ALPHARETTA, Ga. — Police arrested a Cumming man Aug. 18 clocked traveling at 163 mph on southbound Ga. 400.

“When I saw that, I had to go and reread the report to make sure it wasn’t a typo,” said police spokesman Sgt. Howard Miller. “He was traveling that fast.”

Shortly after midnight that night, an officer patrolling Ga. 400 southbound near Old Milton Parkway saw a motorcycle speed past at a high rate of speed.

Radar clocked the driver at 163 mph in a 65-mph zone.

The first officer who spotted the motorcyclist was unable to pursue out of safety concerns, Miller said.

“The officer did activate his lights, but the motorcyclist was so far ahead, we couldn’t have pursued it even if we wanted to,” he added. “Motorcycles are a lot lighter, a lot faster, than a car.

Parked vehicle stolen from family’s driveway MILTON, Ga. — Police are investigating an Aug. 21 incident in which a car was stolen from a family’s driveway on Brookshade Parkway as they slept.

At 4:20 a.m., the mother was awakened by a motion alarm set for her driveway. When she looked outside, she saw someone drive away in her daughter’s car.

The daughter, who was still asleep at the time, later said that she had left the car unlocked with the keys, some clothes and some medication inside.

A neighbor’s security camera had footage of the incident. It showed a man exit a black sedan and enter the car before both vehicles drove away.

MILTON, Ga. — Police arrested a man Aug. 21 after an employee at Fry’s Electronics on Webb Road realized that he was using a fake driver’s license.

The man entered the store the previous day and tried to open a credit card account to purchase an Apple Watch and iPad. During the process, an employee noticed that the man’s license looked suspicious.

in various crimes, we wouldn’t even attempt to pursue a motorcycle at those speeds. It’s just too dangerous.”

The officer called in the incident and turned onto the Holcomb Bridge Road exit. There, at the stoplight, the officer spotted the motorcyclist waiting at a red light behind an SUV. The officer once again activated his lights.

This time, the motorcyclist complied and pulled over.

According to the police report, the motorcyclist said he was “just out for a ride” and didn’t realize he had been going so fast. The motorcyclist added that the bike was quick and he “just barely squeezed the throttle.”

The motorcyclist, later identified as 30-year-old Alex Olson of Cumming, was arrested without incident and charged with speeding and reckless driving.

This isn’t the only recent speeding incident where the driver surpasses 100 mph.

“We’ve been getting a lot of them,” Miller said. “It seems like there’s been

a lot of people going at those speeds lately.”

That same night, police arrested another driver, 36-year-old Daniel North of Woodstock, for going 112 mph on Ga. 400. And on Aug. 21, police arrested another driver on Westside Parkway, where the speed zone is 40 mph, for traveling at 110 mph. The name of the third driver was not available at publication time.

Thankfully, Miller said, the drivers were all arrested before they could hurt themselves or anyone else.

He added that speed limits aren’t just signs. They’re put there for everyone’s safety, both the drivers and others around them.

“At those high speeds, making a simple mistake, an improper lane change — they’re not going to be able to stop or make the necessary adjustments quick enough before there’s a car crash,” Miller said. “And at those speeds, if something happens, it’s probably going to be pretty tragic.”

The man quickly left the store when he noticed the loss prevention officer walk by, an employee said. The man left the license.

The next day, on Aug. 21, the man returned to pick up the license. Police stopped and arrested him.

The man, later identified as 24-yearold Shaquan Mitchell of Atlanta, was charged with identity theft fraud, possession of a false ID and giving a fake name.

The woman had received a statement in the mail that day for charges on her Macy’s account that the woman had not made. There were four charges for $2,000 total at the same location.

The woman contacted Macy’s, reported the fraud and cancelled the card before calling police.

City approves master plan for former Milton Country Club property Children’s Charities playground included in updated proposal

By JOE PARKER joe@appenmediagroup.com MILTON, Ga. — While the full buildout of the former Milton Country Club property is well down the road, the city now has a guide for its development.

At its Aug. 20 meeting, the City Council adopted a master plan for the site that outlines potential improvements and construction options, but also is malleable enough to accommodate changes.

Any additions or developments would still go before the city for approval.

The drafted plan had few tweaks since it was presented to the council in a work session last month, but one major addition was made — the inclusion of the Children’s Charities all-inclusive playground.

Children’s Charities has been funding the project for several years with the goal of donating the playground, which will be constructed on city property. In the drafted plan, the 0.385-acre playground is shown south of the clubhouse and pool.

Around a dozen residents weighed in on the plan in public comment, and the playground’s inclusion drew a mixed reception.

While all speakers applauded the nonprofit for its mission to build the playground in Milton, around a half dozen residents said the former Milton Country Club property was not a suitable location.

Speakers shared concerns on the impact the playground could have to traffic along

Dinsmore Road and that it could hinder swim meets by taking away space needed to stage swimmers and teams in the area surrounding the pool. Others said the playground would limit any future expansion of the pool or clubhouse. A few residents asked the council to postpone their vote because the playground was not shown on the drafted plan until three days before the meeting.

Several residents spoke in favor of the playground being constructed on the site, including Children’s Charities co-founder Lauren Holmes, who said the property is the “only and best place for the playground.”

She said the playground will add to Milton’s limited active park spaces and the property is the only location for the facility without the city spending additional funds.

“The playground should be in the old country club,” Holmes said.

Outside of the discussion of the playground, one resident suggested a complete reconfiguration of the trails. Cole Whittall, a member of the Milton Greenspace Advisory Committee, said people prefer shaded trails along waterways, and the current plan misses that mark.

