Craig’s List apparent Man caught and charged with armed robbery shooter arrested By KATHLEEN STURGEON kathleen@appenmediagroup.com

By KATHLEEN STURGEON kathleen@appenmediagroup.com

FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. — A man who reportedly shot another while in the middle of a Craig’s List deal has been arrested. Robert Frederick, 32, of Grayson was arrested Oct. 7 after Forsyth County Sheriff’s Office detectives, along with the Gwinnett County Police, served a search FREDERICK warrant at the suspect’s residence in Grayson. Additionally, small quantities of heroin, cocaine and firearms were found at the residence. Frederick reportedly shot Eugene Ryerson, 57, of Cumming on Sept. 30 at 11:25 p.m. outside Kroger, 1595 Peachtree Parkway. Ryerson told deputies he had purchased tools from Frederick in the past, but during this transaction, Frederick reportedly shot Ryerson once in his right side. Frederick was charged with attempted murder, criminal attempt, armed robbery and aggravated assault, all felonies. He was booked into the Forsyth County Jail where he remains without bond. Frederick also faces weapons and drug charges in Gwinnett County.

FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. — A man was charged with armed robbery after walking into a local pharmacy and requesting various drugs at gunpoint. Michael Patton, 46, of Cumming was arrested Oct. 12. While wearing sunglasses and a blue wig, police said Patton entered PATTON Bethelview Pharmacy, 5610 Bethelview Road, approached the pharmacist, produced a handgun and requested Xanax and testosterone. A detailed physical description was given from the pharmacist along with a store video and a description of the getaway car. Detectives were also able to see a large, unique tattoo on the back of the man’s head. A search of the Forsyth County Jail booking photos identified the man. Later that night, deputies spotted Patton’s car and took him into custody. He was arrested and charged with armed robbery, aggravated assault, possession of a firearm by a convicted felon and possession of a firearm during certain crimes. He was booked in the county jail without immediate bond.

There in lies the rub â€“ the clinical challenge of floppy eyelids. By Kiran Sajja, M.D.

Kiran Sajja, MD.

Cosmetic Plastic Surgeon

Floppy Eyelid Syndrome (FES) can be a very difficult condition to treat in your practice. FES is characterized by the classic triad of obesity, an elastic-like upper eyelid that can be easily everted with minimal eyelid traction, and a variable chronic papillary conjunctivitis of the upper palpebral conjunctiva. The condition is associated with obstructive sleep apnea and linked to keratoconus.

The exact cause of FES is unknown, however, several studies have demonstrated decreased levels of elastin within the tarsal plate. This likely results in poor eyelid apposition between the lax eyelid and the globe resulting in mechanical conjunctival and corneal irritation. Several studies suggest chronic eyelid eversion may cause mechanical trauma to the tarsus. Patients may note nonspecific irritation, foreign body sensation, mucoid discharge, dryness, tearing, redness, photosensitivity, and eyelid swelling. On examination, patients with FES may present with eyelid ptosis, dermatochalasis, and ectropion. Conservative methods of treatment include the use of lubricants to manage ocular surface irritation, topical antiinflammatories/steroids to address episodes of conjunctival inflammation and chemosis, and patching/shielding to prevent eyelid eversion. A trial of an oral tetracycline is appropriate, especially in patients with meibomian gland dysfunction. Surgical methods of treatment should be reserved for patients with persistent symptoms despite use of conservative remedies. The intervention should be catered to the constellation of symptoms. Significant lower eyelid laxity can be addressed with horizontal eyelid shortening or lateral permanent tarsorrhaphy. Upper eyelid laxity can be addressed with eyelid ptosis repair (specifically Mullerâ€™s Muscle - Conjunctival Resection in patients with significant mucoid discharge), full-thickness wedge resection, or upper blepharoplasty. Floppy eyelid syndrome is a difficult condition to treat, but early, prompt recognition and diagnosis will improve patient care and adherence to treatment. I am happy to discuss difficult cases that arise in your clinical practice and offer any insight in the care of your patients. I appreciate your referral of patients and I look forward to managing these complex cases together.

Panel will answer questions By KATHLEEN STURGEON kathleen@appenmediagroup.com FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. — Ending the stigma of addiction is paramount to the Forsyth County Drug Awareness Council. It’s also the theme of this year’s sixth annual Drug Summit scheduled for 6 p.m. Oct. 24 at the Forsyth Conference Center. To raise awareness of various aspects of drug addiction, a panel composed of law enforcement, judges, lawyers, therapists, interventionists, addicts, doctors and parents of addicts will answer questions provided by the audience. Questions are still being accepted through the group’s Facebook page, http://bit.ly/2dQo6Oz. Topics will include risk factors parents need to watch for, new drugs in the community, new signs to watch for and things to be concerned about. The group of experts will work toward educating the audience, said Forsyth Commissioner Cindy Jones Mills,

Outdoor burning restricted in Forsyth

KATHLEEN STURGEON/HERALD

Two workers were electrocuted Oct. 12 after the crane they were on came into contact with live wires.

