Police arrest suspect in clothing store theft ALPHARETTA, Ga. — Alpharetta police arrested a woman suspected of stealing $900 worth of clothing Oct. 24 from the Macy’s on North Point Circle.

The woman entered the store at 11 a.m. with her child in a stroller. A loss prevention officer said the woman walked around the store, placing several items of clothing on the stroller, before she entered a fitting room.

When she left the fitting room, the clothing was no longer on the stroller.

The loss prevention officer talked to the woman after she left the store without buying anything, and the woman willingly accompanied him. The loss prevention officer found the missing clothing in the lower basket of her stroller.

The woman was arrested for shoplifting.

The manager spoke with the man and obtained his identification. She then noticed a suspicious $371,000 wire transfer on his account and ultimately determined that the money was fraudulent.

The manager attempted to stall the man while police were summoned, but he became agitated and left.

The male suspect said he had been told by someone on Instagram to place $2,000 in the mailbox as part of an investment. A few minutes later, the man said he noticed he was blocked from accessing that Instagram account and realized he had been scammed.

Half of the money belonged to the woman. The two then returned to the mailbox to take the mail to photograph and report the incident.

Car window smashed, laptop missing from bag ALPHARETTA, Ga. — Alpharetta police are investigating an Oct. 25 incident in which a man’s car was burglarized while he was dining at the La Parrilla on North Main Street.

The man arrived at the restaurant at 7 p.m., and spent about an hour inside.

When he returned to his car, the driver’s side rear window of his SUV was busted. A black backpack was missing from the rear cargo area. The backpack had contained a laptop, passport, Canadian work visa, work-related paperwork and prescription Adderall.

Police said no other vehicles in the area suffered any damages.

Man has second thoughts about placing cash in mail Wallet left at work station ALPHARETTA, Ga. — Alpharetta police goes missing overnight are investigating an Oct. 20 incident where mail was removed from a mailbox by a man who claimed to have been scammed by someone on Instagram.

ALPHARETTA, Ga. — Alpharetta police are investigating an Oct. 26 incident where a man’s wallet was reportedly stolen from Buyer’s Protection Group on Alexander Drive.

The man left his wallet on his desk Oct. 23 before leaving work. When he

returned the next morning, it was gone.

Security footage showed cleaning staff working around the man’s desk that night, but police said that nothing on the video conclusively showed that the staff stole the wallet.

Credit card removed from man’s gym locker JOHNS CREEK, Ga. — A thief made off with a man’s credit card that was secured in his gym locker Oct. 22. Johns Creek police said the incident occurred at the LA Fitness on Medlock Bridge Road. The wallet containing the card had been locked in the locker.

The man noticed the card was missing once his credit card company alerted him the card had been used five times for a total of $2,000 across the Atlanta area.

Purchase were made at a Kroger, a gas station and three different Home Depots.

Cash, jewelry stolen in house burglary JOHNS CREEK, Ga. — Johns Creek police are investigating an Oct. 23 house burglary where $800 in cash and $200 in jewelry were stolen.

The couple, who lives on Willow View Circle, were out of town from Oct. 19-23.

When they came home the morning of Oct. 23, the husband noticed that the back glass door was shattered.

The man said he initially thought a storm may have broken the glass, but then he saw a briefcase on the floor with its contents strewn about.

Upstairs, the bedrooms were ransacked and several items were missing.

Roswell to roll out new garbage collection program

By JULIA GROCHOWSKI julia@appenmediagroup.com ROSWELL, Ga. — Garbage collection in Roswell will soon get a bit easier.

Starting in mid-November, the City of Roswell will implement a citywide semiautomatic curbside garbage collection program.

The program features an automatic system that lifts uniform containers and dumps garbage into waste trucks.

It is an expansion of a pilot program the City Council unanimously approved last year for select Roswell neighborhoods.

Most nearby communities already use similar technology, Environmental and Public Works Department Director Dan Skalsky said at the meeting last year.

The pilot program has demonstrated

This program will provide for a more efficient collection of household garbage in our community. We are committed to serving Roswell by keeping it beautiful and this is one of the ways we do it.”

Nicholas Pezzello Roswell Solid Waste Services manager a safer and more efficient collection of household garbage collection, said Com-

munity Relations Coordinator Darnisha Green.

The technology is expected to increase the health and safety of workers while maintaining, if not surpassing, the current garbage collection pace.

Each Roswell sanitation customer will receive a 96-gallon container for household garbage collection. Collection days will not change.

Garbage containers are expected to be delivered curbside to each home in mid-November. Residents should begin using city-provided containers on the next scheduled day of household garbage collection.

Residents from any of the four pilot program areas will continue to use the city-provided container.

Residents will be responsible for the care, proper use, safekeeping, damage and cleanliness of their containers.

Likewise, residents will be responsible for the proper disposal of old containers. The city is unable to recycle old containers because the materials are not recyclable.

“Staff is so excited to integrate this program citywide,” said Nicholas Pezzello, City of Roswell Solid Waste Services Manager. “This program will provide for a more efficient collection of household garbage in our community. We are committed to serving Roswell by keeping it beautiful and this is one of the ways we do it.”

Residential garbage pickup rates are $18 per month. The City Council voted earlier this year to increase that rate to $22 starting Jan. 1, 2019.

Alpharetta takes first step to greet telecoms with conditions

By PATRICK FOX pat@appenmediagroup.com ALPHARETTA, Ga. — Alpharetta has moved closer to protecting itself from legislation that could open up the city to placement of unwanted telecommunications equipment in its public right of ways.

The Alpharetta Planning Commission voted unanimously Nov. 1 to recommend a series of changes to the city’s Unified Development Code that gives telecom companies broader access to city right of ways while placing limits on how its equipment is deployed.

The City Council heard a first reading of the revised code Nov. 5 and is expected to consider it for adoption Nov. 12.

Planning Commission Chairman Francis Kung’U said as new federal laws address rapid changes in technology, cities must be mindful of how they react.

“There are a lot of changes that are occurring nationwide,” he said. “One of the things we need to recognize as a city is that there is no man-made law that is perfect. You can always amend it, adopt it, then follow the trend and make

improvements as you go.”

At a Planning Commission workshop held prior to its passage, Assistant City Attorney Scott Hastey said the purpose of the revised code was to accommodate a growing list of providers seeking to roll out 5G technology. He also said it is important Alpharetta act now before the Georgia Legislature acts for it.

“There’s a need to do it before the Legislature reconvenes, because we want to be able to demonstrate and show the Legislature that we’ve adopted a new ordinance [that’s] more inclusive, it has a greater opportunity for folks to come in here and deploy stuff,” Hastey said. “We want to be able to also show examples of deployment since we have adopted it.”

The Georgia Legislature convenes its 2019 session in January.

Even with the Planning Commission’s approval, the code revisions still face a vote before the Alpharetta City Council scheduled for later this month.

The move is seen as a pre-emptive action by the city to maintain some say in its own aesthetics. Earlier this year, Alpharetta, Milton, Johns Creek

There are a lot of changes that are occurring nationwide. One of the things we need to recognize as a city is that there is no manmade law that is perfect. You can always amend it, adopt it, then follow the trend and make improvements as you go.”

Francis Kung’U Planning Commission chairman and Roswell joined other municipalities throughout the state in passing measures protesting a bill in the Legislature that would have broadened the rights of telecom companies to place equipment in public right of ways within cities.

That bill never reached a final vote, but rumblings now are that it will be reintroduced to encourage deployment of 5G throughout the state.

“There’s some anticipation the Legislature may bring that back up again either in this session or in a future session,” Hastey said. “We like to be proactive in having ordinances in place that really facilitates the deployment of these facilities and be able to demonstrate that we’re a municipality that doesn’t need to be pre-empted from regulating these types of facilities and structures.”

The first part of the revisions identifies the types of structures that can be used for attaching wireless equipment.

For example, equipment can be attached to a street light or street light poles, but not to a pedestrian light.

It also clarifies how new equipment should be consistent with the aesthetics of surrounding structures.

One of the major changes calls for allowing the companies to use traffic signal poles for attachment of equipment. At the same time, language within the revisions prohibits attaching wireless equipment to traffic signal poles that are decorative.

Some of the downtown traffic signal poles have luminaires at the top and would not be available for attachment.

In cases where equipment, such as an antenna, is attached to a traffic pole, it will be located at the top of the post in a vertical alignment. Other provisions set limits on the size and appearance of equipment.

Still other revisions include an updated list of industries that can attach to structures in the right of way.

Right now, the code allows that right to telephone companies. The updated code would allow wireless carriers, third-party phone service providers and broadband providers.

City pursues alternate plan for Greenway’s missing link Council approves study for new path to border

By PATRICK FOX pat@appenmediagroup.com ALPHARETTA, Ga. — Alpharetta has mapped out a new strategy to close the final gap in the Big Creek Greenway.

