MILTON, Ga. — A Milton man was alerted to suspicious activity on his credit card and acted quickly to thwart a possible attempt to steal his credit card. The man said he received a call from Bank of America to confirm he ordered a new credit card. He told the bank he had not ordered the card and that the order was likely fraudulent. The bank stopped issuance of the card. Four days later on Sept. 15, the

Police arrest shopper after attempted theft MILTON, Ga. — A Forsyth County woman was arrested at the Milton Walmart for attempting to steal multiple items of jewelry and shower hooks. Store employees alerted Milton Police to a shoplifting in progress after witnessing the woman place several pieces of jewelry in her wallet before continuing to roam the store. The employee said the woman also attempted to conceal a knife. She first attempted to put the knife down her pants before a store employee walked by and she put it back on the shelf. She later took a different knife and placed it under her shirt in her bra, but later took it out. The woman also folded a shower curtain and placed it in her wallet. The suspect then walked to the front of the store, retrieved her wallet from the shopping cart before “running” out through the doors. She was apprehended by police.
man received an email stating his new credit card was being mailed to his address. Again suspecting potential fraud, the man called the bank and attempted to stop the mailing of the new card, but the card had already been sent. The bank told the man the card had been ordered through a phone app. While waiting for his mail to arrive on Sept. 17, the man said he saw a hatchback car circle his neighborhood
eight times. At one point, the hatchback pulled into the man’s driveway to turn around. Believing the person was trying to steal the mailed credit card, the man met the mail truck at the front of his subdivision to receive his mail. Within the mail was a credit card fraudulently ordered from his wife’s account. The man closed both credit card accounts. The man took a photo of the car’s license plate.
Officers found six rings, worth $53 total, and shower hooks in her purse. The woman said she was shopping with her grandmother and she did not have a job and needed things for her house. She said she had concealed other items but “thought better of it” and put them back. She said she put the rings in her wallet and forgot about them, but said she meant to pay for the items and was running outside to retrieve her cell phone so she could call her grandmother. The woman was arrested for shoplifting under $500 and was issued a criminal trespass warning.
and assumed the car had been sold. Just over a month later the man saw the same ad on the site. He again texted the phone number and began exchanging emails with a “Patricia Myers” who stated she was the owner. Myers said she was a recent divorcee and wanted to sell the car quickly. The man said he was a serious buyer with cash in hand, but Myers said she is in the U.S. Air Force and the car is stored in Omaha, Nebraska. She told the man to send his full name, address and phone number to USM Auto Shippers who would be transporting the car should he decide to purchase. Myers said the man would be sent instructions from the company on how to complete the transaction, but he became suspicious when he received the directives. The email said to call the company’s financial department to receive more information on how to conduct a bank wire transfer and that he would only have four hours to wire the money. Suspecting fraud, the man decided against sending the funds. The man said he wanted to file a report to document the incident to help potential victims. Police ran the car’s VIN number which did not return to any vehicle.
Man halts car purchase after suspecting fraud MILTON, Ga. — A Milton man decided against making a car purchase through Craigslist after he was given suspicious instructions on how to pay for the transaction. The man said he was looking to purchase a car for his wife when he saw a 2014 BMW X5 posted for sale on Craigslist for $15,000. The man texted the number on the ad but was told the person was selling the car for his sister and he would need to contact her for more details. The man never received a response

City outlines public input sessions for new park By JOE PARKER joe@appenmediagroup.com
Public input sessions for Milton’s new park:
MILTON, Ga. — Residents who want to weigh in on the future of the former Milton Country Club park space will have multiple chances in the coming weeks. At the Sept. 17 City Council work session, a representative with design consultant Kimley-Horn outlined the schedule for public input regarding the park. The sessions include six meetings, an online survey that will be open throughout October, and representatives will be on hand to take public input at the Crabapple Fest on Oct. 6. The Kimley-Horn representative said the goals for the public input sessions are to identify a vision for the park and trail planning. The park is near the city’s central Milton trail which was approved in the trails master plan last year. An objective in the planning process for the new park is to connect the park with the 5.9-mile trail that runs from Birmingham Falls Elementary to Providence Park. Those perhaps most impacted by the future of the park will be adjacent resi-

including the Equestrian Committee, Milton Greenspace Advisory Committee, Milton Disability Awareness Committee and Parks and Recreation Advisory Committee — will meet together on Oct. 17 to discuss the future of the approximate 130-acre park. A public meeting will be held on Oct.
18 and a final open house will precede the City Council’s Nov. 5 meeting. During the public input process, consultants and the city will also plan for the active uses at the park, including the tennis and swim facilities, clubhouse and golf cart/maintenance barn. The city opened the pool this summer and partnered with the tennis program to retain the club earlier this year. The consultant said Kimley-Horn will mull the possibilities of repurposing the clubhouse and barn or determine their suitability for a third-party vendor. In other action, the City Council continued its discussions on incentivizing large lots. The newest potential initiative includes waiving the requirement that subdivisions with all lots over 3 acres be required to go before the city’s Planning Commission. Assistant City Manager Carter Lucas said if the measure is approved, the plat review process could be approved administratively by the city before a City Council review. The city is also mulling ways to incentivize lots of 3 acres or more through altering its design standards.

