4328 Abbotts Bridge Rd. (conveniently located 11 miles from Alpharetta)

JOHNS CREEK, Ga. — Police were dispatched after a man claimed a robber snatched $40 from him in a Kroger parking lot then drove away Nov. 12.

According to police, the 22-year-old victim dialed 911 as he was following the suspect down Medlock Bridge Road.

Officers met with the victim along East Jones Bridge Road near the Forum on Peachtree Parkway.

The victim said a man dressed in a grey hoodie walked up to him as he was carrying groceries to his car in the parking lot of a Kroger at 3000 Old Alabama Road and snatched the cash out of his hand. The suspect then ran to his car and drove away, the report stated. The victim gave chase and was able to catch up to the suspect’s vehicle after they entered Gwinnett County.

He said he pulled next to the suspect at a red light and demanded his money back.

The other driver complimented him on his driving skills then drove into the Forum plaza and tossed the money out the window, according to the report. The victim was not injured during the incident.

Police investigate claims of mail theft at residence JOHNS CREEK, Ga. — Police were dispatched to a home on Addison Lane where a resident reported her mail stolen Nov. 9.

According to the incident report, the 55-year-old homeowner told officers she’d recently moved into the residence and had the lock on her mailbox changed. She said when she checked her mailbox on Nov. 8, its door was open.

She said she didn’t realize anything irregular until she started getting identity theft notifications that her Shell gas card was used without her knowledge. She also hadn’t received her new Georgia driver’s license, the report stated. Police found small indentations on the outside of the mailbox near the latch that may have indicated it may have been jimmied open.

DUI & Drug arrests Brandon Kye Boggs, 37, of Pine Walk Drive, Alpharetta, was arrested Nov. 9 on Old Alabama Road for two counts of possession/purchase of schedule I & II controlled substance and possession of marijuana.

Jerry D. Underhill, 75, of Niblick Drive, Johns Creek, was arrested Nov. 11 on Barnwell Road for DUI, improper turning and duty to stop at an accident.

Johns Creek reaches milestone with Morton Road pocket park

By KATIE ANDERSON newsroom@appenmediagroup.com JOHNS CREEK, Ga. — Johns Creek residents have a new park, entirely of their own making.

The City of Johns Creek held a ribbon-cutting ceremony Nov. 18, marking the completion of the 4-acre Morton Road pocket park, the city’s first park it didn’t inherit from Fulton County.

“There’s a lot of things that have been completed, but they’ve been completed in our existing parks,” Mayor Mike Bodker said. “To create a new park from nothing, it’s pretty amazing.”

Johns Creek purchased the land from Georgia Power in 2015 and designed and constructed the park. The cost of the park was $2 million and was covered by a special Parks Bond approved by residents.

The pocket park is located on the north side of East Morton Road, just east of its intersection with State Bridge Road. Pocket parks are small parks, typically 4 acres or less. They are designed to serve nearby neighborhoods and tend to be left as green space with the possibility for playgrounds, limited facilities, and little or no parking.

Morton Road Park features a pavilion, picnic shelter, play structures, a multi-use path, a half basketball court and an open lawn. The multi-use path is rubber paved and wraps around most of the park. Families were already enjoying the park at the ribbon-cutting ceremony.

Children were playing on the playground and half basketball court.

Robby Newton, Johns Creek park manager, explained that the park is within a quarter of a mile of 12 homeowners associations and the goal was really to serve the surrounding community. Newton said that while Morton Road Park is small in size, he considers it to be more of a community park.

“The park is designed to draw people that walk, kids can ride their bikes to it,”

The pocket park is located on the north side of East Morton Road, just east of its intersection with State Bridge Road.

Newton said. “It’s kind of a destination for the walkers and a nice place where parents can take their kids, sit out at the pavilion and get a quiet moment while other kids are playing on the playground. So you know, it would be more aptly named a community park.”

Newton said the basketball court will need to be sealed and there is still landscaping to be done, but that none of the remaining work should interfere with patrons enjoying the park.

The city’s next park project will be the highly anticipated 195-acre Cauley Creek Park. Construction has already begun at the site and is set for completion in spring 2021.

Johns Creek City Council advances two roundabout projects

By KATIE ANDERSON newsroom@appenmediagroup.com JOHNS CREEK, Ga. — The Johns Creek City Council voted Nov. 16 to move forward with construction improvements at Bell Road at Cauley Creek Park.