City leaders awarded a design contract Oct. 15 to complete the last link of the popular trail north of Marconi Drive into Forsyth County. The new route sidesteps the nearby Golf Club of Georgia which the city had been in negotiations with for close to two years for rights to extend the trail through its property.

“This is now an alternative route that’s been identified that’s along Windward and avoids the golf course,” said City Councilman Jason Binder who serves as liaison to the city’s Parks and Recreation Department. “From the new survey, the new route will be the route that we are planning on using. That’s the one we’re going with.”

The Big Creek Greenway, a linear park featuring a 12-foot wide path along Big Creek, runs about eight miles from Roswell north to Alpharetta. Plans have been in the works for more than five years to extend the concrete trail farther

north up to the county line where it will connect with a trail – yet to be completed – in Forsyth County.

A year ago, Alpharetta approved a $407,000 contract with Pond & Co. for design work on the final 2.5-mile extension to complete its portion. This latest contract with Pond represents a change order of an additional $119,000 to complete the study using the new route.

The city is looking to have the extension project itself put out for bids sometime in April, according to Public Works Director Pete Sewczwicz.

Plans call for the path’s Alpharetta terminus at Union Hill Road, which will serve as the trail head.

Alpharetta has also been busy recently with other park initiatives.

At the same Oct. 15 meeting, the City Council approved $462,000 for turf replacement to the football field at North Park. Parks Director Morgan Rodgers said the current surface has become so compacted it is no longer safe for play.

The council also recently approved a final draft of the Wills Park Master Plan, which includes redesign of the layout and expansion of some of the park’s amenities.

Binder said some of the projects called for in the plan will occur in the future, but some can be addressed right

We identified some things that could be done right now to expand the dog park. Wacky World (children’s playground) is already budgeted for improvements, so that should be done probably next year.”

Jason Binder Alpharetta councilman away.

“We identified some things that could be done right now to expand the dog park,” he said. “Wacky World (children’s playground) is already budgeted for improvements, so that should be done probably next year.”

Some of the major changes called for in the plan include: • A dominant east-west walkway through the park that touches nearly all the amenities

• A renovation and expansion of the community center on the east side of the park • A gateway feature at the corner of Roswell Street and Old Milton • New outdoor basketball courts to the south of the community center, replacing those existing farther to the west • Expanding the size of the dog park at its current location • South of the dog park would be a play lawn and grove south of the dog park • Improved bleachers at and a playground near the ball parks However, the plan does call for removal of the park administrative building and the recreation center. Programs currently held at the rec center would move to the community center and the site would be converted to a passive nature area with a playground.

The city is also currently moving forward with plans for improvements at the Windward soccer complex.

In addition, Binder pointed out that work will continue this month in finalizing a plan for renovating the Wills Park Equestrian Center. The City Council

Tea fans, look no further. Put down your google searches for the exact water temperature or steeping time for your black, green, white or herbal teas.

I, a certified tea Julia Grochowski drinker, have figured out the secret to the Reporter julia@appenmediagroup.com art. I can help you brew the perfect cup of tea without memorizing any pesky numbers or measurements.

And if you want to enjoy the same, be sure to follow my steps exactly.

I will typically start my day by immediately making a beeline straight for the electric kettle, ground zero for me getting my caffeine fix, and with the best intentions, get some water boiling.

My next step, and this is the most crucial, is to not be there when the water is ready.

Do literally anything else – shower, go back to bed, cook breakfast, mow the lawn, do a 5K, track down your dog outside – just make sure you’re not there when the kettle pings, ‘I’m done.’

Only return once the water becomes lukewarm and unusable, a memory of the tea it could have been.

At that point, after mentally kicking yourself, get it started again. And, because everyone’s attention span is so short these days, immediately get caught up in something else again.

Maybe this time, come back a bit quicker than the first, as if we’ve learned something from the last round.

Yeah, right.

The water, again, isn’t hot at this stage. But it might still be warm and tempting enough to just pour it onto some tea leaves or a tea bag and call it a day.

But if you’re a tea connoisseur like myself, you know that’s not enough. You must stay strong and repeat this process at least once more in order to really get the most out of the tea.

At some point, I’ll finally catch the water at the prime time: right after boiling. All it takes from there is a quick pour, and you’re well on your way to the perfect cup.

(Forget about measuring out the tea leaves if you go loose leaf. Just feel in your heart the right amount and trust the stars to guide you.)

You might think that at this point the hardest part is over. All that’s left is for it to cool and to drink it.

But the next few minutes can make or break it.

Because at this stage, the tea is, theoretically, ready but still too hot to drink. (Unless, of course, you’re a dragon who cannot be killed by fire.)

And as everyone knows, there’s only two tea temperatures: scalding hot or might as well make it an iced tea.

And the window between those two stages, like the transition between summer and winter in Georgia, is mere seconds.

Maybe you’ve heard before about how the ideal temperature for tea mimics the same temperature as holding someone’s hand? If that holds true, I tend to return for my tea only after it reaches the same temperature as a corpse’s hand.

Well, there’s always the next cup.

Johns Creek woman discovers sister

By CARSON COOK carson@appenmediagroup.com JOHNS CREEK, Ga. — This summer Janine Dzyubanny, a resident of Johns Creek for 11 years, took a DNA test to learn about her medical history. She never expected she would find a sister.

Dzyubanny was born in Seoul, South Korea, and was abandoned on a street corner as an infant. She was adopted by a loving family in New Jersey and never felt a need to search for her birth family, but now that she has children of her own she wanted to be aware of any genetic health conditions.

Jennifer Frantz was born two years before Dzyubanny. She was adopted by a family in New York and now lives in Canton, Ga. “To know that we were both born in Seoul and that we’re 20 minutes away from each other here in Georgia is pretty amazing,” Dzyubanny said. “We could have been anywhere in the whole wide world.”

Frantz received her results from the 23andMe DNA test in January. Like Dzyubanny, she was mostly interested in the health information. Although the test identified some potential third cousins, she didn’t put much stock in the family

section of her results until June.

“All of a sudden I received an email.

‘We predict Janine Dzyubanny is your sister. You share 47.9 percent of your DNA,’” Frantz said.

The sisters connected over email and social media, and a few days later met in person. Initial nerves and awkwardness quickly faded away, and the pair hit it off like lifelong friends.

“We had so many weird coincidences and similarities,” Dzyubanny said. “It’s almost like it was meant to be.”

The geographic proximity was the beginning of remarkable coincidences in the sisters’ stories. As they compared their lives, the sisters realized they had several mutual acquaintances. Both were raised with older brothers, both are preschool teachers and both have pet Labradors. They moved to the Atlanta region around the same time, gave birth to daughters five months apart and were on vacation out of the country when they received their results.

“They’re so insignificant, but you add them up together and it makes this just big wow,” Dzyubanny said.

The two women said they were met with disbelief when they told their friends and family about their newfound sister. Frantz said everybody was excited

and supportive.

“I think everyone knew it was possible, but it’s been 42 years,” Dzyubanny said. “It’s been about half of our life, and we’d never had a sister. We had a world full of older brothers.”

Dzyubanny and Frantz were born in the 1970s, the peak of international adoption from South Korea. That decade 48,247 South Koreans were adopted, and more than a third, or 17,260 children, had been abandoned by their birth families.

Single motherhood and adoption are culturally frowned upon in South Korea leading to the high numbers of international adoption. In the second half of the 20th century, more than 100,000 children were adopted from South Korea to the United States.

Both said that growing up they felt fully integrated with their adopted family and never tried to connect their Korean relatives. They were curious, but never expected to find anything.

Now that they’ve discovered each other, they’re making up for lost time.

They are integrating their two families and starting an event planning business together, Lucky Penny Party Planners.

“It’s been like ‘let’s put on our seatbelts and just go,” Frantz said. “Even

Sisters Jennifer Frantz and Janine Dzyubanny reconnect after spending most of their lives not knowing the other existed.

though it’s been so quick and such a short period of time, it honestly feels like I’ve known her forever. There was never [awkwardness] except for the very first time we met.”

A couple lights candles in memory of David and Cecil Rosenthal, victims of the Tree of Life synagogue shooting, as part of the interfaith gathering at Congregation Gesher L’Torah Oct. 30. and women who were killed in the Tree of Life shooting while speakers read short biographies of the victims.

“It is extremely gratifying to see so much of our community and the depth and breadth of our community repre-

Doug Konkel, executive director of Gesher L’Torah, said at least a third of the attendees were not members of the congregation.

ALPHARETTA, Ga. — Community members across faiths gathered at Congregation Gesher L’Torah to mourn and show solidarity three days after in a mass shooting at the Tree of Life Synagogue in Pittsburgh.