Commissioner Marvin Arrington suggested that the county could use the $20 million windfall it was expected to receive from the property tax rate. However, when the request was brought before the commissioners on Sept. 19 the request was decreased to $618,585 and funded from within the existing budged, split between a reserve for contractual obligations and the contingency reserve. The cost of the personnel changes

Dog park, tennis courts remain on Wills Park Master Plan By PATRICK FOX pat@appenmediagroup.com ALPHARETTA, Ga. — The plan Alpharetta will use to revitalize its main public park is beginning to take its final shape, and, so far, everybody appears to like it. City officials were briefed Sept. 17 on the Wills Park Master Plan which will pour millions of local dollars into the 120-acre park over the next several years. The plan, which began in May with a series of public information sessions and online surveys, is wending its way through official channels and is expected to be formally adopted in October. The path has not been smooth. Just last month residents objected to a series of preliminary sketches showing reduced space for the dog park and tennis courts. City leaders then directed the Parks Department to reopen public comment for another round of input. Parks and Recreation Director Morgan Rodgers called the latest revision a “water tower” plan. “Specific details are not included in this plan,” he said. “The plan presented tonight does not include the Equestrian Center. [That portion] of the plan will be presented to the public, the [Parks and
Recreation] Commission and to the [City] Council in October.” Even in its early stages, however, the plan appeases many of the concerns raised in prior drafts. Allison Stewart-Harris, senior planner with Jacobs Engineering, outlined highlights of the latest revisions. The idea behind the new plan, she said, is to unite the various components now within the park, identify the key facilities that need upgraded and strengthen the park’s connection to downtown. Specific problems the plan addresses include eliminating the confusion of navigating the park, clearing up any environmental issues and adding quiet, passive areas. “What we heard is people really like the park the way it is,” Stewart-Harris said. The survey also showed patrons were particularly interested in preserving the dog park, tennis courts, disc golf, the Mansell House and Gardens, and Wacky World playground. The latest plan calls for a major eastwest walkway through the park, a path that touches nearly all the amenities the park has to offer. Those amenities include: A renovation and expansion of the

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. Improved bleachers at and a playground near the ball parks. The plan also includes preserving 18 holes for disc golf, keeping the tennis courts as they are and maintaining the forest and walking trails. 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. Following the update from Jacobs, residents spoke to the council, expressing thanks for extending the public comment portion of the process. Kim Waitz, spokeswoman for Friends of the Dog Park, said after the meeting she was gratified the city listened. She said her group had garnered some 600 signatures on a paper petition and 2,200 on an online petition after initial plans had called for reducing the size of the dog park. “We set up a table at the park and even had a Facebook page,” she said, adding that a lot of their support came from the business community. Mayor Jim Gilvin said the master plan revision was designed to let residents direct the city’s future plan for Wills Park. This isn’t something we have the money or the intention of doing in the next year or two, all at once in one fell swoop,” he said. “So, it’s important we get this process right.” The Parks and Recreation Commission is scheduled to consider the plan and any final updates at 7 p.m., Oct. 9. The City Council will consider adopting the plan at its Oct. 15 meeting.

“Will you go with me to the funeral in the morning?” my wife Christina asked. “Of course,” was my response. I knew who the woman was who had died suddenly. Her family goes to Ray appen our church. Her Publisher kids grew up in our ray@appenmediagroup.com church. She and her husband Alan were as active in our church life as any member can be. But try as I might, I could not picture her in my mind. I don’t think I actually knew her. To me she was a stranger. Our lives did not connect. Some things in life we can control. Other things we cannot. What abject futility it is when our choices result in our own loss or failed connections with others – when we turn our backs, look the other way, or close our ears to those around us – when our “empathy” implodes and becomes just a word instead of something alive with a warm, beating heart. Our congregation was in shock. Her death was one that was not supposed to happen. Not her. Not now. Not out of the blue and for no apparent medical or self-inflicted reason. The only other time I was so moved that my world slipped into a dark void from its safe, secure perch and what was clear to me melted into fog was the death of another church member, a young woman fresh out of college, Kate. The loss I felt was only magnified and made more real when I heard one of the epithets her mom shared at her service: “Take her and cut her out in little stars, And she will make the face of heaven so fine That all the world will be in love with the night.” - Romeo and Juliet, Shakespeare (slightly edited) I will never forget those words nor the suffering I saw in her parents when she died. This time, as I sat in my pew and listened to the service, I began to get to know this amazing woman – this fellow church member, this mom, this wife, this volunteer, this mentor, this living testament to grace and everything that is good, a woman I never took the time to meet or talk to, or share a few moments with.
Alan and Nancy Crowell She was healthy, engaged, happy, still in love with her husband of 35 years. More than one person spoke of their marriage as “perfect” — as perfect as humanity can have perfect marriages. “I never once saw my parents have a cross word with each other” they said. “She never had an ill word for another. She seemed to thrive on reaching out to everyone within her orbit. Her glass was perpetually half full.” Her mission seemed to be to make the world around her as happy as she was. That’s what Pastor Ollie said about her. That’s what her brave twins – Christopher and Breanna — shared about their mom from the pulpit. “After I left home she texted me every day. She was my best friend,” they both said. She inspired. She exuded goodness. She was in love with life, they said. But one morning after drinking her coffee and reading her Bible as she did every day, she suddenly died. Our minister, Ollie Wagner, drove down to Florida that same day with her husband Alan and son Christopher to meet with her 27 year old daughter in person to tell her the awful news. The soliloquy that Breanna and Christopher shared with the congregation this morning from the pulpit left not a dry eye in church. Their mother sounded like someone who had been sent to earth by God to give us all an example of goodness – of how we are supposed to treat each other, especially family. The image and aura of an angel in our midst was unmistakable

Strike up the (marching) band
I write, believe me, this sports reporter doesn’t discount their performance. I always arrive at Friday night games early, and one of the most exciting times is hearing the cadence of the drumline as the band enters the stadium. The rhythmic pulses of the drums stirs the emotion and exhilaration as the two opposing teams prepare to battle. And once the game is underway, the band provides a better soundtrack than could ever be pumped through the stadium’s speakers. They ramp up the excitement of a touchdown, their melodies stir motivation when their team is trailing, and the band makes very strange things happen to me. I say that because I am not one to ever gyrate my hips, but whenever the tubas belt out the opening lines of Bruce Channel’s “Hey Baby,” I just can’t help but do so.
Of course there is always the halftime show, where I am still blown away by the precision of the music, marching and dancing after years of performances. Admittedly, this is also a frustrating time to be a sports reporter, because I want to watch the show. Unfortunately my head is usually glued to my phone, accumulating stats and tweeting the scores of other games, but I’m enthralled whenever I get the opportunity to watch the performance. I recently saw a post to Facebook that stated football teams should line the bleachers and cheer on their marching bands when they perform at band competitions. I couldn’t agree more. While this may not be commonplace, I have the strong feeling that the players out on the field fully appreciate the band, as well as those in the stands dancing along. The band puts in monumental effort, is a crucial aspect to what makes high school football so special, and the end product is a joy to behold and experience. So to all the marching bands, color guards and anyone else adding to the excitement of North Fulton and Forsyth County high school football games, keep up the amazing work. Just don’t play “Hey Baby” too much or else I will have to embarrass myself.