He suggested the city abandon the trails proposal in the master plan and draw up trails along Chicken Creek and plant trees along the path to provide shade.

After discussion, the council voted 6-0, with Mayor Joe Lockwood absent, to approve the master plan that includes the playground. At the same time, city officials stressed that nothing is yet set in stone.

“With the passage of this plan, we now know what we are committed to, and it

The master plan calls for the city to continue operating the pool and tennis facilities, and space has been drawn up for the inclusion of the Children’s Charities allinclusive playground. gives us the opportunity to start planning and bring before you plans to fund,” City Manager Steve Krokoff told the council.

“You will decide with each step whether or not that is your priority. This does give us a roadmap, it generally prioritizes how we want to attack this, but it’s not going to tell us exactly what we’re going to do.”

Krokoff said the draft can allow the city to conduct general work and begin planning specific aspects of the park, such as the materials for the trails. It also allows the city to begin the budgeting process for improvements and to pursue grants. Several Providence Park initiatives have been funded by federal grants.

City Attorney Ken Jarrard said any proposed buildout of the site would be discussed in an open meeting.

“No one is going to build anything accidentally,” he said.

As drafted, the site plan calls for the addition of two tennis courts, a volleyball court and a renovation of the clubhouse in the active area of the park. The initial stage of the clubhouse renovation includes creating men’s and women’s locker rooms, a dining area and multi-purpose spaces.

In the passive area, the plan calls for 7.3 total miles of trails, beginning with a 3-mile trail on the northern portion of the property. A loop would later be created with the construction of a sidewalk along Dinsmore Road. The design outlines some options for the trail material, including crushed stone, decomposed granite or soil paths.

Before the city can open the park, it must address issues including the repair or replacement of some of the cart paths.

Five qualify for Milton City Council seats, two withdraw

Only one council seat draws competition

By JOE PARKER joe@appenmediagroup.com MILTON, Ga. — While several candidates qualified to run for seats on the Milton City Council last week, only one race could be contested after two contenders withdrew from the November general

election. Qualifying took place from Aug. 20-22.

Incumbents Carol Cookerly and Rick Mohrig will run unopposed and retain their seats, while the District 2/Post 2 race will be contested by two newcomers, Judy Burds and Paul Moore.

The District 2/Post 2 seat saw a

shakeup in candidates on the final day of qualifying. Mark Amick announced his bid for the seat in July but withdrew from the race prior to the 4:30 p.m. qualifying deadline on Aug. 22. The same day, Planning Commission chairman Paul Moore threw his hat into the ring. Moore will take on Judy Burds, a regular attendee at the city’s public meetings.

The seat is currently held by Matt Kunz, who announced earlier this year he would not seek re-election.

After the qualifying period ended, it appeared as if the District 1/Post 2 seat would be contested between incumbent Carol Cookerly and George Borek. However, Borek withdrew from the race on Aug. 23.

Carol Cookerly joined the council this January to finish the term of Burt Hewitt, who resigned from the post last year. Though three candidates qualified for the November 2018 election, Cook-

erly’s opponents bowed out of the race.

For the third straight election, Rick Mohrig will face no opposition to retain his seat.

Mohrig was one of the first council members just after incorporation, but he lost a tight election to Alan Tart in 2007.

He rejoined the council in 2013, running uncontested to fill the seat of Lance Large who resigned from the District 3/ Post 2 seat. Mohrig also ran unopposed in the 2015 general election.

Milton voters have seen a string of mostly uncontested races in recent elections. In 2015, Mohrig, Matt Kunz and Burt Hewitt all ran unopposed. Residents had some options in 2017 with Mayor Joe Lockwood running against Laura Rencher, and Laura Bentley ousting incumbent Bill Lusk on council, but Peyton Jamison and Joe Longoria ran unopposed for their seats.

The general election is Nov. 5.

MILTON, Ga. — The installation of small cell towers in Milton is inevitable, but the city is considering an ordinance that will require telecom companies to give the city a heads up when applying to construct or install new equipment. The 5G rollout regulations, aimed at streamlining the implementation and availability of the technology, were signed into law earlier this year and will take effect Oct. 1.

The law gives telecom companies extensive leeway to install new small cell towers in public right of way and severely limits what cities and counties can say about it. Though Milton’s hands will be tied because of the new law, the city hopes to could curb some issues related to the installation of towers.

The ordinance would require a telecom company to notify the city at least 30 days before applying for a small cell tower permit. It also states that companies would inform the city of how many towers it expects to deploy in a 24-month period and a timeframe for completion.

The proposal also calls for the city to charge the maximum allowable fee under the law for any new small cell towers or equipment.

While cities have limited control over the location of new towers, City Attorney Ken Jarrard said the state law permits Milton to set its rates and fees for small

cell equipment up to a maximum amount under the law and, because of the city’s size, Milton can require telecom companies to meet with city staff before their first application to install new equipment.

“The bill still lets you see behind the veil,” Jarrard said. “It let’s you see the rollout and implementation for each company, and it is proprietary, so that information is not subject to the open records act.”

Milton is not the first North Fulton city to draft an ordinance addressing the state law.

Alpharetta adopted an ordinance last year in anticipation of the bill passing in the 2019 General Assembly. When the bill passed, the legislation virtually dismantled the city’s preemptive effort.

Johns Creek also passed an ordinance last December that was superseded by the state law. The ordinance enforced certain design standards, encouraged telecom companies to use the same poles for equipment to limit the number of new poles and required firms enter into a master right of way agreement with the city.