Two workers electrocuted on construction site Crane collided with live wires By KATHLEEN STURGEON kathleen@appenmediagroup.com FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. — Two workers were critically injured Oct. 12 after the crane they were on collided with live wires. The workers were at a construction

FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. — While the summer ban on outdoor burning enacted each year by the Georgia Environmental Protection Division has ended, the Georgia Forestry Commission has announced that, due to drought conditions, outdoor burning permits will not be issued in Forsyth County for the foreseeable future. The restriction on outdoor burning applies to all of the counties in the GFC’s Coosa South District, of which Forsyth County is a part. All outdoor burning including leaves, trash, yard

debris and storm damage is prohibited. The GFC cited the current drought conditions, ongoing fire activity and forecast models showing no significant moisture as the reasons for not allowing outdoor burning. A timeline for the burning restrictions has not been determined and will depend upon weather conditions. For more details regarding outdoor burning regulations, visit forsythco. com or call the Forsyth County Fire Department Fire Marshal’s Office at 678-455-8072.

The crane was lifting materials into the upper floor of a home under construction when it came into contact with a highvoltage power line. The workers were air lifted to Grady Memorial Hospital with life-threatening injuries. The incident resulted in power outages to thousands of homes and businesses from Drew Campground Road to Post Road to Hwy. 20.

OPINION

Autumn in North Atlanta – ain’t it grand?

I love autumn for many reasons – glorious football, the end of summer heat and beautiful fall HATCHER HURD colors. Executive Editor hatcher@appenmediagroup.com And I have to thank our local cities for turning fall into one of the most festive times of the year. Normally, I spend a lot of fall weekends convincing My Lady Wife that those multi-colored fall leaves are just as beautiful lying on the ground as they are hanging in trees. That is what we husbands call the Hard Sell. Fortunately we also have at our fingertips what is known as the Soft Sell. The Soft Sell is simply pointing out cool and neat things to do instead of yardwork. And for that we guys can thank Roswell, Alpharetta, Milton, Johns Creek and Cumming for offering up such a bountiful number of alternatives to swinging a rake. Roswell presented us with its annual Fall Colors art show which has been going on half a century so I guess you can call it successful. It is one of those unique events that makes Roswell so – well – so Roswell. Of course Canton Street is not to be outdone, so I will be forced to go to the Oktoberfest on Canton Saturday, Oct. 22 (someone please twist my arm). The Chattahoochee Nature Center is always a treat and a half. Their Harvest on the ‘Hooch is a great annual event. Alpharetta went for the big doubleAheader the first two weekends in Oc-

Johns Creek Arts Festival.

tober. They began with the Brew Moon Octoberfest which was a street party I haven’t seen since my freshman year outside Russell Hall. Downtown Alpharetta is just a happening place. But you say you’re not a beer kind of person. Next fall sign up for the Roswell Wine Festival – but do it early, because it sells out. It is also on Canton Street but they bring the wine and the food to you. I try never to miss the Cumming Country Fair and Festival which is always like the fair that used to come to my hometown – except we never had Charlie Daniels smoking up his fiddle sending the Devil down in Georgia again. Who doesn’t remember going to the fair. And who doesn’t like seeing the little ones discovering it for the first time. And if you haven’t been, the huge steam tractors will leave you gobsmacked. I was really smart this past weekend, taking M’Lady to the Johns Creek Arts Festival which has some really cool artists and artisans. We had a blast there too. So far, I have not spent an afternoon in the yard all fall. We have some happening cities here that make it hard for a confirmed couch potato like me to hold on to his union card. So if you have been missing out by pruning back those hydrangeas and winterizing your deck or ticking off your Honey-Do items, you still have time. Turn to our calendar section and find something happening outdoors.

John Oates of Hall & Oates preforming on the main stage at Wire & Wood.

December, January and February are going to be here for a long time. So let the little things slide, grab your significant other and enjoy the sunshine. As for my yard leaves? Well, I am trying something newly suggested by the UGA Agronomy Department.

It’s called Mulching in Place. No rake required.

The Cumming Fair offers fun for all.

NO EXCUSE FOR ABUSE:

COMMUNITY

Light for Love walk raises awareness of domestic violence Candlelight vigil in honor, memory of victims By KATHLEEN STURGEON kathleen@appenmediagroup.com FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. — A group of men and women chanted “no excuse for abuse” while walking down Veterans Memorial Boulevard Oct. 12, in an effort to raise awareness of domestic violence in the community. This demonstration is one part of the annual Forsyth County Family Haven Light for Love candlelight vigil. Family Haven provides victims of violence and their families a hotline, temporary shelter and support. “Every step we take is a step for those who can’t,” said Family Haven Executive Director Shandra Dawkins. Various survivor stories were told from real people’s experiences that used Family Haven. A lighting ceremony was held and the names were read of the 150 people who died from domestic violence in Georgia from 2014 to now. The state of Georgia is ranked eighth in violent crimes against women, moving up one spot from last year. Dawkins said that’s moving in the wrong direction and therefore more lives are being lost to domestic violence every year. Fortunately, Dawkins said, Forsyth didn’t have any deaths the past year, but neighboring Fulton County had two deaths. “It’s in our places of worship, schools and workplace,” Dawkins said. “We need to be conscious and aware

that domestic family violence happens everywhere.” Survivor Christy Denton spoke at the event about how she knows how it feels to be a victim. “I know what it’s like to be hit, pushed, slapped, hurt, intimidated and threatened,” Denton said. “I know what it’s like to have my family threatened if I don’t do what someone wants. Unfortunately right now we have so many women still going through this.”

A crowd chants “no excuse for abuse” while holding signs outside the Forsyth County Courthouse. She said her story changed 15 years ago, but there are still women out there who are going through what she escapted. “She’s alone, hurting and scared,” Denton said. “By the time I finish this sentence, it moves on to another one because (violence) happens every nine

seconds in our country.” Denton said she is thankful to be a survivor. “Life can be better,” she said. “It’s everybody’s business. I’m a success story, but there are people who don’t have somewhere to turn. We have to make a difference.”