Plans call for a single lane roundabout at the intersection of Bell Road and Cauley Creek Park and Old Homestead Trail.

The roundabout will include a turn into the new Cauley Creek Park. The project is estimated to cost around $929,845.

City Councilman Brian Weaver raised concerns that workers must coordinate construction with the other roundabout that is being placed at Rogers Circle South and Bell Road.

Assistant TSPLOST Manager and Project Manager Blane Soloman assured the council that they will try to keep as many lanes open and coordinate with the other projects, but there may be detours as necessary.

Construction is expected to begin in January and last nine months. Soloman explained that the lane will not be closed for the entirety of the project because most of the work will occur on the park side, leaving the existing lane open for a majority of the time.

The council also advanced with another project to place a roundabout at Barnwell Road and Rivermount Parkway.

KATIE ANDERSON/HERALD

Plans call for a single lane roundabout at the intersection of Bell Road and Cauley Creek Park and Old Homestead Trail.

The $1.1 million project is within the budget set for improvements along the Barnwell Road corridor.

Traffic analysis at the intersection of Barnwell Road and Rivermount Parkway indicated high vehicle speeds on Barnwell Road and insufficient sight distance

for drivers to make turns safely from Rivermount Parkway.

The city expects that a roundabout will provide safer travel at the intersection, decreasing the conflict points and lowering speeds along Barnwell Road.

Additionally, the roundabout operation

should help create gaps in traffic flow, allowing traffic entering and exiting the adjacent neighborhood entrances an opportunity to safely turn.

The city has two other projects within the corridor that are under construction and nearing completion — left turn lane improvements at Barnwell Elementary School and improvements at the Barnwell Road and Jones Bridge Road curve.

Council members said they would like to see evidence of improvements in the speeds and traffic patterns along the corridor after construction is complete. They said the report should include measures of the overall reduction in vehicle speeds for this and similar projects.

Assistant Public Works Director Brian O’Conner said that an evaluation to determine whether safety goals have been met can be performed after the projects are completed.

“We will take a look again at the corridor as a holistic view, and see how traffic has adjusted,” O’Conner said.

“We’ll wait a small amount of time, and then we will review the corridor and see how it has been impacted and if there’s anything else that we need to do.”

If approved at the next meeting, construction on the Barnwell at Rivermount roundabout is expected to begin in December and last nine months.

City Council passes CARES Act ordinance on split vote Businesses, households to receive assistance

By KATIE ANDERSON newsroom@appenmediagroup.com JOHNS CREEK, Ga. — The Johns Creek City Council finalized details Nov. 16 on how to distribute the $3 million the city received in federal coronavirus relief funds.

After weeks of discussions, the council voted 4-3 to distribute the CARES Act funds to support businesses who applied for aid with a flat rate grant that will be determined, in part, by the number who apply. The council set a cap of $10,000 on each business grant.

The measure also set aside $300,000 to provide direct aid to individuals and families hit hard by the pandemic. That money would be distributed to Johns Creek residents through established nonprofits in the city.

The decision will allow small to medium-sized, brick-and-mortar businesses that are licensed in Johns Creek to apply for grants. Qualifying businesses would be required to be in good standing and have proof that they were

in operation prior to the pandemic and have continued to remain open.

Over the past couple of weeks, council members had been leaning toward a tiered system that would provide the greatest relief to those businesses most directly impacted by the governor’s shutdown orders earlier this year.

However, some members of the council had proposed a flat rate to be distributed to all businesses that applied.

A tiered system, they argued, forced the city to pick winners and losers.

Councilman John Bradberry presented the council with an updated version of the business grant program that would allow for all businesses to apply for a flat rate.

That drew pushback from Councilwoman Erin Elwood who had proposed the tiered approach with Councilwoman Stephanie Endres. Elwood said the new proposal placed no cap on the grant amount to businesses, which prompted the council to set the $10,000 cap.

The council’s move to assist individuals and families also drew pushback.

The Johns Creek CARES Vulnerable Population Grant Program is intended to assist not-for-profit organizations in providing services to individuals that have

been hurt by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Councilman Chris Coughlin repeated his concerns with the program.

“I’m not saying that families don’t need assistance,” Coughlin said. “How do we justify picking these 100 versus the other 100, potentially thousand families that need assistance?”