The room was packed the night of Oct. 30 at the synagogue on Kimball Bridge Road, and hundreds more viewed the memorial on Facebook. Rabbi Michael Bernstein said the gathering served three purposes: to mourn, to remember and to show solidarity.

A gunman attacked Tree of Life during Shabbat morning services Oct. 27, killing 11 and injuring eight others.

Robert Gregory Bowers was arrested on the scene.

The Anti-Defamation League, a Jewish advocacy group, called the shooting the deadliest attack on the Jewish community in the United States.

At the Gesher L’Torah service, community members recited prayers, read poems and sang hymns of mourning and remembrance. In accordance with the Jewish tradition of Shiva, a candle was lit that will burn for seven days. Another 11 candles were lit for each of the men

who wanted to come out and show their support,” Konkel said.

Imam Arshad Anwar from the Roswell Community Mosque and the Rev. Sondra Jones from Cannon United Methodist, who serves alongside Bernstein as a Johns Creek chaplain, spoke at the interfaith gathering.

“The Muslim community sends their deepest condolences, prays for everyone to find a path toward healing and a path forward from this tragic time and stands with you against all forms of hate,” Answar said. “We pray that we in the continued unity among our communities are able to eradicate the toxic hate that people have for others because of their identity.”

In addition to the attack on the Jewish community, Bernstein recognized Maurice Stallard and Vickie Lee Jones, two black people who were shot Oct. 24 in a grocery store in Kentucky.

“They, like the 11 that we just remembered, died at the hands of hate, the same hate, the hate of a white supremacist, so we include them in our prayer,” he said.

Bernstein also said a prayer for the six Pittsburgh police officers who were

Synagogue: Continued from Page 12 injured while responding to the shooting. Members of the Johns Creek and Alpharetta Police attended the gathering and were met with a standing ovation from those assembled.

“I am deeply, deeply grateful for you and for brothers and sisters in law enforcement for taking care of our houses of worship,” Bernstein said. “We don’t take it for granted, even though we know in a perfect world we should be able to worship without any guards, without any weapons.”

“The depth of love and care from our law enforcement community is profound,” Sondra Jones said. “The depth of love from the interfaith community is profound. Hate will never win, evil will not prevail and love will always win.”

Another Jewish tradition calls for leaving stones on graves, often after holding the stone and thinking of a memory of the deceased. Bernstein asked attendees to take a stone and think of an action they could take to honor those who died in Pittsburgh. The stones will be made into a permanent memorial at the synagogue.

Bernstein encouraged community members to reach out to their Jewish friends and let them know they stand in solidarity. Those wishing to go further in their support can donate to funds for the families of the victims or to the Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society, he said.

HIAS is a nonprofit founded in 1881 that provides humanitarian aid to refugees of all nationalities and religions.

The Pittsburgh shooter had attacked the organization on social media.

Bernstein said that while the shooting was frightening, it also revealed the strength of the bonds that bind the community and presented an opportunity to work together to repair the world.

Great fall fishing news There’s lots exciting outdoor news of the fishing kind this week, so let’s jump right in and see what’s happening.

STEVE HUDSON Get Outside Georgia, aa4bw@comcast.net

Delayed Harvest trout season has begun!

Hear ye, hear ye!

Georgia’s “Delayed Harvest” trout season

is open!

Running from Nov. 1 through May 14 on sections of five Georgia streams, the “DH” season gives anglers the opportunity to experience good trout fishing during the colder months of late fall, winter and early spring.

Here’s how it works. Some streams which are too warm for trout during the summer can still become cool enough for trout during fall, winter and early spring. Recognizing that fact, fishery professionals designate and manage those waters for catch-and-release trout fishing through fall, winter and spring.

The “harvest” of the trout is delayed until warmer weather arrives in late spring – thus the name “Delayed Harvest.”

Georgia’s Delayed Harvest program currently includes portions of five streams: • Amicalola Creek from Steele Bridge Road (CR 192) downstream to the Ga. 53 bridge • Chattahoochee River from the mouth of Sope Creek downstream to US 41 • Chattooga River (Rabun County) from the mouth of Reed Creek downstream to the Ga. 28 bridge • Smith Creek in Unicoi State Park from below Unicoi Lake dam down-

stream to the park boundary • Toccoa River from 0.4 miles above Shallowford Bridge upstream to a point 450 feet upstream of the Sandy Bottom Canoe Access.

• Special regulations apply to Delayed Harvest waters during the DH season. You can find complete info at georgiawildlife.com, but here’s a summary: • Artificials only (that means no worms, crickets, Powerbait, or other “digestible” baits) • Strict catch-and-release (all fish caught must be immediately returned to the water) • Only single-hook lures can be used (lures with treble hooks are not permitted).

However, it’s okay to use multi-fly “dropper” rigs when fly fishing as long as each individual fly has just one hook.

Many of the anglers you meet on DH water will be fly fishing. Favorite flies include egg imitations such as Y2Ks or pink Sucker Spawn flies, San Juan Worms or Squirmy Worms, pink Sucker Spawn flies, and flashy streamers (minnow imitations) such as Woolly Buggers, the Rolex fly, or the Hudson Streamer.

Spin fishing enthusiasts often favor a Roostertail, a Mepps Spinner, or a white or pink curly-tailed grub-and-jig.

One great thing about DH fishing in Georgia is that you can be pretty sure that there are plenty of trout in the water. That makes DH waters a great place to hone your trout fishing skills or to introduce young anglers to trout fishing.

I’m already hearing reports of some great days on Georgia’s DH streams. I

The downtown community is discovering us.

It’s interesting to see all the people walking by, especially on weekday evenings and weekends.

City Center passes halfway mark for shop openings

By PATRICK FOX pat@appenmediagroup.com ALPHARETTA, Ga. — Four more clothing and gift boutiques opened in Alpharetta City Center in October, bringing the total to 12 new retail shops and restaurants in downtown.

The four openings mark a milestone in the development’s rollout as a residential and business hub for the city. The number of retailers and restaurants open at City Center is now about 50 percent, with the remaining businesses set to open in the coming weeks.

Through the first week of November, 13 shops and three restaurants were open or were within days of opening, according to Cherri Morris, president of Morris & Fellows, which heads the retail phase of the development.

As the doors open and the signs go up, pedestrian traffic has picked up throughout the 26-acre development in downtown.

“It just looks so beautiful,” Morris said. “We plan to have them all open by Thanksgiving.”

As more shops open, interest is increasing, Morris said.

“The downtown community is discovering us,” she said. “It’s interesting to see all the people walking by, especially on weekday evenings and weekends.”

In the newness of it all, Todd Bridges - owner of Kilwins City Center, a chocolate, fudge and ice cream shop - is a veteran. The shop, at 251 Market Street, was the first retail tenant to open two months ago.

“We still don’t have the foot traffic that we’re going to have,” Bridges said. “We see a nice little surge Thursday through Sunday.”

Bridges said he expects a steady flow of business once surrounding construction clears and more shops open.

“It’s going to be magical,” he said. “Just the fact that the word is getting out more and more every day, by social media, by word of mouth, by print. Every week it’s picked up.”

Kilwins, Bridges said, makes the best chocolate, fudge and ice cream on the planet.

“Seventy percent of what you see in the store, we make in the store, home-made,” he said.

The fudge, for instance, is made the same way as

Customers line up for an order of fudge, chocolate and ice cream at Kilwins City Center, the first retail shop to open at the development. Owner Todd Bridges says traffic has picked up as more stores are opening. in the 1800s on Mackinac Island in Northern Michigan. It’s cooked in a copper kettle, then poured onto a marble slab table. Double Dark Chocolate and Sea Salt are the most popular in the early going, Bridges said.

New slate of openings The new openings from October include The Ballog, Hemline, The Pink Valise and Southern Local.

The Ballog, an artisans’ market carrying local, socially conscious and independent brands, is at 235 Market St. The store, which evolved from a blog highlighting the work of Atlanta artists, is owned by Kathy Edwards and her two daughters.

“Thanks to the overwhelming response from both the customers and artisans, we decided to make The Ballog a mainstay in the community,” said Lindsey Edwards, co-owner.

The Ballog is named after the owners’ mother and grandmother, Mary Ballog.

“My grandmother was always teaching us something new, whether it was painting, baking, fishing, or how to polka,” Edwards said. “She was a major inspiration to us all, leaving a legacy that you can create un-

der any circumstances, and it’s never too late to start.”

Hemline, now open at 231 Market St., is the second location for owner Wanda Munger after opening her first Hemline in Vinings. The brand originated in New Orleans’ Historic French Market as the brainchild of Brigitte Holthausen, whose talent for bringing together an exotic assortment of products set her apart from the other vendors.

“We have customers from Alpharetta and Roswell who love to shop with us and wish we were closer,” said Munger. “As we were looking at options for a second store, Alpharetta was definitely a consideration but we wanted to be in a boutique environment. Once we met with Cheri and saw the vision and plans for the center, we knew this was where we were supposed to be.”