K-9 survives 30-foot drop while on duty Catches fleeing man suspected in phone thefts By JULIA GROCHOWSKI julia@appenmediagroup.com ALPHARETTA, Ga. — A K-9 was severely injured while working a case Saturday, Oct. 8 and had to undergo emergency surgery for a lacerated liver and heavy internal bleeding. He has since pulled through and is expected to make a full recovery. The injuries were sustained while pursuing a man fleeing from police on foot. An Alpharetta police officer had been patrolling on North Point Parkway southbound, near Encore Parkway, that night and drove by a silver BMW. But when the officer’s car approached the BMW, it took off speeding and police followed. “The officer was just going to do a tag check on the vehicle, and he did not pull the vehicle over or put on any emergency lights. But all of a sudden, the vehicle abruptly ran a red light, changed lanes and took off at a high rate of speed,” said Public Information Officer George Gordon. “We had no idea why the vehicle was fleeing.” Police eventually cornered the BMW in a parking lot at the Old Milton Parkway intersection. The driver and the passenger exited the car and fled on foot, bolting in separate directions when police approached. The K-9, Mattis, and his handler, officer Mark Tappan, went after the 19-year-old driver. When they began to close in, the suspect fell down a 30-foot retaining wall, and the ever-loyal K-9

K-9s are all highly trained and can have numerous roles in a police department, including detecting drugs, sniffing out explosives, tracking wanted or missing people and protection. Mattis is specially trained for protection and apprehension. “They’re police officer partners,” Public Information Officer George Gordon said. “If something goes down, and it can go down real bad, the K-9 is there as an asset to help.” The K-9s, including Mattis, tend to serve with police between 5-8 years. “Once they have finished their service with their handler, generally, the dogs are adopted by their handler,” Gordon said. “The handlers consider the K-9s to be a part of their family.” followed closely behind. “I started to jump over the guardrail, but I stopped myself,” Tappan said. “Out of the corner of my eye, I see my fearless partner here in full flight, going right behind the guy.

FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. — Hope is a common thread for No Longer Bound. The group rescues addicts, regenerates men and reconciles relationships with their families and community. In order to do that, they must have hope, said Executive Director Edward Bailey. The group celebrated its 25 year anniversary Oct. 13 at its annual banquet. The theme for the event and for the program in general is hope. One of those beacons of hope is given a special award for servant leadership. This year’s winner is Chief Judge Jeffrey Bagley of Forsyth County Superior Court and resigning judge of the Forsyth County Drug Court. “When I go about doing what I do every day, I don’t expect recognition. It’s just what I do,” Bagley said. “The pay I get is to see them go out into the community and do well.” Subjects under the drug court jurisdiction often affiliate with No Longer Bound and must reflect on their life and their choices.

KATHLEEN STURGEON/HERALD

Popeyes’ CEO Cheryl Bachelder gives the keynote speech.

Bailey said within each person is a set of core beliefs, and within addicts those beliefs are usually broken and must be repaired. While repairing themselves, Bailey said keeping hope alive might be the single most important thing No Longer Bound offers its residents and community. “I would argue hope is absolutely necessary for survival,” Bailey said. “When we lose it, we’re in trouble.

Maybe there is a second chance for me.’” And for all the things that make humans different, he said he thinks hope is the one thing we all have in common. “Hope could possibly save a life,” Bailey said. “We wonder why so many people have lost to addiction. But when you lose hope, maybe you just don’t care anymore.” And for those who have seen the lowest point in their lives, Bailey said he knows how they feel. He went through the program in 2004 as a 24-year-old strung out man who he said was about to die. His addiction started in high school and followed him to college where he eventually started using methamphetamines. One day he woke up and thought he was losing all hope. He said he knows if he hadn’t changed his ways, he would have died within a year. The last person he got high with later died a year after Bailey went to No Longer Bound. “It hit me that he’s never going to see his 30s. He’s never going to know

In the future if the county was ever asked to come in and own these streets, we don’t want to own anything that was built to less than our standards. KEN JARRARD, County Attorney 16 | Forsyth Herald | October 20, 2016

Halcyon runs into street, water, sewage issues County planning to update zoning By KATHLEEN STURGEON kathleen@appenmediagroup.com FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. — Since breaking ground in February, Halcyon, the mixed-use development off Exit 12 on Ga. 400, has run into a few snags regarding roads, water and sewer. Forsyth County Attorney Ken Jarrard told the Board of Commissioners Oct. 11 that discussions were held about how to continue with the development while still meeting county regulations. To do that, Jarrard said a commission-driven amendment needs to be made to Halcyon’s zoning. So the board approved moving forward with a county-initiated major amendment to the Master Planned Districts. Those allow flexibility in the design and construction of Halcyon that don’t comply with the guidelines of traditional zoning codes. “We are going to have to designate the interior corridors within the Halcyon project as not public or private streets as it’s used in our code,” he said. “That’s because as public or private streets are used or described in the county’s Unified Development Code, they must be up to public standards.” The product that Halcyon is endeavoring to create does not anticipate streets, at least at this point, that are up to public standards, Jarrard said.

This rendering shows the central square and market area at Halcyon.