Though the new law makes Johns Creek’s ordinance unenforceable, the city has since updated the regulations that expedites the permit process and lowers the permit fees for companies who adhere to its previously approved regulations.

Milton could take its ordinance up for a vote and its next regularly scheduled meeting Sept. 9.

Milton’s new public works director hits ground running

By JOE PARKER joe@appenmediagroup.com MILTON, Ga. — Robert Drewry has been named to serve as Milton’s new public works director where he will oversee the city’s roads, stormwater management, transportation planning and wastewater management and other city infrastructure. The role has been open since Carter Lucas left the post early this year.

“We’re thrilled to have found someone as experienced as Robert Drewry and appreciate how our current staff have taken on additional duties in the interim,” City Manager Steve Krokoff said in a statement. “This was a lengthy, multi-step hiring process. It was important that we found someone with the right skills and experience, but it was also essential that we found someone

who values citizen engagement.”

Drewry has already taken the plunge into serving Milton, and he brings extensive experience to the city. A South Georgia native, Drewry served as an assistant county engineer in Lowndes County before joining Chatham County in the late 1990s. In 2000, he began his tenure as the county’s public works director.

Though he called the southern portion of the state home, Drewry said he knew of Milton since its incorporation and was intrigued by its progress. The opportunity to work with a “progressive community” and share his experience is what drew him to join the city’s staff.

Drewry’s background includes road, storm water, sewer and solid waste management, and he led a staff of over 130

Governor provides update on state, policies

By JULIA GROCHOWSKI julia@appenmediagroup.com ALPHARETTA, Ga. — Georgia has much to be proud of from the past several months, according to Gov. Brian Kemp.

Speaking at the Aug. 23 Alpharetta Rotary Club Meeting at Alpharetta Presbyterian Church, Kemp updated the capacity crowd on his latest legislative efforts and changes coming to Georgia.

“As you all know, on the campaign trail, I made a lot of promises,” Kemp said. “I talked about making Georgia No. 1 for small business, reforming state government, investing in education and keeping taxes low… Over and over again — not just myself, but also the people who have been serving with me down there in the Capitol — we have been keeping our promises.”

Kemp covered some of the highlights from the most recent legislative session ended in April and thanked legislators, both Democrats and Republicans, for working together to solve some of the state’s biggest issues.

Education was one of the top priorities. The state not only fully funded the school district formula for the second year in the row, Kemp said, they have also passed a flat $3,000 pay raise for all certified teachers in the state to help with retention rates.

“We were losing 44 percent of our educators in the first five years that they got into the profession,” Kemp said. “It’s happening in urban areas. It’s happening in suburban areas. It’s happening in rural areas.”

Other changes Kemp discussed included funding for mental health services and school safety.

Kemp also spoke about disaster relief funding for Georgia’s rural areas and farmers after Hurricane Michael.

“Georgians have always stood with others in their time of need,” Kemp said.

This past legislative session, Kemp said he worked to cut wasteful spending and streamline operations.

“We must budget conservatively, save for a rainy day, and keep our taxes low,” Kemp said. “The time to do this is when we’re in a great economy instead of waiting for a disaster to make government more efficient. We should do this now, because it helps us fund our priorities for today and tomorrow.”

Kemp also spoke about his wife’s efforts to lead the charge nationwide to end human trafficking.

“Her goal is to bring awareness to the terrible issue,” Kemp said. “Not only to end it, but to get relief and help for the victims.”

Other topics Kemp discussed included healthcare, job growth, small business support, high speed internet access and access to THC oil.

“We’ve accomplished a lot during the session, but we are not taking the foot off the gas,” Kemp said. “We’ve got to continue to champion policies to ensure a bright future for all Georgians, no matter their zip code. We’ve got to continue to fight to eliminate government bureaucracy and red tape on small business. We’ve got to protect the innocent and the unborn, but we also have to do more to build off the great things the Legislature did a couple years ago on adoption reform and foster care reform as well as protecting our elderly…

“We’re going to continue to double down and put hard-working Georgians first.”

employees with Chatham County. He said that there is not much difference in public works from a county to city standpoint, but he has seen that Milton operates with a much tighter staff, and project funding presents a unique challenge.

“What I have learned is that the management model in Milton is lean and with a significant portion of public works outsourced to vendors, I believe my role here will be more hands-on which I can appreciate,” he said. “I also understand the Crier 8/29/19 Crossword unique challenges that come with a capped millage rate when it comes to transporta-

Because of those additional revenues, the city was able to expedite a number of transportation improvement projects that would not have been possible on this expedited timeline if just relying on general revenues.”

Drewry said he will focus on being a steward for Milton residents.

“Residents need to have a role in their local government,” he said. “That’s how the system works. They need to be able to pick up the phone, speak to someone and report a concern. My role here is to serve our residents to the best of my ability and PuzzleJunction.com to help ensure that staff have the resources and support needed to serve our citizens.”

Georgia urges support for medal honoring Merrill’s Marauders

By JULIA GROCHOWSKI julia@appenmediagroup.com ALPHARETTA, Ga. — Georgia has joined the effort to urge the U.S. Congress to recognize Merrill’s Marauders for their service and sacrifice during WWII with a Congressional Gold Medal.

Veterans and residents gathered at Alpharetta American Legion Post 201 on Aug. 22 to honor the group and present the resolution to Jonnie Melillo Clasen, daughter of late Merrill’s Marauders’ member and Korean War veteran Vincent Melillo. Melillo Clasen, a Columbus resident, is helping lead the charge to pass the Merrill’s Marauders Congressional Gold Medal Act. The medal is the highest honor Congress can bestow.