High school football games are an onslaught to the senses. The smell of grilled hamburgers permeates the air so greatly you can almost taste them. Sights of freshly painted helmets, the fans decked out in JOE PARKER school colors and the Reporter joe@appenmediagroup.com impeccably green turf fills the eyes. There’s the touch of the fantastically hot metal bleachers that have roasted in the Georgia sun in summer, and the chill that runs up your backside from the seats later in the season. There are of course the sounds and yelps of the excited crowd, the booming voice of the house announcer after each play on the field, but perhaps the most underrated sound under the Friday night lights is the marching band.

Clemente: Continued from Page 8 as I – no we — listened to her children speak, and we heard their words float up above our heads in the air from those deep wells of unimaginable sorrow and loss. Then her children shared words of admiration and strength – of pure love – and I think it was obvious to everyone that their mom was exactly right there by their sides as they bravely spoke to us. Her love shown through their words. And, even when their pain seemed almost unbearable, at times one could see her strength and her will, and her love covering them like a blanket — keeping them warm and safe. “I will be with you always” was her message. “Don’t fear. Remember,” she had told them, “we can choose faith or we can choose fear.” Near the end of his tribute to Nancy, Pastor Ollie — and I didn’t understand it at first — talked about Roberto Clemente. I would later find out that Clemente was Alan’s hometown hero and favorite baseball player. Alan grew up in Pittsburgh where Roberto played 18 seasons for the Pirates. But Ollie’s reference was more than that, and the nuances of
this good-bye were many. If Ollie had not gone into the ministry he may have been a good enough baseball player to have gone pro. That is still his love, I know. Clemente is generally thought of as one of the greatest baseball players who ever lived, and he is just as admired for his life off the field as a compassionate, caring and giving human being. Clemente died in an airplane crash on his way to help deliver aid to earthquake victims in Nicaragua. His death was one of those things that was not supposed to happen. Not him. No, not like that. Not someone who was so good, so caring, so selfless, so loved – just like Nancy. Coming from Ollie, I can’t think of a greater, more heartfelt tribute to Nancy Sisson Crowell than that. I left her service longing to have been her friend — to at least have known her and to have maybe learned from her. How could I have been so blind? Some things we do control, and maybe one last gift she left was a wake up call to all of us who don›t love as we could, or who don’t take advantage of our opportunities to be better friends, better neighbors or better more engaged human beings. Thank you Nancy for your grace and for giving us all an example of how we should live. Thank you so much.

Gold at the end of the rainbow One of the nice things about technology is that it makes it so easy to share things. For instance, just the other day, our son Andy sent us a photo of the grandkids. We love getting grandkid pictures, STEVE HUDSON but this one had ‘em Get Outside Georgia, aa4bw@comcast.net standing on top of Andy’s car and looking at the gigantic rainbow which arched through the sky in the background. “Daddy, can we stand on the car so we can see the rainbow better?” the grandson had asked, and a few minutes later that’s where they were. The question, of course, is why they wanted to better see the rainbow. Legend has always said there’s gold at the end of rainbows. I like legends like that. They’ve always captured my imagination. I remembered one day when I was a kid and there was a giant rainbow right there over the house and I decided to find the place where it ended, certain that gold awaited me at the end. The spot I sought appeared to be over there near the big pecan trees behind my grandma’s house, and off I went, pot-o’-gold stories loud in
my mind. But when I got there it turned out that the rainbow actually ended in that impenetrable patch of blackberry bushes a little further on. I considered my options: sure and sudden wealth vs. sharp and certain thorns. Even at that young age, I was able to evaluate that equation, and I understood that the price of treasure just might be too high. So I abandoned the search, telling myself I’d wait till next time and find my pot of gold then. A few issues back, I talked about another gold treasure – lost Confederate gold, to be precise. I’m an incurable romantic, I admit, and a good treasure legend holds inexhaustible appeal. But I’m also not as young as I used to be, and (romantic or not) the notion of scrambling through the wild wilderness in search of elusive lost gold is not quite as appealing as it used to be. So, as you’ll recall, I shared some top-secret pointers on where that lost gold might possibly be. I really hoped that one of you would figure out the clues and find the gold and then put my share in a little box and mail it to me. So far no gold has shown up among the credit card solicitations and fast-food promos that mostly fill my mailbox, but there’s always tomorrow. But even though I haven’t seen any of that treasure yet, I’ve heard about some
other possible treasure hordes. Who would have thought that there’s so much lost treasure out there waiting to be found? Case in point: the other day, while heading off with my fly rod on an altogether different kind of treasure hunt, I decided to eat breakfast at the Waffle House. I was sitting at the counter studying my map and working on my All Star (with bacon and eggs over easy) when this guy of indeterminate age just appeared out of nowhere and sat down on the stool next to me. Then he started to talk. “Noticed your map,” he said. “You looking for treasure?” Now that’s an odd way to start a conversation, even at a Waffle House. “Well, kind of,” I replied, not knowing what else to say. “Going to do a little fishing.” “Uh huh,” he said. “So you say. But I see that there map.” And then he went on to tell me a story. The story was a tale of lost Cherokee gold, and at its center were an aging Cherokee and a conductor on a train. “Every once in a while, an old Native American would catch the train and ride to this one certain place. He’d get off the train. Two or three weeks later he’d show up again and do the same thing again.”
Steve’s grandchildren stand on the roof of a car and admire a rainbow. “Uh huh,” I said. “Yeah. Then one day, the old Cherokee told the conductor what he was doing. He said he was lookin’ for a treasure that one of his relatives or somebody had buried, somewhere near there!” He thumped his index finger onto my map. The spot where it landed was near the intersection of I-285 and I-75. “After a while, the old Cherokee said he was giving up the search,” my fellow diner continued. “He just disappeared. But the conductor remembered the story. He started looking for the treasure too.” Okay, I thought.