This map shows Halcyon in relation to Avalon and the Collection at Forsyth. The issue is the roads are expected to be smaller or narrower than what the county calls for. Additionally, improvements underneath the roads that are needed are not typical of what the county does. “They have some storm water drainage that is underneath the roads that under our typical permitting process we would not allow under a public road,” Jarrard said. “It is unique to their development. We just don’t accommodate it in our specifications and standards.” To do that, Jarrard said corridors would have to be called something other than public streets or roads. Otherwise they’ll get caught up in the county’s code and force them to be built to those standards. “In the future if the county was ever asked to come in and own these streets, we don’t want to own anything that

was built to less than our standards,” Jarrard said. The county is not responsible for maintaining these private roads. A second issue regards water and sewer. Jarrard said the infrastructure needs to belong to the county since the county is providing these services. “However, we didn’t want to be responsible for the enhanced costs of repair, maintenance and upkeep based upon the tightness of the package,” Jarrard said. “If we get in there and begin moving around dirt, there are a lot more costs associated with moving that when your space is tighter.” To combat that, Jarrard said he and his team have come up with an easement. This would allow the county to have the right to go in and disturb the land, but the costs to put everything back together would be on Halcyon. This would avoid passing costs along to taxpayers. Halcyon, owned by real estate groups RocaPoint Partners and The Georgetown Company, is a $370 million

Trails are big business It seems counterintuitive to think of biking and walking trails going hand in hand with business and property development. But if you look around Atlanta – they GEOFF SMITH surely do. Assurance Financial, gsmith@lendtheway.com In town Atlanta’s Beltline is probably the most famous biking trail in the country right now. For those not yet aware, it was the brain-child of Georgia Tech student Ryan Gravel who wrote his thesis on turning an abandoned rail line that encircled the city into a bike trail. The idea wasn’t just about giving bikers more options in the city to ride. He thought it would spur redevelopment in parts of town that developers typically stayed away from. He thought it would help connect the varying neighborhoods throughout the city. He thought it would be an important amenity for in town residents. He was right on all of those accounts. The city fell in love with the project. The Metro Atlanta Chamber and its members have contributed millions of dollars toward development of the trail. The City of Atlanta has devoted resources and time working with Atlanta Beltline Inc., the non-profit formed from Gravel’s idea, to develop overlays to its standard development guidelines so that developers’ projects would be streamlined through the permitting process. Atlanta Beltline Inc. established a Tax Allocation District around the trail to ensure that as the Beltline is developed, its revenues will increase exponentially to fund more trail improvements. For companies located in town, the Beltline is a tool they use to recruit the best employees from all

over the country. It has certainly taken off and as a more mature project, planners are now starting to butt heads in terms of how future development should be managed. Gravel actually stepped off of the board of Atlanta Beltline Inc. because he feels not enough thought is being given to encouragement of development of less-expensive housing for Atlanta’s lower income workforce. But they are butting heads because the trail is so successful that it has become important to a lot of key people in Atlanta. It seems like each month there is a new, major development announced along the existing, completed portion of trail, or along planned portions of the trail. The Monday Night Brewing company announced it will move its operations to a $30 million development on the Beltline that is supposed to be a beer garden. North American Properties, who developed and recently sold a big portion of Avalon, announced a 4.4 acre, $80-million project on another portion of the trail. I’m sure there are more to come. While the Beltline gets a lot of trail attention, I’d like to note that

Cultivating the Desire to Learn

the community leaders in North Fulton and Forsyth counties had a big trail idea more than 15 years ago. I remember the groundbreaking for the Big Creek Greenway. It all seemed so far off. But today, the trail spans 13.5 miles along segments of the same creek through Forsyth County, Alpharetta and Roswell. Alpharetta was really the first to execute the bulk of the trail and today has it paved from Webb Bridge south to Mansell. It goes a short distance into Roswell, ending at Roswell’s Big Creek Park. Future plans show the trail extending to the Chattahoochee River with a vision to continue it into Cobb County. Roswell has the unenviable chore of trying to cross Holcomb Bridge Road to get it there. I’ve heard of bridges and tunnels as possible options. Forsyth went all in on the trail and today it has an existing paved path going from McFarland Road north to Bethelview Road. And it will be the first to have a true, city-center, type of development on it where riders can get stop and grab a coffee or donut. The project, called Halcyon, is Avalon-like and will be just east of Ga. 400 at McFarland Road. They actively market their connection to the Big Creek Greenway.

Challenges of growing a small business Is your small business growing as fast as you would like? Successful small businesses continually look at the challenges they face and develop plans to address each of them. The DICK JONES key is to understand Founder & President Jones Simply Sales where to focus your attention. Planning is at the top of the list in addressing the challenges you face. Plans that were developed years ago and have been successful may not be optimal in the current environment. Market conditions change quickly and your plan needs to be altered to account for these changes. Cash flow is also a big challenge that small business owners face. For a growing business, cash constraints can be the biggest factor in limiting strategic growth. Having a process in place to identify, prioritize and resolve key issues and challenges will enable a more efficient means of addressing both anticipated and unanticipated problems. Information technology also presents small business owners with a myriad of challenges. The effectiveness and efficiency of human resources, who rely on technology to do their jobs, can be impacted with technology that is old or doesn’t work correctly. Investing in training and teaching your employees new skills is also a big challenge as “time off” for training means that your employees are away from their day-to-day responsibilities. For small businesses to remain relevant, compete, and win in the marketplace, they have to embrace change. This all starts by gaining a thorough understanding of the challenges you face, then doing something about it.