Southern Local – a boutique offering men’s, women’s, and plus-size apparel as well as accessories, gifts, and jewelry – has opened at 214 Market St. This is the second location of Southern Local following the success of their first store that opened in 2016 in Woodstock.

Retail for a cause The Pink Valise, now open at 315 Market St., carries contemporary and designer-brand clothing in a broad range of sizes and prices.

“With sizes ranging from XS-3X, the Pink Valise has a little something for everyone,” said co-owner Tricia Fiveash. She and her sister, who opened the store’s first location in Thomasville, Georgia, three years ago, are committed to the store’s tag line: “a passion of fashion and a cure for cancer.”

“We give a portion of our profits each year to an organization that supports research or supports those battling cancer in some way,” said Amanda Smith, co-owner and breast cancer survivor. “We also ask our customers to place names of friends and family members battling cancer in a vase in our store. We then draw a name in November and December and send the person a check to help relieve their burden and put a smile on their face.”

City Center also includes the corporate headquarters of DataScan, and Voysey, a neighborhood of 42 singlefamily homes under development by Hedgewood Homes.

Atlanta still among most affordable big cities Metro Atlantans have been groaning the last few years about the lack of affordable housing.

Well folks, at least for the time being, it seems folks in other big cities have more to groan about.

Geoff smith Two online money Assurance Financial, gsmith@lendtheway.com management sites, Nerdwallet and Walletwyse, have both named Atlanta as a top-10 affordable big city. Each has its own criteria for making the list, but each also put Atlanta right at the top.

When I first read the article on the Curbed.com site, I was a bit skeptical. I’ve been settling on the idea that Atlanta had become too expensive to be on these types of lists. Our city is widely accepted as one of the most successful business cities in the country. We have the eighth most Fortune 1,000 companies headquartered here, we have a very diverse mix of industries, we have almost 250,000 college students ready to become part of our workforce, and we are creating nearly 60,000 new jobs every year. We got this way really because of our weather (no hurricanes, floods or earthquakes), our airport and yes, our affordability.

When I was growing up in Roswell, compared to today, there really wasn’t a lot to do in the metro Atlanta area. If you were an adult in the suburbs and went out for a good time, you drove to your favorite restaurant with a bar in it. And that restaurant was by itself, meaning, if you wanted to go to another one afterwards, you’d have to get back in your car and drive there. If you went out in Atlanta, you went to major venues like the Fox Theater, the Omni or AtlantaFulton County Stadium. Since then, local governments, our business community and other non-profit organizations have spent big on infrastructure to develop entertainment districts through-

When I was growing up in Roswell, compared to today, there really wasn’t a lot to do in the metro Atlanta area. out the metro area. And today you could hop from city to city and have something new and different to do every weekend of the year.

It’s added some serious style to our city. No longer do you move to Atlanta just because of the practicality of good jobs, affordable housing and easy access to an airport for travel. You also get to be near the Beltline, or near Canton Street in Roswell, Avalon in Alpharetta, or downtown Duluth or Suwanee. It has created centers of high-demand properties that have driven up prices for those properties.

Couple this renaissance with the low unemployment and scarcity of large swaths of undeveloped land that has driven up the costs of building a new home, and prices have gone up further.

We’ve been averaging about a 5 percent increase in home values for the last 10 years. I just assumed that the good folks at the Metro Atlanta Chamber of Commerce were having to lean more on our city’s diverse and exciting qualify of life over our affordability to bring in new businesses. But apparently, they can still pitch both.

Nerdwallet actually took the fastest growing metro areas in the country and ranked them by affordability. It ranked Atlanta as No. 1. Its formula was fairly simple. It looked at the average principal and interest mortgage payment as a percentage of the median monthly income.

They said at $62,613, Atlantans had the fifth-highest household income of the

cities in the report with an average P&I payment of $950. We were just ahead of Houston, Dallas, Washington D.C., Austin and Tampa.

Walletwyse used its Affordability Index to rank its cities. It wasn’t exactly clear how they arrived at their index numbers, but Atlanta got the Gold Award, putting it just ahead of Minneapolis, Houston, Chicago and Tampa. It cited low-priced housing combined with a thriving, bona-fide big city as a reason for its high ranking. It also cited its “massive network of buses, trains and highways.”

That was another head-turner for me. But hey, sometimes you don’t have to be truly amazing, you just have to

be better than everyone else. And if you look at all the businesses that keep moving here and staying here, apparently we are. Cheers.

We’ve all heard that it’s not what you know, but who you know. Understanding how to successfully run a small business is important, but continually expanding your network of contacts and connections can dramatically improve

your results.

Building a network with knowledgeable and trusted individuals should be an ongoing priority for every small business owner. This doesn’t mean that you should try to collect as many business cards as possible from strangers at networking events. What it does mean is that you should continually engage with contacts, both old and new, to seek advice and input on chal-

Anyone can go to a networking event and come back with a handful of business cards. Small business owners who participate in these types of events should engage in meaningful conversations with contacts they have predetermined to potentially have insight and advice that will help them.

With social media sites like LinkedIn, many small business owners have accelerated their ability to connect with new contacts. Staying active on business-to-business social media sites can also help you make more valuable connections.

Building and expanding your network the right way will exponentially expand your access to ideas, suggestions, tips and techniques for running and growing your small business.

The staff of Pyramid Family Behavioral Healthcare welcomes guests to their open house Oct. 26.

GYN Services Include • Adolescent gynecology • Annual well woman exams • Bleeding abnormalities

JOHNS CREEK, Ga. — Pyramid Family Behavioral Healthcare, a new outpatient center in Johns Creek, aims to expand mental healthcare in the North Atlanta suburbs.

While one can find outpatient programs for physical therapy or substance abuse, Family Behavioral Healthcare is the first mental health intensive outpatient program in Atlanta, according to Executive Director Tom Connell.

“We wanted to bring the services out to the suburbs where it’s more accessible and try to be preventative so people don’t need to go to the hospital,” he said.

The center will serve adolescents and adults with a focus on mood disorders, such as anxiety and depression.

“Our program is very person centric.

We really want to work with families and build those bridges,” Primary Counselor Shelley Northrup said.

The Family Behavioral Healthcare

staff is dedicated to work with family, friends, work, school and other healthcare providers to better coordinate treatment.

“We want to have clients involved in their healing process,” Connell said.

“We want the family involved too . . .

It’s a daunting, scary task for families.

We want to provide them with guidance and help them navigate the complicated behavioral health system.”

Between the group rooms and offices, the facility includes a large open space that will be used for community education events like expert speakers and documentary screenings.

“The idea is to generate discussion, reduce stigma and really integrate with the community,” Connell said. “We want to help people understand that [mental health disorders are] pretty common and not be afraid to seek treatment.”

Pyramid Family Behavioral Healthcare opens Nov. 13 at 11138 State Bridge Road, Suite 100A with an assessment center in Suite 100B.

Keep the holiday pounds off with these healthy snacks

By Elyse Sartor Registered Dietitian Nutritionist, Northside Hospital With the holidays fast approaching, it can be quite convenient to nibble on those delectable chocolates, sugar cookies and sweet pies that may fill your office. But if you’re not careful, those unwanted pounds may sneak up on you.

Respecting your hunger by eating healthy snacks when you are hungry will keep you energetic and focused during the work day — and can help ward off the unwanted weight.

A few things to consider when snacking: • Plan your snacks ahead of time and bring healthy options to work.

• Snack when you are hungry — don’t put off eating until you are overhungry.

• Avoid eating out of boredom or when you’re distracted.

• Steer clear of sugary snacks, refined grains, and fried snacks. These won’t help you feel full as quickly, but will add lots of calories.

Your snacks should aim to include protein, healthy fat, and fiber because these will help you feel more full and satisfied. See your doctor or dietitian for personalized calorie recommendations, but in general, less active individuals should keep snacks under 200 calories and more active individuals may need 200-300 calories at snacks for extra fuel.

Here are five healthy snacks that you can have handy at your desk while at work. Otherwise grab those extra sweet treats at your own risk.

Hummus and carrot sticks Hummus and carrot sticks are a great snack to enjoy. Traditional hummus is made from ground chickpeas, sesame seed paste, garlic, lemon, and olive oil. It has protein and healthy fat and heart-healthy soluble fiber. Four tablespoons of hummus, is only about 140 calories. If you add eight baby carrots that is only about 30 calories and adds beta-carotene and potassium. This well-balanced combination can be a very satisfying snack.

Apples and nut butter Apples are rich in fiber. There are many different varieties of apples out there, so you are sure to find one that you like. There are many variations of nut and seed butters on the market, too.

You have traditional peanut butter, but there are also almond and sunflower seeds butters, too. Be sure to look for unsweetened nut or seed butters with-

out hidden added sugars.

