. Your thyroid gland is located in your neck. It is, however, also regulated and controlled by a part of your brain, called the pituitary gland. The pituitary also receives feedback from the thyroid so it is kind of like they are always communicating with one another. There is also another part of the brain called the hypothalamus, and it also regulates and works with the pituitary. Therefore, it takes all three working together – the hypothalamus, the pituitary gland, and the thyroid– to have a properly-functioning thyroid system. This is called the HPT Axis. This is how they work together: The hypothalamus in your brain releases Thyrotropin Releasing Hormone (TRH). TRH then stimulates the pituitary gland in your brain to release Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH). Now, the TSH signals the thyroid gland (located in your neck area) to release its hormones (T4 and some T3). T4 also gets converted into T3 in the liver. Yes,
your digestive system is involved in this process as well, so if you have any digestion issues or have had surgery to remove any digestive organs, the odds are it’s affecting your thyroid. Now you may understand why so many endocrinologists are getting your diagnosis wrong. The thyroid also releases calcitonin, which is related to calcium and bone SAVEDOFF metabolism, but for the purposes of this, we do not need to discuss it. T4 and T3 then go about their work of maintaining a healthy metabolism, as well as ensuring proper growth in infants and children. Here’s a schematic of what was just explained: Hypothalamus releases TRH --> Pituitary Gland releases TSH --> Thyroid Gland releases T4 and some T3 (and calcitonin). So when you go to your doctor, there are many blood tests that can be performed. It is helpful for you to know all of the different types available. Here are most of them: 1. Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) – This is usually the most common test. Hypothyroidism can be detected if the TSH is high. This test can also be helpful in diagnosing subclinical hypothyroidism, where you have higher than normal levels of TSH, but normal levels of T3 and T4. The reason behind the TSH test is that in healthy individuals with normal, functioning thyroids, when their thyroid hormones get too low, the pituitary knows it has to make more TSH to tell the thyroid to make more of its hormones. When the pituitary receives feedback that the thyroid has made enough hormones, then it slows its production of TSH. That is how it is supposed to work.
However, in the case of hypothyroidism, when the thyroid is not making enough thyroxine (T4), the pituitary tries to stimulate the thyroid to make more by producing more TSH. However, if the thyroid cannot make more T4 (depending on what is wrong with the thyroid), the pituitary keeps on making more and more TSH, resulting in higher amounts of TSH. So when high levels of TSH are seen, it could mean that the body also has low levels of T4. Which in rare cases, may mean something is wrong with your pituitary and not your thyroid. 2. Total Thyroxine (T4) – Most of the T4 in your blood is attached to a protein. About 1% is not. A total T4 test is looking at both kinds of T4 (bound and not). The free T4 (the 1%) is what affects your tissues. 3. Free Thyroxine or Free T4 – This test checks the amount of free T4 available for actual use by your body. 4. T3 Tests – There are Total T3, Free T3, and Reverse T3 tests. 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.

Hypothyroidism: Continued from Page 24 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, and cannot provide the energy they need, hence the growing diagnosis of Reverse T3 dominance in my practice. 5. 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.