No downside to getting fit, staying fit No less an authority than the Mayo Clinic says the health benefits of regular exercise and physical activity are “hard to ignore.” And everyone benefits from exercise, regardless of age, sex or physical ability. Here are the Mayo Clinic’s top 7 reasons for a regular exercise regimen: 1. Exercise controls weight Exercise can help prevent excess weight gain or help maintain weight loss. When you engage in physical activity, you burn calories. The more intense the activity, the more calories you burn. 2. Exercise combats health conditions and diseases Worried about heart disease? Hoping to prevent high blood pressure? No matter what your current weight, being active boosts high-density lipoprotein (HDL), or “good,” cholesterol and decreases unhealthy triglycerides. Exercise keeps your blood flowing smoothly, which decreases your risk of cardiovascular diseases. Regular exercise helps prevent or manage a wide range of health problems and concerns such as stroke, metabolic syndrome, type 2 diabetes and depression. It is beneficial for a number of types of cancer, arthritis and falls. 3. Exercise improves mood Need an emotional lift? A gym session or brisk 30-minute walk can help. Physical activity stimulates various brain chemicals that may leave you feeling happier and more relaxed. 4. Exercise boosts energy Winded by grocery shopping or household chores? Regular physical activity can improve your muscle strength and boost your endurance. Exercise delivers oxygen and nutrients to your tissues and helps your cardiovascular system work more efficiently. And when your heart and lung health improve, you have more energy to tackle daily chores. 5. Exercise promotes better sleep Regular physical activity can help you fall asleep faster and deepen your sleep. 6. Exercise puts the spark back into your sex life Do you feel too tired or too out of shape to enjoy physical intimacy? Regular physical activity can improve energy levels and physical appearance, which may boost your sex life. 7. Exercise can be fun and social Exercise and physical activity can be enjoyable. It gives you a chance to unwind, enjoy the outdoors or simply engage in activities that make you happy. Physical activity can also help you connect with family or friends in a fun social setting.

Our classrooms are filled with stimulating materials that allow teachers to facilitate children’s exploration through sight, sound, smell, taste, and touch as these sensory experiences send information directly to the brain and form the platform for healthy

Our learning stations are filled with math manipulatives, science elements, and stimulating visuals that support brain pathways for cognitive development. brain growth. We understand that each child is unique, so our teachers cater to different interests and learning styles. From infancy, your child will be exposed to many forms of language (including sign-language), and immersed in an environment rich in language and literacy. Our learning stations are filled with math manipulatives, science elements, and stimulating visuals that support

brain pathways for cognitive development. Problem solving is considered one of the best ways to support brain development, so our teachers conduct activities to help children explore cause and effect and employ questioning strategies that promote higher level thinking. Technology and the Brain Technology is everywhere, so children need healthy exposure to be prepared for life in the 21st century. Research shows, however, that hours of exposure to digital technology can lead to over stimulation of the brain, fatigue, and irritability. At Kids ‘R’ Kids, we take a balanced approach to technology. Our curriculum has been integrated with ABCmouse, one of the latest early childhood technology tools, to enhance learning. With the guidance of a teacher, children engage in digital activities that build language, math, science, and fine motor skills.

FULTON SCIENCE ACADEMY PRIVATE SCHOOL:

Engineering a school of the future, today Fulton Science Academy Private School (FSAPS) serves advanced and gifted students using a STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Mathematics) curriculum. Now enjoying its fifth year as a private school and its second year at a beautiful new campus in Alpharetta, FSAPS proudly represented the state of Georgia in five national and international academic competitions in 2016. This year, the school was recognized as a finalist in two categories of the prestigious STEM Education Awards (hosted by the Technology Association of Georgia) and was recognized as the Best Private School (K-12) and Best Private Primary School by Appen Media. Fulton Science Academy began with 101 students in 2012 and today enjoys 455 students in Pre-K through high school. The study body is diverse and reflects award-winning academic teams, competitive athletes, personal entrepreneurs, professional working actors, and award-winning critical thinkers. There is no “one size fits all” mentality at FSAPS. The school has a diverse student body where every individual’s uniqueness is treasured. Every child is different. Every teacher is different. Every subject is different. Uniqueness is embraced and small class sizes (limited to no more than 20 students) ensure a level of individualized attention and care that students and faculty have come to know and love. In addition to rigorous classes, FSAPS also pro-

vides students beginning in Pre-K with courses in physical education, music, robotics, computer science, art, and foreign language. While academics are very important at FSAPS, the school also places great emphasis on the development of the whole child. During the school day, free time is achieved through daily 30-minute recess periods that provide crucial time for students to run, play, socialize, exercise, or just relax. Teachers enjoy the beautiful new campus grounds and can be seen bringing students outdoors to apply lessons learned inside the classroom. Additionally, students have a chance to support the greater community through several collaborations the school enjoys with nonprofits in the greater Atlanta area. At FSA, every child is considered a gift, and their words matter. Said one elementary student this fall, “I like FSA because they care about all their students. FSA takes learning seriously but they make it fun! When you come to FSA it feels like a family. I love challenges and FSA is one of those challenges. FSA is very peaceful and playful. You can make so many friends easily because everyone is so kind. That’s why I love FSA.” And FSA loves their students as well! Built upon core values of excellence, innovation, and character, FSAPS has engineered a school of the future, today.

FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. — Forsyth County government will conduct a sale of surplus furniture to the public. While the county has surplus furniture from time to time, currently a larger than normal amount is on hand due to the recent construction of the county’s new courthouse and jail, and renovation of the courthouse annex. “When offices moved into the new courthouse and jail, furniture was standardized in order to be uniform, which left us with some surplus furniture,” said Procurement Director Donna Kukarola. “What surplus furniture other county departments and offices were unable to use is now in storage. As the county government no longer has a need for these items, we will be

Down the road, police also apprehended the passenger of the BMW, who was later identified as 26-year-old Enock Pierre Louis. Louis was caught while attempting to run up a steep hill and initially refused to identify himself, according to the police report. Officers found two driver’s licenses in his wallet with different names and a credit card belonging to a Texan man. The 19-year-old was found in possession of a backpack with 20 cell phones, 12 of which police said were reported stolen in the prior weeks. He was transported to North Fulton Hospital for possible injuries from his fall but was later released with a clean bill of health. Both suspects, from Florida, were arrested for obstruction. The 19-yearold was additionally charged with failure to obey traffic control devices, fleeing police, reckless driving and 12 counts of theft by receiving stolen prop-

They will have the opportunity to get items at very reasonable prices, and the county will no longer need to pay to store those items.” The sale will be held on Nov. 5 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at 843 Canton Highway in Cumming. In addition to furniture such as desks and chairs, a limited number of appliances will also be available at the sale. The sales at this event will be cash only, and those wishing to make a purchase will need to register at the sale as a buyer. For information about the furniture sale, call Forsyth County Procurement at 770-888-8872. erty. Louis was additionally charged with possession of fraudulent identification, financial transaction card theft and two counts of identity fraud. After the arrests, Tappan noticed that his K-9 companion was showing signs of distress. “The K-9 was walking real gingerly, and he would lay down on the ground and just did not want to get back up,” Gordon said. Mattis was rushed to the North Fulton Animal Emergency Hospital at 8 p.m., where doctors discovered that he had a lacerated liver, bruised lung and heavy internal bleeding. He had to undergo emergency surgery to treat the life-threatening injuries. “What saved the dog was that the dog fell on the suspect,” said Gordon. Three hours later, the Alpharetta Department of Public Safety posted on Facebook that Mattis pulled through his surgery and “is expected to make a full recovery and return to serving his community.” “Really is a miracle, made me feel a lot better. It was a rough couple of days for me,” Tappan said. “[Mattis] is my partner. He lives with me. He goes home with me. He plays with my kids, annoys my wife. He’s my best friend.”

Local business supports business of saving lives CUMMING, Ga. — Ingram Funeral Home & Crematory is investing back into the community in order to promote the saving of lives. Owner and President Jack Allen recognized an opportunity to assist local first responders through a marketing initiative that could help save lives. He and his staff recommend downloading the Vital ICE (In Case Of Emergency) app, from either the Apple App Store or Google Play, for smart phones and entering in their code: #2388. In the event of an emergency, first responders can use the Vital ICE app to retrieve the user’s vital information. This information can then be easily taken on the ambulance to the hospital, or sent directly to the hospital from the Vital ICE app, where ER staff can further access this critical information. Allen said time is of the essence when saving lives. Ingram Funeral Home & Crematory is making this potentially life-saving app available for free to download in the community as a way of showing their gratitude for allowing them to serve you. They ask that you download the app and fill in the information so that all are prepared in case of an emergency.

Healthy options plentiful

at superfood cafe

Kale Me Crazy opens in Roswell By CANDY WAYLOCK candy@northsidewoman.com ROSWELL, Ga. - It was a chance conversation with Starbucks founder Howard Schultz years ago that led Philip Wahl to his “sunset career.” Today, the recently retired executive with Georgia Pacific has traded selling paper products to restaurants to actually owning his own. Last April he opened superfood café and juice bar, Kale Me Crazy, in Roswell, where Wahl now spends his days espousing the benefits of clean eating. “Howard told me he loved being able to provide an ‘experience’ for the customer,” said Wahl, a native of Canada who moved to Milton 14 years ago. “After I retired I was looking for something I would enjoy and that would also be a positive for the community.” Wahl is the first “outside the Perimeter” franchise owner of Kale Me Crazy, a fast-growing business started in 2013 in Buckhead by the founder of the Yogli Mogli frozen yogurt chain. Currently there are eight Kale Me Crazy locations in the Atlanta area, and the success of his Roswell location has Wahl already eyeing more locations in North Fulton and Forsyth County. Don’t let the words “kale” throw you off, noted Wahl. While the popular, uber-nutritious cabbage is front and center in many sandwich wraps, salads and smoothies, the cafe’s menu is a vast array of all things healthy. Slide up to the counter and enjoy your choice of shots, including The Painkiller (ginger, lime, turmeric and raw honey) or the KMC (wheatgrass, ginger, cayenne and lemon). Or keep it simple with a straight shot of locally sourced wheatgrass, squeezed fresh daily, or simply a ginger shot loaded with essential nutrition. Try one of 12 juices, including tropical mixes with watermelon and pineapple, or get more adventurous with the Green Factor, a mix of kale, spinach, cucumber, celery, chard and apple. A dozen smoothies are also on the menu, which include the Recovery (banana, cherries, cashews, coconut, yogurt, almond milk, vegan protein) and Refresh (kale, celery apple, banana, mint, coconut meat, coconut milk, maple syrup). For a more substantial meal, Kale Me Crazy has an extensive menu of

salads including a quinoa bowl, Greek salad and, of course, a kale salad, as well as six varieties of wraps with choices including smoked salmon, chicken pesto, tuna and vegan. Wahl opened the Roswell location off Holcomb Bridge in April after carefully researching the demographics and business mix in the area. From day one, he knew he had hit upon a concept that was welcomed enthusiastically in the area. “We are surrounded by a healthy lifestyle [here] and were inundated with customers from the first day,” said Wahl, who noted his son, Brendan, works alongside him as a manager at the cafe. He was confident the superfood concept would draw millennials, but he was surprised at the wide range of ages and customers who are simply seeking a better alternative to the food they eat. “Eating clean is not for everyone, but I see more and more people interested and aware of what is in their food,” said Wahl.