Bradberry acknowledged Coughlin’s concerns, but he said it was better to help some families if they could.

“It’s really an effort to give some emergency assistance to those that are finding themselves on the precipice of falling into poverty,” Bradberry said.

“You can look at it as a way of hopefully preventing future losses and economic damage.”

Vulnerable Population Grants will be strictly limited to established non-profit organizations that serve Johns Creek residents. Individuals cannot directly apply for assistance from the city, but will be encouraged to connect with the nonprofits to receive help.

Funding will be used to assist residents with overdue rent and mortgage payments, utility assistance, food assistance, or other unforeseen financial and emergency needs directly related to the pandemic.

Councilman Lenny Zaprowski supported the ordinance saying he was proud of the council and city staff for working to create the program.

“It’s not perfect, but I think we’re trying to do the right thing,” Zaprowski said.

“We are taking every available dollar and we’re giving it out. We’re not holding any of this for anything else, so I’m proud of this aspect. I hope it does help.”

The final vote allows for a flat rate to businesses, drawing grants from $2.7 million of the city’s CARES Act allotment. The remaining $300,000 will be distributed in grants to local charities to help local individuals and families struggling in the pandemic.

Coughlin voted against the motion on the basis that distributing all the money to businesses would have a greater impact on all residents. Elwood and Endres also voted against the motion.

Local businesses in Johns Creek wishing to participate in the program must complete an online application on the city’s website, johnscreekga.gov/JCCares. Applications will be accepted until Dec. 3 and grants will be awarded until the funds are depleted. More information for the Vulnerable Population Grants will be posted in the coming days.

FAST charter school on track for 5-year renewal Fulton officials praise ‘strong start’

By CANDY WAYLOCK candy@appenmediagroup.com ROSWELL, Ga. — The Fulton Academy of Science and Technology charter school in Roswell is poised to earn another five-year extension on its charter after posting positive outcomes.

This month the Fulton County Board of Education accepted staff recommendation to renew the charter and will formally vote on the issue in December.

The extension will allow FAST to operate as an independent charter school through 2026.

FAST Principal Stan Beiner said he is optimistic about the school’s charter extension but noted there are still several steps to go.

“The Fulton School Board won’t officially vote on [the renewal] until December and we then go to the state,” Beiner said. “[But] it does look good since [Fulton] recommended a full five-year renewal.”

Charter schools are public schools operating under a contract, or charter, with the local school board. In exchange for flexibility from some board mandates,

the charter school agrees to academic performance at or above its peer public schools. The schools are open to all students in the district.

There are currently 10 independent charter schools in the Fulton School System, most in South Fulton. Amana Academy (K-8) in Alpharetta and FAST are the only charter schools in North Fulton.

In recommending renewal, district staff noted “FAST had a strong start in year one of its initial charter term, and has remained a strong performer” among schools in the Fulton County system.

FAST students have outperformed their peers across both district and state schools on the annual measure of performance, known as the College and Career Ready Performance Index, and on standardized testing.

In the recommendation report, district officials cited the school’s strong financial management, governance structure and community engagement as reasons for renewal. Traditionally, these are areas where charter schools have lagged.

The K-8 public charter school opened in 2016 initially with grades K-5, and grew to include the middle school grades over the next three years. The school’s founding was a grassroots effort by parents whose children previously attended a charter school which lost its charter and closed.

The parents were able to successfully hurdle the requirements necessary to establish FAST, with the goal of more parent control over the school operations and better relationships with the Fulton School System staff. Both issues were key factors in their previous school losing its charter.

Charter school earns STEM certification and accreditation The Fulton Academy of Science and Technology recently earned both accreditation and STEM Provider Certification by Cognia Global Accreditation Commission certifying the school’s high-level focus on science, technology engineering and math.

“School accreditation by Cognia provides FAST a nationally recognized mark of quality for our school,” Principal Stan Beiner said. “Becoming accredited was a major goal of FAST as a relatively new charter school. At the same time, we also applied for STEM certification.”

Conducting two accreditation reviews simultaneously was a challenge, he said, but it was worth it to have the school’s achievements validated.

The Roswell-based public charter school opened five years ago for grades kindergarten through fifth grade, and has since expanded to eighth grade. Its current enrollment is approximately 700 students.

Beiner said the school’s focus on STEM includes science classes every day using the hands-on FOSS Science curriculum, Singapore Math for its math curriculum, and a unique Innovation Hour/Genius Hour program in all grades.