Seasonal fresh fruit and nuts Pair one serving of fruit with one ounce of your favorite nuts or seeds for an easy, simple snack that requires almost no prep. Every type of nut or seed provides a slightly different mix of healthy fats, protein, vitamins, and minerals — so vary your choices for the most complete mix of nutrients. Try almonds for vitamin E and fiber, pistachios for copper and fiber, or dry roasted Valencia peanuts for extra magnesium.

Keep snack interesting by switching your fruit with the seasons. In July in Georgia, figs, blueberries and peaches make great local, seasonal snacks.

Fresh veggies and dip For a crunch at snack time, consider sliced veggies and dip. Carrot, zucchini, cucumber and celery sticks paired with a healthy dip make for a tasty healthy snack. These types of vegetables are low in calories, but loaded with vitamins and minerals. Good dips to try are bean dips, guacamole, or yogurt-based dips.

Trail mix Another fantastic snack to keep on hand is trail mix. Most mixes contain some combination of nuts and dried fruit. You should look for mixes that contain nuts, seeds, and unsweetened dried fruit and don’t include candy pieces. Because trail mixes do not need refrigeration, you can easily stash them at your desk. Remember that trail mixes can sometimes be a little high in calories, so if you are trying to lose weight, consider portioning individual snack bags to avoid overeating.

There are many variations that you can try for healthy snacking while you’re at work. Don’t be a vending machine victim.

Smile makeover: reinvent your smile A smile makeover is the process of improving the appearance of the smile through one or more cosmetic dentistry procedures, such as: • Dental Veneers • Ceramic Bonding • Tooth Implants • Teeth Whitening

Some of the components taken into consideration include your facial appearance, skin tone, hair color, teeth (color, width, length, shape and tooth display), gum tissue and lips. Smile makeovers are performed for many reasons and customized according to your unique considerations.

What is it that you like or dislike about your smile or your teeth? Some aspects of your smile that your cosmetic dentist will review with you and that could be improved include the following: Tooth Color: Silver or amalgam dental fillings can be replaced with natural, tooth-colored composite restorations, while teeth whitening can improve the color of stained or dulled teeth. Tooth color and shading are important considerations during the evaluation of and preparation for various procedures, including porcelain veneers, crowns, bridges, composite bonding and dental implants.

When considering the color of your teeth, keep in mind that dark or discolored teeth may suggest an aged mouth.

A well-shaped smile comprised of bright, white teeth lends to a youthful appearance. The shade your dentist selects for teeth whitening and veneers is carefully evaluated with special consideration given to the tone and color of your face and hair. Cosmetic dentists are skilled at finding the right balance between providing you with a brighter, whiter smile and maintaining a natural tooth color.

Alignment and Spacing: Teeth that are crooked, overlapping or have gaps between them can be straightened and aligned when necessary through orthodontics or Invisalign and improved with veneers.

Missing Teeth: One or more missing teeth can negatively affect the appearance of your smile – as well as affect your bite and increase your risk for tooth decay – making replacement an integral part of oral health and facial esthetics. Missing teeth can be replaced

by dental implants, bridges or partial dentures.

Harmony and Balance: Uneven, chipped and cracked teeth can be cosmetically bonded for an improved appearance, and a gummy smile can be re-contoured to help improve the overall look of the smile.

Fuller Lips, Smile and Cheeks: An unshapely or aging face can be improved or rejuvenated with certain procedures in the smile makeover category, including orthodontics and/or oral maxillofacial surgery.

A cosmetic dentist will work closely with you to develop a treatment plan designed to achieve exactly what you want from your makeover. This treatment plan may consist of many cosmetic and functionally restorative procedures, potentially including teeth whitening, composite bonding, veneers, dental crowns, orthodontics (braces), oral maxillofacial surgery and gummy smile reduction.

Aesthetic Components of a Smile Makeover In addition to the color, alignment and balance of your teeth in the aesthetic zone of your smile (the section of upper and lower teeth that show when you smile), there are several attributes of your teeth and smile that your cosmetic dentist will evaluate with you when planning your makeover. These include: Tooth Length: Long teeth lend a youthful appearance. Aging produces wear and tear that often results in shorter teeth, and a gummy smile also can make teeth appear shorter. A treatment for shorter teeth may include reshaping and lengthening the two front central teeth with composite bonding or porcelain veneers. If you have a gummy smile, your cosmetic dentist may provide treatment to modify the gum line and lengthen the appearance of the teeth using laser dentistry procedures. You may also be referred to a periodontist for crown lengthening if necessary.

Teeth lengthening may also impact your overall facial appearance. For example, shapely, long, square teeth on a round-faced individual can provide a slimming effect.

Smile Line: The smile line is an imaginary line that follows the edges of your upper teeth from side to side, which ideally should be the same as the curve of your lower lip when you smile.

This standard point of reference may be used to help determine how long your new teeth should be.

Tooth Proportions: As a cosmetic dentist we will examine your teeth to determine if they are in correct proportion with each other. Most people recognize a pleasing smile as one in which the two

What is the best cancer treatment?

By Jonathan Stegall, MD If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with cancer, you have surely consulted Dr. Google to see which treatments are available.

Even a 10 minute “consult” reveals a myriad of theories, approaches, and philosophies.

These range from the usual surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation options, to dietary strategies, nutritional supplements, and esDr. Stegall sential oils. Who should you believe? Who is right, and who is wrong?

My belief, as a physician who deals with cancer every day in my office, is that many of these approaches have merit. The

key is to be sure that any treatment we consider has scientific evidence supporting its use, as well as its safety. And of course it should be compatible with other treatments in the protocol.

Integrative oncology believes that there are valuable treatments across the spectrum, from modern medicine to ancient healing traditions. Treatments such as surgery and chemotherapy have the most evidence for their use, so they should ideally be included whenever possible. However, other interventions such as intravenous vitamin C, nutrition, supplementation, and stress reduction, to name a few, are valuable as well. The synergy we see with a truly integrative approach is outstanding.

I encourage you to do your research, and discuss these options with your doctor.

Assisted living with passion and purpose We had a chance to catch up with the President of Brickmont Senior Living, Cheryl Kochensparger, to find out how Brickmont Senior Living at Milton came to be. Here’s what Cheryl had to say.

WHAT SPARKED YOUR INTEREST IN SENIOR LIVING? My brother and I were searching for the perfect senior living setting for my mother.

We wanted certain amenities with a nicely appointed feel, larger living suites and an overall elegant, vibrant atmosphere that was affordable. We really couldn’t find anything that fit the bill.

WHAT IS IT ABOUT BRICKMONT THAT SETS IT APART FROM THE OTHERS? In our research, we found that pricing for assisted living and memory care was really confusing and never really consistent. Most pricing is dependent upon “levels of care” which can always be increased. We have all inclusive pricing which gives our residents and families peace of mind. Additionally, we had been in the hotel business for many years we knew we could build and create a beautiful environment with a strong focus on customer service and hire experienced professionals to ensure the best care, activities and dining; all for an incredibly affordable price. We are a smaller company and that allows us to be really nimble and accommodating – we want to be the community of choice.

IS THERE ANYTHING NEW ON THE HORIZON WITH BRICKMONT SENIOR LIVING? We have all kinds of exciting things in the works. We continue to add to our resident engagement activities which is truly exciting and we have a new community under construction in Woodstock, Georgia that’s scheduled to open late summer of this year. Honestly, we have experienced such a great reception to our Milton community that we felt compelled to offer this kind of value in other locations.

Basal Cell Carcinoma

By Dr. Brent Taylor Premier Dermatology and Mohs Surgery of Atlanta Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is an abnormal growth or lesion arising from the skins basal layer, the deepest layer of the epidermis (the outer layer of the skin). Basal cell carcinoma is the most common form of skin cancer. When a person is overexposed to UVB radiation, it damages the body’s natural repair system, which causes basal cell carcinomas to grow.

These tend to be slow-growing tumors and rarely metastasize (spread) to other organ systems.

What does basal cell carcinoma look like?

Basal cell carcinomas can present in a number of different ways: • raised pink or pearly white bump with a pearly edge and small, visible blood vessels • pigmented bumps that look like moles with a pearly edge • a sore that continuously heals and re-opens • flat scaly scar with a waxy appearance and blurred edges Despite the different appearances of the cancer, they all tend to bleed with little or no cause. Eighty-five percent of basal cell carcinomas occur on the face and neck since these are areas that are most exposed to the sun.

What are the risk factors for developing a basal cell carcinoma?

The BIG cause: Both long term sun exposure over the course of a lifetime as well as intense sun exposure (sunburn) combined to cause sun damaged skin that may lead to basal cell carcinoma. Most basal cell carcinoma Both long-term sun exposure over your lifetime and occasional extended, intense exposure (typically leading to sunburn) combine to cause damage that can lead to BCC. Almost all BCCs occur on parts of the body excessively exposed to the sun — especially the face, ears, neck, scalp, shoulders, and back. On rare occasions, however, tumors develop on unexposed areas.