Georgia is the second state, behind California, to pass the resolution. Georgia Senate Resolution 466 was passed unanimously by Democrats and Republicans.

Merrill’s Marauders was a volunteer group envisioned by President Franklin D. Roosevelt and British Prime Minister Winston Churchill in 1944 to engage in a long-range penetration mission behind enemy lines in Japanese-occupied Burma. They were to cut off the communication and supply lines and

capture northern Burma’s only strategic, all-weather airfield in Myitkyina.

The group was officially designated as the 5307th Composite Unit Provisional, code-named “Galahad.” They later became known as Merrill’s Marauders, after their leader Brig. Gen. Frank D. Merrill.

“Merrill’s Marauders history is very confusing,” said Melillo Clasen. “The almost 3,000 men who answered President Roosevelt’s call for a dangerous and hazardous mission and volunteer without knowing their destination or objective, started out as a British force under Lord Louie Mountbatten’s Southeast Asia Command. They were trained by the British Chindits in India before being transferred to General ‘Vinegar Joe’ Stillwell’s China-Burma-India Theater in January 1944, today known as the ‘Forgotten Theater of WWII.’” Merrill’s Marauders were the first Americans to engage the Japanese on the ground in Asia and the first Americans to fight there since the 1900 Boxer Rebellion, said Georgia Sen. Ed Harbison, a sponsor of the resolution.

They endured months of jungle fighting, starvation, disease, monsoons and isolation, he added. But although Merrill’s Marauders were believed to be expendable, with no survivors, the group

successfully seized their objective, the Myitkyina airfield, on May 17, 1944, Harbison said.

This year marks the 75th anniversary of the Burma mission.

“Merrill’s Marauders’ uniqueness is part of what has made efforts so difficult for them to be awarded the Congressional Gold Medal,” Melillo Clasen said.

“The Georgia resolution — which has been sent to the U.S. Congress — urges passage of S. 743 and H.R. 906, which would award the Congressional Gold Medal to Merrill’s Marauders for their success and sacrifice in the China-Burma-India Theater.”

S. 743 was reintroduced this year by U.S. Sen. Johnny Isakson, and the time is running out to get it passed, Melillo Clasen said.

When the first bill was introduced in 2016, 28 Merrill’s Marauders were still alive. That number was halved this May when Melillo Clasen accompanied Merrill’s Marauders Bob Passanisi and Gilbert Howland to voice support for the Congressional Gold Medal Act. Since Memorial Day this year, six Merrill’s Marauders have died. Two died since Aug. 10, the 75th anniversary of the unit disbanding in Burma, Melillo Clasen said.

Nine Merrill’s Marauders are still alive today.

After the special mission was completed, thousands of replacements were flown in to serve with the unit until it disbanded. Although Georgia’s last Merrill’s Marauder, Melillo Clasen’s father Vincent, died, one of the replacement Merrill’s Marauders, Stanley Sasine of the Atlanta area, is still alive.

“There are many more living replacements alive than there are Marauders,” Melillo Clasen said. “Both groups would be eligible for a Congressional Gold Medal if the bills pass in Congress.”

This recognition is long overdue, said American Legion 201 Ambassador Roger Wise.

“They were before rangers,” Wise said. “They were before special forces.

They were a very, very brave group of young men who volunteered to go behind enemy lines realizing that many of them would not come home. They did their duty to God and our country.”

Melillo Clasen regularly gives history presentations about Merrill’s Marauders across Atlanta. For more information or to contact her, call 706-689-0153 or email jmc6154@aol.com.

(The Alpharetta Business Association Expo) is a great place to meet people and develop new relationships.

Andy Jordan, executive vice president and chief credit officer for Providence Bank 12 | Milton Herald | August 29, 2019

Alpharetta business expo highlights service, innovation

By PATRICK FOX pat@appenmediagroup.com ALPHARETTA, Ga. — Hundreds of visitors wound their way past an array of some 80 exhibitors Aug. 23 for the seventh annual Alpharetta Business Association Expo held at the Atlanta Marriott Alpharetta Hotel.

The show was a lot more engaging this year, with many tables inducing passersby with food, games, free samples and other activities.

Andy Jordan, executive vice president and chief credit officer for Providence Bank, said he used to wander through the exhibits at the expo until the bug hit him.

This is his third year as an exhibitor.

“I was sold on the idea,” he said. “It’s a great place to meet people and develop new relationships.”

Jordan’s booth drew extra attention with a gizmo that featured a metal washer dangling on a string. Visitors swung the washer toward a mounted hook for a chance to win a Bluetooth speaker.

Another highlight at the expo was a LinkedIn workshop presented by “The LinkedIn Guy” Gregg Burkhalter, a recognized expert on personal branding and a former radio personality at stations throughout the Southeast.

Meanwhile, Beth Johnson, partner with Savory Gourmet, was walking the aisles with a tray of delectables from The Savory Gourmet, which just had its grand opening earlier this month on Canton Street in Alpharetta.

Their chef, she said, is from New York, so a lot of the customers who hail from that part of the country love dining on an authentic New York Reuben or pastrami sandwich, she said.

Just down the aisle, another handson item garnered steady interest.

Sebastian Flores’ OctoGifts featured a multi-colored array of small, decorated, upright candy dispensers.

“It’s a combination greeting card-candy dispenser,” said the Alpharetta 13-year-old.

“It’s something you would give to a friend or family member on a special occasion.”

Each dispenser is made of card stock with a window of acetate that displays the level of candy still in the container.

Flores’ mother, Melanie, is a former educator who received her degree in engineering from MIT. She said she left her career as a coach to STEM educators to concentrate on her two sons.