Lambert student arrested for social media threat By KATHLEEN STURGEON kathleen@appenmediagroup.com FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. — An 18-yearold Lambert High School student was arrested last week after he reportedly made threats toward other students. Joshua Leonard Zelonka was arrested Sept. 17 shortly after the threat was made, according to Sheriff’s Office Public Information Officer Cpl. Doug Rainwater. “Basically, from when the first threat was made at the school from him we had him in handcuffs within 30 minutes,” Rainwater said. “Plus, he had no means of doing any of what he said he was going to do. No means would be no weapons on him or even at his home. We checked his home, too.”
He was arrested at the school for disrupting a public school and is in jail awaiting a bond hearing, Rainwater said. Principal Gary Davison said during first period school officials were alerted to concerning statements made. The school day continued as normal. “The rumors have been investigated and all students involved are currently with law enforcement,” Davison said. “Again, there have been many rumors, all of which are verified as rumors. We are continuing with our school day, everyone is safe and sound.” The next day, Davison followed up to parents saying the student who initiated the rumor is off campus and in police custody. He said there was an increased

Sheriff’s Office presence at the school, along with additional staff around the campus for supervision. “Lambert High School takes these rumors extremely seriously,” he said. “I would like to take this opportunity to thank students, staff and members of the community who shared information with us bringing a very quick resolution to the rumor. We have fully embraced the ‘see something, say something’ program.” To use the school system’s anonymous tip reporting service, visit forsyth.k12.ga.us/Page/635. The incident comes just weeks after the Forsyth County Commission voted to approve 11 new school resource officers at a Sept. 11 meeting. There are currently 28 school resource officers throughout the district, many high resolution cameras in the schools and state-of-the-art surveillance equipment.

MILTON, Ga. — Readers of the young adult novel, “What If It’s Us” will likely recognize the setting for one of the main characters, Milton. And, they will have the opportunity to meet the two bestselling authors behind the novel at its debut at the Milton Library. The library will host co-authors Becky Albertalli and Adam Silvera at 6 p.m. on Oct. 9 to launch their nationwide book tour. The romantic comedy novel follows the budding romance of Arthur and Ben who have their first encounter at a New York City post office. Arthur is visiting New York from his hometown of Milton with stars in his eyes, hoping the city lives up to his Broadway expectations. Having never dated anyone, his Broadway expectations include romance. In the post office, Arthur runs into Ben, who is mailing his ex-boyfriend’s belongings back and has been battered by recent events in his personal life. Arthur and Ben have a “missed connection” at the post office, but quickly reconnect through online sleuthing. Though this is the foundation for their burgeoning romance, both characters enter it with different expectations. Albertalli, a Roswell native and author of three previous young adult novels, said collaborating with Silvera on the book was an enjoyable experience. “It was easily the most fun and rewarding writing experience I’ve had,” Albertalli said. “Every conversation we had about this book would take us in another direction we didn’t anticipate because we would build off each other.” Albertalli said in order to collaborate, the two authors wrote an “intense” outline and would text one another as they simultaneously wrote chapters. “I really had to get to know Adam’s character from Adam’s point of view,” Albertalli said. “One thing we didn’t anticipate was how much I would be writing from his character’s perspective.” Albertalli and Silvera, a New York resident, each brought their own distinct styles. Albertalli said she has a reputation for happy, “tied-up with a bow” endings while Silvera’s novels are emotional books that are “massive tear jerkers” with “deliberately complicated endings.” “With our different approaches, lots of people have asked about the end-

ing of ‘What If It’s Us,’ and all I can say it’s a very Adam and Becky ending and a perfect marriage of our two styles,” Albertalli said. With the book featuring two gay main characters, Albertalli said the novel is also part of the movement to create more diversity in young adult novels. The authors built their friendship five years ago while writing novels featuring gay main characters. They struck up a conversation not knowing what to expect from publishers. “Publishing has a problem of being very white, very straight and very able-bodied just in terms of what kinds of books get acquired and published,” Albertalli said. But the author said thanks in part to the nonprofit group “We Need More Diverse Books,” the conversation regarding varied main characters has allowed publishers to better reflect the diversity of the world in books. Albertalli is also excitedly anticipating the release of “What if it’s Us,” as the Milton library. “We are particularly excited about the event,” she said. “There are so many things regarding fate and the universe that come up between characters in the book, so it’s this weird Meta key thing that we are kicking off the book tour at the Milton Library, the hometown library of one of the characters. It should be a really special event.”
OPINION
Rainbow: Continued from Page 11
“Did the conductor ever find the treasure?” I asked, not knowing exactly what else to say, and at that very moment my mind suddenly formed an image of what that conductor might have looked like. To my faint surprise it bore a certain resemblance to the guy sitting next to me at the counter – who, at that precise moment, stood up and plunked a $20 bill down on the counter. “Breakfast’s on me,” he said. “And good luck finding your treasure.” He left then, leaving me with my map and my eggs and bacon and waffle. I cleaned my plate. And then I looked at the map again. I-285 and I-75, eh? Lots of development thereabouts now, I told myself. Wait. What? I didn’t even know that legend five minutes ago, but now I’m thinking about that treasure like it’s…like it’s… Well. The Chattahoochee flows right near there, and it’s one of my favorite places to fish, especially in the fall. Fall is coming, and I’m sure to be on the river a good bit. Couldn’t hurt to keep my eyes open, now, could it? Especially if there’s an arc of color in the sky…