In a few cases, contact with arsenic, exposure to radiation, open sores that resist healing, chronic inflammatory

skin conditions, and complications of burns, scars, infections, vaccinations, or even tattoos are contributing factors.

It is not possible to pinpoint a precise, single cause for a specific tumor, especially one found on a sun-protectDr. Taylor ed area of the body or in an extremely young individual.

Other risk factors for developing a basal cell carcinoma include: having fair skin, sun exposure, age (most skin cancers occur after age 50), exposure to ultraviolet radiation (as in tanning beds) and therapeutic radiation given to treat an unrelated health issue.

Diagnosing basal cell carcinoma requires a biopsy — either excisional, where the entire tumor is removed along with some of the surrounding tissue, or incisional, where only a part of the tumor is removed (used primarily for large lesions).

Treatments for basal cell carcinoma include: • Cryosurgery — Some basal cell carcinomas respond to cryosurgery, where liquid nitrogen is used to freeze off the tumor.

• Curettage and Desiccation — The preferred method of dermatologists, this treatment involves using a small metal instrument (called a curette) to scrape out the tumor along with an application of an electric current into the tissue to kill off any remaining cancer cells.

• Mohs Micrographic Surgery — The preferred method for large tumors, Mohs Micrographic Surgery combines removal of cancerous tissue with microscopic review while the surgery takes place. By mapping the diseased tissue layer by layer, less healthy skin is damaged when removing the tumor.

• Prescription Medicated Creams — These creams can be applied at home. They stimulate the body’s natural immune system over the course of weeks.

• Radiation Therapy — Radiation therapy is used for difficult-to-treat tumors, either because of their location, severity or persistence.

• Surgical Excision — In this treatment the tumor is surgically removed and stitched up.

The new strong

NorthFulton.com | Alpharetta-Roswell Herald | November 8, 2018 | 29

Gaining control over your fitness and your life For many people, aging equals lower metabolism, weight gain and less energy for activities you enjoy. This is directly related to loss of lean muscle.

While you can’t avoid getting older, there are some steps you can take to stop the process of muscle loss and start rebuilding healthy, lean muscle.

It doesn’t matter how old you are or whether you haven’t exercised in years.

You can still regain lean muscle that improves your shape and increases your metabolism.

Our downfall is inactivity. Too much sitting is the new smoking. Our bodies were meant to be active, stay active and be strong.

When we stop doing meaningful exercise, we lose ground.

What is meaningful exercise?

A critical component of stimulating the improvements we seek from exercise is the achievement of momentary muscular failure in each exercise performed.

With steady-state activities, like walking on a treadmill or biking, there is no mo-

mentary muscular failure involved.

Unless activity is demanding, it is practically worthless from an exercise perspective.

However, if an activity is sufficiently demanding to take the targeted muscles to momentary failure, then it qualifies as meaningful exercise. Muscle failure should be viewed as a means of signaling the body that it needs to get stronger in order to meet the demands being placed upon it.

What is the SuperSlow Zone solution?

The SuperSlow Zone protocol is the original and genuine slow-motion, personal strength training workout.

The exercise protocol has been proven successful in both building muscle and increasing resting metabolism, thus allowing the body to burn more calories at rest.

SuperSlow Zone provides a safe and effective workout in a short amount of time so that you can get in, get out, and get on with your busy life!

Smile: Continued from Page 26 central front teeth are dominant and have a width-to-length ratio of 4-to-5.

This proportion guides the length and width of other teeth in the aesthetic zone so that the smile line appears balanced.

Maintaining Your Results Cosmetic dentistry procedures require regular oral hygiene care and may require maintenance over time.

For example, teeth whitening must be repeated on occasion in order to maintain brightness. Porcelain veneers may chip or break off and need replacement.

Permanent composite bonding may stain and require enhancement or replacement. Dental crowns typically require replacement after 10 to 15 years. Gummy

smile improvements may also require enhancement over time.

Country Club of Roswell donates $40,000 to local causes

By JULIA GROCHOWSKI julia@appenmediagroup.com ROSWELL, Ga. — Two local charities are getting some help this year from Roswell’s tennis community.

The Country Club of Roswell recently donated $40,000 to two local charities.

Special Pops Tennis, a Roswell-based adaptive tennis program for children and adults with intellectual disabilities, received $30,000. Another $10,000 went to StandUp For Kids, a nonprofit dedicated to end the cycle of youth homelessness through empowerment.

The funds came from Country Club of Roswell’s annual Tennis Pro-Am Invitational, held every year to benefit local charities.

This year was the 40th anniversary of the event. Since it was created in 1978, the Tennis Pro-Am Invitational has raised over $1 million for local charities.

It’s the second largest tennis program in the state and was awarded the 2017

Tennis Event of the Year by the Georgia Professional Tennis Association. It regularly draws in tennis professionals from across the state, said Pete Callahan, board member of Special Pops Tennis and Country Club of Roswell.

The charities benefiting from the invitational have varied over the years, but Special Pops Tennis and StandUp for Kids have been the designated charities for the past three years.

“We look for local charities where we can really see where the money is going,” Callahan said. “In the case of Special Pops, it’s a tennis organization that brings the sport of tennis to the special needs community.”

Special Pops Tennis has 16 training sites across the city that train 650 athletes each week. The group holds a Fall Classic where about 150 athletes come from out of state to join the group for the largest adaptive tennis event in the nation, Callahan said.

The second benefit charity, StandUp

Pete Callahan Board member of Special Pops Tennis and Country Club of Roswell For Kids, is a mentoring program for atrisk and homeless youths.

Several local high schools, including Cambridge, Centennial, Independence, Johns Creek, North Springs, Roswell and Chattahoochee, have all partnered with StandUp For Kids.

About 75 percent of students experiencing homelessness drop out of school, said Julie Palmer, director of resource development for StandUp For Kids. Stu-

dents at these schools who go through the StandUp For Kids Program have achieved a 96 percent graduation rate and stay-in-school rate, she added.

“Many have moved on to college or technical school and have become selfsupportive, productive citizens,” Palmer said.

Northview graduate raises funds for manga series JOHNS CREEK, Ga. — “Boundless,” a manga-inspired comic book produced by Northview High School graduate Robert Wollstein, has started a Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign for the series.

Wollstein, a 30-year-old with autism spectrum disorder, began work on the project that would become “Boundless” in 2013. Since then, he brought to the project local illustrator Venisha Penland, head writer Leo Langford and backup writer and fight choreographer John Miller.

“We designed everything from the ground up: the characters, what we want to do, the hard magic system, the plot, the enemies,” Wollstein. “Now we’re

certain of where we want to go from here.”

In June, the team led a table reading with professional actors at the Atlanta Central Library where the public gave feedback on the project. Now, the creators are trying to raise $8,000 to fund the creation of a physical book.

“We really need the money to make something that’s unique, something that’s been missing in anime and manga which is proper diversity,” Wollstein said.

The story features a black protagonist, Karasu, and mixed-race heroine,

Mura, a level of diversity rare in mangastyle stories, Wollstein said. The plot engages with social issues like freedom of speech, corruption and tradition as the super-powered characters fight against the evil force called Arch.

Like other Kickstarters, early donors receive rewards such as their name featured in the book, stickers and a T-shirt. “[To the people who donate] I would say thank you so much,” Wollstein said.

“Thank you for being the first ones to support it.”

Roswell High School teacher receives national recognition

By JULIA GROCHOWSKI julia@appenmediagroup.com ROSWELL, Ga. — One of Roswell High School’s beloved teachers has joined some elite company.

Christi Chilton, an honors and AP chemistry teacher, has been selected for the University of Chicago’s Outstanding Educator Award, which recognizes teachers nationwide each year for their abilities to transform lives.

Chilton has been teaching for over 17 years, 13 at Roswell High School. In addition to honors and AP chemistry, Chilton sponsors four student organizations. She has coached track and cross country in the past.

Each year, members of the incoming freshmen class at the University of Chicago are asked to nominate a teacher who has inspired, helped and influenced them.

“We receive letters back from hundreds of students, inspired by teachers who have changed the course of their lives, who taught them to re-imagine texts, to delve deeper into problem-solving, and to think beyond the borders of the classroom in the pursuit of their own education,” said James Nondorf, dean of Admissions and Financial Aid at the University of Chicago.

Chilton was nominated by Cassie Manrique, a graduate of Roswell High School’s class of 2018. Chilton taught Manrique honors chemistry in her sophomore

year and AP chemistry in her junior year.

Manrique said she plans to study biochemistry on a

pre-medical track at the University of Chicago.