A conversation with Wahl is a lesson on how he believes the food industry in general has let profits rule over health and sustainability, pointing to the documentaries and science behind the scene. At Kale Me Crazy, Wahl said everything is organic, GMO-free, made fresh that day, never fried and rarely frozen. In fact, the one small freezer in the back is filled only with items which must remain frozen per health code. For those who wish to take a health-

Wahl invested thousands on a coldpress juicer, as opposed to those which use heat which can kill off important nutrients and enzymes. Cold pressing fruits and vegetables also avoids adding oxygen which quickly breaks down the fruit and starts decomposition. Wahl describes Kale Me Crazy as his “sunset career,” and laughs when he starts adding up all the hours his new post-retirement venture requires. “I don’t think I’ve ever worked this hard in my life... and enjoyed it even more,” said Wahl.

North Fulton and Forsyth County residents, from left Dan Studenic, Dean Barnard, John Hanrahan, Eric Cluck and Ed Paladino competed at the UWW World Championships.

Alpharetta’s John Hanrahan: World champion

Local wrestler wins international title in Poland By JOE PARKER news@appenmediagroup.com ALPHARETTA, Ga. -- In 1976, 16-yearold John Hanrahan visited Poland for the first time as a junior national wrestler to compete in an international wrestling tournament. The country, then called the Polish People’s Republic, was under the grip of Soviet communism, and the young Hanrahan received his first taste of international competition as he and his fellow American teammates were instructed on how to conduct themselves in the communist country. Forty years later, Hanrahan returns from another trip to Poland, now a democratic nation, with the title of world champion. Alpharetta’s Hanrahan won gold in the 85 Kg division at the United Word Wrestling (UWW) Freestyle Veterans World Championships held in Walbrych, Poland on Oct. 7-9, completing a four match sweep and outscoring his opponents 27-0, including two wins over former world champions. Hanrahan said the title of world champion is the “culmination of a lot of hard work and dedication.” “It allows me to inspire others, es-

pecially given the fact that I work in the health and wellness industry, to reach their dreams.” With veteran wrestlers, all over the age of 35 representing 35 countries, the competition level was high at the tournament, and Hanrahan said his accomplishment of a world championship makes the title that much more meaningful. “It’s the highest level in the sport,” he said. “Getting through the competition without being scored on with this level of competition is something I’m very proud of.” After opening the tournament with a win in his first match, Hanrahan defeated a former Hungarian world champion in his second match, but was nearly disqualified before the match began. Hanrahan said he was taking in fresh air and fluids after his first match when he heard his name called over the loudspeakers being called for the next match. Hanrahan said he had to hustle down to the stage and change his singlet to the proper color. In the melee, Hanrahan was just seconds away from being disqualified. “Because I wasn’t able to prepare for the match like I normally would have,

Alpharetta’s John Hanrahan captured gold in the UWW World Championships in Poland Oct. 7-9. it kept me loose and that remained for the rest of the tournament.” After defeating one former world champion, Hanrahan faced the 10time world champion Willem Putter of South Africa in the gold medal match, a match he’d trained six months to enter. “I had a sense that it would come down to Putter and me,” Hanrahan said. “I had been game-planning my

match against him for six months.” “I’ve competed internationally for a while, and a lot of us have never seen him lose. He’s always the talk of the tournament and people talk about him as if he walks on water, so it made it just that much more of a challenge and that much more exciting to compete against him in a gold medal match.” Hanrahan’s strategy was to open up Putter’s strong, defensive-minded style. He did so through the match, earning himself the title of world champion with a 2-0 victory over the 10-time champion. Hanrahan said he hopes to use his title to help inspire the next generation of wrestlers through his Alpharetta-based company, www.privatetraining.com, and to continue to maintain a high-level of training to defend his title at the world championships in Bulgaria next year. Along with Hanrahan, three other local wrestlers from North Fulton and Forsyth County, dubbed the “Atlanta Five,” competed in the event. Alpharetta’s Ed Paladino took silver in the 69 Kg division, Dan Studenic placed fourth in the 69 Kg division and Dean Barnard of Cumming took fourth in the 85 Kg division. Eric Cluck was unable to compete due to medical reasons.