Her eldest son, T.J., is a junior at Denmark High School. Sebastian is a student at DeSana Middle School in Alpharetta.

Melanie said Sebastian has sold about 66 of the devices over the past few months, bringing in about $1,000.

“We are just so proud of him,” Melanie said. “He just has this amazing ability to see things in his head and unzip them to see what they’d look like.”

Sebastian was one of three presenters earlier in the day for the ABA’s Tech Showcase, which features three entrepreneurs pitching their products to a panel of tech start-up experts.

The showcase included TGen Tech, which provides proprietary medical device technology that augments cardiac tissues and grows with the patient.

Espy Data Science, another presenter, combines statistics, math, computer programming and IT to help dealers run their businesses more effectively.

Then, there was Sebastian, inspired

by LEGO and origami, presenting his pitch for his candy dispenser.

“I think we did well,” he said after the presentation. “I wasn’t nervous. It was natural.”

Airport City to transform South Metro Atlanta There are transitional development projects, and then there is Airport City in College Park.

The College Park City Council unanimously approved a new master plan for a 420-acre mixedGeoff smith use development that Assurance Financial, will include almost gsmith@lendtheway.com 5 million square feet of office space, six hotels and 758,000 square feet of retail space. It is a massive development that will be located just west of Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport. It is, essentially, a mini-city estimated to cost around $700 million to target corporate headquarters in the entertainment, technology, medical, hospitality and training industries who want to be near the busy airport.

The property is just north of Camp Creek Parkway and west of I-85 and the airport. The largely undeveloped property is owned by the City of College Park, which sees this project as something that will transform that part of Atlanta.

“I think in the end they feel like this is the one shot for that side of town south of I-20,” said Bill de St. Aubin, CEO of the Sizemore Group which was chosen to create the master plan, in a recent article in the Atlanta Business Chronicle. “This one parcel, owned by one entity, is next to the largest job creator in the region south of I-20.”

The project has been compared in scale and style with Avalon and downtown Decatur. It will be urban in nature with city blocks and retail along the

ground floors, all sprawled out along the College Park Municipal Golf Course.

In regard to business travelers, it should not be overlooked that it is located next to the airport. With most businesses being located in downtown Atlanta, then north of the city, it’s a big deal if you don’t have to fight normal Atlanta traffic to get to where you are traveling to. It’s also a big deal if you can walk from your hotel to the business you are visiting, and then have a nice place to walk in the evening and find dinner.

When the Porsche Experience Center, which serves as the carmaker’s North American headquarters, was built just north of the airport along I-75, many people took notice. Potential customers and other executives could fly in, drive around the track, and fly out. If you are a company with a large contingent of executives who travel frequently, with Atlanta traffic the way it is, being located that close to the airport is a huge timesaver. And today’s employers are looking for any edge they can get in recruiting young talent. Add to that the fact that now you will have six hotels where customers can walk out of and be in an upscale, urban environment, and it’s really a game-changer for Atlanta.

Airport City will include a 5K multiuse loop around the entire development, and will convert the city’s historic golf course to 18 holes. In addition to the office, retail and hotels, the development will include multifamily, townhomes and single-family homes.

While the development is transformative for College Park, it’s really transformative for the entire area south of Atlanta. The cities of Hapeville, College Park

North Fulton Eye Center/Cumming Eye Clinic announces new associate physician ROSWELL, Ga. — North Fulton Eye Center/Cumming Eye Clinic recently hired Dr. Hannah Park as an associate ophthalmologist. Park will treat patients 14 years of age or older to keep up with the growing community needs of eye care health.

and Palmetto are not really known for new upscale developments. Sixteen years ago, I remember working on a house with a friend of mine who was building in a neighborhood called Serenbe. It’s in a city called Chattahoochee Hills just west of Palmetto. When he told me he was building a $1.2 million-house there, I was sincerely baffled. The community was founded by restaurateur Steve Nygren and is a super-upscale town built around his very active farm. It was for me, literally in the middle of nowhere. It has a downtown area closely connected to a network of unique homes. It is an incredibly laid-back and relaxing community where people can go down and stay the night. At the time, with no real economy close by, I didn’t know who was going to be able to live there. But because it was close to the airport, it filled up with executives who lived and worked in other parts of the country, but who came to Atlanta enough to have a second home near the airport.

Now, with the introduction of Airport City, this kind of development south of Atlanta may not seem so out of place.

Using social media can be complicated for small businesses Are you using social media in your business?

Have you measured the impact social media is having in helping you attract new customers and grow revenue? dick jones Over the past Founder & President Jones Simply Sales decade, the rush to utilize social media by many businesses has been huge. However, in a lot of cases, it has been a time-consuming waste of time that has provided limited value.

Please don’t get me wrong. Social media has delivered and will continue to deliver considerable value to small businesses. However, just because you are using social media doesn’t mean you’re getting any value from it.

There are many reasons why.

At the top of the list are your target customers. If your small business does business with other businesses, commonly known as B2B, you probably won’t get a lot of traction using social media sites like Facebook.

Conversely, if your target customers are consumers, then Facebook could be perfect.

Social media sites for small businesses are not all focused on attracting new customers. Some sites like LinkedIn, for example, can be used to identify and recruit new employees.

As such, evaluating the utilization of social media must be based on what you are trying to accomplish.

In the digital world that we now live in, everyone has jumped on the bandwagon of social media. In some cases, it’s been a game changer, and in others, it’s been a terrible waste of time. If social media is right for your business, then use it. If it’s not, then don’t!