“We are even more motivated now to build upon our reputation for innovation and creativity while serving a diverse population of children from over 50 nations,“ Beiner said.

To earn Cognia accreditation, a school also must implement a continuous process of improvement and submit to an internal and external review. Schools in good standing can maintain their accreditation for a fiveyear term.

Fulton Schools celebrates plunge in dropout rate

By CANDY WAYLOCK candy@appenmediagroup.com FULTON COUNTY, Ga. — Reducing the dropout rate in the Fulton County School System is a personal mission for Superintendent Mike Looney. It’s one he has held onto since joining the district in 2019.

“I was a high school dropout,” Looney admits. “It’s not that I couldn’t do it [it was just] life was in the way.”

One year after taking the reins of the Fulton School System, his directive to district leaders to slow the dropout rate is making an impact.

Last school year the number of students leaving without a diploma was nearly cut in half — from 1,216 dropouts in 2019 to 685 in 2020.

“This means 531 students did not step away from their future; they stepped into it,” said Chief Academic Officer Cliff Jones. “They all have names, and now they all have futures.

Jones said a four-part plan was developed in 2019 to reduce dropouts in the short and long term. Components include: • Implemented a data dashboard to identify potential student dropouts early before they were already heading for the exits.

• Used data and research to provide school leaders, specifically middle and high school graduation coaches, with focused training on creating dropout prevention programs in their schools.

• Formed a “drop out team” composed of school leaders from across the districts who met regularly to monitor the data, the training, the process and the progress.

• Established a “gate” that any student who wanted to drop out must pass through. The gate, Jones said, was the principal, who would help the student alleviate the barriers and find the support and resources to keep the student in school.

“We are proud to share that we have already seen significant progress,” Jones said. “[But] we do want to exercise caution in the ability to sustain this kind of growth, given the significant challenges brought on by the COVID pandemic.”

He noted remote instruction and other disruptions caused by the pandemic have made it more difficult to see students every day and remain in touch.

For his part, Looney said he understands why students seek other paths, but he is working to remove the barriers that keep them focused on an education.

“I have yet to meet a student that wants to drop out of high school,” Looney said. “What they are saying is ‘I just don’t know how to finish.’”

This has absolutely devastated a lot of businesses, but it has been good for others. It’s been a good year for us.

ALEX WHITNEY, owner, Alex Automotive 8 | Johns Creek Herald | November 26, 2020

Alex Automotive thriving amid pandemic Amid downturn in economy, owner hiring to meet demand

By JOE PARKER joe@appenmediagroup.com DULUTH, Ga. — Few businesses have been spared from hardships over the course of the COVID-19 pandemic.

At Alex Automotive, business is better than ever.

Located at 4328 Abbotts Bridge Road on the Duluth/Johns Creek border, the full-service automotive repair firm specializes in Mercedes-Benz, Porsche, BMW and Land Rover maintenance. It has seen unprecedented business over the last six months.

“In March and into part of April, we did see a dramatic drop [in business],” owner Alex Whitney said. “Then it was like we were busier than we’ve ever been.

I’ve staffed up to meet demand. This has absolutely devastated a lot of businesses, but it has been good for others. It’s been a good year for us.”

Whitney attributes the sharp increase in customers to many people working from home. That has allowed people to get car repairs and maintenance completed without being out a ride.

“I think it’s pretty much people saying, ‘While I’m home, I might as well go ahead get this work done,’” Whitney said.

Alex Automotive has seen “the spectrum” of cars needing service, from those who had to be towed into the shop due to lack of use while others are getting more frequent maintenance.

“We’ve seen people who have been driving much more now because they don’t want to be in a car with other people or use other modes of transpor-

tation, they just want to get in their own personal car to drive,” Whitney said.

To keep up with the influx, Whitney has hired on two new employees.

“For only having 10 employees, that’s a significant percentage,” he said.

Business did slow around the election, which Whitney says is the case each cycle, but he expects his company to be back in unprecedented territory in the coming weeks.

Though not as many people will be traveling this holiday season, part of the resurgence Whitney expects will be drivers gearing up their cars for road trips.

“People who are going to hit the road need to get their cars looked at, and now is the time to be thinking about getting their car ready for winter before winter gets here,” he said.

Whitney said any time a car is brought into his shop it undergoes a 90-point inspection, which can identify any issues or potential problems ahead of time.