Understanding the seriousness of the flu (NAPSI)—If you or someone you care about is among the estimated 45 million Americans who are 65 years of age and older, there’s an important health fact you should know: As you age, your immune system weakens. This can make influenza (“the flu”) severe and even life threatening for older adults. The 2014−2015 flu season recorded the highest hospitalization rates among people 65 years of age and older in recent history, yet a new survey of more than 1,000 U.S. seniors found that many underestimate the seriousness of the flu and are largely unaware of their vaccine options. To help educate older adults and those who care for them about the seriousness of the flu, the importance of prevention and available vaccine options, two-time Emmy and Tony award−winning actress Judith Light— starring in the new Broadway play Thérèse Raquin—has joined the Flu + You program for the second year in a row as the campaign ambassador. “I turned 65 last year, and even though I still feel healthy and active, I know my immune system weakens with age,” said Light. “I can’t afford to let the flu slow me down, and luckily my doctor gave me a flu shot specifically for my age. If you’re over 65 like me, talk to your health care provider about flu prevention and your flu vaccine options, and get vaccinated early before it’s too late.” The flu can make existing health problems worse and is especially dangerous for people with chronic health conditions, like heart
disease and diabetes, which commonly affect older adults. People with these conditions are more likely to develop complications from the flu that can result in hospitalization and even death. “Adults 65 and over typically account for roughly half of flu-related hospitalizations and almost all flu-related deaths, and yet the survey we conducted shows that only 8 percent of survey respondents are concerned about getting the flu,” said Kathleen Cameron, MPH, Senior Director, National Council on Aging. “Furthermore, about one third of respondents are unaware that someone with chronic health conditions would be at risk for complications from the flu.” The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) states the single best way to prevent the flu is to get an annual vaccination. However, the survey found that more than half of seniors are unaware that there is a flu shot specifically for their age group. Older adults have flu vaccine options, including the regular flu shot and a higher-dose vaccine, both of which are widely available at a doctor’s office or local pharmacy. Flu vaccination is a Medicare benefit with no copay. Older adults and their caregivers can learn more at ncoa.org/Flu, which features more survey results, free educational materials, and a public service announcement with Judith Light. Flu + You is a national public education initiative sponsored by the National Council on Aging in collaboration with Sanofi Pasteur.

SuperSlow Zone’s accredited, certified instructors work one-on-one with clients to develop an exercise program that suits individual needs and fitness levels. The results are noticeable, which keeps clients motivated and working out regularly. Patrick Colocino, 69 and retired, has type II diabetes. “This past December my A1C was off the charts. My doctor said I had to make some drastic lifestyle changes…I’m not an exercise junkie, I hate to jog and treadmills are not for me, but I had to do something. I read an article about SuperSlow Zone—‘Maximum Results, Minimum Time’. This sounded like my kind of exercise.” Within 3 months Patrick dropped his A1C by 2.5 points. “My doctor was happy and so was I.” “Since starting SuperSlow Zone training I have more energy, endurance and better muscle tone. I look forward to my 20-minute session 2x week, and for someone who hates to exercise I can’t believe I said that. I’m an avid golfer and since starting SuperSlow Zone my average drive has increased about 20 yards. This has been a great program for me and a great decision on my part.”

Rivers Alive helps local waterways Annual event draws hundreds
By JONATHAN COPSEY jonathan@appenmediagroup.com ALPHARETTA, Ga. – It was a soggy morning Sept. 26 as dozens of young people and other volunteers donned bright vests and gloves to clean up local waterways. The effort in Alpharetta – centered around Rock Mill Park – was part of Rivers Alive, the annual cleanup of local waterways and roadsides. The Greenway was cleaned of litter, volunteers put down pine straw around trees and landscaping around Rock Mill Park, some built birdhouses and others placed clean water markers at storm drains, said Terry Porter, environmental programs coordinator with Alpharetta. “These are positive reminders and education of how to prevent water pollution,” Porter said. The water markers in particular were organized in local neighborhoods, Porter said. Volunteers placed round plastic stickers on storm drains alerting residents that the runoff goes into local streams. Porter said many residents are

Kids from the youth leadership group C5 Youth Foundation helped with Rivers Alive not aware that such drains do not go into a sewer system. “Little Indian and Foe Killer creeks both have bacteria problems that are caused by runoff,” Porter said. “We can do something about it.” About 120 volunteers gave their time Saturday morning in Alpharetta. A large contingent came from C5 Youth Foundation, a youth leadership nonprofit. Rivers Alive is an annual program of the Environmental Protection Division’s Adopt-AStream Program and the Keep Georgia Beautiful Program.
The annual Georgia Waterway Cleanup is one of the largest volunteer efforts to beautify Georgia’s water resources. Georgia has more than 70,100 miles of rivers and streams that need help to stay clean. Individuals, neighborhoods, Scout troops, schools, churches, clubs and service organizations are asked each year to pull together to make a difference for the Chattahoochee River and its tributaries.