Cause Local debuts innovating fundraising effort at Milton High By JOE PARKER joe@appenmediagroup.com MILTON, Ga — Milton High School is now home to an innovative fundraising technique that combines raising money for the school and its clubs while providing businesses with product exposure, sales and market research. Cause Local, an Alpharetta firm specializing in fundraising strategies, recently unveiled an initiative which allows patrons to buy products at the school and commit half the proceeds back to the school. Purchases, including school supplies, snacks, electronics, clothes and other items can be made on a device which resembles a cross between a large display case and a high-tech vending machine with a massive touch-screen. Mark Baule, founder of Cause Local, said the machine allows the company to sell their products while helping to give back to Milton High and its clubs. “The real benefit is how much money we can bring in from the brands knowing they can see real sales associated with the money they spend. They can sample real products to an important demographic and at the say time they are giving back,” Baule said. Many clubs and organizations rely on discount cards or other fundraising efforts, but Baule said he hopes the new venture at Milton will be the future of monetary support for those groups. “We consider this a fishing pole for schools,” Baule said. “If we give them a pole and the right bait, [companies] can get on board because they would love to reach this generation of students.” The machine, which was developed over two years by Gwinnett Tech and
Joe Parker/Herald
Students and visitors to Milton High School can purchase a range of products from the innovative machine in the lobby, with half of the sale proceeds going back to the school. local high school students, also allows patrons to sample products, which Baule said includes tech devices. Those sampling the products are given questionnaires about the product, providing valuable, real-world market research for companies. Baule said another innovative factor in the machine is that it provides people with a way to directly support specific efforts with total transparency. “You do want to know what happened with what you give,” he said. “A person might choose a certain thing to fund at a specific dollar amount. They can say, ‘It’s dedicated to this.’”
In addition to supporting school clubs and initiatives, the effort can also provide students with valuable work experience. Baule said he has 12 interns from Gwinnett Tech and Milton, Roswell and Chattahoochee high schools who are gaining marketing, sales, project management and data science experience. Other students can benefit beyond funding their clubs, Baule said. “The art department can place some items in here and students can get an idea of what sells,” he said. “Then you could have a company like Dick Blick or Michael’s could come by, see that idea
and decide to put some money toward that student’s project.” Though Milton is the first school to feature the innovating fundraising effort, Baule said 12 other schools and a county in Maryland have expressed interest. For now, Baule and Cause Local will look to grow their influence over the thousands that have a shared interest in Milton High’s efforts. “The goal is to get some more visibility and brands,” Baule said. “We’d love to have brands come and sell here, sample here and research here knowing it’s going to help the students and schools.”

Braves gamble paying off big in Cobb County When the Braves announced they were leaving Turner Field and downtown Atlanta, and Cobb County voted to issue more than $376 million in bonds to help build a new stadium, Atlantans sour about Geoff smith the deal decried Assurance Financial, gsmith@lendtheway.com Cobb officials as fiscal fools, and Cobb voters eventually showed up at the polls to oust then County Chairman Tim Lee. But according to a new Georgia Tech study, those initial negative reactions appear to have been short-sighted. The Georgia Tech Center for Economic Development Research just released a study showing that while the county will see an annual net loss of $5.8 million for helping to build and for operating the stadium, it will also see annual revenues in excess of $11.3 million from neighboring development. And the Cobb County School system will see an additional $15.9 million in annual revenue. These revenues are being generated in the form of new property taxes, sales taxes, new hotel/motel taxes and other government revenues from the nearby Battery and other development because of the new stadium. So for an annual commitment of $5.8 million, the county has generated net revenues of $27.2 million for itself and the school system – that’s a $21.4 million net gain. Some in the Braves organization are arguing that these figures are overly conservative and the actual net gain will be much higher. Opponents of the stadium argue that the numbers are overly aggressive. But unless these folks at Georgia Tech are grossly incompetent, it seems pretty obvious that the county is financially better off for having worked out the deal with the Atlanta Braves organization.

The Georgia Tech Center for Economic Development Research just released a study showing that while the county will see an annual net loss of $5.8 million for helping to build and for operating the stadium, it will also see annual revenues in excess of $11.3 million from neighboring development. I went back and looked through old articles that were being written about Cobb County development prior to the announcement of the new stadium. None of it was very pretty. While new projects were being unveiled throughout the metro area – like Avalon in Alpharetta, The Beltline around Atlanta, and the myriad of new suburban downtowns from Duluth, to Suwanee and Lawrenceville, very little was being done in Cobb County. The office and retail developments that were once vibrant in the 1980s were looking dated. Other than daytime office use, there was very little happening in downtown Marietta – Cobb’s largest city. It wasn’t easy to find commercial property that was increasing in value at the same rate as other areas around Atlanta. But today is a different story. New development, especially near the stadium, is running rampant. Deals are being brokered for those dated commercial developments that today find themselves in demand. Comcast moved its regional headquarters to the Battery next to the stadium. One of the world’s largest elevator manufacturers, Thyussenkrupp Elevator, announced it will build a state-ofthe-art facility in the Battery that will house 900 employees that will make up its U.S. headquarters. And a friend tells me that she goes to the Marietta square all the time for dinner and fun at night.
The County Commissioners in Cobb took a pretty big gamble to get the stadium there. One could argue whether former Commission Chair Lee lost his election because of the financial aspect of the deal, or the secrecy and lack of public process by which the county went about securing the deal. But it is really hard to argue honestly that the county is worse
off. People are going to Cobb County now. Developers want to invest there. Before the stadium it was a county that kind of looked like it was getting old. Now it looks like it’s getting new. Cobb County leaders and the Atlanta Braves swung for the fences on their decision to bring the Braves there and build The Battery. As time goes on, it’s looking more and more like a home run.

When is the best time to get the flu vaccine? If you answered now, you are correct. October begins the cold and flu season as the weather outside starts to get cold. It can last until March or even sometimes as late as May. Each year, it is important to be prepared and protect you and your family from getting the flu. It is especially important for adults 65 years of age and older, people living in nursing homes or long-term care facilities and those who are at high risk for flu-related complications. The cold and the flu are similar, yet they are two different conditions. They are both caused by viruses that are contagious. The cold is often mild, starts slow, and can last longer. The flu (influenza) is often much more severe and appears very suddenly but does not last long. There are several things you can do to protect against getting sick. You may still get a cold and the flu, but these tips can help prevent or lessen your symptoms.
Wash your hands often. This can help stop germs from spreading. Eat healthy, be active, and get enough sleep. These help to boost your immune system and keep your body strong. Cough and sneeze into your elbow. Think about all the germs you spread if you use your hands. Use antibacterial products to clean surfaces. These products help to disinfect germs and should be used throughout your home. Common areas are tables and countertops. Do not forget to clean door handles, light switches, and your child’s toys. Stay home when you are sick. You can be contagious before you have symptoms and after you start to feel better. Avoid places where you may spread the virus. Stay away from people at risk. Try to avoid young children and babies, pregnant women, people age 65 or older, and anyone with a chronic condition, such
as asthma. People in these groups are at higher risk for flu-related complications. The best way to protect against the flu is to get the seasonal influenza vaccine. People 6 months of age or older should get the flu vaccine. This is by recommendation of the American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP) and the
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The flu vaccine is especially important for people who are at high risk for flu-related complications. You can get your flu vaccine by calling Alpha Family Medicine at 678-619-1974 to schedule an appointment.