“I nominated Ms. Chilton because of her commitment to her students,” Manrique said. “She inspired me with her constant passion for the material she taught… Ms. Chilton shares her love of chemistry with her students and inspired me to explore beyond the coursework. She constantly challenges her students with in-class problems meant to reinforce what we just learned, as well as actual AP problems to better prepare students.”

She said Chilton would often go the extra mile to help students after school and even on weekends.

“I became a teacher to try to make a difference and encourage STEM education,” Chilton said. “I know that many students do not come to high school with a love of science, and I try to encourage and foster that in them. There is such beauty and application in chemistry and I hope I can make them see that, even if only in a small way.”

Chilton has a masters of education in secondary science education from Georgia State University. “[Chilton] has mastered the ability create a fun and engaging learning environment while simultaneously holding them to high academic expectations,” Principal Robert Shaw said. “Ultimately, students want to feel like they are a part of something special. Mrs. Chilton has created that class culture and, while she works her students hard, I am not surprised that they value and appreciate her as much as they do.”

Local 8th graders selected as REACH scholars

By CANDY WAYLOCK candy@appenmediagroup.com

NORTH FULTON, Ga. – Three 8th grade students from area middle schools are on the path to a $10,000 college scholarship, provided they maintain good grades and conduct until graduation.

Matthew Atiogbe from Hopewell Middle School, and Allison Herrera and Tai Hutchins from Holcomb Bridge Middle School join five other Fulton School System students selected as REACH Georgia scholars for 2018.

During a signing ceremony Oct. 24, the eight students signed a pledge to maintain a “C” average in core courses, have good attendance and good behav-

ior, engage in activities to prepare for college, graduate from high school with a diploma and enroll in a Georgia HOPEeligible post-secondary institution.

Parents were also required to sign a pledge, promising to support their child on their academic path.

In return, the students will receive a $10,000 scholarship, funded through private donations at the state and local level.

The Fulton Education Foundation has played a large role in funding the REACH program for Fulton School System students.

REACH, which stands for Realizing Educational Achievement Can Happen, is an initiative of Gov. Nathan Deal and

provides needs-based scholarships to increase the number of students attending college.

The program has grown from five participating school districts in 2012 to 134 school districts and nearly 1,200 scholars this year. The goal is to expand REACH to all 180 Georgia school systems by 2020, serving over 3,000 students.

The Fulton School District began participating in the REACH program in 2014, and has selected 36 scholars in the past four years. Of those, 13 attend schools in North Fulton.

REACH Scholars are first nominated by school staff, including principals, counselors or the superintendent, and then are invited to complete the applica-

tion. Eligible students are then interviewed by the REACH student selection committee in their school district, which makes the final selection.

The program’s success over the past six years has been exceptional, REACH officials say.

“Since the program’s launch in 2012, all REACH Scholars are in good standing and eligible to receive their scholarships upon graduation,” said Walt Rabon, media relations specialist for the REACH program.

He noted of the two groups of REACH scholars who have reached their senior year in high school, all graduated, and 34 of 35 went on to college. One student went directly into the workforce.

Plans for new Crabapple Middle School unveiled Facility still on track to open in summer of 2021

By CANDY WAYLOCK candy@appenmediagroup.com ROSWELL, Ga. – The Crabapple Middle School community got their first glimpse of their new school building scheduled to open off Woodstock Road in Roswell in the summer of 2021.

At a meeting Oct. 29, the project’s architects walked the audience through the site plan, building interior, safety features and plans for transportation.

The replacement school was originally designed to be built on the current site of Crabapple Middle off Crabapple Road in Roswell. But construction logistics, as well as the availability of the better parcel of land, changed the school system’s decision.

Doug Carey, director of Capital Planning for Fulton Schools, said the new site, less than two miles away from the school’s current location, solves many logistical problems. Chief among those problems was not having to build a new school while the old building was being demolished and while students were on the campus.

Even with the change in location one

year into the process, the school will still open in August 2021 as planned. Carey said not having to build around the student schedule allows construction six days a week.

He said the system is also trying it’s best to maximize green space but is limited on the building location because of a creek which runs along the top edge of the property. For this reason, the building is being tucked into the southernmost edge of the site, about 50 feet from a residential boundary.

“We are trying to disturb as little as possible and refrain from cutting down as few trees as we can,” Carey said Carey. He said as much natural vegetation as possible will be left in the buffer area between the school property and the adjacent homes.

Additionally, lights will be situated to confine illumination to the property, and the service entrance for deliveries is situated in the back of the building.

While some community members expressed concern about traffic off heavily traveled Woodstock Road, school officials explained they are working with Roswell city officials on a transportation plan.

Fulton Board of Education member Katha Stuart confirmed “the City of Roswell is fully engaged in the process” to ensure all safety measures are in place when the school opens.

Legally, the school system is unable to make improvements on property it does not own, but district officials have made several traffic recommendations to Roswell planners.

When completed, the new Crabapple Middle School will be the most modern middle school concept in the system, with all the updated safety and aesthetic features. It will likely be well under capacity as well. The school is being built for 1,200 students; the current enrollment is below 950.

Stuart said any decisions about changing attendance zones will be made closer to the opening of the school.

Crabapple Middle School opened in 1983, and had originally been slated for a new addition to bring the school up to par with other middle schools. But Fulton School officials determined the cost of renovations made a complete rebuild a better financial option.

The project is funded through the Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax (SPLOST).

NORTH ATLANTA’S HOT TOPICS Fulton schools post gains in college/career-ready test scores ON PODCAST View the chart of 2018 CCRPI

By CANDY WAYLOCK candy@appenmediagroup.com

DECRIMINALIZE MARIJUANA? ALPHARETTA & WHAT’S NEXT? ELECTED OFFICIALS & SOCIAL MEDIA

NORTH FULTON, Ga. – The Fulton County School System earned a B- average on the state’s annual college and career-ready report card in 2018, up from a C+ last year.

Test scores, released last week by the Georgia Department of Education, also indicate the district continues to make gains in reducing the number of schools deemed failing.

The newly revised College and Career Ready Performance Index (CCRPI) provides an evaluation tool for public schools across the state. Schools are evaluated on a 100 point scale based on a number of factors, including content mastery, progress, closing gaps and graduation rates.

Overall, the scores for Fulton County Schools exceeded the state at all levels.

The 2018 high school score of 82.2 had the largest difference, averaging nearly 7 points above the state’s score of 75.3.

Elementary and middle school scores for Fulton were 80.6 and 80, respectively, compared to scores for the state of 77.8 and 76.2.

In all, 21 schools in North Fulton posted a score of 90 or above. Those in-

clude (elementary) Abbotts Hill, Amana Charter, Barnwell, Crabapple Crossing Creek View Dolvin Findley Oaks, Lake Windward, Shakerag State Bridge Crossing elementary schools; (middle schools) Amana Charter, Hopewell, Northwestern, Taylor Road, River Trail, and Webb Bridge middle schools; (high schools) Alpharetta, Cambridge, Chattahoochee, Johns Creek, Milton and Northview.

No school in North Fulton scored below 60 – the state’s failing mark.

First implemented in 2012 as part of the No Child Left Behind mandate, the CCRPI was reformatted in 2017 under new federal education legislation, Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA).

ESSA requires all districts to develop a “statewide accountability system” that provides information on how well schools are performing. Georgia’s CCRPI, with some modifications, was approved by the U.S. Department of Education this year.

The primary change was to simplify the pieces of data used in the scoring; cutting out about half the previous indicators.

GDOE officials said the 2018 CCRPI results are the first to use the new calculation, so comparisons between these results and previous years is difficult.

“The 2018 results are the new baseline moving forward for CCRPI, [however] districts do still have several data points that remain the same and can be used to track trends,” said Meghan Frick, spokeswoman for the GDOE. She added those data points include performance on the state assessments (Georgia Milestones) as well as graduation rates.

Moving forward, State School Superintendent Richard Woods said he intends to work with the state Legislature to reduce the weight of test scores in the CCRPI, as well as move away from a 100-point scale.

“We [made] improvements to the CCRPI, and I’m proud of that work,” Woods said. “But we can’t stop there.

I believe strongly that the current 100-point scale vastly oversimplifies the complicated factors that influence school quality. The public deserves a wider and deeper measurement of performance.”

Alpharetta secures postseason berth; Blessed Trinity remains undefeated

By JOE PARKER joe@appenmediagroup.com Alpharetta 41, Cambridge 21 Alpharetta’s matchup Friday night was a must win for a playoff berth, and the Raiders left no doubt by downing Cambridge at home. With their win and Northview’s loss to Centennial, the Raiders secured the Region 7-AAAAAA No. 3 seed for the state playoffs.

Alpharetta opened the scoring with an 8-yard rushing score from Kent Cherry and intercepted a pass on Cambridge’s first offensive possession.

Sophomore Matthew Ashe’s field goal extended the lead to 10-0 late in the first quarter.