By PATRICK FOX pat@appenmediagroup.com ATLANTA — After more than four years of negotiations and clearing regulatory hurdles, Northside Hospital and the Gwinnett Health System have completed arrangements to combine their health care operations. The merger takes effect Aug. 28.

The expanded Northside Hospital system will have 1,636 inpatient beds; more than 250 outpatient locations throughout Georgia; and nearly 21,000 employees and 3,500 physicians on staff.

Debbie Mitcham, longtime chief financial officer and 25-year veteran of Northside Hospital, will be the new president and CEO of Northside’s Gwinnett health care campuses. Phil Wolfe, who served as president and CEO of the Gwinnett system for the past 13 years, has announced his retirement effective Aug. 28. Other important leadership changes are expected to be announced soon as the combined healthcare networks begin service as one entity.

The merger agreement was approved by the Georgia Office of the Attorney General in November 2017, and in February 2019, the Federal Trade Commission completed its review of the combination and gave its approval to move forward.

Northside Hospital is one of Georgia’s leading health care providers with more than 240 locations across the state, including three acute care, state-of-theart hospitals in Sandy Springs, Cherokee County and Forsyth County. It leads the nation in newborn deliveries and is among the state’s top providers of cancer care and surgical services.

Gwinnett Health System is nationally recognized, with hospitals in Lawrenceville and Duluth. Additional facilities

Cook joins Dunwoody Crier as editor ALPHARETTA, Ga. — Appen Media Group, publishers of the Herald newspapers and the Dunwoody Crier, has named Carson Cook as editor for the Crier.

Cook joined Appen, publishers of the Alpharetta-Roswell Herald, Johns Creek Herald, Forsyth Herald, Milton Herald and Northside Woman, in 2018 as a staff writer. This May, she was promoted to editor of the Johns Creek Herald and the quarterly Answer Book guides.

Cook will report on Dunwoody City Council and community news, while continuing to cover Johns Creek and Fulton County government for Appen’s other publications.

“I am ready to immerse myself in the

include the Gwinnett Women’s Pavilion, the Gwinnett Extended Care Center, Glancy Rehabilitation Center, and outpatient health centers including surgical, imaging and physical, occupational and speech therapy facilities.

Northside is by far the larger of the two operations. It has $1.8 billion in annual revenues through its three hospitals and various care facilities, according to Dun & Bradstreet. Gwinnett has revenues of about $731 million annually.

Hospital officials said patients of the Gwinnett Health System will notice virtually no changes in their regimen of treatment and care.

Also, beginning this week: • Gwinnett Medical Center-Lawrenceville, located at 1000 Medical Center Blvd., will be called Northside Hospital Gwinnett.

• The Gwinnett Medical Center-Duluth, located at 3620 Howell Ferry Road, will be called Northside Hospital Duluth.

• The Gwinnett Extended Care Center at GMC-Lawrenceville, located at 650 Professional Drive, will be called the Northside Gwinnett Extended Care Center.

• The Glancy Rehabilitation Center, located at 3215 McClure Bridge Road in Duluth, will be called Northside Gwinnett Joan Glancy.

Changes to the signage at the facilities will occur in stages.

For care provided at Gwinnett locations beginning August 28, patient bills and statements will be addressed from Northside Hospital, and payments will be made to the same. For care received at Gwinnett locations prior to August 28, patient bills will come from and be payable to Gwinnett Medical Center.

More information about the billing process can be found at northsidegwinnett.com.

Dunwoody community and understand the issues that matter to residents,” Cook said. “I hope to continue what people have loved about the Crier for the past 42 years, while expanding and improving the news coverage people care about.”

Cook previously worked as a community news reporter with the Chattanooga Times Free Press and is a graduate of the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga.

“Carson has shown a talent for identifying and absorbing community issues,” said Managing Editor Patrick Fox. “I think Crier readers will come to rely on her to report on the things that matter in Dunwoody.”

Appen Media Group announced plans to take over operations of the Dunwoody Crier weekly newspaper from Publisher Dick Williams in April.

GET OUTSIDE, GEORGIA

OPINION

Getting ready to rock!

A couple of weeks ago I gave you some homework: acquire a plastic egg carton. The fun way to do that is to buy a dozen eggs, and then cook a couple of epic omelets to share with someone you love.

STEVE HUDSON The egg carton is Get Outside Georgia, aa4bw@comcast.net what’s left over.

The reason for the egg carton, you’ll recall, is to give you a place to keep rocks.

Whenever I talk to folks about rock collecting, I always mention egg cartons as a way to bring order to the otherwise uncontrolled chaos of rock collecting.

There are alternatives, of course, including all sorts of elaborate purpose-built storage cabinets. But egg cartons are ubiquitous — and cheap!

Anyway, now that you have that egg carton, what do you do with it? Find some rocks, of course, and use the carton to store ‘em. And where do you find those rocks? I thought you’d never ask!

Talking about where to find rocks is kind of like talking about where to find

treasure. And therein lies the rub.

If I knew a good treasure hunting spot – say, a hollow tree filled with gold coins – I might not write about it here.

The reason is not that I want to keep it a secret. In fact, I’d probably be glad to take you there. The problem is that, if I wrote about it here in the paper, then lots of the people who read these words might decide to check that spot out. The first ones to get there would each collect a few coins, but it wouldn’t be long until all of the coins were gone.

That’s kind of the way it is with mineral and fossil collecting places. So while I may not tell you (at least in print) precisely where (as in which outcrop) to visit when rock collecting, I’ll sure try to give you the info you need to track down those places on your own.