Strategies to Keep Yourself Stronger as a Family Caregiver Brought to You by Home Helpers of Alpharetta When you’re a family caregiver, there’s a lot of responsibility on your shoulders. To stay strong and healthy over the long term, try some of these strategies. Practice Self-awareness Regularly It’s easy to let yourself go numb and to just go through the motions of every day. It’s even easier when you’re too busy to eat right and to get enough sleep. Self-awareness means that you’re making a conscious effort to pay attention to what is going on with your body, your mind, and your emotions. Mindful activity helps you to maintain awareness and your energy level. Form a Support Network for Yourself If you don’t already have a support system that you can count on, you need to formulate one. Your own support network is going to look different than anyone else’s, but it might be made up of family members, friends, neighbors, coworkers or members of support groups you attend. Having a larger support team helps you manage your caregiving needs with-
out feeling as if you’re over burdening one person. You should also consider the peace of mind and support some professional in-home care can provide. Practice Self Care Being a caregiver means that you’re going to continually monitor and adjust situations to keep them on an even keel - not just for your older loved one, but for yourself. Set aside time to assess if everything is still working well for you. Schedule personal breaks and exercise to stay healthy. Respite care can be the key to maintaining some mental and physical balance in your life. A carefully matched, heart-centered Home Helpers caregiver can help find the youthful spirit in your older loved one and keep them happy, healthy and safe as they age in place. We can assist with all personal care, help around the house, transportation and specialized care for Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, etc. It’s a decision that can make a real difference in their and your life. For a free in-home consultation to create a customized plan for your needs, please contact us at (678) 430-8511.

An interview with Dr. Taylor By Alyssa MacNamera I had the pleasure of sitting down with Dr. Taylor after his 2018 Best of win to ask him about his recent success. As we sit in the bright, clean, welcoming waiting room of Premier Dermatology, Dr. Taylor Dr. Taylor is holding his newborn son, his third boy, only 15 days old. He apologizes for the squeaks of the sleeping baby and smiles apologizing when those squeaks interrupt our interview. After speaking with him for an hour, I am well aware of the reasons for his renown. He is warm, instantly calming, respectful and shockingly intelligent. Despite having a youthful face that, at first glance, might make you question his experience, his knowledge and surgical ability are well established: both are touted in patient reviews and displayed in a vast surgical portfolio. He is loved and respected by his patients and his staff, and it is easy to see why. He is, to say the least, a genuine individual and accomplished physician. Congratulations on winning both Best Dermatologist and Best Vein Specialist of North Atlanta! As a new practice, it is quite an honor to win these titles, let alone winning Best Vein Specialist 2 years in a row. To what do you attribute to your success? Dr. Taylor: Well thank you very much! You’re right. It is an honor to win and I am extremely appreciative of the accolade. I am very fortunate to live and work in an area that has exceptional healthcare including outstanding dermatologists and remarkable Mohs surgeons. Moreover, residents of North Fulton are smart consumers, who do their research on their potential physicians. Given this, I truly value the confidence that my patients have placed in me. I don’t have any hidden secret to Premier Dermatology’s success per se. I have been trained by exceptional physicians and I work with exceptional people. I strive to always be patientcentered, to put the patient first, to read up, perform extra research for my patients and advocate for them. Quality controls, back-up systems and patient care processes are an area of special interest for me. I have been an airplane pilot for over ten years, and I believe the strategies for safety and quality that aviation emphasizes have translated into improved processes within my own practice.
But most importantly, I really owe so much to our amazing staff! Given that we are a small practice with only 7 staff members, I am beyond thankful for their expertise, compassion and the concern that they have for our patients. We spend a lot of time together given our 10 to 12 hour work days, so it is invaluable that we all get along and not only like our jobs but strive to excel and improve our processes. We’ve been open 18 months now and are constantly trying to improve wherever we can. I think that’s part of our success: patients recognize our genuine concern and commitment to excellence. Is there something you feel sets yourself apart from the other physicians in the area? Dr. Taylor: Actually I do believe I spend an unusual amount of time with my patients. As a procedural dermatologist, I am used to a smaller volume of patients with longer visits so that translates over to my general dermatology patients. (With a laugh) Granted sometimes that means my schedule runs behind, but ultimately our patients leave knowing that they received thorough, high quality care. And I appreciate the understanding my patients show me, because I think that they can tell that if I am running behind that it is because I chose to give a prior patient the time he or she needed rather than run on schedule. Regarding Mohs surgery and vein care, my fellowship covered multiple aspects of surgical dermatology, so I feel that I am able to address some of the extra concerns that patients may have that would otherwise be referred out to other specialists, and I perform these services at the level you would expect from someone who is fellowship-trained and board-certified. For example, I can treat medically significant vein disease with various procedures such as laser ablation and foam sclerotherapy then, once resolved, clear up the cosmetic vein issues with sclerotherapy or laser treatments. I am also one of the only physicians in Georgia with the ability to cure melanoma with true Mohs surgery. In general, these would be treated by different specialists or would be treated using non-equivalent techniques. Anything else you’d like to say? Dr. Taylor: I really just want to say thank you very much! Thank you to our staff: you are valued and wonderful and we wouldn’t be continuing to excel without each and every one of you! Also thank you so very much to all of our patients and our community! Your confidence and support is greatly appreciated and rewarding. I look forward to continuing to strive to provide patients with exceptional care.