King’s Ridge students honored as Athletes of the Week ALPHARETTA, Ga. -- Five King’s Ridge Christian School (KRCS) students were recently honored as athletes of the week. Kenna Coe, a senior cheerleader was the first honoree. “Spirit is a key component to being a varsity cheerleader. Kenna shows school spirit and a love of cheer throughout the entire game. She is always positive and energetic, cheering to the crowd on Friday nights,” said Coach Kim Campbell. The second distinction went to football senior Scott Murphy. According to Head Coach Jeff Pickren, “Scott was selected for his performance against Mount Paran on Friday night. Scott kicked a 25-yard field goal in the 2nd quarter and an extra point in the 3rd quarter. His kicking was one of the bright spots in a disappointing outcome for the Tigers.” In softball, the award was presented to KRCS junior, Abigail Miller. “Abigail had a breakout week for the varsity softball team last week. She played unbelievable defense that helped record some key outs for the team. She has worked hard at the plate and it has paid off.” said Coach Ardin Tucker.
“Abigail also had some big hits during the game last week. It has been so wonderful to see her back on the field again after missing the season last year due to an injury.” The fourth honoree was cross country sophomore Patricia Cordero. According to Coach King, “Patricia worked hard all week in practice and turned in a solid performance at the Fulton Cross Country Championships.” To round out the student athletes of the week, the final award was given to sophomore Kelly Smoltz for her performance on the volleyball courts. “Kelly has really done wonders for the King’s Ridge Tigers this year with her consistent hitting on the right side and outside. She is hitting almost .300 and continues to impress us with her power and intelligence. Kelly is not only a great hitter, but she is also vocal and a fantastic leader on and off the court. She has grown leaps and bounds from where she was last year. Kelly is smart, fun and a general joy to be around! She always sets an example for her peers and other young girls in the program. We are so proud of her,” said Coach Hampel.

SOUTH FORSYTH VS. NORTHVIEW PREVIEW:
War Eagles to soar over Titans JOHNS CREEK, Ga. – Region 6-AAAAAA leading and undefeated South Forsyth will look to continue their winning ways against a Northview team that has lost two straight games. South Forsyth (5-0, 4-0) has been dominate this season on both sides of the ball, averaging 39 points per game on offense while only allowing 13 points per game defensively. The War Eagles’ defense held two opponents to less than 7 points. Offensively, the War Eagles are stacked with an experienced offensive line, a talented dual-threat quarterback in Davis Shanley, speed in running back Sam Outlaw and multiple talented receivers, including Jalen Camp. Shanley has completed over 65 percent of passes this season and has 10 passing touchdowns and three rushing touchdowns. He was 9 for 13 with 148 yards passing in South’s last game against Chattahoochee. The War Eagles’ defense has been dominate, led by 6-foot-6, 220-pound senior defensive end Cameron Kline. Kline is averaging two sacks per game, has forced two fumbles, two fumble recoveries and fumble recovery for a touchdown. South’s defense is predicated on getting pressure in the backfield, and that could spell trouble for Northview’s offense.

PREDICTING THE GAME:
LOCK OF THE WEEK South Forsyth 31
Northview 17
See more predictions below.
Northview (3-2, 2-2) is coming off of a discouraging performance against West Forsyth in which they gave up four turnovers and were outscored 28-7. After starting the season 3-0, the Titans dropped their last two games. The Titans may see a new starting quarterback in Colton McDaniel. Starter Paul Miller was replaced by McDaniel in the second half against West Forsyth after going just 3-6 for 4 yards in the first half. McDaniel also struggled, throwing two interceptions and a fumble. McDaniel finished the game 5-12 for 79 yards. The Titans’ offensive line was effective on running plays against West, finishing with 233 yards on the ground, but they struggled to keep the pocket intact on pass attempts, something South Forsyth will look to exploit. A bright spot for the Titans offense came from Titans running back Emeka Nwanze who averaged 6.8-yards per carry against West Forsyth. AJ Green also had 69 yards on 13 carries.
Take away two big passing touchdowns in single coverage and the Titans’ defense performed fairly well against an effective West offense. However, they did struggle to get pressure on quarterback Kiernan Hamilton. They will face a South offensive line that has imposed its will on opposing front fours. The War Eagles will look to remain perfect and should against a skidding Northview team that has many questions to be answered at the quarterback position. The defensive prowess of South should challenge the Titans’ offensive line and pressure the Titans quarterback, whomever it may be. The Titans will have to get pressure on Shanley as their secondary gave up multiple long-yardage passing plays in their prior game. However, both teams have lots of talent and that should keep this one fairly close. O ur prediction: South Forsyth 31, Northview 17