“You want to address your battery before you go to start your car on a cold morning and you have a dead battery,” he said.

Whitney suggests bringing cars into the shop at least a week before any trip so there is time to address any issues or make any repairs. And regular maintenance is vital for the European luxury cars Alex Automotive specializes in keeping on the road.

“If you ignore what could have been a relatively inexpensive repair, it could end up being a very expensive fix,” Whitney said.

Alex Whitley stands with a classic Mercedes-Benz at his business, Alex Automotive. While most companies have been strained by the pandemic, Alex Automotive has seen a sharp increase in business since April.

Many older Americans heading into the holidays feeling depressed NAPSI — Many older Americans say they feel depressed—yet the majority of them are not planning to get help, according to a new national survey—though it could make a tremendous difference in their health and well-being.

With the onset of colder weather, fewer daylight hours, and the effect of the pandemic on holiday celebrations and traditions, more seniors than ever could be struggling with depression.

The GeneSight Mental Health Monitor reported that about two-thirds of adults 65 and older who are concerned they may be suffering from depression say they won’t seek treatment. That’s compared to fewer than half of adults over age 18. In addition, three in 10 of these older adults think “they can just snap out of it.”

“The ‚Äòpull yourself up by your bootstraps’ mindset and reluctance to talk about mental health may be preventing seniors from getting the help they need,” said Dr. Mark Pollack, chief medical officer of Myriad Neurosci-

ence, makers of the GeneSight test, a genetic measure that identifies potential gene-drug interactions for depression medication. “People seek treatment for conditions like heart disease, high blood pressure or diabetes. Depression is no different. It is an illness that can and should be treated.”

One GeneSight patient, Carmala Walgren, a 74-year-old resident of New York, agrees that depression should be treated regardless of age.

“There is such a stigma about depression among people my age,” said Walgren. “It is worth it to find treatment that helps you.”

Canceling holiday celebrations and the effect on mental health The pandemic is taking a toll on the mental health of older Americans. Nearly one in four people over age 65 said that the news about the pandemic has left them “feeling consumed with sadness.”

For those seniors who think they might have depression, the number climbs to

Bungalows & Cottages Independent Living Assisted Living Memory Care Village Park Milton 555 Wills Road Alpharetta, GA 30009 470.509.4557

Village Park Alpharetta 12300 Morris Road Alpharetta, GA 30005 678.740.3499

nearly 4 in 10. Concerns about COVID are also why more than one in three seniors worried about being depressed say they are “somewhat” or “very likely” to cancel holiday celebrations such as Thanksgiving.

Even as some consider canceling holiday festivities, isolation from friends and family remains a concern. Just under half of these seniors say they feel “isolated and disconnected from family,” compared with 28% of all respondents over age 65, and 24% of respondents over age 18.

Connecting can help with depression Parikshit Deshmukh, M.D., CEO and medical director at Balanced Wellbeing, LLC, specializes in geriatric psychiatry.

According to Dr. Deshmukh, families should make plans to connect virtually if they don’t feel comfortable about getting together in person. Further, caregivers should be vigilant in looking for the signs of depression in their older loved ones.

“It’s more important than ever to let

each other know we care and that we are not alone—even if it feels that way,” said Dr. Deshmukh. “Video calls might not be for everyone. Yet, if that’s the only way to stay in touch, we need to do it.”

And Dr. Deshmukh reminds seniors to talk to their doctors. “If your clinician recommends treatment, ask about the GeneSight test. The results can help them make decisions about medications to treat your depression.”

That’s just what Carmala Walgren’s doctor did. “The results I got from this personalized genetic test helped my doctor and me to finally find the medication that worked for my depression.

He told me that because I was covered by Medicare, there would be no cost for me to take the test.

“The GeneSight test made such a difference in my life,” added Walgren. “I don’t know where I would be without it, especially now.”

On that Most Dreaded of Diseases: Uncombable Hair Syndrome Brought to you by — Dr. Brent Taylor Premier Dermatology and Mohs Surgery of Atlanta This evening, I set to work planning to write an article that our local readers would find interDR. TAYLOR esting and informative and began writing about a skin cancer case that I recently treated. But as the days are getting colder and COVID is still in the air, I thought, wouldn’t it be nice have something fun and pleasant for a change? Which leads me to…. Uncombable Hair Syndrome.