Milton comeback falls short, Bears drop region game By JOE PARKER joe@appenmediagroup.com Parkview 37, Milton 35 After kicking off their season with three straight wins, the Eagles dropped to 3-2 in their final non-region game with a loss to 6th-ranked Parkview. The loss was Milton’s second straight by two points and their third game of the year against a top-10 opponent. Milton trailed 30-13 at the half but chipped away at the Panthers lead to cut the gap to 37-29 late in the fourth. After a goal-line stand, Parkview fumbled on a field goal attempt and Milton scooped the ball and returned it for a touchdown to put their deficit at just two points. However, Milton did not convert its 2-point play, and Parkview recovered the ensuing onside kick. Milton enters region play against West Forsyth on Oct. 5. North Atlanta 23, Cambridge 14 After a tight game though the first three quarters, North Atlanta scored two unanswered touchdowns in the final period to down the Bears for the first time in five meetings between the programs. Freshman quarterback Zach Harris threw two touchdown passes to give the Bears a 14-10 lead late in the third quarter, but North Atlanta used two interceptions to claim the lead. North Atlanta scored early in the fourth after their drive was set up by the giveaway, and a pick-six put the Warriors ahead for the final score of 23-14. Cambridge (1-4, 1-2) faces Chattahoochee (0-5, 0-3) on Sept 28. Alpharetta 55, Dunwoody 21 Alpharetta improved to 2-0 in region play with a lopsided win over Dunwoody on the road Friday night. The Raiders scored five touchdowns in the second quarter and held Dunwoody to just 7 points in the opening 36 minutes to cruise to the win. Quarterback Will Gerdes had three total touchdowns, fellow quarterback Bradley Rowlinson had a touchdown rush, Kent Cherry had two rushing scores, and Dane Motley returned a fumble 36-yards for a touchdown in the win. The Raiders (3-1, 2-0) continue region play against Centennial on Sept. 28. Wheeler 37, Roswell 36 Just a week after earning a dramatic comeback win over rival Milton, Roswell played another thriller Friday night but wound up on the losing end. Wheeler took an early 6-0 lead, but Roswell responded with 19 unanswered
Read the entire recap online at NorthFulton. com/Sports points. The Wildcats cut the margin to 19-12 before halftime to start a rash of back-and-forth scoring in the second half. Wheeler scored on a touchdown and added a field goal before a 50-yard touchdown pass from Ethan Roberts to John Copenhaver put the Hornets up 33-22. That lead was short lived, with Wheeler scoring a touchdown and adding a 2-point conversion to cut the margin to 3 points. Each team exchanged punts before a 26-yard field goal from Caden Long put Roswell ahead 36-30 in the final minutes of the fourth. Wheeler scored a touchdown with under a minute remaining and stopped Roswell’s last-second comeback bid to earn a win over its former region rival. After a bye week, Roswell (4-1) begins Region 4-AAAAAAA play against Cherokee Oct. 5. Johns Creek 65, Northview 20 Johns Creek set a program record for points in a game with a dominant performance over crosstown rival Chattahoochee Friday night. Quarterback Zach Gibson had 342 yards passing with seven touchdowns on just 10 receptions. Receiver Dalton Pearson had four receptions for 183 yards with three touchdowns, and Giovanni Dyer had five catches for 142 yards and three scores. Johns Creek running back Will Watson rushed for 102 yards and a score. The Gladiators scored touchdowns on the first play of four of its offensive possessions.

Blessed Trinity 45, West Hall 3 Blessed Trinity began its quest for a fifth region championship in six years with a win over West Hall at home Friday night to begin Region 7-AAAA play. BT’s defense showed its might again by holding the Spartans to a single field goal in the second quarter. Meanwhile, the Titans’ offense scored 31 points in the first half. Quarterback Jake Smith had three touchdown passes, two to Carson Harof, and Steele Chambers had two rushing scores to lead the Titans’ offense. BT has its final bye week before tak-
ing on region newcomers Denmark (4-1, 1-0) on Oct. 5. Fellowship Christian 21, Mt. Paran 13 Fellowship Christian earned a crucial win over defending Region 6-A champs Mt. Paran to continue their undefeated start and lead the region standings. Mt. Paran opened a 13-0 lead, but the Paladins used Eagles turnovers to their advantage in the final period to claim the comeback win. An interception from Fellowship’s Parker Addison set up an 11-yard touchdown pass from Brooks Bryant to Murphy Reeves to cut the margin in half midway through the third quarter. Lawson Haigler forced another interception on Mt. Paran’s ensuing drive which led to a rushing score from Cameron Gill to put Fellowship ahead, 14-13. Cam Cochran grabbed Fellowship’s third interception of the half midway through the fourth, and the Paladins recovered a fumble to set up their final score of the game, a 91-yard rush from Reeves. Fellowship (5-0, 3-0) forced a turnover on downs in the final minutes to seal the win. Fellowship’s win was their third over Mt. Paran in the last three seasons. The Paladins have a bye before continuing region play against St. Francis Oct. 5. Mount Pisgah 21, King’s Ridge 17 Mount Pisgah earned its seventhstraight win over King’s Ridge Friday night at home and improved to 2-1 in region play. The Tigers opened a 14-7 lead in the first half with two rushing scores, but Mount Pisgah forced a turnover on downs in the red zone and tied the game with a 37-yard touchdown pass from Connor Norwood to Chase Grande midway though the third. King’s Ridge converted a field goal to reclaim the lead, but Norwood’s second score of the game with six minutes remaining gave the Patriots a 21-17 lead. The Tigers drove inside the red zone with under two minutes remaining, but the Patriots’ defense came up with another stop to escape with the win. The Patriots (2-3, 2-1) continue region play against Mt. Paran on Sept. 28. King’s Ridge (0-4, 0-2) will look for its first win of the season against Whitefield Academy. Pinecrest Academy 37, Walker 30 Pinecrest Academy earned its first Region 6-A win of the season on the road against Walker Friday night. The Paladins improved to 4-1 all-time against Walker.
JOE PARKER/HERALD
Nate Hope rushes for a first down. Hope had 83 yards rushing in Johns Creek’s win.
The Paladins prevailed in the backand-forth affair after trailing by 10 in the third quarter. Pinecrest cut the lead to 30-29 and scored the eventual gamewinning touchdown with two minutes remaining in the fourth quarter. Though Walker drove inside the Paladins’ 15-yard line and had a shot at the end zone as time expired, the pass fell incomplete and Pinecrest escaped with the narrow win. The Paladins (2-3, 1-1) have a bye this week ahead of their Oct. 5 matchup with Mount Pisgah. Whitefield Academy 34, St. Francis 6 St. Francis fell short in a matchup against Whitefield Academy Friday night on the road. With the loss the Knights fell to 0-2 in region play.