Years ago, when I started collecting rocks, it was possible to collect rocks just about anywhere. Today, however, that’s changed. Many (some would say most) good rock collecting sites now lie behind “NO TRESPASSING” signs and are off-limits. No matter how much you want to see what’s there, always respect those signs.

A second class of rock collecting sites includes “fee areas,” where you pay a fee

to the landowner or leaseholder for the privilege of collecting on said property.

There are several of these in Georgia, and from time to time, we’ll visit some of them in this column. They can be a lot of fun – especially since you won’t have to worry about getting arrested for trespassing.

The third type of sites are those on public land. This class includes many public lands, among them national forests. Yes, rock collecting is permitted in national forest, albeit with some restrictions. Visit fs.usda.gov to check out the latest regulations.

Note that rock collecting is NOT allowed in Georgia state parks.

Another possibility, as long as you can do it safely, is to look for rocks in road cuts. Major highways are out, of course, but many country roads offer intriguing possibilities.

How do you find a good road cut?

Let’s say you want to look for fossils,

something that I did last weekend. I was particularly interested in finding fossil crinoids — specifically, small pieces of 300-million-year-old crinoid stems.

Stems? Were they plants? No. They were marine animals which had a stem-like stalk which was attached to the seafloor, with feeding arms radiating from the top of the stalk. A few crinoid species survive today, but 300 million years ago, they were everywhere.

Crinoids appear to have thrived in the warm, shallow seas that once covered what is now northwestern Georgia.

Sometimes, however, a crinoid stalk might fall over and perhaps break up on the sea floor. The pieces might then be covered in sediment and eventually, over the eons, become fossils.

In northwest Georgia, I knew that crinoids are sometimes found in rocks that are part of the Fort Payne Formation.

Thus, all I had to do was consult a geologic map and see where the Fort Payne Formation outcrops on the surface.

Comparing what I found on the geologic map with some county roadmaps helped me pinpoint areas to investigate for possible fossil-bearing roadcuts. Sometimes that’s all there is to delineating a fossil search area, and it really is a surprisingly easy to do.

So I was set. I had my search area, my rock pick, my safety glasses (don’t ever forget those!) and my maps.

How did it go? I’ll let you know next time!

New-look Titans down rivals St. Pius X to open 2019 campaign

By JOE PARKER joe@appenmediagroup.com ROSWELL, Ga. — Brandishing a host of new starters in BT’s first contest under its new defensive coaching staff, the Titans picked up where they left off last year against St. Pius X Friday night. BT had a strong defensive performance and effective rushing attack to give the Titans their 22nd straight win.

While Friday’s performance was far from the dominance the Titans showed last year, it did serve as the first stepping stone in growing the 2019 squad.

“This is not going to be a real good football team in a hurry,” BT head coach Tim McFarlin said. “I think we have a chance to be pretty good down the road, but it’s going to happen week by week.”

BT’s defense has been critical to the Titans claiming the last two Class 4A state titles, and in the debut game for its new coaching staff and scheme, St. Pius managed just 148 total yards.

“The defense did an awesome job, and they’ve had to learn a whole new system under a whole new set of coaches, and I was just really proud of how the kids played, particularly up front,” McFarlin said.

The Golden Lions had just 37 yards after the first half, and their only touchdown was a result of Blessed Trinity penalties early in the third quarter.

BT committed three straight penalties on their opening drive of the second half, putting the offense in a first-and-30

James Bryant leaps over a defender after making a reception in the Titans’ 28-10 win over St. Pius X. situation. Quarterback Duncan Reavis threw a long pass into single coverage on the ensuing play, and a St. Pius defender came away with an interception.

The Titans defense forced a threeand-out, but a 5-yard running into the kicker penalty incentivized St. Pius to go for a fourth-and-3 conversion. The Golden Lions picked the first down and converted another fourth down play before scoring a rushing touchdown to cut BT’s lead to 21-7.

“I was irritated by penalties in the second half, but on the good side, it was penalties of kids playing hard,” McFarlin said.

Before the inauspicious start to the

second half, the Titans had a threetouchdown cushion behind two rushing scores from Elijah Green and an 11-yard scoring scamper from freshman Justice Haynes.

Green put BT on the scoreboard midway through the first quarter with a 29-yard rush off the edge, avoiding two tackles before crossing the goal line. He found the end zone again with four min-

utes left in the first half with an 18-yard rushing score set up by three straight completions from Reavis for a total of 55 yards. Reavis was 8-12 passing with 104 yards.

BT’s defense sparked the Titans’ third rushing score late in the second quarter. Ryan Attaway recovered a St. Pius fumble deep in Golden Lions’ territory which set up an 11-yard touchdown run from Haynes on the next play.

Greene extended BT’s lead to 28-7 on the first play of the fourth quarter with a 7-yard score. The North Carolina commit compiled 21 carries for 163 yards, an impressive opening night after he missed most of last season due to injury.

“Elijah was so anxious to get back after missing all of last year,” McFarlin said. “I thought for the first game he looked good. What was really impressive was his yards after contact.”

Friday’s win extended BT’s win streak over St. Pius X to seven games and the Titans overall win streak to 22 games dating back to the 2017 regular season. However, McFarlin said the team has plenty of room to grow, and BT will undoubtedly be challenged by their grueling schedule, but he was pleased with Friday’s result.

“I loved the energy, it was a good turnout and it is a good rivalry,” he said.

“This was a good way to kick things off.”

Week 1 football recap (Aug. 23)

SPORTS

Centennial falls in season opener; Fellowship downs North Springs

By JOE PARKER joe@appenmediagroup.com NORTH FULTON/FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. — The 2019 high school football regular season kicked off August 23 with several North Fulton and Forsyth County teams in action.