Yes, uncombable hair syndrome is an actual disease. First off, my sincere apologies to anyone afflicted with this malady if I misunderstand any distress it may cause. My only exposure to this condition was to a single case in my residency, the details of which I hope will excuse me for any seeming lack of sympathy: A beautiful couple presented to clinic with the CUTEST child you ever seen. He was a delight, babbling and smiling and running amok trying to grab everything he shouldn’t have. At first glance, nothing appeared wrong. His arms were free of eczema. His moles looked normal.

He didn’t even seem to have a lick of lip licker’s dermatitis. Why was he in a dermatology clinic? Exasperated, his mom lamented, “I can’t comb his hair – you don’t understand it WON’T comb.”

She went on to explain. No matter the mousse, the hair spray, the shampoo or conditioner, his obstinate hair willfully sprung back into a tussled mishmash of hairs going in every direction.

These hairs had a mind of their own.

Their position was not random. Instead, a certain hair would always try to go backward. The next, always forward.

Push one in a certain direction, and it would spring back to the position that it preferred.

My attending physician exclaimed “your child has uncombable hair syndrome!”

Uncombable hair syndrome is a wellcharacterized medical condition. One can easily find information on the genes involved by turning to Wikipedia, but I strongly urge the reader to go to Google Image instead and type in “uncombable hair syndrome” and enjoy photos of the dandelion capped rascals running around with uncombable hair Several types of hair disorders are sometimes lumped together with uncombable hair syndrome but the classic disease occurs because the hair follicles have a notch or a triangular shape, and so the hair grows out with a ridge or a

groove resulting in a stiff hair that can only fall one way. The Latin name is pili trianguli et canaliculi, which, if you are a Latin scholar, perhaps means something. Children afflicted with this condition are typically towheaded with very light blonde to white hair.

To be a syndrome, a disease must have two or more features that occur together as a disease “complex.” In this case, the two primary features are the uncombable hair of the child and the frustration of the mother. Scientists still debate whether the smirking laughter of the father playing on his phone in the background constitutes a third feature of this disease. This would make the syndrome a triad.

Fortunately for our patient, his disease has an excellent prognosis. The hair of uncombable hair syndrome typically becomes uncombable early in childhood and normalizes in early adolescence, often at puberty. Our patient was otherwise completely healthy without any signs or markers of other dermatologic disease.

Given that our patient is a boy, my attending’s advice was simple: “keep his hair buzzed until he’s about 13 or so.”

“So you don’t have any treatment?!” said the mother.

“Well, I thought the reassurance that it should normalize in 10-11 years and that you could buzz the hair in the meantime is a good treatment plan,” said my attending.

The father laughed. The mother remained frustrated. The child’s hair remained uncombable.

Please note that this syndrome should not be confused with the “wont comb his hair” syndrome as displayed by my son, age 2 (see photo).

If you or someone you love suffers from uncombable hair syndrome, consider Premier Dermatology and Mohs Surgery of Atlanta. Dr. Brent Taylor is certified by the American Board of Dermatology, the American Board of Venous and Lymphatic Medicine and is a fellowship-trained Mohs surgeon and vein specialist. Kathryn Filipek, PA-C is a physician assistant with more than 15 years of dermatology experience and expertise in medical, surgical and cosmetic dermatology.

Milton piano virtuoso to showcase talent for good cause Rainwater to help benefit music therapy program

By JOE PARKER joe@appenmediagroup.com MILTON, Ga. — Michael Rainwater, a junior at Milton High School, will showcase his talents at piano on a televised stage to benefit a good cause this weekend. Rainwater was selected to perform in the Tower of Talent program that will premier Nov. 28 at 7 p.m. on 11Alive (WXIA-TV) benefitting the Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta’s Music Therapy Program.

Rainwater said he is thrilled to support the music therapy program, describing it as an “incredible organization.”

“You’re going to hear actual children’s stories who have been impacted by music, and it’s incredible to be a part of this larger-than-life event,” Rainwater said. “Seeing these stories and these kids who were helped by the program and had music inspire them, we really want to push that support. And with coronavirus, this is one of the few fundraising events they will have this year, so there is a big push to raise awareness.”

This year marks the fifth time Rainwater will perform in the Tower of Talent, and his start with the program came by chance.

Five years ago, Rainwater said he sat down to perform on a piano that was on display at Fry’s Electronics in Milton.