Cambridge failed to find first down yardage on a fake field goal but cut the lead with a touchdown on their next offensive possession.

The score remained 10-7 after the Bears missed a 41-yard field goal as the second quarter ended.

Alpharetta recovered a fumble on the opening kickoff of the second half, and Ashe hit his second field goal of the game.

Raiders’ quarterback Will Gerdes connected with Robbie Ruppel and threw another score late in the third quarter to extend the Raiders’ lead to 27-7.

Alpharetta sophomore Jaden Slocum intercepted the first of his two picks on the night late in the third to set up Gerdes’ third touchdown pass.

Fellow Raiders quarterback Bradley Rowlinson had a 43-yard rush to put the gap at 41-7 midway through the final period.

While Cambridge added two touchdowns in the final four minutes, Alpharetta’s lead proved insurmountable.

Alpharetta will go on the road against Sequoyah in the first round of the state playoffs Friday.

Friday’s loss closes out the season for Cambridge who needed a victory and a Northview win over Centennial to secure the No. 4 seed. The Bears went 3-7 overall and 3-5 in region play this year.

Blessed Trinity 42, White County 7 Blessed Trinity completed an undefeated regular season by downing White County at home Friday night. The Titans entered the game with the Region 7-AAAA title in hand having clinched the championship last Friday.

The Titans’ win was powered by twotouchdown performances from multiple starters.

Running back Steele Chambers had rushing scores of 25 and 57 yards, quarterback Jake Smith had two passing touchdowns to Ryan Davis and Ryan

Dupont, and Davis threw a 12-yard score to Dupont.

BT opened a 35-0 halftime lead and had another impressive defensive performance. White County’s only touchdown came with two minutes remaining against the Titans’ backups.

The Titans surrendered just 90 points in 10 regular season games.

The Titans (10-0, 6-0) will look to continue their state title repeat run in the first round of the playoffs Friday at home against the No. 4 seed from Region 6-AAAA. Roswell 34, Etowah 10 Roswell completed an undefeated (5-0) region record Friday night. The Hornets downed Etowah in the regular season finale. Roswell secured the Region 4-AAAAAAA title Oct. 26 against Woodstock.

Much like their contest against Woodstock, the game remained close until the Hornets pulled away in the fourth quarter.

Roswell tied the game at 10-all in the second quarter with a field goal from Caden Long, and that score held until the third period.

The Hornets recovered an Etowah fumble and returned it for a touchdown, and quarterback Ethan Roberts rushed in for his second touchdown to put the score at 27-10 with under five minutes remaining. A Roswell pick-six iced the game with three minutes left.

Roswell (9-1, 5-0) now waits to see which team it will host in the first round of the playoffs. Roswell will be matched up with the Class 7A at-large bid, determined by the team with the highest power rating who did not secure a playoff berth through its region standings.

Centennial 38, Northview 28 Centennial dashed Northview’s playoff hopes Friday night by downing the Titans at home in the regular season finale. The Knights had already secured the No. 2 seed from Region 7-AAAAAA. The matchup was shaping up to be a shootout at the half.

Centennial muffed the opening kickoff to set up a touchdown rush from Northview’s Travis Buchanan. Centennial’s Cal Dickie tied the game with the first of his three rushing scores midway through the opening period.

Each team then exchanged blows with four touchdowns scored in the final three minutes of the second quarter.

Northview quarterback Beau Lark had his second touchdown of the game to put the Titans up 21-7. Centennial responded with two touchdowns, a Dickie

Northview’s Will Caylor busted off a 60-yard touchdown run with 39 second remaining in the period, but the Knights knotted the game again with a 65-yard Brosmer touchdown to Rekevian Mathis.

Dickie’s third rushing score midway through the third was the final touchdown of the game. Dickie had to line up as quarterback for the final 15 minutes of the game after Brosmer, the state leader in passing yards in Class 6A, went down with an apparent leg injury and did not return.

With the Knights leading by seven, Northview converted a fourth down near midfield. However, Lark was intercepted by Centennial’s Kevon Angry in the end zone.

The Knights put the game away with a field goal from Jordan Barbas with two minutes remaining.

Centennial will host Allatoona in the first round of the playoffs.

While Northview’s season came to an end with their loss, the Titans solidified their turnaround from last season’s 2-8 mark by compiling a 5-5 record.

North Atlanta 46, Chattahoochee 41 Chattahoochee’s frustrating season ended Friday night with a loss to North Atlanta at home. The Cougars failed to win a game this year, the program’s first 0-10 season.

Hooch battled back from a 28-14 deficit in the third quarter with long rushes from quarterback Damon Stewart and running back Max Webb. The Cougars then took their first lead of the game, 35-34, on the first play of the fourth with a Jordan Palmer touchdown reception.

North Atlanta responded quickly to reclaim the lead and extended the margin to 46-35 on a 70-yard rushing touchdown with three minutes remaining.

Hooch’s Jordan Coleman had a touchdown reception to cut the lead to 46-41 a minute later, but North Atlanta recovered the onside kick to hold on for the win.

Fishing: Continued from Page 15 hope you can get out there and enjoy the fun too!

Get involved – stock some trout!

This year, the Georgia Department of Natural Resources will offer several opportunities for you and the family to help stock trout in some of the state’s DH streams. These volunteer-assisted stocking events are a blast and give folks like you and me a chance for some hands-on trout stocking experience. It is an incredible amount of fun!

As it happens, two volunteer stocking events are already scheduled at the Whitewater Unit of the Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area. The first is Thursday, Nov. 8, at 2 p.m.; the second is Tuesday, Nov. 20, at 11 a.m.

“We will need eager fish-toters to show up in waders with 5-gallon buckets to meet in the parking lot at Whitewater Creek,” said Georgia DNR fisheries biologist Hunter Roop.

What about fishing after stocking is done? Absolutely!

“Everyone is encouraged to bring along their fishing gear to enjoy some pre-Thanksgiving DH trouting action once the stocking is complete,” Hunter said.

And if you’re new to the sport, you’ll probably find plenty of experienced anglers there to help you learn the ropes – uh, lines – of fishing for Georgia’s DH

trout.

Make a trout fly at Tie A Fly Day! Not long ago, I had the pleasure of meeting many of you at the first “Tie A Fly Day” at Alpharetta Outfitters. That exciting event gave folks of all ages the opportunity to personally make a trout fly, and more than 30 excited folks (from 7 to 70!) dropped by to see how much fun it is to create your own fishing flies.

In fact, it was so much fun that we’re going to do it again!

The next Tie A Fly Day is set for Saturday, Nov. 10, again at Alpharetta Outfitters (79 South Main Street in Alpharetta). From 11 a.m. till 3 p.m., I’ll be there to help you (or your kids or grandkids) make your first fly.

This is a drop-in event and is firstcome, first served. The tying itself takes about a half hour, and parents will need to stay with children. No reservations are required, but if the table is full you might have to wait a few minutes for the next round.

I think it’s safe to say that Tie A Fly Day is fun for everybody -- adults and youth, moms and dads, kids and grandkids. It’s fun for me, too, because I get to see how excited folks become when they discover that they really can make their own fishing flies. All tools, tying supplies and instructional materials are provided; all you need to bring is excitement about learning something new… and maybe a fly box in which to put that new fly that you have tied.

For more info, call Alpharetta Outfitters at 678-762-0027.

Greenway: Continued from Page 6 will hold a workshop on the item this month, and he expects a final draft could be adopted by the end of the month.

The city has set aside $250,000 in matching funds for private groups to partner with the city for improvements at the center. Top on the list so far is adding another ring, repairing some of the barn stalls, improving the covered arena and maintenance shed.

Binder said he welcomes instances in which private groups partner with the city on parks initiatives, and he expects local groups will become more active in such ventures.

The city has already partnered with Envision Alpharetta to create Brewable, a coffee shop training model for intellectually challenged adults at the Alpharetta Community Center in Wills Park, with the goal of creating an atmosphere in which disabled young adults may train for future employment.

In return for the use of the space, the city will receive a free renovation of the lobby area at the community center.

The city is working with haste to put into service the park land it has purchased over the past few years, Binder said.

“I can’t stress enough that those parks belong to the community, and the best way to get those utilized is having them enhanced and developed by the community, and the partnerships are doing that,” he said.

Reader Advisory: The National Trade Association we belong to has purchased the following classifieds. Determining the value of their service or product is advised by this publication.

In order to avoid misunderstandings, some advertisers do not offer employment but rather supply the readers with manuals, directories and other materials designed to help their clients establish mail order selling and other businesses at home. Under NO circumstance should you send any money in advance or give the client your checking, license identification or credit card numbers. Also beware of ads that claim to guarantee loans regardless of credit and note that if a credit repair company does business only over the phone it’s illegal to request any money before delivering its service.