Local softball teams advance to second round of playoffs Lambert, Cambridge advance with blowout wins By JOE PARKER news@appenmediagroup.com NORTH FULTON, Ga. -- Last week saw the first round of the state softball playoffs with nine schools from North Fulton and Forsyth County competing in four classifications. Lambert, Cambridge and South Forsyth all advanced to the second round, which begin this week, with blowout wins. In Class 7A, all four Forsyth teams of Region 5-AAAAAAA made playoff appearances, and after the first round, three advanced. Lambert entered the playoffs 21-3 overall and claimed the Region 5-AAAAAAA championship with a 15-0 record in region play. The Longhorns hosted Lakeside DeKalb and dominated both games to win their first playoff series since 2013. Kassidy Krupit and Marissa Guimbarda both pitched complete games for the Longhorns who gave up just two hits throughout the two mercy -rule shortened games. Krupit threw a no-hitter in four innings in Game 1 and Guimbarda allowed just two hits in Game 2. The Longhorns offense had 29 hits, three home-runs over the two games, including an 11-run second inning in Game 2. Lambert will host Hillgrove this Wednesday in the second round. After a trip to the Elite 8 last season, South Forsyth also advanced to

the second round after not allowing Norcross a single hit in two games. The War Eagles outscored Norcross 24-0 as Katherine Huey threw a no-hitter in Game 1, and Huey and Emily Harris had a combined no-hitter in Game 2 as South’s bats cracked all night. South will take on the Region 3-AAAAAAA champions Kennesaw Mountain in the second round. West Forsyth needed three games to take down Brookwood in the first round, shutting out the Broncos in the final game to keep its season alive. West will take on Region 1 champions Lowndes in the second round. In 27 games, Region 7-AAAAAA champion Cambridge has outscored opponents 225-32. The Bears kept this dominance rolling in the first round with two mercy-rule wins over Douglas County. The Bears allowed a single hit over seven innings and scored 28 runs against Douglas County to advance to the second round where they will face Grovetown. Also in Class 6A, Chattahoochee compiled its first winning season and first playoff appearance under first year head coach Jeff Aiken. However, Hooch fell in three games to Northgate to end its season. Blessed Trinity, who advanced to the Elite 8 last season, saw its season come to an end with two losses to Central Carroll.

Zach Gibson passed for 201 yards and Johns Creek’s defense held Alpharetta to 250 total yards in the win.

Cambridge 28 Northview 7 Cambridge won its third straight game and improved to 5-1 in Region 7-AAAAAA competition with a win over Northview, which lost its sixth game of the season. Kaelin Byrd rushed for 166 of the Bears’ 233 ground yards. Bears’ quarterback Reed Martin was 8-15 passing for 135 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions. Reed also rushed for 60 yards and a touchdown.

BT dominated Chestatee to improve to 2-0 in region play as the Titans compiled 269 yards rushing, while its defense forced three turnovers and held Chestatee to 2-14 on third-down conversions. Steele Chambers rushed for 119 yards and a touchdown, and Drew Nichols and Elijah Green combined for 113 yards and two touchdowns. BT led 42-0 before Chestatee’s lone, fourth-quarter touchdown.

Fellowship Christian 42 Pinecrest 28 FCS remained unbeaten (7-0) with a win over last year’s Region 6-A champions, Pinecrest Academy. FCS broke a 14-14 tie in the final minute of the second half and never relinquished the lead. Pinecrest cut the lead to 35-28 early in the fourth, but FCS responded with another touchdown less than two minutes later and would go on to win by 14, and remain atop the Region 6-A subregion B standings.

King’s Ridge 22 St. Francis 6 Centennial 55 North Atlanta 7 Centennial dominated lowly North Atlanta to remain tied atop the Region 7-AAAAAA standings. Cal Dickie scored three touchdowns, Tyreke Smith scored two rushing touchdowns and Austin Williams returned a kickoff for a touch-

King’s Ridge used two second-half touchdowns to secure its win over St. Francis in Region 6-A subregion B play. King’s Ridge held a 7-6 lead after the first quarter, and that score would hold until scores from the Tigers’ Lawson Hill and Dwight Allen put the game out of reach for the Knights in the second half. King’s Ridge improved to 2-3 in region play, while St. Francis is 0-5 and will take on the two talented teams of Mt. Paran and Pinecrest Academy in its next two games.

Drug: Continued from Page 4 they’ve lived it.” Drug addiction is not unlike other diseases people have, Mills said. “The world has been so misinformed and fills the addicts with shame,” she said. “So much of being an addict is often out of their control.” And yet, addicts are often put into metaphorical boxes and are believed to look a certain way, Mills said. A lot of times, they don’t look any different

from the person we’re sitting beside in church, because they could be an addict, too. “You can be a functioning addict,” Mills said. “We think if we can dispel some of the mistruths about addiction, we might be able to get more people to come forward and get treatment.” A flyer for the event is one way the group is trying to raise awareness of the stigma, Mills said. The flyer shows a woman sporting tattoos of negative words like loser, hopeless, junkie, dirty and worthless. People are pointing at her. Kendra Turner, who will be speak-

ing at the summit, helped design the flyer. She is currently in the county’s drug court and wanted to help others avoid this path. “The tattoos on the arms reflect how an addict might feel about themselves,” Mills said. “Kendra said, ‘When you’re an addict it’s not just the fingers that are pointing at you that are thinking that. That’s what you think about yourself, as well.’” And when addicts feel badly about themselves, they may be more likely to continue the addiction, Mills said. “You might keep using to not feel it,” she said. “That’s what keeps you tied to

the drugs.” The speakers will start at 6:30 p.m. but the panel will be there early and stay later to answer questions one-onone. “It’s a way to get answers to questions and for parents to stay on top of their game,” Mills said. However even with all of this information in one place, Mills said it’s even more important to not start. “The key to winning in the battle against drugs is to never use them,” Mills said. “The key is always prevention. The only way to prevent is education.”