A woman who listened to him play was so impressed she contacted her friend

Michael Rainwater, a junior at Milton High School, will showcase his talents at piano in the Tower of Talent program that will premier Nov. 28 at 7 p.m. on 11Alive (WXIA-TV) benefitting the Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta’s Music Therapy Program. and colleague, the executive producer of Tower of Talent. Rainwater has performed each year since.

It won’t be the first time the 16year old will play on a grand stage.

Rainwater’s talents have led him to perform at Carnegie Hall, The Cobb Energy Center and other large venues.

He was inducted into the Tri-M Music Honor Society and has won first prize in the Crescendo International Piano Competition.

He also recently produced an album, “This is Piano,” that includes eight cover songs of popular music, which he hopes will break down misconceptions about the instrument.

“There are a lot of stereotypes around piano, it’s not just for classical music,” Rainwater said. “It can present things

in new ways. They are all cover songs, but people will be hearing them in new ways.”

That’s one draw that keeps Rainwater behind the keys.

“I’ve seen firsthand how people react to the things I’m doing, and it’s really inspiring,” he said. “Getting my music out there and letting people experience something maybe they’ve never heard before and hear new things, that’s what really drives me to spread more music. Access to music is something the world really needs, and that’s another reason I think Children’s [Healthcare of Atlanta] music therapy program is so important.”

The Tower of Talent program premiers Nov. 28 on 11Alive with additional showings Nov. 29 and Dec. 1 at 11 a.m.

Thanksgiving thoughts on food If my waistline is any indication, Thanksgiving is obviously my favorite holiday. And if this column gives you any indication I use drugs, I assure you I do not. Why would I do drugs when there JOE PARKER is beer?

Editor joe@appenmediagroup.com So, as you are recovering from your 4,000-calorie meal coma, or preparing for it, here are a few random thoughts on the center of the holiday, food and eating.

“Turkey butt bread” sounds a lot less appealing than stuffing/dressing.

Unless someone is preparing for a boxing/wrestling match, can they really be considered overweight?

If a smoothie is generally defined as blended fruit(s), could we consider ketchup a smoothie? If a soup is nothing more than a mixture of foodstuffs in mostly liquid, is a smoothie soup? Is ketchup soup?

True optimism is believing the hot dog you’ve purchased from a gas station roller doesn’t have other people’s spittle, phlegm and general nastiness on it.

nitely hitting the bottle hard on Thanksgiving.

Eating a sandwich for dessert sounds strange until there’s ice cream involved.

Avocadoes, certain fish species and some nuts are often labeled as “good fat.” I hope people describe me in the same way.

Do vegans eat animal crackers?

Oreos are vegan. That’s a statement, not a thought, but it is interesting anyway.

If we used the labeling system used for corn-on-the-cobb for other foods, we would have peach-off-the-tree, chickenwings-off-the-bird, honey-off-the-hive and vanilla-beans-out-of-the-pod ice cream.

Every saltwater fish you have ever eaten was brined.

The cook who coined the term meatloaf wasn’t very creative. And meatloaf is probably the most unappealing sounding Solution food name of them all.

I looked up the word “mashed” in a thesaurus and found a whole lot of new ways to describe that form of potatoes.

Drinking orange juice without pulp is like eating cottage cheese with no curds.

Almond milk suggests the existence of pistachio milk, which sounds delicious.

All food can be considered baby food, it’s just that it’s not really advisable to feed a baby most of it.

The term “cream cheese” is redundant. Eating an egg with mayonnaise on it is the egg equivalent of crunchy peanut butter.

If cut grass smelled like roasted garlic, I’d mow my law a lot more often.

Takeout food is taken out of a restaurant in a takeout container and eaten by taking out the food from the takeout container before we take out the takeout container when we take out the trash.

Eating sausage biscuits and gravy for breakfast is telling the world you will not be productive that day.

The first person who cracked open an oyster, saw what was inside and decided it looked like something he could eat must have been on the cusp of starvation.

The more you think about it, the less appetizing it sounds to order a “bucket” of chicken or popcorn.

Any liquid is a BBQ sauce if you put it on BBQ. Also, BBQ can be a verb, noun or adjective.

Eating mashed potatoes with squash sounds like someone dropped dinner.

You cannot convince me that Cheese Nips were not named by a giggling, 8-year-old boy.

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone.