All proceeds from the 5K will go toward the mission. “Supporting the Alpharetta Public Safety Foundation is all about showing your appreciation and pride for our public safety heroes who risk their lives each and every day when they go to work,” said Tom Deets, president of SharpShooters USA. “Our police, fire and 911 operators are dedicated to improving the quality of life for those who work, live and play in Alpharetta.” This year’s honoree is K-9 Drax, a dual-purpose Shepherd-Mal mix from Slovakia. Drax has an Instagram @ adps_k9_drax with over 2,300 followers. The K-9 5K Foot Chase will give

Fulton’s graduation rate tops among area’s large school systems Goal of 90 percent system wide still not met By CANDY WAYLOCK candy@appenmediagroup.com The graduation rate for Fulton County students continues to be the highest rates among all large metro Atlanta school districts, but the district’s strategic goal of achieving a 90 percent rate remains elusive. Data released by the Georgia Department of Education shows 86.8 percent of all Class of 2018 students in Fulton County high schools graduated in four years. That number is unchanged from 2017 but is well above the 81.6 percent statewide average for public schools. “We are pleased that more students than ever are reaching this goal [in four years],” said Fulton Superintendent Jeff Rose, Ed.D. “We know there is still work to do [and] we won’t be satisfied until every student holds a diploma in their hand.” Among North Fulton’s eight traditional high schools, Cambridge with a 97.3 percent graduation rate, had the highest performance for the second year
in a row, followed closely by Johns Creek at 97.1. Only two schools had rates higher than last year — Johns Creek and Milton — with Roswell High falling just under the 90 percent threshold this year with an 88.8 percent graduation rate. The 2018 state graduation rate is an all-time high for Georgia, with 74 of 181 school districts recording 2018 graduation rates at or above 90 percent. “Georgia’s graduation rate continues to rise because our public school students have access to more opportunities than ever before,” said State School Superintendent Richard Woods. This is the eighth year Georgia has calculated the graduation rate using the U.S. Department of Education standards. The formula tracks each student when they first enter high school as a freshman, and whether they graduate within four years. In the past, graduation rates included students who took more than four years to graduate, and did not account for transfers and dropouts. Woods noted all states use the same calculation, but each state sets its own requirements to earn a high school diploma. Georgia, he added, has among the highest requirements in the nation for graduation.

How to identify a sick tree It’s easy to miss when a tree is growing sick. Most tree health problems grow slowly, with little visible difference from one day to the next, until leaves change colors or the canopy begins to thin. The longer it takes to spot problems, the more likely the tree’s illness will become serious enough that it needs to be

removed. However, if you can catch the signs early and call for an arborist, it may be possible to treat the sickness or damage and save the tree. Keep an eye out for these common signs of trouble: • Look for wilting or oddly-colored leaves, either along one or two limbs or all over the tree. • Check for cracks appearing in primary limbs or even in the trunk of the tree. • Examine dead branches, which may simply need pruning, but which can also indicate that a tree is in poor health. • Watch for decaying or hollow spots, especially along the trunk and around the joints of the limbs. • Look for insect damage, such as chewed leaves, holes made by burrowing bugs, silk webs and nests, and dripping sap or honeydew.

In Memoriam
Nancy Sisson Crowell
Nancy Sisson Crowell (65), of Alpharetta, Georgia, passed away unexpectedly at her home on September 11, 2018. Nancy was loved by many and considered an angel on this earth by those who were fortunate enough to have experienced her compassion and infinite selfless acts of kindness. Nancy is survived by her loving husband, Alan and twin children, Breanna and Christopher as well as her brothers Allen (Deborah) and Verne ( Janet), sister Debbie (Robert) Wych, sister -in-law Pat Bryant, nieces and nephews-Katie (Ryan), Becky, Brian, Aaron (Abbi), Heidi (Nate), Katlyne, Keith Bryant (Amanda), & Robyn Weindel (Rich). Nancy was preceded in death by her mother, Verna (Swain) and father Clarence Sisson. Nancy was born in Rockford, IL August 4, 1953 and grew up on the family farm in Garden Prairie, IL. Nancy was a graduate of Belvidere High School in Belvidere, IL & Iowa State University in Ames, IA. After graduation, Nancy worked for ARA Food Services at Michael Reese Hospital in Chicago, IL before moving to Akron, OH, as a Registered Dietitian at Akron City Hospital where she met her husband-to-be, Alan Crowell. As a couple, they shared deep love for one another, traveled the world, and in thirty-five years, never had an argument.
In 1998, Nancy and her family moved to Milton, GA, where she became very involved in Christopher and Breanna’s school, sports and social activities. She was an incredible and devoted mother who loved to be a part of every aspect of her children’s lives, and always emphasized the value of education saying that “education is one thing that nobody can ever take away from you.” Nancy’s family and her faith in Jesus Christ were the two most important things in life. She never missed a day of reading her Bible and, as a member of Alpharetta Presbyterian Church, she participated in Bible studies, the Whiz Kids Program, Lydia Circle and various other women’s and family ministry programs. Outside of the church, she also tutored her young neighbor, Ella, several times a week after school. A Celebration of Life Service was held on Tuesday, September 18 at Nancy’s beloved Alpharetta Presbyterian Church and was followed by a private internment ceremony for family members and invited guests. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to the Alpharetta Presbyterian Church Memorial Fund in honor of Nancy S. Crowell.

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.