Class 7A Forsyth Central 43, Chamblee 10 Forsyth Central opened its regular season Friday by downing Chamblee in decisive fashion for the second straight year.

Forsyth Central began the game with a bang by returning the opening kickoff for a touchdown. The Bulldogs added two scores before Bronson Landreth threw a 51-yard touchdown to put Central up 29-0.

Chamblee scored before the end of the first half, but Central responded with a touchdown on its opening possession of the third quarter and cruised to the 43-10 win.

The Bulldogs have a bye before taking on Cass Sept. 6.

Wheeler 42, Lambert 19 Lambert’s 2019 season began in a similar fashion to last season with the Longhorns falling to Wheeler in their

season opener.

Wheeler jumped out to a quick lead in the first quarter and continued to find the end zone, scoring all six of their touchdowns in the first half.

Though the Longhorns compiled three passing touchdowns, including two in the first half, Wheeler’s margin was too great to overcome.

Lambert is on the road again Aug. 30 against Chattahoochee.

Cherokee 29, North Forsyth 14 Cherokee extended its win streak over North Forsyth to four games by downing the Raiders 29-14 Friday night.

Cherokee forced a safety in the first quarter, and neither team had much offensive success in the opening two frames with the Warriors holding a 9-0 lead at the half. Cherokee extended their lead with a touchdown in the third before North got on the board to put the margin at 16-8.

The two teams then exchanged scores, but the Warriors put the game away with a long touchdown midway through the fourth.

The Raiders play their home opener Aug. 30 against Gainesville.

South Forsyth 34, Sprayberry 20 South Forsyth began its 2019

campaign Friday night with a win over Sprayberry in front of a home crowd.

South took its first lead of the game midway through the second quarter with Tre’Von Green’s second rushing score, but a failed 2-point conversion kept the score at 12-10. South added another touchdown, and Sprayberry made a field goal to give South a 19-13 edge at the half.

After a scoreless third quarter, Green scored his third touchdown of the night to extend South’s lead. Though Sprayberry cut the margin to 27-20 midway through the fourth quarter, Green tallied his fourth rushing score three minutes later to seal South’s win.

The War Eagles are home again Aug. 30 to battle with two-time defending Class 4A state champions Blessed Trinity.

Camden County 47, West Forsyth 6 West Forsyth suffered a second season-opening loss to Camden County Friday night with the Wildcats handing West a lopsided loss at home.

Camden pounced on West in the first half and scored 41 points while holding West scoreless.

The Wolverines will travel out of state next week to take on Alabama’s Hewitt-Trussville. West fell in last year’s matchup of the teams, 38-30.

Milton vs. Buford (postponed) Milton’s anticipation to kick off its new season after capturing the Class 7A state title last year was delayed after their Corky Kell Classic matchup against Buford was postponed due to field conditions at Coolray Field, home of the Gwin-

nett Stripers baseball team.

The matchup will be played on Sept.

6. Milton will play the game at home after winning a coin toss.

Class 6A Creekview 27, Cambridge 3 Cambridge’s struggles against Creekview continued Friday night with its eighth straight loss to their Cherokee County foes. It is the fourth straight year Cambridge has started its regular season with a loss to Creekview, who entered this season ranked in the top-10 of Class 6A. Cambridge’s scoring was limited to a field goal late in the second half that cut Creekview’s lead to 7-3. Creekview responded with a touchdown just before halftime and added two touchdowns in the second half while holding Cambridge off the scoreboard.

Cambridge has a bye before going on the road to face Woodstock Sept. 6.

Northside Warner Robins 46, Centennial 13 Centennial dropped its matchup with top-five ranked Northside Warner Robins Friday night in the head coaching debut of the Shane Sams. Though Centennial remained close through three quarters, Northside dominated the final period to take the win.

Northside led 13-0 in the second quarter before Centennial got on the board with a 23-yard touchdown pass from Parker Sperier.

The Knights inched closer with a defensive touchdown in the third quarter

Recap: Continued from Page 20 to cut the deficit to 18-13, but Northside responded with another score and lit up the Knights in the fourth quarter to clinch its win.

Centennial has a bye before taking on crosstown foes Roswell on Sept. 6.

Riverwood 46, Chattahoochee 10 Chattahoochee’s new era began under head coach Mike Malone Friday night, but the Cougars began his tenure with a loss to Riverwood on the road.

The loss was Hooch’s second straight to Riverwood, who downed the Cougars 48-14 in last year’s matchup.

Chattahoochee has not won a regular season opener since 2010.

Johns Creek 44, Fairfield Central (SC) 6 Johns Creek’s long road trip to open its season paid off with a win, with the Gladiators taking down Fairfield Cen-

tral in Winnsboro, South Carolina. The game was delayed by lightning and was called short in the fourth quarter due to weather.

Quarterback Ben Whitlock threw two touchdown passes, and Tank Pritchett had two rushing scores to lead the Gladiators offense.

Johns Creek led 21-6 entering the third quarter and started the second half by returning the kickoff for a touchdown. The Gladiators added two touchdowns and a field goal before the game was called with eight minutes remaining in the fourth quarter.

The Gladiators will take on another out-of-state opponent Friday when they host Jones High School of Orlando, Fla. Class 4A Blessed Trinity 28, St. Pius X 10 Blessed Trinity opened its 2019 season with its seventh straight win over rivals St. Pius X at home Friday night.

The Titans used three rushing touchdowns from Elijah Green and held St. Pius to 148 total yards to power their 22nd consecutive overall win.