King’s Ridge students honored as ‘Athletes of the Week’ ALPHARETTA, Ga. – Four King’s Ridge Christian School (KRCS) students were honored as athletes of the week. Alexa Boulineau, a senior cheerleader was the first honoree. “Alexa Boulineau is such a versatile cheerleader on our KR team this year,” stated Coach Kim Campbell. “She will tumble when needed, stunt when needed and lead the crowd in a cheer.” The second distinction went to football junior, Orion Caldwell. According to Head Coach Jeff Pickren, “Orion Caldwell is the Varsity football player of the week for his defensive play against The Darlington School this past Friday night. He had 12 tackles, 4 assists, and 1 sack (which came on a critical 4th down play). Orion is a hardnosed, dedicated football player who is a joy to coach.” In softball, the award was presented to KRCS freshman, Kierstyn Drollette. “Kierstyn has been the starting pitcher for all of the varsity softball games this season. She pitched an amazing game on Wednesday against Galloway leading the team to their first home victory of the season. Kierstyn has been a rock for the team all season and has helped to take the team to the next level. We have no doubt that she will continue to excel this season,” said Coach Ardin Tucker. To round out the week’s honorees, the final award was given to Heaven Robinson, a sophomore. Coach Megan Hampel said, “Heaven has grown leaps and bounds since last season in every aspect. Heaven was asked to change positions to Middle Blocker and Hitter to fill a need on the team, and she has embraced it and done more than I could ever ask for. She had a stellar performance this weekend at the Providence tournament and had a few outstanding hits and blocks that led us to such a successful weekend.” —Isabelle Nguyen

Wrestler Studenic heads to Greece Part of U.S. Olympic Team
From left are local wrestlers Ed Paladino, Eric Cluck, John Hanrahan and Daniel Studenic, who hope to make waves at the World Championship Wrestling in Greece later this month.
MILTON, Ga. -- Accomplished collegiate wrestlers Daniel Studenic, John Hanrahan, Eric Cluck and Ed Paladino will risk it all, pursuing the gold on the world wrestling stage. A carpenter, training coach, executive and commercial air conditioning rep, respectively, these middle-aged competitors have committed to represent the red white and blue as the Atlanta delegates in the United
World Wrestling’s World Veteran Wrestling Championship Tournament in Athens, Greece, Oct. 13, 2015. Studenic, Hanrahan, Cluck and Paladino are four of 75 wrestlers nationwide who are representing Team United States. This includes three women. At Faliro Olympic Arena there will be over 600 bouts held that week. They will be competing against former Olympians and national champs from the ’60’s – ’80’s, from over 36 other countries. That said; it is lot more serious than a bunch of old guys getting together to roll around on the mat. Internationally; everyone involved is extremely determined to stand atop of the podium with the Gold, for their Country.
The four Atlanta delegates have been undergoing intense training sessions for many months at the “Cooler Wrestling Cage” in Alpharetta. Due to having only 35 members, in the past the United States has only come in second and third place as a team in this world event. This year, Team USA has over 75 wrestlers competing and envisions a “World Team Gold” this year. As self-supported delegates/wrestlers and due to lack of government funding for this Team USA International Competition, the team relies on community support and funding. Studenic, Hanrahan, Cluck and Paladino accept donations at www.GoFundMe. com/godan —Jonathan Copsey

Will perform with 2016 U.S. Army All-American Marching Band MILTON, Ga. – Susan Miller and Michael Makrides of Milton High School have been selected for the 2016 U.S. Army All-American Marching Band. Miller and Makrides will join an elite group of marching band members who will perform during halftime at the U.S. Army All-American Bowl at the Alamodome in San Antonio, Texas. “Being a successful band member not only requires great skill, but also a commitment to teamwork,” said Mark S. Davis, deputy assistant secretary of the Army for marketing. “And similar to all Army soldiers, these students have proven to be incredibly versatile and mentally and physically nimble. We are proud to honor all of our talented 2016 U.S. Army All-American Band members and commend each of them on their selection to this elite

The 2015 U.S. Army AllAmerican Bowl drew a crowd of 35,687 to the Alamodome and was the most-watched sporting event on television over the weekend, excluding the NFL playoffs.

MOWR: Continued from Page 1 University of Georgia. As an added bonus, students who take college classes while in high school can earn college and high school credit for the same course — provided it is one of the many thousands of approved MOWR courses. All college credits earned do not count against the student’s HOPE eligibility allotment, and a semester-long college course counts as a full year of high school credit. Students interested in participating in MOWR must first meet the admission standards of participating post-secondary schools, noted Matthews. “The primary eligibility for MOWR is they have to be accepted into the university or college, and each has their own admission requirements,” Matthews said. “Almost all have a GPA requirement, and for some there is a testing requirement.” The MOWR program is available to all high school stu-

dents, from 9th to 12th grade. Matthews cautions that a child may be academically capable of handling college level courses, but parents should also consider social and emotional maturity as well before placing their child on a college campus. “The student that has the most success in a full-time college setting is one who shows a high level of academic achievement, has social and emotional maturity, can prioritize and organize well, and is a good decision maker with good timemanagement skills,” said Matthews, noting these soft skills are equally important. He said a high school environment has a high level of support for students, which may not be found as readily in a college setting where students are expected to be more self-sufficient. For that reason, all students and parents looking into dual or full-time enrollment must meet first with their high school counselors to discuss options, said Matthews. First, the student must be on a path to meeting high
school graduation requirements. The counselor will then work with the student to determine current and future goals and what may be the best options under MOWR. “Do they want to jump right onto a college campus, or are they just looking to earn college credit?” said Matthews, who said college classes can also be taken on high school campuses. For students interested in enrolling in the MOWR program for the spring semester, there is still time to meet both the institution and state deadlines for January enrollment, if they act quickly. “There is a wide range of application cutoffs in the next six to eight weeks to get accepted,” noted Matthews. “But they need to meet with their counselor.” There are three terms under MOWR – fall, spring and summer.

Milton Cross Country defends titles MILTON, Ga. - On their home course, the Eagles of Milton won their sixth straight “Best Overall Program Award” Sept. 19 in cross country as Milton won five out of six team races and had race winners in four out of six individual races. Varsity Boys: The defending champions, Eagles of Milton (1st-28 pts), were an easy winner dispatching 12 scoring schools. Senior and defending champion Jack Bluth (1st -17:08) took down the course record by 22 seconds going wire-to-wire for the easy win. Milton sophomore Sam Bowers (2nd -17:32) passed Cambridge senior Bjorn Leicher during the 2nd mile to earn the runner-up spot and become the 3rd fastest performer ever on the Milton course. The Eagles depth of putting all seven of their runners in the top-14 was too much for any school to counter. Varsity Girls: The Lady Eagles (ranked 4th All-Class & 3rd in 6A) took on their toughest field to date and came away
with their second-straight runner-up finish (2nd-72 pts). Defending champions Northview (1st-57 pts) ranked 7th All-Class, were able to fend-off Milton and Lovett (3rd-84 pts), who was ranked 3rd All-Class. Landmark Christian (5th-139 pts), ranked 1st in 1A put up a tough fight upfront but were not able to match the power of the larger schools. Senior captain Riley Burr (6th-20:50) ran the 3rd-fastest Milton time ever on the course to lead the Lady Eagles. Unique to this meet is this team award given to the best school program based on their team finishes in all 6-races contested at the county meet. The Eagles of Milton (1-18 pts) were a clear winner after winning 5 of the 6 races contested. Both Blessed Trinity and Northview had 6 points to finish in a tie for 2nd. This is the Eagles 6thstraight title and 9th in the last 12 years. —Zenzele Price-Richardson
